1 00:00:00,160 --> 00:00:05,560 Speaker 1: Boom, Shaka laka. It's our number one, our number one, 2 00:00:05,600 --> 00:00:08,000 Speaker 1: and a happy Tuesday to you. It is the ninth 3 00:00:08,080 --> 00:00:12,080 Speaker 1: day of September and we had a humdinger of a 4 00:00:12,119 --> 00:00:14,560 Speaker 1: Monday night game here on the Ben Maler Show. We reacted, 5 00:00:14,600 --> 00:00:17,440 Speaker 1: we said up all night to react to the Vikings 6 00:00:17,480 --> 00:00:21,360 Speaker 1: Bears game as Minnesota came storming back in the fourth 7 00:00:21,440 --> 00:00:24,080 Speaker 1: quarter down double digits and they pulled out the win. 8 00:00:24,480 --> 00:00:26,119 Speaker 1: How did you grade though the better story in the 9 00:00:26,120 --> 00:00:29,200 Speaker 1: losing locker room? How did you grade Ben Johnson's debut 10 00:00:29,240 --> 00:00:32,520 Speaker 1: as head coach in the Windy City? An epic choke 11 00:00:32,640 --> 00:00:34,880 Speaker 1: job at the end? What did you make of Cabb 12 00:00:34,920 --> 00:00:39,720 Speaker 1: Williams maiden voyage under this new offensive system for the Bears? 13 00:00:40,200 --> 00:00:43,880 Speaker 1: And give me your reaction to JJ McCarthy his first 14 00:00:44,080 --> 00:00:47,320 Speaker 1: Viking start, which wasn't much of anything for three quarters, 15 00:00:47,320 --> 00:00:52,720 Speaker 1: and then quite the juxtaposition in the fourth and final period. 16 00:00:52,720 --> 00:00:55,080 Speaker 1: We'll talk about all that and more right now here. 17 00:00:55,120 --> 00:01:00,160 Speaker 1: It is our number one. 18 00:01:01,080 --> 00:01:05,760 Speaker 2: Now that is the full Chicago Bears experience right there, 19 00:01:06,680 --> 00:01:11,800 Speaker 2: big money coach, number one draft pick, and wow that sucked. 20 00:01:11,800 --> 00:01:18,240 Speaker 2: Welcome in the beginning. Come another night of the Ben 21 00:01:18,280 --> 00:01:24,080 Speaker 2: Mahlor Show. We are in the air everywhere, birds of 22 00:01:24,120 --> 00:01:24,720 Speaker 2: a feather. 23 00:01:24,840 --> 00:01:28,399 Speaker 1: As we are rolling and strolling through the overnight hours, 24 00:01:28,440 --> 00:01:31,399 Speaker 1: coast to coast, border to border and beyond. On the 25 00:01:31,480 --> 00:01:38,279 Speaker 1: vast and downright, powerful microphones of fs are ammundating live 26 00:01:38,440 --> 00:01:41,520 Speaker 1: from the eye do it low, the eye of the hurricane, 27 00:01:42,360 --> 00:01:45,520 Speaker 1: the world famous Fox Sports radio studios. That Bears found 28 00:01:45,560 --> 00:01:48,320 Speaker 1: themselves in a bit of a late hurricane there. And 29 00:01:49,000 --> 00:01:52,200 Speaker 1: we know that this portion of the Ben Maler Show 30 00:01:52,200 --> 00:01:54,840 Speaker 1: on Fox made possible apart by our friends at ty Iraq. 31 00:01:55,400 --> 00:01:58,440 Speaker 1: For over forty years, ty Iraq has been helping customers 32 00:01:58,440 --> 00:02:01,280 Speaker 1: like mister Irrigation find the right tires for how, what 33 00:02:01,480 --> 00:02:05,000 Speaker 1: and where they drive. That's right alf and for doukship 34 00:02:05,080 --> 00:02:08,360 Speaker 1: fast and freeback by free road hazard protection with convenient 35 00:02:08,520 --> 00:02:13,280 Speaker 1: installation options like mobile tire installation, tire rack dot com 36 00:02:13,720 --> 00:02:15,960 Speaker 1: the way tire buying should be. So our lead this 37 00:02:16,040 --> 00:02:21,000 Speaker 1: hour to begin the night. We start out from sweet Home, Chicago, 38 00:02:21,120 --> 00:02:25,119 Speaker 1: right there the shores of Lake Michigan, iconic Soldier Field, 39 00:02:25,360 --> 00:02:27,640 Speaker 1: so iconic the Bears can't wait to leave there and 40 00:02:27,639 --> 00:02:30,120 Speaker 1: go to a new stadium out in the suburbs. But 41 00:02:30,200 --> 00:02:32,760 Speaker 1: for now they're still playing at Soldier Field. They'll be 42 00:02:32,800 --> 00:02:34,440 Speaker 1: there for a couple more years until they build that 43 00:02:34,520 --> 00:02:38,240 Speaker 1: new shiny taj Mahall Stadium and then gouge people to 44 00:02:38,280 --> 00:02:40,799 Speaker 1: go to the stadium. That's the way businesses done in 45 00:02:40,840 --> 00:02:45,880 Speaker 1: the NFL anyway. So Soldier Field, that was the stage 46 00:02:46,320 --> 00:02:49,560 Speaker 1: right there, with the skyline of Chicago on one side, 47 00:02:49,560 --> 00:02:51,799 Speaker 1: and then you had the lake on the other Lake 48 00:02:51,840 --> 00:02:55,640 Speaker 1: Michigan there and the final act of the opening weekend 49 00:02:55,680 --> 00:02:59,760 Speaker 1: the NFL twenty twenty five season, Vikings and Bears and 50 00:03:00,200 --> 00:03:04,679 Speaker 1: FC North slobber Knocker, slabber knocker. Now, this was an 51 00:03:04,720 --> 00:03:06,519 Speaker 1: island game. You know, we love our island games. We 52 00:03:06,600 --> 00:03:10,119 Speaker 1: love island games. So if you were watching, you likely 53 00:03:10,200 --> 00:03:13,560 Speaker 1: know what happens. It happened. If not, maybe if you 54 00:03:13,639 --> 00:03:16,200 Speaker 1: were watching, you might not have paid attention. This game 55 00:03:16,280 --> 00:03:19,240 Speaker 1: is over. Perhaps you missed it, but don't worry. We 56 00:03:19,320 --> 00:03:23,320 Speaker 1: watched so you would not have to. In a very 57 00:03:24,000 --> 00:03:30,720 Speaker 1: shaky beginning, they're very wobbly, wobbly beginning for JJ McCarthy, 58 00:03:31,400 --> 00:03:36,360 Speaker 1: the rookie, even red shirt rookie, red shirt rookie JJ McCarthy, 59 00:03:36,560 --> 00:03:40,720 Speaker 1: who then in the fourth quarter went bonkers. He had 60 00:03:40,960 --> 00:03:43,680 Speaker 1: not one but two fourth quarter touchdown passes ran for 61 00:03:43,720 --> 00:03:48,960 Speaker 1: another score in his long awaited NFL debut, the former 62 00:03:49,000 --> 00:03:52,560 Speaker 1: first round draft pick. The Vikings snapped out of the 63 00:03:52,680 --> 00:03:57,400 Speaker 1: duldrums dreadful performance and they end up getting and when 64 00:03:57,440 --> 00:03:59,640 Speaker 1: you only remember the outcome, you won't remember how bad 65 00:03:59,680 --> 00:04:01,800 Speaker 1: the game was from the Minnesota side of things for 66 00:04:01,840 --> 00:04:03,800 Speaker 1: three quarters. But they end up winning it on a 67 00:04:03,840 --> 00:04:08,320 Speaker 1: big push twenty seven to twenty four over the Bears. 68 00:04:08,880 --> 00:04:11,520 Speaker 1: So that's good for the Vikings for our purposes, though, 69 00:04:11,560 --> 00:04:13,920 Speaker 1: the better story is in the losing locker room. So 70 00:04:13,960 --> 00:04:16,640 Speaker 1: that is where we are going to go, Sweet home 71 00:04:17,279 --> 00:04:21,719 Speaker 1: Chicago Bear football right there. Holy crap. So the debut 72 00:04:22,240 --> 00:04:27,040 Speaker 1: of Ben Johnson as the Chicago Bears head coach, the 73 00:04:27,120 --> 00:04:31,280 Speaker 1: big money coach who's spent time as the Lions offensive 74 00:04:31,400 --> 00:04:35,599 Speaker 1: coordinator and that's where he built his legacy, and so 75 00:04:35,680 --> 00:04:37,960 Speaker 1: many teams wanted Ben Johnson to be the coach, and 76 00:04:37,960 --> 00:04:41,560 Speaker 1: here's his opportunity in Chicago, and he inherited the former 77 00:04:41,920 --> 00:04:47,760 Speaker 1: number one overall per in Caleb who call Williams, who 78 00:04:47,960 --> 00:04:50,440 Speaker 1: is bounced all over the place in college and now 79 00:04:50,480 --> 00:04:52,720 Speaker 1: in the NFL. Looks like he should be bouncing somewhere else. 80 00:04:52,720 --> 00:04:55,880 Speaker 1: The way he played in this game. So with the 81 00:04:55,880 --> 00:04:59,120 Speaker 1: better story being in the losing locker room, let us 82 00:04:59,160 --> 00:05:03,719 Speaker 1: discuss for the esteem panel, how did you grade Ben 83 00:05:03,839 --> 00:05:08,680 Speaker 1: Johnson's debut as a coach in the Windy City. So 84 00:05:08,760 --> 00:05:14,880 Speaker 1: I've got utility Bill, the coasters, and hearse, and we 85 00:05:14,920 --> 00:05:17,760 Speaker 1: will combine all of these things together, and we're going 86 00:05:17,800 --> 00:05:20,560 Speaker 1: to make the Baba Ganooche. We're gonna make it early. 87 00:05:20,600 --> 00:05:23,159 Speaker 1: We're gonna make the Baba ganooge here early on. So 88 00:05:24,040 --> 00:05:27,080 Speaker 1: my first thought here as we connect all these things together, 89 00:05:27,160 --> 00:05:30,320 Speaker 1: my first thought is, and I wrote this down, how 90 00:05:30,320 --> 00:05:32,960 Speaker 1: do you grade Ben Johnson on the Malor report card? 91 00:05:32,960 --> 00:05:34,760 Speaker 1: How do you grade his debut as coach of the Bears? 92 00:05:34,760 --> 00:05:37,839 Speaker 1: Ben Johnson the Malor report card? I wrote down. I 93 00:05:37,839 --> 00:05:43,839 Speaker 1: didn't write down an A. I wrote down, s O B. Now, 94 00:05:43,880 --> 00:05:46,720 Speaker 1: not what you think, not what you I wrote down, 95 00:05:46,800 --> 00:05:49,600 Speaker 1: Same old Bears. That's what I wrote. You probably thought 96 00:05:49,640 --> 00:05:52,599 Speaker 1: it meant something else, Same old Bears. That's that's right. 97 00:05:52,680 --> 00:05:56,920 Speaker 1: They dominated for three quarters. We're really dominated for two 98 00:05:57,040 --> 00:06:01,960 Speaker 1: quarters defensively part of a third. The big interception there. 99 00:06:02,040 --> 00:06:05,120 Speaker 1: They did control. The tempo was a low scoring game. 100 00:06:05,279 --> 00:06:07,880 Speaker 1: Minnesota could not get out of their own way and 101 00:06:08,400 --> 00:06:13,400 Speaker 1: Yet when it was time to finish the opponent off 102 00:06:13,880 --> 00:06:17,560 Speaker 1: the kill shot and put them six feet under. What 103 00:06:17,760 --> 00:06:21,839 Speaker 1: happened not good. Chicago decided to slide into their snuggie. 104 00:06:22,279 --> 00:06:25,520 Speaker 1: The Bears there and they went into hibernation mode and 105 00:06:25,560 --> 00:06:28,120 Speaker 1: it burned them. It burned them. Proof that there is 106 00:06:28,160 --> 00:06:32,719 Speaker 1: no such thing as momentum. The Bears had all the momentum, 107 00:06:33,720 --> 00:06:36,200 Speaker 1: should have won the game. Minnesota had no momentum. Why 108 00:06:36,200 --> 00:06:39,880 Speaker 1: would the Bears give up momentum? It makes no sense 109 00:06:40,360 --> 00:06:45,880 Speaker 1: because it's not real, you dummies. Anyway, So the Chicago 110 00:06:46,040 --> 00:06:49,320 Speaker 1: Bears hired Ben Johnson, who is on the pulse of 111 00:06:49,839 --> 00:06:54,440 Speaker 1: He's at the forefront of modern offensive NFL football. That 112 00:06:54,600 --> 00:06:57,080 Speaker 1: was the selling point of Ben Johnson, right, slick agent, 113 00:06:57,120 --> 00:07:01,080 Speaker 1: the whole thing. And so there we go. Instead of 114 00:07:01,120 --> 00:07:04,159 Speaker 1: the next gen, which is all the nerd rage, the 115 00:07:04,200 --> 00:07:07,480 Speaker 1: next gen and all that, this was the dormant Bears, 116 00:07:08,400 --> 00:07:11,720 Speaker 1: and it was a Bear jamboree, a country bear jamboree. Here. 117 00:07:11,800 --> 00:07:14,960 Speaker 1: Every time they had a chance, and there were multiple 118 00:07:14,960 --> 00:07:20,800 Speaker 1: opportunities to deliver the knockout punch and just end the game, 119 00:07:21,160 --> 00:07:24,880 Speaker 1: they tapped out, I can't do it, cannot do it. 120 00:07:25,000 --> 00:07:29,080 Speaker 1: Not gonna happen. Instead, they landed, They landed some little 121 00:07:29,200 --> 00:07:32,840 Speaker 1: jabs they couldn't land the haymaker could not land the haymaker, 122 00:07:32,920 --> 00:07:37,040 Speaker 1: and Ben Johnson's team pulling punches, which you generally don't 123 00:07:37,080 --> 00:07:38,760 Speaker 1: want to see. Listen, I have no skin in the game, 124 00:07:38,800 --> 00:07:40,720 Speaker 1: and I'm not a Bears fan or anything like that. 125 00:07:40,800 --> 00:07:44,840 Speaker 1: But the power went out and they forgot to pay 126 00:07:44,840 --> 00:07:48,240 Speaker 1: their utility bill, and then he needed it most. They're 127 00:07:48,320 --> 00:07:50,400 Speaker 1: late in the game, just make one or two plays 128 00:07:50,400 --> 00:07:53,560 Speaker 1: who win the game, and they had nothing, so they 129 00:07:53,560 --> 00:07:56,000 Speaker 1: forgot to pay the utility bill. There at Soldier Field, 130 00:07:56,000 --> 00:07:58,400 Speaker 1: the power went out. And this is not just a loss, 131 00:07:58,440 --> 00:08:02,000 Speaker 1: mind you, this is two losses for the Chicago Bears, 132 00:08:02,000 --> 00:08:04,880 Speaker 1: because not only lose at home, but you lose a 133 00:08:04,920 --> 00:08:08,760 Speaker 1: divisional game in what figures to be a pretty close 134 00:08:09,560 --> 00:08:12,960 Speaker 1: nip and talk division. So now you've really lost two 135 00:08:13,040 --> 00:08:15,560 Speaker 1: games at home and in the division for the Bears. 136 00:08:15,560 --> 00:08:19,440 Speaker 1: That's a double gut punch, is what that is. And 137 00:08:19,480 --> 00:08:22,160 Speaker 1: this is supposed to be the New Bears, right, the 138 00:08:22,160 --> 00:08:25,680 Speaker 1: new Bears, all that crap that we read and heard about, 139 00:08:25,680 --> 00:08:27,920 Speaker 1: Oh it's gonna be different now, oh yeah, it's gonna 140 00:08:27,960 --> 00:08:31,560 Speaker 1: be different. Okay, So the job was to protect home 141 00:08:31,600 --> 00:08:36,480 Speaker 1: field advantage soldier field. Instead, you hand the w to 142 00:08:36,600 --> 00:08:39,200 Speaker 1: the Vikings because as much as we're gonna rip the 143 00:08:39,240 --> 00:08:42,360 Speaker 1: offense for the Chicago Bears, the defense. Also, what happened 144 00:08:42,360 --> 00:08:46,800 Speaker 1: there to the Chicago Bears defense. I guess Dennis Allen's 145 00:08:46,840 --> 00:08:50,520 Speaker 1: back to being a moron after we were really just 146 00:08:50,640 --> 00:08:52,920 Speaker 1: kissing his ass on the TV. Brock just oh, Dennis 147 00:08:52,960 --> 00:08:55,480 Speaker 1: Allen's defense and all that stuff for three quarters and 148 00:08:55,520 --> 00:08:59,600 Speaker 1: then in the fourth not so much. Now as for 149 00:08:59,720 --> 00:09:01,600 Speaker 1: the inevitable. 150 00:09:01,480 --> 00:09:02,280 Speaker 3: What are you doing? 151 00:09:02,400 --> 00:09:05,080 Speaker 1: It's it's only one game. Why do you have all 152 00:09:05,120 --> 00:09:08,560 Speaker 1: these strong opinions after one game? You know that crowd 153 00:09:09,720 --> 00:09:13,200 Speaker 1: spoiler alert, spoil Guess what? Guess what. It's a daily 154 00:09:13,240 --> 00:09:15,280 Speaker 1: talk show. I am. I asked to give my opinion 155 00:09:15,520 --> 00:09:18,760 Speaker 1: as things unfold. They don't ask me to wait to 156 00:09:18,800 --> 00:09:20,679 Speaker 1: the end of the year. I've told management, I said, listen, 157 00:09:21,480 --> 00:09:23,240 Speaker 1: why don't you just pay me a lot of money. 158 00:09:23,280 --> 00:09:26,600 Speaker 1: I'll have no opinions. I'll be boring. There's a lot 159 00:09:26,640 --> 00:09:28,800 Speaker 1: of people that do this that are very boring, don't 160 00:09:28,840 --> 00:09:30,760 Speaker 1: know a strong opinion, and I'll just do that and 161 00:09:30,800 --> 00:09:32,560 Speaker 1: then just give me like a big bag of money. 162 00:09:32,559 --> 00:09:34,839 Speaker 1: At the end, I'll never get an opinion wrong. It'll 163 00:09:34,840 --> 00:09:38,800 Speaker 1: be wonderful, it'll be glorious, it's great. But this is 164 00:09:38,840 --> 00:09:40,760 Speaker 1: all we have to judge the Bears on. All we 165 00:09:40,880 --> 00:09:44,400 Speaker 1: have is one game, one game to judge Ben Johnson 166 00:09:44,440 --> 00:09:47,880 Speaker 1: on and the other factor. And I noticed this watching 167 00:09:47,920 --> 00:09:50,680 Speaker 1: the way the Bears were throwing the football around, Like 168 00:09:51,240 --> 00:09:54,680 Speaker 1: the margin for error in that style of offense for 169 00:09:54,760 --> 00:09:58,760 Speaker 1: Ben Johnson and the Chicago Bears is razor thin. And 170 00:09:59,000 --> 00:10:01,880 Speaker 1: it's a pass half offense. That's what they do. They 171 00:10:02,200 --> 00:10:05,280 Speaker 1: incorporate the running game via short passes and all that stuff. 172 00:10:05,440 --> 00:10:07,760 Speaker 1: But you're playing outdoors, you're not playing in a dome 173 00:10:08,280 --> 00:10:11,400 Speaker 1: like you were with the Detroit Lions. You've got that 174 00:10:12,000 --> 00:10:15,160 Speaker 1: win from Lake Michigan. Swirling around when it gets later 175 00:10:15,240 --> 00:10:17,160 Speaker 1: in the year becomes a big problems like a blender 176 00:10:17,760 --> 00:10:20,360 Speaker 1: goes swirling around. You've got that to deal with. You've 177 00:10:20,360 --> 00:10:23,840 Speaker 1: also got the occasional dormant weather, whether it's fog or 178 00:10:23,960 --> 00:10:26,600 Speaker 1: snow when you get late in the year, assuming you 179 00:10:26,640 --> 00:10:29,839 Speaker 1: even have a mathematical chance of leaning those games and 180 00:10:29,880 --> 00:10:33,040 Speaker 1: having them mean something. If you're the Chicago Bears and 181 00:10:33,280 --> 00:10:37,480 Speaker 1: you're struggling in September weather, And I mean, just you 182 00:10:37,480 --> 00:10:40,400 Speaker 1: think about what's gonna be like down the line in Chicago, 183 00:10:40,559 --> 00:10:44,800 Speaker 1: and it's like wow. And so that's why you can't 184 00:10:44,960 --> 00:10:48,280 Speaker 1: call it progress. They lost the game. They rode the 185 00:10:48,360 --> 00:10:52,160 Speaker 1: vomit comet and they crashed it into the side of 186 00:10:52,240 --> 00:10:55,719 Speaker 1: the building there. Man, it was bad. It's a piecemeal 187 00:10:55,760 --> 00:10:58,480 Speaker 1: effort to close the game. Did they think they were 188 00:10:58,480 --> 00:11:00,280 Speaker 1: gonna play with a running clock or something like that, 189 00:11:00,320 --> 00:11:04,080 Speaker 1: I don't know. Well, here's Ben Johnson, the man of 190 00:11:04,160 --> 00:11:08,480 Speaker 1: the hour. Here is the coach of the Chicago football team, 191 00:11:08,880 --> 00:11:12,520 Speaker 1: pointing out the key to wins and losses. Take a 192 00:11:12,640 --> 00:11:15,480 Speaker 1: us disappointing way to start the season there for us. 193 00:11:15,559 --> 00:11:17,480 Speaker 1: You think you can have a seventeen to six lead, 194 00:11:17,600 --> 00:11:19,520 Speaker 1: that's right. Yeah, did go the way it did there 195 00:11:19,520 --> 00:11:21,840 Speaker 1: in the fourth quarter. You know, we said going into 196 00:11:21,840 --> 00:11:23,719 Speaker 1: Week one that the team that would make the least 197 00:11:23,800 --> 00:11:26,920 Speaker 1: number of mistakes would win the game, and unfortunately we 198 00:11:26,920 --> 00:11:28,440 Speaker 1: were on the wrong side of that. We made too 199 00:11:28,520 --> 00:11:32,320 Speaker 1: many there late in the game. Myself included Yeah, So 200 00:11:32,559 --> 00:11:34,959 Speaker 1: the coaches always have to include themselves in that. You 201 00:11:35,000 --> 00:11:37,040 Speaker 1: can never say to the players. You always have to say, well, 202 00:11:37,240 --> 00:11:41,000 Speaker 1: I'm part of that when when you most coaches are like, well, no, 203 00:11:41,040 --> 00:11:43,320 Speaker 1: I'm not. That's these are the idiots that screwed up. 204 00:11:43,360 --> 00:11:45,120 Speaker 1: I didn't screw up. They screwed up. They have to up. 205 00:11:45,120 --> 00:11:46,880 Speaker 1: I had a good game plan, they didn't listen. It's 206 00:11:46,880 --> 00:11:50,319 Speaker 1: a bad job by so shame on them. The new 207 00:11:50,400 --> 00:11:54,040 Speaker 1: shiny offense right, looked look shiny for but ten of 208 00:11:54,120 --> 00:11:56,559 Speaker 1: ten to start the game for Caleb Williams. And then 209 00:11:57,320 --> 00:12:00,520 Speaker 1: and then things started popping up that weren't to pop 210 00:12:00,640 --> 00:12:03,520 Speaker 1: up there. The Bears teased you, they gave some hope. 211 00:12:03,559 --> 00:12:06,319 Speaker 1: There were people excited that, oh this is great, Bears 212 00:12:06,360 --> 00:12:07,840 Speaker 1: are gonna get off to the one and oh start 213 00:12:07,880 --> 00:12:10,760 Speaker 1: and then they pulled the rug right from underneath you 214 00:12:10,800 --> 00:12:13,240 Speaker 1: and Caleb Williams is a debut in the new offense. 215 00:12:13,320 --> 00:12:15,760 Speaker 1: Not a lot of fireworks, and for the balance of 216 00:12:15,800 --> 00:12:18,640 Speaker 1: the game there it was more like a sparkler, not 217 00:12:19,120 --> 00:12:22,440 Speaker 1: explosive pyrotechnic. It was more of a sparkler and it 218 00:12:22,480 --> 00:12:26,280 Speaker 1: fizzled out before the game ended. Batch out by him 219 00:12:26,280 --> 00:12:30,360 Speaker 1: all right. Now. Secondly, speaking of that wide angle ents 220 00:12:30,679 --> 00:12:33,480 Speaker 1: wide angle, NZ, what did you make of cavib williams 221 00:12:33,640 --> 00:12:39,959 Speaker 1: maiden voyage as the new Chicago Bears offense gets put 222 00:12:40,000 --> 00:12:41,880 Speaker 1: into place. So what do you think? So it was 223 00:12:41,960 --> 00:12:46,600 Speaker 1: a tune that topped the hot one hundred back in 224 00:12:46,640 --> 00:12:52,000 Speaker 1: the day from the Coasters called yackety Yac and the 225 00:12:52,080 --> 00:12:54,640 Speaker 1: song goes, yakay ac, don't talk back. In this case 226 00:12:54,679 --> 00:12:57,840 Speaker 1: it was yackety act don't fight back. That's the Bears. 227 00:12:57,880 --> 00:13:00,960 Speaker 1: They just they had the lead. The Vikings said we 228 00:13:01,000 --> 00:13:03,280 Speaker 1: want this. The Vikings took it, and the Bears were 229 00:13:07,320 --> 00:13:10,040 Speaker 1: that's what they did. And Caleb Williams, it turns out 230 00:13:10,040 --> 00:13:15,160 Speaker 1: he's multitasking. He's actually moonlighting Caleb Williams as an elevator operator. 231 00:13:15,200 --> 00:13:16,719 Speaker 1: I know they don't have many of those left. I 232 00:13:16,800 --> 00:13:18,640 Speaker 1: know if you go down to the Hotel del Cornado 233 00:13:18,679 --> 00:13:21,959 Speaker 1: there in San Diego, they have elevator operators. And so 234 00:13:22,040 --> 00:13:24,600 Speaker 1: he was leaving the elevator door open. He hit the 235 00:13:24,600 --> 00:13:27,480 Speaker 1: button that says leave doors open, and he left it 236 00:13:27,559 --> 00:13:32,640 Speaker 1: wide open. He said, come on in, come on in Minnesota, Vikings. 237 00:13:32,880 --> 00:13:35,400 Speaker 1: I'll give you a ride right to the penthouse where 238 00:13:35,400 --> 00:13:38,960 Speaker 1: there's serving w's. You can have one. Knock yourself out. 239 00:13:39,360 --> 00:13:42,559 Speaker 1: So here is Caleb Williams, a man that always has 240 00:13:42,600 --> 00:13:46,240 Speaker 1: the best looking nails on the football field, and here 241 00:13:46,360 --> 00:13:48,880 Speaker 1: is him talking about a bunch of gibberish about this, 242 00:13:49,000 --> 00:13:50,440 Speaker 1: that and the other. Mentality. 243 00:13:50,440 --> 00:13:53,800 Speaker 4: We'll take all this that mentality, mentality, have something that 244 00:13:53,840 --> 00:13:55,160 Speaker 4: we know that we preach. 245 00:13:54,920 --> 00:13:56,600 Speaker 1: And does that work it out? 246 00:13:57,040 --> 00:13:59,640 Speaker 4: And I'm not it's not a play call thing, it's 247 00:13:59,640 --> 00:14:01,880 Speaker 4: not a anything like. That's just being able to go 248 00:14:01,960 --> 00:14:04,240 Speaker 4: out there and execute the players that are called and 249 00:14:04,320 --> 00:14:06,160 Speaker 4: be able to you know, EXECUTEHM at a high level. 250 00:14:06,400 --> 00:14:07,280 Speaker 1: And that's something. 251 00:14:07,040 --> 00:14:09,640 Speaker 4: That we take pride in. And you know, today that 252 00:14:09,679 --> 00:14:11,760 Speaker 4: didn't happen, and we're going to get back to it. 253 00:14:12,320 --> 00:14:14,280 Speaker 1: The good news is Caleb went out, he found in 254 00:14:14,440 --> 00:14:17,600 Speaker 1: All Night parlor. He got a manny and a petty 255 00:14:17,640 --> 00:14:19,680 Speaker 1: after the game, so he's feeling a little pressed, but 256 00:14:19,680 --> 00:14:20,880 Speaker 1: he got the manny and the petty, so he's in 257 00:14:20,920 --> 00:14:24,120 Speaker 1: good shape. All right. Now, How bad was Caleb to 258 00:14:24,200 --> 00:14:26,200 Speaker 1: allow the Vikings to come back, right, because it's not. 259 00:14:26,400 --> 00:14:27,960 Speaker 1: You can't just come back and win a game unless 260 00:14:27,960 --> 00:14:31,160 Speaker 1: other team sucks. Remember we talked about this in the 261 00:14:31,200 --> 00:14:35,120 Speaker 1: Sunday Night game where the Bills cannot mathematically come back 262 00:14:35,520 --> 00:14:41,120 Speaker 1: without the thumbo bug on the rug by Derrick Henry. Well. 263 00:14:41,160 --> 00:14:45,320 Speaker 1: In this game, it was just consistent suck in the 264 00:14:45,360 --> 00:14:48,440 Speaker 1: second and third quarters where the Bears had opportunities. Talked 265 00:14:48,440 --> 00:14:50,800 Speaker 1: about that to close the game out, for example, I 266 00:14:50,840 --> 00:14:52,840 Speaker 1: went back, I did the Malord math in the second 267 00:14:52,880 --> 00:14:57,120 Speaker 1: and third quarter. Caleb Williams attempted seventeen passes. He completed 268 00:14:57,200 --> 00:15:00,240 Speaker 1: less than fifty percent of them. He averaged les less 269 00:15:00,240 --> 00:15:04,120 Speaker 1: than five yards per attempt. He was horrible. And so 270 00:15:04,200 --> 00:15:08,320 Speaker 1: what was missing? Well, after a minute long deliberation on 271 00:15:08,480 --> 00:15:12,840 Speaker 1: the difference between the offense the Lions had with Ben 272 00:15:12,920 --> 00:15:16,280 Speaker 1: Johnson and the offense we saw from the Chicago Bears, 273 00:15:16,560 --> 00:15:18,840 Speaker 1: the thing that was missing, the secret sauce for Ben 274 00:15:18,920 --> 00:15:22,160 Speaker 1: Johnson and the Lions was the yards after the catch 275 00:15:22,200 --> 00:15:25,080 Speaker 1: of the yak at the yac and they didn't have 276 00:15:25,160 --> 00:15:28,440 Speaker 1: that right Detroit would turn and he still he didn't 277 00:15:28,440 --> 00:15:30,080 Speaker 1: do it much against Green Bay, but they'll turn that. 278 00:15:30,160 --> 00:15:34,320 Speaker 1: Those little swing passes and the big chunky Peter peanut 279 00:15:34,400 --> 00:15:36,920 Speaker 1: butter plays and all that good stuff. You'll stick to 280 00:15:36,960 --> 00:15:41,120 Speaker 1: your mouth kind of peanut butter. Hard to defend. The Bears. Now, 281 00:15:41,120 --> 00:15:43,240 Speaker 1: they did have a couple of big plays, but not 282 00:15:43,640 --> 00:15:49,080 Speaker 1: enough and more smooth peanut butter. Smooth peanut butter, creamy, 283 00:15:49,640 --> 00:15:54,480 Speaker 1: easy to swallow and no bite. There's really no bite 284 00:15:54,480 --> 00:15:56,960 Speaker 1: to it. A few extra yards, but it was mostly 285 00:15:57,040 --> 00:15:59,520 Speaker 1: catch and crash is what it was. All right, now, 286 00:15:59,520 --> 00:16:02,680 Speaker 1: final though, So we go now to the winning locker 287 00:16:02,760 --> 00:16:07,560 Speaker 1: room where it looked pretty bleak. It looked pretty bleak 288 00:16:07,720 --> 00:16:10,240 Speaker 1: for a long stretch of time, but in the end, 289 00:16:10,920 --> 00:16:15,400 Speaker 1: the Minnesota Vikings came back. And so give me your 290 00:16:15,520 --> 00:16:20,400 Speaker 1: reaction to JJ McCarthy in his first start with the Vikings. 291 00:16:20,480 --> 00:16:22,960 Speaker 1: Is the glass half full or is the glass half 292 00:16:22,960 --> 00:16:28,680 Speaker 1: empty on the first go round of JJ McCarthy. So 293 00:16:29,160 --> 00:16:32,280 Speaker 1: what a juxtaposition? Why don't we start with that? What 294 00:16:32,360 --> 00:16:37,360 Speaker 1: a juxtaposition? Because the first three quarters of this game, 295 00:16:37,400 --> 00:16:40,400 Speaker 1: I was texting some friends and we were going back 296 00:16:40,400 --> 00:16:42,160 Speaker 1: and forth and say, wow, this is one of the 297 00:16:42,160 --> 00:16:45,880 Speaker 1: worst performances I can remember, Like, this guy looks like 298 00:16:45,920 --> 00:16:49,640 Speaker 1: he'd never played football before. Holy crap. You could literally 299 00:16:49,680 --> 00:16:53,520 Speaker 1: see him urinating down his leg. It was wild. And 300 00:16:53,600 --> 00:16:57,160 Speaker 1: so you go from that where he was having a 301 00:16:57,280 --> 00:17:01,840 Speaker 1: nice meal at the Shaky's Pizza parlor and you know, 302 00:17:02,160 --> 00:17:06,440 Speaker 1: just the sticky floors, kind of the low quality pizza, 303 00:17:06,800 --> 00:17:12,240 Speaker 1: the mojo potatoes, and the pitcher of flat soda had 304 00:17:12,280 --> 00:17:14,639 Speaker 1: all that going for him, and he's just sitting there, 305 00:17:14,760 --> 00:17:16,600 Speaker 1: not even close to looking like he knows what he's 306 00:17:16,600 --> 00:17:19,879 Speaker 1: doing as an NFL quarterbacks, Like wow, it was like 307 00:17:19,960 --> 00:17:23,840 Speaker 1: he was living in Pukesville. And how bad was he? 308 00:17:23,920 --> 00:17:27,040 Speaker 1: I'm glad you asked. So the first three quarters of 309 00:17:27,080 --> 00:17:33,680 Speaker 1: an NFL game, JJ McCarthy was at seven of twelve passing, 310 00:17:33,880 --> 00:17:37,960 Speaker 1: which is not good average less than five yards per 311 00:17:38,080 --> 00:17:41,920 Speaker 1: pass attempt. Had fifty six total yards passing through three 312 00:17:42,000 --> 00:17:45,639 Speaker 1: quarters of the game, one interception that was a pick 313 00:17:45,760 --> 00:17:50,160 Speaker 1: six to give the Chicago Bears an extra score, a 314 00:17:50,320 --> 00:17:54,280 Speaker 1: passer rating of thirty five point four going to the 315 00:17:54,320 --> 00:17:56,960 Speaker 1: fourth quarter. That was the passer ready. So that means 316 00:17:57,000 --> 00:17:59,560 Speaker 1: that they, they being the Minnesota Vikings, would have been 317 00:17:59,560 --> 00:18:03,840 Speaker 1: better off off calling up a hearse and holding a 318 00:18:04,160 --> 00:18:09,880 Speaker 1: mock funeral procession for the duke and burying the duke, 319 00:18:09,920 --> 00:18:14,080 Speaker 1: putting the duke, putting the duke down in the ground, right, 320 00:18:14,160 --> 00:18:18,400 Speaker 1: and then just ordering some tombstone pizza and that's it. 321 00:18:18,440 --> 00:18:21,200 Speaker 1: See you later. Because the fun fact that we will 322 00:18:21,280 --> 00:18:24,240 Speaker 1: use this from time to time. If McCarthy had just 323 00:18:24,400 --> 00:18:28,240 Speaker 1: spiked the ball every single time he had snapped the ball, 324 00:18:28,240 --> 00:18:31,639 Speaker 1: if he'd spiked the ball every single time into the ground, 325 00:18:31,720 --> 00:18:34,679 Speaker 1: his passer rating would have been thirty nine point six. Statistically, 326 00:18:34,760 --> 00:18:38,080 Speaker 1: he was actually worse by attempting to pass than if 327 00:18:38,119 --> 00:18:41,800 Speaker 1: he had not passed. And it wasn't just bad, it 328 00:18:41,840 --> 00:18:46,919 Speaker 1: was historical bad for McCarthy for three quarters. Like it 329 00:18:47,000 --> 00:18:49,280 Speaker 1: was worse than just don't screw up, just kind of 330 00:18:49,280 --> 00:18:52,359 Speaker 1: be a game manager, that's the baseline. Like the Vikings 331 00:18:53,200 --> 00:18:57,359 Speaker 1: essentially played three quarters of an NFL game with a 332 00:18:57,640 --> 00:19:03,200 Speaker 1: mannequin at quarterback. That's what they had and it didn't match. 333 00:19:03,440 --> 00:19:06,119 Speaker 1: The Bears still left the door open. We talked about this, 334 00:19:06,600 --> 00:19:09,000 Speaker 1: Caleb Williams leaving the door open, the opportunity of the air, 335 00:19:09,600 --> 00:19:12,240 Speaker 1: and they took advantage of it. Now, Kevin O'Connell is 336 00:19:12,320 --> 00:19:15,040 Speaker 1: the Viking head coach. I'm sure he's not going to 337 00:19:15,040 --> 00:19:19,399 Speaker 1: say anything negative about the first three quarters of JJ McCarthy. Instead, 338 00:19:19,440 --> 00:19:21,359 Speaker 1: we'll focus on the end of the game. Is that correct, 339 00:19:21,400 --> 00:19:24,120 Speaker 1: coach JJ McCarthy. 340 00:19:24,160 --> 00:19:25,760 Speaker 3: For him to make some of the plays he did, 341 00:19:26,520 --> 00:19:28,760 Speaker 3: I told him at halftime, you are going to bring 342 00:19:28,840 --> 00:19:30,840 Speaker 3: us back to win this game, and the look in 343 00:19:30,880 --> 00:19:34,000 Speaker 3: his eye was fantastic. The best thing is just a 344 00:19:34,040 --> 00:19:37,600 Speaker 3: belief I felt from the team unit, and ultimately that 345 00:19:37,600 --> 00:19:40,080 Speaker 3: doesn't get done without him. In the second half, two 346 00:19:40,119 --> 00:19:45,080 Speaker 3: passing touchdowns and then the critical rushing touchdown. 347 00:19:45,080 --> 00:19:48,960 Speaker 1: You smell that, Yeah, bull crap, that is bull crap. 348 00:19:49,640 --> 00:19:52,359 Speaker 1: That is hot bull crap by Kevin O'Connell. Holy crap, 349 00:19:52,880 --> 00:19:56,080 Speaker 1: what a dummy I told him? Yeah? Is that why 350 00:19:56,080 --> 00:19:59,320 Speaker 1: he went out after halftime and threw a pick six 351 00:19:59,400 --> 00:20:01,840 Speaker 1: in the third quarter? Is that why, coach? Because you 352 00:20:01,880 --> 00:20:05,440 Speaker 1: had told him, let's make it even worse, let's dig 353 00:20:05,440 --> 00:20:09,480 Speaker 1: a bigger hole. Why not? Why not? Oh? Man, Well 354 00:20:09,560 --> 00:20:11,480 Speaker 1: he did light it up in the fourth quarter, but 355 00:20:11,840 --> 00:20:13,840 Speaker 1: man alive. It was like a cheat code there late. 356 00:20:13,880 --> 00:20:17,600 Speaker 1: But the first three quarters. Greek tragedy goes from it. 357 00:20:17,640 --> 00:20:19,679 Speaker 1: We talk about a rewrite. It goes from a Greek 358 00:20:19,760 --> 00:20:23,800 Speaker 1: tragedy where everyone's dead, the stage is covered in blood 359 00:20:24,320 --> 00:20:27,600 Speaker 1: to a Shakespearean comedy. All's well, that ends. Well, just 360 00:20:27,720 --> 00:20:31,439 Speaker 1: like that there, and unfortunately there is a problem. You 361 00:20:31,480 --> 00:20:34,400 Speaker 1: cannot just live like that in the NFL. Obviously, right, 362 00:20:34,480 --> 00:20:37,720 Speaker 1: you can't stink for forty five minutes and then expect 363 00:20:37,720 --> 00:20:42,560 Speaker 1: to play Superman in the fourth quarter. That generally doesn't happen. 364 00:20:42,600 --> 00:20:46,560 Speaker 1: It's not Disneyland, it's not like that and it's not sustainable, 365 00:20:47,400 --> 00:20:50,960 Speaker 1: so good luck. We'll give him credit for the comeback. 366 00:20:51,640 --> 00:20:53,640 Speaker 1: Hell of a rally there for the Vikings to come 367 00:20:53,640 --> 00:20:56,320 Speaker 1: back and win it. But the narrative, I'm sure will 368 00:20:56,359 --> 00:20:59,600 Speaker 1: be praising JJ McCarthy and how great he was and 369 00:20:59,600 --> 00:21:03,879 Speaker 1: there was and all that stuff. To me, though, you 370 00:21:04,000 --> 00:21:08,120 Speaker 1: cannot ignore the first three quarters of the game that 371 00:21:08,440 --> 00:21:11,240 Speaker 1: he was at the salad bar and he was serving 372 00:21:11,359 --> 00:21:14,679 Speaker 1: up suck salad and that's what it was. So that's 373 00:21:14,720 --> 00:21:16,760 Speaker 1: a bit of a reality check. I would think he's 374 00:21:16,800 --> 00:21:20,240 Speaker 1: a rookie. So yeah, there's gonna be some bumps on 375 00:21:20,280 --> 00:21:23,440 Speaker 1: the road and all that, but man, the Vikings, if 376 00:21:23,440 --> 00:21:25,280 Speaker 1: that's the way it's gonna go, you talk about a 377 00:21:25,400 --> 00:21:28,919 Speaker 1: roller coaster situation. Holy Kenody. Anyway, it is the Ben 378 00:21:29,040 --> 00:21:30,639 Speaker 1: Mahlor Show.

Why 428 00:24:05,480 --> 00:24:08,280 Speaker 1: would the Bears want to leave such a safe clean city. 429 00:24:08,400 --> 00:24:11,920 Speaker 1: I can't, for the life of me figure it out.

He's a big Bears guy. 435 00:24:24,760 --> 00:24:26,920 Speaker 1: He's probably more focused on the Cubs. Not that that's 436 00:24:26,960 --> 00:24:30,199 Speaker 1: going great either. Andy in line o' lakes rights and 437 00:24:30,280 --> 00:24:32,800 Speaker 1: says a minus on the opening mount of monologue. I 438 00:24:32,880 --> 00:24:36,320 Speaker 1: think JJ has only played three quarters of preseason football 439 00:24:36,359 --> 00:24:38,920 Speaker 1: the past two seasons. He probably should have played more 440 00:24:39,000 --> 00:24:43,320 Speaker 1: this year. And the Bears are who we thought they 441 00:24:43,359 --> 00:24:48,080 Speaker 1: were and we didn't let them off the hook.

Though, didn't the Vikings came back 489 00:27:40,160 --> 00:27:44,359 Speaker 1: against the Colts and that was a Saturday afternoon game. 490 00:27:44,960 --> 00:27:47,560 Speaker 1: I remember the Colts had a thirty something point lead 491 00:27:47,560 --> 00:27:52,920 Speaker 1: in that game. That was Matt Ryan was a couple 492 00:27:52,960 --> 00:27:53,440 Speaker 1: of years ago. 493 00:27:54,240 --> 00:27:58,880 Speaker 9: But you gotta believe, didn't it the cardioc Bryan's sight 494 00:28:00,280 --> 00:28:01,960 Speaker 9: quarterback of the cardiac kids. 495 00:28:02,240 --> 00:28:06,000 Speaker 1: Brian, I'm waiting for Dick and Dayton to call up 496 00:28:06,040 --> 00:28:08,240 Speaker 1: with the Brian Sipe take.

Hello tiger Man. 555 00:31:06,560 --> 00:31:09,520 Speaker 8: Ben, you know what on a night where you know 556 00:31:09,800 --> 00:31:13,800 Speaker 8: all five of my teams, Jaden and Joe in the NFL, 557 00:31:13,960 --> 00:31:18,000 Speaker 8: then LSU, d YU and Utah all game the wins, 558 00:31:18,280 --> 00:31:21,320 Speaker 8: I'm calling you disappointed. We have the best wide receiver 559 00:31:21,880 --> 00:31:24,880 Speaker 8: at all of football who had one catch for four 560 00:31:25,000 --> 00:31:26,440 Speaker 8: yards and three quarters. 561 00:31:26,560 --> 00:31:28,160 Speaker 9: Yeah, I mean you gotta get honey. 562 00:31:28,400 --> 00:31:33,000 Speaker 8: Come on, Justin Jefferson is a generational talent. You can't 563 00:31:33,000 --> 00:31:36,280 Speaker 8: do that. They need a quarterback, you know, JJ. If 564 00:31:36,320 --> 00:31:38,640 Speaker 8: there wasn't for all the spy Gates stuff, he would 565 00:31:38,640 --> 00:31:39,080 Speaker 8: be nothing. 566 00:31:39,640 --> 00:31:41,000 Speaker 9: He's a Sonnith brown. 567 00:31:40,880 --> 00:31:44,880 Speaker 8: Pick at best and unbelievable. I'm just very disappointed. 568 00:31:44,920 --> 00:31:47,360 Speaker 1: And that's see, that's a good take. That's why we 569 00:31:47,520 --> 00:31:50,719 Speaker 1: like you, tiger Man. That's an original take that McCarthy's 570 00:31:50,760 --> 00:31:53,840 Speaker 1: a fraud, that he hardly threw the ball at Michigan 571 00:31:54,240 --> 00:31:56,600 Speaker 1: and it was all because of the spy stuff, and 572 00:31:56,640 --> 00:31:59,320 Speaker 1: that's why he was good. And you take all that away, 573 00:31:59,360 --> 00:32:01,240 Speaker 1: and what do you get? YEA for three quarters? Maybe 574 00:32:01,280 --> 00:32:03,960 Speaker 1: the Vike Did they start using binoculars you think in 575 00:32:04,000 --> 00:32:06,160 Speaker 1: the fourth quarter or something like that. Maybe they went 576 00:32:06,280 --> 00:32:07,560 Speaker 1: the old Michigan tricks. 577 00:32:08,480 --> 00:32:11,680 Speaker 8: Well, I think it's Hossle obviously. You know Cottner Stallions. 578 00:32:11,720 --> 00:32:14,280 Speaker 8: He's just working at a heighth school now, so he 579 00:32:14,320 --> 00:32:16,560 Speaker 8: probably needs to get some side gig. 580 00:32:16,720 --> 00:32:18,400 Speaker 1: What do you are you working at a fat tiger Man? 581 00:32:18,400 --> 00:32:19,760 Speaker 1: Are you working at a factory?
