1
00:00:01,040 --> 00:00:06,480
Speaker 1: This is the Action Network Podcast, but this one is good.

2
00:00:08,200 --> 00:00:08,520
Speaker 2: All right.

3
00:00:08,520 --> 00:00:15,080
Speaker 1: Here we go throwing in Joe. We're saying it's a cash.

4
00:00:15,040 --> 00:00:19,400
Speaker 3: To see most gamblers when they go to gamble, they

5
00:00:19,480 --> 00:00:24,479
Speaker 3: go to win. God, that's incredible, Big banks bank, I

6
00:00:24,560 --> 00:00:25,439
Speaker 3: like to make money.

7
00:00:25,480 --> 00:00:25,840
Speaker 1: All right.

8
00:00:26,480 --> 00:00:29,840
Speaker 3: This is the ultimate kabata.

9
00:00:31,600 --> 00:00:33,320
Speaker 1: And we are underway.

10
00:00:34,400 --> 00:00:37,720
Speaker 4: Hello, and welcome through the Action Network Podcast.

11
00:00:38,400 --> 00:00:40,640
Speaker 3: We have ourselves a super Bowl.

12
00:00:40,800 --> 00:00:44,360
Speaker 4: We've got rams, we've got bangles. We are getting ready

13
00:00:44,360 --> 00:00:47,160
Speaker 4: for that just a two weeks from now. I'm your host,

14
00:00:47,159 --> 00:00:50,840
Speaker 4: Brandon Anderson here as always with Raheem Palmer to wrap

15
00:00:50,960 --> 00:00:53,199
Speaker 4: up Conference Championship Sunday.

16
00:00:53,800 --> 00:00:55,360
Speaker 3: Two huge comebacks.

17
00:00:55,440 --> 00:00:58,120
Speaker 4: We had, one of them the biggest fourth quarter comeback

18
00:00:58,160 --> 00:01:01,400
Speaker 4: in conference championship history, and one of them the biggest

19
00:01:01,440 --> 00:01:06,560
Speaker 4: comeback in conference championship history. Rahim our forty nine ers

20
00:01:06,600 --> 00:01:08,280
Speaker 4: futures finally busted.

21
00:01:08,560 --> 00:01:09,200
Speaker 3: I'm crushed.

22
00:01:10,000 --> 00:01:11,759
Speaker 1: Yeah, it was absolutely devastating.

23
00:01:11,800 --> 00:01:15,120
Speaker 2: It actually reminded me of the Kansas City Chiefs forty

24
00:01:15,200 --> 00:01:17,720
Speaker 2: nine ers Super Bowl. Forty Nineers had a ten point

25
00:01:17,800 --> 00:01:20,640
Speaker 2: lead in the fourth quarter and just couldn't hold on.

26
00:01:21,280 --> 00:01:23,000
Speaker 2: I had a big bet on the forty nine ers.

27
00:01:23,040 --> 00:01:24,520
Speaker 2: I know some of you guys might have sald it

28
00:01:24,560 --> 00:01:27,280
Speaker 2: on my Twitter. So they covered the three and a half.

29
00:01:27,480 --> 00:01:29,440
Speaker 2: But it got a little shaky there at the end,

30
00:01:29,720 --> 00:01:32,360
Speaker 2: and we were lucky enough to hold on. But unfortunately

31
00:01:32,400 --> 00:01:33,680
Speaker 2: our futures.

32
00:01:33,280 --> 00:01:37,759
Speaker 4: Died slow and fast. Up for futures. So Niners are

33
00:01:37,880 --> 00:01:41,960
Speaker 4: up ten with seventeen minutes left. Not only just these futures,

34
00:01:42,000 --> 00:01:44,440
Speaker 4: but Super Bowl futures too. Suddenly got a shot at

35
00:01:44,480 --> 00:01:46,800
Speaker 4: the Bengals. You got a six seed Niners team that's

36
00:01:46,840 --> 00:01:49,760
Speaker 4: going to be favored in the Super Bowl one quarter

37
00:01:49,840 --> 00:01:53,040
Speaker 4: away and get the job done. So we'll get into that.

38
00:01:53,600 --> 00:01:56,760
Speaker 4: We'll do a Super Bowl hot read on rams Bengals.

39
00:01:57,240 --> 00:02:00,280
Speaker 4: We'll celebrate a little Dion Sanders and Trey Lance wearing

40
00:02:00,280 --> 00:02:02,720
Speaker 4: our jerseys in honor of our Niners. We had a

41
00:02:02,760 --> 00:02:05,920
Speaker 4: good run with our guys over the last month. Odds Today,

42
00:02:05,960 --> 00:02:08,320
Speaker 4: as always from bet MGM, the official outs provider of

43
00:02:08,360 --> 00:02:11,079
Speaker 4: the action of our podcast. You know the drive. We're

44
00:02:11,120 --> 00:02:13,240
Speaker 4: just gonna go through both these games. So let's start

45
00:02:13,240 --> 00:02:15,560
Speaker 4: out in the AFC. I don't even know if you

46
00:02:15,600 --> 00:02:18,320
Speaker 4: call it a Bengals comeback or Chiefs collapse. I think

47
00:02:18,360 --> 00:02:19,280
Speaker 4: a little bit of both.

48
00:02:19,760 --> 00:02:20,600
Speaker 3: Chiefs go up.

49
00:02:20,440 --> 00:02:24,760
Speaker 4: Twenty one to three, They're just rolling at this point,

50
00:02:25,000 --> 00:02:26,640
Speaker 4: and the Bengals come all the way back.

51
00:02:26,720 --> 00:02:27,640
Speaker 3: The Chiefs only.

52
00:02:27,480 --> 00:02:30,680
Speaker 4: Score three more the entire rest of the game. We

53
00:02:30,800 --> 00:02:34,080
Speaker 4: go to overtime, the Chiefs win the toss again but

54
00:02:34,320 --> 00:02:38,440
Speaker 4: get stopped. Bengals get the field goal. Bengals twenty seven,

55
00:02:38,639 --> 00:02:42,760
Speaker 4: twenty four. They finished at seven point underdogs. They were

56
00:02:42,760 --> 00:02:46,360
Speaker 4: plus two sixty down the money line. Bengals got it

57
00:02:46,400 --> 00:02:46,959
Speaker 4: done here.

58
00:02:47,840 --> 00:02:50,839
Speaker 1: Yeah, you know, I was skeptical about this game.

59
00:02:50,880 --> 00:02:54,240
Speaker 2: This was one of those games where, look, everything said

60
00:02:54,280 --> 00:02:56,840
Speaker 2: the Chiefs should blow this Bengals team out. But like

61
00:02:56,880 --> 00:02:59,720
Speaker 2: I said before on the last podcast, when you have

62
00:02:59,840 --> 00:03:03,240
Speaker 2: a team, you're playing a game, and a team blows

63
00:03:03,240 --> 00:03:06,880
Speaker 2: a fourteen point lead three different times, it's pretty clear

64
00:03:06,880 --> 00:03:09,560
Speaker 2: that that other team isn't intimidating and maybe they're not

65
00:03:09,600 --> 00:03:12,560
Speaker 2: as overmatched as we thought they were. And I know

66
00:03:12,600 --> 00:03:15,360
Speaker 2: I said on the last podcast, the Chiefs wouldn't score

67
00:03:15,480 --> 00:03:18,079
Speaker 2: just three points in the second half, and that's exactly

68
00:03:18,120 --> 00:03:18,720
Speaker 2: what they did.

69
00:03:18,800 --> 00:03:21,040
Speaker 1: So you got to give the Cincinnati Bengals some credit.

70
00:03:21,520 --> 00:03:24,360
Speaker 2: Patrick Mahomes, he just didn't play very well at all

71
00:03:24,480 --> 00:03:26,959
Speaker 2: in that second half. He missed a bunch of throws,

72
00:03:27,200 --> 00:03:29,200
Speaker 2: He almost threw a pick six and then on a

73
00:03:29,240 --> 00:03:33,000
Speaker 2: following play he threw an interception. Very disappointing season for

74
00:03:33,040 --> 00:03:35,800
Speaker 2: the Chiefs, a team this talent is supposed to win

75
00:03:35,840 --> 00:03:38,160
Speaker 2: the Super Bowl, but you got to give the Bengals credit.

76
00:03:38,200 --> 00:03:42,080
Speaker 2: I mean, Joe Burrow was absolutely incredible. Once again, you

77
00:03:42,160 --> 00:03:44,760
Speaker 2: can't count this guy out. Twenty three or thirty eight,

78
00:03:44,760 --> 00:03:48,920
Speaker 2: two and fifty yards, two touchdowns, and he's almost Brady

79
00:03:49,000 --> 00:03:51,240
Speaker 2: esque at this point. And you know he's catching some

80
00:03:51,320 --> 00:03:54,880
Speaker 2: lucky breaks. But look when you looked at at that game,

81
00:03:55,240 --> 00:03:59,200
Speaker 2: to play the game McCain, right before halftime, Tyreek Hill

82
00:03:59,320 --> 00:04:02,600
Speaker 2: doesn't get in and they get no points and left

83
00:04:02,600 --> 00:04:03,760
Speaker 2: the door open for the Bengals.

84
00:04:04,000 --> 00:04:06,440
Speaker 4: Yeah, I left the door open, and it seemed like

85
00:04:06,480 --> 00:04:09,800
Speaker 4: it kind of shook Patrick Mahomes and the offense. After that,

86
00:04:09,840 --> 00:04:14,080
Speaker 4: they just never really got anything going again. So yeah,

87
00:04:14,200 --> 00:04:18,000
Speaker 4: Tyreek Hill, you know, tried the little spin move. He

88
00:04:18,200 --> 00:04:20,840
Speaker 4: could have just maybe put the shoulder down or try

89
00:04:20,880 --> 00:04:23,480
Speaker 4: to get to the corner, fun back into him, get

90
00:04:23,560 --> 00:04:26,120
Speaker 4: stopped at the goal line. The Chiefs are at the

91
00:04:26,120 --> 00:04:28,600
Speaker 4: goal line, but the clock runs out and hit zeros

92
00:04:28,960 --> 00:04:31,320
Speaker 4: and it's like, ah, well, you know, I guess I

93
00:04:31,360 --> 00:04:33,320
Speaker 4: guess it'll be a game a little while longer, as

94
00:04:33,400 --> 00:04:35,479
Speaker 4: Chiefs are still up twenty one to ten and fully

95
00:04:35,480 --> 00:04:38,599
Speaker 4: in control at that point, and then they just never

96
00:04:38,600 --> 00:04:42,080
Speaker 4: really recovered from that. So, yeah, you said on the

97
00:04:42,120 --> 00:04:45,360
Speaker 4: podcast last time that the Chiefs would not score three

98
00:04:45,360 --> 00:04:47,960
Speaker 4: in the second half. Again, I wrote it in my notes.

99
00:04:48,080 --> 00:04:51,279
Speaker 4: I literally am reading Chiefs three or three on scoring drives,

100
00:04:51,320 --> 00:04:53,719
Speaker 4: go up to twenty one three in bold, just like

101
00:04:53,760 --> 00:04:56,159
Speaker 4: the first game. But that second half collapse ain't coming

102
00:04:56,240 --> 00:04:59,599
Speaker 4: this time. Oh boy, did that second half collapse come.

103
00:04:59,720 --> 00:05:01,760
Speaker 4: So well, let's rewind a little bit. So let's go

104
00:05:01,880 --> 00:05:05,120
Speaker 4: up to the twenty one three to that point, a

105
00:05:05,440 --> 00:05:07,839
Speaker 4: very similar game, the whole game to the week seventeen

106
00:05:07,880 --> 00:05:10,680
Speaker 4: game where the Chiefs go up early. And yet again

107
00:05:11,120 --> 00:05:14,400
Speaker 4: I have not learned my lesson. I'm writing the obituary.

108
00:05:14,520 --> 00:05:17,359
Speaker 4: The Bengals season is over. The Chiefs have scored in

109
00:05:17,400 --> 00:05:20,880
Speaker 4: all three drives, two touchdowns, one to Kelsey and one

110
00:05:20,920 --> 00:05:24,599
Speaker 4: to Tyreek Hill, where Patrick Mahomes just creates time.

111
00:05:24,960 --> 00:05:26,400
Speaker 3: You don't even need to see the end of the play.

112
00:05:26,480 --> 00:05:28,640
Speaker 4: If you give Mahomes that much time, if he creates

113
00:05:28,680 --> 00:05:32,080
Speaker 4: that much time, he's gonna find someone. They're gonna be open.

114
00:05:32,600 --> 00:05:35,480
Speaker 4: Tyreek got the touchdown. This is the first time in

115
00:05:35,600 --> 00:05:38,520
Speaker 4: twenty two games that Tyrek Hill scored a touchdown and

116
00:05:38,520 --> 00:05:41,960
Speaker 4: the Chiefs did not win the game. Kelsey got the touchdown.

117
00:05:42,480 --> 00:05:45,600
Speaker 4: The Bengals convert a few third downs but settle for

118
00:05:45,640 --> 00:05:49,120
Speaker 4: a field goal twenty one to three. Here's some numbers.

119
00:05:49,160 --> 00:05:52,240
Speaker 4: At that point, the Chiefs have run twenty six plays

120
00:05:52,279 --> 00:05:56,040
Speaker 4: for fourteen first downs. That's more than half of their plays.

121
00:05:56,080 --> 00:05:59,240
Speaker 4: Touchdowns count two hundred and twenty six yards eight point

122
00:05:59,320 --> 00:06:00,279
Speaker 4: seven yards of play.

123
00:06:00,680 --> 00:06:02,600
Speaker 3: At that point of the game, Pad Mahomes.

124
00:06:02,320 --> 00:06:05,680
Speaker 4: Is thirteen or fourteen three touchdowns one hundred and fifty

125
00:06:05,680 --> 00:06:10,240
Speaker 4: four yards. He is averaging one point oh two expected

126
00:06:10,279 --> 00:06:13,159
Speaker 4: points out of the per play over a full EPA

127
00:06:13,320 --> 00:06:16,599
Speaker 4: per play, three like almost pound time. At that point,

128
00:06:17,160 --> 00:06:19,599
Speaker 4: it's over, right, It's gotta be over At that point,

129
00:06:19,960 --> 00:06:20,520
Speaker 4: I'm gonna.

130
00:06:20,360 --> 00:06:21,080
Speaker 1: Be honest with you.

131
00:06:21,640 --> 00:06:24,039
Speaker 2: I never want to count Joe Burrow out just based

132
00:06:24,080 --> 00:06:27,080
Speaker 2: on what we saw in the postseason. So even twenty

133
00:06:27,120 --> 00:06:30,520
Speaker 2: one to three, I'm thinking, how can the Bengals get

134
00:06:30,520 --> 00:06:33,760
Speaker 2: this cover? And I saw it all year long the Chiefs.

135
00:06:34,000 --> 00:06:37,279
Speaker 2: You go back regular season, it blew an eleven point lead,

136
00:06:37,400 --> 00:06:40,320
Speaker 2: against the Baltimore Ravens. Really early in the year, the

137
00:06:40,440 --> 00:06:43,559
Speaker 2: almost whore to cover against the Philadelphia Eagles. This team

138
00:06:43,600 --> 00:06:47,120
Speaker 2: blew a fourteen point lead three different times. So to me,

139
00:06:47,360 --> 00:06:50,400
Speaker 2: when Joe Burrow scored that touchdown to make it twenty

140
00:06:50,440 --> 00:06:52,880
Speaker 2: one to ten, I'm thinking, you know what, there's a

141
00:06:52,960 --> 00:06:55,240
Speaker 2: chance that this is a game in second half. But

142
00:06:56,200 --> 00:06:59,080
Speaker 2: the drive before the halftime that that was the drive

143
00:06:59,120 --> 00:07:01,520
Speaker 2: of the game, and the Chiefs scored here and there's

144
00:07:01,560 --> 00:07:04,119
Speaker 2: just not enough time for the Bengals to come back.

145
00:07:04,400 --> 00:07:07,200
Speaker 2: And this game was basically on the Chiefs offense when

146
00:07:07,240 --> 00:07:10,600
Speaker 2: you look at the second half, punt on the first possession,

147
00:07:10,840 --> 00:07:14,080
Speaker 2: put on the second possession, interception on the last possession,

148
00:07:15,600 --> 00:07:18,600
Speaker 2: then another point, then another point, then a field goalk.

149
00:07:18,640 --> 00:07:22,480
Speaker 2: So the Chiefs offense they got to do more. And look,

150
00:07:22,520 --> 00:07:24,600
Speaker 2: if you can only score three points in the second

151
00:07:24,680 --> 00:07:27,880
Speaker 2: half of a game, you could lose to any NFL team.

152
00:07:28,040 --> 00:07:30,840
Speaker 1: So you've got to give credit to this Bangals defense.

153
00:07:31,560 --> 00:07:34,120
Speaker 4: Yeah, that played just before halftime when the Bengals finally

154
00:07:34,120 --> 00:07:37,400
Speaker 4: got on the board. It's a busted screen basically just

155
00:07:37,440 --> 00:07:40,520
Speaker 4: a dump off to samajp Ryan takes it to the house.

156
00:07:41,000 --> 00:07:43,160
Speaker 3: I'm celebrating. I picked Chiefs in this game.

157
00:07:43,200 --> 00:07:45,040
Speaker 4: I switched the Chiefs late in the week, but I

158
00:07:45,040 --> 00:07:47,360
Speaker 4: had the second quarter over that hit my over. So

159
00:07:47,400 --> 00:07:50,160
Speaker 4: I'm feeling good. It's close to the year over where

160
00:07:50,200 --> 00:07:52,760
Speaker 4: we're going towards some points here. The Chiefs have this

161
00:07:52,880 --> 00:07:56,680
Speaker 4: in control. It's no problem. Third quarter kind of boring,

162
00:07:56,760 --> 00:07:58,880
Speaker 4: to be honest. The Chiefs are stalling a little bit,

163
00:07:59,360 --> 00:08:01,520
Speaker 4: starting to play with their food like they do, just

164
00:08:01,600 --> 00:08:04,800
Speaker 4: kind of just letting the Bengals hang around, and the

165
00:08:04,800 --> 00:08:07,920
Speaker 4: Bengals get inside the ten sattle for another field goal

166
00:08:08,000 --> 00:08:11,000
Speaker 4: like Zach Taylor loves to do. So still twenty one thirteen,

167
00:08:11,120 --> 00:08:13,960
Speaker 4: Still feeling pretty good. And then right near the end

168
00:08:13,960 --> 00:08:16,560
Speaker 4: of the courter that's the big play. We talked about

169
00:08:16,560 --> 00:08:20,320
Speaker 4: the player before the half, but Mahomes drops back. You

170
00:08:20,320 --> 00:08:23,320
Speaker 4: can tell at this point he's just he's rushing the process.

171
00:08:23,440 --> 00:08:25,800
Speaker 4: We saw that earlier in the season. He got those

172
00:08:25,840 --> 00:08:28,880
Speaker 4: early red zone turnovers, and then for the middle chunk

173
00:08:28,920 --> 00:08:30,440
Speaker 4: of the season, he didn't look comfortable.

174
00:08:30,920 --> 00:08:32,840
Speaker 3: Boy did he look comfortable the last couple of weeks.

175
00:08:32,880 --> 00:08:35,160
Speaker 4: He was doing anything you wanted, anything you wanted the

176
00:08:35,160 --> 00:08:38,080
Speaker 4: first half of this game. But it's like something jarred

177
00:08:38,200 --> 00:08:41,880
Speaker 4: in his mind and he was uncomfortable rushing decisions, rushing

178
00:08:41,920 --> 00:08:44,760
Speaker 4: passes a little bit. They run an RPO. They got

179
00:08:44,760 --> 00:08:47,280
Speaker 4: a blitzer in his face and he rushes the pass

180
00:08:47,559 --> 00:08:51,640
Speaker 4: Hill tips it, grabs interception on the Chiefs twenty seven.

181
00:08:52,080 --> 00:08:56,160
Speaker 4: Mahomes only a second postseason interception ever. Twenty seven touchdowns,

182
00:08:56,160 --> 00:09:00,600
Speaker 4: two interceptions. That's an MVP season for most player. That's

183
00:09:00,640 --> 00:09:04,560
Speaker 4: just the playoffs for Mahomes. And the Rams get the

184
00:09:04,600 --> 00:09:07,640
Speaker 4: third down, get it to Jamar Chase one on one

185
00:09:07,679 --> 00:09:10,160
Speaker 4: in coverage. I don't know how you leave Jamar Chase

186
00:09:10,160 --> 00:09:12,000
Speaker 4: one on one? Did we not watch the film from

187
00:09:12,000 --> 00:09:15,320
Speaker 4: week seventeen? Chase goes up and gets it. They convert

188
00:09:15,360 --> 00:09:17,120
Speaker 4: the two. Suddenly we're tired.

189
00:09:17,679 --> 00:09:19,080
Speaker 2: What do you think a at that point do you

190
00:09:19,120 --> 00:09:20,679
Speaker 2: think are the Chiefs are just going to come back

191
00:09:20,679 --> 00:09:23,360
Speaker 2: down to score? And this because I was worried for

192
00:09:23,400 --> 00:09:24,120
Speaker 2: them at that point.

193
00:09:24,320 --> 00:09:25,319
Speaker 3: Oh, I've bet the Chiefs.

194
00:09:25,320 --> 00:09:28,079
Speaker 4: At that point the line was Chiefs minus two and

195
00:09:28,120 --> 00:09:30,960
Speaker 4: a half and I don't regret it.

196
00:09:31,240 --> 00:09:34,400
Speaker 3: You gave me Patrick Mahomes and a tie game. All

197
00:09:34,440 --> 00:09:35,240
Speaker 3: you do is win.

198
00:09:35,360 --> 00:09:37,880
Speaker 4: Basically, the Chiefs aren't winning by one or two. Twenty

199
00:09:37,920 --> 00:09:39,920
Speaker 4: one twenty one, like you just got to win. That's

200
00:09:39,960 --> 00:09:43,040
Speaker 4: a money line. I took it, and I'm happy about it.

201
00:09:43,320 --> 00:09:46,360
Speaker 4: I have Patrick Mahomes with fifteen minutes left against the

202
00:09:46,679 --> 00:09:49,760
Speaker 4: team that he's been scoring on. I hadn't really seen

203
00:09:50,240 --> 00:09:52,640
Speaker 4: anything in the third quarter that made me think, oh man,

204
00:09:53,040 --> 00:09:55,400
Speaker 4: the Bengals have made this big adjustment and shut this

205
00:09:55,480 --> 00:09:59,400
Speaker 4: offense down. Even looking back watching Week seventeen game, I can't.

206
00:09:59,200 --> 00:10:01,679
Speaker 3: Watch for that. Okay, what was the big adjustment?

207
00:10:02,200 --> 00:10:05,439
Speaker 4: And I do think the Bengals kind of switched to

208
00:10:05,600 --> 00:10:08,160
Speaker 4: just dropping guys and playing a three man front, a

209
00:10:08,240 --> 00:10:12,680
Speaker 4: four man front, just dropping everyone in coverage. And you know,

210
00:10:12,720 --> 00:10:14,760
Speaker 4: the thing the Chiefs learned this season was that kind

211
00:10:14,760 --> 00:10:18,439
Speaker 4: of dink and dunk drive, run the ball, throw the understuff,

212
00:10:19,000 --> 00:10:22,160
Speaker 4: and they did that great last week, and they just

213
00:10:22,360 --> 00:10:24,480
Speaker 4: couldn't get to it. They couldn't get comfortable there in

214
00:10:24,480 --> 00:10:28,000
Speaker 4: the fourth quarter. But I wasn't panicked. I mean, you

215
00:10:28,040 --> 00:10:29,480
Speaker 4: don't want to be in a tie game with a

216
00:10:29,559 --> 00:10:31,920
Speaker 4: quarter left. You'd rather be up twenty one to three.

217
00:10:32,280 --> 00:10:36,560
Speaker 4: But I still felt comfortable with the Chiefs. I felt honestly,

218
00:10:36,600 --> 00:10:38,480
Speaker 4: I had the Chiefs minus seven, I still felt pretty

219
00:10:38,480 --> 00:10:40,520
Speaker 4: good about it. I thought the Chiefs would get another touchdown.

220
00:10:41,040 --> 00:10:43,320
Speaker 4: I certainly didn't think that they'd you know, be held

221
00:10:43,360 --> 00:10:46,800
Speaker 4: only three in the second half again, So yeah, that

222
00:10:47,240 --> 00:10:49,920
Speaker 4: we get after that, that the Bengals have the ball,

223
00:10:50,320 --> 00:10:53,000
Speaker 4: and then Joe Burrow finally, for once the entire game,

224
00:10:53,040 --> 00:10:54,800
Speaker 4: the Bengals don't run it in the middle of the

225
00:10:54,840 --> 00:10:57,960
Speaker 4: line on first down. These coaches, they are just killing

226
00:10:58,000 --> 00:11:00,800
Speaker 4: me with their play calls. We said all year along,

227
00:11:00,840 --> 00:11:03,080
Speaker 4: I'm gonna keep saying it because the Bengals are still playing.

228
00:11:03,559 --> 00:11:06,280
Speaker 4: They just keep running on early downs into the middle,

229
00:11:06,600 --> 00:11:10,360
Speaker 4: getting negative BP of plays. They finally passed on first down,

230
00:11:10,960 --> 00:11:14,160
Speaker 4: and I guess they showed me because Joe Burrow throws

231
00:11:14,200 --> 00:11:18,560
Speaker 4: it right to the Chiefs and suddenly I'm feeling great again.

232
00:11:18,640 --> 00:11:20,760
Speaker 4: I got the Chiefs past two and a half, they're

233
00:11:20,760 --> 00:11:23,960
Speaker 4: out the fifty. Basically, here we go, my home's time,

234
00:11:24,040 --> 00:11:25,760
Speaker 4: go get the score and take the lead again.

235
00:11:26,400 --> 00:11:27,640
Speaker 2: You know, for me, I got to push back on

236
00:11:27,679 --> 00:11:30,280
Speaker 2: that a little bit, just because, look, we saw the

237
00:11:30,280 --> 00:11:32,439
Speaker 2: Bengals win a playoff game in which they was sacked

238
00:11:32,520 --> 00:11:35,679
Speaker 2: nine times. We know the weakness of this Bengals team

239
00:11:36,120 --> 00:11:42,040
Speaker 2: is the offensive line. They can't consistently protect and sometimes

240
00:11:42,040 --> 00:11:43,640
Speaker 2: you got to run the ball. I know they only

241
00:11:43,640 --> 00:11:47,360
Speaker 2: had a thirty eight percent success rate, but you got

242
00:11:47,360 --> 00:11:49,120
Speaker 2: to run the ball just to protect Burrow.

243
00:11:49,360 --> 00:11:51,240
Speaker 1: And look, they were fortunate in this game.

244
00:11:51,240 --> 00:11:55,000
Speaker 2: They were only sacked once for seven yards, so the

245
00:11:55,080 --> 00:11:58,199
Speaker 2: Chiefs pass rush really didn't get there a ton. So

246
00:11:58,600 --> 00:12:01,800
Speaker 2: I know Melvin Ingram made some plays, but I can't

247
00:12:01,800 --> 00:12:03,560
Speaker 2: fault them for necessarily run the ball like that.

248
00:12:03,679 --> 00:12:05,160
Speaker 1: To me, this game.

249
00:12:05,040 --> 00:12:08,000
Speaker 2: Was on the Chiefs offense, Like I just don't I

250
00:12:08,080 --> 00:12:11,640
Speaker 2: still don't understand how this team could just be rolling

251
00:12:11,880 --> 00:12:15,640
Speaker 2: for two quarters and then look completely lost. Mahomes pretty

252
00:12:15,679 --> 00:12:18,040
Speaker 2: much looked like mcnad out there, and it was like

253
00:12:18,120 --> 00:12:21,880
Speaker 2: very reminiscent of Andy Rees's time with the Eagles when

254
00:12:21,880 --> 00:12:25,280
Speaker 2: he got to the conference championship. And you know, despite

255
00:12:25,320 --> 00:12:27,960
Speaker 2: all that, I know most people are watching this game

256
00:12:28,000 --> 00:12:30,880
Speaker 2: and thinking, down three, the Chiefs are going to score,

257
00:12:31,320 --> 00:12:35,320
Speaker 2: and down three with the ball, Mahomes fumbles it and

258
00:12:35,320 --> 00:12:36,640
Speaker 2: they almost lose in regulation.

259
00:12:37,559 --> 00:12:40,360
Speaker 4: Both quarterbacks really tried to give us one away at

260
00:12:40,400 --> 00:12:43,640
Speaker 4: the end. Burrow had the interception and then nearly had

261
00:12:43,640 --> 00:12:45,120
Speaker 4: another interception just trying to.

262
00:12:45,040 --> 00:12:47,920
Speaker 3: Throw the ball away and got really lucky.

263
00:12:47,679 --> 00:12:50,520
Speaker 4: To conoculate with that one you didn't mentioned too right

264
00:12:50,559 --> 00:12:53,640
Speaker 4: after that Burrow interception earlier, the Chiefs just go three

265
00:12:53,679 --> 00:12:56,640
Speaker 4: and out. They get the ball basically one first down

266
00:12:56,720 --> 00:12:59,160
Speaker 4: from being at least in the field goal range, and

267
00:12:59,200 --> 00:13:02,319
Speaker 4: they go three and out. Mahomes takes another sack, second

268
00:13:02,320 --> 00:13:04,800
Speaker 4: straight third down sack that he took. It felt like

269
00:13:05,040 --> 00:13:08,440
Speaker 4: Patrick Mahomes became Carson Wentz at the end of the game.

270
00:13:08,880 --> 00:13:11,880
Speaker 4: And I'm not saying that the same player, but what

271
00:13:11,960 --> 00:13:14,000
Speaker 4: we saw with Wentz, we you see with a quarterback

272
00:13:14,040 --> 00:13:17,160
Speaker 4: who's good but not great in that moment, is you

273
00:13:17,280 --> 00:13:19,520
Speaker 4: hold the ball and you try to be the hero.

274
00:13:20,120 --> 00:13:22,320
Speaker 4: And it fell like Mahomes tried to be the hero.

275
00:13:22,440 --> 00:13:24,480
Speaker 4: He was the hero last week. He will be the

276
00:13:24,480 --> 00:13:28,680
Speaker 4: hero many many more times. Again He's Patrick Mahomes. This

277
00:13:28,760 --> 00:13:30,640
Speaker 4: might go down as one of the worst defeats on

278
00:13:31,240 --> 00:13:33,800
Speaker 4: certainly a Hall of Fame career when it's all said

279
00:13:33,840 --> 00:13:34,360
Speaker 4: and done.

280
00:13:34,760 --> 00:13:36,720
Speaker 3: But he tried to do too much.

281
00:13:37,040 --> 00:13:41,400
Speaker 4: He tried to force things, He tried to know on

282
00:13:41,440 --> 00:13:45,160
Speaker 4: the long interception, tried to force the retire week in overtime.

283
00:13:45,520 --> 00:13:47,439
Speaker 4: It just felt like he tried to do a little

284
00:13:47,440 --> 00:13:50,520
Speaker 4: too much in this game. Burrow was getting to that

285
00:13:50,559 --> 00:13:52,240
Speaker 4: moment too, I felt like Burrow was trying to do

286
00:13:52,320 --> 00:13:56,720
Speaker 4: a little bit much. It's like we wanted the Mahomes

287
00:13:56,800 --> 00:13:59,280
Speaker 4: Josh Allen shootout again. We wanted these back and the

288
00:13:59,320 --> 00:14:02,840
Speaker 4: forth score and both quarterbacks wanted a moment and it

289
00:14:02,920 --> 00:14:07,400
Speaker 4: wasn't happening. The Bengals barely getting a field goal. Arrange

290
00:14:07,440 --> 00:14:09,320
Speaker 4: get really conservative, get the field goal.

291
00:14:09,840 --> 00:14:12,199
Speaker 3: So now they're up. The Chiefs drive.

292
00:14:12,120 --> 00:14:14,400
Speaker 4: Next, not terrible, kind of the dink and dunk thing

293
00:14:14,440 --> 00:14:17,160
Speaker 4: that we wanted. We got three catches to Travis Kelcey.

294
00:14:18,120 --> 00:14:20,920
Speaker 4: I'm picked at the Bengals are not calling their timeouts,

295
00:14:21,000 --> 00:14:24,600
Speaker 4: they're not blitzing, they're not being aggressive. It's the point

296
00:14:24,640 --> 00:14:28,840
Speaker 4: now where it's like, okay, blitz and like I almost

297
00:14:28,880 --> 00:14:31,680
Speaker 4: thought that the Chiefs were just gonna, you know, score

298
00:14:31,800 --> 00:14:33,400
Speaker 4: touchdown and basically that was the end of the game.

299
00:14:33,440 --> 00:14:35,880
Speaker 4: They're just gonna run the clock down. And it felt

300
00:14:35,920 --> 00:14:38,120
Speaker 4: like the Bengals need to be more aggressive, either try

301
00:14:38,120 --> 00:14:41,200
Speaker 4: to stop them or give up the touchdown and give

302
00:14:41,240 --> 00:14:44,320
Speaker 4: your guy a chance. It felt almost like Burrow is

303
00:14:44,360 --> 00:14:47,240
Speaker 4: gonna not even get back on the field again. And

304
00:14:48,240 --> 00:14:51,200
Speaker 4: you know, the Chiefs for a second straight week, don't

305
00:14:51,240 --> 00:14:53,280
Speaker 4: get the touchdown that they need to. They settle for

306
00:14:53,320 --> 00:14:55,640
Speaker 4: the field goal and they just couldn't quite punch it in.

307
00:14:56,320 --> 00:14:58,280
Speaker 4: Like you said, the offenses did not come through.

308
00:14:58,920 --> 00:15:01,160
Speaker 2: Yeah, it was really And then even when you get

309
00:15:01,160 --> 00:15:04,520
Speaker 2: to overtime, Mahomes first two passes, you're like, what in

310
00:15:04,560 --> 00:15:06,520
Speaker 2: the world is this, Like he actually almost threw a

311
00:15:06,560 --> 00:15:11,640
Speaker 2: pick six and to start an overtime and you're thinking, wow,

312
00:15:11,920 --> 00:15:15,080
Speaker 2: like this chief offense really might not do it, and

313
00:15:15,400 --> 00:15:18,440
Speaker 2: you know he forces the pass and it was it

314
00:15:18,480 --> 00:15:21,360
Speaker 2: was a tremendous play because to me, I thought Tyreek

315
00:15:21,480 --> 00:15:23,680
Speaker 2: Hill was going to catch that and ends up getting

316
00:15:23,720 --> 00:15:26,720
Speaker 2: too and you got the interception, and you knew when

317
00:15:26,760 --> 00:15:29,200
Speaker 2: Joe Burrow gets the ball in that situation, you only

318
00:15:29,240 --> 00:15:32,280
Speaker 2: got to go twenty twenty five yards. There's no there's

319
00:15:32,280 --> 00:15:34,160
Speaker 2: no way the chief defense is going to stop him.

320
00:15:34,160 --> 00:15:36,280
Speaker 4: So yeah, now they get the ball in the forty

321
00:15:36,320 --> 00:15:38,680
Speaker 4: five there. I don't mind the pass of Tyreek Hill.

322
00:15:39,400 --> 00:15:41,840
Speaker 4: You know, it's you're punting. It's an arm punt and

323
00:15:41,880 --> 00:15:45,560
Speaker 4: you're giving your guy a shot and you know you're

324
00:15:45,560 --> 00:15:48,360
Speaker 4: you're deep in your own territory. I tweeted this coming

325
00:15:48,400 --> 00:15:50,720
Speaker 4: in and I thought this last week and again today

326
00:15:51,240 --> 00:15:53,880
Speaker 4: it felt like the Chiefs got to score there. I

327
00:15:53,960 --> 00:15:55,880
Speaker 4: did not trust their defense to get back on the

328
00:15:55,880 --> 00:15:58,640
Speaker 4: field and get a stop. Not that the Bengals were

329
00:15:58,960 --> 00:16:01,960
Speaker 4: unstoppable the way Bills had been last week, but it

330
00:16:02,120 --> 00:16:04,560
Speaker 4: just felt like, you know, the Chiefs, this happened in

331
00:16:04,560 --> 00:16:06,760
Speaker 4: the last game too. They just run the field a

332
00:16:06,760 --> 00:16:08,640
Speaker 4: lot of the second half and they just you know,

333
00:16:08,640 --> 00:16:12,120
Speaker 4: you're gonna get tired out. And you know, I noticed

334
00:16:12,120 --> 00:16:14,760
Speaker 4: over the last maybe twenty minutes or so, it felt

335
00:16:14,760 --> 00:16:16,920
Speaker 4: like the Bengals finally figured out how to get some

336
00:16:17,000 --> 00:16:19,400
Speaker 4: of their receivers one on one coverage and they're giving

337
00:16:19,400 --> 00:16:23,160
Speaker 4: them shots, and you just knew you can't give Burrow

338
00:16:23,400 --> 00:16:27,040
Speaker 4: and company a chance, and they did, and you know,

339
00:16:27,160 --> 00:16:27,680
Speaker 4: they took.

340
00:16:27,480 --> 00:16:28,160
Speaker 3: Care of business.

341
00:16:28,600 --> 00:16:32,800
Speaker 4: It to me too, the Chiefs defense, for me, on

342
00:16:32,840 --> 00:16:35,600
Speaker 4: that last drive in overtime, that was we are who

343
00:16:35,600 --> 00:16:36,800
Speaker 4: they thought they were a moment.

344
00:16:37,240 --> 00:16:41,040
Speaker 3: The Chiefs defense, they just they weren't there.

345
00:16:41,080 --> 00:16:44,480
Speaker 4: They didn't show up that The Bengals did their usual

346
00:16:44,600 --> 00:16:47,320
Speaker 4: run up the middle, run up the middle, conservative we're

347
00:16:47,320 --> 00:16:50,160
Speaker 4: in field goal arrange it. We're like fifty five yards out,

348
00:16:50,240 --> 00:16:52,480
Speaker 4: so let's just run in the middle and kick it.

349
00:16:53,000 --> 00:16:55,600
Speaker 4: And they're still ripping off six seven eight yard carries

350
00:16:56,280 --> 00:16:59,000
Speaker 4: and basically turned it from yeah, it's going to be

351
00:16:59,080 --> 00:17:01,400
Speaker 4: a field goal for the win, but a difficult one

352
00:17:01,520 --> 00:17:02,000
Speaker 4: even with.

353
00:17:02,000 --> 00:17:05,240
Speaker 3: The rookie kicker. The rookie kicker to go to the Super.

354
00:17:05,000 --> 00:17:07,280
Speaker 4: Bowl, I don't care how nils he's been, you still

355
00:17:07,280 --> 00:17:10,080
Speaker 4: got to make a tough kick do. Suddenly they picked

356
00:17:10,160 --> 00:17:12,440
Speaker 4: up like twenty more yards and made a chip shot

357
00:17:12,480 --> 00:17:16,040
Speaker 4: at the end, and you know NFL kickers make that

358
00:17:16,040 --> 00:17:19,720
Speaker 4: close one, so it just I'm not going to say

359
00:17:19,720 --> 00:17:22,440
Speaker 4: they gave up, but just you could just see like

360
00:17:22,880 --> 00:17:25,879
Speaker 4: the piles are moving forward, you're falling forward, you're getting

361
00:17:25,880 --> 00:17:28,600
Speaker 4: those extra yards, and it just kind of felt like

362
00:17:28,920 --> 00:17:30,800
Speaker 4: they knew that the battle was lost at that point.

363
00:17:30,840 --> 00:17:32,479
Speaker 1: To me, oh yeah, without a eye.

364
00:17:32,520 --> 00:17:34,560
Speaker 2: That's why some of those first down And I know

365
00:17:35,080 --> 00:17:38,560
Speaker 2: we're trained to look at things analytically, but some of

366
00:17:38,600 --> 00:17:42,720
Speaker 2: those early carries are why Mixon was able to dominate

367
00:17:42,760 --> 00:17:43,480
Speaker 2: in overtime.

368
00:17:43,560 --> 00:17:45,560
Speaker 1: And it's like, I think that those things are important,

369
00:17:45,640 --> 00:17:47,040
Speaker 1: so I think we can't lose.

370
00:17:47,840 --> 00:17:49,560
Speaker 3: Yeah. I felt like both these games.

371
00:17:49,600 --> 00:17:51,320
Speaker 4: We'll talk about this in the late game too, but

372
00:17:51,359 --> 00:17:54,080
Speaker 4: I thought both these games swung on late down plays.

373
00:17:54,280 --> 00:17:56,159
Speaker 3: If you look at third and fourth down plays in

374
00:17:56,200 --> 00:17:56,680
Speaker 3: this game.

375
00:17:57,040 --> 00:17:59,840
Speaker 4: Patrick Mahomes on eleven to third or fourth down plays

376
00:18:00,320 --> 00:18:03,280
Speaker 4: negative zero point three EPA per play, and that includes

377
00:18:03,320 --> 00:18:05,000
Speaker 4: the twenty one points to the start of the game

378
00:18:05,080 --> 00:18:08,080
Speaker 4: that he had a few nice conversions. The Bengals on

379
00:18:08,160 --> 00:18:11,959
Speaker 4: fourteen late down plays positive zero point three two epa

380
00:18:12,040 --> 00:18:14,520
Speaker 4: per play. They were eight of fourteen on third down.

381
00:18:15,040 --> 00:18:17,400
Speaker 4: Joe Burrow I did not know he had this in him.

382
00:18:17,840 --> 00:18:21,760
Speaker 4: Joe Burrow's legs were big. The Chiefs gave up scramble

383
00:18:21,880 --> 00:18:25,800
Speaker 4: runs to Allen last week to Burrow today. Burrow made

384
00:18:25,800 --> 00:18:28,800
Speaker 4: some big plays with his legs, converted some third downs,

385
00:18:28,880 --> 00:18:32,200
Speaker 4: kept things alive we talked about earlier. The first three

386
00:18:32,280 --> 00:18:35,400
Speaker 4: drives Chiefs had twenty six plays two hundred and twenty

387
00:18:35,400 --> 00:18:38,080
Speaker 4: six yards eight point seven yards of play. From that

388
00:18:38,240 --> 00:18:41,600
Speaker 4: moment forward, forty one plays for one hundred and forty

389
00:18:41,680 --> 00:18:46,240
Speaker 4: nine yards three point six yards per play. Patrick Mahomes

390
00:18:46,520 --> 00:18:49,640
Speaker 4: one point zero two EPA per play the first three drives,

391
00:18:49,960 --> 00:18:53,240
Speaker 4: the rest of the game thirteen for twenty five the

392
00:18:53,359 --> 00:18:58,600
Speaker 4: barely over fifty percent completion, two interceptions, four sacks, negative

393
00:18:58,760 --> 00:19:02,560
Speaker 4: zero point six epa per play. So he went from

394
00:19:02,680 --> 00:19:08,639
Speaker 4: absolute god mode, unstoppable for three drives to just like trash.

395
00:19:08,720 --> 00:19:11,120
Speaker 3: Basically that's by EPA per play.

396
00:19:11,160 --> 00:19:13,800
Speaker 4: Again, I'm not slandering Patrick Mahomes. You can have a

397
00:19:13,800 --> 00:19:18,080
Speaker 4: bad game, but he had a bad two quarters whenn't

398
00:19:18,080 --> 00:19:20,440
Speaker 4: mattered most two quarters in a play, Chris, We'll count

399
00:19:20,440 --> 00:19:24,960
Speaker 4: that one right before halftime and the overtime and it

400
00:19:25,119 --> 00:19:28,680
Speaker 4: just didn't happen. Joe Burrow becomes the first average number

401
00:19:28,720 --> 00:19:31,040
Speaker 4: one pick quarterback to go to the Super Bowl in

402
00:19:31,080 --> 00:19:34,960
Speaker 4: his second year. Patrick Mahomes had been thirty seven and

403
00:19:35,200 --> 00:19:38,359
Speaker 4: zero up fifteen or more and he is now thirty

404
00:19:38,359 --> 00:19:41,720
Speaker 4: seven and one and the Bengals are going to the

405
00:19:41,760 --> 00:19:43,480
Speaker 4: super Bowl. I did not see this coming.

406
00:19:44,280 --> 00:19:46,400
Speaker 2: I just kind of had a feeling this was gonna

407
00:19:46,400 --> 00:19:47,840
Speaker 2: be one of those games that was going to be

408
00:19:47,920 --> 00:19:50,439
Speaker 2: closer than what people thought. I'm just kind of shocked

409
00:19:50,440 --> 00:19:52,800
Speaker 2: that this wasn't a shootout. Like if you told me

410
00:19:52,840 --> 00:19:55,760
Speaker 2: what were the pass for Bengals victory, some of them

411
00:19:55,800 --> 00:19:59,920
Speaker 2: emerge here. I thought it would be to Patrick Mahomes interception,

412
00:20:01,640 --> 00:20:02,560
Speaker 2: but I just thought.

413
00:20:02,440 --> 00:20:04,520
Speaker 1: We'd see a higher scoring game. I just did not

414
00:20:04,760 --> 00:20:08,000
Speaker 1: think that we just see three points from the Chiefs

415
00:20:08,040 --> 00:20:09,800
Speaker 1: in the second half. I did not think that at all.

416
00:20:09,960 --> 00:20:13,040
Speaker 2: And the Bengals on their second drive, when they're driving

417
00:20:13,040 --> 00:20:15,320
Speaker 2: for a field goal and it looks like they're about

418
00:20:15,320 --> 00:20:18,560
Speaker 2: to score a touchdown, Higgins has the ball in the

419
00:20:18,640 --> 00:20:21,000
Speaker 2: end zone and it looks like Fitton holds them as

420
00:20:21,040 --> 00:20:23,760
Speaker 2: a passing affairs, they don't call it. At that point,

421
00:20:23,840 --> 00:20:25,720
Speaker 2: I was a little nervous with Bangals because you got

422
00:20:25,720 --> 00:20:26,840
Speaker 2: to get you got to get three.

423
00:20:27,280 --> 00:20:30,040
Speaker 1: Chiefs are already up seven. You're gonna put the pressure on them.

424
00:20:30,080 --> 00:20:33,120
Speaker 2: You're gonna have the Bengals in negative game script, and

425
00:20:33,240 --> 00:20:35,200
Speaker 2: for whatever reason, the Chiefs offense couldn't.

426
00:20:34,960 --> 00:20:35,520
Speaker 1: Keep it going.

427
00:20:35,800 --> 00:20:37,720
Speaker 2: But I did think this was gonna be a closer game,

428
00:20:37,760 --> 00:20:41,359
Speaker 2: and I was really really concerned for the Chiefs just

429
00:20:42,080 --> 00:20:45,119
Speaker 2: because I think that Week seventeen game scard Like anytime

430
00:20:45,160 --> 00:20:48,480
Speaker 2: you can blow it a fourteen point lead three different times,

431
00:20:49,720 --> 00:20:52,600
Speaker 2: it says something about your ability to close games well.

432
00:20:52,600 --> 00:20:54,439
Speaker 4: And it says something too that we certainly have to

433
00:20:54,440 --> 00:20:57,040
Speaker 4: give credit to the Bengals at this point that they

434
00:20:57,040 --> 00:20:59,960
Speaker 4: are a team that does not believe in negative games.

435
00:21:00,840 --> 00:21:04,600
Speaker 4: I mean, they were like forfeiting first down all game long,

436
00:21:04,800 --> 00:21:06,480
Speaker 4: just to be like, here you go, we'll take second

437
00:21:06,520 --> 00:21:06,840
Speaker 4: and ten.

438
00:21:07,160 --> 00:21:08,960
Speaker 3: We'll take the negative script on third down.

439
00:21:09,040 --> 00:21:11,400
Speaker 4: Doesn't matter. Our guy Jell is gonna do it anyway.

440
00:21:11,600 --> 00:21:13,960
Speaker 4: We'll go down twenty one to three, doesn't matter. We'll

441
00:21:14,000 --> 00:21:16,840
Speaker 4: go down fourteen three times against the Chiefs last game,

442
00:21:17,000 --> 00:21:21,040
Speaker 4: doesn't matter. This team, you know, there's just there's something

443
00:21:21,080 --> 00:21:23,760
Speaker 4: that's not in all the numbers that when you have

444
00:21:24,040 --> 00:21:26,399
Speaker 4: your guy and you believe, and you believe in your

445
00:21:26,480 --> 00:21:29,399
Speaker 4: guy and you believe in your team, there's something that

446
00:21:29,440 --> 00:21:32,879
Speaker 4: doesn't translate to all the analytics that just keeps you

447
00:21:32,960 --> 00:21:36,639
Speaker 4: pushing a little bit. And that doesn't necessarily mean that

448
00:21:36,680 --> 00:21:39,280
Speaker 4: it overcomes all the numbers. The numbers still matter, but

449
00:21:39,600 --> 00:21:42,600
Speaker 4: the Bengals just are not gonna roll over. They're a

450
00:21:42,640 --> 00:21:45,160
Speaker 4: team that no matter how many times are getting sacked

451
00:21:45,240 --> 00:21:47,880
Speaker 4: every drop back, no matter how many points they're down,

452
00:21:48,119 --> 00:21:50,840
Speaker 4: no matter what the numbers say, they're gonna fight. They

453
00:21:50,920 --> 00:21:53,720
Speaker 4: might still be the inferior team. I thought it was

454
00:21:53,760 --> 00:21:56,119
Speaker 4: pretty clear who the better team was in this game.

455
00:21:56,359 --> 00:21:59,000
Speaker 4: The better team didn't win, the better team went home

456
00:21:59,080 --> 00:22:02,800
Speaker 4: today doesn't matter. That doesn't matter who the better team is.

457
00:22:03,080 --> 00:22:06,320
Speaker 4: It matters what the scoreboard says, and the Bengals I

458
00:22:06,359 --> 00:22:08,560
Speaker 4: think this is now twelve to one score games on

459
00:22:08,600 --> 00:22:11,160
Speaker 4: the season, and they're coming up on the right side

460
00:22:11,160 --> 00:22:14,520
Speaker 4: of the one scores, and you know it is a

461
00:22:14,560 --> 00:22:16,960
Speaker 4: win or go home game, and the Chiefs are home

462
00:22:17,000 --> 00:22:18,600
Speaker 4: and the Bengals are headed to LA.

463
00:22:18,560 --> 00:22:19,320

00:24:00,400 --> 00:24:00,919
Speaker 5: get back to the.

497
00:24:00,920 --> 00:24:02,440
Speaker 3: Show, all right.

498
00:24:02,560 --> 00:24:06,800
Speaker 4: So, speaking of LA, in the Los Angeles, the Rams

499
00:24:06,840 --> 00:24:09,840
Speaker 4: hosted the forty nine Ers. This one opened at three

500
00:24:09,840 --> 00:24:12,040
Speaker 4: and a half to the Rams and basically just sat

501
00:24:12,080 --> 00:24:15,120
Speaker 4: there the entire week long, even as the injury news

502
00:24:15,119 --> 00:24:17,720
Speaker 4: came in and everything else, they just sat there. The

503
00:24:17,760 --> 00:24:20,040
Speaker 4: forty nine Ers end up covering the three and a

504
00:24:20,119 --> 00:24:24,399
Speaker 4: half by half point. They're up by ten in the

505
00:24:24,440 --> 00:24:27,000
Speaker 4: fourth quarter, but the Rams come all the way back

506
00:24:27,080 --> 00:24:29,000
Speaker 4: get the twenty to seventeen victory.

507
00:24:29,520 --> 00:24:31,200
Speaker 3: Our second under of the day.

508
00:24:31,400 --> 00:24:34,399
Speaker 4: Not a lot of scoring on Championships Sunday, but the

509
00:24:34,520 --> 00:24:39,159
Speaker 4: Rams really dominated early, should have been up more.

510
00:24:39,040 --> 00:24:39,680
Speaker 3: Than they did.

511
00:24:40,200 --> 00:24:42,480
Speaker 4: Then let the forty nine Ers suddenly come up and

512
00:24:43,640 --> 00:24:45,480
Speaker 4: take a big lead seventeen to seven.

513
00:24:45,520 --> 00:24:47,120
Speaker 3: But it felt big. It felt like.

514
00:24:47,320 --> 00:24:49,840
Speaker 4: The Rams are really up against it, and the Rams

515
00:24:49,840 --> 00:24:53,600
Speaker 4: just made the plays they needed to and drove the

516
00:24:53,720 --> 00:24:56,240
Speaker 4: dagger into the heart of our forty nine ers picks

517
00:24:56,280 --> 00:24:57,920
Speaker 4: and our forty nine ers futures.

518
00:24:58,160 --> 00:25:00,400
Speaker 2: Yeah, and this is a really interesting game. I think

519
00:25:00,520 --> 00:25:04,200
Speaker 2: earlier on you saw both quarterbacks missing wide open throws.

520
00:25:04,240 --> 00:25:06,239
Speaker 2: I mean, the Rams got the ball first, the fort

521
00:25:06,320 --> 00:25:09,560
Speaker 2: Niners defer. It looks like Odell Beckham is wide open

522
00:25:09,600 --> 00:25:13,280
Speaker 2: on third or four. Matthew Stafford misses him, and you're thinking,

523
00:25:13,359 --> 00:25:15,920
Speaker 2: right away Stafford is going to have a problem game.

524
00:25:16,280 --> 00:25:19,000
Speaker 1: They punt and fort Nighters.

525
00:25:18,800 --> 00:25:22,120
Speaker 2: Get the ball Jimmy Garoppolo as George Kittle wide open

526
00:25:22,200 --> 00:25:24,159
Speaker 2: for a touchdown and he misses them, so they end

527
00:25:24,240 --> 00:25:27,600
Speaker 2: up punting, and then you have Matthew Stafford dropping them

528
00:25:27,640 --> 00:25:31,200
Speaker 2: down for a touchdown. They're on third and goal, pass

529
00:25:31,240 --> 00:25:35,920
Speaker 2: gets tip intended for Cooper Cup interception. So that first

530
00:25:36,000 --> 00:25:40,080
Speaker 2: quarter is just a wide array of mistakes from both quarterbacks.

531
00:25:40,280 --> 00:25:43,680
Speaker 2: And this is Todd zero zero and you got the Rams.

532
00:25:43,720 --> 00:25:46,520
Speaker 2: They drive it down, score touchdown. At that point, I'm

533
00:25:46,520 --> 00:25:47,960
Speaker 2: starting to feel like the forty nine has got to

534
00:25:48,000 --> 00:25:50,720
Speaker 2: be in trouble just because the Rams are converting so

535
00:25:50,880 --> 00:25:53,639
Speaker 2: many third downs, and it just was almost tilting for

536
00:25:53,720 --> 00:25:55,200
Speaker 2: somebody who's on the forty nine ers.

537
00:25:55,320 --> 00:25:57,600
Speaker 1: But to forty nine has come right back down, get

538
00:25:57,680 --> 00:25:58,200
Speaker 1: it to Debo.

539
00:25:58,359 --> 00:26:03,200
Speaker 2: He makes a big plays seven seven, and you're looking

540
00:26:03,280 --> 00:26:04,920
Speaker 2: up and you're thinking, oh, this is gonna be a game.

541
00:26:05,359 --> 00:26:05,560
Speaker 1: Yeah.

542
00:26:05,600 --> 00:26:06,879
Speaker 3: It's exactly how I was feeling.

543
00:26:07,480 --> 00:26:10,480
Speaker 4: If it weren't for the history of these teams, and

544
00:26:10,520 --> 00:26:13,040
Speaker 4: it weren't for the Week eighteen game that we saw

545
00:26:13,119 --> 00:26:16,600
Speaker 4: where the Rams dominated early and then the Niners ended

546
00:26:16,680 --> 00:26:19,399
Speaker 4: up coming all the way back, dominating the yards and

547
00:26:19,880 --> 00:26:21,680
Speaker 4: the first downs and winning.

548
00:26:21,440 --> 00:26:22,000
Speaker 3: At the end.

549
00:26:22,400 --> 00:26:25,200
Speaker 4: If it weren't for that, and knowing how much of

550
00:26:25,240 --> 00:26:28,000
Speaker 4: the matchup edge was in the niners favor on how

551
00:26:28,000 --> 00:26:30,360
Speaker 4: we capped it, I would have felt much worse about

552
00:26:30,400 --> 00:26:33,320
Speaker 4: San Francisco's chances about twenty minutes into this one. The

553
00:26:33,359 --> 00:26:35,639
Speaker 4: whole thing is that the Niners are supposed to be

554
00:26:35,680 --> 00:26:38,800
Speaker 4: dominating the trenches, and instead I thought they were getting

555
00:26:38,840 --> 00:26:42,320
Speaker 4: dominated on both sides. The offensive line Karan Williams did

556
00:26:42,320 --> 00:26:45,520
Speaker 4: not look healthier have a usual dominant game. The Rams

557
00:26:45,720 --> 00:26:50,040
Speaker 4: defensive line was not amazing, like they weren't constantly in there,

558
00:26:50,359 --> 00:26:54,200
Speaker 4: but they were getting enough pressure to, you know, put

559
00:26:54,240 --> 00:26:59,240
Speaker 4: some Niners offense into difficulties. The Niners play calling really

560
00:26:59,280 --> 00:27:02,680
Speaker 4: frustrating this game. As a Niners backer, felt like Zach

561
00:27:02,720 --> 00:27:05,000
Speaker 4: Taylor just flew in and took over the Niners offense

562
00:27:05,040 --> 00:27:07,280
Speaker 4: for a lot of the game. So many runs on

563
00:27:07,280 --> 00:27:09,920
Speaker 4: the first down and now you just defended it. And

564
00:27:09,920 --> 00:27:12,359
Speaker 4: I understand that you need to do some running in it.

565
00:27:12,520 --> 00:27:14,520
Speaker 2: In this case, I felt like they should have been

566
00:27:14,520 --> 00:27:17,440
Speaker 2: passing a lot more. It wasn't a situation where with

567
00:27:17,600 --> 00:27:19,400
Speaker 2: Burrow it's just like, all right, you're going to get

568
00:27:19,400 --> 00:27:20,000
Speaker 2: this guy killed.

569
00:27:20,000 --> 00:27:21,240
Speaker 1: You got to run a little bit.

570
00:27:21,320 --> 00:27:24,440
Speaker 2: In this situation. The Rams couldn't defend the middle of

571
00:27:24,480 --> 00:27:27,560
Speaker 2: a field at all, and literally they could have just

572
00:27:27,600 --> 00:27:30,440
Speaker 2: thrown the debo row to kill I you. I mean,

573
00:27:30,640 --> 00:27:33,320
Speaker 2: that was there all game and obviously Jimmy Garoppolo missed

574
00:27:33,320 --> 00:27:36,640
Speaker 2: a bunch of ros, but that was their all game

575
00:27:36,720 --> 00:27:38,480
Speaker 2: for forty nine ers and they just did not take

576
00:27:38,520 --> 00:27:42,040
Speaker 2: advantage of it. And it was like extremely frustrating.

577
00:27:41,680 --> 00:27:44,199
Speaker 4: Yeah, really frustrating. We knew that the middle would be

578
00:27:44,240 --> 00:27:45,679
Speaker 4: open and they just wouldn't attack it.

579
00:27:46,200 --> 00:27:46,840
Speaker 3: The Rams.

580
00:27:47,000 --> 00:27:50,399
Speaker 4: Really it was hard because for the first twenty minutes

581
00:27:50,440 --> 00:27:52,440
Speaker 4: the Rams looked like they should be in controller, should

582
00:27:52,440 --> 00:27:57,080
Speaker 4: be ten nothing, fourteen to nothing. The Rams drive from

583
00:27:57,160 --> 00:28:00,320
Speaker 4: the two yard line, ninety eight yard drive four for

584
00:28:00,480 --> 00:28:03,760
Speaker 4: four and third down and Bosa is getting in the back,

585
00:28:03,800 --> 00:28:06,080
Speaker 4: You'll getting some pressure on but they just keep on

586
00:28:06,240 --> 00:28:08,200
Speaker 4: converting on third down, which is going to be the

587
00:28:08,200 --> 00:28:12,119
Speaker 4: theme all game long. Just any third down stop for

588
00:28:12,160 --> 00:28:14,720
Speaker 4: the Niners defense at any point, and one or two

589
00:28:14,720 --> 00:28:19,520
Speaker 4: stops maybe swings this entire game. And again you also

590
00:28:19,920 --> 00:28:21,960
Speaker 4: are feeling a little bit like the Packers game.

591
00:28:22,080 --> 00:28:24,160
Speaker 3: The Packers had the big early lead, or not.

592
00:28:24,119 --> 00:28:25,680
Speaker 4: A big early lead, but it felt like a big

593
00:28:25,720 --> 00:28:29,000
Speaker 4: early lead, only seven nothing, but I felt the Packers

594
00:28:29,080 --> 00:28:31,800
Speaker 4: in control, and we knew that the Niners could kind

595
00:28:31,840 --> 00:28:35,240
Speaker 4: of hang around and then come back late. A difference here,

596
00:28:35,800 --> 00:28:38,680
Speaker 4: a big key difference, is that the Niners weren't even

597
00:28:38,680 --> 00:28:41,440
Speaker 4: on the field offensively. And a big thing with the

598
00:28:41,520 --> 00:28:44,000
Speaker 4: Niners is you like that power run game because it

599
00:28:44,080 --> 00:28:46,600
Speaker 4: really starts to wear down the defense late in the

600
00:28:46,640 --> 00:28:49,720
Speaker 4: game when it's working. But that doesn't happen if the

601
00:28:49,800 --> 00:28:52,280
Speaker 4: Rams offense is on the field all game. So that

602
00:28:52,400 --> 00:28:54,400
Speaker 4: part was worrying me, even as the Niners kind of

603
00:28:54,440 --> 00:28:56,680
Speaker 4: hung in on the scoreboard even as they tied it

604
00:28:57,240 --> 00:28:59,720
Speaker 4: that the script is not in our favorite here is

605
00:28:59,800 --> 00:29:03,480
Speaker 4: nine backers because they're not on the field. Their defense

606
00:29:04,240 --> 00:29:06,760
Speaker 4: is really showing that they can't get the field on

607
00:29:06,840 --> 00:29:09,840
Speaker 4: third down. Anytime that Stafford can get the ball off,

608
00:29:10,120 --> 00:29:13,080
Speaker 4: Cooper Cup is open, but Backham is open. Those two

609
00:29:13,160 --> 00:29:17,800
Speaker 4: both had monster games. Later, after seven to seven, Cooper

610
00:29:17,840 --> 00:29:21,800
Speaker 4: Cup drops a touchdown. Basically Stafford hits him in stride

611
00:29:21,840 --> 00:29:24,480
Speaker 4: and Cup just drops it, his one mistake all game.

612
00:29:24,760 --> 00:29:27,280
Speaker 4: A couple of plays later, we got some dude named

613
00:29:27,320 --> 00:29:29,960
Speaker 4: scour Neeck hitting in the hands in the end zone,

614
00:29:30,280 --> 00:29:33,160
Speaker 4: he drops a touchdown for the Rams. Kwi Higbee is

615
00:29:33,200 --> 00:29:35,960
Speaker 4: out at this point, cam Akers was out for a while,

616
00:29:36,040 --> 00:29:38,080
Speaker 4: so the Rams are a little short handed and we're

617
00:29:38,080 --> 00:29:41,200
Speaker 4: getting these dudes coming in receivers and tight ends buried

618
00:29:41,200 --> 00:29:44,400
Speaker 4: down the depth chart, and it just it felt like

619
00:29:44,560 --> 00:29:47,360
Speaker 4: despite that in where the Rams really were down just

620
00:29:47,360 --> 00:29:50,240
Speaker 4: a couple of options, the Niners defense just felt like

621
00:29:50,320 --> 00:29:52,520
Speaker 4: goes all over the place in that first half and

622
00:29:53,040 --> 00:29:56,200
Speaker 4: just kind of barely holding on to me, Yeah, like.

623
00:29:56,200 --> 00:29:58,400
Speaker 2: Van Jefferson went out and I'm gonna be honest with yo,

624
00:29:58,520 --> 00:30:01,160
Speaker 2: feel like we hear it action probably at the top

625
00:30:01,840 --> 00:30:04,760
Speaker 2: one two percent of NFL fans.

626
00:30:05,240 --> 00:30:07,600
Speaker 1: I've never heard of this guy scout on in my life.

627
00:30:07,800 --> 00:30:11,040
Speaker 2: Like I had no idea who he was, So when

628
00:30:11,040 --> 00:30:13,080
Speaker 2: I saw him drop it, I just laughed and I'm like,

629
00:30:13,120 --> 00:30:14,080
Speaker 2: who the is this?

630
00:30:14,600 --> 00:30:15,520
Speaker 1: And look.

631
00:30:15,560 --> 00:30:17,880
Speaker 2: A couple of plays later, the forty Niners got their

632
00:30:17,960 --> 00:30:20,720
Speaker 2: big the first big third down stop of the game,

633
00:30:20,920 --> 00:30:24,800
Speaker 2: and it was huge because Matt Gay ended up missing

634
00:30:24,800 --> 00:30:27,360
Speaker 2: a fifty four yard field goal And to me, this

635
00:30:27,520 --> 00:30:30,040
Speaker 2: was the crucial play of the game for me because

636
00:30:30,600 --> 00:30:33,080
Speaker 2: the forty nine Ers have a chance to not only

637
00:30:33,080 --> 00:30:35,520
Speaker 2: score before the half and they have good field position

638
00:30:35,880 --> 00:30:38,400
Speaker 2: first intended their own forty four. But they get the

639
00:30:38,440 --> 00:30:41,440
Speaker 2: ball back in the second half. But for me, I

640
00:30:41,440 --> 00:30:43,960
Speaker 2: felt like the forty nine ers really mismanaged this. They

641
00:30:43,960 --> 00:30:47,480
Speaker 2: had multiple timeouts, It's a minute fifty seconds on the clock,

642
00:30:48,000 --> 00:30:50,240
Speaker 2: and they pretty much end up running out of town.

643
00:30:50,920 --> 00:30:54,000
Speaker 2: So look, theyre going to the half of ten to seven,

644
00:30:54,320 --> 00:30:56,440
Speaker 2: but I'm still frustrated to me that they didn't even

645
00:30:56,840 --> 00:30:59,120
Speaker 2: they just never got a chance to drive down the foot.

646
00:30:59,120 --> 00:31:01,800
Speaker 4: They just ran on a So I gotta say it too,

647
00:31:02,280 --> 00:31:05,560
Speaker 4: I'm with you missed opportunity there going to halftime before

648
00:31:05,640 --> 00:31:08,280
Speaker 4: that last field goal drive by the Niners.

649
00:31:08,520 --> 00:31:10,240
Speaker 3: Here's where we're at. It's seven to seven.

650
00:31:10,280 --> 00:31:12,440
Speaker 4: It's a tie game, but boy is it not a

651
00:31:12,480 --> 00:31:14,040
Speaker 4: tie game in any of the stats.

652
00:31:14,040 --> 00:31:14,680
Speaker 3: At this point.

653
00:31:14,920 --> 00:31:18,560
Speaker 4: The Niners have run thirteen plays in twenty eight minutes

654
00:31:18,640 --> 00:31:21,640
Speaker 4: to football to forty two plays for the Rams. It's

655
00:31:21,680 --> 00:31:24,840
Speaker 4: twenty minutes possession to eight minutes possession. The Rams have

656
00:31:25,080 --> 00:31:28,280
Speaker 4: seven of ten third down conversion. The Niners have yet

657
00:31:28,320 --> 00:31:31,560
Speaker 4: to convert a third down. So it's a tie game

658
00:31:31,720 --> 00:31:36,400
Speaker 4: on the scoreboard, but this is utter domination by Rams

659
00:31:36,400 --> 00:31:39,480
Speaker 4: team that looked better at everything so far. And like

660
00:31:39,560 --> 00:31:42,040
Speaker 4: you said that, I put that in my notes because

661
00:31:42,360 --> 00:31:45,000
Speaker 4: I like you. I felt like, Okay, they got the

662
00:31:45,080 --> 00:31:47,520
Speaker 4: one third down stop they needed, this is the chance

663
00:31:47,560 --> 00:31:50,320
Speaker 4: to flip it. And they did take the lead, but

664
00:31:50,480 --> 00:31:52,239
Speaker 4: it fell like a fake lead at the half, and

665
00:31:52,320 --> 00:31:55,120
Speaker 4: then they got the ball in the second half, they

666
00:31:55,120 --> 00:31:58,080
Speaker 4: get a couple of penalties, they give them first downs,

667
00:31:58,080 --> 00:31:59,040
Speaker 4: but they stall out.

668
00:31:59,560 --> 00:32:02,000
Speaker 2: And it's not only did they stall out, it was

669
00:32:02,000 --> 00:32:04,640
Speaker 2: a chump move. They had to Rams forty two and

670
00:32:05,320 --> 00:32:08,520
Speaker 2: second and nine. You don't run, you don't know, you

671
00:32:08,520 --> 00:32:11,240
Speaker 2: don't pick up anything short to even put yourself in

672
00:32:11,280 --> 00:32:12,560
Speaker 2: a position to possibly kick.

673
00:32:12,400 --> 00:32:14,360
Speaker 1: A field goal, and you end up punning from the

674
00:32:14,400 --> 00:32:14,960
Speaker 1: forty two.

675
00:32:15,040 --> 00:32:17,240
Speaker 2: And I just think at that point you got to

676
00:32:17,280 --> 00:32:19,760
Speaker 2: put yourself in position to get some point. When you

677
00:32:19,800 --> 00:32:22,200
Speaker 2: had that good fill position and you have to punt,

678
00:32:22,560 --> 00:32:24,440
Speaker 2: it's kind of it just puts you in a bad situation.

679
00:32:24,760 --> 00:32:27,560
Speaker 2: And obviously they were lucky to be able to stop

680
00:32:27,600 --> 00:32:30,840
Speaker 2: the Rams on the next drive and then come back

681
00:32:30,880 --> 00:32:33,840
Speaker 2: and score a touchdown to go up ten, but it

682
00:32:33,880 --> 00:32:35,720
Speaker 2: was just like it just felt like they had their

683
00:32:36,600 --> 00:32:39,400
Speaker 2: chance to put this game away. And that's the theme

684
00:32:39,440 --> 00:32:41,240
Speaker 2: of this game. They had chance to put this game away,

685
00:32:41,640 --> 00:32:42,400
Speaker 2: and they just did.

686
00:32:43,000 --> 00:32:46,320
Speaker 4: You could, really, since we've known all playoffs that the

687
00:32:46,400 --> 00:32:50,240
Speaker 4: Jimmy Garoppolo factor was looming, and you could really feel

688
00:32:50,280 --> 00:32:54,360
Speaker 4: in this game Kyle Shanahan did not trust his quarterback.

689
00:32:54,480 --> 00:32:56,480
Speaker 3: He just didn't. He didn't trust them.

690
00:32:56,960 --> 00:32:59,840
Speaker 4: And anytime that the Nineties would finally get rolling and

691
00:32:59,840 --> 00:33:02,200
Speaker 4: get a couple of nice plays, then they go back

692
00:33:02,240 --> 00:33:05,840
Speaker 4: to conservative play calling. Three times the Niners punted the

693
00:33:05,880 --> 00:33:09,760
Speaker 4: ball from inside Rams territory. And this is the Niners,

694
00:33:09,800 --> 00:33:12,800
Speaker 4: this is the team that's supposed to be winning the trenches,

695
00:33:13,280 --> 00:33:18,560
Speaker 4: winning with this physical, aggressive style, and they're just they're

696
00:33:18,640 --> 00:33:21,680
Speaker 4: not playing the style of football they should play. And

697
00:33:21,920 --> 00:33:25,160
Speaker 4: I can only understand it to be that's because they

698
00:33:25,160 --> 00:33:26,760
Speaker 4: don't trust Jimmy Garoppolo.

699
00:33:26,920 --> 00:33:30,160
Speaker 3: We saw why. We understand why you don't trust Jimmy Garoppolo.

700
00:33:30,520 --> 00:33:32,240
Speaker 4: But if you're gonna play him and ride them all

701
00:33:32,320 --> 00:33:34,840
Speaker 4: season and put him in this moment, you gotta let

702
00:33:34,880 --> 00:33:38,320
Speaker 4: your quarterback try to make some throws. He had game

703
00:33:38,320 --> 00:33:41,360
Speaker 4: winning drives this season, he's had a winning record for them.

704
00:33:41,640 --> 00:33:44,800
Speaker 4: He can make throws, and it just felt like they're

705
00:33:44,840 --> 00:33:46,920
Speaker 4: not really giving them a chance, even when the Niners

706
00:33:46,920 --> 00:33:50,880
Speaker 4: did get a touchdown, It's not Garoppolo, it's Deebo Dragon

707
00:33:50,960 --> 00:33:54,280
Speaker 4: dudes forward and slice them through guys. Juwan had a

708
00:33:54,360 --> 00:33:57,400
Speaker 4: huge catch and drags guys over. It's at that point

709
00:33:57,520 --> 00:34:00,480
Speaker 4: I'm feeling pretty good because it's not just that the

710
00:34:00,600 --> 00:34:03,400
Speaker 4: Niners are up seventeen to seven, but finally, for the

711
00:34:03,440 --> 00:34:07,280
Speaker 4: first time, I'm seeing the Niners physical team show up

712
00:34:07,360 --> 00:34:10,960
Speaker 4: on that drive and it's looking like, Okay, the Rams

713
00:34:11,000 --> 00:34:14,640
Speaker 4: defense is maybe not up for this fight. The Niners

714
00:34:14,719 --> 00:34:17,719
Speaker 4: are getting the hits and falling forward, and I have

715
00:34:17,800 --> 00:34:20,400
Speaker 4: in my notes, how do the Rams have the seven

716
00:34:20,440 --> 00:34:23,839
Speaker 4: points right now? Because it's seventeen to seven. I have

717
00:34:23,880 --> 00:34:26,480
Speaker 4: no idea how we got here. But we're basically at

718
00:34:26,520 --> 00:34:29,560
Speaker 4: seventeen minutes left and it's on mass Stafford, and we

719
00:34:29,640 --> 00:34:32,399
Speaker 4: know Stafford can do the fourth quarter comebacks. But you're

720
00:34:32,440 --> 00:34:36,200
Speaker 4: down ten against a good defense. Dimico Ryans really schemed

721
00:34:36,280 --> 00:34:38,759
Speaker 4: up well again. I think Nineers defense did a nice

722
00:34:38,840 --> 00:34:43,880
Speaker 4: job today, but it was on Stafford McVeigh and they

723
00:34:43,880 --> 00:34:44,440
Speaker 4: came through.

724
00:34:44,760 --> 00:34:47,359
Speaker 2: I think the Niners secondary failed them, but I think

725
00:34:47,360 --> 00:34:50,520
Speaker 2: the Niners front seven did what we expected. I think

726
00:34:50,600 --> 00:34:54,120
Speaker 2: the Niner secondary has been suspect all season. But look,

727
00:34:54,400 --> 00:34:56,879
Speaker 2: no team's gonna be perfect, and the front seven did

728
00:34:57,000 --> 00:34:57,480
Speaker 2: enough to win.

729
00:34:57,680 --> 00:35:00,239
Speaker 1: I think the defense actually did enough to win. I

730
00:35:00,280 --> 00:35:01,440
Speaker 1: think this is on the offense.

731
00:35:01,480 --> 00:35:04,719
Speaker 2: Look, when you're up seventeen fourteen, it's second and one

732
00:35:04,800 --> 00:35:07,920
Speaker 2: in Rams territory. You're at the Rams forty four. You've

733
00:35:07,920 --> 00:35:10,240
Speaker 2: got the Elijah Mitchell. He gets stuffed for one negative

734
00:35:10,239 --> 00:35:13,400
Speaker 2: one yard. Then it's third and two. At that point,

735
00:35:13,800 --> 00:35:16,759
Speaker 2: I'm either sneaking it with Jimmy Garoppolo, I'm throwing it.

736
00:35:16,960 --> 00:35:19,439
Speaker 2: But there's no way in the world on four for two,

737
00:35:20,600 --> 00:35:23,960
Speaker 2: I'm pointing it and it looked like you check actually

738
00:35:24,000 --> 00:35:24,520
Speaker 2: fumbled it.

739
00:35:24,960 --> 00:35:27,000
Speaker 1: And this is a big theme in the game as well.

740
00:35:27,200 --> 00:35:31,520
Speaker 2: Sean McVay throws out his challenge and it's blatantly wrong.

741
00:35:31,560 --> 00:35:34,040
Speaker 2: It's like blatantly wrong. It's like, why are you even

742
00:35:34,120 --> 00:35:36,200
Speaker 2: challenging this? And at that point, the Rams have no

743
00:35:36,320 --> 00:35:38,680
Speaker 2: timeout left for the rest of the game. It looks

744
00:35:38,680 --> 00:35:40,719
Speaker 2: like the Fordites are going to punt, but they take

745
00:35:40,760 --> 00:35:43,120
Speaker 2: the punt team off and they bring the offense back

746
00:35:43,160 --> 00:35:45,040
Speaker 2: on and the only thing they're looking to do is

747
00:35:45,080 --> 00:35:45,960
Speaker 2: to try to draw.

748
00:35:45,800 --> 00:35:48,520
Speaker 1: Them off sides. And it's like it's fourth and two

749
00:35:48,520 --> 00:35:50,960
Speaker 1: with the Rams forty five. The middle of the field's

750
00:35:51,080 --> 00:35:51,800
Speaker 1: wide open.

751
00:35:52,480 --> 00:35:54,879
Speaker 2: You're not passing it to the middle of field when

752
00:35:54,880 --> 00:35:57,560
Speaker 2: you're running the ball, you're putting Trump Williams in motion,

753
00:35:57,880 --> 00:36:00,400
Speaker 2: and it's just like it's the most frustrating thing. They

754
00:36:00,480 --> 00:36:02,879
Speaker 2: end up pointing it away if they if they pick

755
00:36:02,920 --> 00:36:06,560
Speaker 2: up that first down at minimum, I think they win

756
00:36:06,600 --> 00:36:10,120
Speaker 2: this game because you end up getting a field goal

757
00:36:10,160 --> 00:36:12,359
Speaker 2: if you don't get If you don't get a field goal,

758
00:36:12,400 --> 00:36:14,919
Speaker 2: you get a touchdown, which pretty much all but ICE's things.

759
00:36:15,000 --> 00:36:16,839
Speaker 2: But if you get a field goal and the Rams

760
00:36:16,840 --> 00:36:19,480
Speaker 2: come back and score a touchdown, you're looking at twenty

761
00:36:19,480 --> 00:36:21,680
Speaker 2: five to thirty five yards to get in field goal

762
00:36:21,719 --> 00:36:22,720
Speaker 2: position for the league.

763
00:36:22,840 --> 00:36:25,560
Speaker 1: Instead, they end up playing it kick the ball back

764
00:36:26,000 --> 00:36:26,800
Speaker 1: to the Rams.

765
00:36:27,080 --> 00:36:30,840
Speaker 2: The next play, Matthew Stafford pretty much throws it backgreaking

766
00:36:30,880 --> 00:36:35,880
Speaker 2: interception and tart drops it and then.

767
00:36:35,719 --> 00:36:38,080
Speaker 1: From there you know the Rams will probably gonna win

768
00:36:38,120 --> 00:36:38,479
Speaker 1: this game.

769
00:36:38,760 --> 00:36:41,000
Speaker 4: Yeah, that played that fourth and two and the third

770
00:36:41,040 --> 00:36:43,239
Speaker 4: and two. I thought that was the key turning point

771
00:36:43,320 --> 00:36:43,959
Speaker 4: for this game.

772
00:36:44,480 --> 00:36:45,160
Speaker 3: So we didn't say it.

773
00:36:45,200 --> 00:36:47,320
Speaker 4: The Rams will score a touchdown this point, So seventeen

774
00:36:47,320 --> 00:36:51,200
Speaker 4: to fourteen, great play. Design to get Cooper Cups single coverage.

775
00:36:51,400 --> 00:36:53,120
Speaker 4: I don't know what you're doing to get Cooper Cup

776
00:36:53,160 --> 00:36:56,360
Speaker 4: single covered. I'm third down, but the man crushed the

777
00:36:56,440 --> 00:36:59,520
Speaker 4: Niners on third down all game long, so he gets

778
00:36:59,520 --> 00:37:02,799
Speaker 4: the touchdown on third and long. That third down and

779
00:37:02,840 --> 00:37:05,560
Speaker 4: two play. We complained about it, two nine ers games

780
00:37:05,600 --> 00:37:09,640
Speaker 4: in a row. Stop putting Trent Williams in motion. You're

781
00:37:09,680 --> 00:37:13,680
Speaker 4: getting too cute. We got third and two personally, and

782
00:37:13,760 --> 00:37:17,280
Speaker 4: I'm not the play designer here, but I was wanting

783
00:37:17,320 --> 00:37:20,000
Speaker 4: them to dial up a deep shot here. Third and two.

784
00:37:20,640 --> 00:37:24,400
Speaker 4: You're inside Rams territory. This is clear four down territory.

785
00:37:25,040 --> 00:37:27,000
Speaker 4: Go with the play action here. Go with the kittle

786
00:37:27,080 --> 00:37:29,600
Speaker 4: over the middle for like a twenty yarder. Hit the

787
00:37:29,640 --> 00:37:32,759
Speaker 4: pass down the field. There's a great chance when you

788
00:37:32,800 --> 00:37:34,879
Speaker 4: know the Rams are going to be coming up, go

789
00:37:34,960 --> 00:37:38,120
Speaker 4: for the killer shot, get the touchdown, or the long play.

790
00:37:38,440 --> 00:37:41,000
Speaker 4: You bleed the clock, you get some points. You're in

791
00:37:41,120 --> 00:37:44,520
Speaker 4: great shape at that point. Instead, you get cute. You

792
00:37:44,560 --> 00:37:47,480
Speaker 4: put your stud blocker in motion, who again motion myself

793
00:37:47,560 --> 00:37:50,000
Speaker 4: out of the play. Basically, you hand off to your

794
00:37:50,080 --> 00:37:54,640
Speaker 4: full back Deebo. Samuel does nothing, and so the third

795
00:37:54,640 --> 00:37:56,680
Speaker 4: down play goes bad. You don't do the fourth down

796
00:37:56,719 --> 00:37:59,719
Speaker 4: to play, you punt it away again. Three times they

797
00:37:59,760 --> 00:38:03,319
Speaker 4: pun did inside rams territory. Whatever is the opposite of

798
00:38:03,360 --> 00:38:06,680
Speaker 4: a coaching clinic. That was this game, Sean McVay. You

799
00:38:06,719 --> 00:38:10,000
Speaker 4: mentioned the challenge earlier in the half. Sean McVay challenges

800
00:38:10,080 --> 00:38:13,680
Speaker 4: a Matthew Stafford sneak on fourth down. First of all,

801
00:38:14,080 --> 00:38:18,319
Speaker 4: stop sneaking Matthew Stafford. He gets no push at all.

802
00:38:18,400 --> 00:38:20,680
Speaker 4: The line gets no push. We've seen like four or

803
00:38:20,719 --> 00:38:23,200
Speaker 4: five sneaks in the playoffs and it looks terrible every

804
00:38:23,239 --> 00:38:27,799
Speaker 4: single time. And they never overturned sneaks. You can't, Like

805
00:38:28,000 --> 00:38:30,920
Speaker 4: he got a very favorable spot anyways, and still was

806
00:38:30,960 --> 00:38:35,440
Speaker 4: short and it's so hard to overturn. Was the knee

807
00:38:35,480 --> 00:38:37,680
Speaker 4: down on the fumble in the big pile and it's

808
00:38:37,719 --> 00:38:38,680
Speaker 4: so hard to overturn?

809
00:38:39,440 --> 00:38:42,400
Speaker 3: Was Stafford four inches further ahead? Like what are you doing?

810
00:38:42,960 --> 00:38:46,880
Speaker 4: Sean McVay coached like a coach that was desperate because

811
00:38:46,920 --> 00:38:49,600
Speaker 4: he knew that he loses to Shanahan all the time.

812
00:38:50,040 --> 00:38:52,879
Speaker 4: Shanahan coached like he was scared because he knew that

813
00:38:53,000 --> 00:38:55,400
Speaker 4: his quarterback is bad, and he was doing all he

814
00:38:55,480 --> 00:38:58,320
Speaker 4: could do not have to put the game in his hands,

815
00:38:58,520 --> 00:39:01,239
Speaker 4: and I get it. Look, you either put the ball

816
00:39:01,280 --> 00:39:03,799
Speaker 4: in your quarterback's hands on fourth them too, or you're

817
00:39:03,800 --> 00:39:06,200
Speaker 4: putting his hands with a minute left behind late in

818
00:39:06,239 --> 00:39:08,319
Speaker 4: the game. We saw how that one went. I would

819
00:39:08,320 --> 00:39:10,799
Speaker 4: think I would rather taking my chances on fourth them too.

820
00:39:11,200 --> 00:39:14,279
Speaker 2: Took the Rams two plays to get where they were

821
00:39:14,760 --> 00:39:16,120
Speaker 2: had they just not converted.

822
00:39:16,560 --> 00:39:19,640
Speaker 1: So it was just like the pump was just absolutely meaningless.

823
00:39:19,680 --> 00:39:22,320
Speaker 2: And Shruman vag when he threw the challenge, it felt

824
00:39:22,360 --> 00:39:25,000
Speaker 2: like he gave them an out. And you know they

825
00:39:25,000 --> 00:39:27,640
Speaker 2: said in the postgame press conference, Chant has said he

826
00:39:27,840 --> 00:39:30,759
Speaker 2: never they never crossed his mind to go through. So

827
00:39:30,880 --> 00:39:33,160
Speaker 2: I don't know what's going on if the fort Nitans

828
00:39:33,200 --> 00:39:37,800
Speaker 2: have an analyst department, but there's something organizational wise where

829
00:39:38,040 --> 00:39:38,520
Speaker 2: they're not.

830
00:39:38,440 --> 00:39:39,720
Speaker 1: Thinking about this type of stuff.

831
00:39:39,760 --> 00:39:42,080
Speaker 2: And we see it come up Tom and Tom again,

832
00:39:42,160 --> 00:39:45,400
Speaker 2: and Shanahan, for all his brilliance as far as calling

833
00:39:45,480 --> 00:39:50,600
Speaker 2: plays these situational football decisions, he's.

834
00:39:50,160 --> 00:39:52,239
Speaker 1: Lacking and Rams ended up getting it done.

835
00:39:52,640 --> 00:39:55,000
Speaker 2: And I think at the end you started to see

836
00:39:55,040 --> 00:39:58,360
Speaker 2: that Ram pass rush really caused some problems for the

837
00:39:58,400 --> 00:40:02,040
Speaker 2: forty nine ers on the last two When when my

838
00:40:02,160 --> 00:40:04,759
Speaker 2: team knows that you're throwing and they notice you have

839
00:40:04,800 --> 00:40:06,879
Speaker 2: to get the ball down the field. It's a lot

840
00:40:06,920 --> 00:40:09,440
Speaker 2: easier for Aaron down On and von Miller so to

841
00:40:09,480 --> 00:40:11,240
Speaker 2: rush the passion and cause some problems.

842
00:40:11,440 --> 00:40:13,680
Speaker 4: Yeah, and we got to get some credit to the crowd.

843
00:40:13,840 --> 00:40:15,600
Speaker 4: The crowd was really a factor late.

844
00:40:16,000 --> 00:40:18,279
Speaker 1: The crowd was like the Bloods and the crips. It

845
00:40:18,400 --> 00:40:20,920
Speaker 1: just felt like, you, hey, half the crowd.

846
00:40:20,880 --> 00:40:22,400
Speaker 2: Room for the forty nine ers and now they have

847
00:40:22,520 --> 00:40:24,080
Speaker 2: a crowd room for the Rams.

848
00:40:24,239 --> 00:40:26,839
Speaker 1: The Rams actually had to use a salad count at home.

849
00:40:27,160 --> 00:40:29,480
Speaker 4: Yeah, no, it's it was interesting as the Rams are going,

850
00:40:29,680 --> 00:40:34,520
Speaker 4: they're driving and it's tied, and the Rams they twice

851
00:40:34,719 --> 00:40:36,440
Speaker 4: should have had a delay of game. I thought the

852
00:40:36,480 --> 00:40:38,719
Speaker 4: clock ran out. They're out of timeouts. They can't call

853
00:40:38,800 --> 00:40:41,720
Speaker 4: time out. They got guys motioning all over the place.

854
00:40:42,200 --> 00:40:45,279
Speaker 4: They look like a team who is out of timeouts

855
00:40:45,280 --> 00:40:48,240
Speaker 4: and who doesn't really know what they're doing. And bred

856
00:40:48,239 --> 00:40:50,919
Speaker 4: Warner makes the big stop, they get the field goal.

857
00:40:51,480 --> 00:40:55,080
Speaker 4: The Niners get the ball back and take twenty three

858
00:40:55,120 --> 00:40:56,479
Speaker 4: seconds off the clock and they're drive.

859
00:40:56,880 --> 00:40:59,479
Speaker 3: So seventeen seventeen sixty nine left.

860
00:41:00,000 --> 00:41:03,040
Speaker 4: Classic Niners football is that the Rams don't touch the

861
00:41:03,040 --> 00:41:06,440
Speaker 4: ball again. You run the ball, You run the clock.

862
00:41:06,960 --> 00:41:09,960
Speaker 4: The Niners have their timeouts, the Rams are out of timeouts.

863
00:41:10,320 --> 00:41:12,640
Speaker 4: This is your chance to be the Niners. This is

864
00:41:12,680 --> 00:41:15,640
Speaker 4: your chance to go do the thing you're supposed to be.

865
00:41:15,640 --> 00:41:19,120
Speaker 4: Be the physical team. Run basically your form in an offense,

866
00:41:19,560 --> 00:41:22,560
Speaker 4: and just run the clock. Get in the field goal, arrange,

867
00:41:22,640 --> 00:41:24,719
Speaker 4: fall down shore the goal line, kick the field goal,

868
00:41:24,760 --> 00:41:25,200
Speaker 4: get out of.

869
00:41:25,200 --> 00:41:27,279
Speaker 3: There, no matter how bad the rest of it was.

870
00:41:27,800 --> 00:41:32,120
Speaker 4: Instead, preplays twenty three seconds and then the Rams suddenly

871
00:41:32,160 --> 00:41:33,959
Speaker 4: are on the thirty nine in their tie game.

872
00:41:34,400 --> 00:41:36,319
Speaker 3: And then again what do they do? Same thing as

873
00:41:36,360 --> 00:41:36,839
Speaker 3: all game.

874
00:41:37,160 --> 00:41:40,600
Speaker 4: They convert the third down, convert the third down, We

875
00:41:40,680 --> 00:41:42,520
Speaker 4: get up blitz on a third down, so we get

876
00:41:42,600 --> 00:41:46,600
Speaker 4: cup open again on a third down, and then we're

877
00:41:46,640 --> 00:41:50,280
Speaker 4: at two minutes and thirty seconds. The Niners don't call timeout.

878
00:41:50,480 --> 00:41:52,960
Speaker 4: I don't know what that game management is like. I

879
00:41:53,000 --> 00:41:56,200
Speaker 4: think again, it's being afraid of Jimmy Garoppolo. It's like, well,

880
00:41:56,200 --> 00:41:58,240
Speaker 4: we got to save our timeouts when we have the ball,

881
00:41:58,480 --> 00:42:00,080
Speaker 4: so we got to protect our guy.

882
00:42:00,600 --> 00:42:01,200
Speaker 3: Doesn't work.

883
00:42:01,239 --> 00:42:03,560
Speaker 4: They call it time outs inside the two minute warning,

884
00:42:04,280 --> 00:42:06,920
Speaker 4: and the Rams get the field goal. Ball comes back

885
00:42:06,960 --> 00:42:09,080
Speaker 4: to the Niners, still a minute forty six left, still

886
00:42:09,080 --> 00:42:13,560
Speaker 4: a timeout. They did nothing, absolutely nothing. Garoppolo looked horrendous.

887
00:42:13,880 --> 00:42:17,919
Speaker 4: Garoppolo was the terrible quarterback everyone has tried to warn

888
00:42:18,000 --> 00:42:21,719
Speaker 4: us about for all of our Niners' futures. They came

889
00:42:21,800 --> 00:42:24,400
Speaker 4: crumbling down on those last two draves. Groppolo is terrible.

890
00:42:24,680 --> 00:42:27,000
Speaker 4: The overall numbers for this game were not bad, but

891
00:42:27,080 --> 00:42:30,440
Speaker 4: he just did not get the job done. He was disastrous.

892
00:42:30,840 --> 00:42:33,280
Speaker 4: He almost threw an interception, then he did throw an interception.

893
00:42:34,080 --> 00:42:38,919
Speaker 4: It only is appropriate that Garoppolo's surely last pass ever

894
00:42:39,000 --> 00:42:41,880
Speaker 4: with the forty nine ers will be an interception under

895
00:42:41,880 --> 00:42:45,960
Speaker 4: pressure season over bringing on the Trey Lance era. That

896
00:42:46,080 --> 00:42:48,920
Speaker 4: is the end for Garoppolo and the Niners season.

897
00:42:49,400 --> 00:42:52,800
Speaker 2: As bad as Garoppolo was the whole offense on the

898
00:42:52,880 --> 00:42:53,880
Speaker 2: last two drops.

899
00:42:53,600 --> 00:42:56,600
Speaker 1: Of disoriented, it's.

900
00:42:56,000 --> 00:43:00,480
Speaker 2: Just tragic because really this game swung on the decision

901
00:43:00,520 --> 00:43:02,439
Speaker 2: to punt the ball and on the second and one,

902
00:43:02,960 --> 00:43:06,240
Speaker 2: the third and two, the punt the drop interception.

903
00:43:06,600 --> 00:43:07,719
Speaker 1: That was the game right there.

904
00:43:08,080 --> 00:43:11,120
Speaker 2: And look, if one of those games, one of those

905
00:43:11,160 --> 00:43:14,160
Speaker 2: plays swings a different direction, you pick up the second

906
00:43:14,200 --> 00:43:16,279
Speaker 2: and one, or you pick up the third and two,

907
00:43:16,480 --> 00:43:19,120
Speaker 2: or you don't punt or you get the interception, the

908
00:43:19,160 --> 00:43:21,520
Speaker 2: forty Nineers are probably going to the Super Bowl. That's

909
00:43:21,560 --> 00:43:24,680
Speaker 2: the difference between the margin and victory. In NFL these days,

910
00:43:24,520 --> 00:43:29,120
Speaker 2: it's just razor thin. Jimmy Garoppolo and Kyle Shanahan probably

911
00:43:29,120 --> 00:43:31,680
Speaker 2: cost this team a chance in Super Bowl.

912
00:43:32,440 --> 00:43:34,840
Speaker 4: Yeah, I agree with all of that, but at the

913
00:43:34,880 --> 00:43:38,240
Speaker 4: same time, you know, we both of us run the Niners,

914
00:43:38,239 --> 00:43:40,760
Speaker 4: so we're rooting Niners here all the way. The better

915
00:43:40,880 --> 00:43:44,000
Speaker 4: team won this game three under ninety six stards to

916
00:43:44,040 --> 00:43:46,759
Speaker 4: two hundred and eighty two seventy sixth plays to only

917
00:43:46,840 --> 00:43:50,360
Speaker 4: fifty for the Niners. The Rams won this game. You know,

918
00:43:50,440 --> 00:43:52,640
Speaker 4: we pointed out a couple of those key pivot plays.

919
00:43:52,680 --> 00:43:55,399
Speaker 4: It's always easy to pinpoint those. But for the game

920
00:43:55,440 --> 00:43:58,560
Speaker 4: big picture, the Rams won this game on late downs.

921
00:43:59,160 --> 00:44:03,080
Speaker 4: Niners on late downs third and fourth downs negative zero

922
00:44:03,120 --> 00:44:07,000
Speaker 4: point eight three epa per play, just awful on nine plays.

923
00:44:07,280 --> 00:44:10,680
Speaker 4: The Rams on sixteen late down passes zero point five

924
00:44:10,680 --> 00:44:12,960
Speaker 4: to six EPA per play, which is an awesome number,

925
00:44:13,239 --> 00:44:17,760
Speaker 4: sixty nine percent success rate. The Rams converted third and seven,

926
00:44:17,800 --> 00:44:20,880
Speaker 4: They got a seventeen yard play, third and ten, fourteen

927
00:44:20,960 --> 00:44:24,560
Speaker 4: yard scramble, third and six, Cooper Cup for fifteen, third

928
00:44:24,600 --> 00:44:27,720
Speaker 4: and thirteen, Cooper Cup for sixteen in a touchdown, third

929
00:44:27,719 --> 00:44:30,960
Speaker 4: and nine, Odell Beckham, third and ten, Cooper Cup for sixteen,

930
00:44:31,040 --> 00:44:33,719
Speaker 4: third and three, Cooper Cup for twenty five. It was

931
00:44:33,760 --> 00:44:37,560
Speaker 4: Cooper Cup on a third down, Matt Stafford on third down.

932
00:44:38,400 --> 00:44:41,840
Speaker 4: We pinpointed those key plays and the big decisions, but

933
00:44:42,040 --> 00:44:45,160
Speaker 4: throughout the game, the game was won and lost played

934
00:44:45,200 --> 00:44:49,560
Speaker 4: by play on those third downs. Dafford, you know, it

935
00:44:49,640 --> 00:44:52,200
Speaker 4: really did come down to Dafford came through on the

936
00:44:52,239 --> 00:44:55,799
Speaker 4: third down and Groppolo didn't. And really Cup came through

937
00:44:55,800 --> 00:44:59,360
Speaker 4: on third down. The guy was awesome, kept getting open

938
00:45:00,160 --> 00:45:03,319
Speaker 4: and the Rams actually went two of six in the

939
00:45:03,360 --> 00:45:07,239
Speaker 4: red zone. If they don't throw that interception early, if

940
00:45:07,239 --> 00:45:09,800
Speaker 4: they don't miss the field goal, if they don't settle

941
00:45:09,840 --> 00:45:11,960
Speaker 4: for a couple of field goals. There are a lot

942
00:45:11,960 --> 00:45:14,279
Speaker 4: of versions of this game that the Niners are never

943
00:45:14,280 --> 00:45:17,439
Speaker 4: even in it, and the Rams dominated. So you're right,

944
00:45:17,719 --> 00:45:20,439
Speaker 4: the Niners had a shot here. The Niners are up ten,

945
00:45:20,520 --> 00:45:22,759
Speaker 4: of course they have a shot of this game. But

946
00:45:23,680 --> 00:45:25,799
Speaker 4: the Rams were the better team here.

947
00:45:26,040 --> 00:45:27,600
Speaker 2: I don't know, I think it speaks to how close

948
00:45:27,640 --> 00:45:29,680
Speaker 2: these teams actually are. I mean, for a team to

949
00:45:29,719 --> 00:45:32,520
Speaker 2: be up ten end up losing, and I mean, you

950
00:45:32,600 --> 00:45:34,839
Speaker 2: have all the mistakes that the Rams made. I think

951
00:45:34,880 --> 00:45:37,160
Speaker 2: the surprising thing about these game is the forty nine ers.

952
00:45:37,200 --> 00:45:39,719
Speaker 2: They just weren't successful in the ground at all. When

953
00:45:39,719 --> 00:45:42,360
Speaker 2: you look at the rushing stats, they had a negative

954
00:45:42,400 --> 00:45:47,920
Speaker 2: forty five EPA to play eleven percent success rate twenty rushing,

955
00:45:47,960 --> 00:45:50,200
Speaker 2: the attempts two point five yards run.

956
00:45:50,840 --> 00:45:53,000
Speaker 1: We all know the Rams can't run the ball, but

957
00:45:53,239 --> 00:45:54,520
Speaker 1: it felt like in a second in the.

958
00:45:54,480 --> 00:45:56,440
Speaker 2: First half, they did a good job of running the

959
00:45:56,440 --> 00:45:59,440
Speaker 2: ball and really keeping the ball away from the.

960
00:45:59,360 --> 00:46:00,000
Speaker 1: Forty nine ers.

961
00:46:00,239 --> 00:46:02,920
Speaker 2: So look, I think those are the biggest two surprises

962
00:46:02,960 --> 00:46:05,000
Speaker 2: for me of this game. It's because we know that

963
00:46:05,239 --> 00:46:07,000
Speaker 2: the forty nine ers they were supposed to control the

964
00:46:07,040 --> 00:46:07,839
Speaker 2: clock through ramp.

965
00:46:08,040 --> 00:46:10,319
Speaker 4: I agree, the Rams surprised me how they ran the

966
00:46:10,320 --> 00:46:13,920
Speaker 4: ball early. The Rams flipped the script. Like in Week eighteen,

967
00:46:14,000 --> 00:46:17,200
Speaker 4: the Niners beat the Rams, they came back, they won

968
00:46:17,239 --> 00:46:20,400
Speaker 4: by three, but the numbers told us that the forty

969
00:46:20,440 --> 00:46:23,719
Speaker 4: nine ers really dominated that game. This one was the

970
00:46:23,760 --> 00:46:27,200
Speaker 4: exact opposite. The Rams controlled the time of possession, not

971
00:46:27,280 --> 00:46:29,799
Speaker 4: the forty nine ers. The Rams ran the ball early,

972
00:46:29,920 --> 00:46:33,680
Speaker 4: not the forty nine ers. Successfully at least, and yeah,

973
00:46:33,719 --> 00:46:36,399
Speaker 4: they they're close teams, but the Rams got the job

974
00:46:36,520 --> 00:46:39,560
Speaker 4: done and the Rams did it the way that the

975
00:46:39,640 --> 00:46:42,319
Speaker 4: Niners were supposed to do it too, So credit for that.

976
00:46:42,880 --> 00:46:45,960
Speaker 4: John McVay and the Rams are now two to twenty

977
00:46:46,000 --> 00:46:49,160
Speaker 4: three when trailing by double digits in the second half.

978
00:46:49,560 --> 00:46:53,560
Speaker 4: The only wins are today in the UNFC Championship and

979
00:46:53,640 --> 00:46:57,040
Speaker 4: against the Saints in the NFC Championship. Guess if you're

980
00:46:57,040 --> 00:47:00,160
Speaker 4: gonna only come back down double digits with McVeigh, you

981
00:47:00,239 --> 00:47:02,239
Speaker 4: got your one time a couple of times every now

982
00:47:02,239 --> 00:47:04,759
Speaker 4: and then. Doing in the NFC Championship is a pretty

983
00:47:04,760 --> 00:47:08,680
Speaker 4: good way to go for me personally. Tough loss are

984
00:47:08,719 --> 00:47:12,880
Speaker 4: twenty five to one forty nine Ers Super Bowl ticket

985
00:47:12,960 --> 00:47:15,440
Speaker 4: to get to the Super Bowl goes out the window.

986
00:47:15,719 --> 00:47:16,600
Speaker 3: We were right there.

987
00:47:17,080 --> 00:47:19,319
Speaker 4: We had a few chances to hedge going in at

988
00:47:19,360 --> 00:47:22,760
Speaker 4: halftime was plus odds on the Rams money line, about

989
00:47:22,800 --> 00:47:25,840
Speaker 4: plus two point fifty in the third quarter there, but

990
00:47:26,280 --> 00:47:28,439
Speaker 4: I rode my guys. I felt good about the read

991
00:47:28,520 --> 00:47:29,880
Speaker 4: and the Niners had the lead and we're in a

992
00:47:29,880 --> 00:47:33,160
Speaker 4: good position plus five thousand win the Super Bowl not

993
00:47:33,280 --> 00:47:35,839
Speaker 4: going to happen would have been favorites if they could

994
00:47:35,840 --> 00:47:37,440
Speaker 4: just close this one out. You know, we got the

995
00:47:37,440 --> 00:47:40,200
Speaker 4: cover under Niners at least, but that is not much

996
00:47:40,200 --> 00:47:41,560
Speaker 4: with silver lining for me here.

997
00:47:42,160 --> 00:47:43,799
Speaker 1: I mean, I had big money on forty nine ers.

998
00:47:43,840 --> 00:47:47,560
Speaker 2: So I'm very happy with how this postseason has turned

999
00:47:47,560 --> 00:47:50,239
Speaker 2: out looked. I mean, futures are tough to hit, and

1000
00:47:50,680 --> 00:47:52,600
Speaker 2: this is actually the second year in a row in

1001
00:47:52,640 --> 00:47:56,440
Speaker 2: which I had a great future and it got in

1002
00:47:56,440 --> 00:47:58,879
Speaker 2: an NFC championship. Look, if you hit one of these

1003
00:47:58,920 --> 00:48:02,240
Speaker 2: things every time or so, I mean, at the prices

1004
00:48:02,280 --> 00:48:04,320
Speaker 2: that we're getting, you're gonna.

1005
00:48:04,120 --> 00:48:04,720
Speaker 1: Make a profit.

1006
00:48:04,840 --> 00:48:09,279
Speaker 4: So yeah, I had bucks twelve to one last year

1007
00:48:09,320 --> 00:48:10,920
Speaker 4: that I took about two weeks before at the end

1008
00:48:10,920 --> 00:48:13,319
Speaker 4: of the season, and I thought I somehow pulled out

1009
00:48:13,360 --> 00:48:15,239
Speaker 4: two years in a row with these nine ers. We

1010
00:48:15,239 --> 00:48:17,799
Speaker 4: were right there, We were there. We just had to

1011
00:48:17,800 --> 00:48:20,120
Speaker 4: get one of those plays to go our way. Couldn't

1012
00:48:20,160 --> 00:48:22,480
Speaker 4: do it. The Rams are head to the Super Bowl.

1013
00:48:22,800 --> 00:48:26,200
Speaker 4: The Rams will host the Super Bowl. After never in

1014
00:48:26,360 --> 00:48:28,719
Speaker 4: history a team hosting the Super Bowl, we get the

1015
00:48:28,800 --> 00:48:31,200
Speaker 4: Rams hosting a second straight year a team will host.

1016
00:48:31,520 --> 00:48:34,000
Speaker 4: So as we get out of here, let's take a

1017
00:48:34,000 --> 00:48:38,000
Speaker 4: look at our hot read and preview the Super Bowl hotpo.

1018
00:48:40,480 --> 00:48:43,680
Speaker 4: Rams open at minus three and a half, still minus

1019
00:48:43,719 --> 00:48:46,120
Speaker 4: three and a half, I believe at bet MGM already

1020
00:48:46,160 --> 00:48:48,880
Speaker 4: at minus four at some books. As the number is,

1021
00:48:49,360 --> 00:48:52,560
Speaker 4: money is quickly coming in on the Rams Bengals plus

1022
00:48:52,560 --> 00:48:54,680
Speaker 4: one fifty five on the money line, and the total

1023
00:48:55,080 --> 00:48:56,440
Speaker 4: is at forty nine and a half.

1024
00:48:56,920 --> 00:48:58,840
Speaker 3: The Bengals are in their third Super Bowl.

1025
00:48:59,200 --> 00:49:01,960
Speaker 4: They have yet to win one. Both previous times were

1026
00:49:02,040 --> 00:49:04,800
Speaker 4: one score losses to the forty nine ers, so perhaps

1027
00:49:04,840 --> 00:49:07,239
Speaker 4: they're feeling pretty good about not getting the niners here.

1028
00:49:07,640 --> 00:49:10,080
Speaker 4: The Rams are one and three in their Super bowls.

1029
00:49:10,440 --> 00:49:12,799
Speaker 4: Sean McVay was here a few years ago, didn't go

1030
00:49:12,920 --> 00:49:15,800
Speaker 4: so well, only three points. I'm not one Bill Belichick

1031
00:49:15,880 --> 00:49:18,479
Speaker 4: in walking through that door, though. What's your early read

1032
00:49:18,560 --> 00:49:20,320
Speaker 4: on Rams Bengals Super Bowl?

1033
00:49:21,120 --> 00:49:23,719
Speaker 2: My mono actually makes this game Rams minus five, so

1034
00:49:23,760 --> 00:49:26,759
Speaker 2: I wasn't surprised to see this number move up from

1035
00:49:26,800 --> 00:49:29,640
Speaker 2: the opener three and a half of sitting at four

1036
00:49:29,800 --> 00:49:33,840
Speaker 2: right now, me personally, I'm gonna be waiting to get

1037
00:49:34,040 --> 00:49:37,560
Speaker 2: the better number on the Bengals. Look, I know there's

1038
00:49:38,080 --> 00:49:40,279
Speaker 2: look when you met looking dismatch up Aaron Donald von

1039
00:49:40,360 --> 00:49:43,719
Speaker 2: Miller have a huge edge on the defensive line past

1040
00:49:43,800 --> 00:49:48,160
Speaker 2: Russ win rate, You're facing this Bengals offensive line who

1041
00:49:48,239 --> 00:49:49,960
Speaker 2: really can't block up the passer.

1042
00:49:50,080 --> 00:49:52,960
Speaker 1: So I think that's gonna be an issue the Bengals.

1043
00:49:53,000 --> 00:49:55,080
Speaker 2: They just have a huge edge with their receiver Jamar

1044
00:49:55,200 --> 00:49:58,480
Speaker 2: Chase Tyler boy facing this depleted Rams secondary.

1045
00:49:58,680 --> 00:50:02,000
Speaker 1: Look, you got a oh washed up Eric Weddle back there.

1046
00:50:02,560 --> 00:50:05,239
Speaker 2: I know Ramsey is back there, but there's just something

1047
00:50:05,239 --> 00:50:06,440
Speaker 2: about this Bengals team that.

1048
00:50:06,440 --> 00:50:07,440
Speaker 1: I think is special.

1049
00:50:07,719 --> 00:50:09,920
Speaker 2: And I think the four point spreads a little bit

1050
00:50:09,960 --> 00:50:11,200
Speaker 2: too much, and I think the Bengals gonna have a

1051
00:50:11,280 --> 00:50:12,200
Speaker 2: chance to win this game out.

1052
00:50:12,120 --> 00:50:15,879
Speaker 4: Right, Well, I think they'll have a chance because I'm

1053
00:50:15,960 --> 00:50:18,440
Speaker 4: not super excited to bet on either of these teams.

1054
00:50:18,480 --> 00:50:20,440
Speaker 4: These are both teams that I've been fading down the

1055
00:50:20,440 --> 00:50:22,880
Speaker 4: stretch here, and he can't fait both of them. One

1056
00:50:22,920 --> 00:50:24,080
Speaker 4: of them is going to get the win. One of

1057
00:50:24,120 --> 00:50:25,760
Speaker 4: them is going to get the cover in the super Bowl.

1058
00:50:26,280 --> 00:50:29,800
Speaker 4: So that defensive line for the Rams that you mentioned,

1059
00:50:29,840 --> 00:50:33,719
Speaker 4: they're awesome pass rush winner eight. That's the key mismatch

1060
00:50:33,760 --> 00:50:37,719
Speaker 4: here because the Bengals, we know that offensive line has

1061
00:50:37,840 --> 00:50:40,200
Speaker 4: not been good. That was the story coming into the

1062
00:50:40,200 --> 00:50:42,800
Speaker 4: season for the Bengals. Did they make the right draft

1063
00:50:42,800 --> 00:50:45,160
Speaker 4: pick that should they have taken the offensive line. Man,

1064
00:50:45,400 --> 00:50:47,720
Speaker 4: I'm pretty sure they're happy with Jamar Chase right now,

1065
00:50:48,040 --> 00:50:50,560
Speaker 4: but the old line is not held up. Joe Burrow

1066
00:50:50,600 --> 00:50:52,920
Speaker 4: got sacked a franchise record number of times in the

1067
00:50:52,920 --> 00:50:56,480
Speaker 4: regular season. He got sacked nine times against the Titans,

1068
00:50:56,760 --> 00:51:00,520
Speaker 4: and now he's got Aaron Donald von Miller. These guys

1069
00:51:00,560 --> 00:51:03,480
Speaker 4: are going to live in the Bengals backfield and no

1070
00:51:03,480 --> 00:51:05,279
Speaker 4: matter how good your receivers are, if you don't have

1071
00:51:05,320 --> 00:51:07,560
Speaker 4: time to get the ball to them. We saw that

1072
00:51:07,600 --> 00:51:10,600
Speaker 4: in last year's Super Bowl. When the line, the offensive

1073
00:51:10,640 --> 00:51:12,320
Speaker 4: line did not hold up, it didn't matter what the

1074
00:51:12,400 --> 00:51:15,239
Speaker 4: quarterback could do after that. So key thing here is

1075
00:51:15,239 --> 00:51:19,400
Speaker 4: that defense the Bengals. We said all year the Bengals

1076
00:51:19,400 --> 00:51:22,719
Speaker 4: faced the offense faced the easiest slate of defenses in

1077
00:51:22,760 --> 00:51:25,799
Speaker 4: the entire league on the schedule. The Rams are the

1078
00:51:25,840 --> 00:51:28,919
Speaker 4: best defense this team will face all year. We don't

1079
00:51:28,960 --> 00:51:31,279
Speaker 4: know what they're gonna look like against the defense this good.

1080
00:51:31,840 --> 00:51:34,719
Speaker 4: The Bengals played the Niners, the only team they played

1081
00:51:34,719 --> 00:51:38,640
Speaker 4: all season in the top ten by DVOA defensively. They

1082
00:51:38,680 --> 00:51:42,000
Speaker 4: played the Browns twice, who were number eleven defensively, and

1083
00:51:42,040 --> 00:51:43,480
Speaker 4: they lost all three of those.

1084
00:51:43,320 --> 00:51:44,399
Speaker 3: Games, all one to three.

1085
00:51:44,520 --> 00:51:47,120
Speaker 4: One of them Week eight teams doesn't really count, but

1086
00:51:47,360 --> 00:51:50,560
Speaker 4: in those games, Bengals scored nineteen and a half points

1087
00:51:50,880 --> 00:51:54,680
Speaker 4: against those top eleven defenses twenty eight point nine points

1088
00:51:54,719 --> 00:51:56,480
Speaker 4: against the other games on their.

1089
00:51:56,320 --> 00:51:59,000
Speaker 3: Schedule They've played the Raiders.

1090
00:51:58,920 --> 00:52:02,160
Speaker 4: The Titans, and the Chief. The Rams are much better

1091
00:52:02,200 --> 00:52:04,600
Speaker 4: defense than anything the Bengals have had to face in

1092
00:52:04,640 --> 00:52:07,840
Speaker 4: these weeks. So I just think the Rams are better.

1093
00:52:07,880 --> 00:52:10,200
Speaker 4: I think the Rams defense is a lot better. Their

1094
00:52:10,239 --> 00:52:14,000
Speaker 4: offense is much better. Even as much as I dumped

1095
00:52:14,000 --> 00:52:17,680
Speaker 4: on Sean McVay today the coaching mismatch, I still don't

1096
00:52:17,719 --> 00:52:20,560
Speaker 4: really trust Zach Taylor here. It's the same things that

1097
00:52:20,560 --> 00:52:23,319
Speaker 4: I've said about the Bengals all the way. I just

1098
00:52:23,360 --> 00:52:26,400
Speaker 4: think the Rams are better. So I like the Rams

1099
00:52:26,440 --> 00:52:29,800
Speaker 4: defense here to be the difference. I wish the number

1100
00:52:29,840 --> 00:52:32,760
Speaker 4: were a little bit lower, but I lean Rams early

1101
00:52:32,840 --> 00:52:35,760
Speaker 4: on this as we dig into it a little bit more. Also,

1102
00:52:35,800 --> 00:52:38,120
Speaker 4: I think I like the first half under I think

1103
00:52:38,120 --> 00:52:40,520
Speaker 4: both coaches are gonna be a little bit. The coach

1104
00:52:40,600 --> 00:52:42,520
Speaker 4: is scared a little bit. We've talked about that in

1105
00:52:42,600 --> 00:52:46,120
Speaker 4: both these games. The Rams defense, the metrics are much

1106
00:52:46,160 --> 00:52:48,919
Speaker 4: better in the first half. Bengals aren't really a fast

1107
00:52:48,960 --> 00:52:52,439
Speaker 4: starting team. They're pretty poor first quarter team, So that's

1108
00:52:52,480 --> 00:52:54,880
Speaker 4: one of the angles I'll be looking at. But this

1109
00:52:54,960 --> 00:52:57,279
Speaker 4: is not the super Bowl that I expected, So I'm

1110
00:52:57,280 --> 00:52:59,000
Speaker 4: excited to dig into it a little bit and see

1111
00:52:59,000 --> 00:52:59,560
Speaker 4: where we go.

1112
00:53:00,200 --> 00:53:02,160
Speaker 3: I think I'm on the rams. We might be finally

1113
00:53:02,200 --> 00:53:04,160
Speaker 3: had to head in our biggest game of the season.

1114
00:53:04,200 --> 00:53:06,239
Speaker 1: Here. Yeah, I think it's I think it's gonna be

1115
00:53:06,280 --> 00:53:06,840
Speaker 1: really exciting.

1116
00:53:06,880 --> 00:53:08,879
Speaker 2: I mean, most of these playoffs, we had a ton

1117
00:53:08,920 --> 00:53:10,560
Speaker 2: of rematches, and this is gonna be one of the

1118
00:53:10,600 --> 00:53:13,759
Speaker 2: few games in the postseason is in a rematch, so

1119
00:53:14,080 --> 00:53:15,840
Speaker 2: we have a lot of new things to break down.

1120
00:53:16,080 --> 00:53:18,400
Speaker 2: We don't know what we're gonna expect from these two teams.

1121
00:53:18,480 --> 00:53:21,320
Speaker 2: I think that's something that we saw throughout the entire playoffs.

1122
00:53:21,360 --> 00:53:24,040
Speaker 2: We kind of had a good idea of what we'd see.

1123
00:53:24,200 --> 00:53:26,880
Speaker 1: We have no idea, So we're gonna dig into that

1124
00:53:26,920 --> 00:53:28,120
Speaker 1: through the next couple of weeks.
