Now why do we 34 00:02:19,960 --> 00:02:22,240 Speaker 1: go to the confluence because that's where they played the game, 35 00:02:22,360 --> 00:02:26,160 Speaker 1: Right there, where the Monongahela and the Alleghany get together. 36 00:02:26,200 --> 00:02:29,079 Speaker 1: They have a baby and the baby is the Ohio River. 37 00:02:29,919 --> 00:02:31,880 Speaker 1: So that is the birth of the Ohio right there. 38 00:02:32,120 --> 00:02:37,200 Speaker 1: It's very public the PDA type display there and so 39 00:02:37,280 --> 00:02:40,560 Speaker 1: that is where the story was. Mike Tarriko, Chris Collinsworth. 40 00:02:40,919 --> 00:02:43,920 Speaker 1: Collinsworth had his knee pads out for the quarterbacks as 41 00:02:43,919 --> 00:02:46,400 Speaker 1: he always does there and if you. 42 00:02:46,360 --> 00:02:47,280 Speaker 4: Didn't see the game. 43 00:02:47,320 --> 00:02:51,160 Speaker 1: Maybe not eh, it was a game for a half, 44 00:02:51,760 --> 00:02:54,400 Speaker 1: game for a half in a quarter about a quarter 45 00:02:55,320 --> 00:02:55,880 Speaker 1: not so good. 46 00:02:55,919 --> 00:02:58,120 Speaker 4: So we watched so you would not have to. 47 00:02:58,160 --> 00:03:04,040 Speaker 1: As Jordan Love passed for almost almost four hundred yards 48 00:03:04,080 --> 00:03:07,840 Speaker 1: and not one, not two, but three touchdowns as Green Bay, 49 00:03:08,680 --> 00:03:15,320 Speaker 1: after falling behind at halftime, sprinted past the Pittsburg Steelers 50 00:03:16,200 --> 00:03:18,480 Speaker 1: in the second half. Now, the better story, though, is 51 00:03:18,560 --> 00:03:20,480 Speaker 1: in the losing locker room. So that is where we 52 00:03:20,480 --> 00:03:24,360 Speaker 1: will begin. And despite him down playing it, saying, well, 53 00:03:24,360 --> 00:03:26,280 Speaker 1: it was not a revenge game. 54 00:03:26,440 --> 00:03:27,080 Speaker 4: It will be different. 55 00:03:27,120 --> 00:03:30,200 Speaker 1: It was at Lambeau. That'd be Aaron Rodgers. Now, Aaron 56 00:03:30,280 --> 00:03:34,239 Speaker 1: Rodgers was put on a pedestal. He was absolutely put 57 00:03:34,240 --> 00:03:37,240 Speaker 1: on a pedestal here, and he went against his old team. 58 00:03:37,240 --> 00:03:39,320 Speaker 1: We all know the backstory, right, we all know it. 59 00:03:39,360 --> 00:03:41,280 Speaker 1: You'll listen to a sports talk radio show late at 60 00:03:41,360 --> 00:03:44,760 Speaker 1: night here, you know the backstory. So Rogers was out 61 00:03:44,760 --> 00:03:47,760 Speaker 1: there doing his thing, and how did that go? 62 00:03:50,120 --> 00:03:51,760 Speaker 4: Not good? Not good? 63 00:03:52,240 --> 00:03:57,120 Speaker 1: Rogers pathetic in the second half in particular there and 64 00:03:57,160 --> 00:03:59,240 Speaker 1: we'll get into it. But here's Rogers, first of all, 65 00:03:59,280 --> 00:04:03,120 Speaker 1: pointing out that things just didn't go right in many 66 00:04:03,160 --> 00:04:07,040 Speaker 1: areas including paying attention to what you're supposed to do. 67 00:04:07,080 --> 00:04:10,360 Speaker 1: Here's Rogers complaining about the execution of the Steelers. 68 00:04:10,480 --> 00:04:13,720 Speaker 5: We had some discipline issues and some penalties everyone necessary, 69 00:04:13,760 --> 00:04:15,240 Speaker 5: and then you're not going to win a lot of 70 00:04:15,240 --> 00:04:19,080 Speaker 5: games when we're so bad on third down. Bos bailed 71 00:04:19,120 --> 00:04:22,400 Speaker 5: us out some four incredible kicks, But you're playing good 72 00:04:22,400 --> 00:04:24,359 Speaker 5: teams and need to score toestdowns and we just stalled 73 00:04:24,360 --> 00:04:25,280 Speaker 5: out in the high red zone. 74 00:04:26,000 --> 00:04:27,760 Speaker 4: All right, so let us discuss. That's a good jumping 75 00:04:27,760 --> 00:04:29,960 Speaker 4: off point. So the question, how do you. 76 00:04:29,960 --> 00:04:37,200 Speaker 1: Explain ain Rogers' performance or lack thereof for Pittsburgh in 77 00:04:37,200 --> 00:04:40,440 Speaker 1: the second half. So I've got Tommy Hill, figure, eye wash, 78 00:04:40,480 --> 00:04:43,360 Speaker 1: and tiki bar, and we will combine all of these 79 00:04:43,400 --> 00:04:47,480 Speaker 1: things together and we are going to make an outstanding 80 00:04:47,600 --> 00:04:49,640 Speaker 1: rice cake, which is about what the Steelers were in 81 00:04:49,680 --> 00:04:50,720 Speaker 1: the second half, a rice case. 82 00:04:51,080 --> 00:04:53,520 Speaker 4: As you know, it's disgusting rice cakes. Who wants to 83 00:04:53,560 --> 00:04:54,159 Speaker 4: eat that crap? 84 00:04:54,320 --> 00:04:59,640 Speaker 1: So A, so much for the Aaron Rodgers payback for 85 00:04:59,760 --> 00:05:02,240 Speaker 1: ve game and all that stuff, which he tried to downplay, 86 00:05:02,279 --> 00:05:05,800 Speaker 1: but Mike got and Rodgers was a big part of it. 87 00:05:05,880 --> 00:05:08,119 Speaker 4: With the defense was embarrassing. We'll get to that here 88 00:05:08,800 --> 00:05:09,360 Speaker 4: in a minute. 89 00:05:09,440 --> 00:05:12,880 Speaker 1: Even if the Packers had not gotten the benefit of 90 00:05:12,920 --> 00:05:16,080 Speaker 1: being able to bait the Steeler playoffs because they're undisciplined 91 00:05:16,560 --> 00:05:19,880 Speaker 1: into excessive penalties, even if that had not been the case, 92 00:05:20,240 --> 00:05:22,800 Speaker 1: the way the Steelers tackled it would not have mattered. 93 00:05:23,000 --> 00:05:25,560 Speaker 1: We're starting out with Aaron Rodgers here, So Aaron Rodgers, 94 00:05:26,520 --> 00:05:29,479 Speaker 1: who was okay. I wouldn't say he was great in 95 00:05:29,520 --> 00:05:31,600 Speaker 1: the first half. He was okay in the first half. 96 00:05:31,640 --> 00:05:33,720 Speaker 1: He watched the game, forget the stats, just watched the game. 97 00:05:34,000 --> 00:05:37,480 Speaker 1: And then the second half. If he was the at 98 00:05:37,480 --> 00:05:40,839 Speaker 1: the movie theater, he would have been what kind of 99 00:05:40,880 --> 00:05:41,880 Speaker 1: snack at the movie theater? 100 00:05:42,040 --> 00:05:43,480 Speaker 4: He would have been a milk. 101 00:05:43,279 --> 00:05:44,880 Speaker 1: Dud, is what he would have been. It was an 102 00:05:44,880 --> 00:05:48,200 Speaker 1: absolute dud. The shine came off Aaron Rodgers in the 103 00:05:48,240 --> 00:05:51,720 Speaker 1: second half there real quick in the steel City. And 104 00:05:51,880 --> 00:05:54,400 Speaker 1: the first half. I wouldn't say he was great. I 105 00:05:54,400 --> 00:05:56,800 Speaker 1: would say he was function functional in the in the 106 00:05:56,839 --> 00:05:58,640 Speaker 1: first half of the game. I thought in the second 107 00:05:58,720 --> 00:06:03,520 Speaker 1: half there was system malfunction from Aaron Rodgers, and. 108 00:06:03,560 --> 00:06:07,640 Speaker 4: It's like someone went in there and unplugged the motive. 109 00:06:08,160 --> 00:06:11,000 Speaker 1: It's like the motem got unplugged and he couldn't get connected, 110 00:06:11,040 --> 00:06:12,000 Speaker 1: he couldn't get online. 111 00:06:12,040 --> 00:06:12,920 Speaker 4: Like everything was kind of. 112 00:06:12,839 --> 00:06:15,480 Speaker 1: Messed up there. It's like, what's up with that? The 113 00:06:15,520 --> 00:06:18,200 Speaker 1: Steelers actually had a nine point lead at halftime. They're 114 00:06:18,240 --> 00:06:21,719 Speaker 1: up sixteen to seven. Not riveting football, but they're up 115 00:06:21,720 --> 00:06:24,039 Speaker 1: by nine points. They got the ball to start the 116 00:06:24,040 --> 00:06:27,760 Speaker 1: third quarter. Every meatthead ex jock that gets a micro oh, 117 00:06:27,760 --> 00:06:29,160 Speaker 1: they have all the moment of oh my god, they 118 00:06:29,160 --> 00:06:31,479 Speaker 1: have all the moment of la la la, shoving up 119 00:06:31,520 --> 00:06:35,440 Speaker 1: your tuckers. They had all the momentum, all them more metium. 120 00:06:35,560 --> 00:06:39,080 Speaker 1: The Pittsburgh Steelers had all of them, all metium. Then 121 00:06:39,080 --> 00:06:41,160 Speaker 1: they had to play the game, and they rode the 122 00:06:41,240 --> 00:06:44,720 Speaker 1: vomit comet in the second half momentum, I ass outscored 123 00:06:44,800 --> 00:06:46,800 Speaker 1: twenty eight to night. It should have been worse than that. 124 00:06:47,000 --> 00:06:48,760 Speaker 1: In fact, in many ways it was worse than that. 125 00:06:48,800 --> 00:06:51,400 Speaker 1: It was really twenty eight to three in the second 126 00:06:51,400 --> 00:06:53,520 Speaker 1: and a half. There was a late touchdown there. But that 127 00:06:53,600 --> 00:06:57,039 Speaker 1: is not just a leak. Okay, that is a full 128 00:06:57,080 --> 00:07:00,880 Speaker 1: on pipe burst in the basement, is what that is 129 00:07:00,880 --> 00:07:02,760 Speaker 1: what happened in the second half of this game. And 130 00:07:02,800 --> 00:07:07,080 Speaker 1: so they got that late touchdown. The garbage time touchdown 131 00:07:07,200 --> 00:07:11,000 Speaker 1: was a little bit of a sprits little sprits that 132 00:07:11,120 --> 00:07:14,200 Speaker 1: was some Tommy Hill figure cologne there right on top 133 00:07:14,240 --> 00:07:17,000 Speaker 1: of a clogged toilet, which was the Steelers in the 134 00:07:17,040 --> 00:07:18,960 Speaker 1: second half, and they just put a little spritz of 135 00:07:18,960 --> 00:07:20,120 Speaker 1: Tommy Hill figure. 136 00:07:20,040 --> 00:07:21,880 Speaker 4: Cologne on there, right on top of the. 137 00:07:21,840 --> 00:07:24,760 Speaker 1: Toilet was clogged up Rogers in the second half. If 138 00:07:24,800 --> 00:07:28,840 Speaker 1: you take away the charity score game Packers were playing 139 00:07:28,840 --> 00:07:31,960 Speaker 1: them would just prevent type defense situation. They had a 140 00:07:32,000 --> 00:07:35,240 Speaker 1: two score lead, two scores and two two point conversions, 141 00:07:35,720 --> 00:07:39,040 Speaker 1: and so then Pittsburgh goes down the field, they drive 142 00:07:39,120 --> 00:07:40,960 Speaker 1: down with Rogers and they score a touchdown with a 143 00:07:40,960 --> 00:07:41,560 Speaker 1: couple of minutes to. 144 00:07:41,560 --> 00:07:41,960 Speaker 4: Go in the game. 145 00:07:42,040 --> 00:07:44,120 Speaker 1: You take that away because it's really a cheap, garbage 146 00:07:44,120 --> 00:07:47,520 Speaker 1: time score. The rest of the second half, Rogers averaged 147 00:07:47,680 --> 00:07:50,920 Speaker 1: less than five yards per pass in the second half. 148 00:07:50,960 --> 00:07:54,320 Speaker 1: He basically handing it off sideways was the way you 149 00:07:54,320 --> 00:07:57,880 Speaker 1: would describe the Pittsburgh Steelers' offense there. And people will 150 00:07:57,920 --> 00:08:01,760 Speaker 1: point out the overall numbers for Rogers are not terrible, 151 00:08:02,520 --> 00:08:04,680 Speaker 1: and in fact, some would say they're even good if 152 00:08:04,680 --> 00:08:07,800 Speaker 1: you just go by the pure stats. Aaron Rodgers overall 153 00:08:07,920 --> 00:08:11,440 Speaker 1: passer rating even after this game on Sunday Night, where 154 00:08:11,440 --> 00:08:14,400 Speaker 1: he was not very good in the second half, Rogers 155 00:08:14,440 --> 00:08:17,440 Speaker 1: still has a higher passer rating at this point. We're 156 00:08:17,480 --> 00:08:21,520 Speaker 1: at week eight of the season now the Packers and 157 00:08:21,760 --> 00:08:24,480 Speaker 1: Steelers next time they play will be week nine. So 158 00:08:24,840 --> 00:08:27,440 Speaker 1: Josh Allen and Patrick Mahomes do not have as good 159 00:08:27,440 --> 00:08:29,560 Speaker 1: a quarterback rating as Aaron Rodgers. 160 00:08:29,600 --> 00:08:32,120 Speaker 4: If I had said in the offseason, if I said 161 00:08:32,160 --> 00:08:32,400 Speaker 4: back in. 162 00:08:32,440 --> 00:08:35,120 Speaker 1: July, all right, whenever Rogers signed, maybe be like August, 163 00:08:35,160 --> 00:08:37,720 Speaker 1: whenever you finally sign. So we're gonna be sitting on 164 00:08:37,760 --> 00:08:43,000 Speaker 1: the NFL schedule week nine, going in to. 165 00:08:43,120 --> 00:08:44,280 Speaker 4: Pass the midway point. 166 00:08:44,480 --> 00:08:46,840 Speaker 1: It's seventeen games, so eight and a half weeks is 167 00:08:46,840 --> 00:08:50,000 Speaker 1: the midway point of the NFL season. So we're gonna 168 00:08:50,000 --> 00:08:51,640 Speaker 1: go in there and Rogers is going to have a 169 00:08:51,720 --> 00:08:56,080 Speaker 1: higher passer rating than Mahomes and Josh Allen. He said, okay, 170 00:08:56,480 --> 00:08:58,800 Speaker 1: all right, we got something here, all right to Steelers 171 00:08:58,840 --> 00:09:03,360 Speaker 1: are going to be great watch out and yeah, and 172 00:09:03,400 --> 00:09:05,760 Speaker 1: this is again for those people that dry hump stats. 173 00:09:05,800 --> 00:09:08,160 Speaker 4: And stats tell you what has happened, not what's going 174 00:09:08,200 --> 00:09:09,000 Speaker 4: to happen, but. 175 00:09:08,920 --> 00:09:15,920 Speaker 1: They also they also tell you a cloudy version of 176 00:09:16,000 --> 00:09:19,480 Speaker 1: events that took place, a foggy version of events that 177 00:09:19,480 --> 00:09:22,240 Speaker 1: took place. For example, it's like, would you rather read 178 00:09:23,240 --> 00:09:25,960 Speaker 1: sheet music? Because you love music, you want to read 179 00:09:26,000 --> 00:09:28,760 Speaker 1: the sheet music rather than hear the song. I would 180 00:09:28,880 --> 00:09:32,319 Speaker 1: rather hear the song. The stats are the sheet music, right, 181 00:09:32,360 --> 00:09:36,240 Speaker 1: that's the musical notes on there. But you really would 182 00:09:36,360 --> 00:09:38,440 Speaker 1: rather hear the song rather than just read it. You 183 00:09:38,480 --> 00:09:41,199 Speaker 1: get the whole vibe and all that you watch the game. 184 00:09:41,679 --> 00:09:45,760 Speaker 1: The mood, Oh, it's all about the mood. The mood 185 00:09:45,880 --> 00:09:49,880 Speaker 1: changed after afterime Rogers flat lined and the Packers' offense 186 00:09:50,400 --> 00:09:52,880 Speaker 1: or Packer's offense did whatever they wanted while Rogers on 187 00:09:52,880 --> 00:09:55,120 Speaker 1: the other side with the Steelers forget about it now. 188 00:09:55,280 --> 00:09:58,720 Speaker 1: Speaking of that, turning the page here, Jordan Love became 189 00:09:58,800 --> 00:10:05,080 Speaker 1: the first Hackers quarterbacks since Brett Farvre to complete twenty 190 00:10:05,600 --> 00:10:09,000 Speaker 1: straight passes in a game. Farv did it way back 191 00:10:09,000 --> 00:10:10,839 Speaker 1: in seven. I was barely alive then. 192 00:10:11,720 --> 00:10:13,640 Speaker 4: I was like a kid. I remember Rogers having a 193 00:10:13,640 --> 00:10:14,280 Speaker 4: big game, but I. 194 00:10:14,200 --> 00:10:18,679 Speaker 1: Was a child, So twenty oh seven for that performance there. 195 00:10:18,920 --> 00:10:20,880 Speaker 1: That was his final season in Green Bay, where he 196 00:10:21,720 --> 00:10:27,520 Speaker 1: was having problems with Aaron Rodgers and so far then left, 197 00:10:27,600 --> 00:10:29,760 Speaker 1: went to the Jets and then the vikings and all that, 198 00:10:29,920 --> 00:10:32,800 Speaker 1: and so so be it. But the question is not 199 00:10:32,840 --> 00:10:37,240 Speaker 1: so much about Jordan Love. It's the other side. What 200 00:10:37,520 --> 00:10:42,240 Speaker 1: on God's green earth was that by Mike Tomlins Pittsburgh 201 00:10:42,280 --> 00:10:46,440 Speaker 1: Steelers defense. What happened to making adjustments? What happened to 202 00:10:46,920 --> 00:10:50,199 Speaker 1: improving as the season goes on? Now, we saw the 203 00:10:50,240 --> 00:10:53,280 Speaker 1: Pittsburgh Steelers get sliced up by Joe Flacco. So you 204 00:10:54,240 --> 00:10:56,600 Speaker 1: took the position that they were going to make that 205 00:10:56,679 --> 00:10:58,560 Speaker 1: a point of emphasis, and they were going to cut 206 00:10:58,600 --> 00:11:00,720 Speaker 1: down on their mistakes there and clean stuff up. They 207 00:11:00,760 --> 00:11:03,439 Speaker 1: had a mini bye week, they being the Pittsburgh Steelers. 208 00:11:03,600 --> 00:11:08,480 Speaker 1: How did that go? The adjustments were nonexistent, they were 209 00:11:08,559 --> 00:11:13,240 Speaker 1: non existent. The Steelers defense just stood there like they 210 00:11:13,280 --> 00:11:17,520 Speaker 1: were watching a matt Na at the Cinerama Dome. They 211 00:11:17,520 --> 00:11:19,160 Speaker 1: were just enjoying buttered popcorn. 212 00:11:19,200 --> 00:11:20,079 Speaker 4: Whatever. What was that? 213 00:11:20,840 --> 00:11:28,439 Speaker 1: Horrific? Unacceptable, absolutely unaccepted. Here's Mike Tomlin commenting on one 214 00:11:28,480 --> 00:11:32,480 Speaker 1: of the most pathetic defensive performances you'll see in the 215 00:11:32,600 --> 00:11:35,400 Speaker 1: Black and Yellow, Black and Yellow, Black and Yellow Tail is. 216 00:11:35,760 --> 00:11:38,280 Speaker 6: You know, we all have to own it. Certainly you 217 00:11:38,320 --> 00:11:40,840 Speaker 6: start with the schematics, man, because you know that's the 218 00:11:40,920 --> 00:11:43,560 Speaker 6: leadership component of it, and certainly we'll be looking at 219 00:11:43,600 --> 00:11:46,120 Speaker 6: everything that we're doing, man, because some of these problems 220 00:11:46,120 --> 00:11:49,480 Speaker 6: are somewhat repetitive and we're not getting better fast enough. Mike, 221 00:11:49,920 --> 00:11:51,760 Speaker 6: I'm not gonna talk too much tonight. We'll take a 222 00:11:51,760 --> 00:11:55,199 Speaker 6: look at it. As I mentioned, they made some significant 223 00:11:55,200 --> 00:11:58,960 Speaker 6: plays on possession down ball and you know, you got 224 00:11:58,960 --> 00:12:00,320 Speaker 6: to get off on third down. 225 00:12:01,240 --> 00:12:03,880 Speaker 1: Okay, got it so very important to get off according 226 00:12:03,880 --> 00:12:06,120 Speaker 1: to Mike Tom It's all right. So anyway, it's like 227 00:12:06,160 --> 00:12:08,559 Speaker 1: they went to the cinerama doom as I said, they 228 00:12:08,600 --> 00:12:12,600 Speaker 1: had the buttered pop going there and oh my god. 229 00:12:13,240 --> 00:12:15,320 Speaker 1: Now maybe it was just my TV. Sometimes my TV 230 00:12:15,440 --> 00:12:17,880 Speaker 1: sees things that other TVs don't see. I have no idea, 231 00:12:17,880 --> 00:12:20,280 Speaker 1: but I saw these Steelers playing. I call it the 232 00:12:20,320 --> 00:12:24,800 Speaker 1: cover m defense, as in the cover Matador. 233 00:12:24,920 --> 00:12:27,360 Speaker 4: Alright, alright, alright, oay, yeah. 234 00:12:27,679 --> 00:12:31,200 Speaker 1: If you want miss tackles, check the Steelers are really 235 00:12:31,240 --> 00:12:35,320 Speaker 1: good at miss tackles, really good. If you want arm tackles, 236 00:12:35,320 --> 00:12:37,520 Speaker 1: they got those two. A lot of arm tackles, a 237 00:12:37,520 --> 00:12:40,840 Speaker 1: lot of arm tackles. You want poor pursuit ankle angles 238 00:12:40,840 --> 00:12:42,800 Speaker 1: where they come at the wrong direction. You know how 239 00:12:42,800 --> 00:12:44,320 Speaker 1: you're supposed to cut down the path. 240 00:12:44,600 --> 00:12:47,240 Speaker 4: They don't do that. Never never see that. 241 00:12:48,400 --> 00:12:52,720 Speaker 1: It's essentially a video on how not to play defense 242 00:12:52,760 --> 00:12:53,480 Speaker 1: in the NFL. 243 00:12:53,760 --> 00:12:56,319 Speaker 4: What the Steelers are doing on a weekly basis. 244 00:12:56,440 --> 00:12:59,160 Speaker 1: There's a lot of people on defense in the secondary 245 00:12:59,200 --> 00:13:02,800 Speaker 1: in particular, that are making business decisions, if you know 246 00:13:02,840 --> 00:13:06,839 Speaker 1: what I'm saying here. And he allowed the Packers tied end. 247 00:13:07,400 --> 00:13:12,560 Speaker 1: Who's a good player, Tucker Craft, who is not that 248 00:13:12,720 --> 00:13:17,080 Speaker 1: good a player? My god, Tucker Craft. He went yakty 249 00:13:17,200 --> 00:13:20,640 Speaker 1: yack yards after the catch. There no pushback. And what 250 00:13:21,120 --> 00:13:24,240 Speaker 1: I've noticed, and the kicker on this, is that they're 251 00:13:24,280 --> 00:13:28,559 Speaker 1: the most expensive defense, they being the Pittsburgh Seris and 252 00:13:28,600 --> 00:13:30,840 Speaker 1: the entire NFL. They spend more money on defense than 253 00:13:30,840 --> 00:13:34,440 Speaker 1: anyone else. They're giving up now thirty plus points most games. 254 00:13:34,480 --> 00:13:38,440 Speaker 1: They played seven games, four of the seven they've allowed 255 00:13:38,480 --> 00:13:42,480 Speaker 1: thirty or more points per game. That's the Pittsburgh. 256 00:13:42,040 --> 00:13:43,679 Speaker 4: Steelers at this particular point. 257 00:13:43,760 --> 00:13:47,280 Speaker 1: And the one game where they looked okay against Drake 258 00:13:47,400 --> 00:13:50,400 Speaker 1: May and the Patriots, that was more of a byproduct 259 00:13:50,440 --> 00:13:52,760 Speaker 1: because the Patriots, I think they had five turnovers in 260 00:13:52,760 --> 00:13:57,160 Speaker 1: that game. That was the Ramando Stevenson fumble fumble game. There, 261 00:13:57,160 --> 00:14:00,320 Speaker 1: but it's not bad luck. It's like I look at 262 00:14:00,320 --> 00:14:02,360 Speaker 1: the series we've seen them now in Island games, the 263 00:14:02,440 --> 00:14:05,880 Speaker 1: last couple of games against the Bengals and against the 264 00:14:06,000 --> 00:14:09,440 Speaker 1: Green Bay Packers, and it's just systemic. 265 00:14:09,040 --> 00:14:13,240 Speaker 4: Rot is what it is. I mean, they're just they're 266 00:14:13,360 --> 00:14:15,559 Speaker 4: not anywhere close to being good. 267 00:14:15,640 --> 00:14:18,079 Speaker 1: Now. I get I made the mistake was handicapping the games. 268 00:14:18,400 --> 00:14:21,520 Speaker 1: Mike Tom's gonna go in there, going to the workshop 269 00:14:22,400 --> 00:14:25,360 Speaker 1: and figure some things out. It doesn't look like they 270 00:14:25,360 --> 00:14:31,160 Speaker 1: figured anything out at all. And so listen, listen, they're 271 00:14:31,160 --> 00:14:33,960 Speaker 1: gonna end up winning nine or ten games. They're over 272 00:14:34,080 --> 00:14:36,240 Speaker 1: five hundred. As bad as the defense is, they're still 273 00:14:36,280 --> 00:14:39,840 Speaker 1: over five hundred. They're a fake contender. They're in the 274 00:14:39,840 --> 00:14:42,600 Speaker 1: fake contender zone. The Pittsburgh Steels at this point, just 275 00:14:42,760 --> 00:14:47,960 Speaker 1: enough there to kind of trick people into thinking may 276 00:14:48,080 --> 00:14:50,400 Speaker 1: matter and that anybody. 277 00:14:49,920 --> 00:14:50,400 Speaker 4: Can win it. 278 00:14:50,400 --> 00:14:54,960 Speaker 1: It's wide open in the AFC here and nobody is 279 00:14:55,000 --> 00:14:57,640 Speaker 1: scared of that defense. But the thing about it too, though, 280 00:14:57,680 --> 00:15:02,680 Speaker 1: is you see the guys and it's it's eyewash in 281 00:15:02,760 --> 00:15:03,520 Speaker 1: the secondary. 282 00:15:03,600 --> 00:15:04,560 Speaker 4: That's the term here. 283 00:15:04,600 --> 00:15:10,440 Speaker 1: It's the fake hustle where they're kind of around the ball. 284 00:15:10,480 --> 00:15:13,200 Speaker 1: But it looks like they're not. Just based on the 285 00:15:13,240 --> 00:15:17,480 Speaker 1: eyeball test, it looks like they're not hustling. It's eye washes. Hustles, 286 00:15:17,520 --> 00:15:21,880 Speaker 1: stunt double, that's what eye washes, right, It's guys flying 287 00:15:21,960 --> 00:15:24,440 Speaker 1: around just enough to get on cameras. So it looks 288 00:15:24,480 --> 00:15:27,320 Speaker 1: like for the low information fan that they're in position 289 00:15:28,240 --> 00:15:31,280 Speaker 1: and looks like they cared and looks like they're trying, 290 00:15:32,440 --> 00:15:38,160 Speaker 1: and yet they're not. This is just ridiculous. So that's 291 00:15:38,200 --> 00:15:38,800 Speaker 1: where we are on that. 292 00:15:38,960 --> 00:15:41,240 Speaker 2: Be sure to catch live editions of The Ben Meller 293 00:15:41,320 --> 00:15:44,840 Speaker 2: Show weekdays at two am Eastern eleven pm Pacific on 294 00:15:44,960 --> 00:15:47,880 Speaker 2: Fox Sports Radio and the iHeartRadio app. 295 00:15:48,240 --> 00:15:51,280 Speaker 4: Hey is Capino and Rich from Fox Sports Radio Now. 296 00:15:51,320 --> 00:15:53,720 Speaker 1: In addition to hearing us live weekdays from five to 297 00:15:53,760 --> 00:15:57,000 Speaker 1: seven pm Eastern two to fourth Pacific on Fox Sports Radio, 298 00:15:57,200 --> 00:16:00,560 Speaker 1: we're excited to announce a brand new YouTube channel for 299 00:16:00,600 --> 00:16:00,920 Speaker 1: the show. 300 00:16:01,040 --> 00:16:01,880 Speaker 4: Yep, that's right. 301 00:16:01,960 --> 00:16:04,560 Speaker 1: You can now watch Covino and Rich live on YouTube 302 00:16:04,640 --> 00:16:07,520 Speaker 1: every day.

So 307 00:16:18,520 --> 00:16:21,440 Speaker 1: we were giving a curveball the plan. The show was 308 00:16:21,480 --> 00:16:24,360 Speaker 1: put to bed and we had the baby woke up. 309 00:16:24,400 --> 00:16:26,000 Speaker 1: The baby was put to bed, the baby woke up. 310 00:16:26,040 --> 00:16:28,720 Speaker 1: So the Dodgers are still playing. We have live baseball, 311 00:16:29,080 --> 00:16:32,080 Speaker 1: which is great because all these people are bitching and complaining. 312 00:16:32,360 --> 00:16:35,040 Speaker 7: I don't understand these games are going so long. I 313 00:16:35,120 --> 00:16:38,680 Speaker 7: don't come my God, shut up. Welcome to my world, 314 00:16:38,720 --> 00:16:42,240 Speaker 7: you losers, Welcome to my world. So the Dodgers and 315 00:16:42,280 --> 00:16:45,080 Speaker 7: Blue Jays are tied at five. They've gone now that 316 00:16:45,320 --> 00:16:45,520 Speaker 7: I know. 317 00:16:45,640 --> 00:16:46,240 Speaker 4: Is that cheating. 318 00:16:46,280 --> 00:16:50,320 Speaker 1: They pulled out the the sliced watermelon and pineapple. 319 00:16:50,520 --> 00:16:52,040 Speaker 4: It looked like to me pineapple. 320 00:16:52,080 --> 00:16:55,280 Speaker 1: They're the Dodgers eating snacks in the dugout and they 321 00:16:55,280 --> 00:16:58,160 Speaker 1: are now going to the bottom of the sixteenth inning 322 00:16:58,880 --> 00:17:01,720 Speaker 1: at tra Vesarino. I want this game to end either 323 00:17:01,760 --> 00:17:03,840 Speaker 1: in the bottom of the sixteenth or the seventeenth, because 324 00:17:03,840 --> 00:17:05,760 Speaker 1: I was at the game to win eighteen innings, so 325 00:17:05,800 --> 00:17:08,880 Speaker 1: I don't want to see this game, this World Series game, 326 00:17:08,920 --> 00:17:12,240 Speaker 1: go more than eighteen because that would then cheapen the 327 00:17:12,320 --> 00:17:15,639 Speaker 1: game that I was at Red Sox and Dwyers in 328 00:17:15,680 --> 00:17:17,639 Speaker 1: the World Series years ago. When Max Muntsey hit the 329 00:17:17,640 --> 00:17:20,719 Speaker 1: home run. The game ended one in the morning, right 330 00:17:20,760 --> 00:17:22,399 Speaker 1: around one in the morning. It was after midnight. I 331 00:17:22,400 --> 00:17:24,840 Speaker 1: remember that it was after midnight. So anyway, that is 332 00:17:24,880 --> 00:17:27,280 Speaker 1: what's going on right now. So we will we will 333 00:17:27,720 --> 00:17:30,320 Speaker 1: watch that, but we will be talking about something other 334 00:17:30,400 --> 00:17:32,560 Speaker 1: than that right now, because there is more to discuss 335 00:17:33,359 --> 00:17:36,119 Speaker 1: and more to break down, and so our lead story 336 00:17:36,160 --> 00:17:41,840 Speaker 1: this hour from Arrowheads Stadium in Cannes City. It was 337 00:17:41,960 --> 00:17:45,120 Speaker 1: KC and the Sunshine Band, and that is the lead 338 00:17:45,200 --> 00:17:49,840 Speaker 1: the stage for the final game of Week number eight. 339 00:17:50,119 --> 00:17:53,760 Speaker 1: Week number eight of the NFL eight one of the 340 00:17:53,880 --> 00:17:57,280 Speaker 1: absolute worst. By the way, the product could not have 341 00:17:57,359 --> 00:18:00,560 Speaker 1: been less enjoyable if you want competitive games. In fact, 342 00:18:00,960 --> 00:18:06,040 Speaker 1: going back to nineteen seventy, this was, if not the 343 00:18:06,160 --> 00:18:09,359 Speaker 1: largest margin, it was in the top two or three 344 00:18:09,440 --> 00:18:11,199 Speaker 1: all time in the history of the NFL. I know 345 00:18:11,280 --> 00:18:15,400 Speaker 1: going into the Monday night game. It was in the discussion. 346 00:18:15,480 --> 00:18:18,600 Speaker 1: It depends on how you spin the stats. How bad 347 00:18:18,680 --> 00:18:22,359 Speaker 1: this was, but a weekend of blowouts wrapped up with 348 00:18:22,600 --> 00:18:28,120 Speaker 1: backup quarterback as Marcus Mariota leading the hobbled Commanders into 349 00:18:28,200 --> 00:18:30,520 Speaker 1: Kansas City that played eight there with Patrick Mahomes and 350 00:18:30,560 --> 00:18:34,159 Speaker 1: the Chiefs, you had Joe Buck and Troy Aikman on 351 00:18:34,240 --> 00:18:34,639 Speaker 1: the call. 352 00:18:34,680 --> 00:18:38,560 Speaker 4: There were you watching? Did you watch? Were you engaged 353 00:18:38,600 --> 00:18:39,840 Speaker 4: in this? You were not? Okay. 354 00:18:40,560 --> 00:18:44,680 Speaker 1: So Patrick Mahomes, by his standard, struggled early in the game. 355 00:18:44,760 --> 00:18:48,120 Speaker 1: The first half was a bit of a dud all 356 00:18:48,160 --> 00:18:50,200 Speaker 1: the way around, a lot of turnovers, a lot of bad, 357 00:18:50,240 --> 00:18:53,040 Speaker 1: sloppy football. And then by the time the game ended, 358 00:18:53,680 --> 00:18:56,600 Speaker 1: Mahomes we love round numbers. He was one yard away 359 00:18:56,720 --> 00:18:59,200 Speaker 1: from a nice, sexy three hundred yards passing at two 360 00:18:59,240 --> 00:19:02,919 Speaker 1: undred ninety nine yards, ended up with three touchdowns. Kareem 361 00:19:03,000 --> 00:19:07,159 Speaker 1: Hunt found peterrt hit the end zone twice, and the 362 00:19:07,240 --> 00:19:10,960 Speaker 1: Chiefs defense in the second half it looked like they 363 00:19:11,000 --> 00:19:13,520 Speaker 1: wanted to get out of there. There being Washington as 364 00:19:13,640 --> 00:19:17,680 Speaker 1: Kansas City hog tied the Commanders in the final thirty 365 00:19:17,720 --> 00:19:20,399 Speaker 1: minutes of that football game. So Kansas City pulls away 366 00:19:21,080 --> 00:19:25,520 Speaker 1: and they win by three touchdowns twenty eight to seven. 367 00:19:25,560 --> 00:19:28,040 Speaker 1: I am told that's good. I didn't play in the NFL, 368 00:19:28,040 --> 00:19:31,760 Speaker 1: but I'm told that's good on a nice cold October night, 369 00:19:31,960 --> 00:19:36,719 Speaker 1: just days away from Halloween. Now, the better story is 370 00:19:36,920 --> 00:19:39,600 Speaker 1: in the losing locker room. The better story is in 371 00:19:39,600 --> 00:19:44,520 Speaker 1: the losing locker room, and the Commander fans very upset, 372 00:19:45,200 --> 00:19:49,359 Speaker 1: very upset with dan Quinn, a lot of range, a 373 00:19:49,400 --> 00:19:51,720 Speaker 1: lot of anger with the way the Commanders played in 374 00:19:51,760 --> 00:19:52,680 Speaker 1: the second half. 375 00:19:52,480 --> 00:19:53,160 Speaker 4: Of that game. 376 00:19:53,320 --> 00:19:57,359 Speaker 1: And a lot of the conversation is not even so 377 00:19:57,440 --> 00:20:00,000 Speaker 1: much about how bad the Commanders looked in the second half. 378 00:20:00,480 --> 00:20:06,000 Speaker 1: It's the apathetic appearance of the players on the Washington 379 00:20:06,040 --> 00:20:10,080 Speaker 1: football team who were so happy after they got their 380 00:20:10,160 --> 00:20:13,320 Speaker 1: face smashed in by the Chiefs and people up in 381 00:20:13,480 --> 00:20:16,280 Speaker 1: arms over that, that they were smiling and having a 382 00:20:16,320 --> 00:20:19,199 Speaker 1: grand old time playing grab ass at the end of 383 00:20:19,200 --> 00:20:22,879 Speaker 1: the game there on the sidelines. The postgame handshake was 384 00:20:22,960 --> 00:20:25,800 Speaker 1: like a college party. My god, were they having a 385 00:20:25,800 --> 00:20:28,800 Speaker 1: good time? People upset with that, And so that's a 386 00:20:28,800 --> 00:20:31,720 Speaker 1: good jumping off point. Let us discuss the question does 387 00:20:31,960 --> 00:20:37,000 Speaker 1: dan Quinn deserve the heat that he's getting in the 388 00:20:37,040 --> 00:20:42,760 Speaker 1: cyber Warfare department for the Commander's performance? Does he deserve 389 00:20:42,840 --> 00:20:45,520 Speaker 1: some heat for that? Now, my observation on this, I've 390 00:20:45,520 --> 00:20:51,840 Speaker 1: got Brad pitt Child's play and Circus Circus, and we 391 00:20:51,880 --> 00:20:54,760 Speaker 1: will combine all of these things together and we are 392 00:20:54,800 --> 00:20:57,280 Speaker 1: going to get an end to Game three of the 393 00:20:57,320 --> 00:20:59,200 Speaker 1: World Series that's going to have We're gonna end game 394 00:20:59,240 --> 00:21:00,000 Speaker 1: three of the World Series. 395 00:21:00,119 --> 00:21:04,680 Speaker 4: But number. 396 00:21:08,440 --> 00:21:11,320 Speaker 1: To answer the question, does dan Quinn deserve the crap 397 00:21:11,400 --> 00:21:14,800 Speaker 1: that he's getting. I'm nodding my head, yes, I'm nodding 398 00:21:14,800 --> 00:21:15,120 Speaker 1: my head. 399 00:21:15,160 --> 00:21:15,400 Speaker 4: Yes. 400 00:21:15,440 --> 00:21:18,600 Speaker 1: On that. Now, dan Quinn's Commanders, I'm old enough to 401 00:21:18,680 --> 00:21:22,080 Speaker 1: remember that they were in the final four of the 402 00:21:22,200 --> 00:21:25,000 Speaker 1: National Football League at the end of last season, and 403 00:21:25,040 --> 00:21:27,720 Speaker 1: here they are out there, smiling like they were to 404 00:21:27,840 --> 00:21:31,359 Speaker 1: charity golf outing somewhere in Maryland, just having a grand 405 00:21:31,400 --> 00:21:35,320 Speaker 1: old time. They were out playing golf with some politicians and. 406 00:21:35,280 --> 00:21:39,120 Speaker 4: Just let me have some lemonade? Is that spiked lemonade? 407 00:21:39,840 --> 00:21:41,840 Speaker 1: They didn't act like they just got pants in the 408 00:21:41,880 --> 00:21:44,480 Speaker 1: second half by Kansas City, which is what happened on 409 00:21:44,560 --> 00:21:46,960 Speaker 1: National TV, by the way, in an Island game, although 410 00:21:46,960 --> 00:21:49,520 Speaker 1: not a full Island game, because I was flipping back 411 00:21:49,520 --> 00:21:52,119 Speaker 1: and my right hand was getting a workout. If I 412 00:21:52,119 --> 00:21:54,560 Speaker 1: had only known the Dodgers and Blue Jays would play 413 00:21:54,560 --> 00:21:56,720 Speaker 1: all night, I wouldn't even bother to watch the first 414 00:21:56,720 --> 00:21:58,560 Speaker 1: part of the game. I just would have focused on 415 00:21:58,560 --> 00:22:00,480 Speaker 1: the football game. But I was going back and forth. 416 00:22:00,760 --> 00:22:01,239 Speaker 4: And all that. 417 00:22:01,359 --> 00:22:04,479 Speaker 1: So the Commanders end up on the wrong side, and 418 00:22:04,520 --> 00:22:09,080 Speaker 1: then all the shenanigans after the game there as Washington 419 00:22:09,200 --> 00:22:12,560 Speaker 1: did catch lightning in a bottle, and I caught lightning 420 00:22:12,560 --> 00:22:14,840 Speaker 1: at a bottle last year. That was supposed to be 421 00:22:14,920 --> 00:22:17,960 Speaker 1: the foundation. That's what I was told. The smart people said, 422 00:22:18,280 --> 00:22:19,600 Speaker 1: this is the foundation. 423 00:22:20,440 --> 00:22:20,879 Speaker 4: This is it. 424 00:22:21,000 --> 00:22:25,560 Speaker 1: The NFL's final four NFC Championship game in Philadelphia, win 425 00:22:25,640 --> 00:22:28,080 Speaker 1: away from getting the Super Bowl, and. 426 00:22:28,119 --> 00:22:29,000 Speaker 4: Right there, one win. 427 00:22:29,600 --> 00:22:32,560 Speaker 1: Now, let's see some inventory on where the Commanders are. 428 00:22:32,560 --> 00:22:35,760 Speaker 1: We're at a checkpoint week eight. Now, I realized they 429 00:22:35,760 --> 00:22:38,359 Speaker 1: play seventeen games, so it's not quite the halfway point, 430 00:22:38,640 --> 00:22:42,040 Speaker 1: but nonetheless, for talk radio purposes, we will examine this 431 00:22:42,840 --> 00:22:46,840 Speaker 1: as the middling point of the NFL season. So where 432 00:22:46,920 --> 00:22:52,000 Speaker 1: is Washington one year after they were right on the 433 00:22:52,080 --> 00:22:54,720 Speaker 1: cusp of the top of the NFL. So they have 434 00:22:54,840 --> 00:22:57,720 Speaker 1: been come tumbling down, down, down, down, down, down. 435 00:22:57,600 --> 00:22:58,880 Speaker 4: Down, down, down, down down. 436 00:22:58,920 --> 00:23:00,879 Speaker 1: That's where they are right now. And so they have 437 00:23:00,960 --> 00:23:04,560 Speaker 1: gone from punching above their weight, which is what they 438 00:23:04,560 --> 00:23:07,199 Speaker 1: did last year. Now they have gone down to the 439 00:23:07,240 --> 00:23:11,040 Speaker 1: corner bakery and they've ordered a pie, not an apple, 440 00:23:11,400 --> 00:23:14,480 Speaker 1: not a pumpkin, not the banana cream pie. They've gone 441 00:23:14,480 --> 00:23:17,119 Speaker 1: to the corner bakery and the Commanders have ordered a 442 00:23:17,480 --> 00:23:20,400 Speaker 1: big humble pie, and they're cutting up the humble pie 443 00:23:20,520 --> 00:23:22,439 Speaker 1: right now. Although they don't seem to be that worried 444 00:23:22,760 --> 00:23:25,760 Speaker 1: based on their postgame celebration. You want to give at 445 00:23:25,840 --> 00:23:30,440 Speaker 1: least the deception that you actually care. So Defensively, the 446 00:23:30,480 --> 00:23:33,360 Speaker 1: Commanders currently are ranked twenty seventh in the NFL. I'm 447 00:23:33,359 --> 00:23:36,879 Speaker 1: told that's not good the offense. How about the office 448 00:23:37,440 --> 00:23:38,720 Speaker 1: the Commander's offense? 449 00:23:38,800 --> 00:23:42,680 Speaker 4: Here? Okay, this group, I know Jadon Daniels has been hurt. 450 00:23:42,720 --> 00:23:43,360 Speaker 4: Middle of the pack. 451 00:23:43,440 --> 00:23:46,520 Speaker 1: There's sixteenth in the NFL. Now I recall, and maybe 452 00:23:46,560 --> 00:23:48,200 Speaker 1: I'm wrong on this. You can touch up my work 453 00:23:48,240 --> 00:23:54,000 Speaker 1: if you want. Cliff Kingsbury was the second coming of 454 00:23:54,040 --> 00:23:58,200 Speaker 1: the Messiah as the offensive genius for the Washington Commanders. 455 00:23:58,480 --> 00:24:05,240 Speaker 1: It is amazing. How'd that go? Well, don't ask this year. Now, 456 00:24:05,280 --> 00:24:07,479 Speaker 1: here's the thing about the Commanders watching this team plan. 457 00:24:07,640 --> 00:24:10,560 Speaker 1: I saw him in person a few weeks back against 458 00:24:10,600 --> 00:24:14,280 Speaker 1: the Chargers, and they actually played well in that game. 459 00:24:14,280 --> 00:24:17,480 Speaker 1: But the thing I look at Washington is they're not 460 00:24:18,240 --> 00:24:21,160 Speaker 1: bad enough the Commanders to be a lovable train wreck. 461 00:24:22,040 --> 00:24:25,600 Speaker 1: So they're not at that point, and they're not good 462 00:24:25,680 --> 00:24:28,040 Speaker 1: enough to really matter. They're just kind of stuck in 463 00:24:28,119 --> 00:24:32,280 Speaker 1: the Bermuda Triangle of the NFL. They're stuck in football 464 00:24:32,359 --> 00:24:36,920 Speaker 1: purgatory at this point. And as far as the I 465 00:24:36,960 --> 00:24:38,600 Speaker 1: guess we'll call it, what is the heel? A monster 466 00:24:38,640 --> 00:24:41,240 Speaker 1: in the room here? Postgame? It was like a country club. 467 00:24:41,240 --> 00:24:44,400 Speaker 1: But is it always like I don't like understand the rage. 468 00:24:44,440 --> 00:24:48,320 Speaker 1: It's always like that at NFL games. They love other 469 00:24:48,440 --> 00:24:51,520 Speaker 1: NFL players and they cannot wait to hug it out. 470 00:24:51,520 --> 00:24:54,040 Speaker 1: It's warm and fuzzy at the end of every NFL game, 471 00:24:54,800 --> 00:24:58,359 Speaker 1: with few exceptions, with few exceptions. Now there are exceptions, 472 00:24:58,400 --> 00:25:03,240 Speaker 1: but you'd think think that the Washington football team was 473 00:25:03,280 --> 00:25:08,720 Speaker 1: hosting a nice brunch with sliced meats and sliced cheeses 474 00:25:09,200 --> 00:25:12,800 Speaker 1: and they hadn't just gotten their teeth kicked in in 475 00:25:12,880 --> 00:25:16,480 Speaker 1: the second half by the team from Kansas City. But 476 00:25:16,520 --> 00:25:19,399 Speaker 1: if you're dan Quinn, okay, if you're dan Quinn, to me, 477 00:25:19,520 --> 00:25:22,080 Speaker 1: that's on you. He's supposed to be a happy, go 478 00:25:22,160 --> 00:25:24,960 Speaker 1: lucky coach and all that. That's fine, but at least 479 00:25:24,960 --> 00:25:27,960 Speaker 1: give the illusion that you were slightly bobbed. 480 00:25:28,000 --> 00:25:28,920 Speaker 4: And this is always the issue. 481 00:25:28,960 --> 00:25:34,280 Speaker 1: Right we who invest our time as fans, we get 482 00:25:34,320 --> 00:25:38,280 Speaker 1: emotionally attached the players don't get emotionally attached. It's their gig, 483 00:25:38,320 --> 00:25:40,919 Speaker 1: it's their job. They don't understand why you're so into it. 484 00:25:41,680 --> 00:25:44,439 Speaker 1: Just chill out, man, It's just a game. And so 485 00:25:44,560 --> 00:25:46,719 Speaker 1: we want to go on there and make out at 486 00:25:46,720 --> 00:25:49,760 Speaker 1: the fifty yard line after we just got are ass kicked. 487 00:25:49,800 --> 00:25:52,200 Speaker 1: We're going to do that. We are going to do 488 00:25:52,240 --> 00:25:55,400 Speaker 1: that is what we're going to do. Yes, So, how 489 00:25:55,480 --> 00:25:59,679 Speaker 1: bad was it for the Washington commanders? Was so bad 490 00:26:00,119 --> 00:26:04,040 Speaker 1: that dan Quinn should hire Brad Pitt. Bring Brad Pitty in. 491 00:26:04,040 --> 00:26:07,320 Speaker 1: Remember that famous scene from Moneyball where he was portraying 492 00:26:07,359 --> 00:26:09,920 Speaker 1: Billy Bean and they were in the locker room and 493 00:26:10,280 --> 00:26:12,720 Speaker 1: he said, hey, you think losing is fun? 494 00:26:14,320 --> 00:26:15,679 Speaker 4: You think losing is fun? 495 00:26:15,880 --> 00:26:20,080 Speaker 1: And then the player on the athletics said, well no, okay, 496 00:26:20,119 --> 00:26:23,320 Speaker 1: Well if the answer is no, it's not fun, then 497 00:26:23,359 --> 00:26:27,480 Speaker 1: what the hell are you smiling for. By the way, 498 00:26:27,520 --> 00:26:30,520 Speaker 1: they played thirty minutes of football, they were tied at halftime. 499 00:26:30,640 --> 00:26:33,679 Speaker 1: The Washington football team, I believe at that point they 500 00:26:33,720 --> 00:26:36,359 Speaker 1: started warming up the diesel engines on the buses and 501 00:26:36,400 --> 00:26:38,000 Speaker 1: they wanted to make sure that the water in the 502 00:26:38,040 --> 00:26:41,640 Speaker 1: shower was warm as well. They had just sixty six 503 00:26:41,720 --> 00:26:43,800 Speaker 1: yards of offense in the second half, and if my 504 00:26:43,880 --> 00:26:46,560 Speaker 1: math is correct, I drotted this chicken scratch down four 505 00:26:46,680 --> 00:26:49,679 Speaker 1: first downs in the second half, which I'm told is 506 00:26:49,720 --> 00:26:53,520 Speaker 1: not good. And they were big underdogs, double digit dogs. 507 00:26:53,960 --> 00:26:57,679 Speaker 1: They being Washington going into this game, they were expected 508 00:26:57,720 --> 00:26:59,480 Speaker 1: to lose, they were expected to be. 509 00:26:59,480 --> 00:27:00,119 Speaker 4: Blown out out. 510 00:27:00,520 --> 00:27:05,240 Speaker 1: They actually had the game in position at halftime to 511 00:27:05,280 --> 00:27:08,200 Speaker 1: scratch and claw and make it a fourth quarter game, 512 00:27:08,240 --> 00:27:12,720 Speaker 1: to put the pressure on Kansas City. And instead of 513 00:27:12,960 --> 00:27:13,600 Speaker 1: doing that. 514 00:27:13,840 --> 00:27:15,680 Speaker 4: Well, they did the opposite. 515 00:27:15,720 --> 00:27:18,040 Speaker 1: They just got in the fetal position, started sucking their 516 00:27:18,080 --> 00:27:22,080 Speaker 1: thumb and that was it. Mahomes got going, the defense 517 00:27:22,160 --> 00:27:27,600 Speaker 1: started crushing people, and that was it. Game over. Absolute 518 00:27:27,920 --> 00:27:31,680 Speaker 1: weak sauce, Absolute week sauce. Now on the other side. 519 00:27:31,520 --> 00:27:32,000 Speaker 4: Page two. 520 00:27:33,000 --> 00:27:36,120 Speaker 1: So we go now to the Kansas City side of things, 521 00:27:36,160 --> 00:27:43,920 Speaker 1: where things are buzzing. You can almost hear it. There's 522 00:27:43,960 --> 00:27:50,119 Speaker 1: a buzz in the air. It's almost everywhere. Yes, So question, 523 00:27:50,359 --> 00:27:53,160 Speaker 1: are you gonna go thumbs up or are you gonna 524 00:27:53,160 --> 00:27:56,879 Speaker 1: go thumbs down? Thumbs upper, thumbs down on Andy Reid's 525 00:27:56,960 --> 00:28:03,080 Speaker 1: Chiefs being back in the catbird seat metaphorically in the AFC. 526 00:28:03,960 --> 00:28:08,439 Speaker 1: All right, that is the question. So thumb to the 527 00:28:08,480 --> 00:28:10,800 Speaker 1: moon way up. I'm going to the moon, thumb way 528 00:28:10,880 --> 00:28:13,960 Speaker 1: up to the moon. Now this game, you don't get 529 00:28:13,960 --> 00:28:15,840 Speaker 1: any style points. It was a blowout win. It was 530 00:28:15,840 --> 00:28:17,720 Speaker 1: close at halftime. This was what I would call a 531 00:28:17,800 --> 00:28:21,600 Speaker 1: workman like effort for the Kansas City Chiefs. Here punched 532 00:28:21,600 --> 00:28:23,960 Speaker 1: the clock the old I can't really say lunch pail 533 00:28:24,000 --> 00:28:25,920 Speaker 1: because all these guys are millionaires, but you get the point. 534 00:28:25,920 --> 00:28:27,920 Speaker 4: Back in the old days, we'd say lunch pail type game. 535 00:28:28,280 --> 00:28:32,360 Speaker 1: And all of a sudden, all of a sudden, Patrick 536 00:28:32,480 --> 00:28:36,520 Speaker 1: Mahomes looks like the vintage Patrick Mahomes. 537 00:28:36,960 --> 00:28:38,840 Speaker 4: Yet again he does. 538 00:28:38,920 --> 00:28:41,120 Speaker 1: He's got his toys back at wide receiver, He's got 539 00:28:41,160 --> 00:28:44,640 Speaker 1: his playmakers back. I know Keg drinking. Steve's excited about that. 540 00:28:44,760 --> 00:28:47,960 Speaker 1: And so Mahomes is cooking with a flamethrower at this point. 541 00:28:48,160 --> 00:28:51,520 Speaker 1: So it turns out the reports of Mahomes and the 542 00:28:51,640 --> 00:28:57,480 Speaker 1: Chiefs demise, well, they were cute while they lasted greatly exaggerated. 543 00:28:57,960 --> 00:29:01,720 Speaker 1: Mahomes looked in the second half like he was taking 544 00:29:01,800 --> 00:29:05,560 Speaker 1: batting practice at five point thirty and hitting those batting 545 00:29:05,560 --> 00:29:09,760 Speaker 1: practice fastballs out of the park. Washington had nothing in 546 00:29:09,800 --> 00:29:13,200 Speaker 1: the second half. Now, some of that was Mahomes. Some 547 00:29:13,280 --> 00:29:15,800 Speaker 1: of that was Mahomes and what he was doing with 548 00:29:15,880 --> 00:29:17,880 Speaker 1: Kansas City. They got off to the zero to two start. 549 00:29:18,320 --> 00:29:21,280 Speaker 1: They are now five and one, and the one loss 550 00:29:21,360 --> 00:29:24,720 Speaker 1: in there was the play that they quit against Jacksonville. 551 00:29:24,720 --> 00:29:28,680 Speaker 1: Remember the defense quit. They were caught on camera lollygagging, 552 00:29:28,720 --> 00:29:32,239 Speaker 1: allowing Trevor Lawrence to fall down twice and get up 553 00:29:32,240 --> 00:29:33,000 Speaker 1: and score a touchdown. 554 00:29:33,040 --> 00:29:33,680 Speaker 4: So that's on them. 555 00:29:33,880 --> 00:29:36,040 Speaker 1: So you could make the argument there's a dimension in 556 00:29:36,080 --> 00:29:39,400 Speaker 1: the multiverse where they are six and oho and they're 557 00:29:39,480 --> 00:29:43,760 Speaker 1: lurking in the playoff picture like Michael Myers behind the 558 00:29:43,760 --> 00:29:48,440 Speaker 1: curtain there. Now nobody think about this, Nobody in the AFC. 559 00:29:49,680 --> 00:29:50,160 Speaker 4: Nobody in the. 560 00:29:50,160 --> 00:29:52,840 Speaker 1: AFC, he said, well, Indianapolis a little bit, but nobody 561 00:29:52,880 --> 00:29:56,840 Speaker 1: in the AFC West has been able to capitalize on 562 00:29:56,920 --> 00:30:00,000 Speaker 1: that early facepoint. The Chargers won all these divisional games earlier. 563 00:30:00,080 --> 00:30:01,840 Speaker 1: All right, there you go, this is the Chargers year. 564 00:30:01,880 --> 00:30:05,200 Speaker 1: Everything's great. They're set up. Boom boom boom, division win, 565 00:30:05,280 --> 00:30:07,880 Speaker 1: division win, division win, They're ready to go. And now 566 00:30:07,920 --> 00:30:10,440 Speaker 1: we look like we look at it right now and yeah, 567 00:30:10,520 --> 00:30:16,240 Speaker 1: face plan. So the division led by the Chargers early 568 00:30:17,440 --> 00:30:19,520 Speaker 1: and they had a shot to bury Kansas City. 569 00:30:19,560 --> 00:30:20,200 Speaker 4: They didn't do it. 570 00:30:20,240 --> 00:30:22,720 Speaker 1: We all know that. Nobody in the AFC West took 571 00:30:22,720 --> 00:30:25,120 Speaker 1: advantage of it. As we said, so the division is 572 00:30:25,160 --> 00:30:28,240 Speaker 1: still up for grabs at this point. And now Kansas City. 573 00:30:28,360 --> 00:30:32,560 Speaker 1: As of right now, the Chiefs are back in the 574 00:30:32,600 --> 00:30:36,840 Speaker 1: playoff picture. They are the last team in the wild 575 00:30:36,920 --> 00:30:40,440 Speaker 1: card around. They're the last team in the playoffs at 576 00:30:40,440 --> 00:30:43,760 Speaker 1: this point and still have a shot to be the 577 00:30:43,920 --> 00:30:48,040 Speaker 1: number one seed in the Also, the schedule sets up 578 00:30:48,160 --> 00:30:53,680 Speaker 1: nicely Kansas City. There is no momentum, so we know that. However, 579 00:30:53,720 --> 00:30:55,600 Speaker 1: they are playing with some confidence. 580 00:30:55,160 --> 00:30:56,880 Speaker 4: Now they have up ahead. 581 00:30:57,040 --> 00:31:00,520 Speaker 1: If you look, you've got the Bills, Broncos, and Colts 582 00:31:00,640 --> 00:31:04,240 Speaker 1: upcoming is also by mixed in and so those are 583 00:31:04,400 --> 00:31:07,400 Speaker 1: massive swing games both in the division and then just 584 00:31:07,440 --> 00:31:11,200 Speaker 1: the overall hierarchy in the AFC down down the line. 585 00:31:11,200 --> 00:31:13,680 Speaker 1: So Kansas City, I'm trying to say, if you like 586 00:31:13,880 --> 00:31:19,040 Speaker 1: horror movies, Kansas City this season it's like that classic 587 00:31:20,160 --> 00:31:20,800 Speaker 1: Child's Play. 588 00:31:20,800 --> 00:31:21,400 Speaker 4: Remember that movie. 589 00:31:21,400 --> 00:31:23,880 Speaker 1: It's all movie now, all my references are old, I guess, 590 00:31:23,880 --> 00:31:27,600 Speaker 1: but Child's Play, and that was where Chucky was at. 591 00:31:27,520 --> 00:31:28,560 Speaker 4: The beginning of the movie. 592 00:31:28,560 --> 00:31:32,160 Speaker 1: There he was burned, shot and dismembered, and somehow, because 593 00:31:32,160 --> 00:31:35,320 Speaker 1: it's Hollywood, managed to come back. Why not Kansas City 594 00:31:35,360 --> 00:31:38,080 Speaker 1: to begin the year was burn shot and dismembered, And 595 00:31:38,120 --> 00:31:40,040 Speaker 1: they have come back now and they're right in the 596 00:31:40,080 --> 00:31:43,760 Speaker 1: middle of it in the AFC and Mahomes is breathing 597 00:31:44,280 --> 00:31:48,640 Speaker 1: like a dragon with fire. Andy Reid's is suddenly smart again, 598 00:31:49,280 --> 00:31:51,480 Speaker 1: and we're on our way.
