Speaker 1: is time for another instant reaction. Wow wow Wow. The
Speaker 1: Detroit Lions outplay the Packers and beat Green Bay at
Speaker 1: Lambeau with nothing to play for, nothing to play for
Speaker 1: the minute, Seattle beat the Rams. Seasons over for Detroit
Speaker 1: the game. Let's talk Lions first, because I have a
Speaker 1: lot to say on green Bay. So you know, the
Speaker 1: first two and a half three quarters felt like a
Speaker 1: Lions game. Touchdown called back because of a penalty, crucial
Speaker 1: interception called back because of a penalty. Detroit's had all
Speaker 1: sorts of talent through the years, Stafford, Calvin Johnson, Barry
Speaker 1: Sanders to name a few offensive players. They have a
Speaker 1: way of beating themselves in this game. Their personnel and
Speaker 1: green Bay's personnel offensively. Seriously, I would take the Lions now. Defensively,
Speaker 1: i'd take green Bay. But this was not a mismatch.
Speaker 1: You're talking about a Lions team offensively that's drafted extraordinarily well.
Speaker 1: And I thought, what really jumped out? And I've said
Speaker 1: this before. There's not a lot of great in any business.
Speaker 1: The NFL has got about sixth grade owners, sixth Greade coaches,
Speaker 1: sixth great quarterbacks, and at any one time, six great coordinators.
Speaker 1: Ben Johnson, the Lions coordinator, is a top six coordinator
Speaker 1: in this league. The final two drives by Detroit were
Speaker 1: beautiful power, perimeter deception screens. How about the trick play
Speaker 1: that picks up the big first down. What a time
Speaker 1: to call that. Ben Johnson's fantastic, and you know, you
Speaker 1: wonder if he gets a job about seven openings a year,
Speaker 1: Harbaugh could get one. Sean Payton will probably get one
Speaker 1: if he wants one. Ben Johnson's probably especially with the
Speaker 1: league now pivoting to offense, Ben Johnson, offensive coordinator, Lions
Speaker 1: gonna get a head coaching opportunity. I would guess those
Speaker 1: final two drives, that's the ball game. Green Bay's defense,
Speaker 1: and there's a lot of good players on that defense.
Speaker 1: We're guessing. I'm watching that thing. I'm like, man, he's
Speaker 1: deceptive and smart and screens and power down the field.
Speaker 1: You got everything, different personnel, multiple looks. It's like, wow,
Speaker 1: that is a great, great coordinator, and there's not you
Speaker 1: know Wink Martindale defensive coordinator for the Giants, hell of
Speaker 1: a year, Kyle Shanahan for years, offensive coordinator around the league.
Speaker 1: It's just you can see it jump off the TV screen.
Speaker 1: So this game felt like your typical lion's loss where
Speaker 1: they've got good players, they make big plays, but you know,
Speaker 1: pour on details and they kick a win to the curb. Nope,
Speaker 1: they were the better coach team down the stretch, and
Speaker 1: Ben Johnson is going to make somebody probably very happy.
Speaker 1: Jared Goff may give up salary to keep him. All right,
Speaker 1: let's talk green Bay. You know, I said this Friday
Speaker 1: on F one. If Green Bay loses, and I didn't
Speaker 1: think they would, But if Green Bay loses or they
Speaker 1: got into the playoffs and got rolled, don't you have
Speaker 1: a meeting upstairs about Aaron Rodgers. Folks, you can miss
Speaker 1: the playoffs with Jordan Love and you don't get drama,
Speaker 1: and you get somebody that's around in the off season,
Speaker 1: and you get somebody that embraces all the young teammates.
Speaker 1: This roster and green Bay is very good. Let's think ahead.
Speaker 1: But the two things they absolutely need offensively another wide receiver.
Speaker 1: Many mock drafts are speculating they'll get USC's Jordan Addison
Speaker 1: and they need another tight end, a rookie receiver and
Speaker 1: a rookie tight end. Will Aaron be around in the
Speaker 1: off season or on an on one of his renaissance
Speaker 1: seeking journeys, because they're gonna bring in another receiver and
Speaker 1: another tight end, and they're gonna be rookies. And Christian
Speaker 1: Watson eventually developed into a stud for the Packers, but
Speaker 1: in September October he and Robio Dobbs were lost. Would
Speaker 1: they have been if Aaron stuck around? If Aaron's not
Speaker 1: doing Aaron's thing, I'm sorry, but there's no excuse for
Speaker 1: the Packers offense being as inept as it was in
Speaker 1: September and October and early November, because it was mostly
Speaker 1: and there's some limitations on it. They need more perimeter weapons.
Speaker 1: But why did it get good in December? Because you
Speaker 1: bring rookies in, this is a complicated league. Aaron can
Speaker 1: be prickly. Matt Lafleur's, you know, probably a reasonably complex
Speaker 1: offense can't pick it up in three months. So Green
Speaker 1: Bay is gonna do this again. They're gonna go get
Speaker 1: They're gonna go get pieces for the quarterback. Jordan Love
Speaker 1: will be an OPTAs. Jordan Love will be there in preseason.
Speaker 1: Jordan Love will fly the guys out and have private
Speaker 1: throwing sessions. If I'm Green Bay, I can miss the
Speaker 1: playoffs with Jordan Love. This roster is a good roster.
Speaker 1: This is not a rebuild Orge Love. In this division,
Speaker 1: we don't know how good the Bears are, right The
Speaker 1: Vikings always kind of feel like there's a ceiling with
Speaker 1: Kirk Cousins. Detroit's good kind of but miss the playoffs
Speaker 1: and Ben Johnson, their brilliant offensive coordinator, could leave. So
Speaker 1: I just look at the whole Aron thing. Aaron is
Speaker 1: so busy, you know, manifesting his destiny. This team is
Speaker 1: once again going to go out and get young skill
Speaker 1: people in the draft. Is Aaron going to be there?
Speaker 1: And remember Green Bay's got all of its picks. It
Speaker 1: would probably get two firsts or a first in two
Speaker 1: seconds if they moved Daron. So you get more pieces,
Speaker 1: and Green Bay historically has drafted pretty well. They're a
Speaker 1: top third team in the league in drafting. Get two
Speaker 1: first not just one, two first two thirds, maybe a
Speaker 1: second next year. Give Jordan Loved more to work with now.
Speaker 1: People always talk about Aaron salary and the deadcat money,
Speaker 1: but because you're not paying Jordan love anything, it s
Speaker 1: the financial burden. And this roster, Green Bay has never
Speaker 1: been a big free agent destination anyway, And this roster
Speaker 1: doesn't have a lot of immediate needs. They could use
Speaker 1: another edge rusher. But the corners are good, safeties are fine.
Speaker 1: The line strong, O line strong. They have two good backs.
Speaker 1: Aaron Jones, he's a great player, so not a lot
Speaker 1: of needs. Receiver tied end. Who's going to be there
Speaker 1: in the offseason to work with him? Jordan Lovewood. I'll
Speaker 1: go back to it again. The Tennessee Titans feel like
Speaker 1: the destination for me. But you know it's funny about
Speaker 1: Aaron is I was watching the Shawn Watson and you
Speaker 1: know he took a couple of years off and he
Speaker 1: comes back into the AFC. He's not close to Alan,
Speaker 1: He's not close to Mahomes, He's not close to Herbert,
Speaker 1: He's not close to Burrow. This AFC, Trevor Lawrence has
Speaker 1: gotten so good at quarterback. Aaron Rodgers, Folks, he's like
Speaker 1: the hotel that hasn't kept up. You ever go to
Speaker 1: a hotel there's a hotel chain, and then you know,
Speaker 1: over the court some time they get new owners or
Speaker 1: new management, you go back to it and it's more
Speaker 1: about the reputation than it is reality. You know, we've
Speaker 1: all done that before, the restaurants or hotels, and you know,
Speaker 1: they just don't keep up. Aaron doesn't keep up in
Speaker 1: the offseason like Joe Burrow and Herbert and Mahomes and Alan.
Speaker 1: Aaron's more prickly. He's less coachable. You know, I look
Speaker 1: at Aaron Rodgers right now. I'm in no way insinuating
Speaker 1: he holds green Bay back. But this is a really
Speaker 1: good roster with an offensive coach, good old line, need
Speaker 1: a couple more weapons. I think you have to have
Speaker 1: a meeting if you're green Bay. They have been walking
Speaker 1: on eggshells for four years with Aaron the passive, aggressive nonsense.
Speaker 1: At some point you moved up in the first round
Speaker 1: for Jordan Love. Rip the band aid off, Rip it off.
Speaker 1: I think Tennessee is the location. I think I think
Speaker 1: the Raiders would have to look at it, but you know,
Speaker 1: you could just we can keep making excuses for Aaron Rodgers,
Speaker 1: but a lot of this is on him. He's not
Speaker 1: keeping up. He is not as committed as others. He's
Speaker 1: no longer in his prime. He's going to be thirty nine,
Speaker 1: he's super expensive. He won't be around in the offseason.
Speaker 1: I think you have to have that meeting upstairs. Where
Speaker 1: to go Lions. Hell of a win, all right, I
Speaker 1: want to talk about this. So a lot of people
Speaker 1: ripped the Houston Texans because the Chicago Bears now have
Speaker 1: the number one pick because the Texans beat the Colts. Right,
Speaker 1: this is not a tanking league. That's the league with
Speaker 1: an orange basketball that's round. They tank. You don't tank
Speaker 1: in football. You can't tell guys to take You get
Speaker 1: hurt if you tank. So the Chicago Bears now have
Speaker 1: the number one pick. They're going to have great leverage.
Speaker 1: They have their quarterback, and they need to rebuild a lot,
Speaker 1: mostly their offense, which is a perpetual issue. So the
Speaker 1: Bears is Ryan Poles. They'll trade out of the number
Speaker 1: one spot potentially and get another number two pick, number
Speaker 1: three pick. Who knows what they'll get. Maybe they'll get
Speaker 1: another first round pick. But I just do not trust
Speaker 1: this organization to build or rebuild an offense. The last
Speaker 1: time they had an elite offense was nine years ago
Speaker 1: in twenty thirteen. Remember the J Cutler offense. Matt Forte,
Speaker 1: Martelli Spennett, tight end, al Shan Jeffrey wide receiver. I
Speaker 1: think Brandon Marshall may have been a receiver on that team.
Speaker 1: I could be wrong. That was a top two three
Speaker 1: scoring team in the NFL. That was a really good offense.
Speaker 1: But I mean you could go online and look up
Speaker 1: ten best Bears offenses of all time. I mean half
Speaker 1: will be in the fifties. This is an organization that
Speaker 1: can't get offense right. Last year is a great example.
Speaker 1: They bring in a new GM and a coach. They
Speaker 1: hire a defensive coach. First two picks cornerback, safety, both excellent.
Speaker 1: Third picks a receiver borderline bust Vilas Jones. They could
Speaker 1: have called me. I watched them at USC. He couldn't
Speaker 1: track the ball in the air. You know, he's a
Speaker 1: gadget player with good speed. He's not a go to receiver.
Speaker 1: He's not a third round pick. He's a sixth or
Speaker 1: a seventh round pick. So you got to give the
Speaker 1: Texans a break. This is not a tanking league. It's
Speaker 1: just the game's too fast, it's got too much violence,
Speaker 1: people could get hurt. You got to play full speed.
Speaker 1: Your head's on a swivel. You're You're not going out
Speaker 1: there and half ass in it. That's just not football.
Speaker 1: And to be honest with you, I thought it was
Speaker 1: cool the way the Texans played. It's one of the
Speaker 1: reasons I love the NFL. Guys play hurt, Guys play
Speaker 1: with passion. GEYSA was play hard. I mean the Detroit
Speaker 1: Lions that I'd had nothing to play for the Houston
Speaker 1: Texans could have lost. Doesn't that really? Isn't that why
Speaker 1: we love professional football in America? Isn't that why every
Speaker 1: game matters? That's why the sport is so much more
Speaker 1: popular than every other professional league in America. There is
Speaker 1: no load management nonsense. I don't trust the Bears to
Speaker 1: rebuild the offense. I don't. I've said this before. Outside
Speaker 1: of Trevor Lawrence Andrew Luck, maybe John Elway, most quarterbacks
Speaker 1: are as good as their support system. I mean, look
Speaker 1: at Mac Jones how he regrets this year. Why the
Speaker 1: Patriots they don't have enough skill players. They need to
Speaker 1: upgrade their whole line. They used to defensive coordinator Matt
Speaker 1: Patricia as an offensive coordinator unless you're Trevor Lawrence or
Speaker 1: Andrew Luck or you know, maybe maybe Mahomes. I mean,
Speaker 1: even Josh Allen, as good as he is, has regressed
Speaker 1: a little bit situationally since Brian Dable left. Like coaching,
Speaker 1: coaching matters, support systems matter, and I don't trust the
Speaker 1: Bears offensively. They've built a lot of great defenses, but
Speaker 1: you know, there's just certain organizations that get offense right,
Speaker 1: and the Bears do defense well. But they are in
Speaker 1: the catbird seat. It is a great opportunity for them.
Speaker 1: All right, let's talk cowboys embarrassing performance against the Commanders. Listen.
Speaker 1: As I've said a million times, I never get disappointed
Speaker 1: with the Cowboys because I've always kind of classified them
Speaker 1: as pretty good. I think they're pretty good. Dak is
Speaker 1: kirk Cousins with a better PR team. His career passer
Speaker 1: rating is ninety eight. He's an mostly accurate thrower of
Speaker 1: the football with certain limitations and arm strength, and is
Speaker 1: intangibles are better than his tangibles. I thought the interesting comment, though,
Speaker 1: was really smart. NBC's Jason Garrett I thought this was
Speaker 1: really interesting. He said, watch the Cowboys defense because I
Speaker 1: don't want to pick on dac all night, Dak is
Speaker 1: what he is. I've been saying this for years. You know,
Speaker 1: he's a B plus quarterback and there's a dozen in
Speaker 1: the league. Jason Garrett said on NBC. He said, this
Speaker 1: defense relies on speed, and when they play on grass
Speaker 1: against Green Bay at Lambeau against the Commanders, they're not
Speaker 1: as fast this defense. When they play on that in
Speaker 1: that Cowboys stadiu where they play on the fast turf inside,
Speaker 1: they are a track team. But you watch him at Lambeau,
Speaker 1: you watch them against the Commanders. I thought Jason Garrett
Speaker 1: nailed it, and he knows this personnel. They're just not
Speaker 1: the same defense. So you know, I look at the Cowboys,
Speaker 1: I'm not sure they're that much more talented than the Commanders.
Speaker 1: The Commanders just can't get quarterback right. I think that
Speaker 1: the Cowboys, I've said this for months. I think they
Speaker 1: have some really special individual players. I don't think they
Speaker 1: have that many special units. I don't think their secondary
Speaker 1: is great. I think Zeke doesn't have the poppy used to.
Speaker 1: I think they're a wide receiver shy. I think their
Speaker 1: offensive line is sometimes feels like it's a little bit patchwork.
Speaker 1: It's Okay, defensive line is inconsistent. They have great individual players.
Speaker 1: Tell me the unit is great. They don't rank. They're
Speaker 1: not nearly as talented offensively as Cincinnati or San Francisco.
Speaker 1: They're not as good defensively as Philadelphia or San Francisco,
Speaker 1: or as talented as Buffalo. Defensively. I think they're pretty good,
Speaker 1: and pretty good teams usually get into the playoffs and
Speaker 1: when one game or are eliminated, and I feel, once
Speaker 1: again that's what we'll see. Was I surprised the Cowboys
Speaker 1: laid a complete egg? You know, the NFL has extended
Speaker 1: this season, It's longer than ever. I've seen half a
Speaker 1: dozen games this year. I mean Minnesota getting destroyed by
Speaker 1: both the Cowboys in Green Bay, I'm surprised. I thought
Speaker 1: the Raiders effort against the Chiefs this weekend was pathetic.
Speaker 1: They didn't look prepared offensively. I thought the Packers tonight
Speaker 1: were a little flat. To be honest with you, I
Speaker 1: think Dallas. Dallas feels like a team Cape Bowl of
Speaker 1: winning a single playoff game, and that's about it. If
Speaker 1: you start holistically looking at where the playoffs are increasingly,
Speaker 1: I'm gonna go look this morning when I get to
Speaker 1: Fox Sports. But I think I called six of the
Speaker 1: seven AFC playoff teams and five of the seven NFC
Speaker 1: playoff teams. I did not see the Seahawks getting in.
Speaker 1: I did not see the Jaguars getting in. I thought
Speaker 1: the Rams would be better. I thought the Broncos would
Speaker 1: be better. But in most instances, if you look around
Speaker 1: at the teams that got into the playoffs, including Miami
Speaker 1: who limped in, but they got in because they were
Speaker 1: very strong early offensively with Tua and the cast, if
Speaker 1: you look around this league, it's becoming fairly predictable. It
Speaker 1: has become more and more quarterback centric. Das a B
Speaker 1: plus quarterback, you gotta have a B plus and up
Speaker 1: at quarterback, you're going to generally find your way into
Speaker 1: the postseason. So were instant Reaction the lead story that
Speaker 1: circled back Detroit with a really clever final two offensive
Speaker 1: drives with brilliant coordinator Ben Johnson gets themselves a double you.
Speaker 1: The Packers missed the playoffs in large part Aaron Rodgers
Speaker 1: wouldn't put in the time in the offseason. It took
Speaker 1: them until well passed Thanksgiving to get their act together offensively,
Speaker 1: and they got out played tonight. That was a fun game,
Speaker 1: wasn't it? That was fun? There was a lot at
Speaker 1: stake the NFL's last regular season game. I mean, this
Speaker 1: is why, this is why it's in its own galaxy.
Speaker 1: A playoff spot was determined on the final drive of
Speaker 1: the NFL regular season. Can't ask for more. I'm lucky
Speaker 1: to do what I do, all right, that's the night's
Speaker 1: instant reaction. The volume football seasons underway now is the
