1
00:00:00,360 --> 00:00:07,640
Speaker 1: The Around the NFL podcast still believes in Sam Darnald

2
00:00:08,800 --> 00:00:12,920
Speaker 1: Damn right from the Chris Westling podcast studio. It's around

3
00:00:13,000 --> 00:00:20,520
Speaker 1: the NFL. I'm Dan Hansas heroes here, Greg Rosnthal, Mark Sessler.

4
00:00:22,560 --> 00:00:26,720
Speaker 1: We got well, we got but thirty minutes so left

5
00:00:26,760 --> 00:00:32,199
Speaker 1: in the final UH game in the group field for

6
00:00:32,280 --> 00:00:34,839
Speaker 1: Group B in the World Cup, USA holding a one

7
00:00:34,920 --> 00:00:40,400
Speaker 1: nil advantage over Iran. Mark take it from here. I

8
00:00:40,479 --> 00:00:43,720
Speaker 1: like a game like this because I don't naturally aligne

9
00:00:43,920 --> 00:00:48,200
Speaker 1: with what um Iran stands for generally, So it feels

10
00:00:48,240 --> 00:00:52,080
Speaker 1: like an actual international message where you're gonna root for

11
00:00:52,120 --> 00:00:55,560
Speaker 1: the stage. Mark stepping into it again. If you're a

12
00:00:55,600 --> 00:00:57,840
Speaker 1: longtime listener of the show, he famously had a dust

13
00:00:57,920 --> 00:01:02,200
Speaker 1: up with Iran and our There was no dust up.

14
00:01:02,240 --> 00:01:04,839
Speaker 1: It was a scenario where Greg and Dan creates something

15
00:01:04,880 --> 00:01:07,320
Speaker 1: out of total fin air. It is a very strange

16
00:01:07,760 --> 00:01:09,959
Speaker 1: place to be here, Like the game started out eleven

17
00:01:09,959 --> 00:01:12,520
Speaker 1: in the morning. I learned that US scored the first

18
00:01:12,760 --> 00:01:17,120
Speaker 1: goal as I was walking up the stairs between makeup

19
00:01:17,319 --> 00:01:19,840
Speaker 1: and uh, you know, the the lunch area, and just

20
00:01:19,959 --> 00:01:23,119
Speaker 1: allowed cheer went all over the building and I figured

21
00:01:23,160 --> 00:01:25,039
Speaker 1: that's gotta be a goal. And it was I got

22
00:01:25,120 --> 00:01:28,240
Speaker 1: you a beat. I was on live television right as

23
00:01:28,319 --> 00:01:32,320
Speaker 1: the goal was scored, and they I said, uh, to

24
00:01:32,600 --> 00:01:36,480
Speaker 1: Andrew Siciliano on NFL. Now, wow, you know America's power rankings.

25
00:01:36,480 --> 00:01:39,039
Speaker 1: America scores a goal. And then big brother got my

26
00:01:39,080 --> 00:01:41,600
Speaker 1: ear and said, I don't say anything about the other

27
00:01:41,680 --> 00:01:45,240
Speaker 1: football it doesn't exist. It was Bill Belichick. They do

28
00:01:45,319 --> 00:01:47,560
Speaker 1: not want you to understand that this is happening right now.

29
00:01:47,960 --> 00:01:51,200
Speaker 1: There's also a problem at this office though. People have

30
00:01:52,200 --> 00:01:55,400
Speaker 1: feeds that are faster than other feeds. So for the

31
00:01:55,480 --> 00:01:58,600
Speaker 1: second near goal, which was overturned because you know they

32
00:01:58,600 --> 00:02:03,040
Speaker 1: were offsides, there was a huge cheer somewhere else in

33
00:02:03,080 --> 00:02:06,040
Speaker 1: the building, while everyone that was eating lunch and quietly

34
00:02:06,080 --> 00:02:09,160
Speaker 1: watching the game had no idea what happened. Then the

35
00:02:09,200 --> 00:02:12,040
Speaker 1: goal is taken. Then you hear that oh and five

36
00:02:12,080 --> 00:02:18,320
Speaker 1: seconds ahead of time. Somehow we survive. This is the

37
00:02:18,360 --> 00:02:21,760
Speaker 1: Tuesday Show. Hey, if you want to close the door

38
00:02:21,960 --> 00:02:25,720
Speaker 1: formally on week twelve, you check out the Greg Rosenthal

39
00:02:25,800 --> 00:02:29,200
Speaker 1: Monday Night football recap. And I think Greg's really made

40
00:02:29,200 --> 00:02:33,120
Speaker 1: that show his own mark and with Phoebe Scheckter this

41
00:02:33,200 --> 00:02:38,040
Speaker 1: week breaking down just an exhilarating UH Steelers win over

42
00:02:38,120 --> 00:02:40,000
Speaker 1: the cults. Actually, not a bad game's kind of a fun.

43
00:02:40,360 --> 00:02:41,840
Speaker 1: It was a good bad game. I would call it

44
00:02:41,919 --> 00:02:44,079
Speaker 1: where are you standing on your Colts fandom mark two

45
00:02:44,080 --> 00:02:48,280
Speaker 1: weeks later? I mean they made the game competitive towards

46
00:02:48,320 --> 00:02:50,320
Speaker 1: the end. The first half looked like a lot of

47
00:02:50,400 --> 00:02:55,640
Speaker 1: pre Jeff Saturday, Uh, nonsensical play, But then Jeff Saturday

48
00:02:55,639 --> 00:02:59,919
Speaker 1: inserted some nonsensical items in himself in his own little branding.

49
00:03:00,600 --> 00:03:03,080
Speaker 1: The game is not different. We don't build rockets to

50
00:03:03,120 --> 00:03:07,560
Speaker 1: go to Mars. I listened to the Monday night and uh,

51
00:03:07,720 --> 00:03:11,160
Speaker 1: it's a There's nothing more delightful than driving down here

52
00:03:11,200 --> 00:03:13,320
Speaker 1: around six thirty in the morning getting half an hour

53
00:03:13,360 --> 00:03:15,440
Speaker 1: of Greg in my ear. But Greg does an excellent

54
00:03:15,520 --> 00:03:18,400
Speaker 1: job in it, and Phoebe Scheckter did an excellent that's her,

55
00:03:18,520 --> 00:03:21,480
Speaker 1: that's your choice, so check that out. And we got

56
00:03:21,560 --> 00:03:25,560
Speaker 1: a lot more content for you today. We're gonna preview

57
00:03:25,600 --> 00:03:29,120
Speaker 1: the first week third team matchup and it's a good one.

58
00:03:29,120 --> 00:03:32,239
Speaker 1: It's the Patriots at the Bills, and I would lock

59
00:03:32,360 --> 00:03:35,440
Speaker 1: the hell out of those Bills if it didn't break

60
00:03:35,440 --> 00:03:38,360
Speaker 1: one of my tenants of lockage, which is don't mess

61
00:03:38,480 --> 00:03:43,080
Speaker 1: with Thursday night football. It's weird. Wait, didn't you break

62
00:03:43,280 --> 00:03:47,600
Speaker 1: that tenant just a few weeks against? I learned a lesson,

63
00:03:47,840 --> 00:03:50,880
Speaker 1: That's what I'm said. I'll never well, it was a

64
00:03:50,960 --> 00:03:53,080
Speaker 1: rule and I just didn't think it out, and I

65
00:03:53,160 --> 00:03:55,520
Speaker 1: learned my lesson never to make that mistake again. You

66
00:03:55,520 --> 00:03:57,920
Speaker 1: like to break rules once in a while. I know, Well,

67
00:03:58,000 --> 00:04:00,160
Speaker 1: the bad boy of NFL media. I think that's been well.

68
00:04:00,440 --> 00:04:06,280
Speaker 1: I used to call me that, right, it's now shifted

69
00:04:06,720 --> 00:04:11,400
Speaker 1: actually due to some recent events, and uh yeah I am.

70
00:04:11,760 --> 00:04:14,760
Speaker 1: It's subversive and Mark I call the rule follower of

71
00:04:14,920 --> 00:04:17,240
Speaker 1: NFL media. It's like, tell me where to be, tell

72
00:04:17,279 --> 00:04:20,119
Speaker 1: me what to do, punching, the punching on the clock,

73
00:04:20,200 --> 00:04:21,839
Speaker 1: punch out. I mean, I think I could not be

74
00:04:21,920 --> 00:04:26,880
Speaker 1: any farther from the truth. Um. Anyway, So Thursday preview, Uh,

75
00:04:27,000 --> 00:04:30,000
Speaker 1: we are going to also look into our crystal ball

76
00:04:30,520 --> 00:04:33,560
Speaker 1: and make some I don't know they're predictions. It's more

77
00:04:33,720 --> 00:04:37,960
Speaker 1: visions on how the balance of the regular season will

78
00:04:37,960 --> 00:04:40,400
Speaker 1: play out. That's fun. Uh, we're gonna do some news.

79
00:04:40,400 --> 00:04:42,000
Speaker 1: But before we do some news, let me just check

80
00:04:42,040 --> 00:04:46,520
Speaker 1: in real quick. Here. Let's see we four teams three

81
00:04:46,560 --> 00:04:50,000
Speaker 1: weeks ago today. Let's see if we and I'm reading

82
00:04:50,040 --> 00:04:51,680
Speaker 1: this in real time. I don't even know. Let's see,

83
00:04:51,880 --> 00:04:54,800
Speaker 1: is there any team that we're concerned about here three

84
00:04:54,839 --> 00:04:58,280
Speaker 1: weeks on? The Packers, Nope, nope, they lost two of three.

85
00:04:58,360 --> 00:05:00,760
Speaker 1: They needed to find a way to a part the

86
00:05:00,800 --> 00:05:05,680
Speaker 1: Titans or of course the Eagles in addition to the Cowboys.

87
00:05:05,680 --> 00:05:08,440
Speaker 1: They didn't. So they're cooked and we're gonna get to

88
00:05:08,440 --> 00:05:12,080
Speaker 1: the Packers in a second. The Cardinals feeling good after

89
00:05:12,120 --> 00:05:15,680
Speaker 1: they got two point conversioned out of the playoff picture.

90
00:05:15,760 --> 00:05:22,360
Speaker 1: Potentially the Jaguars. You know, we're okay, we're where that's trending,

91
00:05:22,480 --> 00:05:26,400
Speaker 1: But I don't feel it's a totally different situation. There

92
00:05:26,440 --> 00:05:29,880
Speaker 1: are three games back with the written all over them.

93
00:05:29,960 --> 00:05:31,360
Speaker 1: I don't know if they're gonna win seven or a

94
00:05:31,440 --> 00:05:33,400
Speaker 1: row to go to the places playing their team of

95
00:05:33,400 --> 00:05:36,640
Speaker 1: a t L this week. They're going to cause problems

96
00:05:36,680 --> 00:05:39,400
Speaker 1: for other teams. That's exactly what observed the Steelers, who

97
00:05:39,440 --> 00:05:43,279
Speaker 1: you talked about Greg yesterday. Um, they're getting better pickets,

98
00:05:43,320 --> 00:05:46,360
Speaker 1: making some strides, but that's a team that's developing. They're

99
00:05:46,360 --> 00:05:47,760
Speaker 1: not going to the dance again. The a f C,

100
00:05:48,200 --> 00:05:53,839
Speaker 1: the Colts, see uh, the Texans, woe begone, there's moribund

101
00:05:53,839 --> 00:05:58,160
Speaker 1: and there's woe begone. They're both and uh, the Panthers

102
00:05:58,200 --> 00:06:01,440
Speaker 1: will be good there. But you know, Sam Donald Donald

103
00:06:01,520 --> 00:06:04,320
Speaker 1: in a wide open division there, Yes, Mr Justin with

104
00:06:04,400 --> 00:06:07,240
Speaker 1: Nick Shook on the Week eleven recap show, we also

105
00:06:07,279 --> 00:06:12,200
Speaker 1: forked the Browns I forgot about. I feel okay about that.

106
00:06:12,200 --> 00:06:14,240
Speaker 1: That one I was a little not nov us about,

107
00:06:14,279 --> 00:06:16,599
Speaker 1: just because the Browns I think are a little more

108
00:06:16,720 --> 00:06:21,160
Speaker 1: seven lost team with with some hard games seven no

109
00:06:21,200 --> 00:06:23,920
Speaker 1: matter what their their offense already has been very good.

110
00:06:24,000 --> 00:06:27,520
Speaker 1: I gotta say, of all those teams that we buried,

111
00:06:28,120 --> 00:06:30,000
Speaker 1: the only one that I even have a little bit

112
00:06:30,000 --> 00:06:32,200
Speaker 1: of a little more about is the Panthers because I

113
00:06:32,240 --> 00:06:34,280
Speaker 1: think they're gonna be one game back if the if

114
00:06:34,320 --> 00:06:36,680
Speaker 1: the Bucks don't win next week, and and I think

115
00:06:36,720 --> 00:06:41,400
Speaker 1: they got a little drop hit it. Hit me with it,

116
00:06:42,000 --> 00:06:48,000
Speaker 1: a little Donald, hit me with it, Hit me with it,

117
00:06:48,160 --> 00:06:52,800
Speaker 1: Sam Donald. Sam can do a lot for himself. And

118
00:06:53,000 --> 00:06:55,880
Speaker 1: by the way, I don't tough, you don't always appreciate

119
00:06:56,560 --> 00:06:59,640
Speaker 1: our friend Jason Zumbat, the Voice of Around the NFL,

120
00:06:59,680 --> 00:07:03,080
Speaker 1: speaking for the group, saying that we believe in Sam Donald.

121
00:07:03,080 --> 00:07:07,800
Speaker 1: I am taking myself out of that mix y, Okay,

122
00:07:07,839 --> 00:07:09,720
Speaker 1: I mean I also don't. I don't know what we

123
00:07:09,920 --> 00:07:12,240
Speaker 1: say by believing and dom I believe that he's probably

124
00:07:12,240 --> 00:07:14,840
Speaker 1: I believe he had a nice game on I wish

125
00:07:15,240 --> 00:07:17,520
Speaker 1: quality person, but I'm not believing in him as a quarter.

126
00:07:17,560 --> 00:07:20,000
Speaker 1: But you say a fairly quality person. I don't know him.

127
00:07:20,040 --> 00:07:22,640
Speaker 1: I didn't meet him in person, and was he very kind?

128
00:07:22,680 --> 00:07:24,920
Speaker 1: And that was kind, But that was a photo little

129
00:07:24,960 --> 00:07:26,760
Speaker 1: spot in time where he's just sort of doing what

130
00:07:26,880 --> 00:07:29,280
Speaker 1: someone's asking. I wish I could quit Sam Donald, but

131
00:07:29,440 --> 00:07:31,000
Speaker 1: you know what, I'm kind of back in for the

132
00:07:31,000 --> 00:07:33,320
Speaker 1: balance of the season. He's got an offensive line now,

133
00:07:33,360 --> 00:07:36,480
Speaker 1: it is a better situation than they had a year.

134
00:07:36,520 --> 00:07:39,240
Speaker 1: I wish I knew how to quit you. I came.

135
00:07:39,360 --> 00:07:41,800
Speaker 1: I came for you guys on the Baker Mayfield takes,

136
00:07:41,840 --> 00:07:43,840
Speaker 1: and I feel like I got a w there. Now

137
00:07:43,920 --> 00:07:47,000
Speaker 1: Sam finishes the season strong, and that will be my

138
00:07:47,080 --> 00:07:50,000
Speaker 1: personal geno Smith. If Sam can finish this season strong,

139
00:07:51,000 --> 00:07:52,840
Speaker 1: we'll take him to the playoffs. Then if you get

140
00:07:52,880 --> 00:07:55,000
Speaker 1: to eight wins there somehow, if they go four and

141
00:07:55,040 --> 00:07:58,920
Speaker 1: two down the stretch of p J. Walton could happen.

142
00:08:00,040 --> 00:08:01,360
Speaker 1: But I wish I could quit him, all right, the

143
00:08:01,440 --> 00:08:03,880
Speaker 1: US uh lining up for a free kick here just

144
00:08:04,000 --> 00:08:06,600
Speaker 1: outside the box. I mean, they were in good shape.

145
00:08:06,640 --> 00:08:09,160
Speaker 1: They've had a lot of opportunities here, Danny, let's do

146
00:08:09,200 --> 00:08:12,680
Speaker 1: some news. They've been the better squad, y'all. Honestly, I've

147
00:08:12,680 --> 00:08:14,600
Speaker 1: been wanting to say this as a part of the the team,

148
00:08:14,640 --> 00:08:17,560
Speaker 1: but like you know, since everything happened back in August, Man,

149
00:08:17,640 --> 00:08:20,679
Speaker 1: I promise you, like everybody in this room, have shown

150
00:08:20,680 --> 00:08:24,040
Speaker 1: me traditional love support. Man, help me get to this

151
00:08:24,080 --> 00:08:26,280
Speaker 1: point for real, man, I can't be more thankful for

152
00:08:26,280 --> 00:08:28,520
Speaker 1: everybody in his room. Man, y'all people turned to the

153
00:08:28,520 --> 00:08:30,680
Speaker 1: most after going through what I went through. Man, Just

154
00:08:31,080 --> 00:08:32,880
Speaker 1: you know, to have this opportunity to do what I

155
00:08:32,920 --> 00:08:35,640
Speaker 1: did today. Man, give all y'all. Creator, Man, thank you all.

156
00:08:39,200 --> 00:08:41,200
Speaker 1: What a story it wrote about this in the Power Ranks.

157
00:08:41,200 --> 00:08:43,640
Speaker 1: What you can check out on NFL dot com, the

158
00:08:43,720 --> 00:08:47,720
Speaker 1: latest which is up there. Um, the qualifications for Comeback

159
00:08:47,760 --> 00:08:51,600
Speaker 1: Player of the Year, as we know, are nebulos to

160
00:08:51,679 --> 00:08:54,520
Speaker 1: begin with. So why don't we dispense with any overthinking

161
00:08:54,559 --> 00:08:58,840
Speaker 1: here and give the damn award to Brian Robinson Jr.

162
00:08:59,080 --> 00:09:02,720
Speaker 1: The command was running back who was shot twice in

163
00:09:02,760 --> 00:09:07,079
Speaker 1: the leg in August and Uh, come Sunday, you not.

164
00:09:07,240 --> 00:09:09,800
Speaker 1: You returned to the lineup on October and on Sunday

165
00:09:09,800 --> 00:09:13,280
Speaker 1: he looked like the guy that Washington thought they were

166
00:09:13,280 --> 00:09:16,040
Speaker 1: getting of the third round pick in the draft. He's

167
00:09:16,040 --> 00:09:18,240
Speaker 1: a great story and that was a pretty cool moment

168
00:09:18,240 --> 00:09:22,560
Speaker 1: moment in the locker room after another commander's win. It

169
00:09:22,800 --> 00:09:25,720
Speaker 1: is I think that you just shooting him in as

170
00:09:25,800 --> 00:09:27,679
Speaker 1: comeback player of the Year, which which makes a lot

171
00:09:27,720 --> 00:09:30,840
Speaker 1: of sense from a lot of angles. Um feels like

172
00:09:30,880 --> 00:09:33,320
Speaker 1: an arrow sent into the soul of Greg who's got

173
00:09:33,320 --> 00:09:35,920
Speaker 1: a Geno Smith uh card he's like to place in

174
00:09:36,000 --> 00:09:39,199
Speaker 1: for you can't take away what's happening with Gino this year.

175
00:09:39,200 --> 00:09:41,680
Speaker 1: But that doesn't bother me personally. Unfortunately, I have bad

176
00:09:41,720 --> 00:09:45,080
Speaker 1: news for you. I just googled whether rookies are eligible,

177
00:09:45,120 --> 00:09:47,960
Speaker 1: and someone wrote an article about this a month ago. Actually,

178
00:09:48,000 --> 00:09:53,200
Speaker 1: the associated prested wondering about Brian Robinson specifically, and they

179
00:09:53,360 --> 00:09:57,320
Speaker 1: were given a separate email specifically that rookies aren't candidates

180
00:09:57,320 --> 00:09:59,840
Speaker 1: because the criteria are based on what happened in the

181
00:10:00,000 --> 00:10:05,480
Speaker 1: previous NFL season. Or sent an email out about the situation.

182
00:10:05,520 --> 00:10:08,240
Speaker 1: I'm just giving him. Don't thank you for the update.

183
00:10:08,280 --> 00:10:10,160
Speaker 1: But can we stop being so precious about a kind

184
00:10:10,200 --> 00:10:14,160
Speaker 1: of a silly thing like we once gave Philip Rivers

185
00:10:14,280 --> 00:10:18,599
Speaker 1: this award just for being crappy the year before he

186
00:10:18,800 --> 00:10:22,800
Speaker 1: was sent the qb inext he was fine well. And

187
00:10:22,840 --> 00:10:27,120
Speaker 1: also why can we not amend some of these from yesteryear?

188
00:10:27,200 --> 00:10:29,360
Speaker 1: This is a special occasion. It's not going to happen

189
00:10:29,400 --> 00:10:33,120
Speaker 1: again for for decades. I mean, Gino, what is Gino

190
00:10:33,240 --> 00:10:38,439
Speaker 1: coming back from? Right? It's from from being wrongly vetted

191
00:10:38,520 --> 00:10:41,599
Speaker 1: by the New York Giants. Uh and sticking it to

192
00:10:41,880 --> 00:10:44,240
Speaker 1: I would like a most improved award? How about that?

193
00:10:44,240 --> 00:10:46,960
Speaker 1: That to me is a little more specific award and

194
00:10:47,000 --> 00:10:49,120
Speaker 1: nobody and I think that's a very that would be

195
00:10:49,200 --> 00:10:51,800
Speaker 1: a meaningful award. Your guy is at a certain level

196
00:10:51,880 --> 00:10:54,360
Speaker 1: and you show do we have that? I think that

197
00:10:54,559 --> 00:10:57,920
Speaker 1: we got clear clear for the the massive popularity of

198
00:10:57,920 --> 00:11:01,600
Speaker 1: this show relative to everything else. Why don't we have

199
00:11:01,640 --> 00:11:04,680
Speaker 1: more juice? When do we start getting juice? I did

200
00:11:04,679 --> 00:11:07,360
Speaker 1: put some numbers out about our popularity today, the rare

201
00:11:07,400 --> 00:11:10,280
Speaker 1: move that we've had over ten million downloads in the

202
00:11:10,320 --> 00:11:13,480
Speaker 1: last three months. I saw that. I just saw that. Oh,

203
00:11:13,480 --> 00:11:15,680
Speaker 1: give me a break, if like one of these shows

204
00:11:15,679 --> 00:11:18,480
Speaker 1: that NFL Networks up three percent in October, like in

205
00:11:18,520 --> 00:11:20,640
Speaker 1: a certain demo they're setting in that out. We can't

206
00:11:20,679 --> 00:11:23,280
Speaker 1: honk about ten millions. I'm talking more about the competitors.

207
00:11:23,320 --> 00:11:25,199
Speaker 1: They shouldn't even know how far behind they are in

208
00:11:25,240 --> 00:11:29,400
Speaker 1: the race. Leave them in the dark. Let's get to it.

209
00:11:30,679 --> 00:11:33,720
Speaker 1: Aaron Rodgers. Do you think Aaron Rodgers? Why lead the

210
00:11:33,720 --> 00:11:36,160
Speaker 1: news of Aaron Rodgers? He's the quarterback of a three

211
00:11:36,240 --> 00:11:40,160
Speaker 1: eight three and eight? Are there four and eight football

212
00:11:40,200 --> 00:11:42,600
Speaker 1: team that's basically even in the NFC, which is not

213
00:11:43,559 --> 00:11:45,720
Speaker 1: as nails as the a f C Right now, they're

214
00:11:45,720 --> 00:11:48,439
Speaker 1: pretty much cooked. But he's Aaron Rodgers, and he's the

215
00:11:48,480 --> 00:11:51,600
Speaker 1: defending two time m v P four times overall. And

216
00:11:51,840 --> 00:11:53,760
Speaker 1: when he left the Sunday night football game against the

217
00:11:53,760 --> 00:11:56,680
Speaker 1: Eagles with an oblique injury that looked quite painful, he

218
00:11:56,840 --> 00:11:59,680
Speaker 1: was concerned that he had a punctured lung. That's that's

219
00:11:59,760 --> 00:12:04,160
Speaker 1: how um serious he thought it might have been. When

220
00:12:04,160 --> 00:12:07,160
Speaker 1: he exited that game in Philadelphia. He was on, as

221
00:12:07,200 --> 00:12:10,760
Speaker 1: he usually is, um the Pat McAfee show this week,

222
00:12:11,000 --> 00:12:15,480
Speaker 1: and despite speculation about Jordan's love, who finished that game

223
00:12:15,520 --> 00:12:18,360
Speaker 1: in a in a very impressive manner, getting a start

224
00:12:18,400 --> 00:12:21,400
Speaker 1: this week ahead of the bye. Rogers made it sound

225
00:12:21,440 --> 00:12:23,560
Speaker 1: like he doesn't want to see anything to the kid.

226
00:12:24,080 --> 00:12:27,120
Speaker 1: I got good news with the scans yesterday, so I

227
00:12:27,160 --> 00:12:31,120
Speaker 1: plan on playing this week. You're still playing in the NFL.

228
00:12:31,320 --> 00:12:35,800
Speaker 1: You're still playing. I know hard to believe, isn't it?

229
00:12:37,080 --> 00:12:39,000
Speaker 1: And I don't. I don't. The way I put that

230
00:12:39,440 --> 00:12:41,520
Speaker 1: that was weird. Uh The way I put that makes

231
00:12:41,520 --> 00:12:43,920
Speaker 1: it sound like I'm like, Oh, Rogers isn't gonna let

232
00:12:43,920 --> 00:12:46,000
Speaker 1: the kid blite. No, he deserves every right to play

233
00:12:46,040 --> 00:12:48,360
Speaker 1: as long as he wants he But at the same time,

234
00:12:48,520 --> 00:12:50,960
Speaker 1: there might be Packers fans market that are like, kind

235
00:12:51,000 --> 00:12:52,559
Speaker 1: of want to see the kid because we got to

236
00:12:52,600 --> 00:12:55,400
Speaker 1: figure out our future a certain type of Packers spankers.

237
00:12:55,440 --> 00:12:57,520
Speaker 1: I'm sure there's still a pocket that looks at the

238
00:12:57,640 --> 00:13:00,720
Speaker 1: NFC like we're saying, there's still the chance here. If

239
00:13:00,720 --> 00:13:03,040
Speaker 1: Aaron Rodgers did what we're used to do in the past,

240
00:13:03,080 --> 00:13:05,600
Speaker 1: which is with the Green Bay Packers, run the table

241
00:13:05,640 --> 00:13:07,640
Speaker 1: down the stretch, it's not happening. This isn't that team.

242
00:13:08,160 --> 00:13:11,360
Speaker 1: I mean, he's earned the right if he's healthy, feels healthy,

243
00:13:11,440 --> 00:13:13,760
Speaker 1: strong enough to play, to just say this is my decision.

244
00:13:13,760 --> 00:13:16,800
Speaker 1: It's a different situation than other teams. I do think though,

245
00:13:17,400 --> 00:13:19,560
Speaker 1: that there has to be a pocket of Packers, fans,

246
00:13:19,640 --> 00:13:22,440
Speaker 1: and probably people within the building in the front office

247
00:13:22,480 --> 00:13:25,320
Speaker 1: thinking this would have been a great chance to see

248
00:13:25,360 --> 00:13:28,720
Speaker 1: Jordan's love, just because realistically, with the way the NFL

249
00:13:28,760 --> 00:13:31,760
Speaker 1: works now, you would have an opportunity if you're Green Bay,

250
00:13:32,160 --> 00:13:34,960
Speaker 1: if Jordan's love looked great, to hang on to Aaron

251
00:13:35,040 --> 00:13:38,199
Speaker 1: Rodgers and maybe shop Jordan's love, or in reverse, if

252
00:13:38,240 --> 00:13:40,800
Speaker 1: you want to inject your seat from a quarterback in

253
00:13:40,840 --> 00:13:43,280
Speaker 1: Aaron Rodgers and probably has one more year after this year,

254
00:13:43,320 --> 00:13:45,800
Speaker 1: if he decides to come back at all, send Aaron

255
00:13:45,880 --> 00:13:48,000
Speaker 1: Rodgers to a team like the Jets are fill in

256
00:13:48,000 --> 00:13:50,360
Speaker 1: the blank. That would give you a big jump start

257
00:13:50,400 --> 00:13:54,560
Speaker 1: on rebuilding a new team. I am amazed, or I

258
00:13:54,600 --> 00:13:57,079
Speaker 1: want more information on the timing of this. I want

259
00:13:57,080 --> 00:13:59,080
Speaker 1: more information on a lot of things that happened around

260
00:13:59,440 --> 00:14:02,600
Speaker 1: Aaron rod just like I don't know if you saw

261
00:14:02,640 --> 00:14:05,920
Speaker 1: that de Shaan Kaiser interview where he said the first

262
00:14:05,920 --> 00:14:08,360
Speaker 1: thing Aaron Rodgers ever said to him was asking him

263
00:14:08,360 --> 00:14:11,200
Speaker 1: if he thought nine eleven was real, and then went

264
00:14:11,240 --> 00:14:14,480
Speaker 1: through a whole bunch of other conspiracies that Aaron Rodgers

265
00:14:14,600 --> 00:14:18,520
Speaker 1: kind of got it was he said to look into

266
00:14:18,720 --> 00:14:20,800
Speaker 1: Like the first thing he said to Deshaun Kaiser was

267
00:14:20,880 --> 00:14:25,920
Speaker 1: looking to study it, study it up. But he was

268
00:14:28,640 --> 00:14:31,880
Speaker 1: just saying, do your research, Aaron Rodgers. I want to

269
00:14:32,000 --> 00:14:36,320
Speaker 1: know what the medical situation is within the building and

270
00:14:36,320 --> 00:14:39,480
Speaker 1: the expectation of Aaron Rodgers playing this week or not

271
00:14:39,560 --> 00:14:41,720
Speaker 1: before he said this, because for him to say this

272
00:14:42,320 --> 00:14:47,600
Speaker 1: on a Tuesday podcast appearance kind of makes it so

273
00:14:47,640 --> 00:14:52,040
Speaker 1: that he's starting this week. I'm curious, right, I'm a

274
00:14:52,080 --> 00:14:55,240
Speaker 1: little curious though, just like if they have already deemed

275
00:14:55,280 --> 00:14:57,960
Speaker 1: him medically available or if he just feels that way,

276
00:14:57,960 --> 00:15:01,000
Speaker 1: because sometimes players are more optimistic and then the doctors

277
00:15:01,120 --> 00:15:04,880
Speaker 1: are they've got a bye week coming up, for instance. Uh,

278
00:15:04,960 --> 00:15:08,720
Speaker 1: he might have seen that Bears Jets game and thought like, man,

279
00:15:08,760 --> 00:15:10,160
Speaker 1: this is a time for me to go roll up

280
00:15:10,200 --> 00:15:14,120
Speaker 1: some numbers and just like get His brother was like, yeah,

281
00:15:14,240 --> 00:15:16,640
Speaker 1: let's get White, Mike White on the field instead of

282
00:15:16,680 --> 00:15:19,000
Speaker 1: Wilson for this Bears game and get some good vibes.

283
00:15:19,040 --> 00:15:22,440
Speaker 1: That's probably what maybe Matt Laflour is thinking. And speaking

284
00:15:22,440 --> 00:15:25,200
Speaker 1: of Matt lafore, did anyone notice after I know it

285
00:15:25,240 --> 00:15:26,920
Speaker 1: was late in the game and it was kind of decided,

286
00:15:26,960 --> 00:15:28,960
Speaker 1: even though it looked like it was closer the final score.

287
00:15:29,000 --> 00:15:33,320
Speaker 1: On Sunday night, after the first Jordan's Love touchdown to Watson,

288
00:15:33,680 --> 00:15:38,000
Speaker 1: they cut to Matt Lafleur, um, you know you had

289
00:15:38,040 --> 00:15:40,920
Speaker 1: what you had? You had love on the bench and

290
00:15:41,080 --> 00:15:43,640
Speaker 1: holding the iPad, and Laflour was like leaning over him

291
00:15:43,680 --> 00:15:46,560
Speaker 1: in a smiling, animated way, like chopping up. All right,

292
00:15:46,560 --> 00:15:49,000
Speaker 1: what do we was like, have we ever seen like

293
00:15:49,040 --> 00:15:52,840
Speaker 1: that with Rogers, especially this all season? So you're so

294
00:15:52,880 --> 00:15:55,920
Speaker 1: funny at the moment, Like Matt Lafleur hasn't hasn't looked happier.

295
00:15:56,080 --> 00:15:58,720
Speaker 1: He looks so thrilled to just be chopping it up

296
00:15:58,720 --> 00:16:01,520
Speaker 1: with this kid quarter at who probably is like listening

297
00:16:01,560 --> 00:16:04,840
Speaker 1: to him. Yeah, we should point out Matt Lafleur said,

298
00:16:04,960 --> 00:16:08,440
Speaker 1: as long as Rodgers is healthy, he's starting. He said

299
00:16:08,480 --> 00:16:11,080
Speaker 1: that quickly after the game, and he also Rodgers also

300
00:16:11,080 --> 00:16:14,400
Speaker 1: said previous to this interview that he intends to start

301
00:16:14,440 --> 00:16:17,960
Speaker 1: if healthy, as long as they're mathematically in contention. And

302
00:16:18,000 --> 00:16:21,600
Speaker 1: at that point, like right at that point, I guess

303
00:16:21,600 --> 00:16:25,040
Speaker 1: he was saying he understands, uh, the idea of Jordan's

304
00:16:25,040 --> 00:16:27,360
Speaker 1: Love playing, So there's a lot going on. I get

305
00:16:27,360 --> 00:16:29,840
Speaker 1: that Aaron Rodgers is super extra, but is it so

306
00:16:29,960 --> 00:16:34,480
Speaker 1: out of bounds for quarterback who's been their guy forever

307
00:16:34,600 --> 00:16:37,080
Speaker 1: if he did get good results away from or within

308
00:16:37,120 --> 00:16:40,160
Speaker 1: the team walls to say I am optimistic that I'll play,

309
00:16:40,160 --> 00:16:41,880
Speaker 1: that I want to play because I'm planning on playing

310
00:16:41,920 --> 00:16:43,800
Speaker 1: this week. But I don't think it's it's like a

311
00:16:43,840 --> 00:16:46,280
Speaker 1: Macavellian thing. It's like, I think, if anything, it puts

312
00:16:46,280 --> 00:16:48,200
Speaker 1: out his intentions. I want to play. If the team

313
00:16:48,240 --> 00:16:50,600
Speaker 1: shuts him down, it can't it can't spin it all

314
00:16:50,600 --> 00:16:53,840
Speaker 1: this thing where Aaron Rodgers is detached, he doesn't care,

315
00:16:54,160 --> 00:16:56,520
Speaker 1: he's willing to shut himself down. I'm just curious. I

316
00:16:56,600 --> 00:16:58,840
Speaker 1: just I'm curious, And there's no way to know of what,

317
00:16:58,960 --> 00:17:01,280
Speaker 1: like the front office is reaction when they first heard

318
00:17:01,360 --> 00:17:03,200
Speaker 1: him on the mcafe show. That's well, I'm sure they've

319
00:17:03,200 --> 00:17:06,000
Speaker 1: had reactions to multiple McAfee appearances. At this I was

320
00:17:06,040 --> 00:17:09,040
Speaker 1: going to think that's probably how they start their week.

321
00:17:09,400 --> 00:17:11,720
Speaker 1: Let's watch McAfee's show and see what's going on to

322
00:17:11,800 --> 00:17:14,240
Speaker 1: our team. Uh And by the way, the Packers have

323
00:17:14,280 --> 00:17:17,080
Speaker 1: a bye week in fourteen, so they're gonna spank Chicago,

324
00:17:17,840 --> 00:17:21,720
Speaker 1: and um, that's what I mean. It makes sense, Well

325
00:17:21,720 --> 00:17:24,280
Speaker 1: it does, but not now I'm thinking about he won't.

326
00:17:24,280 --> 00:17:28,560
Speaker 1: He'll play until maybe they're mathematically eliminated. They win this week,

327
00:17:28,600 --> 00:17:31,640
Speaker 1: they hit the by the Vikings clinch the NFC North

328
00:17:31,640 --> 00:17:33,760
Speaker 1: of the win over the Jets and a Lion's loss,

329
00:17:33,800 --> 00:17:36,120
Speaker 1: I believe. But this now becomes about the wild card

330
00:17:36,160 --> 00:17:39,040
Speaker 1: obviously for the Packers, so they'll you know, they'll probably

331
00:17:39,440 --> 00:17:42,600
Speaker 1: be in the mix until week fifteen, sixteen. You know

332
00:17:42,840 --> 00:17:44,679
Speaker 1: that's gonna go eighteen weeks. Just let me know how

333
00:17:44,720 --> 00:17:48,959
Speaker 1: those things go. All right, let's move. The Texans can

334
00:17:49,000 --> 00:17:51,840
Speaker 1: be officially eliminated this week, Dan, I know that is

335
00:17:51,920 --> 00:17:55,879
Speaker 1: on your mind. They would be the first thing. What

336
00:17:55,920 --> 00:17:59,120
Speaker 1: would be cooler than them actually refusing to do that

337
00:17:59,520 --> 00:18:02,000
Speaker 1: and stop losing and make the playoffs. Beat the brown

338
00:18:02,119 --> 00:18:08,000
Speaker 1: just beat that would be great. Quickly, there's quickly become

339
00:18:08,040 --> 00:18:12,120
Speaker 1: heroic too many. Uh. The other huge disappointing NFC team

340
00:18:12,160 --> 00:18:16,280
Speaker 1: is the Los Angeles Rams and their star defender Aaron Donald.

341
00:18:17,400 --> 00:18:21,320
Speaker 1: He has a high ankle sprain. We're learning, uh, and

342
00:18:21,400 --> 00:18:24,760
Speaker 1: he's uh. This week he's been meeting with doctors determining

343
00:18:25,160 --> 00:18:29,000
Speaker 1: the severity and Greg. Apparently there's some reporting out there

344
00:18:29,080 --> 00:18:32,479
Speaker 1: that uh Donalds, who's only missed two games his whole career,

345
00:18:32,720 --> 00:18:36,680
Speaker 1: could be shut down Allah a potential Matt Stafford situation here. Yeah,

346
00:18:36,760 --> 00:18:39,240
Speaker 1: I saw it from Jordan Rodrigue of of the Athletic

347
00:18:39,600 --> 00:18:42,800
Speaker 1: uh She She reported that, I'm not sure if it's elsewhere.

348
00:18:43,840 --> 00:18:48,480
Speaker 1: I trust Jordan's than anyone in the world at this point.

349
00:18:48,520 --> 00:18:52,120
Speaker 1: Don't expect my mom right to see Aaron Donald again

350
00:18:52,240 --> 00:18:55,120
Speaker 1: this season. First, put your mom on her heels first.

351
00:18:55,280 --> 00:19:00,000
Speaker 1: Jordan Rodriguez hit the scene Jordan Rodrigue's second God three

352
00:19:00,200 --> 00:19:05,840
Speaker 1: competition not over ahead taking the bronze here, rodrig in

353
00:19:05,880 --> 00:19:11,000
Speaker 1: a big spot. I think it's fair to question the

354
00:19:11,200 --> 00:19:14,000
Speaker 1: timing and the decision here. And I don't have a

355
00:19:14,080 --> 00:19:17,360
Speaker 1: problem with the decision, but just with the way it's

356
00:19:17,440 --> 00:19:20,520
Speaker 1: coming out here. He finished that game, he played sixties

357
00:19:20,520 --> 00:19:23,919
Speaker 1: snaps and if they were if they had their own

358
00:19:24,000 --> 00:19:26,800
Speaker 1: draft pick, people would say, well, this is tanking. I

359
00:19:26,800 --> 00:19:30,359
Speaker 1: think this is probably closer to doing an all time

360
00:19:30,480 --> 00:19:32,879
Speaker 1: great player who doesn't have anything more to prove a

361
00:19:32,960 --> 00:19:36,240
Speaker 1: solid and also thinking of load management a little bit

362
00:19:36,320 --> 00:19:39,480
Speaker 1: for next season for Aaron Donald. And that's fine paying

363
00:19:39,520 --> 00:19:41,520
Speaker 1: him a lot of money to play football, but I

364
00:19:41,520 --> 00:19:44,240
Speaker 1: I would guess it would come more from the team

365
00:19:45,080 --> 00:19:47,320
Speaker 1: then than it would from Aaron Donald. But that's just yes.

366
00:19:47,359 --> 00:19:50,320
Speaker 1: The Rams, of course, a part of their trade to

367
00:19:50,359 --> 00:19:54,400
Speaker 1: get Matthew Stafford, they dealt this year's upcoming years pick

368
00:19:54,480 --> 00:19:57,159
Speaker 1: to the Lions, so the Lions stand to get you know,

369
00:19:57,160 --> 00:20:00,760
Speaker 1: the Rams are I'm checking out tankathon dot com slash NFL.

370
00:20:01,280 --> 00:20:04,640
Speaker 1: They're all They're all the way up, the defending Super

371
00:20:04,680 --> 00:20:06,440
Speaker 1: Bowl champion is all the way up to the number

372
00:20:06,480 --> 00:20:10,000
Speaker 1: three overall pick in the NFL draft, and they're not

373
00:20:10,080 --> 00:20:13,640
Speaker 1: too far behind their half game behind Chicago. Houston's got

374
00:20:13,680 --> 00:20:16,200
Speaker 1: that thing and say they're most likely pick is too.

375
00:20:16,680 --> 00:20:20,320
Speaker 1: I I feel like Chicago wins again if Fields doesn't play.

376
00:20:21,880 --> 00:20:24,119
Speaker 1: Fields returns. But we used to go to cozy in

377
00:20:24,240 --> 00:20:28,720
Speaker 1: after various NFL events were not events or just a

378
00:20:28,760 --> 00:20:30,760
Speaker 1: regular day and like, but there would be times at

379
00:20:30,800 --> 00:20:33,159
Speaker 1: these events that would go into the night where suddenly

380
00:20:33,240 --> 00:20:35,760
Speaker 1: Dan Hansis was not there. He pulled the old Irish goodbye,

381
00:20:35,760 --> 00:20:37,639
Speaker 1: and he has Irish heritage, so he's skilled at it,

382
00:20:37,800 --> 00:20:40,199
Speaker 1: like the Rams are pulling and Irish goodbye to the season.

383
00:20:40,840 --> 00:20:42,760
Speaker 1: That's sort of how I see. It's like, well, well said,

384
00:20:42,920 --> 00:20:45,520
Speaker 1: it's not a tank. There's no real purpose there. It's

385
00:20:45,560 --> 00:20:47,760
Speaker 1: just like get higher in the second round. I guess,

386
00:20:47,800 --> 00:20:51,520
Speaker 1: But that seems so. I mean, that's don't worry about

387
00:20:51,520 --> 00:20:53,320
Speaker 1: playing the last month of the season. Got a second

388
00:20:53,400 --> 00:20:56,439
Speaker 1: round pick. Pick needs to be two slots higher. But

389
00:20:56,480 --> 00:20:59,360
Speaker 1: I guess literally that is more effective than anything else

390
00:20:59,359 --> 00:21:02,000
Speaker 1: they can accompany. What a mess this year is. Okay,

391
00:21:02,040 --> 00:21:05,960
Speaker 1: we've got some developing news here from uh the soccer game.

392
00:21:06,800 --> 00:21:10,159
Speaker 1: Zimmerman just came in as a sub mark. What is

393
00:21:10,200 --> 00:21:13,400
Speaker 1: your analysis at the eighty one minute too early? Too late?

394
00:21:13,440 --> 00:21:15,240
Speaker 1: Do you like the move? I like the move. I

395
00:21:15,240 --> 00:21:20,000
Speaker 1: think I think you're saved for last minute spark here. Okay,

396
00:21:20,200 --> 00:21:22,200
Speaker 1: I know the intonation is that I don't understand the

397
00:21:22,240 --> 00:21:25,680
Speaker 1: sport rereg but I actually spent all Saturday watching American English. No,

398
00:21:25,680 --> 00:21:28,240
Speaker 1: none of us um are experts, so I think we

399
00:21:28,280 --> 00:21:31,479
Speaker 1: all are are owning that. No, not an expert on

400
00:21:31,480 --> 00:21:35,800
Speaker 1: this side of the table either, but we're look at this,

401
00:21:35,800 --> 00:21:37,960
Speaker 1: this is compelling radio. We got about we got about

402
00:21:37,960 --> 00:21:41,440
Speaker 1: ten minutes. Three guys watching television will be long hanger

403
00:21:41,520 --> 00:21:44,440
Speaker 1: by the time. Mark much like my parents initially thought

404
00:21:44,520 --> 00:21:46,959
Speaker 1: this was radio thinks it still thinks of it as cut. Well,

405
00:21:46,960 --> 00:21:49,960
Speaker 1: it's don't even correct. It's just cute um sound in

406
00:21:50,000 --> 00:21:52,679
Speaker 1: your ear unless you're one of these goons watching on YouTube.

407
00:21:52,720 --> 00:21:54,679
Speaker 1: Sat at the Debbie and Tom they're pretty loyal. They

408
00:21:54,720 --> 00:21:57,439
Speaker 1: listened to around the NFL now on their walks. So

409
00:21:58,000 --> 00:21:59,960
Speaker 1: that's well, hello to both of you. What are they

410
00:22:00,000 --> 00:22:01,879
Speaker 1: think about us? I think they just joined in like

411
00:22:01,920 --> 00:22:03,439
Speaker 1: a year or two. One of the things Market, one

412
00:22:03,440 --> 00:22:05,480
Speaker 1: of our new listed other huge fans. They always ask

413
00:22:05,520 --> 00:22:10,800
Speaker 1: about the more than you know your wife? Everyone everyone, everyone,

414
00:22:11,440 --> 00:22:13,520
Speaker 1: Greg's wife or do they like us more than Greg's

415
00:22:13,560 --> 00:22:16,640
Speaker 1: wife likes us? That's what he meant. But either way

416
00:22:16,800 --> 00:22:23,320
Speaker 1: is we need to questions. I think everyone in the

417
00:22:23,359 --> 00:22:27,040
Speaker 1: family recognizes, um, we're We're all family now, we're in

418
00:22:27,080 --> 00:22:30,040
Speaker 1: this for life at this point, this is this is

419
00:22:30,040 --> 00:22:32,720
Speaker 1: it career wise, I'm not moving on to a second thing.

420
00:22:33,040 --> 00:22:34,959
Speaker 1: All right, Well we're gonna get that on paper at

421
00:22:34,960 --> 00:22:36,960
Speaker 1: the end of the with like nine other podcasts. Not

422
00:22:37,040 --> 00:22:40,560
Speaker 1: moving on to a second thing. Uh, injury update. You

423
00:22:40,560 --> 00:22:43,440
Speaker 1: know it's a bummer, but this is the way it goes.

424
00:22:43,480 --> 00:22:50,240
Speaker 1: It's a very physical sport. American football, and the offensive

425
00:22:50,280 --> 00:22:52,920
Speaker 1: core of the forty Niners was healthy and all together

426
00:22:53,600 --> 00:22:57,080
Speaker 1: for two weeks and it was fun and it was scary,

427
00:22:57,359 --> 00:23:00,840
Speaker 1: and Elijah Mitchell and Christian McCaffrey formed a terrifying duo

428
00:23:01,119 --> 00:23:04,600
Speaker 1: in the backfield. Well, Elijah Mitchell is back on i

429
00:23:04,920 --> 00:23:07,439
Speaker 1: R with another MCL spring. I think it's in the

430
00:23:07,480 --> 00:23:09,679
Speaker 1: other knee. So he just can't figure it out in

431
00:23:09,680 --> 00:23:12,000
Speaker 1: the m c L game this year. He's out six

432
00:23:12,080 --> 00:23:15,479
Speaker 1: to eight weeks, which do the math that takes us

433
00:23:15,480 --> 00:23:19,520
Speaker 1: what into into January, maybe deep into January. Um, so

434
00:23:19,600 --> 00:23:22,560
Speaker 1: you have Mitchell back out the door. Christian McCaffrey, by

435
00:23:22,600 --> 00:23:24,480
Speaker 1: the way, he's dealing with some knee irritation and he

436
00:23:24,560 --> 00:23:26,520
Speaker 1: was kind of in and out of the line. Keep

437
00:23:26,520 --> 00:23:31,680
Speaker 1: an eye on the Niners there. UM also Chauncey Gardner Johnson,

438
00:23:31,760 --> 00:23:34,320
Speaker 1: who has been a huge pickup for the Eagles. He's

439
00:23:34,320 --> 00:23:38,919
Speaker 1: out indefinitely, according to um Tom pell Sero, who we

440
00:23:39,040 --> 00:23:43,800
Speaker 1: call the Pells the pell Raiser, He's out indefinitely with

441
00:23:43,840 --> 00:23:47,360
Speaker 1: a lacerated kidney. That doesn't sound pleasant. That's a big

442
00:23:47,400 --> 00:23:52,640
Speaker 1: loss for Philly's secondary And we did mention, uh the Bears,

443
00:23:52,960 --> 00:23:57,640
Speaker 1: Kyle Mooney their wide receiver. The Saturday Night Live expert

444
00:23:58,800 --> 00:24:04,560
Speaker 1: start video maker for Chicago this weekend either well yeah,

445
00:24:04,600 --> 00:24:06,399
Speaker 1: you didn't let me finish cople Mooney will not be

446
00:24:06,440 --> 00:24:08,840
Speaker 1: playing for the Bears, will be working on internet shorts.

447
00:24:08,840 --> 00:24:11,719
Speaker 1: He's also a hundred and twelve pounds. Darnell Mooney their

448
00:24:11,760 --> 00:24:16,520
Speaker 1: wide receiver. He has done for the year. Uh moved

449
00:24:16,520 --> 00:24:20,479
Speaker 1: to injured reserved with a foot issue. I believe suffered

450
00:24:20,480 --> 00:24:22,720
Speaker 1: against it. I love Kyle Mooney. I was watching and

451
00:24:22,760 --> 00:24:24,879
Speaker 1: I remember the padres I think in the NLCS or

452
00:24:24,920 --> 00:24:27,159
Speaker 1: World Series, and they showed like the front row and

453
00:24:27,160 --> 00:24:29,680
Speaker 1: there was Kyle Mooney and like heavy padres gear, and

454
00:24:29,720 --> 00:24:32,720
Speaker 1: I was like, there, there, he is a real dude.

455
00:24:32,800 --> 00:24:35,240
Speaker 1: I didn't expect them to be a sports guy. Um.

456
00:24:35,640 --> 00:24:38,400
Speaker 1: So there you go. That's the injury updates and big

457
00:24:38,440 --> 00:24:42,000
Speaker 1: losses there. I'm worried about the forty running back situation.

458
00:24:42,040 --> 00:24:45,720
Speaker 1: I don't know why they treated Jeff Wilson, who they leader,

459
00:24:45,960 --> 00:24:48,600
Speaker 1: a leader in the club, like one of their captain

460
00:24:48,680 --> 00:24:51,600
Speaker 1: type of guys that that everyone looked to. And you

461
00:24:51,680 --> 00:24:55,919
Speaker 1: have two guys in McCaffrey and and uh Elijah Mitchell

462
00:24:55,920 --> 00:24:58,639
Speaker 1: who always are injured. Well, like I looked at this

463
00:24:58,640 --> 00:25:01,640
Speaker 1: a little bit. Mitch, you'll obviously missed games this year.

464
00:25:01,640 --> 00:25:03,960
Speaker 1: He missed him last year. You know they also traded

465
00:25:04,040 --> 00:25:06,640
Speaker 1: or he mustered to Mike McDaniel's team. So I like

466
00:25:06,800 --> 00:25:10,240
Speaker 1: the trade route between San Francisco and Miami is almost

467
00:25:10,320 --> 00:25:12,520
Speaker 1: like we really want to help you become a force,

468
00:25:12,560 --> 00:25:14,240
Speaker 1: and now we're gonna play you this weekend and you

469
00:25:14,280 --> 00:25:16,520
Speaker 1: have half our players. But where he must start miss

470
00:25:16,600 --> 00:25:21,200
Speaker 1: like thirty five games dating back to seen with the Niners.

471
00:25:21,680 --> 00:25:24,160
Speaker 1: Jeff Wilson missed games. Now you have Christian McCaffrey who's

472
00:25:24,200 --> 00:25:27,640
Speaker 1: historically missing games left and right. It's like McCaffrey aside,

473
00:25:27,680 --> 00:25:30,119
Speaker 1: like I would like to, if I had time, or

474
00:25:30,160 --> 00:25:33,800
Speaker 1: if I cared enough, look into the sports science situation

475
00:25:33,800 --> 00:25:38,080
Speaker 1: in San Francisco's running back room, because it is, well,

476
00:25:38,240 --> 00:25:40,720
Speaker 1: Tevin Coleman is miss games, but now Tevin Coleman's the

477
00:25:40,760 --> 00:25:44,760
Speaker 1: guy that Matt Barrel said, never under estimate Shanahan's fondness

478
00:25:44,800 --> 00:25:47,040
Speaker 1: for veteran Tevin Tevin Coleman, who now is a major

479
00:25:47,160 --> 00:25:49,359
Speaker 1: factor on a team that two weeks ago set an

480
00:25:49,440 --> 00:25:52,720
Speaker 1: embarrassment of riches in terms of, well, let's just get

481
00:25:53,359 --> 00:25:55,200
Speaker 1: Frank or Let's get him out of the boxing ring.

482
00:25:55,359 --> 00:25:57,520
Speaker 1: That thing is. That's not a good look. Let's get

483
00:25:57,560 --> 00:25:59,760
Speaker 1: him back on the field. Get your boy the inconvenient

484
00:25:59,800 --> 00:26:03,000
Speaker 1: true in that back field. Give a nice three point

485
00:26:03,040 --> 00:26:05,520
Speaker 1: six yards per carry. It doesn't really fit with the

486
00:26:06,040 --> 00:26:08,960
Speaker 1: Shanahan sort of one cut and go. I just want

487
00:26:09,000 --> 00:26:11,760
Speaker 1: like four or three speed guys. Should they usually go

488
00:26:11,840 --> 00:26:14,760
Speaker 1: for like Tevin Coleman back on that two thousand sixteen

489
00:26:14,840 --> 00:26:19,920
Speaker 1: Falcons team. Uh tendency breaker? All right, let's take a break.

490
00:26:29,320 --> 00:26:34,439
Speaker 1: The future is a mystery, and that's the beauty of it,

491
00:26:34,480 --> 00:26:40,840
Speaker 1: but also what makes it scary. There's a frightening element

492
00:26:40,920 --> 00:26:45,080
Speaker 1: of not knowing what happens next. Here in the NFL.

493
00:26:45,200 --> 00:26:49,439
Speaker 1: We have six weeks remaining in the regular season, and

494
00:26:49,480 --> 00:26:54,960
Speaker 1: we will use our powers, our crystal ball. In fact, now,

495
00:26:54,960 --> 00:26:58,080
Speaker 1: do we have a crystal ball physically? Maybe something for

496
00:26:58,080 --> 00:27:01,960
Speaker 1: the prop department to get on next year's segment this year,

497
00:27:02,880 --> 00:27:06,000
Speaker 1: just imagine it. We will look into our crystal ball

498
00:27:07,520 --> 00:27:09,960
Speaker 1: and we will predict how the regular season will play

499
00:27:10,000 --> 00:27:16,240
Speaker 1: out for several teams. Mark, get us go. I'm gonna

500
00:27:16,240 --> 00:27:24,600
Speaker 1: start with an individual prediction on December week seventeen. Why'd

501
00:27:24,640 --> 00:27:27,080
Speaker 1: always start with Mark, I always make the same mistake.

502
00:27:27,920 --> 00:27:32,280
Speaker 1: This is a prediction. It's kind of a stake. Odell Beckham,

503
00:27:32,280 --> 00:27:34,760
Speaker 1: now at this point, nestled with the Cowboys on Thursday

504
00:27:34,840 --> 00:27:39,119
Speaker 1: Night Football against the Titans, makes an incredible one handed

505
00:27:39,160 --> 00:27:43,119
Speaker 1: grab down the right sideline that on tape resembles a

506
00:27:43,160 --> 00:27:47,640
Speaker 1: carbon copy of Beckham's rookie heroics from after the game.

507
00:27:47,840 --> 00:27:52,320
Speaker 1: Jerry Jones, a top eight, number one seeded Cowboys team

508
00:27:52,400 --> 00:27:56,359
Speaker 1: tells reporters. I've said before, O'Dell has always been like

509
00:27:56,400 --> 00:27:58,520
Speaker 1: a son to me. We're proud to have him wear

510
00:27:58,560 --> 00:28:04,480
Speaker 1: the star on his helmet. Every segment takes on a

511
00:28:04,520 --> 00:28:10,880
Speaker 1: similar form for Mark. This is a specific play prediction

512
00:28:10,920 --> 00:28:15,119
Speaker 1: in postgame reaction, I'll take the prop I'll take the

513
00:28:15,119 --> 00:28:19,600
Speaker 1: sandwich problem and a team prediction. I called them the

514
00:28:19,680 --> 00:28:21,240
Speaker 1: best team in the end. They were. They're going to

515
00:28:21,280 --> 00:28:23,480
Speaker 1: be the number one seed already by December twenty nine,

516
00:28:23,520 --> 00:28:25,720
Speaker 1: because there's still two weeks left of the regular season.

517
00:28:25,720 --> 00:28:31,360
Speaker 1: But I think if they beat the Eagles, Cowboys, Yeah,

518
00:28:31,920 --> 00:28:34,840
Speaker 1: that was that was couched within that graph there that

519
00:28:34,880 --> 00:28:36,520
Speaker 1: I just read. Do you have anything on like any

520
00:28:36,520 --> 00:28:39,320
Speaker 1: other air travel issues for Odell between now and December

521
00:28:39,320 --> 00:28:41,600
Speaker 1: twenty nine. I think that will clear itself up by

522
00:28:41,600 --> 00:28:46,200
Speaker 1: then we in that in that um recollection or vision

523
00:28:46,320 --> 00:28:49,160
Speaker 1: rather of what you saw in the Crystal Ball. Did

524
00:28:49,200 --> 00:28:52,480
Speaker 1: you go into depth about how you and Dan would

525
00:28:52,520 --> 00:28:55,320
Speaker 1: feel about it, because on our on our YouTube show,

526
00:28:55,360 --> 00:28:58,120
Speaker 1: the graphics says that it will annoy you guys. That's

527
00:28:58,160 --> 00:29:00,280
Speaker 1: what I headlined at that Odell will be as well.

528
00:29:00,560 --> 00:29:04,120
Speaker 1: Likely well, because I didn't hear that. I didn't hear that.

529
00:29:04,480 --> 00:29:07,600
Speaker 1: I kind of just let that be the spirit of it.

530
00:29:07,640 --> 00:29:10,240
Speaker 1: But I think that you and I are slightly annoyed

531
00:29:10,280 --> 00:29:15,000
Speaker 1: by love the Odell Beckham is made of O'Dell and

532
00:29:15,400 --> 00:29:18,160
Speaker 1: you know what, he kind of quieted that a little

533
00:29:18,200 --> 00:29:20,960
Speaker 1: bit by being at times a dynamic player for a

534
00:29:21,040 --> 00:29:23,720
Speaker 1: champion RAMS team before blowing his A c L. But

535
00:29:23,880 --> 00:29:25,920
Speaker 1: he does get a lot of pop for a guy

536
00:29:26,040 --> 00:29:28,040
Speaker 1: that hasn't had like a one thousand yard season in

537
00:29:28,160 --> 00:29:29,960
Speaker 1: six years and is on the wrong side of thirty

538
00:29:30,000 --> 00:29:32,680
Speaker 1: coming off a reconstructive Some guys are just bigger stars

539
00:29:32,720 --> 00:29:36,320
Speaker 1: than they are I think, maybe, but a rare guy

540
00:29:36,360 --> 00:29:39,120
Speaker 1: that crossed. I'm also asking you to imagine, like if

541
00:29:39,120 --> 00:29:41,920
Speaker 1: he does what I just said, he duplicates almost exactly

542
00:29:42,160 --> 00:29:45,280
Speaker 1: the one now is a cowboy in a major game

543
00:29:45,320 --> 00:29:47,560
Speaker 1: on Thursday Football against a Titans team that could be

544
00:29:47,640 --> 00:29:50,000
Speaker 1: highly seated, Like, you don't think that's coverage, won't get

545
00:29:50,040 --> 00:29:52,400
Speaker 1: an annoying twenty four hours. I see, if he does

546
00:29:52,440 --> 00:29:55,720
Speaker 1: something special to warrant all the attention, he gets less

547
00:29:55,720 --> 00:29:58,520
Speaker 1: annoying if he If he does nothing and he still

548
00:29:58,560 --> 00:30:02,400
Speaker 1: gets covered as if he is justin Jefferson and Randy

549
00:30:02,440 --> 00:30:05,120
Speaker 1: Moss rolled into one. That that's what sometimes gets in

550
00:30:05,200 --> 00:30:07,280
Speaker 1: my radar with Odell. I'm not even giving him heat

551
00:30:07,280 --> 00:30:10,440
Speaker 1: about the airplane thing like I smashed in Miami. We've

552
00:30:10,480 --> 00:30:12,280
Speaker 1: not even touched that. The man just trying to pass

553
00:30:12,280 --> 00:30:14,920
Speaker 1: out in peace on the plane after party in Miami,

554
00:30:15,720 --> 00:30:18,760
Speaker 1: and they're giving him the business for him. The agent

555
00:30:18,760 --> 00:30:21,480
Speaker 1: went a little hard on the flight attendant in terms

556
00:30:21,480 --> 00:30:25,160
Speaker 1: of some of his scriptors. I mean, I'm willing to

557
00:30:25,560 --> 00:30:29,040
Speaker 1: just understand or feel in my mind that that I

558
00:30:29,040 --> 00:30:31,360
Speaker 1: don't know that whole story and I never will know it,

559
00:30:31,440 --> 00:30:37,080
Speaker 1: but that I'll just recognize and to discuss it. You know.

560
00:30:37,120 --> 00:30:39,920
Speaker 1: I'm just I'm just saying I'm not letting him off

561
00:30:39,960 --> 00:30:42,840
Speaker 1: the hook, but I'll never really know, right I think

562
00:30:42,880 --> 00:30:46,600
Speaker 1: he was, Yeah, that might be It could be very

563
00:30:47,160 --> 00:30:49,120
Speaker 1: but we don't know. It could be simple. I think

564
00:30:49,200 --> 00:30:51,280
Speaker 1: I care about the professional of the flight attendant to

565
00:30:51,400 --> 00:30:52,920
Speaker 1: be a lot of people to listen to the show

566
00:30:52,960 --> 00:30:56,320
Speaker 1: or flight attendants. I presume, well, this crystal ball vision

567
00:30:56,400 --> 00:31:00,560
Speaker 1: is uncomfortably close. We have different a second crystal at

568
00:31:00,720 --> 00:31:03,160
Speaker 1: Iron's got a big shot here, hang on a little

569
00:31:03,160 --> 00:31:06,040
Speaker 1: free kick action where in the minute they have nine

570
00:31:06,080 --> 00:31:09,560
Speaker 1: minutes of extra time, we just missed to the left.

571
00:31:11,800 --> 00:31:17,760
Speaker 1: He's in pain mentally mentally the Americans celebratory. That seemed

572
00:31:17,760 --> 00:31:19,520
Speaker 1: like an American woman right there. Now, I am, I

573
00:31:19,560 --> 00:31:22,680
Speaker 1: am curious and you're right, uh, I'm curious how much

574
00:31:22,680 --> 00:31:25,280
Speaker 1: of our our English listeners have now turned over to

575
00:31:25,320 --> 00:31:30,000
Speaker 1: this game because they've they've celebrated a romp over Wales three.

576
00:31:30,040 --> 00:31:32,920
Speaker 1: Nothing but be proud of yourselves, England. You still you

577
00:31:32,960 --> 00:31:35,120
Speaker 1: still won the group stage. It was a little embarrassing

578
00:31:35,160 --> 00:31:37,640
Speaker 1: how you were outplayed by the US, but you know

579
00:31:37,800 --> 00:31:40,080
Speaker 1: you got the job done well. I think they'd be

580
00:31:40,080 --> 00:31:43,120
Speaker 1: one of the second team. I'm rooting for England, all right.

581
00:31:43,200 --> 00:31:46,320
Speaker 1: Let's why why I wouldn't know why you would feel

582
00:31:46,360 --> 00:31:53,320
Speaker 1: that way, Because because because what I mean, because I

583
00:31:53,400 --> 00:31:58,440
Speaker 1: we've who you or do you have some do you

584
00:31:58,520 --> 00:32:00,720
Speaker 1: would you like to see them suffers at your cake? No,

585
00:32:00,840 --> 00:32:03,760
Speaker 1: of course, I'm I'm England's fine, They're cool of me.

586
00:32:04,640 --> 00:32:06,440
Speaker 1: I wanted to all right, let's get back. My house

587
00:32:06,520 --> 00:32:09,440
Speaker 1: is a big Samurai blue household. So Japan is the

588
00:32:09,520 --> 00:32:15,320
Speaker 1: number two spots. And because the kids wife very unfortunately,

589
00:32:15,320 --> 00:32:17,040
Speaker 1: they play at two in the morning. So what's really

590
00:32:17,080 --> 00:32:20,120
Speaker 1: the alright, my crystal ball, Yeah, we got them from

591
00:32:20,120 --> 00:32:23,320
Speaker 1: different stores. They were actually store bought crystal balls. Um,

592
00:32:23,360 --> 00:32:25,760
Speaker 1: but we had access So I got mine from a

593
00:32:25,800 --> 00:32:28,960
Speaker 1: mystical wizard atop a mountain. But we have access to

594
00:32:29,000 --> 00:32:35,040
Speaker 1: spell only people on TV uh can go to Illuminati

595
00:32:35,640 --> 00:32:38,560
Speaker 1: crystal Ball. And when I looked into it, it was

596
00:32:38,600 --> 00:32:42,240
Speaker 1: similar to to Marx and it involved the Cowboys, and

597
00:32:42,240 --> 00:32:46,280
Speaker 1: it was that the Cowboys would be playing for the

598
00:32:46,400 --> 00:32:51,280
Speaker 1: number one seed in week eighteen. Wow, you guys really

599
00:32:51,280 --> 00:32:54,479
Speaker 1: are unlocks. I know. I wish, um, I wish our

600
00:32:54,520 --> 00:32:56,840
Speaker 1: crystal balls were a little different so that we knew

601
00:32:56,880 --> 00:32:59,520
Speaker 1: that they were so almost confirmed. I mean, you're you're

602
00:32:59,520 --> 00:33:01,760
Speaker 1: having it's true, you know it's a good thing. Or

603
00:33:01,840 --> 00:33:05,200
Speaker 1: we got the exact same crystal ball from the same store,

604
00:33:05,440 --> 00:33:09,640
Speaker 1: and then I want to refund the same visions. This

605
00:33:09,720 --> 00:33:14,880
Speaker 1: team right now not only is loaded defensively number one

606
00:33:15,960 --> 00:33:18,040
Speaker 1: now in d v O A, they've passed the Patriots,

607
00:33:18,040 --> 00:33:20,440
Speaker 1: and that's a fake Patriots number one. They got the

608
00:33:20,440 --> 00:33:23,440
Speaker 1: Colts and the Texans. They're at Jacksonville, which is frisky.

609
00:33:24,240 --> 00:33:27,200
Speaker 1: But then they have that big game Saturday night against

610
00:33:27,240 --> 00:33:30,480
Speaker 1: the Philadelphia Eagles, which could wind up deciding the NFC East.

611
00:33:30,560 --> 00:33:33,240
Speaker 1: You mentioned the Thursday night affair against the Titans. I

612
00:33:33,240 --> 00:33:35,360
Speaker 1: don't necessarily think even they have to win both of

613
00:33:35,360 --> 00:33:37,960
Speaker 1: those games. As long as they beat the Eagles, I

614
00:33:38,000 --> 00:33:40,800
Speaker 1: think they're gonna be in position to go get that

615
00:33:40,880 --> 00:33:44,200
Speaker 1: one seed. I am a believer in what Dak Prescott

616
00:33:44,720 --> 00:33:48,160
Speaker 1: is showing me right now and when he's at his best,

617
00:33:48,320 --> 00:33:51,520
Speaker 1: and he's had some ups and downs. Those who are

618
00:33:51,560 --> 00:33:53,640
Speaker 1: fans of Dock, and I consider myself one of them,

619
00:33:53,960 --> 00:33:56,480
Speaker 1: have to admit that some seasons haven't been better than others.

620
00:33:56,560 --> 00:33:59,680
Speaker 1: But when he's right, he's a top five quarterback, and

621
00:33:59,720 --> 00:34:02,160
Speaker 1: I think he has the looks of a top five quarterback.

622
00:34:02,240 --> 00:34:04,640
Speaker 1: And this defense and this team and a pretty good

623
00:34:04,680 --> 00:34:07,400
Speaker 1: offensive line that can run, block and is well coached.

624
00:34:07,800 --> 00:34:11,960
Speaker 1: With a top five quarterback, watch out. I'm with you

625
00:34:12,000 --> 00:34:15,440
Speaker 1: on that. I like, I like the opportunity they have.

626
00:34:15,560 --> 00:34:19,080
Speaker 1: I struggle, I just said, playing for it. I still

627
00:34:19,120 --> 00:34:20,759
Speaker 1: have the Eagles in the Super Bowl, so I got

628
00:34:20,760 --> 00:34:23,520
Speaker 1: the Eagles just ahead of them, so something's gonna have

629
00:34:23,560 --> 00:34:27,360
Speaker 1: to happen there. And forty Niners, even despite the injuries

630
00:34:27,360 --> 00:34:29,719
Speaker 1: to both those teams I just mentioned, I still think

631
00:34:30,000 --> 00:34:32,680
Speaker 1: it's they're the clear top three teams with the vikings

632
00:34:32,719 --> 00:34:35,080
Speaker 1: after that, and it feels like a coin toss. But

633
00:34:35,120 --> 00:34:38,040
Speaker 1: you just looked into a crystal ball, So that tells

634
00:34:38,080 --> 00:34:39,600
Speaker 1: me a lot. And now, no matter where it came

635
00:34:39,600 --> 00:34:42,240
Speaker 1: from the store, you keep mentioning the low grade stores,

636
00:34:42,440 --> 00:34:44,560
Speaker 1: Well you got yours in a strip mall. I did

637
00:34:44,600 --> 00:34:46,399
Speaker 1: go to a mountaintop of a man with a long

638
00:34:46,400 --> 00:34:48,960
Speaker 1: white beard and a blue hat with stars on it,

639
00:34:49,080 --> 00:34:52,920
Speaker 1: and he said, take this read the future in a profound,

640
00:34:53,160 --> 00:34:55,400
Speaker 1: real way, not a kid way. And I said, all right,

641
00:34:55,400 --> 00:34:57,839
Speaker 1: I don't even know what that means until you guys

642
00:34:57,840 --> 00:34:59,600
Speaker 1: told me about your crystal balls. And it's like, oh see,

643
00:34:59,600 --> 00:35:02,080
Speaker 1: he really does Merlin knew what he's talking about. Well,

644
00:35:02,160 --> 00:35:08,400
Speaker 1: hit us with it where you know, I have to acknowledge.

645
00:35:08,400 --> 00:35:12,960
Speaker 1: And I did empowering is this week the Bucks? I

646
00:35:12,960 --> 00:35:14,640
Speaker 1: feel like West it was a WESSI is um he

647
00:35:14,719 --> 00:35:20,120
Speaker 1: used to say, you know, trust the game, not the name.

648
00:35:21,280 --> 00:35:25,680
Speaker 1: And the Bucks with their pedigree and their recent track

649
00:35:25,760 --> 00:35:28,319
Speaker 1: record of success, and of course the quarterback and the

650
00:35:28,360 --> 00:35:32,520
Speaker 1: supporting cast that we've come to expect, um good to

651
00:35:32,640 --> 00:35:36,200
Speaker 1: great things. It just hasn't happened. And I just thought

652
00:35:36,239 --> 00:35:39,280
Speaker 1: that the Cleveland lass that featured six three and outs

653
00:35:40,800 --> 00:35:46,920
Speaker 1: just a real lame overtime performance. Um, it just tells

654
00:35:46,920 --> 00:35:49,000
Speaker 1: you as we turned the calendar to December, this is it.

655
00:35:49,120 --> 00:35:50,799
Speaker 1: This is this is who they are. They're never gonna

656
00:35:50,800 --> 00:35:53,320
Speaker 1: be an explosive offense. And I know they play in

657
00:35:53,360 --> 00:35:57,239
Speaker 1: an NFC South with you know, marginal teams, mediocre to

658
00:35:57,360 --> 00:36:01,560
Speaker 1: bad teams, right, But as I look into this crystal ball,

659
00:36:01,640 --> 00:36:06,000
Speaker 1: I see continued issues for the Bucks. They got a

660
00:36:06,040 --> 00:36:09,120
Speaker 1: game Sunday night football or Monday night football game against

661
00:36:09,160 --> 00:36:13,840
Speaker 1: the Saints next week that I could see going against them.

662
00:36:13,920 --> 00:36:18,000
Speaker 1: Then they go to San Francisco, then they host the Bengals,

663
00:36:18,440 --> 00:36:22,160
Speaker 1: then they go at Arizona, then they get the Panthers

664
00:36:22,440 --> 00:36:25,839
Speaker 1: and then at Falcons. And the crystal ball is telling me,

665
00:36:26,080 --> 00:36:29,719
Speaker 1: despite everyone saying you know, they'll finish this off, they'll

666
00:36:29,760 --> 00:36:36,799
Speaker 1: take care of business, they'll get right oh oh, the

667
00:36:36,920 --> 00:36:40,680
Speaker 1: US in their own crystal ball. I foresee a win

668
00:36:40,760 --> 00:36:45,640
Speaker 1: despite right here, with a minute, No, I believe that

669
00:36:45,680 --> 00:36:49,960
Speaker 1: the Bucks will fall out of um first place or

670
00:36:49,960 --> 00:36:51,920
Speaker 1: at least drop into a tie at the very least,

671
00:36:51,960 --> 00:36:55,319
Speaker 1: and this division will be wide open as we get

672
00:36:55,320 --> 00:36:59,560
Speaker 1: to those final division games in week seventeen and eighteen.

673
00:37:00,320 --> 00:37:02,040
Speaker 1: All they have to do is lose their next game

674
00:37:02,040 --> 00:37:04,240
Speaker 1: and they're they're out of first place or they're tied

675
00:37:04,800 --> 00:37:11,560
Speaker 1: with the crisis for the Bucks, and that's what will happen.

676
00:37:11,760 --> 00:37:15,280
Speaker 1: I mean, he's scored twenty two points or more once

677
00:37:15,760 --> 00:37:18,080
Speaker 1: since Week four. It's just not happening. I'm with you.

678
00:37:18,120 --> 00:37:20,799
Speaker 1: I think I came out of I know they only

679
00:37:20,800 --> 00:37:23,920
Speaker 1: scored twenty one points in Germany against the Seahawks. Something

680
00:37:23,920 --> 00:37:25,920
Speaker 1: about that game, the way they ran the ball, they

681
00:37:26,200 --> 00:37:28,839
Speaker 1: there was you know, Julio Jones involved. You kind of self,

682
00:37:28,880 --> 00:37:30,880
Speaker 1: Maybe this is the thing that happens with Tom Brady

683
00:37:31,160 --> 00:37:34,080
Speaker 1: in general. You've been through all this crisis, hemming and hawing.

684
00:37:34,160 --> 00:37:37,440
Speaker 1: He's had a tough autumn himself personally. But now you

685
00:37:37,560 --> 00:37:40,120
Speaker 1: round in his shape and the nucleus of Tom Brady

686
00:37:40,120 --> 00:37:41,920
Speaker 1: comes out along with the rest of the team, and

687
00:37:41,920 --> 00:37:44,120
Speaker 1: then you go in. It's like, guess what, You've just

688
00:37:44,200 --> 00:37:47,360
Speaker 1: been bested by one of the better quarterback stories in

689
00:37:47,400 --> 00:37:50,919
Speaker 1: the entire league this year. Jacoby Brissette, who knows Tom

690
00:37:50,920 --> 00:37:53,120
Speaker 1: Brady as well as any guy around the league, was

691
00:37:53,160 --> 00:37:55,279
Speaker 1: not a starter and went in there and took it

692
00:37:55,320 --> 00:37:58,080
Speaker 1: to the bucks. That's the first time Tom Brady ever

693
00:37:58,080 --> 00:37:59,759
Speaker 1: went into the final couple of minutes of a game

694
00:37:59,840 --> 00:38:03,920
Speaker 1: up seven nothing, ups by seven points and we're felled.

695
00:38:04,719 --> 00:38:07,640
Speaker 1: He did it to Tom Brady. As you two watch soccer,

696
00:38:07,719 --> 00:38:10,200
Speaker 1: I might my words go into the complete ether. I'm

697
00:38:10,320 --> 00:38:15,000
Speaker 1: simply wasting my time. There are seconds left in the match,

698
00:38:15,040 --> 00:38:18,600
Speaker 1: Mark I. It was. It was a tricky decision. I

699
00:38:18,640 --> 00:38:22,120
Speaker 1: just was like attempting, we are running, we are operating

700
00:38:22,120 --> 00:38:25,040
Speaker 1: the show here. Still blame Qatar for moving this thing

701
00:38:25,120 --> 00:38:27,600
Speaker 1: to actually do and they can come to my house.

702
00:38:27,800 --> 00:38:29,759
Speaker 1: They have an issue with have you ever understood that?

703
00:38:29,800 --> 00:38:32,200
Speaker 1: So they was originally in the summer, and then then

704
00:38:32,239 --> 00:38:37,040
Speaker 1: they figured out, you know, the summer with the migrant

705
00:38:37,080 --> 00:38:41,600
Speaker 1: workers that were tasked with building all those stadiums, where

706
00:38:41,640 --> 00:38:44,439
Speaker 1: they decided the players can't play. We're through, by the way,

707
00:38:44,520 --> 00:38:47,800
Speaker 1: and they've done it. The players can't play in the summer.

708
00:38:47,840 --> 00:38:50,080
Speaker 1: But they had these poor workers building these stadiums in

709
00:38:50,080 --> 00:38:54,359
Speaker 1: one and twenty degree temperatures. That's why they moved into

710
00:38:54,360 --> 00:38:57,480
Speaker 1: winters entirely too hot. Yeah, it seems like a complete botch.

711
00:38:57,640 --> 00:39:03,600
Speaker 1: Great job at we're through, very nice. That would be fun,

712
00:39:04,719 --> 00:39:08,319
Speaker 1: so they so they're not got tournament with England, and

713
00:39:08,640 --> 00:39:13,839
Speaker 1: I believe we'll be playing Netherlands. Who the FIFA world

714
00:39:13,960 --> 00:39:17,280
Speaker 1: rankings tell me is eighth. That feels like a good draw.

715
00:39:18,680 --> 00:39:21,759
Speaker 1: Former home of Mr F to a ball. It's a

716
00:39:21,880 --> 00:39:26,799
Speaker 1: rivalry matchup. Mr. You're going now? Mr is now back

717
00:39:26,840 --> 00:39:29,759
Speaker 1: in the States, and he's American to begin with, but

718
00:39:29,800 --> 00:39:32,400
Speaker 1: he's a he's a world traveler, so who knows? He

719
00:39:32,480 --> 00:39:35,759
Speaker 1: might be gar? Yeah, anything else? Anybodys have another one

720
00:39:35,760 --> 00:39:37,719
Speaker 1: they want to throw out there? I do. I thought

721
00:39:37,719 --> 00:39:39,440
Speaker 1: we were doing too. I don't know. We gotta keep

722
00:39:39,480 --> 00:39:42,120
Speaker 1: moving here, but go ahead, all right if you feel strong.

723
00:39:42,239 --> 00:39:44,600
Speaker 1: But you just had one and we didn't listen to it. No,

724
00:39:44,760 --> 00:39:47,319
Speaker 1: he was replying to mine. You could have been doing

725
00:39:47,400 --> 00:39:49,040
Speaker 1: his in that window. Kind I'll give you, I'll give

726
00:39:49,080 --> 00:39:52,799
Speaker 1: you this one. Yeah, that's our little uh engaged we were,

727
00:39:52,880 --> 00:39:56,120
Speaker 1: that's our fallow, I mean that is all right? Here

728
00:39:56,120 --> 00:40:00,480
Speaker 1: we go. Oh, the six and five Chargers hit skits

729
00:40:00,520 --> 00:40:03,920
Speaker 1: like an old downtown l A hobo, tumbling to the Raiders,

730
00:40:04,239 --> 00:40:07,080
Speaker 1: getting smacked by the Dolphins and physically scorched by the

731
00:40:07,080 --> 00:40:11,320
Speaker 1: Titans at six and eight. Brandon Staley's seat is wicked

732
00:40:11,360 --> 00:40:15,560
Speaker 1: piss a hot his mission outdual x ESPN analyst Jeff

733
00:40:15,640 --> 00:40:18,840
Speaker 1: Saturday on Monday Night Football in Week sixteen, in a

734
00:40:18,920 --> 00:40:22,719
Speaker 1: super tight tilt, Mr Saturday shows he's learned from his

735
00:40:22,800 --> 00:40:26,240
Speaker 1: past game management tumbles, going so far as to impress

736
00:40:26,280 --> 00:40:29,040
Speaker 1: couch sitters on Twitter with his adroit use of a

737
00:40:29,120 --> 00:40:31,560
Speaker 1: time out with thirty seven seconds to go in the

738
00:40:31,600 --> 00:40:35,400
Speaker 1: game that sets up a game winning field goal attempt. Meanwhile,

739
00:40:36,560 --> 00:40:40,600
Speaker 1: Brandon Staley is enthusiastically slapped on the back by numbers

740
00:40:40,640 --> 00:40:44,200
Speaker 1: bods for going forward on fourth and three, fourth and five,

741
00:40:44,480 --> 00:40:46,600
Speaker 1: and fourth and twenty one, all from within l a

Speaker 1: a luxury beach and Turks and Kikos reading House Beautiful,

747
00:41:03,760 --> 00:41:07,280
Speaker 1: while Chargers Ownership sits an hour five of a burning

748
00:41:07,280 --> 00:41:12,759
Speaker 1: hot phone call with Sean Payton. Okay, first of all,

749
00:41:13,280 --> 00:41:16,239
Speaker 1: a lot of questions here, House Beautiful. I need more

750
00:41:16,440 --> 00:41:19,239
Speaker 1: context than that. That's a number, that's a magazine, that's

751
00:41:19,239 --> 00:41:23,840
Speaker 1: a publication for people that are into uh essentially house

752
00:41:24,560 --> 00:41:27,560
Speaker 1: interior decoration in house Nick next. Okay, Second of all,

753
00:41:27,640 --> 00:41:32,440
Speaker 1: clearly Mark was not enjoying the the Nerds getting on

754
00:41:32,920 --> 00:41:35,160
Speaker 1: Jeff Saturday, and I am putting myself in that group

755
00:41:35,239 --> 00:41:38,000
Speaker 1: for time. Enjoy it. Fine, it's just like I mean.

756
00:41:38,239 --> 00:41:39,640
Speaker 1: And the third I would just this is more of

757
00:41:39,680 --> 00:41:42,680
Speaker 1: just like a point of information. If the Chargers were

758
00:41:42,680 --> 00:41:45,759
Speaker 1: going for it on fourth and one, within their own

759
00:41:45,800 --> 00:41:48,560
Speaker 1: twenty five, they were, they were on the four arline

760
00:41:49,040 --> 00:41:51,279
Speaker 1: or the three, the tour or the one. So what

761
00:41:51,360 --> 00:41:53,759
Speaker 1: a bold? That would be a bold. It's like going

762
00:41:53,920 --> 00:41:56,040
Speaker 1: all out. And what he could tell was like an

763
00:41:56,120 --> 00:41:59,359
Speaker 1: edge moment. Wanted to spell out the humor and ruin it.

764
00:41:59,480 --> 00:42:01,839
Speaker 1: And I never want to shackle you, Mark, but you

765
00:42:01,880 --> 00:42:05,720
Speaker 1: are aware that uh, your crystal ball predictions are exactly

766
00:42:05,760 --> 00:42:08,200
Speaker 1: the same as your Friday Fun Show predictions and your

767
00:42:08,239 --> 00:42:11,320
Speaker 1: sandwich props, and you're what's more likely they're all the same.

768
00:42:11,560 --> 00:42:14,520
Speaker 1: I only care if the listener likes them. All right, well,

769
00:42:14,560 --> 00:42:17,319
Speaker 1: that's the most important thing. Are we good here? Can

770
00:42:17,360 --> 00:42:20,240
Speaker 1: we move on? I enjoyed it. I enjoyed it great?

771
00:42:20,480 --> 00:42:22,520
Speaker 1: Are we good? Let's move on. We'll be right back

772
00:42:22,560 --> 00:42:27,759
Speaker 1: and we'll hit the Thursday Night preview? All right, welcome back,

773
00:42:27,800 --> 00:42:31,280
Speaker 1: and yes, this t NF preview is presented by Prime Video,

774
00:42:31,520 --> 00:42:35,600
Speaker 1: the new exclusive home for Thursday Night Football. Is still new.

775
00:42:36,000 --> 00:42:39,560
Speaker 1: It's new, but it's more like new wish. All right,

776
00:42:39,880 --> 00:42:45,000
Speaker 1: let's get into it. A f C East tilt, Greggy Rosenthal,

777
00:42:45,760 --> 00:42:48,640
Speaker 1: you got your new England Patriots and it's a huge

778
00:42:48,680 --> 00:42:51,040
Speaker 1: game for the Pats. Let's face it on a couple

779
00:42:51,040 --> 00:42:57,120
Speaker 1: of levels. They're coming off a competitive but still frustrating

780
00:42:57,160 --> 00:43:01,560
Speaker 1: loss to the Vikings on Thanksgiving. That was their fifth loss. Um.

781
00:43:01,640 --> 00:43:03,480
Speaker 1: You have to track these losses now as we're getting

782
00:43:03,480 --> 00:43:08,359
Speaker 1: deeper into the season. If you go to um, uh,

783
00:43:08,400 --> 00:43:10,960
Speaker 1: if you get beat by Buffalo here, you're in a

784
00:43:11,000 --> 00:43:13,919
Speaker 1: bad way. Uh. You almost need to find a way.

785
00:43:14,000 --> 00:43:17,000
Speaker 1: And yet the Bills have really owned the Patriots in

786
00:43:17,040 --> 00:43:20,560
Speaker 1: the last couple of years. Yeah, after last season where

787
00:43:20,600 --> 00:43:23,840
Speaker 1: the Patriots did not force a punt in the final

788
00:43:24,000 --> 00:43:26,440
Speaker 1: two games that he played against, Josh Allen, I think

789
00:43:26,440 --> 00:43:29,520
Speaker 1: who played quarterback at a level as high as I've

790
00:43:29,520 --> 00:43:31,440
Speaker 1: ever seen any quarterback, and he kept it going the

791
00:43:31,480 --> 00:43:34,719
Speaker 1: next week in Kansas City. Uh. By the way, I

792
00:43:34,760 --> 00:43:36,719
Speaker 1: just don't know what answers they have. I know this

793
00:43:36,800 --> 00:43:40,719
Speaker 1: is a different Bills offense right now than than they

794
00:43:40,760 --> 00:43:43,840
Speaker 1: were at that point in the season a year ago.

795
00:43:43,920 --> 00:43:47,239
Speaker 1: But Josh Allen's coming to Foxborough. It's supposed to be

796
00:43:47,280 --> 00:43:50,759
Speaker 1: windy in this game. Maybe that helps you out. He's

797
00:43:50,760 --> 00:43:53,320
Speaker 1: got the UCL injury. Maybe the weather, you know, the

798
00:43:53,360 --> 00:43:56,919
Speaker 1: fact that he's playing outdoors and it's windy gives them

799
00:43:56,960 --> 00:43:59,160
Speaker 1: a hand and you think, okay, running game that that

800
00:43:59,239 --> 00:44:02,520
Speaker 1: favors the patrio. It's right. The Patriots are the worst

801
00:44:02,719 --> 00:44:06,000
Speaker 1: running team in the league in E p A since

802
00:44:06,080 --> 00:44:09,319
Speaker 1: Week six. I don't know anything about this Patriots team.

803
00:44:09,360 --> 00:44:11,520
Speaker 1: They were one of the most mystifying teams I think

804
00:44:11,520 --> 00:44:15,640
Speaker 1: in the NFL. They're they're asking Mac Jones to run

805
00:44:15,680 --> 00:44:18,160
Speaker 1: an offense that goes downfield all the time, which doesn't

806
00:44:18,160 --> 00:44:20,319
Speaker 1: shouldn't work against the Bells work last week though it

807
00:44:20,360 --> 00:44:24,120
Speaker 1: looked great. Their defense is ranked super high, but they're

808
00:44:24,160 --> 00:44:26,919
Speaker 1: really high in variance to whether either great or they're

809
00:44:27,040 --> 00:44:30,200
Speaker 1: pretty mediocre, and they haven't been great against good quarterbacks.

810
00:44:30,440 --> 00:44:32,200
Speaker 1: I don't. I think they have a chance because they

811
00:44:32,239 --> 00:44:34,719
Speaker 1: have good things in their team that pop up, but

812
00:44:34,800 --> 00:44:37,759
Speaker 1: they're very confusing to me. There's almost nothing that's been

813
00:44:37,800 --> 00:44:40,919
Speaker 1: consistent about this team week to week, month to month,

814
00:44:40,960 --> 00:44:45,880
Speaker 1: and that's very unlike a Patriot team. Okay, I was

815
00:44:45,920 --> 00:44:50,680
Speaker 1: gonna say the the Belichick ft up hive was kicked

816
00:44:50,760 --> 00:44:54,960
Speaker 1: up again on Thanksgiving because they were again a lot

817
00:44:54,960 --> 00:44:57,960
Speaker 1: of self inflicted errors that you don't usually see from

818
00:44:58,000 --> 00:45:00,640
Speaker 1: New England, especially this time of year. They let other

819
00:45:00,680 --> 00:45:04,239
Speaker 1: teams um set themselves on fire as they soar to

820
00:45:04,400 --> 00:45:06,759
Speaker 1: victory after victory. The over three in the red zone,

821
00:45:06,800 --> 00:45:09,000
Speaker 1: I know Undrew Henry caught it, but over three in

822
00:45:09,040 --> 00:45:11,320
Speaker 1: the red zone they surrender a kickoff return for a touchdown.

823
00:45:11,360 --> 00:45:15,000
Speaker 1: They commit five penalties to create first downs for the Vikings.

824
00:45:15,680 --> 00:45:18,879
Speaker 1: And is that because this team doesn't have the right

825
00:45:18,920 --> 00:45:21,000
Speaker 1: balance behind the scenes on the coaching stuff. For sure,

826
00:45:21,080 --> 00:45:23,120
Speaker 1: that's that's something you want to debate. Go ahead, but

827
00:45:23,200 --> 00:45:25,000
Speaker 1: it does surprise me and Damian Harris being out of

828
00:45:25,040 --> 00:45:27,560
Speaker 1: the mix again, that's not gonna help. They really have something,

829
00:45:27,600 --> 00:45:30,759
Speaker 1: I think with Stevenson and Harris as a backfield. But

830
00:45:31,000 --> 00:45:32,960
Speaker 1: how much of this is just the line and its

831
00:45:33,000 --> 00:45:35,960
Speaker 1: inability to be efficient this year? I think it's almost

832
00:45:35,960 --> 00:45:38,480
Speaker 1: all the line because Stevenson is awesome. Harris won't play

833
00:45:38,480 --> 00:45:43,160
Speaker 1: in this game most likely, which is unfortunate. That kind

834
00:45:43,160 --> 00:45:44,799
Speaker 1: of gets to what I was talking about too, that

835
00:45:44,840 --> 00:45:48,200
Speaker 1: at points this year the lines looked great. Now Isaiah

836
00:45:48,200 --> 00:45:51,120
Speaker 1: Winn is out, who hasn't played great. Uh. Overall, it's

837
00:45:51,160 --> 00:45:53,719
Speaker 1: just been very inconsistent. They did block really well and

838
00:45:53,800 --> 00:45:56,080
Speaker 1: gavemac Jones some time a week ago, which was the

839
00:45:56,120 --> 00:45:58,520
Speaker 1: first time, so that's like something to build on. I

840
00:45:58,640 --> 00:46:00,880
Speaker 1: just I just don't know what you're gonna get with

841
00:46:00,880 --> 00:46:03,239
Speaker 1: this team. It was the first last two weeks. In

842
00:46:03,239 --> 00:46:05,840
Speaker 1: the first two weeks from mac Jones has looked comfortable

843
00:46:05,880 --> 00:46:08,000
Speaker 1: to me, and I thought last week was a real step.

844
00:46:08,040 --> 00:46:10,839
Speaker 1: I used to your point with the Patriots, I don't

845
00:46:10,880 --> 00:46:12,440
Speaker 1: know what translates from week to week. I mean, if

846
00:46:12,480 --> 00:46:15,400
Speaker 1: you look at their winds, they came against the floating

847
00:46:15,440 --> 00:46:19,040
Speaker 1: Steelers team, uh, the Lions who were not they were

848
00:46:19,080 --> 00:46:21,320
Speaker 1: having their issues at the time, a Brown's team that

849
00:46:21,400 --> 00:46:25,719
Speaker 1: was discombobulated, two wins over the Zach Wilson Jets, and

850
00:46:25,800 --> 00:46:28,680
Speaker 1: a Sam Elnger led Colts team that got demolished by

851
00:46:28,680 --> 00:46:31,080
Speaker 1: New England. So it's like where they but they beat

852
00:46:31,160 --> 00:46:33,480
Speaker 1: them down in a way that other teams haven't all

853
00:46:33,520 --> 00:46:35,919
Speaker 1: of those games. So that's what I think. Partly what's

854
00:46:35,960 --> 00:46:39,680
Speaker 1: confusing though their defense. Their defense has has burned bright

855
00:46:39,719 --> 00:46:42,680
Speaker 1: at times, but I don't really view this as a

856
00:46:42,840 --> 00:46:44,879
Speaker 1: Patriots team of old. And last year when they beat

857
00:46:44,920 --> 00:46:47,840
Speaker 1: the Bills, it was that super weird wonky game in

858
00:46:47,880 --> 00:46:51,240
Speaker 1: that insane weather scenario where they passed for nineteen yards

859
00:46:51,280 --> 00:46:53,200
Speaker 1: and ran the ball the entire time. But then you

860
00:46:53,200 --> 00:46:55,120
Speaker 1: put them in a different setting and you got the

861
00:46:55,200 --> 00:46:57,600
Speaker 1: Josh Allen version that destroyed them. The thing is that

862
00:46:57,680 --> 00:46:59,799
Speaker 1: Josh Allen, I know that Tony Romo hammered this home

863
00:47:00,120 --> 00:47:02,000
Speaker 1: to such an extent. I don't think the elbow is

864
00:47:02,000 --> 00:47:05,000
Speaker 1: still an issue. You still see him throwing like Josh

865
00:47:05,200 --> 00:47:07,319
Speaker 1: s throws that are like incredible, and he's still at

866
00:47:07,320 --> 00:47:10,160
Speaker 1: the late game heroics. But the Bill's red zone offense

867
00:47:10,440 --> 00:47:13,240
Speaker 1: has been a huge mass at large in part because

868
00:47:13,280 --> 00:47:17,719
Speaker 1: of Alan's turnovers, his decision making, forcing some stuff. And

869
00:47:17,760 --> 00:47:20,640
Speaker 1: they seem a little bit to me like they're they

870
00:47:20,760 --> 00:47:24,319
Speaker 1: came into the first month plus looking utterly unstoppable. They've

871
00:47:24,360 --> 00:47:26,359
Speaker 1: hit their own troubles. This happened to him last year.

872
00:47:26,640 --> 00:47:28,560
Speaker 1: This is a great place for Buffalo to work themselves.

873
00:47:28,560 --> 00:47:31,360
Speaker 1: Did you see Buffalo's offense? And maybe the elbow is

874
00:47:31,440 --> 00:47:34,239
Speaker 1: something that you can't overlook, but flipping the switch the

875
00:47:34,280 --> 00:47:37,680
Speaker 1: way it did last year down the stretch and becoming dominant,

876
00:47:37,680 --> 00:47:39,560
Speaker 1: including in the red zone, because some of it is

877
00:47:39,640 --> 00:47:42,080
Speaker 1: just this game, though necessarily is it this earlier? I

878
00:47:42,400 --> 00:47:45,600
Speaker 1: think they I think they obviously feel comfortable against Belichick.

879
00:47:45,680 --> 00:47:48,919
Speaker 1: And to the point the Patriots beating up on these

880
00:47:48,960 --> 00:47:51,520
Speaker 1: bad quarterbacks, they're still great at that so that it

881
00:47:51,560 --> 00:47:54,600
Speaker 1: doesn't make it more difficult to figure out who exactly

882
00:47:54,760 --> 00:47:56,879
Speaker 1: the Patriots are now. One thing that's going to really

883
00:47:56,880 --> 00:47:59,640
Speaker 1: help the Patriots is von Miller is not playing for

884
00:47:59,680 --> 00:48:03,839
Speaker 1: the Bill Roles because he suffered a knee injury um

885
00:48:04,040 --> 00:48:07,000
Speaker 1: on Thanksgiving and that's gonna put him on the shelf

886
00:48:07,960 --> 00:48:10,200
Speaker 1: for an unknown amount of time right now. And you know,

887
00:48:10,239 --> 00:48:13,000
Speaker 1: you're hearing things that he's gonna need surgery and who

888
00:48:13,040 --> 00:48:14,799
Speaker 1: knows if he even comes back, and he is known

889
00:48:14,840 --> 00:48:17,240
Speaker 1: as their closer, and he very much. Greg has filled

890
00:48:17,239 --> 00:48:20,400
Speaker 1: that that void for them as this guy that finishes

891
00:48:20,480 --> 00:48:23,520
Speaker 1: games off the defense isn't gonna be as good without him, no,

892
00:48:23,880 --> 00:48:27,000
Speaker 1: And that's what made this team special was their pass rush.

893
00:48:27,120 --> 00:48:29,680
Speaker 1: I think it's really important though, for them, the players

894
00:48:29,680 --> 00:48:32,959
Speaker 1: they are getting back, especially knowing that Miller's out. Greg

895
00:48:33,040 --> 00:48:36,480
Speaker 1: Russo is coming back. He's their best pass rusher outside

896
00:48:36,480 --> 00:48:39,080
Speaker 1: of Miller, will probably flip sides to his natural side

897
00:48:39,080 --> 00:48:41,799
Speaker 1: and is a good run stopper. Uh Tremaine Edmonds and

898
00:48:41,800 --> 00:48:44,279
Speaker 1: Matt Milano are going to play together for the first time.

899
00:48:44,280 --> 00:48:47,040
Speaker 1: It seems like in forever one of the two of

900
00:48:47,040 --> 00:48:50,120
Speaker 1: those guys who are both really playing well. Milana is

901
00:48:50,160 --> 00:48:54,040
Speaker 1: having a preposterous season and all pro type of seasons

902
00:48:54,520 --> 00:48:57,200
Speaker 1: like that for an off ball linebacker. How he shows

903
00:48:57,280 --> 00:49:00,640
Speaker 1: up every week is just crazy. And so they're healthier

904
00:49:00,640 --> 00:49:03,400
Speaker 1: on balance. Jordan player has been in out and he's

905
00:49:03,440 --> 00:49:07,320
Speaker 1: been back, and so they're healthier defensively and they should

906
00:49:07,320 --> 00:49:09,279
Speaker 1: be able to pressure Mac Jones. This will be a

907
00:49:09,280 --> 00:49:11,359
Speaker 1: great test for Mac Jones, because I agree Mark, that's

908
00:49:11,360 --> 00:49:14,640
Speaker 1: the best he's looked all season. They he still like

909
00:49:14,719 --> 00:49:17,200
Speaker 1: hasn't been totally comfortable with pressure, which I thought he

910
00:49:17,320 --> 00:49:20,440
Speaker 1: was pretty well. He did a good job as a rookie,

911
00:49:20,600 --> 00:49:22,680
Speaker 1: and so that's the next thing is not taking so

912
00:49:22,719 --> 00:49:25,040
Speaker 1: many sacks. And this is a game where I think

913
00:49:25,160 --> 00:49:27,040
Speaker 1: you're gonna have to avoid negative place because they just

914
00:49:27,040 --> 00:49:30,800
Speaker 1: struggled to overcome. Mac Jones finally showed that he could

915
00:49:31,160 --> 00:49:32,880
Speaker 1: throw the ball down the field, I thought against the

916
00:49:32,960 --> 00:49:35,560
Speaker 1: Vikings he was seven for ten for a one seventy

917
00:49:35,600 --> 00:49:37,719
Speaker 1: three on ten plus air yards throw after being the

918
00:49:37,760 --> 00:49:40,640
Speaker 1: second worst quarterback in the league on these kinds of throws.

919
00:49:40,680 --> 00:49:42,239
Speaker 1: I mean that. I think that is a function of

920
00:49:42,239 --> 00:49:45,440
Speaker 1: the offensive function of him going through a really rough summer,

921
00:49:45,760 --> 00:49:48,239
Speaker 1: um getting benched at one point. It's been a it's

922
00:49:48,239 --> 00:49:50,279
Speaker 1: been like a such a depressing season. I think it's

923
00:49:50,280 --> 00:49:52,799
Speaker 1: an opportunity, no matter what the Patriots do, for mac

924
00:49:52,840 --> 00:49:55,400
Speaker 1: Jones to kind of rewrite his year two. If he

925
00:49:55,400 --> 00:49:58,200
Speaker 1: can take what happened on Thanksgiving go forward. I don't

926
00:49:58,200 --> 00:50:01,120
Speaker 1: think it's happening against the Bills that like there's there slump.

927
00:50:01,400 --> 00:50:03,200
Speaker 1: Wasn't just Josh Allen, it was their health, like you

928
00:50:03,280 --> 00:50:06,160
Speaker 1: just mentioned, they they went through this last year. I

929
00:50:06,480 --> 00:50:08,640
Speaker 1: think the Bills, like I don't think anyone's questioning Josh

930
00:50:08,640 --> 00:50:11,480
Speaker 1: Allen or questioning who the Bills are. These teams are

931
00:50:11,880 --> 00:50:14,160
Speaker 1: confusing to me though, I'm not questioning who the Bills are,

932
00:50:14,200 --> 00:50:17,480
Speaker 1: but I don't know if they're gonna be, you know,

933
00:50:17,520 --> 00:50:18,880
Speaker 1: the best team in the league. I don't know how

934
00:50:18,880 --> 00:50:20,959
Speaker 1: these last six weeks ago both of these teams could

935
00:50:20,960 --> 00:50:23,799
Speaker 1: take off and it wouldn't totally shock me. I think

936
00:50:23,800 --> 00:50:27,160
Speaker 1: the Patriots have the pieces and the coaching in place

937
00:50:27,280 --> 00:50:29,160
Speaker 1: that they could go four and to five and one

938
00:50:29,160 --> 00:50:31,319
Speaker 1: down the stretch. They could win this game and put

939
00:50:31,360 --> 00:50:34,920
Speaker 1: themselves in a good spot. They've they've shown enough positives

940
00:50:34,920 --> 00:50:37,200
Speaker 1: on each side of the ball that that's possible, and

941
00:50:37,239 --> 00:50:40,120
Speaker 1: that belichickn out coach you for. They've got the Bills twice,

942
00:50:40,239 --> 00:50:42,439
Speaker 1: They've got the Bengals, and I know people are still

943
00:50:42,440 --> 00:50:44,399
Speaker 1: waiting for the Dolphins to get that kind of win,

944
00:50:44,520 --> 00:50:46,840
Speaker 1: but the Dolphins look unstoppable to me and ten times

945
00:50:46,880 --> 00:50:51,120
Speaker 1: more potent than New England. It's fair, well, let's see

946
00:50:51,360 --> 00:50:53,080
Speaker 1: how it come on. You want to lock it up

947
00:50:53,120 --> 00:50:56,480
Speaker 1: against the Patriots, I do, but for the reasons some

948
00:50:56,520 --> 00:50:58,560
Speaker 1: of the reason we just talked about the bills, I

949
00:50:58,600 --> 00:51:01,160
Speaker 1: think are kind of coming out of it after some turbulence,

950
00:51:01,600 --> 00:51:04,640
Speaker 1: but they just haven't had that. You know, we're out

951
00:51:04,640 --> 00:51:07,040
Speaker 1: of our mind right now stretch and I'm trying to

952
00:51:07,080 --> 00:51:12,160
Speaker 1: think it. I'll look up the bills. Oh wow, why

953
00:51:12,200 --> 00:51:21,680
Speaker 1: not locking it up? Justin says no. I was seeing

954
00:51:21,680 --> 00:51:27,120
Speaker 1: if Sean could get the animation at Justin's hammered. I

955
00:51:27,239 --> 00:51:30,720
Speaker 1: enjoyed it because I just was staring at In Mark's

956
00:51:31,719 --> 00:51:34,799
Speaker 1: blue eyes, staring at Dan, and I was wondering, how

957
00:51:34,800 --> 00:51:37,000
Speaker 1: long can we think? How long can we hold this moment?

958
00:51:37,000 --> 00:51:39,680
Speaker 1: Because personally, that was my favorite moment of the show.

959
00:51:39,800 --> 00:51:41,919
Speaker 1: We can't do a lot Bros every week because we're

960
00:51:41,920 --> 00:51:44,360
Speaker 1: no longer you know, I A. I needed to separate

961
00:51:44,360 --> 00:51:45,839
Speaker 1: from you at some point because I was one game

962
00:51:45,880 --> 00:51:49,560
Speaker 1: behind you now too behind the leader, Greg m After

963
00:51:49,640 --> 00:51:53,800
Speaker 1: last week's total implosion, a personal disaster unfolded. So you

964
00:51:53,880 --> 00:51:56,040
Speaker 1: turn it around as soon as possible, and that's Thursday night.

965
00:51:56,600 --> 00:51:59,160
Speaker 1: What happens though this game goes the other way. I

966
00:51:59,239 --> 00:52:02,040
Speaker 1: think about that week and think about l A. Rams

967
00:52:02,040 --> 00:52:03,920
Speaker 1: and I just start shutting people down. Left and right

968
00:52:03,920 --> 00:52:06,520
Speaker 1: and start focusing on next season. I I think if

969
00:52:06,520 --> 00:52:09,279
Speaker 1: I wasn't a Patriots fan, I think it makes a

970
00:52:09,280 --> 00:52:12,239
Speaker 1: lot of sense. It's too uh, it's too much to

971
00:52:12,480 --> 00:52:15,960
Speaker 1: the last time the Patriots beat the Bills. Yes, I

972
00:52:16,040 --> 00:52:20,279
Speaker 1: believe it was gonna say Week fourteen, and it was

973
00:52:20,640 --> 00:52:24,800
Speaker 1: a game in absurd conditions, weather conditions that completely negated

974
00:52:25,600 --> 00:52:27,759
Speaker 1: what the Bills do. Yeah, that was a crazy game

975
00:52:27,880 --> 00:52:29,680
Speaker 1: last year and they caused problems between the three of

976
00:52:29,760 --> 00:52:31,880
Speaker 1: us because I believed in what New England did in

977
00:52:31,920 --> 00:52:34,600
Speaker 1: that game, that's right. And then the Bills two weeks

978
00:52:34,680 --> 00:52:37,320
Speaker 1: later went to Foxborough, and that's why I was checking

979
00:52:37,640 --> 00:52:40,879
Speaker 1: the history of this rivalry, recent history. It was in

980
00:52:40,960 --> 00:52:44,520
Speaker 1: Foxborough that they hammered the Pats and then did it

981
00:52:44,560 --> 00:52:49,800
Speaker 1: again in grotesque form, in preposterous form in the wild

982
00:52:49,800 --> 00:52:51,400
Speaker 1: card playoffs a couple of weeks after. I mean they

983
00:52:51,400 --> 00:52:54,399
Speaker 1: were scared of. As someone who remembers those games, well,

984
00:52:54,440 --> 00:52:57,600
Speaker 1: they were both preposterous. Yes, at least Mac Jones played

985
00:52:57,800 --> 00:53:01,520
Speaker 1: fairly well in the playoffs, all right, it's good stuff.

986
00:53:01,600 --> 00:53:04,280
Speaker 1: That was the t n F preview presented by Prime Video.

987
00:53:04,360 --> 00:53:07,239
Speaker 1: The new era of Thursday Night Football is officially here.

988
00:53:07,280 --> 00:53:11,000
Speaker 1: And it's only on Prime video. By the way, I

989
00:53:11,000 --> 00:53:13,920
Speaker 1: know I didn't get this prediction in um, but it's

990
00:53:13,920 --> 00:53:16,480
Speaker 1: a little connected to this game. I was hoping, and

991
00:53:16,600 --> 00:53:18,600
Speaker 1: I tweeted about this that the Bill's Jets would be

992
00:53:19,080 --> 00:53:21,600
Speaker 1: in Week fourteen. The Sunday night football game just made

993
00:53:21,640 --> 00:53:25,000
Speaker 1: too much sense. Apparently that's not happening. It just doesn't

994
00:53:25,000 --> 00:53:27,040
Speaker 1: seem like it's happening. And they might try to take

995
00:53:27,080 --> 00:53:28,759
Speaker 1: the Bills Dolphins game the next week. We'll see. I

996
00:53:28,800 --> 00:53:32,160
Speaker 1: don't really know, but here's my prediction to wrap this up.

997
00:53:33,760 --> 00:53:37,799
Speaker 1: Jets are finally getting into prime time Week eighteen. They're

998
00:53:37,840 --> 00:53:40,800
Speaker 1: the final game. I always tracked this more than anything,

999
00:53:41,040 --> 00:53:45,960
Speaker 1: Jets Dolphins winning in for the Jets Sunday night football

1000
00:53:46,040 --> 00:53:48,800
Speaker 1: like they once. We're back in the day against the Bengals.

1001
00:53:48,880 --> 00:53:51,319
Speaker 1: Where is it in New York in Miami? That was

1002
00:53:51,400 --> 00:53:53,640
Speaker 1: the two thousand nine season. I think the game is

1003
00:53:53,680 --> 00:53:57,600
Speaker 1: in New York. No, they beat him in New York.

1004
00:53:57,640 --> 00:54:00,200
Speaker 1: I think it is in Miami. What a great used

1005
00:54:00,239 --> 00:54:05,480
Speaker 1: to wrap a season. Um. Yeah, if they if NBC,

1006
00:54:05,719 --> 00:54:08,760
Speaker 1: shame on NBC and everyone that works behind the scenes.

1007
00:54:08,960 --> 00:54:11,480
Speaker 1: It's on that show. If they don't flex the Jets

1008
00:54:11,480 --> 00:54:15,360
Speaker 1: in once and what's been a really exciting roller coaster

1009
00:54:15,480 --> 00:54:18,279
Speaker 1: season as this team has returned to relevance. If they

1010
00:54:18,280 --> 00:54:21,239
Speaker 1: can't figure out a way to get that team on

1011
00:54:21,280 --> 00:54:23,600
Speaker 1: a primetime stage for the first time in over a decade,

1012
00:54:24,360 --> 00:54:28,040
Speaker 1: it's a disgrace. The challenges out The challenge has been

1013
00:54:28,080 --> 00:54:31,680
Speaker 1: put out there, Greggy NBC. You know, essentially based in

1014
00:54:31,760 --> 00:54:34,640
Speaker 1: New York to take the Today's show based New York.

1015
00:54:34,680 --> 00:54:36,600
Speaker 1: Got a tons of Jets fans behind the scenes. What

1016
00:54:36,600 --> 00:54:38,279
Speaker 1: are they doing here this way if it doesn't happen.

1017
00:54:38,280 --> 00:54:40,960
Speaker 1: I'm doing some digging and I'm not happy what I find. Potentially,

1018
00:54:43,000 --> 00:54:46,759
Speaker 1: let's get Jets versus the planet. The team of a

1019
00:54:46,840 --> 00:54:50,239
Speaker 1: t L Jets Lions is Sunday Night Football. All right?

1020
00:54:50,400 --> 00:54:52,960
Speaker 1: Good and uh gregs christ the ball? Okay, I had

1021
00:54:53,000 --> 00:54:54,320
Speaker 1: another one. I don't want to be negative. I was

1022
00:54:54,360 --> 00:54:56,000
Speaker 1: gonna be negative about the other New York team that

1023
00:54:56,080 --> 00:54:57,719
Speaker 1: I don't want to do that. Let's just move on,

1024
00:54:57,800 --> 00:55:01,680
Speaker 1: let's say goodbye. In fact, look J J. Watt tweets

1025
00:55:01,800 --> 00:55:06,240
Speaker 1: Netherlands Ellipses American flag and then the Rock doing the

1026
00:55:06,400 --> 00:55:09,279
Speaker 1: arm out in the ring, like come come to us,

1027
00:55:10,600 --> 00:55:12,400
Speaker 1: Let's go bring it on, all right? This is Dan
