1
00:00:05,240 --> 00:00:09,319
Speaker 1: Welcome back to the Richard Sherman Podcast. What another week

2
00:00:09,360 --> 00:00:11,799
Speaker 1: for the San Francisco forty nine ers. They get their

3
00:00:11,840 --> 00:00:16,400
Speaker 1: star quarterback back Rock Party. There was conversations, including on

4
00:00:16,480 --> 00:00:19,160
Speaker 1: this podcast, wondering what they would do and when they

5
00:00:19,160 --> 00:00:22,440
Speaker 1: would bring him back. I thought maybe they would bring

6
00:00:22,480 --> 00:00:25,520
Speaker 1: him wait another week and allow him to heal, especially

7
00:00:25,520 --> 00:00:27,960
Speaker 1: with Mac Jones playing the way they did. But Kyle

8
00:00:28,000 --> 00:00:31,400
Speaker 1: Shanahan made the decision against the struggling Arizona Cardinals team

9
00:00:31,720 --> 00:00:35,360
Speaker 1: that he was going to make that call immediately and

10
00:00:35,479 --> 00:00:39,559
Speaker 1: have Brock Purdy start versus the Arizona Cardinals, and it

11
00:00:39,640 --> 00:00:42,479
Speaker 1: was a great decision. He had three touchdown passes in

12
00:00:42,520 --> 00:00:46,400
Speaker 1: the game. Looked very smooth from the opening kickoff until

13
00:00:46,440 --> 00:00:49,599
Speaker 1: the end. He had he throw it to everybody, threw

14
00:00:49,600 --> 00:00:53,040
Speaker 1: a touchdown to CMC. He got George Kettle involved for

15
00:00:53,080 --> 00:00:56,319
Speaker 1: two touchdowns. The defense played a solid game. They gave

16
00:00:56,400 --> 00:00:58,360
Speaker 1: up four hundred and fifty two yards, passing a lot

17
00:00:58,360 --> 00:01:01,160
Speaker 1: of it in garbage time. They were up majority of

18
00:01:01,160 --> 00:01:04,760
Speaker 1: the game, but Diamador Lenore had an interception. Uh Malik

19
00:01:04,880 --> 00:01:08,880
Speaker 1: Mustafa had had an interception and those are much needed,

20
00:01:09,120 --> 00:01:11,320
Speaker 1: much needed for a defense that has not been able

21
00:01:11,360 --> 00:01:13,720
Speaker 1: to get their hands on very many passes this season.

22
00:01:14,120 --> 00:01:14,240
Speaker 2: Uh.

23
00:01:14,280 --> 00:01:16,440
Speaker 1: I think that's only their second and third of the season,

24
00:01:16,440 --> 00:01:20,160
Speaker 1: if I'm not mistaken. Another feel good game for this

25
00:01:20,160 --> 00:01:27,040
Speaker 1: this team going into another a really, really, really winnable

26
00:01:27,080 --> 00:01:29,400
Speaker 1: game against the Carolina Panthers, you got to be feeling

27
00:01:29,440 --> 00:01:31,680
Speaker 1: really confident. You were able to get your starting quarterback

28
00:01:31,720 --> 00:01:34,759
Speaker 1: back and get him some reps, get his feet wet.

29
00:01:35,280 --> 00:01:37,280
Speaker 1: You could. You could feel the energy in the in

30
00:01:37,360 --> 00:01:39,680
Speaker 1: the stadium. I mean, what do they call this? I mean,

31
00:01:40,720 --> 00:01:44,760
Speaker 1: it's not Levi South, but it's it's it's Levi's Southeast.

32
00:01:44,800 --> 00:01:49,600
Speaker 1: I guess. Uh, but but this is another another great

33
00:01:49,640 --> 00:01:52,920
Speaker 1: game by the by the San Francisco for Niners. You

34
00:01:52,960 --> 00:01:57,480
Speaker 1: feel good. They're they're seven and four now with another

35
00:01:57,520 --> 00:01:59,760
Speaker 1: winnable game right in front of them. I guesst that

36
00:02:00,280 --> 00:02:03,200
Speaker 1: the Carolina Panthers. And then you got a tough game

37
00:02:03,240 --> 00:02:05,240
Speaker 1: against the Browns, and I know you want to say

38
00:02:05,280 --> 00:02:08,880
Speaker 1: that's an easily winnable game, but anytime you got Miles

39
00:02:08,880 --> 00:02:11,560
Speaker 1: Garrett out there wrecking games like he has against every

40
00:02:11,600 --> 00:02:13,520
Speaker 1: opponent that he's been I think he had four or

41
00:02:13,520 --> 00:02:16,480
Speaker 1: five sacks today, you got to be cautious of those games,

42
00:02:16,480 --> 00:02:21,160
Speaker 1: but a huge performance by the special teams as well.

43
00:02:21,560 --> 00:02:24,359
Speaker 1: You got you gotta. I mean, after what's been going

44
00:02:24,360 --> 00:02:27,720
Speaker 1: on in San Francisco the last few years with special teams,

45
00:02:27,960 --> 00:02:31,160
Speaker 1: what Eddie Panero has been doing, and I know faithful

46
00:02:31,320 --> 00:02:37,640
Speaker 1: he missed a number of pats today and that's you feel,

47
00:02:37,639 --> 00:02:40,519
Speaker 1: that's unacceptable, but it's it's fine, it's fine. It didn't

48
00:02:40,600 --> 00:02:43,160
Speaker 1: end up affecting anything, and he made the field goals

49
00:02:43,160 --> 00:02:46,280
Speaker 1: that matter. He missed the long sixty two yarder, then

50
00:02:46,560 --> 00:02:48,360
Speaker 1: there was a penalty that brought it back and he

51
00:02:48,400 --> 00:02:51,200
Speaker 1: was able to make the next kick. It's great to

52
00:02:51,200 --> 00:02:53,560
Speaker 1: see our special teams playing as well as they are.

53
00:02:54,880 --> 00:02:59,080
Speaker 1: I think. Another another aspect of it that's been really

54
00:02:59,120 --> 00:03:02,520
Speaker 1: greatly improved is the kick return game. Sky Moore opens

55
00:03:02,520 --> 00:03:05,919
Speaker 1: this game with a ninety eight yard kickoff return. Huge

56
00:03:05,960 --> 00:03:08,880
Speaker 1: play to settle this team down, to have them confident.

57
00:03:10,320 --> 00:03:12,119
Speaker 1: All Brod Purdy had to do was turn the ball,

58
00:03:12,240 --> 00:03:14,359
Speaker 1: turn around and hand the ball off to Christian McCaffrey

59
00:03:14,360 --> 00:03:19,480
Speaker 1: for the first touchdown of the game. Great. The concerning

60
00:03:19,560 --> 00:03:24,919
Speaker 1: things about this game, no sacks for the defense the

61
00:03:25,080 --> 00:03:29,040
Speaker 1: entire game. There was some pressure on Jacoby Brissett, but

62
00:03:29,080 --> 00:03:30,959
Speaker 1: He was forty seven to fifty seven for four to

63
00:03:31,040 --> 00:03:33,919
Speaker 1: fifty two, two touchdowns and the two interceptions we talked about.

64
00:03:34,480 --> 00:03:39,200
Speaker 1: They were able to force another fumble that was recovered

65
00:03:39,200 --> 00:03:45,160
Speaker 1: by Keon White. But I just who they gotta find

66
00:03:45,160 --> 00:03:47,520
Speaker 1: some pass rush. I mean, the trade deadline has passed,

67
00:03:47,520 --> 00:03:49,400
Speaker 1: so you're not gonna be able to look for any

68
00:03:49,400 --> 00:03:52,760
Speaker 1: talent that way. They're gonna have to get healthier, obviously,

69
00:03:52,840 --> 00:03:55,440
Speaker 1: but you gotta find some pass rush somewhere. It's not

70
00:03:55,480 --> 00:03:58,280
Speaker 1: sustainable to play like this. And you can see, as

71
00:03:58,600 --> 00:04:02,320
Speaker 1: Jakobe Rissett's numbers indicate, if you do not get pressure

72
00:04:02,360 --> 00:04:05,640
Speaker 1: on the quarterback, they're going to be very effective. Even

73
00:04:05,640 --> 00:04:07,880
Speaker 1: if it's a backup quarterback in the National Football League

74
00:04:07,880 --> 00:04:11,880
Speaker 1: that can be really effective. And Michael Wilson had the

75
00:04:11,920 --> 00:04:14,080
Speaker 1: game of his life fifteen catches for one hundred and

76
00:04:14,120 --> 00:04:18,720
Speaker 1: eighty five yards. Fantastic game for him. Trey McBride ten

77
00:04:18,800 --> 00:04:21,679
Speaker 1: for one fifteen. Those are the things that you worry

78
00:04:21,720 --> 00:04:25,760
Speaker 1: about that that you are cautionary tales against this team,

79
00:04:26,400 --> 00:04:29,040
Speaker 1: But there were a lot of positives for this young

80
00:04:29,160 --> 00:04:33,839
Speaker 1: San Francisco forty nine ers defense. Curtis Robinson twelve total

81
00:04:33,839 --> 00:04:36,559
Speaker 1: tackles in the game, the winters ten tackles in the game,

82
00:04:38,960 --> 00:04:42,800
Speaker 1: Nick Martin seven tackles in the game, and obviously Diamadoor

83
00:04:42,880 --> 00:04:45,800
Speaker 1: Leonore with the two interceptions. I thought it was a

84
00:04:45,839 --> 00:04:48,760
Speaker 1: solid game for them, and I look forward to seeing

85
00:04:48,800 --> 00:04:51,120
Speaker 1: what they are after heading into the by. You know,

86
00:04:51,200 --> 00:04:53,760
Speaker 1: they have two more games before the bye. If they

87
00:04:53,800 --> 00:04:56,920
Speaker 1: can find a way to get these two games going

88
00:04:56,960 --> 00:05:00,800
Speaker 1: to the by nine and four, I don't Niners fans

89
00:05:00,839 --> 00:05:02,800
Speaker 1: can be mad about that at all. I think they

90
00:05:02,880 --> 00:05:05,680
Speaker 1: feel really really good about that. I think they would

91
00:05:05,880 --> 00:05:08,800
Speaker 1: the team would feel confident. I think Kyle Shanahan, if

92
00:05:08,800 --> 00:05:14,160
Speaker 1: it wasn't for for Shane Sichin and Mike Rabel and

93
00:05:14,200 --> 00:05:17,760
Speaker 1: the seasons their two teams are having unexpectedly, he'd be

94
00:05:17,880 --> 00:05:19,680
Speaker 1: up for Coach of the Year. But they're definitely gonna

95
00:05:19,680 --> 00:05:22,640
Speaker 1: give it to those guys because they're playing fantastic, They're

96
00:05:22,680 --> 00:05:25,159
Speaker 1: coaching their butts off, and their teams are doing incredibly

97
00:05:25,240 --> 00:05:37,400
Speaker 1: well as well. Hmm. Now for the Seattle Seahawks, Oh,

98
00:05:37,600 --> 00:05:43,880
Speaker 1: the Seattle Seahawks. What a day. What a day. Everything

99
00:05:43,960 --> 00:05:47,799
Speaker 1: that could go wrong offensively went wrong. Everything that could

100
00:05:47,839 --> 00:05:51,599
Speaker 1: go wrong for Sam Darnold in this game went wrong.

101
00:05:52,680 --> 00:05:57,080
Speaker 1: They're playing against a division rival for the division lead.

102
00:05:57,920 --> 00:06:01,039
Speaker 1: They play as bad as they can play offensive and

103
00:06:01,080 --> 00:06:05,000
Speaker 1: they lose by two points. I know you don't like

104
00:06:05,040 --> 00:06:10,120
Speaker 1: to hear silver linings and all that, but I know

105
00:06:10,240 --> 00:06:14,000
Speaker 1: this defense and Mike McDonald after they made their adjustments,

106
00:06:14,040 --> 00:06:16,880
Speaker 1: they had some tough drives. I mean they stopped them

107
00:06:16,920 --> 00:06:19,359
Speaker 1: on the first drive of the game, fourth fourth down,

108
00:06:20,120 --> 00:06:23,839
Speaker 1: goal line stand and then Sam Donald turns the ball over,

109
00:06:24,480 --> 00:06:27,520
Speaker 1: they get it back inside the five and they go score.

110
00:06:28,720 --> 00:06:31,240
Speaker 1: I don't put that on the defense. It's a tough game.

111
00:06:31,279 --> 00:06:33,480
Speaker 1: It's what are you expecting them to do? They just

112
00:06:33,520 --> 00:06:37,000
Speaker 1: made a stop and even then it took to fourth

113
00:06:37,040 --> 00:06:40,279
Speaker 1: down again for the Rams to get in. That's not

114
00:06:40,360 --> 00:06:42,839
Speaker 1: a way you're gonna live and die in this league.

115
00:06:42,880 --> 00:06:45,640
Speaker 1: You're not gonna You're not gonna have success trying to

116
00:06:45,680 --> 00:06:49,960
Speaker 1: live that way continually. They had another good drive against

117
00:06:49,960 --> 00:06:53,560
Speaker 1: the defense later in the game, but the four interceptions

118
00:06:53,600 --> 00:06:56,680
Speaker 1: are what allowed the Rams to be in the position

119
00:06:56,720 --> 00:06:58,719
Speaker 1: they were in for the most part in this game.

120
00:06:59,480 --> 00:07:03,799
Speaker 1: I thought that defense played outstanding. Huge play by Kobe

121
00:07:03,800 --> 00:07:07,599
Speaker 1: Bryant after a Sam Darneld interception that really was able

122
00:07:07,640 --> 00:07:11,320
Speaker 1: to somewhat quell the momentum for this team, this Rams team,

123
00:07:11,760 --> 00:07:15,960
Speaker 1: but I think this is still confidence boost for the

124
00:07:15,960 --> 00:07:19,240
Speaker 1: Seattle Seahawks and kudos to the Rams. The Rams won

125
00:07:19,280 --> 00:07:22,720
Speaker 1: this game. They did good enough offensively, they made the

126
00:07:22,720 --> 00:07:25,800
Speaker 1: players that were there. Polkan Nicool played a fantastic game,

127
00:07:25,880 --> 00:07:29,480
Speaker 1: had a lot of yak in this game. Sam Donald

128
00:07:29,760 --> 00:07:34,800
Speaker 1: Stilled threw for two seventy nine and had a great

129
00:07:34,880 --> 00:07:37,240
Speaker 1: drive when they needed it to get the first one

130
00:07:37,280 --> 00:07:39,960
Speaker 1: and only touchdown of the game, and then tried to

131
00:07:39,960 --> 00:07:44,120
Speaker 1: get them in position after a great punt by the

132
00:07:44,200 --> 00:07:47,760
Speaker 1: Rams punter to pin them inside the one yard line.

133
00:07:48,560 --> 00:07:50,560
Speaker 1: It would have been a tall task for them to drive,

134
00:07:50,680 --> 00:07:54,679
Speaker 1: but they did their best. Kenneth Walker had a salad

135
00:07:54,760 --> 00:07:58,040
Speaker 1: game running the football. That the concerning part, again same

136
00:07:58,120 --> 00:08:00,000
Speaker 1: as it was for the San Francisco forty nine ers,

137
00:08:00,200 --> 00:08:06,160
Speaker 1: is with this elite pass rush and defensive line of

138
00:08:06,240 --> 00:08:10,560
Speaker 1: the Seattle Seahawks, they were unable to generate one sack

139
00:08:10,640 --> 00:08:13,720
Speaker 1: in this game. They were able to generate a turnover

140
00:08:14,480 --> 00:08:18,920
Speaker 1: and honestly, Keith Matt stafford in check most of the game.

141
00:08:18,960 --> 00:08:21,120
Speaker 1: He was fifteen to twenty eight for one hundred and

142
00:08:21,120 --> 00:08:24,920
Speaker 1: thirty yards and two touchdowns. Kyron Williams was able to

143
00:08:25,000 --> 00:08:27,080
Speaker 1: run the ball twelve carries for ninety one yards in

144
00:08:27,160 --> 00:08:31,120
Speaker 1: the touchdown. That was the issue throughout this game. Poka

145
00:08:31,200 --> 00:08:34,199
Speaker 1: Nicole had had a couple ended rounds that he was

146
00:08:34,240 --> 00:08:37,040
Speaker 1: able to get some yards drawn. But I think for

147
00:08:37,080 --> 00:08:38,840
Speaker 1: the most part, they did a good job holding the

148
00:08:38,880 --> 00:08:43,720
Speaker 1: receivers in check making stops. In the second half, they

149
00:08:43,760 --> 00:08:47,439
Speaker 1: played a really great game. But those four interceptions are

150
00:08:47,440 --> 00:08:51,800
Speaker 1: tough to overcome for anybody. Cameron Kitchens had two, Darius

151
00:08:51,800 --> 00:08:56,120
Speaker 1: Williams had one, that Kobe Durant had another, and you

152
00:08:56,320 --> 00:08:59,640
Speaker 1: just it's tough anytime you lose the turnover battle and

153
00:08:59,679 --> 00:09:02,920
Speaker 1: that and that drastic of a way is gonna be

154
00:09:02,960 --> 00:09:04,720
Speaker 1: tough to win that game, and you don't get enough

155
00:09:04,800 --> 00:09:09,680
Speaker 1: turnovers yourself. But all that being said, the Seattle defense

156
00:09:09,800 --> 00:09:13,320
Speaker 1: showed that they're a championship caliber defense, that they can

157
00:09:13,360 --> 00:09:15,880
Speaker 1: make stops, get stops on third down. You're not gonna

158
00:09:15,920 --> 00:09:17,839
Speaker 1: have a situation where everybody's gonna be going for it

159
00:09:17,920 --> 00:09:20,800
Speaker 1: on fourth down the way Sean McVay did today, and

160
00:09:21,480 --> 00:09:25,200
Speaker 1: usually when they do, your offense is gonna punish them.

161
00:09:26,400 --> 00:09:29,480
Speaker 1: They weren't able to today. JSN with another one hundred

162
00:09:29,520 --> 00:09:35,199
Speaker 1: yard game to continue his streak of fantastic play this season.

163
00:09:37,040 --> 00:09:41,120
Speaker 1: It's fine, stay calm, Seahawks fans. It's gonna be okay.

164
00:09:41,440 --> 00:09:45,120
Speaker 1: It's gonna be okay. This team is still I'm just

165
00:09:45,160 --> 00:09:47,200
Speaker 1: as confident in this team as I was before this

166
00:09:47,320 --> 00:09:50,440
Speaker 1: game started, and maybe even a little more so because

167
00:09:50,480 --> 00:09:55,360
Speaker 1: I know they can overcome adversity. This is a road

168
00:09:55,440 --> 00:09:59,640
Speaker 1: game against a really tough opponent, and you turn the

169
00:09:59,679 --> 00:10:01,760
Speaker 1: ball four times. If you don't turn the ball over

170
00:10:01,800 --> 00:10:04,319
Speaker 1: four times, I think the Seahawks easily win this game.

171
00:10:04,520 --> 00:10:06,240
Speaker 1: But they did turn it over four times, and it

172
00:10:06,280 --> 00:10:09,760
Speaker 1: was forced turnovers. The Rams executed the Seahawks offense did not,

173
00:10:09,880 --> 00:10:14,600
Speaker 1: so give them credit. But the Seahawks still went and

174
00:10:14,679 --> 00:10:17,800
Speaker 1: had a chance to win this game. I'llbe it on

175
00:10:17,880 --> 00:10:22,240
Speaker 1: the very long field goal. So take some solace in that,

176
00:10:22,280 --> 00:10:25,679
Speaker 1: Seahawks fans, this team can compete with anybody. And I

177
00:10:25,760 --> 00:10:28,120
Speaker 1: felt that way before the game. I still feel that

178
00:10:28,200 --> 00:10:30,440
Speaker 1: way after the game. I'm sure there's some plays they

179
00:10:30,440 --> 00:10:32,800
Speaker 1: want back. I'm sure there's some plays Mike mc donald

180
00:10:32,800 --> 00:10:36,160
Speaker 1: once back that for this defense. But to hold Matthew Stafford,

181
00:10:36,200 --> 00:10:41,000
Speaker 1: who came into the game as the leading candidate in

182
00:10:41,080 --> 00:10:43,920
Speaker 1: betting odds for MVP of the league. To hold him

183
00:10:44,000 --> 00:10:46,480
Speaker 1: to one hundred and thirty yards and two touchdowns is

184
00:10:46,520 --> 00:10:51,480
Speaker 1: a great performance. And Sam Donald isn't gonna play that bad.

185
00:10:51,920 --> 00:10:53,760
Speaker 1: I don't think ever again. I think he'll learn from

186
00:10:53,760 --> 00:10:56,400
Speaker 1: these mistakes. And I know Minnesota Vikings fans are like,

187
00:10:56,600 --> 00:10:58,679
Speaker 1: oh man, this see, this is why we let him go.

188
00:11:00,040 --> 00:11:03,440
Speaker 1: Please just shut up, Please, please just shut up. You

189
00:11:03,480 --> 00:11:05,800
Speaker 1: guys have no room to talk, no room to speak.

190
00:11:05,800 --> 00:11:08,520
Speaker 1: You're four and six with the Green Bay Packers coming

191
00:11:08,559 --> 00:11:10,439
Speaker 1: to town. You got to go play the Green Bay Packers,

192
00:11:10,679 --> 00:11:12,560
Speaker 1: and you're likely going to be four and seven. So

193
00:11:13,280 --> 00:11:16,000
Speaker 1: I hear all this about oh man, he played such

194
00:11:16,000 --> 00:11:18,640
Speaker 1: a great season for us last year only to play

195
00:11:18,720 --> 00:11:23,160
Speaker 1: terrible in the playoffs. You're saying that as though you

196
00:11:23,280 --> 00:11:26,240
Speaker 1: have improved in some respect. Now you're in a position

197
00:11:26,280 --> 00:11:28,280
Speaker 1: where you won't make the playoffs. So I guess you

198
00:11:28,280 --> 00:11:31,000
Speaker 1: won't have to deal with the quarterback potentially not playing

199
00:11:31,000 --> 00:11:32,560
Speaker 1: well in the playoffs because you won't be there. So

200
00:11:32,720 --> 00:11:36,040
Speaker 1: is that a better solution Minnesota Vikings fans? I highly

201
00:11:36,080 --> 00:11:38,199
Speaker 1: doubt it, So please just stay out of it. Right now,

202
00:11:38,280 --> 00:11:40,559
Speaker 1: you should have your team should have kept Sam Donald

203
00:11:40,880 --> 00:11:42,960
Speaker 1: in the story. It would have been better for both sides.

204
00:11:43,120 --> 00:11:46,360
Speaker 1: Sam Donald has continued to thrive, had a really rough outing,

205
00:11:46,440 --> 00:11:49,560
Speaker 1: bad outing this week, and will be criticized as such.

206
00:11:50,559 --> 00:11:52,719
Speaker 1: I'm sure he'll take he'll he'll take his share of

207
00:11:52,760 --> 00:11:55,200
Speaker 1: the blame. He'll understand that, he'll stand up to the

208
00:11:55,240 --> 00:11:58,640
Speaker 1: ponium and take his responsibility for those interceptions because they

209
00:11:58,640 --> 00:12:03,080
Speaker 1: were horrid intersect. I mean, it wasn't tip balls or anything,

210
00:12:03,160 --> 00:12:05,839
Speaker 1: just bad decision after bad decision after bad decision, and

211
00:12:05,920 --> 00:12:10,640
Speaker 1: he had all a bad, no good, very bad day

212
00:12:11,000 --> 00:12:14,040
Speaker 1: that he wants back, and his team still lost by two.

213
00:12:15,480 --> 00:12:17,720
Speaker 1: I think the Seattle Seahawks are so happy that they

214
00:12:17,720 --> 00:12:20,280
Speaker 1: have Sam Darnold at quarterback. I think they feel really

215
00:12:20,320 --> 00:12:23,040
Speaker 1: good about this team, as they should. Today's show is

216

238
00:13:47,520 --> 00:13:52,400
Speaker 1: The next game we're gonna talk about is the Buffalo

239
00:13:52,440 --> 00:13:58,440
Speaker 1: Bills versus the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. Baker Mayfield has been

240
00:13:58,480 --> 00:14:02,080
Speaker 1: having a really good season as well. Struggled a little

241
00:14:02,080 --> 00:14:04,480
Speaker 1: bit in his game sixteen to twenty eight seventy three,

242
00:14:04,720 --> 00:14:07,960
Speaker 1: the touchdown in the one interception. They did run the

243
00:14:08,000 --> 00:14:11,640
Speaker 1: ball pretty well. Uh. In this game, which which which

244
00:14:12,280 --> 00:14:14,400
Speaker 1: it was a back and forth game. The score doesn't

245
00:14:14,400 --> 00:14:18,480
Speaker 1: indicate how close it was early on, but they they

246
00:14:18,480 --> 00:14:23,000
Speaker 1: were battling throughout this game. And Sean Tucker had had

247
00:14:23,000 --> 00:14:26,240
Speaker 1: a had a nice, nice game nineteen carries for one

248
00:14:26,280 --> 00:14:29,720
Speaker 1: oh six and the two touchdowns. Also had a receiving touchdown. Uh.

249
00:14:29,760 --> 00:14:33,240
Speaker 1: Sterling Shepard had five four catch for fifty four yards.

250
00:14:33,240 --> 00:14:39,080
Speaker 1: But again, this receiving corps, it's banged up. The running

251
00:14:39,080 --> 00:14:43,920
Speaker 1: backs are banged up. You're missing Bucky Irving and obviously

252
00:14:43,960 --> 00:14:46,800
Speaker 1: Mike Mike Evans is out for the season. Chris Godwin

253
00:14:46,920 --> 00:14:51,280
Speaker 1: was out this game, so Emmanuel I mean uh A.

254
00:14:51,360 --> 00:14:54,800
Speaker 1: Mecca Buca was held to five for forty yards. Again,

255
00:14:54,880 --> 00:14:58,840
Speaker 1: still just a rookie receiver and having a fantastic season.

256
00:14:58,920 --> 00:15:03,560
Speaker 1: But you're gonna have games like this. It's the defense

257
00:15:03,800 --> 00:15:06,520
Speaker 1: for the Tampa Bay Buccaneers that's the biggest concern giving

258
00:15:06,600 --> 00:15:08,520
Speaker 1: him forty four yards to the Buffalo Bills. Not that

259
00:15:08,600 --> 00:15:10,960
Speaker 1: the Buffalo Bills aren't a good team, but we've seen

260
00:15:11,000 --> 00:15:13,760
Speaker 1: them be held in checked before. We saw them get

261
00:15:13,800 --> 00:15:17,160
Speaker 1: held in check. Just last week against the Miami Dolphins,

262
00:15:17,160 --> 00:15:19,400
Speaker 1: they were held to thirteen points. So a team that

263
00:15:19,480 --> 00:15:22,440
Speaker 1: got held to thirteen points the week before against the

264
00:15:22,480 --> 00:15:26,320
Speaker 1: Miami's Dolphins defense that has been that has been relatively

265
00:15:26,400 --> 00:15:30,280
Speaker 1: benign to go to the Buffalo I mean the Tampa

266
00:15:30,280 --> 00:15:34,600
Speaker 1: Bay Buccaneers, who have been considered contenders for a lot

267
00:15:34,600 --> 00:15:37,960
Speaker 1: of this season, and for them to give up forty

268
00:15:37,960 --> 00:15:41,360
Speaker 1: four points, I'm sure Todd Bowles is incredibly concerned and

269
00:15:41,400 --> 00:15:45,760
Speaker 1: frustrated with that game. Josh Allen had an MVP type

270
00:15:45,760 --> 00:15:50,040
Speaker 1: performance nineteen for thirty for three seventeen, three touchdowns passing.

271
00:15:50,040 --> 00:15:52,640
Speaker 1: He did throw two interceptions, but he also had three

272
00:15:52,720 --> 00:15:55,280
Speaker 1: touchdowns on the game, which ended up being a big

273
00:15:55,320 --> 00:15:58,880
Speaker 1: difference in this game. I think he's only his second

274
00:15:58,960 --> 00:16:01,440
Speaker 1: quarterback to do it. Not I forget who the other

275
00:16:01,520 --> 00:16:06,800
Speaker 1: quarterback is. To have three passing touchdowns and three rushing touchdowns.

276
00:16:06,920 --> 00:16:08,280
Speaker 1: I want to say it was a fits Magic, but

277
00:16:08,280 --> 00:16:09,920
Speaker 1: I don't want to give Fitzmagic that kind of credit.

278
00:16:10,000 --> 00:16:13,480
Speaker 1: But I think it was Fitzmagico. We can't get fitzsmatched

279
00:16:13,520 --> 00:16:17,920
Speaker 1: that kind of credit. But again, those are the things

280
00:16:17,960 --> 00:16:21,320
Speaker 1: that you can't have if you're a Tampa Bay team

281
00:16:21,360 --> 00:16:23,320
Speaker 1: that wants to compete for the Super Bowl this year.

282
00:16:24,440 --> 00:16:28,640
Speaker 1: But again they're banged up offensively, they're doing the best

283
00:16:28,640 --> 00:16:32,120
Speaker 1: they can. They gotta find a way defensively to get

284
00:16:32,160 --> 00:16:35,280
Speaker 1: more pressure on Josh Allen to keep points off the

285
00:16:35,280 --> 00:16:37,280
Speaker 1: board more than anything. You can't give up forty four

286
00:16:37,280 --> 00:16:40,400
Speaker 1: points and expect to be a contender in this league, unfortunately.

287
00:16:40,960 --> 00:16:44,120
Speaker 1: But the Buffalo Bills have a big rebound game and

288
00:16:44,240 --> 00:16:46,480
Speaker 1: Josh Allen look like an MVP in his game, carried

289
00:16:46,520 --> 00:16:50,640
Speaker 1: his team on his back. James Cook sixteen carries forty

290
00:16:50,640 --> 00:16:54,520
Speaker 1: eight yards, also receiving touchdown sixty six yards through the air.

291
00:16:55,920 --> 00:16:58,880
Speaker 1: Shavers had four receptions for ninety yards. They were without

292
00:16:59,040 --> 00:17:05,640
Speaker 1: Kean Coleman for I guess undisclosed reason. I mean, there's

293
00:17:05,680 --> 00:17:10,440
Speaker 1: speculation that he missed the meeting and that they set

294
00:17:10,480 --> 00:17:14,240
Speaker 1: him for that. Those are team rules. You gotta follow

295
00:17:14,280 --> 00:17:18,000
Speaker 1: the rules. So we'll see how that how that goes.

296
00:17:18,000 --> 00:17:19,520
Speaker 1: They were able to win the game, so it's not

297
00:17:19,560 --> 00:17:21,400
Speaker 1: as big of a story. If they lose that game,

298
00:17:21,440 --> 00:17:24,240
Speaker 1: it's much bigger a story. But the Bucks play the

299
00:17:24,320 --> 00:17:27,680
Speaker 1: Rams next in another tough game for them. The Bills

300
00:17:27,920 --> 00:17:30,840
Speaker 1: go to the Texans on Thursday Night Football will be

301
00:17:30,920 --> 00:17:34,280
Speaker 1: there starting our show at seven pm Eastern. We will

302
00:17:34,280 --> 00:17:36,360
Speaker 1: see you there. I can't wait to call it. I'm

303
00:17:36,400 --> 00:17:39,320
Speaker 1: doing a feature on a few Texans players, so please

304
00:17:39,600 --> 00:17:44,119
Speaker 1: check that out if y'all get a chance. But this

305
00:17:44,119 --> 00:17:47,800
Speaker 1: this Bills team. The thing I worry about most with

306
00:17:47,840 --> 00:17:49,840
Speaker 1: this Bills team is you're getting in a lot of

307
00:17:49,840 --> 00:17:52,840
Speaker 1: shootouts with great teams, and how often are you gonna

308
00:17:52,840 --> 00:17:55,880
Speaker 1: win those shootouts? Can you keep winning shootout after shootout

309
00:17:55,920 --> 00:17:59,600
Speaker 1: after shootout? And when you can't score on offense, like

310
00:17:59,640 --> 00:18:01,280
Speaker 1: when you when when they have an off day like

311
00:18:01,280 --> 00:18:06,119
Speaker 1: they did against the Miami Dolphins, does that defense have

312
00:18:06,280 --> 00:18:08,560
Speaker 1: enough to get the stops that they need to win

313
00:18:08,600 --> 00:18:10,719
Speaker 1: those games. That's that's gonna be the question that's going

314
00:18:10,760 --> 00:18:12,680
Speaker 1: to get answered, not until the playoffs. I don't think

315
00:18:12,680 --> 00:18:14,880
Speaker 1: it gets answered until we get in those critical situations

316
00:18:14,920 --> 00:18:19,280
Speaker 1: where we're gonna see and another big game this week,

317
00:18:19,440 --> 00:18:23,399
Speaker 1: the Packers beat the Giants and what was a tougher

318
00:18:23,480 --> 00:18:25,600
Speaker 1: game than I thought it would be for the Green

319
00:18:25,680 --> 00:18:30,600
Speaker 1: Bay Packers. And how critical I've been of Jordan Love

320
00:18:30,680 --> 00:18:32,840
Speaker 1: and you know now people are like, oh what you

321
00:18:32,880 --> 00:18:38,919
Speaker 1: think of him? Against the Giants. Guys. I love the

322
00:18:38,960 --> 00:18:41,080
Speaker 1: Giants as much as anybody, and I was I was

323
00:18:41,119 --> 00:18:43,560
Speaker 1: happy to hear their story and and and see them

324
00:18:43,640 --> 00:18:49,600
Speaker 1: continue to battle with Jackson Dart at quarterback. I expected

325
00:18:49,760 --> 00:18:52,120
Speaker 1: a fun game from Jamis Winston and it was that.

326
00:18:52,320 --> 00:18:54,080
Speaker 1: It was that he didn't throw for a touchdown. But

327
00:18:54,560 --> 00:18:57,159
Speaker 1: they scored twenty points, nineteen at twenty nine and one

328
00:18:57,200 --> 00:19:01,800
Speaker 1: yards and he threw the interception on Tracy eighteen carries

329
00:19:01,800 --> 00:19:04,920
Speaker 1: for eighty eight yards. They battled, they battle, but they're

330
00:19:04,960 --> 00:19:06,679
Speaker 1: a team that has not won a lot of games

331
00:19:07,520 --> 00:19:10,840
Speaker 1: this season. They're a two win team playing against the Packers,

332
00:19:10,880 --> 00:19:16,480
Speaker 1: who most people, including myself, believe are Super Bowl contenders.

333
00:19:18,280 --> 00:19:23,640
Speaker 1: But the quarterback situation, and I know people are saying, oh, man,

334
00:19:23,640 --> 00:19:26,760
Speaker 1: did you see Jordan Love. He carried the team. I

335
00:19:26,800 --> 00:19:28,840
Speaker 1: mean thirteen to twenty four, one seventy four and two

336
00:19:28,840 --> 00:19:31,640
Speaker 1: touchdowns and I watched the game. Number of drops from

337
00:19:31,640 --> 00:19:37,720
Speaker 1: his receivers, also a couple of spectacular catches, especially the

338
00:19:38,280 --> 00:19:42,199
Speaker 1: Christian Watson catch for his belief second touchdown was a

339
00:19:42,200 --> 00:19:46,200
Speaker 1: fantastic catch over double coverage. You can't play it any

340
00:19:46,240 --> 00:19:47,960
Speaker 1: better than that, you can't catch it any better than that,

341
00:19:48,400 --> 00:19:50,399
Speaker 1: And That's when you got to give to the receiver

342
00:19:50,560 --> 00:19:52,679
Speaker 1: for making a play and Jordan you got to give

343
00:19:52,760 --> 00:19:54,960
Speaker 1: Jordan Love credit for giving him a chance with that football.

344
00:19:56,240 --> 00:20:03,080
Speaker 1: But again, it's gonna come down to this quarterback. Regardless

345
00:20:03,080 --> 00:20:05,960
Speaker 1: of how you guys feel about it, good, bad, are indifferent,

346
00:20:06,960 --> 00:20:10,440
Speaker 1: It's going to come down to that. Now. The Matt

347
00:20:10,520 --> 00:20:15,000
Speaker 1: Lafleur thing I don't like because a number of plays

348
00:20:15,000 --> 00:20:19,200
Speaker 1: were schemed wide open in this game and they executed.

349
00:20:19,600 --> 00:20:24,960
Speaker 1: Of those thirteen completions, I'd say six or seven of

350
00:20:25,000 --> 00:20:27,840
Speaker 1: them were schemed open. One of the touchdowns the tight

351
00:20:27,960 --> 00:20:31,399
Speaker 1: end was schemed wide open, wide open, Which is fine.

352
00:20:32,920 --> 00:20:34,639
Speaker 1: It's not going to always be that way. You're not

353
00:20:34,680 --> 00:20:36,879
Speaker 1: going to be playing these giants in the playoffs. The

354
00:20:36,920 --> 00:20:40,639
Speaker 1: teams you're going to play in the playoffs could be

355
00:20:40,680 --> 00:20:45,240
Speaker 1: the Detroit Lions. It could be the Philadelphia Eagles again

356
00:20:47,119 --> 00:20:51,040
Speaker 1: who just held them to seven points. It could be

357
00:20:51,040 --> 00:20:53,520
Speaker 1: the Seattle Seahawks, who I think would feel really good

358
00:20:53,600 --> 00:20:57,120
Speaker 1: playing this Green Bay Packers team. It could be the Rams.

359
00:20:57,359 --> 00:21:00,600
Speaker 1: It could be the Rams defense. And are you confident

360
00:21:00,760 --> 00:21:03,080
Speaker 1: that you could go into La and beat the Rams?

361
00:21:03,080 --> 00:21:04,720
Speaker 1: Are you confident you can go on to Seattle? And

362
00:21:04,760 --> 00:21:07,359
Speaker 1: beat the Seahawks, which Jordan Love at quarterback. And I

363
00:21:07,400 --> 00:21:09,439
Speaker 1: don't need you to answer it for me in the

364
00:21:09,480 --> 00:21:12,160
Speaker 1: comments or anything like that. Answer it for yourself because

365
00:21:12,160 --> 00:21:13,720
Speaker 1: that's all that matters. You can lie to me, but

366
00:21:13,800 --> 00:21:17,400
Speaker 1: just don't lie to yourself because I don't see it yet.

367
00:21:17,840 --> 00:21:21,000
Speaker 1: I don't see the confidence yet. I see the immense

368
00:21:21,080 --> 00:21:25,760
Speaker 1: talent that's not hard to see. Min's talent. Can throw them,

369
00:21:25,800 --> 00:21:28,520
Speaker 1: put the ball anywhere on the field, can can can

370
00:21:28,600 --> 00:21:31,119
Speaker 1: move around with the best of them, really athletic great

371
00:21:31,119 --> 00:21:36,959
Speaker 1: on Can he execute down the stretch in critical games

372
00:21:37,320 --> 00:21:40,560
Speaker 1: when the game is on the line. I have not

373
00:21:40,640 --> 00:21:42,440
Speaker 1: seen it in the playoffs. I saw it in one

374
00:21:42,480 --> 00:21:45,280
Speaker 1: playoff game. I think it was against Dallas, and everybody

375
00:21:45,320 --> 00:21:47,679
Speaker 1: knows Dallas's reputation in the playoffs, but I have yet

376
00:21:47,760 --> 00:21:51,400
Speaker 1: to see it against anybody else. So until we can

377
00:21:51,440 --> 00:21:54,600
Speaker 1: see that, the jury's out, I'm sorry. They gave him

378
00:21:54,640 --> 00:21:56,359
Speaker 1: a lot of money and they have not seen it.

379
00:21:56,400 --> 00:22:00,280
Speaker 1: And I hear everybody talking about Sam Darnold go to

380
00:22:00,320 --> 00:22:03,359
Speaker 1: the playoffs. He did all that. I watched Jordan Love

381
00:22:03,400 --> 00:22:06,040
Speaker 1: struggle in the playoffs last year when this team got

382
00:22:06,040 --> 00:22:11,360
Speaker 1: there against the eventual Super Bowl champion Philadelphia Eagles. Three

383
00:22:11,400 --> 00:22:15,800
Speaker 1: interceptions in that game, no touchdowns. He was an uber

384
00:22:15,800 --> 00:22:18,480
Speaker 1: conservative in his last game against him. He didn't throw

385
00:22:18,480 --> 00:22:22,480
Speaker 1: any interceptions, didn't throw any touchdowns. You're gonna have to

386
00:22:22,480 --> 00:22:24,320
Speaker 1: find a middle ground there. You're gonna have to find

387
00:22:24,320 --> 00:22:27,040
Speaker 1: a way to execute without turning the football over and

388
00:22:27,320 --> 00:22:30,560
Speaker 1: score points. That's gonna be the question, that's gonna be

389
00:22:30,560 --> 00:22:35,040
Speaker 1: the thing for Laflord. This was a good game for

390
00:22:35,119 --> 00:22:40,040
Speaker 1: the Packers. They played a Minnesota Vikings next game, a

391
00:22:40,119 --> 00:22:43,280
Speaker 1: game against a defense that had been up and down

392
00:22:43,359 --> 00:22:45,960
Speaker 1: this season. But Brian Flores is definitely gonna bring pressure

393
00:22:46,560 --> 00:22:50,360
Speaker 1: a division game. It'll be back and forth. They got

394
00:22:50,359 --> 00:22:53,280
Speaker 1: a young quarterback who's been hot and coldy turned them

395
00:22:53,280 --> 00:22:55,880
Speaker 1: ball over two times in this game against the Chicago

396
00:22:55,920 --> 00:22:59,720
Speaker 1: Bears this week. Played well in the fourth played well

397
00:22:59,800 --> 00:23:02,920
Speaker 1: in the fourth quarter, was able to help them come

398
00:23:02,960 --> 00:23:05,760
Speaker 1: back in this game, but still seventeen points not enough

399
00:23:05,800 --> 00:23:08,800
Speaker 1: to beat the Chicago Bears. So I think they should

400
00:23:08,800 --> 00:23:11,080
Speaker 1: feel good about the next couple of games. I think

401
00:23:11,119 --> 00:23:14,840
Speaker 1: they beat the Vikings in this game, but it's a

402
00:23:14,840 --> 00:23:17,320
Speaker 1: division game, and you know how those go. We've seen

403
00:23:17,359 --> 00:23:21,800
Speaker 1: them countless times. We saw weird upsets in division games

404
00:23:21,840 --> 00:23:24,280
Speaker 1: throughout this season, and I think that'll continue to be

405
00:23:24,359 --> 00:23:26,680
Speaker 1: the case. But I still feel like the Green Bay

406
00:23:26,680 --> 00:23:30,200
Speaker 1: Packers will be able to win against the Minnesota Vikings

407
00:23:32,240 --> 00:23:35,360
Speaker 1: when we get to see Jordan Love in the playoffs,

408
00:23:35,440 --> 00:23:37,879
Speaker 1: and if he executes well, he will get all the

409
00:23:37,920 --> 00:23:42,280
Speaker 1: credit in the world. That's what it'll be. I'm sorry,

410
00:23:42,280 --> 00:23:44,240
Speaker 1: Green Bay fans, that's what it's gonna be. That's what

411
00:23:44,280 --> 00:23:47,359
Speaker 1: it's gonna have to be. And until then, the jury

412
00:23:47,400 --> 00:23:50,080
Speaker 1: will be out. The jury's not out for you, guys,

413
00:23:50,119 --> 00:23:52,960
Speaker 1: because your franchise paid in fifty five million dollars. You

414
00:23:53,040 --> 00:23:54,800
Speaker 1: gotta feel good about it. And you don't have a choice.

415
00:23:55,000 --> 00:23:59,160
Speaker 1: You're locked in for a while. I, on the other hand,

416
00:23:59,160 --> 00:24:01,639
Speaker 1: have a choice. I'm going to get to watch and see.

417
00:24:01,680 --> 00:24:05,760
Speaker 1: And everybody's wondering, why aren't you giving Sam Donald the

418
00:24:05,760 --> 00:24:12,639
Speaker 1: same criticism, because with great pay comes great criticism. Sam

419
00:24:12,720 --> 00:24:17,920
Speaker 1: Donald making I think thirty seven million dollars playing at

420
00:24:17,960 --> 00:24:21,600
Speaker 1: thirty seven million dollars, he has seventeen touchdown passes, ten interceptions.

421
00:24:21,960 --> 00:24:26,040
Speaker 1: His team is seven and three. I think they feel

422
00:24:26,080 --> 00:24:28,399
Speaker 1: really good about what they got. If he was playing,

423
00:24:28,600 --> 00:24:30,840
Speaker 1: if it was getting paid fifty five million, which is

424
00:24:30,880 --> 00:24:33,480
Speaker 1: in the top two of the National Football League. I

425
00:24:33,480 --> 00:24:38,840
Speaker 1: would expect top two level play from Sam Donald. That's

426
00:24:38,880 --> 00:24:41,040
Speaker 1: just how it is in my book. Maybe my book's

427
00:24:41,080 --> 00:24:43,600
Speaker 1: not perfect, but that's where I feel about it. The

428
00:24:44,520 --> 00:24:48,359
Speaker 1: next game in the AC North the Bears and the Vikings.

429
00:24:49,240 --> 00:24:51,639
Speaker 1: The Bears have won seven of their last eight games.

430
00:24:53,400 --> 00:24:55,840
Speaker 1: I'm sure Ben Johnson is feeling great. You could see

431
00:24:55,880 --> 00:24:58,120
Speaker 1: Caleb Williams after the game, did not feel good about

432
00:24:58,119 --> 00:25:00,600
Speaker 1: his performance and no emotion after the game w Field Gold.

433
00:25:00,720 --> 00:25:02,280
Speaker 1: I don't think he felt like it should come down

434
00:25:02,320 --> 00:25:05,840
Speaker 1: to that. But they're learning to win and they're building

435
00:25:05,880 --> 00:25:09,880
Speaker 1: winning habits. DeAndre Swift had had a good game twenty

436
00:25:09,920 --> 00:25:13,880
Speaker 1: one carries for ninety yards, Cole Commit five carries for

437
00:25:13,880 --> 00:25:16,679
Speaker 1: forty five I mean five catches for forty five yards.

438
00:25:17,000 --> 00:25:24,040
Speaker 1: And on the other side, Jj McCarthy sixteen for thirty two,

439
00:25:23,800 --> 00:25:28,119
Speaker 1: one touchdown and two interceptions. Aaron Jones sixteen carries for

440
00:25:28,160 --> 00:25:30,679
Speaker 1: seventy yards. Did have a fun win a game. But

441
00:25:31,000 --> 00:25:35,600
Speaker 1: the story for the Minnesota Vikings this week is the

442
00:25:35,720 --> 00:25:42,159
Speaker 1: quarterback in Justin Jefferson For the quarterback, I said it

443
00:25:42,160 --> 00:25:43,880
Speaker 1: earlier in the show. I still feel like they should

444
00:25:43,880 --> 00:25:45,960
Speaker 1: have kept Sam Dornold. Who'll say that into the cows

445
00:25:46,000 --> 00:25:51,480
Speaker 1: come home, people say they should have kept Daniel Jones

446
00:25:51,480 --> 00:25:55,080
Speaker 1: as well. He took a little less money to go

447
00:25:55,359 --> 00:25:58,160
Speaker 1: to the Indianapolis coach for a chance to start because

448
00:25:58,440 --> 00:26:02,119
Speaker 1: he knew how they felt about jjm karthy. Were they

449
00:26:02,160 --> 00:26:04,800
Speaker 1: right about J. J. McCarthy will never know. He's still

450
00:26:04,800 --> 00:26:08,159
Speaker 1: pretty much, I mean pretty much a rookie, I mean

451
00:26:08,280 --> 00:26:14,600
Speaker 1: red shirt rookie, hasn't played a lot of football. But again,

452
00:26:14,680 --> 00:26:18,040
Speaker 1: when the expectations are so high because a team is

453
00:26:18,119 --> 00:26:21,199
Speaker 1: ready made to win, a team that just had a

454
00:26:21,200 --> 00:26:25,399
Speaker 1: fourteen and three season, the expectations are higher, So the

455
00:26:25,440 --> 00:26:28,159
Speaker 1: criticism is going to come with it. Now, you be

456
00:26:28,240 --> 00:26:31,600
Speaker 1: patient with JJ McCarthy. But again, what do we see

457
00:26:31,640 --> 00:26:33,840
Speaker 1: in college that made us think, hey, this guy is

458
00:26:33,880 --> 00:26:38,639
Speaker 1: going to be a real perennial passer in the National

459
00:26:38,640 --> 00:26:42,080
Speaker 1: Football League? Not a ton. It wasn't a lot at

460
00:26:42,080 --> 00:26:44,080
Speaker 1: Michigan that gave you the impression that he was going

461
00:26:44,119 --> 00:26:46,400
Speaker 1: to come up here and light up the National Football League.

462
00:26:46,440 --> 00:26:51,880
Speaker 1: He's playing pretty much like he did in Michigan, without

463
00:26:52,200 --> 00:26:55,800
Speaker 1: a great run game, without you know, and a defense

464
00:26:55,880 --> 00:26:57,600
Speaker 1: is trying to support him. But if they don't play

465
00:26:57,640 --> 00:27:02,439
Speaker 1: well enough, they're not winning, and so I think JJ

466
00:27:02,560 --> 00:27:05,560
Speaker 1: McCarthy is gonna have a hard time in this league

467
00:27:05,560 --> 00:27:07,879
Speaker 1: because you're not gonna find much better of a play

468
00:27:07,880 --> 00:27:11,360
Speaker 1: caller than Kevin O'Connell. You're not no matter where you are,

469
00:27:12,640 --> 00:27:15,960
Speaker 1: and you're not gonna find much better of a situation

470
00:27:16,119 --> 00:27:18,760
Speaker 1: to walk into as a rookie that gets drafted in

471
00:27:18,800 --> 00:27:22,239
Speaker 1: the first round than the Minnesota Viking you are, and

472
00:27:22,280 --> 00:27:24,400
Speaker 1: they're not gonna You got one of the best receivers

473
00:27:24,440 --> 00:27:28,800
Speaker 1: of the National Football League, a great tandem, you got

474
00:27:28,800 --> 00:27:31,040
Speaker 1: weapons around you. I think you got a good back

475
00:27:31,080 --> 00:27:33,080
Speaker 1: in the backfield. You might have to consider it two

476
00:27:33,119 --> 00:27:37,919
Speaker 1: good backs in the backfield. But when you have drives

477
00:27:37,920 --> 00:27:40,119
Speaker 1: in the second quarter with back to back interceptions, you

478
00:27:40,160 --> 00:27:41,800
Speaker 1: make it hard to win these games. And I know

479
00:27:41,880 --> 00:27:44,000
Speaker 1: he's young and we gotta give him time to grow,

480
00:27:44,359 --> 00:27:50,720
Speaker 1: but we don't have time in this league. Not fourteen

481
00:27:50,800 --> 00:27:53,120
Speaker 1: That made the decision to move on for a quarterback

482
00:27:53,160 --> 00:27:55,920
Speaker 1: that took him to a fourteen and three season. Again,

483
00:27:56,080 --> 00:27:59,000
Speaker 1: that's the kind of decision that sets a franchise back

484
00:27:59,040 --> 00:28:04,840
Speaker 1: because if he never develops into what Sam Donald was,

485
00:28:05,240 --> 00:28:08,159
Speaker 1: then then it's a waste. Then you just wasted some

486
00:28:08,240 --> 00:28:10,880
Speaker 1: of Justin Jefferson's prime. And I think that's what makes

487
00:28:10,960 --> 00:28:13,840
Speaker 1: him frustrated because he cannot see the vision right now.

488
00:28:14,359 --> 00:28:16,800
Speaker 1: He had a fantastic season last year with Sam Donald,

489
00:28:18,320 --> 00:28:20,359
Speaker 1: he could do nothing about the front office making a

490
00:28:20,359 --> 00:28:22,760
Speaker 1: decision that they made. And I know people are like, well,

491
00:28:22,800 --> 00:28:25,920
Speaker 1: Sam took a different offer for Seattle. You don't let

492
00:28:25,960 --> 00:28:29,000
Speaker 1: Sam take that offer. You franchise him and then negotiate.

493
00:28:29,280 --> 00:28:32,960
Speaker 1: He can't walk away. You franchise Tagg and he can't

494
00:28:32,960 --> 00:28:37,160
Speaker 1: walk and you can negotiate. He'll likely sign a good deal,

495
00:28:37,160 --> 00:28:38,960
Speaker 1: and then you take the franchise tag off him. It's

496
00:28:38,960 --> 00:28:45,280
Speaker 1: good to go. But when you play this game, when

497
00:28:45,320 --> 00:28:47,880
Speaker 1: you play this game and you say, hey, we're gonna

498
00:28:47,960 --> 00:28:50,160
Speaker 1: let him walk, We're gonna let Daniel Jones walk in,

499
00:28:50,440 --> 00:28:54,320
Speaker 1: the quarterback that you pick does not work out, it's

500
00:28:54,360 --> 00:28:57,480
Speaker 1: hard to find answers, like because now what do you

501
00:28:57,520 --> 00:29:00,960
Speaker 1: do this offseason? Because I don't see the Minnesota Vikings

502
00:29:00,960 --> 00:29:02,840
Speaker 1: recovering from this and going to the playoffs. I'm sorry,

503
00:29:02,920 --> 00:29:05,880
Speaker 1: unless the defense start playing at a really, really high tilt,

504
00:29:06,240 --> 00:29:08,480
Speaker 1: I don't see them turning this around and getting to

505
00:29:08,560 --> 00:29:11,880
Speaker 1: the playoffs. Because of how good that the NFC side

506
00:29:11,880 --> 00:29:14,640
Speaker 1: has been got a lot of teams playing well. You

507
00:29:14,720 --> 00:29:16,880
Speaker 1: got a lot of teams over five hundred right now,

508
00:29:17,680 --> 00:29:19,360
Speaker 1: so it would take it would it would be a

509
00:29:19,400 --> 00:29:23,240
Speaker 1: herculean task for them to chase down the team and win.

510
00:29:24,280 --> 00:29:26,480
Speaker 1: You got probably two teams in their own division going

511
00:29:26,480 --> 00:29:29,080
Speaker 1: to the playoffs and the Packers in the Detroit Lions

512
00:29:29,280 --> 00:29:32,600
Speaker 1: the Bears. The Bears in their own division got uh

513
00:29:32,880 --> 00:29:34,880
Speaker 1: we just talked about them one seven of eight. They're

514
00:29:34,880 --> 00:29:38,880
Speaker 1: seven and three, So they're at the top of the

515
00:29:38,920 --> 00:29:40,840
Speaker 1: division right now. So you're at the bottom of a

516
00:29:40,960 --> 00:29:43,480
Speaker 1: very difficult division, one of the best divisions in football,

517
00:29:44,760 --> 00:29:47,920
Speaker 1: and you have uncertainty that quarterback. That's a bad place

518
00:29:47,920 --> 00:29:50,920
Speaker 1: to be. And I know Vikings fans are like hoh

519
00:29:51,040 --> 00:29:53,560
Speaker 1: Man Sam Donald. He struggled today, He's still better than

520
00:29:53,600 --> 00:29:56,959
Speaker 1: the quarterback you have. Oh Man Sam Donald had four

521
00:29:57,000 --> 00:29:58,480
Speaker 1: in us up to see why we got rid of him. No,

522
00:29:58,560 --> 00:30:00,280
Speaker 1: I don't see it. I don't see why you rid

523
00:30:00,320 --> 00:30:02,920
Speaker 1: of them because you have no chance. You had fourteen

524
00:30:02,960 --> 00:30:05,760
Speaker 1: and three and he struggled in a playoff game. Okay,

525
00:30:06,400 --> 00:30:09,320
Speaker 1: I've watched quarterbacks struggle in playoff games. Jared Golf didn't

526
00:30:09,320 --> 00:30:10,960
Speaker 1: play a great game, and not a lot of quarterbacks

527
00:30:10,960 --> 00:30:16,040
Speaker 1: from the NFC North played well in the playoffs last year. Okay,

528
00:30:16,080 --> 00:30:17,840
Speaker 1: does that mean you're rid of them all? Let them

529
00:30:17,840 --> 00:30:22,000
Speaker 1: all walk? No, you're trying to mask your pain, and

530
00:30:22,040 --> 00:30:24,320
Speaker 1: I understand that I've been there. I've been there before.

531
00:30:24,400 --> 00:30:26,680
Speaker 1: You mask your pain a little bit, say oh look, look,

532
00:30:26,800 --> 00:30:29,520
Speaker 1: look they're struggling. Look that's why we got rid of them,

533
00:30:29,600 --> 00:30:32,280
Speaker 1: just to mask the tiers that you when you watch

534
00:30:32,320 --> 00:30:35,760
Speaker 1: your team that you have. I'm with your Minnesota Vikings fans.

535
00:30:35,880 --> 00:30:37,920
Speaker 1: I think you got a really good team. I think

536
00:30:37,960 --> 00:30:40,640
Speaker 1: the quarterback is going to be the issue, and you're

537
00:30:40,640 --> 00:30:43,360
Speaker 1: going to have to make a decision for another quarterback

538
00:30:43,400 --> 00:30:45,160
Speaker 1: next season. Is it gonna be Mac Jones? And you're

539
00:30:45,160 --> 00:30:47,320
Speaker 1: gonna have to trade picks to get Mac Jones in

540
00:30:47,360 --> 00:30:50,920
Speaker 1: that system because he's thrived in a system similar to

541
00:30:50,960 --> 00:30:53,920
Speaker 1: what Kevin O'Connell wants to do for the Minnesota Vikings.

542
00:30:54,600 --> 00:30:57,600
Speaker 1: Maybe there are a number of quarterbacks, but the fact

543
00:30:57,640 --> 00:31:00,880
Speaker 1: that that's going to be a conversation is telling you

544
00:31:01,240 --> 00:31:03,680
Speaker 1: may have been the wrong decision to let Sam Darnold

545
00:31:03,720 --> 00:31:07,040
Speaker 1: and Daniel Jones walk. That's all I'm saying. A good

546
00:31:07,080 --> 00:31:12,840
Speaker 1: game by the Chicago Bears and Caleb Williams and just

547
00:31:12,880 --> 00:31:15,680
Speaker 1: another good win. I can't keep saying good game because

548
00:31:15,680 --> 00:31:17,480
Speaker 1: it's not always a great game, but they keep finding

549
00:31:17,520 --> 00:31:19,840
Speaker 1: a way to win, and when you're winning in this league,

550
00:31:20,120 --> 00:31:22,680
Speaker 1: that's all that matters. The Bears got a tough game

551
00:31:22,720 --> 00:31:26,440
Speaker 1: against the Steelers next week. You never know what you're

552
00:31:26,440 --> 00:31:28,920
Speaker 1: getting with the Steelers team. Honestly, you know, they've been

553
00:31:28,960 --> 00:31:32,520
Speaker 1: playing really well defensively the last few weeks. They seems

554
00:31:32,520 --> 00:31:34,960
Speaker 1: like they've figured it out. Tomlin has figured out what

555
00:31:35,040 --> 00:31:36,640
Speaker 1: to do with these guys to get them motivated, to

556
00:31:36,680 --> 00:31:38,960
Speaker 1: get them where they need to be. And I'm looking

557
00:31:39,000 --> 00:31:41,280
Speaker 1: forward to the Bears against them because they've just found

558
00:31:41,280 --> 00:31:43,720
Speaker 1: a way to do good enough to win these games.

559
00:31:43,760 --> 00:31:46,560
Speaker 1: Whether it's a big time, high point shootout or a

560
00:31:46,560 --> 00:31:48,920
Speaker 1: low scoring game where you win on a walk off

561
00:31:48,920 --> 00:31:54,000
Speaker 1: field goal. They found a way. But the Vikings. Vikings

562
00:31:54,000 --> 00:31:57,160
Speaker 1: got the Green Bay Packers next week, another tough divisional game.

563
00:31:58,480 --> 00:32:01,600
Speaker 1: What are they gonna do to produce points against a

564
00:32:01,680 --> 00:32:04,120
Speaker 1: defense that's gonna bring a lot of pressure. Your offensive

565
00:32:04,120 --> 00:32:07,000
Speaker 1: line isn't great and those guys are gonna be hungry.

566
00:32:07,040 --> 00:32:09,440
Speaker 1: Michael Parsons is gonna be hungry. He needs his stats.

567
00:32:09,800 --> 00:32:13,200
Speaker 1: If Brashaun Gary's gonna be hungry. We'll see how that

568
00:32:13,240 --> 00:32:14,719
Speaker 1: game goes. I'm looking forward to it.

569
00:32:15,040 --> 00:32:17,680
Speaker 2: You know why I'm obsessed with GLD, especially this time

570
00:32:17,760 --> 00:32:20,800
Speaker 2: of year. Bi men's jewelry used to be a nightmare.

571
00:32:20,880 --> 00:32:23,000
Speaker 2: It was either chief stuff that broke in a week

572
00:32:23,400 --> 00:32:25,920
Speaker 2: or some overpriced chain that blew your whole budget.

573
00:32:26,240 --> 00:32:29,880
Speaker 1: Exactly. That's why I rock with GLD. Mitchell. They chased

574
00:32:29,880 --> 00:32:33,440
Speaker 1: the game. Real quality that's built to last without maxing

575
00:32:33,480 --> 00:32:33,920
Speaker 1: out your car.

576
00:32:34,160 --> 00:32:37,480
Speaker 2: And it's real gold too, Richard, No cheap, hollow nonsense,

577
00:32:37,720 --> 00:32:41,880
Speaker 2: every stone his handset. Look Richard, what do you think

578
00:32:41,920 --> 00:32:42,160
Speaker 2: of this?

579
00:32:42,280 --> 00:32:42,520
Speaker 1: Man?

580
00:32:42,800 --> 00:32:45,880
Speaker 2: You can feel the weight? Tell me this wouldn't be

581
00:32:45,920 --> 00:32:48,960
Speaker 2: the perfect holiday gift. Come on, man, that looks queen, Mitchell.

582
00:32:49,000 --> 00:32:51,880
Speaker 2: It looks crazy on camera, but it looks even better

583
00:32:51,920 --> 00:32:58,480
Speaker 2: in person. And gold has everything, chains, pendants, earrings, rings,

584
00:32:59,000 --> 00:33:03,000
Speaker 2: ice that watching. One stop and your whole list is done.

585
00:33:03,040 --> 00:33:05,840
Speaker 2: And Richard, you know how a new chain hits. The

586
00:33:05,840 --> 00:33:10,840
Speaker 2: fit looks better, the confidence jumps people notice. People noticed

587
00:33:10,880 --> 00:33:12,120
Speaker 2: me last night when I was wearing this.

588
00:33:12,160 --> 00:33:14,640
Speaker 1: I'll tell you that, Mitchell. They always notice you, baby,

589
00:33:15,400 --> 00:33:17,440
Speaker 1: and we not the only one saying it. They got

590

Speaker 1: And they got every price point from the eighteen care

Speaker 2: You can wear them out any any attire you want.

616
00:34:54,560 --> 00:34:57,440
Speaker 2: I love rocking these things. Check them out, guys.

617
00:34:58,239 --> 00:35:03,239
Speaker 1: Another another contending team coming into this season that is

618
00:35:03,360 --> 00:35:06,880
Speaker 1: struggling and they are in trouble right now are the

619
00:35:06,920 --> 00:35:11,840
Speaker 1: Kansas City Chiefs. The Denver Broncos found a way to

620
00:35:11,880 --> 00:35:14,560
Speaker 1: beat the Kansas City Chiefs. They won this game twenty

621
00:35:14,560 --> 00:35:19,040
Speaker 1: one to nineteen walk off field goal, and they are

622
00:35:19,080 --> 00:35:22,640
Speaker 1: now nine and two. And the Chiefs ten games into

623
00:35:22,640 --> 00:35:27,040
Speaker 1: the season, are five hundred five and five and play

624
00:35:27,200 --> 00:35:30,920
Speaker 1: and have no control over their destiny or their ability

625
00:35:30,920 --> 00:35:33,560
Speaker 1: to make the playoffs this year. They're gonna need a

626
00:35:33,600 --> 00:35:35,239
Speaker 1: lot of help from a lot of There's a lot

627
00:35:35,239 --> 00:35:39,160
Speaker 1: of different scenarios. If certain teams win, they're out. If

628
00:35:39,160 --> 00:35:42,600
Speaker 1: they need a few losses here and there, Jacksonville maybe

629
00:35:42,600 --> 00:35:47,360
Speaker 1: to lose a couple, the Chargers to keep losing. But

630
00:35:47,400 --> 00:35:50,320
Speaker 1: it's no straight path to the playoffs for the Chiefs,

631
00:35:50,760 --> 00:35:54,359
Speaker 1: and you really start to get concerned when you look

632
00:35:54,400 --> 00:35:56,920
Speaker 1: at the way they lost. You know, Patrick Mahomes was

633
00:35:57,000 --> 00:35:59,080
Speaker 1: under the rest a lot of this game just does

634
00:35:59,120 --> 00:36:04,920
Speaker 1: not look comfortable defensively. We watched the Broncos and bo

635
00:36:05,080 --> 00:36:09,360
Speaker 1: Nicks struggle royally against the Las Vegas Raiders on Thursday

636
00:36:09,440 --> 00:36:12,880
Speaker 1: Night Football, and today he throws for two ninety five

637
00:36:13,480 --> 00:36:16,520
Speaker 1: he throws for two hundred ninety five yards, And those

638
00:36:16,520 --> 00:36:19,239
Speaker 1: are the things that you're you're You're like, okay, you

639
00:36:19,280 --> 00:36:22,160
Speaker 1: know you it can go in either way in a division,

640
00:36:22,640 --> 00:36:27,560
Speaker 1: But you wonder, is this the chief defensive old Is

641
00:36:27,600 --> 00:36:31,200
Speaker 1: this the Spags defense that we've come to know that

642
00:36:31,280 --> 00:36:34,919
Speaker 1: has been really really effective and been championship caliber year

643
00:36:34,960 --> 00:36:38,480
Speaker 1: after year, year week after week. Is it that same defense?

644
00:36:38,560 --> 00:36:41,400
Speaker 1: Are you getting that same championship effort from these guys?

645
00:36:41,680 --> 00:36:45,279
Speaker 1: And unfortunately, it looks like there's a changing of the

646
00:36:45,320 --> 00:36:48,840
Speaker 1: guard in the AFC West. It looks like the Denver Broncos,

647
00:36:48,880 --> 00:36:51,160
Speaker 1: I can't say, it looks like they are the class

648
00:36:51,160 --> 00:36:52,960
Speaker 1: of the AFC West right now. They're on top of

649
00:36:53,040 --> 00:36:56,960
Speaker 1: the division and they're dominating. Give them a lot of

650
00:36:56,960 --> 00:37:01,440
Speaker 1: credit their defense. The Denver Broncos defense is legitimate. They

651
00:37:01,480 --> 00:37:05,279
Speaker 1: sacked Patrick Mahome three times in this game, and then

652
00:37:05,360 --> 00:37:09,080
Speaker 1: offensively they were they were held in check. The run

653
00:37:09,120 --> 00:37:11,719
Speaker 1: game was held in check. But bow Knicks made enough

654
00:37:11,760 --> 00:37:16,239
Speaker 1: plays to win this game. So what's what what do

655
00:37:16,280 --> 00:37:18,359
Speaker 1: the Kansas City Chiefs do from here? Again, you can't

656
00:37:18,360 --> 00:37:21,279
Speaker 1: trade for anybody. People are starting to get cut. They're

657
00:37:21,280 --> 00:37:24,440
Speaker 1: getting some reinforcements from the free agency market. Some of

658
00:37:24,440 --> 00:37:27,960
Speaker 1: their old guys, they're old players, mostly d linmen, are

659
00:37:28,000 --> 00:37:31,040
Speaker 1: asking for releases and getting them h and they're picking

660
00:37:31,080 --> 00:37:37,240
Speaker 1: them up. But the Chiefs got the Indianapolis Colts next week,

661
00:37:37,400 --> 00:37:40,200
Speaker 1: and the Indianapolis Colts have been one of the best

662
00:37:40,200 --> 00:37:43,640
Speaker 1: teams in football. You're looking at the Chiefs team that

663
00:37:45,000 --> 00:37:48,640
Speaker 1: is struggling back against the ropes, playing against a team

664
00:37:48,960 --> 00:37:54,920
Speaker 1: that looks incredibly complete. They look like, I mean, a

665
00:37:54,960 --> 00:37:57,239
Speaker 1: team that could potentially be going to the Super Bowl

666
00:37:57,320 --> 00:37:59,680
Speaker 1: this year if they if they can continue it through

667
00:37:59,719 --> 00:38:05,200
Speaker 1: the play, which is a bigot. What did the Kansas

668
00:38:05,200 --> 00:38:08,759
Speaker 1: City what does what do the Kansas City Chiefs do

669
00:38:09,000 --> 00:38:12,520
Speaker 1: in this situation? Because this is the forking road, and

670
00:38:12,560 --> 00:38:16,200
Speaker 1: I know we've talked about it before. Every season, there's

671
00:38:17,480 --> 00:38:19,800
Speaker 1: there's some kind of lull in the season where you

672
00:38:19,840 --> 00:38:23,280
Speaker 1: think the Kansas City Chiefs have struggled and they're they're okay,

673
00:38:23,320 --> 00:38:25,960
Speaker 1: they're this, they're that, but they're gonna find a way

674
00:38:26,000 --> 00:38:27,719
Speaker 1: at the end of the season to win. Hey, the

675
00:38:27,800 --> 00:38:30,640
Speaker 1: Kansas City Chiefs Patch Mahomes grow on the most interception seat,

676
00:38:30,640 --> 00:38:32,560
Speaker 1: But YadA, YadA, YadA, they're gonna find a way to

677
00:38:32,600 --> 00:38:35,560
Speaker 1: win at the end of the season. You say, hey, man,

678
00:38:35,640 --> 00:38:38,040
Speaker 1: the offense doesn't look great, but the defense is world class.

679
00:38:38,040 --> 00:38:40,759
Speaker 1: They're gonna find a way to win in YadA, YadA, YadA, YadA.

680
00:38:40,840 --> 00:38:43,600
Speaker 1: They're five hundred right now, and I do not see

681
00:38:43,640 --> 00:38:46,520
Speaker 1: a path for him. I don't see a path. I

682
00:38:46,520 --> 00:38:49,319
Speaker 1: don't see things improving in the way they're gonna need

683
00:38:49,360 --> 00:38:52,680
Speaker 1: to for the Kansas City Chiefs to be in the playoffs.

684
00:38:52,719 --> 00:38:54,759
Speaker 1: I mean, forget Super Bowl. This may be the first

685
00:38:54,840 --> 00:38:56,719
Speaker 1: year they missed the playoffs. And that's not what I

686
00:38:56,760 --> 00:39:00,880
Speaker 1: was expecting to say coming into this season. Obviously, they

687
00:39:00,920 --> 00:39:04,000
Speaker 1: got a tough game against the Indianapolis Colts. Next week,

688
00:39:05,160 --> 00:39:08,080
Speaker 1: they got a winnable game against the Dallas Cowboys, but

689
00:39:08,480 --> 00:39:10,160
Speaker 1: who knows how they're going to play in that game.

690
00:39:10,200 --> 00:39:12,920
Speaker 1: I mean, it's been jacklink Hide a little bit, but

691
00:39:15,280 --> 00:39:17,360
Speaker 1: there are winnable games throughout the rest of the season.

692
00:39:17,400 --> 00:39:21,799
Speaker 1: They could they could probably Let's see, I think they

693
00:39:21,840 --> 00:39:24,279
Speaker 1: lose to the Colts. That will make them five and six.

694
00:39:25,040 --> 00:39:28,319
Speaker 1: Then they can beat the Cowboys. Depends on how they

695
00:39:28,320 --> 00:39:32,040
Speaker 1: play against the Texans. That can go either way. Is CJ.

696
00:39:32,160 --> 00:39:35,000
Speaker 1: Stroud back? Is their offense playing Can the Kansas City

697
00:39:35,160 --> 00:39:38,919
Speaker 1: Chiefs offensive line hold up? I don't know. Let's we'll

698
00:39:38,920 --> 00:39:41,439
Speaker 1: call it a win. So that's two wins. That gets

699
00:39:41,480 --> 00:39:46,239
Speaker 1: them to seven and six. Then they got the Chargers,

700
00:39:46,320 --> 00:39:48,759
Speaker 1: who are without their two all world tackles. They can

701
00:39:48,800 --> 00:39:52,720
Speaker 1: win that game eight and six, the Titans nine and six.

702
00:39:53,000 --> 00:39:56,680
Speaker 1: I think they lose to the Broncos on Christmas, then

703
00:39:56,719 --> 00:40:01,200
Speaker 1: they can beat the Raiders and be ten seven. Is

704
00:40:01,239 --> 00:40:03,040
Speaker 1: that good enough to get him in the playoffs this year?

705
00:40:04,080 --> 00:40:06,759
Speaker 1: I guess we'll see. It's gonna be tight. It's not

706
00:40:06,800 --> 00:40:09,800
Speaker 1: gonna be like any other year. But again, if the

707
00:40:09,880 --> 00:40:12,120
Speaker 1: Chiefs get in, they're a very dangerous team. They're a

708
00:40:12,200 --> 00:40:15,320
Speaker 1: team that finds a way to win late in the season.

709
00:40:15,320 --> 00:40:18,880
Speaker 1: They're a team that knows how to get to Super Bowls,

710
00:40:18,960 --> 00:40:21,680
Speaker 1: knows how to prepare and knows how to execute down

711
00:40:21,680 --> 00:40:25,520
Speaker 1: the stretch. But they definitely need the Chargers to lose,

712
00:40:25,560 --> 00:40:27,800
Speaker 1: which they did today, and the Jags to start losing.

713
00:40:27,880 --> 00:40:30,200
Speaker 1: I mean, you can't both lose because they played each

714
00:40:30,200 --> 00:40:34,600
Speaker 1: other today, but they're gonna need some help. And I

715
00:40:34,640 --> 00:40:36,719
Speaker 1: don't know, Chiefs fans, is it's the year they miss it?

716
00:40:37,239 --> 00:40:42,400
Speaker 1: We gonna see the Steelers finally look like the defensive

717
00:40:42,440 --> 00:40:45,080
Speaker 1: team everybody thought they'd be coming into the season. They

718
00:40:45,120 --> 00:40:48,919
Speaker 1: beat the Bengals twelve thirty four to twelve to move

719
00:40:48,960 --> 00:40:53,120
Speaker 1: to six and four on the season, are now leading

720
00:40:53,160 --> 00:40:56,600
Speaker 1: the AFC North and feeling pretty good. Aaron Rodgers didn't

721
00:40:56,600 --> 00:40:58,279
Speaker 1: have his best game and got a little banged up

722
00:40:58,280 --> 00:41:00,160
Speaker 1: in the game. Mason Rudolph had to come in and

723
00:41:00,200 --> 00:41:02,040
Speaker 1: he went twelve to sixteen for one hundred and twenty

724
00:41:02,040 --> 00:41:05,600
Speaker 1: seven yards in a touchdown. But the story of this

725
00:41:05,680 --> 00:41:10,520
Speaker 1: game is did Jamar Chase spit on Jalen Ramsey. I

726
00:41:10,520 --> 00:41:14,120
Speaker 1: don't know. It kind of looked like it, and by

727
00:41:14,200 --> 00:41:17,200
Speaker 1: Jalen Ramsey's reaction, it looked like something had to had

728
00:41:17,200 --> 00:41:20,840
Speaker 1: to happen. You know, he's he's a guy that plays

729
00:41:20,840 --> 00:41:22,360
Speaker 1: with a lot of fire and a lot of a

730
00:41:22,360 --> 00:41:25,759
Speaker 1: lot of enthusiasm, but it definitely looked like Chase might

731
00:41:25,760 --> 00:41:28,360
Speaker 1: have spit on him, But we don't know if he

732
00:41:28,440 --> 00:41:30,120
Speaker 1: spent on him or not. But if he did, that's

733
00:41:30,160 --> 00:41:31,880
Speaker 1: uncalled for in this game and you can't have it.

734
00:41:32,520 --> 00:41:37,880
Speaker 1: But this Pittsburgh defense is playing at a high level

735
00:41:37,920 --> 00:41:39,680
Speaker 1: and they have the last couple of weeks. They get

736
00:41:39,719 --> 00:41:43,680
Speaker 1: two touchdowns in this game, a seventy three yard pick

737
00:41:43,800 --> 00:41:47,520
Speaker 1: six by Kyle Duggar in a forty or thirty four

738
00:41:47,600 --> 00:41:52,600
Speaker 1: yard fumble return by James Pierre. Huge plays by his

739
00:41:52,719 --> 00:41:57,560
Speaker 1: defense that really helped the struggling offense get its footing

740
00:41:57,680 --> 00:42:00,160
Speaker 1: in a tough division game. Again, He's division game are

741
00:42:00,200 --> 00:42:02,480
Speaker 1: always gonna be a grind, They're gonna be backing for

742
00:42:03,239 --> 00:42:07,560
Speaker 1: a brawl, but you gotta win, and the Pittsburgh Steelers

743
00:42:07,600 --> 00:42:09,799
Speaker 1: had to have it. They have tough games coming up

744
00:42:09,880 --> 00:42:12,680
Speaker 1: and that are all must wins. With with the Baltimore

745
00:42:12,800 --> 00:42:15,960
Speaker 1: Ravens right on their heels, they got the Bears, who

746
00:42:16,120 --> 00:42:17,959
Speaker 1: again we talked about it one seven of the last

747
00:42:17,960 --> 00:42:22,640
Speaker 1: eight and just finding ways to win. The Bills, who

748
00:42:22,800 --> 00:42:26,920
Speaker 1: are playing some up and down football but played a

749
00:42:26,960 --> 00:42:29,919
Speaker 1: really dominant game versus the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, a team

750
00:42:29,960 --> 00:42:33,080
Speaker 1: that's been really good offensively this season, and then they

751
00:42:33,120 --> 00:42:39,400
Speaker 1: got a dogfight of a game in the AFC North

752
00:42:39,400 --> 00:42:43,920
Speaker 1: Division against the Baltimore Ravens. That's gonna determine their season.

753
00:42:44,000 --> 00:42:46,439
Speaker 1: That's gonna determine a lot of things coming up. How

754
00:42:46,480 --> 00:42:49,919
Speaker 1: this is seeded, who's gonna win this division, et cetera,

755
00:42:50,000 --> 00:42:55,319
Speaker 1: et cetera. That's why I love November December football. It

756
00:42:55,640 --> 00:42:59,200
Speaker 1: always comes down to the wire. The Bengals next game,

757
00:43:00,400 --> 00:43:04,120
Speaker 1: the Patriots, who've won I think eighth straight now and

758
00:43:04,400 --> 00:43:07,720
Speaker 1: looked to be the class of the AFC right along

759
00:43:07,760 --> 00:43:16,839
Speaker 1: with the Indianapolis Colts. So we'll we'll see Pittsburgh. We'll

760
00:43:16,840 --> 00:43:19,880
Speaker 1: see if they can continue this. Their next three games

761
00:43:19,880 --> 00:43:22,920
Speaker 1: will tell the tale. Is Aaron Rodgers gonna be okay?

762
00:43:23,200 --> 00:43:25,759
Speaker 1: We'll have all those answers for you by the middle

763
00:43:25,760 --> 00:43:29,359
Speaker 1: of the week. The next game in the AFC North,

764
00:43:29,400 --> 00:43:35,120
Speaker 1: the Ravens defeat the Browns Lamar Jackson gets sacked five times.

765
00:43:35,160 --> 00:43:38,400
Speaker 1: I think four of them were Miles Garrett. Derek Henry

766
00:43:38,440 --> 00:43:40,800
Speaker 1: eighteen carries for one hundred and four yards in a touchdown.

767
00:43:41,840 --> 00:43:44,480
Speaker 1: The story of this game, Dylan Gabriel knocked out with

768
00:43:44,520 --> 00:43:47,280
Speaker 1: a concussion. He was seven to ten for sixteen sixty

769
00:43:47,320 --> 00:43:52,759
Speaker 1: eight yards. Shador Sanders comes in and he struggles. It's

770
00:43:52,800 --> 00:43:57,040
Speaker 1: tough to come into a game without taking starter reps

771
00:43:57,040 --> 00:43:59,479
Speaker 1: throughout the season, but he was four sixteen for forty

772
00:43:59,520 --> 00:44:07,000
Speaker 1: seven yard and it intersections. That's a rough game. Based

773
00:44:07,040 --> 00:44:10,120
Speaker 1: on how the concussion protocols and everything usually go, I

774
00:44:10,120 --> 00:44:13,760
Speaker 1: would guess that that Dylan Gabriel is probably out another

775
00:44:13,800 --> 00:44:15,879
Speaker 1: game and shar Door Sanders may get his first start

776
00:44:15,920 --> 00:44:22,359
Speaker 1: of his career next week versus the Raiders. We'll see.

777
00:44:22,400 --> 00:44:27,319
Speaker 1: I'm excited. Unfortunately, I hope Dylan Gabriel gets healthy. You

778
00:44:27,400 --> 00:44:29,440
Speaker 1: never want to see injury or guy go in because

779
00:44:29,440 --> 00:44:33,200
Speaker 1: of the injury. But if he's out, Shador Sanders gets

780
00:44:33,239 --> 00:44:36,080
Speaker 1: another opportunity, this time with a full week of starterer

781
00:44:36,239 --> 00:44:39,120
Speaker 1: reps and a game plan is tailored to his strengths

782
00:44:39,120 --> 00:44:42,640
Speaker 1: and it's tailored to the way he plays football, and

783
00:44:42,719 --> 00:44:45,719
Speaker 1: so we'll see. We'll see how that goes. He'll be

784
00:44:45,760 --> 00:44:49,239
Speaker 1: playing for the against the Raiders and Pete Carroll, who

785
00:44:49,280 --> 00:44:52,040
Speaker 1: may be looking to make a trade or gonna make

786
00:44:52,040 --> 00:44:56,000
Speaker 1: a decision at quarterback for the this offseason. I think

787
00:44:56,000 --> 00:44:58,360
Speaker 1: they're clearly going to draft one in the first round

788
00:44:58,400 --> 00:45:02,240
Speaker 1: based on how Gino has been laying. If I'm not mistaken,

789
00:45:02,280 --> 00:45:06,720
Speaker 1: they I've seen the bench Geno right now. For Kenny Pickett,

790
00:45:06,760 --> 00:45:11,440
Speaker 1: I believe so it'll be a winnable game for the Browns.

791
00:45:11,680 --> 00:45:13,839
Speaker 1: Uh in a. In a if you're gonna ask for

792
00:45:13,880 --> 00:45:16,360
Speaker 1: a team to start against, this is as good of

793
00:45:16,400 --> 00:45:19,040
Speaker 1: a chance as any for Sir Door Sanders. Uh. They

794
00:45:19,040 --> 00:45:21,239
Speaker 1: don't bring a ton of pressure, they don't do a

795
00:45:21,280 --> 00:45:25,520
Speaker 1: ton of exotic things on defense. We'll see what he's

796
00:45:25,520 --> 00:45:28,719
Speaker 1: able to do with it. All odds and lines are

797
00:45:28,719 --> 00:45:31,800
Speaker 1: brought to you by our partners at hard Rock Bet.

798
00:45:32,320 --> 00:45:35,680
Speaker 1: We've got the Cowboys at the Raiders on Monday Night

799
00:45:35,680 --> 00:45:39,600
Speaker 1: Football tomorrow. Hard Rock Bet has the Cowboys has a

800
00:45:39,719 --> 00:45:43,840
Speaker 1: three point spread in this game. I think that's accurate.

801
00:45:43,960 --> 00:45:45,880
Speaker 1: I mean, I would hope they would would would be

802
00:45:45,920 --> 00:45:48,000
Speaker 1: able to to pull away by more. The Raiders have

803
00:45:48,040 --> 00:45:54,000
Speaker 1: struggled mightily this year. They're going with Kenny Pickett, I

804
00:45:54,040 --> 00:45:57,080
Speaker 1: believe at quarterback. Who knows how that'll go. There's some

805
00:45:57,200 --> 00:46:00,360
Speaker 1: unpredictability there, but you would think with the all offensive

806
00:46:00,360 --> 00:46:03,480
Speaker 1: weapons that the Dallas Cowboys have, they should be able

807
00:46:03,520 --> 00:46:07,080
Speaker 1: to put up some points and really really pull away

808
00:46:07,120 --> 00:46:09,920
Speaker 1: from this Raiders team that struggled offensively and struggled to

809
00:46:09,920 --> 00:46:13,640
Speaker 1: put points up this season. We'll see, we'll see. But

810
00:46:14,239 --> 00:46:17,480
Speaker 1: that's what your boy thinks is going to happen. Am

811
00:46:17,520 --> 00:46:23,360
Speaker 1: I right? Am I wrong? The stats will tell the story.

812
00:46:24,080 --> 00:46:26,359
Speaker 1: I appreciate you guys joining me as always. You could

813
