Rick Neuheisel from CBS Sports will try to 26 00:01:18,680 --> 00:01:25,039 Speaker 2: make sense of the college football playoff the matchups revealed 27 00:01:25,120 --> 00:01:29,080 Speaker 2: yesterday and a couple of questions there, including Notre Dame 28 00:01:29,120 --> 00:01:31,199 Speaker 2: not in and then they tapped out of a bowl 29 00:01:31,240 --> 00:01:34,520 Speaker 2: game as well. Their athletic director Pete Bavaqua will join us. 30 00:01:34,520 --> 00:01:38,360 Speaker 2: Coming up next hour. Chris Simms from NBC Football Night 31 00:01:38,400 --> 00:01:41,400 Speaker 2: in America. We'll recap what we saw last night. Are 32 00:01:41,440 --> 00:01:45,319 Speaker 2: the Chiefs done done? And what about the Ravens losing 33 00:01:45,360 --> 00:01:47,840 Speaker 2: to the Steelers as well? It became more of who 34 00:01:48,000 --> 00:01:52,040 Speaker 2: lost this weekend. Colts lose, they lose their quarterback, Chiefs lose, 35 00:01:52,040 --> 00:01:56,520 Speaker 2: Bengals lose, Buccaneers lose, and the Ravens lose. But we'll 36 00:01:57,000 --> 00:01:59,080 Speaker 2: talk about that as we move forward. We got a 37 00:01:59,120 --> 00:02:00,840 Speaker 2: month left in the regular season. 38 00:02:01,200 --> 00:02:01,600 Speaker 3: Eagles. 39 00:02:01,600 --> 00:02:04,400 Speaker 2: If the Chargers coming up tonight, the Eagles are two 40 00:02:04,440 --> 00:02:08,160 Speaker 2: and a half point favorites. All right, I was curious 41 00:02:08,480 --> 00:02:12,200 Speaker 2: who is the favorite to win the national title. After 42 00:02:12,240 --> 00:02:15,959 Speaker 2: the College Football Playoff Committee came out with their matchups. 43 00:02:16,040 --> 00:02:20,160 Speaker 2: Ohio State is number one, followed by Indiana. Those are 44 00:02:20,200 --> 00:02:24,800 Speaker 2: the two top heavies, and then it's Georgia, Oregon, Texas Tech, 45 00:02:25,240 --> 00:02:27,400 Speaker 2: and then it dips down to Texas, A and M. 46 00:02:27,960 --> 00:02:32,480 Speaker 2: So really you're looking at five teams, maybe Ohio State 47 00:02:32,520 --> 00:02:36,880 Speaker 2: in Indiana, Ohio State plus twenty two forty, Indiana plus 48 00:02:36,960 --> 00:02:41,000 Speaker 2: two fifty, then Georgia six hundred, Oregon plus seven to fifty, 49 00:02:41,080 --> 00:02:43,919 Speaker 2: Texas Tech plus eight hundred, A and M goes down 50 00:02:44,000 --> 00:02:49,160 Speaker 2: to plus eighteen hundred. Then it goes Ole, miss Miami, Alabama, Oklahoma, 51 00:02:49,240 --> 00:02:56,040 Speaker 2: James Madison, and Tulane. The Notre Dame situation, this will 52 00:02:56,120 --> 00:03:00,600 Speaker 2: lead to change with the college football playoffs, and well, 53 00:03:00,600 --> 00:03:02,240 Speaker 2: we'll talk a little bit more about this with the 54 00:03:02,280 --> 00:03:05,920 Speaker 2: Notre Dame athletic director next hour, because there was a 55 00:03:05,960 --> 00:03:10,800 Speaker 2: report by Ross Dellinger that Notre Dame is guaranteed next 56 00:03:10,840 --> 00:03:13,120 Speaker 2: year if they're in the top twelve ranked in the 57 00:03:13,120 --> 00:03:16,160 Speaker 2: top twelve, they will make the playoffs. But that might 58 00:03:16,160 --> 00:03:17,919 Speaker 2: be a moot point because I think we're going to 59 00:03:18,000 --> 00:03:20,640 Speaker 2: blow past twelve teams. We're going to sixteen teams. But 60 00:03:21,040 --> 00:03:23,840 Speaker 2: we'll talk about that with the athletic director at Notre Dame. 61 00:03:24,480 --> 00:03:26,760 Speaker 2: I don't have any problem with Miami getting in. I 62 00:03:26,800 --> 00:03:29,959 Speaker 2: have a problem with Miami getting in that they were 63 00:03:30,040 --> 00:03:33,160 Speaker 2: ranked behind Notre Dame and if you want to put 64 00:03:33,200 --> 00:03:35,560 Speaker 2: them in front of Notre Dame a couple of weeks ago, 65 00:03:35,720 --> 00:03:39,520 Speaker 2: I don't have any problem with that. It just looks weird. 66 00:03:39,800 --> 00:03:42,880 Speaker 2: It doesn't pass the eye test here. And if you 67 00:03:42,960 --> 00:03:45,880 Speaker 2: think about it, and you think about, you know, sort 68 00:03:45,880 --> 00:03:48,760 Speaker 2: of everything that we went through the last couple of weeks. 69 00:03:49,040 --> 00:03:51,640 Speaker 2: You know, these ranking shows every week on the Mothership 70 00:03:52,560 --> 00:03:55,840 Speaker 2: that puts the College Football Playoff Committee in a really 71 00:03:55,880 --> 00:04:00,600 Speaker 2: bad situation because they're explaining their rationale weekend week out 72 00:04:01,080 --> 00:04:03,839 Speaker 2: until they get to the point like yesterday where they 73 00:04:03,880 --> 00:04:08,120 Speaker 2: really had a hard time explaining. Okay, so Miami and 74 00:04:08,120 --> 00:04:12,480 Speaker 2: Notre Dame didn't play, but Miami jumps Notre Dame and 75 00:04:12,520 --> 00:04:16,960 Speaker 2: that's okay. Miami jumps Notre Dame, neither play. Alabama loses 76 00:04:17,000 --> 00:04:22,360 Speaker 2: to Georgia really wasn't competitive, and Alabama doesn't move BYU 77 00:04:22,440 --> 00:04:25,560 Speaker 2: loses to Texas and drops one spot. So we're just 78 00:04:25,640 --> 00:04:28,560 Speaker 2: trying to make sense of what is the rationale here, 79 00:04:29,160 --> 00:04:32,840 Speaker 2: What are the mitigating factors here? Of why you're putting 80 00:04:32,880 --> 00:04:36,200 Speaker 2: somebody here, why you're putting somebody there, Somebody goes up, 81 00:04:36,279 --> 00:04:39,160 Speaker 2: somebody goes down. Those are the things you're just we 82 00:04:39,200 --> 00:04:41,880 Speaker 2: want to know what are the rules we're playing by? 83 00:04:42,440 --> 00:04:46,120 Speaker 2: And it feels like sometimes it's checkers and not chess 84 00:04:46,240 --> 00:04:47,120 Speaker 2: and vice versa. 85 00:04:47,640 --> 00:04:49,640 Speaker 3: And I think anybody who's. 86 00:04:49,440 --> 00:04:52,520 Speaker 2: A college football fan just wants to know what exactly 87 00:04:52,600 --> 00:04:56,039 Speaker 2: are you factoring in here and not factoring in here? 88 00:04:56,560 --> 00:04:58,120 Speaker 3: Miami beat Notre Dame. 89 00:04:58,800 --> 00:05:00,640 Speaker 2: A win in the beginning of the year should count 90 00:05:00,680 --> 00:05:02,480 Speaker 2: as much as a win at the end of the year. 91 00:05:03,040 --> 00:05:05,440 Speaker 2: And I don't have any problem with that, But I 92 00:05:05,480 --> 00:05:09,960 Speaker 2: do have a problem when it doesn't make sense. And 93 00:05:10,040 --> 00:05:12,080 Speaker 2: I gave you a heads up last week from my 94 00:05:12,160 --> 00:05:17,240 Speaker 2: college football source, and he talked about it felt like 95 00:05:17,760 --> 00:05:21,279 Speaker 2: felt like, and I can give you the information here, 96 00:05:21,680 --> 00:05:24,480 Speaker 2: but it felt like they were going to set up 97 00:05:24,560 --> 00:05:28,040 Speaker 2: Notre Dame for disappointment. Now this is my source saying this, 98 00:05:29,279 --> 00:05:31,640 Speaker 2: but it feels like they're going to go to sixteen 99 00:05:31,680 --> 00:05:37,480 Speaker 2: teams next year. But and I had so much information 100 00:05:37,720 --> 00:05:43,159 Speaker 2: over the weekend with this. Some of it I can 101 00:05:43,160 --> 00:05:45,400 Speaker 2: tell you, some of it I can't, but you know, 102 00:05:45,480 --> 00:05:50,159 Speaker 2: it felt like, in his opinion, Notre Dame was being 103 00:05:50,279 --> 00:05:52,320 Speaker 2: set up that they were going to be jumped here 104 00:05:52,560 --> 00:05:55,359 Speaker 2: and not make the college football playoffs. Now that was 105 00:05:55,480 --> 00:05:56,040 Speaker 2: last year. 106 00:05:56,720 --> 00:05:57,080 Speaker 3: Okay. 107 00:05:57,960 --> 00:06:01,200 Speaker 2: He does say the consensus across all conference meetings this 108 00:06:01,279 --> 00:06:05,120 Speaker 2: week is the college football Playoff will be sixteen teams 109 00:06:05,200 --> 00:06:10,280 Speaker 2: by next year. So there's a lot that was going on. 110 00:06:10,640 --> 00:06:13,480 Speaker 2: And this is from somebody who's around this situation. I 111 00:06:13,520 --> 00:06:16,960 Speaker 2: don't want to give too many details, but they're around 112 00:06:17,000 --> 00:06:21,919 Speaker 2: the situation, and they're saying, you know, Alabama and Miami, 113 00:06:22,080 --> 00:06:24,400 Speaker 2: like keep an eye on Alabama was what I was 114 00:06:24,440 --> 00:06:29,360 Speaker 2: told that Notre Dame was being, in his opinion, set 115 00:06:29,440 --> 00:06:32,760 Speaker 2: up to be disappointed. Those are his words. So that's 116 00:06:32,800 --> 00:06:36,400 Speaker 2: where it gets a little tricky here. And the College 117 00:06:36,400 --> 00:06:39,240 Speaker 2: Football Playoff Committee, now I don't know if they love 118 00:06:39,279 --> 00:06:40,200 Speaker 2: this attention or not. 119 00:06:40,640 --> 00:06:42,920 Speaker 3: We've talked about it. You want to talk about this more. 120 00:06:43,120 --> 00:06:45,600 Speaker 2: You knew who I thought about immediately when Notre Dame 121 00:06:45,880 --> 00:06:50,040 Speaker 2: got left out. Who's the one guy who could benefit 122 00:06:50,720 --> 00:06:53,800 Speaker 2: from somebody else being the headline in college football? And 123 00:06:53,839 --> 00:06:56,760 Speaker 2: that's Lane Kiffin because I thought, all right, Lane must 124 00:06:56,800 --> 00:07:00,400 Speaker 2: love this. It's like anybody anybody talking about me didn't 125 00:07:00,400 --> 00:07:03,000 Speaker 2: show up at college game day. Ole Miss is in 126 00:07:03,040 --> 00:07:05,960 Speaker 2: the playoffs, but nobody was talking about Lane Kiffin for 127 00:07:06,000 --> 00:07:09,640 Speaker 2: a day or two because everybody was talking about Notre Dame. 128 00:07:09,840 --> 00:07:11,680 Speaker 2: I wish Notre Dame would play in a bowl game. 129 00:07:12,120 --> 00:07:12,440 Speaker 3: I do. 130 00:07:13,960 --> 00:07:16,880 Speaker 2: And once again, Pete Bavaqua with the athletic director is 131 00:07:16,920 --> 00:07:20,040 Speaker 2: coming on and I want to ask him, you know, 132 00:07:21,560 --> 00:07:23,760 Speaker 2: why not now they're going to have them play against 133 00:07:23,800 --> 00:07:28,680 Speaker 2: BYU as the last two out. I guess bowl game. 134 00:07:29,080 --> 00:07:31,520 Speaker 2: I think it was the Pop Tart Bowl. Oh, yes, 135 00:07:31,600 --> 00:07:33,680 Speaker 2: I think it was the Pop Tart slapping the face 136 00:07:33,720 --> 00:07:34,320 Speaker 2: to pop Tarts. 137 00:07:34,400 --> 00:07:36,040 Speaker 3: I know, take that. 138 00:07:38,760 --> 00:07:41,960 Speaker 2: Yeah, But you know there's just it's a lot of 139 00:07:42,000 --> 00:07:46,840 Speaker 2: politics here. And yes, have I said before Notre Dame's brand, Yes, yes, 140 00:07:47,240 --> 00:07:50,920 Speaker 2: that what was surprising. I mean, Georgia blew out Alabama. 141 00:07:51,440 --> 00:07:54,240 Speaker 2: That was not competitive at all. Now I got to 142 00:07:54,280 --> 00:07:57,040 Speaker 2: give Alabama credit. They got to the SEC title game. 143 00:07:57,360 --> 00:08:02,120 Speaker 2: There's no other conference like the SEC. That's accomplishment. You 144 00:08:02,160 --> 00:08:05,880 Speaker 2: were not competitive, and you don't you know, you weren't 145 00:08:05,960 --> 00:08:10,440 Speaker 2: punished by it. But it comes back to Miami should 146 00:08:10,440 --> 00:08:12,240 Speaker 2: have been ranked in front of Notre Dame. If you 147 00:08:12,360 --> 00:08:16,000 Speaker 2: really felt that way, then put him there, and put 148 00:08:16,080 --> 00:08:18,320 Speaker 2: him there a month earlier. And I don't think anybody 149 00:08:18,360 --> 00:08:21,800 Speaker 2: has a problem because it was head to head. I'm 150 00:08:21,840 --> 00:08:24,560 Speaker 2: fine with that. It's just where you go things that 151 00:08:24,640 --> 00:08:27,080 Speaker 2: make you go hmm. And I had a few of 152 00:08:27,120 --> 00:08:30,760 Speaker 2: those this past weekend, and then you get a spokesperson 153 00:08:30,800 --> 00:08:34,760 Speaker 2: on there is try to explain it, and I feel bad. 154 00:08:34,960 --> 00:08:37,000 Speaker 2: You know, you got one person out there taking the 155 00:08:37,040 --> 00:08:41,000 Speaker 2: slings and arrows. He's Custer. You know they're firing. You 156 00:08:41,040 --> 00:08:44,200 Speaker 2: know those arrows are hurting. But college football, you get 157 00:08:44,200 --> 00:08:46,880 Speaker 2: through this and then we're gonna have great games. It 158 00:08:46,920 --> 00:08:50,480 Speaker 2: shouldn't be lost on anybody what Indiana accomplished this year. 159 00:08:51,960 --> 00:08:58,160 Speaker 2: Indiana is the losingest college football program in history. They 160 00:08:58,160 --> 00:09:00,320 Speaker 2: have the number one team in the country. They are 161 00:09:00,360 --> 00:09:04,480 Speaker 2: going to have the Heisman Trophy winner. If you're over 162 00:09:04,520 --> 00:09:09,200 Speaker 2: the age of forty, I mean, just let that sink in. 163 00:09:10,040 --> 00:09:12,439 Speaker 3: That's incredible. It's incredible. 164 00:09:13,200 --> 00:09:16,040 Speaker 2: You beat Ohio State, You're the number one team of 165 00:09:16,080 --> 00:09:21,120 Speaker 2: the country, and Kurt Signetti in two years accomplish the impossible. 166 00:09:22,920 --> 00:09:25,080 Speaker 2: And I hope that people don't lose sight of that. 167 00:09:25,160 --> 00:09:28,199 Speaker 2: Now they're probably not looking at Indiana go and they're 168 00:09:28,240 --> 00:09:31,120 Speaker 2: going to win a national title. Look, you beat Oregon 169 00:09:31,160 --> 00:09:34,000 Speaker 2: at Oregon, you got my attention. You beat Ohio State 170 00:09:34,200 --> 00:09:36,640 Speaker 2: on a neutral site for the Big Ten title in 171 00:09:36,760 --> 00:09:41,839 Speaker 2: a tough you know who's going to break first, great 172 00:09:41,920 --> 00:09:45,200 Speaker 2: defensive game. You know, those are the kind of games 173 00:09:45,200 --> 00:09:47,760 Speaker 2: that you go. Ohio State wins these games. They have 174 00:09:47,840 --> 00:09:50,839 Speaker 2: so much talent. I think they're better or thought they 175 00:09:50,840 --> 00:09:53,800 Speaker 2: were better than last year's team. Give credit to Indiana. 176 00:09:54,280 --> 00:09:57,360 Speaker 2: We wondered this year coming into the season. Marvin goes, 177 00:09:57,400 --> 00:10:00,280 Speaker 2: who do you think is this year's Indiana? And then 178 00:10:00,280 --> 00:10:04,360 Speaker 2: we realized it's Indiana. Is in this year's Indiana? But 179 00:10:04,520 --> 00:10:08,400 Speaker 2: pretty pretty amazing. That story should not be lost with 180 00:10:08,480 --> 00:10:11,600 Speaker 2: everything else that's happened with Lane Kiffen, and certainly Notre 181 00:10:11,679 --> 00:10:14,360 Speaker 2: Dame getting kicked to the curb. All right, we'll get 182 00:10:14,400 --> 00:10:17,319 Speaker 2: to phone calls A seven seven three DP show email 183 00:10:17,360 --> 00:10:20,640 Speaker 2: address DP at Danpatrick dot com, Twitter handle a DP show. 184 00:10:20,920 --> 00:10:23,000 Speaker 2: Chris Sims will join us, coming up here in a 185 00:10:23,040 --> 00:10:26,960 Speaker 2: little bit. Matt in South Bend, Hi, Matt. 186 00:10:28,160 --> 00:10:30,680 Speaker 4: Oh, good morning, Dan. When I was getting the pie 187 00:10:30,760 --> 00:10:32,880 Speaker 4: to the face a couple a few weeks ago. You 188 00:10:32,920 --> 00:10:35,320 Speaker 4: guys told me you're I reminded you of Shanean Irving. 189 00:10:35,400 --> 00:10:37,800 Speaker 4: And I'm not going to give a Shaye and Irving 190 00:10:37,920 --> 00:10:42,120 Speaker 4: like grants, but just a little lost at how Alabama 191 00:10:42,160 --> 00:10:45,280 Speaker 4: can lose the conference championship game and not get drafted, 192 00:10:45,360 --> 00:10:49,560 Speaker 4: but BYU gets drapped and you know, Ohio State gets 193 00:10:49,559 --> 00:10:52,640 Speaker 4: strapped and it a little little bit of a loss 194 00:10:52,679 --> 00:10:53,520 Speaker 4: here in South Bend. 195 00:10:54,640 --> 00:10:57,280 Speaker 2: Yeah, you know, I guess there's the element of surprise. 196 00:10:57,760 --> 00:11:00,760 Speaker 2: I wasn't shocked because I'd been having a heads up 197 00:11:00,840 --> 00:11:05,080 Speaker 2: that Notre Dame is cheetering on the brink. And uh 198 00:11:05,320 --> 00:11:07,760 Speaker 2: and once again my source said that prior you know 199 00:11:07,920 --> 00:11:12,920 Speaker 2: to this this weekend. Hey, it feels like Notre Dame's 200 00:11:12,960 --> 00:11:15,880 Speaker 2: being set up to be disappointed once again, those are 201 00:11:15,960 --> 00:11:19,679 Speaker 2: his words, being set up to be disappointed. 202 00:11:20,200 --> 00:11:20,960 Speaker 3: Uh. 203 00:11:21,440 --> 00:11:24,640 Speaker 2: That is kind of damning there that it feel it 204 00:11:24,760 --> 00:11:28,079 Speaker 2: just feels like, you know, in the room and. 205 00:11:28,040 --> 00:11:29,080 Speaker 3: We'll never get in the room. 206 00:11:29,120 --> 00:11:32,400 Speaker 2: Though. Boy, wouldn't you love that I was told the 207 00:11:32,440 --> 00:11:36,840 Speaker 2: ACC you know, that was a mess where you know 208 00:11:36,920 --> 00:11:39,520 Speaker 2: what they were politicking for and do you get a 209 00:11:39,559 --> 00:11:44,080 Speaker 2: team in there? Maybe the ACC should have let Notre 210 00:11:44,160 --> 00:11:46,040 Speaker 2: Dame be their representative. 211 00:11:46,200 --> 00:11:48,599 Speaker 3: Maybe that would have solved everything. Yeah, seton, you know, 212 00:11:48,679 --> 00:11:49,120 Speaker 3: I think. 213 00:11:49,040 --> 00:11:52,120 Speaker 5: Is a little cheesy. They had all day Saturday morning 214 00:11:52,280 --> 00:11:55,560 Speaker 5: they would do like look ins at here's the selection committee. 215 00:11:55,600 --> 00:11:58,320 Speaker 5: And it was like all of these you know, dudes 216 00:11:58,400 --> 00:12:02,040 Speaker 5: sitting in these big chairs what you assume is watching 217 00:12:02,080 --> 00:12:04,840 Speaker 5: lots of monitors on TV. They are, they're taking in 218 00:12:04,920 --> 00:12:07,160 Speaker 5: all the games. Yet some of them had a laptop 219 00:12:07,200 --> 00:12:10,520 Speaker 5: on their lap, like on their desk or come on, 220 00:12:11,080 --> 00:12:12,880 Speaker 5: none of these dudes really want to be sitting there 221 00:12:12,880 --> 00:12:13,800 Speaker 5: doing that altogether. 222 00:12:14,720 --> 00:12:15,800 Speaker 3: Just put us in the room after. 223 00:12:15,840 --> 00:12:17,280 Speaker 6: We don't want to do these TV hits. 224 00:12:17,400 --> 00:12:18,319 Speaker 3: It's a little awkward. 225 00:12:18,440 --> 00:12:22,280 Speaker 2: Yeah, oh, look at them the hard at work, you know, 226 00:12:22,679 --> 00:12:26,480 Speaker 2: taking making any last minute adjustments to what they're seeing here. 227 00:12:28,720 --> 00:12:30,520 Speaker 5: I don't think they're like, Okay, we're sitting here for 228 00:12:30,559 --> 00:12:32,280 Speaker 5: the ten seconds and then we're going back up to 229 00:12:32,320 --> 00:12:33,360 Speaker 5: the buffet over there. 230 00:12:33,400 --> 00:12:34,040 Speaker 3: All right. Great. 231 00:12:34,120 --> 00:12:36,520 Speaker 2: Wouldn't it been funny if they're playing like Papa's shot 232 00:12:36,679 --> 00:12:38,920 Speaker 2: eating wings got a keg stand. 233 00:12:39,000 --> 00:12:41,400 Speaker 5: I't ever see them actually arguing about something like what 234 00:12:41,440 --> 00:12:44,040 Speaker 5: are they talking about? Look at the ac secret that 235 00:12:44,040 --> 00:12:46,720 Speaker 5: guy's going crazy whatever, you know, whoever just. 236 00:12:46,640 --> 00:12:49,880 Speaker 2: Stage it that that'd be great.

Ah here they are, Yeah, 238 00:12:54,559 --> 00:12:57,480 Speaker 2: Richard in Indianapolis, Hi, Richard, what's on your mind today? 239 00:12:59,000 --> 00:12:59,760 Speaker 7: Good morning, DP. 240 00:13:01,480 --> 00:13:05,760 Speaker 8: Best of the weekend. Obviously, my Indiana Hoosiers get it done. 241 00:13:06,440 --> 00:13:08,960 Speaker 8: They get it done defensively, which I don't even know. 242 00:13:09,200 --> 00:13:12,920 Speaker 8: That's just so surreal to me. The mood in Indianapolis 243 00:13:13,080 --> 00:13:17,400 Speaker 8: is forever lifted. Mood in Bloomington has forever lifted. My 244 00:13:17,480 --> 00:13:20,360 Speaker 8: worst of the weekend Omar Cooper goes down on the 245 00:13:20,400 --> 00:13:22,480 Speaker 8: third play of the game. He's one of the only 246 00:13:22,520 --> 00:13:27,880 Speaker 8: guys that stayed in the Signetti transfer there and he 247 00:13:27,960 --> 00:13:30,880 Speaker 8: played his first season with IU in won three games, 248 00:13:30,960 --> 00:13:33,880 Speaker 8: and he went out third playing the game from Indianapolis. 249 00:13:33,920 --> 00:13:36,840 Speaker 8: That was really hard to watch. But we're celebrating, never 250 00:13:36,880 --> 00:13:37,640 Speaker 8: stopping drinking. 251 00:13:37,840 --> 00:13:41,400 Speaker 2: I love you all right, Thank you, Richard. Yeah, your 252 00:13:41,400 --> 00:13:44,200 Speaker 2: colts aren't good. They've lost for their last five. They 253 00:13:44,240 --> 00:13:47,000 Speaker 2: started seven to one. I don't think they're going to 254 00:13:47,040 --> 00:13:51,080 Speaker 2: make playoffs. You got Danny Dimes done for the year. 255 00:13:51,760 --> 00:13:56,320 Speaker 2: He's going to be done probably until next November. Achilles surgery. 256 00:13:57,160 --> 00:14:02,040 Speaker 2: What do you do with Anthony Richardson. He's not healthy, 257 00:14:02,400 --> 00:14:05,599 Speaker 2: got hurt in a locker room incident. You got to 258 00:14:05,640 --> 00:14:10,400 Speaker 2: bring in somebody, and here's your schedules. At the Seahawks, 259 00:14:11,160 --> 00:14:17,240 Speaker 2: play the Niners, play the Jags, at the Texans, and 260 00:14:17,320 --> 00:14:18,640 Speaker 2: the Jags are playing well. 261 00:14:19,200 --> 00:14:19,920 Speaker 3: And they were right. 262 00:14:20,000 --> 00:14:23,840 Speaker 2: Nobody believes in you, No they don't, but prove us wrong. 263 00:14:24,600 --> 00:14:28,720 Speaker 2: It was an impressive performance yesterday. But the Colts, you're 264 00:14:28,800 --> 00:14:33,240 Speaker 2: at the Seahawks, you host, the Niners, host the Jags. 265 00:14:33,240 --> 00:14:36,800 Speaker 2: You're at the Texans. By the way, that Texans defense, 266 00:14:38,960 --> 00:14:42,160 Speaker 2: I told you their top three, they may be better 267 00:14:42,200 --> 00:14:45,360 Speaker 2: than that. Just to ask Patrick Mahomes. All right, we'll 268 00:14:45,400 --> 00:14:47,960 Speaker 2: take a break. Chris Simms will join us. Are the 269 00:14:48,040 --> 00:14:52,520 Speaker 2: Chiefs done done?

I don't like them doing that, 288 00:15:52,640 --> 00:15:56,560 Speaker 2: but I understand why because they were gonna play BYU. 289 00:15:56,760 --> 00:15:58,920 Speaker 2: At least that's what I'm told in the Pop Tart Bowl. 290 00:15:59,560 --> 00:16:02,640 Speaker 2: They have none to gain if they beat BYU, which 291 00:16:02,680 --> 00:16:06,360 Speaker 2: they should. Okay, what's it mean now? You can say, well, 292 00:16:06,400 --> 00:16:08,080 Speaker 2: you get to play another game in the bowl game. 293 00:16:08,120 --> 00:16:10,800 Speaker 2: If I'm Jeremiah Love, I'm not playing in that bowl game. 294 00:16:11,200 --> 00:16:13,320 Speaker 2: I mean he's going to be the number one running back, 295 00:16:13,360 --> 00:16:14,760 Speaker 2: would be a top fifteen pick. 296 00:16:15,240 --> 00:16:18,520 Speaker 3: No, you're not going to play in that. You can't. 297 00:16:18,680 --> 00:16:21,760 Speaker 2: You can't risk losing to BYU and then have everybody 298 00:16:21,800 --> 00:16:24,200 Speaker 2: say the same thing. Yeah, see, never should have been 299 00:16:24,200 --> 00:16:30,000 Speaker 2: in Notre Dame would be favored over probably I'm guessing 300 00:16:30,400 --> 00:16:33,440 Speaker 2: at least seven teams out of the twelve on a 301 00:16:33,480 --> 00:16:37,480 Speaker 2: neutral site, Notre Dame probably seven, maybe eight teams from 302 00:16:37,520 --> 00:16:41,640 Speaker 2: what I'm told Las Vegas is saying this. But they 303 00:16:41,640 --> 00:16:44,200 Speaker 2: would have been playing probably at A and M in 304 00:16:44,240 --> 00:16:47,520 Speaker 2: a rematch with that game they lost in South Bend. Yes, Paulin, I. 305 00:16:47,440 --> 00:16:49,000 Speaker 9: Know we got Chris Simms. But the other thing I've 306 00:16:49,040 --> 00:16:51,200 Speaker 9: been thinking about is why would Notre Dame pass on 307 00:16:51,240 --> 00:16:53,800 Speaker 9: the bowl game knowing the flak they're going to get 308 00:16:53,800 --> 00:16:56,800 Speaker 9: for it. I think they Notre Dame has always thought 309 00:16:56,840 --> 00:17:00,400 Speaker 9: of themselves and proudly as a different ends even the 310 00:17:00,400 --> 00:17:02,720 Speaker 9: rest of college football, and they want to be treated 311 00:17:02,720 --> 00:17:04,679 Speaker 9: that so, so I think they were conscious of the 312 00:17:04,680 --> 00:17:08,200 Speaker 9: blowout and fallout from this, and they're like, yes, we're 313 00:17:08,359 --> 00:17:10,520 Speaker 9: still above it, We're Notre Dame, and this enhances their brand. 314 00:17:10,960 --> 00:17:14,080 Speaker 2: Chris Simms Pro Football Talk Live, co host Football Night 315 00:17:14,119 --> 00:17:17,679 Speaker 2: in America and the Chris Sims Unbuttoned Podcast. 316 00:17:18,000 --> 00:17:18,720 Speaker 3: All right, let me. 317 00:17:18,640 --> 00:17:20,600 Speaker 2: Start with Notre Dame. Let me start with what the 318 00:17:20,640 --> 00:17:22,440 Speaker 2: College Football Playoff Committee did? 319 00:17:22,880 --> 00:17:26,399 Speaker 6: Your thoughts, Yeah, I think it's I'm with you for 320 00:17:26,560 --> 00:17:29,200 Speaker 6: I think it's ridiculous right that Notre Dame doesn't get 321 00:17:29,200 --> 00:17:30,800 Speaker 6: into the college like are they one of the twelve 322 00:17:30,800 --> 00:17:33,800 Speaker 6: best play teams in college football? Without a doubt, Notre 323 00:17:33,880 --> 00:17:36,639 Speaker 6: Dame could win the national championship. You know, I've been 324 00:17:36,680 --> 00:17:38,520 Speaker 6: one that's kind of been saying for a few weeks 325 00:17:38,520 --> 00:17:41,679 Speaker 6: when I do college football stuff here at NBC on Saturdays, 326 00:17:41,920 --> 00:17:46,160 Speaker 6: it's the best offense in college football systematically, the players, 327 00:17:46,480 --> 00:17:49,400 Speaker 6: it's the two best running backs, it's NFL receivers, it's 328 00:17:49,440 --> 00:17:52,200 Speaker 6: a big time NFL tight end. So I'm shocked by 329 00:17:52,200 --> 00:17:54,960 Speaker 6: that they just got healthy on defense a few weeks ago. 330 00:17:55,280 --> 00:17:57,320 Speaker 6: They've been shut down on that side of the ball. 331 00:17:57,600 --> 00:18:00,440 Speaker 6: I know their schedule was a little less than Tatley 332 00:18:00,520 --> 00:18:02,560 Speaker 6: this year. They got them lucky. You can't ever sit 333 00:18:02,600 --> 00:18:05,440 Speaker 6: here and tell me Notre Dame tries to schedule a cupcakes. 334 00:18:05,480 --> 00:18:07,720 Speaker 6: They try to schedule everybody some years though it just 335 00:18:07,800 --> 00:18:10,800 Speaker 6: doesn't work out. They had the two toughest games to 336 00:18:10,840 --> 00:18:13,720 Speaker 6: start the season out of anybody in college football. I 337 00:18:13,840 --> 00:18:17,760 Speaker 6: want the best teams right now. Right Miami's played, I mean, 338 00:18:17,840 --> 00:18:20,119 Speaker 6: Notre Dame has played better football than Miami for the 339 00:18:20,200 --> 00:18:22,960 Speaker 6: last two and a half months. Miami lost at home 340 00:18:23,000 --> 00:18:27,640 Speaker 6: to unranked Louisville. They lost on the road to unranked SMU. Right, 341 00:18:27,760 --> 00:18:30,959 Speaker 6: Alabama hasn't played good football in six weeks and then 342 00:18:31,000 --> 00:18:33,679 Speaker 6: they go up a spot after getting they should have 343 00:18:33,680 --> 00:18:36,359 Speaker 6: been blown out worse on Saturday. That to me is 344 00:18:36,400 --> 00:18:38,720 Speaker 6: what doesn't make sense. And I don't care about fair 345 00:18:38,840 --> 00:18:41,240 Speaker 6: I want the twelve best in. So I'm a little 346 00:18:41,280 --> 00:18:44,000 Speaker 6: bit like, sorry, JMU and Tulane, I just don't give 347 00:18:44,000 --> 00:18:47,120 Speaker 6: a damn about you. Notre Dame should be in. And yeah, 348 00:18:47,119 --> 00:18:49,320 Speaker 6: it's a big travesty in my opinion, but this is 349 00:18:49,359 --> 00:18:52,280 Speaker 6: where there's always change. You need to have something like 350 00:18:52,320 --> 00:18:54,520 Speaker 6: this for change. And now you're gonna have change. And 351 00:18:54,560 --> 00:18:58,240 Speaker 6: now it's gonna be sixteen team playoff. I know I've 352 00:18:58,280 --> 00:19:00,400 Speaker 6: talked to Rick new heislb before and he's why don't 353 00:19:00,400 --> 00:19:02,560 Speaker 6: we just go to twenty four? Like, I don't want 354 00:19:02,560 --> 00:19:05,679 Speaker 6: to render the regular season meaningless, but I do. I 355 00:19:05,720 --> 00:19:10,320 Speaker 6: want to encourage college teams to play quality opponents, right. 356 00:19:10,400 --> 00:19:12,679 Speaker 6: I want to know if hey, if we end up 357 00:19:12,720 --> 00:19:16,320 Speaker 6: with two or three losses, we can make the playoffs 358 00:19:16,920 --> 00:19:19,320 Speaker 6: and we're gonna play great quality opponents. 359 00:19:19,680 --> 00:19:22,199 Speaker 2: I agree, that's what I want. We all benefit from that. 360 00:19:22,320 --> 00:19:26,720 Speaker 2: Nobody benefits from my team playing Samford. 361 00:19:27,200 --> 00:19:30,199 Speaker 3: I know it's a bad right, you're right. Well, you're right. 362 00:19:30,560 --> 00:19:32,040 Speaker 3: Teams like Texas and Notre Dame. 363 00:19:32,080 --> 00:19:33,760 Speaker 6: Maybe they're just gonna go, hey, you know what, We're 364 00:19:33,760 --> 00:19:36,760 Speaker 6: gonna play Northwest Louisiana Alabama State to start the year. 365 00:19:36,800 --> 00:19:39,959 Speaker 6: For now, I'm sorry, Oh, your ratings aren't good. Oh sorry, Well, 366 00:19:40,000 --> 00:19:41,800 Speaker 6: the committee's in a dacas if we lose to make 367 00:19:41,840 --> 00:19:44,680 Speaker 6: a good game. So you know my fault there. And again, 368 00:19:44,720 --> 00:19:46,840 Speaker 6: it's about the best teams right now. You know, I 369 00:19:46,880 --> 00:19:49,440 Speaker 6: know Miami beat Notre Dame in Week one, but let's 370 00:19:49,480 --> 00:19:53,639 Speaker 6: take into the context freshman quarterback playing on the road. 371 00:19:54,160 --> 00:19:57,040 Speaker 6: Texas A and m they can win the national championship. 372 00:19:57,040 --> 00:19:58,840 Speaker 6: They had to have a miracle play at the end 373 00:19:58,920 --> 00:20:01,400 Speaker 6: of the game to win the f football game. So yeah, 374 00:20:01,440 --> 00:20:04,439 Speaker 6: I don't love that Notre Dames and not in it. 375 00:20:04,520 --> 00:20:06,359 Speaker 6: And I have no horse in this race. I just 376 00:20:06,359 --> 00:20:08,439 Speaker 6: want to see the best teams be in it and 377 00:20:08,480 --> 00:20:11,879 Speaker 6: the best college football product. And yeah, it feels like 378 00:20:11,920 --> 00:20:15,040 Speaker 6: they messed up. Oh miss stays the same. Wait, what 379 00:20:15,560 --> 00:20:19,840 Speaker 6: is the engine that has driven old miss the coach. 380 00:20:20,240 --> 00:20:22,440 Speaker 6: That's why everybody wanted to pay them one hundred million 381 00:20:22,440 --> 00:20:25,879 Speaker 6: a year. They stay and just the nothing gets That's 382 00:20:25,920 --> 00:20:28,359 Speaker 6: like losing your quarterback, if not worse, they should have 383 00:20:28,359 --> 00:20:31,440 Speaker 6: been dropped down spots at least. So I don't understand 384 00:20:31,480 --> 00:20:33,320 Speaker 6: any of it. And yes, it looks like it was 385 00:20:33,359 --> 00:20:35,560 Speaker 6: a little too much trying to be fair to everybody 386 00:20:35,560 --> 00:20:37,400 Speaker 6: instead of just doing what's right and putting the best 387 00:20:37,400 --> 00:20:37,919 Speaker 6: teams in it. 388 00:20:38,080 --> 00:20:41,360 Speaker 2: Notre Dame Athletic director Pete Babakua will join his hour 389 00:20:41,480 --> 00:20:41,840 Speaker 2: from now. 390 00:20:42,200 --> 00:20:46,520 Speaker 3: All right, Kansas City Chiefs done done, done, done, done done. 391 00:20:46,640 --> 00:20:49,639 Speaker 6: Yes, I mean it's I don't think they're going to 392 00:20:49,720 --> 00:20:52,360 Speaker 6: make the playoffs, certainly not. I think it's done done 393 00:20:52,440 --> 00:20:56,000 Speaker 6: as far as the era of far what we've seen, 394 00:20:56,119 --> 00:20:58,280 Speaker 6: they're going to have to change their roster a little 395 00:20:58,320 --> 00:21:00,919 Speaker 6: bit and change their team, right, So, yes. 396 00:21:01,040 --> 00:21:03,640 Speaker 2: Play your finger on it, Chris, right, give me one 397 00:21:03,720 --> 00:21:06,840 Speaker 2: or two things that changed with the Chiefs this year. 398 00:21:07,160 --> 00:21:10,399 Speaker 6: Okay, First off, I think the first thing is, well, 399 00:21:10,400 --> 00:21:12,199 Speaker 6: you know, they've never been a great running team, but 400 00:21:12,280 --> 00:21:15,080 Speaker 6: some of these receivers they have, right, Xavier Worthy has 401 00:21:15,080 --> 00:21:17,439 Speaker 6: not worked out to the capacity that they intended to 402 00:21:17,520 --> 00:21:21,359 Speaker 6: as a first round pick Hollywood Brown, smaller receiver hasn't 403 00:21:21,400 --> 00:21:23,480 Speaker 6: really been able to contribute that way. That's why a 404 00:21:23,520 --> 00:21:25,520 Speaker 6: lot of teams don't like small receivers. Oh yeah, you 405 00:21:25,600 --> 00:21:27,520 Speaker 6: run four two nine, But as soon as I do 406 00:21:27,640 --> 00:21:30,159 Speaker 6: this and touch you, you run four seven five, and 407 00:21:30,200 --> 00:21:32,640 Speaker 6: now you're not that scary, right, So I think they've 408 00:21:32,680 --> 00:21:33,920 Speaker 6: missed on that right. 409 00:21:33,960 --> 00:21:36,439 Speaker 3: The defense is not as special as it used to be. 410 00:21:37,000 --> 00:21:38,879 Speaker 6: Right when they beat the forty nine ers in the 411 00:21:38,880 --> 00:21:42,360 Speaker 6: Super Bowl, they were phenomenal, right, Lugerius Snead McDuffie, they 412 00:21:42,400 --> 00:21:42,880 Speaker 6: had it all. 413 00:21:42,920 --> 00:21:45,760 Speaker 3: They could do different things. They don't have that luxury. 414 00:21:46,000 --> 00:21:48,240 Speaker 6: Chris Jones is definitely on the down side of his 415 00:21:48,359 --> 00:21:51,159 Speaker 6: career to where he's good. But is he a superstar 416 00:21:51,359 --> 00:21:53,560 Speaker 6: just take over the game weekend and week out kind 417 00:21:53,560 --> 00:21:54,360 Speaker 6: of player anymore? 418 00:21:54,680 --> 00:21:54,840 Speaker 3: No. 419 00:21:55,280 --> 00:21:58,280 Speaker 6: Nick Bolton the linebacker not quite having the year right, 420 00:21:58,320 --> 00:22:00,920 Speaker 6: So they're just they're good defense, but they're not dominant 421 00:22:01,000 --> 00:22:03,600 Speaker 6: like years past. And then on the offensive side of 422 00:22:03,600 --> 00:22:07,080 Speaker 6: the ball, it's just two Mahomes relyingt I mean, think 423 00:22:07,119 --> 00:22:07,880 Speaker 6: about last night. 424 00:22:07,960 --> 00:22:09,000 Speaker 3: Most of the plays that. 425 00:22:09,040 --> 00:22:12,360 Speaker 6: Happen are him making magic, and they's just not enough 426 00:22:12,359 --> 00:22:16,200 Speaker 6: of a systematical destruction of a defense on the other 427 00:22:16,240 --> 00:22:16,760 Speaker 6: side of the ball. 428 00:22:16,840 --> 00:22:17,960 Speaker 3: So that would be my two cents. 429 00:22:18,040 --> 00:22:19,720 Speaker 1: Dan, I start to. 430 00:22:19,720 --> 00:22:22,680 Speaker 2: Look at the AFC. You don't have Lamar Jackson, probably 431 00:22:23,280 --> 00:22:26,160 Speaker 2: you're not gonna have Joe Burrow, or you're not gonna 432 00:22:26,200 --> 00:22:28,159 Speaker 2: have Patrick Mahomes in there. You start to look at 433 00:22:28,160 --> 00:22:31,679 Speaker 2: all these marquee quarterbacks in the AFC, and this opens 434 00:22:31,720 --> 00:22:35,159 Speaker 2: the door for Josh Allen, like, this is white. I 435 00:22:35,200 --> 00:22:38,240 Speaker 2: know Buffalo is not great, but if I'm Josh Allen, 436 00:22:38,800 --> 00:22:42,199 Speaker 2: I got no excuses now I should be getting to 437 00:22:42,240 --> 00:22:42,920 Speaker 2: the Super Bowl. 438 00:22:43,359 --> 00:22:47,000 Speaker 6: Well yeah, I mean yes, I think you look at 439 00:22:47,040 --> 00:22:50,320 Speaker 6: it at just its base like that premises right there. Sure, 440 00:22:51,080 --> 00:22:53,240 Speaker 6: but have you seen Buffalo's defense? 441 00:22:53,400 --> 00:22:53,640 Speaker 3: Yes? 442 00:22:53,760 --> 00:22:57,080 Speaker 6: No, me neither, Right, we're waiting to see it. So yeah, 443 00:22:57,359 --> 00:22:59,160 Speaker 6: that's an issue. You know, I say all the time, 444 00:22:59,160 --> 00:23:01,320 Speaker 6: we're watching the modern day John Elway to me and 445 00:23:01,520 --> 00:23:03,639 Speaker 6: it's like the eighties Broncos where you're like, the team's 446 00:23:03,680 --> 00:23:06,240 Speaker 6: really not that good, but oh my gosh, this guy 447 00:23:06,240 --> 00:23:09,159 Speaker 6: makes unbelievable plays every game and every big moment and 448 00:23:09,200 --> 00:23:12,239 Speaker 6: they win and then he falls victim to well, they 449 00:23:12,280 --> 00:23:14,720 Speaker 6: didn't win in the playoffs, is Josh Allen? It's like, well, 450 00:23:14,720 --> 00:23:17,280 Speaker 6: he can't do everything all the time. I mean, again, 451 00:23:17,560 --> 00:23:20,800 Speaker 6: that's another game, even to another level of mahomes. Go 452 00:23:20,880 --> 00:23:23,720 Speaker 6: back and watch the highlights. I mean, it's fourteen to 453 00:23:23,800 --> 00:23:26,040 Speaker 6: three in the second quarter, it's fourth and seven, and 454 00:23:26,080 --> 00:23:28,399 Speaker 6: they're already like, we're gonna lose if we don't go 455 00:23:28,520 --> 00:23:30,840 Speaker 6: for it right here, Josh Allen. And then he runs 456 00:23:30,880 --> 00:23:34,920 Speaker 6: around for seven seconds and finds a completion. So he's unbelievable. 457 00:23:34,960 --> 00:23:37,560 Speaker 6: He's one of the greatest quarterbacks I've ever seen. Really, 458 00:23:37,600 --> 00:23:41,120 Speaker 6: he really is. But one man can't win the Super Bowl. 459 00:23:41,160 --> 00:23:43,640 Speaker 6: You need a team. And that's what you worry about Buffalo. 460 00:23:43,840 --> 00:23:47,080 Speaker 6: They're not real great at receiver, the defense is very average. 461 00:23:47,400 --> 00:23:49,920 Speaker 6: If the run game doesn't work, there's nothing else that 462 00:23:50,040 --> 00:23:52,040 Speaker 6: helps Josh Allen. And that's what I worry about with 463 00:23:52,080 --> 00:23:53,160 Speaker 6: Buffalo and the AFC. 464 00:23:53,280 --> 00:23:55,199 Speaker 2: Yeah, when I'm watching Football Night in America and you 465 00:23:55,200 --> 00:23:58,040 Speaker 2: brought up to John Elway comparison, I said, that's apt 466 00:23:58,240 --> 00:24:03,119 Speaker 2: because thank you was dragging that Denver offense to super 467 00:24:03,200 --> 00:24:08,000 Speaker 2: Bowls and then they realized that that defense wasn't as good. 468 00:24:08,160 --> 00:24:10,160 Speaker 3: They got burnt out all of those shit. 469 00:24:10,000 --> 00:24:12,280 Speaker 6: And he took all the flat right, Oh, John Olway 470 00:24:12,280 --> 00:24:14,280 Speaker 6: can't win the big game. John Holway can't win the 471 00:24:14,280 --> 00:24:16,639 Speaker 6: big game. And that's where he's so great. No other 472 00:24:16,720 --> 00:24:18,760 Speaker 6: quarterback in football could have gone the Super Bowl with 473 00:24:18,800 --> 00:24:19,600 Speaker 6: some of those teams. 474 00:24:19,880 --> 00:24:22,000 Speaker 3: That's how good he is. But you know, New. 475 00:24:21,960 --> 00:24:25,080 Speaker 6: England's a complete team in the AFC Denver. We know 476 00:24:25,160 --> 00:24:27,840 Speaker 6: the offense is just okay, but that defense is a 477 00:24:27,880 --> 00:24:30,480 Speaker 6: super Bowl defense. And the team that I'll continue to 478 00:24:30,520 --> 00:24:32,920 Speaker 6: say to watch out for is the team you saw 479 00:24:33,040 --> 00:24:33,520 Speaker 6: last night. 480 00:24:34,000 --> 00:24:36,359 Speaker 3: Houston could win and go to the super Bowl. 481 00:24:36,680 --> 00:24:39,359 Speaker 6: Houston, if their offense is just average, they have a 482 00:24:39,560 --> 00:24:44,840 Speaker 6: super Bowl twenty fifteen Broncos twenty thirteen Seahawks type of 483 00:24:44,880 --> 00:24:49,120 Speaker 6: defense where don't be shocked for sitting their AFC championship Sunday, 484 00:24:49,280 --> 00:24:50,919 Speaker 6: and the Houston Texans are in it if they can 485 00:24:50,920 --> 00:24:51,680 Speaker 6: get in the playoffs. 486 00:24:51,720 --> 00:24:54,119 Speaker 2: Here, when I'm watching the Ravens and they get the 487 00:24:54,200 --> 00:24:59,760 Speaker 2: touchdown reception, it's called a touchdown, and then even the 488 00:25:00,040 --> 00:25:03,439 Speaker 2: broadcasters thought that it was a touchdown. I thought it 489 00:25:03,480 --> 00:25:08,640 Speaker 2: was you have the ball and you take two steps. 490 00:25:09,359 --> 00:25:12,040 Speaker 2: Now I then realize after the fact when they said 491 00:25:12,040 --> 00:25:15,199 Speaker 2: it's on a touchdown, now it's three steps when you 492 00:25:15,240 --> 00:25:17,200 Speaker 2: catch the ball well. 493 00:25:17,040 --> 00:25:19,560 Speaker 6: Yes, it's three steps, but it doesn't have to be 494 00:25:19,600 --> 00:25:20,240 Speaker 6: three steps. 495 00:25:20,280 --> 00:25:23,120 Speaker 3: It can be two steps and an act commonly known 496 00:25:23,200 --> 00:25:24,120 Speaker 3: as a football move. 497 00:25:24,240 --> 00:25:28,359 Speaker 6: Right, and he catches the ball and extends it like this, 498 00:25:28,560 --> 00:25:30,399 Speaker 6: right off the back because he knows, oh no, this 499 00:25:30,400 --> 00:25:32,360 Speaker 6: guy's going to try to reach and knock the ball 500 00:25:32,440 --> 00:25:35,760 Speaker 6: in my hand. He takes two giant steps and is 501 00:25:35,800 --> 00:25:38,480 Speaker 6: a millimeter away from the third step, hitting the ground 502 00:25:38,520 --> 00:25:41,080 Speaker 6: right a millimeter like to where like, ooh, the decrete 503 00:25:41,160 --> 00:25:43,639 Speaker 6: touched the ground. I'm not sure. Now he's not going 504 00:25:43,720 --> 00:25:45,879 Speaker 6: to turn up field. He's in the end zone. And 505 00:25:45,920 --> 00:25:50,200 Speaker 6: this is where we're lacking common sense at refereeing. Right now, 506 00:25:50,359 --> 00:25:53,360 Speaker 6: you saw it live, you thought it was a touchdown, right, 507 00:25:53,720 --> 00:25:56,040 Speaker 6: that was enough, and then on top of that, it 508 00:25:56,080 --> 00:25:59,679 Speaker 6: was called a touchdown. And to me, this doing this 509 00:26:00,040 --> 00:26:02,480 Speaker 6: stending the ball was a football move. Along with the 510 00:26:02,680 --> 00:26:05,080 Speaker 6: two and three quarter steps he took. There were some 511 00:26:05,160 --> 00:26:08,320 Speaker 6: questionable calls in that football game last time I checked. 512 00:26:08,320 --> 00:26:09,679 Speaker 6: When you have to catch a ball, you have to 513 00:26:09,720 --> 00:26:12,880 Speaker 6: survive the ground. Watching at a normal speed, Aaron Rodgers 514 00:26:12,880 --> 00:26:14,919 Speaker 6: with the ball trapped on top of his helmet, and 515 00:26:14,960 --> 00:26:16,880 Speaker 6: the other guy has two hands on the ball too, 516 00:26:17,119 --> 00:26:19,000 Speaker 6: and we're going to say he caught the ball, even 517 00:26:19,000 --> 00:26:21,480 Speaker 6: though the process of the ball and catching the ball 518 00:26:21,560 --> 00:26:24,840 Speaker 6: is not complete until you survive the ground and stand 519 00:26:24,920 --> 00:26:25,560 Speaker 6: up with the ball. 520 00:26:25,640 --> 00:26:26,920 Speaker 3: That makes no sense. 521 00:26:26,960 --> 00:26:29,240 Speaker 6: So yeah, Baltimore kind of got screwed over yesterday and 522 00:26:29,280 --> 00:26:30,160 Speaker 6: that one, that's for sure. 523 00:26:30,240 --> 00:26:34,480 Speaker 2: Okay, does this quiet down the Mike Tomlin situation in 524 00:26:34,520 --> 00:26:36,000 Speaker 2: Pittsburgh at all in your opinion? 525 00:26:36,359 --> 00:26:36,439 Speaker 6: Not? 526 00:26:36,640 --> 00:26:38,960 Speaker 3: Right? I mean for now for a few days. 527 00:26:39,000 --> 00:26:41,800 Speaker 6: But they're still going to be judged by how this 528 00:26:41,960 --> 00:26:44,440 Speaker 6: ends and what it looks like here down the stretch. 529 00:26:44,640 --> 00:26:46,640 Speaker 2: Okay, let me ask you what Yeah, all right, Yeah, 530 00:26:46,640 --> 00:26:47,600 Speaker 2: here's a tough question. 531 00:26:48,080 --> 00:26:48,280 Speaker 7: Right. 532 00:26:48,320 --> 00:26:51,680 Speaker 2: You're a Steeler fan, and I say, you can make 533 00:26:51,720 --> 00:26:57,280 Speaker 2: the playoffs, squeak in, but you won't win a playoff game, 534 00:26:58,280 --> 00:27:02,880 Speaker 2: or you don't win, you don't make the playoffs, and 535 00:27:02,920 --> 00:27:04,120 Speaker 2: then the fallout from that. 536 00:27:04,880 --> 00:27:07,280 Speaker 6: I think that's what they want right now, right right? 537 00:27:07,320 --> 00:27:10,359 Speaker 6: I think they want to change. I think they want change. Yes, 538 00:27:10,480 --> 00:27:13,159 Speaker 6: just you know, even being there during the Green Bays 539 00:27:13,280 --> 00:27:16,480 Speaker 6: Pittsburgh Steelers game on Sunday Night Football a few weeks ago, 540 00:27:16,600 --> 00:27:20,439 Speaker 6: right being there, you could tell the fan base is 541 00:27:20,920 --> 00:27:25,000 Speaker 6: annoyed with Tomlin and annoyed with the Steelers. So there 542 00:27:25,080 --> 00:27:28,160 Speaker 6: is something there, and I understand it. I understand. Hey, 543 00:27:28,400 --> 00:27:30,200 Speaker 6: I've said a lot. It might be like Andy Reid 544 00:27:30,240 --> 00:27:32,159 Speaker 6: and the Philadelphia Eagles. A time comes where it's just 545 00:27:32,240 --> 00:27:33,919 Speaker 6: run its course and it's time for everybody to get 546 00:27:33,960 --> 00:27:36,960 Speaker 6: a fresh new start. I would love if they fired him. 547 00:27:37,000 --> 00:27:38,879 Speaker 6: I would love it because I want the Giants to 548 00:27:38,880 --> 00:27:41,480 Speaker 6: get Mike Tomlin. That's what I would want, So please 549 00:27:41,560 --> 00:27:43,439 Speaker 6: do that, all right? But yeah, I don't you know, 550 00:27:43,720 --> 00:27:46,280 Speaker 6: Pittsburgh is one of those teams where you go, okay, 551 00:27:46,320 --> 00:27:48,560 Speaker 6: I mean, yeah, if they're in the playoffs, But I 552 00:27:48,560 --> 00:27:50,119 Speaker 6: don't know if I really want to see them in 553 00:27:50,119 --> 00:27:50,800 Speaker 6: the playoffs. 554 00:27:51,040 --> 00:27:52,679 Speaker 3: And they don't make me feel a whole lot. 555 00:27:52,520 --> 00:27:54,560 Speaker 6: Better with the way they played yesterday to just go, 556 00:27:54,640 --> 00:27:57,040 Speaker 6: oh yeah, they're fixing things and here they go on 557 00:27:57,080 --> 00:27:58,399 Speaker 6: the road to recovery. 558 00:28:00,960 --> 00:28:04,400 Speaker 3: Buccaneers losing, I mean, could Carolina win the division? 559 00:28:05,040 --> 00:28:07,840 Speaker 6: I mean, I don't expect it. If you're gonna make 560 00:28:07,880 --> 00:28:09,959 Speaker 6: me bet money, I'm still gonna bet on the Buccaneers. 561 00:28:09,960 --> 00:28:11,800 Speaker 6: I do think the weather helped them, yeah, I mean 562 00:28:11,920 --> 00:28:15,000 Speaker 6: hurt them yesterday. The Bucks have to win with their offense. 563 00:28:15,080 --> 00:28:17,960 Speaker 6: Their defense is just not very good. And it can't 564 00:28:17,960 --> 00:28:21,520 Speaker 6: make big stops in big moments. So they need That's 565 00:28:21,560 --> 00:28:24,960 Speaker 6: where you know, Bucky Irvin being back, Chris Godwin being back, 566 00:28:25,000 --> 00:28:28,200 Speaker 6: maybe they can get Mike Evans back, and Mika Buka's 567 00:28:28,280 --> 00:28:30,399 Speaker 6: kind of, you know, falling by the wayside here a 568 00:28:30,440 --> 00:28:32,800 Speaker 6: little bit here. So but they need. They're gonna have 569 00:28:32,800 --> 00:28:35,160 Speaker 6: to win shootouts. That's the kind of football team they are. 570 00:28:35,200 --> 00:28:37,520 Speaker 6: And I think the weather yesterday hurt them. And then 571 00:28:37,680 --> 00:28:40,240 Speaker 6: Tyler Shuck is showing that he's gonna give the Saints 572 00:28:40,240 --> 00:28:42,600 Speaker 6: some things to think about in the offseason, whether they 573 00:28:42,600 --> 00:28:44,280 Speaker 6: want to draft a quarterback or stay with him as 574 00:28:44,280 --> 00:28:44,600 Speaker 6: a starter. 575 00:28:44,880 --> 00:28:47,719 Speaker 2: Talking to Chris Sims, Pro Football Talk Live co host, 576 00:28:48,240 --> 00:28:50,440 Speaker 2: you guys, get the Vikings and the Cowboys. 577 00:28:53,200 --> 00:28:54,880 Speaker 3: Yeah, I think that's what we got this week. 578 00:28:54,960 --> 00:28:55,120 Speaker 4: Yeah. 579 00:28:55,120 --> 00:28:56,840 Speaker 6: I'm not even there yet, Yeah, but I think that's 580 00:28:56,840 --> 00:28:58,680 Speaker 6: what we got, right, You're right. 581 00:28:59,600 --> 00:29:04,800 Speaker 2: Okay, Vikings got a nice win. JJ McCarthy look good. Yes, 582 00:29:04,920 --> 00:29:09,360 Speaker 2: I'm still not sure about him. No, No, And it's. 583 00:29:09,160 --> 00:29:10,960 Speaker 6: Still early though, and I think we all have to 584 00:29:11,040 --> 00:29:13,920 Speaker 6: kind of remind ourselves of that isn't a tough spot. 585 00:29:14,000 --> 00:29:16,120 Speaker 6: There's things he's got to work on. There's no doubt 586 00:29:16,160 --> 00:29:18,680 Speaker 6: about that. They can help him out a little bit too, 587 00:29:18,960 --> 00:29:20,520 Speaker 6: you know, they can become a little bit better of 588 00:29:20,520 --> 00:29:23,480 Speaker 6: a running football team. But his big thing is he 589 00:29:23,560 --> 00:29:26,320 Speaker 6: needs to develop more variety of throws. I'm sure you've 590 00:29:26,320 --> 00:29:29,240 Speaker 6: heard that enough now, right, It's the same throw every time, 591 00:29:29,280 --> 00:29:31,440 Speaker 6: there's just not enough clubs in the bag. And then 592 00:29:31,480 --> 00:29:34,120 Speaker 6: he's got to stay healthy so he can kind of 593 00:29:34,200 --> 00:29:37,400 Speaker 6: lay down the train, the framework right to get better 594 00:29:37,440 --> 00:29:39,080 Speaker 6: week in and leak out. Every time he kind of 595 00:29:39,120 --> 00:29:41,760 Speaker 6: gets going, something happens as he misses a week or 596 00:29:41,760 --> 00:29:44,360 Speaker 6: two of practice and can't play, and that's been a 597 00:29:44,360 --> 00:29:47,120 Speaker 6: big issue too. But I know this is going to 598 00:29:47,160 --> 00:29:49,920 Speaker 6: be an important last four weeks here to see JJ 599 00:29:50,040 --> 00:29:53,000 Speaker 6: McCarthy and whether he can solidify himself as the starter there. 600 00:29:53,720 --> 00:29:56,760 Speaker 2: The Browns announced Deshaun Watson is going to come back 601 00:29:56,880 --> 00:30:01,680 Speaker 2: next year. But you do have Shador Sanders who played 602 00:30:01,720 --> 00:30:05,640 Speaker 2: really well Tennessee. But he played really he played well, 603 00:30:05,840 --> 00:30:07,400 Speaker 2: he made some big plays. 604 00:30:07,800 --> 00:30:08,600 Speaker 3: I agree. 605 00:30:08,800 --> 00:30:13,120 Speaker 6: Sad enough though, Yeah, I don't know if I've seen 606 00:30:13,240 --> 00:30:15,680 Speaker 6: enough right. I would want to see more, but I'm 607 00:30:15,720 --> 00:30:17,760 Speaker 6: seeing things I like. But you're gonna have a top 608 00:30:17,840 --> 00:30:22,200 Speaker 6: four draft pick, right, I know they're they're set up right, 609 00:30:22,200 --> 00:30:25,480 Speaker 6: they're gonna They made that trade with Jacksonville so they 610 00:30:25,480 --> 00:30:28,000 Speaker 6: could go get Travis Hutter, So they got some picks 611 00:30:28,040 --> 00:30:30,120 Speaker 6: and they got some things on their team. We know 612 00:30:30,200 --> 00:30:33,360 Speaker 6: that defense is special. They can add just a little. 613 00:30:33,640 --> 00:30:35,880 Speaker 6: So few playmakers on the offensive side of the ball. 614 00:30:35,920 --> 00:30:36,040 Speaker 2: You go. 615 00:30:36,160 --> 00:30:39,560 Speaker 6: Cleveland's not that far off. And Shador Sanders, as you see, 616 00:30:39,840 --> 00:30:42,840 Speaker 6: plays big in the pocket, got a strong arm, has 617 00:30:42,880 --> 00:30:45,880 Speaker 6: a pretty good feel for the game. He really does. 618 00:30:46,440 --> 00:30:48,840 Speaker 6: He's in an interception yesterday. Okay, he's a rookie. That 619 00:30:48,880 --> 00:30:50,560 Speaker 6: was a battery seven. For the most part, though, he's 620 00:30:50,600 --> 00:30:53,160 Speaker 6: understood that his team's a defensive team. He's taking care 621 00:30:53,160 --> 00:30:56,000 Speaker 6: of the ball and he kind of pushed the envelope 622 00:30:56,040 --> 00:30:58,360 Speaker 6: when he needed to yesterday. And Tennessee defense is better 623 00:30:58,400 --> 00:31:00,640 Speaker 6: than people realize. It's just their offense is so bad 624 00:31:00,640 --> 00:31:03,000 Speaker 6: it makes their defense look bad at times. But yeah, 625 00:31:03,080 --> 00:31:06,520 Speaker 6: I'm here. He's gonna put the pressure on the Browns organization. 626 00:31:06,600 --> 00:31:08,520 Speaker 6: About this quarterback conversation. 627 00:31:08,200 --> 00:31:12,160 Speaker 3: Do you think Deshaun Watson plays again? I don't think so. 628 00:31:12,280 --> 00:31:15,160 Speaker 3: For Cleveland. I don't expect that. I you know, I 629 00:31:15,200 --> 00:31:16,600 Speaker 3: know they they said. 630 00:31:16,400 --> 00:31:19,280 Speaker 6: That he'd be back and all that, but if I 631 00:31:19,320 --> 00:31:22,040 Speaker 6: remember correctly, they can kind of get out of the 632 00:31:22,080 --> 00:31:25,080 Speaker 6: deal after you know this year, this offseason, they'll have 633 00:31:25,120 --> 00:31:26,720 Speaker 6: to pay a little bit of a you know, dead 634 00:31:26,760 --> 00:31:29,520 Speaker 6: money fine there, But all in all, no, I think 635 00:31:29,560 --> 00:31:32,680 Speaker 6: the Cleveland Brown Deshaun Watson thing is over. It's run 636 00:31:32,680 --> 00:31:34,480 Speaker 6: its course, and I don't even know why you'd want 637 00:31:34,480 --> 00:31:35,480 Speaker 6: to flirt with it anymore. 638 00:31:35,600 --> 00:31:37,840 Speaker 3: Right, just be done with it. It didn't work. 639 00:31:38,000 --> 00:31:40,960 Speaker 6: Move on, start a new era with Shador Sanders or 640 00:31:41,000 --> 00:31:42,000 Speaker 6: whoever they see fit. 641 00:31:43,120 --> 00:31:44,680 Speaker 2: Yeah, And you know, at the start of the year, 642 00:31:44,720 --> 00:31:47,520 Speaker 2: I said, I just hope that these you know, rookie 643 00:31:47,600 --> 00:31:50,480 Speaker 2: quarterbacks get a chance, like we get a good sample 644 00:31:50,560 --> 00:31:52,920 Speaker 2: size that we can go, Okay, that guy can, that 645 00:31:53,000 --> 00:31:56,200 Speaker 2: guy can. That guy's just starter, that guy's not. And 646 00:31:56,440 --> 00:31:59,000 Speaker 2: maybe we did that with Dylan Gabriel. They saw enough. 647 00:31:59,240 --> 00:32:02,120 Speaker 2: Shad Or Sanders is going to give them at least 648 00:32:02,120 --> 00:32:05,240 Speaker 2: a decision to make if they use one of their 649 00:32:05,280 --> 00:32:08,080 Speaker 2: top picks to take a quarterback. What would you do 650 00:32:08,200 --> 00:32:09,360 Speaker 2: if you're running the Browns. 651 00:32:09,600 --> 00:32:12,360 Speaker 6: Oh, That's where I'd want to see these last four 652 00:32:12,400 --> 00:32:15,360 Speaker 6: games a little bit. They got to protect themselves either way, 653 00:32:15,760 --> 00:32:18,480 Speaker 6: I would still, no matter what, bring in some sort 654 00:32:18,520 --> 00:32:20,960 Speaker 6: of veteran to go, hey, if it doesn't work with 655 00:32:21,000 --> 00:32:23,479 Speaker 6: Shador and Dylan Gabriel, we got a guy here that 656 00:32:23,520 --> 00:32:25,600 Speaker 6: we know we can put in and play. But I 657 00:32:25,640 --> 00:32:28,280 Speaker 6: certainly think Shador Sanders looks the part and plays the 658 00:32:28,320 --> 00:32:30,680 Speaker 6: part better than Dylan Gabriel. That's the one thing I'll 659 00:32:30,720 --> 00:32:34,400 Speaker 6: sit there and tell you for sure. Yesterday was definitely 660 00:32:34,480 --> 00:32:37,160 Speaker 6: a good building block. But yeah, before I'd make that call, 661 00:32:37,440 --> 00:32:40,040 Speaker 6: I think these last four games and how he continues 662 00:32:40,080 --> 00:32:43,040 Speaker 6: to kind of develop. The offense is expanding a little 663 00:32:43,080 --> 00:32:45,040 Speaker 6: week by week, so he's more in the trust trade. 664 00:32:45,200 --> 00:32:46,760 Speaker 6: Let's see where that goes. I'll give you a more 665 00:32:46,800 --> 00:32:49,800 Speaker 6: definitive answer. Like early January, you got the Eagles and 666 00:32:49,840 --> 00:32:54,080 Speaker 6: the Chargers. Tonight you got a better handle on which team. Well, 667 00:32:54,200 --> 00:32:57,880 Speaker 6: I feel like if the Eagles can't run the ball right, 668 00:32:57,920 --> 00:33:01,040 Speaker 6: which they, I mean, the history here this year tells 669 00:33:01,080 --> 00:33:03,040 Speaker 6: you they've run the ball good in one game. It 670 00:33:03,080 --> 00:33:05,800 Speaker 6: was the second time they played the Giants.

Just got the 722 00:35:50,680 --> 00:35:57,040 Speaker 2: updated Super Bowl odds and it's the Rams, the Rams 723 00:35:57,040 --> 00:36:00,160 Speaker 2: plus three to ninety. Then it's the Seahawks at plus 724 00:36:00,320 --> 00:36:03,600 Speaker 2: six point fifty. Then it's the Packers. So the three 725 00:36:03,680 --> 00:36:09,399 Speaker 2: best odds are in the NFC. Then it's the Bills, Patriots, Broncos, 726 00:36:10,160 --> 00:36:14,480 Speaker 2: and then you have Eagles, Texans and the Jaguars. Rams 727 00:36:14,480 --> 00:36:18,000 Speaker 2: made it look real easy. Matthew Stafford once again. I 728 00:36:18,000 --> 00:36:20,439 Speaker 2: mean it's going to be a showdown neck and neck 729 00:36:20,920 --> 00:36:24,480 Speaker 2: with Drake May and Matthew Stafford. That's the seventh game 730 00:36:24,560 --> 00:36:27,880 Speaker 2: this season. Stafford has had at least three touchdown passes 731 00:36:27,920 --> 00:36:32,719 Speaker 2: and no interceptions. Fourth quarterback in NFL history to have 732 00:36:32,840 --> 00:36:36,560 Speaker 2: at least seven games in a single season. Tom Brady 733 00:36:36,600 --> 00:36:40,040 Speaker 2: did it, Peyton Manning did it. Aaron Rodgers did it 734 00:36:40,440 --> 00:36:44,839 Speaker 2: three times. Also, Josh Allen passed for three touchdowns who 735 00:36:44,960 --> 00:36:47,840 Speaker 2: ran for another. He's the first player in NFL history 736 00:36:47,840 --> 00:36:51,560 Speaker 2: to have fifty career games with at least a rushing 737 00:36:51,680 --> 00:37:07,160 Speaker 2: in a passing touchdown. When he runs, I feel different 738 00:37:07,239 --> 00:37:10,480 Speaker 2: than when Jackson Dart runs or anybody else. I mean 739 00:37:10,560 --> 00:37:14,800 Speaker 2: Lamar Jackson. When Lamar Jackson was running, I felt like, okay, 740 00:37:15,400 --> 00:37:19,840 Speaker 2: he'll find a safe haven there. When Josh Allen's running, 741 00:37:20,080 --> 00:37:22,799 Speaker 2: it feels like the defensive backs are going, oh man, 742 00:37:22,840 --> 00:37:25,600 Speaker 2: I got to make a business decision here. But he 743 00:37:25,680 --> 00:37:29,200 Speaker 2: took off for forty yards and that's not a good 744 00:37:29,480 --> 00:37:33,000 Speaker 2: I mean they're a good team, they're not a great team. 745 00:37:33,320 --> 00:37:36,000 Speaker 2: This is how it sounded when Josh Allen took off 746 00:37:36,040 --> 00:37:36,920 Speaker 2: for forty yards. 747 00:37:37,760 --> 00:37:40,000 Speaker 3: Here's the staff back to pass blitz coming. 748 00:37:40,040 --> 00:37:43,239 Speaker 6: Alan steps up in the pocket, forty thirty down to 749 00:37:43,280 --> 00:37:47,319 Speaker 6: the twenty. Alan looking for the zone and he's in for. 750 00:37:47,360 --> 00:37:53,760 Speaker 3: A forty yard touchdown. Rep The Beast has been released. 751 00:37:54,400 --> 00:37:58,480 Speaker 2: Bill's Radio Network with Josh Allen. You knew who was 752 00:37:58,520 --> 00:38:03,480 Speaker 2: a beast yesterday, Phoka Nakua. I think he averaged like 753 00:38:03,520 --> 00:38:06,920 Speaker 2: twenty three and a half yards per reception. Here's Sean McVay, 754 00:38:07,040 --> 00:38:09,080 Speaker 2: the Rams head coach, on his star receiver. 755 00:38:10,239 --> 00:38:11,080 Speaker 3: He's outstanding. 756 00:38:11,160 --> 00:38:12,440 Speaker 6: You know, he was great. 757 00:38:12,719 --> 00:38:14,640 Speaker 1: I thought the two big in cuts that he caught 758 00:38:14,640 --> 00:38:16,760 Speaker 1: early on in the game on back to back plays 759 00:38:16,760 --> 00:38:19,400 Speaker 1: were big. You know, they really got us going. 760 00:38:20,040 --> 00:38:22,080 Speaker 3: And he's you know, to be able to win on 761 00:38:22,120 --> 00:38:22,799 Speaker 3: the double move. 762 00:38:23,400 --> 00:38:25,279 Speaker 9: Some of the catches that he's making where you know, 763 00:38:25,600 --> 00:38:28,000 Speaker 9: it's a contested catch, but then he's pulling guys. 764 00:38:27,760 --> 00:38:29,160 Speaker 3: In to be able to score. 765 00:38:29,239 --> 00:38:30,680 Speaker 6: He's a freaking stud love Pooka. 766 00:38:31,120 --> 00:38:35,319 Speaker 2: He is, he is, you know, he's He reminds me 767 00:38:35,400 --> 00:38:37,759 Speaker 2: of a modern day Jerry Rice from the standpoint of 768 00:38:38,239 --> 00:38:42,000 Speaker 2: just the standpoint of he doesn't look fast, but he's 769 00:38:42,040 --> 00:38:46,319 Speaker 2: always fast enough. Jerry Rice never looked fast, but he 770 00:38:46,520 --> 00:38:49,640 Speaker 2: was all you didn't catch him, and you go back 771 00:38:49,680 --> 00:38:51,760 Speaker 2: to the combine where he ran a four to six. 772 00:38:52,360 --> 00:38:55,360 Speaker 2: You know, there's track speed and then there's football speed. 773 00:38:55,440 --> 00:38:58,720 Speaker 2: And I always thought Jerry Rice had great football speed. 774 00:38:59,480 --> 00:39:03,960 Speaker 2: And Knacuah same way, big guy, but it just feels 775 00:39:04,000 --> 00:39:08,200 Speaker 2: like he's faster than you think he is. James in Virginia, 776 00:39:08,360 --> 00:39:13,520 Speaker 2: Oh how about those commanders, James, thank. 777 00:39:13,360 --> 00:39:16,440 Speaker 7: You for taking my call. But other happy Monday, DP, 778 00:39:16,800 --> 00:39:20,440 Speaker 7: Dan that salute the commanders. Wow, DP. When I called 779 00:39:20,480 --> 00:39:23,120 Speaker 7: you back after Week five and Washington was three and 780 00:39:23,160 --> 00:39:26,080 Speaker 7: two with a big victory over the San Diego Chargers 781 00:39:26,400 --> 00:39:29,960 Speaker 7: coming home to play the Chicago Bears in seven straight 782 00:39:30,360 --> 00:39:33,719 Speaker 7: prime time or standalone games game of the weeks. I 783 00:39:33,800 --> 00:39:37,120 Speaker 7: had no idea that they were going to drop eight 784 00:39:37,320 --> 00:39:40,680 Speaker 7: straight games and thirty one and nothing against the Minnesota 785 00:39:40,760 --> 00:39:44,120 Speaker 7: Vikings was very tough to watch. My wife was like, 786 00:39:44,160 --> 00:39:46,840 Speaker 7: what's wrong, and I was like, just look at the tv, babe. 787 00:39:46,880 --> 00:39:49,680 Speaker 7: She's like, oh man, oh yeah, Man. It's a tough 788 00:39:49,719 --> 00:39:53,560 Speaker 7: year for Washington seeing Jayden get knocked out again, man, 789 00:39:53,640 --> 00:39:55,120 Speaker 7: and you just hope that he can make it through 790 00:39:55,120 --> 00:39:57,000 Speaker 7: the year and they can figure it out in the 791 00:39:57,040 --> 00:40:00,239 Speaker 7: off season. Man. But for me, Man yesterday, I think 792 00:40:00,280 --> 00:40:01,040 Speaker 7: you hit it on the head. 793 00:40:01,120 --> 00:40:01,359 Speaker 3: DP. 794 00:40:01,840 --> 00:40:05,160 Speaker 7: The Buffalo Bills is definitely got to be looking at 795 00:40:05,200 --> 00:40:08,080 Speaker 7: it as this is their year to go to the 796 00:40:08,120 --> 00:40:11,120 Speaker 7: Super Bowl and win it. I think the Houston text means, 797 00:40:11,160 --> 00:40:12,960 Speaker 7: like I said last week, are definitely gonna be a 798 00:40:12,960 --> 00:40:15,440 Speaker 7: tough out. But I don't know offensively if they can 799 00:40:16,880 --> 00:40:19,880 Speaker 7: make a super deep playoff run. But that defense is 800 00:40:19,880 --> 00:40:23,840 Speaker 7: certainly something amazing. And in the NFC, a team that 801 00:40:23,960 --> 00:40:27,400 Speaker 7: surprised me yesterday the Chicago Bears. They did not play 802 00:40:27,440 --> 00:40:30,640 Speaker 7: their best game by no means. Caleb Williams was not 803 00:40:30,800 --> 00:40:33,360 Speaker 7: on point at all, but yet at the end of 804 00:40:33,360 --> 00:40:35,480 Speaker 7: the game, they were right there with a chance to 805 00:40:35,520 --> 00:40:37,840 Speaker 7: tie and send it into overtime. And if he just 806 00:40:37,960 --> 00:40:41,719 Speaker 7: waits one more beat, DJ Morrik's coming wide open with 807 00:40:41,800 --> 00:40:44,760 Speaker 7: a clear path to the end zone. So I'm excited 808 00:40:44,800 --> 00:40:47,239 Speaker 7: to see what Chicago can do. But like I said, man, 809 00:40:47,440 --> 00:40:48,400 Speaker 7: let's go Niners. 810 00:40:48,400 --> 00:40:51,680 Speaker 2: Man, all right, thank you, James.
