1
00:00:00,680 --> 00:00:20,400
Speaker 1: Yeah, Hi everyone. Welcome to Packers Unscripted from Packers dot Com.

2
00:00:20,440 --> 00:00:23,480
Speaker 1: I am Mike Spofford sitting next to my partner in crime,

3
00:00:23,520 --> 00:00:26,120
Speaker 1: West hod Kuitz. Were coming to you here from our

4
00:00:26,160 --> 00:00:29,320
Speaker 1: studios at lambeau Field West. It is Friday, our final

5
00:00:29,400 --> 00:00:31,880
Speaker 1: show of the week and that means Keys to Victory

6
00:00:32,000 --> 00:00:37,559
Speaker 1: Day Packers Chargers Sunday out in Los Angeles. Where do

7
00:00:37,600 --> 00:00:39,960
Speaker 1: you start with this one? What will it take for

8
00:00:40,080 --> 00:00:42,559
Speaker 1: the Packers to come back to green Bay eight and one?

9
00:00:42,920 --> 00:00:46,080
Speaker 1: Taking care of business? That's been my mentality this entire week,

10
00:00:46,120 --> 00:00:48,159
Speaker 1: I think for this team and where this all shuffles

11
00:00:48,159 --> 00:00:51,760
Speaker 1: out for them, they have done so many different things

12
00:00:51,760 --> 00:00:55,080
Speaker 1: well situationally that certainly you need those things to line

13
00:00:55,160 --> 00:00:57,680
Speaker 1: up again if this ends up being a close ball game,

14
00:00:57,760 --> 00:01:00,600
Speaker 1: is I still anticipate it will be. I do too.

15
00:01:00,640 --> 00:01:04,039
Speaker 1: But the thing about green Bay that separated them from being,

16
00:01:04,400 --> 00:01:06,959
Speaker 1: you know, at this point of the season, you know,

17
00:01:07,000 --> 00:01:09,080
Speaker 1: sitting where they are, and then the Chargers being in

18
00:01:09,080 --> 00:01:11,440
Speaker 1: the position they are with five losses already, is that

19
00:01:11,800 --> 00:01:15,080
Speaker 1: Packers have executed so much better with the situational things,

20
00:01:15,080 --> 00:01:17,399
Speaker 1: whether it's the four minute offense to close out games,

21
00:01:17,400 --> 00:01:20,240
Speaker 1: whether it's their fifteen, you know, first scripted place to

22
00:01:20,280 --> 00:01:24,360
Speaker 1: start games, third down Situationally, they've been excellent this year.

23
00:01:24,360 --> 00:01:26,120
Speaker 1: It's been an area that's plagued them in the past.

24
00:01:27,080 --> 00:01:28,920
Speaker 1: The biggest key I think for Green Bay is going

25
00:01:28,959 --> 00:01:31,200
Speaker 1: to be if you can have enough stitch enough of

26
00:01:31,240 --> 00:01:34,280
Speaker 1: those things together. And then, by the way, if you

27
00:01:34,319 --> 00:01:37,560
Speaker 1: get Davante Adams back, the element that that offers to this,

28
00:01:38,080 --> 00:01:40,160
Speaker 1: you know, and to this offense and a challenge to

29
00:01:40,600 --> 00:01:42,880
Speaker 1: the Chargers defense, I think really could be a thing

30
00:01:42,920 --> 00:01:45,600
Speaker 1: that tips the scales. Yeah, I think the Packers, for

31
00:01:47,040 --> 00:01:49,320
Speaker 1: all the talk about how it's going to be a

32
00:01:49,360 --> 00:01:52,280
Speaker 1: pro Packers crowd and you know, won't really be like

33
00:01:52,320 --> 00:01:54,480
Speaker 1: a true road game and all that kind of stuff,

34
00:01:55,520 --> 00:01:58,240
Speaker 1: I think the Packers have to be ready for another

35
00:01:58,280 --> 00:02:00,600
Speaker 1: one of those punches in the mouth they got from

36
00:02:00,680 --> 00:02:04,360
Speaker 1: Kansas City last week. Because this is a Chargers team.

37
00:02:04,480 --> 00:02:06,440
Speaker 1: They were two and five, they were on they were

38
00:02:06,440 --> 00:02:09,639
Speaker 1: on the brink. If Eddie Pineiro's kick goes through at

39
00:02:09,680 --> 00:02:13,639
Speaker 1: Soldier Field last week, the Chargers season almost for all

40
00:02:13,680 --> 00:02:16,480
Speaker 1: intents and purposes, is over at two and six at

41
00:02:16,480 --> 00:02:20,240
Speaker 1: a halfway point. They got a reprieve. They know it,

42
00:02:20,320 --> 00:02:22,560
Speaker 1: and this is a this is a good team that

43
00:02:22,680 --> 00:02:26,000
Speaker 1: made a really strong second half run last year. I

44
00:02:26,040 --> 00:02:28,840
Speaker 1: expect them to give the Packers absolutely everything they can

45
00:02:28,880 --> 00:02:31,160
Speaker 1: handle because they're still in this thing, and they know

46
00:02:31,240 --> 00:02:33,320
Speaker 1: if they get to four and five with seven games

47
00:02:33,360 --> 00:02:36,040
Speaker 1: to go, as up and down as a lot of

48
00:02:36,080 --> 00:02:38,160
Speaker 1: teams are in the a f C right now, aside

49
00:02:38,160 --> 00:02:40,720
Speaker 1: from the New England Patriots, I think the Chargers are

50
00:02:40,720 --> 00:02:44,040
Speaker 1: gonna feel like they're right in and and uh in

51
00:02:44,080 --> 00:02:46,280
Speaker 1: a lot of ways. The Packers have to do what

52
00:02:46,320 --> 00:02:49,200
Speaker 1: they did last week against Kansas City, which is when

53
00:02:49,680 --> 00:02:52,080
Speaker 1: that momentum starts to turn the other way, because I

54
00:02:52,120 --> 00:02:53,799
Speaker 1: think there's going to be a stretch in this game

55
00:02:53,840 --> 00:02:56,680
Speaker 1: when it will. The Packers need to limit the damage.

56
00:02:56,680 --> 00:03:00,960
Speaker 1: And I thought last week stopping that Kansas City drive

57
00:03:01,040 --> 00:03:02,520
Speaker 1: right at the end of the first half and making

58
00:03:02,560 --> 00:03:04,800
Speaker 1: them kick a field goal so it was only seventeen

59
00:03:04,880 --> 00:03:08,480
Speaker 1: fourteen at halftime instead of twenty one to fourteen after

60
00:03:08,520 --> 00:03:10,840
Speaker 1: the Packers were up fourteen nothing earlier, I thought that

61
00:03:10,919 --> 00:03:14,040
Speaker 1: was starting to turn things back in the other direction.

62
00:03:14,040 --> 00:03:16,280
Speaker 1: And the Packers are going to need a couple of

63
00:03:16,360 --> 00:03:19,200
Speaker 1: moments like that, I think in this game on Sunday

64
00:03:19,240 --> 00:03:24,839
Speaker 1: to withstand or at least limit a surge from the Chargers. Yeah,

65
00:03:24,840 --> 00:03:26,760
Speaker 1: the Charges are the most dangerous type of three and

66
00:03:26,880 --> 00:03:29,080
Speaker 1: five team that you're going to face because they can

67
00:03:29,120 --> 00:03:32,080
Speaker 1: basically play to anybody's level. And you've seen that. You know,

68
00:03:32,120 --> 00:03:34,840
Speaker 1: they can obviously play down to the competition, but they

69
00:03:34,840 --> 00:03:36,960
Speaker 1: can play up to it as well. And you know,

70
00:03:37,120 --> 00:03:39,160
Speaker 1: Philip Rivers has been through so many of these things

71
00:03:39,160 --> 00:03:41,400
Speaker 1: over the years. The thing that does stand out to me, though, Mike,

72
00:03:41,440 --> 00:03:44,240
Speaker 1: if you look at it, the games in which Rivers

73
00:03:44,240 --> 00:03:46,720
Speaker 1: has turned over the football have been mostly the games

74
00:03:46,720 --> 00:03:50,000
Speaker 1: where the Chargers have not prevailed. That game against Detroit

75
00:03:50,480 --> 00:03:53,440
Speaker 1: seventy three passer rating, they lose thirteen to ten. The

76
00:03:53,520 --> 00:03:57,000
Speaker 1: loss to Denver, which was a demoralizing one thirteen a

77
00:03:57,040 --> 00:04:00,240
Speaker 1: fifty eight point six passer rating. To intercept is in

78
00:04:00,280 --> 00:04:04,880
Speaker 1: that ball game Pittsburgh the following week two more interception eight.

79
00:04:05,440 --> 00:04:08,360
Speaker 1: When he's been on, they've had a chance. When he's

80
00:04:08,400 --> 00:04:13,320
Speaker 1: been off, it's it's hurt them. But with Philip Rivers

81
00:04:13,400 --> 00:04:15,120
Speaker 1: playing the way he does in the structure of this

82
00:04:15,200 --> 00:04:17,280
Speaker 1: offense is that he can still go off at any time.

83
00:04:17,960 --> 00:04:19,800
Speaker 1: I mentioned Insider in box. I look at him and

84
00:04:19,880 --> 00:04:22,880
Speaker 1: Keenan Allen is one of the top quarterback receiver combos

85
00:04:22,920 --> 00:04:26,240
Speaker 1: in this league right now. And for that reason is

86
00:04:26,279 --> 00:04:28,559
Speaker 1: why I think, yeah, if there's going to be some series,

87
00:04:28,600 --> 00:04:30,200
Speaker 1: if there's going to be some drives that they end

88
00:04:30,279 --> 00:04:33,920
Speaker 1: up you know, putting together, you know, lengthy eight nine plays,

89
00:04:34,200 --> 00:04:36,320
Speaker 1: they move the ball, you have to be able to

90
00:04:36,320 --> 00:04:38,080
Speaker 1: stay stout in the red zone. And the Packers have

91
00:04:38,160 --> 00:04:42,400
Speaker 1: been terrific in that way this season. So there there's

92
00:04:42,440 --> 00:04:44,640
Speaker 1: gonna be those adverse moments. And even if it is

93
00:04:44,680 --> 00:04:48,880
Speaker 1: a pro Packers crowd inside you know, the stadium, thirty

94
00:04:48,920 --> 00:04:51,120
Speaker 1: thousand seats or whatever, most of it on top of

95
00:04:51,160 --> 00:04:54,479
Speaker 1: the field, you still have to be ready to rally.

96
00:04:54,520 --> 00:04:56,200
Speaker 1: You still have to be ready to cut it out.

97
00:04:56,360 --> 00:04:58,720
Speaker 1: And I think one thing that the seven and one

98
00:04:58,760 --> 00:05:01,160
Speaker 1: start has taught the Packers and Ron Williams was discussing

99
00:05:01,200 --> 00:05:03,599
Speaker 1: in the locker room this week, is when you find

100
00:05:03,640 --> 00:05:06,599
Speaker 1: ways to win like this and you keep you know,

101
00:05:06,680 --> 00:05:10,480
Speaker 1: getting those ws in your your win column, that's what's

102
00:05:10,480 --> 00:05:12,200
Speaker 1: going to propel you into the second half of a

103
00:05:12,240 --> 00:05:15,520
Speaker 1: season because you've been there before many times. And then

104
00:05:15,600 --> 00:05:19,320
Speaker 1: so yeah, I I agree with you entirely, because as

105
00:05:19,320 --> 00:05:21,680
Speaker 1: we talked about at the beginning, of the week. There's

106
00:05:21,680 --> 00:05:24,400
Speaker 1: a narrative with this Chargers team in twenty nineteen and

107
00:05:24,440 --> 00:05:26,520
Speaker 1: one with this Packers team in twenty nineteen, and a

108
00:05:26,520 --> 00:05:31,039
Speaker 1: lot of it comes down to executing being the better

109
00:05:31,080 --> 00:05:33,240
Speaker 1: team in the fourth quarter, and the Chargers for the

110
00:05:33,240 --> 00:05:35,280
Speaker 1: most part have not been and that is why they

111
00:05:35,279 --> 00:05:37,279
Speaker 1: are three and five, and they very easily could be

112
00:05:37,320 --> 00:05:39,520
Speaker 1: two and six. As I said, if that, you know,

113
00:05:39,560 --> 00:05:41,839
Speaker 1: they gave up the drive that set up the field goal.

114
00:05:42,000 --> 00:05:44,640
Speaker 1: They weren't getting it done when they needed to in

115
00:05:44,640 --> 00:05:47,159
Speaker 1: the fourth quarter, but they caught a break. The Packers

116
00:05:47,240 --> 00:05:49,039
Speaker 1: for the most part have been the better team in

117
00:05:49,080 --> 00:05:52,279
Speaker 1: the fourth quarter this year and that's why they're seven

118
00:05:52,279 --> 00:05:55,440
Speaker 1: and one. So as far as with green Bay, that

119
00:05:55,560 --> 00:05:58,200
Speaker 1: being who you are, you want to continue to be

120
00:05:58,279 --> 00:06:00,320
Speaker 1: that team. But it's funny to me, is somebody in

121
00:06:00,400 --> 00:06:02,559
Speaker 1: inbox this week brought up He's like, well, Philip Rivers

122
00:06:02,560 --> 00:06:05,599
Speaker 1: has never won against the Packers, which technically is true.

123
00:06:05,640 --> 00:06:08,400
Speaker 1: He's owing three against Green Bay, but he's put up

124
00:06:08,400 --> 00:06:10,880
Speaker 1: a lot of yards against green Bay. Yeah, I mean,

125
00:06:10,880 --> 00:06:12,559
Speaker 1: I think about that game. I think in two thousand

126
00:06:12,640 --> 00:06:15,080
Speaker 1: fifteen that they played here at lambeau Field. I want

127
00:06:15,120 --> 00:06:17,160
Speaker 1: to say he threw for was it four or eight

128
00:06:17,279 --> 00:06:19,960
Speaker 1: yards or something insane? It was it was over four hundred.

129
00:06:20,000 --> 00:06:21,800
Speaker 1: I know that he was throwing the ball all over

130
00:06:21,800 --> 00:06:24,560
Speaker 1: the place. And the game out in San Diego in

131
00:06:24,800 --> 00:06:27,240
Speaker 1: two thousand eleven, the Packers have built a big lead

132
00:06:27,279 --> 00:06:29,680
Speaker 1: and the Chargers were coming back. It turned out to

133
00:06:30,000 --> 00:06:32,800
Speaker 1: kind of be a shootout, going back and forth, and

134
00:06:32,960 --> 00:06:35,480
Speaker 1: um the Chargers lost the game but still put up

135
00:06:35,480 --> 00:06:37,800
Speaker 1: thirty four points and Rivers had some big numbers that

136
00:06:37,880 --> 00:06:40,960
Speaker 1: day as well. Yeah. I mean, he's averaging three yards

137
00:06:41,000 --> 00:06:43,440
Speaker 1: per game against Green Bay through the air in those

138
00:06:43,480 --> 00:06:45,719
Speaker 1: three games. So you can't just look at the wins

139
00:06:45,720 --> 00:06:47,400
Speaker 1: and losses and be like, Okay, well this is just

140
00:06:47,400 --> 00:06:50,640
Speaker 1: gonna be an easy cake walk. He's going to present challenges.

141
00:06:50,720 --> 00:06:52,600
Speaker 1: But the point I want to get to at the

142
00:06:52,680 --> 00:06:54,600
Speaker 1: end of all this is that the takeaways can be

143
00:06:54,640 --> 00:06:57,039
Speaker 1: the difference maker, that can be the common denominator when

144
00:06:57,160 --> 00:06:59,880
Speaker 1: when you're looking for a path to victory against l

145
00:07:00,040 --> 00:07:02,080
Speaker 1: A and and there's just they've given the ball away

146
00:07:02,080 --> 00:07:03,880
Speaker 1: too much and then they just haven't been able to

147
00:07:03,880 --> 00:07:05,320
Speaker 1: take it away the way they have in the past

148
00:07:05,320 --> 00:07:08,000
Speaker 1: few seasons. So if the Packers can win that area,

149
00:07:08,040 --> 00:07:11,200
Speaker 1: which I want to say, in what six of their

150
00:07:11,240 --> 00:07:14,280
Speaker 1: eight games so far they have that that is going

151
00:07:14,320 --> 00:07:16,760
Speaker 1: to be a big path here for the Packers to proceed. Yeah. Well,

152
00:07:16,760 --> 00:07:18,880
Speaker 1: a couple of stats and info nuggets here for you,

153
00:07:19,000 --> 00:07:21,560
Speaker 1: wes Um. I actually looked this up just before we

154
00:07:21,640 --> 00:07:25,160
Speaker 1: came into the studio. Philip Rivers will be the first

155
00:07:25,960 --> 00:07:30,000
Speaker 1: a f C quarterback to face Aaron Rodgers three times

156
00:07:30,080 --> 00:07:33,680
Speaker 1: with the same team. Yeah, it's never happened before, partly

157
00:07:33,720 --> 00:07:37,400
Speaker 1: because of Rogers injuries where he's missed games with Roethlisberger

158
00:07:37,440 --> 00:07:40,720
Speaker 1: because you know, because of injuries. He did face Flacco

159
00:07:40,840 --> 00:07:42,920
Speaker 1: for a third time this past year, but that was

160
00:07:43,040 --> 00:07:45,760
Speaker 1: once with Denver as opposed to the first two with Baltimore.

161
00:07:46,000 --> 00:07:48,160
Speaker 1: So that's just kind of interesting because because of the

162
00:07:48,200 --> 00:07:51,320
Speaker 1: once every four years thing that here Rogers and Rivers

163
00:07:51,360 --> 00:07:54,640
Speaker 1: are facing off with the same teams for the third time.

164
00:07:55,040 --> 00:07:57,960
Speaker 1: The other thing is, do you know how far how

165
00:07:58,000 --> 00:08:01,280
Speaker 1: far back you have to go to find a Packers

166
00:08:01,320 --> 00:08:03,800
Speaker 1: game that was played in front of a crowd of

167
00:08:03,920 --> 00:08:09,600
Speaker 1: roughly thirty thousand people? I must you're pretty close. There

168
00:08:09,640 --> 00:08:10,880
Speaker 1: was one in the I remember there was one in

169
00:08:10,920 --> 00:08:14,440
Speaker 1: the eighties or nineties. There were actually a couple of

170
00:08:14,480 --> 00:08:17,240
Speaker 1: games that year. One was that the Pontiac Silver Dome

171
00:08:17,280 --> 00:08:20,040
Speaker 1: in Detroit, where the announced attendants was like twenty nine

172
00:08:20,040 --> 00:08:23,640
Speaker 1: thousand people. It's a good year for the Lions. But anyway,

173
00:08:23,720 --> 00:08:27,640
Speaker 1: just kind of an interesting. Yeah, there were there were

174
00:08:27,680 --> 00:08:30,080
Speaker 1: I'm trying to remember now. I I apologize for not

175
00:08:30,200 --> 00:08:32,600
Speaker 1: writing it down. I think it was against Atlanta. Was

176
00:08:32,679 --> 00:08:34,800
Speaker 1: the other one that where the the announced crowd was

177
00:08:34,880 --> 00:08:39,960
Speaker 1: like thousand something That just like a post like player

178
00:08:40,000 --> 00:08:42,560
Speaker 1: lockout kind of lull that really, I don't know, Yeah,

179
00:08:42,640 --> 00:08:46,400
Speaker 1: it was, it was odd. The numbers there were odd.

180
00:08:46,600 --> 00:08:49,440
Speaker 1: I wanted to ask you, though, with regard to crowd size,

181
00:08:49,679 --> 00:08:52,720
Speaker 1: what do you make of what we're expecting to see

182
00:08:52,760 --> 00:08:55,680
Speaker 1: in terms of this invasion of the Packers fans, Because

183
00:08:56,160 --> 00:08:57,839
Speaker 1: I mean, I think it's going to be a really

184
00:08:57,880 --> 00:09:03,320
Speaker 1: really unique atmosphere to have potentially a pro Packers crowd

185
00:09:03,400 --> 00:09:06,200
Speaker 1: that's not at lambeau Field. I find that really intriguing

186
00:09:06,240 --> 00:09:08,800
Speaker 1: and I'm really anxious to see what that's going to

187
00:09:08,840 --> 00:09:11,640
Speaker 1: be like. But as far as the impact on the game,

188
00:09:11,840 --> 00:09:14,520
Speaker 1: one of the points I made in Insider in Boxes

189
00:09:14,600 --> 00:09:18,600
Speaker 1: that the Chargers know what this is like because earlier

190
00:09:18,640 --> 00:09:21,880
Speaker 1: this year they played a primetime game in that stadium

191
00:09:21,920 --> 00:09:26,720
Speaker 1: against the Pittsburgh Steelers, and that traveling contingent of Pittsburgh fans.

192
00:09:26,760 --> 00:09:28,560
Speaker 1: They took over the place and they made it a

193
00:09:28,559 --> 00:09:32,479
Speaker 1: home game for Pittsburgh. So from the whole atmosphere and

194
00:09:32,480 --> 00:09:35,840
Speaker 1: and dealing with that type of crowd situation in your

195
00:09:35,880 --> 00:09:38,760
Speaker 1: own stadium, so to speak, the Charges have dealt with

196
00:09:38,800 --> 00:09:41,880
Speaker 1: this before, So from that standpoint, it's not there's not

197
00:09:41,920 --> 00:09:43,839
Speaker 1: going to be some sort of a shelf shock or

198
00:09:43,880 --> 00:09:46,079
Speaker 1: a shock to the system. And in that respect, yeah,

199
00:09:46,160 --> 00:09:48,280
Speaker 1: So if I had my druthers here, I'd rather be

200
00:09:48,320 --> 00:09:50,920
Speaker 1: in London this week. I wish that that would have

201
00:09:50,920 --> 00:09:52,440
Speaker 1: been where the game is going to be playing, so

202
00:09:52,480 --> 00:09:54,880
Speaker 1: all this snow falling outside we wouldn't have to deal

203
00:09:54,920 --> 00:09:57,880
Speaker 1: with until we get back. No, But okay, so that's

204
00:09:58,040 --> 00:10:00,160
Speaker 1: first and foremost. I still think, I mean, and they

205
00:10:00,160 --> 00:10:02,080
Speaker 1: should have played this game in London. I actually even

206
00:10:02,160 --> 00:10:04,240
Speaker 1: I said this on the yesterday show for the Charger's sake,

207
00:10:04,240 --> 00:10:06,120
Speaker 1: I think would have benefited them to have it in London.

208
00:10:06,280 --> 00:10:08,480
Speaker 1: I was pegging this game to be the one in London,

209
00:10:08,559 --> 00:10:12,880
Speaker 1: going back to like ten, like per Packers at Chargers

210
00:10:12,880 --> 00:10:15,120
Speaker 1: in nineteen that's got to be the game that's going

211
00:10:15,160 --> 00:10:17,120
Speaker 1: to London. We're going to l A, going to l

212
00:10:17,160 --> 00:10:21,000
Speaker 1: A instead. But uh, that little mini Lambeau that's gonna

213
00:10:21,040 --> 00:10:22,760
Speaker 1: be over there is going to be something to be

214
00:10:22,800 --> 00:10:25,280
Speaker 1: a part of. Because here's the thing. Thirty thousand seats

215
00:10:25,280 --> 00:10:29,320
Speaker 1: for football I think twenty seven thousand for soccer being

216
00:10:29,320 --> 00:10:31,920
Speaker 1: in Winnipeg this year, even though it didn't fill up,

217
00:10:32,120 --> 00:10:34,920
Speaker 1: that was a thirty three thousand seat stadium, So it

218
00:10:35,000 --> 00:10:36,839
Speaker 1: gives you sort of a little bit of a field.

219
00:10:36,800 --> 00:10:38,480
Speaker 1: I don't know where the press boxes. We could be

220
00:10:38,480 --> 00:10:41,640
Speaker 1: behind the outhouse for all I know. But as far

221
00:10:41,679 --> 00:10:45,640
Speaker 1: as the feeling of the stadium, I've envisioning it in

222
00:10:45,720 --> 00:10:48,680
Speaker 1: my mind much like Winnipeg, and if that plays out,

223
00:10:48,800 --> 00:10:51,040
Speaker 1: it's gonna be a really cool environment. To answer your

224
00:10:51,040 --> 00:10:53,680
Speaker 1: original question, I think it gonna be really fun to

225
00:10:53,720 --> 00:10:55,600
Speaker 1: be a part of because it's so intimate and in

226
00:10:55,640 --> 00:10:57,400
Speaker 1: this day and age, and you look at college football

227
00:10:57,520 --> 00:11:01,400
Speaker 1: hundred thousand seeds stadiums, the NFL seven eight seed stadiums,

228
00:11:01,480 --> 00:11:05,280
Speaker 1: Jerry World or whatever it was for that game, you

229
00:11:05,480 --> 00:11:08,280
Speaker 1: very rarely get an opportunity to play in this kind

230
00:11:08,280 --> 00:11:11,720
Speaker 1: of environment. So I think, let me put it this

231
00:11:11,760 --> 00:11:15,840
Speaker 1: way too. The people that are forking over that cash,

232
00:11:15,840 --> 00:11:18,440
Speaker 1: whether it was straightaway at the ticket office or on

233
00:11:18,480 --> 00:11:21,160
Speaker 1: the secondary market, You've got to be a pretty big

234
00:11:21,200 --> 00:11:23,520
Speaker 1: fan to be able to wanting to pay that kind

235
00:11:23,520 --> 00:11:25,760
Speaker 1: of you know, premium. So I think it's going to

236
00:11:25,840 --> 00:11:28,200
Speaker 1: be an awesome environment to be a part of. Yeah,

237
00:11:28,200 --> 00:11:32,640
Speaker 1: I'm really looking forward to it too, I think, I mean, yeah,

238
00:11:32,640 --> 00:11:35,280
Speaker 1: this will be the only the only time the Packers

239
00:11:35,559 --> 00:11:39,480
Speaker 1: in their hundred one year history and moving forward will

240
00:11:39,520 --> 00:11:42,920
Speaker 1: play a game in this particular stadium because the next

241
00:11:42,920 --> 00:11:45,520
Speaker 1: time the Packers are going to play the Chargers on

242
00:11:45,559 --> 00:11:48,440
Speaker 1: the road, obviously it'll be well after the new stadium

243
00:11:48,440 --> 00:11:50,280
Speaker 1: in l A has built, the one that the Rams

244
00:11:50,280 --> 00:11:54,079
Speaker 1: and the Chargers are going to share eventually, So this

245
00:11:54,160 --> 00:11:59,559
Speaker 1: is eventually, supposedly allegedly. But yeah, I think it's going

246
00:11:59,600 --> 00:12:01,360
Speaker 1: to be I think it's going to be fun. I

247
00:12:01,400 --> 00:12:04,000
Speaker 1: do want to take a look at what else is

248
00:12:04,040 --> 00:12:06,920
Speaker 1: going on in Week nine in the NFL though. Before

249
00:12:07,280 --> 00:12:09,680
Speaker 1: we signed off for the week, we saw hack of

250
00:12:09,720 --> 00:12:12,800
Speaker 1: a ballgame last night on Thursday Night Football. Look like

251
00:12:12,880 --> 00:12:15,680
Speaker 1: the forty Niners were in command. They had a two

252
00:12:15,720 --> 00:12:17,800
Speaker 1: score lead with about five minutes to go, all of

253
00:12:17,840 --> 00:12:21,520
Speaker 1: a sudden boom and eighty eight yard touchdown pass, and

254
00:12:21,600 --> 00:12:25,760
Speaker 1: the Cardinals had a couple of really really big chances

255
00:12:25,800 --> 00:12:27,680
Speaker 1: to get the ball back down the stretch. A third

256
00:12:27,720 --> 00:12:29,960
Speaker 1: and eleven they gave it up, a third and nine

257
00:12:30,120 --> 00:12:32,760
Speaker 1: they gave it up, And the forty Niners were able

258
00:12:32,800 --> 00:12:35,680
Speaker 1: to kill those last five minutes without giving the ball

259
00:12:35,679 --> 00:12:39,000
Speaker 1: back to the Cardinals with just a three point deficits.

260
00:12:39,080 --> 00:12:41,240
Speaker 1: So this is what's remarkable about what the Cardinals did.

261
00:12:41,440 --> 00:12:45,440
Speaker 1: And everybody wants to talk about Cliff Kingsbury in their offense. Defensively,

262
00:12:45,480 --> 00:12:47,680
Speaker 1: they were pretty much the first team to solve the

263
00:12:47,679 --> 00:12:51,240
Speaker 1: San Francisco run game puzzle. Now, certainly it's a little

264
00:12:51,280 --> 00:12:54,920
Speaker 1: bit easier without use check in there, but it's still dynamic.

265
00:12:55,240 --> 00:12:57,360
Speaker 1: Just asked my fantasy football team that had to play

266
00:12:57,400 --> 00:13:01,559
Speaker 1: Tevin Coleman last week when he off for all those touchdowns.

267
00:13:01,600 --> 00:13:05,520
Speaker 1: In this game, Tevin Coleman three carries, twelve carries for

268
00:13:05,520 --> 00:13:09,120
Speaker 1: twenty three yards. Matthew Brita also struggling to get going.

269
00:13:09,679 --> 00:13:12,680
Speaker 1: But this is where the forty Niners really can be dangerous.

270
00:13:13,200 --> 00:13:15,680
Speaker 1: I asked that question I think last week about Okay,

271
00:13:15,720 --> 00:13:18,520
Speaker 1: can the forty Niners win when they can't run. Now,

272
00:13:18,600 --> 00:13:20,960
Speaker 1: they weren't playing from behind per se in this game,

273
00:13:21,360 --> 00:13:24,120
Speaker 1: but when they needed Jimmy Garoppolo to be the quarterback,

274
00:13:24,160 --> 00:13:26,560
Speaker 1: to be the leader, to be there, the centerpiece of

275
00:13:26,559 --> 00:13:29,559
Speaker 1: that offense, he came through. And as we were walking

276
00:13:29,600 --> 00:13:32,319
Speaker 1: in here, I believe it was Matthew Arvin, our valued producer,

277
00:13:32,720 --> 00:13:35,640
Speaker 1: who mentioned eighteen and two now for Garoppolo as a

278
00:13:35,679 --> 00:13:38,920
Speaker 1: starting quarterback. I think that just saw that. You saw

279
00:13:38,960 --> 00:13:42,000
Speaker 1: the standard in there. I thought the Cardinals played a

280
00:13:42,040 --> 00:13:46,360
Speaker 1: tremendous football game. I think the San Francisco forty Niners

281
00:13:46,360 --> 00:13:49,120
Speaker 1: are a tremendous team. And when that team stays together

282
00:13:49,160 --> 00:13:51,040
Speaker 1: and doesn't turn over the football, even if you don't

283
00:13:51,080 --> 00:13:53,520
Speaker 1: have the best aspect of your offense, you're still going

284
00:13:53,559 --> 00:13:55,719
Speaker 1: to find a way to victory. Yeah. Well, the San

285
00:13:55,760 --> 00:14:00,200
Speaker 1: Francisco forty Niners are eight. No, they remain the only

286
00:14:00,280 --> 00:14:04,640
Speaker 1: undefeated team in the NFC to this point. Looking at

287
00:14:04,640 --> 00:14:08,600
Speaker 1: the NFC North, interestingly, as we had talked about last week,

288
00:14:08,920 --> 00:14:12,439
Speaker 1: the Minnesota Vikings now head to Arrowhead Stadium and to

289
00:14:12,480 --> 00:14:16,199
Speaker 1: play the Kansas City Chiefs one week after the Packers did.

290
00:14:16,200 --> 00:14:18,360
Speaker 1: I think this is going to be a really interesting matchup.

291
00:14:18,360 --> 00:14:21,120
Speaker 1: I will admit I haven't been paying attention to any

292
00:14:21,120 --> 00:14:23,160
Speaker 1: of the talk of whether Mahomes is going to come

293
00:14:23,160 --> 00:14:25,440
Speaker 1: back this week or if they're still sticking with Matt Moore.

294
00:14:25,480 --> 00:14:28,240
Speaker 1: Have you heard anything what the Chiefs are doing. What

295
00:14:28,400 --> 00:14:32,320
Speaker 1: is funny about this is that it's your last week.

296
00:14:32,360 --> 00:14:34,760
Speaker 1: Packer fans are all like, and I've seen an inbox

297
00:14:34,800 --> 00:14:36,880
Speaker 1: a little bit. I've seen it definitely on Twitter. Packer

298
00:14:36,920 --> 00:14:39,640
Speaker 1: fans are like, how could you ever consider playing Patrick

299
00:14:39,680 --> 00:14:42,880
Speaker 1: Mahomes on nine days after this injury? And then all

300
00:14:42,920 --> 00:14:46,320
Speaker 1: week this week it's been why isn't a full participant,

301
00:14:46,520 --> 00:14:49,760
Speaker 1: Come on, get out there and play. Shoot, I'm out there. Uh,

302
00:14:49,800 --> 00:14:52,040
Speaker 1: he's still limited and at the time in which we're

303
00:14:52,040 --> 00:14:54,040
Speaker 1: taping this, we still don't have an update. The reports

304
00:14:54,040 --> 00:14:56,200
Speaker 1: have been that they're looking more at the Titans game

305
00:14:56,600 --> 00:14:58,360
Speaker 1: as far as when he's going to be back. But

306
00:14:58,360 --> 00:15:01,200
Speaker 1: but it's which is kind of what the original projection was,

307
00:15:01,400 --> 00:15:03,800
Speaker 1: you know. Anyway, So yeah, I'm sure there's a lot

308
00:15:03,840 --> 00:15:06,000
Speaker 1: of Packer fans. I want to see Patrick Mahomes, But

309
00:15:06,480 --> 00:15:08,560
Speaker 1: as my brother in law made me wear last week,

310
00:15:08,960 --> 00:15:11,560
Speaker 1: I mean, Matt Moore. If there's any silver lining to

311
00:15:11,640 --> 00:15:14,160
Speaker 1: what Kansas City did against Green Bay's defenses that Matt

312
00:15:14,200 --> 00:15:16,760
Speaker 1: Moore looked fine, looked like he can handle this thing.

313
00:15:17,440 --> 00:15:19,400
Speaker 1: We'll see what the Minnesota Vikings are able to come

314
00:15:19,440 --> 00:15:22,480
Speaker 1: up with. But the big challenge I think for Minnesota

315
00:15:22,480 --> 00:15:24,200
Speaker 1: in this game is they have a lot of experience.

316
00:15:24,240 --> 00:15:27,480
Speaker 1: How does that match up with Kansas City speed because

317
00:15:27,520 --> 00:15:29,400
Speaker 1: there's a lot of it in this whole week is

318
00:15:29,480 --> 00:15:31,600
Speaker 1: very interesting because you were just talking about why this

319
00:15:31,640 --> 00:15:34,560
Speaker 1: game matters so much for green for you know, almost

320
00:15:34,600 --> 00:15:37,720
Speaker 1: at San Diego the Chargers on Sunday. I've been struggling

321
00:15:37,760 --> 00:15:40,840
Speaker 1: with that all week by because if you win in

322
00:15:41,120 --> 00:15:45,840
Speaker 1: Minnesota beats Kansas City, if if Oakland you know, comes through,

323
00:15:46,360 --> 00:15:49,440
Speaker 1: or you know, if Goldland gets beat by Detroit, however

324
00:15:49,480 --> 00:15:53,120
Speaker 1: this puzzle shuffles out, the Charges could be right back

325
00:15:53,120 --> 00:15:57,640
Speaker 1: in this race. So for Kansas City, there's an urgency

326
00:15:57,680 --> 00:15:59,760
Speaker 1: there because it's like you want to be able to

327
00:15:59,760 --> 00:16:02,120
Speaker 1: main tame this lead over. I think what a lot

328
00:16:02,160 --> 00:16:05,840
Speaker 1: of people expected going into the season to be relative,

329
00:16:06,160 --> 00:16:08,720
Speaker 1: you know, a bottom feeder in Oakland with all the

330
00:16:08,960 --> 00:16:10,840
Speaker 1: stuff they had going on there in a team in

331
00:16:10,920 --> 00:16:12,680
Speaker 1: Kansas City that you kind of had their numbers. So

332
00:16:13,640 --> 00:16:16,160
Speaker 1: this is a very important week for the NFC North

333
00:16:16,640 --> 00:16:18,600
Speaker 1: and for that a f C West in which teams

334
00:16:18,600 --> 00:16:22,440
Speaker 1: could prevail and in what the byproduct and meaning of

335
00:16:22,440 --> 00:16:25,080
Speaker 1: those games could be. Yeah, well you mentioned Oakland is

336
00:16:25,160 --> 00:16:29,520
Speaker 1: taking on the Detroit Lions. The Chicago Bears talk about

337
00:16:29,600 --> 00:16:32,400
Speaker 1: heading into a gut check type of game. Here they

338
00:16:32,480 --> 00:16:36,240
Speaker 1: go to Philadelphia. The Eagles coming off of a big

339
00:16:36,240 --> 00:16:39,120
Speaker 1: win on the road at Buffalo, a Buffalo team that

340
00:16:39,160 --> 00:16:42,520
Speaker 1: had only lost one game until last week. The Eagles

341
00:16:42,560 --> 00:16:45,000
Speaker 1: get themselves back to five hundred at the midway point

342
00:16:45,000 --> 00:16:48,480
Speaker 1: at four and four, they're playing at home, and again

343
00:16:49,440 --> 00:16:52,000
Speaker 1: I'm sure the Eagles are looking at that win over

344
00:16:52,040 --> 00:16:55,000
Speaker 1: Buffalo as this is our takeoff moment. This is where

345
00:16:55,360 --> 00:16:58,280
Speaker 1: we start to go. And the Bears are up against it.

346
00:16:58,320 --> 00:17:00,240
Speaker 1: Here there are three and four. They see where the

347
00:17:00,320 --> 00:17:02,720
Speaker 1: Vikings are, they see where the Packers are, and the

348
00:17:02,760 --> 00:17:05,840
Speaker 1: Bears are trying to get to that even four and

349
00:17:05,920 --> 00:17:09,440
Speaker 1: for that level spot halfway through their season to see

350
00:17:09,440 --> 00:17:11,520
Speaker 1: where it goes. This is what I love about. Uh,

351
00:17:12,280 --> 00:17:16,199
Speaker 1: the f C East right now. Um Philadelphia, who just

352
00:17:16,280 --> 00:17:19,040
Speaker 1: everything's been going wrong for them. Uh, they go up

353
00:17:19,080 --> 00:17:22,359
Speaker 1: against Buffalo and basically take it to the Bills. For

354
00:17:22,400 --> 00:17:24,479
Speaker 1: the most part. It kind of reminded me like when

355
00:17:24,520 --> 00:17:27,720
Speaker 1: you get like those middling sort of SEC teams and

356
00:17:27,760 --> 00:17:29,480
Speaker 1: they have to take on like I don't know, one

357
00:17:29,480 --> 00:17:32,600
Speaker 1: of the Top and the Sun Belt or something like that,

358
00:17:33,119 --> 00:17:34,679
Speaker 1: and they just they just take it to them. They

359
00:17:34,720 --> 00:17:38,239
Speaker 1: get their victory. I think Philadelphia reminded everybody, even though

360
00:17:38,280 --> 00:17:40,159
Speaker 1: they've been very up and down, and they got it.

361
00:17:40,280 --> 00:17:42,280
Speaker 1: If they're gonna make a playoff run here, they have

362
00:17:42,440 --> 00:17:44,320
Speaker 1: to be able to find some kind of winning streak.

363
00:17:44,359 --> 00:17:46,880
Speaker 1: They can't be, you know, matching win for loss. Yeah,

364
00:17:46,880 --> 00:17:48,600
Speaker 1: you're not going to make the playoffs in the NFC

365
00:17:48,680 --> 00:17:51,200
Speaker 1: at nine and seven. I just don't see that happening

366
00:17:51,240 --> 00:17:52,960
Speaker 1: the way things are going right now. Yeah. So, I

367
00:17:53,000 --> 00:17:55,160
Speaker 1: mean this is a huge game for them. I mean,

368
00:17:55,520 --> 00:17:59,440
Speaker 1: with where Chicago season is headed, the issues that they're

369
00:17:59,440 --> 00:18:03,160
Speaker 1: having um, and I think the way that Philadelphia defends

370
00:18:03,200 --> 00:18:06,040
Speaker 1: the run. Even though David Montgomery had that big game

371
00:18:06,119 --> 00:18:07,600
Speaker 1: last week, I look at this as a matchup that

372
00:18:07,600 --> 00:18:11,160
Speaker 1: Philadelphia should win, and they really definitely need to win

373
00:18:11,560 --> 00:18:13,920
Speaker 1: if they're going to actually keep themselves in the conversation,

374
00:18:13,960 --> 00:18:15,879
Speaker 1: you're not only just for playoff spots or being in

375
00:18:15,880 --> 00:18:17,560
Speaker 1: the lead of the division or any of those kind

376
00:18:17,600 --> 00:18:19,879
Speaker 1: of things, just to show that, okay, we're still a

377
00:18:19,960 --> 00:18:24,000
Speaker 1: championship type contender here we weren't, you know, sort of

378
00:18:24,040 --> 00:18:27,960
Speaker 1: that that spark, that that flash in the pan that

379
00:18:28,040 --> 00:18:30,600
Speaker 1: we can actually be a team that rises above. And

380
00:18:30,720 --> 00:18:33,200
Speaker 1: for Chicago, I mean, this is the ultimate gut check

381
00:18:33,280 --> 00:18:36,080
Speaker 1: because that, by by all accounts, was there. That's the

382
00:18:36,080 --> 00:18:40,159
Speaker 1: most demoralizing loss of their season so far. Now you've

383
00:18:40,160 --> 00:18:43,600
Speaker 1: got to go into you know, Lincoln Financial and try

384
00:18:43,680 --> 00:18:45,520
Speaker 1: to you know, turn the course of your season. Yeah. Well,

385
00:18:45,520 --> 00:18:48,560
Speaker 1: it's a rematch of the NFC wild Card game from

386
00:18:48,600 --> 00:18:52,159
Speaker 1: a year ago in the other stadium, and it's just

387
00:18:52,280 --> 00:18:56,000
Speaker 1: interesting that obviously with the miss by Cody Parkey at

388
00:18:56,040 --> 00:18:57,560
Speaker 1: the end of that game, and now the Bears are

389
00:18:57,600 --> 00:19:01,080
Speaker 1: going into this playoff rematch with their new kicker having

390
00:19:01,160 --> 00:19:03,119
Speaker 1: just missed a field goal on the last play of

391
00:19:03,119 --> 00:19:06,240
Speaker 1: the game the week before. So a lot to try

392
00:19:06,320 --> 00:19:08,360
Speaker 1: to sort out there. Anything else on the Week nine

393
00:19:08,400 --> 00:19:10,400
Speaker 1: slate you think is worth mentioning right now? I mean,

394
00:19:10,400 --> 00:19:12,760
Speaker 1: there's just a total barn burner going on in Miami

395
00:19:12,840 --> 00:19:15,920
Speaker 1: between the Jets and the Dolphins in the Adam Gaze Bowl.

396
00:19:16,119 --> 00:19:20,879
Speaker 1: Uh No, there's some great matchups here. Uh, there's this

397
00:19:21,000 --> 00:19:24,679
Speaker 1: storyline now that's developing with the Jaguars where you know

398
00:19:24,760 --> 00:19:27,040
Speaker 1: Nick Foles could potention to be back here soon. Yeah,

399
00:19:27,160 --> 00:19:30,480
Speaker 1: Gardner Minshew has been not only a really good quarterback,

400
00:19:30,520 --> 00:19:31,960
Speaker 1: but as I was looking at one of the things

401
00:19:31,960 --> 00:19:34,800
Speaker 1: that ESPN brought up, I mean, he's been one of

402
00:19:34,840 --> 00:19:37,520
Speaker 1: the top rookies so far this season. You can make

403
00:19:37,520 --> 00:19:39,359
Speaker 1: an argument he's had a better rookie season at this

404
00:19:39,400 --> 00:19:42,720
Speaker 1: point than Kyler Murray. So they're gonna have to make

405
00:19:42,760 --> 00:19:44,520
Speaker 1: a decision there, and they have a tough opponent coming

406
00:19:44,560 --> 00:19:48,359
Speaker 1: in in the Houston Texans. But realistically, Mike, we've talked

407
00:19:48,400 --> 00:19:50,720
Speaker 1: weekend and week out, We've written about it numerous times,

408
00:19:50,880 --> 00:19:53,600
Speaker 1: the New England Patriots have not been tested. Well, now

409
00:19:53,640 --> 00:19:56,680
Speaker 1: they get tested. They go into Baltimore, they take on

410
00:19:56,680 --> 00:19:59,720
Speaker 1: that defense. First off, Tom Brady, who has been you know,

411
00:19:59,760 --> 00:20:01,960
Speaker 1: ky Eve in this game manager sort of role. Now,

412
00:20:02,760 --> 00:20:07,280
Speaker 1: can he get this offense moving and can that New

413
00:20:07,800 --> 00:20:10,959
Speaker 1: England Patriots defense that has been so stout step up

414
00:20:10,960 --> 00:20:13,719
Speaker 1: to the challenge of Lamar Jackson. We're probably not going

415
00:20:13,760 --> 00:20:16,080
Speaker 1: to be able to watch this game. Unfortunately. I wish

416
00:20:16,119 --> 00:20:18,359
Speaker 1: I could because I think it's going to be a

417
00:20:18,440 --> 00:20:21,800
Speaker 1: really interesting contrast in football styles and seeing if the

418
00:20:21,840 --> 00:20:27,200
Speaker 1: way that the Baltimore Ravens play right now, run heavy, athletic,

419
00:20:27,640 --> 00:20:31,200
Speaker 1: solid special teams, a sneaky good defense, if that can

420
00:20:31,240 --> 00:20:33,560
Speaker 1: match up with the very best in the FC right now. Yeah,

421
00:20:33,560 --> 00:20:36,560
Speaker 1: and a lot of people looking at that game Patriots

422
00:20:36,600 --> 00:20:40,520
Speaker 1: against the Ravens as a potential preview of a of

423
00:20:40,640 --> 00:20:44,920
Speaker 1: a January rematch between between those two teams down the roads.

424
00:20:45,080 --> 00:20:46,680
Speaker 1: You can make a case, Mike, if you go back

425
00:20:46,720 --> 00:20:50,040
Speaker 1: to last December, that there's no hotter team in football

426
00:20:50,119 --> 00:20:53,120
Speaker 1: than the Baltimore Ravens, even though you know San Francisco

427
00:20:53,160 --> 00:20:54,480
Speaker 1: has been on the run they've been on this season

428
00:20:54,520 --> 00:20:57,000
Speaker 1: if you count that, I mean the Ravens had a

429
00:20:57,119 --> 00:20:59,679
Speaker 1: run the table esque kind of run at the end

430
00:20:59,680 --> 00:21:02,120
Speaker 1: of last season. They did, would the only interruption being

431
00:21:02,160 --> 00:21:05,159
Speaker 1: that loss in overtime to Kansas City. If you partner

432
00:21:05,240 --> 00:21:06,800
Speaker 1: that together with this way that they got off to

433
00:21:06,840 --> 00:21:09,120
Speaker 1: this season, I mean you got to tip your captain

434
00:21:09,200 --> 00:21:12,080
Speaker 1: John Harbob, because they they things weren't looking good there

435
00:21:12,119 --> 00:21:15,520
Speaker 1: for a minute, but they got sort of this influx

436
00:21:15,600 --> 00:21:18,320
Speaker 1: of momentum and swagger from that move to to Lamar

437
00:21:18,400 --> 00:21:20,639
Speaker 1: Jackson and here we are. I think they're one of

438
00:21:20,680 --> 00:21:23,880
Speaker 1: those teams that when you're talking about just a regular

439
00:21:24,000 --> 00:21:28,600
Speaker 1: seven day, one week preparation, they're a preparation challenge because

440
00:21:28,680 --> 00:21:32,439
Speaker 1: Lamar Jackson and the way that offense runs is just

441
00:21:32,480 --> 00:21:35,720
Speaker 1: so different. It's so it's so non traditional for from

442
00:21:35,760 --> 00:21:39,680
Speaker 1: what en NFL football is and and it is. It's

443
00:21:39,720 --> 00:21:42,080
Speaker 1: it's going to be a great matchup because the Patriots

444
00:21:42,440 --> 00:21:45,119
Speaker 1: statistically and what we've seen on the field, regardless of

445
00:21:45,119 --> 00:21:49,080
Speaker 1: who their opponents have been, they've been uh an incredibly

446
00:21:49,160 --> 00:21:52,159
Speaker 1: stout defense, very very difficult for anybody's score. And I

447
00:21:52,200 --> 00:21:55,159
Speaker 1: would make an argument to Mike that the Baltimore Ravens,

448
00:21:55,160 --> 00:21:57,560
Speaker 1: more than maybe any other team in the NFL right now,

449
00:21:57,920 --> 00:22:00,480
Speaker 1: are as dangerous if they end up thing a buy

450
00:22:01,200 --> 00:22:03,560
Speaker 1: if you give John Harbaugh that extra week to work

451
00:22:03,600 --> 00:22:06,040
Speaker 1: with to prepare and then teams having to focus on

452
00:22:06,080 --> 00:22:08,960
Speaker 1: a wild card opponent and then taking the Ravens, which

453
00:22:09,000 --> 00:22:11,800
Speaker 1: is how different they are and how different they play.

454
00:22:11,880 --> 00:22:13,520
Speaker 1: I think one of the things that worked against them

455
00:22:13,600 --> 00:22:15,720
Speaker 1: was working into that hole at the beginning of last season,

456
00:22:15,760 --> 00:22:17,359
Speaker 1: having to make a run to get a wild card

457
00:22:17,400 --> 00:22:20,120
Speaker 1: spot that ultimately is I think why their their car

458
00:22:20,200 --> 00:22:22,240
Speaker 1: ran out of gas. But man, if they can be

459
00:22:22,280 --> 00:22:24,600
Speaker 1: in position, I'm sure you're gonna have just might as well.

460
00:22:24,600 --> 00:22:27,160
Speaker 1: Sharpie in you know, the Patriots for one of those

461
00:22:27,200 --> 00:22:29,680
Speaker 1: two buys in the a f C. But the Ravens

462
00:22:29,800 --> 00:22:31,920
Speaker 1: and then the where Kansas City's at right now, Ravens

463
00:22:31,920 --> 00:22:33,840
Speaker 1: can make a real run at at being that number
