1
00:00:00,480 --> 00:00:06,200
Speaker 1: The Around the NFL Podcast one a Stitcher award. I

2
00:00:06,240 --> 00:00:09,600
Speaker 1: think where the hell east that? Welcome back to another

3
00:00:09,720 --> 00:00:12,399
Speaker 1: edition of the Around the NFL Podcast. My name is

4
00:00:12,480 --> 00:00:16,160
Speaker 1: Dan Hansas and I'm joined by Room Bilder Heroes, Mark Sessler,

5
00:00:16,520 --> 00:00:20,720
Speaker 1: Chris Wesley, and Greg Rosa. What's up, boys? What is happening?

6
00:00:21,079 --> 00:00:24,360
Speaker 1: I can't It was a big day. The two best

7
00:00:24,400 --> 00:00:29,040
Speaker 1: games delivered Giants and Panthers, Steelers and Broncos, and it

8
00:00:29,080 --> 00:00:33,280
Speaker 1: had to have been the chippiest, scrummiest day of the West.

9
00:00:33,360 --> 00:00:36,400
Speaker 1: All fired up lust. The afterglow from the Dan Hansas

10
00:00:36,440 --> 00:00:40,120
Speaker 1: Christmas party is strong. Everyone just in a happy, merry

11
00:00:40,200 --> 00:00:43,559
Speaker 1: mood after that. Yes, yes it was. It was. It

12
00:00:43,600 --> 00:00:46,360
Speaker 1: was great to have all you guys at the party. Hey,

13
00:00:46,400 --> 00:00:49,080
Speaker 1: by the way, Bob Costas just came up on the

14
00:00:49,120 --> 00:00:51,360
Speaker 1: halftime show. I'm sure he had some heat about O

15
00:00:51,520 --> 00:00:53,440
Speaker 1: d B. We're gonna have to get into that, Odell

16
00:00:53,479 --> 00:00:56,760
Speaker 1: Beckham one of the main subplots. I was hoping that

17
00:00:56,960 --> 00:01:00,440
Speaker 1: Bob would scale to the top of the soapbox shout

18
00:01:00,480 --> 00:01:04,240
Speaker 1: from the rooftops. Well, it's very possible to happen. Um.

19
00:01:04,280 --> 00:01:06,360
Speaker 1: So yeah, that was a major subplot of the game.

20
00:01:07,160 --> 00:01:12,679
Speaker 1: Of the week, but the Panthers are still undefeated. Spoiler alert,

21
00:01:12,720 --> 00:01:14,120
Speaker 1: I'm gonna throw it out there and at the top

22
00:01:14,160 --> 00:01:17,240
Speaker 1: of the show. So that is we're entering historic territory.

23
00:01:17,360 --> 00:01:20,399
Speaker 1: Now a lot coming up on today's show. We will

24
00:01:20,440 --> 00:01:22,639
Speaker 1: talk about that game. We will talk about the Kansas

25
00:01:22,640 --> 00:01:27,160
Speaker 1: City Chiefs, who are quietly or maybe not so quietly anymore,

26
00:01:27,200 --> 00:01:30,199
Speaker 1: but they are now heading towards their own big streak.

27
00:01:30,280 --> 00:01:32,280
Speaker 1: They could roll into the playoffs in a ten game

28
00:01:32,680 --> 00:01:34,720
Speaker 1: winning streak. They've won now eight in a row. We'll

29
00:01:34,720 --> 00:01:38,440
Speaker 1: talk about that. And of course Sunday Night Football, UH,

30
00:01:38,520 --> 00:01:42,760
Speaker 1: the team of around the NFL, the Arizona Cardinals UH

31
00:01:42,880 --> 00:01:48,680
Speaker 1: playing the Philadelphia Eagles with big playoff ramifications for both sides.

32
00:01:49,120 --> 00:01:53,320
Speaker 1: A lot to talk about, Greg. In the National Football League, well,

33
00:01:53,320 --> 00:01:55,240
Speaker 1: it's Week fifteen, I should hope. So it didn't look

34
00:01:55,240 --> 00:01:57,600
Speaker 1: like a great slate on paper, maybe the worst all season,

35
00:01:57,680 --> 00:02:01,000
Speaker 1: But you're right West the games themselves delivered. Does it

36
00:02:01,080 --> 00:02:03,520
Speaker 1: bother you at all? Greg, because you are the master

37
00:02:03,600 --> 00:02:07,280
Speaker 1: of tie breakers and playoffs? Scenario is that the way

38
00:02:07,280 --> 00:02:10,200
Speaker 1: things are shaking out in each conference, it's not too crazy.

39
00:02:10,639 --> 00:02:12,240
Speaker 1: It's not as many teams in the mix where you

40
00:02:12,240 --> 00:02:15,880
Speaker 1: could show off your skill set. The boss is no

41
00:02:15,919 --> 00:02:18,200
Speaker 1: longer needed. I want a lot of thing. I want

42
00:02:18,200 --> 00:02:20,600
Speaker 1: a lot of scenario so that I can really show up. Yeah,

43
00:02:20,600 --> 00:02:23,320
Speaker 1: the NFC is very simple, the a f C. Yeah,

44
00:02:23,360 --> 00:02:25,960
Speaker 1: there's a couple of different things to expose a lot

45
00:02:26,000 --> 00:02:29,040
Speaker 1: of possible ties. We'll get into all that. I asked

46
00:02:29,080 --> 00:02:31,359
Speaker 1: me tonight to write the NFC playoff picture. I could

47
00:02:31,480 --> 00:02:38,520
Speaker 1: write it in the next fifteen minutes if I needed to. Essentially, Yeah,

48
00:02:38,760 --> 00:02:40,880
Speaker 1: that would be actually fun if we just carry it

49
00:02:40,919 --> 00:02:43,959
Speaker 1: onto the podcast. Is Mark banged away some copy and

50
00:02:43,960 --> 00:02:45,320
Speaker 1: then we could read it at the end of the show.

51
00:02:45,320 --> 00:02:48,960
Speaker 1: Do you want to do it? Just an idea? So yeah,

52
00:02:49,000 --> 00:02:50,520
Speaker 1: a lot of good stuff to get to, a lot

53
00:02:50,560 --> 00:02:52,839
Speaker 1: of football to talk about with the hero. So let's

54
00:02:52,880 --> 00:02:56,760
Speaker 1: get into it. Why not? And we'll start with, of course,

55
00:02:57,440 --> 00:03:01,679
Speaker 1: the Carolina Panthers, who, yes spoiler alert, already already let

56
00:03:01,680 --> 00:03:05,240
Speaker 1: the cat out of the bag. They remain unbeaten. Ronevera's

57
00:03:05,280 --> 00:03:08,120
Speaker 1: team blew a twenty eight points second half lead against

58
00:03:08,160 --> 00:03:10,720
Speaker 1: the Giants, but a Graham Gano field goal in the

59
00:03:10,760 --> 00:03:15,520
Speaker 1: final seconds security thirty five win. Caroline is now fourteen

60
00:03:15,520 --> 00:03:18,640
Speaker 1: and oh only the Falcons and Bucks left on that schedule.

61
00:03:18,720 --> 00:03:22,679
Speaker 1: Greg they stay perfect, and Odell Beckham lost his damn mind.

62
00:03:22,720 --> 00:03:25,160
Speaker 1: What a day this was. This was the chance for

63
00:03:25,200 --> 00:03:28,240
Speaker 1: the Panthers to lose the fact that you could somehow

64
00:03:28,280 --> 00:03:31,440
Speaker 1: blow a twenty eight point lead out of nowhere through

65
00:03:31,520 --> 00:03:35,760
Speaker 1: a variety of defensive letdowns and just bad luck a

66
00:03:35,840 --> 00:03:39,119
Speaker 1: blocked field goal. And yet Cam Newton gets the ball

67
00:03:39,120 --> 00:03:40,880
Speaker 1: with under two minutes to go, and he does the

68
00:03:40,920 --> 00:03:44,960
Speaker 1: two things he's been doing all year, just fireball slants

69
00:03:45,000 --> 00:03:48,200
Speaker 1: over the middle and then two runs for first downs,

70
00:03:48,360 --> 00:03:51,000
Speaker 1: sets up the game winning field goal, clinched the m

71
00:03:51,080 --> 00:03:54,280
Speaker 1: v P. It's all over, They're going sixty and oh

72
00:03:54,400 --> 00:03:57,800
Speaker 1: and he's getting the hardware. I love the contrast between

73
00:03:58,400 --> 00:04:01,320
Speaker 1: him and Odell Beckham, where them acts like a full

74
00:04:01,400 --> 00:04:04,760
Speaker 1: all game scores a touchdown, does the Allen Iverson walk

75
00:04:05,200 --> 00:04:08,560
Speaker 1: all over? Josh Norman step over and the camera pans

76
00:04:08,600 --> 00:04:10,800
Speaker 1: over to Cam Newton shakes his head like, all right,

77
00:04:10,840 --> 00:04:12,680
Speaker 1: I see you. Now go watch what I'm about to

78
00:04:12,720 --> 00:04:15,200
Speaker 1: do with the game on the line. He said. Cam

79
00:04:15,240 --> 00:04:18,440
Speaker 1: even said it in the postgame interview with Aaron Andrews

80
00:04:18,480 --> 00:04:21,599
Speaker 1: that they were so ticked off with how Beckham carried

81
00:04:21,600 --> 00:04:24,560
Speaker 1: on and Beckham it was it set him back a

82
00:04:24,560 --> 00:04:26,760
Speaker 1: long way in the in public opinion, I think, because

83
00:04:26,760 --> 00:04:30,279
Speaker 1: he just handled himself poorly. But Newton was so ticked

84
00:04:30,320 --> 00:04:31,960
Speaker 1: that he said the only thing he was upset about

85
00:04:31,960 --> 00:04:34,279
Speaker 1: after the games that they didn't score touchdown to win

86
00:04:34,320 --> 00:04:36,599
Speaker 1: because they really wanted to stick it to Beckham after

87
00:04:36,600 --> 00:04:39,960
Speaker 1: what he did. I mean Beckham to his if you

88
00:04:39,960 --> 00:04:42,920
Speaker 1: want to give him any credit, he he gets into

89
00:04:43,279 --> 00:04:45,800
Speaker 1: all these skirmishes with Josh Norman throughout the game, and

90
00:04:45,880 --> 00:04:48,279
Speaker 1: in theory maybe Norman sort of went after him a

91
00:04:48,320 --> 00:04:50,840
Speaker 1: little early on one play and then Beckham kept going

92
00:04:50,880 --> 00:04:53,320
Speaker 1: again and again. I blame the officials for not throwing

93
00:04:53,360 --> 00:04:55,520
Speaker 1: penalties in the first quarter. He should have had two

94
00:04:55,560 --> 00:04:58,080
Speaker 1: personal fouls in the first quarter. He didn't have any.

95
00:04:58,200 --> 00:05:00,480
Speaker 1: He ended up with four penalties in the game. That's

96
00:05:00,480 --> 00:05:03,120
Speaker 1: a most for any receiver in fifteen years. Three of

97
00:05:03,160 --> 00:05:05,560
Speaker 1: them were personal fouls. I think that the officials set

98
00:05:05,560 --> 00:05:07,839
Speaker 1: the tone by not throwing the flag earlier. If you

99
00:05:07,839 --> 00:05:09,920
Speaker 1: want to give Beckham any credit, who had a really

100
00:05:09,960 --> 00:05:12,200
Speaker 1: poor game no catches in the person, he did come

101
00:05:12,320 --> 00:05:15,080
Speaker 1: up with the two monster catches in the drive that

102
00:05:15,200 --> 00:05:18,119
Speaker 1: ties up the game to set up that big Cam Newton.

103
00:05:18,360 --> 00:05:20,960
Speaker 1: That's true. I mean he did show some resilience, but

104
00:05:21,520 --> 00:05:23,919
Speaker 1: even after he scored the touchdown, like West said, the

105
00:05:23,920 --> 00:05:26,719
Speaker 1: step over, it was like calm down, Odell. And when

106
00:05:26,760 --> 00:05:31,080
Speaker 1: he launched himself into Josh Norman's helmet, I mean, how

107
00:05:31,080 --> 00:05:32,400
Speaker 1: do you like get kicked out of the game? That

108
00:05:32,520 --> 00:05:34,479
Speaker 1: was just I mean, that was a terrible job build

109
00:05:34,520 --> 00:05:36,680
Speaker 1: up back and you're supposed to be tackled him on

110
00:05:36,720 --> 00:05:39,919
Speaker 1: another the young shining sun of New York Sports, the

111
00:05:39,960 --> 00:05:43,919
Speaker 1: successor to Jeter, and you're acting like a total I

112
00:05:43,960 --> 00:05:46,520
Speaker 1: can't even say, Well, we're weeks removed from him kicking

113
00:05:46,520 --> 00:05:49,039
Speaker 1: the ball in another game, and I can't think of

114
00:05:49,080 --> 00:05:52,000
Speaker 1: a player who is this talented. But this has been

115
00:05:52,040 --> 00:05:54,440
Speaker 1: going on for all season. When you talk to people

116
00:05:54,440 --> 00:05:57,040
Speaker 1: to deal with him, he is not well regarded by

117
00:05:57,040 --> 00:05:59,240
Speaker 1: his peers and and we talk of the downstairs. Maybe

118
00:05:59,240 --> 00:06:02,880
Speaker 1: there's the LSI aspect of that, his quickly rising star,

119
00:06:03,200 --> 00:06:05,640
Speaker 1: but he does not seem to be like well respected

120
00:06:05,680 --> 00:06:07,839
Speaker 1: and a lot of people point to his toughness too

121
00:06:07,960 --> 00:06:10,960
Speaker 1: well that that's the thing. I think it hurt his

122
00:06:11,000 --> 00:06:14,120
Speaker 1: team on the field today, his lack of I don't

123
00:06:14,120 --> 00:06:16,600
Speaker 1: know if you want to call it toughness, but his sensitivity.

124
00:06:16,640 --> 00:06:19,360
Speaker 1: They got into his head and he heard his books out.

125
00:06:19,480 --> 00:06:20,880
Speaker 1: He should have been he's the best player on the

126
00:06:20,880 --> 00:06:22,560
Speaker 1: team and he should have been ejected many times so

127
00:06:22,600 --> 00:06:24,960
Speaker 1: that would have heard his team even more. He dropped

128
00:06:25,520 --> 00:06:27,960
Speaker 1: an easy touchdown in the first half, dropped another pass,

129
00:06:28,000 --> 00:06:30,440
Speaker 1: and he was not act like Josh Norman shut him

130
00:06:30,480 --> 00:06:33,040
Speaker 1: down as I saw on Twitter for most of the day.

131
00:06:33,200 --> 00:06:35,279
Speaker 1: Even when he was had no catches in the first half,

132
00:06:35,279 --> 00:06:38,159
Speaker 1: he was getting open. It should have had a long touch. Also,

133
00:06:38,200 --> 00:06:40,400
Speaker 1: wasn't against Josh Norman most of the day, and most

134
00:06:40,440 --> 00:06:42,400
Speaker 1: of his catches were from the slot. He plays a

135
00:06:42,400 --> 00:06:43,760
Speaker 1: lot from the slot. I don't know if this was

136
00:06:43,800 --> 00:06:46,520
Speaker 1: more than usual, but Courtland Finn again and the safety

137
00:06:46,520 --> 00:06:48,120
Speaker 1: were on him a lot of this. This game was

138
00:06:48,200 --> 00:06:52,440
Speaker 1: thirty five to seven. It is outrageous what happened. This

139
00:06:52,520 --> 00:06:54,760
Speaker 1: is against the team, and you got to give the

140
00:06:54,760 --> 00:06:57,360
Speaker 1: Giants credit for battling back in this game. They another

141
00:06:57,440 --> 00:06:59,880
Speaker 1: heartbreaking loss for them is how it ends up. But

142
00:07:00,000 --> 00:07:02,160
Speaker 1: to come back against a team that's thirteen and oh

143
00:07:02,600 --> 00:07:05,400
Speaker 1: tie it up. But then that's why and I agree. Now,

144
00:07:05,440 --> 00:07:07,480
Speaker 1: Newton to me is the clear cut favorite for m

145
00:07:07,560 --> 00:07:10,720
Speaker 1: v P that he you know, once the game was tied,

146
00:07:10,760 --> 00:07:12,560
Speaker 1: it could have gotten away with him. He just led

147
00:07:12,600 --> 00:07:15,200
Speaker 1: him coolly right down the field and they win the game. Yeah,

148
00:07:15,240 --> 00:07:18,360
Speaker 1: I mean that that was absolutely like a signature moment

149
00:07:18,400 --> 00:07:21,400
Speaker 1: from Cam in a season where he's had forty signature moments.

150
00:07:21,400 --> 00:07:24,120
Speaker 1: But are you concerned at all about the fact that

151
00:07:24,400 --> 00:07:26,520
Speaker 1: they gave up that twenty eight on answer points? Or

152
00:07:26,640 --> 00:07:28,840
Speaker 1: is that if this you're gonna have to win games

153
00:07:28,880 --> 00:07:31,000
Speaker 1: so many different ways. And we look past it and

154
00:07:31,000 --> 00:07:32,720
Speaker 1: they moved right on in the playoffs. They're the best

155
00:07:32,760 --> 00:07:34,800
Speaker 1: team in the NFC. Aren't we picking knits on an

156
00:07:34,840 --> 00:07:37,320
Speaker 1: undefeated team? No? I think so. I am not that

157
00:07:37,360 --> 00:07:40,320
Speaker 1: concerned about it. I think each game has its own momentum,

158
00:07:40,640 --> 00:07:42,320
Speaker 1: and when you get a big lead like that, there's

159
00:07:42,320 --> 00:07:44,040
Speaker 1: always a danger. Well, and it was a fluke a

160
00:07:44,080 --> 00:07:46,320
Speaker 1: blocked field goal. The game's over if it wasn't for

161
00:07:46,520 --> 00:07:49,480
Speaker 1: a block field goal. There's another play that I'm forgetting

162
00:07:49,520 --> 00:07:51,320
Speaker 1: by the Giants that was that was a little flukey

163
00:07:51,360 --> 00:07:52,640
Speaker 1: in that comeback, but that's what you need. It was

164
00:07:52,640 --> 00:07:55,400
Speaker 1: thirty seven late in the third. It wasn't like this

165
00:07:55,480 --> 00:07:57,840
Speaker 1: was a comeback that started in the first half. It's

166
00:07:57,880 --> 00:08:00,040
Speaker 1: crazy how fast this all happen. I will say the

167
00:08:00,280 --> 00:08:02,400
Speaker 1: Panthers have done this three times this season, where they

168
00:08:02,400 --> 00:08:04,800
Speaker 1: gave up huge leads in the Colts game, in the

169
00:08:04,840 --> 00:08:07,320
Speaker 1: week before the Colts game, and now this one. So

170
00:08:07,400 --> 00:08:09,320
Speaker 1: it's something in the playoffs. You would think that's gonna

171
00:08:09,360 --> 00:08:11,239
Speaker 1: be on their mind if they get a big lead,

172
00:08:11,480 --> 00:08:13,080
Speaker 1: that they got to keep the foot on the gas.

173
00:08:13,160 --> 00:08:15,560
Speaker 1: But Newton wins the m v P, especially on a

174
00:08:15,600 --> 00:08:18,240
Speaker 1: day where they couldn't run the ball but he could

175
00:08:18,280 --> 00:08:21,840
Speaker 1: a hundred yards rushing. No Jonathan Stewart really hurt them.

176
00:08:21,960 --> 00:08:25,560
Speaker 1: The Panthers are probably gonna go sixteen. Yeah, it's it's

177
00:08:25,600 --> 00:08:29,119
Speaker 1: pretty remarkable what's happening here. This is it's historic, and

178
00:08:29,400 --> 00:08:31,840
Speaker 1: I don't think anybody saw it coming, even the Panthers

179
00:08:31,920 --> 00:08:34,839
Speaker 1: fans that chirp, you know, coming after me, and poor

180
00:08:34,960 --> 00:08:37,439
Speaker 1: Connors changed his mind and picked against the Panthers again

181
00:08:37,800 --> 00:08:40,800
Speaker 1: at the last moment, you know, I mean, you know

182
00:08:41,080 --> 00:08:44,040
Speaker 1: this is nobody expected this to happen. So the Panthers

183
00:08:44,480 --> 00:08:49,280
Speaker 1: are two games away from joining some historic company. We

184
00:08:49,440 --> 00:08:52,280
Speaker 1: move on to the Denver Broncos. Who can I say

185
00:08:52,280 --> 00:08:54,800
Speaker 1: one last thing. We had a lot of people on

186
00:08:54,840 --> 00:08:57,720
Speaker 1: Twitter asked if this was La ra Vio Magnifico about

187
00:08:57,720 --> 00:09:00,680
Speaker 1: who o Doll Beckham is. I lean more towards He's

188
00:09:00,679 --> 00:09:04,440
Speaker 1: an immature kid, seems to be pretty spoiled. He's had

189
00:09:04,480 --> 00:09:07,199
Speaker 1: everything go his way throughout life. He has to use

190
00:09:07,240 --> 00:09:09,440
Speaker 1: this as an opportunity to grow as a person and

191
00:09:09,480 --> 00:09:12,360
Speaker 1: reflect on why he acted that. But I don't think

192
00:09:12,360 --> 00:09:16,640
Speaker 1: it's like some character flaw. So West says No. Two.

193
00:09:21,559 --> 00:09:24,679
Speaker 1: And from what we under what we've heard after the game,

194
00:09:24,720 --> 00:09:27,000
Speaker 1: it didn't sound like he was totally contriked yet. So

195
00:09:27,040 --> 00:09:29,640
Speaker 1: he's got to figure some stuff out. He's a very

196
00:09:29,679 --> 00:09:32,880
Speaker 1: young man. Yeah, he's a tremendously talented player, but he's

197
00:09:32,920 --> 00:09:34,840
Speaker 1: got some he's got a way to go. He's got

198
00:09:34,840 --> 00:09:36,840
Speaker 1: to go up right, Mark, Yeah, he does. But I

199
00:09:36,840 --> 00:09:39,160
Speaker 1: mean I agree with West that when you're if people

200
00:09:39,160 --> 00:09:41,400
Speaker 1: were interviewing me and I was show voting around when

201
00:09:41,400 --> 00:09:43,840
Speaker 1: I was twenty two, I probably have a few fixes

202
00:09:43,880 --> 00:09:45,959
Speaker 1: as well. So he's very talented. He's been told he's

203
00:09:45,960 --> 00:09:48,760
Speaker 1: a god for about eighteen straight months, and it's not

204
00:09:48,880 --> 00:09:51,840
Speaker 1: unlike anything in our lives, so we can't exactly Alright,

205
00:09:51,840 --> 00:09:54,560
Speaker 1: moving on, let's talk about the Denver Broncos, who built

206
00:09:54,800 --> 00:09:58,160
Speaker 1: an eighteen point lead against the Steelers and then they

207
00:09:58,160 --> 00:10:01,400
Speaker 1: watched it all slip away. Antonio brown fourth quarter touchdown,

208
00:10:01,679 --> 00:10:04,000
Speaker 1: one of sixteen catches on the day, was a difference

209
00:10:04,200 --> 00:10:07,800
Speaker 1: a thirty four seven comeback win for the Steelers at

210
00:10:07,840 --> 00:10:11,760
Speaker 1: hines Field West. The Steelers almost ruined their season on Sunday,

211
00:10:11,800 --> 00:10:13,800
Speaker 1: but in the end, they retained the look of the

212
00:10:13,840 --> 00:10:16,200
Speaker 1: a f c's most dangerous team. I think they are

213
00:10:16,200 --> 00:10:18,800
Speaker 1: the most dangerous team. Nobody wants to face the Steelers

214
00:10:18,800 --> 00:10:21,880
Speaker 1: in January because I think you know you can point

215
00:10:21,920 --> 00:10:24,440
Speaker 1: to the Seahawks for the Panthers. I think the Feelers

216
00:10:24,520 --> 00:10:27,400
Speaker 1: are the hottest offense in the league right now. Nobody's

217
00:10:27,400 --> 00:10:31,360
Speaker 1: stopping that wide receiver Trio and Chris Harris had been

218
00:10:31,600 --> 00:10:35,040
Speaker 1: one of the best cornerbacks in the league. Really specializes

219
00:10:35,080 --> 00:10:38,720
Speaker 1: in stopping smaller, quicker wide receivers like Antonio Brown, and

220
00:10:38,760 --> 00:10:40,560
Speaker 1: Brown had one of the best days of his career

221
00:10:40,960 --> 00:10:45,880
Speaker 1: against Chris Harris. You cannot single cover him. And it

222
00:10:46,000 --> 00:10:48,520
Speaker 1: was a game where you had the league's best wide

223
00:10:48,520 --> 00:10:52,360
Speaker 1: receiver Corps going against arguably the best cornerback, Trio, and

224
00:10:52,360 --> 00:10:55,040
Speaker 1: it lived up to the billing Chris Harris fought hard,

225
00:10:55,040 --> 00:10:58,720
Speaker 1: but Antonio Brown just Unstan. That's Griff Whalen and Connor

226
00:10:58,760 --> 00:11:01,800
Speaker 1: Madden World production. And yeah, man, Tonio Brown, I mean

227
00:11:02,200 --> 00:11:06,080
Speaker 1: this is that that's Madden production. And I mean when

228
00:11:06,120 --> 00:11:08,040
Speaker 1: you look at his can you even imagine if Ben

229
00:11:08,440 --> 00:11:13,920
Speaker 1: Roethlisberger never got hurt this season any closing on two

230
00:11:13,920 --> 00:11:16,960
Speaker 1: thousand yards and you might have a little competition for

231
00:11:17,040 --> 00:11:19,640
Speaker 1: Cam in the m v P with Ben Roethlisberger, who's

232
00:11:19,640 --> 00:11:21,719
Speaker 1: throwing the ball as well as anybody this year. I

233
00:11:21,720 --> 00:11:24,080
Speaker 1: would like to look at wide receiver seasons like this

234
00:11:24,120 --> 00:11:26,440
Speaker 1: and talk about it more as a duo than it

235
00:11:26,559 --> 00:11:29,000
Speaker 1: is just their own production. He's easily one of the

236
00:11:29,000 --> 00:11:31,280
Speaker 1: best that we've seen in a long time. But he

237
00:11:31,360 --> 00:11:33,600
Speaker 1: wasn't this guy when Big Ben wasn't in the lineup.

238
00:11:33,640 --> 00:11:35,920
Speaker 1: And I really think that Pittsburgh, after all the years,

239
00:11:35,920 --> 00:11:38,880
Speaker 1: with the consistency at quarterback and in the building up

240
00:11:38,920 --> 00:11:41,360
Speaker 1: of the weapons around Big Ben, that you're exactly right.

241
00:11:41,360 --> 00:11:43,320
Speaker 1: We've been saying it for weeks. If you have to

242
00:11:43,400 --> 00:11:45,840
Speaker 1: deal with Pittsburgh early in the playoffs, if they sneak

243
00:11:45,840 --> 00:11:48,440
Speaker 1: into this thing, that is going to be a train wreck.

244
00:11:48,520 --> 00:11:50,520
Speaker 1: If you're one of the top seeded teams. This is

245
00:11:50,559 --> 00:11:52,800
Speaker 1: not a fifth or sixth best team in the a

246
00:11:52,920 --> 00:11:54,920
Speaker 1: f C. Yeah. By the way, Ben put up the

247
00:11:54,960 --> 00:11:57,800
Speaker 1: same numbers against the Seahawks a few weeks ago too.

248
00:11:57,880 --> 00:12:01,200
Speaker 1: I mean, he's joined this against respected defenses. He can

249
00:12:01,280 --> 00:12:03,319
Speaker 1: put forty points on any team in the playoffs. So

250
00:12:03,360 --> 00:12:06,440
Speaker 1: this score was seven to ten late in the third quarter.

251
00:12:07,240 --> 00:12:10,120
Speaker 1: What what was it West you think that made this

252
00:12:10,200 --> 00:12:13,920
Speaker 1: comeback happen? I mean, was it Denver's offense? What? Like?

253
00:12:14,040 --> 00:12:16,080
Speaker 1: What what does it take to beat that defense? Because

254
00:12:16,120 --> 00:12:18,760
Speaker 1: as great as this Broncos defenses, this is one of

255
00:12:18,760 --> 00:12:20,840
Speaker 1: the performances of the year by any team to score

256
00:12:20,920 --> 00:12:23,120
Speaker 1: thirty four. And yeah, I think we all hesitate to

257
00:12:23,280 --> 00:12:26,400
Speaker 1: point to halftime adjustments, but the Steelers had blown so

258
00:12:26,440 --> 00:12:29,439
Speaker 1: many coverages and assignments on defense in the first half,

259
00:12:29,840 --> 00:12:33,439
Speaker 1: and they got that fixed at halftime, and then they

260
00:12:33,440 --> 00:12:36,440
Speaker 1: gave the Broncos six straight punts to open up the

261
00:12:36,480 --> 00:12:40,200
Speaker 1: second half. Oswaller had a non throwing shoulder injury, which

262
00:12:40,240 --> 00:12:43,120
Speaker 1: may have been a factor, But basically, the Steelers started,

263
00:12:43,240 --> 00:12:46,000
Speaker 1: you know, communicating on defense and stop blowing their assignments,

264
00:12:46,200 --> 00:12:48,839
Speaker 1: and the Broncos didn't adjust. While that was going on

265
00:12:49,320 --> 00:12:52,280
Speaker 1: Steeler's offense. Ran What that's the thing about the Steelers.

266
00:12:52,320 --> 00:12:55,680
Speaker 1: If if you had a peeking Patriots or one of

267
00:12:55,679 --> 00:12:58,640
Speaker 1: these NFC teams that has a powerhouse offense, you feel

268
00:12:58,679 --> 00:13:00,719
Speaker 1: like you can score on the steel They didn't have

269
00:13:01,120 --> 00:13:03,120
Speaker 1: some pass rush in the first half. You give up

270
00:13:03,120 --> 00:13:05,439
Speaker 1: that many points to Brock Osweiler who's just going through

271
00:13:05,480 --> 00:13:08,559
Speaker 1: one read and basically throwing it. Yeah, then that's not

272
00:13:08,600 --> 00:13:10,000
Speaker 1: a good sign for your Devons. But right now the

273
00:13:10,000 --> 00:13:12,920
Speaker 1: AFC doesn't really have a juggernaut offense with the Patriots

274
00:13:12,920 --> 00:13:16,520
Speaker 1: not playing like the ext for Pittsburgh. Here's Osweiler's numbers

275
00:13:16,520 --> 00:13:19,080
Speaker 1: in this game. It was the tale of two quarterbacks.

276
00:13:19,080 --> 00:13:21,760
Speaker 1: Fourteen of eighteen for to eighteen and three touches in

277
00:13:21,800 --> 00:13:25,320
Speaker 1: the first half. Second half seven of twenty two for

278
00:13:25,400 --> 00:13:29,240
Speaker 1: eighty two yards in an interception. And you know, as

279
00:13:29,280 --> 00:13:31,480
Speaker 1: you know the Jets fan, I think the listeners know that.

280
00:13:31,520 --> 00:13:33,720
Speaker 1: I think you guys know that this was a game

281
00:13:33,760 --> 00:13:35,960
Speaker 1: the Jets needed because the way things are breaking it

282
00:13:36,000 --> 00:13:40,480
Speaker 1: with the Steelers, Jets and Chiefs, somebody's gotta lose. Lose

283
00:13:40,520 --> 00:13:43,120
Speaker 1: for the Jets again. And I thought this was money

284
00:13:43,200 --> 00:13:47,000
Speaker 1: in the bank. Ten and brock Oswalder looking like a guy.

285
00:13:47,000 --> 00:13:49,360
Speaker 1: It's never gonna leave the starting lineup. So I have

286
00:13:49,480 --> 00:13:51,480
Speaker 1: to do something, and I did not want to do. Guys,

287
00:13:51,720 --> 00:13:55,920
Speaker 1: whoa what is that? Stick a fork in them? That

288
00:13:55,920 --> 00:14:00,319
Speaker 1: would be it's way more serious. I declare vengeance on

289
00:14:00,440 --> 00:14:04,520
Speaker 1: brock Oswiler, you uder the player, vengeance on the Colts.

290
00:14:08,400 --> 00:14:12,000
Speaker 1: You're gonna ask me, please, why would you suggest that

291
00:14:12,080 --> 00:14:15,800
Speaker 1: this needs to be done? Or what does it mean? Yeah,

292
00:14:15,840 --> 00:14:18,640
Speaker 1: we've got a lot of questions about this. I don't know,

293
00:14:18,840 --> 00:14:21,760
Speaker 1: but all I can tell you is this, I declare

294
00:14:21,960 --> 00:14:25,560
Speaker 1: vengeance on brock os Widler. You let me down in

295
00:14:25,640 --> 00:14:28,600
Speaker 1: a big spot. I will not forget it. But maybe

296
00:14:28,840 --> 00:14:31,600
Speaker 1: when this whole story is said and done, what if

297
00:14:31,640 --> 00:14:34,920
Speaker 1: it's Denver who gets bumped out of the playoff with

298
00:14:34,960 --> 00:14:37,600
Speaker 1: your Jets taking That would be that is the most

299
00:14:37,760 --> 00:14:40,720
Speaker 1: likely way for the Jets, I think to get into

300
00:14:40,760 --> 00:14:44,160
Speaker 1: the playoffs without a loss, is that the Broncos lose

301
00:14:44,280 --> 00:14:47,760
Speaker 1: to Denver, I mean, lose two Cincinnati next week and

302
00:14:47,760 --> 00:14:51,360
Speaker 1: they're not you know, that's certainly possible, and all the

303
00:14:51,400 --> 00:14:55,320
Speaker 1: teams went out and the Jets then win a tiebreak

304
00:14:55,400 --> 00:14:59,480
Speaker 1: over the Broncos for the sixth spot and Denver's out

305
00:14:59,480 --> 00:15:03,560
Speaker 1: of there are our boss downstairs, John Marvel. Big Broncos

306
00:15:03,800 --> 00:15:06,560
Speaker 1: can't even imagine if they free fall from the number

307
00:15:06,560 --> 00:15:12,000
Speaker 1: one seeds out of the tournament as fans at eleven

308
00:15:12,040 --> 00:15:14,160
Speaker 1: and five too, that would be that would be heartbreaking

309
00:15:14,200 --> 00:15:17,200
Speaker 1: for the Broncos. And it's not like crazy things need

310
00:15:17,280 --> 00:15:19,600
Speaker 1: to happen in this scenario. Denver can win their Week

311
00:15:19,720 --> 00:15:23,040
Speaker 1: seventeen game, lose to Cincinnati and if the Jets and

312
00:15:23,080 --> 00:15:25,360
Speaker 1: everyone wins out, they would be out of luck. I

313
00:15:25,360 --> 00:15:27,400
Speaker 1: think the Jets, you know, toughest spot is really you

314
00:15:27,560 --> 00:15:30,200
Speaker 1: do have two tough games. Yeah, well, there's nothing to

315
00:15:30,240 --> 00:15:33,000
Speaker 1: assume with the Jets, but um, you hear the glee

316
00:15:33,000 --> 00:15:35,880
Speaker 1: and Gregg's voice when he starts digging in on those tiebreakers. Well,

317
00:15:35,920 --> 00:15:39,360
Speaker 1: this is I'm still necessary. I know you got this.

318
00:15:39,360 --> 00:15:41,760
Speaker 1: This is a good spot. By the way, how about

319
00:15:41,800 --> 00:15:44,400
Speaker 1: taking your vengeance out on Vernon Davis and Damarius Thomas

320
00:15:44,440 --> 00:15:48,840
Speaker 1: who keep dropping in very big moments. Vernon Davis, Uh,

321
00:15:49,200 --> 00:15:51,080
Speaker 1: this is not a good contract a year for Vernon

322
00:15:51,160 --> 00:15:54,000
Speaker 1: Davis back to back weeks where you might have cost

323
00:15:54,040 --> 00:15:56,360
Speaker 1: his team the game in both weeks. To make that argument,

324
00:15:56,360 --> 00:15:59,560
Speaker 1: that's built around the idea of a dominant Peyton Manning,

325
00:16:00,080 --> 00:16:02,280
Speaker 1: you know, taking this team deep into January. You make

326
00:16:02,280 --> 00:16:04,920
Speaker 1: the quarterback switch. It is a coin flip. And in

327
00:16:05,000 --> 00:16:07,160
Speaker 1: the best of worlds that Oswyler can come in and

328
00:16:07,160 --> 00:16:09,720
Speaker 1: just keep him rolling. And he is a young quarterback

329
00:16:09,800 --> 00:16:12,040
Speaker 1: learning in a tough place to play in Pittsburgh. That

330
00:16:12,200 --> 00:16:14,720
Speaker 1: is not easy to do well. You also, you do

331
00:16:14,880 --> 00:16:17,160
Speaker 1: figure with that defense, they would have taken that scenario

332
00:16:17,200 --> 00:16:19,080
Speaker 1: that their defense and closed out that game. That's their

333
00:16:19,080 --> 00:16:21,160
Speaker 1: signature side of the ball not being able to close it.

334
00:16:21,240 --> 00:16:23,760
Speaker 1: And we thought brock Oswellder was helping the running game

335
00:16:23,800 --> 00:16:26,280
Speaker 1: a lot, and yet last week that was not the case.

336
00:16:26,560 --> 00:16:28,640
Speaker 1: This week c J. Anderson was hurt again or what

337
00:16:28,760 --> 00:16:30,720
Speaker 1: was not really on the field almost at all. Ronnie

338
00:16:30,760 --> 00:16:33,520
Speaker 1: Hillman didn't do much of anything. They're not running the ball. Well,

339
00:16:33,840 --> 00:16:35,640
Speaker 1: all right, let's so let's move on. There's more to

340
00:16:35,680 --> 00:16:37,640
Speaker 1: talk about the n f C playoff picture. Greg. He

341
00:16:37,640 --> 00:16:40,120
Speaker 1: could keep on digging in and what's going on right now,

342
00:16:40,160 --> 00:16:42,400
Speaker 1: because let's talk about the Kansas City Chiefs, who have

343
00:16:42,480 --> 00:16:47,080
Speaker 1: now won eight consecutive games after taking care of business

344
00:16:47,120 --> 00:16:50,360
Speaker 1: a thirty four or fourteen win over the decimated Ravens

345
00:16:50,360 --> 00:16:52,880
Speaker 1: in Baltimore. Casey clinch of the game on a ninety

346
00:16:52,960 --> 00:16:56,160
Speaker 1: yard pick six uh late in the game, their league

347
00:16:56,240 --> 00:17:00,360
Speaker 1: leading six defensive touchdown of the year. Kansas City nine

348
00:17:00,400 --> 00:17:03,320
Speaker 1: and five, they are owner of it? Is it the

349
00:17:03,320 --> 00:17:05,639
Speaker 1: fifth seed right right now? Right now they are in

350
00:17:05,680 --> 00:17:10,160
Speaker 1: the fifth seed. Um they are you know, within striking

351
00:17:10,200 --> 00:17:13,120
Speaker 1: distance now of the Broncos. So you can start talking

352
00:17:13,160 --> 00:17:15,600
Speaker 1: about that division. Is is something that's a little wide open.

353
00:17:16,359 --> 00:17:19,280
Speaker 1: But most importantly for Kansas City team that hasn't had

354
00:17:19,560 --> 00:17:22,199
Speaker 1: a playoffs success in many years, they are now in

355
00:17:22,320 --> 00:17:24,960
Speaker 1: really good position with a soft schedule to close this

356
00:17:25,040 --> 00:17:27,280
Speaker 1: out and maybe even go into the playoffs on a

357
00:17:27,359 --> 00:17:31,160
Speaker 1: ten game winning streak. Who saw that coming West other

358
00:17:31,200 --> 00:17:35,160
Speaker 1: than West I did not, So no one saw that coming.

359
00:17:35,840 --> 00:17:38,399
Speaker 1: It's one thing for I'm trying to think of what

360
00:17:38,480 --> 00:17:40,200
Speaker 1: are the chances of the Chief win that to win

361
00:17:40,280 --> 00:17:47,480
Speaker 1: this division, it's got to be close to essentially, it's

362
00:17:47,520 --> 00:17:49,119
Speaker 1: got to be a little less than fifty. Because you

363
00:17:49,119 --> 00:17:52,119
Speaker 1: give the Broncos at least a fifty fifty chance of

364
00:17:52,200 --> 00:17:55,240
Speaker 1: winning next week against Cincinnati and then bron Kansas City

365
00:17:55,280 --> 00:17:57,520
Speaker 1: would have to take care of business. Broncos defense played

366
00:17:57,560 --> 00:17:59,520
Speaker 1: really well in the first half today. It's one thing

367
00:17:59,560 --> 00:18:03,359
Speaker 1: for Ben Roethlisberger to kind of shred them as an

368
00:18:03,359 --> 00:18:05,800
Speaker 1: experienced quarterback plane at home. It's another for a J

369
00:18:05,960 --> 00:18:09,320
Speaker 1: mccaren to go into Denver and beat them. I don't

370
00:18:09,359 --> 00:18:12,320
Speaker 1: know that defense is really good. Andy Reid's one of

371
00:18:12,480 --> 00:18:14,199
Speaker 1: one of the best coaches in the NFL, and no

372
00:18:14,240 --> 00:18:17,119
Speaker 1: one will ever likes calling him that because he's you know,

373
00:18:17,119 --> 00:18:18,879
Speaker 1: I thought you didn't like calling him that. No, I've

374
00:18:18,920 --> 00:18:20,960
Speaker 1: always been an Andy readon, not not in terms of

375
00:18:20,960 --> 00:18:22,960
Speaker 1: game management or anything, but that he's one of the

376
00:18:23,000 --> 00:18:26,000
Speaker 1: coaches that I think has proven over the time, over

377
00:18:26,040 --> 00:18:28,360
Speaker 1: time that he's gonna win more games than he lose,

378
00:18:28,359 --> 00:18:30,560
Speaker 1: he's gonna help your team win games, that your team

379
00:18:30,600 --> 00:18:32,520
Speaker 1: is better with Andy Reidon. There's not There's only so

380
00:18:32,560 --> 00:18:34,720
Speaker 1: many coaches that's true about. Yeah. I mean, I think

381
00:18:34,720 --> 00:18:37,359
Speaker 1: probably around the horn here, none of us look at

382
00:18:37,400 --> 00:18:39,480
Speaker 1: the Chiefs and love the way they're built. If you

383
00:18:39,520 --> 00:18:42,639
Speaker 1: really wanted to root for a team in today's version

384
00:18:42,640 --> 00:18:45,200
Speaker 1: of the NFL, Alex Smith is who he is. But

385
00:18:45,280 --> 00:18:49,320
Speaker 1: bottom line, I mean, what they've done is pretty much unprecedented.

386
00:18:49,320 --> 00:18:51,520
Speaker 1: Teams don't do this with the way they are built

387
00:18:51,760 --> 00:18:53,640
Speaker 1: and Kansas City right now they go and they play

388
00:18:53,720 --> 00:18:56,960
Speaker 1: Cleveland next week. That's pretty much a guaranteed victory. They've

389
00:18:56,960 --> 00:18:59,720
Speaker 1: almost earned a playoff spot at this point. And I

390
00:18:59,760 --> 00:19:05,159
Speaker 1: don't one thing. I'll say excited. I've watched both the

391
00:19:05,280 --> 00:19:08,440
Speaker 1: last two weeks. I watched these games and the Chargers

392
00:19:08,840 --> 00:19:11,120
Speaker 1: they barely hung on to beat the Chargers ten three

393
00:19:11,119 --> 00:19:15,119
Speaker 1: win Chargers at the goal line. Um uh, Mike McCoy

394
00:19:15,119 --> 00:19:16,800
Speaker 1: would have went for two if they would have scored two,

395
00:19:16,800 --> 00:19:18,920
Speaker 1: he said later that was a bummer. And then this week,

396
00:19:18,960 --> 00:19:21,239
Speaker 1: if you watch this game, guys, you will see that

397
00:19:21,280 --> 00:19:25,320
Speaker 1: despite the final score, this game was not a mismatched team.

398
00:19:25,359 --> 00:19:27,520
Speaker 1: This is the Ravens. Hanging with him. There was the

399
00:19:27,520 --> 00:19:31,840
Speaker 1: total yards side Ravens out gained them by. What happened

400
00:19:31,840 --> 00:19:34,240
Speaker 1: was the Ravens because they've been hit by so many injuries.

401
00:19:34,280 --> 00:19:36,760
Speaker 1: They're a bad team this year. Because of that, they

402
00:19:36,800 --> 00:19:39,800
Speaker 1: made some crucial mistakes and because the Chiefs have been

403
00:19:39,800 --> 00:19:43,119
Speaker 1: so opportunistic this season, they banged them every time and

404
00:19:43,200 --> 00:19:46,720
Speaker 1: that led to the different differential and scoring. But the

405
00:19:46,760 --> 00:19:49,240
Speaker 1: Chiefs aren't playing lights out football the last two weeks.

406
00:19:49,240 --> 00:19:51,399
Speaker 1: And I am even I know Mark you said that

407
00:19:51,520 --> 00:19:54,000
Speaker 1: because the Browns are terrible. We know that. I don't

408
00:19:54,119 --> 00:19:56,280
Speaker 1: look past the Browns the Chiefs. Can you get picked

409
00:19:56,320 --> 00:19:58,359
Speaker 1: off either of these last two weeks? Well, all right,

410
00:19:58,359 --> 00:20:00,320
Speaker 1: I don't look past the Browns, but the chief are

411
00:20:00,359 --> 00:20:04,959
Speaker 1: also taking care of business. And I mean Baltimore. Baltimore, like,

412
00:20:05,160 --> 00:20:08,240
Speaker 1: despite their record, is another very well coached team. I

413
00:20:08,280 --> 00:20:11,160
Speaker 1: know it's they with all the injuries. John Harbaugh has

414
00:20:11,200 --> 00:20:13,399
Speaker 1: done an excellent job this season, even though the record does.

415
00:20:14,000 --> 00:20:17,320
Speaker 1: I'll tell you one thing about John Harbaugh. John come

416
00:20:17,359 --> 00:20:20,439
Speaker 1: back to us fourth and nine on your own sevent

417
00:20:20,440 --> 00:20:26,639
Speaker 1: team and you call fake punt run. He's operating with

418
00:20:26,680 --> 00:20:28,680
Speaker 1: a JV team right now. And I know you're wearing

419
00:20:28,800 --> 00:20:31,160
Speaker 1: yellow pants, mustard yellow pants. It's like, I don't even

420
00:20:31,200 --> 00:20:33,359
Speaker 1: know what's going on in Baltimore right now. They're just

421
00:20:33,400 --> 00:20:35,320
Speaker 1: like saying, what the hell and just you know, pretending

422
00:20:35,359 --> 00:20:37,800
Speaker 1: like it's a preseason game. What is up with the pants?

423
00:20:37,840 --> 00:20:39,919
Speaker 1: I don't know until after the game. And I you know,

424
00:20:40,000 --> 00:20:43,960
Speaker 1: listen to Baltimore's uniforms has never been the worst issue,

425
00:20:43,960 --> 00:20:46,960
Speaker 1: but he became one today. Who's the best team the

426
00:20:47,040 --> 00:20:50,840
Speaker 1: Chiefs have beaten on the street. That's a great question,

427
00:20:51,040 --> 00:20:52,800
Speaker 1: beat them or who's the second best team? They're not

428
00:20:53,600 --> 00:20:56,840
Speaker 1: Pittsburgh and Landry. Yeah, Pittsburgh with Landry Jones is not

429
00:20:56,880 --> 00:21:00,080
Speaker 1: a good team. But that is a fair point. But

430
00:21:00,160 --> 00:21:03,680
Speaker 1: to go just reel off wins, that's abusive. I don't

431
00:21:03,680 --> 00:21:05,800
Speaker 1: want to take it. I'm thinking more about who am

432
00:21:05,840 --> 00:21:09,320
Speaker 1: I going to pick once the playoff? Nothing against Denver.

433
00:21:09,680 --> 00:21:13,000
Speaker 1: Granted that was Peyton Manning's you know, after game, but

434
00:21:13,040 --> 00:21:20,680
Speaker 1: that's a pretty performance. These are their wins, Steelers, Lions, Broncos, Chargers, Bills, Raiders, Chargers, Ravens. Well,

435
00:21:20,680 --> 00:21:24,600
Speaker 1: that's not taking care of business, but it would be

436
00:21:24,640 --> 00:21:28,000
Speaker 1: if they ever bumped Pittsburgh. Let's some tiebreaker scenario where

437
00:21:28,000 --> 00:21:30,080
Speaker 1: we get the Chiefs instead of Pittsburgh. I think that

438
00:21:30,080 --> 00:21:33,639
Speaker 1: that's disappointing. Well, we could get Pittsburgh at Kansas City,

439
00:21:34,040 --> 00:21:39,080
Speaker 1: very possible revenge game. Alright, so the Steelers win, the

440
00:21:39,200 --> 00:21:42,720
Speaker 1: Chiefs win. Let's now go back to Saturday night, where

441
00:21:42,760 --> 00:21:47,480
Speaker 1: the Jets flirted with disaster throughout their matchup against the Cowboys,

442
00:21:47,520 --> 00:21:50,520
Speaker 1: but a forty yard field goal from Randy Bullock was

443
00:21:50,560 --> 00:21:53,840
Speaker 1: the difference in nineteen sixteen win at Jarro World for

444
00:21:54,000 --> 00:21:57,920
Speaker 1: the Jets. Ryan Fitzpatrick led Gang Graint to ten points

445
00:21:57,920 --> 00:22:01,400
Speaker 1: in the in his final two possessions, salvaging a day

446
00:22:01,400 --> 00:22:03,360
Speaker 1: for the Jets where they seemed to be going into

447
00:22:03,440 --> 00:22:07,000
Speaker 1: same same old Jets mode and Fits magic. That's the

448
00:22:07,040 --> 00:22:08,840
Speaker 1: only reason they won this game. He woke up, the

449
00:22:08,880 --> 00:22:12,160
Speaker 1: offense woke up, and they took care of business despite

450
00:22:12,160 --> 00:22:14,600
Speaker 1: the win. And Greg, I don't I can say this.

451
00:22:15,280 --> 00:22:18,640
Speaker 1: The Jets win Saturday night for the fourth straight week,

452
00:22:18,960 --> 00:22:21,679
Speaker 1: but then we'll wake up Monday morning out of the

453
00:22:21,720 --> 00:22:24,080
Speaker 1: playoffs because of the two wins that I that we

454
00:22:24,200 --> 00:22:26,760
Speaker 1: just talked about. So the Jets nine and five outside

455
00:22:26,800 --> 00:22:29,280
Speaker 1: looking in, but they are lucky to be nine and

456
00:22:29,359 --> 00:22:31,840
Speaker 1: five because this game nearly got away with him. Wes

457
00:22:32,000 --> 00:22:36,320
Speaker 1: you um, you wrote this game up for NFL dot com.

458
00:22:36,600 --> 00:22:39,040
Speaker 1: Jets did flirt with disaster, didn't there. They didn't look

459
00:22:39,040 --> 00:22:41,440
Speaker 1: like a playoff team when they were committing penalties, making

460
00:22:41,480 --> 00:22:45,200
Speaker 1: special teams mistakes. Both lines are getting pushed around by

461
00:22:45,240 --> 00:22:49,240
Speaker 1: Dallas's lines, and they can't stop Kellen Moore with the

462
00:22:49,280 --> 00:22:51,840
Speaker 1: game on the line for a game time field goal drive.

463
00:22:52,600 --> 00:22:54,880
Speaker 1: But they did look like they had a playoff quarterback.

464
00:22:55,760 --> 00:22:57,880
Speaker 1: You have to give run Fitzpatrick credit for coming through

465
00:22:57,880 --> 00:22:59,680
Speaker 1: with the game on the line. He he didn't play

466
00:22:59,720 --> 00:23:02,080
Speaker 1: a great eight three quarters, I would say, and he

467
00:23:02,160 --> 00:23:05,560
Speaker 1: played an absolutely amazing fourth quarter. And it's very similar

468
00:23:05,560 --> 00:23:07,479
Speaker 1: to the game he had against the Giants, where they

469
00:23:07,480 --> 00:23:10,439
Speaker 1: were quiet and when they absolutely needed him, he just

470
00:23:10,520 --> 00:23:13,440
Speaker 1: led them right down the field. They rich to Meeny,

471
00:23:14,040 --> 00:23:17,359
Speaker 1: ESPN's Jet Beat reporter been covering the team forever. He

472
00:23:17,600 --> 00:23:21,000
Speaker 1: made a good point in something he wrote yesterday that

473
00:23:21,119 --> 00:23:22,960
Speaker 1: early in the season, this was an offense that was,

474
00:23:23,280 --> 00:23:26,520
Speaker 1: you know, driving through Chris Ivory. But what's happened, Shan

475
00:23:26,600 --> 00:23:31,399
Speaker 1: gelis he's come to trust Fitzpatrick. He's pended the offense

476
00:23:31,520 --> 00:23:34,600
Speaker 1: to the quarterback and it's Fitzpatrick that's making the plays.

477
00:23:34,680 --> 00:23:37,120
Speaker 1: They you know, Ivory is still you know, a threat

478
00:23:37,160 --> 00:23:38,920
Speaker 1: in the backfield, but he's come down the earth a

479
00:23:38,960 --> 00:23:41,320
Speaker 1: little with that, because that's how teams wins. When the

480
00:23:41,400 --> 00:23:44,240
Speaker 1: quarterbacks jack. I mean, I don't think anybody And just

481
00:23:44,400 --> 00:23:46,400
Speaker 1: like the Panthers fans never could have thought they would

482
00:23:46,400 --> 00:23:49,359
Speaker 1: be fourteen and oh in late December, Jets fans would

483
00:23:49,359 --> 00:23:52,159
Speaker 1: have never thought Fitzpatrick could be anything more than a

484
00:23:52,280 --> 00:23:55,760
Speaker 1: serviceable game manager. But instead he's their best quarterback since

485
00:23:55,840 --> 00:23:57,760
Speaker 1: Chad Pennington in two thousand three. Yeah, and I have

486
00:23:57,880 --> 00:24:01,520
Speaker 1: no problem with New York winning a few games very

487
00:24:01,680 --> 00:24:04,760
Speaker 1: ugly down the stretch, because we've seen that they've hung

488
00:24:04,840 --> 00:24:08,159
Speaker 1: with teams week after week. I really do think that

489
00:24:08,280 --> 00:24:11,280
Speaker 1: they are playoff worthy at this point. Fitzpatrick has been

490
00:24:11,320 --> 00:24:13,360
Speaker 1: playing out of his mind three games in a row,

491
00:24:13,680 --> 00:24:15,920
Speaker 1: and that's usually the knock on the Jets is you're

492
00:24:15,960 --> 00:24:18,120
Speaker 1: gonna get there, but it's gonna be with clunky quarterback

493
00:24:18,200 --> 00:24:20,240
Speaker 1: play and you've got to give. And I know Greg

494
00:24:20,440 --> 00:24:23,359
Speaker 1: earlier in the season Fitzpatrick wasn't maybe hitting it on

495
00:24:23,440 --> 00:24:25,800
Speaker 1: all cylinders in your book, but he is doing what's

496
00:24:25,840 --> 00:24:28,240
Speaker 1: needed right now. And the greatest thing about this game

497
00:24:28,320 --> 00:24:30,840
Speaker 1: that was being on a group text message with Dan

498
00:24:31,240 --> 00:24:33,359
Speaker 1: where the roller coaster and I don't blame you because

499
00:24:33,359 --> 00:24:36,399
Speaker 1: you're the DNA of a Jets fan is expecting the worst.

500
00:24:36,640 --> 00:24:38,840
Speaker 1: But then you've got to be proud of what they did. Yes,

501
00:24:38,920 --> 00:24:41,479
Speaker 1: the tiebreaker thing tonight is not in your court. They

502
00:24:41,640 --> 00:24:44,680
Speaker 1: have a chance that they beat the Patriots to Really, really,

503
00:24:44,840 --> 00:24:46,720
Speaker 1: you're the only guy in the preseason that said they'd

504
00:24:46,760 --> 00:24:49,159
Speaker 1: make the playoffs in this group there, Yes, they I

505
00:24:49,240 --> 00:24:51,280
Speaker 1: thought they would win nine or ten games. Now they're

506
00:24:51,320 --> 00:24:53,280
Speaker 1: at nine. I won sandwiches off it. Greg, we gotta

507
00:24:53,280 --> 00:24:58,880
Speaker 1: talk about your sandwich ram bit. But yeah, but yeah,

508
00:24:59,640 --> 00:25:01,919
Speaker 1: I really I think, I think what the Jets are

509
00:25:02,000 --> 00:25:04,440
Speaker 1: in a position right now. I even wrote about it,

510
00:25:04,720 --> 00:25:07,840
Speaker 1: uh this weekend that the Jets, you know, you always

511
00:25:07,880 --> 00:25:10,160
Speaker 1: think that same old Jets game is right around the corner,

512
00:25:10,240 --> 00:25:13,600
Speaker 1: and this one was perfectly set up and they did

513
00:25:13,680 --> 00:25:16,280
Speaker 1: not let it get away. They let Rex Ryan come

514
00:25:16,280 --> 00:25:18,680
Speaker 1: into their building on Thursday night and pull the same

515
00:25:18,720 --> 00:25:21,360
Speaker 1: old Jets. But this team four or five weeks later

516
00:25:21,800 --> 00:25:23,560
Speaker 1: is winning this type of game and that you feel

517
00:25:23,600 --> 00:25:24,800
Speaker 1: good about that and you like with the coach. I

518
00:25:25,040 --> 00:25:27,680
Speaker 1: thought the biggest moment of the game was Eric Decker

519
00:25:27,800 --> 00:25:31,560
Speaker 1: going down in a heap and right after that, I

520
00:25:31,600 --> 00:25:34,119
Speaker 1: mean any fumble. He lost the fumble, and during that

521
00:25:34,240 --> 00:25:36,800
Speaker 1: commercial break, you and many other Jets fans were saying that,

522
00:25:36,920 --> 00:25:39,920
Speaker 1: you know that I watching Twitter. Maybe you didn't tweet

523
00:25:39,920 --> 00:25:42,640
Speaker 1: at that moment, but the season's over. Eric deckers out.

524
00:25:42,920 --> 00:25:46,160
Speaker 1: They come back from the commercial break. Eric Decker's fine,

525
00:25:46,680 --> 00:25:51,840
Speaker 1: he didn't fumble them. All everything's going the Jets. Two

526
00:25:51,920 --> 00:25:54,919
Speaker 1: plays that play a split second. It was the right

527
00:25:55,000 --> 00:25:57,080
Speaker 1: call when they, I guess stuck with the call that

528
00:25:57,119 --> 00:25:59,320
Speaker 1: he didn't fumble, and then on the game the go

529
00:25:59,480 --> 00:26:03,040
Speaker 1: ahead to our field goal at the end, Fitzpatrick nearly

530
00:26:03,119 --> 00:26:07,080
Speaker 1: fumbled again a split second differential That replay showed that

531
00:26:07,200 --> 00:26:09,720
Speaker 1: he did not fumble. Uh. He fumbled after his knee

532
00:26:09,840 --> 00:26:12,080
Speaker 1: was down. So yeah, Nick, no mistake. The Jets were

533
00:26:12,119 --> 00:26:14,760
Speaker 1: fortunate if they would have lost the t J. Yates

534
00:26:15,119 --> 00:26:20,359
Speaker 1: and Kellen Moore in the same season. I'm out there

535
00:26:20,480 --> 00:26:23,040
Speaker 1: is no bigger Browns fan in the room than Dan Hans.

536
00:26:23,520 --> 00:26:27,200
Speaker 1: The Jets next two games are the Chiefs and the Steelers.

537
00:26:27,480 --> 00:26:30,239
Speaker 1: There are some avenues here, but we need to I'm

538
00:26:30,280 --> 00:26:32,520
Speaker 1: gonna do some coach speak here. You can only worry

539
00:26:32,560 --> 00:26:33,800
Speaker 1: about what's right in front of you. We got the

540
00:26:33,800 --> 00:26:35,960
Speaker 1: Patriots coming up this week. Well, that's a pretty big

541
00:26:36,000 --> 00:26:37,680
Speaker 1: thing in front of you. So exactly do you want

542
00:26:37,800 --> 00:26:40,680
Speaker 1: to notice? When I was writing this recap, the white

543
00:26:40,760 --> 00:26:44,280
Speaker 1: surrender flag going up at the Rosenthal household on Matt

544
00:26:44,359 --> 00:26:50,080
Speaker 1: Castle versus Darren mcfadd and time it was a good

545
00:26:50,200 --> 00:26:53,040
Speaker 1: run for Matt Castle. Seventh round pick who never played

546
00:26:53,040 --> 00:26:55,240
Speaker 1: a lick in college, had a nice career, made a

547
00:26:55,320 --> 00:26:58,479
Speaker 1: lot of money. Uh, one year too long with him

548
00:26:58,520 --> 00:27:00,359
Speaker 1: getting starts. He would have been fine as a second

549
00:27:00,480 --> 00:27:02,920
Speaker 1: or third string. You never saw you have a flagpole

550
00:27:03,040 --> 00:27:05,840
Speaker 1: in your Santa Monica yard. That's news. Yeah we're not.

551
00:27:06,440 --> 00:27:09,879
Speaker 1: That's two common men's religious. But we all we we

552
00:27:09,960 --> 00:27:14,040
Speaker 1: go to Castle every week. Magical too with Matt Castle,

553
00:27:14,080 --> 00:27:17,840
Speaker 1: didn't we never before seen It's new to the football cognisance,

554
00:27:18,640 --> 00:27:22,920
Speaker 1: the intentional grounding interception. Love it. How can the intentional

555
00:27:23,000 --> 00:27:25,000
Speaker 1: grounding if it never hits the ground? There was no

556
00:27:25,520 --> 00:27:28,920
Speaker 1: Dallas receiver within what twenty yards? You always think like

557
00:27:29,040 --> 00:27:31,720
Speaker 1: the official should have picked up the flag because just

558
00:27:31,880 --> 00:27:35,080
Speaker 1: not to embarrass Mattcastle back. It's to turn over anyway.

559
00:27:35,119 --> 00:27:37,040
Speaker 1: We don't have to drop the hammer on it. And

560
00:27:37,080 --> 00:27:38,800
Speaker 1: I'm where Dan was a week ago, which is you

561
00:27:38,840 --> 00:27:41,080
Speaker 1: know what, It's not even fair to make fun of

562
00:27:41,119 --> 00:27:43,359
Speaker 1: Matt Castle at this point because at this point he

563
00:27:43,440 --> 00:27:47,200
Speaker 1: needs to seamlessly shipped into a telemarketing job or something.

564
00:27:47,720 --> 00:27:49,760
Speaker 1: It's done with this, it's over. I don't think he

565
00:27:49,840 --> 00:27:52,200
Speaker 1: needs the money. Well he might need, you never know,

566
00:27:52,640 --> 00:27:56,159
Speaker 1: keep working. Stat from this game, Yes, Adrian Peterson is

567
00:27:56,200 --> 00:27:58,600
Speaker 1: the only running back with more one yard rushing games

568
00:27:58,640 --> 00:28:02,439
Speaker 1: than Darren McFadden, who didn't start until about Halloween. It's

569
00:28:02,520 --> 00:28:05,359
Speaker 1: kind of a weird year for running backs. A lot

570
00:28:05,400 --> 00:28:07,600
Speaker 1: of guys that you wouldn't think are like second in

571
00:28:07,640 --> 00:28:09,240
Speaker 1: the league and rushing third in the league. I don't

572
00:28:09,240 --> 00:28:11,760
Speaker 1: think there's gonna be a like a six yard rusher

573
00:28:11,840 --> 00:28:16,479
Speaker 1: this year's Protest season. But it's Doug Martin, a guy

574
00:28:16,520 --> 00:28:18,280
Speaker 1: who was practically out of the league. It felt like

575
00:28:18,880 --> 00:28:22,240
Speaker 1: two years ago. Alright. Moving on. Meanwhile, on the throne

576
00:28:22,280 --> 00:28:25,400
Speaker 1: of ease. You know how great is life of the Patriots.

577
00:28:26,160 --> 00:28:29,440
Speaker 1: The NFL gave them another bye week Sunday in the

578
00:28:29,520 --> 00:28:32,240
Speaker 1: form of a home match the same team the Jets

579
00:28:32,280 --> 00:28:35,760
Speaker 1: played a week. Don't take it on logic, in the

580
00:28:35,880 --> 00:28:38,680
Speaker 1: form of a home matchup against the lifeless Titans. Tom

581
00:28:38,720 --> 00:28:41,280
Speaker 1: Brady threw two touchdowns, one of them to Gronk in

582
00:28:41,320 --> 00:28:48,600
Speaker 1: New England, trotted on their winning pony Thoroughbred, trotted to

583
00:28:48,680 --> 00:28:52,200
Speaker 1: a thirty three six win. One problem for the Pats, though,

584
00:28:52,600 --> 00:28:56,600
Speaker 1: Greg injuries continue to be an issue. Patrick Chung done

585
00:28:56,640 --> 00:29:00,840
Speaker 1: to high Tower. Who else dannymm and got knocked out

586
00:29:00,880 --> 00:29:04,400
Speaker 1: of this game. I think there's real concern about the

587
00:29:04,640 --> 00:29:07,080
Speaker 1: toll that the injuries are taking and I think you

588
00:29:07,160 --> 00:29:10,000
Speaker 1: saw it in a game where the Patriots only had

589
00:29:10,040 --> 00:29:13,240
Speaker 1: what thy yards of offense against Tennessee. Yeah, but there

590
00:29:13,320 --> 00:29:15,400
Speaker 1: were three points. They took their foot off the gas

591
00:29:15,440 --> 00:29:19,160
Speaker 1: pedal at halftime with three lead. Brandon Lafel had his

592
00:29:19,240 --> 00:29:21,200
Speaker 1: best game at the season, if you want to take

593
00:29:21,240 --> 00:29:24,880
Speaker 1: any positives away in the backfield, trio without Legart Blunt

594
00:29:25,200 --> 00:29:27,560
Speaker 1: combined for a hundred and eighty two yards and that

595
00:29:27,680 --> 00:29:30,240
Speaker 1: doesn't even include a seventy yard catching run that James

596
00:29:30,280 --> 00:29:32,720
Speaker 1: Whitehead called back on panel. Can you name their leading

597
00:29:32,800 --> 00:29:37,120
Speaker 1: rusher today, Joey? You know off the practice squad a

598
00:29:37,200 --> 00:29:43,560
Speaker 1: full fourteen carries for Titans defender. Well, that lads to

599
00:29:43,640 --> 00:29:45,440
Speaker 1: leads credence to the idea that they could plug in

600
00:29:45,480 --> 00:29:48,640
Speaker 1: anyone at this point and he's suddenly an NFL contribut

601
00:29:49,600 --> 00:29:54,000
Speaker 1: the Patriots, I believe, Greg NFL record sixth straight season

602
00:29:54,040 --> 00:29:57,360
Speaker 1: now with a bye in the first round of the playoffs. Yes,

603
00:29:57,440 --> 00:30:00,520
Speaker 1: that is the record the previous one graduation thanks and

604
00:30:00,880 --> 00:30:03,880
Speaker 1: six straight years with twelve wins or more. And it

605
00:30:03,960 --> 00:30:06,680
Speaker 1: points out something that I that people don't seem to

606
00:30:06,720 --> 00:30:10,000
Speaker 1: recognize that this air the Gronk era Patriots in terms

607
00:30:10,040 --> 00:30:12,320
Speaker 1: of the regular season are far and away better than

608
00:30:12,400 --> 00:30:14,520
Speaker 1: any of the runs when they were winning the titles

609
00:30:14,560 --> 00:30:16,840
Speaker 1: early on. Well that makes sense though, because you're a

610
00:30:16,920 --> 00:30:19,880
Speaker 1: decade later in the team building process and there's there's

611
00:30:19,920 --> 00:30:23,120
Speaker 1: not a more cohesive franchise in sports, and you want

612
00:30:23,120 --> 00:30:24,760
Speaker 1: to look back to when they went nine and seven

613
00:30:24,880 --> 00:30:26,800
Speaker 1: or whatever it was after winning the first Super Bowl.

614
00:30:27,160 --> 00:30:28,920
Speaker 1: They're not They're not going to do that at this point,

615
00:30:29,000 --> 00:30:31,600
Speaker 1: not the way they're built, not with Gronk on the team. Sure,

616
00:30:31,880 --> 00:30:33,480
Speaker 1: you know, and most of the injuries are coming in

617
00:30:33,560 --> 00:30:36,960
Speaker 1: the secondary or on offense. But this front seven, what

618
00:30:37,120 --> 00:30:39,400
Speaker 1: they did in the first half, they knocked the other

619
00:30:39,440 --> 00:30:42,280
Speaker 1: team starting quarterback out of the game. They allow fifty

620
00:30:42,360 --> 00:30:45,640
Speaker 1: eight yards, one third down conversion and two yards per

621
00:30:45,720 --> 00:30:47,520
Speaker 1: play in the first half of this game. I don't

622
00:30:47,520 --> 00:30:49,840
Speaker 1: think it's a big deal. Mariota, though, played his worst

623
00:30:49,880 --> 00:30:51,320
Speaker 1: towards the end of the year. If this is all

624
00:30:51,400 --> 00:30:53,120
Speaker 1: we see of him as a spring knee looked like

625
00:30:53,160 --> 00:30:55,360
Speaker 1: he could have maybe come back in I think we

626
00:30:55,400 --> 00:30:57,680
Speaker 1: don't know if he'll he'll play again, but he has

627
00:30:57,760 --> 00:31:00,520
Speaker 1: taken on a little bit of water lay in the year.

628
00:31:00,520 --> 00:31:03,600
Speaker 1: If all you had watched where his late season games,

629
00:31:03,640 --> 00:31:05,800
Speaker 1: you would have a different feel of him holding the

630
00:31:05,880 --> 00:31:08,120
Speaker 1: ball too long, taking a lot of sacks and fumbling

631
00:31:08,160 --> 00:31:09,680
Speaker 1: the ball at I mean it's not a shock though,

632
00:31:09,720 --> 00:31:12,040
Speaker 1: because like it's a contribution of you haven't been healthy

633
00:31:12,120 --> 00:31:15,080
Speaker 1: probably in months. If you're Marcus Mariotta, you've talked about

634
00:31:15,120 --> 00:31:16,800
Speaker 1: a Western just not a lot of weapons. There's no

635
00:31:16,960 --> 00:31:20,200
Speaker 1: run game. The defense is starting to look at itself

636
00:31:20,240 --> 00:31:23,000
Speaker 1: in a different ways. Dan mentioned last week, and what

637
00:31:23,120 --> 00:31:24,600
Speaker 1: are you with the Titans at this point? I mean,

638
00:31:24,640 --> 00:31:26,880
Speaker 1: you've also playing the longest season of your life if

639
00:31:26,920 --> 00:31:29,440
Speaker 1: your first year pro. This was a past protection issue.

640
00:31:29,480 --> 00:31:32,280
Speaker 1: This was not a Mariota issue. And meanwhile, on the

641
00:31:32,320 --> 00:31:36,280
Speaker 1: throne of sleeves. This from the Boston Globe. The Patriots,

642
00:31:36,320 --> 00:31:39,760
Speaker 1: in an unusual departure from NFL practice, have created a

643
00:31:39,840 --> 00:31:43,320
Speaker 1: revenue stream for a private business owned by their franchise

644
00:31:43,400 --> 00:31:47,520
Speaker 1: quarterback Tom Brady and a partner who faced federal sanctions

645
00:31:47,560 --> 00:31:51,680
Speaker 1: after falsely presenting himself as a medical doctor and deceptively

646
00:31:51,800 --> 00:31:56,240
Speaker 1: promoting nutritional supplements. Answer Joy Greg, answer to it. Wait,

647
00:31:56,320 --> 00:31:59,760
Speaker 1: so you're saying the guy that makes Tom Brady's smoothies

648
00:32:00,640 --> 00:32:03,640
Speaker 1: one said he was a doctor. Guys like I got water,

649
00:32:05,000 --> 00:32:08,400
Speaker 1: go away Tommy, What do I care? Whatever gets the

650
00:32:08,480 --> 00:32:11,880
Speaker 1: job done, whatever makes Tommy believe he's Tom Brady, that

651
00:32:12,040 --> 00:32:15,479
Speaker 1: it's more an issue. Apparently that all this talk, Oh

652
00:32:15,680 --> 00:32:19,000
Speaker 1: tom Brady signs these cat friendly deals. He only cares

653
00:32:19,000 --> 00:32:21,320
Speaker 1: about winning. They got all the back room dealings where

654
00:32:21,360 --> 00:32:25,720
Speaker 1: he's getting money funneled in other places Loophole central. You know, Dan,

655
00:32:25,840 --> 00:32:29,400
Speaker 1: I on board with your idea to look for certain

656
00:32:29,480 --> 00:32:33,480
Speaker 1: reasons to potentially have issues with the Patriots, but that

657
00:32:33,760 --> 00:32:37,920
Speaker 1: is not working for me. People do to this podcast

658
00:32:38,000 --> 00:32:41,600
Speaker 1: for tie break info. I've done. I've done some some work.

659
00:32:42,040 --> 00:32:45,240
Speaker 1: If the Patriots and Bengals tie, If the Jets, for instance,

660
00:32:45,360 --> 00:32:48,320
Speaker 1: beat the Patriots, next week, Patriots and Bengals tie at

661
00:32:48,360 --> 00:32:51,120
Speaker 1: thirteen and three, most likely Patriots still get the one seed.

662
00:32:51,240 --> 00:32:56,400
Speaker 1: You're the best in the business. Smiling face his step

663
00:32:56,560 --> 00:32:59,080
Speaker 1: like playoff permutation if it was, if it was up

664
00:32:59,120 --> 00:33:02,600
Speaker 1: to you, it would be week fifteen every day, because

665
00:33:02,920 --> 00:33:05,640
Speaker 1: every year always a sudden to talk about permi. You

666
00:33:05,760 --> 00:33:10,640
Speaker 1: take Groundhog Day a disastrous film. Um, all right, let

667
00:33:10,760 --> 00:33:16,160
Speaker 1: us move on to the Cincinnati Bengals. The forementioned Bengals,

668
00:33:16,200 --> 00:33:18,680
Speaker 1: A J. Mccaren is off to a good start as

669
00:33:18,720 --> 00:33:22,080
Speaker 1: a starter for Cincinnati. The second year quarterback. Uh did

670
00:33:22,160 --> 00:33:24,640
Speaker 1: not have a turnover and Cincinnati took advantage of San

671
00:33:24,680 --> 00:33:30,760
Speaker 1: Francisco errors win, clinching another playoff berth for Marvin Lewis. Uh.

672
00:33:31,040 --> 00:33:32,760
Speaker 1: You know, it goes to January every year. I love him,

673
00:33:32,920 --> 00:33:35,320
Speaker 1: hate him Greg. With the Steelers surging, this is a

674
00:33:35,400 --> 00:33:38,480
Speaker 1: must win for the Bengals. They got it done. They did,

675
00:33:38,800 --> 00:33:42,200
Speaker 1: and Aj mccaren you know, by all accounts, look pretty

676
00:33:42,200 --> 00:33:44,960
Speaker 1: good in the game, look good enough to win. Yeah.

677
00:33:45,000 --> 00:33:47,120
Speaker 1: I mean, and we talked last week that if you're

678
00:33:47,160 --> 00:33:49,120
Speaker 1: Agia McCarron and you're the Bengals and you need a

679
00:33:49,200 --> 00:33:51,480
Speaker 1: week to kind of get your act together and find

680
00:33:51,520 --> 00:33:53,440
Speaker 1: out where it wears, boundaries are what he can do

681
00:33:54,000 --> 00:33:57,200
Speaker 1: perfect opponent. I mean, the forty niners are cooked at

682
00:33:57,280 --> 00:34:00,680
Speaker 1: this point. They are absolutely cooked. And the Bengal they

683
00:34:00,720 --> 00:34:03,520
Speaker 1: came in and took care of business nine yards per te.

684
00:34:04,520 --> 00:34:06,760
Speaker 1: He looks fine, and what he had last week took

685
00:34:06,760 --> 00:34:08,839
Speaker 1: a little while for them to get going. The run

686
00:34:08,880 --> 00:34:10,759
Speaker 1: game didn't do a lot, but just the fact that

687
00:34:11,400 --> 00:34:14,440
Speaker 1: he's the quarterback and they're up twenty one nothing a halftime,

688
00:34:14,520 --> 00:34:17,680
Speaker 1: it was. It lends credence to what Damask was saying

689
00:34:18,160 --> 00:34:20,399
Speaker 1: this week, which is what's It's maybe not that big

690
00:34:20,440 --> 00:34:22,080
Speaker 1: a difference. It's not that big a deal. We'll see

691
00:34:22,120 --> 00:34:24,480
Speaker 1: when they start playing a better team like Denver next week.

692
00:34:24,520 --> 00:34:29,160
Speaker 1: But I totally I've seen that floated around, that it

693
00:34:29,280 --> 00:34:33,560
Speaker 1: might even be an upgraded agent. I didn't like that.

694
00:34:33,680 --> 00:34:36,680
Speaker 1: On the side, I get the idea though, that they're

695
00:34:36,719 --> 00:34:40,320
Speaker 1: a good enough team with good enough coaches and mccaren's

696
00:34:40,320 --> 00:34:42,800
Speaker 1: a good enough backup that they can coach around it

697
00:34:43,080 --> 00:34:46,040
Speaker 1: and still be a really good team against Yeah, and

698
00:34:46,200 --> 00:34:48,040
Speaker 1: and and we'll see you next week. Jackson is a

699
00:34:48,120 --> 00:34:50,719
Speaker 1: great schemer and play caller. He's got the right help

700
00:34:50,760 --> 00:34:53,000
Speaker 1: there and like you said, the surrounding talent. But it's

701
00:34:53,040 --> 00:34:55,040
Speaker 1: one thing to do against the forty niners. It's another

702
00:34:55,080 --> 00:34:58,120
Speaker 1: thing to go into Denver next week and not face

703
00:34:58,200 --> 00:35:00,840
Speaker 1: plan well. And last year in that game against the

704
00:35:00,880 --> 00:35:03,359
Speaker 1: Broncos when Cincinnati won on primetime, it had a lot

705
00:35:03,440 --> 00:35:05,799
Speaker 1: to do with their defensive backfield, and their defense has

706
00:35:05,840 --> 00:35:08,680
Speaker 1: to probably carry the way at this point for the

707
00:35:08,760 --> 00:35:10,759
Speaker 1: passing game, that's not gonna be the same. I would

708
00:35:10,800 --> 00:35:13,719
Speaker 1: absolutely dismiss the idea that Andy Dalton is not a

709
00:35:13,800 --> 00:35:15,960
Speaker 1: factor in this offense and the eight team. Mcanaron can

710
00:35:16,000 --> 00:35:17,719
Speaker 1: step right in and just do what he did. But

711
00:35:18,200 --> 00:35:21,040
Speaker 1: Hugh Jackson showed confidence in when I love. I think

712
00:35:21,080 --> 00:35:23,240
Speaker 1: Hugh Jackson has got to be your number one coaching

713
00:35:23,320 --> 00:35:26,040
Speaker 1: Kennedy at this point. If you're okay with what the

714
00:35:26,160 --> 00:35:28,960
Speaker 1: rest of Hugh Jackson brings, it doesn't matter what's happening

715
00:35:31,040 --> 00:35:32,880
Speaker 1: or less of who you say that, as long as

716
00:35:32,920 --> 00:35:34,879
Speaker 1: you're okay with what he brings, what he's not. He's

717
00:35:34,920 --> 00:35:38,960
Speaker 1: not like Hugh Jackson, I think is maybe not the

718
00:35:39,160 --> 00:35:42,000
Speaker 1: probably the easiest personality for certain teams to take on

719
00:35:42,120 --> 00:35:44,080
Speaker 1: if they want to hire a head coach. But whatever,

720
00:35:44,200 --> 00:35:45,719
Speaker 1: that's not the main point here. Well, another thing with

721
00:35:45,840 --> 00:35:49,400
Speaker 1: Cincinnati and they need mccarroen is a limited guy as

722
00:35:49,440 --> 00:35:52,120
Speaker 1: a young quarterback. The good thing about them is that

723
00:35:52,160 --> 00:35:54,319
Speaker 1: they're such a good balanced team, so the defense can

724
00:35:54,360 --> 00:35:56,719
Speaker 1: pick up the slack they need better and better play

725
00:35:56,760 --> 00:35:59,440
Speaker 1: from their running backs. I know Jeremy Hill got in

726
00:35:59,480 --> 00:36:01,680
Speaker 1: the end zone to ice, but he went nineteen for

727
00:36:01,880 --> 00:36:05,359
Speaker 1: thirty one. Geo Bernard went fourteen for thirty three. Uh,

728
00:36:05,680 --> 00:36:07,600
Speaker 1: neither of them had to run longer than ten yards,

729
00:36:07,680 --> 00:36:09,880
Speaker 1: So you know this is this is a team. To me,

730
00:36:09,960 --> 00:36:12,000
Speaker 1: it's gonna be vulnerable as long as mc karen's there.

731
00:36:12,080 --> 00:36:15,279
Speaker 1: Dalton is just a superior player. But this was such

732
00:36:15,320 --> 00:36:17,600
Speaker 1: an important one because and we talked about this on Thursday,

733
00:36:17,920 --> 00:36:19,680
Speaker 1: if you would have stubbed your toe here and you

734
00:36:19,760 --> 00:36:22,360
Speaker 1: know things, he throws a pick six or something happens

735
00:36:22,400 --> 00:36:25,320
Speaker 1: and somehow the Niners steal that and the Steelers surgery.

736
00:36:25,560 --> 00:36:27,760
Speaker 1: A little sense of panic can come into that building.

737
00:36:27,800 --> 00:36:29,879
Speaker 1: But now you're okay, you're going to the playoffs. Maybe

738
00:36:29,920 --> 00:36:31,560
Speaker 1: win one more game, you should be fine. And the

739
00:36:31,600 --> 00:36:33,719
Speaker 1: way we got to win the division in next week's game,

740
00:36:33,760 --> 00:36:36,720
Speaker 1: it's just massive against Denver. We said with the Broncos,

741
00:36:36,719 --> 00:36:38,359
Speaker 1: they could fall right out of the playoffs. They could

742
00:36:38,400 --> 00:36:40,120
Speaker 1: lose the division if they lose that game. And for

743
00:36:40,200 --> 00:36:44,960
Speaker 1: the Bengals, it's like getting that playoff win. For the Bengals,

744
00:36:44,960 --> 00:36:46,480
Speaker 1: I know it doesn't count as a playoff win, but

745
00:36:46,520 --> 00:36:48,480
Speaker 1: it gets them to the final eight and it gets

746
00:36:48,520 --> 00:36:50,359
Speaker 1: them a home game in the final eight if they

747
00:36:50,400 --> 00:36:52,399
Speaker 1: can beat Denver. So that is just a massive game.

748
00:36:53,320 --> 00:36:57,759
Speaker 1: Let's move on. Never ever, ever, ever trust the Jaguars.

749
00:36:57,880 --> 00:37:01,240
Speaker 1: Jacksonville got a free falling Falcons team in their building

750
00:37:01,320 --> 00:37:03,720
Speaker 1: on Sunday, and they could not take care of business.

751
00:37:03,800 --> 00:37:07,239
Speaker 1: They lose twenty three to seventeen and Falcons victory. I

752
00:37:07,320 --> 00:37:09,880
Speaker 1: think the Falcons had lost what five in a row? Uh,

753
00:37:10,040 --> 00:37:12,760
Speaker 1: two fifty five in a row, two hundred and fifty

754
00:37:12,800 --> 00:37:16,680
Speaker 1: five consecutive losses. That streak is over West. The Falcons

755
00:37:16,800 --> 00:37:20,080
Speaker 1: keep their faint playoff hopes alive, and the Jaguars inch

756
00:37:20,200 --> 00:37:23,279
Speaker 1: darker to edge closer to another dark January. They have

757
00:37:23,400 --> 00:37:26,400
Speaker 1: no one to blame but themselves. Yeah, their defense, I mean,

758
00:37:26,440 --> 00:37:29,880
Speaker 1: as exciting as we think their offense is. Blake Bortles

759
00:37:29,960 --> 00:37:32,359
Speaker 1: is making too many mistakes on a weekly basis, game

760
00:37:32,480 --> 00:37:35,680
Speaker 1: changing mistakes, and their defense can't stop anyone. This Falcon's

761
00:37:35,719 --> 00:37:38,960
Speaker 1: offense was reeling. Julio Jones and Matt Ryan picked them apart,

762
00:37:39,800 --> 00:37:42,279
Speaker 1: and I think the Falcons have a They would need

763
00:37:42,320 --> 00:37:45,160
Speaker 1: a miracle to get into playoffs. But the Jaguars also

764
00:37:45,239 --> 00:37:48,359
Speaker 1: need Americle because Blake Bortles. By the way, Buddy, I've

765
00:37:48,400 --> 00:37:50,800
Speaker 1: seen this now at least three times this season. You

766
00:37:50,880 --> 00:37:53,279
Speaker 1: can't throw the ball past the line of scrimmage. Once

767
00:37:53,360 --> 00:37:55,680
Speaker 1: you pass the line of scrimmage. That's a rule, right

768
00:37:55,760 --> 00:37:58,439
Speaker 1: That call, That call got overturned. Oh did it? Still,

769
00:37:58,480 --> 00:38:00,279
Speaker 1: don't do it. I thought you're gonna pick on him

770
00:38:00,320 --> 00:38:03,200
Speaker 1: for the throw. He had the interception into the end

771
00:38:03,280 --> 00:38:05,920
Speaker 1: zone going into halftime, which changed the entire complexion of

772
00:38:05,960 --> 00:38:08,360
Speaker 1: the game. And you're right up West. You had a

773
00:38:08,400 --> 00:38:10,719
Speaker 1: good tweet from Billick. Blake Bortles is like the power

774
00:38:10,800 --> 00:38:13,720
Speaker 1: hitter in baseball that crushes home runs but also strikes

775
00:38:13,719 --> 00:38:15,919
Speaker 1: out way too many times. So he's a robbed deer

776
00:38:15,960 --> 00:38:17,640
Speaker 1: at this point of his life. Yes, he has more

777
00:38:17,800 --> 00:38:20,279
Speaker 1: completions of twenty yards in any quarterback in the league,

778
00:38:20,320 --> 00:38:24,799
Speaker 1: but he doesn't sustain drives long enough or or consistently enough.

779
00:38:26,080 --> 00:38:29,200
Speaker 1: It's disappointing. We were excited, and we'll get to the

780
00:38:29,280 --> 00:38:32,160
Speaker 1: rest of the a f C South Championship game earlier today.

781
00:38:32,200 --> 00:38:33,960
Speaker 1: That was, you know, one of the worst games of

782
00:38:34,040 --> 00:38:37,200
Speaker 1: the day and still was the most important in terms

783
00:38:37,239 --> 00:38:38,879
Speaker 1: of the playoffs if you really want to get down

784
00:38:38,920 --> 00:38:41,799
Speaker 1: to it. And the Jaggers had a golden opportunity. They've

785
00:38:41,840 --> 00:38:43,759
Speaker 1: had a bunch here down the stretch that the game

786
00:38:43,760 --> 00:38:46,560
Speaker 1: against the Titans. They could have won this game for sure.

787
00:38:46,640 --> 00:38:49,920
Speaker 1: If they had just won this game, their scenarios to

788
00:38:50,000 --> 00:38:52,960
Speaker 1: win the next two in the division. We're not crazy

789
00:38:53,000 --> 00:38:55,440
Speaker 1: because you get to face the Texans right coming up

790
00:38:55,560 --> 00:38:57,640
Speaker 1: and you could have just gotten into that first place.

791
00:38:57,640 --> 00:38:59,359
Speaker 1: But they couldn't do it. They couldn't be a team

792
00:38:59,400 --> 00:39:01,880
Speaker 1: that didn't want two months. And we probably were more

793
00:39:01,960 --> 00:39:04,560
Speaker 1: excited about the Jaguars a week ago than we were

794
00:39:04,640 --> 00:39:07,120
Speaker 1: the Chiefs. And that's really what's not fair, because it's

795
00:39:07,160 --> 00:39:09,239
Speaker 1: hard to go do what Kansas City has done when

796
00:39:09,320 --> 00:39:12,360
Speaker 1: you look at an incomplete team like Jacksonville that cannot

797
00:39:12,480 --> 00:39:15,640
Speaker 1: string two wins together. When you you if you come

798
00:39:15,719 --> 00:39:19,000
Speaker 1: into this season knowing what your opportunity would be in

799
00:39:19,120 --> 00:39:22,000
Speaker 1: Week fifteen in this crappy division and you can't get

800
00:39:22,040 --> 00:39:24,160
Speaker 1: it done, it is on you. You know who's having

801
00:39:24,280 --> 00:39:29,840
Speaker 1: quietly another monster statistical seasons. Julio Jones started out obviously,

802
00:39:29,880 --> 00:39:32,279
Speaker 1: every he started out really fast and then he kind

803
00:39:32,280 --> 00:39:33,800
Speaker 1: of went into a lull and Matt Ryan was a

804
00:39:33,840 --> 00:39:35,760
Speaker 1: big reason why. But now you look up, a hundred

805
00:39:35,760 --> 00:39:39,480
Speaker 1: and eight team catches almost sixteen hundred yards seven touchdowns

806
00:39:39,520 --> 00:39:42,720
Speaker 1: is kind of pedestrian. But this guy's monster got built

807
00:39:42,760 --> 00:39:45,440
Speaker 1: around him and gett Matt Ryan back on track. He

808
00:39:45,560 --> 00:39:49,320
Speaker 1: broke Roddy White's single season franchise record for receptions this

809
00:39:49,440 --> 00:39:52,239
Speaker 1: week and next week he's gonna break his record set

810
00:39:52,320 --> 00:39:54,480
Speaker 1: last year for yards in this season, and so yeah,

811
00:39:54,480 --> 00:39:57,600
Speaker 1: he's having a great year team. His Falcon team is

812
00:39:57,600 --> 00:39:59,279
Speaker 1: seven and seven with two home games coming up. They

813
00:39:59,400 --> 00:40:02,040
Speaker 1: basically right where you would think they would be. It

814
00:40:02,200 --> 00:40:05,359
Speaker 1: just has been a wayward way to get well. If

815
00:40:05,360 --> 00:40:08,359
Speaker 1: they somehow find those themselves into the playoff picture at

816
00:40:08,360 --> 00:40:11,000
Speaker 1: the end, I'm gonna I'm done. It's not gonna happen.

817
00:40:11,840 --> 00:40:14,360
Speaker 1: You're out. I don't know what it means, but I

818
00:40:14,400 --> 00:40:17,040
Speaker 1: would not be excited about having You should declare vengeance, well,

819
00:40:17,080 --> 00:40:19,399
Speaker 1: they'd have to be line on next week it will start.

820
00:40:19,480 --> 00:40:21,920
Speaker 1: That would be one that. The only way to declare

821
00:40:22,040 --> 00:40:25,239
Speaker 1: vengeance though, is vengeance on the Falcons. Go take two

822
00:40:25,239 --> 00:40:27,279
Speaker 1: weeks off, You need to visit. You have need to

823
00:40:27,400 --> 00:40:30,000
Speaker 1: verbally make it clear because that puts it on the books.

824
00:40:30,480 --> 00:40:32,320
Speaker 1: So just whenever you're ready for it, I might be.

825
00:40:32,400 --> 00:40:35,240
Speaker 1: I mean, I think they're going to declare vengeance on themselves.

826
00:40:35,320 --> 00:40:37,799
Speaker 1: They probably won't meet meet involved here. They're gonna get

827
00:40:37,800 --> 00:40:41,160
Speaker 1: it done. That sounds depressing, declaring vengeance on yourself. Let's

828
00:40:41,280 --> 00:40:44,919
Speaker 1: move on, We keep rolling. Yes, the a f C South.

829
00:40:45,040 --> 00:40:48,080
Speaker 1: This really could have decided and you know who knows

830
00:40:48,120 --> 00:40:51,360
Speaker 1: how this divisionalll end up shaking up. But Texans cults

831
00:40:51,960 --> 00:40:54,120
Speaker 1: at because about to say the r C A Dome,

832
00:40:54,200 --> 00:40:57,080
Speaker 1: which really showed my age. It's the Lucas Oil Stadium.

833
00:40:57,840 --> 00:41:00,440
Speaker 1: But the Texans one in India for the time in

834
00:41:00,520 --> 00:41:04,320
Speaker 1: franchise history. And they have who to thank for it,

835
00:41:04,400 --> 00:41:09,240
Speaker 1: Mark uh we didn't come up space Brendan Yes, really,

836
00:41:09,960 --> 00:41:13,400
Speaker 1: the much maligned quarterback replaced an injured T. J. Yates

837
00:41:13,760 --> 00:41:17,200
Speaker 1: and lead Houston to all of their points a win

838
00:41:17,440 --> 00:41:20,120
Speaker 1: over the Colts. This is the Texans, a team without

839
00:41:20,520 --> 00:41:25,040
Speaker 1: Arian Foster. Foster on its fourth quarterback leads the ANFC

840
00:41:25,160 --> 00:41:29,160
Speaker 1: South of two weeks to play sizzler. Bill O'Brien for president, Well,

841
00:41:29,200 --> 00:41:31,160
Speaker 1: I mean, of course he should be put in the

842
00:41:31,400 --> 00:41:34,880
Speaker 1: presidential consideration after what he's done. You know, with Yates

843
00:41:34,960 --> 00:41:38,440
Speaker 1: going out? Were they just to get Jason Campbell off

844
00:41:38,480 --> 00:41:41,080
Speaker 1: the street as a little cub insurance they recreate that

845
00:41:41,239 --> 00:41:45,040
Speaker 1: magical Brown's quarterback room from two thousand thirteen. So yes,

846
00:41:45,440 --> 00:41:49,880
Speaker 1: b O b for president? If ied? Happy for Brandon

847
00:41:49,920 --> 00:41:52,200
Speaker 1: we died, Maybe he gets another few years of employment

848
00:41:52,239 --> 00:41:54,560
Speaker 1: and I said the same thing to Mark Downstairs, because

849
00:41:55,080 --> 00:41:57,759
Speaker 1: this guy, for you know, yes he's bad, he's not

850
00:41:57,840 --> 00:42:00,120
Speaker 1: a good quarterback, but he also seems like a a

851
00:42:00,239 --> 00:42:02,440
Speaker 1: decent guy, and you just want him to have a

852
00:42:02,520 --> 00:42:05,359
Speaker 1: couple of moments where you can, you know, at least

853
00:42:05,440 --> 00:42:08,359
Speaker 1: be somebody that's not remembered as a laughing stock. You know, well,

854
00:42:08,440 --> 00:42:11,680
Speaker 1: and who thought that he would buy years outlast potentially

855
00:42:11,719 --> 00:42:14,279
Speaker 1: Trent Richardson's career. But when you're a quarterback and you

856
00:42:14,400 --> 00:42:16,840
Speaker 1: do what he wanted, what an achievement. Well, I don't know,

857
00:42:17,000 --> 00:42:18,880
Speaker 1: but I'm saying when they were drafted, it would be

858
00:42:19,080 --> 00:42:23,600
Speaker 1: ultra depressed draft by the way, Mark for who oh yeah,

859
00:42:23,960 --> 00:42:26,719
Speaker 1: that was just an amazing collection of talent they brought in.

860
00:42:26,840 --> 00:42:29,799
Speaker 1: I watched a lot of this game and this we'd

861
00:42:29,840 --> 00:42:33,359
Speaker 1: have to really search for a worst game and two

862
00:42:33,440 --> 00:42:37,920
Speaker 1: worst teams that had such a major, major playoff implication.

863
00:42:38,040 --> 00:42:41,200
Speaker 1: I know, I know we're joking about it, but it's

864
00:42:41,239 --> 00:42:44,400
Speaker 1: really a next level thing. When Charlie Whitehurst is in

865
00:42:44,480 --> 00:42:47,800
Speaker 1: the game, because Matt Hasselbeck just keeps getting knocked around.

866
00:42:48,000 --> 00:42:51,280
Speaker 1: Hasselbeck eventually finished the game, and then you have Weed

867
00:42:51,400 --> 00:42:55,480
Speaker 1: in who's replacing t J. Yate and it's ten six

868
00:42:55,680 --> 00:42:58,200
Speaker 1: because of you know, the Colt, the Colts. It felt

869
00:42:58,239 --> 00:43:01,040
Speaker 1: like that Colts ten three lead was in surmountable and

870
00:43:01,200 --> 00:43:02,880
Speaker 1: I think it was really set up by a defensive

871
00:43:03,320 --> 00:43:07,000
Speaker 1: score or or a turnover. And just watching it's depressing

872
00:43:07,040 --> 00:43:08,560
Speaker 1: thinking one of these teams are going to be in

873
00:43:08,680 --> 00:43:10,800
Speaker 1: there instead of the Jets, are the Steelers, are the

874
00:43:10,880 --> 00:43:12,880
Speaker 1: Chiefs one of those? That is why you want to

875
00:43:12,960 --> 00:43:15,560
Speaker 1: get that right seed that deals with the a f C.

876
00:43:15,719 --> 00:43:18,000
Speaker 1: It's the five seed. It's that's hop wild spot and

877
00:43:18,080 --> 00:43:20,120
Speaker 1: right now Kansas City has got it and if they

878
00:43:20,200 --> 00:43:23,600
Speaker 1: can win out that that really there's three by teams

879
00:43:23,640 --> 00:43:25,279
Speaker 1: in the a f C. It's the two that are

880
00:43:25,360 --> 00:43:28,759
Speaker 1: by teams and the team dealing with this trash whoa well,

881
00:43:28,840 --> 00:43:30,880
Speaker 1: you know what's juston is a different team with Hoyer

882
00:43:31,239 --> 00:43:33,160
Speaker 1: and assuming he comes back, they don't know if he's

883
00:43:33,160 --> 00:43:35,399
Speaker 1: gonna be back next week. You know, Brian Hoyer playing

884
00:43:35,480 --> 00:43:38,719
Speaker 1: at home. Brian Hoyer in a playoff game at home,

885
00:43:40,080 --> 00:43:41,560
Speaker 1: they could pull off. So we don't know that we

886
00:43:41,760 --> 00:43:44,360
Speaker 1: that Howyer is coming back to Why we reports that

887
00:43:44,480 --> 00:43:48,160
Speaker 1: he may be bang up is we don't Colts who

888
00:43:48,480 --> 00:43:52,479
Speaker 1: they they have some materials to be an interesting team,

889
00:43:52,520 --> 00:43:54,799
Speaker 1: but as Marcus pointed out and Dan has pointed out,

890
00:43:55,040 --> 00:43:57,399
Speaker 1: it's a very boring team to watch this year. They're

891
00:43:57,440 --> 00:43:59,840
Speaker 1: not out of it, though they're at Dolphins versus Tighten

892
00:44:00,320 --> 00:44:03,120
Speaker 1: depending on which game they win. If they win the

893
00:44:03,200 --> 00:44:05,680
Speaker 1: division game, you know they might still get in if

894
00:44:05,719 --> 00:44:08,120
Speaker 1: because it wouldn't shock you if if the Texans lost

895
00:44:08,200 --> 00:44:10,279
Speaker 1: out here either. It's just crazy that we're saying this

896
00:44:10,520 --> 00:44:12,920
Speaker 1: about a team with Andrew Luck, who will probably be

897
00:44:13,080 --> 00:44:16,480
Speaker 1: in that playoff game when it comes around. Is he

898
00:44:16,600 --> 00:44:19,600
Speaker 1: coming back? I don't know. I don't know, But at

899
00:44:19,640 --> 00:44:23,759
Speaker 1: this point you could twenty sided dice to figure out

900
00:44:23,800 --> 00:44:27,920
Speaker 1: which quarterbacks honestly, and you know, and Andrew Luck beat

901
00:44:27,960 --> 00:44:30,080
Speaker 1: the Broncos when the Broncos hadn't lost the game yet.

902
00:44:30,840 --> 00:44:34,520
Speaker 1: That's fair dog. Moving on, let's check in over at

903
00:44:34,560 --> 00:44:38,400
Speaker 1: the NFC where the Green Bay Packers played. You know,

904
00:44:38,719 --> 00:44:41,680
Speaker 1: far from a perfect game in Oakland on Sunday, but

905
00:44:41,760 --> 00:44:44,240
Speaker 1: they did enough a thirty to twenty win that clinched

906
00:44:44,320 --> 00:44:46,920
Speaker 1: a playoff berth and ended any hope so the Raiders,

907
00:44:47,040 --> 00:44:50,960
Speaker 1: ending their long postseason drought. Greg Rosenthal, the Packers offense

908
00:44:51,239 --> 00:44:53,520
Speaker 1: still feels a little bit flawed to me, but the

909
00:44:53,640 --> 00:44:55,959
Speaker 1: magic this team didn't panic when things got a little

910
00:44:56,040 --> 00:44:58,960
Speaker 1: hairy in the black hole. Gross, I had a really

911
00:44:59,040 --> 00:45:02,040
Speaker 1: hard time come up with a big takeaway from this game.

912
00:45:03,160 --> 00:45:05,200
Speaker 1: That was gross. That was I mean, our listeners have

913
00:45:05,280 --> 00:45:08,680
Speaker 1: all they're all on pause, so for them, but they're

914
00:45:09,760 --> 00:45:14,360
Speaker 1: West's wild, giggling like a little child. It wasn't I

915
00:45:14,360 --> 00:45:16,520
Speaker 1: would only half paying attention. And then I had to

916
00:45:16,560 --> 00:45:20,600
Speaker 1: backtrack through the words. When you said, Gross, I don't

917
00:45:20,600 --> 00:45:23,279
Speaker 1: have about some huge takeaway from this game. There there

918
00:45:23,400 --> 00:45:25,680
Speaker 1: was There was no There was nothing that stood out.

919
00:45:25,760 --> 00:45:27,640
Speaker 1: The thing that stood out to me was that Aaron

920
00:45:27,719 --> 00:45:32,040
Speaker 1: Rodgers and the Packers team played their best the last

921
00:45:32,080 --> 00:45:35,560
Speaker 1: twenty minutes. After playing really a lousy first forty minutes.

922
00:45:35,560 --> 00:45:38,480
Speaker 1: They get a fourteen nothing lead because of two bad

923
00:45:38,560 --> 00:45:42,680
Speaker 1: interceptions by Derek Carr. Packers really got out played for

924
00:45:42,800 --> 00:45:46,439
Speaker 1: most of the game. Oakland comes back. But then Aaron

925
00:45:46,520 --> 00:45:48,920
Speaker 1: Rodgers did what he's does. He gets James Jones involved.

926
00:45:49,040 --> 00:45:51,479
Speaker 1: They had a couple of long drives, their defense played

927
00:45:51,520 --> 00:45:53,680
Speaker 1: well down the stretch. Julius Peppers played well enough, and

928
00:45:53,680 --> 00:45:55,160
Speaker 1: they gotta win that they needed to get. We were

929
00:45:55,200 --> 00:45:57,200
Speaker 1: looking for them to stack some wins. There's the key

930
00:45:57,280 --> 00:46:00,399
Speaker 1: phrasing your recap. The Packers passing it was to sink

931
00:46:00,480 --> 00:46:02,920
Speaker 1: for much of the day. Yeah, we thought Mike McCarthy

932
00:46:03,080 --> 00:46:05,080
Speaker 1: might be some magic a licks or taking the play

933
00:46:05,160 --> 00:46:07,839
Speaker 1: calling over again. Eddie Lacy doesn't do much on the ground.

934
00:46:07,960 --> 00:46:10,600
Speaker 1: Lacey was running like an offensive guard again, Let's be honest.

935
00:46:10,719 --> 00:46:12,680
Speaker 1: I mean he's doing it again. A pitter pattern here,

936
00:46:12,719 --> 00:46:16,440
Speaker 1: the goal line not moving quick. This guy crazy. I

937
00:46:16,520 --> 00:46:19,200
Speaker 1: know Mark Brady, who you know is one of our

938
00:46:19,200 --> 00:46:21,640
Speaker 1: shadowy league figures. Once wants us to mention that the

939
00:46:21,680 --> 00:46:24,600
Speaker 1: Packers are still in the hunt for the number two seeds.

940
00:46:24,640 --> 00:46:30,520
Speaker 1: Did you just name a shadowy league figure by name? Yes, business, Yes, Well,

941
00:46:30,560 --> 00:46:33,400
Speaker 1: I mean we can talk about will be ineligible, but

942
00:46:33,560 --> 00:46:35,120
Speaker 1: he's not back here. I didn't realize we were staring

943
00:46:35,160 --> 00:46:37,640
Speaker 1: your name names. Now. Yeah, the Cardinals are a much

944
00:46:37,680 --> 00:46:39,600
Speaker 1: better team than the Packers. I'm sorry, I'm not worried

945
00:46:39,640 --> 00:46:41,640
Speaker 1: about the Packers getting the number two so well, I mean,

946
00:46:41,719 --> 00:46:44,800
Speaker 1: are the Packers the most depressing team in the playoff

947
00:46:44,840 --> 00:46:47,000
Speaker 1: picture considering what we thought they would be a couple

948
00:46:47,040 --> 00:46:49,040
Speaker 1: of months ago in the NFC, not the a C

949
00:46:49,360 --> 00:46:52,640
Speaker 1: because they have Aaron Rodgers and because there's legitimate talent

950
00:46:52,719 --> 00:46:55,960
Speaker 1: on that defense, they can still get it together. I

951
00:46:56,239 --> 00:46:58,440
Speaker 1: know it's getting late. They did win this game on

952
00:46:58,520 --> 00:47:01,480
Speaker 1: the road against a frisky team by hand there Julius Peppers.

953
00:47:01,520 --> 00:47:04,200
Speaker 1: Like I said, Mike Neil, the defense played pretty well. Overall,

954
00:47:04,560 --> 00:47:07,080
Speaker 1: they could still get it together. It wouldn't shock anyone

955
00:47:07,200 --> 00:47:09,520
Speaker 1: if Aaron Rodgers took out one of these teams, like

956
00:47:09,560 --> 00:47:13,080
Speaker 1: the Cardinals or the Pants. It shouldn't. Anyway, they beat

957
00:47:13,120 --> 00:47:14,920
Speaker 1: the Panthers, I don't think. I don't view them as

958
00:47:14,920 --> 00:47:18,399
Speaker 1: a depressing team, but I do think they'll be picked

959
00:47:18,440 --> 00:47:22,560
Speaker 1: off in the NFC. I think going very into the season,

960
00:47:22,600 --> 00:47:24,959
Speaker 1: I thought this was their year. I think I picked

961
00:47:25,040 --> 00:47:27,279
Speaker 1: up with the Super Bowl. Who remembers anymore, but uh

962
00:47:27,719 --> 00:47:29,560
Speaker 1: now they seem like the team. It's just a matter

963
00:47:29,560 --> 00:47:32,400
Speaker 1: of time where whether they're gonna go to Arizona or

964
00:47:32,440 --> 00:47:35,000
Speaker 1: they ended up facing the Seahawks, they'll get picked off

965
00:47:35,000 --> 00:47:37,040
Speaker 1: because they're an inferior team when you get to that

966
00:47:37,120 --> 00:47:39,680
Speaker 1: upper tier the uppercross. I think Rogers played well in

967
00:47:39,760 --> 00:47:42,719
Speaker 1: the second half, and it was in a driving rainstorm,

968
00:47:42,760 --> 00:47:44,759
Speaker 1: which certainly did not help numbers. The other thing that

969
00:47:44,760 --> 00:47:47,359
Speaker 1: stuck out was Amari Cooper still in the mix there

970
00:47:47,400 --> 00:47:49,360
Speaker 1: for Rookie of the year. You can make an argument

971
00:47:49,480 --> 00:47:52,320
Speaker 1: he went over a thousand yards big game, beatd Marius

972
00:47:52,440 --> 00:47:54,359
Speaker 1: Randall another first round pick up and down the field.

973
00:47:54,480 --> 00:47:56,440
Speaker 1: But then he did have, like he said, Mark, one

974
00:47:56,680 --> 00:47:59,719
Speaker 1: key drop that killed a late third quarter drive, and

975
00:48:00,160 --> 00:48:02,080
Speaker 1: just looking back, that was a key moment in the game,

976
00:48:02,080 --> 00:48:04,600
Speaker 1: because that's right when the Packers scored on three straight drives.

977
00:48:04,719 --> 00:48:07,000
Speaker 1: I think it's a three man race for offensive rookie

978
00:48:07,000 --> 00:48:10,200
Speaker 1: of the Year with Cooper Winston, and I think that's true.

979
00:48:10,520 --> 00:48:13,600
Speaker 1: I think Winston and Girly are the leaders. But if

980
00:48:13,640 --> 00:48:16,080
Speaker 1: Cooper had a monster couple of games here down the stretch,

981
00:48:16,800 --> 00:48:22,320
Speaker 1: he could too. Greg, you're your biggest or greatest or

982
00:48:22,400 --> 00:48:27,440
Speaker 1: worst black hole experience. I'm not answering that question. I

983
00:48:27,480 --> 00:48:29,160
Speaker 1: don't want Mark Brady to be mad at Well, I've

984
00:48:29,200 --> 00:48:31,440
Speaker 1: been to that stadium. If it is the stadium, Oh

985
00:48:31,560 --> 00:48:34,160
Speaker 1: you mean the stadium? What did you think I'm talking about?

986
00:48:34,400 --> 00:48:37,520
Speaker 1: I don't know. I went to a Browns game there

987
00:48:37,520 --> 00:48:39,600
Speaker 1: and was wearing a flannel shirt because I didn't want

988
00:48:39,600 --> 00:48:41,440
Speaker 1: to be killed on the highway next to the you

989
00:48:41,480 --> 00:48:43,480
Speaker 1: know where they I've never been so I've never been,

990
00:48:43,680 --> 00:48:46,239
Speaker 1: have you. I've never been, and uh, I may never

991
00:48:46,320 --> 00:48:48,640
Speaker 1: go because this might have been the last. Uh you know,

992
00:48:48,920 --> 00:48:51,359
Speaker 1: we might be seen the last of the Raiders. That's true.

993
00:48:51,600 --> 00:48:56,120
Speaker 1: That in show respect to the people of Oakland. But

994
00:48:56,160 --> 00:48:58,200
Speaker 1: you know, no one thinks they're moving though. That's the thing. Yeah,

995
00:48:58,239 --> 00:48:59,920
Speaker 1: I don't think they are. I don't buy it at all.

996
00:49:00,040 --> 00:49:02,240
Speaker 1: And you know, they also got the Warriors. So life's

997
00:49:02,239 --> 00:49:05,040
Speaker 1: okay in the sports scene in Oakland right now. Let's

998
00:49:05,560 --> 00:49:13,880
Speaker 1: move on Seattle Seahawks. Maron, they keep rolling against the Browns.

999
00:49:13,920 --> 00:49:18,480
Speaker 1: Another big day for Russell Wilson. A thirty to win,

1000
00:49:18,920 --> 00:49:21,879
Speaker 1: Is that correct? Mark? I went to double check thank

1001
00:49:21,920 --> 00:49:25,120
Speaker 1: you over Johnny Manziel and the Browns. The victory clinches

1002
00:49:25,160 --> 00:49:29,040
Speaker 1: another playoff birth for Pete Carroll's team, Mark, Should the

1003
00:49:29,160 --> 00:49:32,360
Speaker 1: NFC be very afraid about what you're seeing with a

1004
00:49:32,440 --> 00:49:34,920
Speaker 1: Seattle Seahawk, Yeah, I mean it mirrors what we've been

1005
00:49:34,960 --> 00:49:37,719
Speaker 1: talking about with Pittsburgh. Where Seattle is going to roll

1006
00:49:37,800 --> 00:49:40,879
Speaker 1: in is some seed that you know, whether you're Arizona

1007
00:49:41,520 --> 00:49:43,680
Speaker 1: or your Carolina, you're gonna have to deal with the

1008
00:49:43,760 --> 00:49:46,279
Speaker 1: Seahawks team that is peaking hard at the right time

1009
00:49:46,320 --> 00:49:48,400
Speaker 1: and it starts with Russell Wilson, who he didn't have

1010
00:49:48,480 --> 00:49:51,480
Speaker 1: to do much today because even without Marshawn Lynch and

1011
00:49:51,520 --> 00:49:54,200
Speaker 1: without Thomas Rawls, they rolled up like a hundred and

1012
00:49:54,280 --> 00:49:56,960
Speaker 1: fifty eight yards on the ground at will. And really,

1013
00:49:57,040 --> 00:49:59,640
Speaker 1: Russell Wilson still made a series of beautiful throws. You

1014
00:49:59,680 --> 00:50:02,359
Speaker 1: see one right there if you're watching YouTube, and it's

1015
00:50:02,480 --> 00:50:05,320
Speaker 1: it's It's again. His streak over the last month is

1016
00:50:05,400 --> 00:50:08,839
Speaker 1: historic in terms of its statist, statistical nature. And they

1017
00:50:08,920 --> 00:50:10,719
Speaker 1: you know, they played a lesser opponent that I thought

1018
00:50:10,760 --> 00:50:13,279
Speaker 1: played hard for Mike Petton today, but that really just

1019
00:50:13,440 --> 00:50:16,440
Speaker 1: wasn't enough. Johnny Manziel does not have enough weapons around

1020
00:50:16,480 --> 00:50:18,560
Speaker 1: him to hang with a team like this, where you know,

1021
00:50:18,840 --> 00:50:21,160
Speaker 1: with Seattle, it's rule players right now, it's guys that

1022
00:50:21,560 --> 00:50:23,600
Speaker 1: are popping up at the right time. One guy goes down,

1023
00:50:23,680 --> 00:50:26,000
Speaker 1: someone else steps in, and they just this seems like

1024
00:50:26,080 --> 00:50:29,640
Speaker 1: a very casual victory. Nothing really massive to note of them.

1025
00:50:29,680 --> 00:50:31,920
Speaker 1: The fact that it was easy in nature for Seattle,

1026
00:50:32,160 --> 00:50:34,839
Speaker 1: and it has a role player, a former role player

1027
00:50:34,840 --> 00:50:38,680
Speaker 1: who's now a star and Doug Baldwin. Anytime you're when

1028
00:50:38,719 --> 00:50:41,319
Speaker 1: the stats says only you and Jerry Rice have done

1029
00:50:41,360 --> 00:50:43,840
Speaker 1: something you're a star, and that's that's what he is

1030
00:50:43,960 --> 00:50:46,279
Speaker 1: right now. He is as many touchdowns as any receiver. Well,

1031
00:50:46,320 --> 00:50:50,680
Speaker 1: their offense is right there with the Steelers and whatever

1032
00:50:50,800 --> 00:50:52,520
Speaker 1: often other offense you want to put right now in

1033
00:50:52,680 --> 00:50:54,360
Speaker 1: terms of peaking as one of the best offense in

1034
00:50:54,400 --> 00:50:56,480
Speaker 1: the league, I would put the Panthers there too. They

1035
00:50:56,560 --> 00:50:58,440
Speaker 1: remind me a lot of the Panthers and that you

1036
00:50:58,480 --> 00:51:00,560
Speaker 1: don't think of them as an offensive team. But right now,

1037
00:51:01,200 --> 00:51:03,520
Speaker 1: with the way those quarterbacks are playing, the yardage they're

1038
00:51:03,600 --> 00:51:05,239
Speaker 1: rolling up every week. I mean, the Panthers had four

1039
00:51:05,280 --> 00:51:08,160
Speaker 1: in a journey today. Seattle only punted once. They only

1040
00:51:08,200 --> 00:51:10,719
Speaker 1: had the ball eight times. I watched this game pretty closely, too,

1041
00:51:10,840 --> 00:51:14,399
Speaker 1: because I was curious about our little sandwich thing. Don't

1042
00:51:14,440 --> 00:51:18,120
Speaker 1: think I forgot about that cessler after our last show.

1043
00:51:18,920 --> 00:51:20,520
Speaker 1: Well you might as well tell him what. Well, we

1044
00:51:20,600 --> 00:51:22,239
Speaker 1: talked about whether it would be a close game, and

1045
00:51:22,280 --> 00:51:24,480
Speaker 1: there was a certain barometer whether that would be true

1046
00:51:24,560 --> 00:51:27,040
Speaker 1: or not. It's proved not to be true. They only

1047
00:51:27,120 --> 00:51:29,080
Speaker 1: punted it once and there was no turnovers. There's only

1048
00:51:29,120 --> 00:51:31,560
Speaker 1: eight drives in the whole game, which is exceptionally low.

1049
00:51:31,920 --> 00:51:34,720
Speaker 1: I mean, that's amazing. Every drive was a success except

1050
00:51:34,760 --> 00:51:36,320
Speaker 1: for one for the Seahawks. Every time they got the

1051
00:51:36,360 --> 00:51:38,160
Speaker 1: ball they went right down the field and if you're Cleveland,

1052
00:51:38,200 --> 00:51:40,360
Speaker 1: I mean they opened the game with a seven minute

1053
00:51:40,440 --> 00:51:42,239
Speaker 1: drive where I thought it was the best drive they've

1054
00:51:42,280 --> 00:51:45,879
Speaker 1: had in months, and Manseille looked very capable and threw

1055
00:51:45,880 --> 00:51:48,279
Speaker 1: a touchdown pass to our boy Gary Bondage, but it

1056
00:51:48,400 --> 00:51:54,640
Speaker 1: fizzled out from that. That's right, annoying touchdowns this year,

1057
00:51:55,160 --> 00:51:58,880
Speaker 1: I've got Annoin touchdowns. Having a laugh. I am not laughing.

1058
00:51:58,920 --> 00:52:04,720
Speaker 1: You're not laughing awesome either, because quits in mate, quisen

1059
00:52:07,480 --> 00:52:09,760
Speaker 1: what I would do it in an accent? But mine's

1060
00:52:09,800 --> 00:52:11,759
Speaker 1: not as good? Issue? Are you haven't a laugh? Yeah?

1061
00:52:11,760 --> 00:52:13,480
Speaker 1: I am having laugh. Do you want to hear something

1062
00:52:13,520 --> 00:52:16,320
Speaker 1: that might make you laugh? What? Yeah? Mate? You know

1063
00:52:16,320 --> 00:52:21,080
Speaker 1: what I mean? Dan, This is Gary Barnage and that

1064
00:52:21,320 --> 00:52:28,759
Speaker 1: is probably the worst British accent ever. Cheers to you.

1065
00:52:29,400 --> 00:52:32,360
Speaker 1: If you're watching, if you're listening, you really should go

1066
00:52:32,480 --> 00:52:36,320
Speaker 1: to YouTube and check out the Brown Seahawks section because

1067
00:52:36,360 --> 00:52:40,399
Speaker 1: Gary Barnage live on video in an ugly sweater. Call

1068
00:52:40,480 --> 00:52:43,719
Speaker 1: it up, Hansas. Can I see that again? Because I

1069
00:52:43,760 --> 00:52:46,359
Speaker 1: don't know if I believe it. I believe I think

1070
00:52:46,400 --> 00:52:49,160
Speaker 1: we can do that for you. Ready, Yeah, okay, because

1071
00:52:49,200 --> 00:52:52,440
Speaker 1: I think he's faking the accent. Dan, This is Gary Barnage,

1072
00:52:52,560 --> 00:52:56,040
Speaker 1: and that is probably the worst British accent I've ever heard.

1073
00:52:57,920 --> 00:53:00,640
Speaker 1: I mean, West, you're from, he's from Kentucky. You hail

1074
00:53:00,719 --> 00:53:05,920
Speaker 1: from parts close by? Sound like legit Kentucky accent to you?

1075
00:53:06,160 --> 00:53:09,680
Speaker 1: That sounds much more Kentucky than you know, uh, East

1076
00:53:09,719 --> 00:53:12,239
Speaker 1: Liverpool or something that sounds that sounded phony to me.

1077
00:53:12,280 --> 00:53:14,000
Speaker 1: That's all I'm gonna say. I don't know if that

1078
00:53:14,120 --> 00:53:17,759
Speaker 1: was an that's like a handsome hank downstairs. Whenever he

1079
00:53:17,880 --> 00:53:20,759
Speaker 1: tries to do an American accent he's from London, it

1080
00:53:20,800 --> 00:53:23,479
Speaker 1: always sounds like somebody from Texas and a made up person.

1081
00:53:24,520 --> 00:53:26,120
Speaker 1: I don't know if I buy that, but you know

1082
00:53:26,120 --> 00:53:28,920
Speaker 1: a lot. It was good to see Gary interact with

1083
00:53:28,960 --> 00:53:30,960
Speaker 1: the show. And part of the reason he did is

1084
00:53:30,960 --> 00:53:36,439
Speaker 1: all you listeners hitting up Gary Barnage constantly when yeah,

1085
00:53:36,520 --> 00:53:40,239
Speaker 1: so maybe maybe leave. But he was cool about it,

1086
00:53:40,360 --> 00:53:42,840
Speaker 1: and he he did tell one of our producers that

1087
00:53:42,960 --> 00:53:46,160
Speaker 1: David Singer, who helped set that up, that yeah, I've

1088
00:53:46,160 --> 00:53:48,400
Speaker 1: been here. I get tweets all the time about you know,

1089
00:53:48,520 --> 00:53:51,319
Speaker 1: something about a British accent or something, so I can

1090
00:53:51,360 --> 00:53:54,520
Speaker 1: only imagine how strange. I also asked to see if

1091
00:53:54,600 --> 00:53:57,640
Speaker 1: Gary could also try a British accident or maybe do

1092
00:53:57,719 --> 00:54:01,120
Speaker 1: his actual the way he speaks. He said, I don't

1093
00:54:01,160 --> 00:54:04,279
Speaker 1: have He said, I don't do accents, such a thing

1094
00:54:04,320 --> 00:54:07,080
Speaker 1: as a Twitter restraining order, because one would be coming

1095
00:54:07,120 --> 00:54:10,400
Speaker 1: your way from Gary Barnet's calling you out a career

1096
00:54:10,600 --> 00:54:14,480
Speaker 1: low light or a highlight. I would put it on

1097
00:54:14,600 --> 00:54:16,960
Speaker 1: the higher side. And this guy could lead, uh, you know,

1098
00:54:17,080 --> 00:54:19,239
Speaker 1: he could lead the a f C and touchdowns for

1099
00:54:19,280 --> 00:54:21,319
Speaker 1: a tight end. He's had a nice little season. Yes,

1100
00:54:21,440 --> 00:54:23,839
Speaker 1: I mean I think that's what's so weird about this game.

1101
00:54:23,880 --> 00:54:26,600
Speaker 1: As you see Cleveland season, you see little moments where

1102
00:54:26,640 --> 00:54:28,799
Speaker 1: maybe it's coming together, and you just wish they had

1103
00:54:28,840 --> 00:54:31,799
Speaker 1: had Manziel out there for longer because he needs more

1104
00:54:31,840 --> 00:54:33,759
Speaker 1: time to forget it. Not today. I thought he looked

1105
00:54:33,840 --> 00:54:36,439
Speaker 1: mostly pretty good in this A lot of drops. Yeah,

1106
00:54:36,760 --> 00:54:38,359
Speaker 1: we could get into that another time, but I think

1107
00:54:38,400 --> 00:54:40,080
Speaker 1: that it was it was up and down and there's

1108
00:54:40,120 --> 00:54:42,720
Speaker 1: just not enough around him. Let us move on, guys,

1109
00:54:42,800 --> 00:54:45,880
Speaker 1: we will, and thank you Gary Barnage for for that,

1110
00:54:46,640 --> 00:54:49,120
Speaker 1: even if you're not telling the truth. The Minnesota Vikings

1111
00:54:49,200 --> 00:54:52,040
Speaker 1: didn't author a dominant performance against the Bears, but you

1112
00:54:52,120 --> 00:54:54,160
Speaker 1: know what, they didn't need to against the Chicago team

1113
00:54:54,200 --> 00:54:58,920
Speaker 1: that has been regressing since their Thanksgiving upset of the Packers.

1114
00:54:59,480 --> 00:55:02,800
Speaker 1: Teddy brid Dgewater had four touchdowns on the day, just

1115
00:55:03,000 --> 00:55:07,200
Speaker 1: three incompletions. Pastor posted a passerading north of one fifty,

1116
00:55:07,520 --> 00:55:10,400
Speaker 1: the most efficient game of his career. So this was

1117
00:55:10,480 --> 00:55:12,560
Speaker 1: the Bridgewater the Vikings were hoping to see more of

1118
00:55:12,680 --> 00:55:15,000
Speaker 1: this season. He entered this game and I don't know

1119
00:55:15,080 --> 00:55:17,400
Speaker 1: if a lot of people are have been tracking what

1120
00:55:17,880 --> 00:55:20,359
Speaker 1: Teddy Bridgewater has been doing this season, but he entered

1121
00:55:20,400 --> 00:55:22,080
Speaker 1: this game and I think he started every game or

1122
00:55:22,200 --> 00:55:26,640
Speaker 1: close to it with nine passing touchdowns. And I know that, Uh,

1123
00:55:26,760 --> 00:55:28,560
Speaker 1: this is a team, it's an Adrian Peterson. It's a

1124
00:55:28,640 --> 00:55:31,040
Speaker 1: run first operation. But you've got to be a little

1125
00:55:31,040 --> 00:55:34,040
Speaker 1: more dynamic as a passer. So what what they saw

1126
00:55:34,160 --> 00:55:36,439
Speaker 1: today and him just putting the ball on the money

1127
00:55:36,520 --> 00:55:39,680
Speaker 1: all day, this is exactly what they need him to

1128
00:55:39,760 --> 00:55:41,719
Speaker 1: be a little more dangerous with the ball in his

1129
00:55:41,800 --> 00:55:44,920
Speaker 1: hand and ability to make plays. Find Stefan Diggs, who

1130
00:55:44,920 --> 00:55:48,320
Speaker 1: hadn't scored in six weeks, had two touchdowns today. Adrian

1131
00:55:48,360 --> 00:55:51,239
Speaker 1: Peterson turned his ankle in this game, missed about a

1132
00:55:51,239 --> 00:55:53,560
Speaker 1: half a quarter and only finished with sixty three yards.

1133
00:55:53,800 --> 00:55:55,680
Speaker 1: So in a day where Peterson was banged up and

1134
00:55:55,719 --> 00:55:58,680
Speaker 1: didn't have a big day, Teddy Bridgewater carried the offense

1135
00:55:59,000 --> 00:56:01,480
Speaker 1: and because of that, at at nine and five, the

1136
00:56:01,640 --> 00:56:03,920
Speaker 1: Vikings are almost certainly going to the postseason. What I

1137
00:56:04,000 --> 00:56:06,600
Speaker 1: want to know about the Vikings offense is whether today

1138
00:56:07,120 --> 00:56:11,280
Speaker 1: is an aberration where suddenly everything went right for Teddy Bridgewater,

1139
00:56:11,719 --> 00:56:14,360
Speaker 1: or if it's another it is, or it is actually

1140
00:56:14,440 --> 00:56:17,279
Speaker 1: the beginning of something where Bridgewater starts to show more

1141
00:56:17,360 --> 00:56:19,440
Speaker 1: development and we get more of these games down the

1142
00:56:19,480 --> 00:56:22,200
Speaker 1: stretch which is not much longer and next season, because

1143
00:56:23,120 --> 00:56:26,000
Speaker 1: this is clearly a step back for Bridgewater with Adrian

1144
00:56:26,040 --> 00:56:30,080
Speaker 1: Peterson on this offense, and yet and yet it sort

1145
00:56:30,080 --> 00:56:32,200
Speaker 1: of doesn't matter right now if they can close strong,

1146
00:56:32,320 --> 00:56:34,640
Speaker 1: like you said, because we said I think it started

1147
00:56:34,719 --> 00:56:36,839
Speaker 1: last week. I think that was Teddy bridge Waters best

1148
00:56:36,880 --> 00:56:39,360
Speaker 1: game of the season. And I think they're yeah against

1149
00:56:39,360 --> 00:56:41,600
Speaker 1: the Cardinals, and I think they played well as a

1150
00:56:41,640 --> 00:56:45,760
Speaker 1: team overall. So that's too really positive performances for Bridgewater

1151
00:56:45,960 --> 00:56:49,840
Speaker 1: and the team to beat Chicago handily. This was not

1152
00:56:49,960 --> 00:56:51,560
Speaker 1: the type of game that they've been doing earlier in

1153
00:56:51,600 --> 00:56:53,560
Speaker 1: the season. Even when they were winning all those games,

1154
00:56:53,719 --> 00:56:57,160
Speaker 1: they weren't crushing opponents. So for them to take care

1155
00:56:57,239 --> 00:56:59,680
Speaker 1: of a Bears team at home and crush them, that

1156
00:56:59,719 --> 00:57:01,880
Speaker 1: makes you think, Okay, they get that six seed. You

1157
00:57:01,920 --> 00:57:04,319
Speaker 1: never know. They can be a little frisky and that. Yeah,

1158
00:57:04,440 --> 00:57:08,319
Speaker 1: especially Bridgewater continues to grow, they could be a tough out.

1159
00:57:08,400 --> 00:57:10,480
Speaker 1: It's a tough conference. I mean, there's gonna be some

1160
00:57:10,880 --> 00:57:13,719
Speaker 1: really good teams in the playoffs. But yeah, if he's

1161
00:57:13,840 --> 00:57:16,200
Speaker 1: carrying his weight, they could be sneaky, especially if they

1162
00:57:16,240 --> 00:57:18,560
Speaker 1: get healthy. They can win the division. They can go

1163
00:57:18,640 --> 00:57:20,840
Speaker 1: to Green Bay and try to win that Week seventeen game.

1164
00:57:20,880 --> 00:57:22,800
Speaker 1: They're they're not out of it. Or they could for

1165
00:57:22,880 --> 00:57:25,000
Speaker 1: the second time in a few years, play Green Bay

1166
00:57:25,040 --> 00:57:26,680
Speaker 1: in Week seventeen and in the first round of the

1167
00:57:26,720 --> 00:57:33,320
Speaker 1: PLAYOFFSID chance that happened. They're gonna have to deal with

1168
00:57:33,480 --> 00:57:36,440
Speaker 1: an absolute rug and matchup no matter how it shakes out.

1169
00:57:36,800 --> 00:57:38,960
Speaker 1: I mean, their road couldn't be any tougher. So we'll

1170
00:57:38,960 --> 00:57:41,360
Speaker 1: see what happens with this team. In the Adventures of

1171
00:57:41,480 --> 00:57:45,600
Speaker 1: head Scratching color Guy Talk, at one point Adam Gaze,

1172
00:57:45,600 --> 00:57:47,360
Speaker 1: who you know, we've heard a lot of talk about

1173
00:57:47,640 --> 00:57:50,240
Speaker 1: the Bears offense corner Adam Gaze and his future is

1174
00:57:50,280 --> 00:57:53,120
Speaker 1: maybe a hot coaching candidate. Mark, I know you, you're

1175
00:57:53,440 --> 00:57:56,280
Speaker 1: you're humored by all the Gaze talk. That happens a lot.

1176
00:57:56,400 --> 00:58:00,600
Speaker 1: John lynch Uh said today that whatever team Shire's Adam

1177
00:58:00,680 --> 00:58:02,840
Speaker 1: Gates and he has to be the most attractive guy

1178
00:58:02,880 --> 00:58:04,880
Speaker 1: in the market, will have a coach for the next

1179
00:58:04,920 --> 00:58:11,320
Speaker 1: twelve years. I found that funny. Well, that's ridiculous. Coaching

1180
00:58:11,400 --> 00:58:16,800
Speaker 1: hires don't go even one fourth of that's so exactly.

1181
00:58:16,920 --> 00:58:19,840
Speaker 1: So yeah, and I don't know John Fox that and

1182
00:58:19,960 --> 00:58:22,160
Speaker 1: you must be and Greg, I know you you do

1183
00:58:22,320 --> 00:58:26,640
Speaker 1: not like John Fox. So seeing that the finish line,

1184
00:58:26,960 --> 00:58:29,880
Speaker 1: you've got to be feeling good. That doesn't make me good.

1185
00:58:30,080 --> 00:58:34,760
Speaker 1: They've done a solid job this year about what you'd expect. Yeah, Well,

1186
00:58:35,040 --> 00:58:37,920
Speaker 1: John Fox and Jeff Fisher are the are the co

1187
00:58:38,240 --> 00:58:42,040
Speaker 1: presidents of the media. Kisses up to us because we

1188
00:58:42,520 --> 00:58:45,200
Speaker 1: forge relationships with them. And that's the part that I

1189
00:58:45,320 --> 00:58:47,560
Speaker 1: really don't like. They're probably nice. There's five and nine.

1190
00:58:47,600 --> 00:58:49,760
Speaker 1: I think we thought they could be you know, one

1191
00:58:49,800 --> 00:58:52,360
Speaker 1: in thirteen right now, are you ready to talk about

1192
00:58:52,360 --> 00:58:55,919
Speaker 1: the sandwich situation. We'll take a little break here, Greg. Yeah,

1193
00:58:56,120 --> 00:58:59,640
Speaker 1: you went oh and nine today. One of those we've

1194
00:58:59,680 --> 00:59:02,520
Speaker 1: deterved was I would have won because I didn't bet.

1195
00:59:02,640 --> 00:59:04,600
Speaker 1: I didn't say that. We don't bet it did not

1196
00:59:04,760 --> 00:59:06,840
Speaker 1: make the playoffs. But that's beside the point. Either way.

1197
00:59:07,040 --> 00:59:09,320
Speaker 1: I'm handing out sandwich into the whole crew. We've kind

1198
00:59:09,320 --> 00:59:13,520
Speaker 1: of each taken turns beings. Don't let don't let it

1199
00:59:14,080 --> 00:59:17,320
Speaker 1: realize with us anymore because this stuff means so much

1200
00:59:17,360 --> 00:59:20,360
Speaker 1: to him. To lose nine sounds in one day. Sandwich

1201
00:59:20,440 --> 00:59:22,760
Speaker 1: thing is nonsense. You can't take too much pride or

1202
00:59:23,000 --> 00:59:25,280
Speaker 1: not in the in the sands thing. It's but I

1203
00:59:25,320 --> 00:59:28,240
Speaker 1: don't a word of that. Let's see what you lost

1204
00:59:28,400 --> 00:59:31,360
Speaker 1: when it comes to predicting football. Greg takes a lot

1205
00:59:31,440 --> 00:59:34,560
Speaker 1: of pride in that. So you lost, just participate. Wait,

1206
00:59:34,640 --> 00:59:37,520
Speaker 1: what did he lose today? He lost the Ramsell finish

1207
00:59:37,560 --> 00:59:39,720
Speaker 1: in first or second place at the NFC West. Was

1208
00:59:39,800 --> 00:59:42,840
Speaker 1: that clinch tonight? He lost some sandwiches to me. Kirk Cousins,

1209
00:59:43,280 --> 00:59:47,320
Speaker 1: Kirk Cousins, Austin Davis starts mortgage. It's also about the

1210
00:59:47,640 --> 00:59:50,720
Speaker 1: mid third quarter of all these wagers coming up so

1211
00:59:50,760 --> 00:59:52,560
Speaker 1: why don't we why don't we recap it at the

1212
00:59:52,640 --> 00:59:55,120
Speaker 1: end and just see see what it's at You do care,

1213
00:59:55,720 --> 00:59:59,120
Speaker 1: Let's change the topic. He's saying. Listen, I will, I will,

1214
00:59:59,160 --> 01:00:01,760
Speaker 1: not saying this militia leave. But when go get your

1215
01:00:02,240 --> 01:00:04,880
Speaker 1: go get my lunch dot org, an account run by

1216
01:00:04,960 --> 01:00:07,920
Speaker 1: Nick Fotier, when he tweets out that you went oh

1217
01:00:08,000 --> 01:00:12,360
Speaker 1: and nine, that's noteworthy, that's pretty blad. I had the

1218
01:00:12,440 --> 01:00:15,320
Speaker 1: best sandwich record by not by far, but I had

1219
01:00:15,320 --> 01:00:17,760
Speaker 1: the best sandwich going into this round. And I will

1220
01:00:17,800 --> 01:00:19,400
Speaker 1: know a lot. And that's coming from someone who's not

1221
01:00:19,520 --> 01:00:26,439
Speaker 1: keeping trapped right, he doesn't care. Uh well, West West

1222
01:00:26,520 --> 01:00:28,920
Speaker 1: right now is five and one. Yeah, and yeah, you're right,

1223
01:00:29,040 --> 01:00:33,200
Speaker 1: we will. Half of them are still up in the

1224
01:00:33,240 --> 01:00:37,120
Speaker 1: air exactly. But right now Sessler's four and five, Greg

1225
01:00:37,320 --> 01:00:40,680
Speaker 1: is one in nine. I am seven and two, one

1226
01:00:40,760 --> 01:00:44,920
Speaker 1: and nine. That's like Dan hansis is draft performance. And

1227
01:00:45,040 --> 01:00:47,640
Speaker 1: like I said, as everyone knows famously, I said, when

1228
01:00:47,640 --> 01:00:49,959
Speaker 1: the regular season starts, that's when the old juser starts

1229
01:00:50,320 --> 01:00:54,040
Speaker 1: say that's what's happening here. And the irishman Brandon McGinnis,

1230
01:00:54,520 --> 01:00:57,720
Speaker 1: we will never forget you. He will lose three sandwiches.

1231
01:00:57,760 --> 01:01:00,400
Speaker 1: He said, Tony Romo has more passing yards than e Manning.

1232
01:01:00,600 --> 01:01:02,880
Speaker 1: We'll dig into all that after the season, but he

1233
01:01:03,160 --> 01:01:06,520
Speaker 1: if we ever see Brandon again, will be chomping. He's

1234
01:01:06,640 --> 01:01:09,360
Speaker 1: under pressure now because our old producer, gold Standard, has

1235
01:01:09,400 --> 01:01:11,320
Speaker 1: been on the Twitter lines with us and is actually

1236
01:01:11,440 --> 01:01:14,960
Speaker 1: from a distant country sending us sandwiches tomorrow, not from

1237
01:01:14,960 --> 01:01:16,920
Speaker 1: a distant country, from a local place. He's in a

1238
01:01:16,960 --> 01:01:23,120
Speaker 1: distant country. The gold Standard called the moving on guys,

1239
01:01:23,200 --> 01:01:26,720
Speaker 1: So yes, let's move on. The Chargers may have played

1240
01:01:26,720 --> 01:01:29,760
Speaker 1: their final game in San Diego on Sunday. If so,

1241
01:01:29,880 --> 01:01:32,320
Speaker 1: they went out a winner, a thirty fourteen victory over

1242
01:01:32,400 --> 01:01:36,960
Speaker 1: the dreadful Dolphins. Did you start Danny Woodhead in your

1243
01:01:37,000 --> 01:01:40,320
Speaker 1: fantasy playoffs? Anyone here, anyone here going once, going twice?

1244
01:01:40,800 --> 01:01:43,360
Speaker 1: If so, congrats on your victory. Four touchdowns are Danny

1245
01:01:43,360 --> 01:01:48,240
Speaker 1: Woodhead and the Chargers roll well. Andy Hagman, one of

1246
01:01:48,320 --> 01:01:53,480
Speaker 1: our writers and UH Desk editors, went down to San

1247
01:01:53,560 --> 01:01:56,240
Speaker 1: Diego and and talked with some of the season ticket holders,

1248
01:01:56,280 --> 01:01:57,720
Speaker 1: and she wrote a good piece just about what a

1249
01:01:58,280 --> 01:02:00,600
Speaker 1: sad day it is down in Saying Diego. A lot

1250
01:02:00,680 --> 01:02:04,240
Speaker 1: of emotions, uh. She said it was almost like, you know,

1251
01:02:04,400 --> 01:02:07,240
Speaker 1: just in their mind, you know, going going to a

1252
01:02:07,320 --> 01:02:10,040
Speaker 1: funeral and uh, a lot of emotions. And you saw

1253
01:02:10,120 --> 01:02:13,160
Speaker 1: Philip Rivers after the game getting choked up when he

1254
01:02:13,200 --> 01:02:15,960
Speaker 1: spoke to the media. You saw Eric Wettle and other

1255
01:02:16,080 --> 01:02:18,160
Speaker 1: players spending a lot of time with the fans and

1256
01:02:18,240 --> 01:02:21,040
Speaker 1: taking pictures after the game. Unlike in Oakland and St. Louis,

1257
01:02:21,280 --> 01:02:24,320
Speaker 1: there's a real palpable feeling this was it and if

1258
01:02:24,400 --> 01:02:26,640
Speaker 1: nothing else, they went out with a big win. At

1259
01:02:26,680 --> 01:02:28,600
Speaker 1: least could have some fun in their last game. Well,

1260
01:02:28,600 --> 01:02:30,880
Speaker 1: a funeral makes sense because the both of these teams

1261
01:02:30,920 --> 01:02:33,640
Speaker 1: are a corpse at this point. But I feel for

1262
01:02:33,800 --> 01:02:37,640
Speaker 1: Chargers fans because this win doesn't have it's not attached

1263
01:02:37,680 --> 01:02:39,760
Speaker 1: to more meaning it would be great. We thought this

1264
01:02:39,920 --> 01:02:42,600
Speaker 1: Chargers team could do more this season after what McCoy

1265
01:02:42,640 --> 01:02:45,120
Speaker 1: had operated with over the last two years, and instead

1266
01:02:45,160 --> 01:02:47,320
Speaker 1: it's a hollow way to go out in your old building.

1267
01:02:47,760 --> 01:02:51,640
Speaker 1: That said, we feel for the San Diego fans. It's

1268
01:02:51,680 --> 01:02:53,680
Speaker 1: not this side of the business. Having been a Browns

1269
01:02:53,720 --> 01:02:56,160
Speaker 1: fan that went through this, it is that you feel

1270
01:02:56,200 --> 01:02:58,400
Speaker 1: powerless and you just don't know what's next. The fans

1271
01:02:58,520 --> 01:03:01,880
Speaker 1: can they cannot like what's going on at a higher

1272
01:03:02,040 --> 01:03:04,600
Speaker 1: level and with politics in the area, but they like

1273
01:03:04,760 --> 01:03:08,760
Speaker 1: the players and its something to be happy about. The

1274
01:03:08,880 --> 01:03:13,160
Speaker 1: River said. After twelve years, he recollected Peyton Manning leaving

1275
01:03:13,160 --> 01:03:15,360
Speaker 1: Indianapolis and said, you kind of feel like the quarterback

1276
01:03:15,400 --> 01:03:17,440
Speaker 1: of the city. And that's what he said he feels,

1277
01:03:17,440 --> 01:03:19,000
Speaker 1: and that's where he started to get a little motion.

1278
01:03:19,080 --> 01:03:21,200
Speaker 1: The only way this move is a little bit less

1279
01:03:21,280 --> 01:03:23,360
Speaker 1: harsh is the fact that if you're in San Diego

1280
01:03:23,600 --> 01:03:26,840
Speaker 1: and they moved to l A, you can still get

1281
01:03:26,920 --> 01:03:29,000
Speaker 1: to a bunch of games. It's still in your region.

1282
01:03:29,080 --> 01:03:31,600
Speaker 1: I'm not I'm not your community anymore. I'm not. I'm

1283
01:03:31,640 --> 01:03:33,760
Speaker 1: not downsizing it at all, but I'm just it could

1284
01:03:33,760 --> 01:03:36,000
Speaker 1: almost be worse though, too, in some level, like where

1285
01:03:36,040 --> 01:03:38,440
Speaker 1: it's because there is an l A San Diego and

1286
01:03:38,560 --> 01:03:41,640
Speaker 1: one call rivalry, but they are very different places. And

1287
01:03:41,720 --> 01:03:45,120
Speaker 1: then to lose your team to the Los Angeles market,

1288
01:03:45,240 --> 01:03:47,640
Speaker 1: that's a that's a kick. No, we're not. It's it sucks,

1289
01:03:47,720 --> 01:03:50,200
Speaker 1: and we all think it sucks, but it's just like it's, well,

1290
01:03:50,240 --> 01:03:51,680
Speaker 1: I don't know what you say at this point. Well,

1291
01:03:51,880 --> 01:03:54,080
Speaker 1: I'll tell you what I think. I think it the

1292
01:03:54,280 --> 01:04:06,960
Speaker 1: occasion calls for it. Maybe they listening San Diego super Chargers,

1293
01:04:08,080 --> 01:04:21,800
Speaker 1: San Diego super Chick that just felt it was important.

1294
01:04:21,840 --> 01:04:24,320
Speaker 1: I mean, to be attached to an earphone when that

1295
01:04:24,600 --> 01:04:26,880
Speaker 1: is a rugged way to go out. What a tribute

1296
01:04:26,920 --> 01:04:30,640
Speaker 1: by you. I mean you think that's like Whitney Houston

1297
01:04:31,080 --> 01:04:34,960
Speaker 1: star Spangled banner, Dan Hansa's Chargers right there for me.

1298
01:04:35,440 --> 01:04:39,080
Speaker 1: You know, listen, I don't bring the Falsetto out often,

1299
01:04:39,840 --> 01:04:42,280
Speaker 1: but that is those are good people in San Diego

1300
01:04:42,720 --> 01:04:48,640
Speaker 1: and the Falsetto. I listen, I could use a break,

1301
01:04:48,680 --> 01:04:50,760
Speaker 1: like if we could shut down the show and just

1302
01:04:50,920 --> 01:04:54,000
Speaker 1: like post the rest of the show. Mark alright. Next

1303
01:04:54,120 --> 01:04:57,080
Speaker 1: up a huge matchup in Buffalo, Dan take it from here.

1304
01:04:57,840 --> 01:05:02,200
Speaker 1: Actually was in Washington. All right, that's what I needed

1305
01:05:02,240 --> 01:05:06,440
Speaker 1: to get back in the saddle. Yes, the Washington Redskins.

1306
01:05:07,320 --> 01:05:10,200
Speaker 1: Uh did we talk about this game? Well, I actually

1307
01:05:10,320 --> 01:05:12,880
Speaker 1: seamlessly lad you outside of getting the stadium wrong into

1308
01:05:12,920 --> 01:05:16,400
Speaker 1: our next matchup. Yeah, then Washington Redskins. They remain in

1309
01:05:16,480 --> 01:05:18,800
Speaker 1: the driver's seat in the NFC East. They knocked off

1310
01:05:18,840 --> 01:05:22,160
Speaker 1: the Bills thirty on Sunday. This was a game that

1311
01:05:22,560 --> 01:05:28,240
Speaker 1: eliminated Buffalo um from playoff contention, which is really sizzler.

1312
01:05:28,480 --> 01:05:30,960
Speaker 1: Christmas comes early when Rex gets his come up, it's

1313
01:05:31,360 --> 01:05:34,400
Speaker 1: against his new favorite team, the Redskins and Kirk Cousins,

1314
01:05:34,440 --> 01:05:38,520
Speaker 1: who had another big day, Kirk Cousins shredding Rex's could

1315
01:05:38,560 --> 01:05:41,280
Speaker 1: you think of a better scenario for you? Mark? And

1316
01:05:41,400 --> 01:05:46,320
Speaker 1: another last year in Cleveland, but in December, five days

1317
01:05:46,360 --> 01:05:50,800
Speaker 1: before Christmas, Cousins your boy Shredd and Rex and send

1318
01:05:50,880 --> 01:05:53,080
Speaker 1: it him home. Well, I said, you know, earlier in

1319
01:05:53,120 --> 01:05:55,720
Speaker 1: the week, I wanted to cover this game, and it delivered.

1320
01:05:56,440 --> 01:05:58,600
Speaker 1: It really delivered. I thought that, you know, if you're

1321
01:05:58,680 --> 01:06:00,400
Speaker 1: on that side of the Kirk Cousin in his train

1322
01:06:00,440 --> 01:06:02,560
Speaker 1: where you feel like you know, it's not just some

1323
01:06:02,800 --> 01:06:05,760
Speaker 1: game manager. There are moments from Kirk Cousins where he

1324
01:06:05,960 --> 01:06:08,360
Speaker 1: looks like he could grow and develop into something more.

1325
01:06:08,800 --> 01:06:10,800
Speaker 1: This is your tape that you just want to put

1326
01:06:10,880 --> 01:06:12,920
Speaker 1: on loop over and over. And it has a lot

1327
01:06:13,000 --> 01:06:15,440
Speaker 1: to do with with Jay Gruden today, who I think

1328
01:06:15,480 --> 01:06:19,320
Speaker 1: put pedal the metal the entire time, aggressive downfield passing,

1329
01:06:19,760 --> 01:06:22,200
Speaker 1: Jordan's read de Sean Jackson had the game of their

1330
01:06:22,280 --> 01:06:25,200
Speaker 1: lives that came together. They just they fried this defense.

1331
01:06:25,280 --> 01:06:28,120
Speaker 1: It was an embarrassing showing. If you're a Bills fan,

1332
01:06:28,200 --> 01:06:30,000
Speaker 1: You're not going to forget what happened here. And I

1333
01:06:30,040 --> 01:06:32,040
Speaker 1: don't even know what Rex said after this game. There

1334
01:06:32,120 --> 01:06:34,080
Speaker 1: are no excuse. There was a lot of talk in

1335
01:06:34,160 --> 01:06:36,520
Speaker 1: the locker room, the Bills locker room after this game.

1336
01:06:37,000 --> 01:06:40,040
Speaker 1: I know, um Sammy Watkins spoke up amongst several other

1337
01:06:40,120 --> 01:06:44,160
Speaker 1: guys that clearly that people are very unhappy, but that

1338
01:06:44,280 --> 01:06:46,360
Speaker 1: this season got away from them because I think they

1339
01:06:46,400 --> 01:06:48,960
Speaker 1: all thought if maybe they were coach better or were

1340
01:06:49,000 --> 01:06:51,440
Speaker 1: they executed better, that this was a playoff team and

1341
01:06:51,520 --> 01:06:53,959
Speaker 1: obviously it's not meant to be. Yeah. Mario Williams straight

1342
01:06:54,080 --> 01:06:57,840
Speaker 1: called out the coaching staff for too much substituting when

1343
01:06:57,880 --> 01:07:01,800
Speaker 1: the other team substituting late, so essentially saying they're calling

1344
01:07:01,840 --> 01:07:04,720
Speaker 1: defensive players players off the field way too late after

1345
01:07:04,840 --> 01:07:07,760
Speaker 1: they see the offensive substitutions. There's a lot of confusion.

1346
01:07:07,840 --> 01:07:11,360
Speaker 1: Put it on the coaches. He also called out insurgents.

1347
01:07:11,680 --> 01:07:13,280
Speaker 1: This is the type of thing I think Mark would

1348
01:07:13,280 --> 01:07:16,480
Speaker 1: be excited about. He called out the insurgents in the

1349
01:07:16,560 --> 01:07:20,160
Speaker 1: Bills organization who are talking to our guy Ian Rappaport

1350
01:07:20,400 --> 01:07:25,880
Speaker 1: about his own uture. Because I before Sunday reported that

1351
01:07:25,960 --> 01:07:28,000
Speaker 1: Mario Williams was gonna be on his way out, too

1352
01:07:28,040 --> 01:07:30,800
Speaker 1: big of a salary, this and that, and Williams did

1353
01:07:30,880 --> 01:07:35,080
Speaker 1: not like those insurgents. Not pretty. I mean the Bills.

1354
01:07:35,240 --> 01:07:37,680
Speaker 1: The Bills are just like They've got a lot of talent,

1355
01:07:37,720 --> 01:07:40,640
Speaker 1: and especially on defense. If you had given Rex Ryan

1356
01:07:40,720 --> 01:07:42,919
Speaker 1: this offense back when he of the two thousand nine,

1357
01:07:43,160 --> 01:07:45,840
Speaker 1: two thousand ten Jets, they're in the Super Bowl, Well,

1358
01:07:45,920 --> 01:07:48,480
Speaker 1: we keep saying that about it. This isn't that defense anymore.

1359
01:07:48,480 --> 01:07:50,920
Speaker 1: They're missing about three or four of their best six players.

1360
01:07:51,200 --> 01:07:55,440
Speaker 1: Just just it's worth pointing out. It's still with the

1361
01:07:55,480 --> 01:07:58,680
Speaker 1: exception of last year when John DIDs sabotaged him completely

1362
01:07:58,720 --> 01:08:01,480
Speaker 1: in my opinion, But that's what this season has been

1363
01:08:01,520 --> 01:08:03,920
Speaker 1: so strange because he finally gets a quarterback in Tyrod

1364
01:08:03,960 --> 01:08:08,080
Speaker 1: Tell had played poorly today if I'm not mistaken, Yeah,

1365
01:08:08,240 --> 01:08:10,640
Speaker 1: and you know, and I know the Shawn McCoy got hurt.

1366
01:08:10,680 --> 01:08:13,040
Speaker 1: So there's there's issues with this team, but in general,

1367
01:08:13,080 --> 01:08:15,920
Speaker 1: the fact that the offense actually did some things this season,

1368
01:08:15,960 --> 01:08:17,800
Speaker 1: it was the defense that led him down. And you've

1369
01:08:17,880 --> 01:08:21,080
Speaker 1: never heard in all the years Rex was in New

1370
01:08:21,200 --> 01:08:23,920
Speaker 1: York and he was beloved in Baltimore as well, you've

1371
01:08:23,920 --> 01:08:26,519
Speaker 1: never heard anyone complain about his scheme. So it's so

1372
01:08:26,640 --> 01:08:29,040
Speaker 1: strange to me that this would happen in Buffalo. Although

1373
01:08:29,080 --> 01:08:31,920
Speaker 1: you look at Cleveland and that scheme, which is in

1374
01:08:32,080 --> 01:08:34,760
Speaker 1: theory a mirror of this scheme, is getting fried, and

1375
01:08:34,800 --> 01:08:37,719
Speaker 1: there are similar complaints and whispers that it's too complex.

1376
01:08:37,800 --> 01:08:40,160
Speaker 1: It's overly complex for what it is, and it's not

1377
01:08:40,400 --> 01:08:43,679
Speaker 1: friendly for pass rushers, and so maybe the league catches.

1378
01:08:43,760 --> 01:08:46,000
Speaker 1: The league does catch up with stuff after a while,

1379
01:08:46,240 --> 01:08:48,360
Speaker 1: and either you adjust or everyone is going to adjust

1380
01:08:48,400 --> 01:08:50,560
Speaker 1: and start to crush you. More disturbing to me is

1381
01:08:50,560 --> 01:08:53,000
Speaker 1: there an unlikable team and they have been all year.

1382
01:08:53,280 --> 01:08:55,640
Speaker 1: They talked too much, they run their mouth and then

1383
01:08:55,640 --> 01:08:58,000
Speaker 1: they go out and commit penalties and don't back up

1384
01:08:58,000 --> 01:09:01,320
Speaker 1: anything they or their coach and Mark view like this experience.

1385
01:09:01,520 --> 01:09:04,599
Speaker 1: How about I give you a little Christmas Eve President

1386
01:09:04,680 --> 01:09:06,960
Speaker 1: on the way, it's the day after Christmas even better.

1387
01:09:07,080 --> 01:09:09,240
Speaker 1: You're just you know, you got all your presents, You've

1388
01:09:09,280 --> 01:09:12,240
Speaker 1: had a nice day. Turn on the old TV watch

1389
01:09:12,400 --> 01:09:16,760
Speaker 1: Redskins Eagles on Saturday Night Football on NFL Network. They

1390
01:09:16,880 --> 01:09:19,360
Speaker 1: win that game, it's about over and the Redskins are

1391
01:09:19,360 --> 01:09:21,360
Speaker 1: going to the playoffs if they win that game. Are

1392
01:09:21,400 --> 01:09:23,960
Speaker 1: you just starting to picture Jay Gruden at the podium. Well,

1393
01:09:24,000 --> 01:09:29,559
Speaker 1: they're the favorites right now. They are favorite. I can't

1394
01:09:29,600 --> 01:09:32,439
Speaker 1: sit well, it's gonna happened. I know I might have

1395
01:09:32,520 --> 01:09:34,479
Speaker 1: to be well. I have to see if they that

1396
01:09:34,560 --> 01:09:38,680
Speaker 1: game you mentioned to Sean Jackson and Jorgan Reid, I

1397
01:09:38,720 --> 01:09:41,320
Speaker 1: mean Kirk Cousins, and we said this olier in the year,

1398
01:09:41,360 --> 01:09:43,320
Speaker 1: with all the injuries the Redskins say had he averaged

1399
01:09:43,320 --> 01:09:45,080
Speaker 1: six and a half yards per attempt in the first

1400
01:09:45,120 --> 01:09:47,519
Speaker 1: seven games this season, He's averaged a nine yards per

1401
01:09:47,560 --> 01:09:49,920
Speaker 1: attempt since Jackson and read got help you over the

1402
01:09:50,000 --> 01:09:53,519
Speaker 1: last seven games. I think Gruden some credit. Give him credit,

1403
01:09:53,600 --> 01:09:55,479
Speaker 1: Give Gruden credit, give me offense. I think they've done

1404
01:09:55,479 --> 01:09:58,240
Speaker 1: a really nice job touchdowns at home since his last pick,

1405
01:09:58,280 --> 01:10:00,759
Speaker 1: which is way back when I mean Cousins, the second

1406
01:10:00,800 --> 01:10:04,240
Speaker 1: half of his season has been what they needed. And

1407
01:10:04,439 --> 01:10:06,759
Speaker 1: they are right now the best team in this division

1408
01:10:07,240 --> 01:10:09,639
Speaker 1: because I can't try Giant and they get to prove

1409
01:10:09,680 --> 01:10:11,720
Speaker 1: it next week. You take care of business against the

1410
01:10:11,800 --> 01:10:15,160
Speaker 1: Eagles and it's yours. Basically, Yeah, there's no yeah, that's

1411
01:10:15,200 --> 01:10:18,120
Speaker 1: the one thing this They have now put themselves in

1412
01:10:18,240 --> 01:10:20,040
Speaker 1: the position to take this thing. Now, they just got

1413
01:10:20,160 --> 01:10:23,479
Speaker 1: a close. It's the NFC, so there's no guarantee of

1414
01:10:23,520 --> 01:10:26,839
Speaker 1: that it alright, which takes us to Sunday night football.

1415
01:10:27,080 --> 01:10:29,800
Speaker 1: The Arizona Cardinals, traveling to Philadelphia, had to take on

1416
01:10:29,920 --> 01:10:33,120
Speaker 1: the Eagles with a chance to clinch the NFC West.

1417
01:10:33,360 --> 01:10:35,800
Speaker 1: It looked like a mismatchup paper and that's exactly what

1418
01:10:35,960 --> 01:10:38,880
Speaker 1: it turned out to be, a forty to seventeen win

1419
01:10:39,360 --> 01:10:42,120
Speaker 1: for the Cardinals, a game where Carson Palmer has been

1420
01:10:42,160 --> 01:10:44,080
Speaker 1: doing m v P like things all season. This was

1421
01:10:44,200 --> 01:10:47,200
Speaker 1: not about Carson Palmer on the offensive side of ball.

1422
01:10:47,400 --> 01:10:51,519
Speaker 1: It was David Johnson, who ran for attempts a hundred

1423
01:10:51,600 --> 01:10:55,560
Speaker 1: eighty seven yards, three touchdowns, added forty two yards and

1424
01:10:55,600 --> 01:10:59,000
Speaker 1: four catches through the air. So a special career type

1425
01:10:59,040 --> 01:11:02,200
Speaker 1: of day for Johnson, who has really stepped in for

1426
01:11:02,320 --> 01:11:05,519
Speaker 1: Chris Johnson and has taken over that role. The Eagles, meanwhile,

1427
01:11:05,720 --> 01:11:08,599
Speaker 1: fall to six and eight dire straits in the NFC

1428
01:11:08,800 --> 01:11:10,880
Speaker 1: East race. They need to win out most likely and

1429
01:11:10,960 --> 01:11:13,680
Speaker 1: get help at this point the Cardinals twelve and to

1430
01:11:13,880 --> 01:11:17,320
Speaker 1: knock the Seahawks off in the NFC West West. You

1431
01:11:17,439 --> 01:11:20,639
Speaker 1: love this team. We love this team. To keep on pounded.

1432
01:11:20,920 --> 01:11:24,559
Speaker 1: David Johnson was as impressive as any rookie performance all season,

1433
01:11:25,200 --> 01:11:27,000
Speaker 1: and we said when he went down he could be

1434
01:11:27,080 --> 01:11:29,760
Speaker 1: an upgrade on Chris Johnson. And he saw the physicality,

1435
01:11:29,920 --> 01:11:32,479
Speaker 1: had that forty seven yard touchdown run that looked like

1436
01:11:32,560 --> 01:11:34,880
Speaker 1: something out of Mars Shawn Lynch's career. And then you

1437
01:11:34,960 --> 01:11:38,000
Speaker 1: also have Darren Fell's dragging Byron Maxwell for twenty yards.

1438
01:11:38,320 --> 01:11:41,080
Speaker 1: The Cardinals were the more physical team in this game. Yeah.

1439
01:11:41,160 --> 01:11:42,800
Speaker 1: I mean, if you're you know, our boss is not

1440
01:11:42,960 --> 01:11:45,040
Speaker 1: here right now for this final segment of the night.

1441
01:11:45,280 --> 01:11:47,560
Speaker 1: He is not present. And that is true of the

1442
01:11:47,680 --> 01:11:50,280
Speaker 1: Eagles as well tonight. I mean this this is the

1443
01:11:50,400 --> 01:11:52,719
Speaker 1: third time in five games where they've given up forty

1444
01:11:52,760 --> 01:11:56,760
Speaker 1: plus points on defense. And despite all the years of

1445
01:11:57,240 --> 01:12:01,840
Speaker 1: epic talk about Chip Kelly's innovative, crazy offense that no

1446
01:12:01,920 --> 01:12:04,240
Speaker 1: one can deal with, they don't have the offense or

1447
01:12:04,360 --> 01:12:06,599
Speaker 1: the players to keep up with this team. When you're

1448
01:12:06,600 --> 01:12:09,920
Speaker 1: getting bombed, that's out the window. It's clear now all

1449
01:12:09,960 --> 01:12:12,360
Speaker 1: the talk that Chip Kelly was this guy that was

1450
01:12:12,360 --> 01:12:13,880
Speaker 1: going to take the league by storm, and then he

1451
01:12:14,120 --> 01:12:17,200
Speaker 1: people would be emulating what he was doing or imitating

1452
01:12:17,240 --> 01:12:19,599
Speaker 1: what he was doing. It's not gonna happen, and it's

1453
01:12:19,640 --> 01:12:22,400
Speaker 1: certainly not that's not gonna be successful against a team

1454
01:12:22,479 --> 01:12:25,240
Speaker 1: like the Cardinals, who are as well rounded as any

1455
01:12:25,360 --> 01:12:26,800
Speaker 1: group in the league right now. Yeah, I mean, and

1456
01:12:26,880 --> 01:12:28,960
Speaker 1: forget Chip Kelly. Let's talk about the coach of the

1457
01:12:29,040 --> 01:12:31,600
Speaker 1: year in the NFC, and that's Bruce Arians. Because no

1458
01:12:31,760 --> 01:12:34,560
Speaker 1: matter what's happened aorn rivera fair enough, but Arians, the

1459
01:12:34,680 --> 01:12:36,560
Speaker 1: argument for him is that no matter what's happened in

1460
01:12:36,560 --> 01:12:40,160
Speaker 1: Arizona the previous week, they get up for every single game.

1461
01:12:40,360 --> 01:12:44,080
Speaker 1: They've been the darlings of prime time this season. Big matchups,

1462
01:12:44,400 --> 01:12:47,920
Speaker 1: big critical situations, they show up. Their offense is explosive

1463
01:12:48,160 --> 01:12:50,160
Speaker 1: and hard to contain. This had much more to do

1464
01:12:50,240 --> 01:12:52,600
Speaker 1: about Arizona than it did the Eagles. There's seven and

1465
01:12:52,680 --> 01:12:54,880
Speaker 1: one on the road this year, which proves their mentally tough.

1466
01:12:55,120 --> 01:12:57,600
Speaker 1: It's a franchise record for them, and I love the

1467
01:12:57,680 --> 01:13:00,160
Speaker 1: Bruce Arians. After the game they win the NFC US

1468
01:13:00,240 --> 01:13:03,240
Speaker 1: and you know, Connor or who's at at this game,

1469
01:13:03,320 --> 01:13:06,720
Speaker 1: said Arians. Basically, the message he sent was there wasn't

1470
01:13:06,720 --> 01:13:08,320
Speaker 1: a whole lot of hooting and hollering. We want a

1471
01:13:08,360 --> 01:13:10,839
Speaker 1: lot more than the NFC West this year. We expect

1472
01:13:10,880 --> 01:13:13,960
Speaker 1: to go further. The one thing to really be concerned about,

1473
01:13:14,040 --> 01:13:16,880
Speaker 1: and you know we're taping this right after the game

1474
01:13:16,960 --> 01:13:21,360
Speaker 1: wraps up, is Tyrone Matthew Uh, their star UH safety

1475
01:13:21,479 --> 01:13:24,600
Speaker 1: cornerback secondary man went down with a knee injury at

1476
01:13:24,640 --> 01:13:27,280
Speaker 1: the very end of the game. Arians Uh didn't really

1477
01:13:27,320 --> 01:13:29,360
Speaker 1: have a comment on it directly after the game, so

1478
01:13:29,479 --> 01:13:31,600
Speaker 1: we don't want to get too far ahead of ourselves.

1479
01:13:32,000 --> 01:13:34,200
Speaker 1: But that's one of those guys, one of the core

1480
01:13:34,320 --> 01:13:36,479
Speaker 1: players on this team they could afford to lose less.

1481
01:13:36,560 --> 01:13:38,360
Speaker 1: I mean more than just a core player. He's an

1482
01:13:38,439 --> 01:13:42,240
Speaker 1: NFL Defensive Player of the Year candidate and outside of J. J. Watt,

1483
01:13:42,280 --> 01:13:45,200
Speaker 1: he would get my vote. And so it's it's really

1484
01:13:45,240 --> 01:13:47,920
Speaker 1: impossible to describe what losing him for any amount of

1485
01:13:47,960 --> 01:13:50,040
Speaker 1: time would mean, not only for the secondary, but what

1486
01:13:50,160 --> 01:13:52,880
Speaker 1: they do as a defense as a whole. He's he's

1487
01:13:52,920 --> 01:13:55,479
Speaker 1: like no other defensive back in the NFL. He plays

1488
01:13:56,280 --> 01:13:59,080
Speaker 1: a slot corner safety and a little bit of linebacker

1489
01:13:59,160 --> 01:14:01,200
Speaker 1: at times too. He's a blitzer and a run defender.

1490
01:14:01,600 --> 01:14:03,360
Speaker 1: They cut, they use him to cover tight ends. There's

1491
01:14:03,400 --> 01:14:06,040
Speaker 1: just no one else like that. And Carson Palmer this

1492
01:14:06,200 --> 01:14:08,360
Speaker 1: week compared him to a mix between Ed Reid and

1493
01:14:08,640 --> 01:14:11,560
Speaker 1: Troy Palamalo. Praise doesn't get any higher than that, do

1494
01:14:11,640 --> 01:14:15,400
Speaker 1: you guys want to know what Drew Stanton and de

1495
01:14:15,520 --> 01:14:18,360
Speaker 1: Marco Murray had in common tonight? They both touched the

1496
01:14:18,400 --> 01:14:21,160
Speaker 1: ball once. They both had They were both credited with

1497
01:14:21,360 --> 01:14:24,519
Speaker 1: two rushing attempts. Drew Stanton to kneel downs uh to

1498
01:14:24,680 --> 01:14:26,519
Speaker 1: kill the clock. At the end of the game, DeMarco

1499
01:14:26,680 --> 01:14:30,679
Speaker 1: Murray two carries for three yards. Uh. He was obviously

1500
01:14:30,840 --> 01:14:33,400
Speaker 1: third in the pecking order, So this seems like they're

1501
01:14:33,439 --> 01:14:35,719
Speaker 1: heading toward a divorce at this point to Marco Murray

1502
01:14:36,080 --> 01:14:39,479
Speaker 1: and the Eagles, which is certainly incredible. It's easy to

1503
01:14:39,560 --> 01:14:43,280
Speaker 1: forget now because we're now almost all the way through season.

1504
01:14:43,479 --> 01:14:47,120
Speaker 1: He is the reigning NFL rushing champion, has no part

1505
01:14:47,240 --> 01:14:49,880
Speaker 1: in their offensive attack. That that guy that goes on

1506
01:14:50,000 --> 01:14:52,639
Speaker 1: everyone unfilly. They botched that as bad as it gets.

1507
01:14:53,040 --> 01:14:55,240
Speaker 1: So the Eagles, Uh, when you look at all the

1508
01:14:55,280 --> 01:14:57,040
Speaker 1: things that I've gone wrong for them, that's a big

1509
01:14:57,080 --> 01:14:59,920
Speaker 1: part of it. Bad job signing that guy the All

1510
01:15:00,000 --> 01:15:02,080
Speaker 1: Offensive Player of the Year last year and now he's

1511
01:15:02,080 --> 01:15:05,040
Speaker 1: an afterthought, like you said, And I think that's just

1512
01:15:05,280 --> 01:15:08,120
Speaker 1: I've made this point several times, the perils of building

1513
01:15:08,160 --> 01:15:11,240
Speaker 1: your team through free agency, which they did. Chip Kelly

1514
01:15:11,439 --> 01:15:15,240
Speaker 1: knows that running backs with DeMarco Murray's workload do not

1515
01:15:15,360 --> 01:15:17,960
Speaker 1: play well next year. He admitted that in August, and

1516
01:15:18,080 --> 01:15:20,760
Speaker 1: yet they still signed him to a big money deal.

1517
01:15:21,520 --> 01:15:24,560
Speaker 1: It's crazy. So, yes, the Cardinals are twelve into the

1518
01:15:24,920 --> 01:15:28,719
Speaker 1: team around the NFL is now the NFC West champions

1519
01:15:28,760 --> 01:15:31,519
Speaker 1: with very good chance, probably not not gonna get the

1520
01:15:31,560 --> 01:15:34,320
Speaker 1: one seed, but they have a good chance now to

1521
01:15:34,439 --> 01:15:37,679
Speaker 1: lock up that two seed and roll into the playoffs.

1522
01:15:37,720 --> 01:15:39,479
Speaker 1: Gotta like the chances of the team of a t N.

1523
01:15:39,680 --> 01:15:41,680
Speaker 1: If they win the Super Bowl as a team of

1524
01:15:41,800 --> 01:15:44,200
Speaker 1: a t N, we should just fold up shop because

1525
01:15:44,280 --> 01:15:46,639
Speaker 1: we've done it well at that point. Absolutely, there's nothing

1526
01:15:46,720 --> 01:15:48,960
Speaker 1: left for us to do if that happens like that.

1527
01:15:49,160 --> 01:15:51,840
Speaker 1: I like their chances. We have to hope that Honey

01:15:51,880 --> 01:15:54,080
Speaker 1: Badger's injury is like a grunt deal where he's only

1529
01:15:54,320 --> 01:15:56,320
Speaker 1: gonna miss a week or so. It's possible we'll see

1530
01:15:56,400 --> 01:15:58,280
Speaker 1: or you might not miss anytime. Yeah, it's too early

1531
01:15:58,320 --> 01:16:00,080
Speaker 1: to say. Let's just hope that's what it is is.
