Man, Like, as soon as. 21 00:01:07,120 --> 00:01:10,600 Speaker 3: I win cash on brock Purty, I'm like, look at 22 00:01:10,640 --> 00:01:14,000 Speaker 3: the playmaking ability of this guy. Huh, people are sleeping 23 00:01:14,080 --> 00:01:18,160 Speaker 3: on this guy. Look how savvy brock Purty is right here. Listen, man, 24 00:01:18,240 --> 00:01:21,600 Speaker 3: he played great. It was crazy too because he started 25 00:01:21,640 --> 00:01:26,039 Speaker 3: off throwing a pick six very first play of the game. First, 26 00:01:26,240 --> 00:01:29,040 Speaker 3: all right, what's Brock got what's number thirteen got dialed up? 27 00:01:29,040 --> 00:01:31,800 Speaker 3: He's got a pick six dialed up? And since that 28 00:01:31,920 --> 00:01:36,039 Speaker 3: point he was fantastic. He had a play where he 29 00:01:36,160 --> 00:01:38,880 Speaker 3: bought time. They're close to the goal line, right around 30 00:01:38,920 --> 00:01:41,920 Speaker 3: the ten yard line, and he's buying time. Looks like 31 00:01:41,959 --> 00:01:44,720 Speaker 3: he's gonna scramble at the line of scrimmage is the five. 32 00:01:45,200 --> 00:01:46,160 Speaker 2: Looks like he's gonna run. 33 00:01:46,240 --> 00:01:48,520 Speaker 3: No, he's gonna He stopped at the last second, and 34 00:01:48,560 --> 00:01:51,560 Speaker 3: he found Kyle yuscheck the side of the end zone. 35 00:01:51,600 --> 00:01:53,640 Speaker 2: Touchdown. It was a It was a brilliant play. 36 00:01:54,520 --> 00:01:59,240 Speaker 3: So listen watching Sunday night football, and for a for 37 00:01:59,320 --> 00:02:01,920 Speaker 3: a second here before I get to a thought of 38 00:02:02,000 --> 00:02:03,960 Speaker 3: two things can be true at the same time. 39 00:02:04,400 --> 00:02:06,800 Speaker 2: What a game? What a game? 40 00:02:07,480 --> 00:02:10,520 Speaker 3: You know? I think we get so cynical sometimes, and 41 00:02:10,600 --> 00:02:13,200 Speaker 3: listen to me as a sports better. I can be 42 00:02:13,320 --> 00:02:16,000 Speaker 3: sour someday I just have a bad day and make 43 00:02:16,080 --> 00:02:19,680 Speaker 3: bad picks. I gotta talk to Justin Cooper about my 44 00:02:19,720 --> 00:02:22,160 Speaker 3: confidence pool. Oh my gosh, it's a bad day. It's 45 00:02:22,160 --> 00:02:22,560 Speaker 3: a bad day. 46 00:02:22,560 --> 00:02:22,919 Speaker 2: For years. 47 00:02:22,960 --> 00:02:25,040 Speaker 3: Truly, it was really just a one o'clock games, the 48 00:02:25,080 --> 00:02:27,800 Speaker 3: early start games, terrible two and five. 49 00:02:27,919 --> 00:02:29,519 Speaker 2: But I won't bore you with that. You don't care. 50 00:02:29,600 --> 00:02:30,040 Speaker 2: I get it. 51 00:02:30,840 --> 00:02:34,679 Speaker 3: But the point is sometimes we can get sour. Sometimes 52 00:02:34,680 --> 00:02:36,880 Speaker 3: it just turns it. I don't know, there's something in 53 00:02:36,919 --> 00:02:39,320 Speaker 3: your life not going well, something with your day not 54 00:02:39,440 --> 00:02:42,079 Speaker 3: going well, and it just turns into, oh gosh, these games, 55 00:02:42,880 --> 00:02:45,200 Speaker 3: and you just you're like, man, man, man, with everything 56 00:02:45,240 --> 00:02:49,960 Speaker 3: that you say. That Sunday night game between the Bears 57 00:02:49,960 --> 00:02:51,680 Speaker 3: and Niners, forty nine. 58 00:02:51,560 --> 00:02:53,720 Speaker 2: Ers win it, forty two to thirty eight. 59 00:02:54,400 --> 00:03:00,519 Speaker 3: That game was awesome, like an instant classic back and 60 00:03:00,560 --> 00:03:04,959 Speaker 3: forth you know fight. It was a heavyweight, fifteen round 61 00:03:05,040 --> 00:03:08,000 Speaker 3: prize fight. It was amazing. It was a great stat 62 00:03:08,480 --> 00:03:11,200 Speaker 3: that Mike Tarrico shared. This is at the very beginning 63 00:03:11,240 --> 00:03:14,160 Speaker 3: of the fourth quarter. This is the stat. This is crazy, 64 00:03:14,280 --> 00:03:15,840 Speaker 3: a little piece of NFL history. 65 00:03:16,040 --> 00:03:19,600 Speaker 4: For the first time in a regular season game, we've 66 00:03:19,639 --> 00:03:24,680 Speaker 4: been tied at seven, fourteen, twenty one, twenty eight, and 67 00:03:24,800 --> 00:03:27,600 Speaker 4: thirty five. Never happened in the regular season once in 68 00:03:27,639 --> 00:03:28,440 Speaker 4: the postseason. 69 00:03:29,160 --> 00:03:32,480 Speaker 2: How about that. I like the little ding ding ding. 70 00:03:32,800 --> 00:03:34,920 Speaker 3: We got the NBC chimes in there. We got to 71 00:03:34,920 --> 00:03:38,160 Speaker 3: get that right. They gotta be branded. That game is 72 00:03:38,160 --> 00:03:41,560 Speaker 3: an opportunity for brand recognition right there. But what a 73 00:03:41,600 --> 00:03:45,960 Speaker 3: stat right we're tied at sevens, fourteens, twenty one, twenty eight, 74 00:03:46,360 --> 00:03:49,720 Speaker 3: thirty Five's a piece that that was amazing, man. And 75 00:03:49,760 --> 00:03:52,760 Speaker 3: then a defensive play. How many times do you see 76 00:03:52,800 --> 00:03:56,080 Speaker 3: these NFL games or college games and it's just a shootout. 77 00:03:56,440 --> 00:04:00,480 Speaker 3: Both quarterbacks Brock Purdy Caleb Williams, they each throw for 78 00:04:00,600 --> 00:04:04,360 Speaker 3: over three hundred yards. Just a shootout, shootout at the 79 00:04:04,480 --> 00:04:09,040 Speaker 3: SF Corral. Sorry, that's that's not pre orchestrated corningess. That's 80 00:04:09,120 --> 00:04:12,720 Speaker 3: on the fly corniness right there. It's just a shootout, 81 00:04:13,080 --> 00:04:16,920 Speaker 3: just dialing them up wide open offense. Defenses can't stop 82 00:04:16,960 --> 00:04:20,160 Speaker 3: anything or anybody. And then the last play of the game, 83 00:04:20,440 --> 00:04:24,040 Speaker 3: San Francisco puts enough heat on Caleb Williams and they 84 00:04:24,080 --> 00:04:28,200 Speaker 3: force a little bit of a short throw incomplete. Forty 85 00:04:28,279 --> 00:04:32,360 Speaker 3: nine Ers win and forty nine Ers host. The Seahawks 86 00:04:32,880 --> 00:04:36,840 Speaker 3: winner gets the one seed in the NFC. That was 87 00:04:37,480 --> 00:04:40,880 Speaker 3: That was just an unbelievable game, man. It was great, 88 00:04:41,040 --> 00:04:45,320 Speaker 3: great entertainment, and I was just happy to sit back 89 00:04:45,360 --> 00:04:48,720 Speaker 3: and enjoy it, you know. And I think this this 90 00:04:48,760 --> 00:04:51,240 Speaker 3: is another thing that I take away from Sunday Night Football. Man, 91 00:04:51,279 --> 00:04:53,120 Speaker 3: we'll get to all of this stuff. We'll get to 92 00:04:53,640 --> 00:04:56,680 Speaker 3: Josh Allen. I don't know what happened to Josh Allen. 93 00:04:56,760 --> 00:05:00,600 Speaker 3: Josh Allen is fantastic. It's got a wide open two 94 00:05:00,600 --> 00:05:04,719 Speaker 3: point throw to win the game, and he just he's 95 00:05:04,839 --> 00:05:06,839 Speaker 3: missed a wide open guy. We'll get to Josh Allen 96 00:05:07,000 --> 00:05:09,839 Speaker 3: in a second. That was unbelievable, just missing a bunny 97 00:05:09,920 --> 00:05:13,320 Speaker 3: that was a finger roll and he's like the iceman 98 00:05:13,480 --> 00:05:16,480 Speaker 3: George Gervin with finger rolls, and somehow he missed the 99 00:05:16,520 --> 00:05:17,080 Speaker 3: finger roll. 100 00:05:17,440 --> 00:05:19,920 Speaker 2: I don't know what happened with Josh Allen there. 101 00:05:19,920 --> 00:05:23,920 Speaker 3: But the other thing I took away from Sunday Night 102 00:05:23,960 --> 00:05:29,520 Speaker 3: Football actually ties to Saturday Night football when we saw 103 00:05:29,720 --> 00:05:34,039 Speaker 3: Derrick Henry go crazy against the Packers and we also 104 00:05:34,080 --> 00:05:38,120 Speaker 3: saw Brock Purdy go crazy against the Bears. I think 105 00:05:38,200 --> 00:05:41,800 Speaker 3: two things can be true at the same time, and 106 00:05:42,640 --> 00:05:46,760 Speaker 3: a lot of fans, a lot of listeners don't like 107 00:05:47,040 --> 00:05:49,320 Speaker 3: the two things can be true at the same time. 108 00:05:49,520 --> 00:05:49,719 Speaker 2: Thing. 109 00:05:50,839 --> 00:05:55,640 Speaker 3: The thing that's true in two very conflicting ways with 110 00:05:55,760 --> 00:05:59,000 Speaker 3: the Saturday Saturday night game between the Ravens, you know, 111 00:05:59,040 --> 00:06:04,920 Speaker 3: beating the Packers, the Niners beating the Bears. Derrick Henry 112 00:06:05,360 --> 00:06:11,760 Speaker 3: was unbelievable. Okay, thirty six carries, two hundred and sixteen yards, 113 00:06:12,440 --> 00:06:17,640 Speaker 3: four touchdowns. The Ravens had their backup quarterback in there, 114 00:06:17,720 --> 00:06:20,880 Speaker 3: Tyler Huntley, threw for just over one hundred yards. He 115 00:06:20,960 --> 00:06:24,520 Speaker 3: threw for a bucko seven. Yeah, that's it, one o 116 00:06:24,720 --> 00:06:28,880 Speaker 3: seven and uh, you know, the Packers know it's gonna 117 00:06:28,880 --> 00:06:30,360 Speaker 3: be Derrick Henry all night. 118 00:06:30,800 --> 00:06:31,960 Speaker 2: They know he's getting the ball. 119 00:06:32,080 --> 00:06:36,360 Speaker 3: They can't stop him, They can't come close to stopping him. 120 00:06:36,839 --> 00:06:41,119 Speaker 3: So thoroughly impressed with Derrick Henry, but at the same time, 121 00:06:41,720 --> 00:06:46,039 Speaker 3: Packers defense freaking awful. 122 00:06:46,279 --> 00:06:47,520 Speaker 2: Man Like, both. 123 00:06:47,279 --> 00:06:50,200 Speaker 3: Things can be true, and I think that when you 124 00:06:50,279 --> 00:06:53,080 Speaker 3: hear that, let's say you're a Derrick Henry fan or 125 00:06:53,080 --> 00:06:56,880 Speaker 3: you're a Ravens fan, you automatically think someone like me 126 00:06:57,200 --> 00:07:00,480 Speaker 3: is taking credit away from your guy or your team. 127 00:07:00,960 --> 00:07:03,400 Speaker 3: That's not true. I think two things can be true 128 00:07:03,440 --> 00:07:10,000 Speaker 3: at once. Derick Henry sensational performance, Packers brutal performance. 129 00:07:11,120 --> 00:07:13,040 Speaker 2: That's just what it was. And I think the Sunday 130 00:07:13,080 --> 00:07:14,200 Speaker 2: night game was the same thing. 131 00:07:15,280 --> 00:07:21,840 Speaker 3: Rock Purty outstanding performance, five total touchdowns he accounted for. 132 00:07:22,400 --> 00:07:23,720 Speaker 2: He's scrambling around. 133 00:07:24,160 --> 00:07:29,200 Speaker 3: He's throwing darts all night, he's buying time, he's picking 134 00:07:29,280 --> 00:07:32,680 Speaker 3: up some yards with his legs. Scored a touchdown right 135 00:07:32,760 --> 00:07:36,240 Speaker 3: with his legs couple of times. That was a great 136 00:07:36,280 --> 00:07:40,280 Speaker 3: performance by him. But at the same time that bears 137 00:07:40,360 --> 00:07:48,080 Speaker 3: defense freaking brutal. Both defenses awful, just brutal defense. I 138 00:07:48,120 --> 00:07:51,280 Speaker 3: thought Caleb Williams played a great game too. He missed 139 00:07:51,320 --> 00:07:54,400 Speaker 3: a couple of very makeable throws. That's the weird thing 140 00:07:54,440 --> 00:07:57,800 Speaker 3: with Caleb Williams. By the way, Caleb Williams will make 141 00:07:57,880 --> 00:08:03,920 Speaker 3: some insane throw some insane plays where you're like, there 142 00:08:03,920 --> 00:08:07,200 Speaker 3: aren't many people on this planet that could make that 143 00:08:07,320 --> 00:08:10,640 Speaker 3: throw right there. Mahomes maybe could make that play, Josh Allen, 144 00:08:10,680 --> 00:08:14,360 Speaker 3: maybe that's that might be the list, and it's Caleb Williams. 145 00:08:14,440 --> 00:08:18,640 Speaker 3: He'll make some sensational plays and then he'll turn around. 146 00:08:18,720 --> 00:08:21,680 Speaker 3: You're like, the guy was wide open, man, how did 147 00:08:21,680 --> 00:08:26,400 Speaker 3: he miss that throw? Just weird, But overall, Caleb Williams great, 148 00:08:26,480 --> 00:08:29,520 Speaker 3: great performance. At the same time that forty nine ers 149 00:08:29,560 --> 00:08:35,160 Speaker 3: defense with zero pass rush, yikes, man, you look at 150 00:08:35,200 --> 00:08:37,640 Speaker 3: the playoffs, it is just wide open, man, It is 151 00:08:37,720 --> 00:08:41,680 Speaker 3: absolutely wide open. But I love the Week eighteen matchup 152 00:08:42,640 --> 00:08:47,080 Speaker 3: Niners hosting Sam Darnald and the Seahawks. Have we not 153 00:08:47,200 --> 00:08:50,200 Speaker 3: seen this movie before? It was just last year we 154 00:08:50,240 --> 00:08:53,840 Speaker 3: saw Sam Darnald Week eighteen on the road against the Lions. 155 00:08:53,880 --> 00:08:56,880 Speaker 3: All right, let's go one set on the line, and 156 00:08:56,960 --> 00:08:59,719 Speaker 3: Sam Darnold was just like, Damn, I'm just gonna be 157 00:08:59,760 --> 00:09:00,679 Speaker 3: horror tonight. 158 00:09:00,760 --> 00:09:05,600 Speaker 2: Oh he was brutal. Does he exorcize the demons? This season? 159 00:09:06,160 --> 00:09:10,360 Speaker 3: Against the Niners team that is banged up defensively, they 160 00:09:10,360 --> 00:09:14,000 Speaker 3: have the worst pass rush in football. They have the 161 00:09:14,080 --> 00:09:17,480 Speaker 3: least amount of sacks defensively this season, and it's by 162 00:09:17,559 --> 00:09:20,640 Speaker 3: a lot. If you look at the numbers, it's pretty crazy. 163 00:09:21,160 --> 00:09:24,880 Speaker 3: If you look at coops Broncos, my gosh, Justin Cooper's 164 00:09:24,880 --> 00:09:28,480 Speaker 3: Broncos are it's like just lapping the forty nine ers 165 00:09:28,480 --> 00:09:31,600 Speaker 3: in terms of sacks defensively. If you just look at 166 00:09:31,600 --> 00:09:36,840 Speaker 3: that one category, the Broncos sixty three sacks heading into 167 00:09:36,840 --> 00:09:40,840 Speaker 3: Week seventeen. This is heading into Week seventeen, sixty three 168 00:09:40,880 --> 00:09:44,360 Speaker 3: sacks for the Broncos, leading the league. The Niners have 169 00:09:44,600 --> 00:09:48,480 Speaker 3: eighteen sacks on the season heading into Week seventeen. Right, 170 00:09:48,679 --> 00:09:52,080 Speaker 3: I don't know what the numbers are, right now, that's 171 00:09:52,760 --> 00:09:55,240 Speaker 3: an obnoxious amount of homework. Melon Militia, Key can only 172 00:09:55,240 --> 00:09:57,640 Speaker 3: expect me to do so much over here, right, think 173 00:09:57,640 --> 00:10:00,600 Speaker 3: about that eighteen? Okay, on the fly, it's at thirty 174 00:10:00,640 --> 00:10:05,079 Speaker 3: six fifty four, Like we're in the neighborhood of three 175 00:10:05,120 --> 00:10:08,760 Speaker 3: and a half times the amount of sacks for the 176 00:10:08,800 --> 00:10:12,400 Speaker 3: Broncos compared to the Niners. By the way, look at this, 177 00:10:13,440 --> 00:10:16,200 Speaker 3: so the Niners dead last in the league in sacks. 178 00:10:16,640 --> 00:10:19,440 Speaker 3: If you look at the teams that are tied for 179 00:10:19,559 --> 00:10:23,400 Speaker 3: twenty ninth, these three teams are tied, so they're basically 180 00:10:23,960 --> 00:10:25,199 Speaker 3: second to last. 181 00:10:25,160 --> 00:10:25,720 Speaker 2: If you will. 182 00:10:26,080 --> 00:10:30,840 Speaker 3: That's the Carolina Panthers, the Bengals, and the Jets. What 183 00:10:30,840 --> 00:10:32,959 Speaker 3: do you think of that Jets pass rush? 184 00:10:33,040 --> 00:10:35,520 Speaker 2: Right now? What do you think about that Bengals pass rush? 185 00:10:35,559 --> 00:10:38,240 Speaker 3: They could really put heat on the opposing passer, right, No, 186 00:10:38,679 --> 00:10:42,560 Speaker 3: they can't generate a pass rush, Matt. They heading into 187 00:10:42,559 --> 00:10:48,040 Speaker 3: Week seventeen, Bengals, Panthers, Jets, all those teams had seven 188 00:10:48,320 --> 00:10:52,240 Speaker 3: more sacks than the Niners on the season. That's how 189 00:10:52,360 --> 00:10:54,640 Speaker 3: bad the forty nine ers pass rush is. They can't 190 00:10:54,679 --> 00:10:59,720 Speaker 3: get heat on the opposing quarterback. So when Week eighteen 191 00:10:59,800 --> 00:11:04,400 Speaker 3: rule around and Sam Donald heads into Levi Stadium, and 192 00:11:04,480 --> 00:11:07,520 Speaker 3: that Niners pass rush is probably not getting a whole 193 00:11:07,520 --> 00:11:11,400 Speaker 3: lot of pressure on him. The Sam Donald actually look 194 00:11:11,520 --> 00:11:14,240 Speaker 3: like a competent quarterback with all the chips in the 195 00:11:14,280 --> 00:11:16,840 Speaker 3: middle of the table. He might don't be shocked if 196 00:11:16,840 --> 00:11:19,480 Speaker 3: he does. I can't wait for that game. That's gonna 197 00:11:19,480 --> 00:11:22,199 Speaker 3: be a sensational game. By the way, that is your 198 00:11:22,320 --> 00:11:28,240 Speaker 3: nightcap on Saturday. I find this interesting. So the way 199 00:11:28,240 --> 00:11:32,720 Speaker 3: it works, they have two Saturday games next week, and 200 00:11:32,760 --> 00:11:36,120 Speaker 3: they have all the rest of the games on Sunday 201 00:11:36,200 --> 00:11:39,280 Speaker 3: with the Sunday Night Football game. So you have these 202 00:11:39,520 --> 00:11:43,760 Speaker 3: three windows for these marquee games. Okay, so in the 203 00:11:43,920 --> 00:11:50,120 Speaker 3: very first window on Saturday, they put the the NFC 204 00:11:50,200 --> 00:11:54,560 Speaker 3: South matchup. That's the Panthers at Tampa Bay. We will 205 00:11:54,559 --> 00:11:58,560 Speaker 3: get to the dead inside Tampa Bay Buccaneers a little 206 00:11:58,559 --> 00:12:02,000 Speaker 3: bit later this hour, but they've got Carolina Tampa Bay 207 00:12:02,200 --> 00:12:06,319 Speaker 3: for the NFC South. That's the early game on Saturday. 208 00:12:06,400 --> 00:12:11,560 Speaker 3: That's your four thirty pm Eastern time kick, right. And 209 00:12:11,600 --> 00:12:16,079 Speaker 3: then the night cap on Saturday night is the Seattle 210 00:12:16,400 --> 00:12:20,160 Speaker 3: San Francisco game. That's eight pm Eastern time. That's for 211 00:12:20,240 --> 00:12:23,280 Speaker 3: the NFC West that's for the one seed in the 212 00:12:23,400 --> 00:12:28,200 Speaker 3: NFC playoffs. That is a monstrous game. And then on 213 00:12:28,400 --> 00:12:32,360 Speaker 3: Sunday night, Like Sunday Night is the headlining act. Think 214 00:12:32,400 --> 00:12:36,000 Speaker 3: of a concert like the Carolina Tampa game. That's the 215 00:12:36,040 --> 00:12:40,400 Speaker 3: first warm up band, right and then Seattle San Francisco, 216 00:12:41,320 --> 00:12:45,240 Speaker 3: as the TV execs see it, that's the next warm 217 00:12:45,280 --> 00:12:49,440 Speaker 3: up band. And then Sunday night football rolls around. This 218 00:12:49,520 --> 00:12:51,960 Speaker 3: is the headlining act. This is who we came out 219 00:12:52,000 --> 00:12:57,439 Speaker 3: to see, and it's the AFC North Showdown. It's Baltimore 220 00:12:57,440 --> 00:13:02,960 Speaker 3: at Pittsburgh. I know it for a divisional crown, but man, 221 00:13:03,080 --> 00:13:07,760 Speaker 3: do are you more excited to see Baltimore Pittsburgh. We 222 00:13:07,800 --> 00:13:10,040 Speaker 3: don't even know if Lamar is gonna play. We don't 223 00:13:10,080 --> 00:13:12,000 Speaker 3: know if this bruise is gonna keep him out until 224 00:13:12,040 --> 00:13:14,600 Speaker 3: like mid May. My gosh, the guy has a bruise, 225 00:13:14,840 --> 00:13:17,840 Speaker 3: a bruise, he's got a contusion. And he not only 226 00:13:17,840 --> 00:13:20,240 Speaker 3: missed the second half of last week against the Patriots, 227 00:13:20,440 --> 00:13:22,640 Speaker 3: he missed the entire game against the Packers. 228 00:13:22,800 --> 00:13:24,400 Speaker 2: He's on the sideline standing up. 229 00:13:24,440 --> 00:13:27,040 Speaker 3: If this is like a debilitating injury, why is he 230 00:13:27,160 --> 00:13:30,040 Speaker 3: just standing on the sideline? Why why is he not 231 00:13:30,080 --> 00:13:32,559 Speaker 3: in uniform out there. I don't know if Lamar is 232 00:13:32,600 --> 00:13:35,080 Speaker 3: even gonna suit up and play, And this is the 233 00:13:35,120 --> 00:13:39,320 Speaker 3: headlining game. I would much rather see the Seattle San 234 00:13:39,360 --> 00:13:42,240 Speaker 3: Francisco game on Sunday night football. Now, it's not a 235 00:13:42,240 --> 00:13:44,800 Speaker 3: big deal. It's gonna be on Saturday night. It's fine, 236 00:13:45,440 --> 00:13:47,000 Speaker 3: but I think it would make more sense. 237 00:13:47,040 --> 00:13:47,680 Speaker 2: But it's just me. 238 00:13:48,400 --> 00:13:51,360 Speaker 3: I think it would make more sense to make Saturday 239 00:13:51,480 --> 00:13:55,959 Speaker 3: this is win and in day. This is for divisions 240 00:13:56,000 --> 00:14:00,600 Speaker 3: are on the line. You know, it's a doubleheader on ABC, Slash, ESPN. 241 00:14:00,679 --> 00:14:01,680 Speaker 2: You market it like that. 242 00:14:03,160 --> 00:14:07,840 Speaker 3: Okay, we got NFC South Carolina Tampa winning in followed 243 00:14:07,880 --> 00:14:13,000 Speaker 3: by Baltimore at Pittsburgh winning in the loser. Say you 244 00:14:13,480 --> 00:14:16,000 Speaker 3: better luck next year, suckers, Right, I'd rather have a 245 00:14:16,080 --> 00:14:18,880 Speaker 3: day like that. That's Saturday, it's the winning in day, 246 00:14:19,440 --> 00:14:21,400 Speaker 3: and then Sunday this is just for the big boys, 247 00:14:21,760 --> 00:14:24,240 Speaker 3: all right, big dogs in the house. Here we're talking 248 00:14:24,280 --> 00:14:27,440 Speaker 3: about not only winning the division. We're talking about a 249 00:14:27,600 --> 00:14:31,760 Speaker 3: one seed on the line that has much higher stakes. 250 00:14:32,200 --> 00:14:35,840 Speaker 3: To me, I'd rather see that on Sunday night. That's 251 00:14:35,880 --> 00:14:38,800 Speaker 3: your headlining act right there. In my mind, it's Seattle 252 00:14:38,920 --> 00:14:44,760 Speaker 3: San Francisco. It is not Baltimore, Pittsburgh. Pittsburgh who scored 253 00:14:45,000 --> 00:14:50,680 Speaker 3: six points against the Browns. That's that's the headlining act. No, 254 00:14:50,840 --> 00:14:54,160 Speaker 3: thank you, No, I'd rather see that on Saturday. Give 255 00:14:54,200 --> 00:14:56,080 Speaker 3: me the battle for the one seed on Sunday. 256 00:14:56,200 --> 00:14:59,440 Speaker 2: But that's just me. Your thoughts feel free to check in. 257 00:15:00,120 --> 00:15:04,680 Speaker 2: Have I counted? It's just just under a million. 258 00:15:04,360 --> 00:15:06,720 Speaker 3: Things to talk about tonight. My gosh, there are so 259 00:15:06,880 --> 00:15:10,440 Speaker 3: many things that happen in Week seventeen of the NFL 260 00:15:10,800 --> 00:15:13,160 Speaker 3: playoff implications left and right. 261 00:15:13,520 --> 00:15:15,000 Speaker 2: We got to get to Josh Allen. 262 00:15:15,400 --> 00:15:18,160 Speaker 3: Josh Allen had an out of body experience at the 263 00:15:18,280 --> 00:15:19,720 Speaker 3: end of the game against the Eagles. 264 00:15:20,600 --> 00:15:23,080 Speaker 2: He had a wide open receiver. 265 00:15:23,600 --> 00:15:26,200 Speaker 3: Josh Allen has turned into one of the more accurate 266 00:15:26,280 --> 00:15:31,320 Speaker 3: quarterbacks in the NFL, and he absolutely blew it. There 267 00:15:31,400 --> 00:15:37,800 Speaker 3: is one key takeaway from this game from that throw, 268 00:15:38,440 --> 00:15:41,920 Speaker 3: and it absolutely applies not only to the Bills, but 269 00:15:42,040 --> 00:15:46,200 Speaker 3: the entire NFL playoffs. We also have a team I 270 00:15:46,280 --> 00:15:47,800 Speaker 3: will be happy. 271 00:15:48,240 --> 00:15:49,280 Speaker 2: I've already bet it. 272 00:15:49,520 --> 00:15:54,520 Speaker 3: I am so happy to bet against one particular team 273 00:15:54,880 --> 00:15:59,200 Speaker 3: that they might make it into the playoffs. They might not, 274 00:15:59,520 --> 00:16:02,520 Speaker 3: I'm bet, but we will get to that right around 275 00:16:02,560 --> 00:16:02,840 Speaker 3: the corner. 276 00:16:02,920 --> 00:16:03,280 Speaker 2: As well. 277 00:16:03,520 --> 00:16:06,840 Speaker 3: Eight seven, seven ninety nine on Fox is your phone number, 278 00:16:07,120 --> 00:16:10,400 Speaker 3: Feel free to check in.

Oh, the major takeaway from 287 00:16:31,320 --> 00:16:35,360 Speaker 3: Josh Allen screwing up and not hitting a wide open 288 00:16:35,400 --> 00:16:38,160 Speaker 3: receiver that would have beaten the Eagles. What does it 289 00:16:38,280 --> 00:16:41,760 Speaker 3: mean for the Bills for the NFL playoffs as a whole. 290 00:16:41,800 --> 00:16:44,200 Speaker 3: I'll tell you next.

How we'll let the 312 00:17:51,400 --> 00:17:54,320 Speaker 3: moon hours right. That's how we're getting down here on 313 00:17:54,400 --> 00:17:59,760 Speaker 3: Fox Sports Radio. So yeah, Josh Allen hoof, let me 314 00:17:59,800 --> 00:18:02,840 Speaker 3: thy say one thing first, before you know, I start 315 00:18:02,880 --> 00:18:04,919 Speaker 3: trashing the guy for a pathetic throw at the end 316 00:18:04,960 --> 00:18:07,359 Speaker 3: of the game that lost it for the Bills and 317 00:18:07,400 --> 00:18:13,040 Speaker 3: the bigger picture, Josh Allen is an outstanding quarterback. Josh 318 00:18:13,040 --> 00:18:18,040 Speaker 3: Allen is the reigning MVP on the short list. This year, 319 00:18:18,040 --> 00:18:20,359 Speaker 3: I think it's a Stafford year. I think it's Stafford's 320 00:18:20,400 --> 00:18:23,679 Speaker 3: year to win his first MVP. I don't think Stafford's 321 00:18:23,720 --> 00:18:26,240 Speaker 3: even been I don't think Stafford's ever gotten a top 322 00:18:26,280 --> 00:18:28,960 Speaker 3: ten vote. Don't quote me on that. But there's some 323 00:18:29,080 --> 00:18:32,320 Speaker 3: insane stat about Matthew Stafford where it's like he has 324 00:18:32,840 --> 00:18:36,919 Speaker 3: he hasn't even gotten a vote something crazy like that, 325 00:18:37,040 --> 00:18:40,119 Speaker 3: where not only is he probably in line to win it, 326 00:18:40,119 --> 00:18:43,679 Speaker 3: it's like he might finally get voted on for MVP. 327 00:18:43,800 --> 00:18:44,359 Speaker 2: It's crazy. 328 00:18:44,359 --> 00:18:50,280 Speaker 3: But Josh Allen is he's an outstanding quarterback and I 329 00:18:50,359 --> 00:18:53,480 Speaker 3: know he's come up short in the playoffs. That's routinely 330 00:18:53,520 --> 00:18:57,680 Speaker 3: against Mahomes and the Chiefs, which over the years has been. 331 00:18:57,680 --> 00:18:59,639 Speaker 2: An incredibly high hurdle. 332 00:19:00,200 --> 00:19:03,840 Speaker 3: Clear, it's not like he's wetting his leg against I 333 00:19:03,880 --> 00:19:10,360 Speaker 3: don't know, inferior competition when you're running into this roadblock 334 00:19:10,440 --> 00:19:13,440 Speaker 3: time and time of game named Mahomes and the Chiefs. 335 00:19:14,000 --> 00:19:16,360 Speaker 2: Okay, I mean you gotta say it's. 336 00:19:16,400 --> 00:19:22,760 Speaker 3: Somewhat understandable, somewhat, but Josh Allen, he is so much 337 00:19:22,800 --> 00:19:24,280 Speaker 3: better than what you saw at the end of that 338 00:19:24,320 --> 00:19:27,800 Speaker 3: game against the Eagles. So if you missed it, if 339 00:19:28,320 --> 00:19:31,520 Speaker 3: you know you didn't watch Wall the wall ball today, 340 00:19:31,520 --> 00:19:35,560 Speaker 3: it's fine, we got you here. So the Bills, they 341 00:19:35,600 --> 00:19:40,200 Speaker 3: couldn't do anything against Philly. They are scoreless with under 342 00:19:40,240 --> 00:19:42,080 Speaker 3: five and a half minutes to play in the game. 343 00:19:42,560 --> 00:19:44,960 Speaker 3: They haven't scored a point. They're losing thirteen to nothing. 344 00:19:45,400 --> 00:19:48,280 Speaker 3: They score a touchdown, they get a stop, they get 345 00:19:48,280 --> 00:19:52,080 Speaker 3: the ball back, they score another touchdown. Now, the funny 346 00:19:52,119 --> 00:19:56,200 Speaker 3: thing was they were losing thirteen nothing when they scored 347 00:19:56,240 --> 00:20:00,960 Speaker 3: their first touchdown. The Bills had their extra point blocked. 348 00:20:01,440 --> 00:20:04,479 Speaker 3: Jalen Carter blocked the extra point, so instead of it 349 00:20:04,520 --> 00:20:09,359 Speaker 3: being thirteen to seven Philly, it's thirteen to six Philly 350 00:20:09,480 --> 00:20:12,720 Speaker 3: with the lead at that point. So we fast forward 351 00:20:12,760 --> 00:20:15,960 Speaker 3: to the end of the game. Josh Allen scores a touchdown. 352 00:20:16,680 --> 00:20:22,280 Speaker 3: It's thirteen to twelve Philly. So you look at the sideline, 353 00:20:22,320 --> 00:20:26,280 Speaker 3: Sean McDermott stoic. He's like, let's go for two. Let's 354 00:20:26,320 --> 00:20:28,840 Speaker 3: freaking go for two. Freaking in this guy, I'm pretty 355 00:20:28,840 --> 00:20:31,720 Speaker 3: sure he's throwing freakings around out there, and so they 356 00:20:31,760 --> 00:20:32,280 Speaker 3: line up. 357 00:20:32,520 --> 00:20:33,359 Speaker 2: They're going for two. 358 00:20:33,960 --> 00:20:38,680 Speaker 3: Josh Allen has a wide open, wide open Khalil Shakir 359 00:20:38,960 --> 00:20:42,440 Speaker 3: in the back of the end zone. Pass isn't even 360 00:20:42,480 --> 00:20:45,240 Speaker 3: close to the guy not even close. 361 00:20:45,840 --> 00:20:46,560 Speaker 2: I don't know what happened. 362 00:20:46,600 --> 00:20:49,359 Speaker 3: He just short armed it. It's one of those deals 363 00:20:49,400 --> 00:20:52,800 Speaker 3: where I don't know, your guy is just wide open 364 00:20:53,480 --> 00:20:55,320 Speaker 3: and you want to run over there and just hand 365 00:20:55,359 --> 00:20:57,760 Speaker 3: it to him, and I don't know, you just short 366 00:20:57,840 --> 00:21:00,840 Speaker 3: arm it. You just sort of panic and he just 367 00:21:00,880 --> 00:21:04,919 Speaker 3: missed a wide open throw. Now here's the thing. You 368 00:21:04,960 --> 00:21:09,400 Speaker 3: could look at this and say, yeah, you know, it happens. 369 00:21:09,760 --> 00:21:13,960 Speaker 3: It's just one throw. This doesn't mean that dot dot 370 00:21:14,000 --> 00:21:15,439 Speaker 3: dot fill in the blank, you know. 371 00:21:15,520 --> 00:21:17,920 Speaker 2: It doesn't mean that they can't win it all. This 372 00:21:18,080 --> 00:21:19,040 Speaker 2: doesn't mean they're. 373 00:21:18,880 --> 00:21:21,960 Speaker 3: Not gonna readbount ya da baby Babby. You could fill 374 00:21:22,000 --> 00:21:23,840 Speaker 3: it in with a bunch of stuff. You know what 375 00:21:23,880 --> 00:21:28,080 Speaker 3: this really means when you cut to the chase and 376 00:21:28,119 --> 00:21:31,560 Speaker 3: you get to the heart of the matter. The Bills 377 00:21:32,800 --> 00:21:35,520 Speaker 3: don't have the clutch gene. 378 00:21:36,040 --> 00:21:40,840 Speaker 2: They don't have it. They lack it, and it shows 379 00:21:40,920 --> 00:21:42,159 Speaker 2: up time and time again. 380 00:21:42,920 --> 00:21:47,280 Speaker 3: It just does like you can't explain it any other way. 381 00:21:47,920 --> 00:21:48,120 Speaker 2: Now. 382 00:21:48,160 --> 00:21:51,360 Speaker 3: I don't want to say that the Bills are incapable. 383 00:21:51,440 --> 00:21:54,280 Speaker 3: That that would be that'd be reckless, that'd be a 384 00:21:54,320 --> 00:21:57,480 Speaker 3: little silly. I mean, you look at the AFC playoffs, 385 00:21:57,640 --> 00:22:00,159 Speaker 3: what team do you love? Who's the team that you love? 386 00:22:00,200 --> 00:22:04,040 Speaker 3: There's not one. There's not one team I even like like. 387 00:22:04,400 --> 00:22:06,679 Speaker 3: I actually do like the Patriots quite a bit, but 388 00:22:06,760 --> 00:22:10,000 Speaker 3: I don't love them. They have their shortcomings, they have 389 00:22:10,119 --> 00:22:14,320 Speaker 3: their question marks. They don't have a ton of postseason experience. Right, 390 00:22:14,359 --> 00:22:16,920 Speaker 3: there are a lot of reasons to doubt the Patriots. 391 00:22:17,200 --> 00:22:20,679 Speaker 3: They've had an incredibly soft schedule, on and on and on. 392 00:22:21,160 --> 00:22:24,000 Speaker 3: But I look at their strengths a lot more often 393 00:22:24,080 --> 00:22:27,680 Speaker 3: than I hear most people saying, right, Like, a lot 394 00:22:27,680 --> 00:22:30,000 Speaker 3: of people look at the schedule. It doesn't just begin 395 00:22:30,200 --> 00:22:33,720 Speaker 3: and end there. But that's just me. I like the 396 00:22:33,720 --> 00:22:37,399 Speaker 3: Patriots quite a bit. But the point is, there isn't 397 00:22:37,440 --> 00:22:41,359 Speaker 3: one team in the entire NFL playoffs that I just love. 398 00:22:41,560 --> 00:22:45,280 Speaker 3: I really really like the Rams as well. Don't love them. 399 00:22:45,320 --> 00:22:48,280 Speaker 3: Don't love their second theory, hate their path now that 400 00:22:48,320 --> 00:22:51,040 Speaker 3: they're probably gonna be on the road for three straight games. 401 00:22:51,600 --> 00:22:55,280 Speaker 3: But the deal with the Bills, you can't say no chance, 402 00:22:55,400 --> 00:22:58,199 Speaker 3: know how, even though they lack the clutch gene because 403 00:22:58,800 --> 00:23:02,200 Speaker 3: of the lack of great teams around them. I hate 404 00:23:02,240 --> 00:23:06,040 Speaker 3: their rush defense. It's terrible. It was thirtieth in the 405 00:23:06,160 --> 00:23:09,919 Speaker 3: NFL heading into Week seventeen. They did a pretty decent 406 00:23:10,040 --> 00:23:15,119 Speaker 3: job on Saquon Barkley on Sunday. But I don't trust 407 00:23:15,160 --> 00:23:18,359 Speaker 3: the Bills rush defense at all. And I don't like 408 00:23:18,400 --> 00:23:20,640 Speaker 3: their wide receivers. They got a bunch of number two, 409 00:23:20,800 --> 00:23:24,440 Speaker 3: number three wide receivers running around out there. It's when 410 00:23:24,560 --> 00:23:28,120 Speaker 3: James cook is held in check and it's all right, 411 00:23:28,240 --> 00:23:31,120 Speaker 3: Josh Allen, do your thing. I mean, I like their 412 00:23:31,119 --> 00:23:33,480 Speaker 3: tight ends. I like Dalton Kinkaid quite a bit. Thasston 413 00:23:33,560 --> 00:23:36,400 Speaker 3: Knox's okay, you know, he's fine as a backup tight end. 414 00:23:37,119 --> 00:23:39,119 Speaker 3: But they're wide receivers, dude. 415 00:23:39,119 --> 00:23:39,880 Speaker 2: It's just like. 416 00:23:39,960 --> 00:23:43,040 Speaker 3: Who they just picked up, Brandon Cooks. Brandon Cooks was 417 00:23:43,040 --> 00:23:45,960 Speaker 3: like their main guy on Sunday against the Eagles. That's 418 00:23:45,960 --> 00:23:51,720 Speaker 3: how limited their wide receiver room is. So it might 419 00:23:51,760 --> 00:23:54,119 Speaker 3: not come down to a clutch situation. 420 00:23:54,520 --> 00:23:57,560 Speaker 2: It might not. It might not be all right. 421 00:23:57,400 --> 00:24:00,040 Speaker 3: There are five seconds left, we're going for two to 422 00:24:00,080 --> 00:24:03,240 Speaker 3: win this game, and he's got a wide open receiver 423 00:24:03,320 --> 00:24:04,480 Speaker 3: and he's got to make this throw. 424 00:24:04,800 --> 00:24:06,040 Speaker 2: It might not come down to that. 425 00:24:07,000 --> 00:24:10,520 Speaker 3: Like the Bills, they're good enough where it might not 426 00:24:10,680 --> 00:24:14,439 Speaker 3: be this you know, tight sphincter moment right. 427 00:24:14,359 --> 00:24:18,080 Speaker 2: Like we're clutch. This is a big, huge moment. 428 00:24:18,200 --> 00:24:20,760 Speaker 3: You know, high leverage might not come down to that. 429 00:24:20,800 --> 00:24:23,360 Speaker 3: So I'm not gonna count them out. Make no mistake, 430 00:24:23,400 --> 00:24:26,000 Speaker 3: I'm not counting them out completely. 431 00:24:26,720 --> 00:24:28,000 Speaker 2: But the main. 432 00:24:28,040 --> 00:24:32,240 Speaker 3: Reason I doubt them it's their rush defense sucks. Their 433 00:24:32,280 --> 00:24:37,399 Speaker 3: wide receivers are average at best, and they do not 434 00:24:38,280 --> 00:24:42,600 Speaker 3: have the clutch gene. They as much as highly as 435 00:24:42,640 --> 00:24:46,320 Speaker 3: I think of Josh Allen, he doesn't have the clutch gene. 436 00:24:46,600 --> 00:24:48,800 Speaker 3: That team does not have the clutch gen. I don't 437 00:24:48,800 --> 00:24:52,359 Speaker 3: know what it is about Buffalo. Think about like some 438 00:24:52,480 --> 00:24:55,359 Speaker 3: of these games that they've lost. I know it's Mahomes, 439 00:24:55,400 --> 00:24:59,520 Speaker 3: I know it's the Chiefs. They had a lead at 440 00:24:59,640 --> 00:25:03,720 Speaker 3: arrow Head with thirteen seconds to play. 441 00:25:04,920 --> 00:25:05,560 Speaker 2: They lost. 442 00:25:06,359 --> 00:25:11,520 Speaker 3: I still can't believe that one. There were thirteen seconds left, 443 00:25:11,560 --> 00:25:15,400 Speaker 3: just squib kick that thing like run some time off 444 00:25:15,440 --> 00:25:20,120 Speaker 3: the clock, you defend one pass and you win. 445 00:25:21,160 --> 00:25:23,520 Speaker 2: I still can't believe they lost that game. 446 00:25:23,560 --> 00:25:25,240 Speaker 6: You don't think Sean McDermott's the problem. 447 00:25:26,440 --> 00:25:27,879 Speaker 2: I think he's part of the problem. 448 00:25:28,320 --> 00:25:32,639 Speaker 3: But Sean McDermott wasn't the reason that you know, like 449 00:25:32,760 --> 00:25:35,760 Speaker 3: Khalil Shakir didn't get the ball in the back of 450 00:25:35,800 --> 00:25:38,919 Speaker 3: the end zone, Josh Allen was the reason and. 451 00:25:38,920 --> 00:25:41,879 Speaker 2: Well points overtime. 452 00:25:42,800 --> 00:25:45,640 Speaker 3: Well, I mean you could second guess that, but if 453 00:25:45,680 --> 00:25:49,159 Speaker 3: you're watching that play, and first off, I think you 454 00:25:49,240 --> 00:25:51,920 Speaker 3: gotta be first guessing in order to be second guessing. 455 00:25:52,240 --> 00:25:54,720 Speaker 3: I have a problem at all with them going for two. 456 00:25:55,080 --> 00:25:58,760 Speaker 3: I'm like, all right, you're being aggressive, that's fine. And 457 00:25:58,840 --> 00:26:02,840 Speaker 3: the way the play unfolds, the Bill's got exactly what 458 00:26:02,880 --> 00:26:03,520 Speaker 3: they wanted. 459 00:26:04,119 --> 00:26:06,119 Speaker 2: Like, yeah, it was a terrible pass. It was a 460 00:26:06,200 --> 00:26:07,000 Speaker 2: horrible pass. 461 00:26:07,280 --> 00:26:09,760 Speaker 6: And you know, Josh Allen knows that obviously. The shots 462 00:26:09,800 --> 00:26:11,520 Speaker 6: on the sideline. 463 00:26:11,400 --> 00:26:14,920 Speaker 2: Shoh yeah, yeah, yeah, sure. But I mean, and. 464 00:26:14,800 --> 00:26:18,160 Speaker 6: I'm not talking about just this game, but my best 465 00:26:18,160 --> 00:26:21,280 Speaker 6: friend is a Bill's fan, has has been since since 466 00:26:21,320 --> 00:26:24,440 Speaker 6: he was a child, uh huh, and he has been 467 00:26:24,560 --> 00:26:27,879 Speaker 6: calling for Sean mcdermot's firing for like a couple of 468 00:26:27,960 --> 00:26:30,920 Speaker 6: years and a few years now, right, he's just he's 469 00:26:30,960 --> 00:26:33,960 Speaker 6: just had it with him. And I mean, I can't 470 00:26:34,200 --> 00:26:37,640 Speaker 6: you know, you can say, yeah, the going for Tudo 471 00:26:37,680 --> 00:26:40,760 Speaker 6: to win is fine. Uh, you know, I do think 472 00:26:40,760 --> 00:26:45,359 Speaker 6: that and Ben would hate this, oh oh, but I 473 00:26:45,440 --> 00:26:48,359 Speaker 6: do think that the Bills had a bit of momentum. 474 00:26:48,680 --> 00:26:49,919 Speaker 2: Oh oh dude. 475 00:26:50,359 --> 00:26:53,760 Speaker 3: You by the way, I want to sidetrack your your 476 00:26:53,800 --> 00:26:58,040 Speaker 3: thought here, I'll circle back to it because a big 477 00:26:58,080 --> 00:27:02,760 Speaker 3: ben you know, co host slash, you know, a compadre 478 00:27:02,960 --> 00:27:06,840 Speaker 3: if you will over the years, don't let me sidetrack. 479 00:27:06,880 --> 00:27:08,640 Speaker 3: I'll circle back to it. Go ahead, finish your thought 480 00:27:08,640 --> 00:27:11,199 Speaker 3: about momentum and the bill. They had momentum, that's right, 481 00:27:11,240 --> 00:27:12,280 Speaker 3: they did, absolutely. 482 00:27:12,800 --> 00:27:16,879 Speaker 6: I just I think that I would have liked their 483 00:27:16,960 --> 00:27:19,840 Speaker 6: chances in overtime too. But like you said, you know, 484 00:27:19,880 --> 00:27:22,159 Speaker 6: the play worked out exactly how it was supposed to. 485 00:27:22,200 --> 00:27:22,919 Speaker 2: They just missed it. 486 00:27:23,359 --> 00:27:26,920 Speaker 3: They just they missed a layup. Man, there's no way 487 00:27:26,960 --> 00:27:30,000 Speaker 3: if they're going for two, they're being aggressive. If they 488 00:27:30,320 --> 00:27:33,840 Speaker 3: could see that play open up the way it did, 489 00:27:34,440 --> 00:27:36,960 Speaker 3: and then they could be asked like, okay, you still 490 00:27:37,000 --> 00:27:39,080 Speaker 3: want to go for two? Are you banking on Josh 491 00:27:39,080 --> 00:27:42,120 Speaker 3: Allen making this throw? Or hey, mulligan time you could 492 00:27:42,160 --> 00:27:45,439 Speaker 3: just undo it and magically, through the powers of the 493 00:27:45,480 --> 00:27:47,919 Speaker 3: football gods, you could just kick the extra point go 494 00:27:47,960 --> 00:27:50,720 Speaker 3: to overtime. Which would you rather do? All day long, 495 00:27:50,760 --> 00:27:52,840 Speaker 3: they'd be like, oh, our money's on Josh Allen. 496 00:27:52,920 --> 00:27:54,000 Speaker 2: You kidding me right now? 497 00:27:54,119 --> 00:27:58,240 Speaker 6: So as a as a fan, I hate like decisions 498 00:27:58,280 --> 00:28:01,200 Speaker 6: like that. Obviously, when it were you're like, oh, great, 499 00:28:01,240 --> 00:28:04,280 Speaker 6: that was awesome. But when I'm when I'm watching my 500 00:28:04,400 --> 00:28:07,560 Speaker 6: team and they, you know, come back from behind and 501 00:28:07,600 --> 00:28:11,280 Speaker 6: they score touchdown to potentially tie the game, and they 502 00:28:11,280 --> 00:28:15,160 Speaker 6: decided to go for two, I'm just like a nervous wreck. 503 00:28:15,320 --> 00:28:19,400 Speaker 6: I would way rather just breathe and watch some more football. 504 00:28:19,800 --> 00:28:20,159 Speaker 2: I don't know. 505 00:28:20,200 --> 00:28:23,639 Speaker 3: Hey man, hey listen. You can second guess this stuff 506 00:28:23,680 --> 00:28:25,960 Speaker 3: all day. You could sit here and be like, look, 507 00:28:25,960 --> 00:28:31,119 Speaker 3: they're legitimate arguments. It's Philly didn't complete one pass in 508 00:28:31,200 --> 00:28:35,159 Speaker 3: the second half, right right. Jalen Hurts was oh for seven, 509 00:28:35,240 --> 00:28:38,480 Speaker 3: He was oh for the second half. But I have 510 00:28:38,560 --> 00:28:40,920 Speaker 3: no problem with him going for two and it was 511 00:28:41,640 --> 00:28:46,720 Speaker 3: wide open. That is strictly a Josh Allen bricked layup 512 00:28:47,040 --> 00:28:49,600 Speaker 3: like he didn't even draw iron. He's going in for 513 00:28:49,640 --> 00:28:52,440 Speaker 3: a finger roll and somehow he bricked it off the 514 00:28:52,480 --> 00:28:55,400 Speaker 3: backboard and it didn't touch net, it didn't touch. 515 00:28:55,280 --> 00:28:57,520 Speaker 2: Rim, it didn't touch anything. He just bricked. 516 00:28:58,160 --> 00:29:02,160 Speaker 3: That's how bad it was. Josh Allen miss and listen, 517 00:29:02,200 --> 00:29:04,760 Speaker 3: I get it. And Coop going back to your diehard, 518 00:29:04,920 --> 00:29:08,000 Speaker 3: you know your friend who's a diehard Bills fan. I 519 00:29:08,080 --> 00:29:10,760 Speaker 3: get how you're not in love with Sean McDermott, but 520 00:29:11,000 --> 00:29:15,400 Speaker 3: the truth is, he's the easy fall guy. He really like. 521 00:29:15,680 --> 00:29:19,560 Speaker 3: Sean McDermott is not the reason that the rush defense sucks. 522 00:29:19,960 --> 00:29:24,080 Speaker 3: Sean McDermott is not the reason that their wide receivers 523 00:29:24,120 --> 00:29:27,640 Speaker 3: are just a bunch of guys. That's a Brandon Bean issue. 524 00:29:27,880 --> 00:29:30,880 Speaker 3: That's the GM. He's the guy responsible for the roster. 525 00:29:31,360 --> 00:29:34,880 Speaker 3: It's not a Sean McDermott issue. That Josh Allen, the 526 00:29:34,920 --> 00:29:40,480 Speaker 3: reigning MVP, missed an absolute layup, wide open receiver. The 527 00:29:40,520 --> 00:29:43,600 Speaker 3: ball's not even close to him. None of those things 528 00:29:44,040 --> 00:29:47,160 Speaker 3: are Sean McDermott's fault. Yet there are a lot of 529 00:29:47,200 --> 00:29:50,200 Speaker 3: fans that want to act like it is and listen. 530 00:29:50,240 --> 00:29:52,480 Speaker 3: I get if you want to sit here and say, hey, 531 00:29:52,520 --> 00:29:55,800 Speaker 3: look man, we've tried it for a number of years, 532 00:29:55,880 --> 00:29:59,600 Speaker 3: just hasn't worked. It's time to try something new. That's fine, 533 00:30:00,080 --> 00:30:03,880 Speaker 3: that's fine, But to blame Sean McDermott for that loss, 534 00:30:04,080 --> 00:30:07,040 Speaker 3: that's that's ridiculous. If anybody's doing that, it's just silly. 535 00:30:07,080 --> 00:30:12,440 Speaker 3: That's Josh Allen just blowing it, and I hey, raining 536 00:30:12,560 --> 00:30:16,160 Speaker 3: MVP to the side. I think it's even worse. Like 537 00:30:16,400 --> 00:30:20,160 Speaker 3: the fan mentality. I know a lot of Bills fans 538 00:30:20,160 --> 00:30:23,080 Speaker 3: will think like this. It's like, well, it's Josh Allen, man, Like, 539 00:30:23,160 --> 00:30:27,320 Speaker 3: we can't really crack on Josh Allen too hard. He's 540 00:30:27,360 --> 00:30:30,240 Speaker 3: the reason why we're good, Like yeah, and he's also 541 00:30:30,280 --> 00:30:33,440 Speaker 3: the reason you lost that game. Okay, that's the reality. 542 00:30:33,560 --> 00:30:35,840 Speaker 3: It's not a Sean McDermott thing. It was a Josh 543 00:30:35,880 --> 00:30:40,720 Speaker 3: Allen thing against the Bills in Week seventeen specifically, that's 544 00:30:40,800 --> 00:30:44,600 Speaker 3: what it is. And it makes it even worse because 545 00:30:44,640 --> 00:30:49,280 Speaker 3: he's so talented, because he's a raigning MVP, because he's 546 00:30:49,400 --> 00:30:53,080 Speaker 3: arguably the best quarterback in the game right now. It 547 00:30:53,160 --> 00:30:55,960 Speaker 3: makes it even worse than he missed a wide open 548 00:30:56,040 --> 00:30:59,920 Speaker 3: layup like that. You should have high standards and high expectations. 549 00:31:00,120 --> 00:31:06,000 Speaker 3: That should be like just that's not anything that's permissible. 550 00:31:06,520 --> 00:31:11,960 Speaker 3: That is an impermissible situation from Josh Allen, impermissible performance 551 00:31:11,960 --> 00:31:16,520 Speaker 3: from him against the Eagles, specially late Listen, Coop, I 552 00:31:16,520 --> 00:31:20,200 Speaker 3: gotta say one thing because my guy Tom Looney, who 553 00:31:20,240 --> 00:31:25,880 Speaker 3: I love like a brother, we have traded multiple texts, 554 00:31:26,240 --> 00:31:27,880 Speaker 3: multiple voice notes. 555 00:31:28,120 --> 00:31:29,560 Speaker 2: He somehow he got on this thing. 556 00:31:29,600 --> 00:31:32,680 Speaker 3: And he's like, he talked about momentum and he was like, yeah, 557 00:31:32,680 --> 00:31:35,400 Speaker 3: this is a big Ben Mallard take, and he's like, 558 00:31:35,440 --> 00:31:37,920 Speaker 3: I actually subscribe to it as well. It's like, momentum 559 00:31:38,000 --> 00:31:40,040 Speaker 3: is not a thing. I'm like, that's the worst take 560 00:31:40,120 --> 00:31:40,760 Speaker 3: of all time? 561 00:31:41,240 --> 00:31:44,760 Speaker 2: Are you kidding me? That's what you think? Listen, man, 562 00:31:45,600 --> 00:31:45,920 Speaker 2: And I. 563 00:31:45,840 --> 00:31:49,400 Speaker 3: Won't bore you with the whole argument, like this is 564 00:31:49,400 --> 00:31:54,000 Speaker 3: what I think about momentum. Just watch the game between 565 00:31:54,040 --> 00:31:58,080 Speaker 3: the Rams and the Seahawks last week and you tell 566 00:31:58,120 --> 00:32:01,480 Speaker 3: me that momentum is not a thing, right, Like, the 567 00:32:01,560 --> 00:32:06,960 Speaker 3: Seahawks are down thirty to fourteen. They're not even sniffing 568 00:32:07,000 --> 00:32:09,720 Speaker 3: the lead, they're not even sniffing a win. 569 00:32:09,800 --> 00:32:10,440 Speaker 2: At the time. 570 00:32:11,280 --> 00:32:16,160 Speaker 3: Sam Darnold has just thrown two hideous interceptions, and what happens. 571 00:32:16,200 --> 00:32:18,000 Speaker 3: They get a punt return for a touchdown, They get 572 00:32:18,000 --> 00:32:21,280 Speaker 3: the two, They get another touchdown, They get a ridiculous 573 00:32:21,280 --> 00:32:25,800 Speaker 3: two point conversion that was a complete you know, just fluke. 574 00:32:26,040 --> 00:32:30,040 Speaker 3: It hits a Rams helmet, bounces into the end zone. 575 00:32:30,040 --> 00:32:32,280 Speaker 3: They pick it up, they get the two point conversion, 576 00:32:32,560 --> 00:32:35,560 Speaker 3: goes to overtime, They give them a touchdown, they score 577 00:32:35,600 --> 00:32:38,480 Speaker 3: a touchdown, They go for two and win it. You 578 00:32:38,520 --> 00:32:41,160 Speaker 3: tell me momentum is not a thing. The way I 579 00:32:41,200 --> 00:32:44,160 Speaker 3: look at momentum is the way I look at a 580 00:32:44,320 --> 00:32:48,400 Speaker 3: run or a lead. Okay, you typically talk about runs 581 00:32:48,600 --> 00:32:51,560 Speaker 3: in basketball. It can still happen in football. You go 582 00:32:51,600 --> 00:32:54,880 Speaker 3: on a you know, a twenty one nothing run. Alabama 583 00:32:55,520 --> 00:32:59,080 Speaker 3: against Oklahoma. They're down seventeen to nothing and whatever the 584 00:32:59,160 --> 00:33:01,800 Speaker 3: run was, went on a twenty four to nothing run 585 00:33:01,920 --> 00:33:05,520 Speaker 3: or something like that. You know in basketball, Oh, they're 586 00:33:05,520 --> 00:33:08,360 Speaker 3: on a seventeen to one run or whatever it happens 587 00:33:08,400 --> 00:33:12,720 Speaker 3: to be. That's what momentum is. But these these jokers 588 00:33:12,800 --> 00:33:15,400 Speaker 3: Looney and Big Ben, who I love, but it's a 589 00:33:15,520 --> 00:33:20,400 Speaker 3: terrible take. They act like, once you lose momentum, it 590 00:33:20,520 --> 00:33:25,320 Speaker 3: means that momentum never existed in the first place. That's crazy. 591 00:33:25,880 --> 00:33:30,120 Speaker 3: That's like saying a run never existed. Because okay, we're 592 00:33:30,120 --> 00:33:33,280 Speaker 3: watching a basketball game. My team goes on a fourteen 593 00:33:33,360 --> 00:33:36,960 Speaker 3: nothing run. Your team goes on a thirteen to one run. 594 00:33:37,400 --> 00:33:40,560 Speaker 3: Does that mean that my original run never happened? 595 00:33:41,000 --> 00:33:42,600 Speaker 2: Right? Like a lead? 596 00:33:43,280 --> 00:33:46,720 Speaker 3: Okay, today, the Eagles had the lead, they had the momentum. 597 00:33:46,760 --> 00:33:49,360 Speaker 3: They're up thirteen to nothing, and what happened the Bills 598 00:33:49,880 --> 00:33:53,200 Speaker 3: stole the momentum. They had a chance to take the 599 00:33:53,280 --> 00:33:56,160 Speaker 3: lead and win the game. That doesn't mean if they 600 00:33:56,160 --> 00:33:58,640 Speaker 3: were able to do that, the Eagles never had a 601 00:33:58,760 --> 00:34:03,000 Speaker 3: lead to begin with. Right, It's just so bad. It's 602 00:34:03,040 --> 00:34:09,360 Speaker 3: just such bad logic. Momentum absolutely exists. And this is 603 00:34:09,360 --> 00:34:11,640 Speaker 3: on the heels of me doing a list the last 604 00:34:11,719 --> 00:34:14,839 Speaker 3: time I filled in for Big Ben. Right, So I'm 605 00:34:14,840 --> 00:34:19,040 Speaker 3: doing list radio at least one segment that I thought 606 00:34:19,080 --> 00:34:21,839 Speaker 3: was good at least a good idea, and it was 607 00:34:22,400 --> 00:34:26,040 Speaker 3: the biggest surprise NFL teams this season, good or bad? 608 00:34:26,360 --> 00:34:28,400 Speaker 3: You know what did the top five look like? I 609 00:34:28,520 --> 00:34:31,239 Speaker 3: was entertained. Maybe I was only one, but yeah, I 610 00:34:31,280 --> 00:34:35,080 Speaker 3: was doing a list segment. I know Ben hateses list radio, 611 00:34:36,000 --> 00:34:41,120 Speaker 3: and then I'm doing Yes. Momentum is absolutely, without a doubt, 612 00:34:41,480 --> 00:34:45,640 Speaker 3: unequivocally a real thing in sports. Oh, Coop, I'll say 613 00:34:45,719 --> 00:34:46,319 Speaker 3: this is the last thing. 614 00:34:46,360 --> 00:34:46,759 Speaker 2: I'll say. 615 00:34:47,760 --> 00:34:50,760 Speaker 3: I'm sick to my stomach here because I was watching 616 00:34:50,800 --> 00:34:52,160 Speaker 3: a game a couple. 617 00:34:51,960 --> 00:34:55,160 Speaker 2: Of weeks ago. It was the Mountain. 618 00:34:54,840 --> 00:35:01,839 Speaker 3: West Championship game. Okay, and it's Boise State and they're 619 00:35:01,840 --> 00:35:06,560 Speaker 3: playing UNLV I think, and RG three is on the call, right, 620 00:35:07,239 --> 00:35:09,680 Speaker 3: and They're about twelve minutes to go in the game. 621 00:35:10,360 --> 00:35:13,000 Speaker 3: And I had just been arguing with Looney about this 622 00:35:13,120 --> 00:35:16,600 Speaker 3: right where trading texts, where trading voicemail, you know how 623 00:35:16,640 --> 00:35:20,000 Speaker 3: Looney is. So it went from us talking about momentum 624 00:35:20,480 --> 00:35:26,360 Speaker 3: to somehow Looney tying it into like molecules and I 625 00:35:26,400 --> 00:35:29,560 Speaker 3: don't know, like geopolitics, and it's like, Looney, I don't 626 00:35:29,560 --> 00:35:31,239 Speaker 3: even know what you're talking about. At this stage, they 627 00:35:31,280 --> 00:35:36,440 Speaker 3: were talking about momentum and then RG three coop he says, 628 00:35:36,520 --> 00:35:40,720 Speaker 3: I'm not even Kennedy goes, momentum is not only real 629 00:35:40,920 --> 00:35:46,040 Speaker 3: in football, it is real in life. And I'm like, Boob, 630 00:35:46,239 --> 00:35:49,200 Speaker 3: let's go RG three And I went and I looked 631 00:35:49,239 --> 00:35:50,920 Speaker 3: and I'm like, oh can I And they were going 632 00:35:50,960 --> 00:35:53,760 Speaker 3: to replay the game on FS one. I'm like record, 633 00:35:53,880 --> 00:35:56,840 Speaker 3: I'm recording the game. And so I'm watching the replay 634 00:35:56,840 --> 00:35:58,400 Speaker 3: of the game. I'm like, all right, I remember I 635 00:35:58,400 --> 00:36:00,360 Speaker 3: wrote it down, twelve minute mark, this is our this 636 00:36:00,480 --> 00:36:02,919 Speaker 3: is audio gold. I'm gonna send this to Looney right away. 637 00:36:03,600 --> 00:36:06,279 Speaker 3: And what they do they skipped forward. It was like 638 00:36:06,320 --> 00:36:08,759 Speaker 3: a dead period of the game, like there's a huge lead. 639 00:36:09,400 --> 00:36:11,320 Speaker 3: And it went from I don't know like the beginning 640 00:36:11,360 --> 00:36:13,840 Speaker 3: of the fourth quarter, like seven minutes in the fourth quarter. 641 00:36:13,960 --> 00:36:16,920 Speaker 3: They totally skipped over it. I can't find it. I 642 00:36:16,960 --> 00:36:20,400 Speaker 3: can't find it anywhere. But shout out to Robert Griffin, 643 00:36:20,440 --> 00:36:22,680 Speaker 3: the third Man. He believes in momentum, not just in 644 00:36:22,719 --> 00:36:26,160 Speaker 3: football but also in life. But look, man, at least 645 00:36:26,400 --> 00:36:32,400 Speaker 3: in sports. Oh gosh, momentum absolutely exist. You know what 646 00:36:32,520 --> 00:36:33,240 Speaker 3: else exists? 647 00:36:33,560 --> 00:36:34,959 Speaker 2: The who Am I?
