Welcome back to another distort, the 20 00:01:04,920 --> 00:01:07,520 Speaker 1: Around the NFL Podcast. My name is Dan Ands and 21 00:01:07,560 --> 00:01:10,160 Speaker 1: I'm joined by a room filled with some heroes, Mark 22 00:01:10,240 --> 00:01:14,640 Speaker 1: Sessler and Greg Rose. I thought that, boys, what is that? 23 00:01:14,640 --> 00:01:16,480 Speaker 1: That's true? By the way, about DJ, I know there 24 00:01:16,480 --> 00:01:20,160 Speaker 1: has been some rumors. Uh, Daniel and I, despite having 25 00:01:20,160 --> 00:01:22,320 Speaker 1: the same first name, have had some differences since he 26 00:01:22,400 --> 00:01:25,720 Speaker 1: launched his successful podcast Moved the Sticks We Did Not 27 00:01:25,840 --> 00:01:29,959 Speaker 1: Tear His Achilles. DJ is great. I listened to his podcast. 28 00:01:30,200 --> 00:01:32,000 Speaker 1: I love hearing TD on it. The only thing that 29 00:01:32,040 --> 00:01:34,360 Speaker 1: bothers me a little bit is it feels like TD 30 00:01:34,600 --> 00:01:38,080 Speaker 1: is a little more engaged, a little you know, a 31 00:01:38,160 --> 00:01:40,080 Speaker 1: little more into it, you know what I mean. You know, 32 00:01:40,120 --> 00:01:42,400 Speaker 1: you can't love all the podcasts equally, and I just 33 00:01:42,440 --> 00:01:46,320 Speaker 1: get the feeling you love on this show. There's a 34 00:01:46,319 --> 00:01:48,480 Speaker 1: lot more to do in terms of video production, a 35 00:01:48,520 --> 00:01:51,040 Speaker 1: lot more going on on the scenes. DJ, so for 36 00:01:51,200 --> 00:01:53,920 Speaker 1: right now is kind of like when you guys first started, 37 00:01:53,960 --> 00:01:56,600 Speaker 1: as you know, the You Around the League podcast. You know, 38 00:01:56,840 --> 00:01:59,120 Speaker 1: we gotta grow. We're not at this level just yet. 39 00:01:59,200 --> 00:02:02,520 Speaker 1: You know this, a bit of the backhanded insult I 40 00:02:02,520 --> 00:02:05,680 Speaker 1: would feel like happened just occurred. Is it possible that 41 00:02:05,720 --> 00:02:08,320 Speaker 1: there's too much of you on that podcast? You have 42 00:02:08,360 --> 00:02:11,720 Speaker 1: a large role in it. This is week's seventeen, folks, 43 00:02:12,040 --> 00:02:14,160 Speaker 1: This is the end of the yellow brick road, a 44 00:02:14,280 --> 00:02:18,160 Speaker 1: long regular season. Mark you you've been there, You've been 45 00:02:18,200 --> 00:02:20,200 Speaker 1: down the road. This is the fifth regular season we've 46 00:02:20,240 --> 00:02:23,880 Speaker 1: worked together at the NFL dot Com and another one's 47 00:02:23,880 --> 00:02:26,280 Speaker 1: in the books, and a lot of stuff went down today. 48 00:02:27,240 --> 00:02:29,680 Speaker 1: Did you like the Greg? Did you like it? It 49 00:02:29,800 --> 00:02:33,160 Speaker 1: was great? I love that it was four five games 50 00:02:33,160 --> 00:02:35,360 Speaker 1: are going on. Four of them had big time, meaning 51 00:02:35,760 --> 00:02:39,760 Speaker 1: the NFC seating kept changing every ten minutes. Same thing 52 00:02:39,800 --> 00:02:42,080 Speaker 1: happened early with the a f C wild Cards, which 53 00:02:42,080 --> 00:02:44,000 Speaker 1: we'll get to. That's what you look for. And now 54 00:02:44,040 --> 00:02:46,160 Speaker 1: we're ready to move on to January. I'm always happy, 55 00:02:46,160 --> 00:02:48,400 Speaker 1: but probably the most competitive of all the ones that 56 00:02:48,440 --> 00:02:51,760 Speaker 1: we've worked together, right down to the end. I know, personally, 57 00:02:51,880 --> 00:02:54,040 Speaker 1: Dan and I follow a couple of teams that uh 58 00:02:55,400 --> 00:02:59,000 Speaker 1: continued threat of total disaster shows. Yes, yes, which you'll 59 00:02:59,000 --> 00:03:01,079 Speaker 1: get into a little bit later. And thank you Mark 60 00:03:01,160 --> 00:03:04,560 Speaker 1: for going more macro there, because that's what I asked you, Greg, 61 00:03:04,600 --> 00:03:06,960 Speaker 1: but you you stuck to just talking Sunday. I should 62 00:03:07,000 --> 00:03:09,280 Speaker 1: you like the year? Did you like this year? Yeah? 63 00:03:09,400 --> 00:03:11,079 Speaker 1: Aspects of it. I didn't like the beginning of the year. 64 00:03:11,360 --> 00:03:12,960 Speaker 1: It was a great year at the end of the year. More, 65 00:03:13,520 --> 00:03:15,000 Speaker 1: why what was so good about the end of the 66 00:03:15,080 --> 00:03:18,919 Speaker 1: year less, you know, things that weren't I'm not even 67 00:03:18,960 --> 00:03:21,679 Speaker 1: certain what we're talking about at this point. It's probably best, 68 00:03:21,680 --> 00:03:25,079 Speaker 1: So why don't we get into the games? There were 69 00:03:25,120 --> 00:03:29,640 Speaker 1: fifteen games played before Sunday Night Football, so every team 70 00:03:29,639 --> 00:03:32,400 Speaker 1: played on Sunday. That only happens once a year, in 71 00:03:32,440 --> 00:03:35,400 Speaker 1: Week seventeen. So let's get straight to it. We start 72 00:03:36,000 --> 00:03:38,560 Speaker 1: at lambeau Field, where the Green Bay Packers clinched the 73 00:03:38,600 --> 00:03:41,200 Speaker 1: NFC North in a first round by with a thirty 74 00:03:41,920 --> 00:03:44,960 Speaker 1: over the Detroit Lions. The Packers survived to scare in 75 00:03:45,000 --> 00:03:48,440 Speaker 1: the second quarter when Aaron Rodderers aggravated his cash strain 76 00:03:48,600 --> 00:03:53,240 Speaker 1: was carded to the locker room. Rogers returned, sparked the win, 77 00:03:53,400 --> 00:03:56,120 Speaker 1: come of the win, and then to me, locked up 78 00:03:56,160 --> 00:03:59,840 Speaker 1: his MVP award with with it. But the big picture 79 00:03:59,840 --> 00:04:02,680 Speaker 1: here is the Packers are the number two seed and 80 00:04:02,720 --> 00:04:06,760 Speaker 1: are only behind the Seattle Seahawks and home Field. I 81 00:04:06,800 --> 00:04:08,920 Speaker 1: think for a minute in the news room when we 82 00:04:09,000 --> 00:04:11,880 Speaker 1: saw Rogers go down, it was a thought of not 83 00:04:12,000 --> 00:04:15,040 Speaker 1: only does it, you know, look at what what how 84 00:04:15,040 --> 00:04:17,040 Speaker 1: difference of this difference maker is for that team. The 85 00:04:17,240 --> 00:04:21,040 Speaker 1: entire Super Bowl race completely altered because if there's one 86 00:04:21,080 --> 00:04:24,000 Speaker 1: team that I look at that can challenge Seattle at 87 00:04:24,040 --> 00:04:26,560 Speaker 1: home or in Seattle in the playoffs, it's Green Bay. 88 00:04:26,560 --> 00:04:28,400 Speaker 1: When they're firing on all cylinders, I mean, they looked 89 00:04:28,440 --> 00:04:30,920 Speaker 1: so average when he was gone. Here they go out 90 00:04:30,920 --> 00:04:34,520 Speaker 1: of it. He actually hurts the calf moments before throwing 91 00:04:34,520 --> 00:04:36,839 Speaker 1: a touchdown pastor Randall Coop to make it fourteen nothing. 92 00:04:37,080 --> 00:04:39,800 Speaker 1: He misses the equivalent of half of a quarter I 93 00:04:39,800 --> 00:04:42,360 Speaker 1: would say, of action, and it goes in fourteen zero 94 00:04:42,360 --> 00:04:45,080 Speaker 1: to fourteen fourteen. He comes back in and they win 95 00:04:45,160 --> 00:04:47,159 Speaker 1: thirty twenty. So you do the math. This guy is 96 00:04:47,200 --> 00:04:49,719 Speaker 1: that important to the team, and he's got such a 97 00:04:49,720 --> 00:04:52,800 Speaker 1: great swagger about him. Uh he I saw somewhere on 98 00:04:52,839 --> 00:04:55,479 Speaker 1: Twitter that he came up to Matt Flynn, who filled 99 00:04:55,520 --> 00:04:59,080 Speaker 1: in not so capably, uh in in Rogers's place, and said, 100 00:04:59,120 --> 00:05:02,320 Speaker 1: I got this, went in, first touch, first drive back 101 00:05:02,320 --> 00:05:05,919 Speaker 1: in touchdown, and the Packers never looked back. And you 102 00:05:05,960 --> 00:05:07,760 Speaker 1: know when he comes back in the game, I mean 103 00:05:07,800 --> 00:05:10,320 Speaker 1: this it wasn't just the season could end. It's like 104 00:05:10,360 --> 00:05:12,719 Speaker 1: this game I didn't I wasn't even looking past this game. 105 00:05:12,760 --> 00:05:15,400 Speaker 1: When the Lions come and score those two touchdowns and 106 00:05:15,440 --> 00:05:18,360 Speaker 1: you think Rogers probably isn't coming back in, You're thinking 107 00:05:18,520 --> 00:05:20,440 Speaker 1: the Lions are gonna win this division, and even if 108 00:05:20,560 --> 00:05:23,000 Speaker 1: Rodgers gets to play next week, they're gonna be on 109 00:05:23,040 --> 00:05:25,760 Speaker 1: the road and it's a whole disaster. And then they 110 00:05:25,800 --> 00:05:28,279 Speaker 1: come in and do what everyone expected. It's really amazing 111 00:05:28,279 --> 00:05:32,080 Speaker 1: that he facing that defensive line. Uh, Rogers just came 112 00:05:32,080 --> 00:05:34,080 Speaker 1: back and didn't miss a beat, and he is not healthy. 113 00:05:34,120 --> 00:05:37,000 Speaker 1: So this two week break is vital to not just 114 00:05:37,640 --> 00:05:40,400 Speaker 1: Rogers ability to play at an MVB level, but the 115 00:05:40,440 --> 00:05:42,720 Speaker 1: Packers to have any chance of advancing out of the 116 00:05:42,839 --> 00:05:45,360 Speaker 1: NFC and getting past Seattle. I don't like the fact 117 00:05:45,400 --> 00:05:48,159 Speaker 1: that you're just handing him the m v P. I mean, J. J. Watt, 118 00:05:48,440 --> 00:05:51,599 Speaker 1: had he earned it, had another monster game, your boy. 119 00:05:51,839 --> 00:05:54,719 Speaker 1: He went over twenty sacks on the year. He couldn't 120 00:05:54,760 --> 00:05:57,960 Speaker 1: have a bigger impact than any defensive player we ever 121 00:05:58,000 --> 00:05:59,760 Speaker 1: talked about. We'll get We're gonna get into that one. 122 00:05:59,800 --> 00:06:02,360 Speaker 1: We at West on the phone about maybe that debate. 123 00:06:02,440 --> 00:06:04,640 Speaker 1: But I think what Rogers did here, I thought it 124 00:06:04,760 --> 00:06:08,080 Speaker 1: was beautiful the way, such a great season, one of 125 00:06:08,080 --> 00:06:10,479 Speaker 1: the best seasons in recent memory for a quarterback. He 126 00:06:10,560 --> 00:06:12,640 Speaker 1: capped it with a little Willis Reid magic at the 127 00:06:12,720 --> 00:06:14,919 Speaker 1: end of the game. I think that will stick with voters. 128 00:06:15,279 --> 00:06:17,440 Speaker 1: I think that's gonna that's gonna put him over the top. 129 00:06:17,480 --> 00:06:19,400 Speaker 1: He's had a great year. If you're a Packers fan 130 00:06:20,000 --> 00:06:24,880 Speaker 1: and you're in your forties, even it's been since that, 131 00:06:24,960 --> 00:06:29,040 Speaker 1: you've had nothing but supreme play at quarterback, which drives 132 00:06:29,080 --> 00:06:30,800 Speaker 1: me crazy. That's fair. And the other thing I was 133 00:06:30,839 --> 00:06:32,800 Speaker 1: just thinking just now, and I wasn't gonna say it, 134 00:06:32,839 --> 00:06:34,560 Speaker 1: but since you bring it up, if it was a 135 00:06:34,560 --> 00:06:36,880 Speaker 1: Browns quarterback or a Jets quarterback that went down in 136 00:06:36,920 --> 00:06:39,600 Speaker 1: a heap in the second quarter, his calf would have 137 00:06:39,640 --> 00:06:42,560 Speaker 1: exploded inside his legs and he would he would miss 138 00:06:42,600 --> 00:06:44,040 Speaker 1: the playoffs, and they would go out and play and 139 00:06:44,080 --> 00:06:46,160 Speaker 1: then he'd never be the same player. But I don't 140 00:06:46,160 --> 00:06:48,400 Speaker 1: know if the Packers gifted franchises like this. He's back 141 00:06:48,440 --> 00:06:49,960 Speaker 1: in the second half and they win the game, and 142 00:06:50,720 --> 00:06:53,719 Speaker 1: I'm not I don't want to be sour grapes, but 143 00:06:53,800 --> 00:06:56,440 Speaker 1: it's true. Now that didn't sound sour grapes at l Well, 144 00:06:56,480 --> 00:06:59,640 Speaker 1: they're gonna they're gonna be a playoff by and Rogers. 145 00:06:59,640 --> 00:07:01,640 Speaker 1: With these seasons, Now that he's starting to stack up, 146 00:07:01,640 --> 00:07:04,320 Speaker 1: I mean we're talking about old Packers quarterbacks. At some point, 147 00:07:04,320 --> 00:07:07,200 Speaker 1: he's gonna be stacking up a career that we can 148 00:07:07,400 --> 00:07:09,320 Speaker 1: talk about him versus five. I mean, if this is 149 00:07:09,360 --> 00:07:12,640 Speaker 1: his second m v P, second MVP award, I think 150 00:07:12,640 --> 00:07:15,119 Speaker 1: he's played this year better than he ever played before, 151 00:07:15,200 --> 00:07:18,280 Speaker 1: and he already has an MVP award. La, La, We 152 00:07:18,360 --> 00:07:20,040 Speaker 1: move on. So I said that the Packers have the 153 00:07:20,080 --> 00:07:23,680 Speaker 1: number two seed, the number one seed the Seattle Seahawks, 154 00:07:23,720 --> 00:07:26,280 Speaker 1: once again, the second year in a row, they are 155 00:07:26,520 --> 00:07:29,120 Speaker 1: the top seeded team in the NFC. Pete Carrol's team 156 00:07:29,200 --> 00:07:31,360 Speaker 1: rally back from a halftime deficit to lock up the 157 00:07:31,440 --> 00:07:35,440 Speaker 1: NFC West title the victory over the St. Louis Rams. 158 00:07:36,160 --> 00:07:38,560 Speaker 1: The Seahawks were down in six nothing at the half 159 00:07:38,560 --> 00:07:41,080 Speaker 1: of this game, but took care of business. Now we're 160 00:07:41,080 --> 00:07:42,960 Speaker 1: gonna get on the phone. He is not with us 161 00:07:43,120 --> 00:07:46,400 Speaker 1: in studio today, as we said earlier, but we do 162 00:07:46,520 --> 00:07:50,160 Speaker 1: have him on the line from Cincinnati, Ohio. He's a 163 00:07:50,200 --> 00:07:52,760 Speaker 1: man that's been in Cincinnati for several days now. I 164 00:07:52,800 --> 00:07:56,360 Speaker 1: can imagine his liver is probably in great danger. Chris Westling, 165 00:07:56,400 --> 00:08:00,160 Speaker 1: How are you, buddy. I'm doing great. How very good? 166 00:08:00,200 --> 00:08:03,920 Speaker 1: It's so good. Hearing his voice proves that he's alive. Yeah, 167 00:08:04,000 --> 00:08:06,120 Speaker 1: I'm doing well, alright, very good. It's great to hear 168 00:08:06,160 --> 00:08:09,120 Speaker 1: you us. So, the Seahawks down six nothing, they come 169 00:08:09,120 --> 00:08:10,720 Speaker 1: back and win the game. Is there any reason to 170 00:08:10,800 --> 00:08:13,520 Speaker 1: think though, that they could be vulnerable essentially late in 171 00:08:13,560 --> 00:08:16,720 Speaker 1: the playoffs? Well, I don't think so. I don't think 172 00:08:16,760 --> 00:08:20,760 Speaker 1: they're invincible, but I wouldn't use the word vulnerable. There. Defense, 173 00:08:20,800 --> 00:08:22,600 Speaker 1: I think is better than it was at any point 174 00:08:22,680 --> 00:08:25,480 Speaker 1: last year when they won the Super Bowl. The offense 175 00:08:25,840 --> 00:08:28,320 Speaker 1: had two turnovers and a failed fourth down today, which 176 00:08:28,360 --> 00:08:30,840 Speaker 1: made the game seem a lot closer than it really 177 00:08:30,960 --> 00:08:33,920 Speaker 1: was for most of the first half. But they were 178 00:08:33,960 --> 00:08:35,960 Speaker 1: clearly the better team and that and that game should 179 00:08:35,960 --> 00:08:38,400 Speaker 1: have been a blowout today, But it was six nothing 180 00:08:38,440 --> 00:08:42,800 Speaker 1: at the halftime. What about their progress on offense recently 181 00:08:42,840 --> 00:08:45,280 Speaker 1: didn't show up? I mean that stunned me, just because 182 00:08:45,320 --> 00:08:48,079 Speaker 1: the Rams look like a dead team last week getting 183 00:08:48,160 --> 00:08:50,280 Speaker 1: trounced by the Giants, and then they go and it's 184 00:08:50,280 --> 00:08:52,960 Speaker 1: a tie game here in the fourth quarter. Well, like 185 00:08:53,000 --> 00:08:54,760 Speaker 1: I said, it was the two turnovers in the in 186 00:08:54,840 --> 00:08:57,200 Speaker 1: the failed fourth town. That's what made it seem like it. 187 00:08:57,559 --> 00:08:59,720 Speaker 1: The Seahawks in three or four times in many yards. 188 00:08:59,720 --> 00:09:01,800 Speaker 1: I think here's the Rams at half and they were 189 00:09:01,840 --> 00:09:03,920 Speaker 1: just down six to nothing because they turned the ball over. 190 00:09:04,400 --> 00:09:06,400 Speaker 1: So to me, those were a couple of flute plays 191 00:09:06,440 --> 00:09:09,199 Speaker 1: and they got back on track in the second half 192 00:09:09,240 --> 00:09:13,200 Speaker 1: and pretty much dominated the game. Wesley and I see 193 00:09:13,280 --> 00:09:15,920 Speaker 1: Lynch had eleven or fourteen carries and then they had 194 00:09:15,920 --> 00:09:18,120 Speaker 1: Turban with eleven. What was going on there? Why the 195 00:09:18,160 --> 00:09:21,360 Speaker 1: committee to situations? I have no idea. I didn't hear 196 00:09:21,400 --> 00:09:24,679 Speaker 1: any explanation. They just decided to kind of rotate the 197 00:09:24,720 --> 00:09:27,880 Speaker 1: two backs throughout the game. This whole Lynch thing's bizarre. 198 00:09:27,960 --> 00:09:31,959 Speaker 1: Like he starts he misses the first quarter every other game. 199 00:09:32,000 --> 00:09:34,360 Speaker 1: It seems now they're splitting carries with Turban. He did 200 00:09:34,440 --> 00:09:37,280 Speaker 1: have a lost bumble today, maybe that was a factor 201 00:09:37,320 --> 00:09:39,439 Speaker 1: in it. But it's just it's such a strange thing 202 00:09:39,480 --> 00:09:43,000 Speaker 1: because he's playing great, and yet there's always this little 203 00:09:43,040 --> 00:09:44,760 Speaker 1: extra stuf. Are they resting him tho, I mean that 204 00:09:44,760 --> 00:09:47,680 Speaker 1: would make some sense maybe, I really, I really have 205 00:09:47,760 --> 00:09:51,200 Speaker 1: no idea. There was back and forth between two games, 206 00:09:51,200 --> 00:09:53,080 Speaker 1: and I didn't hear any mention of it, I would 207 00:09:53,120 --> 00:09:56,600 Speaker 1: assume Turban was playing well, so maybe that factored into it. 208 00:09:56,679 --> 00:09:58,480 Speaker 1: West we're burying the lead. By the way, though, that 209 00:09:58,600 --> 00:10:01,320 Speaker 1: the St. Louis Rams didn't finished seven and nine, they 210 00:10:01,360 --> 00:10:03,840 Speaker 1: finished six and ten? Was that a mistake and you know, 211 00:10:03,880 --> 00:10:06,480 Speaker 1: bookkeeping or something? How did this happen? Well? Did they 212 00:10:06,480 --> 00:10:08,560 Speaker 1: go night last year? Maybe they hit the kind of 213 00:10:08,559 --> 00:10:11,199 Speaker 1: swing that that's seven eight wind Platzau that they love 214 00:10:11,240 --> 00:10:12,960 Speaker 1: to hit. They didn't get there this year. What does 215 00:10:13,000 --> 00:10:16,719 Speaker 1: it mean? Well, their quarterback was out all years, so 216 00:10:17,040 --> 00:10:18,640 Speaker 1: maybe if Sam Brandford was in there, there would have 217 00:10:18,640 --> 00:10:21,520 Speaker 1: got seven. That's What kind of setup do you have 218 00:10:21,559 --> 00:10:24,920 Speaker 1: there in Cincinnati that you're working with. I am at 219 00:10:24,920 --> 00:10:28,880 Speaker 1: my brother's house in a part of town called Cheviot. Okay, 220 00:10:28,920 --> 00:10:31,040 Speaker 1: I mean, are you like in a basement by yourself? 221 00:10:31,200 --> 00:10:34,680 Speaker 1: What you know? Are people all drinking and partying around you? 222 00:10:34,760 --> 00:10:39,199 Speaker 1: What's happening? There's no drinking going on today. Everyone is 223 00:10:39,320 --> 00:10:43,120 Speaker 1: recovering from the previous four or five days. Wow, that's 224 00:10:43,120 --> 00:10:46,160 Speaker 1: an upset. Wait, Wesley and I downstairs. I put the 225 00:10:46,240 --> 00:10:50,360 Speaker 1: over under at beers drank by Wesley at eighty. You've 226 00:10:50,400 --> 00:10:53,080 Speaker 1: been there since Tuesday, so I think that's actually that's fair, 227 00:10:53,120 --> 00:10:56,760 Speaker 1: that's maybe even conservative. Where does that land? Where do 228 00:10:56,800 --> 00:10:59,080 Speaker 1: we land with that? I haven't came with them, but 229 00:10:59,160 --> 00:11:01,719 Speaker 1: I don't I don't think they I will say this. 230 00:11:01,800 --> 00:11:04,840 Speaker 1: Does that mean it's far more than for any of 231 00:11:04,840 --> 00:11:07,720 Speaker 1: our younger listeners? You know, the key when it comes 232 00:11:07,720 --> 00:11:12,000 Speaker 1: to ingesting alcohol is a drink responsibly inside the house. 233 00:11:13,480 --> 00:11:15,880 Speaker 1: You know, you said, Lesling, that could count all all 234 00:11:15,960 --> 00:11:20,160 Speaker 1: seven brothers. There are a lot of brothers are single 235 00:11:20,160 --> 00:11:25,000 Speaker 1: handedly keeping the American beer industry afloat. All right, Let's 236 00:11:25,000 --> 00:11:29,280 Speaker 1: move on to Marco Murray and Des Bryant each brookes 237 00:11:29,320 --> 00:11:32,360 Speaker 1: single season franchise records, leading the Dallas Cowboys to a 238 00:11:33,040 --> 00:11:37,280 Speaker 1: seventeen victory over the Washington Redskins on Sunday. The Cowboys 239 00:11:37,280 --> 00:11:39,760 Speaker 1: finishing season at twelve and four and will host the 240 00:11:39,800 --> 00:11:43,160 Speaker 1: Detroit Lions next weekend to Jerry World West, bring it 241 00:11:43,240 --> 00:11:46,440 Speaker 1: back in. The Cowboys proved this all wrong this season. 242 00:11:46,520 --> 00:11:50,120 Speaker 1: You buying in on the Boys as an NFC contender, Well, 243 00:11:50,120 --> 00:11:52,000 Speaker 1: I buy in that they could beat the Lions in 244 00:11:52,040 --> 00:11:55,319 Speaker 1: the first round. But after that, we'll see what happened 245 00:11:55,320 --> 00:11:57,320 Speaker 1: if they go to Green Bay or Seattle. I don't 246 00:11:57,320 --> 00:12:01,559 Speaker 1: think they're going into either one of those places and win. I. UM, 247 00:12:01,600 --> 00:12:04,040 Speaker 1: I don't like one I'm seeing from DeMarco Murray. He 248 00:12:04,120 --> 00:12:07,240 Speaker 1: had a hundred yards today. UM looked okay, but he's 249 00:12:07,280 --> 00:12:09,720 Speaker 1: not explosive. A lot of it was because the Redskins 250 00:12:10,040 --> 00:12:13,640 Speaker 1: were so bad at tackling today. UM, I don't think 251 00:12:13,640 --> 00:12:17,719 Speaker 1: he's today. They're terrible at tackling every week. They were 252 00:12:17,800 --> 00:12:20,720 Speaker 1: even worse today. Watch his touchdown run and it looks 253 00:12:20,760 --> 00:12:23,680 Speaker 1: like they didn't even try. Um. I just don't think 254 00:12:23,679 --> 00:12:25,600 Speaker 1: he's a tackle breaker that he was earlier in the year, 255 00:12:25,640 --> 00:12:27,840 Speaker 1: and it looks like those carries are kind of taking 256 00:12:27,840 --> 00:12:29,880 Speaker 1: their tool on his body. I'm kind of surprised for 257 00:12:29,920 --> 00:12:32,080 Speaker 1: you to give up on the Lions so quickly, because 258 00:12:32,080 --> 00:12:33,840 Speaker 1: that's kind of been your team. You did a very 259 00:12:33,920 --> 00:12:36,920 Speaker 1: nice preseason call of them as a playoff team, and 260 00:12:36,960 --> 00:12:39,600 Speaker 1: you got that right. I'm a little surprised. You're just 261 00:12:39,679 --> 00:12:43,880 Speaker 1: assuming they're gonna lose it. Dallas, Well, they'll be the underdog, UM, 262 00:12:43,920 --> 00:12:46,320 Speaker 1: And I think that's probably right, but I also think 263 00:12:46,320 --> 00:12:48,240 Speaker 1: they could certainly go in there and beat them. It's 264 00:12:48,280 --> 00:12:51,520 Speaker 1: just to me, I don't know. I saw I had 265 00:12:51,520 --> 00:12:54,000 Speaker 1: the tackles game on in the background today and how 266 00:12:54,040 --> 00:12:57,559 Speaker 1: many passes Stafford missed. UH and that's been a trend 267 00:12:57,679 --> 00:13:00,120 Speaker 1: for him all year. So if he if he is 268 00:13:00,160 --> 00:13:02,160 Speaker 1: not making passes, it's gonna be hard to back him. 269 00:13:02,280 --> 00:13:04,760 Speaker 1: But they think overall they have a more talented team 270 00:13:04,800 --> 00:13:08,400 Speaker 1: than than the Cowboys. And what about Tony Romo. I 271 00:13:08,440 --> 00:13:10,559 Speaker 1: was seeing a lot of tweets out there that people 272 00:13:10,600 --> 00:13:12,320 Speaker 1: are surprised that he was in this game for so long. 273 00:13:12,360 --> 00:13:15,679 Speaker 1: He ended up throwing thirty four passes. UH played very 274 00:13:15,720 --> 00:13:18,560 Speaker 1: well again and obviously one of the best, if not 275 00:13:18,679 --> 00:13:21,000 Speaker 1: the best statistical season of his career. Why was he 276 00:13:21,040 --> 00:13:25,200 Speaker 1: in for so long? I think um Jason Garretty had 277 00:13:25,240 --> 00:13:29,400 Speaker 1: a different plan than every analyst and tweeter in America. 278 00:13:29,480 --> 00:13:32,760 Speaker 1: Today was some kind of outrage about him playing his 279 00:13:32,800 --> 00:13:35,080 Speaker 1: starters and he was clearly playing to win the game. 280 00:13:36,040 --> 00:13:37,600 Speaker 1: I would have thought they would have take him Murray 281 00:13:37,600 --> 00:13:39,240 Speaker 1: out when they got when they jumped out till its 282 00:13:39,240 --> 00:13:41,760 Speaker 1: twenty seven to seven lead, but they kept him in 283 00:13:41,840 --> 00:13:43,559 Speaker 1: and then the red Skins had a couple of players 284 00:13:43,559 --> 00:13:45,640 Speaker 1: to get back in the game, and at that point 285 00:13:45,679 --> 00:13:47,719 Speaker 1: it was probably too late to take them out. What 286 00:13:48,120 --> 00:13:50,240 Speaker 1: you know, Robert Griffin, he goes in, he throws three 287 00:13:50,720 --> 00:13:53,880 Speaker 1: thirty six yards touchdown in two picks. I mean they 288 00:13:53,920 --> 00:13:56,840 Speaker 1: go into the offseason. I know there's a lot of reasons, 289 00:13:56,880 --> 00:13:58,280 Speaker 1: but a couple of weeks ago to think he might 290 00:13:58,280 --> 00:14:00,959 Speaker 1: not even be back with Washington next season, and you've 291 00:14:00,960 --> 00:14:02,439 Speaker 1: watched him play a couple of weeks in a row. 292 00:14:02,440 --> 00:14:05,960 Speaker 1: What's you take. I would not pay attention to the 293 00:14:06,000 --> 00:14:08,600 Speaker 1: box for it all today. I thought he was terrible. 294 00:14:10,120 --> 00:14:14,400 Speaker 1: He threw two red zone interceptions on back to back series, 295 00:14:15,000 --> 00:14:18,440 Speaker 1: lost a fumble it was at a strip sack fumble 296 00:14:18,440 --> 00:14:20,720 Speaker 1: that went for a touchdown deep in his own territory, 297 00:14:21,080 --> 00:14:23,000 Speaker 1: and as too longest places of the game came on 298 00:14:23,120 --> 00:14:26,320 Speaker 1: play action passes behind the line of scrimmage that de 299 00:14:26,360 --> 00:14:29,200 Speaker 1: Sean Jackson and Pierreg Song did most of the work on. 300 00:14:29,720 --> 00:14:32,360 Speaker 1: So I think the box score is incredibly misleading for 301 00:14:32,440 --> 00:14:35,160 Speaker 1: him there. It has been all year. Really. There's a 302 00:14:35,200 --> 00:14:37,800 Speaker 1: quote after the game j Grun when asked about Griffin, 303 00:14:37,920 --> 00:14:40,200 Speaker 1: and the quote was a lot has to change. I 304 00:14:40,200 --> 00:14:43,680 Speaker 1: immediately save that one for the morning people because that's 305 00:14:43,720 --> 00:14:45,680 Speaker 1: that's a good better press. That's a good post there, 306 00:14:45,960 --> 00:14:48,480 Speaker 1: And I do want to give Jason Garrett credit this 307 00:14:48,560 --> 00:14:50,440 Speaker 1: is the opposite of kind of the old Jason Garry. 308 00:14:50,480 --> 00:14:52,240 Speaker 1: I like the fact that they played to win this game. 309 00:14:52,360 --> 00:14:54,400 Speaker 1: It doesn't make sense of Murray's out there for so long, 310 00:14:54,840 --> 00:14:57,520 Speaker 1: but we're gonna kill a Cowboys team for stomping on 311 00:14:57,560 --> 00:14:59,440 Speaker 1: a team on the road taking care of business. And 312 00:14:59,480 --> 00:15:01,480 Speaker 1: for a few minute Sunday afternoon, it looked like the 313 00:15:01,520 --> 00:15:03,160 Speaker 1: Cowboys were gonna get it by. You gotta take a 314 00:15:03,240 --> 00:15:05,720 Speaker 1: chance and try to get that by. Yeah, and that's 315 00:15:05,800 --> 00:15:08,680 Speaker 1: the final score is a really reflective. I mean, the 316 00:15:08,720 --> 00:15:11,240 Speaker 1: Cowboys work control game. But at one point I believe 317 00:15:11,240 --> 00:15:13,680 Speaker 1: it was twenty seven to twenty and then the RG 318 00:15:13,840 --> 00:15:17,240 Speaker 1: three fumble happened, and another I think Dunbar had a 319 00:15:17,240 --> 00:15:20,800 Speaker 1: long run, So it was it was kind of piling 320 00:15:20,800 --> 00:15:23,280 Speaker 1: on at the end there. But you know, you can't 321 00:15:23,360 --> 00:15:25,200 Speaker 1: argue with the Cowboys winning four games in a row 322 00:15:25,240 --> 00:15:28,040 Speaker 1: and blowing teams out entered the playoffs. He said, there's 323 00:15:28,080 --> 00:15:30,280 Speaker 1: there's the momentum you want, all right, So the Cowboys 324 00:15:30,280 --> 00:15:32,680 Speaker 1: are going to the playoffs. One team that is not 325 00:15:32,720 --> 00:15:35,160 Speaker 1: going to the playoffs as the Niners, who sent Jim 326 00:15:35,200 --> 00:15:39,120 Speaker 1: harbow out a winner on Sunday, a victory over the 327 00:15:39,160 --> 00:15:43,520 Speaker 1: Cardinals at the Jeans Youth Hostel in San Francisco. The 328 00:15:43,640 --> 00:15:46,040 Speaker 1: Niners then an now shortly after the game that the 329 00:15:46,080 --> 00:15:49,240 Speaker 1: team had quote mutually parted ways with Harbaugh, who, of 330 00:15:49,280 --> 00:15:51,480 Speaker 1: course at the Niners to three NFC title games and 331 00:15:51,560 --> 00:15:55,000 Speaker 1: one Super Bowl in his four years. So a huge 332 00:15:55,080 --> 00:15:57,120 Speaker 1: move by the organization, one that we all saw coming 333 00:15:57,160 --> 00:16:00,800 Speaker 1: for months, but finally official. West have the Niners to 334 00:16:00,880 --> 00:16:03,640 Speaker 1: use a job phrase from rest of development. Well, the 335 00:16:03,760 --> 00:16:05,880 Speaker 1: Niners one day look back at this and say, I've 336 00:16:05,920 --> 00:16:09,920 Speaker 1: made a huge mistake. They're sending Jim Harball back to 337 00:16:10,040 --> 00:16:15,400 Speaker 1: whence he came Um, college football, I guess, But um, yeah, 338 00:16:15,480 --> 00:16:17,440 Speaker 1: I think they have. He has more wins and four 339 00:16:17,560 --> 00:16:20,200 Speaker 1: and I think four years than they had the previous 340 00:16:20,200 --> 00:16:23,480 Speaker 1: eight years, forty nine of them. He made a point 341 00:16:23,560 --> 00:16:26,360 Speaker 1: to point that out in his postgame press conference. He 342 00:16:26,400 --> 00:16:29,960 Speaker 1: thought it was fitting he's going out forty nine wins. Well, 343 00:16:30,000 --> 00:16:32,440 Speaker 1: I don't think he's blameless in any of this. I mean, 344 00:16:32,720 --> 00:16:35,760 Speaker 1: obviously he wears out his wes welcome pretty easily, so 345 00:16:36,360 --> 00:16:38,560 Speaker 1: he can't He's not blameless. And I don't know. I 346 00:16:38,600 --> 00:16:41,640 Speaker 1: guess Trent Bulkings the power struggle, and I doubt that 347 00:16:41,680 --> 00:16:44,400 Speaker 1: the owner was really behind Jim Harball for the for 348 00:16:44,440 --> 00:16:47,440 Speaker 1: the last nine months. So there's there's a lot going 349 00:16:47,440 --> 00:16:49,760 Speaker 1: on behind the scenes. But yeah, I think that the 350 00:16:49,800 --> 00:16:51,560 Speaker 1: next coach they had will probably have a lot less 351 00:16:51,560 --> 00:16:54,920 Speaker 1: success than than Jim Harball. If this was Frank Gore's 352 00:16:55,080 --> 00:16:57,520 Speaker 1: last game as a forty nine or really these last two. 353 00:16:57,560 --> 00:16:59,440 Speaker 1: I know they ended up losing the Chargers game, but 354 00:16:59,480 --> 00:17:01,960 Speaker 1: he had a myster performance for him to put up 355 00:17:02,000 --> 00:17:05,040 Speaker 1: a hundred and forty four yards in his last game 356 00:17:05,040 --> 00:17:07,800 Speaker 1: in San Francisco and run out the clock on the 357 00:17:07,880 --> 00:17:10,879 Speaker 1: end and help deliver a victory for the around the 358 00:17:11,000 --> 00:17:13,560 Speaker 1: NFL crew, We've had a year long competition against our 359 00:17:13,600 --> 00:17:17,200 Speaker 1: feature departments and picks, and this forty Niners win clinched 360 00:17:17,200 --> 00:17:19,480 Speaker 1: it for and and it is a greg a very 361 00:17:19,800 --> 00:17:22,639 Speaker 1: greg like moved to get behind the inconvenient truth at 362 00:17:22,640 --> 00:17:24,399 Speaker 1: a time when you know most people can put the 363 00:17:24,440 --> 00:17:26,920 Speaker 1: focus on hardball, you gotta get the inconvenient truth. Whatever 364 00:17:27,000 --> 00:17:30,680 Speaker 1: it was. Game said after the game of his press 365 00:17:30,760 --> 00:17:33,200 Speaker 1: or where he was very reflective, he said, Frank Gore 366 00:17:33,280 --> 00:17:35,840 Speaker 1: is gonna be playing football somewhere next year. And you know, 367 00:17:35,960 --> 00:17:38,840 Speaker 1: louded how great he played, how how funny was that 368 00:17:38,880 --> 00:17:41,480 Speaker 1: the whole press conference was weird. When he left the 369 00:17:41,480 --> 00:17:44,720 Speaker 1: press conference, they literally announced the move one minute later, 370 00:17:44,760 --> 00:17:47,360 Speaker 1: so they were waiting till his press conference ended, then 371 00:17:47,400 --> 00:17:51,480 Speaker 1: they announced the move. He quoted dirty Dancing. Yeah, I've 372 00:17:51,480 --> 00:17:54,040 Speaker 1: had the time of my life. And he's like, it's 373 00:17:54,080 --> 00:17:56,399 Speaker 1: like that song and he's got a smile on his face. 374 00:17:56,680 --> 00:17:59,639 Speaker 1: What a weird. It's a perfect way for him to 375 00:17:59,680 --> 00:18:02,359 Speaker 1: go out up because that he his press conferences were 376 00:18:02,400 --> 00:18:04,639 Speaker 1: stuff of legend. And I guess if he's going to 377 00:18:04,720 --> 00:18:07,800 Speaker 1: Michigan or wherever that's uh, you know, he's gonna do 378 00:18:07,840 --> 00:18:09,720 Speaker 1: well there too. And it only sets up by the 379 00:18:09,720 --> 00:18:12,760 Speaker 1: way hardball he's gonna he won like crazy at the 380 00:18:12,840 --> 00:18:14,719 Speaker 1: NFL level. He's gonna go to Michigan. I'm sure their 381 00:18:14,760 --> 00:18:17,119 Speaker 1: program will get better with him there, and then another 382 00:18:17,160 --> 00:18:19,480 Speaker 1: four or five years from now he will be a 383 00:18:19,520 --> 00:18:21,399 Speaker 1: guy that gets paid more than any coach in the 384 00:18:21,440 --> 00:18:24,400 Speaker 1: history of the NFL. With some sad sack franchise, I'll 385 00:18:24,440 --> 00:18:26,480 Speaker 1: guess it will be the Dolphins pays him all the 386 00:18:26,480 --> 00:18:27,840 Speaker 1: money in the world to bring him back to the 387 00:18:27,960 --> 00:18:30,320 Speaker 1: national I'm surprised that he's going to college football. I 388 00:18:30,320 --> 00:18:32,600 Speaker 1: know the money is massive, and as we tape this, 389 00:18:32,680 --> 00:18:34,840 Speaker 1: we don't know it officially, but it sure looks that one. Yeah. 390 00:18:34,840 --> 00:18:36,800 Speaker 1: I mean, I just I think that there's something about 391 00:18:36,840 --> 00:18:38,800 Speaker 1: him in the NFL that clicked, and I I thought 392 00:18:38,800 --> 00:18:41,040 Speaker 1: it all along he would want to put another NFL team. 393 00:18:41,200 --> 00:18:44,040 Speaker 1: Sometimes it's about the money and Rappaport, you know, reports 394 00:18:44,119 --> 00:18:45,960 Speaker 1: is more than eight million dollars a year, which is 395 00:18:46,080 --> 00:18:48,560 Speaker 1: insane money. It's more than any NFL coach is making 396 00:18:48,600 --> 00:18:50,960 Speaker 1: except for maybe Bill Belichick, which we don't know. Before 397 00:18:51,000 --> 00:18:53,600 Speaker 1: we move on, we know the Cardinals are going to Carolina, Chris, 398 00:18:53,680 --> 00:18:56,600 Speaker 1: do you have any Cardinals Ryan Linley as the starter 399 00:18:56,920 --> 00:19:01,040 Speaker 1: thoughts going into the park for it. It's it's hard 400 00:19:01,119 --> 00:19:04,679 Speaker 1: to kind of take apart his game and feel like 401 00:19:05,640 --> 00:19:07,560 Speaker 1: the Cardinals have a chance to go in to win. 402 00:19:07,680 --> 00:19:09,600 Speaker 1: I mean, he had his best two drives of his 403 00:19:09,680 --> 00:19:12,320 Speaker 1: career to open the game and then to close out 404 00:19:12,359 --> 00:19:15,560 Speaker 1: the first half, the two touchdown drives, and then he 405 00:19:15,680 --> 00:19:18,679 Speaker 1: threw three interceptions and had one more that was in 406 00:19:18,720 --> 00:19:20,879 Speaker 1: and out of the hands of a defensive back with 407 00:19:20,960 --> 00:19:23,359 Speaker 1: no wide receiver within five yards of him. So it 408 00:19:23,400 --> 00:19:26,800 Speaker 1: should have been at least four interceptions had Happy Feet 409 00:19:26,840 --> 00:19:30,800 Speaker 1: stared down. His receivers still look like Ryan Linley. But 410 00:19:31,440 --> 00:19:34,200 Speaker 1: I guess a little bit of progress, and I still think, 411 00:19:34,440 --> 00:19:36,840 Speaker 1: you know, it's gonna be funny to see a team 412 00:19:36,880 --> 00:19:38,879 Speaker 1: with four more wins in their opponent go in and 413 00:19:38,920 --> 00:19:41,600 Speaker 1: be an underdog on the road in the playoffs. It's annoying. 414 00:19:41,640 --> 00:19:43,520 Speaker 1: They should change the rules and you should be able 415 00:19:43,520 --> 00:19:46,480 Speaker 1: to host this help that to happen. Yeah, And if 416 00:19:46,480 --> 00:19:48,520 Speaker 1: the Cardinals were going to be a playoff factor this 417 00:19:48,600 --> 00:19:51,440 Speaker 1: year with their backup quarterbacks, they needed to be with defense. 418 00:19:51,720 --> 00:19:54,160 Speaker 1: And they gave up almost six hundred yards last week, 419 00:19:54,280 --> 00:19:56,359 Speaker 1: and they gave up almost four hundred yards here to 420 00:19:56,400 --> 00:19:59,560 Speaker 1: allows forty Niners offense. So they're not really playing well 421 00:19:59,600 --> 00:20:01,679 Speaker 1: at any West. We're gonna bring you back in a 422 00:20:01,680 --> 00:20:03,639 Speaker 1: little bit to talk a little J. J. Watt and 423 00:20:03,680 --> 00:20:06,800 Speaker 1: the m v P race. All right, Okay, so the 424 00:20:06,840 --> 00:20:09,080 Speaker 1: Cardinals lose and they are not They are going to 425 00:20:09,080 --> 00:20:12,199 Speaker 1: the postseason, and the Carolina Panthers are also going. That 426 00:20:12,240 --> 00:20:14,359 Speaker 1: will be the opponent of the Panthers, who won the 427 00:20:14,440 --> 00:20:18,200 Speaker 1: NFC South with a convincing thirty four three victory over 428 00:20:18,240 --> 00:20:20,720 Speaker 1: the Falcons at the Georgia Dome. It's hard to walk 429 00:20:20,720 --> 00:20:23,399 Speaker 1: into the Georgia Dome and win. But now they did it. 430 00:20:23,440 --> 00:20:25,879 Speaker 1: The Pathers did it. They finished seven eight and one 431 00:20:26,400 --> 00:20:28,880 Speaker 1: UH four game winning streak. They'll host the Cardinals next week. 432 00:20:28,920 --> 00:20:34,080 Speaker 1: Greg the Pathers run the historically in f NFC South, 433 00:20:34,720 --> 00:20:38,080 Speaker 1: it was Ron Rivera's dream game. He won a game 434 00:20:38,640 --> 00:20:43,080 Speaker 1: by thirty one points in which is leading receiver caught 435 00:20:43,119 --> 00:20:46,840 Speaker 1: one pass for twenty eight yards. I mean, that's Ron Rivera. 436 00:20:46,960 --> 00:20:48,840 Speaker 1: He just wants to run the ball. And they did 437 00:20:48,840 --> 00:20:51,160 Speaker 1: it for a hundred ninety four yards. And they found 438 00:20:51,160 --> 00:20:54,240 Speaker 1: an identity over this last four weeks with the run 439 00:20:54,280 --> 00:20:57,040 Speaker 1: game with Jonathan Stewart, with Cam Newton as a big 440 00:20:57,080 --> 00:20:59,639 Speaker 1: part of the run game, and a pass rush that 441 00:20:59,720 --> 00:21:02,480 Speaker 1: they didn't have early in the year mostly Charles Johnson, 442 00:21:03,119 --> 00:21:06,840 Speaker 1: but Startle had a big day today, Coney Eli's popping 443 00:21:06,920 --> 00:21:08,880 Speaker 1: up a little bit here and there, and and they've 444 00:21:09,000 --> 00:21:11,520 Speaker 1: looked like a team that is kind of playoff ready. 445 00:21:11,600 --> 00:21:14,320 Speaker 1: I don't like this matchup for Arizona also because of 446 00:21:14,359 --> 00:21:17,159 Speaker 1: the way Caroline is Secondary is playing. I thought they 447 00:21:17,200 --> 00:21:20,479 Speaker 1: did a very good job against Cleveland last week and 448 00:21:20,520 --> 00:21:24,760 Speaker 1: then today they held Julio Jones to fifty eight yards. Well, 449 00:21:24,800 --> 00:21:27,480 Speaker 1: I think It starts with the pass rush. Matt Ryan 450 00:21:27,640 --> 00:21:30,240 Speaker 1: had a terrible game. He threw two pick six is 451 00:21:30,400 --> 00:21:33,320 Speaker 1: he averaged in the Gabbard zone five point five, but 452 00:21:33,400 --> 00:21:37,439 Speaker 1: it was because he was forcing passes while under pressure Roman. 453 00:21:37,680 --> 00:21:39,960 Speaker 1: When Roman Harper is returning the ball for a pick 454 00:21:40,000 --> 00:21:43,040 Speaker 1: six with his gray hair, you know you got problems. 455 00:21:43,200 --> 00:21:45,080 Speaker 1: But first of all, you know it's okay that have 456 00:21:45,119 --> 00:21:48,000 Speaker 1: some gray hair. Second of all, last week you said 457 00:21:48,000 --> 00:21:50,760 Speaker 1: that it was Matt Ryan's division NFC South. You said 458 00:21:50,760 --> 00:21:52,600 Speaker 1: he took it from Drew Brees. But how about Cam 459 00:21:52,640 --> 00:21:55,880 Speaker 1: Newton sticking it in Rosenthal's face, saying, take this pipe 460 00:21:55,880 --> 00:21:59,920 Speaker 1: and smoke it through yards. No, maybe I'm the best 461 00:22:00,119 --> 00:22:02,359 Speaker 1: quarterback in the back to back NFC South champions, and 462 00:22:02,400 --> 00:22:04,400 Speaker 1: that's never happened. No one's ever gone back to back 463 00:22:04,440 --> 00:22:07,240 Speaker 1: to run the out it is Cam Newton's division. I 464 00:22:08,000 --> 00:22:11,560 Speaker 1: think I thought Matt Ryan had a better year overall, 465 00:22:12,119 --> 00:22:14,520 Speaker 1: but there's no doubt who is the bigger difference maker 466 00:22:14,600 --> 00:22:16,880 Speaker 1: over the last month. I mean, Newton missed that game. 467 00:22:16,960 --> 00:22:19,560 Speaker 1: Derrick Anderson kept it moving. But you saw it in 468 00:22:19,600 --> 00:22:22,920 Speaker 1: the Browns game. This guy just got a car accident. 469 00:22:23,160 --> 00:22:25,639 Speaker 1: That's the amazing thing. Four wins that are narrative. In 470 00:22:25,680 --> 00:22:28,359 Speaker 1: the middle of this thing, his car tumbles three times 471 00:22:28,359 --> 00:22:31,080 Speaker 1: over an intersection, you know, and he's back a couple 472 00:22:31,040 --> 00:22:32,880 Speaker 1: of weeks later, and he's winning games in the playoffs. 473 00:22:33,040 --> 00:22:35,640 Speaker 1: The box score show six rushes for fifty one yards 474 00:22:35,640 --> 00:22:37,880 Speaker 1: in a touchdown, which looks good but it's not insane. 475 00:22:38,119 --> 00:22:40,719 Speaker 1: But those were such big plays in this game, and 476 00:22:40,800 --> 00:22:42,879 Speaker 1: so many of them looked like they were gonna be 477 00:22:42,920 --> 00:22:45,440 Speaker 1: a sack to set up either third and twenty five 478 00:22:45,520 --> 00:22:47,600 Speaker 1: or just to punt it, and instead he gets out 479 00:22:47,640 --> 00:22:49,760 Speaker 1: and ends up running for fifteen yards. That that was 480 00:22:49,800 --> 00:22:51,480 Speaker 1: the big difference in this game. I saw that last 481 00:22:51,520 --> 00:22:53,919 Speaker 1: week to where he was a converting third downs with 482 00:22:53,960 --> 00:22:56,080 Speaker 1: his feet, and you know, a lot of the times 483 00:22:56,080 --> 00:22:58,560 Speaker 1: with running quarterbacks, it's oh, they take off at the 484 00:22:58,560 --> 00:23:00,840 Speaker 1: wrong times, that's what they trust more. But not with 485 00:23:00,840 --> 00:23:03,520 Speaker 1: Newton recently, looks like he's making good decisions when to 486 00:23:03,640 --> 00:23:06,760 Speaker 1: run and killed Cleveland last week. Obviously did a nice 487 00:23:06,800 --> 00:23:08,680 Speaker 1: job today as well. For the record, And I don't 488 00:23:08,680 --> 00:23:10,040 Speaker 1: know if I'm going out on a limb on this, 489 00:23:10,080 --> 00:23:12,760 Speaker 1: but I would be He's shocked if the Panthers lose 490 00:23:12,880 --> 00:23:15,720 Speaker 1: next week to the Cardinals, who you know, they don't 491 00:23:15,720 --> 00:23:18,080 Speaker 1: have a quarterback and they're just too many losses. They're 492 00:23:18,400 --> 00:23:21,400 Speaker 1: playing in Charlotte. I think the Panthers are gonna win 493 00:23:21,560 --> 00:23:24,920 Speaker 1: convincingly and advance of the divisional playoffs. Got a week 494 00:23:25,000 --> 00:23:27,640 Speaker 1: to talk about that we do. We do twelve quarterback 495 00:23:27,720 --> 00:23:30,240 Speaker 1: hits in this game in six sacks for the Panthers. 496 00:23:30,240 --> 00:23:33,160 Speaker 1: That was impressive. I don't I don't totally rule Bruce Arians. 497 00:23:33,200 --> 00:23:35,600 Speaker 1: Nobody can believe in us out. But you're right, they 498 00:23:35,640 --> 00:23:39,080 Speaker 1: look they look like the better team, but we're just 499 00:23:39,200 --> 00:23:41,800 Speaker 1: we shouldn't. Well, you're not going to deal with Atlanta's 500 00:23:41,840 --> 00:23:44,119 Speaker 1: offensive line next week, not that Arizona. Is this a 501 00:23:44,119 --> 00:23:46,520 Speaker 1: whole lot better and and we're probably not gonna deal 502 00:23:46,600 --> 00:23:49,639 Speaker 1: we should say with Mike Smith next year as an 503 00:23:49,760 --> 00:23:52,320 Speaker 1: NFL head coach, and he seems like a great guy, 504 00:23:52,400 --> 00:23:55,520 Speaker 1: but this was the opposite of everything he preached in 505 00:23:55,560 --> 00:23:58,879 Speaker 1: the preseason, and which was running and toughness. All they 506 00:23:58,920 --> 00:24:00,639 Speaker 1: can do is throw the ball little bit, and I 507 00:24:00,640 --> 00:24:02,240 Speaker 1: think by the time a lot of people listen to this, 508 00:24:02,280 --> 00:24:04,479 Speaker 1: he won't be the coach. How the Falcons and Jets 509 00:24:04,800 --> 00:24:07,760 Speaker 1: very conveniently switch head coaches. I see Rex Ryan going 510 00:24:07,760 --> 00:24:11,520 Speaker 1: to Atlanta reforming that team, and then the Jets getting 511 00:24:11,560 --> 00:24:13,600 Speaker 1: Mike Smith, who I like that he brings an era 512 00:24:13,680 --> 00:24:17,639 Speaker 1: of calm to the Jets. Calm hell, both of you. 513 00:24:17,640 --> 00:24:19,919 Speaker 1: You know what, you know what, Mike Rex. As I 514 00:24:19,960 --> 00:24:21,840 Speaker 1: said in the last show, Rex needs to go somewhere. 515 00:24:21,920 --> 00:24:23,879 Speaker 1: There's an established quarterback. Matt Ryan is the guy, but 516 00:24:23,880 --> 00:24:25,560 Speaker 1: I don't want to play in that massole. And a 517 00:24:25,600 --> 00:24:28,560 Speaker 1: lot of people feel like at is a very good 518 00:24:28,800 --> 00:24:32,360 Speaker 1: good selection for Rex. That there's good jobs available this year. 519 00:24:32,680 --> 00:24:35,680 Speaker 1: I mean San Francisco is an incredible job and Atlanta 520 00:24:35,720 --> 00:24:37,359 Speaker 1: is a really good job, I think just because of 521 00:24:37,359 --> 00:24:41,040 Speaker 1: Matt Ryan and Julia Jones. Alright, so we move on. 522 00:24:41,720 --> 00:24:43,200 Speaker 1: The Eagles will not be one of the teams in 523 00:24:43,240 --> 00:24:45,679 Speaker 1: the postseason this year, but they closed out their season 524 00:24:45,760 --> 00:24:49,560 Speaker 1: with a thirty four win over the Giants at the Meadowlands. 525 00:24:49,560 --> 00:24:53,120 Speaker 1: The Eagles survived another monster day from Odell Beckham Jr. 526 00:24:53,440 --> 00:24:55,440 Speaker 1: And avoided the dreaded nine and three to nine and 527 00:24:55,560 --> 00:24:57,440 Speaker 1: seven fade. I don't think we need to get too 528 00:24:57,440 --> 00:24:59,040 Speaker 1: far into this game. We got a lot of games 529 00:24:59,040 --> 00:25:03,320 Speaker 1: to get to of more consequence, but I guess just 530 00:25:03,400 --> 00:25:06,159 Speaker 1: the middle post mortem for the Eagles and the Giants, gentlemen, 531 00:25:07,840 --> 00:25:09,960 Speaker 1: I think Philly. I mean, if your Chip Kelly, You've 532 00:25:10,000 --> 00:25:14,600 Speaker 1: got to think about two years in a row underwhelming 533 00:25:14,680 --> 00:25:17,600 Speaker 1: quarterbacks have been able to work this offense to some degree. 534 00:25:17,960 --> 00:25:20,600 Speaker 1: But the Eagles passed up on a quarterback in the 535 00:25:20,680 --> 00:25:22,960 Speaker 1: draft last year. Now it looks look well, look ridiculous. 536 00:25:22,960 --> 00:25:25,080 Speaker 1: But they passed up on man'zelle. Now that looks smart 537 00:25:25,119 --> 00:25:27,240 Speaker 1: at this point. But a couple of other but a 538 00:25:27,280 --> 00:25:29,479 Speaker 1: couple of other quarterbacks too they could have had. And 539 00:25:29,560 --> 00:25:32,040 Speaker 1: so do you go into next season there in the 540 00:25:32,119 --> 00:25:34,520 Speaker 1: quarterback market. I think they have to be. They have to, 541 00:25:34,560 --> 00:25:37,399 Speaker 1: whether it's free agency or the draft. You have to 542 00:25:37,440 --> 00:25:39,960 Speaker 1: be adding and offers nothing. So it's got to be 543 00:25:39,960 --> 00:25:43,480 Speaker 1: the draft that's fair. And what about the Giants? It 544 00:25:43,560 --> 00:25:46,480 Speaker 1: was Tom coffin back, yes, and no Mark greg Yes. 545 00:25:46,680 --> 00:25:50,520 Speaker 1: I expect that. Ian Rabbitport reported it was looking that way. 546 00:25:50,920 --> 00:25:54,240 Speaker 1: They had five dred yards of offense again this week, uh, 547 00:25:54,280 --> 00:25:56,840 Speaker 1: this time against Philly. Last week it was against the Rams. 548 00:25:56,880 --> 00:25:59,000 Speaker 1: The offense was humming at the end of the season. 549 00:25:59,040 --> 00:26:01,639 Speaker 1: They weren't efficient in this game, so they ended up losing. 550 00:26:02,200 --> 00:26:04,440 Speaker 1: But I think you gotta stick with what's working. You 551 00:26:04,440 --> 00:26:06,320 Speaker 1: don't want Eli had to start all over. I think 552 00:26:06,400 --> 00:26:08,239 Speaker 1: confident will be they'll probably get it. Maybe a new 553 00:26:08,240 --> 00:26:10,360 Speaker 1: defensive coordinator, get rid of Perry Fuel. By the way, 554 00:26:10,359 --> 00:26:13,639 Speaker 1: this offense was very good this year. Uh you know, 555 00:26:13,800 --> 00:26:17,280 Speaker 1: with Eli Manning having the best statistical season perhaps of 556 00:26:17,320 --> 00:26:19,600 Speaker 1: his career. And next year you get Victor Cruz back. 557 00:26:19,600 --> 00:26:22,159 Speaker 1: Hopefully he comes back like Victor Cruz of old and 558 00:26:22,160 --> 00:26:24,639 Speaker 1: you've got uh, you know, Odell Beckham was I think 559 00:26:25,760 --> 00:26:28,440 Speaker 1: in a touch today, if I'm Ben, it's insane the 560 00:26:28,520 --> 00:26:32,119 Speaker 1: run Beckham's. If I'm Ben McAdoo, I buy Odell Beckham 561 00:26:32,200 --> 00:26:34,960 Speaker 1: like a horse drawn carriage that leads to a brick 562 00:26:35,119 --> 00:26:37,680 Speaker 1: in mortar mansion somewhere in upstate New York that he 563 00:26:37,720 --> 00:26:39,760 Speaker 1: could just spend his offseason and he saved his job. 564 00:26:41,000 --> 00:26:44,919 Speaker 1: I like that, alright. So the you know, the Johnson Eagles, 565 00:26:44,960 --> 00:26:46,840 Speaker 1: they're sad teams, but no one's sadder than the Tampa 566 00:26:46,880 --> 00:26:49,880 Speaker 1: Bay Buccaneers, who blew a fourteen points second half lead 567 00:26:50,160 --> 00:26:53,800 Speaker 1: lost the New Orleans Saints. The Bucks do get a 568 00:26:53,880 --> 00:26:56,160 Speaker 1: nice consolation prize, however, in the form of the number 569 00:26:56,200 --> 00:27:01,160 Speaker 1: one overall pick in the two thousand fifteen NFL draft. Uh. Gentleman, 570 00:27:01,320 --> 00:27:03,000 Speaker 1: we have to assume that topic will be spent on 571 00:27:03,040 --> 00:27:06,119 Speaker 1: a quarterback, right Josh McCown and Mike Glenn and the 572 00:27:06,240 --> 00:27:09,160 Speaker 1: NFL's worst dancer. They it comes down to if there's 573 00:27:09,160 --> 00:27:12,000 Speaker 1: a quarterback that people really all we're hearing and we 574 00:27:12,160 --> 00:27:14,040 Speaker 1: don't know anything about the college players for the most part, 575 00:27:14,800 --> 00:27:17,359 Speaker 1: speak yourself, well, Dan, you last watched the college game 576 00:27:17,400 --> 00:27:22,639 Speaker 1: in Honestly, like, I'm not sure there is a number 577 00:27:22,720 --> 00:27:24,800 Speaker 1: one pick quarterback now. We don't know anything now. And 578 00:27:24,840 --> 00:27:27,399 Speaker 1: it's not just us. I mean Daniel Jeremiah, as much 579 00:27:27,440 --> 00:27:29,240 Speaker 1: as he knows, doesn't know who the number one pick is. 580 00:27:29,280 --> 00:27:32,920 Speaker 1: We're not even sure who in this very studio that 581 00:27:33,000 --> 00:27:36,440 Speaker 1: everyone is excited about Marcus Mariota being the god. Maybe 582 00:27:36,520 --> 00:27:38,280 Speaker 1: he's not a guy that you should necessarily count as 583 00:27:38,320 --> 00:27:39,960 Speaker 1: being a real NFL player. But what a way to 584 00:27:40,040 --> 00:27:43,400 Speaker 1: lose this game. It was a what was it? Sixteen? 585 00:27:43,480 --> 00:27:46,240 Speaker 1: Nothing in the quarter? It's the one person that watched 586 00:27:46,320 --> 00:27:48,320 Speaker 1: this game. No, I didn't. I didn't watch it. Dan 587 00:27:48,400 --> 00:27:50,720 Speaker 1: actually did. But I'm just saying they were up two 588 00:27:50,840 --> 00:27:52,840 Speaker 1: scorers going into the fourth quarter and they were gonna 589 00:27:52,880 --> 00:27:55,160 Speaker 1: lose that number one pick to Tennessee. Who knows who 590 00:27:55,200 --> 00:27:57,440 Speaker 1: that one pick will be, but maybe that'll change the 591 00:27:57,520 --> 00:28:00,160 Speaker 1: fortunes of the Bucks. The fact that Josh mc down 592 00:28:00,160 --> 00:28:02,320 Speaker 1: couldn't get it done against this lousy Saints and Josh 593 00:28:02,400 --> 00:28:05,119 Speaker 1: account stinks. I don't care what anybody says on the 594 00:28:05,200 --> 00:28:07,480 Speaker 1: other side of the ball. I'm curious, you know. I 595 00:28:07,560 --> 00:28:09,040 Speaker 1: feel like that was a shot at West, but he's 596 00:28:09,080 --> 00:28:10,960 Speaker 1: not here. I don't want no, I don't want to 597 00:28:11,280 --> 00:28:13,159 Speaker 1: take shots at West, but I just never bought it 598 00:28:13,240 --> 00:28:15,800 Speaker 1: on account. But I will say that the Saints shut 599 00:28:15,840 --> 00:28:17,280 Speaker 1: out the Bucks on the second half. I know, not 600 00:28:17,400 --> 00:28:19,800 Speaker 1: a big, big achievement, but Rob Ryan all pumped up 601 00:28:19,840 --> 00:28:21,560 Speaker 1: on the sidelines at the end of the game. So 602 00:28:21,720 --> 00:28:23,800 Speaker 1: maybe that's where you can make a case a keep 603 00:28:23,840 --> 00:28:25,600 Speaker 1: me for a third year. Do you think rob Bryan 604 00:28:25,680 --> 00:28:28,680 Speaker 1: gets a shot to again, uh, you know, revitalize his 605 00:28:28,760 --> 00:28:31,680 Speaker 1: career after a terrible sophomore season in New Orleans. I do. 606 00:28:32,080 --> 00:28:34,440 Speaker 1: I think he'll be back. You know, Kenny Vacaro, who 607 00:28:34,520 --> 00:28:36,680 Speaker 1: might not be the greatest source in the world, which 608 00:28:36,760 --> 00:28:39,200 Speaker 1: is weird, said Rob Ryan will be back last week. 609 00:28:39,880 --> 00:28:41,960 Speaker 1: I do. I think Sean Payton and him get along 610 00:28:42,040 --> 00:28:43,840 Speaker 1: and they want to turn it around. But this is 611 00:28:43,880 --> 00:28:45,640 Speaker 1: a team we we've mentioned here to just kind of 612 00:28:45,720 --> 00:28:46,880 Speaker 1: keep an eye on. I don't know if do you 613 00:28:46,960 --> 00:28:49,560 Speaker 1: think they get along? I think so. I think. I 614 00:28:49,600 --> 00:28:51,560 Speaker 1: mean they yell at each other on the sidelines, but 615 00:28:51,600 --> 00:28:53,320 Speaker 1: I think there's a lot of respect there. I think 616 00:28:53,680 --> 00:28:56,560 Speaker 1: compared to Spagnolo for instance, who was there, and some 617 00:28:56,640 --> 00:29:00,400 Speaker 1: other defensive coordinators, you know, fighting who becomes of available. 618 00:29:00,440 --> 00:29:02,920 Speaker 1: Because the bottom line whether or not you you buy 619 00:29:02,960 --> 00:29:06,880 Speaker 1: into Rob Bryant, like statistically his defenses have never really 620 00:29:06,960 --> 00:29:10,120 Speaker 1: been good outside of two seasons. It does feel a 621 00:29:10,160 --> 00:29:13,120 Speaker 1: little odd though that after such a disappointing season, and 622 00:29:13,200 --> 00:29:15,520 Speaker 1: this is this is a dread, there's a Super Bowl contender. 623 00:29:15,520 --> 00:29:17,800 Speaker 1: A lot of people thought that now there would be 624 00:29:17,880 --> 00:29:20,120 Speaker 1: no changes after season. This is bad for the same thing. 625 00:29:20,240 --> 00:29:22,240 Speaker 1: Usually it's a coordinator that's to bite the dust, to 626 00:29:22,320 --> 00:29:24,200 Speaker 1: pay to pay the price. Right, that's a good point. 627 00:29:24,320 --> 00:29:29,320 Speaker 1: Something could happen, maybe them the Denver Let's move to 628 00:29:29,360 --> 00:29:31,600 Speaker 1: the a f C. The Denver Broncos locked up the 629 00:29:31,720 --> 00:29:34,400 Speaker 1: number two seed in the conference with a forty seven 630 00:29:34,680 --> 00:29:38,440 Speaker 1: fourteen pasting of the Oakland Raiders. Mark Sessler Peyton Manning 631 00:29:38,440 --> 00:29:41,040 Speaker 1: didn't throw a touchdown past in this game. But forty 632 00:29:41,080 --> 00:29:43,640 Speaker 1: seven points tells us there should be no panic about 633 00:29:43,720 --> 00:29:45,680 Speaker 1: this offense. As we had to January. He didn't need to. 634 00:29:45,800 --> 00:29:47,880 Speaker 1: He didn't need to have one of those games where he's, 635 00:29:47,960 --> 00:29:50,480 Speaker 1: you know, ripping the defense through the air. I mean 636 00:29:50,520 --> 00:29:52,760 Speaker 1: he he threw for two hundred and seventy three yards. 637 00:29:53,280 --> 00:29:55,680 Speaker 1: He looked sharper obviously than he did to me on 638 00:29:55,800 --> 00:29:59,000 Speaker 1: Monday night. This was the conditions were different. This was 639 00:29:59,120 --> 00:30:01,880 Speaker 1: his kind of game. Land's defense. You know, Khalil mac 640 00:30:02,040 --> 00:30:03,760 Speaker 1: was not healthy. I think he's been dealing with that 641 00:30:03,840 --> 00:30:07,720 Speaker 1: hamstring and it really came down to Denver just getting 642 00:30:07,800 --> 00:30:09,600 Speaker 1: early lead and just nursing it. I mean, this is 643 00:30:09,760 --> 00:30:11,000 Speaker 1: this is the Oakland Raiders. What do you want me 644 00:30:11,040 --> 00:30:14,240 Speaker 1: to tell you? By the way, too many although Tony's 645 00:30:14,280 --> 00:30:18,080 Speaker 1: Bruno buried the balls, UH some nice wins in the 646 00:30:18,160 --> 00:30:20,000 Speaker 1: back half of the season or the in the twelve 647 00:30:20,040 --> 00:30:22,160 Speaker 1: games and coach, but too many of these losses I 648 00:30:22,160 --> 00:30:24,160 Speaker 1: would think for him to be considered on any level 649 00:30:24,480 --> 00:30:27,560 Speaker 1: to uh to get the interim tag removed. This was 650 00:30:27,600 --> 00:30:31,160 Speaker 1: probably his last coaching hurrah in Oakland. That was something 651 00:30:31,240 --> 00:30:33,680 Speaker 1: that that I thought to watching this game because there's 652 00:30:33,720 --> 00:30:37,120 Speaker 1: been with their offense especially you've got a game like 653 00:30:37,280 --> 00:30:40,560 Speaker 1: last week where Car and the whole thing, the attack 654 00:30:40,680 --> 00:30:43,120 Speaker 1: looks good, and then you think there's there's promise. But 655 00:30:43,200 --> 00:30:45,120 Speaker 1: then the next week they go out and they had 656 00:30:45,240 --> 00:30:47,640 Speaker 1: something like the six of their like six of the 657 00:30:47,720 --> 00:30:51,040 Speaker 1: first eight drives had a negative yardage. I mean, it's 658 00:30:51,080 --> 00:30:53,480 Speaker 1: like they completely melt down when they deal with the 659 00:30:53,560 --> 00:30:55,920 Speaker 1: better teams. So they've got to get someone in there 660 00:30:55,960 --> 00:30:58,560 Speaker 1: that can get more talent, protect Car better, and just 661 00:30:58,720 --> 00:31:00,960 Speaker 1: build that team around him like Car too. But I 662 00:31:01,000 --> 00:31:03,440 Speaker 1: don't think that's happening when we all expected. It would 663 00:31:03,440 --> 00:31:05,440 Speaker 1: have been a stunner if the Broncos and my loss, 664 00:31:05,520 --> 00:31:07,280 Speaker 1: but it is big for them because they're banged up 665 00:31:07,280 --> 00:31:09,760 Speaker 1: at linebacker and other positions. To get healthy. Get that 666 00:31:09,880 --> 00:31:12,840 Speaker 1: by get a home game in the divisional round, hope 667 00:31:12,880 --> 00:31:15,520 Speaker 1: that the Patriots lose and who knows, and then you 668 00:31:15,560 --> 00:31:17,840 Speaker 1: could get a home game. Most likely they're more likely 669 00:31:17,920 --> 00:31:20,080 Speaker 1: to go to Foxborough for the a f C Championship. 670 00:31:20,240 --> 00:31:22,120 Speaker 1: They do. Get Ronnie Hillman back here today at least 671 00:31:22,120 --> 00:31:24,440 Speaker 1: getting a lot of carries wouldn't surprise me if he's 672 00:31:24,480 --> 00:31:26,520 Speaker 1: a big factor in the playoffs. And how about the 673 00:31:26,600 --> 00:31:29,560 Speaker 1: Marius Thomas that like him going over six yards this year, 674 00:31:29,720 --> 00:31:34,080 Speaker 1: franchise record big. By the way, I still resent anybody 675 00:31:34,240 --> 00:31:36,600 Speaker 1: that picked up C. J. Anderson on waivers and Fantasy 676 00:31:36,720 --> 00:31:41,720 Speaker 1: nine touchdowns and three today, you're all garbage. That seems harsh. 677 00:31:41,840 --> 00:31:45,680 Speaker 1: Let's move on. The Baltimore Ravens locked up the sixth 678 00:31:45,720 --> 00:31:49,040 Speaker 1: seed in the a f C Playoffs with over the 679 00:31:49,240 --> 00:31:53,160 Speaker 1: skidding Cleveland Browns. Mark Joe Flacco in the Ravens offensive 680 00:31:53,160 --> 00:31:55,800 Speaker 1: struggled in December. Do we believe the light will turn 681 00:31:55,840 --> 00:31:58,320 Speaker 1: on in January? We know what happened last time Joe 682 00:31:58,400 --> 00:32:01,360 Speaker 1: Flacco played in the playoffs. It's weird because I don't 683 00:32:01,400 --> 00:32:04,080 Speaker 1: see one thing about Baltimore that tells me why they 684 00:32:04,120 --> 00:32:07,400 Speaker 1: have completely fallen apart on offense the last few Today 685 00:32:07,480 --> 00:32:08,880 Speaker 1: today it looks like you look at the score and 686 00:32:08,960 --> 00:32:11,600 Speaker 1: you look at the fourth quarter and maybe they bounced back, 687 00:32:11,680 --> 00:32:13,720 Speaker 1: but you're right, and left tackle are injured and they're 688 00:32:13,720 --> 00:32:16,520 Speaker 1: not playing. I think that's one thing that really today. 689 00:32:16,880 --> 00:32:19,680 Speaker 1: Cleveland put a lot of pressure on Flacco, and I 690 00:32:19,760 --> 00:32:22,040 Speaker 1: think that seven of the first eight drives into a 691 00:32:22,120 --> 00:32:24,440 Speaker 1: punt or one of them was they went forward on 692 00:32:24,520 --> 00:32:26,200 Speaker 1: fourth down in the red zone and didn't get it. 693 00:32:26,640 --> 00:32:30,800 Speaker 1: So Cleveland did a very nice job defensively secondary shutdown 694 00:32:30,880 --> 00:32:33,640 Speaker 1: Baltimore's receivers. Then Flacco. You know, they just got hot 695 00:32:33,760 --> 00:32:35,880 Speaker 1: at the end. They got hot and they and they 696 00:32:35,880 --> 00:32:38,720 Speaker 1: started to make some big plays down the stretch. But really, 697 00:32:38,920 --> 00:32:41,200 Speaker 1: I I would be concerned about the Ravens in general. 698 00:32:41,240 --> 00:32:42,760 Speaker 1: I don't think I think they're one and done in 699 00:32:42,800 --> 00:32:46,800 Speaker 1: the playoffs. I mean, they got blasted by Houston. That 700 00:32:47,080 --> 00:32:49,720 Speaker 1: was a blood bath. How dominant the defense of the 701 00:32:49,800 --> 00:32:53,040 Speaker 1: Texans was in a big game for Baltimore last week. 702 00:32:53,040 --> 00:32:55,240 Speaker 1: They don't have the two tackles and they're losing ten 703 00:32:55,400 --> 00:32:57,840 Speaker 1: six midway through the fourth quarter to Connor Shop. You 704 00:32:57,880 --> 00:32:59,480 Speaker 1: gotta give him credit for winning the game that you 705 00:32:59,520 --> 00:33:03,240 Speaker 1: gotta win. But this is a run based offense, number one. 706 00:33:03,280 --> 00:33:04,440 Speaker 1: I mean, I think that's what they want to be 707 00:33:04,600 --> 00:33:06,400 Speaker 1: and they can't do They haven't been able to do that. 708 00:33:06,480 --> 00:33:09,040 Speaker 1: When you've got your left and right tackle on the game. 709 00:33:09,080 --> 00:33:11,560 Speaker 1: I know, people don't you know what's so what's happened 710 00:33:11,600 --> 00:33:12,880 Speaker 1: to the wide receiver in the right So well, no, 711 00:33:13,280 --> 00:33:17,719 Speaker 1: they fundamentally have like two far vastly less interesting players 712 00:33:17,760 --> 00:33:19,800 Speaker 1: in there at those positions. They do get back, Uh, 713 00:33:20,040 --> 00:33:21,880 Speaker 1: what I think was a first team O Pro this 714 00:33:22,000 --> 00:33:24,520 Speaker 1: year in Helodi Nada for the playoffs. So that's a 715 00:33:24,640 --> 00:33:27,200 Speaker 1: nice little it's a nice little addition to the team. 716 00:33:27,400 --> 00:33:29,320 Speaker 1: You know, you got one of your best players. Defense 717 00:33:29,360 --> 00:33:31,880 Speaker 1: hasn't been their problem though, at least not today. Damask 718 00:33:31,960 --> 00:33:34,960 Speaker 1: floated Nada as a Jenga piece his theory that every 719 00:33:35,000 --> 00:33:37,800 Speaker 1: team has a player that they cannot live without. They 720 00:33:37,840 --> 00:33:39,480 Speaker 1: have not been the same team with him out of 721 00:33:39,520 --> 00:33:41,560 Speaker 1: the out of the lineup. But maybe that's not the 722 00:33:41,640 --> 00:33:44,320 Speaker 1: main reason. Mark. Let's talk about the Browns a little bit, 723 00:33:44,360 --> 00:33:46,520 Speaker 1: because let's not and I know, I know, I said this, 724 00:33:46,600 --> 00:33:50,479 Speaker 1: I said this downstairs that they're sitting at seven and four. Uh, 725 00:33:50,640 --> 00:33:53,120 Speaker 1: And it seemed like, no matter what would happen, even 726 00:33:53,120 --> 00:33:54,760 Speaker 1: if they didn't make the playoffs, this would be seen 727 00:33:54,760 --> 00:33:56,920 Speaker 1: as a season of growth for the organization, and perhaps 728 00:33:57,000 --> 00:34:00,160 Speaker 1: it is in terms of stability at up top. But 729 00:34:00,240 --> 00:34:01,960 Speaker 1: at the same time, it could not have ended worse 730 00:34:02,040 --> 00:34:05,240 Speaker 1: with the five game losing streak. Manzell goes gets in 731 00:34:05,440 --> 00:34:07,920 Speaker 1: plays terribly, then gets hurt, then he has some more 732 00:34:08,000 --> 00:34:12,160 Speaker 1: off the field issues missing. Uh what was it a 733 00:34:12,320 --> 00:34:15,960 Speaker 1: some type of treatment session and got a five house 734 00:34:16,000 --> 00:34:18,440 Speaker 1: party basically and then had a house party that apparently 735 00:34:18,520 --> 00:34:20,359 Speaker 1: Josh Gordon maybe went to and that led to him 736 00:34:20,560 --> 00:34:23,120 Speaker 1: missing a walk through and got him suspended. Justin Gilbert 737 00:34:23,200 --> 00:34:24,920 Speaker 1: is hated by every player on the roster. He's a 738 00:34:24,960 --> 00:34:27,920 Speaker 1: first round pick. So I mean, the what's it transpired 739 00:34:27,960 --> 00:34:30,120 Speaker 1: over the last five weeks is an absolute nightmare. That 740 00:34:30,200 --> 00:34:33,120 Speaker 1: really puts into puts into concern what this franchise is 741 00:34:33,160 --> 00:34:39,480 Speaker 1: gonna do in the offseason. That's that was again predictable. 742 00:34:39,480 --> 00:34:41,440 Speaker 1: If you had had a house party dropped somehow in 743 00:34:41,520 --> 00:34:43,799 Speaker 1: their little kid in play action, that would have been 744 00:34:43,920 --> 00:34:47,000 Speaker 1: something the way to be prepared TV. I know you're 745 00:34:47,040 --> 00:34:48,839 Speaker 1: going that route, but I did think about that though. 746 00:34:48,960 --> 00:34:51,080 Speaker 1: That was weird in the house party three, by the way, 747 00:34:51,760 --> 00:34:54,800 Speaker 1: when out of nowhere a kid who was only famous 748 00:34:54,880 --> 00:34:57,200 Speaker 1: for his big high top showed up with dreads or 749 00:34:57,280 --> 00:34:59,080 Speaker 1: he got dreads as part of them. I thinking of 750 00:34:59,120 --> 00:35:03,840 Speaker 1: a Class Act Act actually a pivotal moment. Your knowledge 751 00:35:03,880 --> 00:35:06,359 Speaker 1: of it, Your knowledge is much more than I anticipated. 752 00:35:06,600 --> 00:35:10,239 Speaker 1: Class Act is a terrible movie. But anyway, what were 753 00:35:10,320 --> 00:35:12,360 Speaker 1: we talking about? The Browns. They're an embarrassment. I just 754 00:35:12,440 --> 00:35:14,600 Speaker 1: look at It's so weird because I'll never forget. I 755 00:35:14,640 --> 00:35:18,160 Speaker 1: went over to watch that that lashing of the Bengals 756 00:35:18,280 --> 00:35:20,200 Speaker 1: when they went six and three. After that and sat 757 00:35:20,239 --> 00:35:22,320 Speaker 1: alone atop the a f C. North, I thought the 758 00:35:22,400 --> 00:35:25,360 Speaker 1: same thing. At worst they go nine and seven and 759 00:35:25,640 --> 00:35:27,759 Speaker 1: there's a lot of, you know, reasons for hope, and 760 00:35:27,800 --> 00:35:31,040 Speaker 1: they maybe even have two quarterbacks, not one. And now 761 00:35:31,120 --> 00:35:34,719 Speaker 1: you find out basically after this week they had the 762 00:35:34,840 --> 00:35:37,799 Speaker 1: same questions they did last offseason, which is, what's up 763 00:35:37,840 --> 00:35:40,279 Speaker 1: with Josh Gordon in the future of our team? Do 764 00:35:40,440 --> 00:35:42,680 Speaker 1: we have anything at quarterback? Do we need to start 765 00:35:42,760 --> 00:35:46,120 Speaker 1: over there? You know, there's basically what's the situation with 766 00:35:46,200 --> 00:35:48,279 Speaker 1: our front office? Can they pick players? There's so much 767 00:35:48,320 --> 00:35:50,800 Speaker 1: they're they're gonna keep petting and they're gonna keep Ray Farmer. 768 00:35:51,040 --> 00:35:53,840 Speaker 1: That's you know, you have a coach and a coordinator 769 00:35:53,920 --> 00:35:56,640 Speaker 1: that you like, an offensive coordinator, that's those are two 770 00:35:56,640 --> 00:35:59,160 Speaker 1: big things. A lot of people I understand the circus 771 00:35:59,280 --> 00:36:01,400 Speaker 1: route with Cleveland that all these players are going crazy. 772 00:36:01,520 --> 00:36:04,759 Speaker 1: And the thing is, anyone that's been watching Cleveland since 773 00:36:05,920 --> 00:36:09,120 Speaker 1: that's not unusual. This has been happening a lot, but 774 00:36:09,280 --> 00:36:11,759 Speaker 1: none of those players have been held accountable. Isn't that 775 00:36:11,920 --> 00:36:15,400 Speaker 1: the biggest disappointment though that we're even talking about this 776 00:36:15,520 --> 00:36:18,120 Speaker 1: after we did. But I like Petton at least saying, 777 00:36:18,200 --> 00:36:21,560 Speaker 1: you know what, if you're not going to respect your 778 00:36:21,600 --> 00:36:23,840 Speaker 1: teammates and be all in for your team, you're not 779 00:36:23,920 --> 00:36:26,120 Speaker 1: gonna play and and and you know, and some can say, 780 00:36:26,239 --> 00:36:28,840 Speaker 1: is Petton's culture one of the reasons this is happening. 781 00:36:29,000 --> 00:36:31,359 Speaker 1: I don't know Hasn'll find out, hasn't made some strong 782 00:36:31,480 --> 00:36:34,480 Speaker 1: statements saying, doesn't matter what round you were drafted, you know, 783 00:36:34,560 --> 00:36:36,920 Speaker 1: we'll get rid of guys. Essentially, I'm paraphrasing, you know, 784 00:36:36,960 --> 00:36:38,840 Speaker 1: if they don't turn around. I mean, the problem is 785 00:36:38,880 --> 00:36:42,759 Speaker 1: Gilbert and Manzel are too prominent guys featured here. They're 786 00:36:42,760 --> 00:36:45,759 Speaker 1: the first round picks. Manzel's supposedly the future quarterback, and 787 00:36:45,880 --> 00:36:47,640 Speaker 1: Josh Gordon is the best player on the team other 788 00:36:47,719 --> 00:36:51,200 Speaker 1: than Joe Thomas, and he's he was suspended for the game, 789 00:36:51,719 --> 00:36:53,319 Speaker 1: so I don't even know if he's gonna be back 790 00:36:53,320 --> 00:36:55,400 Speaker 1: on the team. I sort of expect that they're just 791 00:36:55,440 --> 00:36:57,520 Speaker 1: gonna give up on Joshua. One last thing. You can't 792 00:36:57,560 --> 00:36:59,680 Speaker 1: just give up on Josh Gordon. Have him wind up 793 00:36:59,719 --> 00:37:06,319 Speaker 1: on the Bengals next season though, or something. I mean you, uh, 794 00:37:06,760 --> 00:37:09,000 Speaker 1: you just can't control and he's not he's not helping 795 00:37:09,040 --> 00:37:12,000 Speaker 1: the team. You've said it yourself, Mark, This offense was fine. 796 00:37:12,080 --> 00:37:15,240 Speaker 1: They weren't like Gangbusters, but they were fine until Gordon 797 00:37:15,320 --> 00:37:18,399 Speaker 1: showed up, which is ironic, and they went in the tank. Yeah, 798 00:37:18,400 --> 00:37:20,439 Speaker 1: and they also made a quarterback switch to someone that's 799 00:37:20,440 --> 00:37:22,239 Speaker 1: not prepared to play the Well, you said you thought 800 00:37:22,280 --> 00:37:24,719 Speaker 1: Connor Shaw looked better than Johnny Man. I didn't think 801 00:37:24,719 --> 00:37:26,239 Speaker 1: anyone to watch the game would say. I mean it 802 00:37:26,320 --> 00:37:29,640 Speaker 1: was he was serviceable, He looked comfortable, he looked prepared. 803 00:37:29,719 --> 00:37:31,719 Speaker 1: I thought the worst first round of the last ten 804 00:37:31,840 --> 00:37:34,720 Speaker 1: years was the Browns in two thousand twelve with Whedon 805 00:37:34,760 --> 00:37:40,279 Speaker 1: and Richardson. They might have doubled down early, but it 806 00:37:40,440 --> 00:37:42,440 Speaker 1: is early. But I would say that after one year. 807 00:37:43,760 --> 00:37:45,680 Speaker 1: After one year when it was Whedon and Richardson, there 808 00:37:45,760 --> 00:37:47,480 Speaker 1: was a lot of reason to think that Richardson was 809 00:37:47,520 --> 00:37:50,680 Speaker 1: a very promising player. You can't look at Gilbert right now. 810 00:37:50,840 --> 00:37:54,680 Speaker 1: Major figures on this Browns team went after justin Gilbert 811 00:37:54,680 --> 00:37:56,880 Speaker 1: in the press, which only lets you know that something 812 00:37:56,960 --> 00:37:58,680 Speaker 1: bad is going on behind the scenes with that guy. 813 00:37:59,040 --> 00:38:01,320 Speaker 1: Man Zell seems like a train wreck. So we believe 814 00:38:01,400 --> 00:38:03,560 Speaker 1: in wake up halls for in these situations, and that 815 00:38:03,640 --> 00:38:06,359 Speaker 1: doesn't often. I give Gilbert a better chance just because 816 00:38:06,400 --> 00:38:09,959 Speaker 1: he plays cornerback than Manzel, but either way, it's not good. 817 00:38:10,400 --> 00:38:14,440 Speaker 1: All right, let's move on. Justin Houston recorded four sacks, 818 00:38:14,480 --> 00:38:18,040 Speaker 1: following one half sacks short of the sham NFL record 819 00:38:18,080 --> 00:38:21,160 Speaker 1: held by Michael stra straighthand leaving the Chief's hot take 820 00:38:21,719 --> 00:38:24,920 Speaker 1: scorching pack to a nineteen seven win over the Chargers. 821 00:38:25,160 --> 00:38:27,160 Speaker 1: It was a winning in scenario for the team of 822 00:38:27,239 --> 00:38:29,920 Speaker 1: around the NFL, but Greg, the Chargers just had too 823 00:38:29,960 --> 00:38:32,680 Speaker 1: many injuries to pull off another unlikely wind. Well, let's 824 00:38:32,680 --> 00:38:34,400 Speaker 1: stop calling them the team of a t L. We 825 00:38:34,600 --> 00:38:37,480 Speaker 1: we chose them, and they were official, but they were 826 00:38:37,520 --> 00:38:40,120 Speaker 1: never in our hearts. We picked totally against them. Against 827 00:38:40,160 --> 00:38:43,640 Speaker 1: San Francisco, I thought Philip Rivers had an amazing singular 828 00:38:43,719 --> 00:38:47,480 Speaker 1: performance to come back in that game. But what the 829 00:38:47,560 --> 00:38:49,439 Speaker 1: team showed up today is the team that they were 830 00:38:49,719 --> 00:38:52,480 Speaker 1: a mediocre team that had no one on offense, that 831 00:38:52,600 --> 00:38:59,480 Speaker 1: was gonna die in the playoffs. Super Sunday A super 832 00:39:04,160 --> 00:39:07,440 Speaker 1: sorry to talk over you. Well, I'm having a hard 833 00:39:07,480 --> 00:39:10,320 Speaker 1: time collecting myself. I'm sure the listeners are feeling the 834 00:39:10,400 --> 00:39:13,080 Speaker 1: same way after that kind of you never were on 835 00:39:13,200 --> 00:39:15,839 Speaker 1: board with this team to begin with. Greg I liked him, 836 00:39:16,120 --> 00:39:18,000 Speaker 1: I liked them early in the year, but it just 837 00:39:18,360 --> 00:39:20,439 Speaker 1: I thought it became clear that they were a team 838 00:39:20,480 --> 00:39:23,000 Speaker 1: on defense that was just didn't really have an identity, 839 00:39:23,120 --> 00:39:26,320 Speaker 1: not a good enough pass rush. Kansas City, They're not 840 00:39:26,440 --> 00:39:28,080 Speaker 1: that good, but at least you knew what they were here. 841 00:39:28,160 --> 00:39:30,680 Speaker 1: I mean Justin Houston, Tom Boie. They were getting after 842 00:39:30,800 --> 00:39:33,520 Speaker 1: Philip Rivers today. That was the difference, and it shouldn't 843 00:39:33,520 --> 00:39:35,640 Speaker 1: have been nineteen seven. I thought Andy Reid coached the 844 00:39:35,840 --> 00:39:38,520 Speaker 1: terrible game. If he didn't let Chase Daniel throw so 845 00:39:38,760 --> 00:39:41,360 Speaker 1: much in key situations, especially in the red zone, I 846 00:39:41,400 --> 00:39:43,080 Speaker 1: think it would have been a blowout because they looked 847 00:39:43,120 --> 00:39:45,040 Speaker 1: far better. And if J. J. Watt didn't have a 848 00:39:45,280 --> 00:39:49,840 Speaker 1: transformative season and was just blowing everyone away and placing 849 00:39:49,920 --> 00:39:52,840 Speaker 1: himself among the legends. Justin Houston's a defensive Player of 850 00:39:52,840 --> 00:39:54,759 Speaker 1: the Year, but he just Houston bad time to have 851 00:39:55,120 --> 00:39:57,719 Speaker 1: such a magical it's weird. It's like going completely under 852 00:39:57,800 --> 00:40:00,440 Speaker 1: the radar what he's done. From a sack count perspective. 853 00:40:00,480 --> 00:40:02,560 Speaker 1: In any other season, it would have been something good. 854 00:40:03,000 --> 00:40:04,919 Speaker 1: Every week. That's a good point. He had about five 855 00:40:05,000 --> 00:40:06,319 Speaker 1: plays at the end of the game where he could 856 00:40:06,360 --> 00:40:08,080 Speaker 1: have tried to where he could have broken the record. 857 00:40:08,160 --> 00:40:10,520 Speaker 1: One of him he got close to Rivers, and West 858 00:40:10,560 --> 00:40:13,480 Speaker 1: has pointed out often that Houston's really good at run 859 00:40:13,560 --> 00:40:15,640 Speaker 1: defense too, so he's one of the best defensive players 860 00:40:15,640 --> 00:40:17,719 Speaker 1: in the league. At least they have something there to 861 00:40:17,840 --> 00:40:20,040 Speaker 1: build off of. It felt like they maxed out of 862 00:40:20,120 --> 00:40:22,200 Speaker 1: their talent, though, which is not good. When you go 863 00:40:22,320 --> 00:40:23,880 Speaker 1: nine and seven. It's like, I don't think this Chief's 864 00:40:23,880 --> 00:40:25,600 Speaker 1: team could have done any better than this. If I'm 865 00:40:25,640 --> 00:40:28,200 Speaker 1: a Chiefs fan, I just I want to see something 866 00:40:28,280 --> 00:40:30,480 Speaker 1: different on offense next season. I'm not saying blow up 867 00:40:30,520 --> 00:40:33,680 Speaker 1: the machine, but you cannot. You cannot expect to go 868 00:40:33,840 --> 00:40:36,640 Speaker 1: back to the playoffs with a scenario where you don't 869 00:40:36,680 --> 00:40:39,759 Speaker 1: throw a touchdown to a wide receiver all season. This 870 00:40:39,960 --> 00:40:43,279 Speaker 1: is not Pop Warner. That is absolute outrage. I think 871 00:40:43,320 --> 00:40:50,080 Speaker 1: Albert Wilson's okay, they bow came happy yard short, fumbled, 872 00:40:50,320 --> 00:40:55,160 Speaker 1: and Kelsey it's almost like he tried to do it 873 00:40:55,200 --> 00:40:58,000 Speaker 1: there by the way, I remember I made a somewhat 874 00:40:58,200 --> 00:41:01,200 Speaker 1: you know, joking making the leap for Chase Daniel that 875 00:41:01,440 --> 00:41:04,000 Speaker 1: last seas. Oh yeah, well he did it one year later. 876 00:41:04,080 --> 00:41:10,520 Speaker 1: Her victory the key victory here today. That's pretty bad though, 877 00:41:10,560 --> 00:41:14,200 Speaker 1: when a little grim for the Chiefs, when there's Alex 878 00:41:14,239 --> 00:41:16,480 Speaker 1: Smith goes out with a lacerated spleen and then Chase 879 00:41:16,600 --> 00:41:18,600 Speaker 1: Daniels comes in and you don't miss a beat. I 880 00:41:18,640 --> 00:41:20,680 Speaker 1: don't think there was a huge downgrade with the way 881 00:41:20,760 --> 00:41:22,800 Speaker 1: that he's used to. There were some quotes before the 882 00:41:22,840 --> 00:41:24,799 Speaker 1: game from the Charges They're like, we don't think it's 883 00:41:24,800 --> 00:41:27,120 Speaker 1: that big a difference between Daniel and Smith, and I 884 00:41:27,239 --> 00:41:29,800 Speaker 1: think that's somewhat true. I mean, Smith is better, I 885 00:41:29,880 --> 00:41:31,880 Speaker 1: think over time, but it's not what didn't look like 886 00:41:31,920 --> 00:41:34,120 Speaker 1: that big a difference for someone with the last name 887 00:41:34,239 --> 00:41:38,080 Speaker 1: Daniel Dan It's it's tastes Daniel, not Daniels. We really 888 00:41:38,160 --> 00:41:40,160 Speaker 1: dislike it when people add an s on the back end. 889 00:41:40,320 --> 00:41:42,399 Speaker 1: Hey listen, I am, and do you dislike it? Who's 890 00:41:42,440 --> 00:41:46,520 Speaker 1: we imlogged in the well? That would make if I 891 00:41:46,800 --> 00:41:48,239 Speaker 1: if I did that, that was an error. But you 892 00:41:48,320 --> 00:41:50,759 Speaker 1: don't say I'm an outsider in the Daniel game because 893 00:41:50,760 --> 00:41:53,160 Speaker 1: I'm in your sat Daniel by the way, so you 894 00:41:53,239 --> 00:41:57,680 Speaker 1: know you're looking down on everyone Daniel by the way. Well, 895 00:41:57,840 --> 00:42:00,719 Speaker 1: it still ends. Many said of names do you have? 896 00:42:00,960 --> 00:42:04,640 Speaker 1: Don't worry about it, man, you're mysterious. You name yourself 897 00:42:04,719 --> 00:42:07,480 Speaker 1: after a touchdown, and then you have your last name 898 00:42:07,520 --> 00:42:09,680 Speaker 1: begins with saint. I think we're starting to see some 899 00:42:09,800 --> 00:42:14,040 Speaker 1: sort of unified theme here. The big takeaway TV potential fraud. 900 00:42:15,880 --> 00:42:17,719 Speaker 1: I just don't know where to go with this. All right, 901 00:42:17,760 --> 00:42:20,360 Speaker 1: So the Chargers aren't going into the playoffs. Neither are 902 00:42:20,440 --> 00:42:23,919 Speaker 1: the Houston Texans. However, J J. Watt bolstered his MVP 903 00:42:24,120 --> 00:42:27,040 Speaker 1: argument with three sacks, including a fourth quarter safety that 904 00:42:27,160 --> 00:42:30,560 Speaker 1: helped lifted lift the Texans to a seventeen win over 905 00:42:30,600 --> 00:42:33,920 Speaker 1: the Jaguars. Watt finishes the season with twenty sacks, becoming 906 00:42:34,000 --> 00:42:36,480 Speaker 1: the first player in NFL history to do that twice. 907 00:42:36,560 --> 00:42:39,200 Speaker 1: Since that staff became official on nine two, It's time 908 00:42:39,239 --> 00:42:42,920 Speaker 1: to bring back Chris Westling on the phone, West What 909 00:42:43,120 --> 00:42:45,839 Speaker 1: else does Justin James Watt have to do to win 910 00:42:45,880 --> 00:42:51,840 Speaker 1: an MVP award? Expositions, I know, I know Greg is 911 00:42:52,239 --> 00:42:54,840 Speaker 1: driving this train that JJ Watt for m v P trains, 912 00:42:55,000 --> 00:42:56,800 Speaker 1: and I won't have any problem if he wins it. 913 00:42:56,960 --> 00:42:59,880 Speaker 1: But to me, Aaron Rodgers is the best player in 914 00:42:59,920 --> 00:43:02,239 Speaker 1: the NFL and clearly the most valuable to his team. 915 00:43:02,400 --> 00:43:04,160 Speaker 1: Do you think the Texans would have won today if 916 00:43:04,200 --> 00:43:08,520 Speaker 1: it wasn't for what I didn't watch the game. Uh yeah, 917 00:43:08,520 --> 00:43:11,040 Speaker 1: I think they probably would have, but it would have 918 00:43:11,080 --> 00:43:12,839 Speaker 1: been close. I mean, it could have on either way. 919 00:43:12,880 --> 00:43:15,200 Speaker 1: If he didn't play, they were in control most of 920 00:43:15,239 --> 00:43:19,400 Speaker 1: the game. Portals came back and scored late, but the 921 00:43:19,560 --> 00:43:21,800 Speaker 1: Jack Wars offense was pretty useless all day. They have 922 00:43:21,880 --> 00:43:24,960 Speaker 1: one pick six on case Keenum that was there was 923 00:43:25,000 --> 00:43:27,480 Speaker 1: a big part of that game. Nine and seven. They 924 00:43:27,560 --> 00:43:30,040 Speaker 1: go and this is not a lot of people are 925 00:43:30,040 --> 00:43:32,239 Speaker 1: saying the same thing, but it is absolutely true. This 926 00:43:32,440 --> 00:43:34,920 Speaker 1: is a three and thirteen, four and twelve team that 927 00:43:35,040 --> 00:43:38,160 Speaker 1: happens to have the best defensive player potentially since Lawrence 928 00:43:38,200 --> 00:43:40,760 Speaker 1: Taylor and their nine and seven and they missed the playoffs. 929 00:43:40,800 --> 00:43:43,160 Speaker 1: But you know, if I'm a Texans fan, I feel 930 00:43:43,239 --> 00:43:46,600 Speaker 1: great because I have a once in a generation superstar 931 00:43:47,200 --> 00:43:49,880 Speaker 1: just hitting his prime. I just need to locate that 932 00:43:49,960 --> 00:43:53,680 Speaker 1: quarterback and we're gonna be okay. This Texans team reminds 933 00:43:53,719 --> 00:43:55,440 Speaker 1: me a little bit. That's a good point about lot. 934 00:43:55,560 --> 00:43:57,920 Speaker 1: They remind me a little bit of the Dolphins team 935 00:43:58,440 --> 00:44:00,719 Speaker 1: when Pennington came there and one come back player of 936 00:44:00,760 --> 00:44:03,200 Speaker 1: the Year, and they had the easiest schedule we had 937 00:44:03,200 --> 00:44:05,160 Speaker 1: ever seen in one eleven games, and people thought they 938 00:44:05,200 --> 00:44:07,680 Speaker 1: would be good the next year. The Texans have one 939 00:44:07,680 --> 00:44:09,680 Speaker 1: of the easiest schedules this year that we've seen in 940 00:44:09,760 --> 00:44:12,640 Speaker 1: a long time, and it don't be surprised if they 941 00:44:12,680 --> 00:44:15,759 Speaker 1: take a step back next year. Yeah, I agree with 942 00:44:15,840 --> 00:44:18,319 Speaker 1: the schedule. I do think they played their best at 943 00:44:18,360 --> 00:44:21,480 Speaker 1: the end because the defense, other than what was very 944 00:44:21,600 --> 00:44:25,320 Speaker 1: generic most of the season, and they made the Ravens 945 00:44:25,440 --> 00:44:28,279 Speaker 1: last week look like an amateur hour. I mean that 946 00:44:28,400 --> 00:44:31,440 Speaker 1: was a blood bath. They have boardles go fourteen for 947 00:44:31,560 --> 00:44:33,479 Speaker 1: thirty three today. They were playing pretty good. They would 948 00:44:33,480 --> 00:44:35,640 Speaker 1: have been more dangerous I think in the playoffs than 949 00:44:35,640 --> 00:44:38,239 Speaker 1: the than the Ravens are. Maybe Romeo Cornell needs to 950 00:44:38,320 --> 00:44:41,400 Speaker 1: get some consideration for that Assistant Coaching Year Award. I 951 00:44:41,480 --> 00:44:44,000 Speaker 1: don't know about that. Well, it's not is that a 952 00:44:44,040 --> 00:44:47,279 Speaker 1: real award, that's a new this year first year. We've 953 00:44:47,320 --> 00:44:49,600 Speaker 1: mentioned it probably seventeen times. I know. I always thought 954 00:44:49,600 --> 00:44:52,000 Speaker 1: you guys are just joke. Is that do they actually 955 00:44:52,080 --> 00:44:53,960 Speaker 1: make it? Is that like a made out of men? 956 00:44:54,120 --> 00:44:55,879 Speaker 1: Be like something they give it honors. I think, yeah, 957 00:44:56,320 --> 00:44:59,440 Speaker 1: I'm not sure, not real gold. It's probably like stainless 958 00:44:59,480 --> 00:45:01,880 Speaker 1: steel or just another byline that has to be cranked 959 00:45:01,880 --> 00:45:05,440 Speaker 1: out super Bowl week, Wesley, one question for you, like, 960 00:45:05,560 --> 00:45:08,040 Speaker 1: don't you feel I look at this season by what 961 00:45:08,640 --> 00:45:12,040 Speaker 1: and I understand who's gonna argue with Rogers get an MVP. 962 00:45:12,200 --> 00:45:14,680 Speaker 1: He's an m v P level quarterback in his season 963 00:45:14,719 --> 00:45:17,800 Speaker 1: has been pristine. But the award feels like a sham 964 00:45:17,920 --> 00:45:20,440 Speaker 1: to me because if you well know, because if and 965 00:45:20,560 --> 00:45:22,759 Speaker 1: lets it's gonna go to a quarterback year after year 966 00:45:22,840 --> 00:45:25,359 Speaker 1: almost and we're not. We could go twenty thirty more 967 00:45:25,440 --> 00:45:29,319 Speaker 1: years without seeing a season like this by a defensive player. Well, 968 00:45:29,520 --> 00:45:31,399 Speaker 1: I mean, if you're asking me, I don't think it's 969 00:45:31,400 --> 00:45:33,800 Speaker 1: a sham. I think I mean, I don't know what 970 00:45:33,920 --> 00:45:36,160 Speaker 1: you want Aaron Rodgers to do. I just feel like, 971 00:45:36,360 --> 00:45:39,200 Speaker 1: in a way, it's the award itself is basically just 972 00:45:39,920 --> 00:45:43,680 Speaker 1: out outside of a few outliers best quarterback of the year. Well, 973 00:45:43,800 --> 00:45:45,600 Speaker 1: that's the way the game is played. I mean, that's 974 00:45:45,800 --> 00:45:48,640 Speaker 1: Vince Lombardi has a quote saying he would tell if 975 00:45:48,840 --> 00:45:51,560 Speaker 1: cronies that football is the perfect team sport, except for 976 00:45:51,600 --> 00:45:54,879 Speaker 1: the glaring imbalance of the quarterback because and I don't 977 00:45:54,920 --> 00:45:57,640 Speaker 1: know how you escaped that the Defensive Player of the 978 00:45:57,680 --> 00:46:00,200 Speaker 1: Year award for a reading assessor. Why you pop Aaron 979 00:46:00,280 --> 00:46:02,879 Speaker 1: Rodgers of stones? Quit popping the stones. I don't even 980 00:46:02,920 --> 00:46:06,040 Speaker 1: know what that means, popping the stones. That sounds that 981 00:46:06,200 --> 00:46:09,440 Speaker 1: sounds rather ugly to me. I'm not discounting Aaron Rodgers. 982 00:46:09,480 --> 00:46:12,400 Speaker 1: The point is, yes, there's no way to outdo what 983 00:46:12,480 --> 00:46:15,719 Speaker 1: a quarterback's worth is do a team, especially Rogers, and 984 00:46:15,800 --> 00:46:18,080 Speaker 1: especially what we saw today. If you want narrative and 985 00:46:18,160 --> 00:46:20,239 Speaker 1: everything else, it's just that I think we could go 986 00:46:20,360 --> 00:46:22,920 Speaker 1: decades and not see a season like this from what 987 00:46:23,120 --> 00:46:26,319 Speaker 1: unless it's what doing it again next season? That's true? 988 00:46:26,400 --> 00:46:30,279 Speaker 1: Ye think. Wow, I can't believe it took so long. Wow. 989 00:46:30,640 --> 00:46:33,240 Speaker 1: T d T was doing all the work behind the glass. 990 00:46:33,280 --> 00:46:36,359 Speaker 1: He's also doing our video content. Uh, if you check 991 00:46:36,360 --> 00:46:39,399 Speaker 1: out NFL now, we did our Big three takeaways from 992 00:46:39,440 --> 00:46:42,160 Speaker 1: week seventeen, and he's really proud of himself. I am, 993 00:46:42,320 --> 00:46:44,520 Speaker 1: And uh, I'm all in for J. J. Watt because 994 00:46:44,560 --> 00:46:46,560 Speaker 1: I know what it's like doing it all by yourself today. 995 00:46:46,640 --> 00:46:50,160 Speaker 1: You know, so you've been doing something I've not been 996 00:46:50,200 --> 00:46:52,800 Speaker 1: aware of that. Well, West. Sorry, I didn't get you 997 00:46:52,880 --> 00:46:55,160 Speaker 1: anything for Christmas, but I did let you watch case 998 00:46:55,280 --> 00:46:58,080 Speaker 1: Keenum start one last time because he's probably not starting 999 00:46:58,120 --> 00:47:00,440 Speaker 1: in the NFL ever again. So that was it and 1000 00:47:00,560 --> 00:47:04,200 Speaker 1: I had the flagsline high today. All right, Chris Westling, 1001 00:47:04,520 --> 00:47:07,680 Speaker 1: continue to not be drinking beer. All right, we'll do. 1002 00:47:07,840 --> 00:47:10,440 Speaker 1: We'll see us soon. Let's move on to the New 1003 00:47:10,560 --> 00:47:14,680 Speaker 1: York Jet Tropolitans and likely what was Rex Ryan's last 1004 00:47:14,719 --> 00:47:16,960 Speaker 1: game as Jets coach, and Jets wiped out a ten 1005 00:47:17,040 --> 00:47:20,239 Speaker 1: point deficit on the way to a thirty seven four 1006 00:47:20,320 --> 00:47:23,359 Speaker 1: win over the Miami Dolphins at sun Life Field. If 1007 00:47:23,400 --> 00:47:24,759 Speaker 1: West was here, I would ask him the name of 1008 00:47:24,760 --> 00:47:27,600 Speaker 1: the stadium and then he would make uh sarcastic comment 1009 00:47:27,680 --> 00:47:31,640 Speaker 1: about that Ryan. Ryan got the gatorade bath from his 1010 00:47:31,719 --> 00:47:33,960 Speaker 1: players after putting the final touches on a four and 1011 00:47:34,080 --> 00:47:38,480 Speaker 1: twelve nightmare season and Gotham, which you know, it's a 1012 00:47:38,560 --> 00:47:39,960 Speaker 1: very Jets move, I'll just put it at that, but 1013 00:47:40,000 --> 00:47:43,480 Speaker 1: also tells you how much these players genuinely love Rex Ryan. 1014 00:47:43,640 --> 00:47:46,239 Speaker 1: I'm gonna miss this guy. Uh. And I'll ask you, 1015 00:47:46,400 --> 00:47:48,320 Speaker 1: and I'll ask you Mark, is there any case that 1016 00:47:48,400 --> 00:47:52,120 Speaker 1: can be made why Ryan should stay? Yeah? Because I'm 1017 00:47:52,160 --> 00:47:55,000 Speaker 1: not sure who you bring in as a head coach 1018 00:47:55,120 --> 00:47:58,200 Speaker 1: that's going to be a a better defensive coach number one, 1019 00:47:58,760 --> 00:48:00,680 Speaker 1: or be it just a better kind of presence. I 1020 00:48:00,719 --> 00:48:03,719 Speaker 1: think Jets fans love Ryan for good reason. But at 1021 00:48:03,760 --> 00:48:06,680 Speaker 1: the same time, I think that from the ownership on down, well, 1022 00:48:06,719 --> 00:48:09,160 Speaker 1: Greg is smirking me. But I I like Ryan and 1023 00:48:09,200 --> 00:48:11,440 Speaker 1: I think that Ryan if he if he wanted to 1024 00:48:11,520 --> 00:48:14,080 Speaker 1: make a case to keep Ryan, he'd have to completely 1025 00:48:14,480 --> 00:48:16,920 Speaker 1: give over the offense, which in theory he's done, but 1026 00:48:17,040 --> 00:48:20,680 Speaker 1: to someone completely maybe Mark Trustman. You paired Mark Trestman, 1027 00:48:20,840 --> 00:48:23,000 Speaker 1: Rex Ryan. I mean, here's the thing, and you're right, 1028 00:48:23,120 --> 00:48:25,839 Speaker 1: Jets fans do love Rex because, uh, you know, he's 1029 00:48:25,880 --> 00:48:28,480 Speaker 1: such a charismatic guy. But I think Jets fans also 1030 00:48:28,600 --> 00:48:31,239 Speaker 1: get that it wouldn't be a bad idea to blow 1031 00:48:31,320 --> 00:48:33,200 Speaker 1: up them. This is four years in a row. Here's 1032 00:48:33,200 --> 00:48:35,239 Speaker 1: the thing, though, who like who do you right now? 1033 00:48:35,400 --> 00:48:37,960 Speaker 1: Who do you see who excites you as the potential 1034 00:48:38,040 --> 00:48:42,040 Speaker 1: next coach? As a coach of the Jets, I could 1035 00:48:42,080 --> 00:48:45,319 Speaker 1: potentically run their video department or even be like Fourth 1036 00:48:45,400 --> 00:48:50,200 Speaker 1: and Charge started its gathering. He's burying balls he was 1037 00:48:50,520 --> 00:48:53,359 Speaker 1: with the Browns. I'd be there coach like five years 1038 00:48:53,400 --> 00:48:56,320 Speaker 1: from now. I mean, he hasn't had a winning season 1039 00:48:56,360 --> 00:48:59,880 Speaker 1: in four great seasons, and one of those two greats 1040 00:49:00,000 --> 00:49:03,840 Speaker 1: sasons the nine and seven. I mean, he doesn't know 1041 00:49:03,920 --> 00:49:06,920 Speaker 1: anything about offensive. If he could play every game in Miami, 1042 00:49:07,120 --> 00:49:11,399 Speaker 1: he'd be Vince Lombardi. But that's not possible. Every great 1043 00:49:11,480 --> 00:49:13,440 Speaker 1: moment that Rex Ryan's ever had is in Miami. He 1044 00:49:13,440 --> 00:49:16,839 Speaker 1: either gets a contract extension, Gatorade bath, it's terrific. Here's 1045 00:49:16,840 --> 00:49:20,399 Speaker 1: the good news. John edsics out. There's no way coming back. 1046 00:49:21,000 --> 00:49:23,799 Speaker 1: You know it sounds everything we're hearing. You know, we're 1047 00:49:23,880 --> 00:49:27,560 Speaker 1: hiring Charlie Casserley, Ron Wilson involved. All this stuff is 1048 00:49:27,640 --> 00:49:31,240 Speaker 1: going on for a reason. Uh and most likely Rex 1049 00:49:31,360 --> 00:49:34,399 Speaker 1: is gonna be out too. So the Jets. The Jets 1050 00:49:34,440 --> 00:49:36,000 Speaker 1: have Here's let's talk about the game. By the way, 1051 00:49:36,080 --> 00:49:40,120 Speaker 1: I just gotta say Gino Smith, nobody else did what 1052 00:49:40,200 --> 00:49:43,440 Speaker 1: Gino Smith Diday did today, which was have a perfect 1053 00:49:43,600 --> 00:49:48,400 Speaker 1: one fifty eight point three passer rating. He played brilliant football. 1054 00:49:48,440 --> 00:49:51,400 Speaker 1: He had one bonehead fumble, but he was accurate. He 1055 00:49:51,520 --> 00:49:53,840 Speaker 1: had a beautiful deep all. He had five passes of 1056 00:49:54,239 --> 00:49:56,719 Speaker 1: thirty yards or more. He made Eric Decker look like 1057 00:49:56,800 --> 00:49:59,160 Speaker 1: he was playing with Peyton Manny again. Decker almost at 1058 00:49:59,160 --> 00:50:02,000 Speaker 1: the single season or single game record for the Jets. 1059 00:50:02,239 --> 00:50:04,240 Speaker 1: He had well over two hundred yards and a touchdown. 1060 00:50:04,600 --> 00:50:07,520 Speaker 1: Gino Smith and Greg, you've been riding the Geno Smith 1061 00:50:08,120 --> 00:50:11,560 Speaker 1: Geno coaster for some time though about a month since 1062 00:50:12,000 --> 00:50:13,719 Speaker 1: and this, and I don't I don't like to throw 1063 00:50:13,880 --> 00:50:17,200 Speaker 1: the glacier John ze too many compliments. But Ezec was 1064 00:50:17,239 --> 00:50:19,680 Speaker 1: supposedly behind the decision to bench Bick and go back 1065 00:50:19,719 --> 00:50:21,359 Speaker 1: to Gino, and it turned out to be the right 1066 00:50:21,400 --> 00:50:24,440 Speaker 1: move because Gino kind of saved his season a little bit, 1067 00:50:24,840 --> 00:50:27,800 Speaker 1: and it all came to a head in Week seventeen, 1068 00:50:27,800 --> 00:50:31,080 Speaker 1: where he played brilliantly. He actually did flash signs of 1069 00:50:31,160 --> 00:50:33,720 Speaker 1: being a Pro Bowl quarterback. But there isn't Geno Smith 1070 00:50:33,800 --> 00:50:36,960 Speaker 1: a reason that a lot of candidates potentially would be 1071 00:50:37,040 --> 00:50:40,360 Speaker 1: scared to take this kind of They don't have a quarterback, 1072 00:50:40,680 --> 00:50:43,080 Speaker 1: so that is something to be scared of. But Geno 1073 00:50:43,120 --> 00:50:44,719 Speaker 1: Smith is an option, and I don't think he's a 1074 00:50:44,800 --> 00:50:47,000 Speaker 1: terrible option. I have been saying you would love it 1075 00:50:47,040 --> 00:50:50,279 Speaker 1: as a Patriots fan. Now I think I just think 1076 00:50:50,320 --> 00:50:53,320 Speaker 1: he's gotten dumped on more than necessary and He's played 1077 00:50:53,360 --> 00:50:55,200 Speaker 1: fairly well over the last five weeks if you just 1078 00:50:55,320 --> 00:50:58,000 Speaker 1: watched those five weeks in a vacuum since that first 1079 00:50:58,080 --> 00:51:00,839 Speaker 1: Dolphins lost, I think he's been He's shown a lot 1080 00:51:00,880 --> 00:51:02,360 Speaker 1: of promise when you watched him. He looks like a 1081 00:51:02,400 --> 00:51:04,560 Speaker 1: guy who might be a guy and on the Dolphins side, 1082 00:51:05,200 --> 00:51:07,400 Speaker 1: just another terrible awesome to me. It's so silly that 1083 00:51:07,600 --> 00:51:11,319 Speaker 1: Stephen ross Uh just basically said, welcome back, Stephen Uh, 1084 00:51:11,640 --> 00:51:15,080 Speaker 1: welcome back, joins fan. I know it could be worse. 1085 00:51:15,200 --> 00:51:18,640 Speaker 1: I tweeted that, and then Uh Handsome Hank notorious dp 1086 00:51:19,320 --> 00:51:21,480 Speaker 1: Uh tweeted back at me, watch what you say. I 1087 00:51:21,520 --> 00:51:24,200 Speaker 1: don't want to ruin our relationship. And I get that, 1088 00:51:24,440 --> 00:51:26,959 Speaker 1: but so British and so severe. I know you gotta 1089 00:51:27,080 --> 00:51:29,160 Speaker 1: you gotta feel for Dolphins, SAIDs who were stuck with 1090 00:51:29,239 --> 00:51:31,640 Speaker 1: philmin and then Mike Wallace might not be stuck with 1091 00:51:31,719 --> 00:51:34,080 Speaker 1: Mike Wallace for too much long group because he was 1092 00:51:34,160 --> 00:51:36,960 Speaker 1: benched for behavioral reasons. He had an attitude issue of 1093 00:51:37,040 --> 00:51:42,680 Speaker 1: some kind. Well, he pulled himself from the game. Initially, 1094 00:51:42,800 --> 00:51:44,800 Speaker 1: it was and it's probably not that much different that 1095 00:51:45,239 --> 00:51:47,600 Speaker 1: he was benched for attitude issues and that there was 1096 00:51:47,680 --> 00:51:49,560 Speaker 1: some reports that he got into a scuffle with a 1097 00:51:49,680 --> 00:51:53,680 Speaker 1: coach verbally. But then Jeff Darlington from NFL Media talked 1098 00:51:53,719 --> 00:51:56,320 Speaker 1: to a couple Dolphins sources that said that he basically 1099 00:51:56,400 --> 00:51:59,520 Speaker 1: after Charles Clay scored a touchdown right before the half, 1100 00:52:00,000 --> 00:52:01,719 Speaker 1: Wallace walked off the field and told film and I 1101 00:52:01,760 --> 00:52:04,239 Speaker 1: don't want to play anymore. It's shade shades of Santonio 1102 00:52:04,320 --> 00:52:08,759 Speaker 1: Holmes also in Miami, walking getting getting in into it 1103 00:52:08,800 --> 00:52:10,480 Speaker 1: with his team. It's very strange and it makes me 1104 00:52:10,520 --> 00:52:12,879 Speaker 1: think Mike Wallace might not won't be in Miami next year. 1105 00:52:13,480 --> 00:52:17,759 Speaker 1: Moving on, Teddy bridge John Teddy Kail, we were wasting 1106 00:52:17,800 --> 00:52:20,360 Speaker 1: the jaunty song on this game. Teddy Bridgewater through a 1107 00:52:20,400 --> 00:52:22,759 Speaker 1: go ahead forty four yard touched on passing the third quarter, 1108 00:52:22,840 --> 00:52:25,960 Speaker 1: guiding the Vikings to a thirteen win over the Bears. 1109 00:52:26,080 --> 00:52:29,240 Speaker 1: Day Cutlers returned to the lineup was uneventful as Chicago 1110 00:52:29,719 --> 00:52:32,920 Speaker 1: gears up for an off season of great potential change. 1111 00:52:33,000 --> 00:52:36,080 Speaker 1: Do we have anything we want to add on this game? Gentleman? 1112 00:52:37,719 --> 00:52:39,920 Speaker 1: What away for Ja Cutler to keep that trade value 1113 00:52:40,000 --> 00:52:42,959 Speaker 1: nice and low? I read something that the Bears would 1114 00:52:42,960 --> 00:52:45,920 Speaker 1: actually have to maybe take give up picks to trade 1115 00:52:46,239 --> 00:52:48,920 Speaker 1: Jay Cutler seriously, they would have to trade like Cutler 1116 00:52:49,000 --> 00:52:50,920 Speaker 1: and a fifth to get a sixth back just to 1117 00:52:51,000 --> 00:52:53,760 Speaker 1: dump this out. So they went from this past January 1118 00:52:53,840 --> 00:52:56,800 Speaker 1: giving him a hundred thirty million dollar contract to the 1119 00:52:56,920 --> 00:52:59,200 Speaker 1: following January maybe having to give up picks just to 1120 00:52:59,320 --> 00:53:01,560 Speaker 1: get the ad them off their hands. That that's a 1121 00:53:01,640 --> 00:53:04,439 Speaker 1: bad season. Nice little season two by the Vikings seven 1122 00:53:04,480 --> 00:53:06,880 Speaker 1: and nine, Teddy Bridgewriter looks solid and it's something. You 1123 00:53:06,920 --> 00:53:08,600 Speaker 1: got a coach, you got a quarterback. I think they 1124 00:53:08,640 --> 00:53:10,799 Speaker 1: can be a little excited to get Agent Peterson back. 1125 00:53:10,880 --> 00:53:13,840 Speaker 1: Probably not maybe who knows, but it is, you know, 1126 00:53:14,160 --> 00:53:17,440 Speaker 1: stranger things have happened. That's not a bad team. It's 1127 00:53:17,480 --> 00:53:20,480 Speaker 1: weird than a year ago. The Vikings fans probably couldn't 1128 00:53:20,480 --> 00:53:22,759 Speaker 1: have been more depressed with their quarterback situation because you 1129 00:53:22,800 --> 00:53:25,520 Speaker 1: had Christian Ponder and who knows what else, and the 1130 00:53:25,600 --> 00:53:27,600 Speaker 1: Bears are feeling great. The Bears are feeling great. One 1131 00:53:27,640 --> 00:53:30,600 Speaker 1: year later, I think that poor Bears fans are among 1132 00:53:30,719 --> 00:53:33,400 Speaker 1: the most depressed in the league because everything's about to 1133 00:53:33,440 --> 00:53:36,439 Speaker 1: get blown up. All right, that's enough of that game. 1134 00:53:36,560 --> 00:53:39,600 Speaker 1: Let's move on to another scorcher with Kyle Orton threw 1135 00:53:39,680 --> 00:53:42,960 Speaker 1: one touchdown, Anthony Dixon ran for another touchdown. The Bills 1136 00:53:43,000 --> 00:53:45,560 Speaker 1: finished their first winning season in ten years. That's good, 1137 00:53:45,960 --> 00:53:49,319 Speaker 1: seventeen nine win over the Patriots. This is a game 1138 00:53:49,400 --> 00:53:52,600 Speaker 1: that meant nothing for the number one seeded Pats. But Greg, 1139 00:53:52,719 --> 00:53:55,600 Speaker 1: you have some concerns as they entered the playoffs, don't you. Well, 1140 00:53:55,640 --> 00:53:57,560 Speaker 1: I don't think they've played good on offense for more 1141 00:53:57,640 --> 00:54:01,920 Speaker 1: than a month. They peaked offensively in the Indianapolis in 1142 00:54:02,040 --> 00:54:05,040 Speaker 1: Detroit games, and then over the last month they've struggled 1143 00:54:05,080 --> 00:54:07,319 Speaker 1: against Green Bay, San Diego. They had a good half 1144 00:54:07,360 --> 00:54:09,719 Speaker 1: against Miami, the Jets, and now the Bills. And I 1145 00:54:09,760 --> 00:54:11,320 Speaker 1: know they were sitting a lot of people with Brady 1146 00:54:11,360 --> 00:54:13,120 Speaker 1: played half the game and the offense didn't play well 1147 00:54:13,120 --> 00:54:14,520 Speaker 1: and he was out there. It's just a fact. It 1148 00:54:14,560 --> 00:54:16,799 Speaker 1: doesn't mean they can't respond, but they haven't played as 1149 00:54:16,800 --> 00:54:19,000 Speaker 1: well on offense. Well, the same Bill's team that took 1150 00:54:19,040 --> 00:54:22,080 Speaker 1: care of business against Aaron Rodgers and the Packers are 1151 00:54:22,280 --> 00:54:24,360 Speaker 1: tough to deal with on defense. We've learned that. And 1152 00:54:24,840 --> 00:54:28,400 Speaker 1: Brady left at half with six points in about eighty yards. 1153 00:54:28,440 --> 00:54:31,160 Speaker 1: Passing did not look good. Now Edeland's not in there, 1154 00:54:31,400 --> 00:54:34,560 Speaker 1: robbed and there they had a bunch of subs. It 1155 00:54:34,640 --> 00:54:37,000 Speaker 1: was really almost a preseason affair for the New in 1156 00:54:37,040 --> 00:54:38,840 Speaker 1: England the way they handled it. They pulled Brady at 1157 00:54:38,880 --> 00:54:41,680 Speaker 1: halftime and comes Jimmy Garoppolo. I don't know, I mean 1158 00:54:41,760 --> 00:54:44,120 Speaker 1: New England. I think they're gonna get it right. This 1159 00:54:44,239 --> 00:54:46,120 Speaker 1: is a team that knows how to fix itself over 1160 00:54:46,200 --> 00:54:49,640 Speaker 1: the bye week in two weeks are gonna because I 1161 00:54:49,680 --> 00:54:51,440 Speaker 1: think there's a lot to be worried about. Yet Bills 1162 00:54:51,480 --> 00:54:54,320 Speaker 1: have to be kicking themselves for losing that game to 1163 00:54:54,440 --> 00:54:56,360 Speaker 1: the Raiders. It could have been exciting, and and the 1164 00:54:56,440 --> 00:54:59,640 Speaker 1: Broncos to just watching this, they could have forced the 1165 00:54:59,680 --> 00:55:01,600 Speaker 1: paid she has to play this game because you just 1166 00:55:01,719 --> 00:55:03,920 Speaker 1: never know and get that home field and great. You 1167 00:55:03,960 --> 00:55:05,440 Speaker 1: want to give a little credit to Mark and I 1168 00:55:05,600 --> 00:55:07,680 Speaker 1: we told you four hundred tons and all the times 1169 00:55:07,719 --> 00:55:09,520 Speaker 1: you were worried about this team they'd go twelve and 1170 00:55:09,560 --> 00:55:11,440 Speaker 1: four and be the one seed. What happened. I give 1171 00:55:11,480 --> 00:55:13,480 Speaker 1: you guys all the credit in the world. Either, we're 1172 00:55:13,520 --> 00:55:15,880 Speaker 1: sears a pair of them, all right, Let's move on. 1173 00:55:17,239 --> 00:55:18,960 Speaker 1: Andrew luck through for a hundred and sixty yards and 1174 00:55:19,040 --> 00:55:21,640 Speaker 1: two touchdowns before sitting out the final two quarters, and 1175 00:55:21,719 --> 00:55:23,600 Speaker 1: the Colts won their finally got final game of the 1176 00:55:23,640 --> 00:55:29,439 Speaker 1: regular season win over the wolfele Tennessee Titans. Uh. That's 1177 00:55:29,480 --> 00:55:32,400 Speaker 1: a Titans get the number two pick in the draft 1178 00:55:32,480 --> 00:55:35,200 Speaker 1: and the Colts will play next week in the wild 1179 00:55:35,280 --> 00:55:37,799 Speaker 1: card round. Uh. The Colts entered January with a lot 1180 00:55:37,880 --> 00:55:40,120 Speaker 1: of lot to prove, though, don't they? Mark? I think so. 1181 00:55:40,239 --> 00:55:42,160 Speaker 1: I mean, you know, Wesleyan has pointed it out on 1182 00:55:42,239 --> 00:55:44,840 Speaker 1: the on the show a few times, and the offense 1183 00:55:45,120 --> 00:55:47,200 Speaker 1: is an up and down operation. I don't think there's 1184 00:55:47,200 --> 00:55:50,800 Speaker 1: something overly special about the defense. Andrew Luckto finishes the 1185 00:55:50,880 --> 00:55:53,440 Speaker 1: year with more touchdown passes than any quarterback in the game, 1186 00:55:53,440 --> 00:55:55,279 Speaker 1: and I wouldn't want I wouldn't want to deal with 1187 00:55:55,360 --> 00:55:57,400 Speaker 1: him in the playoffs. Frankly, a lot of upsets in 1188 00:55:57,480 --> 00:56:01,520 Speaker 1: this game. One Jordan Palmer through passes in the NFL 1189 00:56:01,680 --> 00:56:04,000 Speaker 1: this season, three of them in this game. I mean, 1190 00:56:04,040 --> 00:56:07,640 Speaker 1: that's pretty crazy. The Titans through thirty one passes in 1191 00:56:07,719 --> 00:56:10,320 Speaker 1: this game between him and white hairs for fifty yards. 1192 00:56:10,520 --> 00:56:15,160 Speaker 1: I've never seen that. If one team wanted, I'm not 1193 00:56:15,200 --> 00:56:16,879 Speaker 1: sure this would be a shocker. But if one team 1194 00:56:16,960 --> 00:56:19,200 Speaker 1: wanted to say one and done, We're We're not excited 1195 00:56:19,200 --> 00:56:22,000 Speaker 1: about what happened this season. Ken wizen Hunt could not 1196 00:56:22,160 --> 00:56:24,960 Speaker 1: have done less to undo the reputation of him being 1197 00:56:25,000 --> 00:56:27,719 Speaker 1: a quarterback whisper. Well, that's one thing when you get 1198 00:56:27,760 --> 00:56:31,160 Speaker 1: a young big ben, but his record over the final 1199 00:56:31,239 --> 00:56:34,040 Speaker 1: couple of seasons in Arizona into this year is abominable 1200 00:56:34,320 --> 00:56:36,560 Speaker 1: and he's shown very little ability to develop a quarterback 1201 00:56:36,680 --> 00:56:39,000 Speaker 1: the way. Unless you're Bill Walsh, I'm kind of all 1202 00:56:39,040 --> 00:56:42,480 Speaker 1: set on the quarterback whisperer move. Yeah, I'm kind of 1203 00:56:42,520 --> 00:56:45,000 Speaker 1: done with that. Well, right, we've we've maybe not us, 1204 00:56:45,080 --> 00:56:51,719 Speaker 1: but everyone including us, enough of the whispering everybody. I 1205 00:56:51,760 --> 00:56:55,160 Speaker 1: don't even know what that really means, but it doesn't 1206 00:56:55,160 --> 00:56:57,839 Speaker 1: really check out over time. The solid point someone named 1207 00:56:57,960 --> 00:57:00,719 Speaker 1: Zerlan Tipton. I know that guy, and nine carries in 1208 00:57:00,760 --> 00:57:02,360 Speaker 1: this game. I just wanted to point that out. What 1209 00:57:02,680 --> 00:57:04,680 Speaker 1: this is Week seventeen, and that's that's where we are, 1210 00:57:05,440 --> 00:57:09,080 Speaker 1: all right, Mark steps out, Greg and I will finish 1211 00:57:09,120 --> 00:57:12,560 Speaker 1: the show, and we finish it by talking about Sunday 1212 00:57:12,719 --> 00:57:20,760 Speaker 1: Night football, Yikes, where Antonio Brown returned up big game. 1213 00:57:21,280 --> 00:57:24,000 Speaker 1: We're Antonio Brown returned to find a fair touchdown and 1214 00:57:24,040 --> 00:57:26,160 Speaker 1: sealed the a f C North for the Steelers with 1215 00:57:26,320 --> 00:57:29,760 Speaker 1: a sixty three are touchdown reception late in the game. 1216 00:57:29,840 --> 00:57:33,920 Speaker 1: The Steelers went seventeen over the Cincinnati Bengals on Sunday 1217 00:57:34,000 --> 00:57:38,360 Speaker 1: Night Football. That is an a f C North championship 1218 00:57:38,560 --> 00:57:41,400 Speaker 1: for the Steelers, who really rebounded in the final month 1219 00:57:41,480 --> 00:57:44,160 Speaker 1: of the season after being obviously up and down in 1220 00:57:44,280 --> 00:57:47,200 Speaker 1: the first two thirds of the season. And it also 1221 00:57:47,280 --> 00:57:51,040 Speaker 1: gives them a home game against the Baltimore Ravens next 1222 00:57:51,120 --> 00:57:54,439 Speaker 1: weekend and the Bengals. Where the Bengals go, they will 1223 00:57:54,440 --> 00:57:58,800 Speaker 1: be heading to Indie and Apolis Sunday to two teams 1224 00:57:58,840 --> 00:58:02,720 Speaker 1: I thought for certain were first round knockouts. Obviously one 1225 00:58:02,800 --> 00:58:05,280 Speaker 1: of them will not be knocked down in the first round. 1226 00:58:05,640 --> 00:58:08,960 Speaker 1: But let's talk about this game. Greg, your takeaways on 1227 00:58:09,080 --> 00:58:11,280 Speaker 1: a big win for the Steelers. Oh, there's so much 1228 00:58:11,640 --> 00:58:14,680 Speaker 1: to talk about, but Levy on Bell's injury and then 1229 00:58:14,760 --> 00:58:17,960 Speaker 1: A J. Green's injury on top of that. We're kind 1230 00:58:17,960 --> 00:58:20,360 Speaker 1: of my takeaways because these are two playoff teams. Levy 1231 00:58:20,440 --> 00:58:22,959 Speaker 1: on Bell no structural damage, something we'll be talking about 1232 00:58:22,960 --> 00:58:26,120 Speaker 1: a week. There seemed to be some optimism after the game. 1233 00:58:26,160 --> 00:58:28,960 Speaker 1: It wasn't that serious short week for the Steelers, right, 1234 00:58:29,080 --> 00:58:32,720 Speaker 1: And it's just they're just not the same dangerous team 1235 00:58:32,760 --> 00:58:34,520 Speaker 1: without him. I I've talked him up as an m 1236 00:58:34,600 --> 00:58:36,960 Speaker 1: v P gannit they only had twenty nine yards rushing. 1237 00:58:37,240 --> 00:58:40,480 Speaker 1: They managed to win this game despite a few things 1238 00:58:40,600 --> 00:58:43,160 Speaker 1: going wrong for them, But they got a punt return touchdown, 1239 00:58:43,200 --> 00:58:46,080 Speaker 1: they got big turnovers when they needed it, and and 1240 00:58:46,160 --> 00:58:51,479 Speaker 1: they survived in advanced Antonio Brown is the best wide 1241 00:58:51,520 --> 00:58:54,000 Speaker 1: receiver in football in two thousand fourteen. Listen to these 1242 00:58:54,040 --> 00:59:00,320 Speaker 1: stats are nine receptions, one thousand six yards a team. 1243 00:59:00,400 --> 00:59:03,640 Speaker 1: Receiving touchdowns obviously makes an impact on special teams as well. 1244 00:59:03,680 --> 00:59:06,560 Speaker 1: As we saw. He won't be getting any MVP votes, 1245 00:59:06,640 --> 00:59:09,840 Speaker 1: but Antonio Brown is a monster stud. I think he's 1246 00:59:09,880 --> 00:59:12,800 Speaker 1: finally on everyone's radar, and with good reason. The guy 1247 00:59:13,000 --> 00:59:16,400 Speaker 1: is a superstar. He will be Wait wait, what what 1248 00:59:16,520 --> 00:59:19,480 Speaker 1: am I lying about? I'm just saying, give me Odibes 1249 00:59:19,480 --> 00:59:28,360 Speaker 1: twelve weeks over. How about do it again next year? 1250 00:59:29,360 --> 00:59:32,720 Speaker 1: Antonio every year. I'm not saying he's the best. If 1251 00:59:32,760 --> 00:59:35,520 Speaker 1: a baseball player missed forty games, though, you wouldn't really 1252 00:59:35,560 --> 00:59:37,840 Speaker 1: consider him to have the crown as the best player. 1253 00:59:37,960 --> 00:59:40,640 Speaker 1: So I think we should give Brown is do I 1254 00:59:40,720 --> 00:59:42,840 Speaker 1: think you can make a case for Damarius Thomas but 1255 00:59:43,040 --> 00:59:46,160 Speaker 1: I'm gonna go along. Dan's right, get big Brown fan. 1256 00:59:46,240 --> 00:59:52,600 Speaker 1: I'm just saying, you know what he also did. He 1257 00:59:52,800 --> 00:59:57,560 Speaker 1: had a signature game winning touchdown to win a division 1258 00:59:57,640 --> 01:00:00,720 Speaker 1: in the a f C North, one on un coverage. 1259 01:00:01,000 --> 01:00:03,800 Speaker 1: The Steelers didn't play it safe. They threw the ball 1260 01:00:03,840 --> 01:00:05,800 Speaker 1: a couple of times right at the end of the game. 1261 01:00:05,840 --> 01:00:07,840 Speaker 1: One got knocked down and then the next one Brown 1262 01:00:07,960 --> 01:00:10,160 Speaker 1: takes at sixty three yards to win it. That's what 1263 01:00:10,320 --> 01:00:12,520 Speaker 1: big time players do. Yes, and I love me some 1264 01:00:12,600 --> 01:00:15,440 Speaker 1: model Beckham, but let's see him doing some impact games 1265 01:00:15,760 --> 01:00:17,360 Speaker 1: and then we'll get back to him being the best 1266 01:00:17,400 --> 01:00:21,560 Speaker 1: wide receiver in football. Alright. You know what, Calvin Johnson 1267 01:00:21,640 --> 01:00:24,240 Speaker 1: didn't set the touchdown record, so you know, pipe down. 1268 01:00:24,760 --> 01:00:27,520 Speaker 1: I think the other thing that's your real name. I 1269 01:00:27,600 --> 01:00:28,960 Speaker 1: think the other thing we saw in this game was 1270 01:00:29,040 --> 01:00:32,840 Speaker 1: a Steelers defense that's continuing an upward trajectory. He wasn't 1271 01:00:32,840 --> 01:00:35,720 Speaker 1: a bad game for Andy Dalton, really, and he had 1272 01:00:35,760 --> 01:00:38,480 Speaker 1: the early interception. The other one was bad luck. He 1273 01:00:38,560 --> 01:00:40,680 Speaker 1: really had some bad luck when A. J. Green fumbled 1274 01:00:40,760 --> 01:00:42,640 Speaker 1: that bass. At that point, I thought the Bengals were 1275 01:00:42,680 --> 01:00:46,000 Speaker 1: making a comeback. But overall, the Steelers are getting more pressure, 1276 01:00:46,040 --> 01:00:48,320 Speaker 1: and they look like a better defense over the last 1277 01:00:48,400 --> 01:00:49,960 Speaker 1: month of the seas. I thought this was a positive 1278 01:00:50,000 --> 01:00:52,600 Speaker 1: game for Andy Dalton to go into the playoffs. And 1279 01:00:52,840 --> 01:00:55,080 Speaker 1: he made some throws off a J. Green doesn't fumble 1280 01:00:55,160 --> 01:00:58,520 Speaker 1: up all. Who knows what happens. But let's uh, you know, 1281 01:00:59,000 --> 01:01:01,520 Speaker 1: let's not bury the lead. Uh. This game clinched for 1282 01:01:01,640 --> 01:01:09,080 Speaker 1: Greg Rosenthal the around the NFL Picks title. You ended 1283 01:01:09,160 --> 01:01:11,960 Speaker 1: up beating me by one game in the standings. Yes, 1284 01:01:12,200 --> 01:01:14,520 Speaker 1: although this one Mark had a chance to tie me 1285 01:01:14,840 --> 01:01:17,200 Speaker 1: in this game. That was a swing because he had 1286 01:01:17,240 --> 01:01:19,560 Speaker 1: the Bengals. There's no reason anyone should ever get behind 1287 01:01:19,640 --> 01:01:22,080 Speaker 1: Cincinnati in prime time. I didn't. I chose the Steelers, 1288 01:01:22,400 --> 01:01:24,840 Speaker 1: so I finished a game behind you. But congratulations, that's 1289 01:01:24,880 --> 01:01:27,320 Speaker 1: your second This is and this is the lead of 1290 01:01:27,400 --> 01:01:29,000 Speaker 1: the entire show. We might even move it to the 1291 01:01:29,920 --> 01:01:32,640 Speaker 1: You're looking at me with too much sincerity? Right, I do. Also, 1292 01:01:33,000 --> 01:01:36,040 Speaker 1: there's a Shadowy League figure. You mentioned the other Oh, yes, 1293 01:01:36,240 --> 01:01:38,080 Speaker 1: that he wanted to make sure we mentioned that he 1294 01:01:38,400 --> 01:01:40,920 Speaker 1: beat all of us. Well, yeah, we had this competition 1295 01:01:41,000 --> 01:01:43,840 Speaker 1: with the feature group, the Shadowy League figure, Mr Marvel. 1296 01:01:44,160 --> 01:01:46,520 Speaker 1: He did have the best individual records. Some there have 1297 01:01:46,680 --> 01:01:48,760 Speaker 1: been some questions about whether all his picks were in 1298 01:01:48,880 --> 01:01:51,840 Speaker 1: time each week, but you know he had the best 1299 01:01:51,880 --> 01:01:54,600 Speaker 1: record in the I'm not touching that I could. I 1300 01:01:54,640 --> 01:01:56,600 Speaker 1: could get in trouble. Then I thought Mr Marvel did 1301 01:01:56,640 --> 01:02:00,120 Speaker 1: a fabulous job really reading the tea leaves week for 1302 01:02:00,200 --> 01:02:02,440 Speaker 1: a week.
