We'll get 29 00:01:32,600 --> 00:01:35,360 Speaker 1: to a little later, but in general you seem to 30 00:01:35,400 --> 00:01:38,560 Speaker 1: be in good spirits. Mark, Well, you know, part of 31 00:01:38,560 --> 00:01:41,160 Speaker 1: our job is just to maintain and to get through it, 32 00:01:41,200 --> 00:01:43,080 Speaker 1: and that's what I did. It was quite a fun 33 00:01:43,120 --> 00:01:47,319 Speaker 1: Sunday by the Barks going to London Market on his 34 00:01:47,360 --> 00:01:50,600 Speaker 1: way to London on Tuesday. So any of our listeners 35 00:01:50,600 --> 00:01:52,720 Speaker 1: that are in London, you and Connor and Mark, you 36 00:01:52,720 --> 00:01:55,280 Speaker 1: guys gotta figure out where the big meet up is 37 00:01:55,280 --> 00:01:57,560 Speaker 1: gonna be next Friday or Saturday. I'll leave that to 38 00:01:57,640 --> 00:02:00,920 Speaker 1: you guys. Yeah, by Mark, some couple of pints. I 39 00:02:00,960 --> 00:02:03,600 Speaker 1: cannot wait to meet some of the English followers of 40 00:02:03,640 --> 00:02:06,160 Speaker 1: the show. Is it true that you actually spent some 41 00:02:06,200 --> 00:02:08,839 Speaker 1: time in your life in England. Yes, it's been it's 42 00:02:08,840 --> 00:02:10,920 Speaker 1: been chronicled. I lived there when I was a young boy, 43 00:02:10,960 --> 00:02:13,400 Speaker 1: and I'm gonna try there's any break in the schedule, 44 00:02:13,440 --> 00:02:17,079 Speaker 1: I'm gonna get out to Weybridge, where I lived, if 45 00:02:17,080 --> 00:02:19,280 Speaker 1: I can find a way to get there. I actually 46 00:02:19,320 --> 00:02:22,720 Speaker 1: googled Gary bar Barnage today to find out if he 47 00:02:22,800 --> 00:02:26,720 Speaker 1: was English. He sounds English. Gary Barnage the Gara Bonnage, 48 00:02:28,560 --> 00:02:30,960 Speaker 1: Kentucky from Yeah, I thought so, but just in case 49 00:02:31,000 --> 00:02:33,120 Speaker 1: I missed it. Sometimes you know, something will go off 50 00:02:33,120 --> 00:02:35,520 Speaker 1: your radar and you should know, but you didn't. Gary 51 00:02:35,600 --> 00:02:38,799 Speaker 1: Bonnage historically totally a brit I'm sure, way back in 52 00:02:38,840 --> 00:02:41,720 Speaker 1: the Barnage Fim lineage. So yes, a lot of good 53 00:02:41,720 --> 00:02:44,920 Speaker 1: games to get to, and I don't there should be 54 00:02:44,919 --> 00:02:47,280 Speaker 1: nothing else. We should just get to it least so much. 55 00:02:47,639 --> 00:02:50,000 Speaker 1: So many games to get to, and we'll start like 56 00:02:50,080 --> 00:02:52,480 Speaker 1: we did at least two weeks ago. Greg, I don't know. 57 00:02:52,720 --> 00:02:54,840 Speaker 1: I did listen to the show. None of it stuck 58 00:02:54,840 --> 00:02:58,760 Speaker 1: with me. Uh, totally forgettable. Two weeks ago. We lead. 59 00:02:58,800 --> 00:03:01,200 Speaker 1: Now it was a great show. We're like two weeks 60 00:03:01,240 --> 00:03:03,200 Speaker 1: ago we lead with all the undefeated teams. So let's 61 00:03:03,240 --> 00:03:06,400 Speaker 1: keep doing that. And we'll start with the Carolina Panthers, 62 00:03:06,400 --> 00:03:09,880 Speaker 1: who we all thought, or most of America thought that 63 00:03:10,240 --> 00:03:11,760 Speaker 1: this would be the end of the Panthers as an 64 00:03:11,800 --> 00:03:15,000 Speaker 1: undefeated team. They're going to the clink Seattle Seahawks, They're 65 00:03:15,000 --> 00:03:17,639 Speaker 1: gonna get it together. But guess what, things didn't work 66 00:03:17,639 --> 00:03:21,480 Speaker 1: out that way, because the Panthers remain undefeated after staging 67 00:03:21,760 --> 00:03:26,519 Speaker 1: a dramatic fourth quarter rally uh the end three win 68 00:03:26,680 --> 00:03:31,880 Speaker 1: over the Seahawks at the Clink. Gregg, the Panthers are 69 00:03:32,080 --> 00:03:36,640 Speaker 1: six and oh, am I correct, that is incorrect. The 70 00:03:36,680 --> 00:03:39,040 Speaker 1: Panthers are five and oh the Seahawks are in deep, 71 00:03:39,080 --> 00:03:43,640 Speaker 1: deep trouble, which reality surprises you more the Panthers being undefeated. 72 00:03:43,880 --> 00:03:46,360 Speaker 1: I know they had an easy schedule early, but this 73 00:03:46,360 --> 00:03:49,560 Speaker 1: this proved they're a different sort of Panthers team. And 74 00:03:49,600 --> 00:03:51,760 Speaker 1: I know Cam Newton's had some nice moments in his career. 75 00:03:51,800 --> 00:03:53,640 Speaker 1: He had a game winning drive to beat the Saints 76 00:03:53,680 --> 00:03:56,160 Speaker 1: to win the NFC South in two thousand thirteen. He 77 00:03:56,240 --> 00:03:58,600 Speaker 1: beat the Patriots on Monday Night Football ones. I thought 78 00:03:58,640 --> 00:04:01,080 Speaker 1: this was the most impressive thing I've ever seen from 79 00:04:01,160 --> 00:04:03,800 Speaker 1: Cam Newton. To be down twenty to seven in the 80 00:04:03,800 --> 00:04:08,280 Speaker 1: second half, against his Seahawks to be down going midway 81 00:04:08,320 --> 00:04:10,840 Speaker 1: through the fourth quarter and rip off two straight e 82 00:04:11,000 --> 00:04:13,760 Speaker 1: D yard drives. And these weren't cheap drives where he's 83 00:04:13,760 --> 00:04:17,800 Speaker 1: getting penalties and running. He's throwing lasers down the heart 84 00:04:17,839 --> 00:04:21,520 Speaker 1: of their defense, passed their legion of boom into tight windows. 85 00:04:21,680 --> 00:04:24,560 Speaker 1: He was just razor sharp when it mattered most. And 86 00:04:24,600 --> 00:04:26,839 Speaker 1: I am watching this game and I'm thinking which quarterback 87 00:04:26,880 --> 00:04:28,200 Speaker 1: do I want at the end of games right now? 88 00:04:28,240 --> 00:04:31,040 Speaker 1: Cam Newton and Russell Wilson. I want Cam Newton. I mean, 89 00:04:31,040 --> 00:04:33,520 Speaker 1: based on this season, there's there's not a lot of 90 00:04:33,520 --> 00:04:36,440 Speaker 1: the debate the legitimate MVP candidate at the stage of 91 00:04:36,480 --> 00:04:38,839 Speaker 1: the season right I don't think so in the season 92 00:04:38,839 --> 00:04:41,000 Speaker 1: where Tom Brady and Aaron Rodgers have played this well, 93 00:04:41,040 --> 00:04:43,080 Speaker 1: because I don't think it's fair. I don't think it's 94 00:04:43,080 --> 00:04:45,080 Speaker 1: fair to them. Andy Dalton, I'd thrown there too, because 95 00:04:45,080 --> 00:04:47,320 Speaker 1: I don't think Cam has been that great each and 96 00:04:47,360 --> 00:04:49,760 Speaker 1: every week. But that's not taking anything away from what 97 00:04:49,800 --> 00:04:53,120 Speaker 1: he did. Whenever they absolutely needed a drive, they did it. 98 00:04:53,120 --> 00:04:55,159 Speaker 1: It was a d yard drives, four of them in 99 00:04:55,200 --> 00:04:57,640 Speaker 1: the game. In their other whole nine drives, they only 100 00:04:57,680 --> 00:04:59,360 Speaker 1: had sixty three yards so it was. It was an 101 00:04:59,400 --> 00:05:01,800 Speaker 1: uneven game like that. We talked on the last show 102 00:05:01,839 --> 00:05:03,880 Speaker 1: about you know, listen, Caroline is going to have to 103 00:05:03,920 --> 00:05:06,880 Speaker 1: have one of these signature wins before we take them 104 00:05:06,880 --> 00:05:12,839 Speaker 1: seriously because it's all fair. But is this actually that win? 105 00:05:13,240 --> 00:05:16,200 Speaker 1: Is this Seattle team that good? Is it well? Because 106 00:05:16,240 --> 00:05:18,640 Speaker 1: all they all these losses have been by one scores, 107 00:05:18,839 --> 00:05:21,400 Speaker 1: two pretty good teams, and they looked very good for 108 00:05:21,480 --> 00:05:22,880 Speaker 1: most of the day, just like they did last week. 109 00:05:22,880 --> 00:05:24,359 Speaker 1: And the games they're losing, I mean, there's to the 110 00:05:24,400 --> 00:05:26,200 Speaker 1: Bengals at the end, it's to the Packers in the 111 00:05:26,200 --> 00:05:28,839 Speaker 1: fourth quarter, it's to the Panthers, And just watching it, 112 00:05:28,880 --> 00:05:31,320 Speaker 1: I didn't think the Seahawks gave this game away. Granted, 113 00:05:31,360 --> 00:05:33,760 Speaker 1: they made a big mistake maybe we'll talk about that 114 00:05:34,000 --> 00:05:36,360 Speaker 1: on the last play where Greg Olsen scored. There was 115 00:05:36,440 --> 00:05:40,040 Speaker 1: some sort of miscommunication between Richard Sherman and Earl Thomas, 116 00:05:40,040 --> 00:05:42,440 Speaker 1: But other than that, the Panthers earned everything they got. 117 00:05:42,480 --> 00:05:44,960 Speaker 1: And even if the Seahawks going the tank this year 118 00:05:45,000 --> 00:05:47,080 Speaker 1: and finished seven and nine at this stage of the 119 00:05:47,120 --> 00:05:49,960 Speaker 1: season going into today, it was still understood to be 120 00:05:50,080 --> 00:05:53,039 Speaker 1: very difficult to win West in that spot, and the 121 00:05:53,120 --> 00:05:55,880 Speaker 1: Carolina Panthers went in there and did it, And to me, 122 00:05:55,960 --> 00:05:58,560 Speaker 1: it's like, now you could legitimately worry about the Seahawks 123 00:05:58,560 --> 00:06:01,440 Speaker 1: teamum My, right, I I'm not that worried about there. 124 00:06:01,839 --> 00:06:04,080 Speaker 1: They're one of four teams with a losing record and 125 00:06:04,160 --> 00:06:07,680 Speaker 1: a positive point differential. They have the talented roster, they've 126 00:06:07,680 --> 00:06:11,120 Speaker 1: got good coaching well in the Cardinals, so you so 127 00:06:11,440 --> 00:06:13,240 Speaker 1: it's gonna be tough there now too, there's still two 128 00:06:13,320 --> 00:06:15,880 Speaker 1: games behind the Cardinals, so that's a problem. It's gonna 129 00:06:15,880 --> 00:06:18,680 Speaker 1: be tougher to win three road games potentially if they 130 00:06:18,720 --> 00:06:20,280 Speaker 1: don't win this division. When you're at two and four, 131 00:06:20,320 --> 00:06:22,159 Speaker 1: it's gonna be harder to win your division. None of 132 00:06:22,160 --> 00:06:24,200 Speaker 1: that bothers me. We were at a similar place last 133 00:06:24,240 --> 00:06:26,920 Speaker 1: year at this time, and the Seahawks got everyone, got 134 00:06:26,960 --> 00:06:29,279 Speaker 1: everyone back, became the most dominant team in the league. 135 00:06:29,480 --> 00:06:31,880 Speaker 1: I just I look at their roster and their coaching staff, 136 00:06:31,920 --> 00:06:35,839 Speaker 1: and I think and basically their results, they've fourth quarters, 137 00:06:35,880 --> 00:06:37,360 Speaker 1: they haven't come through, but that doesn't mean they're not 138 00:06:37,400 --> 00:06:39,040 Speaker 1: a good team. By with you, I don't think it's 139 00:06:39,040 --> 00:06:41,520 Speaker 1: time to panic. It is positive. Also to look at 140 00:06:41,520 --> 00:06:43,640 Speaker 1: what Jimmy Graham did today, it sound like you finally 141 00:06:43,680 --> 00:06:46,160 Speaker 1: had the game that we thought he'd have from wire 142 00:06:46,160 --> 00:06:48,200 Speaker 1: to wire with this team. That's fine that, you know, 143 00:06:48,240 --> 00:06:49,960 Speaker 1: Graham did have his best game in the year. But 144 00:06:50,240 --> 00:06:52,400 Speaker 1: and what you're gonna hear this week, people are gonna 145 00:06:52,480 --> 00:06:54,440 Speaker 1: because I felt like there were two many excuses made 146 00:06:54,720 --> 00:06:57,560 Speaker 1: for the defense last week and their meltdown against Cincinnati. 147 00:06:57,760 --> 00:06:59,960 Speaker 1: They said, offense isn't take enough time off the clock 148 00:07:00,360 --> 00:07:03,080 Speaker 1: in your building with the lead coming off that terrible 149 00:07:03,120 --> 00:07:05,800 Speaker 1: loss last week, You've gotta finish. You gotta finish the 150 00:07:05,800 --> 00:07:08,520 Speaker 1: game and the Seattle just like in the super Bowl, 151 00:07:08,520 --> 00:07:10,680 Speaker 1: and they couldn't close it out. They could not close 152 00:07:10,760 --> 00:07:13,480 Speaker 1: this game out. And against the Panthers, which you know, 153 00:07:13,640 --> 00:07:16,160 Speaker 1: Cam Newton's playing great, he played great today, but that 154 00:07:16,200 --> 00:07:18,760 Speaker 1: they made Cam Newton the Panthers look like the best 155 00:07:18,800 --> 00:07:21,840 Speaker 1: offense ever when it's January and Doug Baldwin is honking 156 00:07:21,880 --> 00:07:25,240 Speaker 1: about everybody disrespecting them in October, he's talking to Dany 157 00:07:25,360 --> 00:07:29,960 Speaker 1: That's fine. I'm not going to be that guy. It's 158 00:07:30,000 --> 00:07:32,400 Speaker 1: a thing that they collapse late in games. It's a thing. 159 00:07:32,440 --> 00:07:35,560 Speaker 1: Their last five losses have now been games where they've 160 00:07:35,640 --> 00:07:37,920 Speaker 1: led in the fourth quarter. So far this season, I 161 00:07:37,960 --> 00:07:41,960 Speaker 1: think it's they've been outscored seventy six to seven in 162 00:07:42,080 --> 00:07:44,400 Speaker 1: the fourth quarter. So when they got to the fourth 163 00:07:44,480 --> 00:07:46,280 Speaker 1: quarter in the stadium there they put up you know, 164 00:07:46,360 --> 00:07:49,160 Speaker 1: fourth quarter, everyone starts going for everyone starts going crazy. 165 00:07:49,480 --> 00:07:50,920 Speaker 1: You know, here's our time. I think they got a 166 00:07:50,920 --> 00:07:53,840 Speaker 1: field goal to start off the quarter and everyone you 167 00:07:53,880 --> 00:07:56,960 Speaker 1: know in the building is thinking about it. They're talking 168 00:07:56,960 --> 00:07:58,680 Speaker 1: about it. And what do they do? They give up 169 00:07:58,680 --> 00:08:00,840 Speaker 1: to a d R drives to a team that has 170 00:08:00,960 --> 00:08:04,080 Speaker 1: one receiver. Devin fun just dropped me past it. Today. 171 00:08:04,160 --> 00:08:06,840 Speaker 1: Greg Olsen is having the best season of his career. 172 00:08:07,000 --> 00:08:09,200 Speaker 1: He have one receiver and a team that's not known 173 00:08:09,280 --> 00:08:11,760 Speaker 1: for throwing the ball, and they just go right down, 174 00:08:11,800 --> 00:08:13,600 Speaker 1: just like last week that the Bengals did. And they 175 00:08:13,640 --> 00:08:16,200 Speaker 1: do nothing on offense too well, it's bad, it's in 176 00:08:16,240 --> 00:08:18,280 Speaker 1: their head. But part of it last year and the 177 00:08:18,320 --> 00:08:20,600 Speaker 1: reason they were so dangerous was they can chew up 178 00:08:20,640 --> 00:08:22,760 Speaker 1: the clock and just beat you up with the running game. 179 00:08:22,800 --> 00:08:25,280 Speaker 1: And I know you wrote that Marshawn Lynch looked great 180 00:08:25,320 --> 00:08:28,160 Speaker 1: today looked a lot better. But still it's fifty four yards. 181 00:08:28,240 --> 00:08:30,040 Speaker 1: That's a that's a hundred yards lesson he'd have in 182 00:08:30,120 --> 00:08:32,280 Speaker 1: games last year at times. Yeah, they didn't get it 183 00:08:32,280 --> 00:08:33,800 Speaker 1: done on the ground. I just thought he looked good 184 00:08:33,840 --> 00:08:36,440 Speaker 1: on a few runs very close of he looked healthy. 185 00:08:36,800 --> 00:08:38,920 Speaker 1: But Jonathan Stewart was the better runner in this game. 186 00:08:38,960 --> 00:08:41,480 Speaker 1: He he that's encouraging. He fought through a lot of tackles. 187 00:08:41,960 --> 00:08:45,120 Speaker 1: He played really well. It's just got se darts from 188 00:08:45,160 --> 00:08:47,200 Speaker 1: that can. It's fun to see Panthers have a nine 189 00:08:47,240 --> 00:08:51,320 Speaker 1: game regular. Williams is a problem by the way too. 190 00:08:51,400 --> 00:08:53,440 Speaker 1: He's becoming more and more of a problem every week. 191 00:08:53,440 --> 00:08:54,760 Speaker 1: They tried to pick on him. I mean, he had 192 00:08:54,760 --> 00:08:56,760 Speaker 1: an up and down game, but he's becoming a problem 193 00:08:56,800 --> 00:08:59,319 Speaker 1: for that team. The Panthers deserve credit. I mean I 194 00:08:59,679 --> 00:09:02,160 Speaker 1: was one of probably many people that kind of wrote 195 00:09:02,200 --> 00:09:04,720 Speaker 1: them off as the weakest undefeated team early on. But 196 00:09:04,760 --> 00:09:07,360 Speaker 1: now you gotta take him seriously. That was a gut 197 00:09:07,440 --> 00:09:12,760 Speaker 1: checking another undefeated team, the Denver Broncos and Peyton Manning, 198 00:09:13,120 --> 00:09:15,240 Speaker 1: who has been carried by his defense this year. Let's 199 00:09:15,280 --> 00:09:17,360 Speaker 1: face it, they had to carry him again today. He 200 00:09:17,440 --> 00:09:20,719 Speaker 1: threw three more interceptions, including a pick six, but the 201 00:09:20,760 --> 00:09:25,920 Speaker 1: Broncos got a late Brendan mcmadis field goal in overtime 202 00:09:25,960 --> 00:09:30,880 Speaker 1: to escape with a win. Over the Cleveland Browns. Greg, 203 00:09:30,920 --> 00:09:32,920 Speaker 1: I'll throw this to you again. The Broncos are now 204 00:09:32,960 --> 00:09:35,880 Speaker 1: six and oh. But does any of this really matter? 205 00:09:36,160 --> 00:09:38,400 Speaker 1: If Peyton Manning is gonna be one of the five 206 00:09:38,440 --> 00:09:40,760 Speaker 1: worst quarterbacks in football, and honestly, I'm not in a 207 00:09:40,840 --> 00:09:42,960 Speaker 1: Joe King doesn't matter if if this is how Peyton 208 00:09:42,960 --> 00:09:47,600 Speaker 1: Manning is gonna be, yes, because one that assumes that 209 00:09:48,040 --> 00:09:50,560 Speaker 1: Peyton Manning will stay that way, and even if he 210 00:09:50,559 --> 00:09:52,920 Speaker 1: does stay that way, they at this rate, they're gonna 211 00:09:52,960 --> 00:09:55,000 Speaker 1: have a buy in the playoffs in a home game, 212 00:09:55,240 --> 00:09:58,320 Speaker 1: and the way this defense is playing, they're gonna have 213 00:09:58,360 --> 00:10:01,720 Speaker 1: a chance to win every week. It's crazy to watch 214 00:10:01,800 --> 00:10:04,880 Speaker 1: a Broncos team get worse and worse on offense each 215 00:10:04,920 --> 00:10:06,600 Speaker 1: week like this, though, I thought this is the week 216 00:10:06,600 --> 00:10:09,160 Speaker 1: where it finally ends. Joe Hayden is out, t Shaun 217 00:10:09,240 --> 00:10:11,240 Speaker 1: Gibson is out. This is one of the worst five 218 00:10:11,360 --> 00:10:14,440 Speaker 1: or six defenses in the league. And yet I would 219 00:10:14,440 --> 00:10:17,120 Speaker 1: say this was the worst game Peyton Manning had all season. 220 00:10:17,160 --> 00:10:19,520 Speaker 1: He did have a few good throws, That's the thing. 221 00:10:19,520 --> 00:10:21,480 Speaker 1: People say, like he can't throw the ball anywere He 222 00:10:21,520 --> 00:10:23,480 Speaker 1: had three or four really good throws. But he keeps 223 00:10:23,559 --> 00:10:26,400 Speaker 1: making the mental errors. He should have lost this game 224 00:10:26,440 --> 00:10:27,959 Speaker 1: a million times. And it was on the Browns that 225 00:10:28,000 --> 00:10:31,240 Speaker 1: they didn't take his reaction after the third pick mark 226 00:10:31,559 --> 00:10:34,640 Speaker 1: when Peyton he like grabbed at his face mask and 227 00:10:34,640 --> 00:10:36,760 Speaker 1: it was like he almost couldn't believe it. If you're 228 00:10:36,760 --> 00:10:38,480 Speaker 1: watching on YouTube, you could see it here, like he 229 00:10:38,480 --> 00:10:41,520 Speaker 1: couldn't even believe that he's making these errors. It's because 230 00:10:41,559 --> 00:10:44,640 Speaker 1: helegraph throws. Their mental errors, and Damarius Thomas did not 231 00:10:44,679 --> 00:10:47,000 Speaker 1: help him at all in fourth quarter or overtime too 232 00:10:47,080 --> 00:10:50,120 Speaker 1: terrible drops. But Manning his remains the problem, and yet 233 00:10:50,240 --> 00:10:53,280 Speaker 1: they're still undefeating. Greg nailed at Cleveland, came into the 234 00:10:53,320 --> 00:10:55,840 Speaker 1: game with I think one interceptional season. They're not a 235 00:10:55,880 --> 00:10:58,880 Speaker 1: team that last year they were delivering turnovers, they're not 236 00:10:58,960 --> 00:11:01,040 Speaker 1: this year. And of them to pick on him the 237 00:11:01,040 --> 00:11:03,240 Speaker 1: way they did, it was almost like and I was 238 00:11:03,280 --> 00:11:04,959 Speaker 1: sort of watching this off to the corner of my eye. 239 00:11:05,040 --> 00:11:07,319 Speaker 1: I was covering a different game, but you were almost 240 00:11:07,320 --> 00:11:10,320 Speaker 1: counting on on Manning making another blunder. It's like every 241 00:11:10,360 --> 00:11:13,000 Speaker 1: couple he just kept doing it over and over and 242 00:11:13,080 --> 00:11:16,280 Speaker 1: throwing bizarre and completions as well. He missed some throws 243 00:11:16,320 --> 00:11:17,720 Speaker 1: by a lot. I don't know if it was the 244 00:11:17,760 --> 00:11:20,319 Speaker 1: weather he had the glove on. I mean it was 245 00:11:20,400 --> 00:11:23,000 Speaker 1: under fifty degrees. That's the first time this you know, season, 246 00:11:23,080 --> 00:11:25,480 Speaker 1: for a Manning game he was off target. He also, 247 00:11:25,559 --> 00:11:27,720 Speaker 1: like I said, made some big, big throws. But this 248 00:11:27,800 --> 00:11:29,480 Speaker 1: is something we are relying on at every week. He 249 00:11:29,520 --> 00:11:31,600 Speaker 1: leads the league in interceptions. I mean, that's who he 250 00:11:31,679 --> 00:11:34,160 Speaker 1: is right now. That's why I sat with Marco on this. 251 00:11:34,200 --> 00:11:36,040 Speaker 1: Come playoff time, I don't think you can just trot 252 00:11:36,080 --> 00:11:37,760 Speaker 1: the defense out there and say they're gonna win. Now. 253 00:11:37,760 --> 00:11:39,880 Speaker 1: They have to get their Their opponents this year are 254 00:11:39,880 --> 00:11:42,440 Speaker 1: combined ten and twenty four. They're gonna be facing a 255 00:11:42,440 --> 00:11:45,320 Speaker 1: lot better teams in the playoffs. And are you counting 256 00:11:45,320 --> 00:11:47,560 Speaker 1: the Broncos wins and that that's not that's not fair. 257 00:11:47,559 --> 00:11:50,600 Speaker 1: When people do that, you get the point. Make a 258 00:11:50,640 --> 00:11:53,960 Speaker 1: ten and twenty they're bad teams. But you know this 259 00:11:54,040 --> 00:11:56,679 Speaker 1: is he's my new litmus test guy Jordy Nelson used 260 00:11:56,679 --> 00:11:59,160 Speaker 1: to be the litmus test. If you're watching football games, 261 00:11:59,200 --> 00:12:01,200 Speaker 1: you know he's great. Who are they going to trot 262 00:12:01,240 --> 00:12:03,560 Speaker 1: out next week to argue against you on on NFL 263 00:12:03,600 --> 00:12:06,839 Speaker 1: network Someone who's not watching games and insists Manning is 264 00:12:06,840 --> 00:12:11,880 Speaker 1: a good quarterback, and they're they're telling us what they 265 00:12:11,880 --> 00:12:13,880 Speaker 1: think of him with the play calling, with these runs 266 00:12:13,880 --> 00:12:16,120 Speaker 1: on third and long and all the third down throws 267 00:12:16,120 --> 00:12:17,760 Speaker 1: are short of the sticks and they're just hoping for 268 00:12:18,040 --> 00:12:20,439 Speaker 1: yards after contact. And one of the big arguments has 269 00:12:20,480 --> 00:12:22,520 Speaker 1: been the offensive line is not playing well and the 270 00:12:22,600 --> 00:12:25,080 Speaker 1: running games not playing well. He was protected fine. The 271 00:12:25,120 --> 00:12:27,679 Speaker 1: Browns did not have much of a pass rush today. Uh, 272 00:12:27,800 --> 00:12:30,040 Speaker 1: the running game was good throughout. They really gave the 273 00:12:30,040 --> 00:12:32,960 Speaker 1: ball to Ronnie Hillman as the primary back for most 274 00:12:33,000 --> 00:12:34,760 Speaker 1: of the game, and that was how they were moving 275 00:12:34,800 --> 00:12:36,920 Speaker 1: the ball. He was good and C. J. Anderson did 276 00:12:36,920 --> 00:12:39,439 Speaker 1: all the work in the overtime drive. This from Ronnie 277 00:12:39,480 --> 00:12:42,160 Speaker 1: Hillman on social media after the game. You need to 278 00:12:42,160 --> 00:12:45,280 Speaker 1: get off Peyton. That's our QB bottom line. You fake fans. 279 00:12:45,320 --> 00:12:48,600 Speaker 1: Don't say anything when he's winning us the game. S MH, 280 00:12:49,040 --> 00:12:53,800 Speaker 1: which means mark what shaking my head? That's what he's doing. 281 00:12:53,960 --> 00:12:56,400 Speaker 1: It's like, it's one of the dumbest, one of the 282 00:12:56,559 --> 00:13:00,360 Speaker 1: dumbest things online because it just I don't know what 283 00:13:00,559 --> 00:13:02,480 Speaker 1: I don't need to and there are a lot of 284 00:13:02,520 --> 00:13:04,880 Speaker 1: dumb things online. I agree with you on that. I Also, 285 00:13:05,240 --> 00:13:07,400 Speaker 1: I don't need to hear that these players every week 286 00:13:07,559 --> 00:13:10,240 Speaker 1: telling the fans what to do and who's fake and 287 00:13:10,280 --> 00:13:12,840 Speaker 1: who's real. It's like fans can boo or get on 288 00:13:12,880 --> 00:13:15,760 Speaker 1: a player when he's struggling as mightily as Peyton mannings 289 00:13:15,800 --> 00:13:18,440 Speaker 1: Mark were you were you s m Chen? You know 290 00:13:18,520 --> 00:13:21,920 Speaker 1: after that Josh McCown interception, because we should talk about 291 00:13:21,920 --> 00:13:23,800 Speaker 1: the brown side of thing. They had the ball past 292 00:13:23,920 --> 00:13:27,280 Speaker 1: midfield at the end of regulation, Josh McCown to a 293 00:13:27,280 --> 00:13:31,000 Speaker 1: big interception. They picked off Manning and overtime and had 294 00:13:31,000 --> 00:13:32,920 Speaker 1: the ball around the forty at that point they only 295 00:13:32,920 --> 00:13:34,880 Speaker 1: needed what five yards to get into It went back 296 00:13:35,400 --> 00:13:38,000 Speaker 1: and they went back back backwards. What are you feeling about, 297 00:13:38,040 --> 00:13:39,800 Speaker 1: Josh McCown Right, Well, it was like the reverse of 298 00:13:39,840 --> 00:13:44,880 Speaker 1: a Raffle copter about that because it listens. It just 299 00:13:44,920 --> 00:13:48,240 Speaker 1: seemed like Cleveland. We talked about this way with the Jaguars, 300 00:13:48,280 --> 00:13:51,720 Speaker 1: where you start to see hints of a team developing, 301 00:13:51,760 --> 00:13:53,800 Speaker 1: but they don't have the d n A from the 302 00:13:53,880 --> 00:13:56,320 Speaker 1: coach on down on how to win these kind of games. 303 00:13:56,679 --> 00:13:58,960 Speaker 1: Cleveland did last week, but that was the Ravens and 304 00:13:59,000 --> 00:14:01,360 Speaker 1: we found out they were just a good team. It's 305 00:14:01,880 --> 00:14:04,960 Speaker 1: Browns fans are still expecting that mistake to happen and 306 00:14:04,960 --> 00:14:07,840 Speaker 1: then got until that changes. This is a typical type 307 00:14:07,840 --> 00:14:09,760 Speaker 1: of Brown's loss. As bad as Manning wasn't this game, 308 00:14:09,840 --> 00:14:11,880 Speaker 1: Josh McCown was worse. And that was one He said 309 00:14:11,880 --> 00:14:13,400 Speaker 1: he was trying to throw the ball out of bounds, 310 00:14:13,400 --> 00:14:16,080 Speaker 1: which makes more sense than what just throwing it up 311 00:14:16,080 --> 00:14:18,520 Speaker 1: for grabs, which he did. But he makes those plays 312 00:14:18,640 --> 00:14:20,840 Speaker 1: where he's surrounded by guys and he just throws it 313 00:14:20,920 --> 00:14:22,840 Speaker 1: high up in the air. He was also facing a 314 00:14:22,920 --> 00:14:27,520 Speaker 1: much more difficult defense. Was this the best game and 315 00:14:27,600 --> 00:14:31,960 Speaker 1: offenses played against Denver? Now? I I they had a 316 00:14:31,960 --> 00:14:34,200 Speaker 1: ton of drives. I'd love to go look quickly, but 317 00:14:34,240 --> 00:14:36,600 Speaker 1: they the fact as they were going three and ounce 318 00:14:36,600 --> 00:14:37,920 Speaker 1: back and forth the whole game. They didn't even get 319 00:14:37,920 --> 00:14:40,600 Speaker 1: three hundred yards in this game on fifteen drives something 320 00:14:40,640 --> 00:14:43,960 Speaker 1: like that. So the Panthers and Broncos remained perfect, as 321 00:14:44,040 --> 00:14:48,920 Speaker 1: do Chris Westling the Cincinnati ben Gals. Andy Dalton threw 322 00:14:48,960 --> 00:14:53,120 Speaker 1: three touchdown passes a thirty four one victory over the 323 00:14:53,160 --> 00:14:57,040 Speaker 1: Buffalo Bills in Orchard Park. West A J. Green neutralized 324 00:14:57,040 --> 00:15:00,680 Speaker 1: in this game, and yet Andy Dalton's still thrive. There's 325 00:15:00,680 --> 00:15:03,240 Speaker 1: something different going on here, isn't there. Yeah, when I 326 00:15:03,240 --> 00:15:05,360 Speaker 1: think about this game, I think of two things. One, 327 00:15:05,560 --> 00:15:07,880 Speaker 1: how loaded the Bengals roster is that they really have 328 00:15:07,920 --> 00:15:11,119 Speaker 1: no weak points, and two that the Bill's defense is overrated. 329 00:15:11,520 --> 00:15:14,160 Speaker 1: M the Bengals offense. I mean, everybody talks about the 330 00:15:14,200 --> 00:15:17,000 Speaker 1: Cowboys offensive behind Andy Dalton never gets touched. He has 331 00:15:17,040 --> 00:15:19,680 Speaker 1: all day back there to pick defenses apart. And then 332 00:15:19,720 --> 00:15:21,840 Speaker 1: when you take away a J Green, because the Bills 333 00:15:21,840 --> 00:15:24,480 Speaker 1: do take away number one wide receivers, that's what their 334 00:15:24,480 --> 00:15:27,640 Speaker 1: defense does. But Marvin Jones has Marvin Jones has a 335 00:15:27,640 --> 00:15:30,240 Speaker 1: great game. Tyler I Ford is a great red zone weapon. 336 00:15:30,640 --> 00:15:33,200 Speaker 1: Geo Bernard picked up a bunch of first downs. They 337 00:15:33,200 --> 00:15:36,880 Speaker 1: have so many weapons. And Mario Williams came out and 338 00:15:37,080 --> 00:15:39,360 Speaker 1: kind of questioned the defense a little bit and the 339 00:15:39,360 --> 00:15:43,120 Speaker 1: scheme itself, which is funny because two seasons ago, with 340 00:15:43,160 --> 00:15:45,920 Speaker 1: a similar scheme under Mike Petton, they sent a franchise 341 00:15:45,960 --> 00:15:48,840 Speaker 1: record for sacks. They had a ton of sacks last season, 342 00:15:49,200 --> 00:15:51,520 Speaker 1: and they have something they're very low right now. They're 343 00:15:51,560 --> 00:15:54,040 Speaker 1: just after nine sacks on the season and market to 344 00:15:54,080 --> 00:15:56,080 Speaker 1: the corn like he you know, he set the record 345 00:15:56,120 --> 00:15:59,520 Speaker 1: for dropping back into coverage. Look any any coverage that 346 00:15:59,600 --> 00:16:02,080 Speaker 1: you have Mario Williams in it, and they're only rushing three. 347 00:16:02,200 --> 00:16:04,760 Speaker 1: You can understand why that front four, which is so good, 348 00:16:05,040 --> 00:16:07,160 Speaker 1: is going to be frustrated. They think Rex is out 349 00:16:07,160 --> 00:16:10,120 Speaker 1: smarty himself. And more importantly, Kyle Williams left with a 350 00:16:10,160 --> 00:16:12,280 Speaker 1: knee injury. It looked like it might be serious. It 351 00:16:12,360 --> 00:16:14,760 Speaker 1: sounds like he won't make the trip. They're they're leaving 352 00:16:15,000 --> 00:16:18,200 Speaker 1: as we speak. They're leaving Sunday night for London. It 353 00:16:18,200 --> 00:16:21,000 Speaker 1: sounds like Kyle Williams will be staying home, which is 354 00:16:21,000 --> 00:16:23,400 Speaker 1: a big loss. And the Bills are now three and three, 355 00:16:24,080 --> 00:16:27,760 Speaker 1: And in a weird way, it's a sneaky, maybe blessing 356 00:16:27,760 --> 00:16:32,000 Speaker 1: in disguise, because there was these strange reports before the game, 357 00:16:32,040 --> 00:16:35,400 Speaker 1: one from rap sheet um that e J Manuel had 358 00:16:35,400 --> 00:16:37,320 Speaker 1: a chance to hold on to the starting job if 359 00:16:37,320 --> 00:16:40,240 Speaker 1: he played well in this game, which I didn't get 360 00:16:40,280 --> 00:16:42,080 Speaker 1: a chance to see every one of the snaps in 361 00:16:42,160 --> 00:16:44,160 Speaker 1: this game, but it doesn't appear that Manuel have the 362 00:16:44,160 --> 00:16:46,880 Speaker 1: type of game that would lead to a quarterback controversy. 363 00:16:46,920 --> 00:16:49,360 Speaker 1: But that's you know, you didn't want any of that 364 00:16:49,600 --> 00:16:51,400 Speaker 1: leaking out there. You didn't want any of the discussion, 365 00:16:51,440 --> 00:16:54,120 Speaker 1: whether it's real or manufactured in the media by or 366 00:16:54,160 --> 00:16:57,280 Speaker 1: by an agent or by a GM that has other interests. 367 00:16:57,440 --> 00:16:59,960 Speaker 1: But that's just bad news. So Manuel not playing well 368 00:17:00,040 --> 00:17:01,880 Speaker 1: and put that to bed. It's kind of a good 369 00:17:01,880 --> 00:17:03,720 Speaker 1: thing to come out of a bad loss. It's totally 370 00:17:03,720 --> 00:17:06,480 Speaker 1: disruptive and it begs the question of have we have 371 00:17:06,800 --> 00:17:10,000 Speaker 1: the people inside the team not watched Tyrod Taylor and 372 00:17:10,040 --> 00:17:12,400 Speaker 1: the great not like something about him if it came 373 00:17:12,480 --> 00:17:15,719 Speaker 1: from the team, how did how did Manuel look? He's terrible. 374 00:17:15,760 --> 00:17:18,680 Speaker 1: I mean, his fall placement is just among the worst 375 00:17:18,720 --> 00:17:21,960 Speaker 1: you'll ever see. His decision making is bad. They went 376 00:17:22,040 --> 00:17:24,960 Speaker 1: three four or four and for three an ounce in 377 00:17:24,960 --> 00:17:27,000 Speaker 1: the first half when Andy Dalton was running away with 378 00:17:27,000 --> 00:17:30,560 Speaker 1: the game. I don't know why. What was the point 379 00:17:30,560 --> 00:17:35,920 Speaker 1: of that report? I mean, you lessen Taylor, Taylor's leadership 380 00:17:36,080 --> 00:17:40,040 Speaker 1: on the team. Under your starter, it's supposed to be 381 00:17:40,040 --> 00:17:43,560 Speaker 1: pumping up b J. Manuel, and it's it's someone that 382 00:17:43,720 --> 00:17:46,360 Speaker 1: really believes that if you're pumping up EJ. Manuel, you're 383 00:17:46,359 --> 00:17:48,719 Speaker 1: not doing it two hours before game time on a Sunday, 384 00:17:48,720 --> 00:17:51,119 Speaker 1: where e J m the cost of your starter and 385 00:17:51,160 --> 00:17:53,439 Speaker 1: it's you know, It's funny because like Greg Roman in 386 00:17:53,480 --> 00:17:56,399 Speaker 1: San Francisco, they made a switch at quarterback during the 387 00:17:56,400 --> 00:17:59,880 Speaker 1: season after spending so much time in practice with Colin Kaepernick. 388 00:18:00,000 --> 00:18:01,960 Speaker 1: We don't know what they're seeing behind the scenes. Well 389 00:18:02,000 --> 00:18:04,680 Speaker 1: they don't. They don't like it that the Taylor doesn't 390 00:18:04,680 --> 00:18:07,240 Speaker 1: see Sammy Watkins because he's short. He's a short quarterback, 391 00:18:07,240 --> 00:18:09,600 Speaker 1: but maybe he just doesn't see the field well in general, 392 00:18:09,680 --> 00:18:13,520 Speaker 1: you know what that's if that's his his biggest evil. 393 00:18:13,840 --> 00:18:20,879 Speaker 1: It's about and Sammy Watkins touched that catch. They got 394 00:18:20,960 --> 00:18:23,720 Speaker 1: hurt again on crutches after the half, and it's just like, 395 00:18:24,000 --> 00:18:25,119 Speaker 1: you know, this guy can come out and ask for 396 00:18:25,160 --> 00:18:26,560 Speaker 1: the ball and you gotta stay on the field to 397 00:18:26,720 --> 00:18:29,200 Speaker 1: the worst thing this could be this could be would 398 00:18:29,200 --> 00:18:31,880 Speaker 1: be it would be Doug Walley who put his job 399 00:18:31,920 --> 00:18:33,960 Speaker 1: on the line by going to get Watkins and then 400 00:18:34,040 --> 00:18:37,240 Speaker 1: him reacting to Watkins going to the media about needing 401 00:18:37,240 --> 00:18:39,560 Speaker 1: the ball and that leading to this issue with the 402 00:18:39,640 --> 00:18:42,679 Speaker 1: quarterback situation. Just you hope it's not that, because that 403 00:18:42,760 --> 00:18:45,280 Speaker 1: is as dysfunctional as it gets. It bothers me that 404 00:18:45,359 --> 00:18:48,119 Speaker 1: this is even an issue that they would leak that report. 405 00:18:48,320 --> 00:18:51,119 Speaker 1: It just Tyrod Taylor is such a better quarterback than 406 00:18:51,160 --> 00:18:54,000 Speaker 1: he's been great before we move on. In your piece, 407 00:18:54,040 --> 00:18:57,560 Speaker 1: you called Andy Dalton a legitimate m VP candidate. Chris 408 00:18:57,600 --> 00:19:02,439 Speaker 1: wesleyn is it time to junk the Dalton scale the 409 00:19:02,520 --> 00:19:05,840 Speaker 1: measurement whereas each quarterback in the league is measured by 410 00:19:05,880 --> 00:19:09,200 Speaker 1: Andy Dalton the prime me Riddian. Of course, way with 411 00:19:09,280 --> 00:19:11,680 Speaker 1: the way he's playing now, is it time to junk? 412 00:19:11,960 --> 00:19:14,240 Speaker 1: I think we need more than a six game samples. Okay. 413 00:19:14,359 --> 00:19:16,240 Speaker 1: The one thing I'd say, though, is one thing that 414 00:19:16,280 --> 00:19:18,479 Speaker 1: we thought about Dalton, because it was true on the 415 00:19:18,480 --> 00:19:20,600 Speaker 1: field up until the season, was that he hit his 416 00:19:20,640 --> 00:19:23,040 Speaker 1: ceiling the minute he entered the league, that there was 417 00:19:23,119 --> 00:19:26,120 Speaker 1: never a better version of Andy Dalton overall his seasons. 418 00:19:26,200 --> 00:19:29,000 Speaker 1: He is legitimately different quarterback this year. And I would 419 00:19:29,000 --> 00:19:31,879 Speaker 1: say the scale has to work to be functional, and 420 00:19:31,880 --> 00:19:33,639 Speaker 1: if it's not gonna work, if he goes thirteen in 421 00:19:33,640 --> 00:19:35,840 Speaker 1: three in place, that it might be something we evaluate 422 00:19:35,840 --> 00:19:38,080 Speaker 1: in the office. Sure, right, And I think team big 423 00:19:38,160 --> 00:19:40,359 Speaker 1: owners meetings that we have all of what you said 424 00:19:40,480 --> 00:19:43,120 Speaker 1: is true that he has been better that year, noticeably, 425 00:19:43,160 --> 00:19:46,439 Speaker 1: he's shown improvement. But I think where I stand and 426 00:19:46,440 --> 00:19:48,879 Speaker 1: where I stood all off season, it doesn't matter what 427 00:19:48,920 --> 00:19:52,080 Speaker 1: the Bengals do from September three, D I need to 428 00:19:52,080 --> 00:19:55,040 Speaker 1: see it in January. Um T D thinks the body 429 00:19:55,119 --> 00:19:57,440 Speaker 1: language is better on and Dalton, But I think I 430 00:19:56,840 --> 00:19:59,720 Speaker 1: think I think it's the hair. Yeah, but that's but 431 00:19:59,800 --> 00:20:01,760 Speaker 1: you're when you have good hair and you know this 432 00:20:01,920 --> 00:20:03,879 Speaker 1: dand you're just feeling good from head to tell you, 433 00:20:03,920 --> 00:20:06,680 Speaker 1: I never feel myself until the product is in there 434 00:20:06,680 --> 00:20:08,680 Speaker 1: you go and that that's a Dan ritual. He comes 435 00:20:08,720 --> 00:20:10,520 Speaker 1: into the office. First thing he does, put a little 436 00:20:10,640 --> 00:20:12,840 Speaker 1: jail in this hair and then man, its you have 437 00:20:13,240 --> 00:20:15,440 Speaker 1: like an aura around you, like a pregnant lady where 438 00:20:15,440 --> 00:20:17,720 Speaker 1: you just feel something good is going to happen with you. 439 00:20:18,080 --> 00:20:20,760 Speaker 1: Everything you just said is accurate. Moving on that you're 440 00:20:20,800 --> 00:20:24,359 Speaker 1: a pregnant lady. Yeah, I'm prego im do. At the 441 00:20:24,440 --> 00:20:29,560 Speaker 1: end of the month, I'm taking along with another undefeated team, 442 00:20:29,600 --> 00:20:32,000 Speaker 1: the Green Bay Packers. They will go into their bye 443 00:20:32,000 --> 00:20:34,960 Speaker 1: week without a loss. Aaron Rodgers looked human for the 444 00:20:34,960 --> 00:20:38,360 Speaker 1: second straight week and Philip rivers through for five hundred 445 00:20:38,640 --> 00:20:42,159 Speaker 1: and three yards uh and also has another kid on 446 00:20:42,160 --> 00:20:45,320 Speaker 1: the way. That's eight kids. Come on, that's a preschool 447 00:20:45,359 --> 00:20:48,400 Speaker 1: there and you know what, and he can obviously take 448 00:20:48,440 --> 00:20:51,479 Speaker 1: care of those kids a multi millionaire. But we got 449 00:20:51,520 --> 00:20:54,000 Speaker 1: a lot of people on this planet. We got an overpopulation. 450 00:20:56,520 --> 00:20:59,920 Speaker 1: By the way, beautiful transition from the pregnant woman conversation 451 00:21:00,359 --> 00:21:03,399 Speaker 1: to this, I would encourage Philip Rivers and his wife 452 00:21:03,440 --> 00:21:05,400 Speaker 1: to have a lot more kids because they can provide 453 00:21:05,400 --> 00:21:08,520 Speaker 1: for them and raise it. Says A says a man 454 00:21:08,560 --> 00:21:12,520 Speaker 1: who had seven brothers, six brothers. At a certain point, 455 00:21:12,560 --> 00:21:14,879 Speaker 1: it's rubbing in it a little bit like I'm that 456 00:21:15,040 --> 00:21:19,080 Speaker 1: potent anyway. So Riverence through for five three yards, but 457 00:21:19,119 --> 00:21:21,199 Speaker 1: Green Bay's defense got a goal line stop in the 458 00:21:21,240 --> 00:21:25,879 Speaker 1: final minute. They secure twenty win at Lambeau West. The Packers, 459 00:21:26,240 --> 00:21:28,359 Speaker 1: you know, they don't look so indestructible of late, but 460 00:21:28,520 --> 00:21:31,639 Speaker 1: results are results. Yeah, I think I think it might 461 00:21:31,640 --> 00:21:33,760 Speaker 1: have been you who said after week three or week four, 462 00:21:33,840 --> 00:21:35,880 Speaker 1: you can take away Jordy Nelson, you can take away 463 00:21:35,960 --> 00:21:38,000 Speaker 1: Eddie Lacey and Aaron Rodgers still plays like an m 464 00:21:38,080 --> 00:21:41,359 Speaker 1: v P. That was Packers keep right on ruling, and 465 00:21:41,720 --> 00:21:44,280 Speaker 1: I think we we saw like the breaking point the 466 00:21:44,359 --> 00:21:47,080 Speaker 1: last couple of weeks. You can, you can blame it 467 00:21:47,080 --> 00:21:49,040 Speaker 1: on Jordy Nelson, but it's not really you take away 468 00:21:49,080 --> 00:21:54,480 Speaker 1: Davante Adams, Andrew Corliss, Time Montgomery, Eddie Lacey is completely 469 00:21:54,520 --> 00:21:57,120 Speaker 1: ineffective because he's playing through an ankle injury or because 470 00:21:57,119 --> 00:21:59,480 Speaker 1: he's overweight, one or the other. But you've got all 471 00:21:59,480 --> 00:22:02,760 Speaker 1: these people around Aaron Rodgers, and then you've got he 472 00:22:02,800 --> 00:22:05,360 Speaker 1: can't make back shoulder throws to Jeff Jannis because they're 473 00:22:05,359 --> 00:22:09,080 Speaker 1: not on the same page. Rock Richard Rodgers isn't coming 474 00:22:09,119 --> 00:22:12,960 Speaker 1: down with with tight catch with catches in tight spaces. 475 00:22:13,240 --> 00:22:16,080 Speaker 1: Cobb is dropping passes. He's throwing like James Starks was 476 00:22:16,119 --> 00:22:19,280 Speaker 1: open for potential eight touchdown. But that's a tricky route 477 00:22:19,320 --> 00:22:22,280 Speaker 1: that James Starks is not used to running. Yeah, basically 478 00:22:22,520 --> 00:22:25,760 Speaker 1: his his number one, number three, and number four receivers 479 00:22:25,800 --> 00:22:27,639 Speaker 1: from August or are out of the line up, so 480 00:22:27,640 --> 00:22:29,600 Speaker 1: we throw into a bunch of guys. At one point, 481 00:22:29,600 --> 00:22:31,800 Speaker 1: he's throwing in a red zone. You came over my 482 00:22:31,840 --> 00:22:34,040 Speaker 1: desk and they show who's on the field is Jared 483 00:22:34,080 --> 00:22:36,720 Speaker 1: Edward Derris and some guy named Justin Perillo or something. 484 00:22:37,480 --> 00:22:40,120 Speaker 1: Those are his red zone weapons. Yeah, so I think 485 00:22:40,119 --> 00:22:42,720 Speaker 1: he can't for eight point eight yards per attempt today 486 00:22:42,760 --> 00:22:44,800 Speaker 1: and they and they scored twenty seven points and win 487 00:22:44,840 --> 00:22:47,240 Speaker 1: the game and stay undefeated. So that's the luxury of, 488 00:22:47,520 --> 00:22:50,679 Speaker 1: you know, being the pack What was it like to 489 00:22:50,720 --> 00:22:54,640 Speaker 1: watch Philip Rivers top his performance from Monday night when 490 00:22:54,680 --> 00:22:57,800 Speaker 1: he threw it for seven nine times or whatever, and 491 00:22:57,840 --> 00:23:00,560 Speaker 1: today through its sixty five times for five under the yards. 492 00:23:00,520 --> 00:23:03,600 Speaker 1: There's the real statistics. He was surgical against the defensive 493 00:23:03,600 --> 00:23:06,919 Speaker 1: Football outsiders ranked as number one in the NFL on 494 00:23:07,000 --> 00:23:09,760 Speaker 1: past defense. Now, the Packers hadn't really played any great 495 00:23:09,800 --> 00:23:12,960 Speaker 1: quarterbacks this year, so it's telling that Rivers did this 496 00:23:13,000 --> 00:23:16,240 Speaker 1: to him. But Stevie Johnson was inactive. Keenan Allen played 497 00:23:16,280 --> 00:23:18,240 Speaker 1: awesome for three quarters and then sat out the fourth 498 00:23:18,280 --> 00:23:23,000 Speaker 1: quarter with a hip injury. In three quarters, he and 499 00:23:23,080 --> 00:23:25,639 Speaker 1: he's his His performance might have been more impressive than 500 00:23:25,680 --> 00:23:29,560 Speaker 1: DeAndre Hopkins. He was making great catches. What is the 501 00:23:29,600 --> 00:23:33,760 Speaker 1: deal with Eddie Lacey? Three rushes off four carries and 502 00:23:33,880 --> 00:23:36,760 Speaker 1: James Starks just takes over. Well, I look at it 503 00:23:36,800 --> 00:23:38,840 Speaker 1: this way. We've seen Eddie Lacy when he's healthy, and 504 00:23:38,920 --> 00:23:41,919 Speaker 1: he's an excellent football player. So he's either outer shape 505 00:23:42,000 --> 00:23:43,959 Speaker 1: or unhealthy. We know he was a couple of weeks ago. 506 00:23:44,040 --> 00:23:45,880 Speaker 1: He's playing through an ankle injury, and when they played 507 00:23:45,960 --> 00:23:48,480 Speaker 1: James Starks as much over him. It suggests to me 508 00:23:48,520 --> 00:23:50,600 Speaker 1: they're just trying to get to the by get Eddie 509 00:23:50,640 --> 00:23:53,320 Speaker 1: Eddie Lacy healthy and then get him going. But he 510 00:23:53,400 --> 00:23:55,560 Speaker 1: did not look like himself. He looks sluggish and slow. 511 00:23:56,000 --> 00:23:59,000 Speaker 1: There's there's something about this Chargers team. I mean, they're 512 00:23:59,320 --> 00:24:02,680 Speaker 1: they're in the games there against the Packers and the Steelers, 513 00:24:02,680 --> 00:24:04,960 Speaker 1: but now they're at two and four. I mean, this 514 00:24:05,040 --> 00:24:07,320 Speaker 1: is a team that I don't know if they need 515 00:24:07,359 --> 00:24:10,520 Speaker 1: to make the playoffs to keep everyone there. But pretty 516 00:24:10,520 --> 00:24:13,080 Speaker 1: disappointing start for San Diego and they're not far away 517 00:24:13,080 --> 00:24:15,840 Speaker 1: from being one in five either or I guess a 518 00:24:15,840 --> 00:24:20,320 Speaker 1: better record based on every one of their games. Every 519 00:24:20,400 --> 00:24:23,240 Speaker 1: every team behind them, we cannot take seriously everybody in 520 00:24:23,280 --> 00:24:25,960 Speaker 1: front of them, we can. Okay, that's good. That checks out. Well. 521 00:24:26,000 --> 00:24:28,480 Speaker 1: You make cryptic statements like that, you're usually hiding some 522 00:24:28,560 --> 00:24:30,640 Speaker 1: kind of ina. I know, I said something last show 523 00:24:30,720 --> 00:24:33,439 Speaker 1: that I think McCoy there might be some talker that 524 00:24:33,440 --> 00:24:36,280 Speaker 1: they need to be a winning team or else he's gone. 525 00:24:37,040 --> 00:24:40,680 Speaker 1: Greg is secretly our podcast insider. You know why, because 526 00:24:40,680 --> 00:24:43,760 Speaker 1: Greg has this thing like all the insiders out there, 527 00:24:43,800 --> 00:24:47,000 Speaker 1: and he's got some sources within buildings. I think that 528 00:24:47,080 --> 00:24:49,399 Speaker 1: we don't know about. So whenever you see him texting, 529 00:24:49,400 --> 00:24:58,320 Speaker 1: he's always that information coming into him. Reputation unwarranted. Moving on, 530 00:24:58,440 --> 00:25:02,080 Speaker 1: Landry Jones through to a pair of touchdown passes to 531 00:25:02,240 --> 00:25:05,280 Speaker 1: Martavis Bryant in relief of an injured Michael Vick, and 532 00:25:05,280 --> 00:25:10,160 Speaker 1: the Pittsburgh Steelers came back from a deficit to over 533 00:25:10,760 --> 00:25:15,480 Speaker 1: the Arizona Cardinals. Mark you know, listen, Landry Jones a 534 00:25:15,560 --> 00:25:18,200 Speaker 1: nice little performance there, but losing to a big ben 535 00:25:18,280 --> 00:25:20,919 Speaker 1: free Steeler squad is no way for a team of 536 00:25:20,960 --> 00:25:23,800 Speaker 1: a t M to comport itself. It reminds me a 537 00:25:23,840 --> 00:25:26,520 Speaker 1: little bit of the way you described the Cardinals a 538 00:25:26,600 --> 00:25:29,520 Speaker 1: couple of weeks ago, where they absolutely dominated and on 539 00:25:29,600 --> 00:25:34,320 Speaker 1: every category statistically four and twenty one yards for Carson Palmer. 540 00:25:34,480 --> 00:25:36,240 Speaker 1: They were moving the ball up and down the field, 541 00:25:36,240 --> 00:25:39,040 Speaker 1: plenty of big plays, but they could not turn the 542 00:25:39,080 --> 00:25:42,040 Speaker 1: real estate into points. And I give the Steelers credit 543 00:25:42,080 --> 00:25:43,919 Speaker 1: for shutting down the run game for much of the 544 00:25:44,119 --> 00:25:46,680 Speaker 1: for much of the affair, and they just a couple 545 00:25:46,720 --> 00:25:49,720 Speaker 1: of big turnovers for for Arizona. I mean, you cannot, 546 00:25:50,280 --> 00:25:52,919 Speaker 1: you cannot on the road commit the turnovers and Carson 547 00:25:52,960 --> 00:25:55,520 Speaker 1: Palmer threw a killer pick at the end that really 548 00:25:55,560 --> 00:25:58,720 Speaker 1: put this game out of reach for them. Pittsburgh. It's 549 00:25:58,760 --> 00:26:00,320 Speaker 1: it was a very it was just one of the 550 00:26:00,359 --> 00:26:03,640 Speaker 1: stranger games I've seen all season. Clearly, if if if 551 00:26:03,640 --> 00:26:06,439 Speaker 1: you're without Big Bend next week, I would put Landry 552 00:26:06,480 --> 00:26:09,600 Speaker 1: Jones in over Mike Vick because what happened right away 553 00:26:10,080 --> 00:26:12,679 Speaker 1: was that the playbooks seemed to completely open up in 554 00:26:12,720 --> 00:26:16,280 Speaker 1: Arizona's defense responded differently to Landry Jones, who was taking 555 00:26:16,320 --> 00:26:19,000 Speaker 1: more shots down field. It opened up the run game 556 00:26:19,040 --> 00:26:21,879 Speaker 1: for Levian Bell, who was just seeing seven men in 557 00:26:21,920 --> 00:26:23,679 Speaker 1: the you know, in the box time after time. With 558 00:26:23,760 --> 00:26:26,960 Speaker 1: Vic on the field, it was completely ineffectual. So you know, 559 00:26:27,040 --> 00:26:29,280 Speaker 1: it's not a good situation for Pittsburgh, but it was 560 00:26:29,359 --> 00:26:33,240 Speaker 1: huge to come out of against the team they're not 561 00:26:33,400 --> 00:26:35,240 Speaker 1: They're they're not even close to being a better team 562 00:26:35,240 --> 00:26:38,280 Speaker 1: than Arizona, but they got it done. Then against the 563 00:26:38,320 --> 00:26:41,639 Speaker 1: top five team in your building without your quarterback, and 564 00:26:41,680 --> 00:26:43,600 Speaker 1: you actually go to your third string quarterback and you 565 00:26:43,640 --> 00:26:45,840 Speaker 1: get a win, your four and two now and you 566 00:26:45,880 --> 00:26:49,160 Speaker 1: could you can now withstand being without Raethlisberg for another week, 567 00:26:49,200 --> 00:26:51,040 Speaker 1: and there's a very good chance that happens and you're 568 00:26:51,040 --> 00:26:53,440 Speaker 1: gonna be okay. I mean, this was their biggest win 569 00:26:53,480 --> 00:26:56,840 Speaker 1: of the season easy. The fact that they've now ripped 570 00:26:56,840 --> 00:26:58,919 Speaker 1: off two of these against two decent teams, you know 571 00:26:58,960 --> 00:27:01,680 Speaker 1: in San Diego and a very good team in Arizona. 572 00:27:01,680 --> 00:27:03,320 Speaker 1: I mean that just makes me think, how good can 573 00:27:03,359 --> 00:27:05,879 Speaker 1: these Steelers be? You get Ryan sz Ear back, you 574 00:27:05,920 --> 00:27:08,400 Speaker 1: get Ben Roethlisberger back. It's like they're right back where 575 00:27:08,400 --> 00:27:10,280 Speaker 1: we thought they'd be before the season, which is as 576 00:27:10,320 --> 00:27:12,840 Speaker 1: one of the real Super Bowl. It is funny to watch, though, 577 00:27:12,920 --> 00:27:15,240 Speaker 1: what they have become and what they were with with 578 00:27:15,359 --> 00:27:18,000 Speaker 1: Vic on the field and no Big Ben one passing 579 00:27:18,080 --> 00:27:22,520 Speaker 1: yard in the first half that when you take we 580 00:27:22,600 --> 00:27:25,320 Speaker 1: talk m v P and you talk anything other than quarterback, 581 00:27:25,359 --> 00:27:28,159 Speaker 1: I don't listen anymore because this was another example that 582 00:27:28,200 --> 00:27:31,800 Speaker 1: when you take that one starter off the field at quarterback, 583 00:27:32,080 --> 00:27:36,320 Speaker 1: this was a completely average offense. Look at Martavis Bryant 584 00:27:36,359 --> 00:27:39,840 Speaker 1: runs wild today in Antonio. Brown didn't do much, but 585 00:27:40,160 --> 00:27:42,719 Speaker 1: I totally agree. The defense is much better than we 586 00:27:42,760 --> 00:27:45,760 Speaker 1: thought earlier in the season in August. And once you 587 00:27:45,800 --> 00:27:48,480 Speaker 1: get Big Ben back, you've got Martavis Bryant. Levi on 588 00:27:48,560 --> 00:27:51,760 Speaker 1: Belle Antonio Brown. That's a Super Bowl content in a 589 00:27:51,800 --> 00:27:54,640 Speaker 1: two team division now, and I think that everyone if 590 00:27:54,640 --> 00:27:57,960 Speaker 1: you do have your PS two somewhere in storage, you 591 00:27:58,000 --> 00:28:00,879 Speaker 1: can get that out, dusted out, plugging in see if 592 00:28:00,880 --> 00:28:03,959 Speaker 1: you can find matt in two thousand four, you know, 593 00:28:04,040 --> 00:28:06,520 Speaker 1: with Michael Vick on the cover of About with the Falcons. 594 00:28:07,000 --> 00:28:10,000 Speaker 1: Put that in there. Play a game, because I don't 595 00:28:10,000 --> 00:28:12,480 Speaker 1: think we'll ever see another Michael Vick snap in the NFL. 596 00:28:12,720 --> 00:28:15,040 Speaker 1: You just born a little out for Michael Vick. It 597 00:28:15,200 --> 00:28:17,840 Speaker 1: was actually I'm not gonna go too crazy about Michael Vick. 598 00:28:17,840 --> 00:28:19,199 Speaker 1: There's a lot of people that think you shouldn't ever 599 00:28:19,200 --> 00:28:21,439 Speaker 1: even come back to the NFL. But if you're somebody 600 00:28:21,480 --> 00:28:24,359 Speaker 1: that that guy defined it or the NFL, and I 601 00:28:24,400 --> 00:28:27,280 Speaker 1: think it was very clear by the end of when 602 00:28:27,280 --> 00:28:29,200 Speaker 1: he left the game and these past two games that 603 00:28:29,640 --> 00:28:32,919 Speaker 1: Michael Vick's finished, this could probably this probably was his 604 00:28:33,000 --> 00:28:34,840 Speaker 1: last start in the NFL. It might even be his 605 00:28:34,920 --> 00:28:38,520 Speaker 1: last appearance in the NFL. It's probably on the field. 606 00:28:38,560 --> 00:28:40,560 Speaker 1: I know, that's what I'm saying. But you're what I'm 607 00:28:40,600 --> 00:28:43,280 Speaker 1: noticing is that you're plagiarizing your own tweet These days, 608 00:28:44,040 --> 00:28:45,880 Speaker 1: you know your tweets on the screen and you're just 609 00:28:45,960 --> 00:28:49,160 Speaker 1: using that material that's kind of like my journal of 610 00:28:49,240 --> 00:28:52,080 Speaker 1: my thoughts over the course of Sunday, and some make 611 00:28:52,120 --> 00:28:53,960 Speaker 1: it to the good. I like to look at you 612 00:28:54,000 --> 00:28:56,760 Speaker 1: as like a multi platform weapon that you operate on 613 00:28:56,800 --> 00:28:58,880 Speaker 1: Twitter and you bring the same content to the the 614 00:28:58,920 --> 00:29:02,040 Speaker 1: exact same content to the podcast, word for word. So 615 00:29:02,160 --> 00:29:04,480 Speaker 1: it's like the end of Mr Belvetere. When you're writing 616 00:29:04,480 --> 00:29:08,800 Speaker 1: your journal, you have to announce it straights out of China. 617 00:29:10,040 --> 00:29:13,560 Speaker 1: That's with another time you're Vick and you get out 618 00:29:13,560 --> 00:29:15,800 Speaker 1: played by the kicker from Friday Night Lights. It's time 619 00:29:15,800 --> 00:29:20,400 Speaker 1: to go very fair. Wow, Andrew, that's right, um Mark, 620 00:29:20,440 --> 00:29:22,520 Speaker 1: have you gotten too season two yet? Friday Night Lights? 621 00:29:22,640 --> 00:29:24,760 Speaker 1: I knocked off a few episodes last night. You know, 622 00:29:24,760 --> 00:29:27,520 Speaker 1: I didn't realize this season is twenty six episodes long. 623 00:29:28,560 --> 00:29:30,720 Speaker 1: It's taking me and on a whole lot of free time. 624 00:29:30,880 --> 00:29:33,280 Speaker 1: I think I've got about nine more episodes in season 625 00:29:33,320 --> 00:29:35,920 Speaker 1: one Friday Lights. I believe premiere to two thousand and six, 626 00:29:36,400 --> 00:29:39,160 Speaker 1: which is light years ago in terms of what's happened 627 00:29:39,160 --> 00:29:43,400 Speaker 1: in television since how how television is produced now now, 628 00:29:43,440 --> 00:29:46,040 Speaker 1: it's like twelve to fourteen episodes of season Max. Back 629 00:29:46,040 --> 00:29:48,400 Speaker 1: then it was like, Hey, Writer's Room, Bill Craik out 630 00:29:48,440 --> 00:29:51,360 Speaker 1: thirty seven episodes from binge watching is now I need 631 00:29:51,400 --> 00:29:54,000 Speaker 1: a lost weekend. I need to vanish from society to 632 00:29:54,040 --> 00:29:57,120 Speaker 1: get through, you know, a season. We need a television podcast, 633 00:29:59,080 --> 00:30:02,320 Speaker 1: theology podcast about shows that came out a decade ago. Yeah, 634 00:30:02,520 --> 00:30:04,840 Speaker 1: or two. And then Mr Belvedere, by the way, was 635 00:30:05,520 --> 00:30:09,640 Speaker 1: not a well known sitcom, so if you're overseas listeners, 636 00:30:09,720 --> 00:30:15,520 Speaker 1: he was a British butler. Mr Belvedere who had British 637 00:30:15,560 --> 00:30:19,160 Speaker 1: Bob Yucker was prominently involved. Alright, moving on, well real quick. 638 00:30:19,200 --> 00:30:21,440 Speaker 1: For all the people worried about the team of at 639 00:30:21,640 --> 00:30:23,640 Speaker 1: L or asking me if I'm worried about not worried 640 00:30:23,640 --> 00:30:29,760 Speaker 1: at all? Again, a hundred and sixty more points in 641 00:30:29,800 --> 00:30:32,800 Speaker 1: their opponent. The Cardinals are a well oiled machine. They're 642 00:30:32,800 --> 00:30:34,880 Speaker 1: gonna have a few losses. There's still a great team. 643 00:30:34,880 --> 00:30:38,040 Speaker 1: I agree with that. It's disappointing they haven't played, that 644 00:30:38,120 --> 00:30:40,400 Speaker 1: they've been outplayed, or that they've lost two out of 645 00:30:40,440 --> 00:30:42,600 Speaker 1: three games since we picked them. This is something that 646 00:30:43,000 --> 00:30:46,520 Speaker 1: you have when you have Seattle in the division, though, 647 00:30:46,800 --> 00:30:49,120 Speaker 1: you you want to take advantage of every opportunity to 648 00:30:49,120 --> 00:30:51,960 Speaker 1: beat a Landry Jones slash Michael Victim. That you got, 649 00:30:52,480 --> 00:30:57,760 Speaker 1: that's all. That's fair. We still got, We still got 650 00:30:57,800 --> 00:31:00,280 Speaker 1: the faith coming from us. Don't worry, cards, don't be nervous. 651 00:31:00,320 --> 00:31:01,880 Speaker 1: I think there's a little bit of generous. They think 652 00:31:02,000 --> 00:31:06,600 Speaker 1: they need to be even better. Yourself, be yourselves, let's 653 00:31:06,640 --> 00:31:10,040 Speaker 1: move on. The Minnesota Vikings could not get Agent Peterson 654 00:31:10,120 --> 00:31:13,040 Speaker 1: going and got another quiet game from Teddy Bridgewater, but 655 00:31:13,080 --> 00:31:16,520 Speaker 1: they still did enough for a sixteen ten win over 656 00:31:16,560 --> 00:31:23,320 Speaker 1: the Kansas City Chiefs. Greg I watched this game, and 657 00:31:23,400 --> 00:31:25,880 Speaker 1: I would like to put in a formal request that 658 00:31:26,000 --> 00:31:29,880 Speaker 1: we don't have to watch anymore as a group. As 659 00:31:29,880 --> 00:31:33,400 Speaker 1: a group, well, but the problem like that I could consider, 660 00:31:34,200 --> 00:31:36,200 Speaker 1: But they have there's a team on the other side 661 00:31:36,240 --> 00:31:38,240 Speaker 1: of the field each week when they play, and I 662 00:31:38,240 --> 00:31:41,400 Speaker 1: don't think there's any other technology is improving. I don't 663 00:31:41,400 --> 00:31:43,640 Speaker 1: think you can just take the Chiefs off the field 664 00:31:43,680 --> 00:31:45,920 Speaker 1: and just watch the Vikings. I don't know. I need 665 00:31:46,000 --> 00:31:47,920 Speaker 1: you to tell me about the Vikings in general, you 666 00:31:47,920 --> 00:31:49,560 Speaker 1: know what I mean? Yeah, I get that. I get that, 667 00:31:49,640 --> 00:31:51,760 Speaker 1: but and I feel bad when I say that. If 668 00:31:51,800 --> 00:31:53,520 Speaker 1: you're a Chiefs fan, that's listening to the show. This 669 00:31:53,640 --> 00:31:58,280 Speaker 1: is I mean no disrespect. I mean not towards the fans. 670 00:31:58,280 --> 00:32:01,600 Speaker 1: The fans deserve better, uh you know, they deserve a 671 00:32:01,640 --> 00:32:05,680 Speaker 1: team they could get cited about today. Because while without 672 00:32:05,760 --> 00:32:09,160 Speaker 1: Jamal Charles there's there's nothing there. You got Alex Smith, 673 00:32:09,200 --> 00:32:12,240 Speaker 1: who is you know, Mr Fuddy Duddy throwing those little 674 00:32:12,400 --> 00:32:16,320 Speaker 1: dumb passes over the middle, not pushing the ball downfield. 675 00:32:17,240 --> 00:32:20,520 Speaker 1: Travis Kelsey disappears for stretches. I don't know how that happened. 676 00:32:20,600 --> 00:32:22,840 Speaker 1: Jeremy mack Jeremy maclell got hurt in this game that 677 00:32:22,920 --> 00:32:27,040 Speaker 1: things are even worse without macklin involved. They got passes 678 00:32:27,080 --> 00:32:29,400 Speaker 1: for Alex Smith. It looked like, yeah, I mean this, 679 00:32:29,520 --> 00:32:31,880 Speaker 1: I mean the team didn't playball. Charke Hendrick West didn't 680 00:32:31,920 --> 00:32:35,240 Speaker 1: do anything. Nile Davis didn't do anything. West had a 681 00:32:35,280 --> 00:32:38,200 Speaker 1: bad fumble also in the fourth quarter when they had 682 00:32:38,200 --> 00:32:40,760 Speaker 1: a little momentum. This team went from last week to 683 00:32:40,840 --> 00:32:43,640 Speaker 1: this week four and a half quarters without scoring a 684 00:32:43,720 --> 00:32:47,680 Speaker 1: point with Jamal Charles. Without Jamal Charles, so the Vikings 685 00:32:47,720 --> 00:32:51,520 Speaker 1: didn't play particularly well in this game. The Chiefs defense, 686 00:32:51,560 --> 00:32:53,520 Speaker 1: to its credit, did a really nice job bottling up 687 00:32:54,080 --> 00:32:58,080 Speaker 1: um Adrian Peterson who um did not get going ever 688 00:32:58,120 --> 00:33:00,000 Speaker 1: in this game. But at the end of the day, 689 00:33:00,120 --> 00:33:03,440 Speaker 1: it was it was just a boring, workman like victory, 690 00:33:03,760 --> 00:33:05,400 Speaker 1: and that's what they want to be on offense, it 691 00:33:05,440 --> 00:33:08,040 Speaker 1: seems because this has been this isn't a departure from 692 00:33:08,040 --> 00:33:10,440 Speaker 1: what they were last year either. They're very they're content 693 00:33:10,760 --> 00:33:13,440 Speaker 1: as an organization of Alex Smith at quarterback and all 694 00:33:13,480 --> 00:33:16,120 Speaker 1: these shortcomings that you know that are joined with that, 695 00:33:16,640 --> 00:33:18,840 Speaker 1: and they want to win and lose games sixteen to 696 00:33:18,920 --> 00:33:20,560 Speaker 1: ten and they're gonna lose a lot more than they're 697 00:33:20,560 --> 00:33:24,000 Speaker 1: gonna win, and I put it on bad luck, but 698 00:33:24,040 --> 00:33:26,800 Speaker 1: they're not builkers. They're not built to go out and 699 00:33:26,840 --> 00:33:29,360 Speaker 1: dominate games on offense and have a nice time being 700 00:33:29,400 --> 00:33:30,880 Speaker 1: six and ten when that's the kid. I think they 701 00:33:30,880 --> 00:33:33,320 Speaker 1: have like two more years invested in Alex Smith. But 702 00:33:33,680 --> 00:33:35,680 Speaker 1: if you're any read, is there any thought to just 703 00:33:35,760 --> 00:33:38,080 Speaker 1: kick the tires and old chase the former making the 704 00:33:38,160 --> 00:33:41,040 Speaker 1: leap candidate. I think they we were calling for that 705 00:33:41,080 --> 00:33:43,040 Speaker 1: a couple of weeks and think they will just because 706 00:33:43,040 --> 00:33:46,280 Speaker 1: of the guaranteed money in in Smith's contract they did. 707 00:33:46,320 --> 00:33:49,680 Speaker 1: Did a Teddy Bridgewater look any better this week? Really? 708 00:33:50,160 --> 00:33:53,000 Speaker 1: He's been. He hasn't really. Have you guys seen a 709 00:33:53,000 --> 00:33:55,320 Speaker 1: game where you thought he's looked really good this year? Yes, 710 00:33:55,680 --> 00:33:57,840 Speaker 1: one game, right, he was just about perfect. But other 711 00:33:57,880 --> 00:33:59,480 Speaker 1: than that, he was just you know, he was just 712 00:33:59,520 --> 00:34:01,520 Speaker 1: a guy in the field. I mean he threw one 713 00:34:01,560 --> 00:34:04,800 Speaker 1: touchdown and through two picks, not not good throws. He 714 00:34:04,840 --> 00:34:08,200 Speaker 1: has three touchdowns for the entire season. Now, um, so 715 00:34:08,239 --> 00:34:10,279 Speaker 1: I didn't I didn't take much. I didn't take much 716 00:34:10,280 --> 00:34:11,680 Speaker 1: out of that. When you guys check out the game, 717 00:34:11,680 --> 00:34:15,000 Speaker 1: maybe you'll see something different. The one guy did stand 718 00:34:15,000 --> 00:34:18,839 Speaker 1: out for them is um Stefan Diggs. Yeah, yeah, fifth 719 00:34:18,920 --> 00:34:21,800 Speaker 1: round pick, didn't. I don't even think he was active 720 00:34:21,800 --> 00:34:23,279 Speaker 1: in the first few weeks of the season. The last 721 00:34:23,280 --> 00:34:27,120 Speaker 1: two weeks he has thirteen catches for two hundred sixteen yards, 722 00:34:27,760 --> 00:34:30,560 Speaker 1: had seven for one nine today. So you know there 723 00:34:30,560 --> 00:34:34,080 Speaker 1: are guys in that offense, Cordele Patterson, of course, Mark 724 00:34:34,120 --> 00:34:36,560 Speaker 1: your boy, Charles Johnson. They haven't been able to get 725 00:34:36,560 --> 00:34:39,960 Speaker 1: anybody to find um any success and it looks like 726 00:34:40,040 --> 00:34:42,120 Speaker 1: they hit on something with Digs here, so expect him 727 00:34:42,239 --> 00:34:44,120 Speaker 1: to be a regular part of that offense. You called 728 00:34:44,120 --> 00:34:47,040 Speaker 1: that on Thursday show that the you know, Mike Wallace. 729 00:34:47,120 --> 00:34:49,840 Speaker 1: What does he have two catches for twenty nine targets 730 00:34:49,840 --> 00:34:53,040 Speaker 1: and two catches where stef I digs nine targets And 731 00:34:52,440 --> 00:34:55,680 Speaker 1: he's not Mike Wallace anymore. He doesn't move like he 732 00:34:55,800 --> 00:34:58,839 Speaker 1: used to. Kyle Rudolph nine yards, I mean tight ends 733 00:34:58,840 --> 00:35:02,400 Speaker 1: and Norv Turner's offense typically thrive, and it's been the 734 00:35:02,400 --> 00:35:05,040 Speaker 1: opposite for some of these so called playmakers that we 735 00:35:05,040 --> 00:35:07,399 Speaker 1: were touting all summer. Beckon's having played well and get 736 00:35:07,400 --> 00:35:08,920 Speaker 1: their three and two, and I think they have the 737 00:35:08,960 --> 00:35:11,480 Speaker 1: Lions and Bears next, so they have a chance to 738 00:35:11,520 --> 00:35:13,840 Speaker 1: be right where everyone was hoping they would be something 739 00:35:13,880 --> 00:35:16,759 Speaker 1: like five and two. And some people might start, Oh, 740 00:35:16,920 --> 00:35:20,279 Speaker 1: is Adrian Peterson still the same guy? Because he's had 741 00:35:20,280 --> 00:35:23,279 Speaker 1: two kind of really bad games now statistically. But this 742 00:35:23,360 --> 00:35:24,880 Speaker 1: was not his fault. He was getting swallowed up in 743 00:35:24,880 --> 00:35:27,400 Speaker 1: the backfield before he even touched. He could really use 744 00:35:27,440 --> 00:35:30,200 Speaker 1: Teddy Bridgewater heating up a little bit to take some 745 00:35:30,239 --> 00:35:34,040 Speaker 1: heat off him. Um, all right, now it's the time 746 00:35:34,080 --> 00:35:38,280 Speaker 1: of the show. It's Sunday, where we welcome in a woman. 747 00:35:40,000 --> 00:35:44,600 Speaker 1: That's it. I'll leave it there, Let's bring her in. Hey, 748 00:35:45,640 --> 00:35:50,360 Speaker 1: it never gets less awkward that intro, I said, woman, 749 00:35:50,760 --> 00:35:56,680 Speaker 1: but I mean Wolf Woman. Colleen Wolf not only a 750 00:35:56,800 --> 00:36:00,319 Speaker 1: friend of the Around the NFL podcast, but you know what, 751 00:36:00,480 --> 00:36:05,240 Speaker 1: an actual friend of ours. That we we've hung out together, 752 00:36:05,840 --> 00:36:12,600 Speaker 1: We've ingested liquids, and we've had conversations the way you 753 00:36:12,640 --> 00:36:16,440 Speaker 1: said strange. But I had a friend in town this 754 00:36:16,480 --> 00:36:18,920 Speaker 1: weekend who who listens to the podcast now. He's a 755 00:36:18,920 --> 00:36:21,719 Speaker 1: recent adopt adoptee, and he was saying, he's like that 756 00:36:21,800 --> 00:36:23,920 Speaker 1: Collie Wolf. She just needs to be on the show 757 00:36:23,960 --> 00:36:30,759 Speaker 1: every time. That Colleen. I don't think so. I think 758 00:36:30,800 --> 00:36:34,920 Speaker 1: this is the perfect amount of Colleen College so much more. 759 00:36:35,440 --> 00:36:39,040 Speaker 1: Colleen she is every Sunday. She of course, she's one 760 00:36:39,040 --> 00:36:43,640 Speaker 1: of the faces of NFL now. She's also a constant 761 00:36:43,680 --> 00:36:47,920 Speaker 1: presence on the NFL Now Game Day Blitz program on Sundays, 762 00:36:47,960 --> 00:36:51,120 Speaker 1: which Greg you and I sat in on on NFL Now. 763 00:36:51,880 --> 00:36:54,560 Speaker 1: A little story about that. Today I did my two 764 00:36:54,640 --> 00:36:58,880 Speaker 1: segment thing and then the shack was like, alright, you know, 765 00:36:59,040 --> 00:37:01,400 Speaker 1: great to see her again, all right, Colleen take it away? 766 00:37:01,440 --> 00:37:02,720 Speaker 1: And I was like, oh, I thought I was done. 767 00:37:03,040 --> 00:37:04,719 Speaker 1: So I put down my little stick Mike and I 768 00:37:04,800 --> 00:37:07,719 Speaker 1: start to start to walk away, and I see all 769 00:37:07,760 --> 00:37:10,680 Speaker 1: these people behind the camera like shooting the daggers, and 770 00:37:10,680 --> 00:37:13,280 Speaker 1: then and then it's no, you're not clear, You're not clear. 771 00:37:13,400 --> 00:37:15,160 Speaker 1: And now I'm standing in the middle of the set. 772 00:37:15,480 --> 00:37:18,040 Speaker 1: And then if I just bail and everyone has just 773 00:37:18,080 --> 00:37:20,919 Speaker 1: given me a look like I am human garbage. Why 774 00:37:20,920 --> 00:37:23,160 Speaker 1: not try to be a professional when you're on there. 775 00:37:23,320 --> 00:37:26,000 Speaker 1: I was trying. In what scenario? Are you not taking 776 00:37:26,000 --> 00:37:27,719 Speaker 1: the mic with you? If nothing, even if you think 777 00:37:27,760 --> 00:37:30,440 Speaker 1: the segments over, at least bring it with you. Be 778 00:37:30,520 --> 00:37:35,520 Speaker 1: helpful professional. I don't notice any of this all you 779 00:37:35,560 --> 00:37:38,000 Speaker 1: plugged in. I don't know. It's hard to tell sometimes. Alright, 780 00:37:38,640 --> 00:37:43,160 Speaker 1: going clear a scientology term, yes it is, I am 781 00:37:43,160 --> 00:37:45,799 Speaker 1: not a scientologist. That's for the Theology show? Or is 782 00:37:45,840 --> 00:37:48,800 Speaker 1: it is scientology a religion? Mark We'll start with we 783 00:37:49,000 --> 00:37:53,040 Speaker 1: will discuss on this summer's Theology podcast. All right, great, alright, 784 00:37:53,080 --> 00:37:55,920 Speaker 1: so let's continue with the games. Colleen's bag. It's always 785 00:37:55,920 --> 00:37:59,000 Speaker 1: great to have Colleen. And since Colleen's here and I'm 786 00:37:59,040 --> 00:38:01,839 Speaker 1: in a good mood, now we're gonna talk about the 787 00:38:01,840 --> 00:38:05,759 Speaker 1: New York Jets. Ryan Fitzpatrick threw two touchdown passes and 788 00:38:05,840 --> 00:38:09,480 Speaker 1: ran for another score, and Chris Ivory posted a hundred 789 00:38:09,560 --> 00:38:11,840 Speaker 1: ninety six total yards. It all added up to a 790 00:38:11,920 --> 00:38:16,080 Speaker 1: thirty four to twenty Jets wins over the Washington Redskins 791 00:38:16,160 --> 00:38:20,400 Speaker 1: at the Meadowlands. The Jets Mark Sessler, I know the 792 00:38:20,480 --> 00:38:23,600 Speaker 1: brown stink again, and I don't revel in that, but 793 00:38:23,719 --> 00:38:27,040 Speaker 1: at least, well you kind of do, since they were 794 00:38:27,040 --> 00:38:29,279 Speaker 1: a play away for beating undefeated team and being three 795 00:38:29,280 --> 00:38:32,040 Speaker 1: and three, scrappy Browns, give them a little credit. Just 796 00:38:32,280 --> 00:38:36,319 Speaker 1: know that the Jets a fellow pain ranking team. They're 797 00:38:36,320 --> 00:38:43,080 Speaker 1: doing okay, I think that because very happy. I don't 798 00:38:43,160 --> 00:38:46,759 Speaker 1: understand why you're not jumping on the Jets bandwagon that on. 799 00:38:46,920 --> 00:38:49,239 Speaker 1: That's what I'm trying to say. No, I don't need 800 00:38:49,280 --> 00:38:51,440 Speaker 1: to get on that train. Okay, it's gonna end horribly, 801 00:38:51,480 --> 00:38:53,719 Speaker 1: but this is my takeaway from this game. And yes, 802 00:38:53,760 --> 00:38:56,720 Speaker 1: the Redskins were all sorts of beat up, and um, 803 00:38:56,760 --> 00:38:58,279 Speaker 1: you know, the Jets are at home. They should win 804 00:38:58,320 --> 00:39:01,080 Speaker 1: this game. I now think the Jets are actually good. 805 00:39:02,400 --> 00:39:04,400 Speaker 1: I think they're good. I think not only they have 806 00:39:04,520 --> 00:39:06,759 Speaker 1: a pretty nice schedule this year and they have a 807 00:39:06,960 --> 00:39:09,879 Speaker 1: really good defense. I think they're legitimately good. And it's 808 00:39:09,880 --> 00:39:14,080 Speaker 1: because Chris Irie. He's not the best running back in football. Uh, 809 00:39:14,160 --> 00:39:16,400 Speaker 1: even though Marsha Brandon Marshall said it, but he is 810 00:39:16,440 --> 00:39:18,839 Speaker 1: a top five running back right now. So not only 811 00:39:18,880 --> 00:39:21,360 Speaker 1: do you have a top three defense, you have a 812 00:39:21,400 --> 00:39:25,399 Speaker 1: top five running back Brandon Marshall West. If you were 813 00:39:25,440 --> 00:39:27,960 Speaker 1: to do an end of season wide receiver rankings, Brandon 814 00:39:28,000 --> 00:39:30,280 Speaker 1: Marshall keeps us up. He's a top five wide receiver 815 00:39:30,440 --> 00:39:34,080 Speaker 1: this year. This guy is doing something. And uh, you 816 00:39:34,080 --> 00:39:36,880 Speaker 1: know Don Maynard who I know West? You know well, 817 00:39:36,960 --> 00:39:40,760 Speaker 1: the great wide receiver of the sixty eight world champion Jets. 818 00:39:41,120 --> 00:39:43,280 Speaker 1: He was the last wide receiver to have a hundred 819 00:39:43,320 --> 00:39:45,920 Speaker 1: yards and four straight games. That's what Brandon Marshall did today. 820 00:39:46,280 --> 00:39:48,919 Speaker 1: So you have a great, great wide receiver, a great 821 00:39:49,000 --> 00:39:57,120 Speaker 1: running back, a great defense, and Ryan Fitzpatrick is okay, okay, 822 00:39:57,239 --> 00:39:59,600 Speaker 1: you gotta get offensive coordinator. I think that's one of 823 00:39:59,600 --> 00:40:02,200 Speaker 1: the yas at all. This Patrick played great today. He 824 00:40:02,239 --> 00:40:05,440 Speaker 1: had one interception, Um, so he does. He's gonna make 825 00:40:05,440 --> 00:40:07,680 Speaker 1: a mistake every week like that. Sometimes he'll make more 826 00:40:07,719 --> 00:40:10,200 Speaker 1: than one. But he made some big throws and he's 827 00:40:10,440 --> 00:40:12,839 Speaker 1: been making plays all year with his legs. In an 828 00:40:12,840 --> 00:40:15,560 Speaker 1: eighteen yard touchdown run that won this game, essentially put 829 00:40:15,560 --> 00:40:18,120 Speaker 1: the game away. So he's been getting first downs all 830 00:40:18,120 --> 00:40:20,920 Speaker 1: season with his legs. He's been limiting the killer mistakes. 831 00:40:21,080 --> 00:40:23,000 Speaker 1: Put it all together, the Jets are good. This is 832 00:40:23,040 --> 00:40:25,000 Speaker 1: a ten win team. If they can play a team 833 00:40:25,000 --> 00:40:29,120 Speaker 1: that's missing eight starters every week, they'll be never thrown 834 00:40:30,160 --> 00:40:32,520 Speaker 1: watch the game and tell much more complete team than 835 00:40:32,600 --> 00:40:34,400 Speaker 1: last year. And it starts with all the pieces on 836 00:40:34,480 --> 00:40:37,000 Speaker 1: defense that Rex Ryan was not given at the end 837 00:40:37,040 --> 00:40:39,000 Speaker 1: of his tenure. And we always talked about the fact 838 00:40:39,040 --> 00:40:41,759 Speaker 1: that you know what Marshall did is he turns Eric 839 00:40:41,760 --> 00:40:44,160 Speaker 1: Decker into not the number one and only target on 840 00:40:44,200 --> 00:40:46,120 Speaker 1: the field, but a very good number two. And you've 841 00:40:46,160 --> 00:40:48,600 Speaker 1: got weapons all of a sudden, all right, So you're 842 00:40:48,640 --> 00:40:50,880 Speaker 1: right there are They're good and they're not great. Go 843 00:40:51,000 --> 00:40:52,960 Speaker 1: ten and six. That means they go six and what 844 00:40:53,360 --> 00:40:55,840 Speaker 1: six and five down the stretch, and that could happen 845 00:40:55,840 --> 00:40:59,920 Speaker 1: because they're only good and I would be happy with 846 00:41:00,080 --> 00:41:01,839 Speaker 1: ten and six. Get in the playoffs and then see 847 00:41:01,880 --> 00:41:04,879 Speaker 1: what happens with that defense. Absolutely, da Ryan Fitzpatrick played 848 00:41:04,920 --> 00:41:07,160 Speaker 1: the best game by a Jets quarterback in the past decade. 849 00:41:08,480 --> 00:41:10,960 Speaker 1: Because ESPN QBR says he did. They gave him a 850 00:41:11,040 --> 00:41:13,719 Speaker 1: nine QBR. He was. I mean, he was very good, 851 00:41:13,719 --> 00:41:16,959 Speaker 1: but he's you know, he's not throwing downfield really he's 852 00:41:16,960 --> 00:41:19,439 Speaker 1: doing he's basically taking what the defense gives him. I thought, 853 00:41:19,760 --> 00:41:21,919 Speaker 1: I thought he played a very nice game by Ryan 854 00:41:21,960 --> 00:41:25,919 Speaker 1: Fitzpatrick standards. But I don't know, I feel like maybe 855 00:41:25,960 --> 00:41:29,360 Speaker 1: some of those Sanchez games, uh, before everything went downhill, 856 00:41:29,400 --> 00:41:33,000 Speaker 1: were probably better. Brett far Brett Far through six touchdowns 857 00:41:33,000 --> 00:41:35,040 Speaker 1: in the game against the Cardinals. Once every once in 858 00:41:35,080 --> 00:41:37,759 Speaker 1: a while there's a good Jet quarterback game, but Fitzpatrick 859 00:41:37,840 --> 00:41:39,480 Speaker 1: is getting the job done and Geno Smith is not 860 00:41:39,480 --> 00:41:41,480 Speaker 1: getting in anytime soon. They came into this game in 861 00:41:41,520 --> 00:41:44,719 Speaker 1: the second half and scored twenty four straight points. Then 862 00:41:44,760 --> 00:41:46,919 Speaker 1: just like dropped the mind right when I was reading 863 00:41:46,920 --> 00:41:48,600 Speaker 1: the tweets in this game, a lot of people were 864 00:41:48,600 --> 00:41:50,600 Speaker 1: saying the Jets were very lucky to even be close 865 00:41:50,640 --> 00:41:54,200 Speaker 1: in the first half, considering how poorly they played. They 866 00:41:54,239 --> 00:41:56,319 Speaker 1: turned it over three times in the first half, and 867 00:41:56,360 --> 00:41:59,360 Speaker 1: it was very Jets and it was basically all the 868 00:41:59,400 --> 00:42:02,760 Speaker 1: things I had been concerned about. Uh, They're down thirteen 869 00:42:02,840 --> 00:42:05,040 Speaker 1: ten at the half, and then Durrell Reeve has had 870 00:42:05,040 --> 00:42:07,600 Speaker 1: an interception early in the third quarter. He now has 871 00:42:07,680 --> 00:42:11,080 Speaker 1: six takeaways in five games, so he's been well worth 872 00:42:11,080 --> 00:42:13,320 Speaker 1: the money so far. And that changed the whole tenant 873 00:42:13,320 --> 00:42:15,920 Speaker 1: of the game. They went nuts after that, scored seventeen 874 00:42:15,960 --> 00:42:20,120 Speaker 1: straight points and that was pretty much it the Jets. 875 00:42:20,160 --> 00:42:23,560 Speaker 1: I believe there were four and twelve. They haven't rased that. Well, 876 00:42:23,560 --> 00:42:25,360 Speaker 1: it should be fun, and you're right about the schedule. 877 00:42:25,360 --> 00:42:27,080 Speaker 1: I forget about that because I'm thinking, well, they just 878 00:42:27,160 --> 00:42:29,759 Speaker 1: haven't really beaten anyone. I mean, they won in Indianapolis 879 00:42:29,840 --> 00:42:31,680 Speaker 1: that that was solid, but they haven't beaten another team 880 00:42:31,680 --> 00:42:33,040 Speaker 1: with the winning record. But then I'm looking at the 881 00:42:33,080 --> 00:42:34,600 Speaker 1: rest of the schedule. They don't have any teams with 882 00:42:34,600 --> 00:42:36,160 Speaker 1: winning records. The rest of the way. You know, you 883 00:42:36,200 --> 00:42:37,799 Speaker 1: have the division games, which aren't easy. You have the 884 00:42:37,800 --> 00:42:40,160 Speaker 1: Patriots twice, which is very difficult. But other than that, 885 00:42:40,200 --> 00:42:42,759 Speaker 1: it's cake city. Including next week. That's a great game 886 00:42:42,880 --> 00:42:45,239 Speaker 1: Jets Patriots that you think they will be talked about 887 00:42:45,239 --> 00:42:47,400 Speaker 1: it all I think on this podcast it will be that. 888 00:42:47,480 --> 00:42:49,880 Speaker 1: And uh, you know, whether they're gonna bench Kirk Cousins 889 00:42:49,920 --> 00:42:53,239 Speaker 1: in Washington a game, j Gruden said, no way, he's 890 00:42:53,800 --> 00:42:56,000 Speaker 1: I mean, he's underwhelming to me in more point six 891 00:42:56,080 --> 00:42:59,440 Speaker 1: yards per attempting a couple more picks, Now what's the alternative? 892 00:42:59,719 --> 00:43:02,200 Speaker 1: And not RG three who was asking no alternative? It 893 00:43:02,239 --> 00:43:04,239 Speaker 1: won't be RG three. RG three was active for the 894 00:43:04,239 --> 00:43:06,520 Speaker 1: first time this year, but that was because they're so 895 00:43:06,640 --> 00:43:08,960 Speaker 1: banged up. I mean, they're not gonna play r G 896 00:43:09,080 --> 00:43:11,120 Speaker 1: three right because they don't want to listen gutting hurt. 897 00:43:11,600 --> 00:43:14,920 Speaker 1: But Cousins isn't the answer. Well, neither is Cole McCoy. 898 00:43:15,040 --> 00:43:17,160 Speaker 1: So you gotta just stick with There's absolutely no running 899 00:43:17,200 --> 00:43:19,759 Speaker 1: game either to help them right that they're supposed to 900 00:43:19,800 --> 00:43:22,359 Speaker 1: be built on running in time of possession and they've 901 00:43:22,360 --> 00:43:25,120 Speaker 1: been hit or miss all year. There are eight and 902 00:43:25,160 --> 00:43:27,080 Speaker 1: eight team in the making or maybe seven or six 903 00:43:27,080 --> 00:43:30,120 Speaker 1: and six wins. They got three on the road and 904 00:43:30,120 --> 00:43:32,040 Speaker 1: they got winning some games on the road. Did be 905 00:43:32,080 --> 00:43:34,520 Speaker 1: eight and eight? One bright spots really banged up there, 906 00:43:34,560 --> 00:43:36,719 Speaker 1: I mean key guys, the Shawan Jackson, Trent william I 907 00:43:36,760 --> 00:43:39,160 Speaker 1: mean they Jordan read All, think these guys, Matt Jones, 908 00:43:39,200 --> 00:43:41,200 Speaker 1: all these guys are starting seven and active. Six of 909 00:43:41,239 --> 00:43:44,239 Speaker 1: them were starters. One bright Spot. I thought last week 910 00:43:44,280 --> 00:43:47,080 Speaker 1: for shot Breedlan played as well as any cornerback in 911 00:43:47,160 --> 00:43:49,799 Speaker 1: the NFL, and then this week he has two takeaways 912 00:43:49,840 --> 00:43:52,600 Speaker 1: and from what I three takeaway. He had two fumble 913 00:43:52,680 --> 00:43:57,120 Speaker 1: recoveries and interception in the first half, and then Brandon 914 00:43:57,120 --> 00:43:59,319 Speaker 1: Marshall made him look bad on a touchdown later. But 915 00:43:59,800 --> 00:44:02,120 Speaker 1: he he played a very good game. So there there's 916 00:44:02,120 --> 00:44:04,560 Speaker 1: some things. There's still a good defense, but the Jets 917 00:44:05,040 --> 00:44:07,880 Speaker 1: rolled up a season high and yardage. If their defense 918 00:44:07,920 --> 00:44:09,920 Speaker 1: takes a step back there, this team's gonna create her. 919 00:44:09,960 --> 00:44:13,279 Speaker 1: Geno Smith's next past next August and Oakland as a 920 00:44:13,360 --> 00:44:19,960 Speaker 1: Raiders back up. Marcus loving this thing right, Raiders back up, sure, 921 00:44:20,200 --> 00:44:22,600 Speaker 1: preseason action. Geno Smith out the door. We don't need 922 00:44:22,680 --> 00:44:24,520 Speaker 1: him in New York anymore. Why would you ever bring 923 00:44:24,560 --> 00:44:28,959 Speaker 1: that guy back into the folds? Uh Fitz. He hadn't 924 00:44:29,000 --> 00:44:30,799 Speaker 1: been playing that well the past couple of weeks. So 925 00:44:30,840 --> 00:44:34,880 Speaker 1: this is toxic, ultra toxic. That's what Keith hands things to. 926 00:44:35,200 --> 00:44:36,680 Speaker 1: I was talking to my dad on the way to 927 00:44:36,719 --> 00:44:38,880 Speaker 1: work today, is Danny, they can't put that guy and 928 00:44:38,920 --> 00:44:41,920 Speaker 1: he's a bum. Your dad knows. Your dad's watched the 929 00:44:42,000 --> 00:44:53,919 Speaker 1: Jets for decades and decades. Danny Genius was terrible. Keith 930 00:44:53,920 --> 00:44:56,280 Speaker 1: hands a sorry, let's move on, all right. The Lions, 931 00:44:56,600 --> 00:45:00,600 Speaker 1: they've done it. They did it. You've predicted it. You 932 00:45:00,719 --> 00:45:04,680 Speaker 1: said it, prediction, they were favored in the game. What 933 00:45:04,719 --> 00:45:08,879 Speaker 1: was your what was your headline? The Lions? I don't 934 00:45:08,880 --> 00:45:12,880 Speaker 1: remember about no more winless teams, No more football teams 935 00:45:12,920 --> 00:45:15,000 Speaker 1: will win. Lions win a game. There are no more 936 00:45:15,000 --> 00:45:19,120 Speaker 1: winless teams. Adam, to be quick on your feet there, Greg, 937 00:45:20,200 --> 00:45:22,720 Speaker 1: the Lions have done it. Matt Frater kicked the twenty 938 00:45:22,719 --> 00:45:25,120 Speaker 1: seven yard field goal with less than three minutes to 939 00:45:25,160 --> 00:45:28,120 Speaker 1: go in overtime, giving Detroit a thirty seven thirty four 940 00:45:28,160 --> 00:45:31,320 Speaker 1: win over the Bears, their first taste of victory and 941 00:45:31,440 --> 00:45:35,279 Speaker 1: six tries Colleen. At one point this game appeared to 942 00:45:35,320 --> 00:45:38,799 Speaker 1: be heading towards a suitably pathetic tie. But it didn't happen, though, 943 00:45:38,880 --> 00:45:42,520 Speaker 1: thank you for that. Yeah, no, Matt Stafford. He finally threw, 944 00:45:42,800 --> 00:45:45,279 Speaker 1: I mean through for over four hundred yards, and there 945 00:45:45,280 --> 00:45:48,200 Speaker 1: were there was a stretch of like seven games where 946 00:45:48,200 --> 00:45:51,239 Speaker 1: he hadn't thrown for over three hundred and more importantly, 947 00:45:51,320 --> 00:45:54,960 Speaker 1: he went to Calvin Johnson. So Calvin Johnson finally has 948 00:45:55,000 --> 00:45:59,040 Speaker 1: a one hundred yard games. Yeah, the first one hundred 949 00:45:59,080 --> 00:46:02,040 Speaker 1: yard game of his career. But guys, I'm still not 950 00:46:02,080 --> 00:46:06,680 Speaker 1: sure what it catches at this point because of another terrible, 951 00:46:06,719 --> 00:46:11,880 Speaker 1: absurd call that was absolutely awful. So Golden Tate. He 952 00:46:11,960 --> 00:46:15,279 Speaker 1: gets the ball knocked out as he's crossing the goal 953 00:46:15,360 --> 00:46:18,160 Speaker 1: line right and the Bears defender comes down with it 954 00:46:18,200 --> 00:46:21,640 Speaker 1: before he hits the ground, and it's ruled interception. Then 955 00:46:21,680 --> 00:46:24,840 Speaker 1: it's reviewed and overturned and called a Golden Tate touchdown. 956 00:46:25,719 --> 00:46:27,920 Speaker 1: I mean, so the argument was that it's not the 957 00:46:27,960 --> 00:46:32,000 Speaker 1: same as these other highly controversial episodes where they're going 958 00:46:32,040 --> 00:46:35,200 Speaker 1: to the ground and there's possession or not maintained making 959 00:46:35,200 --> 00:46:37,960 Speaker 1: your football play. It's that he had possession when he 960 00:46:38,000 --> 00:46:40,439 Speaker 1: broke the plane, and so the play is over right. 961 00:46:42,200 --> 00:46:45,359 Speaker 1: Sort of makes sense. It just wasn't It was any 962 00:46:45,440 --> 00:46:47,680 Speaker 1: sense when you've got a rule where everybody in the 963 00:46:47,719 --> 00:46:50,680 Speaker 1: stadium thinks it's not a catch, everybody watching it at 964 00:46:50,719 --> 00:46:52,759 Speaker 1: home thinks it's not a catch. Mike Pereira thinks it's 965 00:46:52,800 --> 00:46:55,040 Speaker 1: not a catch, and all the coaches think it's not 966 00:46:55,080 --> 00:46:57,239 Speaker 1: a catch. It's a broken rule fixed and the Dino 967 00:46:57,320 --> 00:47:01,200 Speaker 1: Blandino thing doesn't work because you can't throw to Dino 968 00:47:01,400 --> 00:47:04,160 Speaker 1: and then he's gonna say whatever. Technically the rule book 969 00:47:04,239 --> 00:47:07,400 Speaker 1: might actually interpret it, it it doesn't really provide me any clarity. 970 00:47:07,719 --> 00:47:10,480 Speaker 1: I'm more I look at a guy like nothing would 971 00:47:11,000 --> 00:47:15,080 Speaker 1: well changing the rule with clarity is clear at least 972 00:47:15,160 --> 00:47:17,240 Speaker 1: like Pereira, for instance, who used to be the VP 973 00:47:17,280 --> 00:47:19,400 Speaker 1: of officiating. They throw it to him and he's like, 974 00:47:19,880 --> 00:47:23,000 Speaker 1: I don't know. Ask ask Calvin Johnson if that's asked, 975 00:47:23,000 --> 00:47:24,600 Speaker 1: that's Brian. I mean, I don't know what to call. 976 00:47:24,680 --> 00:47:27,600 Speaker 1: That's been my main point all along, the officials don't 977 00:47:27,640 --> 00:47:31,240 Speaker 1: know the rule. And take a look at that catch 978 00:47:31,360 --> 00:47:33,560 Speaker 1: by Golden Tate and then take a look at the 979 00:47:33,600 --> 00:47:36,000 Speaker 1: Tyler Eiffort catch from a couple of weeks ago and 980 00:47:36,040 --> 00:47:42,600 Speaker 1: tell me which one should have been a touch that right, 981 00:47:43,280 --> 00:47:44,960 Speaker 1: you'll pull your hair. I'll trying to figure it out. 982 00:47:45,800 --> 00:47:47,839 Speaker 1: It's just way too much gray area, and it's just 983 00:47:47,960 --> 00:47:52,320 Speaker 1: and it's just taking attention away from the Cutler Stafford 984 00:47:52,560 --> 00:47:55,600 Speaker 1: Dull in the dome that people were waiting for a 985 00:47:55,640 --> 00:47:59,680 Speaker 1: thirty seven thirty four. Everyone's dogging these big chair there. 986 00:48:01,239 --> 00:48:04,279 Speaker 1: Get out of the chair. It's too fir human that 987 00:48:04,360 --> 00:48:06,799 Speaker 1: was waiting for. They made a movie out of this 988 00:48:06,840 --> 00:48:11,400 Speaker 1: game would be called unwanted. J Cutler's best best player 989 00:48:11,360 --> 00:48:13,319 Speaker 1: in the world is just kind of running around for 990 00:48:13,320 --> 00:48:15,439 Speaker 1: a while and throwing it up deep to outside. Jeff 991 00:48:15,920 --> 00:48:18,200 Speaker 1: Now he can do that again. It looks like it's 992 00:48:18,200 --> 00:48:21,360 Speaker 1: totally different offense though with a Sean in it. I 993 00:48:21,360 --> 00:48:24,480 Speaker 1: mean you can see the marked right was back. I 994 00:48:24,480 --> 00:48:29,680 Speaker 1: mean that helps that. That bad with the Bears is 995 00:48:29,960 --> 00:48:33,560 Speaker 1: they're they're competitive every week now because Jay Cutler is involved, 996 00:48:33,719 --> 00:48:35,239 Speaker 1: and we were talking about this team is like a 997 00:48:35,320 --> 00:48:37,680 Speaker 1: fourteen lost team when he was hurt. I agree with 998 00:48:37,800 --> 00:48:40,720 Speaker 1: Colleen on Jeffrey though, because the Bears chiefs. I watched 999 00:48:40,719 --> 00:48:43,040 Speaker 1: that on game Pass on Saturday and fell asleep in 1000 00:48:43,040 --> 00:48:46,200 Speaker 1: my chair watching it. Were involved, Well, there they were, 1001 00:48:46,239 --> 00:48:48,400 Speaker 1: but this is either a different office with are you 1002 00:48:48,760 --> 00:48:50,440 Speaker 1: but his two plays at the end of the game 1003 00:48:50,440 --> 00:48:53,920 Speaker 1: where maybe two Cutler plays of all time. You're talking 1004 00:48:53,960 --> 00:48:56,839 Speaker 1: about Cutler. It's a football game that's sixty minutes long. 1005 00:48:56,920 --> 00:48:59,719 Speaker 1: The first fifty nine minutes were an absolute disaster. I 1006 00:48:59,800 --> 00:49:02,920 Speaker 1: knew that you are a quiet closet Jay Cutler supporter, 1007 00:49:03,400 --> 00:49:06,440 Speaker 1: quiet about it. I've been supporting him a deck. I'll 1008 00:49:06,440 --> 00:49:08,600 Speaker 1: tell you what you're Patriots fan and go put Jake 1009 00:49:08,640 --> 00:49:10,400 Speaker 1: Cutler on your Patriots and see how you like that. 1010 00:49:10,520 --> 00:49:15,480 Speaker 1: Four games Cutlers on Mount Rushmore, that mountain's gonna crumble. 1011 00:49:15,600 --> 00:49:18,840 Speaker 1: I did not expect to see old Sessler fire eyes 1012 00:49:19,239 --> 00:49:22,520 Speaker 1: talking about Cutler out of nowhere. You shot some fires. 1013 00:49:23,320 --> 00:49:28,359 Speaker 1: It's not I just think it's easy to say that 1014 00:49:28,400 --> 00:49:30,560 Speaker 1: you have all this love of Jay Cutler when he's 1015 00:49:30,600 --> 00:49:32,480 Speaker 1: there's still two and four. They're going to always be 1016 00:49:32,520 --> 00:49:35,000 Speaker 1: a team that his para and nothing important happens with 1017 00:49:35,040 --> 00:49:38,040 Speaker 1: him at quarterback. Name his big victories. Give me three 1018 00:49:38,040 --> 00:49:41,560 Speaker 1: big Jake Coulor victories or one you want to play, 1019 00:49:41,600 --> 00:49:43,680 Speaker 1: but he's just not as he just doesn't get that done. 1020 00:49:43,920 --> 00:49:50,799 Speaker 1: Got out played by Caleb Hainey in a playoff game. Yeah, well, 1021 00:49:51,040 --> 00:49:52,600 Speaker 1: is there anything else we need to know about this game? 1022 00:49:52,640 --> 00:49:56,279 Speaker 1: Clings defense gave up over five and forty totally are 1023 00:49:56,640 --> 00:50:00,759 Speaker 1: that's right? They've been playing well? Yeah, I think it's 1024 00:50:00,800 --> 00:50:04,600 Speaker 1: because nobody has the same drives. They scored too quickly. 1025 00:50:04,840 --> 00:50:07,520 Speaker 1: They had been playing well, so now they have nothing 1026 00:50:07,560 --> 00:50:10,920 Speaker 1: to hold on. Good news, Mark. As we move on, 1027 00:50:11,480 --> 00:50:16,360 Speaker 1: the Baltimore Ravens continue to slip off the radar radar anymore. 1028 00:50:16,760 --> 00:50:19,760 Speaker 1: They gone. They're latest set by came at the Big 1029 00:50:19,800 --> 00:50:22,719 Speaker 1: Bell Bottom and it ain't happen in Berlin. So give 1030 00:50:22,719 --> 00:50:28,080 Speaker 1: it off where the only ones keeping it going. Where 1031 00:50:28,200 --> 00:50:31,480 Speaker 1: Colin Kaepernick threw two touchdown passes to lead the forty 1032 00:50:31,520 --> 00:50:36,319 Speaker 1: Niners to twenty win over John Harbo's team. Mark we 1033 00:50:36,440 --> 00:50:40,440 Speaker 1: forked the Ravens playoff chances last week. Uh, no regrets 1034 00:50:40,440 --> 00:50:43,799 Speaker 1: after what we saw today. No, I mean, it's really 1035 00:50:43,840 --> 00:50:48,600 Speaker 1: only Baltimore Secondary can turn Colin Kaepernick into a functional quarterback. 1036 00:50:48,640 --> 00:50:50,319 Speaker 1: He played his best game of the year by far. 1037 00:50:50,640 --> 00:50:52,600 Speaker 1: Tore Smith even got a ball well. And that's the 1038 00:50:52,640 --> 00:50:56,200 Speaker 1: saddest thing because outside of Steve Smith, who he I 1039 00:50:56,239 --> 00:50:58,080 Speaker 1: think with kind of injury he had, I don't think 1040 00:50:58,080 --> 00:51:00,280 Speaker 1: we would even be getting out of bed is Eventually 1041 00:51:00,360 --> 00:51:02,800 Speaker 1: a broken back came in and every time he's on 1042 00:51:02,840 --> 00:51:05,160 Speaker 1: the field for the Baltimore he's the heart and soul 1043 00:51:05,160 --> 00:51:08,480 Speaker 1: of that entire team. But you watch an Kwan Bolden 1044 00:51:08,560 --> 00:51:13,240 Speaker 1: and Tori Smith each yards for Tory Smith, a hundred 1045 00:51:13,239 --> 00:51:15,279 Speaker 1: and two for bold And these were your receivers a 1046 00:51:15,320 --> 00:51:17,880 Speaker 1: few years ago. Now they're making plays for the forty 1047 00:51:17,960 --> 00:51:21,240 Speaker 1: Niners and there's nothing outside of Crockett Gilmore and Steve 1048 00:51:21,280 --> 00:51:25,719 Speaker 1: Smith in Baltimore or flack of got any tough to 1049 00:51:25,719 --> 00:51:28,160 Speaker 1: watch those two guys scoring it's a little bit, you know. 1050 00:51:28,400 --> 00:51:30,319 Speaker 1: It's I guess you're not allowed to really say this 1051 00:51:30,400 --> 00:51:33,200 Speaker 1: because he's done so much, but Ozzie Newsom should get 1052 00:51:33,200 --> 00:51:34,920 Speaker 1: a little heat. You would think, right, you got this 1053 00:51:35,000 --> 00:51:37,560 Speaker 1: franchise quarterback, your painting twenty million a year, and you 1054 00:51:37,600 --> 00:51:39,319 Speaker 1: didn't give him, you didn't give him the team. Well, 1055 00:51:39,320 --> 00:51:42,359 Speaker 1: you must have read my post because it was I think. Well, 1056 00:51:42,440 --> 00:51:45,240 Speaker 1: I might have erased it in the end, but it's basically, 1057 00:51:45,239 --> 00:51:48,640 Speaker 1: I feel like this front office put this team together 1058 00:51:48,719 --> 00:51:51,000 Speaker 1: poorly this season. There's no way around it. In the past, 1059 00:51:51,080 --> 00:51:53,560 Speaker 1: Baltimore has had what appeared to be weaknesses on paper 1060 00:51:53,920 --> 00:51:56,200 Speaker 1: and they shore it up and they're still going to 1061 00:51:56,239 --> 00:51:59,319 Speaker 1: win eleven or twelve games. There are distinct weaknesses with 1062 00:51:59,400 --> 00:52:03,879 Speaker 1: this team. Really. The secondary is an absolute Every week 1063 00:52:04,000 --> 00:52:07,000 Speaker 1: on the couch, m j D and I tell her 1064 00:52:07,120 --> 00:52:10,000 Speaker 1: both were referring to Flacco as a check down quarterback, 1065 00:52:10,040 --> 00:52:13,399 Speaker 1: which isn't exactly what you want to hear. He said 1066 00:52:13,440 --> 00:52:16,680 Speaker 1: that what his game works best when he has someone. 1067 00:52:17,160 --> 00:52:18,799 Speaker 1: I guess you could say this about any quarterback, but 1068 00:52:19,120 --> 00:52:21,399 Speaker 1: when ray Rice was there, that's when Joe Flacco could 1069 00:52:21,400 --> 00:52:23,560 Speaker 1: be his most effective. He had someone to check it down. 1070 00:52:23,560 --> 00:52:26,319 Speaker 1: To he doesn't have that. That is clearly not with 1071 00:52:26,360 --> 00:52:37,320 Speaker 1: their offenses. Correct that they said that and it's not true. 1072 00:52:37,440 --> 00:52:39,359 Speaker 1: They also laughed at me when I said that Brian 1073 00:52:39,400 --> 00:52:41,680 Speaker 1: Horror would start another game this year because Ryan Mounts 1074 00:52:42,520 --> 00:52:47,239 Speaker 1: don't cross west. We got to get Sally Wilcox's in 1075 00:52:47,239 --> 00:52:50,759 Speaker 1: the studio because he he laughed at Greg when he 1076 00:52:50,800 --> 00:52:53,040 Speaker 1: first came in around the NFL television show which we 1077 00:52:53,120 --> 00:52:55,520 Speaker 1: used to be on. Um. He laughed at Greg when 1078 00:52:55,560 --> 00:52:58,640 Speaker 1: Greg questioned Peyton Manning and then he disappeared. Let you 1079 00:52:58,640 --> 00:53:00,880 Speaker 1: were on this past Thursday, and they Sally was nowhere 1080 00:53:00,880 --> 00:53:03,160 Speaker 1: to be found. But they called that knockout t KO 1081 00:53:03,280 --> 00:53:05,440 Speaker 1: or they gotta try out someone else next week to 1082 00:53:05,480 --> 00:53:08,680 Speaker 1: defend Peyton Manning against you wait, hold on, how bad 1083 00:53:09,080 --> 00:53:17,040 Speaker 1: is Levi Stadium turf? Justin Tucker was foot like sunk 1084 00:53:17,160 --> 00:53:19,799 Speaker 1: into the field on that kick and he ended up missing. 1085 00:53:21,160 --> 00:53:23,560 Speaker 1: It's happened over and over that one of those fields 1086 00:53:23,560 --> 00:53:28,600 Speaker 1: against site of Super Bowl fifty. The kicker's foot disappeared 1087 00:53:28,600 --> 00:53:31,120 Speaker 1: in the turf when he planted like a giant like 1088 00:53:31,280 --> 00:53:35,040 Speaker 1: grass divot flies across space after he tried to you know, 1089 00:53:35,080 --> 00:53:37,239 Speaker 1: it was it was embarrassing, Yeah, it's a tough thing 1090 00:53:37,320 --> 00:53:39,759 Speaker 1: because they've they built up that stadium too for so 1091 00:53:39,800 --> 00:53:42,480 Speaker 1: long of like it's got all these twenty one century 1092 00:53:42,880 --> 00:53:46,240 Speaker 1: you know, innovations of the fan experience and everything is different, 1093 00:53:46,360 --> 00:53:48,200 Speaker 1: like you know when you're at the game. But you know, 1094 00:53:48,239 --> 00:53:52,040 Speaker 1: we can't, you know, make graphy has been a little overrated. 1095 00:53:52,680 --> 00:53:57,840 Speaker 1: They better calling Carl Speckler to head up that ground. Croupy, 1096 00:53:58,040 --> 00:54:03,400 Speaker 1: Bill Murray and Caddy set I thought you were ever 1097 00:54:03,719 --> 00:54:06,239 Speaker 1: twenty minutes on the watch. We'll get one of those 1098 00:54:06,239 --> 00:54:11,120 Speaker 1: references from talking Jim Toma, was that is there, George Toma. 1099 00:54:11,520 --> 00:54:13,600 Speaker 1: They used to really have kind of a field expert 1100 00:54:13,600 --> 00:54:16,239 Speaker 1: who would go around to the NFL field and pick 1101 00:54:16,320 --> 00:54:19,080 Speaker 1: them up. T can we get like some uh some 1102 00:54:19,160 --> 00:54:22,479 Speaker 1: type of signal or bell? Whenever West makes a dated 1103 00:54:22,520 --> 00:54:25,799 Speaker 1: cultural reference, we'll work on that, Okay, cool, I think 1104 00:54:25,840 --> 00:54:31,919 Speaker 1: that was or eight one a long time ago. But 1105 00:54:32,600 --> 00:54:34,279 Speaker 1: I did how about I did get the pee wee 1106 00:54:34,400 --> 00:54:37,520 Speaker 1: Herman dance today from Steve Smith. I did recognize that 1107 00:54:37,960 --> 00:54:40,799 Speaker 1: timeless though I felt like that was in Caddyshack time. 1108 00:54:41,120 --> 00:54:43,319 Speaker 1: Oh no, I forgot Dan hated Caddy. I am a 1109 00:54:43,320 --> 00:54:45,440 Speaker 1: little anti Caddy Shack. I don't know, I just never 1110 00:54:45,480 --> 00:54:48,359 Speaker 1: connected with me. It doesn't mean it's not good. Let's 1111 00:54:48,400 --> 00:54:50,400 Speaker 1: move on. Yeah, I think it'd be good to move on. 1112 00:54:50,640 --> 00:54:56,439 Speaker 1: Do you wait? Do you like not particularly? It's fine? Greg, Yeah, 1113 00:54:56,480 --> 00:54:59,640 Speaker 1: I like it. I like it. That's not a glowyor well. 1114 00:54:59,719 --> 00:55:01,360 Speaker 1: I don't think of when's the last time. It's like, 1115 00:55:01,360 --> 00:55:03,439 Speaker 1: how can you have an opinion about anything you haven't 1116 00:55:03,480 --> 00:55:05,640 Speaker 1: seen in the last ten years. I think they also 1117 00:55:05,719 --> 00:55:08,520 Speaker 1: be thrown out the window. What about airplane? I love airplanes. 1118 00:55:08,680 --> 00:55:10,000 Speaker 1: I have seen it, so there you go. But I've 1119 00:55:10,040 --> 00:55:12,000 Speaker 1: seen that recently and I still know that I like. 1120 00:55:12,160 --> 00:55:14,520 Speaker 1: I love it, Caddy Check. I feel like if I 1121 00:55:14,520 --> 00:55:16,800 Speaker 1: watched it now, I might not love its your thoughts, 1122 00:55:17,320 --> 00:55:20,440 Speaker 1: Caddischeck one of my top five favorite comedies, and I 1123 00:55:20,440 --> 00:55:22,719 Speaker 1: think you know you're not alone slightly on American If 1124 00:55:22,719 --> 00:55:24,879 Speaker 1: you don't like it, it is you take a lot 1125 00:55:24,880 --> 00:55:28,320 Speaker 1: of jabs west at um sports writers. I do. Yeah, 1126 00:55:28,400 --> 00:55:31,160 Speaker 1: it's one of my favorites. Like activities. The thing like 1127 00:55:31,200 --> 00:55:34,520 Speaker 1: sports writers, what they really like to do is listen 1128 00:55:34,560 --> 00:55:37,600 Speaker 1: to Bruce Springsteen and watch Caddy Shack. I love to 1129 00:55:37,640 --> 00:55:40,040 Speaker 1: do that also, but I don't like staying around all 1130 00:55:40,080 --> 00:55:43,600 Speaker 1: day quoting Caddy check and telling people how great Bruce, 1131 00:55:43,800 --> 00:55:45,759 Speaker 1: you would just like us to carve seven minutes out 1132 00:55:45,800 --> 00:55:49,040 Speaker 1: of the podcast to discuss it. It's about me. I 1133 00:55:49,160 --> 00:55:52,360 Speaker 1: don't think that I've been the one discussing marks in 1134 00:55:52,400 --> 00:55:54,400 Speaker 1: a rush, markets in a rush late in these Sundays. 1135 00:55:54,400 --> 00:55:57,359 Speaker 1: He wants to get out of anywhere possible. So let's 1136 00:55:57,400 --> 00:55:59,960 Speaker 1: move on to your old friend, Brian Hory or whore. 1137 00:56:00,000 --> 00:56:02,640 Speaker 1: With three touchdown passes, all of them a third down, 1138 00:56:02,680 --> 00:56:05,520 Speaker 1: and the Texans approved to two and four with at 1139 00:56:06,520 --> 00:56:10,880 Speaker 1: over the Jaguars West, the struggle for progress continues for 1140 00:56:11,000 --> 00:56:14,200 Speaker 1: one in five Jacksonville. Yeah, Blake Bortles is on pace 1141 00:56:14,320 --> 00:56:16,799 Speaker 1: now for four and three fifty yards and thirty five 1142 00:56:16,840 --> 00:56:21,200 Speaker 1: touchdowns and about three hundred backbreaking interceptions. I mean these 1143 00:56:21,680 --> 00:56:25,680 Speaker 1: their offense moves the ball. They look pretty explosive at times. 1144 00:56:26,120 --> 00:56:30,440 Speaker 1: But he had a backbreaking interception right before halftime, had 1145 00:56:30,480 --> 00:56:33,440 Speaker 1: another interception in the second half that that was really hurtful, 1146 00:56:33,760 --> 00:56:35,719 Speaker 1: and missed a couple of wide receivers who were wide 1147 00:56:35,760 --> 00:56:39,879 Speaker 1: open for potential long touchdowns. So I think as well 1148 00:56:39,920 --> 00:56:42,680 Speaker 1: as he's playing, he's not helping them in the wind column. 1149 00:56:43,640 --> 00:56:49,160 Speaker 1: At some point their progress is faced with reality, which 1150 00:56:49,200 --> 00:56:51,839 Speaker 1: is that if you're ranking teams based on results, their 1151 00:56:51,920 --> 00:56:54,040 Speaker 1: number thirty two right now because they just lost to 1152 00:56:54,120 --> 00:56:56,680 Speaker 1: the Bucks and the Texans in back to back weeks, 1153 00:56:57,280 --> 00:57:00,160 Speaker 1: therefore doesn't get worse than that, which is tie for 1154 00:57:00,239 --> 00:57:02,440 Speaker 1: the worst worst spot. And part of and the problem 1155 00:57:02,440 --> 00:57:05,719 Speaker 1: now too is let's say Bortles continues to make progress, 1156 00:57:05,719 --> 00:57:09,160 Speaker 1: but they go three and thirteen and manage or front 1157 00:57:09,200 --> 00:57:11,960 Speaker 1: office decides they need to start fresh with the GM 1158 00:57:12,000 --> 00:57:14,600 Speaker 1: and coach. Then Bordles has to start over the and 1159 00:57:14,680 --> 00:57:18,880 Speaker 1: once you get into that situation, that's how progress gets stunted. 1160 00:57:18,960 --> 00:57:21,360 Speaker 1: I don't think the offense because watching the Bucks game 1161 00:57:21,480 --> 00:57:24,240 Speaker 1: and then this parts of this one that the offense 1162 00:57:24,360 --> 00:57:27,320 Speaker 1: feels close. There are a lot of these long piece 1163 00:57:27,520 --> 00:57:30,440 Speaker 1: and it's it's it's interesting that it's the defense on 1164 00:57:30,480 --> 00:57:33,800 Speaker 1: a Gust Bradley team that had no pass rush last 1165 00:57:33,800 --> 00:57:36,640 Speaker 1: week when they needed it. There's no distinct element to 1166 00:57:36,720 --> 00:57:39,400 Speaker 1: this defense that sets it apart, and your years into 1167 00:57:39,400 --> 00:57:42,400 Speaker 1: Gus Gus Bradley's program, So I put it on the coach. 1168 00:57:42,440 --> 00:57:44,600 Speaker 1: Doesn't help that Blake Borls is also the team's leading 1169 00:57:44,640 --> 00:57:47,000 Speaker 1: rusher today. Yeah, if they don't get t J yelden Back. 1170 00:57:47,080 --> 00:57:49,680 Speaker 1: I mean Toby Garrhardt and den Ard Robinson, they're not 1171 00:57:49,720 --> 00:57:51,320 Speaker 1: going to get it done. They're back to where they 1172 00:57:51,320 --> 00:57:53,240 Speaker 1: were last year on the ground and this is that's 1173 00:57:53,240 --> 00:57:56,520 Speaker 1: a disaster. West is DeAndre Hopkins the best wide receiver 1174 00:57:56,600 --> 00:57:58,600 Speaker 1: in the league that nobody talks about. Yeah, he's like 1175 00:57:58,720 --> 00:58:00,960 Speaker 1: Jordy Nelson and Golden Tape used to be before people 1176 00:58:01,000 --> 00:58:03,840 Speaker 1: figured out they were good. DeAndre Hopkins is incredible. Hey, 1177 00:58:03,880 --> 00:58:06,480 Speaker 1: he made a bunch of circus catches today. He saw 1178 00:58:06,480 --> 00:58:08,640 Speaker 1: it pace for a hundred and forty catches two thousand 1179 00:58:08,720 --> 00:58:11,280 Speaker 1: yards in thirteen touched with the worst quarterback situation in 1180 00:58:11,280 --> 00:58:14,200 Speaker 1: the league. Yeah, the guy is unbelievable. And he's also 1181 00:58:14,880 --> 00:58:16,960 Speaker 1: has more targets at this point in the season than 1182 00:58:17,000 --> 00:58:20,800 Speaker 1: any wide receiver since Brian Lawyers. Like last five and 1183 00:58:20,800 --> 00:58:24,120 Speaker 1: a half quarters are sterling though that's fair. I mean, 1184 00:58:24,200 --> 00:58:27,240 Speaker 1: he's he was amazing today last week and good this week. 1185 00:58:27,400 --> 00:58:30,280 Speaker 1: He it was facing the Jaguars defense which made the 1186 00:58:30,320 --> 00:58:32,600 Speaker 1: Buccaneers look good last year, and he has benefit of 1187 00:58:32,600 --> 00:58:35,840 Speaker 1: Arian Foster to help move the change. But that being said, 1188 00:58:35,880 --> 00:58:40,720 Speaker 1: he's so much better than Ryan Mallett. Yeah, I mean, Howyer, 1189 00:58:40,760 --> 00:58:43,400 Speaker 1: they probably should have. If this season isn't gonna go 1190 00:58:43,400 --> 00:58:46,000 Speaker 1: anywhere for Houston, they probably won't because Brian Hoyer, even 1191 00:58:46,000 --> 00:58:48,560 Speaker 1: if he started sixteen games, they weren't going to go off. 1192 00:58:48,600 --> 00:58:50,920 Speaker 1: But they probably should add a little more patience in 1193 00:58:51,120 --> 00:58:58,240 Speaker 1: hindsight because and half quarters that was so. But if 1194 00:58:58,240 --> 00:59:00,320 Speaker 1: we think Andy Dalton is gonna come back to I 1195 00:59:00,360 --> 00:59:05,320 Speaker 1: guarantee Brian Hoyer does. They're not gonna face Jacksonville every week. 1196 00:59:05,560 --> 00:59:08,760 Speaker 1: All right, let's move on another team that needed a win. 1197 00:59:09,280 --> 00:59:13,640 Speaker 1: Dan Campbell for President, make America great again. Dan Campbell, 1198 00:59:13,960 --> 00:59:17,200 Speaker 1: the hulking interim coach, looked like a genius in his debut, 1199 00:59:17,280 --> 00:59:19,600 Speaker 1: turning the Dolphins into a ground and down beast and 1200 00:59:19,640 --> 00:59:24,200 Speaker 1: a win over the Titans. Colleen Well, the Dolphins lose 1201 00:59:24,240 --> 00:59:28,800 Speaker 1: another game with the teal incredible hulk wearing a heads um. Yes, 1202 00:59:28,880 --> 00:59:31,880 Speaker 1: but Dan Campbell, first of all, I felt like the 1203 00:59:31,920 --> 00:59:35,560 Speaker 1: orange collar he had on that polo was extra bright 1204 00:59:35,680 --> 00:59:40,240 Speaker 1: after they won. He was, I know, but it was 1205 00:59:40,320 --> 00:59:42,400 Speaker 1: just like he was radiating. I think after the comments 1206 00:59:42,440 --> 00:59:44,520 Speaker 1: that he was worried about throwing up on his shoes 1207 00:59:44,640 --> 00:59:47,760 Speaker 1: kind of thing before leading into the game. Um, the 1208 00:59:47,840 --> 00:59:51,080 Speaker 1: way that the defense responded in This was one of 1209 00:59:51,120 --> 00:59:53,800 Speaker 1: my biggest takeaways because they only had one sack coming 1210 00:59:53,840 --> 00:59:56,560 Speaker 1: into this game combined as a team, and just in 1211 00:59:56,600 --> 00:59:59,240 Speaker 1: the first half alone they had four sacks, five and 1212 00:59:59,240 --> 01:00:01,720 Speaker 1: a half sacks, and Cam Wake had four of them, 1213 01:00:02,000 --> 01:00:04,880 Speaker 1: so they were I mean, defensive line woke up such 1214 01:00:04,920 --> 01:00:08,960 Speaker 1: a difference from what we've seen this entire season. And 1215 01:00:09,120 --> 01:00:13,720 Speaker 1: I mean Ryan Tannehill, he didn't really respond any differently, 1216 01:00:13,880 --> 01:00:17,200 Speaker 1: but that defensive line did. And all right, so Dan 1217 01:00:17,240 --> 01:00:21,840 Speaker 1: Campbell's Joe Joe philmen sitting at home watching NTV, like, hey, great, 1218 01:00:21,960 --> 01:00:25,200 Speaker 1: Cameron Wake are best player by far, is healthy again? 1219 01:00:25,240 --> 01:00:27,600 Speaker 1: Gets four sacks and this clown in in a tight 1220 01:00:27,600 --> 01:00:29,320 Speaker 1: shirt gets all the credit for it, like he had 1221 01:00:29,360 --> 01:00:33,680 Speaker 1: anything to do and motivated the Oklahoma drill did the job. 1222 01:00:33,760 --> 01:00:39,600 Speaker 1: Give me a brighter collar, Lamar Miller, Miller, Joe Bibbs. 1223 01:00:39,800 --> 01:00:41,400 Speaker 1: Maybe you give the guy that was like a top 1224 01:00:41,400 --> 01:00:43,120 Speaker 1: ten running back in the league last year the rock 1225 01:00:43,240 --> 01:00:46,160 Speaker 1: and over a hundred yards. I mean, I didn't think 1226 01:00:46,160 --> 01:00:47,920 Speaker 1: we were going to see that, but he had more 1227 01:00:47,960 --> 01:00:50,280 Speaker 1: yards in this game than he had in combined the 1228 01:00:50,360 --> 01:00:52,800 Speaker 1: last three games. So he's finally running the ball and 1229 01:00:52,840 --> 01:00:54,160 Speaker 1: that's what they need to do. If they have him 1230 01:00:54,200 --> 01:00:55,720 Speaker 1: and he can do that, why aren't they running the 1231 01:00:55,760 --> 01:00:57,919 Speaker 1: ball more? And there was a little bit of controversy 1232 01:00:58,120 --> 01:01:01,600 Speaker 1: with a low hit on Arcus Mariotta of the Titans 1233 01:01:02,200 --> 01:01:05,440 Speaker 1: after the After the game, Ken wizzen Hunt, who might 1234 01:01:05,440 --> 01:01:08,520 Speaker 1: not be long for this job in Tennessee, he had 1235 01:01:08,760 --> 01:01:11,920 Speaker 1: this to say about a hit by Vernon on the 1236 01:01:11,960 --> 01:01:17,200 Speaker 1: defensive line of the Dolphins. I think it was bs. 1237 01:01:17,920 --> 01:01:19,439 Speaker 1: I think it should be taken out of the game. 1238 01:01:19,760 --> 01:01:22,200 Speaker 1: That's not that's not the way you play football. I 1239 01:01:22,200 --> 01:01:24,600 Speaker 1: think it was done with the idea of trying to 1240 01:01:25,400 --> 01:01:31,720 Speaker 1: heard our quarterback, and that's that's football, showing some fight. 1241 01:01:31,800 --> 01:01:36,400 Speaker 1: Good job, Ken, Yeah, your thoughts. Connor work covered this 1242 01:01:36,480 --> 01:01:39,000 Speaker 1: game for us and mentioned several times that he thought 1243 01:01:39,000 --> 01:01:41,560 Speaker 1: the Titans should have taken Marcus Mariotta out of the 1244 01:01:41,600 --> 01:01:44,240 Speaker 1: game because he was getting battered around so much in 1245 01:01:44,280 --> 01:01:47,040 Speaker 1: that the offensive line was getting clown suited by Cameron Wake, 1246 01:01:49,080 --> 01:01:51,959 Speaker 1: you know, and he got hurt. It appeared he was down, 1247 01:01:52,120 --> 01:01:54,560 Speaker 1: It looked terrible. It looked like he was gonna come out, 1248 01:01:54,560 --> 01:01:56,200 Speaker 1: and then he stayed in there. He showed some toughness, 1249 01:01:56,200 --> 01:01:58,160 Speaker 1: but maybe I wasn't on you know, Is that worried 1250 01:01:58,200 --> 01:02:00,680 Speaker 1: about him. This was the time to call off the dots, 1251 01:02:00,680 --> 01:02:02,800 Speaker 1: and he did. Eventually he put in Mettenberger when they 1252 01:02:02,800 --> 01:02:04,800 Speaker 1: were down I think seventeen in the fourth quarter, but 1253 01:02:04,840 --> 01:02:06,360 Speaker 1: he had to wear a knee brace when he went 1254 01:02:06,440 --> 01:02:09,840 Speaker 1: back into He said that Vernon apologized afterwards, which I 1255 01:02:09,840 --> 01:02:11,920 Speaker 1: know carries a whole lot of week. But I mean, 1256 01:02:11,920 --> 01:02:16,160 Speaker 1: the Titans are Workville, right because we were hanging on 1257 01:02:16,240 --> 01:02:18,480 Speaker 1: during their body's got to get together. Well, we'll talk 1258 01:02:18,520 --> 01:02:21,120 Speaker 1: on Tuesday. We can discuss. I know where my vote goes, 1259 01:02:21,200 --> 01:02:24,040 Speaker 1: because again, this is a THEFC South team that has 1260 01:02:24,160 --> 01:02:28,000 Speaker 1: zero going on when it counts. Retire to our conference room. 1261 01:02:28,240 --> 01:02:33,600 Speaker 1: Got some Danish, some coffee where that's only in the 1262 01:02:34,120 --> 01:02:37,160 Speaker 1: basement next to them. It's in the basement of the Alamo. See, 1263 01:02:37,200 --> 01:02:39,919 Speaker 1: I could do eighties references as well. Well, it's weird 1264 01:02:39,960 --> 01:02:43,040 Speaker 1: how you're just excluding Colleen automatically. I think it's worth, 1265 01:02:43,280 --> 01:02:45,960 Speaker 1: you know, inviting her to the committee. I vote for. 1266 01:02:47,200 --> 01:02:50,680 Speaker 1: And I don't know what we can use. It's our 1267 01:02:50,720 --> 01:02:55,880 Speaker 1: boys club. We'll buy one more day Dames in the club. Yes, 1268 01:02:56,000 --> 01:03:03,880 Speaker 1: I know cancer in the podcast man business. Of course, 1269 01:03:03,920 --> 01:03:09,320 Speaker 1: Colleen is welcome.

You guys, you know there's there's a 1282 01:04:01,160 --> 01:04:04,480 Speaker 1: little bit of heat, little backstory in this one, something 1283 01:04:04,520 --> 01:04:08,160 Speaker 1: about deflated football's or were they west. Let's get into 1284 01:04:08,200 --> 01:04:11,440 Speaker 1: that first, now, just kidding, Let's just talk. Let's talk 1285 01:04:11,440 --> 01:04:14,760 Speaker 1: about the game, the Colts and the Patriots, and uh, 1286 01:04:14,760 --> 01:04:17,160 Speaker 1: this is a game. Tom Brady throws over three yards, 1287 01:04:17,200 --> 01:04:20,360 Speaker 1: throws for three touchdowns. The Garrett Blunt rushes for ninety 1288 01:04:20,400 --> 01:04:24,520 Speaker 1: yards and a touch The Pats jump ahead, stay ahead, 1289 01:04:24,840 --> 01:04:28,240 Speaker 1: end up winning the game um by a final score 1290 01:04:28,400 --> 01:04:34,720 Speaker 1: of thank you thirty four seven. My computer shutting down 1291 01:04:34,880 --> 01:04:38,320 Speaker 1: like my sinus cavity right now. But you know, this 1292 01:04:38,360 --> 01:04:40,400 Speaker 1: is a game that was a close game, and surprisingly close. 1293 01:04:40,440 --> 01:04:42,760 Speaker 1: People thought this would be the biggest blot in history 1294 01:04:42,840 --> 01:04:45,600 Speaker 1: eighty burger talk going around. But this was a six 1295 01:04:45,680 --> 01:04:50,439 Speaker 1: point game with late in the third quarter when Chuck 1296 01:04:50,440 --> 01:04:54,280 Speaker 1: Bugano called to play that quite frankly, let's be honest. 1297 01:04:54,640 --> 01:04:57,440 Speaker 1: If things go the wrong way and the and their 1298 01:04:57,600 --> 01:05:00,959 Speaker 1: owners acts a certain way, it could cost Chucky's job. 1299 01:05:01,320 --> 01:05:05,960 Speaker 1: He calls a bizarre fake punt attempt attempt involving Griff Whalen, 1300 01:05:06,080 --> 01:05:08,840 Speaker 1: who is, of course, uh the centerpiece of Connor or 1301 01:05:08,960 --> 01:05:12,240 Speaker 1: is uh his Madden Football team? Um, I don't know 1302 01:05:12,280 --> 01:05:13,480 Speaker 1: what they were trying to do as a fourth and 1303 01:05:13,600 --> 01:05:16,640 Speaker 1: three play. If you're watching on YouTube, you could uh 1304 01:05:16,640 --> 01:05:18,480 Speaker 1: an NFL now, you could check it out right here. 1305 01:05:19,160 --> 01:05:21,920 Speaker 1: The play is snapped for whatever is an immediately a loscus. 1306 01:05:21,920 --> 01:05:25,840 Speaker 1: There was five Patriots defenders. The Patriots quickly take over 1307 01:05:25,960 --> 01:05:29,200 Speaker 1: score again that ended up being all they needed. They 1308 01:05:29,400 --> 01:05:33,720 Speaker 1: gave up a late score thirty seven final Greg Rosenthal 1309 01:05:34,200 --> 01:05:36,720 Speaker 1: listen thrown a bease if you will not what you're 1310 01:05:36,760 --> 01:05:38,640 Speaker 1: looking for in terms of a blowout that made the 1311 01:05:38,640 --> 01:05:41,640 Speaker 1: cultural terror. Wasn't looking for a blowout. Great, you go 1312 01:05:41,840 --> 01:05:44,480 Speaker 1: to play one of your biggest rivals from the last decade. 1313 01:05:44,480 --> 01:05:46,840 Speaker 1: Although it's been a one sided rivalry ever since Andrew 1314 01:05:46,880 --> 01:05:49,120 Speaker 1: Luck's been there, they haven't won a game. This was 1315 01:05:49,320 --> 01:05:52,000 Speaker 1: the closest game, and they pretty much did what they 1316 01:05:52,040 --> 01:05:54,080 Speaker 1: wanted to do on offense. If it wasn't for Julian 1317 01:05:54,200 --> 01:05:57,240 Speaker 1: Edelman's drop that turned into a pick six, this game 1318 01:05:57,280 --> 01:05:59,680 Speaker 1: maybe doesn't look quite as close in the fourth quarter 1319 01:06:00,120 --> 01:06:02,160 Speaker 1: that with that play, it was all the enjoyment I 1320 01:06:02,200 --> 01:06:06,120 Speaker 1: needed at it tonight. That was and that will be 1321 01:06:06,160 --> 01:06:09,600 Speaker 1: the narrative for you know, obnoxious Pats fans is that well, 1322 01:06:09,640 --> 01:06:11,760 Speaker 1: we got that trick play and that's all we needed. 1323 01:06:11,920 --> 01:06:14,360 Speaker 1: But it was very embarrassing by the cults. I mean 1324 01:06:14,360 --> 01:06:16,280 Speaker 1: it was it was the play that that's how this 1325 01:06:16,280 --> 01:06:19,120 Speaker 1: game will ultimately be remembered. I mean we saw on 1326 01:06:19,160 --> 01:06:22,640 Speaker 1: television the Chuck boganos seemed to mouth to Griff Whale 1327 01:06:22,680 --> 01:06:26,240 Speaker 1: and afterwards like why did you snap that? Because it's well, 1328 01:06:26,320 --> 01:06:28,240 Speaker 1: we'll have to hear more from the coach himself, but 1329 01:06:28,280 --> 01:06:31,080 Speaker 1: it seems like they were trying to draw the Patriots 1330 01:06:31,120 --> 01:06:34,400 Speaker 1: off sides. They jumbled the defense around. They got a 1331 01:06:34,400 --> 01:06:36,920 Speaker 1: little bit caught off guard. But the Patriots are wise. 1332 01:06:36,960 --> 01:06:40,120 Speaker 1: They kept five guys right home over griff Whale and 1333 01:06:40,160 --> 01:06:43,560 Speaker 1: when he snapped it, they just smothered him and it 1334 01:06:43,640 --> 01:06:45,920 Speaker 1: was over. And then they then from there the Killers, 1335 01:06:45,920 --> 01:06:48,680 Speaker 1: they just marched in for a touchdown. To what end. 1336 01:06:48,880 --> 01:06:51,640 Speaker 1: I have no idea what the Colts were doing on 1337 01:06:51,640 --> 01:06:55,360 Speaker 1: that play. I am genuinely curious to hear the philosophy 1338 01:06:55,400 --> 01:06:59,560 Speaker 1: behind that formation. Well, maybe maybe Griff Whalen, who has 1339 01:06:59,600 --> 01:07:02,920 Speaker 1: been the enterpiece of Connor's Madden team, Uh it's a 1340 01:07:03,000 --> 01:07:06,480 Speaker 1: Patriots post to flate Gate team that maybe moving to 1341 01:07:06,520 --> 01:07:09,360 Speaker 1: another city. Maybe he's maybe he was secretly trying to 1342 01:07:09,440 --> 01:07:11,280 Speaker 1: win this game for the Patriots. I don't know how 1343 01:07:11,280 --> 01:07:15,080 Speaker 1: this all makes sense between the two worlds. But like 1344 01:07:15,160 --> 01:07:18,200 Speaker 1: griff Will, Whalen did get a touchdown later in the game. 1345 01:07:19,600 --> 01:07:21,680 Speaker 1: So the Colts aren't even allowed to set up in 1346 01:07:21,720 --> 01:07:24,640 Speaker 1: that formation. Apparently, why would they even try it was? 1347 01:07:24,720 --> 01:07:28,040 Speaker 1: It was one of the worst plays in special teams 1348 01:07:28,080 --> 01:07:30,520 Speaker 1: history that you could ever ever think of. But it's 1349 01:07:30,520 --> 01:07:33,400 Speaker 1: got a distracted from the fact that Andrew Luck really 1350 01:07:33,400 --> 01:07:36,680 Speaker 1: struggled in the second half. Maybe he's not healthy, maybe 1351 01:07:36,720 --> 01:07:39,040 Speaker 1: he is, but he was spraying passes. I don't think 1352 01:07:39,080 --> 01:07:42,000 Speaker 1: he's the most accurate quarterback, at least compared to the quarterbacks. 1353 01:07:42,040 --> 01:07:43,960 Speaker 1: He's at the same level of you know, the top 1354 01:07:44,040 --> 01:07:46,280 Speaker 1: five to ten quarterbacks. He's not always the most accurate, 1355 01:07:46,280 --> 01:07:48,320 Speaker 1: but he was spraying passes. I think it's fair to 1356 01:07:48,320 --> 01:07:50,920 Speaker 1: ask if he if his shoulders not back to strength yet, 1357 01:07:50,960 --> 01:07:52,680 Speaker 1: because he didn't. It's not the same guy that we've 1358 01:07:52,680 --> 01:07:55,680 Speaker 1: seen before. He guessn't play well all year. That's true 1359 01:07:55,920 --> 01:07:59,320 Speaker 1: before before the string shoulder. I didn't think he was 1360 01:07:59,360 --> 01:08:02,360 Speaker 1: throwing well in the season opener or Week two. Had 1361 01:08:02,360 --> 01:08:04,120 Speaker 1: a good first drive where they go down to the 1362 01:08:04,160 --> 01:08:07,320 Speaker 1: field and they have short passes, but the Patriots seemed 1363 01:08:07,320 --> 01:08:09,680 Speaker 1: to kind of figure out how to drop another guy 1364 01:08:09,840 --> 01:08:12,720 Speaker 1: underneath and when you took away the first read. This 1365 01:08:12,760 --> 01:08:14,520 Speaker 1: isn't what the Luck that we've seen that when you 1366 01:08:14,560 --> 01:08:17,000 Speaker 1: take away the first read he gets flammix. But that 1367 01:08:17,000 --> 01:08:20,000 Speaker 1: that's what was happening. It seems like with the Patriots 1368 01:08:20,000 --> 01:08:21,720 Speaker 1: every week too. They know they did a pretty good 1369 01:08:21,800 --> 01:08:24,960 Speaker 1: job on Rob Minkowski held to fifty yards, but when 1370 01:08:25,000 --> 01:08:27,840 Speaker 1: that happens one of the other chess pieces blows up. 1371 01:08:27,920 --> 01:08:29,960 Speaker 1: Danny al Mendola has a big night. It just seems 1372 01:08:29,960 --> 01:08:32,760 Speaker 1: like every week it's a revolving star for this team, 1373 01:08:32,800 --> 01:08:35,320 Speaker 1: no matter what they do. In the defensive line really 1374 01:08:35,320 --> 01:08:37,599 Speaker 1: got a lot of pressure unluckily in the game. One 1375 01:08:37,640 --> 01:08:39,960 Speaker 1: of my favorite moment, I know this is gonna sound 1376 01:08:40,000 --> 01:08:43,439 Speaker 1: like a homer late in the game, Tom Brady, it's 1377 01:08:43,439 --> 01:08:45,880 Speaker 1: second and four, they're trying to kill the clock and 1378 01:08:45,920 --> 01:08:50,160 Speaker 1: he has an unbelievably bad delay of game. Did you 1379 01:08:50,160 --> 01:08:54,280 Speaker 1: guys see that unbelievably bad delay of game coming out 1380 01:08:54,280 --> 01:08:56,559 Speaker 1: of a Colts time out? And he wasn't even close 1381 01:08:56,600 --> 01:08:59,360 Speaker 1: to snapping the ball, And you can see Belichick in 1382 01:08:59,400 --> 01:09:02,960 Speaker 1: the headset going g D Tommy, you know what the 1383 01:09:03,320 --> 01:09:07,599 Speaker 1: was that? Like he was getting asson. He's getting pissed 1384 01:09:07,640 --> 01:09:09,880 Speaker 1: at Tom Brady because it was a terrible mistake with 1385 01:09:09,960 --> 01:09:11,760 Speaker 1: three minutes left in the game. It's like, that's why 1386 01:09:11,800 --> 01:09:14,439 Speaker 1: I like the Here come the trumpets and the page boys. 1387 01:09:14,520 --> 01:09:18,200 Speaker 1: As Greg gets carried around the New England Territory children 1388 01:09:18,600 --> 01:09:22,559 Speaker 1: with grapes and a harp sun. The sun has a 1389 01:09:22,600 --> 01:09:25,639 Speaker 1: face and it's smiling down upon the throne of ease, 1390 01:09:26,160 --> 01:09:29,000 Speaker 1: and you know what next week five and oh Pats 1391 01:09:29,040 --> 01:09:31,280 Speaker 1: four and one Jets, that will be fun. On the 1392 01:09:31,280 --> 01:09:35,320 Speaker 1: other side, the Colts now they're three and three, which 1393 01:09:35,360 --> 01:09:37,519 Speaker 1: is okay when you're playing the a f C South, 1394 01:09:38,200 --> 01:09:41,599 Speaker 1: but you have you have New Orleans at home and 1395 01:09:41,640 --> 01:09:43,479 Speaker 1: the Saints. We're not gonna go crazy about the Saints, 1396 01:09:43,479 --> 01:09:45,320 Speaker 1: but they could they could be frisky in that spot. 1397 01:09:45,760 --> 01:09:48,559 Speaker 1: And then you go at Carolina that's an undefeated team, 1398 01:09:48,840 --> 01:09:52,719 Speaker 1: and then home to Denver. Be careful, be careful. Indeed, 1399 01:09:52,800 --> 01:09:54,680 Speaker 1: this they could spiral on it. They could win this 1400 01:09:54,760 --> 01:09:57,799 Speaker 1: division at seven and nine. Be careful. A t NFL 1401 01:09:57,880 --> 01:10:01,520 Speaker 1: podcast who's already forked the Texans and has the Jaguars 1402 01:10:01,560 --> 01:10:05,519 Speaker 1: lined up for forking, then think about the Titans division. 1403 01:10:05,600 --> 01:10:07,320 Speaker 1: That's how we got in trouble last year. We fourked 1404 01:10:07,360 --> 01:10:09,599 Speaker 1: everyone but the Saints last year in the NFC South 1405 01:10:10,000 --> 01:10:12,840 Speaker 1: and then we got banged. I don't know, I mean, oh, 1406 01:10:12,920 --> 01:10:15,160 Speaker 1: watch out, like that could spire a lot of control 1407 01:10:15,400 --> 01:10:17,439 Speaker 1: because and they could be three and five, is I 1408 01:10:17,439 --> 01:10:19,280 Speaker 1: guess what you're saying. Maybe they could be six. They 1409 01:10:19,280 --> 01:10:21,599 Speaker 1: could be first of all, the Saints on the road. 1410 01:10:22,040 --> 01:10:24,559 Speaker 1: You know, let's not let's let's not get carried away. 1411 01:10:24,600 --> 01:10:26,599 Speaker 1: They lost to the Eagles by twenty nine the last 1412 01:10:26,600 --> 01:10:29,479 Speaker 1: time they were on the road. Uh, and so what 1413 01:10:29,560 --> 01:10:31,360 Speaker 1: if they were three and six? Three and six is 1414 01:10:31,520 --> 01:10:34,080 Speaker 1: very likely first place in the a f C S. Absolutely, 1415 01:10:34,880 --> 01:10:38,559 Speaker 1: that's a great division. Guess anything else. West will give 1416 01:10:38,600 --> 01:10:41,920 Speaker 1: you the last word on this game. Pats win. Sunday 1417 01:10:41,960 --> 01:10:46,320 Speaker 1: Night Football. I need to be here, well said, I 1418 01:10:46,800 --> 01:10:51,400 Speaker 1: could use one as well. That is our Sunday Nights Spectacular. 1419 01:10:52,160 --> 01:10:54,840 Speaker 1: We covered every game. Uh and it was a great 1420 01:10:54,920 --> 01:10:59,000 Speaker 1: job by all. The effort was there execution We'll have 1421 01:10:59,080 --> 01:11:01,439 Speaker 1: to listen back to know, but the effort I could tell. 1422 01:11:01,479 --> 01:11:06,000 Speaker 1: Everybody was totally involved. So that's it. Um. We will 1423 01:11:06,040 --> 01:11:09,760 Speaker 1: be back on Tuesday with another week of shows.
