Speaker 1: Mark three games left.

13
00:01:00,080 --> 00:01:03,000
Speaker 2: Yeah, And I think like that announcement alone by you

14
00:01:04,080 --> 00:01:09,280
Speaker 2: is a very crystallized irritant to four fan bases who

15
00:01:09,280 --> 00:01:11,920
Speaker 2: did not survive this weekend. But I really don't know

16
00:01:11,959 --> 00:01:14,520
Speaker 2: if any of them can be put above what Buffalo's

17
00:01:14,520 --> 00:01:16,440
Speaker 2: fan base has been through. We sat down and watched

18
00:01:16,440 --> 00:01:21,319
Speaker 2: this game together for hours, and I don't know sometimes

19
00:01:21,319 --> 00:01:23,440
Speaker 2: if there are football gods or whatever is sitting up

20
00:01:23,440 --> 00:01:27,160
Speaker 2: there controlling all of this. The puppet masters, man, they

21
00:01:27,200 --> 00:01:28,480
Speaker 2: have a sixth sense of humor.

22
00:01:28,520 --> 00:01:30,760
Speaker 3: It's the it's the beautiful part of doing this show

23
00:01:31,400 --> 00:01:33,679
Speaker 3: that we will get to all four games, that every

24
00:01:33,680 --> 00:01:36,200
Speaker 3: winner loser, like you all get your due. And yet

25
00:01:36,280 --> 00:01:39,880
Speaker 3: it's hard not to just feel overwhelmed by the enormity

26
00:01:39,920 --> 00:01:42,240
Speaker 3: of this Bill's Chiefs game. It's right before we tape

27
00:01:42,280 --> 00:01:44,280
Speaker 3: and it's Josh Allen, it's Patrick Mahomes. It's a game

28
00:01:44,280 --> 00:01:46,039
Speaker 3: we've been building up to for four years, and in

29
00:01:46,080 --> 00:01:48,240
Speaker 3: some ways it was so different and then the ending

30
00:01:48,360 --> 00:01:50,880
Speaker 3: being so similar. The only difference is we got a

31
00:01:50,880 --> 00:01:55,480
Speaker 3: Bills fan with tears, you know, covering himself up. Eric

32
00:01:55,520 --> 00:01:57,840
Speaker 3: didn't want to now that I wasn't talking Eric instead

33
00:01:57,840 --> 00:01:59,880
Speaker 3: of like Chiefs fans with happy tears.

34
00:02:00,120 --> 00:02:02,800
Speaker 4: Guy and the telecasts. Yes, but Eric's probably crying as well,

35
00:02:02,840 --> 00:02:04,200
Speaker 4: although he's a very strong man.

36
00:02:05,840 --> 00:02:09,679
Speaker 1: Yeah, I thought the Sunday games are you know, the

37
00:02:10,360 --> 00:02:14,720
Speaker 1: everyone is and rightfully so has been focused on Detroit,

38
00:02:14,800 --> 00:02:17,560
Speaker 1: the city of Detroit, the rise of the program under

39
00:02:17,639 --> 00:02:21,120
Speaker 1: Dan Campbell and how it's galvanized that whole area, and

40
00:02:21,120 --> 00:02:23,959
Speaker 1: how they're so easy to root for. I think from

41
00:02:23,960 --> 00:02:26,840
Speaker 1: a personal standpoint, it did have like, as we're starting

42
00:02:26,880 --> 00:02:28,840
Speaker 1: the show a little bit of a hangover because I've

43
00:02:28,880 --> 00:02:31,400
Speaker 1: always felt a bit of a kinship with the Bills

44
00:02:31,440 --> 00:02:34,440
Speaker 1: and their fans in the AFC East, and this feeling

45
00:02:34,480 --> 00:02:36,120
Speaker 1: that when is it going to be your turn to

46
00:02:36,120 --> 00:02:38,600
Speaker 1: get over the hump? And there are so many moments

47
00:02:38,880 --> 00:02:40,880
Speaker 1: in the game you're about to talk to talk about

48
00:02:41,080 --> 00:02:44,280
Speaker 1: where it felt like this was different than other Bills teams,

49
00:02:44,520 --> 00:02:45,040
Speaker 1: and yet it was.

50
00:02:45,600 --> 00:02:48,400
Speaker 2: It's distinctly different than the other games too, because I

51
00:02:48,440 --> 00:02:51,600
Speaker 2: think if you're a Texans fan or a Packers fan,

52
00:02:52,000 --> 00:02:53,880
Speaker 2: there's a little bit of house money going on there

53
00:02:53,919 --> 00:02:56,200
Speaker 2: and there's hope for the future. It's like you're surprised

54
00:02:56,240 --> 00:02:59,440
Speaker 2: almost to be here on some level. Tampa Bay. Similar

55
00:02:59,639 --> 00:03:01,960
Speaker 2: one back to Tampa Bay to go deep into the playoffs.

56
00:03:02,120 --> 00:03:06,639
Speaker 2: The Bills came in with immense expectations, immense pressure, and

57
00:03:06,720 --> 00:03:09,840
Speaker 2: the carpet was rolled out for them to finally do

58
00:03:09,919 --> 00:03:12,800
Speaker 2: it this time around, to host the Chiefs in Buffalo,

59
00:03:13,280 --> 00:03:16,040
Speaker 2: and the fate could not be more cruel, and I think,

60
00:03:16,080 --> 00:03:18,079
Speaker 2: and I don't know, I feel like there's a weight

61
00:03:18,919 --> 00:03:20,760
Speaker 2: to all of it. I feel exhausted and.

62
00:03:21,919 --> 00:03:25,679
Speaker 1: Look at the crowd, people literally emotional to the state

63
00:03:25,720 --> 00:03:28,320
Speaker 1: of tiers and that is the power of sport, the

64
00:03:28,360 --> 00:03:31,480
Speaker 1: power of the NFL, and the hole it has on

65
00:03:31,520 --> 00:03:33,120
Speaker 1: Western New York and really everywhere.

66
00:03:33,120 --> 00:03:34,280
Speaker 4: So let's get into it.

67
00:03:34,720 --> 00:03:38,520
Speaker 1: The problem for the Bills is that to get over

68
00:03:38,560 --> 00:03:41,360
Speaker 1: the hump, they had to beat the Chiefs.

69
00:03:41,520 --> 00:03:44,640
Speaker 4: And that's the team that they have.

70
00:03:44,760 --> 00:03:49,200
Speaker 1: Patrick Mahomes, that's a problem all right too.

71
00:03:50,000 --> 00:03:53,760
Speaker 4: Orchard Park Chiefs twenty seven Bills twenty four.

72
00:03:56,040 --> 00:03:58,760
Speaker 5: In the game, on fourth down and nine for the Buffalo,

73
00:03:59,200 --> 00:03:59,960
Speaker 5: place went down.

74
00:04:00,080 --> 00:04:03,160
Speaker 4: Bessest kick and the kick is.

75
00:04:03,240 --> 00:04:08,800
Speaker 5: Good, God, a little prophecy. Tyler Bass has struggled and

76
00:04:09,000 --> 00:04:11,960
Speaker 5: he just misses the kick, and the Chiefs will take

77
00:04:12,000 --> 00:04:15,760
Speaker 5: over at the point of the miskick their own thirty

78
00:04:15,760 --> 00:04:19,000
Speaker 5: four yard line is Tyler Bass misses this wide to

79
00:04:19,080 --> 00:04:19,480
Speaker 5: the right.

80
00:04:19,960 --> 00:04:23,400
Speaker 4: He missed. He skanked one wide to the left against

81
00:04:23,440 --> 00:04:26,240
Speaker 4: pet It and you just wonder on the over correction.

82
00:04:26,880 --> 00:04:31,200
Speaker 5: The Chiefs catch a break on a missfield goal by Buffalo.

83
00:04:31,960 --> 00:04:36,960
Speaker 4: Mitch Holt is rolling. Oh wow, little worse.

84
00:04:37,240 --> 00:04:40,960
Speaker 1: Worse, you guess you know what wdaf with the call.

85
00:04:42,640 --> 00:04:45,120
Speaker 1: I guess the cheeses are supposed to neatly move to

86
00:04:45,160 --> 00:04:49,320
Speaker 1: the side. This year bad year by their standards. Couldn't

87
00:04:49,320 --> 00:04:52,880
Speaker 1: get anything right. But then they flip a switch, as

88
00:04:52,920 --> 00:04:55,400
Speaker 1: the true great teams do, and they will drive you

89
00:04:55,520 --> 00:04:58,320
Speaker 1: crazy if you're sick of watching the Kansas City Chiefs,

90
00:04:58,360 --> 00:05:01,040
Speaker 1: but they don't care, just like the dynasty before him,

91
00:05:01,080 --> 00:05:04,800
Speaker 1: the Patriots, they didn't care either, as the Chiefs get

92
00:05:04,839 --> 00:05:08,240
Speaker 1: that the benefit obviously of a missed field goal there

93
00:05:08,240 --> 00:05:10,400
Speaker 1: by Tyler Bass the one that will live in infamy,

94
00:05:10,720 --> 00:05:12,800
Speaker 1: of course, not quite at the level of wide right

95
00:05:13,000 --> 00:05:19,480
Speaker 1: in January ninety one, but wide right in January of

96
00:05:19,560 --> 00:05:22,960
Speaker 1: twenty four is something that will stick with us and

97
00:05:23,120 --> 00:05:25,360
Speaker 1: She and Bill's Mafia Forever.

98
00:05:25,480 --> 00:05:28,080
Speaker 4: Final score twenty seven to twenty four.

99
00:05:28,760 --> 00:05:34,560
Speaker 1: The Chiefs advance to the AFC Championship Game for the sixth.

100
00:05:34,320 --> 00:05:35,600
Speaker 4: Sixth consecutive year.

101
00:05:36,640 --> 00:05:39,960
Speaker 1: Does anybody understand how difficult it is to get to

102
00:05:40,000 --> 00:05:42,800
Speaker 1: the AFC title game, To get to a conference championship

103
00:05:42,800 --> 00:05:44,720
Speaker 1: game six years in a row. I don't even care

104
00:05:44,720 --> 00:05:46,240
Speaker 1: if you don't win them all, just getting there. It's

105
00:05:46,279 --> 00:05:50,680
Speaker 1: so difficult. So the Chiefs use a big play offense

106
00:05:50,720 --> 00:05:54,040
Speaker 1: that has gone all season GREGI. They average nine yards

107
00:05:54,400 --> 00:05:57,039
Speaker 1: per play in this game, and the defense tightens up

108
00:05:57,080 --> 00:05:59,560
Speaker 1: in the back end of this game to take one

109
00:05:59,600 --> 00:06:01,160
Speaker 1: and rip the Hearts out of Buffalo.

110
00:06:01,360 --> 00:06:05,560
Speaker 3: I felt like these teams switched bodies all season, were

111
00:06:05,800 --> 00:06:09,000
Speaker 3: wasted our time apparently talking about how this Chiefs offense

112
00:06:09,000 --> 00:06:11,120
Speaker 3: they're never gonna get it together. And today they have

113
00:06:11,200 --> 00:06:13,320
Speaker 3: eight plays over twenty yards. They're moving the ball up

114
00:06:13,320 --> 00:06:15,560
Speaker 3: and down the field. I know they got fortunate with

115
00:06:15,600 --> 00:06:18,800
Speaker 3: that missfield goal, but let's be real, they were probably

116
00:06:18,800 --> 00:06:21,839
Speaker 3: the more consistent team. They had some breaks really go

117
00:06:21,920 --> 00:06:23,720
Speaker 3: against them later in this game. I know we'll get

118
00:06:23,760 --> 00:06:26,760
Speaker 3: to and I keep thinking about how all day Steve

119
00:06:26,800 --> 00:06:30,600
Speaker 3: Spagnolo was just daring Josh Allen to just stay patient,

120
00:06:30,600 --> 00:06:33,240
Speaker 3: stay patient, keep moving the ball up the field, keep

121
00:06:33,279 --> 00:06:36,760
Speaker 3: calling those runs, keep taking the checkdowns. No big plays

122
00:06:36,760 --> 00:06:38,920
Speaker 3: for the Bills. They literally did not have a throw

123
00:06:39,000 --> 00:06:41,600
Speaker 3: over fifteen yards in the game. He only had two

124
00:06:41,720 --> 00:06:44,320
Speaker 3: that went over ten yards in the air that were

125
00:06:44,560 --> 00:06:50,680
Speaker 3: completed in nutcutting time, and Alan tried some deep shots that,

126
00:06:50,839 --> 00:06:53,320
Speaker 3: through no fault of his own, weren't completed. You had

127
00:06:53,320 --> 00:06:56,640
Speaker 3: the sixty plus yarder through the air to dig Diggs

128
00:06:56,680 --> 00:07:00,120
Speaker 3: didn't make it. You had the Sherfield catches it, he

129
00:07:00,160 --> 00:07:03,240
Speaker 3: couldn't get. But in the final drive for the Bills

130
00:07:03,279 --> 00:07:06,480
Speaker 3: before they kicked that field goal first down that they

131
00:07:06,520 --> 00:07:08,320
Speaker 3: try to stick with the run burn a little more

132
00:07:08,400 --> 00:07:10,640
Speaker 3: clock cook is stopped. They ran the ball great in

133
00:07:10,640 --> 00:07:13,240
Speaker 3: the first half, Chiefs defense stepped up stopped the run

134
00:07:13,280 --> 00:07:14,679
Speaker 3: in the second half for the most part.

135
00:07:14,960 --> 00:07:17,680
Speaker 4: Next two plays. An Tony Roma pointed it out.

136
00:07:17,720 --> 00:07:24,280
Speaker 3: On second down, Allen has crossers short routes open, and

137
00:07:24,680 --> 00:07:28,320
Speaker 3: instead of going for Diggs over the middle, he holds it.

138
00:07:28,400 --> 00:07:31,200
Speaker 3: I can't kill the decision because he's got Shakir for

139
00:07:31,320 --> 00:07:36,240
Speaker 3: the game winning touchdown. But Chris Jones pushes Dowkins into

140
00:07:36,840 --> 00:07:40,160
Speaker 3: Allen's plant leg, he can't extend it, doesn't get there.

141
00:07:40,440 --> 00:07:41,840
Speaker 4: Third down, he holds the ball.

142
00:07:41,920 --> 00:07:44,280
Speaker 3: That was just a bad decision, trying to make a

143
00:07:44,320 --> 00:07:47,680
Speaker 3: bigger play, doesn't get it. And in the end, Josh

144
00:07:47,760 --> 00:07:49,880
Speaker 3: Allen is who Josh Allen is, and he went big

145
00:07:49,880 --> 00:07:53,000
Speaker 3: game hunting. I think he played great today, But Patrick

146
00:07:53,000 --> 00:07:56,000
Speaker 3: Mahomes played better, and the Chiefs defense and the end

147
00:07:56,040 --> 00:08:00,480
Speaker 3: play better. And they're just a great organization who is

148
00:08:00,520 --> 00:08:03,000
Speaker 3: playing their best when it absolutely matters. And that's what

149
00:08:03,120 --> 00:08:05,360
Speaker 3: dynasties do. And they are a dynasty.

150
00:08:05,520 --> 00:08:05,880
Speaker 4: Yeah.

151
00:08:06,040 --> 00:08:09,760
Speaker 2: I mean both teams combine for scores on nine of

152
00:08:09,800 --> 00:08:12,720
Speaker 2: the first eleven drives. Then it turns into an a

153
00:08:12,800 --> 00:08:16,040
Speaker 2: Blazon dogfight where that drives up a little bit and

154
00:08:16,080 --> 00:08:18,480
Speaker 2: it comes down to moments because if you knew in

155
00:08:18,520 --> 00:08:22,480
Speaker 2: this game that the Bills would have a Chiefs fumble

156
00:08:22,560 --> 00:08:24,440
Speaker 2: go through the end zone and you'd have a chance

157
00:08:24,480 --> 00:08:26,840
Speaker 2: to take a possession away from Kansas City, It's that

158
00:08:26,920 --> 00:08:29,520
Speaker 2: kind of game, and they do nothing with it. They

159
00:08:29,520 --> 00:08:33,640
Speaker 2: fizzle out and punt right away on the previous possession,

160
00:08:33,960 --> 00:08:36,560
Speaker 2: they go for a fake punt tomorrow Hamlon of all people,

161
00:08:37,160 --> 00:08:41,360
Speaker 2: unable to convert done on downs, missfield goal comes two

162
00:08:41,400 --> 00:08:45,640
Speaker 2: possessions later. Their final three possessions in a key, close,

163
00:08:46,040 --> 00:08:49,400
Speaker 2: tight affair result in zero points. They couldn't take advantage

164
00:08:49,400 --> 00:08:52,200
Speaker 2: of the little opportunities and a big play offense that

165
00:08:52,240 --> 00:08:55,080
Speaker 2: we've been used to to your point, Greg, zero plays

166
00:08:55,080 --> 00:08:56,760
Speaker 2: over twenty yards, not even like.

167
00:08:56,679 --> 00:08:58,960
Speaker 4: A Josh Allen big run or anything.

168
00:08:58,960 --> 00:09:01,000
Speaker 3: And I feel guys twenty seven for sevend they were

169
00:09:01,040 --> 00:09:02,520
Speaker 3: still like a good offense for most of the day

170
00:09:02,600 --> 00:09:04,120
Speaker 3: until the fourth quarter anyway, were not.

171
00:09:04,160 --> 00:09:05,920
Speaker 2: But I think it's like you have to look at

172
00:09:06,040 --> 00:09:08,480
Speaker 2: you know, we don't know what will happen with Stephan Diggs,

173
00:09:08,480 --> 00:09:11,679
Speaker 2: but like Stephan Diggs is not a primary number one

174
00:09:11,720 --> 00:09:13,480
Speaker 2: guy in this offense today the way that you would

175
00:09:13,480 --> 00:09:14,000
Speaker 2: have hoped.

176
00:09:14,040 --> 00:09:16,160
Speaker 4: They needed him. They absolutely did. And you can't be

177
00:09:16,320 --> 00:09:16,760
Speaker 4: what you're not.

178
00:09:16,880 --> 00:09:19,440
Speaker 1: And maybe Stephan Diggs got old fast, I don't know,

179
00:09:19,640 --> 00:09:21,560
Speaker 1: or maybe he's just not in a good headspace, or

180
00:09:21,600 --> 00:09:24,040
Speaker 1: maybe it's just the way sports work sometimes and it's

181
00:09:24,080 --> 00:09:26,320
Speaker 1: not your day and it's not your season. But there's

182
00:09:26,320 --> 00:09:28,720
Speaker 1: something wrong with Diggs and we had documented it on

183
00:09:28,840 --> 00:09:31,160
Speaker 1: Thursday Show when you looked at his numbers that he

184
00:09:31,280 --> 00:09:32,880
Speaker 1: just hadn't been an explosive player.

185
00:09:33,360 --> 00:09:34,720
Speaker 4: And yeah, that deep.

186
00:09:34,480 --> 00:09:36,440
Speaker 3: Shot I say on Digs just while we're there, like,

187
00:09:36,720 --> 00:09:38,559
Speaker 3: I think what is wrong with him in part is

188
00:09:38,640 --> 00:09:44,280
Speaker 3: Ljarious Snead in these two matchups nineteen targets forty five yards.

189
00:09:44,080 --> 00:09:48,120
Speaker 4: Which is Man and pala Jariosneaed.

190
00:09:48,160 --> 00:09:51,360
Speaker 1: That's all cool, but this goes back to two and

191
00:09:51,360 --> 00:09:56,320
Speaker 1: a half months and he was perfect. That bro was there,

192
00:09:56,480 --> 00:09:58,800
Speaker 1: He had him beat. He dropped it into his hands.

193
00:09:58,880 --> 00:10:01,840
Speaker 1: Alan and Digs not make the catch. And I'm not

194
00:10:01,880 --> 00:10:04,080
Speaker 1: saying they win the game if they because they end

195
00:10:04,160 --> 00:10:07,240
Speaker 1: up getting into Kansas City territory anyway on that drive.

196
00:10:07,480 --> 00:10:10,320
Speaker 4: But you know, coming back to this idea.

197
00:10:11,080 --> 00:10:14,720
Speaker 1: I feel like in the second half I felt it

198
00:10:14,800 --> 00:10:16,839
Speaker 1: watching the game, and I feel like you could feel

199
00:10:16,880 --> 00:10:19,600
Speaker 1: it in the in the building, and you could feel

200
00:10:19,920 --> 00:10:21,800
Speaker 1: just watching the way the players are the enormity of

201
00:10:21,840 --> 00:10:25,600
Speaker 1: the moment. It felt like it felt like in Eric again,

202
00:10:25,679 --> 00:10:27,880
Speaker 1: I Love You Body. I felt like we're watching a

203
00:10:27,960 --> 00:10:31,600
Speaker 1: game where it was a sliding doors moment in Bill's history,

204
00:10:31,679 --> 00:10:34,000
Speaker 1: like this was gonna be the half or the couple

205
00:10:34,040 --> 00:10:37,480
Speaker 1: of possessions that will be remembered forever when they get

206
00:10:37,520 --> 00:10:40,800
Speaker 1: past Mahomes and then beat the Ravens and go finally

207
00:10:40,800 --> 00:10:42,920
Speaker 1: win a Super Bowl. And they had it in front

208
00:10:42,960 --> 00:10:47,720
Speaker 1: of them after the horrendous Mikole Hardman turnover. Upon review,

209
00:10:48,400 --> 00:10:52,040
Speaker 1: they survived the botched fake punt, and then they get

210
00:10:52,080 --> 00:10:55,040
Speaker 1: the ball back again and they can't they can't move

211
00:10:55,120 --> 00:10:57,520
Speaker 1: the ball, and then for that drive to stall and

212
00:10:57,559 --> 00:10:59,680
Speaker 1: then you leave it up to the kicker on a

213
00:11:00,160 --> 00:11:03,040
Speaker 1: in January in Buffalo on a cold and windy day.

214
00:11:04,440 --> 00:11:05,200
Speaker 4: Unbelievable.

215
00:11:05,240 --> 00:11:08,000
Speaker 1: And that's what Patrick Mahomes was saying after the game

216
00:11:08,480 --> 00:11:11,960
Speaker 1: about his defense and a little pep talk that he

217
00:11:12,000 --> 00:11:13,600
Speaker 1: thought he should have given a little earlier.

218
00:11:14,120 --> 00:11:15,800
Speaker 6: I went over to the defense and I told him,

219
00:11:15,800 --> 00:11:17,880
Speaker 6: I'll say, y'all shut it down and we'll win this

220
00:11:17,880 --> 00:11:20,800
Speaker 6: football game. We'll go to the Nancy Championship game. And

221
00:11:20,840 --> 00:11:23,960
Speaker 6: they did going to that fourth quarter, and I told

222
00:11:24,000 --> 00:11:25,440
Speaker 6: him next time, I'll try to tell him earlier.

223
00:11:26,040 --> 00:11:30,000
Speaker 1: And to the credit to the credit of the Chiefs,

224
00:11:30,400 --> 00:11:35,000
Speaker 1: because the Bills kind of Greek tragedy side of it

225
00:11:34,640 --> 00:11:37,040
Speaker 1: is easy to kind of get wrapped up into. But

226
00:11:37,120 --> 00:11:40,160
Speaker 1: to the credit to the Chiefs, like the Patriots before him,

227
00:11:40,240 --> 00:11:43,760
Speaker 1: they they're that team that finds a way, especially this

228
00:11:43,800 --> 00:11:44,240
Speaker 1: time of year.

229
00:11:44,240 --> 00:11:44,880
Speaker 4: And they did it again.

230
00:11:44,920 --> 00:11:46,880
Speaker 3: Well they did it the same way they've done it

231
00:11:46,920 --> 00:11:49,600
Speaker 3: for five years, but they weren't supposed to this year.

232
00:11:49,679 --> 00:11:52,200
Speaker 3: But I'm just saying, like it was so crazy to

233
00:11:52,400 --> 00:11:56,200
Speaker 3: think going into the third quarter they were trailing in

234
00:11:56,280 --> 00:11:59,920
Speaker 3: this game and their offense at that point was averaging

235
00:12:00,160 --> 00:12:04,000
Speaker 3: nine yards per play and they hadn't been stopped. I'm

236
00:12:04,000 --> 00:12:06,040
Speaker 3: not counting it as a stop when they ran one

237
00:12:06,120 --> 00:12:10,080
Speaker 3: play before halftime. The Chiefs had literally scored every time

238
00:12:10,120 --> 00:12:12,240
Speaker 3: they had the ball. They were averaging nine point three

239
00:12:12,320 --> 00:12:14,840
Speaker 3: yards per play, and they entered the fourth quarter trailiing.

240
00:12:14,880 --> 00:12:16,880
Speaker 3: That's what happened in the Dick for meal days. That

241
00:12:17,040 --> 00:12:19,480
Speaker 3: was the stuff that happened early in this Mahomes run,

242
00:12:19,480 --> 00:12:21,800
Speaker 3: when you had Brady and Gronk going up and down

243
00:12:21,840 --> 00:12:24,560
Speaker 3: the field in the first half. Their defense actually didn't

244
00:12:24,600 --> 00:12:27,840
Speaker 3: show up very well today and it didn't matter because

245
00:12:27,920 --> 00:12:32,319
Speaker 3: Mahomes and this offense were cooking. Kelsey making big plays

246
00:12:32,800 --> 00:12:35,080
Speaker 3: the first play of the second half, Mahomes with a

247
00:12:35,160 --> 00:12:38,080
Speaker 3: dot to MVS. Then later in the second half where

248
00:12:38,120 --> 00:12:40,600
Speaker 3: Mahomes evades the pass rush there was no Bills pass

249
00:12:40,679 --> 00:12:44,000
Speaker 3: rush today, steps up another one down the field to MVS.

250
00:12:44,120 --> 00:12:46,400
Speaker 3: They ran the ball really well, like this was a

251
00:12:46,559 --> 00:12:51,280
Speaker 3: peak Chiefs offensive performance that certainly makes you think, like, hmm,

252
00:12:51,480 --> 00:12:53,679
Speaker 3: wonder if they have one or two more of these

253
00:12:53,720 --> 00:12:53,960
Speaker 3: in them?

254
00:12:54,000 --> 00:12:54,640
Speaker 4: That's all they need.

255
00:12:54,800 --> 00:12:56,199
Speaker 2: Yeah, it was two weeks in.

256
00:12:56,120 --> 00:12:58,040
Speaker 4: A row now where they've answered questions on that side

257
00:12:58,040 --> 00:12:58,160
Speaker 4: of the.

258
00:12:58,120 --> 00:13:00,240
Speaker 2: Ball, and I, you know, I think Kelsey this whole

259
00:13:00,280 --> 00:13:03,720
Speaker 2: season has not felt to me obviously like peak Kelsey,

260
00:13:03,920 --> 00:13:06,199
Speaker 2: but he showed up today in a big way and

261
00:13:06,440 --> 00:13:07,800
Speaker 2: crossed the barrier.

262
00:13:07,840 --> 00:13:08,520
Speaker 4: They've got the most.

263
00:13:08,600 --> 00:13:12,360
Speaker 2: You know, Mahomes and Kelsey now the most quarterback target

264
00:13:12,520 --> 00:13:15,600
Speaker 2: touchdowns and playoff history that passed Brady and Gronk. It

265
00:13:15,640 --> 00:13:17,719
Speaker 2: looks like it, that feels like it. That's who the

266
00:13:17,800 --> 00:13:21,880
Speaker 2: Chiefs are, and there is just something inevitable about Mahomes.

267
00:13:22,320 --> 00:13:24,400
Speaker 2: There wasn't a moment in this game where you felt

268
00:13:24,559 --> 00:13:26,640
Speaker 2: any doubt coming from him. And this whole thing that

269
00:13:26,640 --> 00:13:28,800
Speaker 2: he's on the road, I think he enjoyed being on them.

270
00:13:29,320 --> 00:13:31,520
Speaker 2: I think he enjoyed being in this environment, and they

271
00:13:31,520 --> 00:13:33,920
Speaker 2: took that challenge on. Chris Jones was going at the

272
00:13:33,920 --> 00:13:36,440
Speaker 2: Bills fans before the game, and that's a lot. You

273
00:13:36,440 --> 00:13:39,679
Speaker 2: know that you're watching Bills fans shedding tears at the

274
00:13:39,760 --> 00:13:42,240
Speaker 2: end of this affair, and I think it's like it is.

275
00:13:42,320 --> 00:13:44,840
Speaker 2: It is the inevitability of the Kansas City Chiefs that

276
00:13:44,840 --> 00:13:47,760
Speaker 2: they're going to find a way in any environment, any situation,

277
00:13:48,160 --> 00:13:50,880
Speaker 2: to show up when it matters most, and the doubts

278
00:13:50,920 --> 00:13:53,120
Speaker 2: about their offense flutter away at this point.

279
00:13:53,200 --> 00:13:55,679
Speaker 1: Here's an annoying thing again about like this job, what

280
00:13:55,720 --> 00:13:58,480
Speaker 1: we do for a living. We're supposed to be paid

281
00:13:58,520 --> 00:14:01,200
Speaker 1: off this time of year now, because we watched all

282
00:14:01,240 --> 00:14:03,679
Speaker 1: the Chiefs tape all year and we how many times

283
00:14:03,679 --> 00:14:05,679
Speaker 1: did we say, Man, if they haven't figured it out

284
00:14:05,679 --> 00:14:07,360
Speaker 1: by now, it's just not gonna happen.

285
00:14:07,720 --> 00:14:10,160
Speaker 4: And the way they were able to just they started it.

286
00:14:10,160 --> 00:14:12,040
Speaker 1: Last week and they had some red zone issues, but

287
00:14:12,080 --> 00:14:13,760
Speaker 1: really did I think they were over four hundred yards

288
00:14:13,800 --> 00:14:16,120
Speaker 1: Greg as you pointed out earlier last week in their

289
00:14:16,160 --> 00:14:19,840
Speaker 1: win this week, was it looked vintage and then it's

290
00:14:19,880 --> 00:14:22,560
Speaker 1: just like weird stuff goes on again. I struggle to

291
00:14:22,560 --> 00:14:24,640
Speaker 1: hate the Chiefs, even though they're a team at this

292
00:14:24,680 --> 00:14:26,800
Speaker 1: point everyone should get sick of. And I think there's

293
00:14:26,840 --> 00:14:28,680
Speaker 1: a little bit of that pushback that kind of began

294
00:14:28,800 --> 00:14:31,880
Speaker 1: this year with some Chiefs fatigue. I think Taylor Swift's

295
00:14:31,880 --> 00:14:35,320
Speaker 1: involvement with the team indirectly has has led to that.

296
00:14:36,000 --> 00:14:41,920
Speaker 1: But I can't because they are just not an unlikable squad.

297
00:14:42,360 --> 00:14:44,760
Speaker 1: But the things that do get me mad because it

298
00:14:44,800 --> 00:14:46,680
Speaker 1: shouldn't be that way, because it isn't like this for

299
00:14:46,720 --> 00:14:49,160
Speaker 1: any other team MVS. Shouldn't all of a sudden be

300
00:14:49,400 --> 00:14:53,000
Speaker 1: like making incredibly play incredible plays downfield like he's making

301
00:14:53,000 --> 00:14:54,880
Speaker 1: in this game. The guy could not catch a cold

302
00:14:55,240 --> 00:14:57,920
Speaker 1: for basically his whole career and now is making big

303
00:14:57,960 --> 00:15:00,880
Speaker 1: time plays. You're seeing play it now. Isaiah. I like

304
00:15:00,960 --> 00:15:04,240
Speaker 1: Isaiah Bacheko. He runs like Peak, like Roger Craig, now

305
00:15:04,320 --> 00:15:07,360
Speaker 1: like that. I mean, this team, their ability to find

306
00:15:07,400 --> 00:15:10,920
Speaker 1: ways to get it done with obviously Mahomes at the

307
00:15:11,000 --> 00:15:11,520
Speaker 1: center of it.

308
00:15:11,520 --> 00:15:13,240
Speaker 4: It's commendable and yes, annoying.

309
00:15:13,760 --> 00:15:16,880
Speaker 3: It's their O line two Today Ed Oliver didn't have

310
00:15:16,920 --> 00:15:20,240
Speaker 3: a pressure I think for the first time in two years. Wow,

311
00:15:20,400 --> 00:15:22,000
Speaker 3: he was He had a one on one matchup with

312
00:15:22,080 --> 00:15:24,400
Speaker 3: Joe Toney most of the day. Daikwon Jones didn't get

313
00:15:24,400 --> 00:15:27,240
Speaker 3: after Von Miller is a total no show, you know,

314
00:15:27,280 --> 00:15:31,160
Speaker 3: one of the most regrettable contracts, unfortunately for them because

315
00:15:31,160 --> 00:15:32,680
Speaker 3: of the injury, and he couldn't come back and he

316
00:15:32,760 --> 00:15:34,200
Speaker 3: just couldn't get after him. And then you look at

317
00:15:34,200 --> 00:15:36,640
Speaker 3: the box score and it's Mahomes seventeen for twenty three, two,

318
00:15:36,720 --> 00:15:39,080
Speaker 3: fifteen and two. And yet I think of this as

319
00:15:39,120 --> 00:15:40,680
Speaker 3: like one of his best games ever. I know he

320
00:15:40,760 --> 00:15:44,640
Speaker 3: missed those two throws it in the red zone where

321
00:15:45,000 --> 00:15:47,400
Speaker 3: back to back play is essentially where they were trying

322
00:15:47,400 --> 00:15:50,000
Speaker 3: to go in. But other than that, just the decision making,

323
00:15:50,040 --> 00:15:52,280
Speaker 3: everything's on point. It's fun to watch greatness, but you're right,

324
00:15:52,440 --> 00:15:55,920
Speaker 3: there is something about this team when it when it

325
00:15:55,960 --> 00:15:59,040
Speaker 3: really comes to it, like the defense did make those plays.

326
00:15:59,080 --> 00:16:01,880
Speaker 3: Suddenly they have five tackles for losses. Suddenly they're in

327
00:16:01,960 --> 00:16:06,440
Speaker 3: the Bill's backfield for all these negative gains. Ceh Clyde

328
00:16:06,520 --> 00:16:10,800
Speaker 3: Edwards Hilaire like a draft bust, couldn't literally couldn't get

329
00:16:10,840 --> 00:16:12,680
Speaker 3: on the field all season a first round pick, and

330
00:16:12,720 --> 00:16:15,480
Speaker 3: suddenly he's popping up for like a big twenty eight yarder.

331
00:16:15,640 --> 00:16:19,480
Speaker 3: And there is just something about this team that now

332
00:16:19,480 --> 00:16:21,520
Speaker 3: that we're here, even though I wanted this Bill's team

333
00:16:21,560 --> 00:16:23,320
Speaker 3: to win, you do look at all the injuries that

334
00:16:23,360 --> 00:16:27,200
Speaker 3: they were taking advantage. The linebacker position for Buffalo certainly

335
00:16:27,240 --> 00:16:29,880
Speaker 3: thin at the playmaker Shakira was going in and out,

336
00:16:30,120 --> 00:16:32,920
Speaker 3: the tight ends were getting hurt, and you do think,

337
00:16:33,000 --> 00:16:36,640
Speaker 3: like this Chiefs team is a little healthier. They're peeking

338
00:16:36,800 --> 00:16:38,880
Speaker 3: and it does set up we'll get into it during

339
00:16:38,920 --> 00:16:40,720
Speaker 3: the week, but it does set up a beautiful matchup

340
00:16:40,720 --> 00:16:41,120
Speaker 3: next week.

341
00:16:41,200 --> 00:16:42,880
Speaker 2: Yeah, because this was a game where it's like you

342
00:16:42,920 --> 00:16:45,720
Speaker 2: start to look back at the bodies that are lost

343
00:16:45,760 --> 00:16:48,320
Speaker 2: for Buffalo, Like Matt Malana was missed in this game.

344
00:16:48,400 --> 00:16:51,080
Speaker 4: AJ Klein was picked on a lot in this one.

345
00:16:51,560 --> 00:16:53,680
Speaker 2: And if I knew going in that the Chiefs would

346
00:16:53,680 --> 00:16:57,480
Speaker 2: have the ball for twenty two plus minutes in the

347
00:16:57,520 --> 00:17:00,360
Speaker 2: Bills thirty seven plus. I would have thought that's what

348
00:17:00,440 --> 00:17:03,320
Speaker 2: Buffalo wants. Yeah, keeping the ball out of mahomes hands,

349
00:17:03,560 --> 00:17:05,520
Speaker 2: and they must be going on long scoring drivers, they

350
00:17:05,600 --> 00:17:09,840
Speaker 2: must be converting. And instead it's like the Chiefs did

351
00:17:09,880 --> 00:17:13,160
Speaker 2: so much with so little time, and it's like nine

352
00:17:13,240 --> 00:17:17,280
Speaker 2: point three yards per pass for the Chiefs four point

353
00:17:17,359 --> 00:17:20,160
Speaker 2: six or sorry, four point eight for the Bills. Big

354
00:17:20,200 --> 00:17:24,560
Speaker 2: plays versus no big plays. Now we're about to throw

355
00:17:24,600 --> 00:17:25,720
Speaker 2: to some Josh Allen sound.

356
00:17:25,760 --> 00:17:28,480
Speaker 1: I just want to to Bills fans if you're listening,

357
00:17:28,480 --> 00:17:34,000
Speaker 1: and by the way, great people just tough, tough as

358
00:17:34,080 --> 00:17:36,159
Speaker 1: nails if you're listening to the show, so they know

359
00:17:36,200 --> 00:17:39,680
Speaker 1: it can't be easy. But even if Bess pipes that one,

360
00:17:40,400 --> 00:17:43,280
Speaker 1: he'll tie the game. But the Buffalo's inability to really

361
00:17:43,320 --> 00:17:46,760
Speaker 1: finish off that drive, they were a lot of trouble anyway,

362
00:17:46,800 --> 00:17:49,320
Speaker 1: because that would have been with one forty seven to play.

363
00:17:49,440 --> 00:17:51,840
Speaker 1: You're sending Mahomes back on the field with two timeouts.

364
00:17:51,840 --> 00:17:56,240
Speaker 1: So the offense's inability to execute in the fourth quarter,

365
00:17:56,880 --> 00:17:58,160
Speaker 1: and this is a game, by the way, that had

366
00:17:58,200 --> 00:17:59,959
Speaker 1: five lead changes by the first minute of the four

367
00:18:00,160 --> 00:18:03,560
Speaker 1: fourth quarter. But their inability to score and execute they

368
00:18:03,560 --> 00:18:06,560
Speaker 1: were shut out in the fourth quarter. Really is what

369
00:18:06,720 --> 00:18:09,680
Speaker 1: haunt will haunt them throughout this offseason. Here's here's Josh

370
00:18:09,680 --> 00:18:14,480
Speaker 1: Allen on another year of what if sucks.

371
00:18:15,680 --> 00:18:22,320
Speaker 7: Losing sucks, losing them, losing anybody at home sucks.

372
00:18:24,119 --> 00:18:27,800
Speaker 4: Yeah, that about accurately sums it up. It's such a bummer.

373
00:18:27,840 --> 00:18:32,640
Speaker 3: They had Micah Hyde and Jordan Poyer take the podium

374
00:18:32,680 --> 00:18:36,880
Speaker 3: together and they talked about how they came in at

375
00:18:36,880 --> 00:18:39,359
Speaker 3: twenty seventeen and it just hurts for the guys like

376
00:18:39,480 --> 00:18:43,159
Speaker 3: them that came in together and are still there, the

377
00:18:43,160 --> 00:18:45,760
Speaker 3: ones that kind of change this entire culture, where like

378
00:18:45,840 --> 00:18:50,480
Speaker 3: even making the playoffs, they're sending Andy Dalton, you know,

379
00:18:51,240 --> 00:18:53,879
Speaker 3: thousands and tens of thousands of dollars in charity money

380
00:18:53,920 --> 00:18:56,320
Speaker 3: just because they got Tyrod Taylor into the playoffs to

381
00:18:56,359 --> 00:18:58,199
Speaker 3: lose a wild gargament. That's how much it meant. That's

382
00:18:58,240 --> 00:19:00,040
Speaker 3: how much they needed that culture to be changed. And

383
00:19:00,119 --> 00:19:02,919
Speaker 3: here at so many of those guys, including Milano and

384
00:19:02,960 --> 00:19:06,840
Speaker 3: those two have been there throughout and it did feel

385
00:19:06,840 --> 00:19:09,000
Speaker 3: a little bit. And Poyer and Hyde every year you're

386
00:19:09,040 --> 00:19:10,639
Speaker 3: not sure if they're gonna come back. Poyer, by the way,

387
00:19:10,720 --> 00:19:13,400
Speaker 3: had that heroic punch out on Hardman on the goal

388
00:19:13,440 --> 00:19:15,280
Speaker 3: line like that would have been a defining play for him.

389
00:19:15,320 --> 00:19:16,879
Speaker 3: I think he's thirty five years old, and you just

390
00:19:16,880 --> 00:19:20,840
Speaker 3: don't know how many of those guys will be back

391
00:19:21,000 --> 00:19:23,080
Speaker 3: next year. I don't know if Stefan Diggs will be back,

392
00:19:23,119 --> 00:19:25,800
Speaker 3: and I think they knew the enormity. You feel that

393
00:19:25,920 --> 00:19:28,919
Speaker 3: every year, and I'm sure it hurts McDermott because he

394
00:19:28,960 --> 00:19:31,000
Speaker 3: did such a good job I think coaching up this

395
00:19:31,080 --> 00:19:34,359
Speaker 3: defense throughout the back half of the year, really scheming

396
00:19:34,400 --> 00:19:39,440
Speaker 3: things up, and he just lost today, like scheme players everything,

397
00:19:39,840 --> 00:19:42,879
Speaker 3: Andy Reid and Mahomes put it on McDermott and his

398
00:19:42,960 --> 00:19:45,679
Speaker 3: defense in a big spot can and he's gonna say,

399
00:19:45,720 --> 00:19:47,440
Speaker 3: you can't. You can't change the defensive play caller. He

400
00:19:47,480 --> 00:19:50,399
Speaker 3: already changed the offensive play caller. Unless they give Bills

401
00:19:50,400 --> 00:19:52,600
Speaker 3: fans on Twitter their wish at least something that I saw,

402
00:19:52,600 --> 00:19:54,280
Speaker 3: and they're like bringing Bill Belichick.

403
00:19:54,440 --> 00:19:55,320
Speaker 4: That is not happening.

404
00:19:55,440 --> 00:19:59,119
Speaker 1: Back in August, we did the urgency meter had the

405
00:19:59,119 --> 00:20:01,960
Speaker 1: Bills on top, and you push back pretty hard on it, Greg.

406
00:20:02,520 --> 00:20:05,040
Speaker 1: But I saw this season as they were at the

407
00:20:05,119 --> 00:20:07,359
Speaker 1: top of the urgency meter, and I thought this the

408
00:20:07,359 --> 00:20:12,560
Speaker 1: window of this particular Bills team, this Josh Allen led team,

409
00:20:12,840 --> 00:20:15,080
Speaker 1: but with some of the players on the defense you mentioned,

410
00:20:15,440 --> 00:20:18,120
Speaker 1: with Stefan Diggs as the alpha dog of the offense,

411
00:20:18,800 --> 00:20:21,000
Speaker 1: like it was gonna be telling what happens after this year.

412
00:20:21,000 --> 00:20:22,680
Speaker 1: And I really do think we're gonna probably see a

413
00:20:22,680 --> 00:20:25,120
Speaker 1: different Bills team. I think McDermott's obviously gonna be back,

414
00:20:25,720 --> 00:20:28,879
Speaker 1: Allen's not going anywhere, Malone will be healthy again. But

415
00:20:29,119 --> 00:20:31,400
Speaker 1: at a certain point, I mean, how many times you're

416
00:20:31,400 --> 00:20:34,200
Speaker 1: gonna keep running into this wall in the AFC playoffs

417
00:20:34,400 --> 00:20:37,440
Speaker 1: before you have to make substantial chances changes around the

418
00:20:37,520 --> 00:20:40,959
Speaker 1: quarterback and coach. We'll see, well, Alix, they have a

419
00:20:41,400 --> 00:20:44,640
Speaker 1: fascinating offseason because how do you approach from where they're

420
00:20:44,640 --> 00:20:45,119
Speaker 1: at right now?

421
00:20:45,119 --> 00:20:47,000
Speaker 2: They absolutely do, and I think it starts with you know,

422
00:20:47,240 --> 00:20:51,359
Speaker 2: like last offseason there was drama laced around Steph on Diggs.

423
00:20:51,359 --> 00:20:53,359
Speaker 2: I think it's start. We're right back there again to

424
00:20:53,359 --> 00:20:56,720
Speaker 2: find out his future. But the desperation to win to

425
00:20:56,760 --> 00:21:00,840
Speaker 2: get past this step showed when they fired offensive coordinator

426
00:21:00,880 --> 00:21:03,600
Speaker 2: mid season, like this team would do anything to get

427
00:21:03,600 --> 00:21:05,639
Speaker 2: it right, and your back where you started from. A

428
00:21:05,680 --> 00:21:07,440
Speaker 2: bunch of guys are probably not going to be back,

429
00:21:07,680 --> 00:21:10,520
Speaker 2: and then you're hoping next year that your quarterback stays healthy,

430
00:21:10,720 --> 00:21:13,159
Speaker 2: that the division doesn't change too much, that you can

431
00:21:13,240 --> 00:21:15,199
Speaker 2: be this Bills team and add weapons. But it's like

432
00:21:15,680 --> 00:21:18,600
Speaker 2: the journey back to get to this place is only

433
00:21:18,680 --> 00:21:21,359
Speaker 2: more pressure laid and more impossible to get to. And

434
00:21:21,440 --> 00:21:23,680
Speaker 2: I think you see the difference between a Chiefs team

435
00:21:23,680 --> 00:21:25,680
Speaker 2: that's like, who cares what we've been for the past

436
00:21:25,680 --> 00:21:28,000
Speaker 2: four months, We're going to be something different now.

437
00:21:28,200 --> 00:21:28,840
Speaker 4: And they knew it.

438
00:21:28,840 --> 00:21:32,159
Speaker 2: It's like Mahomes that in that comment saying I'm going

439
00:21:32,240 --> 00:21:33,600
Speaker 2: to go tell the defense you do it.

440
00:21:33,800 --> 00:21:35,880
Speaker 4: I'll get us to the AFC Championship. Do your part.

441
00:21:36,119 --> 00:21:38,359
Speaker 2: The Bills are wondering how do we get past this

442
00:21:38,680 --> 00:21:42,280
Speaker 2: and it's another season ending with a massive question.

443
00:21:42,359 --> 00:21:44,480
Speaker 3: Well, they know more than anyone, the Bills, how tough

444
00:21:44,520 --> 00:21:46,760
Speaker 3: it is to get here. They had to win what

445
00:21:47,119 --> 00:21:49,600
Speaker 3: six straight games to get to this point, and you

446
00:21:49,600 --> 00:21:51,480
Speaker 3: were feeling like they were that team, and they did

447
00:21:51,480 --> 00:21:53,000
Speaker 3: make a lot of changes. They turned into kind of

448
00:21:53,080 --> 00:21:55,320
Speaker 3: a heavy personnel run the ball. Well they ran it

449
00:21:55,359 --> 00:21:57,679
Speaker 3: for one to eighty two today, like don't get it

450
00:21:58,200 --> 00:22:01,359
Speaker 3: like lost. I think in the few plays like Josh

451
00:22:01,359 --> 00:22:03,160
Speaker 3: Allen played out standing in this game.

452
00:22:03,280 --> 00:22:04,680
Speaker 4: The reason this game is a classic.

453
00:22:05,320 --> 00:22:07,520
Speaker 3: It's gonna be, you know, a game of the week tomorrow,

454
00:22:07,560 --> 00:22:09,040
Speaker 3: but to me, it's the game of the year. So

455
00:22:09,119 --> 00:22:12,399
Speaker 3: far as Mahomes and Allen were brought their a games,

456
00:22:12,480 --> 00:22:15,440
Speaker 3: Allan was not letting them lose there for three quarters.

457
00:22:15,480 --> 00:22:17,520
Speaker 3: And I know there's a couple of plays at the end,

458
00:22:17,520 --> 00:22:19,960
Speaker 3: but if his receivers made place for him, kind of

459
00:22:20,000 --> 00:22:21,920
Speaker 3: like we've been wanting the Chiefs receivers to make plays

460
00:22:21,960 --> 00:22:23,320
Speaker 3: for Mahomes for a lot of the game, like.

461
00:22:23,520 --> 00:22:24,359
Speaker 4: He'd be the hero.

462
00:22:24,440 --> 00:22:27,360
Speaker 3: So it was two of the very best and unfortunately

463
00:22:27,400 --> 00:22:30,800
Speaker 3: for Bills Field, like a familiar finish, except for the

464
00:22:30,840 --> 00:22:33,680
Speaker 3: snowballs being thrown at Mahomes as he like gleefully ran

465
00:22:33,720 --> 00:22:34,240
Speaker 3: off the field.

466
00:22:35,400 --> 00:22:38,400
Speaker 1: That was a great image, Jason Kelcey with his shirt off,

467
00:22:39,320 --> 00:22:43,400
Speaker 1: bellowing from the luxury suite, upstaging even Taylor Swift.

468
00:22:43,160 --> 00:22:47,960
Speaker 2: Exiting this sweet moment down into the stands amongst right.

469
00:22:48,119 --> 00:22:50,199
Speaker 4: He was slightly for some reason, I wouldn't do that

470
00:22:50,240 --> 00:22:52,439
Speaker 4: in Baltimore. I don't know. I guess Jason Kelsey can

471
00:22:52,520 --> 00:22:54,840
Speaker 4: do whatever he wants anywhere else. Was hammered.

472
00:22:54,960 --> 00:22:58,639
Speaker 1: Yeah, let's not get that twisted. And I'm not judging

473
00:22:58,640 --> 00:23:01,080
Speaker 1: the man. I think he's early into retirement now. They

474
00:23:01,160 --> 00:23:03,520
Speaker 1: said a great time, but he was, he was, he

475
00:23:03,560 --> 00:23:03,920
Speaker 1: was sauce.

476
00:23:03,960 --> 00:23:07,239
Speaker 2: But like when he gave his speech apparently when they

477
00:23:07,240 --> 00:23:09,560
Speaker 2: won the Super Bowl at the parade. Yeah, he was

478
00:23:09,600 --> 00:23:12,080
Speaker 2: asked I think Sheilkipedia like tweeted this out, Like he

479
00:23:12,200 --> 00:23:14,439
Speaker 2: was asked how many beers he had in his system

480
00:23:14,440 --> 00:23:16,639
Speaker 2: at that point, and he said twenty and then like

481
00:23:16,680 --> 00:23:18,480
Speaker 2: on a scale of one to ten, how drunk crew was,

482
00:23:18,520 --> 00:23:19,720
Speaker 2: Like it was like a five out of ten.

483
00:23:19,920 --> 00:23:21,480
Speaker 4: So who knows what was going on today.

484
00:23:21,480 --> 00:23:24,440
Speaker 1: He's one of those heroic like wade bogs, like beer drinkers,

485
00:23:24,480 --> 00:23:26,919
Speaker 1: like you could do forty beers from Seattle to Boston

486
00:23:26,960 --> 00:23:30,960
Speaker 1: on a flight. Yeah, the the me Cole fumble, the

487
00:23:31,000 --> 00:23:34,680
Speaker 1: guy is drunk when Alan fumbles near midfield and somehow

488
00:23:34,680 --> 00:23:36,720
Speaker 1: it doesn't get scooped up and they recover.

489
00:23:36,920 --> 00:23:38,360
Speaker 4: Oh, the Allen roll out.

490
00:23:38,680 --> 00:23:42,960
Speaker 1: I think it was a twenty six percent completion probability

491
00:23:43,160 --> 00:23:44,760
Speaker 1: to Shakir to put them ahead.

492
00:23:44,880 --> 00:23:49,040
Speaker 4: Oh yeah, like ridiculous, there's so many I hears Eric,

493
00:23:50,200 --> 00:23:50,920
Speaker 4: I'm stunned.

494
00:23:50,960 --> 00:23:53,320
Speaker 1: I can't believe this was right the day, right, Eric,

495
00:23:53,359 --> 00:23:56,680
Speaker 1: I can't believe this wasn't the game, the Buffalo game

496
00:23:56,680 --> 00:23:57,800
Speaker 1: that you remember forever that.

497
00:23:58,040 --> 00:23:59,120
Speaker 4: I'm sorry, buddy, No, I.

498
00:23:59,080 --> 00:24:02,119
Speaker 8: Mean you become Kallis as it callous to it as

499
00:24:02,119 --> 00:24:04,400
Speaker 8: a Bills fan. I mean, I actually was telling people

500
00:24:04,480 --> 00:24:07,040
Speaker 8: today I felt like a little confident and I've told

501
00:24:07,080 --> 00:24:11,080
Speaker 8: them like, that's probably not good because Buffalo's going to

502
00:24:11,119 --> 00:24:14,159
Speaker 8: Buffalo and yeah, yeah, I mean the I don't know,

503
00:24:14,600 --> 00:24:17,240
Speaker 8: it all comes crashing down so quickly and in a

504
00:24:17,240 --> 00:24:19,640
Speaker 8: moment like that, I mean all game. I'm talking around.

505
00:24:19,680 --> 00:24:23,200
Speaker 8: You were watching this game, and Bass watched one last week.

506
00:24:23,240 --> 00:24:26,040
Speaker 8: He had one blocked. And even his little extra points,

507
00:24:26,040 --> 00:24:28,840
Speaker 8: they're kind of a little dicey, they're a little and like, dude,

508
00:24:28,840 --> 00:24:31,280
Speaker 8: he's tucking them in and they they go for it

509
00:24:31,280 --> 00:24:33,240
Speaker 8: and they get there was a nice drive and it's like,

510
00:24:33,280 --> 00:24:35,280
Speaker 8: well you kick it. I'm like, yeah, you gotta kick it.

511
00:24:35,359 --> 00:24:37,520
Speaker 8: Tie the game, and like, do you trust your kicker?

512
00:24:37,520 --> 00:24:38,080
Speaker 8: I'm like, hell no.

513
00:24:38,480 --> 00:24:41,240
Speaker 4: But I had a bad feeling about that kick. Yeah

514
00:24:42,080 --> 00:24:42,480
Speaker 4: you said it.

515
00:24:42,520 --> 00:24:45,120
Speaker 2: You actually said it seconds before he missed, and I thought,

516
00:24:45,119 --> 00:24:46,920
Speaker 2: that's it's too evil.

517
00:24:46,960 --> 00:24:50,119
Speaker 4: It was just and it was as soon it was

518
00:24:50,240 --> 00:24:52,480
Speaker 4: off the foot, Yeah, it was. It was.

519
00:24:52,840 --> 00:24:54,760
Speaker 3: They have their season online earlier that drive with a

520
00:24:54,800 --> 00:24:57,080
Speaker 3: fourth down call, they convert that. Alan had a nice

521
00:24:57,119 --> 00:25:00,000
Speaker 3: another down on that and then like it all comes

522
00:25:00,040 --> 00:25:02,880
Speaker 3: crashing down, and then the second it's over, you get

523
00:25:02,880 --> 00:25:05,800
Speaker 3: a slack from like me, like, hey, can we get

524
00:25:05,800 --> 00:25:10,320
Speaker 3: some postgame sound? Yeah, Alan really pouring his Howard out.

525
00:25:10,359 --> 00:25:12,520
Speaker 8: That's a nature of the business, you guys, I'm a professional.

526
00:25:12,560 --> 00:25:13,200
Speaker 4: You're pro due.

527
00:25:13,200 --> 00:25:15,600
Speaker 1: But they also could have gotten by the way, even

528
00:25:15,600 --> 00:25:18,000
Speaker 1: after the miss. If you get a stop, maybe a

529
00:25:18,040 --> 00:25:20,560
Speaker 1: miracle a reverse thirteen seconds can happen.

530
00:25:21,000 --> 00:25:22,800
Speaker 4: But I mean give the Chiefs credit.

531
00:25:22,840 --> 00:25:26,280
Speaker 1: They really were the better team ultimately, and they proved

532
00:25:26,280 --> 00:25:28,480
Speaker 1: it by ice in the game there with two runs

533
00:25:29,160 --> 00:25:30,400
Speaker 1: I mean ensuing drive and.

534
00:25:30,359 --> 00:25:30,679
Speaker 4: That was it.

535
00:25:30,920 --> 00:25:32,960
Speaker 8: The first drive, guys, is like a third and seventeen,

536
00:25:33,040 --> 00:25:36,600
Speaker 8: a fourth and one conversion, overturned fumble, overturned fumble. It's

537
00:25:36,680 --> 00:25:38,560
Speaker 8: like it's a minute and a half in and I'm like,

538
00:25:38,760 --> 00:25:40,399
Speaker 8: my nerves already through the roof, and I'm like, this

539
00:25:40,480 --> 00:25:42,080
Speaker 8: is gonna be well those days and something's gonna go

540
00:25:42,080 --> 00:25:43,040
Speaker 8: horrible the worst.

541
00:25:43,119 --> 00:25:46,480
Speaker 2: It's it's also tough, like when your team keeps losing

542
00:25:46,520 --> 00:25:48,400
Speaker 2: to the same team of the playoffs, and like, yeah,

543
00:25:48,440 --> 00:25:50,320
Speaker 2: you know, Big Funk knows that with the Packers and

544
00:25:50,359 --> 00:25:53,240
Speaker 2: the Niners, and it's like, you've got this situation. It's

545
00:25:53,280 --> 00:25:57,240
Speaker 2: like it's it's it's this resounding, repeating note over and over.

546
00:25:57,320 --> 00:25:58,160
Speaker 4: That's an evil note.

547
00:25:58,240 --> 00:26:01,879
Speaker 1: I know, I know that basketball is completely different than

548
00:26:01,880 --> 00:26:05,560
Speaker 1: football tirely, but it does make me think of when

549
00:26:05,560 --> 00:26:06,480
Speaker 1: we're talking about what do the.

550
00:26:06,400 --> 00:26:09,120
Speaker 4: Bills need to do? Ball is completely different than as.

551
00:26:08,960 --> 00:26:11,600
Speaker 1: A Knicks fan in the early nineties could not get

552
00:26:11,680 --> 00:26:14,560
Speaker 1: past Jordan, couldn't do it, and then it was like,

553
00:26:14,680 --> 00:26:19,520
Speaker 1: is there something wrong with the Knicks? Well, Jordan basketball,

554
00:26:20,040 --> 00:26:23,800
Speaker 1: Michael Jordan's the problem. They had incredible teams in ninety one,

555
00:26:23,920 --> 00:26:26,680
Speaker 1: ninety two, ninety three, and they just couldn't get him.

556
00:26:27,119 --> 00:26:31,240
Speaker 1: And you know that's maybe that's the maybe that's the pain.

557
00:26:31,359 --> 00:26:33,760
Speaker 1: You don't want Josh Allen to be remembered as the

558
00:26:33,800 --> 00:26:36,399
Speaker 1: guy that just happened to play at the same time

559
00:26:36,520 --> 00:26:40,280
Speaker 1: as Brady straight into Mahomes and you'll just end up

560
00:26:40,280 --> 00:26:43,000
Speaker 1: always being the bridesmaid. But it's hard not to think

561
00:26:43,040 --> 00:26:44,480
Speaker 1: that way. He's still got a lot of years, but

562
00:26:44,520 --> 00:26:45,080
Speaker 1: it's it's been.

563
00:26:45,000 --> 00:26:47,359
Speaker 3: Yeah, we end up Mahomes Jordan debate, like in twenty

564
00:26:47,400 --> 00:26:50,080
Speaker 3: eighteen or twenty nineteen. When Mahomes is making that run,

565
00:26:50,119 --> 00:26:53,119
Speaker 3: it's like he is the best football player I've ever

566
00:26:53,200 --> 00:26:56,679
Speaker 3: seen and at no point has that even dipped like

567
00:26:56,720 --> 00:26:58,800
Speaker 3: a little bit. And he just proves it again and again.

568
00:26:58,840 --> 00:27:02,080
Speaker 4: It's crazy. All right, Uh, let's uh, let's move.

569
00:27:02,200 --> 00:27:04,959
Speaker 1: Let's move to the other AFC game it was played

570
00:27:05,040 --> 00:27:07,720
Speaker 1: on Saturday was the number one seed Ravens against the

571
00:27:07,800 --> 00:27:12,440
Speaker 1: upstart Texans, a game that was a dead heat at halftime,

572
00:27:12,560 --> 00:27:16,200
Speaker 1: and then the Ravens showed who was who.

573
00:27:18,160 --> 00:27:21,480
Speaker 2: It's Lamar, kill him holding itself, runs to the left,

574
00:27:21,520 --> 00:27:21,879
Speaker 2: hat to.

575
00:27:21,920 --> 00:27:24,719
Speaker 4: The parn Glamar in touchdown.

576
00:27:24,880 --> 00:27:28,720
Speaker 5: Ravens were get out a championship game in Botidar because

577
00:27:28,760 --> 00:27:30,840
Speaker 5: that hate the barn.

578
00:27:31,000 --> 00:27:35,480
Speaker 4: Lamar just ran through the tunnel. Here in the locker room.

579
00:27:35,800 --> 00:27:38,080
Speaker 2: He went, bo Jackson, He's still up the tunnel.

580
00:27:39,960 --> 00:27:41,760
Speaker 4: And I was getting ready to say there's no way

581
00:27:41,760 --> 00:27:44,480
Speaker 4: they can run this boot again. And they did it.

582
00:27:45,720 --> 00:27:48,920
Speaker 1: Oh, you can do it when you're the Ravens who

583
00:27:49,200 --> 00:27:53,080
Speaker 1: just punished and do what they want. And good job

584
00:27:53,200 --> 00:27:55,720
Speaker 1: Jerry Sandusky and Rod Woodson w b A L. Because

585
00:27:55,760 --> 00:28:01,399
Speaker 1: of course old fogies, No, that's Jackson running up the

586
00:28:01,440 --> 00:28:05,400
Speaker 1: tunnel against the Seahawks in eighty seven. On Monday Night Football,

587
00:28:05,680 --> 00:28:09,080
Speaker 1: Lamar with a nice tribute in a thirty four to

588
00:28:09,240 --> 00:28:12,120
Speaker 1: ten win over the Texans. Like I said, this game

589
00:28:12,200 --> 00:28:15,720
Speaker 1: was ten ten at the half mark Sessler, but then

590
00:28:16,720 --> 00:28:21,480
Speaker 1: the Ravens came out flawlessly execute a go ahead touchdown

591
00:28:21,560 --> 00:28:25,440
Speaker 1: drive and they just never look back. In fact, they

592
00:28:25,480 --> 00:28:28,600
Speaker 1: never gave up a touchdown on defense. The only score

593
00:28:28,640 --> 00:28:31,120
Speaker 1: for the Houston was a punt return for the first half.

594
00:28:32,520 --> 00:28:37,000
Speaker 2: I thought this game was a perfect portrait of how

595
00:28:37,040 --> 00:28:41,560
Speaker 2: complete the Ravens have become. If it was a situation

596
00:28:41,640 --> 00:28:43,360
Speaker 2: where early in the year they were warming up on

597
00:28:43,480 --> 00:28:48,680
Speaker 2: offense and learning the system, this was an absolute exclamation

598
00:28:48,800 --> 00:28:52,440
Speaker 2: point of how dominant they can be. And like I

599
00:28:52,480 --> 00:28:54,280
Speaker 2: honestly think they played a team that's going to be

600
00:28:54,320 --> 00:28:57,000
Speaker 2: around for many years to come in the Texans with CJ.

601
00:28:57,080 --> 00:28:58,080
Speaker 4: Stroud. CJ.

602
00:28:58,160 --> 00:29:00,920
Speaker 2: Stroud faced more pressure in this game than he has

603
00:29:00,920 --> 00:29:03,200
Speaker 2: in any other game of his career, and it looked

604
00:29:03,240 --> 00:29:05,440
Speaker 2: like it. And I just mentioned that the Bills, in

605
00:29:05,480 --> 00:29:08,360
Speaker 2: a losing effort, had the ball for thirty seven plus minutes.

606
00:29:08,760 --> 00:29:11,560
Speaker 2: The Ravens had it for seven plus minutes in this

607
00:29:11,880 --> 00:29:13,440
Speaker 2: because they were able to run the ball for two

608
00:29:13,560 --> 00:29:17,360
Speaker 2: hundred and twenty nine yards, because Lamar Jackson was magical

609
00:29:17,400 --> 00:29:19,720
Speaker 2: on the ground, because he was nearly flawless through the air,

610
00:29:19,960 --> 00:29:23,360
Speaker 2: because their defense absolutely choked the life out of the

611
00:29:23,400 --> 00:29:26,200
Speaker 2: Houston Texans and made what looked like a special passing

612
00:29:26,240 --> 00:29:28,120
Speaker 2: game under Bobby Slowick and CJ.

613
00:29:28,200 --> 00:29:29,280
Speaker 4: Stroud a week ago.

614
00:29:29,320 --> 00:29:32,560
Speaker 2: Looked completely lost at sea for the entirety of the

615
00:29:32,600 --> 00:29:35,040
Speaker 2: second half, because yes, it was ten ten big special

616
00:29:35,080 --> 00:29:38,080
Speaker 2: teams played for the Texans, and Lamar Jackson talked about

617
00:29:38,360 --> 00:29:41,200
Speaker 2: going into the locker room at halftime and refusing to

618
00:29:41,240 --> 00:29:43,800
Speaker 2: tell the public what he said because it was filled

619
00:29:43,840 --> 00:29:45,400
Speaker 2: with too much language that a.

620
00:29:45,440 --> 00:29:46,280
Speaker 4: Sailor would speak.

621
00:29:46,720 --> 00:29:48,960
Speaker 2: And I mean, I think that says a lot about

622
00:29:49,040 --> 00:29:51,880
Speaker 2: Lamar Jackson versus him a couple of years ago. And Greg,

623
00:29:52,320 --> 00:29:54,320
Speaker 2: it was way back in like week four or five

624
00:29:54,680 --> 00:29:56,840
Speaker 2: that you talked about the Ravens as a Super Bowl team,

625
00:29:57,280 --> 00:29:59,600
Speaker 2: and I thought this was maybe Greg being a little

626
00:29:59,680 --> 00:30:02,400
Speaker 2: hyper about his lam army and all that business. But

627
00:30:02,920 --> 00:30:07,960
Speaker 2: they look completely impressive from every angle and they absolutely

628
00:30:08,080 --> 00:30:10,440
Speaker 2: proved I thought against the Texans that it really doesn't

629
00:30:10,480 --> 00:30:12,920
Speaker 2: matter who they play, They're gonna be who they are.

630
00:30:13,240 --> 00:30:15,920
Speaker 3: I would love to hear that halftime speech. And it's funny.

631
00:30:16,000 --> 00:30:17,800
Speaker 3: This game actually did remind me of that. The game

632
00:30:17,840 --> 00:30:20,040
Speaker 3: in London we saw a little bit in the sense

633
00:30:20,040 --> 00:30:21,680
Speaker 3: that there's a lot of Ravens games like this where

634
00:30:22,240 --> 00:30:25,320
Speaker 3: it's like, not that impressive for a while, and just

635
00:30:25,560 --> 00:30:28,880
Speaker 3: steadily they just smother you. Just every little aspect of

636
00:30:28,920 --> 00:30:31,520
Speaker 3: the team smothers you, and then sudden you look up

637
00:30:31,560 --> 00:30:33,200
Speaker 3: at the end of the game and you're like, actually,

638
00:30:33,240 --> 00:30:36,480
Speaker 3: that was never really a game they took over. And

639
00:30:36,520 --> 00:30:38,280
Speaker 3: part of it is they just have answers. They have

640
00:30:38,320 --> 00:30:42,760
Speaker 3: answers with personnel like Flowers running some big boy routes there,

641
00:30:43,640 --> 00:30:47,440
Speaker 3: likely turning into a great red zone threat. Obviously, Lamar

642
00:30:47,520 --> 00:30:50,520
Speaker 3: has almost a perfect game sixteen for twenty two for

643
00:30:50,560 --> 00:30:52,920
Speaker 3: one fifty two and then one hundred yards on the ground,

644
00:30:53,000 --> 00:30:53,800
Speaker 3: just like no mistakes.

645
00:30:53,800 --> 00:30:55,400
Speaker 1: But it was one of the best all around games

646
00:30:55,400 --> 00:30:56,480
Speaker 1: from a quarterback you've ever seen.

647
00:30:56,480 --> 00:30:57,160
Speaker 4: The play right.

648
00:30:58,000 --> 00:30:59,680
Speaker 3: It kind of reminded him Mahomes game today because if

649
00:30:59,680 --> 00:31:01,160
Speaker 3: you just look at the box scords, like it wouldn't

650
00:31:01,160 --> 00:31:03,400
Speaker 3: seem that crazy other than the one hundred yards rushing.

651
00:31:03,840 --> 00:31:07,000
Speaker 3: But I also think they have answered defensively. Like Monkin

652
00:31:08,200 --> 00:31:09,880
Speaker 3: knew that the Blitz was giving them trouble in the

653
00:31:09,920 --> 00:31:12,520
Speaker 3: first half, they just knew exactly what to do to

654
00:31:12,680 --> 00:31:14,880
Speaker 3: it in the second half. Those adjustments Lamar made him,

655
00:31:15,440 --> 00:31:17,320
Speaker 3: Monkin made him, and I don't think that was gonna

656
00:31:17,320 --> 00:31:20,400
Speaker 3: happen with Greg Roman there and McDonald being their defensive coordinator.

657
00:31:20,480 --> 00:31:22,120
Speaker 3: I don't think it would have been as complete with

658
00:31:22,280 --> 00:31:24,520
Speaker 3: Don Martindale there. So they did a really good job.

659
00:31:24,600 --> 00:31:26,960
Speaker 3: Just personnel coaches. Everything right now is humming.

660
00:31:28,360 --> 00:31:30,640
Speaker 1: Yes, So when you have Lamar playing at this level

661
00:31:30,760 --> 00:31:32,880
Speaker 1: and playing this confident and the running game humming the

662
00:31:32,920 --> 00:31:33,160
Speaker 1: way it.

663
00:31:33,280 --> 00:31:35,360
Speaker 4: Is, they're going to be very difficult to beat.

664
00:31:36,520 --> 00:31:40,440
Speaker 1: It's my big takeaway from the games was the defense,

665
00:31:40,600 --> 00:31:43,480
Speaker 1: and you know how I think it was. I got

666
00:31:43,600 --> 00:31:46,880
Speaker 1: to give credit to Mark. You're a cinophile who who

667
00:31:46,960 --> 00:31:51,400
Speaker 1: directed twenty eight days later. Well, Danny Boyle, Oh, Jenny,

668
00:31:51,760 --> 00:31:52,960
Speaker 1: but I wish you would have known that off the

669
00:31:53,000 --> 00:31:53,440
Speaker 1: top of your head.

670
00:31:53,480 --> 00:31:53,920
Speaker 4: I do too.

671
00:31:54,040 --> 00:31:56,320
Speaker 2: I love open questions on a show that thousands of

672
00:31:56,320 --> 00:31:57,120
Speaker 2: people are listening to.

673
00:31:57,760 --> 00:31:59,880
Speaker 1: Danny Boyle directed a movie in two thousand and two,

674
00:32:00,000 --> 00:32:03,960
Speaker 1: call twenty eight days later, a classic zombie apocalypse film

675
00:32:04,320 --> 00:32:06,840
Speaker 1: with a twist. All of a sudden, the zombies, who

676
00:32:06,920 --> 00:32:12,520
Speaker 1: you remember throughout pop culture history being kind of slow, lumbering,

677
00:32:12,920 --> 00:32:15,719
Speaker 1: kind of unstoppable, but easily you could run past them

678
00:32:15,760 --> 00:32:17,240
Speaker 1: and run around them. You could bunk them on the

679
00:32:17,280 --> 00:32:21,080
Speaker 1: head of the two by four. These zombies were fast,

680
00:32:21,600 --> 00:32:24,800
Speaker 1: and they come at you in waves and gangs, and

681
00:32:24,840 --> 00:32:27,800
Speaker 1: they're horrifying the zombies, and it starts started a whole

682
00:32:27,880 --> 00:32:30,720
Speaker 1: new way of looking at them in that genre. That's

683
00:32:30,720 --> 00:32:33,000
Speaker 1: how I look at this Ravens defense, the way they

684
00:32:33,240 --> 00:32:36,360
Speaker 1: swarm with speed and power, and even if the first

685
00:32:36,400 --> 00:32:39,360
Speaker 1: guy misses the tackle, the second guy's coming right behind him,

686
00:32:39,400 --> 00:32:41,040
Speaker 1: If he dodges out of that guy, the third guy

687
00:32:41,120 --> 00:32:41,719
Speaker 1: wallops him.

688
00:32:42,040 --> 00:32:44,080
Speaker 4: And you saw that over and over and over.

689
00:32:44,280 --> 00:32:47,400
Speaker 1: Houston could not get a clean look, could not get

690
00:32:47,400 --> 00:32:50,000
Speaker 1: into the open field, could not make a play, and yeah,

691
00:32:50,080 --> 00:32:53,600
Speaker 1: they just suffocated their offense, an offense that was kicking ass.

692
00:32:54,520 --> 00:32:56,440
Speaker 2: Going into this, I would note that Danny Boyle did

693
00:32:56,520 --> 00:32:59,680
Speaker 2: train spotting as well, and that film those zombies run

694
00:32:59,760 --> 00:33:02,600
Speaker 2: hair when the Ravens do not appear to be have

695
00:33:02,720 --> 00:33:05,000
Speaker 2: heroin in their bloodstream, Thank you.

696
00:33:05,440 --> 00:33:07,480
Speaker 4: That's my comment. I love that one too.

697
00:33:07,880 --> 00:33:10,080
Speaker 3: There is there is something about like, I don't know

698
00:33:10,120 --> 00:33:13,320
Speaker 3: what's in the water there in Baltimore, what Mike Donald's doing,

699
00:33:13,360 --> 00:33:15,600
Speaker 3: because yeah, they have guys like Arthur Mallett.

700
00:33:15,720 --> 00:33:18,200
Speaker 4: I'm sorry one second, were there zombies and trainspoting now?

701
00:33:18,200 --> 00:33:19,080
Speaker 4: But no, I'm saying they were.

702
00:33:19,200 --> 00:33:20,840
Speaker 2: They were all on at Arrow, you know, like right

703
00:33:21,000 --> 00:33:24,200
Speaker 2: right lost zombies, Yeah, a different type of zone.

704
00:33:24,200 --> 00:33:26,160
Speaker 4: I felt you go ahead, thank you, great movie.

705
00:33:27,200 --> 00:33:32,880
Speaker 2: Great literal zombies, yes, and twenty eight days later, literal zombies.

706
00:33:32,960 --> 00:33:33,080
Speaker 4: Yes.

707
00:33:33,480 --> 00:33:39,120
Speaker 1: They they the drug right, that metaphoric but the slow

708
00:33:39,200 --> 00:33:39,920
Speaker 1: lumbering zombies.

709
00:33:39,960 --> 00:33:41,320
Speaker 4: But in Baltimore, it's.

710
00:33:41,200 --> 00:33:42,560
Speaker 3: Like, oh ahead, you give a little bit of that

711
00:33:42,680 --> 00:33:45,360
Speaker 3: zombie juice to Mallet, you give a little bit to Clowney,

712
00:33:45,680 --> 00:33:49,480
Speaker 3: and instead of like getting you know, trashed and quitting

713
00:33:49,560 --> 00:33:51,200
Speaker 3: on your team at the end of the season, it's

714
00:33:51,280 --> 00:33:52,000
Speaker 3: like zombies.

715
00:33:52,080 --> 00:33:53,200
Speaker 4: Is there a quick twitch monster?

716
00:33:53,640 --> 00:33:56,280
Speaker 3: Cloudy's at your lap all game. Matdam Bka had a

717
00:33:56,360 --> 00:33:58,520
Speaker 3: great game. He just kept winning that matchup over and

718
00:33:58,600 --> 00:34:01,880
Speaker 3: over and over. That was against Shackson for the most part,

719
00:34:02,160 --> 00:34:04,280
Speaker 3: and I'm with you. They just kept throwing so many

720
00:34:04,360 --> 00:34:07,040
Speaker 3: different looks. Actually, a halftime that the Texans had a

721
00:34:07,320 --> 00:34:09,600
Speaker 3: more yards on offense than the Ravens because they had

722
00:34:09,640 --> 00:34:12,920
Speaker 3: that one decent drive that they ended up settling for

723
00:34:13,040 --> 00:34:15,880
Speaker 3: a field goal. But for the most part, it was

724
00:34:16,080 --> 00:34:19,600
Speaker 3: just good night. And then eventually, like the play calling,

725
00:34:19,719 --> 00:34:22,359
Speaker 3: I really was impressed that that that call we heard

726
00:34:22,760 --> 00:34:25,800
Speaker 3: with Lamar where they kind of do the end around

727
00:34:25,880 --> 00:34:29,200
Speaker 3: but they have Ronnie Stanley pulling and it's like a misdirection.

728
00:34:29,480 --> 00:34:33,120
Speaker 3: They ran that twice just to perfection the likely touchdown

729
00:34:33,560 --> 00:34:35,799
Speaker 3: on an RPO. I mean, that was It's been such

730
00:34:35,840 --> 00:34:38,400
Speaker 3: a huge contributor. That was a beautiful play call too,

731
00:34:38,560 --> 00:34:40,719
Speaker 3: that like what can you do there? Everyone is out

732
00:34:40,760 --> 00:34:43,120
Speaker 3: there blocking on the edge. Lamar probably could have run

733
00:34:43,160 --> 00:34:45,319
Speaker 3: it in, but instead he throws it to Likely, who

734
00:34:45,360 --> 00:34:48,640
Speaker 3: makes these great catches. They might get Andrews back and

735
00:34:48,920 --> 00:34:49,440
Speaker 3: and Chiefs.

736
00:34:49,719 --> 00:34:53,360
Speaker 1: Chiefs will be a very because because Likely is a

737
00:34:53,520 --> 00:34:54,680
Speaker 1: legitimate yes player.

738
00:34:55,120 --> 00:34:56,359
Speaker 4: No, you can use use both.

739
00:34:56,440 --> 00:34:59,800
Speaker 1: You know, let's listen to John Harbaugh, who has the

740
00:35:00,400 --> 00:35:02,200
Speaker 1: a man that's going to be named MVP in a

741
00:35:02,239 --> 00:35:04,239
Speaker 1: couple of weeks and maybe be playing in the Super

742
00:35:04,239 --> 00:35:05,239
Speaker 1: Bowl a couple days after that.

743
00:35:05,880 --> 00:35:07,600
Speaker 9: I thought Lamar was gonna play great, but he's played

744
00:35:07,600 --> 00:35:10,319
Speaker 9: great all year, you know, and just now it's it's

745
00:35:10,360 --> 00:35:13,200
Speaker 9: more important than ever. He's been locked in from day one.

746
00:35:13,680 --> 00:35:16,480
Speaker 9: That's his term, and we've all kind of ran with that,

747
00:35:16,560 --> 00:35:19,359
Speaker 9: and I think he's he's he's directed this whole thing.

748
00:35:19,440 --> 00:35:21,319
Speaker 9: But like he said, we got we got more work

749
00:35:21,360 --> 00:35:21,520
Speaker 9: to do.

750
00:35:22,120 --> 00:35:24,560
Speaker 2: It is a lesson, I think, to the entire league

751
00:35:24,640 --> 00:35:28,680
Speaker 2: because it looks more mystifying than ever that we spent

752
00:35:29,000 --> 00:35:32,400
Speaker 2: the majority of the offseason wondering if the Ravens wanted

753
00:35:32,440 --> 00:35:36,080
Speaker 2: to keep Lamar Jackson, if they if they were planning to,

754
00:35:36,239 --> 00:35:38,120
Speaker 2: or if they thought maybe they would free themselves, and

755
00:35:38,200 --> 00:35:40,760
Speaker 2: no other team in the league, including the Atlanta Falcons,

756
00:35:40,800 --> 00:35:44,000
Speaker 2: most noticeably, like really pursued Lamar Jackson.

757
00:35:44,239 --> 00:35:45,840
Speaker 1: He was sort of a man that like, we've covering

758
00:35:45,920 --> 00:35:49,680
Speaker 1: some bonkers offseasons, crazy that one will forever stand out,

759
00:35:49,760 --> 00:35:52,720
Speaker 1: and I feel like, you know, even in the moment

760
00:35:53,400 --> 00:35:55,920
Speaker 1: and on this show, if you go back, we were

761
00:35:55,960 --> 00:35:57,840
Speaker 1: all a little puzzled, especially some of the teams that

762
00:35:57,920 --> 00:36:00,239
Speaker 1: were choosing to make statements and let it you know

763
00:36:00,320 --> 00:36:03,200
Speaker 1: that they weren't interested. Teams that had quarterbacks like Desmond Ritter.

764
00:36:03,360 --> 00:36:05,520
Speaker 1: I mean, like, no, we're not interested in that business.

765
00:36:05,800 --> 00:36:08,480
Speaker 1: But this is now turned into the kind of worst

766
00:36:08,520 --> 00:36:11,400
Speaker 1: case scenario for all those teams because it's almost now

767
00:36:11,840 --> 00:36:13,440
Speaker 1: gonna be if this team ends up going all the

768
00:36:13,480 --> 00:36:16,440
Speaker 1: way that's legendary, like the where that was in summer.

769
00:36:16,960 --> 00:36:18,600
Speaker 1: But also the Ravens kind of catch a break too

770
00:36:18,680 --> 00:36:22,080
Speaker 1: unless they were playing you know, chess when everyone else

771
00:36:22,160 --> 00:36:24,319
Speaker 1: was playing checkers. Like if another team had the good

772
00:36:24,400 --> 00:36:26,479
Speaker 1: sense to go hard after Lamar, you would have lost

773
00:36:26,560 --> 00:36:28,239
Speaker 1: this guy that's about to get you to the super

774
00:36:28,239 --> 00:36:29,160
Speaker 1: Bowl potentially, right.

775
00:36:29,239 --> 00:36:31,960
Speaker 3: I keep I've seen tweets from like Adam Schefter where

776
00:36:31,960 --> 00:36:34,200
Speaker 3: it was like where they make it out like, oh,

777
00:36:34,239 --> 00:36:36,480
Speaker 3: the Ravens were never gonna let them let him go.

778
00:36:36,560 --> 00:36:39,640
Speaker 3: It's like, well, what if they just front loaded it upright,

779
00:36:39,800 --> 00:36:42,279
Speaker 3: poison pilled the massive armor and they were willing to

780
00:36:42,320 --> 00:36:43,839
Speaker 3: give up two first round picks?

781
00:36:43,880 --> 00:36:44,640
Speaker 4: Are you sure about that?

782
00:36:44,719 --> 00:36:47,239
Speaker 3: And more to the point, whether they fully guaranteed it

783
00:36:47,360 --> 00:36:49,759
Speaker 3: And it's a conversation for another day, But to me,

784
00:36:50,640 --> 00:36:52,640
Speaker 3: there is a level of quarterback and I would put

785
00:36:52,719 --> 00:36:55,520
Speaker 3: Lamar Jackson at this level where it's like, just guarantee

786
00:36:55,560 --> 00:36:59,240
Speaker 3: the contract if it's like four years. Josh, Josh Allen

787
00:36:59,680 --> 00:37:03,320
Speaker 3: and Patrick Mahomes and Joe Burrow and Lamar and c. J.

788
00:37:03,400 --> 00:37:03,680
Speaker 4: Strout.

789
00:37:03,680 --> 00:37:05,319
Speaker 3: Of these guys, they're going to get to those four

790
00:37:05,400 --> 00:37:07,200
Speaker 3: or five years. They will be on the team for

791
00:37:07,280 --> 00:37:09,040
Speaker 3: those four years to just guarantee them the money.

792
00:37:09,080 --> 00:37:11,440
Speaker 1: Anyways, it's not that big of a It's a brutal sports,

793
00:37:11,560 --> 00:37:12,400
Speaker 1: that's what I get it.

794
00:37:12,760 --> 00:37:13,759
Speaker 4: Higher level of danger that.

795
00:37:13,719 --> 00:37:17,480
Speaker 1: There's the sports they're sort of like there are that

796
00:37:17,640 --> 00:37:20,680
Speaker 1: sort of a catastrophic injury near one of the contracts.

797
00:37:20,680 --> 00:37:23,640
Speaker 3: I just mean, there are catastrophic injuries in basketball and

798
00:37:23,719 --> 00:37:27,560
Speaker 3: baseball all the time too, and they survive giving out

799
00:37:27,840 --> 00:37:30,160
Speaker 3: massive Like I'm just saying a four year contract for

800
00:37:30,400 --> 00:37:31,160
Speaker 3: a quarterback.

801
00:37:31,280 --> 00:37:32,759
Speaker 4: If someone had done that, they could have had them.

802
00:37:32,800 --> 00:37:34,839
Speaker 2: There is one thing about the Ravens that I thought

803
00:37:35,800 --> 00:37:38,719
Speaker 2: stands with me going into next week's game, that there

804
00:37:38,840 --> 00:37:40,480
Speaker 2: was a lot of talk about a the fact that

805
00:37:40,560 --> 00:37:42,720
Speaker 2: Lamar Jackson and the Ravens have crumbled in the playoffs

806
00:37:42,760 --> 00:37:45,080
Speaker 2: no matter what the regular season looked like, and they

807
00:37:45,160 --> 00:37:47,560
Speaker 2: had this extra rest and would they come out flat

808
00:37:47,840 --> 00:37:50,000
Speaker 2: And they did come out flat, Like their final three

809
00:37:50,120 --> 00:37:53,400
Speaker 2: drives in the first half, three punts were for negative

810
00:37:53,480 --> 00:37:56,799
Speaker 2: seven net yards. And it's like psychologically is that when

811
00:37:56,840 --> 00:37:58,800
Speaker 2: the Ravens can be broken by a young team with

812
00:37:58,920 --> 00:38:02,000
Speaker 2: nothing to lose and to come out three straight touchdowns

813
00:38:02,000 --> 00:38:03,399
Speaker 2: in a field goal, It's like cool.

814
00:38:03,480 --> 00:38:05,279
Speaker 4: I think this Ravens team is different.

815
00:38:05,040 --> 00:38:07,240
Speaker 1: And you probably had a great Troy had it pegged.

816
00:38:07,800 --> 00:38:09,919
Speaker 1: He said before the kickoff the start the third quarter.

817
00:38:10,239 --> 00:38:12,400
Speaker 1: This is a very important drive, right, you gotta go

818
00:38:12,520 --> 00:38:14,640
Speaker 1: and get a touchdown and kind of shut down that

819
00:38:14,920 --> 00:38:17,640
Speaker 1: energy as it were, and I think they absolutely did.

820
00:38:17,680 --> 00:38:21,239
Speaker 1: Here's Demiko O Ryans, who obviously did a tremendous job

821
00:38:21,320 --> 00:38:24,640
Speaker 1: as a rookie head coach, and he does have a

822
00:38:24,760 --> 00:38:25,799
Speaker 1: right future with this team.

823
00:38:26,480 --> 00:38:30,160
Speaker 4: Only the future has to wait until September for them.

824
00:38:30,840 --> 00:38:34,600
Speaker 4: Think our team learns that we know we're right there

825
00:38:34,800 --> 00:38:36,200
Speaker 4: at halftime, answer right.

826
00:38:36,160 --> 00:38:37,960
Speaker 10: So they know they were toe to toe was a

827
00:38:38,000 --> 00:38:40,960
Speaker 10: really good team. And I hope our team just understands

828
00:38:41,000 --> 00:38:45,440
Speaker 10: that moving forward right at all calls, you gotta finish right,

829
00:38:45,480 --> 00:38:48,000
Speaker 10: and you want to continue to move forward, continue to

830
00:38:48,040 --> 00:38:51,120
Speaker 10: play in big games, It'll always be about executing and finishing.

831
00:38:51,280 --> 00:38:53,319
Speaker 1: I see why you want to stand with that man

832
00:38:53,560 --> 00:38:56,759
Speaker 1: and lock up a game and a team coach by

833
00:38:56,800 --> 00:38:57,080
Speaker 1: that man.

834
00:38:57,280 --> 00:38:59,560
Speaker 4: Yeah, well he's only a few years removed from being

835
00:38:59,600 --> 00:39:01,280
Speaker 4: on a team. So but it was a mistake.

836
00:39:02,440 --> 00:39:05,279
Speaker 2: It I don't think so ultimately, because I was doing

837
00:39:05,360 --> 00:39:07,040
Speaker 2: it a for the show and B to you know

838
00:39:07,360 --> 00:39:07,840
Speaker 2: that that was.

839
00:39:07,880 --> 00:39:10,000
Speaker 4: A mistake in the sense that, yeah, locked up a team.

840
00:39:09,800 --> 00:39:12,000
Speaker 2: Though well, I you know, if I lose, that clearly

841
00:39:12,120 --> 00:39:12,600
Speaker 2: is a mistake.

842
00:39:12,719 --> 00:39:15,600
Speaker 4: So they were also like ten point underdogs.

843
00:39:16,719 --> 00:39:20,600
Speaker 2: It was it was, perhaps from a logical standpoint, misguided.

844
00:39:20,640 --> 00:39:21,959
Speaker 2: I understand where you're coming from.

845
00:39:21,920 --> 00:39:25,279
Speaker 1: And I conversely locked the other team. I understand that,

846
00:39:25,400 --> 00:39:27,200
Speaker 1: but that's why I did what I did. And the

847
00:39:27,320 --> 00:39:30,960
Speaker 1: second half standings are just tightening up. Greg he's getting

848
00:39:30,960 --> 00:39:32,480
Speaker 1: a little noivous. We'll see how he did in his

849
00:39:32,600 --> 00:39:33,399
Speaker 1: lock a little bit later.

850
00:39:33,480 --> 00:39:37,919
Speaker 2: Erase nobody outside of yourself, Ryan's they're gonna be great

851
00:39:37,960 --> 00:39:38,319
Speaker 2: for a while.

852
00:39:38,440 --> 00:39:44,200
Speaker 3: Like they have their premium positions really well covered. If

853
00:39:44,239 --> 00:39:46,839
Speaker 3: you think about like lermy tons of left tackle all

854
00:39:46,920 --> 00:39:51,160
Speaker 3: pro TJ stroud Enough said, maybe the most valuable contract

855
00:39:51,200 --> 00:39:53,279
Speaker 3: in the league, if you think about it, because he's

856
00:39:53,280 --> 00:39:55,239
Speaker 3: got three more years on this rookie deal and he's

857
00:39:55,239 --> 00:39:57,279
Speaker 3: already this good and I thought he played pretty well.

858
00:39:57,320 --> 00:39:59,040
Speaker 3: I know, it sounds crazy. They only scored three points

859
00:39:59,200 --> 00:40:01,800
Speaker 3: He did not have a bad game Sunday. He actually

860
00:40:01,840 --> 00:40:04,520
Speaker 3: made your Saturday. He made a lot of throws against pressure.

861
00:40:04,600 --> 00:40:06,800
Speaker 3: He had virtually no chance. But I was curious.

862
00:40:06,840 --> 00:40:08,400
Speaker 4: I went to check the PFF scar but I was like,

863
00:40:08,480 --> 00:40:09,680
Speaker 4: I bet it's not that bad. And it's not. It

864
00:40:09,800 --> 00:40:12,200
Speaker 4: wasn't it's not good, but it's just like a solid

865
00:40:12,239 --> 00:40:13,880
Speaker 4: Well he doesn't turn the ball over, right.

866
00:40:14,080 --> 00:40:16,680
Speaker 1: Get banked l back right, Get Derek Henry maybe in

867
00:40:16,719 --> 00:40:17,640
Speaker 1: the backfield next year.

868
00:40:17,760 --> 00:40:17,880
Speaker 4: Right.

869
00:40:18,600 --> 00:40:21,960
Speaker 3: Okay, So you got the receivers, you got Stingley who

870
00:40:22,080 --> 00:40:26,360
Speaker 3: came on like a house on fire. You have a

871
00:40:26,440 --> 00:40:28,600
Speaker 3: lot of the premium positions. Grenard is a free agent,

872
00:40:28,640 --> 00:40:31,160
Speaker 3: but we'll see maybe the franchise tagment and will Anderson

873
00:40:31,200 --> 00:40:33,360
Speaker 3: at the edge, like a lot of the big time positions.

874
00:40:33,440 --> 00:40:34,560
Speaker 4: They're set for a while.

875
00:40:34,600 --> 00:40:36,840
Speaker 3: And then he showed he took all these guys that

876
00:40:36,920 --> 00:40:41,240
Speaker 3: were after thoughts elsewhere, Desmond King, Cashman Barnett, Christian Harris,

877
00:40:41,280 --> 00:40:43,160
Speaker 3: who was the second year player who stunk as a rookie.

878
00:40:43,200 --> 00:40:44,919
Speaker 4: It's like he made all those guys better.

879
00:40:45,080 --> 00:40:49,080
Speaker 3: I mean they usually I pushed back on the like, well,

880
00:40:49,200 --> 00:40:51,040
Speaker 3: there's gonna be set up for the future. I pushed

881
00:40:51,040 --> 00:40:52,839
Speaker 3: back on the Jags last year, I wasn't just sure

882
00:40:52,960 --> 00:40:55,240
Speaker 3: like this team is the team in the AFC.

883
00:40:55,560 --> 00:40:57,919
Speaker 4: The only problem though, I think you've got a great

884
00:40:57,920 --> 00:40:58,359
Speaker 4: head coach.

885
00:40:58,440 --> 00:41:01,160
Speaker 2: But when you're defensive minded and like Bobby Slowick's taking

886
00:41:01,200 --> 00:41:03,360
Speaker 2: interviews left and right, it's like you don't want to

887
00:41:03,719 --> 00:41:06,960
Speaker 2: have CJ. Stroud's offensive coordinator switching every year or two

888
00:41:07,440 --> 00:41:09,080
Speaker 2: over the course of this rookie contract.

889
00:41:09,920 --> 00:41:12,839
Speaker 1: And let's see, just checking the Deshaun Watson trade, they

890
00:41:12,880 --> 00:41:16,640
Speaker 1: do have the twenty third overall pick from the Cleveland Browns,

891
00:41:16,680 --> 00:41:18,840
Speaker 1: so they get a first round pick. They sent a

892
00:41:18,880 --> 00:41:22,480
Speaker 1: first round pick to Arizona to get Will Anderson. Yeah,

893
00:41:22,480 --> 00:41:25,120
Speaker 1: Will Anderson, there you go, Thank you, Greg and Yes.

894
00:41:25,360 --> 00:41:30,160
Speaker 1: Chiefs at Ravens Mahomes b Lamar next.

895
00:41:30,000 --> 00:41:32,040
Speaker 4: Sunday, a new one.

896
00:41:33,600 --> 00:41:35,520
Speaker 1: That's a new one for the playoffs, and a playoff

897
00:41:35,600 --> 00:41:38,000
Speaker 1: set is that has been very difficult to pick because

898
00:41:38,000 --> 00:41:39,799
Speaker 1: the matchups have all felt pretty even up.

899
00:41:39,920 --> 00:41:43,120
Speaker 2: And that's as loud as Baltimore has been crowd wise

900
00:41:43,760 --> 00:41:45,680
Speaker 2: in a long time, and they quietly have not like

901
00:41:46,040 --> 00:41:48,040
Speaker 2: you have to go back to like twenty twelve when

902
00:41:48,080 --> 00:41:50,000
Speaker 2: they got to a AFC title game.

903
00:41:50,040 --> 00:41:53,280
Speaker 3: Well, this is literally the Ravens first ever home AFC

904
00:41:53,440 --> 00:41:55,040
Speaker 3: Championship game, which I was surprised you.

905
00:41:55,239 --> 00:41:57,480
Speaker 1: Right, first since nineteen seventy when they were the Baltimore

906
00:41:57,600 --> 00:42:02,399
Speaker 1: Cults at Live without the r ave Ns Ravens chap.

907
00:42:03,280 --> 00:42:06,240
Speaker 1: That's a little that's ip that came from Flushing Queens

908
00:42:07,160 --> 00:42:08,040
Speaker 1: in the early seventies.

909
00:42:08,200 --> 00:42:10,520
Speaker 4: Just fyi, it's fair comment.

910
00:42:11,760 --> 00:42:14,120
Speaker 3: Remember they were doing play like a raven when Rex

911
00:42:14,239 --> 00:42:15,600
Speaker 3: Ryan was there or something like that.

912
00:42:16,000 --> 00:42:19,560
Speaker 1: That was bar Well, all right, let's take a break

913
00:42:19,640 --> 00:42:29,560
Speaker 1: and then we'll hit the other two games. Right, Welcome

914
00:42:29,680 --> 00:42:35,520
Speaker 1: back to around the NFL, the divisional recap, the flagship program.

915
00:42:36,239 --> 00:42:39,000
Speaker 4: So yeah, that is the AFC.

916
00:42:39,400 --> 00:42:43,160
Speaker 1: Now let's turn to the other side of things, the NFC,

917
00:42:43,560 --> 00:42:46,399
Speaker 1: and it's time now for the Sunday Drive presented by

918
00:42:46,480 --> 00:42:51,320
Speaker 1: the first ever Toyota Grand Highlander. Yes, the San Francisco

919
00:42:51,400 --> 00:42:53,359
Speaker 1: forty nine Ers. It feels like it's been a month

920
00:42:53,400 --> 00:42:55,040
Speaker 1: since we've seen them on the field. It's been about

921
00:42:55,040 --> 00:42:58,120
Speaker 1: three weeks since they had their full squad out there competing,

922
00:42:58,480 --> 00:43:01,239
Speaker 1: and they got another upstart even the Packers, who were

923
00:43:01,360 --> 00:43:06,359
Speaker 1: upset minded, but unlike the Houston Texans, they were up

924
00:43:06,440 --> 00:43:07,160
Speaker 1: for the challenge.

925
00:43:07,520 --> 00:43:12,480
Speaker 4: The Niners who it was tight first and ten Green Bay.

926
00:43:12,880 --> 00:43:15,719
Speaker 5: They have two timeouts left on the shotgun deep trop

927
00:43:15,960 --> 00:43:18,400
Speaker 5: Prussia gets chased out to us like we'll throw on

928
00:43:18,480 --> 00:43:23,000
Speaker 5: the run back us in our set before drake ring

929
00:43:23,120 --> 00:43:26,719
Speaker 5: ball running back the other way, secure the ball the

930
00:43:26,920 --> 00:43:27,960
Speaker 5: run back the other way.

931
00:43:28,000 --> 00:43:30,600
Speaker 4: They're trying to strip it right, a big play Dray

932
00:43:31,040 --> 00:43:34,440
Speaker 4: comes down. Green Bay has two time outs left, but

933
00:43:34,600 --> 00:43:37,040
Speaker 4: the forty nine Ers have the football.

934
00:43:37,719 --> 00:43:40,399
Speaker 1: Oh my good gun, goodness, good call there by Greg

935
00:43:40,480 --> 00:43:46,239
Speaker 1: Pope can br if Dre fumbles that ball and it

936
00:43:46,320 --> 00:43:49,480
Speaker 1: gets recovered by the Packers and then the Packers going

937
00:43:49,520 --> 00:43:51,120
Speaker 1: to win. I mean that would have been one of

938
00:43:51,160 --> 00:43:54,200
Speaker 1: the more devastating stay down kid.

939
00:43:54,600 --> 00:43:54,799
Speaker 4: Yeah.

940
00:43:56,600 --> 00:44:00,359
Speaker 1: Anyway, it all worked out, uh for the line backer

941
00:44:00,440 --> 00:44:03,520
Speaker 1: and also for his team, the San Francisco forty nine Ers,

942
00:44:03,560 --> 00:44:09,040
Speaker 1: who benefited from another missed field goal attempt, this time

943
00:44:09,880 --> 00:44:13,920
Speaker 1: by Andrews Carlson of the Packers, who's miss kept it

944
00:44:14,120 --> 00:44:16,520
Speaker 1: a four point game late instead of a seven point

945
00:44:16,600 --> 00:44:19,880
Speaker 1: game in terms of a lead for the visiting Packers,

946
00:44:19,920 --> 00:44:22,920
Speaker 1: and then San Francisco and Brock Purty, who struggled for

947
00:44:23,040 --> 00:44:25,440
Speaker 1: most of the night in rainy conditions at the Big

948
00:44:25,480 --> 00:44:27,680
Speaker 1: Bell Bottom leads the team on a big drive down

949
00:44:27,719 --> 00:44:30,560
Speaker 1: the field, a big boy drive ending with a Christian

950
00:44:30,640 --> 00:44:34,040
Speaker 1: McCaffrey touchdown. That is the difference after that, Jordan leve

951
00:44:34,080 --> 00:44:36,359
Speaker 1: In t we heard final score twenty four to twenty one,

952
00:44:36,440 --> 00:44:38,920
Speaker 1: and the Niners are back in the NFC title game

953
00:44:38,960 --> 00:44:39,160
Speaker 1: for the.

954
00:44:39,239 --> 00:44:42,200
Speaker 4: Third straight year. Can they get over the hump with

955
00:44:42,320 --> 00:44:47,160
Speaker 4: Kyle Shannan, We will see, Mark Geez.

956
00:44:47,400 --> 00:44:51,520
Speaker 1: That is a game that the Niners were very fortunate

957
00:44:51,719 --> 00:44:56,440
Speaker 1: to escape and survive. But they did and now they

958
00:44:56,480 --> 00:44:59,279
Speaker 1: will be playing for the super Bowl at home next week.

959
00:45:00,080 --> 00:45:02,040
Speaker 2: I just want to hit it from like one angle,

960
00:45:02,160 --> 00:45:04,720
Speaker 2: and it's like the brock Party side of things, because

961
00:45:05,040 --> 00:45:08,200
Speaker 2: it kind of felt like anyone, whether you're for or

962
00:45:08,280 --> 00:45:10,680
Speaker 2: against Brock Party in terms of the scope of who

963
00:45:10,719 --> 00:45:13,920
Speaker 2: he is, the MVP race and everything else. It kind

964
00:45:13,920 --> 00:45:16,480
Speaker 2: of had something for everyone because it was the game

965
00:45:16,560 --> 00:45:18,800
Speaker 2: that kind of could tell you, this isn't an MVP

966
00:45:18,960 --> 00:45:21,000
Speaker 2: level quarterback and like, look at it's raining again like

967
00:45:21,080 --> 00:45:23,080
Speaker 2: it was when he played the Browns, and you're getting

968
00:45:23,120 --> 00:45:26,440
Speaker 2: this other version of Brock Party who's imperfect with the

969
00:45:26,480 --> 00:45:28,759
Speaker 2: game on the line in this critical moment. But then

970
00:45:28,800 --> 00:45:32,000
Speaker 2: you also got that final touchdown drive where I thought

971
00:45:32,040 --> 00:45:36,400
Speaker 2: brock Purty like in a rough and tumble outing show

972
00:45:36,520 --> 00:45:38,640
Speaker 2: that in the end he really is capable. And like,

973
00:45:38,800 --> 00:45:42,600
Speaker 2: I think, this Niners team, you know, I wondered what

974
00:45:42,640 --> 00:45:44,319
Speaker 2: would happen to them after the rest that they've had

975
00:45:44,560 --> 00:45:47,360
Speaker 2: and they've been so dominant and so unstoppable. This was

976
00:45:47,480 --> 00:45:50,640
Speaker 2: just like a B minus version of their offense for

977
00:45:50,760 --> 00:45:52,800
Speaker 2: eighty five percent of it, and they still found a

978
00:45:52,800 --> 00:45:53,160
Speaker 2: way to.

979
00:45:53,200 --> 00:45:53,640
Speaker 4: Get it done.

980
00:45:53,760 --> 00:45:57,759
Speaker 1: Here's party on the Niners winning a game that under

981
00:45:57,800 --> 00:46:00,479
Speaker 1: Shanahan they have struggled to win, coming back from behind

982
00:46:00,520 --> 00:46:01,160
Speaker 1: in the fourth quarter.

983
00:46:01,520 --> 00:46:04,160
Speaker 11: I mean, I think it is important. We were all like,

984
00:46:04,200 --> 00:46:05,880
Speaker 11: all right, this is it, you know, this is our season,

985
00:46:05,960 --> 00:46:09,120
Speaker 11: and so for us to capitalize like that was huge

986
00:46:09,280 --> 00:46:10,880
Speaker 11: for all of us and then obviously for myself as

987
00:46:10,880 --> 00:46:12,759
Speaker 11: a quarterback, Like it's good for confidence and all that.

988
00:46:12,880 --> 00:46:15,879
Speaker 11: But we have too many good players man on this team,

989
00:46:16,320 --> 00:46:19,400
Speaker 11: so many players that are difference makers, and we got

990
00:46:19,440 --> 00:46:22,080
Speaker 11: a great defense, and so for us to not find

991
00:46:22,120 --> 00:46:26,239
Speaker 11: a way just wasn't It's not right. So for us

992
00:46:26,280 --> 00:46:28,520
Speaker 11: to finally have a game like this and pull through

993
00:46:28,560 --> 00:46:30,080
Speaker 11: at the end was huge for all of us.

994
00:46:30,239 --> 00:46:33,520
Speaker 3: So well, it's so huge obviously to just keep this

995
00:46:33,600 --> 00:46:35,720
Speaker 3: season going. I think to win a Super Bowl sometimes

996
00:46:35,760 --> 00:46:39,400
Speaker 3: you got to survive a bad game, and this was it.

997
00:46:39,680 --> 00:46:41,799
Speaker 3: I mean, they should have lost this game. They were

998
00:46:41,880 --> 00:46:44,560
Speaker 3: fortunate to win. They made the plays to win, but

999
00:46:44,640 --> 00:46:48,000
Speaker 3: there were many times it could have gone against them.

1000
00:46:48,239 --> 00:46:50,600
Speaker 3: And if you wanted to be a skeptic of this

1001
00:46:50,719 --> 00:46:53,239
Speaker 3: team and look through a certain lens, anytime they were

1002
00:46:53,320 --> 00:46:56,319
Speaker 3: kind of pushed this year, they crumbled a little bit.

1003
00:46:56,480 --> 00:47:00,520
Speaker 3: And even like the three game losing streak, like they start,

1004
00:47:00,560 --> 00:47:03,160
Speaker 3: they crumbled and they couldn't stop the bleeding. During that

1005
00:47:03,239 --> 00:47:06,000
Speaker 3: three game Loons well every oh well, Deebo Samuel and

1006
00:47:06,040 --> 00:47:08,080
Speaker 3: Trent Williams were out. It's like, look at every other

1007
00:47:08,160 --> 00:47:09,560
Speaker 3: team in the league. Look at the Bills, look at

1008
00:47:09,600 --> 00:47:11,480
Speaker 3: look at so many look at the Dolphins with all

1009
00:47:11,520 --> 00:47:14,239
Speaker 3: these injury issues, and they found ways to win. And

1010
00:47:14,320 --> 00:47:16,600
Speaker 3: then in that Ravens game too, they let it snowball

1011
00:47:16,600 --> 00:47:18,560
Speaker 3: on them. So I think to stand up in a

1012
00:47:18,600 --> 00:47:21,160
Speaker 3: spot where they really looked like they were about to

1013
00:47:21,239 --> 00:47:24,200
Speaker 3: lose and have both sides of the ball step up

1014
00:47:24,239 --> 00:47:26,640
Speaker 3: after a pretty shaky game from both sides of the

1015
00:47:26,680 --> 00:47:29,279
Speaker 3: ball in the last eight minutes and them to play

1016
00:47:29,320 --> 00:47:32,040
Speaker 3: their best ball in the last eight minutes was huge

1017
00:47:32,160 --> 00:47:36,839
Speaker 3: because the Packers Dan had the ball first and ten

1018
00:47:37,560 --> 00:47:41,759
Speaker 3: seven point fifty one to go up four at the

1019
00:47:41,960 --> 00:47:44,799
Speaker 3: forty nine ers twenty four yard line at that point

1020
00:47:44,840 --> 00:47:47,880
Speaker 3: in the game. Did you think the forty nine Ers

1021
00:47:47,920 --> 00:47:49,399
Speaker 3: had much of a chance to win that game?

1022
00:47:49,680 --> 00:47:50,879
Speaker 4: No, And I'm mad.

1023
00:47:51,280 --> 00:47:53,000
Speaker 1: This is what we do for a living, and I

1024
00:47:53,040 --> 00:47:55,160
Speaker 1: felt like I kind of nailed the game. I thought

1025
00:47:55,239 --> 00:47:59,040
Speaker 1: the Packers would come in and take that momentum from Dallas.

1026
00:47:59,080 --> 00:48:01,799
Speaker 1: I thought the defense had a chance to uh because

1027
00:48:01,840 --> 00:48:03,160
Speaker 1: they were stiffer against Dallas.

1028
00:48:03,239 --> 00:48:03,560
Speaker 4: They did.

1029
00:48:03,640 --> 00:48:05,759
Speaker 1: They played well against San Francisco on defense for the

1030
00:48:05,800 --> 00:48:07,799
Speaker 1: most part in this game, and then they put They

1031
00:48:07,840 --> 00:48:10,080
Speaker 1: were able to put points on the board and then

1032
00:48:10,120 --> 00:48:13,440
Speaker 1: put pressure on Purdy and Purdy was making mistakes. But

1033
00:48:13,600 --> 00:48:18,440
Speaker 1: here's the problem. They did all that, but they got

1034
00:48:18,520 --> 00:48:20,120
Speaker 1: turned away in the red zone a couple of times.

1035
00:48:20,239 --> 00:48:22,600
Speaker 1: They had to turnover and downs on fourth in less

1036
00:48:22,600 --> 00:48:25,160
Speaker 1: than a yard. They dropped the spot on that.

1037
00:48:25,320 --> 00:48:28,960
Speaker 3: Yeah, questionable, but an unreal play by Drake green Law

1038
00:48:29,239 --> 00:48:31,280
Speaker 3: to stip absolutely chops.

1039
00:48:31,840 --> 00:48:33,799
Speaker 1: Purdy did throw the ball for grabs a couple of times.

1040
00:48:33,840 --> 00:48:36,840
Speaker 1: They didn't catch it, so that they had and this

1041
00:48:37,080 --> 00:48:40,760
Speaker 1: is why. This is why, also because I don't necessarily

1042
00:48:40,800 --> 00:48:43,279
Speaker 1: believe in the uh the future is bright, you know,

1043
00:48:43,680 --> 00:48:46,800
Speaker 1: plenty more years, because you just you never know. And

1044
00:48:46,960 --> 00:48:51,120
Speaker 1: the Packers on balance, it was a successful season and

1045
00:48:51,280 --> 00:48:53,800
Speaker 1: it was quote unquote house money game here against the Niners.

1046
00:48:54,239 --> 00:48:57,200
Speaker 1: But when you have that team on the ropes like

1047
00:48:57,320 --> 00:49:01,200
Speaker 1: they did, when you kind of outplayed the mighty to

1048
00:49:01,280 --> 00:49:05,160
Speaker 1: get brought down by failure to execute in the red zone,

1049
00:49:05,239 --> 00:49:08,719
Speaker 1: turnover and near the red zone missed field goal, that

1050
00:49:09,120 --> 00:49:12,080
Speaker 1: makes the loss hurt because it's not like a better

1051
00:49:12,160 --> 00:49:15,600
Speaker 1: team got you on that particular night. You were in

1052
00:49:15,760 --> 00:49:18,520
Speaker 1: position and you just failed in the stuff that you

1053
00:49:18,600 --> 00:49:21,400
Speaker 1: should be able to handle and execute and you didn't.

1054
00:49:21,480 --> 00:49:24,759
Speaker 1: And Matt Lafleur after the game, you know, you know

1055
00:49:24,880 --> 00:49:27,000
Speaker 1: he was hurting because it was right there in front

1056
00:49:27,000 --> 00:49:27,239
Speaker 1: of him.

1057
00:49:27,920 --> 00:49:30,680
Speaker 12: I felt like we had plenty of opportunities to kind

1058
00:49:30,719 --> 00:49:33,759
Speaker 12: of put the game out of reach and unfortunately just

1059
00:49:34,120 --> 00:49:38,600
Speaker 12: didn't do enough. And it's never one play, and it's

1060
00:49:39,239 --> 00:49:40,840
Speaker 12: because I know, I'm sure a lot of it's going

1061
00:49:40,920 --> 00:49:44,960
Speaker 12: to come down to the miss field goal, but there

1062
00:49:45,000 --> 00:49:47,440
Speaker 12: were plenty of opportunities. You go back in the first

1063
00:49:47,520 --> 00:49:51,720
Speaker 12: half and have three red zone opportunities and have six points.

1064
00:49:53,640 --> 00:49:56,720
Speaker 12: You know, there was just there's a lot of plays

1065
00:49:56,719 --> 00:49:59,800
Speaker 12: out there that it just if one play goes different,

1066
00:50:00,520 --> 00:50:02,560
Speaker 12: probably have a different result right now, and.

1067
00:50:02,600 --> 00:50:05,399
Speaker 1: Then to kind of put a punctuation on the mark,

1068
00:50:06,040 --> 00:50:09,279
Speaker 1: they're still in good shape. They have a chance push

1069
00:50:09,360 --> 00:50:12,560
Speaker 1: this game to overtime or even win it. And for Love,

1070
00:50:12,600 --> 00:50:17,120
Speaker 1: who had been impeccable for two months, and everybody was

1071
00:50:17,160 --> 00:50:18,600
Speaker 1: saying it, not just me, but the Brett to go

1072
00:50:18,680 --> 00:50:21,520
Speaker 1: Brett far, to roll right, kind of throw a desperation

1073
00:50:21,640 --> 00:50:23,880
Speaker 1: pass late and over the middle that's picked off. He

1074
00:50:23,960 --> 00:50:26,520
Speaker 1: didn't have to do that his first down. He did it,

1075
00:50:26,760 --> 00:50:29,680
Speaker 1: and at the worst time he looked like a kid again.

1076
00:50:30,080 --> 00:50:33,959
Speaker 1: So these uncharacteristic mistakes that they had not been making

1077
00:50:34,080 --> 00:50:36,080
Speaker 1: during this rise is kind of what got them, not

1078
00:50:36,160 --> 00:50:36,960
Speaker 1: so much the Niners.

1079
00:50:37,080 --> 00:50:39,600
Speaker 2: No, it was a tough It was a tough throw

1080
00:50:39,760 --> 00:50:42,080
Speaker 2: across the body. You're right, he didn't have to do

1081
00:50:42,239 --> 00:50:42,640
Speaker 2: that at all.

1082
00:50:42,760 --> 00:50:45,040
Speaker 4: Ridiculous And if you look at the game, because he was.

1083
00:50:45,600 --> 00:50:48,640
Speaker 2: Throwing outside the numbers, he was twelve for seventeen for

1084
00:50:48,719 --> 00:50:51,200
Speaker 2: one hundred and sixty one yards and two touchdowns. Pretty

1085
00:50:51,200 --> 00:50:53,279
Speaker 2: flawless and the kind of Jordan Love you've expected, but

1086
00:50:53,760 --> 00:50:56,600
Speaker 2: throwing between the numbers, he was nine for sixteen for

1087
00:50:56,680 --> 00:50:59,399
Speaker 2: thirty three yards with two picks, including that game ender.

1088
00:50:59,480 --> 00:51:02,840
Speaker 2: And so it's an unceremonious way for a really incredible

1089
00:51:02,920 --> 00:51:05,520
Speaker 2: season to end for Jordan Love. And you're right because

1090
00:51:05,520 --> 00:51:07,520
Speaker 2: it's like, you know, we've got big funk back there,

1091
00:51:07,640 --> 00:51:11,040
Speaker 2: like a Packers fans like suddenly gotta be feeling incredibly

1092
00:51:11,120 --> 00:51:13,040
Speaker 2: a hope about the future compared to where you were

1093
00:51:13,080 --> 00:51:15,520
Speaker 2: a couple months ago. But you also are thinking, wait

1094
00:51:15,560 --> 00:51:17,800
Speaker 2: a minute, we had we pulled this out. We're a

1095
00:51:17,880 --> 00:51:20,560
Speaker 2: team that knows we could beat the Lions. So it's

1096
00:51:20,680 --> 00:51:22,640
Speaker 2: like it is a lost opportunity in the idea that

1097
00:51:22,680 --> 00:51:25,640
Speaker 2: you're just gonna march back here to the Jacksonville Jaguars.

1098
00:51:25,719 --> 00:51:28,319
Speaker 4: Example, you don't know that the floor will never ever

1099
00:51:28,840 --> 00:51:29,800
Speaker 4: get over this loss.

1100
00:51:29,880 --> 00:51:31,759
Speaker 1: I don't know the man personally, but this is this

1101
00:51:31,920 --> 00:51:35,280
Speaker 1: is head coach nightmare fuel these type of the same teams.

1102
00:51:35,760 --> 00:51:39,240
Speaker 3: That was one of the tougher press conferences I've watched.

1103
00:51:39,360 --> 00:51:43,320
Speaker 3: He was so devastated and he has that cap pulled

1104
00:51:43,400 --> 00:51:45,759
Speaker 3: down low over his eyes, and the way the light

1105
00:51:45,880 --> 00:51:47,840
Speaker 3: was hitting was just shadow and it was just like

1106
00:51:48,360 --> 00:51:50,239
Speaker 3: he was not trying to put on a poker face.

1107
00:51:50,320 --> 00:51:52,319
Speaker 3: He was so sad about it because he he knows

1108
00:51:52,400 --> 00:51:55,879
Speaker 3: it was right there. Love played a pretty flawless game

1109
00:51:56,080 --> 00:51:58,520
Speaker 3: until the end, and then there was just a couple throws.

1110
00:51:58,840 --> 00:52:01,960
Speaker 3: The interception on tip pass, he just he just missed

1111
00:52:02,000 --> 00:52:04,719
Speaker 3: the throw. Who is that to the to the tight

1112
00:52:04,880 --> 00:52:07,719
Speaker 3: end over the middle on the first interception, so that

1113
00:52:07,840 --> 00:52:09,520
Speaker 3: was some bad luck on it too. It was like

1114
00:52:09,600 --> 00:52:11,400
Speaker 3: a tipped up and he got punished for it on

1115
00:52:11,480 --> 00:52:14,919
Speaker 3: a day where your guys Darnel Savage drops a pick

1116
00:52:15,000 --> 00:52:18,120
Speaker 3: six right into his bread basket. Another pretty drop later

1117
00:52:18,239 --> 00:52:20,279
Speaker 3: and they took advantage. And then there was another play

1118
00:52:20,480 --> 00:52:22,440
Speaker 3: on the third down when they they could have run

1119
00:52:22,520 --> 00:52:25,160
Speaker 3: more clock out where he just him and Aaron Jones

1120
00:52:25,200 --> 00:52:27,080
Speaker 3: weren't on the same page on like a check down.

1121
00:52:27,120 --> 00:52:29,120
Speaker 3: He was hitting all the hard throws, but he didn't

1122
00:52:29,200 --> 00:52:32,160
Speaker 3: hit the easy ones. But even then, there was that

1123
00:52:32,280 --> 00:52:34,560
Speaker 3: first down with the Packers I mentioned like seven point

1124
00:52:34,560 --> 00:52:38,040
Speaker 3: fifty one left and and that's where the forty nine

1125
00:52:38,080 --> 00:52:39,920
Speaker 3: ers stepped up. Warner makes a nice tackle in the

1126
00:52:39,960 --> 00:52:43,359
Speaker 3: open field for a no gain. Bosa gets a quick

1127
00:52:43,440 --> 00:52:46,360
Speaker 3: pressure on Love and then Carlson, who's been missing a

1128
00:52:46,480 --> 00:52:49,400
Speaker 3: ton of kicks, misses that kick and he's a rookie

1129
00:52:49,520 --> 00:52:52,680
Speaker 3: like all these other rookies, misses it in a big spot,

1130
00:52:52,760 --> 00:52:54,799
Speaker 3: and then you give the forty nine ers the ball back,

1131
00:52:54,840 --> 00:52:56,480
Speaker 3: and at that point I'm like, oh, man, are they

1132
00:52:56,520 --> 00:52:57,560
Speaker 3: gonna win this game? I don't know.

1133
00:52:57,640 --> 00:53:00,719
Speaker 4: Their offense really hasn't done anything for a while. And

1134
00:53:01,160 --> 00:53:01,799
Speaker 4: it wasn't like.

1135
00:53:04,040 --> 00:53:06,719
Speaker 3: Dot after dot by Purdy. But the third and five

1136
00:53:06,880 --> 00:53:10,120
Speaker 3: play to Ayuk was a very low percentage play where

1137
00:53:10,719 --> 00:53:13,960
Speaker 3: it had it took a perfect throw and maybe an

1138
00:53:14,000 --> 00:53:14,719
Speaker 3: even better catch.

1139
00:53:14,760 --> 00:53:15,480
Speaker 4: Both were perfect.

1140
00:53:15,520 --> 00:53:20,560
Speaker 3: Ayuk and Purdy were so good on that play, and

1141
00:53:20,680 --> 00:53:23,280
Speaker 3: then after that, Perdy just made all the right decisions.

1142
00:53:23,320 --> 00:53:25,879
Speaker 3: He made the right reads on like a I think

1143
00:53:25,920 --> 00:53:27,520
Speaker 3: it was one check down to the left side where

1144
00:53:27,520 --> 00:53:29,200
Speaker 3: they made a big play, and then he made the

1145
00:53:29,440 --> 00:53:32,160
Speaker 3: nice scramble and they ran the ball well, and it's

1146
00:53:32,239 --> 00:53:35,440
Speaker 3: like they just finally calmed down in the biggest spot

1147
00:53:35,560 --> 00:53:37,160
Speaker 3: and you got to give it to him. But you

1148
00:53:37,239 --> 00:53:40,719
Speaker 3: do wonder like Diebo Samuel first head injury and comes

1149
00:53:40,760 --> 00:53:43,319
Speaker 3: back in the game, then shoulder injury leaves, and it's

1150
00:53:43,360 --> 00:53:45,359
Speaker 3: the kind of thing that you know they're talking about

1151
00:53:45,400 --> 00:53:46,839
Speaker 3: us could could be a multiple week thing.

1152
00:53:47,120 --> 00:53:49,680
Speaker 2: We don't know exactly where it sits. But it is

1153
00:53:49,760 --> 00:53:51,800
Speaker 2: weird because they have so many weapons. But when Deebo's

1154
00:53:51,840 --> 00:53:53,680
Speaker 2: not been on the field for them, it has been

1155
00:53:53,760 --> 00:53:55,160
Speaker 2: a it's smarked a big change.

1156
00:53:55,200 --> 00:53:57,200
Speaker 3: Well it hurts when you lose him, like right off

1157
00:53:57,280 --> 00:54:00,160
Speaker 3: the bat, and who is doing this game now? They

1158
00:54:00,239 --> 00:54:03,200
Speaker 3: you know, Olsen said, how they they had basically had

1159
00:54:03,239 --> 00:54:04,880
Speaker 3: information DVA was going to be a huge part of

1160
00:54:04,880 --> 00:54:07,080
Speaker 3: the game the whole game. Were like trying to give

1161
00:54:07,160 --> 00:54:09,160
Speaker 3: Juwan Jennings these ender rounds and stuff like that.

1162
00:54:10,800 --> 00:54:14,879
Speaker 1: By the way, while Carlson misses this kick and ass

1163
00:54:14,960 --> 00:54:18,520
Speaker 1: is missing his kick, come on, guys, Robbie Gould just

1164
00:54:19,320 --> 00:54:21,280
Speaker 1: out there the whole time. Then just like finally shrugged

1165
00:54:21,280 --> 00:54:23,760
Speaker 1: his shoulders and was like, I guess must not be interesting.

1166
00:54:24,040 --> 00:54:26,719
Speaker 1: Literally never missed the kick in the postseason extra pointer

1167
00:54:26,840 --> 00:54:27,239
Speaker 1: field goal.

1168
00:54:27,600 --> 00:54:30,920
Speaker 3: And I mean Olsen said, they asked Lafleur about Carlson

1169
00:54:30,960 --> 00:54:32,799
Speaker 3: and what his thing with Carlson was, and he's like, well,

1170
00:54:32,920 --> 00:54:35,279
Speaker 3: every time he takes a kick, you know, I pray

1171
00:54:35,440 --> 00:54:38,759
Speaker 3: before it. It was like, maybe they don't tell them

1172
00:54:38,800 --> 00:54:42,000
Speaker 3: that or tell them that, And off the record, and then,

1173
00:54:42,120 --> 00:54:46,080
Speaker 3: b you can't be going to the NFC Divisional round

1174
00:54:46,239 --> 00:54:48,160
Speaker 3: game with that attitude.

1175
00:54:48,200 --> 00:54:50,200
Speaker 4: That was that was tough, and look, they would have

1176
00:54:50,239 --> 00:54:51,640
Speaker 4: tied it up. It's not like they would have won

1177
00:54:51,680 --> 00:54:51,880
Speaker 4: the game.

1178
00:54:51,920 --> 00:54:53,520
Speaker 3: And the way that game was going at the end,

1179
00:54:53,560 --> 00:54:56,000
Speaker 3: I feel like the Packers had their chances to put

1180
00:54:56,040 --> 00:54:57,960
Speaker 3: it away and then they started looking like the really

1181
00:54:58,000 --> 00:54:58,359
Speaker 3: young team.

1182
00:54:58,400 --> 00:55:00,480
Speaker 4: They probably would have lost it anyways, But man.

1183
00:55:00,800 --> 00:55:04,080
Speaker 1: This might betray who I'll be pulling for in the

1184
00:55:04,200 --> 00:55:07,000
Speaker 1: NFC title game. But I don't need to see brock

1185
00:55:07,080 --> 00:55:09,799
Speaker 1: Purty against the Ravens defense again.

1186
00:55:10,080 --> 00:55:12,960
Speaker 4: If that's how this thing breaks down. I don't trust

1187
00:55:13,120 --> 00:55:13,640
Speaker 4: your guy.

1188
00:55:13,600 --> 00:55:17,120
Speaker 1: Mark, Well, then you have to trust Jared Goff. I know,

1189
00:55:17,320 --> 00:55:19,319
Speaker 1: and that's and that's and that's fair. And we'll see

1190
00:55:19,320 --> 00:55:21,280
Speaker 1: how that game goes. We're gonna get to the lines

1191
00:55:21,280 --> 00:55:24,359
Speaker 1: in a minute. But yeah, I thought he was very

1192
00:55:24,400 --> 00:55:27,400
Speaker 1: shaky in this game. And we'll see if it was

1193
00:55:27,480 --> 00:55:30,200
Speaker 1: the weather or or just a rough night. And and

1194
00:55:30,520 --> 00:55:32,200
Speaker 1: I do you gotta give him credit. They let him

1195
00:55:32,239 --> 00:55:33,560
Speaker 1: on the drive at the end, and he let him

1196
00:55:33,560 --> 00:55:36,200
Speaker 1: on the drive. But man, I thought the Niners were

1197
00:55:36,239 --> 00:55:38,760
Speaker 1: so fortunate and I don't And one thing we disagree

1198
00:55:38,760 --> 00:55:42,320
Speaker 1: with on Greg you were saying earlier today, like this

1199
00:55:42,480 --> 00:55:45,320
Speaker 1: is the game, Like sometimes teams need to survive a

1200
00:55:45,640 --> 00:55:47,400
Speaker 1: game like that and then they can get back to

1201
00:55:47,440 --> 00:55:50,480
Speaker 1: being dominant. I'm not quite there with the Niners. I'm

1202
00:55:50,560 --> 00:55:53,520
Speaker 1: curious what version we get next Sunday, and we're gonna

1203
00:55:53,520 --> 00:55:53,920
Speaker 1: find out.

1204
00:55:54,440 --> 00:55:57,640
Speaker 3: I just think the body of work their offense has

1205
00:55:57,680 --> 00:56:01,120
Speaker 3: shown in defense, and Steve Wilks I think ended up

1206
00:56:01,160 --> 00:56:03,080
Speaker 3: coaching a pretty good game by by the end of

1207
00:56:03,160 --> 00:56:07,360
Speaker 3: this game. I wouldn't surprise me. I'm pulling for the Lions,

1208
00:56:07,440 --> 00:56:10,160
Speaker 3: but it would not surprise me if if the forty

1209
00:56:10,239 --> 00:56:12,719
Speaker 3: nine ers recapture their form, because I do think the

1210
00:56:12,760 --> 00:56:13,719
Speaker 3: weather was a big part of it.

1211
00:56:14,000 --> 00:56:14,840
Speaker 4: He has small hands.

1212
00:56:15,200 --> 00:56:16,759
Speaker 3: Yeah, I don't know if it's not always a small

1213
00:56:16,800 --> 00:56:19,000
Speaker 3: hands thing, but I mean he was he was really

1214
00:56:19,040 --> 00:56:20,799
Speaker 3: bad in this game. He was worse in this game

1215
00:56:21,160 --> 00:56:23,080
Speaker 3: than he was in the Ravens game which lost him

1216
00:56:23,080 --> 00:56:24,640
Speaker 3: the MVP, and he threw the four picks. I don't

1217
00:56:24,640 --> 00:56:26,759
Speaker 3: even think it's a question like he was legit bad.

1218
00:56:26,800 --> 00:56:27,720
Speaker 3: I was curious.

1219
00:56:27,719 --> 00:56:29,040
Speaker 4: I checked the p would say it's a question.

1220
00:56:29,080 --> 00:56:31,320
Speaker 3: He was pretty bad in that game too, but that

1221
00:56:31,400 --> 00:56:33,120
Speaker 3: game won this game with a drive at the end

1222
00:56:33,120 --> 00:56:36,320
Speaker 3: of regular game. He was his normal self except for

1223
00:56:36,480 --> 00:56:41,200
Speaker 3: like two or three bad decisions game this game, like

1224
00:56:41,719 --> 00:56:44,919
Speaker 3: his normal throws were bad. Everything was bad. Decisions were bad.

1225
00:56:44,960 --> 00:56:47,520
Speaker 3: He wasn't seeing the field like I checked the PFF score.

1226
00:56:47,560 --> 00:56:49,400
Speaker 3: I was curious, like and it was you know, it

1227
00:56:49,480 --> 00:56:51,120
Speaker 3: was like a fifty eight. The only score that was

1228
00:56:51,160 --> 00:56:54,719
Speaker 3: worse this year was that Browns game. Also in the Ring, well, I.

1229
00:56:54,719 --> 00:56:57,400
Speaker 2: Think he's I think that to me, the takeaway is

1230
00:56:58,080 --> 00:57:00,800
Speaker 2: Inclint Weather effects Brock, Party were or may not have

1231
00:57:00,880 --> 00:57:01,160
Speaker 2: any of.

1232
00:57:01,280 --> 00:57:03,960
Speaker 4: Us to be nice next week in San Francisco.

1233
00:57:04,000 --> 00:57:05,800
Speaker 2: By the way, but Dan, when you say the overall

1234
00:57:05,840 --> 00:57:07,960
Speaker 2: body of work of Party, but also just the Niners

1235
00:57:08,040 --> 00:57:10,640
Speaker 2: offense in general, I feel like you're a little down

1236
00:57:10,680 --> 00:57:14,040
Speaker 2: on them when there's a lot of evidence to suggest.

1237
00:57:13,880 --> 00:57:15,800
Speaker 4: They weren't explosive in this game. It was kind of

1238
00:57:15,920 --> 00:57:16,840
Speaker 4: shocking how they could.

1239
00:57:16,880 --> 00:57:18,880
Speaker 2: I just don't think that that predicts who they're gonna be,

1240
00:57:19,200 --> 00:57:21,960
Speaker 2: you know, against Detroit next week. But no, Deebo, Samuel

1241
00:57:22,040 --> 00:57:23,200
Speaker 2: matters a lot for this offense.

1242
00:57:23,200 --> 00:57:25,920
Speaker 1: If he went, If if Brock went out there next

1243
00:57:25,960 --> 00:57:28,840
Speaker 1: Sunday and went twenty seven for thirty two, I wouldn't

1244
00:57:28,840 --> 00:57:32,760
Speaker 1: be stunned, right, But does he have a stink a

1245
00:57:32,840 --> 00:57:33,760
Speaker 1: stink bomb in him?

1246
00:57:33,960 --> 00:57:36,120
Speaker 4: Still, I can't rule that out of either.

1247
00:57:36,520 --> 00:57:39,360
Speaker 1: That's I'd be concerned as a nine ers sense because

1248
00:57:39,360 --> 00:57:41,640
Speaker 1: I've gotten to the point now and I've seen my

1249
00:57:41,760 --> 00:57:44,720
Speaker 1: share of bad quarterbacks where and he's certainly not one

1250
00:57:44,760 --> 00:57:46,560
Speaker 1: of them. But when he drops back in that ball

1251
00:57:46,720 --> 00:57:49,640
Speaker 1: is heading towards the second level of defense, you kinda

1252
00:57:49,640 --> 00:57:50,800
Speaker 1: hold your breath and be like, oh.

1253
00:57:50,800 --> 00:57:51,720
Speaker 4: Where is this one going?

1254
00:57:52,000 --> 00:57:55,240
Speaker 2: Like is he not to the level of Jimmy g though,

1255
00:57:55,280 --> 00:58:00,760
Speaker 2: But okay, but this I don't I you know, I'm

1256
00:58:00,840 --> 00:58:03,600
Speaker 2: just I'm like, I could continue to defend brock perty

1257
00:58:03,720 --> 00:58:06,000
Speaker 2: I heat a bad game. I'm in the middle on it,

1258
00:58:06,120 --> 00:58:08,760
Speaker 2: like I have. I don't like his story is great.

1259
00:58:08,920 --> 00:58:10,640
Speaker 1: I keep I'm taking the story out of it right

1260
00:58:11,000 --> 00:58:12,280
Speaker 1: talking about as I.

1261
00:58:12,600 --> 00:58:14,640
Speaker 3: Just look at him as like a second year quarterback

1262
00:58:14,800 --> 00:58:16,840
Speaker 3: even if he wasn't like a late round pick and

1263
00:58:17,000 --> 00:58:20,320
Speaker 3: where he's at and stuff, And maybe I'm biased. He's

1264
00:58:20,400 --> 00:58:22,760
Speaker 3: no Tom Brady, but it's like people think back to

1265
00:58:22,840 --> 00:58:26,840
Speaker 3: this Tom Brady that like never existed, Like Tom Brady

1266
00:58:26,880 --> 00:58:29,240
Speaker 3: had games worse than like like he like the Super

1267
00:58:29,280 --> 00:58:31,720
Speaker 3: Bowl He literally didn't do anything until until the final court.

1268
00:58:31,760 --> 00:58:33,360
Speaker 3: But he didn't make he didn't make the big mistats

1269
00:58:33,400 --> 00:58:35,520
Speaker 3: like Brady. No, I'm not even saying he is. My

1270
00:58:35,640 --> 00:58:38,680
Speaker 3: point is like, you can have a second year quarterback

1271
00:58:38,760 --> 00:58:42,280
Speaker 3: that you're carrying along in some certain games, but you

1272
00:58:42,360 --> 00:58:46,240
Speaker 3: can do that when you're supposed to be this monstar team.

1273
00:58:46,360 --> 00:58:47,640
Speaker 4: And I do give their defense.

1274
00:58:47,880 --> 00:58:50,640
Speaker 3: I know the Packers struggled in the red zone, but

1275
00:58:50,680 --> 00:58:53,320
Speaker 3: there's because there's an opposing defense there in the red zone.

1276
00:58:53,320 --> 00:58:56,760
Speaker 3: And I thought their defense kept them in this game

1277
00:58:56,840 --> 00:58:59,880
Speaker 3: with those red zone stops and Greenlaw to me, in

1278
00:59:00,080 --> 00:59:02,840
Speaker 3: some ways, is defining forty nine er and he gets overlooked.

1279
00:59:02,880 --> 00:59:04,480
Speaker 3: He kind of reminds me of Navara Bowman with the

1280
00:59:04,520 --> 00:59:08,160
Speaker 3: old forty nine Ers. He hit Tucker Craft so hard

1281
00:59:08,720 --> 00:59:11,080
Speaker 3: in the eye that like you know, Craft had to

1282
00:59:11,200 --> 00:59:14,080
Speaker 3: come out of it. He just blasted Tucker Craft. One

1283
00:59:14,200 --> 00:59:17,439
Speaker 3: play later he blast Jordan Love to get a fourth

1284
00:59:17,440 --> 00:59:20,560
Speaker 3: down stop. Then he gets two interceptions in the second half.

1285
00:59:20,640 --> 00:59:23,160
Speaker 3: He's just like a beast like Bosa showed up at

1286
00:59:23,200 --> 00:59:25,160
Speaker 3: the very end of the game. Warner was great in

1287
00:59:25,240 --> 00:59:27,360
Speaker 3: this game. I just they've guys got so many guys

1288
00:59:27,440 --> 00:59:30,200
Speaker 3: that I just feel like usually they'll developed, they'll find

1289
00:59:30,240 --> 00:59:31,360
Speaker 3: a way to overwhelm you.

1290
00:59:31,640 --> 00:59:33,960
Speaker 1: Absolute studs in the middle of the defense. It's just

1291
00:59:34,040 --> 00:59:36,960
Speaker 1: a it's it's the cottage industry. I'll probably be in

1292
00:59:37,800 --> 00:59:40,360
Speaker 1: I'm probably being too hard on brock I Mark, I apologize,

1293
00:59:40,400 --> 00:59:42,760
Speaker 1: I am being too hard on don't have to apologize.

1294
00:59:42,920 --> 00:59:44,440
Speaker 2: If you look at yesterday's.

1295
00:59:44,040 --> 00:59:47,560
Speaker 1: Game, yeah maybe maybe uh maybe Sam Donald's coming running

1296
00:59:47,560 --> 00:59:48,800
Speaker 1: out of the tunnel in the third quarter.

1297
00:59:49,200 --> 00:59:51,560
Speaker 4: I mean that is that is Oh my.

1298
00:59:51,600 --> 00:59:55,000
Speaker 3: God, is that Sam's If if that's your angle, then

1299
00:59:55,520 --> 00:59:57,120
Speaker 3: this is I think you understand what this is. All

1300
00:59:57,640 --> 01:00:00,280
Speaker 3: I knew it wasn't gonna happen my angle, well, the

1301
01:00:00,600 --> 01:00:03,680
Speaker 3: idea that Sam Donald is gonna come out and oh

1302
01:00:03,760 --> 01:00:04,240
Speaker 3: my god.

1303
01:00:04,120 --> 01:00:05,320
Speaker 4: That Sam Donald's music.

1304
01:00:05,480 --> 01:00:07,520
Speaker 3: Okay, so he had so it was like eighth team

1305
01:00:08,720 --> 01:00:12,520
Speaker 3: when when they couldn't score, uh when I think it

1306
01:00:12,640 --> 01:00:14,760
Speaker 3: was another three and out in the third quarter, and

1307
01:00:14,840 --> 01:00:17,200
Speaker 3: then they they were set up with a short field

1308
01:00:17,320 --> 01:00:19,000
Speaker 3: and then they had to settle for the field goal

1309
01:00:19,280 --> 01:00:21,200
Speaker 3: and then they punted again the next drive. I actually,

1310
01:00:21,280 --> 01:00:23,920
Speaker 3: for a second thought, isn't that crazy to go to

1311
01:00:24,040 --> 01:00:26,880
Speaker 3: Sam Tarno right now? I actually didn't think they'd do it,

1312
01:00:27,040 --> 01:00:29,360
Speaker 3: but he was struggling so bad at that point in

1313
01:00:29,440 --> 01:00:31,960
Speaker 3: the game that I was just like, man, maybe.

1314
01:00:32,480 --> 01:00:33,680
Speaker 4: It's so destabilizing.

1315
01:00:33,720 --> 01:00:36,400
Speaker 2: Though it doesn't have abilizing like coaching.

1316
01:00:36,520 --> 01:00:38,720
Speaker 1: It wouldn't have been a It would be a bit

1317
01:00:38,760 --> 01:00:41,000
Speaker 1: of a flip of the panic switch right to go

1318
01:00:41,080 --> 01:00:44,280
Speaker 1: to Donald at this point, but they like him and

1319
01:00:44,360 --> 01:00:45,680
Speaker 1: party's gotta play.

1320
01:00:46,200 --> 01:00:48,840
Speaker 4: Had throw to Kittle, you know, it was just yeah,

1321
01:00:48,840 --> 01:00:50,640
Speaker 4: he did have to throw to Kittle. The you know,

1322
01:00:51,280 --> 01:00:52,960
Speaker 4: all comes out of his hand right now. We sure

1323
01:00:53,000 --> 01:00:54,600
Speaker 4: where it's going. Is it going to the right team?

1324
01:00:54,920 --> 01:00:57,040
Speaker 4: I think we're I think we're if it's over, if

1325
01:00:57,080 --> 01:00:57,680
Speaker 4: it's dry.

1326
01:00:58,680 --> 01:01:01,480
Speaker 3: But yes, he he he got a he got a

1327
01:01:01,520 --> 01:01:03,560
Speaker 3: Hall pass because he That would that would have been

1328
01:01:03,640 --> 01:01:07,200
Speaker 3: the conversation all off season if the Packers had just

1329
01:01:07,280 --> 01:01:09,160
Speaker 3: caught those interceptions and he got a break.

1330
01:01:10,680 --> 01:01:13,920
Speaker 2: And it's gonna be sun swept and fifty eight degrees

1331
01:01:14,040 --> 01:01:16,400
Speaker 2: next week with little wind, and you're gonna be right

1332
01:01:16,480 --> 01:01:18,280
Speaker 2: back where you want them to be. And you know,

1333
01:01:18,360 --> 01:01:22,280
Speaker 2: you two are unbelievably unannoying to hang out with most

1334
01:01:22,360 --> 01:01:22,800
Speaker 2: of the time.

1335
01:01:23,200 --> 01:01:23,640
Speaker 4: That's good.

1336
01:01:23,680 --> 01:01:26,840
Speaker 3: That is from the past, uh Randy, I know your

1337
01:01:26,840 --> 01:01:30,880
Speaker 3: most successors I know, Randy, that was heartbreaking. It is

1338
01:01:31,000 --> 01:01:33,400
Speaker 3: crazy how many and I know, like Jets and Browns

1339
01:01:33,400 --> 01:01:34,880
Speaker 3: fans don't want to hear about it. But I think

1340
01:01:34,920 --> 01:01:37,520
Speaker 3: it's it's true that being a fan like of a

1341
01:01:37,560 --> 01:01:39,760
Speaker 3: team like the Packers, but the Packers specifically the Bills

1342
01:01:39,800 --> 01:01:43,800
Speaker 3: now are joining this territory and losing this many heartbreaking plan.

1343
01:01:44,000 --> 01:01:44,880
Speaker 4: Get the violins out.

1344
01:01:46,120 --> 01:01:49,080
Speaker 1: Why can't this both be true? All right, mister Patriots man,

1345
01:01:49,160 --> 01:01:50,880
Speaker 1: please educate me on No, no, no, I'm not.

1346
01:01:51,400 --> 01:01:53,600
Speaker 3: I'm not talking about the Patriots because the Patriots got

1347
01:01:53,640 --> 01:01:57,440
Speaker 3: six titles that the Packers from. If you're doing a

1348
01:01:57,560 --> 01:02:00,600
Speaker 3: ranking of the most painful losses in pack fans who

1349
01:02:00,600 --> 01:02:04,600
Speaker 3: are masochistic, we're doing this last night since twenty seven,

1350
01:02:04,800 --> 01:02:07,360
Speaker 3: two thousand and seven, this maybe isn't even in the

1351
01:02:07,400 --> 01:02:10,360
Speaker 3: top ten, which is which is crazy, and it's a it's.

1352
01:02:12,280 --> 01:02:13,040
Speaker 4: You got the you got the.

1353
01:02:13,120 --> 01:02:16,120
Speaker 3: NFC Championship that nothing will top that twenty fourteen, you

1354
01:02:16,160 --> 01:02:18,240
Speaker 3: had the one again San Francisco in twenty twenty one

1355
01:02:18,280 --> 01:02:20,480
Speaker 3: where they couldn't score it. They had losing to ELI

1356
01:02:20,600 --> 01:02:23,280
Speaker 3: immediately after going having a one lost.

1357
01:02:23,040 --> 01:02:25,920
Speaker 4: Team that was rough. They had far of loving losing

1358
01:02:26,040 --> 01:02:26,520
Speaker 4: to ELI.

1359
01:02:27,040 --> 01:02:27,160
Speaker 13: Uh.

1360
01:02:27,280 --> 01:02:31,160
Speaker 3: In overtime. Uh, they lost to the Cardinals twice. In overtime.

1361
01:02:31,400 --> 01:02:34,160
Speaker 3: They lost to the Kaepernick two different times.

1362
01:02:34,760 --> 01:02:34,880
Speaker 11: Uh.

1363
01:02:35,360 --> 01:02:38,320
Speaker 3: There's a couple more NFC Championship games under Kyle Shanahan

1364
01:02:38,360 --> 01:02:40,680
Speaker 3: I haven't even mentioned before we even get to this one.

1365
01:02:40,800 --> 01:02:41,880
Speaker 4: It is it is crazy.

1366
01:02:42,040 --> 01:02:44,480
Speaker 1: I have a great idea. Yes, you could actually follow

1367
01:02:44,720 --> 01:02:47,960
Speaker 1: the model of my favorite team. Just don't make the playoffs.

1368
01:02:48,920 --> 01:02:52,040
Speaker 4: It's just saying on that like utter void, like a

1369
01:02:52,120 --> 01:02:54,480
Speaker 4: black holes, we don't have to compare. I'm just saying

1370
01:02:54,560 --> 01:02:56,200
Speaker 4: it is paid got to be painful.

1371
01:02:56,600 --> 01:02:59,840
Speaker 1: If I have, if one more person tweets me, uh,

1372
01:03:00,080 --> 01:03:02,240
Speaker 1: it's time to put the Packers on the pain ranking.

1373
01:03:02,400 --> 01:03:05,320
Speaker 4: No, shut up, all right. I do want to hear

1374
01:03:05,360 --> 01:03:06,439
Speaker 4: from Randy though, big funk.

1375
01:03:06,720 --> 01:03:08,560
Speaker 13: I just want to jump in and chime in about

1376
01:03:08,600 --> 01:03:12,200
Speaker 13: how Eric and I bonded through our sorrow before the

1377
01:03:12,280 --> 01:03:15,320
Speaker 13: game started. Because it seemed like every network was running

1378
01:03:15,560 --> 01:03:18,480
Speaker 13: compilations of first losses for the Packers and the Bills.

1379
01:03:19,200 --> 01:03:21,800
Speaker 13: You know, it's like we can't escape it, and the

1380
01:03:21,840 --> 01:03:26,400
Speaker 13: Boogeyman won this round again. I feel it's tough.

1381
01:03:26,920 --> 01:03:28,240
Speaker 4: It's tough. It's it's tough.

1382
01:03:28,640 --> 01:03:31,600
Speaker 13: I get where you're coming from though, because the Packers

1383
01:03:31,640 --> 01:03:34,240
Speaker 13: have it nice sort of. I guess I don't know.

1384
01:03:34,480 --> 01:03:35,000
Speaker 4: That sort of.

1385
01:03:35,520 --> 01:03:38,680
Speaker 1: You definitely have a nice you have another young superstar quarterback.

1386
01:03:38,800 --> 01:03:41,520
Speaker 4: But what does it matter. I think through all this

1387
01:03:41,800 --> 01:03:43,280
Speaker 4: then you will come back and say, you know what,

1388
01:03:43,400 --> 01:03:45,400
Speaker 4: you had a point. Yeah, all those years I think

1389
01:03:46,560 --> 01:03:47,040
Speaker 4: you look at it.

1390
01:03:47,120 --> 01:03:48,400
Speaker 13: Sure, but at the end of the year, it's like

1391
01:03:48,520 --> 01:03:50,680
Speaker 13: the Jets and the Packers, they're both in Kane kun right.

1392
01:03:50,680 --> 01:03:53,760
Speaker 1: Now, right, but there is I think Greg, you're kind

1393
01:03:53,760 --> 01:03:56,200
Speaker 1: of double talking here with your points here because you

1394
01:03:56,240 --> 01:03:58,360
Speaker 1: were just saying a couple of shows ago, you got

1395
01:03:58,440 --> 01:04:03,400
Speaker 1: to enjoy the experience, had a really fun ride this year.

1396
01:04:03,520 --> 01:04:07,600
Speaker 4: Look from Thanksgiving until five minutes to play, and it

1397
01:04:07,760 --> 01:04:09,000
Speaker 4: opens the door for the future.

1398
01:04:09,120 --> 01:04:11,560
Speaker 2: Like they like, there were questions whether they even had

1399
01:04:11,560 --> 01:04:13,560
Speaker 2: a quarterback and you do have right now.

1400
01:04:13,600 --> 01:04:15,919
Speaker 4: That's very wrong. That's what other teams do. Set up great.

1401
01:04:15,920 --> 01:04:18,240
Speaker 3: I just mean in that day, in the moment, it

1402
01:04:18,360 --> 01:04:21,160
Speaker 3: doesn't ease that pain. And that's a particular type of

1403
01:04:21,200 --> 01:04:23,240
Speaker 3: pain that unfortunately I have.

1404
01:04:23,400 --> 01:04:25,080
Speaker 1: I have other fan base, Like I said, I mean,

1405
01:04:25,160 --> 01:04:27,400
Speaker 1: Yankee man, I understand that side of it too. Yeah,

1406
01:04:27,520 --> 01:04:31,200
Speaker 1: I'm almost uniquely qualified to tell you that both are suck.

1407
01:04:31,880 --> 01:04:34,400
Speaker 1: But there's nothing worse than just being a laughing stock

1408
01:04:34,520 --> 01:04:36,919
Speaker 1: and never even no doubt getting a chance it gets.

1409
01:04:37,440 --> 01:04:40,000
Speaker 2: They're two different, they're quite different, but it is very.

1410
01:04:40,120 --> 01:04:42,880
Speaker 1: I totally empathize. And that's how we open the show

1411
01:04:43,160 --> 01:04:46,840
Speaker 1: with Bill's fans who deserve a chip. They still waiting

1412
01:04:47,280 --> 01:04:49,240
Speaker 1: And this felt like a special year and it wasn't.

1413
01:04:49,280 --> 01:04:52,560
Speaker 1: And for Packers fans, even though this was this was

1414
01:04:52,840 --> 01:04:55,920
Speaker 1: a prototypical house money game for a Green Bay to

1415
01:04:56,000 --> 01:04:57,760
Speaker 1: have a kind of a win almost in your back

1416
01:04:57,800 --> 01:04:58,760
Speaker 1: pocket and let it get away.

1417
01:04:58,840 --> 01:04:59,920
Speaker 4: You just you don't want to do that in the

1418
01:05:00,040 --> 01:05:03,280
Speaker 4: laos because you just never ever know. All right.

1419
01:05:04,200 --> 01:05:07,720
Speaker 1: That was the Sunday Drive presented by Toyota. Let's go

1420
01:05:07,880 --> 01:05:12,000
Speaker 1: places learn more at toyota dot com. Slash Grand Highlander.

1421
01:05:12,440 --> 01:05:15,000
Speaker 1: All right, let's finish it up the other NFC game.

1422
01:05:15,560 --> 01:05:18,440
Speaker 1: Back to Detroit. Yes, the place was hopping once again.

1423
01:05:19,240 --> 01:05:21,840
Speaker 4: Mayfield takes him straight to the line. With a minute forty,

1424
01:05:23,120 --> 01:05:23,960
Speaker 4: Baker leans in.

1425
01:05:24,120 --> 01:05:27,360
Speaker 5: There's the Snaplets comes Mayfield back loadscross.

1426
01:05:26,880 --> 01:05:30,560
Speaker 4: Pick on the Lions. The Lions by the Lions.

1427
01:05:30,800 --> 01:05:36,800
Speaker 5: Derek Bark, Bark, Dirk Barks, Betty one thirty three to go.

1428
01:05:38,240 --> 01:05:40,160
Speaker 4: The Laurians are going to San France.

1429
01:05:40,240 --> 01:05:40,560
Speaker 3: Let's go.

1430
01:05:41,600 --> 01:05:48,240
Speaker 4: Derek Barnes with the interception. Oh baby, stand up fort Field.

1431
01:05:48,320 --> 01:05:52,560
Speaker 4: Look at this? Whoo look at this? Wait? Am I?

1432
01:05:52,920 --> 01:05:55,040
Speaker 1: Do I have the timing wrong? Or are we in

1433
01:05:55,120 --> 01:06:00,920
Speaker 1: a simulation? Was the Detroit game before the Packer game?

1434
01:06:01,480 --> 01:06:05,000
Speaker 4: No? It was today? Oh my god, it was. It

1435
01:06:05,160 --> 01:06:07,200
Speaker 4: was the earlier game today. That was today.

1436
01:06:07,440 --> 01:06:10,720
Speaker 2: That feels like forty seven years right on Sky Sports

1437
01:06:10,800 --> 01:06:11,480
Speaker 2: at halftime.

1438
01:06:11,600 --> 01:06:13,920
Speaker 4: Don't I don't remember that? I am. I am with

1439
01:06:14,040 --> 01:06:16,000
Speaker 4: you on that. It does feel like it happened weeks ago.

1440
01:06:16,120 --> 01:06:19,280
Speaker 4: I've been infected with the rage zombie virus. You're right,

1441
01:06:19,360 --> 01:06:21,640
Speaker 4: that was that. I thought, like Dan's already booking the

1442
01:06:21,720 --> 01:06:23,560
Speaker 4: San Francisco trip. No, he was right.

1443
01:06:23,960 --> 01:06:26,960
Speaker 1: Dan Miller with the call with Lomas Brown. Lomas one

1444
01:06:26,960 --> 01:06:30,200
Speaker 1: of my favorite tropes. He's just the color guy screaming

1445
01:06:30,280 --> 01:06:33,960
Speaker 1: yes because a great moment happened w x YT for

1446
01:06:34,160 --> 01:06:37,600
Speaker 1: the team, and that was the interception of Baker Mayfield,

1447
01:06:37,720 --> 01:06:40,600
Speaker 1: the decisive play in a thirty one to twenty three

1448
01:06:40,680 --> 01:06:45,960
Speaker 1: win for the Lions over the Bucks. Greg you locked

1449
01:06:46,600 --> 01:06:50,760
Speaker 1: the former team of around the NFL and in another game,

1450
01:06:51,040 --> 01:06:53,280
Speaker 1: where the underdog came to play.

1451
01:06:53,520 --> 01:06:56,640
Speaker 4: This is a game. I believe he's seventeen seventeen in

1452
01:06:56,720 --> 01:06:57,400
Speaker 4: the second half.

1453
01:06:57,960 --> 01:07:02,080
Speaker 1: Detroit, like Baltimore now at the same level, but took

1454
01:07:02,160 --> 01:07:05,960
Speaker 1: control in crunch time when other teams might wilt.

1455
01:07:06,240 --> 01:07:08,200
Speaker 4: They said, no, no, no, no, no, one's beating us

1456
01:07:08,240 --> 01:07:09,919
Speaker 4: in our building, not in this spot. Yeah.

1457
01:07:10,360 --> 01:07:12,920
Speaker 3: I've been taking these last two weeks that the Lions

1458
01:07:13,040 --> 01:07:17,160
Speaker 3: defense has been opportunistic and really contributed to those wins.

1459
01:07:17,320 --> 01:07:18,040
Speaker 4: And you heard it there.

1460
01:07:18,080 --> 01:07:20,920
Speaker 3: They got just enough stops and got the interception at

1461
01:07:20,960 --> 01:07:23,440
Speaker 3: the end. But I also think how when it was

1462
01:07:24,080 --> 01:07:27,040
Speaker 3: ten ten going into the second half and the Lions

1463
01:07:27,040 --> 01:07:29,440
Speaker 3: don't get anything done on their first drive. After that,

1464
01:07:29,600 --> 01:07:32,720
Speaker 3: the lines that we know take over and get touchdowns

1465
01:07:32,760 --> 01:07:35,440
Speaker 3: on back to back to back drives. And there was

1466
01:07:35,480 --> 01:07:38,360
Speaker 3: a third and fifteen in there to a mon Ra

1467
01:07:38,600 --> 01:07:40,760
Speaker 3: Saint Brown that just says so much about the Lions.

1468
01:07:40,800 --> 01:07:42,520
Speaker 4: They protected up perfectly.

1469
01:07:42,640 --> 01:07:45,400
Speaker 3: Tampa could not get home today with their four man

1470
01:07:45,520 --> 01:07:49,200
Speaker 3: pass rush, and the blitz really wasn't that effective either.

1471
01:07:49,520 --> 01:07:52,760
Speaker 3: And they just have a laser on Zion McCollum, who

1472
01:07:52,920 --> 01:07:55,040
Speaker 3: just came into the game, and the Lions are so

1473
01:07:55,200 --> 01:07:58,240
Speaker 3: good at that Ben Johnson is always attacking weaknesses. Like

1474
01:07:58,360 --> 01:08:01,000
Speaker 3: a new guy comes in, it's fresh meet. Third and fifteen.

1475
01:08:01,160 --> 01:08:03,120
Speaker 3: There's no way we're running the ball here to like

1476
01:08:03,240 --> 01:08:06,200
Speaker 3: set up a closer field goal or make a shorter

1477
01:08:06,280 --> 01:08:06,640
Speaker 3: fourth down.

1478
01:08:06,720 --> 01:08:07,600
Speaker 4: No, we're going for it.

1479
01:08:07,800 --> 01:08:09,880
Speaker 3: Ragnow, who was in and out of this game, was

1480
01:08:09,880 --> 01:08:12,080
Speaker 3: an animal, protects it up. They hit it a mon

1481
01:08:12,240 --> 01:08:14,680
Speaker 3: rob breaks a tackle to get the first down on

1482
01:08:14,840 --> 01:08:17,960
Speaker 3: that play, and it was just really bold play calling

1483
01:08:18,520 --> 01:08:21,320
Speaker 3: like that. Throughout their running game wasn't working, so they

1484
01:08:21,439 --> 01:08:24,640
Speaker 3: called the third and one kind of fake where they

1485
01:08:24,720 --> 01:08:26,439
Speaker 3: get it to right. What is that guy's ny Brock

1486
01:08:26,600 --> 01:08:29,320
Speaker 3: right down the sideline the same plane against the Jets,

1487
01:08:29,400 --> 01:08:31,800
Speaker 3: Like everything they touched. They went for a fourth and

1488
01:08:31,880 --> 01:08:34,479
Speaker 3: goal as part of that touchdown, touchdown, touchdown.

1489
01:08:34,520 --> 01:08:35,280
Speaker 4: It started it off.

1490
01:08:35,360 --> 01:08:38,599
Speaker 3: They go for it like being bold, and then their

1491
01:08:38,640 --> 01:08:41,960
Speaker 3: players executing it and just playing smart. They they looked

1492
01:08:42,000 --> 01:08:43,479
Speaker 3: like the Lions we've seen all year today.

1493
01:08:43,520 --> 01:08:46,559
Speaker 2: Yeah, they keep being they keep emphasizing who they've been

1494
01:08:46,640 --> 01:08:49,000
Speaker 2: and how they got here, and they're not changing from that.

1495
01:08:49,560 --> 01:08:53,519
Speaker 2: They Dan Campbell refuses to shift identities, dialing up Craig

1496
01:08:53,600 --> 01:08:56,760
Speaker 2: Reynolds on that fourth and goal a surprise character in

1497
01:08:56,800 --> 01:09:00,439
Speaker 2: that situation. You're right that incredible sixteen yard to aman

1498
01:09:00,520 --> 01:09:03,320
Speaker 2: Ron Saint Brown on third and fifteen, Goff, you know

1499
01:09:03,360 --> 01:09:05,840
Speaker 2: if we're gonna praise rock Perty on that final drive,

1500
01:09:06,280 --> 01:09:08,719
Speaker 2: go from the fourth quarter hit his first eleven passes

1501
01:09:09,040 --> 01:09:11,040
Speaker 2: for one hundred and thirty one yards and a touchdown

1502
01:09:11,400 --> 01:09:12,920
Speaker 2: on those two long touchdown drives.

1503
01:09:12,960 --> 01:09:15,320
Speaker 4: So it's like GoF was money when it mattered most.

1504
01:09:15,720 --> 01:09:19,000
Speaker 2: And you know, this defense gave up four hundred and

1505
01:09:19,000 --> 01:09:21,160
Speaker 2: eight yards to a Buccaneers team that did not quit.

1506
01:09:21,479 --> 01:09:22,920
Speaker 2: But it really was going to come down to a

1507
01:09:22,960 --> 01:09:25,880
Speaker 2: big mistake. For as good as Baker Mayfield has been

1508
01:09:25,920 --> 01:09:28,240
Speaker 2: in these two games in this stretch, and the best

1509
01:09:28,320 --> 01:09:30,479
Speaker 2: version of himself, like that is the other side of

1510
01:09:30,520 --> 01:09:33,840
Speaker 2: Baker Mayfield, that mistake occurs and it's snuffed out what

1511
01:09:33,920 --> 01:09:36,679
Speaker 2: could have been a pretty spicy final couple of minutes

1512
01:09:36,680 --> 01:09:38,840
Speaker 2: because the Bucks, I give him credit, like they're not

1513
01:09:39,000 --> 01:09:41,760
Speaker 2: a great team, but they fought really hard in this game,

1514
01:09:42,040 --> 01:09:44,439
Speaker 2: and it's like some they believe in Baker Mayfield. But

1515
01:09:44,560 --> 01:09:47,880
Speaker 2: the Lions, same with Goff, and Goff talked about just

1516
01:09:47,960 --> 01:09:50,360
Speaker 2: feeling a calm throughout the fourth quarter, and I think

1517
01:09:50,400 --> 01:09:52,920
Speaker 2: this version who Jared goff is right now, and the

1518
01:09:52,960 --> 01:09:55,439
Speaker 2: way he operated in the final minutes says so much

1519
01:09:55,479 --> 01:09:56,519
Speaker 2: about this line's offense.

1520
01:09:56,640 --> 01:09:59,360
Speaker 1: Yeah, they it went from seventeen to seventeen to thirty

1521
01:09:59,400 --> 01:10:03,400
Speaker 1: one sevent team in a blink. And to Mayfield and

1522
01:10:03,960 --> 01:10:06,640
Speaker 1: Tampa Bay's credit, they go right down the field, they

1523
01:10:06,720 --> 01:10:09,520
Speaker 1: get the touchdown, they fail on the two point conversion

1524
01:10:10,080 --> 01:10:12,680
Speaker 1: and then get the stop and you're thinking, hmmm, this

1525
01:10:12,840 --> 01:10:13,519
Speaker 1: could be interesting.

1526
01:10:13,600 --> 01:10:16,040
Speaker 4: But Baker, yeah, makes that big mistake.

1527
01:10:16,120 --> 01:10:18,519
Speaker 1: Here's Baker after the game, obviously you saw it in

1528
01:10:18,600 --> 01:10:21,559
Speaker 1: the highlight or immediately after the play happened, hanging his head.

1529
01:10:21,600 --> 01:10:24,120
Speaker 1: He knew he had a chance to do something special

1530
01:10:24,160 --> 01:10:25,280
Speaker 1: and they could not get it done.

1531
01:10:26,080 --> 01:10:26,519
Speaker 4: It sucks.

1532
01:10:26,520 --> 01:10:28,040
Speaker 14: I feel like my heart just got ripped out. But

1533
01:10:28,920 --> 01:10:33,160
Speaker 14: it's Football is a complex game, but it's also simple.

1534
01:10:33,160 --> 01:10:34,840
Speaker 14: It comes down to taking care of the ball and

1535
01:10:35,040 --> 01:10:37,280
Speaker 14: in two minute drives like that, when you know you're

1536
01:10:37,320 --> 01:10:42,439
Speaker 14: gonna have four downs to use. Just a bad mistake

1537
01:10:42,520 --> 01:10:45,840
Speaker 14: by me. And it sucks because I know what type

1538
01:10:45,840 --> 01:10:47,519
Speaker 14: of group we've had all year that we fought to

1539
01:10:47,560 --> 01:10:49,200
Speaker 14: get to this point. We fought to be in that game.

1540
01:10:49,280 --> 01:10:51,120
Speaker 14: We weren't supposed to be here. By any measures, but

1541
01:10:51,160 --> 01:10:52,640
Speaker 14: we believed in each other and we fought for it,

1542
01:10:52,760 --> 01:10:55,600
Speaker 14: and so, yeah, this one's gonna weigh on.

1543
01:10:55,640 --> 01:10:56,120
Speaker 4: Me for a while.

1544
01:10:56,479 --> 01:10:58,000
Speaker 1: Yeah, And I thought it was interesting and I think

1545
01:10:58,000 --> 01:11:02,599
Speaker 1: they said it during the telecast that these are both players,

1546
01:11:03,600 --> 01:11:07,240
Speaker 1: Baker Mayfield and Jared Goff number one overall picks, and

1547
01:11:07,400 --> 01:11:09,559
Speaker 1: they had apparently spoken. This is a couple of weeks

1548
01:11:09,600 --> 01:11:12,240
Speaker 1: back before this lot of this matchup was set in

1549
01:11:12,240 --> 01:11:14,519
Speaker 1: the stone, they had a conversation Mayfield and GoF and

1550
01:11:14,600 --> 01:11:17,439
Speaker 1: they talked about how when you're a number one overall pick,

1551
01:11:17,560 --> 01:11:19,160
Speaker 1: you're kind of at the top of the mountain and

1552
01:11:19,240 --> 01:11:21,799
Speaker 1: you have to find a new chip on your shoulder.

1553
01:11:22,640 --> 01:11:25,280
Speaker 1: And for these guys, both their original teams, the Browns

1554
01:11:25,320 --> 01:11:28,720
Speaker 1: and Rams, essentially quit on them and now here they

1555
01:11:28,800 --> 01:11:31,680
Speaker 1: are resurrecting their careers. And here's GoF one win from

1556
01:11:31,720 --> 01:11:33,719
Speaker 1: getting back to the Super Bowls. Listening to Jared Goff,

1557
01:11:34,520 --> 01:11:37,639
Speaker 1: it's a credit to all the guys in there. We've

1558
01:11:37,680 --> 01:11:41,280
Speaker 1: said this a million times about how it's the same group.

1559
01:11:41,360 --> 01:11:43,760
Speaker 1: It's not like we've you know, added a ton, It's

1560
01:11:43,800 --> 01:11:46,120
Speaker 1: a lot of the same guys. And Brad and Dan

1561
01:11:46,760 --> 01:11:49,080
Speaker 1: have been very intentional about bringing in those type of

1562
01:11:49,120 --> 01:11:51,519
Speaker 1: guys who can handle moments like today and moments like

1563
01:11:51,600 --> 01:11:54,080
Speaker 1: last week and ups and downs of a season. And

1564
01:11:54,720 --> 01:11:56,760
Speaker 1: I think it's all been intentionally done by them, and

1565
01:11:57,680 --> 01:11:58,639
Speaker 1: we're not here by accident.

1566
01:11:59,479 --> 01:12:02,160
Speaker 3: Now, GoF avoided the negative plays today, and when he

1567
01:12:02,320 --> 01:12:04,840
Speaker 3: mentions that with Brad Holmes, it really is insane to

1568
01:12:04,960 --> 01:12:07,880
Speaker 3: think about how many of the draft picks. All the

1569
01:12:08,960 --> 01:12:11,320
Speaker 3: focus has been on this year's rookie class, but when

1570
01:12:11,400 --> 01:12:14,160
Speaker 3: Derek Brown made that play, I mean Derek Barnes made

1571
01:12:14,160 --> 01:12:16,880
Speaker 3: that play, it reminded me of all three of these classes,

1572
01:12:16,920 --> 01:12:19,960
Speaker 3: because they've done a really good job developing players. Derek

1573
01:12:20,000 --> 01:12:21,880
Speaker 3: Barnes is not like a household name, but if you

1574
01:12:21,920 --> 01:12:24,519
Speaker 3: think back to Week one, who is making all those

1575
01:12:24,680 --> 01:12:28,920
Speaker 3: huge run stops and just stuffing the Chiefs and big

1576
01:12:29,000 --> 01:12:32,200
Speaker 3: plays play after play, it's Derek Barnes and guys like

1577
01:12:32,360 --> 01:12:36,200
Speaker 3: Melafanu who they've developed slowly and has eventually turned into

1578
01:12:36,240 --> 01:12:39,479
Speaker 3: this great part of this three safety tandem with Cardner

1579
01:12:39,560 --> 01:12:43,519
Speaker 3: Johnson and Panee Sewell and Saint Brown our draft picks,

1580
01:12:43,560 --> 01:12:47,400
Speaker 3: and Hutchinson had another nice game, and just throughout it's

1581
01:12:47,479 --> 01:12:50,040
Speaker 3: all these homegrown players, and I think you get a

1582
01:12:50,120 --> 01:12:53,839
Speaker 3: sort of cohesion between the coaching staff and the players

1583
01:12:53,880 --> 01:12:56,240
Speaker 3: that is pretty rare and maybe can kind of carry

1584
01:12:56,320 --> 01:12:58,840
Speaker 3: them through a great game like this, which was weird

1585
01:12:59,280 --> 01:13:02,840
Speaker 3: mid third order mark, the Bucks were averaging seven point

1586
01:13:02,880 --> 01:13:05,519
Speaker 3: three yards per play and the Lions were averaging three

1587
01:13:05,600 --> 01:13:07,479
Speaker 3: point seven. It was it was kind of a strange

1588
01:13:07,520 --> 01:13:10,280
Speaker 3: game where the Lions were being opportunistic. But I wasn't

1589
01:13:10,360 --> 01:13:12,360
Speaker 3: watching it and thinking, Ooh, the Lions are a much

1590
01:13:12,439 --> 01:13:14,920
Speaker 3: better team here. I thought they were in trouble and

1591
01:13:15,000 --> 01:13:16,920
Speaker 3: they and they kind of stabilized and played their best

1592
01:13:17,000 --> 01:13:17,360
Speaker 3: at the end.

1593
01:13:17,479 --> 01:13:19,280
Speaker 2: Well, they're learning, I think, you know, it's like the

1594
01:13:19,360 --> 01:13:21,640
Speaker 2: Detroit Journeys. They're learning how to win games like this

1595
01:13:21,920 --> 01:13:24,000
Speaker 2: and to kind of work your way out of not

1596
01:13:24,120 --> 01:13:26,400
Speaker 2: your best performance. You know, the Niners did it, but

1597
01:13:26,479 --> 01:13:28,680
Speaker 2: the Niners have playoff experience. They kind of know they

1598
01:13:28,920 --> 01:13:31,040
Speaker 2: they know how to do it. I think it's really impressive,

1599
01:13:31,080 --> 01:13:32,960
Speaker 2: and I you know, it's like they remind me of

1600
01:13:33,520 --> 01:13:37,479
Speaker 2: the Rams Rad Holmes coming from Rams World, like Jamiir

1601
01:13:37,520 --> 01:13:39,360
Speaker 2: Gibbs someone that they were kind of like why on

1602
01:13:39,479 --> 01:13:42,200
Speaker 2: Earth of the Lions picking this running back this high

1603
01:13:42,200 --> 01:13:45,040
Speaker 2: in the draft? Watching Jamier Gibbs like he has commit

1604
01:13:45,080 --> 01:13:47,200
Speaker 2: a complete difference maker, just the speed alone and what

1605
01:13:47,280 --> 01:13:50,000
Speaker 2: he did today in key moments. It's like every one

1606
01:13:50,080 --> 01:13:53,280
Speaker 2: of the players you mentioned, all these rookies, second year,

1607
01:13:53,400 --> 01:13:55,720
Speaker 2: third year guys, they've hit on them over and over,

1608
01:13:56,160 --> 01:13:59,040
Speaker 2: and it the emphasis is that Jared Goff, who they

1609
01:13:59,080 --> 01:14:01,839
Speaker 2: were pretty playingly honest about from the beginning.

1610
01:14:02,120 --> 01:14:03,840
Speaker 4: We believe in him, We'll see what happens.

1611
01:14:03,880 --> 01:14:07,080
Speaker 2: They didn't just chase quickly another rookie quarterback to supplant

1612
01:14:07,120 --> 01:14:09,559
Speaker 2: him with, and they've made the best version of Jared

1613
01:14:09,600 --> 01:14:12,519
Speaker 2: Goff come alive because of that belief. I think Jared

1614
01:14:12,560 --> 01:14:15,559
Speaker 2: Goff had his confidence cracked like an egg coming out

1615
01:14:15,600 --> 01:14:17,760
Speaker 2: of that Rams experience. And it's like there is something

1616
01:14:17,800 --> 01:14:20,280
Speaker 2: to the mentality of an athlete to say, we believe

1617
01:14:20,320 --> 01:14:22,680
Speaker 2: in you, go do it, and now here you are

1618
01:14:22,760 --> 01:14:23,639
Speaker 2: is Detroit Lions fans.

1619
01:14:23,720 --> 01:14:27,040
Speaker 4: Yeah, everyone thought they had Jared Goff nail.

1620
01:14:27,240 --> 01:14:31,200
Speaker 1: Like this was a guy from you know, northern California,

1621
01:14:31,600 --> 01:14:34,280
Speaker 1: a number one draft pick who really wasn't deserving of it.

1622
01:14:34,400 --> 01:14:36,599
Speaker 1: He was a bust and then oh he was Actually

1623
01:14:36,680 --> 01:14:38,559
Speaker 1: he had some good years, but he was propped up

1624
01:14:38,600 --> 01:14:41,760
Speaker 1: by Sean mcvay's brilliant offense at the time, and then

1625
01:14:41,880 --> 01:14:44,439
Speaker 1: he was shipped off to Detroit to be a starter

1626
01:14:44,560 --> 01:14:46,519
Speaker 1: for maybe a year before he became a back with

1627
01:14:46,560 --> 01:14:50,200
Speaker 1: the rest of his career. No, because, like Dan Campbell said, like,

1628
01:14:50,560 --> 01:14:54,120
Speaker 1: you're good enough for Detroit, and the fact that Brad

1629
01:14:54,160 --> 01:14:57,200
Speaker 1: Holmes and Dan Campbell and that organization saw in GoF

1630
01:14:57,400 --> 01:14:59,080
Speaker 1: not a bridge guy, but a guy that could be

1631
01:14:59,120 --> 01:15:02,040
Speaker 1: a major part of this operation moving forward. Nobody else

1632
01:15:02,080 --> 01:15:04,760
Speaker 1: saw that. And the building the roster the way they have,

1633
01:15:06,160 --> 01:15:08,360
Speaker 1: people didn't see that. You think back to the opening

1634
01:15:08,439 --> 01:15:11,160
Speaker 1: press conference, and in fact, I think we have some

1635
01:15:11,280 --> 01:15:14,920
Speaker 1: sound from Campbell on that the opening press conference where

1636
01:15:15,160 --> 01:15:17,880
Speaker 1: it's infamous. I'll tell you how infamous it is, the

1637
01:15:18,280 --> 01:15:22,120
Speaker 1: the biting the kneecaps press conference, which remember the lines

1638
01:15:22,160 --> 01:15:25,599
Speaker 1: were a laughing stock of the time before that season started.

1639
01:15:25,840 --> 01:15:28,800
Speaker 1: This is two years ago. Colleen and I did the

1640
01:15:28,880 --> 01:15:35,200
Speaker 1: first Hard Knocks podcast series and we noticed that it

1641
01:15:35,360 --> 01:15:37,880
Speaker 1: wasn't in the first episode. You're like, oh, of course

1642
01:15:37,920 --> 01:15:39,360
Speaker 1: that's gonna be in the episode. They're going to play

1643
01:15:39,360 --> 01:15:41,240
Speaker 1: off that. Then we were told, no, don't talk about

1644
01:15:41,280 --> 01:15:44,400
Speaker 1: it either. The Lions and the and and Campbell were

1645
01:15:44,439 --> 01:15:47,400
Speaker 1: sensitive that that was being taken and put in a

1646
01:15:47,400 --> 01:15:49,439
Speaker 1: different way to get how he was known. He was

1647
01:15:49,479 --> 01:15:51,599
Speaker 1: like a cartoon character, the way he looked, the way

1648
01:15:51,640 --> 01:15:54,439
Speaker 1: he talked, the way he was saying, and everyone like

1649
01:15:54,560 --> 01:15:56,640
Speaker 1: Jared Goff and so many of these other guys, we

1650
01:15:57,280 --> 01:16:01,920
Speaker 1: underestimated the Lions. Here's a here's Campbell talking about the

1651
01:16:02,000 --> 01:16:04,280
Speaker 1: beginning of his tenure and how that has changed.

1652
01:16:04,360 --> 01:16:04,479
Speaker 4: Now.

1653
01:16:05,280 --> 01:16:07,960
Speaker 10: Man that first presco and press has got to kill legends.

1654
01:16:09,040 --> 01:16:11,840
Speaker 4: He caps all that. Initially though, there was kind of like,

1655
01:16:12,080 --> 01:16:14,160
Speaker 4: what what did the Lions higher with this guy?

1656
01:16:14,439 --> 01:16:15,439
Speaker 10: Do you hear that then?

1657
01:16:15,520 --> 01:16:16,080
Speaker 12: And what do you bet?

1658
01:16:16,200 --> 01:16:17,200
Speaker 7: You're probably one of them?

1659
01:16:21,479 --> 01:16:26,280
Speaker 1: To each his own talk about that last little great line.

1660
01:16:26,520 --> 01:16:28,400
Speaker 1: You know, it's been sticking in his car for a

1661
01:16:28,479 --> 01:16:30,120
Speaker 1: long time, but they're getting the last laugh.

1662
01:16:30,200 --> 01:16:31,519
Speaker 4: Now, that's awesome.

1663
01:16:31,640 --> 01:16:34,439
Speaker 3: I that it's also Campbell sticking it to the whole

1664
01:16:34,560 --> 01:16:37,680
Speaker 3: like people were saying back that you, it's probably you.

1665
01:16:37,840 --> 01:16:40,840
Speaker 4: He is definitely someone. I bet that everybody was kept.

1666
01:16:41,160 --> 01:16:43,559
Speaker 1: We had our fun with the Lions at that time,

1667
01:16:43,640 --> 01:16:46,320
Speaker 1: and Campbell, who you know, didn't have a big resume.

1668
01:16:46,439 --> 01:16:49,960
Speaker 1: But we're saying Mark, like damn if they and this

1669
01:16:50,160 --> 01:16:52,479
Speaker 1: is't do not tell the Lions, you do tell Dan

1670
01:16:52,600 --> 01:16:55,880
Speaker 1: Campbell that they're playing with house money in San Francisco.

1671
01:16:56,320 --> 01:16:59,000
Speaker 1: This team, this team believes that they can win a

1672
01:16:59,080 --> 01:17:01,599
Speaker 1: Super Bowl and if if they ever did it sas dog,

1673
01:17:02,120 --> 01:17:04,160
Speaker 1: if they ever even just made the Super but if

1674
01:17:04,160 --> 01:17:08,679
Speaker 1: they won it, He's Mike Ditka. He is a national

1675
01:17:08,800 --> 01:17:11,719
Speaker 1: celebrity of the highest order when you talk about sports

1676
01:17:11,760 --> 01:17:16,760
Speaker 1: figures in America like this, he's become a star and

1677
01:17:17,920 --> 01:17:20,000
Speaker 1: seize the moment because I'll name another one.

1678
01:17:20,080 --> 01:17:23,240
Speaker 4: Remember Rex Ryan. Yep, he became a star overnight.

1679
01:17:23,360 --> 01:17:25,679
Speaker 1: And again you think because they went to the Jets

1680
01:17:25,760 --> 01:17:27,719
Speaker 1: in nine and ten, they went to the AFC Championship

1681
01:17:27,720 --> 01:17:29,840
Speaker 1: Game two years in a row, you think it's just

1682
01:17:29,880 --> 01:17:33,040
Speaker 1: gonna go on forever. Maybe this is the moment for

1683
01:17:33,200 --> 01:17:35,599
Speaker 1: the Detroit Lions right now. And even but I will

1684
01:17:35,600 --> 01:17:37,599
Speaker 1: say this, even if things do not go well next

1685
01:17:37,640 --> 01:17:40,639
Speaker 1: week in San Francisco, you can't take away what happened

1686
01:17:40,680 --> 01:17:43,439
Speaker 1: these two weeks, these two home games, and the wins,

1687
01:17:43,560 --> 01:17:45,600
Speaker 1: and the crowd and the feel around it that is

1688
01:17:46,080 --> 01:17:48,280
Speaker 1: this is for Lions fans. This will be a season

1689
01:17:48,360 --> 01:17:50,280
Speaker 1: that will be viewed warmly no matter what happens.

1690
01:17:50,400 --> 01:17:53,479
Speaker 2: Yeah, because before you had Ditka's nineteen eighty five Bears.

1691
01:17:53,600 --> 01:17:56,280
Speaker 2: You had the eighty four Bears that learned how to

1692
01:17:56,720 --> 01:17:59,240
Speaker 2: do what the eighty five Bears did, and I think

1693
01:17:59,280 --> 01:18:02,320
Speaker 2: you're talking so you mentioned that in the screening room,

1694
01:18:02,560 --> 01:18:05,759
Speaker 2: and I love the DNA the comparison between Ditka Campbell

1695
01:18:05,960 --> 01:18:08,000
Speaker 2: and Rex Ryan because Rex Ryan came in and said,

1696
01:18:08,040 --> 01:18:10,400
Speaker 2: I don't care what we've been, We're gonna be something

1697
01:18:10,479 --> 01:18:12,960
Speaker 2: different now, and it resonated we're.

1698
01:18:12,840 --> 01:18:15,640
Speaker 1: Not gonna kiss Belichick's exactly. I don't care what, I

1699
01:18:15,680 --> 01:18:17,479
Speaker 1: don't care what the order was here before.

1700
01:18:17,800 --> 01:18:18,559
Speaker 4: It's a new order.

1701
01:18:18,640 --> 01:18:20,800
Speaker 2: And Ditka took it to Bears team that was lost

1702
01:18:20,840 --> 01:18:22,800
Speaker 2: at sea for a long time did the same thing.

1703
01:18:23,000 --> 01:18:25,040
Speaker 2: And who's been more lost at sea than the Lions.

1704
01:18:25,320 --> 01:18:27,920
Speaker 2: And it's a lot to do with Dan Campbell's just

1705
01:18:28,120 --> 01:18:30,640
Speaker 2: willing this team to do it his own way, and

1706
01:18:30,760 --> 01:18:33,000
Speaker 2: he was doubted because of his personality out of the gate,

1707
01:18:33,240 --> 01:18:35,519
Speaker 2: but they believe in him with every fiber of.

1708
01:18:35,520 --> 01:18:38,120
Speaker 3: Their being and his ability to hit on on big

1709
01:18:38,200 --> 01:18:40,720
Speaker 3: decisions like Aaron Glenn, I thought had a really good

1710
01:18:40,800 --> 01:18:42,320
Speaker 3: day today. And I know they were giving up a

1711
01:18:42,360 --> 01:18:43,760
Speaker 3: lot of yards, but if you think of why the

1712
01:18:43,840 --> 01:18:47,880
Speaker 3: bucks drives kept stopping, it's because they kept finding the

1713
01:18:48,000 --> 01:18:51,040
Speaker 3: free rusher to get to Baker Mayfield, who ended up

1714
01:18:51,080 --> 01:18:54,000
Speaker 3: taking a few sacks. I thought Baker actually played quite

1715
01:18:54,080 --> 01:18:56,679
Speaker 3: well in this game the until that interception. The first

1716
01:18:56,720 --> 01:19:00,479
Speaker 3: interception came off and drop Evans finishes with one. Baker

1717
01:19:00,520 --> 01:19:02,760
Speaker 3: throws for three forty nine. He had the fourth and

1718
01:19:02,880 --> 01:19:05,720
Speaker 3: fifteen play to keep their season live. He had the

1719
01:19:05,760 --> 01:19:08,320
Speaker 3: play where he almost was sacked and then he's rolling

1720
01:19:08,360 --> 01:19:10,280
Speaker 3: out and make you know, one of the best plays

1721
01:19:10,400 --> 01:19:14,840
Speaker 3: any quarterback made all weekend. And yet I think the

1722
01:19:14,960 --> 01:19:17,599
Speaker 3: coaching for the Lions is just better, and I compare

1723
01:19:17,640 --> 01:19:22,000
Speaker 3: it to the Bucks, where Bowles has been bolder this season.

1724
01:19:22,160 --> 01:19:25,040
Speaker 3: He's kind of gotten some pop in Tampa of like, oh,

1725
01:19:25,120 --> 01:19:26,720
Speaker 3: it's a new Todd Bowles, but today there.

1726
01:19:26,800 --> 01:19:29,320
Speaker 4: Is electric Todd Bowls. It's just a couple spots.

1727
01:19:29,360 --> 01:19:31,680
Speaker 3: There was a there was a fourth and one at

1728
01:19:31,720 --> 01:19:33,800
Speaker 3: his own thirty five in the first half, and I

1729
01:19:33,920 --> 01:19:35,600
Speaker 3: know it's your own thirty five. But the way that

1730
01:19:35,680 --> 01:19:37,960
Speaker 3: game was going, they were running the ball really well.

1731
01:19:38,040 --> 01:19:40,679
Speaker 3: Rashade White ran for six point one yards per Carrie

1732
01:19:40,840 --> 01:19:44,360
Speaker 3: Edmunds went four point eight and he punts there. Uh,

1733
01:19:44,479 --> 01:19:46,479
Speaker 3: there was the they kicked the fifty yard field goal,

1734
01:19:46,479 --> 01:19:47,840
Speaker 3: which I'm not going to kill him, but it was

1735
01:19:47,880 --> 01:19:51,280
Speaker 3: a fourth and five. Who's their kicker. He's been great

1736
01:19:51,320 --> 01:19:53,960
Speaker 3: all year. I literally think that was his first miskick

1737
01:19:54,000 --> 01:19:56,840
Speaker 3: all year. That wasn't a block. Chase McLoughlin's been kind

1738
01:19:56,840 --> 01:19:58,679
Speaker 3: of under the radar, A is like having a great season.

1739
01:19:58,720 --> 01:19:59,920
Speaker 4: He's been the top five my kicker.

1740
01:20:00,280 --> 01:20:02,280
Speaker 3: And then at the very end, they're down a touchdown

1741
01:20:02,280 --> 01:20:04,439
Speaker 3: and I know it's transgressive, but it was fourth and

1742
01:20:04,600 --> 01:20:07,560
Speaker 3: four I think at their own thirty or so, and

1743
01:20:07,920 --> 01:20:10,200
Speaker 3: that's just a no thought punt there. But the way

1744
01:20:10,280 --> 01:20:12,200
Speaker 3: that game was going, I was like, man, the Lions

1745
01:20:12,240 --> 01:20:13,639
Speaker 3: are just going to go down the field and score

1746
01:20:13,680 --> 01:20:14,280
Speaker 3: a touchdown here?

1747
01:20:14,360 --> 01:20:16,120
Speaker 4: Isn't that crazy to go for that fourth and before?

1748
01:20:16,120 --> 01:20:17,680
Speaker 3: He didn't even think about it, and they did go

1749
01:20:17,760 --> 01:20:19,760
Speaker 3: down and score the touch Inside thought he was not

1750
01:20:19,960 --> 01:20:21,679
Speaker 3: that bold in some big spots.

1751
01:20:22,120 --> 01:20:24,680
Speaker 4: That's kind of bulls. I mean, that's part of it.

1752
01:20:24,760 --> 01:20:26,680
Speaker 1: But they and they have a big decision to make

1753
01:20:26,720 --> 01:20:31,120
Speaker 1: with Baker, who really outperformed this contract and had a

1754
01:20:31,240 --> 01:20:32,920
Speaker 1: nice year overall for that.

1755
01:20:33,000 --> 01:20:35,639
Speaker 4: Team, and we're going to see what happens next.

1756
01:20:36,320 --> 01:20:38,080
Speaker 1: I think we got to give the last word to

1757
01:20:38,720 --> 01:20:44,120
Speaker 1: Dan Campbell, who gave us some thoughts on this Lions

1758
01:20:44,200 --> 01:20:47,120
Speaker 1: team and this moment in the city in which they play.

1759
01:20:48,600 --> 01:20:50,880
Speaker 7: Well, I think it's important, right, I mean, you can't.

1760
01:20:51,720 --> 01:20:53,400
Speaker 7: I don't know if it's you know, it's not the

1761
01:20:53,479 --> 01:20:55,160
Speaker 7: first thing you think of if you go to LA

1762
01:20:55,760 --> 01:20:58,160
Speaker 7: or just in general. Right, you got to sign, you

1763
01:20:58,240 --> 01:21:00,200
Speaker 7: got the beach, you got plenty of other things is

1764
01:21:00,240 --> 01:21:03,880
Speaker 7: going on, and here, man, that's fire man. It's harsh winners, right,

1765
01:21:04,280 --> 01:21:11,000
Speaker 7: Auto industry, blue collar things aren't always easy. And I

1766
01:21:11,200 --> 01:21:15,800
Speaker 7: just think that's you know, that's what we were about,

1767
01:21:15,920 --> 01:21:18,920
Speaker 7: and that that was you know, you want something in

1768
01:21:18,960 --> 01:21:19,880
Speaker 7: the city can be proud of.

1769
01:21:20,040 --> 01:21:20,200
Speaker 12: Though.

1770
01:21:20,280 --> 01:21:21,880
Speaker 7: You can look at those guys and say, man, I

1771
01:21:21,920 --> 01:21:24,160
Speaker 7: can back that guy. I can back that team. You know,

1772
01:21:24,280 --> 01:21:26,000
Speaker 7: I can resonate with those group of guys.

1773
01:21:27,040 --> 01:21:27,839
Speaker 4: I feel attacked.

1774
01:21:28,960 --> 01:21:32,040
Speaker 1: Stopped on Southern California with the sun every week for

1775
01:21:32,160 --> 01:21:34,639
Speaker 1: me is just a war right in my home. It's

1776
01:21:34,720 --> 01:21:37,000
Speaker 1: just a battle to my wife and I just to

1777
01:21:37,080 --> 01:21:40,040
Speaker 1: survive and grind through with the two maniac boys and

1778
01:21:40,600 --> 01:21:44,080
Speaker 1: the pressures, the traffic being on an internationally known podcast.

1779
01:21:44,200 --> 01:21:46,960
Speaker 1: Don't give me that look, Rosen, I'm with you. Give

1780
01:21:46,960 --> 01:21:48,479
Speaker 1: me that face I'm.

1781
01:21:48,360 --> 01:21:51,639
Speaker 3: Giving you Dave Campbell that look oh like oh La

1782
01:21:51,760 --> 01:21:52,519
Speaker 3: with their beaches.

1783
01:21:53,400 --> 01:21:56,760
Speaker 4: Hey, when we drove to uh Walker's.

1784
01:21:56,439 --> 01:22:01,800
Speaker 3: Basketball game, we had to park uneath indoors because it

1785
01:22:01,920 --> 01:22:04,479
Speaker 3: was rainy outside. Usually we park on the street, but

1786
01:22:04,560 --> 01:22:07,080
Speaker 3: we wanted to get it, you know, under under the roof.

1787
01:22:07,560 --> 01:22:08,320
Speaker 3: We parked inside.

1788
01:22:08,360 --> 01:22:11,559
Speaker 1: And when I took when I took my dog Captain

1789
01:22:11,640 --> 01:22:15,080
Speaker 1: to the beach on Friday, right around sunset, and that

1790
01:22:15,240 --> 01:22:18,480
Speaker 1: my boys brought a frisbee, there was a sign outside

1791
01:22:18,520 --> 01:22:21,519
Speaker 1: that beach that said no dog's allowed even in the

1792
01:22:21,640 --> 01:22:22,280
Speaker 1: off season.

1793
01:22:22,720 --> 01:22:24,439
Speaker 2: Yeah, and I'd say like if you uh, you know,

1794
01:22:24,600 --> 01:22:26,439
Speaker 2: if there are times if you were to buy an

1795
01:22:26,439 --> 01:22:28,760
Speaker 2: ice cream cone, you've got to get into an inside

1796
01:22:28,880 --> 01:22:31,240
Speaker 2: area so that the sun and the warmth don't melt

1797
01:22:31,280 --> 01:22:32,840
Speaker 2: it prematurely while you're trying to eat it.

1798
01:22:33,040 --> 01:22:35,400
Speaker 4: Thank you so waiting for your apology.

1799
01:22:35,479 --> 01:22:37,439
Speaker 3: Go to the beach this morning, because on the West Coast,

1800
01:22:37,479 --> 01:22:39,559
Speaker 3: another nice thing. It's like, oh, a nice noon start

1801
01:22:39,640 --> 01:22:40,200
Speaker 3: for the NFL.

1802
01:22:40,200 --> 01:22:43,720
Speaker 1: We'll get out I think den kimbro Point without having

1803
01:22:43,760 --> 01:22:47,639
Speaker 1: to retort. But that is very nice and we will

1804
01:22:47,720 --> 01:22:51,080
Speaker 1: see what the Lions do. I would love I mean,

1805
01:22:51,120 --> 01:22:56,200
Speaker 1: I did have about third quarter of Bill's chiefs. I

1806
01:22:56,320 --> 01:23:00,200
Speaker 1: started to openly daydream about the idea of us being

1807
01:23:00,240 --> 01:23:03,760
Speaker 1: in Vegas and fans from Detroit and Buffalo pouring into

1808
01:23:03,800 --> 01:23:07,600
Speaker 1: the city on Friday afternoon and what that scene would be.

1809
01:23:08,040 --> 01:23:10,960
Speaker 1: We lost the Bills unfortunately today. But and I'm not

1810
01:23:11,120 --> 01:23:14,080
Speaker 1: necessarily rooting for uh no, I am. I am rooting

1811
01:23:14,080 --> 01:23:15,759
Speaker 1: for the Lines. How can you not root for the Lions?

1812
01:23:15,760 --> 01:23:17,880
Speaker 1: I mean so, I think a lot of people across

1813
01:23:17,960 --> 01:23:20,280
Speaker 1: the country are gonna be pulling for the Lions. But

1814
01:23:20,520 --> 01:23:25,200
Speaker 1: look their opponent, the forty nine Ers. They're they're they're shinier,

1815
01:23:25,720 --> 01:23:29,599
Speaker 1: they're sexier, they're they're Californian too, And uh, they've been

1816
01:23:29,680 --> 01:23:31,760
Speaker 1: trying to get over this hump for years as well.

1817
01:23:31,840 --> 01:23:35,519
Speaker 1: They haven't not won the Super Bowl since what nineteen ninety.

1818
01:23:35,720 --> 01:23:38,000
Speaker 2: I guess five patty cake around the Packers and the

1819
01:23:38,080 --> 01:23:40,360
Speaker 2: impossible nature of what their fans have been through, like

1820
01:23:40,720 --> 01:23:42,479
Speaker 2: Niners fans have been through a lot too.

1821
01:23:42,600 --> 01:23:45,519
Speaker 4: I'm not yet Super Bowl. Uh that would that would be?

1822
01:23:45,680 --> 01:23:47,519
Speaker 3: That would have been a brood a lot for the

1823
01:23:47,960 --> 01:23:50,559
Speaker 3: forty nine if you want to guess the uh spread, Yeah,

1824
01:23:50,560 --> 01:23:51,560
Speaker 3: those teams hang on.

1825
01:23:51,880 --> 01:23:54,080
Speaker 4: Let me think about pack Gotta get this right, all right?

1826
01:23:54,200 --> 01:23:55,839
Speaker 4: So we got Niners Lions.

1827
01:23:56,000 --> 01:23:58,599
Speaker 1: I like, I'm gonna say they're gonna put the Niners.

1828
01:23:58,760 --> 01:24:01,080
Speaker 1: They're gonna install them at four and a half.

1829
01:24:01,360 --> 01:24:04,840
Speaker 4: I'd say five and a half. Seven.

1830
01:24:05,360 --> 01:24:07,920
Speaker 3: Wow, okay, interesting, I mean they were nine and a

1831
01:24:07,960 --> 01:24:09,080
Speaker 3: half against the Packers.

1832
01:24:09,200 --> 01:24:11,360
Speaker 1: I just thought it would be some more respect. And

1833
01:24:11,479 --> 01:24:14,720
Speaker 1: then the other game Baltimore Kansasity. That's a tough one.

1834
01:24:14,720 --> 01:24:20,400
Speaker 1: I'm gonna say right now, Baltimore minus three Baltimore three

1835
01:24:20,439 --> 01:24:21,920
Speaker 1: and a half. Three and a half is right on

1836
01:24:21,960 --> 01:24:25,360
Speaker 1: the number. There you go, Mark, you've got a future

1837
01:24:25,400 --> 01:24:27,080
Speaker 1: in this? About that, Mark, I do not have your

1838
01:24:27,120 --> 01:24:28,479
Speaker 1: future rainment, not in this.

1839
01:24:28,720 --> 01:24:31,799
Speaker 2: Uh not when we're not not being employed by this company.

1840
01:24:33,760 --> 01:24:34,640
Speaker 4: All right. So there you go.

1841
01:24:34,840 --> 01:24:38,040
Speaker 1: That is the breakdown of Divisional Round weekend. There are

1842
01:24:38,200 --> 01:24:41,920
Speaker 1: only three games left in this season. Oh one more thing,

1843
01:24:42,760 --> 01:24:47,200
Speaker 1: Big Funk pointed out. Shot me a little note that

1844
01:24:47,479 --> 01:24:49,280
Speaker 1: there is a photo and this is for people watching

1845
01:24:49,360 --> 01:24:54,120
Speaker 1: on YouTube of Eric the our producer, who really a

1846
01:24:54,200 --> 01:24:58,000
Speaker 1: great effort watching this game upstairs.

1847
01:24:57,840 --> 01:25:00,200
Speaker 4: In basically hiding under a desk at this point. What

1848
01:25:00,439 --> 01:25:01,120
Speaker 4: is going on?

1849
01:25:01,640 --> 01:25:06,040
Speaker 1: You're behind a preschool basketball hoop that plastic you know,

1850
01:25:06,160 --> 01:25:09,320
Speaker 1: the taike one, and you're sitting against the window sill

1851
01:25:09,400 --> 01:25:12,400
Speaker 1: but kind of tucked away like yeah, like almost like

1852
