Speaker 4: I hope you had a Falcons so at night we're

33
00:01:34,040 --> 00:01:36,399
Speaker 4: gonna get to that. The Falcons sort of through a

34
00:01:36,400 --> 00:01:39,000
Speaker 4: little wrench in the plans of a few teams in

35
00:01:39,040 --> 00:01:42,400
Speaker 4: the NFC. We're gonna talk about Josh Allen's meet today.

36
00:01:42,760 --> 00:01:46,959
Speaker 4: What we're gonna talk about some legends that celebrated birthday today.

37
00:01:47,840 --> 00:01:49,960
Speaker 4: Sam Darnold. I have a theory on him, but let's

38
00:01:50,040 --> 00:01:54,720
Speaker 4: let's dive into it. The Rams last night, truth be told,

39
00:01:55,960 --> 00:01:58,960
Speaker 4: it's that taint of the holiday season. No one's really

40
00:01:59,000 --> 00:02:00,800
Speaker 4: honed in and it was a one day night game

41
00:02:00,880 --> 00:02:06,040
Speaker 4: that didn't have much significance on paper. Because the NFC West,

42
00:02:06,440 --> 00:02:09,120
Speaker 4: we all know the winner of the forty nine or

43
00:02:09,200 --> 00:02:11,040
Speaker 4: Seahawks has.

44
00:02:10,919 --> 00:02:14,240
Speaker 2: Your one seed. Yeah, so the Rams are chilling there.

45
00:02:14,440 --> 00:02:16,200
Speaker 4: In fact, there's been rumors are they going to shut

46
00:02:16,240 --> 00:02:20,560
Speaker 4: down DeVonta Adams until the playoffs. There's a sense of, well,

47
00:02:20,600 --> 00:02:22,400
Speaker 4: there's really not that much on the line tonight. So

48
00:02:22,960 --> 00:02:25,360
Speaker 4: I didn't hone into the beginning of the game. I

49
00:02:25,400 --> 00:02:27,280
Speaker 4: was checking on my phone. I was grabbing some food,

50
00:02:27,880 --> 00:02:30,760
Speaker 4: and I'm like, I have seven nothing? Who fourteen nothing?

51
00:02:31,200 --> 00:02:35,560
Speaker 2: Oh? Hold now wait, twenty one nothing Falcons.

52
00:02:35,800 --> 00:02:39,640
Speaker 4: Then I'm looking at the box garm like it's anyone playing,

53
00:02:39,680 --> 00:02:41,480
Speaker 4: Like what is what's going on in your defense?

54
00:02:41,560 --> 00:02:44,639
Speaker 3: That all happen kind of quick. Yeah, they came out

55
00:02:44,639 --> 00:02:46,040
Speaker 3: and took charge of the game, for sure.

56
00:02:47,320 --> 00:02:50,200
Speaker 4: I couldn't believe my eyes. But I'm like, twenty one nothing.

57
00:02:50,240 --> 00:02:53,120
Speaker 4: And then they're mounting a comeback, which a better team

58
00:02:53,200 --> 00:02:55,560
Speaker 4: usually does. They'll find a way to find their way

59
00:02:55,560 --> 00:02:59,920
Speaker 4: back in. And here we are, end of the game.

60
00:03:00,360 --> 00:03:04,760
Speaker 4: Falcons go ahead field goal and you're thinking, man, the

61
00:03:04,800 --> 00:03:08,760
Speaker 4: Rams are gonna drop one, and and then you realize, well,

62
00:03:08,919 --> 00:03:11,800
Speaker 4: Matthew Stafford does have a little time on the clock.

63
00:03:12,840 --> 00:03:15,840
Speaker 4: And I feel like, three plays in a row they

64
00:03:15,840 --> 00:03:18,919
Speaker 4: had an opportunity. Do you not feel the same way?

65
00:03:19,520 --> 00:03:22,440
Speaker 2: There was three controversial plays in a row for sure.

66
00:03:23,560 --> 00:03:27,760
Speaker 4: First Stafford just misses a wide receiver that gets open,

67
00:03:27,840 --> 00:03:32,120
Speaker 4: like like big time open, like miss is by a

68
00:03:32,160 --> 00:03:33,959
Speaker 4: step and a half and you're like, oh my god,

69
00:03:34,000 --> 00:03:35,320
Speaker 4: that could have been for six.

70
00:03:36,280 --> 00:03:41,360
Speaker 3: All right, next play, I think, yeah, I think he

71
00:03:41,400 --> 00:03:43,720
Speaker 3: threw it in the right spot. The runner the receiver

72
00:03:43,880 --> 00:03:47,880
Speaker 3: just didn't get there, yeah quick enough, Like the ball

73
00:03:47,960 --> 00:03:48,280
Speaker 3: was there.

74
00:03:48,360 --> 00:03:49,000
Speaker 2: It was close.

75
00:03:49,080 --> 00:03:51,520
Speaker 3: It could have happened. Maybe the timing was off a

76
00:03:51,520 --> 00:03:52,520
Speaker 3: little bit, but yeah, it was.

77
00:03:52,560 --> 00:03:55,320
Speaker 2: It was there, could have could have went their way

78
00:03:55,360 --> 00:03:57,480
Speaker 2: but didn't. Then you see.

79
00:03:59,640 --> 00:04:02,560
Speaker 4: Ah appearance that doesn't get called, and you're like, oh,

80
00:04:03,240 --> 00:04:04,240
Speaker 4: it was like Danny g.

81
00:04:04,400 --> 00:04:06,960
Speaker 2: You were texting us like yo, arm was held down man.

82
00:04:08,040 --> 00:04:13,440
Speaker 5: To be fair, when it happened, it was close. It happened,

83
00:04:13,920 --> 00:04:15,320
Speaker 5: they were saying in real time.

84
00:04:15,440 --> 00:04:17,680
Speaker 3: It was hard to see, but it was really noticeable

85
00:04:17,720 --> 00:04:20,960
Speaker 3: for us at home that that was passing question, no doubt.

86
00:04:21,040 --> 00:04:23,440
Speaker 5: Actually, if you're a judge on the field, you should

87
00:04:23,440 --> 00:04:25,159
Speaker 5: be able to maybe spot that.

88
00:04:25,320 --> 00:04:29,640
Speaker 3: Yeah, obvious, those twice Rich It was like almost two

89
00:04:29,680 --> 00:04:31,360
Speaker 3: times that happened on that same play.

90
00:04:31,560 --> 00:04:35,240
Speaker 4: Those those type of plays bang bang. If it gets called,

91
00:04:35,279 --> 00:04:37,440
Speaker 4: you're not shocked. But if it doesn't get called, you're like, oh,

92
00:04:37,760 --> 00:04:39,159
Speaker 4: could have been, but it.

93
00:04:39,200 --> 00:04:41,240
Speaker 3: Made it obvious too. It was it was like a

94
00:04:41,440 --> 00:04:44,400
Speaker 3: one handed grab and it didn't have to be. The

95
00:04:44,480 --> 00:04:46,919
Speaker 3: only reason it was one handed grab is because his

96
00:04:47,120 --> 00:04:48,160
Speaker 3: other arm was being held.

97
00:04:48,480 --> 00:04:50,760
Speaker 4: So you're like, all right, those are two chances where

98
00:04:50,760 --> 00:04:52,720
Speaker 4: if your rams it was kind of obvious. If your

99
00:04:52,760 --> 00:04:56,520
Speaker 4: rams are You're like, oh damn, that's two opportunities squandered.

100
00:04:56,839 --> 00:05:00,599
Speaker 4: Then Buka Nakua, who was one of the coolst dudes.

101
00:05:00,640 --> 00:05:01,960
Speaker 4: We've had him on the show a couple times in

102
00:05:02,000 --> 00:05:04,440
Speaker 4: the last year. What a competitor, What a competitor, What

103
00:05:04,520 --> 00:05:07,279
Speaker 4: a real fun nice guy. I'm a big fan of Pooka.

104
00:05:08,400 --> 00:05:11,920
Speaker 4: Here he is making one of the most ridiculous possible

105
00:05:11,960 --> 00:05:14,520
Speaker 4: catches you've seen in your life.

106
00:05:14,680 --> 00:05:17,279
Speaker 2: Again, this guy's hands are unbelievable.

107
00:05:17,120 --> 00:05:22,360
Speaker 4: And all the little movement and it goes from circus

108
00:05:22,400 --> 00:05:24,760
Speaker 4: sideline catch field goal range two.

109
00:05:26,080 --> 00:05:29,440
Speaker 2: Runner was out of you know, you see what was out?

110
00:05:29,480 --> 00:05:32,680
Speaker 3: You know they looked like such an amazing catch, but

111
00:05:32,760 --> 00:05:33,239
Speaker 3: it wasn't.

112
00:05:33,839 --> 00:05:37,800
Speaker 4: And here we are, games over and I wanted to

113
00:05:37,800 --> 00:05:38,479
Speaker 4: just start the show.

114
00:05:38,560 --> 00:05:39,760
Speaker 2: Rich, I do want to make this clear.

115
00:05:39,839 --> 00:05:42,280
Speaker 3: Yeah they got the call, right, I mean, yeah, if

116
00:05:42,320 --> 00:05:45,640
Speaker 3: you weren't watching, You're casually watching. They got the call right,

117
00:05:45,760 --> 00:05:49,360
Speaker 3: but from first glance it looked like he had it.

118
00:05:49,360 --> 00:05:50,360
Speaker 2: It was sort of pulled.

119
00:05:50,360 --> 00:05:55,440
Speaker 3: It was again props to their deceiving receiving team defensive team,

120
00:05:55,440 --> 00:05:56,719
Speaker 3: because it was pulled from his hands.

121
00:05:56,839 --> 00:05:58,919
Speaker 4: Yeah, aren't there times when you'll be like, yeah, I

122
00:05:58,960 --> 00:06:03,400
Speaker 4: just give it to him. Yeah, credible stylistically, Like in

123
00:06:03,440 --> 00:06:06,039
Speaker 4: my mind, I'm like, it was such a good almost catch.

124
00:06:06,400 --> 00:06:08,679
Speaker 4: I know that's not how the games played, but this party,

125
00:06:08,720 --> 00:06:10,679
Speaker 4: that's like, ID give it to him? I mean, Jesus,

126
00:06:11,000 --> 00:06:13,240
Speaker 4: the guy had on his way down. It was sort

127
00:06:13,240 --> 00:06:16,400
Speaker 4: of pulled out for a split ridiculous and.

128
00:06:16,480 --> 00:06:18,800
Speaker 5: Right before it got pulled out and knocked out there

129
00:06:18,800 --> 00:06:21,919
Speaker 5: at the very end of the play, he squeezed that

130
00:06:22,120 --> 00:06:25,920
Speaker 5: like a NERF football with one big paw one.

131
00:06:26,080 --> 00:06:30,040
Speaker 2: Yeah, that would snag, no doubt. That would have been

132
00:06:30,120 --> 00:06:31,159
Speaker 2: the catch of the year.

133
00:06:31,680 --> 00:06:34,240
Speaker 4: So I come in here this morning to let the

134
00:06:34,240 --> 00:06:37,720
Speaker 4: world know I'd still be very scared of the Rams.

135
00:06:37,800 --> 00:06:40,599
Speaker 4: Let me explain why I'm a Niners fan. We're looking

136
00:06:40,640 --> 00:06:43,560
Speaker 4: at the NFC as a very wide open place. You

137
00:06:43,640 --> 00:06:46,920
Speaker 4: got the Eagles, who Jalen Hurts didn't throw for one

138
00:06:47,000 --> 00:06:47,400
Speaker 4: yard in the.

139
00:06:47,400 --> 00:06:48,400
Speaker 2: Second half the other day.

140
00:06:48,520 --> 00:06:51,400
Speaker 4: I don't know if anyone Kumino is convinced about your

141
00:06:51,440 --> 00:06:53,200
Speaker 4: defending champs to Philadelphia Eagles.

142
00:06:53,200 --> 00:06:54,360
Speaker 2: That's no one's like.

143
00:06:54,320 --> 00:06:56,440
Speaker 4: Well, they got a clear path. I don't think anyone's

144
00:06:56,480 --> 00:07:01,080
Speaker 4: thinking that the Bucks Panthers there's a little wrinkle put

145
00:07:01,120 --> 00:07:02,640
Speaker 4: in that because of last night. I don't know if

146
00:07:02,640 --> 00:07:04,599
Speaker 4: you realize if you're a schedule watching and all that

147
00:07:04,640 --> 00:07:07,279
Speaker 4: stuff like I am, we've been talking about the little

148
00:07:07,600 --> 00:07:10,760
Speaker 4: percentages because the Falcons won last night and no one

149
00:07:10,760 --> 00:07:13,560
Speaker 4: really thought that would happen. Do you know that if

150
00:07:13,600 --> 00:07:20,400
Speaker 4: the Falcons beat the Saints on Sunday, that Panthers Bucks

151
00:07:20,440 --> 00:07:24,160
Speaker 4: game is irrelevant and Carolina would be your division champ

152
00:07:24,200 --> 00:07:27,680
Speaker 4: no matter what. Baker can have the game of his

153
00:07:27,720 --> 00:07:30,640
Speaker 4: life Saturday and be like, man, the Bucks are back

154
00:07:30,640 --> 00:07:34,040
Speaker 4: to five hundred and yet the Panthers would still win

155
00:07:34,080 --> 00:07:42,600
Speaker 4: that division if the Falcons win again on Sunday.

156
00:07:41,360 --> 00:07:42,440
Speaker 2: And that's likely.

157
00:07:42,560 --> 00:07:44,880
Speaker 3: Man, it seems like the Falcons are playing well at

158
00:07:44,960 --> 00:07:48,600
Speaker 3: just the right time. Three in a row now, Cousins

159
00:07:48,640 --> 00:07:51,520
Speaker 3: looking good, Robinson looking unstoppable.

160
00:07:53,000 --> 00:07:54,280
Speaker 2: By the way, I was thinking.

161
00:07:54,200 --> 00:07:57,320
Speaker 3: Yesterday, if you were to put a top three running

162
00:07:57,360 --> 00:08:01,760
Speaker 3: back out there, who would it be? Just want top three?

163
00:08:01,960 --> 00:08:05,960
Speaker 3: Top three? I mean, obviously your boy Christian mccafcaffrey. Would

164
00:08:05,960 --> 00:08:07,520
Speaker 3: you still put Saquon Barkley in there?

165
00:08:07,560 --> 00:08:07,880
Speaker 2: I would.

166
00:08:08,200 --> 00:08:10,240
Speaker 4: That's a good one, I think. And then the way

167
00:08:10,320 --> 00:08:12,840
Speaker 4: Derek Henry was Derek Derek Henry the other day. But

168
00:08:12,880 --> 00:08:14,400
Speaker 4: then you could say, if you talk about the first

169
00:08:14,400 --> 00:08:16,560
Speaker 4: half of the year, Jonathan Taylor, but not second half

170
00:08:16,560 --> 00:08:16,880
Speaker 4: of the year.

171
00:08:16,960 --> 00:08:18,840
Speaker 2: Not second half of the year Jonathan Taylor.

172
00:08:18,880 --> 00:08:21,080
Speaker 3: No. Yeah, I was thinking all this because you know

173
00:08:21,080 --> 00:08:26,000
Speaker 3: why I was thinking that, because Saquon Barkley and your boy,

174
00:08:26,080 --> 00:08:28,920
Speaker 3: Christian McCaffrey are I think it's a State farm commercial.

175
00:08:28,920 --> 00:08:30,360
Speaker 2: They're in a commercial.

176
00:08:29,840 --> 00:08:33,040
Speaker 3: Together, and I'm thinking, well, who else could have been

177
00:08:33,040 --> 00:08:37,199
Speaker 3: in that commercial? They're at a commercial side by side, and

178
00:08:37,240 --> 00:08:39,480
Speaker 3: they're pretty much the same size, and I was sizing

179
00:08:39,480 --> 00:08:41,920
Speaker 3: them up, and I'm like, Derek Henry would beast over

180
00:08:41,960 --> 00:08:42,520
Speaker 3: those guys.

181
00:08:42,800 --> 00:08:44,720
Speaker 2: But who would be the top three? Anyway?

182
00:08:44,880 --> 00:08:46,840
Speaker 3: Just a random side thought, well, you know what, the

183
00:08:46,840 --> 00:08:49,839
Speaker 3: Falcons look good. Back to that point, it seems like

184
00:08:49,880 --> 00:08:52,680
Speaker 3: they're putting it together at the right time.

185
00:08:52,760 --> 00:08:54,839
Speaker 4: Wells kirk Cousins proved that he has a little left

186
00:08:54,880 --> 00:08:56,480
Speaker 4: in the tank or what I mean I think so,

187
00:08:56,559 --> 00:09:00,560
Speaker 4: I think they're just playing well under him. He's leading team. Well,

188
00:09:00,600 --> 00:09:02,679
Speaker 4: they're seven and nine, three in a row. But I

189
00:09:03,120 --> 00:09:05,240
Speaker 4: want you to keep I want to keep something in mine. No,

190
00:09:05,760 --> 00:09:09,079
Speaker 4: you're like the Falcons. If they win, they play the Saints,

191
00:09:09,080 --> 00:09:11,080
Speaker 4: who you're like, the Saints are trashed. The Saints have

192
00:09:11,120 --> 00:09:15,040
Speaker 4: won four in a row, exactly like the Saints are.

193
00:09:15,200 --> 00:09:18,079
Speaker 5: You know, a very young quarterback, Shuck is being talked

194
00:09:18,080 --> 00:09:20,160
Speaker 5: about as offensive rookie of the year.

195
00:09:20,320 --> 00:09:21,480
Speaker 2: Yeah, there's six and ten down.

196
00:09:22,440 --> 00:09:26,079
Speaker 4: I bet you, hit, I bet you that if there

197
00:09:26,120 --> 00:09:28,760
Speaker 4: was one more month of the season, that division could

198
00:09:28,800 --> 00:09:33,360
Speaker 4: flip because the Bucks have fallen apart. Carolina is showing

199
00:09:33,400 --> 00:09:37,199
Speaker 4: that they're like a five hundred team. But the Saints

200
00:09:37,200 --> 00:09:40,080
Speaker 4: and the Falcons, who are both under five hundred, are

201
00:09:40,120 --> 00:09:42,679
Speaker 4: the two hottest teams in that division. So I think

202
00:09:42,720 --> 00:09:47,079
Speaker 4: that division is a disaster. So yeah, just it's interesting

203
00:09:47,120 --> 00:09:50,880
Speaker 4: to see what team will sort of back into that

204
00:09:50,880 --> 00:09:53,520
Speaker 4: that playoff spot. Someone's going to win it at eight

205
00:09:53,559 --> 00:09:55,079
Speaker 4: and nine or nine and eight. Like we said, it's

206
00:09:55,080 --> 00:09:55,760
Speaker 4: a bad division.

207
00:09:55,800 --> 00:09:59,319
Speaker 5: There's a scenario where the Panthers could host a wild

208
00:09:59,440 --> 00:10:01,319
Speaker 5: card game and they'd be what eight and nine?

209
00:10:01,400 --> 00:10:03,240
Speaker 2: Yeah? Did they could be eight and nine.

210
00:10:04,120 --> 00:10:06,080
Speaker 5: You guys have a problem with a team that's under

211
00:10:06,080 --> 00:10:08,040
Speaker 5: five hundred hosting a playoff game.

212
00:10:08,160 --> 00:10:11,679
Speaker 4: We've talked about this on our regular It doesn't look out,

213
00:10:12,080 --> 00:10:12,480
Speaker 4: it doesn't.

214
00:10:12,559 --> 00:10:13,640
Speaker 2: You make it, You make it right.

215
00:10:13,679 --> 00:10:16,560
Speaker 4: Yeah, It's almost like, you know, there are times your

216
00:10:16,559 --> 00:10:18,920
Speaker 4: team wins a division in baseball, winning eighty eight to

217
00:10:19,000 --> 00:10:21,559
Speaker 4: ninety games, and you host a better wild card.

218
00:10:21,640 --> 00:10:22,840
Speaker 2: It happens, right, It's just.

219
00:10:22,840 --> 00:10:28,240
Speaker 3: It's and honestly, the way this year has been, it

220
00:10:28,320 --> 00:10:30,320
Speaker 3: kind of would make sense. It kind of would go

221
00:10:30,440 --> 00:10:32,760
Speaker 3: with the whole vibe and feeling of this entire season.

222
00:10:33,400 --> 00:10:38,600
Speaker 4: Interestingly enough, if if things stay the way they are,

223
00:10:39,480 --> 00:10:43,000
Speaker 4: I think that crappy South team, whether it's Carolina or

224
00:10:43,000 --> 00:10:46,280
Speaker 4: the Bucks, would end up hosting like the Rams. It's

225
00:10:46,320 --> 00:10:48,880
Speaker 4: like a better to twelve plus win team, which is

226
00:10:49,559 --> 00:10:50,880
Speaker 4: you know, that's that's the point.

227
00:10:51,000 --> 00:10:52,079
Speaker 2: Do they deserve it? No?

228
00:10:52,160 --> 00:10:54,440
Speaker 4: But it's how you it's how the divisions are set.

229
00:10:55,960 --> 00:10:58,000
Speaker 4: But I wanted to point out how the Rams Couldno.

230
00:10:58,400 --> 00:11:00,760
Speaker 3: Colin in Canada is hit in a su Yeah again,

231
00:11:00,840 --> 00:11:05,120
Speaker 3: the YouTube chat is popping Covino and rich FSR to

232
00:11:05,200 --> 00:11:07,480
Speaker 3: see us live see our tired faces. A lot of

233
00:11:07,480 --> 00:11:10,720
Speaker 3: boozing and schmoozing during the taint of the holidays, He says,

234
00:11:10,840 --> 00:11:13,240
Speaker 3: Cousin through for like one hundred and twenty five yards.

235
00:11:13,559 --> 00:11:15,760
Speaker 3: But yeah, they've been playing solid behind him. I just

236
00:11:16,160 --> 00:11:18,880
Speaker 3: have some good moments. Again, I'm not saying he's the reason. Yeah,

237
00:11:19,040 --> 00:11:23,720
Speaker 3: not saying he's the reason, but you know, leadership, you

238
00:11:23,720 --> 00:11:24,160
Speaker 3: know guy.

239
00:11:24,840 --> 00:11:25,160
Speaker 2: I don't know.

240
00:11:25,400 --> 00:11:27,600
Speaker 4: Maybe I'm trying to just feel good for Kirk Cousins

241
00:11:27,600 --> 00:11:28,079
Speaker 4: for a minute.

242
00:11:28,200 --> 00:11:28,400
Speaker 6: Yeah.

243
00:11:28,440 --> 00:11:30,400
Speaker 3: I mean he's easy to root for, so yeah, I

244
00:11:30,440 --> 00:11:32,720
Speaker 3: am pulling for the guy. Is it coincidence they've been

245
00:11:32,720 --> 00:11:35,800
Speaker 3: winning since he's been playing Willhelm and a Criner Green

246
00:11:35,960 --> 00:11:38,560
Speaker 3: for eight seven seven says I wonder if ten years

247
00:11:38,600 --> 00:11:42,000
Speaker 3: ago that Puka Nakua catch would have been a fair catch.

248
00:11:42,200 --> 00:11:45,199
Speaker 3: I was thinking the same thing, and I was thinking, yes, yes,

249
00:11:45,440 --> 00:11:48,120
Speaker 3: that would have been I think so anyway, and.

250
00:11:49,679 --> 00:11:50,480
Speaker 2: Morning fell as.

251
00:11:50,360 --> 00:11:53,199
Speaker 3: A lot of people Devanty Adams more impactful than I thought.

252
00:11:53,320 --> 00:11:55,720
Speaker 2: That's what Ashley Riolo saying. That's a that's a big sentiment.

253
00:11:55,840 --> 00:11:58,080
Speaker 4: And Danny and I looked it up before the show

254
00:11:58,640 --> 00:12:00,560
Speaker 4: because there's a few guys where you and we're gonna

255
00:12:00,559 --> 00:12:01,440
Speaker 4: get to this later in the show.

256
00:12:01,440 --> 00:12:03,280
Speaker 2: Where as we enter week eighteen.

257
00:12:03,480 --> 00:12:05,839
Speaker 4: You know who's gonna who's gonna rest up and get

258
00:12:05,880 --> 00:12:08,640
Speaker 4: ready for the postseason, and whether or not he's able

259
00:12:08,640 --> 00:12:10,560
Speaker 4: to come back. It appears as though the Rams are

260
00:12:10,600 --> 00:12:13,840
Speaker 4: gonna have Devonte Adams just good to go wildcard weekend.

261
00:12:14,120 --> 00:12:18,480
Speaker 4: There's no point now to push Devonte Adams because there's

262
00:12:18,480 --> 00:12:21,360
Speaker 4: no the Rams path and where they are.

263
00:12:22,880 --> 00:12:25,440
Speaker 2: Is not changing. They're not gonna they can't win the division.

264
00:12:25,480 --> 00:12:28,800
Speaker 4: Whoever wins forty nine ers hosting the Seahawks as your

265
00:12:28,880 --> 00:12:32,320
Speaker 4: division winner and one seed. The Rams are a wildcard regardless.

266
00:12:32,360 --> 00:12:34,719
Speaker 4: So and your point, why I played DeVonta Adams now?

267
00:12:34,760 --> 00:12:34,920
Speaker 2: Right?

268
00:12:35,400 --> 00:12:38,040
Speaker 3: You know, if they're keeping him healthy, why I play

269
00:12:38,080 --> 00:12:40,679
Speaker 3: him now? They're still going to be dangerous as a

270
00:12:40,679 --> 00:12:42,480
Speaker 3: wild card. I'll tell you why don't sleep on the

271
00:12:42,520 --> 00:12:44,800
Speaker 3: Rams because they could have easily pulled away with that game,

272
00:12:44,840 --> 00:12:47,040
Speaker 3: even though they started rough. They had a few bad

273
00:12:47,120 --> 00:12:52,880
Speaker 3: calls or questionable questionable calls, borderline calls where things could

274
00:12:52,880 --> 00:12:56,040
Speaker 3: have been different. So are they as dangerous as we

275
00:12:56,120 --> 00:12:58,400
Speaker 3: think or not at all? Well, I'll tell you what

276
00:12:58,480 --> 00:12:59,560
Speaker 3: seven ninety nine on Fox.

277
00:12:59,600 --> 00:13:00,480
Speaker 2: I agree with Rich.

278
00:13:00,559 --> 00:13:02,880
Speaker 3: I mean I think they could have easily won that game.

279
00:13:03,360 --> 00:13:06,920
Speaker 3: Poka Nakua ultimate competitor. Stafford still doing his thing. He

280
00:13:07,040 --> 00:13:08,880
Speaker 3: was off put it that way on an off night.

281
00:13:09,200 --> 00:13:11,160
Speaker 3: I guess that really sums up on an off night.

282
00:13:12,000 --> 00:13:13,600
Speaker 3: They still almost won that game.

283
00:13:13,840 --> 00:13:19,479
Speaker 4: I mean, Matthew Stafford may have lost points and lost

284
00:13:19,760 --> 00:13:22,440
Speaker 4: you know, his path to the MVP. He had a

285
00:13:22,480 --> 00:13:24,679
Speaker 4: rough couple games over the last month. The Rams dropped

286
00:13:24,679 --> 00:13:28,240
Speaker 4: a couple in a row. Matthew Stafford at one point,

287
00:13:28,280 --> 00:13:31,600
Speaker 4: remember his interception to touchdown ratio was like thirty somethings,

288
00:13:31,679 --> 00:13:34,480
Speaker 4: like a couple interceptions. It was Aaron Rodgers like in

289
00:13:34,559 --> 00:13:37,640
Speaker 4: Aaron Rodgers Prime. He's had a couple games with multiple

290
00:13:37,640 --> 00:13:40,560
Speaker 4: picks over the last month. So now Stafford has forty

291
00:13:40,559 --> 00:13:44,559
Speaker 4: two toundies, eight interceptions, still MVP numbers, but there's a

292
00:13:44,600 --> 00:13:47,200
Speaker 4: lot of Drake maychatter. Now is he your MVP? I

293
00:13:47,200 --> 00:13:50,760
Speaker 4: want to just point out four quick games according.

294
00:13:50,440 --> 00:13:53,400
Speaker 2: To memes, he's the league leader, and memes never lie.

295
00:13:53,640 --> 00:13:56,200
Speaker 2: Memes never lie. Let me get Drake May's your MVP

296
00:13:56,320 --> 00:13:56,800
Speaker 2: as of now.

297
00:13:56,880 --> 00:13:59,240
Speaker 4: Let me hit you with four quick instances where the

298
00:13:59,360 --> 00:14:04,520
Speaker 4: Rams sort of of bluid because you look at the

299
00:14:04,640 --> 00:14:06,720
Speaker 4: NFC going into the playoffs, and Danny, I think you

300
00:14:06,800 --> 00:14:08,800
Speaker 4: agree that no one's scared of the Eagles.

301
00:14:10,720 --> 00:14:14,680
Speaker 5: No, No, maybe they're defense, but not the Eagles offense.

302
00:14:14,760 --> 00:14:16,880
Speaker 4: No one's scared of whoever comes out of that South.

303
00:14:17,000 --> 00:14:19,120
Speaker 4: Whether it's like I said, the Panthers of the Bucks

304
00:14:19,120 --> 00:14:22,160
Speaker 4: that they're at best a five hundred team, and I

305
00:14:22,200 --> 00:14:28,520
Speaker 4: think out of the North, this question marks with green Bay.

306
00:14:28,720 --> 00:14:30,640
Speaker 4: Jordan Love one of those guys that might sit until

307
00:14:30,680 --> 00:14:33,640
Speaker 4: the playoffs. Green Bay looks like, well, what's going on there?

308
00:14:34,520 --> 00:14:37,000
Speaker 4: I think as I'm a Niners fan, so look I'm

309
00:14:37,040 --> 00:14:38,960
Speaker 4: looking at from a perspective of who do I think

310
00:14:39,000 --> 00:14:43,040
Speaker 4: is dangerous? And I think I think I think watching

311
00:14:43,080 --> 00:14:45,680
Speaker 4: the other night, I think the Bears could very easily

312
00:14:45,720 --> 00:14:46,240
Speaker 4: have won that game.

313
00:14:46,280 --> 00:14:48,760
Speaker 3: The Bears are dangerous. Can I take back what I said?

314
00:14:49,000 --> 00:14:54,040
Speaker 3: You're Niners and Bears offense. It looks dangerous defense on

315
00:14:54,080 --> 00:14:54,520
Speaker 3: both teams.

316
00:14:54,920 --> 00:14:55,360
Speaker 2: Question, it's a.

317
00:14:55,360 --> 00:14:59,440
Speaker 4: Matter of like, couldn't eat Eagles defense stop a Bears

318
00:14:59,480 --> 00:15:01,120
Speaker 4: or forty nine offense, right, but they.

319
00:15:00,960 --> 00:15:04,000
Speaker 3: Could score And if if the forty nine Ers could

320
00:15:04,040 --> 00:15:06,320
Speaker 3: just stop one drive throughout the game, it seems like

321
00:15:06,320 --> 00:15:09,120
Speaker 3: they score every other drive, so they'll be fine scoring,

322
00:15:09,160 --> 00:15:11,200
Speaker 3: but if they can make one stop, they'll win the game.

323
00:15:11,840 --> 00:15:13,520
Speaker 4: It's like an NBA team that you know is gonna

324
00:15:13,520 --> 00:15:15,880
Speaker 4: put up one twenty just like hold your opponent.

325
00:15:15,600 --> 00:15:18,200
Speaker 2: Like you know, just a new turnovers.

326
00:15:18,200 --> 00:15:20,560
Speaker 3: You just need you just need something to happen and

327
00:15:20,600 --> 00:15:23,479
Speaker 3: you win because the defense is questionable.

328
00:15:23,680 --> 00:15:24,440
Speaker 2: But the Rams.

329
00:15:24,480 --> 00:15:27,480
Speaker 4: Let me let me go over the Rams, because you know,

330
00:15:27,640 --> 00:15:30,080
Speaker 4: there's seasons where a team catches a bunch of good breaks.

331
00:15:30,120 --> 00:15:32,440
Speaker 4: We've talked about, you know, Minnesota in the past, and

332
00:15:32,840 --> 00:15:34,480
Speaker 4: the Chiefs were a couple of years you felt like

333
00:15:34,760 --> 00:15:39,600
Speaker 4: every every last minute field goal or turnover, or or

334
00:15:39,840 --> 00:15:43,400
Speaker 4: fortune or good bounce went their way. I think the

335
00:15:43,520 --> 00:15:46,600
Speaker 4: Rams are a really good team that had four games,

336
00:15:47,000 --> 00:15:49,800
Speaker 4: and I know you can't isolate one play, but there's

337
00:15:49,840 --> 00:15:52,640
Speaker 4: four games I've noted where it could have just very

338
00:15:52,640 --> 00:15:54,640
Speaker 4: well went the other way for the Rams. And the

339
00:15:54,760 --> 00:15:58,520
Speaker 4: Rams are gonna end up being a wild card. There's

340
00:15:58,560 --> 00:16:01,800
Speaker 4: still a very danger team in the NFC, I think.

341
00:16:02,520 --> 00:16:05,040
Speaker 4: But right now the Rams are eleven to five. They'll

342
00:16:05,120 --> 00:16:08,400
Speaker 4: probably beat the Cardinals even if they rest people Week eighteen.

343
00:16:08,440 --> 00:16:11,600
Speaker 4: So they're twelve and five team, but four of those

344
00:16:11,640 --> 00:16:17,040
Speaker 4: losses they're lining up for a game winning field goal

345
00:16:18,200 --> 00:16:22,000
Speaker 4: that's totally in range. It's blocked and returned for a

346
00:16:22,040 --> 00:16:24,240
Speaker 4: touchdown by the Eagles. They lose on the last play

347
00:16:24,240 --> 00:16:28,040
Speaker 4: of the game. So Eagles win on a play where

348
00:16:28,080 --> 00:16:30,360
Speaker 4: the Rams were lining up for a game winning field goal.

349
00:16:30,440 --> 00:16:34,360
Speaker 4: So no block in return, you win. You win that game,

350
00:16:34,400 --> 00:16:37,880
Speaker 4: you beat the Eagles. They played my forty nine ers.

351
00:16:37,880 --> 00:16:40,600
Speaker 4: Remember the overtime game where Mac Jones was like limping

352
00:16:40,640 --> 00:16:44,440
Speaker 4: around like like he was a warrior. Yeah, that was

353
00:16:44,440 --> 00:16:47,480
Speaker 4: the game where the Rams fumbled. If you remember the

354
00:16:47,520 --> 00:16:49,880
Speaker 4: forty nine Ers forced to fumble on like the one

355
00:16:50,560 --> 00:16:54,440
Speaker 4: foot line. Went to overtime and they went for it

356
00:16:54,480 --> 00:16:57,040
Speaker 4: on fourth down and the Niners stopped them. So that's

357
00:16:57,040 --> 00:16:59,560
Speaker 4: another game where it's like the Niners just got a

358
00:16:59,560 --> 00:17:03,000
Speaker 4: little lot o Rams did not. That's two games that

359
00:17:03,680 --> 00:17:07,440
Speaker 4: Rams on paper tick should have won that game, Sam

360
00:17:07,520 --> 00:17:10,159
Speaker 4: Donald going for two in overtime, a game where the

361
00:17:10,160 --> 00:17:14,000
Speaker 4: Seahawks somehow found a way to come back force force overtime,

362
00:17:14,040 --> 00:17:17,120
Speaker 4: and then they went for two. And then last night

363
00:17:17,240 --> 00:17:21,399
Speaker 4: we saw it a missed a missed route, a pass interference,

364
00:17:21,440 --> 00:17:24,680
Speaker 4: and pooking the coop on the sideline. Those are four games.

365
00:17:24,440 --> 00:17:24,920
Speaker 2: All hold on.

366
00:17:25,000 --> 00:17:27,040
Speaker 3: I hate to stay for four games, dude. I know

367
00:17:27,119 --> 00:17:28,800
Speaker 3: that you can argue that for every team. I know

368
00:17:28,880 --> 00:17:31,280
Speaker 3: when in baseball you get it right in that sentence.

369
00:17:31,440 --> 00:17:34,760
Speaker 3: You know, the Seahawks found a way to win. That's

370
00:17:34,760 --> 00:17:38,040
Speaker 3: what championship caliber teams do. I'm not saying the Rams

371
00:17:38,040 --> 00:17:40,960
Speaker 3: can't do that, but that's part of the game, right,

372
00:17:41,040 --> 00:17:44,439
Speaker 3: finding a way to win, that's how you do it.

373
00:17:44,480 --> 00:17:45,600
Speaker 2: You got to figure it out.

374
00:17:45,640 --> 00:17:47,800
Speaker 3: And yeah, they've come close, but they didn't pull it

375
00:17:47,840 --> 00:17:52,120
Speaker 3: through Sam Donald. Seahawks, you're forty nine ers. We've seen

376
00:17:52,160 --> 00:17:53,919
Speaker 3: them be able to do that a few times. So

377
00:17:54,000 --> 00:17:56,560
Speaker 3: that's just the difference. Yeah, they've been in every game

378
00:17:57,160 --> 00:17:59,280
Speaker 3: and you can say they're tough, but they haven't been

379
00:17:59,320 --> 00:18:02,000
Speaker 3: able to win. So they're still in the wild card.

380
00:18:02,040 --> 00:18:04,600
Speaker 3: There's still dangerous, they're still very good. They still make

381
00:18:04,640 --> 00:18:07,919
Speaker 3: it very close. They got to get those those plays

382
00:18:07,920 --> 00:18:10,440
Speaker 3: to make it happen, those ways to make it win.

383
00:18:10,640 --> 00:18:12,639
Speaker 3: As you mentioned with Sam Donald, who we're going to

384
00:18:12,720 --> 00:18:15,600
Speaker 3: talk about yeah later on, because you know, where does

385
00:18:15,640 --> 00:18:19,160
Speaker 3: he fall into, where does he fall into the history

386
00:18:19,200 --> 00:18:20,280
Speaker 3: as far as elite quarterback?

387
00:18:20,760 --> 00:18:22,760
Speaker 2: Where do you how do you view Sam Donald?

388
00:18:22,800 --> 00:18:25,600
Speaker 4: Because I think it all depends on this postseason because

389
00:18:25,640 --> 00:18:27,320
Speaker 4: I think that he's like one of the most confusing

390
00:18:27,359 --> 00:18:28,159
Speaker 4: people to assess.

391
00:18:28,160 --> 00:18:31,560
Speaker 3: But dude, Tide's turn and luck starts to bounce the

392
00:18:31,600 --> 00:18:34,480
Speaker 3: other way, and you know, anything could happen. You're right,

393
00:18:34,520 --> 00:18:37,399
Speaker 3: those games could have gone either way. You could say this,

394
00:18:37,560 --> 00:18:40,800
Speaker 3: the Rams are good. I mean, the Rams are dangerous.

395
00:18:41,920 --> 00:18:43,720
Speaker 4: Cheeks just set us up on the on the intro

396
00:18:43,880 --> 00:18:47,080
Speaker 4: chat and he goes, yeah, Rich, I hear what you're saying.

397
00:18:47,119 --> 00:18:50,040
Speaker 4: But he's like if my if my aunt had balls,

398
00:18:50,080 --> 00:18:50,920
Speaker 4: she'd be my uncle.

399
00:18:51,440 --> 00:18:51,640
Speaker 2: Right.

400
00:18:51,920 --> 00:18:53,960
Speaker 3: It sounds a little bit like that, especially when you

401
00:18:54,040 --> 00:18:56,040
Speaker 3: get it bring up the Seahawks in that sense.

402
00:18:56,080 --> 00:18:59,520
Speaker 4: But I'm saying this four very specific incidents where you

403
00:18:59,520 --> 00:19:03,760
Speaker 4: can be like all the Rams were a block away

404
00:19:04,160 --> 00:19:07,520
Speaker 4: or you know, like again, let me just remind they

405
00:19:07,560 --> 00:19:10,400
Speaker 4: don't stink. The Rams do not stinks. These little things

406
00:19:10,440 --> 00:19:11,960
Speaker 4: aren't going their way. Yeah, you could say the good

407
00:19:11,960 --> 00:19:13,679
Speaker 4: team finds a way to win, but sometimes you just

408
00:19:13,800 --> 00:19:16,879
Speaker 4: luck isn't on your side. Again a game winning field

409
00:19:16,880 --> 00:19:19,600
Speaker 4: goal blocked and returned by the Eagles. The forty nine

410
00:19:19,680 --> 00:19:22,959
Speaker 4: Ers beat them in overtime, where the Rams had a

411
00:19:23,000 --> 00:19:27,680
Speaker 4: turnover and a fourth down blown play. The Seahawks beating

412
00:19:27,680 --> 00:19:30,679
Speaker 4: them in overtime, when the Seahawks you know, mounted a

413
00:19:30,680 --> 00:19:34,080
Speaker 4: comeback and then went for two in overtime. And then

414
00:19:34,440 --> 00:19:38,440
Speaker 4: last night when they were favored in Atlanta, came back,

415
00:19:38,480 --> 00:19:40,240
Speaker 4: but then on the last drive, three plays in a

416
00:19:40,320 --> 00:19:42,879
Speaker 4: row just caught some type of like ooh, a no

417
00:19:43,119 --> 00:19:45,359
Speaker 4: call and a wide open receiver and the coup on

418
00:19:45,400 --> 00:19:48,640
Speaker 4: the sideline. I'm just saying this, four instances where this team,

419
00:19:48,680 --> 00:19:50,560
Speaker 4: even if they won two of those games, they'd be

420
00:19:50,560 --> 00:19:52,440
Speaker 4: the one seed and we'd be like, well, Stafford and

421
00:19:52,440 --> 00:19:57,119
Speaker 4: they're going, man, they're headed, They're headed. I'm still scared

422
00:19:57,119 --> 00:19:58,600
Speaker 4: of the Rams, is my point, and I think we

423
00:19:58,720 --> 00:20:00,800
Speaker 4: all should be. If you're a fan of the the Bears,

424
00:20:01,720 --> 00:20:04,800
Speaker 4: the Packers, the Seahawks, the Niners. Do not think that

425
00:20:05,400 --> 00:20:08,880
Speaker 4: the Rams have fallen off. They have just you know, no,

426
00:20:09,400 --> 00:20:09,680
Speaker 4: you know.

427
00:20:09,640 --> 00:20:13,560
Speaker 5: What's crazy, Covino really quick if if at Well wasn't

428
00:20:13,600 --> 00:20:18,119
Speaker 5: interfered with and caught that long pass and the Rams wind.

429
00:20:17,920 --> 00:20:20,879
Speaker 2: Up going into the end zone there in the red zone.

430
00:20:21,040 --> 00:20:23,359
Speaker 5: Then this morning we're talking about how even though he

431
00:20:23,359 --> 00:20:25,879
Speaker 5: had a couple of turnovers, Stafford is your clear MVP.

432
00:20:26,840 --> 00:20:30,920
Speaker 4: That one play that's it. It's that's why we said

433
00:20:30,920 --> 00:20:33,639
Speaker 4: about it. It's just such a game of inches and

434
00:20:33,800 --> 00:20:37,320
Speaker 4: little little bit like Josh Allen. Right, the narrative of

435
00:20:37,400 --> 00:20:40,439
Speaker 4: Josh Allen if he hits, if he hits the receiver

436
00:20:40,520 --> 00:20:43,920
Speaker 4: in the back corner on that two point conversion, We're saying, like, man,

437
00:20:44,480 --> 00:20:47,240
Speaker 4: buffalo of struggle. But man, they found the way to

438
00:20:47,240 --> 00:20:49,320
Speaker 4: beat the Eagles. Josh Allen, Man, what a game or

439
00:20:49,400 --> 00:20:53,440
Speaker 4: fourth quarter? But instead the narrative is, man, but Josh

440
00:20:53,480 --> 00:20:55,359
Speaker 4: Allen missed the guy in the end zone, Like is

441
00:20:55,480 --> 00:20:55,960
Speaker 4: this not.

442
00:20:55,880 --> 00:20:56,880
Speaker 2: The year for them? Time?

443
00:20:56,960 --> 00:20:58,679
Speaker 3: Man, it was just not the year for him. Like

444
00:21:00,600 --> 00:21:03,440
Speaker 3: it's all these little plays. So these little things add

445
00:21:03,520 --> 00:21:07,280
Speaker 3: up and they matter, especially now. That's really what it

446
00:21:07,280 --> 00:21:09,920
Speaker 3: comes down to. I'm just thinking baseball, Rich, how when

447
00:21:09,920 --> 00:21:13,159
Speaker 3: we try to hype baseball up to everybody during the postseason,

448
00:21:13,240 --> 00:21:16,600
Speaker 3: like every pitch counts, man, every little thing matters. That's

449
00:21:16,640 --> 00:21:19,160
Speaker 3: really what we're getting at here, especially as we come

450
00:21:19,200 --> 00:21:22,080
Speaker 3: down to the season. You know, every little play, every

451
00:21:22,080 --> 00:21:24,520
Speaker 3: little thing is speculated out. I mean, they do matter,

452
00:21:24,640 --> 00:21:26,359
Speaker 3: They absolutely matter. Let me ask you this.

453
00:21:26,400 --> 00:21:31,120
Speaker 4: I've I've heard people talk about this, and I'm sure

454
00:21:31,240 --> 00:21:34,000
Speaker 4: LeVar from two Pros and a cup of joe playing

455
00:21:34,040 --> 00:21:36,120
Speaker 4: that being that he played in the NFL and big

456
00:21:36,160 --> 00:21:40,959
Speaker 4: time college star pro bowler, you could probably attest to

457
00:21:41,400 --> 00:21:45,680
Speaker 4: what the differences between the regular season, postseason and then

458
00:21:45,760 --> 00:21:49,560
Speaker 4: like a super Bowl, Because when you do look about,

459
00:21:49,760 --> 00:21:51,760
Speaker 4: when you look at like who's going to the postseason,

460
00:21:53,600 --> 00:21:56,919
Speaker 4: do you say to yourself, well, Jalen Hurts has been

461
00:21:56,960 --> 00:21:59,880
Speaker 4: there in one party and the Niners and that core

462
00:22:00,080 --> 00:22:02,560
Speaker 4: has unfortunately been there a few times we couldn't get

463
00:22:02,600 --> 00:22:05,239
Speaker 4: the job done. Do you give those teams with that

464
00:22:05,400 --> 00:22:09,400
Speaker 4: postseason experience? Stafford won a Super Bowl? Mcveigh's been there.

465
00:22:09,520 --> 00:22:13,240
Speaker 4: Do you give those teams a leg up on Caleb

466
00:22:14,000 --> 00:22:16,320
Speaker 4: and Ben Johnson who are like it's almost like a

467
00:22:16,320 --> 00:22:18,280
Speaker 4: fan base in Chicago that's like just sort of happy

468
00:22:18,320 --> 00:22:20,840
Speaker 4: to now be in the mix and Seattle where it's like, yo,

469
00:22:20,960 --> 00:22:24,479
Speaker 4: no one expected this. Do those teams with experience just

470
00:22:24,520 --> 00:22:28,520
Speaker 4: have something like an intangible level of experience.

471
00:22:29,560 --> 00:22:31,600
Speaker 3: Or do you not buy into that as a fan?

472
00:22:31,960 --> 00:22:34,640
Speaker 3: I buy into it as a player. I'm not sure

473
00:22:34,640 --> 00:22:37,159
Speaker 3: how much it matters, right because there's different teams playing

474
00:22:37,200 --> 00:22:40,639
Speaker 3: behind those guys. But as the leader, as the quarterback

475
00:22:40,640 --> 00:22:42,600
Speaker 3: of the team, I mean I think It does make

476
00:22:42,640 --> 00:22:44,879
Speaker 3: a difference to have been there and done that, to

477
00:22:44,960 --> 00:22:48,600
Speaker 3: have that confidence and poise about you. But I'm not

478
00:22:48,640 --> 00:22:51,280
Speaker 3: sure if as a player and being on the field

479
00:22:51,280 --> 00:22:52,320
Speaker 3: it matters all that much.

480
00:22:54,160 --> 00:22:56,880
Speaker 4: I've heard people argue that that experience means a lot.

481
00:22:56,920 --> 00:22:58,399
Speaker 2: So listen, what we'll talk some rams.

482
00:22:58,520 --> 00:23:02,160
Speaker 4: We're gonna talking about Sam Darnold and again Josh Allen's meat.

483
00:23:02,280 --> 00:23:04,679
Speaker 4: What does that even mean. We'll get to all that

484
00:23:05,040 --> 00:23:08,480
Speaker 4: and your thoughts on the Rams. They I'm arguing that

485
00:23:08,560 --> 00:23:11,600
Speaker 4: they are still arguably one of the most dangerous teams,

486
00:23:11,640 --> 00:23:13,880
Speaker 4: just because you know, again, bad luck is a part

487
00:23:13,920 --> 00:23:14,480
Speaker 4: of sports.

488
00:23:15,200 --> 00:23:15,720
Speaker 2: It really is.

489
00:23:15,760 --> 00:23:18,400
Speaker 4: Sometimes the better team. You can say the better team

490
00:23:18,440 --> 00:23:21,000
Speaker 4: always wins, But sometimes I don't think the better team wins.

491
00:23:21,080 --> 00:23:23,640
Speaker 4: Sometimes I think, you know, a couple of bad bounces,

492
00:23:23,680 --> 00:23:26,679
Speaker 4: and you know, sometimes a guy could fumble Covino, the

493
00:23:26,680 --> 00:23:29,359
Speaker 4: ball bounces right back up into his arms. Sometimes the

494
00:23:29,400 --> 00:23:32,679
Speaker 4: guy fumbles, the ball bounces into into the air. You know,

495
00:23:32,960 --> 00:23:35,680
Speaker 4: sometimes in interceptions, tipped up pick six the other way.

496
00:23:36,000 --> 00:23:38,440
Speaker 3: Otherwise the way part of their comeback was a special

497
00:23:38,480 --> 00:23:41,920
Speaker 3: team's blocked kick that way right back into his arms.

498
00:23:41,920 --> 00:23:42,640
Speaker 2: That was awesome.

499
00:23:42,800 --> 00:23:46,040
Speaker 4: So your thoughts on the rams and who you look

540
00:25:45,320 --> 00:25:48,679
Speaker 4: Hey, we talked a lot about the Rams and are

541
00:25:48,760 --> 00:25:49,920
Speaker 4: they still very dangerous?

542
00:25:50,040 --> 00:25:50,320
Speaker 2: Yes?

543
00:25:51,200 --> 00:25:53,919
Speaker 4: Have they caught some tough breaks in four games? I

544
00:25:53,960 --> 00:25:56,560
Speaker 4: pointed out that could very well have went the other way. Yes,

545
00:25:56,640 --> 00:25:59,320
Speaker 4: But as you said, covenable championship teams find a way

546
00:25:59,359 --> 00:26:00,280
Speaker 4: to finish well.

547
00:26:00,840 --> 00:26:02,760
Speaker 3: Truth is and our listeners said it too on the

548
00:26:03,160 --> 00:26:06,320
Speaker 3: chat Covino and Rich FSR on YouTube. You could say

549
00:26:06,359 --> 00:26:09,760
Speaker 3: that or make this argument for a lot of teams. Yeah,

550
00:26:09,920 --> 00:26:12,679
Speaker 3: you know, had this happen, had that happen. You know,

551
00:26:12,800 --> 00:26:13,840
Speaker 3: it's just the name of the game.

552
00:26:13,880 --> 00:26:15,520
Speaker 4: So it's like at the end of one hundred and

553
00:26:15,560 --> 00:26:18,600
Speaker 4: sixty two game baseball season, you'll be like, if my

554
00:26:18,720 --> 00:26:21,200
Speaker 4: closer didn't blow this game, this game, in that game,

555
00:26:21,680 --> 00:26:23,520
Speaker 4: you could go round the league and every fan.

556
00:26:23,400 --> 00:26:26,240
Speaker 2: Will tell you, well, you don't think my closer blue games?

557
00:26:26,760 --> 00:26:29,359
Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, I mean, but are the Rams good? I

558
00:26:29,440 --> 00:26:31,399
Speaker 3: get what you're trying to say. I'm not debating that

559
00:26:31,440 --> 00:26:33,800
Speaker 3: at all. Yeah they're good, and yeah they were in

560
00:26:33,840 --> 00:26:35,920
Speaker 3: the game, and yeah they made a nice comeback.

561
00:26:35,920 --> 00:26:37,800
Speaker 2: But you know what, all these special teams came through

562
00:26:37,800 --> 00:26:38,280
Speaker 2: a few times.

563
00:26:38,280 --> 00:26:38,520
Speaker 6: You know what.

564
00:26:38,520 --> 00:26:42,000
Speaker 4: It also proves when you see Philadelphia held scoreless in

565
00:26:42,040 --> 00:26:45,000
Speaker 4: the second half and vulnerable offensively even though they were

566
00:26:45,040 --> 00:26:45,560
Speaker 4: great defense.

567
00:26:45,600 --> 00:26:48,400
Speaker 2: When you see the Rams like look at.

568
00:26:48,320 --> 00:26:51,040
Speaker 4: Flat as hell last night, and then you see the

569
00:26:51,160 --> 00:26:54,040
Speaker 4: Niners scored almost fifty points a week, but they can't

570
00:26:54,080 --> 00:26:54,719
Speaker 4: stop anyone.

571
00:26:54,800 --> 00:26:55,680
Speaker 2: Same with the Bears.

572
00:26:56,520 --> 00:26:59,560
Speaker 4: There's there's a sense of I mean, I soundly Chris

573
00:26:59,600 --> 00:27:02,280
Speaker 4: Harrison ten years ago in the Bachelor, this might be

574
00:27:02,320 --> 00:27:03,680
Speaker 4: the most exciting season ever.

575
00:27:04,359 --> 00:27:07,199
Speaker 3: Yeah, I still get the feeling like it's anyone's season.

576
00:27:07,280 --> 00:27:11,680
Speaker 4: Yeah, would you be shocked if I'm gonna throw teams

577
00:27:11,680 --> 00:27:13,400
Speaker 4: out there? Would you be shocked if you saw them

578
00:27:13,440 --> 00:27:17,680
Speaker 4: in San Francisco beginning of February at the Super Bowl.

579
00:27:17,680 --> 00:27:20,560
Speaker 4: If I said, y'all, dude, the Bears and Ben Johnson

580
00:27:20,600 --> 00:27:21,640
Speaker 4: and Caleb make a run.

581
00:27:21,720 --> 00:27:22,719
Speaker 2: No, you wouldn't be shocked.

582
00:27:22,760 --> 00:27:25,280
Speaker 4: If I said, if I said, Seattle, who's been a

583
00:27:25,320 --> 00:27:29,280
Speaker 4: steady consistent all year long, wouldn't be shocked. Stafford and

584
00:27:29,320 --> 00:27:32,880
Speaker 4: the Rams, Niners, and Purty and Kyle Shanahan. You wouldn't

585
00:27:32,880 --> 00:27:35,119
Speaker 4: be shocked by any of this. You wouldn't be shocked

586
00:27:35,160 --> 00:27:38,840
Speaker 4: if the Eagles went back. So that makes it so much.

587
00:27:38,880 --> 00:27:41,320
Speaker 4: I think it's as fun as it's ever been. So,

588
00:27:42,480 --> 00:27:44,239
Speaker 4: I mean, some people are saying on the chat now

589
00:27:44,240 --> 00:27:48,080
Speaker 4: I'm very interactive this morning that the Patriots or Broncos

590
00:27:48,119 --> 00:27:51,280
Speaker 4: guys forget about the NFC. This is an AFC year,

591
00:27:51,400 --> 00:27:55,359
Speaker 4: so we shall see Drake May one of your MVP candidates.

592
00:27:56,160 --> 00:27:58,680
Speaker 4: It would be wild if the Broncos found the way

593
00:27:58,680 --> 00:27:58,960
Speaker 4: to win.

594
00:27:59,080 --> 00:28:01,040
Speaker 5: Yeah, and I was gonna say it, sure feels like

595
00:28:01,080 --> 00:28:04,040
Speaker 5: the Chargers may hand the Broncos the number one seed.

596
00:28:04,000 --> 00:28:07,560
Speaker 4: And the Broncos with that number one seed. Correct me

597
00:28:07,560 --> 00:28:09,760
Speaker 4: if I'm wrong, let me check. I don't want to

598
00:28:09,800 --> 00:28:11,199
Speaker 4: be I don't want to be wrong. We're feeling for

599
00:28:11,280 --> 00:28:12,880
Speaker 4: Dan Patrick crew goodness sake.

600
00:28:13,880 --> 00:28:14,240
Speaker 2: Oh yeap.

601
00:28:14,320 --> 00:28:17,080
Speaker 4: The Broncos finally dropped one at home. Remember they they

602
00:28:17,080 --> 00:28:19,480
Speaker 4: were the only Yeah, we called it. Yeah, we said

603
00:28:19,520 --> 00:28:21,320
Speaker 4: the Jags were going to have a statement game. When

604
00:28:21,320 --> 00:28:24,400
Speaker 4: the Jags went into Denver, by the way, that also

605
00:28:24,520 --> 00:28:29,600
Speaker 4: proves how vulnerable they are. And even though we're like, oh,

606
00:28:29,600 --> 00:28:31,320
Speaker 4: the one seed is gonna be Denver, and you know,

607
00:28:31,400 --> 00:28:32,359
Speaker 4: New England's right.

608
00:28:32,200 --> 00:28:34,840
Speaker 2: There, what about the two teams in the AFC South.

609
00:28:34,880 --> 00:28:38,880
Speaker 4: You're tell me right now you'd be comfortable betting against

610
00:28:39,160 --> 00:28:41,120
Speaker 4: Houston or Jacksonville right now?

611
00:28:42,360 --> 00:28:42,760
Speaker 2: Hell no.

612
00:28:43,080 --> 00:28:45,520
Speaker 4: So I think this is so wide open. We're about

613
00:28:45,520 --> 00:28:48,240
Speaker 4: to get some of the best football we've ever.

614
00:28:48,120 --> 00:28:52,120
Speaker 3: Had, really good teams. There's only one, maybe maybe two

615
00:28:52,240 --> 00:28:56,640
Speaker 3: standout teams. And I'm thinking exactly what you said, Broncos Patriots.

616
00:28:56,640 --> 00:28:59,280
Speaker 3: They've been solid pretty much the whole year. But dude,

617
00:28:59,280 --> 00:29:01,440
Speaker 3: coming up, but we're just not sold on them for

618
00:29:01,480 --> 00:29:05,320
Speaker 3: whatever reason. Well, I'm not saying I disagree with you,

619
00:29:05,400 --> 00:29:09,160
Speaker 3: but when you think about the Broncos, yeah, they just

620
00:29:09,200 --> 00:29:10,600
Speaker 3: sort of snuck by the Chiefs.

621
00:29:11,320 --> 00:29:15,239
Speaker 2: What was that Christmas Day? Right? And before that they

622
00:29:15,320 --> 00:29:20,360
Speaker 2: beat they lost to the Jags convincingly.

623
00:29:20,840 --> 00:29:23,480
Speaker 4: And the Jags and the Texans are your two hottest

624
00:29:23,520 --> 00:29:25,920
Speaker 4: teams out of the FC right now, you could argue,

625
00:29:25,960 --> 00:29:28,720
Speaker 4: So I don't know. I'm I'm I'm real big on

626
00:29:28,800 --> 00:29:31,400
Speaker 4: this being such a fantastic postseason.

627
00:29:31,440 --> 00:29:32,160
Speaker 2: So we're in luck.

628
00:29:32,480 --> 00:29:35,600
Speaker 4: I think we all reaped the benefits of each team

629
00:29:35,640 --> 00:29:39,200
Speaker 4: having a clear vulnerability, but each team having a major

630
00:29:39,240 --> 00:29:42,000
Speaker 4: strength that could whoop someone's ass. So what a great

631
00:29:42,000 --> 00:29:43,360
Speaker 4: postseason we're about to hit on?

632
00:29:43,600 --> 00:29:46,920
Speaker 5: You know how wild this year is. There's a headline

633
00:29:46,960 --> 00:29:51,920
Speaker 5: that says Texans playoff scenario. Texans could wind up being

634
00:29:51,920 --> 00:29:55,160
Speaker 5: the number one seed in the AFC or be out

635
00:29:55,240 --> 00:29:56,040
Speaker 5: of the playoffs.

636
00:29:57,360 --> 00:30:02,960
Speaker 2: Think about that. That's insane. How could this happen? The Texans?

637
00:30:03,360 --> 00:30:06,880
Speaker 2: The text? The Texans Texans? The text?

638
00:30:06,880 --> 00:30:08,840
Speaker 4: I mean, the Texans have already clinched any but there's

639
00:30:08,960 --> 00:30:10,240
Speaker 4: a scenario where they're the ones.

640
00:30:10,720 --> 00:30:13,720
Speaker 5: Yeah, this was this was prior to Yeah, yeah, this

641
00:30:13,840 --> 00:30:17,440
Speaker 5: was prior to last week's games. But that's how crazy

642
00:30:17,480 --> 00:30:19,680
Speaker 5: the year was going into week seventeen.

643
00:30:19,880 --> 00:30:24,880
Speaker 4: Bro, look at just the swing in the strike let

644
00:30:24,920 --> 00:30:27,120
Speaker 4: me you know how the when you see the standings,

645
00:30:27,120 --> 00:30:29,680
Speaker 4: that shows you the streaks, right, Like I know you

646
00:30:29,720 --> 00:30:32,120
Speaker 4: love in baseball communa where it's like last ten games

647
00:30:32,120 --> 00:30:33,400
Speaker 4: gives you a little taste of it, you know in

648
00:30:33,400 --> 00:30:35,240
Speaker 4: the NBA. Also, like how they've done over the last

649
00:30:35,280 --> 00:30:38,040
Speaker 4: couple of weeks. You can't do that in the NFL

650
00:30:38,040 --> 00:30:40,840
Speaker 4: because it's only seventeen games, eight in a row. But

651
00:30:40,960 --> 00:30:43,480
Speaker 4: Houston's won eight in a row. Yeah, the Jags have

652
00:30:43,560 --> 00:30:45,920
Speaker 4: won seven in a row and the Colts have lost

653
00:30:45,960 --> 00:30:51,360
Speaker 4: six in a row. That division over the last six weeks.

654
00:30:50,400 --> 00:30:52,400
Speaker 2: Like just flipped one to eighty.

655
00:30:52,600 --> 00:30:55,440
Speaker 4: Like you you know, it's there was a time where

656
00:30:56,160 --> 00:30:59,880
Speaker 4: you and I and not just us, Dan Patrick, Colin Cowherd,

657
00:31:00,000 --> 00:31:03,040
Speaker 4: all the most respected people on this network. We're all

658
00:31:03,080 --> 00:31:05,360
Speaker 4: talking about you know, Daniel Jones got the juice to

659
00:31:05,360 --> 00:31:08,959
Speaker 4: go all the way, Shane steichen And and Jonathan Taylor

660
00:31:09,040 --> 00:31:11,560
Speaker 4: was rushing for like one hundred and twenty yards a game,

661
00:31:11,600 --> 00:31:13,520
Speaker 4: and now he's rushing for like seventy yards a game.

662
00:31:14,240 --> 00:31:14,720
Speaker 2: There was a.

663
00:31:14,720 --> 00:31:19,640
Speaker 4: Moment where we all shame on us, as George Bush

664
00:31:19,720 --> 00:31:21,160
Speaker 4: once said, fool me once.

665
00:31:21,760 --> 00:31:26,480
Speaker 2: Shame on you can't get full begin We were all.

666
00:31:27,680 --> 00:31:30,600
Speaker 4: Seriously having a conversation on whether or not the Indianapolis

667
00:31:30,600 --> 00:31:32,200
Speaker 4: Colts could win the Super Bowl.

668
00:31:32,360 --> 00:31:34,520
Speaker 2: Someone also on once threw a shoe at George Bush.

669
00:31:34,560 --> 00:31:35,760
Speaker 2: So look out with your statement.

670
00:31:35,880 --> 00:31:38,720
Speaker 3: That is true, throwing a shoe at you, man, Because

671
00:31:39,040 --> 00:31:41,400
Speaker 3: there's plenty of articles out there and plenty of stories

672
00:31:41,800 --> 00:31:45,000
Speaker 3: of the Colts just playing two seasons in one. It

673
00:31:45,040 --> 00:31:49,120
Speaker 3: really was. They had a really great start. Daniel Jones

674
00:31:49,160 --> 00:31:51,600
Speaker 3: goes down. They were struggling a little bit before that,

675
00:31:52,000 --> 00:31:53,880
Speaker 3: and they've been struggling ever since.

676
00:31:54,040 --> 00:31:56,440
Speaker 4: Seven in a row, Tokyoki, six in a row, six

677
00:31:56,560 --> 00:31:58,400
Speaker 4: losses in a row. Tokyoki hit us up and he

678
00:31:58,440 --> 00:32:01,360
Speaker 4: goes the cult season. It's like that famous horse meme

679
00:32:01,400 --> 00:32:03,560
Speaker 4: where one side is drawn perfect and the other side

680
00:32:03,600 --> 00:32:07,920
Speaker 4: is drawn by a toddler. Yeah, that's the Cult season.

681
00:32:08,240 --> 00:32:10,280
Speaker 4: It really is, like, how could you be seven to

682
00:32:10,320 --> 00:32:11,960
Speaker 4: one and then eight and two. At one point, you know,

683
00:32:12,000 --> 00:32:13,520
Speaker 4: you win one, you lose one, and now all of

684
00:32:13,520 --> 00:32:16,040
Speaker 4: a sudden, you're like on the outside looking in. At

685
00:32:16,040 --> 00:32:19,680
Speaker 4: one point when they were seven to one, I believe

686
00:32:19,720 --> 00:32:22,760
Speaker 4: their percentage to make the postseason was ninety eight points

687
00:32:22,760 --> 00:32:26,280
Speaker 4: something like something absurd, where you know you're making it,

688
00:32:26,280 --> 00:32:29,080
Speaker 4: it's got to win. Like when they were eight and two,

689
00:32:30,400 --> 00:32:34,840
Speaker 4: you could argue, you win two more games, you get,

690
00:32:34,880 --> 00:32:37,240
Speaker 4: you get to ten wins, and you're you're likely finding

691
00:32:37,280 --> 00:32:37,560
Speaker 4: a way.

692
00:32:37,680 --> 00:32:39,680
Speaker 2: They can't even they can't even put it together, dude,

693
00:32:41,320 --> 00:32:43,160
Speaker 2: I mean, look at the desperate measures.

694
00:32:43,480 --> 00:32:47,120
Speaker 3: The Colts had a dude to Steven compete And we

695
00:32:47,280 --> 00:32:50,680
Speaker 3: said it yesterday and everyone's saying it. Philip Rivers did

696
00:32:50,680 --> 00:32:55,240
Speaker 3: everything he could. He did everything he could. Their defense

697
00:32:55,280 --> 00:32:57,600
Speaker 3: couldn't really step up. He did everything he could keep

698
00:32:57,640 --> 00:32:59,400
Speaker 3: the the.

699
00:33:00,240 --> 00:33:02,400
Speaker 2: In the game really to give him a puncher's chance.

700
00:33:02,640 --> 00:33:05,160
Speaker 4: You know, as I as I look forward to the

701
00:33:05,160 --> 00:33:07,920
Speaker 4: wild card weekend, Danny G I'm not looking past the

702
00:33:07,960 --> 00:33:09,320
Speaker 4: week E team because says a hell of a lot

703
00:33:09,320 --> 00:33:11,920
Speaker 4: of great football, including you know, we'll talk about all

704
00:33:11,960 --> 00:33:17,000
Speaker 4: these games. You gotta keep your eye on nine or Seahawks, Ravens, Steelers,

705
00:33:17,400 --> 00:33:21,080
Speaker 4: I mean Saturday God, Panthers, Bucks.

706
00:33:21,240 --> 00:33:22,440
Speaker 2: I'm not looking past all that.

707
00:33:22,880 --> 00:33:25,160
Speaker 5: I can't wait, can't wait to see what Herbert's gonna do.

708
00:33:25,600 --> 00:33:27,080
Speaker 2: As he just sits there and chills.

709
00:33:28,160 --> 00:33:31,360
Speaker 4: I I do want to say that, I, by the way.

710
00:33:31,240 --> 00:33:32,960
Speaker 2: Is that is that a smart move? I know we're

711
00:33:33,000 --> 00:33:35,320
Speaker 2: gonna get to that, but like, what are your thoughts?

712
00:33:35,640 --> 00:33:37,880
Speaker 4: Well, you know, say, you know, say that we're gonna

713
00:33:37,880 --> 00:33:39,840
Speaker 4: get to who's sitting and who's resting and whether or

714
00:33:39,880 --> 00:33:42,040
Speaker 4: not it's a good idea next. But I want to

715
00:33:42,040 --> 00:33:45,640
Speaker 4: point out that I assume, and this is my bad assumption.

716
00:33:45,720 --> 00:33:47,880
Speaker 4: This is you know, what are they miss You assume

717
00:33:47,880 --> 00:33:49,880
Speaker 4: even an assay, you and me, that old stupid statement.

718
00:33:50,240 --> 00:33:54,280
Speaker 4: I assume way too often that other people revolve their

719
00:33:54,320 --> 00:33:58,080
Speaker 4: weekends around football, Like I do you ever notice how

720
00:33:58,120 --> 00:34:00,360
Speaker 4: stuff keeps popping up on your calendar? And you does

721
00:34:00,440 --> 00:34:02,920
Speaker 4: no one care as much as I do? Like Saturday

722
00:34:03,280 --> 00:34:07,080
Speaker 4: January tenth or eleventh, like people plan things And I'm like, yeah,

723
00:34:07,080 --> 00:34:09,760
Speaker 4: that's like wildcar weekend or divisional weekend. In my mind,

724
00:34:09,840 --> 00:34:12,600
Speaker 4: January is designated like the weekends.

725
00:34:12,880 --> 00:34:13,759
Speaker 2: Don't bother me.

726
00:34:14,040 --> 00:34:17,359
Speaker 4: It's NFL playoffs in January leading up to the Super Bowl.

727
00:34:17,920 --> 00:34:20,080
Speaker 2: Do you want to I guess the answer here?

728
00:34:20,080 --> 00:34:22,520
Speaker 3: I'm with you, Rich, I completely agree, I'm like, what

729
00:34:22,560 --> 00:34:25,279
Speaker 3: the heck's going on? I'm not my Mayni. Life still

730
00:34:25,320 --> 00:34:27,719
Speaker 3: has to move forward. I'm not a maniac.

731
00:34:27,800 --> 00:34:30,840
Speaker 4: But like when someone's like, yeah, we're having tiledged birthday party,

00:36:47,080 --> 00:36:48,400
Speaker 3: having a grand live.

780
00:36:52,440 --> 00:36:52,480
Speaker 4: O.

781
00:36:52,680 --> 00:36:53,520
Speaker 2: What's going on there?

782
00:36:53,719 --> 00:36:59,239
Speaker 4: Oh, nothing, It's just we forget how quickly you know

783
00:37:00,200 --> 00:37:02,839
Speaker 4: of sports where a year moves along, Like I saw

784
00:37:02,880 --> 00:37:05,920
Speaker 4: someone recap all the big stories and headlines from twenty

785
00:37:05,960 --> 00:37:09,760
Speaker 4: twenty five, and some of these things I totally forgot happened,

786
00:37:09,800 --> 00:37:12,120
Speaker 4: just because it seems like a long time ago, but

787
00:37:12,160 --> 00:37:16,480
Speaker 4: it's it's been this year, but it was NFL moments

788
00:37:16,520 --> 00:37:18,640
Speaker 4: like oh, I'll never forget. It's like I'll never forget

789
00:37:18,680 --> 00:37:22,719
Speaker 4: Week one through five, Baker Mayfield, I'll never forget, you know,

790
00:37:24,719 --> 00:37:26,799
Speaker 4: first half of the year, Jonathan Taylor, and it's just

791
00:37:26,840 --> 00:37:29,880
Speaker 4: all like all the highs and lows of an NFL season,

792
00:37:29,960 --> 00:37:32,520
Speaker 4: Like I'll never I'll never forget weeks five and six,

793
00:37:32,640 --> 00:37:36,080
Speaker 4: Kendrick Bourne, I'll never forget Trey McBride at the one

794
00:37:36,080 --> 00:37:38,320
Speaker 4: point of the season, Like there were there were moments

795
00:37:38,360 --> 00:37:40,920
Speaker 4: in the season that feel like a different season because

796
00:37:41,560 --> 00:37:44,000
Speaker 4: narratives change week to week to week, and we've talked

797
00:37:44,000 --> 00:37:44,320
Speaker 4: about that.

798
00:37:44,360 --> 00:37:46,759
Speaker 3: I think we were saying Daniel Jones MVP at one

799
00:37:46,800 --> 00:37:50,040
Speaker 3: point and back, oh, we were definitely saying Mayfield MVP

800
00:37:50,160 --> 00:37:52,239
Speaker 3: at one point. And now they lost four in a row.

801
00:37:52,280 --> 00:37:54,920
Speaker 3: It's like their season fell apart two. So yeah, it's

802
00:37:55,000 --> 00:37:59,279
Speaker 3: it's it's a short but long season. Manything could happened. No,

803
00:37:59,640 --> 00:38:00,920
Speaker 3: they get no doubt.

804
00:38:00,960 --> 00:38:02,800
Speaker 4: Now let's go to a couple of phone calls about

805
00:38:03,440 --> 00:38:05,560
Speaker 4: the NFL's we head to the playoffs.

806
00:38:05,080 --> 00:38:07,920
Speaker 2: And I know you and I.

807
00:38:06,880 --> 00:38:10,759
Speaker 4: Had thoughts on resting players and like this. This has

808
00:38:10,920 --> 00:38:13,239
Speaker 4: been a conversation every year and it always comes up

809
00:38:13,320 --> 00:38:15,279
Speaker 4: like the pros and cons and.

810
00:38:15,320 --> 00:38:15,879
Speaker 2: Is it right?

811
00:38:16,000 --> 00:38:18,480
Speaker 4: Is it a boss move or a buns? Yeah, so

812
00:38:18,800 --> 00:38:21,040
Speaker 4: let's say how to Kevin in Ohio? What's up keV?

813
00:38:22,520 --> 00:38:23,480
Speaker 8: Hey, guys, how's it going?

814
00:38:23,520 --> 00:38:23,680
Speaker 6: Well?

815
00:38:23,680 --> 00:38:25,720
Speaker 2: Good man? What's up? Well?

816
00:38:25,840 --> 00:38:28,680
Speaker 8: First off, you can't leave the five o'clock time side,

817
00:38:28,719 --> 00:38:29,680
Speaker 8: I need you on the way home.

818
00:38:29,800 --> 00:38:31,959
Speaker 2: Okay, we're here, able to hear you right now.

819
00:38:33,080 --> 00:38:37,759
Speaker 8: Two quick things. One from yesterday, didn't you hear from

820
00:38:37,760 --> 00:38:41,440
Speaker 8: Brady Bunch never played ball in the house? And second,

821
00:38:41,560 --> 00:38:45,280
Speaker 8: this NFL playoff doesn't have a villain, like, we can't

822
00:38:45,480 --> 00:38:48,600
Speaker 8: there's not really anybody aside from personal hatred. Like I'm

823
00:38:48,640 --> 00:38:50,880
Speaker 8: a Lions fan, so if the stadium krembles on the

824
00:38:50,880 --> 00:38:54,719
Speaker 8: bears of the Packers, I'm alright with it. But aside

825
00:38:54,719 --> 00:38:56,960
Speaker 8: from that, there's not really a villain.

826
00:38:57,000 --> 00:38:59,640
Speaker 3: There's no why there's no there's no villain because there's

827
00:38:59,640 --> 00:39:02,520
Speaker 3: no one that hatable and and everyone seems.

828
00:39:02,239 --> 00:39:05,160
Speaker 2: Or appears to be vulnerable, and that's really it.

829
00:39:05,400 --> 00:39:07,640
Speaker 4: I guess the closest thing to a villain is you know,

830
00:39:07,800 --> 00:39:12,440
Speaker 4: Eagles and Philadelphia fans, you know, maybe aren't the you know,

831
00:39:12,560 --> 00:39:14,120
Speaker 4: other people don't love him so much, so I don't

832
00:39:14,120 --> 00:39:15,839
Speaker 4: think anyone's like man, I would love to see an

833
00:39:15,880 --> 00:39:19,160
Speaker 4: Eagles repeat. Besides that, I feel like every other team,

834
00:39:19,239 --> 00:39:21,279
Speaker 4: like even as a Niners fan, I know they have

835
00:39:21,280 --> 00:39:23,279
Speaker 4: a legacy, but they haven't once in Steve Young in

836
00:39:23,280 --> 00:39:27,759
Speaker 4: the nineties. So every story for every team feels like

837
00:39:27,840 --> 00:39:30,480
Speaker 4: there's a cool storyline, like, oh, Sam Darnold with the

838
00:39:30,520 --> 00:39:33,480
Speaker 4: Seahawks gets over the hump, Josh Allen finally wins one,

839
00:39:33,800 --> 00:39:36,840
Speaker 4: the Patriots bounce back with Drake May after a dynasty,

840
00:39:36,920 --> 00:39:40,680
Speaker 4: Like every team has a storyline that wouldn't really bum

841
00:39:40,760 --> 00:39:41,160
Speaker 4: you out.

842
00:39:41,920 --> 00:39:44,520
Speaker 2: Aaron Rodgers wins one with the Steelers.

843
00:39:44,560 --> 00:39:47,600
Speaker 3: I mean unlikely, but again every storyline, you're right, there

844
00:39:47,640 --> 00:39:50,080
Speaker 3: is no villain. That's a great point, keV. Let's go

845
00:39:50,120 --> 00:39:56,160
Speaker 3: to Mitch and Jersey. IMIg happy, No problem, man, what's up.

846
00:39:58,840 --> 00:40:01,960
Speaker 6: These NFL game It's perfect, don't any more teams. I

847
00:40:02,040 --> 00:40:05,160
Speaker 6: like the first weekend and championship is awesome. That in

848
00:40:05,200 --> 00:40:07,799
Speaker 6: the super Bowl. Usually, I was kind of hoping to

849
00:40:07,840 --> 00:40:10,279
Speaker 6: be forty nine ers and bos long because I'm I

850
00:40:10,360 --> 00:40:12,080
Speaker 6: like the bolls of others. I kind of pulled them

851
00:40:12,080 --> 00:40:14,319
Speaker 6: for the forty nine ers, and I wish they go

852
00:40:14,400 --> 00:40:16,200
Speaker 6: back to most of these college football games, you know,

853
00:40:16,320 --> 00:40:18,919
Speaker 6: thirty first and thirty Why is USC playing so late

854
00:40:19,160 --> 00:40:23,120
Speaker 6: nine o'clock tonight? They were top sixteen, almost made the playoffs.

855
00:40:23,160 --> 00:40:26,600
Speaker 6: Twelve is a good number, and nine o'clock it's it's ridiculous,

856
00:40:26,600 --> 00:40:28,319
Speaker 6: you know, the sunrise and eat come on?

857
00:40:28,600 --> 00:40:32,440
Speaker 4: I know, you know, I I think, uh, I think, well,

00:40:32,440 --> 00:40:33,479
Speaker 4: the Super Bowl is fun.

859
00:40:33,840 --> 00:40:34,640
Speaker 2: I think would you.

860
00:40:34,600 --> 00:40:37,600
Speaker 4: Agree that divisional weekend might be the best weekend of football? Right?

861
00:40:38,000 --> 00:40:40,759
Speaker 4: Divisional weekend is where it's at even wildcard now with
