1
00:00:09,960 --> 00:00:12,840
Speaker 1: Welcome to the Favorites, presented by DraftKings.

2
00:00:12,920 --> 00:00:15,240
Speaker 2: We're also on the Action Hour podcast feed.

3
00:00:15,280 --> 00:00:17,040
Speaker 1: If you are listening to us there, it is a

4
00:00:17,079 --> 00:00:20,439
Speaker 1: crossover episode wherever you're listening or watching. Thank you for

5
00:00:20,480 --> 00:00:22,560
Speaker 1: tuning in. I'm your host, Devin Abrams and I am

6
00:00:22,640 --> 00:00:25,880
Speaker 1: joined by the one and only Stucky for our NFL

7
00:00:25,920 --> 00:00:30,400
Speaker 1: recap show for Wildcard weekend. Just a ridiculous, ridiculous weekend

8
00:00:30,400 --> 00:00:33,680
Speaker 1: of five great games. Obviously, still have Houston and Pittsburgh

9
00:00:33,720 --> 00:00:35,680
Speaker 1: coming up on Monday night, and we will touch on that.

10
00:00:35,760 --> 00:00:36,800
Speaker 2: A little bit later.

11
00:00:37,520 --> 00:00:40,000
Speaker 1: We also have Brandon Anderson's hot read before we get

12
00:00:40,040 --> 00:00:40,599
Speaker 1: out of here, so.

13
00:00:40,520 --> 00:00:42,080
Speaker 2: We'll get his opinion too.

14
00:00:42,560 --> 00:00:44,640
Speaker 1: But before we get started, I will just give you

15
00:00:44,800 --> 00:00:47,720
Speaker 1: exactly what I just tweeted out, which is we see

16
00:00:47,720 --> 00:00:50,240
Speaker 1: some opening lines for the Divisional Round and it looks

17
00:00:50,320 --> 00:00:53,479
Speaker 1: like Bill's Broncos kind of going a little bit between.

18
00:00:53,520 --> 00:00:55,600
Speaker 2: I see the Bill's favorite in some of those spots.

19
00:00:56,280 --> 00:00:59,760
Speaker 1: If they were to close as a favorite in Denver,

20
00:01:00,080 --> 00:01:02,040
Speaker 1: it would be the fourth time in the last forty

21
00:01:02,120 --> 00:01:05,679
Speaker 1: years we had seen a Divisional round team off of

22
00:01:05,720 --> 00:01:06,440
Speaker 1: a buy at.

23
00:01:06,280 --> 00:01:08,920
Speaker 2: Home close as an underdog. And I can read it

24
00:01:09,000 --> 00:01:10,240
Speaker 2: right now the last would have been.

25
00:01:10,200 --> 00:01:13,600
Speaker 1: The Eagles in twenty eighteen against the Falcons, the Niners

26
00:01:13,640 --> 00:01:16,120
Speaker 1: in twenty twelve, and the Saints and then the Panthers

27
00:01:16,520 --> 00:01:19,679
Speaker 1: ninety six ninety seven, and in all three of those positions,

28
00:01:20,080 --> 00:01:22,920
Speaker 1: the home team came away with the win. So we

29
00:01:22,959 --> 00:01:26,360
Speaker 1: will see kind of how the market puts together the

30
00:01:27,360 --> 00:01:30,240
Speaker 1: spread in that one over the next week. But aside

31
00:01:30,240 --> 00:01:33,400
Speaker 1: from that stuck, before we get into Chargers Patriots.

32
00:01:33,800 --> 00:01:35,720
Speaker 2: What a weekend, man, what's your thoughts on everything?

33
00:01:36,800 --> 00:01:41,520
Speaker 3: Yeah? Crazy weekend. I got rinsed. Sadly, I had I

34
00:01:41,560 --> 00:01:45,760
Speaker 3: went one in four, some bad calls and some bad breaks.

35
00:01:45,760 --> 00:01:47,600
Speaker 3: I mean I had the Packers as a dog, which

36
00:01:47,680 --> 00:01:50,000
Speaker 3: was which was something I thought I was going to

37
00:01:50,080 --> 00:01:55,080
Speaker 3: push at worst. Yeah, after at the end, but the

38
00:01:55,080 --> 00:01:57,440
Speaker 3: missed deck, two miss field goals and missed extra point.

39
00:01:57,560 --> 00:01:59,280
Speaker 3: The two point conversion to play at the game was

40
00:01:59,280 --> 00:02:02,760
Speaker 3: the fourth and eight that Caleb got. If he doesn't

41
00:02:02,800 --> 00:02:04,960
Speaker 3: convert that fourth and eighth, the game is over. They

42
00:02:04,960 --> 00:02:07,000
Speaker 3: were down two possessions at the time they scored get

43
00:02:07,040 --> 00:02:11,480
Speaker 3: the two point conversion, and yeah, I mean McManus was

44
00:02:11,480 --> 00:02:14,600
Speaker 3: a disaster for them. But credit to the Bears. They

45
00:02:14,600 --> 00:02:17,840
Speaker 3: were this second team in NFL history to score twenty

46
00:02:17,880 --> 00:02:20,000
Speaker 3: five plus points in the fourth quarter or overtime of

47
00:02:20,040 --> 00:02:23,360
Speaker 3: a playoff game to overcome a fifteen plus point deficit.

48
00:02:23,400 --> 00:02:25,720
Speaker 3: It was them and the Patriots and the Super Bowl

49
00:02:25,760 --> 00:02:30,240
Speaker 3: against the Falcons. I lost money on both Patriots Falcons.

50
00:02:30,280 --> 00:02:32,160
Speaker 3: One of my biggest pets of all ever that I

51
00:02:32,400 --> 00:02:35,720
Speaker 3: that I lost. So that was I mean, the Bears

52
00:02:35,760 --> 00:02:37,799
Speaker 3: outscored in twenty five to six in the fourth quarter.

53
00:02:38,919 --> 00:02:41,840
Speaker 3: That was just the Bears games all year. It was

54
00:02:41,880 --> 00:02:44,120
Speaker 3: just it was like a micro cosm of the Bears

55
00:02:44,880 --> 00:02:47,840
Speaker 3: season in one game. And then the Packers in a

56
00:02:47,919 --> 00:02:50,560
Speaker 3: sense too with some of the losses they suffered. But

57
00:02:50,600 --> 00:02:54,520
Speaker 3: the Bears, they're never dead and they found a way.

58
00:02:55,320 --> 00:02:57,600
Speaker 3: But like the McManus kicks were so big because even

59
00:02:57,639 --> 00:03:00,120
Speaker 3: if you make like you make the extra point, can

60
00:03:00,200 --> 00:03:02,280
Speaker 3: kick the field goal at the end, you know, the

61
00:03:02,320 --> 00:03:05,760
Speaker 3: field goals earlier in the game. So, uh yeah, that

62
00:03:05,800 --> 00:03:07,440
Speaker 3: was just an incredible game, by the way, the most

63
00:03:07,560 --> 00:03:10,320
Speaker 3: lead changes we've ever seen in a single round of

64
00:03:10,360 --> 00:03:12,560
Speaker 3: the postseason already we still have one game to go.

65
00:03:13,360 --> 00:03:16,600
Speaker 3: Uh that was I mean the first three, the first

66
00:03:16,639 --> 00:03:20,960
Speaker 3: three games that we saw the winner was trailing with

67
00:03:21,000 --> 00:03:25,280
Speaker 3: two minutes to go. So yeah, just wild games. And

68
00:03:25,480 --> 00:03:27,399
Speaker 3: look in the playoffs when it's bet when it comes

69
00:03:27,440 --> 00:03:31,240
Speaker 3: to betting, or you know, just whoever wins these games.

70
00:03:31,240 --> 00:03:33,880
Speaker 3: Out right, the margins are thin, especially this year. Everything

71
00:03:33,960 --> 00:03:37,440
Speaker 3: is so wide open that you like go back. I

72
00:03:37,480 --> 00:03:39,440
Speaker 3: also had that one of the other bad breaks of that,

73
00:03:39,640 --> 00:03:44,000
Speaker 3: I had the Jags first half, so Lawrence's thigh goes

74
00:03:44,080 --> 00:03:47,000
Speaker 3: down at you know, the six. They get no points

75
00:03:47,000 --> 00:03:50,680
Speaker 3: out of that. And then the miskick at the end

76
00:03:50,720 --> 00:03:53,280
Speaker 3: of the first half by an all Pro kicker. That

77
00:03:53,400 --> 00:03:56,680
Speaker 3: kick was massive, obviously, I mean the game was a

78
00:03:56,680 --> 00:04:00,520
Speaker 3: three point game, but those things, those little things are

79
00:04:00,600 --> 00:04:05,480
Speaker 3: so magnified in the playoffs. So yeah, I thought any

80
00:04:05,520 --> 00:04:09,160
Speaker 3: of the games could have went anyway. The Panthers were

81
00:04:09,160 --> 00:04:12,080
Speaker 3: super surprising. I did not expect their offense to look

82
00:04:12,360 --> 00:04:14,400
Speaker 3: that well. Ide under that it was a terrible call.

83
00:04:15,120 --> 00:04:16,359
Speaker 3: And then my worst call week had is I had

84
00:04:16,400 --> 00:04:20,479
Speaker 3: the Chargers. I mean, the Patriots were dominant in that game.

85
00:04:21,320 --> 00:04:22,039
Speaker 2: Drake may was.

86
00:04:22,520 --> 00:04:23,960
Speaker 3: I thought he had a pretty bad game. He could

87
00:04:23,960 --> 00:04:26,200
Speaker 3: have had like three or four turnovers, but he used

88
00:04:26,240 --> 00:04:29,120
Speaker 3: his legs more effectively. He hit the one big throwdown

89
00:04:29,160 --> 00:04:32,560
Speaker 3: field and on a side by side basis he looked

90
00:04:32,560 --> 00:04:34,640
Speaker 3: like an All Pro compared to Herbert. I mean Herbert.

91
00:04:35,880 --> 00:04:36,080
Speaker 4: Look.

92
00:04:36,120 --> 00:04:38,719
Speaker 3: I don't like to label these things for small sample

93
00:04:38,720 --> 00:04:40,599
Speaker 3: size because it's only been three starts, Like you know,

94
00:04:40,640 --> 00:04:43,520
Speaker 3: the playoff Herbert thing, and he had no help. The

95
00:04:43,560 --> 00:04:46,520
Speaker 3: offensive line was really poor. I thought the Patriots had

96
00:04:46,560 --> 00:04:49,680
Speaker 3: a really good game plan. They just couldn't handle their stunts,

97
00:04:49,720 --> 00:04:52,719
Speaker 3: their blitzes, and they were just bringing pressure. But Herbert

98
00:04:52,760 --> 00:04:57,200
Speaker 3: also played really poorly. He looked like the first time

99
00:04:57,240 --> 00:04:59,600
Speaker 3: starting quarterback. He looked like a rookie. I mean, he

100
00:04:59,640 --> 00:05:02,880
Speaker 3: was flow ustered, he missed some opportunities to scramble, he

101
00:05:02,880 --> 00:05:05,000
Speaker 3: missed some open throws, and then he was just inaccurate.

102
00:05:05,040 --> 00:05:06,880
Speaker 3: I get that he was under pressure and under fire,

103
00:05:07,240 --> 00:05:09,560
Speaker 3: especially late in the game once the Patriots built that lead,

104
00:05:10,120 --> 00:05:12,839
Speaker 3: but there were some opportunities there. I also thought hardball

105
00:05:13,000 --> 00:05:16,040
Speaker 3: the whole staff was extremely disapointed. I thought they got

106
00:05:16,120 --> 00:05:19,400
Speaker 3: significantly out coached. You went into that game, by the way,

107
00:05:19,600 --> 00:05:21,040
Speaker 3: you had a buy last week, so you basically had

108
00:05:21,040 --> 00:05:24,000
Speaker 3: two weeks. They took a buy, they had two weeks

109
00:05:24,040 --> 00:05:26,480
Speaker 3: to come up with game plans to make up for

110
00:05:26,520 --> 00:05:28,960
Speaker 3: the deficiencies that you knew. You had on the offensive line.

111
00:05:29,120 --> 00:05:31,880
Speaker 3: Did you not think that the Patriots were gonna blitz

112
00:05:31,920 --> 00:05:34,960
Speaker 3: and stunt and there was? It just seemed like there was.

113
00:05:35,240 --> 00:05:37,000
Speaker 3: I don't know what their game plan was. I don't

114
00:05:37,000 --> 00:05:40,400
Speaker 3: know what the offensive philosophy going into that game was.

115
00:05:41,400 --> 00:05:43,960
Speaker 3: And then you had hardball early on in the game.

116
00:05:44,000 --> 00:05:45,640
Speaker 3: He goes for it on fourth and goal at the two,

117
00:05:45,839 --> 00:05:48,040
Speaker 3: he doesn't get it, and then he has fourth and

118
00:05:48,080 --> 00:05:49,760
Speaker 3: goal at the two again and kicks a field goal.

119
00:05:49,760 --> 00:05:51,960
Speaker 3: I hate when coaches do that. You're the underdog on

120
00:05:52,000 --> 00:05:54,000
Speaker 3: the road. You were aggressed the first time. If you

121
00:05:54,000 --> 00:05:55,400
Speaker 3: thought it was just gonna be a field goal game,

122
00:05:55,520 --> 00:05:57,440
Speaker 3: then kick it both times. But he went for the

123
00:05:57,440 --> 00:06:00,240
Speaker 3: first time. Don't get scared just because you didn't get it.

124
00:06:00,320 --> 00:06:03,000
Speaker 3: But those were two huge sequences. And the Patriots, whose

125
00:06:03,000 --> 00:06:05,719
Speaker 3: red zone defense was the worst in the league this year,

126
00:06:06,520 --> 00:06:08,560
Speaker 3: Chargers have struggled in the red zone is their offense.

127
00:06:09,040 --> 00:06:11,840
Speaker 3: Patriots defense won that battle. I hope they were that

128
00:06:11,880 --> 00:06:14,479
Speaker 3: they had the most convincing win of any of the

129
00:06:14,520 --> 00:06:15,360
Speaker 3: five games.

130
00:06:15,680 --> 00:06:17,480
Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean not hard to have a convincing win

131
00:06:17,560 --> 00:06:19,119
Speaker 1: when it felt like it came down to the wire

132
00:06:19,120 --> 00:06:20,720
Speaker 1: and all of them this was I thought this was

133
00:06:20,720 --> 00:06:22,240
Speaker 1: gonna be a closer game tonight as well.

134
00:06:22,800 --> 00:06:24,359
Speaker 2: I mean, three points ain't gonna do it.

135
00:06:24,400 --> 00:06:26,240
Speaker 1: And of course you mentioned it, like if you're not

136
00:06:26,279 --> 00:06:27,920
Speaker 1: gonna go for it, I mean, if you're gonna go

137
00:06:27,960 --> 00:06:29,359
Speaker 1: for it at first, you gotta go for it again.

138
00:06:29,520 --> 00:06:31,240
Speaker 2: Absolutely ridiculous, like it's part of your.

139
00:06:31,160 --> 00:06:32,880
Speaker 1: Game plan, like you got to figure out one way

140
00:06:32,920 --> 00:06:34,919
Speaker 1: or the other, either I need points or I don't.

141
00:06:34,920 --> 00:06:35,760
Speaker 2: But you're right now.

142
00:06:35,839 --> 00:06:37,520
Speaker 1: I'll go game by game here. We can go very

143
00:06:37,600 --> 00:06:40,200
Speaker 1: quickly since obviously we're going over a bunch here. But

144
00:06:40,240 --> 00:06:42,520
Speaker 1: New England won the game sixteen thirteen, covered the three

145
00:06:42,560 --> 00:06:44,520
Speaker 1: and a half at home total under forty five and

146
00:06:44,520 --> 00:06:48,000
Speaker 1: a half. Just simply a dominant performance from New England's defense.

147
00:06:48,160 --> 00:06:50,320
Speaker 1: I mean, aside from that, I think, like you said,

148
00:06:50,440 --> 00:06:55,000
Speaker 1: May played okay, but everyone's gonna talk about probably two things.

149
00:06:55,480 --> 00:06:57,880
Speaker 1: Charger's defense probably played as best as they could think

150
00:06:57,920 --> 00:07:00,920
Speaker 1: the offensive line let them down. Herbert hit seven eight

151
00:07:01,000 --> 00:07:03,120
Speaker 1: nine times in this game, which was on par for

152
00:07:03,160 --> 00:07:06,040
Speaker 1: everything we've seen from them this season. And I mean

153
00:07:06,279 --> 00:07:08,280
Speaker 1: just kind of looked like a Rabel defense in this game.

154
00:07:08,320 --> 00:07:11,040
Speaker 1: And coming up you've got Houston and Pittsburgh. I think

155
00:07:11,040 --> 00:07:14,200
Speaker 1: they'd probably like to see Pittsburgh, would be my guess

156
00:07:14,760 --> 00:07:16,960
Speaker 1: based off just you know, trying to see another defense

157
00:07:17,000 --> 00:07:20,000
Speaker 1: in that sense. But either way, kind of intriguing though,

158
00:07:20,280 --> 00:07:22,560
Speaker 1: any thoughts early on that New England game.

159
00:07:22,800 --> 00:07:25,680
Speaker 3: Depending on opponent, I mean, you can kind of have

160
00:07:26,080 --> 00:07:30,240
Speaker 3: a similar game plan against sure, right, you have you

161
00:07:30,280 --> 00:07:34,440
Speaker 3: have Stroud, who struggles against the Blitz, Rogers who struggles

162
00:07:34,480 --> 00:07:39,840
Speaker 3: against pressure to you know, not the most reliable offensive lines.

163
00:07:40,600 --> 00:07:43,440
Speaker 3: So you know, I still have questions about this Patriots defense.

164
00:07:44,000 --> 00:07:46,680
Speaker 3: It's just like, who have they faced all year? Right, Like, yeah,

165
00:07:46,760 --> 00:07:49,200
Speaker 3: they faced Josh Allen got cooked and that's basically the

166
00:07:49,240 --> 00:07:51,880
Speaker 3: only and then they did. You have to give him

167
00:07:51,880 --> 00:07:57,000
Speaker 3: credit for just completely bottling up Herbert, but again, the

168
00:07:57,040 --> 00:07:58,680
Speaker 3: state of that offensive line, But it might be the

169
00:07:58,720 --> 00:08:01,920
Speaker 3: same story next week against either one of those opponents.

170
00:08:03,120 --> 00:08:07,800
Speaker 1: You know, start, did Christian Gonzalez come back, So that's

171
00:08:07,840 --> 00:08:08,680
Speaker 1: a major concern.

172
00:08:08,760 --> 00:08:12,239
Speaker 3: Yet he was one of the things, like the Chargers

173
00:08:12,280 --> 00:08:19,480
Speaker 3: receivers were non existent. I mean, the best the only

174
00:08:19,520 --> 00:08:23,320
Speaker 3: guy that I heard his name the entire besides Herbert

175
00:08:23,320 --> 00:08:27,600
Speaker 3: getting hit was Vdal. He like he picked up that fumble,

176
00:08:27,680 --> 00:08:30,640
Speaker 3: ran for it. A couple of pat but who who

177
00:08:30,720 --> 00:08:32,920
Speaker 3: on the Chargers offense? Did you hear their name called?

178
00:08:33,120 --> 00:08:33,200
Speaker 4: Like?

179
00:08:33,880 --> 00:08:36,319
Speaker 1: Also, I mean, to be clear, a lot of people

180
00:08:36,360 --> 00:08:39,480
Speaker 1: talking about this, but they disguised the O'marian Hampton injury

181
00:08:39,600 --> 00:08:41,760
Speaker 1: a lot more than they probably should have, because it

182
00:08:41,960 --> 00:08:44,240
Speaker 1: honestly looked like he shouldn't have even played in the game,

183
00:08:44,320 --> 00:08:46,600
Speaker 1: and there should have been some designation. And we had

184
00:08:46,640 --> 00:08:48,559
Speaker 1: heard about ankle this and that he had a little

185
00:08:48,559 --> 00:08:50,840
Speaker 1: bit of a boot on it and basically shouldn't have

186
00:08:50,840 --> 00:08:52,920
Speaker 1: been out. There was the reason Herbert was scrambling on

187
00:08:52,960 --> 00:08:55,160
Speaker 1: over the place, and obviously Vidal played a ton of snaps.

188
00:08:55,160 --> 00:08:57,760
Speaker 1: But all right, let's keep rolling.

189
00:08:57,400 --> 00:08:59,440
Speaker 3: Here, Padridson. You want to see the Steelers though, because

190
00:09:00,040 --> 00:09:02,640
Speaker 3: that's fair. I mean, look, the Steelers are three point

191
00:09:02,640 --> 00:09:04,559
Speaker 3: home dogs against the Texans. The Steelers, you can hit,

192
00:09:04,559 --> 00:09:07,240
Speaker 3: you can get explosives on them. That's something the Chargers

193
00:09:07,280 --> 00:09:09,160
Speaker 3: do take away, and they did for the most part today.

194
00:09:10,679 --> 00:09:13,960
Speaker 3: But yeah, I think that the Patriots should feel good

195
00:09:14,480 --> 00:09:17,920
Speaker 3: regardless of who they play. But the Texans, I think

196
00:09:17,960 --> 00:09:21,160
Speaker 3: would be a stiffer test defensively.

197
00:09:20,960 --> 00:09:21,400
Speaker 2: I agree.

198
00:09:21,440 --> 00:09:23,760
Speaker 3: All right, rematch, by the way, rematch earlier the season

199
00:09:23,840 --> 00:09:26,160
Speaker 3: with the Patriots the Steelers did go into New England

200
00:09:26,600 --> 00:09:29,679
Speaker 3: and beat the Patriots, but the Patriots dominated that game.

201
00:09:29,960 --> 00:09:32,120
Speaker 3: It was a typical voodoo Steelers win. I think the

202
00:09:32,120 --> 00:09:35,559
Speaker 3: Patriots turned it over five times. The Patriots kept getting

203
00:09:35,559 --> 00:09:37,480
Speaker 3: down to like the two and not scoring. It was

204
00:09:37,520 --> 00:09:42,320
Speaker 3: pretty crazy. So yeah, I think the Patriots will be

205
00:09:43,360 --> 00:09:45,439
Speaker 3: deserve his favorites at home against either.

206
00:09:46,120 --> 00:09:47,360
Speaker 2: All right, let's keep rolling here.

207
00:09:47,400 --> 00:09:49,960
Speaker 1: Buffalo Jackson will Buffalo wins twenty seven to twenty four,

208
00:09:50,240 --> 00:09:52,520
Speaker 1: one and a half point road Dogs total under fifty

209
00:09:52,520 --> 00:09:53,920
Speaker 1: one and a half, fifty two and a half.

210
00:09:53,960 --> 00:09:55,320
Speaker 2: But right by the hook.

211
00:09:55,440 --> 00:09:57,520
Speaker 1: I mean, I think you and I would mention this,

212
00:09:57,600 --> 00:10:00,000
Speaker 1: and you obviously had Jack's first half, but Buffalo's probably

213
00:10:00,040 --> 00:10:02,280
Speaker 1: started a little bit faster than maybe we had assumed,

214
00:10:02,320 --> 00:10:05,120
Speaker 1: even though it included like two punts of fumble, Like,

215
00:10:05,160 --> 00:10:07,760
Speaker 1: it wasn't exactly amazing offense in the first half, but

216
00:10:08,160 --> 00:10:10,480
Speaker 1: got the job done. But to me, it just turned

217
00:10:10,480 --> 00:10:13,120
Speaker 1: into kind of an everything Josh Allen game. A ton

218
00:10:13,200 --> 00:10:15,960
Speaker 1: of passing, running all over the place. But the Jags

219
00:10:16,040 --> 00:10:20,040
Speaker 1: rush defense did their job, like Cook did nothing. Fifteen

220
00:10:20,080 --> 00:10:23,239
Speaker 1: to forty six, just both around three yards per rush.

221
00:10:23,280 --> 00:10:24,960
Speaker 1: It was just other things that got them beat. I mean,

222
00:10:24,960 --> 00:10:28,680
Speaker 1: Buffalo went nine to sixteen on third down fourth down, definitely,

223
00:10:28,880 --> 00:10:31,840
Speaker 1: and you had mentioned it with the Caleb Williams throw,

224
00:10:31,960 --> 00:10:34,360
Speaker 1: But that back foot throw from Josh on first and

225
00:10:34,480 --> 00:10:36,440
Speaker 1: ten cooks ridiculous.

226
00:10:36,480 --> 00:10:37,200
Speaker 2: I mean, that's.

227
00:10:37,200 --> 00:10:39,920
Speaker 1: Those two throws like win football games. And when you're

228
00:10:39,920 --> 00:10:43,079
Speaker 1: talking about the margins being that thin, But what.

229
00:10:43,080 --> 00:10:45,280
Speaker 2: Did you see here? Anything worth note?

230
00:10:46,000 --> 00:10:47,439
Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean I don't think the Bills in the

231
00:10:47,440 --> 00:10:50,160
Speaker 3: first half were great. I mean the Jags were one

232
00:10:50,200 --> 00:10:52,840
Speaker 3: and a half yards per played better. The Bills had

233
00:10:52,880 --> 00:10:54,720
Speaker 3: one good drive in the whole first half, but it

234
00:10:54,760 --> 00:10:56,200
Speaker 3: was a great it was the meaningful drive. It was

235
00:10:56,800 --> 00:11:01,280
Speaker 3: ninety four yards after Trevor Lawrence's shin went huge swing

236
00:11:01,320 --> 00:11:04,839
Speaker 3: in that game, and then they kicked a fifty yard

237
00:11:04,840 --> 00:11:08,520
Speaker 3: field goal off of an interception. But those are the margins, Prater.

238
00:11:09,400 --> 00:11:11,920
Speaker 3: Your banged up kicker made a fifty plus yarder and

239
00:11:11,960 --> 00:11:14,240
Speaker 3: the Jags all Pro kicker who made twenty in a row,

240
00:11:14,320 --> 00:11:16,679
Speaker 3: missed a fifty plus yarder, and then in the red

241
00:11:16,760 --> 00:11:19,480
Speaker 3: zone you didn't get your fourth down, came up with

242
00:11:19,520 --> 00:11:23,480
Speaker 3: no points. The Bills were amazing on fourth downs, so

243
00:11:24,960 --> 00:11:28,360
Speaker 3: I thought, like just watching that game, the Jags were

244
00:11:28,360 --> 00:11:30,360
Speaker 3: the better team on a play by play basis, like

245
00:11:30,400 --> 00:11:32,840
Speaker 3: they completely stopped the run. They had way more success

246
00:11:32,920 --> 00:11:36,120
Speaker 3: running the ball, but the Bills had Josh Allen and

247
00:11:36,160 --> 00:11:38,280
Speaker 3: that was ultimately the difference. He played amazing because he

248
00:11:38,280 --> 00:11:40,040
Speaker 3: had no help from his run game they usually do.

249
00:11:41,080 --> 00:11:42,520
Speaker 3: And then the second half they had to open it

250
00:11:42,640 --> 00:11:44,200
Speaker 3: up and asked him to go win it, and he did.

251
00:11:45,760 --> 00:11:49,280
Speaker 3: I also thought in the first half the Jags really

252
00:11:49,360 --> 00:11:54,200
Speaker 3: really missed Parker Washington. He was he was amazing in

253
00:11:54,240 --> 00:11:56,200
Speaker 3: the second half. He was amazing in the second half

254
00:11:56,200 --> 00:11:59,000
Speaker 3: of the year, and he missed most of the first half.

255
00:11:59,280 --> 00:12:01,520
Speaker 3: I am shot. I mean, it's the playoffs, like there's

256
00:12:01,679 --> 00:12:04,120
Speaker 3: I guess there's there's no such thing as concussions for

257
00:12:04,160 --> 00:12:05,960
Speaker 3: a lot of teams. I'm shock that he came back

258
00:12:06,000 --> 00:12:09,880
Speaker 3: after what I saw. But he was great in the

259
00:12:09,920 --> 00:12:12,000
Speaker 3: second half. Did he finished for I think he finished

260
00:12:12,040 --> 00:12:16,280
Speaker 3: with over one hundred yards and so they missed him

261
00:12:16,280 --> 00:12:20,040
Speaker 3: in the first half. They missed some opportunities. But yeah,

262
00:12:20,160 --> 00:12:25,360
Speaker 3: really a coin foot game, like Jaggs, here's where this again,

263
00:12:25,360 --> 00:12:27,800
Speaker 3: where the margins are small. I think mcdermomy made a

264
00:12:27,920 --> 00:12:32,720
Speaker 3: huge mistake that Josh Allen toush push It's funny that

265
00:12:32,760 --> 00:12:36,000
Speaker 3: they used the Toush push so effectively and they were

266
00:12:36,880 --> 00:12:40,720
Speaker 3: trying to get it banned in the offseason. I believe

267
00:12:40,760 --> 00:12:42,440
Speaker 3: they were one of the teams that voted against it,

268
00:12:42,840 --> 00:12:44,800
Speaker 3: and they use it now effectively in the Eagles, like

269
00:12:45,120 --> 00:12:47,240
Speaker 3: they went four of like their last eleven on the

270
00:12:47,240 --> 00:12:52,240
Speaker 3: touch push. But there's a minute ten left at the

271
00:12:52,360 --> 00:12:56,840
Speaker 3: one on first in goal and the Jags have no timeouts.

272
00:12:58,720 --> 00:13:03,200
Speaker 3: I one hundred percent of the time, snap and fall down,

273
00:13:03,520 --> 00:13:06,160
Speaker 3: or snap and taken me one pc of the time,

274
00:13:06,920 --> 00:13:09,400
Speaker 3: and then you have three that you then you run

275
00:13:09,440 --> 00:13:11,880
Speaker 3: forty seconds off the clock. There was like a minut five.

276
00:13:11,960 --> 00:13:16,240
Speaker 3: Let there would have been twenty seconds left. You have

277
00:13:16,360 --> 00:13:19,560
Speaker 3: your timeouts, but you don't even need it. You have

278
00:13:19,640 --> 00:13:23,880
Speaker 3: three more Josh Allen tush pushes to get in and

279
00:13:23,920 --> 00:13:27,360
Speaker 3: then there's the Jags are done. Instead you went you

280
00:13:27,400 --> 00:13:29,160
Speaker 3: scored on the first play. Now it didn't matter because

281
00:13:29,640 --> 00:13:33,000
Speaker 3: Lawrence threw a pick. But what you shouldn't base things

282
00:13:33,000 --> 00:13:36,600
Speaker 3: off of the results. It's about the process. You could

283
00:13:36,640 --> 00:13:39,480
Speaker 3: say like, look, just score that, just get the points.

284
00:13:40,480 --> 00:13:42,560
Speaker 3: Things can happen. You can fumble, I get it. But

285
00:13:43,400 --> 00:13:45,439
Speaker 3: I think in the long run, the smart move there

286
00:13:45,600 --> 00:13:47,600
Speaker 3: was to not score on first down with them not

287
00:13:47,640 --> 00:13:49,560
Speaker 3: having any timeouts and then score.

288
00:13:49,679 --> 00:13:49,760
Speaker 4: Now.

289
00:13:49,760 --> 00:13:52,520
Speaker 3: I didn't bite the bills, but just something worth voting

290
00:13:52,559 --> 00:13:56,560
Speaker 3: because we've seen McDermott and final minutes of playoff games

291
00:13:57,440 --> 00:14:00,680
Speaker 3: go sideways before. But just an incredible game and it

292
00:14:00,720 --> 00:14:04,600
Speaker 3: was Josh and Josh. You have to like Alan got

293
00:14:04,920 --> 00:14:07,480
Speaker 3: beat up in that game too. I mean he came

294
00:14:07,520 --> 00:14:11,120
Speaker 3: in with an injury to his foot. He you know here,

295
00:14:11,160 --> 00:14:13,680
Speaker 3: he had his knee twisted, he got his head hit,

296
00:14:14,040 --> 00:14:16,920
Speaker 3: his hand hit on a helmet. I mean he the

297
00:14:17,000 --> 00:14:19,440
Speaker 3: Jags defense threw everything at him and he just made

298
00:14:19,480 --> 00:14:22,040
Speaker 3: incredible throws with like who at receiver? She cared a

299
00:14:22,040 --> 00:14:24,920
Speaker 3: great day, but they kept losing receivers. They've already like

300
00:14:25,760 --> 00:14:29,280
Speaker 3: so that was all on Josh Allen had tipped to him.

301
00:14:29,760 --> 00:14:32,040
Speaker 1: I mean they saw Mitch Trubisky warming up and Josh

302
00:14:32,120 --> 00:14:33,200
Speaker 1: is like, no chance, that's on it.

303
00:14:34,920 --> 00:14:37,440
Speaker 3: Josh Allen going to the blue tent in the playoffs

304
00:14:37,560 --> 00:14:39,760
Speaker 3: is me rolling my eyes. They just go in there

305
00:14:39,800 --> 00:14:43,240
Speaker 3: and like give him a pat on the ass and

306
00:14:43,280 --> 00:14:44,440
Speaker 3: tell him to get back out there.

307
00:14:44,800 --> 00:14:47,280
Speaker 1: The reason you're right, though about the toush push at

308
00:14:47,280 --> 00:14:50,640
Speaker 1: the end is because the Jaguars faked like they were

309
00:14:50,840 --> 00:14:53,360
Speaker 1: they wanted him the score correct, but they faked it

310
00:14:53,400 --> 00:14:55,520
Speaker 1: like they wanted them to look like they cared about

311
00:14:55,600 --> 00:14:58,360
Speaker 1: him scoring. And Liam Cohen even said in postgame he

312
00:14:58,400 --> 00:14:59,280
Speaker 1: was like, we let them score.

313
00:14:59,360 --> 00:15:00,000
Speaker 2: It was the right movie.

314
00:15:00,240 --> 00:15:02,880
Speaker 3: So that's how you know it was the wrong move

315
00:15:02,960 --> 00:15:05,760
Speaker 3: to score. The other team is trying to let you score.

316
00:15:07,000 --> 00:15:08,760
Speaker 3: So like because of that, you could have like went

317
00:15:09,560 --> 00:15:14,400
Speaker 3: to the inch yard line and kneeled it, and the

318
00:15:14,520 --> 00:15:17,800
Speaker 3: chances of you scoring again from the inch yard line

319
00:15:18,480 --> 00:15:22,120
Speaker 3: with the Josh Allen towysch Bush are way higher than

320
00:15:22,200 --> 00:15:26,040
Speaker 3: the Jags with a minute ten being able to go

321
00:15:26,040 --> 00:15:27,440
Speaker 3: down the field and kick a fueld goal with a

322
00:15:27,520 --> 00:15:30,400
Speaker 3: kicker who has distance from he's made, he's two for

323
00:15:30,480 --> 00:15:32,320
Speaker 3: two from sixty seven plus the rest of the NFL

324
00:15:32,320 --> 00:15:34,400
Speaker 3: and NFL history he's oh for twenty two. So like

325
00:15:34,400 --> 00:15:37,040
Speaker 3: all they had to do, they could get the midfield right.

326
00:15:37,080 --> 00:15:38,360
Speaker 3: So you start like a lot of you started the

327
00:15:38,360 --> 00:15:41,080
Speaker 3: thirty five fifteen yards you're in range. Now it worked

328
00:15:41,080 --> 00:15:42,480
Speaker 3: out for them. I'm just saying I think that was

329
00:15:42,520 --> 00:15:43,080
Speaker 3: the wrong move.

330
00:15:43,560 --> 00:15:45,520
Speaker 1: Yeah, sometimes it works out and it's just the wrong move.

331
00:15:45,560 --> 00:15:46,360
Speaker 2: And that was one of them.

332
00:15:46,880 --> 00:15:48,760
Speaker 3: I'll live Jags by the way. He rest of the

333
00:15:48,880 --> 00:15:51,840
Speaker 3: see should be happy that they're out. It was unfortunate,

334
00:15:52,280 --> 00:15:55,280
Speaker 3: incredible year from Liam Cohen. Easily could have won that game,

335
00:15:55,360 --> 00:15:57,680
Speaker 3: easily could have made a run. It was unfortunate that

336
00:15:57,720 --> 00:16:00,600
Speaker 3: both of these teams had to play each other home

337
00:16:00,640 --> 00:16:02,720
Speaker 3: wild cobekend completely agree.

338
00:16:03,280 --> 00:16:05,920
Speaker 1: A lot of flak is going to go to Herbert

339
00:16:06,200 --> 00:16:08,680
Speaker 1: based off his performance tonight, But I did look it up.

340
00:16:08,720 --> 00:16:13,120
Speaker 1: Trevor Lawrence's three playoff starts minus one point six EPA today,

341
00:16:13,400 --> 00:16:15,640
Speaker 1: minus three point seven in his last start, and then

342
00:16:15,680 --> 00:16:19,080
Speaker 1: plus two point five against Case, but negative completion percentage

343
00:16:19,080 --> 00:16:22,240
Speaker 1: over expected in all three starts, qbr under fifty and

344
00:16:22,280 --> 00:16:24,840
Speaker 1: all three like, he just hasn't been his best.

345
00:16:24,560 --> 00:16:26,560
Speaker 2: In these games. And that kind I mean, he played

346
00:16:26,560 --> 00:16:27,280
Speaker 2: alright today.

347
00:16:27,880 --> 00:16:30,680
Speaker 1: Maybe you put it on the defense, but Buffalo does

348
00:16:30,720 --> 00:16:33,000
Speaker 1: put up what twenty six, twenty seven points in this game,

349
00:16:33,080 --> 00:16:36,360
Speaker 1: so probably a stopper more there on the defense right now.

350
00:16:36,440 --> 00:16:39,640
Speaker 3: He wasn't great, he was he was just okay, But

351
00:16:39,680 --> 00:16:42,320
Speaker 3: the pick at the end was bad. The other pick

352
00:16:42,400 --> 00:16:45,760
Speaker 3: was bad early that led to Buffalo points, and then

353
00:16:46,080 --> 00:16:48,040
Speaker 3: you have to blame him for a shin going down

354
00:16:48,440 --> 00:16:51,920
Speaker 3: just awareness. I mean, it's just him. I know it

355
00:16:51,960 --> 00:16:54,120
Speaker 3: was kind of a fluky play, but that basically took

356
00:16:55,480 --> 00:16:57,720
Speaker 3: four and a half five points on average off the board.

357
00:16:59,400 --> 00:17:04,720
Speaker 3: So yeah, he wasn't great, but I thought the Jags

358
00:17:04,800 --> 00:17:07,639
Speaker 3: defense played well and it was just it was just

359
00:17:07,960 --> 00:17:09,280
Speaker 3: Josh Allen was just incredible.

360
00:17:09,280 --> 00:17:11,720
Speaker 1: You gotta ad it to ridiculous and an unfortunate miss

361
00:17:11,720 --> 00:17:15,240
Speaker 1: from Cam Little early to obviously the difference. But all right,

362
00:17:15,440 --> 00:17:18,880
Speaker 1: green Bank, Chicago, Holy mackerel. So Chicago wins a game

363
00:17:18,920 --> 00:17:20,800
Speaker 1: thirty one, twenty seven and one and a half point

364
00:17:20,840 --> 00:17:23,679
Speaker 1: home Dogs total over forty six and a half. There

365
00:17:23,760 --> 00:17:26,000
Speaker 1: is really not much to say here other than like,

366
00:17:26,080 --> 00:17:28,280
Speaker 1: if you haven't watched Chicago all year, this is exactly

367
00:17:28,359 --> 00:17:31,359
Speaker 1: what you got. And then from Green Bay's perspective, like

368
00:17:31,960 --> 00:17:35,000
Speaker 1: they've lost five straight after this one, they have not

369
00:17:35,160 --> 00:17:38,160
Speaker 1: looked the same in you know, basically without Micah Parsons.

370
00:17:38,160 --> 00:17:39,960
Speaker 1: But I mean, when you talk about the play calling

371
00:17:40,000 --> 00:17:42,840
Speaker 1: from Laflour in the second half, they attempted seven runs

372
00:17:42,880 --> 00:17:45,040
Speaker 1: in the second half of twenty one three was minus

373
00:17:45,080 --> 00:17:49,000
Speaker 1: two to one six zero one zero and zero first

374
00:17:49,000 --> 00:17:50,359
Speaker 1: four drives in the second half.

375
00:17:50,440 --> 00:17:52,160
Speaker 2: They gained nine total yards.

376
00:17:52,320 --> 00:17:54,439
Speaker 1: And I think the worst part about it was they

377
00:17:54,880 --> 00:17:58,199
Speaker 1: knocked off like four minutes on the clock in total

378
00:17:58,480 --> 00:18:01,320
Speaker 1: in those four drives, so he just really got shit

379
00:18:01,520 --> 00:18:03,960
Speaker 1: before they even scored a touchdown in the second half

380
00:18:04,000 --> 00:18:06,520
Speaker 1: and really got something going. It was already twenty one

381
00:18:06,640 --> 00:18:08,840
Speaker 1: sixteen and it was a ballgame, so it just you

382
00:18:08,880 --> 00:18:12,240
Speaker 1: had kind of ruined the entire lead based off of

383
00:18:12,240 --> 00:18:14,520
Speaker 1: your play calling, and you could just see it like

384
00:18:14,600 --> 00:18:17,480
Speaker 1: after they got up, they were just allowing Chicago to

385
00:18:17,520 --> 00:18:19,840
Speaker 1: do kind of what they wanted and stick around, and

386
00:18:20,160 --> 00:18:22,480
Speaker 1: that honestly ended up being the problem. And you mentioned

387
00:18:22,520 --> 00:18:24,600
Speaker 1: that the fourth and eighth throw to Rome is just,

388
00:18:24,840 --> 00:18:27,639
Speaker 1: I mean, something you will see forever in Chicago, no

389
00:18:27,720 --> 00:18:30,439
Speaker 1: matter what happens, because it was just that unreal of

390
00:18:30,480 --> 00:18:32,880
Speaker 1: a throw from a guy that talented and also very

391
00:18:32,880 --> 00:18:34,560
Speaker 1: cool that he looked like Michael Jordan in the middle

392
00:18:34,560 --> 00:18:37,560
Speaker 1: of the air, but either way, absolutely ridiculous.

393
00:18:37,600 --> 00:18:39,680
Speaker 2: So what do you make from Green Bay Chicago?

394
00:18:40,760 --> 00:18:42,840
Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean the Green Bay injuries, I think that

395
00:18:43,040 --> 00:18:45,760
Speaker 3: Cod there did. I mean, like Cooper, they had some

396
00:18:45,760 --> 00:18:48,560
Speaker 3: more offensive line injuries, Doc Tom not starting although they

397
00:18:48,560 --> 00:18:50,639
Speaker 3: were up twenty one three, missed a fuel go at

398
00:18:50,640 --> 00:18:51,960
Speaker 3: the end of that, they should be up twenty four

399
00:18:51,960 --> 00:18:54,240
Speaker 3: to three. You have to win that game. And they're

400
00:18:54,320 --> 00:18:59,840
Speaker 3: up twenty one six in the fourth quarter, like you

401
00:18:59,880 --> 00:19:02,159
Speaker 3: have to win that game no matter what, and it

402
00:19:02,320 --> 00:19:05,320
Speaker 3: just it just was your your typical Bears game. Also

403
00:19:05,400 --> 00:19:08,560
Speaker 3: another underrated play obviously the fourth and eight and if

404
00:19:08,600 --> 00:19:10,480
Speaker 3: they didn't call the false start, the snap goes over

405
00:19:10,480 --> 00:19:13,639
Speaker 3: the head before then and the game is over. The

406
00:19:13,680 --> 00:19:17,640
Speaker 3: fourth and eight is incredible throw by Kleb. Then they

407
00:19:17,640 --> 00:19:20,960
Speaker 3: score a touchdown, they get the two point conversion, slept

408
00:19:21,000 --> 00:19:24,480
Speaker 3: on conversion because if you don't get that the Packers

409
00:19:24,480 --> 00:19:26,159
Speaker 3: at the end. Now, the Packers missed the field goal

410
00:19:26,200 --> 00:19:27,800
Speaker 3: after that, but then they had the ball at the

411
00:19:27,920 --> 00:19:32,160
Speaker 3: very end of the game at the Bears twenty timeout

412
00:19:32,200 --> 00:19:34,840
Speaker 3: management wasn't great for the Force. They had no timeouts left,

413
00:19:35,080 --> 00:19:38,000
Speaker 3: there was a runoff. It was a mess. But if

414
00:19:38,040 --> 00:19:40,359
Speaker 3: the if there were so many things that could have

415
00:19:40,359 --> 00:19:42,720
Speaker 3: happened where the Packers could have kick the game winning

416
00:19:42,720 --> 00:19:44,760
Speaker 3: field and now they probably would have missed it again. But

417
00:19:45,480 --> 00:19:48,560
Speaker 3: they missed two field goals, an extra point, and the

418
00:19:48,600 --> 00:19:52,760
Speaker 3: Bears got a two point conversion not after nine points.

419
00:19:53,200 --> 00:19:57,840
Speaker 3: Of those hidden points and all of those cumulatively led

420
00:19:57,840 --> 00:20:00,760
Speaker 3: to a four point lead. If one of those things

421
00:20:00,880 --> 00:20:03,560
Speaker 3: goes the other way, the Packers are kicking a feel

422
00:20:03,560 --> 00:20:05,240
Speaker 3: a lot of tie or to take the order to win.

423
00:20:06,440 --> 00:20:09,560
Speaker 3: Instead they have to throw up a hail Mary. And

424
00:20:09,600 --> 00:20:12,760
Speaker 3: at the end they had their back up right tackle,

425
00:20:12,800 --> 00:20:15,280
Speaker 3: their third string center, and their backup left tackle in

426
00:20:15,320 --> 00:20:18,520
Speaker 3: the game. But I did think that Dennis Allen. I

427
00:20:18,560 --> 00:20:21,119
Speaker 3: thought that the four play calling wasn't great, but I

428
00:20:21,119 --> 00:20:25,880
Speaker 3: thought that Dennis allen adjustments on defense and the additional

429
00:20:26,119 --> 00:20:29,879
Speaker 3: some of the pressure packages that he was bringing I

430
00:20:29,920 --> 00:20:31,880
Speaker 3: thought were very nice in the second half, because that's

431
00:20:31,880 --> 00:20:37,000
Speaker 3: a bad defense. But it just felt like a choke

432
00:20:38,119 --> 00:20:40,000
Speaker 3: and it just felt like every Bears game all this year.

433
00:20:40,040 --> 00:20:43,200
Speaker 3: I mean, that's their seventh win this year, NFL record,

434
00:20:43,280 --> 00:20:46,160
Speaker 3: seventh win when trailing with under two minutes to go,

435
00:20:46,480 --> 00:20:48,160
Speaker 3: and as someone who had to, I had the Packers

436
00:20:48,400 --> 00:20:50,200
Speaker 3: plus one now again, I thought I was gonna push

437
00:20:50,240 --> 00:20:53,840
Speaker 3: it worse to losing that game is a nightmare. But

438
00:20:55,000 --> 00:20:57,120
Speaker 3: the fourth and eight, once they got that, I said,

439
00:20:57,119 --> 00:21:00,680
Speaker 3: I'm in trouble. I would have sale the game was

440
00:21:00,720 --> 00:21:02,960
Speaker 3: over if they didn't convert that. But that was the

441
00:21:02,960 --> 00:21:03,640
Speaker 3: play of the game.

442
00:21:04,920 --> 00:21:08,439
Speaker 1: Seriously, I mean, that play is just unbelievable when you

443
00:21:08,480 --> 00:21:11,399
Speaker 1: look at back at it, especially almost getting sacked, like

444
00:21:11,440 --> 00:21:14,400
Speaker 1: throwing an almost mid air, just absolutely ridiculous.

445
00:21:14,560 --> 00:21:15,119
Speaker 2: The one thing.

446
00:21:15,920 --> 00:21:18,760
Speaker 3: Packers had just scored a touchdown to go up twenty

447
00:21:18,800 --> 00:21:23,919
Speaker 3: seven to sixteen with six to go, and like, now

448
00:21:24,160 --> 00:21:26,760
Speaker 3: there's what there was like five to go, fourth and

449
00:21:26,840 --> 00:21:30,200
Speaker 3: eight at midfield. You don't get that it's over. The

450
00:21:30,240 --> 00:21:35,320
Speaker 3: game's over. So given the circumstances, the stage, and then

451
00:21:35,520 --> 00:21:38,720
Speaker 3: just how incredible that throw you have to hat tip

452
00:21:38,760 --> 00:21:42,280
Speaker 3: Caleb Williams. Now the Bears get I mean, how based

453
00:21:42,280 --> 00:21:47,360
Speaker 3: on how everything broke, it's pretty crazy that the Seahawks

454
00:21:48,800 --> 00:21:53,720
Speaker 3: were they were, It looked like they were going to

455
00:21:53,760 --> 00:21:56,960
Speaker 3: get the Packers, and the Packers had a bunch more injuries,

456
00:21:57,880 --> 00:22:01,040
Speaker 3: and then the Bears win. So then you're a Seahawks fan,

457
00:22:01,080 --> 00:22:06,320
Speaker 3: you say, shit, we gotta play the Rams. And then

458
00:22:06,560 --> 00:22:09,800
Speaker 3: the Eagles get upset at home, which there's not a

459
00:22:09,800 --> 00:22:13,760
Speaker 3: lot of people including myself, saw happening, and now they

460
00:22:13,760 --> 00:22:15,679
Speaker 3: get the forty nine ers. So it went from oh,

461
00:22:15,720 --> 00:22:19,480
Speaker 3: we're getting the Packers for sure up twenty one, twenty

462
00:22:19,520 --> 00:22:23,320
Speaker 3: one to three, to oh god, we're getting the Rams

463
00:22:23,359 --> 00:22:26,600
Speaker 3: to Okay, we're getting the forty nine ers, So what

464
00:22:26,720 --> 00:22:28,880
Speaker 3: roller coaster promotions for Seahawks fans despite not.

465
00:22:28,880 --> 00:22:33,199
Speaker 1: Playing seriously, absolutely unreal to go back and forth and

466
00:22:33,240 --> 00:22:35,320
Speaker 1: now Seattle looks like they're a seven and a half

467
00:22:35,359 --> 00:22:38,520
Speaker 1: point favorite against the Niners and rams are Land three

468
00:22:38,520 --> 00:22:40,320
Speaker 1: and a half at the moment in Chicago.

469
00:22:40,560 --> 00:22:42,280
Speaker 2: So interesting lines.

470
00:22:42,040 --> 00:22:47,560
Speaker 3: On the least touchdown swing Sewks serious the Eagles result,

471
00:22:47,880 --> 00:22:52,720
Speaker 3: you would go from a toss up game probably to

472
00:22:53,440 --> 00:22:56,639
Speaker 3: somewhere round of pick I mean, now a touchdown plus

473
00:22:56,640 --> 00:22:58,040
Speaker 3: favor crazy.

474
00:22:58,040 --> 00:22:59,960
Speaker 2: All right, let's do that in San Francisco Philly game. Quick.

475
00:23:00,200 --> 00:23:02,840
Speaker 1: So San Francisco does end up winning twenty three nineteen

476
00:23:02,960 --> 00:23:05,120
Speaker 1: five and a half point road dogs total under forty

477
00:23:05,119 --> 00:23:05,800
Speaker 1: four and a half.

478
00:23:05,920 --> 00:23:06,600
Speaker 2: I thought this one.

479
00:23:06,760 --> 00:23:09,720
Speaker 1: This line is fantastic, So from Shield Capatia, who used

480
00:23:09,720 --> 00:23:12,399
Speaker 1: to work with me at ESPN. Niners produced the highest

481
00:23:12,400 --> 00:23:15,680
Speaker 1: single game offensive success rate against the Eagles since Fangio

482
00:23:15,760 --> 00:23:19,000
Speaker 1: became their DC. It was just the perfect game plan

483
00:23:19,520 --> 00:23:22,840
Speaker 1: for what Shanahan put together here. San Francisco defense pretty

484
00:23:22,880 --> 00:23:25,879
Speaker 1: much showed up here with their six seventh eighth linebackers

485
00:23:25,920 --> 00:23:28,520
Speaker 1: out there, but really it was probably just an inept

486
00:23:28,560 --> 00:23:32,199
Speaker 1: Philly offensive game. I mean Hurts his fifteen incompletions just

487
00:23:32,240 --> 00:23:35,439
Speaker 1: one hundred and sixty eight yards passing Rady under eighty

488
00:23:35,720 --> 00:23:38,520
Speaker 1: QBR of forty and to me, this is what probably

489
00:23:38,520 --> 00:23:41,600
Speaker 1: gets at the most. So late passdowns he was at

490
00:23:41,640 --> 00:23:45,920
Speaker 1: thirty one percent success rate and passing to Davanta Goddard,

491
00:23:46,160 --> 00:23:49,520
Speaker 1: Barkley and aj he went eighteen of thirty one, So

492
00:23:49,520 --> 00:23:53,639
Speaker 1: that's thirteen incompletions, a lot off target, a lot in

493
00:23:53,840 --> 00:23:56,960
Speaker 1: pass breaks to those guys. And this one was the

494
00:23:56,960 --> 00:24:00,639
Speaker 1: best which Juwan Jennings had more completed passes fifteen plus

495
00:24:00,720 --> 00:24:03,399
Speaker 1: yards air then Jalen Hurts did, who went oh for

496
00:24:03,560 --> 00:24:07,800
Speaker 1: five just absolutely terrible from my opinion on the offensive

497
00:24:07,800 --> 00:24:09,200
Speaker 1: side of the ball. That really let them up because

498
00:24:09,200 --> 00:24:10,880
Speaker 1: Saquan had a good game. But what do you make

499
00:24:10,920 --> 00:24:11,400
Speaker 1: of this one?

500
00:24:12,640 --> 00:24:14,560
Speaker 3: Yes, one thing I got right this weekend was the

501
00:24:14,680 --> 00:24:17,679
Speaker 3: under which I thought, which I thought was gonna get

502
00:24:17,800 --> 00:24:20,400
Speaker 3: ruined at the end of the toast. Yeah, I thought

503
00:24:20,400 --> 00:24:22,479
Speaker 3: the Eagles were going down and scoring. But this is

504
00:24:23,160 --> 00:24:26,320
Speaker 3: again a microcosm of the year for the Philadelphia Eagles,

505
00:24:27,080 --> 00:24:30,720
Speaker 3: and even playing this beat up and already bad forty

506
00:24:30,800 --> 00:24:33,600
Speaker 3: nine Ers defense that were down their top four linebackers.

507
00:24:34,440 --> 00:24:38,760
Speaker 3: They score, they go on to sixteen play ninety four

508
00:24:38,840 --> 00:24:43,919
Speaker 3: yard nine minute drive to golf thirteen to seven midway

509
00:24:43,920 --> 00:24:52,320
Speaker 3: through the second quarter, and then from on their next three, four, five,

510
00:24:52,440 --> 00:24:57,719
Speaker 3: Their next five drives twenty seven plays for twenty six yards,

511
00:24:58,720 --> 00:25:02,440
Speaker 3: taking them midway through the fourth. That was the Eagles

512
00:25:02,480 --> 00:25:06,199
Speaker 3: offense all year, no matter who they were playing, they

513
00:25:06,240 --> 00:25:09,960
Speaker 3: would go these long stretches where they couldn't do anything.

514
00:25:10,720 --> 00:25:13,840
Speaker 3: I mean, it is and like it to play calling

515
00:25:13,920 --> 00:25:16,440
Speaker 3: is bad. We know Patoola is bad. It's not creative.

516
00:25:16,480 --> 00:25:19,720
Speaker 3: It's just hitch routes. And some of the runs were

517
00:25:20,240 --> 00:25:22,639
Speaker 3: But the biggest thing is their offensive line is so

518
00:25:22,720 --> 00:25:25,400
Speaker 3: much like how many times did you see Barkley who

519
00:25:25,480 --> 00:25:28,280
Speaker 3: still if you actually just give them space, he will

520
00:25:28,400 --> 00:25:31,320
Speaker 3: go for ten to fifteen plus yards. How many times

521
00:25:31,359 --> 00:25:34,719
Speaker 3: all year including today was Barkley hit as soon as

522
00:25:34,760 --> 00:25:37,320
Speaker 3: you're handing the ball off hit stuffed in the backfield.

523
00:25:37,320 --> 00:25:39,320
Speaker 3: I mean they were thirtieth in the NFL and stuff right.

524
00:25:40,040 --> 00:25:43,400
Speaker 3: Obviously no Lane Johnson today hurt. Their offense is night

525
00:25:43,480 --> 00:25:47,239
Speaker 3: and day with him. But this was it kind of

526
00:25:47,359 --> 00:25:51,360
Speaker 3: just summed up the Eagle season with their offense and

527
00:25:51,400 --> 00:25:54,960
Speaker 3: the droughts that they went on the u have Siriani

528
00:25:55,040 --> 00:25:58,199
Speaker 3: blowing up on the sidelines with AJ Brown and then

529
00:25:58,240 --> 00:26:00,800
Speaker 3: AJ Brown doesn't catch a pass. A couple dropped the

530
00:26:00,880 --> 00:26:03,960
Speaker 3: whole rest of the way. The AJ Brown discourse and

531
00:26:04,040 --> 00:26:10,320
Speaker 3: the Sirianni Patuila discourse on WIP and what is the

532
00:26:10,400 --> 00:26:13,240
Speaker 3: ninety seventy five whatever the radio station is for the

533
00:26:13,240 --> 00:26:16,399
Speaker 3: next couple of weeks, It's going to be interesting in Philly.

534
00:26:17,320 --> 00:26:20,000
Speaker 3: But yeah, I was shocked at the Niners with and

535
00:26:20,400 --> 00:26:24,560
Speaker 3: even after losing Kittle. Yeah, and they lost the turnover

536
00:26:24,600 --> 00:26:28,800
Speaker 3: battle to nothing. Perty had two bad picks, But I

537
00:26:28,960 --> 00:26:31,440
Speaker 3: was shot that they were able to push the ball

538
00:26:31,480 --> 00:26:35,920
Speaker 3: down the field and hit explosives on this Eagles defense

539
00:26:36,280 --> 00:26:38,399
Speaker 3: in twenty five to thirty mile an hour wins. They

540
00:26:38,440 --> 00:26:41,480
Speaker 3: had a bunch. I mean, DeMarcus Robinson had a day.

541
00:26:42,280 --> 00:26:47,200
Speaker 3: He went off and look, everyone knew the Eagles offense

542
00:26:47,600 --> 00:26:51,520
Speaker 3: had issues. Everyone knew Jake Elliott had a down year.

543
00:26:51,600 --> 00:26:53,320
Speaker 3: And by the way, I know san Fran missed an

544
00:26:53,320 --> 00:26:56,960
Speaker 3: extra point, but Elliott's missed extra point. You had that

545
00:26:57,040 --> 00:26:59,240
Speaker 3: in you can kick a field goal late. Like these

546
00:26:59,280 --> 00:27:03,159
Speaker 3: little things in the playoffs make such a difference. But

547
00:27:03,840 --> 00:27:07,320
Speaker 3: I would be remiss if I didn't give you gave

548
00:27:07,560 --> 00:27:10,480
Speaker 3: Shanahan credit. I'll look at it from the other side.

549
00:27:11,040 --> 00:27:14,320
Speaker 3: The Eagles defense deserves criticism here. This was the unit

550
00:27:14,359 --> 00:27:18,600
Speaker 3: that's carried them all year and you're going up against

551
00:27:18,760 --> 00:27:20,639
Speaker 3: you know, I mean, Fanjo has own Shannah in the

552
00:27:20,680 --> 00:27:22,520
Speaker 3: past four head to head meetings. He's averaged ten and

553
00:27:22,520 --> 00:27:26,480
Speaker 3: a half points per game, never cleared fifteen. And the

554
00:27:26,520 --> 00:27:30,840
Speaker 3: forty nine ers, even after losing Kittle, there's no Ricky Piersoll.

555
00:27:31,600 --> 00:27:34,960
Speaker 3: They gained three hundred and sixty one yards six point

556
00:27:34,960 --> 00:27:38,600
Speaker 3: two yards per play, and there was no run game

557
00:27:38,640 --> 00:27:40,520
Speaker 3: to speak of, and there was thirty mile an hour

558
00:27:40,560 --> 00:27:47,200
Speaker 3: wins and you have the lead late kick a field goal.

559
00:27:47,720 --> 00:27:51,119
Speaker 3: I'll off have an interception, and you let them go

560
00:27:51,280 --> 00:27:54,679
Speaker 3: ten plays sixty six yards and score a touchdown that

561
00:27:54,920 --> 00:27:58,200
Speaker 3: you cannot let them. At worst, you have to hold

562
00:27:58,200 --> 00:28:01,520
Speaker 3: them to a field goal there. But credit to forty

563
00:28:01,600 --> 00:28:04,160
Speaker 3: nine ers, the Eagles defense, they were great all year.

564
00:28:04,480 --> 00:28:07,520
Speaker 3: They do deserve blame for that performance today because it

565
00:28:07,560 --> 00:28:10,320
Speaker 3: wasn't great. So yeah, credit to the forty nine ers

566
00:28:10,400 --> 00:28:13,840
Speaker 3: is an all I Sawah was great. They didn't allow

567
00:28:13,880 --> 00:28:17,240
Speaker 3: the explosives there. There was I mean, Eric Hendricks made

568
00:28:17,280 --> 00:28:23,480
Speaker 3: the made he deflected the game winning pass, and like, yeah,

569
00:28:23,520 --> 00:28:25,880
Speaker 3: there was the toola can't be back?

570
00:28:26,080 --> 00:28:26,240
Speaker 2: You have?

571
00:28:26,480 --> 00:28:30,879
Speaker 3: This roster has way too much talent to be coordinated

572
00:28:30,960 --> 00:28:33,680
Speaker 3: like that. I don't even know, Well Siriani be back,

573
00:28:33,760 --> 00:28:35,760
Speaker 3: I don't know, I mean he does he yet? The

574
00:28:35,800 --> 00:28:39,600
Speaker 3: Eagles are ruthless. They have a very good organization, a

575
00:28:39,760 --> 00:28:46,640
Speaker 3: very good GM. They're run very well. Yeah, like is

576
00:28:46,680 --> 00:28:47,320
Speaker 3: he one hundred percent?

577
00:28:47,800 --> 00:28:49,760
Speaker 1: This is a loss that just can't happen, right, I

578
00:28:49,760 --> 00:28:52,880
Speaker 1: mean like even watching this game, Phillies up, three, Phillies

579
00:28:52,920 --> 00:28:54,560
Speaker 1: up six, whatever it was, it was like, Okay, they're

580
00:28:54,560 --> 00:28:56,480
Speaker 1: gonna do enough to win this and we're going to

581
00:28:56,520 --> 00:28:58,560
Speaker 1: talk the entire week about how it didn't look good

582
00:28:58,600 --> 00:29:02,040
Speaker 1: but they want anyway. And San Francisco was like screw that,

583
00:29:02,200 --> 00:29:04,320
Speaker 1: Like we're honestly just gonna take this game, no matter

584
00:29:04,360 --> 00:29:05,120
Speaker 1: who's on the field.

585
00:29:05,400 --> 00:29:05,600
Speaker 2: Yeah.

586
00:29:05,640 --> 00:29:08,280
Speaker 1: I kind of had forgetten, like forgotten and then blanked

587
00:29:08,320 --> 00:29:10,720
Speaker 1: out about the Kittle thing, but I mean not, I

588
00:29:10,760 --> 00:29:13,520
Speaker 1: mean adding the Kittle injury to everything else they were

589
00:29:13,560 --> 00:29:15,800
Speaker 1: going through and then they still come out on top.

590
00:29:16,040 --> 00:29:19,560
Speaker 1: Just honestly, probably one of those shocks. I mean if

591
00:29:19,600 --> 00:29:21,600
Speaker 1: Carolina had one, which we'll talk about in a second.

592
00:29:21,800 --> 00:29:24,120
Speaker 1: Obviously more shocking, but this was it. I mean, this

593
00:29:24,240 --> 00:29:26,680
Speaker 1: was the craziest. I couldn't have even imagined this with

594
00:29:26,720 --> 00:29:29,320
Speaker 1: all the injuries. I line got up to six middle

595
00:29:29,320 --> 00:29:30,800
Speaker 1: of the week, close at five and a half, but

596
00:29:31,320 --> 00:29:33,760
Speaker 1: wild nonetheless, And the thing was San Francisco also gave

597
00:29:33,800 --> 00:29:37,920
Speaker 1: them two turnovers, So I mean, well, yeah, two nothing.

598
00:29:38,280 --> 00:29:39,680
Speaker 1: The thing that's crazy is and I just looked, I

599
00:29:39,720 --> 00:29:42,000
Speaker 1: looked this up before we came on. Siriani is now

600
00:29:42,080 --> 00:29:44,760
Speaker 1: lost four straight when the opponent has two plus turnovers.

601
00:29:44,840 --> 00:29:47,040
Speaker 1: He was twenty five and two prior to that. So,

602
00:29:47,400 --> 00:29:50,560
Speaker 1: I mean, lately it just no matter what happens, close

603
00:29:50,600 --> 00:29:52,480
Speaker 1: game and Philly's offense doesn't come through.

604
00:29:52,520 --> 00:29:57,400
Speaker 3: But shock, there's like these the Hurts never turns it over, right,

605
00:29:57,400 --> 00:30:02,080
Speaker 3: they don't They the Eagles never turn sometimes. That's like

606
00:30:02,160 --> 00:30:05,360
Speaker 3: I feel like it's bad in a way because they

607
00:30:05,440 --> 00:30:07,840
Speaker 3: just they don't take risks, right, They're like it's just

608
00:30:08,640 --> 00:30:11,840
Speaker 3: these how many times on second and long and sometimes

609
00:30:11,880 --> 00:30:13,600
Speaker 3: on third long where they're running the ball.

610
00:30:15,480 --> 00:30:15,800
Speaker 2: To lose.

611
00:30:16,240 --> 00:30:19,400
Speaker 3: Yeah, they're just playing to like pull these games out

612
00:30:19,640 --> 00:30:23,680
Speaker 3: by a field goal. Bear, And like that's tough to do.

613
00:30:23,720 --> 00:30:26,480
Speaker 3: They just need a whole new offensive of off score

614
00:30:26,520 --> 00:30:27,400
Speaker 3: in a new philosophy.

615
00:30:28,000 --> 00:30:30,400
Speaker 1: It's like, this is like not making the playoffs, honestly,

616
00:30:30,520 --> 00:30:32,720
Speaker 1: like it pretty much is going to be looked at

617
00:30:32,800 --> 00:30:34,880
Speaker 1: very similarly to lose a game as like a six

618
00:30:34,880 --> 00:30:37,720
Speaker 1: point favorite at home to a team that's the walking dead.

619
00:30:38,240 --> 00:30:41,520
Speaker 3: All right, I will say the line news something that. Look,

620
00:30:41,560 --> 00:30:43,880
Speaker 3: the best thing you can do betting the NFL, and

621
00:30:44,000 --> 00:30:46,760
Speaker 3: even in the playoffs, where lines are even more efficient,

622
00:30:47,240 --> 00:30:48,720
Speaker 3: is get the best of the number. It's the best

623
00:30:48,720 --> 00:30:50,720
Speaker 3: thing you can do. Now, this weekend didn't really work out.

624
00:30:50,800 --> 00:30:53,880
Speaker 3: Didn't work out for me in particular. I could think

625
00:30:53,920 --> 00:30:58,920
Speaker 3: of Packers, I add the Panthers under forty nine Ers

626
00:30:58,960 --> 00:31:03,480
Speaker 3: under least worked out. But if you had the Jags,

627
00:31:04,040 --> 00:31:07,760
Speaker 3: I mean Jags took real money. Jags at some sharp

628
00:31:07,760 --> 00:31:12,120
Speaker 3: shops closed two and a half, opened a dog, and

629
00:31:12,160 --> 00:31:15,920
Speaker 3: then the Eagles they were sitting three and a half close.

630
00:31:16,400 --> 00:31:18,480
Speaker 3: I think it closed five and a half, right there, Yeah,

631
00:31:18,920 --> 00:31:21,200
Speaker 3: close five and a half linked with Lane Johnson Autrent

632
00:31:21,240 --> 00:31:25,960
Speaker 3: Williams in. But you beat that line over the long run.

633
00:31:26,040 --> 00:31:29,840
Speaker 3: That's gonna work out with this week for some of

634
00:31:29,880 --> 00:31:32,920
Speaker 3: the bigger line moves didn't work out, but short sample

635
00:31:32,960 --> 00:31:34,720
Speaker 3: size can overreact, all.

636
00:31:34,680 --> 00:31:37,520
Speaker 1: Right, Speaking of lines and craziness, Rams beat the point

637
00:31:37,520 --> 00:31:40,360
Speaker 1: Panthers thirty four to thirty one. They close a ten

638
00:31:40,440 --> 00:31:43,600
Speaker 1: point road favorites total over forty five. So yeah, Carolina

639
00:31:43,640 --> 00:31:46,000
Speaker 1: does close plus ten time for the biggest home dog

640
00:31:46,040 --> 00:31:49,760
Speaker 1: in playoff history. But listen, Carolina was inside or pushing

641
00:31:49,760 --> 00:31:52,720
Speaker 1: the number of the entire game, the entire game. So

642
00:31:53,000 --> 00:31:55,000
Speaker 1: I mean there was a chance for the Rams to

643
00:31:55,040 --> 00:31:58,480
Speaker 1: go up. You know, it could have been it could

644
00:31:58,520 --> 00:32:00,920
Speaker 1: have been thirteen, that could have been sick teen or seventeen.

645
00:32:01,120 --> 00:32:03,120
Speaker 1: But there was an opportunity there that kind of blow

646
00:32:03,200 --> 00:32:05,840
Speaker 1: the game away, and they almost really blew this one.

647
00:32:06,200 --> 00:32:09,040
Speaker 1: I mean seriously, a few opportunities there late in the

648
00:32:09,080 --> 00:32:12,520
Speaker 1: game where it could have definitely gone Carolina's way, especially

649
00:32:12,560 --> 00:32:15,560
Speaker 1: after that late turnover. I will say this home dog's

650
00:32:15,560 --> 00:32:17,360
Speaker 1: of four plus and down nine to zero against the

651
00:32:17,360 --> 00:32:19,880
Speaker 1: spread last fifty years in the playoffs. We will see

652
00:32:19,920 --> 00:32:22,320
Speaker 1: if the Bears get there. Pretty crazy for a two

653
00:32:22,320 --> 00:32:26,400
Speaker 1: seed home dog in the divisional round. But nonetheless, all

654
00:32:26,440 --> 00:32:29,400
Speaker 1: I really have to say is like Bryce Young played formidable,

655
00:32:29,560 --> 00:32:32,600
Speaker 1: Like the numbers were all right, He had.

656
00:32:32,560 --> 00:32:33,520
Speaker 2: A positive EPA.

657
00:32:33,760 --> 00:32:37,600
Speaker 1: But he goes four of seventeen passing under pressure, just

658
00:32:37,720 --> 00:32:40,000
Speaker 1: not something you can do in something typical to what

659
00:32:40,040 --> 00:32:42,600
Speaker 1: Bryce Young usually does. And then you look at the

660
00:32:42,640 --> 00:32:45,880
Speaker 1: other side, Stafford, three touchdowns, no picks, two hundred and

661
00:32:45,920 --> 00:32:48,920
Speaker 1: forty four yards in a clean pocket and under pressure

662
00:32:48,960 --> 00:32:52,000
Speaker 1: he goes five to thirteen with an interception and what

663
00:32:52,080 --> 00:32:55,560
Speaker 1: you would have expected thirty one targets to Pooka and DeVante.

664
00:32:55,680 --> 00:32:57,680
Speaker 1: So going to the people he trusts in this one.

665
00:32:58,960 --> 00:33:04,160
Speaker 3: Yeah, I was at the game was played out nothing

666
00:33:04,240 --> 00:33:07,680
Speaker 3: like I thought it would. Carolina came out throwing. I

667
00:33:07,680 --> 00:33:09,920
Speaker 3: thought they were going to try to run, control the clock,

668
00:33:10,040 --> 00:33:12,560
Speaker 3: shorten the game. Now maybe because they got behind that

669
00:33:12,600 --> 00:33:14,120
Speaker 3: all changed. But yeah, I mean Young threw the ball

670
00:33:14,200 --> 00:33:17,200
Speaker 3: forty times, he only ran it I think twenty now

671
00:33:17,240 --> 00:33:19,880
Speaker 3: they didn't have much success running it. I thought Quentin Lake,

672
00:33:19,880 --> 00:33:23,400
Speaker 3: who returned from injury, had a really bad game. He's

673
00:33:23,440 --> 00:33:24,640
Speaker 3: a good player, and I thought it was going to

674
00:33:24,680 --> 00:33:26,360
Speaker 3: help the defense. But that looked like there was some

675
00:33:26,440 --> 00:33:31,680
Speaker 3: rust and the speed wasn't there. And I mean Davante

676
00:33:32,520 --> 00:33:34,960
Speaker 3: missing time, he didn't look great. I mean when he

677
00:33:35,000 --> 00:33:36,760
Speaker 3: had five catches, he was targeted. How many times. Was

678
00:33:36,800 --> 00:33:44,160
Speaker 3: he targeted a lot fourteen times? Yeah? So Nikoua was incredible. Stafford,

679
00:33:44,200 --> 00:33:49,320
Speaker 3: I thought he struggled a bit against again his old coordinator,

680
00:33:49,720 --> 00:33:55,560
Speaker 3: these these coverages where they disguise and shift post snap,

681
00:33:56,120 --> 00:33:58,960
Speaker 3: these mass coverages. He struggled a bit again, But in

682
00:33:59,000 --> 00:34:03,520
Speaker 3: the end they recovered and they put that drive together

683
00:34:03,520 --> 00:34:06,000
Speaker 3: at the end of the game. Seven plays, seventy one yards,

684
00:34:06,120 --> 00:34:11,960
Speaker 3: incredible throw by Stafford down the sidelines and they got

685
00:34:11,960 --> 00:34:16,319
Speaker 3: a Yeah, that was crazy. So I was shocked at

686
00:34:16,360 --> 00:34:18,560
Speaker 3: the Fantas scored thirty one the first time in won,

687
00:34:19,200 --> 00:34:21,799
Speaker 3: but that was on you know, a pick six, a

688
00:34:21,840 --> 00:34:24,600
Speaker 3: couple of fourth down busted plays. I did not think

689
00:34:24,640 --> 00:34:26,440
Speaker 3: they were going to get to thirty one this time around.

690
00:34:26,760 --> 00:34:29,360
Speaker 3: So I'm I'm not sure what the make of the Rams.

691
00:34:29,520 --> 00:34:33,000
Speaker 3: In short, like I fought like a month ago, this

692
00:34:33,120 --> 00:34:35,759
Speaker 3: is a team. If you said who's winning the Super Bowl,

693
00:34:35,760 --> 00:34:37,759
Speaker 3: I would have confidently said, all right, I'm gonna pick

694
00:34:37,800 --> 00:34:43,000
Speaker 3: the Rams. And then you know, down they're up. They're dominating.

695
00:34:43,000 --> 00:34:47,720
Speaker 3: The Seahawks look like they're poised to get the one seed.

696
00:34:48,520 --> 00:34:53,040
Speaker 3: They melt away that game they lose in Atlanta. They

697
00:34:53,040 --> 00:34:55,759
Speaker 3: don't look great, and you know, wanting to try for

698
00:34:55,840 --> 00:34:58,160
Speaker 3: the first two and a half quarters against the Cardinals,

699
00:34:58,840 --> 00:35:02,560
Speaker 3: and they eat this game out against Carolina. I got

700
00:35:02,560 --> 00:35:04,200
Speaker 3: to dig more into the Rams on what's going on

701
00:35:04,239 --> 00:35:06,080
Speaker 3: because it hasn't looked pretty for the last month.

702
00:35:06,680 --> 00:35:08,239
Speaker 1: Anow, they're lay in three and a half or four

703
00:35:08,280 --> 00:35:10,719
Speaker 1: in the Chicago team who maybe won't be there in

704
00:35:10,760 --> 00:35:12,200
Speaker 1: the first half, but you know they will be there

705
00:35:12,200 --> 00:35:12,760
Speaker 1: in the second.

706
00:35:13,280 --> 00:35:13,920
Speaker 2: The two things I.

707
00:35:14,440 --> 00:35:17,680
Speaker 3: Set the Bears when they go down seventeen.

708
00:35:17,760 --> 00:35:19,480
Speaker 1: The two things I saw from the Rams in this

709
00:35:19,520 --> 00:35:21,359
Speaker 1: game that I guess are kind of puzzling. So they

710
00:35:21,400 --> 00:35:24,000
Speaker 1: get nine penalties and this is coming from the least

711
00:35:24,000 --> 00:35:26,120
Speaker 1: penalized team in the NFL during the season.

712
00:35:26,200 --> 00:35:28,480
Speaker 3: The penalized team in five years.

713
00:35:28,880 --> 00:35:32,399
Speaker 1: Yeah, they had twelve percent of their entire regular season

714
00:35:32,480 --> 00:35:35,680
Speaker 1: penalties in this game. I mean that that is how crazy,

715
00:35:35,719 --> 00:35:39,239
Speaker 1: and I guess undisciplined to a tee they were in

716
00:35:39,239 --> 00:35:40,839
Speaker 1: this one and the other This is the other one,

717
00:35:40,880 --> 00:35:43,239
Speaker 1: and you had mentioned it, but Carolina going four to

718
00:35:43,280 --> 00:35:45,839
Speaker 1: four in the red zone and Cocher and Tech going

719
00:35:45,880 --> 00:35:48,600
Speaker 1: fourteen of two point fifteen, that's a problem. And you

720
00:35:48,680 --> 00:35:52,360
Speaker 1: had mentioned Lake, but their secondary they're the past players.

721
00:35:52,360 --> 00:35:52,800
Speaker 2: They allow.

722
00:35:53,040 --> 00:35:54,879
Speaker 1: To me, that's like part of the issue, and you're

723
00:35:54,920 --> 00:35:57,360
Speaker 1: going up against I'm gonna call them the Magician, but

724
00:35:57,480 --> 00:36:00,239
Speaker 1: right now that's kind of what Caleb's doing. So I mean,

725
00:36:00,280 --> 00:36:04,400
Speaker 1: between Burden and Rome getting another week of healthy coming

726
00:36:04,400 --> 00:36:06,759
Speaker 1: off of this one, and I just does on DJ Moore,

727
00:36:06,760 --> 00:36:08,600
Speaker 1: there's a lot of options there for Chicago. I think

728
00:36:08,640 --> 00:36:09,600
Speaker 1: it's a little bit of a worry.

729
00:36:09,920 --> 00:36:14,040
Speaker 3: Yeah, the Rams secondary by far is the most questionable

730
00:36:14,040 --> 00:36:16,960
Speaker 3: aspect of their team and what ultimately might hold them

731
00:36:17,000 --> 00:36:19,040
Speaker 3: back for a set boll. I mean going back to

732
00:36:19,920 --> 00:36:25,080
Speaker 3: let's start the November thirtieth when they played the Panthers,

733
00:36:25,080 --> 00:36:28,120
Speaker 3: they gave up thirty one and lost. They played the

734
00:36:28,160 --> 00:36:31,880
Speaker 3: Cardinals with like they were a backup team, but the

735
00:36:31,920 --> 00:36:34,840
Speaker 3: Cardinals were moving the ball in that game, like throwing

736
00:36:34,880 --> 00:36:36,640
Speaker 3: the ball as well. They gave up. Then they gave

737
00:36:36,680 --> 00:36:40,160
Speaker 3: up thirty four to the Lions, thirty eight to the Seahawks,

738
00:36:40,920 --> 00:36:43,680
Speaker 3: twenty seven to the Falcons in a loss, and then

739
00:36:43,719 --> 00:36:45,840
Speaker 3: you know, they play the backup Cardinals again, Cardinals are

740
00:36:45,840 --> 00:36:47,920
Speaker 3: moving the ball in that game too, and then thirty

741
00:36:47,920 --> 00:36:50,560
Speaker 3: one to the Panthers. So like this defense over the

742
00:36:50,680 --> 00:36:53,240
Speaker 3: last month and a half has regularly given up thirty

743
00:36:53,239 --> 00:36:56,680
Speaker 3: one to thirty three thirty eight points sets that and

744
00:36:56,880 --> 00:37:00,520
Speaker 3: the Bears have the talent to take it. We'll just

745
00:37:00,520 --> 00:37:02,040
Speaker 3: see how far behind they get first.

746
00:37:02,640 --> 00:37:03,160
Speaker 2: Yeah.

Speaker 2: Monday night football time.

773
00:38:28,440 --> 00:38:31,279
Speaker 1: So right now, if I look at the board, it

774
00:38:31,360 --> 00:38:34,680
Speaker 1: is Texans minus three sitting at minus one zh five,

775
00:38:34,760 --> 00:38:37,240
Speaker 1: so that seems to be coming down a bit thirty

776
00:38:37,320 --> 00:38:39,600
Speaker 1: eight and a half. Which the fun thing about thirty

777
00:38:39,640 --> 00:38:41,960
Speaker 1: eight and a half. It is the lowest playoff total

778
00:38:42,400 --> 00:38:47,360
Speaker 1: since I believe brock Osweiler Connor Cook twenty sixteen seventeen,

779
00:38:47,400 --> 00:38:49,680
Speaker 1: so we haven't seen a playoff total this low in

780
00:38:49,800 --> 00:38:53,000
Speaker 1: some time. But stuck, I will leave it to you, like,

781
00:38:53,040 --> 00:38:54,400
Speaker 1: what do you think about this game? I have a

782
00:38:54,440 --> 00:38:56,719
Speaker 1: pick or two and some trends, but what do you

783
00:38:56,760 --> 00:38:57,359
Speaker 1: make of this one?

784
00:38:59,160 --> 00:39:02,000
Speaker 3: I mean, I think the line. I think it like

785
00:39:02,120 --> 00:39:03,480
Speaker 3: taking out all the three and a half on the

786
00:39:03,480 --> 00:39:08,360
Speaker 3: Steelers made sense. The low scoring game home dog Rogers

787
00:39:08,400 --> 00:39:10,840
Speaker 3: can get the ball out quick to neutralize some of

788
00:39:10,880 --> 00:39:14,800
Speaker 3: that Texans pressure. The issue is going to be is

789
00:39:14,840 --> 00:39:16,640
Speaker 3: if they don't think it's going to be hard to

790
00:39:16,719 --> 00:39:21,560
Speaker 3: maintain drives right, So like if you could have a

791
00:39:21,560 --> 00:39:23,480
Speaker 3: couple first downs, but then if you have if you're

792
00:39:23,480 --> 00:39:26,799
Speaker 3: incomplete on first run for two on second on those

793
00:39:26,880 --> 00:39:30,319
Speaker 3: third and longs. Rogers against that pressure, and he's been

794
00:39:30,320 --> 00:39:32,520
Speaker 3: bad against pressure year, it's not going to go well.

795
00:39:33,200 --> 00:39:35,920
Speaker 3: On the other end, Stroud has been really bad against

796
00:39:35,920 --> 00:39:39,600
Speaker 3: the blitz. The Steelers defense is getting healthier. You never

797
00:39:39,600 --> 00:39:41,360
Speaker 3: know what you're gonna get from Steelers defense. So like

798
00:39:41,400 --> 00:39:43,760
Speaker 3: some weeks they look incredible, some weeks it looks broken.

799
00:39:43,800 --> 00:39:46,719
Speaker 3: There's gonna be some bus which adds some variants here.

800
00:39:46,760 --> 00:39:50,160
Speaker 3: But they also tend to have those splash plays from

801
00:39:50,160 --> 00:39:54,040
Speaker 3: their defensive line. The strip sacks, the interceptions, how many

802
00:39:54,040 --> 00:39:57,520
Speaker 3: of those can they get will probably go a long

803
00:39:57,560 --> 00:40:00,239
Speaker 3: way in determining this game. You know, it's also we'll

804
00:40:00,239 --> 00:40:03,000
Speaker 3: see how you know Stroud and an indoor team going

805
00:40:03,040 --> 00:40:06,080
Speaker 3: to outdoors and freezing cold temperatures. That's at least worth noting.

806
00:40:07,560 --> 00:40:09,160
Speaker 3: I think if you want to bet this game, I

807
00:40:09,160 --> 00:40:12,400
Speaker 3: don't have anything right now, but this game is on Monday,

808
00:40:12,560 --> 00:40:15,759
Speaker 3: you're gonna have lines. How you know you already have

809
00:40:15,800 --> 00:40:19,040
Speaker 3: the Seahawks, Niners, line out the Rams Bears if you

810
00:40:19,239 --> 00:40:22,880
Speaker 3: like something next week. I think the Steelers are a

811
00:40:22,880 --> 00:40:27,880
Speaker 3: good teaser piece to pair with, you know, say, getting

812
00:40:27,880 --> 00:40:29,960
Speaker 3: Seattle from seven and a half to one and a half.

813
00:40:31,960 --> 00:40:34,160
Speaker 3: It's just it's just an ideal teaser piece. The total

814
00:40:34,200 --> 00:40:36,680
Speaker 3: is thirty eight and a half. I know it's not

815
00:40:36,760 --> 00:40:38,000
Speaker 3: the line is that two and a half, But it's

816
00:40:38,000 --> 00:40:40,440
Speaker 3: a juice three, you know, so you're crossing three four

817
00:40:40,600 --> 00:40:45,440
Speaker 3: six seven. So yeah, I think the Steelers teaser piece

818
00:40:46,080 --> 00:40:48,799
Speaker 3: is a good look. But this will probably come down

819
00:40:49,280 --> 00:40:54,520
Speaker 3: to which defense can force the more critical turnover because

820
00:40:54,840 --> 00:40:57,160
Speaker 3: this one should be tight throughout.

821
00:40:58,360 --> 00:40:59,640
Speaker 2: Yeah. I mean, if I had to pick a winner,

822
00:40:59,760 --> 00:41:00,560
Speaker 2: I like Houston.

823
00:41:00,920 --> 00:41:02,640
Speaker 1: But I think the line's just right and I'm not

824
00:41:02,680 --> 00:41:04,680
Speaker 1: comfortable really laying three three and a half with a

825
00:41:04,760 --> 00:41:07,520
Speaker 1: three eight and a half total, so I buy that.

826
00:41:07,600 --> 00:41:09,360
Speaker 1: The one thing I think is interesting is obviously you

827
00:41:09,360 --> 00:41:11,560
Speaker 1: get DK Metcalf back in the game. But if you've

828
00:41:11,600 --> 00:41:14,560
Speaker 1: watched any Steelers games this year, the chemistry between Metcalf

829
00:41:14,600 --> 00:41:17,120
Speaker 1: and Rodgers is pretty much zero. Like I feel like

830
00:41:17,520 --> 00:41:19,959
Speaker 1: he is not his favorite target. Now will he force

831
00:41:20,000 --> 00:41:22,200
Speaker 1: it there? Like he tends to just throw to his

832
00:41:22,239 --> 00:41:25,000
Speaker 1: guys mvs or the tight ends.

833
00:41:25,040 --> 00:41:26,960
Speaker 2: Like it's just Rogers is set in his ways.

834
00:41:27,239 --> 00:41:29,880
Speaker 1: So it'll be interesting to me how Metcalf kind of

835
00:41:29,880 --> 00:41:34,160
Speaker 1: gets brought back into the picture after two plus weeks

836
00:41:34,200 --> 00:41:37,160
Speaker 1: of them trying to deal without him, So that to

837
00:41:37,200 --> 00:41:37,880
Speaker 1: me is interesting.

838
00:41:38,280 --> 00:41:40,120
Speaker 3: Yeah, I don't think. I don't think Metcalf being back

839
00:41:40,239 --> 00:41:44,440
Speaker 3: is as important in some matchups. You know, he could

840
00:41:44,520 --> 00:41:47,000
Speaker 3: He's worth a couple of points of day, sure, Like,

841
00:41:47,360 --> 00:41:53,719
Speaker 3: but here Uf Stingley, who can just man up against him?

842
00:41:54,040 --> 00:41:56,080
Speaker 3: Because a lot of times you even in the red

843
00:41:56,160 --> 00:41:59,920
Speaker 3: zone right, you'll see like a safety you know, kind

844
00:41:59,920 --> 00:42:02,560
Speaker 3: of hovering on his side, cheating decided it might open

845
00:42:02,640 --> 00:42:05,840
Speaker 3: up some other things. But the Texans, you know, with

846
00:42:05,920 --> 00:42:10,280
Speaker 3: their corners, they can trust Stingley. By the way, Leonora

847
00:42:10,360 --> 00:42:12,960
Speaker 3: followed AJ Brown, he never followed all year, and he

848
00:42:12,960 --> 00:42:14,440
Speaker 3: followed A J. Brown today. I don't they just give

849
00:42:14,480 --> 00:42:16,319
Speaker 3: him on my mind, he didn't follow JSN all year.

850
00:42:16,320 --> 00:42:18,080
Speaker 3: I'm curious to see if that they changed that next week.

851
00:42:19,280 --> 00:42:21,839
Speaker 3: But yeah, so he's not as important, but he does

852
00:42:21,880 --> 00:42:23,960
Speaker 3: have the big play capability, So like he does have

853
00:42:25,160 --> 00:42:28,279
Speaker 3: the chance of like taking a slant seventy yards right,

854
00:42:28,320 --> 00:42:30,880
Speaker 3: whereas no one else on the Steelers does. So he

855
00:42:30,920 --> 00:42:32,840
Speaker 3: gives you a little bit more upside. But in this

856
00:42:32,880 --> 00:42:37,840
Speaker 3: particular matchup, I don't think he's as big as he

857
00:42:37,840 --> 00:42:39,120
Speaker 3: would be compared to others.

858
00:42:39,760 --> 00:42:41,520
Speaker 1: And you would mentioned this Stroud thing. I think it

859
00:42:41,600 --> 00:42:43,319
Speaker 1: is worth noting. I mean, he's two and oh straight

860
00:42:43,360 --> 00:42:44,920
Speaker 1: up and against the spread at home in the playoffs,

861
00:42:45,040 --> 00:42:47,680
Speaker 1: zero and two on the road and those you know,

862
00:42:48,160 --> 00:42:51,160
Speaker 1: you hear quarterback stats and you're like, I need more context. Well,

863
00:42:51,280 --> 00:42:53,799
Speaker 1: I mean on those two road games, they've scored twenty

864
00:42:53,840 --> 00:42:56,920
Speaker 1: four total points, scoring fourteen or less in both games.

865
00:42:56,920 --> 00:42:58,960
Speaker 2: You don't you don't need much more contact than that.

866
00:42:59,080 --> 00:43:01,200
Speaker 1: So that has to change if Houston's going to be

867
00:43:01,239 --> 00:43:03,080
Speaker 1: able to produce what they need to do to win

868
00:43:03,120 --> 00:43:05,400
Speaker 1: this game. So to me, that's noteworthy. And then I

869
00:43:05,440 --> 00:43:07,960
Speaker 1: tweeted this out. It's just kind of bonkers that the

870
00:43:07,960 --> 00:43:09,360
Speaker 1: Steelers have started so.

871
00:43:09,200 --> 00:43:10,200
Speaker 2: Slow in playoff games.

872
00:43:10,239 --> 00:43:13,040
Speaker 1: They've been outscored seventy three to nothing in their six

873
00:43:13,239 --> 00:43:17,120
Speaker 1: game playoff losing streak in the first quarter. So I

874
00:43:17,160 --> 00:43:19,520
Speaker 1: mean they've scored seven points or less than sixty nine

875
00:43:19,560 --> 00:43:22,520
Speaker 1: straight first quarters. Like, you're gonna probably need some sort

876
00:43:22,520 --> 00:43:24,320
Speaker 1: of offense at some point. You don't want to fall

877
00:43:24,360 --> 00:43:27,480
Speaker 1: down seven, ten, thirteen, whatever. Is nothing to Houston with

878
00:43:27,520 --> 00:43:30,200
Speaker 1: that defense, So Pittsburgh got to try to change things

879
00:43:30,280 --> 00:43:32,080
Speaker 1: up there. So those are the things that I thought

880
00:43:32,080 --> 00:43:33,080
Speaker 1: were kind of noteworthy.

881
00:43:33,440 --> 00:43:35,439
Speaker 2: I'll give you, just sixty.

882
00:43:35,160 --> 00:43:38,360
Speaker 3: Nine straight without scoring more than seven points in the

883
00:43:38,400 --> 00:43:40,040
Speaker 3: first quarter is insane.

884
00:43:40,000 --> 00:43:43,839
Speaker 1: Insane, and it's just and that's through Rudolph and all

885
00:43:43,880 --> 00:43:48,120
Speaker 1: sorts of different garbage. But nonetheless, the three things I

886
00:43:48,200 --> 00:43:50,160
Speaker 1: were looking at were I kind of like wooding marks

887
00:43:50,160 --> 00:43:52,080
Speaker 1: again in the end zone, even in a low scoring game.

888
00:43:52,080 --> 00:43:53,920
Speaker 1: If I had to pick a touchdown, that would probably

889
00:43:53,920 --> 00:43:56,920
Speaker 1: be my guy. I actually really like mvs. Over nine

890
00:43:56,960 --> 00:44:00,200
Speaker 1: and a half receaving yards. I just feel like in

891
00:44:00,239 --> 00:44:02,759
Speaker 1: this type of game, even with Metcalf back, he's going

892
00:44:02,800 --> 00:44:04,600
Speaker 1: to force it into the tight ends. But I also

893
00:44:04,600 --> 00:44:06,319
Speaker 1: think he's going to force it into the guys he likes,

894
00:44:06,400 --> 00:44:08,680
Speaker 1: because that's just who the hell Rodgers is so I

895
00:44:08,800 --> 00:44:10,680
Speaker 1: like that nine and a half, and I would look

896
00:44:10,680 --> 00:44:12,799
Speaker 1: at Boswell over one and a half field goals. I

897
00:44:12,800 --> 00:44:14,960
Speaker 1: don't love it in this type of game. But again,

898
00:44:15,080 --> 00:44:17,560
Speaker 1: I see Pittsburgh moving the ball up to a certain

899
00:44:17,600 --> 00:44:20,400
Speaker 1: point and then just being steinmiat and Rodgers getting sacked

900
00:44:20,400 --> 00:44:23,160
Speaker 1: and whatever. It ends up being in completions and then

901
00:44:23,160 --> 00:44:24,880
Speaker 1: they end up having to kick field goals. So I

902
00:44:24,880 --> 00:44:26,440
Speaker 1: don't even know what that line is. I didn't look

903
00:44:26,440 --> 00:44:28,000
Speaker 1: at the juice, but over one and a half field

904
00:44:28,000 --> 00:44:30,319
Speaker 1: goals feels like something that'll hit for Boswell. So those

905
00:44:30,320 --> 00:44:31,160
Speaker 1: are my three looks.

906
00:44:32,560 --> 00:44:36,280
Speaker 3: I believe the Giants have the record for that record

907
00:44:36,320 --> 00:44:39,239
Speaker 3: for consecutive games without scoring more than seven points in

908
00:44:39,239 --> 00:44:41,799
Speaker 3: the first quarter, and I think it's current. I think

909
00:44:41,800 --> 00:44:45,480
Speaker 3: it's eighty. Maybe they broke it this year, but I

910
00:44:45,480 --> 00:44:53,200
Speaker 3: don't think I think it's eighty games. I'm Giants eighty

911
00:44:53,320 --> 00:44:56,239
Speaker 3: games without scoring.

912
00:44:57,880 --> 00:45:00,320
Speaker 1: I have the Pittsburgh stack goes back to number of

913
00:45:00,360 --> 00:45:04,280
Speaker 1: twenty twenty two, which is a lot of time for Pittsburgh.

914
00:45:03,800 --> 00:45:04,800
Speaker 2: In a lot of different quarterbacks.

915
00:45:04,840 --> 00:45:06,600
Speaker 3: This one goes back to twenty twenty. O don't know. Let

916
00:45:06,640 --> 00:45:10,359
Speaker 3: me say, wow, I could be making this up.

917
00:45:11,640 --> 00:45:13,160
Speaker 2: Even if you are it sounds impressive.

918
00:45:13,600 --> 00:45:15,200
Speaker 3: Yeah. The New York Giants had a streak of eighty

919
00:45:15,239 --> 00:45:17,560
Speaker 3: consecutive games where they scored no more than seven points

920
00:45:17,600 --> 00:45:19,960
Speaker 3: in the first quarter. Began during the twenty twenty season

921
00:45:19,960 --> 00:45:23,120
Speaker 3: and continued until early in the twenty twenty five seasons,

922
00:45:23,120 --> 00:45:26,080
Speaker 3: so it ended earlier this year. It's the second longest

923
00:45:26,120 --> 00:45:31,240
Speaker 3: streak in NFL history. The longest is.

924
00:45:32,080 --> 00:45:33,759
Speaker 2: Oh, you know what, it might have been russ In

925
00:45:33,840 --> 00:45:38,600
Speaker 2: like that early Cowboys game. Yes, that's a guess.

926
00:45:39,080 --> 00:45:44,840
Speaker 3: The record is held by the Brooklyn Dodgers from nineteen

927
00:45:44,960 --> 00:45:47,120
Speaker 3: thirty to nineteen thirty seven eighty six.

928
00:45:47,320 --> 00:45:48,239
Speaker 2: Jackie Robinson.

929
00:45:48,480 --> 00:45:50,040

934
00:45:59,480 --> 00:46:01,640
Speaker 1: from Brandon Anderson and his Hot Red picks for next

935
00:46:01,640 --> 00:46:08,160
Speaker 1: week Hot Wraps seventy on ice rights ice cream Hoe.

936
00:46:12,640 --> 00:46:16,000
Speaker 5: I'm gonna start with forty nine Ers Seahawks. Gimme the

937
00:46:16,200 --> 00:46:19,279
Speaker 5: under under forty six and a half. Typically you want

938
00:46:19,320 --> 00:46:22,000
Speaker 5: overs in the division round and usually with the Niners.

939
00:46:22,000 --> 00:46:24,480
Speaker 5: But you look a little below the surface here. Obviously,

940
00:46:24,520 --> 00:46:27,439
Speaker 5: these teams just played two weeks ago Seattle thirteen to three,

941
00:46:27,560 --> 00:46:31,399
Speaker 5: dominant win. Niners thirty six percent success rate terrible, one

942
00:46:31,440 --> 00:46:34,239
Speaker 5: hundred and seventy three yards, three points, both of those

943
00:46:34,280 --> 00:46:37,160
Speaker 5: there lowest since their debut game with Cal Shanahan back

944
00:46:37,200 --> 00:46:40,480
Speaker 5: in twenty seventeen. Nine first downs all game. They got

945
00:46:40,480 --> 00:46:43,520
Speaker 5: totally shut down on their money plays sand Fran number

946
00:46:43,840 --> 00:46:47,200
Speaker 5: number one, red zone number one on late downs. They

947
00:46:47,200 --> 00:46:49,759
Speaker 5: were two eleven on late downs oh of one in

948
00:46:49,800 --> 00:46:52,160
Speaker 5: the red zone that game. This is what Seattle went

949
00:46:52,200 --> 00:46:55,719
Speaker 5: out to get Mike McDonald four for these Shanahan McVay offenses,

950
00:46:56,320 --> 00:47:00,480
Speaker 5: Seahawks defense is awesome Number one Dvoway, top two against

951
00:47:00,520 --> 00:47:03,759
Speaker 5: the run and the pass, and importantly top seven are

952
00:47:03,800 --> 00:47:08,000
Speaker 5: better against motion play action under center, middle of the field,

953
00:47:08,480 --> 00:47:12,560
Speaker 5: all those money Shanahan areas. That is what Seattle defense best.

954
00:47:12,640 --> 00:47:16,359
Speaker 5: And it turns out that really wasn't new for the

955
00:47:16,480 --> 00:47:19,480
Speaker 5: Niners offense to stall. We saw it again today against

956
00:47:19,520 --> 00:47:22,520
Speaker 5: a real defense. Check out these splits. Since brock pretty

957
00:47:22,520 --> 00:47:25,880
Speaker 5: returned from injury, Niners have played four games against defenses

958
00:47:25,960 --> 00:47:29,400
Speaker 5: twentieth or worse. Four games against anyone better like twentieth

959
00:47:29,480 --> 00:47:32,080
Speaker 5: is not even good, just even league average or better.

960
00:47:32,120 --> 00:47:35,319
Speaker 5: This is including like Carolina and Cleveland, and those four

961
00:47:35,360 --> 00:47:39,200
Speaker 5: games against the bad defenses average scored the game just

962
00:47:39,360 --> 00:47:42,840
Speaker 5: under seventy points a game forty or fifty four percent

963
00:47:42,880 --> 00:47:45,799
Speaker 5: success rate for the Niners offense, and the other four

964
00:47:45,840 --> 00:47:50,160
Speaker 5: games again against any defense with a pulse forty percent

965
00:47:50,200 --> 00:47:53,319
Speaker 5: success rate down from fifty four. Average score of those

966
00:47:53,320 --> 00:47:57,640
Speaker 5: games not seventy anymore, try thirty thirty point three max

967
00:47:57,680 --> 00:48:00,759
Speaker 5: score of forty two. The Niners off is just not

968
00:48:00,840 --> 00:48:03,600
Speaker 5: scoring against top defenses. I think they got a little

969
00:48:03,640 --> 00:48:07,000
Speaker 5: bit inflated based on some of those bad matchups. Now,

970
00:48:07,040 --> 00:48:09,840
Speaker 5: obviously George Kittle is out. That's a huge loss, especially

971
00:48:09,880 --> 00:48:12,799
Speaker 5: in this matchup. Seattle is not defended tight ends that great.

972
00:48:13,280 --> 00:48:16,399
Speaker 5: Trent Williams is a question mark as always, he missed

973
00:48:16,440 --> 00:48:19,800
Speaker 5: the last game. Ricky Piersoll is an unknown. Niners offense

974
00:48:19,840 --> 00:48:22,600
Speaker 5: has just not been good enough, and Sales offense really

975
00:48:22,600 --> 00:48:25,640
Speaker 5: hasn't been that top notch either. Week eleven, a RAMS game,

976
00:48:25,680 --> 00:48:28,399
Speaker 5: we saw the RAMS count of exposed Seattle, and since

977
00:48:28,440 --> 00:48:31,520
Speaker 5: that game forward, Seattle went from the number one passing

978
00:48:31,560 --> 00:48:35,920
Speaker 5: offense to twenty fifths. That's bottom quarter of the league. Seattle,

979
00:48:36,560 --> 00:48:38,440
Speaker 5: even against the Niners, probably not going to hang a

980
00:48:38,520 --> 00:48:41,400
Speaker 5: huge number. They have been an under team, especially first

981
00:48:41,400 --> 00:48:43,600
Speaker 5: half thirteen and four to the under, so I will

982
00:48:43,600 --> 00:48:45,399
Speaker 5: probably look for a first half under as well.

983
00:48:45,440 --> 00:48:47,040
Speaker 2: But this forty six.

984
00:48:46,880 --> 00:48:49,040
Speaker 5: And a half, this is the same total the Niners

985
00:48:49,080 --> 00:48:51,359
Speaker 5: open against the Eagles, and I don't close forty four.

986
00:48:51,400 --> 00:48:54,600
Speaker 5: I think this goes the same direction that's already going down.

987
00:48:55,320 --> 00:48:57,399
Speaker 5: Forty seven is a key number. We're on the wrong

988
00:48:57,440 --> 00:48:59,480
Speaker 5: side of it, but I think we get towards forty four,

989
00:48:59,480 --> 00:49:02,200
Speaker 5: which is the key number down. Give me the under

990
00:49:02,560 --> 00:49:06,280
Speaker 5: forty six and a half at DraftKings, Seahawks and Niners.

991
00:49:06,360 --> 00:49:09,200
Speaker 5: And while we're here, quick second, high red, keep it

992
00:49:09,280 --> 00:49:13,440
Speaker 5: nice and easy. Seahawks rams money line parlay. It's Evan

993
00:49:13,520 --> 00:49:16,319
Speaker 5: odds right now. This color shot, I think that is

994
00:49:16,360 --> 00:49:19,280
Speaker 5: our NFC championship game. Let's start with the Seahawks.

995
00:49:19,360 --> 00:49:20,000
Speaker 3: We're just there.

996
00:49:20,360 --> 00:49:23,840
Speaker 5: This is a bet on that Mike McDonald defense. Niners

997
00:49:23,880 --> 00:49:27,320
Speaker 5: injured everywhere, all those offensive injuries, and Seattle is rested

998
00:49:27,400 --> 00:49:29,799
Speaker 5: now because they got that thirteen to three road to win.

999
00:49:30,000 --> 00:49:32,400
Speaker 5: This is what they get is the home game with

1000
00:49:32,640 --> 00:49:36,680
Speaker 5: rest against this tired Niners team. I don't really want

1001
00:49:36,680 --> 00:49:39,520
Speaker 5: to trust Darnold in that offense yet, but San Franz

1002
00:49:39,560 --> 00:49:41,799
Speaker 5: defense should be just enough for them to get there.

1003
00:49:41,800 --> 00:49:44,600
Speaker 5: Seattle's zero three in the red zone that game, so

1004
00:49:44,960 --> 00:49:47,040
Speaker 5: probably it shouldn't have been been as close as it did.

1005
00:49:47,080 --> 00:49:50,440
Speaker 5: Turn out. Seattle, when they have fans at home games,

1006
00:49:50,760 --> 00:49:54,720
Speaker 5: ten straight playoff wins, third longest streak in NFL history.

1007
00:49:55,120 --> 00:49:57,640
Speaker 5: I think they get an eleventh one here and host

1008
00:49:57,680 --> 00:50:01,520
Speaker 5: the NFC Championship game against the Rams. This is an

1009
00:50:01,560 --> 00:50:05,320
Speaker 5: easy sell high spot for the Bears, obvious letdown spot

1010
00:50:05,360 --> 00:50:07,879
Speaker 5: emotionally after I can they won their Super Bowl right

1011
00:50:08,120 --> 00:50:11,200
Speaker 5: We saw the comeback the crazy, crazy game against the Packers,

1012
00:50:11,400 --> 00:50:14,319
Speaker 5: but don't forget though the first three quarters count there too.

1013
00:50:14,680 --> 00:50:17,720
Speaker 5: Chicago has been totally outplayed through three quarters twice now

1014
00:50:17,920 --> 00:50:20,239
Speaker 5: in the last month against the Packers, really against some

1015
00:50:20,239 --> 00:50:23,960
Speaker 5: of the Packers' backups before that big finish. Bears lose

1016
00:50:24,000 --> 00:50:27,120
Speaker 5: their starting left tackle, they lose their best linebacker and

1017
00:50:27,160 --> 00:50:30,239
Speaker 5: TG Edwards. Their corners are all banged up. This is

1018
00:50:30,320 --> 00:50:32,680
Speaker 5: really a good get right spot, I think for the Rams,

1019
00:50:32,760 --> 00:50:35,600
Speaker 5: especially that Rams offense. I think they can name their

1020
00:50:35,680 --> 00:50:38,880
Speaker 5: number against the Bears defense. Bears d by far the

1021
00:50:38,880 --> 00:50:40,920
Speaker 5: weak link on the field, similar to Santa Fran in

1022
00:50:40,960 --> 00:50:44,680
Speaker 5: the other game. Stafford's fingers supposedly looks fine. How gon

1023
00:50:44,680 --> 00:50:47,560
Speaker 5: to count on the Rams to score? Do the Bears score?

1024
00:50:48,040 --> 00:50:51,360
Speaker 5: They might Ben Johnson might find some answers. Rams defense

1025
00:50:51,400 --> 00:50:52,960
Speaker 5: has been a little bit leaky, but you don't want

1026
00:50:52,960 --> 00:50:54,799
Speaker 5: to want to shoot out against the Rams. Not with

1027
00:50:54,880 --> 00:50:58,319
Speaker 5: that Bears defense. Rams didn't get the one seed, but

1028
00:50:58,920 --> 00:51:01,680
Speaker 5: they didn't kind of get lucky. They get Carolina and

1029
00:51:01,680 --> 00:51:04,000
Speaker 5: now this banged up Bears team rather than a road

1030
00:51:04,000 --> 00:51:06,120
Speaker 5: game in a failure or something like that. This is

1031
00:51:06,120 --> 00:51:09,120
Speaker 5: my Super Bowl pick, my favorite. I think they're the

1032
00:51:09,160 --> 00:51:11,160
Speaker 5: surer win of these teams, even though they're a bit

1033
00:51:11,200 --> 00:51:13,400
Speaker 5: shorter on the line. So I'll probably be back on

1034
00:51:13,560 --> 00:51:16,160
Speaker 5: Rams and Alts this week. So I'm just gonna ride

1035
00:51:16,160 --> 00:51:18,360
Speaker 5: the two favorites here. I think the public will as well,

1036
00:51:18,680 --> 00:51:19,439
Speaker 5: especially with all.

1037
00:51:19,360 --> 00:51:20,280
Speaker 2: The injury news.

1038
00:51:20,800 --> 00:51:23,359
Speaker 5: So I think these lines do rise a little bit,

1039
00:51:23,719 --> 00:51:26,800
Speaker 5: maybe towards six ish for the Rams, maybe to seven

1040
00:51:26,920 --> 00:51:29,480
Speaker 5: or past for Seattle. We're getting plus one hundred on

1041
00:51:29,520 --> 00:51:32,640
Speaker 5: the money line parlay. I think by game day next weekend,

1042
00:51:32,920 --> 00:51:35,480
Speaker 5: maybe more like minus one twenty five one to thirty.

1043
00:51:35,600 --> 00:51:39,839
Speaker 5: So let's grab a rams Seattle money line parlay at

1044
00:51:39,880 --> 00:51:42,480
Speaker 5: even odds plus one hundred and called a rap. Let's

1045
00:51:42,520 --> 00:51:43,919
Speaker 5: get to the NFC Championship.

1046
00:51:44,440 --> 00:51:45,360
