Speaker 1: Wilson, pulled against the brain throws cart those Luke Wilson
Speaker 1: for the touchdown, pulled into the touchdown. He beats Troy
Speaker 1: Hill going deep. Didn't feel getting free touchdowp fifty seven yards.
Speaker 1: Sloppy NFC West clash that started strange and turned stranger
Speaker 1: throughout the game. This is Chris Westling. I've got NFL
Speaker 1: Networks Greg Rosenthal live from Seattle, fresh from the Seahawks
Speaker 1: winning locker room, to start the Around the NFL podcast.
Speaker 1: I am, I am so delighted that ye're starting the
Speaker 1: show this week. I think we need to to make
Speaker 1: it a weekly thing. Of course, you know we got
Speaker 1: Dan hands Mark definitely and all the picks later. But yeah,
Speaker 1: they sent me. They sent me to an ugly game.
Speaker 1: This was a game that was annoying you, West I know,
Speaker 1: as you were watching, I thought it was the death
Speaker 1: of football for a while there. We had garish uniforms,
Speaker 1: hideous end zone painting, uh sloppy football flags, challenges, no
Speaker 1: rhythm in the game. It was just a bad football game. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I agree with you and it but it didn't look
Speaker 1: that different than almost every Rams game. And the sad
Speaker 1: part is, I think the way the Seahawks offense is
Speaker 1: playing right now, like this is what Seahawks football is
Speaker 1: going to be the rest of the year. I don't
Speaker 1: think that that means that they're done for I think
Speaker 1: they could get into the super Bowl with some ugly football.
Speaker 1: But but to me, that was that was kind of
Speaker 1: one of the stories that even though they won this
Speaker 1: game in an in comfortable fashion, like you didn't leave
Speaker 1: it feeling much better about their offense and Russell Wilson, really,
Speaker 1: how much of that is is the Seahawks kind of
Speaker 1: being out of rhythm, out of balance on offense, and
Speaker 1: how much of that is that the Rams tend to
Speaker 1: drag Seattle down into the muck and myer time they played.
Speaker 1: I think that's a big part. I think the Rams
Speaker 1: are a huge part of it, you know. I I
Speaker 1: in the postgame pressure that they basically gave a lot
Speaker 1: of credit to the Rams for for making it a
Speaker 1: little ugly and they were they were psyched, that they
Speaker 1: were pumped. If that was one if there's one impression
Speaker 1: I got from talking to some of the players, I
Speaker 1: don't think winning five Street Division titles has grown old
Speaker 1: at all. It was a celebratory atmosphere. Pete Carroll was
Speaker 1: was jazz. He came over to Bobby Wagner at one
Speaker 1: point when I was talking to Bobby Wagner, and they
Speaker 1: had a really nice moment where you where you could
Speaker 1: tell this stuff really means a lot for them. And
Speaker 1: I think maybe that's Pete Carroll's kind of m o
Speaker 1: to enjoy the moment a little bit. And and and
Speaker 1: they were, and I think they were more focused that
Speaker 1: their defensive team, and they put together, you know, uh,
Speaker 1: defensive performance that we're used to seeing out of them.
Speaker 1: We need to talk about the flat out bizarre fourth quarter,
Speaker 1: starting with Michael ben taking center stage during the two
Speaker 1: play sequence. You want to go over that real quick. Yeah,
Speaker 1: that was that was insane. That was one of the
Speaker 1: best sacks I think of the season. Gets him shot
Speaker 1: out of a cannon, absolutely taking Jared goff lock off, uh,
Speaker 1: and then celebrating with with the three thrusts. And I
Speaker 1: don't know if you ever you probably haven't seen that
Speaker 1: key and peel sketch. Oh, I've seen it, but it's
Speaker 1: the third It's the third thrust that gets you penalized
Speaker 1: in every time. That's exactly what happened. And Pete Carroll
Speaker 1: after the game was kind of laughing, like he he
Speaker 1: didn't want to say anything, and he kind of thought
Speaker 1: that was the case too, like you can get away
Speaker 1: with one thrust, maybe two, but not three. Well then
Speaker 1: the next play, the very next play, he hip tossed
Speaker 1: tight end Tyler Higbee like a rag doll is how
Speaker 1: you put it, And that's exactly how it happened. And
Speaker 1: in the same sequence, a fraction of a second later,
Speaker 1: he turned around and sort of clothesline Todd Gurley and
Speaker 1: appeared to knock himself out as as he took Gurley down. Yeah,
Speaker 1: it was that was a massive collision. And that to me,
Speaker 1: these last two games, I know they got they got
Speaker 1: waxed last week, but Bennett had a good game and
Speaker 1: then this game he was awesome. And it's just a
Speaker 1: reminder to me of Errol Thomas is Key and all.
Speaker 1: But I really think Michael Bennett kind of v key. Um.
Speaker 1: I saw him after. I don't know what the concussion
Speaker 1: tests were. He seemed he seemed okay. You know, he
Speaker 1: was talking to some people. He didn't give a long,
Speaker 1: you know, spiel with the media. He didn't, But what's up?
Speaker 1: He didn't did I know he's not a favorite of bands,
Speaker 1: are really any of us for his actions after the
Speaker 1: Super Bowl off? But no, he didn't talk about anyone
Speaker 1: junk today. Immediately after the Bennett thing, it just got
Speaker 1: weirder and weirder. Jared Goff was sent for concussion test
Speaker 1: tests after Richard Sherman body rocked him at the end
Speaker 1: of a fifteen yards scramble right in front of the pylon.
Speaker 1: Then John Ryan, the Seahawks punter up to any one
Speaker 1: points with five minutes left in the game, takes off
Speaker 1: on a fake punt, runs about a four or five
Speaker 1: down the middle of the field, starts bobbling the ball
Speaker 1: at the end of the run, and he gets concussed. Yeah,
Speaker 1: that was That was an ugly sequence all around, including
Speaker 1: Carol getting caught kind of laughing on the silence. I
Speaker 1: don't know if he was laughing from the bobble or
Speaker 1: just the fact that Ryan took off. I don't know
Speaker 1: if there was a plan uh play or not. I
Speaker 1: missed that part of the Carol presscup. But yeah, it
Speaker 1: was ugly and for golf, Like, I think there's actually
Speaker 1: a real point here. That's that's two straight weeks where
Speaker 1: he has gotten absolutely clocked because he sort of hasn't
Speaker 1: learned how to protect himself or get out of bounds
Speaker 1: or get down and like you know, he who knows
Speaker 1: if he's gonna play next week. Like that, it's not
Speaker 1: a good thing for the Ramps and this offense for
Speaker 1: the Rams. I don't know how they can tell themselves
Speaker 1: with any sort of confidence that they can evaluate Jared
Speaker 1: Golf's progress when the offensive line is a turnstile, Todd
Speaker 1: Gurley is missing open creases at the line of scrimmage,
Speaker 1: Rookie Michael Thomas dropped a touchdown bomb, and then Golf
Speaker 1: himself missed a wide open Briant Quick in the end zone.
Speaker 1: The inaptitude on this offense, I just don't think. I
Speaker 1: think it's gonna have to wait till next year before
Speaker 1: you can really evaluate year Golf. Yeah, yeah, you you
Speaker 1: said it. I mean, it's the offensive coordinator, it's everything.
Speaker 1: I mean, it's the type of it's one of the
Speaker 1: worst offenses we've seen. I guess there's always like one
Speaker 1: each year. It reminds me a little bit of Alex
Speaker 1: Smith in his rookie year. They ended up changing coaches.
Speaker 1: He almost had to throw the whole thing out because
Speaker 1: it's so bad. But it was one where, you know,
Speaker 1: after the game, Frank Clark, you know, he was talking
Speaker 1: about basically they were looking their chops. They knew this
Speaker 1: was gonna be feeding season in this game. They knew
Speaker 1: he was a rookie quarterback. And I think they were
Speaker 1: all jacked up. They were all jacked up for it
Speaker 1: because they kind of knew they could get get after them. Well,
Speaker 1: let's get out of here by saying congratulations to the
Speaker 1: u NFC West champion Seattle Seahawks. And there's always next
Speaker 1: year for the Los Angeles Rams. Uh there is, and
Speaker 1: uh yeah, you know, way to go twelfth Man. As
Speaker 1: if you guys haven't had enough having enough fun, they
Speaker 1: had some fun tonight celebrating here. All right, Well, Greg,
Speaker 1: we'll see you when you get back in town. And
Speaker 1: let's turn it over to Dan. Do you Around the
Speaker 1: NFL Podcast is in a complicated relationship with the Vikings.
Speaker 1: Welcome back to another tradition of the Around the NFL Podcast.
Speaker 1: My name is Dan Hansas, and I am joined by
Speaker 1: room filled with heroes, Mark Sessler, Chris Westling, and Colleen Wolf. Hey, Dan,
Speaker 1: who is that weird? You didn't say it. What, oh,
Speaker 1: what's up? Boys and girls? Well, he looked at me
Speaker 1: and then I didn't know what to do. I pad it.
Speaker 1: I don't like silence, you know what. Colleen threw me
Speaker 1: off by saying her name, and then I forgot to
Speaker 1: finish the open. Yeah, you didn't ask a question, so
Speaker 1: I didn't answer with hey, Dan, Yeah, good start. That's
Speaker 1: how you start a show. I'm having out of this.
Speaker 1: I don't know. Uh. We yes, you heard at the
Speaker 1: top of the show. Greg Rosenthal from Seattle speaking with
Speaker 1: Chris Wesley on the Thursday night game, which, of course
Speaker 1: Greg means Greg is not here with us on the preview.
Speaker 1: NFL Networks it can't be Rosenthal, but Greg will be
Speaker 1: back for Sunday show. That was him walking into work
Speaker 1: this morning. He'll love that. And Uh, Connie Fox, thank
Speaker 1: you for pinch hitting Rosie sitting to my right, which
Speaker 1: just takes them getting used to. Uh. There are some
Speaker 1: things you don't even realize that you you needed in
Speaker 1: your life until they happen. One of them is watching
Speaker 1: uh Colleen do a karaoke duet with a complete stranger
Speaker 1: at a bar in West l A Uh singing, I
Speaker 1: believe the Middle by Jimmy Eat World. Yep, that's right.
Speaker 1: We went to a bar. This was right after our
Speaker 1: holiday party. I made some friends, I made some enemies.
Speaker 1: I think that it was a well rounded night. That
Speaker 1: is the right way to put it. I do have video,
Speaker 1: by the way, of this performance, and if if Connie
Speaker 1: Fox signs off on it, I would love to tweet
Speaker 1: it out. Sure, what about the gift? What about this
Speaker 1: other gentleman in it? Is it? Does he need to
Speaker 1: sign off? Or is it just he's going to be
Speaker 1: the stranger? We don't know. Can we blur him out? Hey,
Speaker 1: he was all dressed up. We might have to blur
Speaker 1: out this man's face if we send out the the
Speaker 1: tweet video of Colleen's karaoke performance, maybe just blur out
Speaker 1: everybody's faces. Uh, this is the Thursday night preview show.
Speaker 1: Of course, a lot of football to talk about today,
Speaker 1: and we're excited to have Colleen with us to do it.
Speaker 1: A lot of games to get to and I think
Speaker 1: it's the week fifteen preview, not the Thursday night preview. Okay,
Speaker 1: m hm. Nice branding, nice corporal brandings. I'm used to it,
Speaker 1: but now I've been brainwashed. After four years, Um, Mark,
Speaker 1: are you doing over that? I am doing fun. I
Speaker 1: have nothing more to add to that statement. You looked
Speaker 1: like you were wanting me to but I thought you
Speaker 1: had something to say. That's why I was throwing it
Speaker 1: over your way. Oh good, How are you feeling Dan
Speaker 1: with your button conundrum right now? I had an issue
Speaker 1: with the button the buttons by the lapel of a
Speaker 1: dress shirt. I've been wrestling with with over two decades
Speaker 1: now whether I should put the buttons in the little
Speaker 1: miniature buttons of the lapel. And we came down and
Speaker 1: not doing it before the show. Well, people actually can
Speaker 1: see whether or not that was a good choice because
Speaker 1: it's for our NFL network hit for the Pick Him Show.
Speaker 1: Absolutely what you can watch three separate times on Saturday,
Speaker 1: so make sure you check that. I wish I could
Speaker 1: tell you the times eight thirty in the morning, PM
Speaker 1: and one thirty in the morning. When you're all solved,
Speaker 1: you have been brainwashed. Sorry, Corpo robo probab, You're not where.
Speaker 1: You're a lanyard right now? All right, let's get to
Speaker 1: the game. Uh, let's get to the games. I'll start
Speaker 1: We like to go in order, so let's start with
Speaker 1: the Saturday night football matchup between the Miami Dolphins and
Speaker 1: my sad destitute New York Jets, a game that the
Speaker 1: Dolphins need. Let's face it, Uh, you just lost Ryan Tannehill.
Speaker 1: You may get him back by the end of the season,
Speaker 1: but that's the best case scenario. Right now, You're riding
Speaker 1: and dying with Matt Moore of all people, Mark Sessler,
Speaker 1: and you gotta take care of business against a bad
Speaker 1: Jets team at the Meadow Ends. They obsolutely do I
Speaker 1: you know, on that NFL Network show, I picked the
Speaker 1: Jets to win because I think something strange could just
Speaker 1: you know, occur in this game. You're essentially you're looking
Speaker 1: at a guy and Matt Moore that has not played
Speaker 1: in about half a decade, five five years. He hasn't
Speaker 1: taken a meaningful snap. That's long as time it is.
Speaker 1: And you know, he had a chance to potentially seek
Speaker 1: other jobs in the league too, maybe become a starter.
Speaker 1: There were options out there, and he chose not to.
Speaker 1: So I'll make three million dollars a year to do
Speaker 1: nothing and live in South Beach with my family. It's
Speaker 1: not a terrible overall decision in life. Maybe as a
Speaker 1: do you want him to be hungry as a football player.
Speaker 1: I don't know there's a name for that. Yes it is,
Speaker 1: you're right, go ahead, part guy. I just you know,
Speaker 1: watching the Dolphins last week and that game against the
Speaker 1: Cardinals occurred in this I think I don't think I've
Speaker 1: seen a game this year that was more disrupted by
Speaker 1: weather than the intense rainfall that caused all sorts of
Speaker 1: issues in that game, but one thing that was intact,
Speaker 1: and it happened a couple of times, and we've seen
Speaker 1: it almost every week with Ryan Tannehill. I don't think
Speaker 1: when you lose Ryan Tannehill, it's the same as losing
Speaker 1: other top starting quarterbacks. I don't know how much the
Speaker 1: offense falls off, but it does. In terms of his athleticism.
Speaker 1: There are two or three key first downs a game
Speaker 1: where he scampers for that. I don't know what you
Speaker 1: get with Matt More. I don't think the Dolphins know
Speaker 1: what you get with Matt More this week. He's definitely
Speaker 1: not as mobile as Tannehill. And then when you have
Speaker 1: Mike Pounty out along with Brandon Albert who's not really
Speaker 1: playing one, I don't think you have a guy in
Speaker 1: Matt Moore who we just said hasn't taken a meaningful
Speaker 1: snap in five years. And then Anthony Steen, who's going
Speaker 1: to be in for Mike Pouncy, who has just seven
Speaker 1: career starts. That's a terrible combination. This again is a
Speaker 1: golden opportunity for the Dolphins, and it's never Jets Dolphins.
Speaker 1: It's kind of a dormant rivalry, but the team's always
Speaker 1: play each other close no matter where they are. And
Speaker 1: right now the Dolphins are sitting at the number seven
Speaker 1: seed in the a f C. They lose the tiebreaker
Speaker 1: currently with the Broncos on strength of victory. However, while Jet,
Speaker 1: while the Dolphins get the four and nine Jets, the
Speaker 1: Broncos got to play the Pats. So there's a very
Speaker 1: good chance if everything goes to how what a lot
Speaker 1: of people predict, it will be the Dolphins in and
Speaker 1: the Broncos out going into Week sixteen, and wow, that
Speaker 1: would be crazy. Do you have a feel right now
Speaker 1: for whether the Jets will show up in a given
Speaker 1: week or not? I thought, you know what, it's a
Speaker 1: really good question. I thought it was very interesting to
Speaker 1: see them get destroyed in that Monday night game and
Speaker 1: then get embarrassed in the first quarter against the forty
Speaker 1: niners and then come back and not and not quit.
Speaker 1: I thought that was a really good sign. I think
Speaker 1: it might have saved todd balls job, to be honest.
Speaker 1: So I think you're right. I mean, I think this
Speaker 1: will be a close game potentially, but I do think
Speaker 1: that the Jets bright Petty will struggle. They are missing
Speaker 1: pieces on the offensive line. The left tackle Ryan Claydy's history,
Speaker 1: uh Nick Mangolds out for the year now they're shuffling
Speaker 1: deck chairs on the Titanic. I think that's bad news.
Speaker 1: With Petty, who's still a guys trying to learn how
Speaker 1: to make progressions, and a good Miami pass rush. Yeah.
Speaker 1: I thought the defensive line for Miami played really well
Speaker 1: last week against Arizona, and Arizona does not have a
Speaker 1: strong offensive line, but as you mentioned, the Jets are
Speaker 1: missing some key names up front. I don't think this
Speaker 1: is the offensive line they had earlier in the year,
Speaker 1: so so this will be definitely advantageous for Miami. I
Speaker 1: think also one last thing you know, with Jay g
Speaker 1: I you want to be able to run the ball
Speaker 1: and the Jets, which we've talked about all offseason and
Speaker 1: early this year, the run defense was as oversize, very solid.
Speaker 1: It's not been the case of late. You know, if
Speaker 1: you're Miami, you also have the Patriots in week seventeen,
Speaker 1: So you can't let the same slip away game Miami, UH,
Speaker 1: go against your worst tendency is in the last decade
Speaker 1: or so. Let's move on. UH. Talk about the Green
Speaker 1: Bay Packers now seven and six six uh playing very
Speaker 1: well traveling to Chicago to face the Bears. UM. Interesting story, UM,
Speaker 1: Chris Westling. James Starks is in the concussion protocol uh
Speaker 1: for the Packers after Stuffering being his involved in a
Speaker 1: car accident on Monday. So I don't know what's going
Speaker 1: on with James Starks. But with Aaron Rodgers playing the
Speaker 1: way he is, that might not be a big issue
Speaker 1: for them. Yeah. I hope James Starks is just fine
Speaker 1: and dandy healthwise. But this is a good thing for
Speaker 1: the Packers offense to have less James Starks on the field.
Speaker 1: He's averaging about two point three yards per carry this
Speaker 1: year and looks even slower than that when you watch
Speaker 1: him play. Uh, they should get time. Montgomery heavily involved.
Speaker 1: Kristen Michael still struggles sometimes on adjustments, for plays that
Speaker 1: are called at the line of scrimmage audibles. So I
Speaker 1: don't know if we're going to see a ton of
Speaker 1: him yet, but I kind of do. You guys see
Speaker 1: this as I hate the word trap game, It's the NFL,
Speaker 1: so expect the unexpected. You've got Jordan Howard rolling al
Speaker 1: Sean Jeffrey back this week from suspension. Matt Barkley's frisky
Speaker 1: and you wouldn't know it, but the Bears have the
Speaker 1: seventh ranked defense in total defense this season, and it's
Speaker 1: gonna be a freezing game. I think it's going to
Speaker 1: be in the single digits. Plus you have Aaron Rodgers
Speaker 1: with the calf injury, coming off a hamstring injury. We've
Speaker 1: saw him two years ago. His mobility was hurt from
Speaker 1: I think it was a calf that was um but
Speaker 1: he wasn't as mobile in that game, but he was
Speaker 1: still pretty effective. Plus he's got Jordy Nelson and Davante Adams,
Speaker 1: who are the most effective wide receiver wide receiver duo
Speaker 1: in the league right now. They have the most touchdowns
Speaker 1: and Mike McCarthy talked about time Montgomery receiver turn running
Speaker 1: back plane if they needed to up to twenty taking
Speaker 1: up the twenty areas. And I you know, but Starks
Speaker 1: didn't even really play a big role last week and
Speaker 1: he's he's been he's faded out of the picture. I
Speaker 1: I don't think I want to call this a trap
Speaker 1: game on Tuesday. We just put the Packers as a
Speaker 1: top three team that we trust to go right to
Speaker 1: the super Bowl. If they're gonna turn around and flop
Speaker 1: against the Bears, I think everything I said on Tuesday
Speaker 1: feels like a total math. Here's the one thing. I'm
Speaker 1: with you on that, Mark. But the weather, that's that's
Speaker 1: a subplot to track across the league this weekend. Uh
Speaker 1: in the road, I mean's it is a Arctic front, bro,
Speaker 1: I mean that's just bad for humans. I don't know
Speaker 1: what that doesn't mean. You know, it's gonna be thirty
Speaker 1: seven and with some wind. It is supposed to be
Speaker 1: in some of these cities single single digits. It's the
Speaker 1: great equalizer and it is. Yeah, that's what they say
Speaker 1: about weather, and I think it could rereak havoc on
Speaker 1: some of these games. And I don't have to worry
Speaker 1: about this because I didn't make my fantasy playoffs, but
Speaker 1: all you people that have a stacked, loaded fantasy team
Speaker 1: and you're confident about this weekend, be careful of the weather.
Speaker 1: You could get banged. You could it. There is so
Speaker 1: hard to predict in fantasy though. I remember there was
Speaker 1: a game Patriots Cardinals in New England out. Yeah, everybody
Speaker 1: was sitting Tom Brady or something. He went off for
Speaker 1: like four hundred yards and four td s in the snow.
Speaker 1: But these are two teams that are used to it.
Speaker 1: You think Green Bay. But you get to a point
Speaker 1: where if the temperature is so low, no human is
Speaker 1: needs needs to be dealing with that. I have one
Speaker 1: solution for all these fantasy playoffs getting blown up in
Speaker 1: in late December. Well, no, honestly, to the corner. Let's
Speaker 1: take it out to the corner. If you want to
Speaker 1: walk right out this door A right here he goes,
Speaker 1: still walking through the door. It's a long hallway to
Speaker 1: that corner. It's actually almost the coldest second the door. Yeah,
Speaker 1: turning the handle on the doorway, there's old Mr Jenkinson.
Speaker 1: The doors locked. I think it's you know, I want
Speaker 1: to open it. When I feel like opening it, I will,
Speaker 1: do you have the right key here? I am, here's
Speaker 1: my solution. Look at us. We didn't know Tom Brady
Speaker 1: was going to be in a cold weather game, and
Speaker 1: we scored fifty point. Have the playoffs begin after a
Speaker 1: curt a sensibly curtailed seven week fantasy season, and you
Speaker 1: get teams in the middle of the year on play
Speaker 1: not as many players are injured. Fantasy playoffs run through
Speaker 1: week ten and we close shop. I would be in
Speaker 1: that league with you. I wouldn't even be in that league,
Speaker 1: but I think it would be better for you know
Speaker 1: every in retrospect a minor miracle. I got marked to
Speaker 1: be co manager of our fantasy team for like four straight,
Speaker 1: five straight years before you finally said I won't do
Speaker 1: it anymore. Well, I mean I don't think I did
Speaker 1: a shred. I didn't conduct a shred of business. After
Speaker 1: a year one or two of that, I thought you
Speaker 1: held back the enterprise a little bit. It's possible, all right,
Speaker 1: let's step off the corner and move on. And that's
Speaker 1: the other thing. Much shorter trip back indoor. If it's
Speaker 1: five degrees out for this game, I'm nervous about Aaron
Speaker 1: Rodgers's calf. Let's keep an eye on that. How he's
Speaker 1: moving in this game. Moving on to oh, we're knocking
Speaker 1: out all the great games here the Cleveland Browns oh
Speaker 1: and thirteen traveling to Buffalo to face the Bills. Mark Sessler, Uh,
Speaker 1: it was on. I believe Tuesday was the one year
Speaker 1: anniversary of Cleveland's last victory, which, believe or not, Johnny
Speaker 1: Menzel was the quarterback. I feel like Johnny Manzele was
Speaker 1: out of the picture of three years ago, but he
Speaker 1: was actually the quarterback in December of last year. Uh
Speaker 1: So you've long said for several weeks now that uh
Speaker 1: they will get a win, will be this week in
Speaker 1: Orchard Park. No, it will not. Um. I think this
Speaker 1: is if you look at the matchup. Every matchup is
Speaker 1: bad for Cleveland, but this specifically Looms, I think is
Speaker 1: a rough one. They can't stop the run, and you've
Speaker 1: got the Bills who they're going to want to get
Speaker 1: back on the ground and be able to destroy you.
Speaker 1: I also, I completely one of these people that are
Speaker 1: against this whole Let's start r G three down the
Speaker 1: final three weeks to the season. I'll tell you right
Speaker 1: now why. Because you want to see a young guy
Speaker 1: like Corey Coleman had the best chance to close the
Speaker 1: year with some progress after a lot of injuries. Watching
Speaker 1: what they'd suffering through that Brown's Bengals game, after they
Speaker 1: did get a little better in the second half, I
Speaker 1: thought Cleveland specifically with RG three over the last over
Speaker 1: his two starts, he has targeted Terrell Prior and Corey
Speaker 1: Coleman twenty six times with nine completions. He there is
Speaker 1: no middle of the field passing game with RG three
Speaker 1: because all he does is, you know, satellite out to
Speaker 1: the sideline, get out of the pocket, and then you know,
Speaker 1: just before running out of bounds with an eight yard loss,
Speaker 1: look down field and just throw it somewhere. And it's
Speaker 1: it's sloppy quarterback play from r G three. I'm not
Speaker 1: impressed with what they did. I honestly don't think you
Speaker 1: start them. The Bills are the Bills. I look at
Speaker 1: their their season is essentially over, but they are They
Speaker 1: still I think have enough pride to say we are
Speaker 1: not gonna get touched at home by this team. They're
Speaker 1: gonna take care of business. Well, it stakes to see
Speaker 1: Terrell Prior not being used the way that we've seen
Speaker 1: him being used, especially if you are in your fantasy
Speaker 1: playoffs and you do have him, But the fact that
Speaker 1: he was seeing yelling at RG three on the sideline.
Speaker 1: RG three had no rhythm whatsoever this game, any game,
Speaker 1: and the weather just exacerbated it. The Browns have so
Speaker 1: much work to do, and I think we're all in
Speaker 1: the r G three is not part of the solution
Speaker 1: there in the short term. The long term. Neither is
Speaker 1: Josh McCown for that matter. Uh And if Cody Kestler
Speaker 1: is not healthy or what, I don't know, but it
Speaker 1: just seems like a waste of time. Isn't there some
Speaker 1: kind of like bumper sticker manufacturer that needs a slogan
Speaker 1: hear like r G three give up football and just
Speaker 1: go make bumper stickers. Do you think he'll be on
Speaker 1: the team next year, Mark, I do not, But I
Speaker 1: that that's me projecting what I want. I they've they've
Speaker 1: gone against my expectations with r G three from I
Speaker 1: never thought he was a good addition when a fair
Speaker 1: amount of money. Dude, it's not crazy for a team
Speaker 1: that needs to spend millions to get to the you know,
Speaker 1: the cast floor. Will Tyrod Taylor be on the team
Speaker 1: next year the Bills, It's a very good question. I
Speaker 1: think I thought it was Okay, I better go ahead
Speaker 1: answer it. West. I thought he was safe until Rex
Speaker 1: Ryan waffled on whether he's even starting in week fifteen.
Speaker 1: And if you don't even know until you look at
Speaker 1: the game film, where you whether you want to keep
Speaker 1: this guy's your starter? Are you really going to pick
Speaker 1: up a twenty seven point five million dollar option on him?
Speaker 1: And you have to wonder if a if Rex Ryan
Speaker 1: will be there next year or if Rex Ryan's bizarre
Speaker 1: public almost shaming of Tyrod Taylor where it's like, I'm
Speaker 1: not I refused to call this guy an actual starter
Speaker 1: for us going forward. That's probably not playing well with
Speaker 1: some of the people around him. The possible something's cooking
Speaker 1: behind the scenes with Tyrod Taylor too. This seems I
Speaker 1: don't know that the tide has turned against him in
Speaker 1: a very strong way. I feel like Doug Whalley is
Speaker 1: never sold on Tyrod Taylor or really any quarterback that
Speaker 1: they have there. I agree and Doug Whalley. I remember
Speaker 1: when Tyrod Taylor had the m c L spring last
Speaker 1: year and Ian Rappaport came out with a report saying
Speaker 1: that E. J. Manual has a chance to keep the job.
Speaker 1: That floored me. At the time. But it also told
Speaker 1: me that somebody in this front office, somebody important likes EJ.
Speaker 1: Manual more than Tyrod. It could be the person that
Speaker 1: drafted him and somehow retained his job after making that
Speaker 1: draft pick. I think card L. Jones could be making
Speaker 1: starts by the end of the season. That would be
Speaker 1: my prediction. I think so okay, I think they want
Speaker 1: to get a look at him. So actually, if they
Speaker 1: somehow lost of the Browns forget it, I think Tyrod
Speaker 1: Tiller might make his last start as their offensive coordinar.
Speaker 1: Anthony Lynne just said recently that Cardale Jones is the
Speaker 1: kind of guy you want waiting on the runway. What
Speaker 1: does that? What does that mean? He's ready to developed
Speaker 1: mental slot at quarterback, ready to go when you realize
Speaker 1: that your first two guys in a depth chart aren't
Speaker 1: good enough. I thought it was like a romantic comedy.
Speaker 1: It seemed romantic, like a homecoming of sorts. It's like
Speaker 1: the ending of Casablanca. It's like when Ross comes back
Speaker 1: from China. Casablanca has always mentioned on this show Casablanca
Speaker 1: friends very you know, the references are very up to date,
Speaker 1: one of which is quality. Yes, you're right, friends a
Speaker 1: swimmer Anniston, Uh love saga for the hemispheres. Swimmer is
Speaker 1: not palatable. Let's move on. The Philadelphia Eagles are not
Speaker 1: palatable right now. Five and eight. Uh. They traveled now
Speaker 1: to Baltimore. Another tough spot if you're your team that's
Speaker 1: basically playing out the string now like the Eagles, and
Speaker 1: you have to go on the road, Connie, to face
Speaker 1: a team that's desperate for a win that the Ravens aren't.
Speaker 1: Seven and six, it's probably not a good sign. Probably
Speaker 1: not good at all. No, the Eagles, they've lost eight
Speaker 1: of their last ten. They actually only have one road
Speaker 1: win this season, and that I think I believe that
Speaker 1: was their first road game that they played all year.
Speaker 1: You have just the Ravens defense. They struggled last week
Speaker 1: against the Patriots, and really did so after Jimmy Smith
Speaker 1: went out. That's when Tom Brady really just let loose
Speaker 1: and started lighting it up. But I wouldn't be terribly
Speaker 1: worried if Jimmy Smith wasn't able to go in this
Speaker 1: game because the Eagles wide receivers aren't exactly frightening, and
Speaker 1: Joe Flacco his last six games, he's completing sevent his
Speaker 1: passes and he has twelve touchdowns to six interceptions. That's
Speaker 1: in stark contrast to the way that he started the season. Well,
Speaker 1: let me ask you a question, what did you see?
Speaker 1: I thought Flacco played a kind of interesting game on
Speaker 1: Monday nights. Sometimes he looked like a guy who would
Speaker 1: love to have my team. Other times he frustrated with
Speaker 1: some of the check downs. What did you think of
Speaker 1: his performance against the Patriots? Though he was terrible, there's
Speaker 1: a lot of dink and dunk. Yeah, I thought he's
Speaker 1: the only reason they scored two touchdowns was because the
Speaker 1: Patriots gave them the ball on the doorstep of the
Speaker 1: end zone on both of them. I think Joe Flacco's
Speaker 1: ball placement has to be a lot better than it
Speaker 1: was last week. That game, let's call it was, it wasn't.
Speaker 1: It was a blowout disguised if you didn't watch the game.
Speaker 1: Is something closer and it was? It never was. And
Speaker 1: that doesn't mean though that this week that Baltimore's defense,
Speaker 1: which is I think a unit that's for real, will
Speaker 1: come back and turn it up against the team with
Speaker 1: you know, at this point, I think the Eagles need
Speaker 1: to go into the off season. You've made some progress
Speaker 1: with Carson Wentz. You're really shorthanded in terms of your
Speaker 1: weapons and what you can ask him to do. You've
Speaker 1: got to reset the machine. And the Ravens have so
Speaker 1: much more to play for. They've got so much more
Speaker 1: this Their season is on the line there at home.
Speaker 1: You can't drop this. This doesn't probably affect the guys
Speaker 1: in the locker room, but from an eagle's perspective, if
Speaker 1: you're a fan saying, oh, actually, it's be fine if
Speaker 1: they lose out, it helps our pick that goes to
Speaker 1: the Brown it's us, which is at this point it
Speaker 1: looked like it was gonna be They're gonna make the playoffs.
Speaker 1: This is a disaster. It's it's surging towards the top ten.
Speaker 1: Now it's either eleven or twelve. So that's what the
Speaker 1: draft in Philadelphia to really wow. Interesting, Well, I can't
Speaker 1: please you put these events in forty eight different cities.
Speaker 1: You can't please everyone. John Harbor, by the way, who
Speaker 1: is really one of the most underrated coaches in football,
Speaker 1: Rookie quarterbacks against UH, the Ravens of the John Harbor era,
Speaker 1: oh and seven UH completion percentage of fifty two, three touchdowns,
Speaker 1: nine interceptions. Carson Wentz could have a tough time. He
Speaker 1: was much better last week, especially especially in the first
Speaker 1: half when he was buttressed by a running game. Look
Speaker 1: at you, ch I like say boot trust personally. I
Speaker 1: like the architectural feature, the flying buttress. Yes, see that
Speaker 1: a lot in churches. Yes, of course, Darren Spoils though concussion.
Speaker 1: Wendell Smallwood out for the season. It's Ryan Matthews and
Speaker 1: not much behind him. And last week he had a
Speaker 1: running game in the first half, and I think that's
Speaker 1: helped Carson Wentz when he's played well this year, it's
Speaker 1: been mixing in the run. I don't know if you're
Speaker 1: gonna have that against Baltimore. Also helping Carson Wentz this week,
Speaker 1: Brandon Brooks should start this game. He's been suffering from
Speaker 1: an anxiety disorder where it causes him to get really
Speaker 1: sick before games and like just vomit before games. So
Speaker 1: he had to be hospitalized for dehydration, but he said
Speaker 1: they're taking care of it and hopefully he'll be able
Speaker 1: to go this week, which would really help with pass production. Well,
Speaker 1: let's move on and talk about Oh, this is a
Speaker 1: very good game in the a f C. H the
Speaker 1: Tennessee Titans seven and six, frisky, Uh, we'll win over
Speaker 1: Denver last week and need another one to keep up uh.
Speaker 1: Their surge in the a f C South, traveling to
Speaker 1: Kansas City to face the Chiefs, who are now ten
Speaker 1: and three. Big win over the Raiders on Thursday Night
Speaker 1: Football last week, Mark, you said this is your favorite
Speaker 1: game in the week. I think it is. Why I
Speaker 1: think it that you know that it's the assumption is, oh, Broncos,
Speaker 1: you know, Patriots automatically the number one game. I don't
Speaker 1: think so. I think this is really compelling. Uh. I
Speaker 1: cannot wait to see how the Titans, who went out
Speaker 1: last week and absolutely I thought, handled the Broncos with
Speaker 1: their ground game. And you know the problem when it
Speaker 1: comes to the Titans, for me, if they could play
Speaker 1: the entire game the way they seem to open some
Speaker 1: of these games their first one or two quarters, I
Speaker 1: think they could beat the Patriots or any team in
Speaker 1: the league on certain Sundays. They don't seem to do
Speaker 1: that often. And so you gotta go into Kansas City,
Speaker 1: where we're hearing that the temperature will be ridiculously low,
Speaker 1: and you're not a cold weather team and We're not
Speaker 1: even sure that you're really a team that understands what
Speaker 1: a true playoff races. But you know what, Mariota, I
Speaker 1: think gives you a chance in any one of these games.
Speaker 1: I like the Titans in this game. They're not a
Speaker 1: cold weather team because they don't play in cold weather
Speaker 1: very often, but they're set up to play that style
Speaker 1: with just take the exotic out and go pure smash mouth. Yeah.
Speaker 1: And Marcus Mariota. Since Week five I saw this, he
Speaker 1: has the second best passer rating in the league. Is
Speaker 1: twenty three total touchdowns in that span, twenty one passing,
Speaker 1: two rushing, plus When you have Dereck Johnson out for
Speaker 1: the Kansas City Chiefs, I mean to Marco Murray and
Speaker 1: Derrick Henry can go wild on them. They're gonna plug
Speaker 1: somebody in there that can. I just said, like last week,
Speaker 1: I just I, Hey, the Raiders are gonna waltz right
Speaker 1: into Kansas City and take care of business. And I
Speaker 1: Chiefs fans, understandably, I think are a little sensitive. I
Speaker 1: think they feel like the team that, no matter what
Speaker 1: they do, is utterly disrespected and typically picked against week
Speaker 1: after week. In some of these games, like they've won
Speaker 1: over this room's trust. I don't know what their ceiling is,
Speaker 1: but you know you can't look at Kansas City and
Speaker 1: say that they don't have a chance to go to
Speaker 1: the a f C Championship. At this point, are you
Speaker 1: picking the Titans in this game? I picked the Chiefs
Speaker 1: for the NFL Network segment. I usually like to parse
Speaker 1: and split breaks so that I cannot get it wrong somewhere.
Speaker 1: But I'm gonna stick with the Chiefs because why repeat
Speaker 1: the mistake I just announced. I'm on picking against the
Speaker 1: Chiefs until they play the Patriots or Steelers. I think
Speaker 1: they're gonna keep it closed, but I think the Chiefs.
Speaker 1: The Chiefs have so many weapons right now. Travis Kelsey,
Speaker 1: he's outstanding. Tyreek Hill has been playing amazing, and then
Speaker 1: that defense, the pass rush so good. I mean, it's
Speaker 1: it's a cute little thing that the Titans have been
Speaker 1: better in the last couple of months. That's nice. That's all,
Speaker 1: but enough of this. It's home now You're going to
Speaker 1: play a big boy on the road in cold temperatures, Tyson.
Speaker 1: Not only the Chiefs gonna win this game and move
Speaker 1: to an eleven and three mark and still being the
Speaker 1: hunt for the number one sees seed. I'm gonna can
Speaker 1: know it. I'm gonna look it up. This is an outrage.
Speaker 1: I can't believe you called him a cute team. Everybody
Speaker 1: keeps moving the bar on the Titans. Oh, you beat
Speaker 1: the Packers, but they had a bad defense. Oh, the
Speaker 1: Broncos are the team that's really gonna be the litmus test. Oh,
Speaker 1: you beat them, but you're still a cute little operations.
Speaker 1: Oh that's like the most disrespectful thing you could say. This.
Speaker 1: This is the a litmus test for me, And then
Speaker 1: next week it will be different. The times are being
Speaker 1: built so that two years from now they'll be the
Speaker 1: kind of team that makes the a f C championship,
Speaker 1: like four out of six years. We'll see about that
Speaker 1: when you know what, when the Titans are a f
Speaker 1: C superpower, after they get the Rams first round pick
Speaker 1: next year and their own and their GM so good,
Speaker 1: Dan's gonna be wanting to climb on the bandwagon and
Speaker 1: everyone's gonna be kicking him off though. You know, I'll
Speaker 1: believe when I see it, Okay, maybe gonna see it.
Speaker 1: That's not gonna be allowed. On here we go. I
Speaker 1: don't want to be on your stupid bandwagon. Okay, it's cute,
Speaker 1: cute little team, but let's see what happens against the
Speaker 1: real football team this week. That's what I said. I
Speaker 1: stand by it. That's why I locked it up, staying
Speaker 1: in the vault. Moving on, the Pittsburgh Steelers travel Uh
Speaker 1: to Cincinnati the face the Ben goals Mark Sessler. Uh.
Speaker 1: The Steelers one of the hottest teams in football right now. Uh.
Speaker 1: Cincinnati not going back to the playoffs, but still this
Speaker 1: feels like a dangerous matchup to me, do you agree? Well?
Speaker 1: I think the number one. No matter what's happening with
Speaker 1: these teams, any of these a f C North games,
Speaker 1: These coaches have been around for so long, they know
Speaker 1: each other so well. There aren't that many new pieces
Speaker 1: here where you're gonna catch a one by surprise. So
Speaker 1: it's dangerous from that angle. But to me, that angle alone,
Speaker 1: I I've heard people talk about the Bengals as a
Speaker 1: we just talked about for the Bears and Packers, a
Speaker 1: trap game for for Pittsburgh. I don't see that because
Speaker 1: watching the Browns Bengals game, the Bengals have a couple
Speaker 1: of big flaws. They the Cleveland at its best pass
Speaker 1: rushing effort in the entire year. It looks like a
Speaker 1: completely different defense in the second half because of Cincinnati's
Speaker 1: offensive line. And on the flip side, Cleveland has not
Speaker 1: been able to run the ball in months. Gashed Cincinnati's defense.
Speaker 1: And so now you're gonna go deal with Levy on Bell.
Speaker 1: You're gonna get Big Ben, You're gonna get Antonio Brown.
Speaker 1: And we're looking at a player in Antonia and Levan
Speaker 1: Bell who is playing at the absolute peak of his powers.
Speaker 1: So I do not think the Bengals will will have
Speaker 1: said that this could ever be not with you necessarily,
Speaker 1: but that Bengals, even in a bad Cincinnati season, this
Speaker 1: rivalry has been very good the last several years. I
Speaker 1: don't think the steel has will overlooked this team. Uh West,
Speaker 1: But what about a J Green being back in the mix.
Speaker 1: That the Cincinnati team is getting right here and this
Speaker 1: may be their super Bowl? Basically, what else do they
Speaker 1: have to play for at this point? Limited practices the
Speaker 1: past two days. It's a hamstring, so you never know
Speaker 1: if there will be a setback late in the week
Speaker 1: or not. But I want to see him get through
Speaker 1: a full game before I say the Steelers should be
Speaker 1: scared to death of a J. Green and frankly, Ross
Speaker 1: Cockerell has handled opposing number one receivers pretty well. Their
Speaker 1: secondary isn't one that you pick on anymore. Not to
Speaker 1: mention for the Bengals, they have Vantes perfect for this
Speaker 1: game against the Steelers, which is the first time that
Speaker 1: he's facing the Steelers since last year's playoff game that
Speaker 1: really ended in a crazy, crazy fashion, which means he'll
Speaker 1: have a penalty for fifteen yards that will absolutely doom Cincinnati.
Speaker 1: And again that's what I kind of mean though that's said,
Speaker 1: that was one of the worst playoff losses any team
Speaker 1: will ever have that Cincinnati lost, and this season has
Speaker 1: not gone well for them. Made they get a chance
Speaker 1: to mess up the Steelers season. I think this will
Speaker 1: be a hyper motivated Cincinnati team. It's all. Do you
Speaker 1: want to know how much I disagree with what I
Speaker 1: did this last week with the Steelers on the road,
Speaker 1: and you cannot disagree more When you lock it up,
Speaker 1: that is the ultimate. On the other side, I like it.
Speaker 1: Any other thoughts of this game Ben Roethlisberger last week,
Speaker 1: I don't, I mean, he had I'm thinking about it
Speaker 1: in terms of fantasy, and I know that's not the
Speaker 1: best thing, but what is up with him on the road?
Speaker 1: He has zero touchdowns and six interceptions, and his last
Speaker 1: four road starts that just so happened to be a
Speaker 1: last week I think you got killed by it looked
Speaker 1: like he was going to throw for four yards the
Speaker 1: way they came out, and then they flipped their strategy
Speaker 1: in a in a snowstorm midway through the game and
Speaker 1: just went with Bell. Yeah, and why not keep doing
Speaker 1: that until it doesn't work? You know what I'm really
Speaker 1: frustrated about now what I should have If I didn't
Speaker 1: lock up the last game, I would have locked on
Speaker 1: the other side and we could have had a lock off.
Speaker 1: I mean, you couldn't want to do a double always
Speaker 1: change your Okay, you know this is the I'm repealing
Speaker 1: my previous lock and I'm gonna yeah, that's a lock
Speaker 1: on lock baby. I mean, you want to talk about
Speaker 1: an ill fated quote in our history. I'm gonna lock
Speaker 1: up the Bengals. Let's see how that goes for you
Speaker 1: over the course of humans. It's not January. You have
Speaker 1: one thing on your side, Dan Well, last year, Vante
Speaker 1: is perfect knocked Ben Roethlisberger, Antonio Brown, and Levi on
Speaker 1: Bell out of three separate games. He can just take
Speaker 1: all three of them out in this game because he's
Speaker 1: got nothing to play for. That's what I was thinking.
Speaker 1: That's why I've chosen to do this. I actually I
Speaker 1: don't feel good about this, but I feel fans funstick
Speaker 1: about it. It sounded like you feel pretty good about it,
Speaker 1: so that's weird. That's fun. I think I think it
Speaker 1: will be a game. I didn't you know, but now
Speaker 1: I locked it up and I'm in a little too deep.
Speaker 1: But it's for the podcast. I'll do anything for this show.
Speaker 1: I don't really care about you repealing your lock, but
Speaker 1: you ought to take back that little cute comment. I know,
Speaker 1: I like the back of one. That's good. Let's move
Speaker 1: on here. Um, I take it back, West, if only
Speaker 1: because I don't want any bad vibes between you and I.
Speaker 1: Because there was somebody at the at the bar at
Speaker 1: the after party that really, you know, a real human
Speaker 1: gutter ball. Colleen say who it is, but I had
Speaker 1: to say, hey, West, just let's keep our eyes in
Speaker 1: the situation. In case you go back, you might have
Speaker 1: to go outside and dance, yea thank you for that.
Speaker 1: I might have to go do the tango outside. And
Speaker 1: you know I'm a grumpy old man. I like to
Speaker 1: play the heavy, got real, got real in. There no
Speaker 1: better way to end a holiday party than in any
Speaker 1: fight with what I presume would be another employee of
Speaker 1: the company. And it's a great way to put a
Speaker 1: cap on that evening. It's a good thing. No one
Speaker 1: from HR or any high level executive position listen to
Speaker 1: the show. I gotta give props to Sydney. I was
Speaker 1: home by nine thirty that night, got a ride home
Speaker 1: in New Money's new are new car? How about you?
Speaker 1: Did you get your checking account all figured out? Oh?
Speaker 1: Yeah good? Your car ended up getting totaled. New Money did,
Speaker 1: and so now you drive what I would Maybach a
Speaker 1: jag No, just just like Annale. It's fine. What are
Speaker 1: you driving? When he got she has three of them?
Speaker 1: But this was the what was my Tuesday car? Just
Speaker 1: change your name to not enough New Money. Let's take
Speaker 1: a quick second here are you always got to give
Speaker 1: the shout out to the man, the myth, the legend,
Speaker 1: Mr Flame and his economics class in the Hague the Netherlands,
Speaker 1: the great sponsor of the around the NFL podcast and
Speaker 1: all your economics needs will be met if you enroll
Speaker 1: in his class in the Hague the Netherlands. Let's move
Speaker 1: on now, I'll check out the Detroit Lions. Oh, this
Speaker 1: is a good one. Like this matchup the Detroit Lions
Speaker 1: on the road heading to the meadow Lands to face
Speaker 1: out off against the New York Giant. It's a battle,
Speaker 1: a battle to nine and four teams. Chris Westling and um.
Speaker 1: You know, if you listen to this podcast, you know
Speaker 1: that Chris Wesley is not a believer in the Giants.
Speaker 1: But then he rewatched that Sunday night game tape and
Speaker 1: he saw the heart and the grit on display by
Speaker 1: the Giants playmaking ability of Odell Beckham and Eli Manning struggling.
Speaker 1: But at the same time, you see his eyes and
Speaker 1: you say, there's still beauty and greatness behind those eyes,
Speaker 1: and you're feeling good about the Giants. Now, aren't you
Speaker 1: let me repeal everything you just said? I thought you
Speaker 1: would say if you listened to this podcast, you know
Speaker 1: that the numbers don't support none of the numbers support
Speaker 1: either of these teams being nine and four. That well,
Speaker 1: that's fair, That's what you would know from listening to
Speaker 1: this podcast, we've been doubting both of them all year.
Speaker 1: They're fine, they're and they're nine and four. Let's see
Speaker 1: how far they go the rest of the year. These
Speaker 1: two teams games decided by a touchdow in the last
Speaker 1: Detroit twelve out of thirteen games, the Giants ten out
Speaker 1: of thirteen games. This one seems like it's coming down
Speaker 1: to the to the bell and expect a low scoring game.
Speaker 1: Since Week seven, the top two scoring defenses the in
Speaker 1: NFL or the Giants at sixteen point one and the
Speaker 1: Lions at sixteen point four. It's funny that we're a
Speaker 1: couple of months removed from every week on the show
Speaker 1: saying whatever quarterback it was that was going up against
Speaker 1: the Detroit Lions, well, you're going to have your career,
Speaker 1: you know, best day of the season today because Detroit
Speaker 1: can't do anything to stop you, and it's completely opposite
Speaker 1: at this point that their defense is legit. You have
Speaker 1: to say, are are you at least impressed with New
Speaker 1: York's defense? I am. The The Giants secondary absolutely man
Speaker 1: handled the Cowboys wide receivers from a physicality point of
Speaker 1: view and took him out of the game. You know
Speaker 1: who's a star on Sunday Night. I was gonna say
Speaker 1: Generis Jenkins, but no, he wants everyone to know everyone
Speaker 1: but his own mother calls him jack Rabbit Jenkins. Jack
Speaker 1: Rabbit Jenkins. It's pretty good. Actually, yeah, Dez could not
Speaker 1: get anything done. He really used way. But by the way,
Speaker 1: does I to say you like to look at the
Speaker 1: schedule the Lions nine and four. Everything's fine and dandy,
Speaker 1: but be careful here because if you don't win on
Speaker 1: the road in New York follow to nine and five,
Speaker 1: then you go and play a primetime game against the
Speaker 1: Cowboys in Dallas. Oh could be nine and six, and
Speaker 1: then you finish at home against the Packers, who are
Speaker 1: playing as good as anyone in the NFC, oh, nine
Speaker 1: and seven. If everything turns poorly, and that's not the
Speaker 1: biggest stretch, it's not, I mean. And also you have
Speaker 1: to you know the idea that all this stuff in
Speaker 1: the last couple of minutes has been going pro Detroit,
Speaker 1: that at some point it's going to come home to roost,
Speaker 1: and if not in January, much sooner. Maybe we talked
Speaker 1: about the Packers winning this division on Tuesday, and you
Speaker 1: just laid out the road map for that. Yeah. I've
Speaker 1: been really impressed though with the Lions defense just since
Speaker 1: Week eight. When you look at their numbers what they've
Speaker 1: been able to do. They're tied for the NFL's best
Speaker 1: scoring defense. They've only allowed nine touchdowns and they've allowed
Speaker 1: twenty or points or fewer nine times this entire season.
Speaker 1: They tackle well, and they get their hands on a
Speaker 1: lot of balls. They can hasked a lot of passes.
Speaker 1: Their secondary is pretty good now. And I don't you know,
Speaker 1: I don't want Lions fans to come after me on Twitter,
Speaker 1: and I know they've won five in a row. Not
Speaker 1: if you're nine and four. You're nine and four. Bill
Speaker 1: Parcel said, you are what your record says you are.
Speaker 1: So they'll probably find a way to win one of
Speaker 1: these games. But I don't know if I would say
Speaker 1: that I would pick them in any of these games.
Speaker 1: So it's it's a tough close for them. So to
Speaker 1: keep it on, we wanted to see this Lion's defense
Speaker 1: face a real test. They're not gonna face a real test.
Speaker 1: Giants offense is among the worst in the NFL, including
Speaker 1: the teams that have given up for the season, and
Speaker 1: watch after Matthew Stafford here, what is going on with
Speaker 1: that finger? And I think that's a huge again in
Speaker 1: New York, it's gonna be I believe I'm looking right now.
Speaker 1: Weather report marks, Well, it's this is a ten day
Speaker 1: forecast from weather day dot com. But in East Rutifford,
Speaker 1: New Jersey, on Sunday it says high of fifty nine,
Speaker 1: low of twenty three of rain. Rain. So the temperature
Speaker 1: it's not gonna be that cold. Well, we don't know.
Speaker 1: I mean that, you know as I let me tell you,
Speaker 1: it's forecast can shift in things can change at a
Speaker 1: ten day forecast. When it's only fortune, well, it's you know,
Speaker 1: it's stretches. I can tell you the Sunday after it's
Speaker 1: supposed to be you had a dislocated middle finger on
Speaker 1: your throwing hand. Do you think that weather is something
Speaker 1: you want? But not at all. I think that is
Speaker 1: a recipe for some trouble. All right, let's um, I
Speaker 1: wouldn't want to get out of bed. Let's move on
Speaker 1: and talk about our next game. The Indianapolis Colts six
Speaker 1: and seven need to win out uh most likely, although
Speaker 1: you never know in that a f C South, but
Speaker 1: they need to get this win, they travel to Minnesota
Speaker 1: to face the Vikings. Yes, I guess they're the team
Speaker 1: of a t l uh and there's no Greg here
Speaker 1: to defend them. Um contie Fox as Minnesota gonna be
Speaker 1: able to finish this season with a level of dignity
Speaker 1: befitting of the team of the around the NFL. The
Speaker 1: team they're making me really depressed lately in the red zone.
Speaker 1: That's just one of the reasons why they're making me depressed.
Speaker 1: A very very distinct area of depression is but three
Speaker 1: separate times on Sunday they tried to score from the
Speaker 1: one yard line. They only got in there once, and
Speaker 1: then of their five trips in the red zone, only
Speaker 1: twice they converted. When you can't convert on these short
Speaker 1: yard situations and you have Matt Asciata and you're trying
Speaker 1: desperately to get one yard to score and you can't,
Speaker 1: that is such a nightmare. Plus Sam Bradford, he's averaging,
Speaker 1: as we've talked about on the show before, six point
Speaker 1: four yards per attempt. You're running game is only averaging
Speaker 1: three yards per carry. The offense has set up Sam
Speaker 1: Bradford sort of de fail and I kind of feel
Speaker 1: bad for Pat Shermer that short yardage offense has been
Speaker 1: an issue all year long. On the other hand, who
Speaker 1: would you most want to play if you have trouble
Speaker 1: moving the ball in short yardage situations? A colts team
Speaker 1: that has lacked a backbone for the entire Andrew luck
Speaker 1: Earra on defense. Yeah, and it's it's this to me.
Speaker 1: I think this is one of the games where you
Speaker 1: look at where it is in Minnesota. I think the
Speaker 1: Vikings are distinctly better at home. And I think if
Speaker 1: Greg we're here, he would say, you have to look
Speaker 1: at the offense last week played one of its better games.
Speaker 1: I don't know what that means in the big scope
Speaker 1: of the NFL. It's not one of the NFL's better games.
Speaker 1: But guys like Adam Feeling Stefon digs still around. I mean,
Speaker 1: they've been making They've been productive the last month, and
Speaker 1: also Sam Bradford making big throws. I think so too.
Speaker 1: I mean, I just I this is an interesting game.
Speaker 1: And if we are tired of the cults, and you
Speaker 1: want to end the cults more than you do, anyone
Speaker 1: wants to see the Vikings deep six out of this thing.
Speaker 1: And that might be me, right there. I'm a little
Speaker 1: tired of the Cults. You you can listen this Cults
Speaker 1: fan base, which is very up on that I do.
Speaker 1: I think it's an interesting matchup. I'm not saying that
Speaker 1: it's to take a dirt nap. No, I don't want
Speaker 1: the Vikings to take a dirt nap the Vikings. You know,
Speaker 1: Dan inadvertently called a team seven and sick. I think
Speaker 1: the Vikings are seven and sick. That's how I feel
Speaker 1: about them. But I will say that this is a
Speaker 1: Cults fan base that you know, it's a little bit
Speaker 1: of a woe is Me fan base right now. It
Speaker 1: has been since that they last missed the playoffs two
Speaker 1: years in a row, and that's when you went from
Speaker 1: Jim Harbaugh as your quarterback to the next year Peyton Manning,
Speaker 1: and from Peyton Manning to Andrew. Look, you haven't had
Speaker 1: a tough time of it. You might have to go
Speaker 1: through a little bit of a dark time to learn
Speaker 1: what it means to be an NFL fan in this century.
Speaker 1: It all kind of turns back to that Cessler dark zone.
Speaker 1: I'm just saying you're allowed to have a tough Sunday,
Speaker 1: terrible job by the Cults last week losing at home.
Speaker 1: That's the way they did, and that it's a hard
Speaker 1: they're hard to take serious after what they did there.
Speaker 1: And but a road in win in Minnesota would be
Speaker 1: uh important and it also impressive. The Vikings, by the way,
Speaker 1: one last note on them, guys before we move on. Uh,
Speaker 1: they were the last undefeated team this season for five
Speaker 1: and oh since nineteen seventy, only one, only one says
Speaker 1: the NFL's last undefeated team missed the playoffs. Very good.
Speaker 1: You know, I know because I said it on this pie.
Speaker 1: I remember, look at you. I wasn't listening. It was
Speaker 1: it was after I believe the Vikings Cowboys Thursday night
Speaker 1: game Little Dome Patrol. So it was like you were like, oh,
Speaker 1: Greg and West are doing their whole little uh they're
Speaker 1: cute little recap thing. Did I say cute again? That's
Speaker 1: what you were thinking they're doing. They're cute little recap.
Speaker 1: I'll just fast forward six into the show. Everything's accurate.
Speaker 1: That's being said right now all the show. I take
Speaker 1: copious notes on each of you and then file it away.
Speaker 1: You know that that's true. Should we say, real quick,
Speaker 1: if you're the cults after this game you've got the
Speaker 1: you have to go on the road and play the Raiders,
Speaker 1: then you host the Jaguars. That's your chance to save
Speaker 1: your season. The Vikings after the Colts game, have to
Speaker 1: go to Green Bay, not easy, and then you play
Speaker 1: the Bears. Is this one of those games, by the ways, Yeah,
Speaker 1: a lot of these fathers have already been disappointed if
Speaker 1: they route for anyone on either of those teams at
Speaker 1: this point, let's uh move on. Speaking of disappointment, the
Speaker 1: Jacksonville Jaguars are a thing that exists. Two and eleven
Speaker 1: now travel Houston to face the Texans, who, on the
Speaker 1: strength of that surprise win in Indie, are again alive
Speaker 1: and well it's seven and six and should be able
Speaker 1: west to take care of business against the Jaguars, who
Speaker 1: are an atrocity, but especially still on the road. Jaguars
Speaker 1: are an atrocity, but they've played hard the last two weeks.
Speaker 1: They've given the Vikings and Bills a game, and the
Speaker 1: Texans are not about to blow out anyone. I'm sorry,
Speaker 1: They're just not. These are the two quarterbacks in the NFL,
Speaker 1: the only two quarterbacks to start every game and failed
Speaker 1: to pass, failed to post a one passer rating at
Speaker 1: any point in the season. Oswilder's lasting yards per attempt
Speaker 1: at five point eight borders the second last at six
Speaker 1: point one. You're looking at about a five to two
Speaker 1: ball game. I think it's I was gonna I was
Speaker 1: just gonna say, like, what do you think the combined
Speaker 1: score is going to be? I would actually love to
Speaker 1: see that just for like folly value of five to five.
Speaker 1: I mean for you is that I'd have to say
Speaker 1: it must be more less belief in either offense than
Speaker 1: the fact that both defenses are not terrible. These are
Speaker 1: two good defenses. Jackson total defense in Houston sixth, so
Speaker 1: you and the Bears are seven. So maybe our total
Speaker 1: defense that this here's your here's your weekly Blake Bordles
Speaker 1: is a total mess stat for you. That's coming from
Speaker 1: our research notes. So we know the Jags are in
Speaker 1: an eight game losing streak. They also have the number
Speaker 1: one defense in the league since Week nine, so their
Speaker 1: their defense is playing at a level at least statistically
Speaker 1: that's better than anyone else, and yet they are losing
Speaker 1: every single week because they're supposed or what we thought
Speaker 1: was an up and coming star quarterback. He has taken
Speaker 1: a dirt nap on some levels, starting to believe none
Speaker 1: of these stats. Since Week seven. It's the Giants with
Speaker 1: the best defenses a lot of it's also the yard
Speaker 1: I think you know the but because there's no real
Speaker 1: dominant defense is how many good defenses this year have
Speaker 1: been exposed. So you know, maybe you gotta look a
Speaker 1: little closer at the numbers, but that is the stat
Speaker 1: that's the data. It's a big game though. Playoff wise,
Speaker 1: it was kind of weird to see Blake Bortles last
Speaker 1: week take advantage of the fact that um, you had
Speaker 1: um Harrison Smith. Harrison Smith was out this game, and uh,
Speaker 1: when you watched him play, I was like, oh my god,
Speaker 1: it's not just in junk time that he's doing things
Speaker 1: and the same actually like making a couple of plays.
Speaker 1: Plus markis Lee has been consistently good well and which
Speaker 1: is also not the was not the plan in Jacksonville.
Speaker 1: Just have to Marquise Lee and someone a couple of
Speaker 1: other known name receivers playing a much bigger role than
Speaker 1: Allen Robinson or it's times even Alan Hearns. It's just
Speaker 1: it's you look across the field. The same thing with
Speaker 1: DeAndre Hopkins, these quarterbacks are turning these star players into
Speaker 1: just as Dan would say, Jags Marcus Lee. Marquis Lee
Speaker 1: is coming off the best game of his career. He
Speaker 1: was pretty darn good last week. But if Allen Robinson
Speaker 1: ran all his routes close to the line of scrimmage,
Speaker 1: he'd beat the Jaguars number one receiver. He's his production
Speaker 1: is down because every time you see Bordles dropped back
Speaker 1: can throw a deep ball, it wobbles and doesn't get there.
Speaker 1: Here is a stat you could read about this over
Speaker 1: at the end around NFL dot com slash end around
Speaker 1: or NFL dot com slash Hansas Company Man either way. Yeah,
Speaker 1: but it's ultimately self self serving. Yeah. Uh uh. Gus
Speaker 1: Bradley is now uh fourteen and forty seven. It is
Speaker 1: very hard to hang around that long and have a
Speaker 1: record that bad. Uh a winning percentage of two thirty.
Speaker 1: Bill Belichick, who has a six seventy winning percentage in
Speaker 1: his twenty two years, would have to lose how many
Speaker 1: games mark to get below Gus Bradley's current winning percentage.
Speaker 1: Just take a guess, two d shoot, I wasn't listening.
Speaker 1: I'm not gonna lie ware. It was straight games. He
Speaker 1: would have to go owen sixteen uh forty one consecutive times,
Speaker 1: by the way, you would love to see that, how
Speaker 1: but uh, he would be a five. Yeah, he would
Speaker 1: have to coach a hundred and five years old to
Speaker 1: actually make it. So how many seasons would that be?
Speaker 1: That would be a million season something season. Yeah, he
Speaker 1: would have to because he's sixty one now or sixty
Speaker 1: four now, and he'd have to coach until he was
Speaker 1: a hundred and six. I mean there's like there's multiple
Speaker 1: people in here trying to do mathematical problems. Bad move.
Speaker 1: I mean, Colleen's not even listening to the show, like
Speaker 1: everything's gonna anyway. So the point there, Gus Bradley bad,
Speaker 1: Bill Belichick good. Can you imagine if Bill Belichick was
Speaker 1: still beating the Jets every year for forty more years?
Speaker 1: Would I actually I can't imagine it. I would not
Speaker 1: doubt it as something that could happen, or his son
Speaker 1: like stepping in and being better than Dad. And then
Speaker 1: as Dan is being lowered into the earth, someone tells
Speaker 1: him the entire NFL is just a joke that we've
Speaker 1: played on you and marking others for your entire lifetime
Speaker 1: tricks on you. You could have spent so much time
Speaker 1: doing other things that would be an awful funeral. In
Speaker 1: spent your entire employment history. All right, let's move on
Speaker 1: to the New Orleans Saints. That was grim. Guys five
Speaker 1: and eight travel to uh Arizona to face the five,
Speaker 1: seven and one Cardinals. We don't spend much time in
Speaker 1: this game, but I will report that the Cardinals cut
Speaker 1: Michael Floyd this week after a d U I R S.
Speaker 1: I can I have that exclusively, Guys, a d U
Speaker 1: I R S for Michael Floyd. They decided to cut
Speaker 1: him where he ended up a tease. We'll talk about
Speaker 1: that team a little bit later, but the Cardinals say
Speaker 1: goodbye West. Were you surprised he was a free agent? Anyway?
Speaker 1: It looks like a situation with we've had with this
Speaker 1: guy has been terrible. Just get out of our life.
Speaker 1: How disappointing was this season? This year? He he was
Speaker 1: incredibly disappointed, especially in a contract. You're a guy who
Speaker 1: late last season finished out with five yard games in
Speaker 1: the last eight games. He looked like he was ready
Speaker 1: to emerge as a top twenty NFL receiver, and he
Speaker 1: has spent the season dropping passes and vanishing from the offense.
Speaker 1: It's been an incredibly disappointing season for him and Smoothy Brown.
Speaker 1: I will say what we're hearing though out of Arizona
Speaker 1: is that while you know, we may be fine with
Speaker 1: him not being on the Cardinals and the coaches made
Speaker 1: that decision along with the front office, then in the
Speaker 1: locker room it has caused quite a bit of discord
Speaker 1: amongst some people that were very fond to Michael Floyd
Speaker 1: to see the Cardinals do this. I'm sure that I
Speaker 1: was thinking about it. How I'm kind of I kind
Speaker 1: of feel bad for him because the season that he's having,
Speaker 1: it's obviously so bad on the field, and then you
Speaker 1: get the d U. I he was asleep at the
Speaker 1: wheel and he's passed out. It's the ult the ultimate
Speaker 1: d U. I will thank thankfully where you don't hurt somebody,
Speaker 1: but where you're passed out in the middle of the street.
Speaker 1: I mean, they're going really bad for him right now.
Speaker 1: I hope he's okay. Yeah, that's a bad DU. I's
Speaker 1: pretty bad. Yeah, it's not. It's not your diamond doesn't
Speaker 1: that's the where you're passed out in the shoulder in
Speaker 1: the middle of the road where there might be something
Speaker 1: actually going on behind the scenes. Were hard to talk
Speaker 1: get down anyway about this game anything for us. So
Speaker 1: Drew Brees the last two weeks, what is going on
Speaker 1: with him? Six interceptions, zero touchdowns. Look, if the Cardinals
Speaker 1: defense was at full strength, I would be really worried
Speaker 1: about Breeze again for a third straight week. But they
Speaker 1: have no Tyrone Matthew, which we've known about. But now
Speaker 1: you have Taivan branch Out and Dion Buchanan are out
Speaker 1: in this one, So I don't know. Maybe this is
Speaker 1: a bounce back game for Drew Brees, but Breeze hates
Speaker 1: hates pressure up the middle, and with Max Younger out
Speaker 1: of this one, Clais Campbell could have a field day.
Speaker 1: He could, and you asked what's wrong with him? He
Speaker 1: missed Brandon Cooks by inches in the end zone early
Speaker 1: in the game on a deep throw and then Cooks
Speaker 1: dropped the touchdown a different drive, Traveris Cadet dropped the touchdown.
Speaker 1: Breeze could have easily had three touchdowns in that game.
Speaker 1: And give credit to the Bucks defense which was swarming
Speaker 1: against against the S. That was a strange game. I mean,
Speaker 1: I I also look at what happen with the Cardinals.
Speaker 1: We mentioned that rainstorm that they played the Dolphins in.
Speaker 1: They were Kerwin Williams was running wildcat, they did a
Speaker 1: reverse to j J Now and they're doing anything they
Speaker 1: could to get yardage in offense and get something going.
Speaker 1: They just seemed very I would never have said this
Speaker 1: about any game with the Cardinals last season on offense,
Speaker 1: just very much out of rhythm. Uh that's it. Let's
Speaker 1: move on to San Francisco. Forty niners or one in twelve.
Speaker 1: They had a golden opportunity to break their eleven game
Speaker 1: losing streak when they were up seventeen to three on
Speaker 1: the Jets last week and let that game. Guess they
Speaker 1: forgot about Bryce Petty. That's why you don't forgot about
Speaker 1: Bryce Petty. And now they go on the road to
Speaker 1: face the Atlanta Falcons, who have just basically got Jeff
Speaker 1: Fisher fired. That's how good they played in their last game, uh, Mark,
Speaker 1: So you would expect more of the same. Domination of
Speaker 1: the Falcons of an NFC West has been well, you
Speaker 1: have to wonder how long the coach in San Francisco
Speaker 1: will be around. I hope they wouldn't do the same
Speaker 1: thing to Chip Kelly this week. But I mean, I
Speaker 1: can't imagine on paper or worst matchup you're looking at
Speaker 1: in terms of points scored and allowed the most explosive
Speaker 1: offense in the league with the Falcons against a defense
Speaker 1: in San Francisco that I don't care whether you're home
Speaker 1: or away, especially on the road in Atlanta, just bleeds
Speaker 1: points for about it. How about this, By the way,
Speaker 1: Julio Jones is dealing with this toe injury. West, Why
Speaker 1: don't just sit Julio Jones. Yeah, I don't know if
Speaker 1: that's the plan right now, get assumed because you've shown
Speaker 1: you could score without him. Give him another week, Maybe
Speaker 1: give him two weeks. If you get this one and
Speaker 1: you're in good shape at nine and five, don't play
Speaker 1: him against the forty Niners. Couldn't agree more. Turf toe
Speaker 1: injuries tend to linger, and you can have setbacks with him.
Speaker 1: I would not play Julio Jones against fort especially as
Speaker 1: well as Tarior Taylor Gabriel is playing as a guy
Speaker 1: who's making big plays every single week. He's been consistent.
Speaker 1: I think that they have plenty of firepower without Julio
Speaker 1: Jones Wellhamad Sanknew also though is questionable in this game.
Speaker 1: He's pretty he's banged up as well, so well they
Speaker 1: got by. Was gonna say, you have both of those
Speaker 1: guys questionable. It doesn't even matter though against the forty Niners.
Speaker 1: I mean, if they can keep a clamp on Carlos Hide,
Speaker 1: which is essentially the only viable way that San Francisco
Speaker 1: can eat up the clock and score touchdowns and stay
Speaker 1: in the game, then you know their defense. Atlanta's defense
Speaker 1: is outside of Vic Beasley, is not a showcase defense.
Speaker 1: It's quite the opposite. But you got you're gonna win
Speaker 1: this game, and you can. You should be able to
Speaker 1: rest people while doing it. Yeah, the forty Niners totally overmatch,
Speaker 1: which makes it even more surprising the Collie and would
Speaker 1: decide to lock it up, locking it up. I'm locking
Speaker 1: it up, Dan Hans is la la la la la la,
Speaker 1: lock it up for real? Yeah, it's gonna happen. No,
Speaker 1: you're not. I'm not okay. People, you know the guys
Speaker 1: on their on their lunch break, they had to get
Speaker 1: up and open and close the vault for no reason
Speaker 1: at all. It was just a sham. There's union issue
Speaker 1: or the forty Niners even allowed to be part of
Speaker 1: a lock. I don't think. So let's move on. The
Speaker 1: Oakland Raiders are ten and three, UM coming off um
Speaker 1: a loss on Thursday Night football to the Chiefs. Now,
Speaker 1: they traveled to San Diego to face the Chargers, and
Speaker 1: I would say, Chris Westling, I would like to see
Speaker 1: UM how Derek Carr looks now two weeks removed from
Speaker 1: that finger injury, because their whole season rides on whether
Speaker 1: he's gonna be the Derek Carr the first twelve weeks
Speaker 1: of the year. Yeah, it's hard for me when I
Speaker 1: look at the way he's played the last two weeks.
Speaker 1: He had the pinky issue. For both of those games
Speaker 1: against the Bills, he looked fantastic to me. They exploded
Speaker 1: for three or four scores in a row, and he
Speaker 1: he just quick release, accurate, looked great. And then to
Speaker 1: go to Kansas City and have the worst game of
Speaker 1: his career in the cold, it makes me believe that
Speaker 1: that was all a cold weather phenomenon. And I think
Speaker 1: it was a Chief's defense phenomenon versa Bills defense, which
Speaker 1: is essentially fallen off a cliff of late. Yes, this
Speaker 1: is a interesting matchup between one of the biggest defensive
Speaker 1: Player of the Year candidates, which you can find this
Speaker 1: week at nfl dot com Slash position Rankings. Top ten
Speaker 1: Defensive Player of Year candidates Cleo mac against I believe
Speaker 1: a strong front runner for Defensive Rookie of the Year,
Speaker 1: Joey Bosa. I think bos has even got a stronger
Speaker 1: case than Macta. Oh, let me ask you a question, ready,
Speaker 1: who would rather have for the next ten years? That
Speaker 1: is a tough one. I think I'd have to see
Speaker 1: more of Bossa before I would put him over mac Okay,
Speaker 1: I want both would be great old on defense. Cessler,
Speaker 1: you gotta choose one. I'll go Bosa. You're going for it.
Speaker 1: He doesn't seem like the personality match with the Mark
Speaker 1: Sessler uh team. If you like the GM, don't have it?
Speaker 1: Why not? What's his personality match? You don't like the
Speaker 1: show boat guy that's having you know, a lot too
Speaker 1: much fun. All these guys are show boats. Give me
Speaker 1: a break, all right? So for this game, Mike McCoy
Speaker 1: uh on the hot seat, I think you you it's
Speaker 1: safe to say five, five and eight. The charge is
Speaker 1: as an organization, now have other things they got this
Speaker 1: this potential move hanging over them, and I'm surprised west
Speaker 1: that Philip rivers play has fallen up because he's been
Speaker 1: so good for so long. Whenever he goes into a slump,
Speaker 1: it's it's surprising to me. Yeah, I don't. I don't
Speaker 1: even really know the reason for it. He's done this
Speaker 1: in the second half of seasons the last few years,
Speaker 1: and the personnel is largely the same as it was
Speaker 1: a month or two ago. Melvin Gordon probably won't play
Speaker 1: in this game, which which means you'll get Kenneth Pharaoh.
Speaker 1: But other than that, he's still throw into Don Trelle
Speaker 1: m men, Antonio Gates, Hunter, Henry and and Tyrelle Williams,
Speaker 1: the same guys he was throwing too early in the
Speaker 1: season when he was doing well. Have you heard from
Speaker 1: Spice Rack this week? I have not heard from Spice Rack.
Speaker 1: It's probably been a tough week for Were we a
Speaker 1: little tough on him? And I left last show thinking
Speaker 1: I was a little bit rough on him, where he's
Speaker 1: genuinely been a nice guys. Probably stepped on your toes
Speaker 1: a little bit because of your close relationship with Mr Flame. Yeah,
Speaker 1: you I think that was, I probably would have been
Speaker 1: largely removed from the whole thing. But then when you
Speaker 1: bring in Mr Flame completely innocent out of note, Really
Speaker 1: Mr Flame did nothing at all, and you start holding
Speaker 1: him out with the words he used. But we're right
Speaker 1: back and again I'm taking him down again, Sicrack hand coming.
Speaker 1: I think he was an unprovoked shot against a heck
Speaker 1: of a nice guy like Mr F. I sent some
Speaker 1: jealousy here just between uh, spice Rack and Mr F.
Speaker 1: You should let spice Rack know that he could do
Speaker 1: an in segments sort of sponsorship. I mean, he could
Speaker 1: do something within the pot. Just because Mr F is
Speaker 1: the title sponsor doesn't mean that maybe Lock of the
Speaker 1: Week is sponsored you don't know, by spice Rack. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I think I think any endorsement opportunity for spice Rack
Speaker 1: kind of went by by his second I do like
Speaker 1: Colleen essentially putting us on that, and then you know
Speaker 1: she'll disappear for three weeks, so we have to deal with,
Speaker 1: you know, spice Rack for the next month. So um,
Speaker 1: all right, let's move on and take a look at
Speaker 1: the New England Patriots and the Denver Broncos. Oh, this
Speaker 1: is fun. The Patriots who looked again very good on
Speaker 1: Monday night beating the Ravens, you know, hurt themselves with
Speaker 1: some special teams things, but you expect that to get
Speaker 1: worked out by the time you get the January tom
Speaker 1: Brady looking sadly um as good as ever, which is
Speaker 1: not not at all suspicious. I just want to say,
Speaker 1: I mean, not even a little bit suspicious that Tom
Speaker 1: Brady at thirty nine years old is playing like he's
Speaker 1: twenty six. Not at all science. Yeah, there's a little
Speaker 1: Rocky four stuff going on. I think he's not the
Speaker 1: one in the log cabin. That's all I'm gonna say.
Speaker 1: Alex Guerrero making you more pliable. I like that that
Speaker 1: he explained that he was more pliable. He's very flexible man,
Speaker 1: and he believes that's made a difference, which actually kind
Speaker 1: of makes sense. I mean, I think he you know,
Speaker 1: there's sound reasons. You know, they include hard work, diet, exercise,
Speaker 1: you know, revolutionary um, you know, physical preparation. That could
Speaker 1: be you know, a part of why he's still successful
Speaker 1: in a lot of people, a lot of people through
Speaker 1: the years, uh that professional athletes have used good diet
Speaker 1: and work at routine that was very effective for some reason,
Speaker 1: tom aging backwards not at all suspicious. Well, I mean
Speaker 1: Tom Brady's not going to Cocy. He's not going to
Speaker 1: the gaslight to st cakaryokes after the company holiday party.
Speaker 1: That is the price. I he won't even eat strawberries. Yeah. Um. Anyway,
Speaker 1: so eleven and two Patriots, eight and five Broncos, who
Speaker 1: um are not safe that they could absolutely miss the
Speaker 1: playoffs of things work against them here down the stretch.
Speaker 1: And to me, Colleen, this is a game that the
Speaker 1: Broncos almost have to have. And that's a tough thing
Speaker 1: to say when you have the Pats coming into town. Yeah,
Speaker 1: Tom Brady and Trevor Simeon. I mean, it definitely doesn't
Speaker 1: have the same star power as it once did when
Speaker 1: these two teams played each other. But Brady, he threw
Speaker 1: over four hundred yards on what was the number one
Speaker 1: defense in the league, and that mostly came after Jimmy
Speaker 1: Smith went down. We saw that he sort of went
Speaker 1: wild after that. But the Broncos they still have Chris Harris,
Speaker 1: they still have to keep to leave, and they still
Speaker 1: have Von Miller, so you can't really count against them.
Speaker 1: It's always weird things happened when the Patriots go into
Speaker 1: Denver and play the Broncos, and I can't really count
Speaker 1: out the Broncos in this one. I sort of have
Speaker 1: like a weird feeling. No game at home for Denver
Speaker 1: should maybe this current team be counted out? Right? You
Speaker 1: know they talking about Bill Belichick. He emphasized to his
Speaker 1: team this week that that was the biggest issue. Yes,
Speaker 1: what I think Colin was in the middle of a
Speaker 1: greater point. Thanks for falling asleep on me there. Sorry,
Speaker 1: this is this is from earlier when I fell asleep
Speaker 1: on you. Yeah, I have I'm gonna go back to it.
Speaker 1: I sort of have a feeling about the Denver Broncos
Speaker 1: in this game. It's just sort of like, I just
Speaker 1: don't think that what we think is going to happen. Well,
Speaker 1: but I think the Broncos are locking it up, locking
Speaker 1: it up, locking the bigot that is that you hung
Speaker 1: on there, Well that's what I do. And the lock
Speaker 1: of the weeks and um for two. So you are
Speaker 1: you know what, you don't get enough credit. Thanks because
Speaker 1: and it speaks to me really that I'm pointing this
Speaker 1: out now more than anything but brand slams with these predictions.
Speaker 1: But then since you're not on the show. Every every
Speaker 1: episode it kind of gets wiped away. But right now,
Speaker 1: you you did very well with some sandwich props your
Speaker 1: what was your last prediction the Seahawks would beat the Patriots. Seahawks,
Speaker 1: and now you're gonna say that Pats are gonna go
Speaker 1: down again. Yeah, it's happening. I don't know. I'm sitting
Speaker 1: in rosy seat right now, so I feel like I
Speaker 1: just need to take down the Patriots. That's the first
Speaker 1: time someone in that seat has not picked the Patriots.
Speaker 1: It is absolutely right, almost as animated is Greg. I
Speaker 1: have to just like throw my arms around. So Mark,
Speaker 1: that was Colin was getting into something I didn't want
Speaker 1: to know. I mean, I interrupt you. I feel like
Speaker 1: we've given her and I love the luck. It's it's
Speaker 1: Darry and I feel like given her credit for it
Speaker 1: before they've actually beaten the Patriots. I think that's a
Speaker 1: big part of the puzzle here. And I watched the
Speaker 1: Titans just run through Denver's vaunted defense. It will last week.
Speaker 1: That's a concern. I do think that also. Trevor Simeon,
Speaker 1: Yes he's not the name power of Peyton Manning, but
Speaker 1: at this point, right now, he throws the ball better
Speaker 1: than brock Osweiler did at any point in Denver, and
Speaker 1: I think he throws it better than Peyton Manning did
Speaker 1: last year as well. He is not a major issue
Speaker 1: for Denver. I think he's helped him. I don't think
Speaker 1: they want to be passing the ball as much as
Speaker 1: they are. They have no ground game still. That concerns me.
Speaker 1: And you put out you put out Justin Forcet. He
Speaker 1: fumbles his first carry. It was a huge fumble last week.
Speaker 1: I mean, come on, I wonder if they will get
Speaker 1: Justin Forcett more involved in the passing game though, just
Speaker 1: since that's sort of how they used him in Baltimore
Speaker 1: when Gary Kubiak was there, he was arguably the least
Speaker 1: effective pass catching back in the NFL in the last
Speaker 1: few years, averaging about four yards per reception. That's not
Speaker 1: what you want from a I mean, I think he's
Speaker 1: probably getting close to the end of the line, and
Speaker 1: it's telling that he's starting. They're starting running. It shows
Speaker 1: how desperate they are. He was Gary. We need a
Speaker 1: guy to come in that. I don't need three weeks
Speaker 1: to teach the playbook too. He needs to be on
Speaker 1: the field Now, this is how you win the game
Speaker 1: if you're the Broncos, and I think it starts with
Speaker 1: von Miller having his best game of the season, like
Speaker 1: the Ravens showed it again on Monday night. If you
Speaker 1: don't get in Brady's face and make him uncomfortable, he
Speaker 1: is going to destroy you. They need to make Tom
Speaker 1: Brady uncomfortable even though he moves. He's moving almost suspiciously
Speaker 1: well in the pocket at this stage of you. Yeah,
Speaker 1: and by the way, I just want to state I
Speaker 1: have no reason to believe Tom Brady is doing this
Speaker 1: without with some type of use of anything that's like
Speaker 1: a nut natural ability and just smart uh and disciplined
Speaker 1: workout and diet habits. I'm just saying it's weird. You
Speaker 1: gotta get after uh Tom Brady to have a chance
Speaker 1: of the Patriots, and I think von Miller could be
Speaker 1: the guy to do it. What do you always hear
Speaker 1: about the best way to get Brady pass rush up
Speaker 1: the middle. They don't have Mallick Jackson anymore, and that
Speaker 1: was a big factor in the a f C Championship game.
Speaker 1: Von Miller is a terror off the edge and I'm
Speaker 1: sure they will be chipping him with running backs throughout
Speaker 1: the game. What a beating tom Brady took him that
Speaker 1: an FC champion, one of the biggest beatings I've seen.
Speaker 1: But also how different this offensive line for the Patriots
Speaker 1: is playing with and as you mentioned, the people that
Speaker 1: Denver were was doing that with last January, you know
Speaker 1: nearly a year ago that that complexion of that defense
Speaker 1: has changed. If this m v P race should go
Speaker 1: down to week seventeen, but if Tom Brady throws the
Speaker 1: kill shot against the Ravens number one defense, and then
Speaker 1: I hate this term the no fly zone, Well we
Speaker 1: got a trap game at a no fly zone from you,
Speaker 1: the no fly If he beats both of those teams,
Speaker 1: the two biggest challengers to the Patriots in January over
Speaker 1: the last decade, it's gonna have. Does it help that
Speaker 1: he may have a new weapon. Yeah. Michael Floyd's punishment
Speaker 1: for d u I is go catch passes from Tom
Speaker 1: Brady on a Super Bowl run. Yeah. Michael Floyd claimed
Speaker 1: waivers by the Pats, and I believe the way waivers works,
Speaker 1: it goes in order like worst the best record, thirty
Speaker 1: teams passed on him. Yeah, So the Pats took a
Speaker 1: flyer on him. And you know, we were talking about
Speaker 1: this on Tuesday Show that they the Pats have such
Speaker 1: a depth issue wide receiver. When they were running the
Speaker 1: three wide receiver set, they had a call time out
Speaker 1: when somebody had to lead the game temporarily. So if
Speaker 1: nothing else, Floyd gives you another warm body. Whether or
Speaker 1: not he can actually be a playmaker in this offense
Speaker 1: that might be asking a lot. Oh no, it'll happen,
Speaker 1: just because that's what happens. It has been an offense though,
Speaker 1: and I largely agree with you that we'll see a
Speaker 1: completely different type of player because that's just New England.
Speaker 1: But there have been at that that that position, specifically
Speaker 1: guys that have come in and found out we don't
Speaker 1: work here because we there's a cerebral side of the
Speaker 1: way they play their wide receivers that guys like Chad
Speaker 1: Johnson couldn't hang there. But it's he's not the only one, yes,
Speaker 1: all right, So Colleen, obviously it feels very strongly. Does
Speaker 1: anybody else in the room think that the Broncos, who
Speaker 1: are a desperate team, the Patriots can lose and still
Speaker 1: be in very good position for the one seed. The Broncos,
Speaker 1: they falled eight six. They're deep trouble. This is almost
Speaker 1: a wounded dog game. Let's hold off on the drop, Sid,
Speaker 1: I'd respect for a lot of people, especially my colleague Wis. Yeah.
Speaker 1: I don't like to hear wounded animals. Sorry, yeah, that's
Speaker 1: what's wrong with him. You have a dog. No, you
Speaker 1: don't know he died. Thanks for bringing it up, all right?
Speaker 1: Is that your dog? I love you, boomer Um. Does
Speaker 1: anybody else think the Patriots will lose this game? No?
Speaker 1: I respect the Broncos at home. You have to respect him,
Speaker 1: but I just don't think they're good enough team. I
Speaker 1: think the Patriots will win, all right. I'm not picking
Speaker 1: against New England until I, you know, potentially get a
Speaker 1: playoff game wrong that they lose. They're not. I don't
Speaker 1: have them losing again, and I will pick the Patriots too.
Speaker 1: And I respect Tom Brady. I'm sure he does sound
Speaker 1: like totally natural, but it is weird. It's a gift
Speaker 1: to say. Moving on the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. Uh, now
Speaker 1: this is where Colin, you need to bring the energy
Speaker 1: in Greg's chair because he is the Buck's booster of
Speaker 1: this room. Eight and five obviously playing extremely well and
Speaker 1: have a chance to go to the playoffs. But now
Speaker 1: they get the Dallas Cowboys um coming off a loss
Speaker 1: to the Giants on Sunday Night football, and I gotta
Speaker 1: tell you, wes Uh, I don't like Tampa's chances at
Speaker 1: all in this game. When you factor in Dallas needing
Speaker 1: the wind coming off the loss at home, I would
Speaker 1: have locked. I almost had three locks. I could have
Speaker 1: went with today this one. I feel very strong about Dallas.
Speaker 1: What oh what West? No? Wait what? I feel pretty strong.
Speaker 1: But get up? Whoa Buccaneers go into Dallas and you're
Speaker 1: I fell for this Bucks team last week. I fell
Speaker 1: for him, fell head over heels. I'm in love with
Speaker 1: the Buccaneers now, I'm sorry. The way their defense plays,
Speaker 1: oh my god. They were just all over the quarterback,
Speaker 1: all over Drew Brees. They get their hands on everything,
Speaker 1: every passage challenge. They tackle so well, the Gang tackle.
Speaker 1: Their energy is so high on defense. This team is
Speaker 1: playing better than the Cowboys right now. Wow, you know
Speaker 1: what said, I'm going to repeal my Cincinnati law and
Speaker 1: I've got off. Fuck up big d with a big
Speaker 1: You're making a mockery out of my favorite segment. It's
Speaker 1: it's a fluid segment. Okay, I yeah, there's no way
Speaker 1: that's crazy to me that you would say that, But
Speaker 1: you know what, you're educated. I mean, I love Keith Tanny.
Speaker 1: I like his name too, but he needs to start
Speaker 1: every game from from here to the rest so much
Speaker 1: better in a row. For that's big boy pants. The
Speaker 1: Bucks going to Dallas and win in late December. Big
Speaker 1: boy pants, you think they're ready? They are that type
Speaker 1: of team. Now, do you know who can wear big
Speaker 1: boy pants? Jamis Winston? Because you know what, you know
Speaker 1: what we complain about on this show all the time.
Speaker 1: Quarterbacks who throws short of the fantasy football, Well, that's
Speaker 1: quarterbacks who throws short of the sticks. Jamis Winston never
Speaker 1: throws short of the sticks on third down. He's going
Speaker 1: for the first down. He's playing aggressive, he makes place.
Speaker 1: He's so elusive in the pocket. He might not quite
Speaker 1: be Marcus Mariota, but he's pretty darn good. I am
Speaker 1: rooting for this Bucks team. Get Charles Sims back last week.
Speaker 1: They have a more well rounded team. Now about Marcus
Speaker 1: Mariota and Jamis Winston going one two in the draft.
Speaker 1: Winston Winston First, these guys are studs. How how rare
Speaker 1: is that. It's interesting. I think if you look at
Speaker 1: Mike Smith, who we've probably laughed about, you know, especially
Speaker 1: when he was a head coach math on this podcast,
Speaker 1: he is coordinator of the year material with the way
Speaker 1: this defense has played down the stretch, because last week
Speaker 1: Marcus Mariotte in the offense vanished for a large portion
Speaker 1: of that game. And it's the defense that against a
Speaker 1: guy like Drew Brees three interceptions and made the Saints
Speaker 1: offense look somewhat broken. So I I don't think it's
Speaker 1: a crazy lock. I think it's a lot to ask
Speaker 1: to go on the road into Dallas, because I think
Speaker 1: Dallas also has probably heard all this Johnny Come Lately
Speaker 1: business about oh, the offense is broken down entirely. They're
Speaker 1: in a big mess. And you know what, I don't
Speaker 1: see that lasting. It's not that it's not who the
Speaker 1: Cowboys me from here to the end of the year.
Speaker 1: This maybe the kind of game where the Cowboys are
Speaker 1: gonna say, we're gonna show you love the Bucks. On
Speaker 1: this one. The offensive line has been playing so much
Speaker 1: better for Jamis Winston. He's able to spread the ball around.
Speaker 1: I think he threw to seven different receivers last week,
Speaker 1: Mike Evans and Cameron brad together. It's just fun to watch,
Speaker 1: especially with the team they feel like the Cowboys felt
Speaker 1: a month ago. What happens Bucks the new Cowboys? What
Speaker 1: happens if the Bucks defense does perform extremely well and
Speaker 1: Dak Prescott struggles again? Is this gonna get real? This
Speaker 1: romo talk? You know, I was just thinking the Buccaneers
Speaker 1: have to like their chances. They're facing a rookie quarterback.
Speaker 1: Everyone talks about that like he's an m VP candidate.
Speaker 1: He's played like a rookie quarterback the last couple of weeks. Yeah,
Speaker 1: fewer than two yards passing, and each of his last
Speaker 1: three games a problem too. By the way, DA shouldn't
Speaker 1: get all the heat. Des Bryant had an awful game
Speaker 1: against the Giants, and he hasn't been the same players
Speaker 1: since he came back from the knee. Was the desert
Speaker 1: Norris Jenkins? Though I think it was it was both,
Speaker 1: but Des was. I mean both interceptions came on passes
Speaker 1: to him. He had the fumble. He just he wasn't
Speaker 1: getting any separation. I don't know. The Dallas offense is
Speaker 1: not breaking down against a bunch of total jabronies. They
Speaker 1: they struggled against the Vikings, which for all the issues,
Speaker 1: still have a very solid defense, and the Giants game
Speaker 1: is an NFC East primetime matchup. That that's how those
Speaker 1: games go, and this is how they got our defense
Speaker 1: than either the Vikings or the Giants. Right now, it is,
Speaker 1: but it reminds me of just a week ago when
Speaker 1: we're talking about why are the Patriots gonna lose to
Speaker 1: the Ravens because all this sort of build up on
Speaker 1: one team or the next and then someone just drops
Speaker 1: a hammer. Dallas also may have the power here to
Speaker 1: say enough with this business. If we're their their version
Speaker 1: of a slump other teams would take. If Tom Brady
Speaker 1: was facing the Buccaneers, I feel good about Tom Brady,
Speaker 1: But this is Dak Prescott. Both of the kissing cousins
Speaker 1: punted on the question. So I'll throw it to you,
Speaker 1: colle If Dak Prescott struggles badly against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers,
Speaker 1: is Tony Romo really become a conversation piece realistic one
Speaker 1: as we head to the final two weeks of the
Speaker 1: regular season. No, but you know who does Mark Sanchez?
Speaker 1: I think that about? You said, what do you think
Speaker 1: about my question. Okay, I'll start calling everyone in the
Speaker 1: building until I get a real answer. I will say, yeah,
Speaker 1: I think I think that one more game DAK struggle.
Speaker 1: I think it goes from Jason Garrett saying this is
Speaker 1: a non issue too, you get more hemming and hauling.
Speaker 1: I don't know. I I don't like them doing that,
Speaker 1: but I could see it happening. I just think you're
Speaker 1: you're you're changing the entire course of your season, and
Speaker 1: you've got listen. We also we're not in the locker room.
Speaker 1: To you, there is there is a there's a contingent
Speaker 1: of players in that locker room that are bought in
Speaker 1: on Dak Prescot right now. You can't just make a
Speaker 1: switch without it. But they've been with for so long,
Speaker 1: so what they don't have any loyalty here. It's a
Speaker 1: good question. But I think that there are some people
Speaker 1: that have watched what's happened this year and say, wise,
Speaker 1: change things after two games where we won one of them,
Speaker 1: let's move on. Finally, Monday Night football. Um, the Carolina
Speaker 1: Panthers at the Washington Redskins. Uh, Connie Fox, Uh, you
Speaker 1: know there was a report that Cam Newton had an
Speaker 1: m R I on his throwing shoulder and maybe that,
Speaker 1: uh makes you think, Oh, maybe that explains why he's
Speaker 1: been so poor with his accuracy this season. So we'll
Speaker 1: see how he looks in this game. Uh. And the
Speaker 1: Redskins no room, no margin for error. They gotta win
Speaker 1: at home against Pathers. Team have been a tough season. Yeah,
Speaker 1: Josh Norman revenge game. This is wait, we'll see, we'll
Speaker 1: see how I guess I'll be with Calvin Benjamin on
Speaker 1: this one. But four, let's go back to Cam. Four
Speaker 1: straight games he's completing fewer than of his passes. And
Speaker 1: I think I saw a major change in Cam after
Speaker 1: they lost Ryan Khalil. That was sort of that was
Speaker 1: a massive hole for them and they can't really fill
Speaker 1: it with anybody else. And it's not that Cam was
Speaker 1: having a great season before that happened, but after he
Speaker 1: went down camp season became even worse. Outside of a
Speaker 1: ten game window last season, he's never been an accurate passer,
Speaker 1: and I think that the offense has a lot of issues.
Speaker 1: Jonathan Stewart has zero one under yard games this year too. Yeah.
Speaker 1: I mean they were able to run the ball last
Speaker 1: year and and you know, take over teams that way. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I don't see them with much to play to play
Speaker 1: for in this game. They're going into Washington. You're the Redskins.
Speaker 1: You got this game, you have the Bears in Chicago
Speaker 1: after that, then you wrap it up with the Giants.
Speaker 1: I mean you, as you said, Dan, not a single
Speaker 1: margin for error here. And I think the Redskins have
Speaker 1: have a have a much more interesting, powerful offense that
Speaker 1: when it shows up, it can take over a team
Speaker 1: like Carolina that's had a number of massive stinkers on defense.
Speaker 1: I need to talk to David Ealely about having someone
Speaker 1: else cover this game Monday night. The last thing I
Speaker 1: want is to hear anything Josh Norman has to say. Ever,
Speaker 1: I have just written an article that I'm not even
Speaker 1: going to suggest people go read NFL dot com slash
Speaker 1: Cessler if you do want to read it, though, it
Speaker 1: is about Josh Norman. So I've been down that road.
Speaker 1: He seems a lot of people the wrong way, not
Speaker 1: just you. He basically said, was I remember when Steve Smith,
Speaker 1: when he was with the Ravens, came into Carolina and
Speaker 1: his revenge game, and everyone said, oh, he's gonna talk
Speaker 1: and talk, But Steve Smith actually said nothing. He said,
Speaker 1: that's not how it's gonna be with me, essentially, and
Speaker 1: so he's already talked and you're on a team, alright.
Speaker 1: I mean, I think, I think, I think Josh Norman's
Speaker 1: had some very good games this season. He's not been
Speaker 1: a total disappointment. But this is the game that you know,
Speaker 1: make it happen now or please stop talking? All right now,
Speaker 1: I'll stop talking. Did you did you lock something? Sorry?
Speaker 1: Oh Dan? Oh oh yeah, I left you on your lock.
Speaker 1: You know that wasn't personal, it was more Remember before
Speaker 1: when we started to talk about the locks today, there
Speaker 1: was one that I was thinking of. It was the
Speaker 1: Cowboys on Tuesday, So it was really that's where my
Speaker 1: heart always. I can see why you know, you've locked
Speaker 1: up and unlocked about six teams at this point, why
Speaker 1: you would be you know, searching for your final answer. Um,
Speaker 1: all right, College, thank you so much for helping us
