1 00:00:05,600 --> 00:00:11,760 Speaker 1: This is Straight Fire with Jason McIntyre. What is up 2 00:00:11,800 --> 00:00:16,640 Speaker 1: straight Fire? Fam, It's me Jason McIntyre. Straight Fire for Monday, 3 00:00:16,680 --> 00:00:21,520 Speaker 1: November eight. I hope everybody had a phenomenal weekend. Oh, 4 00:00:21,640 --> 00:00:24,279 Speaker 1: there was so much fun happening in the world. The 5 00:00:24,400 --> 00:00:28,080 Speaker 1: weather outside in Los Angeles was just gorgeous. Maybe a 6 00:00:28,120 --> 00:00:31,000 Speaker 1: little cloudy, a little foggy, but still nice. Pleasant. You 7 00:00:31,000 --> 00:00:32,839 Speaker 1: could go outside and breathe because I had to do 8 00:00:32,880 --> 00:00:35,960 Speaker 1: a lot of that on Sunday, Folks, after what was 9 00:00:37,000 --> 00:00:40,920 Speaker 1: the biggest blood bath. Uh, the NFL has seen this season, 10 00:00:41,120 --> 00:00:47,920 Speaker 1: absolute chaos everywhere, survivor leagues imploding, nobody scoring in fantasy 11 00:00:47,960 --> 00:00:51,519 Speaker 1: I mean, folks, the Buffalo Bills and the l A 12 00:00:51,600 --> 00:00:54,080 Speaker 1: Rams and the Dallas Cowboys have some of the best 13 00:00:54,160 --> 00:00:58,200 Speaker 1: offenses in the league. They did absolutely nothing. I don't 14 00:00:58,200 --> 00:01:01,160 Speaker 1: know what happened. Was it a Halloween hang over? Was 15 00:01:01,920 --> 00:01:04,840 Speaker 1: I've never seen anything like it. In the end, I mean, 16 00:01:04,880 --> 00:01:09,119 Speaker 1: we've got so many topics to cover. College football will 17 00:01:09,160 --> 00:01:10,880 Speaker 1: not make this episode. I'm sorry if you came here 18 00:01:10,880 --> 00:01:12,240 Speaker 1: for college foob, but if you came here for takes 19 00:01:12,240 --> 00:01:15,199 Speaker 1: on the Lakers getting squashed by Portland's over the weekend, 20 00:01:15,240 --> 00:01:17,959 Speaker 1: No I'm not chiming in on that this is all NFL, 21 00:01:18,000 --> 00:01:20,000 Speaker 1: because what the hell? How do we make sense of this? 22 00:01:20,040 --> 00:01:24,640 Speaker 1: I'm gonna, I'm gonna, what's this saying? Let me help you? Okay, 23 00:01:24,720 --> 00:01:26,720 Speaker 1: let me try to help you. It's almost like this 24 00:01:26,760 --> 00:01:29,640 Speaker 1: will be therapeutic. I'll try to talk through what the 25 00:01:29,680 --> 00:01:32,640 Speaker 1: hell I think I saw. And maybe as I'm talking 26 00:01:32,640 --> 00:01:34,839 Speaker 1: through it, Rob will chime in, is the voice of God, 27 00:01:35,280 --> 00:01:38,360 Speaker 1: Jason that is incorrect, and and we can start to 28 00:01:38,440 --> 00:01:41,880 Speaker 1: make sense of what on earth happened? Because, folks, when 29 00:01:41,920 --> 00:01:47,200 Speaker 1: the big takeaway from me potentially is that the two 30 00:01:48,120 --> 00:01:51,200 Speaker 1: best things that happened over the weekend happened to quarterbacks 31 00:01:51,240 --> 00:01:55,320 Speaker 1: who were not playing. Tom Brady had a buy and 32 00:01:55,360 --> 00:01:57,680 Speaker 1: he comes out as a big winner. Tom Brady, It's 33 00:01:57,680 --> 00:01:59,520 Speaker 1: like you forgot about him. So many young quarterbacks we 34 00:01:59,560 --> 00:02:03,000 Speaker 1: love talking abou the quarterbacks, we love. Everything is Tom 35 00:02:03,040 --> 00:02:06,440 Speaker 1: Brady or new NFL MVP leader. He didn't even play. 36 00:02:06,480 --> 00:02:09,400 Speaker 1: He was like in the clubhouse with a sixty once, 37 00:02:09,440 --> 00:02:12,920 Speaker 1: say a sixty nine for jokes, um, and it was 38 00:02:12,960 --> 00:02:15,359 Speaker 1: like everybody else just was spraying the golf ball all 39 00:02:15,360 --> 00:02:17,760 Speaker 1: over the all over the course, out of bounds, and 40 00:02:17,800 --> 00:02:22,960 Speaker 1: the drink. Aaron Rodgers did not play due to COVID, 41 00:02:23,160 --> 00:02:24,800 Speaker 1: and it kind of worked out in his favor. I 42 00:02:24,800 --> 00:02:28,440 Speaker 1: thought Jordan's Love would be better. He was. I mean, 43 00:02:28,440 --> 00:02:30,680 Speaker 1: they couldn't score for the first what fifty some odd minutes. 44 00:02:30,680 --> 00:02:33,280 Speaker 1: They get the late cheesy backdoor cover from Jordan's Love 45 00:02:33,280 --> 00:02:39,560 Speaker 1: on fourth down and I Aaron Rodgers MVP leater. I 46 00:02:39,560 --> 00:02:42,359 Speaker 1: I don't know, Like it was just such a crazy 47 00:02:42,480 --> 00:02:45,320 Speaker 1: weekend in the NFL. The Kansas City Chiefs are not 48 00:02:45,400 --> 00:02:47,680 Speaker 1: a good football team. We established that several weeks ago, right, 49 00:02:47,720 --> 00:02:49,320 Speaker 1: I told you I'm off them. I'm not betting on them. 50 00:02:49,320 --> 00:02:53,080 Speaker 1: I'm glad I didn't, But I mean, there's so many 51 00:02:53,120 --> 00:02:55,560 Speaker 1: crazy numbers from the weekend I can throw at you, like, 52 00:02:55,919 --> 00:02:57,560 Speaker 1: I don't know, the forty Niners haven't won a home 53 00:02:57,600 --> 00:02:59,480 Speaker 1: game this year, and we'll get to the forty Niners. 54 00:02:59,520 --> 00:03:02,240 Speaker 1: Kyle Shannon hand shifting his pants again. I thought Peter 55 00:03:02,320 --> 00:03:04,840 Speaker 1: King was spot on a couple of weeks ago when 56 00:03:04,840 --> 00:03:08,480 Speaker 1: he said Kyle Shanahan had to beat the Bears, and 57 00:03:08,600 --> 00:03:10,920 Speaker 1: he beat the Bears, and he got a reprieve stay 58 00:03:10,919 --> 00:03:14,000 Speaker 1: of execution, if you will, and then went home lost 59 00:03:14,040 --> 00:03:18,200 Speaker 1: again against Colt McCoy and colcoy did not have the 60 00:03:18,360 --> 00:03:21,960 Speaker 1: hop It was as gutless of her performance as I've 61 00:03:21,960 --> 00:03:23,640 Speaker 1: seen the season. And yes I bet on them, and 62 00:03:23,720 --> 00:03:27,680 Speaker 1: yes it's frustrating. But back to the Aaron Rodgers less 63 00:03:28,280 --> 00:03:33,519 Speaker 1: Green Bay Packers, they somehow, with their awful defense, held 64 00:03:33,560 --> 00:03:36,000 Speaker 1: the Chiefs. Are you ready for this? Three point eight 65 00:03:36,040 --> 00:03:39,800 Speaker 1: yards per play? I don't know what's wrong with Patrick 66 00:03:39,840 --> 00:03:42,800 Speaker 1: Mahomes at this point, Like, does he just not get it? 67 00:03:43,160 --> 00:03:46,840 Speaker 1: As Andy Reid just refusing to install a new offense? 68 00:03:47,440 --> 00:03:50,600 Speaker 1: Are they refusing to change? We've talked about this for 69 00:03:50,640 --> 00:03:54,120 Speaker 1: weeks now it's over a month. We know what the 70 00:03:54,160 --> 00:03:56,800 Speaker 1: opponent is doing. We've got to adjust. And the Chiefs 71 00:03:56,800 --> 00:03:59,720 Speaker 1: just don't look like they are. I mean they're They've 72 00:03:59,720 --> 00:04:02,360 Speaker 1: gone one of the most exciting Remember we were calling 73 00:04:02,400 --> 00:04:04,600 Speaker 1: them the Golden State Warriors a year or two ago, 74 00:04:05,120 --> 00:04:07,080 Speaker 1: Like that's how excited anywhere? They were putting up thirty 75 00:04:07,800 --> 00:04:12,480 Speaker 1: points on the reg They're unwatchable now. They had thirteen 76 00:04:12,640 --> 00:04:16,719 Speaker 1: points zero in the second half against the Green Bay Packers, Like, 77 00:04:16,720 --> 00:04:19,400 Speaker 1: do we know how the Packers are without jayear Alexander? 78 00:04:20,080 --> 00:04:23,200 Speaker 1: I don't believe the Smith brothers played. Of course all 79 00:04:23,240 --> 00:04:26,479 Speaker 1: The big takeaway on social media from that game. Um, yeah, 80 00:04:26,520 --> 00:04:31,480 Speaker 1: the Smith Brothers did not play was where the Chiefs sat. Uh, 81 00:04:31,560 --> 00:04:34,279 Speaker 1: Jordan's loves mom and Jordan Loves girlfriend. They were in 82 00:04:34,400 --> 00:04:38,240 Speaker 1: literally the last row of the stadium. Um, welcome to 83 00:04:38,279 --> 00:04:40,880 Speaker 1: the NFL. Jordan's Love. Uh, you know I'm not gonna 84 00:04:41,400 --> 00:04:44,559 Speaker 1: crush the kid, you know, listen, Spagnolo gets it. Jordan 85 00:04:44,600 --> 00:04:46,400 Speaker 1: Love has no idea what's going on. Let's just blitz 86 00:04:46,440 --> 00:04:49,800 Speaker 1: him every single time. And you know, the guy, he 87 00:04:49,839 --> 00:04:51,800 Speaker 1: had really no chance. He did have the nice fourth 88 00:04:51,839 --> 00:04:55,600 Speaker 1: down touchdown past, but like he had no chance. Uh. 89 00:04:55,800 --> 00:04:58,840 Speaker 1: Chiefs defense is getting better, but the Chiefs aren't one 90 00:04:58,839 --> 00:05:00,520 Speaker 1: of the better teams in the a C. And by 91 00:05:00,520 --> 00:05:04,440 Speaker 1: the way, I know, I've just rambled without like stopping 92 00:05:04,480 --> 00:05:07,400 Speaker 1: to take a breath, because that's how chaotic Sunday was. 93 00:05:08,080 --> 00:05:10,920 Speaker 1: But if you look at the a f C playoff picture, folks, 94 00:05:12,600 --> 00:05:16,560 Speaker 1: essentially there are two entire divisions in the mix. Now 95 00:05:16,600 --> 00:05:20,920 Speaker 1: about five f C North raven Steelers, Brown's Bengals all 96 00:05:20,960 --> 00:05:26,520 Speaker 1: over five a f C West Chargers, Raiders, Chiefs, Broncos 97 00:05:26,600 --> 00:05:30,000 Speaker 1: all about five D. Then you have the team with 98 00:05:30,040 --> 00:05:33,240 Speaker 1: the best record the a f C the Tennessee Titans. 99 00:05:34,720 --> 00:05:38,080 Speaker 1: What the hell is that? The Tennessee freaking Titans. Yes, 100 00:05:38,160 --> 00:05:40,480 Speaker 1: I've been wrong about them. I owe the city of Tennessee, 101 00:05:40,800 --> 00:05:43,880 Speaker 1: nash Vegas, if you will, I owe them an apology. 102 00:05:44,160 --> 00:05:46,839 Speaker 1: So wrong about that team. And then you have the 103 00:05:46,920 --> 00:05:49,520 Speaker 1: a f C East, the Buffalo Bills, who have the 104 00:05:49,640 --> 00:05:52,760 Speaker 1: best point differential in the NFL. I'm sorry, in the 105 00:05:52,800 --> 00:05:55,120 Speaker 1: a f C. Um and all of a sudden they 106 00:05:55,160 --> 00:05:59,000 Speaker 1: look mortal since their win over the Chiefs. I don't know, Rob, 107 00:05:59,640 --> 00:06:01,920 Speaker 1: I really don't know. If it was a Halloween hangover? 108 00:06:02,040 --> 00:06:05,359 Speaker 1: Is this a mid season malaise? A little literation for 109 00:06:05,440 --> 00:06:08,840 Speaker 1: that ass on a Monday morning. Um. I haven't even 110 00:06:08,920 --> 00:06:13,320 Speaker 1: mentioned the New England Patriots, who very very quietly and 111 00:06:13,600 --> 00:06:18,720 Speaker 1: very very ugly are starting to scare me and I. 112 00:06:18,839 --> 00:06:20,840 Speaker 1: It's probably too early, but you know, we like to 113 00:06:20,839 --> 00:06:24,160 Speaker 1: be a little early on things. The Pillar, the Patriots, 114 00:06:24,200 --> 00:06:25,719 Speaker 1: and I watched that Panthers game because I was on 115 00:06:25,760 --> 00:06:27,960 Speaker 1: the Panthers. I gave it out. I felt confident about it. 116 00:06:28,839 --> 00:06:32,760 Speaker 1: You know, Uh, fourteen six at the half. This is 117 00:06:32,800 --> 00:06:35,280 Speaker 1: how confident I was, no joke, I bet the under 118 00:06:35,279 --> 00:06:37,880 Speaker 1: twenty first half. It pushed. Um, I was all in 119 00:06:37,920 --> 00:06:40,960 Speaker 1: on the Panthers, and third quarter, Sam Donald drives them 120 00:06:40,960 --> 00:06:45,039 Speaker 1: down the field looking good, eighty eight yard pick six. 121 00:06:46,160 --> 00:06:49,120 Speaker 1: That was when I lost my s h. I t 122 00:06:49,279 --> 00:06:50,719 Speaker 1: for the first time and my wife told me to 123 00:06:50,720 --> 00:06:52,920 Speaker 1: be quiet, and it was it was a little vocal 124 00:06:53,360 --> 00:06:57,960 Speaker 1: um in in cosa day McIntyre um. And then you 125 00:06:58,000 --> 00:07:01,800 Speaker 1: know six and Donald drives him back down again into 126 00:07:01,839 --> 00:07:05,600 Speaker 1: the end zone and an interception, and at that point 127 00:07:05,640 --> 00:07:07,599 Speaker 1: it was, you know, it's curtains and I think I 128 00:07:07,720 --> 00:07:10,800 Speaker 1: probably said some things about Donald. I reregritted. I actually said, 129 00:07:10,840 --> 00:07:13,160 Speaker 1: I'm not listen. I'm not embarrassed to say this. I 130 00:07:13,280 --> 00:07:15,320 Speaker 1: keep it real with you guys, you know. But like 131 00:07:15,360 --> 00:07:19,200 Speaker 1: my my son is nearby and I say, man, Sam Donald, 132 00:07:19,240 --> 00:07:21,960 Speaker 1: if I and I stopped myself and he goes, if 133 00:07:22,000 --> 00:07:25,440 Speaker 1: what Dad? I was like, you know, I shouldn't say that. 134 00:07:25,480 --> 00:07:28,440 Speaker 1: I shouldn't even think that. That's that's not that's not 135 00:07:28,480 --> 00:07:29,880 Speaker 1: a nice thing to say. I don't know what I 136 00:07:29,920 --> 00:07:32,160 Speaker 1: was going to say, but bottom line is Sam Donald 137 00:07:32,200 --> 00:07:35,440 Speaker 1: was very, very bad. And then Julian, I don't know 138 00:07:35,440 --> 00:07:37,680 Speaker 1: if you guys saw this, Julian Edelman went on social 139 00:07:37,680 --> 00:07:41,080 Speaker 1: media and just tweeted out like the image of a 140 00:07:41,120 --> 00:07:46,320 Speaker 1: ghost after the second interception. Uh, you know, Sam Donald, 141 00:07:46,320 --> 00:07:49,520 Speaker 1: seeon goes. The numbers for Sam Donald, let me call 142 00:07:49,600 --> 00:07:53,000 Speaker 1: them up here against Bill Belichick are just heartbreaking. So 143 00:07:53,080 --> 00:07:57,920 Speaker 1: he's faced Belichick four times. Sam Donald in four appearances 144 00:07:57,960 --> 00:08:02,080 Speaker 1: with the Jets and and now with the Panthers, he 145 00:08:02,160 --> 00:08:06,760 Speaker 1: has nine interceptions and one touchdown in four games. And 146 00:08:06,800 --> 00:08:09,600 Speaker 1: I'm just to keep it fully honest with you. Mac 147 00:08:09,680 --> 00:08:13,080 Speaker 1: Jones is not very good. He's not winning these games 148 00:08:13,160 --> 00:08:17,080 Speaker 1: for them, and they're beating bad teams. But the Patriots 149 00:08:17,080 --> 00:08:19,840 Speaker 1: are alive and kicking. I'm telling you, all of a sudden, 150 00:08:20,120 --> 00:08:22,000 Speaker 1: the teams that we thought were awesome in the a 151 00:08:22,080 --> 00:08:24,760 Speaker 1: f C, the Buffalo Bills starting to come back to 152 00:08:24,800 --> 00:08:26,600 Speaker 1: the pack a little bit. Maybe it's just the mid season. 153 00:08:26,800 --> 00:08:29,720 Speaker 1: Lay's Kansas City Chiefs very much back in the pack. 154 00:08:30,200 --> 00:08:34,400 Speaker 1: Chargers got him nice w um Rob G's Raiders. I'm 155 00:08:34,440 --> 00:08:36,760 Speaker 1: sure he'll want to chime in on whatever the hell 156 00:08:36,800 --> 00:08:39,720 Speaker 1: that was in New York against the Giants. Not impressive. 157 00:08:40,040 --> 00:08:43,120 Speaker 1: But you know, I don't know who the best team 158 00:08:43,120 --> 00:08:45,560 Speaker 1: in the a f C is. And you cannot get 159 00:08:45,640 --> 00:08:48,440 Speaker 1: me to admit that the Tennessee Titans are the best 160 00:08:48,480 --> 00:08:50,880 Speaker 1: team in the A. I just don't think they are. 161 00:08:51,120 --> 00:08:53,480 Speaker 1: I'm sorry, I don't. They don't. First of all, they 162 00:08:53,480 --> 00:08:56,119 Speaker 1: don't have Derrick Henry and their offense against the Rams 163 00:08:56,160 --> 00:08:58,280 Speaker 1: in what was one of the worst Sunday night football 164 00:08:58,320 --> 00:09:01,720 Speaker 1: games I can recall, they had a hundred and ninety 165 00:09:01,840 --> 00:09:05,760 Speaker 1: five yards of offense deep into that game. That's it 166 00:09:06,760 --> 00:09:09,080 Speaker 1: they have. I think it's let me get the exact 167 00:09:09,120 --> 00:09:11,080 Speaker 1: number for you. Call up the box score here. They 168 00:09:11,200 --> 00:09:18,880 Speaker 1: averaged three point eight yards per play yards offense. I'm sorry, 169 00:09:18,920 --> 00:09:23,440 Speaker 1: three point five yards per play. You're telling me less 170 00:09:23,480 --> 00:09:26,680 Speaker 1: than two hundred yards, less than three point five yards 171 00:09:26,720 --> 00:09:29,200 Speaker 1: per play, and that's the best team in the AFC. No, 172 00:09:29,320 --> 00:09:32,960 Speaker 1: they're not. They're they're they listen, they're winning great as dogs. UM, 173 00:09:33,040 --> 00:09:35,040 Speaker 1: let's see what happens when their favorites again. But Rob, 174 00:09:35,120 --> 00:09:38,719 Speaker 1: I don't even know where to begin, UM trying to 175 00:09:38,760 --> 00:09:41,040 Speaker 1: pick up the pieces. I will just say this, be 176 00:09:41,200 --> 00:09:43,679 Speaker 1: Rob before I give you the floor to UM, go 177 00:09:43,760 --> 00:09:47,400 Speaker 1: back at anything I said and fire away. UM. I'm 178 00:09:47,440 --> 00:09:49,480 Speaker 1: in a survivor league. I told you guys, it's they. 179 00:09:49,600 --> 00:09:53,520 Speaker 1: It pays in the high five figures and people are 180 00:09:53,520 --> 00:09:57,200 Speaker 1: in UM. I had two entries. One of them I 181 00:09:57,240 --> 00:09:59,640 Speaker 1: lost on the Bengals. This week I had the colt, 182 00:09:59,720 --> 00:10:02,360 Speaker 1: so I'm in good shape. Two weeks ago there were 183 00:10:02,400 --> 00:10:05,400 Speaker 1: eleven people left. The Bengals loses down to like five fifty. 184 00:10:06,360 --> 00:10:09,360 Speaker 1: Now with Dallas and Buffalo getting bounced down to two 185 00:10:09,800 --> 00:10:15,200 Speaker 1: fifty seven from fifty seven, I'm alive in kicking and 186 00:10:15,240 --> 00:10:17,719 Speaker 1: now I'm just full on afraid because after what you 187 00:10:17,840 --> 00:10:19,800 Speaker 1: saw on Sunday, I don't know how you can have 188 00:10:19,840 --> 00:10:23,000 Speaker 1: confidence in any team in the league to win anything. 189 00:10:23,280 --> 00:10:26,960 Speaker 1: The biggest upset of the season coming into this weekend 190 00:10:27,000 --> 00:10:30,680 Speaker 1: was Bengals losing his ten and a half point favorites. 191 00:10:30,720 --> 00:10:33,520 Speaker 1: There had been no other double digits. This weekend, we 192 00:10:33,559 --> 00:10:37,240 Speaker 1: saw the Cowboys who took on Money Game Day the 193 00:10:37,320 --> 00:10:40,839 Speaker 1: Buffalo Bills fifteen point favorites, and they were getting bet 194 00:10:40,880 --> 00:10:44,600 Speaker 1: after James Robinson, the only Jacksonville player, was ruled out, 195 00:10:44,960 --> 00:10:47,440 Speaker 1: people kept betting the Bills up to sixteen and a half. 196 00:10:48,840 --> 00:10:51,640 Speaker 1: So the Bills and the Cowboys loses double digit favorites 197 00:10:52,000 --> 00:10:54,200 Speaker 1: when there was one before the entire season. And then 198 00:10:54,200 --> 00:10:56,040 Speaker 1: you want to toss in the Rams who were touchdown 199 00:10:56,240 --> 00:10:59,120 Speaker 1: and the Saints who are touchdown and You're like, I 200 00:10:59,120 --> 00:11:01,040 Speaker 1: don't even know what to do. Man. Maybe this was 201 00:11:01,080 --> 00:11:03,760 Speaker 1: a one off and this was a wacky weekend, But 202 00:11:04,600 --> 00:11:07,040 Speaker 1: I don't know, Robin, I'm having trouble making sense of 203 00:11:07,080 --> 00:11:09,880 Speaker 1: what I just saw on one of the craziest Sundays. 204 00:11:10,000 --> 00:11:12,320 Speaker 1: Maybe in a couple of years, Oh yeah, that that's 205 00:11:12,360 --> 00:11:14,400 Speaker 1: an understatement. In the last couple of years. I mean, 206 00:11:14,440 --> 00:11:19,719 Speaker 1: I don't think I've seen a weirder NFL Sunday. And 207 00:11:19,720 --> 00:11:22,319 Speaker 1: and this includes last week when we had Trevor Simeon 208 00:11:22,480 --> 00:11:25,560 Speaker 1: and the great White Hope, Mike White, you know, leading 209 00:11:25,600 --> 00:11:29,280 Speaker 1: their teams to big victories. You know, when you have 210 00:11:29,520 --> 00:11:31,360 Speaker 1: what I thought was the best team in football, the 211 00:11:31,440 --> 00:11:37,320 Speaker 1: Rams get blitz creaked, you know, on the field. But 212 00:11:37,360 --> 00:11:39,600 Speaker 1: at the same time, the team that did it to him, 213 00:11:39,640 --> 00:11:41,720 Speaker 1: just to your point, had lesson d yards of offense 214 00:11:41,800 --> 00:11:45,040 Speaker 1: and was basically inept on one side of the field. 215 00:11:45,640 --> 00:11:50,760 Speaker 1: You know, Um, when you have the Dallas Cowboys, who 216 00:11:50,760 --> 00:11:53,480 Speaker 1: are easily the most talented I think offense in terms 217 00:11:53,480 --> 00:11:57,480 Speaker 1: of skill position in all of football, and they're getting skunked, 218 00:11:58,000 --> 00:12:00,240 Speaker 1: I think, all the way to the fourth quarter to 219 00:12:00,320 --> 00:12:07,080 Speaker 1: a very mediocre Denver Broncos team. When you have the 220 00:12:07,160 --> 00:12:09,319 Speaker 1: Las Vegas Raiders. Let me gotta throw them there. You 221 00:12:09,360 --> 00:12:13,200 Speaker 1: know you've gotta do it. Traveling over to New York, 222 00:12:14,120 --> 00:12:16,040 Speaker 1: marching up and down the field, getting the red zone 223 00:12:16,080 --> 00:12:20,080 Speaker 1: six times and only scoring one touchdown. It was just 224 00:12:20,160 --> 00:12:25,080 Speaker 1: a really, really weird It's even hard to make a 225 00:12:25,120 --> 00:12:27,400 Speaker 1: hot take about it because there's so many things happened. 226 00:12:27,400 --> 00:12:30,240 Speaker 1: They didn't make any sense. Yeah, it's it's a tough 227 00:12:30,240 --> 00:12:32,320 Speaker 1: one for your Raiders. I mean, the Giants are really 228 00:12:32,480 --> 00:12:34,800 Speaker 1: and they had like ten guys who are on COVID 229 00:12:34,840 --> 00:12:37,880 Speaker 1: this week and they's still lost. But I mean, I 230 00:12:37,880 --> 00:12:39,560 Speaker 1: guess if there is one big takeaway, and he brought 231 00:12:39,559 --> 00:12:43,000 Speaker 1: it up earlier a few minutes ago, the biggest winner 232 00:12:43,600 --> 00:12:46,160 Speaker 1: on Sunday, And I can't believe I was saying this. 233 00:12:46,240 --> 00:12:49,480 Speaker 1: It was Aaron Rodgers. Aaron Rodgers took a lot of 234 00:12:49,600 --> 00:12:52,320 Speaker 1: arrows last week, and rightfully so, because what he did 235 00:12:53,040 --> 00:12:55,720 Speaker 1: was irresponsible and reckless, and the fact that he lied 236 00:12:55,760 --> 00:12:57,960 Speaker 1: about it made it even worse. And then he gets 237 00:12:57,960 --> 00:12:59,680 Speaker 1: caught in the line and he doubles down. So I 238 00:12:59,679 --> 00:13:02,720 Speaker 1: think he lost a lot of respect from a lot 239 00:13:02,760 --> 00:13:05,199 Speaker 1: of people, you know, with the way he conducted himself 240 00:13:05,240 --> 00:13:09,640 Speaker 1: over the last five or six days. But when it 241 00:13:09,679 --> 00:13:14,680 Speaker 1: comes to on the field, I've said plenty of times 242 00:13:14,679 --> 00:13:17,840 Speaker 1: Aaron Rodgers is the greatest quarterback I've ever seen. Like 243 00:13:17,920 --> 00:13:21,000 Speaker 1: the way he plays the position is better than anybody 244 00:13:21,000 --> 00:13:24,000 Speaker 1: I've ever seen. And when you saw what he was 245 00:13:24,040 --> 00:13:29,120 Speaker 1: able to do against Arizona last week, minus his top 246 00:13:29,160 --> 00:13:32,720 Speaker 1: three receivers, minus three or four of his best defenders, 247 00:13:33,280 --> 00:13:37,040 Speaker 1: going to a hostile environment in Arizona, it's a previously 248 00:13:37,120 --> 00:13:41,520 Speaker 1: unbeaten team get the win, and you think, hey, you know, 249 00:13:41,559 --> 00:13:44,320 Speaker 1: these Packers are legit. They they might be if they're 250 00:13:44,360 --> 00:13:46,600 Speaker 1: not the best team in the NFC, they're They're definitely 251 00:13:46,720 --> 00:13:50,880 Speaker 1: right there. And then all these guys come back offensively, 252 00:13:52,559 --> 00:13:58,000 Speaker 1: they go to play a I'm not gonna say mediocre, 253 00:13:58,040 --> 00:14:00,600 Speaker 1: but the Chiefs are not good. We've already that they're 254 00:14:00,600 --> 00:14:05,920 Speaker 1: not a good football team, and their defense is one 255 00:14:05,960 --> 00:14:09,320 Speaker 1: of the worst ones in all of football, and they 256 00:14:09,360 --> 00:14:14,679 Speaker 1: can't do anything without Aaron Rodgers.

You know, 262 00:14:29,960 --> 00:14:34,200 Speaker 1: it even sounds conspiracy theorists to say, how could so 263 00:14:34,240 --> 00:14:37,840 Speaker 1: many good teams lay such a big egg this week? 264 00:14:37,880 --> 00:14:40,760 Speaker 1: It's almost like the league needed to be flipped on 265 00:14:40,760 --> 00:14:42,560 Speaker 1: its head in some way, shape or form, because it 266 00:14:42,640 --> 00:14:45,760 Speaker 1: was basically rob now um as as you were talking, 267 00:14:45,800 --> 00:14:48,360 Speaker 1: it just dawned upon me. I jotted, I jotted this down. 268 00:14:48,920 --> 00:14:52,640 Speaker 1: So two of the teams that pulled the bigger surprises Denver, 269 00:14:53,040 --> 00:14:55,440 Speaker 1: which you said, it was up thirties zero, so they 270 00:14:55,560 --> 00:14:58,240 Speaker 1: traded away von Miller this week. Now, one of the 271 00:14:58,280 --> 00:15:01,160 Speaker 1: interesting angles to that was von Ler hosts an annual 272 00:15:01,200 --> 00:15:06,200 Speaker 1: Halloween party, and according to some reports that I was 273 00:15:06,240 --> 00:15:10,880 Speaker 1: able to read, the younger players usually kick in and 274 00:15:10,920 --> 00:15:13,720 Speaker 1: help pay for this Halloween party, and von Miller gets 275 00:15:13,720 --> 00:15:15,680 Speaker 1: big names because he's, you know, a big star. He 276 00:15:15,760 --> 00:15:19,480 Speaker 1: gets me ghost or whoever these rappers are. Von Miller 277 00:15:19,520 --> 00:15:22,440 Speaker 1: went to the young guys this year, and apparently a 278 00:15:22,440 --> 00:15:25,240 Speaker 1: bunch of them, led by Noah fand was like, na, man, 279 00:15:25,280 --> 00:15:28,920 Speaker 1: I ain't paying for that ship, and von Miller is 280 00:15:28,960 --> 00:15:33,440 Speaker 1: just like, oh man, these young egotistical guys, trade me 281 00:15:33,440 --> 00:15:35,200 Speaker 1: out of get me out of here. And they traded it. Now. 282 00:15:35,240 --> 00:15:37,240 Speaker 1: I don't think obviously a Halloween party is a reason 283 00:15:37,320 --> 00:15:39,720 Speaker 1: to trade him, but that I think it sounds like 284 00:15:39,960 --> 00:15:41,640 Speaker 1: reading some of these reports, that was one of the 285 00:15:41,720 --> 00:15:45,000 Speaker 1: last straws. And it's interesting because they trade von Miller 286 00:15:45,040 --> 00:15:47,240 Speaker 1: and the defense played its best game of the year 287 00:15:47,280 --> 00:15:50,520 Speaker 1: by a mile rob against a juggernaut of an offense. 288 00:15:50,800 --> 00:15:53,440 Speaker 1: They were missing von Miller, who was their best pass 289 00:15:53,480 --> 00:15:57,120 Speaker 1: rusher because Bradley Chubb, their other best pass rusher, is injured. 290 00:15:57,560 --> 00:15:59,640 Speaker 1: They got guys. They had a seventh round draft pick. 291 00:15:59,760 --> 00:16:02,960 Speaker 1: Line background of Ohio State, had two sacks, two tackles 292 00:16:02,960 --> 00:16:05,520 Speaker 1: for loss. He was everywhere, and I think if you 293 00:16:05,560 --> 00:16:08,640 Speaker 1: I watched that game kind of closely, it appeared to 294 00:16:08,680 --> 00:16:13,200 Speaker 1: me from the jump that the left tackle replacing Tyron Smith, 295 00:16:13,240 --> 00:16:16,120 Speaker 1: his name is Steele, he was just like a turnstile 296 00:16:16,240 --> 00:16:19,280 Speaker 1: they were going. I mean, Dak Prescott was under durest 297 00:16:19,360 --> 00:16:22,600 Speaker 1: like almost every third and fourth down, Dak Prescott was 298 00:16:22,640 --> 00:16:24,280 Speaker 1: being forced into something, and they went over two on 299 00:16:24,320 --> 00:16:26,200 Speaker 1: fourth down early in the game, and it was like, oh, jeez, 300 00:16:26,200 --> 00:16:29,840 Speaker 1: there's a problem. And I just wonder if that Denver 301 00:16:30,000 --> 00:16:34,560 Speaker 1: team was like galvanized um with von Miller out, Old 302 00:16:34,600 --> 00:16:36,440 Speaker 1: head out and it's a bunch of young new guys 303 00:16:36,920 --> 00:16:38,760 Speaker 1: and they all got together and they put a whooping 304 00:16:38,800 --> 00:16:40,560 Speaker 1: on Dallas. Dallas had not been shut out at home 305 00:16:40,560 --> 00:16:43,080 Speaker 1: and over thirty years, and that defense held him scoreless, 306 00:16:43,080 --> 00:16:45,480 Speaker 1: I think for like fifty one fifty two minutes um, 307 00:16:45,520 --> 00:16:47,960 Speaker 1: and then the other big trade. And I thought about 308 00:16:48,040 --> 00:16:49,560 Speaker 1: leading with this, but you know, I don't want to 309 00:16:49,600 --> 00:16:51,920 Speaker 1: py law and especially I went on Cowherd Show Friday, 310 00:16:51,920 --> 00:16:55,000 Speaker 1: and um, you know, I kind of went in a 311 00:16:55,040 --> 00:16:57,640 Speaker 1: little bit on Odell. Some of the Browns fans gaming 312 00:16:57,680 --> 00:17:00,400 Speaker 1: ship and then they were silent on Sunday. They want 313 00:17:00,720 --> 00:17:05,240 Speaker 1: but it's clear to me that Odell Beckham was the 314 00:17:05,320 --> 00:17:09,080 Speaker 1: distraction in Cleveland. It wasn't Baker Mayfield to play, which 315 00:17:09,119 --> 00:17:11,560 Speaker 1: wasn't great. I think we can all admit, but Odell 316 00:17:11,760 --> 00:17:14,520 Speaker 1: was the distraction. He is the star. And you cannot 317 00:17:14,560 --> 00:17:17,919 Speaker 1: have your star being a wide receiver. You just can't. 318 00:17:18,440 --> 00:17:21,560 Speaker 1: It doesn't work like that. These divas they don't work out. 319 00:17:21,880 --> 00:17:24,200 Speaker 1: It just they can be talented, but if they don't 320 00:17:24,200 --> 00:17:26,119 Speaker 1: get the ball, they pout and the bitch and they 321 00:17:26,160 --> 00:17:28,960 Speaker 1: moan and they become a problem. And Odell was the distraction. 322 00:17:29,320 --> 00:17:32,280 Speaker 1: He shipped out of town and lo and behold the 323 00:17:32,320 --> 00:17:35,679 Speaker 1: Brown's offense erupts. And yes they gotta pick six from 324 00:17:35,720 --> 00:17:38,640 Speaker 1: Denzel Awards start the game, which is really really nice. 325 00:17:39,280 --> 00:17:42,280 Speaker 1: And yes they got a uh seventy four yard touchdown 326 00:17:42,280 --> 00:17:45,720 Speaker 1: around my Nick Chubb, but Baker did hit Donovan people 327 00:17:45,800 --> 00:17:48,240 Speaker 1: Jones and stride on like a sixty yard touchdown. They 328 00:17:48,280 --> 00:17:51,800 Speaker 1: I think they were for the first team in something 329 00:17:51,880 --> 00:17:57,240 Speaker 1: like ten years, fifteen years, I'm sorry since two thousand twelve, 330 00:17:57,320 --> 00:18:00,560 Speaker 1: so eight years, first team with three t ds of 331 00:18:00,640 --> 00:18:03,200 Speaker 1: sixty or more yards. And then they came out of 332 00:18:03,200 --> 00:18:06,200 Speaker 1: the locker room at this to start the second half, energized, 333 00:18:06,400 --> 00:18:09,600 Speaker 1: feeling it. Three straight scoring drives right down the throat 334 00:18:09,640 --> 00:18:12,840 Speaker 1: of their opponent. And I know people will say, wow, 335 00:18:12,880 --> 00:18:14,840 Speaker 1: they did this, that and the other Baker, you know, Jay, 336 00:18:14,880 --> 00:18:18,280 Speaker 1: look at his stats. He wasn't amazing. Again, it's less 337 00:18:18,320 --> 00:18:23,080 Speaker 1: about oh, fourteen eighteen yards two TVs. You know, quarterback 338 00:18:23,200 --> 00:18:26,800 Speaker 1: rating best of the season. It's less exactly about that. 339 00:18:26,840 --> 00:18:30,520 Speaker 1: It's it's more if you watch the game, you can 340 00:18:30,560 --> 00:18:35,200 Speaker 1: see he's not totally rattled and focused on I gotta 341 00:18:35,240 --> 00:18:38,440 Speaker 1: get the ball to that one wide receiver who's a star. 342 00:18:38,760 --> 00:18:42,440 Speaker 1: There's none of that. There isn't that. Oh my gosh, 343 00:18:42,480 --> 00:18:43,800 Speaker 1: do I need to look at him on a slant? 344 00:18:43,800 --> 00:18:45,400 Speaker 1: If he's open and I don't hit him, he's gonna 345 00:18:45,400 --> 00:18:47,639 Speaker 1: whine and cry and pound and slowly come back to 346 00:18:47,680 --> 00:18:51,480 Speaker 1: the uddle. Nobody else acts like that unless you're a 347 00:18:51,480 --> 00:18:54,439 Speaker 1: wide receiver diva, and Odell Beckham is the number one guy. 348 00:18:54,600 --> 00:18:57,959 Speaker 1: Baker was composed and now there was really never a 349 00:18:58,000 --> 00:18:59,959 Speaker 1: tough spot for him in this game because they were 350 00:19:00,040 --> 00:19:03,159 Speaker 1: eating most of it thanks to the early uh pick six. 351 00:19:03,480 --> 00:19:08,560 Speaker 1: But again, his QBR highest of the season for Baker 352 00:19:08,800 --> 00:19:12,880 Speaker 1: was sixty in the opener against Casey. It was eighty today, 353 00:19:13,080 --> 00:19:16,119 Speaker 1: his quarterback rating highest of the season one and then 354 00:19:16,200 --> 00:19:18,639 Speaker 1: lost to the Chargers when Odell was shitty and dropped 355 00:19:18,640 --> 00:19:23,480 Speaker 1: it past one thirty two. Today, it's less about the 356 00:19:23,600 --> 00:19:26,159 Speaker 1: hard numbers and it's more I don't want to be 357 00:19:26,240 --> 00:19:30,920 Speaker 1: body language guy and confidence guy. But if you don't 358 00:19:31,040 --> 00:19:33,560 Speaker 1: feel like there's somebody you need to feed every damn 359 00:19:33,600 --> 00:19:35,520 Speaker 1: time down the field, on every drive, if he doesn't 360 00:19:35,520 --> 00:19:37,760 Speaker 1: get a look, he doesn't get a target, he's looking 361 00:19:37,760 --> 00:19:40,520 Speaker 1: at his numbers, he's chirping, he's upset, he's unhappy, like 362 00:19:41,119 --> 00:19:45,360 Speaker 1: there's no petulance from anybody. Donovan people, Jones, who are 363 00:19:45,359 --> 00:19:48,159 Speaker 1: you go run the routes or will replace you with 364 00:19:48,200 --> 00:19:50,679 Speaker 1: the next man up, Anthony Schwartz or whatever his name is. 365 00:19:51,560 --> 00:19:55,439 Speaker 1: Let's see what happened. I think Brown's next week against 366 00:19:55,480 --> 00:19:59,080 Speaker 1: the Patriots rob for my money, I think that's got 367 00:19:59,080 --> 00:20:00,359 Speaker 1: to be the game of the week New Week. Does 368 00:20:00,400 --> 00:20:03,040 Speaker 1: it not? Oh, I don't know if I would call 369 00:20:03,080 --> 00:20:05,159 Speaker 1: that the game. I haven't looked the schedule. That's a 370 00:20:05,920 --> 00:20:09,080 Speaker 1: I mean it's big for playoff implications, but I have 371 00:20:09,200 --> 00:20:14,600 Speaker 1: no interest in watching Patriots and Browns everything that, everything 372 00:20:14,640 --> 00:20:18,800 Speaker 1: that you said about Baker Mayfield, Like you you did 373 00:20:18,960 --> 00:20:21,040 Speaker 1: such a good job of painting the picture where it's like, well, 374 00:20:21,040 --> 00:20:22,520 Speaker 1: don't look at the heart stats. Yeah, because the heart 375 00:20:22,560 --> 00:20:27,560 Speaker 1: stats are terrible, terrible. I just said this QR one 376 00:20:27,640 --> 00:20:29,720 Speaker 1: for to eighteen and one of them was a wide 377 00:20:29,720 --> 00:20:31,600 Speaker 1: open six d R touch. That you take that away. 378 00:20:31,600 --> 00:20:34,760 Speaker 1: He's thirteen of twenty. He did miss over. He has 379 00:20:34,800 --> 00:20:40,320 Speaker 1: missed O'Dell wide open. And this idea that Baker Mayfield, 380 00:20:41,600 --> 00:20:45,320 Speaker 1: you know, he's more free, he's not locked in on O. 381 00:20:45,440 --> 00:20:47,520 Speaker 1: B J. Without him. You know, it's funny as he 382 00:20:47,560 --> 00:20:48,960 Speaker 1: wasn't locked in O b J when he was there 383 00:20:48,960 --> 00:20:51,000 Speaker 1: either that that's the reason why his numbers were so 384 00:20:51,040 --> 00:20:54,840 Speaker 1: bad because he could not seem to find him ever so, 385 00:20:55,560 --> 00:20:58,159 Speaker 1: and his target share was was down I think the 386 00:20:58,160 --> 00:21:01,119 Speaker 1: worst in his career with Aaker Mayfield this past season. 387 00:21:01,200 --> 00:21:02,560 Speaker 1: You want to hold on, You want to bet that 388 00:21:02,680 --> 00:21:07,320 Speaker 1: Nansen Romo are at Brown's Patriots next week. That well, 389 00:21:07,359 --> 00:21:09,199 Speaker 1: at least that looks like the best CBS game they 390 00:21:09,320 --> 00:21:12,080 Speaker 1: maybe they go to Tennessee for new worthand Trevor Simmey 391 00:21:12,119 --> 00:21:14,160 Speaker 1: and Ryan don't know. It's gonna be the taste of game. 392 00:21:14,200 --> 00:21:17,000 Speaker 1: What are you talking about? You might have to be 393 00:21:17,160 --> 00:21:20,080 Speaker 1: um looking at this. I got some thoughts on b 394 00:21:20,160 --> 00:21:23,160 Speaker 1: J as well. I mean, disregard the browns. Uh. Friend 395 00:21:23,160 --> 00:21:27,639 Speaker 1: of the show, Mike Florio put out on Sunday that 396 00:21:27,960 --> 00:21:30,680 Speaker 1: Odell Beckham Jr. Has three teams in mind that he 397 00:21:30,720 --> 00:21:32,639 Speaker 1: would like to go to once if and when he 398 00:21:32,640 --> 00:21:35,800 Speaker 1: clears waivers um on Monday, I think Monday or two. 399 00:21:35,880 --> 00:21:39,800 Speaker 1: I think it's later today or Tuesday. And now tell 400 00:21:39,840 --> 00:21:42,080 Speaker 1: me what this says about, oh, b J. When you 401 00:21:42,119 --> 00:21:49,680 Speaker 1: hear these three teams New Orleans Saints, San Francisco forty 402 00:21:49,760 --> 00:21:56,960 Speaker 1: Niners Seattle Seahawks to me, Well, I don't know why 403 00:21:56,960 --> 00:21:58,520 Speaker 1: he'd want to go to Seattle. He'd be like the 404 00:21:58,640 --> 00:22:02,280 Speaker 1: number three receiver a lot. It mean, I'm sure that 405 00:22:02,280 --> 00:22:05,520 Speaker 1: that would be the best fit for him, because they 406 00:22:05,560 --> 00:22:07,679 Speaker 1: got Russell Wilson, they got d K, they got locked it. 407 00:22:08,080 --> 00:22:10,480 Speaker 1: But they're not making the playoffs. They're they're so far 408 00:22:10,520 --> 00:22:12,600 Speaker 1: in the hole there that's not gonna happen. Well, wait, 409 00:22:12,640 --> 00:22:14,439 Speaker 1: by the way, is Russ's coming back next week? Or 410 00:22:14,480 --> 00:22:16,440 Speaker 1: I saw he's putting all these videos on it, and 411 00:22:16,520 --> 00:22:18,199 Speaker 1: that's what That's what the rumor mill is saying, that 412 00:22:18,200 --> 00:22:21,560 Speaker 1: we could get a Russell Wilson Aaron Rodgers showdown in 413 00:22:21,640 --> 00:22:26,320 Speaker 1: week ten. Well, we'll see. I don't think they're gonna 414 00:22:26,320 --> 00:22:30,440 Speaker 1: make after you. I don't think so. But Rob after 415 00:22:30,480 --> 00:22:33,280 Speaker 1: this weekend, should I rule anybody out? I mean other 416 00:22:33,320 --> 00:22:36,560 Speaker 1: than my Jets. Um, yeah, I think everybody's pretty much 417 00:22:36,600 --> 00:22:38,560 Speaker 1: got a crack at the playoffs. In the A f C. 418 00:22:38,760 --> 00:22:42,480 Speaker 1: Foux show, well, I guess I went into this whole 419 00:22:42,480 --> 00:22:44,200 Speaker 1: process once I found out that Odell was going to 420 00:22:44,240 --> 00:22:47,320 Speaker 1: be available. I'm thinking he's gonna go to a team 421 00:22:47,359 --> 00:22:51,040 Speaker 1: that's either got a fantastic quarterback, which you can take 422 00:22:51,040 --> 00:22:52,879 Speaker 1: away San Francisco in New orlecans either one of those 423 00:22:52,920 --> 00:22:56,440 Speaker 1: quarterbacks or any good Russell Wilson's good, or he's gonna 424 00:22:56,480 --> 00:22:59,879 Speaker 1: go to a team that is smack dab in the 425 00:23:00,000 --> 00:23:02,200 Speaker 1: super Bowl race and he's going to be the missing 426 00:23:02,240 --> 00:23:04,640 Speaker 1: but they don't want him. And that's what I guess. 427 00:23:04,680 --> 00:23:07,480 Speaker 1: That's what's surprising to me is I don't know how 428 00:23:08,600 --> 00:23:12,560 Speaker 1: or when his star fell that quickly. Wait, what were 429 00:23:12,600 --> 00:23:15,640 Speaker 1: the cities again? Just say them with New Orleans? Well, 430 00:23:15,680 --> 00:23:17,280 Speaker 1: I think he went he went to Ellis So that's 431 00:23:17,280 --> 00:23:19,560 Speaker 1: the only thing I can think of. Okay, he if 432 00:23:19,640 --> 00:23:22,760 Speaker 1: you think he's acting like a punk to Baker Mayfield, 433 00:23:22,800 --> 00:23:24,240 Speaker 1: what the hell is he going to do to Trevor 434 00:23:24,280 --> 00:23:27,400 Speaker 1: Simeon and Taysom Hill. That's a good point. I mean, 435 00:23:27,440 --> 00:23:31,560 Speaker 1: Michael Thomas hated it there. Still Thomas did not trust 436 00:23:31,600 --> 00:23:35,120 Speaker 1: still hates it there, right, Okay, he he does not 437 00:23:35,240 --> 00:23:38,080 Speaker 1: trust anyone there. They you know, they leaked that whole 438 00:23:38,080 --> 00:23:40,960 Speaker 1: story the athletic No, that is a terrible idea. Okay, 439 00:23:41,000 --> 00:23:45,680 Speaker 1: So crosst New Worlds offulist. What's the San Francisco I mean, 440 00:23:45,760 --> 00:23:49,399 Speaker 1: that's the toughest division in football, and you have the 441 00:23:49,400 --> 00:23:53,600 Speaker 1: worst quarterback with with argue, I don't the division. Is 442 00:23:53,600 --> 00:23:57,560 Speaker 1: he not the worst quarterback in the division. He's the 443 00:23:57,560 --> 00:23:59,840 Speaker 1: worst quarterback. Okay. And then here's the other thing. I 444 00:24:00,040 --> 00:24:01,560 Speaker 1: don't want to plocker. I think I get this later 445 00:24:02,400 --> 00:24:07,040 Speaker 1: led by Kyle Shanahan, the offensive guru, the mastermind, one 446 00:24:07,040 --> 00:24:10,760 Speaker 1: of the most creative offensive minds in all of NFL history, 447 00:24:11,600 --> 00:24:15,200 Speaker 1: who has had fourteen seasons as the lead play caller, 448 00:24:15,240 --> 00:24:18,520 Speaker 1: he's an offensive coordinator head coach. In his career. Ten 449 00:24:18,600 --> 00:24:22,440 Speaker 1: of those fourteen he's been in the lower half of 450 00:24:22,480 --> 00:24:25,160 Speaker 1: the NFL, which means the back haft fifteen or lower, 451 00:24:25,520 --> 00:24:28,440 Speaker 1: and nine of those times he's been in the twenties. 452 00:24:30,680 --> 00:24:33,359 Speaker 1: So somehow somebody has has pulled the world over all 453 00:24:33,359 --> 00:24:36,240 Speaker 1: of our eyes that Kyle Shanahan is this great offensive mind. 454 00:24:36,800 --> 00:24:42,800 Speaker 1: Yet somehow he never actually produces like a great offensive mind. Yeah, 455 00:24:42,960 --> 00:24:46,320 Speaker 1: the media loves them some Kyle Shanahan. It's staggering. The 456 00:24:46,400 --> 00:24:48,399 Speaker 1: numbers don't back it up. I think when we had 457 00:24:48,400 --> 00:24:51,840 Speaker 1: Peter King on what was it, four wins, he had 458 00:24:52,000 --> 00:24:55,160 Speaker 1: five seasons as a head coach, he has had three 459 00:24:55,200 --> 00:24:59,439 Speaker 1: losing seasons. And this one is also a losing season. Um, 460 00:24:59,480 --> 00:25:02,520 Speaker 1: by the way, play the Rams next week. I don't 461 00:25:02,560 --> 00:25:06,760 Speaker 1: expect McVeigh to be as bad. Um. I guess let's 462 00:25:06,800 --> 00:25:09,560 Speaker 1: check the Stafford injury his ankle during the game and 463 00:25:09,960 --> 00:25:12,960 Speaker 1: had a back thing this week and Mr practice. Um, 464 00:25:13,000 --> 00:25:16,040 Speaker 1: but obviously we're getting that. What a week ten? There's 465 00:25:16,359 --> 00:25:19,000 Speaker 1: I mean, every divisional match up among two playoff teams 466 00:25:19,080 --> 00:25:23,040 Speaker 1: is must win and you know, Rams Niners. This might 467 00:25:23,040 --> 00:25:28,320 Speaker 1: be sand Friend's last stand. But I cannot unsee that 468 00:25:28,480 --> 00:25:31,960 Speaker 1: Sunday night football performance from the Rams. Rob. It was ghastly, 469 00:25:32,520 --> 00:25:35,720 Speaker 1: Like It's not like the Titans were great. The Rams 470 00:25:35,720 --> 00:25:39,480 Speaker 1: just could do nothing. They could do nothing right. Um. 471 00:25:39,600 --> 00:25:43,000 Speaker 1: The other thing I wanted to mention, um is can 472 00:25:43,000 --> 00:25:44,560 Speaker 1: we can we just go to the Buffalo Bills for 473 00:25:44,600 --> 00:25:46,320 Speaker 1: a secon? I know nobody cares about the Bills outside 474 00:25:46,320 --> 00:25:49,080 Speaker 1: of Bills Mafia, and you know we are able to 475 00:25:49,160 --> 00:25:51,840 Speaker 1: track what areas listen to this podcast a lot. We're 476 00:25:51,880 --> 00:25:54,080 Speaker 1: not huge in Buffalo. Maybe we will be if I 477 00:25:54,080 --> 00:25:58,480 Speaker 1: started shopping on Josh Allen. But Rob, remember this early 478 00:25:58,560 --> 00:26:01,960 Speaker 1: in the season, first two games, Josh comes out definitely 479 00:26:02,520 --> 00:26:04,560 Speaker 1: below average quarterback. Was like, oh wait a minute, wait 480 00:26:04,560 --> 00:26:08,840 Speaker 1: a minute? Was the one season was Rob. Rob was 481 00:26:09,000 --> 00:26:14,600 Speaker 1: Josh Allen's one season an aberration MVP candidate was it? 482 00:26:15,320 --> 00:26:17,320 Speaker 1: And then of course quickly he turned it around. Remember 483 00:26:17,320 --> 00:26:19,840 Speaker 1: that game that went over the Chiefs on I think 484 00:26:19,840 --> 00:26:21,679 Speaker 1: with Sunday Night or Monday night, one of them, and 485 00:26:21,680 --> 00:26:25,240 Speaker 1: it was like, okay, Bills murdered them in the rain. 486 00:26:25,840 --> 00:26:29,040 Speaker 1: They are the new beasts of the NFL. Do you 487 00:26:29,040 --> 00:26:31,000 Speaker 1: want to know what they've done since that game? Rob? 488 00:26:31,760 --> 00:26:34,479 Speaker 1: They lost to the Tennessee Titans in a game they 489 00:26:34,480 --> 00:26:36,399 Speaker 1: should have won. I will admit that they moved the 490 00:26:36,400 --> 00:26:38,080 Speaker 1: wall up and down the field. They just failed. Josh 491 00:26:38,080 --> 00:26:40,800 Speaker 1: Allen slipped kind of inside the five on fourth and 492 00:26:41,160 --> 00:26:44,159 Speaker 1: goal and that's a roup. Then they just played with 493 00:26:44,200 --> 00:26:49,400 Speaker 1: their food for three hours against the mighty Miami Dolphins. Uh, 494 00:26:49,440 --> 00:26:52,560 Speaker 1: and we're able to cover with a late touchdown. An 495 00:26:52,640 --> 00:26:55,840 Speaker 1: unimpressive performance to anybody who watched any of that game. 496 00:26:56,600 --> 00:26:59,720 Speaker 1: Josh Allen did have two touchdown passes and he was fine, 497 00:26:59,720 --> 00:27:03,199 Speaker 1: But they they they they did not look overwhelming against 498 00:27:03,200 --> 00:27:06,920 Speaker 1: a very bad opponent, a divisional opponent, um and none 499 00:27:06,960 --> 00:27:08,760 Speaker 1: of the numbers will back it up. And then they 500 00:27:08,760 --> 00:27:12,479 Speaker 1: come out and four robbed the second straight week. They 501 00:27:12,520 --> 00:27:15,560 Speaker 1: just look unimpressive against a shitty team. And listen the 502 00:27:15,680 --> 00:27:19,640 Speaker 1: Jacksonville Jaguar stink. I was very wrong about Urban Meyer 503 00:27:19,760 --> 00:27:22,600 Speaker 1: and Jacksonville this year. I thought the ingredients were there. 504 00:27:23,720 --> 00:27:28,119 Speaker 1: I mean they were without James Robinson, their only offensive option. 505 00:27:29,359 --> 00:27:32,800 Speaker 1: The numbers skyrockets to sixteen and a half. The Buffalo 506 00:27:32,880 --> 00:27:35,560 Speaker 1: Bills could not get in the end zone against the 507 00:27:35,680 --> 00:27:38,800 Speaker 1: Jacksonville defense that just got torched by Gino Smith last week, 508 00:27:39,920 --> 00:27:43,560 Speaker 1: and they lose nine six. Now there was two and 509 00:27:43,640 --> 00:27:46,680 Speaker 1: this is where you know from the gambling aspect, it 510 00:27:46,800 --> 00:27:49,200 Speaker 1: appears obvious like, oh, the Bill stink, But then you 511 00:27:49,280 --> 00:27:51,760 Speaker 1: dig a little deeper. They were down to offensive linemen 512 00:27:52,960 --> 00:27:57,320 Speaker 1: and low and behold, the Jacksonville defensive front woke up. 513 00:27:57,680 --> 00:28:00,280 Speaker 1: Maybe they didn't go to Halloween parties. They had four 514 00:28:00,320 --> 00:28:02,640 Speaker 1: sacks of Josh Allen. He was under durest all game. 515 00:28:02,880 --> 00:28:06,960 Speaker 1: He forced two bad interceptions and lo and behold, Like, 516 00:28:07,359 --> 00:28:10,680 Speaker 1: is Jacksonville live to be feisty the rest of the way. 517 00:28:10,880 --> 00:28:13,360 Speaker 1: I don't know, But Robert, let's say right now, when 518 00:28:13,400 --> 00:28:16,640 Speaker 1: you like, I don't. I don't recall Super Bowl contenders 519 00:28:17,440 --> 00:28:23,040 Speaker 1: looking so ordinary in like multiple weeks, and I will 520 00:28:23,080 --> 00:28:26,040 Speaker 1: just have to say, nobody at this point has stood 521 00:28:26,080 --> 00:28:32,160 Speaker 1: out to me outside of Aaron Rodgers Bucks. I'm sorry, 522 00:28:32,160 --> 00:28:34,960 Speaker 1: Aaron Rodgers, Packers and the Tampa Bay Bucks. Aaron Rodgers 523 00:28:34,960 --> 00:28:38,040 Speaker 1: outside of the first game you look, you look away 524 00:28:38,040 --> 00:28:40,680 Speaker 1: from that game, and they with Aaron Rodgers the quarterback, 525 00:28:40,720 --> 00:28:44,040 Speaker 1: have been great. Tampa Bay did have I think they 526 00:28:44,040 --> 00:28:47,920 Speaker 1: have two losses, but they've they haven't looked like how 527 00:28:48,240 --> 00:28:51,360 Speaker 1: as putrid as the Bills have. UM and I think 528 00:28:51,400 --> 00:28:53,280 Speaker 1: the two best teams are in the NFC, rob if 529 00:28:53,320 --> 00:28:54,560 Speaker 1: if, if if you ask me right now, it's the Green 530 00:28:54,560 --> 00:28:56,480 Speaker 1: Bay Packers and Tampa Bay Bucks are the two best teams. 531 00:28:56,480 --> 00:28:59,440 Speaker 1: And oh, look at that. They've got a forty four 532 00:28:59,520 --> 00:29:02,240 Speaker 1: year old quarter back and they've got I think a 533 00:29:02,240 --> 00:29:04,160 Speaker 1: thirty nine year old quarterback who kind of wants out. 534 00:29:05,040 --> 00:29:06,720 Speaker 1: Does that surprise you at all? By the way, Tampa 535 00:29:06,720 --> 00:29:10,520 Speaker 1: Bay at Washington this week, Tampa struggles on the road, 536 00:29:10,560 --> 00:29:13,320 Speaker 1: but they should win that game. It's a little bit surprising. 537 00:29:13,840 --> 00:29:17,239 Speaker 1: I've a real quick aside before we talk about the quarterbacks. UM. 538 00:29:17,240 --> 00:29:20,080 Speaker 1: I was texting with Lamar Mitchell from named Jim Grant 539 00:29:20,080 --> 00:29:22,120 Speaker 1: earlier on Sunday Friend of the Show as well. He's 540 00:29:22,120 --> 00:29:24,360 Speaker 1: come on this parties come on the radio show I produce, 541 00:29:25,200 --> 00:29:28,760 Speaker 1: and he's a very you know, mellow guy. He doesn't 542 00:29:28,760 --> 00:29:31,000 Speaker 1: really get too really excited. He's asked him about the 543 00:29:31,040 --> 00:29:33,880 Speaker 1: books and this is all he says, this quote. Yeah, 544 00:29:34,000 --> 00:29:36,920 Speaker 1: not a lot of cashing going on at the windows today. 545 00:29:38,920 --> 00:29:41,400 Speaker 1: That's not the most relaxed flex I've ever seen in 546 00:29:41,440 --> 00:29:45,160 Speaker 1: the history of Vegas sports books. I mean it was, 547 00:29:46,760 --> 00:29:49,040 Speaker 1: you know, a lot of guys made money the last 548 00:29:49,080 --> 00:29:51,680 Speaker 1: like what three weeks. You know, guys who were considered 549 00:29:51,760 --> 00:29:55,120 Speaker 1: the public, guys who were betting bucks and they don't, 550 00:29:55,280 --> 00:29:57,160 Speaker 1: you know, dive deep and look at the analytics. They're 551 00:29:57,200 --> 00:29:59,960 Speaker 1: just basically, hey, I like that team, I'm gonna bet them. 552 00:30:01,160 --> 00:30:02,920 Speaker 1: And they had a good three week run. They had 553 00:30:02,960 --> 00:30:06,400 Speaker 1: struggled early in the season, and they lost all of it. 554 00:30:06,400 --> 00:30:09,960 Speaker 1: I'm telling you, every teaser got lit up. I I've 555 00:30:10,000 --> 00:30:13,640 Speaker 1: been cashing teasers my picture on Fox. You guys can 556 00:30:13,640 --> 00:30:16,920 Speaker 1: go see them. Teasers have been extremely lucrative this season. 557 00:30:17,080 --> 00:30:19,240 Speaker 1: This the six and a half point teasers, the seven 558 00:30:19,240 --> 00:30:23,040 Speaker 1: point teasers, because those big favorites they weren't losing well. 559 00:30:23,960 --> 00:30:27,240 Speaker 1: They started losing the Bengals to the Jets, and then 560 00:30:27,520 --> 00:30:30,440 Speaker 1: you know the aforementioned this week Buffalo Bill's obviously and 561 00:30:30,600 --> 00:30:34,800 Speaker 1: uh Dallas Cowboys and l A. Rams. I mean it 562 00:30:34,880 --> 00:30:36,680 Speaker 1: was it was a blood bat. This was a brutal 563 00:30:36,720 --> 00:30:39,360 Speaker 1: as brutal a week as I've seen now. I went 564 00:30:39,400 --> 00:30:41,240 Speaker 1: two and three in the contest, but it just feels 565 00:30:41,280 --> 00:30:44,280 Speaker 1: to me like I gotta stop putting this much energy 566 00:30:44,320 --> 00:30:46,440 Speaker 1: into it. I'm just so pissed that I will not 567 00:30:46,480 --> 00:30:49,000 Speaker 1: be in the cash. Um been closed a couple of times, 568 00:30:49,000 --> 00:30:53,160 Speaker 1: was still having entry fee. It's a little frustrating to 569 00:30:53,240 --> 00:30:56,480 Speaker 1: not be able to cash.

The only thing better than sitting on your 574 00:31:10,440 --> 00:31:14,720 Speaker 1: couch watching the game. He's making money while you do it. 575 00:31:15,080 --> 00:31:22,400 Speaker 1: Here's your best bat? All right? Rob Let's quickly? Um, 576 00:31:22,680 --> 00:31:26,840 Speaker 1: is there any lean for you on Monday night football? Yeah? 577 00:31:26,880 --> 00:31:29,760 Speaker 1: I would say this is like a decent game. Um. 578 00:31:29,880 --> 00:31:35,040 Speaker 1: On paper, Chicago Bears franchise versus Pittsburgh Stealers franchise sounds good, 579 00:31:35,880 --> 00:31:39,760 Speaker 1: but the reality is like justin fields against his Pittsburgh 580 00:31:39,760 --> 00:31:42,480 Speaker 1: defense is going to have a lot of problems, and 581 00:31:42,600 --> 00:31:46,880 Speaker 1: the Pittsburgh defense stinks on the back end at least 582 00:31:46,880 --> 00:31:49,080 Speaker 1: the secondary is not very good, but the Pittsburgh offense 583 00:31:49,160 --> 00:31:51,640 Speaker 1: is horrible. So this game kind of reeks to me 584 00:31:51,720 --> 00:31:57,240 Speaker 1: as like a seventeen six type slobber knocker, where maybe 585 00:31:57,840 --> 00:31:59,680 Speaker 1: I'm taking a peek at Lamel. By the way, I 586 00:31:59,680 --> 00:32:03,120 Speaker 1: was gonna go to LaMelo ball u versus the Lakers tonight, 587 00:32:03,160 --> 00:32:06,480 Speaker 1: but my son has a club basketball game. Might now 588 00:32:06,680 --> 00:32:10,760 Speaker 1: very random, but um, I don't know, Rob, I I 589 00:32:10,800 --> 00:32:12,640 Speaker 1: think I gotta go with the Steelers in this one. 590 00:32:13,760 --> 00:32:15,640 Speaker 1: I'm going with the Steelers as well, not only because 591 00:32:15,640 --> 00:32:17,640 Speaker 1: I think you know with my head that I think 592 00:32:17,640 --> 00:32:19,040 Speaker 1: that they're gonna win this game, and I think that 593 00:32:19,080 --> 00:32:22,680 Speaker 1: their defense is going to give Justin Fields a whole 594 00:32:22,720 --> 00:32:25,480 Speaker 1: of a lot of problems. I don't see Chicago being 595 00:32:25,520 --> 00:32:28,160 Speaker 1: able to move the ball very well against them, So 596 00:32:28,240 --> 00:32:33,800 Speaker 1: I am taking the Steelers seven, yeah, minus seven and 597 00:32:33,880 --> 00:32:36,920 Speaker 1: the under thirty nine. I agree with you. So not 598 00:32:37,000 --> 00:32:39,000 Speaker 1: only do I think that's because it's gonna happen, it's 599 00:32:39,040 --> 00:32:41,440 Speaker 1: also exactly what I need to happen, because I'm down 600 00:32:41,440 --> 00:32:44,120 Speaker 1: by twenty two points in my fantasy league with the 601 00:32:44,160 --> 00:32:46,920 Speaker 1: Steelers defense going on Monday night, so I need like 602 00:32:47,360 --> 00:32:50,600 Speaker 1: a fumble recover touchdown in five sacks from t J. Watt. 603 00:32:50,800 --> 00:32:52,880 Speaker 1: I want to walk away with the w that that 604 00:32:53,040 --> 00:32:55,840 Speaker 1: listen to. Two defensive touchdowns is not out of the 605 00:32:55,880 --> 00:32:58,720 Speaker 1: realm against these guys. And by the way, uh, Justin 606 00:32:58,760 --> 00:33:01,240 Speaker 1: Fields got sacked I think nine times by the Browns. 607 00:33:01,800 --> 00:33:04,840 Speaker 1: And if you started the Bucks defense against Justin Fields, 608 00:33:04,840 --> 00:33:07,680 Speaker 1: they had a bunch of turnovers and sacks like this 609 00:33:07,720 --> 00:33:10,480 Speaker 1: is I think this is in play for you. Um honestly, 610 00:33:10,520 --> 00:33:13,680 Speaker 1: if they pull it off, well, it's rare to hear 611 00:33:13,720 --> 00:33:15,480 Speaker 1: you taking an l in fantasy. You've been on fire 612 00:33:15,520 --> 00:33:18,080 Speaker 1: so much the last two years. But just a quick reminder, 613 00:33:18,440 --> 00:33:22,800 Speaker 1: when Justin Fields has faced good defensive lines, his offensive 614 00:33:22,800 --> 00:33:29,479 Speaker 1: line gets pummeled. Brown's to six, Packers fourteen, And it 615 00:33:29,520 --> 00:33:33,240 Speaker 1: wasn't really that close. Bucks thirty eight to three forty 616 00:33:33,360 --> 00:33:38,040 Speaker 1: Niners thirty two. Like Chicago, when they have to step 617 00:33:38,120 --> 00:33:39,959 Speaker 1: up in class, it has been ugly. Now, don't tell 618 00:33:40,000 --> 00:33:41,840 Speaker 1: me the Bengals win a week two was up in class. 619 00:33:41,880 --> 00:33:44,480 Speaker 1: It was week two of the damn season. And by 620 00:33:44,480 --> 00:33:48,760 Speaker 1: the way, the Bengals were down seventeen nothing in that one, um, 621 00:33:48,800 --> 00:33:52,240 Speaker 1: because of the Chicago defense. So I don't trust Justin 622 00:33:52,280 --> 00:33:55,240 Speaker 1: Fields here at all. Um. I have Khalil Herbert, so 623 00:33:55,280 --> 00:33:57,920 Speaker 1: I'm just praying he gets loose for two or three 624 00:33:57,960 --> 00:34:01,320 Speaker 1: touchdowns and that's Can that be in play? Any shot? 625 00:34:01,440 --> 00:34:03,239 Speaker 1: That definitely could. I mean I have Clear Herbert one 626 00:34:03,240 --> 00:34:06,120 Speaker 1: of my other leagues too, and I benched him just 627 00:34:06,240 --> 00:34:09,640 Speaker 1: because I don't I think that that Pittsburgh is gonna 628 00:34:09,680 --> 00:34:12,480 Speaker 1: force them to throw the football. I think they're in 629 00:34:12,560 --> 00:34:14,040 Speaker 1: a crowd line of screamage and make him throw it. 630 00:34:14,080 --> 00:34:16,279 Speaker 1: And I just don't trust Justin Fields. If you I 631 00:34:16,640 --> 00:34:19,160 Speaker 1: can't find a number on it, but I would look 632 00:34:19,239 --> 00:34:22,680 Speaker 1: at the rushing yard prop for Naja Harris. Honestly, I 633 00:34:22,719 --> 00:34:26,120 Speaker 1: don't trust this Bears defense at all. And when they're down, 634 00:34:26,239 --> 00:34:29,560 Speaker 1: Khalil mac who is out when they're down Eddie Jackson 635 00:34:29,640 --> 00:34:32,799 Speaker 1: the safety, this is a defense is gonna struggle. I mean, 636 00:34:32,880 --> 00:34:35,680 Speaker 1: Jimmy Garoppolo and the Niners last week mowed them down 637 00:34:35,760 --> 00:34:37,719 Speaker 1: up and down the field. I think they scored on 638 00:34:37,760 --> 00:34:40,480 Speaker 1: like four straight possessions at one point. What do you 639 00:34:40,520 --> 00:34:43,160 Speaker 1: think that Naja Harris is gonna He's probably gonna catch 640 00:34:43,200 --> 00:34:47,120 Speaker 1: a ton of passes on swings and um, he's gonna 641 00:34:47,200 --> 00:34:50,040 Speaker 1: run the football pretty well. Um. Also, I'm going against 642 00:34:50,080 --> 00:34:53,520 Speaker 1: Deante Johnson and Claypool in one league. Believe it or not, 643 00:34:53,560 --> 00:34:56,160 Speaker 1: some guy has both those. Um, so yeah, I think 644 00:34:56,160 --> 00:34:59,440 Speaker 1: there is a Steelers win. I will I will predict. Uh. 645 00:34:59,520 --> 00:35:02,640 Speaker 1: I'll go to twenty to nine Steelers with the wind, 646 00:35:02,719 --> 00:35:06,040 Speaker 1: So Rob, you're under uh and the favorite. Yeah, so 647 00:35:06,120 --> 00:35:08,480 Speaker 1: we're right there. We lock step, so you know that 648 00:35:08,600 --> 00:35:10,440 Speaker 1: focus Chicago and the over is gonna you know that 649 00:35:11,120 --> 00:35:14,120 Speaker 1: of course, given Sunday. Yes, all right, this is a 650 00:35:14,160 --> 00:35:18,440 Speaker 1: long Monday podcast. We haven't sorted out our holiday plans yet, 651 00:35:18,480 --> 00:35:20,920 Speaker 1: but bottom line is I like sports, I like work. 652 00:35:21,040 --> 00:35:23,319 Speaker 1: I like talking.
