1 00:00:01,320 --> 00:00:15,160 Speaker 1: The volume. This is Straight Fire with Jason McIntire. What 2 00:00:15,400 --> 00:00:19,079 Speaker 1: is up Straight Fire, fam, It's me Jason McIntyre. Straight 3 00:00:19,360 --> 00:00:24,720 Speaker 1: Fire for Monday, October second. It was. It was a 4 00:00:24,760 --> 00:00:27,720 Speaker 1: weekend in the NFL, not a great one for your boy. 5 00:00:28,640 --> 00:00:30,960 Speaker 1: The Jets look competent Sunday night, which was a great 6 00:00:31,000 --> 00:00:32,680 Speaker 1: way to close it out, and they covered the spread 7 00:00:32,880 --> 00:00:36,239 Speaker 1: against the Mighty Chiefs after falling down seventeen nothing. We 8 00:00:36,320 --> 00:00:38,480 Speaker 1: will get to the Jets and Chiefs a little later 9 00:00:38,479 --> 00:00:42,480 Speaker 1: in the podcast. So much happened. Miami Dolphins finally knocked 10 00:00:42,479 --> 00:00:45,680 Speaker 1: off their pedestal. They suffer their first l the forty 11 00:00:45,720 --> 00:00:48,880 Speaker 1: nine Ers pretty clearly. I've established themselves as superstars, and 12 00:00:48,920 --> 00:00:50,479 Speaker 1: I've got a good forty nine Ers take I think 13 00:00:50,479 --> 00:00:52,280 Speaker 1: you'll like. But I'm gonna start with a team that 14 00:00:52,320 --> 00:00:56,080 Speaker 1: took an L and I'm gonna do it because I've 15 00:00:56,120 --> 00:00:59,160 Speaker 1: never liked this franchise. This coach is one that I 16 00:00:59,280 --> 00:01:02,720 Speaker 1: kind of respect, but I'm not a fan of because 17 00:01:02,720 --> 00:01:05,200 Speaker 1: he's beaten the brains out of my New York Jets. 18 00:01:05,360 --> 00:01:08,920 Speaker 1: I think the last fifteen times, Bill Belichick and Mac 19 00:01:09,000 --> 00:01:14,800 Speaker 1: Jones totally laid a massive egg in Dallas on Sunday. 20 00:01:14,880 --> 00:01:17,080 Speaker 1: This is after the Dallas Cowboys just got run out 21 00:01:17,120 --> 00:01:21,080 Speaker 1: of Arizona by the lowly Cardinals. Belichick and Mac Jones 22 00:01:21,480 --> 00:01:25,520 Speaker 1: go to Dallas lose thirty eight to three. They fall 23 00:01:25,560 --> 00:01:28,399 Speaker 1: to one and three. And what's more interesting is this 24 00:01:28,480 --> 00:01:31,600 Speaker 1: is the third straight season Belichick has started one and three. Now, 25 00:01:31,600 --> 00:01:33,080 Speaker 1: I know a lot of the haters will say, but 26 00:01:33,160 --> 00:01:38,759 Speaker 1: Jay Jay Belichick historically uses September as like a training 27 00:01:38,840 --> 00:01:42,640 Speaker 1: ground to see what he's got. He's tinkering. That's fair, 28 00:01:42,680 --> 00:01:45,680 Speaker 1: that's fine. You could do that back in the day 29 00:01:45,760 --> 00:01:48,680 Speaker 1: before Josh Allen was a thing. You could do that, 30 00:01:48,760 --> 00:01:51,720 Speaker 1: before the likes of Tua was an MVP candidate. Joe 31 00:01:51,760 --> 00:01:54,400 Speaker 1: Burrow was getting the Bengals to a Super Bowl. Hell, 32 00:01:54,440 --> 00:01:59,520 Speaker 1: before Aaron Rodgers ventured into the AFC. You can't do 33 00:01:59,600 --> 00:02:02,920 Speaker 1: that Now. At one in three, Patriots look hapless. And 34 00:02:03,000 --> 00:02:05,320 Speaker 1: here's what's even more disturbing. Some of these numbers, folks, 35 00:02:05,680 --> 00:02:08,680 Speaker 1: are a little troubling if you're a big Patriots fan. 36 00:02:08,760 --> 00:02:09,960 Speaker 1: And I know we don't have a lot on this 37 00:02:10,000 --> 00:02:13,639 Speaker 1: podcast because I constantly hate on Boston. So the Patriots 38 00:02:13,680 --> 00:02:16,799 Speaker 1: open the season basically wetting the bed in the first 39 00:02:16,840 --> 00:02:18,760 Speaker 1: quarter against the Eagles and fall down sixteen to nothing 40 00:02:18,880 --> 00:02:22,840 Speaker 1: and lose. They did make a spirited comeback, but they lost. 41 00:02:23,360 --> 00:02:28,560 Speaker 1: Then they fall behind at home against Miami seventeen to three, 42 00:02:28,760 --> 00:02:32,359 Speaker 1: another spirited comeback, good adjustments by Bill, but they lost 43 00:02:33,000 --> 00:02:37,840 Speaker 1: and did not cover. Now you go to Dallas, big spot. 44 00:02:38,080 --> 00:02:41,000 Speaker 1: This is kind of a weakened Dallas team. We know 45 00:02:41,000 --> 00:02:44,880 Speaker 1: they've had their red zone issues which continued, and what happens. 46 00:02:45,600 --> 00:02:48,840 Speaker 1: Belichick and the Patriots find themselves down twenty eight to 47 00:02:48,960 --> 00:02:53,320 Speaker 1: three courtesy of Mac Jones fumbling, did not absorb the pressure. 48 00:02:53,360 --> 00:02:56,160 Speaker 1: Well gets hit from behind, strip scoop and score for 49 00:02:56,240 --> 00:02:59,760 Speaker 1: Van der Esh. And then right after that, like mac 50 00:02:59,840 --> 00:03:03,320 Speaker 1: Joe with an ill advised throw across the field. He 51 00:03:03,360 --> 00:03:05,040 Speaker 1: did it a few plays earlier, got away with it. 52 00:03:05,120 --> 00:03:06,840 Speaker 1: Then he went back to the well, which is you know, 53 00:03:06,960 --> 00:03:12,399 Speaker 1: never ends well. Pick six, Patriots run it back. Patriots 54 00:03:12,440 --> 00:03:14,679 Speaker 1: get the interception run back by the Cowboys, and the 55 00:03:14,919 --> 00:03:18,320 Speaker 1: floodgates are open, and you know, late in the third quarter, 56 00:03:18,360 --> 00:03:21,400 Speaker 1: Belichick waves the white flag. No mos a, Mac, you 57 00:03:21,400 --> 00:03:24,040 Speaker 1: could sit down. Your day's done. Bailey, Zappy get in there. 58 00:03:24,160 --> 00:03:26,519 Speaker 1: This was the third quarter. So not only are the 59 00:03:26,520 --> 00:03:29,160 Speaker 1: Patriots starting one to three again, but they're falling behind 60 00:03:29,160 --> 00:03:31,760 Speaker 1: early in games. And all last year we heard, well 61 00:03:31,800 --> 00:03:34,640 Speaker 1: back Jones doesn't have an offensive coordinator. Matt Patricia is 62 00:03:34,639 --> 00:03:36,800 Speaker 1: a goofball. He stinks. He does no offense. He's a 63 00:03:36,840 --> 00:03:40,160 Speaker 1: historical defensive guy, is a special teams guy. He's a 64 00:03:40,240 --> 00:03:44,600 Speaker 1: rocket scientist, like an actual rocket scientist. Well, who are 65 00:03:44,600 --> 00:03:48,080 Speaker 1: you gonna blame? Now? You're gonna blame Bill O'Brien, Is 66 00:03:48,120 --> 00:03:49,840 Speaker 1: he the problem? Is that why Mac Jones can't throw 67 00:03:49,880 --> 00:03:53,520 Speaker 1: past to save his life? Like, who are you gonna blame? Bill? 68 00:03:54,320 --> 00:03:58,000 Speaker 1: The Patriots right now stink. They're not a good football team. 69 00:03:58,200 --> 00:04:03,440 Speaker 1: Their lone win was served viving Zach Wilson in New York, 70 00:04:03,480 --> 00:04:05,960 Speaker 1: and they gave Wilson all the opportunities late in that game, 71 00:04:06,040 --> 00:04:08,520 Speaker 1: three chances, I think in the final seven minutes for 72 00:04:08,640 --> 00:04:11,080 Speaker 1: Wilson to tie the game or take the lead. Knee 73 00:04:11,120 --> 00:04:14,160 Speaker 1: of course, could not do it, and they survive the Jets. 74 00:04:14,200 --> 00:04:16,720 Speaker 1: That's your one win, a fifteen to ten win over 75 00:04:16,720 --> 00:04:20,560 Speaker 1: the Jets. And now Belichick is gonna be dealing with 76 00:04:20,640 --> 00:04:22,280 Speaker 1: all week. There's gonna be I know people don't want 77 00:04:22,279 --> 00:04:24,680 Speaker 1: to hear it, but is Mac Jones the guy And 78 00:04:24,720 --> 00:04:27,880 Speaker 1: it's funny because last week on the show, Colin had 79 00:04:28,000 --> 00:04:29,960 Speaker 1: a moment where he's like, listen, Jason and I are 80 00:04:30,000 --> 00:04:32,520 Speaker 1: hearing things, and we heard it from the same person. 81 00:04:32,960 --> 00:04:35,120 Speaker 1: Write to us about what's going on with the Patriots 82 00:04:35,200 --> 00:04:39,680 Speaker 1: and folks internal. Listen, it's nothing scandalous. It's just internally 83 00:04:39,760 --> 00:04:41,760 Speaker 1: there are some things going on, and I'm sure it's 84 00:04:41,800 --> 00:04:43,480 Speaker 1: gonna come out. I think this will be a big 85 00:04:43,520 --> 00:04:46,760 Speaker 1: week in New England for what's going on at quarterback? 86 00:04:46,880 --> 00:04:50,480 Speaker 1: Is Mac Jones the guy does Belichick even like Mac Jones. 87 00:04:50,720 --> 00:04:55,520 Speaker 1: Does Mac Jones work in this Patriots ecosystem? I don't 88 00:04:55,520 --> 00:04:57,760 Speaker 1: know that he does. Listen, Tom Brady covered up a 89 00:04:57,760 --> 00:05:01,479 Speaker 1: lot of words. And since he's been gone, no playoff 90 00:05:01,480 --> 00:05:04,279 Speaker 1: wins for Belichick. I will never forget. I forge, I'll 91 00:05:04,279 --> 00:05:07,480 Speaker 1: never forget. I forget. I'll never forget asking someone on 92 00:05:07,480 --> 00:05:14,640 Speaker 1: this podcast over under one half playoff win for Belichick 93 00:05:14,720 --> 00:05:18,880 Speaker 1: without Tom Brady in New England, and I forget the guests, 94 00:05:18,880 --> 00:05:20,600 Speaker 1: but it was like, oh, we got I gotta think 95 00:05:20,600 --> 00:05:23,040 Speaker 1: about this one. And he has one playoff appearance. They 96 00:05:23,040 --> 00:05:25,760 Speaker 1: lost by like seventy to the Bills. I think it 97 00:05:25,800 --> 00:05:28,560 Speaker 1: was actually forty seven to seventeen or something, and it 98 00:05:28,600 --> 00:05:31,200 Speaker 1: doesn't look like they're going to the playoffs. Now. The schedule, 99 00:05:31,279 --> 00:05:33,479 Speaker 1: by many metrics, is the toughest in the league, or 100 00:05:33,480 --> 00:05:36,640 Speaker 1: second toughest to Miami. And now they entertain the Saints 101 00:05:36,800 --> 00:05:38,720 Speaker 1: who are coming in. Saints have one of the worst 102 00:05:38,800 --> 00:05:41,560 Speaker 1: offenses in the league. But the Patriots just lost their 103 00:05:41,600 --> 00:05:45,400 Speaker 1: defensive stars. Judan goes down peck muscle. Sounds like it's 104 00:05:45,400 --> 00:05:47,280 Speaker 1: gonna be a six to eight week thing. And then 105 00:05:47,360 --> 00:05:50,480 Speaker 1: Christian Gonzale is the star defensive back who had covered 106 00:05:50,560 --> 00:05:53,320 Speaker 1: Tyreek Hill admirably, had done a really good job on 107 00:05:53,360 --> 00:05:57,119 Speaker 1: Garrett Wilson. I mean, Christian Gonzalez looks like a primetime player. 108 00:05:57,160 --> 00:06:00,960 Speaker 1: I think he shut aj Brown down largely in the opener. 109 00:06:01,240 --> 00:06:03,040 Speaker 1: We don't know how long he's gonna be out, So 110 00:06:03,080 --> 00:06:06,120 Speaker 1: it's like, WHOA, We're losing defensive stars. Is a defensive team? 111 00:06:06,200 --> 00:06:09,520 Speaker 1: Our quarterback stinks. I mean, we gotta beat the Saints 112 00:06:09,520 --> 00:06:11,040 Speaker 1: at home, and you should be able to do that. 113 00:06:11,040 --> 00:06:14,520 Speaker 1: New Orleans can't do anything offensively. But I'm starting to 114 00:06:14,600 --> 00:06:18,480 Speaker 1: wonder like we'll have the quarterback discussion this week in Boston. 115 00:06:18,480 --> 00:06:21,320 Speaker 1: All these radio stations, these meatballs will call in done 116 00:06:21,360 --> 00:06:23,320 Speaker 1: with Mac Jones. Should we tank for a quarterback? All 117 00:06:23,360 --> 00:06:27,760 Speaker 1: that nonsense. It's not happening. But you gotta wonder, like, 118 00:06:28,560 --> 00:06:30,600 Speaker 1: when does this move from Okay, we tried the OC 119 00:06:31,040 --> 00:06:33,880 Speaker 1: now at the quarterback. May Maybe it's just the coach. 120 00:06:33,960 --> 00:06:35,800 Speaker 1: Maybe we need a new voice in that locker room. 121 00:06:35,839 --> 00:06:39,200 Speaker 1: I don't know, but it feels to me like Bill 122 00:06:39,240 --> 00:06:41,800 Speaker 1: Belichick is at the end of the road in New England. 123 00:06:42,279 --> 00:06:46,200 Speaker 1: Can't find a quarterback, offensive coordinator has been an issue, 124 00:06:46,440 --> 00:06:48,880 Speaker 1: and the team is just a tough watch. Like you 125 00:06:48,960 --> 00:06:50,880 Speaker 1: look around, like the Saints right now are a tough watch. 126 00:06:50,920 --> 00:06:53,680 Speaker 1: The Atlanta Falcons, man, you watch them and you're just like, ough, 127 00:06:53,760 --> 00:06:56,200 Speaker 1: this is disgusting right now. The New England Patriots are 128 00:06:56,200 --> 00:06:59,040 Speaker 1: gross to watch. They are not dynamic, they're not fun, 129 00:06:59,200 --> 00:07:02,240 Speaker 1: they're not exciting. They can't move a football. And I 130 00:07:02,360 --> 00:07:05,279 Speaker 1: think it feels like the beginning of the end for Belichick. 131 00:07:05,320 --> 00:07:07,360 Speaker 1: You know, he's a very proud guy. I can't imagine 132 00:07:07,400 --> 00:07:11,360 Speaker 1: Craft running him off. It's just starting to feel like 133 00:07:11,560 --> 00:07:15,480 Speaker 1: this is probably rock bottom for the New England Patriots 134 00:07:15,680 --> 00:07:19,320 Speaker 1: and Bill Belichick. Now let's pivot to a positive story, 135 00:07:19,320 --> 00:07:25,280 Speaker 1: because you know a positive guy, Brandon Staley, Ah, Brandon 136 00:07:25,360 --> 00:07:28,160 Speaker 1: Staley and the Chargers survive, and that is the key word. 137 00:07:28,200 --> 00:07:33,520 Speaker 1: They survive. The Raiders and Rob G's guy Aoc, who goodness, gracius. 138 00:07:33,560 --> 00:07:36,720 Speaker 1: I mean Kalo Mac tried to kill him. Aoc was 139 00:07:36,760 --> 00:07:39,800 Speaker 1: a turnover machine, yet there he was trying to drive 140 00:07:39,880 --> 00:07:42,960 Speaker 1: for the game tying score in the final minute. Because 141 00:07:42,960 --> 00:07:46,680 Speaker 1: of Brandon Staley and folks, this is legitimately starting to 142 00:07:46,680 --> 00:07:52,160 Speaker 1: get wild. Brandon Staley is putting himself in his position 143 00:07:52,200 --> 00:07:56,280 Speaker 1: where he cannot win. He cannot win. He's deep in 144 00:07:56,320 --> 00:07:59,080 Speaker 1: his own end, nursing a lead, and if he punts 145 00:07:59,120 --> 00:08:01,360 Speaker 1: he has to trust his d And then the second 146 00:08:01,360 --> 00:08:03,160 Speaker 1: half the Vikings torch him, and then the second half 147 00:08:03,160 --> 00:08:04,920 Speaker 1: the Raiders ran up and down the field against him. 148 00:08:05,480 --> 00:08:07,680 Speaker 1: So what he's doing late in games is he's like, 149 00:08:07,960 --> 00:08:10,880 Speaker 1: I can't punt, so I think I'm gonna just go 150 00:08:11,000 --> 00:08:14,480 Speaker 1: for it. And he's going back to his Maverick days. 151 00:08:14,520 --> 00:08:16,280 Speaker 1: If you remember when it first got to the league. 152 00:08:16,280 --> 00:08:17,880 Speaker 1: As a head coach, he was going for it all 153 00:08:17,920 --> 00:08:19,760 Speaker 1: the time. It was like, holy cal this is exciting. 154 00:08:19,840 --> 00:08:23,280 Speaker 1: They're doing crazy stuff. And people liked him. And then 155 00:08:24,040 --> 00:08:26,000 Speaker 1: the tide started to turn because he lost a couple 156 00:08:26,080 --> 00:08:30,080 Speaker 1: of those late games where he made the decision to 157 00:08:30,080 --> 00:08:31,960 Speaker 1: be aggressive and it didn't go his way. And then 158 00:08:31,960 --> 00:08:34,000 Speaker 1: he started to realize, Oh, there's this thing called the 159 00:08:34,080 --> 00:08:37,520 Speaker 1: media and they actually have a say. And I'm not 160 00:08:37,559 --> 00:08:40,200 Speaker 1: just saying like the ink stained wretches who cover the team. 161 00:08:40,200 --> 00:08:44,079 Speaker 1: I'm talking about radio, Internet, Like that stuff has an impact, 162 00:08:44,120 --> 00:08:45,840 Speaker 1: whether or not you want to believe it, because these owners, 163 00:08:46,000 --> 00:08:48,160 Speaker 1: these billionaires, they got rabbit ears, they got kids, they 164 00:08:48,200 --> 00:08:51,160 Speaker 1: got people in the building, and that stuff starts away 165 00:08:51,200 --> 00:08:54,920 Speaker 1: on people. And it's pretty clear it got back to Staley, like, oh, 166 00:08:54,960 --> 00:08:57,320 Speaker 1: I got to dial it back. So what made him 167 00:08:57,440 --> 00:09:00,520 Speaker 1: great or good was his aggressive nature. He started to 168 00:09:00,520 --> 00:09:02,160 Speaker 1: dial it back. Well, he's turned it back up this 169 00:09:02,280 --> 00:09:04,960 Speaker 1: year and last week against the Vikings, he calls a 170 00:09:05,000 --> 00:09:08,800 Speaker 1: full back dive on fourth and one. It fails, Oh 171 00:09:08,800 --> 00:09:11,679 Speaker 1: my gosh, but then he survives because of a tip 172 00:09:11,840 --> 00:09:14,319 Speaker 1: juggling interception in the end zone by the Chargers. Woof 173 00:09:14,480 --> 00:09:17,400 Speaker 1: Staley survives. Come to this week, Chargers up twenty four 174 00:09:17,400 --> 00:09:20,400 Speaker 1: to seven and a half time. Justin Herbert suffers some 175 00:09:20,480 --> 00:09:23,240 Speaker 1: kind of finger injury on his left hand. He goes 176 00:09:23,280 --> 00:09:26,400 Speaker 1: back in the game with like a splint on his hand. 177 00:09:26,480 --> 00:09:28,400 Speaker 1: I'm like, what is he doing out there? You're up 178 00:09:28,679 --> 00:09:31,200 Speaker 1: I think they were up fourteen, and you're like, why 179 00:09:31,280 --> 00:09:33,520 Speaker 1: is he on the field. He cannot grip the ball 180 00:09:33,600 --> 00:09:36,400 Speaker 1: under center, so he has to operate our shotgun. Well, 181 00:09:36,400 --> 00:09:39,959 Speaker 1: it doesn't go well, and then they're faced with another 182 00:09:40,080 --> 00:09:43,000 Speaker 1: fourth and one deep in their own end, nursing a 183 00:09:43,040 --> 00:09:47,200 Speaker 1: seven point lead. Okay, I can't do the full back dive. 184 00:09:47,600 --> 00:09:49,240 Speaker 1: I don't want to do a pitch to Josh Kelly. 185 00:09:49,280 --> 00:09:52,440 Speaker 1: I don't have Eckler. Hmm. You know, I just saw 186 00:09:52,480 --> 00:09:56,079 Speaker 1: the Eagles against Washington do what they're calling now, the 187 00:09:56,120 --> 00:09:58,719 Speaker 1: Brotherly Shove. That's what the fourth in one play is 188 00:09:58,760 --> 00:10:01,360 Speaker 1: being called now, the brother Shove, which is kind of cool, 189 00:10:01,440 --> 00:10:05,800 Speaker 1: sounds interesting. So Staley decides to dial that up. Remember, 190 00:10:05,920 --> 00:10:08,679 Speaker 1: his quarterback can't grip the ball under center, has it 191 00:10:08,760 --> 00:10:10,960 Speaker 1: taken a step under center since he had the splint on? 192 00:10:11,360 --> 00:10:12,960 Speaker 1: And on the next possession, they were like, oh, this 193 00:10:13,000 --> 00:10:15,560 Speaker 1: splint's really gaudy. Let's just put a glove on his 194 00:10:15,640 --> 00:10:19,360 Speaker 1: finger and tape it up and it just looks goofy. Okay, 195 00:10:20,480 --> 00:10:23,160 Speaker 1: And on fourth and one they run the Brotherly Shove play, 196 00:10:23,160 --> 00:10:26,680 Speaker 1: which is automatic for the Eagles and justin Herbrick Gets 197 00:10:26,720 --> 00:10:29,480 Speaker 1: stopped their six ' five quarterback. They tried to push 198 00:10:29,520 --> 00:10:31,760 Speaker 1: them from behind, just wasn't happening. Gets like, oh my god, 199 00:10:32,000 --> 00:10:37,079 Speaker 1: total disaster. Raiders get the ball, but fortunately for Brandon Staley, 200 00:10:38,080 --> 00:10:41,160 Speaker 1: they get inside the five and AOC the young rookie 201 00:10:41,200 --> 00:10:43,000 Speaker 1: quarterback out of Perdue makes a bad read and the 202 00:10:43,080 --> 00:10:48,240 Speaker 1: Sante Samuel jumped the route interception. Samuel did end up 203 00:10:48,240 --> 00:10:50,200 Speaker 1: going down way too early. You should have kept running, 204 00:10:51,480 --> 00:10:54,840 Speaker 1: and the Chargers survived. Now what's interesting is this is 205 00:10:54,920 --> 00:10:59,840 Speaker 1: two weeks in a row. Staley has survived thanks to 206 00:10:59,840 --> 00:11:01,920 Speaker 1: his defense getting a pick late. And I'm talking it's 207 00:11:01,880 --> 00:11:04,200 Speaker 1: straight up survival. Like Staley at one point wanted to 208 00:11:04,280 --> 00:11:07,880 Speaker 1: challenge a play and you could see him screaming into 209 00:11:07,920 --> 00:11:09,640 Speaker 1: the headset but covering it with his play sheet. But 210 00:11:09,679 --> 00:11:11,920 Speaker 1: he was like veins were popping out of his neck 211 00:11:11,960 --> 00:11:14,120 Speaker 1: and head. He was so angry and needed can't lose 212 00:11:14,160 --> 00:11:17,680 Speaker 1: these games, bro. I saw a Charger season ticket holder. 213 00:11:17,720 --> 00:11:19,360 Speaker 1: My daughter tried out for a volleyball team and like 214 00:11:19,440 --> 00:11:21,840 Speaker 1: made the team this weekend. So then we go to 215 00:11:21,920 --> 00:11:24,200 Speaker 1: like the fitting for like your jerseys and all that stuff, 216 00:11:24,240 --> 00:11:26,240 Speaker 1: and I saw a Charger season ticket holder. There he's 217 00:11:26,240 --> 00:11:27,959 Speaker 1: like wearing his Chargers gear getting ready to go to 218 00:11:28,000 --> 00:11:29,720 Speaker 1: the game. And I've been to a game and hung 219 00:11:29,760 --> 00:11:31,040 Speaker 1: out with I know this guy pretty well. He's in 220 00:11:31,040 --> 00:11:34,320 Speaker 1: our volleyball crew, and he's like, Jay, if we lose 221 00:11:34,360 --> 00:11:37,080 Speaker 1: this game, Staley's got to be fired on Monday. Like 222 00:11:37,120 --> 00:11:39,200 Speaker 1: that's where Charger fans are. And this is not like 223 00:11:39,559 --> 00:11:41,480 Speaker 1: non football guy. This guy was like a pretty big 224 00:11:41,520 --> 00:11:43,400 Speaker 1: time football player in high school and like all these 225 00:11:43,440 --> 00:11:46,840 Speaker 1: guys passionately follow the Chargers and like something's got to change. 226 00:11:46,840 --> 00:11:50,920 Speaker 1: And Staley's a dude. He has now survived two of those. Listen, 227 00:11:52,160 --> 00:11:54,559 Speaker 1: it's tough. He's under a lot of pressure. Herbert bailed 228 00:11:54,600 --> 00:11:57,520 Speaker 1: him out with an incredible bomb to Palmer down the 229 00:11:57,559 --> 00:12:02,240 Speaker 1: sideline to lock up the game Herbert was dealing. However, 230 00:12:02,360 --> 00:12:05,240 Speaker 1: it's crazy because Herbert, who I thought had an amazing game, 231 00:12:05,520 --> 00:12:07,959 Speaker 1: he absorbed some big time hits, was able to get 232 00:12:08,000 --> 00:12:12,280 Speaker 1: out of pressure. Herbert only finished with let me get 233 00:12:12,280 --> 00:12:14,600 Speaker 1: this right, one hundred and sixty seven yards passing against 234 00:12:14,600 --> 00:12:16,720 Speaker 1: the Raiders? Can he pick it out a game against 235 00:12:16,760 --> 00:12:21,040 Speaker 1: the Raiders. It's like very odd. I gotta give a 236 00:12:21,080 --> 00:12:23,760 Speaker 1: shout out to Khalil Mack, who had six sacks, nearly 237 00:12:23,800 --> 00:12:26,720 Speaker 1: the NFL record, which is seven Derek Thomas. Anybody remembers 238 00:12:26,760 --> 00:12:30,000 Speaker 1: the Lake Kansas City Chiefs Ed Rusher, Kalo Mac was 239 00:12:30,040 --> 00:12:32,200 Speaker 1: everywhere and then I looked this up. Khalil Mack last year, 240 00:12:32,200 --> 00:12:34,000 Speaker 1: Remember he was quiet, like where's Mac? Is he on 241 00:12:34,040 --> 00:12:37,640 Speaker 1: a milk carton? Khalil Mack had eight sacks last year. 242 00:12:38,800 --> 00:12:41,560 Speaker 1: He had six on Sunday. Like, what a game? No Bosa, 243 00:12:41,840 --> 00:12:44,480 Speaker 1: no Derwin, James, no Ekler. That's a huge win for 244 00:12:44,520 --> 00:12:46,600 Speaker 1: the Chargers. It's weird because they could be four and 245 00:12:46,640 --> 00:12:50,480 Speaker 1: oh right, they're so close. They should have beaten two 246 00:12:50,640 --> 00:12:52,280 Speaker 1: and the Dolphins in the opener. They had that game 247 00:12:52,400 --> 00:12:57,200 Speaker 1: multiple times. Should have won that and you know, I 248 00:12:57,240 --> 00:12:58,920 Speaker 1: think they wanted to rest their guys. They now have 249 00:12:58,960 --> 00:13:01,640 Speaker 1: the bye weekend, then played Dallas coming out. Dallas has 250 00:13:01,679 --> 00:13:04,360 Speaker 1: a body bag game against the Niners this weekend, which 251 00:13:04,360 --> 00:13:07,440 Speaker 1: will be very interesting. So the Chargers are set up 252 00:13:07,440 --> 00:13:10,400 Speaker 1: for some success. You're assuming Herbert's fingers, okay, but then 253 00:13:10,440 --> 00:13:13,120 Speaker 1: after the bye, you get hopefully Derwin, Bosa and Eckler back. 254 00:13:13,320 --> 00:13:15,840 Speaker 1: You got hopefully a healthy Herbert, and it's like we 255 00:13:15,840 --> 00:13:19,319 Speaker 1: can get rock and roll in here. I want to 256 00:13:19,360 --> 00:13:23,600 Speaker 1: believe in the Chargers, but man Staley totally completely living 257 00:13:23,679 --> 00:13:27,360 Speaker 1: on the edge. I don't want to. I guess people 258 00:13:27,440 --> 00:13:30,959 Speaker 1: want me to crush Stalely for the decisions. Here's the problem. 259 00:13:31,280 --> 00:13:34,840 Speaker 1: It is a process versus results discussion. Okay, and you 260 00:13:34,840 --> 00:13:38,319 Speaker 1: guys have all been here before. You can play the results, 261 00:13:38,440 --> 00:13:41,160 Speaker 1: which are two fourth and one failures, or you can 262 00:13:41,200 --> 00:13:43,520 Speaker 1: go by the process. If you get that first down, 263 00:13:43,800 --> 00:13:46,160 Speaker 1: it's game over. And you're the NFL and you've got 264 00:13:46,200 --> 00:13:49,160 Speaker 1: a star quarterback who is dealing? You've got a star 265 00:13:49,280 --> 00:13:53,960 Speaker 1: quarterback who is I would say, for my money after Mahomes. 266 00:13:54,200 --> 00:13:56,160 Speaker 1: If you're asking me, Jay, who are you taking? It's 267 00:13:56,240 --> 00:13:58,800 Speaker 1: Josh Allen or Justin Herbert, Like those are the two guys. 268 00:13:59,000 --> 00:14:02,240 Speaker 1: If I'm starting a franchise, it's one of those two guys. 269 00:14:02,280 --> 00:14:06,120 Speaker 1: Like Herbert's that good? How can you not get a yard? 270 00:14:06,840 --> 00:14:10,480 Speaker 1: Like one yard? That's it? Like you're an NFL football team, 271 00:14:11,000 --> 00:14:13,199 Speaker 1: You've got a billion plays, you work in the offseason, 272 00:14:13,320 --> 00:14:16,440 Speaker 1: like you got you got all the tools, all of 273 00:14:16,440 --> 00:14:18,360 Speaker 1: the tools are there. You need one yard and you don't. 274 00:14:18,480 --> 00:14:20,360 Speaker 1: You don't have anything. And like I saw that with 275 00:14:20,400 --> 00:14:22,240 Speaker 1: my Jets, and now we'll go to the Jets.

They're getting their doors 306 00:16:09,320 --> 00:16:11,760 Speaker 1: blown off, and then you get the Juwan Taylor face 307 00:16:11,800 --> 00:16:14,000 Speaker 1: mask in the end zone results in the safety, and 308 00:16:14,000 --> 00:16:17,400 Speaker 1: then Patrick Mahomes thrown two bizarre interceptions and the Jets 309 00:16:17,440 --> 00:16:19,640 Speaker 1: are right in the game. And this is one of 310 00:16:19,680 --> 00:16:24,200 Speaker 1: those like somebody asked if you guys watched Colorado USC 311 00:16:24,440 --> 00:16:27,920 Speaker 1: on Saturday, Colorado was down like thirty four to seven, 312 00:16:28,040 --> 00:16:30,640 Speaker 1: forty one to fourteen, and Colorado fought and fought and 313 00:16:30,720 --> 00:16:33,400 Speaker 1: fought and came back in US the only one by 314 00:16:33,400 --> 00:16:36,120 Speaker 1: a touchdown, and like they didn't come close to covering 315 00:16:36,120 --> 00:16:39,000 Speaker 1: although they were up huge. It's half second quarter or 316 00:16:39,080 --> 00:16:43,160 Speaker 1: third quarter. And somebody asked shaduor Sanders, the Dion's kid, 317 00:16:43,200 --> 00:16:46,560 Speaker 1: the quarterback, do you believe in moral victories? And he goes, 318 00:16:46,760 --> 00:16:48,360 Speaker 1: I don't know what that means. I don't know what 319 00:16:48,360 --> 00:16:51,480 Speaker 1: you're talking about. Now. I couldn't tell. He had a 320 00:16:51,480 --> 00:16:53,240 Speaker 1: little smile on his face, like I don't know if 321 00:16:53,280 --> 00:16:55,200 Speaker 1: he didn't know what a moral victory was or if 322 00:16:55,240 --> 00:16:57,200 Speaker 1: he is just one of those guys who were like, no, 323 00:16:57,280 --> 00:16:59,440 Speaker 1: I have to screw that. I don't believe in moral victories. 324 00:17:01,240 --> 00:17:04,640 Speaker 1: It felt like the Jets registered a moral victory over 325 00:17:04,680 --> 00:17:07,360 Speaker 1: the Chiefs, if that even exists. Now, you can't take 326 00:17:07,400 --> 00:17:09,280 Speaker 1: a moral victory and try to get into the playoffs. 327 00:17:09,640 --> 00:17:11,680 Speaker 1: You can't take a moral victory and go to the 328 00:17:12,119 --> 00:17:14,520 Speaker 1: owner and say, hey, hey, we were closed, we did 329 00:17:14,560 --> 00:17:16,440 Speaker 1: a good job. We's had progress like that. Doesn't it 330 00:17:16,440 --> 00:17:18,919 Speaker 1: doesn't work like that, You know, that's just not how 331 00:17:19,000 --> 00:17:22,879 Speaker 1: football works, its wins, its losses. This call falls in 332 00:17:22,920 --> 00:17:26,920 Speaker 1: the l a Lleger a loss for the Jets. They're 333 00:17:26,920 --> 00:17:29,119 Speaker 1: not one and three, but where it's a bit of 334 00:17:29,119 --> 00:17:33,000 Speaker 1: a moral win is against man defense and a blitz 335 00:17:33,000 --> 00:17:37,400 Speaker 1: happy Spagnolo. Holy hell, Zach Wilson looked competent. He knew 336 00:17:37,400 --> 00:17:39,600 Speaker 1: what he was doing. Zach Wilson looked like he could 337 00:17:39,600 --> 00:17:43,520 Speaker 1: have won you some games. And he listen, man, I'm 338 00:17:43,520 --> 00:17:46,159 Speaker 1: not ready to put Zach Wilson is like, hey, he 339 00:17:46,560 --> 00:17:48,400 Speaker 1: can be an average quarterback in this league or whatever. 340 00:17:48,480 --> 00:17:52,000 Speaker 1: He's still very, very bad. But for three quarters or 341 00:17:52,080 --> 00:17:55,119 Speaker 1: two and a half, he looked very good in making 342 00:17:55,240 --> 00:17:57,480 Speaker 1: all the throws. You could see the confidence was back. 343 00:17:57,520 --> 00:17:59,040 Speaker 1: I don't know if it was that Aaron Rodgers was 344 00:17:59,040 --> 00:18:01,840 Speaker 1: in the building, or Taylor Swift, or just simply what 345 00:18:01,960 --> 00:18:04,240 Speaker 1: he was seeing. Now. Spagnolo is a bit of an 346 00:18:04,280 --> 00:18:07,240 Speaker 1: old school guy. Doesn't play a ton of zone, a 347 00:18:07,280 --> 00:18:10,040 Speaker 1: lot of we're gonna press you. And the Jets did 348 00:18:10,080 --> 00:18:13,240 Speaker 1: okay against the pressure, but they're leaving then their cornerbacks 349 00:18:13,240 --> 00:18:16,480 Speaker 1: on islands and Wilson's making I mean, he must have 350 00:18:16,520 --> 00:18:19,240 Speaker 1: made five of the ten best throws of his career 351 00:18:19,920 --> 00:18:22,760 Speaker 1: last night and they still lost. Like he's putting the 352 00:18:22,760 --> 00:18:24,960 Speaker 1: ball right on the dot to tight ends. I think 353 00:18:25,000 --> 00:18:28,840 Speaker 1: I saw ten, ten or eleven different Jets, maybe twelve 354 00:18:28,960 --> 00:18:32,119 Speaker 1: caught passes. They're spreading the wealth. Not great for fantasy. 355 00:18:32,160 --> 00:18:33,960 Speaker 1: I needed some more out of Breeze Hall. I digress, 356 00:18:36,320 --> 00:18:39,280 Speaker 1: like there's a lot of positives from Zach. But here's 357 00:18:39,320 --> 00:18:43,560 Speaker 1: the problem. We knew Zach Wilson is awesome against man 358 00:18:43,600 --> 00:18:46,160 Speaker 1: because he's got a cannon. That pass in the end zone. 359 00:18:46,400 --> 00:18:49,320 Speaker 1: It was against zone and he just zipped it right 360 00:18:49,359 --> 00:18:51,720 Speaker 1: past the cornerback who was closing in and Alan Lozard 361 00:18:51,760 --> 00:18:53,320 Speaker 1: makes a catch and it's like, holy cow. The Jets 362 00:18:53,359 --> 00:18:55,760 Speaker 1: are tied with the Geez after being down seventeen to nothing, 363 00:18:57,000 --> 00:18:59,040 Speaker 1: so he can make the thrones. But all any good 364 00:18:59,080 --> 00:19:02,120 Speaker 1: defense has to do is like I mean, they got 365 00:19:02,680 --> 00:19:06,360 Speaker 1: they got Denver this weekend, Vance Joseph who looks utterly clueless, 366 00:19:06,359 --> 00:19:09,639 Speaker 1: and Justin Fields just had like an amazing game. I 367 00:19:09,680 --> 00:19:11,760 Speaker 1: think they're calling this. I have to look up the 368 00:19:11,760 --> 00:19:14,040 Speaker 1: exacts act like the best game of Justin Field's career 369 00:19:15,880 --> 00:19:18,400 Speaker 1: against a Van Joseph defense, Advanced Joseph defense that gave 370 00:19:18,440 --> 00:19:21,199 Speaker 1: up seventy to the Dolphins. That lets Sam Howe will 371 00:19:21,280 --> 00:19:24,760 Speaker 1: run rough shot over them, like there's an oportunity. First 372 00:19:24,760 --> 00:19:26,240 Speaker 1: of all, Jets have to win this game. You cannot 373 00:19:26,240 --> 00:19:27,919 Speaker 1: fall to one and four and then face the Eagles 374 00:19:27,920 --> 00:19:30,320 Speaker 1: at one and five, like, no, the Jets have to 375 00:19:30,400 --> 00:19:33,760 Speaker 1: go there. So the thing is, is vance Joseph gonna 376 00:19:33,880 --> 00:19:37,119 Speaker 1: Joseph gonna keep to his tendencies blitz or is he 377 00:19:37,200 --> 00:19:38,880 Speaker 1: gonna be like you no, no, no, no, Zach can't 378 00:19:38,920 --> 00:19:41,119 Speaker 1: read zones. Let's just sit in zones all day, like 379 00:19:41,560 --> 00:19:45,080 Speaker 1: we'll see. I'm optimistic, but cautiously optimistic. You don't want 380 00:19:45,080 --> 00:19:46,679 Speaker 1: to get your hopes up as a Jets fan. Come on, 381 00:19:49,280 --> 00:19:52,199 Speaker 1: weird game from Mahomes. I'm not gonna lie. Keep it 382 00:19:52,200 --> 00:19:55,760 Speaker 1: a hundred with you guys on the pod. At least 383 00:19:55,760 --> 00:20:00,879 Speaker 1: twice during the game, you know Mahomes is, Mahomes's wife 384 00:20:00,920 --> 00:20:02,879 Speaker 1: was up in the box with Taylor Swift, and then 385 00:20:03,040 --> 00:20:05,920 Speaker 1: Mahomes's wife was like apparently hanging out with Taylor Swift 386 00:20:06,000 --> 00:20:08,959 Speaker 1: and Blake Lively. And if you don't know Blake Lively, 387 00:20:09,320 --> 00:20:12,240 Speaker 1: come on, guys, you got problem. Gossip girl. Hello, you 388 00:20:12,280 --> 00:20:15,239 Speaker 1: gotta follow Blake Lively. She's a great follow on Instagram, 389 00:20:16,560 --> 00:20:20,040 Speaker 1: and I wondered, as Mahomes is throwing these really bad 390 00:20:20,080 --> 00:20:23,679 Speaker 1: interceptions and CJ. Mosley dropped then interception. Mahomes did not 391 00:20:23,720 --> 00:20:26,879 Speaker 1: have a great game. And this isn't wrong and I 392 00:20:26,880 --> 00:20:29,560 Speaker 1: should not say this, but I'm like, I just wonder 393 00:20:30,160 --> 00:20:33,840 Speaker 1: if Patrick just thought seventeen nothing, it's in the bag 394 00:20:33,960 --> 00:20:37,399 Speaker 1: and he just lost focus and he's like Taylor Swift's 395 00:20:37,400 --> 00:20:39,320 Speaker 1: in the building, we're killing the Jets National TV. My 396 00:20:39,320 --> 00:20:42,000 Speaker 1: wife's up there with Taylor, and the focus wasn't there. 397 00:20:42,080 --> 00:20:44,960 Speaker 1: Like it's just they did not seem as dialed in 398 00:20:46,160 --> 00:20:48,680 Speaker 1: after getting that big lead, which can happen. You start, 399 00:20:48,760 --> 00:20:51,240 Speaker 1: you know, thinking about next week and games go to 400 00:20:51,280 --> 00:20:53,680 Speaker 1: your head and big celebrities in the house, and it's 401 00:20:53,720 --> 00:20:57,480 Speaker 1: like Mahomes, you don't see those terrible throws from him, 402 00:20:57,840 --> 00:21:01,840 Speaker 1: Like people were crushing the Jets. Hey, Jets, you can't 403 00:21:01,920 --> 00:21:04,439 Speaker 1: kick field goals. They hit the crossbar, which are they 404 00:21:04,480 --> 00:21:06,639 Speaker 1: hit the upright, you know, which was a killer. But 405 00:21:06,760 --> 00:21:08,399 Speaker 1: like you can't settle for field goals on fourth and 406 00:21:08,400 --> 00:21:10,360 Speaker 1: one against Patrick Mahomes. You've got to go for it, right, 407 00:21:10,800 --> 00:21:12,760 Speaker 1: Mahomes is not going to keep making me oh wait, 408 00:21:12,800 --> 00:21:15,240 Speaker 1: a minute, he just made another mistake. Like it was 409 00:21:15,280 --> 00:21:19,040 Speaker 1: an uncharacteristic game from Mahomes. And I'm not calling him 410 00:21:19,040 --> 00:21:20,800 Speaker 1: out for not being locked in and dialed in and 411 00:21:20,880 --> 00:21:25,640 Speaker 1: kind of goofing around, but it's very, very weird, uncharacteristic 412 00:21:25,640 --> 00:21:31,720 Speaker 1: game for Mahomes. That being said, I just I don't 413 00:21:31,760 --> 00:21:33,920 Speaker 1: know who's better than them in the AFC. And we 414 00:21:33,960 --> 00:21:38,399 Speaker 1: could talk about Buffalo next. They look extremely good since 415 00:21:38,440 --> 00:21:42,480 Speaker 1: the Jets befuddled them, and basically the only kryptonite for 416 00:21:42,520 --> 00:21:46,080 Speaker 1: Josh Allen has been the Jets and the Chiefs offense 417 00:21:46,119 --> 00:21:48,320 Speaker 1: in the postseason or you know, I guess the Bengals 418 00:21:48,400 --> 00:21:52,680 Speaker 1: defense last year in the playoffs, But like, who's better 419 00:21:52,720 --> 00:21:54,960 Speaker 1: than the Chiefs? Like they can scuttle around, screw around, 420 00:21:55,000 --> 00:21:56,439 Speaker 1: pick up the three point win on the road, and 421 00:21:56,440 --> 00:21:59,199 Speaker 1: it's like, Okay, they're the Chiefs. Who's better than the 422 00:21:59,200 --> 00:22:01,639 Speaker 1: Bengals are certainly not. I was way off of the 423 00:22:01,640 --> 00:22:06,200 Speaker 1: Bengals this year. They look awful. I don't know where 424 00:22:06,200 --> 00:22:07,680 Speaker 1: they head from here, but they're not one of the 425 00:22:07,720 --> 00:22:09,359 Speaker 1: top five teams in the AFC. And like, I know 426 00:22:09,440 --> 00:22:12,399 Speaker 1: Burrow can turn it on, and I just I don't know, 427 00:22:12,400 --> 00:22:13,880 Speaker 1: I don't know they just they look like a bad 428 00:22:13,880 --> 00:22:16,119 Speaker 1: football team right now. Ravens don't scare anybody. I know. 429 00:22:16,160 --> 00:22:18,040 Speaker 1: They got another win, and it's this second time in 430 00:22:18,080 --> 00:22:21,119 Speaker 1: three weeks. I friggin went against them. I went against them, 431 00:22:21,320 --> 00:22:23,680 Speaker 1: actually three times in a row. I hit last week. 432 00:22:23,920 --> 00:22:28,520 Speaker 1: But the divisional matchups like Lamar killed the Browns, Like 433 00:22:28,560 --> 00:22:30,719 Speaker 1: the Ravens are three and one, but they're not scaring 434 00:22:30,760 --> 00:22:34,520 Speaker 1: any of the injuries are so massive, and they faced 435 00:22:34,520 --> 00:22:37,520 Speaker 1: a backup quarterback in dtr a backup rookie quarterback who 436 00:22:37,520 --> 00:22:42,359 Speaker 1: looked way overwhelmed. So like who's good in the AFC? Jags, Titans, 437 00:22:42,720 --> 00:22:45,760 Speaker 1: Tech stop with the Texans, Colts all too and two 438 00:22:46,640 --> 00:22:49,440 Speaker 1: Chargers two and two. Nobody trust Daly in the postseason. 439 00:22:50,119 --> 00:22:52,480 Speaker 1: Bengals have fallen back. Ravens don't scare you because of 440 00:22:52,520 --> 00:22:57,080 Speaker 1: the injuries. It's like Bills and Bengals, Bills and Chiefs 441 00:22:57,119 --> 00:23:00,360 Speaker 1: in the AFC Championship, Like is it written, We'll get 442 00:23:00,359 --> 00:23:03,600 Speaker 1: to the Bills. And it's funny because two weeks ago 443 00:23:03,640 --> 00:23:04,840 Speaker 1: I told you it was my biggest bet of the 444 00:23:04,840 --> 00:23:06,560 Speaker 1: season when they faced the Raiders. After that lost to 445 00:23:06,600 --> 00:23:09,320 Speaker 1: the Jets, and they came through. It was easy. No sweat. 446 00:23:09,920 --> 00:23:11,960 Speaker 1: Last week, I loved them against Washington, but then I 447 00:23:11,960 --> 00:23:13,880 Speaker 1: didn't put them in the contest because I'm a woos 448 00:23:14,040 --> 00:23:15,960 Speaker 1: and I'm an idiot, and all this money came in 449 00:23:16,000 --> 00:23:18,520 Speaker 1: on Washington. I'm like, wow, what, I don't want to 450 00:23:18,560 --> 00:23:20,679 Speaker 1: do it. I bet it personally, Like I told you 451 00:23:20,680 --> 00:23:24,880 Speaker 1: guys last Monday, I bet it and Bills cover easily 452 00:23:25,040 --> 00:23:28,960 Speaker 1: last week. So then this week, same deal. Bills. Early 453 00:23:28,960 --> 00:23:30,719 Speaker 1: in the week, I love them against the Dolphins two 454 00:23:30,760 --> 00:23:33,320 Speaker 1: and a half. I bet them gets late in the week, 455 00:23:33,359 --> 00:23:35,600 Speaker 1: you see this Jordan Poyer injury, You're like, oh no, 456 00:23:38,560 --> 00:23:40,840 Speaker 1: you gotta have safeties against the Dolphins. I turn into 457 00:23:40,880 --> 00:23:42,639 Speaker 1: a woofs again and I leave them out of the contest, 458 00:23:42,680 --> 00:23:46,200 Speaker 1: and the Bills cover easily. They led. I mean, it 459 00:23:46,280 --> 00:23:49,800 Speaker 1: was an absolute beat down. Hold on. I just want 460 00:23:49,800 --> 00:23:51,399 Speaker 1: to call up the stats because I'm taking notes as 461 00:23:51,400 --> 00:23:53,439 Speaker 1: these games are happening, because I want to be prepared 462 00:23:53,480 --> 00:23:57,200 Speaker 1: for this and the herd. The Buffalo Bills went five 463 00:23:57,280 --> 00:24:01,560 Speaker 1: and six in the red zone. They open the game 464 00:24:01,600 --> 00:24:06,000 Speaker 1: going touchdown, touchdown, touchdown, punt, touchdown, field goal to end 465 00:24:06,000 --> 00:24:08,440 Speaker 1: the half with thirty one points. In the second half, 466 00:24:09,560 --> 00:24:12,959 Speaker 1: field goal, touchdown, touchdown, and they're up forty eight to twenty. 467 00:24:13,480 --> 00:24:18,480 Speaker 1: The Buffalo Bills have now utterly dominated opponents for twelve 468 00:24:18,520 --> 00:24:22,959 Speaker 1: straight quarters since that Jets amazing loss. Now, remember they 469 00:24:22,960 --> 00:24:25,080 Speaker 1: were up thirteen to three against the Jets before Josh 470 00:24:25,119 --> 00:24:27,880 Speaker 1: Allen starts going yolo and makes a couple of bad mistakes. 471 00:24:28,760 --> 00:24:33,560 Speaker 1: Bills look dominant, but it's like you win the battle, 472 00:24:33,560 --> 00:24:35,160 Speaker 1: but you maybe lose the war. I don't know if 473 00:24:35,160 --> 00:24:38,120 Speaker 1: you guys saw the Tradeavious White injury, they're fearing its 474 00:24:38,160 --> 00:24:42,640 Speaker 1: and Achilles non contact injury goes down. He's their top 475 00:24:42,680 --> 00:24:45,840 Speaker 1: corner back. They've got an injury at safety. They're getting 476 00:24:45,840 --> 00:24:49,520 Speaker 1: old on the back end. Like I know, it's a 477 00:24:49,600 --> 00:24:53,959 Speaker 1: massive win for Buffalo. That White injury is huge now 478 00:24:53,960 --> 00:24:56,760 Speaker 1: they will be getting von Miller back obviously, and Josh 479 00:24:56,800 --> 00:25:01,720 Speaker 1: Allen looks tremendous. He's you know, Buffalo's right there. I 480 00:25:01,760 --> 00:25:04,240 Speaker 1: don't know for whatever reason, Like I'm not surprised. Miami 481 00:25:04,280 --> 00:25:06,680 Speaker 1: got their doors blowing off and they need Jalen Ramsey bad. 482 00:25:06,720 --> 00:25:10,840 Speaker 1: The Vic Fangio defense is just it's not great. Remember 483 00:25:10,960 --> 00:25:13,119 Speaker 1: Chargers went up and down the field against them, Buffalo 484 00:25:13,160 --> 00:25:14,800 Speaker 1: went up and down the field again. It's only a 485 00:25:14,840 --> 00:25:18,040 Speaker 1: matter of time before we see like a middle tier 486 00:25:18,080 --> 00:25:20,119 Speaker 1: team do that. The Broncos had some success, but I 487 00:25:20,160 --> 00:25:23,080 Speaker 1: mean they couldn't stop anybody, so I guess those would 488 00:25:23,080 --> 00:25:30,600 Speaker 1: be my biggest picture takeaways. And listen, I'm a huge 489 00:25:30,680 --> 00:25:34,840 Speaker 1: Jets fan obviously, and people are like, Jay, you should 490 00:25:34,840 --> 00:25:36,520 Speaker 1: be really upset that they lost, and I'm like, well, 491 00:25:36,520 --> 00:25:39,480 Speaker 1: they covered Zach Wilson. Look good. Like they're positive you 492 00:25:39,480 --> 00:25:42,880 Speaker 1: could take away like folks, I was on the Steelers 493 00:25:42,880 --> 00:25:46,160 Speaker 1: this weekend pretty heavy, and this is one of those 494 00:25:46,160 --> 00:25:48,600 Speaker 1: games like two drives in, You're like, holy shit, I'm 495 00:25:48,600 --> 00:25:52,280 Speaker 1: on the wrong side. It was over the pickets get hurt, 496 00:25:52,320 --> 00:25:54,520 Speaker 1: picket gets hurt. They can't stop the run. They can't 497 00:25:54,520 --> 00:25:59,680 Speaker 1: stop CJ. Stroud. Matt Canada is calling awful, awful plays 498 00:26:00,119 --> 00:26:02,679 Speaker 1: for much of the game, and at one point it 499 00:26:02,720 --> 00:26:06,080 Speaker 1: felt like a race between Vance Joseph, the DC of 500 00:26:06,080 --> 00:26:08,800 Speaker 1: the Broncos, who was down twenty eight seven to Justin Fields. 501 00:26:09,320 --> 00:26:11,359 Speaker 1: It was a race between Vance Joseph and Matt Canada, 502 00:26:11,400 --> 00:26:12,920 Speaker 1: the OC of the Steelers. Jo Who's going to get 503 00:26:12,920 --> 00:26:17,440 Speaker 1: fired first? That's how bad both of them were on Sunday. Now, 504 00:26:18,280 --> 00:26:21,320 Speaker 1: Joseph got a little lucky he set a blitz field, fumbles, 505 00:26:21,320 --> 00:26:23,360 Speaker 1: scoop and score and then Denver comes back to win. 506 00:26:24,640 --> 00:26:27,040 Speaker 1: But there's nothing positive for Matt Canada and if he's 507 00:26:27,040 --> 00:26:32,199 Speaker 1: gotta have Maserati Mitchell Trubisky back there, folks, I'm not 508 00:26:32,200 --> 00:26:35,480 Speaker 1: feeling good about the Steelers, Like, I don't know what 509 00:26:35,560 --> 00:26:39,000 Speaker 1: it is of why I can't quit this team. I 510 00:26:39,000 --> 00:26:40,879 Speaker 1: had him last week and it was a nice dub. 511 00:26:41,720 --> 00:26:43,120 Speaker 1: I was on him this week and you could tell 512 00:26:43,160 --> 00:26:45,480 Speaker 1: early they were cooked. And it was one of those weeks. 513 00:26:46,760 --> 00:26:49,400 Speaker 1: My worst week in the contest. One and four only 514 00:26:49,480 --> 00:26:52,399 Speaker 1: hit the Niners and by the way, Cardinals dropped two 515 00:26:52,480 --> 00:26:54,520 Speaker 1: touchdown passes in the waiting seconds. By the way, I 516 00:26:54,520 --> 00:26:55,960 Speaker 1: got to give a quick shout out to the Arizona 517 00:26:56,000 --> 00:26:58,880 Speaker 1: Cardinals and Jonathan Gannon made fun of Arizona in the offseason. 518 00:26:58,960 --> 00:27:03,399 Speaker 1: A lot mocked Gannon's speech to the team where he's like, 519 00:27:03,400 --> 00:27:06,440 Speaker 1: I want killers who took the bus to the facility 520 00:27:06,440 --> 00:27:11,320 Speaker 1: to you know, idiotic stuff. Jonathan Gannon has these guys 521 00:27:11,359 --> 00:27:14,480 Speaker 1: fighting their ass off. The Cardinals played hard for four quarters. 522 00:27:14,520 --> 00:27:16,800 Speaker 1: Now I know it was only one half against the Giants, 523 00:27:17,240 --> 00:27:20,240 Speaker 1: but there was no quid in these guys. Michael Wilson, 524 00:27:20,240 --> 00:27:22,520 Speaker 1: the young receiver. It's funny t J Huschwanzada who comes 525 00:27:22,520 --> 00:27:25,199 Speaker 1: on here, goes on the herd. He told me on 526 00:27:25,240 --> 00:27:27,000 Speaker 1: the herd, he's like the guy you gotta watch. The 527 00:27:27,040 --> 00:27:29,960 Speaker 1: receiver this year is Michael Wilson in Arizona. So I 528 00:27:30,119 --> 00:27:32,400 Speaker 1: was gonna take him in fantasy. I didn't. They caught 529 00:27:32,440 --> 00:27:36,359 Speaker 1: two touchdowns. He looks good. And I'm not the biggest 530 00:27:36,359 --> 00:27:39,439 Speaker 1: Cardinals guy. I'm out on Kyler Murray. You know that. 531 00:27:39,520 --> 00:27:44,000 Speaker 1: But at one in three and they're fighting, I'm gonna 532 00:27:44,040 --> 00:27:46,080 Speaker 1: go ahead and pull them out of the Caleb Williams sweepstakes. 533 00:27:46,080 --> 00:27:48,080 Speaker 1: At this point, I don't think they got a shot 534 00:27:48,320 --> 00:27:50,320 Speaker 1: if you want. I know, I know Bears fans are 535 00:27:50,359 --> 00:27:53,359 Speaker 1: like a little disappointed today, but listen, here's the positive news. 536 00:27:54,600 --> 00:28:00,639 Speaker 1: Ready the Chicago Bears online. I have the number one 537 00:28:00,680 --> 00:28:03,919 Speaker 1: pick in the draft. Here's an interesting stat. In the 538 00:28:04,160 --> 00:28:09,760 Speaker 1: last since two thousand and two, teams that start oh 539 00:28:09,800 --> 00:28:13,000 Speaker 1: to four have had the top pick in fifteen of 540 00:28:13,119 --> 00:28:17,400 Speaker 1: twenty one drafts. Okay, and this is where gets better. 541 00:28:18,600 --> 00:28:23,760 Speaker 1: The Bears have Carolina's pick due to the Bryce Young deal. 542 00:28:24,400 --> 00:28:27,680 Speaker 1: So you now have two oh to four lottery tickets 543 00:28:28,080 --> 00:28:32,679 Speaker 1: your own and the Panthers, and it just so happened. 544 00:28:32,680 --> 00:28:34,239 Speaker 1: Fox and I were talking this week and they're like, hey, 545 00:28:34,240 --> 00:28:35,880 Speaker 1: can you do a mock draft? I was like, sure, 546 00:28:37,040 --> 00:28:41,560 Speaker 1: what do you do if you're the Bears? Obviously you 547 00:28:41,640 --> 00:28:44,600 Speaker 1: draft Kaleb Williams, we got that at one. But do 548 00:28:44,640 --> 00:28:49,080 Speaker 1: you take Marvin Harrison at two? So you get your receiver, 549 00:28:49,320 --> 00:28:51,680 Speaker 1: you get your Burrow, and you get your Chase, you 550 00:28:51,720 --> 00:28:55,680 Speaker 1: get your you know whatever quarterback and receiver, You get 551 00:28:55,720 --> 00:28:59,040 Speaker 1: your Randy Moss and your quarterback, you get your Justin Jefferson, whatever. 552 00:29:00,160 --> 00:29:04,600 Speaker 1: Or do you trade the second pick, slide down a 553 00:29:04,640 --> 00:29:10,280 Speaker 1: little bit, get more draft capital, and then take someone 554 00:29:10,320 --> 00:29:13,880 Speaker 1: else at another position who you really like, a left tackle, 555 00:29:14,800 --> 00:29:17,920 Speaker 1: someone value, another receiver that's not named Marvin Harrison, or 556 00:29:17,920 --> 00:29:21,479 Speaker 1: maybe you can get Harrison. I don't know, but I 557 00:29:21,520 --> 00:29:25,840 Speaker 1: know Bears fans are sad right now. Listen, short term pain, 558 00:29:26,280 --> 00:29:31,440 Speaker 1: long term huge game. I'll never forget the Jets losing. Sorry, 559 00:29:31,800 --> 00:29:33,840 Speaker 1: Jets were on the way to getting Trevor Lawrence. They 560 00:29:33,960 --> 00:29:37,040 Speaker 1: end up beating the Rams in a meaningless friggin game. 561 00:29:37,360 --> 00:29:41,120 Speaker 1: It was like late November, early December in LA. They won, 562 00:29:42,120 --> 00:29:44,400 Speaker 1: killed a lot of survivor tickets because the Jets were 563 00:29:44,400 --> 00:29:46,680 Speaker 1: like thirteen point dogs or whatever one outright, and all 564 00:29:46,720 --> 00:29:49,640 Speaker 1: the Jets fans were like, yeah, flexing like as clowns 565 00:29:50,040 --> 00:29:53,640 Speaker 1: when all that did win, all that win did was 566 00:29:53,760 --> 00:29:57,200 Speaker 1: cost you Trevor Lawrence. And as a result, the Jets 567 00:29:57,240 --> 00:30:00,520 Speaker 1: had to settle for Zach Wilson. And now you know, 568 00:30:00,600 --> 00:30:04,600 Speaker 1: Zach Wilson doesn't look like an NFL quarterback is barring 569 00:30:04,640 --> 00:30:07,000 Speaker 1: some miraculous turnaround, he's not getting a second deal with 570 00:30:07,000 --> 00:30:11,680 Speaker 1: the Jets, and all because of one meaningless win in 571 00:30:11,720 --> 00:30:14,960 Speaker 1: a season that was totally down the tubes. I know 572 00:30:15,000 --> 00:30:16,800 Speaker 1: Bears fans aren't gonna want to hear this, but like, 573 00:30:18,880 --> 00:30:21,880 Speaker 1: just deal with the short term pain, deal with the 574 00:30:21,880 --> 00:30:26,440 Speaker 1: struggles and the losses as they mount, knowing that there 575 00:30:26,440 --> 00:30:29,280 Speaker 1: will be a better tomorrow right around the corner. And 576 00:30:29,280 --> 00:30:32,520 Speaker 1: that tomorrow like these losses last six days, seven days, whatever, 577 00:30:32,520 --> 00:30:35,520 Speaker 1: it's over next week. Who cares a couple of months. 578 00:30:36,040 --> 00:30:38,800 Speaker 1: You get Caleb Williams, you're set at quarterback for a decade, 579 00:30:40,040 --> 00:30:43,680 Speaker 1: maybe longer. Once you get that franchise guy, once you 580 00:30:43,680 --> 00:30:49,000 Speaker 1: get Herbert Mahomes, Josh Allen, you don't lose, You don't 581 00:30:49,040 --> 00:30:51,760 Speaker 1: move on from these guys. You get the franchise stud. 582 00:30:51,800 --> 00:30:53,480 Speaker 1: You stick with him and ride it out. You don't 583 00:30:53,520 --> 00:30:56,880 Speaker 1: trade him, you don't lose him. You kiss his button, 584 00:30:57,000 --> 00:31:00,480 Speaker 1: keep him in town, and build around him. How hard 585 00:31:00,480 --> 00:31:02,200 Speaker 1: it is to found a friend of a franchise quarterback. 586 00:31:02,520 --> 00:31:05,160 Speaker 1: I use this example all the time. The Miami Dolphin, said, 587 00:31:05,200 --> 00:31:08,440 Speaker 1: Dan Marino, they must have cycled through thirty seven guys 588 00:31:08,480 --> 00:31:11,520 Speaker 1: now to get to Tua, who we don't even know 589 00:31:11,520 --> 00:31:13,880 Speaker 1: if he's a franchise quarterback. He's having an awesome season. 590 00:31:14,360 --> 00:31:16,400 Speaker 1: I don't know, is he you're trying to tell me 591 00:31:16,440 --> 00:31:20,400 Speaker 1: Tua is a franchise guy, like he's looked good, but 592 00:31:20,600 --> 00:31:24,200 Speaker 1: I don't know, is he like we'll see. It's so 593 00:31:24,360 --> 00:31:27,000 Speaker 1: tough to find him. They don't grow on trees. It's hard. 594 00:31:27,120 --> 00:31:30,040 Speaker 1: Like you know, giant Scott eli Manning, nobody knew what 595 00:31:30,120 --> 00:31:33,800 Speaker 1: he was. I won two Super Bowls. There's Jets fans 596 00:31:33,800 --> 00:31:36,080 Speaker 1: out there, not me, who had given a right arm 597 00:31:36,120 --> 00:31:37,880 Speaker 1: to win a freaking Super Bowl. They haven't been to 598 00:31:37,960 --> 00:31:42,080 Speaker 1: one fifty years at any rate. I will wrap up 599 00:31:42,120 --> 00:31:44,120 Speaker 1: with my hottest take. I saved the best for last, 600 00:31:44,200 --> 00:31:45,680 Speaker 1: and I do not have any bets because I was 601 00:31:45,680 --> 00:31:47,880 Speaker 1: so pissed about the one and four in the contest. 602 00:31:48,080 --> 00:31:49,560 Speaker 1: It's weird one in four in the contest. But I 603 00:31:49,600 --> 00:31:52,320 Speaker 1: went ten and five in this picks thing. One of 604 00:31:52,320 --> 00:31:55,880 Speaker 1: the guys on the herd told me about it, decent payout, 605 00:31:56,600 --> 00:31:59,000 Speaker 1: and I went ten and five and like instantly, I'm 606 00:31:59,200 --> 00:32:00,680 Speaker 1: you know, I mean, there's a lot of people in it, 607 00:32:00,720 --> 00:32:05,240 Speaker 1: but I'm like top three percent, and it's like, how 608 00:32:05,240 --> 00:32:06,680 Speaker 1: am I hitting this? But I want one and four 609 00:32:06,680 --> 00:32:08,600 Speaker 1: in the freaking contest. The lines are a little different 610 00:32:09,040 --> 00:32:11,840 Speaker 1: by half point maybe a point, and you can lock 611 00:32:11,880 --> 00:32:14,840 Speaker 1: in like right up until I think game time. So 612 00:32:14,960 --> 00:32:17,440 Speaker 1: at any rate, it's just frustrating. So I haven't looked 613 00:32:17,440 --> 00:32:19,480 Speaker 1: at the card or bet anything. I'll definitely have some 614 00:32:19,480 --> 00:32:24,400 Speaker 1: stuff for tomorrow. But I guess my large hot take 615 00:32:24,440 --> 00:32:28,560 Speaker 1: would be that I think Kyle Shanahan is out to 616 00:32:28,640 --> 00:32:32,240 Speaker 1: prove that running backs do matter, and he is force 617 00:32:32,320 --> 00:32:35,800 Speaker 1: feeding Christian McCaffrey like I've never seen before. I mean, 618 00:32:35,800 --> 00:32:40,400 Speaker 1: this is not Derek Henry force feeding Christian McCaffrey thirteen 619 00:32:40,480 --> 00:32:43,240 Speaker 1: straight games with a touchdown since he became the forty 620 00:32:43,280 --> 00:32:46,120 Speaker 1: nine ers starter. Okay, now, in the first game back 621 00:32:46,160 --> 00:32:48,920 Speaker 1: they played the Chiefs. After the trade, he wasn't the starter. 622 00:32:49,000 --> 00:32:52,560 Speaker 1: He played, but they lost that game. He became the 623 00:32:52,560 --> 00:32:54,240 Speaker 1: starter of the next week. They have not lost a 624 00:32:54,280 --> 00:32:56,800 Speaker 1: regular season game that he started. Eagles game they lose 625 00:32:56,840 --> 00:33:00,400 Speaker 1: their quarterback. Bottom line. With Christian McCaffrey, this team is 626 00:33:00,920 --> 00:33:03,880 Speaker 1: off the charts. He has been the jet fuel to 627 00:33:03,960 --> 00:33:10,160 Speaker 1: take them to the next level. McCaffrey, Okay, over seventeen 628 00:33:10,240 --> 00:33:13,200 Speaker 1: hundred yards with the Niners in the fourteen games he's played. 629 00:33:13,920 --> 00:33:16,760 Speaker 1: I saw an insane stat at one point that I 630 00:33:16,760 --> 00:33:19,440 Speaker 1: think he had over one hundred yards rushing seventy yards 631 00:33:19,480 --> 00:33:24,280 Speaker 1: receiving four touchdowns, and it's I keep wondering, like Shanahan 632 00:33:24,480 --> 00:33:27,240 Speaker 1: has backups. He could give the ball to Deebo Samuel. 633 00:33:27,280 --> 00:33:31,800 Speaker 1: For my fantasy team, Brandon Aiyuk has really stretched the field. 634 00:33:31,880 --> 00:33:34,720 Speaker 1: He like doesn't drop passes. Party's putting him on the 635 00:33:34,800 --> 00:33:37,320 Speaker 1: numbers And I'm like, look at a Shanahan. I'm like, 636 00:33:37,560 --> 00:33:41,400 Speaker 1: why is he forced feeding McCaffrey. Like McCaffrey's getting carries 637 00:33:41,880 --> 00:33:45,400 Speaker 1: in a two touchdown game, three touchdown game against Arizona, 638 00:33:45,520 --> 00:33:47,320 Speaker 1: and I'm like, something's not adding up here. And the 639 00:33:47,360 --> 00:33:49,680 Speaker 1: only thing I could think is McCaffrey's trying to prove 640 00:33:49,720 --> 00:33:53,840 Speaker 1: a point that running backs do matter. And I don't 641 00:33:53,880 --> 00:33:58,200 Speaker 1: care who our quarterback is, Brock Purty, Trey Lance, Jimmy Garoppolo, 642 00:33:58,760 --> 00:34:02,120 Speaker 1: Christian McCaffrey eats, and he's what makes us special because 643 00:34:02,160 --> 00:34:04,280 Speaker 1: he is really like Brock. Perty's been excellent obviously, and 644 00:34:04,360 --> 00:34:06,800 Speaker 1: no nobody's taking anything away from him, but McCaffrey is 645 00:34:06,840 --> 00:34:10,480 Speaker 1: what's made this team unbelievable, and it's very weird. As 646 00:34:10,600 --> 00:34:13,399 Speaker 1: long as he's healthy, I don't see how you can't 647 00:34:13,440 --> 00:34:15,719 Speaker 1: make the Niners the favorites in the NFC, Like we'll 648 00:34:15,719 --> 00:34:19,000 Speaker 1: find out Niners Cowboys this weekend. I mean, it's early. 649 00:34:20,680 --> 00:34:24,120 Speaker 1: Shanahan has been utterly dominant in the play calling. I 650 00:34:24,120 --> 00:34:26,719 Speaker 1: feel like he's almost stepped his game up since McDaniel 651 00:34:26,719 --> 00:34:30,320 Speaker 1: has barely been unbelievable, and it's just it's just striking 652 00:34:30,360 --> 00:34:34,319 Speaker 1: to me how much he's feeding McCaffrey. Remember, MVP is 653 00:34:34,840 --> 00:34:38,759 Speaker 1: a quarterback award. The last MVP running back was like 654 00:34:38,760 --> 00:34:43,040 Speaker 1: Adrian Peterson. Maybe it's been a while and it feels 655 00:34:43,080 --> 00:34:46,040 Speaker 1: like something's going like Shanahan wants to get in the MVP. 656 00:34:46,200 --> 00:34:48,160 Speaker 1: I don't know, it doesn't add up, like, why wouldn't 657 00:34:48,160 --> 00:34:51,120 Speaker 1: you bring in Elijah Mitchell to vulture a touchdown or 658 00:34:52,120 --> 00:34:53,920 Speaker 1: use check give him a carry inside the five. I 659 00:34:53,920 --> 00:34:55,600 Speaker 1: think he's had like one or two carries inside the 660 00:34:55,600 --> 00:34:58,319 Speaker 1: five all season. It's just a lot of McCaffrey. And 661 00:34:58,840 --> 00:35:00,480 Speaker 1: the whole time he gets a ball, I'm like holding 662 00:35:00,480 --> 00:35:03,440 Speaker 1: my breath he goes down. I think they're in deep trouble, 663 00:35:04,440 --> 00:35:06,120 Speaker 1: and so why is he getting so many touches early 664 00:35:06,160 --> 00:35:09,400 Speaker 1: in the season. It doesn't add up, but Shanahan loves him, 665 00:35:09,440 --> 00:35:13,560 Speaker 1: and I listen. People love to talk about Justin Jefferson. 666 00:35:13,560 --> 00:35:16,959 Speaker 1: He had two touchdowns Sunday. People love to talk about 667 00:35:17,000 --> 00:35:21,120 Speaker 1: Jamar Chase and the skill position receivers DeVante Adams and 668 00:35:21,160 --> 00:35:25,800 Speaker 1: Cooper Cup. Christian McAffrey is probably more valuable than any receiver, 669 00:35:26,800 --> 00:35:29,759 Speaker 1: and that's simply because he's a running back in that 670 00:35:31,320 --> 00:35:35,239 Speaker 1: zone rushing attack, and Christian mccafrey is as good of 671 00:35:35,280 --> 00:35:37,279 Speaker 1: a pass catcher as there is a receiver in the league. 672 00:35:37,680 --> 00:35:41,080 Speaker 1: He's an immense duel threat, and as long as he's healthy, 673 00:35:41,120 --> 00:35:42,560 Speaker 1: I think the forty nine ers might be the team 674 00:35:42,600 --> 00:35:44,840 Speaker 1: to beat in the entire NFL. I'm very excited for 675 00:35:44,840 --> 00:35:48,360 Speaker 1: this forty nine Ers team. They continue to just browbeat teams. 676 00:35:48,800 --> 00:35:51,279 Speaker 1: Every week they're putting up thirty points. It doesn't matter 677 00:35:51,280 --> 00:35:55,080 Speaker 1: who the opponent is, where the game is, day or night, 678 00:35:55,760 --> 00:35:59,800 Speaker 1: turf or grass. Brockberdy and Christian McCaffrey are just cooking, folks. 679 00:36:00,040 --> 00:36:02,080 Speaker 1: And Kyle Shanahan, man, he's on fire right now. I 680 00:36:02,080 --> 00:36:03,800 Speaker 1: think the Niners are the best team in the NFL. 681 00:36:04,320 --> 00:36:08,240 Speaker 1: Football is back. No more preseason games.

It sucks because I have the Seahawks 700 00:37:14,440 --> 00:37:20,160 Speaker 1: in the Pickham League, but in my big money fantasy 701 00:37:20,200 --> 00:37:22,960 Speaker 1: league of five hundred dollars buy in, I need Tyler 702 00:37:23,000 --> 00:37:26,400 Speaker 1: Lockett to do nothing. I need Ken Walker to do nothing. 703 00:37:26,840 --> 00:37:30,960 Speaker 1: And my brother is praying that Tyler Lockett does nothing. 704 00:37:31,600 --> 00:37:34,480 Speaker 1: My son is hoping Tyler Lockett does nothing. So it's 705 00:37:34,480 --> 00:37:36,319 Speaker 1: one of those like weird And I know you're like, 706 00:37:36,360 --> 00:37:39,360 Speaker 1: who cares Jay, who cares about fantasy when you're betting? 707 00:37:39,360 --> 00:37:41,600 Speaker 1: And I'm like, I want my cake and I want 708 00:37:41,600 --> 00:37:44,960 Speaker 1: to eat eat it too, like I want everything. I 709 00:37:45,000 --> 00:37:48,120 Speaker 1: know that's greedy and maybe bad, but that's how I am. 710 00:37:48,239 --> 00:37:50,640 Speaker 1: So I'm not gonna go heavy on the Seahawks. I'm 711 00:37:50,640 --> 00:37:55,400 Speaker 1: hoping they win like a thirteen ten, low scoring slobber knocker. 712 00:37:55,640 --> 00:37:58,000 Speaker 1: Sounds like Andrew Thomas will not play for the Giants. 713 00:37:58,120 --> 00:38:00,680 Speaker 1: Not great, but it's not like Seattle pass rush is 714 00:38:00,680 --> 00:38:05,239 Speaker 1: amazing I'm just hoping for Daniel Jones aka Vanillavic, a 715 00:38:05,320 --> 00:38:08,200 Speaker 1: ball control attack, keeping the ball away from Ginosmith and company. 716 00:38:08,520 --> 00:38:11,400 Speaker 1: And it's a seventeen thirteen or thirteen ten kind of 717 00:38:11,400 --> 00:38:15,680 Speaker 1: game and nobody does anything fantasy wise, and Seattle coming 718 00:38:15,719 --> 00:38:19,759 Speaker 1: out on top would be excellent. So that's all for now. Finally, 719 00:38:19,960 --> 00:38:23,200 Speaker 1: next week we only have one. Oh no, this week 720 00:38:23,239 --> 00:38:26,200 Speaker 1: we only have one Monday night football game. I kind 721 00:38:26,200 --> 00:38:28,720 Speaker 1: of like that. Next week four games at one pm. 722 00:38:28,760 --> 00:38:31,239 Speaker 1: This week the games were duds. I the Patriots game 723 00:38:31,280 --> 00:38:34,200 Speaker 1: was over at halftime. It's just they weren't exciting. So 724 00:38:34,520 --> 00:38:37,120 Speaker 1: next week games should get better. We'll talk to you Tuesday.
