Thank you for the 15 00:01:02,400 --> 00:01:07,280 Speaker 1: glowing remarks on iTunes, even on Spotify, even on social media. Guys. 16 00:01:07,280 --> 00:01:09,480 Speaker 1: You guys are too too nice and too kind, and 17 00:01:09,520 --> 00:01:12,280 Speaker 1: we're going to continue to bring you the goods. Let's 18 00:01:12,280 --> 00:01:15,240 Speaker 1: get started Week twelve in the NFL. It's tough not 19 00:01:15,319 --> 00:01:19,319 Speaker 1: to start here, you know, Tom Brady once again falling apart, 20 00:01:19,840 --> 00:01:22,839 Speaker 1: and he's starting to look the part of the forty 21 00:01:22,840 --> 00:01:26,120 Speaker 1: three year old quarterback that we thought maybe could rear 22 00:01:26,160 --> 00:01:27,800 Speaker 1: his ugly head in the second half of the season. 23 00:01:27,959 --> 00:01:30,800 Speaker 1: We've referenced the Peyton Manning issues when he was in 24 00:01:30,840 --> 00:01:33,920 Speaker 1: his final season in Denver. But the problem here is 25 00:01:34,000 --> 00:01:36,960 Speaker 1: Tom Brady's butting heads with a sixty eight year old 26 00:01:37,000 --> 00:01:40,440 Speaker 1: head coach who set in his ways, and we're seeing 27 00:01:40,440 --> 00:01:43,360 Speaker 1: the friction bubble up. There was a report that Rob 28 00:01:43,440 --> 00:01:48,280 Speaker 1: g sent me over the weekend, just stunning quotes essentially 29 00:01:48,320 --> 00:01:53,280 Speaker 1: referencing the movie Roadhouse starring Patrick Swayzy. I know you 30 00:01:53,320 --> 00:01:55,600 Speaker 1: guys have seen it. I love the reference bad eighties movies. 31 00:01:55,720 --> 00:01:59,040 Speaker 1: This is a great eighties movie. And the premises Patrick 32 00:01:59,120 --> 00:02:02,960 Speaker 1: Swayze is a bouncer. He's a legendary bouncer in the Midwest, 33 00:02:03,400 --> 00:02:07,800 Speaker 1: and everybody knows him as a cooler. He apparently, uh, 34 00:02:07,800 --> 00:02:10,600 Speaker 1: that's the name for a bouncer. You get everybody to 35 00:02:10,680 --> 00:02:13,160 Speaker 1: cool down and take it outside, and that's what the 36 00:02:13,160 --> 00:02:16,560 Speaker 1: great bouncers do. And everybody who meets Patrick Swayzy, their 37 00:02:16,600 --> 00:02:18,680 Speaker 1: first thing in the movie is I thought you'd be bigger. 38 00:02:19,639 --> 00:02:23,160 Speaker 1: And the one report about Tom Brady and Bruce Arians 39 00:02:23,200 --> 00:02:26,520 Speaker 1: kind of damning. It's from a guy named Dan Graziano 40 00:02:26,600 --> 00:02:31,079 Speaker 1: at ESPN. He said, Bruce Arian, Arians and Tom Brady 41 00:02:31,160 --> 00:02:34,160 Speaker 1: just met, right. It's almost like Arians was watching some 42 00:02:34,240 --> 00:02:37,960 Speaker 1: sort of movie star action hero then met him in 43 00:02:38,000 --> 00:02:42,120 Speaker 1: person and said, I thought you'd be bigger. That's brutal. 44 00:02:42,280 --> 00:02:45,080 Speaker 1: Now we will say this. Brady started out the season 45 00:02:45,320 --> 00:02:50,120 Speaker 1: twenty touchdowns and four interceptions. Again beginning of this of 46 00:02:50,160 --> 00:02:52,240 Speaker 1: the month of November, folks, he was an MVP candidate. 47 00:02:52,680 --> 00:02:55,359 Speaker 1: And then the last four games happened and it has 48 00:02:55,400 --> 00:03:00,600 Speaker 1: been just unbelievably bad for Tom Brady. He cannot I 49 00:03:00,600 --> 00:03:04,000 Speaker 1: can't do anything right. He has seven interceptions combined in 50 00:03:04,040 --> 00:03:09,000 Speaker 1: the last four games. Struggled against the Saints, struggled yesterday 51 00:03:09,040 --> 00:03:10,720 Speaker 1: against the Bucks. I know they got the cover and 52 00:03:10,720 --> 00:03:12,680 Speaker 1: they came back, but they were never in that game 53 00:03:13,840 --> 00:03:16,240 Speaker 1: and the fourth quarter. Get out of here, Okay. The 54 00:03:16,320 --> 00:03:20,000 Speaker 1: Bucks never had a chance in that game. And Brady 55 00:03:20,040 --> 00:03:22,880 Speaker 1: also did not deliver against the Rams. And they have 56 00:03:23,040 --> 00:03:26,160 Speaker 1: lost three or four against seven picks in the last 57 00:03:26,200 --> 00:03:28,800 Speaker 1: four games. And I don't want to say Arians and 58 00:03:28,840 --> 00:03:31,640 Speaker 1: Brady are oil and water, but the potential for it 59 00:03:31,680 --> 00:03:34,400 Speaker 1: to get ugly. This week is high because the Buzzards 60 00:03:34,480 --> 00:03:38,120 Speaker 1: a k a. The media, They're sensing blood. They know 61 00:03:38,200 --> 00:03:41,080 Speaker 1: what's happening. They know these two are on a collision course. 62 00:03:41,520 --> 00:03:45,520 Speaker 1: Brady struggling with the deep pass, a lot of miscommunication 63 00:03:45,600 --> 00:03:48,200 Speaker 1: with the receivers. And to go back to something we 64 00:03:48,320 --> 00:03:51,400 Speaker 1: pointed out, this was in September. Guys, we pointed this 65 00:03:51,400 --> 00:03:55,000 Speaker 1: out in September. If you watch the game against the Chargers, 66 00:03:55,080 --> 00:03:58,920 Speaker 1: and you watch the game even against Denver, arians has 67 00:03:58,960 --> 00:04:02,120 Speaker 1: his philosophy which dates back to Carson Palmer in Arizona 68 00:04:02,480 --> 00:04:05,200 Speaker 1: and Big Ben where he won two Super Bowls with 69 00:04:05,240 --> 00:04:08,080 Speaker 1: the Steelers. He wants the quarterback to drop back and 70 00:04:08,200 --> 00:04:12,120 Speaker 1: chuck it. He wants deep bombs and Tom Brady can't 71 00:04:12,120 --> 00:04:15,000 Speaker 1: deliver that. But you knew what you were getting. It's 72 00:04:15,000 --> 00:04:17,800 Speaker 1: like you'd start dating a girl and you don't want 73 00:04:17,800 --> 00:04:19,800 Speaker 1: a girl who's a party animal, but you knew that 74 00:04:19,839 --> 00:04:22,479 Speaker 1: when you met her, and you're hoping to maybe change 75 00:04:22,480 --> 00:04:25,600 Speaker 1: her ways. You're not gonna change Tom Brady's ways. There 76 00:04:25,680 --> 00:04:30,760 Speaker 1: was a stretch in uh Chiefs Bucks where the announcer 77 00:04:30,839 --> 00:04:35,640 Speaker 1: said Brady had missed his last twenty passes of twenty 78 00:04:35,720 --> 00:04:37,640 Speaker 1: or more air yards. He just can't connect on the 79 00:04:37,680 --> 00:04:40,080 Speaker 1: deep ball. Now, he did hit a couple when the 80 00:04:40,080 --> 00:04:41,760 Speaker 1: game was out of reach, and he helped them come 81 00:04:41,800 --> 00:04:46,080 Speaker 1: back and get in it. But ultimately Tom Brady made 82 00:04:46,120 --> 00:04:49,200 Speaker 1: this decision to go to Tampa. He had the Chargers 83 00:04:49,200 --> 00:04:53,200 Speaker 1: as an option, and you know, given how poorly Anthony 84 00:04:53,279 --> 00:04:56,680 Speaker 1: Lynn has done and don't get me freaking started on 85 00:04:56,760 --> 00:04:59,840 Speaker 1: the ending of Chargers bills, because I had to actually 86 00:05:00,000 --> 00:05:04,320 Speaker 1: cooled down, folks. I walked outside. I knew I was 87 00:05:04,320 --> 00:05:07,760 Speaker 1: gonna get angry and heated. I was already very very irate, 88 00:05:08,320 --> 00:05:11,480 Speaker 1: and um, I had to walk outside and cool down. 89 00:05:11,560 --> 00:05:14,560 Speaker 1: That's how Piste off, Anthony Lennon the Chargers got me. 90 00:05:14,640 --> 00:05:18,200 Speaker 1: I refused to revisit it. I'm sorry at any rate, 91 00:05:18,279 --> 00:05:20,960 Speaker 1: Brady had those two choices because if you remember, and 92 00:05:21,080 --> 00:05:25,400 Speaker 1: Rob found this great story where Giselle went to Robert 93 00:05:25,440 --> 00:05:27,640 Speaker 1: Craft of the Patriots and said, you know what, Tom 94 00:05:27,680 --> 00:05:31,120 Speaker 1: Brady's won six damn Super Bowls. He deserves better than 95 00:05:31,120 --> 00:05:33,240 Speaker 1: what Bill Belichick is saying about him in front of 96 00:05:33,240 --> 00:05:37,039 Speaker 1: the team in the film room. This is unacceptable. And 97 00:05:37,080 --> 00:05:39,440 Speaker 1: I guess Brady couldn't really stand up to Bill or 98 00:05:39,480 --> 00:05:41,480 Speaker 1: didn't want to which is you know, listen, Belichick is 99 00:05:41,480 --> 00:05:45,080 Speaker 1: a gruff dude. Um. And ultimately Giselle and Brady said 100 00:05:45,080 --> 00:05:48,960 Speaker 1: we're out by peace and they are relocating to Tampa 101 00:05:49,680 --> 00:05:52,280 Speaker 1: and listen, Arians, as I said, sixty eight year old 102 00:05:52,279 --> 00:05:55,200 Speaker 1: guy kind of setting his ways. And ultimately they're gonna 103 00:05:55,200 --> 00:05:58,320 Speaker 1: have to figure this out quickly because right now this 104 00:05:58,480 --> 00:06:01,520 Speaker 1: has the whiff of a one in done. Uh Tampa 105 00:06:01,520 --> 00:06:03,640 Speaker 1: Bay Bucks team. Now, maybe they get lucky and go 106 00:06:03,680 --> 00:06:06,599 Speaker 1: on the road to face an NFC East winner, which 107 00:06:06,760 --> 00:06:09,640 Speaker 1: might be the Giants. At this point, we'll get to 108 00:06:09,680 --> 00:06:13,400 Speaker 1: the Eagles game tonight, could be Washington. Um, I do 109 00:06:13,520 --> 00:06:16,159 Speaker 1: believe Tampa Bay would handle either of those two teams. 110 00:06:16,160 --> 00:06:19,280 Speaker 1: I know Washington's defense can get after the quarterback, but 111 00:06:19,320 --> 00:06:21,600 Speaker 1: I would assume the Tampa offensive line is healthy at 112 00:06:21,640 --> 00:06:26,360 Speaker 1: that point. Ultimately, though, the Bucks right now look like 113 00:06:26,680 --> 00:06:29,160 Speaker 1: maybe a team that could win one game in the postseason. 114 00:06:29,839 --> 00:06:33,839 Speaker 1: I don't know what the solution is between Bruce Arians 115 00:06:33,839 --> 00:06:35,919 Speaker 1: and Tom Brady, but this ain't gonna work like something 116 00:06:36,000 --> 00:06:38,719 Speaker 1: gotta figure out something either. Arians has to say, Yo, 117 00:06:39,440 --> 00:06:41,440 Speaker 1: I'm gonna let you do you Tom go with the 118 00:06:41,520 --> 00:06:45,320 Speaker 1: underneath stuff and uh, this chuck it and Duckett is 119 00:06:45,360 --> 00:06:48,679 Speaker 1: not working for Tom Brady and Bruce Arians. So Bucks 120 00:06:48,720 --> 00:06:51,280 Speaker 1: drop to seven and five. All is not lost. They 121 00:06:51,320 --> 00:06:54,120 Speaker 1: have a by this week. Maybe they can get right, uh, 122 00:06:54,279 --> 00:06:56,640 Speaker 1: and Tampa could figure out some things and you know 123 00:06:56,680 --> 00:06:59,200 Speaker 1: they can huddle up after the buy and get hot 124 00:06:59,200 --> 00:07:01,640 Speaker 1: there at the end. But ultimately, right now, I don't 125 00:07:01,640 --> 00:07:03,600 Speaker 1: like where things are headed. And I do want to 126 00:07:03,920 --> 00:07:05,839 Speaker 1: I do want to quickly chime in on Tony Romo. 127 00:07:06,279 --> 00:07:09,560 Speaker 1: Tony Romo and Nance called the Bucks Chiefs game, and 128 00:07:09,600 --> 00:07:11,720 Speaker 1: I like Tony Romo a lot as an announcer. He's 129 00:07:11,760 --> 00:07:15,800 Speaker 1: kind of free wheeling, He's energetic. Uh, he's got good 130 00:07:16,040 --> 00:07:18,320 Speaker 1: energy when it comes to highs and lows in the game. 131 00:07:18,360 --> 00:07:21,480 Speaker 1: I like Tony Romo a lot. But maybe it was 132 00:07:21,520 --> 00:07:25,960 Speaker 1: just me, but he was bending over backward to defend 133 00:07:26,040 --> 00:07:30,240 Speaker 1: Tom Brady. Sunday, everything was what's what these played calls for? 134 00:07:30,320 --> 00:07:33,400 Speaker 1: Bruce Arians, Mike Evits, you gotta turn around, this is 135 00:07:33,440 --> 00:07:36,360 Speaker 1: a hot route. How could they not do? Every single 136 00:07:36,400 --> 00:07:42,600 Speaker 1: thing that Tony Romo was criticizing was everything around Tom Brady. 137 00:07:42,760 --> 00:07:45,240 Speaker 1: And yes, I get it, tom Brady, new play sheet, 138 00:07:45,720 --> 00:07:51,280 Speaker 1: new offense, new offensive coordinator, new city knew everything and 139 00:07:51,320 --> 00:07:53,880 Speaker 1: there is a learning curve. It's been three months. I 140 00:07:53,920 --> 00:07:57,160 Speaker 1: know there was no preseason, but after three months, at 141 00:07:57,160 --> 00:07:59,040 Speaker 1: what point do we stopped giving Brady a little bit 142 00:07:59,040 --> 00:08:01,440 Speaker 1: of a pass here? Tony and I do want to 143 00:08:01,480 --> 00:08:03,680 Speaker 1: just push back a little bit on Romo and say, 144 00:08:03,760 --> 00:08:06,600 Speaker 1: let's listen, when Brady's bad, you gotta say he's bad. 145 00:08:06,680 --> 00:08:09,840 Speaker 1: Like he made a great, great deep pass to Godwin 146 00:08:10,320 --> 00:08:12,240 Speaker 1: in the third quarter. He's probably his best ball of 147 00:08:12,280 --> 00:08:14,600 Speaker 1: the season. It was like, Oh, there's the old Tom 148 00:08:14,640 --> 00:08:16,880 Speaker 1: Brady hitting on our deep bomb. It was awesome. The 149 00:08:17,080 --> 00:08:21,120 Speaker 1: very next play, Brady underthrows I think it was Evans 150 00:08:21,120 --> 00:08:23,000 Speaker 1: on the sideline. It was easily picked off. It's like, 151 00:08:23,000 --> 00:08:25,840 Speaker 1: what are you doing? Tom? And it took the highs 152 00:08:25,880 --> 00:08:28,440 Speaker 1: and lows. He's old man. All right. Let's move on 153 00:08:28,480 --> 00:08:31,120 Speaker 1: to what I think is the second biggest story in 154 00:08:31,160 --> 00:08:33,360 Speaker 1: the NFL coming out of Week twelve, and there were 155 00:08:33,360 --> 00:08:35,720 Speaker 1: a lot of them. I think Saturday, Folks, was probably 156 00:08:35,760 --> 00:08:39,160 Speaker 1: the craziest Saturday I could remember in all my years 157 00:08:39,160 --> 00:08:44,360 Speaker 1: following the NFL between a coach in Matt Patricia fired, 158 00:08:44,679 --> 00:08:47,560 Speaker 1: the COVID outbreak which will get too shortly, le Broncos 159 00:08:47,640 --> 00:08:51,000 Speaker 1: having no quarterbacks and with all this stuff out there, 160 00:08:51,120 --> 00:08:53,480 Speaker 1: I mean, we had seven backup quarterbacks starting in the 161 00:08:53,559 --> 00:08:58,240 Speaker 1: NFL Sunday seven. We're forgetting the greatness of Pat Mahomes. 162 00:08:58,240 --> 00:09:02,160 Speaker 1: And we have used the Lebron analogy far too frequently here, 163 00:09:02,440 --> 00:09:06,480 Speaker 1: but again, Patrick Mahomes, are you seeing the ridiculousness. It's 164 00:09:06,480 --> 00:09:08,960 Speaker 1: to the point where it's like, oh, Mahomes did that. Okay, cool, 165 00:09:08,960 --> 00:09:13,320 Speaker 1: we've seen it. Nice job, Pat, al Right, way to go, Pat, folks. 166 00:09:13,600 --> 00:09:20,280 Speaker 1: Patrick Mahomes on the season, thirty touchdowns, two interceptions, of 167 00:09:20,400 --> 00:09:22,480 Speaker 1: all the madness coming out of Sunday, and there was 168 00:09:22,520 --> 00:09:27,760 Speaker 1: a lot. Patrick Mahomes had three fifty nine passing yards 169 00:09:27,760 --> 00:09:29,959 Speaker 1: in the first half, the most of anybody in the 170 00:09:30,120 --> 00:09:33,800 Speaker 1: NFL in the last forty years. You understand that nobody 171 00:09:33,840 --> 00:09:36,400 Speaker 1: had a better first half of a football game passing 172 00:09:36,960 --> 00:09:40,599 Speaker 1: in the last forty years than Patrick Mahomes on Sunday. 173 00:09:40,800 --> 00:09:42,920 Speaker 1: And he's the number two topic here and I guarantee 174 00:09:42,960 --> 00:09:45,400 Speaker 1: you he's not even top five anywhere else or whatever 175 00:09:45,440 --> 00:09:48,880 Speaker 1: other podcasts you'll listen to. His greatness is just getting overshadowed. 176 00:09:48,880 --> 00:09:52,959 Speaker 1: It's ridiculous. And the smartness is that even a think 177 00:09:53,000 --> 00:09:58,400 Speaker 1: smartness of Andy Reid to instantly attack Carlton Davis, who's 178 00:09:58,400 --> 00:10:00,800 Speaker 1: a very good number two on her back, but their 179 00:10:00,880 --> 00:10:02,559 Speaker 1: number one, Jamal Dean, the guy who had to pick 180 00:10:02,600 --> 00:10:06,080 Speaker 1: six of Aaron Rodgers a few weeks back, their highest 181 00:10:06,160 --> 00:10:08,840 Speaker 1: rated quarterback according to Pro Football Focus. He was out, 182 00:10:09,679 --> 00:10:12,120 Speaker 1: Dean was out. They put Davis on Tyreek Hill. What 183 00:10:12,200 --> 00:10:15,559 Speaker 1: did Andy Rita Mahomes do right out the jump? Tyreek 184 00:10:15,640 --> 00:10:18,360 Speaker 1: Hill four catches for a hundred thirty three yards in 185 00:10:18,400 --> 00:10:21,880 Speaker 1: a touchdown in the first eight minutes. This is just 186 00:10:21,960 --> 00:10:26,720 Speaker 1: smart football right now. Nobody's doing it better than Patrick Mahomes. 187 00:10:26,800 --> 00:10:30,760 Speaker 1: I don't know if like, I don't know where we're 188 00:10:30,800 --> 00:10:34,520 Speaker 1: gonna have adjectives after his third year as a starter. 189 00:10:34,679 --> 00:10:38,280 Speaker 1: That's where we are, his third year. The greatness is legit, folks. 190 00:10:39,280 --> 00:10:42,240 Speaker 1: Patrick Mahomes on the road in his career twenty and 191 00:10:42,360 --> 00:10:46,560 Speaker 1: four has lost by three points, three points, seven points, 192 00:10:46,600 --> 00:10:49,360 Speaker 1: and three points. And I decided to go back. He 193 00:10:49,440 --> 00:10:52,920 Speaker 1: has four regular season losses in his last twenty five games. 194 00:10:53,240 --> 00:10:56,320 Speaker 1: They lost to the Raiders. The defense gave up forty points. 195 00:10:56,360 --> 00:10:58,320 Speaker 1: They lost to Tennessee last year. And I know this 196 00:10:58,360 --> 00:11:00,520 Speaker 1: was a crazy game because I had money on the 197 00:11:00,559 --> 00:11:04,280 Speaker 1: Chiefs kicker botched two kicks in the final like six minutes, 198 00:11:04,559 --> 00:11:08,920 Speaker 1: totally blew it Titans one lucky total luck box. They 199 00:11:08,960 --> 00:11:12,680 Speaker 1: lost to Houston and Deshaun Watson thirty great game from 200 00:11:12,679 --> 00:11:15,280 Speaker 1: Deshaun Watson and they ran the football, played keep away again. 201 00:11:15,679 --> 00:11:18,400 Speaker 1: It's on the Chief's defense. The one game you could 202 00:11:18,440 --> 00:11:22,120 Speaker 1: say Mahomes was really flustered was the Colts game. They 203 00:11:22,160 --> 00:11:24,719 Speaker 1: lost to the Colts nineteen thirteen last year. It was 204 00:11:24,760 --> 00:11:28,640 Speaker 1: the game that made Matt Eberflus. He's now the hottest 205 00:11:28,640 --> 00:11:31,240 Speaker 1: defensive coordinator in the league. Probably Mike will get a 206 00:11:31,240 --> 00:11:34,599 Speaker 1: head coaching job in this offseason. Robert Salah of the 207 00:11:34,679 --> 00:11:37,359 Speaker 1: Niners probably has something to say about that. But Eberflus 208 00:11:37,840 --> 00:11:40,600 Speaker 1: really shut down Mahomes. That was That was an amazing performance. 209 00:11:41,040 --> 00:11:44,600 Speaker 1: And otherwise he's been lights out. I mean, we're talking 210 00:11:44,600 --> 00:11:48,120 Speaker 1: about a guy, folks, you know, we're seeing it. He's 211 00:11:48,120 --> 00:11:50,120 Speaker 1: in his third year. What did they give him? Five 212 00:11:50,559 --> 00:11:53,400 Speaker 1: million dollars? Is that his contract? It almost looks like 213 00:11:53,400 --> 00:12:00,000 Speaker 1: a discount short of some absolutely crazy stuff. Um Tyree 214 00:12:00,080 --> 00:12:02,720 Speaker 1: Kill kicked out of the league. Andy Reid just decided 215 00:12:02,760 --> 00:12:04,920 Speaker 1: to retire and wear Hawaiian shirts for the rest of 216 00:12:04,920 --> 00:12:07,920 Speaker 1: his life and in Key West. I don't know what's 217 00:12:07,920 --> 00:12:12,120 Speaker 1: stopping Patrick Mahomes from being the greatest quarterback in the 218 00:12:12,160 --> 00:12:14,400 Speaker 1: history of the league. And it's weird. We just watched 219 00:12:14,440 --> 00:12:19,280 Speaker 1: Tom Brady and he's forty three. Momes is years old. 220 00:12:19,559 --> 00:12:22,600 Speaker 1: It's crazy. Uh. Papa Homes at the second greatest story 221 00:12:22,880 --> 00:12:26,200 Speaker 1: in the NFL Sunday now the third greatest story. Uh. 222 00:12:26,240 --> 00:12:28,160 Speaker 1: And I think I like this one a little more 223 00:12:28,520 --> 00:12:30,240 Speaker 1: than a lot of people. But this idea of a 224 00:12:30,320 --> 00:12:35,240 Speaker 1: COVID bubble for each NFL team, to me is fascinating 225 00:12:35,400 --> 00:12:37,679 Speaker 1: because we've seen a Baltimore Ravens team and we'll talk 226 00:12:37,679 --> 00:12:41,559 Speaker 1: about them a little more on tomorrow's podcast. Twenty two 227 00:12:41,600 --> 00:12:45,760 Speaker 1: players at last check on the COVID list. I counted 228 00:12:46,679 --> 00:12:53,280 Speaker 1: seven starters from the Baltimore Ravens offense have COVID not 229 00:12:53,440 --> 00:12:56,439 Speaker 1: on the contact trace list. They haven't. They're out, Okay, 230 00:12:56,440 --> 00:13:00,319 Speaker 1: they tested positive seven starters of eleven. Obviously, to play 231 00:13:00,360 --> 00:13:02,640 Speaker 1: a game with that, it's gonna be practice squad, guys. 232 00:13:03,040 --> 00:13:06,079 Speaker 1: And I think this was the weekend that opened the 233 00:13:06,160 --> 00:13:09,800 Speaker 1: NFL's two eyes to Hey, guys, we gotta bubble up 234 00:13:10,320 --> 00:13:13,800 Speaker 1: because we're seeing Thanksgiving weekend and this is the this 235 00:13:13,880 --> 00:13:17,840 Speaker 1: is the theme COVID coming out of Thanksgiving weekend nationally unfortunately, 236 00:13:17,880 --> 00:13:19,480 Speaker 1: looks like probably COVID is gonna be big, a lot 237 00:13:19,520 --> 00:13:22,760 Speaker 1: of people traveling. Well, what do you think is gonna 238 00:13:22,760 --> 00:13:27,640 Speaker 1: happen Christmas Week? Okay, Christmas Week lines up with Week sixteen. 239 00:13:27,720 --> 00:13:29,880 Speaker 1: I've checked the schedule. There is a Christmas Day game 240 00:13:30,000 --> 00:13:32,200 Speaker 1: Viking Saints should be a good one. Uh, and then 241 00:13:32,240 --> 00:13:36,560 Speaker 1: there's games Week seventeen is January three. When you factor 242 00:13:36,600 --> 00:13:39,440 Speaker 1: in Christmas New Year's Eve. I would assume people are 243 00:13:39,440 --> 00:13:41,840 Speaker 1: gonna be smart for New Year's Eve, but you know 244 00:13:41,880 --> 00:13:43,840 Speaker 1: what happens when you assume, you make an ass of 245 00:13:43,920 --> 00:13:48,200 Speaker 1: you and me. And I do believe the NFL would 246 00:13:48,200 --> 00:13:52,199 Speaker 1: be smart to have the definitely have the best teams, 247 00:13:52,200 --> 00:13:54,880 Speaker 1: but also the you know they also rans the jet stink, 248 00:13:55,000 --> 00:13:57,000 Speaker 1: but they need to be in a bubble because they're out, 249 00:13:57,120 --> 00:13:59,040 Speaker 1: you can't play the game. I think you've got to 250 00:13:59,040 --> 00:14:01,840 Speaker 1: have every team bubble up in a hotel, probably for 251 00:14:01,880 --> 00:14:04,679 Speaker 1: the final four weeks. It's gonna be expensive, but it's 252 00:14:04,679 --> 00:14:07,440 Speaker 1: gonna have to be done um heading into the playoffs, 253 00:14:07,480 --> 00:14:11,040 Speaker 1: because you you can't have what unfolded in Denver, where 254 00:14:11,280 --> 00:14:14,560 Speaker 1: one quarterback tested positive and due to contact tracing because 255 00:14:14,600 --> 00:14:17,000 Speaker 1: nobody was wearing their mask in the room, they had 256 00:14:17,520 --> 00:14:21,160 Speaker 1: no quarterback available. You can't have that for a playoff game. 257 00:14:21,480 --> 00:14:24,720 Speaker 1: It's just unacceptable that cannot happen. I mean, for instance, 258 00:14:24,720 --> 00:14:28,720 Speaker 1: the Colts this week, folks, Um, they're leading running back, 259 00:14:29,040 --> 00:14:33,360 Speaker 1: leading rusher, Jonathan Taylor COVID. His girlfriend tested or was 260 00:14:33,440 --> 00:14:35,880 Speaker 1: like in contact tracing or had some kind of contact 261 00:14:35,880 --> 00:14:39,520 Speaker 1: with someone. So Jonathan Taylor, Liza her he's out. They're 262 00:14:39,560 --> 00:14:42,480 Speaker 1: not playing him. Their best run stopper to Forrest Buckner, 263 00:14:42,800 --> 00:14:46,400 Speaker 1: COVID out. Derrick Henry has a monster day, had like 264 00:14:46,440 --> 00:14:49,760 Speaker 1: a buck fifty in the first half. Um, and the 265 00:14:49,840 --> 00:14:51,800 Speaker 1: Colt they got their doors kicked in. It was it 266 00:14:51,840 --> 00:14:54,760 Speaker 1: was ugly. Colt Scott destroyed. They were missing five starters, 267 00:14:54,800 --> 00:14:57,880 Speaker 1: some COVID, some injury. But again, we can't have this 268 00:14:57,920 --> 00:15:01,640 Speaker 1: stuff in the playoffs. I don't want my NFL playoffs. 269 00:15:01,800 --> 00:15:06,880 Speaker 1: Plus the NFL you know the league partners, UH Commissioner 270 00:15:06,920 --> 00:15:09,320 Speaker 1: that nobody wants the playoffs ruined by COVID. So I 271 00:15:09,320 --> 00:15:12,520 Speaker 1: think this idea of a COVID bubble every team in 272 00:15:12,520 --> 00:15:15,960 Speaker 1: a hotel lockdown is going to work. Players won't like it, 273 00:15:15,960 --> 00:15:19,440 Speaker 1: but guys, it's four weeks come on. UM. And my 274 00:15:19,640 --> 00:15:25,560 Speaker 1: final big story, UM that that I don't know how 275 00:15:25,600 --> 00:15:28,880 Speaker 1: you get around this Week twelve in the NFL is 276 00:15:29,720 --> 00:15:33,400 Speaker 1: underdogs and their dominance obviously before Sunday Night football and 277 00:15:33,440 --> 00:15:39,480 Speaker 1: the Packers Bears Laugher. UM. Underdogs totally dominated in Week twelve. 278 00:15:39,600 --> 00:15:42,280 Speaker 1: And you know, I made a couple of mistakes, a 279 00:15:42,280 --> 00:15:44,840 Speaker 1: couple of late mistakes. I love Tennessee. I think we 280 00:15:44,920 --> 00:15:47,400 Speaker 1: talked about it on the podcast. I ultimately backed off 281 00:15:47,400 --> 00:15:50,560 Speaker 1: of them like an idiot. UM. I really liked Atlanta 282 00:15:50,600 --> 00:15:54,280 Speaker 1: against Rob G's Raiders. I saw Julio Jones probably not 283 00:15:54,360 --> 00:15:55,960 Speaker 1: gonna play, then didn't play. I said, oh, I'm not 284 00:15:56,000 --> 00:16:00,760 Speaker 1: backing them. They kill kill kill thes. We'll get to 285 00:16:00,800 --> 00:16:04,160 Speaker 1: that in a second. UM. And I settled on some 286 00:16:04,160 --> 00:16:07,160 Speaker 1: some big favorites. And in the final three minutes, you know, 287 00:16:07,240 --> 00:16:09,400 Speaker 1: the Browns get denied on what I thought was a 288 00:16:09,560 --> 00:16:11,840 Speaker 1: job awful call by the refs on fourth and one 289 00:16:12,320 --> 00:16:14,680 Speaker 1: and Mike Glennan goes the link to the field for 290 00:16:14,800 --> 00:16:16,960 Speaker 1: a touchdown and like like two minutes left, and of 291 00:16:16,960 --> 00:16:19,920 Speaker 1: course there was a total bullshit call, a late hit 292 00:16:19,920 --> 00:16:22,200 Speaker 1: on the quarterback on fourth and ten after they got 293 00:16:22,200 --> 00:16:24,680 Speaker 1: to stop and come on, it felt like the game 294 00:16:24,720 --> 00:16:27,920 Speaker 1: was rigged. I was livid, um. And then of course 295 00:16:27,960 --> 00:16:31,000 Speaker 1: the New York Giants, Uh, they let Brandon Allen on 296 00:16:31,040 --> 00:16:33,880 Speaker 1: the Bengals do absolutely nothing. All the Bengals got all 297 00:16:33,920 --> 00:16:36,720 Speaker 1: game long was a kickoff return for a touchdown. Giants 298 00:16:36,760 --> 00:16:39,640 Speaker 1: dominated that game, soup the nuts. They fumbled in the 299 00:16:39,640 --> 00:16:43,360 Speaker 1: red zone. Still lad nineteen ten and the fourth quarterly 300 00:16:43,800 --> 00:16:46,840 Speaker 1: five minutes left, and then they get two flukey calls 301 00:16:47,440 --> 00:16:49,720 Speaker 1: and like a twenty yard play and boomed the Bengal 302 00:16:49,840 --> 00:16:52,200 Speaker 1: score and back door me and you know it was 303 00:16:52,240 --> 00:16:54,680 Speaker 1: a tough lad guys. Luckily the Saints came through the 304 00:16:54,680 --> 00:16:57,680 Speaker 1: easiest game of the weekend. But um, I just got 305 00:16:57,800 --> 00:17:00,200 Speaker 1: the underdogs in the NFL are crushing this year, and 306 00:17:00,600 --> 00:17:02,520 Speaker 1: I didn't have a lot of dogs this weekend, rob g. 307 00:17:02,680 --> 00:17:05,520 Speaker 1: I want to quickly get your thoughts on your Raiders, 308 00:17:05,760 --> 00:17:08,679 Speaker 1: who you know, coming into this game, look like a 309 00:17:08,720 --> 00:17:14,080 Speaker 1: team that was competitive. Derek Carr was having a fantastic season. Um, 310 00:17:14,119 --> 00:17:17,520 Speaker 1: everything was going right for your Raiders. What do they want? They? 311 00:17:17,800 --> 00:17:19,840 Speaker 1: You know, the competitive against the Chiefs, they had won 312 00:17:20,359 --> 00:17:24,040 Speaker 1: three or four. They're only losses were you know, the 313 00:17:24,119 --> 00:17:26,320 Speaker 1: last the real losses were to the Bills. There's a 314 00:17:26,320 --> 00:17:28,920 Speaker 1: playoff team nine and two. They lost to Tom Brady 315 00:17:28,920 --> 00:17:31,320 Speaker 1: in the books, they lost to My Homes acceptable, and 316 00:17:31,359 --> 00:17:35,240 Speaker 1: then they come out and get embarrassed by the Falcons. 317 00:17:35,240 --> 00:17:37,400 Speaker 1: What do you have to say about your team. There's 318 00:17:37,400 --> 00:17:39,320 Speaker 1: no excuses to be made. I mean, they just didn't 319 00:17:39,320 --> 00:17:41,639 Speaker 1: show up. And and it was frustrating because during the 320 00:17:41,680 --> 00:17:44,160 Speaker 1: broadcast you heard them on CBS talking about how well, 321 00:17:44,200 --> 00:17:46,600 Speaker 1: you know, they change their their practice schedule to practice 322 00:17:46,600 --> 00:17:48,440 Speaker 1: in the morning this season, they could be better prepared 323 00:17:48,840 --> 00:17:51,880 Speaker 1: for these East Coast early games. And then they show 324 00:17:51,960 --> 00:17:56,000 Speaker 1: up in Atlanta and it's like they completely forgot. Everything 325 00:17:56,000 --> 00:17:58,480 Speaker 1: they did against Kansas City made it successful, and it 326 00:17:58,560 --> 00:18:01,880 Speaker 1: was just penalties. It was you know, poor I mean, 327 00:18:01,920 --> 00:18:04,080 Speaker 1: Derek Carr's got small hands or whatever. He kept fumbling 328 00:18:04,119 --> 00:18:07,639 Speaker 1: the football. You know, Josh Jacobs, you know, trucks some 329 00:18:07,680 --> 00:18:09,960 Speaker 1: guy into oblivion and they called the targeting penalty and 330 00:18:09,960 --> 00:18:13,399 Speaker 1: he got white. So it was just a series of 331 00:18:13,480 --> 00:18:16,480 Speaker 1: things that went wrong. And surprisingly enough, their defense actually 332 00:18:16,600 --> 00:18:19,000 Speaker 1: uh held firm for a quarter and a half, which 333 00:18:19,080 --> 00:18:21,560 Speaker 1: was incredible, and then it was just too many turnover. 334 00:18:21,600 --> 00:18:22,680 Speaker 1: It was to the rough game. It was one of 335 00:18:22,720 --> 00:18:25,480 Speaker 1: those games where I said on Twitter that I was 336 00:18:25,480 --> 00:18:27,160 Speaker 1: watching it on at the lay because of the stream. 337 00:18:27,200 --> 00:18:28,920 Speaker 1: It was like two minutes behind, so I was staying 338 00:18:28,960 --> 00:18:30,960 Speaker 1: off Twitter. And then like middle of the third quarter, 339 00:18:31,080 --> 00:18:32,040 Speaker 1: like you know what, I'm good, I go back on 340 00:18:32,040 --> 00:18:33,919 Speaker 1: Twitter like we're I'm not really missing much on this 341 00:18:33,920 --> 00:18:38,360 Speaker 1: one anymore, So we move on. I I gotta say 342 00:18:38,359 --> 00:18:41,400 Speaker 1: I saw an incredible stat that's probably gonna break your heart, 343 00:18:41,760 --> 00:18:49,840 Speaker 1: but the Raiders had eleven penalties, one penalty yards, five turnovers, 344 00:18:50,160 --> 00:18:53,600 Speaker 1: were sacked five times, and gave up forty three points. 345 00:18:54,600 --> 00:18:58,960 Speaker 1: Since nineteen forty, no NFL team had hit those thresholds 346 00:18:59,040 --> 00:19:02,160 Speaker 1: in a single game. And I know that's a lot 347 00:19:02,200 --> 00:19:04,679 Speaker 1: of stuff baked, a lot of penalties, but it is 348 00:19:04,720 --> 00:19:09,040 Speaker 1: basically like a complete meltdown, like total in every facet 349 00:19:09,080 --> 00:19:11,760 Speaker 1: of the game. And I mean, does that worry you 350 00:19:11,800 --> 00:19:16,120 Speaker 1: at all going forward? Given the New York Jets are 351 00:19:16,160 --> 00:19:18,200 Speaker 1: on the horizon for your Raiders and no, we will 352 00:19:18,240 --> 00:19:20,160 Speaker 1: not have his side. Bet, I'm sorry, I'm not doing well. 353 00:19:20,240 --> 00:19:23,520 Speaker 1: You know that? Um what and what started their downfall 354 00:19:23,600 --> 00:19:25,480 Speaker 1: last season was the loss of the Jets. So it's 355 00:19:25,520 --> 00:19:28,000 Speaker 1: kind of interesting that it's happening again. But you know what, 356 00:19:28,040 --> 00:19:29,800 Speaker 1: it's one of those games, like you mentioned, it was 357 00:19:29,880 --> 00:19:34,480 Speaker 1: such a all time bad performance, it's hard to take 358 00:19:34,520 --> 00:19:36,520 Speaker 1: a whole lot from it. Like I'd be more upset. 359 00:19:37,040 --> 00:19:39,240 Speaker 1: And I was actually watching this game at my brother 360 00:19:39,280 --> 00:19:41,280 Speaker 1: in law's house yesterday was what. He's a big Rams fan, 361 00:19:41,760 --> 00:19:43,399 Speaker 1: so we had the Rams on the big TV against 362 00:19:43,400 --> 00:19:46,040 Speaker 1: the Niners. I would have been more upset if the 363 00:19:46,160 --> 00:19:49,080 Speaker 1: Raiders lost the game like the way the Rams did, 364 00:19:49,320 --> 00:19:52,040 Speaker 1: where your team that's not going anywhere, you're in first 365 00:19:52,040 --> 00:19:55,359 Speaker 1: place contention, and it's not that you didn't just play bad. 366 00:19:55,480 --> 00:19:58,359 Speaker 1: It was just like you had it there. You you 367 00:19:58,359 --> 00:20:00,080 Speaker 1: even got the lead late in the fourth quarter, you 368 00:20:00,119 --> 00:20:02,639 Speaker 1: still blew it like the Raiders just didn't show up. 369 00:20:02,640 --> 00:20:05,080 Speaker 1: So it's easier to kind of dismiss a loss that's 370 00:20:05,160 --> 00:20:07,240 Speaker 1: that bad rather than one where you have it and 371 00:20:07,280 --> 00:20:08,840 Speaker 1: you shouldn't blow it and you still find a way 372 00:20:08,840 --> 00:20:10,320 Speaker 1: to blow it. So I think that that wasn't too 373 00:20:10,320 --> 00:20:13,439 Speaker 1: bad for me, all right. So that kind of wraps 374 00:20:13,560 --> 00:20:16,880 Speaker 1: up Week twelve in the NFL. You know, the playoff 375 00:20:16,960 --> 00:20:21,320 Speaker 1: pictures becoming a little more clear, and I gotta say 376 00:20:21,440 --> 00:20:24,480 Speaker 1: at this point. UM, A couple of teams. I mean, 377 00:20:24,520 --> 00:20:28,440 Speaker 1: there's really only four Super Bowl contenders, right the Pittsburgh Steelers, UM, 378 00:20:28,600 --> 00:20:32,800 Speaker 1: Kansas City Chiefs. I. I gotta be honest, I don't 379 00:20:32,800 --> 00:20:35,560 Speaker 1: know if there's anyone else in the a f C 380 00:20:35,680 --> 00:20:38,240 Speaker 1: that I would consider a legit Super Bowl contender? Would 381 00:20:38,240 --> 00:20:40,680 Speaker 1: you the Buffalo Bills in that group? No? And I 382 00:20:41,200 --> 00:20:44,320 Speaker 1: said before the season, I had the Packers and the Chiefs, 383 00:20:44,359 --> 00:20:47,040 Speaker 1: So I feel good about those two teams at least 384 00:20:47,280 --> 00:20:48,879 Speaker 1: when it came down to the Actually this season, with 385 00:20:48,920 --> 00:20:51,600 Speaker 1: COVID and and teams not having training camp things like that, 386 00:20:51,720 --> 00:20:54,840 Speaker 1: is you wanted some continuity, and I think that you're seeing. 387 00:20:54,840 --> 00:20:56,439 Speaker 1: The teams that are rising to the top are the 388 00:20:56,440 --> 00:20:58,160 Speaker 1: ones that have kind of been together for a little 389 00:20:58,200 --> 00:21:00,760 Speaker 1: while and they can kind of get through these rough 390 00:21:00,840 --> 00:21:03,600 Speaker 1: waters not being able to practice every day, having a 391 00:21:03,680 --> 00:21:05,639 Speaker 1: zoom call everything. So I think you're seeing that kind 392 00:21:05,680 --> 00:21:07,879 Speaker 1: of rise to the top. UM. One thing I did 393 00:21:08,000 --> 00:21:10,200 Speaker 1: want to ask you about, though, is you mentioned Matt 394 00:21:10,240 --> 00:21:13,960 Speaker 1: Patricia getting fired on Saturday. On Sunday, the Jags fired 395 00:21:14,000 --> 00:21:16,639 Speaker 1: their GM, and I'm assuming that they may cut ties 396 00:21:16,680 --> 00:21:19,359 Speaker 1: with their coach too once the new GM comes in 397 00:21:19,359 --> 00:21:25,359 Speaker 1: so right now we have four coaching vacancies open Falcons, Texans, Lions, 398 00:21:25,440 --> 00:21:30,360 Speaker 1: Jets and Jets is technically not all you know, it's 399 00:21:30,400 --> 00:21:37,280 Speaker 1: the worst Can Okay and potentially Jags. I'm assuming athlete's 400 00:21:37,280 --> 00:21:40,000 Speaker 1: gonna fire with the Chargers, and again kind of like 401 00:21:40,040 --> 00:21:41,800 Speaker 1: Adam Gates, it's only a matter of time before Matt 402 00:21:41,840 --> 00:21:46,399 Speaker 1: Nagie gets fired with the Bears. So of those was 403 00:21:46,440 --> 00:21:49,280 Speaker 1: that seven teams, which one do you think are most 404 00:21:49,680 --> 00:21:53,320 Speaker 1: attractive least attractive? As we head down the home stretch. Well, 405 00:21:53,359 --> 00:21:55,480 Speaker 1: I listen, I gott to remove the Jets from this 406 00:21:55,520 --> 00:21:57,280 Speaker 1: because I'm a Homer, and I would say the Jet, 407 00:21:57,400 --> 00:21:59,719 Speaker 1: you get the number one pick, Trevor Lawrence, you get 408 00:21:59,760 --> 00:22:01,600 Speaker 1: a out of cap room. They don't have a lot 409 00:22:01,600 --> 00:22:04,320 Speaker 1: of other talent. But I'd much rather take the Jets 410 00:22:04,320 --> 00:22:07,479 Speaker 1: than the like the Houston Texans. I like Deshaun Watson, 411 00:22:07,480 --> 00:22:11,200 Speaker 1: but that team, that roster has no talent um, especially 412 00:22:11,240 --> 00:22:13,960 Speaker 1: on defense. Falcons. You know, h he Morris is doing 413 00:22:14,000 --> 00:22:17,440 Speaker 1: well four and two, uh since taken over. I don't 414 00:22:17,480 --> 00:22:19,600 Speaker 1: personally think he's gonna get it. It sounds like b 415 00:22:19,760 --> 00:22:22,879 Speaker 1: enemy might be in the mix there. They've got talent, 416 00:22:23,040 --> 00:22:26,760 Speaker 1: but that division, and I don't know, it feels like 417 00:22:26,800 --> 00:22:29,440 Speaker 1: a snake bitten franchise since that Super Bowl loss. I mean, 418 00:22:29,800 --> 00:22:32,680 Speaker 1: they should be better than they are. But I guess 419 00:22:32,720 --> 00:22:35,440 Speaker 1: it's a pretty good job Detroit Lions. I think I 420 00:22:35,440 --> 00:22:38,160 Speaker 1: would take the Lions job over the Falcons. People laugh. 421 00:22:38,640 --> 00:22:40,959 Speaker 1: I mean, you look at the age and the talent 422 00:22:41,040 --> 00:22:43,199 Speaker 1: of the first round picks, and the Detroit Lions are 423 00:22:43,200 --> 00:22:46,120 Speaker 1: loaded with talent. Now, the problem is Patricia was trying 424 00:22:46,160 --> 00:22:48,680 Speaker 1: to scheme up with Belichick had so the next guy. 425 00:22:49,000 --> 00:22:51,600 Speaker 1: If he doesn't like that, the man like the bum 426 00:22:51,720 --> 00:22:55,720 Speaker 1: rush for don't blitz drop in a man coverage. If 427 00:22:55,720 --> 00:22:57,479 Speaker 1: he doesn't like that, then you're gonna have to totally 428 00:22:57,560 --> 00:23:01,000 Speaker 1: like rejigger the roster um. But ultimately, I like Swift 429 00:23:01,000 --> 00:23:03,399 Speaker 1: a lot. You're gonna have to resign holiday Lions have talent. 430 00:23:03,880 --> 00:23:06,679 Speaker 1: Jacks is Uh, that's a tough one there. There are 431 00:23:06,680 --> 00:23:10,359 Speaker 1: a few years away. I actually think the Chargers have 432 00:23:10,520 --> 00:23:13,080 Speaker 1: the best head coaching opening in the league. Justin Herbert 433 00:23:13,200 --> 00:23:17,720 Speaker 1: once again delivering. Uh Mike Williams, Keenan Allen, Austin Ekeler, 434 00:23:17,800 --> 00:23:19,840 Speaker 1: did you see if his first game back? Guy's been 435 00:23:19,840 --> 00:23:23,200 Speaker 1: out like eight weeks and he's utterly dominant against the Bills. 436 00:23:23,720 --> 00:23:26,639 Speaker 1: Um Joey Bosa on the defense. The defense needs some 437 00:23:26,680 --> 00:23:29,880 Speaker 1: work still, but overall, I would say the Charger's job 438 00:23:30,440 --> 00:23:33,040 Speaker 1: is the best. The Bears feel like they're light years 439 00:23:33,080 --> 00:23:36,760 Speaker 1: away from competing. There's so little talent on that team, 440 00:23:36,800 --> 00:23:38,880 Speaker 1: and the Denver Broncos as well. They need a quarterback. 441 00:23:38,920 --> 00:23:42,119 Speaker 1: I don't know if Fongio gets fired, but it sounds 442 00:23:42,160 --> 00:23:45,159 Speaker 1: like he might. Bengals have something to work with with Burrow, 443 00:23:45,200 --> 00:23:49,160 Speaker 1: but you know, their offensive line is very, very shaky, 444 00:23:49,040 --> 00:23:51,960 Speaker 1: their defense lacks talent. I guess I would rank it 445 00:23:52,119 --> 00:23:57,320 Speaker 1: Chargers one, Jets two, Lions three. I'm actually right there 446 00:23:57,320 --> 00:23:59,080 Speaker 1: with you, And it's funny that we both You mentioned 447 00:23:59,160 --> 00:24:02,600 Speaker 1: at the top that the Texans job doesn't seem that 448 00:24:02,640 --> 00:24:04,760 Speaker 1: all attractive to you, and I would agree. And even 449 00:24:04,800 --> 00:24:07,359 Speaker 1: though I think Deshaun Watson is far and away the 450 00:24:07,400 --> 00:24:10,120 Speaker 1: best player in that group, because you know, we still 451 00:24:10,119 --> 00:24:13,199 Speaker 1: don't know what Trevor Lawrence is gonna be yet. But um, 452 00:24:13,320 --> 00:24:15,959 Speaker 1: with Justin Herbert, we've seen plenty of guys have one 453 00:24:16,000 --> 00:24:18,199 Speaker 1: great season and then kind of taper off, and I 454 00:24:18,200 --> 00:24:20,360 Speaker 1: feel like Deshaun Watson has kind of proven that he's 455 00:24:20,400 --> 00:24:24,800 Speaker 1: at least a upper third, maybe top ten ish quarterback, 456 00:24:24,840 --> 00:24:27,440 Speaker 1: maybe hired, depending what you think about him, But there's 457 00:24:27,480 --> 00:24:30,439 Speaker 1: something about that roster. Even watching them on on Thanksgiving 458 00:24:30,480 --> 00:24:33,720 Speaker 1: against what was the Lions, I wasn't impressed at all 459 00:24:33,760 --> 00:24:35,960 Speaker 1: with really what I saw from them and in any way, 460 00:24:36,000 --> 00:24:38,719 Speaker 1: shape or form. And I don't know. They don't have 461 00:24:38,760 --> 00:24:41,200 Speaker 1: any draft picks to really get any better around them, 462 00:24:41,240 --> 00:24:44,320 Speaker 1: and the division is only getting better with the Titans 463 00:24:44,320 --> 00:24:46,880 Speaker 1: and the Colts, and eventually the Colts are gonna get 464 00:24:46,880 --> 00:24:49,640 Speaker 1: a quarterback there too, So I don't know if that 465 00:24:49,760 --> 00:24:51,720 Speaker 1: is as attractive of a job as I think people 466 00:24:51,800 --> 00:24:54,600 Speaker 1: think on Twitter because of Deshaun Watson. Yeah, I know 467 00:24:54,640 --> 00:24:57,479 Speaker 1: agree with you. Um, By the way, I would keep 468 00:24:57,480 --> 00:24:59,440 Speaker 1: an eye on betting on the Lions this week. Um, 469 00:25:00,200 --> 00:25:02,120 Speaker 1: you saw so many people, and I know you watch 470 00:25:02,200 --> 00:25:06,520 Speaker 1: the social media rob so many former Lions and current 471 00:25:06,600 --> 00:25:10,520 Speaker 1: Lions chiming in on Patricia and you wonder all those 472 00:25:10,520 --> 00:25:13,040 Speaker 1: guys who were on the injury list, are they gonna 473 00:25:13,080 --> 00:25:15,320 Speaker 1: all of a sudden, Okay, I'm better, I'm better, I'm 474 00:25:15,320 --> 00:25:16,960 Speaker 1: ready to go. Are we gonna see any of that? 475 00:25:17,000 --> 00:25:19,639 Speaker 1: I don't If we start to see, hey, Kenny Golladay 476 00:25:19,720 --> 00:25:22,680 Speaker 1: is a full go he's it, you gotta, you gotta. 477 00:25:22,760 --> 00:25:25,120 Speaker 1: There's a talent on that team. Uh. And maybe Patricia 478 00:25:25,200 --> 00:25:29,080 Speaker 1: was the problem. Um Yeah that Uh, it's an ugly 479 00:25:29,119 --> 00:25:33,919 Speaker 1: situation in Detroit. Um. Also quick note, how about the 480 00:25:33,960 --> 00:25:38,359 Speaker 1: Arizona Cardinals. Man, my Cardinals took the playoffs? Ticket is 481 00:25:38,400 --> 00:25:42,280 Speaker 1: in jeopardy because Cliff Kingsbury. What the hell is he doing? Uh? 482 00:25:42,280 --> 00:25:45,320 Speaker 1: In the rookie Isaiah Simmons with an idiotic fifteen yard 483 00:25:45,400 --> 00:25:47,879 Speaker 1: late hit penalty on Cam Newton. They're in the final 484 00:25:47,960 --> 00:25:50,760 Speaker 1: like forty five seconds, helping gift them a fifty yard 485 00:25:50,760 --> 00:25:53,320 Speaker 1: field goal. I mean, the Cardinals are way better than 486 00:25:53,359 --> 00:25:55,920 Speaker 1: their six and five record indicates. Man, I gotta say 487 00:25:56,000 --> 00:25:58,760 Speaker 1: Kingsbury left up the end of the first half. You know, 488 00:25:58,800 --> 00:26:01,760 Speaker 1: they end up getting a touchdown pulled on third down 489 00:26:02,000 --> 00:26:04,120 Speaker 1: and then they fail on fourth down going into the half, 490 00:26:04,119 --> 00:26:07,160 Speaker 1: no points, open the second half and get nothing. I mean, 491 00:26:07,200 --> 00:26:11,960 Speaker 1: it's like unbelievable. Kingsbury is really struggling. He's got an 492 00:26:12,040 --> 00:26:15,320 Speaker 1: unleashed Kyler. Man, are you surprised that Cliff Kingsbury, who 493 00:26:15,320 --> 00:26:18,560 Speaker 1: got fired from his alma matering college, is struggling in 494 00:26:18,720 --> 00:26:22,479 Speaker 1: the NFL. Yeah, it's the it's the in game stuff, 495 00:26:22,520 --> 00:26:26,639 Speaker 1: it's the in the red zone stuff. I don't know 496 00:26:26,640 --> 00:26:28,879 Speaker 1: what to time. I mean, he's got Hopkins, he's got Drake, 497 00:26:29,520 --> 00:26:34,120 Speaker 1: he's got Murray, they got talent um. Yeah that that 498 00:26:34,240 --> 00:26:36,240 Speaker 1: concerns me a little bit. But they're not gonna do anything. 499 00:26:36,240 --> 00:26:38,720 Speaker 1: That duo is way too strong. Kingsbury has just got 500 00:26:38,720 --> 00:26:40,919 Speaker 1: to be better. It's got to stay aggressive, but in 501 00:26:40,960 --> 00:26:43,840 Speaker 1: a smart way. If he had just and I'm okay 502 00:26:43,880 --> 00:26:45,280 Speaker 1: going for it on fourth and one from the one, 503 00:26:45,359 --> 00:26:48,280 Speaker 1: but if he's settled for three, you get the ball 504 00:26:48,320 --> 00:26:51,560 Speaker 1: back first second half, and you can call plays differently 505 00:26:51,800 --> 00:26:55,520 Speaker 1: when you're up six as opposed to three. Right, Okay, 506 00:26:55,520 --> 00:26:57,240 Speaker 1: hey let's get another field goal. We got a two 507 00:26:57,240 --> 00:26:59,960 Speaker 1: score lead, you could I just it was the minds. 508 00:27:00,000 --> 00:27:02,639 Speaker 1: It It was so deflating. Drake like refused to go 509 00:27:02,680 --> 00:27:04,959 Speaker 1: to the locker room. He was so stunned that they 510 00:27:04,960 --> 00:27:06,960 Speaker 1: took the touchdown away from it. He was just like 511 00:27:07,000 --> 00:27:10,400 Speaker 1: standing there, dumbfounded. And you could tell that stuff carries over. 512 00:27:11,000 --> 00:27:13,080 Speaker 1: I forget who it is, but somebody loves to talk 513 00:27:13,119 --> 00:27:16,320 Speaker 1: about the final four minutes of the half and the 514 00:27:16,359 --> 00:27:18,400 Speaker 1: first four minutes of the second half. If you can 515 00:27:18,520 --> 00:27:23,159 Speaker 1: win that that time, it's a big mindset deal and 516 00:27:23,200 --> 00:27:25,800 Speaker 1: it really can have a huge impact on the game. 517 00:27:26,000 --> 00:27:28,080 Speaker 1: You go into the locker room strong, you come out 518 00:27:28,119 --> 00:27:31,679 Speaker 1: of the locker room strong. It's gonna be indicative of 519 00:27:31,680 --> 00:27:33,840 Speaker 1: a winning team, and we did not see that at 520 00:27:33,880 --> 00:27:36,600 Speaker 1: all from the Cardinals on Sunday. Well, speaking of winning 521 00:27:36,600 --> 00:27:38,040 Speaker 1: teams and Sorr, I mean to cut you off again. 522 00:27:38,080 --> 00:27:39,479 Speaker 1: I know that we got the best bet coming up. 523 00:27:39,480 --> 00:27:41,200 Speaker 1: I know that you're really anxious to get back in 524 00:27:41,240 --> 00:27:43,719 Speaker 1: the winning ways. But you know, I think it kind 525 00:27:43,800 --> 00:27:45,000 Speaker 1: of a a good tie in there because we didn't get 526 00:27:45,000 --> 00:27:46,760 Speaker 1: too much into the Sunday night game but obvious reasons 527 00:27:46,760 --> 00:27:49,080 Speaker 1: a blowout. But you know, Monday Night we got the Eagles, 528 00:27:49,080 --> 00:27:51,000 Speaker 1: and in both cases you had Matt n Aggie of 529 00:27:51,040 --> 00:27:54,600 Speaker 1: the Bears, Doug Peterson of the Eagles, both guys Andy 530 00:27:54,680 --> 00:27:58,800 Speaker 1: Reid disciples who have kind of really been exposed. I 531 00:27:58,840 --> 00:28:01,440 Speaker 1: would say the last year and a half two seasons 532 00:28:01,640 --> 00:28:06,400 Speaker 1: absolutely that they've just been disappointing, to say the least 533 00:28:06,400 --> 00:28:10,720 Speaker 1: as play callers and offensive gurus. Do you think that 534 00:28:10,880 --> 00:28:15,359 Speaker 1: come offseason coaching carousel with Eric the enemy because he 535 00:28:15,400 --> 00:28:17,240 Speaker 1: doesn't call though most of the play. I don't think 536 00:28:17,240 --> 00:28:18,800 Speaker 1: he calls any place, to be honest with you, in 537 00:28:18,880 --> 00:28:21,040 Speaker 1: Kansas State, and maybe he has a role in the 538 00:28:21,040 --> 00:28:24,159 Speaker 1: game plan, but I'm almost positive that Andy Reid is 539 00:28:24,200 --> 00:28:27,199 Speaker 1: actually the one calling the plays in Kansas City. Do 540 00:28:27,320 --> 00:28:30,159 Speaker 1: you think that there's gonna be a GM or an 541 00:28:30,200 --> 00:28:34,359 Speaker 1: owner who says, yeah, you know, Matt the enemy was 542 00:28:34,400 --> 00:28:36,240 Speaker 1: good with my homes, but look it's my homes. He's 543 00:28:36,280 --> 00:28:38,360 Speaker 1: really good. And if you look back at these last 544 00:28:38,360 --> 00:28:40,960 Speaker 1: two Andy Reid guys, like, what are they doing? Do 545 00:28:41,040 --> 00:28:46,080 Speaker 1: you think this is gonna hurt him? Come interesting? So, 546 00:28:47,480 --> 00:28:52,800 Speaker 1: I mean, Naggie had success out of the gate in Chicago. Um, 547 00:28:52,880 --> 00:28:57,040 Speaker 1: but but he wasn't actually successful as an offensive coach. 548 00:28:57,480 --> 00:28:59,680 Speaker 1: It was just their defense was so good. Defense was 549 00:28:59,800 --> 00:29:03,000 Speaker 1: so good with Khalil Mack. Yeah, and that helped Maserati 550 00:29:03,080 --> 00:29:08,000 Speaker 1: Mitch Rabinsky deliver a little bit right, And I guess 551 00:29:08,520 --> 00:29:11,440 Speaker 1: you could if you look at his offense. He his 552 00:29:11,520 --> 00:29:14,400 Speaker 1: argument people, I never got my quarterback. Well, I mean, 553 00:29:14,560 --> 00:29:18,400 Speaker 1: who drafted miss Robinsky, you know, in the top ten? 554 00:29:18,880 --> 00:29:21,280 Speaker 1: Like that was don you guys? You made that decision. 555 00:29:21,520 --> 00:29:23,680 Speaker 1: The front office and the coach, they should kind of 556 00:29:23,680 --> 00:29:30,440 Speaker 1: be aligned. Um, Listen, it's it's tough for a lot 557 00:29:30,480 --> 00:29:32,480 Speaker 1: of these assistants. You look at all the Belichick guys, 558 00:29:32,520 --> 00:29:33,840 Speaker 1: I don't know who the hell is gonna want to 559 00:29:33,880 --> 00:29:39,000 Speaker 1: hire Josh McDaniels, given every single Patriots assistant has gone 560 00:29:39,040 --> 00:29:41,800 Speaker 1: on to fail under from Belichick. Like, it's tough when 561 00:29:41,800 --> 00:29:43,400 Speaker 1: you branch out on your own. A lot of these 562 00:29:43,400 --> 00:29:47,240 Speaker 1: guys are made to be, you know, not the head guy, 563 00:29:47,240 --> 00:29:49,840 Speaker 1: and they're built to be coordinators. Um. And a lot 564 00:29:49,880 --> 00:29:52,520 Speaker 1: of these guys get their chance and it's just not happening. 565 00:29:52,600 --> 00:29:56,040 Speaker 1: I uh, I don't know, man, Listen, I know a 566 00:29:56,080 --> 00:29:59,720 Speaker 1: lot every time we talk Jets head coaching opening, people 567 00:29:59,720 --> 00:30:01,160 Speaker 1: are like, why don't you want to get the enemy? 568 00:30:01,200 --> 00:30:03,280 Speaker 1: What do you have a get to the enemy? And 569 00:30:03,960 --> 00:30:06,280 Speaker 1: I mean, I haven't articulated it, but the way you 570 00:30:06,440 --> 00:30:10,200 Speaker 1: just put it, what have the Andy Read guy's done 571 00:30:10,240 --> 00:30:13,760 Speaker 1: is a little alarming. Um. And I know Doug Peterson 572 00:30:14,520 --> 00:30:16,560 Speaker 1: want a Super Bowl and everybody wants to mention that, well, 573 00:30:17,240 --> 00:30:19,440 Speaker 1: you know, Doug Peterson. It could be in some trouble 574 00:30:19,480 --> 00:30:22,880 Speaker 1: in Philly. I read a story about the owner was 575 00:30:23,000 --> 00:30:24,960 Speaker 1: in on some like team meetings and I guess he 576 00:30:25,000 --> 00:30:26,840 Speaker 1: was unhappy with what he saw or heard and like 577 00:30:26,960 --> 00:30:32,520 Speaker 1: ended up walking out on them, and uh, listen, it's 578 00:30:32,520 --> 00:30:34,400 Speaker 1: tough to fire a guy who just want a Super Bowl. 579 00:30:34,760 --> 00:30:37,760 Speaker 1: But it is ugly in Philadelphia, which brings us to 580 00:30:38,720 --> 00:30:43,280 Speaker 1: the best bet. The only thing better than sitting on 581 00:30:43,360 --> 00:30:47,400 Speaker 1: your couch watching the game. He's making money while you 582 00:30:47,600 --> 00:30:52,320 Speaker 1: do it. Here's your best bet. That's that one and 583 00:30:52,360 --> 00:30:57,920 Speaker 1: two Over the weekend, Kansas City Bucks over did not 584 00:30:58,120 --> 00:31:00,840 Speaker 1: happen Kansas City. I mean, gee, they go to the 585 00:31:00,840 --> 00:31:04,320 Speaker 1: red zone three times in the first half, don't get 586 00:31:04,360 --> 00:31:07,080 Speaker 1: any touchdowns when they should have, and Bucks come back, 587 00:31:07,120 --> 00:31:09,160 Speaker 1: but it's too little, too late. Chargers plus five and 588 00:31:09,160 --> 00:31:11,719 Speaker 1: a half. My gosh, I refused to discuss that. Just 589 00:31:11,760 --> 00:31:13,800 Speaker 1: go look at the play by play, Go see what 590 00:31:13,880 --> 00:31:16,840 Speaker 1: happened at the end of the game. Vomiting in my mouth. 591 00:31:16,840 --> 00:31:19,280 Speaker 1: I think the Chargers at two four quarter turnovers also 592 00:31:20,440 --> 00:31:24,800 Speaker 1: a forty nine plus seven hit. They win outright. Felt 593 00:31:24,840 --> 00:31:26,920 Speaker 1: good about that one. The one that hurts. If you 594 00:31:26,960 --> 00:31:29,280 Speaker 1: listen to the Friday podcast, I said, I want to 595 00:31:29,280 --> 00:31:31,600 Speaker 1: take the Saints. I want to take the Saints. This 596 00:31:31,640 --> 00:31:34,400 Speaker 1: was before any of this quarterback stuff. I want to 597 00:31:34,400 --> 00:31:35,960 Speaker 1: take the Saints, but I can't it's too big of 598 00:31:35,960 --> 00:31:40,960 Speaker 1: a favorite. Blah blah blah, Saints cruise and um it 599 00:31:41,040 --> 00:31:44,680 Speaker 1: was a no contest. So when you're in one of 600 00:31:44,720 --> 00:31:47,800 Speaker 1: these funks, as I have been three of the last 601 00:31:47,800 --> 00:31:50,240 Speaker 1: four weeks, and just nothing. And it sucks because the 602 00:31:50,280 --> 00:31:53,640 Speaker 1: first seven weeks were so awesome. I was why do 603 00:31:53,680 --> 00:31:56,480 Speaker 1: you think I started doing the big money giveaways on 604 00:31:56,520 --> 00:31:59,640 Speaker 1: the podcast Guys giving away money because the success of 605 00:31:59,680 --> 00:32:02,240 Speaker 1: the game bling. And now through the last four weeks, 606 00:32:02,920 --> 00:32:07,160 Speaker 1: I can't. I can't hear anything. It's really painful and frustrating. 607 00:32:07,520 --> 00:32:10,240 Speaker 1: I I don't know what's going on. And now I'm 608 00:32:10,240 --> 00:32:13,920 Speaker 1: supposed to take Baltimore right as ten point underdogs on 609 00:32:13,960 --> 00:32:18,160 Speaker 1: the road must win spot, and I'm supposed to take 610 00:32:18,400 --> 00:32:22,520 Speaker 1: the Eagles getting seven on Monday Night football, right, you 611 00:32:22,600 --> 00:32:25,560 Speaker 1: gotta take the home team. You gotta hold your nose 612 00:32:25,560 --> 00:32:29,960 Speaker 1: to take at Jason and guys, sometimes when you're on 613 00:32:30,040 --> 00:32:33,120 Speaker 1: tilt and you're struggling, you do things that you shouldn't 614 00:32:33,240 --> 00:32:36,480 Speaker 1: um And I know no, and I could understand it. 615 00:32:36,480 --> 00:32:38,280 Speaker 1: If you guys are gonna hear this and say, Jason, man, 616 00:32:38,280 --> 00:32:40,840 Speaker 1: he's losing his mind. He just took the freaking Eagles. 617 00:32:41,200 --> 00:32:44,880 Speaker 1: Carson Wentz leads the league in sacks taken. Carson Wentz 618 00:32:45,200 --> 00:32:49,720 Speaker 1: leads the NFL in interceptions. I mean, you're gonna bet 619 00:32:49,720 --> 00:32:54,400 Speaker 1: on that guy. Unfortunately I am. I'm putting it in 620 00:32:54,440 --> 00:32:59,240 Speaker 1: the account. Uh. This morning, Philadelphia Eagles plus six and 621 00:32:59,240 --> 00:33:02,440 Speaker 1: a half and um, it's gonna be an ugly Monday night. 622 00:33:02,480 --> 00:33:05,080 Speaker 1: Listen if this goes, you know, DK Metcalf gets a 623 00:33:05,080 --> 00:33:07,280 Speaker 1: couple of early TV s, it's fourteen nothing, I'll be 624 00:33:07,320 --> 00:33:09,800 Speaker 1: turning off the game. I guarantee you that I can't 625 00:33:09,840 --> 00:33:14,320 Speaker 1: stomach another loss with these loser Eagles. A lot of 626 00:33:14,320 --> 00:33:17,440 Speaker 1: professionals were on the Eagles last week against the Browns 627 00:33:17,440 --> 00:33:19,640 Speaker 1: and they lost. And I watched that closely because I 628 00:33:19,640 --> 00:33:21,920 Speaker 1: did not have the Eagles, and I was like, oh man, 629 00:33:21,960 --> 00:33:24,040 Speaker 1: I'm so glad I didn't follow those you know, big 630 00:33:24,080 --> 00:33:26,640 Speaker 1: fifty thousand dollar bets, hundred thousand allar bets. I'm not 631 00:33:26,720 --> 00:33:30,640 Speaker 1: touching the Eagles. I'm taking them Tonight. I do a 632 00:33:30,680 --> 00:33:33,520 Speaker 1: show on Sunday's Talk the Line for Fox Sports with 633 00:33:34,000 --> 00:33:39,120 Speaker 1: Clinton Portis and Jeff Schwartz, and they both love Seattle 634 00:33:39,160 --> 00:33:42,360 Speaker 1: in this one, and I'm like, you know, guys, this 635 00:33:42,440 --> 00:33:45,640 Speaker 1: is still a professional football team. This is a prideful 636 00:33:45,680 --> 00:33:51,240 Speaker 1: Philadelphia Eagles tea. But I know there's no home field advantage. Um. Really, 637 00:33:51,280 --> 00:33:55,240 Speaker 1: we're We're giving one of the worst defenses and in 638 00:33:55,360 --> 00:34:00,120 Speaker 1: NFL history in terms of yardage, We're giving them six 639 00:34:00,160 --> 00:34:02,720 Speaker 1: and a half. I gotta take it. So I'm gonna 640 00:34:02,760 --> 00:34:05,680 Speaker 1: give my best bet out.
