WEBVTT - NFL Week 2 Reactions: Vikings-Bears, Eagles-Titans and more 0:00:14.640 --> 0:00:19.639 Welcome to Sharper Square, brought to you by Polymarket. We 0:00:19.680 --> 0:00:23.260 are part of the Volume Podcast Network. This is the 0:00:23.300 --> 0:00:25.380 show that makes the square sharper and makes the wise 0:00:25.400 --> 0:00:26.940 guys pay attention. 0:00:26.960 --> 0:00:28.360 I am Chad Millman. 0:00:28.430 --> 0:00:31.110 I am joined, as always, by my co-host, my BFF, 0:00:31.150 --> 0:00:36.909 my companion, my compadre, professional bettor, Eno Simon. 0:00:38.110 --> 0:00:39.650 Chad, when all hope is lost. 0:00:40.470 --> 0:00:43.979 All that's left is relief, my friend. Jesus Christ. 0:00:44.600 --> 0:00:49.080 That's almost what I would be feeling based on our 0:00:49.180 --> 0:00:52.410 betting for the day, which we're going to get to. 0:00:52.420 --> 0:00:55.920 Because it is a tragedy of a day for us. 0:00:56.920 --> 0:01:02.780 Caleb Williams going down as the Bears are driving for 0:01:02.880 --> 0:01:09.020 what could be a go-ahead touchdown in just a 1940s 0:01:09.680 --> 0:01:17.110 black and white slop of a game. And getting tripped 0:01:17.190 --> 0:01:20.389 by the back of his leg, falling down in a heap, 0:01:21.010 --> 0:01:26.970 being carted off the field, pumping his arms to get 0:01:27.010 --> 0:01:29.920 the crowd going for Tyson Bajan for the rest of 0:01:29.940 --> 0:01:33.700 the game, put the whole day in perspective. 0:01:34.800 --> 0:01:38.820 Like, it sucks losing money. It sucks losing on this show. 0:01:39.880 --> 0:01:42.899 But the fun is rooting for your team and, like, 0:01:44.120 --> 0:01:46.119 It's just a bummer when your guy goes down. 0:01:48.480 --> 0:01:50.980 Yeah, we talked about it. It's been rough for a 0:01:51.000 --> 0:01:53.700 lot of fans out there, right? Four quarterbacks now, four 0:01:53.960 --> 0:01:57.660 starting quarterbacks lost in the first two weeks. That's why 0:01:57.720 --> 0:02:00.440 we talk about they protect these guys so much. And 0:02:01.000 --> 0:02:03.060 Caleb won's the worst one because it is, I guess, 0:02:03.110 --> 0:02:06.050 technically a non-contact. He kind of jump-skipped. So the guy 0:02:06.070 --> 0:02:08.389 who was trying to tackle him just missed him. He 0:02:08.410 --> 0:02:10.690 kind of jump-skipped, and when he landed, whatever it was, 0:02:10.710 --> 0:02:12.810 that's why everyone thought it was Achilles. Because as soon 0:02:12.850 --> 0:02:15.580 as he landed on the leg... instantly went down. Now, 0:02:15.600 --> 0:02:19.700 their same hamstring, which sometimes is code for Achilles, but 0:02:20.320 --> 0:02:22.000 that's what we're all hoping. I mean, everyone's waiting by 0:02:22.020 --> 0:02:24.040 their phones hoping it's just a hamstring. I think they're 0:02:24.060 --> 0:02:26.240 saying now that they won't know until tomorrow where they 0:02:26.260 --> 0:02:29.280 get an MRI. So, yeah, just brutal for the city 0:02:29.300 --> 0:02:32.150 of Chicago. I mean, you come out the week before, 0:02:32.210 --> 0:02:36.169 put up almost 60. Life is good. And we talked 0:02:36.190 --> 0:02:38.340 about that line. Like, you know, it opened at 48.5, 0:02:38.330 --> 0:02:39.510 the total. I think it went down to 47 or 0:02:39.510 --> 0:02:44.840 47.5 by kickoff. You knew it was going to be 0:02:44.870 --> 0:02:47.870 a weather game, but like you said, it was horrible. 0:02:47.930 --> 0:02:51.370 Both sides of the ball, turnovers, sloppy play, and you 0:02:51.389 --> 0:02:52.970 still had a chance to win it at the end 0:02:53.010 --> 0:02:55.450 if you're a Bears fan. And just to have it 0:02:55.490 --> 0:02:56.950 end like that, yeah, like you said, it sums up 0:02:57.010 --> 0:02:59.470 our day. It's just nothing could go our way, and 0:02:59.500 --> 0:03:01.300 that's how it was for that Bears game. Nothing in 0:03:01.340 --> 0:03:04.299 that game could go their way. Yeah, rarely do you 0:03:04.320 --> 0:03:06.139 put up 60 in the final. We put up three 0:03:06.260 --> 0:03:08.080 at home, so pretty shocking outcome. 0:03:08.860 --> 0:03:11.820 Simon, when I was in high school, I was dating 0:03:11.860 --> 0:03:15.360 a girl, and she broke up with me. And I 0:03:15.380 --> 0:03:18.860 was pretty bummed. And I went home that night and 0:03:18.880 --> 0:03:24.549 we had these little mini frozen Sara Lee cheesecakes, like 0:03:24.690 --> 0:03:30.030 individual servings. Went upstairs that night, didn't even bother defrosting them. 0:03:30.190 --> 0:03:33.590 I was just eating a box of mini frozen Sara 0:03:33.610 --> 0:03:36.410 Lee cheesecakes. My parents get home, they were out. My 0:03:36.450 --> 0:03:39.950 dad opens the door. He looks at me sitting there 0:03:39.990 --> 0:03:43.390 on the top of my comforter in my trundle bed. 0:03:44.100 --> 0:03:46.460 He's like, she dumped you, huh? 0:03:47.140 --> 0:03:47.680 I'm like, yeah. 0:03:48.440 --> 0:03:51.530 When this show is over, I'm going down to the 0:03:51.570 --> 0:03:57.710 freezer and I am attacking a box of frozen chocolate 0:03:57.730 --> 0:04:01.160 chip cookie dough that we have. That's how I'm going 0:04:01.180 --> 0:04:04.080 to treat myself for such a miserable day. You know 0:04:04.100 --> 0:04:07.220 you're having a bad day when the one shred of 0:04:07.280 --> 0:04:12.560 hope you have is the Washington Commander's And they have 0:04:12.620 --> 0:04:16.500 an injury to their quarterback that is so bad, Tom Brady, 0:04:17.400 --> 0:04:22.300 in the middle of a national broadcast, yells out, oh, shit. 0:04:23.860 --> 0:04:27.260 That is how bad it's going for us today. 0:04:28.440 --> 0:04:30.729 Yeah, brutal. Go from a chance to tie it up 0:04:31.070 --> 0:04:34.969 to a bad snap, mishandle. I think the guy stepped 0:04:35.010 --> 0:04:35.570 on his foot. 0:04:35.730 --> 0:04:36.590 He got stepped on. 0:04:36.830 --> 0:04:40.110 Yeah, his elbow getting dosked. It's just, like we said, it's– 0:04:40.589 --> 0:04:43.539 if you– If you can survive this season, that's all 0:04:43.580 --> 0:04:45.520 it's about in the NFL. If you can just survive 0:04:45.560 --> 0:04:48.040 this season with your players, you always have a chance. 0:04:48.160 --> 0:04:50.029 And we've seen it through a couple weeks here. It's 0:04:50.050 --> 0:04:55.590 just these random moments happening. It's just impossible. So I'm 0:04:55.610 --> 0:04:57.090 with you, buddy. It hurts right now, but we're about 0:04:57.110 --> 0:04:58.190 to get into these games. It's about to get a 0:04:58.210 --> 0:04:58.990 lot worse before it. 0:04:58.950 --> 0:04:59.750 Gets any better. 0:04:59.830 --> 0:05:01.860 I'm almost trying to avoid it. Our last two in 0:05:01.880 --> 0:05:05.260 were Jacksonville. Our last two out were Jacksonville and Arizona. 0:05:05.279 --> 0:05:06.039 Wouldn't it matter? 0:05:06.100 --> 0:05:06.560 It mattered. 0:05:07.160 --> 0:05:09.979 We completely ignored New Orleans, who we were on the 0:05:10.060 --> 0:05:14.739 whole freaking week. Every single show we talked about New Orleans. 0:05:15.820 --> 0:05:19.670 Our last two in were Washington and Pittsburgh. Didn't matter. 0:05:20.790 --> 0:05:23.690 We were on two of the more public plays and 0:05:23.810 --> 0:05:28.969 road faves, Green Bay and Philly, who did not cover. 0:05:29.330 --> 0:05:33.490 This is our Sunday night NFL week two reaction show. 0:05:33.510 --> 0:05:36.210 We are going to recap the misery of of the 0:05:36.250 --> 0:05:40.360 day from our final five picks in our free sharp 0:05:40.510 --> 0:05:47.020 or square $ 25, 000 pro football pick them contest. That contest 0:05:47.460 --> 0:05:51.979 opened last week. You can still jump in folks because 0:05:52.220 --> 0:05:56.180 we're dropping your worst score from the first five weeks. 0:05:56.760 --> 0:05:59.060 I got a feeling this, this score for us today 0:05:59.380 --> 0:06:02.240 might be in contention.

It's totally free, sharpersquare.thevolume.com. 0:06:21.380 --> 0:06:21.640 All right. 0:06:22.400 --> 0:06:27.530 Look, I own it. Philadelphia, seven and a half point 0:06:27.589 --> 0:06:31.730 favorite at Tennessee. I own it. I own it. I 0:06:31.990 --> 0:06:38.160 own it. Nobody did me any favors here. Like Jalen. 0:06:39.339 --> 0:06:41.240 Nearly throws a pick six from his own end zone 0:06:41.860 --> 0:06:44.440 to the other end zone. They're down seven, nothing. But 0:06:44.600 --> 0:06:47.050 even when that was going on, like they had drives 0:06:47.120 --> 0:06:52.050 of 15 plays, 14 plays, 11 plays. They were dominating 0:06:52.089 --> 0:06:55.030 this team. And then in the third quarter, I don't 0:06:55.050 --> 0:06:56.950 know what the freak happened, Simon. Like they couldn't pass 0:06:56.990 --> 0:07:00.210 protect anymore. They were in third and long in every series. 0:07:00.630 --> 0:07:04.190 Jalen's getting chased out of the pocket. On third and 22, 0:07:04.190 --> 0:07:08.430 the Titans were playing for a field goal, and they 0:07:08.470 --> 0:07:10.410 gave up a draw, and the guy got a first down. Like, 0:07:11.010 --> 0:07:12.250 what happened here? 0:07:14.230 --> 0:07:17.230 Yeah, Eagles defense is definitely a little soft. Whatever has 0:07:17.270 --> 0:07:19.430 happened this year, they're not as tough as they were 0:07:19.650 --> 0:07:23.510 in previous seasons under Fangs, but I would say it 0:07:23.550 --> 0:07:26.450 was a Jalen Hurts game where he just started really poor, right? 0:07:26.510 --> 0:07:28.480 Like you said, he basically did throw a pick six. 0:07:28.500 --> 0:07:31.480 He threw a pick in the end zone. Guy took 0:07:31.600 --> 0:07:34.400 it 95 yards the other way, and And Cam Warren 0:07:34.420 --> 0:07:39.940 ended up rushing in for a touchdown. But, yeah, it's ugly. 0:07:39.960 --> 0:07:41.640 I told you from the get-go that it was just 0:07:41.720 --> 0:07:46.060 a fishy line. And, yeah, I definitely got a lot 0:07:46.080 --> 0:07:48.790 of text messages that I'm too soft on you in 0:07:48.810 --> 0:07:50.630 the morning, that old Simon would have yelled at you 0:07:51.090 --> 0:07:53.210 for putting this one in. But I just said it's 0:07:53.270 --> 0:07:56.230 like maybe I am getting a little softer, but I 0:07:56.250 --> 0:07:58.130 got where you were coming from. It's like what you 0:07:58.190 --> 0:08:01.500 saw from Tennessee, they looked lifeless the previous week. they 0:08:01.520 --> 0:08:03.060 had the juice in this game just cause they couldn't 0:08:03.100 --> 0:08:04.620 believe it on their side. And they couldn't believe they 0:08:04.640 --> 0:08:09.080 were in that game. So, um, another matchup where you 0:08:09.120 --> 0:08:11.280 like to think it's different. If Barkley plays, right. 0:08:11.420 --> 0:08:13.320 You know, they got injured early. 0:08:13.660 --> 0:08:18.230 Take Bigsby in there. He averaged 2.4, five yards per carry. Uh, 0:08:18.380 --> 0:08:21.790 we'll ship the average 3.4 yards per carry. So basically 0:08:21.810 --> 0:08:24.990 a game that was totally on hurts. And he saved. 0:08:25.310 --> 0:08:27.430 If you had money on their money line or put 0:08:27.450 --> 0:08:29.490 them in survival, he saved you in a million different 0:08:29.530 --> 0:08:31.950 ways because, uh, Basically, I feel like every time they 0:08:31.970 --> 0:08:34.960 were third and 12th or third and 10th, and he 0:08:35.000 --> 0:08:37.740 kept finding a way. I know Wicks basically had some 0:08:37.780 --> 0:08:41.220 insane stat where he was like– I know if you 0:08:41.240 --> 0:08:45.100 go and look at what he did receiving, five catches 0:08:45.140 --> 0:08:48.680 for 74 yards, it's not impressive. But if you weighted 0:08:48.760 --> 0:08:50.800 it for what happened in the game, he was basically 0:08:50.840 --> 0:08:53.459 worth 10 points in the game. That's how much his 0:08:53.520 --> 0:08:58.309 catches were important on third down and long drive. So, yeah, that's– 0:08:58.690 --> 0:09:00.810 Great game by Hurts, and obviously a comeback at the end. 0:09:00.850 --> 0:09:03.630 But overall, he was sloppy. The Eagles are sloppy. Their 0:09:03.650 --> 0:09:06.370 offensive line still doesn't look right. I know they're rotating 0:09:06.410 --> 0:09:08.050 guys right now. Like, you think they'll get better as 0:09:08.090 --> 0:09:11.900 the season goes along. But, yeah, to barely beat that 0:09:11.960 --> 0:09:16.920 Tennessee team, pretty embarrassing for the Eagles. And, yeah, lucky 0:09:16.940 --> 0:09:18.280 to get out of there with a win. You know, 0:09:18.300 --> 0:09:19.720 won the game with nine seconds left. 0:09:20.840 --> 0:09:27.140 Cam Ward had three completions of 25-plus yards. On the 0:09:27.179 --> 0:09:32.530 scoring drive that I think put them, it tied it 0:09:32.710 --> 0:09:37.929 at 17. He was four for four and a rushing touchdown. 0:09:37.950 --> 0:09:42.130 I don't know, I assume you watched all of the game. 0:09:43.290 --> 0:09:46.870 When you watched that game, did anything about Cam Ward's 0:09:46.929 --> 0:09:52.980 performance change your opinion about him? Make you think he's improving? 0:09:53.040 --> 0:09:57.010 Do you think it was just the Eagles defense not 0:09:57.050 --> 0:09:58.180 playing as well as it can play. 0:09:59.970 --> 0:10:01.770 Yeah I think it's more about Eagles defense they just 0:10:01.790 --> 0:10:04.470 didn't play well but Cam I mean made the plays 0:10:04.490 --> 0:10:06.929 when he had to overall but he still does a 0:10:06.980 --> 0:10:09.380 lot of things where he just he looks very sloppy 0:10:09.420 --> 0:10:12.080 immature and just I just have a hard time seeing 0:10:12.120 --> 0:10:14.979 him last in this league but if you're a Tennessee 0:10:15.020 --> 0:10:17.360 fan that's one of the better games he's played like 0:10:17.420 --> 0:10:20.880 that's how bad he's been this year and Um, not 0:10:20.940 --> 0:10:25.540 his fault. He put up, uh, what is it? 20 0:10:25.540 --> 0:10:29.500 points in a matchup where, you know, I think they're 0:10:29.520 --> 0:10:32.530 over under was 15 points or 14 and a half points. So, 0:10:33.210 --> 0:10:35.189 you know, you can say what you want about this 0:10:35.230 --> 0:10:37.590 Tennessee team, 20 points is not a lot, but to 0:10:37.630 --> 0:10:39.970 them against this Eagles defense, that's pretty good for them 0:10:39.990 --> 0:10:42.530 in this matchup. And his defense gets one or two 0:10:42.580 --> 0:10:46.750 stops on all those third downs. He wins this game. So, uh, 0:10:47.240 --> 0:10:48.800 Pretty brutal if you're a Tennessee fan. The type of 0:10:48.820 --> 0:10:51.420 win that could have changed your whole season. Now it 0:10:51.480 --> 0:10:54.620 feels like it's just same old Tennessee where the Eagles, 0:10:55.360 --> 0:10:57.560 you could say they've been sloppy through two weeks. It's 0:10:57.600 --> 0:11:02.390 like they're 2-0. So it's hard to really beat up 0:11:02.420 --> 0:11:04.930 this Eagles team that has played so poorly. But definitely 0:11:04.950 --> 0:11:06.830 something to keep in mind. If this continues, it's going 0:11:06.850 --> 0:11:09.150 to be an easy fade, this Eagles team. And they're 0:11:09.170 --> 0:11:12.969 already 0-2 against the spread. They've been pumped up a 0:11:12.970 --> 0:11:14.390 little by the public, and they have not lived up 0:11:14.410 --> 0:11:15.370 to that through two weeks. 0:11:16.410 --> 0:11:21.450 I cannot wait for the Bears-Eagles game next. 0:11:21.350 --> 0:11:23.590 Week on Monday night. 0:11:23.950 --> 0:11:26.490 By the way, we get a big opportunity to go 0:11:26.530 --> 0:11:30.050 against Tennessee if we think they're coming back down to 0:11:30.130 --> 0:11:34.480 earth against the New York football giants in week three. 0:11:35.020 --> 0:11:39.199 That game will be played in the Meadowlands, also in 0:11:39.220 --> 0:11:43.480 the Meadowlands this week. The Green Bay Packers closed as 0:11:43.559 --> 0:11:48.920 three-and-a-half-point favorites at the New York Jets. Simon, I feel 0:11:48.940 --> 0:11:53.360 like you and I are in the same headspace as 0:11:53.460 --> 0:11:58.280 these NFL teams that didn't really tackle during training camp, 0:11:59.620 --> 0:12:04.580 and we're not making the right calls because we loved 0:12:04.620 --> 0:12:07.340 the Jets last Sunday. We kept talking about the Jets, 0:12:08.040 --> 0:12:10.500 and then all of a sudden this morning– Like, we 0:12:10.610 --> 0:12:13.670 both talked about the Packers like we knew this was 0:12:13.730 --> 0:12:23.170 the side. And sure enough, the Packers win 20-17 in overtime. 0:12:25.010 --> 0:12:30.290 It was a miserable Meadowlands day. Rainy, cold. First quarter 0:12:30.309 --> 0:12:34.600 had 88 total yards. No, first quarter actually, in the 0:12:34.640 --> 0:12:39.800 first quarter, the first three offensive series for the Packers. 0:12:41.110 --> 0:12:45.750 Zero total yards, six penalties, zero first downs. 0:12:46.670 --> 0:12:48.410 I'm going to give you a stat, and then I 0:12:48.429 --> 0:12:49.050 want your opinion. 0:12:50.990 --> 0:12:56.240 The Packers had 17 penalties in the game. And these 0:12:56.250 --> 0:12:59.620 weren't like just holding penalties. These were discipline penalties. These 0:12:59.660 --> 0:13:05.320 were procedure, formation, unsportsmanlike conduct. That is the same number 0:13:05.400 --> 0:13:08.980 of points the Packers had at the end of regulation. 0:13:11.030 --> 0:13:14.250 What happened to us here? How did this happen? 0:13:16.929 --> 0:13:20.270 What's our problem right now? We're overthinking. We were both 0:13:20.309 --> 0:13:23.120 in on the Jets, and I can tell you from 0:13:23.150 --> 0:13:25.540 my perspective what happened. I've seen them in the books 0:13:25.559 --> 0:13:29.280 a lot, talking with people. It was the Texans' effect 0:13:29.300 --> 0:13:32.020 from the previous week and this week. Everyone was on 0:13:32.360 --> 0:13:36.080 that side. Everyone was on the Jets. Every person I 0:13:36.120 --> 0:13:39.920 talked to professionally was on the Jets. The public was 0:13:39.970 --> 0:13:41.670 right there with them. It just felt like everyone was 0:13:41.710 --> 0:13:45.170 piling on the Jets. It's never this easy. I always 0:13:45.210 --> 0:13:47.069 talk about it. It's too good to be true. It 0:13:47.110 --> 0:13:49.970 usually is. Green Bay had their opportunities to cover this 0:13:49.990 --> 0:13:52.170 number for us. We were deader than dead. They put 0:13:52.190 --> 0:13:55.170 themselves in the exact spot to win this game by 0:13:55.250 --> 0:14:00.219 four points. They're a sloppy team. It's going to be 0:14:00.240 --> 0:14:02.099 a long year for the Green Bay team. On the 0:14:02.120 --> 0:14:04.949 flip side, the Jets... you know, as much as I 0:14:04.970 --> 0:14:06.570 want to hate on them, they were in this game 0:14:06.590 --> 0:14:08.309 in many ways. You know, Gino would have played a 0:14:08.330 --> 0:14:09.860 little better in the second half. They probably would have 0:14:09.880 --> 0:14:13.380 won it, but overall, I probably will move up, move 0:14:13.400 --> 0:14:14.940 the Jets up a little bit in my rankings and 0:14:15.059 --> 0:14:17.700 obviously move the Green Bay down even more, even after 0:14:17.760 --> 0:14:20.820 a win. It's just so many holes on that team defensively. 0:14:20.840 --> 0:14:22.900 And like you said, the penalties are just so sloppy. 0:14:22.950 --> 0:14:25.910 Even when they got stops, they were getting penalties for taunting. 0:14:26.110 --> 0:14:30.430 It's just like immature, bad defensive play by Green Bay. 0:14:30.470 --> 0:14:33.690 So yeah, like you said, brutal, brutal loss, but We 0:14:33.770 --> 0:14:36.050 are 0 for 6 throughout the season on 1 p.m. 0:14:36.090 --> 0:14:38.530 games in our contest break. 0:14:42.150 --> 0:14:47.440 That is ridiculous. I don't know how they– how do 0:14:47.460 --> 0:14:48.120 you fix that? 0:14:48.360 --> 0:14:50.500 In the middle of the season, if you're the Green 0:14:50.540 --> 0:14:55.400 Bay Packers, their offensive line is troubling because the Jets 0:14:55.440 --> 0:15:00.750 were coming after Jordan Love. In the secondary, Geno Smith 0:15:00.910 --> 0:15:06.250 was finding Garrett Wilson– and another player, number 15, whose 0:15:06.290 --> 0:15:08.710 name I can't remember, on third. 0:15:08.550 --> 0:15:10.580 And longs nonstop. 0:15:10.600 --> 0:15:14.120 These guys were just getting targeted, targeted, targeted in the 0:15:14.220 --> 0:15:18.800 Packers secondary. Those are things you can fix with scheme. 0:15:19.700 --> 0:15:21.240 What does Matt LaFleur do in the middle of the 0:15:21.280 --> 0:15:24.940 season to fix his team getting so many freaking penalties 0:15:24.980 --> 0:15:26.060 and being so undisciplined? 0:15:26.800 --> 0:15:27.520 That's on him. 0:15:28.220 --> 0:15:31.010 Is it You've got to have refs in every practice, 0:15:31.270 --> 0:15:33.570 and they've got to call every single penalty they see 0:15:33.590 --> 0:15:36.030 so these guys can start getting their heads back in 0:15:36.050 --> 0:15:36.350 the game. 0:15:36.830 --> 0:15:38.050 I actually don't know the answer. 0:15:39.650 --> 0:15:41.910 Yeah, it's interesting to see what their spread is going 0:15:41.930 --> 0:15:43.270 to be the rest of the year because they obviously 0:15:43.290 --> 0:15:45.370 get Atlanta next week. They'll obviously be a big favorite 0:15:45.410 --> 0:15:48.400 against them. But the rest of their season is very tough, 0:15:48.560 --> 0:15:50.440 this Green Bay team. I mean, the other layup game 0:15:50.460 --> 0:15:52.700 they have is Miami way later in the season. So 0:15:54.200 --> 0:15:55.980 I don't think you can coach that. I just said 0:15:56.300 --> 0:15:59.390 they've drafted poorly. They haven't done well for agency, and 0:15:59.410 --> 0:16:01.750 they've obviously given away draft capital and players to go 0:16:01.790 --> 0:16:03.620 get a player that's not playing on the field right 0:16:03.630 --> 0:16:07.620 now in Parsons. So them being 2-4 is a very 0:16:07.680 --> 0:16:09.240 real possibility by the time he gets back. 0:16:09.940 --> 0:16:15.560 All right. So we're 0-2 in the games we're talking about, 0:16:15.620 --> 0:16:18.830 like you said, 2-1 PN games. I need to tell 0:16:18.880 --> 0:16:23.030 everybody about the new prediction market called Polymarket. It's the 0:16:23.110 --> 0:16:26.750 best new way to trade in sports.

Simon, at the same 0:17:14.500 --> 0:17:19.280 exact time, the Titans scored their first touchdown on fourth 0:17:19.320 --> 0:17:21.840 and goal, by the way, off of the Jalen Hurts 0:17:22.320 --> 0:17:25.990 interception in the Titans end zone. The New England Patriots 0:17:26.030 --> 0:17:28.880 scored on a 50-yard touchdown run in the first quarter. 0:17:29.560 --> 0:17:32.800 Literally the same exact time. We had Pittsburgh plus five 0:17:32.820 --> 0:17:36.260 and a half at New England. I don't know about you, 0:17:36.320 --> 0:17:41.480 but Pittsburgh, even though the score was close, was kind 0:17:41.530 --> 0:17:46.070 of never in this game. Their offense was dreadful. 0:17:47.230 --> 0:17:48.710 Dreadful. 0:17:48.950 --> 0:17:50.070 I don't know what they're going to do because their 0:17:50.090 --> 0:17:53.490 defense kept them close. The offense could do nothing. 0:17:54.640 --> 0:17:57.780 Yeah, brutal. They got a really nice fumble. The defense 0:17:57.880 --> 0:17:59.620 set us up in a good field position in Pittsburgh. 0:18:00.380 --> 0:18:02.700 I think they were three and out. They punted. Then 0:18:02.940 --> 0:18:06.859 you get a turnover where Drake Mather was another bad pick. 0:18:06.880 --> 0:18:09.260 I think at that point, it's still 10-3. You could 0:18:09.280 --> 0:18:10.639 go down more points. 0:18:11.359 --> 0:18:11.619 Nothing. 0:18:11.640 --> 0:18:15.530 I think they get downfield. Aaron Rodgers takes a blindside sack. 0:18:16.810 --> 0:18:19.169 If anyone should be able to call protections on a blitz, 0:18:19.310 --> 0:18:22.889 it should be Aaron Rodgers. He's 42 years old. He somehow... 0:18:23.130 --> 0:18:25.560 Doesn't call the right protection. The guy comes off the edge, 0:18:25.600 --> 0:18:28.260 or who knows. But he gets a blindside hit. Instead 0:18:28.300 --> 0:18:30.740 of being, what was it, third and five at New 0:18:30.800 --> 0:18:35.200 England's 30? It's a 30-yard play where the ball goes 0:18:35.280 --> 0:18:37.460 all the way back to Pittsburgh's own 35, and they 0:18:37.480 --> 0:18:40.300 had to punt. So, you know, we had a missed 0:18:40.320 --> 0:18:41.919 field goal as well. So it should have been 10-9 0:18:41.940 --> 0:18:44.420 at half. We're at 10-3, and we still have a chance. 0:18:44.520 --> 0:18:47.280 Like I said, Drake May just does not look comfortable, 0:18:47.300 --> 0:18:49.919 especially against good defenses. That's what Pittsburgh is. Like, they 0:18:49.960 --> 0:18:52.240 were on them all game, but Yeah, tons of props 0:18:52.260 --> 0:18:54.560 to Vrabel and that Patriots defense. They were just all 0:18:54.740 --> 0:18:57.180 over Pittsburgh. Really shut him down. This was just a 0:18:57.240 --> 0:19:01.030 horrible Rodgers game. Rodgers, you know, I'm all for being 0:19:01.119 --> 0:19:03.490 very confident in yourself and believing in yourself, but someone 0:19:03.510 --> 0:19:05.060 needs to sit him down and have a conversation with him. 0:19:05.070 --> 0:19:07.770 I'm like, dude, you are 42 years old. You can't 0:19:07.869 --> 0:19:10.629 outrun a single DM in this entire league. There was 0:19:10.670 --> 0:19:13.130 multiple times where he tried to bend around the edge 0:19:13.230 --> 0:19:15.619 like he was going to scoot around the end and 0:19:15.640 --> 0:19:16.980 the guy just would grab him and throw him down. 0:19:17.020 --> 0:19:19.020 It's like, you're 42 years old, man. You're not going 0:19:19.040 --> 0:19:21.119 to beat these guys. You need to just step up 0:19:21.140 --> 0:19:22.400 and get the ball out of your hand. You can't 0:19:22.460 --> 0:19:24.280 run around back there. That's not who you are anymore. 0:19:24.320 --> 0:19:28.679 So brutal. It's like Pittsburgh defense gave us so many 0:19:28.700 --> 0:19:31.619 opportunities to win and cover this game. And, you know, 0:19:31.740 --> 0:19:34.350 Pittsburgh's offense was just atrocious and they gave it all back. 0:19:34.390 --> 0:19:37.730 So this was definitely, I mean, you know, obviously Tennessee 0:19:37.750 --> 0:19:39.129 was a bad bet, but this to me was our 0:19:39.170 --> 0:19:41.510 worst bet of the day. It's like, like you said, 0:19:41.530 --> 0:19:42.970 I never feel like we're ever going to cover. And 0:19:42.990 --> 0:19:44.470 when they missed that field goal all the voodoo, I 0:19:44.470 --> 0:19:47.040 was just like, man, Pittsburgh, good offense has given us 0:19:47.180 --> 0:19:48.740 absolutely nothing. Say what you want about Drake. Man, he 0:19:48.780 --> 0:19:51.199 was still making big time throws. I know he didn't 0:19:51.240 --> 0:19:53.780 do much through the air, but overall on third down, 0:19:53.820 --> 0:19:55.580 he made big throws, set him up position to win 0:19:55.600 --> 0:19:58.669 that game. So yeah, really, really great win. I would 0:19:58.690 --> 0:20:00.689 say by the Patriots, like they need to stop the 0:20:00.730 --> 0:20:04.570 slide on the flip side. You said Pittsburgh, you beat Atlanta, 0:20:04.590 --> 0:20:06.550 maybe the worst team in football. And then you get 0:20:06.609 --> 0:20:09.129 embarrassed on the road here. It's, It's another team where 0:20:09.150 --> 0:20:10.310 it just feels like it's going to be a long 0:20:10.350 --> 0:20:12.629 season and a team that I think most of us 0:20:12.670 --> 0:20:15.050 are really down on coming into the season. And the 0:20:15.090 --> 0:20:17.670 big part was Aaron Rodgers. So the defense does look good. 0:20:17.690 --> 0:20:20.900 But McCarthy, Aaron Rodgers experiment, it's not looking good through 0:20:20.920 --> 0:20:21.300 two weeks. 0:20:23.920 --> 0:20:28.060 The Steelers are so bad, they made the Falcons look good. 0:20:29.080 --> 0:20:33.740 That's how bad the Steelers are. The Steelers are so bad. 0:20:34.340 --> 0:20:37.679 That Aaron Rodgers in the first half was 12 of 0:20:37.680 --> 0:20:43.959 22 with a 3.8 yard per pass attempt average. 0:20:45.520 --> 0:20:50.379 And his average went down for the entire game. He 0:20:50.520 --> 0:20:52.040 ended the game 23 of 40 with a 3.27 YPA. 0:20:52.060 --> 0:20:53.100 It was really.... 0:21:00.650 --> 0:21:03.030 They had so many chances to cover that game. And 0:21:03.070 --> 0:21:08.260 then the kicker was, you know, he's out, he's scrambling, 0:21:08.520 --> 0:21:12.260 gets sandwiched on a sack, Patriots recover, run it back 0:21:12.280 --> 0:21:14.260 for a touchdown. That was kind of the end of 0:21:14.280 --> 0:21:19.240 the game. DK Metcalf making a ton of money, another 0:21:19.340 --> 0:21:22.889 crucial drop. This could have been the key play of 0:21:22.910 --> 0:21:26.030 the whole game, the pivot point, the tipping point, whatever 0:21:26.070 --> 0:21:28.520 you want to call it. Fourth and three with two 0:21:28.560 --> 0:21:31.000 minutes left in the third, they're at midfield down a 0:21:31.040 --> 0:21:34.939 touchdown and he just drops a ball that's right in 0:21:34.960 --> 0:21:38.230 his hands. And so that to me was like, all right, 0:21:38.950 --> 0:21:41.470 I'm taking that off the four box. I'm moving on 0:21:41.490 --> 0:21:46.629 to something else that'll make me less miserable. Unfortunately, it 0:21:48.109 --> 0:21:54.180 wasn't Washington plus four and a half at the Dallas Cowboys. 0:21:55.100 --> 0:21:55.800 Flowers to you. 0:21:58.140 --> 0:22:01.790 If Jaden Daniels doesn't dislocate his elbow in a gruesome, 0:22:01.830 --> 0:22:06.910 gruesome injury, or whatever ultimately the diagnosis is, I think 0:22:06.970 --> 0:22:08.310
