1
00:00:00,400 --> 00:00:04,280
Speaker 1: The Action Network podcast about that action.

2
00:00:07,680 --> 00:00:08,480
Speaker 2: All right, here we go.

3
00:00:10,119 --> 00:00:15,080
Speaker 1: Throwing in so spect we're sitting. It's a cash touchtop.

4
00:00:15,920 --> 00:00:18,599
Speaker 2: We see most gamble is when they go to gamble,

5
00:00:18,760 --> 00:00:20,240
Speaker 2: they go to wind.

6
00:00:20,400 --> 00:00:21,720
Speaker 1: That's incredible.

7
00:00:22,760 --> 00:00:25,280
Speaker 2: Being bank small banks. I like to make money. All right,

8
00:00:25,960 --> 00:00:27,960
Speaker 2: this is the ultimate combine.

9
00:00:27,680 --> 00:00:32,800
Speaker 1: If you want to, and we are underway.

10
00:00:34,880 --> 00:00:38,600
Speaker 2: Welcome to the Favorites presented by DraftKings. We're also on

11
00:00:38,680 --> 00:00:41,080

14
00:00:46,520 --> 00:00:48,920
Speaker 2: Evin Abrams, and I am joined by the one and

15
00:00:48,960 --> 00:00:53,080
Speaker 2: only Stucky for our NFL recap show for Wildcard weekend.

16
00:00:53,280 --> 00:00:56,800
Speaker 2: Just a ridiculous, ridiculous weekend of five great games. Obviously,

17
00:00:57,200 --> 00:00:59,560
Speaker 2: still have Houston and Pittsburgh coming up on Monday night,

18
00:00:59,560 --> 00:01:02,840
Speaker 2: and we will that a little bit later. We also

19
00:01:03,120 --> 00:01:05,319
Speaker 2: have Brandon Anderson's hot read before we get out of here,

20
00:01:05,319 --> 00:01:08,560
Speaker 2: so we'll get his opinion too. But before we get started,

21
00:01:08,600 --> 00:01:11,399
Speaker 2: I will just give you exactly what I just tweeted out,

22
00:01:11,440 --> 00:01:14,520
Speaker 2: which is we see some opening lines for the divisional round,

23
00:01:14,560 --> 00:01:17,679
Speaker 2: and it looks like Bill's Broncos kind of going a

24
00:01:17,680 --> 00:01:19,680
Speaker 2: little bit between. I see the Bill's favorite in some

25
00:01:19,720 --> 00:01:23,200
Speaker 2: of those spots. If they were to close as a

26
00:01:23,280 --> 00:01:26,080
Speaker 2: favorite in Denver, it would be the fourth time in

27
00:01:26,120 --> 00:01:29,600
Speaker 2: the last forty years we had seen a Divisional round

28
00:01:29,920 --> 00:01:33,120
Speaker 2: team off of a bye at home close as an underdog,

29
00:01:33,200 --> 00:01:34,920
Speaker 2: and I can read it right now. The last would

30
00:01:34,920 --> 00:01:37,400
Speaker 2: have been the Eagles in twenty eighteen against the Falcons,

31
00:01:37,800 --> 00:01:40,320
Speaker 2: the Niners in twenty twelve, and the Saints and then

32
00:01:40,360 --> 00:01:43,640
Speaker 2: the Panthers ninety six ninety seven, and in all three

33
00:01:43,680 --> 00:01:47,440
Speaker 2: of those positions, the home team came away with the win.

34
00:01:47,640 --> 00:01:50,600
Speaker 2: So we will see kind of how the market puts

35
00:01:50,640 --> 00:01:53,919
Speaker 2: together the spread in that one over the next week.

36
00:01:54,400 --> 00:01:58,280
Speaker 2: But aside from that stuck before we get into Chargers Patriots,

37
00:01:58,680 --> 00:02:00,639
Speaker 2: what a weekend, man, which you thought on everything?

38
00:02:01,720 --> 00:02:06,160
Speaker 1: Yeah, crazy weekend. I got rinsed, sadly and I had

39
00:02:06,320 --> 00:02:09,960
Speaker 1: I went one in four some bad calls and some

40
00:02:10,040 --> 00:02:12,120
Speaker 1: bad breaks. I mean I had the Packers as a dog,

41
00:02:12,240 --> 00:02:14,800
Speaker 1: which was which was something I thought I was going

42
00:02:14,880 --> 00:02:19,840
Speaker 1: to push at worst. Yeah, after at the end, but

43
00:02:19,880 --> 00:02:22,360
Speaker 1: the missed tech two missed field goals and missed extra point,

44
00:02:22,440 --> 00:02:24,280
Speaker 1: the two point conversion to play the game was the

45
00:02:24,280 --> 00:02:28,040
Speaker 1: fourth and eight that Caleb got. If he doesn't convert

46
00:02:28,080 --> 00:02:30,000
Speaker 1: that fourth and eighth, the game is over. They were

47
00:02:30,000 --> 00:02:32,000
Speaker 1: down two possessions at the time they scored at the

48
00:02:32,000 --> 00:02:36,480
Speaker 1: two point conversion, And yeah, I mean McManus was a

49
00:02:36,520 --> 00:02:39,800
Speaker 1: disaster for them. But credit to the Bears. They were

50
00:02:40,400 --> 00:02:42,959
Speaker 1: the second team in NFL history to score twenty five

51
00:02:42,960 --> 00:02:45,000
Speaker 1: plus points in the fourth quarter or overtime of a

52
00:02:45,040 --> 00:02:48,400
Speaker 1: playoff game to overcome a fifteen plus point deficit. It

53
00:02:48,440 --> 00:02:50,919
Speaker 1: was them and the Patriots and the Super Bowl against

54
00:02:50,919 --> 00:02:55,280
Speaker 1: the Falcons. I lost money on both Patriots Falcons. One

55
00:02:55,320 --> 00:02:57,240
Speaker 1: of my biggest pets of all ever that I and

56
00:02:57,280 --> 00:03:00,640
Speaker 1: that I lost. So that was I mean, the Bears

57
00:03:00,639 --> 00:03:02,680
Speaker 1: outscored in twenty five to six in the fourth quarter.

58
00:03:03,840 --> 00:03:06,760
Speaker 1: That was just the Bears games all year. It was

59
00:03:06,800 --> 00:03:10,160
Speaker 1: just it was like a microcosm of the Bears season

60
00:03:10,200 --> 00:03:13,080
Speaker 1: in one game. And then the Packers in a sense

61
00:03:13,120 --> 00:03:16,160
Speaker 1: too with some of the losses they suffered. But the Bears,

62
00:03:16,240 --> 00:03:20,560
Speaker 1: they're never dead and they found a way. But like

63
00:03:20,600 --> 00:03:22,760
Speaker 1: the McManus kicks were so big because even if you

64
00:03:22,840 --> 00:03:25,280
Speaker 1: make like you make the extra point, you can kick

65
00:03:25,280 --> 00:03:27,520
Speaker 1: the field goal at the end you know, the field

66
00:03:27,520 --> 00:03:30,880
Speaker 1: goals earlier in the game. So yeah, that was just

67
00:03:30,880 --> 00:03:33,079
Speaker 1: an incredible game, by the way, the most lead changes

68
00:03:33,120 --> 00:03:35,920
Speaker 1: we've ever seen in a single round of the postseason.

69
00:03:35,920 --> 00:03:39,320
Speaker 1: Already we still have one game to go. That was

70
00:03:39,520 --> 00:03:43,880
Speaker 1: I mean the first three, the first three games that

71
00:03:43,960 --> 00:03:46,680
Speaker 1: we saw, the winner was trailing with two minutes to go.

72
00:03:47,960 --> 00:03:51,160
Speaker 1: So yeah, just wild games. And look in the playoffs

73
00:03:51,160 --> 00:03:54,240
Speaker 1: when it's bet when it comes to betting, or you know,

74
00:03:54,560 --> 00:03:57,360
Speaker 1: just whoever wins these games out right, the margins are thin,

75
00:03:57,520 --> 00:04:01,120
Speaker 1: especially this year, everything is so wide open that you

76
00:04:01,360 --> 00:04:03,600
Speaker 1: like go back. I also had that one of the

77
00:04:03,600 --> 00:04:05,200
Speaker 1: other bad breaks that I had, I had the Jags

78
00:04:05,240 --> 00:04:10,600
Speaker 1: first half, so Lawrence's thigh goes down at you know,

79
00:04:10,640 --> 00:04:12,960
Speaker 1: the six. They get no points out of that. And

80
00:04:13,000 --> 00:04:16,599
Speaker 1: then the miskick again of the first half by an

81
00:04:16,640 --> 00:04:21,040
Speaker 1: all pro kicker. That kick was massive, obviously, I mean

82
00:04:21,040 --> 00:04:23,400
Speaker 1: the game was a three point game. But those things,

83
00:04:23,440 --> 00:04:28,920
Speaker 1: those little things are so magnified in the playoffs. So yeah,

84
00:04:28,960 --> 00:04:33,000
Speaker 1: I thought any of the games could have went anyway.

85
00:04:33,360 --> 00:04:36,000
Speaker 1: The Panthers were super surprising. I did not expect their

86
00:04:36,000 --> 00:04:38,560
Speaker 1: offense to look that well. I'd under that it was

87
00:04:38,560 --> 00:04:41,120
Speaker 1: a terrible call and then my worst call weekd was

88
00:04:41,120 --> 00:04:44,880
Speaker 1: I had the Chargers. I mean, the Patriots were dominant

89
00:04:44,920 --> 00:04:47,920
Speaker 1: in that game. Drake may was I thought he had

90
00:04:47,920 --> 00:04:49,280
Speaker 1: a pretty bad game. He could have had like three

91
00:04:49,360 --> 00:04:52,280
Speaker 1: or four turnovers, but he used his legs more effectively.

92
00:04:52,680 --> 00:04:55,720
Speaker 1: He hit the one big throwdown field, and on a

93
00:04:55,880 --> 00:04:58,000
Speaker 1: side by side basis, he looked like an all pro

94
00:04:58,040 --> 00:05:01,400
Speaker 1: compared to Herbert. I mean Herbert. Look. I don't like

95
00:05:01,440 --> 00:05:04,240
Speaker 1: to label these things for small sample size because it's

96
00:05:04,240 --> 00:05:06,599
Speaker 1: only been three starts, Like you know, the playoff Herbert thing,

97
00:05:07,320 --> 00:05:10,479
Speaker 1: and he had no help. The offensive line was really poor.

98
00:05:10,520 --> 00:05:12,559
Speaker 1: I thought the Patriots had a really good game plan.

99
00:05:13,240 --> 00:05:15,480
Speaker 1: They just couldn't handle their stunts, their blitzes, and they

100
00:05:15,480 --> 00:05:19,800
Speaker 1: were just bringing pressure. But Herbert also played really poorly.

101
00:05:20,120 --> 00:05:23,480
Speaker 1: He looked like the first time starting quarterback. He looked

102
00:05:23,480 --> 00:05:26,239
Speaker 1: like a rookie. I mean he was flustered, he missed

103
00:05:26,320 --> 00:05:28,839
Speaker 1: some opportunities to scramble, he missed some open throws, and

104
00:05:28,839 --> 00:05:30,560
Speaker 1: then he was just inaccurate. I get that he was

105
00:05:30,640 --> 00:05:33,080
Speaker 1: under pressure and under fire, especially late in the game

106
00:05:33,080 --> 00:05:35,560
Speaker 1: once the Patriots built that lead, but there were some

107
00:05:35,640 --> 00:05:39,479
Speaker 1: opportunities there. I also thought Harball the whole staff was

108
00:05:39,560 --> 00:05:43,120
Speaker 1: extremely disapointed. I thought they got significantly out coached. You

109
00:05:43,160 --> 00:05:44,760
Speaker 1: went into that game, by the way, you had a

110
00:05:44,800 --> 00:05:47,160
Speaker 1: buy last week, so you basically had two weeks. They

111
00:05:47,200 --> 00:05:49,440
Speaker 1: took a buy. They had two weeks to come up

112
00:05:49,480 --> 00:05:52,240
Speaker 1: with game plans to make up for the deficiencies that

113
00:05:52,279 --> 00:05:54,320
Speaker 1: you knew you had on the offensive line. Did you

114
00:05:54,400 --> 00:05:57,359
Speaker 1: not think that the Patriots were gonna blitz and stunt

115
00:05:57,680 --> 00:06:00,240
Speaker 1: and there was? It just seemed like there was. I

116
00:06:00,240 --> 00:06:01,960
Speaker 1: don't know what their game plan was. I don't know

117
00:06:02,000 --> 00:06:06,400
Speaker 1: what the offensive philosophy going into that game was. And

118
00:06:06,440 --> 00:06:08,840
Speaker 1: then you had fr ball early on in the game.

119
00:06:08,880 --> 00:06:10,560
Speaker 1: He goes for it on fourth and goal with the two,

120
00:06:10,760 --> 00:06:12,960
Speaker 1: it doesn't get it, and then he has fourth and

121
00:06:12,960 --> 00:06:14,640
Speaker 1: goal with the two again and kicks a field goal.

122
00:06:14,680 --> 00:06:16,880
Speaker 1: I hate when coaches do that. You're the underdog on

123
00:06:16,880 --> 00:06:18,880
Speaker 1: the road. You were aggressive the first time. If you

124
00:06:18,880 --> 00:06:20,320
Speaker 1: thought it was just gonna be a field goal game,

125
00:06:20,440 --> 00:06:22,320
Speaker 1: then kick it both times. But he went for the

126
00:06:22,360 --> 00:06:24,840
Speaker 1: first time. Don't get scared just because you didn't get it.

127
00:06:25,240 --> 00:06:27,880
Speaker 1: But those were two huge sequences and the Patriots, whose

128
00:06:27,920 --> 00:06:30,640
Speaker 1: red zone defense was the worst in the league this year,

129
00:06:31,440 --> 00:06:33,480
Speaker 1: Chargers have struggled in the red zone of their offense.

130
00:06:33,960 --> 00:06:36,760
Speaker 1: Patriots defense won that battle. I hope they were that

131
00:06:36,800 --> 00:06:39,400
Speaker 1: they had the most convincing win of any of the

132
00:06:39,400 --> 00:06:39,960
Speaker 1: five games.

133
00:06:40,600 --> 00:06:42,400
Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean not hard to have a convincing win

134
00:06:42,440 --> 00:06:44,000
Speaker 2: when it felt like it came down to the wire

135
00:06:44,040 --> 00:06:45,640
Speaker 2: and all of them. This was I thought this was

136
00:06:45,640 --> 00:06:48,000
Speaker 2: going to be a closer game tonight as well. I mean,

137
00:06:48,040 --> 00:06:50,000
Speaker 2: three points ain't gonna do it. And of course you

138
00:06:50,080 --> 00:06:52,000
Speaker 2: mentioned it, like if you're not going to go for it,

139
00:06:52,200 --> 00:06:53,279
Speaker 2: I mean, if you're gonna go for it at first,

140
00:06:53,279 --> 00:06:55,600
Speaker 2: you gotta go for it again. Absolutely ridiculous, like it's

141
00:06:55,680 --> 00:06:57,359
Speaker 2: part of your game plan, like you got to figure

142
00:06:57,360 --> 00:06:59,000
Speaker 2: out one way or the other, either I need points

143
00:06:59,320 --> 00:07:01,440
Speaker 2: or I don't. But you're right, I'll go game by

144
00:07:01,440 --> 00:07:04,080
Speaker 2: game here. We can go very quickly since obviously we're

145
00:07:04,080 --> 00:07:05,839
Speaker 2: going over a bunch here. But New England won the

146
00:07:05,839 --> 00:07:07,919
Speaker 2: game sixteen thirteen, covered the three and a half at

147
00:07:07,960 --> 00:07:11,080
Speaker 2: home total under forty five and a half, just simply

148
00:07:11,080 --> 00:07:13,720
Speaker 2: the dominant performance from New England's defense. I mean, aside

149
00:07:13,720 --> 00:07:16,440
Speaker 2: from that, I think, like you said, May played okay,

150
00:07:17,240 --> 00:07:20,760
Speaker 2: but everyone's going to talk about probably two things. Charger's

151
00:07:20,800 --> 00:07:22,880
Speaker 2: defense probably played as best as they could. Think the

152
00:07:22,920 --> 00:07:25,760
Speaker 2: offensive line let them down. Herbert got hit seven eight

153
00:07:25,920 --> 00:07:28,040
Speaker 2: nine times in this game, which was on par for

154
00:07:28,080 --> 00:07:30,960
Speaker 2: everything we've seen from them this season. And I mean

155
00:07:31,160 --> 00:07:33,200
Speaker 2: just kind of looked like a Rabel defense in this game.

156
00:07:33,240 --> 00:07:35,920
Speaker 2: And coming up you've got Houston and Pittsburgh. I think

157
00:07:35,920 --> 00:07:39,120
Speaker 2: they'd probably like to see Pittsburgh, would be my guess

158
00:07:39,680 --> 00:07:41,840
Speaker 2: based off just you know, trying to see another defense

159
00:07:41,880 --> 00:07:45,440
Speaker 2: in that sense. But either way, kind of intriguing any

160
00:07:45,640 --> 00:07:48,560
Speaker 2: thoughts early on that New England game depending on opponent.

161
00:07:49,440 --> 00:07:51,840
Speaker 1: I mean, you can kind of have a similar game

162
00:07:51,880 --> 00:07:57,640
Speaker 1: plan against sir right, you have Strouded struggles against the

163
00:07:57,640 --> 00:08:02,320
Speaker 1: blitz Rogers who struggles against pressure too, you know, not

164
00:08:02,960 --> 00:08:06,520
Speaker 1: the most reliable offensive lines. So you know, I still

165
00:08:06,520 --> 00:08:09,680
Speaker 1: have questions about this Patriots defense. It's just like who

166
00:08:09,760 --> 00:08:12,000
Speaker 1: have they faced all year? Right, Like, yeah, they faced

167
00:08:12,080 --> 00:08:14,400
Speaker 1: Josh Allen got cooked and that that's basically the only

168
00:08:14,760 --> 00:08:17,080
Speaker 1: and then they did. You have to give him credit

169
00:08:17,760 --> 00:08:22,160
Speaker 1: for just completely bottling up Herbert, but again, the state

170
00:08:22,200 --> 00:08:23,840
Speaker 1: of that offensive line, but it might be the same

171
00:08:23,920 --> 00:08:27,400
Speaker 1: story next week against either one of those opponents.

172
00:08:28,040 --> 00:08:31,520
Speaker 2: You know, and did Christian Gonzalez come back.

173
00:08:32,360 --> 00:08:36,160
Speaker 1: So that's a major concerns. He was just one of things.

174
00:08:36,160 --> 00:08:42,439
Speaker 1: Like the Chargers receivers were non existent, I mean, the best.

175
00:08:42,760 --> 00:08:47,280
Speaker 1: The only guy that I heard his name the entire

176
00:08:47,520 --> 00:08:51,880
Speaker 1: besides Herbert getting hit was Vadal He like, he picked

177
00:08:51,920 --> 00:08:54,679
Speaker 1: up that fumble, ran for it a couple of peg

178
00:08:54,960 --> 00:08:56,960
Speaker 1: But who who on the Chargers offense did you hear

179
00:08:57,000 --> 00:08:57,880
Speaker 1: their name called?

180
00:08:58,000 --> 00:09:00,959
Speaker 2: Like? Also, I mean to be clear, a lot of

181
00:09:00,960 --> 00:09:03,960
Speaker 2: people talking about this, but they disguised the O'marian Hampton

182
00:09:04,040 --> 00:09:06,240
Speaker 2: injury a lot more than they probably should have, because

183
00:09:06,600 --> 00:09:08,800
Speaker 2: it honestly looked like he shouldn't have even played in

184
00:09:08,840 --> 00:09:11,200
Speaker 2: the game, and there should have been some designation. And

185
00:09:11,240 --> 00:09:13,120
Speaker 2: we had heard about ankle this and that he had

186
00:09:13,120 --> 00:09:15,200
Speaker 2: a little bit of a boot on it and basically

187
00:09:15,240 --> 00:09:17,280
Speaker 2: shouldn't have been out. There was the reason Herbert was

188
00:09:17,320 --> 00:09:19,360
Speaker 2: scrambling on over the place. And obviously the dal played

189
00:09:19,360 --> 00:09:21,440
Speaker 2: a ton of snaps. But all right, let's keep rolling.

190
00:09:22,320 --> 00:09:24,000
Speaker 1: Here are Patriots and you want to see the Steelers though,

191
00:09:24,040 --> 00:09:27,319
Speaker 1: because that's fair. I mean, look, the Steelers are three

192
00:09:27,320 --> 00:09:29,440
Speaker 1: point home dogs against the Texans. The Steelers you can hit,

193
00:09:29,480 --> 00:09:32,160
Speaker 1: you can get explosives on them. That's something the Chargers

194
00:09:32,160 --> 00:09:34,040
Speaker 1: do take away and they did for the most part today.

195
00:09:35,600 --> 00:09:38,880
Speaker 1: But yeah, I think that the Patriots should feel good

196
00:09:39,400 --> 00:09:42,839
Speaker 1: regardless of who they play. But the Texans I think

197
00:09:42,880 --> 00:09:47,280
Speaker 1: would be a stiffer test defensively, I agreed, all right, rematch,

198
00:09:47,360 --> 00:09:49,440
Speaker 1: by the way, rematch earlier the season with the Patriots.

199
00:09:49,520 --> 00:09:52,800
Speaker 1: The Steelers did go into New England and beat the Patriots,

200
00:09:53,080 --> 00:09:55,760
Speaker 1: but the Patriots dominated that game. It was a typical

201
00:09:55,840 --> 00:09:57,920
Speaker 1: voodoo Steelers win. I think the Patriots turned it over

202
00:09:57,960 --> 00:10:01,040
Speaker 1: five times, the Patriots up getting down to like the

203
00:10:01,120 --> 00:10:05,080
Speaker 1: two and not scoring. It was pretty crazy. So yeah,

204
00:10:05,120 --> 00:10:09,280
Speaker 1: I think the Patriots will be deserve his favorites at

205
00:10:09,280 --> 00:10:10,319
Speaker 1: home against either.

206
00:10:11,000 --> 00:10:13,880
Speaker 2: All right, let's keep rolling here. Buffalo Jackson. Buffalo wins

207
00:10:13,880 --> 00:10:15,800
Speaker 2: twenty seven to twenty four, one and a half point.

208
00:10:15,880 --> 00:10:18,160
Speaker 2: Road Dogs total under fifty one and a half fifty

209
00:10:18,200 --> 00:10:20,640
Speaker 2: two and a half. But right by the hook, I mean,

210
00:10:21,240 --> 00:10:22,680
Speaker 2: I think you and I would mention this, and you

211
00:10:22,679 --> 00:10:25,319
Speaker 2: obviously had JAG's first half, but Buffalo's probably started a

212
00:10:25,360 --> 00:10:27,720
Speaker 2: little bit faster than maybe we had assumed. Even though

213
00:10:27,880 --> 00:10:30,400
Speaker 2: it included like two punts of fumble, like, it wasn't

214
00:10:30,440 --> 00:10:33,360
Speaker 2: exactly amazing offense in the first half but got the

215
00:10:33,440 --> 00:10:35,800
Speaker 2: job done. But to me, it just turned into kind

216
00:10:35,800 --> 00:10:38,640
Speaker 2: of an everything Josh Allen game, a ton of passing,

217
00:10:39,320 --> 00:10:41,600
Speaker 2: running all over the place. But the Jags rush defense

218
00:10:41,600 --> 00:10:45,760
Speaker 2: did their job like Cook did nothing. Fifteen of forty six,

219
00:10:45,920 --> 00:10:48,520
Speaker 2: just both around three yards per rush. It was just

220
00:10:48,600 --> 00:10:50,360
Speaker 2: other things that got them beat. I mean, Buffalo went

221
00:10:50,400 --> 00:10:53,880
Speaker 2: nine to sixteen on third down, fourth down definitely, and

222
00:10:54,040 --> 00:10:56,960
Speaker 2: you had mentioned it with the Caleb Williams throw, but

223
00:10:57,040 --> 00:11:01,360
Speaker 2: that back foot throw from Josh on first time cooked ridiculous.

224
00:11:01,400 --> 00:11:04,160
Speaker 2: I mean, that's those two throws like win football games.

225
00:11:04,240 --> 00:11:06,400
Speaker 2: And when you're talking about the margins being that thin,

226
00:11:07,360 --> 00:11:10,160
Speaker 2: but what did you see here? Any anything worth note?

227
00:11:10,920 --> 00:11:12,360
Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean I don't think the Bills in the

228
00:11:12,360 --> 00:11:15,079
Speaker 1: first half were great. I mean the Jags were one

229
00:11:15,080 --> 00:11:17,760
Speaker 1: and a half yards per played better. The Bills had

230
00:11:17,800 --> 00:11:19,640
Speaker 1: one good drive in the whole first half, but it

231
00:11:19,679 --> 00:11:21,079
Speaker 1: was a great It was the meaningful drive. It was

232
00:11:21,400 --> 00:11:25,120
Speaker 1: six ninety four yards after Trevor Lawrence's shin went down.

233
00:11:25,520 --> 00:11:29,320
Speaker 1: Huge swing in that game. And then they kicked a

234
00:11:29,040 --> 00:11:32,360
Speaker 1: fifty yard field goal off of an interception. But those

235
00:11:32,440 --> 00:11:34,920
Speaker 1: those are the margins, Prater, You bang your banged up

236
00:11:35,000 --> 00:11:37,679
Speaker 1: kicker made a fifty plus yarder and the Jags all

237
00:11:37,720 --> 00:11:39,480
Speaker 1: Pro kicker who made twenty in a row, missed the

238
00:11:39,520 --> 00:11:42,360
Speaker 1: fifty plus yarder and then in the red zone you

239
00:11:42,720 --> 00:11:45,080
Speaker 1: didn't get your fourth down, came up with no points.

240
00:11:45,480 --> 00:11:50,280
Speaker 1: The Bills were amazing on fourth downs. So I thought,

241
00:11:50,320 --> 00:11:53,679
Speaker 1: like just watching that game, the Jags were the better

242
00:11:53,720 --> 00:11:55,960
Speaker 1: team on a play by play basis, like they completely

243
00:11:55,960 --> 00:11:58,360
Speaker 1: stopped the run. They had way more success running the ball,

244
00:11:58,679 --> 00:12:01,760
Speaker 1: but the Bills had Josh Allen and that was ultimately

245
00:12:01,800 --> 00:12:03,600
Speaker 1: a difference. He played amazing because he had no help

246
00:12:03,600 --> 00:12:06,360
Speaker 1: from his run game they usually do, and then the

247
00:12:06,360 --> 00:12:07,960
Speaker 1: second half they had to open it up and asked

248
00:12:08,000 --> 00:12:11,079
Speaker 1: him to go win it, and he did. I also

249
00:12:11,120 --> 00:12:14,800
Speaker 1: thought in the first half the Jags really really missed

250
00:12:14,800 --> 00:12:19,720
Speaker 1: Parker Washington. He was he was amazing in the second half.

251
00:12:19,720 --> 00:12:21,520
Speaker 1: He was amazing in the second half of the year,

252
00:12:22,040 --> 00:12:24,800
Speaker 1: and he missed most of the first half. I am shut.

253
00:12:24,840 --> 00:12:27,120
Speaker 1: I mean, it's the playoffs, like there's I guess there's

254
00:12:27,160 --> 00:12:29,720
Speaker 1: there's no such thing as concussions for a lot of teams.

255
00:12:29,760 --> 00:12:32,440
Speaker 1: I'm shock that he came back after what I saw,

256
00:12:32,559 --> 00:12:35,920
Speaker 1: but he was great in the second half. Did he

257
00:12:35,960 --> 00:12:37,480
Speaker 1: finished for I think he finished with over one hundred

258
00:12:37,520 --> 00:12:42,000
Speaker 1: yards and so they missed him in the first half.

259
00:12:42,120 --> 00:12:45,840
Speaker 1: They missed some opportunities. But yeah, really a coin foot

260
00:12:45,880 --> 00:12:51,000
Speaker 1: game like Jaggs. Here's where this again where the margins

261
00:12:51,000 --> 00:12:54,840
Speaker 1: are small. I think mcdermoy made a huge mistake that

262
00:12:55,080 --> 00:12:58,120
Speaker 1: Josh Allen tush push. It's funny that they used the

263
00:12:58,160 --> 00:13:02,480
Speaker 1: tush push so effective and they were trying to get

264
00:13:02,480 --> 00:13:05,880
Speaker 1: it banned in the off season. I believe they were

265
00:13:05,880 --> 00:13:08,040
Speaker 1: one of the teams that voted against it, and they

266
00:13:08,160 --> 00:13:10,360
Speaker 1: use it now effectively in the Eagles like they went

267
00:13:10,400 --> 00:13:12,679
Speaker 1: four of like their last eleven on the touch push.

268
00:13:13,679 --> 00:13:18,200
Speaker 1: But there's a minute ten left at the one on

269
00:13:18,360 --> 00:13:23,760
Speaker 1: first in goal and the Jags have no timeouts. I

270
00:13:24,360 --> 00:13:28,080
Speaker 1: one hundred percent of the time snap and fall down

271
00:13:28,400 --> 00:13:31,080
Speaker 1: or snap and taken me one percent of the time,

272
00:13:31,840 --> 00:13:34,040
Speaker 1: And then you you have three that you then you

273
00:13:34,120 --> 00:13:36,320
Speaker 1: run forty seconds off the clock. There was like a

274
00:13:36,360 --> 00:13:39,600
Speaker 1: minute five that there would have been twenty seconds left.

275
00:13:40,880 --> 00:13:43,720
Speaker 1: You have your timeouts, but you don't even need it.

276
00:13:44,240 --> 00:13:47,280
Speaker 1: You have three more Josh Allen touch pushes to get

277
00:13:47,280 --> 00:13:51,920
Speaker 1: in and then there's the Jags are done. Instead you

278
00:13:51,960 --> 00:13:53,560
Speaker 1: went you scored on the first play. Now it didn't

279
00:13:53,559 --> 00:13:57,240
Speaker 1: matter because Lawrence threw a pick. But what you shouldn't

280
00:13:57,240 --> 00:14:00,280
Speaker 1: base things off of the results. It's about the process. Yes,

281
00:14:01,240 --> 00:14:03,760
Speaker 1: you could say, like, look, just score that, just get

282
00:14:03,800 --> 00:14:07,280
Speaker 1: the points. Things can happen, you can fumble, I get it,

283
00:14:07,400 --> 00:14:10,120
Speaker 1: But I think in the long run, the smart move

284
00:14:10,160 --> 00:14:12,400
Speaker 1: there was to not score on first down with them

285
00:14:12,400 --> 00:14:15,200
Speaker 1: not having any timeouts and then score now didn't bite

286
00:14:15,240 --> 00:14:18,520
Speaker 1: the Bills. But just something worth noting because we've seen

287
00:14:19,320 --> 00:14:23,400
Speaker 1: McDermott and final minutes of playoff games go sideways before.

288
00:14:23,720 --> 00:14:26,360
Speaker 1: But just an incredible game and it was Josh and Josh.

289
00:14:26,400 --> 00:14:31,120
Speaker 1: You have to like Alan got beat up in that

290
00:14:31,160 --> 00:14:33,080
Speaker 1: game too. I mean he came in with an injury

291
00:14:33,120 --> 00:14:36,360
Speaker 1: to his foot. He you know here, he had his

292
00:14:36,520 --> 00:14:39,760
Speaker 1: knee twisted, he got his head hit, his hand hit

293
00:14:39,800 --> 00:14:42,840
Speaker 1: on a helmet. I mean he the Jags defense threw

294
00:14:42,840 --> 00:14:45,280
Speaker 1: everything at him and he just made incredible throws with

295
00:14:45,360 --> 00:14:47,920
Speaker 1: like who at receiver. Shakier had a great day, but

296
00:14:47,960 --> 00:14:51,800
Speaker 1: they kept losing receivers. They've already so that was all

297
00:14:51,880 --> 00:14:54,040
Speaker 1: on Josh. Allen had tip to him.

298
00:14:54,640 --> 00:14:56,960
Speaker 2: I mean they saw Mitch Tubisky warming up and Josh

299
00:14:57,000 --> 00:15:00,280
Speaker 2: is like, no chance that's on the joh.

300
00:15:00,480 --> 00:15:02,800
Speaker 1: Going to the blue tent in the playoffs is me

301
00:15:02,960 --> 00:15:04,960
Speaker 1: rolling my eyes. They just go in there and like

302
00:15:05,640 --> 00:15:08,480
Speaker 1: give them a pat on the ass and tell them

303
00:15:08,480 --> 00:15:09,320
Speaker 1: to get back out there.

304
00:15:09,680 --> 00:15:12,160
Speaker 2: The reason you're right though about the touch push at

305
00:15:12,160 --> 00:15:15,640
Speaker 2: the end is because the Jaguars faked like they were

306
00:15:15,760 --> 00:15:18,240
Speaker 2: they wanted him the score correct, but they faked it

307
00:15:18,280 --> 00:15:20,440
Speaker 2: like they wanted them to look like they cared about

308
00:15:20,480 --> 00:15:23,280
Speaker 2: him scoring. And Liam Cohene even said in postgame he

309
00:15:23,320 --> 00:15:25,000
Speaker 2: was like, we let them score. It was the right move.

310
00:15:25,120 --> 00:15:26,640
Speaker 2: So that's how you.

311
00:15:26,560 --> 00:15:29,400
Speaker 1: Know it was the wrong move to score. The other

312
00:15:29,440 --> 00:15:32,640
Speaker 1: team is trying to let you score. So like because

313
00:15:32,640 --> 00:15:35,080
Speaker 1: of that, you could have like went to the inch

314
00:15:35,160 --> 00:15:39,960
Speaker 1: yard line and kneeled it, and the chances of you

315
00:15:40,080 --> 00:15:43,840
Speaker 1: scoring again from the inch yard line with the Josh

316
00:15:43,880 --> 00:15:48,440
Speaker 1: Allen Tousch Bush are way higher than the Jags with

317
00:15:48,600 --> 00:15:51,400
Speaker 1: a minute ten being able to go down the field

318
00:15:51,400 --> 00:15:53,080
Speaker 1: and kick a fuel goal with a kicker who has

319
00:15:53,840 --> 00:15:56,040
Speaker 1: distance from he's made. He's two for two from sixty

320
00:15:56,080 --> 00:15:57,920
Speaker 1: seven plus the rest of the NFL and NFL history's

321
00:15:57,920 --> 00:15:59,920
Speaker 1: oh for twenty two. So like all they had to do,

322
00:16:00,000 --> 00:16:02,400
Speaker 1: I think you get the midfield right, so you start

323
00:16:02,440 --> 00:16:04,800
Speaker 1: like a lot of you started the thirty five fifteen yards,

324
00:16:04,800 --> 00:16:06,600
Speaker 1: you're in range. Now it worked out for them. I'm

325
00:16:06,600 --> 00:16:07,960
Speaker 1: just saying I think that was the wrong move.

326
00:16:08,480 --> 00:16:10,440
Speaker 2: Yeah, sometimes it works out and it's just the wrong move,

327
00:16:10,440 --> 00:16:11,280
Speaker 2: and that was one of them.

328
00:16:11,800 --> 00:16:13,720
Speaker 1: I'll leave Jags by the way. He rest of the

329
00:16:13,760 --> 00:16:16,760
Speaker 1: I see should be happy that they're out. It was unfortunate.

330
00:16:17,160 --> 00:16:20,200
Speaker 1: Incredible year from Liam Cohen. Easily could have won that game,

331
00:16:20,280 --> 00:16:22,560
Speaker 1: easily could have made a run. It was unfortunate that

332
00:16:22,600 --> 00:16:25,480
Speaker 1: both of these teams had to play each other home.

333
00:16:25,520 --> 00:16:29,960
Speaker 2: While Kobe can completely agree, a lot of flak is

334
00:16:29,960 --> 00:16:32,560
Speaker 2: going to go to Herbert based off his performance tonight,

335
00:16:32,720 --> 00:16:35,280
Speaker 2: But I did look it up. Trevor Lawrence's three playoffs

336
00:16:35,320 --> 00:16:39,120
Speaker 2: starts minus one point six EPA today, minus three point

337
00:16:39,280 --> 00:16:41,280
Speaker 2: seven in his last start, and then plus two point

338
00:16:41,280 --> 00:16:44,640
Speaker 2: five against Case, but negative completion percentage over expected in

339
00:16:44,720 --> 00:16:47,800
Speaker 2: all three starts, qbr under fifty and all three Like,

340
00:16:48,000 --> 00:16:50,400
Speaker 2: he just hasn't been his best in these games. And

341
00:16:50,400 --> 00:16:53,160
Speaker 2: that kind I mean, he played alright today. Maybe you

342
00:16:53,200 --> 00:16:55,960
Speaker 2: put it on the defense, but Buffalo does put up

343
00:16:55,960 --> 00:16:58,120
Speaker 2: what twenty six, twenty seven points in this game, so

344
00:16:58,400 --> 00:17:00,720
Speaker 2: probably a stopper more there on the defense.

345
00:17:01,200 --> 00:17:03,440
Speaker 1: Now, he wasn't great, he was, he was just okay.

346
00:17:04,440 --> 00:17:06,840
Speaker 1: But the pick at the end was bad. The other

347
00:17:06,960 --> 00:17:10,439
Speaker 1: pick was bad early that led to Buffalo points and

348
00:17:10,480 --> 00:17:12,680
Speaker 1: then you have to blame him for a shin going

349
00:17:12,720 --> 00:17:16,720
Speaker 1: down just awareness. I mean, it's just him. I know

350
00:17:16,760 --> 00:17:18,720
Speaker 1: it was kind of a flukey play, but that basically

351
00:17:18,800 --> 00:17:22,240
Speaker 1: took four and a half five points on average off

352
00:17:22,240 --> 00:17:27,960
Speaker 1: the board. So yeah, that he wasn't great, but I

353
00:17:29,080 --> 00:17:31,359
Speaker 1: hope the Jags defense played well, and it was just

354
00:17:32,200 --> 00:17:34,480
Speaker 1: it was just Josh Allen was just incredible. You gotta

355
00:17:34,480 --> 00:17:34,720
Speaker 1: add it.

356
00:17:34,720 --> 00:17:37,840
Speaker 2: To ridiculous and an unfortunate miss from Cam Little early

357
00:17:37,880 --> 00:17:41,480
Speaker 2: to obviously the difference. But all right, Green Bank Chicago,

358
00:17:42,000 --> 00:17:44,560
Speaker 2: Holy mackerel. So Chicago wins a game thirty one, twenty

359
00:17:44,600 --> 00:17:46,560
Speaker 2: seven and one and a half point home Dogs total

360
00:17:46,560 --> 00:17:49,159
Speaker 2: over forty six and a half. There is really not

361
00:17:49,359 --> 00:17:51,520
Speaker 2: much to say here other than like, if you haven't

362
00:17:51,560 --> 00:17:53,879
Speaker 2: watched Chicago all year, this is exactly what you got.

363
00:17:54,040 --> 00:17:57,800
Speaker 2: And then from Green Bay's perspective, like they've lost five

364
00:17:57,880 --> 00:18:00,720
Speaker 2: straight after this one, they have not looked the same

365
00:18:00,840 --> 00:18:03,639
Speaker 2: and you know, basically without Micah Parsons, But I mean,

366
00:18:03,640 --> 00:18:05,440
Speaker 2: when you talk about the play calling from la floor

367
00:18:05,480 --> 00:18:07,960
Speaker 2: in the second half, they attempted seven runs in the

368
00:18:07,960 --> 00:18:10,160
Speaker 2: second half of twenty one three, it was minus two,

369
00:18:10,400 --> 00:18:14,480
Speaker 2: one six, zero, one, zero and zero. First four drives

370
00:18:14,480 --> 00:18:17,320
Speaker 2: in the second half they gained nine totally yards, and

371
00:18:17,359 --> 00:18:20,159
Speaker 2: I think the worst part about it was they knocked

372
00:18:20,200 --> 00:18:23,560
Speaker 2: off like four minutes on the clock in total in

373
00:18:23,600 --> 00:18:26,760
Speaker 2: those four drives, So he just really got shit before

374
00:18:26,760 --> 00:18:29,000
Speaker 2: they even scored a touchdown in the second half and

375
00:18:29,080 --> 00:18:31,960
Speaker 2: really got something going. It was already twenty one sixteen

376
00:18:32,000 --> 00:18:33,919
Speaker 2: and it was a ballgame, so it just you had

377
00:18:34,000 --> 00:18:37,280
Speaker 2: kind of ruined the entire lead based off of your

378
00:18:37,280 --> 00:18:39,760
Speaker 2: play calling, and you could just see it like after

379
00:18:39,800 --> 00:18:42,520
Speaker 2: they got up, they were just allowing Chicago to do

380
00:18:42,640 --> 00:18:45,159
Speaker 2: kind of what they wanted and stick around, and that

381
00:18:45,280 --> 00:18:47,480
Speaker 2: honestly ended up being the problem. And you mentioned it.

382
00:18:47,560 --> 00:18:50,040
Speaker 2: The fourth and eighth throw to Rome is just, I mean,

383
00:18:50,400 --> 00:18:53,520
Speaker 2: something you will see forever in Chicago, no matter what happens,

384
00:18:53,560 --> 00:18:55,919
Speaker 2: because it was just that unreal of a throw from

385
00:18:55,960 --> 00:18:58,159
Speaker 2: a guy that talented and also very cool that he

386
00:18:58,200 --> 00:18:59,840
Speaker 2: looked like Michael Jordan in the middle of the air.

387
00:19:00,160 --> 00:19:03,480
Speaker 2: Either way, absolutely ridiculous. So what do you make from

388
00:19:03,720 --> 00:19:04,600
Speaker 2: green Bay Chicago?

389
00:19:05,680 --> 00:19:07,680
Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean the green Bay injuries, I think that

390
00:19:07,920 --> 00:19:10,439
Speaker 1: caught they were dead, So I mean, like Cooper, they

391
00:19:10,440 --> 00:19:12,880
Speaker 1: had some more offensive line injuries, Doc Tom not starting.

392
00:19:13,040 --> 00:19:15,359
Speaker 1: Although they were up twenty one three, missed the Fueld

393
00:19:15,359 --> 00:19:16,520
Speaker 1: goal at the end of that they should be up

394
00:19:16,520 --> 00:19:18,119
Speaker 1: twenty four to three. You have to win that game.

395
00:19:18,840 --> 00:19:24,479
Speaker 1: And they're up twenty one six in the fourth quarter, like,

396
00:19:24,680 --> 00:19:26,919
Speaker 1: you have to win that game no matter what. And

397
00:19:27,000 --> 00:19:29,159
Speaker 1: it just, I mean, it just was just your typical

398
00:19:29,200 --> 00:19:32,119
Speaker 1: Bears game. Also another underrated play obviously the fourth and

399
00:19:32,160 --> 00:19:34,680
Speaker 1: eight and if they didn't call the false start, the

400
00:19:34,720 --> 00:19:36,760
Speaker 1: snap goes over the head before then and the game

401
00:19:36,880 --> 00:19:40,600
Speaker 1: is over. The fourth and eight is incredible throw by Kalb.

402
00:19:41,760 --> 00:19:44,120
Speaker 1: Then they score a touchdown, they get the two point

403
00:19:44,160 --> 00:19:48,160
Speaker 1: conversion slept on conversion because if you don't get that

404
00:19:48,800 --> 00:19:50,760
Speaker 1: the Packers at the end. Now, the Packers missed the

405
00:19:50,760 --> 00:19:52,480
Speaker 1: Fueld goal after that, but then they have the ball

406
00:19:52,520 --> 00:19:55,240
Speaker 1: at the very end of the game. At the Bears

407
00:19:55,280 --> 00:19:58,760
Speaker 1: twenty timeout management wasn't great for the fourth they had

408
00:19:58,760 --> 00:20:01,879
Speaker 1: no timeouts left, there was a runoff. It was a mess.

409
00:20:01,920 --> 00:20:05,280
Speaker 1: But if there was so many things that could have

410
00:20:05,280 --> 00:20:07,600
Speaker 1: happened where the Packers could have kicked the game winning

411
00:20:07,600 --> 00:20:09,240
Speaker 1: field and now they probably would have missed it again.

412
00:20:09,600 --> 00:20:13,320
Speaker 1: But they missed two field goals, an extra point, and

413
00:20:13,400 --> 00:20:16,320
Speaker 1: the Bears got a two point conversion, not at the

414
00:20:16,760 --> 00:20:20,879
Speaker 1: nine points of those hidden points, and all of those

415
00:20:21,119 --> 00:20:25,000
Speaker 1: cumulatively led to a four point lead. If one of

416
00:20:25,000 --> 00:20:28,200
Speaker 1: those things goes the other way, the Packers are kicking

417
00:20:28,200 --> 00:20:29,840
Speaker 1: a field load to tie or to take the order

418
00:20:29,840 --> 00:20:34,359
Speaker 1: to win. Instead they have to throw off a hail Mary.

419
00:20:34,400 --> 00:20:37,679
Speaker 1: And at the end they had their backup right tackle,

420
00:20:37,680 --> 00:20:40,159
Speaker 1: their third string center, and their backup left tackle in

421
00:20:40,200 --> 00:20:43,439
Speaker 1: the game. But I did think that Dennis Allen. I

422
00:20:43,480 --> 00:20:46,240
Speaker 1: thought the Lafour play call wasn't great, but I thought

423
00:20:46,240 --> 00:20:51,119
Speaker 1: that Dennis allen adjustments on defense and the additional some

424
00:20:51,160 --> 00:20:55,040
Speaker 1: of the pressure packages that he was bringing, I thought

425
00:20:55,080 --> 00:20:56,840
Speaker 1: were very nice in the second half, because that's a

426
00:20:56,880 --> 00:21:03,119
Speaker 1: bad defense. But it just felt like a choke, and

427
00:21:03,160 --> 00:21:04,920
Speaker 1: it just felt like every Bears game all this year.

428
00:21:04,920 --> 00:21:08,119
Speaker 1: I mean, that's their seventh win this year, NFL record,

429
00:21:08,200 --> 00:21:11,080
Speaker 1: seventh win when trailing with under two minutes to go,

430
00:21:11,400 --> 00:21:13,840
Speaker 1: And as someone who had I had the Packers plus one.

431
00:21:13,840 --> 00:21:15,520
Speaker 1: Now again, I thought I was gonna push it worse.

432
00:21:15,600 --> 00:21:20,359
Speaker 1: The losing that game is a nightmare. But the fourth

433
00:21:20,359 --> 00:21:22,679
Speaker 1: and eight, once they got that, I said, I'm in trouble.

434
00:21:24,080 --> 00:21:26,119
Speaker 1: I would have exhaled the game was over if they

435
00:21:26,119 --> 00:21:28,520
Speaker 1: didn't convert that. But that was the play of the game.

436
00:21:29,840 --> 00:21:33,359
Speaker 2: Seriously, I mean that play is just unbelievable when you

437
00:21:33,359 --> 00:21:36,159
Speaker 2: look at I'm back at it, especially almost getting sacked,

438
00:21:36,200 --> 00:21:39,320
Speaker 2: like throwing an almost mid air, just absolutely ridiculous.

439
00:21:39,480 --> 00:21:42,360
Speaker 1: The one thing because Packers had just scored a touchdown

440
00:21:43,000 --> 00:21:45,359
Speaker 1: to go up twenty seven to sixteen with six to go,

441
00:21:46,600 --> 00:21:51,160
Speaker 1: and like, now there's what there was like five to go,

442
00:21:51,320 --> 00:21:55,080
Speaker 1: fourth and eight at midfield. You don't get that it's over.

443
00:21:55,080 --> 00:22:00,040
Speaker 1: The game's over. So given the circumstances, the stage, and

444
00:22:00,119 --> 00:22:03,600
Speaker 1: then just how incredible that throw you have to hatchip

445
00:22:03,680 --> 00:22:07,160
Speaker 1: Caleb Williams, now the Bears get I mean, how based

446
00:22:07,200 --> 00:22:12,280
Speaker 1: on how everything broke, It's pretty crazy that the Seahawks

447
00:22:13,680 --> 00:22:18,639
Speaker 1: were they were, It looked like they were going to

448
00:22:18,680 --> 00:22:21,320
Speaker 1: get the Packers, and the Packers had a bunch more

449
00:22:21,359 --> 00:22:25,359
Speaker 1: injuries and then the Bears win. So then you're a

450
00:22:25,400 --> 00:22:28,800
Speaker 1: Seahawks fan, you say, shit, we got to play the Rams.

451
00:22:29,880 --> 00:22:34,560
Speaker 1: And then the Eagles get upset at home, which there's

452
00:22:34,600 --> 00:22:37,320
Speaker 1: not a lot of people including myself, saw happening, and

453
00:22:37,359 --> 00:22:40,200
Speaker 1: now they get the forty nine ers. So it went

454
00:22:40,200 --> 00:22:43,439
Speaker 1: from oh, we're getting the Packers for sure up twenty

455
00:22:43,560 --> 00:22:47,119
Speaker 1: one set of twenty one to three, to oh god,

456
00:22:47,280 --> 00:22:50,080
Speaker 1: we're getting the Rams, to okay, we're getting the forty

457
00:22:50,160 --> 00:22:53,960
Speaker 1: nine ers. So what roller coaster promotions for Seahawks fans despite.

458
00:22:53,640 --> 00:22:58,000
Speaker 2: Not playing seriously, absolutely unreal to go back and forth

459
00:22:58,000 --> 00:23:00,080
Speaker 2: and now Seattle looks like there are seven and a

460
00:23:00,119 --> 00:23:03,080
Speaker 2: half point favorite against the Niners and Rams are land

461
00:23:03,160 --> 00:23:05,520
Speaker 2: three and a half at the moment in Chicago. So

462
00:23:06,119 --> 00:23:06,879
Speaker 2: interesting lines.

463
00:23:06,920 --> 00:23:13,240
Speaker 1: Nonetheless, touch down swing Seriously the Eagles result, you would

464
00:23:13,240 --> 00:23:18,880
Speaker 1: go from a toss up game probably to somewhere around

465
00:23:18,920 --> 00:23:22,919
Speaker 1: of pick. I mean, now a touchdown plus favor crazy.

466
00:23:22,920 --> 00:23:25,000
Speaker 2: All right, let's do that at San Francisco Philly game quickly.

467
00:23:25,080 --> 00:23:27,719
Speaker 2: So San Francisco does end up winning twenty three nineteen

468
00:23:27,840 --> 00:23:30,040
Speaker 2: five and a half point road dogs total under forty

469
00:23:30,040 --> 00:23:32,080
Speaker 2: four and a half. I thought this one. This line

470
00:23:32,119 --> 00:23:34,840
Speaker 2: is fantastic. So from Shield Capatia, who used to work

471
00:23:34,880 --> 00:23:37,800
Speaker 2: with me at ESPN. Niners produced the highest single game

472
00:23:37,880 --> 00:23:41,399
Speaker 2: offensive success rate against the Eagles since Fangio became their DC.

473
00:23:41,800 --> 00:23:45,200
Speaker 2: It was just the perfect game plan for what Shanahan

474
00:23:45,240 --> 00:23:48,439
Speaker 2: put together here. San Francisco defense pretty much showed up

475
00:23:48,440 --> 00:23:51,919
Speaker 2: here with their six seventh eighth linebackers out there, But

476
00:23:51,960 --> 00:23:54,600
Speaker 2: really it was probably just an inept Philly offensive game.

477
00:23:55,080 --> 00:23:57,719
Speaker 2: It hurts his fifteen in completions, just one hundred and

478
00:23:57,760 --> 00:24:02,199
Speaker 2: sixty eight yards passing Rady under QBR of forty and

479
00:24:02,280 --> 00:24:04,120
Speaker 2: to me, this is what probably gets at the most.

480
00:24:04,200 --> 00:24:08,120
Speaker 2: So late passdowns he was at thirty one percent success

481
00:24:08,200 --> 00:24:12,399
Speaker 2: right and passing to Davanta Goddard, Barkley and aj he

482
00:24:12,440 --> 00:24:16,840
Speaker 2: went eighteen of thirty one, So that's thirteen incompletions, a

483
00:24:16,840 --> 00:24:20,679
Speaker 2: lot off target, a lot in pass breaks to those guys.

484
00:24:21,119 --> 00:24:23,560
Speaker 2: And this one was the best, which Juwan Jennings had

485
00:24:23,560 --> 00:24:27,200
Speaker 2: more completed passes of fifteen plus yards air than Jalen

486
00:24:27,280 --> 00:24:31,240
Speaker 2: Hurts did, who went zero for five. Just absolutely terrible

487
00:24:31,280 --> 00:24:33,200
Speaker 2: from my opinion on the offensive side of the ball.

488
00:24:33,200 --> 00:24:35,080
Speaker 2: That really let him up, because Saquan had a good game.

489
00:24:35,119 --> 00:24:37,119
Speaker 2: But what do you make of this one?

490
00:24:37,560 --> 00:24:39,520
Speaker 1: Yes, one thing I got right this weekend was the

491
00:24:39,600 --> 00:24:42,640
Speaker 1: under which I thought, which I thought was gonna get

492
00:24:42,680 --> 00:24:43,760
Speaker 1: ruined at the toast.

493
00:24:43,840 --> 00:24:45,480
Speaker 2: Yeah, I thought the.

494
00:24:45,400 --> 00:24:48,399
Speaker 1: Eagles were going down at scoring. But this is again

495
00:24:48,840 --> 00:24:52,040
Speaker 1: a microcosm of the year for the Philadelphia Eagles. And

496
00:24:52,480 --> 00:24:55,840
Speaker 1: even playing this beat up and already bad forty nine

497
00:24:55,920 --> 00:24:59,560
Speaker 1: ers defense that were down their top four linebackers, they

498
00:24:59,600 --> 00:25:03,640
Speaker 1: score are they go on a sixteen play, ninety four

499
00:25:03,760 --> 00:25:08,800
Speaker 1: yard nine minute drive to call thirteen to seven midway

500
00:25:08,840 --> 00:25:17,240
Speaker 1: through the second quarter, and then from on their next three, four, five,

501
00:25:17,359 --> 00:25:22,400
Speaker 1: their next five drives twenty seven plays for twenty six yards,

502
00:25:23,600 --> 00:25:26,879
Speaker 1: taking them midway through the fourth quarter. That was the

503
00:25:26,920 --> 00:25:30,400
Speaker 1: Eagles offense all year, no matter who they were playing,

504
00:25:31,000 --> 00:25:34,840
Speaker 1: they would go these long stretches where they couldn't do anything.

505
00:25:35,600 --> 00:25:38,720
Speaker 1: I mean, it is and like it to play calling

506
00:25:38,840 --> 00:25:41,360
Speaker 1: is bad. We know Patoola is bad. It's not creative.

507
00:25:41,400 --> 00:25:44,639
Speaker 1: It's just hitch routes. And some of the runs were

508
00:25:45,160 --> 00:25:47,520
Speaker 1: But the biggest thing is their offensive line is so

509
00:25:47,640 --> 00:25:50,280
Speaker 1: much like how many times did you see Barkley who

510
00:25:50,359 --> 00:25:53,200
Speaker 1: still have you actually just give them space? He will

511
00:25:53,320 --> 00:25:56,280
Speaker 1: go for ten to fifteen plus yards. How many times

512
00:25:56,280 --> 00:25:59,560
Speaker 1: all year, including today was Barkley hit as soon as

513
00:25:59,600 --> 00:26:02,320
Speaker 1: you're handing the ball off, hit stuffed in the backfield. Ian.

514
00:26:02,320 --> 00:26:05,400
Speaker 1: They were thirtieth in the NFL and stuff right. Obviously,

515
00:26:05,440 --> 00:26:08,760
Speaker 1: no Lane Johnson today hurt their offenses night and day

516
00:26:08,840 --> 00:26:13,439
Speaker 1: with him. But this was it kind of just summed

517
00:26:13,520 --> 00:26:16,960
Speaker 1: up the Eagle season with their offense and the drafts

518
00:26:17,000 --> 00:26:20,520
Speaker 1: that they went on. The u have Siriani blowing up

519
00:26:20,520 --> 00:26:23,720
Speaker 1: on the sidelines with AJ Brown and then AJ Brown

520
00:26:23,760 --> 00:26:26,280
Speaker 1: doesn't catch a pass, a couple drops the whole rest

521
00:26:26,320 --> 00:26:29,719
Speaker 1: of the way, the AJ Brown discourse and the Sirianni

522
00:26:29,800 --> 00:26:35,919
Speaker 1: Putuila discourse on WIP and what is the ninety seventy

523
00:26:35,920 --> 00:26:38,600
Speaker 1: five whatever the radio station is For the next couple

524
00:26:38,600 --> 00:26:42,840
Speaker 1: of weeks, it's going to be interesting in Philly. But yeah,

525
00:26:42,880 --> 00:26:45,800
Speaker 1: I was shot at the Niners with and even after

526
00:26:45,880 --> 00:26:50,080
Speaker 1: losing Kittle. Yeah, and they lost the turnover battle to

527
00:26:50,119 --> 00:26:54,280
Speaker 1: nothing pretty had two bad picks. But I was shot

528
00:26:54,359 --> 00:26:56,679
Speaker 1: that they were able to push the ball down the

529
00:26:56,680 --> 00:27:01,879
Speaker 1: field and hit explosives on this Eagles defense in twenty

530
00:27:01,920 --> 00:27:03,680
Speaker 1: five to thirty mile an hour wins. They had a bunch.

531
00:27:03,720 --> 00:27:08,200
Speaker 1: I mean, DeMarcus Robinson had a day. He went off

532
00:27:08,359 --> 00:27:14,080
Speaker 1: and look, everyone knew the Eagles offense had issues. Everyone

533
00:27:14,119 --> 00:27:17,000
Speaker 1: knew Jake Elliott had a down year. And by the way,

534
00:27:17,040 --> 00:27:19,600
Speaker 1: I know san Fran missed an extra point, but Elliots

535
00:27:19,640 --> 00:27:22,520
Speaker 1: missed extra point. You had that ind you can kick

536
00:27:22,520 --> 00:27:25,240
Speaker 1: a field goal late, like these little things in the

537
00:27:25,280 --> 00:27:29,560
Speaker 1: playoffs makes such a difference. But I would be remiss

538
00:27:29,560 --> 00:27:34,480
Speaker 1: if I didn't give you gave Shanahan credit. I'll look

539
00:27:34,520 --> 00:27:37,159
Speaker 1: at it from the other side. The Eagles defense deserves

540
00:27:37,200 --> 00:27:40,840
Speaker 1: criticism here. This was the unit that's carried them all

541
00:27:40,920 --> 00:27:44,119
Speaker 1: year and you're going up against you know, I mean

542
00:27:44,160 --> 00:27:46,320
Speaker 1: Fango has own Shanahan in the past four head to

543
00:27:46,359 --> 00:27:48,400
Speaker 1: head meetings. He's averaged ten and a half points per game,

544
00:27:48,960 --> 00:27:52,640
Speaker 1: never cleared fifteen. And the forty nine ers, even after

545
00:27:52,800 --> 00:27:57,520
Speaker 1: losing Kittle, there's no Ricky Piersoll. They gained three hundred

546
00:27:57,520 --> 00:28:01,480
Speaker 1: and sixty one yards six point two yards per play,

547
00:28:02,160 --> 00:28:04,239
Speaker 1: and there was no run game to speak of, and

548
00:28:04,280 --> 00:28:07,879
Speaker 1: there was thirty mile an hour wins. And you have

549
00:28:08,040 --> 00:28:13,199
Speaker 1: the lead late, kick a field goal, I'll off of

550
00:28:13,240 --> 00:28:17,119
Speaker 1: an interception and you let them go ten plays sixty

551
00:28:17,160 --> 00:28:21,520
Speaker 1: six yards and score a touchdown that you cannot let them.

552
00:28:21,880 --> 00:28:23,640
Speaker 1: At worst, you have to hold them to a field

553
00:28:23,680 --> 00:28:28,160
Speaker 1: goal there. But credit to forty nine ers. The Eagles defense,

554
00:28:28,200 --> 00:28:30,560
Speaker 1: they were great all year. They do deserve blame for

555
00:28:31,320 --> 00:28:34,280
Speaker 1: that performance today because it wasn't great. So yeah, credit

556
00:28:34,320 --> 00:28:36,919
Speaker 1: to the forty nine ers is an all I sawad

557
00:28:37,080 --> 00:28:41,160
Speaker 1: was great. They didn't allow the explosives there was. I mean,

558
00:28:41,280 --> 00:28:45,320
Speaker 1: Eric Hendricks made the made he deflected the game winning pass,

559
00:28:46,840 --> 00:28:50,760
Speaker 1: and like, yeah, there was the toola can't be back?

560
00:28:50,960 --> 00:28:54,920
Speaker 1: You have this roster has way too much talent to

561
00:28:55,040 --> 00:28:58,600
Speaker 1: be coordinated like that. I don't even know, well, SIRIANNII back,

562
00:28:58,640 --> 00:29:01,640
Speaker 1: I don't know, I mean not he The Eagles are ruthless,

563
00:29:01,840 --> 00:29:05,479
Speaker 1: they have a very good organization, a very good GM.

564
00:29:05,640 --> 00:29:09,760
Speaker 1: They're run very well. Yeah, like.

565
00:29:12,720 --> 00:29:14,680
Speaker 2: This is a loss that just can't happen, right, I

566
00:29:14,680 --> 00:29:17,760
Speaker 2: mean like even watching this game, Phillies up three, Phillies

567
00:29:17,840 --> 00:29:19,440
Speaker 2: up six, whatever it was, it was like, Okay, they're

568
00:29:19,480 --> 00:29:21,600
Speaker 2: gonna do enough to win this and we're gonna talk

569
00:29:21,600 --> 00:29:23,560
Speaker 2: the entire week about how it didn't look good but

570
00:29:23,600 --> 00:29:26,960
Speaker 2: they want anyway. Uh And San Francisco was like screw that,

571
00:29:27,120 --> 00:29:29,000
Speaker 2: Like we're we're honestly just gonna take this game no

572
00:29:29,040 --> 00:29:31,600
Speaker 2: matter who's on the field. Yeah. I kind of had forgetten,

573
00:29:31,680 --> 00:29:34,200
Speaker 2: like forgotten and then blanked out about the Kittle thing.

574
00:29:34,240 --> 00:29:37,240
Speaker 2: But I mean not, I mean adding the Kittle injury

575
00:29:37,280 --> 00:29:39,560
Speaker 2: to everything else they were going through and then they

576
00:29:39,640 --> 00:29:43,240
Speaker 2: still come out on top. Just honestly, probably one of

577
00:29:43,240 --> 00:29:45,600
Speaker 2: those shocks. I mean, if Carolina had one, which we'll

578
00:29:45,600 --> 00:29:48,240
Speaker 2: talk about in a second, obviously more shocking. But this

579
00:29:48,440 --> 00:29:50,640
Speaker 2: was it. I mean, this was the craziest. I couldn't

580
00:29:50,640 --> 00:29:53,320
Speaker 2: have even imagined this with all the injuries. I line

581
00:29:53,320 --> 00:29:54,920
Speaker 2: got up to six middle of the week, close at

582
00:29:54,960 --> 00:29:57,360
Speaker 2: five and a half, but wild nonetheless, And the thing

583
00:29:57,440 --> 00:30:00,720
Speaker 2: was San Francisco also gave them two turnovers, so they

584
00:30:00,800 --> 00:30:04,040
Speaker 2: turn them, well, yeah, to nothing. The thing that's crazy

585
00:30:04,040 --> 00:30:05,280
Speaker 2: is and I just look, I looked this up before

586
00:30:05,280 --> 00:30:08,080
Speaker 2: we came on, Sirianni has now lost four straight when

587
00:30:08,120 --> 00:30:10,600
Speaker 2: the opponent has two plus turnovers. He was twenty five

588
00:30:10,640 --> 00:30:13,240
Speaker 2: and two prior to that. So, I mean, lately it

589
00:30:13,400 --> 00:30:16,640
Speaker 2: just no matter what happens, close game and Philly's offense

590
00:30:16,680 --> 00:30:17,360
Speaker 2: doesn't come through.

591
00:30:17,440 --> 00:30:22,280
Speaker 1: But shot, there's like these the Hurts never turns it over, right,

592
00:30:22,320 --> 00:30:27,000
Speaker 1: they don't they The Eagles never turn Sometimes. That's like

593
00:30:27,080 --> 00:30:30,280
Speaker 1: I feel like it's bad in a way because they

594
00:30:30,360 --> 00:30:32,760
Speaker 1: just they don't take risks, right, They're like, it's just

595
00:30:33,560 --> 00:30:36,760
Speaker 1: these how many times on second and long and sometimes

596
00:30:36,800 --> 00:30:38,400
Speaker 1: on third long were they running the ball.

597
00:30:39,880 --> 00:30:40,840
Speaker 2: Play not to lose.

598
00:30:41,160 --> 00:30:44,040
Speaker 1: Yeah, they're just playing to like pull these games out

599
00:30:44,520 --> 00:30:48,600
Speaker 1: by a field goal bear, and like that's tough to do.

600
00:30:48,640 --> 00:30:51,360
Speaker 1: They just need a whole new offense, new off score,

601
00:30:51,440 --> 00:30:52,320
Speaker 1: in a new philosophy.

602
00:30:52,800 --> 00:30:55,320
Speaker 2: This is like, this is like not making the playoffs, honestly,

603
00:30:55,400 --> 00:30:57,600
Speaker 2: like it pretty much is going to be looked at

604
00:30:57,720 --> 00:30:59,680
Speaker 2: very similarly to lose a game as like a six

605
00:30:59,720 --> 00:31:02,640
Speaker 2: point favorite at home to a team that's the walking dead.

606
00:31:03,120 --> 00:31:05,680
Speaker 1: All right, I will say the line moves something that.

607
00:31:06,200 --> 00:31:06,440
Speaker 2: Look.

608
00:31:06,480 --> 00:31:08,800
Speaker 1: The best thing you can do betting the NFL, and

609
00:31:08,920 --> 00:31:11,680
Speaker 1: even in the playoffs, where lines are even more efficient,

610
00:31:12,120 --> 00:31:13,640
Speaker 1: is get the best of the number. It's the best

611
00:31:13,640 --> 00:31:15,600
Speaker 1: thing you can do. Now, this weekend didn't really work out.

612
00:31:15,720 --> 00:31:18,800
Speaker 1: Didn't work out for me in particular. I could think

613
00:31:18,840 --> 00:31:23,800
Speaker 1: of Packers. I had the Panthers under forty nine Ers

614
00:31:23,880 --> 00:31:28,360
Speaker 1: under least worked out. But if you had the Jags,

615
00:31:28,960 --> 00:31:32,640
Speaker 1: I mean Jags took real money. Jags at some sharp

616
00:31:32,680 --> 00:31:37,040
Speaker 1: shops closed two and a half, opened a dog. And

617
00:31:37,040 --> 00:31:40,800
Speaker 1: then the Eagles they were sitting three and a half close.

618
00:31:41,320 --> 00:31:43,360
Speaker 1: I think it closed five and a half right there, Yeah,

619
00:31:43,840 --> 00:31:45,880
Speaker 1: close five and a half linked with Lane Johnson now

620
00:31:45,920 --> 00:31:50,480
Speaker 1: Trent Williams in. But you beat that line. Over the

621
00:31:50,480 --> 00:31:52,240
Speaker 1: long run, that's going to work out. But this week

622
00:31:53,720 --> 00:31:57,000
Speaker 1: for some of the bigger line moves didn't work out.

623
00:31:57,080 --> 00:31:59,560
Speaker 1: But short sample size, can't overreact all.

624
00:31:59,560 --> 00:32:02,360
Speaker 2: Right, speak of lines in craziness. Rams beat the point

625
00:32:02,440 --> 00:32:05,280
Speaker 2: Panthers thirty four to thirty one. They close a ten

626
00:32:05,360 --> 00:32:08,520
Speaker 2: point road favorites total over forty five. So yeah, Carolina

627
00:32:08,560 --> 00:32:10,880
Speaker 2: does close plus ten time for the biggest home dog

628
00:32:10,920 --> 00:32:14,680
Speaker 2: in playoff history. But listen, Carolina was inside or pushing

629
00:32:14,680 --> 00:32:18,120
Speaker 2: the number the entire game, the entire game. So I mean,

630
00:32:18,200 --> 00:32:20,320
Speaker 2: there was a chance for the Rams to go up.

631
00:32:21,440 --> 00:32:24,040
Speaker 2: You know, it could have been it could have been thirteen,

632
00:32:24,120 --> 00:32:26,360
Speaker 2: that could have been sixteen or seventeen. But there was

633
00:32:26,400 --> 00:32:28,720
Speaker 2: an opportunity there that kind of blow the game away,

634
00:32:28,960 --> 00:32:31,960
Speaker 2: and they almost really blew this one. I mean seriously,

635
00:32:32,280 --> 00:32:35,280
Speaker 2: a few opportunities there late in the game where it

636
00:32:35,320 --> 00:32:38,520
Speaker 2: could have definitely gone Carolina's way, especially after that late turnover.

637
00:32:39,280 --> 00:32:41,160
Speaker 2: I will say this home dog's of four plus and

638
00:32:41,240 --> 00:32:43,360
Speaker 2: now nine to zerogainst the spread last fifty years. In

639
00:32:43,400 --> 00:32:45,840
Speaker 2: the playoffs, we will see if the Bears get there.

640
00:32:46,000 --> 00:32:48,160
Speaker 2: Pretty crazy for a two seed home dog in the

641
00:32:48,200 --> 00:32:52,200
Speaker 2: divisional round. But nonetheless, all I really have to say

642
00:32:52,280 --> 00:32:55,720
Speaker 2: is like Bryce Young played formidable, Like the numbers were

643
00:32:56,080 --> 00:32:59,480
Speaker 2: all right, he had a positive EPA. But he goes

644
00:32:59,520 --> 00:33:03,280
Speaker 2: four of seventeen passing under pressure. Just not something you

645
00:33:03,320 --> 00:33:06,160
Speaker 2: can do and something typical to what Bryce Young usually does.

646
00:33:06,800 --> 00:33:09,880
Speaker 2: And then you look at the other side, Stafford, three touchdowns,

647
00:33:09,920 --> 00:33:11,840
Speaker 2: no picks, two hundred and forty four yards in a

648
00:33:11,880 --> 00:33:14,760
Speaker 2: clean pocket, and under pressure he goes five to thirteen

649
00:33:14,800 --> 00:33:17,920
Speaker 2: with an interception and the what you would have expected,

650
00:33:18,360 --> 00:33:21,320
Speaker 2: thirty one targets to Pooka and Davante. So going to

651
00:33:21,320 --> 00:33:22,600
Speaker 2: the people he trusts in this one.

652
00:33:23,880 --> 00:33:29,080
Speaker 1: Yeah, it was at This game was played out nothing

653
00:33:29,160 --> 00:33:32,520
Speaker 1: like I thought it would. Carolina came out throwing. I

654
00:33:32,600 --> 00:33:34,840
Speaker 1: thought they were going to try to run, control the clock,

655
00:33:34,960 --> 00:33:37,440
Speaker 1: shorten the game. Now maybe because they got behind that

656
00:33:37,480 --> 00:33:39,040
Speaker 1: all changed. But yeah, I mean Young threw the ball

657
00:33:39,080 --> 00:33:42,080
Speaker 1: forty times. The only ran it I think twenty Now

658
00:33:42,120 --> 00:33:44,760
Speaker 1: they didn't have much success running it. I thought Quentin Lake,

659
00:33:44,800 --> 00:33:48,320
Speaker 1: who returned from injury, had a really bad game. He's

660
00:33:48,320 --> 00:33:49,720
Speaker 1: a good player, and I thought it was gonna help

661
00:33:49,760 --> 00:33:51,600
Speaker 1: the defense. But that looked like there was some rust

662
00:33:51,640 --> 00:33:58,080
Speaker 1: and the speed wasn't there. And I mean Davante missing time.

663
00:33:58,480 --> 00:34:00,520
Speaker 1: He didn't look great. I mean he had five catches,

664
00:34:00,560 --> 00:34:03,000
Speaker 1: he was targeted. How many times was he targeted a lot?

665
00:34:03,400 --> 00:34:09,160
Speaker 1: Like fourteen times? Yeah, so Nikoua was incredible. Stafford, I

666
00:34:09,200 --> 00:34:14,239
Speaker 1: thought he struggled a bit against again his old coordinator.

667
00:34:14,600 --> 00:34:20,480
Speaker 1: These these coverages where they disguise and shift post snap,

668
00:34:21,040 --> 00:34:23,880
Speaker 1: these mass coverages. He struggled a bit again, but in

669
00:34:23,920 --> 00:34:28,200
Speaker 1: the end they were covered and they put that drive

670
00:34:28,239 --> 00:34:30,280
Speaker 1: together at the end of the game. Seven plays, seventy

671
00:34:30,320 --> 00:34:36,520
Speaker 1: one yards, incredible throw by Stafford down the sidelines and

672
00:34:36,560 --> 00:34:40,800
Speaker 1: they got a Yeah. That was crazy. So I was

673
00:34:40,840 --> 00:34:42,919
Speaker 1: shocked at the The Banter scored thirty one the first

674
00:34:42,960 --> 00:34:45,520
Speaker 1: time it won, but that was on you know, a

675
00:34:45,600 --> 00:34:49,040
Speaker 1: pick six, a couple of fourth down busted plays. I

676
00:34:49,080 --> 00:34:50,439
Speaker 1: did not think they were going to get to thirty

677
00:34:50,480 --> 00:34:53,360
Speaker 1: one this time around. So I'm I'm not sure what

678
00:34:53,360 --> 00:34:56,879
Speaker 1: the make of the Rams. In short, like I thought,

679
00:34:56,920 --> 00:34:58,640
Speaker 1: like a month ago, this is a team. If you

680
00:34:58,680 --> 00:35:01,839
Speaker 1: said who's in the Super Bowl. I would have confidently said,

681
00:35:01,840 --> 00:35:04,919
Speaker 1: all right, I'm going to pick the Rams, and then

682
00:35:05,080 --> 00:35:09,680
Speaker 1: you know, down they're up. They're dominating. The Seahawks look

683
00:35:09,800 --> 00:35:13,960
Speaker 1: like they're poised to get the one seed. They melt

684
00:35:14,000 --> 00:35:18,399
Speaker 1: away that game they lose in Atlanta. They don't look

685
00:35:18,440 --> 00:35:21,160
Speaker 1: great and you know, wanting to try for the first

686
00:35:21,239 --> 00:35:24,040
Speaker 1: two and a half quarters against the Cardinals, and they

687
00:35:24,080 --> 00:35:27,759
Speaker 1: eke this game out against Carolina. I got to dig

688
00:35:27,760 --> 00:35:29,480
Speaker 1: more into the Rams on what's going on because it

689
00:35:29,480 --> 00:35:30,959
Speaker 1: hasn't looked pretty for the last month.

690
00:35:31,600 --> 00:35:33,160
Speaker 2: Ano they're lay in three and a half or four

691
00:35:33,200 --> 00:35:35,640
Speaker 2: in the Chicago team who maybe won't be there in

692
00:35:35,640 --> 00:35:37,080
Speaker 2: the first half, but you know they will be there

693
00:35:37,080 --> 00:35:39,240
Speaker 2: in the second. The two things I'll.

694
00:35:39,320 --> 00:35:42,000
Speaker 1: Set the Bears when they go down seventeen.

695
00:35:42,680 --> 00:35:44,360
Speaker 2: The two things I saw from the Rams in this

696
00:35:44,400 --> 00:35:46,279
Speaker 2: game that I guess are kind of puzzling. So they

697
00:35:46,280 --> 00:35:48,839
Speaker 2: get nine penalties and this is coming from the least

698
00:35:48,920 --> 00:35:51,080
Speaker 2: penalized team in the NFL during the season.

699
00:35:51,120 --> 00:35:53,400
Speaker 1: The least penalized team in five years.

700
00:35:53,800 --> 00:35:57,360
Speaker 2: Yeah, they had twelve percent of their entire regular season

701
00:35:57,360 --> 00:36:00,600
Speaker 2: penalties in this game. I mean that that is how crazy,

702
00:36:00,640 --> 00:36:04,120
Speaker 2: And I guess undisciplined to a tee. They were in

703
00:36:04,160 --> 00:36:05,759
Speaker 2: this one and the other this is the other one,

704
00:36:05,760 --> 00:36:08,160
Speaker 2: and you had mentioned it. But Carolina going four to

705
00:36:08,200 --> 00:36:10,719
Speaker 2: four in the red zone and Cocher and Tech going

706
00:36:10,800 --> 00:36:13,680
Speaker 2: fourteen of two fifteen, that's a problem. And you had

707
00:36:13,760 --> 00:36:17,680
Speaker 2: mentioned Lake. But their secondary, the pass players they allow.

708
00:36:17,960 --> 00:36:19,799
Speaker 2: To me, that's like part of the issue. And you're

709
00:36:19,840 --> 00:36:22,279
Speaker 2: going up against I'm gonna call them the magician, but

710
00:36:22,360 --> 00:36:24,920
Speaker 2: right now that's kind of what Caleb's doing. So I

711
00:36:24,960 --> 00:36:28,520
Speaker 2: mean between Burden and Rome getting another week of healthy

712
00:36:29,000 --> 00:36:31,000
Speaker 2: coming off of this one, and I just there's on

713
00:36:31,200 --> 00:36:33,320
Speaker 2: DJ Moore, there's a lot of options there for Chicago.

714
00:36:33,320 --> 00:36:34,520
Speaker 2: I think it's a little bit of a worry.

715
00:36:34,840 --> 00:36:38,920
Speaker 1: Yeah, the Rams secondary by far is the most questionable

716
00:36:38,960 --> 00:36:41,879
Speaker 1: aspect of their team and what ultimately might hold them

717
00:36:41,880 --> 00:36:43,920
Speaker 1: back for ast of well, I mean going back to

718
00:36:44,840 --> 00:36:50,000
Speaker 1: let's start the November thirtieth when they played the Panthers,

719
00:36:50,000 --> 00:36:53,000
Speaker 1: they gave up thirty one and lost. They played the

720
00:36:53,040 --> 00:36:56,799
Speaker 1: Cardinals with like they were a backup team. But the

721
00:36:56,840 --> 00:36:59,680
Speaker 1: Cardinals are moving the ball in that game, like throwing

722
00:36:59,719 --> 00:37:01,560
Speaker 1: the ball. Oh well, they give up. Then they give

723
00:37:01,600 --> 00:37:05,240
Speaker 1: up thirty four to the Lions. Thirty eight to the Seahawks,

724
00:37:05,840 --> 00:37:08,560
Speaker 1: twenty seven of the Falcons in a loss, and then

725
00:37:08,600 --> 00:37:10,759
Speaker 1: you know they play the backup Cardinals again. Cardinals are

726
00:37:10,760 --> 00:37:12,800
Speaker 1: moving the ball in that game too, and then thirty

727
00:37:12,840 --> 00:37:15,480
Speaker 1: one of the Panther. So like, this defense over the

728
00:37:15,560 --> 00:37:18,160
Speaker 1: last month and a half has regularly given up thirty

729
00:37:18,160 --> 00:37:21,880
Speaker 1: one to thirty three thirty eight points sets, and the

730
00:37:21,920 --> 00:37:25,600
Speaker 1: Bears have the talent to take advantage. We'll just see

731
00:37:25,640 --> 00:37:26,920
Speaker 1: how far behind they get first.

732
00:37:27,560 --> 00:37:30,560
Speaker 2: Yeah. Crazy, Well that was wild card weekend. Here's your

745
00:38:14,760 --> 00:38:19,000
Speaker 2: look at the board, it is Texans minus three, sitting

746
00:38:19,000 --> 00:38:20,840
Speaker 2: at minus one oh five, so that seems to be

747
00:38:20,840 --> 00:38:23,760
Speaker 2: coming down a bit thirty eight and a half. Which

748
00:38:24,000 --> 00:38:25,560
Speaker 2: the fun thing about thirty eight and a half, It

749
00:38:25,640 --> 00:38:30,000
Speaker 2: is the lowest playoff total since I believe brock Osweiler

750
00:38:30,160 --> 00:38:33,560
Speaker 2: Connor Cook twenty sixteen seventeen, So we haven't seen a

751
00:38:33,600 --> 00:38:37,360
Speaker 2: playoff total this low in some time. But stuck, I

752
00:38:37,400 --> 00:38:38,839
Speaker 2: will leave it to you, like, what do you think

753
00:38:38,840 --> 00:38:40,759
Speaker 2: about this game? I have a pick or two and

754
00:38:40,840 --> 00:38:42,680
Speaker 2: some trends, but what do you make of this one?

755
00:38:44,480 --> 00:38:47,680
Speaker 1: I mean, I think the line. I think like taking

756
00:38:47,719 --> 00:38:49,320
Speaker 1: out all the three and a half on the Steelers

757
00:38:49,360 --> 00:38:53,880
Speaker 1: made sense. The low scoring game home dog Rogers can

758
00:38:53,880 --> 00:38:56,319
Speaker 1: get the ball out quick to neutralize some of that

759
00:38:56,880 --> 00:39:00,279
Speaker 1: Texans pressure. The issue is going to be is if

760
00:39:00,320 --> 00:39:03,879
Speaker 1: they don't, it's gonna be hard to maintain drives. Right,

761
00:39:03,920 --> 00:39:07,880
Speaker 1: So like if you you could have a couple first downs,

762
00:39:07,880 --> 00:39:09,720
Speaker 1: but then if you have if you're incomplete on first

763
00:39:09,800 --> 00:39:13,080
Speaker 1: run for two on second on those third and longs.

764
00:39:13,680 --> 00:39:16,440
Speaker 1: Rogers against that pressure, and he's been bad against pressure

765
00:39:16,480 --> 00:39:19,279
Speaker 1: year it's not gonna go well. On the other end,

766
00:39:19,840 --> 00:39:23,080
Speaker 1: Stroud has been really bad against the Blitz. The Steelers

767
00:39:23,160 --> 00:39:25,480
Speaker 1: defense is getting healthier. You never know what you're gonna

768
00:39:25,480 --> 00:39:27,319
Speaker 1: get from the Steelers defense. So like some weeks they

769
00:39:27,360 --> 00:39:29,680
Speaker 1: look incredible, some weeks it looks broken. There's gonna be

770
00:39:29,719 --> 00:39:32,800
Speaker 1: some bus which adds some variants here, but they also

771
00:39:33,239 --> 00:39:36,640
Speaker 1: tend to have those splash plays from their defensive line,

772
00:39:36,760 --> 00:39:40,879
Speaker 1: the strip sacks, the interceptions, how many of those can

773
00:39:40,920 --> 00:39:43,640
Speaker 1: they get will probably go a long way in determining

774
00:39:43,680 --> 00:39:46,440
Speaker 1: this game. You know, it's also we'll see how you know,

775
00:39:46,480 --> 00:39:49,279
Speaker 1: Stroud and an indoor team going to outdoors and in

776
00:39:49,280 --> 00:39:53,480
Speaker 1: freezing cold temperatures. That's at least worth noting. I think

777
00:39:53,520 --> 00:39:54,799
Speaker 1: if you want to bet this game, I don't have

778
00:39:54,840 --> 00:39:58,080
Speaker 1: anything right now, but this game is on Monday, you're

779
00:39:58,120 --> 00:40:02,320
Speaker 1: gonna have lines. How you know, you already have the Seahawks, Niners,

780
00:40:02,360 --> 00:40:06,560
Speaker 1: line out the Rams Bears if you like something next week.

781
00:40:07,320 --> 00:40:09,719
Speaker 1: I think the Steelers are a good teaser piece to

782
00:40:09,880 --> 00:40:14,200
Speaker 1: pair with, you know, say, getting Seattle from seven and

783
00:40:14,200 --> 00:40:18,080
Speaker 1: a half to one and a half. It's just an

784
00:40:18,120 --> 00:40:20,439
Speaker 1: ideal teaser piece. The total is thirty eight and a half.

785
00:40:21,239 --> 00:40:23,040
Speaker 1: I know it's not the line's at two and a half,

786
00:40:23,080 --> 00:40:25,759
Speaker 1: but it's a juice three, you know, so you're crossing three, four,

787
00:40:25,880 --> 00:40:30,719
Speaker 1: six seven. So yeah, I think the Steelers teaser piece

788
00:40:31,400 --> 00:40:34,080
Speaker 1: is a good look, but this will probably come down

789
00:40:34,600 --> 00:40:39,800
Speaker 1: to which defense can force the more critical turnover because

790
00:40:40,160 --> 00:40:42,440
Speaker 1: this one should be tight throughout.

791
00:40:43,680 --> 00:40:45,000
Speaker 2: Yeah. I mean, if I had to pick a winner,

792
00:40:45,120 --> 00:40:47,480
Speaker 2: I like Houston, but I think the line's just right

793
00:40:47,560 --> 00:40:49,440
Speaker 2: and I'm not comfortable really laying three to three and

794
00:40:49,480 --> 00:40:51,200
Speaker 2: a half with a three eight and a half total,

795
00:40:51,640 --> 00:40:53,719
Speaker 2: so I buy that. The one thing I think is

796
00:40:53,760 --> 00:40:55,800
Speaker 2: interesting is obviously you get t game Metcalf back in

797
00:40:55,840 --> 00:40:58,319
Speaker 2: the game, but if you've watched any Steelers games this year,

798
00:40:58,560 --> 00:41:01,759
Speaker 2: the chemistry between Metcalf and Rodgers is pretty much zero. Like,

799
00:41:01,920 --> 00:41:04,640
Speaker 2: I feel like he is not his favorite target. Now

800
00:41:04,680 --> 00:41:06,560
Speaker 2: will he force it there? Like he tends to just

801
00:41:06,640 --> 00:41:10,400
Speaker 2: throw to his guys mvs or the tight ends. Like

802
00:41:10,480 --> 00:41:13,040
Speaker 2: it's just Rogers is set in his ways. So it'll

803
00:41:13,080 --> 00:41:16,000
Speaker 2: be interesting to me how Metcalf kind of gets brought

804
00:41:16,120 --> 00:41:19,839
Speaker 2: back into the picture after two plus weeks of them

805
00:41:19,960 --> 00:41:23,160
Speaker 2: trying to deal without him, So that to me is interesting.

806
00:41:23,600 --> 00:41:25,440
Speaker 1: Yeah, I don't think I don't think mecav being back

807
00:41:25,560 --> 00:41:29,799
Speaker 1: is as important in some matchups. You know, he could,

808
00:41:29,840 --> 00:41:33,160
Speaker 1: He's worth a couple of points, sure like, but here

809
00:41:35,760 --> 00:41:39,680
Speaker 1: us Stingley, who can just man up against him because

810
00:41:39,680 --> 00:41:41,799
Speaker 1: a lot of times you even in the red zone right,

811
00:41:41,880 --> 00:41:45,800
Speaker 1: you'll see like a safety you know, kind of hovering

812
00:41:45,880 --> 00:41:48,040
Speaker 1: on his side, cheating decide and it might open up

813
00:41:48,080 --> 00:41:51,880
Speaker 1: some other things. But the Texans, you know, with their corners,

814
00:41:51,920 --> 00:41:56,200
Speaker 1: they can trust Stingley. By the way, Leonora followed a J.

815
00:41:56,360 --> 00:41:58,719
Speaker 1: Browny he never followed all year, and he followed a J.

816
00:41:58,800 --> 00:42:00,719
Speaker 1: Brown today. Don't they just kive him on he didn't

817
00:42:00,719 --> 00:42:02,360
Speaker 1: follow jsn all year. I'm curious to see if that

818
00:42:02,400 --> 00:42:05,680
Speaker 1: they changed that next week. But yeah, so he's not

819
00:42:05,719 --> 00:42:08,120
Speaker 1: as important, but he does have the big play ability,

820
00:42:08,200 --> 00:42:11,960
Speaker 1: so like he does have the chance of like taking

821
00:42:12,040 --> 00:42:14,560
Speaker 1: a slant seventy yards right, whereas no one else on

822
00:42:14,719 --> 00:42:17,279
Speaker 1: the Steelers does. So he gives you a little bit

823
00:42:17,320 --> 00:42:20,399
Speaker 1: more upside. But in this particular matchup, I don't think

824
00:42:20,440 --> 00:42:24,400
Speaker 1: he's as big as he would be compared to others.

825
00:42:25,080 --> 00:42:26,800
Speaker 2: And you had mentioned the Stroud thing, I think it

826
00:42:26,920 --> 00:42:28,640
Speaker 2: is worth noting. I mean, he's two and oh straight

827
00:42:28,680 --> 00:42:30,240
Speaker 2: up and against the spread at home in the playoffs,

828
00:42:30,360 --> 00:42:32,920
Speaker 2: zero to two on the road and those you know,

829
00:42:33,480 --> 00:42:36,399
Speaker 2: you hear quarterback stats and you're like, I need more context. Well,

830
00:42:36,600 --> 00:42:39,160
Speaker 2: I mean on those two road games, they've scored twenty

831
00:42:39,160 --> 00:42:42,200
Speaker 2: four total points, scoring fourteen or less in both games.

832
00:42:42,239 --> 00:42:44,880
Speaker 2: You don't need much more contact than that. So that

833
00:42:45,120 --> 00:42:46,840
Speaker 2: has to change if Houston's going to be able to

834
00:42:47,120 --> 00:42:48,799
Speaker 2: produce what they need to do to win this game.

835
00:42:48,880 --> 00:42:51,480
Speaker 2: So to me, that's noteworthy. And then I tweeted this out.

836
00:42:51,640 --> 00:42:54,320
Speaker 2: It's just kind of bonkers that the Steelers have started

837
00:42:54,360 --> 00:42:57,080
Speaker 2: so slow in playoff games. They've been outscored seventy three

838
00:42:57,080 --> 00:43:00,560
Speaker 2: to nothing in their six game playoff lou streak in

839
00:43:00,640 --> 00:43:03,839
Speaker 2: the first quarter, So, I mean, they've scored seven points

840
00:43:03,880 --> 00:43:06,040
Speaker 2: or less than sixty nine straight first quarters. Like you're

841
00:43:06,040 --> 00:43:08,759
Speaker 2: gonna probably need some sort of offense at some point.

842
00:43:08,800 --> 00:43:11,680
Speaker 2: You don't want to fall down seven, ten, thirteen, whatever.

843
00:43:11,840 --> 00:43:14,520
Speaker 2: Is nothing to Houston with that defense. So Pittsburgh's got

844
00:43:14,640 --> 00:43:16,680
Speaker 2: to try to change things up there. So those are

845
00:43:16,719 --> 00:43:18,919
Speaker 2: the things that I thought were kind of noteworthy. I'll

846
00:43:18,960 --> 00:43:20,680
Speaker 2: give you, just sixty.

847
00:43:20,480 --> 00:43:23,680
Speaker 1: Nine straight without scoring more than seven points in the

848
00:43:23,719 --> 00:43:25,280
Speaker 1: first quarter is insane.

849
00:43:25,360 --> 00:43:29,120
Speaker 2: Insane, and it's just and that's through Rudolph and all

850
00:43:29,200 --> 00:43:33,440
Speaker 2: sorts of different garbage. But nonetheless, the three things I

851
00:43:33,560 --> 00:43:35,479
Speaker 2: were looking at were I kind of like wooding marks

852
00:43:35,480 --> 00:43:37,400
Speaker 2: again in the end zone, even in a low scoring game.

853
00:43:37,440 --> 00:43:39,240
Speaker 2: If I had to pick a touchdown, that would probably

854
00:43:39,239 --> 00:43:42,239
Speaker 2: be my guy. I actually really like mvs. Over nine

855
00:43:42,280 --> 00:43:45,000
Speaker 2: and a half for saving yards. I just feel like

856
00:43:45,400 --> 00:43:47,960
Speaker 2: in this type of game, even with Metcalf back, he's

857
00:43:48,000 --> 00:43:49,600
Speaker 2: going to force it into the tight ends. But I

858
00:43:49,680 --> 00:43:51,200
Speaker 2: also think he's going to force it into the guys

859
00:43:51,280 --> 00:43:53,360
Speaker 2: he likes, because that's just who the hell Rodgers is.

860
00:43:53,480 --> 00:43:55,520
Speaker 2: So I like that nine and a half, and I

861
00:43:55,560 --> 00:43:57,960
Speaker 2: would look at Boswell over one and a half field goals.

862
00:43:58,040 --> 00:44:00,279
Speaker 2: I don't love it in this type of game, but again,

863
00:44:00,440 --> 00:44:02,880
Speaker 2: I see Pittsburgh moving the ball up to a certain

864
00:44:02,920 --> 00:44:05,720
Speaker 2: point and then just being Steinmied and Rogers getting sacked

865
00:44:05,760 --> 00:44:08,560
Speaker 2: and whatever. It ends up being incompletions and then they

866
00:44:08,640 --> 00:44:10,439
Speaker 2: end up having to kick field goals. So I don't

867
00:44:10,440 --> 00:44:11,840
Speaker 2: even know what that line is. I didn't look at

868
00:44:11,880 --> 00:44:13,520
Speaker 2: the juice, but over one and a half field goals

869
00:44:13,520 --> 00:44:15,759
Speaker 2: feels like something that'll hit for Boswall. So those are

870
00:44:15,840 --> 00:44:16,439
Speaker 2: my three looks.

871
00:44:17,880 --> 00:44:21,560
Speaker 1: I believe the Giants have the record for that record

872
00:44:21,640 --> 00:44:24,560
Speaker 1: for consecutive games without scoring more than seven points in

873
00:44:24,600 --> 00:44:27,120
Speaker 1: the first quarter, and I think it's current. I think

874
00:44:27,160 --> 00:44:30,680
Speaker 1: it's eighty one. Maybe they broke it this year, but

875
00:44:30,719 --> 00:44:36,759
Speaker 1: I don't think. I think it's eighty games. I'm Giants

876
00:44:38,200 --> 00:44:41,440
Speaker 1: eighty games without scoring.

877
00:44:43,480 --> 00:44:46,480
Speaker 2: The Pittsburgh stack goes back to September of twenty twenty two,

878
00:44:46,880 --> 00:44:49,239
Speaker 2: which is a lot of time for Pittsburgh in a

879
00:44:49,280 --> 00:44:50,120
Speaker 2: lot of different quarterbacks.

880
00:44:50,200 --> 00:44:51,759
Speaker 1: This one goes back to twenty twenty. I don't know.

881
00:44:51,840 --> 00:44:55,600
Speaker 1: Let me say, wow, I could be making this up.

882
00:44:56,960 --> 00:44:59,120
Speaker 2: Even if you are, it sounds impressive. Yeah.

883
00:44:59,160 --> 00:45:01,040
Speaker 1: The New York Giants had a streak of eighty consecutive

884
00:45:01,080 --> 00:45:02,960
Speaker 1: games where they scored no more than seven points in

885
00:45:02,960 --> 00:45:05,320
Speaker 1: the first quarter. Began during the twenty twenty season and

886
00:45:05,400 --> 00:45:08,480
Speaker 1: continued until early in the twenty twenty five season, so

887
00:45:08,560 --> 00:45:11,720
Speaker 1: it ended earlier this year. It's the second longest streak

888
00:45:11,920 --> 00:45:13,840
Speaker 1: in NFL history.

889
00:45:14,280 --> 00:45:18,200
Speaker 2: The longest is oh, you know what, it might have

890
00:45:18,239 --> 00:45:20,399
Speaker 2: been russ In like that early Cowboys game.

891
00:45:21,840 --> 00:45:28,279
Speaker 1: Yes, that's a guess. The record is held by the

892
00:45:28,360 --> 00:45:32,200
Speaker 1: Brooklyn Dodgers from nineteen thirty to nineteen thirty seven eighty

893
00:45:32,280 --> 00:45:33,520
Speaker 1: six Jackie Robinson.

894
00:45:33,800 --> 00:45:35,320

Speaker 2: But finally, before we get out of here, let's hear

899
00:45:44,800 --> 00:45:46,919
Speaker 2: from Brandon Anderson and his Hot Read picks for next

900
00:45:46,960 --> 00:45:52,160
Speaker 2: week Hot Wrap bo seventy on ice right, ice cream.

901
00:45:53,280 --> 00:46:01,080
Speaker 3: Hold, I'm gonna start with forty nine ers Seahawks. Gimme

902
00:46:01,200 --> 00:46:04,320
Speaker 3: the under under forty six and a half. Typically you

903
00:46:04,400 --> 00:46:07,280
Speaker 3: want overs in the division round and usually with the Niners.

904
00:46:07,320 --> 00:46:09,760
Speaker 3: But y'all look a little below the surface here. Obviously,

905
00:46:09,840 --> 00:46:12,719
Speaker 3: these teams just played two weeks ago Seattle thirteen to three,

906
00:46:12,920 --> 00:46:16,680
Speaker 3: dominant win. Niners thirty six percent success rate terrible one

907
00:46:16,800 --> 00:46:19,520
Speaker 3: hundred and seventy three yards, three points. Both of those

908
00:46:19,600 --> 00:46:22,480
Speaker 3: they're lowest since their debut game with kel Shanahan back

909
00:46:22,520 --> 00:46:25,759
Speaker 3: in twenty seventeen. Nine first downs all game. They got

910
00:46:25,840 --> 00:46:28,440
Speaker 3: totally shut down on their money play as sand Fran

911
00:46:28,560 --> 00:46:32,000
Speaker 3: number number one, red zone number one. On late downs,

912
00:46:32,400 --> 00:46:34,640
Speaker 3: they were two of eleven on late downs. Oer of

913
00:46:34,760 --> 00:46:36,279
Speaker 3: one in the red zone of that game. This is

914
00:46:36,360 --> 00:46:39,160
Speaker 3: what Seattle went out to get Mike McDonald four for

915
00:46:39,239 --> 00:46:44,480
Speaker 3: these Shanahan McVay offenses, Seahawks defense is awesome. Number one dvoay,

916
00:46:45,040 --> 00:46:47,719
Speaker 3: Top two against the run and the pass, and importantly

917
00:46:48,360 --> 00:46:52,040
Speaker 3: top seven are better against motion play action under center

918
00:46:52,480 --> 00:46:56,160
Speaker 3: middle of the field, all those money Shanahan areas. That

919
00:46:56,360 --> 00:46:59,600
Speaker 3: is what Seattle defends best. And it turns out that

920
00:46:59,719 --> 00:47:03,120
Speaker 3: really wasn't new for the Niners offense to stall. We

921
00:47:03,200 --> 00:47:05,960
Speaker 3: saw it again today against a real defense. Check out

922
00:47:06,040 --> 00:47:09,560
Speaker 3: these splits. Since brock pretty returned from injury, Niners have

923
00:47:09,600 --> 00:47:13,160
Speaker 3: played four games against defenses twentieth or worse, four games

924
00:47:13,200 --> 00:47:15,960
Speaker 3: against anyone better like twentieth is not even good, just

925
00:47:16,080 --> 00:47:18,840
Speaker 3: even league average or better. This is including like Carolina

926
00:47:18,880 --> 00:47:22,239
Speaker 3: and Cleveland. In those four games against the bad defenses,

927
00:47:22,800 --> 00:47:26,200
Speaker 3: average scored the game just under seventy points a game

928
00:47:26,719 --> 00:47:29,840
Speaker 3: forty or fifty four percent success rate for the Niners offense,

929
00:47:30,360 --> 00:47:33,560
Speaker 3: and the other four games again against any defense with

930
00:47:33,640 --> 00:47:37,200
Speaker 3: a pulse forty percent success rate down from fifty four.

931
00:47:37,719 --> 00:47:41,000
Speaker 3: Average score of those games not seventy anymore, Try thirty

932
00:47:41,200 --> 00:47:45,120
Speaker 3: thirty point three max score of forty two. The Niners

933
00:47:45,200 --> 00:47:48,359
Speaker 3: offense is just not scoring against top defenses. I think

934
00:47:48,360 --> 00:47:50,680
Speaker 3: they got a little bit inflated based on some of

935
00:47:50,719 --> 00:47:54,000
Speaker 3: those bad matchups. Now, obviously George Kittle is out, that's

936
00:47:54,000 --> 00:47:56,759
Speaker 3: a huge loss, especially in this matchup. Seattle has not

937
00:47:56,880 --> 00:47:59,839
Speaker 3: defended tight ends that great. Trent Williams is a question

938
00:48:00,320 --> 00:48:03,239
Speaker 3: as always. He missed the last game. Ricky Piersoll is

939
00:48:03,239 --> 00:48:06,319
Speaker 3: an unknown. Niners offense has just not been good enough,

940
00:48:06,719 --> 00:48:09,359
Speaker 3: and Sales offense really hasn't been that top notch either.

941
00:48:09,760 --> 00:48:12,439
Speaker 3: Week eleven, a RAMS game, we saw the RAMS count

942
00:48:12,440 --> 00:48:15,600
Speaker 3: of exposed Seattle, and since that game forward, Seattle went

943
00:48:15,640 --> 00:48:18,880
Speaker 3: from the number one passing offense to twenty fifth. That's

944
00:48:19,000 --> 00:48:22,840
Speaker 3: bottom quarter of the league. Seattle, even against the Niners,

945
00:48:22,920 --> 00:48:24,640
Speaker 3: probably not going to hang a huge number. They have

946
00:48:24,760 --> 00:48:27,680
Speaker 3: been an under team, especially first half thirteen and four

947
00:48:27,719 --> 00:48:29,560
Speaker 3: to the under, so I will probably look for a

948
00:48:29,600 --> 00:48:32,200
Speaker 3: first half under as well. But this forty six and

949
00:48:32,239 --> 00:48:34,560
Speaker 3: a half, this is the same total the Niners open

950
00:48:34,600 --> 00:48:36,759
Speaker 3: against the Eagles, and I don't close forty four. I

951
00:48:36,800 --> 00:48:39,879
Speaker 3: think this goes the same direction that's already going down.

952
00:48:40,680 --> 00:48:42,680
Speaker 3: Forty seven is a key number. We're on the wrong

953
00:48:42,760 --> 00:48:44,799
Speaker 3: side of it. But I think we get towards forty four,

954
00:48:44,840 --> 00:48:47,080
Speaker 3: which is the next key number down. Give me the

955
00:48:47,280 --> 00:48:51,600
Speaker 3: under forty six and a half at DraftKings, Seahawks and Niners.

956
00:48:51,680 --> 00:48:54,400
Speaker 3: And while we're here, quick second, high red, keep it

957
00:48:54,640 --> 00:48:58,800
Speaker 3: nice and easy, Seahawks rams, money line parlay. It's even

958
00:48:58,840 --> 00:49:01,600
Speaker 3: odds right now, this color shot, I think that is

959
00:49:01,680 --> 00:49:04,600
Speaker 3: our NFC championship game. Let's start with the Seahawks.

960
00:49:04,680 --> 00:49:05,279
Speaker 2: We're just there.

961
00:49:05,719 --> 00:49:09,160
Speaker 3: This is a bet on that Mike McDonald defense. Niners

962
00:49:09,200 --> 00:49:12,600
Speaker 3: injured everywhere, all those offensive injuries, and Seattle is rested

963
00:49:12,719 --> 00:49:15,160
Speaker 3: now because they got that thirteen to three row to win.

964
00:49:15,360 --> 00:49:17,719
Speaker 3: This is what they get is the home game with

965
00:49:17,880 --> 00:49:21,719
Speaker 3: the rest against this tired Niners team. I don't really

966
00:49:21,840 --> 00:49:24,399
Speaker 3: want to trust Darnold in that offense yet, but San

967
00:49:24,520 --> 00:49:27,080
Speaker 3: Franz defense should be just enough for them to get there.

968
00:49:27,160 --> 00:49:29,640
Speaker 3: Seattle's zero of three in the red zone that game,

969
00:49:29,800 --> 00:49:32,040
Speaker 3: so probably it shouldn't have been been as close as

970
00:49:32,080 --> 00:49:34,799
Speaker 3: it did. Turn out. Seattle and they have fans at

971
00:49:35,000 --> 00:49:39,120
Speaker 3: home games. Ten straight playoff wins, third longest streak in

972
00:49:39,239 --> 00:49:42,000
Speaker 3: NFL history. I think they get an eleventh one here

973
00:49:42,480 --> 00:49:45,840
Speaker 3: and host the NFC Championship game against the Rams. This

974
00:49:46,080 --> 00:49:49,840
Speaker 3: is an easy sell high spot for the Bears, obvious

975
00:49:49,960 --> 00:49:53,120
Speaker 3: letdown spot emotionally after I can they won their Super Bowl, right,

976
00:49:53,440 --> 00:49:56,400
Speaker 3: we saw the comeback, the crazy, crazy game against the Packers.

977
00:49:56,760 --> 00:49:59,600
Speaker 3: But don't forget though the first three quarters count there too.

978
00:50:00,080 --> 00:50:02,880
Speaker 3: Chicago has been totally outplayed through three quarters twice now

979
00:50:03,239 --> 00:50:05,520
Speaker 3: in the last month against the Packers, really against some

980
00:50:05,600 --> 00:50:09,279
Speaker 3: of the Packers' backups before that big finish. Bears lose

981
00:50:09,320 --> 00:50:12,400
Speaker 3: their starting left tackle, they lose their best linebacker and

982
00:50:12,480 --> 00:50:15,520
Speaker 3: TG Edwards. Their corners are all banged up. This is

983
00:50:15,680 --> 00:50:17,960
Speaker 3: really a good get right spot I think for the Rams,

984
00:50:18,080 --> 00:50:20,920
Speaker 3: especially that Rams offense. I think they can name their

985
00:50:21,040 --> 00:50:24,160
Speaker 3: number against the Bears defense. Bears d by far the

986
00:50:24,200 --> 00:50:26,239
Speaker 3: weak link on the field, similar to Santa fran in

987
00:50:26,280 --> 00:50:29,960
Speaker 3: the other game. Stafford's fingers supposedly looks fine. I'm going

988
00:50:30,000 --> 00:50:31,200
Speaker 3: to count of the Rams to score.

989
00:50:31,920 --> 00:50:32,880
Speaker 2: Do the Bears score?

990
00:50:33,400 --> 00:50:36,680
Speaker 3: They might Ben Johnson might find some answers. Rams defense

991
00:50:36,719 --> 00:50:38,279
Speaker 3: has been a little bit leaky, but you don't want

992
00:50:38,280 --> 00:50:40,239
Speaker 3: to want to shootout against the Rams, not with that

993
00:50:40,320 --> 00:50:44,360
Speaker 3: Bears defense. Rams didn't get the one seed, but they

994
00:50:44,400 --> 00:50:46,920
Speaker 3: did kind of get lucky here they get Carolina and

995
00:50:47,040 --> 00:50:49,319
Speaker 3: now this banged up Bears team rather than a road

996
00:50:49,360 --> 00:50:51,400
Speaker 3: game in a failure or something like that. This is

997
00:50:51,480 --> 00:50:54,440
Speaker 3: my Super Bowl pick, my favorite. I think they're the

998
00:50:54,520 --> 00:50:56,480
Speaker 3: surer win of these teams, even though they're a bit

999
00:50:56,520 --> 00:50:58,680
Speaker 3: shorter on the line. So I'll probably be back on

1000
00:50:58,880 --> 00:51:01,200
Speaker 3: Rams and Alters this week, so I'm just going to

1001
00:51:01,280 --> 00:51:03,120
Speaker 3: ride the two favorites here. I think the public will

1002
00:51:03,200 --> 00:51:04,719
Speaker 3: as well, especially with all.

1003
00:51:04,680 --> 00:51:05,359
Speaker 2: The injury news.

1004
00:51:06,120 --> 00:51:08,600
Speaker 3: So I think these lines do rise a little bit,

1005
00:51:09,040 --> 00:51:12,120
Speaker 3: maybe towards six ish for the Rams, maybe to seven

1006
00:51:12,239 --> 00:51:14,800
Speaker 3: or past for Seattle. We're getting plus one hundred on

1007
00:51:14,840 --> 00:51:17,920
Speaker 3: the moneyline parlay. I think by game day next weekend

1008
00:51:18,239 --> 00:51:20,760
Speaker 3: maybe more like minus one twenty five one to thirty.

1009
00:51:20,920 --> 00:51:25,480
Speaker 3: So let's grab a Rams Seattle moneyline parlay at evan

1010
00:51:25,520 --> 00:51:27,960
Speaker 3: odds plus one hundred and called a wrap. Let's get

1011
00:51:28,000 --> 00:51:29,799
Speaker 3: to the NFC Championship.

1012
00:51:29,760 --> 00:51:33,240
