1
00:00:01,080 --> 00:00:03,800
Speaker 1: You're listening to Fox Sports Radio.

2
00:00:04,160 --> 00:00:04,840
Speaker 2: Oh no, man.

3
00:00:04,920 --> 00:00:07,040
Speaker 3: First of all, I hope everybody had a great whatever

4
00:00:07,040 --> 00:00:08,200
Speaker 3: the hell you celebrated.

5
00:00:08,680 --> 00:00:11,280
Speaker 2: And second of all, I'm a wishing.

6
00:00:11,119 --> 00:00:15,320
Speaker 3: Early happy New Year to everybody, starting with my guy.

7
00:00:15,360 --> 00:00:17,560
Speaker 3: But then the third thing is, Ephraim, do we need

8
00:00:17,600 --> 00:00:20,479
Speaker 3: to do the same show every single week? It seems

9
00:00:20,520 --> 00:00:22,439
Speaker 3: like we're gonna do the same show every week. It

10
00:00:22,560 --> 00:00:23,520
Speaker 3: seems like it.

11
00:00:23,600 --> 00:00:26,800
Speaker 2: They're not listening. They're not listening.

12
00:00:26,920 --> 00:00:30,080
Speaker 3: Talking to these football coaches like talking to a teenager.

13
00:00:30,960 --> 00:00:32,920
Speaker 2: They're not listening.

14
00:00:33,360 --> 00:00:40,440
Speaker 3: Put your motorcycle jacket away and stop being mister cool guy.

15
00:00:41,560 --> 00:00:42,440
Speaker 2: Explain to me.

16
00:00:43,200 --> 00:00:46,919
Speaker 3: In the shadow of the Bill's logo at midfield, I'm

17
00:00:46,920 --> 00:00:49,440
Speaker 3: gonna let just jump right into this. Why are you

18
00:00:49,560 --> 00:00:56,960
Speaker 3: going for two? Why are you going for two? I'm tired, brother,

19
00:00:57,200 --> 00:01:01,040
Speaker 3: I'm tired. I'm tired of this machismo. It is literally

20
00:01:01,440 --> 00:01:05,880
Speaker 3: putting certain coaches. McDermott, Dan Campbell. You're gonna be on

21
00:01:06,000 --> 00:01:09,640
Speaker 3: a high way to Fireville if you keep this up,

22
00:01:09,720 --> 00:01:13,280
Speaker 3: because you have good teams and you're falling short. And

23
00:01:13,360 --> 00:01:16,920
Speaker 3: Josh Allen better get ready because this is a different playoff.

24
00:01:16,959 --> 00:01:19,680
Speaker 3: There's no Mahomes, there's no Burrow and there might not

25
00:01:19,800 --> 00:01:22,680
Speaker 3: be Lamar and if he falls short this time, it's

26
00:01:22,720 --> 00:01:25,360
Speaker 3: gonna sound different in Buffalo.

27
00:01:27,080 --> 00:01:30,199
Speaker 4: I mean there's a chance he may he may fall short.

28
00:01:30,800 --> 00:01:36,800
Speaker 4: There's a good chance. You know, this Buffalo team isn't

29
00:01:37,040 --> 00:01:40,360
Speaker 4: the Buffalo team we've seen in the past where there's

30
00:01:40,640 --> 00:01:49,720
Speaker 4: fear permeating from opponents. It just it doesn't watching them play,

31
00:01:49,760 --> 00:01:52,800
Speaker 4: and it's the whole season, not just some of today.

32
00:01:53,840 --> 00:01:58,680
Speaker 4: They're not as dynamic a team as we are used

33
00:01:58,680 --> 00:02:02,400
Speaker 4: to in the past. And it's evident. Number one, they

34
00:02:02,400 --> 00:02:07,720
Speaker 4: have zero weapons on the outside, yep, no one. They

35
00:02:07,840 --> 00:02:11,440
Speaker 4: lose their all world tight end. He didn't play today.

36
00:02:12,160 --> 00:02:17,160
Speaker 4: And you know, defensively they're hit and miss h and

37
00:02:17,560 --> 00:02:20,080
Speaker 4: offensive line wise, you I mean, it's the same, you know,

38
00:02:20,120 --> 00:02:23,400
Speaker 4: team that gave up ten sacks I think to against Houston,

39
00:02:24,440 --> 00:02:27,800
Speaker 4: who's also in the playoffs and who's also in the AFC.

40
00:02:28,480 --> 00:02:34,280
Speaker 4: So their road ahead, you know, minus the Mahomes, minus

41
00:02:34,280 --> 00:02:39,560
Speaker 4: the Burroughs, it's it's still as difficult as ever. In

42
00:02:39,560 --> 00:02:42,359
Speaker 4: my opinion, based on this team, I agree with you.

43
00:02:42,760 --> 00:02:48,240
Speaker 3: I'm not sitting here saying all the Bills will or

44
00:02:48,280 --> 00:02:49,200
Speaker 3: should or whatever.

45
00:02:49,240 --> 00:02:50,520
Speaker 2: I don't think they're the best team.

46
00:02:51,360 --> 00:02:53,360
Speaker 4: I agree, I don't think they're the best team.

47
00:02:53,520 --> 00:02:58,880
Speaker 3: I'm simply getting Josh and Sean McDermott ready for whatever

48
00:02:59,080 --> 00:03:02,280
Speaker 3: debate show you you'd like to point to and tell

49
00:03:02,320 --> 00:03:04,919
Speaker 3: you what it's going to sound like the day after

50
00:03:05,320 --> 00:03:12,359
Speaker 3: he loses. And by the way, oddly the fault will

51
00:03:12,400 --> 00:03:13,880
Speaker 3: lie with everyone but him.

52
00:03:14,800 --> 00:03:16,079
Speaker 2: I've said this to you before.

53
00:03:16,160 --> 00:03:20,600
Speaker 3: Watching the Buffalo Bills is like watching everybody's local high

54
00:03:20,639 --> 00:03:24,680
Speaker 3: school game, where every high school's got that dude, that

55
00:03:24,760 --> 00:03:27,519
Speaker 3: one dude, and you're like, yeah, the whole team's just

56
00:03:27,639 --> 00:03:30,519
Speaker 3: kind of like about that guy. He runs right, he

57
00:03:30,600 --> 00:03:35,240
Speaker 3: runs the left. Remember we used to talk about, you know,

58
00:03:35,320 --> 00:03:37,880
Speaker 3: the King Derrick Henry and his high school stats. Yes,

59
00:03:38,040 --> 00:03:40,960
Speaker 3: by the way, we'll talk about him again here a

60
00:03:41,000 --> 00:03:44,880
Speaker 3: little bit later, But that like, that's what Josh Allen

61
00:03:44,960 --> 00:03:47,840
Speaker 3: feels like. The Buffalo Bills are playing high school football

62
00:03:48,400 --> 00:03:50,520
Speaker 3: and it's just like, we have this really cool player

63
00:03:51,280 --> 00:03:53,680
Speaker 3: and so we're just gonna do all kinds of stuff

64
00:03:53,720 --> 00:03:54,119
Speaker 3: for him.

65
00:03:54,120 --> 00:03:57,280
Speaker 2: And maybe because it's Buffalo, New York as opposed to New.

66
00:03:57,240 --> 00:04:01,720
Speaker 3: York, New York, I don't know why the pressure doesn't

67
00:04:01,760 --> 00:04:05,360
Speaker 3: seem to be the same. But if that were any

68
00:04:05,400 --> 00:04:09,000
Speaker 3: other market. The idea of what has not been put

69
00:04:09,120 --> 00:04:14,760
Speaker 3: around Josh is wild because the defense is mid. You

70
00:04:14,960 --> 00:04:18,360
Speaker 3: just mentioned the receiving corps. I love James Cook and

71
00:04:18,960 --> 00:04:23,360
Speaker 3: outside of that, there's really The Bills are just blah,

72
00:04:23,480 --> 00:04:24,599
Speaker 3: They're just there.

73
00:04:24,839 --> 00:04:26,640
Speaker 2: They're they're a whatever roster.

74
00:04:27,240 --> 00:04:30,080
Speaker 3: And then they have just a phenomenal, maybe the most

75
00:04:30,120 --> 00:04:32,800
Speaker 3: talented player in the game as their quarterback. So it

76
00:04:32,960 --> 00:04:37,400
Speaker 3: masks some things, But I don't know how the pressure

77
00:04:37,680 --> 00:04:41,240
Speaker 3: cooker doesn't get turned up on that whole organization if

78
00:04:41,279 --> 00:04:45,359
Speaker 3: they fall short this time with Mahomes and Burrow, and

79
00:04:45,440 --> 00:04:49,280
Speaker 3: at best even if Lamar gets in a physically compromised Lamar.

80
00:04:49,640 --> 00:04:52,440
Speaker 3: If you're if you're not able to beat second year

81
00:04:52,520 --> 00:04:56,520
Speaker 3: quarterbacks like Drake May and Bo Nicks, then I just

82
00:04:56,560 --> 00:04:58,640
Speaker 3: think it's time for a hard look at themselves.

83
00:04:58,839 --> 00:04:59,880
Speaker 2: Yeah, I think that's fair.

84
00:05:00,520 --> 00:05:02,440
Speaker 4: It is. And you this is a this is a

85
00:05:02,480 --> 00:05:13,919
Speaker 4: perfect game. You just can't lose these type of games.

86
00:05:13,960 --> 00:05:20,440
Speaker 4: Like you can't lose these type of games going into

87
00:05:20,839 --> 00:05:27,360
Speaker 4: the playoffs against a playoff team. You gotta be buttoned up,

88
00:05:28,600 --> 00:05:31,479
Speaker 4: you gotta be locked in, and you gotta be going

89
00:05:31,520 --> 00:05:34,760
Speaker 4: in the right direction. Now, this was a defensive battle.

90
00:05:34,839 --> 00:05:39,120
Speaker 4: It was hard fought. Both defenses came up with big

91
00:05:39,160 --> 00:05:45,520
Speaker 4: plays when needed. Yep. But when you're talking about someone

92
00:05:45,600 --> 00:05:49,120
Speaker 4: the caliber of a Josh Allen and him being the

93
00:05:49,120 --> 00:05:53,039
Speaker 4: reigning MVP and you know, in some circles, arguably the

94
00:05:53,080 --> 00:05:57,920
Speaker 4: best quarterback in the league, you can't do this. You

95
00:05:58,000 --> 00:06:03,200
Speaker 4: can't be you have to win these That's how you

96
00:06:03,240 --> 00:06:07,359
Speaker 4: separate yourself and look for Josh's career. Outside of the

97
00:06:07,400 --> 00:06:12,320
Speaker 4: first two years, he's been that guy. He's been that guy. Yep, right,

98
00:06:12,360 --> 00:06:15,960
Speaker 4: I mean Patrick Mahomes took thirteen seconds to go down

99
00:06:16,000 --> 00:06:19,479
Speaker 4: and snatch a winning away from him, Like he's done

100
00:06:19,560 --> 00:06:22,320
Speaker 4: what he's supposed to do. They change the playoff rules

101
00:06:22,880 --> 00:06:28,080
Speaker 4: because of him and what he's able to do and

102
00:06:28,200 --> 00:06:30,920
Speaker 4: the fans wanting to see him do that. So when

103
00:06:30,920 --> 00:06:32,960
Speaker 4: you get in a situation when you're coming down to

104
00:06:33,000 --> 00:06:37,359
Speaker 4: the end of the season and you're vying for home court,

105
00:06:38,360 --> 00:06:42,880
Speaker 4: home field advantage, you have to capitalize on this against

106
00:06:42,920 --> 00:06:45,800
Speaker 4: a team who's I guess, still trying to figure out

107
00:06:45,880 --> 00:06:49,880
Speaker 4: what type of team they are. Yeah, who's gone through

108
00:06:49,880 --> 00:06:56,359
Speaker 4: their own set of ups and downs throughout the season.

109
00:06:57,240 --> 00:06:59,839
Speaker 3: Well, I mean both of these teams are exactly like

110
00:06:59,880 --> 00:07:01,960
Speaker 3: all of the other teams that we're gonna watch here

111
00:07:01,960 --> 00:07:02,839
Speaker 3: in a couple of weeks.

112
00:07:02,880 --> 00:07:06,479
Speaker 2: It feels like everybody's got some warts.

113
00:07:06,720 --> 00:07:10,080
Speaker 3: Very few teams have a very clear cut identity, and

114
00:07:10,120 --> 00:07:12,760
Speaker 3: you're supposed to know what to expect week in and

115
00:07:12,800 --> 00:07:16,119
Speaker 3: week out. There's actually, you know, maybe a couple teams

116
00:07:16,120 --> 00:07:19,760
Speaker 3: are coming into focus. I know the Rams, based on

117
00:07:19,760 --> 00:07:22,480
Speaker 3: that Seattle thing a couple of weeks ago, have sort

118
00:07:22,520 --> 00:07:25,480
Speaker 3: of for the moment, they've blown their window to be

119
00:07:25,520 --> 00:07:27,680
Speaker 3: the one seed. But I still think people think that's

120
00:07:27,720 --> 00:07:31,160
Speaker 3: the most defined team in the NFC. I'm starting to

121
00:07:31,160 --> 00:07:33,960
Speaker 3: get super convinced by the Houston Texans just because of

122
00:07:34,000 --> 00:07:36,640
Speaker 3: what one side of that ball looks like. That feels

123
00:07:36,680 --> 00:07:40,600
Speaker 3: like that's gonna work in January. But everybody's got warts.

124
00:07:41,240 --> 00:07:43,160
Speaker 3: And you know, these two teams that we're going to

125
00:07:43,200 --> 00:07:46,160
Speaker 3: see tonight, they've got warts, but to both eleven and four.

126
00:07:46,800 --> 00:07:49,600
Speaker 2: So I don't know to a degree.

127
00:07:49,880 --> 00:07:52,280
Speaker 3: I'm like, look, if you lost by one to the Eagles,

128
00:07:52,280 --> 00:07:54,240
Speaker 3: you lost by one to the Eagles. But I get

129
00:07:54,280 --> 00:07:56,840
Speaker 3: frustrated by this, and I wonder, as a former player,

130
00:07:57,120 --> 00:08:02,480
Speaker 3: how this would have landed with you. Constantly, when someone

131
00:08:02,760 --> 00:08:05,720
Speaker 3: goes forward at the end, whether it's fourth down, two

132
00:08:05,800 --> 00:08:09,760
Speaker 3: point conversion, whatever, the standard answer from a player is,

133
00:08:09,880 --> 00:08:15,120
Speaker 3: we're really excited that our coach believes in us. We're

134
00:08:15,200 --> 00:08:19,240
Speaker 3: really excited that our coach gives us that opportunity. And

135
00:08:19,600 --> 00:08:23,920
Speaker 3: apram I didn't play football. So you tell me when

136
00:08:23,960 --> 00:08:26,800
Speaker 3: I see you do that, it tells me you don't

137
00:08:26,800 --> 00:08:30,840
Speaker 3: believe in your team, not that you do. Think about

138
00:08:30,840 --> 00:08:35,000
Speaker 3: what you're doing. You're literally saying, hey, instead of going

139
00:08:35,440 --> 00:08:38,920
Speaker 3: mono a mono on our home field and let's go

140
00:08:39,000 --> 00:08:43,040
Speaker 3: to overtime on our home field. You're like, Eh, let's

141
00:08:43,040 --> 00:08:46,480
Speaker 3: see if we could just execute one play. That tells

142
00:08:46,520 --> 00:08:50,679
Speaker 3: me you don't believe in your guys, not the opposite.

143
00:08:50,920 --> 00:08:54,560
Speaker 4: Well, when you look at it like this, it's a

144
00:08:54,640 --> 00:09:01,360
Speaker 4: situation where the game was ugly, sure, game attel the

145
00:09:01,400 --> 00:09:05,839
Speaker 4: two halves for both teams, and you're at a situation

146
00:09:06,040 --> 00:09:09,760
Speaker 4: where you know the weather is is what the weather is,

147
00:09:11,280 --> 00:09:17,840
Speaker 4: and you feel like, okay, we've not only come back,

148
00:09:18,800 --> 00:09:23,960
Speaker 4: but we've given ourselves a chance to win the game

149
00:09:24,559 --> 00:09:31,480
Speaker 4: in one play. We're at home. The best player on

150
00:09:31,520 --> 00:09:36,319
Speaker 4: the planet in their eyes, has two yards and one

151
00:09:36,360 --> 00:09:39,680
Speaker 4: play to win the game. Would you bet on that?

152
00:09:41,440 --> 00:09:43,560
Speaker 2: I think I would, but I would have bet on

153
00:09:43,559 --> 00:09:44,360
Speaker 2: the opposite too.

154
00:09:44,720 --> 00:09:48,840
Speaker 3: Now, in other words, the Eagles hadn't scored in two hours, right,

155
00:09:49,080 --> 00:09:52,040
Speaker 3: and so I would bet on the Bills in overtime too.

156
00:09:52,600 --> 00:09:56,600
Speaker 4: You got to remember they struggle to score as well. Yes,

157
00:09:56,840 --> 00:10:00,480
Speaker 4: I know, and so they got an extra point blocked.

158
00:10:01,240 --> 00:10:05,520
Speaker 4: So now that's running through your head. Okay, if we

159
00:10:05,600 --> 00:10:07,800
Speaker 4: go back here and line up for this thing and

160
00:10:08,160 --> 00:10:10,840
Speaker 4: we get another one, like all of these things matter,

161
00:10:11,400 --> 00:10:15,240
Speaker 4: but the deciding factor, and I understand this from McDermott,

162
00:10:15,320 --> 00:10:19,720
Speaker 4: is I have essentially Superman with two yards and the win.

163
00:10:20,520 --> 00:10:24,040
Speaker 4: I'm betting on Superman, and I get it. In that situation.

164
00:10:24,280 --> 00:10:26,840
Speaker 4: Now we're offensively going up and down the court the

165
00:10:26,880 --> 00:10:29,840
Speaker 4: field and with scoring and everything is clicking. It was

166
00:10:29,960 --> 00:10:33,520
Speaker 4: like pulling teeth the entire game. Yep. Do you want

167
00:10:33,559 --> 00:10:36,880
Speaker 4: to go pull more teeth or do you want to

168
00:10:37,080 --> 00:10:41,320
Speaker 4: just right now? The play call absurd, like I don't

169
00:10:41,360 --> 00:10:44,320
Speaker 4: even know, I get it. You roll them out, you

170
00:10:44,360 --> 00:10:48,480
Speaker 4: give them more options and for all intents purposes, the

171
00:10:48,559 --> 00:10:52,560
Speaker 4: play was wide open and josh Air mild an easy

172
00:10:52,600 --> 00:10:58,280
Speaker 4: touchdown where no one was six yards six yards close

173
00:10:58,360 --> 00:11:01,520
Speaker 4: to the intend to receive. Yep. Now that's a Josh

174
00:11:01,520 --> 00:11:05,719
Speaker 4: Allen thing, right. They call the right play, they executed it,

175
00:11:06,280 --> 00:11:10,360
Speaker 4: and he missed a throw. As a coach, can you

176
00:11:10,440 --> 00:11:13,559
Speaker 4: live with that? I would? I would. I could live

177
00:11:13,600 --> 00:11:16,520
Speaker 4: with that because it's Josh Allen, He's the MVP, and

178
00:11:16,600 --> 00:11:21,000
Speaker 4: he makes that play nine out of ten times we

179
00:11:21,080 --> 00:11:26,360
Speaker 4: needed it. Now it didn't happen. The ramifications of that

180
00:11:26,520 --> 00:11:28,920
Speaker 4: is number one. Number one seed is off the table.

181
00:11:29,080 --> 00:11:32,760
Speaker 4: Now you have to travel. Buffalo would have a decidedly

182
00:11:35,400 --> 00:11:38,120
Speaker 4: a huge home field advantage in the playoffs because in

183
00:11:39,000 --> 00:11:45,080
Speaker 4: late December and well January correct, they're building a whole

184
00:11:45,200 --> 00:11:50,640
Speaker 4: nother stadium because of what weather looks like out there

185
00:11:50,920 --> 00:11:54,559
Speaker 4: in January, and so you would have the advantage of

186
00:11:55,000 --> 00:11:57,079
Speaker 4: being in that and practicing that and playing in that.

187
00:11:58,360 --> 00:12:02,800
Speaker 4: It's difficult to play in. You've given that up, But

188
00:12:03,200 --> 00:12:06,720
Speaker 4: I understand the thought process. This has been a tough,

189
00:12:06,840 --> 00:12:14,120
Speaker 4: tough game, both offensively defensively. Let's get it over with now,

190
00:12:14,320 --> 00:12:17,080
Speaker 4: and I will put my chips on on Josh Allen

191
00:12:17,160 --> 00:12:21,040
Speaker 4: if he's that guy. I get it.

192
00:12:21,240 --> 00:12:26,920
Speaker 3: Like even what you're saying right now is analytics, Like,

193
00:12:27,440 --> 00:12:31,600
Speaker 3: I get it, but I also think it is yet

194
00:12:31,640 --> 00:12:33,760
Speaker 3: another symptom of the disease.

195
00:12:35,200 --> 00:12:37,080
Speaker 4: Yeah, but I don't think. I don't think any team

196
00:12:37,160 --> 00:12:41,760
Speaker 4: has blocked more kids kicks this year than than Philadelphia

197
00:12:44,520 --> 00:12:45,480
Speaker 4: for whatever reason.

198
00:12:46,040 --> 00:12:48,439
Speaker 3: At no point am I lining up for an extra

199
00:12:48,520 --> 00:12:52,800
Speaker 3: point and thinking to myself, well, it might get blocked earlier.

200
00:12:53,200 --> 00:12:56,559
Speaker 3: I understand that. To my thinking, it's all the more

201
00:12:56,600 --> 00:12:58,079
Speaker 3: reason that it shouldn't happen again.

202
00:12:58,440 --> 00:13:02,440
Speaker 4: Isn't phil the team that blocked the kick scooped it

203
00:13:02,520 --> 00:13:06,480
Speaker 4: up and scored to win the game this year? Kicks

204
00:13:06,520 --> 00:13:08,360
Speaker 4: in that game that was a field goal?

205
00:13:08,400 --> 00:13:10,520
Speaker 3: But yeah, and the Rams special team has been a

206
00:13:10,520 --> 00:13:11,440
Speaker 3: hot mess all year.

207
00:13:11,600 --> 00:13:13,840
Speaker 4: But what I'm saying is they have a history of that.

208
00:13:14,440 --> 00:13:17,160
Speaker 4: I would bet on my quarter. I would bet on

209
00:13:17,160 --> 00:13:20,040
Speaker 4: my MVP than the kicker, That's all I'm gonna say. Yep,

210
00:13:20,160 --> 00:13:23,040
Speaker 4: you know how I feel about kickers. I know I'm

211
00:13:23,080 --> 00:13:29,080
Speaker 4: going to bet on the MVP Superman himself over my

212
00:13:29,200 --> 00:13:33,439
Speaker 4: kicker and Rainy Stormy Weather all of that. So I

213
00:13:33,559 --> 00:13:36,040
Speaker 4: understand that normally I'm on the other side of the

214
00:13:36,040 --> 00:13:39,200
Speaker 4: coin with you, like yo, bro get the points list.

215
00:13:39,600 --> 00:13:43,160
Speaker 4: But in this situation with Josh Allen at the helm,

216
00:13:43,520 --> 00:13:47,440
Speaker 4: after finally getting over the hump of I mean, so

217
00:13:47,520 --> 00:13:50,360
Speaker 4: it took some miraculous plays for them even to score

218
00:13:50,400 --> 00:13:53,719
Speaker 4: the touchdown for sure. And so do I want to

219
00:13:53,760 --> 00:13:57,360
Speaker 4: go a whole another ten minutes of trying to figure

220
00:13:57,360 --> 00:14:01,280
Speaker 4: that thing out? Or do I want to be right

221
00:14:01,320 --> 00:14:04,840
Speaker 4: here with the chance to win it and four seconds?

222
00:14:05,080 --> 00:14:08,559
Speaker 3: Well, I think that this is related to what we

223
00:14:08,600 --> 00:14:13,560
Speaker 3: see teams do on fourth down throughout the league. I

224
00:14:13,600 --> 00:14:16,040
Speaker 3: did a little bit of a dive to check in

225
00:14:16,320 --> 00:14:20,080
Speaker 3: on the analytics of the analytics. So, in other words,

226
00:14:20,440 --> 00:14:22,800
Speaker 3: the teams that go ford a lot on fourth down?

227
00:14:23,040 --> 00:14:25,680
Speaker 3: Are they good teams? The teams that don't go for

228
00:14:25,760 --> 00:14:29,320
Speaker 3: it a lot on fourth down? Are they good teams? Yeah,

229
00:14:29,880 --> 00:14:32,000
Speaker 3: let me dive into that a little bit. Coming up next. Plus,

230
00:14:32,040 --> 00:14:34,680
Speaker 3: we got to set the table for a very fancy

231
00:14:34,840 --> 00:14:38,000
Speaker 3: Sunday night football game that's about to kick off in

232
00:14:38,240 --> 00:14:40,680
Speaker 3: Santa Clara. The forty nine Ers and Bears are both

233
00:14:40,760 --> 00:14:44,560
Speaker 3: eleven and four. Both of them still have potential designs

234
00:14:44,920 --> 00:14:49,160
Speaker 3: on the number one overall seed in the NFC. If

235
00:14:49,200 --> 00:14:52,280
Speaker 3: the Bears win, then the Niners can help the Bears

236
00:14:52,320 --> 00:14:54,880
Speaker 3: get that next week. If the Niners win, then the

237
00:14:55,000 --> 00:14:57,480
Speaker 3: Niners and Seahawks basically have a game for the one

238
00:14:57,520 --> 00:15:00,880
Speaker 3: seed next week. So this is good with love your

239
00:15:00,880 --> 00:15:03,360
Speaker 3: thoughts on this before it kicks off, so we'll get

240
00:15:03,400 --> 00:15:06,160
Speaker 3: all of that coming up next. We are live in

241
00:15:06,200 --> 00:15:09,360

271
00:16:33,800 --> 00:16:35,960
Speaker 3: is in the air. Niners are gonna have the ball

272
00:16:36,040 --> 00:16:39,040
Speaker 3: first one tonight. I was going to eleven and four.

273
00:16:39,120 --> 00:16:40,960
Speaker 3: Let's go. Gonna ask you the same thing.

274
00:16:41,040 --> 00:16:43,240
Speaker 4: I mean, you have a vested interest, so I would

275
00:16:43,360 --> 00:16:46,840
Speaker 4: I would defer to you in this absolutely well.

276
00:16:47,320 --> 00:16:49,760
Speaker 3: To me, the entire thing to watch for is whether

277
00:16:49,840 --> 00:16:52,280
Speaker 3: or not the forty nine ers take care of the football.

278
00:16:52,400 --> 00:16:55,120
Speaker 3: The Chicago Bears this year, I think they're a good team.

279
00:16:55,160 --> 00:16:57,080
Speaker 3: I don't think they're a great team, but they lead

280
00:16:57,160 --> 00:16:59,960
Speaker 3: the entire NFL in both turnovers and turnover mark.

281
00:17:00,640 --> 00:17:02,840
Speaker 2: That is how they get their job done.

282
00:17:03,280 --> 00:17:05,600
Speaker 3: If you take care of the ball, you stop them

283
00:17:05,600 --> 00:17:07,000
Speaker 3: from getting their job done.

284
00:17:07,560 --> 00:17:09,800
Speaker 2: But you know, the absence of George Kittle.

285
00:17:09,840 --> 00:17:12,480
Speaker 4: We saw early in the there you.

286
00:17:12,440 --> 00:17:16,119
Speaker 3: Go, very first play of the game is a is

287
00:17:16,119 --> 00:17:18,520
Speaker 3: a tip ball and a pick six and the Bears

288
00:17:18,520 --> 00:17:19,200
Speaker 3: are on the board.

289
00:17:19,880 --> 00:17:20,679
Speaker 4: What were you saying.

290
00:17:20,760 --> 00:17:23,480
Speaker 2: I was just saying, maybe take care of the ball tonight.

291
00:17:24,600 --> 00:17:28,040
Speaker 4: Yeah, brother, we couldn't have planned that. I'm so glad.

292
00:17:28,080 --> 00:17:31,280
Speaker 4: I defer to you that was right on time. Yep.

293
00:17:31,520 --> 00:17:34,240
Speaker 3: That's what the Bears do, man, They're number one. This

294
00:17:34,440 --> 00:17:38,520
Speaker 3: is what they do. And I like, I wonder sometimes

295
00:17:38,800 --> 00:17:41,159
Speaker 3: and we're getting another look at this to kind of

296
00:17:41,160 --> 00:17:43,280
Speaker 3: see what this is on This just is a great job,

297
00:17:43,400 --> 00:17:49,399
Speaker 3: great job, this is a great play. But yep, yep,

298
00:17:49,520 --> 00:17:52,040
Speaker 3: Like you know, Juwan Jennings on a little inn and

299
00:17:52,359 --> 00:17:54,679
Speaker 3: Johnson got there first, tip the ball up in the

300
00:17:54,720 --> 00:17:57,440
Speaker 3: air and there you go. This is what the Bears do.

301
00:17:57,520 --> 00:18:01,760
Speaker 3: It's what the Jags do. Also, it's how they have

302
00:18:01,840 --> 00:18:06,040
Speaker 3: both arrived at the records they have. Sometimes I wonder

303
00:18:06,720 --> 00:18:11,960
Speaker 3: how like sustainable of a process that is, you know

304
00:18:11,960 --> 00:18:13,280
Speaker 3: what I mean our turnovers?

305
00:18:13,400 --> 00:18:15,160
Speaker 2: Breaks? Do you make the breaks?

306
00:18:15,600 --> 00:18:17,840
Speaker 3: But this is what the Bears and Jacks are doing, man,

307
00:18:17,960 --> 00:18:20,040
Speaker 3: And as long as they keep doing it, they're gonna

308
00:18:20,080 --> 00:18:20,520
Speaker 3: keep winning.

309
00:18:20,520 --> 00:18:23,560
Speaker 4: Well, let me give the listeners a little bit of

310
00:18:23,600 --> 00:18:29,400
Speaker 4: insight on why teams that historically win to turnover margin

311
00:18:30,000 --> 00:18:34,520
Speaker 4: by large sums, why they're more than likely going to

312
00:18:34,560 --> 00:18:39,239
Speaker 4: make the playoffs. When you break it down into the

313
00:18:39,280 --> 00:18:45,000
Speaker 4: simplest form, it's about possessions. So you would think, if

314
00:18:45,040 --> 00:18:52,160
Speaker 4: you can get three possessions a quarter, right, that's six

315
00:18:52,200 --> 00:18:56,080
Speaker 4: and a half, that's twelve in a game, that's what

316
00:18:56,119 --> 00:18:58,520
Speaker 4: you want. You want to at least get three possessions,

317
00:18:59,119 --> 00:19:01,439
Speaker 4: and of course not, sometimes you get more, sometimes you

318
00:19:01,440 --> 00:19:04,120
Speaker 4: get less, depending on the other team. All right, team

319
00:19:04,119 --> 00:19:07,360
Speaker 4: goes on the seventeen play drive, eats up nine minutes. Yeah,

320
00:19:07,400 --> 00:19:10,480
Speaker 4: you're not gonna get three in a quarter. That's designed

321
00:19:10,480 --> 00:19:12,160
Speaker 4: for you to go out there and get as many

322
00:19:12,160 --> 00:19:15,040
Speaker 4: three and outs as you can by your defense, or

323
00:19:15,119 --> 00:19:18,679
Speaker 4: turn the ball over to get more. Once So, the

324
00:19:18,680 --> 00:19:22,840
Speaker 4: forty nine ers have already ended one of their possessions, correct,

325
00:19:24,000 --> 00:19:29,160
Speaker 4: and without the Chicago Bears having an offensive possession, they've

326
00:19:29,160 --> 00:19:33,320
Speaker 4: already scored. Now you're two fold behind the eight ball,

327
00:19:33,840 --> 00:19:37,359
Speaker 4: double space behind the eight ball. Number one, you've given

328
00:19:37,400 --> 00:19:42,760
Speaker 4: away a possession number two. You're down now. So if

329
00:19:42,800 --> 00:19:46,760
Speaker 4: the Bears come out and they have three possessions this quarter.

330
00:19:48,560 --> 00:19:51,639
Speaker 4: They've already playing with house money. Okay, So in the

331
00:19:51,680 --> 00:19:57,680
Speaker 4: simplest form, when teams can gain extra possessions for their offense,

332
00:19:57,680 --> 00:20:01,440
Speaker 4: when defenses can do that, it bowls well. Number one,

333
00:20:01,520 --> 00:20:04,360
Speaker 4: you eat up more clock. Number two, you give your

334
00:20:04,359 --> 00:20:07,120
Speaker 4: offense a chance to really score. Now, in this situation,

335
00:20:07,280 --> 00:20:11,560
Speaker 4: the defense scored for you. Right, it's been fifteen seconds

336
00:20:11,560 --> 00:20:15,240
Speaker 4: of the game, right right, You're already down. So now

337
00:20:15,359 --> 00:20:18,199
Speaker 4: you have to climb a hill. They have to score

338
00:20:18,520 --> 00:20:24,320
Speaker 4: in this possession to just even it back up. And

339
00:20:25,040 --> 00:20:28,960
Speaker 4: that's one of the reasons why the turnover margin is

340
00:20:29,000 --> 00:20:32,440
Speaker 4: so important, because the more possessions you have, you take

341
00:20:33,240 --> 00:20:38,119
Speaker 4: opportunity from the opposing offense and you have the ability

342
00:20:38,440 --> 00:20:40,800
Speaker 4: to manage the clock and put points on the board.

343
00:20:40,960 --> 00:20:44,159
Speaker 3: I mean, when it happens that fast, you're essentially just

344
00:20:44,200 --> 00:20:46,840
Speaker 3: being like, well, let's just start they start over start

345
00:20:46,840 --> 00:20:49,040
Speaker 3: the game with the Bears up seven nothing, yes, you

346
00:20:49,200 --> 00:20:52,440
Speaker 3: just you know, And the Niners got the opening kick,

347
00:20:52,600 --> 00:20:54,399
Speaker 3: So that means the Bears now get a seven to

348
00:20:54,440 --> 00:20:55,280
Speaker 3: nothing lead.

349
00:20:55,240 --> 00:20:56,800
Speaker 4: And get another possession.

350
00:20:57,520 --> 00:21:00,280
Speaker 3: They get the ball to start the second half, which

351
00:21:00,320 --> 00:21:02,240
Speaker 3: is a very sought after thing.

352
00:21:02,640 --> 00:21:06,280
Speaker 4: And go three and out right and they've got third

353
00:21:06,320 --> 00:21:09,240
Speaker 4: and long. Now, this is when it stacks against you

354
00:21:09,280 --> 00:21:11,560
Speaker 4: when you when you start the game like that, this

355
00:21:11,680 --> 00:21:13,760
Speaker 4: is when it stacks against you because if you now

356
00:21:13,840 --> 00:21:16,680
Speaker 4: go three and out and they get the bar the ball,

357
00:21:16,840 --> 00:21:19,080
Speaker 4: even though only on the road, with all the momentum,

358
00:21:19,760 --> 00:21:20,800
Speaker 4: now you're in full long.

359
00:21:20,880 --> 00:21:23,760
Speaker 3: You're in trouble. And this forty nine Ers defense is young.

360
00:21:23,840 --> 00:21:26,280
Speaker 3: They will be challenged by everybody. We know the forty

361
00:21:26,359 --> 00:21:29,080
Speaker 3: nine Ers, they do their business right now by kind

362
00:21:29,080 --> 00:21:32,240
Speaker 3: of outscoring people. They don't have a great defense because

363
00:21:32,280 --> 00:21:35,800
Speaker 3: they've lost their two best defensive players, and tonight, by

364
00:21:35,840 --> 00:21:37,000
Speaker 3: the way, they don't have.

365
00:21:37,400 --> 00:21:38,399
Speaker 2: George Kittle either.

366
00:21:38,880 --> 00:21:41,920
Speaker 3: Now George Kittle's backup or one of his backups actually

367
00:21:42,040 --> 00:21:45,080
Speaker 3: just converted that third down, so the Niners go into

368
00:21:45,119 --> 00:21:48,200
Speaker 3: Bears territory, and that's a big that's an effective play.

369
00:21:48,240 --> 00:21:51,920
Speaker 3: But still it's to the point that you just made.

370
00:21:52,160 --> 00:21:57,040
Speaker 3: I'm in full agreement. What happened to Trent Williams. I

371
00:21:57,080 --> 00:22:00,240
Speaker 3: don't know he started the game. Look at that he

372
00:22:00,320 --> 00:22:03,280
Speaker 3: is no longer in the Gaston pleasance in the game, so.

373
00:22:03,320 --> 00:22:06,440
Speaker 4: I'm wondering if something happened to him maybe on the

374
00:22:06,480 --> 00:22:08,440
Speaker 4: interception return.

375
00:22:08,840 --> 00:22:10,399
Speaker 2: That's a good point.

376
00:22:10,920 --> 00:22:15,000
Speaker 4: He's in the medical tent and that doesn't that is

377
00:22:15,040 --> 00:22:15,879
Speaker 4: a huge problem.

378
00:22:15,920 --> 00:22:17,760
Speaker 3: Well, I could have told you that was coming, because

379
00:22:17,800 --> 00:22:20,719
Speaker 3: for whatever reason, last week was the week where everyone

380
00:22:20,840 --> 00:22:26,880
Speaker 3: sort of noticed that Trent was having a fully healthy year. Honestly,

381
00:22:27,040 --> 00:22:29,280
Speaker 3: I'm not kidding. Like you started to hear people talk

382
00:22:29,320 --> 00:22:32,000
Speaker 3: about it. You're like, you know why he quiet because

383
00:22:32,000 --> 00:22:34,520
Speaker 3: he's coming into this year and he's getting old. And

384
00:22:34,520 --> 00:22:37,359
Speaker 3: everyone was like, remember he did the interview after Monday

385
00:22:37,440 --> 00:22:40,439
Speaker 3: Night football and everyone's chanting one more year and he's like,

386
00:22:40,480 --> 00:22:43,600
Speaker 3: I'm not going anywhere. I'm doing more than one more year.

387
00:22:44,040 --> 00:22:46,720
Speaker 3: So everyone started talking about point. You know what, Trent

388
00:22:46,840 --> 00:22:49,760
Speaker 3: actually is playing well and he's made it through the

389
00:22:49,800 --> 00:22:51,880
Speaker 3: whole season healthy.

390
00:22:52,240 --> 00:22:53,879
Speaker 2: That lasted one play.

391
00:22:54,480 --> 00:22:57,720
Speaker 4: Good lord, Yeah, and I hope it's okay. And if

392
00:22:57,720 --> 00:23:01,520
Speaker 4: there's any news about him, I'm sure this person could

393
00:23:01,680 --> 00:23:05,119
Speaker 4: let us know. And that is one steep to sacre boom.

394
00:23:05,440 --> 00:23:08,880
Speaker 7: Good evening to you, gentlemen. Is already seven to nothing

395
00:23:09,000 --> 00:23:11,919
Speaker 7: Bears at San Francisco and the opening couple of minutes

396
00:23:11,920 --> 00:23:14,800
Speaker 7: in this game, we'll get to the Philadelphia and Giants

397
00:23:14,840 --> 00:23:18,080
Speaker 7: wins in a moment. But the Bears now have twenty

398
00:23:18,200 --> 00:23:21,880
Speaker 7: two interceptions in NFL high this year. And yes, tight

399
00:23:21,960 --> 00:23:24,920
Speaker 7: end George Kittle is out with an ankle injury. One

400
00:23:24,960 --> 00:23:27,520
Speaker 7: of the Niners beat writers points out there, with Kittle

401
00:23:27,640 --> 00:23:30,199
Speaker 7: on the field, how much better the run game is

402
00:23:30,280 --> 00:23:33,040
Speaker 7: this season? It's over four yards of carry and eleven

403
00:23:33,119 --> 00:23:36,200
Speaker 7: touchdown runs with him on the field, but with him

404
00:23:36,600 --> 00:23:39,520
Speaker 7: off the field, it's three yards of carry and one

405
00:23:39,640 --> 00:23:43,080
Speaker 7: rushing touchdown. This year, they do have not only Juwan

406
00:23:43,160 --> 00:23:46,520
Speaker 7: Jennings that you mentioned, Ricky pearsall wide receiver is active

407
00:23:46,520 --> 00:23:50,400
Speaker 7: for this game tonight, but it is, believe it or not,

408
00:23:51,200 --> 00:23:55,800
Speaker 7: an early and I mean early score. First play from

409
00:23:55,880 --> 00:24:00,520
Speaker 7: scrimmage for the visitors from Chicago, who we have a

410
00:24:00,600 --> 00:24:04,159
Speaker 7: path to a one seed here with a win tonight.

411
00:24:04,200 --> 00:24:05,840
Speaker 7: Now the forty nine ers will be the one seed

412
00:24:05,880 --> 00:24:08,080
Speaker 7: in the NFC if they win their last two games.

413
00:24:08,119 --> 00:24:12,440
Speaker 7: The finale is against the Seahawks. How are things gonna

414
00:24:12,520 --> 00:24:16,520
Speaker 7: be if the Niners fall behind? And yes, left tackle

415
00:24:16,600 --> 00:24:20,440
Speaker 7: Trent Williams is in the medical tent, so Austin pleasants

416
00:24:20,480 --> 00:24:23,959
Speaker 7: at less left tackle to open that second drive of

417
00:24:24,000 --> 00:24:26,800
Speaker 7: the night. Wow, seven to nothing. Bears quickly in a

418
00:24:26,800 --> 00:24:31,000
Speaker 7: battle of eleven and four teams at Buffalo, Philadelphia ended

419
00:24:31,000 --> 00:24:33,880
Speaker 7: the Bills four game winning streak thirteen to twelve. Eagles

420
00:24:33,920 --> 00:24:37,119
Speaker 7: led thirteen to nothing at the half. Philadelphia's defense with

421
00:24:37,200 --> 00:24:40,000
Speaker 7: five sacks last week, and Philly clinch back to back

422
00:24:40,040 --> 00:24:43,720

Speaker 7: playing tomorrow night at Atlanta. For the moment, the Rams

433
00:25:15,840 --> 00:25:19,359
Speaker 7: are way down at seed number six. That's how competitive

434
00:25:19,359 --> 00:25:22,280
Speaker 7: things are in the conference. Miami at home beats slumping

435
00:25:22,320 --> 00:25:25,000

436
00:25:25,040 --> 00:25:27,720

Speaker 7: six in a row. The Colts were eliminated Saturday, so

443

00:27:03,320 --> 00:27:06,560
Speaker 7: two at Chicago in the second period. Wins today for

467
00:27:06,760 --> 00:27:10,200
Speaker 7: Columbus for the Lightning in a shootout. And now about

468
00:27:10,240 --> 00:27:13,359
Speaker 7: these Raiders who are two and fourteen and have lost

469
00:27:13,440 --> 00:27:16,080
Speaker 7: ten in a row. And Gino Smith, who had one

470
00:27:16,160 --> 00:27:20,160
Speaker 7: touchdown two interceptions, left with an ankle injury. He's thrown

471
00:27:20,200 --> 00:27:24,280
Speaker 7: the most interceptions for any Raiders quarterback since Kerry Collins

472
00:27:24,680 --> 00:27:28,199
Speaker 7: over twenty years ago. For the Giants to get this

473
00:27:28,359 --> 00:27:33,120
Speaker 7: win and this final score a lopsided win, apparently, it's

474
00:27:33,160 --> 00:27:36,480
Speaker 7: only the second time in the last eleven seasons they

475
00:27:36,520 --> 00:27:39,920
Speaker 7: had even led a road game by twenty more points.

476
00:27:40,200 --> 00:27:44,040
Speaker 7: So two great items from Associated Press in the Bay Area.

477
00:27:44,080 --> 00:27:48,000
Speaker 7: Who has the most victories? What NFL team at a

478
00:27:48,080 --> 00:27:51,359
Speaker 7: legiant stadium in twenty twenty five because the Raiders have

479
00:27:51,480 --> 00:27:54,800
Speaker 7: won they lost at home today? The answer the Chargers

480
00:27:54,800 --> 00:27:58,719
Speaker 7: have two because they finished last year in January of

481
00:27:58,840 --> 00:28:01,560
Speaker 7: twenty twenty five a win and then beat him there

482
00:28:01,640 --> 00:28:04,640
Speaker 7: this season in September. There's a team that has more

483
00:28:04,720 --> 00:28:09,520
Speaker 7: wins in the Raiders stadium than the Raiders do. And

484
00:28:09,640 --> 00:28:13,119
Speaker 7: Pete Carroll losing again by twenty four So how many

485
00:28:13,200 --> 00:28:17,440
Speaker 7: times in his NFL career has he lost games by

486
00:28:17,480 --> 00:28:20,520
Speaker 7: twenty four points or more? Well, his first season years

487
00:28:20,560 --> 00:28:23,160
Speaker 7: ago with the Jets, he didn't lose a single game

488
00:28:23,200 --> 00:28:25,919
Speaker 7: by twenty four and then his years with the Patriots

489
00:28:25,920 --> 00:28:29,440
Speaker 7: that's about fifty games worth of coaching. Only once all

490
00:28:29,480 --> 00:28:32,640
Speaker 7: his years with Seattle that's almost two hundred and fifty games.

491
00:28:32,720 --> 00:28:35,280
Speaker 7: Just six times did he lose by twenty four points

492
00:28:35,400 --> 00:28:39,680
Speaker 7: or more. Already in one season with the Raiders four times,

493
00:28:39,920 --> 00:28:43,280
Speaker 7: including against the Giants. For crying out loud, he's lost

494
00:28:43,320 --> 00:28:44,640
Speaker 7: by twenty four or more.

495
00:28:44,720 --> 00:28:49,600
Speaker 3: Back to you, So for years wherever the Chargers play

496
00:28:49,880 --> 00:28:51,920
Speaker 3: has been the Raiders actual.

497
00:28:51,560 --> 00:28:55,640
Speaker 7: Home, you could term it that way.

498
00:28:55,680 --> 00:28:59,320
Speaker 3: And now where the Raiders play is the Chargers home

499
00:29:00,120 --> 00:29:04,240
Speaker 3: wonderful as well as as a nice little turnabout is fair.

500
00:29:04,080 --> 00:29:05,920
Speaker 7: Play there, And it was brought up by one of

501
00:29:05,920 --> 00:29:08,240
Speaker 7: the guests last night that it's kind of the Raiders

502
00:29:08,280 --> 00:29:11,880
Speaker 7: have taken over as the location in the NFL where

503
00:29:11,920 --> 00:29:13,440
Speaker 7: the visiting fans dominate.

504
00:29:13,960 --> 00:29:16,080

00:29:30,200 --> 00:29:31,720
Speaker 3: It's kind of like if I'm at a bar, I'm

512
00:29:31,720 --> 00:29:34,280
Speaker 3: not going to ask how much are the cocktails before

00:29:57,120 --> 00:29:59,920
Speaker 7: It's the master's or right game I.

00:30:02,880 --> 00:30:03,080
Speaker 4: Right?

523
00:30:03,920 --> 00:30:06,080
Speaker 3: And then they gave me all the stuff that I ordered,

524
00:30:06,200 --> 00:30:08,360
Speaker 3: and they're like, that'll be thirteen dollars.

525
00:30:08,480 --> 00:30:09,120
Speaker 4: It's amazing.

526
00:30:09,560 --> 00:30:15,320
Speaker 3: I was like, now that boom, that's like wow, does

527
00:30:15,360 --> 00:30:17,080
Speaker 3: that change the stadium experience?

528
00:30:17,160 --> 00:30:19,760
Speaker 7: Now? People need to know what these new stadiums, these

529
00:30:19,760 --> 00:30:21,200
Speaker 7: are cash less venues.

530
00:30:21,240 --> 00:30:21,480
Speaker 4: Now.

531
00:30:21,680 --> 00:30:25,400
Speaker 7: Yes, early in the existence of Allegian Stadium in Los Vegers,

532
00:30:25,800 --> 00:30:27,520
Speaker 7: everything went down. I don't know if it was a

533
00:30:27,520 --> 00:30:30,480
Speaker 7: football or a wrestling show or something, but they wound

534
00:30:30,560 --> 00:30:32,760
Speaker 7: up having to give away hot dogs stuff they had

535
00:30:32,800 --> 00:30:36,320
Speaker 7: already cooked, and they could not accept cash. They're just

536
00:30:36,560 --> 00:30:39,760
Speaker 7: not set up for that. Everything is cashless.

537
00:30:39,280 --> 00:30:42,400
Speaker 2: Right, So but this in this case, things were working.

538
00:30:42,480 --> 00:30:44,400
Speaker 3: I used the card and everything, and then they gave

539
00:30:44,440 --> 00:30:46,480
Speaker 3: me all the stuff and it was like thirteen dollars.

540
00:30:47,080 --> 00:30:48,000
Speaker 2: So I was like, okay.

541
00:30:48,200 --> 00:30:50,600
Speaker 7: By the way, one of the longest lines at Dodger

542
00:30:50,640 --> 00:30:53,400
Speaker 7: Stadium now that they're cashless is the line to trade

543
00:30:53,480 --> 00:30:56,280
Speaker 7: in your cash for a card to use at the

544
00:30:56,360 --> 00:30:57,280
Speaker 7: concession stand.

545
00:30:57,480 --> 00:30:57,800
Speaker 4: Yeah.

Speaker 4: my neck.

Speaker 3: my nieces and nephews about my aging parents and all

571
00:32:05,000 --> 00:32:06,880
Speaker 3: of the like I had to set the uber ap

572
00:32:07,080 --> 00:32:10,760
Speaker 3: up from my parents. You know, I don't know how

573
00:32:10,760 --> 00:32:13,320
Speaker 3: to do this, and and and they're you know, like

574
00:32:13,400 --> 00:32:16,520
Speaker 3: At one point, my sister jokes with the kids, goes, now, see,

575
00:32:16,560 --> 00:32:19,080
Speaker 3: this is what it's like. So in another thirty years,

576
00:32:19,720 --> 00:32:22,920
Speaker 3: you're going to need to help us and and.

577
00:32:22,960 --> 00:32:24,360
Speaker 2: Be nice to us and everything.

578
00:32:24,760 --> 00:32:27,800
Speaker 3: And my niece goes, well, but you guys get all

579
00:32:27,840 --> 00:32:31,880
Speaker 3: of this stuff so like it'll be I'm like, right,

580
00:32:32,040 --> 00:32:34,680
Speaker 3: but this stuff isn't going to be the stuff anymore.

581
00:32:35,480 --> 00:32:37,760
Speaker 2: Like I think what you guys just.

582
00:32:37,480 --> 00:32:41,160
Speaker 3: Said, like barcodes and walking in places where people are

583
00:32:41,160 --> 00:32:42,440
Speaker 3: reading our minds and the stuff.

584
00:32:42,480 --> 00:32:45,400
Speaker 4: But what I'll tell you, we have an advantage over

585
00:32:45,440 --> 00:32:49,040
Speaker 4: our parents' generation. How so because we grew up with

586
00:32:49,240 --> 00:32:53,040
Speaker 4: technology in our You're correct.

587
00:32:53,600 --> 00:32:55,560
Speaker 7: I knew a person who was a teacher and in

588
00:32:55,600 --> 00:32:59,280
Speaker 7: their final years of teaching, it was mandatory for all

589
00:32:59,320 --> 00:33:02,960
Speaker 7: teachers to check the work email, turn on the computer

590
00:33:03,080 --> 00:33:06,960
Speaker 7: and everything instead of putting notes in your box physically. Yeah,

591
00:33:07,000 --> 00:33:10,520
Speaker 7: so this teacher before retirement simply learned how to turn

592
00:33:10,640 --> 00:33:13,880
Speaker 7: on and check the email and could do nothing else

593
00:33:13,920 --> 00:33:15,680
Speaker 7: with a computer at home or work.

594
00:33:16,520 --> 00:33:24,000
Speaker 4: One of my son's second grade teacher refused to use

595
00:33:24,320 --> 00:33:30,160
Speaker 4: the chromebooks like she refused to use all on schools

596
00:33:30,160 --> 00:33:34,280
Speaker 4: across the country. Everybody's doing their work on chromebooks, right,

597
00:33:34,400 --> 00:33:37,560
Speaker 4: And so she refused to do technology in our class well,

598
00:33:38,360 --> 00:33:41,040
Speaker 4: and so she retired after that year.

599
00:33:41,200 --> 00:33:44,360
Speaker 7: It's not that far different than when everything went to

600
00:33:44,440 --> 00:33:48,080
Speaker 7: tablet on the NFL sideline. You recall old school Bill

601
00:33:48,120 --> 00:33:51,120
Speaker 7: Belichick's reaction to said tablet on the sideline.

602
00:33:51,840 --> 00:33:54,560
Speaker 4: But for us, like we grew up with video games,

603
00:33:54,560 --> 00:34:00,800
Speaker 4: we grew up with Apple music, we grew up with iPhones.

604
00:34:00,040 --> 00:34:02,000
Speaker 7: Young enough when cell phones came about at.

605
00:34:01,960 --> 00:34:04,760
Speaker 4: All, our parents had radio.

606
00:34:04,960 --> 00:34:05,880
Speaker 7: Nothing was digital.

607
00:34:06,280 --> 00:34:07,560
Speaker 4: They had the radio.

608
00:34:07,720 --> 00:34:10,720
Speaker 3: I'm gonna trust you, okay, calling you in thirty years

609
00:34:10,719 --> 00:34:12,279
Speaker 3: when I don't get what the hell's going on.

610
00:34:12,360 --> 00:34:15,440
Speaker 4: Yeah, but you're you're more apt to understand it because

611
00:34:15,480 --> 00:34:19,239
Speaker 4: you haven't it. You look when I told my like

612
00:34:19,320 --> 00:34:21,960
Speaker 4: when my dad got you know, before he passed away,

613
00:34:22,280 --> 00:34:23,920
Speaker 4: and he had all these apps on his phone and

614
00:34:23,920 --> 00:34:26,279
Speaker 4: all that he was trying to figure it out. He

615
00:34:26,360 --> 00:34:29,440
Speaker 4: would be telling me stories. I remember if I wanted

616
00:34:29,480 --> 00:34:31,960
Speaker 4: to you know, I had the kitchen in the court

617
00:34:32,160 --> 00:34:36,279
Speaker 4: and they had to hustle home to get to I said, okay, Dad, yeah,

618
00:34:36,280 --> 00:34:36,480
Speaker 4: I know.

619
00:34:37,239 --> 00:34:40,759
Speaker 7: Yes, the antenna on top of the team, right, I

620
00:34:41,280 --> 00:34:43,000
Speaker 7: had to have one foot off the ground.

621
00:34:43,080 --> 00:34:47,080
Speaker 4: That was his youth, like we cell phones came out

622
00:34:47,480 --> 00:34:50,359
Speaker 4: when I was a freshman in college, when really everybody

623
00:34:50,400 --> 00:34:52,560
Speaker 4: could have them and get them and stuff like that.

624
00:34:52,680 --> 00:34:57,080
Speaker 4: So I'm sixteen, seventeen years old. So I grew up

625
00:34:57,239 --> 00:34:59,320
Speaker 4: with the notion of being able to talk to somebody

626
00:34:59,360 --> 00:35:02,000
Speaker 4: outside of that house anytime I wanted to. It's not

627
00:35:02,120 --> 00:35:06,520
Speaker 4: foreign to me. Like my kids, they've never they don't

628
00:35:06,600 --> 00:35:11,120
Speaker 4: know what it's like to not see a person when

629
00:35:11,120 --> 00:35:13,560
Speaker 4: you talk to them. I would hand them the phone

630
00:35:13,560 --> 00:35:15,279
Speaker 4: and my mom or somebody would be on the phone,

631
00:35:15,280 --> 00:35:16,560
Speaker 4: but like, hey, Grandma wants to talk to you, and

632
00:35:16,600 --> 00:35:18,719
Speaker 4: they would look at it like where is she right,

633
00:35:18,760 --> 00:35:20,160
Speaker 4: I'm like, no, man, hold up to your ear.

634
00:35:20,520 --> 00:35:21,520
Speaker 7: We inside the phone.

635
00:35:21,560 --> 00:35:24,600
Speaker 4: So we had a cordless phone, right that we just

636
00:35:24,680 --> 00:35:27,839
Speaker 4: had for emergencies. I don't know what for the grid

637
00:35:27,960 --> 00:35:31,800
Speaker 4: goes down, it goes down, I don't know, right, And

638
00:35:32,040 --> 00:35:35,839
Speaker 4: so it was a situation where it was like, all right,

639
00:35:37,200 --> 00:35:39,000
Speaker 4: I gave the cordless phone to my son and I

640
00:35:39,120 --> 00:35:41,800
Speaker 4: was like, hey, can you turn this phone on to

641
00:35:41,840 --> 00:35:48,839
Speaker 4: make a call. He said, yeah, that's a nuh Now,

642
00:35:48,960 --> 00:35:53,400
Speaker 4: remind you just one of the plays talks again, right, Like,

643
00:35:53,560 --> 00:35:59,280
Speaker 4: So the fact that we we are the generation Mark

644
00:35:59,600 --> 00:36:03,400
Speaker 4: that had both. Okay, I'm gonna tell.

645
00:36:03,320 --> 00:36:06,080
Speaker 7: You technological baby boomers.

646
00:36:06,160 --> 00:36:10,160
Speaker 2: Yes, I feel better now. I feel better by the.

647
00:36:10,160 --> 00:36:12,600
Speaker 7: Way I'm forty nine. Update before we break is that

648
00:36:12,640 --> 00:36:16,680
Speaker 7: Trent Williams is questionable to return with a hamstring injury

649
00:36:16,840 --> 00:36:18,800
Speaker 7: injured on the pick six first place.

650
00:36:18,680 --> 00:36:20,920
Speaker 3: From scratch, and I'm gonna use my eyes to call

651
00:36:21,000 --> 00:36:21,640
Speaker 3: him doubtful.

652
00:36:21,719 --> 00:36:24,520
Speaker 2: He's his gloves.

653
00:36:24,200 --> 00:36:26,840
Speaker 4: Offs is undone.

654
00:36:26,880 --> 00:36:29,160
Speaker 3: So then the Niners are back on offense and he's

655
00:36:29,200 --> 00:36:32,080
Speaker 3: not out there. So they did go. They they even

656
00:36:32,160 --> 00:36:34,200
Speaker 3: this thing up seven to seven. Then the Bears out

657
00:36:34,200 --> 00:36:36,720
Speaker 3: of three and out, so the Niners have at least

658
00:36:36,719 --> 00:36:39,080
Speaker 3: calmed things down a little bit after they first played

659
00:36:39,080 --> 00:36:43,960
Speaker 3: pick six. But that the larger news, yeah, is not great.

660
00:36:44,000 --> 00:36:45,799
Speaker 3: So more on that coming up in a second. Here

661
00:36:45,800 --> 00:36:48,319
Speaker 3: on the in the Fox Sports Radio studios. Its Mark

662
00:36:48,360 --> 00:36:50,920
Speaker 3: with Herdey from Salama on Fox Sports Radio. So we

663
00:36:51,000 --> 00:36:55,960
Speaker 3: sit in the Fox Sports Radio studios and the Bears

664
00:36:56,000 --> 00:36:58,279
Speaker 3: go three and out again after the forty nine Ers

665
00:36:58,280 --> 00:37:03,160
Speaker 3: went three and out, so things have gotten interesting and

666
00:37:03,640 --> 00:37:05,600
Speaker 3: it's seven to seven. We'll keep you up to date

667
00:37:05,680 --> 00:37:08,560
Speaker 3: on Niners and Bears and the Niners tonight will now

668
00:37:08,760 --> 00:37:12,600
Speaker 3: seemingly attempt to win this football game with Okay, checks notes,

669
00:37:12,680 --> 00:37:17,799
Speaker 3: no Trent Williams, no George Kittle, no Fred Warner, and

670
00:37:17,920 --> 00:37:23,720
Speaker 3: no Nick Bosa. So what I might ask, how both

671
00:37:23,760 --> 00:37:25,960
Speaker 3: of these teams are sitting here at eleven and four?

672
00:37:26,120 --> 00:37:28,040
Speaker 2: Honestly pretty crazy?

673
00:37:28,239 --> 00:37:32,600
Speaker 4: Yeah, I'll say it is crazy, But hats off to

674
00:37:32,640 --> 00:37:34,880
Speaker 4: both of these coaches, who, in my opinion, are in

675
00:37:34,920 --> 00:37:36,120
Speaker 4: the running for Coach of the year.

676
00:37:36,239 --> 00:37:36,479
Speaker 1: Yeah.

677
00:37:36,480 --> 00:37:39,839
Speaker 4: Absolutely, easy, absolutely.

678
00:37:39,880 --> 00:37:40,920
Speaker 2: Who would you vote for?

679
00:37:41,040 --> 00:37:45,160
Speaker 4: By the way, I would give it to Cohen Jacksonville.

680
00:37:45,200 --> 00:37:49,640
Speaker 3: Okay, yeah, I think that the four that really although, man,

681
00:37:49,960 --> 00:37:54,319
Speaker 3: we really should not be forgetting like Damico Ryans has

682
00:37:54,440 --> 00:37:56,960
Speaker 3: entered the building if you ask me, Oh, yeah, he

683
00:37:57,040 --> 00:38:00,480
Speaker 3: has entered the building. Liam Cohen, Mike Vrabel now now

684
00:38:00,560 --> 00:38:02,080
Speaker 3: Kyle Shanahan, Ben Johnson.

685
00:38:02,920 --> 00:38:06,000
Speaker 4: Thinko been coach of the year already? Ah, that's a

686
00:38:06,080 --> 00:38:06,720
Speaker 4: good quest.

687
00:38:06,760 --> 00:38:07,400
Speaker 2: I think he did.

688
00:38:07,680 --> 00:38:10,040
Speaker 4: I think they He won Coach of the Year.

689
00:38:11,480 --> 00:38:11,759
Speaker 2: C J.

690
00:38:11,920 --> 00:38:14,000
Speaker 4: Stroud, It was Offensive Player of the Year, and then

691
00:38:14,000 --> 00:38:16,200
Speaker 4: Will Anderson won Defensive Player of the Year. If I'm

692
00:38:16,200 --> 00:38:16,880
Speaker 4: not mistaken.

693
00:38:17,960 --> 00:38:22,200
Speaker 3: Two years ago, tamiic o'ryans, Yes, Coach of the Year

694
00:38:22,280 --> 00:38:23,200
Speaker 3: twenty twenty three.

695
00:38:23,320 --> 00:38:28,279
Speaker 4: Yeah, okay, soul three. The world knows he can do it, right,

696
00:38:28,600 --> 00:38:33,520
Speaker 4: and so what we Once you're the coach of the year,

697
00:38:33,600 --> 00:38:35,759
Speaker 4: the expectation rises every year.

698
00:38:35,960 --> 00:38:38,400
Speaker 3: There's no doubt this is this is why Kyle Shanahan

699
00:38:38,440 --> 00:38:39,120
Speaker 3: will not win.

700
00:38:39,000 --> 00:38:42,839
Speaker 4: This award, right And so for me, Cohen came out

701
00:38:42,840 --> 00:38:46,680
Speaker 4: of nowhere. Number one, nobody even knew what they was like,

702
00:38:47,000 --> 00:38:50,879
Speaker 4: who's right, right, right? And it's fair, that's fair. And

703
00:38:51,040 --> 00:38:54,600
Speaker 4: the Jacksonville Jaguars had been in a place this is

704
00:38:54,600 --> 00:38:56,480
Speaker 4: Trevor Lawrence is what's fifth year?

705
00:38:57,239 --> 00:39:02,279
Speaker 2: Our sixth year? Yeah, year five?

706
00:39:02,480 --> 00:39:08,440
Speaker 4: And we had nothing. We it was over right. We

707
00:39:08,440 --> 00:39:12,200
Speaker 4: were moving on and the question was, well, what are

708
00:39:12,200 --> 00:39:16,200
Speaker 4: they gonna do with Trevor? That starts that began, you know,

709
00:39:16,239 --> 00:39:22,040
Speaker 4: the question and your first round draft pick? Uh, thus

710
00:39:22,680 --> 00:39:24,400
Speaker 4: was it to say, I can't remember it's the second

711
00:39:24,480 --> 00:39:29,279
Speaker 4: or third pick in the draft. You lose him and

712
00:39:30,400 --> 00:39:35,960
Speaker 4: you're still you're twelve and four. Unbelievable, No doubt. No

713
00:39:36,000 --> 00:39:36,680
Speaker 4: one saw that.

714
00:39:36,760 --> 00:39:38,960
Speaker 3: A lot of these things we can say about Ben

715
00:39:39,000 --> 00:39:40,320
Speaker 3: Johnson in Chicago.

716
00:39:40,080 --> 00:39:42,839
Speaker 4: Yes, yes, but we knew knew Ben Johnson was we

717
00:39:42,880 --> 00:39:46,160
Speaker 4: sure did. We knew what Ben Johnson was about. And

718
00:39:46,239 --> 00:39:49,640
Speaker 4: we knew his pedigree. Did you know anything about the

719
00:39:49,680 --> 00:39:53,160
Speaker 4: Jacksonville's head coach? No, gosh, no, no. And to me,

720
00:39:53,520 --> 00:39:57,080
Speaker 4: that's the thing that separates it. If we're looking at

721
00:39:57,160 --> 00:39:59,640
Speaker 4: the body of work and what they've done, and they've

722
00:39:59,680 --> 00:40:03,240
Speaker 4: come in and change cultures and and made these teams

723
00:40:03,280 --> 00:40:06,959
Speaker 4: instantly viable. For me, the thing would be, I don't

724
00:40:07,000 --> 00:40:09,400
Speaker 4: know who he is and where he came from, but

725
00:40:09,480 --> 00:40:10,440
Speaker 4: he did to dang thing.

726
00:40:11,200 --> 00:40:15,120
Speaker 3: It's one of those years where there are multiple answers

727
00:40:15,120 --> 00:40:17,680
Speaker 3: to the question. And the question can be who do

728
00:40:17,719 --> 00:40:19,480
Speaker 3: you think is can be into the Super Bowl? Yeah,

729
00:40:19,480 --> 00:40:21,479
Speaker 3: the question could be who should be coach of the Year.

730
00:40:21,880 --> 00:40:25,600
Speaker 3: There's no there's nothing clear cut on any of this.

731
00:40:26,239 --> 00:40:30,759
Speaker 3: And so anyway, a pretty into the end zone for

732
00:40:30,800 --> 00:40:34,000
Speaker 3: a touchdown. So we got lots to talk about as

733
00:40:34,040 --> 00:40:38,560
Speaker 3: we continue, plus our top three things, our next Please.

734
00:40:38,640 --> 00:40:41,320
Speaker 1: You're listening to Fox Sports Radio Radio.

735
00:40:41,600 --> 00:40:44,279
Speaker 3: Well, we're doing our Sunday night watch party and it

736
00:40:44,320 --> 00:40:47,480
Speaker 3: has been off to a very active start. Okay, we're

737
00:40:47,480 --> 00:40:50,280
Speaker 3: not even done with the first quarter in Santa Clara,

738
00:40:50,400 --> 00:40:52,560
Speaker 3: the Bears with a pick six on the first play

739
00:40:52,560 --> 00:40:54,719
Speaker 3: of the game, but it's been all Niners since then,

740
00:40:55,200 --> 00:40:58,360
Speaker 3: and it's the Niners fourteen to seven, late first quarter.

741
00:40:58,400 --> 00:41:00,120
Speaker 3: We will keep you up to date on that. We're

742
00:41:00,160 --> 00:41:03,400
Speaker 3: about to unveil our three Things. I've been excited to

743
00:41:03,480 --> 00:41:08,560
Speaker 3: do this certainly since last night because one of them

744
00:41:08,600 --> 00:41:11,279
Speaker 3: has to do with actually that Packers Ravens game last night,

745
00:41:11,360 --> 00:41:14,680
Speaker 3: At least for me, we are broadcasting live in the

746
00:41:14,719 --> 00:41:19,160
Speaker 3: Fox Sports Radio studios. Also, by the way, before we

747
00:41:19,200 --> 00:41:22,000
Speaker 3: get to three things, feeding off of the success of

748
00:41:22,000 --> 00:41:26,400
Speaker 3: our college basketball Bracket Challenge each March, we decide to

749
00:41:26,440 --> 00:41:29,279
Speaker 3: do a bracket challenge for college football as well, the

750
00:41:29,320 --> 00:41:31,680
Speaker 3: college football Playoff and this one's a little bit quicker

751
00:41:31,680 --> 00:41:35,040
Speaker 3: and easier, not quite as many games. So that's right now,

752

00:42:34,320 --> 00:42:38,960
Speaker 3: Okay, here we go three things each week at this time,

772
00:42:39,200 --> 00:42:45,600
Speaker 3: our top three observations from the football week that was,

773
00:42:45,880 --> 00:42:49,399
Speaker 3: and I'm gonna start with one that happened last night.

774
00:42:49,480 --> 00:42:50,080
Speaker 4: And this has been a.

775
00:42:50,080 --> 00:42:53,120
Speaker 3: Little bit under the radar, but e from if I'm

776
00:42:53,120 --> 00:43:00,520
Speaker 3: a quarterback needy team this offseason, I am intrigued by

777
00:43:00,560 --> 00:43:05,440
Speaker 3: Malik Willis. This just got interesting, right, this is getting

778
00:43:05,800 --> 00:43:11,480
Speaker 3: very interesting because he was under control last night. He

779
00:43:11,719 --> 00:43:16,160
Speaker 3: was throwing the ball with accuracy, he was making good decisions.

780
00:43:16,560 --> 00:43:21,879
Speaker 3: He was running the ball obviously with a lot of

781
00:43:21,960 --> 00:43:25,440
Speaker 3: both power and finesse. I loved what I saw from

782
00:43:25,520 --> 00:43:27,280
Speaker 3: him before he had to leave the game.

783
00:43:27,800 --> 00:43:29,799
Speaker 2: That loss was certainly not on him.

784
00:43:30,239 --> 00:43:33,680
Speaker 3: He is a free agent at the end of this year,

785
00:43:33,800 --> 00:43:36,960
Speaker 3: so a lot of talk about whether it's the draft.

786
00:43:37,280 --> 00:43:39,000
Speaker 2: There's that Atlanta situation.

787
00:43:39,560 --> 00:43:42,600
Speaker 3: People talk about, will someone try to pry Mac Jones

788
00:43:42,960 --> 00:43:50,200
Speaker 3: from San Francisco? What about Malik Willis? Very early draft

789
00:43:50,200 --> 00:43:53,280
Speaker 3: pick just four years ago. The rookie deal is coming

790
00:43:53,320 --> 00:43:58,040
Speaker 3: to an end, and to me, he's an intriguing guy

791
00:43:58,080 --> 00:43:59,759
Speaker 3: in this conversation, Well he is.

792
00:44:00,000 --> 00:44:03,640
Speaker 4: And Green Bays had a history of sending a quarterback

793
00:44:03,640 --> 00:44:07,520
Speaker 4: out to market and making some money after a flash

794
00:44:07,680 --> 00:44:13,239
Speaker 4: of excellence. Uh the old Matt Flynn Uh situation where

795
00:44:13,320 --> 00:44:17,799
Speaker 4: Matt went on and made it, made himself a bunch

796
00:44:17,880 --> 00:44:19,800
Speaker 4: of money after coming in and playing a game. I

797
00:44:19,840 --> 00:44:22,319
Speaker 4: think he has seven touchdowns in the game. You do

798
00:44:22,440 --> 00:44:25,279
Speaker 4: something like that, somebody gonna give you a shot. Mallik

799
00:44:25,320 --> 00:44:30,560
Speaker 4: Willis definitely showed that he can play quarterback in this

800
00:44:30,680 --> 00:44:34,719
Speaker 4: league at a high level. And it'll be interesting to

801
00:44:34,840 --> 00:44:38,040
Speaker 4: see what that market is for him out there, you know,

802
00:44:38,080 --> 00:44:41,719
Speaker 4: and for teams who won't have you know, you know,

803
00:44:41,840 --> 00:44:45,080
Speaker 4: shots at the top at the quarterback draft coming out

804
00:44:45,120 --> 00:44:48,760
Speaker 4: the top guys. I think there are a couple of excellent,

805
00:44:48,880 --> 00:44:51,600
Speaker 4: excellent choices that you can bring in and see if

806
00:44:51,640 --> 00:44:54,080
Speaker 4: you can develop and and and and maybe turn somebody

807
00:44:54,080 --> 00:44:57,520
Speaker 4: into a star. Absolutely, yeah, he.

808
00:44:57,880 --> 00:44:59,160
Speaker 2: Caught my eye last night.

809
00:44:59,280 --> 00:45:02,520
Speaker 3: And obviously now the Packers are locked into the seventh seed,

810
00:45:03,239 --> 00:45:07,160
Speaker 3: so they may rest just about everybody next week. That

811
00:45:07,239 --> 00:45:10,440
Speaker 3: might include Jordan Love and Malik Willis because they are

812
00:45:10,480 --> 00:45:12,520
Speaker 3: locked in now as the seventh seed no matter what

813
00:45:12,560 --> 00:45:14,480
Speaker 3: they do, so they kind of get their own personal

814
00:45:14,520 --> 00:45:17,160
Speaker 3: buy if they want it. But I think in a

815
00:45:18,160 --> 00:45:21,160
Speaker 3: fancy primetime situation, he caught some people's eye last night.

816
00:45:21,200 --> 00:45:24,160
Speaker 4: He did. My first one is I'm gonna talk about

817
00:45:24,200 --> 00:45:33,520
Speaker 4: the NFC South. Okay, is there a way where we

818
00:45:33,560 --> 00:45:41,160
Speaker 4: can exclude an entire division for the playoffs and give

819
00:45:41,200 --> 00:45:45,520
Speaker 4: it to someone else? Just give that spot up to

820
00:45:45,640 --> 00:45:50,360
Speaker 4: someone else. That'd be nice because I'd want to see

821
00:45:50,880 --> 00:45:57,799
Speaker 4: I'd rather see Detroit or Minnesota in the playoffs other

822
00:45:57,880 --> 00:46:05,400
Speaker 4: than in the I mean, for me, it's indescribable on

823
00:46:05,640 --> 00:46:11,400
Speaker 4: how both teams, the Panthers and Carolina came in today

824
00:46:11,480 --> 00:46:16,439
Speaker 4: with something to play for both teams did and neither

825
00:46:16,480 --> 00:46:21,360
Speaker 4: one of them showed up. Now it leads us to

826
00:46:21,760 --> 00:46:24,879
Speaker 4: a showdown for all the marbles you win and your

827
00:46:24,920 --> 00:46:33,000
Speaker 4: in next week. But for me, I just it's a

828
00:46:33,000 --> 00:46:37,440
Speaker 4: waste of a spot because neither one of these teams

829
00:46:37,520 --> 00:46:39,960
Speaker 4: can get out of their own way, and neither one

830
00:46:40,000 --> 00:46:45,360
Speaker 4: of them feel like they want to play in the playoffs.

831
00:46:45,360 --> 00:46:48,160
Speaker 4: It feels like everybody's ready for vacation. It's been a

832
00:46:48,160 --> 00:46:51,760
Speaker 4: good year, where like it's a total letdown in Tampa

833
00:46:51,880 --> 00:46:54,920
Speaker 4: now Carolina. It's a it's a story where it's like,

834
00:46:54,960 --> 00:46:56,840
Speaker 4: oh my god, they're good and then they're not, and

835
00:46:56,880 --> 00:46:58,719
Speaker 4: then they're good, and all you better watch out but

836
00:46:58,760 --> 00:47:02,360
Speaker 4: then watch out for but but Tampa Bay is disappointing.

837
00:47:02,400 --> 00:47:05,600
Speaker 4: Baker Mayfield's disappointing. I mean, he has more commercials running now.

838
00:47:05,640 --> 00:47:08,160
Speaker 4: I don't know if it's the commercials, I don't know

839
00:47:08,200 --> 00:47:11,600
Speaker 4: what it is. But the Baker Mayfield, who started this

840
00:47:11,719 --> 00:47:16,120
Speaker 4: year off as the clear favorite for MVP, is now

841
00:47:16,160 --> 00:47:21,440
Speaker 4: a guy dragging himself across the finish line. And I

842
00:47:21,719 --> 00:47:23,240
Speaker 4: don't know what to make of the division.

843
00:47:25,800 --> 00:47:28,600
Speaker 3: I like, I would almost say the same thing in

844
00:47:28,640 --> 00:47:30,239
Speaker 3: a different way. I do know what to make of

845
00:47:30,280 --> 00:47:33,200
Speaker 3: the division. It is so bad, Crash, it's so bad.

846
00:47:33,239 --> 00:47:36,560
Speaker 3: The Buccaneers are just flat out bad. And the one

847
00:47:36,600 --> 00:47:39,160
Speaker 3: thing I would do at least to start the process

848
00:47:39,320 --> 00:47:41,960
Speaker 3: of what you're talking about, because obviously we can't exclude

849
00:47:42,000 --> 00:47:45,640
Speaker 3: a division, but this whole idea of them hosting a game,

850
00:47:46,520 --> 00:47:46,799
Speaker 3: you got.

851
00:47:47,960 --> 00:47:49,120
Speaker 2: You gotta make a marker.

852
00:47:49,280 --> 00:47:52,160
Speaker 3: I don't need you to have a better record than

853
00:47:52,239 --> 00:47:53,600
Speaker 3: the great wildcard team.

854
00:47:53,719 --> 00:47:56,000
Speaker 2: I don't, but my god, you need to have a

855
00:47:56,000 --> 00:47:56,480
Speaker 2: winning round.

856
00:47:56,520 --> 00:47:58,720
Speaker 4: You gotta have a win like period.

857
00:47:58,760 --> 00:48:01,279
Speaker 3: If the Buccaneers win the game next week and win

858
00:48:01,320 --> 00:48:04,799
Speaker 3: the division at eight and nine, I'm sorry, you do

859
00:48:05,040 --> 00:48:09,080
Speaker 3: not get to host a playoff game at eight and nine.

860
00:48:09,320 --> 00:48:13,640
Speaker 3: And I'm tempted to even make that ten and seven,

861
00:48:14,120 --> 00:48:17,600
Speaker 3: like even nine and eight. It is like, come on, man,

862
00:48:18,600 --> 00:48:22,520
Speaker 3: what we're doing, especially with the fanciness that is going

863
00:48:22,560 --> 00:48:25,040
Speaker 3: to be coming out of the NFC West as far

864
00:48:25,080 --> 00:48:29,880
Speaker 3: as wild card teams whoever it may be, like, you're

865
00:48:29,960 --> 00:48:33,320
Speaker 3: you're looking at twelve win teams and who knows it

866
00:48:33,440 --> 00:48:37,759
Speaker 3: might be thirteen win teams coming at you, and and

867
00:48:37,920 --> 00:48:40,440
Speaker 3: the Bucks are going to be hosting people at eight

868
00:48:40,440 --> 00:48:40,879
Speaker 3: and nine.

869
00:48:41,360 --> 00:48:43,400
Speaker 2: Come on, come on, it's.

870
00:48:43,239 --> 00:48:48,440
Speaker 3: Not right, all right? Here's my second one. DK Metcalf

871
00:48:48,480 --> 00:48:52,680
Speaker 3: might have cost the Steelers the division. I wanted to

872
00:48:52,719 --> 00:48:55,160
Speaker 3: dive deep for those who didn't see the way this

873
00:48:55,320 --> 00:48:57,440
Speaker 3: played out, I thought this was fascinating.

874
00:48:57,880 --> 00:49:00,600
Speaker 2: DK Metcalf. You and I made a big deal last week.

875
00:49:00,600 --> 00:49:02,919
Speaker 3: Obviously, he has been suspended for the final two games

876
00:49:02,920 --> 00:49:07,400
Speaker 3: of the year for contacting a fan in Detroit. We

877
00:49:07,600 --> 00:49:10,560
Speaker 3: get that DK Metcalf is their wide receiver one, but

878
00:49:10,600 --> 00:49:11,880
Speaker 3: it goes further than that.

879
00:49:12,440 --> 00:49:13,399
Speaker 2: If you watched what.

880
00:49:13,520 --> 00:49:18,800
Speaker 3: Ended up happening in Cleveland today, the Steelers actually made

881
00:49:18,960 --> 00:49:21,280
Speaker 3: a nice little push at the end of the game

882
00:49:21,920 --> 00:49:25,520
Speaker 3: and they got themselves inside the ten for four shots

883
00:49:25,560 --> 00:49:26,400
Speaker 3: at the end zone.

884
00:49:26,880 --> 00:49:28,240
Speaker 2: Down thirteen to six.

885
00:49:28,719 --> 00:49:32,120
Speaker 3: Well, what do you need late in the game against

886
00:49:32,160 --> 00:49:35,680
Speaker 3: a good defense when the field shrinks down to about

887
00:49:35,719 --> 00:49:38,600
Speaker 3: six or seven yards, You know what you need. You

888
00:49:38,760 --> 00:49:43,080
Speaker 3: need a big bodied receiver and Aaron Jones.

889
00:49:43,960 --> 00:49:45,120
Speaker 4: I'm sorry, Aaron Jones.

890
00:49:45,320 --> 00:49:49,560
Speaker 3: Aaron Rodgers is very good at throwing those timing routes

891
00:49:49,760 --> 00:49:51,520
Speaker 3: to the back corner of the end zone like he

892
00:49:51,640 --> 00:49:55,200
Speaker 3: used to do with DeVante Adams years ago, and instead

893
00:49:56,120 --> 00:49:57,880
Speaker 3: it had been wheeled down to him trying to do

894
00:49:57,920 --> 00:50:00,920
Speaker 3: it with Marcus Valdez scant Lit, who's been on like

895
00:50:01,040 --> 00:50:07,280
Speaker 3: four teams this year alone, and it was incomplete, incomplete, incomplete,

896
00:50:07,680 --> 00:50:11,640
Speaker 3: and incomplete. And now the Steelers have got to beat

897
00:50:11,680 --> 00:50:15,239
Speaker 3: the Ravens or they're going home next week, and I

898
00:50:15,400 --> 00:50:19,280
Speaker 3: hope that DK Metcalf has learned his lesson.

899
00:50:19,520 --> 00:50:22,840
Speaker 4: Yeah, you know why he's gonna learn his lesson, because

900
00:50:22,880 --> 00:50:27,120
Speaker 4: the reality of the situation is, per his contract, yep, yep, yep,

901
00:50:27,719 --> 00:50:31,600
Speaker 4: they end up not making the playoffs because of his actions,

902
00:50:31,640 --> 00:50:34,520
Speaker 4: which it would be because of his actions. That final

903
00:50:34,520 --> 00:50:37,840
Speaker 4: play is going to DK, and he's making that catch

904
00:50:38,080 --> 00:50:43,320
Speaker 4: nine out of ten times. Yep, that voided forty five million.

905
00:50:44,560 --> 00:50:49,399
Speaker 4: They're gonna walk away. They're gonna walk away. They should. Now,

906
00:50:49,480 --> 00:50:53,960
Speaker 4: if they end up making the playoffs and in the playoffs,

907
00:50:54,040 --> 00:50:58,040
Speaker 4: DK goes bonkers and they get to the second round,

908
00:50:58,360 --> 00:51:03,960
Speaker 4: the divisional round and and some way look up into

909
00:51:04,200 --> 00:51:11,200
Speaker 4: a conference championship, they'll be more forgiving of the whole

910
00:51:11,239 --> 00:51:14,759
Speaker 4: situation to transpire. But if they lose that game next

911
00:51:14,760 --> 00:51:20,000
Speaker 4: week against the Ravens and are at home, in my opinion,

912
00:51:20,040 --> 00:51:24,719
Speaker 4: that's the last we'll see DK. And because they have

913
00:51:24,800 --> 00:51:25,400
Speaker 4: an out.

914
00:51:25,400 --> 00:51:28,479
Speaker 3: Yeah, you might be right, and what have awful Yeah,

915
00:51:28,520 --> 00:51:30,120
Speaker 3: what an awful feeling for him to.

916
00:51:30,120 --> 00:51:34,399
Speaker 4: Know twenty five million dollars that's what that idiotic thing

917
00:51:34,560 --> 00:51:37,279
Speaker 4: cost him, not to mention whatever the civil suit's gonna be.

918
00:51:37,440 --> 00:51:40,400
Speaker 3: Yeah, And so now he gets to watch that game

919
00:51:40,520 --> 00:51:42,799
Speaker 3: and hope they win and he can't do anything about

920
00:51:42,800 --> 00:51:46,680
Speaker 3: it personally, and that makes it now too wide receivers

921
00:51:46,719 --> 00:51:50,200
Speaker 3: who have just behaved their way right out of millions

922
00:51:50,320 --> 00:51:51,200
Speaker 3: and millions.

923
00:51:51,280 --> 00:51:53,640
Speaker 2: What has happened millions of dollars?

924
00:51:54,440 --> 00:51:59,160
Speaker 3: Dk Metcalf because of a momentary lapse in judgment, Brandon

925
00:51:59,239 --> 00:52:04,600
Speaker 3: Ayuk because that they continued lapse in judgment. But yeah, yeah,

926
00:52:05,080 --> 00:52:08,680
Speaker 3: like that's why we've been talking about wide receivers so much.

927
00:52:09,320 --> 00:52:12,640
Speaker 4: So I'm with you on this one. I'm gonna go

928
00:52:12,680 --> 00:52:14,720
Speaker 4: to the Texans. I had a couple that I wanted

929
00:52:14,760 --> 00:52:18,239
Speaker 4: to hit. That game against the Charges was a good game.

930
00:52:18,280 --> 00:52:23,279
Speaker 4: That was a great game. It's crazy how much you

931
00:52:23,480 --> 00:52:32,160
Speaker 4: really need offensive tackles, like you have to have offensive tackles,

932
00:52:34,120 --> 00:52:38,000
Speaker 4: and for the Chargers not to have any, I'm talking

933
00:52:38,000 --> 00:52:44,760
Speaker 4: about any. They had a guy playing Bless his heart. Man,

934
00:52:45,680 --> 00:52:48,719
Speaker 4: you just feel bad for for for guys put in

935
00:52:48,719 --> 00:52:53,279
Speaker 4: in situations where they have to step up and do

936
00:52:53,320 --> 00:52:58,239
Speaker 4: something they're not ready to do yet are will never

937
00:52:58,360 --> 00:53:02,719
Speaker 4: be able to do. And that's to protect out on

938
00:53:02,760 --> 00:53:05,000
Speaker 4: an island, especially the blind side. But what I'll say

939
00:53:05,000 --> 00:53:09,560
Speaker 4: about the Texans is they're a dangerous team in these playoffs.

940
00:53:10,160 --> 00:53:15,239
Speaker 4: And the reason why is because defensively, the amount of

941
00:53:15,280 --> 00:53:19,920
Speaker 4: pressure they can put on you with four players, it

942
00:53:19,960 --> 00:53:31,120
Speaker 4: is unbelievable. Will Anderson and Hunter, it's crazy. I think

943
00:53:31,520 --> 00:53:36,000
Speaker 4: Will Anderson has twelve sacks and Daniel Hunter has fourteen sacks,

944
00:53:36,000 --> 00:53:39,680
Speaker 4: fourteen and a half sacks something like that. That alone

945
00:53:40,040 --> 00:53:43,160
Speaker 4: makes them dangerous. And oh, by the way, c J.

946
00:53:43,280 --> 00:53:46,839
Speaker 4: Strou can spend that thing, even though he hasn't had

947
00:53:46,880 --> 00:53:50,440
Speaker 4: to spend it like he's had in the past. But

948
00:53:50,480 --> 00:53:53,080
Speaker 4: they have weapons on the outside. They're will coached, They

949
00:53:53,239 --> 00:53:57,440
Speaker 4: fixed their offensive line problems. They gave up zero sacks.

950
00:53:57,520 --> 00:54:00,440
Speaker 4: Even though the Chargers can't really put pressure on any

951
00:54:03,719 --> 00:54:07,720
Speaker 4: it's the Texans in the playoffs are going to be dangerous.

952
00:54:07,760 --> 00:54:11,400
Speaker 4: And let's remember the last two years. Last year, with

953
00:54:11,560 --> 00:54:14,680
Speaker 4: no weapons all every single receiver on the roster got hurt.

954
00:54:15,800 --> 00:54:17,680
Speaker 4: They made it to the second round or the playoffs.

955
00:54:17,680 --> 00:54:21,480
Speaker 4: They defeated the Chargers in the wildcard round and made

956
00:54:21,480 --> 00:54:23,200
Speaker 4: it to the second round. So that's two years in

957
00:54:23,239 --> 00:54:26,360
Speaker 4: a row. C J. Stroud, Demico Ryans in that defense

958
00:54:26,800 --> 00:54:30,560
Speaker 4: has made it into the second round. Looking for a

959
00:54:30,560 --> 00:54:33,479
Speaker 4: third round. I think they're going to be dangerous. Don't

960
00:54:33,480 --> 00:54:37,000
Speaker 4: forget what they did to Josh Allen in Buffalo, Oh

961
00:54:37,120 --> 00:54:42,359
Speaker 4: this year in sacks. Say what now the most unsackable

962
00:54:42,400 --> 00:54:43,640
Speaker 4: quarterback in the league.

963
00:54:44,120 --> 00:54:46,719
Speaker 3: I'm telling you. Someone asked me, like they pinned me

964
00:54:47,000 --> 00:54:50,040
Speaker 3: last week. They're like, you have to pick two teams

965
00:54:50,840 --> 00:54:55,760
Speaker 3: for the Super Bowl? What are you saying? And honestly,

966
00:54:55,800 --> 00:54:58,560
Speaker 3: I looked at the AFC and I go, I want Houston.

967
00:54:59,760 --> 00:55:02,680
Speaker 3: Give me Houston because I know that defense is going

968
00:55:02,760 --> 00:55:05,120
Speaker 3: to play and the weather's only going to get colder.

969
00:55:05,600 --> 00:55:08,879
Speaker 3: And I just yeah, like I Houston I think has

970
00:55:08,920 --> 00:55:11,600
Speaker 3: a real shot to end up in the last game.

971
00:55:13,080 --> 00:55:16,960
Speaker 4: Yeah. I've been watching them looking at him. Of course,

972
00:55:17,000 --> 00:55:20,080
Speaker 4: I'm a Houston fan. I played five years there, and

973
00:55:20,160 --> 00:55:23,759
Speaker 4: I'm like, man, this is this. I wouldn't I would

974
00:55:23,920 --> 00:55:26,400
Speaker 4: not want to play them in the playoffs.

975
00:55:26,440 --> 00:55:30,640
Speaker 3: Nope, nope, definitely not at all. Yeah, I feel you,

976
00:55:30,680 --> 00:55:32,399
Speaker 3: all right, Let me let me do my last one.

977
00:55:32,440 --> 00:55:34,399
Speaker 3: Get out the way for your big finish. By the way,

978
00:55:34,480 --> 00:55:38,520
Speaker 3: Niners have a first and goal at the five yard line. Again,

979
00:55:38,560 --> 00:55:40,799
Speaker 3: did we tell you this game is drunk? By the way,

980
00:55:40,840 --> 00:55:43,800
Speaker 3: this looks a lot like the last Niners game. Score

981
00:55:43,920 --> 00:55:51,360
Speaker 3: score score score, Okay, I think Schdor Sanders might be

982
00:55:51,600 --> 00:55:56,000
Speaker 3: the guy. Touchdown Christian McCaffrey forty nine ers back in front.

983
00:55:57,360 --> 00:56:01,600
Speaker 3: Look nothing overly impressive, but he outdueled Aaron Rodgers today.

984
00:56:01,640 --> 00:56:04,560
Speaker 3: I know he threw two picks and the touchdown that

985
00:56:04,600 --> 00:56:06,880
Speaker 3: he threw was actually just a great adjustment on the

986
00:56:06,920 --> 00:56:09,680
Speaker 3: ball by a really exciting young.

987
00:56:09,520 --> 00:56:11,120
Speaker 2: Player to me and Harold Fannin.

988
00:56:11,920 --> 00:56:15,359
Speaker 3: But look at the completion percentage of Shador Sanders today,

989
00:56:15,480 --> 00:56:20,040
Speaker 3: seventy three point nine. And we're talking about in Cleveland

990
00:56:20,640 --> 00:56:24,239
Speaker 3: late in December. The weather was crazy. You're playing a

991
00:56:24,280 --> 00:56:29,000
Speaker 3: game with playoff implications. Am mindful too. Also with the interceptions,

992
00:56:29,000 --> 00:56:32,000
Speaker 3: because he's got more interceptions than touchdowns this year. But

993
00:56:32,320 --> 00:56:36,440
Speaker 3: keep in mind he has played seven games. He has

994
00:56:36,600 --> 00:56:40,560
Speaker 3: only played seven games. Peyton Manning led the league in

995
00:56:40,600 --> 00:56:44,160
Speaker 3: interceptions his rookie year, so those mistakes are gonna be there.

996
00:56:44,640 --> 00:56:47,680
Speaker 3: But what I'm seeing Ephraim is a player who looks

997
00:56:47,719 --> 00:56:50,640
Speaker 3: better each week. Each week you put him out there,

998
00:56:50,880 --> 00:56:53,800
Speaker 3: it starts to look better, it starts to look more viable.

999
00:56:54,239 --> 00:56:59,880
Speaker 3: And now you're putting him in high leveraged late season situation.

1000
00:57:00,320 --> 00:57:04,040
Speaker 3: Last week they played Buffalo three point game. This week

1001
00:57:04,080 --> 00:57:08,879
Speaker 3: Pittsburgh they win. Yes, there needs to be a more

1002
00:57:08,960 --> 00:57:12,840
Speaker 3: dynamic feel to it as he grows and goes. But

1003
00:57:13,120 --> 00:57:16,479
Speaker 3: if I'm gonna call Malik, willis intriguing for next year,

1004
00:57:16,920 --> 00:57:18,720
Speaker 3: So shdor Sanders, how about that?

1005
00:57:18,960 --> 00:57:23,840
Speaker 4: Yeah? I think he's earned the right to finish developing

1006
00:57:24,280 --> 00:57:27,560
Speaker 4: and play as a starting quarterback next year for the

1007
00:57:27,560 --> 00:57:31,600
Speaker 4: Cleveland Browns. Obviously he has an it factor and the

1008
00:57:31,680 --> 00:57:35,280
Speaker 4: ability to get the ball down the field. Those mistakes,

1009
00:57:35,280 --> 00:57:38,760
Speaker 4: those interceptions, he'll learn. He's trying to do too much.

1010
00:57:39,760 --> 00:57:43,240
Speaker 4: But you can see every week progressively he's getting better

1011
00:57:43,560 --> 00:57:46,200
Speaker 4: the more time he has in the offense and the

1012
00:57:46,200 --> 00:57:48,400
Speaker 4: more time he has. This offseason to be a huge

1013
00:57:48,400 --> 00:57:52,320
Speaker 4: offseason for him. I don't know what's gonna happen with

1014
00:57:52,360 --> 00:57:54,600
Speaker 4: the coaching staff. He may have a whole new coaching

1015
00:57:54,640 --> 00:57:57,480
Speaker 4: staff and a whole new offense, which will probably set

1016
00:57:57,520 --> 00:57:59,880
Speaker 4: him back a little bit. But in terms of talent,

1017
00:58:00,320 --> 00:58:03,960
Speaker 4: I believe that, yes, he should be the quarterback moving

1018
00:58:04,040 --> 00:58:09,080
Speaker 4: forward in Cleveland, so they can really bring somebody in

1019
00:58:09,240 --> 00:58:12,720
Speaker 4: and develop him because he has the talent to do it.

1020
00:58:12,760 --> 00:58:19,760
Speaker 4: He has more talent than his draft the position would signify. Yeah.

1021
00:58:20,360 --> 00:58:23,240
Speaker 3: Indeed, all right, I always look forward to your grand finale.

1022
00:58:23,400 --> 00:58:25,040
Speaker 4: You know what this one is as a bit of

1023
00:58:25,080 --> 00:58:27,680
Speaker 4: a rant and I just want to get your thoughts

1024
00:58:27,720 --> 00:58:30,880
Speaker 4: on this. So as we come into we talked about

1025
00:58:30,920 --> 00:58:35,280
Speaker 4: technology and the changing of eras and things like that.

1026
00:58:36,280 --> 00:58:40,920
Speaker 4: What we have now is we have streamers coming into

1027
00:58:41,000 --> 00:58:46,560
Speaker 4: the live sports field. Right. Everybody wants a piece of

1028
00:58:46,640 --> 00:58:49,800
Speaker 4: live sports, and NFL being the biggest live sport we

1029
00:58:49,880 --> 00:58:53,440
Speaker 4: have in this country. A lot of different platforms have

1030
00:58:53,520 --> 00:58:58,800
Speaker 4: live sports, you know, Netflix and Peacock and Prime. The

1031
00:58:58,920 --> 00:59:05,600
Speaker 4: thing I liked about cable and DVRs is it's easy.

1032
00:59:07,080 --> 00:59:12,480
Speaker 4: It's easy to find, it's easy to control, right yep.

1033
00:59:12,880 --> 00:59:17,240
Speaker 4: If I pause it and leave for three hours, I

1034
00:59:17,280 --> 00:59:19,240
Speaker 4: can come back and it'll be right where I left it.

1035
00:59:20,280 --> 00:59:24,920
Speaker 4: That is what I like, because life happens. Sometimes I

1036
00:59:25,040 --> 00:59:29,200
Speaker 4: have to go somewhere. Sometimes I might have to go

1037
00:59:29,280 --> 00:59:34,680
Speaker 4: do something and come back. But with the streaming apparatus,

1038
00:59:35,960 --> 00:59:41,200
Speaker 4: they haven't quite gotten it down yet. If sometimes if

1039
00:59:41,240 --> 00:59:43,720
Speaker 4: you pause it, you come back, it started over or

1040
00:59:43,800 --> 00:59:46,040
Speaker 4: it's all the way live, so.

1041
00:59:46,920 --> 00:59:50,880
Speaker 3: Yeah, right right, Sometimes it worked sometimes that red line

1042
00:59:50,960 --> 00:59:52,440
Speaker 3: is like this is where you stopped.

1043
00:59:52,640 --> 00:59:56,080
Speaker 4: I paused it, and I paused it last night. The

1044
00:59:56,760 --> 01:00:02,520
Speaker 4: peacock game. Yeah, last night to go play with my family. Right.

1045
01:00:02,600 --> 01:00:05,880
Speaker 4: We love Clue. It's the kids loving me. That's the

1046
01:00:05,920 --> 01:00:09,280
Speaker 4: most wholesome thing. It's amazing. I love it. We love

1047
01:00:09,560 --> 01:00:12,960
Speaker 4: We like to put the screens down and have real interactions,

1048
01:00:13,240 --> 01:00:14,480
Speaker 4: human interactions.

1049
01:00:14,800 --> 01:00:14,960
Speaker 2: Uh.

1050
01:00:15,120 --> 01:00:16,840
Speaker 4: And we'd like to compete with each other in Clue.

1051
01:00:16,840 --> 01:00:19,720
Speaker 4: Who is kernam Mustard in the in the library with

1052
01:00:19,760 --> 01:00:24,480
Speaker 4: the with the rope? Okay, I come back to the

1053
01:00:24,560 --> 01:00:27,920
Speaker 4: to the game. Uh huh the game is over by

1054
01:00:27,960 --> 01:00:30,840
Speaker 4: the way, right, I come back. It's not paused. I

1055
01:00:30,840 --> 01:00:36,320
Speaker 4: don't even know where the game is. It's gone. It's gone,

1056
01:00:36,920 --> 01:00:41,440
Speaker 4: it's gone left. So I'm like, uh, where, where where's

1057
01:00:41,440 --> 01:00:44,200
Speaker 4: the rest of the game? And so I'm scrolling through,

1058
01:00:44,240 --> 01:00:47,720
Speaker 4: scrolling through, and then a big highlight thing pops up

1059
01:00:48,200 --> 01:00:50,480
Speaker 4: and it shows me the end of the game. And

1060
01:00:50,520 --> 01:00:52,960
Speaker 4: if the cats out the bag, I don't get a

1061
01:00:53,040 --> 01:00:57,960
Speaker 4: chance to enjoy the game on my terms. And that's

1062
01:00:57,960 --> 01:01:00,920
Speaker 4: a problem I'm having with these streams and apparatus is

1063
01:01:01,200 --> 01:01:05,080
Speaker 4: get it together, all right, put it in the main

1064
01:01:05,240 --> 01:01:09,800
Speaker 4: menu for the whole day, and if you can watch

1065
01:01:09,840 --> 01:01:12,920
Speaker 4: it at your leisure, just like I can watch Stranger

1066
01:01:13,000 --> 01:01:16,600
Speaker 4: Things anytime I want, or the hit series bell Air

1067
01:01:17,000 --> 01:01:19,920
Speaker 4: anytime I want. It should be like that with the

1068
01:01:20,040 --> 01:01:22,919
Speaker 4: live games. If I don't watch it live, I should

1069
01:01:22,960 --> 01:01:25,480
Speaker 4: still be able to tap into it and turn it

1070
01:01:25,480 --> 01:01:27,240
Speaker 4: on and watch it when I want to watch it

1071
01:01:27,520 --> 01:01:32,800
Speaker 4: without the score being ruined. Sorry, it's a strong take.

1072
01:01:33,720 --> 01:01:34,680
Speaker 2: It's a strong take.

1073
01:01:35,440 --> 01:01:39,600
Speaker 3: I mean I always tell people, like sometimes they'll get

1074
01:01:39,600 --> 01:01:40,960
Speaker 3: mad at the back, Why don you just record the

1075
01:01:41,000 --> 01:01:41,800
Speaker 3: game and watch it later.

1076
01:01:41,800 --> 01:01:44,360
Speaker 2: I'm like, no, it won't work. I don't trust life.

1077
01:01:44,720 --> 01:01:48,400
Speaker 3: I don't trust me, my friends, my phone, my screen.

1078
01:01:48,800 --> 01:01:52,000
Speaker 3: I don't trust that that is going to work and

1079
01:01:52,120 --> 01:01:54,520
Speaker 3: I will be able to experience it because part of

1080
01:01:54,520 --> 01:01:56,480
Speaker 3: my job is to know what this felt like as

1081
01:01:56,520 --> 01:02:00,960
Speaker 3: a fan. Therefore, I want to watch and experience it

1082
01:02:01,200 --> 01:02:05,080
Speaker 3: like a fan does. But the reason you gave for

1083
01:02:05,160 --> 01:02:07,280
Speaker 3: wanting to come back to a game is a really

1084
01:02:07,280 --> 01:02:12,000
Speaker 3: good reason. It's a really good reason, and so I

1085
01:02:12,080 --> 01:02:15,880
Speaker 3: just think that's a strong take. The Bears have gone

1086

1123
01:04:11,440 --> 01:04:14,200
Speaker 7: have their most yards rushing in a first half since

1124
01:04:14,200 --> 01:04:18,280
Speaker 7: they acquired Christian McCaffrey three years ago. On the ground,

1125
01:04:18,360 --> 01:04:22,440
Speaker 7: they're at one thirty two and counting McCaffrey himself twelve

1126
01:04:22,480 --> 01:04:25,840
Speaker 7: carries eighty nine yards in a score. The night started

1127
01:04:25,920 --> 01:04:29,280
Speaker 7: with brock Perties pick six. He has responded with a

1128
01:04:29,320 --> 01:04:33,440

1129
01:04:33,440 --> 01:04:37,160
Speaker 7: four yards rushing on three carries. DeAndre Swift only one

1130
01:04:37,280 --> 01:04:40,800

01:04:40,880 --> 01:04:43,920
Speaker 7: with two td passes, showing off the arm strength again.

1132
01:04:44,080 --> 01:04:45,800
Speaker 7: Second quarter, it's twenty one.

1133
01:04:45,880 --> 01:04:49,160
Speaker 4: All this is not over.

1134
01:04:49,240 --> 01:04:51,480
Speaker 7: Do I even need to say that out loud?

1135
01:04:52,280 --> 01:04:54,040
Speaker 3: Niners are in the red zone, though I also I

1136
01:04:54,040 --> 01:04:55,560
Speaker 3: want to just you know, it's not might.

1137
01:04:55,400 --> 01:04:57,520
Speaker 7: I get into this update. It'll be twenty eight all

1138
01:04:58,960 --> 01:05:01,440
Speaker 7: San Francisco tie and George Kittle is out with an

1139
01:05:01,440 --> 01:05:05,240
Speaker 7: ankle injury. Tackle Trent Williams left early with an ankle injury.

1140
01:05:05,520 --> 01:05:07,480
Speaker 7: Forty nine Ers will be the one seed in the

1141
01:05:07,560 --> 01:05:10,400
Speaker 7: NFC if they win these last two games to tough

1142
01:05:10,400 --> 01:05:13,800
Speaker 7: matchups tonight with the Bears, a fellow eleven and four team,

1143
01:05:14,120 --> 01:05:16,960
Speaker 7: and then the finale against the Seahawks. Bears are currently

1144
01:05:16,960 --> 01:05:20,400
Speaker 7: the two seed in the NFC after last weekend's comeback

1145
01:05:20,440 --> 01:05:23,560
Speaker 7: against Green Bay. And speaking of comebacks, the Bears have

1146
01:05:23,720 --> 01:05:26,520
Speaker 7: six different wins this year when they were trailing in

1147
01:05:26,560 --> 01:05:29,200
Speaker 7: the last two minutes of the fourth quarter. That's not

1148
01:05:29,360 --> 01:05:31,240
Speaker 7: just the most this year, that's the most for any

1149
01:05:31,280 --> 01:05:35,280
Speaker 7: team since the merger with the AFL in nineteen seventy.

1150
01:05:35,600 --> 01:05:38,880
Speaker 7: Philadelphia won thirteen to twelve at Buffalo, is a thirteen

1151
01:05:38,920 --> 01:05:41,280
Speaker 7: to nothing lead at halftime that ends the Bill's four

1152
01:05:41,360 --> 01:05:44,200
Speaker 7: game winning streak. The Bills missed a two point pass

1153
01:05:44,240 --> 01:05:46,840
Speaker 7: at the end, and Buffalo had an extra point kick

1154
01:05:46,920 --> 01:05:49,880
Speaker 7: blocked with just over five minutes to go. The Eagles

1155
01:05:49,960 --> 01:05:53,600
Speaker 7: offense ten drives, eleven first downs, only one hundred and

1156
01:05:53,640 --> 01:05:57,360
Speaker 7: ninety yards and one a total of thirteen punts in

1157
01:05:57,400 --> 01:06:00,200
Speaker 7: that game. Meanwhile, the Giants were at Las Vegas and

1158
01:06:00,240 --> 01:06:02,520
Speaker 7: that was the only other game in the late window.

1159
01:06:02,640 --> 01:06:05,439
Speaker 7: Each team had lost nine in a row. Giants won

1160
01:06:05,480 --> 01:06:08,840
Speaker 7: thirty four to ten. Gino Smith of Vegas, their quarterback

1161
01:06:08,880 --> 01:06:12,440
Speaker 7: one touchdown, two interceptions left with an ankle injury. Raiders

1162
01:06:12,480 --> 01:06:14,720
Speaker 7: could get the number one overall draft choice. I was

1163
01:06:14,720 --> 01:06:17,800
Speaker 7: mentioning a couple of nights ago on the research that

1164
01:06:17,920 --> 01:06:21,280
Speaker 7: I saw, knowing that almost none of the country was

1165
01:06:21,320 --> 01:06:25,560
Speaker 7: getting this Giants Raiders game. Almost everybody was on Fox

1166
01:06:25,600 --> 01:06:29,240
Speaker 7: with Eagles at Buffalo. The only parts of the country

1167
01:06:29,240 --> 01:06:33,120
Speaker 7: that got Giants Raiders apparently were parts of Nevada, parts

1168
01:06:33,120 --> 01:06:37,000
Speaker 7: of New York, New Jersey, Connecticut, and parts of Indiana,

1169
01:06:37,280 --> 01:06:41,720
Speaker 7: which I can only figure because Heisman winner Fernando Mendoza

1170
01:06:41,840 --> 01:06:45,800
Speaker 7: is there and he could be drafted by one of

1171
01:06:45,800 --> 01:06:50,560
Speaker 7: these teams. Raiders do have the number one overall selection.

1172
01:06:51,040 --> 01:06:53,760
Speaker 7: Seattle won at six straight game twenty seven to ten

1173
01:06:53,840 --> 01:06:57,320
Speaker 7: at Carolina. The Seahawks finale will be at San Francisco

1174
01:06:57,440 --> 01:06:59,960
Speaker 7: next week. Seattle currently the one seed in the NFC

1175
01:07:00,200 --> 01:07:02,920
Speaker 7: after defeating the Rams in a thriller, Sam Darnold won

1176
01:07:03,000 --> 01:07:07,320
Speaker 7: touchdown to turnovers. Carolina ends the regular season at Tampa

1177
01:07:07,360 --> 01:07:11,000
Speaker 7: Bay Strong Division Tampa Bay seven and nine now after

1178
01:07:11,080 --> 01:07:14,080
Speaker 7: losing at Miami twenty to seventeen. Bucks have not only

1179
01:07:14,120 --> 01:07:16,479
Speaker 7: lost four straight, they've lost seven of their last eight.

1180
01:07:16,880 --> 01:07:20,280
Speaker 7: Baker Mayfield two touchdowns, three turnovers, three hundred and forty

1181
01:07:20,280 --> 01:07:23,520
Speaker 7: six yards passing, but another l The Tampa Bay running

1182
01:07:23,560 --> 01:07:28,080
Speaker 7: backs combined for thirteen carries thirty seven yards. New England

1183
01:07:28,080 --> 01:07:30,760
Speaker 7: clinched the AFC East title with a forty two to

1184
01:07:30,800 --> 01:07:34,400
Speaker 7: ten win at the Jets. Drake may five touchdown passes,

1185
01:07:34,800 --> 01:07:37,760
Speaker 7: four in the first half, yet another good game for him.

1186
01:07:37,800 --> 01:07:40,560
Speaker 7: He was nineteen of twenty one two hundred and fifty

1187
01:07:40,600 --> 01:07:45,040
Speaker 7: six yards Patriots on the road eight and oh. Jacksonville

1188
01:07:45,080 --> 01:07:48,640
Speaker 7: won its seventh straight game twenty three seventeen at Indianapolis.

1189
01:07:48,720 --> 01:07:52,400
Speaker 7: Quarterback Trevor Lawrence two touchdown runs the Jags in conference

1190
01:07:52,440 --> 01:07:54,960
Speaker 7: now nine and two, including a win against Indy a

1191
01:07:54,960 --> 01:07:58,160
Speaker 7: few weeks ago. The Colts have lost six straight and

1192
01:07:58,280 --> 01:08:01,240
Speaker 7: of course they were eliminated it on Saturday, so they'll

1193
01:08:01,280 --> 01:08:04,680
Speaker 7: likely be starting quarterback Riley Leonard In the finale. Cleveland

1194
01:08:04,720 --> 01:08:07,520
Speaker 7: had lost for in a row was three and twelve overall,

1195
01:08:07,560 --> 01:08:11,760
Speaker 7: but one at home against Pittsburgh thirteen to six. Steelers

1196
01:08:11,840 --> 01:08:14,760
Speaker 7: host Baltimore next Sunday. Pittsburgh could have clinched the division

1197
01:08:14,760 --> 01:08:18,280
Speaker 7: crown today, but the Steelers on third down conversions were

1198
01:08:18,320 --> 01:08:21,719
Speaker 7: three for fifteen and on fourth downs zero for three.

1199
01:08:22,040 --> 01:08:24,680
Speaker 7: The Browns Miles Garrett still needs one more sack for

1200
01:08:24,720 --> 01:08:27,599
Speaker 7: the new NFL record for one season, New Orleans has

1201
01:08:27,600 --> 01:08:30,320
Speaker 7: won four straight after a win at Tennessee thirty four

1202
01:08:30,400 --> 01:08:33,840
Speaker 7: to twenty six, a shockingly high scoring game between these two.

1203
01:08:34,280 --> 01:08:37,240
Speaker 7: Tyler Shuck another good game twenty two of twenty seven,

1204
01:08:37,320 --> 01:08:41,160
Speaker 7: three hundred thirty three yards passing two touchdowns. The Saints

1205
01:08:41,160 --> 01:08:44,080
Speaker 7: for the season were averaging just seventeen points a game,

1206
01:08:44,120 --> 01:08:46,880
Speaker 7: worst in the NFC. The Titans for the season had

1207
01:08:46,920 --> 01:08:49,799
Speaker 7: the second worst offense, only about two hundred and sixty

1208
01:08:49,880 --> 01:08:53,400
Speaker 7: total yards per game. They had three hundred thirty six

1209
01:08:53,479 --> 01:08:57,200
Speaker 7: yards in this one. Arizona's lost eighth straight at Cincinnati.

1210
01:08:57,240 --> 01:08:59,920
Speaker 7: The Bengals beat the Cardinals thirty seven to fourteen. Ar

1211
01:09:00,040 --> 01:09:02,679
Speaker 7: Oh Burrow three hundred and five yards passing two scores.

1212
01:09:03,040 --> 01:09:06,240
Speaker 7: The Cincinnati Bengals had the worst defense in the league.

1213
01:09:06,280 --> 01:09:09,519
Speaker 7: They allow thirty points a game. They allow over four

1214
01:09:09,640 --> 01:09:13,839
Speaker 7: hundred yards a game. Arizona managed to pitally two thirty

1215
01:09:13,920 --> 01:09:17,200
Speaker 7: three in this one and only fourteen points. The Monday

1216
01:09:17,280 --> 01:09:20,320
Speaker 7: night match up the Rams eleven and four are at Atlanta.

1217
01:09:20,680 --> 01:09:24,320
Speaker 7: Rams wide receiver DeVante Adams, due to the hamstring injury,

1218
01:09:24,520 --> 01:09:25,760
Speaker 7: is doubtful.

1219
01:09:25,320 --> 01:09:26,280
Speaker 4: For this one.

1220
01:09:26,479 --> 01:09:29,040
Speaker 7: As for the NBA news, most of the games on

1221
01:09:29,120 --> 01:09:32,960
Speaker 7: the Sunday schedule are final and that includes a Blazers

1222
01:09:33,000 --> 01:09:35,880
Speaker 7: win at home against Boston one fourteen to one to

1223
01:09:35,880 --> 01:09:38,800
Speaker 7: oh eights. The late game Lakers are about to start

1224
01:09:38,880 --> 01:09:42,599
Speaker 7: up at home against Sacramento. In the NHL Pittsburgh leads

1225
01:09:42,640 --> 01:09:45,600
Speaker 7: with a minute to go seven to two at Chicago

1226
01:09:46,439 --> 01:09:50,439
Speaker 7: and updating again the game at San Francisco. They haven't

1227
01:09:50,439 --> 01:09:54,200
Speaker 7: scored yet. I'm done talking. What's going on Chicago twenty one?

1228
01:09:54,240 --> 01:09:55,800
Speaker 7: Well they called to twenty one.

1229
01:09:55,880 --> 01:09:58,080
Speaker 4: Yeah, they call timeout, so that's not really fair.

1230
01:09:58,280 --> 01:09:59,960
Speaker 7: So we've got a second in goal from the three

1231
01:10:00,000 --> 01:10:03,000
Speaker 7: three yard line. Niners are about to score late first

1232
01:10:03,040 --> 01:10:04,320
Speaker 7: half against the Bears.

1233
01:10:05,000 --> 01:10:07,120
Speaker 3: Rock Party did throw a pick in the end zone?

1234
01:10:07,120 --> 01:10:10,040
Speaker 3: Do you guys think? Because and there was a flag

1235
01:10:10,120 --> 01:10:13,360
Speaker 3: that overturned it and it became first and goal. He

1236
01:10:13,920 --> 01:10:16,519
Speaker 3: and uh and Steve, do you think he saw the

1237
01:10:16,560 --> 01:10:18,639
Speaker 3: flag and got risky or.

1238
01:10:18,560 --> 01:10:20,559
Speaker 4: Did he get lucky right there? He got lucky? You

1239
01:10:20,600 --> 01:10:20,920
Speaker 4: think so?

1240
01:10:21,200 --> 01:10:23,360
Speaker 7: Yes, it was the guy that picked it off.

1241
01:10:23,400 --> 01:10:25,800
Speaker 3: That was the penalty, and the illegal hands of face

1242
01:10:25,960 --> 01:10:28,240
Speaker 3: was right at the snap. It was like pearce all

1243
01:10:28,360 --> 01:10:30,479
Speaker 3: came off and like pow. I didn't see when the

1244
01:10:30,520 --> 01:10:33,240
Speaker 3: flag hit the ground, So I don't know.

1245
01:10:33,680 --> 01:10:34,400
Speaker 4: That'd be a question.

1246
01:10:34,479 --> 01:10:37,000
Speaker 3: I'd love to see Brock get asked after.

1247
01:10:37,280 --> 01:10:39,840
Speaker 4: But the thing is you never know, so you don't

1248
01:10:39,880 --> 01:10:41,960
Speaker 4: want I mean, you shouldn't have throw the ball in there.

1249
01:10:42,000 --> 01:10:44,160
Speaker 4: It was you know, it wasn't the window was too

1250
01:10:44,200 --> 01:10:45,040
Speaker 4: small anyway.

1251
01:10:46,080 --> 01:10:49,439
Speaker 3: But you see free play action from a corner. May right,

1252
01:10:49,479 --> 01:10:50,920
Speaker 3: they got a free play.

1253
01:10:50,720 --> 01:10:53,920
Speaker 4: Different because you want to just score, right like you,

1254
01:10:54,800 --> 01:10:55,759
Speaker 4: which he just did.

1255
01:10:55,720 --> 01:10:58,599
Speaker 3: And Rock Party with his second rushing touchdown of the

1256
01:10:58,920 --> 01:10:59,320
Speaker 3: of the game.

1257
01:10:59,360 --> 01:11:02,240
Speaker 7: Guy San France. Cisco has almost three hundred yards in

1258
01:11:02,280 --> 01:11:03,120
Speaker 7: the first half.

1259
01:11:03,320 --> 01:11:05,439
Speaker 4: They and they gave the ball away right.

1260
01:11:05,360 --> 01:11:07,760
Speaker 7: Yeah, pick six on the first place and scrimmaged in it.

1261
01:11:07,800 --> 01:11:10,599
Speaker 7: They have run forty one plays in the first half,

1262
01:11:10,680 --> 01:11:12,920
Speaker 7: only fourteen plays for the Bears offense.

1263
01:11:13,080 --> 01:11:15,200
Speaker 3: That's right, Like, I think the wildest status that the

1264
01:11:15,200 --> 01:11:19,720
Speaker 3: Bears have twenty one points. Five minutes, five minutes and

1265
01:11:19,760 --> 01:11:22,360
Speaker 3: they've got twenty one points. It's incredible.

1266
01:11:22,600 --> 01:11:25,519
Speaker 7: This is like that Army Oklahoma game a few years ago.

1267
01:11:25,640 --> 01:11:28,320
Speaker 7: Oh god, sinners just don't touch the ball and it

1268
01:11:28,360 --> 01:11:29,400
Speaker 7: still goes over time.

1269
01:11:29,680 --> 01:11:30,320
Speaker 2: Good lord.

1270
01:11:30,680 --> 01:11:33,920
Speaker 3: Anyway, you were saying, how about about the flag situation?

1271
01:11:34,000 --> 01:11:37,840
Speaker 4: Yeah, there was a there was another option available on

1272
01:11:37,920 --> 01:11:41,759
Speaker 4: that pass. But he you know, I think he got lucky.

1273
01:11:41,840 --> 01:11:43,559
Speaker 4: I think he was trying to squeeze it into a

1274
01:11:43,600 --> 01:11:45,479
Speaker 4: tight window because it was right in front of him.

1275
01:11:45,920 --> 01:11:49,559
Speaker 4: But you know that that that flag. Did he see

1276
01:11:50,160 --> 01:11:53,080
Speaker 4: the illegal hands to the face. I don't know. I mean,

1277
01:11:53,120 --> 01:11:55,479
Speaker 4: the only half of the ball was he right?

1278
01:11:55,560 --> 01:11:57,880
Speaker 3: Like like if the flag came back, because he dropped

1279
01:11:57,880 --> 01:11:59,840
Speaker 3: back and he's looking right and if the flag hits

1280
01:11:59,840 --> 01:12:00,679
Speaker 3: the yeah, I don't.

1281
01:12:00,560 --> 01:12:03,960
Speaker 7: Know, early flag would be on the offense exactly.

1282
01:12:04,560 --> 01:12:06,639
Speaker 4: So you don't want to do that. You don't want

1283
01:12:06,640 --> 01:12:09,840
Speaker 4: to put it in harm's way before you know. Yeah, yeah,

1284
01:12:10,320 --> 01:12:12,959
Speaker 4: good lord, this game, Yeah, I'm entertaining.

1285
01:12:13,040 --> 01:12:15,000
Speaker 7: I can tell you that Niners nearing one hundred and

1286
01:12:15,040 --> 01:12:17,760
Speaker 7: fifty yards rushing in the first halt. We still have

1287
01:12:17,960 --> 01:12:19,519
Speaker 7: almost three and a half minutes to go in the

1288
01:12:19,520 --> 01:12:20,920
Speaker 7: first had they could get the ball again.

1289
01:12:21,280 --> 01:12:23,519
Speaker 3: And what did you mention off the top of the

1290
01:12:23,560 --> 01:12:27,960
Speaker 3: show in terms of their run stats when George Kittle plays.

1291
01:12:27,720 --> 01:12:30,320
Speaker 7: Versus what, he doesn't three yards of carry yet.

1292
01:12:31,680 --> 01:12:33,880
Speaker 2: And no left tackle Trent Williams either.

1293
01:12:34,680 --> 01:12:36,920
Speaker 7: Yeah, it's six yards of carry?

1294
01:12:36,960 --> 01:12:37,080
Speaker 2: Right?

1295
01:12:37,240 --> 01:12:42,800
Speaker 3: Oh wow, this is an interesting football game. And we'll

1296
01:12:43,080 --> 01:12:45,800
Speaker 3: continue hanging out and watching it together.

1297
01:12:45,840 --> 01:12:48,479
Speaker 7: And looking ahead. There's I know Pierce all is back

1298
01:12:48,479 --> 01:12:51,000
Speaker 7: from injury and playing, but there's no sitting anybody next

1299
01:12:51,000 --> 01:12:52,599
Speaker 7: week the finales against the Sea Hun.

1300
01:12:52,640 --> 01:12:55,759
Speaker 4: Oh no, No, everybody's up and everybody's playing, yeah, which

1301
01:12:55,760 --> 01:12:56,880
Speaker 4: I love. Yeah.

1302
01:12:57,000 --> 01:12:59,519
Speaker 3: I mean the teams that we know right now that

1303
01:12:59,680 --> 01:13:02,400
Speaker 3: don't have any like the teams that matter, forget the

1304
01:13:02,400 --> 01:13:03,880
Speaker 3: teams that have been eliminated.

1305
01:13:03,479 --> 01:13:05,799
Speaker 7: Green bays locked into the same bay is locked.

1306
01:13:06,040 --> 01:13:09,519
Speaker 3: And then outside of that, do we have any playoff

1307
01:13:09,520 --> 01:13:11,160
Speaker 3: teams that are like disinterested?

1308
01:13:11,360 --> 01:13:14,120
Speaker 7: Not in the NFC Carolina's head to head got a

1309
01:13:14,160 --> 01:13:16,880
Speaker 7: game where they have to win at Tampa Bay.

1310
01:13:17,120 --> 01:13:19,599
Speaker 3: I mean, like the Buffalo and the Chargers and all

1311
01:13:19,640 --> 01:13:22,439
Speaker 3: those teams could just be like, we don't care what

1312
01:13:22,560 --> 01:13:27,320
Speaker 3: it is, but but their game does does determine seeding.

1313
01:13:27,560 --> 01:13:30,160
Speaker 7: Well, it's whether you go to Jacksonville or go to

1314
01:13:30,240 --> 01:13:32,720
Speaker 7: New England maybe, So there's the weather difference, not just

1315
01:13:32,760 --> 01:13:33,479
Speaker 7: a team difference.

1316
01:13:33,479 --> 01:13:35,840
Speaker 3: Well, and there's always especially if it's this wide open,

1317
01:13:35,960 --> 01:13:38,200
Speaker 3: I'd want the five seed because the six and seven

1318
01:13:38,240 --> 01:13:38,959
Speaker 3: could advance.

1319
01:13:39,240 --> 01:13:41,679
Speaker 2: Yeah, and then you could end up back in your home.

1320
01:13:41,479 --> 01:13:43,400
Speaker 4: Building a home. You could be home, you know, down

1321
01:13:43,400 --> 01:13:43,800
Speaker 4: the road.

1322
01:13:44,200 --> 01:13:47,479
Speaker 3: So yeah, Wolf, it's going to be a more interesting

1323
01:13:47,520 --> 01:13:50,320
Speaker 3: Week eight team than normal, that's for sure.

1324
01:13:50,400 --> 01:13:54,080
Speaker 7: And don't win their division. By the way, they've beaten

1325
01:13:54,120 --> 01:13:56,719
Speaker 7: the Chargers head to head. They've beaten Buffalo headed, that's.

1326
01:13:56,600 --> 01:13:59,200
Speaker 4: Correct, Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, so.

1327
01:13:58,760 --> 01:14:01,320
Speaker 3: So they're ahead of them in the A and Jacksonville

1328
01:14:01,320 --> 01:14:04,840
Speaker 3: has Tennessee, right, yeah, I believe it. Yeah, So that's

1329
01:14:05,000 --> 01:14:11,840
Speaker 3: a win if they want it. But you know, all right, uh, Steve,

1330
01:14:11,880 --> 01:14:12,759
Speaker 3: great stuff is always.

1331
01:14:12,760 --> 01:14:13,080
Speaker 4: Thank you.

1332
01:14:13,080 --> 01:14:14,639
Speaker 2: We'll talk to you a little bit less than an hour.

1333
01:14:14,680 --> 01:14:16,800
Speaker 3: We're live in the Fox Sports Radio studios, and at

1334
01:14:16,840 --> 01:14:19,880
Speaker 3: long last I'll get to those fourth down numbers here

1335
01:14:20,200 --> 01:14:23,000
Speaker 3: coming up next, Niner's up twenty eight, twenty one, three,

Speaker 3: night football that's e from Marks Fox Sports Radio.

1338
01:14:30,760 --> 01:14:33,240
Speaker 2: All Right, we sit in the Fox Sports Radio studios.

1339
01:14:33,280 --> 01:14:35,960
Speaker 3: There's something really weird about to happen in this football game.

1340
01:14:36,000 --> 01:14:38,360
Speaker 3: I don't know if you've heard of this before, Ephraim.

1341
01:14:39,080 --> 01:14:41,639
Speaker 3: It's called third down.

1342
01:14:42,000 --> 01:14:42,800
Speaker 4: Oh my god.

1343
01:14:42,960 --> 01:14:47,000
Speaker 3: Yeah, so uh buckle up because this is gonna get

1344
01:14:47,400 --> 01:14:48,920
Speaker 3: crazy up in here.

1345
01:14:49,760 --> 01:14:50,800
Speaker 2: We'll keep you up to date.

1346
01:14:51,080 --> 01:14:53,840
Speaker 3: Niner's up twenty eight twenty one inside of two minutes

1347
01:14:53,880 --> 01:14:55,280
Speaker 3: to go first half.

1348
01:14:55,360 --> 01:14:57,280
Speaker 2: Bears have the football.

1349
01:14:58,240 --> 01:15:01,840
Speaker 3: All right, I'm gonna throw something, Matt, and I'm gonna

1350
01:15:01,840 --> 01:15:05,719
Speaker 3: freely admit this is a little bit it's a little

1351
01:15:05,760 --> 01:15:09,880
Speaker 3: bit slanted, you know. I wonder if you even had

1352
01:15:09,920 --> 01:15:14,280
Speaker 3: a guess, Like if you guessed if I gave you

1353
01:15:14,400 --> 01:15:18,240
Speaker 3: the top six teams that go forward on fourth down

1354
01:15:18,400 --> 01:15:22,719
Speaker 3: the least, and then the six teams that go forward

1355
01:15:22,760 --> 01:15:28,320
Speaker 3: on fourth down the most, what would you guess as

1356
01:15:28,360 --> 01:15:30,880
Speaker 3: far as like how those teams are.

1357
01:15:32,080 --> 01:15:35,000
Speaker 4: I would say it's a bit of a trick question,

1358
01:15:35,120 --> 01:15:38,559
Speaker 4: but I would say the teams they go for it

1359
01:15:38,840 --> 01:15:47,160
Speaker 4: the most. Hmm, teams that go for it the most?

1360
01:15:47,520 --> 01:15:48,719
Speaker 4: Are we talking record?

1361
01:15:50,040 --> 01:15:50,240
Speaker 2: Yeah?

1362
01:15:50,600 --> 01:15:53,320
Speaker 4: Like yeah, Well, yeah, just like, how how are they they?

1363
01:15:53,479 --> 01:15:56,519
Speaker 4: You know, good teams, bad teams, mediocre teams. I'd say

1364
01:15:56,560 --> 01:16:01,920
Speaker 4: the teams that go forward the most have a better record, okay,

1365
01:16:01,960 --> 01:16:06,240
Speaker 4: because inevitably some of those go that endy and you

1366
01:16:06,680 --> 01:16:11,280
Speaker 4: are able to extend drives and you give yourself more possessions.

1367
01:16:12,840 --> 01:16:15,400
Speaker 3: See, I was thinking to myself, as possible, the teams

1368
01:16:15,400 --> 01:16:17,240
Speaker 3: that go for it the most are the teams that

1369
01:16:17,280 --> 01:16:21,240
Speaker 3: are always down right, because like, you have to go

1370
01:16:21,360 --> 01:16:23,880
Speaker 3: forward on fourth down if it's the fourth corter and

1371
01:16:23,920 --> 01:16:26,800
Speaker 3: you're down by ten or whatnot. But there was one

1372
01:16:26,920 --> 01:16:28,880
Speaker 3: quirky little thing that showed up to me. I'm gonna

1373
01:16:28,880 --> 01:16:33,200
Speaker 3: read these teams and then you tell me what stands

1374
01:16:33,200 --> 01:16:37,280
Speaker 3: out the teams. The six teams that go for it

1375
01:16:37,560 --> 01:16:42,880
Speaker 3: the least on fourth down this year, the Seattle Seahawks,

1376
01:16:43,800 --> 01:16:49,280
Speaker 3: Los Angeles Chargers, Philadelphia Eagles, the San Francisco forty nine

1377
01:16:49,360 --> 01:16:52,599
Speaker 3: ers who've already gone forth on fourth and converted once tonight,

1378
01:16:53,800 --> 01:17:01,080
Speaker 3: and the Houston Texans and the Denver Broncos the least

1379
01:17:01,120 --> 01:17:03,400
Speaker 3: six teams that go for it the least. What What

1380
01:17:03,439 --> 01:17:06,040
Speaker 3: did you notice about those sixteen.

1381
01:17:06,040 --> 01:17:10,800
Speaker 4: Infs ding We're all vying for the number one seed

1382
01:17:11,000 --> 01:17:12,679
Speaker 4: ding ding.

1383
01:17:13,560 --> 01:17:16,920
Speaker 3: Now, listen to the six teams that go for it

1384
01:17:17,200 --> 01:17:24,400
Speaker 3: the most, the New York Giants, the New York Jets,

1385
01:17:25,920 --> 01:17:34,439
Speaker 3: the Dallas Cowboys, the Carolina Panthers, the Tennessee Titans, and.

1386
01:17:36,800 --> 01:17:39,160
Speaker 2: The Detroit Lions.

1387
01:17:40,439 --> 01:17:42,120
Speaker 4: None of them are in the playoffs.

1388
01:17:43,160 --> 01:17:45,360
Speaker 2: Well, obviously then the Panthers could be.

1389
01:17:46,920 --> 01:17:49,240
Speaker 3: But what stands out to me, because we get that

1390
01:17:49,240 --> 01:17:50,800
Speaker 3: that division is a little bit of a set.

1391
01:17:53,240 --> 01:17:57,360
Speaker 2: Yeah, what what stands out to me is Dan Campbell. Yeah,

1392
01:17:57,640 --> 01:17:58,920
Speaker 2: that's what stands out to me.

1393
01:18:01,479 --> 01:18:02,280
Speaker 4: Poor management.

1394
01:18:02,479 --> 01:18:08,160
Speaker 3: I wonder, and I'm not trying to use these airwaves

1395
01:18:08,240 --> 01:18:11,840
Speaker 3: to fire anybody who has been quite successful by the

1396
01:18:11,840 --> 01:18:17,840
Speaker 3: way I thought, but I wonder if Dan Campbell, when

1397
01:18:18,000 --> 01:18:20,720
Speaker 3: when all is said and done, if he might not

1398
01:18:20,880 --> 01:18:23,880
Speaker 3: end up being the Mark Jackson of the NFL. And

1399
01:18:23,920 --> 01:18:26,439
Speaker 3: what I mean by that is Mark Jackson is the

1400
01:18:26,439 --> 01:18:30,599
Speaker 3: one who sort of was a culture shifter for the

1401
01:18:30,640 --> 01:18:34,840
Speaker 3: Golden State Warriors and things were on a real upswing

1402
01:18:35,680 --> 01:18:39,080
Speaker 3: and step Stephen Clay were real young, and he nicknamed

1403
01:18:39,160 --> 01:18:43,320
Speaker 3: him the Splash Brothers and all of these things. But

1404
01:18:43,439 --> 01:18:46,040
Speaker 3: then the Warriors decided, you know what, we think maybe

1405
01:18:46,080 --> 01:18:50,120
Speaker 3: somebody else is needed to kind of get this over

1406
01:18:50,320 --> 01:18:53,920
Speaker 3: the top, Like, you're good, but how do we get

1407
01:18:53,960 --> 01:18:59,559
Speaker 3: this over the top? Enter Steve Kerr. Four championships later,

1408
01:19:00,160 --> 01:19:04,640
Speaker 3: you have a dynasty. Dan Campbell will always be a

1409
01:19:04,800 --> 01:19:10,559
Speaker 3: wonderful culture changer, but I don't know where we are

1410
01:19:10,720 --> 01:19:13,880
Speaker 3: now in terms of how he's actually coaching this team.

1411
01:19:15,360 --> 01:19:19,639
Speaker 4: That's a great point. I think. I think you're absolutely right.

1412
01:19:19,720 --> 01:19:25,040
Speaker 4: I think I don't know if then I talked a

1413
01:19:25,080 --> 01:19:27,759
Speaker 4: little bit about a lot of bit about this last week,

1414
01:19:27,840 --> 01:19:32,400
Speaker 4: I don't know if the Detroit Lions and Dan Campbell

1415
01:19:32,720 --> 01:19:40,519
Speaker 4: can go it can ascend higher because it was right

1416
01:19:40,560 --> 01:19:45,800
Speaker 4: there for him. Literally in his third year, he was

1417
01:19:45,840 --> 01:19:48,920
Speaker 4: three points away from the super Bowl and he gave

1418
01:19:49,040 --> 01:19:51,680
Speaker 4: nine points away. But he didn't learn from that. He

1419
01:19:51,800 --> 01:19:56,040
Speaker 4: doubled down on it. Now they're going backwards. Now they're

1420
01:19:56,040 --> 01:20:01,960
Speaker 4: going backwards, and if I'm ownership, I have to look

1421
01:20:02,000 --> 01:20:05,960
Speaker 4: at that. Now, he's not going to get fired because

1422
01:20:06,200 --> 01:20:08,519
Speaker 4: this is the best thing that's happened to them since

1423
01:20:08,640 --> 01:20:14,200
Speaker 4: Barry Sanderson, right, right, But if he has another sub

1424
01:20:14,280 --> 01:20:17,360
Speaker 4: par year where they don't make the playoffs, that's when

1425
01:20:17,360 --> 01:20:19,320
Speaker 4: you make the decision like oh okay.

1426
01:20:19,040 --> 01:20:23,080
Speaker 3: Yeah, no. It's an interesting conversation coming up next. I'm

1427
01:20:23,120 --> 01:20:25,920
Speaker 3: gonna pin you you gotta pick a Super Bowl team.

1428
01:20:26,320 --> 01:20:26,920
Speaker 4: That's next.

1429
01:20:28,160 --> 01:20:30,800
Speaker 1: Don't listening to Fox Sports Radio Radio.

1430
01:20:31,280 --> 01:20:34,479
Speaker 2: Off we go into the night, our final hour.

1431
01:20:34,720 --> 01:20:36,519
Speaker 3: We are not going to get you to the end

1432
01:20:36,560 --> 01:20:38,679
Speaker 3: of this game, because, as we've told you a number

1433
01:20:38,680 --> 01:20:40,880
Speaker 3: of times, this game is on a little bit of

1434
01:20:40,880 --> 01:20:45,599
Speaker 3: a bender. So we've just arrived at halftime almost two

1435
01:20:45,600 --> 01:20:50,760
Speaker 3: hours after kick Niners twenty eight, Bear's twenty one. Reacting

1436
01:20:50,800 --> 01:20:53,599
Speaker 3: to all of it and everything that happened before it

1437
01:20:53,760 --> 01:20:58,000
Speaker 3: throughout the week earlier. Today we're broadcasting live from the

1438
01:20:58,040 --> 01:21:03,320
Speaker 3: Fox Sports Radio studios from I just would love to

1439
01:21:03,439 --> 01:21:07,160
Speaker 3: hear what your answer is. If I said to you

1440
01:21:07,680 --> 01:21:12,400
Speaker 3: there there can be no hammin and hawn, there can

1441
01:21:12,439 --> 01:21:15,639
Speaker 3: be no ifs, there can be no.

1442
01:21:15,640 --> 01:21:18,320
Speaker 2: Bots, there can be no well maybes.

1443
01:21:19,600 --> 01:21:23,719
Speaker 3: If I asked you in this wide open NFL season,

1444
01:21:24,880 --> 01:21:29,280
Speaker 3: pick a team in each conference, you gotta put a

1445
01:21:29,360 --> 01:21:32,960
Speaker 3: chip in the circle. Who do you ride with to

1446
01:21:33,200 --> 01:21:36,639
Speaker 3: end up back where this game is being played in

1447
01:21:36,680 --> 01:21:38,120
Speaker 3: Santa Clara in February.

1448
01:21:38,120 --> 01:21:44,400
Speaker 4: For the Super Bowl, I take the Texans and the

1449
01:21:44,439 --> 01:21:45,360
Speaker 4: forty nine ers.

1450
01:21:45,800 --> 01:21:47,000
Speaker 2: The forty nine ers.

1451
01:21:48,400 --> 01:21:52,040
Speaker 3: It's interesting that you just said that because one of

1452
01:21:52,080 --> 01:21:54,960
Speaker 3: those teams I totally get because you're like, hey man,

1453
01:21:55,320 --> 01:21:59,200
Speaker 3: I'm a ride defense through this thing. The other team

1454
01:21:59,360 --> 01:22:03,439
Speaker 3: is to cause trying to play without a defense. They're

1455
01:22:03,479 --> 01:22:07,840
Speaker 3: literally playing Bengal ball right now. The forty nine ers.

1456
01:22:07,840 --> 01:22:11,880
Speaker 4: Yeah, I say them because what they have in front

1457
01:22:11,920 --> 01:22:16,639
Speaker 4: of them is extra motivation in terms of if they

1458
01:22:16,680 --> 01:22:20,599
Speaker 4: do if they end up winning this game tonight and

1459
01:22:21,680 --> 01:22:28,200
Speaker 4: a showdown between them Seattle for all the marbles. I mean,

1460
01:22:28,240 --> 01:22:30,519
Speaker 4: they don't they won't have to travel. No, They're like

1461
01:22:31,040 --> 01:22:32,800
Speaker 4: as they left Indianapolis.

1462
01:22:33,439 --> 01:22:35,240
Speaker 3: This is something we talked about on our show during

1463
01:22:35,280 --> 01:22:38,759
Speaker 3: the week, where like, if the forty nine ers continue

1464
01:22:38,800 --> 01:22:41,559
Speaker 3: to win, the path is created that they will not

1465
01:22:41,680 --> 01:22:42,679
Speaker 3: leave their building again.

1466
01:22:44,600 --> 01:22:48,880
Speaker 4: They're there and I think they are. Yeah, that in

1467
01:22:48,920 --> 01:22:53,160
Speaker 4: itself is is it's quite the motivator. Now. They're a

1468
01:22:53,200 --> 01:22:56,160
Speaker 4: good team. They have a lot of missing pieces, but

1469
01:22:56,200 --> 01:23:02,920
Speaker 4: they're they've shown and proved to us that so right,

1470
01:23:03,000 --> 01:23:07,120
Speaker 4: so and that's a dangerous team. Kiddo will be back.

1471
01:23:09,120 --> 01:23:14,160
Speaker 4: You know, they were even talking about I mean I

1472
01:23:14,160 --> 01:23:18,080
Speaker 4: think I'm like, oh my gosh, yeah, I mean I think.

1473
01:23:17,880 --> 01:23:22,760
Speaker 3: The scenario that Fred is actually somewhat realistic. And I

1474
01:23:22,800 --> 01:23:26,280
Speaker 3: don't even know if that's the right word, but a possibility.

1475
01:23:26,760 --> 01:23:32,360
Speaker 3: It sounded to me like if they were to get

1476
01:23:32,760 --> 01:23:37,720
Speaker 3: to the NFC title game, but that could literally be

1477
01:23:37,840 --> 01:23:41,080
Speaker 3: two and a half wins away. If they win this

1478
01:23:41,120 --> 01:23:44,880
Speaker 3: one tonight, you get Seattle and an opportunity for the

1479
01:23:44,880 --> 01:23:48,639
Speaker 3: one seed and the bye and then you're you're.

1480
01:23:48,520 --> 01:23:49,960
Speaker 2: Already in the divisional round.

1481
01:23:50,040 --> 01:23:50,400
Speaker 4: That's it.

1482
01:23:50,680 --> 01:23:53,679
Speaker 3: You need one more win and then and then Warner

1483
01:23:53,720 --> 01:23:56,719
Speaker 3: could play. That's a lot, that's I mean.

1484
01:23:58,560 --> 01:23:58,920
Speaker 2: A lot.

1485
01:23:59,240 --> 01:24:02,719
Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, I mean, but starting with the next thirty

1486
01:24:02,720 --> 01:24:03,439
Speaker 3: minutes at right.

1487
01:24:03,560 --> 01:24:06,639
Speaker 4: And now, Like I said, my answer may change by

1488
01:24:06,680 --> 01:24:10,559
Speaker 4: the end of this game, but as of right now, yeah,

1489
01:24:10,640 --> 01:24:12,479
Speaker 4: that's where that's where my answer would be.

1490
01:24:12,640 --> 01:24:15,080
Speaker 3: So someone asked me this earlier in the week, and

1491
01:24:15,120 --> 01:24:17,719
Speaker 3: I said this through my teeth. And maybe it's also

1492
01:24:17,920 --> 01:24:20,439
Speaker 3: just like a self protection device, but I said, the

1493
01:24:20,479 --> 01:24:22,679
Speaker 3: Texans and the Rams.

1494
01:24:23,320 --> 01:24:26,040
Speaker 4: You know, I can argue that. Yeah, that's what I said.

1495
01:24:26,120 --> 01:24:28,960
Speaker 3: And and yes, just you know, I think our audience,

1496
01:24:29,040 --> 01:24:31,400
Speaker 3: if you listen with any regularity.

1497
01:24:30,880 --> 01:24:32,120
Speaker 4: You get you get this.

1498
01:24:32,280 --> 01:24:37,000
Speaker 3: I I believe forty nine are read and so, uh,

1499
01:24:37,320 --> 01:24:39,160
Speaker 3: you know, the Rams going to the super Bowl would

1500
01:24:39,200 --> 01:24:41,360
Speaker 3: be uh, that'd be that'd.

1501
01:24:41,160 --> 01:24:44,200
Speaker 2: Be a difficult it'd be a difficult one to swallow.

1502
01:24:45,120 --> 01:24:47,760
Speaker 3: But I have that whole family structure, not within my

1503
01:24:47,800 --> 01:24:51,040
Speaker 3: own home, but within the extended family, like sisters, A

1504
01:24:51,080 --> 01:24:53,960
Speaker 3: huge Niner fan, she's married to a screaming at the

1505
01:24:54,000 --> 01:24:58,320
Speaker 3: television Rams fan, and so that the text messages go

1506
01:24:58,400 --> 01:25:01,479
Speaker 3: wild with these these two teams. But you know, I

1507
01:25:01,560 --> 01:25:05,080
Speaker 3: just think that I think the Rams are probably as

1508
01:25:05,200 --> 01:25:08,559
Speaker 3: close as the NFC gets to a complete team.

1509
01:25:09,560 --> 01:25:11,599
Speaker 4: But but what they.

1510
01:25:11,479 --> 01:25:14,879
Speaker 3: Did in Seattle a couple of weeks ago has created

1511
01:25:14,920 --> 01:25:17,600
Speaker 3: a challenge for them now that they may not be

1512
01:25:17,640 --> 01:25:21,280
Speaker 3: able to get out of. Not that they've got some

1513
01:25:21,400 --> 01:25:24,519
Speaker 3: great home field advantage by any stretch, but.

1514
01:25:25,960 --> 01:25:26,800
Speaker 4: If you've got to.

1515
01:25:26,760 --> 01:25:29,960
Speaker 3: Send them somewhere, if you I mean, we'll see, you know,

1516
01:25:30,040 --> 01:25:32,320
Speaker 3: if it's going to be January, if you end up

1517
01:25:32,360 --> 01:25:37,120
Speaker 3: in Chicago, you know, some of what you're doing gets neutralized.

1518
01:25:37,200 --> 01:25:39,439
Speaker 3: I don't know when DeVante Adams is coming back. I

1519
01:25:39,439 --> 01:25:44,559
Speaker 3: don't know if he's coming back at all. So but

1520
01:25:44,600 --> 01:25:47,000
Speaker 3: that's that's what I said when someone asked me about

1521
01:25:47,000 --> 01:25:47,519
Speaker 3: a week ago.

1522
01:25:48,640 --> 01:25:51,760
Speaker 4: And you wouldn't be wrong. I mean, the Rams to

1523
01:25:51,840 --> 01:25:56,360
Speaker 4: me are top tier, the best, if not at one

1524
01:25:56,400 --> 01:25:58,479
Speaker 4: of the best if not the best team in the NFC.

1525
01:26:00,040 --> 01:26:02,960
Speaker 4: They're dangerous, they play good defense, they got a young,

1526
01:26:03,120 --> 01:26:07,679
Speaker 4: hungry defense in Matthew Stafford. It's probably gonna win the MVP,

1527
01:26:07,960 --> 01:26:10,799
Speaker 4: although Drake may had something to say about that today.

1528
01:26:11,120 --> 01:26:12,479
Speaker 2: Yeah, yep, sure did.

1529
01:26:14,280 --> 01:26:16,559
Speaker 4: But coming down the stretch, this is as a fan,

1530
01:26:16,720 --> 01:26:19,559
Speaker 4: this is what you look forward to. Games that means

1531
01:26:19,560 --> 01:26:25,080
Speaker 4: something in week eighteen, and players playing an extremely high

1532
01:26:25,200 --> 01:26:29,800
Speaker 4: level when things are on the line. As a fan,

1533
01:26:30,040 --> 01:26:35,600
Speaker 4: I'm here for and I love it. I think it's fantastic.

1534
01:26:35,880 --> 01:26:38,080
Speaker 3: I think these are going to be as hard to

1535
01:26:38,160 --> 01:26:40,759
Speaker 3: predict in terms of playoffs as we've ever seen.

1536
01:26:41,520 --> 01:26:42,719
Speaker 2: The first round will.

1537
01:26:42,560 --> 01:26:46,040
Speaker 3: Not have any gimmeis maybe one Maybe whoever ends up

1538
01:26:46,040 --> 01:26:48,280
Speaker 3: in Tampa at Carolina you'll feel good about it.

1539
01:26:48,280 --> 01:26:55,120
Speaker 4: We'll see. But this can be very, very difficult to predict,

1540
01:26:55,160 --> 01:26:55,599
Speaker 4: for sure.

1541
01:26:56,240 --> 01:27:01,120
Speaker 3: And even in the AFC, where you do have, you

1542
01:27:01,160 --> 01:27:04,040
Speaker 3: know that that AFC north to still get figured out

1543
01:27:04,760 --> 01:27:08,439
Speaker 3: and neither of them have sparkly records. But I think

1544
01:27:08,439 --> 01:27:11,760
Speaker 3: both of those teams can be a problem. Like I

1545
01:27:11,760 --> 01:27:14,000
Speaker 3: don't really think Carolina and Tampa right now can be

1546
01:27:14,040 --> 01:27:18,519
Speaker 3: a problem. No, I think Pittsburgh and Baldelves exactly.

1547
01:27:18,680 --> 01:27:20,719
Speaker 4: Yeah, they are just a problem period.

1548
01:27:21,120 --> 01:27:24,040
Speaker 3: But I think Pittsburgh and Baltimore can be challenging for

1549
01:27:24,040 --> 01:27:27,439
Speaker 3: whoever's going to come in there. And so yeah, the

1550
01:27:27,520 --> 01:27:30,600
Speaker 3: AFC feels like, let's see how many playoff games do

1551
01:27:30,640 --> 01:27:35,400
Speaker 3: you have in each conference? You get three and then

1552
01:27:35,960 --> 01:27:36,559
Speaker 3: you get.

1553
01:27:36,439 --> 01:27:37,639
Speaker 4: Two more and then one.

1554
01:27:37,720 --> 01:27:42,760
Speaker 3: So that's like, I mean, I think it's six coin tosses. Yeah,

1555
01:27:43,160 --> 01:27:44,640
Speaker 3: they're total coin toss.

1556
01:27:44,360 --> 01:27:47,400
Speaker 4: But that's what you want, right, Absolutely, you don't want

1557
01:27:47,400 --> 01:27:52,080
Speaker 4: it like the college playoffs the first round or a

1558
01:27:52,120 --> 01:27:55,439
Speaker 4: college player. You don't want that, do you. No? No,

1559
01:27:56,000 --> 01:28:00,320
Speaker 4: although I'll I'll still defend what they're doing there. I'm okay, Yeah,

1560
01:28:00,360 --> 01:28:01,160
Speaker 4: I'm okay with it.

1561
01:28:01,960 --> 01:28:06,920
Speaker 3: Hey, are you a point differential guy? Like, do you

1562
01:28:06,920 --> 01:28:10,479
Speaker 3: think that's a good sort of like litmus test? An

1563
01:28:10,520 --> 01:28:14,880
Speaker 3: accurate trail? What a team is in some cases.

1564
01:28:16,400 --> 01:28:20,840
Speaker 4: Mainly for the defensive output, right if if you can

1565
01:28:21,000 --> 01:28:25,280
Speaker 4: hold teams and we've seen this, We've seen teams who

1566
01:28:25,320 --> 01:28:29,080
Speaker 4: weren't offensive druggernauts get to the Super Bowl to win

1567
01:28:29,120 --> 01:28:32,760
Speaker 4: Super Bowls because of their defense. So you know, you

1568
01:28:32,800 --> 01:28:36,599
Speaker 4: get a team holding I think the not the eighty

1569
01:28:36,640 --> 01:28:40,080
Speaker 4: five Bears, but the Rex Grossman Bears. I think they

1570
01:28:40,120 --> 01:28:42,320
Speaker 4: were holding teams to like eleven and a half points,

1571
01:28:42,360 --> 01:28:46,400
Speaker 4: twelve points right right, they were only scoring probably seventeen.

1572
01:28:47,800 --> 01:28:52,960
Speaker 4: But if you look at the Tampa Bay Buccanneers with

1573
01:28:53,080 --> 01:28:57,439
Speaker 4: Trent Dilford and at Simeon Rice and more in sap

1574
01:28:57,520 --> 01:29:01,280
Speaker 4: defense another historic defense to the Super Bowl one like

1575
01:29:01,680 --> 01:29:06,960
Speaker 4: so on the defensive side, that point differential for me

1576
01:29:06,960 --> 01:29:08,479
Speaker 4: means more. Okay.

1577
01:29:09,560 --> 01:29:13,639
Speaker 3: I just think like sometimes you can look at teams

1578
01:29:13,680 --> 01:29:17,560
Speaker 3: and you can sort of at least smell an outlier.

1579
01:29:17,680 --> 01:29:22,240
Speaker 3: Like I remember the Minnesota Vikings a few years ago.

1580
01:29:22,320 --> 01:29:24,479
Speaker 3: This was not the Sam Donald Vikings. This was the

1581
01:29:24,560 --> 01:29:27,840
Speaker 3: Kirk Cousins Vikings that lost to Daniel Jones and the

1582
01:29:27,840 --> 01:29:31,120
Speaker 3: New York Giants and the playoffs. And the Vikings had

1583
01:29:31,160 --> 01:29:33,519
Speaker 3: a big, sparky record and they won almost all their games,

1584
01:29:33,520 --> 01:29:35,040
Speaker 3: and their point differential at the end of the year

1585
01:29:35,120 --> 01:29:38,599
Speaker 3: was like plus five. Yeah, but they won all their games.

1586
01:29:38,880 --> 01:29:41,599
Speaker 3: It's just like, man, it's kind of like the Chiefs

1587
01:29:41,680 --> 01:29:46,800
Speaker 3: last year. And there are some things that stand out

1588
01:29:47,400 --> 01:29:51,160
Speaker 3: with point differential. The Carolina Panthers, for example, their point

1589
01:29:51,160 --> 01:29:54,280
Speaker 3: differential is eight points different than the New York Giants.

1590
01:29:55,960 --> 01:30:00,679
Speaker 3: Let that sink in their point differential is eight points

1591
01:30:00,760 --> 01:30:03,560
Speaker 3: different than the New York Giants.

1592
01:30:04,200 --> 01:30:07,920
Speaker 4: And for the listeners who don't understand, point differential is

1593
01:30:07,960 --> 01:30:10,320
Speaker 4: how much you score and how much you give up, right,

1594
01:30:10,400 --> 01:30:12,839
Speaker 4: and the difference between those two exactly.

1595
01:30:13,280 --> 01:30:15,559
Speaker 3: So the higher the number and the plus that means

1596
01:30:15,560 --> 01:30:18,360
Speaker 3: the more dominant you are, the lower the number you are.

1597
01:30:18,400 --> 01:30:21,400
Speaker 3: The Raiders, for instance, are a minus one ninety three.

1598
01:30:21,960 --> 01:30:26,320
Speaker 3: That is the worst point differential in in the NFL

1599
01:30:26,400 --> 01:30:26,720
Speaker 3: this year.

1600
01:30:26,800 --> 01:30:28,040
Speaker 4: Yeah, that'll get you to wins.

1601
01:30:28,240 --> 01:30:30,880
Speaker 3: The Bears if you add in the first half of

1602
01:30:30,920 --> 01:30:35,320
Speaker 3: this football game, their point differential is plus twenty six

1603
01:30:36,080 --> 01:30:42,000
Speaker 3: for a team that's eleven and four. That would suggest

1604
01:30:43,120 --> 01:30:45,000
Speaker 3: that maybe some bounces are going their way.

1605
01:30:45,240 --> 01:30:49,480
Speaker 4: All of the bounce is scoring, now, that's yeah, that's right. Yeah.

1606
01:30:49,520 --> 01:30:53,240
Speaker 3: And they lead the NFL in turnovers, which you get

1607
01:30:53,280 --> 01:30:57,160
Speaker 3: credit for that, but some of those are you know,

1608
01:30:57,320 --> 01:31:01,080
Speaker 3: dropped balls and tipped balls and all all of that stuff.

1609
01:31:02,160 --> 01:31:04,080
Speaker 3: So the next question I wanted to ask off of

1610
01:31:04,120 --> 01:31:07,240
Speaker 3: that is, especially for an offensive lineman, do you believe

1611
01:31:07,280 --> 01:31:09,480
Speaker 3: in the phrase defense wins championships?

1612
01:31:10,600 --> 01:31:14,479
Speaker 4: Yes you do? Oh yeah, okay, I've been on the team.

1613
01:31:15,120 --> 01:31:19,679
Speaker 4: Would phenomenal. It makes our job easy. Sure, it makes

1614
01:31:19,760 --> 01:31:20,639
Speaker 4: our job easy.

1615
01:31:20,840 --> 01:31:23,479
Speaker 3: Well, I mean, we're watching a football game where forty

1616
01:31:23,600 --> 01:31:26,400
Speaker 3: nine points were scored in the first half, and these

1617
01:31:26,400 --> 01:31:31,599
Speaker 3: are two of the best teams. And how many teams

1618
01:31:31,600 --> 01:31:34,200
Speaker 3: that are going to the playoffs this year actually play

1619
01:31:34,280 --> 01:31:35,320
Speaker 3: really good defense.

1620
01:31:36,120 --> 01:31:39,240
Speaker 4: I think the Houston Texans do. I think the Broncos do.

1621
01:31:40,120 --> 01:31:43,720
Speaker 3: I think did the Broncos not raise your eyebrow with

1622
01:31:43,760 --> 01:31:45,800
Speaker 3: the performance against Jacksonville last week?

1623
01:31:45,960 --> 01:31:48,720
Speaker 4: That's a one game, that's the one, but totality of

1624
01:31:49,680 --> 01:31:52,760
Speaker 4: the amount of pressure they were putting on opposing offenses,

1625
01:31:53,760 --> 01:31:59,280
Speaker 4: I mean they can play. I also think Seattle plays uh.

1626
01:31:59,560 --> 01:32:02,880
Speaker 4: I agree with that. Uh, And I think the Rams

1627
01:32:02,960 --> 01:32:09,880
Speaker 4: and uh.

1628
01:32:06,880 --> 01:32:11,880
Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, exactly, yeah that that that's That's not a

1629
01:32:11,880 --> 01:32:13,000
Speaker 3: lot of teams.

1630
01:32:13,720 --> 01:32:15,840
Speaker 4: No it's not. But I'm looking at like, but it's

1631
01:32:15,840 --> 01:32:18,160
Speaker 4: only fourteen of them in the dance, I know.

1632
01:32:18,240 --> 01:32:20,799
Speaker 3: But none of the teams that aren't going play good defense.

1633
01:32:20,880 --> 01:32:23,760
Speaker 3: Maybe Cleveland ish sometimes.

1634
01:32:24,120 --> 01:32:26,400
Speaker 4: Let me tell you this. Let me tell you this. Yeah,

1635
01:32:26,439 --> 01:32:29,760
Speaker 4: go ahead. If that Cleveland defense as it stands right

1636
01:32:29,800 --> 01:32:36,160
Speaker 4: now was on any of the playoff teams that would

1637
01:32:36,200 --> 01:32:38,000
Speaker 4: be the favorite to win, win the whole thing.

1638
01:32:38,320 --> 01:32:40,920
Speaker 2: Absolutely, But this is my point. I think that there.

1639
01:32:41,000 --> 01:32:43,080
Speaker 3: If I ask you how many teams in the NFL

1640
01:32:43,200 --> 01:32:47,000
Speaker 3: right now are playing good defense, it's like four, maybe

1641
01:32:47,040 --> 01:32:49,920
Speaker 3: not even that. Seattle played the Rams and the final

1642
01:32:49,960 --> 01:32:51,719
Speaker 3: score was thirty eight to thirty seven.

1643
01:32:51,960 --> 01:32:54,400
Speaker 4: Yeah, that's just like in December.

1644
01:32:54,560 --> 01:32:59,280
Speaker 3: Yeah, it's just odd, Like does defense like nobody's playing

1645
01:32:59,280 --> 01:32:59,919
Speaker 3: it anymore.

1646
01:33:00,800 --> 01:33:04,200
Speaker 4: Oh, it's an offensive league. It's really an offensive league.

1647
01:33:04,240 --> 01:33:09,519
Speaker 4: And you look at the dynamic vision of especially young

1648
01:33:10,080 --> 01:33:13,600
Speaker 4: offensive coordinators and what they bring to the tables, a

1649
01:33:13,640 --> 01:33:17,720
Speaker 4: new energy coming in new styles, the RPO. All of

1650
01:33:17,760 --> 01:33:21,240
Speaker 4: you got to remember the evolution of NFL offenses has changed.

1651
01:33:21,640 --> 01:33:29,799
Speaker 4: Remember the time where college and professional football were completely separate.

1652
01:33:30,479 --> 01:33:33,360
Speaker 4: We're not running that in college. A college would have

1653
01:33:33,439 --> 01:33:37,640
Speaker 4: to conform to a pro style offense in order for

1654
01:33:37,800 --> 01:33:40,200
Speaker 4: players to come from that and be ready to play.

1655
01:33:42,080 --> 01:33:47,479
Speaker 4: I was lucky because in college, my offensive line coach

1656
01:33:47,560 --> 01:33:51,200
Speaker 4: came from the NFL, and so he had myself and

1657
01:33:51,280 --> 01:33:54,880
Speaker 4: Kyle Turley and Mike Mulano, all of us who got

1658
01:33:54,920 --> 01:33:56,720
Speaker 4: drafted and went on and played in the league for

1659
01:33:56,760 --> 01:33:58,960
Speaker 4: a bunch of years. He had us ready to step

1660
01:33:58,960 --> 01:34:01,360
Speaker 4: in right away and played. Kyle and I were all

1661
01:34:01,439 --> 01:34:05,360
Speaker 4: on the all rookie team because we had been practicing

1662
01:34:05,439 --> 01:34:08,240
Speaker 4: for three four years like he practiced when he played

1663
01:34:08,240 --> 01:34:13,160
Speaker 4: in the league. Now, the difference now is there's so

1664
01:34:13,280 --> 01:34:15,920
Speaker 4: much carryover. And I think, and I think I could

1665
01:34:16,000 --> 01:34:21,439
Speaker 4: put my finger on it. I think RG three's rookie

1666
01:34:21,520 --> 01:34:26,040
Speaker 4: year with Kyle Shanahan as an offensive coordinator and Mike

1667
01:34:26,080 --> 01:34:31,840
Speaker 4: Shanahan as the head coach, I think that's where a

1668
01:34:31,960 --> 01:34:40,880
Speaker 4: historic offense changed to benefit the talent at quarterback. Normally,

1669
01:34:41,000 --> 01:34:43,920
Speaker 4: it's quarterback has to come in and fit our system,

1670
01:34:44,000 --> 01:34:48,080
Speaker 4: fit our mold. It was never well, we gonna run

1671
01:34:48,080 --> 01:34:54,120
Speaker 4: what he good at until that time and RG three had,

1672
01:34:55,080 --> 01:34:57,360
Speaker 4: you know, it was co Rookie of the year. They

1673
01:34:57,520 --> 01:34:59,400
Speaker 4: went to the playoffs, hurt his knee, and the whole

1674
01:34:59,479 --> 01:35:04,200
Speaker 4: fiasco happened after that, but they maximize his ability and

1675
01:35:04,280 --> 01:35:09,760
Speaker 4: his talent based on their willingness to I ran the

1676
01:35:09,840 --> 01:35:12,559
Speaker 4: Kyle Shanahan offense. From the majority of micael I was like,

1677
01:35:12,600 --> 01:35:16,120
Speaker 4: wait a minute, what is that? What did the zone read?

1678
01:35:16,720 --> 01:35:20,720
Speaker 4: Where did that come from? But they recognized something and

1679
01:35:20,840 --> 01:35:25,479
Speaker 4: so what that did was that ushered in a new

1680
01:35:25,520 --> 01:35:30,439
Speaker 4: way and a new energy of offensive coordinators saying okay,

1681
01:35:30,920 --> 01:35:33,800
Speaker 4: instead of making this player who didn't come from a

1682
01:35:33,840 --> 01:35:38,120
Speaker 4: pro style offense. Fit this. We want to utilize what

1683
01:35:38,200 --> 01:35:46,200
Speaker 4: he does. Now. You look at Stanford and what's his

1684
01:35:46,280 --> 01:35:50,519
Speaker 4: name for the Colts, Andrew Luck? Andrew Yes, right, you

1685
01:35:50,640 --> 01:35:54,120
Speaker 4: look at Andrew Luck came into the Indianapolis Colts ready

1686
01:35:54,200 --> 01:35:59,880
Speaker 4: to go pro style offense with hardball at Stanford, and

1687
01:36:00,240 --> 01:36:05,680
Speaker 4: so teams and coaches started to say, oh, okay, well, huh,

1688
01:36:05,800 --> 01:36:09,519
Speaker 4: let us do this. Lamar Jackson comes in, all right,

1689
01:36:09,600 --> 01:36:12,280
Speaker 4: well we have to. And I think if Michael Vick,

1690
01:36:13,000 --> 01:36:15,880
Speaker 4: if he would have had that level of attention, as

1691
01:36:15,960 --> 01:36:18,080
Speaker 4: dynamic as he was, if he would have had that

1692
01:36:18,200 --> 01:36:22,240
Speaker 4: level of attention and willingness to change to his strengths,

1693
01:36:22,360 --> 01:36:24,920
Speaker 4: he would have been He wouldn't have been under He

1694
01:36:24,920 --> 01:36:28,600
Speaker 4: would been unstoppable, literally unstoppable. I was with him his

1695
01:36:28,720 --> 01:36:33,800
Speaker 4: rookie year and him trying to understand he would just

1696
01:36:33,840 --> 01:36:36,320
Speaker 4: take off and go. He would just take off and go.

1697
01:36:36,880 --> 01:36:41,679
Speaker 4: Could you imagine an offensive design around his abilities? Because

1698
01:36:41,720 --> 01:36:46,040
Speaker 4: he was the fastest person on any field he ever

1699
01:36:46,080 --> 01:36:50,720
Speaker 4: played on. And so I thought, I think that's what

1700
01:36:50,760 --> 01:36:54,759
Speaker 4: we're seeing now. That's why offensively teams are being able

1701
01:36:54,840 --> 01:36:59,480
Speaker 4: to score like their scoring. Sorry for the long winded soliloquy.

1702
01:36:59,520 --> 01:37:02,080
Speaker 3: There there were like eight touchdowns while you were talking.

1703
01:37:02,240 --> 01:37:05,879
Speaker 3: It was action to just one. It was DeAndre Swift

1704
01:37:06,120 --> 01:37:09,840
Speaker 3: and the Bears do make good on that opening drive

1705
01:37:09,880 --> 01:37:12,639
Speaker 3: of the second half. Swift goes in from two yards

1706
01:37:12,680 --> 01:37:16,280
Speaker 3: out and we are once again tied. So here come

1707
01:37:16,360 --> 01:37:19,439
Speaker 3: the Niners. It's twenty eight, twenty eight. We'll keep you

1708
01:37:19,520 --> 01:37:21,760
Speaker 3: up to date on that. Plus I'd like to play

1709
01:37:21,800 --> 01:37:24,439
Speaker 3: a little game coming up next of why aren't they better?

1710
01:37:25,240 --> 01:37:28,840
Speaker 3: And there's two teams mainly that I want to bring

1711
01:37:28,920 --> 01:37:31,240
Speaker 3: up with e from Salam. I'm Mark Willard. This is

01:37:54,439 --> 01:37:58,360
Speaker 3: We're in the Fox Sports Radio studios. We're watching the

1720
01:37:58,400 --> 01:38:01,680
Speaker 3: Bears and Niners go up and down the field on

1721
01:38:01,680 --> 01:38:05,400
Speaker 3: one another. It's a twenty eight all tie and the

1722
01:38:05,439 --> 01:38:07,559
Speaker 3: forty nine Ers opening drive of the second half has

1723
01:38:07,600 --> 01:38:10,880
Speaker 3: been fruitful as well, moving quickly into the high red zone.

1724
01:38:11,320 --> 01:38:16,839
Speaker 3: Keep you up to date, third quarter action two teams.

1725
01:38:16,920 --> 01:38:20,360
Speaker 3: Let's start with what happened last night? Why aren't the

1726
01:38:20,400 --> 01:38:29,360
Speaker 3: Packers better? I don't know, man, is Micah Parsons that good?

1727
01:38:30,320 --> 01:38:32,599
Speaker 4: I think he was part of the energy uh huh.

1728
01:38:33,439 --> 01:38:38,600
Speaker 4: I think he was part of once you lose, and

1729
01:38:38,720 --> 01:38:40,760
Speaker 4: I know he was new there, but he has such

1730
01:38:40,800 --> 01:38:45,840
Speaker 4: a presence. Once you lose that presence is hard to

1731
01:38:45,840 --> 01:38:51,840
Speaker 4: rebound from that. And not having you know, Jordan Love

1732
01:38:51,960 --> 01:38:56,519
Speaker 4: being out like it just it they should be better

1733
01:38:56,600 --> 01:39:00,320
Speaker 4: like we And I've been saying this all year. I

1734
01:39:00,400 --> 01:39:05,040
Speaker 4: wasn't convinced everybody had Jordan Love as you know, beginning

1735
01:39:05,040 --> 01:39:08,519
Speaker 4: of the season as the you know, odds on to

1736
01:39:08,560 --> 01:39:14,120
Speaker 4: win the MVP. He's an elite quarterback and I never

1737
01:39:14,360 --> 01:39:19,719
Speaker 4: got there with Jordan Love. Michael Parsons did a wonderful

1738
01:39:19,800 --> 01:39:25,840
Speaker 4: job sparking that off of that defense, but you know,

1739
01:39:25,960 --> 01:39:33,080
Speaker 4: in a division where you know you should be just

1740
01:39:34,120 --> 01:39:39,600
Speaker 4: steamrolling it, it never quite turned the corner. So the

1741
01:39:39,640 --> 01:39:43,200
Speaker 4: answer to your question is why aren't there they're better?

1742
01:39:43,520 --> 01:39:47,320
Speaker 4: Why aren't they better? It's because I think they lost

1743
01:39:47,439 --> 01:39:52,439
Speaker 4: the engine defensively that made them feel like they could

1744
01:39:52,479 --> 01:39:58,719
Speaker 4: do anything, and they just never rebounded. You know, Christian

1745
01:39:58,760 --> 01:40:01,720
Speaker 4: Watson was hurt for a while. He came back. He

1746
01:40:01,920 --> 01:40:05,519
Speaker 4: on find now the quarterback is gone. So there it's

1747
01:40:05,560 --> 01:40:07,120
Speaker 4: a little bit of Hidd and miss there.

1748
01:40:07,400 --> 01:40:10,960
Speaker 3: There are a few rosters around the league where you

1749
01:40:11,000 --> 01:40:13,040
Speaker 3: look at it and I'm like, I feel like you've

1750
01:40:13,040 --> 01:40:17,600
Speaker 3: got a lot of answers, but I don't really like

1751
01:40:17,680 --> 01:40:20,840
Speaker 3: ever buy that until you then see it and it

1752
01:40:20,960 --> 01:40:23,360
Speaker 3: looks good. And the Packers for a period of time,

1753
01:40:23,960 --> 01:40:26,000
Speaker 3: especially at the beginning of the year, they look you

1754
01:40:26,040 --> 01:40:27,880
Speaker 3: remember the wins they were going at the beginning of

1755
01:40:27,880 --> 01:40:31,479
Speaker 3: the year and the Lions and you know, opening weekend

1756
01:40:31,479 --> 01:40:34,000
Speaker 3: against the I think that was against the Commanders. That

1757
01:40:34,040 --> 01:40:36,200
Speaker 3: was week one or two when the Commanders were coming

1758
01:40:36,240 --> 01:40:38,920
Speaker 3: off of a great year, and so it just looked

1759
01:40:38,960 --> 01:40:41,920
Speaker 3: like it was all working at a really high level.

1760
01:40:41,960 --> 01:40:44,799
Speaker 2: And then somewhere along the road it just stopped.

1761
01:40:46,880 --> 01:40:49,200
Speaker 3: It just stopped, and I you know, look, okay, Jordan

1762
01:40:49,240 --> 01:40:52,040
Speaker 3: Love was out, but Malik Willis was fantastic. I mean

1763
01:40:52,080 --> 01:40:55,120
Speaker 3: to have to have a running back due to you,

1764
01:40:56,240 --> 01:41:00,479
Speaker 3: but Derrick Henry did to them last night. In in

1765
01:41:00,800 --> 01:41:03,280
Speaker 3: NFL terms, he's obviously a Hall of Fame player, but

1766
01:41:03,320 --> 01:41:07,680
Speaker 3: in NFL terms, that's It's demoralizing and kind of embarrassing

1767
01:41:08,800 --> 01:41:10,360
Speaker 3: to have wanted to have a running back.

1768
01:41:10,640 --> 01:41:10,880
Speaker 4: Right.

1769
01:41:11,560 --> 01:41:15,640
Speaker 3: That's so, where did where did that come from?

1770
01:41:15,960 --> 01:41:16,360
Speaker 4: That was?

1771
01:41:16,439 --> 01:41:19,519
Speaker 3: That was that was the defense that didn't give up

1772
01:41:19,520 --> 01:41:20,639
Speaker 3: big plays all year.

1773
01:41:20,920 --> 01:41:25,599
Speaker 4: That's who they were. So yeah, I don't, I don't know.

1774
01:41:25,840 --> 01:41:29,960
Speaker 4: I don't. I don't know what happened. Yeah that Uh,

1775
01:41:32,240 --> 01:41:33,680
Speaker 4: I mean, I guess if you give the ball to

1776
01:41:33,720 --> 01:41:38,600
Speaker 4: Derrick Henry thirty six times, good thing? I know the

1777
01:41:38,680 --> 01:41:43,559
Speaker 4: Steelers are like, uh, don't don't bring that, leave, don't

1778
01:41:43,560 --> 01:41:47,200
Speaker 4: bring that to us. Uh oh yeah, And what's the

1779
01:41:47,240 --> 01:41:50,880
Speaker 4: situation with with with Lamar? Is he playing next week?

1780
01:41:50,960 --> 01:41:54,519
Speaker 3: I would have to, right, I would think so, I

1781
01:41:54,520 --> 01:41:56,760
Speaker 3: would think so, But I mean, you know, don't know

1782
01:41:56,840 --> 01:41:59,840
Speaker 3: till you know, but I would think.

1783
01:41:59,720 --> 01:42:03,639
Speaker 4: So, that's the formula and we.

1784
01:42:03,720 --> 01:42:04,559
Speaker 2: Get Steven here.

1785
01:42:04,600 --> 01:42:07,599
Speaker 3: But like the Bucks and the Bills or the other

1786
01:42:07,680 --> 01:42:11,519
Speaker 3: teams that popped to mind. Although I mean, I think

1787
01:42:11,560 --> 01:42:14,360
Speaker 3: I gave my answer on the Bills earlier already in

1788
01:42:14,960 --> 01:42:19,559
Speaker 3: this this evening, in that I really think the Bills

1789
01:42:19,560 --> 01:42:22,160
Speaker 3: have kind of, you know, I think they've kind of

1790
01:42:22,160 --> 01:42:26,599
Speaker 3: failed Josh Allen with the with the roster they've given him.

1791
01:42:26,600 --> 01:42:28,719
Speaker 3: But Yeah, let's get let's get Steve in here because

1792
01:42:28,720 --> 01:42:30,000
Speaker 3: brock Perty's dancing again.

1793
01:42:30,120 --> 01:42:33,400
Speaker 7: Andy from discussed what the Bills have or don't have

1794
01:42:33,720 --> 01:42:35,960
Speaker 7: at white Out, by the way, and that is the

1795
01:42:36,040 --> 01:42:39,000
Speaker 7: number one rushing team in the NFL, and they almost

1796
01:42:39,040 --> 01:42:41,840
Speaker 7: didn't score a point in this game. Yeah, Philadelphia won

1797
01:42:41,920 --> 01:42:44,880
Speaker 7: thirteen twelve at Buffalo. Bills missed a two point pass

1798
01:42:44,920 --> 01:42:47,439
Speaker 7: at the end. The other late afternoon game, Giants won

1799
01:42:47,479 --> 01:42:49,839
Speaker 7: at Las Vegas thirty four to ten, so the Raiders

1800
01:42:49,840 --> 01:42:52,719
Speaker 7: could get the number one overall draft choice. You mentioned

1801
01:42:52,720 --> 01:42:55,479
Speaker 7: the name Derrick Henry, so can we just say again

1802
01:42:56,400 --> 01:42:58,880
Speaker 7: that when he was a high schooler in Florida, oh

1803
01:42:58,920 --> 01:43:01,920
Speaker 7: my goodness, he ran almost two thousand and five hundred

1804
01:43:01,960 --> 01:43:06,519
Speaker 7: yards as a freshman, and then the next year almost

1805
01:43:06,560 --> 01:43:10,720
Speaker 7: two thousand eight hundred yards, and then two thousand six

1806
01:43:10,840 --> 01:43:16,320
Speaker 7: hundred yards, and as a senior four thousand yards rushing

1807
01:43:16,479 --> 01:43:20,719
Speaker 7: in one high school season. He had one game where

1808
01:43:20,720 --> 01:43:26,200
Speaker 7: he ran for five hundred and ten yards. It's just

1809
01:43:26,479 --> 01:43:28,799
Speaker 7: you could go, you could go for an hour looking

1810
01:43:28,800 --> 01:43:32,320
Speaker 7: through Derrick Henry's by the way, he's top ten NFL

1811
01:43:32,439 --> 01:43:35,320
Speaker 7: rushing as of last night too. By the way, Yeah,

1812
01:43:35,439 --> 01:43:38,840
Speaker 7: brock party with a short touchdown pass to Kyle Yuchik,

1813
01:43:38,960 --> 01:43:40,320
Speaker 7: and the Niners are back on.

1814
01:43:40,360 --> 01:43:43,959
Speaker 3: Tough not really doing it justice there Steve short touchdown

1815
01:43:44,040 --> 01:43:48,080
Speaker 3: pass uh that uh, I believe for a while sounded.

1816
01:43:47,800 --> 01:43:48,160
Speaker 4: Like this.

1817
01:43:54,560 --> 01:43:56,799
Speaker 2: Now short touchdown pass, but go ahead.

1818
01:43:57,120 --> 01:44:01,040
Speaker 7: So it's thirty five twenty eights nine are in the lead.

1819
01:44:01,200 --> 01:44:03,880
Speaker 7: Before this, only about five minutes ago on the clock,

1820
01:44:03,960 --> 01:44:06,639
Speaker 7: the Bears had tied it with DeAndre Swift's two yard

1821
01:44:06,680 --> 01:44:10,160
Speaker 7: touchdown run. He is now a thousand yard rusher this season,

1822
01:44:10,200 --> 01:44:12,160
Speaker 7: first time the Bears have had a running back at

1823
01:44:12,200 --> 01:44:15,839
Speaker 7: one thousand yards rushing since David Montgomery in twenty twenty.

1824
01:44:16,240 --> 01:44:19,200
Speaker 7: Niners lead thirty five twenty eight under five minutes to

1825
01:44:19,240 --> 01:44:22,280
Speaker 7: go in the third quarter. San Francisco's already won five

1826
01:44:22,320 --> 01:44:25,120
Speaker 7: in a row. Each team is eleven and four. The

1827
01:44:25,120 --> 01:44:27,519
Speaker 7: Bears are the two seed in the NFC right now

1828
01:44:27,560 --> 01:44:31,360
Speaker 7: after last weekend's comeback against Green Bay. The Niners will

1829
01:44:31,400 --> 01:44:33,360
Speaker 7: be the one seed if they win these last two

1830
01:44:33,439 --> 01:44:37,080
Speaker 7: games tonight and the finale against the Seahawks. Seattle has

1831
01:44:37,120 --> 01:44:39,400
Speaker 7: won six in a row after the twenty seven to

1832
01:44:39,400 --> 01:44:42,800
Speaker 7: ten win at Carolina. Some halftime notes on this Bay

1833
01:44:42,840 --> 01:44:47,559
Speaker 7: Area game from Associated Press there was almost no offense

1834
01:44:47,600 --> 01:44:50,000
Speaker 7: from the Bears, and yet they were tied late in

1835
01:44:50,040 --> 01:44:52,640
Speaker 7: the first half. They got a pick six a defensive

1836
01:44:52,680 --> 01:44:55,960
Speaker 7: touchdown on the first offensive play of the night. Three

1837
01:44:56,000 --> 01:44:58,760
Speaker 7: of their plays totaled up about ninety yards, but for

1838
01:44:58,800 --> 01:45:02,200
Speaker 7: the rest of the first half they had sixty five yards. Still,

1839
01:45:02,280 --> 01:45:04,880
Speaker 7: it was a close game and remained so, but the

1840
01:45:04,960 --> 01:45:08,040
Speaker 7: Niners had four touchdowns on offense in a first half

1841
01:45:08,040 --> 01:45:10,880
Speaker 7: for the first time since brock Perty's first career start

1842
01:45:10,960 --> 01:45:14,600
Speaker 7: three years ago. Christian McCaffrey first half one hundred and

1843
01:45:14,680 --> 01:45:17,479
Speaker 7: forty one yards from scrimmage, his most ever in a

1844
01:45:17,600 --> 01:45:20,720
Speaker 7: first half, and in Bear's history, there had only been

1845
01:45:20,760 --> 01:45:23,800
Speaker 7: one other game where they'd scored at least twenty one

1846
01:45:23,880 --> 01:45:26,280
Speaker 7: in a first half but allowed at least twenty eight

1847
01:45:27,000 --> 01:45:29,000
Speaker 7: in a first half, and that came in the bears

1848
01:45:29,080 --> 01:45:33,479
Speaker 7: nineteen sixty eight opener, a game where Brian Piccolow had

1849
01:45:33,479 --> 01:45:37,240
Speaker 7: a touchdown run. So when we and kind of called

1850
01:45:37,280 --> 01:45:39,519
Speaker 7: what this game was going to be early here tonight,

1851
01:45:39,600 --> 01:45:43,560

1852
01:45:43,600 --> 01:45:48,040
Speaker 7: little unusual for these two teams, I should say. Earlier

1885
01:47:34,439 --> 01:47:34,920
Speaker 4: Stop it.

1886
01:47:35,680 --> 01:47:38,320
Speaker 7: They should have stopped it. One twenty to thirty Eight's

1887

01:47:46,960 --> 01:47:51,320

1891
01:47:54,600 --> 01:47:55,320
Speaker 7: runs back to you.

1892
01:47:56,439 --> 01:47:59,639
Speaker 3: Yeah, I just tweeted out. Tough night for the game.

1893
01:47:59,680 --> 01:48:04,920
Speaker 3: Manage your people, because what brock Perty just did would

1894
01:48:04,960 --> 01:48:09,360
Speaker 3: have made Mahomes or Allan blush on a roll out

1895
01:48:09,400 --> 01:48:11,680
Speaker 3: to the left and then the dance and shoes and

1896
01:48:11,720 --> 01:48:14,760
Speaker 3: makes two linemen miss and then off schedule, throws the

1897
01:48:14,800 --> 01:48:16,439
Speaker 3: ball to Kyle ust Check in the corner of the

1898
01:48:16,520 --> 01:48:20,599
Speaker 3: end zone. Touchdown, forty nine ers. Let's see if somebody

1899
01:48:20,600 --> 01:48:22,960
Speaker 3: can get a stop though or else. This is just

1900
01:48:23,000 --> 01:48:24,280
Speaker 3: going to keep going on and on.

1901
01:48:24,479 --> 01:48:27,519
Speaker 7: They have punted one San Francisco first time this month.

1902
01:48:27,720 --> 01:48:30,800
Speaker 3: That's right, one punt in the month of December for

1903
01:48:30,880 --> 01:48:32,600
Speaker 3: the forty nine ers. I believe the Bears have a

1904
01:48:32,640 --> 01:48:36,040
Speaker 3: punt tonight as well, so they have actually used the punters.

1905
01:48:36,240 --> 01:48:39,400
Speaker 2: I want to ask you guys this, if the Niners.

1906
01:48:38,920 --> 01:48:43,120
Speaker 3: Do win this game, in your mind, what is the

1907
01:48:43,160 --> 01:48:48,600
Speaker 3: top billing game next week? Niners, Seahawks, Panthers, Bucks, Pittsburgh

1908
01:48:48,680 --> 01:48:50,920
Speaker 3: is draw, Pittsburgh and Baltimore.

1909
01:48:52,479 --> 01:48:55,680
Speaker 4: I think it's the For me, I get Pittsburgh as

1910
01:48:55,680 --> 01:48:59,520
Speaker 4: a draw, But for me, I think it's the Niners Seahawks.

1911
01:49:00,200 --> 01:49:00,840
Speaker 2: Huh.

1912
01:49:00,880 --> 01:49:05,120
Speaker 3: Like, I'd probably vote Steelers Ravens simply because it's like.

1913
01:49:05,240 --> 01:49:06,160
Speaker 2: The losers out.

1914
01:49:06,439 --> 01:49:09,800
Speaker 3: Yeah, the Niner Seahawks gets the top seed, but the.

1915
01:49:09,680 --> 01:49:12,599
Speaker 4: Losers in Yeah, but what comes with the top seed?

1916
01:49:12,760 --> 01:49:16,280
Speaker 4: Like it's yeah, like that's the magic.

1917
01:49:16,240 --> 01:49:18,200
Speaker 7: And they would have each won six in a row.

1918
01:49:18,520 --> 01:49:21,439
Speaker 4: Yeah, next week, this is that's the magic. It's like,

1919
01:49:21,479 --> 01:49:24,200
Speaker 4: oh yeah, it's too goli of sitting at the top

1920
01:49:24,200 --> 01:49:25,960
Speaker 4: of the heels. Somebody's gonna get kicked in the teeth.

1921
01:49:26,000 --> 01:49:28,120
Speaker 7: But Mark's right about winner take all. I think they

1922
01:49:28,160 --> 01:49:31,320
Speaker 7: picked Tennessee one year for the final Sunday Night game

1923
01:49:31,479 --> 01:49:32,599
Speaker 7: for that exact reason.

1924
01:49:32,680 --> 01:49:33,920
Speaker 4: Yeah, that's true.

1925
01:49:34,600 --> 01:49:37,640
Speaker 3: I mean, that's just that's kind of my prediction in

1926
01:49:37,760 --> 01:49:43,759
Speaker 3: terms of what they will do is Pittsburgh and Baltimore. Steve,

1927
01:49:43,840 --> 01:49:50,599
Speaker 3: You're right Pittsburgh. Yeah, yeah, yeah. So like I mean,

1928
01:49:50,760 --> 01:49:55,679
Speaker 3: Pittsburgh fan base, Niner fan base, what have you. Who's

1929
01:49:55,720 --> 01:49:58,240
Speaker 3: gonna score more? The Pittsburgh Baltimore games tend to be

1930
01:49:58,280 --> 01:49:59,360
Speaker 3: seventeen to fourteen.

1931
01:49:59,479 --> 01:50:03,400
Speaker 7: Pittsburgh has any enormous amount of primetime appearances in the

1932
01:50:03,439 --> 01:50:06,560
Speaker 7: Mike Tomlin Air specifically, but just as a franchise.

1933
01:50:06,200 --> 01:50:07,240
Speaker 4: No doubt, no doubt.

1934
01:50:07,400 --> 01:50:10,679
Speaker 3: So I wonder, I wonder, But obviously we still got

1935
01:50:10,680 --> 01:50:14,639
Speaker 3: to uh the Niners. The Niners have plenty of work

1936
01:50:14,680 --> 01:50:17,719
Speaker 3: to do before U before that's the reality. And Steve,

1937
01:50:17,760 --> 01:50:20,080
Speaker 3: you said, we'll find out here in a matter of

1938
01:50:20,520 --> 01:50:22,679
Speaker 3: just a couple hours, right, they'll release.

1939
01:50:22,920 --> 01:50:25,880
Speaker 7: They should because it's got to be I think, at

1940
01:50:25,880 --> 01:50:29,680
Speaker 7: the at the max, six days until they are confirming

1941
01:50:29,760 --> 01:50:33,000
Speaker 7: everything with teams. So usually Sunday Night football kind of

1942
01:50:33,000 --> 01:50:35,800
Speaker 7: like the playoff schedule next Sunday night, they like to

1943
01:50:35,920 --> 01:50:38,240
Speaker 7: before they go off the air and they'll have something

1944
01:50:38,280 --> 01:50:40,679
Speaker 7: to promote for them for their game next Sunday night.

1945
01:50:40,840 --> 01:50:43,479
Speaker 3: And do we like do we upset? Did I hear

1946
01:50:43,520 --> 01:50:45,160
Speaker 3: today that there's a Saturday window?

1947
01:50:46,000 --> 01:50:47,320
Speaker 7: I can't imagine there would be.

1948
01:50:47,520 --> 01:50:50,080
Speaker 3: I see, I wouldn't either, because I because that would

1949
01:50:50,080 --> 01:50:53,760
Speaker 3: be unfair, right unless they stuck teams there that aren't

1950
01:50:53,800 --> 01:50:55,320
Speaker 3: in the playoffs, right.

1951
01:50:56,520 --> 01:50:59,720
Speaker 7: But which is more than half the matchups next week?

1952
01:50:59,840 --> 01:51:03,639
Speaker 4: Yeah, you got plenty of those.

1953
01:51:03,760 --> 01:51:05,160
Speaker 7: Chiefs Raiders next weekend.

1954
01:51:05,280 --> 01:51:10,040
Speaker 4: Let's that would be the Duke against the Raiders.

1955
01:51:10,120 --> 01:51:10,519
Speaker 2: I'm in.

1956
01:51:11,240 --> 01:51:15,040
Speaker 3: That's exciting, Okay, all right, So that's where we're at,

1957
01:51:15,120 --> 01:51:17,960
Speaker 3: and Steve's not wrong. The Bears were moving and now

1958
01:51:17,960 --> 01:51:21,400
Speaker 3: they're super duper moving all the way into forty nine

1959
01:51:21,479 --> 01:51:24,160
Speaker 3: ers territory. A third and short as we move into

1960
01:51:24,200 --> 01:51:26,599
Speaker 3: the final two minutes of the third quarter forty nine

1961
01:51:26,680 --> 01:51:28,680
Speaker 3: Ers thirty five Bears twenty eight.

1962
01:51:28,720 --> 01:51:29,720
Speaker 4: Will keep you up to date.

1963
01:51:29,800 --> 01:51:32,000
Speaker 3: Someone will probably have scored at least once by the

1964
01:51:32,000 --> 01:51:35,280
Speaker 3: time we get back. But that is what's coming up

1965
01:51:35,280 --> 01:51:38,360
Speaker 3: here in the Fox Sports Radio studios. Some final thoughts

1966
01:51:38,360 --> 01:51:41,880
Speaker 3: eight from Salam Mark Willard, Fox Sports Radio. Wow, I

1967
01:51:42,000 --> 01:51:45,720
Speaker 3: wasn't lying. I said when we come back, someone will

1968
01:51:45,720 --> 01:51:51,679
Speaker 3: have scored. His name is DeAndre Swift. Thirty five, thirty five.

1969
01:51:51,800 --> 01:51:58,000
Speaker 3: Good lord, there's a whole quarter left to play. We're

1970
01:51:58,000 --> 01:52:00,840
Speaker 3: live in the Fox Sports Radio studios. Mark Willard, Eve

1971
01:52:00,920 --> 01:52:04,639
Speaker 3: from Salam, you called it, Well, it's not that hard

1972
01:52:04,640 --> 01:52:08,439
Speaker 3: to call. I mean, you know, these offenses are just

1973
01:52:08,600 --> 01:52:14,439
Speaker 3: absolutely in total control. There was a dramatic moment in

1974
01:52:14,479 --> 01:52:19,240
Speaker 3: this drive where I think Ben Johnson accurately reflected what's

1975
01:52:19,280 --> 01:52:22,519
Speaker 3: going on in this game in that it was fourth

1976
01:52:22,520 --> 01:52:26,200
Speaker 3: and five from the thirty yard line and he's like,

1977
01:52:26,360 --> 01:52:30,280
Speaker 3: we're going for it because I think what we're doing

1978
01:52:30,360 --> 01:52:32,479
Speaker 3: right now is the first person to settle for a

1979
01:52:32,520 --> 01:52:33,519
Speaker 3: field goal loses.

1980
01:52:34,040 --> 01:52:34,960
Speaker 4: That's what it feels like.

1981
01:52:35,240 --> 01:52:37,840
Speaker 3: And so he's like, I'm not doing that, and he

1982
01:52:37,920 --> 01:52:39,439
Speaker 3: went for it, and they got it and a couple

1983
01:52:39,479 --> 01:52:41,040
Speaker 3: of plays later, they're in the end zone in this

1984
01:52:41,120 --> 01:52:43,920
Speaker 3: game is tied, so fourteen fifty two to go.

1985
01:52:44,760 --> 01:52:46,240
Speaker 2: Niners eure up.

1986
01:52:47,600 --> 01:52:50,360
Speaker 3: And they haven't started playing winners outs yet, but they

1987
01:52:50,439 --> 01:52:53,000
Speaker 3: might if this game gets to overtime.

1988
01:52:53,080 --> 01:52:54,880

Speaker 3: looking at these two teams and this is a ton

1999
01:53:19,360 --> 01:53:23,160
Speaker 3: of fun and it's impressive, and the quarterback play is

2000
01:53:23,240 --> 01:53:26,519
Speaker 3: really good and this is it's exciting. But it's like,

2001
01:53:27,880 --> 01:53:30,559
Speaker 3: so wait, one of the for these teams to do

2002
01:53:30,680 --> 01:53:35,000
Speaker 3: well in January, Like one of these defenses is gonna

2003
01:53:35,000 --> 01:53:36,599
Speaker 3: go against Matt Stafford and win.

2004
01:53:38,000 --> 01:53:39,559
Speaker 2: Is Is that what you're telling me?

2005
01:53:39,680 --> 01:53:44,439
Speaker 4: Oh, I'll say this, okay, I would say the forty

2006
01:53:44,520 --> 01:53:51,479
Speaker 4: nine ers and the McVeigh Shanahan. Sure rivalry lends to

2007
01:53:51,760 --> 01:53:56,759
Speaker 4: a better game I would say than the Bears in Rams.

2008
01:53:57,240 --> 01:53:58,680
Speaker 2: Yeah, you're probably right on that.

2009
01:53:58,920 --> 01:54:02,400
Speaker 4: Yeah, they know each other way too well. That's you know,

2010
01:54:03,600 --> 01:54:06,920
Speaker 4: that's one of those you got to play against your cousin.

2011
01:54:07,800 --> 01:54:11,040
Speaker 2: Sure. Sure, And they split their games this year.

2012
01:54:12,040 --> 01:54:14,760
Speaker 3: But the last time again, the first time they played them,

2013
01:54:15,200 --> 01:54:20,519
Speaker 3: the Niners were not as injured as they were the

2014
01:54:20,560 --> 01:54:23,080
Speaker 3: second time they played him. The second time they played them,

2015
01:54:23,640 --> 01:54:26,800
Speaker 3: Matt Stafford never got touched and the Rams scored over

2016
01:54:26,840 --> 01:54:27,519
Speaker 3: forty points.

2017
01:54:28,880 --> 01:54:32,840
Speaker 4: So yeah, it's gonna come down to it. I just look,

2018
01:54:33,760 --> 01:54:37,920
Speaker 4: coming off the game before this one to twelve to

2019
01:54:38,000 --> 01:54:43,960
Speaker 4: thirteen point game, the fans are you know, they're enjoying

2020
01:54:43,960 --> 01:54:44,440
Speaker 4: this one?

2021
01:54:44,680 --> 01:54:47,760
Speaker 3: Sure? Sure, and you got I mean like it's all

2022
01:54:47,880 --> 01:54:50,520
Speaker 3: lent to it, right. It's offenses that are better than

2023
01:54:50,520 --> 01:54:53,920
Speaker 3: the defenses. The weather's perfect in Santa Clara right now,

2024
01:54:54,320 --> 01:54:58,280
Speaker 3: so there's none of them, you know, there's no wintery mix.

2025
01:55:01,040 --> 01:55:04,360
Speaker 3: But uh, but I I do think you know, and

2026
01:55:04,400 --> 01:55:06,840
Speaker 3: I can't speak for Bears fans, I know that the

2027
01:55:07,360 --> 01:55:11,160
Speaker 3: Niner fan base all year long has taken each win

2028
01:55:11,440 --> 01:55:14,560
Speaker 3: with a little bit of a sheepish grin because it's

2029
01:55:14,600 --> 01:55:17,480
Speaker 3: kind of like, this is fun, but I don't really

2030
01:55:17,560 --> 01:55:23,720
Speaker 3: believe fully that this is gonna work come January. But

2031
01:55:24,160 --> 01:55:27,120
Speaker 3: because you, like you even said it, defense wins championship.

2032
01:55:27,240 --> 01:55:30,400
Speaker 4: That's been the sentiment for the Niners the whole year,

2033
01:55:30,520 --> 01:55:33,800
Speaker 4: even by the fans. They're waiting for the other shoot

2034
01:55:33,840 --> 01:55:38,280
Speaker 4: to drop and here we are playing for the number

2035
01:55:38,400 --> 01:55:45,000
Speaker 4: one seed. Yeah, so wow, I mean, yeah, what what what? What?

2036
01:55:45,280 --> 01:55:47,200
Speaker 4: What are people expecting.

2037
01:55:48,240 --> 01:55:52,640
Speaker 3: The shooter who I don't know, somebody speaking of somebody

2038
01:55:52,680 --> 01:55:55,000
Speaker 3: to drop a ball like I I don't know, Like

2039
01:55:55,080 --> 01:55:58,240
Speaker 3: this is just honestly, we're playing Madden right now.

2040
01:55:59,720 --> 01:56:03,560
Speaker 4: It's fun, it's fun entertaining. They should have.

2041
01:56:03,520 --> 01:56:06,960
Speaker 3: Actually Ben Johnson and Kyle Shanahan should have come out

2042
01:56:06,960 --> 01:56:09,440
Speaker 3: in the second half and actually been holding those little

2043
01:56:09,600 --> 01:56:13,920
Speaker 3: Xbox controllers just to just to just to clown miss thing.

2044
01:56:14,000 --> 01:56:18,720
Speaker 3: I mean, Robert Sala has done a wonderful job with

2045
01:56:18,840 --> 01:56:20,920
Speaker 3: the forty nine ers this year, but this has gotten

2046
01:56:21,760 --> 01:56:24,080
Speaker 3: this has gotten a little a little ridiculous.

2047
01:56:25,040 --> 01:56:27,080
Speaker 2: Philip Rivers was going up and down on the field.

2048
01:56:27,240 --> 01:56:33,840
Speaker 3: He's got a grand kid, and what does this is

2049
01:56:33,840 --> 01:56:34,400
Speaker 3: gonna work?

2050
01:56:34,680 --> 01:56:34,760
Speaker 5: You?

2051
01:56:34,960 --> 01:56:38,720
Speaker 4: Just like I hope Philip comes back, uh for the

2052
01:56:38,760 --> 01:56:41,320
Speaker 4: beginning the next year, you do, I do?

2053
01:56:41,800 --> 01:56:43,960
Speaker 2: So he gets yet another year of health insurance.

2054
01:56:44,520 --> 01:56:49,320
Speaker 4: Health insurance, man, I get it, I get it. Big deal.

2055
01:56:50,040 --> 01:56:50,200
Speaker 5: Uh.

2056
01:56:50,240 --> 01:56:52,080
Speaker 3: They were at the end of that game today, they

2057
01:56:52,120 --> 01:56:55,360
Speaker 3: were talking as he had his last couple of throws.

2058
01:56:55,360 --> 01:56:59,240
Speaker 3: They're kind of like this, this this is probably the

2059
01:56:59,320 --> 01:57:01,520
Speaker 3: last throws of Philip Rivers' career.

2060
01:57:01,840 --> 01:57:05,800
Speaker 4: Probably I got a game next week, don't they?

2061
01:57:06,120 --> 01:57:11,440
Speaker 3: Yeah, But the thought with the Colts officially eliminated now,

2062
01:57:12,520 --> 01:57:17,080
Speaker 3: the thought was that maybe they'd give that one to uh,

2063
01:57:17,280 --> 01:57:21,360
Speaker 3: to Ritey Letard. No, I'm just telling you what they

2064
01:57:21,400 --> 01:57:25,680
Speaker 3: were saying during the game broadcast to be ridiculous, you know, like,

2065
01:57:25,880 --> 01:57:28,240
Speaker 3: might as well take take a look at him, see

2066
01:57:28,360 --> 01:57:32,400
Speaker 3: see see what he looks like, go into info gathering mode.

2067
01:57:32,400 --> 01:57:34,560
Speaker 2: I'm pretty sure Philip Rivers is not the QB of

2068
01:57:34,560 --> 01:57:35,480
Speaker 2: the future.

2069
01:57:36,920 --> 01:57:43,560
Speaker 4: Right That ain't fourth and fourth down, they're not even

2070
01:57:43,560 --> 01:57:46,520
Speaker 4: infield goal range. What do you want to do?

2071
01:57:46,760 --> 01:57:48,480
Speaker 2: But you're in Chicago territory?

2072
01:57:49,800 --> 01:57:50,640
Speaker 4: What do you do?

2073
01:57:50,800 --> 01:57:56,600
Speaker 3: Hotshot? Not like there's anything on the line. Might as

2074
01:57:56,640 --> 01:57:59,640
Speaker 3: well go for it? Do you think they will?

2075
01:58:00,120 --> 01:58:03,960
Speaker 4: They gonna pin them deep? What if that mean?

2076
01:58:04,040 --> 01:58:06,760
Speaker 3: It takes an extra thirty seconds for them to score

2077
01:58:06,760 --> 01:58:07,400
Speaker 3: a touchdown.

2078
01:58:08,080 --> 01:58:09,960
Speaker 2: Yeah, indeed, the punter is on the field.

2079
01:58:10,040 --> 01:58:12,960
Speaker 3: As we told you earlier, forty nine ers one of

2080
01:58:13,000 --> 01:58:19,040
Speaker 3: the go for the least teams in the NFL. And

2081
01:58:18,880 --> 01:58:20,640
Speaker 3: uh and they will not go for it on fourth

2082
01:58:20,640 --> 01:58:21,600
Speaker 3: and seven.

2083
01:58:22,040 --> 01:58:24,400
Speaker 4: Put them on the one yard ten year line.

2084
01:58:26,240 --> 01:58:29,320
Speaker 3: Yep, exactly, all right, so eleven twenty three to go

2085
01:58:29,520 --> 01:58:33,320
Speaker 3: plenty plenty of time. But this is kind of where

2086
01:58:33,320 --> 01:58:36,000
Speaker 3: my mind goes going back to the scenarios that you

2087
01:58:36,040 --> 01:58:39,200
Speaker 3: were talking about off the top. This is kind of

2088
01:58:39,240 --> 01:58:43,480
Speaker 3: where that that opening play pick six, This is where

2089
01:58:43,480 --> 01:58:48,160
Speaker 3: it comes into play. Yes, you know, Niner offense has

2090
01:58:48,200 --> 01:58:51,720
Speaker 3: outplayed the Bears off game since then. But now you're

2091
01:58:51,960 --> 01:58:55,400
Speaker 3: now you just flipped it. Now, now the Bears get

2092
01:58:55,400 --> 01:58:59,080
Speaker 3: to be the team that that has a chance to

2093
01:58:59,160 --> 01:58:59,839
Speaker 3: lead the way.

2094
01:59:00,040 --> 01:59:06,640
Speaker 4: Absolutely, Yeah, that that is going to loom large, very large.

2095
01:59:08,520 --> 01:59:10,520
Speaker 2: Happy New Year, dude, This is our last show of

2096
01:59:11,280 --> 01:59:12,240

Speaker 4: We did it, man, made it to another one, but

2098
01:59:14,200 --> 01:59:14,760
Speaker 4: another one.

2099
01:59:15,040 --> 01:59:20,000
Speaker 3: You're a resolution guy, Yeah, you know I have hope

2100
01:59:20,000 --> 01:59:20,760
