1
00:00:00,320 --> 00:00:05,080
Speaker 1: The Around the NFL Podcast got a two star Yelp

2
00:00:05,160 --> 00:00:10,080
Speaker 1: review from Steve Smith Sr. Welcome back to another edition

3
00:00:10,080 --> 00:00:12,680
Speaker 1: of the Around the NFL Podcast. My name is Dan

4
00:00:12,720 --> 00:00:15,320
Speaker 1: Hansus and I'm joined my room Phil with the heroes,

5
00:00:15,400 --> 00:00:20,040
Speaker 1: Mark Sessler, Chris Westling and Greg Rosa. Thought. What's up? Boys?

6
00:00:20,040 --> 00:00:23,000
Speaker 1: Going on? Very well directed with the hand motions there.

7
00:00:23,200 --> 00:00:27,720
Speaker 1: Gregg jumping over less is old? Hey, yeah, something Greg

8
00:00:27,720 --> 00:00:30,000
Speaker 1: likes to do every couple of weeks just to announce

9
00:00:30,080 --> 00:00:35,720
Speaker 1: himself with authority. Is that true? I wasn't paying any attention. Yeah, well,

10
00:00:35,760 --> 00:00:39,479
Speaker 1: welcome to Yes, this is the Sunday Night edition. I

11
00:00:39,600 --> 00:00:42,800
Speaker 1: like to call it mark the flagship edition of the

12
00:00:42,840 --> 00:00:45,840
Speaker 1: podcast during the regular season because really this is where

13
00:00:45,880 --> 00:00:50,519
Speaker 1: we make our enormous salaries, uh well into the seven figures,

14
00:00:50,560 --> 00:00:52,960
Speaker 1: all of us, so you know you're gonna get really

15
00:00:53,040 --> 00:00:56,840
Speaker 1: high quality content. I think it's the flagship, flagship production

16
00:00:56,880 --> 00:00:59,800
Speaker 1: of the entire NFL. I mean, where the leading podcast around.

17
00:01:00,400 --> 00:01:03,160
Speaker 1: So you know that's all that stuffs had fallen along.

18
00:01:03,360 --> 00:01:05,520
Speaker 1: There were some truths in some lies and anything that

19
00:01:05,560 --> 00:01:07,360
Speaker 1: was just the key is I think you're hitting on

20
00:01:07,400 --> 00:01:10,160
Speaker 1: the point that the NFL media is building all their

21
00:01:10,160 --> 00:01:15,360
Speaker 1: empire around podcasts without telling us stuff. So, yes, the

22
00:01:15,400 --> 00:01:17,520
Speaker 1: reason why it's the flagship show because this is the

23
00:01:17,520 --> 00:01:20,880
Speaker 1: show where we go over all the games, uh that

24
00:01:20,959 --> 00:01:23,679
Speaker 1: happened on Sunday, and it was a very exciting Sunday

25
00:01:23,680 --> 00:01:26,280
Speaker 1: of football. And we tend a lot of big plays,

26
00:01:26,680 --> 00:01:36,080
Speaker 1: some major i'll say narratives being furthered that's all I got. Yeah,

27
00:01:36,640 --> 00:01:39,480
Speaker 1: Dave does like narratives, yes, So yeah, a lot to

28
00:01:39,520 --> 00:01:41,240
Speaker 1: get to at the top of the show, and we're

29
00:01:41,240 --> 00:01:43,040
Speaker 1: not gonna waste any time because we're gonna get into

30
00:01:43,040 --> 00:01:47,160
Speaker 1: it in a couple of minutes. Giants Patriots, um, greg

31
00:01:47,560 --> 00:01:49,080
Speaker 1: a team that's been a thorn in your side for

32
00:01:49,120 --> 00:01:53,040
Speaker 1: many a year. A big showdown at the Metal Ends.

33
00:01:53,080 --> 00:01:57,080
Speaker 1: So we'll talk about that first game up. Second, Peyton Manning,

34
00:01:57,600 --> 00:01:59,360
Speaker 1: we're gonna get to that a little later in the show.

35
00:01:59,760 --> 00:02:04,440
Speaker 1: On the lowest moments of his majestic career occurred on

36
00:02:04,480 --> 00:02:07,600
Speaker 1: Sunday in Denver, and of course the Sunday night football

37
00:02:07,640 --> 00:02:11,840
Speaker 1: game between our team of around the NFL, the Arizona

38
00:02:11,880 --> 00:02:16,120
Speaker 1: Cardinals and the Seattle Seahawks. So we'll recap and give

39
00:02:16,160 --> 00:02:18,919
Speaker 1: analysis of that game. All that's coming up on today's show.

40
00:02:19,480 --> 00:02:22,200
Speaker 1: It's so full not to mention Colleen Wolfe coming in,

41
00:02:22,320 --> 00:02:24,680
Speaker 1: which is always Connie Fox comes in. We gotta talk

42
00:02:24,720 --> 00:02:27,280
Speaker 1: to Connie Fox about someone she gets here about a

43
00:02:27,320 --> 00:02:31,880
Speaker 1: little get together at Hansas Manor on Saturday night and

44
00:02:31,880 --> 00:02:35,880
Speaker 1: and Connie had an issue, so we'll get to that. Um. Yes,

45
00:02:35,960 --> 00:02:38,320
Speaker 1: so all that coming up, and you know, before we

46
00:02:38,360 --> 00:02:40,919
Speaker 1: get into anything, we just do want to, of course

47
00:02:41,120 --> 00:02:45,240
Speaker 1: call attention to what happened in Paris on Friday, the

48
00:02:45,360 --> 00:02:48,920
Speaker 1: terrible terrorists attacks that went down there. And I know

49
00:02:49,000 --> 00:02:52,440
Speaker 1: we have a TD alerted me to this before the

50
00:02:52,440 --> 00:02:55,520
Speaker 1: start of the show. We have a big listenership in France,

51
00:02:55,919 --> 00:02:59,959
Speaker 1: so obviously, uh, all of friends and Paris in our

52
00:03:00,000 --> 00:03:03,519
Speaker 1: thoughts after a really terrible situation that went down there.

53
00:03:03,680 --> 00:03:08,640
Speaker 1: So that's it. Let's get to the football, to the

54
00:03:08,639 --> 00:03:11,280
Speaker 1: football games. That's it. Let's move on, and we will

55
00:03:11,320 --> 00:03:16,040
Speaker 1: start with the game between the New York Giants and

56
00:03:16,080 --> 00:03:18,799
Speaker 1: the knowing of Patriots, who faced their biggest test of

57
00:03:18,880 --> 00:03:22,079
Speaker 1: the season, and not surprisingly, it came from the Giants.

58
00:03:22,080 --> 00:03:25,680
Speaker 1: Stephen Gastowski hit a game winning field goal with one

59
00:03:25,680 --> 00:03:29,399
Speaker 1: second to play. It was the difference in a win

60
00:03:30,080 --> 00:03:32,680
Speaker 1: for the Patriots to move them to nine and Oh Greg.

61
00:03:33,200 --> 00:03:37,840
Speaker 1: These these two teams seemed destined to play awesome games forever.

62
00:03:38,040 --> 00:03:41,720
Speaker 1: All five games they've played have been classics, really great games.

63
00:03:42,760 --> 00:03:44,600
Speaker 1: This might be the last one with Tom Brady. I

64
00:03:44,680 --> 00:03:46,839
Speaker 1: know he says he's gonna play until fift You don't

65
00:03:46,840 --> 00:03:49,400
Speaker 1: see him every four years. I heard some Giants fan

66
00:03:49,480 --> 00:03:52,080
Speaker 1: honking like this is like two thousand and eleven, we'll

67
00:03:52,120 --> 00:03:54,080
Speaker 1: get them back, or this is like two thousand seven,

68
00:03:54,080 --> 00:03:55,560
Speaker 1: we'll get them back in the Super Bowl. I don't

69
00:03:55,560 --> 00:03:57,880
Speaker 1: think so with this Giants defense. But the Giants looked

70
00:03:57,880 --> 00:04:00,400
Speaker 1: like the better team today. This was the game of

71
00:04:00,440 --> 00:04:02,160
Speaker 1: the year to me. It had a little bit of everything.

72
00:04:02,160 --> 00:04:04,920
Speaker 1: If you're watching on YouTube, you're seeing the longest catch

73
00:04:05,120 --> 00:04:08,320
Speaker 1: of Rob Gronkowski's career. You saw the longest play given

74
00:04:08,400 --> 00:04:10,960
Speaker 1: up in the Bill Belichick era. That was by Odell Beckham.

75
00:04:11,240 --> 00:04:13,920
Speaker 1: You saw, I think the best performance by a cornerback

76
00:04:13,920 --> 00:04:17,320
Speaker 1: I've seen all year after that Backham catch was Malcolm

77
00:04:17,400 --> 00:04:19,360
Speaker 1: Butler Today. He was the m v P I think

78
00:04:19,400 --> 00:04:21,599
Speaker 1: for the Patriots and it was fitting. He knocked the

79
00:04:21,600 --> 00:04:23,440
Speaker 1: ball out of Beckham's hand when it looks like they

80
00:04:23,560 --> 00:04:25,840
Speaker 1: scored a touchdown late in the game. You hear about

81
00:04:25,839 --> 00:04:28,200
Speaker 1: what the Super Bowl champion gets the best of every

82
00:04:28,240 --> 00:04:30,520
Speaker 1: team week after week, and with New England this year,

83
00:04:30,560 --> 00:04:32,640
Speaker 1: it has not seen that way. I mean, teams have

84
00:04:32,760 --> 00:04:35,159
Speaker 1: been lined up like bowling pins to get knocked over.

85
00:04:35,480 --> 00:04:37,960
Speaker 1: This was the game, though, where New York seemed to

86
00:04:38,000 --> 00:04:41,200
Speaker 1: want this as badly as any game they played all season.

87
00:04:41,600 --> 00:04:43,440
Speaker 1: And they were a different team for most of this

88
00:04:43,480 --> 00:04:45,360
Speaker 1: game than we've seen and most of the others. They

89
00:04:45,360 --> 00:04:48,160
Speaker 1: were up ten points in the third quarter, they were

90
00:04:48,240 --> 00:04:50,680
Speaker 1: up two different times in the fourth quarter. Once the

91
00:04:50,680 --> 00:04:54,000
Speaker 1: Patriots lost Julian Edelman at the end of the first quarter.

92
00:04:54,240 --> 00:04:56,520
Speaker 1: They couldn't move the ball. I mean, that's why the

93
00:04:57,120 --> 00:04:59,840
Speaker 1: field goal drive that Brady put together to ultimately win

94
00:05:00,120 --> 00:05:02,640
Speaker 1: game at the end of the game was by no

95
00:05:02,760 --> 00:05:05,240
Speaker 1: means guaranteed, because they were struggling to move the ball

96
00:05:05,279 --> 00:05:07,200
Speaker 1: all day. And I think as as great as this

97
00:05:07,240 --> 00:05:10,479
Speaker 1: win was, it starts to show, Okay, the Patriots are

98
00:05:10,520 --> 00:05:13,080
Speaker 1: down their top two tackles. They're down Julian Edelman and

99
00:05:13,120 --> 00:05:16,680
Speaker 1: Dion Lewis. They're missing Jamie Collins today. He should be back,

100
00:05:16,720 --> 00:05:18,760
Speaker 1: but Julian Edelman has a broken bone in his foot.

101
00:05:18,800 --> 00:05:20,920
Speaker 1: Who knows when he'll be back, but these are significant

102
00:05:20,960 --> 00:05:24,120
Speaker 1: loss we're hearing. Yeah, initial reports out there is that

103
00:05:24,160 --> 00:05:28,560
Speaker 1: he could be sidelined into the postseason, which obviously changes

104
00:05:28,600 --> 00:05:30,200
Speaker 1: a lot of what they do. And you're gonna guess

105
00:05:30,360 --> 00:05:36,760
Speaker 1: ask a lot more. Danny Edelman, use West's boy, by

106
00:05:36,800 --> 00:05:38,440
Speaker 1: the way, has had a lot of big moments for

107
00:05:38,440 --> 00:05:41,200
Speaker 1: the Patriots. Fourth and ten at the twenty yard line

108
00:05:41,240 --> 00:05:43,760
Speaker 1: here needing a field goal. Who does Brady go to?

109
00:05:43,880 --> 00:05:46,600
Speaker 1: He goes to Amundola with needing yards to set up

110
00:05:46,600 --> 00:05:49,480
Speaker 1: the Gustkowski kick. Who does he go to Amundola who

111
00:05:49,480 --> 00:05:51,560
Speaker 1: makes a great cut to set up the field goal.

112
00:05:51,680 --> 00:05:53,600
Speaker 1: He's made a lot of big plays for the Patriots,

113
00:05:53,600 --> 00:05:55,960
Speaker 1: and I think he's not quite the athlete that Julian

114
00:05:56,040 --> 00:05:57,800
Speaker 1: Edelman is. I think Edelman is one of the most

115
00:05:57,839 --> 00:06:00,320
Speaker 1: underrated athletes in the league. But the draw up off

116
00:06:00,320 --> 00:06:02,640
Speaker 1: from Julian Edelman to Danny Amendola is not nearly a

117
00:06:02,640 --> 00:06:05,960
Speaker 1: severe has to drop off from Dion Lewis to James

118
00:06:05,960 --> 00:06:08,960
Speaker 1: White and Brandon Bowen. But I but now you're testing

119
00:06:09,000 --> 00:06:12,160
Speaker 1: their depth. But you take away what Amondola was great

120
00:06:12,200 --> 00:06:14,440
Speaker 1: in his role as like the third receiver, and now

121
00:06:14,520 --> 00:06:17,000
Speaker 1: he has to step up one and now you're looking

122
00:06:17,040 --> 00:06:20,360
Speaker 1: at who like Aaron Dobson or Scott Chandler. It makes

123
00:06:20,360 --> 00:06:22,840
Speaker 1: it easier for defensive coordinators the game plan when you

124
00:06:22,880 --> 00:06:26,440
Speaker 1: take away Edelman and Dean Lewis and Greg You did

125
00:06:26,480 --> 00:06:30,000
Speaker 1: have a good call on our previous show where you said,

126
00:06:30,279 --> 00:06:33,839
Speaker 1: don't get excited fantasy owners to go get White and

127
00:06:33,880 --> 00:06:36,279
Speaker 1: added plug him into that backfield because there is no

128
00:06:36,640 --> 00:06:40,479
Speaker 1: Dion Lewis replacement coming. So yeah, without Dion Lewis or

129
00:06:40,760 --> 00:06:43,839
Speaker 1: or Edelman, this is going to be a real challenge.

130
00:06:44,160 --> 00:06:47,440
Speaker 1: And I think Brady's the guy that can overcome anything.

131
00:06:47,480 --> 00:06:49,600
Speaker 1: But this is a big deal. I mean, Edelman is

132
00:06:49,640 --> 00:06:52,039
Speaker 1: going to change a lot of what they do, but

133
00:06:52,080 --> 00:06:54,719
Speaker 1: they've we've seen Brady when even with the talent that

134
00:06:54,800 --> 00:06:58,080
Speaker 1: remains the healthy players, he's won super Bowls with lesser

135
00:06:58,160 --> 00:07:01,960
Speaker 1: teams on offense. And that's why this this win. It

136
00:07:02,080 --> 00:07:04,560
Speaker 1: was exciting to watch as a fan and it reminded

137
00:07:04,600 --> 00:07:06,560
Speaker 1: me of those oh three oh four some of the

138
00:07:06,560 --> 00:07:08,679
Speaker 1: wins that he would put together. Then because it wasn't

139
00:07:08,720 --> 00:07:11,320
Speaker 1: his best game of the season. He threw an interception

140
00:07:11,360 --> 00:07:13,320
Speaker 1: on the goal line with just under five minutes to go.

141
00:07:13,600 --> 00:07:15,640
Speaker 1: That was after a penalty wiped out a La Garrett

142
00:07:15,640 --> 00:07:18,680
Speaker 1: blunt play. He should have thrown an interception on the

143
00:07:18,680 --> 00:07:20,560
Speaker 1: game winning field goal drive. On the first play of

144
00:07:20,600 --> 00:07:22,080
Speaker 1: the drive, he threw a duck in the middle of

145
00:07:22,080 --> 00:07:26,040
Speaker 1: the field and Giants lost on gregspins a tough stretch.

146
00:07:26,120 --> 00:07:28,200
Speaker 1: We got it. Let's let's acknowledge that. I'm just saying

147
00:07:28,200 --> 00:07:30,560
Speaker 1: it wasn't his best game. But in the end, on

148
00:07:30,640 --> 00:07:33,640
Speaker 1: the fourth down play, on when he needed in absolute

149
00:07:33,800 --> 00:07:36,880
Speaker 1: yards at the end, he somehow got it and found

150
00:07:36,880 --> 00:07:41,200
Speaker 1: a way to win a tough game. Gutty performance by

151
00:07:41,240 --> 00:07:45,520
Speaker 1: the entire Patriots. Nay, the entire New England region should

152
00:07:45,560 --> 00:07:49,760
Speaker 1: be padded on the head for another stertling effort. Much

153
00:07:50,240 --> 00:07:53,720
Speaker 1: much better performance than by the Giants fan who shall

154
00:07:53,760 --> 00:07:57,760
Speaker 1: rename name nameless here who came over and started honking

155
00:07:57,840 --> 00:07:59,880
Speaker 1: right when he thought the Giants had already won that game.

156
00:08:00,120 --> 00:08:03,360
Speaker 1: They were sitting right on the goal line, and I

157
00:08:03,400 --> 00:08:05,920
Speaker 1: give Tom Coughlin, I don't blame him for going for

158
00:08:05,960 --> 00:08:08,080
Speaker 1: it and throwing the ball. They didn't waste time, but

159
00:08:08,160 --> 00:08:11,320
Speaker 1: that decision ended up costing them. Beckham could not hold

160
00:08:11,360 --> 00:08:14,160
Speaker 1: onto the ball. The clock was stopped at two o one,

161
00:08:14,720 --> 00:08:18,160
Speaker 1: ended up giving the Patriots. An extra forty seconds stopped him.

162
00:08:18,480 --> 00:08:20,600
Speaker 1: There was a catch, by the way, you thought it

163
00:08:20,640 --> 00:08:23,960
Speaker 1: was a catch, of course it was no. Well, I

164
00:08:24,000 --> 00:08:26,280
Speaker 1: have no idea what. Nobody knows what it catches. But

165
00:08:26,320 --> 00:08:28,400
Speaker 1: he caught the ball. We're watching it if you're on YouTube.

166
00:08:28,440 --> 00:08:30,360
Speaker 1: We were watching the replay, and to me, it's there's

167
00:08:30,400 --> 00:08:33,400
Speaker 1: the catch. That's when it's a catch. If that's in

168
00:08:33,440 --> 00:08:35,240
Speaker 1: the middle of the field, there's no way that's a catch.

169
00:08:35,280 --> 00:08:37,480
Speaker 1: Why would that be a catch? It probably because he

170
00:08:37,520 --> 00:08:39,800
Speaker 1: caught the ball, but he doesn't hit the ground at all.

171
00:08:39,880 --> 00:08:42,280
Speaker 1: I don't think this one was so stupid of a rule.

172
00:08:42,320 --> 00:08:44,160
Speaker 1: You could see catches the ball and turns, and I mean,

173
00:08:44,160 --> 00:08:46,160
Speaker 1: how is it different than golden tape. Yeah, it's the

174
00:08:46,200 --> 00:08:50,079
Speaker 1: same exact thing as Tate. No Tate was coming into

175
00:08:50,080 --> 00:08:55,040
Speaker 1: the end zone. It is very what then explanation was

176
00:08:55,080 --> 00:08:57,600
Speaker 1: that the ball was knocked out as just before the

177
00:08:57,679 --> 00:09:05,480
Speaker 1: second foot was established. But you know, I didn't think

178
00:09:05,480 --> 00:09:08,000
Speaker 1: this was I would have been stunned if they hadn't

179
00:09:08,000 --> 00:09:10,120
Speaker 1: reversed it. It was weird that they called it that

180
00:09:10,160 --> 00:09:12,120
Speaker 1: way on the field. I didn't think this would spark

181
00:09:12,120 --> 00:09:15,439
Speaker 1: another controversy. Of course, nobody has any idea would to

182
00:09:15,480 --> 00:09:18,280
Speaker 1: catch you? Hear me out on this great played by Butler, though,

183
00:09:18,280 --> 00:09:21,679
Speaker 1: who's making plays like that? A game? Okay, got it?

184
00:09:22,480 --> 00:09:24,640
Speaker 1: If you held out to it with those strong myths,

185
00:09:24,679 --> 00:09:26,800
Speaker 1: they win the game. He blamed himself after it. He's

186
00:09:26,840 --> 00:09:28,560
Speaker 1: a great young corner. Now hear me out of this.

187
00:09:28,640 --> 00:09:31,480
Speaker 1: Greg at nine and oh, you're no. Seven away, seven

188
00:09:31,520 --> 00:09:33,560
Speaker 1: away from going sixteen and O for a second time,

189
00:09:34,440 --> 00:09:36,559
Speaker 1: was party is like, maybe it would have been okay

190
00:09:36,559 --> 00:09:39,640
Speaker 1: to lose. Get that loss out of I don't have

191
00:09:39,640 --> 00:09:41,880
Speaker 1: so much pressure on them by Jack. I agree if I,

192
00:09:41,880 --> 00:09:43,560
Speaker 1: if I had to choose, I'd rather be fifty one.

193
00:09:43,679 --> 00:09:45,240
Speaker 1: But they'll lose one. I don't. I don't think that's

194
00:09:45,280 --> 00:09:47,560
Speaker 1: that big a concern. That's what happened. The injuries are

195
00:09:47,600 --> 00:09:52,760
Speaker 1: far more of a concern than some kind of undefeated season. Yeah,

196
00:09:53,160 --> 00:09:57,920
Speaker 1: let us move on to another undefeated team, the Carolina Panthers,

197
00:09:57,960 --> 00:10:00,319
Speaker 1: a former team of a t L and if fishing.

198
00:10:00,400 --> 00:10:05,880
Speaker 1: Cam Newton completed one passes, leading the Panthers to win

199
00:10:06,280 --> 00:10:10,640
Speaker 1: over the Tennessee Tytoons. The Panthers also nine and oh,

200
00:10:10,760 --> 00:10:13,320
Speaker 1: Chris Westling and you know what one thing? And I

201
00:10:13,320 --> 00:10:16,400
Speaker 1: saw in your right up. They can run on everybody

202
00:10:16,440 --> 00:10:18,840
Speaker 1: every week. Is that the key in the secret to

203
00:10:18,880 --> 00:10:20,600
Speaker 1: their success of season? Well, I think they have a

204
00:10:20,600 --> 00:10:22,760
Speaker 1: formula and it's the same formula they've had for the

205
00:10:22,840 --> 00:10:26,040
Speaker 1: last two or three years. Run the ball. They have

206
00:10:26,120 --> 00:10:29,040
Speaker 1: gone twenty consecutive games with a hundred yards rushing, which

207
00:10:29,240 --> 00:10:32,439
Speaker 1: I believe the last team to do that as Chicago Bears.

208
00:10:32,760 --> 00:10:35,400
Speaker 1: And for most of this game, the announcers were really

209
00:10:35,440 --> 00:10:38,520
Speaker 1: worried the streak was gonna end because I think forty

210
00:10:38,520 --> 00:10:40,679
Speaker 1: of those yards probably came in the fourth quarter. They

211
00:10:40,720 --> 00:10:42,760
Speaker 1: got to a hundred nineteen, but they were sitting on

212
00:10:42,840 --> 00:10:45,880
Speaker 1: sixty for a while. Um. But yeah, I think this

213
00:10:45,960 --> 00:10:48,200
Speaker 1: was a game where the Titans have a better defense

214
00:10:48,200 --> 00:10:51,079
Speaker 1: than everybody thinks. They sacked Newton five times and the

215
00:10:51,200 --> 00:10:54,680
Speaker 1: Panthers still won by seventeen points. They I give I've

216
00:10:54,720 --> 00:10:56,880
Speaker 1: given Mike Seula a lot of grief over the years.

217
00:10:57,240 --> 00:10:59,560
Speaker 1: We should give him some credit because they're running game.

218
00:11:00,080 --> 00:11:03,240
Speaker 1: People talk about the passing game hasn't necessarily taken strides,

219
00:11:03,280 --> 00:11:05,199
Speaker 1: and it has this season, but their running game is

220
00:11:05,240 --> 00:11:09,640
Speaker 1: probably as complex and varied as any running game out there.

221
00:11:09,640 --> 00:11:12,760
Speaker 1: Between Newton and Stewart, just the different looks that they

222
00:11:12,840 --> 00:11:15,560
Speaker 1: give opponents week after week a lot of the ender.

223
00:11:15,600 --> 00:11:17,480
Speaker 1: I mean, just everything they do in the running game

224
00:11:17,559 --> 00:11:20,400
Speaker 1: is very tough to prepare for. Mike Sula privately confided

225
00:11:20,440 --> 00:11:23,440
Speaker 1: to me that he despises you. Well, I was on

226
00:11:23,480 --> 00:11:26,840
Speaker 1: the couch today with Damna Scheck and his circus of friends,

227
00:11:26,920 --> 00:11:30,400
Speaker 1: and mg D asked about that Rose and the show

228
00:11:30,960 --> 00:11:36,839
Speaker 1: NFL Blitz package. I don't know now Sunday Blitz every

229
00:11:36,880 --> 00:11:39,160
Speaker 1: Sunday at ten am, all day. All right, Well, Greg,

230
00:11:39,280 --> 00:11:41,000
Speaker 1: let's not get away from the point. M j D

231
00:11:41,240 --> 00:11:43,600
Speaker 1: was coming after you about something you said about Shula

232
00:11:43,880 --> 00:11:46,720
Speaker 1: way back when three He has like four different button

233
00:11:46,800 --> 00:11:49,640
Speaker 1: D presses, one for each guy, and that's you know,

234
00:11:49,720 --> 00:11:51,959
Speaker 1: specific thing he says about that guy, m j D.

235
00:11:52,120 --> 00:11:56,440
Speaker 1: That is That's my criticism NFL now Sunday Game Day Blitz.

236
00:11:57,120 --> 00:12:00,800
Speaker 1: Is that it game Day Blitz, Game Day Blitz. All right.

237
00:12:01,280 --> 00:12:02,760
Speaker 1: We got it. We got it that we thought the

238
00:12:02,760 --> 00:12:04,960
Speaker 1: Titans might be frisky in this game, and I guess

239
00:12:04,960 --> 00:12:07,000
Speaker 1: they were. It was a one score game for a while.

240
00:12:08,600 --> 00:12:12,199
Speaker 1: Mariotta and Mariota and Newton both came out firing and

241
00:12:12,440 --> 00:12:14,760
Speaker 1: both looked great in the first quarter, first quarter and

242
00:12:14,800 --> 00:12:18,120
Speaker 1: a half. Second half, the defenses took over, but yeah,

243
00:12:18,160 --> 00:12:20,080
Speaker 1: Mariota looked pretty good. And then then the second half,

244
00:12:20,120 --> 00:12:23,120
Speaker 1: I believe they had an interception which was more Dorial

245
00:12:23,160 --> 00:12:27,079
Speaker 1: Greenback was fault three punts and then mccluster fumbled on

246
00:12:27,120 --> 00:12:29,880
Speaker 1: their last drive, so they basically didn't score a point

247
00:12:29,920 --> 00:12:31,679
Speaker 1: in the second half of the game. Mariotta was do

248
00:12:31,840 --> 00:12:34,280
Speaker 1: some bad luck after last week and that he should

249
00:12:34,280 --> 00:12:36,600
Speaker 1: give back that player of the Week ord I've never seen,

250
00:12:36,679 --> 00:12:38,760
Speaker 1: and that was the luckiest thing I've ever seen. It

251
00:12:38,800 --> 00:12:41,920
Speaker 1: didn't do anything to score seventeen points in that game. Um,

252
00:12:41,960 --> 00:12:44,520
Speaker 1: Brandon behind the glass? Do we have Cam Newton got

253
00:12:44,559 --> 00:12:46,760
Speaker 1: himself in a little more drama this week that we

254
00:12:46,800 --> 00:12:49,760
Speaker 1: can just touch on that, uh for a second, because

255
00:12:49,800 --> 00:12:53,520
Speaker 1: of course we had last week banner Gate, which I

256
00:12:53,559 --> 00:12:57,160
Speaker 1: feel like has been swept under the rug collectively by society,

257
00:12:57,280 --> 00:13:02,199
Speaker 1: which is bogus because Mike Dobbs deserved a better army man.

258
00:13:02,320 --> 00:13:04,520
Speaker 1: You want us to keep talking about it. And now

259
00:13:04,800 --> 00:13:07,840
Speaker 1: we moved flash forward one week now Cam getting his

260
00:13:07,840 --> 00:13:11,720
Speaker 1: opponent's upset. Uh. If you're watching on YouTube, you could

261
00:13:11,760 --> 00:13:15,080
Speaker 1: check this out. He scrambles into the end zone and

262
00:13:15,120 --> 00:13:17,400
Speaker 1: then does what West would call a little bit of preening.

263
00:13:18,880 --> 00:13:22,000
Speaker 1: He's the best prener in sports. He's breaking it down.

264
00:13:22,040 --> 00:13:23,880
Speaker 1: He's doing a little day hold on, he's not even

265
00:13:23,920 --> 00:13:26,880
Speaker 1: done preening yet. I know he's doing some dancing. Why

266
00:13:26,920 --> 00:13:29,080
Speaker 1: does that make people mad? He just clinched the game.

267
00:13:29,400 --> 00:13:33,400
Speaker 1: Well after it is funny because he's a quarterback. Stop

268
00:13:34,200 --> 00:13:37,000
Speaker 1: if after the game he was asked about it, of

269
00:13:37,080 --> 00:13:38,760
Speaker 1: course says like, if you don't want me to pren

270
00:13:39,360 --> 00:13:41,560
Speaker 1: that's not what his wording was, but don't let me

271
00:13:41,600 --> 00:13:43,440
Speaker 1: get in the end zone, which I get it. Listen,

272
00:13:43,440 --> 00:13:45,600
Speaker 1: there's a lot of swagger in Carolina, and then they

273
00:13:45,640 --> 00:13:48,440
Speaker 1: deserve to be have swagger because they are nine and oh.

274
00:13:48,520 --> 00:13:50,959
Speaker 1: That I think is three and oh or four and

275
00:13:51,040 --> 00:13:53,880
Speaker 1: oh or six and nine and oh is a significant

276
00:13:54,120 --> 00:13:56,360
Speaker 1: sports in the schedule without a loss, they could do

277
00:13:56,360 --> 00:13:58,000
Speaker 1: whatever they want. A ton of people seem to not

278
00:13:58,200 --> 00:14:01,439
Speaker 1: be taking them seriously. Still, like we're talking about New

279
00:14:01,440 --> 00:14:03,240
Speaker 1: England's nine and oh they're going to march into the

280
00:14:03,280 --> 00:14:05,559
Speaker 1: Super Bowl and go undefeated. Well that's because they've done

281
00:14:05,559 --> 00:14:08,080
Speaker 1: it before. But with Carolina, it's this new team. Even

282
00:14:08,120 --> 00:14:10,120
Speaker 1: though they're not new at all, they've been kicking people's

283
00:14:10,120 --> 00:14:12,320
Speaker 1: butts for a couple of seasons. Now it does feel

284
00:14:12,360 --> 00:14:15,200
Speaker 1: they feel different though, well they are different, but it's

285
00:14:15,240 --> 00:14:16,920
Speaker 1: just that to go nine and know in the NFL

286
00:14:16,960 --> 00:14:19,320
Speaker 1: and then two games some good teams, two games up

287
00:14:19,320 --> 00:14:21,320
Speaker 1: on on the one seed. My favorite part of the

288
00:14:21,360 --> 00:14:25,040
Speaker 1: Cam taunting was when I think it was Avery Williamson

289
00:14:25,120 --> 00:14:27,160
Speaker 1: was it who came over and got upset and started

290
00:14:27,160 --> 00:14:30,280
Speaker 1: getting and at that point then Cam responded with an

291
00:14:30,320 --> 00:14:32,880
Speaker 1: extra little celebration right back at him in his face,

292
00:14:32,960 --> 00:14:35,640
Speaker 1: like that's I'm gonna shoot you with my This is

293
00:14:35,680 --> 00:14:39,480
Speaker 1: not a major issue in sports. But he's allowed to

294
00:14:39,640 --> 00:14:42,000
Speaker 1: have fun and go out and do whatever he wants

295
00:14:42,000 --> 00:14:44,040
Speaker 1: while having fun on the field, and I'm allowed to

296
00:14:44,080 --> 00:14:48,080
Speaker 1: not like that. That's his idea, right, that's very fair. Great.

297
00:14:48,120 --> 00:14:52,400
Speaker 1: Can I see you do that dancing back at the camera.

298
00:14:52,520 --> 00:14:55,680
Speaker 1: I'm not looking at anything. It's pretty good. It's not

299
00:14:55,720 --> 00:14:59,040
Speaker 1: a bad cam dance. Uh yeah. Anything else from this

300
00:14:59,080 --> 00:15:02,080
Speaker 1: game was no, We've covered it all. Let's move on

301
00:15:02,800 --> 00:15:07,280
Speaker 1: to the Denver Broncos, who were undefeated as well. Last week.

302
00:15:07,560 --> 00:15:09,520
Speaker 1: They went down and now they have the Kansas City

303
00:15:09,600 --> 00:15:12,640
Speaker 1: Chiefs at home. Peyton Manning is gonna set some records

304
00:15:12,760 --> 00:15:15,160
Speaker 1: and everyone's gonna have a good old time. It didn't

305
00:15:15,160 --> 00:15:17,440
Speaker 1: work out that way because on the same day that

306
00:15:17,480 --> 00:15:20,360
Speaker 1: Manning did set the all time passing yardage record, uh,

307
00:15:20,400 --> 00:15:22,960
Speaker 1: he did it on the worst day of his professional

308
00:15:23,000 --> 00:15:26,520
Speaker 1: career in terms of statistics. Manning through four interceptions and

309
00:15:26,680 --> 00:15:31,880
Speaker 1: was benched in Denver's loss to the rising Chiefs West.

310
00:15:32,000 --> 00:15:34,280
Speaker 1: Just when we thought Manning was turning the season around,

311
00:15:34,960 --> 00:15:38,520
Speaker 1: this happens. What gives. Yeah, Peyton Manning is gonna drive

312
00:15:38,560 --> 00:15:41,200
Speaker 1: the story on this, But this was an absolute beat

313
00:15:41,240 --> 00:15:43,920
Speaker 1: down from the Chiefs. That's to me just as big

314
00:15:43,920 --> 00:15:45,600
Speaker 1: as a story that the Chiefs were up twenty nine

315
00:15:45,600 --> 00:15:48,880
Speaker 1: and nothing and the Broncos got thirteen points because it

316
00:15:48,920 --> 00:15:51,680
Speaker 1: was garbage time, whereas Connie Fox would say junk time.

317
00:15:52,040 --> 00:15:55,239
Speaker 1: But this was the Chiefs just totally dismantling the Broncos.

318
00:15:55,640 --> 00:16:00,800
Speaker 1: Five completions for Manning, four interceptions, he got innched for

319
00:16:00,920 --> 00:16:05,360
Speaker 1: performance reasons for brock Osweiler. It's like, I mean, that's

320
00:16:05,400 --> 00:16:08,240
Speaker 1: an amazing thing that we're just accepting. Okay, this somewhat

321
00:16:08,240 --> 00:16:11,240
Speaker 1: fits in the arc of this season. That's a crazy

322
00:16:11,320 --> 00:16:13,440
Speaker 1: thing that just happened out there. And then it's the

323
00:16:13,480 --> 00:16:16,480
Speaker 1: game not crazy, though, considering some of the lower EBB

324
00:16:16,520 --> 00:16:19,000
Speaker 1: moments we've seen from Manning this season, it feels like

325
00:16:19,040 --> 00:16:21,560
Speaker 1: this game was coming at some point. I totally agree

326
00:16:21,600 --> 00:16:23,800
Speaker 1: with Mark. I know Greg's gonna point to the injuries

327
00:16:23,800 --> 00:16:26,080
Speaker 1: and say this game is way different than anything we've

328
00:16:26,080 --> 00:16:28,800
Speaker 1: seen from Peyton Manning. It's just the bad throws we've

329
00:16:28,800 --> 00:16:31,480
Speaker 1: seen from Peyton Manning extended over two and a half

330
00:16:31,600 --> 00:16:34,200
Speaker 1: quarters instead of four or five throws and sing because

331
00:16:34,200 --> 00:16:35,840
Speaker 1: he's coming off his two best games of the year

332
00:16:35,880 --> 00:16:38,240
Speaker 1: in a row. Last was not one of his best.

333
00:16:38,440 --> 00:16:41,240
Speaker 1: A couple of unbelievable throws in that game. They put

334
00:16:41,280 --> 00:16:42,480
Speaker 1: up a lot of yards. I don't think he had

335
00:16:42,480 --> 00:16:44,440
Speaker 1: a bad game. That's how bad at season has been.

336
00:16:44,560 --> 00:16:46,640
Speaker 1: That's the second best game for this game to come

337
00:16:46,680 --> 00:16:49,000
Speaker 1: after that. I mean, there was an injury problem. He

338
00:16:49,040 --> 00:16:51,040
Speaker 1: was on the injury report. Gary Kubiak said after the

339
00:16:51,080 --> 00:16:53,720
Speaker 1: game he was I'm sure the injuries were an issue.

340
00:16:53,760 --> 00:16:56,240
Speaker 1: I think they were, But Peyton Manning has had this

341
00:16:56,320 --> 00:16:58,040
Speaker 1: game in him. I think it was waiting to come out.

342
00:16:58,200 --> 00:17:01,240
Speaker 1: After the game, Gary Kubiak had this to say, falling

343
00:17:01,240 --> 00:17:04,439
Speaker 1: on the sword came out of practice Friday Saturdays as

344
00:17:04,480 --> 00:17:06,600
Speaker 1: y'all know, his ribs were brought him a little bit,

345
00:17:07,080 --> 00:17:09,400
Speaker 1: and I probably should have right there said, you know, no,

346
00:17:09,640 --> 00:17:11,480
Speaker 1: we're not he's not gonna go this week. But I

347
00:17:12,040 --> 00:17:14,960
Speaker 1: you know, he's a competitor. He wanted to play. Key

348
00:17:15,119 --> 00:17:17,800
Speaker 1: was out, Marcus was out, he wanted to go. He

349
00:17:17,840 --> 00:17:21,240
Speaker 1: felt like he could go. But I'm disappointed myself because

350
00:17:21,280 --> 00:17:23,840
Speaker 1: I probably should have made that decision yesterday and I didn't,

351
00:17:23,840 --> 00:17:27,760
Speaker 1: So it's on me. You know, that's a coach sticking

352
00:17:27,840 --> 00:17:29,880
Speaker 1: up for his player and trying to deflect the heat.

353
00:17:30,119 --> 00:17:31,879
Speaker 1: I guess that's part of what the coach is supposed

354
00:17:31,880 --> 00:17:34,200
Speaker 1: to do, but that doesn't change the fact that Manning

355
00:17:34,240 --> 00:17:36,560
Speaker 1: did not look competitive and this is a major problem

356
00:17:36,560 --> 00:17:38,919
Speaker 1: for this team. Yeah. I mean also, he again, like

357
00:17:39,000 --> 00:17:42,120
Speaker 1: we've been saying, the throws that came today, we've seen

358
00:17:42,160 --> 00:17:44,800
Speaker 1: evidence of this all season long, whether he's healthy or not.

359
00:17:44,960 --> 00:17:48,080
Speaker 1: Right now, we were the last time they played. We

360
00:17:48,080 --> 00:17:50,560
Speaker 1: were all talking about how he was looking a lot

361
00:17:50,640 --> 00:17:52,959
Speaker 1: better and maybe he was turning the corner and they

362
00:17:52,960 --> 00:17:54,760
Speaker 1: were gonna be okay, and they got Vernon Davis in

363
00:17:54,800 --> 00:17:58,200
Speaker 1: the building. So for me, this was surprising to see

364
00:17:58,359 --> 00:18:01,760
Speaker 1: him regress so complete. Lee and fall off the chart

365
00:18:01,760 --> 00:18:03,919
Speaker 1: the way you did. If I'm the Broncos, I know

366
00:18:04,080 --> 00:18:07,320
Speaker 1: that my season is in serious peril because there's no

367
00:18:07,400 --> 00:18:11,400
Speaker 1: solution here. Manning afterwards said he blames his bad decisions

368
00:18:11,400 --> 00:18:15,000
Speaker 1: more than any injury or anything like that, and a

369
00:18:15,040 --> 00:18:17,960
Speaker 1: couple of the interceptions were thrown where he just didn't

370
00:18:17,960 --> 00:18:21,400
Speaker 1: see a guy in his own coverage. Essentially, I don't

371
00:18:21,400 --> 00:18:22,920
Speaker 1: know if that, I don't know how you can blame

372
00:18:23,080 --> 00:18:25,240
Speaker 1: arm strength on that. And that's what he's done. Even

373
00:18:25,280 --> 00:18:27,160
Speaker 1: earlier in the season he was having he was moving

374
00:18:27,200 --> 00:18:29,320
Speaker 1: the ball fairly well, but he would make a Mark

375
00:18:29,400 --> 00:18:32,679
Speaker 1: Sanchez like interception to kill good drive. It's also a

376
00:18:32,720 --> 00:18:35,240
Speaker 1: credit to Kansas City's defense, which is, you know, we

377
00:18:35,320 --> 00:18:38,439
Speaker 1: kind of lost sight of Kansas City for a stretch

378
00:18:38,480 --> 00:18:40,159
Speaker 1: because they are four and five and this was the

379
00:18:40,240 --> 00:18:43,040
Speaker 1: biggest win of the year. But what about the fact

380
00:18:43,040 --> 00:18:45,200
Speaker 1: that a couple of weeks ago, I was touting Denver's

381
00:18:45,200 --> 00:18:48,439
Speaker 1: defense is the eighty five Bears slash two thousand Ravens.

382
00:18:48,760 --> 00:18:51,159
Speaker 1: What's happened to them over three? I mean losing you know,

383
00:18:51,240 --> 00:18:53,439
Speaker 1: the injuries of hurt then too, they were put in

384
00:18:53,480 --> 00:18:57,960
Speaker 1: horrible field position all day to day. Um, how Can.

385
00:18:58,080 --> 00:19:00,159
Speaker 1: He got four interceptions, so they're getting the ball in

386
00:19:00,200 --> 00:19:03,320
Speaker 1: their own territory. And they stopped the Chiefs on third

387
00:19:03,320 --> 00:19:05,439
Speaker 1: downs over and over again there without two of their

388
00:19:05,480 --> 00:19:07,639
Speaker 1: best defensive players in the game. It's just it's a

389
00:19:07,640 --> 00:19:09,800
Speaker 1: tough spot. And if you look at the Chiefs now,

390
00:19:09,800 --> 00:19:12,879
Speaker 1: they're they've won three in a row, four and five. Um,

391
00:19:12,920 --> 00:19:15,040
Speaker 1: you thought, you know when they lost Jamal Charles, you

392
00:19:15,080 --> 00:19:17,679
Speaker 1: think that you know they're done even on top of

393
00:19:17,680 --> 00:19:20,119
Speaker 1: the slow start to lose your best player, Greg, do

394
00:19:20,160 --> 00:19:22,840
Speaker 1: you think they could actually be in the wild card

395
00:19:22,880 --> 00:19:25,879
Speaker 1: picture by the end of the season or the picture?

396
00:19:25,960 --> 00:19:29,720
Speaker 1: Right now, they're one game back, and I think they

397
00:19:29,720 --> 00:19:31,639
Speaker 1: are playing better than any of those teams in the

398
00:19:31,640 --> 00:19:34,800
Speaker 1: wild card race. I was really impressed with Pittsburgh. I

399
00:19:34,840 --> 00:19:37,840
Speaker 1: think they are. They absolutely slaughtered Pittsburgh. I mean they've

400
00:19:37,840 --> 00:19:41,359
Speaker 1: been but they also moved the ball on offense against

401
00:19:41,359 --> 00:19:43,240
Speaker 1: Pittsburgh and held the ball for about thirty eight minutes

402
00:19:43,240 --> 00:19:45,280
Speaker 1: in that game. And I was really impressed with the

403
00:19:45,320 --> 00:19:47,800
Speaker 1: Chiefs offense in that game. Right now, I think they're

404
00:19:47,880 --> 00:19:50,160
Speaker 1: they're as good or better than any of those wild

405
00:19:50,160 --> 00:19:54,040
Speaker 1: card teams. Even if Big Ben out of the picture.

406
00:19:54,119 --> 00:19:57,320
Speaker 1: Let's say let's concede Pittsburgh getting that fifth wild card

407
00:19:57,320 --> 00:20:00,240
Speaker 1: spout or the number five spot. I agree to totally.

408
00:20:00,400 --> 00:20:03,160
Speaker 1: Not the Jets have progressed. The Raiders are up and down.

409
00:20:03,400 --> 00:20:05,920
Speaker 1: The Chiefs are you know, they're in that grouping where

410
00:20:05,960 --> 00:20:08,800
Speaker 1: you can't say those the Bills are up and down

411
00:20:08,920 --> 00:20:11,240
Speaker 1: there in that group. HEAs have a very good defense,

412
00:20:11,280 --> 00:20:13,960
Speaker 1: but they're a field goal offense in a touchdown league.

413
00:20:14,720 --> 00:20:17,840
Speaker 1: That's that's a big problem come playoff time. Yeah, they're

414
00:20:17,840 --> 00:20:20,560
Speaker 1: built to go nine and seven at their ceiling and

415
00:20:20,600 --> 00:20:22,879
Speaker 1: get whacked in the wild card game. So let's not

416
00:20:22,920 --> 00:20:25,720
Speaker 1: get too excited. I just wonder if brock Osweiler is

417
00:20:25,720 --> 00:20:28,119
Speaker 1: gonna win you some sandwiches and start a game this

418
00:20:28,160 --> 00:20:31,160
Speaker 1: season for performance reason, because when Kubiak said he regretted

419
00:20:31,160 --> 00:20:33,800
Speaker 1: it starting Peyton Manning, on one hand, yeah, that's falling

420
00:20:33,800 --> 00:20:35,960
Speaker 1: on the sword. On the other hand, I'm sure he believed.

421
00:20:35,960 --> 00:20:38,560
Speaker 1: I'm sure he really wishes he did start brock Glasswelder

422
00:20:38,600 --> 00:20:40,720
Speaker 1: because Peyton Manning gave him no chance to win, win,

423
00:20:41,920 --> 00:20:45,240
Speaker 1: win Mark some sandwiches. Because he said that brock Oswelder

424
00:20:45,280 --> 00:20:48,400
Speaker 1: will start a game this season due to performance reasons,

425
00:20:48,640 --> 00:20:50,680
Speaker 1: and that's got to be on the table and Kubiak

426
00:20:50,760 --> 00:20:53,920
Speaker 1: emphatically shut down the notion of a quarterback current of controversy.

427
00:20:53,960 --> 00:20:55,520
Speaker 1: But I don't think you can shut down the talk

428
00:20:55,560 --> 00:20:57,879
Speaker 1: in Denver this week, right there is going to be

429
00:20:57,960 --> 00:21:00,119
Speaker 1: a controversy. Well hit another game like this. You have

430
00:21:00,160 --> 00:21:02,879
Speaker 1: to start thinking about what's best for the team. Mark um,

431
00:21:03,040 --> 00:21:08,399
Speaker 1: Let's move forward. Where were you in it was a

432
00:21:08,480 --> 00:21:10,919
Speaker 1: junior in high school? Were those happy times in your

433
00:21:11,119 --> 00:21:13,280
Speaker 1: excellent times? As far as I remember, I block out

434
00:21:13,320 --> 00:21:17,000
Speaker 1: all the negativity. That's good. I like that because was

435
00:21:17,040 --> 00:21:20,200
Speaker 1: the last time that the Lions had defeated the Packers

436
00:21:20,280 --> 00:21:26,280
Speaker 1: in Green Bay until Sunday. It's ridiculous they won in

437
00:21:26,359 --> 00:21:29,920
Speaker 1: Green Bay. Mason Crosby's fifty two yard field goal attempt

438
00:21:30,200 --> 00:21:32,000
Speaker 1: didn't have a chance. It was the final play in

439
00:21:32,040 --> 00:21:36,760
Speaker 1: a Lions eighteen to sixteen win over the Green Bay Packers,

440
00:21:36,760 --> 00:21:40,840
Speaker 1: who have suddenly outrageously lost three in a row after

441
00:21:40,920 --> 00:21:44,480
Speaker 1: a six and oh start. There now in second place

442
00:21:44,520 --> 00:21:48,840
Speaker 1: in their division. Everything is going to hell in Green Bay,

443
00:21:48,920 --> 00:21:52,760
Speaker 1: and it's amazing watching this game today. It's I know

444
00:21:52,840 --> 00:21:54,560
Speaker 1: this has been going on for a few weeks now

445
00:21:54,560 --> 00:21:57,399
Speaker 1: with Green Bay's offense, but you would think at home. Okay,

446
00:21:57,600 --> 00:21:59,400
Speaker 1: now this is gonna be the game where they start

447
00:21:59,440 --> 00:22:01,480
Speaker 1: to get healthy and put some points on the board

448
00:22:01,520 --> 00:22:03,879
Speaker 1: and get you know, relax and all that all that

449
00:22:03,920 --> 00:22:07,240
Speaker 1: fun stuff. There's no reason to relax because this is

450
00:22:07,280 --> 00:22:12,760
Speaker 1: a total systemic breakdown from the um. The personnel without

451
00:22:12,800 --> 00:22:15,440
Speaker 1: Jordy Nelson is not stepping up and filling the role.

452
00:22:15,640 --> 00:22:18,960
Speaker 1: The play calling. Tom Clements. He was supposed to take

453
00:22:19,000 --> 00:22:22,040
Speaker 1: over Mike McCarthy and elevate his profile to get a

454
00:22:22,040 --> 00:22:25,440
Speaker 1: head coaching job. That's not happening right now. Aaron Rodgers,

455
00:22:26,040 --> 00:22:28,679
Speaker 1: unless he has an injury that we don't know about,

456
00:22:28,960 --> 00:22:31,280
Speaker 1: he does not look like Aaron Rodgers. Like Aaron Rodgers.

457
00:22:31,320 --> 00:22:34,359
Speaker 1: He's missing throws, which you never see him. Miss Randall

458
00:22:34,400 --> 00:22:36,480
Speaker 1: Cobb had a big drop in this game. James Jones,

459
00:22:36,480 --> 00:22:38,840
Speaker 1: who's dropped off the grid entirely in the last month,

460
00:22:38,920 --> 00:22:41,359
Speaker 1: had a big drop in this game. They just I

461
00:22:41,400 --> 00:22:44,960
Speaker 1: don't even recognize this team anymore. It's that's this is

462
00:22:45,000 --> 00:22:47,760
Speaker 1: now becoming one of the biggest surprises of the season today.

463
00:22:47,800 --> 00:22:49,919
Speaker 1: And there's a lot of things happening because you know,

464
00:22:49,960 --> 00:22:52,399
Speaker 1: go back to the preseason game against Pittsburgh when they

465
00:22:52,440 --> 00:22:56,800
Speaker 1: lost Jordy Nelson and all this talk about Davante Adams

466
00:22:56,880 --> 00:22:59,359
Speaker 1: and Time Montgomery and the other weapons that they had

467
00:22:59,400 --> 00:23:01,560
Speaker 1: groomed from in house, and there was a lot of

468
00:23:01,560 --> 00:23:04,560
Speaker 1: hopeful conversation about those guys stepping in and playing a

469
00:23:04,600 --> 00:23:07,360
Speaker 1: bigger role. But it's just not that easy to replace

470
00:23:07,760 --> 00:23:10,560
Speaker 1: an All Pro Pro Bowl type receiver like Jordy Nelson

471
00:23:10,720 --> 00:23:14,120
Speaker 1: and the chemistry he has with Rogers too. Davante Adams

472
00:23:14,119 --> 00:23:17,119
Speaker 1: turned twenty one targets into seventy nine yards. That is

473
00:23:17,119 --> 00:23:19,960
Speaker 1: one of the least efficient games bywide receiver you ever hear.

474
00:23:20,119 --> 00:23:23,840
Speaker 1: I think a part of this, part of this to

475
00:23:23,920 --> 00:23:26,840
Speaker 1: me also is and I don't want to take anything

476
00:23:26,880 --> 00:23:29,399
Speaker 1: away from Aaron Rodgers, because obviously is an all time great,

477
00:23:29,720 --> 00:23:32,840
Speaker 1: but there was a general belief that no matter what happened,

478
00:23:32,920 --> 00:23:35,840
Speaker 1: he was so good that anybody that they plugged in,

479
00:23:35,880 --> 00:23:37,920
Speaker 1: they were still going to be a thirty point of

480
00:23:38,000 --> 00:23:41,040
Speaker 1: game offense because they had a quarterback playing at that

481
00:23:41,160 --> 00:23:44,119
Speaker 1: higher level. And that's simply been exposed not to be

482
00:23:44,160 --> 00:23:46,720
Speaker 1: the case. They're vulnerable and having no running game doesn't

483
00:23:46,720 --> 00:23:48,480
Speaker 1: help either. Well, the place he was making at the

484
00:23:48,520 --> 00:23:52,159
Speaker 1: beginning of the season perhaps just weren't repeatable. They were

485
00:23:52,200 --> 00:23:55,560
Speaker 1: out of structure. I guess you would call them plays

486
00:23:55,640 --> 00:23:58,320
Speaker 1: without rageous throws. I mean he made a couple of

487
00:23:58,359 --> 00:24:01,399
Speaker 1: them last week in Carolina too, But just counting on

488
00:24:01,520 --> 00:24:04,400
Speaker 1: doing that week after week you can't really, you can't

489
00:24:04,440 --> 00:24:06,080
Speaker 1: count on that. And you look at this offense. There

490
00:24:06,080 --> 00:24:08,920
Speaker 1: were twenty five yards going into this game that will

491
00:24:08,960 --> 00:24:11,200
Speaker 1: only go down. This wasn't just a loss. This is

492
00:24:11,240 --> 00:24:14,399
Speaker 1: the loss to the worst team in the NFL. I

493
00:24:14,440 --> 00:24:16,480
Speaker 1: mean there's no doubt that the Lions were the worst team.

494
00:24:16,600 --> 00:24:20,040
Speaker 1: A terrible defense, a terrible offense to lose the Detroit

495
00:24:20,119 --> 00:24:22,760
Speaker 1: at home. And I mean, wouldn't mart the Ford say

496
00:24:22,800 --> 00:24:25,680
Speaker 1: to that Lion's team, give her the executive of the year.

497
00:24:26,080 --> 00:24:28,520
Speaker 1: She's turned this ship around. It's like major League. She

498
00:24:28,640 --> 00:24:34,040
Speaker 1: said nothing. But Detroit did every Just like the third movie,

499
00:24:34,960 --> 00:24:36,880
Speaker 1: I say, this is a new one. Mark the Ford

500
00:24:37,000 --> 00:24:40,119
Speaker 1: is taken over. Detroit did everything in its power to

501
00:24:40,119 --> 00:24:42,080
Speaker 1: blow this game. It was actually kind of hilarious to

502
00:24:42,080 --> 00:24:44,280
Speaker 1: watch because this is what bad teams do. It was

503
00:24:44,320 --> 00:24:47,120
Speaker 1: almost like they're like the Jets on steroids. Like they

504
00:24:48,000 --> 00:24:50,920
Speaker 1: got a touchdown late in the game and all Mattrater

505
00:24:51,080 --> 00:24:52,359
Speaker 1: to do is kick an extra point to make it

506
00:24:52,359 --> 00:24:55,120
Speaker 1: a two score game with two minutes of play. Game over.

507
00:24:55,520 --> 00:24:58,040
Speaker 1: He pushes it left. That was his second missed extra

508
00:24:58,040 --> 00:25:00,040
Speaker 1: point of the game. So instead of it being you

509
00:25:00,080 --> 00:25:03,600
Speaker 1: score game, it's eighteen ten. What happens and Rogers finally

510
00:25:04,160 --> 00:25:06,760
Speaker 1: gets his team in the end zone. They can't convert

511
00:25:06,760 --> 00:25:09,880
Speaker 1: the two point conversion. There's thirty seconds left, eighteen sixteen,

512
00:25:09,920 --> 00:25:13,240
Speaker 1: game over, right, No, the Packers recover the onside kick.

513
00:25:13,440 --> 00:25:16,960
Speaker 1: When the outside kick goes through Calvin Johnson's fingers, they

514
00:25:17,000 --> 00:25:19,280
Speaker 1: get the ball to field goal range. And I don't

515
00:25:19,320 --> 00:25:22,359
Speaker 1: know what happened with Crosby is a good kicker sometimes

516
00:25:22,760 --> 00:25:26,600
Speaker 1: and he if you watch this game the highlights, the

517
00:25:26,640 --> 00:25:28,720
Speaker 1: ball was not blocked. It looks like it was blocked.

518
00:25:28,720 --> 00:25:31,399
Speaker 1: He just mishit it so poorly it never even stood

519
00:25:31,400 --> 00:25:33,639
Speaker 1: a chance. I like what you put in your post

520
00:25:33,680 --> 00:25:36,000
Speaker 1: where it's not R. E. L a X. Time for

521
00:25:36,040 --> 00:25:39,280
Speaker 1: the Green Bay Packers, this time where Aaron Rodgers sold

522
00:25:39,320 --> 00:25:41,040
Speaker 1: that last year and he was correct. It's time to

523
00:25:41,040 --> 00:25:43,400
Speaker 1: settle down and wait. This offense will get it's it's

524
00:25:43,680 --> 00:25:46,520
Speaker 1: it's feedback together. But what this time around. It's late

525
00:25:46,520 --> 00:25:49,600
Speaker 1: in the year and you don't have any Lacy guy

526
00:25:49,680 --> 00:25:51,439
Speaker 1: he was last season. That was a big part of

527
00:25:51,480 --> 00:25:54,040
Speaker 1: their offense, blowing people up with the run game in

528
00:25:54,119 --> 00:25:56,880
Speaker 1: bad weather in Green Bay. I just I wonder what's

529
00:25:56,880 --> 00:25:59,480
Speaker 1: gonna happen with this team. It's not right direction. Once

530
00:25:59,480 --> 00:26:01,679
Speaker 1: he's growing, is healthy, I would put him on a

531
00:26:01,680 --> 00:26:04,639
Speaker 1: treadmill for like fourteen straight days, get him back to

532
00:26:04,680 --> 00:26:06,639
Speaker 1: his playing weight last year, and then give him the

533
00:26:06,640 --> 00:26:09,920
Speaker 1: ball twenty five times and hope that writing. Because James

534
00:26:09,960 --> 00:26:11,920
Speaker 1: Starr has had his chance today did not look good.

535
00:26:11,960 --> 00:26:13,960
Speaker 1: Average less than three yards to carry. I thought he

536
00:26:14,040 --> 00:26:15,960
Speaker 1: left yards on the field. He did not look like

537
00:26:16,040 --> 00:26:18,320
Speaker 1: he's a career backup. Yeah, he did not look dynamic.

538
00:26:18,359 --> 00:26:20,080
Speaker 1: So there's not gonna be a situation where Starks is

539
00:26:20,080 --> 00:26:22,480
Speaker 1: going to run away with this job. Almost like their

540
00:26:22,520 --> 00:26:25,200
Speaker 1: only chance of season is for Lacey to return to form,

541
00:26:25,240 --> 00:26:29,159
Speaker 1: which is crazy to say. I like this, You're the

542
00:26:29,160 --> 00:26:31,080
Speaker 1: man to go down there. I never thought I would

543
00:26:31,080 --> 00:26:33,560
Speaker 1: be a personal trainer. Uh, And I still don't think

544
00:26:33,560 --> 00:26:35,320
Speaker 1: it will happen. But this is just my idea. Well,

545
00:26:35,359 --> 00:26:39,480
Speaker 1: they have the Vikings next week, don't they coming up?

546
00:26:39,520 --> 00:26:42,199
Speaker 1: And that's a monster game. You lose there, you can

547
00:26:42,320 --> 00:26:44,960
Speaker 1: go to back in the division, then again, if you

548
00:26:45,040 --> 00:26:47,280
Speaker 1: suddenly can find a way to just win that game.

549
00:26:47,320 --> 00:26:49,520
Speaker 1: I do think this team, if you look at their

550
00:26:49,600 --> 00:26:52,920
Speaker 1: history with even when Rogers is healthy, they've had little

551
00:26:53,000 --> 00:26:55,640
Speaker 1: dips in play for a month at a time, and

552
00:26:55,920 --> 00:26:57,880
Speaker 1: I still believe they can get out of it. Yeah.

553
00:26:58,040 --> 00:27:00,760
Speaker 1: You know, for all the talk about Jordy Nelson last year,

554
00:27:01,240 --> 00:27:04,320
Speaker 1: I think Damna Check had Rogers, Jordy Nelson and Lacy

555
00:27:04,440 --> 00:27:07,720
Speaker 1: behind knowing the Steelers trio for triplets. You don't have

556
00:27:07,800 --> 00:27:11,000
Speaker 1: Nelson or Lacey on the field today, and James Jones

557
00:27:11,000 --> 00:27:12,960
Speaker 1: is no longer a part of the offense. How was

558
00:27:12,960 --> 00:27:14,760
Speaker 1: it protected last week? I thought that was a huge

559
00:27:14,760 --> 00:27:17,800
Speaker 1: part of the problem. Was Rogers protection was fine. I

560
00:27:17,840 --> 00:27:20,040
Speaker 1: mean he was. He was moving around because he's so

561
00:27:20,040 --> 00:27:21,960
Speaker 1: good at that. It wasn't like he was clean all day.

562
00:27:22,000 --> 00:27:24,439
Speaker 1: But it wasn't a situation where that was the reason

563
00:27:24,520 --> 00:27:26,480
Speaker 1: why they lost because they could have protected me. Just

564
00:27:26,880 --> 00:27:30,280
Speaker 1: there's there's widespread problems on the office. That's wild. Jim Caldwell,

565
00:27:30,320 --> 00:27:33,000
Speaker 1: by the way, said he was not dead during the

566
00:27:33,040 --> 00:27:36,080
Speaker 1: bye week. I disagree, and he proved it's not. Did

567
00:27:36,080 --> 00:27:38,800
Speaker 1: he prove it? He's alive? They want a game, He

568
00:27:39,320 --> 00:27:42,040
Speaker 1: did something no Lions coaches done in twenty five years.

569
00:27:42,119 --> 00:27:44,960
Speaker 1: You're telling me that Jim Caldwell has a pulse. That

570
00:27:45,080 --> 00:27:47,080
Speaker 1: is the biggest surprise of the season. All right. So

571
00:27:47,119 --> 00:27:49,280
Speaker 1: if the worst loss, the worst loss of the day

572
00:27:49,400 --> 00:27:51,880
Speaker 1: was Green Bay falling to the worst team in football

573
00:27:51,960 --> 00:27:54,440
Speaker 1: at home, the second lot worst loss would have to

574
00:27:54,440 --> 00:27:57,440
Speaker 1: be what happened in Philadelphia today because the Eagles blew

575
00:27:57,440 --> 00:28:01,760
Speaker 1: a two touchdown lead at home. Uh. The end result

576
00:28:02,359 --> 00:28:06,120
Speaker 1: nineteen loss to the Dolphins. Uh. Greg. The Eagles lost

577
00:28:06,119 --> 00:28:09,200
Speaker 1: their quarterback and the golden opportunity to create some distance

578
00:28:09,200 --> 00:28:13,200
Speaker 1: in the NFC East. What a disaster. The Eagles hate

579
00:28:13,240 --> 00:28:17,520
Speaker 1: the Around the NFL podcast. Whenever we start crowning them

580
00:28:17,520 --> 00:28:19,920
Speaker 1: like we did in the preseason, naming them the number

581
00:28:19,960 --> 00:28:23,640
Speaker 1: five team or this last week as the NFC East favorite.

582
00:28:23,840 --> 00:28:26,240
Speaker 1: They got to put out a stinker on there on

583
00:28:26,280 --> 00:28:28,400
Speaker 1: the field after they got my hopes up too. They

584
00:28:28,400 --> 00:28:32,320
Speaker 1: look great in the first quarter sixteen the three touchdown drive,

585
00:28:32,400 --> 00:28:34,879
Speaker 1: the first couple of drives, and then they do nothing

586
00:28:34,920 --> 00:28:37,359
Speaker 1: the rest of the game. Sam Bradford leaves with a

587
00:28:37,440 --> 00:28:40,560
Speaker 1: shoulder injury. They lose because a special team is really

588
00:28:40,560 --> 00:28:43,080
Speaker 1: a block punt and a missed field goal. I think

589
00:28:43,120 --> 00:28:45,360
Speaker 1: we're really the differences in this game, and for everyone

590
00:28:45,400 --> 00:28:48,640
Speaker 1: that Mark wanted Mark Sanchez to come out on the field,

591
00:28:49,000 --> 00:28:51,480
Speaker 1: this is what you got. They moved the ball, but

592
00:28:51,520 --> 00:28:54,800
Speaker 1: they didn't finish drives, and he threw an absolutely killer

593
00:28:55,200 --> 00:28:58,880
Speaker 1: interception in the end zone with under five minutes to go,

594
00:28:58,920 --> 00:29:00,640
Speaker 1: when they only needed to feel a goal to take

595
00:29:00,680 --> 00:29:02,760
Speaker 1: the lead. And I think the defense would have finished

596
00:29:02,760 --> 00:29:04,560
Speaker 1: out that game for him and just couldn't do it.

597
00:29:04,760 --> 00:29:08,720
Speaker 1: You you were talking downstairs about the last sequence of

598
00:29:08,760 --> 00:29:11,800
Speaker 1: the game on offense, You want to take us through

599
00:29:11,840 --> 00:29:14,800
Speaker 1: that a little. It was absolutely awful. If you're watching

600
00:29:14,880 --> 00:29:17,280
Speaker 1: on YouTube, we should show it here. It's just it's

601
00:29:17,280 --> 00:29:19,960
Speaker 1: as bad as it just was. The Eagles offense really

602
00:29:20,120 --> 00:29:24,000
Speaker 1: in a nutshell if you were watching this during the game. First,

603
00:29:24,400 --> 00:29:26,680
Speaker 1: Miles Austin doesn't even look for a path that goes

604
00:29:26,800 --> 00:29:29,120
Speaker 1: right to him. Then they throw it to de Marco Murray,

605
00:29:29,400 --> 00:29:33,200
Speaker 1: he drops the ball. The next snap, Sanchez is a

606
00:29:33,240 --> 00:29:35,800
Speaker 1: little too high throwing at the selac he can't make

607
00:29:35,920 --> 00:29:39,160
Speaker 1: a tough catch. And then finally on fourth down, the

608
00:29:39,200 --> 00:29:42,280
Speaker 1: protection breaks down and Mark Sanchez throws it way short

609
00:29:42,320 --> 00:29:44,400
Speaker 1: of the sticks. On fourth and ten and the game

610
00:29:44,440 --> 00:29:46,800
Speaker 1: is over. They were in the great position to just

611
00:29:46,840 --> 00:29:48,920
Speaker 1: get twenty yards, kick a field goal and let the game,

612
00:29:48,920 --> 00:29:50,680
Speaker 1: and they couldn't do. None of those passes were more

613
00:29:50,720 --> 00:29:53,280
Speaker 1: than seven yards in length, and they got zero completions

614
00:29:53,320 --> 00:29:55,800
Speaker 1: out of it. Total breakdown. It's it just feels like

615
00:29:55,800 --> 00:29:58,680
Speaker 1: one of the most schizophrenic teams. What you get one

616
00:29:58,720 --> 00:30:01,000
Speaker 1: week and you think you built momentum and you're gonna

617
00:30:01,040 --> 00:30:04,280
Speaker 1: get some traction with your running game or your quarterback play,

618
00:30:04,480 --> 00:30:07,360
Speaker 1: and the next week it's completely different. Does great scientists

619
00:30:07,400 --> 00:30:11,000
Speaker 1: work there? Thank you, sir Bradford. I mean, Bradford looked

620
00:30:11,000 --> 00:30:12,880
Speaker 1: great in the first two drives. What you want to

621
00:30:12,880 --> 00:30:14,959
Speaker 1: shoot me down? No, Greg's much better at that. What

622
00:30:14,960 --> 00:30:16,920
Speaker 1: I'm saying, like, this is your chance. Now, maybe next

623
00:30:16,960 --> 00:30:20,280
Speaker 1: Sunday you could bang Greg with a sequence? All right?

624
00:30:21,400 --> 00:30:24,640
Speaker 1: Taught me in terms of sequence sounds disturbing. Yeah, okay,

625
00:30:24,760 --> 00:30:27,920
Speaker 1: go ahead. I was just gonna Bradford started the game.

626
00:30:28,320 --> 00:30:30,280
Speaker 1: I think he looked really good for most of the game,

627
00:30:30,560 --> 00:30:32,280
Speaker 1: but they moved I think it a hundred twenty two

628
00:30:32,360 --> 00:30:35,640
Speaker 1: yards in the first two possessions and then only nine

629
00:30:35,680 --> 00:30:38,959
Speaker 1: in the next seven. We should give the Dolphins some credit.

630
00:30:39,200 --> 00:30:41,560
Speaker 1: The defense played well really the last three quarters of

631
00:30:41,600 --> 00:30:43,520
Speaker 1: the game, and Dominance, who had one of, if not

632
00:30:43,720 --> 00:30:46,320
Speaker 1: his best game as a Dolphin, and they really shut

633
00:30:46,360 --> 00:30:48,440
Speaker 1: down to Marco Murray. They did what they wanted to do.

634
00:30:48,720 --> 00:30:51,400
Speaker 1: I'm gonna do as as everyone knows, i once got

635
00:30:51,400 --> 00:30:53,760
Speaker 1: a thirty nine on a state mandated math test in

636
00:30:53,800 --> 00:30:56,000
Speaker 1: New York. But I'm gonna do some math on the

637
00:30:56,040 --> 00:31:02,240
Speaker 1: overall record of the NFC East fifteen and twenty seven. No,

638
00:31:02,560 --> 00:31:07,040
Speaker 1: that's incorrect, almost nailed it. Two. That's not good. That

639
00:31:07,440 --> 00:31:09,720
Speaker 1: is ugly. That's pretty bad. Almost half the wins are

640
00:31:09,760 --> 00:31:12,480
Speaker 1: just in division teams playing each other. We'll get to

641
00:31:12,520 --> 00:31:15,080
Speaker 1: the Cowboys in a second, but I'm just gonna throw

642
00:31:15,080 --> 00:31:17,640
Speaker 1: it out there. West two and a half games out,

643
00:31:18,000 --> 00:31:20,480
Speaker 1: they're not dead. Talking about a team with the seven

644
00:31:20,480 --> 00:31:23,479
Speaker 1: game losing stream. I'm just saying that the division is

645
00:31:23,520 --> 00:31:26,120
Speaker 1: that poor, that the season is not over if they

646
00:31:26,160 --> 00:31:27,600
Speaker 1: ever can start winning game and they know how to

647
00:31:27,600 --> 00:31:30,160
Speaker 1: lose games. But in the Miami can convince themselves there

648
00:31:30,160 --> 00:31:32,440
Speaker 1: in the Mixican four and five, they're they're right there.

649
00:31:32,600 --> 00:31:34,680
Speaker 1: That's the Chiefs record. They're one game yeah, they're one

650
00:31:34,720 --> 00:31:37,360
Speaker 1: game back. They didn't impress today at all, I don't think.

651
00:31:37,360 --> 00:31:40,240
Speaker 1: But this one this week is really in the a

652
00:31:40,360 --> 00:31:43,239
Speaker 1: f C playoff pictures telling you a real story. I mean,

653
00:31:43,280 --> 00:31:47,200
Speaker 1: I think the Steelers are above those other teams in

654
00:31:47,200 --> 00:31:49,479
Speaker 1: the mix, but the Bills, the Raiders, the Jets, if

655
00:31:49,480 --> 00:31:51,040
Speaker 1: you want to throw the Chiefs in there, going to

656
00:31:51,040 --> 00:31:54,480
Speaker 1: throw the Dolphins. None of those teams are juggernauts. So

657
00:31:54,520 --> 00:31:57,200
Speaker 1: there's really no heavy favorite. I think to take that

658
00:31:57,320 --> 00:31:59,200
Speaker 1: six spot, I would just do what we normally do

659
00:31:59,240 --> 00:32:01,560
Speaker 1: and line them up by a strength of quarterback. I mean,

660
00:32:02,080 --> 00:32:04,360
Speaker 1: that's why Pittsburgh's easily number one, and I'll take my

661
00:32:04,440 --> 00:32:07,160
Speaker 1: chances with the next. Why I'm not feeling good about Miami.

662
00:32:07,200 --> 00:32:10,720
Speaker 1: I mean, Ryan Tannehill never see the free blitzers coming

663
00:32:10,760 --> 00:32:13,000
Speaker 1: at him. It's either the line or tim They kept

664
00:32:13,040 --> 00:32:16,320
Speaker 1: getting to him. Today they tied a record third straight

665
00:32:16,440 --> 00:32:20,880
Speaker 1: week where they took a safety. I mean, how does

666
00:32:20,880 --> 00:32:24,239
Speaker 1: that even happen? It was great on CBS because they

667
00:32:24,240 --> 00:32:26,040
Speaker 1: were right near the goal line, and so then they

668
00:32:26,040 --> 00:32:28,400
Speaker 1: showed the sequence of the two safeties, which were just

669
00:32:28,440 --> 00:32:30,480
Speaker 1: on bad snaps the last two weeks, and then the

670
00:32:30,560 --> 00:32:33,640
Speaker 1: next play Tannehill just takes a sack and fumbles out

671
00:32:33,680 --> 00:32:36,200
Speaker 1: the back of the end zone very next play depressing,

672
00:32:36,920 --> 00:32:39,920
Speaker 1: so I brought up the Dallas Cowboys. Let's talk about them. Next.

673
00:32:40,400 --> 00:32:43,840
Speaker 1: Jamis Winston scored on a one yard I called a

674
00:32:43,960 --> 00:32:47,160
Speaker 1: nude bootleg. A lot of people say naked bootleg DDE.

675
00:32:47,600 --> 00:32:49,239
Speaker 1: Just to put my own kind of stamp on it.

676
00:32:49,320 --> 00:32:51,360
Speaker 1: That feels a little dirty. I like it. Yeah, thank you.

677
00:32:51,400 --> 00:32:54,480
Speaker 1: With fifty four seconds to play, the decisive points and

678
00:32:54,920 --> 00:32:59,840
Speaker 1: Buccaneers ten six win over the flat lining Dallas Cowboys.

679
00:33:00,400 --> 00:33:03,160
Speaker 1: The Cowboys who were two and oh when their quarterback

680
00:33:03,400 --> 00:33:05,480
Speaker 1: got hurt and all they needed to do was win

681
00:33:05,680 --> 00:33:08,280
Speaker 1: a couple of games during the stretch. With Romo supposed

682
00:33:08,280 --> 00:33:09,840
Speaker 1: to be back next week, they could not win a

683
00:33:09,920 --> 00:33:13,240
Speaker 1: single game. They have now lost seventh straight. And I

684
00:33:13,520 --> 00:33:17,080
Speaker 1: watching this game, it was it told you how important

685
00:33:17,080 --> 00:33:19,800
Speaker 1: we always know Romo is important. He's overlooked in that sense.

686
00:33:20,000 --> 00:33:21,560
Speaker 1: They don't have anybody. They don't know how to close

687
00:33:21,600 --> 00:33:23,600
Speaker 1: out any of these games. They've been in so many

688
00:33:23,600 --> 00:33:25,800
Speaker 1: of these games and they always find a way to lose.

689
00:33:26,040 --> 00:33:28,200
Speaker 1: And I found it interesting. And when you guys check

690
00:33:28,200 --> 00:33:30,480
Speaker 1: out this game during the week, you'll see the same

691
00:33:30,520 --> 00:33:33,200
Speaker 1: thing that they got. Dez Bryant back, and he was

692
00:33:33,240 --> 00:33:35,600
Speaker 1: supposed to be a guy that kind of stopped the bleeding.

693
00:33:36,040 --> 00:33:38,520
Speaker 1: Today he contributed to their loss. They had a third

694
00:33:38,880 --> 00:33:41,320
Speaker 1: and short with five minutes to play in the game,

695
00:33:41,840 --> 00:33:43,760
Speaker 1: uh with a chance to move the chains and run

696
00:33:43,800 --> 00:33:46,840
Speaker 1: out the clock up six three, des Bryant drops the ball.

697
00:33:47,960 --> 00:33:50,400
Speaker 1: Nicely thrown ball by Castle was about a seven yard pass,

698
00:33:50,440 --> 00:33:52,400
Speaker 1: couldn't hold it in. And then on the last play

699
00:33:52,400 --> 00:33:56,040
Speaker 1: of the game for the Cowboys again, Castle goes up

700
00:33:56,040 --> 00:33:59,160
Speaker 1: with a deep ball and instead of fighting for the ball,

701
00:33:59,280 --> 00:34:02,520
Speaker 1: Dez is calling for a penalty of the balls intercepted

702
00:34:02,920 --> 00:34:05,480
Speaker 1: and des Brant doesn't make a play on a game

703
00:34:05,520 --> 00:34:08,360
Speaker 1: on the line, deep ball and one on one coverage.

704
00:34:08,640 --> 00:34:10,799
Speaker 1: So I mean those are the type does has to

705
00:34:10,840 --> 00:34:14,520
Speaker 1: make a play either or there, and you know, preferably both,

706
00:34:14,719 --> 00:34:17,040
Speaker 1: and he didn't. And that's how you lose games. Bad

707
00:34:17,040 --> 00:34:19,480
Speaker 1: teams figure out ways to lose games, and the Cowboys

708
00:34:19,480 --> 00:34:21,640
Speaker 1: are a bad team. I think teams led by Brandon

709
00:34:21,680 --> 00:34:24,439
Speaker 1: Weeden and Matt Castle also find ways. You know what,

710
00:34:24,880 --> 00:34:28,200
Speaker 1: Castle wasn't great today. Castle was very good last week.

711
00:34:28,760 --> 00:34:30,799
Speaker 1: And it's not just on him. It's just like this

712
00:34:30,840 --> 00:34:33,400
Speaker 1: team is just they don't I mean, I don't know,

713
00:34:33,520 --> 00:34:35,719
Speaker 1: it's got at some point go back to coaching maybe

714
00:34:35,760 --> 00:34:38,200
Speaker 1: a little bit. They do not know how to close

715
00:34:38,239 --> 00:34:40,319
Speaker 1: out these games. They must be maddening to watch as

716
00:34:40,360 --> 00:34:42,920
Speaker 1: a fan. It's almost like they lack character or something right.

717
00:34:42,960 --> 00:34:45,440
Speaker 1: And that's where I was going at some point, is

718
00:34:45,440 --> 00:34:48,720
Speaker 1: that they have a loser's mentality right now. The Bucks

719
00:34:48,719 --> 00:34:52,280
Speaker 1: did not enter the red zone until their game winning

720
00:34:52,320 --> 00:34:54,760
Speaker 1: touchdown with under a minute to go, So the defense

721
00:34:55,920 --> 00:34:58,759
Speaker 1: just looking at that's that clearly played very well the

722
00:34:58,800 --> 00:35:01,520
Speaker 1: whole game, and when they needed one more drive, that

723
00:35:01,640 --> 00:35:04,239
Speaker 1: was the drive where they let the Buccaneers drive down

724
00:35:04,239 --> 00:35:06,719
Speaker 1: the field and win it. And a perfect example of

725
00:35:06,760 --> 00:35:09,120
Speaker 1: bad teams finding ways to lose. I think it was

726
00:35:09,160 --> 00:35:12,680
Speaker 1: two plays before the game winning touchdown run for Winston.

727
00:35:12,719 --> 00:35:16,680
Speaker 1: Winston scrambles for the goal line, goes up in the air,

728
00:35:16,840 --> 00:35:19,520
Speaker 1: loses the ball without getting hit recovered by the Cowboys

729
00:35:19,600 --> 00:35:23,160
Speaker 1: game over. Only defensive holding on the Cowboys wipes the playout.

730
00:35:23,520 --> 00:35:25,040
Speaker 1: So I mean it was one of It was a

731
00:35:25,120 --> 00:35:28,840
Speaker 1: stomach punch loss for the Cowboys, one in many this season.

732
00:35:28,920 --> 00:35:30,719
Speaker 1: I mean, you you get you know, you have Dez

733
00:35:30,840 --> 00:35:33,320
Speaker 1: going nuts on the sideline of Greg Hardy getting into

734
00:35:33,440 --> 00:35:36,839
Speaker 1: altercations on a weekly basis, And I get it from

735
00:35:36,840 --> 00:35:39,120
Speaker 1: the standpoint that it's got to be super frustrating to

736
00:35:39,120 --> 00:35:41,439
Speaker 1: be a member of the Dallas Cowboys because you get

737
00:35:41,440 --> 00:35:45,520
Speaker 1: your heart ripped out week after week after week. Greg Hardy,

738
00:35:45,560 --> 00:35:48,400
Speaker 1: oh and five. I believe by the one, shocking, shocking

739
00:35:48,440 --> 00:35:52,640
Speaker 1: that that would happen there. It's another example of the

740
00:35:52,880 --> 00:35:55,560
Speaker 1: lie where coaches say the hardest thing to do in

741
00:35:55,600 --> 00:35:58,839
Speaker 1: sports is win an NFL game. The Buccaneers have won

742
00:35:58,840 --> 00:36:00,839
Speaker 1: four games this year. Not the not taking anything away

743
00:36:00,840 --> 00:36:02,800
Speaker 1: from him. They're they're fine, but I think that is

744
00:36:04,320 --> 00:36:06,799
Speaker 1: improved team. They're an improved team. They were like a

745
00:36:06,840 --> 00:36:09,400
Speaker 1: seven win type of team, which is doubling more than doubling.

746
00:36:09,520 --> 00:36:12,000
Speaker 1: So if the Cowboys go perfect the rest of the way,

747
00:36:12,000 --> 00:36:14,200
Speaker 1: the best they can do is nine and seven. Sorry, damn,

748
00:36:14,239 --> 00:36:17,400
Speaker 1: I don't think that's a playoff team. Nine and seven. No,

749
00:36:17,600 --> 00:36:20,640
Speaker 1: that's that's in the like wildly unlikely chance they do

750
00:36:20,719 --> 00:36:25,080
Speaker 1: go perfect that they don't even have to win a game.

751
00:36:25,160 --> 00:36:27,200
Speaker 1: If you told me they're gonna go nine and seven,

752
00:36:27,200 --> 00:36:32,200
Speaker 1: I'd say they're winning the NFC East. But because they

753
00:36:32,320 --> 00:36:35,880
Speaker 1: did themselves in, because they needed to steal a couple

754
00:36:35,920 --> 00:36:38,319
Speaker 1: of these games. You can't lose all seven. It's a

755
00:36:38,320 --> 00:36:40,839
Speaker 1: total joke scenario. So I'm not going to get behind

756
00:36:40,840 --> 00:36:42,719
Speaker 1: the Cowboys at two and seven at this point because

757
00:36:42,719 --> 00:36:44,920
Speaker 1: what have they shown. Even when Romo gets back, A

758
00:36:45,000 --> 00:36:47,680
Speaker 1: rusty Tony Romo is gonna roll off seven wins in

759
00:36:47,680 --> 00:36:49,960
Speaker 1: the rows. I think God is very angry at this team.

760
00:36:50,120 --> 00:36:52,359
Speaker 1: It would be great, though. It would be great for

761
00:36:52,880 --> 00:36:55,440
Speaker 1: I said it last week, for the Romo, for the

762
00:36:55,520 --> 00:36:58,480
Speaker 1: Romo narrative, and of it all, he comes back and

763
00:36:58,520 --> 00:37:00,600
Speaker 1: then they just start winning game at the game I

764
00:37:00,600 --> 00:37:02,319
Speaker 1: would love. I would It would be the only thing

765
00:37:02,320 --> 00:37:05,960
Speaker 1: that would make is likable despite what the team attached

766
00:37:05,960 --> 00:37:08,279
Speaker 1: to him. What you think about them, you West, come on,

767
00:37:08,360 --> 00:37:11,600
Speaker 1: Tony Romo. A little redemption leads him. I get a

768
00:37:11,640 --> 00:37:13,600
Speaker 1: sense of Tony Romo was one of the nicest people

769
00:37:13,680 --> 00:37:16,680
Speaker 1: in the NFL. I would love for him to win

770
00:37:16,760 --> 00:37:21,319
Speaker 1: games if he was playing for a different organization. Fair enough,

771
00:37:21,800 --> 00:37:24,640
Speaker 1: Darren McFadden, your boy, who was second in the league

772
00:37:24,640 --> 00:37:27,160
Speaker 1: and rushing over the past three weeks, came back down

773
00:37:27,160 --> 00:37:29,440
Speaker 1: to earth a little bit in this game, but you

774
00:37:29,480 --> 00:37:32,600
Speaker 1: didn't get hurt. West. He'll be back next week your boy,

775
00:37:32,680 --> 00:37:35,640
Speaker 1: he's okay, Yeah, I'm I'm already come out on top

776
00:37:35,640 --> 00:37:37,759
Speaker 1: of them. This. I'll have to delay my long plan

777
00:37:38,000 --> 00:37:42,359
Speaker 1: Mia Colpa about how well McFadden's playing now, I will

778
00:37:42,560 --> 00:37:45,400
Speaker 1: I believe that when I hear it, Yeah, that's Gret.

779
00:37:45,440 --> 00:37:47,799
Speaker 1: I could see Greg like checking the box or about

780
00:37:47,800 --> 00:37:50,760
Speaker 1: a couple of hours ago, a grand creeping out of space.

781
00:37:51,160 --> 00:37:53,480
Speaker 1: I seriously did think that when I watched the Cowboys

782
00:37:53,480 --> 00:37:55,319
Speaker 1: friendly over the weekend, was on a day with time

783
00:37:55,400 --> 00:37:57,960
Speaker 1: for me to finally admit how well he's playing. But

784
00:37:58,040 --> 00:38:01,000
Speaker 1: now he stinks again. Victories Greg today, that's one of

785
00:38:01,080 --> 00:38:05,520
Speaker 1: just the more minor ones. Yes, avalanche of victories. Um,

786
00:38:05,680 --> 00:38:07,920
Speaker 1: no Cowboy player had a longer run than seven yards

787
00:38:07,920 --> 00:38:10,399
Speaker 1: in the game. Uh. Moving on, there was a guy

788
00:38:10,440 --> 00:38:13,760
Speaker 1: that had a lot of yards for the Minnesota Vikings today.

789
00:38:13,800 --> 00:38:16,600
Speaker 1: He was Adrian Peterson, who ran for a season high

790
00:38:16,600 --> 00:38:19,920
Speaker 1: two and three yards, including a game icing eight yards,

791
00:38:19,920 --> 00:38:22,560
Speaker 1: scoring late in the fourth quarter, leading the Vikings to

792
00:38:22,640 --> 00:38:26,400
Speaker 1: a thirty to fourteen victory over the Raiders. Mark the

793
00:38:26,480 --> 00:38:29,360
Speaker 1: Vikings are seven and two and all alone atop the

794
00:38:29,440 --> 00:38:33,840
Speaker 1: NFC North. Are you buying in I'm buying into their defense.

795
00:38:34,000 --> 00:38:36,200
Speaker 1: I think they did a good job against Oakland today,

796
00:38:36,200 --> 00:38:38,719
Speaker 1: and it's it's the it's consecutive weeks in a row

797
00:38:38,800 --> 00:38:41,319
Speaker 1: that their defense has started to show up and do

798
00:38:41,440 --> 00:38:44,520
Speaker 1: the job their Their offense to me is very weird

799
00:38:44,640 --> 00:38:47,920
Speaker 1: because yes, it's Adrian Peterson and he got stronger as

800
00:38:47,960 --> 00:38:50,359
Speaker 1: the game went on today and finally broke that game

801
00:38:50,440 --> 00:38:53,440
Speaker 1: ceiling run. But I just the Teddy Bridgewater thing. I

802
00:38:53,520 --> 00:38:56,200
Speaker 1: was watching him verse Derek Carr, and it's just a

803
00:38:56,200 --> 00:38:59,319
Speaker 1: personal preference. But everything about Derek Carr I like better.

804
00:38:59,800 --> 00:39:02,680
Speaker 1: I just like, I like what Oakland has with their quarterback,

805
00:39:02,719 --> 00:39:04,840
Speaker 1: and he's he's Derek Carr is going to throw the

806
00:39:04,840 --> 00:39:07,200
Speaker 1: ball deep over and over. He just has that arm.

807
00:39:07,239 --> 00:39:10,240
Speaker 1: And Bridgewater seems more to me like he's just managed

808
00:39:10,280 --> 00:39:12,680
Speaker 1: in the game with shorter passes and it is right now.

809
00:39:12,840 --> 00:39:15,439
Speaker 1: I just it's funny three years old too. Sure, it's

810
00:39:15,440 --> 00:39:18,799
Speaker 1: not a final analysis to me. A bad loss for

811
00:39:18,800 --> 00:39:21,759
Speaker 1: the Raiders. You gotta stack some wins at home if

812
00:39:21,760 --> 00:39:23,840
Speaker 1: you're a team that's making the leap, and I guess

813
00:39:24,160 --> 00:39:26,480
Speaker 1: maybe it's time. And I'll be the first to say

814
00:39:26,520 --> 00:39:29,360
Speaker 1: that I haven't been all that impressed by the Vikings

815
00:39:29,440 --> 00:39:31,880
Speaker 1: this season. To this point, and maybe the Raiders are

816
00:39:31,920 --> 00:39:33,680
Speaker 1: still kind of a team figuring out and they're really

817
00:39:33,680 --> 00:39:35,799
Speaker 1: a five hundred team. But this is a really big

818
00:39:35,840 --> 00:39:38,040
Speaker 1: win for the Vikings on the road against a team

819
00:39:38,040 --> 00:39:41,560
Speaker 1: that's had some success against teams that are decent this year.

820
00:39:41,800 --> 00:39:44,439
Speaker 1: I mean again, they shut down in good offense and

821
00:39:45,080 --> 00:39:47,360
Speaker 1: they won an ugly game. And I think that Minnesota

822
00:39:47,560 --> 00:39:49,520
Speaker 1: this was there now into the part of the schedule

823
00:39:49,640 --> 00:39:52,440
Speaker 1: that we thought a couple of weeks ago would destroy

824
00:39:52,560 --> 00:39:55,279
Speaker 1: them and take them down. And they keep winning and

825
00:39:55,320 --> 00:39:57,480
Speaker 1: they've got Green Bay next week. You take care of

826
00:39:57,520 --> 00:39:59,839
Speaker 1: business there, and they seriously in the driver's seat. Yeah.

827
00:40:00,360 --> 00:40:04,200
Speaker 1: Before this game was even over, my at mentions on

828
00:40:04,239 --> 00:40:07,040
Speaker 1: Twitter were blown up with people wanting to some sort

829
00:40:07,080 --> 00:40:09,640
Speaker 1: of apology about the Vikings. I guess they've been critical

830
00:40:09,640 --> 00:40:11,719
Speaker 1: about the Vikings on the podcast that we're not giving

831
00:40:12,040 --> 00:40:14,080
Speaker 1: how are you gonna skip giving them some credit now

832
00:40:14,280 --> 00:40:18,480
Speaker 1: that they finally a good team just because there's seven

833
00:40:18,480 --> 00:40:20,799
Speaker 1: and two. This was an impressive performance. I mean this,

834
00:40:21,080 --> 00:40:23,879
Speaker 1: I think just looking at it would be their best

835
00:40:23,920 --> 00:40:26,359
Speaker 1: game of the season to shut down an offense like that.

836
00:40:26,920 --> 00:40:28,880
Speaker 1: Then again, you know that's it's still a four and

837
00:40:28,960 --> 00:40:31,839
Speaker 1: five team. They beat It doesn't change the fact that

838
00:40:31,880 --> 00:40:34,319
Speaker 1: I think they've been lucky and that their record is

839
00:40:34,360 --> 00:40:37,399
Speaker 1: not really reflective of how good they've been so far.

840
00:40:37,760 --> 00:40:40,680
Speaker 1: But it doesn't matter because they're seven and two and

841
00:40:40,800 --> 00:40:43,200
Speaker 1: they have an identity which is good. They have a

842
00:40:43,239 --> 00:40:45,680
Speaker 1: great defensive line, Limbell Joseph sounds like he had a

843
00:40:45,680 --> 00:40:47,799
Speaker 1: good game again, and they have the running game and

844
00:40:47,800 --> 00:40:50,120
Speaker 1: they kind of know who they are and that that

845
00:40:50,120 --> 00:40:51,600
Speaker 1: could be enough. It's not like they need to be

846
00:40:51,680 --> 00:40:53,720
Speaker 1: great to win ten or eleven. I think with the Vikings,

847
00:40:53,800 --> 00:40:56,320
Speaker 1: Zimmer came in and he's doing what he promised he

848
00:40:56,360 --> 00:40:59,600
Speaker 1: would do on defense. What concerns me is Norv Turners,

849
00:41:00,040 --> 00:41:02,600
Speaker 1: who's year after year had a great passing game. No

850
00:41:02,600 --> 00:41:05,480
Speaker 1: matter where he goes, there's no identity, there's passing game

851
00:41:05,560 --> 00:41:08,879
Speaker 1: right now. Mike Wallace has vanished. Diggs didn't really show

852
00:41:08,960 --> 00:41:11,320
Speaker 1: up today. They shut him down in the first half completely,

853
00:41:11,719 --> 00:41:14,680
Speaker 1: and that's against Oakland secondary. Not a single receiver had

854
00:41:14,680 --> 00:41:17,720
Speaker 1: more than forty five yards. Wallace is done. In terms

855
00:41:17,719 --> 00:41:21,000
Speaker 1: of um being a deep threat. There's a there's a

856
00:41:21,040 --> 00:41:23,200
Speaker 1: stat that he was I think the number three guy

857
00:41:23,239 --> 00:41:25,560
Speaker 1: in the NFL in recent seasons. Is that type of

858
00:41:25,560 --> 00:41:27,319
Speaker 1: player that could take the top off defense, and he's

859
00:41:27,320 --> 00:41:29,120
Speaker 1: not doing that anymore, and that was really what he's

860
00:41:29,160 --> 00:41:30,759
Speaker 1: there for. I think he also went to a team

861
00:41:30,760 --> 00:41:33,040
Speaker 1: where the quarterback doesn't throw the deep ball that often.

862
00:41:33,080 --> 00:41:34,839
Speaker 1: That's just not what their passing game is right now.

863
00:41:34,840 --> 00:41:37,000
Speaker 1: And that's sort of what I meant, where with car

864
00:41:37,360 --> 00:41:39,760
Speaker 1: it's sort of a he's just a little more daring.

865
00:41:39,800 --> 00:41:41,840
Speaker 1: He'll just he'll put it down field. And I like

866
00:41:41,920 --> 00:41:44,040
Speaker 1: think Oakland's more fun to watch for that reason. You

867
00:41:44,120 --> 00:41:46,799
Speaker 1: like thereself a daring man. I like daring. You are

868
00:41:46,960 --> 00:41:50,320
Speaker 1: duary man. Sometimes Oakland is more fun to watch. But

869
00:41:50,360 --> 00:41:52,280
Speaker 1: their defense is going to keep them out of the playoffs.

870
00:41:52,280 --> 00:41:54,560
Speaker 1: They gave up Yeah, you have five hundred yards to

871
00:41:54,640 --> 00:41:56,960
Speaker 1: two guys last week, just two players, and then they

872
00:41:56,960 --> 00:41:59,439
Speaker 1: give up the two hundred yard game to Peterson today.

873
00:41:59,480 --> 00:42:02,400
Speaker 1: This is not a good defense. Yeah, and holding, you know,

874
00:42:02,440 --> 00:42:04,719
Speaker 1: we should give my kids credit. I mean holding the

875
00:42:04,800 --> 00:42:07,000
Speaker 1: Raiders to fourteen points at this point. We've seen other

876
00:42:07,040 --> 00:42:09,520
Speaker 1: teams go into Oakland and they get wax. The Jets

877
00:42:09,520 --> 00:42:12,160
Speaker 1: were good defense, they got wax. The Chargers are not good,

878
00:42:12,160 --> 00:42:14,360
Speaker 1: but they got wax. I mean Oakland went into Pittsburgh,

879
00:42:14,360 --> 00:42:16,120
Speaker 1: who had been playing pretty well and they put up

880
00:42:16,160 --> 00:42:18,640
Speaker 1: thirty five points for Minnesota to do this, I mean

881
00:42:18,840 --> 00:42:21,400
Speaker 1: they have a good d Linval Joseph looks like he

882
00:42:21,680 --> 00:42:25,200
Speaker 1: ate somebody. I mean he's massive. Can we rule that

883
00:42:25,239 --> 00:42:29,440
Speaker 1: out he's been I think that's illegal. And don't look

884
00:42:29,480 --> 00:42:32,000
Speaker 1: now by the way. First of all, Adrian Peterson is

885
00:42:32,320 --> 00:42:35,799
Speaker 1: closing in a thousand yards after nine games and he

886
00:42:35,960 --> 00:42:40,200
Speaker 1: is on pace for about eight eighteen hundred yards this season. Uh,

887
00:42:40,320 --> 00:42:43,279
Speaker 1: this is an all time great that we're watching. It's

888
00:42:43,280 --> 00:42:48,920
Speaker 1: not tit O J. Simpson for most two yard performances. Hubba, hubba,

889
00:42:49,600 --> 00:42:53,399
Speaker 1: what a weird season and leads the league in negative plays. Yeah,

890
00:42:53,560 --> 00:42:57,360
Speaker 1: and plays over ten ten yards. We've covered it all.

891
00:42:57,560 --> 00:42:59,920
Speaker 1: What else can be said? We have to move forward,

892
00:43:00,080 --> 00:43:02,080
Speaker 1: and it is one of my favorite parts of the

893
00:43:02,120 --> 00:43:05,680
Speaker 1: week is when I get to introduce Um, the next

894
00:43:05,760 --> 00:43:09,520
Speaker 1: individual to come through the doors here at Studio sixties six.

895
00:43:09,880 --> 00:43:13,640
Speaker 1: She is one of the mainstays on Mark, Pay Attention Now,

896
00:43:14,000 --> 00:43:19,880
Speaker 1: NFL Now, Game Day Blitz. Yes, the White Couch of Truth,

897
00:43:19,920 --> 00:43:24,520
Speaker 1: as Check calls it. Um. She is the great, the Great.

898
00:43:24,640 --> 00:43:32,279
Speaker 1: Connie Fox went with jazz hands this week. It is

899
00:43:32,400 --> 00:43:37,239
Speaker 1: never not awkward. I know I'm really happy that we

900
00:43:37,320 --> 00:43:40,240
Speaker 1: highlighted every week. It could have made it even more awkward.

901
00:43:40,760 --> 00:43:43,080
Speaker 1: Showed a video of some of your dance moves on

902
00:43:43,200 --> 00:43:46,480
Speaker 1: NFL Now Today, which we're sent over the interwebs. Sometimes

903
00:43:46,480 --> 00:43:48,440
Speaker 1: these things happen. I don't really know what to say

904
00:43:48,440 --> 00:43:51,160
Speaker 1: about it continues to get more awkward. Look it up

905
00:43:51,200 --> 00:43:53,959
Speaker 1: and I hate that this almost seems like Colin comes

906
00:43:54,000 --> 00:43:57,000
Speaker 1: in here and we you know, just you know, instead

907
00:43:57,000 --> 00:43:58,799
Speaker 1: of saying, hey, how are you doing, Colleen? We got

908
00:43:58,880 --> 00:44:01,360
Speaker 1: agendas with Colin because I got something to say about

909
00:44:01,719 --> 00:44:04,319
Speaker 1: what happened last night in hands this manner, I'm still

910
00:44:04,719 --> 00:44:07,440
Speaker 1: no my confidence is shattered. Can I bring it up

911
00:44:07,480 --> 00:44:09,960
Speaker 1: with I've been thinking about it all day. We played

912
00:44:09,960 --> 00:44:14,120
Speaker 1: a little bit of the card game Cards against Humanity, which,

913
00:44:14,400 --> 00:44:17,440
Speaker 1: for those that are familiar with it, it's I don't know,

914
00:44:17,440 --> 00:44:20,640
Speaker 1: how would you even describe what that game is. It's

915
00:44:20,719 --> 00:44:27,359
Speaker 1: like bolder dash meats, Yes, but anyway, it's a game.

916
00:44:27,440 --> 00:44:29,600
Speaker 1: It's a card game where you're trying to like, yeah,

917
00:44:29,640 --> 00:44:31,719
Speaker 1: it's a disturbing game. You try to, you know, have

918
00:44:31,800 --> 00:44:35,279
Speaker 1: the funniest line, and then people pick it. Colleen was

919
00:44:35,320 --> 00:44:40,960
Speaker 1: shut out any cards. That's the problem. Look when you

920
00:44:41,000 --> 00:44:43,799
Speaker 1: get a bad batch in Cards against Humanity, there's there's

921
00:44:43,840 --> 00:44:46,360
Speaker 1: no way you can redeem yourself. It is like taking

922
00:44:46,400 --> 00:44:49,000
Speaker 1: over like a Matt Millan team, where you're just you're

923
00:44:49,040 --> 00:44:51,120
Speaker 1: digging out from under it. Some gms, if you have

924
00:44:51,160 --> 00:44:53,319
Speaker 1: the right vision, you get out from underneath that. You

925
00:44:53,360 --> 00:44:55,640
Speaker 1: did not. I did not. She didn't do anything wrong.

926
00:44:55,800 --> 00:45:00,840
Speaker 1: She just perfect. I didn't do anything. Well, it wasn't. Yeah,

927
00:45:01,000 --> 00:45:03,000
Speaker 1: it wasn't a great showing, but I had bad guards

928
00:45:03,080 --> 00:45:04,840
Speaker 1: and found a way to get a few points. I

929
00:45:04,840 --> 00:45:07,560
Speaker 1: think west one I did, So there you go. Yeah,

930
00:45:07,600 --> 00:45:10,080
Speaker 1: I started getting desperate at the end. It was bad.

931
00:45:09,760 --> 00:45:14,919
Speaker 1: It was in your head, all right. So Colleen, would

932
00:45:14,960 --> 00:45:17,359
Speaker 1: you mind if we talk a little football. Let's do

933
00:45:17,400 --> 00:45:21,479
Speaker 1: it all right. Let's start with the Washington Redskins, who, Yeah,

934
00:45:21,520 --> 00:45:24,080
Speaker 1: they remain in the mix in the NFC East. After

935
00:45:24,160 --> 00:45:29,360
Speaker 1: embarrassing the crumbling Saints to fourteen at home on Sunday,

936
00:45:29,440 --> 00:45:32,920
Speaker 1: Kirk Cousins through four touchdown passes, two of them to

937
00:45:33,200 --> 00:45:38,480
Speaker 1: tight end Jordan Read in the blowout. Colleen, honestly, what

938
00:45:38,560 --> 00:45:40,719
Speaker 1: does Rob Ryan have to do to get fired? I

939
00:45:40,760 --> 00:45:43,560
Speaker 1: have no idea because I was thinking the same exact thing.

940
00:45:43,719 --> 00:45:47,480
Speaker 1: This has been an absolute meltdown. The defense looks so

941
00:45:47,560 --> 00:45:50,759
Speaker 1: awful every week. The Titans did it last week. Kirk

942
00:45:50,760 --> 00:45:54,239
Speaker 1: Cousins looked awesome. He looked like he was unstoppable. He

943
00:45:54,239 --> 00:45:58,080
Speaker 1: had three hundred passing yards and three touchdowns at the half.

944
00:45:58,680 --> 00:46:02,320
Speaker 1: I mean, he looked so good. But at this point

945
00:46:02,680 --> 00:46:05,719
Speaker 1: they just should have Dennis Allen take over because I

946
00:46:05,760 --> 00:46:09,040
Speaker 1: have no idea how you even come back from such

947
00:46:09,080 --> 00:46:11,799
Speaker 1: a terrible performance like this. You hear over and over

948
00:46:11,840 --> 00:46:15,440
Speaker 1: the players love Rob Bryant, that they get behind him

949
00:46:15,440 --> 00:46:17,759
Speaker 1: and just think he's the greatest coach around. He has

950
00:46:17,800 --> 00:46:21,080
Speaker 1: all this support, but the results are an epic disaster.

951
00:46:21,560 --> 00:46:24,200
Speaker 1: One thing I guess in Rob Bryan's defense is, how

952
00:46:24,200 --> 00:46:26,640
Speaker 1: would you do as a defense coordinator if you had

953
00:46:26,640 --> 00:46:30,720
Speaker 1: Brandon Browner getting significant snaps week after week. Who's hands

954
00:46:30,760 --> 00:46:33,000
Speaker 1: down the worst cornerback in football? If you're Bill Belicheck,

955
00:46:33,040 --> 00:46:37,319
Speaker 1: you win a Super Bowl. I mean it's very fair.

956
00:46:37,560 --> 00:46:41,000
Speaker 1: That's not fair at all. Actually started what happened. He

957
00:46:41,080 --> 00:46:43,680
Speaker 1: was the starter. You're right, because Darrell Rivas is on

958
00:46:43,760 --> 00:46:45,960
Speaker 1: the Saints too, So no, I mean they were able

959
00:46:46,000 --> 00:46:48,320
Speaker 1: to hide him. He can't be hidden in this defense.

960
00:46:48,400 --> 00:46:53,880
Speaker 1: They don't have a great personnel. That doesn't help matters Browner.

961
00:46:53,920 --> 00:46:56,840
Speaker 1: If you're Rob Bryan making that push for that veteran

962
00:46:56,880 --> 00:47:00,560
Speaker 1: cornerback for the Saints, and I don't think anyone will

963
00:47:00,600 --> 00:47:04,879
Speaker 1: be surprised. In fact, maybe we should just somebody. You're

964
00:47:04,920 --> 00:47:09,640
Speaker 1: in late on Mondays, so you're out of the mix. Um, Dan,

965
00:47:09,880 --> 00:47:12,400
Speaker 1: you've got the Rob Ryan loses his job. Actually, this

966
00:47:12,440 --> 00:47:14,800
Speaker 1: is getting I'll take it. I'll take the Rob Bryan

967
00:47:14,880 --> 00:47:19,200
Speaker 1: beat that we're planning and take this all out of

968
00:47:19,239 --> 00:47:25,400
Speaker 1: the show colors. That's good. Speaking of Greg's true colors,

969
00:47:25,880 --> 00:47:28,000
Speaker 1: I guess Kirk Cousins might go up to like thirty

970
00:47:28,160 --> 00:47:32,600
Speaker 1: in your quarterback around shocking Cousins. I would say cousins

971
00:47:32,640 --> 00:47:35,520
Speaker 1: best game of the year basically was last perfecting yet

972
00:47:35,560 --> 00:47:37,319
Speaker 1: so this is a couple of couple of good weeks

973
00:47:37,360 --> 00:47:39,560
Speaker 1: in a row now for him. And Yeah, and I

974
00:47:39,600 --> 00:47:43,759
Speaker 1: feel horrible that we forked the Redskins because it's better

975
00:47:43,760 --> 00:47:48,839
Speaker 1: than them in this division. If we were getting mad

976
00:47:48,840 --> 00:47:51,359
Speaker 1: at her, if we wanted to crow about every team

977
00:47:51,360 --> 00:47:53,440
Speaker 1: that we shouldn't have forked, that's four and five. We

978
00:47:53,480 --> 00:47:56,239
Speaker 1: would have the Dolphins, we would have the Bills, we

979
00:47:56,239 --> 00:47:59,480
Speaker 1: would have the Raiders. We would have the Jaguars we have.

980
00:47:59,520 --> 00:48:01,680
Speaker 1: That's fine. So that's fine, Like there's a million of them.

981
00:48:01,800 --> 00:48:04,000
Speaker 1: Dan asked me a couple of weeks ago, can I

982
00:48:04,040 --> 00:48:07,000
Speaker 1: picture Ja Gruden at that podium for the playoffs? Yes?

983
00:48:07,040 --> 00:48:09,720
Speaker 1: I can, and I can stand and I can picture

984
00:48:10,040 --> 00:48:13,399
Speaker 1: you like that catching on throughout THELT that final two

985
00:48:13,440 --> 00:48:16,200
Speaker 1: months of the season has a big playoff push. You

986
00:48:16,320 --> 00:48:18,680
Speaker 1: like that. What we see from Washington, like in their

987
00:48:18,719 --> 00:48:21,080
Speaker 1: ceiling games, is what we saw today, which is good

988
00:48:21,080 --> 00:48:23,320
Speaker 1: play from Kirk Cousins for most of the game. Today

989
00:48:23,440 --> 00:48:26,280
Speaker 1: was the entire game, and they ran for two hundred yards.

990
00:48:26,480 --> 00:48:29,720
Speaker 1: Their offensive line when it's clicked, has been a dominant

991
00:48:29,800 --> 00:48:32,840
Speaker 1: run game. And that's when Washington can win this division

992
00:48:32,880 --> 00:48:34,879
Speaker 1: because you're right, what's the other team that's gonna jump

993
00:48:34,920 --> 00:48:36,960
Speaker 1: up and take the Eagles? That's fine, But then next

994
00:48:36,960 --> 00:48:39,040
Speaker 1: week when they lose to Carolina and their four and

995
00:48:39,080 --> 00:48:41,040
Speaker 1: six and maybe the Eagles, are the Giants gonna win?

996
00:48:41,120 --> 00:48:42,759
Speaker 1: And then they're back to two games back, then we'll

997
00:48:42,800 --> 00:48:44,879
Speaker 1: be like, well, I guess it's Okayly for the things

998
00:48:44,920 --> 00:48:47,080
Speaker 1: you're right that that the top of the NFC East

999
00:48:47,120 --> 00:48:49,920
Speaker 1: is all mediocre, and that that they'll probably stay in

1000
00:48:49,920 --> 00:48:52,080
Speaker 1: the mix, but I don't think they'll win it. Seven

1001
00:48:52,080 --> 00:48:54,320
Speaker 1: and nine team wins this division. When they lose thirty

1002
00:48:54,320 --> 00:48:56,640
Speaker 1: one six at Carolina next week, no one's gonna be

1003
00:48:56,680 --> 00:48:59,520
Speaker 1: biting their fingernails about the Washington Redskins. There there's a

1004
00:48:59,600 --> 00:49:02,680
Speaker 1: bad even a horrible division, that's all. And like the

1005
00:49:02,680 --> 00:49:04,759
Speaker 1: Cowboys are frisky and they're two games behind the red

1006
00:49:05,520 --> 00:49:07,359
Speaker 1: Maybe you missed earlier in the podcast where I said

1007
00:49:07,360 --> 00:49:09,760
Speaker 1: they can't be taken seriously, but I think the Giants

1008
00:49:09,760 --> 00:49:12,520
Speaker 1: and Eagles, even though what we saw today, still are

1009
00:49:12,520 --> 00:49:16,040
Speaker 1: a better team, two better teams than the Cowboys and

1010
00:49:16,080 --> 00:49:18,319
Speaker 1: the red Skins. With the Redskins, though, what I'd say

1011
00:49:18,360 --> 00:49:21,239
Speaker 1: is there is something being built because occasionally you see

1012
00:49:21,280 --> 00:49:24,200
Speaker 1: these performances popping through. Maybe it's not this season when

1013
00:49:24,239 --> 00:49:26,560
Speaker 1: they're healthy, for next season, when they're healthy, they get

1014
00:49:26,600 --> 00:49:29,520
Speaker 1: to Sean Jackson beck their offensive lines intact, they are

1015
00:49:29,560 --> 00:49:32,799
Speaker 1: a different team when he as an Eagles homer. Let's

1016
00:49:32,840 --> 00:49:36,479
Speaker 1: be okay, like, which are the three teams awkward? Which

1017
00:49:36,480 --> 00:49:39,000
Speaker 1: are the three teams would you be most afraid of

1018
00:49:39,320 --> 00:49:44,640
Speaker 1: winning this division? And Redskins are the Cowboys? Probably the Giants?

1019
00:49:45,160 --> 00:49:48,600
Speaker 1: And when I watched the Eagles. I there's no I'm

1020
00:49:48,600 --> 00:49:50,680
Speaker 1: not confident in anything that I see. I feel like

1021
00:49:50,920 --> 00:49:53,640
Speaker 1: there's nothing that says they are a good team when

1022
00:49:53,640 --> 00:49:57,240
Speaker 1: I watched them. But the Redskins, they play the Saints

1023
00:49:57,239 --> 00:50:01,320
Speaker 1: and they look great. But that's not consider Stint Giants

1024
00:50:01,320 --> 00:50:03,799
Speaker 1: shot a little something on Sunday. Even though they lost

1025
00:50:03,800 --> 00:50:05,359
Speaker 1: that game, they really should have won it. I mean

1026
00:50:05,400 --> 00:50:08,400
Speaker 1: they they I thought, outplayed the Patriots. That's something. But

1027
00:50:08,480 --> 00:50:10,640
Speaker 1: you're right, there's no great teams. We do have. By

1028
00:50:10,680 --> 00:50:14,880
Speaker 1: the way, Um branded behind the glass. Um told me

1029
00:50:14,960 --> 00:50:17,719
Speaker 1: we have this a little more. West was saying you

1030
00:50:17,760 --> 00:50:19,880
Speaker 1: like this or is it you like it? Whatever it

1031
00:50:19,960 --> 00:50:23,400
Speaker 1: is catching on defensive end that you like that? Chris

1032
00:50:23,440 --> 00:50:29,880
Speaker 1: Baker after the game, shouting at a local cameraman the

1033
00:50:29,960 --> 00:50:32,600
Speaker 1: defense stood up. They did a great job. Like that.

1034
00:50:33,360 --> 00:50:38,160
Speaker 1: Don't like you gotta like that, right, Chris Baker, by

1035
00:50:38,160 --> 00:50:41,080
Speaker 1: the way, having a great season. He did that, and

1036
00:50:41,280 --> 00:50:43,800
Speaker 1: I know it's not even the one that I saw. Yeah, exactly,

1037
00:50:44,680 --> 00:50:48,600
Speaker 1: I saw him do that in the hallway after the games. Baker, Hey,

1038
00:50:48,840 --> 00:50:50,480
Speaker 1: trying too hard a little bit. I don't know this

1039
00:50:50,560 --> 00:50:53,799
Speaker 1: team's got okay. But also, by the way, on the

1040
00:50:53,840 --> 00:50:55,919
Speaker 1: other side of things, Why do you still have Drew

1041
00:50:55,960 --> 00:50:58,600
Speaker 1: Brees in the game at the end when they are

1042
00:50:58,640 --> 00:51:02,279
Speaker 1: down by like thirty pins. What knows what's going on

1043
00:51:02,320 --> 00:51:05,239
Speaker 1: in New Orleans. Just blow the whole thing up and

1044
00:51:05,320 --> 00:51:10,080
Speaker 1: be done with it. Enough so well too, coming into

1045
00:51:10,120 --> 00:51:13,920
Speaker 1: this game, like I thought, he'd played unbelievable last weekend,

1046
00:51:13,960 --> 00:51:16,080
Speaker 1: that they made that little rally to four and four,

1047
00:51:16,120 --> 00:51:18,399
Speaker 1: and now none of it matters. Let's just move on.

1048
00:51:19,239 --> 00:51:21,799
Speaker 1: Jason Myers kicked a fifty three yard field goal after

1049
00:51:21,880 --> 00:51:24,920
Speaker 1: Jacksonville got one last play thanks to a face mass

1050
00:51:24,920 --> 00:51:27,799
Speaker 1: penalty with no time on the clock. In the end,

1051
00:51:27,840 --> 00:51:30,920
Speaker 1: it met. The Jaguars ended their thirteen game road losing

1052
00:51:30,920 --> 00:51:35,160
Speaker 1: streak Sunday two to twenty win over the Baltimore Ravens,

1053
00:51:35,160 --> 00:51:38,600
Speaker 1: another team that knows how to lose and find ways

1054
00:51:38,640 --> 00:51:40,799
Speaker 1: to do it. West The Jags don't get too many

1055
00:51:40,800 --> 00:51:43,560
Speaker 1: gifts from the football gods. They're gonna take this. This

1056
00:51:43,560 --> 00:51:45,759
Speaker 1: one was a huge gift. I believe there are only

1057
00:51:45,800 --> 00:51:50,160
Speaker 1: four plays in history where a team won after the

1058
00:51:50,160 --> 00:51:52,240
Speaker 1: time he had run out because of a defensive penalty.

1059
00:51:52,440 --> 00:51:54,080
Speaker 1: In the NFL, you cannot end a game on a

1060
00:51:54,120 --> 00:51:58,719
Speaker 1: defensive penalty. Elvis Dumerville, Uh face mass penalty on Blake

1061
00:51:58,760 --> 00:52:02,520
Speaker 1: Boardles as time expired set up this fifty three yard

1062
00:52:02,560 --> 00:52:05,160
Speaker 1: field goal. They would not have been in within distance

1063
00:52:05,200 --> 00:52:07,600
Speaker 1: to go for it. Bortles falls down on the play,

1064
00:52:07,680 --> 00:52:10,239
Speaker 1: and then there's the face mass penalty sets up the

1065
00:52:10,239 --> 00:52:14,200
Speaker 1: fifty three yarders so unbelievable. Jason Myers redeemed himself after

1066
00:52:14,280 --> 00:52:18,319
Speaker 1: missing a easy twenty six yard chip shot early late

1067
00:52:18,360 --> 00:52:22,080
Speaker 1: in the third quarter. Mark isn't in the illustrious history

1068
00:52:22,080 --> 00:52:24,640
Speaker 1: of Cleveland Brown's Part two? Wasn't there a player who

1069
00:52:24,640 --> 00:52:28,480
Speaker 1: took his helmet off that extended a game? The game

1070
00:52:28,719 --> 00:52:31,680
Speaker 1: ended a game. That's one of them that extended the game.

1071
00:52:31,719 --> 00:52:33,719
Speaker 1: And then they kicked the field that's exactly right, and

1072
00:52:33,800 --> 00:52:35,840
Speaker 1: Kelly Hole comes through for like four hundred and fifty

1073
00:52:35,920 --> 00:52:39,000
Speaker 1: yards and none of it matters. Hank Pot was another one.

1074
00:52:39,040 --> 00:52:41,200
Speaker 1: I forget what the fourth one was. I liked your

1075
00:52:41,200 --> 00:52:43,080
Speaker 1: tweet when you said, if you're coming up with the

1076
00:52:43,120 --> 00:52:46,239
Speaker 1: five most painful losses this year, the Giants might have

1077
00:52:46,280 --> 00:52:48,520
Speaker 1: all of them, but the Cowboys would be in the next.

1078
00:52:48,880 --> 00:52:52,640
Speaker 1: The Ravens have found crazy the weekend. They've all been

1079
00:52:52,640 --> 00:52:57,080
Speaker 1: pretty close games too, at the end within eight points

1080
00:52:57,160 --> 00:52:59,600
Speaker 1: or so. That is the NFL. All these games seem

1081
00:52:59,680 --> 00:53:02,160
Speaker 1: to be close because there's not a lot of difference

1082
00:53:02,239 --> 00:53:03,840
Speaker 1: I guess at the talent level for a lot of

1083
00:53:03,840 --> 00:53:06,360
Speaker 1: the league. But yeah, I mean the Giants. They cracked

1084
00:53:06,400 --> 00:53:09,080
Speaker 1: me up because you know, I have these Giants fans

1085
00:53:09,200 --> 00:53:11,880
Speaker 1: and I have a text st ring that just I

1086
00:53:11,920 --> 00:53:13,840
Speaker 1: have to silence it on my phone, so I'm working

1087
00:53:15,480 --> 00:53:17,319
Speaker 1: and I wish I could read it, but it's there's

1088
00:53:17,320 --> 00:53:21,840
Speaker 1: so many expletives involved. Uh, just pure anger because every

1089
00:53:21,880 --> 00:53:24,080
Speaker 1: Giant sand thinks that they should be seven and two

1090
00:53:24,200 --> 00:53:26,920
Speaker 1: right now, but they're not. That's the same Giants fans

1091
00:53:26,960 --> 00:53:28,680
Speaker 1: that you invited to the Super Bowl a couple of

1092
00:53:28,719 --> 00:53:31,120
Speaker 1: years ago, that lugging each other with the Super Bowl

1093
00:53:31,120 --> 00:53:33,600
Speaker 1: trophy in their arms. So this was not an impressive

1094
00:53:33,640 --> 00:53:36,200
Speaker 1: game for Jacksonville. They had trouble moving the ball against

1095
00:53:36,200 --> 00:53:38,640
Speaker 1: the secondary and Marcu has been pointing out on a

1096
00:53:38,640 --> 00:53:41,440
Speaker 1: weekly basis, everyone throws on the Ravens, but they had

1097
00:53:41,480 --> 00:53:44,840
Speaker 1: trouble moving the ball and then the Ravens offense. Flacco's

1098
00:53:44,880 --> 00:53:47,359
Speaker 1: numbers look pretty good and and he played pretty well,

1099
00:53:47,400 --> 00:53:50,759
Speaker 1: but it's just telling that your ain is the only

1100
00:53:50,800 --> 00:53:53,440
Speaker 1: guy you're throwing two outside the numbers and you've got

1101
00:53:53,480 --> 00:53:55,560
Speaker 1: three slow tight ends that you throw too, and that's

1102
00:53:55,560 --> 00:53:58,200
Speaker 1: about it. Yeah Flacco, he had two interceptions, lost that

1103
00:53:58,320 --> 00:54:00,960
Speaker 1: fumble too in the game. I mean it was dicey

1104
00:54:01,040 --> 00:54:03,200
Speaker 1: from him. And then get that fourth win on Thursday

1105
00:54:03,280 --> 00:54:05,640
Speaker 1: night football Jacksonville. I mean, each one of these wins

1106
00:54:05,680 --> 00:54:07,759
Speaker 1: is so big to this coaching staff was just trying

1107
00:54:07,760 --> 00:54:09,560
Speaker 1: to keep a job. They can get a home win

1108
00:54:09,640 --> 00:54:11,520
Speaker 1: on Thursday Night four and six, they're kind of and

1109
00:54:11,719 --> 00:54:13,520
Speaker 1: I mean at least they can keep their jobs and

1110
00:54:13,560 --> 00:54:16,280
Speaker 1: everyone just read it's another team with a disastrous record

1111
00:54:16,320 --> 00:54:19,640
Speaker 1: that could win their division. Yeah, market has been another

1112
00:54:20,080 --> 00:54:23,040
Speaker 1: dry season for the Browns. But you are enjoying the

1113
00:54:23,160 --> 00:54:26,000
Speaker 1: Ravens going out of Flames this year, Actually not as

1114
00:54:26,040 --> 00:54:29,239
Speaker 1: much as I enjoy seeing the Jaguars win because being

1115
00:54:29,280 --> 00:54:31,640
Speaker 1: there in London and kind of being around that team,

1116
00:54:32,080 --> 00:54:34,680
Speaker 1: I think that this there. I hope they don't blow

1117
00:54:34,719 --> 00:54:37,080
Speaker 1: this thing up no matter what happens this season. Magnanimous

1118
00:54:37,120 --> 00:54:39,800
Speaker 1: of you. I want one more year from the coaching

1119
00:54:39,840 --> 00:54:42,440
Speaker 1: staff in the gym and all that business. The way

1120
00:54:42,440 --> 00:54:46,080
Speaker 1: to spend it positively, well, I tried. I'd like to

1121
00:54:46,160 --> 00:54:49,719
Speaker 1: somehow scientifically test what's inside of your heart, because I

1122
00:54:49,760 --> 00:54:52,120
Speaker 1: still feel like there's a lot of bile in there

1123
00:54:52,120 --> 00:54:55,919
Speaker 1: about Terrell Suggs and John Harby was like Ravens. Oh,

1124
00:54:55,960 --> 00:54:58,399
Speaker 1: I can't stay on the Ravens, the Ravens at all,

1125
00:54:58,400 --> 00:55:00,920
Speaker 1: but they've got their own enough of their love. The

1126
00:55:00,960 --> 00:55:03,000
Speaker 1: Ravens are having a terrible seas well. I don't want

1127
00:55:03,040 --> 00:55:04,920
Speaker 1: to see them get a higher draft pick than the Browns.

1128
00:55:04,960 --> 00:55:08,279
Speaker 1: That would be the ultimate in some games play all right,

1129
00:55:08,440 --> 00:55:12,640
Speaker 1: Speaking of the Cleveland Browns, uh, they played the Pittsburgh

1130
00:55:12,680 --> 00:55:15,320
Speaker 1: Steelers in Pittsburgh, and they were supposed to play Landry Jones,

1131
00:55:15,360 --> 00:55:18,239
Speaker 1: but Landry Jones gets hurt early in the game. Who

1132
00:55:18,280 --> 00:55:22,200
Speaker 1: comes in Van Roethlisberger. He throws you know, I don't

1133
00:55:22,200 --> 00:55:26,400
Speaker 1: even I don't know what throws for? What? Nine yards,

1134
00:55:26,880 --> 00:55:30,520
Speaker 1: three touchdowns, thirty to nine win over the Browns mark

1135
00:55:30,840 --> 00:55:33,160
Speaker 1: only the Browns could find a way to force Pittsburgh

1136
00:55:33,160 --> 00:55:35,759
Speaker 1: to beat them with Ben roethls Roethlisberg. It is the

1137
00:55:35,800 --> 00:55:38,440
Speaker 1: most Cleveland loss ever and it's been twelve in a

1138
00:55:38,520 --> 00:55:41,960
Speaker 1: row losses in Pittsburgh. The last time they won was

1139
00:55:42,000 --> 00:55:44,840
Speaker 1: two thousand and three, and it looked like all the others,

1140
00:55:45,360 --> 00:55:47,560
Speaker 1: you just don't have enough to take care of Big

1141
00:55:47,560 --> 00:55:50,080
Speaker 1: Ben and he you know, I understand he's he's so

1142
00:55:50,160 --> 00:55:53,399
Speaker 1: called he's injured. Nonsense. He looked fine to me. Came

1143
00:55:53,440 --> 00:55:55,720
Speaker 1: in and just whipped the ball all over the place.

1144
00:55:55,800 --> 00:56:00,879
Speaker 1: And Cleveland's defense is an absolute disaster. There is no

1145
00:56:00,960 --> 00:56:06,000
Speaker 1: excuse for what is happening on this side of the ball. Well,

1146
00:56:06,040 --> 00:56:07,880
Speaker 1: he has so money and they you know, and Jimmy

1147
00:56:07,920 --> 00:56:09,520
Speaker 1: has l after the game, because this was a week

1148
00:56:09,560 --> 00:56:12,280
Speaker 1: where people thought if they get waxed by Pittsburgh, which happened,

1149
00:56:12,560 --> 00:56:15,720
Speaker 1: that they could wipe this coaching staff out, and Haslem

1150
00:56:15,760 --> 00:56:18,520
Speaker 1: after the game, the owner said no, no, no big changes,

1151
00:56:18,840 --> 00:56:20,720
Speaker 1: but he did tell them they need his soul search

1152
00:56:21,000 --> 00:56:23,879
Speaker 1: what's going on because number one, they're talking about putting

1153
00:56:23,960 --> 00:56:27,600
Speaker 1: Josh McCown back in a quarterback and just floating through

1154
00:56:27,640 --> 00:56:29,440
Speaker 1: the rest of the season with not a single thing.

1155
00:56:29,480 --> 00:56:33,480
Speaker 1: For the fans the excited at least this must be

1156
00:56:33,520 --> 00:56:37,440
Speaker 1: the yards, but only nine points. It came out of

1157
00:56:37,440 --> 00:56:40,080
Speaker 1: nowhere because I was watching him and suddenly he had

1158
00:56:40,120 --> 00:56:41,759
Speaker 1: a ton of yards and he was making I need

1159
00:56:41,800 --> 00:56:44,239
Speaker 1: a couple of big throws. It was still not an

1160
00:56:44,239 --> 00:56:46,920
Speaker 1: overly impressive game by Manzelle. Frankly I think he just

1161
00:56:47,000 --> 00:56:49,879
Speaker 1: does not. He just doesn't look in control or very

1162
00:56:49,920 --> 00:56:52,880
Speaker 1: comfortable out there. And he's still learning, but he is.

1163
00:56:53,160 --> 00:56:55,640
Speaker 1: He finds a way more four or five times a

1164
00:56:55,680 --> 00:56:58,120
Speaker 1: game to escape which should be a disastrous play and

1165
00:56:58,160 --> 00:57:00,880
Speaker 1: make a throw. There's no other quarter back in Cleveland

1166
00:57:00,880 --> 00:57:02,640
Speaker 1: that can do that. So I would say ride with

1167
00:57:03,040 --> 00:57:05,560
Speaker 1: and I'll say this, and Johnny man sells defense. We get.

1168
00:57:05,719 --> 00:57:09,520
Speaker 1: We spend hours talking about things are tough for Aaron

1169
00:57:09,640 --> 00:57:12,240
Speaker 1: Rodgers because he doesn't have Jordy Nelson. What does Johnny

1170
00:57:12,280 --> 00:57:14,880
Speaker 1: Manzel have besides Gary barn Age. You know what he

1171
00:57:14,920 --> 00:57:23,480
Speaker 1: has is this is not a great offense. And yeah,

1172
00:57:23,480 --> 00:57:25,520
Speaker 1: they promised all offseason that we're gonna pound you with

1173
00:57:25,600 --> 00:57:29,400
Speaker 1: the run. Play like a fourteen carries for fifteen yards

1174
00:57:30,080 --> 00:57:34,000
Speaker 1: and and and a ton of penalty. Yeah, twelve negative.

1175
00:57:34,800 --> 00:57:36,640
Speaker 1: I mean, it's you. You want to paint a picture

1176
00:57:36,640 --> 00:57:38,720
Speaker 1: of a team that looks like it in practice last week?

1177
00:57:39,080 --> 00:57:41,840
Speaker 1: This is it, this is what's gonna happen. Whoever the

1178
00:57:41,880 --> 00:57:44,560
Speaker 1: GM is, let's just say it's a farmer. Gary Barnage.

1179
00:57:45,440 --> 00:57:49,880
Speaker 1: Knock at the door, right, farmer opens it up. I'm

1180
00:57:49,920 --> 00:57:52,520
Speaker 1: Gary barn Is You know who I am? Mate? But

1181
00:57:52,600 --> 00:57:56,480
Speaker 1: you gotta get some better playmakers around me. Man, come on,

1182
00:57:56,600 --> 00:57:58,800
Speaker 1: it's got We gotta have an offense is mega Man?

1183
00:57:59,000 --> 00:58:01,920
Speaker 1: This offense at go you know it and Kate Johnny

1184
00:58:01,960 --> 00:58:10,440
Speaker 1: football Gary Bondage out sounds accurate. You need Barnage to

1185
00:58:10,480 --> 00:58:14,000
Speaker 1: have a bigger voice in the front offices. Be a leader,

1186
00:58:14,240 --> 00:58:16,000
Speaker 1: Be a leader Barnag By the way, I know I'm

1187
00:58:16,040 --> 00:58:20,080
Speaker 1: going to get just flooded with just bile from our

1188
00:58:20,120 --> 00:58:22,680
Speaker 1: British listeners who do not like when I use my

1189
00:58:22,720 --> 00:58:25,400
Speaker 1: British accent. They find it, I think, almost offensive. But

1190
00:58:25,440 --> 00:58:30,840
Speaker 1: that's it's the best I gets remotely and accurate. Well,

1191
00:58:30,880 --> 00:58:33,920
Speaker 1: you were in London. I have never been there, you know.

1192
00:58:34,200 --> 00:58:37,400
Speaker 1: Does that not sound anything like England? Not really any reason.

1193
00:58:37,440 --> 00:58:40,000
Speaker 1: There may be a neighborhood, a small neighborhood stretcher, that's

1194
00:58:40,000 --> 00:58:42,280
Speaker 1: where Gary Bonnage a dialect, but it's a small one.

1195
00:58:42,400 --> 00:58:44,920
Speaker 1: That's where Gary is from. I can take that, go

1196
00:58:45,080 --> 00:58:48,680
Speaker 1: for it. What else? What else throws for the most

1197
00:58:48,760 --> 00:58:53,840
Speaker 1: yards ever by a relief quarterback? How does this happen?

1198
00:58:53,920 --> 00:58:56,600
Speaker 1: I don't know. How do the figure out how to

1199
00:58:56,600 --> 00:58:59,880
Speaker 1: do this? And the coaching staff be questioned for why

1200
00:59:00,040 --> 00:59:04,840
Speaker 1: wasn't I think I guess the whole idea was, probably

1201
00:59:05,240 --> 00:59:07,800
Speaker 1: we can beat the Browns with Landry Jones, and if

1202
00:59:07,800 --> 00:59:10,800
Speaker 1: it's not going well, we'll just put in Roethlisberg, because

1203
00:59:10,800 --> 00:59:13,200
Speaker 1: they wouldn't have sat there and lost with Landry Jones

1204
00:59:13,240 --> 00:59:15,520
Speaker 1: with the buy next week. That's exactly what they were doing,

1205
00:59:15,560 --> 00:59:17,640
Speaker 1: which is such a slap in the face that Cleveland

1206
00:59:17,720 --> 00:59:21,280
Speaker 1: is a franchise, total disrespect. But big Ben did say,

1207
00:59:21,280 --> 00:59:22,960
Speaker 1: I mean he got stepped on at one point, he

1208
00:59:23,000 --> 00:59:25,240
Speaker 1: was hobbling around. Other than that, he looked like a complete,

1209
00:59:25,320 --> 00:59:27,480
Speaker 1: you know, destruction robots. By the way, the Browns have

1210
00:59:27,600 --> 00:59:30,800
Speaker 1: earned that disrespect, Yes, they had. By the way, I

1211
00:59:30,840 --> 00:59:32,960
Speaker 1: just want to throw something out there might be the

1212
00:59:33,000 --> 00:59:34,840
Speaker 1: worst thing in the NFL. I hate that. Well you're

1213
00:59:34,840 --> 00:59:36,600
Speaker 1: just called the Lions that, but I think you're right.

1214
00:59:39,960 --> 00:59:42,960
Speaker 1: I just want to say, um, one thing from this game.

1215
00:59:43,520 --> 00:59:45,600
Speaker 1: It's gonna sound like a little bit of high perbole,

1216
00:59:46,040 --> 00:59:50,760
Speaker 1: but I believe that the Antonio Brown touchdown uh somersault

1217
00:59:50,840 --> 00:59:54,400
Speaker 1: into the end zone sticking the landing was the greatest

1218
00:59:54,400 --> 00:59:59,480
Speaker 1: touchdown celebration in NFL history from a pure athleticism just

1219
00:59:59,600 --> 01:00:03,760
Speaker 1: abut all, he is a gorgeous athlete, and sticking the landing.

1220
01:00:03,960 --> 01:00:06,160
Speaker 1: Think about how hard that must be. And he's a

1221
01:00:06,200 --> 01:00:09,000
Speaker 1: super he's a superhero. You can retire now he's been

1222
01:00:09,040 --> 01:00:11,360
Speaker 1: called a gorgeous athlete by Dan Hansen. You couldn't even

1223
01:00:11,400 --> 01:00:15,560
Speaker 1: that's not even necessarily literally was just part of the touchdown.

1224
01:00:15,640 --> 01:00:17,680
Speaker 1: I mean, but he did that. That was part of

1225
01:00:17,680 --> 01:00:20,240
Speaker 1: the game. He crossed the goal land like that. That's awesome.

1226
01:00:20,400 --> 01:00:22,240
Speaker 1: TD just told me in my ear that the rock

1227
01:00:23,000 --> 01:00:27,680
Speaker 1: uh he works out with Dwayne Johnson, which, yeah, I

1228
01:00:27,760 --> 01:00:29,640
Speaker 1: don't think the rock pool in that move off. I

1229
01:00:29,680 --> 01:00:31,840
Speaker 1: don't know. The Rocks pretty awesome. I I saw that

1230
01:00:32,240 --> 01:00:35,760
Speaker 1: stupid I saw that stupid earthquake movie he was in

1231
01:00:35,800 --> 01:00:39,120
Speaker 1: sant Andreas, Why but a tremendous film. It was the

1232
01:00:39,160 --> 01:00:41,400
Speaker 1: best five ninety nine I've ever spent. If you want

1233
01:00:41,400 --> 01:00:45,800
Speaker 1: to watch a brain dead movie that keeps you invested

1234
01:00:45,920 --> 01:00:49,840
Speaker 1: for ninety four straight minutes, check out San Andreas. Put

1235
01:00:49,880 --> 01:00:52,280
Speaker 1: that on the blue ray. You've definitely not had many

1236
01:00:52,320 --> 01:00:54,840
Speaker 1: good appetizers in your life. If if that's the best

1237
01:00:54,840 --> 01:00:58,800
Speaker 1: five did you ever hear? Like? I wouldn't even call

1238
01:00:58,840 --> 01:01:00,960
Speaker 1: it hate watching because it was just It's like, first

1239
01:01:01,000 --> 01:01:02,960
Speaker 1: of all, if you're living in California. It's kind of

1240
01:01:03,000 --> 01:01:07,000
Speaker 1: fun to see the entire region destroyed. Yeah, knowing that

1241
01:01:07,000 --> 01:01:09,800
Speaker 1: that could actually happen, and then when Rock is flying

1242
01:01:09,840 --> 01:01:14,080
Speaker 1: around l A and a helicopter saving lives of attractive women.

1243
01:01:16,440 --> 01:01:20,520
Speaker 1: Don't knock until you try it. Yeah, But else, let's

1244
01:01:20,600 --> 01:01:24,360
Speaker 1: move up. So the brown stink, you know, Mark, at

1245
01:01:24,400 --> 01:01:26,320
Speaker 1: least you know that the Jets have come back down

1246
01:01:26,320 --> 01:01:29,520
Speaker 1: to Earth too. We are misery and arms. Still I

1247
01:01:29,560 --> 01:01:31,600
Speaker 1: don't see that being the case. Okay, I'm just trying

1248
01:01:31,600 --> 01:01:34,479
Speaker 1: to make you feel better. Moving on, Um, the St.

1249
01:01:34,520 --> 01:01:37,800
Speaker 1: Louis Rams, But is you know Greg loves the St.

1250
01:01:37,840 --> 01:01:39,680
Speaker 1: Louis Rams. We all know that he has sandwich is

1251
01:01:39,800 --> 01:01:42,840
Speaker 1: riding on them, finishing uh in second place or better

1252
01:01:42,840 --> 01:01:44,680
Speaker 1: in the NFC West this year. It took a hit

1253
01:01:45,040 --> 01:01:48,800
Speaker 1: On Sunday. Zach Miller of the Bears caught two touchdown passes,

1254
01:01:48,800 --> 01:01:51,320
Speaker 1: and rookie Jeremy Langford, who looks like a player, had

1255
01:01:51,360 --> 01:01:54,800
Speaker 1: two more touchdowns. The Bears put it on the Rams

1256
01:01:54,840 --> 01:01:58,120
Speaker 1: thirty seven to thirteen win at the Edward James almost

1257
01:01:58,160 --> 01:02:01,240
Speaker 1: one good job covering up the concrete eat. By the way, St.

1258
01:02:01,360 --> 01:02:04,760
Speaker 1: Louis a little too late, says Reggie bush Um Colleen,

1259
01:02:05,360 --> 01:02:07,720
Speaker 1: same old story with the Rams. You want to buy in,

1260
01:02:07,800 --> 01:02:10,840
Speaker 1: but they just won't let you you. I thought going

1261
01:02:10,880 --> 01:02:13,560
Speaker 1: into this game that they would absolutely win this game

1262
01:02:13,600 --> 01:02:15,440
Speaker 1: and then that would put them in great position in

1263
01:02:15,480 --> 01:02:18,640
Speaker 1: the division. But just like the Rams do, I mean

1264
01:02:18,680 --> 01:02:21,080
Speaker 1: a bad team at home. Now, yes, the Bears have

1265
01:02:21,120 --> 01:02:23,360
Speaker 1: been playing better, but they just could do it. They

1266
01:02:23,360 --> 01:02:26,640
Speaker 1: got down early in this game and then Todd Gurley

1267
01:02:26,760 --> 01:02:28,360
Speaker 1: was nowhere to be found. I mean he on that

1268
01:02:28,400 --> 01:02:31,200
Speaker 1: opening drive, had a nice catch on the screen pass

1269
01:02:31,320 --> 01:02:33,320
Speaker 1: and he that was when we saw the hurdle. I

1270
01:02:33,360 --> 01:02:35,040
Speaker 1: don't know if you guys saw it, but it was awesome.

1271
01:02:35,360 --> 01:02:38,480
Speaker 1: After that though, nothing They couldn't run them at all,

1272
01:02:38,600 --> 01:02:40,840
Speaker 1: and then you put the ball in Nick foles hands.

1273
01:02:40,920 --> 01:02:44,560
Speaker 1: Another that's a mess, and another shot at you know West.

1274
01:02:44,600 --> 01:02:46,080
Speaker 1: You like to say that Jake Cutler is the worst

1275
01:02:46,120 --> 01:02:51,680
Speaker 1: quarterback ever. Nineteen against St. Louis's stout defense in St.

1276
01:02:51,720 --> 01:02:57,520
Speaker 1: Louis nineteen three touchdowns, no interceptions, a one fifty one

1277
01:02:57,600 --> 01:03:00,760
Speaker 1: passer rating ninety point two QBR. If you're into that thing,

1278
01:03:01,080 --> 01:03:04,200
Speaker 1: that's a very nice game. Helps to destroy Greg Williams

1279
01:03:04,240 --> 01:03:07,320
Speaker 1: Blitz today. He was really effective against the Blitz I

1280
01:03:07,480 --> 01:03:10,840
Speaker 1: don't want to go wild when Zach Miller and Jeremy

1281
01:03:10,920 --> 01:03:13,360
Speaker 1: Langford did most of the work on those eight yard touchdowns.

1282
01:03:13,400 --> 01:03:15,680
Speaker 1: But yeah, it's pretty good game for Jacob. He's putting

1283
01:03:15,720 --> 01:03:17,440
Speaker 1: on some good tape right now. If he's gonna be

1284
01:03:17,480 --> 01:03:19,960
Speaker 1: somewhere else next year, he's having a good season. I mean,

1285
01:03:20,320 --> 01:03:23,160
Speaker 1: you guys just get sucked in by him. That's some

1286
01:03:23,280 --> 01:03:25,200
Speaker 1: teams canna overpay for him, and now I'm not. I'm

1287
01:03:25,240 --> 01:03:28,200
Speaker 1: not paying for him a franchise quarterback. But he could

1288
01:03:28,200 --> 01:03:30,360
Speaker 1: be a decent quarterback. He could be Rynd Fitzpatrick. You

1289
01:03:30,360 --> 01:03:32,880
Speaker 1: put him on the Rams and they'd be making the playoffs.

1290
01:03:33,080 --> 01:03:36,600
Speaker 1: He probably detonate their offense to get there off, get

1291
01:03:36,600 --> 01:03:39,160
Speaker 1: their stamp fired. It's so hard to trust him, I know.

1292
01:03:39,200 --> 01:03:41,240
Speaker 1: I don't know why people act like he's trustworth. Maybe

1293
01:03:41,280 --> 01:03:44,880
Speaker 1: he is the perfect Rams then the non trustworthy quarterback

1294
01:03:44,920 --> 01:03:48,560
Speaker 1: on the nontrustworthy team. Put him together. Maybe two negatives

1295
01:03:48,600 --> 01:03:50,560
Speaker 1: create a positive. I mean, the Rams want to go

1296
01:03:50,600 --> 01:03:52,560
Speaker 1: seven to nine and they're on targets, so I don't

1297
01:03:52,560 --> 01:03:54,600
Speaker 1: see what the process their job. It's a good point

1298
01:03:55,000 --> 01:03:57,920
Speaker 1: this team, they're not really built to play from behind

1299
01:03:58,080 --> 01:04:00,480
Speaker 1: at all. But They're not really built to play offense

1300
01:04:00,640 --> 01:04:06,000
Speaker 1: when it's close, the play offense. I don't know why

1301
01:04:06,040 --> 01:04:08,800
Speaker 1: they didn't go back to Gurley though at all. I mean,

1302
01:04:08,960 --> 01:04:10,960
Speaker 1: you know that you really don't have anything in the

1303
01:04:10,960 --> 01:04:12,920
Speaker 1: passing game. I think they're they're one of the worst,

1304
01:04:12,920 --> 01:04:15,120
Speaker 1: if not the worst, in the NFL passing game. And

1305
01:04:15,480 --> 01:04:17,800
Speaker 1: you you have Todd Gurley there, why not try and

1306
01:04:17,840 --> 01:04:19,680
Speaker 1: run him. John Fox, I think has done one of

1307
01:04:19,720 --> 01:04:21,800
Speaker 1: the best coaching jobs in the league, which paintons me

1308
01:04:22,080 --> 01:04:26,360
Speaker 1: to say usually enjoy hammering him. They they're a team

1309
01:04:26,400 --> 01:04:28,120
Speaker 1: that could be looking at the way some of these

1310
01:04:28,160 --> 01:04:30,320
Speaker 1: games have ended and really feel like they should be

1311
01:04:30,400 --> 01:04:33,440
Speaker 1: six and three. I mean, they have won some games

1312
01:04:33,440 --> 01:04:35,600
Speaker 1: pretty clearly one some close ones at the end that

1313
01:04:35,600 --> 01:04:38,120
Speaker 1: they really shouldn't have. They've been in every game other

1314
01:04:38,200 --> 01:04:41,000
Speaker 1: than that Seahawks one was Jimmy Clawson. They're playing pretty well.

1315
01:04:41,200 --> 01:04:44,760
Speaker 1: Your boy, your boy, nick Foles. Nick Foles. They say

1316
01:04:44,800 --> 01:04:46,480
Speaker 1: your boy because last week he said he was like

1317
01:04:46,520 --> 01:04:48,560
Speaker 1: one of the best deep throwers in the league. I said,

1318
01:04:48,560 --> 01:04:50,920
Speaker 1: he can throw it. I don't think really far about

1319
01:04:51,080 --> 01:04:55,520
Speaker 1: easily said Nick Foles has a giant hose. He said

1320
01:04:56,080 --> 01:04:58,720
Speaker 1: it was weird. Oh, for twelve on passes of tang

1321
01:04:58,800 --> 01:05:02,640
Speaker 1: plush yards down feet off went really far, though most

1322
01:05:02,840 --> 01:05:05,800
Speaker 1: attempts on such passes without a completion in the last

1323
01:05:05,800 --> 01:05:11,640
Speaker 1: ten years. And to add insult to injury, Brandon behind

1324
01:05:11,640 --> 01:05:14,720
Speaker 1: the Glass can help us out with this. Martellis Bennett

1325
01:05:15,320 --> 01:05:17,959
Speaker 1: one of the Bennett brothers. Always they have interesting things.

1326
01:05:19,000 --> 01:05:21,360
Speaker 1: Marte Hellis Bennett had this to say about the St.

1327
01:05:21,360 --> 01:05:24,080
Speaker 1: Louis rams. I mean it was good pint gifts. I mean,

1328
01:05:24,080 --> 01:05:26,600
Speaker 1: I consider St. Louis Seattle's little brothers. So this is

1329
01:05:26,600 --> 01:05:32,160
Speaker 1: a bunch of front runners meet seven. Um so me overall,

1330
01:05:32,200 --> 01:05:33,800
Speaker 1: I'll just happy to go out there and kick their ass.

1331
01:05:36,480 --> 01:05:39,040
Speaker 1: Is Eugene Sims a defensive end for St. Louis. How

1332
01:05:39,120 --> 01:05:41,960
Speaker 1: can you be somebody's little brother and also a front runner.

1333
01:05:42,440 --> 01:05:44,960
Speaker 1: I didn't get the connection. Well, there there was some

1334
01:05:45,040 --> 01:05:47,880
Speaker 1: sort of altercation I guess with Eugene Sims during the game. Yeah,

1335
01:05:47,920 --> 01:05:50,120
Speaker 1: if they're front runners, they're the worst front runners ever

1336
01:05:50,160 --> 01:05:53,760
Speaker 1: because they are ever in front. You're aim from the

1337
01:05:53,800 --> 01:05:56,360
Speaker 1: one of the Bennett brothers. Yeah, no, that's a good point.

1338
01:05:57,040 --> 01:05:59,400
Speaker 1: I don't trust the Bennett brother They're so funny and

1339
01:05:59,440 --> 01:06:04,040
Speaker 1: provound profound in Zany though. Yeah, so Greg you are,

1340
01:06:04,080 --> 01:06:07,320
Speaker 1: You're you're nervous about them being a team that's going

1341
01:06:07,360 --> 01:06:10,680
Speaker 1: to contend or get second place. Sandwiches on the line. Well,

1342
01:06:10,720 --> 01:06:13,000
Speaker 1: they could still get second place. But these two losses

1343
01:06:13,000 --> 01:06:16,520
Speaker 1: back to back were the types of games that losing

1344
01:06:16,680 --> 01:06:21,080
Speaker 1: bad teams. So they're not looking very good. I'm not

1345
01:06:21,120 --> 01:06:23,280
Speaker 1: giving up on them. See how much it pains you

1346
01:06:23,360 --> 01:06:25,360
Speaker 1: to say that sentence. Yeah, they're not giving up. And

1347
01:06:25,400 --> 01:06:27,640
Speaker 1: then four and five year in the mix. That's big

1348
01:06:27,680 --> 01:06:32,240
Speaker 1: of you. You're saying I'm not perfect. I'm not. I'm

1349
01:06:32,280 --> 01:06:34,680
Speaker 1: not giving up on my beliefs. But I'm also I

1350
01:06:34,720 --> 01:06:38,400
Speaker 1: know in danger here? Would you know where that's going?

1351
01:06:38,640 --> 01:06:42,920
Speaker 1: Would you start? Case? Keenum over nick fools? Nick Foles

1352
01:06:42,960 --> 01:06:48,640
Speaker 1: completed of his passes? Why not? Then? Right? I was

1353
01:06:48,680 --> 01:06:54,760
Speaker 1: wondering why flag flow? I was wondering why Christmas a

1354
01:06:54,840 --> 01:06:57,680
Speaker 1: little straighter? He's like, forgot about that, He's keen them

1355
01:06:57,680 --> 01:07:01,280
Speaker 1: played today. I forgot about the case keen crutch of two.

1356
01:07:03,080 --> 01:07:06,880

01:07:44,160 --> 01:07:46,760
Speaker 1: just for the awkward iso, caam, you need to be

1367
01:07:46,800 --> 01:07:49,800
Speaker 1: watching this because it's not getting It's still up. It's

1368
01:07:49,840 --> 01:07:54,320
Speaker 1: still there, happening. Each second passes. All right, thank you, Colleen. Alright,

1369
01:07:54,360 --> 01:07:58,000
Speaker 1: Colleen has left us, as has Mark Sessler, who had

1370
01:07:58,040 --> 01:08:00,320
Speaker 1: some family things that tend to I think we could

1371
01:08:00,360 --> 01:08:02,920
Speaker 1: take it away from here from there, though, guys, because

1372
01:08:02,960 --> 01:08:06,240
Speaker 1: we have a team to talk about a very special

1373
01:08:06,240 --> 01:08:13,720
Speaker 1: team that achieved a very special honor. Oh yes, it

1374
01:08:13,880 --> 01:08:17,800
Speaker 1: is the Arizona Cardinals who are in the driver's seat

1375
01:08:17,800 --> 01:08:21,200
Speaker 1: in the NFC West after a thirty nine, thirty two

1376
01:08:21,320 --> 01:08:25,040
Speaker 1: victory over the Seattle Seahawks at the Clink, a huge

1377
01:08:25,080 --> 01:08:28,439
Speaker 1: win in prime time for Carson Palmer and company. Palmer

1378
01:08:28,520 --> 01:08:31,680
Speaker 1: three for three hundred sixty three yards three touchdowns. Arizona

1379
01:08:31,680 --> 01:08:35,400
Speaker 1: had a nineteen nothing lead in this game, initially seven

1380
01:08:35,400 --> 01:08:37,200
Speaker 1: at the half. They gave it all the way back

1381
01:08:37,439 --> 01:08:40,720
Speaker 1: to the point where they were trailing early in the

1382
01:08:40,760 --> 01:08:44,040
Speaker 1: fourth after Bobby Wagner ran back in a fumble return.

1383
01:08:44,120 --> 01:08:47,320
Speaker 1: But this is when yes and Greg, as you know,

1384
01:08:47,439 --> 01:08:52,360
Speaker 1: I am the president of statement games. This was a

1385
01:08:52,360 --> 01:08:55,559
Speaker 1: statement game by the Cardinals because with the clink going

1386
01:08:55,640 --> 01:08:59,160
Speaker 1: absolutely bonkers after Seattle took the lead, what does Arizona

1387
01:08:59,200 --> 01:09:02,240
Speaker 1: do in its final two positions? Possessions Bang a d

1388
01:09:02,439 --> 01:09:06,240
Speaker 1: R touchdown, Uh, march bang another a d R touchdown

1389
01:09:06,360 --> 01:09:11,799
Speaker 1: march uh. Game over drew Stanton dancing West, beaming Greg

1390
01:09:11,840 --> 01:09:14,800
Speaker 1: getting all excited and guess what the team of h

1391
01:09:15,040 --> 01:09:17,799
Speaker 1: L is surging at seven and two West. What a game?

1392
01:09:17,840 --> 01:09:19,960
Speaker 1: This had a little bit of everything. The Cardinals are

1393
01:09:20,040 --> 01:09:22,840
Speaker 1: up two or sixty nine yards to eighty nine yards

1394
01:09:22,880 --> 01:09:26,679
Speaker 1: at halftime. Seahawks storm back back to back possessions, Strip

1395
01:09:26,720 --> 01:09:31,000
Speaker 1: sacked Carson Palmer. It was like an avalanche. It didn't

1396
01:09:31,040 --> 01:09:34,759
Speaker 1: look like Arizona's offensive line could block the Seattle Blitzers

1397
01:09:34,760 --> 01:09:37,840
Speaker 1: with the offensive line shuffling, and then Arizona comes back.

1398
01:09:37,880 --> 01:09:40,880
Speaker 1: They find their metal. They find their backbone, fight back

1399
01:09:40,920 --> 01:09:45,080
Speaker 1: with two big drives, Andrea Ellington's skirting the sideline and

1400
01:09:45,120 --> 01:09:47,759
Speaker 1: Drew Stanton going crazy. I don't think Bruce arians would

1401
01:09:47,840 --> 01:09:50,160
Speaker 1: have it any other way, he told Chris Collins, where

1402
01:09:50,200 --> 01:09:52,360
Speaker 1: this is kind of one of those hump games they

1403
01:09:52,360 --> 01:09:54,240
Speaker 1: need to get over for them to be the team

1404
01:09:54,240 --> 01:09:56,240
Speaker 1: that he believes they should be. They have to go

1405
01:09:56,280 --> 01:09:58,559
Speaker 1: to Seattle and win a game and to be put

1406
01:09:58,600 --> 01:10:02,200
Speaker 1: in a situation where they had that much adversity in

1407
01:10:02,280 --> 01:10:04,920
Speaker 1: the fourth quarter and then to come through. That's money

1408
01:10:04,920 --> 01:10:06,559
Speaker 1: in the bank that they should be able to cash

1409
01:10:06,560 --> 01:10:08,800
Speaker 1: in all year. Forget about the NFC West. I mean,

1410
01:10:09,080 --> 01:10:11,960
Speaker 1: the Seahawks have an uphill battle to make the playoffs

1411
01:10:12,040 --> 01:10:15,000
Speaker 1: right now. The NFC West is going to be the

1412
01:10:15,080 --> 01:10:18,599
Speaker 1: Cardinals unless something seriously goes wrong, and something seriously went

1413
01:10:18,640 --> 01:10:21,439
Speaker 1: wrong last year with Carson Palmer blowing z a c L.

1414
01:10:21,520 --> 01:10:24,160
Speaker 1: But that's really it seems to me the only way

1415
01:10:24,200 --> 01:10:26,760
Speaker 1: that this team could be stopped now getting into the

1416
01:10:26,800 --> 01:10:29,679
Speaker 1: playoffs and being a high seed in the playoffs. And really,

1417
01:10:29,720 --> 01:10:32,559
Speaker 1: I mean, I know Seattle has been failing to close

1418
01:10:32,600 --> 01:10:35,639
Speaker 1: all season and they have not had a great season,

1419
01:10:35,640 --> 01:10:37,639
Speaker 1: and that in that right, but I thought this game

1420
01:10:37,680 --> 01:10:41,559
Speaker 1: was over. I mean the title wave, um just to

1421
01:10:41,640 --> 01:10:44,240
Speaker 1: hear the click as loud as it was. That's why

1422
01:10:44,280 --> 01:10:48,120
Speaker 1: it was a statement game to Arizon's just really despite

1423
01:10:48,120 --> 01:10:51,280
Speaker 1: its still only being at that point, you would have

1424
01:10:51,320 --> 01:10:53,280
Speaker 1: thought that the Seahawks were going to run away with

1425
01:10:53,320 --> 01:10:56,519
Speaker 1: it because it swung, and yet the team of a

1426
01:10:56,640 --> 01:10:59,000
Speaker 1: t L. I love that it was John Brown and

1427
01:10:59,000 --> 01:11:01,719
Speaker 1: Andrea Hellington coming up with the big plays down the stretch,

1428
01:11:01,760 --> 01:11:05,559
Speaker 1: because this really is a team and they've got their depth.

1429
01:11:05,600 --> 01:11:08,719
Speaker 1: We talked about Larry Fitzgerald and John Brown and Chris Johnson,

1430
01:11:09,120 --> 01:11:11,720
Speaker 1: but they go so deep at all those positions that

1431
01:11:11,840 --> 01:11:13,960
Speaker 1: you can have in Andre Ellington with a huge play,

1432
01:11:14,000 --> 01:11:16,479
Speaker 1: and Jeron Brown made three big plays in the fourth

1433
01:11:16,560 --> 01:11:18,880
Speaker 1: quarter after Michael Floyd at to Hampstead. And the best

1434
01:11:18,880 --> 01:11:22,719
Speaker 1: secondary in this game was the Arizona Cardinals secondary and

1435
01:11:22,960 --> 01:11:25,799
Speaker 1: Russell Wilson did not have a very good game overall.

1436
01:11:25,960 --> 01:11:28,120
Speaker 1: You know, they moved the ball right after halftime, but

1437
01:11:28,200 --> 01:11:30,120
Speaker 1: for the first half they struggled and then then at

1438
01:11:30,160 --> 01:11:31,880
Speaker 1: the fourth quarter they didn't come up with the big

1439
01:11:31,880 --> 01:11:35,600
Speaker 1: plays either. And Tyrone Matthew and just that entire secondaries

1440
01:11:35,640 --> 01:11:38,040
Speaker 1: playing well, so many things in this game were similar

1441
01:11:38,080 --> 01:11:40,120
Speaker 1: to other Cardinals games where they really could have had

1442
01:11:40,120 --> 01:11:42,679
Speaker 1: a bigger lead. They had I thought a statement drive

1443
01:11:42,720 --> 01:11:44,960
Speaker 1: early in the game of fifteen play drive, but Palmer

1444
01:11:45,040 --> 01:11:47,400
Speaker 1: throws a bad interception at the end of it. They

1445
01:11:47,439 --> 01:11:49,240
Speaker 1: could have put up more points in the first half

1446
01:11:49,280 --> 01:11:51,559
Speaker 1: than they really did. It looked like it was going

1447
01:11:51,600 --> 01:11:54,320
Speaker 1: to come back to Hunt didn't in the end. Let's

1448
01:11:54,360 --> 01:11:57,480
Speaker 1: give Carson Palmer some credit because there is this ongoing

1449
01:11:57,640 --> 01:12:00,320
Speaker 1: narrative about Cam Newton deserves to be in the m

1450
01:12:00,360 --> 01:12:03,240
Speaker 1: v P race and everyone's overlooking Cam Newton, and perhaps

1451
01:12:03,280 --> 01:12:06,599
Speaker 1: that's true, but nobody's talking about Carson Palmer as someone

1452
01:12:06,640 --> 01:12:09,040
Speaker 1: that should be in that discussion. I know Tom Brady

1453
01:12:10,120 --> 01:12:12,799
Speaker 1: the leader. He now is twenty three touchdowns at second

1454
01:12:12,840 --> 01:12:15,880
Speaker 1: in the NFL to Brady just six picks. I mean,

1455
01:12:15,880 --> 01:12:18,240
Speaker 1: he's on pace to throw close to five thousand yards.

1456
01:12:18,240 --> 01:12:20,240
Speaker 1: Is passed raining, He's off the charts at one ten.

1457
01:12:20,640 --> 01:12:24,160
Speaker 1: He is having a killer season. At age he'd be

1458
01:12:24,200 --> 01:12:26,759
Speaker 1: second on my list. And all the silly people talking

1459
01:12:26,840 --> 01:12:30,000
Speaker 1: Charles Woodson and keep Tweed for Defensive Player of the Year,

1460
01:12:30,160 --> 01:12:32,360
Speaker 1: they all want to be watching Tyer Matthew play football

1461
01:12:32,360 --> 01:12:34,519
Speaker 1: this year. Well, Palmer hasn't had a lot of those

1462
01:12:34,560 --> 01:12:39,200
Speaker 1: big national games where he's excelled, and now he has

1463
01:12:39,280 --> 01:12:41,760
Speaker 1: this one, and then next week he's got the Bengals

1464
01:12:41,840 --> 01:12:45,120
Speaker 1: on Sunday night football again. So now it's time for

1465
01:12:45,160 --> 01:12:47,360
Speaker 1: them to start winning some of these lot of storylines

1466
01:12:47,400 --> 01:12:49,759
Speaker 1: in that game, a lot of narratives. Carson Palmer against

1467
01:12:49,760 --> 01:12:53,439
Speaker 1: the Bengals. I like it. That was West who some

1468
01:12:53,560 --> 01:12:55,640
Speaker 1: of you, some of you might know, used to be

1469
01:12:55,680 --> 01:12:58,680
Speaker 1: a Bengals and Carson Palmer was the last quarterback that

1470
01:12:58,720 --> 01:13:02,439
Speaker 1: you enjoyed or struggled with in Cincinnati. No, I didn't

1471
01:13:02,520 --> 01:13:04,320
Speaker 1: enjoy it. That was well past the time where I

1472
01:13:04,400 --> 01:13:08,920
Speaker 1: was done giving him up. I enjoyed kind of fuzzy.

1473
01:13:09,120 --> 01:13:12,400
Speaker 1: I love that two thousand five team. I loved hard

1474
01:13:12,479 --> 01:13:16,759
Speaker 1: knocks in general. And and he wanted out. He didn't

1475
01:13:16,800 --> 01:13:19,040
Speaker 1: want to work for Mike Brown. Now Here he is

1476
01:13:19,080 --> 01:13:21,160
Speaker 1: in a in a big game, not two teams that

1477
01:13:21,240 --> 01:13:23,640
Speaker 1: might be headed to a buy and the Bengals in

1478
01:13:23,680 --> 01:13:25,680
Speaker 1: the Cardinals. Is that a Sunday night game next week?

1479
01:13:25,840 --> 01:13:28,920
Speaker 1: That is the flex that in coming in nice. We

1480
01:13:29,000 --> 01:13:31,920
Speaker 1: have to rearrange our podcast around that game. What a

1481
01:13:31,920 --> 01:13:35,639
Speaker 1: great game that's gonna be. You see it's because Cincinnati's evolved.

1482
01:13:35,760 --> 01:13:37,880
Speaker 1: It's in your blood. The team of a t L

1483
01:13:38,000 --> 01:13:41,920
Speaker 1: is involved. Anybody have any other takeaways from this game

1484
01:13:42,479 --> 01:13:45,919
Speaker 1: anything with Seattle, Greg I just Cliff Favorite was amazing.

1485
01:13:46,000 --> 01:13:48,799
Speaker 1: But I think in the end again the defense collapsing

1486
01:13:48,840 --> 01:13:51,320
Speaker 1: in the fourth quarter, and again again the offensive line

1487
01:13:51,320 --> 01:13:53,280
Speaker 1: and the offense not really playing that well. I think

1488
01:13:53,760 --> 01:13:56,360
Speaker 1: their schedule isn't bad going down the stretch, but now

1489
01:13:56,520 --> 01:13:58,879
Speaker 1: we're at the point where you can't just be like, Okay,

1490
01:13:59,080 --> 01:14:01,519
Speaker 1: Seattle is gonna fit everything and they're gonna coast into

1491
01:14:01,520 --> 01:14:04,679
Speaker 1: the playoffs. It's not gonna be that easy. Well, they're

1492
01:14:04,840 --> 01:14:06,679
Speaker 1: not the same team they were last year. We saw

1493
01:14:06,760 --> 01:14:09,559
Speaker 1: Bill Barnwell tweeted a stat the Cardinals scored as many

1494
01:14:09,560 --> 01:14:11,720
Speaker 1: points in this game as the Seahawks gave up in

1495
01:14:11,760 --> 01:14:15,599
Speaker 1: the last six games combined last year. So yes, the

1496
01:14:15,640 --> 01:14:19,240
Speaker 1: Seahawks are definitely in some danger now and the Cardinals

1497
01:14:19,280 --> 01:14:22,360
Speaker 1: flying high, making us proud of You know, anybody's tweeting

1498
01:14:22,360 --> 01:14:24,960
Speaker 1: at us halfway, you know, when the Seahawks are making

1499
01:14:25,000 --> 01:14:27,720
Speaker 1: their charge and saying, oh you guys cursing the team

1500
01:14:27,720 --> 01:14:30,200
Speaker 1: of eight tales a curse, curses. We got a lot

1501
01:14:30,240 --> 01:14:32,320
Speaker 1: more tweets though that we're friendly tweets saying what a

1502
