I know what they 0:00:46.440 --> 0:00:49.880 are now more or less, but gives us an opportunity 0:00:49.920 --> 0:00:52.199 to discuss with Chrissie his uh thinking behind and what 0:00:52.280 --> 0:00:56.000 his thoughts were on these games. And I will tell 0:00:56.040 --> 0:00:59.040 you that of the six games, I was more or 0:00:59.120 --> 0:01:01.640 less right around half point or a point off, you 0:01:01.640 --> 0:01:03.880 know in the ballpark. Let's say for five of the six, 0:01:04.520 --> 0:01:09.760 one of them I was comically off on comically So 0:01:09.800 --> 0:01:11.640 we'll get to that. And he guesses Jason as to 0:01:11.720 --> 0:01:14.399 what game that was that was comically off. On the 0:01:14.480 --> 0:01:20.640 Tennessee game, you are correct. Just leave it. We'll get 0:01:20.680 --> 0:01:24.120 into that. I can't wait for the comedy though. Yeah, okay, 0:01:24.560 --> 0:01:26.440 let's stalk before we get Chrissy here. Well we can 0:01:26.440 --> 0:01:28.520 break Kissie, Christie and now Ladies. Gentle was my book 0:01:28.640 --> 0:01:31.240 from the South Point Hotel Casino, the star of guessing 0:01:31.280 --> 0:01:33.679 lines during the regular season and kind enough to join 0:01:33.760 --> 0:01:35.560 us here in the playoffs? Is Christie Andrews? Are you doing? 0:01:35.600 --> 0:01:42.920 Chris all? Look in my wounds? After yesterday? Up? What 0:01:42.959 --> 0:01:46.600 was the worst of the Sunday night game? Yesterday? That 0:01:46.720 --> 0:01:49.640 was the worst? Yeah, that was the worst. Yeah. The 0:01:49.840 --> 0:01:54.240 landing on six was was not fun. I would imagine. Um, yeah, 0:01:54.280 --> 0:01:56.920 we opened the Eagles one and we went as high 0:01:56.960 --> 0:02:02.080 as seven on Washington, and well six was not a 0:02:02.160 --> 0:02:05.760 very good number. Yeah. Well, you know, hey, this happens, right, 0:02:05.880 --> 0:02:07.440 and then you'll have five weeks in a wrong will 0:02:07.440 --> 0:02:10.640 you crush people? So you know, I don't know my dad. 0:02:12.120 --> 0:02:13.920 I just want to give you some coaching news here. 0:02:13.960 --> 0:02:16.079 We know Adam Gates was fired by the Jets last night. 0:02:16.080 --> 0:02:18.679 This morning in case you missed it here just moments ago, 0:02:19.040 --> 0:02:22.840 came down Doug Morone no real surprise, fired pardon me 0:02:22.919 --> 0:02:27.959 by the Jacksonville Jaguars. All the speculation is that urban 0:02:28.120 --> 0:02:31.560 Meyer will be their head coach. Urban Meyer has already 0:02:31.560 --> 0:02:34.400 talked to Scott Pioli perhaps to be his GM, talking 0:02:34.400 --> 0:02:37.080 to coaches around the country. We'll see if that actually happens. 0:02:37.240 --> 0:02:40.880 But Doug Moron now out in Jacksonville. We do know this. 0:02:41.560 --> 0:02:47.280 Zach Taylor is going to stay with the Cincinnati Bengals. Uh, 0:02:47.360 --> 0:02:49.600 Mike Brown doing his thing. This from Zack Barnett. Zach 0:02:49.600 --> 0:02:52.880 Taylor will returned for a third season in Bengals owner 0:02:52.919 --> 0:02:57.000 Mike Brown announced. The Bengals love holding onto coaches, don't 0:02:57.000 --> 0:03:03.600 they do? And I'm just telling you, well, we'll get 0:03:03.600 --> 0:03:05.840 to that later. But you know, it's a shame. I 0:03:05.840 --> 0:03:08.040 don't want to waste Joe Burrow's career. Like I said, 0:03:08.040 --> 0:03:11.160 I'm not rooting against anybody. I'm always rooting. I want 0:03:11.160 --> 0:03:14.200 the league to prosper. Because the league prospers, then I 0:03:14.280 --> 0:03:17.120 have a chance to prosper. And I need to waste 0:03:17.200 --> 0:03:20.160 Joe Burrow's career. And exactly, it was just an awful coach. 0:03:20.280 --> 0:03:24.200 And but you know, the Bengals, that's what the That's 0:03:24.240 --> 0:03:27.640 what the Bengals do. You know. Anyway, probably another wasted 0:03:27.720 --> 0:03:30.320 year for Joe Burrow. I don't plan on giving any 0:03:30.560 --> 0:03:33.560 stats of teams from yesterday that aren't in the postseason, 0:03:33.560 --> 0:03:36.040 so we can sort of, you know, scuttle by those teams. 0:03:36.320 --> 0:03:39.000 But I will just mention this about the Bengals. Zach 0:03:39.080 --> 0:03:43.840 Taylor two years now, six twenty five and one as 0:03:43.880 --> 0:03:47.440 the head coach of the Cincinnati Bengals. And I wasn't 0:03:47.480 --> 0:03:49.880 aware because I wasn't looking for stats of the teams 0:03:49.880 --> 0:03:52.080 that were, you know, not not going to the postseason. 0:03:52.520 --> 0:03:55.520 But uh my buddy said, hey, did you see Brandon 0:03:55.520 --> 0:04:00.680 Allen stats yesterday? Brandon Allen was six of twenty one 0:04:00.960 --> 0:04:05.520 for forty eight yards yesterday against Baltimore, no touchdowns, two picks, 0:04:05.720 --> 0:04:08.360 He wasn't sacked. He had a qb R of three 0:04:08.520 --> 0:04:12.080 and a rating of zero. Come on back, Zach Taylor. 0:04:12.120 --> 0:04:17.040 That's yes, Oh my god. So I don't know he 0:04:17.120 --> 0:04:18.840 got the QBR of three, but you know those things 0:04:18.880 --> 0:04:23.800 are quirky. But Joe Burrow, along with Josh Allen, and 0:04:23.880 --> 0:04:25.200 I don't I think we need to give this guy 0:04:25.240 --> 0:04:27.760 more credit. Because Matt Brown and I, along with Dave Pharah, 0:04:27.800 --> 0:04:30.279 we did a fantasy show last year, not this year, 0:04:30.760 --> 0:04:34.240 this past year, and Jordan Palmer. Carson Palmer's little brother, 0:04:34.240 --> 0:04:36.760 who also had a moment in the Pros runs this 0:04:36.839 --> 0:04:41.040 quarterback camp, and any credit we want to give to 0:04:41.160 --> 0:04:46.559 Josh Allen's magnificent accuracy turnaround should go to Jordan Palmer. 0:04:46.560 --> 0:04:48.160 He's also had Joe burrownder his wings, So I mean 0:04:48.440 --> 0:04:51.039 he might be the quarterback whisper, the quarterback guru. But 0:04:51.680 --> 0:04:53.920 Zach Taylor coming back, and we'll find out about Anthony Lynn. 0:04:53.960 --> 0:04:58.440 I guess today, what do you think? I am a 0:04:58.520 --> 0:05:02.640 hunch he's gonna stay. We do. You know? They finished 0:05:02.680 --> 0:05:06.440 strong and I don't know the Stanos family, but I 0:05:06.480 --> 0:05:10.160 know people to do. They are notoriously cheap. That's what 0:05:10.240 --> 0:05:14.279 I can say. And it would behoove to him to 0:05:14.760 --> 0:05:21.600 not pay to one that. It's Gil Alexander, It's Chris Andrews. 0:05:21.600 --> 0:05:23.640 This is a numbers game right here at Visa, the 0:05:23.680 --> 0:05:26.200 Sports Betting Network, Visa dot Com, Visa at foodbos Linking 0:05:26.240 --> 0:05:29.719 game plus part of the I Heart Radio Network. Alright, 0:05:29.880 --> 0:05:33.560 so let us begin. Let's do these in chronological order. 0:05:33.880 --> 0:05:36.120 We'll get the survivor and uh, we'll get you all 0:05:36.160 --> 0:05:38.839 the details of who got through on Survivor. Later we'll 0:05:38.839 --> 0:05:40.800 talk about m v P and Heisman and all that 0:05:40.880 --> 0:05:43.719 kind of stuff. Pete few tackle Jonas for college football. 0:05:43.760 --> 0:05:46.960 Todd wishing about what he's doing live on Twitter as well. 0:05:47.000 --> 0:05:49.200 But the first hour here with Chrissy. Let's start with 0:05:49.240 --> 0:05:52.560 the first of the six triple head or Saturday and Sunday. 0:05:52.600 --> 0:05:55.760 What do you got first? On Saturday, we have a 0:05:55.800 --> 0:05:58.920 cold set the Bills. Colts at the Bills. Colts get 0:05:58.920 --> 0:06:04.000 it done. Colts beat the Jaguars to fourteen. Took a 0:06:04.040 --> 0:06:07.200 little while to have some breathing ruin that game. But 0:06:07.520 --> 0:06:10.560 Jonathan Taylor Derrick Henry did not have the most yards 0:06:10.560 --> 0:06:14.160 in the NFL yesterday. Jonathan Taylor did uh thirty carries 0:06:14.200 --> 0:06:17.200 for two hundred fifty three yards two touchdowns. Uh. The 0:06:17.200 --> 0:06:19.320 Colts had four hundred thirty seven total yards of offense. 0:06:19.320 --> 0:06:21.960 Two hundred seventy three of those were rushing rivers seventeen 0:06:22.000 --> 0:06:24.400 of twenty seven for one sixty four, one touchdown, one pick. 0:06:24.440 --> 0:06:26.960 He was not sacked. They needed to win into Tennessee 0:06:27.080 --> 0:06:28.760 loss to win the an f C South. That did 0:06:28.800 --> 0:06:31.320 not happen, but they got the win and a loss 0:06:31.360 --> 0:06:34.679 by Miami to put them in the postseason. Did did happen? 0:06:34.760 --> 0:06:37.360 For the Colts. So the eleven and five Colts enter 0:06:37.440 --> 0:06:41.000 as the number seven seed, and then Buffalo enters is 0:06:41.040 --> 0:06:44.479 the number two seeds. Sean McDermott decided, we're gonna play 0:06:44.520 --> 0:06:46.400 guys for a half. At least we're gonna play Josh 0:06:46.440 --> 0:06:49.200 Allen for a half yesterday against Buffalo. I'm not sure 0:06:49.240 --> 0:06:51.799 if it would have mattered if it was Josh Allen 0:06:51.920 --> 0:06:55.320 or Joe Ferguson at his advanced stage yesterday playing in 0:06:55.320 --> 0:06:58.240 this game. But in the first half Allen eighteen of 0:06:58.279 --> 0:07:01.520 twenty five for two twenty four three touchdowns, one picky 0:07:01.640 --> 0:07:04.320 sacked once. He ends up with four thousand, five hundred 0:07:04.360 --> 0:07:08.560 forty four passing yards and forty five total touchdowns. That's 0:07:08.560 --> 0:07:10.880 through the air and on the ground. That's both of 0:07:10.880 --> 0:07:14.000 those are franchise records, by the way. Antonio Williams twelve 0:07:14.080 --> 0:07:16.760 or sixty three two touchdowns, Gabriel Davis two catches one 0:07:16.760 --> 0:07:20.120 oh seven for a touchdown. Isaiah mackenzie six catches sixty 0:07:20.120 --> 0:07:22.239 five yards two touchdowns, also had a punt return touchdown. 0:07:22.400 --> 0:07:25.120 There were plus two and turnovers against Miami. It's their 0:07:25.160 --> 0:07:29.560 first thirteen win season since the Bills. That is, and 0:07:29.600 --> 0:07:32.560 will host its first playoff game they will in twenty 0:07:32.760 --> 0:07:37.520 four years as they crush, absolutely crushed the Dolphins fifty 0:07:37.600 --> 0:07:41.200 six to twenty six. My guest was minus seven and 0:07:41.200 --> 0:07:42.880 a half in favor of the Bills. What did you 0:07:42.960 --> 0:07:47.559 end up putting up? Well, you know, I opened six 0:07:47.600 --> 0:07:50.680 and a half, but we got bet up. We had 0:07:50.680 --> 0:07:52.760 a few bets last night and that was one of 0:07:52.800 --> 0:07:57.160 them that bet on the Bill. So we're seven right now. Um, 0:07:57.200 --> 0:07:59.520 you know, my my power rating has actually come a 0:07:59.600 --> 0:08:03.240 little lower. But my my feeling is I think seven 0:08:03.600 --> 0:08:07.920 has got to be the number myself. Um, you know Colts, 0:08:08.280 --> 0:08:10.840 you know, I think the Colds and I make Philip 0:08:10.960 --> 0:08:13.640 Rivers and uh, you know, my first thought is inconsistent 0:08:14.040 --> 0:08:19.280 That most people think inconsistent is necessarily a negative connotation. 0:08:19.360 --> 0:08:21.960 It isn't because there's sometimes when they look really good 0:08:22.000 --> 0:08:23.880 and I got that. I think they have a very 0:08:23.920 --> 0:08:27.120 good roster. But you know, Rivers, I mean, you know, 0:08:27.200 --> 0:08:30.440 he's always been inconsistent. Now he's at an advanced age 0:08:30.440 --> 0:08:33.679 and he's gonna figures be more inconsistent. But you know, 0:08:33.800 --> 0:08:35.920 do they have a chance against the Bills. Absolutely, But 0:08:36.120 --> 0:08:38.400 right now I think the Bills are just they're playing 0:08:38.440 --> 0:08:40.480 as good at football as anybody in the NFL, and 0:08:40.520 --> 0:08:43.520 they're gonna be awfully tough to beat. And I think 0:08:43.559 --> 0:08:46.000 home Field is starting to meet a little something, especially 0:08:46.040 --> 0:08:48.720 now in these playoff games. UH. So, you know, I 0:08:48.760 --> 0:08:51.000 think sevens are good. I think seven was a good number. 0:08:51.040 --> 0:08:53.200 I got opened it a little bit too low. I 0:08:53.280 --> 0:08:55.880 believe that there's no breaking news here, but I think 0:08:55.920 --> 0:08:59.640 Buffalo will be v teaser leg that everybody ties in 0:08:59.720 --> 0:09:02.760 every thing else with uh and perhaps rightfully so. I 0:09:02.800 --> 0:09:04.840 agree with you. They're playing as well as anybody, and 0:09:04.840 --> 0:09:08.000 that includes Kansas City and that includes Green Bay. Can 0:09:08.040 --> 0:09:10.560 we talk about Miami for a second who they knocked 0:09:10.600 --> 0:09:13.160 out or at or at least helped knock out the 0:09:13.760 --> 0:09:17.559 once Indianapolis when it was a done deal. Miami ends 0:09:17.640 --> 0:09:20.400 up ten and six. They end up the odd team 0:09:20.440 --> 0:09:23.440 out of the eight teams for seven spots sweepstakes in 0:09:23.440 --> 0:09:26.960 the a f C. Uh Towah in the first half 0:09:27.040 --> 0:09:31.960 yesterday was twelve of nineteen for eighty nine yards, no touchdowns, 0:09:32.040 --> 0:09:34.480 no picks. He was stocked once. He ended up thirty 0:09:34.520 --> 0:09:38.920 five of fifty eight for three sixty one fifty eight attempts, 0:09:39.200 --> 0:09:43.120 one touchdown, three picks. Was sacked once. The picks were 0:09:43.160 --> 0:09:46.840 over the span of four second half possessions. Three picks 0:09:46.880 --> 0:09:50.199 in four second half possessions. He had two interceptions his 0:09:50.280 --> 0:09:53.559 first eight starts. But the play I want to seize 0:09:53.559 --> 0:09:55.400 on because a lot of people are gonna seeze on 0:09:55.440 --> 0:09:57.439 the fact that you know, the ball doesn't go downfield 0:09:57.480 --> 0:10:00.000 with him, and that's justifiable, that's absolutely right to see 0:10:00.080 --> 0:10:02.120 is on that. But there was another thing in that game, 0:10:02.240 --> 0:10:06.160 third quarter, twelve oh five left, the Dolphins were down 0:10:06.800 --> 0:10:08.480 to six, So this is the opening drive of the 0:10:08.520 --> 0:10:10.880 second half. They got rolled in the first half by 0:10:10.880 --> 0:10:14.760 Alan first and goal at the Buffalo nine to up 0:10:14.800 --> 0:10:18.240 the gut, and instead of taking on defenders and trying 0:10:18.240 --> 0:10:20.599 to get into the end zone, he slides right in 0:10:20.640 --> 0:10:22.880 the middle of the field and lands at the I 0:10:22.880 --> 0:10:24.600 don't know, it was like a four or five yard game, 0:10:25.040 --> 0:10:27.280 and I just remember thinking of myself at that moment 0:10:27.760 --> 0:10:31.480 that play was more damning to me than any of 0:10:31.520 --> 0:10:36.160 his passes downfield. Is he shy of contact still with 0:10:36.200 --> 0:10:38.640 the injury? What did you see that play? What did 0:10:38.640 --> 0:10:43.200 you chalk that up to? I didn't see that play 0:10:43.280 --> 0:10:45.080 that was at that one up being one of our 0:10:45.160 --> 0:10:47.480 few really really good games. And I didn't watch it 0:10:47.520 --> 0:10:50.839 all that much because that other thing to sweat. But 0:10:50.880 --> 0:10:53.079 I had, you know, obviously had it on in my office, 0:10:53.640 --> 0:10:56.280 but during the day, I mean that, you know. And 0:10:56.360 --> 0:10:58.800 then he was in my office for the first couple 0:10:58.840 --> 0:11:01.679 of hours, and then Jimmy was all day it kept saying, 0:11:02.120 --> 0:11:04.520 I don't think this kid's got it. I just, you know, 0:11:04.640 --> 0:11:07.160 I don't know. Maybe we need some really good coaching. 0:11:07.240 --> 0:11:09.559 We started talking about some of the other guys who 0:11:09.559 --> 0:11:11.920 took a while to develop. Carry Bradshaw, who me and 0:11:12.000 --> 0:11:14.839 Jimmy Saws, you know, a young quarterback, and always say 0:11:14.800 --> 0:11:17.880 if you look at bradshaw stats and Ryan Leaves from 0:11:17.880 --> 0:11:20.560 their first couple of years, they look almost identical. But 0:11:20.600 --> 0:11:23.240 Bradshaw turned into the Hall of Famer and Releef retired 0:11:23.280 --> 0:11:26.439 after a few years. So we too early jumped the gun. Maybe, 0:11:26.840 --> 0:11:29.080 but there's something missing with too And I don't know 0:11:29.080 --> 0:11:32.800 if coaching can do it or not. Um, you mentioned 0:11:32.800 --> 0:11:35.440 that play right there. I did not be that, but 0:11:35.920 --> 0:11:39.480 I think that that kind of speaks volumes there, and uh, 0:11:39.760 --> 0:11:41.280 you know, I think they have an issue on their 0:11:41.280 --> 0:11:42.920 hands that they need to address, and they have an 0:11:42.920 --> 0:11:45.520 early draft choice and I think they have the third 0:11:45.600 --> 0:11:48.920 draft choice, so they they have an opportunity to draft 0:11:48.960 --> 0:11:51.840 somebody instead of to and that I think that's a 0:11:51.840 --> 0:11:54.480 good possibility. Could you imagine if they did that. Yeah, 0:11:54.480 --> 0:11:56.199 Dolphins end up with a third pick in the draft 0:11:56.200 --> 0:11:59.440 because of the Laramie Tunsil deal, Thank you, Bill O'Brien. 0:12:00.120 --> 0:12:02.600 So they end up with a three pick in the draft. 0:12:03.000 --> 0:12:05.079 So we'll see. Man, if they went a quarterback, that 0:12:05.120 --> 0:12:09.080 would be just absolutely unbelievable. As far as the game 0:12:09.120 --> 0:12:12.560 Tennessee at Buffalo, excuse me, Indianapolis at Buffalo, seven seed 0:12:12.640 --> 0:12:14.959 versus the two seed in the end, I will be 0:12:14.960 --> 0:12:21.040 betting Buffalo every which way and teasers. Teasers included obviously 0:12:21.800 --> 0:12:24.199 um part of a money line parlay. I'm sure might 0:12:24.240 --> 0:12:25.920 bet m a t S if you're getting him in 0:12:25.960 --> 0:12:28.680 seven or below. I don't know how I could be 0:12:28.760 --> 0:12:31.920 talked off that position. I just think they're playing that well. 0:12:32.040 --> 0:12:33.920 And I don't know that the Colts. Listen, the Colts 0:12:33.920 --> 0:12:38.479 were they couldn't really get past Jacksonville that easily yesterday. 0:12:38.600 --> 0:12:40.280 I don't know about the Colts. I haven't really known 0:12:40.320 --> 0:12:43.640 about them all year. Haven't felt like i've known their 0:12:43.679 --> 0:12:46.960 identity so that'll be bills for me for sure, every 0:12:46.960 --> 0:12:51.800 which way. What's number two? Next step? We have the 0:12:51.920 --> 0:12:58.600 Rams at Seattle. Rams at Seattle, all right, Rams get 0:12:58.640 --> 0:13:00.160 there by beating the Cardinals, and we gotta do a 0:13:00.240 --> 0:13:02.880 Cardinals autopsy two, just like we did with the Dolphins 0:13:02.920 --> 0:13:06.000 because I had things to stay there. Rams at Seattle 0:13:06.760 --> 0:13:11.720 Rams beat the Cardinals in a elimination game eighteen to seven, 0:13:11.760 --> 0:13:13.960 in a game that became very apparent as it went 0:13:14.040 --> 0:13:16.520 on that the Rams defense. Again I said this on 0:13:16.559 --> 0:13:17.880 Primetime Action. I'm not sure if I said it on 0:13:17.920 --> 0:13:21.080 a numbers game. The Rams defensive unit was always going 0:13:21.120 --> 0:13:23.679 to be the best unit on that football field, and 0:13:23.800 --> 0:13:26.320 boy did they show it yesterday in this game. And 0:13:26.360 --> 0:13:28.520 you knew as you watch it, You're like, there's no 0:13:28.600 --> 0:13:30.280 way the Cardinals are going to win this game. So 0:13:30.280 --> 0:13:33.720 it's a great end game opportunity. John Woolford two time 0:13:34.320 --> 0:13:37.640 a a F Player of the Week. It's the Alliance 0:13:37.679 --> 0:13:42.599 of American Football. Cristy Case, you're scoring at home. I 0:13:42.640 --> 0:13:46.280 don't even know what that was the one before last season, 0:13:47.240 --> 0:13:49.800 before the twenty nineteen season, and they didn't get through 0:13:49.840 --> 0:13:51.760 the season. Did they had to cancel it? Like after 0:13:51.800 --> 0:13:57.480 six weeks, seven weeks. Yeah, the one that was financially insolvent. Yeah. 0:13:57.600 --> 0:14:00.559 He played for Arizona in the in the a F. 0:14:00.880 --> 0:14:03.360 But John Wolf it was thirty eight yesterday for two 0:14:03.480 --> 0:14:05.720 thirty one, no touchdowns, one pick. He was sacked twice. 0:14:05.960 --> 0:14:09.120 He did carry the ball six times for fifty six yards. 0:14:09.640 --> 0:14:12.959 That was an added dimension that people knew about him 0:14:13.160 --> 0:14:15.640 from his days at Wake Forest and the a F. 0:14:16.160 --> 0:14:18.680 He he started with a pick on his very first 0:14:18.720 --> 0:14:21.520 throw and you're like, oh, this might not go well, 0:14:21.720 --> 0:14:25.120 but really gazing the game. Confidence as the day went on. 0:14:25.400 --> 0:14:27.360 But it's the defense, the Rams defense. They scored as 0:14:27.360 --> 0:14:29.600 many points as the Rams offense, a couple more than 0:14:29.640 --> 0:14:33.000 the Cardinals themselves in their eighteen to seven win. It's 0:14:33.000 --> 0:14:35.640 the third postseason birth and four years under coach Sean McVeigh. 0:14:35.640 --> 0:14:37.280 The Rams would have reached the playoffs even with a 0:14:37.320 --> 0:14:41.400 loss because Green Bay beat Chicago, but nine points uh 0:14:41.440 --> 0:14:46.120 pick six from Hill that was the big play of 0:14:46.240 --> 0:14:49.720 this game and a safety while holding the Cardinals two 0:14:50.040 --> 0:14:52.680 fourteen yards, shutting them out for the final fifty five minutes. 0:14:53.200 --> 0:14:56.440 Brandon Staley, the defensive coordinator. His unit finishes the regular 0:14:56.480 --> 0:14:59.240 season allowing the fewest points to six and and fewest 0:14:59.280 --> 0:15:02.920 total yards eleven in the entire NFL. Rams had the 0:15:02.920 --> 0:15:05.040 ball for thirty seven minutes and fifty one seconds in 0:15:05.120 --> 0:15:08.640 time of possession. Seattle gets by San Francisco. They don't cover, 0:15:09.040 --> 0:15:11.680 but they get by San Francisco. Russell Wilson hit Tie 0:15:11.720 --> 0:15:14.960 Lockett for two fourth quarter touchdowns. Stellar defensive effort, uh. 0:15:14.960 --> 0:15:17.000 They beat the Niners twenty six to twenty three. They 0:15:17.040 --> 0:15:19.000 were down sixteen to six early in the fourth quarter, 0:15:19.440 --> 0:15:22.440 came back with two touchdowns again to lock it and 0:15:22.480 --> 0:15:26.240 then held on Wilson twenty thirty six one two touchdowns, 0:15:26.240 --> 0:15:28.120 no picks. He was sacked twice. Lock At twelve for 0:15:28.280 --> 0:15:31.480 ninety with those two touchdowns, twittered eighty tolliards all Seattle 0:15:31.520 --> 0:15:33.680 needed to win that game. But they win the NFC West, 0:15:33.840 --> 0:15:36.360 as we already knew they would. They had already clinched that, 0:15:36.360 --> 0:15:38.080 but they end up with the number three seed. Couldn't 0:15:38.120 --> 0:15:40.720 advance their seating, but they do end up number three. 0:15:40.760 --> 0:15:43.280 They're hosting the Rams, and I said, you know, my 0:15:43.360 --> 0:15:46.520 guest was Seattle was Seattle minus three? What did you 0:15:46.600 --> 0:15:50.680 end up posting? We opened four and a half and 0:15:50.720 --> 0:15:52.920 that's where we are we uh, you know, we had 0:15:52.960 --> 0:15:54.760 got some play last night, and of course we're open 0:15:54.800 --> 0:15:58.400 all night, so you know, uh, even action at this point, 0:15:58.400 --> 0:16:02.880 but nothing really significant. You know, how much does it 0:16:03.000 --> 0:16:05.120 mean to you to have golf or not have God. 0:16:05.320 --> 0:16:07.840 I was just going to ask you that question. I 0:16:08.040 --> 0:16:10.400 just gonna ask you, like, was there a little bit 0:16:10.440 --> 0:16:13.680 of you watching that yesterday where you're like, huh, is 0:16:13.760 --> 0:16:19.520 this worse than golf? Actually? I that was a big 0:16:19.560 --> 0:16:21.960 game for us, another one we lost, by the way, 0:16:22.120 --> 0:16:24.080 So I was watching, man, I don't want to say intent, 0:16:24.160 --> 0:16:26.040 like there's just too much going on. I couldn't watch 0:16:26.080 --> 0:16:30.280 anything that intent. But the more I'm watching it, I 0:16:30.360 --> 0:16:33.160 kept saying, you know, this kid ain't bad, you know, 0:16:33.400 --> 0:16:36.240 And I just I handed a QBR right here. I 0:16:36.440 --> 0:16:38.600 had lost it. He was like seven D in the 0:16:38.680 --> 0:16:41.680 sixties or something like that. So I mean, even after 0:16:41.720 --> 0:16:43.960 an interception and early interceptions, I was like to you, 0:16:44.040 --> 0:16:46.720 I thought were early interception, Okay, this kid just doesn't 0:16:46.800 --> 0:16:49.280 have it. But you know, talking to people all week, 0:16:49.320 --> 0:16:52.560 a lot of guys thought that, you know, it's really 0:16:52.680 --> 0:16:55.640 McVeigh more than God. You know. On the plus side, 0:16:56.000 --> 0:16:58.720 you know it's McVeigh that made golf as good as 0:16:58.760 --> 0:17:00.720 he was and has and and you know, it was 0:17:00.720 --> 0:17:04.639 certainly inconsistent. But they're feeling was it wasn't going to 0:17:04.720 --> 0:17:06.760 make that much of a difference. You know, I needed 0:17:06.800 --> 0:17:10.640 to be shown. But the more I watched this kid, yeah, 0:17:10.840 --> 0:17:13.240 you know, he's not that. I'm not sure there's that 0:17:13.400 --> 0:17:18.639 big a difference between him and golf. You know, something 0:17:18.640 --> 0:17:21.439 inside me tells me there is, but you know, my 0:17:21.520 --> 0:17:24.320 eyeballs called me differently. I'm not sure that there really is. 0:17:25.440 --> 0:17:29.720 I don't know. Arizona Christy Christie got some other media 0:17:29.800 --> 0:17:34.520 back there, Uh you know sometimes ESPN it just started talking. 0:17:34.760 --> 0:17:38.760 I don't know why just have a life of its 0:17:38.800 --> 0:17:42.960 own website. Um so I had, I said, yeah, so 0:17:43.000 --> 0:17:44.800 I had three? You said four and a half. So 0:17:44.840 --> 0:17:46.600 you would think I would like race to bet the 0:17:46.680 --> 0:17:50.560 Rams here and not if it's golf. I wouldn't um 0:17:50.680 --> 0:17:54.959 teaser on the which the Rams? YEA, yeah maybe so 0:17:55.400 --> 0:17:57.200 maybe a teaser like on the Rams that would be 0:17:57.200 --> 0:17:58.880 the only thing. But I've done that with the Rams. Look, 0:17:58.880 --> 0:18:00.640 we did that with the Rams last it didn't work 0:18:00.680 --> 0:18:03.160 out right. So it's like you just I don't want 0:18:03.200 --> 0:18:05.359 to die with the Rams. Anymore than I already have. 0:18:05.480 --> 0:18:07.840 By the way, my six week sixteen in weeks seventeen 0:18:08.040 --> 0:18:10.359 Survivor selections would have won. So it is the Rams 0:18:10.359 --> 0:18:14.000 who destroyed me personally. By the way, Christie, now that 0:18:14.000 --> 0:18:15.720 it's done, can we congratulate you for being one of 0:18:15.760 --> 0:18:21.440 the Survivor finalists, the one ones who got through there? Yeah? Yeah, 0:18:21.600 --> 0:18:23.520 you know, we like to get there. I can't believe 0:18:23.600 --> 0:18:27.160 all that many people wanted the perfect Yeah, I mean, 0:18:27.520 --> 0:18:31.040 I don't think we knocked out anybody yesterday. No, not one. 0:18:32.760 --> 0:18:35.840 There you go. That's for Christie's Are you and your partners? 0:18:35.840 --> 0:18:38.199 Are you almost I hate to say this because it's 0:18:38.200 --> 0:18:40.359 wonderful because you end up with sixty eight thousand dollars 0:18:41.040 --> 0:18:45.000 as a check, But are you almost in a weird 0:18:45.200 --> 0:18:49.440 way deflated that so many people getting to the end, 0:18:49.800 --> 0:18:54.199 Like I hate to say that out? Yeah, yeah, for sure. 0:18:54.359 --> 0:19:00.080 I mean was it two three point something million? And 0:19:00.240 --> 0:19:02.919 oh man, if we could take ourselves. I mean, you know, 0:19:03.880 --> 0:19:06.640 that's pretty good score. I mean, as it is, I mean, 0:19:06.680 --> 0:19:09.840 it's nice, don't worry. I mean, I'm glad I wanted. 0:19:10.000 --> 0:19:13.040 But yeah, there's a part of me that had visions 0:19:13.080 --> 0:19:16.800 of you know, many riches, you know, halfway stood the 0:19:16.840 --> 0:19:19.760 here and it just didn't come to fruition. Uh. Let's well, 0:19:19.760 --> 0:19:23.040 congratulations nonetheless on that. Let's do the autopsy here of 0:19:23.119 --> 0:19:26.800 the Cardinals here before we go to break. But Cliff Kingsbury, 0:19:26.840 --> 0:19:28.919 who I was killing last week for all those fourth 0:19:28.920 --> 0:19:31.679 down calls he made, and then it finally nipped him 0:19:31.720 --> 0:19:34.399 in the butt in that Saturday game against the Niners, 0:19:34.400 --> 0:19:37.240 which really put the Cardinals behind the eight ball. Yesterday, 0:19:37.320 --> 0:19:40.800 second and seven at the Rams, thirty two, twenty seconds 0:19:40.880 --> 0:19:43.919 left and a half, Arizona's up seven to five. He 0:19:44.000 --> 0:19:48.159 has Chris Traveler passing the football and instead of just 0:19:48.359 --> 0:19:50.560 going into the half trying to kick a field goal, 0:19:50.560 --> 0:19:53.000 go up ten to five. Pick six, the Troy Hill 0:19:53.040 --> 0:19:56.200 pick six we talked about eighty four yards completely changed 0:19:56.240 --> 0:19:59.199 that football game. That's on Kingsbury to me, like, you 0:19:59.280 --> 0:20:02.400 just don't may that call. Kyler Murray ended up eight 0:20:02.440 --> 0:20:04.919 of eleven for eighties seven before he went out with 0:20:04.960 --> 0:20:08.200 a ankle injury. Straveler was eleven of six for one 0:20:08.200 --> 0:20:11.199 oh five, one touchdown, one pick, uh, two sacks two 0:20:11.560 --> 0:20:14.680 twenty total yards. As we mentioned, they lost six of nine. 0:20:14.880 --> 0:20:17.800 The Cardinals did following a five and to start. Uh 0:20:17.840 --> 0:20:19.880 as they end up now to a oh and eight 0:20:19.960 --> 0:20:22.520 versus Sean McVeigh. I guess, but eighty seven yards for 0:20:22.640 --> 0:20:24.879 Murray set out from the first most of the first 0:20:24.880 --> 0:20:27.720 three quarters with the ankle injury after he had to 0:20:27.800 --> 0:20:29.920 leave in the first quarter, and they missed the playoffs 0:20:29.920 --> 0:20:32.359 for the fifth consecutive season. Arizona would have clinched the 0:20:32.400 --> 0:20:35.000 spot in the playoffs with the victory. Murray returned for 0:20:35.040 --> 0:20:37.479 the fourth quarter immediately drove the Cardinals deep into Rams territory, 0:20:37.480 --> 0:20:39.280 but ended up with zero points. But that that play 0:20:39.320 --> 0:20:40.880 at the end of the first half. I mean, it's 0:20:40.880 --> 0:20:43.480 hard to pick out one play that changes a football game, 0:20:43.840 --> 0:20:45.280 but if there was one, in that one, it was 0:20:45.320 --> 0:20:48.120 surely that. I just Cliff Kingsbury. Look, he's not gonna 0:20:48.119 --> 0:20:51.000 get fired or anything, but I just don't think he's 0:20:51.040 --> 0:20:56.280 that great at all. And that's an understatement. I've set 0:20:56.280 --> 0:20:58.159 it from the beginning because you know, it's never a 0:20:58.200 --> 0:21:00.959 big Murray guy. But I thought, you know, probably one 0:21:01.000 --> 0:21:03.760 of the things I didn't like about him was playing 0:21:03.760 --> 0:21:09.320 for Kingsbury, who I really don't like him. So yeah, yesterday, okay, 0:21:09.359 --> 0:21:13.439
