The Falcons sort of through a 0:01:36.400 --> 0:01:39.000 little wrench in the plans of a few teams in 0:01:39.040 --> 0:01:42.400 the NFC. We're gonna talk about Josh Allen's meet today. 0:01:42.760 --> 0:01:46.959 What we're gonna talk about some legends that celebrated birthday today. 0:01:47.840 --> 0:01:49.960 Sam Darnold. I have a theory on him, but let's 0:01:50.040 --> 0:01:54.720 let's dive into it. The Rams last night, truth be told, 0:01:55.960 --> 0:01:58.960 it's that taint of the holiday season. No one's really 0:01:59.000 --> 0:02:00.800 honed in and it was a one day night game 0:02:00.880 --> 0:02:06.040 that didn't have much significance on paper. Because the NFC West, 0:02:06.440 --> 0:02:09.120 we all know the winner of the forty nine or 0:02:09.200 --> 0:02:11.040 Seahawks has. 0:02:10.919 --> 0:02:14.240 Your one seed. Yeah, so the Rams are chilling there. 0:02:14.440 --> 0:02:16.200 In fact, there's been rumors are they going to shut 0:02:16.240 --> 0:02:20.560 down DeVonta Adams until the playoffs. There's a sense of, well, 0:02:20.600 --> 0:02:22.400 there's really not that much on the line tonight. So 0:02:22.960 --> 0:02:25.360 I didn't hone into the beginning of the game. I 0:02:25.400 --> 0:02:27.280 was checking on my phone. I was grabbing some food, 0:02:27.880 --> 0:02:30.760 and I'm like, I have seven nothing? Who fourteen nothing? 0:02:31.200 --> 0:02:35.560 Oh? Hold now wait, twenty one nothing Falcons. 0:02:35.800 --> 0:02:39.640 Then I'm looking at the box garm like it's anyone playing, 0:02:39.680 --> 0:02:41.480 Like what is what's going on in your defense? 0:02:41.560 --> 0:02:44.639 That all happen kind of quick. Yeah, they came out 0:02:44.639 --> 0:02:46.040 and took charge of the game, for sure. 0:02:47.320 --> 0:02:50.200 I couldn't believe my eyes. But I'm like, twenty one nothing. 0:02:50.240 --> 0:02:53.120 And then they're mounting a comeback, which a better team 0:02:53.200 --> 0:02:55.560 usually does. They'll find a way to find their way 0:02:55.560 --> 0:02:59.920 back in. And here we are, end of the game. 0:03:00.360 --> 0:03:04.760 Falcons go ahead field goal and you're thinking, man, the 0:03:04.800 --> 0:03:08.760 Rams are gonna drop one, and and then you realize, well, 0:03:08.919 --> 0:03:11.800 Matthew Stafford does have a little time on the clock. 0:03:12.840 --> 0:03:15.840 And I feel like, three plays in a row they 0:03:15.840 --> 0:03:18.919 had an opportunity. Do you not feel the same way? 0:03:19.520 --> 0:03:22.440 There was three controversial plays in a row for sure. 0:03:23.560 --> 0:03:27.760 First Stafford just misses a wide receiver that gets open, 0:03:27.840 --> 0:03:32.120 like like big time open, like miss is by a 0:03:32.160 --> 0:03:33.959 step and a half and you're like, oh my god, 0:03:34.000 --> 0:03:35.320 that could have been for six. 0:03:36.280 --> 0:03:41.360 All right, next play, I think, yeah, I think he 0:03:41.400 --> 0:03:43.720 threw it in the right spot. The runner the receiver 0:03:43.880 --> 0:03:47.880 just didn't get there, yeah quick enough, Like the ball 0:03:47.960 --> 0:03:48.280 was there. 0:03:48.360 --> 0:03:49.000 It was close. 0:03:49.080 --> 0:03:51.520 It could have happened. Maybe the timing was off a 0:03:51.520 --> 0:03:52.520 little bit, but yeah, it was. 0:03:52.560 --> 0:03:55.320 It was there, could have could have went their way 0:03:55.360 --> 0:03:57.480 but didn't. Then you see. 0:03:59.640 --> 0:04:02.560 Ah appearance that doesn't get called, and you're like, oh, 0:04:03.240 --> 0:04:04.240 it was like Danny g. 0:04:04.400 --> 0:04:06.960 You were texting us like yo, arm was held down man. 0:04:08.040 --> 0:04:13.440 To be fair, when it happened, it was close. It happened, 0:04:13.920 --> 0:04:15.320 they were saying in real time. 0:04:15.440 --> 0:04:17.680 It was hard to see, but it was really noticeable 0:04:17.720 --> 0:04:20.960 for us at home that that was passing question, no doubt. 0:04:21.040 --> 0:04:23.440 Actually, if you're a judge on the field, you should 0:04:23.440 --> 0:04:25.159 be able to maybe spot that. 0:04:25.320 --> 0:04:29.640 Yeah, obvious, those twice Rich It was like almost two 0:04:29.680 --> 0:04:31.360 times that happened on that same play. 0:04:31.560 --> 0:04:35.240 Those those type of plays bang bang. If it gets called, 0:04:35.279 --> 0:04:37.440 you're not shocked. But if it doesn't get called, you're like, oh, 0:04:37.760 --> 0:04:39.159 could have been, but it. 0:04:39.200 --> 0:04:41.240 Made it obvious too. It was it was like a 0:04:41.440 --> 0:04:44.400 one handed grab and it didn't have to be. The 0:04:44.480 --> 0:04:46.919 only reason it was one handed grab is because his 0:04:47.120 --> 0:04:48.160 other arm was being held. 0:04:48.480 --> 0:04:50.760 So you're like, all right, those are two chances where 0:04:50.760 --> 0:04:52.720 if your rams it was kind of obvious. If your 0:04:52.760 --> 0:04:56.520 rams are You're like, oh damn, that's two opportunities squandered. 0:04:56.839 --> 0:05:00.599 Then Buka Nakua, who was one of the coolst dudes. 0:05:00.640 --> 0:05:01.960 We've had him on the show a couple times in 0:05:02.000 --> 0:05:04.440 the last year. What a competitor, What a competitor, What 0:05:04.520 --> 0:05:07.279 a real fun nice guy. I'm a big fan of Pooka. 0:05:08.400 --> 0:05:11.920 Here he is making one of the most ridiculous possible 0:05:11.960 --> 0:05:14.520 catches you've seen in your life. 0:05:14.680 --> 0:05:17.279 Again, this guy's hands are unbelievable. 0:05:17.120 --> 0:05:22.360 And all the little movement and it goes from circus 0:05:22.400 --> 0:05:24.760 sideline catch field goal range two. 0:05:26.080 --> 0:05:29.440 Runner was out of you know, you see what was out? 0:05:29.480 --> 0:05:32.680 You know they looked like such an amazing catch, but 0:05:32.760 --> 0:05:33.239 it wasn't. 0:05:33.839 --> 0:05:37.800 And here we are, games over and I wanted to 0:05:37.800 --> 0:05:38.479 just start the show. 0:05:38.560 --> 0:05:39.760 Rich, I do want to make this clear. 0:05:39.839 --> 0:05:42.280 Yeah they got the call, right, I mean, yeah, if 0:05:42.320 --> 0:05:45.640 you weren't watching, You're casually watching. They got the call right, 0:05:45.760 --> 0:05:49.360 but from first glance it looked like he had it. 0:05:49.360 --> 0:05:50.360 It was sort of pulled. 0:05:50.360 --> 0:05:55.440 It was again props to their deceiving receiving team defensive team, 0:05:55.440 --> 0:05:56.719 because it was pulled from his hands. 0:05:56.839 --> 0:05:58.919 Yeah, aren't there times when you'll be like, yeah, I 0:05:58.960 --> 0:06:03.400 just give it to him. Yeah, credible stylistically, Like in 0:06:03.440 --> 0:06:06.039 my mind, I'm like, it was such a good almost catch. 0:06:06.400 --> 0:06:08.679 I know that's not how the games played, but this party, 0:06:08.720 --> 0:06:10.679 that's like, ID give it to him? I mean, Jesus, 0:06:11.000 --> 0:06:13.240 the guy had on his way down. It was sort 0:06:13.240 --> 0:06:16.400 of pulled out for a split ridiculous and. 0:06:16.480 --> 0:06:18.800 Right before it got pulled out and knocked out there 0:06:18.800 --> 0:06:21.919 at the very end of the play, he squeezed that 0:06:22.120 --> 0:06:25.920 like a NERF football with one big paw one. 0:06:26.080 --> 0:06:30.040 Yeah, that would snag, no doubt. That would have been 0:06:30.120 --> 0:06:31.159 the catch of the year. 0:06:31.680 --> 0:06:34.240 So I come in here this morning to let the 0:06:34.240 --> 0:06:37.720 world know I'd still be very scared of the Rams. 0:06:37.800 --> 0:06:40.599 Let me explain why I'm a Niners fan. We're looking 0:06:40.640 --> 0:06:43.560 at the NFC as a very wide open place. You 0:06:43.640 --> 0:06:46.920 got the Eagles, who Jalen Hurts didn't throw for one 0:06:47.000 --> 0:06:47.400 yard in the. 0:06:47.400 --> 0:06:48.400 Second half the other day. 0:06:48.520 --> 0:06:51.400 I don't know if anyone Kumino is convinced about your 0:06:51.440 --> 0:06:53.200 defending champs to Philadelphia Eagles. 0:06:53.200 --> 0:06:54.360 That's no one's like. 0:06:54.320 --> 0:06:56.440 Well, they got a clear path. I don't think anyone's 0:06:56.480 --> 0:07:01.080 thinking that the Bucks Panthers there's a little wrinkle put 0:07:01.120 --> 0:07:02.640 in that because of last night. I don't know if 0:07:02.640 --> 0:07:04.599 you realize if you're a schedule watching and all that 0:07:04.640 --> 0:07:07.279 stuff like I am, we've been talking about the little 0:07:07.600 --> 0:07:10.760 percentages because the Falcons won last night and no one 0:07:10.760 --> 0:07:13.560 really thought that would happen. Do you know that if 0:07:13.600 --> 0:07:20.400 the Falcons beat the Saints on Sunday, that Panthers Bucks 0:07:20.440 --> 0:07:24.160 game is irrelevant and Carolina would be your division champ 0:07:24.200 --> 0:07:27.680 no matter what. Baker can have the game of his 0:07:27.720 --> 0:07:30.640 life Saturday and be like, man, the Bucks are back 0:07:30.640 --> 0:07:34.040 to five hundred and yet the Panthers would still win 0:07:34.080 --> 0:07:42.600 that division if the Falcons win again on Sunday. 0:07:41.360 --> 0:07:42.440 And that's likely. 0:07:42.560 --> 0:07:44.880 Man, it seems like the Falcons are playing well at 0:07:44.960 --> 0:07:48.600 just the right time. Three in a row now, Cousins 0:07:48.640 --> 0:07:51.520 looking good, Robinson looking unstoppable. 0:07:53.000 --> 0:07:54.280 By the way, I was thinking. 0:07:54.200 --> 0:07:57.320 Yesterday, if you were to put a top three running 0:07:57.360 --> 0:08:01.760 back out there, who would it be? Just want top three? 0:08:01.960 --> 0:08:05.960 Top three? I mean, obviously your boy Christian mccafcaffrey. Would 0:08:05.960 --> 0:08:07.520 you still put Saquon Barkley in there? 0:08:07.560 --> 0:08:07.880 I would. 0:08:08.200 --> 0:08:10.240 That's a good one, I think. And then the way 0:08:10.320 --> 0:08:12.840 Derek Henry was Derek Derek Henry the other day. But 0:08:12.880 --> 0:08:14.400 then you could say, if you talk about the first 0:08:14.400 --> 0:08:16.560 half of the year, Jonathan Taylor, but not second half 0:08:16.560 --> 0:08:16.880 of the year. 0:08:16.960 --> 0:08:18.840 Not second half of the year Jonathan Taylor. 0:08:18.880 --> 0:08:21.080 No. Yeah, I was thinking all this because you know 0:08:21.080 --> 0:08:26.000 why I was thinking that, because Saquon Barkley and your boy, 0:08:26.080 --> 0:08:28.920 Christian McCaffrey are I think it's a State farm commercial. 0:08:28.920 --> 0:08:30.360 They're in a commercial. 0:08:29.840 --> 0:08:33.040 Together, and I'm thinking, well, who else could have been 0:08:33.040 --> 0:08:37.199 in that commercial? They're at a commercial side by side, and 0:08:37.240 --> 0:08:39.480 they're pretty much the same size, and I was sizing 0:08:39.480 --> 0:08:41.920 them up, and I'm like, Derek Henry would beast over 0:08:41.960 --> 0:08:42.520 those guys. 0:08:42.800 --> 0:08:44.720 But who would be the top three? Anyway? 0:08:44.880 --> 0:08:46.840 Just a random side thought, well, you know what, the 0:08:46.840 --> 0:08:49.839 Falcons look good. Back to that point, it seems like 0:08:49.880 --> 0:08:52.680 they're putting it together at the right time. 0:08:52.760 --> 0:08:54.839 Wells kirk Cousins proved that he has a little left 0:08:54.880 --> 0:08:56.480 in the tank or what I mean I think so, 0:08:56.559 --> 0:09:00.560 I think they're just playing well under him. He's leading team. Well, 0:09:00.600 --> 0:09:02.679 they're seven and nine, three in a row. But I 0:09:03.120 --> 0:09:05.240 want you to keep I want to keep something in mine. No, 0:09:05.760 --> 0:09:09.079 you're like the Falcons. If they win, they play the Saints, 0:09:09.080 --> 0:09:11.080 who you're like, the Saints are trashed. The Saints have 0:09:11.120 --> 0:09:15.040 won four in a row, exactly like the Saints are. 0:09:15.200 --> 0:09:18.079 You know, a very young quarterback, Shuck is being talked 0:09:18.080 --> 0:09:20.160 about as offensive rookie of the year. 0:09:20.320 --> 0:09:21.480 Yeah, there's six and ten down. 0:09:22.440 --> 0:09:26.079 I bet you, hit, I bet you that if there 0:09:26.120 --> 0:09:28.760 was one more month of the season, that division could 0:09:28.800 --> 0:09:33.360 flip because the Bucks have fallen apart. Carolina is showing 0:09:33.400 --> 0:09:37.199 that they're like a five hundred team. But the Saints 0:09:37.200 --> 0:09:40.080 and the Falcons, who are both under five hundred, are 0:09:40.120 --> 0:09:42.679 the two hottest teams in that division. So I think 0:09:42.720 --> 0:09:47.079 that division is a disaster. So yeah, just it's interesting 0:09:47.120 --> 0:09:50.880 to see what team will sort of back into that 0:09:50.880 --> 0:09:53.520 that playoff spot. Someone's going to win it at eight 0:09:53.559 --> 0:09:55.079 and nine or nine and eight. Like we said, it's 0:09:55.080 --> 0:09:55.760 a bad division. 0:09:55.800 --> 0:09:59.319 There's a scenario where the Panthers could host a wild 0:09:59.440 --> 0:10:01.319 card game and they'd be what eight and nine? 0:10:01.400 --> 0:10:03.240 Yeah? Did they could be eight and nine. 0:10:04.120 --> 0:10:06.080 You guys have a problem with a team that's under 0:10:06.080 --> 0:10:08.040 five hundred hosting a playoff game. 0:10:08.160 --> 0:10:11.679 We've talked about this on our regular It doesn't look out, 0:10:12.080 --> 0:10:12.480 it doesn't. 0:10:12.559 --> 0:10:13.640 You make it, You make it right. 0:10:13.679 --> 0:10:16.560 Yeah, It's almost like, you know, there are times your 0:10:16.559 --> 0:10:18.920 team wins a division in baseball, winning eighty eight to 0:10:19.000 --> 0:10:21.559 ninety games, and you host a better wild card. 0:10:21.640 --> 0:10:22.840 It happens, right, It's just. 0:10:22.840 --> 0:10:28.240 It's and honestly, the way this year has been, it 0:10:28.320 --> 0:10:30.320 kind of would make sense. It kind of would go 0:10:30.440 --> 0:10:32.760 with the whole vibe and feeling of this entire season. 0:10:33.400 --> 0:10:38.600 Interestingly enough, if if things stay the way they are, 0:10:39.480 --> 0:10:43.000 I think that crappy South team, whether it's Carolina or 0:10:43.000 --> 0:10:46.280 the Bucks, would end up hosting like the Rams. It's 0:10:46.320 --> 0:10:48.880 like a better to twelve plus win team, which is 0:10:49.559 --> 0:10:50.880 you know, that's that's the point. 0:10:51.000 --> 0:10:52.079 Do they deserve it? No? 0:10:52.160 --> 0:10:54.440 But it's how you it's how the divisions are set. 0:10:55.960 --> 0:10:58.000 But I wanted to point out how the Rams Couldno. 0:10:58.400 --> 0:11:00.760 Colin in Canada is hit in a su Yeah again, 0:11:00.840 --> 0:11:05.120 the YouTube chat is popping Covino and rich FSR to 0:11:05.200 --> 0:11:07.480 see us live see our tired faces. A lot of 0:11:07.480 --> 0:11:10.720 boozing and schmoozing during the taint of the holidays, He says, 0:11:10.840 --> 0:11:13.240 Cousin through for like one hundred and twenty five yards. 0:11:13.559 --> 0:11:15.760 But yeah, they've been playing solid behind him. I just 0:11:16.160 --> 0:11:18.880 have some good moments. Again, I'm not saying he's the reason. Yeah, 0:11:19.040 --> 0:11:23.720 not saying he's the reason, but you know, leadership, you 0:11:23.720 --> 0:11:24.160 know guy. 0:11:24.840 --> 0:11:25.160 I don't know. 0:11:25.400 --> 0:11:27.600 Maybe I'm trying to just feel good for Kirk Cousins 0:11:27.600 --> 0:11:28.079 for a minute. 0:11:28.200 --> 0:11:28.400 Yeah. 0:11:28.440 --> 0:11:30.400 I mean he's easy to root for, so yeah, I 0:11:30.440 --> 0:11:32.720 am pulling for the guy. Is it coincidence they've been 0:11:32.720 --> 0:11:35.800 winning since he's been playing Willhelm and a Criner Green 0:11:35.960 --> 0:11:38.560 for eight seven seven says I wonder if ten years 0:11:38.600 --> 0:11:42.000 ago that Puka Nakua catch would have been a fair catch. 0:11:42.200 --> 0:11:45.199 I was thinking the same thing, and I was thinking, yes, yes, 0:11:45.440 --> 0:11:48.120 that would have been I think so anyway, and. 0:11:49.679 --> 0:11:50.480 Morning fell as. 0:11:50.360 --> 0:11:53.199 A lot of people Devanty Adams more impactful than I thought. 0:11:53.320 --> 0:11:55.720 That's what Ashley Riolo saying. That's a that's a big sentiment. 0:11:55.840 --> 0:11:58.080 And Danny and I looked it up before the show 0:11:58.640 --> 0:12:00.560 because there's a few guys where you and we're gonna 0:12:00.559 --> 0:12:01.440 get to this later in the show. 0:12:01.440 --> 0:12:03.280 Where as we enter week eighteen. 0:12:03.480 --> 0:12:05.839 You know who's gonna who's gonna rest up and get 0:12:05.880 --> 0:12:08.640 ready for the postseason, and whether or not he's able 0:12:08.640 --> 0:12:10.560 to come back. It appears as though the Rams are 0:12:10.600 --> 0:12:13.840 gonna have Devonte Adams just good to go wildcard weekend. 0:12:14.120 --> 0:12:18.480 There's no point now to push Devonte Adams because there's 0:12:18.480 --> 0:12:21.360 no the Rams path and where they are. 0:12:22.880 --> 0:12:25.440 Is not changing. They're not gonna they can't win the division. 0:12:25.480 --> 0:12:28.800 Whoever wins forty nine ers hosting the Seahawks as your 0:12:28.880 --> 0:12:32.320 division winner and one seed. The Rams are a wildcard regardless. 0:12:32.360 --> 0:12:34.719 So and your point, why I played DeVonta Adams now? 0:12:34.760 --> 0:12:34.920 Right? 0:12:35.400 --> 0:12:38.040 You know, if they're keeping him healthy, why I play 0:12:38.080 --> 0:12:40.679 him now? They're still going to be dangerous as a 0:12:40.679 --> 0:12:42.480 wild card. I'll tell you why don't sleep on the 0:12:42.520 --> 0:12:44.800 Rams because they could have easily pulled away with that game, 0:12:44.840 --> 0:12:47.040 even though they started rough. They had a few bad 0:12:47.120 --> 0:12:52.880 calls or questionable questionable calls, borderline calls where things could 0:12:52.880 --> 0:12:56.040 have been different. So are they as dangerous as we 0:12:56.120 --> 0:12:58.400 think or not at all? Well, I'll tell you what 0:12:58.480 --> 0:12:59.560 seven ninety nine on Fox. 0:12:59.600 --> 0:13:00.480 I agree with Rich. 0:13:00.559 --> 0:13:02.880 I mean I think they could have easily won that game. 0:13:03.360 --> 0:13:06.920 Poka Nakua ultimate competitor. Stafford still doing his thing. He 0:13:07.040 --> 0:13:08.880 was off put it that way on an off night. 0:13:09.200 --> 0:13:11.160 I guess that really sums up on an off night. 0:13:12.000 --> 0:13:13.600 They still almost won that game. 0:13:13.840 --> 0:13:19.479 I mean, Matthew Stafford may have lost points and lost 0:13:19.760 --> 0:13:22.440 you know, his path to the MVP. He had a 0:13:22.480 --> 0:13:24.679 rough couple games over the last month. The Rams dropped 0:13:24.679 --> 0:13:28.240 a couple in a row. Matthew Stafford at one point, 0:13:28.280 --> 0:13:31.600 remember his interception to touchdown ratio was like thirty somethings, 0:13:31.679 --> 0:13:34.480 like a couple interceptions. It was Aaron Rodgers like in 0:13:34.559 --> 0:13:37.640 Aaron Rodgers Prime. He's had a couple games with multiple 0:13:37.640 --> 0:13:40.560 picks over the last month. So now Stafford has forty 0:13:40.559 --> 0:13:44.559 two toundies, eight interceptions, still MVP numbers, but there's a 0:13:44.600 --> 0:13:47.200 lot of Drake maychatter. Now is he your MVP? I 0:13:47.200 --> 0:13:50.760 want to just point out four quick games according. 0:13:50.440 --> 0:13:53.400 To memes, he's the league leader, and memes never lie. 0:13:53.640 --> 0:13:56.200 Memes never lie. Let me get Drake May's your MVP 0:13:56.320 --> 0:13:56.800 as of now. 0:13:56.880 --> 0:13:59.240 Let me hit you with four quick instances where the 0:13:59.360 --> 0:14:04.520 Rams sort of of bluid because you look at the 0:14:04.640 --> 0:14:06.720 NFC going into the playoffs, and Danny, I think you 0:14:06.800 --> 0:14:08.800 agree that no one's scared of the Eagles. 0:14:10.720 --> 0:14:14.680 No, No, maybe they're defense, but not the Eagles offense. 0:14:14.760 --> 0:14:16.880 No one's scared of whoever comes out of that South. 0:14:17.000 --> 0:14:19.120 Whether it's like I said, the Panthers of the Bucks 0:14:19.120 --> 0:14:22.160 that they're at best a five hundred team, and I 0:14:22.200 --> 0:14:28.520 think out of the North, this question marks with green Bay. 0:14:28.720 --> 0:14:30.640 Jordan Love one of those guys that might sit until 0:14:30.680 --> 0:14:33.640 the playoffs. Green Bay looks like, well, what's going on there? 0:14:34.520 --> 0:14:37.000 I think as I'm a Niners fan, so look I'm 0:14:37.040 --> 0:14:38.960 looking at from a perspective of who do I think 0:14:39.000 --> 0:14:43.040 is dangerous? And I think I think I think watching 0:14:43.080 --> 0:14:45.680 the other night, I think the Bears could very easily 0:14:45.720 --> 0:14:46.240 have won that game. 0:14:46.280 --> 0:14:48.760 The Bears are dangerous. Can I take back what I said? 0:14:49.000 --> 0:14:54.040 You're Niners and Bears offense. It looks dangerous defense on 0:14:54.080 --> 0:14:54.520 both teams. 0:14:54.920 --> 0:14:55.360 Question, it's a. 0:14:55.360 --> 0:14:59.440 Matter of like, couldn't eat Eagles defense stop a Bears 0:14:59.480 --> 0:15:01.120 or forty nine offense, right, but they. 0:15:00.960 --> 0:15:04.000 Could score And if if the forty nine Ers could 0:15:04.040 --> 0:15:06.320 just stop one drive throughout the game, it seems like 0:15:06.320 --> 0:15:09.120 they score every other drive, so they'll be fine scoring, 0:15:09.160 --> 0:15:11.200 but if they can make one stop, they'll win the game. 0:15:11.840 --> 0:15:13.520 It's like an NBA team that you know is gonna 0:15:13.520 --> 0:15:15.880 put up one twenty just like hold your opponent. 0:15:15.600 --> 0:15:18.200 Like you know, just a new turnovers. 0:15:18.200 --> 0:15:20.560 You just need you just need something to happen and 0:15:20.600 --> 0:15:23.479 you win because the defense is questionable. 0:15:23.680 --> 0:15:24.440 But the Rams. 0:15:24.480 --> 0:15:27.480 Let me let me go over the Rams, because you know, 0:15:27.640 --> 0:15:30.080 there's seasons where a team catches a bunch of good breaks. 0:15:30.120 --> 0:15:32.440 We've talked about, you know, Minnesota in the past, and 0:15:32.840 --> 0:15:34.480 the Chiefs were a couple of years you felt like 0:15:34.760 --> 0:15:39.600 every every last minute field goal or turnover, or or 0:15:39.840 --> 0:15:43.400 fortune or good bounce went their way. I think the 0:15:43.520 --> 0:15:46.600 Rams are a really good team that had four games, 0:15:47.000 --> 0:15:49.800 and I know you can't isolate one play, but there's 0:15:49.840 --> 0:15:52.640 four games I've noted where it could have just very 0:15:52.640 --> 0:15:54.640 well went the other way for the Rams. And the 0:15:54.760 --> 0:15:58.520 Rams are gonna end up being a wild card. There's 0:15:58.560 --> 0:16:01.800 still a very danger team in the NFC, I think. 0:16:02.520 --> 0:16:05.040 But right now the Rams are eleven to five. They'll 0:16:05.120 --> 0:16:08.400 probably beat the Cardinals even if they rest people Week eighteen. 0:16:08.440 --> 0:16:11.600 So they're twelve and five team, but four of those 0:16:11.640 --> 0:16:17.040 losses they're lining up for a game winning field goal 0:16:18.200 --> 0:16:22.000 that's totally in range. It's blocked and returned for a 0:16:22.040 --> 0:16:24.240 touchdown by the Eagles. They lose on the last play 0:16:24.240 --> 0:16:28.040 of the game. So Eagles win on a play where 0:16:28.080 --> 0:16:30.360 the Rams were lining up for a game winning field goal. 0:16:30.440 --> 0:16:34.360 So no block in return, you win. You win that game, 0:16:34.400 --> 0:16:37.880 you beat the Eagles. They played my forty nine ers. 0:16:37.880 --> 0:16:40.600 Remember the overtime game where Mac Jones was like limping 0:16:40.640 --> 0:16:44.440 around like like he was a warrior. Yeah, that was 0:16:44.440 --> 0:16:47.480 the game where the Rams fumbled. If you remember the 0:16:47.520 --> 0:16:49.880 forty nine Ers forced to fumble on like the one 0:16:50.560 --> 0:16:54.440 foot line. Went to overtime and they went for it 0:16:54.480 --> 0:16:57.040 on fourth down and the Niners stopped them. So that's 0:16:57.040 --> 0:16:59.560 another game where it's like the Niners just got a 0:16:59.560 --> 0:17:03.000 little lot o Rams did not. That's two games that 0:17:03.680 --> 0:17:07.440 Rams on paper tick should have won that game, Sam 0:17:07.520 --> 0:17:10.159 Donald going for two in overtime, a game where the 0:17:10.160 --> 0:17:14.000 Seahawks somehow found a way to come back force force overtime, 0:17:14.040 --> 0:17:17.120 and then they went for two. And then last night 0:17:17.240 --> 0:17:21.399 we saw it a missed a missed route, a pass interference, 0:17:21.440 --> 0:17:24.680 and pooking the coop on the sideline. Those are four games. 0:17:24.440 --> 0:17:24.920 All hold on. 0:17:25.000 --> 0:17:27.040 I hate to stay for four games, dude. I know 0:17:27.119 --> 0:17:28.800 that you can argue that for every team. I know 0:17:28.880 --> 0:17:31.280 when in baseball you get it right in that sentence. 0:17:31.440 --> 0:17:34.760 You know, the Seahawks found a way to win. That's 0:17:34.760 --> 0:17:38.040 what championship caliber teams do. I'm not saying the Rams 0:17:38.040 --> 0:17:40.960 can't do that, but that's part of the game, right, 0:17:41.040 --> 0:17:44.439 finding a way to win, that's how you do it. 0:17:44.480 --> 0:17:45.600 You got to figure it out. 0:17:45.640 --> 0:17:47.800 And yeah, they've come close, but they didn't pull it 0:17:47.840 --> 0:17:52.120 through Sam Donald. Seahawks, you're forty nine ers. We've seen 0:17:52.160 --> 0:17:53.919 them be able to do that a few times. So 0:17:54.000 --> 0:17:56.560 that's just the difference. Yeah, they've been in every game 0:17:57.160 --> 0:17:59.280 and you can say they're tough, but they haven't been 0:17:59.320 --> 0:18:02.000 able to win. So they're still in the wild card. 0:18:02.040 --> 0:18:04.600 There's still dangerous, they're still very good. They still make 0:18:04.640 --> 0:18:07.919 it very close. They got to get those those plays 0:18:07.920 --> 0:18:10.440 to make it happen, those ways to make it win. 0:18:10.640 --> 0:18:12.639 As you mentioned with Sam Donald, who we're going to 0:18:12.720 --> 0:18:15.600 talk about yeah later on, because you know, where does 0:18:15.640 --> 0:18:19.160 he fall into, where does he fall into the history 0:18:19.200 --> 0:18:20.280 as far as elite quarterback? 0:18:20.760 --> 0:18:22.760 Where do you how do you view Sam Donald? 0:18:22.800 --> 0:18:25.600 Because I think it all depends on this postseason because 0:18:25.640 --> 0:18:27.320 I think that he's like one of the most confusing 0:18:27.359 --> 0:18:28.159 people to assess. 0:18:28.160 --> 0:18:31.560 But dude, Tide's turn and luck starts to bounce the 0:18:31.600 --> 0:18:34.480 other way, and you know, anything could happen. You're right, 0:18:34.520 --> 0:18:37.399 those games could have gone either way. You could say this, 0:18:37.560 --> 0:18:40.800 the Rams are good. I mean, the Rams are dangerous. 0:18:41.920 --> 0:18:43.720 Cheeks just set us up on the on the intro 0:18:43.880 --> 0:18:47.080 chat and he goes, yeah, Rich, I hear what you're saying. 0:18:47.119 --> 0:18:50.040 But he's like if my if my aunt had balls, 0:18:50.080 --> 0:18:50.920 she'd be my uncle. 0:18:51.440 --> 0:18:51.640 Right. 0:18:51.920 --> 0:18:53.960 It sounds a little bit like that, especially when you 0:18:54.040 --> 0:18:56.040
