1
00:00:04,880 --> 00:00:08,760
Speaker 1: Welcome to NFL Daily. We're a thousand yards of offense

2
00:00:09,360 --> 00:00:12,559
Speaker 1: is light work. I'm Greg Rosenthal here in the Chris

3
00:00:12,560 --> 00:00:18,400
Speaker 1: Wesleyan podcast studio after an important Week fifteen slate with

4
00:00:18,480 --> 00:00:22,520
Speaker 1: my friend Patrick Clayban. Nick Shook is in Cleveland and

5
00:00:22,680 --> 00:00:26,040
Speaker 1: so much felt like it was decided on this Sunday

6
00:00:26,040 --> 00:00:28,400
Speaker 1: that I'm not wasting any time. We are going right

7
00:00:28,720 --> 00:00:31,800
Speaker 1: to Detroit where it was a massive effort by those Bills.

8
00:00:31,920 --> 00:00:33,880
Speaker 2: One receiver to the left, three to the right, Cook

9
00:00:33,920 --> 00:00:35,720
Speaker 2: to the right of Allen on the shotgun, play clock

10
00:00:35,800 --> 00:00:38,080
Speaker 2: down to seven, the other hand off to Cook through

11
00:00:38,120 --> 00:00:40,160
Speaker 2: a Holt darts to the middle of the field thirty

12
00:00:40,320 --> 00:00:42,120
Speaker 2: twenty five twenty still.

13
00:00:41,880 --> 00:00:45,199
Speaker 3: On his feet, ten five, and Cook is in for

14
00:00:45,400 --> 00:00:46,320
Speaker 3: the touchdown.

15
00:00:46,720 --> 00:00:51,120
Speaker 4: His second rushing touchdown of the game goes forty one yards.

16
00:00:52,600 --> 00:00:54,840
Speaker 1: That was James Cook on the ground, one of his

17
00:00:55,520 --> 00:00:59,240
Speaker 1: two rushing touchdowns. Josh Allen added another couple on the ground,

18
00:00:59,280 --> 00:01:03,280
Speaker 1: another couple through the air, and the Bills won forty

19
00:01:03,440 --> 00:01:07,360
Speaker 1: eight to forty two in a game that could have

20
00:01:07,680 --> 00:01:13,880
Speaker 1: major repercussions with both home field advantage races. Nick Shook,

21
00:01:13,920 --> 00:01:17,679
Speaker 1: you watched this game closely, and I just thought from

22
00:01:17,720 --> 00:01:21,640
Speaker 1: the very first drive. Josh Allen said, that game that

23
00:01:21,720 --> 00:01:25,000
Speaker 1: I had against the Rams, I was just getting warmed up.

24
00:01:25,040 --> 00:01:25,800
Speaker 5: He did it.

25
00:01:25,760 --> 00:01:28,400
Speaker 1: Again, And as much as the Lions tried to like

26
00:01:28,720 --> 00:01:29,920
Speaker 1: make this a game, it was.

27
00:01:29,920 --> 00:01:31,640
Speaker 5: Never really a game.

28
00:01:31,760 --> 00:01:34,480
Speaker 1: I can't believe that the Bills just ran through the

29
00:01:34,520 --> 00:01:35,240
Speaker 1: Lions like that.

30
00:01:36,000 --> 00:01:38,160
Speaker 6: Yeah, consider that game in La last week to be

31
00:01:38,200 --> 00:01:40,440
Speaker 6: the prelude to what we saw from the Bills today,

32
00:01:40,440 --> 00:01:42,479
Speaker 6: which was an offensive explosion.

33
00:01:42,480 --> 00:01:44,080
Speaker 7: I characterize it like this in the What we Learned

34
00:01:44,120 --> 00:01:45,640
Speaker 7: what you can find in NFL dot com.

35
00:01:45,920 --> 00:01:48,920
Speaker 6: The Bills rolled into Detroit and open palm smacked the

36
00:01:48,960 --> 00:01:50,240
Speaker 6: Lions in the mouth twice.

37
00:01:50,440 --> 00:01:51,240
Speaker 5: They said, we don't care.

38
00:01:51,360 --> 00:01:52,120
Speaker 7: This is Ford Field.

39
00:01:52,160 --> 00:01:54,520
Speaker 6: We don't catch you wearing your snazzy black uniforms that

40
00:01:54,560 --> 00:01:57,240
Speaker 6: your fans are raucous and it's hostile here. We're coming

41
00:01:57,280 --> 00:01:59,000
Speaker 6: in here and making a statement, which is that the

42
00:01:59,000 --> 00:02:01,160
Speaker 6: points that we put up last week just a precursor

43
00:02:01,160 --> 00:02:02,960
Speaker 6: to what we're about to do to you today. I

44
00:02:03,000 --> 00:02:05,840
Speaker 6: felt like they commanded this game from their first two drives.

45
00:02:06,080 --> 00:02:09,040
Speaker 6: They went two straight touchdown drives. They made a statement

46
00:02:09,080 --> 00:02:11,160
Speaker 6: from the beginning and then rolled all the way to

47
00:02:11,160 --> 00:02:14,200
Speaker 6: the end. And it was also an unfortunate sign that

48
00:02:14,280 --> 00:02:16,840
Speaker 6: the Detroit defense that has taken so many hits on

49
00:02:16,840 --> 00:02:20,640
Speaker 6: the injury front may be a serious concern for the Lions,

50
00:02:20,639 --> 00:02:23,360
Speaker 6: who are among the NFC favorites. But hoole, buddy, that

51
00:02:23,400 --> 00:02:25,240
Speaker 6: looks like a weakness after what happened today.

52
00:02:25,320 --> 00:02:27,240
Speaker 5: Yeah, we'll get to that in a second.

53
00:02:27,240 --> 00:02:29,560
Speaker 1: But I thought the first drive of the game was

54
00:02:29,600 --> 00:02:31,880
Speaker 1: so telling, Like the Lions went three and out, And

55
00:02:31,880 --> 00:02:34,160
Speaker 1: it's hard to fault the Lions offense too much on

56
00:02:34,200 --> 00:02:36,320
Speaker 1: a day where they wind up with four hundred and

57
00:02:36,360 --> 00:02:39,320
Speaker 1: twenty one yards or rather five hundred and twenty one

58
00:02:39,400 --> 00:02:42,240
Speaker 1: yards and forty two points. But they punted their first

59
00:02:42,240 --> 00:02:47,280
Speaker 1: two possessions, and on the bills first possession, Josh Allen

60
00:02:47,400 --> 00:02:50,840
Speaker 1: had that absolutely ridiculous throw up the sideline to Tyd

61
00:02:50,919 --> 00:02:54,400
Speaker 1: Johnson and then the even more ridiculous throw over the

62
00:02:54,440 --> 00:02:58,600
Speaker 1: middle of the field where he's just evading defenders and improvising,

63
00:02:58,720 --> 00:03:00,480
Speaker 1: And it was that kind of day for him that

64
00:03:01,400 --> 00:03:04,000
Speaker 1: I just think he's playing quarterback at a level that

65
00:03:04,080 --> 00:03:06,519
Speaker 1: I've practically never seen out of a quarterback, except maybe

66
00:03:06,520 --> 00:03:09,079
Speaker 1: from Josh Allen in the twenty twenty two playoffs. Maybe

67
00:03:09,160 --> 00:03:11,120
Speaker 1: maybe this time he gets to finish it off because

68
00:03:11,120 --> 00:03:13,280
Speaker 1: it was just like, what can you do about those plays?

69
00:03:13,280 --> 00:03:13,960
Speaker 5: You can't do anything?

70
00:03:14,000 --> 00:03:16,000
Speaker 8: Well, yeah, there's no spot on the field. It's safe.

71
00:03:16,880 --> 00:03:19,079
Speaker 8: Josh Allen, We've seen it so many times. Roll into

72
00:03:19,160 --> 00:03:21,639
Speaker 8: his right, stops on the right sideline and fires a

73
00:03:21,680 --> 00:03:25,480
Speaker 8: ball to Ty Johnson. We've seen them get extra yards

74
00:03:25,520 --> 00:03:27,359
Speaker 8: I think three or four times this season on late

75
00:03:27,440 --> 00:03:30,000
Speaker 8: hits on Josh Allen. He got an and one on

76
00:03:30,080 --> 00:03:33,200
Speaker 8: a ball down the sideline to Keon Coleman today as well.

77
00:03:33,240 --> 00:03:35,480
Speaker 8: And then you factor in his ability to run, and

78
00:03:35,520 --> 00:03:39,119
Speaker 8: it's almost, especially for a very hurt defense, indefensible. Where

79
00:03:39,120 --> 00:03:41,160
Speaker 8: we look the long plays on this game, in some

80
00:03:41,200 --> 00:03:42,920
Speaker 8: of the air yards, he had a fifty air yard

81
00:03:42,960 --> 00:03:46,200
Speaker 8: pass to Keon Coleman, twenty five to Ty Johnson who

82
00:03:46,240 --> 00:03:48,960
Speaker 8: went over one hundred and fifteen yards receiving. Like with

83
00:03:49,040 --> 00:03:52,480
Speaker 8: the second half had barely begun, the former third string

84
00:03:52,600 --> 00:03:54,400
Speaker 8: Jets running back comes over and all of a sudden,

85
00:03:54,440 --> 00:03:56,880
Speaker 8: he's all world with the Bills. They're at a twenty

86
00:03:56,880 --> 00:04:00,160
Speaker 8: four air yard pass the Dalton Kinkaid for twenty nine yards.

87
00:04:00,160 --> 00:04:02,640
Speaker 8: Just like Jared Golf was very good in this game,

88
00:04:03,000 --> 00:04:05,400
Speaker 8: exceedingly good. Didn't even come close to how good.

89
00:04:05,320 --> 00:04:07,520
Speaker 1: Knocked a lot of teams out of the Fantasy playoffs,

90
00:04:07,560 --> 00:04:10,320
Speaker 1: like yours, truly, Jared Goff, you know, just trying to

91
00:04:10,360 --> 00:04:14,000
Speaker 1: catch up in this game. But Alec got X rays

92
00:04:14,040 --> 00:04:16,919
Speaker 1: after the game. He felt a little awkwardly on a

93
00:04:17,000 --> 00:04:19,200
Speaker 1: late hit. I didn't notice that live. He said it

94
00:04:19,240 --> 00:04:21,040
Speaker 1: was just precautionary and that he's going to be fine.

95
00:04:21,560 --> 00:04:24,200
Speaker 1: He did finish the game out. But what strikes me

96
00:04:24,560 --> 00:04:27,880
Speaker 1: shook is the Lions had extra rest coming into this game,

97
00:04:28,400 --> 00:04:32,320
Speaker 1: and yet the Bills were the one responding after a loss.

98
00:04:32,480 --> 00:04:35,599
Speaker 1: They're the first team since the merger, basically in modern

99
00:04:35,720 --> 00:04:39,120
Speaker 1: NFL history to go five touchdowns at least, no turnovers,

100
00:04:39,200 --> 00:04:43,840
Speaker 1: no sacks. Then in three straight games they mashed them.

101
00:04:43,839 --> 00:04:46,919
Speaker 1: And that's what stands out to me. The injuries, you

102
00:04:46,920 --> 00:04:49,479
Speaker 1: can get into him shook because they're really important. But

103
00:04:49,520 --> 00:04:51,920
Speaker 1: the Bills rushed for one hundred and ninety seven yards

104
00:04:52,160 --> 00:04:54,359
Speaker 1: and the Lions rushed for forty eight, and that is

105
00:04:54,520 --> 00:04:57,800
Speaker 1: just a team kind of taking the Lions identity away

106
00:04:57,800 --> 00:04:58,279
Speaker 1: from them.

107
00:04:58,680 --> 00:05:00,760
Speaker 6: Yeah, that was what Stott's the most was just that

108
00:05:00,880 --> 00:05:02,880
Speaker 6: how easy it was for the Bills to do whatever

109
00:05:02,920 --> 00:05:04,960
Speaker 6: they wanted and we've talked about this at length in

110
00:05:05,040 --> 00:05:06,719
Speaker 6: previous weeks about how the Bills can beat you in

111
00:05:06,720 --> 00:05:09,080
Speaker 6: so many different ways. Every way they tried to beat

112
00:05:09,080 --> 00:05:12,200
Speaker 6: the Lions on Sunday they did it was passing. Guys

113
00:05:12,200 --> 00:05:14,960
Speaker 6: were wide open. They did not contain Josh Allen in

114
00:05:15,000 --> 00:05:16,800
Speaker 6: the pocket. He was free to roam. And we know

115
00:05:16,839 --> 00:05:18,720
Speaker 6: when he's roaming. He's the most dangerous player in the

116
00:05:18,800 --> 00:05:21,200
Speaker 6: NFL not named Lamar Jackson. It might even be just

117
00:05:21,279 --> 00:05:24,080
Speaker 6: as if not more dangerous. He's finding guys downfield, he's

118
00:05:24,080 --> 00:05:26,720
Speaker 6: extending plays, he's running for first downs, he's converting a

119
00:05:26,760 --> 00:05:28,680
Speaker 6: fourth and two because of a well schemed play that

120
00:05:28,720 --> 00:05:30,919
Speaker 6: gets Tidy Johnson on a natural rub down the sideline

121
00:05:30,960 --> 00:05:33,640
Speaker 6: to keep that drive going. They basically took Dan Campbell's

122
00:05:33,680 --> 00:05:35,520
Speaker 6: identity of going forward on fourth and two and said,

123
00:05:35,560 --> 00:05:36,360
Speaker 6: now we're gonna do that too.

124
00:05:36,480 --> 00:05:37,760
Speaker 7: We're gonna do it better than you.

125
00:05:38,000 --> 00:05:39,080
Speaker 5: That's the new McDermott.

126
00:05:39,080 --> 00:05:41,200
Speaker 1: By way, Hey, let's go like that is kind of

127
00:05:41,240 --> 00:05:44,440
Speaker 1: a new version of Sean McDermott. People are always saying like, oh,

128
00:05:44,760 --> 00:05:46,240
Speaker 1: McDermott's going to get them in the end, but they

129
00:05:46,240 --> 00:05:47,040
Speaker 1: have been more aggressive.

130
00:05:47,040 --> 00:05:47,760
Speaker 5: Don't you think shook.

131
00:05:48,320 --> 00:05:49,120
Speaker 7: Yeah. Absolutely.

132
00:05:49,160 --> 00:05:50,719
Speaker 6: I think that this is their new identity, and Joe

133
00:05:50,720 --> 00:05:53,040
Speaker 6: Brady's doing a masterful job leading this offense. It kind

134
00:05:53,040 --> 00:05:55,240
Speaker 6: of blows my mind that they let this offense linger

135
00:05:55,279 --> 00:05:57,960
Speaker 6: in like the in between area in purgatory under Ken

136
00:05:58,000 --> 00:05:59,920
Speaker 6: Dorsey for as long as they did before going to Joe,

137
00:06:00,279 --> 00:06:02,200
Speaker 6: because now you're seeing the true potential of it. I mean,

138
00:06:02,279 --> 00:06:04,760
Speaker 6: James Cooko's for one hundred and five yards on fourteen carries,

139
00:06:04,760 --> 00:06:06,760
Speaker 6: two touchdowns, So the Lions couldn't stop the run, they

140
00:06:06,760 --> 00:06:09,039
Speaker 6: couldn't contain Josh Allen. Anything that Bills wanted to do,

141
00:06:09,080 --> 00:06:10,760
Speaker 6: they did. I got more numbers for you too, because

142
00:06:10,800 --> 00:06:12,039
Speaker 6: you know me, big numbers guy.

143
00:06:12,279 --> 00:06:12,600
Speaker 9: All Right.

144
00:06:12,680 --> 00:06:14,719
Speaker 6: So I'm looking down the Bills schedule and I'm like,

145
00:06:14,720 --> 00:06:16,640
Speaker 6: they've put up a lot of points recently. They haven't

146
00:06:16,640 --> 00:06:19,960
Speaker 6: finished a game below thirty points since Week six. They've

147
00:06:19,960 --> 00:06:23,120
Speaker 6: scored thirty plus points in eight consecutive games, which ties

148
00:06:23,160 --> 00:06:25,599
Speaker 6: for the longest streak in a single season in NFL

149
00:06:25,720 --> 00:06:28,440
Speaker 6: history with the twenty thirteen Broncos, twenty ten Patriots, two

150
00:06:28,680 --> 00:06:31,560
Speaker 6: and seven Patriots, and two thousand Rams. Each of those

151
00:06:31,640 --> 00:06:35,760
Speaker 6: teams featured a winner of NFL MVP, which really bolsters

152
00:06:35,800 --> 00:06:38,840
Speaker 6: Josh Allen's case for MVP. And like you said that,

153
00:06:38,960 --> 00:06:40,719
Speaker 6: the first team since the merger to have five touchdowns,

154
00:06:40,760 --> 00:06:43,760
Speaker 6: zero giveaway, zero sacks in three consecutive games, all of

155
00:06:43,800 --> 00:06:47,200
Speaker 6: this to beat a Lions team that everybody feared that

156
00:06:47,320 --> 00:06:50,320
Speaker 6: suddenly can't get a stop on defense and wasted. Jared

157
00:06:50,360 --> 00:06:53,640
Speaker 6: Goff's performance, which is four hundred plus passing yards, five

158
00:06:53,680 --> 00:06:56,920
Speaker 6: plus passing touchdowns, zero interceptions, first player to do all

159
00:06:56,920 --> 00:07:00,680
Speaker 6: of that and lose since nineteen fifty. That's where the

160
00:07:00,680 --> 00:07:02,600
Speaker 6: concern is for the Lions. And that's how good these

161
00:07:02,600 --> 00:07:03,120
Speaker 6: Bills are.

162
00:07:03,520 --> 00:07:05,720
Speaker 1: Remember the first part of the season when we were like,

163
00:07:05,720 --> 00:07:08,239
Speaker 1: what happened to scoring? Yeah, come, there's no three hundred

164
00:07:08,320 --> 00:07:08,920
Speaker 1: yard quarterback.

165
00:07:09,000 --> 00:07:13,320
Speaker 8: Yeah, there's just dying right cover two and everything we had.

166
00:07:13,320 --> 00:07:15,520
Speaker 8: Tom Brady sounded like an old man, like as if

167
00:07:15,520 --> 00:07:17,560
Speaker 8: he played seven hundred and forty four years ago.

168
00:07:17,800 --> 00:07:20,120
Speaker 9: He's like, oh, yeah, the game. You know, these quarterbacks

169
00:07:20,120 --> 00:07:20,600
Speaker 9: are coming in.

170
00:07:20,960 --> 00:07:24,480
Speaker 8: Greg Olsen talking about guys under center, you know, calculator game.

171
00:07:24,560 --> 00:07:27,040
Speaker 1: Also kickers who were infallible back then and are very

172
00:07:27,120 --> 00:07:30,560
Speaker 1: much not now now. You mentioned the defensive injuries. After

173
00:07:30,600 --> 00:07:35,880
Speaker 1: the game, Dan Campbell announced that Carlton Davis an Alie

174
00:07:35,920 --> 00:07:41,080
Speaker 1: McNeil's two injuries could potentially be season ending. Those injuries

175
00:07:41,120 --> 00:07:43,680
Speaker 1: are on top of what they already came into the

176
00:07:43,720 --> 00:07:46,040
Speaker 1: game with. Now, they did get some defensive linemen back,

177
00:07:46,480 --> 00:07:49,960
Speaker 1: and yet their defensive line versus the Bill's offensive line

178
00:07:50,000 --> 00:07:52,480
Speaker 1: seemed like the mismatch of the game that really decided.

179
00:07:52,560 --> 00:07:56,400
Speaker 1: Khalil Dorsey, a backup cornerback who's one of their replacement players,

180
00:07:56,400 --> 00:07:58,840
Speaker 1: also looks like he will be out for the season.

181
00:07:59,080 --> 00:08:03,600
Speaker 1: Someone asked about McNeil whether it was an acl Campbell

182
00:08:03,640 --> 00:08:09,080
Speaker 1: wouldn't answer that. He wouldn't make any excuses, though, when

183
00:08:09,120 --> 00:08:11,800
Speaker 1: asked about all the injuries, how much was this just a.

184
00:08:11,880 --> 00:08:14,000
Speaker 10: Case of the injuries catching up to the defense and

185
00:08:14,080 --> 00:08:15,360
Speaker 10: playing really good quarterble.

186
00:08:15,520 --> 00:08:18,080
Speaker 9: No, I'm not buying it. I'm not. I don't buy it.

187
00:08:18,720 --> 00:08:21,600
Speaker 9: You know, we we can be better, We should have

188
00:08:21,640 --> 00:08:23,840
Speaker 9: been better. We know how good they are. But that

189
00:08:23,960 --> 00:08:25,840
Speaker 9: was that team was more urgent than us today.

190
00:08:25,840 --> 00:08:28,480
Speaker 1: Overall, maybe the weight of the season is catching up

191
00:08:28,520 --> 00:08:31,040
Speaker 1: a little bit to the Lions. But they are twelve

192
00:08:31,040 --> 00:08:33,160
Speaker 1: and two, and I think there's gonna be so much

193
00:08:33,200 --> 00:08:36,160
Speaker 1: concern about them this year and worrying about the point

194
00:08:36,200 --> 00:08:37,120
Speaker 1: and zero return.

195
00:08:36,880 --> 00:08:37,960
Speaker 5: With these injuries.

196
00:08:38,040 --> 00:08:40,600
Speaker 1: Carlton Davis has a jaw injury and for it to

197
00:08:40,640 --> 00:08:44,439
Speaker 1: possibly the end season ending is very worrisome. I do

198
00:08:44,480 --> 00:08:46,800
Speaker 1: think you saw with this offense today, like if they

199
00:08:47,960 --> 00:08:50,199
Speaker 1: I'm not I'm not counting them out, but it's gonna

200
00:08:50,200 --> 00:08:52,280
Speaker 1: be much harder if they don't win the division. And

201
00:08:52,320 --> 00:08:54,800
Speaker 1: now that game coming up against the Vikings is just

202
00:08:54,880 --> 00:08:56,079
Speaker 1: absolutely so massive.

203
00:08:56,600 --> 00:08:58,400
Speaker 6: Yeah, they didn't have room to really slip up because

204
00:08:58,400 --> 00:09:00,560
Speaker 6: of how tight the NFC North is. That kind of

205
00:09:00,559 --> 00:09:03,400
Speaker 6: actually makes me question what everybody's going to talk about

206
00:09:03,400 --> 00:09:05,480
Speaker 6: for the next three days on sports talk radio and TV,

207
00:09:06,000 --> 00:09:07,679
Speaker 6: which is why Dan Campbell went for an on si

208
00:09:07,760 --> 00:09:10,000
Speaker 6: kick with twelve thus left in the fourth quarter. I mean,

209
00:09:10,000 --> 00:09:12,240
Speaker 6: that's admitting we know we can't get a stop, we

210
00:09:12,280 --> 00:09:14,320
Speaker 6: are desperate, and we're going to on site kick it here.

211
00:09:14,360 --> 00:09:15,200
Speaker 7: It was not a good decision.

212
00:09:15,240 --> 00:09:17,720
Speaker 8: Yeah, literally the only takeaway and I'm thinking, well, heck,

213
00:09:17,760 --> 00:09:19,920
Speaker 8: maybe it works out for Dan Campbell because they scored

214
00:09:20,040 --> 00:09:22,760
Speaker 8: the very next play after Mac Collins has that kickoff

215
00:09:22,760 --> 00:09:24,760
Speaker 8: return as well, at least they didn't burn a whole

216
00:09:24,760 --> 00:09:28,160
Speaker 8: lot of clock. I really think, like, ultimately, because we're

217
00:09:28,160 --> 00:09:30,440
Speaker 8: talking about all the injuries for Detroit and I'm buying it.

218
00:09:30,480 --> 00:09:32,520
Speaker 9: Coach Campbell, I think having your.

219
00:09:32,400 --> 00:09:35,240
Speaker 8: Best players on the field definitely has an impact on

220
00:09:35,280 --> 00:09:36,439
Speaker 8: how you perform defensively.

221
00:09:36,600 --> 00:09:39,520
Speaker 9: But the Buffalo Bills that they're getting guys back.

222
00:09:40,000 --> 00:09:43,959
Speaker 8: This is forty four points a week ago forty two points.

223
00:09:44,000 --> 00:09:46,079
Speaker 8: I understand they got to win, but this is a

224
00:09:46,160 --> 00:09:48,000
Speaker 8: legitimate concern for Buffalo as well.

225
00:09:48,120 --> 00:09:48,760
Speaker 5: That's true.

226
00:09:48,800 --> 00:09:51,880
Speaker 1: Although they were sure at safety, two backups at safety

227
00:09:52,040 --> 00:09:55,400
Speaker 1: today for the Bills, that is concerning.

228
00:09:55,880 --> 00:09:57,079
Speaker 5: It's an offensive league.

229
00:09:58,200 --> 00:10:00,560
Speaker 1: I just think they can maybe plug some holes and

230
00:10:00,600 --> 00:10:03,480
Speaker 1: depending on the matchups in Detroit, I don't think it's

231
00:10:03,520 --> 00:10:04,240
Speaker 1: a death sentence.

232
00:10:04,480 --> 00:10:05,439
Speaker 5: And people are going.

233
00:10:05,440 --> 00:10:07,040
Speaker 1: To talk a lot about the on side kick they

234
00:10:07,080 --> 00:10:09,520
Speaker 1: needed to steal a possession. They almost did get the

235
00:10:09,559 --> 00:10:13,559
Speaker 1: on side kick with about twelve seconds to go, Like, yeah,

236
00:10:13,600 --> 00:10:16,079
Speaker 1: it didn't work out for them, But just as poorly

237
00:10:17,679 --> 00:10:20,320
Speaker 1: in terms of the results was when they kicked it

238
00:10:20,360 --> 00:10:22,600
Speaker 1: off the next possession and then gave up a six

239
00:10:22,720 --> 00:10:26,040
Speaker 1: minute field goal drive because time was more important than

240
00:10:26,120 --> 00:10:28,960
Speaker 1: points at that point and there was no reason to

241
00:10:29,040 --> 00:10:31,080
Speaker 1: believe that they were going to stop the Bills and

242
00:10:31,120 --> 00:10:33,199
Speaker 1: they didn't. So I think it's just getting a little,

243
00:10:33,920 --> 00:10:36,920
Speaker 1: you know, a little beside the point to focus on

244
00:10:36,920 --> 00:10:40,079
Speaker 1: the on side kick. Let's listen to one more incredible

245
00:10:40,120 --> 00:10:43,439
Speaker 1: play by Josh Allen. If I hadn't read the numbers yet,

246
00:10:43,440 --> 00:10:45,560
Speaker 1: three hundred and sixty two yards and two touchdowns through

247
00:10:45,600 --> 00:10:47,679
Speaker 1: the air, and yeah, put sixty eight on the ground

248
00:10:47,840 --> 00:10:51,000
Speaker 1: as well. This was one of his improvised plays on

249
00:10:51,040 --> 00:10:52,839
Speaker 1: a day where he held the ball in terms of

250
00:10:52,920 --> 00:10:56,240
Speaker 1: time to throw longer than he has in almost five years.

251
00:10:56,440 --> 00:10:58,640
Speaker 2: Receiver to each side, put the loan set back with

252
00:10:58,679 --> 00:11:02,400
Speaker 2: Alan unders center motion from Gilliam, Allan gonna roll to

253
00:11:02,480 --> 00:11:08,040
Speaker 2: his right, pressure coming, gets away from it, looking downfield.

254
00:11:06,679 --> 00:11:09,200
Speaker 5: Throws, He's hit as he throws, and.

255
00:11:09,120 --> 00:11:13,840
Speaker 2: It's taught by Kean Coleman at the seventeen yard line.

256
00:11:14,559 --> 00:11:16,239
Speaker 5: What a frozen rope.

257
00:11:15,960 --> 00:11:17,680
Speaker 7: From Allen who took a shot and.

258
00:11:17,720 --> 00:11:20,680
Speaker 2: It's gonna be an extra fifteen yards tacked on for

259
00:11:20,800 --> 00:11:22,199
Speaker 2: roughing the passer.

260
00:11:21,800 --> 00:11:24,360
Speaker 1: Who that was late in the first half. Tyler Bass

261
00:11:24,360 --> 00:11:28,679
Speaker 1: actually missed a gimme in that situation, or or the

262
00:11:28,679 --> 00:11:31,560
Speaker 1: Bills would have put up a fifty burger on the

263
00:11:31,679 --> 00:11:37,480
Speaker 1: NFC's number one overall seed, at least heading into to today.

264
00:11:38,360 --> 00:11:43,200
Speaker 1: Let's go to Philadelphia who saw a door being cracked.

265
00:11:43,320 --> 00:11:43,559
Speaker 11: A J.

266
00:11:43,720 --> 00:11:44,920
Speaker 5: Brown out to the far side.

267
00:11:44,920 --> 00:11:48,800
Speaker 12: Players loansome hers this time backs up, looks fires complete.

268
00:11:48,960 --> 00:11:53,040
Speaker 7: Hey J Brown and the back of the zone.

269
00:11:53,840 --> 00:11:55,640
Speaker 5: Man, fantastic.

270
00:11:55,960 --> 00:11:59,040
Speaker 9: This is a little play action to Saquon. He puts

271
00:11:59,080 --> 00:12:00,640
Speaker 9: it in there and holds it for a little bit.

272
00:12:00,760 --> 00:12:04,240
Speaker 13: Then he seems that linebacker displays on the back end,

273
00:12:04,480 --> 00:12:07,000
Speaker 13: pulls it, and he throws the strike to a jam.

274
00:12:07,760 --> 00:12:11,320
Speaker 1: That was Jalen Hurts to AJ Brown one of the

275
00:12:11,320 --> 00:12:14,439
Speaker 1: more predictable squeaky Wheel games of all time. They were

276
00:12:14,480 --> 00:12:19,440
Speaker 1: the story all week long, their relationship. Suddenly they're doing

277
00:12:19,760 --> 00:12:23,240
Speaker 1: kidding play celebrations in the middle of the field. Jalen

278
00:12:23,280 --> 00:12:26,439
Speaker 1: Hurts started this game twelve of thirteen for one hundred

279
00:12:26,440 --> 00:12:30,960
Speaker 1: and forty six yard and two passing touchdowns. The Eagles

280
00:12:31,080 --> 00:12:35,240
Speaker 1: end up cruising to a twenty seven to thirteen victory

281
00:12:35,360 --> 00:12:39,520
Speaker 1: over the Steelers in Philadelphia. And I really did think

282
00:12:40,280 --> 00:12:44,520
Speaker 1: the difference was not just the Philadelphia defense, which I'll

283
00:12:44,520 --> 00:12:48,600
Speaker 1: get to, but AJ Brown getting trusted to make difficult

284
00:12:48,679 --> 00:12:50,960
Speaker 1: catches early in this game. He ends up eight for

285
00:12:51,080 --> 00:12:53,880
Speaker 1: one to ten and a touchdown, and especially in the

286
00:12:53,880 --> 00:12:57,719
Speaker 1: first quarter, it was like all the conversation was in

287
00:12:57,800 --> 00:12:59,679
Speaker 1: Jalen Hurts his head and that he was gonna give

288
00:12:59,720 --> 00:13:02,520
Speaker 1: his guy a chance to make plays. And aj Brown

289
00:13:02,880 --> 00:13:05,800
Speaker 1: made of DeVonta Smith goes over one hundred yards too.

290
00:13:05,920 --> 00:13:07,840
Speaker 1: And even though there was a little period in the

291
00:13:07,840 --> 00:13:10,360
Speaker 1: second half where Jalen Hurts was holding on to the

292
00:13:10,360 --> 00:13:14,040
Speaker 1: ball too much, this game reminded me a little bit

293
00:13:14,080 --> 00:13:18,040
Speaker 1: of the Bills Lions game in that Philadelphia pushed him

294
00:13:18,040 --> 00:13:20,120
Speaker 1: around a little bit upfront. Their defensive line, to me,

295
00:13:20,240 --> 00:13:22,280
Speaker 1: made a bigger impact in the game than the Steelers

296
00:13:22,360 --> 00:13:25,080
Speaker 1: vanted defensive line, and for the most part, Jalen Hurts

297
00:13:25,080 --> 00:13:27,640
Speaker 1: had a lot of time back there to go find

298
00:13:27,640 --> 00:13:28,319
Speaker 1: his guys.

299
00:13:28,120 --> 00:13:31,080
Speaker 8: And Jeff Stotlin's group the Eagles offensive line was able

300
00:13:31,120 --> 00:13:33,439
Speaker 8: to do that with Landed Dickerson out for a lot

301
00:13:33,440 --> 00:13:35,920
Speaker 8: of this game. There was Lane Johnson went missing for

302
00:13:36,000 --> 00:13:37,920
Speaker 8: a spot in this game, and they were able to

303
00:13:37,920 --> 00:13:40,959
Speaker 8: hold Saquon Barkley to under four yards of carry, where

304
00:13:41,040 --> 00:13:44,840
Speaker 8: we're waiting for this Saquon pull away opportunity that never came.

305
00:13:45,200 --> 00:13:49,240
Speaker 8: And so in this absolute bowl Constrictor Leviath in ten

306
00:13:49,320 --> 00:13:52,160
Speaker 8: minute and twenty nine second drive to ice the game.

307
00:13:52,360 --> 00:13:54,720
Speaker 8: There are a couple of long conversions from Jalen Hurts

308
00:13:54,760 --> 00:13:57,360
Speaker 8: Won to Devonte Smith Won to aj Brown. They had

309
00:13:57,840 --> 00:14:00,480
Speaker 8: a fourth down conversion, a few third and short and

310
00:14:00,520 --> 00:14:02,720
Speaker 8: they just kind of squeezed the life out of the Steelers,

311
00:14:02,720 --> 00:14:04,600
Speaker 8: not just in that drive, but it felt like in

312
00:14:04,640 --> 00:14:05,920
Speaker 8: this game on offense, Hady.

313
00:14:06,040 --> 00:14:06,840
Speaker 5: It was amazing.

314
00:14:07,040 --> 00:14:11,520
Speaker 1: The Steelers only had two drives in the second half.

315
00:14:12,400 --> 00:14:14,600
Speaker 1: That's the first time that's happened in fifteen years in

316
00:14:14,640 --> 00:14:15,199
Speaker 1: the NFL.

317
00:14:15,280 --> 00:14:15,600
Speaker 9: Wow.

318
00:14:16,000 --> 00:14:20,600
Speaker 1: I mean, I love checking the drive chart and just like, okay,

319
00:14:20,720 --> 00:14:22,400
Speaker 1: was it a heavy drive game? Was it a low

320
00:14:22,480 --> 00:14:25,480
Speaker 1: drive game? You just don't see that. In fact, in

321
00:14:25,520 --> 00:14:28,280
Speaker 1: the first half of the game, the Steelers had five

322
00:14:28,400 --> 00:14:30,760
Speaker 1: drives in the first sixteen minutes of the game and

323
00:14:30,800 --> 00:14:35,280
Speaker 1: they did absolutely nothing with it. They had negative yardage

324
00:14:35,400 --> 00:14:37,680
Speaker 1: through the first four drives of the game and they

325
00:14:37,720 --> 00:14:40,000
Speaker 1: weren't moving the ball at all. So it was the

326
00:14:40,000 --> 00:14:44,280
Speaker 1: Philly defense early in the Philly offense late a seven

327
00:14:45,040 --> 00:14:49,080
Speaker 1: minute drive for thirteen plays that started the second half,

328
00:14:49,360 --> 00:14:52,760
Speaker 1: then a six play drive after a Nase Harris fumble,

329
00:14:52,920 --> 00:14:55,760
Speaker 1: which really was the most important play of the game.

330
00:14:55,800 --> 00:14:57,600
Speaker 1: I think it was an unforced era at a time

331
00:14:57,600 --> 00:14:59,240
Speaker 1: when the Steelers were right in it. It was a one

332
00:14:59,320 --> 00:15:02,640
Speaker 1: score game. The Eagles go catch that in with some

333
00:15:02,680 --> 00:15:04,560
Speaker 1: of those plays that you mentioned, Patrick, and then they

334
00:15:04,640 --> 00:15:08,400
Speaker 1: finished the game after Mike Tomlin punts the ball in

335
00:15:08,520 --> 00:15:12,040
Speaker 1: plus territory on fourth and seven down two touchdowns in

336
00:15:12,040 --> 00:15:14,320
Speaker 1: the fourth quarter. Mike Tomlin's one of the greatest coaches

337
00:15:14,320 --> 00:15:17,080
Speaker 1: of all time, but he always makes those decisions. That's

338
00:15:17,360 --> 00:15:19,400
Speaker 1: to me. It seems like his bugaboo. They didn't get

339
00:15:19,400 --> 00:15:21,160
Speaker 1: the ball back. The Eagles just ran it out the

340
00:15:21,240 --> 00:15:23,960
Speaker 1: last ten and a half minutes of the game. And yes,

341
00:15:24,160 --> 00:15:26,880
Speaker 1: it led to a happy locker room for the Eagles

342
00:15:27,240 --> 00:15:29,840
Speaker 1: and Jalen Hurts even making a little joke when he

343
00:15:29,880 --> 00:15:32,480
Speaker 1: gets to the podium.

344
00:15:32,320 --> 00:15:34,320
Speaker 9: So that's what all want to see, huh.

345
00:15:34,080 --> 00:15:38,120
Speaker 5: Dude, it really was.

346
00:15:38,680 --> 00:15:41,280
Speaker 1: It was. It was like, yes, that is what we

347
00:15:41,440 --> 00:15:43,160
Speaker 1: would like to see, Nick, It was fun.

348
00:15:43,240 --> 00:15:44,440
Speaker 6: I don't know if that was so much of a

349
00:15:44,560 --> 00:15:46,360
Speaker 6: joke as more of like a statement like, oh, you

350
00:15:46,480 --> 00:15:48,480
Speaker 6: spent the whole week worrying about my relationship with my

351
00:15:48,560 --> 00:15:50,120
Speaker 6: receivers and then we just go do that.

352
00:15:50,560 --> 00:15:51,920
Speaker 7: There was no smile on his face.

353
00:15:51,960 --> 00:15:55,680
Speaker 6: That was very coldly delivered, but earned, very much earned

354
00:15:55,720 --> 00:15:58,000
Speaker 6: for the Eagles who spent the whole week, you know,

355
00:15:58,040 --> 00:16:00,680
Speaker 6: having to deflect and everything else and explain themselves and

356
00:16:00,680 --> 00:16:03,000
Speaker 6: then come out and may fire on all cylinders. I mean,

357
00:16:03,040 --> 00:16:05,720
Speaker 6: a complete team performance. You have a team that dominates

358
00:16:05,760 --> 00:16:08,560
Speaker 6: in time possession essentially two to one, and you rack

359
00:16:08,640 --> 00:16:10,400
Speaker 6: up four hundred and one yards of total offense, You

360
00:16:10,440 --> 00:16:12,600
Speaker 6: convert ten to seventeen third downs, and you hold.

361
00:16:12,400 --> 00:16:14,640
Speaker 7: The opposing offense to one hundred and sixty three yards.

362
00:16:14,720 --> 00:16:18,000
Speaker 6: Mister limited, Russell Wilson goes fourteen to twenty two for

363
00:16:18,040 --> 00:16:19,120
Speaker 6: one twenty eight in a touchdown.

364
00:16:19,160 --> 00:16:21,200
Speaker 7: They had no shot other than the score.

365
00:16:21,400 --> 00:16:24,080
Speaker 6: I mean, the score was relatively close until the fourth

366
00:16:24,160 --> 00:16:26,720
Speaker 6: quarter when they put them away with that touchdown. But man,

367
00:16:26,920 --> 00:16:29,160
Speaker 6: this is the an Eagles defense that has basically been

368
00:16:29,240 --> 00:16:31,280
Speaker 6: like this since like Week seven, since that game in

369
00:16:31,320 --> 00:16:33,600
Speaker 6: New York against the Giants. This is who they've been,

370
00:16:33,800 --> 00:16:36,480
Speaker 6: and the offense has gotten it done, primarily with Saquon Barkley.

371
00:16:36,600 --> 00:16:38,160
Speaker 6: Now they're able to open up the passing game a

372
00:16:38,200 --> 00:16:40,280
Speaker 6: little bit. The vibes around this team are still weird

373
00:16:40,280 --> 00:16:42,120
Speaker 6: because of what happens on the sidelines and all the

374
00:16:42,200 --> 00:16:43,080
Speaker 6: narratives that we deal with.

375
00:16:43,120 --> 00:16:44,520
Speaker 5: We got we got more of that. We still got

376
00:16:44,520 --> 00:16:45,120
Speaker 5: a little more of that.

377
00:16:45,400 --> 00:16:47,400
Speaker 7: Yeah, Tom a little bit of a tease.

378
00:16:48,320 --> 00:16:50,120
Speaker 6: But at the same time, it's hard to argue with

379
00:16:50,160 --> 00:16:52,000
Speaker 6: them at twelve and two and they're they're playing pretty

380
00:16:52,040 --> 00:16:54,480
Speaker 6: dominant football. I mean, in Mike Tomlins case when he

381
00:16:54,520 --> 00:16:56,200
Speaker 6: punts there, it makes sense my defense is better than

382
00:16:56,200 --> 00:16:56,600
Speaker 6: my offense.

383
00:16:56,600 --> 00:16:58,000
Speaker 7: It did right, Maybe they're going to turn over it,

384
00:16:58,320 --> 00:16:58,840
Speaker 7: but it doesn't.

385
00:16:59,000 --> 00:17:00,680
Speaker 6: It doesn't make sense. But that's what happens when you

386
00:17:00,680 --> 00:17:01,880
Speaker 6: play a team that's playing this well.

387
00:17:01,920 --> 00:17:03,920
Speaker 5: It's today.

388
00:17:03,920 --> 00:17:06,280
Speaker 8: They got to third, they got to third and seven,

389
00:17:06,720 --> 00:17:09,920
Speaker 8: third and six from the seven yard line and Jalen

390
00:17:09,960 --> 00:17:11,760
Speaker 8: Hurts hits AJ Brown for twenty one yards.

391
00:17:11,800 --> 00:17:13,880
Speaker 9: It changes things. But they did get to a third. Doubt.

392
00:17:13,920 --> 00:17:15,679
Speaker 1: It wasn't like you got to know, you got to

393
00:17:15,680 --> 00:17:17,800
Speaker 1: know the game situation. I just don't think they were

394
00:17:17,800 --> 00:17:20,400
Speaker 1: going to get enough possessions and their offense wasn't playing well.

395
00:17:20,880 --> 00:17:23,119
Speaker 1: They had one hundred and sixty three yards, as Shook mentioned,

396
00:17:23,160 --> 00:17:24,359
Speaker 1: and you're in plus territory.

397
00:17:24,359 --> 00:17:25,480
Speaker 5: You're just going to run out of time.

398
00:17:25,680 --> 00:17:27,159
Speaker 1: Just got to give your chance, You got to give

399
00:17:27,200 --> 00:17:29,280
Speaker 1: your guys a chance to go win the game.

400
00:17:30,359 --> 00:17:32,439
Speaker 8: Sure, you could say you're faunted offense. We were just

401
00:17:32,440 --> 00:17:33,840
Speaker 8: discussing that the Steelers have today.

402
00:17:34,040 --> 00:17:37,480
Speaker 1: I'm just saying, like, you got to give him a chance. Unfortunately,

403
00:17:37,760 --> 00:17:40,359
Speaker 1: on that drive, TJ. Watt, who had two sacks on

404
00:17:40,480 --> 00:17:43,200
Speaker 1: the day, one of the big plays of the game

405
00:17:43,240 --> 00:17:47,600
Speaker 1: I thought was Jalen hurts unbelievable ability to hold onto

406
00:17:47,600 --> 00:17:50,280
Speaker 1: the ball with his right hand as TJ. Watt swatted it.

407
00:17:50,480 --> 00:17:53,520
Speaker 1: He must have the strongest hands in the entire league.

408
00:17:53,560 --> 00:17:55,560
Speaker 1: Like you could even see the ball get loose there

409
00:17:55,600 --> 00:17:58,040
Speaker 1: for like a half a second. I have no idea

410
00:17:58,160 --> 00:18:00,320
Speaker 1: how how he could have gripped onto the ball there.

411
00:18:01,080 --> 00:18:01,359
Speaker 5: TJ.

412
00:18:01,440 --> 00:18:05,000
Speaker 1: Watt leaves with an ankle injury. Mike Tomlin said there

413
00:18:05,000 --> 00:18:08,160
Speaker 1: will be more tests done on that, so that is concerning.

414
00:18:08,240 --> 00:18:11,600
Speaker 1: They also lost Dante Jackson during this game. We'll see

415
00:18:11,640 --> 00:18:15,520
Speaker 1: how serious Watt's injury is. The Steelers offense has gone

416
00:18:15,600 --> 00:18:19,080
Speaker 1: through stretches like they went through early in this game,

417
00:18:19,119 --> 00:18:24,280
Speaker 1: where like I mentioned, six possessions and I believe they

418
00:18:24,280 --> 00:18:26,240
Speaker 1: had negative yardage through six.

419
00:18:26,040 --> 00:18:27,720
Speaker 5: Possessions in three points.

420
00:18:27,880 --> 00:18:30,600
Speaker 1: And the only reason why they had three points is

421
00:18:30,640 --> 00:18:34,920
Speaker 1: because they started a drive in the Eagles territory, went

422
00:18:35,160 --> 00:18:38,720
Speaker 1: backwards and then had to punt, but then Cooper Desine

423
00:18:39,000 --> 00:18:41,720
Speaker 1: fumbled the punt and they got the ball at at

424
00:18:41,760 --> 00:18:44,520
Speaker 1: the Eagles eleven yard line, went three and out again

425
00:18:44,760 --> 00:18:47,919
Speaker 1: before a field goal. I mean the Eagles defense was

426
00:18:48,080 --> 00:18:52,040
Speaker 1: really on one. The only mistakes they had were like penalties.

427
00:18:52,119 --> 00:18:55,879
Speaker 1: Jalen Carter had a penalty on a punt that helped

428
00:18:55,880 --> 00:18:57,960
Speaker 1: give the Steelers a ball around a field goal rather

429
00:18:58,400 --> 00:19:01,280
Speaker 1: and other than that, Josh Sweat is really playing a

430
00:19:01,280 --> 00:19:04,560
Speaker 1: lot better like Nolan Smith. It is a really complete group.

431
00:19:04,600 --> 00:19:06,880
Speaker 1: And now you look ahead, they're tied with the Lions

432
00:19:06,920 --> 00:19:10,359
Speaker 1: at twelve and two and they're scheduled down the stretch

433
00:19:10,560 --> 00:19:12,800
Speaker 1: is very forgiving. You do have the Commanders next week

434
00:19:12,840 --> 00:19:17,240
Speaker 1: in Washington. They can officially clinch the division there. That's

435
00:19:17,280 --> 00:19:21,480
Speaker 1: not an easy game. But then another couple division games

436
00:19:21,520 --> 00:19:23,520
Speaker 1: and they're going to be heavy favorites. They do not

437
00:19:23,800 --> 00:19:27,159
Speaker 1: win any ties at twelve and two at fifteen and

438
00:19:27,200 --> 00:19:29,959
Speaker 1: two with the Vikings and or the Lions, so they

439
00:19:30,400 --> 00:19:34,120
Speaker 1: need the Lions and the Vikings to lose one more

440
00:19:34,200 --> 00:19:34,760
Speaker 1: game each.

441
00:19:34,840 --> 00:19:36,960
Speaker 5: But if that happens, they're they're in pretty good shape.

442
00:19:37,000 --> 00:19:40,160
Speaker 8: Yeah, with them playing each other. Yeah, there's one get

443
00:19:40,200 --> 00:19:44,320
Speaker 8: they get one of those maybe unless there's a gentleman's agreement.

444
00:19:45,920 --> 00:19:48,399
Speaker 1: Charges now that will not help the Viking until though,

445
00:19:48,440 --> 00:19:50,199
Speaker 1: I guess we have to find out. Yeah, the Eagles

446
00:19:50,240 --> 00:19:54,080
Speaker 1: close with Dallas and the Giants at home after that

447
00:19:54,119 --> 00:19:58,520
Speaker 1: game against Washington next week. So I just am so

448
00:19:58,560 --> 00:20:02,040
Speaker 1: impressed with this team. And as good as the Steelers

449
00:20:02,400 --> 00:20:08,280
Speaker 1: are in general, is their defense special enough? I have

450
00:20:08,400 --> 00:20:12,159
Speaker 1: my doubts against the very best offenses. Now, who is

451
00:20:12,200 --> 00:20:15,120
Speaker 1: that in the AFC? It's the Bills certainly, Like maybe

452
00:20:15,160 --> 00:20:18,119
Speaker 1: it's the Ravens as well, that they'll get a matchup

453
00:20:18,119 --> 00:20:20,400
Speaker 1: with them coming up, Like is their their defense is good?

454
00:20:20,400 --> 00:20:22,199
Speaker 1: But it's not good enough? And their their offense has

455
00:20:22,240 --> 00:20:26,600
Speaker 1: been opportunistic? Maybe not enough? And yees shook. You mentioned

456
00:20:26,359 --> 00:20:28,199
Speaker 1: the sideline.

457
00:20:28,080 --> 00:20:28,840
Speaker 5: Do you want to describe?

458
00:20:28,840 --> 00:20:32,040
Speaker 1: Who wants to describe the sideline fracas between Nick Sirianni

459
00:20:32,320 --> 00:20:33,680
Speaker 1: and his own defensive line coach.

460
00:20:33,920 --> 00:20:35,919
Speaker 8: I was only able to look up and see it

461
00:20:36,040 --> 00:20:38,920
Speaker 8: during our show, but I saw, as you know, Sirianni

462
00:20:38,960 --> 00:20:41,720
Speaker 8: talking to the Delon coach big Dom there for some reason.

463
00:20:42,040 --> 00:20:42,560
Speaker 5: Clinton hurt.

464
00:20:42,640 --> 00:20:46,240
Speaker 1: Yeah, I think was stopping Sirianni, if I can interpret

465
00:20:46,280 --> 00:20:49,520
Speaker 1: it right, from going up to Jalen Carter and saying

466
00:20:49,560 --> 00:20:53,720
Speaker 1: anything after this boneheaded, unnecessary roughness on Jalen Carter that

467
00:20:53,800 --> 00:20:57,520
Speaker 1: it was almost a defensive line coach saying not now, buddy,

468
00:20:57,760 --> 00:21:02,080
Speaker 1: like now is not the time like, and then Siriani

469
00:21:02,160 --> 00:21:04,479
Speaker 1: kind of squaring up to Clinton hertwich I don't think

470
00:21:04,520 --> 00:21:06,440
Speaker 1: would work out well for them. But they're both pretty

471
00:21:06,480 --> 00:21:10,040
Speaker 1: large menton, but you know, Clint's bigger. There's always something

472
00:21:10,080 --> 00:21:12,720
Speaker 1: with the Eagles, even in a win. But man, they

473
00:21:12,800 --> 00:21:16,359
Speaker 1: are really impressive. So we talked about the one seed

474
00:21:16,400 --> 00:21:20,760
Speaker 1: in the NFC, could the one seed in the AFC

475
00:21:21,359 --> 00:21:22,639
Speaker 1: wind up being up for grabs though?

476
00:21:22,680 --> 00:21:24,400
Speaker 11: First and ten play they swing it on the near

477
00:21:24,440 --> 00:21:28,560
Speaker 11: flat with a screen Worthy fifteen ten down to the block, touchdown,

478
00:21:29,520 --> 00:21:33,640
Speaker 11: Cansa City on a swing screen to the near side

479
00:21:33,720 --> 00:21:37,480
Speaker 11: to ke Xavier Worthy, and now the Kansas City Chiefs

480
00:21:37,720 --> 00:21:41,840
Speaker 11: have their first three possession lead of the season and

481
00:21:42,080 --> 00:21:45,040
Speaker 11: maybe their first three touchdown lead of the season.

482
00:21:45,600 --> 00:21:46,159
Speaker 5: Wow.

483
00:21:46,600 --> 00:21:52,560
Speaker 1: Mitch Holtis on WDAF that's pretty crazy stat which really

484
00:21:52,600 --> 00:21:55,760
Speaker 1: speaks to the chief season and also speaks to how

485
00:21:55,760 --> 00:21:57,640
Speaker 1: excited he was about it. It's like, Wow, I'm finally

486
00:21:57,680 --> 00:22:01,480
Speaker 1: gonna get to kick back and just enjoy an easy victory.

487
00:22:01,520 --> 00:22:01,960
Speaker 5: It didn't.

488
00:22:02,200 --> 00:22:03,040
Speaker 9: They didn't score after that.

489
00:22:03,440 --> 00:22:04,720
Speaker 5: Yeah, it didn't work out that way.

490
00:22:04,720 --> 00:22:06,960
Speaker 1: The Browns had a million possessions, they only cut it

491
00:22:07,000 --> 00:22:09,200
Speaker 1: to twenty one seven. That winds up being the final

492
00:22:09,280 --> 00:22:14,640
Speaker 1: score because there were six takeaways from the Chiefs defense.

493
00:22:14,720 --> 00:22:17,720
Speaker 1: So if you stream them in fantasy in your playoffs,

494
00:22:17,800 --> 00:22:18,760
Speaker 1: great job by you.

495
00:22:19,520 --> 00:22:21,400
Speaker 5: Unfortunately, Nick, the.

496
00:22:21,359 --> 00:22:24,000
Speaker 1: Reason why this is getting talked about so early in

497
00:22:24,080 --> 00:22:28,040
Speaker 1: the show is that Patrick Mahomes left with an ankle injury.

498
00:22:29,960 --> 00:22:32,600
Speaker 1: There's fear that it could be a high ankle sprain.

499
00:22:32,720 --> 00:22:35,960
Speaker 1: According to multiple reports. The team is not saying that,

500
00:22:36,119 --> 00:22:39,600
Speaker 1: but really just calls into question how the next couple

501
00:22:39,640 --> 00:22:41,840
Speaker 1: of weeks are going to go for the Kansas City Chiefs.

502
00:22:42,119 --> 00:22:44,120
Speaker 6: Yeah, especially if you watched this team this season, because

503
00:22:44,119 --> 00:22:47,360
Speaker 6: you know how valuable Mahomes is. Now Statistically doesn't shine through,

504
00:22:47,359 --> 00:22:49,000
Speaker 6: but when you watch him every week, you see him

505
00:22:49,160 --> 00:22:51,240
Speaker 6: convert the third downs. He's one of the most frustrating

506
00:22:51,240 --> 00:22:53,280
Speaker 6: players to defend in the NFL, and taking that element

507
00:22:53,320 --> 00:22:55,640
Speaker 6: out of that offense really takes away a big part

508
00:22:55,720 --> 00:22:58,040
Speaker 6: of what makes these Chiefs thirteen and one, which is

509
00:22:58,040 --> 00:23:00,000
Speaker 6: that they win on the margins. They won this game,

510
00:23:00,080 --> 00:23:01,920
Speaker 6: and the margins on both sides of the ball. They

511
00:23:01,960 --> 00:23:04,399
Speaker 6: forced a lot of turnovers. Anytime the Browns put the

512
00:23:04,440 --> 00:23:06,640
Speaker 6: ball on the turf free to be picked up, they

513
00:23:06,640 --> 00:23:08,520
Speaker 6: were there to pick it up. Anytime they needed a

514
00:23:08,520 --> 00:23:11,159
Speaker 6: third down. Mahomes still converted a majority of them, or

515
00:23:11,160 --> 00:23:12,840
Speaker 6: at least a good amount of them. But if you

516
00:23:12,880 --> 00:23:14,200
Speaker 6: take that out of the offense and you leave it

517
00:23:14,280 --> 00:23:17,480
Speaker 6: to Carson Wentz, suddenly makes you question this entire team's viability.

518
00:23:17,600 --> 00:23:20,360
Speaker 6: So hopefully they could get news on him. Also, Mahomes

519
00:23:20,359 --> 00:23:23,119
Speaker 6: and the ankle injury history not encouraging considering what he's

520
00:23:23,160 --> 00:23:25,640
Speaker 6: dealt with over the last few years. But this game,

521
00:23:25,720 --> 00:23:29,240
Speaker 6: specifically classic case of a champion and a winning team

522
00:23:29,480 --> 00:23:31,560
Speaker 6: playing better than a losing team. I mean, they won

523
00:23:31,760 --> 00:23:33,840
Speaker 6: in every small area. Every fifty to fifty ball went

524
00:23:33,920 --> 00:23:35,640
Speaker 6: their way. Every time there was a play to be made,

525
00:23:35,680 --> 00:23:37,800
Speaker 6: they made it. Scheme wise, they outschemed the Browns, and

526
00:23:37,800 --> 00:23:39,520
Speaker 6: the Browns defense played well enough to keep them in

527
00:23:39,520 --> 00:23:42,800
Speaker 6: this game. But defensively, the Chiefs were all over Jamis Winston.

528
00:23:42,960 --> 00:23:45,200
Speaker 6: They took advantage of his wrists, they picked him off,

529
00:23:45,359 --> 00:23:48,240
Speaker 6: They forced a number of turnovers. They capitalized in every

530
00:23:48,520 --> 00:23:51,920
Speaker 6: single situation, which is the mark of a championship level team.

531
00:23:52,040 --> 00:23:54,399
Speaker 6: So to see them go winning Cleveland not surprising at all.

532
00:23:54,440 --> 00:23:56,480
Speaker 6: To see them winning this fashion not surprising at all.

533
00:23:56,480 --> 00:23:58,000
Speaker 6: In fact, it was more dominant than in the twenty

534
00:23:58,040 --> 00:24:00,600
Speaker 6: one to seven final would even suggest, but that was

535
00:24:00,640 --> 00:24:02,880
Speaker 6: because they didn't quite you know, maintain possession as long

536
00:24:02,880 --> 00:24:04,520
Speaker 6: as you would want them to. But yeah, we'll see,

537
00:24:04,520 --> 00:24:08,000
Speaker 6: we'll see what mahomes because it would take away obviously

538
00:24:08,000 --> 00:24:10,320
Speaker 6: a huge part of their team one of the superstars

539
00:24:10,320 --> 00:24:13,080
Speaker 6: of the NFL fingers crossed. But luckily they've done enough

540
00:24:13,240 --> 00:24:15,480
Speaker 6: so far at thirteen to one to buy themselves a

541
00:24:15,480 --> 00:24:16,879
Speaker 6: little bit of breathing room if they need it.

542
00:24:16,880 --> 00:24:19,320
Speaker 1: Well, I think we're getting Carson Wentz on Saturday against

543
00:24:19,359 --> 00:24:21,000
Speaker 1: the Texans. I know it's early in the week, but

544
00:24:21,040 --> 00:24:24,080
Speaker 1: Ian Rappaport called it week to week right.

545
00:24:23,960 --> 00:24:24,440
Speaker 5: Off the bat.

546
00:24:24,480 --> 00:24:27,959
Speaker 1: We've seen Patrick Mahomes play, but they have two games

547
00:24:27,960 --> 00:24:31,600
Speaker 1: in a five day window because they're also playing on Christmas.

548
00:24:32,840 --> 00:24:35,800
Speaker 1: Maybe they just really hope that he can get back

549
00:24:35,880 --> 00:24:38,520
Speaker 1: for that game against the raven So I think we're

550
00:24:38,520 --> 00:24:42,199
Speaker 1: gonna have Carson Wentz in a standalone window on on

551
00:24:42,320 --> 00:24:45,160
Speaker 1: Saturday or else you know, you just normally don't hear

552
00:24:45,200 --> 00:24:47,680
Speaker 1: a guy like Ian Rappaport was careful about these things,

553
00:24:47,720 --> 00:24:49,640
Speaker 1: say week to week right off the bat, because week

554
00:24:49,680 --> 00:24:52,520
Speaker 1: to week means you're out this week. I think it's

555
00:24:52,560 --> 00:24:54,919
Speaker 1: a crisis. What's happening with the Chiefs offense. They had

556
00:24:54,960 --> 00:24:58,440
Speaker 1: to play Joe Tunia left tackle, which I think makes sense.

557
00:24:58,480 --> 00:25:01,080
Speaker 1: You know, they lost DJ Humphries to injury and Joe

558
00:25:01,160 --> 00:25:05,720
Speaker 1: Toney is the best left tackle on their roster. That

559
00:25:06,720 --> 00:25:10,560
Speaker 1: part makes sense. But Patrick Mahomes has taken thirty seven

560
00:25:10,640 --> 00:25:14,560
Speaker 1: quarterback hits over the last three weeks. I have to

561
00:25:14,640 --> 00:25:19,440
Speaker 1: imagine that's one of the highest three game quarterback hits totals,

562
00:25:19,840 --> 00:25:23,040
Speaker 1: if not the highest in the NFL this entire season.

563
00:25:23,440 --> 00:25:25,080
Speaker 7: Him and Will Levis, I think right.

564
00:25:25,520 --> 00:25:27,280
Speaker 1: And he didn't get sacked today, so part of it

565
00:25:27,359 --> 00:25:30,360
Speaker 1: is he's just trying to make a play and he's

566
00:25:30,359 --> 00:25:32,360
Speaker 1: holding onto the ball because his guys aren't open. It's

567
00:25:32,359 --> 00:25:35,440
Speaker 1: just this cyclical thing. But he's taken an absolute beating and.

568
00:25:35,359 --> 00:25:37,960
Speaker 8: That might be the best reason to not have him

569
00:25:37,960 --> 00:25:41,360
Speaker 8: play right and come back, because they can't protect him

570
00:25:41,480 --> 00:25:43,920
Speaker 8: when his ankles are good. All right, and the memories

571
00:25:43,920 --> 00:25:46,680
Speaker 8: of Patrick Mahomes hobbling his way to a super Bowl

572
00:25:46,880 --> 00:25:49,119
Speaker 8: on that ankle. It becomes like you think about the

573
00:25:49,160 --> 00:25:53,159
Speaker 8: cumulative effect of all of these hits, where like the

574
00:25:53,200 --> 00:25:55,760
Speaker 8: improvement was him getting hit on thirty eight percent of

575
00:25:55,800 --> 00:25:57,919
Speaker 8: his drop backs a week ago. When they make the

576
00:25:57,920 --> 00:26:00,399
Speaker 8: shift and now they've they've got Tony out there at

577
00:26:00,480 --> 00:26:05,240
Speaker 8: left tackle where you're I guess the benefit that the

578
00:26:06,040 --> 00:26:08,320
Speaker 8: Chiefs got today was Miles Garrett got poked in the

579
00:26:08,320 --> 00:26:10,760
Speaker 8: eye and so he missed the significant portion of the game.

580
00:26:11,600 --> 00:26:14,679
Speaker 8: And because otherwise Mahomes takes even more shots.

581
00:26:15,240 --> 00:26:17,080
Speaker 7: Yeah, I mean, Tuney did well against him. This is

582
00:26:17,080 --> 00:26:17,320
Speaker 7: the thing.

583
00:26:17,359 --> 00:26:18,840
Speaker 6: He did a really good job as a guy who

584
00:26:18,880 --> 00:26:21,159
Speaker 6: doesn't play tackle suddenly playing tackle. But it speaks to

585
00:26:21,560 --> 00:26:23,480
Speaker 6: where the Chiefs have had to cut corners to stay

586
00:26:23,520 --> 00:26:25,600
Speaker 6: competitive while paying some of these other guys as they've

587
00:26:25,600 --> 00:26:27,080
Speaker 6: had to cut corners that tackle and it's been a

588
00:26:27,080 --> 00:26:28,800
Speaker 6: problem of both sides the line for them this year.

589
00:26:28,840 --> 00:26:29,959
Speaker 7: It is their greatest weakness.

590
00:26:29,960 --> 00:26:31,720
Speaker 6: It's not their defense, it's not even their offense, their

591
00:26:31,760 --> 00:26:33,960
Speaker 6: offensive line whether they can protect him, and now they

592
00:26:34,000 --> 00:26:36,159
Speaker 6: may have to pay some of that bill. So I

593
00:26:36,160 --> 00:26:38,600
Speaker 6: guess it's better that it's happening now as opposed to

594
00:26:38,640 --> 00:26:40,639
Speaker 6: three or four weeks from now. But it is a

595
00:26:40,760 --> 00:26:43,359
Speaker 6: huge red flag as you approach the postseason.

596
00:26:43,119 --> 00:26:46,320
Speaker 1: Right, and they would have to lose two times to

597
00:26:46,840 --> 00:26:50,520
Speaker 1: let the Bills in on the one seed. I guess

598
00:26:50,560 --> 00:26:52,920
Speaker 1: the Steelers could be in that mix too, but realistically,

599
00:26:52,960 --> 00:26:56,000
Speaker 1: because of the head to head, Bills are the ones

600
00:26:56,040 --> 00:26:58,840
Speaker 1: they're hoping for. And if you lose to the Texans,

601
00:26:58,880 --> 00:27:01,480
Speaker 1: for instance, with Carson went, then suddenly you got the

602
00:27:01,800 --> 00:27:05,159
Speaker 1: Ravens five days later. If you're a fan of the Bills,

603
00:27:05,600 --> 00:27:07,680
Speaker 1: like Eric back there, you at least have a little

604
00:27:07,680 --> 00:27:10,359
Speaker 1: bit of hope. And the quarterback hits thing is is

605
00:27:10,480 --> 00:27:13,240
Speaker 1: fascinating to me because Mahomes didn't take a sack, which

606
00:27:13,320 --> 00:27:18,200
Speaker 1: is crazy like of them. The Chiefs, for instance, had

607
00:27:18,280 --> 00:27:21,760
Speaker 1: eleven quarterback hits, which is a huge number in one game.

608
00:27:22,320 --> 00:27:25,800
Speaker 1: They got five sacks out of it, and so whereas

609
00:27:25,800 --> 00:27:28,480
Speaker 1: Mahomes didn't take any sacks at all, and that it

610
00:27:28,600 --> 00:27:31,040
Speaker 1: was very similar to what happened a week ago in

611
00:27:31,080 --> 00:27:34,119
Speaker 1: the Chiefs scheme. But it just feels like it's breaking

612
00:27:34,160 --> 00:27:36,320
Speaker 1: down a little bit and yet they still win. And

613
00:27:36,359 --> 00:27:38,879
Speaker 1: I hear you chok that probably watching the game it

614
00:27:38,880 --> 00:27:41,359
Speaker 1: didn't feel as close, and Winston gets benched at the

615
00:27:41,440 --> 00:27:44,560
Speaker 1: end for DTR, who also throws an interception. But in

616
00:27:44,600 --> 00:27:47,399
Speaker 1: the end, like the Chiefs average four point one yards

617
00:27:47,400 --> 00:27:51,080
Speaker 1: for play. I mean, that's terrible. That's if they did

618
00:27:51,080 --> 00:27:53,680
Speaker 1: that all season, they'd be the worst offense in the NFL.

619
00:27:54,080 --> 00:27:56,320
Speaker 1: And they got drive after drive after drive that their

620
00:27:56,320 --> 00:27:59,480
Speaker 1: defense kept giving them and they couldn't really move the ball,

621
00:27:59,520 --> 00:28:01,239
Speaker 1: so that that is concerning to me.

622
00:28:01,240 --> 00:28:03,480
Speaker 8: And two of those Jamus picks were caught in the

623
00:28:03,560 --> 00:28:06,719
Speaker 8: end zone. It felt like an early white flag, Like

624
00:28:06,920 --> 00:28:08,640
Speaker 8: if you're in a situation where you need to throw

625
00:28:08,720 --> 00:28:11,480
Speaker 8: late in the time, it like why not just keep Jamison.

626
00:28:11,560 --> 00:28:14,240
Speaker 8: I understand you're frustrated with Jamis Winston, but it was

627
00:28:14,320 --> 00:28:17,399
Speaker 8: like an early white flag situation to throw DTR in

628
00:28:17,480 --> 00:28:20,240
Speaker 8: that game where I don't think DTR is thicking, that's

629
00:28:20,280 --> 00:28:20,800
Speaker 8: he has to come in.

630
00:28:20,880 --> 00:28:22,640
Speaker 9: It's just a bad situation for everybody.

631
00:28:22,760 --> 00:28:24,320
Speaker 5: DTR through nine passes.

632
00:28:24,480 --> 00:28:26,760
Speaker 6: Yeah, it speaks to what Greg's pointing to you for

633
00:28:26,760 --> 00:28:28,639
Speaker 6: weeks really this whole season, which is that the Browns

634
00:28:28,640 --> 00:28:31,119
Speaker 6: have this strange curiosity about DTR and anytime there's a

635
00:28:31,119 --> 00:28:32,200
Speaker 6: little bit of a sliver of an opening.

636
00:28:32,240 --> 00:28:34,000
Speaker 7: They're gonna find a way to force him onto the field.

637
00:28:34,080 --> 00:28:37,720
Speaker 8: Well, let let DTR know before you range. You rage

638
00:28:38,120 --> 00:28:39,480
Speaker 8: in the game against the Chiefs.

639
00:28:40,240 --> 00:28:43,480
Speaker 1: Yeah, the the Chiefs go plus six and turnovers. It's

640
00:28:43,480 --> 00:28:45,520
Speaker 1: tough to lose a game when you go plus six

641
00:28:45,560 --> 00:28:48,080
Speaker 1: in turnovers. But man, the Brown's actually somehow average more

642
00:28:48,120 --> 00:28:52,760
Speaker 1: yards played despite DTR throwing nine passes for eighteen yards.

643
00:28:52,800 --> 00:28:54,680
Speaker 1: We'll see if he gets like, what was the value

644
00:28:54,720 --> 00:28:57,160
Speaker 1: in there? Yeah, there was no value all around. It's

645
00:28:57,240 --> 00:29:00,120
Speaker 1: it's a little bit of a bummer right now this

646
00:29:00,160 --> 00:29:02,440
Speaker 1: season to watch the Chiefs. And it's a really big

647
00:29:02,480 --> 00:29:06,560
Speaker 1: bummer that Nick Chubb left this game with a broken foot.

648
00:29:06,880 --> 00:29:12,840
Speaker 1: Kevin Stefanski announced after the game. Unfortunately that could be

649
00:29:12,880 --> 00:29:16,160
Speaker 1: the end of his Browns tenure. I hope it's not,

650
00:29:16,400 --> 00:29:18,680
Speaker 1: but all the best to Nick Chubb as he goes

651
00:29:18,720 --> 00:29:23,560
Speaker 1: to tackle another difficult recovery. So I mentioned that the Ravens,

652
00:29:23,840 --> 00:29:26,640
Speaker 1: because of that Steelers loss, had a door open, And

653
00:29:26,720 --> 00:29:28,520
Speaker 1: I'm not going to pretend like you guys don't know

654
00:29:29,080 --> 00:29:32,480
Speaker 1: the results of the Ravens Giants game. They started Tommy

655
00:29:32,520 --> 00:29:34,640
Speaker 1: freaking de Vito with the Ravens coming off of bye

656
00:29:34,640 --> 00:29:35,440
Speaker 1: for God's sake.

657
00:29:35,440 --> 00:29:38,600
Speaker 5: Lamar stands with the shotgun. On second down, likely comes

658
00:29:38,640 --> 00:29:40,800
Speaker 5: in motion to the left. Lamar takes the snap looking

659
00:29:40,800 --> 00:29:41,920
Speaker 5: to left, firing man zone.

660
00:29:41,920 --> 00:29:46,240
Speaker 14: He's got a man touchdown were shot Bateman hits shucking

661
00:29:46,320 --> 00:29:46,520
Speaker 14: of the.

662
00:29:46,640 --> 00:29:53,000
Speaker 8: Day and Baitman runs at deep seven cut into the

663
00:29:53,080 --> 00:29:55,920
Speaker 8: end zone and a beautiful throw and catch.

664
00:29:56,600 --> 00:29:59,680
Speaker 1: It has been too long since we had former NFL

665
00:29:59,760 --> 00:30:03,320
Speaker 1: Network employee Rod Woodson on the recap show. That was

666
00:30:03,360 --> 00:30:08,160
Speaker 1: also Jerry sin Dusky wb A l on a day

667
00:30:08,200 --> 00:30:13,360
Speaker 1: where Josh Allen was just about perfect and seemed to

668
00:30:13,560 --> 00:30:18,080
Speaker 1: advance his cause as the National Football League's Most Valuable

669
00:30:18,080 --> 00:30:21,280
Speaker 1: Player for the twenty twenty four season. My God, Lamar

670
00:30:21,360 --> 00:30:23,120
Speaker 1: Jackson had one of the best days of his career

671
00:30:23,200 --> 00:30:28,200
Speaker 1: in the Giants. Foreign completions, five passing touchdowns and oh

672
00:30:29,200 --> 00:30:32,280
Speaker 1: sixty five yards on the ground on six rushes. This

673
00:30:32,360 --> 00:30:34,520
Speaker 1: must have been enjoyable of Ravens gave. You didn't have

674
00:30:34,600 --> 00:30:35,600
Speaker 1: to sweat Patrick.

675
00:30:35,360 --> 00:30:37,160
Speaker 9: Yeah, it was fun to not sweat it.

676
00:30:37,160 --> 00:30:39,760
Speaker 8: It did start off with a Lamar fumble, and despite

677
00:30:39,800 --> 00:30:42,400
Speaker 8: how great that he was today, Lamar will tell you

678
00:30:42,480 --> 00:30:44,560
Speaker 8: that that's the thing that he's going to remember was

679
00:30:44,560 --> 00:30:45,120
Speaker 8: getting that ball.

680
00:30:45,120 --> 00:30:47,960
Speaker 9: Punched out on the opening drive. After that, they did nothing.

681
00:30:47,760 --> 00:30:50,120
Speaker 8: But score touchdowns as long as he was in the game,

682
00:30:50,960 --> 00:30:54,480
Speaker 8: including so glad to have Rashad Bateman back after the

683
00:30:54,520 --> 00:30:56,720
Speaker 8: buy two of those where he's back in the end zone.

684
00:30:56,800 --> 00:31:00,360
Speaker 8: Davontees Walker tes Walker gets his first NFL cap, which

685
00:31:00,400 --> 00:31:03,640
Speaker 8: is also a touchdown from Lamar, and then we got

686
00:31:03,640 --> 00:31:06,600
Speaker 8: to see one of the biggest anomalies in the entire NFL.

687
00:31:07,400 --> 00:31:10,560
Speaker 8: Tim Boyle comes into this game continuing to play NFL

688
00:31:10,600 --> 00:31:14,400
Speaker 8: football despite throwing one touchdown and thirteen interceptions in his

689
00:31:14,480 --> 00:31:17,480
Speaker 8: college career and four touchdowns and twelve interceptions in his

690
00:31:17,520 --> 00:31:20,240
Speaker 8: pro career. He added to those well to the interception

691
00:31:20,320 --> 00:31:23,320
Speaker 8: and the touchdown today, tim Boyle cooking up the ring.

692
00:31:23,480 --> 00:31:26,400
Speaker 1: Oh, I gotta say, I don't think the Giants would

693
00:31:26,400 --> 00:31:29,360
Speaker 1: have covered a mystical twenty one point spread if that

694
00:31:29,400 --> 00:31:30,760
Speaker 1: was espread. I think it was sixteen and a half.

695
00:31:30,800 --> 00:31:34,239
Speaker 1: So they still didn't cover. If Tim Boyle didn't come in.

696
00:31:34,320 --> 00:31:36,120
Speaker 5: He was an up grade. He was better than Tom.

697
00:31:36,400 --> 00:31:39,840
Speaker 1: He made to be fair about four passes that I

698
00:31:39,880 --> 00:31:42,000
Speaker 1: was like, that's a pretty nice pass. I was like,

699
00:31:42,080 --> 00:31:43,680
Speaker 1: cause there were two, and I was like, I can't

700
00:31:43,680 --> 00:31:46,200
Speaker 1: believe Tommy DeVito's making these passes. And then I looked

701
00:31:46,200 --> 00:31:48,360
Speaker 1: and it was actually Tim Boyle. I'm not saying he

702
00:31:48,400 --> 00:31:48,800
Speaker 1: was perfect.

703
00:31:48,920 --> 00:31:50,400
Speaker 8: You got to when you're Tim Boyle, you got to

704
00:31:50,400 --> 00:31:54,520
Speaker 8: set the expectations so low that the people watching are like, hey,

705
00:31:54,960 --> 00:31:56,440
Speaker 8: this is about three or four of those passes.

706
00:31:56,480 --> 00:31:59,479
Speaker 5: It pretty nice, I think Tim Boyle, they were. They

707
00:31:59,520 --> 00:32:00,320
Speaker 5: actually were nice.

708
00:32:00,320 --> 00:32:02,880
Speaker 1: Look if you're a Malik Neighbors Fantasy owner or whatever,

709
00:32:03,360 --> 00:32:04,120
Speaker 1: he hooked you up.

710
00:32:04,040 --> 00:32:05,960
Speaker 9: Another ten catch game by the league Neighbors, by the.

711
00:32:05,960 --> 00:32:08,240
Speaker 1: Way, eighty two yards in a touchdown. You know he's

712
00:32:08,280 --> 00:32:10,160
Speaker 1: trying to get on those offensive Player of the Year,

713
00:32:10,280 --> 00:32:12,720
Speaker 1: Rookie of the Year ballots. Shook that we didn't put

714
00:32:12,760 --> 00:32:18,360
Speaker 1: him on before the game. I noticed the little flyover,

715
00:32:18,480 --> 00:32:22,200
Speaker 1: which is now a weekly event in MetLife Stadium. It says,

716
00:32:22,240 --> 00:32:27,120
Speaker 1: mister Mara, enough, we won't stop until you fire everyone.

717
00:32:27,840 --> 00:32:30,280
Speaker 1: I do remember a quote from Mara at one point

718
00:32:30,280 --> 00:32:32,840
Speaker 1: that that said, like the one thing that he would

719
00:32:32,840 --> 00:32:35,840
Speaker 1: be most concerned about would be apathy. He doesn't mind booze,

720
00:32:35,880 --> 00:32:37,960
Speaker 1: but he doesn't want apathy. And there were a ton

721
00:32:38,040 --> 00:32:40,360
Speaker 1: of empty seats. It was hard not to notice that

722
00:32:40,480 --> 00:32:43,600
Speaker 1: MetLife so just Brian Dable watched that.

723
00:32:43,600 --> 00:32:44,480
Speaker 5: That stuck out to me.

724
00:32:45,200 --> 00:32:47,840
Speaker 6: Yeah, and in the same vein off the top of

725
00:32:47,880 --> 00:32:50,480
Speaker 6: my head. Since Black Friday of last season, Tim Boyle

726
00:32:50,560 --> 00:32:53,040
Speaker 6: has now thrown passes for three NFL teams and somehow

727
00:32:53,120 --> 00:32:56,080
Speaker 6: is still in the league. This was the easiest game

728
00:32:56,120 --> 00:32:58,480
Speaker 6: of the season to pick if you're in the picking

729
00:32:58,480 --> 00:33:01,400
Speaker 6: group like me. Okay, we knew what was going to

730
00:33:01,440 --> 00:33:04,440
Speaker 6: happen here. It's dark days for the Giants and like

731
00:33:04,480 --> 00:33:06,600
Speaker 6: you said, nothing worse than empty seats.

732
00:33:07,080 --> 00:33:11,160
Speaker 1: Yeah, I think Tim Boyle it should be pointed out

733
00:33:11,200 --> 00:33:13,320
Speaker 1: in college did you did you have his numbers from college?

734
00:33:13,320 --> 00:33:14,640
Speaker 5: Did you throw that out there?

735
00:33:14,680 --> 00:33:17,080
Speaker 9: It was his career at Connecticut.

736
00:33:17,280 --> 00:33:19,240
Speaker 5: I don't know why I was spending so in statement.

737
00:33:19,040 --> 00:33:20,640
Speaker 9: No, because it's fun to look back.

738
00:33:20,680 --> 00:33:23,360
Speaker 8: I'm currently pulling up between twelve hundred and thirty eight

739
00:33:23,440 --> 00:33:28,240
Speaker 8: hundred per flight to fly a banner around MetLife. But yeah, yeah, yeah,

740
00:33:28,240 --> 00:33:31,400
Speaker 8: I know it's a very expensive operation in multiple weeks

741
00:33:31,440 --> 00:33:34,240
Speaker 8: with different banners. So somebody besides John Marray has a

742
00:33:34,240 --> 00:33:37,320
Speaker 8: lot of money. One touchdown, thirteen interceptions in his career

743
00:33:37,360 --> 00:33:40,239
Speaker 8: at Yukon that Tim Boyle, that is absolutely forty eight

744
00:33:40,800 --> 00:33:41,880
Speaker 8: completion percentage.

745
00:33:42,240 --> 00:33:44,360
Speaker 1: The thing with Lamar, people will just say, well, it

746
00:33:44,400 --> 00:33:47,680
Speaker 1: doesn't count because it's it's the Giants, and they end

747
00:33:47,760 --> 00:33:50,479
Speaker 1: up with four hundred and forty five yards despite not

748
00:33:50,560 --> 00:33:53,160
Speaker 1: having that many possessions because they just scored touchdowns on

749
00:33:53,200 --> 00:33:56,200
Speaker 1: all of them and took a little longer. Like those

750
00:33:56,240 --> 00:33:58,400
Speaker 1: weren't easy throws that he was making, they were really

751
00:33:58,440 --> 00:34:03,600
Speaker 1: great timing throws. He now leads the NFL in yards

752
00:34:03,640 --> 00:34:07,320
Speaker 1: per attempt passing, in yards per carry rushing. His yards

753
00:34:07,320 --> 00:34:09,400
Speaker 1: per attempt is adjusted yards per attempt is far and

754
00:34:09,440 --> 00:34:12,160
Speaker 1: away the best in the league and the best of

755
00:34:12,200 --> 00:34:15,080
Speaker 1: his career. He's having such a better season that he

756
00:34:15,120 --> 00:34:18,879
Speaker 1: did a year ago that it's just something to watch

757
00:34:18,960 --> 00:34:21,359
Speaker 1: down the stretch because they have some big, big time

758
00:34:21,440 --> 00:34:23,120
Speaker 1: games with the Steelers and the Chiefs coming up.

759
00:34:23,320 --> 00:34:24,120
Speaker 5: That if he.

760
00:34:24,160 --> 00:34:27,759
Speaker 1: Played absolutely outstanding and Allen or the Bills, you know,

761
00:34:27,760 --> 00:34:30,239
Speaker 1: stumbled a little bit down the stretch, you never know,

762
00:34:30,320 --> 00:34:33,239
Speaker 1: this thing might not be over. Because Lamar just has

763
00:34:33,280 --> 00:34:36,399
Speaker 1: been that good this year. The only thing that wasn't

764
00:34:36,400 --> 00:34:39,440
Speaker 1: good about him on Sunday were his pants.

765
00:34:39,560 --> 00:34:43,759
Speaker 15: All right, So look, it was asking me that, So

766
00:34:43,800 --> 00:34:46,840
Speaker 15: I'm like, I felt like Winn was touching my butt,

767
00:34:46,840 --> 00:34:48,800
Speaker 15: you know. So I was trying to keep my tights

768
00:34:48,880 --> 00:34:51,600
Speaker 15: up for real, like the tights just like gotta lot loose.

769
00:34:51,960 --> 00:34:52,479
Speaker 9: Who nose.

770
00:34:52,640 --> 00:34:54,319
Speaker 15: It's all like, just kind of keep my pants up.

771
00:34:54,520 --> 00:34:57,160
Speaker 15: That's all it was. It was too cold.

772
00:34:59,239 --> 00:35:01,719
Speaker 8: He made it defense or miss while pulling his pants up.

773
00:35:01,920 --> 00:35:04,680
Speaker 8: By the way, we saw new Compkins completely lose his

774
00:35:04,719 --> 00:35:07,680
Speaker 8: pants today. There's a pants issue league wide right now.

775
00:35:07,800 --> 00:35:10,640
Speaker 1: There have been a lot of pulling the pants down situations.

776
00:35:10,760 --> 00:35:13,279
Speaker 1: That one was crazy because he said, and that's a

777
00:35:13,280 --> 00:35:16,000
Speaker 1: classic quote. Can we cut that to just the I

778
00:35:16,000 --> 00:35:20,080
Speaker 1: felt the wind touching my butt. It's fantastic because it

779
00:35:20,160 --> 00:35:22,879
Speaker 1: certainly didn't look like that to the outside. I think

780
00:35:22,920 --> 00:35:24,840
Speaker 1: he just he just felt it and it wasn't. It

781
00:35:24,920 --> 00:35:27,680
Speaker 1: wasn't what was happening. It was just cold. But uh,

782
00:35:28,080 --> 00:35:30,520
Speaker 1: that was about it. If you can get first downs

783
00:35:31,000 --> 00:35:33,440
Speaker 1: while pulling up your pants, that's when you know football

784
00:35:33,520 --> 00:35:36,200
Speaker 1: is back. All right, Let's take a quick break here

785
00:35:36,400 --> 00:35:40,160
Speaker 1: and we're gonna go to the AFC South where, yes,

786
00:35:40,239 --> 00:35:44,839
Speaker 1: the division was on the line on Sunday, even though

787
00:35:45,080 --> 00:35:46,360
Speaker 1: the Texans were struggling.

788
00:35:46,400 --> 00:35:50,480
Speaker 9: What wind was touching the.

789
00:35:54,280 --> 00:35:57,439
Speaker 5: Tua takes the snap. Tua with pressure throwing calf field

790
00:35:57,440 --> 00:36:03,239
Speaker 5: two was White and Stanley a good. That's gonna do it.

791
00:36:03,680 --> 00:36:08,000
Speaker 5: The Texans are gonna beat Miami. Stanley's second pick seals

792
00:36:08,080 --> 00:36:11,120
Speaker 5: the deal. Bad Houston will get its ninth win.

793
00:36:12,440 --> 00:36:16,200
Speaker 1: If you didn't count Derek Stingley as one of the

794
00:36:16,200 --> 00:36:20,080
Speaker 1: best cornerbacks in the NFL, I think today did it

795
00:36:19,760 --> 00:36:20,480
Speaker 1: for you.

796
00:36:21,320 --> 00:36:23,360
Speaker 5: That was Mark VanderMeer, by the way on k I

797
00:36:23,680 --> 00:36:24,359
Speaker 5: l t Yes.

798
00:36:25,080 --> 00:36:28,160
Speaker 1: The Texans in the early window, knowing they had a

799
00:36:28,239 --> 00:36:31,680
Speaker 1: chance to possibly win the division today with a win

800
00:36:31,960 --> 00:36:34,880
Speaker 1: and a Colts loss, took care of business and it

801
00:36:34,920 --> 00:36:39,319
Speaker 1: was all about the defense, especially Stingley. They forced to

802
00:36:39,360 --> 00:36:43,160
Speaker 1: a tongue of Iloa into four turnovers in this game.

803
00:36:43,239 --> 00:36:48,279
Speaker 1: That was just an absolutely electric like play by by

804
00:36:48,320 --> 00:36:52,480
Speaker 1: Stingley that not many cornerbacks could possibly make. And the

805
00:36:52,719 --> 00:36:56,279
Speaker 1: interception that he had earlier in the second half, I

806
00:36:56,320 --> 00:36:58,520
Speaker 1: think not only showed what a good player he is

807
00:36:58,600 --> 00:37:01,400
Speaker 1: in terms of his athleticism, his ability to read what

808
00:37:01,480 --> 00:37:04,280
Speaker 1: the play is going to be, but also what Miami's

809
00:37:04,360 --> 00:37:06,960
Speaker 1: limitations are. I think Trent Green did a good job

810
00:37:07,000 --> 00:37:10,360
Speaker 1: pointing out during the game Singly with City on that

811
00:37:10,440 --> 00:37:13,400
Speaker 1: route all day and the double move to go deep

812
00:37:13,440 --> 00:37:16,440
Speaker 1: for Tyreek Hill would have been there all day and

813
00:37:16,480 --> 00:37:19,000
Speaker 1: they just never did it. Like this is an offense

814
00:37:19,040 --> 00:37:22,080
Speaker 1: that played inside of a box and they made it

815
00:37:22,160 --> 00:37:27,040
Speaker 1: work for most of the time that Tuatungo Iiloa has

816
00:37:27,080 --> 00:37:30,240
Speaker 1: returned since his injury. But they just can't hit anything

817
00:37:30,280 --> 00:37:33,000
Speaker 1: down the field. Everything is short. Jalen Waddle goes out

818
00:37:33,040 --> 00:37:36,160
Speaker 1: of this game with an injury, and Tyreek Hill did

819
00:37:36,239 --> 00:37:39,560
Speaker 1: not have a catch until midway through the third quarter.

820
00:37:39,680 --> 00:37:43,160
Speaker 1: So Stingley's is sitting on that route over and over again,

821
00:37:43,320 --> 00:37:45,759
Speaker 1: and he makes a great play while the Dolphins are

822
00:37:45,880 --> 00:37:48,080
Speaker 1: driving in a game that I thought they were gonna

823
00:37:48,120 --> 00:37:52,320
Speaker 1: steal because the Texans offense couldn't do anything. But ultimately

824
00:37:52,400 --> 00:37:57,520
Speaker 1: this was a true defensive battle shook between a defense

825
00:37:57,560 --> 00:38:00,839
Speaker 1: that's been borderline great all year and a defense that's

826
00:38:00,880 --> 00:38:03,480
Speaker 1: been good and just had its moments. And the one

827
00:38:03,480 --> 00:38:07,040
Speaker 1: that's been borderlined great, they just stepped up today and

828
00:38:07,080 --> 00:38:08,239
Speaker 1: they got the Texans a win.

829
00:38:08,920 --> 00:38:10,520
Speaker 6: And that's what it comes down to in a matchup

830
00:38:10,560 --> 00:38:12,480
Speaker 6: like this. And you're right, the Dolphins offense has been

831
00:38:12,520 --> 00:38:14,400
Speaker 6: playing in a box and for a while it worked.

832
00:38:14,440 --> 00:38:16,399
Speaker 6: I mean, we knew that the explosive play wasn't there,

833
00:38:16,400 --> 00:38:18,320
Speaker 6: but they were making it work with Tua and timing

834
00:38:18,360 --> 00:38:21,120
Speaker 6: and accuracy until today when he throws three interceptions. Because

835
00:38:21,120 --> 00:38:22,799
Speaker 6: they have to be one of the easier studies for

836
00:38:22,840 --> 00:38:25,080
Speaker 6: an opposing defense since two has been back, and I

837
00:38:25,080 --> 00:38:27,640
Speaker 6: think the Houston Texans definitely proved that today.

838
00:38:27,880 --> 00:38:29,800
Speaker 7: But this is that type of out.

839
00:38:29,640 --> 00:38:31,600
Speaker 6: Can we get from these two teams, because Houston still

840
00:38:31,800 --> 00:38:34,359
Speaker 6: can't find its way offensively, and yet they were able

841
00:38:34,400 --> 00:38:34,800
Speaker 6: to convert.

842
00:38:34,840 --> 00:38:35,080
Speaker 7: CJ.

843
00:38:35,120 --> 00:38:37,880
Speaker 6: Stroud throws a fantastic touchdown pass to Nico Collins, one

844
00:38:37,880 --> 00:38:40,040
Speaker 6: of those classic like nothing's there, nothing's there, I'm gonna

845
00:38:40,080 --> 00:38:41,960
Speaker 6: keep buying time. Oh I'm going to flick a wrist

846
00:38:42,200 --> 00:38:44,080
Speaker 6: and touch down the back of the end zone a Nico,

847
00:38:44,280 --> 00:38:45,799
Speaker 6: and that's all you ended up needing in a twenty

848
00:38:45,880 --> 00:38:49,160
Speaker 6: to twelve win. Now, Houston leaves a lot to be desired.

849
00:38:49,200 --> 00:38:50,920
Speaker 6: There's a lot to be concerned about with them. There

850
00:38:50,920 --> 00:38:53,319
Speaker 6: has been this entire season, especially offensively. But if their

851
00:38:53,360 --> 00:38:56,200
Speaker 6: defense can play this well against a number of different

852
00:38:56,200 --> 00:38:58,879
Speaker 6: opponents that maybe harder studies than the Dolphins in their

853
00:38:59,080 --> 00:39:01,480
Speaker 6: limited offense, then they're going to have a shot. And

854
00:39:01,560 --> 00:39:03,279
Speaker 6: especially because they're in a division like you said that

855
00:39:03,360 --> 00:39:05,400
Speaker 6: was up for grabs, but they're clearly in front of

856
00:39:05,719 --> 00:39:07,880
Speaker 6: So you come away feeling good about this win, you

857
00:39:07,960 --> 00:39:10,800
Speaker 6: still have your concerns about the Texans and the Dolphins meanwhile,

858
00:39:10,920 --> 00:39:13,279
Speaker 6: are looking at this like, oh no, there's the death blow.

859
00:39:13,280 --> 00:39:14,880
Speaker 6: We were going to try to mount this great comeback

860
00:39:14,920 --> 00:39:16,080
Speaker 6: and we might just be toast now.

861
00:39:16,640 --> 00:39:19,279
Speaker 8: And when you look over across the AFC, right and

862
00:39:19,560 --> 00:39:22,400
Speaker 8: these teams and what they have and where they're unique

863
00:39:22,440 --> 00:39:25,320
Speaker 8: and where they're different, this Derek Stingley performance and also

864
00:39:25,360 --> 00:39:29,719
Speaker 8: the Will Anderson performance as well, these Texans are going

865
00:39:29,760 --> 00:39:32,560
Speaker 8: to give somebody a problem, right because they are so

866
00:39:32,680 --> 00:39:35,560
Speaker 8: good in the ability right to cover and provide pressure.

867
00:39:35,760 --> 00:39:35,920
Speaker 13: Well.

868
00:39:35,920 --> 00:39:38,120
Speaker 9: Will Anderson was getting rid of the ball fast. He's

869
00:39:38,120 --> 00:39:39,440
Speaker 9: always gotten rid of the ball fast.

870
00:39:39,760 --> 00:39:43,880
Speaker 8: Will Anderson wins so early and strip Sacks's former teammate,

871
00:39:44,160 --> 00:39:48,640
Speaker 8: leading to a scoring opportunity where Houston can afford right

872
00:39:48,680 --> 00:39:51,960
Speaker 8: to be kind of regressed on offense and score on

873
00:39:52,200 --> 00:39:55,040
Speaker 8: these scrappy plays where you end up having Robert Woods

874
00:39:55,080 --> 00:39:58,000
Speaker 8: peel off to block Kalais Campbell and then he throws

875
00:39:58,040 --> 00:40:00,359
Speaker 8: and c J. Strout throws a touchdown pass and Nico

876
00:40:00,400 --> 00:40:03,320
Speaker 8: Collins the second of the day where they can afford

877
00:40:03,480 --> 00:40:06,160
Speaker 8: to have those types of problems, whereas Miami it felt

878
00:40:06,160 --> 00:40:09,080
Speaker 8: like they had to execute. They had to be just

879
00:40:09,320 --> 00:40:12,480
Speaker 8: so good and so precise to get these short completions

880
00:40:12,520 --> 00:40:15,600
Speaker 8: time after time after time where the clock just eventually

881
00:40:15,640 --> 00:40:16,399
Speaker 8: runs out on them.

882
00:40:16,600 --> 00:40:16,799
Speaker 5: Right.

883
00:40:17,160 --> 00:40:20,080
Speaker 1: The difference was the Texans took advantage when they got

884
00:40:20,080 --> 00:40:22,680
Speaker 1: down to the red zone. Their offense was basically do

885
00:40:22,800 --> 00:40:26,759
Speaker 1: something magical CJ. It was back to the offense from

886
00:40:26,800 --> 00:40:30,440
Speaker 1: the first six or seven weeks that was reasonably effective.

887
00:40:30,560 --> 00:40:31,920
Speaker 5: He just did it enough today.

888
00:40:31,800 --> 00:40:34,560
Speaker 1: They also set up a score on a drive where

889
00:40:34,719 --> 00:40:37,480
Speaker 1: he has a I think it was Zach Seeler is

890
00:40:37,560 --> 00:40:40,239
Speaker 1: draped all over him and he completes it to keep

891
00:40:40,280 --> 00:40:43,320
Speaker 1: the drive going. There was nothing to feel good about.

892
00:40:43,360 --> 00:40:46,919
Speaker 1: Otherwise they couldn't run the ball at all. Their stuff rate,

893
00:40:47,000 --> 00:40:49,040
Speaker 1: which it means you're getting stopped at the line of

894
00:40:49,080 --> 00:40:52,520
Speaker 1: scrimmage or behind, was way higher than their success rate

895
00:40:52,560 --> 00:40:54,520
Speaker 1: in terms of their running game. So Joe Mixon was

896
00:40:54,880 --> 00:40:57,120
Speaker 1: a ghost in this game. He had under two yards

897
00:40:57,520 --> 00:41:01,040
Speaker 1: per carry. C. J. Stroud was under heat quite a bit,

898
00:41:01,480 --> 00:41:04,880
Speaker 1: but to Patrick's point, so was Tua. Even though he

899
00:41:04,960 --> 00:41:08,520
Speaker 1: got rid of the ball pretty quickly. Daniel Hunter, I thought,

900
00:41:08,560 --> 00:41:11,560
Speaker 1: hadn't even better game than Anderson, who had a big

901
00:41:11,600 --> 00:41:13,920
Speaker 1: time splash play and also had a lot of pressures.

902
00:41:14,080 --> 00:41:18,080
Speaker 1: There was eleven quick pressures for the Texans, and it's

903
00:41:18,160 --> 00:41:20,600
Speaker 1: really hard to run an offense that way. The Dolphins

904
00:41:20,600 --> 00:41:24,320
Speaker 1: were missing both their starting tackles, which is important context,

905
00:41:24,320 --> 00:41:27,640
Speaker 1: and yet I didn't think that was that huge a.

906
00:41:27,600 --> 00:41:29,520
Speaker 5: Deal in the game, at least early on.

907
00:41:29,640 --> 00:41:32,160
Speaker 1: Like he was, he had some time to throw and

908
00:41:32,239 --> 00:41:34,759
Speaker 1: most of the pressure was coming through the middle, and

909
00:41:35,080 --> 00:41:37,440
Speaker 1: like I said, neither of these teams could do anything.

910
00:41:37,480 --> 00:41:39,640
Speaker 1: It was three point six yards per play. I think

911
00:41:39,640 --> 00:41:42,840
Speaker 1: the difference was as good as Tua has been in

912
00:41:43,040 --> 00:41:45,680
Speaker 1: creat a to a mode this season, like CJ. Stroud

913
00:41:45,800 --> 00:41:48,120
Speaker 1: was better at that today. Neither one of them had

914
00:41:48,160 --> 00:41:49,920
Speaker 1: a run game. Neither one of them were putting very

915
00:41:49,920 --> 00:41:53,080
Speaker 1: good position to succeed. It was not a pretty game whatsoever.

916
00:41:53,160 --> 00:41:56,600
Speaker 1: But the Texans had the home field advantage and they

917
00:41:56,680 --> 00:41:59,279
Speaker 1: seem like they've got a little something to them where

918
00:41:59,320 --> 00:42:00,440
Speaker 1: the Dolphins are just done.

919
00:42:00,520 --> 00:42:02,440
Speaker 8: And they did that, and they didn't have Joe Mixon

920
00:42:02,480 --> 00:42:04,360
Speaker 8: for a stretch in this game, because for the second

921
00:42:04,360 --> 00:42:07,799
Speaker 8: time this season, Joe Mixon has gotten clear clear as day.

922
00:42:07,840 --> 00:42:11,480
Speaker 8: HP tackled with no flag and so he's he was

923
00:42:11,520 --> 00:42:13,040
Speaker 8: able to get back in the game. But he just

924
00:42:13,080 --> 00:42:15,439
Speaker 8: finished with twenty three yards on the ground, a guy

925
00:42:15,440 --> 00:42:17,719
Speaker 8: who's had one hundred yards and a touchdown at seven

926
00:42:17,760 --> 00:42:19,920
Speaker 8: games this season and he's only played in ten.

927
00:42:19,800 --> 00:42:23,040
Speaker 5: Of Right, it was because of another hip drop tackle.

928
00:42:23,080 --> 00:42:25,480
Speaker 5: By the way, right, it was brutal.

929
00:42:25,800 --> 00:42:28,560
Speaker 1: There actually hasn't been I went to check this a

930
00:42:28,600 --> 00:42:31,719
Speaker 1: call on a hip drop tackle all season. So I

931
00:42:31,760 --> 00:42:33,920
Speaker 1: think it's just become something where they're going to find

932
00:42:34,680 --> 00:42:35,600
Speaker 1: players for it.

933
00:42:36,040 --> 00:42:37,440
Speaker 5: And it might be too.

934
00:42:37,280 --> 00:42:40,319
Speaker 1: Difficult for officials to call that in real time because

935
00:42:40,360 --> 00:42:43,280
Speaker 1: we saw a couple of big examples of it today.

936
00:42:43,280 --> 00:42:45,120
Speaker 1: Because what's the point of a rule where you can't

937
00:42:45,480 --> 00:42:47,440
Speaker 1: call it. I'm not really sure.

938
00:42:48,480 --> 00:42:50,719
Speaker 7: Add in replay assists, maybe you'll get that change.

939
00:42:50,800 --> 00:42:53,200
Speaker 5: YEP, I think I think that could be where we go.

940
00:42:53,280 --> 00:42:55,799
Speaker 9: But it seems like the obvious move right a lot

941
00:42:55,800 --> 00:42:56,360
Speaker 9: of things.

942
00:42:56,560 --> 00:42:57,200
Speaker 5: I agree.

943
00:42:58,160 --> 00:43:00,360
Speaker 1: CJ ends up with one hundred and thirty one yards

944
00:43:00,480 --> 00:43:04,440
Speaker 1: and two touchdowns through the air. Unfortunately, a big part

945
00:43:04,480 --> 00:43:06,520
Speaker 1: of the story of this game was the wide receiver

946
00:43:06,640 --> 00:43:11,040
Speaker 1: for the Miami Dolphins, Grant to Bo's who an injury

947
00:43:11,080 --> 00:43:15,919
Speaker 1: replacement after they released Odell Beckham since we last spoke

948
00:43:15,960 --> 00:43:18,800
Speaker 1: to you on Friday, so Odell Beckham is on waivers

949
00:43:18,800 --> 00:43:21,080
Speaker 1: by the way as we speak. But granted Bo's was

950
00:43:21,080 --> 00:43:25,040
Speaker 1: out there and took a really nasty hit over the

951
00:43:25,080 --> 00:43:29,680
Speaker 1: middle on a pass from Tua that put you know,

952
00:43:29,760 --> 00:43:32,280
Speaker 1: put to Bo's in a tough position, and Kaylen Bullock

953
00:43:32,320 --> 00:43:35,080
Speaker 1: came over the middle and hit him, you know, right

954
00:43:35,080 --> 00:43:38,200
Speaker 1: in the head, and his head kind of snapped back

955
00:43:38,200 --> 00:43:41,799
Speaker 1: and also hit the ground very hard. Was put on

956
00:43:41,840 --> 00:43:44,560
Speaker 1: a stretcher. They had to cut off his helmet, take

957
00:43:44,600 --> 00:43:47,440
Speaker 1: off his shirt, taken to the hospital. He's going to

958
00:43:47,480 --> 00:43:51,040
Speaker 1: stay over Sunday night. The Dolphins would just say that

959
00:43:51,120 --> 00:43:55,920
Speaker 1: they've had positive results and that he's stable and no

960
00:43:56,040 --> 00:43:59,200
Speaker 1: more information than that. So just sending our best, obviously

961
00:43:59,239 --> 00:44:02,319
Speaker 1: and hoping for the best for that young man and

962
00:44:02,400 --> 00:44:04,759
Speaker 1: his family. It was a really scary scene for the

963
00:44:04,800 --> 00:44:09,120
Speaker 1: Dolphins and Grandy Bo's today. All right, let's go to

964
00:44:09,880 --> 00:44:12,560
Speaker 1: our next segment. It's the time for the Sunday Drive

965
00:44:12,640 --> 00:44:16,319
Speaker 1: presented by the all new hybrid Toyota Camry. We're going

966
00:44:16,360 --> 00:44:19,640
Speaker 1: to Denver. When this game started, the Colts knew they

967
00:44:19,719 --> 00:44:23,000
Speaker 1: had to win the game to stay alive in the AFC.

968
00:44:23,040 --> 00:44:25,000
Speaker 5: South plods to.

969
00:44:25,040 --> 00:44:28,719
Speaker 7: The right, four receivers right, this is going to be

970
00:44:28,719 --> 00:44:29,399
Speaker 7: a double pass.

971
00:44:29,520 --> 00:44:30,560
Speaker 9: They throw it, completed it.

972
00:44:30,520 --> 00:44:35,680
Speaker 14: Throw back to Richardson, mister cantercepting, intercepting's in perto Peno

973
00:44:36,160 --> 00:44:43,840
Speaker 14: to there and so touchdown Tisser sixty years on the

974
00:44:43,920 --> 00:44:52,759
Speaker 14: pick six. This place is a madhouse.

975
00:44:54,800 --> 00:44:58,200
Speaker 1: The Broncos fans. I think we're going that crazy because

976
00:44:58,719 --> 00:45:01,000
Speaker 1: they're getting used to Nick. But you know, with these

977
00:45:01,120 --> 00:45:04,080
Speaker 1: pick sixes, they're throwing out defensive Player of the Year

978
00:45:04,200 --> 00:45:08,560
Speaker 1: candidate and it's not that crazy. Broncos win thirty one

979
00:45:08,680 --> 00:45:12,360
Speaker 1: to thirteen, and I think the intensity of that celebration,

980
00:45:13,040 --> 00:45:15,400
Speaker 1: and of course the call you heard by Dave Logan

981
00:45:15,560 --> 00:45:17,400
Speaker 1: on Ka was.

982
00:45:17,400 --> 00:45:19,040
Speaker 5: Because they didn't expect it.

983
00:45:19,840 --> 00:45:22,000
Speaker 1: They were down thirteen to seven in a game where

984
00:45:22,040 --> 00:45:25,920
Speaker 1: bo Knicks keeps throwing interceptions and it just doesn't feel

985
00:45:25,960 --> 00:45:30,040
Speaker 1: like the Broncos day. And then suddenly an avalanche of

986
00:45:30,160 --> 00:45:35,319
Speaker 1: points and it all happened, really got kickstarted Patrick after

987
00:45:35,480 --> 00:45:38,040
Speaker 1: Jonathan Taylor dropped that ball on what would have been

988
00:45:38,080 --> 00:45:38,520
Speaker 1: a long.

989
00:45:38,480 --> 00:45:42,160
Speaker 8: Touchdown, twenty four unanswered points and those two huge mistakes

990
00:45:42,160 --> 00:45:45,719
Speaker 8: by the Colts ends it dooms them as they kind

991
00:45:45,760 --> 00:45:48,560
Speaker 8: of severely wound their opportunity for a late season pushing

992
00:45:48,600 --> 00:45:54,040
Speaker 8: the AFC. The interceptions by Anthony Richardson of course held

993
00:45:54,120 --> 00:45:56,279
Speaker 8: him back as well. They wasted one of the worst

994
00:45:56,320 --> 00:45:59,160
Speaker 8: games that bow Nicks has played in two months for Denver.

995
00:45:59,280 --> 00:46:00,920
Speaker 9: When things look awkward in the backfield.

996
00:46:00,960 --> 00:46:04,799
Speaker 8: He had three interceptions, miscommunications, sideline arguments, the whole thing there.

997
00:46:05,120 --> 00:46:07,560
Speaker 8: He was pressured on less than eleven percent of his dropbacks,

998
00:46:08,200 --> 00:46:11,160
Speaker 8: and on those dropbacks without pressure, he was nineteen of thirty.

999
00:46:11,600 --> 00:46:14,640
Speaker 9: But the Colts led thirteen to seven in the third quarter.

1000
00:46:15,040 --> 00:46:17,080
Speaker 8: Jonathan Taylor on a play where he looks like twenty

1001
00:46:17,160 --> 00:46:20,640
Speaker 8: twenty two, Jonathan Taylor cuts it back, hits the sideline

1002
00:46:20,719 --> 00:46:24,040
Speaker 8: forty one yard touchdown. We've already left that game, and

1003
00:46:24,120 --> 00:46:27,400
Speaker 8: we're doing another highlight and I'm looking at the scoreboard

1004
00:46:27,440 --> 00:46:28,920
Speaker 8: and I'm like, why are their points not going on

1005
00:46:28,960 --> 00:46:31,319
Speaker 8: the scoreboard because he comes back.

1006
00:46:31,440 --> 00:46:32,439
Speaker 9: We come back to the game.

1007
00:46:32,840 --> 00:46:36,120
Speaker 8: Jonathan Taylor's arm swings back and he drops the ball

1008
00:46:36,200 --> 00:46:39,319
Speaker 8: a fraction of a second before crossing the goal line.

1009
00:46:39,840 --> 00:46:43,359
Speaker 8: And then after the Broncos score, they're leading by four

1010
00:46:43,520 --> 00:46:47,520
Speaker 8: when Nick Benito intercepts. What we think because we went

1011
00:46:47,560 --> 00:46:50,160
Speaker 8: back and looked at it was a screen to Anthony

1012
00:46:50,280 --> 00:46:52,880
Speaker 8: Richardson that the Colts set up, and that's why the

1013
00:46:52,920 --> 00:46:55,520
Speaker 8: offensive line didn't block Nick Benito. But it would have

1014
00:46:55,560 --> 00:46:57,719
Speaker 8: been great if they did, because then they would have

1015
00:46:57,840 --> 00:46:59,480
Speaker 8: a chance to win the ball game. But they just

1016
00:46:59,560 --> 00:47:02,960
Speaker 8: kind of let him go and disaster strikes and just

1017
00:47:03,760 --> 00:47:07,640
Speaker 8: we think about, like historically Colts trick plays that could

1018
00:47:07,680 --> 00:47:08,560
Speaker 8: go horribly wrong.

1019
00:47:09,320 --> 00:47:10,799
Speaker 9: This one was worse than that one.

1020
00:47:11,239 --> 00:47:13,040
Speaker 5: Yeah, because this one.

1021
00:47:13,760 --> 00:47:16,239
Speaker 9: Helps the season, like essentially end of the season today.

1022
00:47:16,600 --> 00:47:19,880
Speaker 1: Yeah, they are six and eight, they are out, the

1023
00:47:20,040 --> 00:47:25,040
Speaker 1: Houston Texans are the AFC South champions. The Colts can

1024
00:47:25,120 --> 00:47:32,000
Speaker 1: still potentially get a wild card if the Chargers collapse

1025
00:47:32,080 --> 00:47:35,440
Speaker 1: down the stretch. That's really their hope. That's the Bengals

1026
00:47:35,520 --> 00:47:38,040
Speaker 1: hope who will get to later. But the division race

1027
00:47:38,280 --> 00:47:42,880
Speaker 1: is over. And you feel for Jonathan Taylor, yeah, because

1028
00:47:43,520 --> 00:47:46,200
Speaker 1: they did not score another point after that. And it's

1029
00:47:46,239 --> 00:47:50,480
Speaker 1: not like they didn't get opportunities. They got eight more

1030
00:47:50,680 --> 00:47:54,840
Speaker 1: drives after that, and that was a third quarter fumble,

1031
00:47:55,360 --> 00:47:58,959
Speaker 1: and yet they actually had negative yardage for their next

1032
00:47:59,080 --> 00:48:03,360
Speaker 1: five drives, which included a couple fumbles, Richardson throws an

1033
00:48:03,400 --> 00:48:07,160
Speaker 1: interception at one point. It was kind of a full

1034
00:48:07,280 --> 00:48:10,920
Speaker 1: team collapse, And to Denver's credit, they are kind of

1035
00:48:10,960 --> 00:48:14,000
Speaker 1: the team, to me shook this season that lets other

1036
00:48:14,080 --> 00:48:17,480
Speaker 1: teams collapse in front of them. And even though Nicks

1037
00:48:18,680 --> 00:48:22,239
Speaker 1: had a terrible game, like the defense, which has been

1038
00:48:22,320 --> 00:48:25,759
Speaker 1: so good all year, stood up strong after that Taylor play. Man,

1039
00:48:25,800 --> 00:48:27,480
Speaker 1: it's hard not to go back to that player Taylor

1040
00:48:27,520 --> 00:48:29,360
Speaker 1: play and wonder what would have been because it was

1041
00:48:29,400 --> 00:48:31,359
Speaker 1: twenty would have been twenty to seven at that point.

1042
00:48:31,920 --> 00:48:33,640
Speaker 6: Yeah, I mean, that's not the best compliment to give

1043
00:48:33,640 --> 00:48:35,160
Speaker 6: a team that's in the playoff fin I know Broncos

1044
00:48:35,200 --> 00:48:37,120
Speaker 6: fans will bristle at that, but it's accurate. I mean,

1045
00:48:37,200 --> 00:48:38,480
Speaker 6: if you look at their last two wins, it was

1046
00:48:38,480 --> 00:48:39,800
Speaker 6: against the Raiders and the Browns. We know how that

1047
00:48:39,840 --> 00:48:43,400
Speaker 6: Browns game ended with a pick six. Look, this is

1048
00:48:43,600 --> 00:48:45,320
Speaker 6: an example of a team like the Colts that have

1049
00:48:45,400 --> 00:48:48,120
Speaker 6: been grasping in straws all year. We had the carousel

1050
00:48:48,120 --> 00:48:50,839
Speaker 6: at quarterback, going to Joe Flacco thinking that was gonna work.

1051
00:48:50,880 --> 00:48:52,759
Speaker 6: It didn't go back to Richardson, and what you've gotten

1052
00:48:52,800 --> 00:48:55,600
Speaker 6: from him is spectacular play in small bits and a

1053
00:48:55,680 --> 00:48:58,160
Speaker 6: lot of uneven play in other areas, at which point

1054
00:48:58,239 --> 00:49:00,919
Speaker 6: you then say, let's run a trick play to maybe

1055
00:49:00,960 --> 00:49:02,880
Speaker 6: set up a screen for our quarterback who may be

1056
00:49:02,920 --> 00:49:04,520
Speaker 6: a better runner than he is a thrower right now,

1057
00:49:04,560 --> 00:49:06,520
Speaker 6: because we don't know what else to do. And I

1058
00:49:06,560 --> 00:49:09,080
Speaker 6: think it starts with a mistake like Taylor fumbing the

1059
00:49:09,120 --> 00:49:10,680
Speaker 6: balt Of goal on which, by the way, not the

1060
00:49:10,760 --> 00:49:13,319
Speaker 6: only instance which that happened today. We'll get to that later,

1061
00:49:13,960 --> 00:49:16,000
Speaker 6: and then you just kind of it compounds from there,

1062
00:49:16,239 --> 00:49:18,560
Speaker 6: and it's a team that is six and eight. Essentially

1063
00:49:18,600 --> 00:49:21,040
Speaker 6: they defined their record with the way they conducted themselves today.

1064
00:49:21,239 --> 00:49:23,400
Speaker 6: It's unfortunate because I think they're more talented than that

1065
00:49:23,719 --> 00:49:25,480
Speaker 6: when Shane Stycken is a good coach, But what a

1066
00:49:25,719 --> 00:49:28,840
Speaker 6: bad decision in that situation to give that team that

1067
00:49:29,000 --> 00:49:31,359
Speaker 6: much juice on a day in which they weren't playing

1068
00:49:31,360 --> 00:49:33,239
Speaker 6: well to begin with. But credit to the Broncos, you know,

1069
00:49:33,280 --> 00:49:35,640
Speaker 6: they finished the game strong. They just needed somebody to

1070
00:49:35,680 --> 00:49:36,400
Speaker 6: help them break the day.

1071
00:49:36,600 --> 00:49:40,319
Speaker 1: Credit to Benito, especially because he ran He just said,

1072
00:49:40,680 --> 00:49:42,799
Speaker 1: like if that was a screen, he said, he read

1073
00:49:42,840 --> 00:49:45,480
Speaker 1: it like that, like why are they throwing that backwards?

1074
00:49:45,719 --> 00:49:46,040
Speaker 9: Literally?

1075
00:49:46,400 --> 00:49:48,480
Speaker 8: Even the Colts even read it better than the Colts

1076
00:49:48,560 --> 00:49:51,839
Speaker 8: who were running the play. He was more aware than

1077
00:49:51,880 --> 00:49:55,040
Speaker 8: literally anybody on the field, including perhaps maybe the Colts coaching.

1078
00:49:55,080 --> 00:49:58,720
Speaker 1: Still right, And the crazy thing is after the tailor

1079
00:49:59,760 --> 00:50:03,280
Speaker 1: you know, drop fumble, you figure, okay, that then that's

1080
00:50:03,320 --> 00:50:06,239
Speaker 1: gonna swing the game. Denver must have taken advantage. No,

1081
00:50:06,520 --> 00:50:09,960
Speaker 1: they go four and out, they give their ball right back.

1082
00:50:10,400 --> 00:50:14,320
Speaker 1: The Colts then go three and out, give it right back. Well, okay, surely,

1083
00:50:14,400 --> 00:50:16,800
Speaker 1: now it's when the Broncos get going. No, that's actually

1084
00:50:16,840 --> 00:50:20,799
Speaker 1: when Bo Knicks threw his third interception. The very next play,

1085
00:50:21,360 --> 00:50:24,800
Speaker 1: Michael Pittman fumbles the ball to give the Broncos the

1086
00:50:24,880 --> 00:50:28,640
Speaker 1: ball back. And okay, now finally Bo Knicks in this offense,

1087
00:50:28,640 --> 00:50:30,440
Speaker 1: they're going to take advantage. Nope, they go three and

1088
00:50:30,520 --> 00:50:32,279
Speaker 1: out and kick a field goal. So it was just

1089
00:50:32,560 --> 00:50:34,560
Speaker 1: in a punt their next position. It was like chance

1090
00:50:34,600 --> 00:50:37,440
Speaker 1: after chance after chance. So it's hard to know, like

1091
00:50:37,600 --> 00:50:40,279
Speaker 1: who to blame here, I don't even know, but I

1092
00:50:40,600 --> 00:50:43,000
Speaker 1: do know that you give the Broncos defense credit for

1093
00:50:43,080 --> 00:50:43,960
Speaker 1: how they closed out this.

1094
00:50:44,160 --> 00:50:47,320
Speaker 9: Yeah they did, and Locke was the player who got that.

1095
00:50:48,200 --> 00:50:50,840
Speaker 8: It was almost like not necessarily helmet on the football

1096
00:50:51,239 --> 00:50:53,759
Speaker 8: on MPJ, but it was more of a shoulder pad

1097
00:50:54,000 --> 00:50:56,200
Speaker 8: where pushed his arm back and the ball flies out

1098
00:50:56,280 --> 00:51:00,680
Speaker 8: that the Broncos recover. It's a it's off to make

1099
00:51:00,760 --> 00:51:03,400
Speaker 8: plays against this Broncos defense. I mean, we saw Jamis

1100
00:51:03,440 --> 00:51:05,359
Speaker 8: do it, but we also saw James turn the ball

1101
00:51:05,400 --> 00:51:08,319
Speaker 8: over right doing it on some very dangerous passes, which

1102
00:51:08,360 --> 00:51:10,520
Speaker 8: is what Vance Joseph puts you in position to do.

1103
00:51:11,120 --> 00:51:13,120
Speaker 8: And the way that this Colts team has operated all

1104
00:51:13,200 --> 00:51:16,320
Speaker 8: season long, where it's you know, they're either running the

1105
00:51:16,360 --> 00:51:20,239
Speaker 8: ball or they're taking deep shots like low completion probability

1106
00:51:20,280 --> 00:51:24,120
Speaker 8: shots where it all turns out kind of in the

1107
00:51:24,160 --> 00:51:26,520
Speaker 8: way you expected, where they have this high variance of

1108
00:51:26,560 --> 00:51:29,279
Speaker 8: outcomes and when it works, it looks great, but when

1109
00:51:29,320 --> 00:51:30,920
Speaker 8: it doesn't, it looks absolutely horrible.

1110
00:51:31,120 --> 00:51:33,240
Speaker 9: And it just didn't work for long stretches.

1111
00:51:33,400 --> 00:51:37,240
Speaker 1: Yeah, bo Nicks ends up two for eight on passes

1112
00:51:37,280 --> 00:51:41,759
Speaker 1: over ten yards for thirty three yards, two for eight

1113
00:51:41,840 --> 00:51:44,760
Speaker 1: for thirty three yards, does get two touchdowns, but throws

1114
00:51:44,800 --> 00:51:47,600
Speaker 1: all three interceptions. The intermedia area especially rough, it was

1115
00:51:47,680 --> 00:51:49,239
Speaker 1: very similar. Actually, I was looking at the next gen

1116
00:51:49,280 --> 00:51:52,040
Speaker 1: sets Tatua's numbers over ten yards. He was three for

1117
00:51:52,160 --> 00:51:55,040
Speaker 1: ten with an interception. Just couldn't get anything going except

1118
00:51:55,120 --> 00:51:59,320
Speaker 1: for the short stuff. And yet they are basically locked

1119
00:51:59,360 --> 00:52:02,319
Speaker 1: in the playoffs now at nine and five, so they

1120
00:52:02,400 --> 00:52:05,160
Speaker 1: move up to the sixth seed. I wanted to circle

1121
00:52:05,239 --> 00:52:07,080
Speaker 1: back on what was happening with the Ravens too. They

1122
00:52:07,120 --> 00:52:09,920
Speaker 1: are at the five seed. They are one back of

1123
00:52:10,120 --> 00:52:12,480
Speaker 1: the Steelers. They have a much better chance the Ravens

1124
00:52:12,560 --> 00:52:13,840
Speaker 1: do of now catching the Steelers.

1125
00:52:14,160 --> 00:52:15,000
Speaker 5: For the division.

1126
00:52:15,360 --> 00:52:18,320
Speaker 1: The Broncos are at nine and five at six the Chargers,

1127
00:52:18,360 --> 00:52:21,120
Speaker 1: who they play on Thursday Night that's a big game,

1128
00:52:21,239 --> 00:52:23,800
Speaker 1: are at eight and six. According to Next Gen Stats,

1129
00:52:24,000 --> 00:52:26,480
Speaker 1: the Broncos have a ninety one percent chance to make

1130
00:52:26,520 --> 00:52:29,919
Speaker 1: the playoffs. The Chargers have an eighty seven percent chance

1131
00:52:30,280 --> 00:52:33,880
Speaker 1: to make the playoffs. The Colts, Dolphins, and Bengals are

1132
00:52:33,960 --> 00:52:37,520
Speaker 1: all ten percent and under, down to six percent for

1133
00:52:37,600 --> 00:52:40,799
Speaker 1: the Bengals. So if one of those three teams could

1134
00:52:40,880 --> 00:52:44,279
Speaker 1: catch fire and get to nine wins, it's possible they

1135
00:52:44,320 --> 00:52:46,760
Speaker 1: could win a tiebreaker over the Chargers of the Chargers

1136
00:52:46,960 --> 00:52:49,520
Speaker 1: stumble down the stretch and only get one win, which

1137
00:52:49,600 --> 00:52:53,560
Speaker 1: is it's certainly on the table. That was the Sunday

1138

Speaker 1: Drive presented by the All New hybrid Toyota Camra. Whatever

1140
00:53:01,000 --> 00:53:05,719
Speaker 1: dot com slash camery. Yes, the Chargers they had a

1141
00:53:05,840 --> 00:53:08,080
Speaker 1: data forget across the sidewalk.

1142
00:53:07,719 --> 00:53:08,759
Speaker 7: Shotgun looked the past.

1143
00:53:08,920 --> 00:53:11,240
Speaker 12: Mayfield looking, goes the ball downfield toward Evans.

1144
00:53:11,360 --> 00:53:13,040
Speaker 5: He makes the catch, touchdown.

1145
00:53:13,320 --> 00:53:17,160
Speaker 16: Tampa Bay Buccaneers with Mike Evans two catches and the

1146
00:53:17,239 --> 00:53:18,160
Speaker 16: promised man today.

1147
00:53:18,520 --> 00:53:20,920
Speaker 7: Want to throw by Mayfield on third down a dozen.

1148
00:53:21,520 --> 00:53:25,959
Speaker 1: Geene Decker haff with a thirty five yard touchdown throw

1149
00:53:26,520 --> 00:53:31,040
Speaker 1: to Mike Evans. Part of a magical day for Mike Evans.

1150
00:53:31,080 --> 00:53:34,799
Speaker 1: Forget about the injury report. He went nine for one

1151
00:53:34,960 --> 00:53:39,720
Speaker 1: f nine and two touchdowns. Thousand yard paces back on, Patrick.

1152
00:53:39,640 --> 00:53:43,640
Speaker 8: Oh, back on in full effect as the drive summaries

1153
00:53:43,680 --> 00:53:46,040
Speaker 8: in the second half. How about this from Tampa Bay,

1154
00:53:46,200 --> 00:53:49,280
Speaker 8: say finished forty to seventeen. You think this will sustain

1155
00:53:49,360 --> 00:53:51,759
Speaker 8: the whole way? No, there was an interception in a

1156
00:53:51,800 --> 00:53:54,600
Speaker 8: field goal consecutively in the first half, second half, touchdown

1157
00:53:54,640 --> 00:53:57,439
Speaker 8: field goal, touchdown, touchdown, field goal, end of game.

1158
00:53:58,000 --> 00:53:59,319
Speaker 9: Baker Mayfield got hot.

1159
00:53:59,600 --> 00:54:01,399
Speaker 8: He got picked off by your guy t tar heap

1160
00:54:01,480 --> 00:54:05,480
Speaker 8: still and decided never again. Firing these balls to Mike Evans,

1161
00:54:05,880 --> 00:54:09,040
Speaker 8: and on the other side, the Chargers offense just kind

1162
00:54:09,080 --> 00:54:12,839
Speaker 8: of wilted and went away and did essentially nothing as

1163
00:54:12,920 --> 00:54:16,960
Speaker 8: the game ended, justin Herbert took a shot to his ankles.

1164
00:54:17,160 --> 00:54:19,960
Speaker 9: Oh in this game, slow to get up after that.

1165
00:54:20,560 --> 00:54:23,560
Speaker 8: Just a very uninspiring game from the Chargers offense at

1166
00:54:23,640 --> 00:54:26,400
Speaker 8: home in a week that had so much opportunity with

1167
00:54:26,520 --> 00:54:29,600
Speaker 8: the Broncos playing in that game against the Colts, They've

1168
00:54:29,680 --> 00:54:32,239
Speaker 8: got a game in the same window, and it was

1169
00:54:32,320 --> 00:54:36,239
Speaker 8: really just very, very disappointing versus a Bucks team that

1170
00:54:36,480 --> 00:54:39,279
Speaker 8: now can watch the Monday night football game for the

1171
00:54:39,320 --> 00:54:40,959
Speaker 8: Falcons essentially without worry.

1172
00:54:41,080 --> 00:54:42,520
Speaker 9: Only good can come out of that for them.

1173
00:54:42,719 --> 00:54:45,279
Speaker 1: Yeah, they could take a commanding two game lead in

1174
00:54:45,320 --> 00:54:48,040
Speaker 1: the division if the Falcons wind up losing that It's.

1175
00:54:47,920 --> 00:54:49,360
Speaker 5: Not like this was a blot throughout.

1176
00:54:49,960 --> 00:54:52,600
Speaker 1: The Bucks needed a field goal late in the second

1177
00:54:52,680 --> 00:54:57,400
Speaker 1: quarter to make the halftime score Chargers seventeen, Bucks thirteen.

1178
00:54:58,000 --> 00:55:01,680
Speaker 1: And to Liam Cohen's credit and Baker Mayfield's credit, this

1179
00:55:01,760 --> 00:55:05,520
Speaker 1: team has been so hot starting games all year, and

1180
00:55:05,640 --> 00:55:09,000
Speaker 1: they were fine starting games, but Baker had that interception

1181
00:55:09,120 --> 00:55:12,320
Speaker 1: starting this game. But they figured some things out This

1182
00:55:12,440 --> 00:55:15,440
Speaker 1: is only the third time in Jim Harbaugh's coaching history

1183
00:55:15,480 --> 00:55:18,160
Speaker 1: that his team's giving up over five hundred yards. It

1184
00:55:18,239 --> 00:55:21,560
Speaker 1: was only eight yards away from the worst game that

1185
00:55:21,680 --> 00:55:27,200
Speaker 1: an NFL team that he coached had. And this Bucks offense,

1186
00:55:27,560 --> 00:55:30,800
Speaker 1: despite not having Evans for much of the season, despite

1187
00:55:30,920 --> 00:55:34,320
Speaker 1: not having Godwin for most of the season, is a

1188
00:55:34,400 --> 00:55:38,520
Speaker 1: legit top five offense. And if they can get defensive

1189
00:55:38,560 --> 00:55:40,360
Speaker 1: play like this, I know they were going against a

1190
00:55:40,400 --> 00:55:41,879
Speaker 1: wounded animal a little bit here.

1191
00:55:42,760 --> 00:55:45,439
Speaker 5: They are kind of that team you don't want to face.

1192
00:55:45,520 --> 00:55:48,120
Speaker 1: And there are some numbers that show since about Week nine,

1193
00:55:48,400 --> 00:55:51,600
Speaker 1: their run defense has bounced back quite a bit. It's

1194
00:55:51,760 --> 00:55:53,799
Speaker 1: partly because of their schedule, but it's bounced back quite

1195
00:55:53,840 --> 00:55:56,200
Speaker 1: a bit. And their pressure rate and they're sending lots

1196
00:55:56,239 --> 00:55:57,880
Speaker 1: of pressure shook. They're not getting winning a lot of

1197
00:55:57,920 --> 00:56:00,680
Speaker 1: one ones, but their pressure rate has you know, gone

1198
00:56:00,719 --> 00:56:02,640
Speaker 1: through the roof over the last four or five weeks,

1199
00:56:02,680 --> 00:56:06,560
Speaker 1: and lately the underlying metrics show that this team is

1200
00:56:06,640 --> 00:56:08,080
Speaker 1: one of the best teams in football.

1201
00:56:08,840 --> 00:56:09,879
Speaker 7: Yeah, although it didn't today.

1202
00:56:09,920 --> 00:56:12,600
Speaker 6: They only recorded ten pressures for a percentage of twenty seven,

1203
00:56:12,760 --> 00:56:16,279
Speaker 6: but that didn't matter because they capitalized against an offense

1204
00:56:16,320 --> 00:56:18,120
Speaker 6: This has been my fear. You talk about wounded animal.

1205
00:56:18,320 --> 00:56:19,799
Speaker 6: This has been my fear at the Chargers for a while.

1206
00:56:19,880 --> 00:56:22,080
Speaker 6: You don't have JK. Dobbins, you have no running game

1207
00:56:22,160 --> 00:56:24,760
Speaker 6: to speak of. You get Lad McCaughey back, he catches

1208
00:56:24,840 --> 00:56:27,080
Speaker 6: five passes for fifty eight yards in a touchdown, but

1209
00:56:27,200 --> 00:56:29,719
Speaker 6: your offense just enters a massive run. You want to

1210
00:56:29,760 --> 00:56:33,040
Speaker 6: talk about being a drive chart guy. While those drives

1211
00:56:33,160 --> 00:56:35,400
Speaker 6: that Patrick just listed all the touchdown and field goal

1212
00:56:35,440 --> 00:56:37,799
Speaker 6: and touchdown good stuff on the On the Chargers side,

1213
00:56:37,880 --> 00:56:41,920
Speaker 6: we got punt, punt, interception, down downs, fumble. This is

1214
00:56:42,040 --> 00:56:44,320
Speaker 6: the dark side of what the Chargers offense could be

1215
00:56:44,600 --> 00:56:46,880
Speaker 6: if they're not able to establish a rhythm early, and

1216
00:56:46,960 --> 00:56:48,480
Speaker 6: that's in a game that was still only a four

1217
00:56:48,560 --> 00:56:51,240
Speaker 6: point game just before halftime. That's where I get concerned

1218
00:56:51,239 --> 00:56:53,640
Speaker 6: about them. I feel like they're ceiling remains low, especially

1219
00:56:53,680 --> 00:56:55,279
Speaker 6: when they don't have the ground game to speak of,

1220
00:56:55,360 --> 00:56:57,960
Speaker 6: which is why I wouldn't quite settle the AFC playoff

1221
00:56:58,040 --> 00:57:00,440
Speaker 6: race just yet. And against the Buccaneers team that I

1222
00:57:00,440 --> 00:57:02,520
Speaker 6: think we've known this all year. This is their potential.

1223
00:57:02,560 --> 00:57:04,719
Speaker 6: You said it weeks ago. They're at offensive team first,

1224
00:57:04,760 --> 00:57:06,959
Speaker 6: and they need to embrace that well, they certainly.

1225
00:57:06,680 --> 00:57:07,680
Speaker 7: Embraced it today.

1226
00:57:08,000 --> 00:57:10,760
Speaker 6: And Baker Mayfield finally gets past his streak of throwing

1227
00:57:10,840 --> 00:57:13,320
Speaker 6: picks and you know, trying to make something out of

1228
00:57:13,400 --> 00:57:15,800
Speaker 6: nothing too often. Instead he lights it up and the

1229
00:57:15,840 --> 00:57:16,760
Speaker 6: Buccaneers are looking.

1230
00:57:16,880 --> 00:57:19,800
Speaker 1: Enjoy it, kind of crush like jump up on the table, Patrick,

1231
00:57:19,880 --> 00:57:20,120
Speaker 1: I know.

1232
00:57:20,280 --> 00:57:22,280
Speaker 8: Touf on the table. I'm just wondering because you're looking

1233
00:57:22,320 --> 00:57:24,760
Speaker 8: at me. Yeah, I don't have an apology to offer

1234
00:57:24,960 --> 00:57:28,640
Speaker 8: to MV Baker. They got a great ah, they got

1235
00:57:29,080 --> 00:57:33,560
Speaker 8: MVB y MVB. But there was a great rep where

1236
00:57:33,640 --> 00:57:37,560
Speaker 8: on the first Mike Evans touchdown where you just see

1237
00:57:37,760 --> 00:57:40,439
Speaker 8: how this offense can operate when they protect Baker, because

1238
00:57:40,480 --> 00:57:43,560
Speaker 8: when Baker is protected, he doesn't necessarily file if they

1239
00:57:43,600 --> 00:57:45,600
Speaker 8: handle it and do all these try hard and do

1240
00:57:45,720 --> 00:57:48,120
Speaker 8: too much plays where when you see it in rhythm,

1241
00:57:48,760 --> 00:57:51,800
Speaker 8: it's it's beautiful. It's a beautiful machine. And that's how

1242
00:57:51,840 --> 00:57:54,120
Speaker 8: you get twenty two of twenty seven for four touchdowns

1243
00:57:54,160 --> 00:57:54,960
Speaker 8: with that one mistake.

1244
00:57:55,160 --> 00:57:56,960
Speaker 1: He is so good when getting rid of the ball

1245
00:57:57,160 --> 00:58:00,880
Speaker 1: at the back of his drive and it's similar, but

1246
00:58:01,000 --> 00:58:04,440
Speaker 1: I think more fun to watch than Tua. The way

1247
00:58:04,560 --> 00:58:07,720
Speaker 1: this offense has been running. I think Liam Cohen, for instance,

1248
00:58:07,800 --> 00:58:09,400
Speaker 1: like I think he's done a better as good a

1249
00:58:09,560 --> 00:58:12,919
Speaker 1: job as as any offensive coordinator out there. Like even

1250
00:58:12,920 --> 00:58:14,840
Speaker 1: the Jalen McMillan touchdown. I mean, this guy's just a

1251
00:58:14,920 --> 00:58:18,840
Speaker 1: touchdown machine at this point. That speaks a little bit

1252
00:58:19,000 --> 00:58:22,640
Speaker 1: to the scheme is creating open receivers sometimes. I mean

1253
00:58:22,720 --> 00:58:26,960
Speaker 1: McMillan had no one anywhere near him because they executed

1254
00:58:26,960 --> 00:58:30,000
Speaker 1: a perfect rub. But also Mayfield, you know, he doesn't

1255
00:58:30,040 --> 00:58:32,320
Speaker 1: put too much air under that ball, and he hits

1256
00:58:32,400 --> 00:58:35,320
Speaker 1: McMillan in stride with some good velocity and he just

1257
00:58:35,440 --> 00:58:39,200
Speaker 1: makes it look easy. Over ten yards per throw for

1258
00:58:39,320 --> 00:58:42,360
Speaker 1: Baker today, Bucky Irving returned in this game, and yeah,

1259
00:58:42,400 --> 00:58:44,919
Speaker 1: they ended up with two twenty three on the ground,

1260
00:58:44,960 --> 00:58:47,680
Speaker 1: twenty five from Baker, including a twenty yard scamper, Like

1261
00:58:47,880 --> 00:58:50,080
Speaker 1: he'll throw that in there. Rashad White, you know, one

1262
00:58:50,120 --> 00:58:52,680
Speaker 1: of the better receiving backs in the league. This This

1263
00:58:52,800 --> 00:58:54,960
Speaker 1: Bucks team is eight and six, and yes, the Chargers

1264
00:58:55,040 --> 00:58:57,280
Speaker 1: only three games left. We'll talk about them a lot

1265
00:58:57,280 --> 00:58:59,520
Speaker 1: this week because they're on Thursday night and that's a

1266
00:58:59,560 --> 00:59:01,280
Speaker 1: big game. We got men A Cimes on the show.

1267
00:59:01,320 --> 00:59:03,360
Speaker 1: That's going to be a really fun one they do

1268
00:59:03,600 --> 00:59:08,920
Speaker 1: finish after that game with Patriots and Raiders.

1269
00:59:08,720 --> 00:59:12,200
Speaker 6: And oh they need that, Oh they need opened the

1270
00:59:12,240 --> 00:59:14,240
Speaker 6: door because I have something to offer to you. Greg, Okay,

1271
00:59:14,360 --> 00:59:16,600
Speaker 6: the number one Baker hater. We got to commission a

1272
00:59:16,640 --> 00:59:20,200
Speaker 6: group of third or fourth graders to compose some sort

1273
00:59:20,200 --> 00:59:22,720
Speaker 6: of construction paper hat that you have to wear on

1274
00:59:22,800 --> 00:59:25,440
Speaker 6: the show. If Baker Mayfield throws for forty touchdown passes,

1275
00:59:25,480 --> 00:59:28,440
Speaker 6: he just got passed his season high his twenty eight

1276
00:59:28,480 --> 00:59:29,560
Speaker 6: touchdown passes last year.

1277
00:59:29,720 --> 00:59:30,360
Speaker 9: He just broke that.

1278
00:59:30,440 --> 00:59:32,560
Speaker 6: Today he hits forty. We got to get them to

1279
00:59:32,600 --> 00:59:34,080
Speaker 6: make you a hat you gotta wear on the show.

1280
00:59:34,360 --> 00:59:36,280
Speaker 5: What is that even? What is that a hat? Okay,

1281
00:59:36,360 --> 00:59:37,240
Speaker 5: send me a paper.

1282
00:59:37,040 --> 00:59:38,680
Speaker 7: Hack and wear your crowd that was Brown is the

1283
00:59:38,680 --> 00:59:39,480
Speaker 7: biggest Baker hater.

1284
00:59:40,440 --> 00:59:42,200
Speaker 5: I am not the biggest Baker hater. I'm not a

1285
00:59:42,240 --> 00:59:43,400
Speaker 5: Baker hater at all.

1286
00:59:43,600 --> 00:59:46,120
Speaker 1: All I was was pushing back on the MVP talk

1287
00:59:46,200 --> 00:59:47,880
Speaker 1: and he was he was just driving me a little

1288
00:59:47,920 --> 00:59:50,320
Speaker 1: crazy lately. No, their schedule, that was the Chargers schedule,

1289
00:59:50,320 --> 00:59:53,680
Speaker 1: I was. I was reading, So they're gonna like the

1290
00:59:54,400 --> 00:59:56,760
Speaker 1: Bengals or the Dolphins, any team that wants to try

1291
00:59:56,760 --> 00:59:58,439
Speaker 1: to run the table and hope for a Chargers loss

1292
00:59:58,520 --> 01:00:02,520
Speaker 1: is gonna need a Patriots or Raiders home win most

1293
01:00:02,680 --> 01:00:05,800
Speaker 1: likely or certainly on Thursday Night, they're gonna need a

1294
01:00:05,880 --> 01:00:08,439
Speaker 1: Broncos win. The Bucks, on the other hand, are gonna

1295
01:00:08,440 --> 01:00:10,800
Speaker 1: be heavy favorites their final three games. The Falcons are

1296
01:00:10,840 --> 01:00:13,600
Speaker 1: in a world of for now. They are at Dallas

1297
01:00:13,800 --> 01:00:16,640
Speaker 1: on Sunday Night football, assuming that stays there in Week

1298
01:00:16,720 --> 01:00:20,080
Speaker 1: sixteen and then Panthers and Bucks to end the season.

1299
01:00:20,160 --> 01:00:21,960
Speaker 1: Doesn't mean they get through all those games, but they

1300
01:00:22,000 --> 01:00:23,040
Speaker 1: will be favored in all of them.

1301
01:00:23,120 --> 01:00:24,560
Speaker 7: The performance are making those hats.

1302
01:00:24,680 --> 01:00:28,040
Speaker 8: Yeah, the performance by the Chargers today, I understand it's

1303
01:00:28,200 --> 01:00:31,400
Speaker 8: it's the Raiders at a late season game against Jack

1304
01:00:31,480 --> 01:00:32,280
Speaker 8: May and the Patriots.

1305
01:00:32,760 --> 01:00:35,240
Speaker 9: I wouldn't chalk those up at the No.

1306
01:00:35,360 --> 01:00:36,400
Speaker 5: No, they can loseen to anyone.

1307
01:00:36,640 --> 01:00:37,400
Speaker 9: Chargers today.

1308
01:00:38,240 --> 01:00:40,840
Speaker 1: Yeah, for their defense to get exposed like that, Joey

1309
01:00:40,880 --> 01:00:43,000
Speaker 1: Bosa has not given them anything. They had another injury,

1310
01:00:43,040 --> 01:00:46,280
Speaker 1: Cam Heart left at cornerback, and then their offense it

1311
01:00:46,360 --> 01:00:51,880
Speaker 1: felt to me like Lad McConkie is great, but he's like,

1312
01:00:52,360 --> 01:00:55,360
Speaker 1: I don't know how many drives ended with an incompletion

1313
01:00:55,520 --> 01:00:57,960
Speaker 1: to mcconkeye because there's no one else to throw to

1314
01:00:58,080 --> 01:01:01,760
Speaker 1: and Herbert's just trying to give his one guy a shot.

1315
01:01:01,920 --> 01:01:05,240
Speaker 1: So the Chargers lose, and that was good news for

1316
01:01:05,320 --> 01:01:08,240
Speaker 1: Bengals fans who have not last lost hope. Let's go

1317
01:01:08,280 --> 01:01:08,720
Speaker 1: to Tennessee.

1318
01:01:08,840 --> 01:01:12,560
Speaker 12: Levis under center again, turns around, fakes a handoff to Pollard,

1319
01:01:12,640 --> 01:01:13,000
Speaker 12: wants to.

1320
01:01:13,040 --> 01:01:15,960
Speaker 9: Throw fires holder Stone bating it back.

1321
01:01:16,160 --> 01:01:19,400
Speaker 7: Gino's at the twenty five twenty battle in front to block.

1322
01:01:19,560 --> 01:01:23,560
Speaker 5: He's to the ten the five to the doll line, touchdown.

1323
01:01:25,000 --> 01:01:30,760
Speaker 13: Bendals Ginos Stone with a peck six and the Bengals

1324
01:01:30,800 --> 01:01:32,960
Speaker 13: have their fourth takeaway.

1325
01:01:32,480 --> 01:01:32,920
Speaker 9: Of the day.

1326
01:01:33,520 --> 01:01:37,480
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, you know Joe Burrow, he's great in all

1327
01:01:37,560 --> 01:01:40,160
Speaker 1: but let's give the Bengals defense some love.

1328
01:01:40,360 --> 01:01:45,280
Speaker 5: Dan Horde, Dave Lapham, w c k Y.

1329
01:01:46,920 --> 01:01:50,320
Speaker 1: Will Levis I think had about thirteen fourteen dropbacks in

1330
01:01:50,400 --> 01:01:50,720
Speaker 1: this game.

1331
01:01:51,080 --> 01:01:54,120
Speaker 5: He had four turnovers, so that's that's not a good thing.

1332
01:01:54,280 --> 01:01:58,560
Speaker 1: The Bengals get the victory thirty seven to twenty seven.

1333
01:01:59,240 --> 01:01:59,960
Speaker 5: They hold off a.

1334
01:02:00,120 --> 01:02:03,320
Speaker 1: Late rally by Mason Rudolph and they get to six

1335
01:02:03,400 --> 01:02:06,919
Speaker 1: and eight and they remain alive because of an opportunistic

1336
01:02:07,040 --> 01:02:07,720
Speaker 1: defense shook.

1337
01:02:08,520 --> 01:02:11,200
Speaker 6: How many turnovers qualifies for you to declare the game

1338
01:02:11,320 --> 01:02:13,160
Speaker 6: drunk because I have a number in my head and

1339
01:02:13,240 --> 01:02:15,000
Speaker 6: this game exceeded that number.

1340
01:02:15,160 --> 01:02:18,160
Speaker 7: Okay, ten total turnovers, no two teams.

1341
01:02:18,280 --> 01:02:20,720
Speaker 6: Every time you looked at the game, somebody was turning

1342
01:02:20,760 --> 01:02:23,240
Speaker 6: the ball over, and most of the time the criminal

1343
01:02:23,560 --> 01:02:24,440
Speaker 6: was Will Levis.

1344
01:02:24,600 --> 01:02:26,680
Speaker 7: He was the guy who was guilty of turning the

1345
01:02:26,720 --> 01:02:27,919
Speaker 7: ball over. He threw three picks.

1346
01:02:27,960 --> 01:02:30,440
Speaker 6: He had a great start, okay, and then he instantly

1347
01:02:30,560 --> 01:02:33,600
Speaker 6: just fell apart and he regressed dramatically to the Will

1348
01:02:33,680 --> 01:02:36,960
Speaker 6: Levis we knew prior to his recent stretch of relative success.

1349
01:02:37,320 --> 01:02:39,880
Speaker 6: Whereas and it gave the Bengals an opportunity defensively to

1350
01:02:39,920 --> 01:02:42,560
Speaker 6: actually build some steam because we know this Bengals defense

1351
01:02:42,600 --> 01:02:45,240
Speaker 6: has been maligned all year, right fully, so they haven't

1352
01:02:45,280 --> 01:02:47,240
Speaker 6: been able to stop nosably Will. They stopped the Titans

1353
01:02:47,400 --> 01:02:50,840
Speaker 6: on multiple possessions today. They were opportunistic. It allowed Joe

1354
01:02:50,920 --> 01:02:53,280
Speaker 6: Burrow to even shake off some of his interceptions because

1355
01:02:53,280 --> 01:02:55,120
Speaker 6: he threw a couple of those as well. And the

1356
01:02:55,160 --> 01:02:58,000
Speaker 6: Bengals outlast the Titans team that they're just better than

1357
01:02:58,160 --> 01:03:00,680
Speaker 6: on paper, and when it comes to the details in

1358
01:03:00,800 --> 01:03:04,440
Speaker 6: execution in a game, that it's worth the rewatch because

1359
01:03:04,480 --> 01:03:08,040
Speaker 6: it was just chaotic doesn't really say much about either team.

1360
01:03:07,880 --> 01:03:11,800
Speaker 1: Though, Okay, it's worth the rewatch, if only because of

1361
01:03:12,120 --> 01:03:14,080
Speaker 1: the Tovandre sweat fumble.

1362
01:03:14,200 --> 01:03:16,320
Speaker 5: Yeah, recovery. Let's listen to that second and.

1363
01:03:16,360 --> 01:03:21,800
Speaker 12: Gold at the nine, the firm looking stepping up in trouble.

1364
01:03:22,120 --> 01:03:26,840
Speaker 16: Shack, Oh, take it away. It's sweat coming the under

1365
01:03:26,880 --> 01:03:32,120
Speaker 16: one Skip Moore fifteen twenty twenty five, Sweat thirty thirty five.

1366
01:03:32,440 --> 01:03:35,080
Speaker 16: It is finally pushed out of mounts by Bolt sit

1367
01:03:35,160 --> 01:03:39,520
Speaker 16: at the forty. Titans get the quarterback sack. It's steal

1368
01:03:39,720 --> 01:03:40,120
Speaker 16: the ball.

1369
01:03:41,800 --> 01:03:45,080
Speaker 1: Great call there by Mike Keith and a yelp midplay

1370
01:03:45,160 --> 01:03:49,360
Speaker 1: by Dave McGinnis on WGFX. That is a three hundred

1371
01:03:49,360 --> 01:03:52,040
Speaker 1: and seventy pounds man at minimum, because that's what he's

1372
01:03:52,160 --> 01:03:54,720
Speaker 1: listed at, with a nasty stiff.

1373
01:03:54,560 --> 01:03:57,120
Speaker 5: Arm like he changed the ball like his hands. He

1374
01:03:57,680 --> 01:03:59,200
Speaker 5: he knew the assignment. That was amazing.

1375
01:03:59,240 --> 01:04:01,200
Speaker 1: They were up fourteen the seven, by the way at

1376
01:04:01,240 --> 01:04:02,960
Speaker 1: that point of the game and had just taken the

1377
01:04:03,000 --> 01:04:03,720
Speaker 1: ball away and.

1378
01:04:04,120 --> 01:04:06,240
Speaker 8: Mike Keith, you know, he's looking forward to saying touchdown

1379
01:04:06,280 --> 01:04:08,760
Speaker 8: Titans on the play, so he just said stiff arm.

1380
01:04:09,000 --> 01:04:12,480
Speaker 8: But this is Alex Kappa, the offensive lineman coming. This

1381
01:04:12,640 --> 01:04:14,880
Speaker 8: is a full grown man coming to make a tackle

1382
01:04:15,080 --> 01:04:17,160
Speaker 8: and Mike Keith maybe he's seen Derrick Henry do a

1383
01:04:17,160 --> 01:04:19,520
Speaker 8: lot of stiff arms and so he's seen the best

1384
01:04:19,600 --> 01:04:22,280
Speaker 8: ever to do it. But this was from Defandre Sweat,

1385
01:04:22,520 --> 01:04:25,480
Speaker 8: and I just love the reaction from the sideline. Yes,

1386
01:04:25,800 --> 01:04:30,560
Speaker 8: because Sweat, you know, clearly awful, awful mistake, you know,

1387
01:04:31,120 --> 01:04:34,160
Speaker 8: driving while intoxicated, didn't know if he was going to

1388
01:04:34,200 --> 01:04:34,720
Speaker 8: get drafted.

1389
01:04:34,760 --> 01:04:35,840
Speaker 9: The Titans believed in him.

1390
01:04:36,000 --> 01:04:37,800
Speaker 8: He's been embraced by the team, and you could just

1391
01:04:37,880 --> 01:04:41,240
Speaker 8: see the reaction from all of his teammates after that

1392
01:04:41,360 --> 01:04:45,280
Speaker 8: incredible play where they love that the man that he's

1393
01:04:45,280 --> 01:04:48,919
Speaker 8: become this season and making a play on that where

1394
01:04:49,280 --> 01:04:51,960
Speaker 8: it's just another one of these moments from this drunk

1395
01:04:52,000 --> 01:04:55,040
Speaker 8: football game that shook out the pleasure of watching, where

1396
01:04:56,000 --> 01:04:59,920
Speaker 8: it's like that that almost becomes a footnote to every

1397
01:05:00,120 --> 01:05:02,320
Speaker 8: thing that we saw in this game, with these teams

1398
01:05:02,400 --> 01:05:04,240
Speaker 8: going up and down the field offense and defense.

1399
01:05:04,360 --> 01:05:07,600
Speaker 1: Right Burrow, you mentioned like had had three turnovers in

1400
01:05:07,680 --> 01:05:10,840
Speaker 1: this game, so you know his his MVP candidacy to

1401
01:05:11,080 --> 01:05:12,840
Speaker 1: get on the ballot. It takes a little bit of

1402
01:05:12,880 --> 01:05:15,360
Speaker 1: a hit. A couple of turnovers last couple of weeks.

1403
01:05:16,640 --> 01:05:18,880
Speaker 1: He did throw a touchdown though to Sam Hubbard, so

1404
01:05:19,000 --> 01:05:21,320
Speaker 1: he just like we didn't even mention that as part

1405
01:05:21,360 --> 01:05:21,880
Speaker 1: of the way.

1406
01:05:22,120 --> 01:05:24,400
Speaker 5: This game was drawn. Hubbard got hurt late in the game,

1407
01:05:24,480 --> 01:05:25,800
Speaker 5: but he said it was worth it.

1408
01:05:25,880 --> 01:05:28,240
Speaker 1: It felt good to be out there contribute to a

1409
01:05:28,280 --> 01:05:31,080
Speaker 1: win as an offensive weapon, Sam Hubbard.

1410
01:05:31,400 --> 01:05:32,280
Speaker 7: Yeah, true weapon.

1411
01:05:32,520 --> 01:05:34,400
Speaker 6: Like we haven't seen a weapon playing out of position

1412
01:05:34,520 --> 01:05:36,680
Speaker 6: since the days of Mike Vrabel with the Patriota. And

1413
01:05:37,000 --> 01:05:40,160
Speaker 6: this catch was tight end like top tier tight end worthy,

1414
01:05:40,200 --> 01:05:42,480
Speaker 6: a fantastic grab. And that's when I knew this game

1415
01:05:42,600 --> 01:05:44,280
Speaker 6: needed to be cut off. And that was long before

1416
01:05:44,360 --> 01:05:47,040
Speaker 6: it was over. A heck of a kind of a back,

1417
01:05:47,200 --> 01:05:49,760
Speaker 6: weird back and forth. But I will say this another

1418
01:05:49,920 --> 01:05:52,320
Speaker 6: example of how I knew this game was drunk Jordan

1419
01:05:52,400 --> 01:05:54,840
Speaker 6: Battle recovers a fubble, goes all the way back to

1420
01:05:54,920 --> 01:05:57,760
Speaker 6: the end zone and then loses the ball as he's

1421
01:05:57,800 --> 01:05:59,640
Speaker 6: crossing the goal line and fumbles it out of the

1422
01:05:59,640 --> 01:06:02,120
Speaker 6: back of the end zone. So there was another example

1423
01:06:02,120 --> 01:06:04,000
Speaker 6: actually in another game that we've yet to talk about too.

1424
01:06:04,040 --> 01:06:05,600
Speaker 6: I just thought about that off the stap my head.

1425
01:06:05,920 --> 01:06:07,600
Speaker 6: It's just been a crazy day guys.

1426
01:06:07,720 --> 01:06:08,600
Speaker 5: It really has.

1427
01:06:08,800 --> 01:06:12,080
Speaker 1: And if if you're a Bengals fan, I said, you're

1428
01:06:12,120 --> 01:06:15,640
Speaker 1: gonna get to that week seventeen, you're gonna be mathematically alive.

1429
01:06:16,240 --> 01:06:18,400
Speaker 5: You got the Browns next week. Just get to seven

1430
01:06:18,480 --> 01:06:18,800
Speaker 5: and eight.

1431
01:06:19,080 --> 01:06:22,640
Speaker 1: Just these games are a little more fun if you're

1432
01:06:22,720 --> 01:06:27,520
Speaker 1: not mathematically eliminated. The Titans long eliminated. They stayed in

1433
01:06:27,600 --> 01:06:30,160
Speaker 1: the top six. I'm looking at Tankathon. It's amazing that

1434
01:06:30,240 --> 01:06:32,480
Speaker 1: three and eleven only give gets you the six pick.

1435
01:06:32,840 --> 01:06:34,800
Speaker 1: Right now, the Browns are three and eleven and they

1436
01:06:34,840 --> 01:06:37,280
Speaker 1: have the seven pick. So you know they didn't they

1437
01:06:37,320 --> 01:06:40,640
Speaker 1: didn't change that today. But the Bengals got a victory.

1438
01:06:41,120 --> 01:06:43,320
Speaker 1: Let's go to a team which is is much more

1439
01:06:43,480 --> 01:06:47,120
Speaker 1: in the wild card race. Yes, the Arizona Cardinals.

1440
01:06:47,120 --> 01:06:50,880
Speaker 12: Pistol snap Murray has a handoff Connor, straight ahead touchdown,

1441
01:06:51,920 --> 01:06:54,880
Speaker 12: James Connor two touchdowns here on the fourth Cardinals extend

1442
01:06:54,920 --> 01:06:57,080
Speaker 12: their lead to twenty nine to ten with three twenty

1443
01:06:57,160 --> 01:06:57,640
Speaker 12: seven ago.

1444
01:06:57,880 --> 01:06:58,520
Speaker 9: Wind them up.

1445
01:06:58,640 --> 01:07:02,000
Speaker 13: If the pistol handed off, let James Connor just jump

1446
01:07:02,120 --> 01:07:04,240
Speaker 13: over the a gap touchdown.

1447
01:07:05,680 --> 01:07:09,320
Speaker 1: That is Dave Pash and our friend Ron wolf Lee.

1448
01:07:10,000 --> 01:07:13,440
Speaker 1: Some games don't really have like a great play or

1449
01:07:13,480 --> 01:07:14,440
Speaker 1: a highlight that.

1450
01:07:14,800 --> 01:07:15,560
Speaker 5: Makes a lot of sense.

1451
01:07:15,640 --> 01:07:18,520
Speaker 1: This was one of those games I watched it pretty closely.

1452
01:07:18,640 --> 01:07:23,080
Speaker 1: Thirty to seventeen Cardinals beat the Patriots in a game

1453
01:07:23,160 --> 01:07:27,040
Speaker 1: that wasn't that close. The Patriots get a couple touchdowns

1454
01:07:27,400 --> 01:07:32,040
Speaker 1: in garbage time to make it look better, but kind

1455
01:07:32,040 --> 01:07:33,880
Speaker 1: of a whole hum game for the Cardinals to get

1456
01:07:33,920 --> 01:07:38,320
Speaker 1: them to seven and seven. They ran the ball well,

1457
01:07:38,400 --> 01:07:41,200
Speaker 1: James Connor with one hundred and ten yards in two touchdowns.

1458
01:07:41,280 --> 01:07:45,840
Speaker 1: Kyler Murray played mistake free football, wouldn't stay it. It

1459
01:07:45,920 --> 01:07:47,920
Speaker 1: made me feel like that much better about where their

1460
01:07:48,000 --> 01:07:50,600
Speaker 1: offense is at. They couldn't quite finish drive, settled for

1461
01:07:50,720 --> 01:07:55,280
Speaker 1: some field goals, but ultimately you win easily. A result

1462
01:07:55,360 --> 01:07:57,800
Speaker 1: like this almost just makes me think about Man, if

1463
01:07:57,840 --> 01:08:01,040
Speaker 1: they hadn't lost one of those close games against the Seahawks,

1464
01:08:01,080 --> 01:08:02,480
Speaker 1: things would have felt a little different.

1465
01:08:02,520 --> 01:08:05,400
Speaker 5: But they still are having an uphill battle in the division.

1466
01:08:05,440 --> 01:08:07,440
Speaker 8: Yeah, it's so close that there were that third and

1467
01:08:07,560 --> 01:08:10,200
Speaker 8: seven against Sam Darnold and then Minnesota Vikings could have

1468
01:08:10,320 --> 01:08:13,320
Speaker 8: changed their postseason. And honestly, we may look back and

1469
01:08:13,400 --> 01:08:15,160
Speaker 8: that may have been one of the most consequential third

1470
01:08:15,240 --> 01:08:18,800
Speaker 8: downs that we've seen all season. Long, but Kyler comes

1471
01:08:18,840 --> 01:08:20,800
Speaker 8: back in this game twenty three to thirty. Did take

1472
01:08:20,800 --> 01:08:24,080
Speaker 8: a massive shot in this game. Clayton Tune came in

1473
01:08:24,200 --> 01:08:27,360
Speaker 8: and played a couple of possessions. But James Connor averaged

1474
01:08:27,360 --> 01:08:30,880
Speaker 8: almost seven yards of carry against this Patriots team, and

1475
01:08:31,000 --> 01:08:33,800
Speaker 8: there were some late I would say garbage down points

1476
01:08:33,800 --> 01:08:36,360
Speaker 8: from New England where this was. This was pretty much

1477
01:08:36,760 --> 01:08:40,000
Speaker 8: out of question for the Patriots with a lot of

1478
01:08:40,040 --> 01:08:41,240
Speaker 8: time remaining in the third quarter.

1479
01:08:42,000 --> 01:08:44,720
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's not a great sign when your quarterback get

1480
01:08:44,880 --> 01:08:49,320
Speaker 1: goes into halftime without an incompletion. That's Drake may and

1481
01:08:49,439 --> 01:08:53,000
Speaker 1: you're losing thirteen to three. Like Drake, Drake may Can

1482
01:08:53,160 --> 01:08:58,160
Speaker 1: continues to somehow like set new boundaries of how totally solid,

1483
01:08:58,280 --> 01:08:59,599
Speaker 1: if not great, he looks.

1484
01:08:59,680 --> 01:09:01,160
Speaker 5: And he had his team's not even competitive.

1485
01:09:01,200 --> 01:09:03,639
Speaker 1: His one interception on the day, second time in three

1486
01:09:03,680 --> 01:09:05,920
Speaker 1: weeks this has happened, came off a drop of kish

1487
01:09:06,000 --> 01:09:08,960
Speaker 1: On booty. So it was like even the one box

1488
01:09:09,000 --> 01:09:11,600
Speaker 1: score problem that he had, he only had four incompletions

1489
01:09:11,600 --> 01:09:12,960
Speaker 1: two hundred yards came off a drop.

1490
01:09:13,120 --> 01:09:15,840
Speaker 8: A drop gives Kaishan Boody maybe too much credit there

1491
01:09:15,960 --> 01:09:18,559
Speaker 8: that the ball's like low and outside and Booty goes

1492
01:09:18,600 --> 01:09:21,080
Speaker 8: down to ranch it and instead of like the ball

1493
01:09:21,200 --> 01:09:23,000
Speaker 8: being dropped, he lifts it up.

1494
01:09:23,160 --> 01:09:25,839
Speaker 1: Yes, it kind of tosses it, but that was exactly

1495
01:09:25,920 --> 01:09:28,280
Speaker 1: what happened a couple of weeks ago too. Very strangely,

1496
01:09:28,320 --> 01:09:30,680
Speaker 1: it was like a play where his own receiver kind

1497
01:09:30,720 --> 01:09:33,679
Speaker 1: of threw it into the air. But look, Trey McBride

1498
01:09:33,720 --> 01:09:35,200
Speaker 1: goes nine for eighty seven.

1499
01:09:35,560 --> 01:09:35,880
Speaker 5: Shook.

1500
01:09:36,479 --> 01:09:38,760
Speaker 1: Marvin Harrison could not get anything done on one on

1501
01:09:38,880 --> 01:09:42,040
Speaker 1: one matchups against Christian Gonzales, like Gonzales just shut him

1502
01:09:42,080 --> 01:09:44,400
Speaker 1: down like that. That was a little frustrating, I think

1503
01:09:44,479 --> 01:09:48,040
Speaker 1: for the Cardinals who kept going to that matchup in

1504
01:09:48,120 --> 01:09:50,639
Speaker 1: the red zone and Gonzalez just kept winning it over

1505
01:09:50,720 --> 01:09:51,040
Speaker 1: and over.

1506
01:09:51,160 --> 01:09:52,320
Speaker 5: But it keeps them alive.

1507
01:09:52,479 --> 01:09:55,400
Speaker 1: I shouldn't compare them totally to the Bengals that they're

1508
01:09:55,439 --> 01:09:58,200
Speaker 1: in a division where yes, the Rams got to eight

1509
01:09:58,280 --> 01:10:01,759
Speaker 1: and six here, but and they got swept by the Seahawks,

1510
01:10:01,760 --> 01:10:05,040
Speaker 1: so that's problematic. But there's still three weeks ago, potentially

1511
01:10:05,160 --> 01:10:07,479
Speaker 1: only one loss behind they are in the mix.

1512
01:10:08,120 --> 01:10:09,880
Speaker 6: Yeah, I'm glad you actually brought up the Marvin Harrison

1513
01:10:09,960 --> 01:10:14,280
Speaker 6: junior targets because I honestly think that as the Cardinals

1514
01:10:14,360 --> 01:10:16,360
Speaker 6: offense which struggles mightily on third down. I only went

1515
01:10:16,400 --> 01:10:18,320
Speaker 6: ten for fifteen today, but when it comes to third

1516
01:10:18,320 --> 01:10:20,599
Speaker 6: and long, it's a Kyler dropped back on a prayer

1517
01:10:20,720 --> 01:10:22,639
Speaker 6: most times, and it has been for most of the season.

1518
01:10:23,120 --> 01:10:23,720
Speaker 5: I think that the.

1519
01:10:23,800 --> 01:10:26,000
Speaker 6: Element that is missing they could really elevate this offense

1520
01:10:26,160 --> 01:10:28,720
Speaker 6: is the inclusion of Marvin Harrison Junior at an efficient rate.

1521
01:10:28,760 --> 01:10:30,280
Speaker 6: And the reason I bring that up is because, yes,

1522
01:10:30,360 --> 01:10:33,040
Speaker 6: Christian Gonzalez played great coverage on him, but Marvin Harrison

1523
01:10:33,080 --> 01:10:34,960
Speaker 6: Junior is a guy who is known for winning fifty

1524
01:10:34,960 --> 01:10:37,920
Speaker 6: to fifties winning jump balls in college. He's an artist

1525
01:10:37,960 --> 01:10:39,599
Speaker 6: when it comes to catching passes in the end zone,

1526
01:10:39,680 --> 01:10:40,880
Speaker 6: especially in the corner of the end zone, and he

1527
01:10:40,960 --> 01:10:43,040
Speaker 6: had two great looks at it, and Kyler doesn't put

1528
01:10:43,040 --> 01:10:44,400
Speaker 6: it in the right spot. So if I have a

1529
01:10:44,439 --> 01:10:46,439
Speaker 6: project for these Cardinals if they missed the playoffs, because

1530
01:10:46,439 --> 01:10:47,599
Speaker 6: they still you know, it's going to be a little

1531
01:10:47,600 --> 01:10:49,200
Speaker 6: bit rough here trying to get in there with the

1532
01:10:49,240 --> 01:10:52,479
Speaker 6: way the division is set. As you just described the

1533
01:10:52,600 --> 01:10:54,360
Speaker 6: project for them in the offseason, how do you get

1534
01:10:54,400 --> 01:10:56,880
Speaker 6: better Kyler and Marves and Harrison Junior figure out how

1535
01:10:57,000 --> 01:10:58,599
Speaker 6: to throw those balls to him?

1536
01:10:58,720 --> 01:10:59,360
Speaker 7: Because If they.

1537
01:10:59,280 --> 01:11:02,120
Speaker 6: Could do that, and they've done it in small spots

1538
01:11:02,400 --> 01:11:05,120
Speaker 6: this season, I think they would be so much better offensively.

1539
01:11:05,479 --> 01:11:07,640
Speaker 6: They're efectively like eliminating one of their best weapons on

1540
01:11:07,680 --> 01:11:09,240
Speaker 6: offense right now, and when the running game doesn't work,

1541
01:11:09,240 --> 01:11:10,599
Speaker 6: they're not going They're not playing well.

1542
01:11:10,720 --> 01:11:10,800
Speaker 2: Now.

1543
01:11:10,840 --> 01:11:12,640
Speaker 7: The running game work. Today they played the Patriots and

1544
01:11:12,640 --> 01:11:14,479
Speaker 7: it all worked out for them and they win the game.

1545
01:11:14,560 --> 01:11:16,800
Speaker 7: But that's just where they need to be better. That's

1546
01:11:16,800 --> 01:11:18,040
Speaker 7: where they can take their next step.

1547
01:11:18,240 --> 01:11:19,920
Speaker 6: And it was frustrating to see that today against the

1548
01:11:19,960 --> 01:11:21,840
Speaker 6: Patriots team that you know you put thirty points on,

1549
01:11:21,920 --> 01:11:23,240
Speaker 6: but you probably could have won this by more.

1550
01:11:23,600 --> 01:11:25,960
Speaker 8: The best play for Marvin Harrison Junior today it was

1551
01:11:26,000 --> 01:11:28,000
Speaker 8: a twenty one yarder where they had him lined up

1552
01:11:28,040 --> 01:11:29,840
Speaker 8: in the slot, which is something they do. He was

1553
01:11:29,880 --> 01:11:31,720
Speaker 8: lined up in the slot ten times, but they were

1554
01:11:31,760 --> 01:11:34,519
Speaker 8: able to drag Marvin across the formation kind of get

1555
01:11:34,560 --> 01:11:36,560
Speaker 8: some new separation because Gonzales was on them there, but

1556
01:11:36,640 --> 01:11:39,120
Speaker 8: there was a lot of traffic to run through. Kyler

1557
01:11:39,200 --> 01:11:41,680
Speaker 8: hits him on the catch and run where That's what

1558
01:11:42,200 --> 01:11:46,120
Speaker 8: I've wanted, just more layup short opportunities for Marvin Harrison Junior,

1559
01:11:46,360 --> 01:11:48,080
Speaker 8: just to get him involved in the offense. So it's

1560
01:11:48,200 --> 01:11:51,000
Speaker 8: not all you know, deep balls to the corner and

1561
01:11:51,120 --> 01:11:53,200
Speaker 8: back shoulder throws where it's like this high degree of

1562
01:11:53,320 --> 01:11:56,280
Speaker 8: difficulty where yeah, you can do that when you have

1563
01:11:56,360 --> 01:11:58,519
Speaker 8: a top ten draft pick who has all the talent

1564
01:11:58,560 --> 01:12:00,720
Speaker 8: in the world, but also let's just get them the ball.

1565
01:12:00,800 --> 01:12:03,760
Speaker 8: Like all these balls to Jamar Chase aren't necessarily like

1566
01:12:04,080 --> 01:12:07,040
Speaker 8: high difficulty throws. Some of them are very simple, close

1567
01:12:07,080 --> 01:12:08,600
Speaker 8: to the lawne of scrimmage where I would like to

1568
01:12:08,640 --> 01:12:09,920
Speaker 8: see Marvin involved in more.

1569
01:12:10,120 --> 01:12:13,720
Speaker 1: Yeah, they feel better. They were, they were on along

1570
01:12:13,800 --> 01:12:16,000
Speaker 1: losing streak. They won easy, They beat up on a

1571
01:12:16,080 --> 01:12:18,800
Speaker 1: bad team. I think this is a very worrisome result

1572
01:12:18,880 --> 01:12:21,000
Speaker 1: for Drod Mayo coming out of a bye week and

1573
01:12:21,400 --> 01:12:22,240
Speaker 1: you looked worse.

1574
01:12:22,600 --> 01:12:23,759
Speaker 5: You had no answers.

1575
01:12:23,840 --> 01:12:28,439
Speaker 1: Defensively, the offensive line was crazy bad early in this

1576
01:12:28,520 --> 01:12:30,639
Speaker 1: game in terms of the penalties and a bad snap

1577
01:12:31,240 --> 01:12:33,880
Speaker 1: and just giving up free rushers. It looked like they

1578
01:12:33,920 --> 01:12:36,040
Speaker 1: had made no progress at all. There were some reports

1579
01:12:36,360 --> 01:12:38,519
Speaker 1: over the weekend from the athletic that they are that

1580
01:12:38,600 --> 01:12:43,560
Speaker 1: they are committed to Drod Mayo, and I believe it,

1581
01:12:43,760 --> 01:12:48,000
Speaker 1: but a performance like this makes you wonder certainly about

1582
01:12:48,000 --> 01:12:51,880
Speaker 1: the offensive coordinator and Alex van Pelt not not progressing

1583
01:12:52,160 --> 01:12:54,760
Speaker 1: or improving as the season's gone along, and we really

1584
01:12:54,840 --> 01:12:58,280
Speaker 1: haven't seen that. After the game, they asked Drod Mayo

1585
01:12:59,000 --> 01:13:03,120
Speaker 1: about a sequentz where they got down inside the five

1586
01:13:03,200 --> 01:13:05,200
Speaker 1: yard line and they got it to third and one

1587
01:13:05,600 --> 01:13:07,639
Speaker 1: and they ran at two straight times and they couldn't

1588
01:13:07,640 --> 01:13:08,960
Speaker 1: pick up a yard, which is the story of this

1589
01:13:09,080 --> 01:13:12,920
Speaker 1: Patriots season. But someone asked them about not using Drake

1590
01:13:13,000 --> 01:13:15,160
Speaker 1: may at all, which they really haven't as a runner

1591
01:13:15,320 --> 01:13:17,960
Speaker 1: in the red zone all season, and they said, you know,

1592
01:13:18,240 --> 01:13:20,719
Speaker 1: we've seen may is such so effective as a runner,

1593
01:13:20,920 --> 01:13:23,200
Speaker 1: how come you know not using him there? And Gid

1594
01:13:23,280 --> 01:13:28,240
Speaker 1: Mayo said, you said it, not me, which doesn't bode

1595
01:13:28,240 --> 01:13:32,120
Speaker 1: well for Alex van Pelt either, speaking of his coaching

1596
01:13:32,160 --> 01:13:34,040
Speaker 1: staffs that have been in a little trouble this year.

1597
01:13:34,160 --> 01:13:38,720
Speaker 1: Let's go to Jacksonville, which was a fun game. Either one,

1598
01:13:38,880 --> 01:13:40,360
Speaker 1: I mean one's gone and the other one.

1599
01:13:41,439 --> 01:13:42,760
Speaker 5: Yeah, let's go in.

1600
01:13:42,840 --> 01:13:46,080
Speaker 12: Motion from left to right, those Isaiah Davis Rogers back

1601
01:13:46,120 --> 01:13:50,000
Speaker 12: to throw well protected fires one up the sea from Adams.

1602
01:13:50,680 --> 01:13:57,040
Speaker 3: At not the twenty ten five spins, heads up touchdown,

1603
01:13:57,920 --> 01:14:02,479
Speaker 3: It's a jet touchdown. A fun day Adams streaks down

1604
01:14:02,600 --> 01:14:06,000
Speaker 3: the middle and Aaron Rodgers puts it right in his

1605
01:14:06,200 --> 01:14:10,439
Speaker 3: hands and the Jets happily three twenty four to go.

1606
01:14:11,120 --> 01:14:14,400
Speaker 1: The Jets go on to win thirty two to twenty five.

1607
01:14:15,000 --> 01:14:17,040
Speaker 1: Fun to hear a little Bob was shus in on

1608
01:14:17,240 --> 01:14:19,439
Speaker 1: WAXQ having a little fun.

1609
01:14:19,960 --> 01:14:20,280
Speaker 5: Why not.

1610
01:14:20,439 --> 01:14:22,760
Speaker 1: It's been a tough season and when you can watch

1611
01:14:22,840 --> 01:14:26,280
Speaker 1: DeVante Adams go nine for one, ninety eight and two

1612
01:14:26,400 --> 01:14:29,840
Speaker 1: touchdowns in a throwback performance, I mean he and Aaron

1613
01:14:29,920 --> 01:14:32,920
Speaker 1: Rodgers put this team on their backs. In the second half.

1614
01:14:33,240 --> 01:14:38,600
Speaker 1: Adams was physical, he was awesome, and they stop a

1615
01:14:38,800 --> 01:14:42,719
Speaker 1: late bid from Mac Jones. A lot happened actually after

1616
01:14:42,920 --> 01:14:46,240
Speaker 1: that play, because that made it twenty five to twenty two.

1617
01:14:46,880 --> 01:14:50,080
Speaker 1: The Jaguars did respond tie the game of the field goal.

1618
01:14:50,160 --> 01:14:53,799
Speaker 1: The Jets have another quick touchdown drive which DeVante Adams

1619
01:14:53,880 --> 01:14:57,679
Speaker 1: really set up Priests Hall and then finally Mac Jones

1620
01:14:57,920 --> 01:15:02,200
Speaker 1: throws the interception to Sass Gardner. Jets get the victory,

1621
01:15:02,800 --> 01:15:05,680
Speaker 1: and I don't know if we have many big takeaways

1622
01:15:06,080 --> 01:15:08,800
Speaker 1: from this game other than Aaron Rodgers is playing his

1623
01:15:08,960 --> 01:15:11,599
Speaker 1: best football at the very end of the season, which

1624
01:15:11,680 --> 01:15:14,880
Speaker 1: is going to help his chances of getting a good

1625
01:15:14,960 --> 01:15:17,040
Speaker 1: job next year or getting a starting job.

1626
01:15:17,200 --> 01:15:20,320
Speaker 5: That's what I believe. Does anyone care to disagree with me?

1627
01:15:20,880 --> 01:15:22,080
Speaker 7: No, he where's the job going to be?

1628
01:15:22,240 --> 01:15:22,600
Speaker 9: I don't know.

1629
01:15:22,800 --> 01:15:23,120
Speaker 5: Somewhere.

1630
01:15:25,680 --> 01:15:26,280
Speaker 7: That's awesome.

1631
01:15:26,560 --> 01:15:27,320
Speaker 5: He moved.

1632
01:15:27,400 --> 01:15:30,760
Speaker 1: I thought he's moved much better over the last couple

1633
01:15:30,840 --> 01:15:33,640
Speaker 1: of weeks. You know, the matchups helped DeVante wouldn't have

1634
01:15:33,680 --> 01:15:37,240
Speaker 1: been as open maybe against some other teams. But Rogers

1635
01:15:37,280 --> 01:15:40,200
Speaker 1: has looked good. There's no point in like pushing back

1636
01:15:40,240 --> 01:15:42,760
Speaker 1: from the tape. He's looked pretty good. He's definitely looked

1637
01:15:42,760 --> 01:15:44,360
Speaker 1: the best that he's looked the last three weeks in

1638
01:15:44,439 --> 01:15:47,080
Speaker 1: terms of movement, in terms of ball placement, and he

1639
01:15:47,120 --> 01:15:50,240
Speaker 1: actually could have had a bigger day if Davante started

1640
01:15:50,280 --> 01:15:52,240
Speaker 1: off the game kind of slow. He had a couple drops.

1641
01:15:52,320 --> 01:15:53,800
Speaker 1: One would have been a tough catch, but it would

1642
01:15:53,800 --> 01:15:55,519
Speaker 1: have been a big play. Another one was a flat

1643
01:15:55,560 --> 01:15:57,960
Speaker 1: out drop. And I'm thinking, man, is the years catching

1644
01:15:58,000 --> 01:15:59,920
Speaker 1: up to DeVante because he had a quiet first half

1645
01:16:00,040 --> 01:16:01,040
Speaker 1: and then the second half he's.

1646
01:16:00,920 --> 01:16:02,960
Speaker 9: Just Yeah, he was one hundred ninety eight yards in

1647
01:16:03,040 --> 01:16:05,080
Speaker 9: the second half. Oh my god for DeVante Adams.

1648
01:16:05,640 --> 01:16:09,360
Speaker 8: That's and essentially you get to one thirty and he

1649
01:16:09,479 --> 01:16:11,920
Speaker 8: has the fifty plus yarder where if he gets in

1650
01:16:11,920 --> 01:16:14,760
Speaker 8: the end zone, he's even two hundred yards there and

1651
01:16:14,880 --> 01:16:19,800
Speaker 8: three touchdowns in this game for the Jets, where you're

1652
01:16:19,920 --> 01:16:24,719
Speaker 8: you're getting essentially outdueled by mac Jones during large portions

1653
01:16:24,760 --> 01:16:26,920
Speaker 8: of the game before Davante kind of wakes up and

1654
01:16:27,200 --> 01:16:30,719
Speaker 8: you know, mac Jones eventually regresses and throws an easy

1655
01:16:30,760 --> 01:16:33,080
Speaker 8: interception to Sauce Gardner to close the game out where

1656
01:16:33,080 --> 01:16:36,120
Speaker 8: he's back pedaling backwards. But yeah, Aaron Rodgers is good.

1657
01:16:36,280 --> 01:16:39,639
Speaker 8: He's incredibly annoying to hear him talk about literally anything. Yes,

1658
01:16:39,960 --> 01:16:42,800
Speaker 8: but he deserves a starting job somewhere and he's going

1659
01:16:42,880 --> 01:16:44,439
Speaker 8: to get a lot of attention. He's going to be

1660
01:16:44,479 --> 01:16:48,320
Speaker 8: on TV every week. But all that being said, he's

1661
01:16:48,400 --> 01:16:49,719
Speaker 8: not the worst part of this team.

1662
01:16:50,120 --> 01:16:50,160
Speaker 11: No.

1663
01:16:51,479 --> 01:16:53,680
Speaker 1: They are terrible in these one score games, and they

1664
01:16:53,720 --> 01:16:56,080
Speaker 1: finally found a team that was even worse. The Jaguars

1665
01:16:56,120 --> 01:16:58,200
Speaker 1: have lost eight games by one score this year. They're

1666
01:16:58,200 --> 01:16:59,880
Speaker 1: two and eight in those games, so most of their

1667
01:16:59,880 --> 01:17:02,680
Speaker 1: games are close. If you get twenty five points and

1668
01:17:03,160 --> 01:17:05,120
Speaker 1: you get mac Jones to lead you to more than

1669
01:17:05,160 --> 01:17:08,200
Speaker 1: four hundred yards like usually you would, that's gotta.

1670
01:17:08,000 --> 01:17:08,519
Speaker 5: Be good enough.

1671
01:17:08,600 --> 01:17:11,360
Speaker 1: It's a bad sign for the Jets defense that they

1672
01:17:11,800 --> 01:17:13,920
Speaker 1: were letting Mac Jones clown them on the ground for

1673
01:17:14,040 --> 01:17:15,760
Speaker 1: much of the game. He had twenty nine yards on

1674
01:17:15,880 --> 01:17:19,840
Speaker 1: the ground. He who is the guy Sherwood for the Jets.

1675
01:17:19,920 --> 01:17:23,800
Speaker 1: That Mac Jones actually pulled like a Madden spin move

1676
01:17:24,000 --> 01:17:26,600
Speaker 1: on him in the open field and sent the linebacker

1677
01:17:26,760 --> 01:17:29,200
Speaker 1: just flying by him. And I was like, wow, that

1678
01:17:29,400 --> 01:17:31,599
Speaker 1: is That's gonna be a tough moment in the film room,

1679
01:17:31,720 --> 01:17:32,479
Speaker 1: especially after win.

1680
01:17:32,560 --> 01:17:34,360
Speaker 5: Now you can have a little fun with it. The

1681
01:17:34,479 --> 01:17:34,960
Speaker 5: Jets can.

1682
01:17:35,920 --> 01:17:40,640
Speaker 1: But they outlasted him in a shootout thirty two to

1683
01:17:40,760 --> 01:17:43,120
Speaker 1: twenty five to go to four and ten, And yeah,

1684
01:17:43,120 --> 01:17:46,080
Speaker 1: I was talking about Tankathon. With that win, the Jets

1685
01:17:46,120 --> 01:17:49,280
Speaker 1: fall all the way to number eight. Jaguars right now

1686
01:17:49,920 --> 01:17:52,519
Speaker 1: at number four Patriots, who we just talked about at

1687
01:17:52,640 --> 01:17:56,360
Speaker 1: number three, but is very tightly bunched that it wouldn't

1688
01:17:56,360 --> 01:17:58,880
Speaker 1: surprise me if the Jets win another game here down

1689
01:17:58,960 --> 01:18:01,280
Speaker 1: the stretch. All right, we're going to say goodbye to

1690
01:18:01,400 --> 01:18:06,680
Speaker 1: our friend Patrick Claybond. How are you feeling today just

1691
01:18:06,800 --> 01:18:11,800
Speaker 1: about life, about football, about NFL daily and your contribution

1692
01:18:11,960 --> 01:18:12,719
Speaker 1: to it overall.

1693
01:18:12,840 --> 01:18:16,360
Speaker 8: Fortunate to exist in this universe, where existing is decidedly

1694
01:18:16,439 --> 01:18:19,680
Speaker 8: not an option in any number of capacities. I'm here

1695
01:18:20,120 --> 01:18:22,960
Speaker 8: and I'm amongst friends, and we got to watch football today,

1696
01:18:23,160 --> 01:18:30,120
Speaker 8: including Tim Boyle. The more hair raising, conspiracy laden ideas

1697
01:18:30,560 --> 01:18:32,640
Speaker 8: Tim Boyle is still starting football games.

1698
01:18:33,320 --> 01:18:34,599
Speaker 9: Yeah, coming up next week.

1699
01:18:34,680 --> 01:18:38,320
Speaker 1: Starting existence also not guaranteed, like we as Kyle Shanahan

1700
01:18:38,479 --> 01:18:41,519
Speaker 1: is you is want to point out it's true, we

1701
01:18:41,680 --> 01:18:42,680
Speaker 1: hope you're back next week.

1702
01:18:43,320 --> 01:18:45,400
Speaker 5: It's not guaranteed. I shouldn't put that out.

1703
01:18:45,720 --> 01:18:46,320
Speaker 9: It's short.

1704
01:18:46,800 --> 01:18:49,920
Speaker 1: I just made Eric very uncomfortable. Fact there, don't worry.

1705
01:18:49,960 --> 01:18:52,080
Speaker 9: If you're listening to this knock on wood, you know

1706
01:18:52,160 --> 01:18:53,840
Speaker 9: somebody you know, things could go wrong.

1707
01:18:53,960 --> 01:18:57,320
Speaker 1: That's I bet more you just maybe maybe there's a

1708
01:18:57,439 --> 01:19:00,200
Speaker 1: power outage or something like that, and we can't here.

1709
01:19:00,880 --> 01:19:03,320
Speaker 1: Nick Schuck's gonna rejoin me for Sunday night football. But

1710
01:19:03,360 --> 01:19:04,880
Speaker 1: when we come back from the break, we're actually going

1711
01:19:04,920 --> 01:19:07,360
Speaker 1: to talk to our friend Kevin Patra for.

1712
01:19:07,800 --> 01:19:09,679
Speaker 5: A couple of games.

1713
01:19:09,840 --> 01:19:21,600
Speaker 8: See that. This is it.

1714
01:19:22,160 --> 01:19:23,200
Speaker 5: Two point diversion.

1715
01:19:23,920 --> 01:19:27,080
Speaker 9: Rattler's in the gun. Jamal Williams is the best in motion.

1716
01:19:27,240 --> 01:19:28,599
Speaker 9: LaRue just scored the touchdown.

1717
01:19:28,680 --> 01:19:33,360
Speaker 8: Rattler, rolla, you was right, look a fiery throws black Blain.

1718
01:19:34,160 --> 01:19:36,040
Speaker 5: Washington went twenty to nineteen.

1719
01:19:37,120 --> 01:19:38,280
Speaker 9: Whoa drink?

1720
01:19:38,640 --> 01:19:38,840
Speaker 13: Wow?

1721
01:19:41,000 --> 01:19:45,800
Speaker 5: Wow is right? Bram Weinstein and London Fletcher w b

1722
01:19:46,320 --> 01:19:46,880
Speaker 5: I G.

1723
01:19:47,880 --> 01:19:52,599
Speaker 1: The Saints somehow got the game down to a situation

1724
01:19:53,200 --> 01:19:56,840
Speaker 1: where they went for two with no time remaining on

1725
01:19:57,040 --> 01:19:59,080
Speaker 1: the clock to win the game.

1726
01:20:00,200 --> 01:20:04,160
Speaker 5: It just didn't happen for him. Washington wins twenty to nineteen.

1727
01:20:04,400 --> 01:20:07,120
Speaker 1: And yes, our friend Kevin Patra is back on the

1728
01:20:07,200 --> 01:20:10,960
Speaker 1: show from Detroit and on a day Patra we were

1729
01:20:11,040 --> 01:20:14,360
Speaker 1: just talking about it where there weren't many close games.

1730
01:20:14,960 --> 01:20:19,000
Speaker 1: You got the best end number, So congratulations for that. Yeah,

1731
01:20:19,200 --> 01:20:20,040
Speaker 1: what happened there?

1732
01:20:20,640 --> 01:20:24,720
Speaker 17: The agenda is back on Baby Okay, Well, the I

1733
01:20:24,800 --> 01:20:26,760
Speaker 17: mean the first half was really dull.

1734
01:20:26,960 --> 01:20:27,680
Speaker 5: It was pretty dull.

1735
01:20:27,840 --> 01:20:32,640
Speaker 17: Jake Hayner was It felt like it was like in

1736
01:20:32,800 --> 01:20:35,800
Speaker 17: high school and the varsity team's quarterback got suspended for

1737
01:20:35,880 --> 01:20:38,320
Speaker 17: a half, so they called up the jv quarterback to

1738
01:20:38,400 --> 01:20:42,040
Speaker 17: play the first half, and then they got the real

1739
01:20:42,120 --> 01:20:44,400
Speaker 17: quarterback in for the second half and they started making place.

1740
01:20:44,439 --> 01:20:47,599
Speaker 17: As soon as Rattler came in at halftime, the offense

1741
01:20:47,680 --> 01:20:51,040
Speaker 17: got jumped started and he made plays. He credited him

1742
01:20:51,240 --> 01:20:52,960
Speaker 17: the last time I mean, it was stats weren't great.

1743
01:20:53,000 --> 01:20:56,280
Speaker 17: He had forty seven percent completion percentage. He missed some throws,

1744
01:20:56,360 --> 01:20:58,880
Speaker 17: but considering you know, Alvin Kamara went out with the

1745
01:20:58,960 --> 01:21:03,360
Speaker 17: groin injury and who throwing two? But he he made mvs,

1746
01:21:03,479 --> 01:21:05,360
Speaker 17: made a couple of new big plays and he marched

1747
01:21:05,439 --> 01:21:07,200
Speaker 17: him right down the field with the game on the line.

1748
01:21:07,520 --> 01:21:09,479
Speaker 17: And I thought it was the right call for Rizzy

1749
01:21:09,560 --> 01:21:12,720
Speaker 17: to go for two because in overtime, if you're you know,

1750
01:21:12,960 --> 01:21:15,760
Speaker 17: you don't have less talent, you know, I would rather

1751
01:21:15,880 --> 01:21:17,400
Speaker 17: go down to one play. And he had been on

1752
01:21:18,000 --> 01:21:20,639
Speaker 17: such a hot streak on that drive that I thought

1753
01:21:20,680 --> 01:21:22,680
Speaker 17: it was a smart smart move didn't work out for him,

1754
01:21:22,720 --> 01:21:24,400
Speaker 17: but smart move, especially given their season.

1755
01:21:24,640 --> 01:21:27,600
Speaker 1: Yes, Cedric Wilson ends up with a passing touchdown on

1756
01:21:27,680 --> 01:21:28,320
Speaker 1: a great trap.

1757
01:21:28,360 --> 01:21:29,400
Speaker 9: It was a beautiful pass.

1758
01:21:29,479 --> 01:21:32,439
Speaker 1: Here's a really good throw on a twenty ward yard throw.

1759
01:21:32,840 --> 01:21:35,080
Speaker 1: But Ratler gets a touchdown to one hundred and thirty

1760
01:21:35,080 --> 01:21:37,680
Speaker 1: five yards. And yes, you mentioned the agenda, which was

1761
01:21:37,800 --> 01:21:43,559
Speaker 1: a bubbling subplot in Saints Twitter and on NFL Daily

1762
01:21:43,720 --> 01:21:47,639
Speaker 1: to get Rattler into the lineup. And you do wonder

1763
01:21:47,720 --> 01:21:49,640
Speaker 1: if he's going to be the quarterback the rest of

1764
01:21:49,680 --> 01:21:51,680
Speaker 1: the way, or do they try to bring Derek Carr back.

1765
01:21:51,800 --> 01:21:53,320
Speaker 1: Just let's put a pin in that for a second,

1766
01:21:53,320 --> 01:21:55,240
Speaker 1: because that decision at the end of the game by Rizzy,

1767
01:21:55,280 --> 01:21:58,479
Speaker 1: I think it's the right move. It's disappointing for Rizzy,

1768
01:21:58,520 --> 01:22:01,160
Speaker 1: who's trying to pull off a Hail Mary to you know,

1769
01:22:01,560 --> 01:22:04,760
Speaker 1: remain their head coach going into next year. And it

1770
01:22:04,880 --> 01:22:09,000
Speaker 1: reminds me of the first time this ever happened, which

1771
01:22:09,120 --> 01:22:11,840
Speaker 1: is do you remember it the first time an NFL

1772
01:22:11,920 --> 01:22:14,680
Speaker 1: head coach ever went for two at the end of

1773
01:22:14,800 --> 01:22:19,240
Speaker 1: the game to win the game. No, it was John

1774
01:22:19,320 --> 01:22:21,880
Speaker 1: Gruden and the Bucks. Because you know, I'm old enough

1775
01:22:21,920 --> 01:22:24,000
Speaker 1: I remember when there weren't two point conversions, like it

1776
01:22:24,120 --> 01:22:26,200
Speaker 1: wasn't a thing, and it was such a big deal.

1777
01:22:26,320 --> 01:22:29,320
Speaker 1: The first time ever that a team went for two

1778
01:22:29,600 --> 01:22:31,519
Speaker 1: at the end to win it. John Gruden did it

1779
01:22:31,640 --> 01:22:33,720
Speaker 1: as a coach of the Bucks and they did win

1780
01:22:33,800 --> 01:22:35,160
Speaker 1: the game. I think it was like two thousand and five.

1781
01:22:35,200 --> 01:22:38,040
Speaker 1: It was late period Gruden with the Bucks, but they

1782
01:22:38,160 --> 01:22:40,800
Speaker 1: got it done. Unfortunately that wasn't the case. And it's

1783
01:22:40,840 --> 01:22:42,560
Speaker 1: a good thing for the Commanders because this would have

1784
01:22:42,600 --> 01:22:45,120
Speaker 1: been a nasty loss. I gotta admit I stopped paying

1785
01:22:45,120 --> 01:22:47,439
Speaker 1: attention to this game when it was twenty to seven

1786
01:22:47,560 --> 01:22:51,320
Speaker 1: in the fourth quarter. Just felt pretty over, like what

1787
01:22:51,560 --> 01:22:54,760
Speaker 1: happened here? And are you concerned at all about the commanders?

1788
01:22:55,840 --> 01:22:59,759
Speaker 17: No, because Jaden Daniels once again proved he's the offensive

1789
01:22:59,800 --> 01:23:01,640
Speaker 17: rood the year. There's no doubt in my mind about that.

1790
01:23:01,800 --> 01:23:05,839
Speaker 17: If there was any before for anyone, he's He commanded

1791
01:23:05,880 --> 01:23:08,880
Speaker 17: the offense with a plumb early. They jumped out to

1792
01:23:08,960 --> 01:23:11,760
Speaker 17: a big lead, but they had issues on the offensive line.

1793
01:23:11,800 --> 01:23:14,680
Speaker 17: Not having Tyler Biattish out there was huge. He got

1794
01:23:14,760 --> 01:23:17,280
Speaker 17: sacked eight times. You could just see the offensive line

1795
01:23:17,360 --> 01:23:20,120
Speaker 17: was just a mess without the center, like you know,

1796
01:23:20,640 --> 01:23:23,760
Speaker 17: having you know, control over who, what the protections were

1797
01:23:23,840 --> 01:23:26,400
Speaker 17: and such. I'm not sure how much Daniels is involved

1798
01:23:26,439 --> 01:23:29,640
Speaker 17: in that sort of thing with Cliff Kingsbury, but that

1799
01:23:30,000 --> 01:23:31,680
Speaker 17: the pressure was an issue and they kind of just

1800
01:23:31,720 --> 01:23:33,880
Speaker 17: took their foot off the gas. It really felt like

1801
01:23:34,000 --> 01:23:37,160
Speaker 17: the offense got a little laccadaisical there until the end,

1802
01:23:37,160 --> 01:23:39,000
Speaker 17: and then they pulled off a field goal drive to

1803
01:23:39,240 --> 01:23:42,120
Speaker 17: just give themselves enough wiggle room till they didn't burn it.

1804
01:23:42,960 --> 01:23:45,880
Speaker 17: But Jayden Daniels, I mean, he made so many like

1805
01:23:46,560 --> 01:23:50,040
Speaker 17: ridiculous darts over in the middle, that anticipatory throws. But

1806
01:23:50,160 --> 01:23:51,880
Speaker 17: that's who you want to see. And he used his legs.

1807
01:23:52,080 --> 01:23:54,120
Speaker 17: He was their leading rusher. They couldn't get anything going

1808
01:23:54,200 --> 01:23:57,000
Speaker 17: on the ground, which I mean the Saints defense is

1809
01:23:57,080 --> 01:24:00,040
Speaker 17: no slouch. There might be dismissed by a lot, but

1810
01:24:00,400 --> 01:24:03,519
Speaker 17: there's still a good defense up front. Run They're fine.

1811
01:24:03,600 --> 01:24:07,320
Speaker 17: And they ended with eight sacks today. Now they only

1812
01:24:07,400 --> 01:24:09,240
Speaker 17: had six quarterback hits, which is crazy.

1813
01:24:09,600 --> 01:24:10,439
Speaker 5: So compare that.

1814
01:24:10,600 --> 01:24:13,799
Speaker 1: Let's say to the Chiefs game, sacks are a quarterback

1815
01:24:13,840 --> 01:24:16,240
Speaker 1: stat in a little bit. You know, Mahomes guy hit

1816
01:24:16,360 --> 01:24:20,000
Speaker 1: twelve times trying to make plays happen. Daniel's only guy

1817
01:24:20,120 --> 01:24:21,960
Speaker 1: hit six times and ends up taking eight sacks.

1818
01:24:22,000 --> 01:24:24,040
Speaker 5: A couple of those. The reasons the difference is he

1819
01:24:24,120 --> 01:24:25,240
Speaker 5: goes out of bounds, right.

1820
01:24:26,000 --> 01:24:27,560
Speaker 17: Half of them were on the quarterback and half of

1821
01:24:27,560 --> 01:24:29,639
Speaker 17: them were on I'm messy offensive line issue.

1822
01:24:29,840 --> 01:24:32,360
Speaker 5: Okay, So let's talk about the controversy. At the end

1823
01:24:32,360 --> 01:24:32,720
Speaker 5: of the game.

1824
01:24:32,800 --> 01:24:37,200
Speaker 1: And I'm watching this game the ending sequence in the newsroom.

1825
01:24:37,400 --> 01:24:40,760
Speaker 1: Generally I'm at the desk patra, but at the end

1826
01:24:40,800 --> 01:24:43,080
Speaker 1: of the game, I walk over to the Jeremy Bergman

1827
01:24:43,680 --> 01:24:47,559
Speaker 1: David Ealy, you know, section of the newsroom to watch

1828
01:24:47,680 --> 01:24:50,280
Speaker 1: the end, so we're all like a line. You don't

1829
01:24:50,280 --> 01:24:53,200
Speaker 1: hear someone spoiling the player or anything. And I'm watching

1830
01:24:53,240 --> 01:24:55,720
Speaker 1: the end of this game, and both Bergman and I

1831
01:24:55,760 --> 01:24:58,320
Speaker 1: are like, did the clock stop there for a second?

1832
01:24:58,320 --> 01:25:01,800
Speaker 1: Because you're watching the watching them race up to it.

1833
01:25:01,880 --> 01:25:05,200
Speaker 1: They got a first down the Saints did with on

1834
01:25:05,320 --> 01:25:07,160
Speaker 1: a play with just a handful of seconds to go.

1835
01:25:07,280 --> 01:25:09,479
Speaker 1: They snapped it with seventeen seconds left. It was fourth

1836
01:25:09,560 --> 01:25:13,080
Speaker 1: and three. They throw the ball to Foster Morrow down

1837
01:25:13,160 --> 01:25:16,160
Speaker 1: to the one yard line, and it seemed for a

1838
01:25:16,240 --> 01:25:19,160
Speaker 1: second that like the clock stop, and I thought it

1839
01:25:19,280 --> 01:25:21,720
Speaker 1: did absolutely do Yeah, I thought it was only for

1840
01:25:21,880 --> 01:25:25,400
Speaker 1: a second. After the game, they they were asked about it,

1841
01:25:25,560 --> 01:25:29,120
Speaker 1: they had to have a pool report. Hockey Lely said

1842
01:25:29,439 --> 01:25:32,839
Speaker 1: the covering official mistakenly stopped the clock. In that situation,

1843
01:25:33,280 --> 01:25:35,559
Speaker 1: the clock should not have been stopped. We have Dan

1844
01:25:35,720 --> 01:25:37,840
Speaker 1: Quinn also asked about it after the game.

1845
01:25:38,120 --> 01:25:40,000
Speaker 5: Did you get stop?

1846
01:25:40,840 --> 01:25:43,280
Speaker 10: I don't, And I am absolutely taking the high road

1847
01:25:43,360 --> 01:25:46,160
Speaker 10: right now, Dave about that. I saw a quick video

1848
01:25:46,320 --> 01:25:50,240
Speaker 10: of that, and so I will wait from the response

1849
01:25:50,320 --> 01:25:53,960
Speaker 10: from New York. But those three seconds are critical man,

1850
01:25:54,080 --> 01:25:59,360
Speaker 10: let's just say that, yeah, we're on to Philadelphia.

1851
01:26:00,400 --> 01:26:02,240
Speaker 1: I mean, you can't say I'm gonna take the high

1852
01:26:02,280 --> 01:26:04,240
Speaker 1: road and then just then you got to go out

1853
01:26:04,240 --> 01:26:04,519
Speaker 1: about it.

1854
01:26:04,720 --> 01:26:08,439
Speaker 5: It's fine. I don't know if the game would have ended.

1855
01:26:09,360 --> 01:26:10,920
Speaker 5: It was giffy. It was close.

1856
01:26:11,120 --> 01:26:15,280
Speaker 1: So Patrick Claybonn, who who's left the studio, did do

1857
01:26:16,120 --> 01:26:20,720
Speaker 1: an unofficial stopwatch of it. He believes there probably would

1858
01:26:20,720 --> 01:26:24,439
Speaker 1: have been one second, last second that that it wouldn't

1859
01:26:24,439 --> 01:26:26,400
Speaker 1: have been the difference. So it is one of those

1860
01:26:26,600 --> 01:26:30,080
Speaker 1: bald don't lie situations, perhaps, or at least for us.

1861
01:26:30,200 --> 01:26:32,320
Speaker 1: I'm just happy that that's not the story of the

1862
01:26:32,400 --> 01:26:35,240
Speaker 1: game because the Commanders are in the middle of a

1863
01:26:35,280 --> 01:26:37,439
Speaker 1: playoff race here and if that had cost.

1864
01:26:37,280 --> 01:26:40,280
Speaker 5: Them a win, it would have been brutal. Absolutely.

1865
01:26:40,760 --> 01:26:42,920
Speaker 1: I don't know, man, there's something about this Commanders team.

1866
01:26:42,960 --> 01:26:45,920
Speaker 1: They don't have many quality wins really any No, this.

1867
01:26:46,000 --> 01:26:47,640
Speaker 17: What this one was important because I think they go

1868
01:26:47,720 --> 01:26:50,960
Speaker 17: to Philly next week and they need there's a couple

1869
01:26:51,040 --> 01:26:53,840
Speaker 17: teams snipping at their heels. They absolutely, one hundred percent

1870
01:26:53,960 --> 01:26:55,680
Speaker 17: needed to come out with us a win. If that

1871
01:26:55,840 --> 01:26:58,760
Speaker 17: two point conversion had hit, I think they spiral out.

1872
01:26:58,840 --> 01:27:00,479
Speaker 17: I don't think they make the playof at all.

1873
01:27:01,680 --> 01:27:02,280
Speaker 5: That's brutal.

1874
01:27:02,400 --> 01:27:05,200
Speaker 1: They do have the Falcons after the Eagles, so they

1875
01:27:05,240 --> 01:27:08,760
Speaker 1: have two home games Eagles then Falcons, than at Cowboys.

1876
01:27:09,240 --> 01:27:11,519
Speaker 1: And yeah, if they can't pull off the upset against

1877
01:27:11,560 --> 01:27:14,120
Speaker 1: the Eagles, they're officially eliminated, of course from the division.

1878
01:27:14,640 --> 01:27:18,160
Speaker 1: But then that Falcons game looms really large, and then

1879
01:27:18,200 --> 01:27:22,320
Speaker 1: those NFC West teams can think, maybe we could sneak

1880
01:27:22,600 --> 01:27:26,360
Speaker 1: a second team into the playoffs. But a big one

1881
01:27:26,520 --> 01:27:28,760
Speaker 1: win that they got it done. Even if there's some

1882
01:27:28,920 --> 01:27:31,720
Speaker 1: concern here with the offensive line and the running game

1883
01:27:31,920 --> 01:27:34,040
Speaker 1: and even the defense giving up a drive late to

1884
01:27:34,160 --> 01:27:36,160
Speaker 1: Spencer Rattler, they come away with it.

1885
01:27:36,680 --> 01:27:37,680
Speaker 5: Let's go to.

1886
01:27:37,840 --> 01:27:42,240
Speaker 1: Carolina now, Patra Cooper Rush, he's part of the new

1887
01:27:42,320 --> 01:27:43,240
Speaker 1: Triplets in Dallas.

1888
01:27:43,479 --> 01:27:48,840
Speaker 4: First and ten at the Carolina seventeen turpin in motion

1889
01:27:49,000 --> 01:27:52,160
Speaker 4: from right to left, Schnapter Rush looking left, looking looking

1890
01:27:52,280 --> 01:27:55,920
Speaker 4: standing now rolling outside the right scramble. Drill throws it

1891
01:27:56,000 --> 01:27:59,799
Speaker 4: in the end on the ball is caught by Jalen

1892
01:28:00,120 --> 01:28:01,280
Speaker 4: Rocks for a touchdown.

1893
01:28:02,720 --> 01:28:03,680
Speaker 5: Oh about that.

1894
01:28:05,439 --> 01:28:08,920
Speaker 1: Break up the Cowboys offense, Yeah, that's Brad Sham on

1895
01:28:09,160 --> 01:28:14,200
Speaker 1: k RLD. Cowboys get it done as road underdogs thirty

1896
01:28:14,800 --> 01:28:19,439
Speaker 1: to fourteen. Rush throws for three touchdowns two hundred and

1897
01:28:19,439 --> 01:28:23,200
Speaker 1: fourteen yards. Rico Daddle goes for one forty nine. He's

1898
01:28:23,240 --> 01:28:25,040
Speaker 1: at he's at like three hundred and eighty yards. He's

1899
01:28:25,040 --> 01:28:28,160
Speaker 1: winen fantasy leagues over the last three weeks. And Ceedee

1900
01:28:28,200 --> 01:28:30,519
Speaker 1: Lamb goes nine for one to sixteen despite playing with

1901
01:28:30,640 --> 01:28:34,200
Speaker 1: his backup quarterbacks, they cruise. I can't believe the Cowboys.

1902
01:28:34,240 --> 01:28:36,640
Speaker 1: I know they were playing the Panthers, but they went

1903
01:28:36,680 --> 01:28:37,799
Speaker 1: over four hundred yards.

1904
01:28:38,479 --> 01:28:38,920
Speaker 5: Yeah, they did.

1905
01:28:39,000 --> 01:28:42,600
Speaker 17: I thought it Rico'donnnell since he's since Mike McCarthy's just

1906
01:28:42,680 --> 01:28:44,599
Speaker 17: given him the ball and let him be the lead

1907
01:28:44,720 --> 01:28:47,360
Speaker 17: back as opposed to all this messing with Zeke and

1908
01:28:48,080 --> 01:28:51,360
Speaker 17: Cook and all that noise. They've they've really become an

1909
01:28:51,400 --> 01:28:54,559
Speaker 17: offense that at least they can move the chains. And rico'

1910
01:28:54,560 --> 01:28:57,360
Speaker 17: dondal he doesn't have many explosive runs a long as

1911
01:28:57,439 --> 01:29:00,959
Speaker 17: like twelve, but he can keep you in down in distances.

1912
01:29:01,000 --> 01:29:02,960
Speaker 17: And then Cooper Rush he had a really bad fumble

1913
01:29:03,040 --> 01:29:04,800
Speaker 17: and the half and that was like the only half

1914
01:29:05,040 --> 01:29:07,120
Speaker 17: part of the game where you thought the Panthers might

1915
01:29:07,160 --> 01:29:09,759
Speaker 17: have a chance. They bombed an eighty three yard touchdown.

1916
01:29:10,960 --> 01:29:13,880
Speaker 17: But after that, the Cowboys just took care of business.

1917
01:29:14,000 --> 01:29:17,120
Speaker 17: It was lamb and Dawdle Lamban Dawdle, Lambon Daddle basically

1918
01:29:17,720 --> 01:29:20,360
Speaker 17: all down the field and Cooper Rush didn't throw any

1919
01:29:20,400 --> 01:29:23,640
Speaker 17: picks and he managed the game like he does. And

1920
01:29:23,720 --> 01:29:28,160
Speaker 17: I thought the defense finally played like their front can play.

1921
01:29:29,160 --> 01:29:32,840
Speaker 17: Parsons and o'diggy Zoo dominated. They had six sacks all

1922
01:29:32,920 --> 01:29:34,400
Speaker 17: in the second half, not the two of them, but

1923
01:29:34,520 --> 01:29:37,720
Speaker 17: the Cowboys. I mean, they were going against a not

1924
01:29:37,960 --> 01:29:43,559
Speaker 17: good Carolina offensive line, but they controlled the ballgame up front,

1925
01:29:43,800 --> 01:29:45,080
Speaker 17: and they messed with Bryce Young.

1926
01:29:45,560 --> 01:29:45,800
Speaker 5: Yeah.

1927
01:29:46,360 --> 01:29:50,680
Speaker 1: How concerning a performance was this for Bryce Young? He

1928
01:29:51,080 --> 01:29:55,200
Speaker 1: lost two fumbles, had two interceptions, so four turnovers overall.

1929
01:29:55,240 --> 01:29:57,800
Speaker 1: I saw some impressive plays by him, but they've been

1930
01:29:57,880 --> 01:30:02,200
Speaker 1: stacking it positive. I think losing by sixteen to this

1931
01:30:02,439 --> 01:30:07,920
Speaker 1: Cowboys team is disappointing and it is a reminder the

1932
01:30:08,040 --> 01:30:11,719
Speaker 1: final story of this Bryce aissance will be written after

1933
01:30:11,960 --> 01:30:14,519
Speaker 1: week eighteen, and so the next three weeks are going

1934
01:30:14,600 --> 01:30:16,000
Speaker 1: to be important for him.

1935
01:30:16,080 --> 01:30:17,920
Speaker 5: You don't want to stack performances like this.

1936
01:30:18,240 --> 01:30:19,000
Speaker 9: Right right?

1937
01:30:19,240 --> 01:30:22,680
Speaker 17: I thought in my assessment was it obviously was a

1938
01:30:22,760 --> 01:30:25,320
Speaker 17: downslope in the roller coaster that's been his thing after

1939
01:30:25,640 --> 01:30:28,200
Speaker 17: you know, three weeks of going up the track. So

1940
01:30:29,040 --> 01:30:30,800
Speaker 17: I think you kind of expect that this team is

1941
01:30:30,880 --> 01:30:33,880
Speaker 17: still lacking talent. They still have questions on the old line.

1942
01:30:34,120 --> 01:30:36,559
Speaker 17: They didn't get anything from the running game today, which

1943
01:30:36,560 --> 01:30:39,280
Speaker 17: has been their bread and butter and helped open up

1944
01:30:39,280 --> 01:30:41,760
Speaker 17: the play action passing. And you know, still they still

1945
01:30:41,800 --> 01:30:44,760
Speaker 17: have some deficits that pass catcher and Bryce made his

1946
01:30:44,920 --> 01:30:47,400
Speaker 17: first interception. I mean Greg Olsen did a perfect job

1947
01:30:47,439 --> 01:30:49,439
Speaker 17: explaining why he went to the wrong target. He tried

1948
01:30:49,479 --> 01:30:51,040
Speaker 17: to force it to feel in and he had a

1949
01:30:51,080 --> 01:30:53,639
Speaker 17: wide open tight end on the outside and he should

1950
01:30:53,640 --> 01:30:57,479
Speaker 17: have just hit that slant. But he had some poor

1951
01:30:57,560 --> 01:31:02,280
Speaker 17: decisions that were reminiscent of release season Bryce. But he splashes.

1952
01:31:02,400 --> 01:31:05,160
Speaker 17: He's splashed in some big plays and some key plays

1953
01:31:05,960 --> 01:31:08,720
Speaker 17: that make you think that he can still do it, don't.

1954
01:31:09,000 --> 01:31:12,120
Speaker 17: I wasn't completely dejected as as we thought early in

1955
01:31:12,160 --> 01:31:14,000
Speaker 17: a season like Week one and two when he was

1956
01:31:14,080 --> 01:31:16,200
Speaker 17: really bad. It was an up and down game, and

1957
01:31:16,280 --> 01:31:19,200
Speaker 17: I think we should expect those from a second year

1958
01:31:19,320 --> 01:31:21,880
Speaker 17: quarterback with so few starts. Every once in a while.

1959
01:31:22,200 --> 01:31:24,759
Speaker 1: Yeah, he hit that eighty three yard or to Cocer

1960
01:31:25,280 --> 01:31:28,400
Speaker 1: for a touchdown. So good to get the other rookie

1961
01:31:28,520 --> 01:31:33,200
Speaker 1: going there, Jalen Cocher. But a disappointing game. It it's

1962
01:31:34,160 --> 01:31:36,439
Speaker 1: crazy to me that the Cowboys are six and eight.

1963
01:31:36,479 --> 01:31:38,280
Speaker 1: They just don't feel like they have the same record

1964
01:31:38,360 --> 01:31:42,920
Speaker 1: as let's say, the Bengals or the Dolphins or the Colts.

1965
01:31:43,360 --> 01:31:46,120
Speaker 1: But neither of these teams are eliminated. Somehow, no teams

1966
01:31:46,680 --> 01:31:50,360
Speaker 1: that played on Sunday were eliminated. The Panthers are actually

1967
01:31:50,400 --> 01:31:53,559
Speaker 1: still technically alive. I don't know how that works. Yeah,

1968
01:31:53,640 --> 01:31:55,400
Speaker 1: how does that work in the NFC?

1969
01:31:55,560 --> 01:31:58,519
Speaker 17: So everybody ties and they keep winning some hig I don't.

1970
01:31:58,360 --> 01:31:59,400
Speaker 9: Know, something like that.

1971
01:31:59,600 --> 01:32:04,439
Speaker 1: And the Cowboys are still alive technically for the wild card.

1972
01:32:04,640 --> 01:32:07,720
Speaker 1: And you mentioned some bad decisions out of Bryce young man.

1973
01:32:07,880 --> 01:32:10,600
Speaker 1: We made some bad decisions on Wednesday.

1974
01:32:10,880 --> 01:32:15,760
Speaker 5: Play the music, Eric. It was quite a run this.

1975
01:32:15,880 --> 01:32:18,800
Speaker 1: Podcast, Kevin was on in terms of our survivor picks.

1976
01:32:19,680 --> 01:32:22,280
Speaker 1: In some controversy early in the season, once we all

1977
01:32:22,400 --> 01:32:27,719
Speaker 1: joined forces. We had been going for twelve straight weeks

1978
01:32:27,760 --> 01:32:32,280
Speaker 1: here thirteen straight weeks, and we got a little over

1979
01:32:32,320 --> 01:32:35,280
Speaker 1: our skis going Panthers. We hadn't picked the Panthers to

1980
01:32:35,400 --> 01:32:39,599
Speaker 1: win even a single game between Patrick buy all season,

1981
01:32:40,120 --> 01:32:43,599
Speaker 1: and we picked them to win. To apologies to everyone

1982
01:32:43,640 --> 01:32:46,080
Speaker 1: who was following along and especially to Steve Wis. She

1983
01:32:46,200 --> 01:32:50,680
Speaker 1: wasn't there to stop us from doing this. I apologize

1984
01:32:51,800 --> 01:32:56,599
Speaker 1: forgetting on board. Yes, the Cowboys season is still alive. Patra,

1985
01:32:57,080 --> 01:32:59,439
Speaker 1: fun to have you back on the show. The Beard

1986

1987
01:33:03,320 --> 01:33:05,360
Speaker 1: Have a great holiday. If we don't talk to you before.

1988
01:33:05,160 --> 01:33:06,080
Speaker 9: Appreciate it. Yep.

1989
01:33:06,240 --> 01:33:08,200
Speaker 17: Have a merry Christmas to everyone, and happy Honika.

1990

Speaker 1: Look at that Kevin Patrack come in at you back

1991
01:33:11,560 --> 01:33:14,080
Speaker 1: on NFL Daily. Let's go to Sunday Night Football.

1992
01:33:14,360 --> 01:33:15,679
Speaker 5: In the shotgun is love.

1993
01:33:16,400 --> 01:33:20,000
Speaker 12: Chris Brooks to his left, third down and five snapped

1994
01:33:20,040 --> 01:33:21,280
Speaker 12: to love, has time.

1995
01:33:22,800 --> 01:33:28,679
Speaker 13: Ms on for dub dubbing grab touchdown? What a play,

1996
01:33:30,520 --> 01:33:34,439
Speaker 13: what a flo What a catch Romeo dubbs.

1997
01:33:34,960 --> 01:33:40,040
Speaker 1: Wayne Laravie on WR and W Yes that great grab

1998
01:33:40,160 --> 01:33:41,200
Speaker 1: by Romeo dops.

1999
01:33:41,280 --> 01:33:43,880
Speaker 5: It seems like his his only grabs are great.

2000
01:33:44,400 --> 01:33:46,679
Speaker 1: What a pair of hands on that guy go three

2001
01:33:46,720 --> 01:33:50,479
Speaker 1: for forty but gets two touchdowns on the game thirty

2002
01:33:50,560 --> 01:33:51,200
Speaker 1: to thirteen.

2003
01:33:51,320 --> 01:33:52,240
Speaker 5: The Packers win.

2004
01:33:52,360 --> 01:33:57,760
Speaker 1: It really completes a theme of the day shook a

2005
01:33:57,840 --> 01:34:01,680
Speaker 1: lot of important games, a lot of great performances, not

2006
01:34:01,800 --> 01:34:04,519
Speaker 1: a lot of close games, and a lot of key injuries.

2007
01:34:04,600 --> 01:34:07,600
Speaker 1: We will get to Gino Smith leaving this one and

2008
01:34:07,920 --> 01:34:10,320
Speaker 1: what that's gonna mean for the NFC West race, but

2009
01:34:10,439 --> 01:34:14,120
Speaker 1: let's give the Packers their flowers. Their offense came out

2010
01:34:14,600 --> 01:34:18,920
Speaker 1: like gangbusters in the first half and ultimately did enough

2011
01:34:19,000 --> 01:34:21,599
Speaker 1: defensively so that they didn't have to sweat it late.

2012
01:34:22,479 --> 01:34:24,360
Speaker 6: Yeah, a couple of long scoring drives earlyer. This is

2013
01:34:24,400 --> 01:34:26,439
Speaker 6: a game that had a lot of like pretty long

2014
01:34:26,520 --> 01:34:28,519
Speaker 6: possessions on both sides. Like you look at the first

2015
01:34:28,560 --> 01:34:30,320
Speaker 6: four possessions for the Packers in the first half, they

2016
01:34:30,360 --> 01:34:33,479
Speaker 6: go touchdown, touchdown, field goal, field goal, and every possession

2017
01:34:33,680 --> 01:34:36,200
Speaker 6: was except for the last one, more than three and

2018
01:34:36,200 --> 01:34:37,960
Speaker 6: a half minutes. And then the Seahawks were kind of

2019
01:34:37,960 --> 01:34:41,080
Speaker 6: similar too, only difference was the score. And then, you know,

2020
01:34:41,280 --> 01:34:43,080
Speaker 6: just as things started to get interesting in the second half,

2021
01:34:43,200 --> 01:34:45,720
Speaker 6: that's when Gino exits with what has been reported to

2022
01:34:45,760 --> 01:34:46,719
Speaker 6: be a knee injury.

2023
01:34:46,800 --> 01:34:47,840
Speaker 7: He was questionable to return.

2024
01:34:47,920 --> 01:34:49,479
Speaker 6: You could tell by the images on the sideline that

2025
01:34:49,520 --> 01:34:51,320
Speaker 6: he was not going to come back, and that kind

2026
01:34:51,320 --> 01:34:53,200
Speaker 6: of sucked the juice out of it for the Seahawks

2027
01:34:53,280 --> 01:34:54,960
Speaker 6: like it. From then on, you could pretty much tell

2028
01:34:55,040 --> 01:34:57,680
Speaker 6: the Packers were the better team tonight, probably the better

2029
01:34:57,760 --> 01:34:59,840
Speaker 6: team overall, and they were gonna finish off a victory

2030
01:34:59,880 --> 01:35:03,120
Speaker 6: that they had very much earned while you know, still taling,

2031
01:35:03,200 --> 01:35:05,400
Speaker 6: you know, under four hundred yards, but a solid offensive

2032
01:35:05,479 --> 01:35:08,360
Speaker 6: night with booed by a strong start and a strong finish.

2033
01:35:08,760 --> 01:35:11,559
Speaker 1: Yeah, ultimately, I'm not going to ding them too much

2034
01:35:11,880 --> 01:35:15,120
Speaker 1: for playing with their food in the second half, especially

2035
01:35:15,680 --> 01:35:18,880
Speaker 1: the fourth quarter. They they had a little four drive

2036
01:35:19,040 --> 01:35:22,360
Speaker 1: run there in the fourth quarter where it was two

2037
01:35:22,520 --> 01:35:24,720
Speaker 1: three and outs, a fumble and then a turnover on

2038
01:35:24,840 --> 01:35:28,759
Speaker 1: downs on a really short drive for the Packers because

2039
01:35:28,800 --> 01:35:31,599
Speaker 1: they started so well, like they came out with intent

2040
01:35:31,960 --> 01:35:35,439
Speaker 1: that first drive that was all Josh Jacob's huge holes.

2041
01:35:35,760 --> 01:35:39,040
Speaker 1: This Seattle run defense had been better in recent weeks.

2042
01:35:39,280 --> 01:35:42,040
Speaker 1: The Packers, who are known for their offensive line and

2043
01:35:42,240 --> 01:35:45,360
Speaker 1: their running game, their best was better than what had

2044
01:35:45,439 --> 01:35:48,479
Speaker 1: been Seattle's best over the last few weeks on their defense.

2045
01:35:48,520 --> 01:35:51,280
Speaker 1: And the second drive, you know, that throw that Jordan

2046
01:35:51,360 --> 01:35:55,000
Speaker 1: Love had to Christian Watson down the sidelines was fantastic.

2047
01:35:55,120 --> 01:35:57,240
Speaker 1: Did they get a couple touchdown drives, a couple of

2048
01:35:57,240 --> 01:36:01,240
Speaker 1: field goal drives. They score on all four possessions, and

2049
01:36:01,320 --> 01:36:04,880
Speaker 1: I'm thinking, you know, going into halftime, mat Gino must

2050
01:36:04,880 --> 01:36:08,600
Speaker 1: be playing terribly and not really. The game was fourteen

2051
01:36:08,680 --> 01:36:11,840
Speaker 1: to three or fourteen to zero rather, and they'd only

2052
01:36:11,920 --> 01:36:15,240
Speaker 1: run four plays on offense Seattle. And then he makes

2053
01:36:15,280 --> 01:36:17,360
Speaker 1: a number of nice throws. He's under a lot of

2054
01:36:17,439 --> 01:36:19,680
Speaker 1: quick pressure, and he makes the big mistake of the

2055
01:36:19,800 --> 01:36:23,360
Speaker 1: night after a long drive, that interception where the two

2056
01:36:23,960 --> 01:36:26,599
Speaker 1: routes were two condensed in the red zone, he gets

2057
01:36:26,640 --> 01:36:29,200
Speaker 1: picked off. That's that's the only third possession that they

2058
01:36:29,240 --> 01:36:32,000
Speaker 1: have and they end up going to halftime. It felt

2059
01:36:32,040 --> 01:36:34,719
Speaker 1: like the game was over. Then add injury to insult.

2060
01:36:34,800 --> 01:36:37,400
Speaker 1: He gets hurt on a play where he gets hit low.

2061
01:36:37,840 --> 01:36:40,280
Speaker 1: They don't throw the flag because of a rule that

2062
01:36:40,360 --> 01:36:43,080
Speaker 1: I didn't know that you had to have your feet

2063
01:36:43,400 --> 01:36:45,479
Speaker 1: on the ground for it to count as a penalty.

2064
01:36:46,200 --> 01:36:50,479
Speaker 1: And that injury could end the Seahawks season if Gino

2065
01:36:50,600 --> 01:36:52,599
Speaker 1: can't get back on the field, because we saw tonight

2066
01:36:52,960 --> 01:36:59,320
Speaker 1: Sam Howell is unplayable. He had seventeen dropbacks. They had

2067
01:36:59,479 --> 01:37:02,439
Speaker 1: under one yard per play. On those dropbacks, he had

2068
01:37:02,479 --> 01:37:06,160
Speaker 1: twenty four yards passing and interception, took three sacks and

2069
01:37:06,360 --> 01:37:08,519
Speaker 1: it was just over once he entered the game. With

2070
01:37:08,600 --> 01:37:10,720
Speaker 1: all the extra possessions they got because their defense played

2071
01:37:10,760 --> 01:37:12,720
Speaker 1: better in the second half, maybe they could have come

2072
01:37:12,800 --> 01:37:15,200
Speaker 1: back in this game if Gino was out there, but

2073
01:37:15,760 --> 01:37:17,960
Speaker 1: they were done otherwise. And I don't want to take

2074
01:37:17,960 --> 01:37:20,920
Speaker 1: anything away from the Packers because their defense got after

2075
01:37:21,280 --> 01:37:23,880
Speaker 1: Gino pretty well when he was out there. The quick

2076
01:37:23,960 --> 01:37:26,880
Speaker 1: pressure rate they noted was over twenty percent when Gino

2077
01:37:26,960 --> 01:37:29,200
Speaker 1: was in the game, which is extremely high for pressure

2078
01:37:29,600 --> 01:37:31,800
Speaker 1: under two and a half second. So the Packers with

2079
01:37:32,000 --> 01:37:34,680
Speaker 1: Eddrian Cooper with Kenny Clark, like their defense has had

2080
01:37:34,760 --> 01:37:37,719
Speaker 1: better moments lately. As long as they're not playing the Lions,

2081
01:37:37,760 --> 01:37:38,519
Speaker 1: they look pretty good.

2082
01:37:39,200 --> 01:37:41,240
Speaker 6: Yeah, And first off, Edge Cooper, that was one of

2083
01:37:41,240 --> 01:37:43,320
Speaker 6: my favorite guys at the Combine made the All Combine team,

2084
01:37:43,320 --> 01:37:44,720
Speaker 6: and I'm glad to see him succeeding in the back

2085
01:37:44,720 --> 01:37:46,439
Speaker 6: half of the season. He is a stud, He's a

2086
01:37:46,560 --> 01:37:48,360
Speaker 6: missile as a linebacker, and he saw a lot of

2087
01:37:48,439 --> 01:37:50,599
Speaker 6: it tonight. And the ball skills, you know, picking off

2088
01:37:50,720 --> 01:37:53,599
Speaker 6: how in this game to essentially salted away. But yeah,

2089
01:37:53,880 --> 01:37:56,280
Speaker 6: as soon as you saw saw Sam Howel the field

2090
01:37:56,320 --> 01:37:58,280
Speaker 6: what you saw was a guy who clearly hadn't played

2091
01:37:58,320 --> 01:38:02,040
Speaker 6: since last season, and the rust was there, the lack

2092
01:38:02,120 --> 01:38:04,880
Speaker 6: of internal clock was there. Like he was just slow

2093
01:38:04,960 --> 01:38:07,000
Speaker 6: to decide, hesitant to throw, which is not who he

2094
01:38:07,120 --> 01:38:08,720
Speaker 6: was in Washington. He let it rip plenty when he

2095
01:38:08,760 --> 01:38:11,240
Speaker 6: was in Washington. Was afraid to throw essentially back there.

2096
01:38:11,479 --> 01:38:13,640
Speaker 7: And that allowed the Packers defense to pin their ears back.

2097
01:38:13,720 --> 01:38:15,920
Speaker 6: Kingsley and bar I got in there, Cooper got in

2098
01:38:16,000 --> 01:38:17,280
Speaker 6: there like no matter who it was, a number of

2099
01:38:17,280 --> 01:38:20,080
Speaker 6: different guys got after him, and like I said, it

2100
01:38:20,200 --> 01:38:21,760
Speaker 6: took the life out of the Seahawks. They had no

2101
01:38:21,880 --> 01:38:24,439
Speaker 6: shot coming back because this game was very much, you know,

2102
01:38:24,760 --> 01:38:27,040
Speaker 6: it was for the taking because the Packers offense hit

2103
01:38:27,080 --> 01:38:29,360
Speaker 6: a lot. Like Jacobs gets to halftime, for example, they

2104
01:38:29,360 --> 01:38:31,080
Speaker 6: had that strong first half. He gets to halftime with

2105
01:38:31,120 --> 01:38:34,120
Speaker 6: fourteen for seventy three and a touchdown. His next twelve

2106
01:38:34,200 --> 01:38:36,320
Speaker 6: carries he gets twenty one yards total. And that's not

2107
01:38:36,360 --> 01:38:38,599
Speaker 6: a knock on him, it's just kind of the description

2108
01:38:38,760 --> 01:38:40,360
Speaker 6: of the game script and the flow of the game

2109
01:38:40,400 --> 01:38:42,559
Speaker 6: and what happened. And yet the Packers still pull away

2110
01:38:42,560 --> 01:38:44,519
Speaker 6: because they are a team filled with pros coached by

2111
01:38:44,560 --> 01:38:46,720
Speaker 6: a pro who was highlighted in the second half, and

2112
01:38:47,120 --> 01:38:48,800
Speaker 6: it's a nice win for them on the road and

2113
01:38:49,320 --> 01:38:51,720
Speaker 6: we'll see where it takes them here, Whereas Seahawks fan's

2114
01:38:51,760 --> 01:38:53,719
Speaker 6: gonna be keeping their fingers crossed because if they get bad.

2115
01:38:53,640 --> 01:38:55,679
Speaker 7: News on Gino, this season's gonna go up and smoke

2116
01:38:55,720 --> 01:38:56,160
Speaker 7: real quick.

2117
01:38:56,479 --> 01:38:56,719
Speaker 17: Yeah.

2118
01:38:56,920 --> 01:38:58,639
Speaker 5: They are now eight and six.

2119
01:38:58,760 --> 01:39:01,599
Speaker 1: The Rams are in first place in the division, although

2120
01:39:01,880 --> 01:39:06,280
Speaker 1: it's tied technically, but the Rams have the tiebreaker because

2121
01:39:06,280 --> 01:39:08,439
Speaker 1: they beat Seattle head to head. Those two teams face

2122
01:39:08,840 --> 01:39:11,320
Speaker 1: each other in week eighteen. Now I've been assuming that

2123
01:39:11,479 --> 01:39:15,880
Speaker 1: game's gonna be for the division title. You lose Geno here,

2124
01:39:16,439 --> 01:39:18,759
Speaker 1: you're not that competitive against the Packers.

2125
01:39:19,320 --> 01:39:21,920
Speaker 5: If you're a Seahawks fan, you have to be worried.

2126
01:39:22,840 --> 01:39:25,400
Speaker 1: Will they be down two games going into that Will

2127
01:39:25,439 --> 01:39:27,400
Speaker 1: they have a chance to compete in the division. You

2128
01:39:27,479 --> 01:39:31,280
Speaker 1: have Minnesota coming in next week, and then you're at

2129
01:39:31,439 --> 01:39:35,760
Speaker 1: Chicago on Thursday Night football the day after Christmas. I

2130
01:39:35,800 --> 01:39:38,519
Speaker 1: can't believe they're doing Thursday Night football the day after

2131
01:39:38,600 --> 01:39:42,519
Speaker 1: having two Christmas games. That sort of I miss that

2132
01:39:42,680 --> 01:39:44,640
Speaker 1: somewhere along the way. And so that Bears game might

2133
01:39:44,720 --> 01:39:48,080
Speaker 1: be a must win for Seattle, but worrisome because they

2134
01:39:48,120 --> 01:39:53,160
Speaker 1: also lost their center Oloatami, who had helped out their

2135
01:39:53,479 --> 01:39:56,439
Speaker 1: offensive line, and the offensive line did not play as

2136
01:39:56,479 --> 01:39:58,800
Speaker 1: well today, Like I said, giving up a lot of

2137
01:39:58,880 --> 01:40:02,360
Speaker 1: quick pressures. Given a lot of love to your boy Cooper,

2138
01:40:02,560 --> 01:40:04,720
Speaker 1: who their defense is just different when he's out there.

2139
01:40:04,760 --> 01:40:06,280
Speaker 1: He has not been out there for them. He is

2140
01:40:06,320 --> 01:40:08,800
Speaker 1: their best linebacker and he is a rookie. I really

2141
01:40:08,840 --> 01:40:11,240
Speaker 1: have noticed that Kenny Clark has played better lately. Their

2142
01:40:11,320 --> 01:40:14,559
Speaker 1: four man rush is getting there, and the Packers occupy

2143
01:40:14,640 --> 01:40:18,960
Speaker 1: this really strange space where they're awesome. They're ten and

2144
01:40:19,080 --> 01:40:23,200
Speaker 1: four right and they're almost playing for nothing the rest

2145
01:40:23,280 --> 01:40:25,600
Speaker 1: of the way, like they can't win their division. I

2146
01:40:25,680 --> 01:40:28,640
Speaker 1: mean they could, but they're almost certainly not going to

2147
01:40:29,160 --> 01:40:32,280
Speaker 1: down two games and they're probably just stuck in that

2148
01:40:32,520 --> 01:40:36,719
Speaker 1: sixth spot. But the NBC telecast showed a great graphic

2149
01:40:36,840 --> 01:40:40,320
Speaker 1: that their opponent's winning percentage in terms of their losses

2150
01:40:40,600 --> 01:40:43,280
Speaker 1: is the highest in NFL history because they've only lost

2151
01:40:43,360 --> 01:40:45,679
Speaker 1: the teams that are either eleven and two or twelve

2152
01:40:45,720 --> 01:40:49,439
Speaker 1: and two. I mean, it's incredible. So they're just kind

2153
01:40:49,479 --> 01:40:51,759
Speaker 1: of gearing up for the playoffs. They know they're almost

2154
01:40:51,760 --> 01:40:53,479
Speaker 1: certainly going to be on the road for three games,

2155
01:40:53,720 --> 01:40:57,559
Speaker 1: and Seattle's loss just opens the door just a little bit.

2156
01:40:57,640 --> 01:41:00,599
Speaker 1: The Cardinals are there at seven and seven and think, okay,

2157
01:41:00,840 --> 01:41:03,200
Speaker 1: maybe we do have more of a path. According to

2158
01:41:03,280 --> 01:41:06,000
Speaker 1: next Gen stats, Cardinals are up to thirteen percent to

2159
01:41:06,200 --> 01:41:09,080
Speaker 1: make the playoffs. The Packers, by the way, if you're curious,

2160
01:41:10,000 --> 01:41:12,640
Speaker 1: are at ninety nine over ninety nine percent, but not

2161
01:41:12,840 --> 01:41:16,519
Speaker 1: technically in this game actually clinched the playoffs for the

2162
01:41:16,600 --> 01:41:19,600
