Speaker 1: Check it down, man, and I'm just told the story
Speaker 1: the allays.
Speaker 2: It's one of those idiots will believe in analytics. This
Speaker 2: is a numbers game with Gil, Alexander and Gone vis in.
Speaker 1: Good Monday morning to you.
Speaker 3: It is a numbers game at Visa these sports betting network,
Speaker 3: Visa dot Com, Game plus, iHeartRadio, YouTube TV and of
Speaker 3: course Serious XM Channel one eight. It's Skill Alexander Kelly
Speaker 3: bibling alongside. This is a numbers game at Visa, these
Speaker 3: sports betting network on a glorious Monday here at Circa
Speaker 3: Resort Casino, downtown Las Vegas.
Speaker 1: Good morning to you, sir. Oh good weekend. Did you
Speaker 1: enjoy the weekend?
Speaker 4: Go?
Speaker 1: Did I?
Speaker 3: By the way, uh, there is a national Championship of
Speaker 3: college football tonight. Let's say that off the top. Tim
Speaker 3: Murray will be here to discuss, as will Wes Reynolds
Speaker 3: a little later on the show. If you are new
Speaker 3: to this, if you're listening to series x M one
Speaker 3: fifty eight for the first time and like, hey, what's.
Speaker 1: This all about us?
Speaker 3: We usually do something on Mondays called guessing lines. During
Speaker 3: the regular season, I am in a cocoon. I guess
Speaker 3: the lines of the upcoming week's NFL games, Kelly tells
Speaker 3: me what they are, and within that exercise we try
Speaker 3: to extract some value. We don't do that in the
Speaker 3: playoffs as much, but I'll tell you what the guesses were.
Speaker 3: I don't think there's going to be much difference here,
Speaker 3: if any, heading into this week. But what we do
Speaker 3: in the process is we recap everything that happened in
Speaker 3: the past weekend. And as a lifelong Washington fan, oh
Speaker 3: is this a weekend? Can I just start off a
Speaker 3: show with a couple of tweets? I don't usually start
Speaker 3: off with shirts, but I just wanted to give a
Speaker 3: couple from this morning plus underscore money. Can't believe I'm
Speaker 3: about to stomach this episode of a numbers game. Bobby
Speaker 3: Getty's getting prepped for the most highed episode of a
Speaker 3: numbers game since the mid nineties. Let's go you remember
Speaker 3: that episode. Here we go. Let's start with the chronological order.
Speaker 3: Let's go guessing lines Championship.
Speaker 5: Round right, this week of guessing lives, I mean, we're
Speaker 5: not even.
Speaker 1: I don't think we extend this to this supers.
Speaker 3: Now the Sun Belt Cousins Championship Guessing Line show.
Speaker 1: No, No, that we're not doing that.
Speaker 6: It's kind of funny because some of these things Gil
Speaker 6: and I have just gotten used to it. We don't
Speaker 6: even really fully discussed.
Speaker 1: But I was like that one. I actually don't remember
Speaker 1: how far we take this. All right, NFC Championship game.
Speaker 6: We've got the Commanders at the Eagles.
Speaker 1: This is three ish Eastern time on Sunday.
Speaker 4: Let me.
Speaker 1: Just turn up that music a little bit. Guy, you
Speaker 1: know the words kelly. Oh yeah, all right, hold, I
Speaker 1: want to second. I want to wait for fight. Okay,
Speaker 1: now we'll bust.
Speaker 3: So here's here's what happens on Saturday. Washington goes into Detroit.
Speaker 3: Detroit is a big favorite in this ball game. And uh,
Speaker 3: even those of us who love the Washington football team,
Speaker 3: I said, you know, I was on the positive side
Speaker 3: where I was like, well, listen, I don't think they're
Speaker 3: gonna get blow out. I said, I think they'll comport themselves. Well,
Speaker 3: I think they probably lose a close football game, maybe
Speaker 3: one score game, maybe by a touchdown. There's none of
Speaker 3: us who thought and I said, all year, look there,
Speaker 3: they'll get to the playoffs. They win one game at most. Now,
Speaker 3: the one thing I did do is bet that money line,
Speaker 3: which Rufus and Fezik recommended on Friday. So that worked
Speaker 3: out Washington forty five Detroit thirty one, the widest margin
Speaker 3: of any of the games this weekend. Let us begin
Speaker 3: Washington first time with the ball after Detroit three and out,
Speaker 3: third and fourteen, Jayden a crowder for thirteen and a
Speaker 3: half while we watched an AT and T commercial on
Speaker 3: half the screen. Do you remember that play where the
Speaker 3: broadcast was still showing the AT and T commercial, Like,
Speaker 3: what are we doing? Let's get better? Fourth and one
Speaker 3: of the Detroit twenty eight in motion, Mariota goes under center.
Speaker 3: It looks like he wanted to pitch it back to Jayden,
Speaker 3: but he's wrapped up by al Kadeen Muhammad for a
Speaker 3: one yard loss. Brian Robinson looked like he was trying
Speaker 3: to push Mariota didn't know it was a pitch play,
Speaker 3: and Washington fails to convert the fourth and as a
Speaker 3: Washington fan or Washington backer, you're probably like, oh, so
Speaker 3: this is the game where it doesn't work out.
Speaker 1: Here's the game for it all comes back?
Speaker 3: Not so fast, my friend. Detroit, though, does take the ball,
Speaker 3: then six play seventy one yards gives in from one,
Speaker 3: it's seven and nothing Detroit.
Speaker 1: Halfway through the first quarter. You're like, okay, here we go.
Speaker 3: Gonzalez's a forty seven yard field goal to kind of
Speaker 3: to seven to three. Then Detroit first of all, before
Speaker 3: we even get Detroit's next possession. Then Fox decides to
Speaker 3: lean into the Brady conflict of interest with Kevin Burkhart.
Speaker 3: Did you catch this where they asked point blank Brady
Speaker 3: to evaluate Ben Johnson and Aaron Glenn right there on
Speaker 3: the spot as a two shot in the broadcast because
Speaker 3: I was like, Oh, that's how Fox is.
Speaker 1: Taking on sort of a conflict of interest. Yeah, that
Speaker 1: sounds like how things should be done.
Speaker 3: Okay, So here's the first thing that happens that goes
Speaker 3: wrong for Detroit. Lions matriculate third and one at the
Speaker 3: Washington seventeen. Dorn's Armstrong hits golf fumbles recovered by Frankie Lovo,
Speaker 3: and the Skins dodge a bullet. Washington then goes eleven
Speaker 3: play seventy eight yards five minutes, fourth and three at
Speaker 3: the Detroit nine. In that drive, by the way, this
Speaker 3: time back to the old fourth down no problem to
Speaker 3: Ertz for seven Three plays later, a PI and the
Speaker 3: end zone on mcclor in. Two plays after that, Robinson
Speaker 3: in from two ten to seven DC Skins ten fifty
Speaker 3: five left in the second quarter. On the play, though,
Speaker 3: Sam Cosmy tears as acl, which we later found out
Speaker 3: not good. Moving forward for Washington against Philly, Detroit then
Speaker 3: goes seven play seventy yards Goff to Laporter from two out.
Speaker 3: What an amazing one handed diving catch left handed, fourteen
Speaker 3: to ten Lions, seven forty four left in the second quarter.
Speaker 3: By the way, this point the game, the Lions had
Speaker 3: nine point zero yards per play.
Speaker 1: Is that good?
Speaker 3: But then Washington does Washington things. Three play seventy yards
Speaker 3: Jaden to the incomparable Terry McLaurin for fifty eight mostly
Speaker 3: yak seventeen to fourteen. Washington was six twenty three left
Speaker 3: in the second quarter. Or as Tom Brady described it
Speaker 3: on the TELECASTE No.
Speaker 2: I want you to see it's a numbers game.
Speaker 3: That's how he described it on the telecast. What he
Speaker 3: meant was Brian Branch came on the blitz. Washington ended
Speaker 3: up with three receivers on the left side against only
Speaker 3: two defenders bo Zicaus and Dimmi Brown. Make their blocks
Speaker 3: and McLaurin shoots through the hole and then out runs
Speaker 3: the defenders to the house.
Speaker 6: God bless our whole audience. This is the one game
Speaker 6: I was out for. It didn't so I wasn't hearing
Speaker 6: Gil and.
Speaker 1: Just the phone. Uh buzz buzz buz buz buzz visited.
Speaker 3: The copperbal terrymccoy seventeen fourteen Skins six twenty three left
Speaker 3: in the second quarter. By the way, Chrisy andrews my
Speaker 3: mich Boochka texts me at this point and he says,
Speaker 3: how are you feeling right now? I go, I'm hyperventilating.
Speaker 3: He goes, Relax, Relax, He goes, there's a long way
Speaker 3: to go.
Speaker 1: Right. Does he text me that? Right? Does he text
Speaker 1: me that?
Speaker 3: Second play for Detroit second and fourteen at their own
Speaker 3: eighteen golf airmails and ten receiver Kwan Martin pick forty
Speaker 3: yards of the hissy. Frankie Luvu, by the way, lights
Speaker 3: up golf on the return touchdown twenty.
Speaker 1: Four to fourteen.
Speaker 3: Washington I sent back a text to Christy, I'm like
Speaker 3: you sure it's not over yet? Five twenty five second quartern.
Speaker 3: He sends back Holy Shnikey's, but he didn't say Shnikeys.
Speaker 3: Five twenty five left in the second quarter. It's twenty
Speaker 3: four to fourteen Washington. And yes, that was an illegal
Speaker 3: play by Louvu Jared Goff. Do you think he was
Speaker 3: affected by that the rest of the game.
Speaker 1: Who knows.
Speaker 3: Detroit now with Bridgewater intemporarily, they're like, well, watch what
Speaker 3: we could do. Third play reverse to Jameson Williams sixty
Speaker 3: one yards to the house, twenty four to twenty one,
Speaker 3: Washington four to oh one left in the second quarter.
Speaker 3: Washington now thinking about a double dip. They score, but
Speaker 3: it's too easy. Fourth played Jaydon to Diami for thirty
Speaker 3: eight where his eyes are covered. He still catches it.
Speaker 3: Double dip unlikely now because they're scoring so quickly. Three
Speaker 3: plays later, third and goald Jayden to Ertz from five out,
Speaker 3: touchdown thirty one to twenty one, Washington one forty six
Speaker 3: left the second quarter. Golf back in Lions matriculate first
Speaker 3: ten at the Washington twenty nine before the end of
Speaker 3: the half. Golf picked in the end zone by Mike
Speaker 3: Sandristill rookie Mike Sanders still out of Michigan and Washington
Speaker 3: goes to the locker room, up ten three twelve to
Speaker 3: three oh nine in total yards of ever Washington at
Speaker 3: the half, but LUs three in turnovers, which led to
Speaker 3: fourteen Washington points. You might even you might even suggest
Speaker 3: that it was more than that, because Detroit was matriculating
Speaker 3: on one of theirs. By the way, if you went
Speaker 3: under ten and a half points in the first quarter,
Speaker 3: you cashed. And then the highest scoring quarter in the
Speaker 3: history of the NFL postseason followed forty two points, the
Speaker 3: first six hundred yard first half since the first half
Speaker 3: of the Eagles Patriots Super Bowl Super Bowl fifty two WOW.
Speaker 3: Second half after a Washington punt, Detroit punts, but Dante
Speaker 3: Fowler ruled to have tugged on David Montgomery's face mask,
Speaker 3: he did not extends the drive, eventually pitched Montgomery shovel
Speaker 3: to Saint Brown for twenty two plays later gibs in
Speaker 3: for eight thirty one to twenty eight. Washington was six
Speaker 3: fifty seven left in the third quarter, and at this point,
Speaker 3: if you're a Washington fan or a Washington backer, you're like,
Speaker 3: I cannot believe they're gonna lose on that face mask,
Speaker 3: on that phantom face mask. Kevin Burkhart points out, though
Speaker 3: now it's even right the Frankie Louvu hit on golf
Speaker 3: and then the phantom face mass, so we're even on that,
Speaker 3: all right. Thirty one twenty eight is the score Washington,
Speaker 3: though at this point fifteen plays, seventy yards, eight minutes
Speaker 3: and twenty eight seconds. They always respond, and you know
Speaker 3: what they always do, fourth and two at the Detroit
Speaker 3: sixteen Jaden for three, then four plays later, fourth and
Speaker 3: two at the four, Brady shouting from on the in
Speaker 3: the broadcast.
Speaker 1: Booth for the Lions to call time out. They don't.
Speaker 3: Twelve men on the field, automatic first and goal at
Speaker 3: the two. Two plays later Robinson from one thirty eight
Speaker 3: to twenty eight. Washington with thirteen twenty nine left, Detroit
Speaker 3: first intet their own forty six. Detroit gets cute again.
Speaker 3: This time though they pitch it go to Saint Brown.
Speaker 3: He pitches it to Jamison Williams. You can tell watching
Speaker 3: it live, no one's open. He still throws it picked
Speaker 3: by Sandra still again, and this is when you're like.
Speaker 1: Oh my god, we win in this thing. Twelve oh
Speaker 1: four left.
Speaker 6: Every time you want to love one of those plays,
Speaker 6: Gil It's always the wide.
Speaker 1: Receiver pass option. They're gonna throw it eighty time, eat
Speaker 1: it or throw it out of bounds.
Speaker 3: Man first play Washington Eckler for thirty five to start.
Speaker 3: Then another fourth and two with the Detroit thirteen after
Speaker 3: Jayden threw it behind McLaurin on third down, this time
Speaker 3: eleven to the incomparable Terry McLaurin. First and goal at
Speaker 3: the one McNichols in forty five twenty eight. Halfway through
Speaker 3: the fourth quarter of the Skids are up seventeen. Detroit
Speaker 3: huddling up down seventeen. Baits field goal forty five to
Speaker 3: thirty one with five minutes left, and then the lines
Speaker 3: due declare the allsot kick, but Ertz recovers third and
Speaker 3: five at their own forty five. Detroit down to two timeouts,
Speaker 3: Jaden to John Baits for twenty. Detroit uses their second
Speaker 3: and third. After the next two plays third and six
Speaker 3: of the Detroit thirty one. With three thirteen left, fourth
Speaker 3: and one by the way for Washington, they decide, okay, well,
Speaker 3: let's just go up three scores again. Let's give Gazalez
Speaker 3: the forty four yard field goal wide left with two
Speaker 3: twenty six left. Remember it's a fourteen point game, but
Speaker 3: you know how it ends. Detroit matriculates and eventually third
Speaker 3: and tent the Washington seventeen golf picked by Jeremy Chin
Speaker 3: ballgame and the Washington Commodores. I call them that beat
Speaker 3: the Detroit Lions, the number one seed forty five I
Speaker 3: thirty one in a game. And this was the theme
Speaker 3: of the weekend, where the losing team out gained the
Speaker 3: winning team, in this case five twenty one to four
Speaker 3: eighty one. Wow, over one thousand yards of offense. But
Speaker 3: the Lions were minus five and turnovers, which led directly
Speaker 3: to twenty one, a plus twenty one margin for Washington.
Speaker 3: What do we say about the NBA? If you can
Speaker 3: just show us the box score of the three point statistics,
Speaker 3: I can pretty much tell you who won and lost
Speaker 3: every NBA game ninety percent of the time. In the NFL,
Speaker 3: what's that column, the turnover column? Minus five and turnovers.
Speaker 3: I don't care if you're the Detroit Lions, You're not
Speaker 3: beating the magic Man, Jayden Daniels and the Washington Commanders.
Speaker 3: Congratulations to the Skins. Congratulations to the fan base that
Speaker 3: for a quarter of a century was held hostage. By
Speaker 3: a horrible human being. We'll get into more of this

Speaker 3: I hope the voice last for two out. Sorry everybody,
Speaker 3: just for allowing me that segment.
Speaker 1: I appreciate it. You'll had a wild Saturday night. So
Speaker 1: let me just say this. By the way, I'm exhausted.
Speaker 6: Five football truck has run over me and I love it.
Speaker 6: I was dead sleep I think forty five minutes after
Speaker 6: that game last night.
Speaker 3: I was exhausted. Well, because then there's tennis late night.
Speaker 3: By the way, the tennis pick coming up on the
Speaker 3: show later too, for the Australian Open. Let's just go
Speaker 3: back to this game, Washington Detroit, Washington forty five points,
Speaker 3: most ever for a Washington road postseason game. Detroit the
Speaker 3: first in history to lose a playoff game. With three
Speaker 3: hundred passing yards and two hundred rushing yards, Jayden Daniels
Speaker 3: first rookie quarterback in NFL history to have three hundred
Speaker 3: total yards and two postseason games. He becomes the sixth
Speaker 3: ever rookie quarterback to make a championship game. The other
Speaker 3: five Sean King in nineteen ninety nine, Ben Roethelsberger two
Speaker 3: thousand and four, Joe Flacco two thousand and eight with
Speaker 3: the Ravens, Mark Sanchez two thousand and nine with the Jettisons,
Speaker 3: and then brock Purty a couple of years ago with
Speaker 3: the Niners. You know what the differences. These are the
Speaker 3: defensive ranks for all of those previous five Rookie Conference
Speaker 3: quarterbacks in the case of Sean King and the Bucks
Speaker 3: in ninety nine, third in the case of Big Ben
Speaker 3: and the Steelers in two thousand and four. First, these
Speaker 3: are the defensive rankings in the case of Joe Flacco
Speaker 3: and the Ravens in two thousand and eight, third, the
Speaker 3: Sanchiz and the Jets in two thousand and nine, third,
Speaker 3: and brock Purty two years ago. First, Jayden Daniels and
Speaker 3: the Washington Taco Holders eighteenth.
Speaker 6: I mean, it's the that listsual is usually the perfect
Speaker 6: example of what we're talking about with the quarterbacks when
Speaker 6: you so often bring up you're in the best situation
Speaker 6: to win in the NFL if you have a Hall
Speaker 6: of Fame quarterback quarterback on a rookie deal, right, what
Speaker 6: happens so often with all those teams they're stacked around
Speaker 6: these guys.
Speaker 1: Yeah, nobody's been talking about that with Washington this year,
Speaker 1: nobody Well, I have on the megapod.
Speaker 3: Todd has been constantly saying how bad their defense is,
Speaker 3: how bad their defense, and and I keep telling them,
Speaker 3: I'm like, you have their defense all wrong. They are
Speaker 3: a solid middling defense with really good We'll get to
Speaker 3: that moment.
Speaker 6: You have the defenses and weapons around him though for
Speaker 6: pretty rothless burgers.
Speaker 3: And its not even the apples and oranges, apples and mangoes. Really,
Speaker 3: it's completely different. Washington, by the way, snaps the longest
Speaker 3: championship game drought in the NFL. It had been thirty
Speaker 3: three years. And believe me, I remember every day of
Speaker 3: those thirty three years. Since Washington has been in a
Speaker 3: championship game. Dallas Cowboys, you're now on the clock in
Speaker 3: the NFC. The only team that now has a that
Speaker 3: has you know, that has the longest drought now in
Speaker 3: the NFC.
Speaker 1: That's wild. Now moves that every team has been there
Speaker 1: since the since the Cowboys.
Speaker 3: That's right, since the Cowboys have, as Mitch Goldish says,
Speaker 3: with Washington's win, every single other NFC team has been
Speaker 3: to the NFC title game more recently than the Dallas Cowboys.
Speaker 3: By the way, the greatest Jayden Daniels stat of them
Speaker 3: all more games with no punts and no turnovers? What
Speaker 3: have I said all year? It's really tough to beat
Speaker 3: a football team when they don't punt and they don't
Speaker 3: turn the ball over. It's kind of simple football math.
Speaker 3: Jayden Daniels has more games with no punts and no
Speaker 3: turnovers than Tom Brady, Peyton Manning, Joe Montana, and Patrick
Speaker 3: Mahomes have had in their entire careers combined. Let that
Speaker 3: merit it. Of course, there's another side to this. Dan Campbell,
Speaker 3: head coach of the Detroit Lions, after the game.
Speaker 4: And you lose these games, man, just like the players,
Speaker 4: you know what they put into it. A lot of
Speaker 4: people don't know, you know what they go through. They
Speaker 4: have to get up, bodies, beat, you know, mentally, sty
Speaker 4: locked in and do those things. So long season, small fault,
Speaker 4: Small fault.
Speaker 3: Dan Campbell, Dan Campbell, uh taking it upon himself saying
Speaker 3: it's my fault. Obviously it's not only his fault. You know,
Speaker 3: there's no there's no there's no finger pointing. The Lions
Speaker 3: were great this year. Let me just ask you a
Speaker 3: couple of questions. One to football guy cries, Yeah, well
Speaker 3: that that for sure.
Speaker 1: What fan base.
Speaker 3: Let's take betting out of it for a second. What
Speaker 3: fan base is more disappointed today? The Lions are the Ravens.
Speaker 3: It's different reasons, right, and the betting reaction will be like, oh, well,
Speaker 3: the Lions were bigger favorites and the Ravens were barely
Speaker 3: a favorite.
Speaker 1: Not talking about that.
Speaker 3: I'm talking about the Ravens fan base for always getting
Speaker 3: to this level and not getting there, or the Lions
Speaker 3: for having this fifteen and two football team where they
Speaker 3: just this is the Lions have never been to a
Speaker 3: super Bowl.
Speaker 1: This is the year. This was their year. They were
Speaker 1: gonna do it.
Speaker 3: Two home games, this was what it was gonna be,
Speaker 3: and they get beat convincingly at home.
Speaker 6: Yeah, I'm gonna go with Lions probably, And I don't
Speaker 6: know that it's all that close to me, just because
Speaker 6: I think there's a sense of from a fan base
Speaker 6: perspective of I mean, you'd hate to say this. I
Speaker 6: think it's even worse, but you kind of get used
Speaker 6: to it a little bit with Baltimore, right, and this.
Speaker 1: Is Detroit, this was your year.
Speaker 6: Kind of all right, there's like kind of like you're
Speaker 6: talking about this was the year, the passing to open up.
Speaker 3: Let me extend it one further. Sorry to break you around,
Speaker 3: let me extend it one further. What number could we
Speaker 3: have gotten, Say, let's pick a week, week twelve for
Speaker 3: the entire NFC North to not win a single playoff game.
Speaker 3: And I'm talking about obviously the Lions, the Vikings, and
Speaker 3: the Packers.
Speaker 1: No one thought the Bears were gonna win one.
Speaker 3: But I'm saying of those three teams now, now, the
Speaker 3: mathematical response would be, oh, don't you just parlay the
Speaker 3: money lines against them from this week?
Speaker 1: And my response to that is.
Speaker 3: No, because then you probably thought that Green Bay would
Speaker 3: be a higher seed, Minnesota would probably be a bigger
Speaker 3: favorite in their game, right, So.
Speaker 1: It's just making the playoffs to those percentages.
Speaker 3: But it's just I mean, getting to the point. I mean,
Speaker 3: it's just incredible. The NFC North is gone year where
Speaker 3: they had three great teams or at least two great
Speaker 3: teams regular season wise, and I would I would argue
Speaker 3: two and a half great one.
Speaker 6: Yeah, me too, me too, I know, Dave Ross, Mark Dominic,
Speaker 6: we're talking about this before us too. But it's just
Speaker 6: the you know NFC North, that the NFC North in
Speaker 6: the NFC East. I mean, if you if we were
Speaker 6: sitting here preseason and said two teams from the NFC
Speaker 6: East got to the conference championship game and one of
Speaker 6: them wasn't.
Speaker 1: The Dallas Cowboys.
Speaker 6: I mean, I have a feeling we'd probably land on
Speaker 6: these two, but we'd be shocked by it.
Speaker 3: I want to say, I promise after this sevent we'll
Speaker 3: move on to the other games. But I do want
Speaker 3: to say one thing. I you know, I do this show.
Speaker 3: It's a national show every day, So I resist the
Speaker 3: urge to do DC sports talk radio every day because obviously,
Speaker 3: you know, one of the things when we got when
Speaker 3: I got to VS, I'm like, why is everybody talking
Speaker 3: about the Mountain West? Don't they know that this is
Speaker 3: a national station, right? Everybody's talking about local Vegas things.
Speaker 3: But I would give me three minutes on Washington, give
Speaker 3: me two minutes on this because what has happened here
Speaker 3: should be the blueprint, should be what every NFL team
Speaker 3: aspires to be. And I know the very simple thing
Speaker 3: as well. Yeah, but not every team could draft Jade
Speaker 3: and Daniels. Hear me out, you and I could have
Speaker 3: drafted jayde and Daniels right in fact, on this show,
Speaker 3: I was screaming for them, please draft Jayden Daniels, Please
Speaker 3: draft Jade and Daniels number two, right after we knew
Speaker 3: the Bears were taking Caleb, because if you watch college football,
Speaker 3: you know how good Jane Daniels is. Now could anybody
Speaker 3: have known just how amazing is rookie season was going
Speaker 3: to be?
Speaker 1: No, of course not.
Speaker 3: What I'm saying is Adam Peters deserves all the credit
Speaker 3: beyond just picking Jade and Daniels number two. The first thing,
Speaker 3: Kelly I want to say is how can you create
Speaker 3: team chemistry quicker than anything else? My answer would be
Speaker 3: get rid of a preview administration's number one picks if
Speaker 3: they're not performing. So just think about that. Emmanuel Forbes,
Speaker 3: who remember on this show when Washington drafted him. I
Speaker 3: made the joke New England couldn't wait for us to
Speaker 3: finish the word Forbes before they were like Christian Gonzales.
Speaker 3: The whole rationale was, oh, he makes turnovers, Mississippi State,
Speaker 3: we need turnovers. Let's let's draft Emanuel Force gone. John
Speaker 3: Dotson traded to a division rival. Who knows, maybe we'll
Speaker 3: going to play him the NFC Championship. He's an Eagle.
Speaker 3: Jamin Davis gone, he's a jet, Chase Young gone, He's
Speaker 3: a Saint. I know Montes Sweat is one of these two.
Speaker 3: Montes Sweat is a good ballplayer. But that was a
Speaker 3: financial one. But Young Davis Dotson forbes goodbye. And then
Speaker 3: the free agents he picked up right Eckler and Mariota
Speaker 3: on offense as a backup it Zachaius and Ertz on
Speaker 3: the offensive line nowt like Gredy and Biatis McNichols. The
Speaker 3: defense is filled with free agents nobody else wanted. Who
Speaker 3: are starting Wagner, Fowl or Armstrong loofu Chin. I would
Speaker 3: argue Frankie louvh is one of the great free agent
Speaker 3: pickups in the NFL this year. Nobody wanted these guys.
Speaker 3: Adam Peters, what he did here with this team is unbelievable.
Speaker 3: He also drafted well, of course, beyond Daniels, with san Rastril,
Speaker 3: with Coleman on the offensive line, Luke, McCaffrey and Newton
Speaker 3: contributors as well. The other thing he did that we
Speaker 3: don't often talk about because we're a number show, but
Speaker 3: he also drafted guys where you have a team now
Speaker 3: or not drafted guys, but also draft but also picked
Speaker 3: up his free agents and created a team of character,
Speaker 3: which is this very nebulous word. But Bobby Wagner, Austin Eckler,
Speaker 3: you just listen to these guys talk and just what
Speaker 3: an atmosphere they created in the locker room. Obviously, Terry
Speaker 3: McLaurin all holdover from the previous ad mystery. It is
Speaker 3: such an easy team to like for all of those reasons.
Speaker 3: Adam Peters, what a job he has done in Washington.
Speaker 3: We'll get to the other game's next numbers game right
Speaker 3: here at Visa.
Speaker 2: Numbers Gamework.

Speaker 3: and friends, please respect that the friendship between.
Speaker 1: Me and Gil is on a one week hiatus.
Speaker 3: Gill a rab a rabid lifelong Washington fan and me
Speaker 3: below with coach Buddy Ryan, former Eagles kicker one for
Speaker 3: one on an extra point as a non roster camp
Speaker 3: INVITEY will sum it in one week. Yes, Joe and
Speaker 3: I cannot talk. We were texting yesterday and I was like, Hey,
Speaker 3: you know, we're playing the NFC Jamich. He goes, yeah,
Speaker 3: I'm I'm apoinding the subject. We can't talk about it.
Speaker 3: This is from Game and the membrane in Game and
Speaker 3: a membrane. Congrats Gill. With the lines being so tight
Speaker 3: during the NFL Division Championship rouns, Division and Championship rowns,
Speaker 3: I'm surprised no one on the network at least brings
Speaker 3: up the option about teasing games all four ways this week.
Speaker 3: Teasing all four games all four ways would have netted
Speaker 3: you six units, by the way, that is allowed for
Speaker 3: those wondering, you are perfectly allowed to do that to
Speaker 3: tease the same game two ways if you want, it's allowed.
Speaker 3: Johnny Van usually surprises some people. Johnny Vegas, being a
Speaker 3: lifelong Browns fan, I know what it's like to be
Speaker 3: awful most of the time. Once in a while, your
Speaker 3: team shocks the world. I know how you're feeling. To Dan,
Speaker 3: it's awesome. I also bet Daniel's offensive Rookie of the
Speaker 3: year six to one preseason Go Commanders, he says, kind
Speaker 3: of crazy tuning in on SERIOUSXM and can't wait to
Speaker 3: hear this recap of the Taco Holders game. Hope we've
Speaker 3: met your expectations. Ice called gambler. I'm suggesting that if
Speaker 3: the commodes, by the way, we don't call him that anymore,
Speaker 3: go to the Super Bowl. Gil needs to tell us
Speaker 3: his sushi spots so we can all join him and
Speaker 3: pay his tab that night. Let's go, Commodes, he says,
Speaker 3: no work, Commodes. Brian Shaeffer don't care what anyone says.
Speaker 3: Barkley is the NFL MVP this year, and to be honest,
Speaker 3: Jayden Daniels not that far behind. Barkley would have beaten
Speaker 3: the record with about forty fewer carries than Dickerson. Take
Speaker 3: Barkley off the team and the Eagles of the Niners MVP.
Speaker 3: Take Barkley off the team and the Eagles are the
Speaker 3: Niners MVP. Sure, what do you mean the Niners MVP.
Speaker 3: I don't get that last part. Jamie Buckolt, those that
Speaker 3: had Gil being insufferable at even money on a numbers
Speaker 3: game this morning, cash happy.
Speaker 1: For you, Gil, thank you, thank you very much.
Speaker 3: And Frankie Vegas Frank from Buffalo walk over t shirts,
Speaker 3: Happy for you on your washing and win. Love to
Speaker 3: see a rematch of nineteen ninety two Super Bowl. I
Speaker 3: was there too. I'm rooting for the Commanders next week.
Speaker 3: Hope you'll root for my Bills. Let's make it happen.
Speaker 3: Enjoy listening every day. Thank you, Frankie and Shooter mcgambling.
Speaker 1: Gil.
Speaker 3: Should Barkley have went down instead of scoring on that
Speaker 3: long run. I was watching the game with ramsbackers, and
Speaker 3: I thought in the moment that it was a good
Speaker 3: thing for them that he scored. There was about four
Speaker 3: to forty left. What do you think the optimal play was?
Speaker 3: I did not have a problem with him scoring at
Speaker 3: that time. I really didn't I didn't even think about it.
Speaker 3: I did not have it, and finally New York me
Speaker 3: s sixteen.
Speaker 1: Gil.
Speaker 3: This is why a numbers game is the best. Recapping
Speaker 3: your beloved Skins. You are still down the middle, acknowledging
Speaker 3: lou vuzi legal hit and agreeing with Kevin Burkhart that
Speaker 3: after the phantom face mask, it's kind of even now.
Speaker 3: Great job as always about those Eagles, because Washington's reward is, oh,
Speaker 3: you get to play the Eagles for a third time
Speaker 3: and head to Philly. Oh boy, Eagles take down the
Speaker 3: Los Angeles Rams, who for me again were the sneaky
Speaker 3: freaky brothers sneaking in from the rear. I thought the
Speaker 3: Rams were the team that scared me. By the way,
Speaker 3: I just want to say. The whole broadcast began with
Speaker 3: them saying the winner plays Washington, to which I'm at
Speaker 3: home going what world is this I'm living in? The
Speaker 3: winner does play Washington, don't they? Philly sixth place, seventy
Speaker 3: four yards and three ozh five to start it out,
Speaker 3: hurts in from forty four and you're like, oh, here
Speaker 3: we go. Eagles route is on. Elliott misses the extra
Speaker 3: point wide left. They have an extra point problem. They
Speaker 3: have a shaky kicking situation six to nothing Philly. Then
Speaker 3: the Rams first third down, Higbee clearly makes a catch
Speaker 3: for a first. The officials rule it incomplete. Higbe oddly
Speaker 3: doesn't argue much, if at all. It's overturned. What a
Speaker 3: colossal waste of time that was. Leads to a fourth
Speaker 3: in inches at the Philadelphia ten kyroen for fourth three
Speaker 3: plays later, third and gold to four to a Higbee
Speaker 3: touchdown seven to six Rams six thirty two left in
Speaker 3: the first quarter. A little later on Philly with the ball,
Speaker 3: two uh drives later three plays eighty three yards one
Speaker 3: to thirty four. Saquan in from sixty two one to
Speaker 3: Ozho seven left in the first quarter, and the snow begins.
Speaker 3: Kelly thirteen to seven Eagles. The snow begins, snow coming
Speaker 3: down harder now. A little later in the game here
Speaker 3: it's thirteen to ten. Philly starts with five eighteen left
Speaker 3: in the second quarter, up three. They get out of
Speaker 3: a third and fourteen jail from their own five with
Speaker 3: a past the Saquon for sixteen, but driving for a
Speaker 3: first half cover up three. It's about four points is
Speaker 3: the first half line, second and one at the Rams
Speaker 3: thirty seven, Hurts goes deep to Brown in his lap,
Speaker 3: he bobbles it, only corrals it out of bounds incomplete,
Speaker 3: and then after Philly does get the first down, second
Speaker 3: and eight at the Rams thirty two, with thirty seconds
Speaker 3: left in the half, Hurt sacked by Olmar Spates, fumbles
Speaker 3: recovered by Gainwell, but back at the Rams forty seven.
Speaker 3: That play ends with twenty one seconds left in the
Speaker 3: second quarter. Philly has one time out and Sirianni doesn't
Speaker 3: use it. Mike Turrico quote Syriana, Sirianni just says, hold
Speaker 3: right here. Don't know if he's gonna take a timeout
Speaker 3: for one last shot at the end zone or let
Speaker 3: it run down. Unquote. No one really understood what Sirianni
Speaker 3: was doing there. He doesn't call it till three seconds
Speaker 3: are left, and then Verse sacks Hurts to end it anyway,
Speaker 3: so Eagles up three at the half.
Speaker 1: I mean, I think he just he just didn't want
Speaker 1: anything else bad to happen like happened.
Speaker 3: He was the clock was moving, he was indecisive, He
Speaker 3: didn't know what the proper thing was to do, and
Speaker 3: he opted for the court. I think he knows he
Speaker 3: got kind of lucky with gainwell even recovering that ball, Yeah,
Speaker 3: he sure did. A couple drives are a few drives
Speaker 3: into the second half. It's thirteen to ten Rams, third
Speaker 3: and fourth there on thirty two to Cup for thirty,
Speaker 3: then Kyroen for thirty, but fumble on the exchange to Kyra.
Speaker 3: Next play, Rams have to settle for Cardi thirty four
Speaker 3: yardfield Well, we are to thirteen halfway through the third quarter.
Speaker 3: Philly then settles for an Elliott forty four yard field
Speaker 3: goal after Hurts was sacked by Jayalen McCullough on second
Speaker 3: down and his knee was wrenched sixteen thirteen Philly, And
Speaker 3: now the worry is for Jalen Hurts. Philly next time
Speaker 3: they get the ball backed up at their own four
Speaker 3: after four yard game by Saquon Hurts sacked for a
Speaker 3: safety by Neville Gallimore and Thomas sixteen fifteen Eagles, closing
Speaker 3: seconds of the third quarter. Hurts look somewhat impaired. Now
Speaker 3: the Rams snow everywhere. Now ball slick and fourth quarter
Speaker 3: Rams matriculating first play, fourth quarter Kyroen hit by Jalen
Speaker 3: Carter fumbles. This was the play of the game. Isaiah
Speaker 3: Rodgers recovers returns at forty yards. Philly set up at
Speaker 3: the ten Saquon for eight Saquon for no game in
Speaker 3: Saquon to the doorstep inches short, fourth and goal false
Speaker 3: start on lane Johnson. They have to settle for an
Speaker 3: Elliot twenty three yard field goal nineteen fifteen with thirteen
Speaker 3: twenty three left. Then the Rams field completely white, now,
Speaker 3: yard markers invisible without an hand. Third and ten at
Speaker 3: their own forty five Stafford hit by Nolan Smith Junior.
Speaker 3: He fumbles, zag Bond recovers Philly after a fourth down
Speaker 3: conversion of Brown, they settle for a thirty seven yard.
Speaker 1: Field goal try for Elliott.
Speaker 3: Great hold by Brayden Mann and it goes through. Twenty
Speaker 3: two to fifteen. Eagles up seven now with six eighteen left.
Speaker 3: Then the Rams after a three and out they still
Speaker 3: have all three timeouts left. They punted. Philly takes over
Speaker 3: with four to forty seven left in the fourth quarter.
Speaker 3: They're up seven own twenty two. First play se Kwon
Speaker 3: Barkley for seventy eight yards. This is the play that
Speaker 3: the tweet was about. Should he have scored?
Speaker 1: I say so sure?
Speaker 3: Twenty eight to fifteen because you don't you know what,
Speaker 3: you don't know what's gonna happen. Next, Elliott missing the
Speaker 3: extra point wide left. So it's a thirteen point game
Speaker 3: with four thirty six left. And then the Eagles, I mean,
Speaker 3: they probably want to have this drive back. They just
Speaker 3: stop blixing, blitzing entirely. And so the Rams and Stafford
Speaker 3: is like, I'll take that. Ten plays seventy yards only
Speaker 3: took one forty eight. Stafford to Kolby Parkins in four out.
Speaker 3: All of a sudden, it's twenty eight, twenty two. We
Speaker 3: are on the number that existed for most of the week,
Speaker 3: the way it closed at seven. And this is so
Speaker 3: crazy that, yeah, two forty eight left in the fourth quarter,
Speaker 3: Rams have all three timeouts and the two minute warning.
Speaker 3: Philly on second down hurts his sack by Kobe Turner
Speaker 3: on a boot leg for a twelve yard loss, and
Speaker 3: it's a three and out. And the Rams, who used
Speaker 3: all three timeouts, now though they get the ball back
Speaker 3: with no timeouts left, but they still love the two
Speaker 3: minute warning. They're set up at their own eighteen with
Speaker 3: two twenty three left, down six after Xavier Smith let
Speaker 3: it bounce the punt that is, which, by the way,
Speaker 3: they're kind of killing him for that. I had no
Speaker 3: problem with him doing that. He's a rookie. He's like,
Speaker 3: I don't want to do anything wrong.
Speaker 1: Let me just let it bounce. So in tough conditions editions,
Speaker 1: I think they were killing him.
Speaker 3: On the broadcast, Tarrico and Collinsworth to Higbee for five
Speaker 3: to cut for eight, two minute warning. Then de Gene
Speaker 3: almost picks it incomplete intended for an Acua broken up
Speaker 3: b Sleigh third down to Robinson for eleven, then to
Speaker 3: Nakua for thirty seven to the Philly twenty one. What
Speaker 3: a cash That kid is awesome. You know what he
Speaker 3: should be Kelly last year's rookie. The can we still
Speaker 3: cash those?
Speaker 1: Oh that's the right, we can.
Speaker 6: Somebody massive plays on this drive. That slay breakup was huge,
Speaker 6: oh man.
Speaker 3: Then to Cup for three with one nineteen to go.
Speaker 3: Keep in mind they get the touchdown the extra point
Speaker 3: they win this. Then a false start to Nikua for seven,
Speaker 3: a third and two at the fourteen, but Stafford is
Speaker 3: sacked by Jalen Carter. I mean, this really is the
Speaker 3: biggest play of the game because that makes it fourth
Speaker 3: and eleven At the twenty two, Stafford throws it way wide.
Speaker 3: Ind in't complete a non competitive play. No flag on Sleigh,
Speaker 3: none on Carter when he hits Stafford, McVeigh is angry.
Speaker 3: It doesn't matter.
Speaker 1: Ballgame.
Speaker 3: Eagles win a twenty eight twenty two saquon twenty six
Speaker 3: for two oh five and two touchdowns, and the Rams
Speaker 3: out gained the Eagles, like the Lions out gained Washington
Speaker 3: four oh two to three point fifty in this case,
Speaker 3: but they were minus two in turnovers, resulting in plus six.
Speaker 3: Remember the Eagles got two field goals out of that.
Speaker 3: Oh by the way, that's the margin of victory twenty two.
Speaker 6: The uh Jalen Carter was so big down the stretch.
Speaker 6: I didn't even hear Josh Sweat say this, but this
Speaker 6: quote I grabbed was so great. It's like, what's going
Speaker 6: on in the player's minds during the game right where
Speaker 6: Carter It's like, seems like he's having a good game,
Speaker 6: but then at the end is massive.
Speaker 1: Right, It's only a quote. It was only a matter
Speaker 1: of time, matter of time before he was going to
Speaker 1: kill that right card. No disrespect to the right card.
Speaker 3: Talking about Jalen Carter who is awesome light the way
Speaker 3: of course I get I guessed Eagles minus four and
Speaker 3: a half because we could go back to the Eagles
Speaker 3: home game against Washington earlier this year, week eleven, and
Speaker 3: that was four and a half.
Speaker 4: And it is.
Speaker 6: Yeah, we're five to five and a half everywhere right now.
Speaker 6: I know there were some four and a halfs that
Speaker 6: opened up at so right in that kind of dead
Speaker 6: man land.
Speaker 3: Oh, we got a full week to talk about this game,
Speaker 3: the rubber match between the Eagles and the Skins.
Speaker 1: AFC. Next on a numbers game as the Sports Betting.

Speaker 1: My Bob's still struggling. I still wonder what that old
Speaker 1: app coming back.
Speaker 3: Vsent watch app is great. Three times we get tweets
Speaker 3: of beating the book Charlie d Usa number one. The
Speaker 3: game was never in doubt. When Joe Gibbs made an appearance,
Speaker 3: I thought the same thing. The greatest coach of all
Speaker 3: time showing up in Detroit, Uh Kevin Ryan during the
Speaker 3: commercial gil Prior to the Barkley seventy eight yard run,
Speaker 3: I texted my buddy and said The only way I
Speaker 3: lose my under is if Barkley rips off a long run.
Speaker 1: What are the odds? What are the odds?
Speaker 6: No?
Speaker 1: Pretty good?
Speaker 3: Actually with that guy, James Sott, that first segment didn't
Speaker 3: disappoint basking this Stringfellow Hawk er Buddy Daniel Snyder been
Speaker 3: gone fifteen minutes took the Washington money line on Drew's
Speaker 3: megapod recommendation. The twelve men on the field penalty was
Speaker 3: the death knell coaching failure. Yeah, shout out to Drew.
Speaker 3: Shout out to Rufus Peabody, who came on the greatest
Speaker 3: better of his generation on this past Friday. Shout out
Speaker 3: to Steve Feszick, the only back to back winner of
Speaker 3: the Hilton Super Contest who comes on every Friday with us.
Speaker 3: Everybody gave that recommendation because of the high volatility nature
Speaker 3: of a game between two teams that go for it
Speaker 3: as often as Dan Campbell and Dan Quinn do for
Speaker 3: the Lions and Skins on four downs, you should take
Speaker 3: Washington on the money line. Just as a matter of principle.
Speaker 3: That money line price was boosted and not boosted by
Speaker 3: the way that sportsbooks now use that word. But it
Speaker 3: was enhanced, and you owed it to yourself to take it,
Speaker 3: and I hope you did.
Speaker 1: That's it I did.
Speaker 3: I didn't take them on against the number, but I
Speaker 3: took him there based on that recommendation.
Speaker 1: Joe C.
Speaker 3: Seven four, We were close to hosting. He's a RAMS fan,
Speaker 3: says we were close to hosting. Your command commodoores Gil
Speaker 3: just pisses me off. How often Chyron fumbles. I believe
Speaker 3: this time it cost us the game. He also fumbled
Speaker 3: against the Eagles earlier this year, and the game changed
Speaker 3: after that. C. Speckler, there are no synonyms for matriculate
Speaker 3: when used.
Speaker 1: By the voice.
Speaker 3: You cannot mess with the voice and his grammatical correctness.
Speaker 3: I believe I'm the voice in this case and in
Speaker 3: primetime Cowboys underscore Cubs won Yo Dog. America's team has
Speaker 3: won three Super Bowls since the DC Skins last appeared
Speaker 3: in one. American and myself expect more from our team. Yes,
Speaker 3: but everyone need to slow their role. We are pacing ourselves.
Speaker 3: We are pacing ourselves. Yeah, you were in those Super
Speaker 3: Bowls like a minute after the Skins were, so let's relax.
Speaker 3: Jason Stark, who's a Steelers fan, he says, how come
Speaker 3: no one's calling for Harbaugh's job in Baltimore? He never
Speaker 3: wins and he has a top three quarterback. Put Lamar
Speaker 3: on the Steelers and Tomlin has another ring.
Speaker 1: That's interesting. Okay, Mark Geiger in out in marg has
Speaker 1: dropped another one on the snow.
Speaker 3: Mark Geiger in house attorney for a numbers game. I've
Speaker 3: ordered pomp poms and a cute outfit for you. Maybe
Speaker 3: I'll bring it over to circle, but seriously, you guys
Speaker 3: have a real shot at the Lamarty Trophy and I'm
Speaker 3: in at seven to one. And then Jeff Levine Gil
Speaker 3: could not agree more about how much team character means.
Speaker 3: So as a Ravens fanatic, I'm very worried that Mark
Speaker 3: Andrews Mishaps has turned way too many fans into raven
Speaker 3: maniacs on a player who has exemplified character during his
Speaker 3: marvelous career. We got more tweets to get to, but
Speaker 3: we got another game to get to. What's next. Let's
Speaker 3: go to Sunday.
Speaker 6: Yeah, AFC Championship both on Sunday, but yeah, Sunday afternoon.
Speaker 1: I mean, of course this is correct. We are now
Speaker 1: at six thirty Eastern time, Bills at Chiefs. The Big
Speaker 1: one Bills at Chiefs.
Speaker 3: Start with the Bills went over Baltimore since we were
Speaker 3: just talking about that the marquee matchup of the weekend
Speaker 3: in the NFL. It did not disappoint. Baltimore comes out
Speaker 3: eight plays, seventy three yards four to twenty, third and
Speaker 3: eight at their own twenty nine, Lamar for nine. Then
Speaker 3: Henry wide open drops a low pass from Lamar no
Speaker 3: matter though, to Likely for thirty nine. Three plays later,
Speaker 3: third and three at the Buffalo sixteen Lamar to de
Speaker 3: Bateman touchdown. That's how Baltimore scored first ten to forty
Speaker 3: left in the first quarter.
Speaker 1: They're up seven.
Speaker 3: Alan misses Hollins on the first play on the ensuing drive,
Speaker 3: but third and eight at their own thirty two. Alan
Speaker 3: to Khalil Shakir for thirty four. Four plays later, fourth
Speaker 3: and two at the Baltimore twenty six, Allen for seven.
Speaker 3: Four plays after that, Ray Davison from one. We are
Speaker 3: tied at seven on an eleven place seventy yard drive
Speaker 3: that took five to fifty seven only two passes. This
Speaker 3: would be a portent of things to come from the
Speaker 3: Bills all day. So seven seven four forty three left
Speaker 3: in the first quarter. Baltimore second and eleven at their
Speaker 3: own twenty seven Milano, with pressure, Lamar throws it deep
Speaker 3: over Bateman's head, picked by Taylor Rap. Lamar had only
Speaker 3: thrown four picks all year. Here's one to Taylor Rap.
Speaker 3: But Buffalo couldn't do anything with it. And here's why.
Speaker 3: A phantom hold on Dion Dawkins. Dion Dawkins gets called
Speaker 3: for a phantom hold sets Buffalo back.
Speaker 1: They have to punt. Was that the one was like
Speaker 1: he was blocking two? Well, yes, he is block to
Speaker 1: well holding.
Speaker 3: Dion Dawkins is telling the refe's like I'm doing exactly
Speaker 3: what I'm supposed to do. Baltimore second and tenth the
Speaker 3: Buffalo twenty eight. Lamar sacked by Hamlin fumbles. This is
Speaker 3: the play of the game. Fumbles. It wasn't like Hamblin
Speaker 3: knocked it out of his hands. Lamar spun and with
Speaker 3: a slick football he loses it, recovered by Von Miller,
Speaker 3: who returns at thirty nine yards. Buffalo set up at
Speaker 3: Baltimore twenty four four plays in Allen in from one
Speaker 3: fourteen to seven Buffalo. That's the game changer that Lamar
Speaker 3: Fommell eight point fifty two left in the second quarter.
Speaker 3: A little later on it would be fourteen to ten,
Speaker 3: and then Buffalo with a double dip hop opportunity nine
Speaker 3: plays seventy yards took him three twenty seven Allen in
Speaker 3: from four twenty one to ten. Buffalo at the half,
Speaker 3: and they get the ball first in the second. It's
Speaker 3: the largest halftime deficit for the Ravens this year.
Speaker 1: Oh boy. But then Buffalo goes three and out.
Speaker 3: Tucker field goal cuts into twenty one to thirteen. Next
Speaker 3: time Baltimore has the ball after they force a punt,
Speaker 3: seven plays eighty yards Henry for six, three and seventeen,
Speaker 3: then Lamar to Andrews for twelve, Hill for twenty two,
Speaker 3: Henry for fifteen for five into the end zone. From
Speaker 3: Henry touchdown, they're down to two point try lamarda likely
Speaker 3: tipped by Milano, fails twenty one to nineteen, Buffalo clinging
Speaker 3: with one thirty seven left in the third. Then Buffalo,
Speaker 3: with Romo saying he wouldn't go down without Alan getting
Speaker 3: most of the touches maybe forty seven times.
Speaker 1: On this drive.
Speaker 3: You see sometimes Romo said that Bass fifty one yard
Speaker 3: field goal. What a kick twenty four nineteen Bills with
Speaker 3: twelve oh four left. Then Baltimore has the ball. Romo
Speaker 3: reminds reminds us that quote big people can push around
Speaker 3: the little people in some moments at the end of
Speaker 3: this one, thanks Tony, big people can push around the
Speaker 3: little people. Jim fourth in inches own thirty nine, Andrews
Speaker 3: for two. Two plays later, Lamar to Andrews for fourteen,
Speaker 3: but he tries to make a move and it's punched
Speaker 3: out by Terrell Bernard, recovered by Bernard. Buffalo up five,
Speaker 3: get it to first and goal with the ten. Baltimore
Speaker 3: decides to use their first two timeouts early with just
Speaker 3: under five minutes left, which I kind of think is
Speaker 3: the right move. And I'll tell you why. I know
Speaker 3: a lot of people were curious about this. When you're
Speaker 3: inside the ten, it's okay to use them with about
Speaker 3: four plus minutes left because there is no chance of
Speaker 3: you getting another set of down night. So that's right, right,
Speaker 3: So that's a correct play at that point, I believe. Anyway,
Speaker 3: Buffalo they have to it's fourth and goal with the two.
Speaker 3: Buffalo calls time out to think about it. They're like,
Speaker 3: let's kick the field goal, and they do. Romo, by
Speaker 3: the wait, this is the other thing that announcers drive
Speaker 3: me crazy on. So they're deciding Buffalo is should we
Speaker 3: kick the field goal? Should we go for we're up five?
Speaker 3: My biggest pet peeve with the announcers. I have many,
Speaker 3: but one of them is they have the benefit of
Speaker 3: seeing live what the sideline's going to do, like one
Speaker 3: and a half seconds before we do on the broadcast.
Speaker 3: So and Romo does this every time he.
Speaker 1: Goes you know, Jim, I think I'd kick the field
Speaker 1: goal right right as they're already coming on the field.
Speaker 1: And so they do kick the field goal. It kills me.
Speaker 6: Or they could just look as they're talking, they can
Speaker 6: look at who's huddling up next to the coach where
Speaker 6: we can't see that at all. He doesn't commit to
Speaker 6: Lease sees them bring out the kick. You to twenty
Speaker 6: seven and nineteen. Buffalo's up eight, three twenty nine left,
Speaker 6: so Baltimore's got one time out in the two minute warning,
Speaker 6: down eight. After a hold on the kickoff, they start
Speaker 6: at their own twelve with three twenty three left, second
Speaker 6: and seven at their own twenty six. Lamar flushed out
Speaker 6: right to Tylan Wallace for twenty seven. What a play
Speaker 6: by Lamar two minute warning at the Buffalo forty seven.
Speaker 6: Remember they need the touchdown in the two snow now
Speaker 6: falling as if on que to likely for twenty four touchdown.
Speaker 1: What a play they're down too another two point try
Speaker 1: to Andrews on the corner.
Speaker 3: Surely he'll catch this dropped twenty seven to twenty five,
Speaker 3: Buffalo one thirty three left Baltimore now reduced to declaring
Speaker 3: for an on side kick. So they go to the
Speaker 3: fishal and you know what they say, Kelly, They go,
Speaker 3: I do declare that I want to kick the on
Speaker 3: side kick. It does not work, it fails. Buffalo wins.
Speaker 3: They're headed to the AFC Championship twenty seven to twenty five.
Speaker 3: Baltimore out gains Buffalo. Theme of the weekend four sixteen
Speaker 3: to two seventy three, where the team that loses outgains
Speaker 3: the winning team. But what's the other thing? Minus three
Speaker 3: in turnovers resulting in plus ten points for the Buffalo Billiards.
Speaker 3: And that's all you need to know. By the way,
Speaker 3: the two point conversion of Andrews and people are killing Andrews.
Speaker 3: Did you notice how Lamar held the ball up like
Speaker 3: it was big brother about to throw it to little
Speaker 3: brother or father about to throw it to their son.
Speaker 1: He's like, okay, here comes dropped.
Speaker 3: A lot of old heads who have been around a
Speaker 3: long time. Think of Jackie Smith of the of the
Speaker 3: Dallas Cowboys in Super Bowl thirteen against the Steelers as
Speaker 3: a comp for this wasn't quite as egregious, but that
Speaker 3: did pop into my head as well.
Speaker 1: I got no problem with a play call. It's it
Speaker 1: was there. It was there to be completed and scored.
Speaker 3: It was dropped. I probably was on Henry. I was
Speaker 3: saying before the play, let's go Henry.
Speaker 1: But it was there. It was there. A drop is
Speaker 1: a drop. Congratulations to Bill's fans, Bill's backers. You get

Speaker 1: there you go back in the day.
Speaker 6: I actually I haven't stayed in any of the properties,
Speaker 6: which is it's just weird. I don't really have any
Speaker 6: explanation for that, any reason why.
Speaker 3: We've we've not stayed at the d either, but we've
Speaker 3: certainly gone to the D many times. Yeah, we're big
Speaker 3: D guys. All right, one more game to get to
Speaker 3: the Bills. Will play the Kansas City Chiefs. Chiefs beat
Speaker 3: the Texans. And when I say beat the Texans, I
Speaker 3: mean it was the Chiefs and maybe some help. Let's
Speaker 3: get into it.
Speaker 1: Shall we? Chiefs began.
Speaker 3: Nico Romello returns the kickoff sixty three yards the opening kickoff,
Speaker 3: he's hit by Chris Boyd. He fumbles but recovered by
Speaker 3: some A J. P. Ryan Boyd flagged for taking off
Speaker 3: his helmet unnecessary roughness. Then he shoves his special teams
Speaker 3: coach Frank Ross. Good start for Houston.
Speaker 4: Huh.
Speaker 1: That was one of those. By the way, I don't
Speaker 1: know where you were.
Speaker 6: I was like these moments where you're like, all right,
Speaker 6: games starting, I'm like, let me just wrap up something
Speaker 6: at the kitchen. I'm like cooking something in a pan.
Speaker 6: I'm like here the broadcast going crazy. You're trying to
Speaker 6: do the whole run back from the kitchen, back and forth,
Speaker 6: like what's going on? Wait a minute, you're cooking something
Speaker 6: in a pan, yeah, and a fried pan.
Speaker 2: Yeah.
Speaker 1: I was cooking up some fijiitas. Yeah, I'm pressed.
Speaker 3: Kansas City set up at the Houston thirteen, but they
Speaker 3: have to settle for a Butcker thirty two yard field
Speaker 3: goal after a three and out three to nothing Chiefs
Speaker 3: a minute and two seconds in, then after a fair
Speaker 3: baron field goal ties it up at three apiece. By
Speaker 3: the way, they had to do it, because oh they
Speaker 3: tie up a three apiece. But on that third down play,
Speaker 3: Stroud hurt his left knee, so we're always worried about
Speaker 3: Stroud's health through the rest of that game. So three
Speaker 3: to three casey would be three and out, but a
Speaker 3: horrific it would have been a three it out. But
Speaker 3: a horrific roughing the passer call on will Anderson extends
Speaker 3: the drive and another red zone stop eventually leads to
Speaker 3: a Butcker thirty six yard field goal six to three
Speaker 3: Kansas City. But back to that play, the horrific roughing
Speaker 3: the passer. We also learned from the official help in
Speaker 3: the booth there, Russell Yurk, that they're now allowed to
Speaker 3: do expedited review and pick those flags up if no
Speaker 3: contact occurs. So, in other words, if will Anderson had
Speaker 3: completely whiffed on Mahomes and they threw the flag. Replay
Speaker 3: assist we learned could come in and reverse that take
Speaker 3: pick the flag up. But because if there's any contact, right,
Speaker 3: so he gets flagged, he should not have been flag.
Speaker 3: But if there's any contact with Mahomes, replay Assistan is
Speaker 3: not allowed to pick up the flag. So, Kelly, if
Speaker 3: I the difference, it'sdiculous. Everything about this ridiculous.
Speaker 6: More upset with everything that was talked about in the
Speaker 6: booth than the actual hit in the call me too
Speaker 6: because the whole Oh they've been doing this all season?
Speaker 1: Gil, Wait what because I don't remember having seen a
Speaker 1: single play this.
Speaker 6: Year where a roughing the passer penalty was called and
Speaker 6: an expedited review came in and helped them pick up
Speaker 6: the flag off the field.
Speaker 1: What are we talking about?
Speaker 3: And again, Patrick Mahomes and Andy Reid do not need
Speaker 3: the extra help from the officials. Houston gets the ball
Speaker 3: a couple drives later, six to three. They're down now
Speaker 3: after a big third and nine twenty eight yard run
Speaker 3: by Strouds. Stroud as sacked by Charles Omnehu. They decide
Speaker 3: on a fair Barren fifty five yard Fueld goal try, which,
Speaker 3: by the way, was the worst of the three options. Yeah,
Speaker 3: you could have punted, you could have gone for it.
Speaker 3: Don't try the fifty five yard or in the cold way,
Speaker 3: low and right Kansas City, because this is what they do.
Speaker 3: Five plays, fifty five yards, two minutes, twenty five seconds.
Speaker 3: Mahomes goes deep to Hollywood Brown is the ball knocked
Speaker 3: out by Murray. No catch, But the next explay, no problem.
Speaker 3: Mahomes to Kelsey for forty nine to the Houston six.
Speaker 3: By the way, Kelsey not very fast, but out there.
Speaker 3: Three plays later, Hunt in from one thirteen to three
Speaker 3: Chiefs with four to twenty six, it would be thirteen
Speaker 3: to six at the half. Third quarter, Houston comes out.
Speaker 3: Fifteen plays eighty two yards, ten minutes and twenty four seconds,
Speaker 3: second and fourteen. By the way, on this drive at
Speaker 3: Kansas City, twenty eight, Stroud to Hutchinson for fourteen, but
Speaker 3: officials marked him short. The Texans don't challenge it. Then
Speaker 3: they get an illegal motion and I'm like, I can't
Speaker 3: believe what's happening here. Third and six, Stroud for exactly six.
Speaker 3: Next play, then mix it in from thirteen, so it's
Speaker 3: thirteen to twelve. On that fifteen play, eighty two yard
Speaker 3: drive that took more than ten minutes, and then fair
Speaker 3: baron wide right on the extra point, and Kansas City
Speaker 3: still leads thirteen to twelve with four thirty six left
Speaker 3: in the third quarter. And then, of course Mahomes in
Speaker 3: Kansas City thirteen plays eighty one yard, seven minut and
Speaker 3: it's forty four seconds the first two drives of the
Speaker 3: second half. I mean, it was just unbelievably how long
Speaker 3: each of those was. First and ten at their own
Speaker 3: thirty five on that drive, by the way, Mahomes toying
Speaker 3: with defenders, then a late slide, then an unnecessary roughness
Speaker 3: when two Houston defenders smack into each other fifteen yards,
Speaker 3: and then three plays later, third and fourth of Houston
Speaker 3: forty Mahomes to Gray at the sticks. Initially they give
Speaker 3: him a first down, he wasn't close. They correctly moved
Speaker 3: the ball back for fourth and inches at the Houston
Speaker 3: thirty six to start the fourth quarter, then hunt for
Speaker 3: three five plays later, falling down Mahomes to Kelsey. What
Speaker 3: a play falling down Mahomes to Kelsey from eleven twenty
Speaker 3: to twelve Kansas City. But you had the unnecessary roughness
Speaker 3: when the two defenders smacked to win each other. When
Speaker 3: Mahomes is toying with the defenders, he does the late slide.
Speaker 3: Then you had the one where they gave Gray the
Speaker 3: first down. They're like, oh, yeah, maybe he didn't get it.
Speaker 1: I forgot.
Speaker 3: It's the Kansas City Chiefs. They couldn't possibly not get
Speaker 3: a first down, right anyway. It's twenty to twelve Houston,
Speaker 3: fourth and ten at the Kansas City forty. They decide
Speaker 3: late to go for it or a fifth straight play
Speaker 3: Kansas City blitzes strout Is sacked all the way back
Speaker 3: they usedon forty four by Carl Loftis. Then a couple
Speaker 3: drives later Kansas City they're still up eight, set up
Speaker 3: at the Houston forty five fourth and one. They get
Speaker 3: it to fourth and one at the Houston nine. They
Speaker 3: decide correctly, let's just kick the field goal here and
Speaker 3: go up two scores. Butcker hits the chip shot twenty
Speaker 3: seven yarder, so it's twenty three to twelve Chiefs with
Speaker 3: four to thirty eight left. Houston starts with another Carl
Speaker 3: Loftis sack, the fifth Casey sack of the game. They
Speaker 3: get it to second and two at the Kansas City five.
Speaker 3: They matriculate second and two at the Kansas City five
Speaker 3: snap it in haste before the two minute warning. Stroud
Speaker 3: is sacked by Felix a new de kay Uzoma, then
Speaker 3: by Carl loftis his third case's eighth. Houston costs time out,
Speaker 3: They kick the They go to a field goal because
Speaker 3: they're down eleven. Right, they're down two scores and the
Speaker 3: spread is in doubt. Here fairbaron thirty five yard field
Speaker 3: goal blocked by Leoshanal. Oh my god, Kansas City is
Speaker 3: gonna cover two except for Kansas City as a three
Speaker 3: and out. And on fourth and fifteen at their eighteen,
Speaker 3: and this seems somewhat unnecessary. I was like, Okay, I
Speaker 3: get the idea, but did he really have to take
Speaker 3: us in the here? Yeah, fourth and fifteen at their
Speaker 3: own eighteen and the closing seconds, matt Riza asked is
Speaker 3: asked to run it back and take the safety ed
Speaker 3: he does. Houston wins it twenty three to fourteen. Andy
Speaker 3: Reid's way of saying, Hey, you probably should have bet
Speaker 3: us at the lower number. The nine and a half,
Speaker 3: do not cash for the Chiefs. Twenty three fourteen. Chiefs
Speaker 3: win and they advance Mahomes in Kansas City. And this
Speaker 3: is just I mean, we could talk about all the
Speaker 3: other stats that are amazing for all these other teams
Speaker 3: and Jane Daniels and this and that, but the Kansas
Speaker 3: City Chiefs going to their seventh straight AFC championship is
Speaker 3: on a planet of its own. It's just unbelievable to
Speaker 3: think about that seven AFC championships on in a row.
Speaker 1: Way.
Speaker 3: We have a tweet about this, Houston. For the Texans,
Speaker 3: teams had been forty nine to oh when out gaining
Speaker 3: their opponent by over one hundred yards in a playoff
Speaker 3: game and not committing a turnover in a playoff game.
Speaker 3: Pre ESPN stats in info from Benjamin Solak, Texans first
Speaker 3: team to outgame their opponent by one hundred plus three
Speaker 3: thirty six to twelve, not turn the ball over and
Speaker 3: lose a postseason game. Previous teams were forty nine to
Speaker 3: zero in the playoffs. About the officiating? Can we run
Speaker 3: that other tweet? Because I think this is great?
Speaker 1: This is uh, this is a tweet? Do we have
Speaker 1: that one about the officiating? Guys?
Speaker 3: I'll read it otherwise, this is uh, Kenny Rodgers, Kenny
Speaker 3: Rodgers not Kenny Rodgers not Kenny Rodgers. Tweet says the
Speaker 3: Buffalo Bills were just called for roughing the passer next
Speaker 3: week against Kansas City, which I think echoes a lot
Speaker 3: of people's feelings about the officiating in this Texans game.
Speaker 1: This is Demiko Ryans. We have Demico Ryans. I've got
Speaker 1: comments about the officiating. There's Demiko Ryans after the game.
Speaker 1: We knew going into this game, man, it was us
Speaker 1: versus everybody.
Speaker 3: Right When I say everybody is everybody, all of whatever,
Speaker 3: everybody the naysayer is a doubt right.
Speaker 1: Everybody.
Speaker 3: Yeah, Jmiko did not want to say officials. They didn't
Speaker 3: want to see that word, did not want to come
Speaker 3: out of his mouth.
Speaker 1: But you know what he meant.
Speaker 6: I think that's excellently handled. Because you've already lost, Why
Speaker 6: get fined too? Did to change that and you got
Speaker 6: your message across. Here's my comment on the officiating, GIL
Speaker 6: is that it wouldn't have it wouldn't have stood out
Speaker 6: so much, and it wouldn't have been so bad, in
Speaker 6: my opinion, if every other game the rest didn't seemingly
Speaker 6: just throw the flags away like there.
Speaker 1: Was Baltimore Buffalo.
Speaker 6: How much stuff went uncalled that felt like it could
Speaker 6: have gone called throughout.
Speaker 1: The play of the game. They just let him plunge
Speaker 1: is what they should do.
Speaker 6: In Kansas City, Houston, it was just it was more
Speaker 6: of that. It's it's we could sit here and order
Speaker 6: you back and forth about every.
Speaker 1: Single one of the calls there, but there was there
Speaker 1: was no game. You're right to your point.
Speaker 3: There was no game this weekend where you felt like
Speaker 3: the officials really mattered, right except for this, Except for
Speaker 3: this game. And you do walk away thinking, I'm sorry
Speaker 3: you kind of do. The chiefs are great, But this
Speaker 3: other thing is true too. Both things can be true
Speaker 3: at the same time. No, I never gave a guest
Speaker 3: for the AFC Championship, but we kind of already knew
Speaker 3: it from the look aheads. But I said to Kansas
Speaker 3: City minus one and a half, and that's kind of
Speaker 3: where they set off.
