00:00:00,480 --> 00:00:07,480
Speaker 1: The Around the NFL podcast, No floating trash bags. This

2
00:00:07,680 --> 00:00:12,040
Speaker 1: week from the Chris Westling podcast studio. It is Around

3
00:00:12,560 --> 00:00:17,880
Speaker 1: the NFL, the flagship program, the Playoff edition, the first

4
00:00:17,920 --> 00:00:23,160
Speaker 1: of for these bad boys, this one being well, that's

5
00:00:23,160 --> 00:00:25,840
Speaker 1: not even right because we're gonna have a double recap.

6
00:00:25,880 --> 00:00:29,960
Speaker 1: We got four games to dissect today, two more tomorrow night,

7
00:00:30,040 --> 00:00:33,840
Speaker 1: and that just getting warmed up before Division Round Championship Sunday,

8
00:00:33,880 --> 00:00:35,920
Speaker 1: and then of course the Super Bowl from Vegas where

9
00:00:35,960 --> 00:00:39,559
Speaker 1: we'll be and the playoff weekend that we just enjoyed.

10
00:00:40,159 --> 00:00:45,640
Speaker 1: Three blowouts and a tight one point affair and it

11
00:00:45,680 --> 00:00:48,760
Speaker 1: was a lot of fun. Dan hanss Greg Rosenthal, Mark Sessler,

12
00:00:49,400 --> 00:00:52,760
Speaker 1: heroes Greg. A lot of stuff went on this weekend,

13
00:00:52,840 --> 00:00:56,200
Speaker 1: some of it surprising, some of it not. But the

14
00:00:56,560 --> 00:01:00,480
Speaker 1: road to the Lombardi starts to clear, ever so gently.

15
00:01:00,760 --> 00:01:03,720
Speaker 2: I know it feels very strange that as we talk,

16
00:01:03,800 --> 00:01:06,640
Speaker 2: there's ten teams left that can win the Super Bowl.

17
00:01:06,640 --> 00:01:10,080
Speaker 2: We're coming off a high scene the team of atl

18
00:01:10,160 --> 00:01:12,679
Speaker 2: from a year ago win that game, and that game,

19
00:01:12,720 --> 00:01:15,040
Speaker 2: to me, it didn't save the weekend, and because I

20
00:01:15,080 --> 00:01:17,360
Speaker 2: don't think the weekend needed saving, but we needed a

21
00:01:17,360 --> 00:01:20,480
Speaker 2: game like that that was tight, and there's game management

22
00:01:20,560 --> 00:01:23,119
Speaker 2: decisions to talk about, because the other two were Sessler

23
00:01:23,200 --> 00:01:25,720
Speaker 2: specials where there were blowouts. But to me, at least

24
00:01:25,720 --> 00:01:27,640
Speaker 2: a couple of them were entertaining blowouts, and one of

25
00:01:27,640 --> 00:01:28,760
Speaker 2: them blew your mind blowouts.

26
00:01:28,760 --> 00:01:30,880
Speaker 1: So it had a little bit blow your mind blowout.

27
00:01:30,959 --> 00:01:34,800
Speaker 3: Yeah, And I mean that creates very juicy storylines. I

28
00:01:34,840 --> 00:01:36,880
Speaker 3: mean some of the wreckage and there are there have

29
00:01:36,959 --> 00:01:40,360
Speaker 3: been some floating trashback operations this weekend, and there will

30
00:01:40,760 --> 00:01:41,600
Speaker 3: be consequences.

31
00:01:42,560 --> 00:01:45,039
Speaker 1: Oh, that is certainly true. In fact, Mark's gonna take

32
00:01:45,040 --> 00:01:49,559
Speaker 1: them out back. In fact, let us get going here,

33
00:01:49,680 --> 00:01:53,720
Speaker 1: and we're going to start with uh, I was gonna

34
00:01:53,720 --> 00:01:55,600
Speaker 1: say the blow the blowout no one saw coming. There

35
00:01:55,600 --> 00:01:57,400
Speaker 1: were a couple of those this weekend, but the one

36
00:01:57,440 --> 00:02:04,000
Speaker 1: that went down in Texas today, there will be there

37
00:02:04,000 --> 00:02:10,760
Speaker 1: will be reverberations, I think. So there will be tremors,

38
00:02:10,960 --> 00:02:15,120
Speaker 1: there will be earthquakes, there will be dams breaking, there

39
00:02:15,160 --> 00:02:19,360
Speaker 1: will be people swallowed by swarms of locus. That's that

40
00:02:19,520 --> 00:02:23,120
Speaker 1: type of loss for the Cowboys. But on the flip side,

41
00:02:23,520 --> 00:02:27,639
Speaker 1: the Packers made an announcement that the Glory Train will

42
00:02:27,639 --> 00:02:32,160
Speaker 1: continue to ride unabated to Geral world.

43
00:02:32,280 --> 00:02:34,920
Speaker 4: First in ten football at the thirty eight of Dallas

44
00:02:35,800 --> 00:02:37,919
Speaker 4: play action of bootleg left half boot leg?

45
00:02:39,720 --> 00:02:45,600
Speaker 5: Why don't put down the right side plus go turns out? Touchdown? Touchdown?

46
00:02:45,840 --> 00:02:52,480
Speaker 5: Bloot lush craig a dagger, Hey, dagger, right to the

47
00:02:52,680 --> 00:02:54,639
Speaker 5: heart of the Cowboys.

48
00:02:55,720 --> 00:03:04,680
Speaker 1: Oh my goodness. Ooo, bongas are nice. This is fancy

49
00:03:05,160 --> 00:03:08,120
Speaker 1: when we get this is the official Big Funk theme song.

50
00:03:09,680 --> 00:03:14,160
Speaker 1: The Randy Shah beds behind the glass. Die hard Packers fan.

51
00:03:15,840 --> 00:03:18,119
Speaker 1: You know, there's another dude, seems like a nice guy

52
00:03:18,160 --> 00:03:22,200
Speaker 1: that we watch these games in the theater here who's

53
00:03:22,200 --> 00:03:24,480
Speaker 1: a Packers fan. And he came in up the steps

54
00:03:24,560 --> 00:03:26,679
Speaker 1: during the late game, and everybody gave hi a little

55
00:03:26,720 --> 00:03:29,720
Speaker 1: round of applause because he's a diehard Packer fan. And

56
00:03:29,840 --> 00:03:31,800
Speaker 1: I go to you start wearing that Packer shirt and

57
00:03:31,840 --> 00:03:33,840
Speaker 1: he's like, no, man, I lived through two and six.

58
00:03:34,240 --> 00:03:36,400
Speaker 1: I was like, you live through two and six, Well,

59
00:03:36,400 --> 00:03:38,360
Speaker 1: it must be so hard to be a Packers fan.

60
00:03:39,280 --> 00:03:41,640
Speaker 1: Try to walk a mile on lease shoes. Baby, All right,

61
00:03:43,280 --> 00:03:45,040
Speaker 1: that's not the point. The point is the pack That's

62
00:03:45,080 --> 00:03:50,000
Speaker 1: not the point. The Packers absolutely roll the green. The

63
00:03:50,120 --> 00:03:52,800
Speaker 1: Dallas Cowboys forty eight to thirty two, and do not

64
00:03:54,160 --> 00:03:56,320
Speaker 1: do not look at that final score as a proper

65
00:03:56,320 --> 00:04:00,000
Speaker 1: indicator of what happened in this game, because Green Bay

66
00:04:00,160 --> 00:04:05,320
Speaker 1: offense from the initial possession Greg Rosenthal absolutely wipe the

67
00:04:05,400 --> 00:04:10,000
Speaker 1: floor with dan Quinn's defense, and the Cowboys offense, conversely,

68
00:04:10,120 --> 00:04:13,480
Speaker 1: had no way to match what was going on on

69
00:04:13,520 --> 00:04:14,560
Speaker 1: the other side of the field.

70
00:04:14,720 --> 00:04:16,440
Speaker 2: I get that there will be a lot of daktok,

71
00:04:16,600 --> 00:04:18,200
Speaker 2: and there should be, and we'll get to that too,

72
00:04:18,320 --> 00:04:21,920
Speaker 2: but it wouldn't have mattered when you score six offensive

73
00:04:22,080 --> 00:04:25,520
Speaker 2: touchdowns in your first seven drives, when you say we're

74
00:04:25,560 --> 00:04:29,080
Speaker 2: not kicking the ball off, we're not deferring to the

75
00:04:29,120 --> 00:04:29,679
Speaker 2: second half.

76
00:04:29,800 --> 00:04:31,040
Speaker 6: We're taking the ball.

77
00:04:31,320 --> 00:04:33,440
Speaker 2: And even when we can't run the ball the first

78
00:04:33,440 --> 00:04:35,960
Speaker 2: couple plays of the game, we're gonna keep running the

79
00:04:35,960 --> 00:04:38,320
Speaker 2: ball until it works. And we're gonna eat up seven

80
00:04:38,400 --> 00:04:41,640
Speaker 2: and a half minutes of clock and score a touchdown

81
00:04:41,680 --> 00:04:43,599
Speaker 2: on that very first guy, and we're gonna keep piling

82
00:04:43,680 --> 00:04:45,520
Speaker 2: it up. And then when we come out of halftime,

83
00:04:45,520 --> 00:04:47,560
Speaker 2: when you think you have a chance because you just

84
00:04:47,600 --> 00:04:50,000
Speaker 2: scored a touchdown, make it a little closer at halftime.

85
00:04:50,240 --> 00:04:52,960
Speaker 2: That to me was the moment of the game. They

86
00:04:53,080 --> 00:04:56,400
Speaker 2: ran right through them coming out of halftime. Then Stefan

87
00:04:56,440 --> 00:04:58,880
Speaker 2: Gilmour tries to cut her out and ends up giving

88
00:04:58,960 --> 00:05:01,279
Speaker 2: up a big play. And it was just a Dallas

89
00:05:01,279 --> 00:05:03,440
Speaker 2: defense that all day was trying to do too much.

90
00:05:03,600 --> 00:05:06,160
Speaker 2: But also they were soft, like they were soft and

91
00:05:06,200 --> 00:05:08,919
Speaker 2: they were small. No team plays more dime defense in

92
00:05:08,960 --> 00:05:12,279
Speaker 2: terms of white personnel when other teams have two tight

93
00:05:12,360 --> 00:05:13,600
Speaker 2: ends on the field than Dallas.

94
00:05:13,640 --> 00:05:15,040
Speaker 6: And they did it all day today.

95
00:05:15,080 --> 00:05:17,919
Speaker 2: And when it mattered, Green Bay just lined up and

96
00:05:17,960 --> 00:05:20,560
Speaker 2: they said, Michael Parsons, you're not gonna get near Jordan

97
00:05:20,640 --> 00:05:23,040
Speaker 2: Love and you're not gonna get near Aaron Jones. In

98
00:05:23,080 --> 00:05:26,200
Speaker 2: the second half, they made this Cowboys team look soft

99
00:05:26,320 --> 00:05:29,200
Speaker 2: as hell, and they put up a forty burger before

100
00:05:29,240 --> 00:05:30,440
Speaker 2: the fourth quarter started.

101
00:05:30,480 --> 00:05:33,560
Speaker 3: I can't believe not a single sack for the Dallas defense.

102
00:05:33,600 --> 00:05:35,760
Speaker 3: I think a big narrative was like ken Micah Parsons

103
00:05:35,839 --> 00:05:38,960
Speaker 3: make life incredibly tough for Jordan Love. I mean I

104
00:05:39,000 --> 00:05:41,560
Speaker 3: just saw wide open wide receivers over and over. I

105
00:05:41,560 --> 00:05:44,200
Speaker 3: mean Romeo Dobs one hundred yards before halftime.

106
00:05:44,279 --> 00:05:46,160
Speaker 6: Where was Parsons? He had like one pressure in the

107
00:05:46,200 --> 00:05:46,560
Speaker 6: whole game.

108
00:05:46,600 --> 00:05:48,839
Speaker 3: I mean also he got dinged up later on, But

109
00:05:48,880 --> 00:05:52,960
Speaker 3: like what we came to know and like respect about

110
00:05:53,040 --> 00:05:56,800
Speaker 3: Dallas's defense completely vanished today and what we thought Jordan

111
00:05:56,880 --> 00:05:59,240
Speaker 3: Love could be he tripled and quadrupled it today.

112
00:05:59,279 --> 00:06:01,640
Speaker 7: I mean it's like, where how far can they go?

113
00:06:01,800 --> 00:06:02,240
Speaker 1: I don't know.

114
00:06:02,279 --> 00:06:04,480
Speaker 7: If they play like this, they can take anyone on.

115
00:06:04,839 --> 00:06:07,200
Speaker 3: And even Aaron Jones, who had I think thirty yards

116
00:06:07,200 --> 00:06:08,840
Speaker 3: in the first half, but you could tell he was

117
00:06:08,920 --> 00:06:11,120
Speaker 3: running well, and that has been a weakness of this

118
00:06:11,200 --> 00:06:13,919
Speaker 3: Dallas defense. Right able to just run right up the

119
00:06:13,920 --> 00:06:17,080
Speaker 3: gut and I thought he'd down the stretch was such

120
00:06:17,080 --> 00:06:21,120
Speaker 3: a huge difference maker for the Packers and really humbled Dallas.

121
00:06:21,160 --> 00:06:23,320
Speaker 3: I mean I thought they were They come out of

122
00:06:23,360 --> 00:06:26,760
Speaker 3: this with like as you said, Dan Tremor's earthquakes problems,

123
00:06:26,960 --> 00:06:30,000
Speaker 3: huge questions. And we haven't even talked about Dak Prescott.

124
00:06:30,040 --> 00:06:32,560
Speaker 3: But two picks in the first half and the whole

125
00:06:32,560 --> 00:06:35,000
Speaker 3: thing fell apart. We're up to to Dak Prescott teases

126
00:06:35,000 --> 00:06:35,680
Speaker 3: we're getting there.

127
00:06:36,279 --> 00:06:37,600
Speaker 6: Yeah, the Packers there lost.

128
00:06:37,680 --> 00:06:40,640
Speaker 1: Aaron Jones goes over one hundred yards with three touchdowns

129
00:06:41,320 --> 00:06:45,360
Speaker 1: and Jordan Love threw for three touchdowns with I think

130
00:06:45,400 --> 00:06:48,680
Speaker 1: a perfect passer rating. You had the Darnell Savage picked

131
00:06:48,720 --> 00:06:50,560
Speaker 1: six for sixty four yards. This was a game that

132
00:06:50,640 --> 00:06:55,039
Speaker 1: was twenty seven nothing going into halftime before the Cowboys

133
00:06:55,080 --> 00:06:56,480
Speaker 1: got on the board on the last play of the

134
00:06:56,520 --> 00:06:59,600
Speaker 1: second quarter. It ballooned up to what was it at

135
00:06:59,600 --> 00:07:01,320
Speaker 1: a ties point in the third quarter. I mean this

136
00:07:01,320 --> 00:07:03,200
Speaker 1: this game was an absolute.

137
00:07:02,920 --> 00:07:06,040
Speaker 2: Forty eight to sixteen at the beginning of the fourth quarter.

138
00:07:06,080 --> 00:07:09,239
Speaker 2: There you go, when Jordan Love hit that little side pocket,

139
00:07:09,360 --> 00:07:12,840
Speaker 2: Orde shot just absolutely ridiculous into a into a pinhole.

140
00:07:12,880 --> 00:07:14,840
Speaker 1: I'll tell you what a big, a big picture narrative

141
00:07:14,920 --> 00:07:17,520
Speaker 1: this weekend is that elite defenses quote unquote are a

142
00:07:17,560 --> 00:07:20,720
Speaker 1: myth because between what we saw from the Browns on

143
00:07:20,800 --> 00:07:23,960
Speaker 1: Saturday and the Cowboys on Sunday, all the talk about

144
00:07:24,040 --> 00:07:26,560
Speaker 1: these defenses to get shredded the way they did, and

145
00:07:26,600 --> 00:07:32,400
Speaker 1: with Jordan Love, he is my goodness, I mean, what

146
00:07:32,480 --> 00:07:34,760
Speaker 1: he has been able to do in these last two

147
00:07:34,800 --> 00:07:38,280
Speaker 1: and a half months now, it really does evoke memories

148
00:07:38,360 --> 00:07:41,000
Speaker 1: of the rise of Rogers and if you're old enough,

149
00:07:41,000 --> 00:07:44,080
Speaker 1: the rise of barv And I thought it was so

150
00:07:44,160 --> 00:07:46,800
Speaker 1: interesting that on that first drive that you were referenced Greg,

151
00:07:46,840 --> 00:07:49,120
Speaker 1: which set the tone obviously for the whole afternoon, taking

152
00:07:49,200 --> 00:07:51,640
Speaker 1: up half the first quarter and scoring a touchdown after

153
00:07:51,720 --> 00:07:54,440
Speaker 1: electing to take the ball when you win the coin toss,

154
00:07:54,920 --> 00:07:57,360
Speaker 1: you knew just by his body language, well he was

155
00:07:57,400 --> 00:08:00,240
Speaker 1: moving in the pocket, that he was going to be

156
00:08:00,360 --> 00:08:02,400
Speaker 1: a nightmare. And I talked about that on Thursday that

157
00:08:02,600 --> 00:08:04,680
Speaker 1: even though I picked the Cowboys, we all picked the Cowboys.

158
00:08:06,000 --> 00:08:08,080
Speaker 1: This just felt like such a bad matchup for the

159
00:08:08,120 --> 00:08:11,239
Speaker 1: Cowboys because the Packers seemed so lighter on their feet,

160
00:08:11,680 --> 00:08:14,800
Speaker 1: and conversely, I thought the Cowboys just seemed so tight

161
00:08:14,880 --> 00:08:17,559
Speaker 1: as a drum. And I thought that what you heard

162
00:08:17,600 --> 00:08:19,760
Speaker 1: from the Fox team of Burkhart and Olsen, and they

163
00:08:19,840 --> 00:08:22,640
Speaker 1: keep on repeating this and pushing this narrative like what's

164
00:08:22,640 --> 00:08:25,920
Speaker 1: wrong with Dak and Ceedee Lamb today? There's something weird

165
00:08:26,040 --> 00:08:29,240
Speaker 1: going on. What was weird was the Dallas Cowboys getting

166
00:08:29,240 --> 00:08:32,560
Speaker 1: swallowed up by their own myth once again and playing

167
00:08:32,600 --> 00:08:35,239
Speaker 1: tight as a drum and the Packers doing the opposite.

168
00:08:35,640 --> 00:08:38,000
Speaker 1: It was crazy, right.

169
00:08:37,920 --> 00:08:41,839
Speaker 2: Love on that first throw to Dobbs, which I think

170
00:08:41,960 --> 00:08:45,480
Speaker 2: was for about twenty two yards where it was second

171
00:08:45,520 --> 00:08:47,840
Speaker 2: and thirteen on that first drive, and he's back pedaling

172
00:08:47,960 --> 00:08:50,880
Speaker 2: and he's about to get crunched by Odigga diggies do

173
00:08:50,960 --> 00:08:53,320
Speaker 2: it and he just makes it look so easy. And

174
00:08:53,360 --> 00:08:55,800
Speaker 2: there were about six or seven throws like that in

175
00:08:55,880 --> 00:08:58,880
Speaker 2: this game. That just reminded me. When you go through

176
00:08:58,880 --> 00:09:02,560
Speaker 2: this season and you think of the best performances by

177
00:09:02,559 --> 00:09:06,880
Speaker 2: a quarterback in any game all season, Jordan Love is

178
00:09:07,360 --> 00:09:09,320
Speaker 2: on the list for a lot of them. The game

179
00:09:09,360 --> 00:09:12,719
Speaker 2: he had in primetime against Kansas City a couple weeks ago,

180
00:09:12,760 --> 00:09:14,400
Speaker 2: and maybe maybe not as many people watched it, but

181
00:09:14,400 --> 00:09:17,280
Speaker 2: it was Sunday night again against Minnesota, the win that

182
00:09:17,320 --> 00:09:20,320
Speaker 2: they had against the Lions. He is one of the

183
00:09:20,320 --> 00:09:22,560
Speaker 2: best quarterbacks in the league. And I don't think enough

184
00:09:22,559 --> 00:09:27,360
Speaker 2: people have watched them enough to realize that, but it's

185
00:09:27,440 --> 00:09:30,480
Speaker 2: just true. There isn't a quarterback playing better in terms

186
00:09:30,520 --> 00:09:32,560
Speaker 2: of decision making, and Lafleur is setting him up. And

187
00:09:32,840 --> 00:09:34,840
Speaker 2: Dallas tried to go against type, and they talked about

188
00:09:34,840 --> 00:09:36,360
Speaker 2: this on the broadcast to it and play a lot

189
00:09:36,360 --> 00:09:39,040
Speaker 2: more zone than what they like to do with Man,

190
00:09:39,080 --> 00:09:42,640
Speaker 2: but it didn't make a difference. Like Dobbs was talented

191
00:09:42,720 --> 00:09:45,240
Speaker 2: enough to go six for one point fifty one in one,

192
00:09:45,280 --> 00:09:47,600
Speaker 2: but you always had a feeling like Love would find

193
00:09:47,600 --> 00:09:49,480
Speaker 2: someone else if he needed to. This was a day

194
00:09:49,480 --> 00:09:51,560
Speaker 2: like Jayden Reid didn't even have a catch this game.

195
00:09:51,559 --> 00:09:53,880
Speaker 2: They have so many young guys coming out of their

196
00:09:54,720 --> 00:09:58,280
Speaker 2: wazoo here, but he always is making good decisions on

197
00:09:58,360 --> 00:10:01,000
Speaker 2: top of like being just so physically here it only

198
00:10:01,000 --> 00:10:02,000
Speaker 2: had five incompletions.

199
00:10:02,040 --> 00:10:04,960
Speaker 3: There was an incredible second half catched by Romeo Dobbs

200
00:10:05,000 --> 00:10:08,640
Speaker 3: on a precise broken play throw by Jordan Love.

201
00:10:08,679 --> 00:10:11,079
Speaker 7: It's like he just was dialed in from wire to wire.

202
00:10:11,280 --> 00:10:14,480
Speaker 1: Here is Lafleur, the aforementioned Laflow who had a wonderful

203
00:10:14,480 --> 00:10:19,160
Speaker 1: game himself on Jordan Love. Oh, Jordan Love. Wow. That

204
00:10:19,360 --> 00:10:22,160
Speaker 1: was That's about all I can say. Bete is wow.

205
00:10:23,320 --> 00:10:26,679
Speaker 1: And Mark he has he's got another quarterback and yep,

206
00:10:26,840 --> 00:10:29,400
Speaker 1: and dating back to nineteen ninety two to present and

207
00:10:29,480 --> 00:10:32,720
Speaker 1: now for the in the beyond. Now the Packers feel

208
00:10:32,840 --> 00:10:36,000
Speaker 1: set up with a potential, not just a star. This

209
00:10:36,000 --> 00:10:38,800
Speaker 1: guy's playing like a superstar. And what makes the Packers

210
00:10:38,920 --> 00:10:41,880
Speaker 1: fascinating is that he's not alone. It's just not him.

211
00:10:42,920 --> 00:10:44,880
Speaker 1: This is a team that's coming together. Even the defense

212
00:10:44,920 --> 00:10:47,280
Speaker 1: showed up in this game. Never mind the lipstick on

213
00:10:47,320 --> 00:10:49,520
Speaker 1: the pig in the fourth quarterback Dallas's offense.

214
00:10:49,280 --> 00:10:52,880
Speaker 3: Right like the much maligned Joe Berry defense, which caused

215
00:10:53,520 --> 00:10:56,679
Speaker 3: multiple turnovers in the first half, and the final score

216
00:10:56,720 --> 00:10:58,520
Speaker 3: is not indicative. I thought they did a nice job

217
00:10:58,559 --> 00:11:00,960
Speaker 3: on Ceedie Lamb. He was double. You saw them trippled

218
00:11:00,960 --> 00:11:02,880
Speaker 3: at certain points and like that. I always thought that

219
00:11:02,920 --> 00:11:04,760
Speaker 3: the key for Dallas to get off to a fast

220
00:11:04,800 --> 00:11:08,080
Speaker 3: start was have Ceedee Lamb dominate this game, and he

221
00:11:08,160 --> 00:11:10,800
Speaker 3: really was not a factor until garbage time and a

222
00:11:10,800 --> 00:11:13,560
Speaker 3: bunch of junk happen late like these the thirty two

223
00:11:13,600 --> 00:11:16,600
Speaker 3: points stalls put up. Most of it happened in a zero,

224
00:11:16,679 --> 00:11:19,840
Speaker 3: non factor like kind of late flurry. Like the Joe

225
00:11:19,840 --> 00:11:23,000
Speaker 3: Berry defense which looked good against Minnesota, it looked good

226
00:11:23,000 --> 00:11:25,839
Speaker 3: against Chicago. I know those aren't premier offenses, but it did.

227
00:11:25,840 --> 00:11:28,959
Speaker 3: It did its job today and made Dak Prescott in

228
00:11:29,000 --> 00:11:30,040
Speaker 3: the in the crew very unset.

229
00:11:30,120 --> 00:11:33,000
Speaker 1: And ask a question, how much do you how And

230
00:11:33,040 --> 00:11:34,720
Speaker 1: this is not to take away from Barry or what

231
00:11:34,840 --> 00:11:37,679
Speaker 1: Green Bay did today, but how much can you say

232
00:11:37,840 --> 00:11:40,440
Speaker 1: is the Packers in their scheme and their players, and

233
00:11:40,520 --> 00:11:43,640
Speaker 1: how much, honestly, Greg, do you have to like be

234
00:11:43,760 --> 00:11:46,960
Speaker 1: honest and say the Cowboys choked in this game. Yes,

235
00:11:47,040 --> 00:11:49,920
Speaker 1: they gagged, and they played at a far lesser level

236
00:11:49,960 --> 00:11:53,360
Speaker 1: than we saw for the entire season, and you get

237
00:11:53,600 --> 00:11:55,320
Speaker 1: like that's gonna be obviously be blown up in what

238
00:11:55,360 --> 00:11:58,400
Speaker 1: everyone's talking about a Monday morning and beyond. But sometimes

239
00:11:58,400 --> 00:12:00,400
Speaker 1: a narrative is a narrative because it's true. And the

240
00:12:00,440 --> 00:12:02,359
Speaker 1: Cowboys seemed to choke in January.

241
00:12:02,480 --> 00:12:05,240
Speaker 2: Yes, they after falling down early and then the first

242
00:12:05,360 --> 00:12:08,360
Speaker 2: Dak interception, which that Dak said after the game he

243
00:12:08,760 --> 00:12:11,200
Speaker 2: played poorly, that he played a terribly and I sucked,

244
00:12:11,280 --> 00:12:13,480
Speaker 2: which is wild because he threw for four hundred yards

245
00:12:13,480 --> 00:12:15,040
Speaker 2: in the end in the seven first times, but he

246
00:12:15,120 --> 00:12:16,480
Speaker 2: knew that the important part of the game was the

247
00:12:16,480 --> 00:12:18,600
Speaker 2: first half. That was kind of a lazy route by

248
00:12:18,600 --> 00:12:21,360
Speaker 2: Cooks and Alexander makes a nice break on the ball,

249
00:12:21,520 --> 00:12:25,120
Speaker 2: but at that point the Cowboys had already punted, and

250
00:12:25,160 --> 00:12:27,080
Speaker 2: then they punt the following drive to they set up

251
00:12:27,120 --> 00:12:30,080
Speaker 2: the Packers for a short score there like one play

252
00:12:30,160 --> 00:12:32,480
Speaker 2: later or a couple of plays later, Aaron Jones just

253
00:12:32,559 --> 00:12:36,560
Speaker 2: running through their defense for another score. So everyone choked.

254
00:12:36,600 --> 00:12:40,160
Speaker 2: But Ceedee Lambs dropping passes Dak slant to CD, which

255
00:12:40,200 --> 00:12:45,000
Speaker 2: is usually so money. They're they're off, and my guy

256
00:12:45,120 --> 00:12:49,080
Speaker 2: Jay R Alexander, who you talked about on the Dreamatorium

257
00:12:49,200 --> 00:12:51,720
Speaker 2: this week, even though he got hurt halfway through the game,

258
00:12:52,200 --> 00:12:54,520
Speaker 2: he comes up with the big interception, not the pick six,

259
00:12:54,559 --> 00:12:57,160
Speaker 2: but the early interception, and he was out there. I

260
00:12:57,200 --> 00:12:58,880
Speaker 2: know they didn't send him out for the coin toss.

261
00:12:58,880 --> 00:13:00,680
Speaker 2: Oh they should have, but he was out there, he

262
00:13:00,760 --> 00:13:01,160
Speaker 2: was suiting.

263
00:13:01,320 --> 00:13:04,960
Speaker 1: Well, they're not in Charlotte injuries. Is a pup ponder.

264
00:13:05,840 --> 00:13:09,199
Speaker 1: It was little for it was lit honestly like it

265
00:13:09,280 --> 00:13:09,760
Speaker 1: was no better.

266
00:13:09,800 --> 00:13:13,079
Speaker 8: Feeling like there's a few quarterbacks who are thrown me

267
00:13:13,160 --> 00:13:15,880
Speaker 8: multiple picks in my career and Jack is now one

268
00:13:15,920 --> 00:13:16,200
Speaker 8: of them.

269
00:13:16,200 --> 00:13:18,440
Speaker 6: So he's along with my top qbs.

270
00:13:19,080 --> 00:13:22,040
Speaker 1: I feel like JayR, Alexander and my eldest son Jack

271
00:13:22,040 --> 00:13:25,120
Speaker 1: would be like good buddies if they hung out. So yeah,

272
00:13:25,160 --> 00:13:27,840
Speaker 1: Dak is now on Jaire's list, and Dak is going

273
00:13:27,880 --> 00:13:29,800
Speaker 1: to This is going to be one of those losses

274
00:13:29,840 --> 00:13:33,680
Speaker 1: where it will continue to stick to the ribs of

275
00:13:33,720 --> 00:13:36,760
Speaker 1: everyone associated with the Dallas Cowboys. And you wonder if

276
00:13:36,800 --> 00:13:40,040
Speaker 1: Mike McCarthy, the head coach, as an example, will even

277
00:13:40,080 --> 00:13:42,920
Speaker 1: have a job after this. You wonder if Dan Quinn,

278
00:13:42,960 --> 00:13:44,400
Speaker 1: who seemed to be a shoe in to get a

279
00:13:44,520 --> 00:13:47,959
Speaker 1: job elsewhere the DC the highest paid DC in the league.

280
00:13:48,240 --> 00:13:50,800
Speaker 1: After giving up a near fifty burger in this spot,

281
00:13:50,840 --> 00:13:54,160
Speaker 1: does that cause teams like say the Seahawks to walk away?

282
00:13:54,160 --> 00:13:58,800
Speaker 1: Here's Jarah who you know, no shortage? And I tweeted this,

283
00:13:58,840 --> 00:14:01,360
Speaker 1: I would pay seven ninety nine a month if you

284
00:14:01,400 --> 00:14:05,880
Speaker 1: can give me a Jarah box, Like it's just a shot,

285
00:14:05,920 --> 00:14:09,120
Speaker 1: one shot on Jerah's luxury suite for the entirety of

286
00:14:09,120 --> 00:14:09,600
Speaker 1: a playoff.

287
00:14:09,640 --> 00:14:10,439
Speaker 6: Hit that on Peacock.

288
00:14:10,520 --> 00:14:13,439
Speaker 1: Put it on Peacock. Absolutely worth it. And make sure

289
00:14:13,480 --> 00:14:15,679
Speaker 1: if you're gonna put it on cocka the picture is

290
00:14:15,720 --> 00:14:19,840
Speaker 1: clear the whole time. Just just something unsolicited advice. Here

291
00:14:19,920 --> 00:14:23,760
Speaker 1: is Jerry immediately after the game talking to the media

292
00:14:23,800 --> 00:14:27,400
Speaker 1: about what's next and how this was a loss almost

293
00:14:27,440 --> 00:14:29,880
Speaker 1: like no other for him. It seems like the.

294
00:14:31,720 --> 00:14:38,400
Speaker 9: Most painful because we all had such great expectation and

295
00:14:38,480 --> 00:14:41,880
Speaker 9: we had hope for this team, and I thought that

296
00:14:41,960 --> 00:14:44,640
Speaker 9: we were aligned in a great shape, in a great shape,

297
00:14:46,240 --> 00:14:48,360
Speaker 9: but it didn't happen for us. And it's just fresh

298
00:14:48,400 --> 00:14:50,480
Speaker 9: show on me right now as it is or anybody else.

299
00:14:50,480 --> 00:14:54,560
Speaker 9: But I don't I won't to get into any of

300
00:14:54,600 --> 00:14:57,160
Speaker 9: the addressing of any aspects.

301
00:14:56,760 --> 00:14:57,680
Speaker 1: Of any part of it.

302
00:14:59,240 --> 00:15:03,480
Speaker 9: From the coaching to the players once around the corner,

303
00:15:05,280 --> 00:15:08,080
Speaker 9: but a personal basis, how I'm full for dam so.

304
00:15:09,360 --> 00:15:11,480
Speaker 7: I mean, it's the Dallas Cowboys.

305
00:15:11,520 --> 00:15:17,000
Speaker 3: They're an experience exclusive to themselves in all of American sports,

306
00:15:17,000 --> 00:15:20,320
Speaker 3: and it feels like it's an annual meeting with Jerry

307
00:15:20,400 --> 00:15:24,120
Speaker 3: Jones discussing the disappointment that ends it all in January.

308
00:15:24,200 --> 00:15:26,480
Speaker 3: It's three years in a row, and as you know,

309
00:15:27,040 --> 00:15:32,720
Speaker 3: as problematic as the past two exits for Dallas were disorganized, discombobulated,

310
00:15:32,920 --> 00:15:36,840
Speaker 3: final minute defeats under the watch of Mike McCarthy, I mean,

311
00:15:36,840 --> 00:15:39,440
Speaker 3: this is a bigger disaster because I you know, how

312
00:15:39,440 --> 00:15:41,680
Speaker 3: many times will we be fooled? I was even saying

313
00:15:41,720 --> 00:15:44,360
Speaker 3: a couple of days ago, this Cowboys team feels different

314
00:15:44,360 --> 00:15:46,920
Speaker 3: to me, and the ending is completely not different.

315
00:15:46,960 --> 00:15:47,480
Speaker 1: It's the same.

316
00:15:47,560 --> 00:15:50,320
Speaker 3: And it's like because it's the Cowboys, because it's Dak Prescott,

317
00:15:50,400 --> 00:15:53,800
Speaker 3: because it's Jerry Jones. I think that Mike McCarthy obviously

318
00:15:54,640 --> 00:15:57,200
Speaker 3: is on a hotter seat than you could ever have imagined.

319
00:15:57,200 --> 00:15:59,600
Speaker 2: There's no chance of coming no, I think what you

320
00:15:59,680 --> 00:16:01,400
Speaker 2: can do about it, because he's like a good coach

321
00:16:01,440 --> 00:16:04,560
Speaker 2: and deserves respect. But the way they talked about all

322
00:16:04,680 --> 00:16:07,320
Speaker 2: year that his future is going to be determined based

323
00:16:07,320 --> 00:16:09,360
Speaker 2: on how this year finished.

324
00:16:09,640 --> 00:16:10,800
Speaker 1: This said it, this knows.

325
00:16:10,640 --> 00:16:13,040
Speaker 3: All that mattered right this game, And I like, I,

326
00:16:13,120 --> 00:16:15,960
Speaker 3: you know, I brought it up as a hypothetical on

327
00:16:16,080 --> 00:16:18,560
Speaker 3: Thursday Show that you know, you have someone like Bill

328
00:16:18,560 --> 00:16:21,160
Speaker 3: Belichick sitting out there, and I just wonder if you're

329
00:16:21,240 --> 00:16:23,640
Speaker 3: Jerry Jones, who already has a wandering eye in the

330
00:16:23,640 --> 00:16:26,680
Speaker 3: pass for someone like Sean Payton, does everything turn and

331
00:16:26,880 --> 00:16:29,320
Speaker 3: change in a way where someone like Belichick winds up

332
00:16:29,320 --> 00:16:29,680
Speaker 3: with Els.

333
00:16:29,760 --> 00:16:32,440
Speaker 7: We'll see, But Mike McCarthy's future couldn't be shaking.

334
00:16:32,560 --> 00:16:37,920
Speaker 1: Jerry Jones is turning eighty two this year and this

335
00:16:38,080 --> 00:16:40,440
Speaker 1: he just said it like this is a loss that

336
00:16:41,040 --> 00:16:43,880
Speaker 1: really hurts. And they were certain this team was different.

337
00:16:43,880 --> 00:16:47,200
Speaker 1: We were we visited this team back in July. You

338
00:16:47,240 --> 00:16:50,440
Speaker 1: could just see the optimism just pouring out from every

339
00:16:50,520 --> 00:16:53,120
Speaker 1: corner of the facility there. So for this to have

340
00:16:53,160 --> 00:16:56,760
Speaker 1: the same ending after the third straight twelve win season, yeah,

341
00:16:56,800 --> 00:16:58,200
Speaker 1: I don't know if Greg, I don't know if it's

342
00:16:58,200 --> 00:17:01,480
Speaker 1: gonna be Bill and I don't know, But I also

343
00:17:01,520 --> 00:17:03,920
Speaker 1: think Jerry Jones at this point he might come to

344
00:17:03,960 --> 00:17:05,800
Speaker 1: a place where, yeah, not only do I have to

345
00:17:05,800 --> 00:17:07,439
Speaker 1: get this guy out of here, I need to make

346
00:17:07,480 --> 00:17:11,280
Speaker 1: a big splash because I'm running out of time quite frankly.

347
00:17:11,119 --> 00:17:12,840
Speaker 6: Right, he said he was stunned.

348
00:17:13,400 --> 00:17:16,560
Speaker 2: I read Calvin watchword is one of the best Cowboys

349
00:17:16,600 --> 00:17:18,320
Speaker 2: reporters out there, and he said the people that have

350
00:17:18,359 --> 00:17:20,040
Speaker 2: covered this team at least for ten plus years didn't

351
00:17:20,080 --> 00:17:22,040
Speaker 2: see this coming, not at all. And I do think

352
00:17:22,080 --> 00:17:25,359
Speaker 2: that is there is something about them being Charlie Brown

353
00:17:25,359 --> 00:17:28,480
Speaker 2: and Lucy pulling the football away. That's like, I think

354
00:17:28,560 --> 00:17:30,760
Speaker 2: part of the reason they never see it coming is

355
00:17:30,800 --> 00:17:33,200
Speaker 2: because they think that it couldn't be coming.

356
00:17:33,280 --> 00:17:34,439
Speaker 6: It can always be coming.

357
00:17:34,840 --> 00:17:37,800
Speaker 2: Like they sort of get in their own little cycle

358
00:17:37,960 --> 00:17:40,760
Speaker 2: of like we're believing the hype and like, of course

359
00:17:40,800 --> 00:17:44,000
Speaker 2: you could get blown out by a good young team

360
00:17:44,040 --> 00:17:46,760
Speaker 2: that's coming if you're not on it. Like nothing that

361
00:17:46,840 --> 00:17:49,000
Speaker 2: happened about this season and how they set it up

362
00:17:49,200 --> 00:17:51,000
Speaker 2: is gonna make any difference when you get out there

363
00:17:51,000 --> 00:17:53,520
Speaker 2: today and when you fall down in the game. They

364
00:17:53,560 --> 00:17:55,359
Speaker 2: kind of just showed who they were, which is in

365
00:17:55,400 --> 00:17:56,960
Speaker 2: a spot I think it's tough. When you got the

366
00:17:56,960 --> 00:17:59,199
Speaker 2: home crowd there, you feel that that tension. They are

367
00:17:59,240 --> 00:18:01,600
Speaker 2: the first team in his Dan. It's so weird with

368
00:18:01,720 --> 00:18:05,760
Speaker 2: McCarthy to win twelve straight game, to win twelve games

369
00:18:05,800 --> 00:18:10,080
Speaker 2: in three straight years, but not make the conference championship

370
00:18:10,119 --> 00:18:14,359
Speaker 2: in that ground. So he's been incredibly uniquely successful. And

371
00:18:14,400 --> 00:18:17,280
Speaker 2: then for it to happen against the Packers, who you know,

372
00:18:17,320 --> 00:18:20,159
Speaker 2: beat him in the Descota game, beat him when in

373
00:18:20,280 --> 00:18:22,119
Speaker 2: Dax's rookie year when they were the one seed and

374
00:18:22,160 --> 00:18:25,280
Speaker 2: have now won ten of eleven games against the Cowboys,

375
00:18:25,280 --> 00:18:28,040
Speaker 2: makes it like doubly painful.

376
00:18:28,080 --> 00:18:29,080
Speaker 6: It's like, what do you do this?

377
00:18:29,080 --> 00:18:30,680
Speaker 2: This Packers team is going to be around for like

378
00:18:30,680 --> 00:18:32,040
Speaker 2: all these teams are going to be around for one.

379
00:18:32,000 --> 00:18:36,440
Speaker 1: And I know the the the highly educated membership of

380
00:18:36,480 --> 00:18:44,040
Speaker 1: the Football Gogna Zent, they is going to say this

381
00:18:44,080 --> 00:18:49,240
Speaker 1: is ridiculous. But I really do think and the ghosts

382
00:18:50,119 --> 00:18:52,200
Speaker 1: have become a thing around the Cowboys, and I think

383
00:18:52,200 --> 00:18:54,879
Speaker 1: it seeps in under the doors and in through the

384
00:18:54,920 --> 00:18:59,200
Speaker 1: windows and down the chimney at the Star and it's

385
00:18:59,240 --> 00:19:02,199
Speaker 1: become this added layer of pressure. Now like when is

386
00:19:02,359 --> 00:19:04,560
Speaker 1: when are things going to be different this year? And

387
00:19:04,600 --> 00:19:06,680
Speaker 1: I think the team takes it, takes it with him.

388
00:19:06,720 --> 00:19:10,800
Speaker 1: I think you really saw a team from the jump

389
00:19:11,080 --> 00:19:13,080
Speaker 1: pressing in this game, and when they had the wrong

390
00:19:13,119 --> 00:19:15,960
Speaker 1: opponent here, the team that's on the opposite end of

391
00:19:15,960 --> 00:19:18,640
Speaker 1: that spectrum, it was, it was a recipe for disaster.

392
00:19:18,720 --> 00:19:20,639
Speaker 1: Quite frankly, I'm mad at myself because I felt it

393
00:19:20,680 --> 00:19:23,159
Speaker 1: come up, but picked the Cowboys was too safe. But

394
00:19:23,240 --> 00:19:26,639
Speaker 1: I don't find this overly surprising in retrospect, Like the

395
00:19:26,680 --> 00:19:28,600
Speaker 1: Cowboys were set up for the fall and they took one.

396
00:19:28,960 --> 00:19:29,399
Speaker 6: I think.

397
00:19:30,920 --> 00:19:34,119
Speaker 3: That angst like starts with Jerry Jones because he speaks

398
00:19:34,160 --> 00:19:36,199
Speaker 3: about the team and the experience of losing in a

399
00:19:36,200 --> 00:19:39,080
Speaker 3: way that not other owners would would be as personally

400
00:19:39,680 --> 00:19:41,080
Speaker 3: like open about the thing.

401
00:19:41,160 --> 00:19:41,879
Speaker 1: I like that about Joe.

402
00:19:42,200 --> 00:19:43,600
Speaker 3: I like it too, But I mean I think that

403
00:19:43,600 --> 00:19:46,000
Speaker 3: that's where the weight begins. But I do think it's

404
00:19:46,040 --> 00:19:48,440
Speaker 3: a surprising loss in the sense that you know, I

405
00:19:48,680 --> 00:19:51,960
Speaker 3: got absolutely surprised home and away splits. Maybe maybe they don't,

406
00:19:51,960 --> 00:19:55,159
Speaker 3: they don't mean much, but like Dallas at home was

407
00:19:55,200 --> 00:19:57,919
Speaker 3: its most dominant version of itself. I mean, it's like

408
00:19:58,240 --> 00:20:00,680
Speaker 3: destroyed teams and so for this to have and it's

409
00:20:00,760 --> 00:20:03,840
Speaker 3: completely atypical to anything else that we saw happening in

410
00:20:03,960 --> 00:20:05,560
Speaker 3: Dallas to this Cowboys team, let.

411
00:20:05,480 --> 00:20:08,960
Speaker 1: Me rephrase it. It is surprising, but maybe we shouldn't

412
00:20:09,000 --> 00:20:12,119
Speaker 1: have been surprised, and like retrospect, like sure, maybe the

413
00:20:12,160 --> 00:20:13,280
Speaker 1: clues were there all along.

414
00:20:13,320 --> 00:20:15,240
Speaker 2: Well, the clue, the number one clue is they were

415
00:20:15,240 --> 00:20:17,119
Speaker 2: playing one of the best quarterbacks in the league who

416
00:20:17,200 --> 00:20:20,200
Speaker 2: was playing playing free and could create in a way

417
00:20:20,600 --> 00:20:26,119
Speaker 2: that Dak, who I'm always defending but hasn't in a

418
00:20:26,119 --> 00:20:28,080
Speaker 2: big spot. And I do feel like he held the

419
00:20:28,080 --> 00:20:30,399
Speaker 2: ball a little too long. He wasn't seeing the field tonight.

420
00:20:30,640 --> 00:20:32,119
Speaker 2: He's gripping the ball a little too tight in the

421
00:20:32,160 --> 00:20:35,520
Speaker 2: first half, and Love is out there making something out

422
00:20:35,560 --> 00:20:38,160
Speaker 2: of nothing in a way that Dak just just wasn't.

423
00:20:38,160 --> 00:20:40,800
Speaker 2: But man, I still go back to the defense. Is

424
00:20:40,800 --> 00:20:44,880
Speaker 2: supposed to be a defensive team. Zach Tom who's led

425
00:20:44,920 --> 00:20:46,720
Speaker 2: the league by the way, doesn't get a lot of

426
00:20:46,720 --> 00:20:50,040
Speaker 2: pub but according to extent stats in pressure percentage in

427
00:20:50,080 --> 00:20:52,360
Speaker 2: terms of preventing pressure as a right tackle this year,

428
00:20:52,520 --> 00:20:54,800
Speaker 2: they're really well coached. A young offensive line for the

429
00:20:54,840 --> 00:20:57,040
Speaker 2: most part, who played great, didn't give up a single

430
00:20:57,040 --> 00:21:00,600
Speaker 2: pressure in nine pass us against Parsons. In Parsons I

431
00:21:00,600 --> 00:21:02,480
Speaker 2: think only had one or two total, and he got

432
00:21:02,480 --> 00:21:06,280
Speaker 2: it elsewhere. So it's just like everyone was in their

433
00:21:06,280 --> 00:21:08,760
Speaker 2: head and they lost. DA's got like a contract situation,

434
00:21:08,840 --> 00:21:11,480
Speaker 2: which is sneaky interesting. Not that I think he would

435
00:21:11,520 --> 00:21:13,400
Speaker 2: go anywhere, but this is kind of the season where

436
00:21:13,440 --> 00:21:15,919
Speaker 2: they have to give him a new contract because his

437
00:21:16,080 --> 00:21:19,920
Speaker 2: cap figure is so it is so big, so everything

438
00:21:20,000 --> 00:21:21,600
Speaker 2: I feel like it is going to be on the table,

439
00:21:21,640 --> 00:21:24,320
Speaker 2: and it's hard to sell Dan Quinn as the guy

440
00:21:24,359 --> 00:21:27,639
Speaker 2: who would succeed Mike McCarthy and Packers fans will be

441
00:21:27,680 --> 00:21:28,560
Speaker 2: talking about you all week.

442
00:21:28,560 --> 00:21:31,040
Speaker 6: Then oh yeah, you can.

443
00:21:30,640 --> 00:21:35,120
Speaker 1: Celebrate you are and oh the Cowboys weren't the only

444
00:21:36,880 --> 00:21:40,159
Speaker 1: people having a rough Sunday. The Westling Brothers or I

445
00:21:40,160 --> 00:21:44,360
Speaker 1: should say Nick continue their stumble and guess what, they

446
00:21:44,400 --> 00:21:48,840
Speaker 1: no longer occupy second place alone. Wow, But that way

447
00:21:48,640 --> 00:21:53,160
Speaker 1: they locked up the Cowboys and that did not work out.

448
00:21:53,720 --> 00:21:55,280
Speaker 2: Isn't this the guy used to get on me for,

449
00:21:55,520 --> 00:21:57,840
Speaker 2: you know, taking like four or five point favorites.

450
00:21:57,840 --> 00:21:59,560
Speaker 6: Here he would get on me for not being bold.

451
00:21:59,600 --> 00:22:01,800
Speaker 2: Here he is taking a set desperate time seven and

452
00:22:01,800 --> 00:22:03,240
Speaker 2: a half and then he'sake.

453
00:22:02,920 --> 00:22:06,040
Speaker 1: Seven yeah half. See nobody saw it coming. Nobody saw it.

454
00:22:06,040 --> 00:22:08,399
Speaker 1: They should have seen it coming. Because Jordan Love is

455
00:22:08,440 --> 00:22:11,640
Speaker 1: a rising superstar and we'll give him the last word

456
00:22:11,680 --> 00:22:14,280
Speaker 1: before we go to our next game. Because he got

457
00:22:14,359 --> 00:22:17,560
Speaker 1: he you know, it's it's noteworthy that Dak, a guy

458
00:22:17,560 --> 00:22:21,199
Speaker 1: that's gonna get MVP votes, was clearly outplayed in his

459
00:22:21,200 --> 00:22:24,000
Speaker 1: own building by the kid in his first full season

460
00:22:24,040 --> 00:22:27,040
Speaker 1: as a starter. This is how he I think it

461
00:22:27,080 --> 00:22:30,040
Speaker 1: was the final kneel down. Uh listen closely. You might

462
00:22:30,040 --> 00:22:33,400
Speaker 1: find it familiar Cowboys fans for them to come into

463
00:22:33,400 --> 00:22:35,359
Speaker 1: the house here in Dallas that no one's been able

464
00:22:35,359 --> 00:22:39,400
Speaker 1: to win in almost two years. I don't fu man,

465
00:22:39,400 --> 00:22:42,040
Speaker 1: that's pretty impressive. The Green Bay team, it wasn't quite

466
00:22:42,119 --> 00:22:45,040
Speaker 1: here we go, but it wasn't here we go. Packer.

467
00:22:45,119 --> 00:22:47,199
Speaker 1: You don't like that? Mark? What you don't like that?

468
00:22:47,600 --> 00:22:48,080
Speaker 7: Problem with that?

469
00:22:48,280 --> 00:22:49,880
Speaker 6: Okay, Packers, why do you think?

470
00:22:49,880 --> 00:22:50,680
Speaker 1: I know you kind of.

471
00:22:50,880 --> 00:22:52,879
Speaker 3: I was like, I think, if you're gonna mimic him, like,

472
00:22:52,960 --> 00:22:54,399
Speaker 3: let you go a little bit more.

473
00:22:55,160 --> 00:22:55,800
Speaker 6: I think he did.

474
00:22:55,840 --> 00:22:59,560
Speaker 2: He threaded the needle there where he had fun with it,

475
00:22:59,800 --> 00:23:02,359
Speaker 2: but he wasn't being like a dick to Dak personally.

476
00:23:02,480 --> 00:23:04,000
Speaker 2: So I think that's what he probably didn't want to

477
00:23:04,040 --> 00:23:05,520
Speaker 2: like mimic him.

478
00:23:05,680 --> 00:23:08,480
Speaker 1: Imagine Jamis Winston had that opportunity. I know it's hard

479
00:23:08,480 --> 00:23:10,240
Speaker 1: to imagine him a final kneel down to win a

480
00:23:10,280 --> 00:23:12,440
Speaker 1: playoff game. But imagine he would have put it would

481
00:23:12,440 --> 00:23:12,680
Speaker 1: have won.

482
00:23:12,640 --> 00:23:14,040
Speaker 7: An oscar for I think he would have pulled it

483
00:23:14,080 --> 00:23:14,880
Speaker 7: off in a different way.

484
00:23:15,040 --> 00:23:18,840
Speaker 2: Packers Niners. Is the Saturday game next year? Oh, that

485
00:23:19,040 --> 00:23:21,440
Speaker 2: is a delicious Division Round game. Is giving me a

486
00:23:22,359 --> 00:23:26,160
Speaker 2: flashbacks that Colin Kaepernick back in the day against the Niners.

487
00:23:26,200 --> 00:23:27,800
Speaker 6: I believe in this same round.

488
00:23:28,080 --> 00:23:32,159
Speaker 1: Oh, I don't need to tell you football fans, Divisional

489
00:23:32,600 --> 00:23:35,680
Speaker 1: Round weekend is the best of the year. But we're

490
00:23:35,720 --> 00:23:38,760
Speaker 1: not through Wildcard round yet. Uh, let's go to the

491
00:23:38,800 --> 00:23:40,960
Speaker 1: other game on Sunday. It was the only game that

492
00:23:41,119 --> 00:23:45,560
Speaker 1: was decided by less than a touchdown, this one just

493
00:23:45,640 --> 00:23:49,439
Speaker 1: one point. It was going off at Ford Field on

494
00:23:49,520 --> 00:23:52,200
Speaker 1: Sunday night. Here we go. Golf works out of the gun.

495
00:23:52,280 --> 00:23:54,600
Speaker 6: Second down to nine, two minutes to go.

496
00:23:54,800 --> 00:23:57,320
Speaker 1: There's golf back looking looking throws.

497
00:23:57,440 --> 00:24:00,800
Speaker 5: It is caught Harvid ross Day Crown first sucking to

498
00:24:00,920 --> 00:24:01,239
Speaker 5: do it?

499
00:24:01,720 --> 00:24:03,680
Speaker 1: Can it do it not? Can it do it?

500
00:24:03,960 --> 00:24:06,840
Speaker 6: Turn up delivers against this former team.

501
00:24:07,320 --> 00:24:09,440
Speaker 1: Now all they have to do is takeing me three

502
00:24:09,560 --> 00:24:14,359
Speaker 1: times hit. This game will be over. Ah for the

503
00:24:14,520 --> 00:24:18,000
Speaker 1: second time since nineteen fifty seven, for the first time

504
00:24:18,040 --> 00:24:20,000
Speaker 1: since January fifth, nineteen ninety two.

505
00:24:20,119 --> 00:24:22,880
Speaker 7: Yeah, the Detroit Lions are gonna win a playoff game.

506
00:24:23,119 --> 00:24:26,760
Speaker 1: Yeah, Dan Miller with the call you of course you

507
00:24:26,880 --> 00:24:30,959
Speaker 1: bring the bungos. Oh, it's playoff season for em rats

508
00:24:31,000 --> 00:24:35,520
Speaker 1: behind the glass two. Dan Miller, the voice of the Lions,

509
00:24:36,359 --> 00:24:39,760
Speaker 1: who's been through the bad times. Like the Lions fans,

510
00:24:39,800 --> 00:24:42,240
Speaker 1: he was there. He was on the mic for Owen sixteen.

511
00:24:43,160 --> 00:24:46,520
Speaker 1: And all those Lions fans that waited three decades to

512
00:24:46,520 --> 00:24:49,760
Speaker 1: see their team simply play a home game in the postseason,

513
00:24:50,480 --> 00:24:54,359
Speaker 1: Well they got rewarded with a twenty four to twenty

514
00:24:54,400 --> 00:24:58,600
Speaker 1: three win over a obviously extremely game Rams team that

515
00:24:59,600 --> 00:25:04,639
Speaker 1: came within a bailed stop on third down there of

516
00:25:04,760 --> 00:25:07,200
Speaker 1: getting the ball back with a chance to steal the game.

517
00:25:07,320 --> 00:25:10,520
Speaker 1: So there you go. That ends a nine game postseason

518
00:25:10,560 --> 00:25:13,119
Speaker 1: losing streak for the Lions, Mark Sessler. That was the

519
00:25:13,160 --> 00:25:16,919
Speaker 1: longest in NFL history, dates back to January ninety two.

520
00:25:17,000 --> 00:25:19,399
Speaker 1: And now they will get two home playoff games, so

521
00:25:19,440 --> 00:25:22,399
Speaker 1: the first time in franchise history, posting either Tampa or

522
00:25:22,440 --> 00:25:25,920
Speaker 1: Philly in the Divisional round next Sunday. What a joy

523
00:25:25,920 --> 00:25:27,879
Speaker 1: it was to watch that game in that building.

524
00:25:28,040 --> 00:25:31,959
Speaker 3: You had like Lions fans, and they cut to an

525
00:25:32,040 --> 00:25:34,280
Speaker 3: eighty nine year old Lions fan, a very famous guy

526
00:25:34,280 --> 00:25:36,679
Speaker 3: who's been going there for sixty years, that we're literally

527
00:25:36,720 --> 00:25:40,040
Speaker 3: just shedding tears. And I sometimes it's hard to gauge

528
00:25:40,440 --> 00:25:42,960
Speaker 3: the sound in the stadium depending on how the mics

529
00:25:42,960 --> 00:25:44,720
Speaker 3: are set up on some of these stations, and it's

530
00:25:44,800 --> 00:25:48,400
Speaker 3: like this place was on fire, and I found myself.

531
00:25:48,640 --> 00:25:51,320
Speaker 3: I think the Rams have had an incredible season and

532
00:25:51,520 --> 00:25:54,400
Speaker 3: there's a valiant side to them, but I found myself

533
00:25:54,400 --> 00:25:56,760
Speaker 3: just rooting for Detroit and the way that they came

534
00:25:56,800 --> 00:26:00,000
Speaker 3: out of this game with three straight seventy five years

535
00:26:00,280 --> 00:26:02,600
Speaker 3: touchdown marches. I mean, Greg, I think we were all

536
00:26:02,640 --> 00:26:04,960
Speaker 3: watching this the other league. My takeaway is that both

537
00:26:05,040 --> 00:26:09,240
Speaker 3: quarterbacks were absolutely pristine for so much of this and

538
00:26:09,280 --> 00:26:11,720
Speaker 3: at one point I thought Matthew Stafford literally had the

539
00:26:11,760 --> 00:26:13,760
Speaker 3: life knocked out of him, and then five minutes later

540
00:26:13,800 --> 00:26:16,439
Speaker 3: he's back in the game, but instead of one of

541
00:26:16,440 --> 00:26:19,080
Speaker 3: them completely collapsing, I love how this game wound up

542
00:26:19,119 --> 00:26:22,639
Speaker 3: because Jared Goff against his old coach, completely got the

543
00:26:22,720 --> 00:26:25,199
Speaker 3: job done. And the play that I'll remember is just

544
00:26:25,280 --> 00:26:27,800
Speaker 3: outside of the two minute warning. It's second to nine

545
00:26:27,920 --> 00:26:30,440
Speaker 3: at the Detroit thirty two. The Lions need to get

546
00:26:30,440 --> 00:26:32,800
Speaker 3: a first down to basically just solve the game away.

547
00:26:33,040 --> 00:26:36,200
Speaker 3: And Dan Campbell. The stamp that Dan Campbell has put

548
00:26:36,240 --> 00:26:38,359
Speaker 3: on this team from wire to wire is that he

549
00:26:39,320 --> 00:26:43,400
Speaker 3: goes absolutely nuts through the air. Eleven yard completion Aman

550
00:26:43,480 --> 00:26:45,159
Speaker 3: Ross Saint Brown. It's like they don't just try to

551
00:26:45,200 --> 00:26:47,840
Speaker 3: go conservative. They do what the Lions do. It paid

552
00:26:47,880 --> 00:26:50,280
Speaker 3: off and they executed the rams in the final minute.

553
00:26:50,320 --> 00:26:52,080
Speaker 1: That's how they won the game. Greg that was a

554
00:26:52,160 --> 00:26:54,560
Speaker 1: chance and a lot of teams run the ball, take

555
00:26:54,600 --> 00:26:56,480
Speaker 1: it to the two minute warning, punt it away and

556
00:26:56,480 --> 00:26:58,480
Speaker 1: then ask your defense to make the stop. But Campbell

557
00:26:58,560 --> 00:27:01,000
Speaker 1: is shown all throughout his tenure he puts the faith

558
00:27:01,000 --> 00:27:02,480
Speaker 1: in the guys that he trusts the most.

559
00:27:03,119 --> 00:27:07,320
Speaker 2: It was such a fitting ending for last year's team

560
00:27:07,880 --> 00:27:14,280
Speaker 2: of atl I mean, this was what we loved about

561
00:27:14,280 --> 00:27:16,960
Speaker 2: this team, and then they struggled a little bit and

562
00:27:17,000 --> 00:27:17,680
Speaker 2: then they had it.

563
00:27:17,680 --> 00:27:18,360
Speaker 6: It was right there.

564
00:27:18,400 --> 00:27:20,760
Speaker 2: You're right in those final minutes because number one, it

565
00:27:21,080 --> 00:27:24,600
Speaker 2: takes balls to throw the pass there, but number two,

566
00:27:24,880 --> 00:27:28,960
Speaker 2: it takes intelligence to do it on the second down.

567
00:27:29,040 --> 00:27:33,440
Speaker 2: Don't wait for the third down when they're possibly knowing

568
00:27:33,480 --> 00:27:35,960
Speaker 2: that you're gonna have a higher likelihood to pass in

569
00:27:36,000 --> 00:27:38,160
Speaker 2: that situation. And they can run some games up front,

570
00:27:38,240 --> 00:27:40,239
Speaker 2: or they can send the blitzer, whatever they're gonna do.

571
00:27:40,640 --> 00:27:43,440
Speaker 2: Trust a guy in Amano, Saint Brown, to run a

572
00:27:43,480 --> 00:27:44,920
Speaker 2: route that he said after the game, you know they've

573
00:27:44,920 --> 00:27:46,880
Speaker 2: been running this for years. This is kind of their

574
00:27:46,880 --> 00:27:49,359
Speaker 2: bread and butter plate. It's one on one like trust

575
00:27:49,480 --> 00:27:53,680
Speaker 2: Jared Goff. Even though you saw a couple little moments

576
00:27:53,680 --> 00:27:55,560
Speaker 2: in the second half where you wondered, like, is this

577
00:27:55,640 --> 00:27:58,879
Speaker 2: gonna go sideways? Ultimately they only scored three points on

578
00:27:58,920 --> 00:28:01,679
Speaker 2: three possessions in the second half before that, Like a

579
00:28:01,680 --> 00:28:03,640
Speaker 2: lot of Rams games this year, there were not many

580
00:28:03,640 --> 00:28:05,679
Speaker 2: possessions here. They tend to give up a lot of

581
00:28:05,680 --> 00:28:07,680
Speaker 2: long drives. They tend to have a lot of long drives,

582
00:28:07,680 --> 00:28:09,920
Speaker 2: and that's what it was like. So every drive meant

583
00:28:09,960 --> 00:28:12,439
Speaker 2: so much, and so you win it that way with

584
00:28:12,560 --> 00:28:15,840
Speaker 2: sparts and balls. But same thing on the On the

585
00:28:15,960 --> 00:28:20,679
Speaker 2: drive before third and four, Aiden Hutchinson, the dude that

586
00:28:20,720 --> 00:28:24,080
Speaker 2: to me rarely represents this turnaround in such a big way,

587
00:28:24,480 --> 00:28:27,680
Speaker 2: beats Rob Havenstein gets a holding call. It was the

588
00:28:27,760 --> 00:28:30,359
Speaker 2: right call. On third and four, the Rams are in

589
00:28:30,520 --> 00:28:33,840
Speaker 2: field goal range. We'll never know if Brett Maher would

590
00:28:33,880 --> 00:28:36,320
Speaker 2: have hit that kick, what would it have been. I

591
00:28:36,320 --> 00:28:39,320
Speaker 2: think it would have been about a fifty yard I know, Okay,

592
00:28:39,320 --> 00:28:39,800
Speaker 2: what was it?

593
00:28:39,960 --> 00:28:40,840
Speaker 1: No, I know he wouldn't have.

594
00:28:40,840 --> 00:28:43,960
Speaker 2: Been You know that he wouldn't have hit it. It would

595
00:28:43,960 --> 00:28:46,040
Speaker 2: have been a fifty one yarder. Or they could have

596
00:28:46,040 --> 00:28:47,960
Speaker 2: gone for it on fourth and four. And that's the

597
00:28:48,000 --> 00:28:52,640
Speaker 2: reason I think ultimately that Campbell said no, we're going

598
00:28:52,720 --> 00:28:54,960
Speaker 2: to accept the penalty, because I thought that that was

599
00:28:55,000 --> 00:28:58,440
Speaker 2: actually a very bold decision to push them back to

600
00:28:58,560 --> 00:29:01,640
Speaker 2: third and fourteen because I think he's thinking, either they can.

601
00:29:01,640 --> 00:29:03,840
Speaker 6: Kick the field goal or they go for fourth and fourth.

602
00:29:04,040 --> 00:29:06,400
Speaker 2: I'm gonna go ahead and trust my defense to go

603
00:29:06,520 --> 00:29:09,880
Speaker 2: make another play. And who wins again on the next

604
00:29:09,920 --> 00:29:13,240
Speaker 2: play the guy they took second overall, Aiden Hutchinson. And

605
00:29:13,280 --> 00:29:16,280
Speaker 2: I know Rams fans will be complaining about that miss

606
00:29:16,280 --> 00:29:18,479
Speaker 2: pass interference for a long time. And they did miss it.

607
00:29:18,480 --> 00:29:19,920
Speaker 2: It was a bad miss call. It was a type

608
00:29:19,960 --> 00:29:21,800
Speaker 2: of bad miss call though that happens right.

609
00:29:21,760 --> 00:29:24,200
Speaker 1: And aids fans will tell Rams West, but a missed

610
00:29:24,200 --> 00:29:24,600
Speaker 1: call in the.

611
00:29:24,520 --> 00:29:26,560
Speaker 2: Price, It was kind of like a subtle play by

612
00:29:26,560 --> 00:29:29,520
Speaker 2: Camsutt and I think where like, I'm not gonna go crazy.

613
00:29:29,560 --> 00:29:30,240
Speaker 6: They missed the call.

614
00:29:30,560 --> 00:29:32,760
Speaker 2: But part of the reason that happened is because Kaminski

615
00:29:33,160 --> 00:29:37,000
Speaker 2: and Aiden Hutchinson both won quickly and forced the difficult situation.

616
00:29:37,160 --> 00:29:39,920
Speaker 2: And so like, that's big time players season on the line,

617
00:29:39,920 --> 00:29:41,960
Speaker 2: stepping up in a big time moment, Aiden Hutchinson.

618
00:29:42,080 --> 00:29:44,760
Speaker 1: And you mentioned the sound inside Ford Field, and that

619
00:29:44,800 --> 00:29:46,600
Speaker 1: was the first playoff game in the history of that building,

620
00:29:46,720 --> 00:29:48,760
Speaker 1: which has not been around, you know, it's been around

621
00:29:48,800 --> 00:29:54,360
Speaker 1: for a minute now. La. They were down to one

622
00:29:54,400 --> 00:29:56,560
Speaker 1: time out in the second half of the fourth quarter,

623
00:29:57,320 --> 00:30:00,440
Speaker 1: and two of those time out they're Burningham in large

624
00:30:00,440 --> 00:30:02,760
Speaker 1: part because of the crowd noise, and they're just dealing

625
00:30:02,800 --> 00:30:07,120
Speaker 1: with the elements as they are and it's just like

626
00:30:07,160 --> 00:30:09,600
Speaker 1: you could actually and that's why one of the many

627
00:30:09,640 --> 00:30:12,600
Speaker 1: reasons why playoff football is amazing like that, I think

628
00:30:12,680 --> 00:30:15,920
Speaker 1: the fans in the atmosphere there absolutely played a role

629
00:30:16,400 --> 00:30:19,600
Speaker 1: in the lines advancing in the playoffs. And this is

630
00:30:19,640 --> 00:30:24,560
Speaker 1: a game that they are chanting Jared Goff's name an

631
00:30:24,600 --> 00:30:28,680
Speaker 1: hour before the game, and this is showering Matthew Stafford

632
00:30:28,680 --> 00:30:32,479
Speaker 1: the prodigal son with booze when he's on the field

633
00:30:32,960 --> 00:30:37,400
Speaker 1: and we have sound here from Dan Campbell on Jared Goff,

634
00:30:37,480 --> 00:30:41,080
Speaker 1: who is one of the most interesting kind of journeys

635
00:30:41,240 --> 00:30:44,040
Speaker 1: of any player of his generation. As he goes to

636
00:30:44,720 --> 00:30:47,240
Speaker 1: the next round of the playoffs after slaying the team

637
00:30:47,280 --> 00:30:51,040
Speaker 1: that dumped him as a salary dump to get a

638
00:30:51,080 --> 00:30:54,840
Speaker 1: trade done to get the Stafford to Los Angeles. Here

639
00:30:54,960 --> 00:30:57,400
Speaker 1: is Campbell on his quarterback.

640
00:30:58,360 --> 00:31:01,160
Speaker 4: Just really proud of him, you know, and what he

641
00:31:01,240 --> 00:31:04,760
Speaker 4: means to us and his play today, and I bring

642
00:31:04,800 --> 00:31:07,120
Speaker 4: it back again. He's one of the reasons that we

643
00:31:07,160 --> 00:31:09,640
Speaker 4: won this division and he's another reason why we just

644
00:31:09,680 --> 00:31:11,720
Speaker 4: won our first playoff game here in thirty years.

645
00:31:11,720 --> 00:31:17,120
Speaker 1: So what a stud I want more Campbell, give me

646
00:31:17,160 --> 00:31:21,680
Speaker 1: Campbell on the line's getting another home game. I know this.

647
00:31:22,240 --> 00:31:25,560
Speaker 4: We were fighting for the two seed and we get

648
00:31:25,600 --> 00:31:27,920
Speaker 4: to get another home game, and we got another home game,

649
00:31:28,240 --> 00:31:31,200
Speaker 4: So it's awesome and we had to earn that, and

650
00:31:31,240 --> 00:31:32,400
Speaker 4: we earned that with a win today.

651
00:31:32,880 --> 00:31:35,440
Speaker 1: They sure did. And by the way, all the drama

652
00:31:35,560 --> 00:31:38,960
Speaker 1: around that two point conversion that I wiped out against

653
00:31:38,960 --> 00:31:41,960
Speaker 1: the Cowboys, it's all gone because the Cowboys got their

654
00:31:42,000 --> 00:31:45,360
Speaker 1: ass booted out of the postseason. So the lines now

655
00:31:45,400 --> 00:31:48,120
Speaker 1: move up to the highest seed besides obviously the Niners,

656
00:31:48,120 --> 00:31:49,840
Speaker 1: which means they get this second home.

657
00:31:49,640 --> 00:31:52,200
Speaker 3: Game, and that feels that just feels just and it's

658
00:31:52,680 --> 00:31:55,320
Speaker 3: I think for all of us because that was a

659
00:31:55,520 --> 00:31:57,400
Speaker 3: the low moment and it's like, we don't want the

660
00:31:57,440 --> 00:32:00,160
Speaker 3: officials being the center of all this. I just it's

661
00:32:00,200 --> 00:32:03,680
Speaker 3: like the Jared Goff experience because Brad Holmes, who obviously

662
00:32:03,800 --> 00:32:06,320
Speaker 3: came from the belly of the Rams to become the

663
00:32:06,360 --> 00:32:09,720
Speaker 3: general manager of the Lions, like showed incredible faith in Goff,

664
00:32:10,120 --> 00:32:12,840
Speaker 3: like threw a lot of ups and downs here and

665
00:32:13,200 --> 00:32:15,320
Speaker 3: also is the architect of a team that is like

666
00:32:15,640 --> 00:32:18,640
Speaker 3: littered with future stars and young players. To see like

667
00:32:18,680 --> 00:32:20,880
Speaker 3: a guy like Sam Laporta do what he's done all

668
00:32:20,880 --> 00:32:23,640
Speaker 3: season the way he came back from injury to do tonight.

669
00:32:23,680 --> 00:32:25,640
Speaker 7: Goff opens fourteen for fifteen.

670
00:32:25,920 --> 00:32:28,560
Speaker 3: It's nearly pristine in the first half, and it almost

671
00:32:28,560 --> 00:32:30,960
Speaker 3: overshadows the fact that Matthew Stafford and we were watching

672
00:32:30,960 --> 00:32:33,280
Speaker 3: this the other like through three or four of the

673
00:32:33,280 --> 00:32:35,920
Speaker 3: most incredible passes you'll see, but Golf did too.

674
00:32:36,160 --> 00:32:37,680
Speaker 7: Gough made very few mistakes.

675
00:32:37,840 --> 00:32:41,320
Speaker 3: I go back to one incredible looping arching throw to

676
00:32:41,360 --> 00:32:43,960
Speaker 3: Amorran Saint Brown with the team up twenty one to seventeen.

677
00:32:44,040 --> 00:32:45,360
Speaker 7: It's like golf can do it.

678
00:32:45,400 --> 00:32:47,320
Speaker 3: And he's grown a lot before our eyes, and I

679
00:32:47,360 --> 00:32:49,880
Speaker 3: think he's become a different kind of person. And I

680
00:32:49,920 --> 00:32:52,720
Speaker 3: think it's just a great NFL story to have the

681
00:32:52,760 --> 00:32:54,200
Speaker 3: team put faith into him.

682
00:32:54,200 --> 00:32:55,400
Speaker 7: He's not just a placeholder.

683
00:32:55,600 --> 00:32:57,560
Speaker 3: And he came tonight and delivered and played one of

684
00:32:57,600 --> 00:32:58,960
Speaker 3: his best performances of all time.

685
00:32:59,040 --> 00:33:01,640
Speaker 6: I mean, he played great.

686
00:33:02,560 --> 00:33:06,320
Speaker 2: And there is something about Dan Miller saying second time

687
00:33:06,400 --> 00:33:08,840
Speaker 2: since nineteen fifty seven that actually hits harder than the

688
00:33:08,880 --> 00:33:12,120
Speaker 2: first playoff wins since ninety one. Yeah, I mean that

689
00:33:12,200 --> 00:33:14,760
Speaker 2: was like seven years before, like the Civil Rights Act

690
00:33:14,920 --> 00:33:18,200
Speaker 2: nineteen fifty seven, and it's only either the second playoff

691
00:33:18,280 --> 00:33:21,000
Speaker 2: victory that is absolutely preposterous.

692
00:33:21,040 --> 00:33:21,400
Speaker 6: And you're right.

693
00:33:21,400 --> 00:33:23,040
Speaker 2: Sometimes you can win the game in the first half

694
00:33:23,040 --> 00:33:26,040
Speaker 2: like that. And they won it by winning in the

695
00:33:26,080 --> 00:33:28,400
Speaker 2: red zone, even though they did not run the ball

696
00:33:28,440 --> 00:33:31,120
Speaker 2: well tonight. I was impressed by the Rams defense pretty

697
00:33:31,160 --> 00:33:34,120
Speaker 2: much stuffing the Lions run. After the first drive or two,

698
00:33:34,920 --> 00:33:37,400
Speaker 2: the Lions go three for three in the red zone.

699
00:33:37,520 --> 00:33:39,880
Speaker 2: The Rams go zero for three in the red zone.

700
00:33:39,920 --> 00:33:43,200
Speaker 2: M they got a little pass happy in the red zone,

701
00:33:43,400 --> 00:33:45,520
Speaker 2: went away from the run. They were good red zone

702
00:33:45,560 --> 00:33:47,160
Speaker 2: team for most of the year, so it wasn't like

703
00:33:47,320 --> 00:33:49,400
Speaker 2: a recurring problem that they kept going to Cooper Cup.

704
00:33:49,600 --> 00:33:52,400
Speaker 2: Cup had nine targets in this game. He had twenty

705
00:33:52,440 --> 00:33:56,480
Speaker 2: seven yards. Kuka Nakua had one more target. Ten targets,

706
00:33:56,760 --> 00:33:59,560
Speaker 2: one hundred and eighty one yards, the most by a

707
00:33:59,640 --> 00:34:02,960
Speaker 2: rookie in the history of the NFL in a playoff game,

708
00:34:03,240 --> 00:34:04,120
Speaker 2: and a touchdown.

709
00:34:04,640 --> 00:34:07,120
Speaker 1: And here's next gen stats. Greg yeh fifty nine receiving

710
00:34:07,200 --> 00:34:10,480
Speaker 1: yards after contact, the fourth most in any game this season.

711
00:34:10,560 --> 00:34:13,279
Speaker 2: He was a fifth round pick that came into the league.

712
00:34:13,280 --> 00:34:15,640
Speaker 2: I don't think you can argue this this year was

713
00:34:15,760 --> 00:34:18,160
Speaker 2: unquestionably a top five receiver in the league. And it

714
00:34:18,200 --> 00:34:20,560
Speaker 2: wasn't just like scheme got gets him open or anything.

715
00:34:20,560 --> 00:34:22,960
Speaker 2: You watched it tonight, he wasn't even that open half

716
00:34:23,040 --> 00:34:26,760
Speaker 2: the time. He's just running over guys and making contested catches.

717
00:34:26,840 --> 00:34:30,560
Speaker 2: And as great as Golf was, if I'm gonna give

718
00:34:30,600 --> 00:34:32,320
Speaker 2: Golf an a minus for this game, maybe like a

719
00:34:32,400 --> 00:34:36,040
Speaker 2: ninety two, it's like I would give Stafford one hundred.

720
00:34:36,400 --> 00:34:39,440
Speaker 6: He played incredible and I do I mean.

721
00:34:39,680 --> 00:34:41,279
Speaker 1: I he went over three in the red zone, so

722
00:34:41,320 --> 00:34:44,000
Speaker 1: you gotta ding the quarterback a little bit there, but

723
00:34:43,239 --> 00:34:45,399
Speaker 1: I don't want to take away from because he did

724
00:34:45,400 --> 00:34:46,959
Speaker 1: play incredibly well.

725
00:34:47,040 --> 00:34:52,200
Speaker 2: Some of those like the third and nineteen early where

726
00:34:52,200 --> 00:34:54,359
Speaker 2: he throws it across his body to keep that drive

727
00:34:54,400 --> 00:34:56,239
Speaker 2: alive when they were down fourteen three. You just had

728
00:34:56,239 --> 00:34:58,480
Speaker 2: so many throws that other quarterbacks couldn't make, and he

729
00:34:58,520 --> 00:35:01,000
Speaker 2: was just getting absolutely brutal as he finishes with three

730
00:35:01,120 --> 00:35:03,600
Speaker 2: sixty seven and two. They finished with almost one hundred

731
00:35:03,680 --> 00:35:06,160
Speaker 2: yards more than the Lions. They were moving the ball.

732
00:35:06,200 --> 00:35:07,759
Speaker 2: They looked like they were going to win this game.

733
00:35:07,800 --> 00:35:09,920
Speaker 2: In the second half, the Lions had two straight drives

734
00:35:10,360 --> 00:35:12,839
Speaker 2: where they didn't do anything and the Rams really were

735
00:35:12,920 --> 00:35:16,200
Speaker 2: moving the ball. And that's to me why the McVeigh

736
00:35:16,320 --> 00:35:18,160
Speaker 2: time management stuff hurts a little extra.

737
00:35:18,280 --> 00:35:21,359
Speaker 6: Mcvay's obviously a great coach, but this was.

738
00:35:21,360 --> 00:35:24,880
Speaker 2: Literally by the subject of my like thing on Thursday

739
00:35:25,160 --> 00:35:28,400
Speaker 2: in the Dreamatorium, is these coaches blowing timeouts to use

740
00:35:28,440 --> 00:35:30,600
Speaker 2: delay of games. And we've been talking about it on

741
00:35:30,640 --> 00:35:33,640
Speaker 2: this podcast for four or five years that McVeigh always

742
00:35:33,680 --> 00:35:36,239
Speaker 2: is blowing these timeouts at the beginning. So it was that,

743
00:35:36,440 --> 00:35:40,160
Speaker 2: and it was the slightly conservative field goal decisions where

744
00:35:40,440 --> 00:35:42,360
Speaker 2: at the time, I personally didn't have a problem with them,

745
00:35:42,400 --> 00:35:44,440
Speaker 2: and they hit them all for what it's worth, Like

746
00:35:45,000 --> 00:35:48,160
Speaker 2: the ESPN analytics all had them as like slight go

747
00:35:48,280 --> 00:35:50,040
Speaker 2: for its, like even though it was fourth and six,

748
00:35:50,320 --> 00:35:53,160
Speaker 2: fourth and seven, that the way this game was turning out, like,

749
00:35:53,960 --> 00:35:56,440
Speaker 2: he ended up trusting that they were going to get

750
00:35:56,440 --> 00:35:58,520
Speaker 2: those points in the end if they didn't get it,

751
00:35:58,560 --> 00:35:59,600
Speaker 2: but the timeouts to be hurt.

752
00:35:59,600 --> 00:36:02,360
Speaker 1: The finished one more drive and mar somehow splits the

753
00:36:02,480 --> 00:36:04,560
Speaker 1: uprights one more time. They win twenty six, twenty four,

754
00:36:04,600 --> 00:36:06,920
Speaker 1: and it all makes sense. But yeah, it would you

755
00:36:07,000 --> 00:36:08,839
Speaker 1: lose by a point that it looks much better.

756
00:36:08,920 --> 00:36:11,239
Speaker 2: The Lions, for instance, did hit a fourth down in

757
00:36:11,320 --> 00:36:13,080
Speaker 2: the red zone for a touchdown.

758
00:36:13,239 --> 00:36:13,759
Speaker 1: That's what they do.

759
00:36:14,080 --> 00:36:15,000
Speaker 6: Fight White play well.

760
00:36:15,000 --> 00:36:17,640
Speaker 3: I think that's the distinct different nature of these two coaches,

761
00:36:17,680 --> 00:36:19,040
Speaker 3: and you kind of have to live with that with

762
00:36:19,120 --> 00:36:22,439
Speaker 3: McVeigh for all the positive two But yeah, drives ending

763
00:36:22,440 --> 00:36:24,839
Speaker 3: at the six, the nine, and eleven.

764
00:36:25,640 --> 00:36:28,520
Speaker 1: Poka Nakua, one more thing about him? Where's Walker Rosenthal

765
00:36:28,560 --> 00:36:33,640
Speaker 1: by the way, I'm sure he's he's upset. The Rosenthal

766
00:36:33,680 --> 00:36:36,800
Speaker 1: houses upset. The Rams are out of the playoffs. However,

767
00:36:37,680 --> 00:36:39,759
Speaker 1: it was a good year for the Rams. They're ahead

768
00:36:39,760 --> 00:36:43,279
Speaker 1: of schedule. Pooka. It's crazy watching this game because it's

769
00:36:43,320 --> 00:36:45,120
Speaker 1: so how clear it is that Pooka is their number

770
00:36:45,120 --> 00:36:47,600
Speaker 1: one wide receiver and it's Cup that's their number two.

771
00:36:47,680 --> 00:36:50,360
Speaker 1: After a couple of years of injury. H and Sean McVay,

772
00:36:50,400 --> 00:36:52,680
Speaker 1: a guy that almost walked away last year, came out

773
00:36:52,719 --> 00:36:56,120
Speaker 1: of this season even after a tough loss, reflective and

774
00:36:56,480 --> 00:36:57,960
Speaker 1: positive about where he's at.

775
00:36:58,440 --> 00:37:02,719
Speaker 9: And you know, the finality of it is still kind

776
00:37:02,719 --> 00:37:05,680
Speaker 9: of it doesn't totally resonate, But man, did I learn

777
00:37:05,719 --> 00:37:07,560
Speaker 9: a lot and really appreciate this group.

778
00:37:07,680 --> 00:37:08,160
Speaker 1: You know, they.

779
00:37:09,640 --> 00:37:11,960
Speaker 9: They helped me find my way again, and how much

780
00:37:12,000 --> 00:37:13,880
Speaker 9: I love this and love the people that I'm around.

781
00:37:16,160 --> 00:37:19,440
Speaker 1: I was texting with Jordan Rodrig of the of the Athletic,

782
00:37:19,719 --> 00:37:22,399
Speaker 1: of the rod Rig that's next He's going to buy

783
00:37:22,400 --> 00:37:25,880
Speaker 1: out the Athletic from the New York Times, just worrying

784
00:37:26,080 --> 00:37:29,919
Speaker 1: or wondering when the Rams special teams gaff will come

785
00:37:29,960 --> 00:37:33,040
Speaker 1: that will destroy their season. It made me think of

786
00:37:33,120 --> 00:37:37,239
Speaker 1: the Crispin Glover character from Hot Tub Time Machine when

787
00:37:37,800 --> 00:37:39,520
Speaker 1: you know that he loses his arm and then the

788
00:37:39,560 --> 00:37:41,400
Speaker 1: whole movie is like when is when does it happen

789
00:37:41,400 --> 00:37:43,319
Speaker 1: when does he lose the arm and you see all

790
00:37:43,320 --> 00:37:45,799
Speaker 1: these near misses where he almost loses the arm and

791
00:37:45,880 --> 00:37:50,400
Speaker 1: Bretta Mahers kicks like the shadow going across the upright

792
00:37:50,440 --> 00:37:52,600
Speaker 1: over and over again. Maybe think about that so at

793
00:37:52,640 --> 00:37:55,879
Speaker 1: least it wasn't some heartbreaking defeat in that measure, because

794
00:37:55,920 --> 00:37:57,280
Speaker 1: I thought that's what was how the Rams.

795
00:37:57,760 --> 00:37:59,880
Speaker 6: Punt, I forget who were the punt was struggled.

796
00:38:00,120 --> 00:38:04,279
Speaker 1: That's like when the Glover's character threw the chainsawp in

797
00:38:04,320 --> 00:38:06,400
Speaker 1: the air when he was doing the ice sculpture. Like

798
00:38:06,600 --> 00:38:09,759
Speaker 1: there there were so many moments that the Rams, uh,

799
00:38:09,880 --> 00:38:12,600
Speaker 1: it almost happened. But this this is really ultimately mark

800
00:38:12,640 --> 00:38:15,319
Speaker 1: about the Lions in a special day for them, and

801
00:38:15,360 --> 00:38:16,920
Speaker 1: they they their journey continues.

802
00:38:17,120 --> 00:38:20,520
Speaker 3: No, it would have been like, uh a letdown for

803
00:38:20,600 --> 00:38:22,920
Speaker 3: them after all of this to not pull out this win.

804
00:38:23,000 --> 00:38:25,280
Speaker 3: And I do think like for the critique of McVeigh

805
00:38:25,280 --> 00:38:27,440
Speaker 3: and I hear you're saying Greg like in general, like

806
00:38:28,400 --> 00:38:32,360
Speaker 3: coaching is is better than ever and like the McVeigh

807
00:38:32,400 --> 00:38:34,600
Speaker 3: journey in this two matters to me because.

808
00:38:34,600 --> 00:38:36,200
Speaker 1: That depends what team you're talking about.

809
00:38:36,200 --> 00:38:38,440
Speaker 3: By going, well, no, I'm saying like, if you're a

810
00:38:38,520 --> 00:38:41,160
Speaker 3: Rams fan like this season.

811
00:38:41,320 --> 00:38:42,560
Speaker 6: One of the best coaches in the league.

812
00:38:42,600 --> 00:38:43,840
Speaker 3: You do want to get you do, and like I

813
00:38:43,880 --> 00:38:46,120
Speaker 3: think I think he's revived, and I think this this

814
00:38:46,160 --> 00:38:49,000
Speaker 3: brought him like a some you know, a whole new

815
00:38:49,200 --> 00:38:51,480
Speaker 3: like breadth of fresh air, and like this was a

816
00:38:51,520 --> 00:38:53,360
Speaker 3: five months ago where talking about the fact that Matthew

817
00:38:53,360 --> 00:38:57,040
Speaker 3: Stafford probably or likely could be traded before the deadline,

818
00:38:57,040 --> 00:38:59,400
Speaker 3: and we got the best Matthew Stafford season. So the Rams, like,

819
00:38:59,640 --> 00:39:01,719
Speaker 3: I think there's a lot of hope ahead because of

820
00:39:02,200 --> 00:39:03,719
Speaker 3: the way they're rebuilding their team too.

821
00:39:03,960 --> 00:39:04,920
Speaker 6: I think that's true.

822
00:39:05,120 --> 00:39:07,600
Speaker 2: And before we go, like and maybe this is the

823
00:39:07,600 --> 00:39:09,360
Speaker 2: the fan in me, I was definitely rooting for the

824
00:39:09,400 --> 00:39:11,680
Speaker 2: Rams going one, and now the Lions are the team

825
00:39:11,719 --> 00:39:13,360
Speaker 2: I want to win the Super Bowl the most. But

826
00:39:13,560 --> 00:39:18,760
Speaker 2: I do know we've been in this spot after playoff

827
00:39:18,800 --> 00:39:20,960
Speaker 2: losses and said that so many different times, and I

828
00:39:20,960 --> 00:39:23,279
Speaker 2: think this one hurts cut for either team. Was such

829
00:39:23,320 --> 00:39:25,000
Speaker 2: an opportunity. The lines are either going to get the

830
00:39:25,000 --> 00:39:27,319
Speaker 2: Eagles or the Bucks. The Rams would have played the

831
00:39:27,320 --> 00:39:31,000
Speaker 2: Eagles or the Bucks. Matthew Stafford to me is playing

832
00:39:31,040 --> 00:39:33,600
Speaker 2: at an MVP level. You know, Lamar will win it.

833
00:39:34,120 --> 00:39:36,520
Speaker 2: I don't think and I just don't think anyone's playing

834
00:39:36,560 --> 00:39:39,520
Speaker 2: any better than Matthew Stafford. Aaron Donald is towards the

835
00:39:39,640 --> 00:39:42,080
Speaker 2: end of his career. You have these things going right now.

836
00:39:42,320 --> 00:39:45,680
Speaker 2: They had a really good opportunity to keep this thing going,

837
00:39:45,840 --> 00:39:48,560
Speaker 2: maybe to the NFC Championship. Who knows if it ends there,

838
00:39:49,000 --> 00:39:50,880
Speaker 2: And you just don't know if you're going to have

839
00:39:50,920 --> 00:39:53,640
Speaker 2: a healthy Stafford playing at that level at this point

840
00:39:53,680 --> 00:39:56,920
Speaker 2: in the season. Again, hope you hope so because to me,

841
00:39:57,000 --> 00:39:59,919
Speaker 2: he had a ton of entertainment this year.

842
00:40:00,080 --> 00:40:01,520
Speaker 6: They were one of the most fun teams to watch.

843
00:40:01,719 --> 00:40:04,520
Speaker 1: Oh, Greggy, this.

844
00:40:04,600 --> 00:40:09,000
Speaker 2: Was a heat check, Greg, And like Peyton Pritchard when

845
00:40:09,000 --> 00:40:11,200
Speaker 2: he just like pulls up from thirty after he's hit

846
00:40:11,280 --> 00:40:12,200
Speaker 2: like four street threes.

847
00:40:12,239 --> 00:40:13,239
Speaker 6: I did miss this one.

848
00:40:14,160 --> 00:40:16,480
Speaker 1: You almost got it in this year of years, Greg,

849
00:40:16,600 --> 00:40:18,879
Speaker 1: I bet you were thinking the whole time, it's gonna

850
00:40:18,920 --> 00:40:19,719
Speaker 1: come out. Rosenthal.

851
00:40:19,760 --> 00:40:22,200
Speaker 2: In the end, I thought that I really was convinced

852
00:40:22,239 --> 00:40:24,800
Speaker 2: the Rams were going to win this game.

853
00:40:25,320 --> 00:40:28,120
Speaker 6: Throughout I was. I was surprising how that thing ended.

854
00:40:28,080 --> 00:40:30,680
Speaker 1: All right. And lastly, before we take a break, two

855
00:40:30,719 --> 00:40:36,959
Speaker 1: telecast notes. Loved Tariko and he lives in ann Arbor.

856
00:40:37,000 --> 00:40:40,720
Speaker 1: He's a Michigan guy. He was juiced for this game.

857
00:40:40,800 --> 00:40:43,040
Speaker 1: I like seeing that. I like emotion and people like

858
00:40:43,120 --> 00:40:45,680
Speaker 1: being real to them, true to themselves. He wasn't come

859
00:40:45,719 --> 00:40:47,920
Speaker 1: out coming out right and saying it until Collins were

860
00:40:47,960 --> 00:40:49,840
Speaker 1: teat them up at the end of the telecast that

861
00:40:49,920 --> 00:40:52,080
Speaker 1: he's from the area. But he had a line at

862
00:40:52,120 --> 00:40:53,799
Speaker 1: the end, if you want to text the Lions fan

863
00:40:53,960 --> 00:40:56,239
Speaker 1: congrats on the playoff win, do it. It will be

864
00:40:56,280 --> 00:40:58,799
Speaker 1: the first they've ever gotten. Texting wasn't around the last

865
00:40:58,800 --> 00:41:01,680
Speaker 1: time the Lions won a playoff game. Got him and

866
00:41:01,680 --> 00:41:05,200
Speaker 1: and the other telecast note would be when they're showing

867
00:41:05,600 --> 00:41:07,840
Speaker 1: Detroit Luminaries. It was like there was a shot like

868
00:41:08,040 --> 00:41:12,960
Speaker 1: Eminem Barry Sanders, Calvin Johnson, Big Sean. I was like, well,

869
00:41:13,400 --> 00:41:15,040
Speaker 1: we don't need to give Big Sean any cry on

870
00:41:18,280 --> 00:41:20,120
Speaker 1: Big Sean. A little too much pop for Big Sean

871
00:41:21,320 --> 00:41:22,040
Speaker 1: great be fair.

872
00:41:22,520 --> 00:41:25,920
Speaker 2: I mean, he doesn't land with the same gund It's

873
00:41:25,960 --> 00:41:26,759
Speaker 2: like those other three.

874
00:41:26,840 --> 00:41:29,520
Speaker 1: It's like having a mount Rushmore and then putting Gerald

875
00:41:29,640 --> 00:41:30,600
Speaker 1: Ford is the fourth guy.

876
00:41:31,320 --> 00:41:34,960
Speaker 2: We don't need it, Big Sean taking strays at a

877
00:41:34,960 --> 00:41:35,560
Speaker 2: big spot.

878
00:41:35,600 --> 00:41:37,640
Speaker 1: Gerald Ford too. All right, let's take a break. We'll

879
00:41:37,640 --> 00:41:38,080
Speaker 1: be right back.

880
00:41:40,960 --> 00:41:43,319
Speaker 5: Block out of the gun one back after motion, it's

881
00:41:43,400 --> 00:41:45,200
Speaker 5: hunt flock, go to throw flock.

882
00:41:45,239 --> 00:41:48,560
Speaker 6: Oh, hitch pickcock. Oh, here we going to the left.

883
00:41:48,600 --> 00:41:50,280
Speaker 1: Twenty five twenty tix.

884
00:41:50,239 --> 00:41:54,919
Speaker 10: Seat ten to five touchdown Christian Harris. That's the second one,

885
00:41:56,160 --> 00:41:58,040
Speaker 10: the second pick six of the game.

886
00:41:58,320 --> 00:42:03,640
Speaker 1: That's why they pay that guy. Welcome to Houston, Joe Flacco. Oh.

887
00:42:03,719 --> 00:42:07,000
Speaker 10: The Texans team pouring it on in the third quarter

888
00:42:07,080 --> 00:42:08,400
Speaker 10: with two touchdowns.

889
00:42:10,160 --> 00:42:13,080
Speaker 1: Sus Dogs, we have a new Sension power Aid flavor

890
00:42:13,320 --> 00:42:14,080
Speaker 1: down in Houston.

891
00:42:14,239 --> 00:42:15,320
Speaker 7: I think it's very possible.

892
00:42:16,280 --> 00:42:18,920
Speaker 6: Mark's face when he said, welcome to Houston, Joe Flagger.

893
00:42:19,080 --> 00:42:23,839
Speaker 1: Yeah, im porton some salt on the wound. I found

894
00:42:23,880 --> 00:42:28,239
Speaker 1: it unnecessary from Andre Ware with his play by play

895
00:42:28,239 --> 00:42:31,560
Speaker 1: man Mark Vandermere of Heilt. But you get their excitement

896
00:42:31,840 --> 00:42:38,040
Speaker 1: because the Houston Texans absolutely dismantled the Cleveland Browns forty

897
00:42:38,160 --> 00:42:42,840
Speaker 1: five to fourteen. The Texans route Cleveland, a game that

898
00:42:43,000 --> 00:42:46,040
Speaker 1: started close, started looking like it was going to be

899
00:42:46,080 --> 00:42:50,880
Speaker 1: a shootout, and then yes, mistakes by the Browns, the

900
00:42:50,960 --> 00:42:53,600
Speaker 1: back to back pick sixes ended the game. But Mark,

901
00:42:53,640 --> 00:42:56,440
Speaker 1: as you know, and I'm sure was not a pleasant

902
00:42:56,480 --> 00:42:59,959
Speaker 1: watch as a Browns fan. It was the Cleveland defen

903
00:43:00,680 --> 00:43:04,880
Speaker 1: having no answers for CJ. Stroud. That really was what

904
00:43:04,960 --> 00:43:05,880
Speaker 1: this game was about.

905
00:43:06,920 --> 00:43:11,799
Speaker 3: A complete disaster for Cleveland and an incredibly promising term

906
00:43:11,800 --> 00:43:14,719
Speaker 3: of events for CJ. Stroud and the Texans who kind

907
00:43:14,719 --> 00:43:16,880
Speaker 3: of feel like the AFC's packers to me right now,

908
00:43:17,719 --> 00:43:20,640
Speaker 3: I think Cleveland, like everything over the past month plus

909
00:43:20,840 --> 00:43:23,840
Speaker 3: in the Joe Flacco, you know, segment of this season

910
00:43:24,200 --> 00:43:26,640
Speaker 3: that you could hang your hat on, just didn't show

911
00:43:26,719 --> 00:43:28,960
Speaker 3: up in this game. I mean, Blackos turned the ball

912
00:43:29,000 --> 00:43:32,520
Speaker 3: over a bunch, but it not to this degree in

913
00:43:32,520 --> 00:43:34,239
Speaker 3: the sense that it cost them so hard because when

914
00:43:34,239 --> 00:43:37,080
Speaker 3: that first pick six occurred, the Browns were still in this.

915
00:43:37,640 --> 00:43:38,840
Speaker 7: It wasn't it didn't.

916
00:43:38,600 --> 00:43:41,560
Speaker 3: Look good, but they were in it, and you know,

917
00:43:41,840 --> 00:43:44,040
Speaker 3: you kind of thought, like in the past, Flaco was

918
00:43:44,040 --> 00:43:46,279
Speaker 3: found a way productive, why production wise, to get out

919
00:43:46,280 --> 00:43:48,720
Speaker 3: of it. But in this game, like the Amari Cooper

920
00:43:48,719 --> 00:43:51,719
Speaker 3: that fried the Texans a couple of weeks ago, not

921
00:43:51,960 --> 00:43:55,680
Speaker 3: happening this time. Miles Garrett was taken I thought, taken

922
00:43:55,680 --> 00:43:57,680
Speaker 3: to town by Laramie Tunzel, who's one of the few

923
00:43:57,680 --> 00:44:02,479
Speaker 3: tackles that's had success against Miles gear really really kept

924
00:44:02,520 --> 00:44:04,440
Speaker 3: him out of the game almost from wire to wire,

925
00:44:04,800 --> 00:44:07,160
Speaker 3: like I don't know, Cleveland just fell apart.

926
00:44:07,160 --> 00:44:08,920
Speaker 7: And if you're gonna tell me in any of these

927
00:44:08,960 --> 00:44:09,600
Speaker 7: games that.

928
00:44:09,560 --> 00:44:11,920
Speaker 3: Your starting quarterback is gonna go throw back to back

929
00:44:12,320 --> 00:44:14,160
Speaker 3: pick sixes, like on the road.

930
00:44:14,160 --> 00:44:16,960
Speaker 7: You're not gonna win. And it's like, I don't know, Cleveland.

931
00:44:17,000 --> 00:44:21,520
Speaker 3: Cleveland's defense at home has allowed the least amount of

932
00:44:21,520 --> 00:44:25,360
Speaker 3: points per game, but quietly, this nugget that was sitting

933
00:44:25,360 --> 00:44:27,480
Speaker 3: out there as a bit of a menace was that

934
00:44:27,520 --> 00:44:29,799
Speaker 3: they've allowed the most points in the league on the road.

935
00:44:30,160 --> 00:44:33,480
Speaker 3: And so there was some easy It's a very strange breakdown,

936
00:44:33,800 --> 00:44:36,560
Speaker 3: but there was some concern going in about what which

937
00:44:36,640 --> 00:44:38,560
Speaker 3: version of the Browns defense would show up in this

938
00:44:38,800 --> 00:44:39,320
Speaker 3: and c J.

939
00:44:39,440 --> 00:44:41,640
Speaker 7: Stroud is the story of the game. He was He

940
00:44:41,680 --> 00:44:42,200
Speaker 7: was beautiful.

941
00:44:42,280 --> 00:44:45,720
Speaker 1: Sixteen of twenty one, two seventy four, three touchdowns, thirteen

942
00:44:45,800 --> 00:44:50,399
Speaker 1: yards per attempt, Greggie perfect passer rating. And it could

943
00:44:50,400 --> 00:44:53,040
Speaker 1: have even been crazier because he missed like a sixty

944
00:44:53,120 --> 00:44:57,000
Speaker 1: seventy yard bomb in the first half to who was that?

945
00:44:57,120 --> 00:44:59,640
Speaker 1: Nico Collins otherwise have been even crazier. He was a

946
00:44:59,640 --> 00:45:01,239
Speaker 1: complete command in this game.

947
00:45:01,400 --> 00:45:01,600
Speaker 6: Right.

948
00:45:01,680 --> 00:45:04,760
Speaker 2: The pick sixes will stick on our memories and Obviously

949
00:45:04,800 --> 00:45:07,640
Speaker 2: they were massive to happen back to back, especially that

950
00:45:08,120 --> 00:45:10,359
Speaker 2: first one when it's only ten points. But that point

951
00:45:10,400 --> 00:45:12,080
Speaker 2: of the game, I was thinking, man, the Browns are

952
00:45:12,160 --> 00:45:14,920
Speaker 2: lucky to be down only ten. Their defense no showed

953
00:45:15,280 --> 00:45:18,120
Speaker 2: much like the Cowboys game, like there will be like

954
00:45:18,360 --> 00:45:21,920
Speaker 2: the quarterback for the Browns and the offense disappointed, no question,

955
00:45:22,280 --> 00:45:25,320
Speaker 2: But I don't think that the defense gave the Browns

956
00:45:25,320 --> 00:45:27,560
Speaker 2: a chance to win this game no matter what. And

957
00:45:27,560 --> 00:45:31,080
Speaker 2: that's the side that you were counting on. Bobby Slowick

958
00:45:31,320 --> 00:45:35,000
Speaker 2: got one over on Jim Schwartz. There was misdirection, there

959
00:45:35,120 --> 00:45:38,960
Speaker 2: was big plays. They even had that big Singletary run

960
00:45:39,640 --> 00:45:42,200
Speaker 2: early in the first half on a very creative play call.

961
00:45:42,239 --> 00:45:45,920
Speaker 2: They were averaging nine point three yards per play. They

962
00:45:45,960 --> 00:45:48,960
Speaker 2: were averaging almost a first down every time they snapped

963
00:45:49,000 --> 00:45:51,160
Speaker 2: the ball the first three quarters.

964
00:45:51,400 --> 00:45:54,600
Speaker 1: What come down Greg.

965
00:45:54,760 --> 00:45:57,319
Speaker 2: Of this game? Like and you think back to like

966
00:45:57,440 --> 00:46:02,279
Speaker 2: his very first throw of the game. Actually they had

967
00:46:02,280 --> 00:46:04,000
Speaker 2: a dump off that first throw. But then the second

968
00:46:04,000 --> 00:46:07,719
Speaker 2: throw of the game, they are getting right into Stroud's

969
00:46:07,880 --> 00:46:11,799
Speaker 2: grill and he gets to twenty one yards like layering it,

970
00:46:12,040 --> 00:46:16,279
Speaker 2: leading Nico Collins into very tricky zone coverage and he

971
00:46:16,400 --> 00:46:19,279
Speaker 2: had four or five of those type of throws. The

972
00:46:19,600 --> 00:46:22,160
Speaker 2: second pass actually of that drive that Schultz dropped, that

973
00:46:22,239 --> 00:46:24,640
Speaker 2: was another missed opportunity. They actually had a first and

974
00:46:24,719 --> 00:46:26,719
Speaker 2: goal from the two that they get nothing from. That

975
00:46:26,800 --> 00:46:29,000
Speaker 2: was a missed opportunity. Like I kept thinking, Oh, they

976
00:46:29,080 --> 00:46:31,920
Speaker 2: might get caught here because they're not taking advantage of us.

977
00:46:31,920 --> 00:46:35,040
Speaker 2: He had like four or five of those really special CG.

978
00:46:35,680 --> 00:46:38,120
Speaker 2: Stroud throws and he only had to throw the ball

979
00:46:38,200 --> 00:46:40,399
Speaker 2: twenty one times. He had the almost the exact same

980
00:46:40,480 --> 00:46:43,120
Speaker 2: box score as Jordan Love sixteen for twenty one, three

981
00:46:43,160 --> 00:46:47,080
Speaker 2: touchdowns and just like five special throws. That like makes

982
00:46:47,120 --> 00:46:48,840
Speaker 2: you think, Wow, this guy's already a top five or

983
00:46:48,880 --> 00:46:49,440
Speaker 2: six quarterback.

984
00:46:49,480 --> 00:46:51,600
Speaker 1: In the end, I mean, I'm glad you brought it up. Mark,

985
00:46:51,680 --> 00:46:55,400
Speaker 1: It's funny. It's like the Spider Man meme. The Texans

986
00:46:55,400 --> 00:46:58,719
Speaker 1: and the Packers to ten and seven teams that just

987
00:46:58,800 --> 00:47:01,879
Speaker 1: knocked off a face. Obviously, there was a bigger upset

988
00:47:01,920 --> 00:47:03,680
Speaker 1: in the NFC side of things, but the Browns are

989
00:47:03,719 --> 00:47:06,640
Speaker 1: favored in this game, and they it's a team that's

990
00:47:06,880 --> 00:47:10,120
Speaker 1: ahead of schedule with a first year quarterback in Houston's case,

991
00:47:10,160 --> 00:47:13,400
Speaker 1: a straight up rookie, and it's like the team that

992
00:47:13,600 --> 00:47:15,799
Speaker 1: you do not want to face now because they are

993
00:47:16,000 --> 00:47:20,080
Speaker 1: again just like the Packers, there is no fear now

994
00:47:20,200 --> 00:47:23,480
Speaker 1: because just making the playoffs was progress. So now that

995
00:47:23,520 --> 00:47:25,759
Speaker 1: you've won a game, it's like it's starting to be

996
00:47:25,800 --> 00:47:27,480
Speaker 1: like a freight train. And Greg, you could tell me,

997
00:47:27,640 --> 00:47:30,879
Speaker 1: like what their playoff scenario looks like for next week

998
00:47:31,600 --> 00:47:33,960
Speaker 1: if you have it on you and your calculations within

999
00:47:34,000 --> 00:47:38,080
Speaker 1: your brain. But like and from the love to Stroud

1000
00:47:38,080 --> 00:47:42,359
Speaker 1: comparison to it's like these guys are young young men

1001
00:47:42,480 --> 00:47:45,520
Speaker 1: that the entire team is everything's being driven through them

1002
00:47:45,560 --> 00:47:50,000
Speaker 1: and their potential for true greatness. It's pretty amazing to watch.

1003
00:47:50,080 --> 00:47:50,359
Speaker 6: I think.

1004
00:47:50,360 --> 00:47:53,080
Speaker 3: Also they're both well coached and like I'm glad you

1005
00:47:53,120 --> 00:47:56,080
Speaker 3: mentioned like Bobby Slog because earlier on in the year,

1006
00:47:56,520 --> 00:47:59,000
Speaker 3: one thing that it was noted that he did was they,

1007
00:47:59,040 --> 00:48:01,000
Speaker 3: you know, their offensive line was banged up, and he

1008
00:48:01,040 --> 00:48:03,759
Speaker 3: did a good job of like creating certain protections for

1009
00:48:03,800 --> 00:48:07,920
Speaker 3: Stroud And like against Cleveland's pretty ferocious pass rush, like

1010
00:48:07,960 --> 00:48:09,919
Speaker 3: they moved the pocket a lot, they found a way

1011
00:48:09,920 --> 00:48:11,879
Speaker 3: to nullify that pass rush. He was getting the ball

1012
00:48:11,920 --> 00:48:14,839
Speaker 3: out really quick and they were aggressively striking down field.

1013
00:48:14,880 --> 00:48:17,680
Speaker 3: I thought that One of the bigger surprises was Cleveland's

1014
00:48:17,920 --> 00:48:21,799
Speaker 3: defensive backs, who have been awesome. Yeah, completely, as you say,

1015
00:48:21,920 --> 00:48:24,160
Speaker 3: no showing in this game. I almost like did they

1016
00:48:24,640 --> 00:48:27,560
Speaker 3: were they overconfident and just came in thinking a little

1017
00:48:27,560 --> 00:48:30,080
Speaker 3: bit too much because they were fried early and they

1018
00:48:30,080 --> 00:48:31,840
Speaker 3: were fried through the entire contest.

1019
00:48:32,080 --> 00:48:37,200
Speaker 2: It was just like a couple missed assignments. And then

1020
00:48:37,239 --> 00:48:41,160
Speaker 2: the Brevin Jordan play where you know Ausa Cormoa, who

1021
00:48:41,239 --> 00:48:45,120
Speaker 2: was incredible otherwise, was like the best defensive player on

1022
00:48:45,160 --> 00:48:46,880
Speaker 2: the field for either team. I think he had four

1023
00:48:46,960 --> 00:48:48,839
Speaker 2: or five tackles for loss and was the one guy

1024
00:48:48,880 --> 00:48:50,920
Speaker 2: playing but him and another defender. They both kind of

1025
00:48:50,920 --> 00:48:53,520
Speaker 2: flash at Jordan at the same time and run into

1026
00:48:53,600 --> 00:48:55,759
Speaker 2: each other and Jordan ends up like running through for

1027
00:48:55,800 --> 00:48:57,799
Speaker 2: a seventy six year touchoupt. That was the moment where

1028
00:48:57,800 --> 00:49:00,440
Speaker 2: I was like, oh, the Browns are really in trouble,

1029
00:49:00,480 --> 00:49:02,560
Speaker 2: because you look at this final score and you kind

1030
00:49:02,560 --> 00:49:05,640
Speaker 2: of forget. Oh, the Browns were leading in the second

1031
00:49:05,680 --> 00:49:09,400
Speaker 2: quarter fourteen to ten. They had answered both of Houston's

1032
00:49:09,960 --> 00:49:13,480
Speaker 2: scoring drives with touchdowns to take the lead, and then

1033
00:49:13,680 --> 00:49:17,080
Speaker 2: the Texans just go right back and they also had

1034
00:49:17,160 --> 00:49:19,000
Speaker 2: their share of long Rives too. I don't know what

1035
00:49:19,000 --> 00:49:21,040
Speaker 2: what the heck would happen to the Browns well defense,

1036
00:49:21,080 --> 00:49:24,239
Speaker 2: other than you kind of can't trust defenses. I've always

1037
00:49:24,280 --> 00:49:26,080
Speaker 2: believed it, and that was true of the Browns this

1038
00:49:26,160 --> 00:49:27,640
Speaker 2: year too. They would have a game here and there

1039
00:49:27,840 --> 00:49:31,640
Speaker 2: as historic as they were, like offense wins in this league,

1040
00:49:31,680 --> 00:49:33,479
Speaker 2: and there's some days where you're just gonna get fried.

1041
00:49:33,600 --> 00:49:34,759
Speaker 7: Almost all that came at home.

1042
00:49:35,160 --> 00:49:38,239
Speaker 1: Think about every defense that has been hoisted up at

1043
00:49:38,280 --> 00:49:40,560
Speaker 1: some point this season. They have had games where they

1044
00:49:40,560 --> 00:49:42,920
Speaker 1: weren't just bad, they were atrocious, And I just wonder

1045
00:49:43,480 --> 00:49:45,359
Speaker 1: what that's all about. I wonder I was thinking more

1046
00:49:45,400 --> 00:49:47,160
Speaker 1: like big picture, I was thinking about that is have

1047
00:49:47,239 --> 00:49:50,840
Speaker 1: anything to do with the almost unprecedented loss of starting

1048
00:49:50,920 --> 00:49:52,879
Speaker 1: quarterbacks across the league this year. Did some of these

1049
00:49:52,920 --> 00:49:56,680
Speaker 1: defenses get artificially plated? And then and then when the

1050
00:49:56,719 --> 00:49:59,200
Speaker 1: playoffs come, you know, certain things come home to roost.

1051
00:49:59,320 --> 00:50:01,960
Speaker 1: I just want to put it in perspective. Forty five

1052
00:50:02,000 --> 00:50:06,080
Speaker 1: to fourteen final, but on second and sixteen for Cleveland

1053
00:50:06,200 --> 00:50:07,760
Speaker 1: was seven or two to go in the third quarter,

1054
00:50:07,800 --> 00:50:10,000
Speaker 1: Flaco hits David Bell, who I feel like David Bell's

1055
00:50:10,000 --> 00:50:12,600
Speaker 1: targeting maybe seven hundred times in this game for a

1056
00:50:12,680 --> 00:50:15,600
Speaker 1: sixteen yard for a first down. They are at first

1057
00:50:15,600 --> 00:50:19,960
Speaker 1: and ten at the Houston thirty four down by at

1058
00:50:19,960 --> 00:50:22,439
Speaker 1: this point, what was it? They were ten? I think

1059
00:50:22,520 --> 00:50:25,640
Speaker 1: ten set up to make it a one score game

1060
00:50:25,800 --> 00:50:28,200
Speaker 1: again when the Flacco pick six happened, so the game

1061
00:50:28,280 --> 00:50:31,719
Speaker 1: really did swing on that. Let's go to Demico Ryans

1062
00:50:32,000 --> 00:50:36,200
Speaker 1: talking about his young quarterback that has changed Houston.

1063
00:50:37,000 --> 00:50:40,240
Speaker 8: CJ is the reason why we're in this position. He's special,

1064
00:50:40,400 --> 00:50:45,160
Speaker 8: special young man. Special player continues to shine no matter

1065
00:50:45,200 --> 00:50:47,920
Speaker 8: how big the moment is. Like our whole team is

1066
00:50:48,000 --> 00:50:51,120
Speaker 8: leaning on him, and he has the shoulders to carry

1067
00:50:51,160 --> 00:50:53,319
Speaker 8: that weight and he shows up week at the week.

1068
00:50:53,520 --> 00:50:56,760
Speaker 8: He continues to improve week at the week. No moment

1069
00:50:56,880 --> 00:50:59,440
Speaker 8: is too big for him. And when you have a

1070
00:50:59,440 --> 00:51:03,160
Speaker 8: young player who can shlder a load of your team

1071
00:51:03,600 --> 00:51:05,799
Speaker 8: and the way the team is back behind him, the

1072
00:51:05,880 --> 00:51:09,160
Speaker 8: confidence that he gives our entire team, it's so cool

1073
00:51:09,200 --> 00:51:09,640
Speaker 8: to watch.

1074
00:51:10,000 --> 00:51:13,200
Speaker 1: And Mark, I want to also give the floor here

1075
00:51:13,200 --> 00:51:16,120
Speaker 1: to Joe Flacco because even though this game went poorly

1076
00:51:16,360 --> 00:51:19,680
Speaker 1: and the pick sixes will be remembered, it was an

1077
00:51:19,680 --> 00:51:24,719
Speaker 1: incredible run for Flacco, who really electrified and ignited that

1078
00:51:24,920 --> 00:51:28,560
Speaker 1: entire fan base. Before the clock struck midnight, here's Flacco

1079
00:51:28,600 --> 00:51:29,440
Speaker 1: on the end.

1080
00:51:30,800 --> 00:51:33,440
Speaker 11: This is why we love football. This is why we

1081
00:51:33,520 --> 00:51:38,920
Speaker 11: love NFL playoffs. It's fourteen really good football teams and

1082
00:51:38,960 --> 00:51:43,960
Speaker 11: it's one game, and you know, unfortunately for us, but

1083
00:51:44,200 --> 00:51:48,759
Speaker 11: just fortunately, in just the general sense of everything, there's

1084
00:51:48,800 --> 00:51:51,480
Speaker 11: always a winner and a loser, and today, like I said,

1085
00:51:51,560 --> 00:51:54,000
Speaker 11: unfortunately for us, we were the loser. But that's what

1086
00:51:54,040 --> 00:51:56,680
Speaker 11: we love about this game. There's going to be a winner,

1087
00:51:56,719 --> 00:52:00,360
Speaker 11: there's going to be a loser, and you know, you

1088
00:52:00,400 --> 00:52:01,560
Speaker 11: have to learn how to deal with it when you're

1089
00:52:01,600 --> 00:52:02,040
Speaker 11: not the guy.

1090
00:52:02,480 --> 00:52:05,200
Speaker 1: Mark he's a free agent at the end of the year,

1091
00:52:05,239 --> 00:52:07,800
Speaker 1: and Deshaun Watson is obviously still the future of this franchise.

1092
00:52:08,320 --> 00:52:11,320
Speaker 1: So based on his play, you imagine he's gonna search

1093
00:52:11,360 --> 00:52:14,120
Speaker 1: for somewherehere he can play next year, which means just

1094
00:52:14,200 --> 00:52:17,360
Speaker 1: like that, Flaco Browns seems like it's over. It's amazing

1095
00:52:17,400 --> 00:52:19,120
Speaker 1: how quickly just things change.

1096
00:52:19,200 --> 00:52:19,560
Speaker 6: It's uh.

1097
00:52:19,680 --> 00:52:21,960
Speaker 3: I mean, we have Deamar Hamlin sitting out there as

1098
00:52:22,040 --> 00:52:24,640
Speaker 3: the overt comeback player of the year, but I can't

1099
00:52:24,640 --> 00:52:27,359
Speaker 3: think of too many case studies where someone who's played

1100
00:52:27,360 --> 00:52:29,880
Speaker 3: a third of the season has an incredible case to

1101
00:52:29,920 --> 00:52:31,680
Speaker 3: be the comeback Player of the Year. The Browns aren't

1102
00:52:31,719 --> 00:52:35,560
Speaker 3: in this position without Joe Flacco doing what he did

1103
00:52:35,760 --> 00:52:37,840
Speaker 3: week after week. And really, I think I felt like

1104
00:52:37,880 --> 00:52:40,440
Speaker 3: I saw a different version of Joe Flacko with a

1105
00:52:40,480 --> 00:52:44,600
Speaker 3: person came back from this exodus completely.

1106
00:52:44,640 --> 00:52:46,040
Speaker 7: I feel at ease with himself.

1107
00:52:46,360 --> 00:52:49,600
Speaker 3: He brought leadership to a position in Cleveland that has

1108
00:52:49,600 --> 00:52:52,360
Speaker 3: not had strong leadership from the quarterback. They've had chaos.

1109
00:52:52,520 --> 00:52:54,680
Speaker 3: That makes the whole of Shaun Watson thing. It brought

1110
00:52:54,760 --> 00:52:58,640
Speaker 3: a nice feeling to Cleveland season. I don't really it

1111
00:52:58,760 --> 00:53:01,560
Speaker 3: ended the way it did almost easier that it ended

1112
00:53:01,719 --> 00:53:04,040
Speaker 3: forty five to fourteen. There wasn't a lot of what

1113
00:53:04,120 --> 00:53:06,640
Speaker 3: ifs the thing melted, But Joe Flacker was one of

1114
00:53:06,680 --> 00:53:09,040
Speaker 3: the better stories for Brent's fans about them.

1115
00:53:08,880 --> 00:53:11,400
Speaker 1: Mark what if it was the other way around? What

1116
00:53:11,480 --> 00:53:14,280
Speaker 1: if the brown forty five fourteen and then he plays

1117
00:53:14,280 --> 00:53:16,840
Speaker 1: well next week? Like what would Cleveland have done? In

1118
00:53:16,880 --> 00:53:19,919
Speaker 1: some ways it makes it more cut and dry, which

1119
00:53:19,960 --> 00:53:22,080
Speaker 1: doesn't necessarily mean good things for the Browns because who

1120
00:53:22,120 --> 00:53:24,839
Speaker 1: knows what Watson holds in the future with this organization, right,

1121
00:53:24,960 --> 00:53:27,400
Speaker 1: but there's little question now where things go.

1122
00:53:27,280 --> 00:53:28,960
Speaker 6: And they had a fun run.

1123
00:53:29,040 --> 00:53:33,200
Speaker 2: I hate the I personally don't like the sports talk

1124
00:53:33,239 --> 00:53:35,280
Speaker 2: show attitude of like, well, if you don't win a title,

1125
00:53:35,320 --> 00:53:36,880
Speaker 2: it's like, what was the point of it? Is, Like,

1126
00:53:36,920 --> 00:53:38,960
Speaker 2: the point is you're having fun along the way. That

1127
00:53:38,960 --> 00:53:40,839
Speaker 2: that's what that's what life is. They had some fun

1128
00:53:41,120 --> 00:53:43,040
Speaker 2: along the way. You're not going to get a title.

1129
00:53:43,080 --> 00:53:45,160
Speaker 2: One team gets a title at.

1130
00:53:44,840 --> 00:53:47,400
Speaker 1: The ends where an organization is like when you're you

1131
00:53:47,520 --> 00:53:49,040
Speaker 1: keep on getting there and you can't get over there.

1132
00:53:49,080 --> 00:53:51,480
Speaker 1: I get it, but you can at least different.

1133
00:53:51,239 --> 00:53:54,720
Speaker 2: Though, right, And but even if you can enjoy, enjoy

1134
00:53:54,760 --> 00:53:58,200
Speaker 2: the process and enjoy the week, the winds that you

1135
00:53:58,280 --> 00:54:01,080
Speaker 2: get along the way, no matter what, team was a

1136
00:54:01,120 --> 00:54:03,680
Speaker 2: special team because it had those wins like the forty

1137
00:54:03,760 --> 00:54:06,280
Speaker 2: nine ers win, and it had the defense at times

1138
00:54:06,360 --> 00:54:09,760
Speaker 2: was so special and flaccoh it's a it's a thud

1139
00:54:10,640 --> 00:54:13,560
Speaker 2: of an ending, and unfortunately the opponent makes you think

1140
00:54:13,600 --> 00:54:15,279
Speaker 2: about the long term of it all. It's kind of

1141
00:54:15,280 --> 00:54:19,279
Speaker 2: crazy how little pop the Watson trade got in all this.

1142
00:54:19,440 --> 00:54:22,759
Speaker 2: It's like, oh, yeah, by the way, you're beating us

1143
00:54:22,960 --> 00:54:26,360
Speaker 2: with like four or five draft picks that we just

1144
00:54:26,440 --> 00:54:29,560
Speaker 2: sent to you, and you've got a rookie quarterback, kind

1145
00:54:29,520 --> 00:54:32,799
Speaker 2: of rookie quarterback contract, and we've got the biggest albatross

1146
00:54:32,800 --> 00:54:36,080
Speaker 2: of a contract in NFL history. And oh, by the way,

1147
00:54:36,160 --> 00:54:39,680
Speaker 2: our draft pick just moved down about you know, five

1148
00:54:39,760 --> 00:54:42,360
Speaker 2: spots because you beat us and you have our draft

1149
00:54:42,360 --> 00:54:43,600
Speaker 2: pick this year.

1150
00:54:43,719 --> 00:54:45,080
Speaker 1: Mark's in the room. Great, calm down.

1151
00:54:45,120 --> 00:54:47,719
Speaker 2: Well, I'm just saying from a from a team building perspective,

1152
00:54:48,040 --> 00:54:51,320
Speaker 2: and it's kind of crazy. Houston legend, Andre Ware. You

1153
00:54:51,320 --> 00:54:53,320
Speaker 2: remember those running shoot teams at the University of Houston

1154
00:54:53,320 --> 00:54:53,680
Speaker 2: back then.

1155
00:54:53,760 --> 00:54:56,000
Speaker 3: And you've got a coach, because I think this matter

1156
00:54:56,040 --> 00:54:58,360
Speaker 3: is too You've got a coach that beat Coach of

1157
00:54:58,360 --> 00:55:00,600
Speaker 3: the Year candidate Shane Stike in a year ag and

1158
00:55:00,640 --> 00:55:02,520
Speaker 3: Coach of the Year candidate Kevin Or a week ago,

1159
00:55:02,600 --> 00:55:04,320
Speaker 3: and Kevin Stefanski this week two weeks.

1160
00:55:04,239 --> 00:55:07,880
Speaker 1: Yeah, and the Stike and that was a closely fought game.

1161
00:55:07,960 --> 00:55:14,000
Speaker 1: This game really looks so great on Ryan's resume because

1162
00:55:14,040 --> 00:55:16,120
Speaker 1: they were embarrassed by this same Browns team a couple

1163
00:55:16,120 --> 00:55:20,000
Speaker 1: of weeks ago, and he showed Ryan's all the adjustments

1164
00:55:20,000 --> 00:55:22,480
Speaker 1: that he made to take Amari Cooper out of the game,

1165
00:55:22,560 --> 00:55:25,160
Speaker 1: to limit and Djokh, to make it a game where

1166
00:55:25,200 --> 00:55:29,960
Speaker 1: you saw Flacco repeatedly, like I said, targeting the Browns

1167
00:55:30,000 --> 00:55:33,279
Speaker 1: fourth wide receiver and the second tight end, and it

1168
00:55:33,320 --> 00:55:35,520
Speaker 1: was kind of a masterclass all the way around from

1169
00:55:35,600 --> 00:55:36,879
Speaker 1: Houston in a big spot, right.

1170
00:55:36,920 --> 00:55:40,520
Speaker 2: And Ryan's who I think has If their defense had

1171
00:55:40,520 --> 00:55:42,239
Speaker 2: been a top five defense this year, he would have

1172
00:55:42,280 --> 00:55:44,719
Speaker 2: definitely won Coach of the Year. And I think Stevanci's

1173
00:55:44,719 --> 00:55:45,239
Speaker 2: gonna win it on.

1174
00:55:45,520 --> 00:55:46,919
Speaker 1: That should have been the Coach of the Year Bowl.

1175
00:55:47,000 --> 00:55:47,879
Speaker 1: We should now.

1176
00:55:47,840 --> 00:55:50,359
Speaker 3: It's kind of much smarlso vote on these things like

1177
00:55:50,600 --> 00:55:52,000
Speaker 3: during the playoffs or something.

1178
00:55:52,160 --> 00:55:53,960
Speaker 2: There is a case to be made to just vote

1179
00:55:54,000 --> 00:55:56,319
Speaker 2: on everything after the playoffs. It'd be a big disadvantage

1180
00:55:56,320 --> 00:55:58,279
Speaker 2: if you were on a team that threw no fault

1181
00:55:58,320 --> 00:56:00,239
Speaker 2: to your own, like didn't make it, you know, like

1182
00:56:00,280 --> 00:56:01,919
Speaker 2: a defensive player of the Year or something like that.

1183
00:56:02,080 --> 00:56:03,760
Speaker 2: But I think there's something to be said that wouldn't

1184
00:56:03,760 --> 00:56:06,160
Speaker 2: be crazy. But they mixed things up a lot. Stingley

1185
00:56:06,280 --> 00:56:10,560
Speaker 2: had not traveled all year with the opposing top receiver.

1186
00:56:10,719 --> 00:56:14,000
Speaker 2: He shadowed Cooper, and then I thought it really stood

1187
00:56:14,000 --> 00:56:17,239
Speaker 2: out when Flacco just had a straight drop back, he

1188
00:56:17,280 --> 00:56:21,080
Speaker 2: had no chance and the tackles finally caught up, like

1189
00:56:21,160 --> 00:56:24,640
Speaker 2: Grenard had that sack. Will Anderson had a ton of pressures.

1190
00:56:24,640 --> 00:56:27,439
Speaker 2: His pressure eight was through the roof. In this game,

1191
00:56:27,480 --> 00:56:29,480
Speaker 2: Derek Barnett had a big sack. He had a ton

1192
00:56:29,520 --> 00:56:32,279
Speaker 2: of pressures. I really thought that stood out like it

1193
00:56:32,320 --> 00:56:34,279
Speaker 2: was a big play action game where both teams could

1194
00:56:34,280 --> 00:56:36,720
Speaker 2: do play action, but when Stroud dropped back to pass,

1195
00:56:37,120 --> 00:56:40,480
Speaker 2: he had the time that he needed and Flacco really didn't.

1196
00:56:40,520 --> 00:56:43,600
Speaker 2: Both of those interceptions were on plays where he panicked

1197
00:56:43,600 --> 00:56:45,680
Speaker 2: a little because but it was also because quick pressure

1198
00:56:45,760 --> 00:56:46,399
Speaker 2: was right in his face.

1199
00:56:46,480 --> 00:56:48,239
Speaker 3: Yeah, they didn't sack him in the first game, and

1200
00:56:48,320 --> 00:56:50,480
Speaker 3: I know that case Keenan was the quarterback for Houston,

1201
00:56:50,520 --> 00:56:53,560
Speaker 3: so that was a whole different situation. But Flacco was

1202
00:56:53,640 --> 00:56:56,239
Speaker 3: protected well in that first game behind that same offensive line.

1203
00:56:56,280 --> 00:56:58,440
Speaker 3: I think you're right all the injuries because they were

1204
00:56:58,480 --> 00:57:00,520
Speaker 3: so banged up upfront up to him.

1205
00:57:00,520 --> 00:57:00,919
Speaker 1: Big time.

1206
00:57:01,080 --> 00:57:01,600
Speaker 6: Texans.

1207
00:57:01,600 --> 00:57:06,200
Speaker 2: Get the Ravens next week, the early Saturday game. If

1208
00:57:07,000 --> 00:57:12,640
Speaker 2: the Bills come through and win on on Monday, pretty simple.

1209
00:57:12,840 --> 00:57:15,359
Speaker 6: If the Bills, it's like seven plus four.

1210
00:57:15,680 --> 00:57:15,960
Speaker 1: Yeah.

1211
00:57:16,000 --> 00:57:19,840
Speaker 2: If the Bills lose to the Steelers as ten point favorites,

1212
00:57:19,920 --> 00:57:22,120
Speaker 2: and what a ghastly moment.

1213
00:57:21,880 --> 00:57:22,320
Speaker 6: That would be.

1214
00:57:22,440 --> 00:57:23,400
Speaker 1: They don't need the stealers.

1215
00:57:23,720 --> 00:57:26,840
Speaker 2: Then we would get Texans Chiefs, which would be a

1216
00:57:26,880 --> 00:57:30,120
Speaker 2: rematch of the divisional round a few years ago. You know,

1217
00:57:30,160 --> 00:57:32,040
Speaker 2: the Texans, I believe, are the only team in n

1218
00:57:32,320 --> 00:57:34,480
Speaker 2: in the NFL that have never been to a conference

1219
00:57:34,560 --> 00:57:39,440
Speaker 2: championship game. Mike Crazy, I think the Texans, they are

1220
00:57:39,480 --> 00:57:41,840
Speaker 2: the only franchise to never road playoff game, along the

1221
00:57:41,920 --> 00:57:43,640
Speaker 2: only one to never ap. Yeah, that makes sense a

1222
00:57:43,640 --> 00:57:47,560
Speaker 2: conference championship game. So they have now reached the furthest.

1223
00:57:47,200 --> 00:57:49,840
Speaker 1: They've they're the patrons, say, of West of Us, which

1224
00:57:49,840 --> 00:57:53,000
Speaker 1: we just celebrated. Yeah one and done's all over the

1225
00:57:53,000 --> 00:57:55,760
Speaker 1: place with the with the Bengals through the years. All

1226
00:57:55,840 --> 00:58:02,280
Speaker 1: right then, right, so so so, so we have one

1227
00:58:02,280 --> 00:58:04,520
Speaker 1: more game to hit. I had one more thing I

1228
00:58:04,520 --> 00:58:07,720
Speaker 1: wanted to share there, but now it's gone. It happens.

1229
00:58:08,320 --> 00:58:11,800
Speaker 1: I was so caught up in Gregg's comments, it.

1230
00:58:11,880 --> 00:58:12,640
Speaker 7: Escaped your mind.

1231
00:58:12,720 --> 00:58:13,200
Speaker 6: Here's the thing.

1232
00:58:13,480 --> 00:58:17,200
Speaker 2: Sometimes it comes back, but we've already moved on to

1233
00:58:17,280 --> 00:58:18,600
Speaker 2: the next game, and that hurts too.

1234
00:58:18,720 --> 00:58:21,840
Speaker 6: Do it hurts? But I think we've done this show

1235
00:58:21,880 --> 00:58:22,720
Speaker 6: a long time. Mark.

1236
00:58:23,120 --> 00:58:25,240
Speaker 2: I want to give Dan the grace to if it

1237
00:58:25,280 --> 00:58:27,720
Speaker 2: comes back during the next game, it's back. We can

1238
00:58:27,760 --> 00:58:30,280
Speaker 2: have an official time out or some some sort of

1239
00:58:30,360 --> 00:58:32,360
Speaker 2: song and you give us that's already back.

1240
00:58:32,440 --> 00:58:36,760
Speaker 1: Oh okay, all right, well it's and the only disappointment

1241
00:58:37,600 --> 00:58:41,800
Speaker 1: it's not. It's not. All I wanted to say was respectfully,

1242
00:58:42,400 --> 00:58:45,840
Speaker 1: because I love the divisional round so much. Pittsburgh Steelers

1243
00:58:45,840 --> 00:58:48,160
Speaker 1: are not invited to my divisional round now, so we

1244
00:58:48,160 --> 00:58:51,160
Speaker 1: we do not want any upsets. We want chalk for

1245
00:58:51,280 --> 00:58:54,680
Speaker 1: this Monday game to be played, maybe in a blizzard,

1246
00:58:54,760 --> 00:58:55,120
Speaker 1: maybe not.

1247
00:58:55,440 --> 00:58:57,840
Speaker 2: No, I think that was worth it. I think it was.

1248
00:58:58,000 --> 00:59:00,760
Speaker 2: I appreciate it respectfully. Just like the dis you can't come.

1249
00:59:00,920 --> 00:59:02,120
Speaker 7: You've issued your edict.

1250
00:59:02,400 --> 00:59:04,240
Speaker 1: All right, let's move on. It's time now for the

1251
00:59:04,280 --> 00:59:08,720
Speaker 1: Sunday Drive presented by the first ever Toyota Grand Highlander.

1252
00:59:08,840 --> 00:59:10,440
Speaker 1: You know what you want to hear? Something funny, my

1253
00:59:10,520 --> 00:59:13,120
Speaker 1: wife says to me. So my wife says to me.

1254
00:59:13,600 --> 00:59:15,840
Speaker 1: My wife says to me, oh, you know a car

1255
00:59:15,880 --> 00:59:19,200
Speaker 1: I kind of like the Grand Highlander. And I say,

1256
00:59:19,360 --> 00:59:22,400
Speaker 1: I says to her, I've been talking about that damn

1257
00:59:22,480 --> 00:59:25,920
Speaker 1: car all year on the podcast. And she went no

1258
00:59:25,960 --> 00:59:28,480
Speaker 1: because she doesn't listen to the show. But I don't know.

1259
00:59:28,560 --> 00:59:30,200
Speaker 1: I could end up with a Highlander. You never know

1260
00:59:30,360 --> 00:59:31,120
Speaker 1: how she ever.

1261
00:59:31,000 --> 00:59:32,200
Speaker 7: Listened to this show.

1262
00:59:32,240 --> 00:59:34,280
Speaker 6: Oh no, mine hasn't either.

1263
00:59:34,600 --> 00:59:39,240
Speaker 2: Well, that's Hilander people, Johnny Hilander out there.

1264
00:59:39,680 --> 00:59:40,800
Speaker 6: I know you love the show.

1265
00:59:41,080 --> 00:59:44,080
Speaker 2: Dan just gave you, like a free one minute pop

1266
00:59:44,120 --> 00:59:44,919
Speaker 2: that's worth an action.

1267
00:59:45,040 --> 00:59:47,640
Speaker 1: My wife wants your car. Can you give me the car.

1268
00:59:48,360 --> 00:59:50,680
Speaker 1: I'll drive the car. I'll talk about how much I

1269
00:59:50,800 --> 00:59:54,320
Speaker 1: like the car. Let's get to the game without further ado.

1270
00:59:54,400 --> 00:59:57,000
Speaker 1: A game played in some of the most miserably cold

1271
00:59:57,000 --> 01:00:02,000
Speaker 1: conditions in the history of professional football. Edwards Larry's in

1272
01:00:02,040 --> 01:00:04,920
Speaker 1: the game now. Running back Tay fake to him my.

1273
01:00:05,000 --> 01:00:09,200
Speaker 5: Home soares right, Sarry top Rice at the five touchdown.

1274
01:00:11,200 --> 01:00:15,280
Speaker 5: City rookie rush Hey Rice his first postseason touchdown.

1275
01:00:15,720 --> 01:00:17,440
Speaker 1: Eleven York trussing pattern.

1276
01:00:17,720 --> 01:00:21,720
Speaker 5: And just like Germany, the Chiefs have an outstanding opening

1277
01:00:21,800 --> 01:00:23,040
Speaker 5: drive thro a touchdown to.

1278
01:00:23,000 --> 01:00:26,000
Speaker 1: Start the game. I thought, what you talking about?

1279
01:00:26,000 --> 01:00:29,000
Speaker 6: Like historical jermyn like just.

1280
01:00:28,960 --> 01:00:33,080
Speaker 1: Like, don't get Greg going. We don't need to tea

1281
01:00:33,160 --> 01:00:37,480
Speaker 1: Greg up for some old h talk. We catch my drift.

1282
01:00:38,160 --> 01:00:42,320
Speaker 2: Just like Germany, an alliance will decide the future of

1283
01:00:42,360 --> 01:00:45,280
Speaker 2: our company and we will have to take away that.

1284
01:00:45,360 --> 01:00:47,840
Speaker 1: We don't need it. We didn't need it and now

1285
01:00:47,880 --> 01:00:51,480
Speaker 1: we got it, So thank you to you. Mark just

1286
01:00:51,560 --> 01:00:55,120
Speaker 1: passed out. Uh, Mitch Holtis, I'm just getting out of

1287
01:00:55,160 --> 01:01:00,919
Speaker 1: the way. Wtf with the call? Are the Chiefs gonna

1288
01:01:01,000 --> 01:01:04,400
Speaker 1: rope a dope us here? Raci Rice has a big,

1289
01:01:04,520 --> 01:01:07,960
Speaker 1: big game in his playoff debut. Eight catches for a

1290
01:01:08,000 --> 01:01:10,400
Speaker 1: buck thirty and a touchdown, another score called back in

1291
01:01:10,440 --> 01:01:15,360
Speaker 1: a dumb penalty by the Chiefs, and Kansas City easily

1292
01:01:15,400 --> 01:01:18,919
Speaker 1: takes care of business against a Dolphins team that, let's

1293
01:01:18,920 --> 01:01:23,040
Speaker 1: face it, come on, put him in those conditions. Of course,

1294
01:01:23,040 --> 01:01:25,320
Speaker 1: I locked it up twenty six to seven final, and

1295
01:01:25,400 --> 01:01:28,960
Speaker 1: quite frankly, it could have been a lot worse. But

1296
01:01:29,160 --> 01:01:32,440
Speaker 1: the Chiefs continued to have some struggles boys in the

1297
01:01:32,480 --> 01:01:35,760
Speaker 1: red zone where they would get in close and like

1298
01:01:35,800 --> 01:01:38,440
Speaker 1: I said, a penalty wiped out one touchdown. You had

1299
01:01:38,480 --> 01:01:40,600
Speaker 1: a bad Travis Kelsey drop which seems to be in

1300
01:01:40,640 --> 01:01:42,480
Speaker 1: every week thing now, which is weird. A couple of

1301
01:01:42,520 --> 01:01:46,120
Speaker 1: them that short circuit in another drive. So this is

1302
01:01:46,120 --> 01:01:48,760
Speaker 1: a game that could have easily been thirty five to seven,

1303
01:01:49,720 --> 01:01:51,880
Speaker 1: but they still took care of business and it was

1304
01:01:51,960 --> 01:01:55,680
Speaker 1: pretty clean bit of business from the Chiefs, who are

1305
01:01:55,760 --> 01:01:59,200
Speaker 1: a battle tested team that did not seem like the

1306
01:01:59,240 --> 01:02:01,640
Speaker 1: cold bothered them. And I know we talked about it

1307
01:02:01,680 --> 01:02:04,840
Speaker 1: on Thursday, the Miami Dobbins. Well, the players weren't born

1308
01:02:05,320 --> 01:02:07,480
Speaker 1: in Miami and all that, but you know what, Miami,

1309
01:02:07,520 --> 01:02:10,360
Speaker 1: they're a team that practices in Miami. They're a team

1310
01:02:10,440 --> 01:02:13,520
Speaker 1: that plays their games in Miami. They have a quarterback

1311
01:02:13,560 --> 01:02:15,600
Speaker 1: that's from Hawaii, for Christ's sake, in the middle of

1312
01:02:15,600 --> 01:02:18,240
Speaker 1: the Pacific Ocean, and they played like a team that

1313
01:02:18,320 --> 01:02:21,880
Speaker 1: wanted nothing to do with Arrowhead on that particular night.

1314
01:02:21,960 --> 01:02:22,160
Speaker 6: Yup.

1315
01:02:22,160 --> 01:02:24,240
Speaker 3: I thought it was an incredible case study on that front,

1316
01:02:24,280 --> 01:02:29,400
Speaker 3: because I you know, this matters like McDaniel's teams are

1317
01:02:29,440 --> 01:02:32,360
Speaker 3: four and ten in games played in December and January

1318
01:02:32,400 --> 01:02:34,560
Speaker 3: over the last two years, sixteen and six and others,

1319
01:02:34,760 --> 01:02:36,440
Speaker 3: and a lot of that has to do with, you know,

1320
01:02:36,560 --> 01:02:38,920
Speaker 3: you bring teams down to South Beach early on in

1321
01:02:38,960 --> 01:02:40,600
Speaker 3: the year, and teams are not ready for in the

1322
01:02:40,640 --> 01:02:42,240
Speaker 3: reverse one hundred plus degree temperature.

1323
01:02:42,280 --> 01:02:43,000
Speaker 1: The boat race them.

1324
01:02:43,080 --> 01:02:45,400
Speaker 3: You boat race them, and they finished one in six

1325
01:02:45,440 --> 01:02:48,280
Speaker 3: against playoff teams this year and you're facing a quarterback.

1326
01:02:48,280 --> 01:02:49,760
Speaker 7: Because I thought that was exactly true.

1327
01:02:49,760 --> 01:02:52,920
Speaker 3: The Chiefs looked comfortable in this climate much more so.

1328
01:02:53,160 --> 01:02:55,720
Speaker 3: Mahomes is twenty one and six in his career and

1329
01:02:55,800 --> 01:02:59,600
Speaker 3: games played in forty degrees or colder that matters. They're

1330
01:02:59,640 --> 01:03:02,040
Speaker 3: just they And I think you could lean on one thing.

1331
01:03:02,160 --> 01:03:04,560
Speaker 3: You knew their defense would show up at home, and

1332
01:03:04,600 --> 01:03:07,480
Speaker 3: they absolutely did. I think the Dolphins didn't convert a

1333
01:03:07,520 --> 01:03:11,960
Speaker 3: third down until some part of the fourth quarter. Like

1334
01:03:12,000 --> 01:03:14,920
Speaker 3: so everything that you thought Miami could maybe do, they

1335
01:03:14,960 --> 01:03:17,560
Speaker 3: couldn't do. And then you have you've been waiting for

1336
01:03:17,600 --> 01:03:19,560
Speaker 3: this guy to want someone to step up as a

1337
01:03:19,600 --> 01:03:22,400
Speaker 3: wide receiver and or Shei Rice did it yesterday. And

1338
01:03:22,440 --> 01:03:25,840
Speaker 3: it's like they like a team that had more drops

1339
01:03:25,840 --> 01:03:27,800
Speaker 3: than any other team in the league. Coming into this game.

1340
01:03:28,440 --> 01:03:31,040
Speaker 3: It looked more competent. And I'm willing to forgive a

1341
01:03:31,040 --> 01:03:33,320
Speaker 3: couple of mistakes here and there because it was like

1342
01:03:33,560 --> 01:03:34,240
Speaker 3: butt cold.

1343
01:03:34,520 --> 01:03:37,600
Speaker 2: I know, I I but cold, Like multiple things can

1344
01:03:37,680 --> 01:03:40,760
Speaker 2: be true here. The Dolphins could be not ill prepared

1345
01:03:40,800 --> 01:03:42,840
Speaker 2: for this moment. This could be the worst game of

1346
01:03:42,840 --> 01:03:45,400
Speaker 2: the weekend. It was, and it could also be the

1347
01:03:45,440 --> 01:03:47,560
Speaker 2: Chief's best game of the season. And I don't even

1348
01:03:47,560 --> 01:03:50,160
Speaker 2: think it was a question. Like there was a game

1349
01:03:50,200 --> 01:03:53,120
Speaker 2: against the Chargers that they played a pretty complete brand

1350
01:03:53,120 --> 01:03:55,120
Speaker 2: of ball and finished close, but even that was a

1351
01:03:55,120 --> 01:03:57,520
Speaker 2: one score game. They bought raced the Bears in Week

1352
01:03:57,560 --> 01:03:59,560
Speaker 2: three when the Bears were just a mess in the second,

1353
01:04:00,200 --> 01:04:03,680
Speaker 2: counting that they completely dominated this game until that those

1354
01:04:03,800 --> 01:04:06,640
Speaker 2: last couple of garbage time drives. The yardage was three

1355
01:04:06,760 --> 01:04:09,640
Speaker 2: hundred and ninety to one fifty one. If it wasn't

1356
01:04:09,680 --> 01:04:12,240
Speaker 2: for that fifty three yard touchdown by Tyreek which was

1357
01:04:12,280 --> 01:04:15,280
Speaker 2: a great individual play by Tyreek Hill on a throw

1358
01:04:15,320 --> 01:04:17,280
Speaker 2: that was a little underthrown, but a nice play call,

1359
01:04:18,080 --> 01:04:20,040
Speaker 2: they were just killing them. They had a nine play

1360
01:04:20,080 --> 01:04:21,880
Speaker 2: drive to start the game, which was the best drive

1361
01:04:21,920 --> 01:04:24,280
Speaker 2: they maybe had since Germany. A ten play drive, a

1362
01:04:24,320 --> 01:04:26,840
Speaker 2: twelve play drive, a thirteen play drive, a fourteen play drive.

1363
01:04:26,840 --> 01:04:29,440
Speaker 2: You don't think of the Chiefs as like a tough team,

1364
01:04:29,800 --> 01:04:32,080
Speaker 2: but they looked like a tough team. They got a

1365
01:04:32,120 --> 01:04:33,920
Speaker 2: tough defense, we know that, but they looked like a

1366
01:04:33,960 --> 01:04:38,439
Speaker 2: tough team on Saturday. They were very prepared for this game.

1367
01:04:38,480 --> 01:04:40,920
Speaker 2: They ground this Dolphins team into dust. And you kind

1368
01:04:40,960 --> 01:04:43,120
Speaker 2: of don't think of Mahomes as like a tough quarterback,

1369
01:04:43,160 --> 01:04:46,720
Speaker 2: but man is he tough. Like the throws that he

1370
01:04:46,760 --> 01:04:48,960
Speaker 2: could make in this weather and the runs that he

1371
01:04:49,000 --> 01:04:50,160
Speaker 2: could make were awesome.

1372
01:04:50,240 --> 01:04:52,200
Speaker 6: Andy Reid talked about it afterwards.

1373
01:04:52,600 --> 01:04:57,240
Speaker 12: Pat had a nice day just right from the gig go.

1374
01:04:57,480 --> 01:04:59,840
Speaker 12: I mean, I don't think they were anticipating us throwing

1375
01:04:59,840 --> 01:05:02,640
Speaker 12: the quite as much as we did, but we were

1376
01:05:02,640 --> 01:05:04,960
Speaker 12: able to come out and sling it. A lot of

1377
01:05:05,040 --> 01:05:08,560
Speaker 12: quarterbacks can't do that what he did in that kind

1378
01:05:08,560 --> 01:05:08,920
Speaker 12: of weather.

1379
01:05:09,560 --> 01:05:12,120
Speaker 1: Yeah, And you know, talked about that on Thursday too,

1380
01:05:12,120 --> 01:05:14,840
Speaker 1: that you have Mahomes and you have Kelsey and it's

1381
01:05:14,880 --> 01:05:17,440
Speaker 1: like they're gonna make some plays in these conditions. And

1382
01:05:17,480 --> 01:05:19,680
Speaker 1: then it was like can the other team do that?

1383
01:05:19,880 --> 01:05:22,720
Speaker 1: And it's funny thing about Mahomes in general, like he

1384
01:05:22,800 --> 01:05:25,000
Speaker 1: kind of walks funny and he kind of talks funny,

1385
01:05:25,000 --> 01:05:27,600
Speaker 1: and he doesn't he doesn't even he doesn't even move

1386
01:05:27,920 --> 01:05:31,080
Speaker 1: very gracefully for one of the great athletes in the

1387
01:05:31,120 --> 01:05:35,120
Speaker 1: history of the sport. And yet like obviously his production

1388
01:05:35,240 --> 01:05:39,560
Speaker 1: and his career success, team success, and what you saw

1389
01:05:39,960 --> 01:05:43,040
Speaker 1: on Saturday night reminds you of like he's special and

1390
01:05:43,080 --> 01:05:45,880
Speaker 1: he's an all time player and they have a puncher's

1391
01:05:45,960 --> 01:05:48,440
Speaker 1: chance in the playoffs because of that, and if they

1392
01:05:48,440 --> 01:05:51,840
Speaker 1: would have continued to pour it on after that, Rice touchdown.

1393
01:05:52,160 --> 01:05:54,840
Speaker 1: I would have been like, just you know, shaking my

1394
01:05:54,880 --> 01:05:58,600
Speaker 1: fist as someone who also drafted Mahomes for a fantasy

1395
01:05:58,600 --> 01:06:00,720
Speaker 1: team in this very strange year for them, Are they

1396
01:06:00,720 --> 01:06:02,920
Speaker 1: gonna go put up forty five on the Dolphins. They

1397
01:06:02,960 --> 01:06:04,600
Speaker 1: didn't do that. They showed a lot of their awards

1398
01:06:04,640 --> 01:06:06,960
Speaker 1: that have been an issue all season on offense.

1399
01:06:06,720 --> 01:06:09,040
Speaker 2: And they had those sustained drives that I was talking about,

1400
01:06:09,040 --> 01:06:10,600
Speaker 2: so they took me. That was kind of portant. They

1401
01:06:10,600 --> 01:06:13,600
Speaker 2: did get one more touchdown. We didn't see a lot

1402
01:06:13,600 --> 01:06:15,720
Speaker 2: of ten, twelve, thirteen play drives out of this Chiefs

1403
01:06:15,760 --> 01:06:16,680
Speaker 2: team for a long time.

1404
01:06:16,880 --> 01:06:18,800
Speaker 6: I three five of them, so that was pretty good.

1405
01:06:18,880 --> 01:06:19,600
Speaker 6: I agree with you.

1406
01:06:19,680 --> 01:06:22,080
Speaker 1: I just I can't because I've been down this road

1407
01:06:22,120 --> 01:06:24,360
Speaker 1: with this team this year as as we all have,

1408
01:06:24,440 --> 01:06:26,280
Speaker 1: where you you kind of buy in on them again.

1409
01:06:26,640 --> 01:06:29,400
Speaker 1: I thought the opponent was perfect for them, Mark, I

1410
01:06:29,400 --> 01:06:32,680
Speaker 1: could say it now and your showman, and I respect you.

1411
01:06:32,760 --> 01:06:34,760
Speaker 1: I can't believe you locked up the Dolphins against me

1412
01:06:34,800 --> 01:06:38,240
Speaker 1: in this one. This I can't either. This was a

1413
01:06:38,320 --> 01:06:42,360
Speaker 1: Kansas City team that just was I mean, you couldn't

1414
01:06:42,360 --> 01:06:44,080
Speaker 1: have put it on a platter for well.

1415
01:06:44,120 --> 01:06:47,520
Speaker 3: I did literally poorly for the confrontation in the in

1416
01:06:47,560 --> 01:06:50,240
Speaker 3: the but I yeah, but about four minutes into this game,

1417
01:06:50,280 --> 01:06:52,240
Speaker 3: I realized that was a dune Dolphins.

1418
01:06:52,480 --> 01:06:54,800
Speaker 1: I mean they could not wait. There was a drive,

1419
01:06:54,840 --> 01:06:57,440
Speaker 1: I think their penultimate drive where I actively seemed like

1420
01:06:57,440 --> 01:06:59,800
Speaker 1: they were trying to run out the clock like they

1421
01:06:59,640 --> 01:07:01,200
Speaker 1: they We're a team that was ready to get on

1422
01:07:01,240 --> 01:07:03,560
Speaker 1: the bus, and I think it's gonna be interesting to

1423
01:07:03,600 --> 01:07:07,560
Speaker 1: see what's next around the Dolphins after this game. Obviously

1424
01:07:07,720 --> 01:07:10,920
Speaker 1: McDaniel loves Toua, and I don't think TWOA is like

1425
01:07:11,400 --> 01:07:13,959
Speaker 1: gonna be We're not gonna be talking about his job

1426
01:07:14,000 --> 01:07:15,840
Speaker 1: security in the near term. But they have to like

1427
01:07:15,880 --> 01:07:18,080
Speaker 1: start talking contract and do they want to make Tua

1428
01:07:18,400 --> 01:07:20,200
Speaker 1: one of the highest paid contracts in the league. He

1429
01:07:20,200 --> 01:07:22,840
Speaker 1: did lead the league and yardede passing, so he's he's

1430
01:07:22,880 --> 01:07:26,080
Speaker 1: gonna command a big contract. And I just wonder what

1431
01:07:26,120 --> 01:07:28,400
Speaker 1: the future holds to Miami because it does feel like

1432
01:07:28,840 --> 01:07:32,439
Speaker 1: this is a soft team and a front running team

1433
01:07:32,480 --> 01:07:35,200
Speaker 1: and a team that's not built to play these types

1434
01:07:35,200 --> 01:07:40,480
Speaker 1: of games. Here is Mike McDaniel talking about a tough

1435
01:07:40,520 --> 01:07:41,200
Speaker 1: day at the office.

1436
01:07:41,640 --> 01:07:47,040
Speaker 13: Nobody on this team really harbored all the excuses, the

1437
01:07:47,240 --> 01:07:52,919
Speaker 13: kind of whether all the different variables that people would

1438
01:07:52,920 --> 01:07:56,640
Speaker 13: talk about injuries, whether all that stuff we came here

1439
01:07:56,680 --> 01:07:58,040
Speaker 13: to win didn't happen.

1440
01:07:58,680 --> 01:08:01,600
Speaker 1: And it is fair to say Greg point out not

1441
01:08:01,680 --> 01:08:04,600
Speaker 1: to make excuses, because he's not making excuses. But they're

1442
01:08:04,640 --> 01:08:06,800
Speaker 1: missing so many key players on their defense. So in

1443
01:08:06,800 --> 01:08:10,720
Speaker 1: addition to the conditions not being conducive to what they

1444
01:08:10,840 --> 01:08:13,400
Speaker 1: liked to do, they were just missing so many playmakers

1445
01:08:13,520 --> 01:08:15,360
Speaker 1: that that factored in the Kansas City.

1446
01:08:15,240 --> 01:08:18,880
Speaker 2: Successful The defense of injuries especially gave them almost no

1447
01:08:19,040 --> 01:08:21,800
Speaker 2: chance in this game. In retrospect, I think it was

1448
01:08:21,920 --> 01:08:24,479
Speaker 2: six defensive starters, and it was like, you know, their

1449
01:08:24,520 --> 01:08:27,200
Speaker 2: best is so many of their best defensive I mean six.

1450
01:08:27,600 --> 01:08:29,559
Speaker 2: It's a lot in their offensive line n because they

1451
01:08:29,560 --> 01:08:33,479
Speaker 2: couldn't run the ball. But ultimately I think they had

1452
01:08:33,520 --> 01:08:36,920
Speaker 2: one touchdown in their final sixteen offensive possessions, so like

1453
01:08:37,200 --> 01:08:40,519
Speaker 2: that really wasn't where the I know, they weren't totally

1454
01:08:40,560 --> 01:08:42,800
Speaker 2: healthy on offense. Moster was coming back, Wada was coming back.

1455
01:08:42,840 --> 01:08:44,760
Speaker 2: The offensive line all year like it was a very

1456
01:08:44,800 --> 01:08:47,799
Speaker 2: injury plague team, but things were relatively stable on offense,

1457
01:08:47,840 --> 01:08:51,120
Speaker 2: and they totally flatlined. Tua had a sequence in the

1458
01:08:51,120 --> 01:08:53,439
Speaker 2: first half and they showed another angle of this play.

1459
01:08:53,840 --> 01:08:54,680
Speaker 6: It was a second and one.

1460
01:08:54,720 --> 01:08:56,200
Speaker 2: I don't know if you remember it, where he just

1461
01:08:56,240 --> 01:08:57,880
Speaker 2: threw one of those It was like a swing pass.

1462
01:08:58,360 --> 01:09:00,000
Speaker 2: Was it two moster just when it hit the helmet

1463
01:09:00,160 --> 01:09:02,479
Speaker 2: and no, and it hits the dirt and that was

1464
01:09:02,520 --> 01:09:04,439
Speaker 2: gonna be a forty yard play and he just threw

1465
01:09:04,479 --> 01:09:06,840
Speaker 2: it in the dirt. And then the very next play

1466
01:09:07,240 --> 01:09:09,240
Speaker 2: they got pressure on him and he throws one of

1467
01:09:09,240 --> 01:09:11,920
Speaker 2: those two floaters where he like tries to throw it

1468
01:09:11,960 --> 01:09:14,960
Speaker 2: over the defender that's in his face and ends up

1469
01:09:14,960 --> 01:09:18,040
Speaker 2: being an interception, and that they made him hold the ball.

1470
01:09:18,080 --> 01:09:19,280
Speaker 2: And then there was the end of the sequence. I

1471
01:09:19,320 --> 01:09:21,160
Speaker 2: think that's what you're talking about them almost like running

1472
01:09:21,200 --> 01:09:23,880
Speaker 2: the playout. Like at the end of the game, he's

1473
01:09:23,880 --> 01:09:27,160
Speaker 2: throwing short on third and ten and in fourth and sixth, then.

1474
01:09:27,080 --> 01:09:29,000
Speaker 1: The play clock down to five four three.

1475
01:09:29,080 --> 01:09:30,960
Speaker 2: He threw for a six yard loss on third and

1476
01:09:31,000 --> 01:09:32,920
Speaker 2: ten in the late hurry up situation, and then he

1477
01:09:32,920 --> 01:09:35,040
Speaker 2: threw short on fourth and sixteen, and it was just.

1478
01:09:34,960 --> 01:09:37,759
Speaker 1: Like, man, I know I'm not piling on here. Although

1479
01:09:38,000 --> 01:09:40,360
Speaker 1: Dolphins fins, you know he's right about your team in

1480
01:09:40,360 --> 01:09:43,120
Speaker 1: the end, but is this a guy?

1481
01:09:43,400 --> 01:09:45,000
Speaker 3: Is this the guy well, I think if we're gonna

1482
01:09:45,040 --> 01:09:47,759
Speaker 3: if we're gonna say it's the guy, or to wonder

1483
01:09:47,800 --> 01:09:51,519
Speaker 3: if Dak Prescott needs to be reevaluated in terms of,

1484
01:09:51,760 --> 01:09:54,880
Speaker 3: like the moment that matters most, Dak Prescott hasn't lived

1485
01:09:54,920 --> 01:09:56,559
Speaker 3: up to it. Now too, It didn't have a chance

1486
01:09:56,600 --> 01:09:59,479
Speaker 3: to play in the Blastar's playoff, But like, this is

1487
01:09:59,520 --> 01:10:02,320
Speaker 3: someone that in big, big moments and sort of like

1488
01:10:02,439 --> 01:10:05,280
Speaker 3: mirrors the entire Dolphins, has not shown up when it

1489
01:10:05,320 --> 01:10:06,920
Speaker 3: mattered the most late in the season.

1490
01:10:06,960 --> 01:10:08,840
Speaker 7: I mean, this team just ran out of gas.

1491
01:10:08,840 --> 01:10:11,960
Speaker 3: You lose fifty six to nineteen to Baltimore, you crumble

1492
01:10:12,000 --> 01:10:14,800
Speaker 3: against the Bills a week ago, and you know, show

1493
01:10:14,840 --> 01:10:17,799
Speaker 3: in the playoffs and it's like, if everything isn't perfect

1494
01:10:17,800 --> 01:10:20,839
Speaker 3: for Tua in the Dolphins, there seem to be real issues.

1495
01:10:20,880 --> 01:10:23,599
Speaker 3: And I think that's what gives me that's not how

1496
01:10:23,640 --> 01:10:25,560
Speaker 3: it works. He got to go into adversity. I know

1497
01:10:25,600 --> 01:10:27,320
Speaker 3: they're banged up, but every team's banged up.

1498
01:10:27,360 --> 01:10:31,599
Speaker 2: He reminds me a little bit of like earlier career cousins.

1499
01:10:32,439 --> 01:10:35,599
Speaker 2: I think he's a he's well over, he's definitely ahead

1500
01:10:35,640 --> 01:10:37,680
Speaker 2: of the Dalton scale. He's in a top he's a

1501
01:10:37,720 --> 01:10:41,439
Speaker 2: top ten to twelve type of quarterback, maybe higher that

1502
01:10:41,479 --> 01:10:43,479
Speaker 2: would be on the lower end. But things are going

1503
01:10:43,520 --> 01:10:47,120
Speaker 2: to have to be right around him. But like that,

1504
01:10:47,280 --> 01:10:49,519
Speaker 2: that's always the question with quarterbacks like that. I think

1505
01:10:49,560 --> 01:10:52,840
Speaker 2: Dak's even another little level above that. But I think

1506
01:10:52,880 --> 01:10:54,680
Speaker 2: that's where he is. That he's a good quarterback, but

1507
01:10:54,680 --> 01:10:56,360
Speaker 2: you're gonna need to be tighter. Like they had four

1508
01:10:56,400 --> 01:10:59,519
Speaker 2: pre snap penalties. I counted him up on third down

1509
01:10:59,560 --> 01:11:01,519
Speaker 2: and almost all of them were in short yarded situation.

1510
01:11:01,600 --> 01:11:03,880
Speaker 6: But that's just like so sloppy.

1511
01:11:04,160 --> 01:11:06,360
Speaker 2: Uh, they couldn't really run the ball that The Chiefs

1512
01:11:06,400 --> 01:11:08,559
Speaker 2: were the better running team, which you wouldn't have expected.

1513
01:11:08,600 --> 01:11:11,000
Speaker 2: So like Mahomes, you look at this box score and

1514
01:11:11,040 --> 01:11:13,519
Speaker 2: it's like two for forty one running. That's a Mahomes

1515
01:11:13,600 --> 01:11:15,200
Speaker 2: running box score if I ever saw. And he had

1516
01:11:15,240 --> 01:11:18,800
Speaker 2: like two backbreaking runs in this game. So Tua was bad.

1517
01:11:19,400 --> 01:11:21,320
Speaker 2: He's gonna need everything around him, I think, to be

1518
01:11:21,439 --> 01:11:23,639
Speaker 2: like really good, and I think that's possible.

1519
01:11:23,720 --> 01:11:24,760
Speaker 6: But he's not going to carry you.

1520
01:11:25,479 --> 01:11:29,360
Speaker 3: Yeah, big decision impossible though, big decision over the court.

1521
01:11:29,600 --> 01:11:31,439
Speaker 7: Everything needs to be perfect around your back.

1522
01:11:31,520 --> 01:11:33,360
Speaker 6: That's perfect. But I just mean, like we s.

1523
01:11:33,520 --> 01:11:35,519
Speaker 1: Three isn't kind to those type of quarterbacks when you're

1524
01:11:35,560 --> 01:11:36,400
Speaker 1: trying to win Lombardi.

1525
01:11:36,520 --> 01:11:38,640
Speaker 3: But everything kind of it has been perfect around to

1526
01:11:38,960 --> 01:11:40,920
Speaker 3: for Law until the injuries mounted.

1527
01:11:41,000 --> 01:11:41,559
Speaker 6: I mean, like the.

1528
01:11:42,400 --> 01:11:45,680
Speaker 2: This, this defense and the injuries and everything in the way.

1529
01:11:45,720 --> 01:11:48,400
Speaker 2: I hear what you're saying, but I don't know. We've

1530
01:11:48,439 --> 01:11:51,800
Speaker 2: seen some like mid level quarterbacks win super Bowls or

1531
01:11:51,880 --> 01:11:55,360
Speaker 2: higher than mid level if but he's probably not gonna

1532
01:11:55,360 --> 01:11:57,040
Speaker 2: be like the top five guy year after year.

1533
01:11:57,040 --> 01:11:58,800
Speaker 6: And and Dolphins fans have been trying to tell us.

1534
01:11:58,680 --> 01:12:01,479
Speaker 1: That the Dolphins finished one and six against playoff teams

1535
01:12:01,479 --> 01:12:04,600
Speaker 1: this year with a minus one hundred and ten point differential.

1536
01:12:05,080 --> 01:12:08,720
Speaker 1: So yeah, a positive season in some ways, like the

1537
01:12:08,720 --> 01:12:11,320
Speaker 1: fact that to a state healthy played every game including

1538
01:12:11,360 --> 01:12:14,040
Speaker 1: the playoffs, was a great development, But there are big

1539
01:12:14,120 --> 01:12:16,280
Speaker 1: questions because they keep winning the super Bowl in September,

1540
01:12:16,280 --> 01:12:18,920
Speaker 1: but that's not how it works in the big picture.

1541
01:12:19,040 --> 01:12:21,360
Speaker 2: And this Chiefs, I mean, this is unquestionably we knew

1542
01:12:21,360 --> 01:12:22,880
Speaker 2: it all season, but seeing it in the playoffs is

1543
01:12:22,960 --> 01:12:25,320
Speaker 2: unquestionably the best Chiefs defense we've ever seen. So we

1544
01:12:25,680 --> 01:12:27,800
Speaker 2: do have a Hall of Fame coach, one of the

1545
01:12:27,840 --> 01:12:30,519
Speaker 2: best quarterbacks of all time, and the best defense that

1546
01:12:30,520 --> 01:12:32,800
Speaker 2: they've ever had. It's why you got to say they

1547
01:12:32,800 --> 01:12:35,559
Speaker 2: got a chance. I mean, if they're in Buffalo, you're

1548
01:12:35,560 --> 01:12:37,240

Speaker 2: course they do.

1550
01:12:37,960 --> 01:12:41,000
Speaker 6: And if they're hosting Houston, they're the favorites in that game.

1551
01:12:41,040 --> 01:12:43,680
Speaker 2: Not like they're a lock or anything, but either way,

1552
01:12:43,680 --> 01:12:45,439
Speaker 2: they got a chance. Karloft has had a nice game,

1553
01:12:45,439 --> 01:12:47,080
Speaker 2: like the whole defense showed up, played great.

Speaker 1: the biggest star in the world with Travis Kelcey in

1580
01:14:09,479 --> 01:14:10,320
Speaker 1: a relationship.

1581
01:14:10,360 --> 01:14:10,719
Speaker 6: It's fine.

1582
01:14:10,720 --> 01:14:13,439
Speaker 7: It's like, how does television work? This is how it works.

1583
01:14:13,600 --> 01:14:15,880
Speaker 1: This is how culture works. It's good. It's part of

1584
01:14:16,000 --> 01:14:18,000
Speaker 1: the story of the chief season. Whether you like it

Speaker 2: Sometimes you get on me for you know, contrarian takes

1589
01:14:26,320 --> 01:14:28,920
Speaker 2: and whatnot. Sometimes I was laughing because I'm going to

Speaker 2: Everyone goes out to like bars to go watch these

1595
01:14:43,400 --> 01:14:45,639
Speaker 2: these games. It's like how much you're putting down.

1596
01:14:46,000 --> 01:14:47,280
Speaker 1: When everybody goes out to balls.

1597
01:14:47,320 --> 01:14:49,360
Speaker 2: I'm just saying, like, you go out, you watch games,

1598
01:14:49,439 --> 01:14:50,840
Speaker 2: you go out to the bars, you watch a game

1599
01:14:50,960 --> 01:14:51,320
Speaker 2: or whatever.

1600
01:14:51,400 --> 01:14:53,840
Speaker 6: Yes, how much is a beer at like just one story?

1601
01:14:53,920 --> 01:14:55,200
Speaker 1: You're trying to get me in trouble right now. You

1602
01:14:55,200 --> 01:14:57,360
Speaker 1: want me to get into it debate that gets me fired.

1603
01:14:57,439 --> 01:14:59,559
Speaker 6: What I'm saying is this is Greg hosting the show.

1604
01:14:59,640 --> 01:15:00,400
Speaker 6: I'm saying, like, you.

1605
01:15:00,320 --> 01:15:04,320
Speaker 2: Don't even think twice about drinking, you know, putting down

1606
01:15:04,360 --> 01:15:07,360
Speaker 2: however much on to watch the games. So that and

1607
01:15:07,840 --> 01:15:10,360
Speaker 2: you're putting down six bucks or whatever for Peacock. Now

1608
01:15:11,000 --> 01:15:14,280
Speaker 2: it's like an NFL playoff game. It's incredibly entertaining. And

1609
01:15:14,320 --> 01:15:16,439
Speaker 2: then on the back end, it's like, oh, do I

1610
01:15:16,439 --> 01:15:18,400
Speaker 2: want to check out Season ten a Top Chef again?

1611
01:15:18,560 --> 01:15:20,960
Speaker 6: Maybe I do? Maybe I do, Yeah, but maybe I

1612
01:15:20,960 --> 01:15:22,960
Speaker 6: want to go check that. I hear you, it's I

1613
01:15:23,000 --> 01:15:23,879
Speaker 6: get six dollars.

1614
01:15:23,960 --> 01:15:24,400
Speaker 14: Calm down.

1615
01:15:24,439 --> 01:15:28,240
Speaker 2: People pay six dollars for a coffee. There's lines out

1616
01:15:28,280 --> 01:15:30,640
Speaker 2: the door in Santa Monica to pay six dollars for

1617
01:15:30,720 --> 01:15:33,720
Speaker 2: someting your financial situation on everyone else.

1618
01:15:33,760 --> 01:15:35,160
Speaker 3: I think the thing is like, if you're going to

1619
01:15:35,200 --> 01:15:38,320
Speaker 3: a bar, you're choosing to Like I tell you, you.

1620
01:15:37,840 --> 01:15:39,680
Speaker 2: Could choose not to watch it or go to the

1621
01:15:39,720 --> 01:15:40,920
Speaker 2: bar if you don't want to watch it.

1622
01:15:40,960 --> 01:15:42,800
Speaker 6: If you know, people's a lot.

1623
01:15:42,680 --> 01:15:44,679
Speaker 1: Of people don't want to go to the bar. And

1624
01:15:44,680 --> 01:15:46,559
Speaker 1: and by the way, you know.

1625
01:15:46,600 --> 01:15:47,240
Speaker 6: Go to your friends.

1626
01:15:47,320 --> 01:15:49,000
Speaker 1: Yeah, make me what if you don't have friends? What

1627
01:15:49,040 --> 01:15:51,599
Speaker 1: if you just want to sit home and watch the game.

1628
01:15:52,320 --> 01:15:54,160
Speaker 1: But maybe you're not great with a smart.

1629
01:15:54,000 --> 01:15:55,720
Speaker 2: So you paid so I would I guess I would

1630
01:15:55,840 --> 01:15:59,840
Speaker 2: venture to say in that scenario, six dollars is fine, Like,

1631
01:16:00,120 --> 01:16:02,880
Speaker 2: calm down, six dollars a month, No, but you just

1632
01:16:02,880 --> 01:16:05,519
Speaker 2: cancel it. You also don't know it's not a lifetime rate.

1633
01:16:05,600 --> 01:16:09,280
Speaker 1: Don't throw me directly to a Ted the Talking Teddy

1634
01:16:09,280 --> 01:16:12,920
Speaker 1: Bear reboot immediately after the game. I didn't ask for that, right,

1635
01:16:13,120 --> 01:16:16,160
Speaker 1: nobody asked for that. Uh, go check out the box

1636
01:16:16,200 --> 01:16:20,040
Speaker 1: office that Ted two did. Everybody Ted had a moment.

1637
01:16:20,240 --> 01:16:22,519
Speaker 1: It was weird. I was talking about with my buddy

1638
01:16:22,520 --> 01:16:26,360
Speaker 1: Bob on text today, like it's weird, the whole Ted phenomenon.

1639
01:16:26,400 --> 01:16:27,840
Speaker 1: And then everybody was kind of like, all right, we're

1640
01:16:27,920 --> 01:16:30,280
Speaker 1: kind of done with Seth MacFarlane. Ted two came out

1641
01:16:30,280 --> 01:16:32,120
Speaker 1: as stiffed. He made a cowboy movie of some kind.

1642
01:16:32,160 --> 01:16:34,439
Speaker 1: Nobody wanted to see that, and then everyone moved on,

1643
01:16:34,520 --> 01:16:36,200
Speaker 1: and then all of a sudden Ted shows up again,

1644
01:16:36,400 --> 01:16:38,920
Speaker 1: the talking teddy Bear. Didn't ask for it, don't want it,

1645
01:16:39,040 --> 01:16:40,719
Speaker 1: don't stick it in my TV.

1646
01:16:41,160 --> 01:16:43,960
Speaker 2: It's funny because when that popped on Walker, you want

1647
01:16:43,400 --> 01:16:45,320
Speaker 2: to I want to watch that? I was like, I

1648
01:16:45,360 --> 01:16:48,320
Speaker 2: don't know. That's an our, that's a hard r uh,

1649
01:16:48,439 --> 01:16:52,479
Speaker 2: don't need it. Holdovers available on Peacock. Great, great movie.

1650
01:16:53,000 --> 01:17:01,040
Speaker 2: Your what's your financial steak in Peacock? All right, I'll

1651
01:17:01,040 --> 01:17:02,160
Speaker 2: give you the last word on that one.

1652
01:17:02,200 --> 01:17:02,400
Speaker 1: Mark.

1653
01:17:02,880 --> 01:17:05,599
Speaker 7: I'm very happy for Greg and his over.

1654
01:17:05,840 --> 01:17:07,640
Speaker 6: I just fed. I went and paid twenty bucks to

1655
01:17:07,680 --> 01:17:08,519
Speaker 6: go see Holdovers.

1656
01:17:09,000 --> 01:17:10,439
Speaker 1: You know it would be saying who asked for Ted?

1657
01:17:10,479 --> 01:17:14,040
Speaker 1: Who has for more? Ted? Honestly not a human that

1658
01:17:14,080 --> 01:17:16,840
Speaker 1: I know. What? What was Mark Wahlberg like in nineteen

1659
01:17:16,880 --> 01:17:19,600
Speaker 1: ninety three? Well go read some stories about.

1660
01:17:19,479 --> 01:17:23,280
Speaker 2: That now if you want to say, Jason Garrett popping

1661
01:17:23,320 --> 01:17:25,639
Speaker 2: out of nowhere after not announcing games all year, maybe

1662
01:17:25,680 --> 01:17:27,680
Speaker 2: he had one or two and he's suddenly in like

1663
01:17:27,720 --> 01:17:30,479
Speaker 2: one of the biggest games of the year, and he's

1664
01:17:30,560 --> 01:17:33,559
Speaker 2: saying to go for on their own thirty five by

1665
01:17:33,560 --> 01:17:34,400
Speaker 2: the way down twelve.

1666
01:17:34,400 --> 01:17:36,400
Speaker 6: Good job by Garrett. It's like you would have never

1667
01:17:36,439 --> 01:17:37,200
Speaker 6: done that as a coach.

1668
01:17:37,200 --> 01:17:39,840
Speaker 2: That was a big moment for analytics in general, that

1669
01:17:39,960 --> 01:17:42,160
Speaker 2: Jason Garrett is saying, Gopher fourth out on your own

1670
01:17:42,160 --> 01:17:42,559
Speaker 2: thirty five.

1671
01:17:42,600 --> 01:17:45,840
Speaker 3: But maybe he's had a Mike McCarthy esque epiphany during

1672
01:17:45,880 --> 01:17:46,760
Speaker 3: his time away from the.

1673
01:17:46,760 --> 01:17:49,080
Speaker 6: G I would like a little perhaps super bullpen there.

1674
01:17:50,560 --> 01:17:52,960
Speaker 1: Okay, real quick before we say goodbye. We didn't talk

1675
01:17:53,000 --> 01:17:55,920
Speaker 1: Steeler bills, of course, because there was a nasty blizzard

Speaker 7: are you doing?

1679
01:18:02,320 --> 01:18:05,120
Speaker 1: Big pop for the governor. By the way, it's a woman, right,

1680
01:18:05,160 --> 01:18:08,320
Speaker 1: She's getting a ton of Kathy. Yeah, Kathy's getting a

1700
01:19:12,000 --> 01:19:14,160
Speaker 2: And now here we are and this team is better

1701
01:19:14,560 --> 01:19:16,800
Speaker 2: with Jordan Love. Does this annoy you?

1702
01:19:17,280 --> 01:19:20,720
Speaker 3: I kind of felt going into this season that it

1703
01:19:20,760 --> 01:19:22,880
Speaker 3: was an exhaustion with Aaron Rodgers that I that I

1704
01:19:22,920 --> 01:19:23,720
Speaker 3: will experience it.

1705
01:19:23,760 --> 01:19:26,080
Speaker 1: This is different. Will this bother you Mark, if we

1706
01:19:26,160 --> 01:19:28,120
Speaker 1: put it in this perspective because I tweeted, because it's

1707
01:19:28,080 --> 01:19:28,599
Speaker 1: still bothering.

1708
01:19:28,680 --> 01:19:31,160
Speaker 3: We start talking about Peacock again, I'll start to get annoyed.

1709
01:19:31,240 --> 01:19:34,960
Speaker 1: Brett Farv nineteen ninety nineteen ninety two to two thousand

1710
01:19:34,960 --> 01:19:38,120
Speaker 1: and seven, Aaron Rodgers two thousand and eight to twenty

1711
01:19:38,240 --> 01:19:42,679
Speaker 1: twenty two, Jordan Love twenty twenty three to two thousand

1712
01:19:42,720 --> 01:19:46,960
Speaker 1: and thirty eight, followed by a disastrous stay with the Jets,

1713
01:19:47,040 --> 01:19:48,120
Speaker 1: my entire existence.

1714
01:19:48,479 --> 01:19:50,960
Speaker 2: So you'll get one super Bowl title about eight if

1715
01:19:51,000 --> 01:19:53,960
Speaker 2: divisional round in conference lasses and I'll take that.

1716
01:19:53,960 --> 01:19:55,880
Speaker 6: It'll be fine a couple of weeks, big fun.

1717
01:19:56,280 --> 01:19:58,240
Speaker 14: Look, I know it's weird to say it because a

1718
01:19:58,240 --> 01:20:00,320
Speaker 14: lot of people would consider themselves lucky to have what

1719
01:20:00,320 --> 01:20:03,679
Speaker 14: the Packers have had. But we've had some really tough losses.

1720
01:20:04,160 --> 01:20:07,000
Speaker 14: So to be here now, I feel I feel great.

1721
01:20:07,200 --> 01:20:07,960
Speaker 14: I feel good.

Speaker 1: Randy is a really good dude. So and I haven't

1730
01:20:36,320 --> 01:20:37,840
Speaker 1: met too many jerk Packer fans.

1731
01:20:38,040 --> 01:20:41,080
Speaker 3: No, that's that's It's not their fault that they've had

1732
01:20:41,120 --> 01:20:45,000
Speaker 3: this fortune. They're not an unlikable thing. They know ball,

1733
01:20:45,240 --> 01:20:48,679
Speaker 3: they know ball. They have a good group covering the team.

1734
01:20:48,720 --> 01:20:50,000
Speaker 3: I feel like, which which helps.

1735
01:20:50,120 --> 01:20:53,360
Speaker 2: They're ten point underdogs, by the way, in San Francisco,

1736
01:20:53,479 --> 01:20:54,960
Speaker 2: So your Housemarke, give me all the points.

1737

Speaker 1: I love it.

1739
01:20:56,800 --> 01:20:57,200
Speaker 7: This game.

1740
01:20:57,400 --> 01:20:59,280
Speaker 14: This game really was like we were just happy to

1741
01:20:59,360 --> 01:21:02,200
Speaker 14: be there, you know, I think going and humble, going

1742
01:21:02,280 --> 01:21:04,880
Speaker 14: in just zen. That's been my mood all week because Zen,

1743
01:21:04,920 --> 01:21:06,519
Speaker 14: I'm just happy to be here. I'm happy to watch

1744
01:21:06,560 --> 01:21:06,840
Speaker 14: the game.

1745
01:21:07,360 --> 01:21:09,360
Speaker 7: If I'm the Niners, I'm thinking, like, wait, how did

1746
01:21:09,439 --> 01:21:11,719
Speaker 7: Marion loving the Packers?

1747
01:21:11,800 --> 01:21:14,880
Speaker 1: Next early prediction either the Packers or the Texans, and

1748
01:21:15,160 --> 01:21:18,240
Speaker 1: damn it, maybe both win next week. I love that.

1749
01:21:19,080 --> 01:21:21,040
Speaker 7: I would not I've been saying for a long time.

1750
01:21:21,080 --> 01:21:23,760
Speaker 3: I think Texans two to two playoff wins, and I

1751
01:21:23,800 --> 01:21:27,000
Speaker 3: think it's It's not even a remotely impossible concept that

1752
01:21:27,040 --> 01:21:28,040
Speaker 3: they could challenge the rate.

1753
01:21:28,160 --> 01:21:31,479
Speaker 2: What if your hoisted on your own petard there? You

1754
01:21:31,560 --> 01:21:37,559
Speaker 2: know well that there was something about the football gods.

1755
01:21:38,200 --> 01:21:41,120
Speaker 1: You're getting behind one other team this year, the Texans,

1756
01:21:41,200 --> 01:21:44,720
Speaker 1: and then they dismantle the Browns. What is up with

1757
01:21:44,800 --> 01:21:46,800
Speaker 1: the football gods? Why can't they just be cool?

1758
01:21:47,120 --> 01:21:50,479
Speaker 3: I never I never liked the fact that Cleveland got

1759
01:21:50,720 --> 01:21:53,960
Speaker 3: Houston at all at all, And it came to uh,

1760
01:21:54,000 --> 01:21:55,719
Speaker 3: it came to fruition those concerns.

1761
01:21:56,320 --> 01:21:56,479
Speaker 9: Uh.

1762
01:21:56,840 --> 01:21:59,840
Speaker 1: And then and then the team of ATN. He may

1763
01:22:00,120 --> 01:22:03,720
Speaker 1: be the Texans and Packers, the two teams that maybe

1764
01:22:03,760 --> 01:22:06,040
Speaker 1: should have been the team of ATN meeting the super Bowl,

1765
01:22:06,080 --> 01:22:08,680
Speaker 1: that would be it's all in play. We made a

1766
01:22:08,720 --> 01:22:10,559
Speaker 1: grave error with the with the team of ATEN.

1767
01:22:11,360 --> 01:22:14,280
Speaker 6: I blame Tyler Goodson for dropping that fourth and one pass.

1768
01:22:15,280 --> 01:22:18,559
Speaker 1: All right, time to go, Great job behind the glass,
