00:02:51

What.

00:02:53

Some spread? Let us be the first to wish a happy National Tight Ends Day to all those that celebrate and a happy Halloween in Houston where this election day our second amendment rights are at risk. After an AR15 fired erratically on Sunday, Joe Mixon a water kept the Colts defense sober in a back and forth affair as Josh Downs goes, Frazier was able to keep the Colts close. The Colts had a chance to tie it late but it was Daniel Hunter S. Thompson who went gonzo mode on the struggling Colts QB, ending the game for the Texans. Texans 23, Colts 20 we go down.

00:03:34

To Tampa Bay where Kirk did you know FDR married his cousins was wheeling a new dealing. No one thought he could use his legs but here he is going for 13 yards getting Falcons fans out of a great depression. Chris Kyle Pitts cut a body from a long distance away and it was literally a no scope as the refs didn't have a good angle to see if he scored. Cade Ottoman Empire made the defense look like turkeys and was a Constantinople presence in the Falcons end zone scoring twice. The Falcons walk into your trap. Take over your trap. Falcons 31, Bucks 26 in Miami, where.

00:04:11

The Dolphins were back to playing 2A girls one cup but this time their quarterback learned how to slide, making sure no one in attendance threw up. Trey McBride and prejudice was a tough read for the Miami defense. Going for 124 yards on the afternoon, the Cardinals hung tough, leaving it up to Chad Ryland, boy living in the Caribbean to kick the game winner. Hey, whatever happened to those guys Teege?

00:04:37

They sucked each other's dicks. Boom.

00:04:38

Oh, Sorry for asking. Cardinals 28, Dolphins 27 we head to Cincinnati where Max was on the scene.

00:04:48

Jalen Skirt Skirt was put into turbo mode after rushing for three touchdowns and adding another in the air. The rookie corner duo of Snooper De Gene and Quizzian Mitchell were playing young and wild and free while forcing the Bengals receivers to drop it like it's hot after getting blanked last week, Devontae Sam Smith told AJ Brown, you know you're not the only one as he went off for 85 yards at a touchdown. Ja'Marr Johnny Chase said I am the fucking game pal when he secured one of the only touchdowns for Cincy, but unfortunately it was not enough to secure the victory.

00:05:31

Eagles 37, Bengals 17 we head on over to Foxborough where Hank is on the scene for a stunning huh huh? Stunning result. Down to the Lighthouse where the team.

00:05:44

With the worst record in the NFL and the projected number one draft pick with an unfathomable amount of dissension in the locker room and a banged up offensive line, the New England Patriots went up against the super team New York jets and the explosive Aaron Rodgers in Devonte Adams duo. In the first quarter, Drake May was.

00:06:04

Run man run man run man run man.

00:06:06

As he scampered for a 17 yards and a touchdown.

00:06:09

Tyler caught a two yard touchdown of.

00:06:13

His own to tie the game.

00:06:15

The jets seemingly had the game wrapped.

00:06:17

Up in the fourth quarter after Braylon Greyjoy Allen's scored a go ahead touchdown with three minutes left. But Ramon Dre Stevenson said what is dead may never die as he scored with 25 seconds left to give the Patriots the win.

00:06:32

25:22 over to Detroit where everybody loves Raymond Khalif had 190 return yards and a touchdown. Freemason Rudolph and the Tennessee Titans are starting a secret society of sock and it was on full display against the Lions. There's a Laporte on the Midwest bay and it serves 100 catches a day. The Lions say Danny you're a fine coach, what a good champ you would be but we got Gauff, Amon, Ryan, Monty, we're top C Do do do.

00:07:05

Do do do do do do do.

00:07:07

The Lions 52, Titans 14 out west.

00:07:11

To Las Vegas where Xavier drama for your mama Worthy scored early as the Chiefs look to Kareem PI hunt the Raiders in Mark Travis Scott Kelce was fiending the end zone as he scored for the first time this season as the Raiders are last show world in the AFC West. The Chiefs now 7.0 debuted their newest weapon DeAndre Anthony Hopkins as they look to eat the NFL's liver with some fava beans and a nice canty. Chiefs 27 the Raiders 20 we head out west where Memes and Shane rode a boomer and we have no idea how it's gonna go.

00:07:53

We go to sunny LA where Dennis Allen has had it with these motherfucking Spencer rattlesnakes in this motherfucking game. Justin Gatlin Herbert gashed the saints Steve for 50 rushing yards while J.K. rowling Dobbins said when Guardian Leviosa and floated his way into the for a touchdown Joe Rogan alt asked Jim Harbaugh how they plan to beat the saints two things I said lad McConkie you're going in Blake group six tried to bang 24 guys points I mean by himself but came up shy saints eight chargers.

00:08:24

26 great job memes.

00:08:27

We go down to row John Maryland at a stadium that appropriately looks and feels like a toilet bowl because it was a matchup of number one and number two. Zach Urch so good. Come on baby, make it Urch so good. Sometimes gloves don't stink like they should even though aren't so good. Joe Torrey Taylor earned his Aussie punch stripes saying, is this punt returnable? Nar no no no. The Bears dialed up the Fridge play to put the game on ice, but fumble as Donald Trump Newton stopped the special Russian military operation, saying, you don't want to do that Madame Ear. The pairs took the lead on a late score, but then Jade and Daniel Day Lewis went method acting as the good old version of Aaron Rodgers and threw a Hail Mary where Tyreek Stevenson put his left hand up the commanders huh?

00:09:23

18.

00:09:24

The bears 15.

00:09:30

Standing on the corner, Jamis Winston Cuyahoga. Such a fine sight to see. He's now QB won. The Browns are having fun. The Lamar can't beat the afc. His arms are heavy, he's calm and ready, and there's vomit on his sweater. Mom spaghetti brown's 29, Ravens 24 and that is the fastest two minutes of week eight, brought to you by our friends at Chevy. There's a reason we've never done a Mount Rushmore pickup trucks. And that's because for pardon my take, there's only one pickup truck, the Chevy Silverado. Why is that? Silverado is a partner. A partner you can depend on. We've all spent time driving and using the Silverado for all kinds of pardon my take jobs, adventures and other shenanigans. Silverado has been our ride for a cross country trip to the Super Bowl. Silverado helped us dig the biggest hole ever in the state of Ohio. Last year at Grit Week, Silverado helped us give fullbacks the recognition they deserve with the Low Man Award. And this year, Silverado was out west with us for our latest Grit Week. Silverado brings the grit to legendary grit paired with modern truck tech inside and out.

00:10:43

So head on over to Chevy.com to build your own Silverado or Silverado HD and check out all the current offers on Silverado. Discover a world of strength and capability all behind the wheel of our favorite truck, the Chevy Silverado. Okay, Week eight in the books. What a what a Sunday it was. What a Sunday it was. We don't usually start with games in the afternoon, but let's rip the Band aid off. That's why pretty much everyone is here. Commanders 18, bears 15 PFT. I give you the floor. That was.

00:11:29

I don't, I don't take the floor. I feel like people, people tune in for sickest reasons.

00:11:35

Well, we should have, we should have probably taped immediately after because when. So the game was horrendous to watch. Caleb played really bad for three quarters. He played really great for the last quarter. Had two touchdown drives. One. Two game winning touchdown drives. One. That was not a touchdown drive because we decided to hand the ball off to Doug Kramer.

00:11:57

That was a wild call. That was just insane wild. Watching that. It's, it's tough what Bears fans have to go through with, with the coaching and the play calling this year. That's why you have a fullback.

00:12:10

That's why you have a guy, Roshan.

00:12:11

Johnson, who's a fullback or yeah, just a short yardage running back. But you can't expect. You can put like a backup offensive lineman in the game and deputize him as a fullback and be like just go block somebody. But you never give the ball to that guy unless it's like William Perry. Well, he's even on defense.

00:12:26

The best way I could describe that play was that was a play that you run when you're up three touchdowns and you're trying some fuck shit. Not play that you run when your offense can't do absolutely anything for an entire game and you still have a chance to win the game and you decide to do that. That's not the time and place. But anyway we can get to the coaching and all that because I got thoughts on that. The, the Hail Mary happens. And I was, at first I was just like of course. Because I kind of. We were sitting in the gambling cave. White Sox. Dave, who I love, but he was like, I'll never apologize for a win after the Bears a touchdown to go up one. And I was like, dude, we got a two point conversion and there's 23 seconds left.

00:13:12

I thought my best hope at that point was to get a pick two on the two point conversion.

00:13:16

Yeah. Oh, I thought a field goal was still in play. Just because you know you can, you can get a bomb field goal, there's a timeout. But I never thought it would be that. And the minute Jaden Daniels got like the second, like he scrambled and then he got a second scramble in the pocket. I think, I think you can watch the video. And I was like, oh no. Oh no. Because that's, that means everyone's set up. Everything's set up. And then to have it be a tip pass just perfectly land into Noah Brown's hands. I went in what I would say is just shock. And, like, I went up to my office and I was sitting there, and my body. It felt like I had the fever. A fever. Because my body was, like, overheating, and it was just, like numbness all around. Like, my legs were numb. That. And then I finally calmed down, or not calm down. I was calm because I was. I was numb. I finally came to, I want to say. And then I went online and saw Tyreek Stevenson waving to the commanders fans and talking shit and then not doing his job, which was to be the guy covering Noah Brown in that situation.

00:14:26

And I went numb again.

00:14:28

Yeah. So Tyreek Stevenson, he was talking shit to Terry McLaren earlier in the game. I think he got a personal foul. He did the point through a guy's face mask. That guy's a piece of shit. And then on the. On the last play, he was definitely lined up on that side of the field. Noah Brown didn't see the ball get snapped because he was waving at the fans.

00:14:44

You can see Bears fans pointing to him to tell him to go fucking play the play.

00:14:49

Yeah, good coaching.

00:14:50

Go do your job.

00:14:51

That were there. And so then he runs into the big mess of humanity, loses track. Noah Brown, who's the trailing guy.

00:14:56

Who.

00:14:56

That's what he's supposed to be doing.

00:14:58

That's what Tyrick Stevenson is. He's supposed to be guarding him.

00:15:01

He's supposed to be behind and. Yeah, there's just.

00:15:04

He got to the ball first.

00:15:05

Yeah, he did. He put his left hand up.

00:15:07

Yeah. It's not where he was supposed to be, though. He was not supposed to be there.

00:15:10

It was. It was a crazy last play. So going back, I thought Jaden played really well today. I thought he had an awesome game, an outstanding game. And the rib. I. I have a theory that his rib was never actually hurt. I think that after that first run of the Panthers game, the coaching staff was like, hey, Jaden, it's the Panthers. You just ran easily for 50 yards. First play of the game, let Marcus take over, go to the training room. And then all week long, it was all secret. They couldn't get a picture of the guy. He was like bigfoot. You couldn't find him anywhere. And then he gets out there and immediately starts running and running well with the ball, and he played awesome. The red zone offense stinks. But I think maybe the working theory is just don't bother with the red Zone. Just throw the ball from the opponent's 40 yard line every time and that'll work out. So he held the ball for 12.7. Yeah, 12.7 seconds on the Hail Mary that he threw, which is the longest. I think that's the longest in the history of next gen stats to hang onto a ball before throwing a touchdown pass.

00:16:08

And I just want to say, because I saw some Bears fans being like, what about the holds? Tyreek Stevenson negates all the holds. That's. That's who you should be worried about. There's no. There's no. You know, we talk about all the time that when you have a call go against you and you do the screen grabs and you put. It doesn't matter when you have a defensive back not even paying attention to the play. That's where all the blame goes. And it goes to Eberfluss and it goes to everyone on the coaching staff and. And the. That they threw out there after a bye week. But, yeah, that. There's no. You can't be like, hold. We had a fucking guy who wasn't even playing.

00:16:42

Yeah, I did see a couple of those screen grabs. I saw some of those video clips. If you're complaining about a minor hold on a Hail Mary, just get over it. Again, those are never called.

00:16:51

It doesn't even matter if it was. It could have been the most egregious hold. We had a guy not playing.

00:16:55

Yeah, you had a guy that was yelling at.

00:16:56

That's the problem. Yeah, it's crazy.

00:16:59

That's a much, much bigger issue. But that. The last play, I thought. I thought the commanders were done, but he got the ball down the field a couple times. He took what the defense is giving him. And then Tony Romo's dumbass. First of all, he. He jinxed her kicker the second before the kick was attempted. He's like, he hasn't missed all season. Yeah, he like snuck that in.

00:17:16

Yeah.

00:17:16

And then goes up, misses the field goal. And then Tony was like, I think they should put in Marcus Mario to throw this Hail Mary. Fuck you, Tony. You're wrong. Tony's very wrong.

00:17:25

It was short.

00:17:26

It was. Yeah, it was a little bit short, but it. It ended up working out. And I think that that is probably the happiest I've been. This is actually how sad my life as an NFL fan has been. I think that play that I just got to witness today, that is my happiest moment as an NFL fan since I've started watching football because the Redskins won a Super bowl when I was like 6. I don't remember that. I remember the celebration afterwards. I maybe remember a little bit of it. But since then, you know what my second favorite memory is probably, besides obviously Dan Snyder selling the team. I don't count that as football, though. It's off the field. On the field.

00:18:01

Monday Night Football.

00:18:02

RG3.

00:18:04

Monday Night Football was cool this year.

00:18:06

But no, I was in the Vikings game.

00:18:07

I would say. No, I would say winning a playoff game in Tampa. We beat Chris Sims and we won 17 to 10. I think Mark Brunell had like 35 yards passing that game. That until. Until today was my best football memory. And then this was just. It was. Sometimes, no matter how fucked up you are as an organization, sometimes there. There are guys. And I think that Jaden Daniels is one of those guys that he completely changes everything. Like, completely makes people take you seriously because he's that special and that good. I'm very. It's like when North Korea got the atomic bomb. It's like, yeah, you guys are a ridiculous organization. But now we have to kind of respect you, give you some space. He's my atomic bomb, and he's so fucking good. And I love watching him play.

00:18:53

I'm just a loser. I don't really know. I don't. I mean, I'm happy for you. I'm a loser. I've always been a loser. I'm a loser. I don't. It was a terrible football weekend start to finish. I thought it was going to be bad. It somehow was way worse. And it was. Somehow. We talked about it on Friday being like, what would get the best ratings? What would get the most people watching? This is it. Yeah, that. That ending was it. That was a dog game by the Bears. They're. They're a joke. The Eberfluze comes out of the bye week. I don't even know what they did during the bye week. There feels like it was no game plan. Caleb was bad. I. I'll. I'll save for my positive spins for the end that you guys will think I'm crazy, but that we're. I'm a loser. And that was loser football. And Eber Fluss should be ashamed of himself and Shane Waldron should be ashamed of himself. And it's like, that's a game that was as ugly as ugly could be. The defense kept you in that game. They. They kept on holding the. The commanders to field goals and.

00:19:51

And you. You somehow have a chance to win it, and then you just blow it because the guys waving to the crowd and talking shit instead of doing his job. That's a joke. That's a. That's a Eberflu sync. That's a top down thing. Like, that's not. I know Tyreek Stevenson fucked up and he actually apologized on Twitter after. But like, that's a coaching thing. I. Because he's a good player. That's a coaching thing. And I. I'm sick of him. I'm sick of losing games that you should be able to win. And this was a game that we probably shouldn't even be able to win, but we somehow got in the spot where we could win it. And then it was just that. So I'm a loser. I'm happy for you, though. You got the atomic bomb.

00:20:25

Thank you. Before we started taping, we started discussing a little bit. Then we realized, let's not say any of this before we start getting behind a microphone. I told Big Cat I felt bad for him because it's a tough way to lose a game. And then he was like, don't say you feel bad for me. You don't feel bad for me. He's right. I don't think I actually do feel bad.

00:20:41

No. Something you just said.

00:20:42

But. Yeah, but I can also acknowledge that that's a very, very tough way to lose a football game.

00:20:47

No, it's like when like a co workers like grandparent dies, you're like, I'm sorry for your loss. Like, I don't, I don't. I never like. Yeah, I guess I am sorry for your loss, but I've never met them and I, you know, you're just saying it. I understand.

00:20:59

I'm sorry. I'm sorry that you're going through it.

00:21:01

It's. It is what it is. It's just like I. I'm numb to it. It was in like this. There's a lot of season left. But that also is gonna. I. I'm convinced that's going to be the game that's gonna. I'm gonna look back and be like, oh, they missed the playoffs because of this. And it's just. It sucks. It sucks.

00:21:18

And tattoo.

00:21:19

And a tattoo which. That, that's just like a cherry on top. And I was saying before, it's like I was gonna maybe just get my like kids initials or something, but then, then I'm like, oh, yeah, Why'd you get that? Oh, because of a Hail Mary. I'm not. Because Tyreek Stevenson's a fucking idiot.

00:21:34

Yeah.

00:21:35

So I don't know what I'm gonna get.

00:21:38

How Rattled, were you, Peter? How distraught were you before the Hail Mary? Because, you know, you guys just went through the whole recap. The Bears were about to win that game. Like somehow as good as the Commanders played and somehow as good as Jane Daniels played, you guys had 12 points.

00:21:53

And bears defense is good. And we have a shitload of starters out too.

00:21:58

I said that after the second field goal. I was like, this is actually not good. Like, our offense has been great, but it's not good that we have six points.

00:22:04

I don't know. Great.

00:22:05

12 points is not great.

00:22:06

Offense. Yeah, that's not great offense.

00:22:08

I thought that our offense is moving the ball really, really well. We had a drop touchdown and we had two illegal man down field penalties that backed us up off, which should have been like short red zone opportunities. It was. It wasn't really the offense in terms of like getting the ball out and getting guys open and all that. It was. It was making stupid penalty mistakes like we have in the past and just shooting herself in the foot.

00:22:31

Well, you say max.

00:22:31

Don't say great.

00:22:33

Because I mean like a penalty is not great.

00:22:36

Yeah, yeah.

00:22:37

Part of offense and penalties are part of offense.

00:22:39

I thought that. I mean, if you look how I don't have the stats in front of me, but if you see how many yards we had in the first half, I think that we had great offense in the first half. I want to say we had like.

00:22:48

But you score touchdowns with 250 yards.

00:22:51

Of offense and 12 points.

00:22:54

Great offense, touchdowns.

00:22:56

It was not good. Like the red zone was. It was a.

00:22:59

Actually my question was, how distraught were you before the Hail Mary?

00:23:01

I was pretty distraught because it was a game that you should win. Based on how we played and the fact that we just let him hang around and let him hang around until the very end. Honestly, like, it was. I was very, very upset at that point because when the Bears had the ball with two minutes left, I was like, here's what's going to happen. They're going to score a touchdown and we're going to have 25 seconds left on the clock. And then you get the ball with 25 seconds. Too much time for Jane Daniels. I didn't think he could do it. I thought that was impossible.

00:23:30

I don't know. I'm a loser. I mean, the Bears defense played great. They played great because they had no help. The Bears offense did nothing. Never sustained a drive.

00:23:39

And whose was the commander's offense greater than the Bears Defense was great.

00:23:43

I think so.

00:23:45

I don't.

00:23:45

They both.

00:23:46

I mean, they didn't. They didn't score touchdowns.

00:23:48

Who played greater?

00:23:49

I. The Bears defense kept him in this game. They. They did not. The Bears offense did not do shit for three quarters. Not a single thing where they didn't get first downs. They were giving bad field position. They were just doing everything bad outside of turning the ball over. And the Bears defense just kept on answering the bell and making sure that they kept it a one score game for a long time. A two score or, you know, it was two score game for a little bit. But like that, that game, if the Bears defense doesn't play the way they do it, it would have been a blowout because the Bears offense just didn't do shit for literally three quarters.

00:24:23

They kept them out of the end zone. Yeah, they did.

00:24:26

That's a very good. That's great defense to keep him out of the end zone.

00:24:30

Yeah. Great defense and great offense at the same time.

00:24:33

I refuse to say great offense. 12 points is not great offense.

00:24:37

I know. Listen, I, I agree. Like, you need to score touchdowns and inside the red zone, that was very, very bad. Our offense was very bad inside the red zone. I'll say that we were great in between the twenties.

00:24:49

I'm better than that. Great.

00:24:50

I'm okay.

00:24:50

I'm okay with you. I'm okay with you saying that we.

00:24:53

Were like all time great in between the twenties. Now and then you get in the twenty and you become all time bad.

00:24:59

But that's great defense.

00:25:01

That's when the. Yeah. Defense became great. It was just great football. It's funny that we keep saying great because it was not great football.

00:25:08

No, it was bad football.

00:25:09

Yeah, it was a bad game. It was a very boring game until the last like ten minutes of it.

00:25:16

I. So here's the crazy part. This is for Bears fans only. I listen, Caleb was bad for three quarters. Dog shit. The offense was so, so bad. I don't know what. Again, I don't know what the bye week was for when you didn't even have like, it felt like there was no flow. It felt like there was no, like, hey, here's a mismatch. Cole Comet wasn't they. They didn't target Cole Comet ever. The offensive line is a disaster. I understand that. Everyone always uses that as an easy excuse. It is obviously a problem and we had more injuries on it, but it is what it is. Like, we know the offensive line sucks. It's not like you went into this game being like, oh, our offensive line is going to all of a sudden be good. Caleb, what he did in the fourth quarter is why I'm not. I'm not selling any of my stock in him. I know people will be like, he sucks. He's a bum. He's a bust. I got about a billion tweets of that. I don't care what he was doing in the fourth quarter. That throw to DJ Moore hanging in there where he's got no time getting killed.

00:26:12

Yeah, I'm not. And then he threw that. That like, sidearm underhand one. I'm not going to change my opinion on Caleb Williams. I did change my opinion. Well, I didn't change my opinion. I just reaffirmed my opinion that this coaching staff is a joke and we need to get rid of them as soon as possible. Because it's like they're. They're. They're a joke. They're a joke. Like, that's a bye week. You come out of a bye week looking like that. I don't know what the fuck that was. So. And the Doug Kramer handoff is just an all time. All time. What?

00:26:41

Taken other handoffs?

00:26:42

No, he's been. So this all goes to week three against Indianapolis. Week three against Indianapolis. We had the. We had the set of a series on first and goal where Shane Waldron called just terrible. He called like a wildcat play. He called an option play to the short side. He just did terrible job play calling. And the offense went and was like, dude, you gotta. You gotta fix this next couple of weeks. Every time we got on goal line, it was the same thing. Just run the ball with Roshan up the middle. Doug Kramer would come in as a fullback. So he was like, hey, here's my new wrinkle. I'm going to hand the ball off to Doug Kramer. And it's like, it's. I actually feel bad for Doug Kramer because like, dude, you're. You're not a running back. You shouldn't be putting that spot again. That's a play where if you're like trying. If you're. If you're up by. And then now we're in fantasy land. If you're up by three touchdowns against the packers, you're like, haha, Doug Kramer, it's the fridge. But it's just. It was so stupid. And I just. This team is just.

00:27:40

It's. They constantly lose games like this and it's just a joke of a staff and the bye week just. But I'm not. I'm a little bit more. I'm not as upset as I was right in the moment. After the Defense will keep us in pretty much every game. You saw it today. The defense is going to keep us in every game. Caleb was really bad for three full quarters and if he plays even like B minus football, I think we win this game before we even get to the Hail Mary. He didn't. He played D minus, F plus. And then in the fourth, he played like A minus football and he was great and it was too little, too late. And Tyreek Stevenson. So, yeah, I'm a loser.

00:28:19

The big question I had about the commanders is their defense because their defense has sucked. Like, when I say sucked, I mean like bottom two, bottom three in the league at times today. The defense did play great first half. Great defense by the commanders. I thought that whatever Dan Quinn's doing, he's figured something out. They don't have, they don't have the guys, they don't have the talent on defense, but they're playing really, really hard. The scheme is adjusted because Dan knows what kind of people he has in the secondary and he knows what they're good at, what they're not good at. They're not good at having Emmanuel Forbes on the field and they're not good at a lot of other stuff initially. And now somehow they've managed to turn around and become a pretty decent defense. So I hope that part of it keeps up.

00:28:58

Well, yeah, I mean, in your, your, you said, I think in the middle of the game you're like, where's this pass rush coming from? And I was like, it's the Bears offensive line cannot block. I mean, we, we had a couple more injuries. It's just, it's a, it's a mass unit and it's just, it's. It's ugly. It's ugly right now watching their offensive line try to block and. Yeah, I don't know. I'm a loser. I don't know what else to say. I'm a loser.

00:29:19

Tori Taylor was awesome.

00:29:21

Tori Taylor is awesome.

00:29:22

He should get Pepsi Rookie of the week.

00:29:23

There's really good players on the Bears team and they just can't. Like, this was a game that was so ugly and they somehow found a way to persevere and then that happens. So inexcusable because that was going to be like an all time. How the fuck did they win that game? Playing as bad as they did offensively and proving my point of like, hey, this off, this defense is going to keep is going to basically allow Caleb Williams to have games where he looks like a rookie for three quarters. But then that happens and Then it's all for Lost. So I don't know.

00:29:56

I mean, it was an insane into the game. And when we had Jaden on the podcast back in. I think that was about a year ago. Memes, what did you ask him? Yes, I'm.

00:30:05

How far he can throw football.

00:30:06

And what do you say?

00:30:07

You said about 70.

00:30:09

That's awesome. That's so good. And I've watched that play probably, like, I'm going to say conservatively 60 times. And I've watched every iteration that play from every fan angle, from every TV angle. I watched the Spanish version of it where they had it on Telemundo. The announcers doing that call. I saw. I even watched the dots. That's. That's how sick that play was, is. I watched the dot thing that everybody posts about. They act like it's like, super.

00:30:34

Did they show the pregate, like the before snap dot?

00:30:37

Oh, yeah. They have it, like, at the snap.

00:30:40

They don't have before when he's like, waving in the crowd.

00:30:42

I don't know if they had. There was no hand on the dot that was waving, but dot talk, the dot, even the dots were great on that play. I'm going to watch that play probably 100 times tomorrow and for the rest of my life.

00:30:55

It was shocking.

00:30:56

I've never, like, I've literally never experienced joy like that. Watching a football game isn't that sad. Yeah, but it's kind of awesome.

00:31:04

But I'm happy for you.

00:31:05

Thank you, Hank.

00:31:06

Do you guys have any other questions?

00:31:09

Max has a question. You can tell.

00:31:11

No, I had no questions. I was just watching Big Cat during that.

00:31:14

I was. I mean, I'm a loser. I don't know what else to say. I'm happy for pft. I don't know, come at my expense. But, like, it is what it is. Like, we're, like, we're. The Bears are a loser organization. Like, I think Caleb Williams can change that, but this is another reminder of, like. And I just. I can't get over the coaching staff and their plan out of a bye week. A bye week. Like, you gotta look better than that out of a bye week. And it's just. It's just insanely frustrating. Insanely, insanely frustrating because, like, those games, the games where you don't play good enough to win, but then you find a way to win. That's when, like, those are the games that. You gotta have a couple of those if you want to go to the playoffs. And like, that they had it. And then Tyreek Stevenson decided To fucking talk shit to the crowd.

00:31:59

And the momentum of like winning a game. You should have lost.

00:32:02

Yeah, right.

00:32:02

Versus Right.

00:32:03

It would have been an all time. How did we win this game? Holy shit, this defense. Like, we're ready to roll.

00:32:08

Let's go face the NFC North.

00:32:09

Yeah, right. And now it's just like, okay, now next week against the Cardinals who are looking very good. That's a must win game. Knowing what you have in the schedule. And it's just, you just can't, you can't have that. You just can't do that.

00:32:22

I thought there was a chance because you did go upstairs for a while that you might have just done the Michael Scott and just like walked to the train tracks and tried to get on a train for a minute.

00:32:32

I was thinking about just going home.

00:32:33

Yeah. Yeah, it was, it was an extended, an extended.

00:32:38

Well, I was doing. I was prepping for the show. But yeah, I was. I definitely, I definitely was like, what if I just go home? Like, what. What would change if I just go home? We just don't do a pod.

00:32:48

There'd be a lot of very angry people out there.

00:32:50

Yeah, no, I'm here. I'm here facing the music. It sucks. Sucks. Tyreek Stevenson, what the fuck are you doing? Matt Eberfeuse, what are you doing? Shane Waldron, what are you doing?

00:33:01

It's very strange because I'm, I'm so, so happy and I understand why Big Cat's not. And it's just, it's a weird, it's a weird vibe.

00:33:11

I mean look, you should be happy. That was, that was an incredible all time win. I, I'm a little upset at the. Our offense was great comment, but that's fine.

00:33:22

We moved the ball in a great.

00:33:24

He didn't score touchdowns.

00:33:25

I, which I said, I said that the red zone offense was very, very bad. Atrocious. Worse than atrocious.

00:33:31

I can admit. Cale Williams sucked for three quarters. Our red zone and he played great.

00:33:35

Was disgustingly bad today. Disgustingly bad. I never want to see it again. But I do think that the offense played really, really well. I thought that in the first half they moved the ball so well. It just sucks that we can score.

00:33:47

Yeah.

00:33:47

Yeah.

00:33:48

The. Caleb Williams had two game winning drives. I guess that's the only positive I'd have. And none of. And neither of them counted for game winning drives. It's stupid. That was like literally something I said to myself. Like, oh, yeah, he had two game winning drive. No, he didn't. He actually had none because we didn't win. And also he didn't. We handed the ball off to Doug Kramer.

00:34:10

That sounds like a guy who's like 50.

00:34:13

He would have been a legend. He was a legend when he was blocking for Roshan the last couple of weeks. Everyone loved it.

00:34:19

Isn't he the guy that's from Chicago, too? Yeah, yeah.

00:34:22

And he's Hinsdale. It's just. It's fucking the whole thing.

00:34:25

Is he the Yale guy? No.

00:34:28

No, I don't think Doug Kramer went to Yale.

00:34:31

Different guy.

00:34:32

I don't think so.

00:34:33

I'm pretty sure how much percentage Kramer went to Illinois.

00:34:36

That's Waldron's fault, right?

00:34:38

Yeah.

00:34:38

Is that. How much. What percentage do you blame Eberflusse for?

00:34:41

I blame Eberfluous a lot more for the Tyreek Stevenson than I do the Doug Kramer. Waldron's the Doug Kramer. He's calling the plays. He's the one who installed that in the bye week and was like, watch this. It was fuck him up.

00:34:53

It was a genuinely insane play call to make in that situation.

00:34:56

It's third down. I mean, it's third down. You get two. Two shots to run the ball up the. Up the gut for a touchdown. Why? Why, Hank?

00:35:05

Did you see Dan Quinn do the double fist pump? You get. I get it now.

00:35:10

It's perfectly normal.

00:35:11

I get it now. In a moment of just pure ecstasy, the double fist pump, it occurs. It's like the going into fetal position happens when you're afraid. Naturally, the opposite of that is the double fist bump. When you're so pumped, that's the only thing you can do, is two pumps.

00:35:27

The last two things I had one is they had a. A sideline view of Caleb watching it happen. I don't know if you guys caught it, but, like, the funniest part, not funny, but Keenan Allen was just smiling because he's. He's a Charger. And he was just like, dude, this happens to me every time. Like, this is the Charger shit right here. And the other thing is. And again, I know that people are going to call me crazy and stupid, but it's for Bears fans only. I'm not changing anything. I think about Caleb Williams. He had a really bad first three quarters and a really good fourth quarter, and you win games in the fourth quarter, and he did enough in the fourth quarter to win that game. And then the defense, which did keep him in the game, had laps in Tyree Stevenson. That just sucks. So, yeah. Anything else? I'm also just mad that memes got to smile. On my face. Because Memes, we're going to get to the Jets. He is. He. He was. His season is over. His team is a disaster. But Memes, for everyone who knows, for people who want to know how this works, Memes literally just got, like, his quota for, like, views and clips and everything for the year based on that game.

00:36:38

He's like a cop at the end of a month, just sitting there getting people on speeding tickets. He literally can just be like, see these numbers? Boom. And, like, half of them are from the Hail Mary. And he's like, where's my raise?

00:36:50

I think it's interesting that Memes doesn't tag us in. In.

00:36:53

No. Because it wouldn't get. It wouldn't get the same amount of interaction.

00:36:57

Yeah. But I know that I've been tagged by memes when. At. When I'm at my lowest points after a bad loss. He'll tag the. Out of me.

00:37:03

Find him.

00:37:04

But it's.

00:37:04

It's.

00:37:05

I did this. I like this last month, and they. I did this with Hank last month, and everything was positive.

00:37:12

Yeah.

00:37:12

So show me yours.

00:37:13

They shout. They shout your failures. They whisper your accomplishments. Memes.

00:37:17

I love this meme.

00:37:18

Sucked off. What do you mean?

00:37:20

But that's. That was who.

00:37:22

By everybody online. And then you come in and you're like, oh, I feel bad for you guys. Like, you don't have.

00:37:26

Yeah, that was.

00:37:27

Don't do that. Don't do that.

00:37:29

You are getting sucked off. You are.

00:37:31

I might.

00:37:32

You've been getting sucked off. I've been. I've been getting buried. Memes. Getting buried.

00:37:36

Yeah, it was. It was a great, great afternoon for me, for sure. Million.

00:37:39

But you don't have to say you feel bad for anyone.

00:37:41

I retracted that because that's a. I do acknowledge it's a shitty way to feel bad. It's a bad way to lose a football, if I may.

00:37:48

Pft. I know you're not used to winning. Like, you're. This is the greatest accomplishment of your life. It's like a week six regular season game win.

00:37:54

Yep. It's not week six if you're.

00:37:57

If you're a real. You know, if you're going to have that winning mentality and you're going to actually, like, make, you know, progress in the playoffs.

00:38:04

Yeah.

00:38:05

You should be mad after as. You should be, like, happy with the win, but you should not be like, we played great and we had a great offense. Like, you guys lost that game. You guys lost the game where the Bears played like dog shit.

00:38:16

I'll be Coachable and again, lost. I need to learn.

00:38:19

And you got lucky. But, like, for you to be like, oh, it's great. Best day of my life. Like, you gotta. You gotta think about the. Some of the. Some of the things you gotta fix.

00:38:26

I know. I definitely do. And, like. Like I said after the Bengals game, I'm working on building a personal winning culture for myself. There's a lot I don't know about winning. I don't know how to handle it. I can't act like I've been there before. I've never been there before. So thank. To have Hank is like my shaman. Guiding me through this trip on how to. How to deal with success is very helpful.

00:38:44

What were you gonna say, Max?

00:38:46

Do we remember a conversation that we had in the past with a. A fan of a shitty organization saying that they feel bad for the.

00:38:53

Yeah. No. PFT did a. Billy to me.

00:38:55

I. I said he.

00:38:57

Billy.

00:38:58

No, I said it's bullied me. I said, it's a bad way to lose a football game. I didn't. I didn't. I didn't Billy.

00:39:04

You.

00:39:04

You did say no.

00:39:05

No, Billy would feel bad for you.

00:39:07

But am I not allowed to actually see that my friend Big Cat is just going through the worst ever.

00:39:13

No.

00:39:13

I don't care about you, but it's at your expense.

00:39:16

Yeah, you should. I know.

00:39:16

Your fault.

00:39:17

That's what makes you so weird.

00:39:18

I don't need you to say you feel bad for me. I feel bad for me. Enough.

00:39:21

Okay.

00:39:21

More than enough.

00:39:22

Okay. I'm just acknowledging that it's a bad way to lose football.

00:39:25

But it does hurt when you're like, I feel bad for you. That's a hurt. That's hurtful. Okay.

00:39:30

You should be saying, I feel bad for us that we almost lost you.

00:39:34

Yeah.

00:39:34

Okay. All right, Memes.

00:39:37

What are you guys. Don't.

00:39:41

You. Don't call me. Don't you.

00:39:43

For a minute is just.

00:39:45

No, I honestly, I wasn't trying to say it in that way. I was saying that it's just a shitty thing. It's a shitty thing.

00:39:51

You don't have to say anything. Our teams.

00:39:53

But you don't think it's a shitty thing.

00:39:54

Yeah, our teams played each other. That's what.

00:39:56

No, I'm happy that it happened, but I'm saying, like, it's a shitty way.

00:39:59

To lose a football, but I don't need you, all right? Because we played each other. Like, you take it back. There's only could be one winner.

00:40:06

No, I absolutely would not take it back. After. When the Hail Mary landed, I got up. I, like, freaked out for a second. Then I looked around, just trying to find somebody that was also a Commander's fan. And then I realized I'm in Chicago.

00:40:17

I think Eddie was crying.

00:40:18

And then.

00:40:18

No Eddie. We all just. We ran. All of us ran. Eddie was gone. Chief was gone. White Sox. Dave, I think, got out of there so fast because he knows what he did by saying, I'll never apologize for a win. With 23 seconds left, me, Memes, and.

00:40:32

Max were popping confetti.

00:40:33

I turned around. I was, like, running around like Jimmy V. Looking for somebody to hug, and nobody would hug me. And then I look back, and Hank, Memes, and Max were. All have the same expression, just, like, their mouth open, just, like, staring at me. And I was just like, hey, guys, this is good. And then my mom called, and she was like, I think I'm gonna have a stroke. That was amazing. I was like, cool, mom. Don't have a stroke.

00:40:52

I have another. I have another thing that I would like. You know that that's, like, a lucky play, right?

00:40:56

Oh, yeah.

00:40:57

100%.

00:40:57

Okay.

00:40:59

And the pass was short. In. The pass was short.

00:41:02

That's just a lucky play. Like, any quarterback can make that throw.

00:41:05

Well, Jaden made it.

00:41:06

I know he also, like, don't.

00:41:07

But it's.

00:41:08

But it's not. It's just a lucky play.

00:41:10

That's what. I'm good. He's my. It was my A bomb.

00:41:12

Short of the. It was short of the end zone.

00:41:14

Everything about the guy. I don't know what it is. Everything about him. I love him.

00:41:18

That play was way less about Jaden Daniels and more. Way more about the Bears incompetency as an organization.

00:41:23

Not to mention the holds.

00:41:25

The holds do not matter, Hank. It was Tyreek Stevenson being a fucking idiot. All time, all time. Stupid, stupid play.

00:41:33

I went from being very upset with the team to just being like, this is. This is heroin.

00:41:38

No, you deserve it. I mean, it was. It was a great moment for you. All right, should we go to. Should we go to the rest of the games? Did we get enough blood?

00:41:45

Don't let Memes divide us.

00:41:47

I'm not. I have not said I wasn't. There's. The only thing I disagreed with that you've said so far was that you had great offense. That was the only thing that. That doesn't really check out when the Bears were able to hold you out of the end zone until a Hail Mary. But everything else. You guys. You guys, like, deserve to win. That game. The Bears did not deserve to win that game. They fucking sucked for the majority of that game. The vast majority. That would have been a lucky win. The other way, if the Bears had done it, it would have been like, how the did they win that game? Because they were a joke again, off a bye week. What did they do during the bye week? Like, Andy Reid gets off a bye week and he just kills people. That's what happens. Matt Eberfluss gets off a bye week and they run dog plays for three quarters, which I guess Matty Flu is a defensive coordinator or, you know, he's in charge of defense. So kudos to him, you know, great job, dude. If he wants to be defensive coordinator next year when Ben Johnson's our head coach, I'll be fine with that.

00:42:49

He can keep his parking spot. And then he had like tone deaf things after the game where he was just like, you know, there's a lot of positives to take from this. Shut the fuck up, dude. There's no positives. You, you, you. You lost in the most embarrassing fashion possible. Just go up there, take your fucking medicine, and realize that yet again, you lose a game that you should win because you're just not prepared as a football team.

00:43:12

Guess the line. Cardinals.

00:43:14

I mean, the Cardinals are good.

00:43:16

Whose lines is anyway?

00:43:16

They're. They're not top of the NSC West.

00:43:19

Where's the game?

00:43:21

It's in Arizona. Whose lines anyway? Brought to you by DraftKings Cardinals minus one. I'm gonna say Cardinals minus three.

00:43:29

50 keeps winning. Cardinals minus one.

00:43:31

Okay. All right. Let's get to the rest of the games where we can have some fun because we do have fun to talk about. It was a great witching hour. Browns 29, Ravens 24. Jameis Winston is 1 0. As a Brown starter, Jameis Winston is the best. Jameis Winston broke the 20 point mark for the Browns. Jameis Winston had the last two offensive plays. For the Browns was the full Jameis Winston experience where he tried to throw an interception to Kyle Hamilton. And then the next play was like, fuck it. 38 yard bomb to Cedric Tillman. Touchdown game.

00:44:09

Yeah, that was an easy pick that Hamilton had. He bobbled it like three or four times. Yeah, he's playing.

00:44:14

Keep it. Keep it up. Even bluey game.

00:44:16

James Guy, he's got a little short memory. He gets back there and he's like, fuck it, I'm going to gun it. And he. Man, he threw the ball all around today. I think there were four guys. Yeah, four guys with 60 plus yards on the Browns.

00:44:28

He was slinging it.

00:44:28

He was slinging it. Tillman. Tillman is a player that's on the Browns that everybody just completely forgot about. Yes, they had Cooper that. But yeah, Jameis was awesome. From the second he stepped foot inside that stadium until the second he left. He just delivered. He delivered everything that you want from Jameis. He had not one, but two awesome banger pregame speeches. He had obviously what he did in the game, which just throw the fuck out of the ball and be like, I'm going to find N'Joku down there and I'm going to throw it as hard as I can at his hands. And then after the game, he name checked Eminem and just quoted Eminem in his post game interview. He said, let's see, he said, like we got. There's a white boy from Detroit that I really admire named Eminem. He said, you only got one shot. Do not miss your chance to blow this opportunity once, last once in a lifetime. It was, it was just pure James.

00:45:17

It was the best. It was the best. The Browns look like a competent football team and it's crazy because James DeSean Watson already had the worst contract in football probably in history.

00:45:30

And Louisiana Purchase.

00:45:32

Yeah, maybe Louisiana Purchase and Jameis Winston today made it somehow even worse because it just shows that the Browns are not a bad football team. They just had Desean Watson as their quarterback. It's so crazy the last seven games that Desean Watson didn't play. Six of those last seven games the Browns had a 300 yard passer and the seventh was week 18 last year when they started Jeff. Jeff Driscoll because they'd already clinched the playoff. So every single time they don't start Desean Watson, their offense works. And then when Desean Watson plays, they can't score 20 points and they look like dog. It just further proves how horrifically awful the desean Watson contract was. But James, you have James like the Browns. James can do anything.

00:46:19

Everyone plays like a half step faster on both sides of the ball.

00:46:22

Yeah.

00:46:22

When they defense was fine. I can't tell if it's Jamis or if it's not desean. I think it's probably a combination of the two. Jamie's like the ultimate interim coach, but for quarterback, it's the perfect combo. He's the best interim quarterback. And then you step in for desean and then everybody's just so much happier to be at work.

00:46:37

Yes.

00:46:37

They work a little bit harder.

00:46:38

Yes.

00:46:39

And it was also Halloween week for Miles Garrett who showed up dressed like the Terminator.

00:46:42

Yeah. White face.

00:46:43

Yeah. Well, I. Robot face.

00:46:45

Robot face.

00:46:45

Yeah. He had a makeup artist come over for, like. How long did it take? An hour, two hours. All just for that walk. Just for that walk into the stadium. And good for Cleveland. I'm happy for Cleveland fans. And this. This proves our point that Jimmy Haslam should be invest. Investigated for crimes, given that he not only gave that contract out, but then forced Kevin Stefanski to play DeSean Watson as long as he did. Jimmy Haslam should be investigated for point shaving.

00:47:08

Yeah. And now the Browns. Yeah. Their offense looked competent, and they. James was throwing around. I know. Their offensive line got healthier. Nick Chubb is. He didn't have, like, a monster game, but he feels like he's getting back into health. And, I mean, the Browns are probably too far deep in the hole to get out of it, but I would just love to see James go on a little bit of a run here. Like, I would love to see James. Who they got next? I think they actually play. I think they play our Chargers. Yeah, they do. So we're gonna have to root. We're gonna. We're gonna root for whoever. We're gonna root for Jameis and the Chargers winning a Jameis ball out. Yeah. Session.

00:47:46

Yeah. So this is from our very good friend James. One of one. You knew he'd be all over.

00:47:50

Oh, of course.

00:47:51

He says. Since 2021, due to a torn ACL, broken back, and ruptured, perennial tendon, James Winston has had just nine healthy starts. Here's what he's done. Sean Payton, 5 and 2, 15 touchdowns, three picks with Dennis Allen, 1 and. Oh, two touchdowns, no picks. With Stefanski, 1 and 0 with three touchdowns and no interceptions. He's 7 and 2 with 20 total touchdowns and three interceptions.

00:48:17

Let's play a game real quick, because this is. James needs to be a starter in the league next year. Week one. Just looking at the teams going through it, Bill's obviously not Dolphins. I mean, if two against another.

00:48:31

Yeah, I could see him.

00:48:32

Yeah. Patriots, Drake, May, Jets. They should absolutely sign James. That would be an upgraded quarterback. Steelers. Steelers.

00:48:43

Yeah, Steelers.

00:48:44

That would be. I mean, James would fall there.

00:48:46

I mean, he's the exact opposite of every quarterback the Steelers have had in recent memory.

00:48:50

Yeah, Colts would be great.

00:48:52

Yeah.

00:48:52

Titans would be great. Raiders, like, there's a lot of team. Giants.

00:48:58

Just add Jameis.

00:48:59

Panthers, Saints. Go back to New Orleans. Yeah. Like, just add Jameis.

00:49:05

It's that simple. Add Jamis and have fun.

00:49:08

As for the Ravens, it was A weird game because they like the Ravens offense. The Browns defense played well. I. The Ravens offense was still good. They just felt like they dropped so many balls. Rashad Bateman, even that. That ball where he was just standing there by himself and he actually pointed to the sun. He like right after.

00:49:28

I love that.

00:49:29

And it was like one of those weird Lamar games where just a couple. Like he played well, but like there was a couple plays, a couple third downs that just didn't whether it be a drop ball or the pass rush. So, like, I'm not worried about the Ravens, but it was one of those. It was just a very Ravens game. It so much so that the Ravens now, since 2022, that is their eighth loss when leading inside two minutes of the fourth quarter. Yeah.

00:49:56

They're the worst team to close out a game.

00:49:57

It was so Ravens like that. You walk away from that game, you're like, no, the Ravens aren't bad, but they just something like they have these weird games where it's just like, I don't know what happens. They move the ball and everything works. And their secondary is bad. They're also very injured because they had Marlon Humphrey and Nate Wiggins out, but their secondary is bad. I mean, Eddie Jackson was getting abused by Cedric Tillman, but the Ravens, I'm not worried about. It was just a very Ravens game.

00:50:23

Yeah. And also they've got a kicker that's washed up.

00:50:26

Yeah.

00:50:26

Justin Tucker.

00:50:26

Tucker. This game might go different if he doesn't. If he hits that kick. Right.

00:50:30

You never know.

00:50:31

Yeah.

00:50:31

Lamar can only beat the nfc. That's what people are saying.

00:50:34

He is a little washed up. Who do the Ravens have next week? They're probably going to beat the out of someone. Right?

00:50:40

Let's see. The Ravens have.

00:50:42

The Ravens have to have the two weirdest losses.

00:50:44

Broncos.

00:50:45

Oh, that's actually be a tough game. Yeah. The Ravens, they've lost the Raiders and they've lost the Browns all over the map.

00:50:51

They lost the Chiefs. Barely. They lost the Raiders and they lost the Browns.

00:50:55

Yeah. And then they kill everyone else. So I'm not worried about him. But it was just a very Ravens loss. And I'm just happy for Jameis. I'm very happy for James.

00:51:03

Yeah, I'm happy.

00:51:04

Happy for Kevin Stefan.

00:51:05

I'm happy for football. Somebody said that. That James should host Family Feud, right? Is that what you guys were saying?

00:51:10

That'd be great.

00:51:11

James should host every game show.

00:51:12

Yeah.

00:51:13

Fortune.

00:51:14

He'd be a great. Yeah. He's the next Steve Harvey.

00:51:16

Love is Blonde.

00:51:17

He Would be great.

00:51:18

Call her daddy. Yeah, she hosts every show.

00:51:22

Is that a game show?

00:51:23

It can be.

00:51:24

Can be.

00:51:25

You can win millions of dollars.

00:51:27

The. So the rave or. Sorry, the Browns. I am happy for Kevin Stefanski as well. Just because he gets to be like, hey, I'm not a bad coach. I was just forced to start. Deshaun Watson.

00:51:38

Yeah, I mean, Kevin Stefanski, if he was unemployed, if he got fired, there would be like seven teams that would want to hire him.

00:51:44

I take them.

00:51:45

Most teams would try to fire their coach that they weren't planning on firing if it meant they could get Kevin Stefanski.

00:51:50

Kevin Stefanski come to Chicago and Vrabel good for Braves. Yeah.

00:51:54

Was he on the sidelines today?

00:51:55

I don't know because I think he was on the.

00:51:56

He was on the sidelines last week, too, and he told us in the off season that he wasn't going to be.

00:52:00

I think for home games he is.

00:52:02

No, he's. I thought he said that he wasn't going to go to the stadium. Oh, and then he was there last week.

00:52:06

He can't stay away from football and.

00:52:07

He was there this week. Jameson Braves.

00:52:09

He can't stay away from football.

00:52:11

Loving that.

00:52:12

Okay, next game. Eagles 37, Bengals 17. Max. The Eagles are back. That was a kicking. That was a pumping. What do you want to say?

00:52:24

There's not really much to say. It was. It was a domination on all fronts.

00:52:29

Jalen Hurts played great.

00:52:30

Jalen Hurts has been playing great the past couple games.

00:52:33

He has. He ran for three touchdowns. He had that dime to Devonte Smith. I think he only had like four incompletions in the. In the whole game. And it was all in the first quarter.

00:52:41

The second. The second half. He was nine for nine, 150 yards and two and two touchdowns.

00:52:47

Yeah. Yeah.

00:52:47

They look good.

00:52:49

Really good.

00:52:49

They look really good on offense.

00:52:51

And I think the Vic Fangio defense has started to work. That's the big thing.

00:52:56

It takes a little. I think it takes a little bit for the guys to get used to the new scheme, but I think that they're.

00:53:02

I think they are.

00:53:03

Cooper to Jean, playing slot has changed. Has changed the defense. That awesome.

00:53:08

That play that Sticky had on Jamar Chase on the fourth and one was huge. Incredible. That also was. The Bengals are in deep, deep water now. They couldn't run the ball today, which credit to the Eagles defense, but that was like you're fourth and one and you're doing a swing pass to Jamar Chase. It's pretty good sign you're not Feeling comfortable about your run game? The Bengals. I never. I'm never going to give up on Joe Burrow, but it does feel a little bit like Monty Python where he's like, every game afterwards. He said today that 10 wins get you in. So they got to win seven out of nine. And that's doable.

00:53:46

Yeah, you never know, but it's just.

00:53:47

Going to keep going every week.

00:53:49

Do Saturn. Saturn math.

00:53:50

Yeah.

00:53:50

Bengals are going to be taunted, absolutely haunted by the in the hunt graphic later on this season.

00:53:55

Yes.

00:53:56

Because they probably will win enough games to be mathematically not eliminated. And they're going to just keep being like, well, maybe. Maybe if I fuck around with the ESPN playoff machine for two hours at a time, I can figure out a combination that gets us there. But yeah, they've. They've lost too many must wins.

00:54:10

Yeah.

00:54:10

They've lost like three must wins, which is. I think that's one, two. You can lose two must wins and still win. But, yeah, I feel like they're. They're cooked at this point.

00:54:18

Now, Max grade this statement. Is it the Bengals last two wins against the Browns and the Giants. Now it's like, ooh, that was fool's gold. Or is now the. Are the Eagles now swept up in the fool's gold? I thought because the Bengals are just as bad. Yes.

00:54:37

I said that to somebody. I was like the Bengal to the Bengals thing. The Bengals are really bad.

00:54:41

Yeah. Because you just ran the gauntlet of just. You just beat all the Giants, the Browns with DeSean and the Bengals. Who. The Bengals could only beat the Browns with deshaun and the Giants.

00:54:52

Yeah. And then we play the Jags next week.

00:54:54

So it's like. Yeah.

00:54:55

You never get an answer.

00:54:57

I think.

00:54:57

I think the Eagles are good.

00:54:59

I think there are a lot of bad teams in the NFL right now.

00:55:02

The AFC. I think I saw the stat. I think 37% of the AFC has two wins or less.

00:55:08

Are you serious?

00:55:09

Yeah.

00:55:10

That's actually crazy.

00:55:11

Yeah. Look, the. There's the entire AFC east except the Bills has two wins. The Browns, the Jaguars, Titans and the Raiders. So that's three, four. That's seven teams.

00:55:24

What's crazy is this game was pretty close until like, what, 10 minutes left in the third quarter?

00:55:29

Yeah.

00:55:30

And then it was just switched. And then it was all Eagles starting at.

00:55:33

Yeah.

00:55:33

For most of the third quarter and all the fourth, I think it was a tie. It was a tie game in the third. And then we started thinking about what if they tied again and we make it three out of five ties between these two teams. And then the Eagles just said, no, we're just going to. We're going to just throw deep that. I mean, having Devontae Smith back is so huge.

00:55:51

He's. He's amazing.

00:55:52

And Andre Brown and then you just have Saquon too. That can just like he. He rushed for over 100 yards today. And if. And I feel like he didn't even do anything.

00:56:00

Yeah, he felt like a non factor.

00:56:01

It was a. It was just a quiet, let me go get 22 carries, 108 yards. And it's like, oh, yeah, that's. That's just Saquon.

00:56:08

And I. I do think it's very cute that you call him Quan. Yeah, I like when you yell in like, go, go. Yeah, it's cute.

00:56:18

Yeah. He would probably want to get his boys more yards.

00:56:22

Yeah.

00:56:22

Yeah.

00:56:23

Good guy.

00:56:23

The. I do think the Eagles are good. I. I'm never going to give up on the Bengals, which is probably going to be a fatal flaw this year. Just being like, the Bengals are going to be fine. The Bengals are going to be fine. Their defense was good against the Giants and the Browns was not good today. Like, they couldn't. They couldn't get a pass rush. The Eagles offensive line bullied them and you just kind of reverted back to they're not. Their defense just doesn't like. If they're not playing Daniel Jones and DeSean Watson, they're going to struggle.

00:56:54

What's just crazy, though is they're what now one and Are they one and four or Owen four at home.

00:56:59

They're owing Ford home.

00:57:00

Oh, and Ford home. Yeah, that's. That's generally the sign of a bad team.

00:57:03

Yeah, they're. They're own. Ford home. And they got to win. They got to win. 7 out of 9. 7 out of 9.

00:57:10

Yep.

00:57:10

Joe did the math. 7 out of 9 and the Eagles are good. Max. It's okay to say the Eagles are good. I want you to get your hopes back up.

00:57:19

I'm not. I'm not all the way. I'm not. I did. I think I started this off by saying I'm all the way back. I don't want to say I'm all the way back, though, because how can.

00:57:29

All the way back. What's a road?

00:57:31

Why wouldn't you want to say that? If we.

00:57:35

If we beat the shit out of the commanders on Thursday Night Football. Three weeks.

00:57:38

When is that game? It.

00:57:39

That's.

00:57:40

I think it's very 14 Thanksgiving.

00:57:42

Okay. Perm.

00:57:43

Bet it's a Perm.

00:57:44

Do a tattoo bet.

00:57:46

Perm.

00:57:47

No perm. Perm bet.

00:57:48

Yeah.

00:57:49

And I'll get it done immediately if we lose.

00:57:52

Yeah, me too.

00:57:53

Yeah, you can take your time. You can take as much time as I took.

00:57:56

No, I'll do it.

00:57:59

All right. Well, feel good. Max. Eagles are back.

00:58:01

No. Yeah, it's good. I'll be. I'll be sleeping. Sleeping well at night.

00:58:03

You guys get the Jaguars next week. Yeah. So like you said, who cares if you win that game, right? And then you've got the Cowboys. That's gonna. That game's going to mean something to you.

00:58:13

Yeah, always.

00:58:13

Cowboys. Cowboys will always mean something. But it doesn't matter.

00:58:17

Like it's two team race, the NFC East.

00:58:20

That's not true.

00:58:22

What?

00:58:22

Maybe it is. Maybe it is true.

00:58:24

You think the Cowboys are.

00:58:26

I don't know. Cowboys can go on a run.

00:58:28

Okay. All right, next game, Falcons 31, Bucks 26. The Falcons, they tried to blow this game, but the Falcons now have a stranglehold on the NFC South. They're 40 against the NFC South. They're 20 against the Bucks. Kirk Cousins has eight touchdown passes against the Bucks. Todd Bowles, I don't know what you're doing because the Bucks going to this game is like the Bucks don't have Godwin and Evans. It's going to be a struggle for them offensively. Baker. Baker will throw picks, but they moved the ball like Kate Otten. Bucky Irving. Baker was throwing the ball. They're the Bucks. Defense is what failed them today. The Falcons just carved him up. Kirk was on fire.

00:59:07

That and wearing the Creamsicles.

00:59:09

The Creamsicles, they stink in the cream.

00:59:10

Schools, even though they're objectively awesome. Kyle Pitts had a couple really nice plays. The touchdown that he had, though, that, that was very. So he let up at like the 10 yard line and glided into the end zone, hanging the ball out. He gets wrapped up from behind. I forget who was that Winfield that made the. And then the ball gets knocked out as he crosses the plane. And they don't have a camera that's on the end zone. They don't have a wood. Bill Belichick says it's a billion dollar league and he can't put a camera. We have pylon cameras. I know they made a camera. They put a fucking camera in the pylon and we don't have an angle to see if that was a touchdown or not. That was ridiculous.

00:59:47

It was ridiculous.

00:59:48

And then my other favorite part of this game was I don't Think it was Kirk Cousins, but some people said that it was, but it wasn't him. Somebody on the Falcons yelled cunt.

00:59:59

Oh.

01:00:00

During a play, and I don't know who it was. Maybe it was somebody.

01:00:03

Could have been Kirk.

01:00:03

So Kirk was. I think he was mic'd up today. Oh, he might have been wearing the wire.

01:00:07

He did do the walk into our trap. Take over your trap pregame.

01:00:11

I saw that.

01:00:12

That one felt awkward.

01:00:13

Yeah, that was. That was. Again, it's like when they put the chains on like he's a dog that they're dressing up when you put them on a plane. Kirk, say the line.

01:00:19

Kirk, can you pull up the video, Max? It was. It was quite something. He was. He was getting the boys riled up, but he was.

01:00:26

It was the pregame, and he kept repeating it.

01:00:29

Yeah, he's trying to get him to chant it, but yes. Hey, guess what? It worked in the fact that they won today.

01:00:35

How do you think he had to have it explained to him? They'd be like, Kirk, it's. It's like a home. A trap is a home.

01:00:40

Yeah.

01:00:40

Trap Depot.

01:00:41

Yeah. And the way it's started on slow.

01:00:44

Depot would be sick.

01:00:46

Trap depot would be great.

01:00:47

Should we start a line?

01:00:48

Yeah. Here it is. This is Kirk Cousins pumping them up.

01:01:04

We fight.

01:01:05

No, cap.

01:01:13

Good job. Good effort. I mean, hey, listen. Wins a win. Win. They won. And.

01:01:16

And he didn't mincy himself.

01:01:18

Yeah.

01:01:18

So that's good.

01:01:19

Yeah. The. By the way, I. I saw. So the Bucks. I don't know why this just made me laugh. It's very stupid Internet. But the Bucks posted their final score. And then Matt OCP Designs just replied. He was the top reply. And it just said, since becoming the head coach of The Bucks in 2022, Todd Bowles has a worse career than a Toyota RAV4. And it has just a list of the different awards. Coach of the year awards. Todd Bowles had zero, RAV4 has zero. Super bowl wins. The head coach. Todd Bowles had zero, RAV 4 has zero. J.D. power reliability award. Todd Bowles has zero. RAV4 has one. I high HS top safety pick. Todd Bowles has zero, RAV4 has one. And then could you take. Could. Could take you to a Super Bowl? Todd Bowles no. RAV4. Yes. Yeah, so he's worse than RAV4 physically.

01:02:10

It could take you there.

01:02:11

I just. I liked. I. I don't know why. It just made me laugh. It's. It feels like bad times for. For Todd Bowles because again, your defense, your Defensive head coach. And this is your. Your offense has both of your, like, you know, Mike Evans, a Hall of Famer, Chris Cobwin's incredible. They're both out. Baker has to basically be a magician if you score 26 points.

01:02:35

And he kind of was a magician.

01:02:36

Yeah, he was. And it's just like that. How do you not win that game if you have a defensive coach? It's just no adjustments. It felt like they didn't. They didn't get any pressure on Kirk Cousins. He was throwing dimes down the field.

01:02:48

You see that run he went on, too. Hit a little like 13. Yeah.

01:02:52

Yeah.

01:02:52

I think we can say Kirk Cousins officially healthy now.

01:02:54

Officially.

01:02:55

I think at the start of the season, Kirk Cousins was not healthy. I think he's played his way back to into as mobile as Kirk Cousins could possibly be.

01:03:02

Yeah. And then this also Atlanta, this is their sixth game decided by one possession. And that's kind of what the Falcons do. And they have a perfect quarterback for it because Kirk Cousins is 18 and 6 in one possession game since 2022. That's just what they do. This wasn't really a one possession game, though. They shouldn't have been. They let him back into it with the safety and then miss kick. Like it. It. They were up 314 or 17 and they just weren't able to close out, like really close the door.

01:03:31

It's just a sweep of the Bucks. And they are now 40 against the AFC or NFC South.

01:03:36

Correct.

01:03:37

This is. Yeah. This is Atlanta's division.

01:03:39

It's over. I mean, it's not over, but it's over.

01:03:41

Well, because they took care of the hard part.

01:03:43

Right. They had the Saints and the Panthers left.

01:03:45

Yeah.

01:03:45

Yeah. And the in the Bucks.

01:03:47

Now, can we just be the first to report. Congratulations to the Atlanta Falcons. On Atlanta Falcons, the NFC South.

01:03:53

You've done it. You've won the NFC South. Congratulations. Good job by you guys. Kirk Cousins, he kind of proved like he's. He's better than people give him credit for because he went to Atlanta and he made them a playoff team and.

01:04:07

They drafted a guy high in the first round.

01:04:09

Yeah.

01:04:10

To possibly take his job.

01:04:11

Take his job.

01:04:12

That guy was trying to walk into his trap.

01:04:14

Yeah. And Kirk took over his trap.

01:04:16

No, he said my trap.

01:04:17

Yeah. Okay.

01:04:18

Trap, Sweet trap.

01:04:19

Next up, we got Packers 30, Jags 27. Jordan Love got hurt again. Malik Willis comes in. Malik Willis is just a good quarterback now.

01:04:29

Yeah. So this now means that Malik Willis is 3 and O against that division. Right. He's got the AFC south and hell yeah, he didn't play last week against the. Against the Texans there. I know this is. Might sound stupid, but I get the feeling like Matt LaFleur has more fun calling plays for Bleak Willis because he has to do all the tricks.

01:04:49

Yeah.

01:04:50

He has to get, like, really weird with it.

01:04:52

Yeah.

01:04:52

And so he gets in there and he starts doing the, like, fake misdirective handoffs and then turning around and then throwing the ball back to where he just gave the fake from. He runs way cooler plays when Malik Willis was. Is still in the game than when Jordan Love comes in. But Malik Willis, out of nowhere got fun to watch that the dime that.

01:05:09

He threw to Jaden Reed that basically won them the game was incredible.

01:05:13

Yeah.

01:05:13

And he's. Yeah. He commanded the offense. The packers, their defense just takes the ball away. They have 19 takeaways so far this year. It felt like the game. Like the Jaguars were kind of in this game. And then the Trevor Lawrence fumble was a big change. And then the Jaguars got back into it. Like, they were able to get back into it, tie the game. But the Packers. I don't know how long. Do we know how long Jordan Love is going to be out? I think it was a groin injury. They have the Lions next.

01:05:40

Yeah.

01:05:41

I don't know which I. Malfoy might be able to get Malik Willis to beat the Lions. Yeah.

01:05:46

I mean, if anybody can stop that Lions offense, it's Robert Salah's defense.

01:05:50

It's just. I want to. Well, let me just say this about the Jags. I actually think Trevor Lawrence, obviously, the fumble was bad. He didn't play bad today. And he also had like, everyone got hurt for the Jags. I think Chris Christian Kirk is out for the year.

01:06:06

Brian Roberts is awesome.

01:06:07

Brian. Yeah, he's awesome. But they had a couple other guys get hurt. Trevor Lawrence was making some good throws, and the Jags were in this game. They're just. They kind of just jagged it at the end. Yeah.

01:06:19

Trevor Lawrence is. He's so confusing to watch because he's. He can make really great throws.

01:06:24

Yeah.

01:06:24

And he's a very, very good quarterback a lot of the time. And then he'll have a boneheaded fumble. And you're like, well, how do I evaluate this guy? Because he's so good at finding guys like middle of the field passing. He can make, like, the deep throws. He's got a great arm. And he also just looks like a quarterback. And then he just drops the ball sometimes. And you're like, well, I can't tell if you're good or not.

01:06:42

Yeah.

01:06:42

You might be very good at playing quarterback, but not very good at just holding onto a football.

01:06:46

Right? Yeah. Because that fumble. Yeah. It was like on the five, which.

01:06:48

Is a pretty big part.

01:06:49

That was a very big part. And also shout out. I don't know what defensive lineman it was on the packers, but an all time box out on that fumble.

01:06:57

Yeah, that was good.

01:06:58

He just hip checked the fuck out of the guy. Yep.

01:07:01

Booty ball.

01:07:02

I'm going to say something right now that packers fans are not allowed to listen to. And you cannot clip Tyreek Stevenson going after the fans. Not doing his job. Bears organization. Chris Brooks, the running back for the packers who went down with a minute left to run the clock out and kick the field goal instead of scoring a touchdown, giving the Jags a chance to possibly have some time left. Chris Brooks has never scored a touchdown in the NFL. And he went down.

01:07:36

It took his dream from him.

01:07:38

And he said afterward, just don't score. That's the only thing going through in mind. It's always a pleasure to get the win and then do whatever and first. It's always a pleasure to get the win first and then do whatever I can to help the team. That's the difference. Matt LaFleur coaches a team like that where a guy who's never scored a touchdown in the NFL.

01:07:54

I think that's why they gave him the ball. It's like this guy's never scored, so he's not going to score and ruin the game.

01:07:59

But it's just, it's. That's just good coaching and good, good clock management and winning football. And that was what Chris Brooks did. I mean, the guy. Do you know how hard it must have been for him to like in the back of his head, he's never scored a touchdown in the NFL. Why, like you got to see that. And it was a walk in and he goes down. He makes the correct move. Yeah. Because it would be hard to not have the instincts of I want to score my first touchdown take over in that moment. Yeah.

01:08:24

To just say no.

01:08:25

Yeah.

01:08:26

Deny yourself. This is also Brandon McManus revenge game, which is a touching story that I'm sure that a lot of people followed along with.

01:08:32

We all wanted his revenge.

01:08:33

Yeah. We all felt bad for Brandon McManus. It was. It was a bad game for the Jaguars. But maybe you. But I don't think it was as bad as you kind of wanted it to be. Deep down inside, if you're a Jags fan. You want, you want clean house?

01:08:48

Yeah.

01:08:49

House needs to be cleaned up. And this was a bad loss. He did some stupid shit like he had a defensive delay of game on a field goal. The packers were kicking a field goal and then they either simulated the snap count or they made weird movements, got a flag, called on them, and then gave him a first down during a field goal attempt. Like, yeah, that's the kind of thing that bad organizations do. And that was embarrassing. But I don't know if this was embarrassing enough to have the ownership, the Jaguars be like, okay, Doug has to go after this one.

01:09:17

Yeah.

01:09:18

You need a good ass kicking.

01:09:19

Yeah. You can't be as they were in this game.

01:09:22

Do you think that Sirianni is capable of giving the Jaguars a big enough ass kicking? Because if you're a Jags fan, you probably are a big Eagles fan. Right. Or does Sirianni see another coach, you know, a guy that's also coached the Eagles before and.

01:09:34

Yeah.

01:09:34

See what this league can do to you?

01:09:35

Yeah.

01:09:36

Do you think Sirianni takes it easy on Doug Peterson because he's like, respect.

01:09:41

I think Sirianni would do. Would like almost. He would get Doug Peterson fired and then he would be like, Doug Peterson, come. Come to our coaching staff because you got that Philly magic. Yeah, he would definitely do that. Have him come be a consultant, like a Robert Salah for sure.

01:09:57

I'd welcome, welcome to the team as well.

01:10:00

Yeah. Josh Jacobs, also very good. He had a monster game. He's a weapon. It's just, it's maddening that the packers keep going to Malik Willis and winning games, but they do.

01:10:12

It's crazy. And I've completely reversed course on Malik Willis now. I actually like watching.

01:10:16

How can you not?

01:10:17

Yeah, yeah, he's fun.

01:10:18

He's. He's going to. He's going to probably get another shot somewhere.

01:10:22

He's going to get a nice contract.

01:10:24

Yeah, he's going to get a shot. He might Matt Flynn this thing.

01:10:27

Yeah.

01:10:28

01:12:38

Okay, well, Hank just walked out. I guess we'll do Cardinals. Dolphins.

01:12:43

Yes.

01:12:43

Okay, we're going to do Patriots. Jets.

01:12:45

Hank might not come out.

01:12:46

Yeah, he might not. He might not come back. Cardinals, Dolphins. Cardinals might be good.

01:12:52

Well, they. They were, for a fleeting moment, in first place in the NFC West. Another tied for first place. Or is it 49?

01:12:59

I think the 49ers are ahead of the. Oh, no. Because they beat the 49ers.

01:13:02

Yeah.

01:13:03

No, no, they're in first place. They're in first place.

01:13:06

The NFC still in first place in the NFC West. They're 4 and 4. And they've unlocked Maserati Marv.

01:13:12

They've unlocked Maserati MARV. And Trey McBride is a beast because that was the two of them when Kyler Murray was targeting them today. 15 for 18, 235 yards in a TD. Yeah, like they were awesome. And that was a game that it felt like the Cardinals were going to lose. And Kyler made the big plays to get them into field goal range at the end. And the Cardinals might be good. Like I, I think they're still in a rebuilding phase because their defense not great and you know, they like. The one thing I was very impressed with Cardinals today is they didn't run the ball that great. And I always thought that if the Cardinals don't run the ball, they're, they're basically cooked. But Kyler made those like running around. Kyler plays on the weekend. The call of duty's been release.

01:13:59

Yeah, it's a great, great showing.

01:14:00

He gets, he gets a night off.

01:14:02

Yeah.

01:14:02

Give him. I hope that, I hope what's his name, Jonathan Gannon said after the game like, hey, you know what Kyler, you deserve Monday off to play some call of duty.

01:14:11

Yeah, give him, give him two days off. Send a replacer in.

01:14:14

Yeah.

01:14:14

And have him just take reps at practice. The, the Kyler Murray stepping up when James Connor can't thing. I feel like James Connor is. He's still going to pop up. Up for maybe three more games this season where he has two touchdowns.

01:14:27

Yeah, definitely.

01:14:28

He'll still have his good games, but he's not like a game changing running back.

01:14:31

He had one today. He just didn't count. Yeah, they just didn't run. It didn't feel like they had any pop on their running game.

01:14:36

He also had a very, very funny two point conversion where he tried to jump from like the six yard line when he got the ball.

01:14:40

Yes.

01:14:40

And then came down at like the four. Not even close to it. But the, the Cardinals, man, first place. I think the Cardinals are good enough to win that division. I don't think it's a good division.

01:14:50

They already beat the 49ers.

01:14:51

They beat the 49ers and the offense can look good. Yeah, the Cardinals are still in it.

01:14:56

As for the Dolphins, TUA coming back definitely made it look like the Dolphins were a competent football team again. They're back into their fun to watch because the last, whatever has been four weeks of the Dolphins has been a chore to watch on TV and Credit to Tua. He slit.

01:15:16

He'd slid.

01:15:16

He slid.

01:15:17

He did not wear the guardian cap today, but he did do some crazy, crazy plays, I feel like. So McDaniel was, like, just absolutely hating his job for the last four weeks because he had to try to run, you know, boring vanilla ass plays. He had to try to run Skyler Thompson play.

01:15:35

Yeah.

01:15:35

With no matter what quarterback was in, he's like, I'm just going to call the Skyler plays for you. And then getting Tua back, he's like, I'm going to have to throw the ball behind his back. I'm going to have Tua throw an empty hand with his left hand forward as he does a shovel pass with his right hand.

01:15:49

Yeah.

01:15:49

He was just so happy to get to do all the freaky. Weird.

01:15:52

The way the game started, I had a. I had a theory that was. Maybe people weren't really listening or thought I was stupid because it is a stupid theory. I was like, what if Tua got concussed into just being permanently in the zone. Yeah. Because that's how the game started. Yeah. He was doing crazy.

01:16:06

Yeah. Giving yourself a medically induced minor concussion.

01:16:09

Yeah.

01:16:10

Woodpeckers walk around all the time with minor concussions. Industrious as fuck.

01:16:14

Yeah. That's facts. See? So I. I don't know if the Dolphins are going to be frisky, but I came away from this. Oh, Hank. Saying no, I think.

01:16:24

I think they're back to being a fun.

01:16:25

Two wins.

01:16:26

Yeah. But they're a fun watch. But they didn't have their quarterback for a lot of games.

01:16:31

They blew this game.

01:16:32

They did blow this game, but I was frisky. Okay. I think their offense is frisky. Back to frisky. Like two maybe. Actually, frisky is probably the wrong word. Their offense is just good again. I don't know what happened with their defense at the end of the game, but their offense is fun to watch.

01:16:51

Yeah, they're. They're just a fun watch, period. If it. If the Dolphins are on now with two.

01:16:57

No.

01:16:57

Their offense is stacked. But I was just shocking to me that how bad they play without Tua.

01:17:04

Oh, I agree with that.

01:17:05

Like the 49ers offensive stacks. You could put any QB in and it's Brock Purdy.

01:17:11

Slander. I don't like that.

01:17:12

But the. The Dolphins is the complete opposite.

01:17:15

I don't like that. Brock Purdy, Trey Lance, Jimmy G. And Brock Purdy.

01:17:18

How much of a difference? Jimmy G. Super.

01:17:20

Brock Purdy's way better. Yeah.

01:17:21

Much better.

01:17:22

They Both went to the Super Bowl.

01:17:23

Brock Purdy's.

01:17:24

That's my point.

01:17:25

Jimmy Garoppolo, all he does is win football games.

01:17:29

But Jimmy G is way better than Tyler Huntley and Tim Boyle.

01:17:36

True.

01:17:37

Like they were. They were starting non starters.

01:17:40

Let me ask you this, Hank. Do you think that McDaniel makes a play for Jimmy G? He would have been a great team.

01:17:46

Where is Jimmy G?

01:17:46

He's on the Rams.

01:17:48

He's on the Rams?

01:17:49

Yeah.

01:17:49

He's probably. He's getting that slaying puss.

01:17:52

Yeah. But you think he wouldn't crush Puss in Miami.

01:17:55

Yeah. Well, la.

01:17:56

Like here. Here's Jimmy G. Is he. He did not. Not enough puss for that man in San Fran. Goes to Vegas Puss City and then he goes to LA. Push Lily Hills 90210 then. Now he's going to go to South Puss in Miami.

01:18:11

Yeah. He's hitting them all.

01:18:12

I think he's going to hit. He's going to have sex with every woman in America before he's out of the league.

01:18:16

Yeah. I just, I think the Dolphins. I. Here's what I'll say. The Dolphins are going to play spoilers. They'll be the team that they did that is trying to go to the playoffs late in the season if Tua stays healthy. You don't think so?

01:18:30

A team. Yeah. But they're supposed to be like a playoff team.

01:18:35

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

01:18:36

They're not.

01:18:36

They're definitely.

01:18:37

They're not.

01:18:38

Not living up to expectations.

01:18:39

And I, again, I came away from this being way more impressed with the Cardinals. I was more saying that. I guess it's because we saw what it was like without Tua that I was just so happy to have Tua back. Because having a Dolphins game on One of the TVs wasn't just a pain to like. Like I would. When the Dolphins were playing the last few weeks, I would just avoid looking at that tv.

01:19:00

Yeah.

01:19:00

Now I'm like, oh, what's Tua doing?

01:19:02

Yeah, they. They're fun to watch on offense.

01:19:04

Yeah.

01:19:05

They do crazy.

01:19:05

And Kyler is very fun. Kyler's having a good year. And I, I'm. I'm buying on the Cardinals being the, like the Cardinals could. Could either get a playoff spot or they could. Yeah, they could win the nfc and the NFC west is just a. I don't even know who's good.

01:19:21

It's mid off.

01:19:21

I mean, the Rams are all the way back. The Rams are one game out. It's crazy. All right, Hank, you walked Out.

01:19:27

They're not trading Cooper Cup.

01:19:29

They're not trading Cooper Cup. Hank, you walked out when we were about to do this game. Patriots 25, Jets 22. Go ahead, Hank. Floor is yours.

01:19:40

I mean, it's sad. It was fun the last couple weeks being able to, you know, look at. What is it called? Tankathon. Yeah, tankathon.com where all the losers go. And seeing our, our, our the New England Patriots at the top of the draft board, number one pick, had no expectations. Thought we were going to get Bo race. Thought it was going to be, you know, the Aaron Rodgers, devonte Adams, get right game, make a run for the playoff. They got a window. Drake May played great. Drake May only played like if Drake May played the whole game, they would have won by 40. I think he played like three. Oh, wow.

01:20:12

Three drives. Oh, wow. 40.

01:20:13

Scored a touchdown. What feet. Unfortunately for the Jane, the Hail Mary happened. I was really looking forward to being able to be like my quarterback actually scored today and he only played a few drives.

01:20:24

I'm sorry that I took that from you, Hank.

01:20:25

It's all right.

01:20:26

I'm sorry. I feel bad for you.

01:20:29

The concussion was kind of weird because it was like, I didn't. It didn't seem like he got hit that hard.

01:20:34

Yeah, he got hit kind of on the back of his head. It was a weird angle.

01:20:37

It was like a tap. And I don't know if that should make me more concerned or less concerned.

01:20:43

Why would it make you less concerned?

01:20:44

Because it wasn't like from the two.

01:20:46

From the visual test. It didn't seem bad at all.

01:20:48

Maybe he's too honest.

01:20:50

And the Kyle Rudolph story, I don't know if you guys saw some Minnesota Vikings fan found the clip from where it's from the play. You would never notice that he got concussed that bad in a million years. Like he was just coming across the middle and. And he got hit. But that play happens in every game in the history of football.

01:21:07

He's just finding out that concussions might be a problem.

01:21:09

No, but it was more like if he was that up from that play, then that after watching Drake May thing, I'm like, oh, it wasn't that bad. But then it made me think of what Kyle Rudolph said.

01:21:19

Are you saying that sometimes maybe concussions are under reported?

01:21:23

Yeah.

01:21:24

After that it's like there's a million today.

01:21:26

Do you. I mean, it is. So what was the meme you shared with us?

01:21:32

Yeah, Boston sports throwback made the meme. It was Michael Scott and his old boss At Dunder Mifflin. And the old boss said, or as Michael Scott was, you know, young Michael Scott with the long hair. 2 and 6. I don't have my phone on me. Can you read them?

01:21:48

Where's your phone?

01:21:48

Shaking hands. And they're both.

01:21:50

Where's your phone go?

01:21:51

Just living in the moment.

01:21:53

You just had your phone for the whole first part of this moment.

01:21:56

Well, I was doing my boomer.

01:21:57

All right, here it is. It's Michael Scott's bosses, the jets. The old bosses, the jets highest expectations in 25 years. Shaking Michael Scott, who's the Patriots lowest expectation in 25 years. And 2 and 6 record. Both of them. That's brutal.

01:22:14

That also reports dysfunctional locker room. They don't know if they're going to stick with Mayo.

01:22:18

It means you. You're a memes guy. Talk us through this. Memes.

01:22:26

I feel bad for memes. I'll say that.

01:22:28

You can say that because you. It is crazy that you guys are like full on rebuild and the jets are full on. We should win the super bowl this year.

01:22:38

All in.

01:22:39

And you're both 2 and 6.

01:22:40

And Drake made even play.

01:22:41

And Drake made it play.

01:22:44

He did play.

01:22:45

Okay.

01:22:45

He played.

01:22:46

So memes. I. First of all, I do want to hear your analysis of this meme, but also I want to hear what you're going to do this week to make it all go away.

01:22:54

Nothing. The season's over.

01:22:56

What?

01:22:57

It's over, actually.

01:22:59

Over.

01:22:59

It's over, dude.

01:23:03

Let me see.

01:23:04

Well, I have a fix for you.

01:23:07

Hit me.

01:23:08

Cut Greg Zerline. Yeah.

01:23:11

They should have done that two weeks ago.

01:23:12

It's insane. The guy can't kick. And you're losing games because he can't.

01:23:17

I mean, if he could kick. Rob Salah still has a job.

01:23:21

Yeah.

01:23:21

Against the Broncos. That's a win.

01:23:23

Yeah. You probably have two more wins. You're probably. Instead of a 2 and 6 team, you're at 4 and 4, like, and you're fine. He can't kick. And you just let him not kick as a kicker continually.

01:23:37

And Aaron Rodgers didn't even play that bad.

01:23:40

I mean, he's old.

01:23:41

He's. He's old as shit. There was a quote after the game from one of the Patriots players that said, he's just not the same. He was like, I chase him down and I'm £500. Yeah, I might have over exaggerated.

01:23:53

Did you see the quote Aaron Rodgers had? Jeff Ulbrich said, it's a moment of darkness for the Jets. And Aaron Rodgers said, I've been in the darkness. You gotta go in there and make peace with it. He's just talking about his darkness.

01:24:07

Yeah, he's talking about ayahuasca.

01:24:08

Yeah. Was that the ayahuasca or was that the. Because, remember, he did a darkness retreat that was different than the Iowa. Would you.

01:24:14

Would you go to a darkness retreat sober, though?

01:24:17

Yeah. Well, he went to the place in what was like Oregon or Washington where you, like, basically lived in a hut that was pitch black.

01:24:23

Oregon.

01:24:24

Yeah, I looked it up, too. It looks like a bunch of gnomes and they. That's right.

01:24:28

He, like, lived in a tree, right?

01:24:29

Yeah, he lived. He lived in, like, the. Like. Yeah, basically the side of a hill in a mossy home for two. Remember? He left it early, though.

01:24:37

Yeah, he quit.

01:24:38

So actually, he doesn't know this. He quit after like, a day.

01:24:41

It's not a real darkness retreat. Somebody comes there every day and, like, knocks on your door and talks to you and they're like.

01:24:45

Says a riddle.

01:24:46

Here's your food. Figure out this riddle. Think about this riddle. It is. He is a gnome.

01:24:49

Yeah.

01:24:50

This is a gnome lifestyle.

01:24:51

He's a Kebler elf.

01:24:53

Okay, so. Yeah, memes Aaron Rodgers. What are you gonna do with them?

01:24:58

Wait, can we. The meme analysis first?

01:25:00

Oh, yeah, good point.

01:25:00

Oh, yeah, it's a good meme. If we're just doing an unbiased breakdown, I would probably flip it just because the Patriots are the older.

01:25:11

Oh, good point.

01:25:12

They've been there.

01:25:13

That's a good point. That's why. That's why you're the best in the biz. Yeah, that's. That is why you're the best in the bizarre.

01:25:20

Also, he's wearing the. The short sleeve shirt. It looks kind of like Mayo's sweatshirt that he had on the sideline.

01:25:25

But let me. Let me back up this account. Rogers is the older guy because he's 40, and Drake may is the new guy. He's young, so it actually kind of works.

01:25:39

Yeah, but the page. The jets are still the little brother.

01:25:44

Oh, no.

01:25:45

Who's Kevin spilling chili everywhere? Probably Joe Douglas, sauce gardener.

01:25:51

That might be to a concussed.

01:25:53

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.

01:25:54

Concuss to.

01:25:55

So, yeah. Memes. What. What do you do? What do you do moving forward?

01:26:00

Well, Aaron Rodgers probably gonna retire just next week and then we just move on.

01:26:08

This is so sad. So you're totally done? Well, I mean, that never totally. No, because let's. Let's be. We gotta all be honest here. Like, I'm. I'm not. I think The Bears still make the playoffs. That's stupid.

01:26:23

Right now we can't make the playoffs.

01:26:24

You can't. So you're totally done.

01:26:26

We're right now I've been saying we'll go like 11 and 6, blah blah blah. We're on pace for 2 and 15.

01:26:33

2 and 15.

01:26:34

2 and 15 team.

01:26:36

Yeah. And the vibes are really bad in the locker room. I don't know if you saw some.

01:26:40

Of the tweets, but I did not.

01:26:42

There was one that was. Let me find it for you because I just want to. I want to get your thoughts on it. Breeze hall was in the jets locker room in full uniform, towel over his head with head hanging low, hands on his head. This loss devastating on so so many levels to players in here. They're searching for answers. They can't find hall, one of those guys who this means much more or so much to. Damn full pet. Full uniform, pads, everything.

01:27:10

Just they need a realer speech from devonte Adams. The last one obviously wasn't real enough. Yeah they. I have a insult stat so it means cover your ears.

01:27:20

Oh yeah.

01:27:20

From Rich Samini said this is crazy. The jets had zero turnovers, held the Patriots at 247 yards and still lost to their first team to lose a game in which they did not turn the ball over and held their opponent under 250 yards since week three of 2012. You know what happened week three of 2012 also Aaron Rodgers lost. Oh to the Seahawks in the Fail Mary game. Since then teams to do that had been 220 and zero until today. Oh, pretty pretty.

01:27:50

Also also means Jacoby Brissett did a game winning drive on you and he's not a good quarterback.

01:27:58

And the big play was on Sauce Gardner.

01:28:01

And also I can I say something that I think Hank, you'll probably agree with? I think actually Max, you'll agree with. Pft you definitely will agree with. I think if the Patriots learned how to catch the ball and caught the ball in this game, they probably would have won by like two touchdowns. Yeah.

01:28:17

They had so many drops.

01:28:18

They dropped a million balls.

01:28:21

I don't think they went by two.

01:28:22

Touchdowns, but Trick made play the whole game.

01:28:25

How did Kudy get so bad at catching the ball?

01:28:27

They dropped everything.

01:28:28

Memes they did drop.

01:28:30

He was supposed to be like in college. He was. He was going to be like a top 10 pick.

01:28:35

Yeah. Hassan Reddick, he played.

01:28:39

We suck. We suck. We suck nothing. There's no help. We don't have a coach. We fired the coach. We upgraded to the dc. He's in over his head. He used all his timeouts in the first quarter. He doesn't know what he's.

01:28:54

That was nuts.

01:28:55

It's crazy.

01:28:56

All the timeouts gone.

01:28:58

That was crazy.

01:29:00

You just got to hope Woody Johnson gets arrested.

01:29:03

Yeah. This is a disaster of a season. How's Greeny doing?

01:29:06

He's also lighthouse curse broken.

01:29:09

Oh, yeah.

01:29:09

You can't even use that anymore. How mad does that make you?

01:29:12

Oh, what do you mean?

01:29:13

You have two. You have two wins. It's a dumb fucking lighthouse bit built.

01:29:16

No, but he.

01:29:17

No more.

01:29:18

Hank did just. No, that was their first win in front of the new Lighthouse.

01:29:22

No, second they Bills when last season they did. Yeah.

01:29:28

In front of the new hot Lighthouse.

01:29:30

That was their only home win. All right. Yeah.

01:29:32

Memes definitely did some research because he knew that was going to come up.

01:29:36

What he's been saying is that. No.

01:29:38

Since I rung the bell.

01:29:39

Oh, yeah, yeah.

01:29:41

That's the one that you post every week. What are you talking. Talking about?

01:29:43

Yeah, since Hank kept the light.

01:29:44

No, it's not.

01:29:46

Yeah.

01:29:46

What do you post every week?

01:29:47

The overall record.

01:29:48

No, it's. I've seen. I. Hank. I know what you're saying. He does the one where it's like since Hank Lockwood has kept the light, they haven't won a game at home. Who was the keeper of the light today?

01:29:59

I don't know.

01:30:00

Bring him back. Bring him back. I'm sorry.

01:30:03

Memes same.

01:30:05

I'm in the same boat as you. Well, not fully, but. But loser organizations do loser things.

01:30:11

Yep.

01:30:12

That's just kind of what happens.

01:30:15

You guys want a power rank to win teams in the fcs?

01:30:18

Yes, I would love to.

01:30:19

Okay.

01:30:22

Jets gotta be number one.

01:30:23

Really?

01:30:24

They're dangerous, dude.

01:30:27

I think Dolphins.

01:30:30

No, it's. No. Browns with Jamis.

01:30:33

No, it's in the AFCs.

01:30:34

Oh, just the AFC. Yeah.

01:30:35

So dolphins. Dolphins versus jets. Right now in Miami, the Dolphins are favored by what, two points, three points.

01:30:43

Yeah. Oh, is Vinitarian.

01:30:48

Yeah.

01:30:48

Fuck, yeah. Yeah, he kind of.

01:30:51

I don't know. I. I think. I think.

01:30:54

I think the Jets. I think jets close second. Dolphins.

01:30:59

But how can you. The pages just beat. Yeah, the Jets.

01:31:03

Yeah, but jets got Aaron Rodgers.

01:31:04

Yeah.

01:31:05

Devonte Adams. Now Hasan Reddick.

01:31:07

Memes, you. What do you think?

01:31:08

We don't have a fucking coach.

01:31:10

Yeah, but we're the best team.

01:31:12

We don't have a coach. We have no one to coach these players. We have good players on our team. We don't have a coach.

01:31:17

Do you?

01:31:17

Yes, we do have good players?

01:31:19

Dolphins have good players.

01:31:21

They have coach.

01:31:22

Now, Patriots have. Okay players.

01:31:25

Patriots have bad player. Do the pages have a good coach?

01:31:28

No, Bears don't have good players and a bad coach.

01:31:32

Well, the Patriots have bad players, but they beat a team that has good players.

01:31:38

We don't have a kicker.

01:31:39

You don't have a kicker. That's the one you gotta get rid of.

01:31:43

Kick.

01:31:43

You gotta get rid of that guy. He's bad and he's costing you every game. Hey, listen, win Thursday night.

01:31:52

No, the season's over.

01:31:53

Okay, So I tend to agree with you because I don't think you're going to beat the Texans because that Texans. You know what? Let's do the Texans game. Texans 23, Colts 20. That Texans defensive line is ferocious. Ferocious. Their defense kind of won this game. I mean, the Texans offense continues to be clunky. Their offensive line isn't great. Stefan Diggs got hurt. But. But they're. The Texans are 6 and 2 and it feels like they have yet to play their best game.

01:32:25

Yeah, they. Well, that's the thing is, like, they haven't really played a great game yet.

01:32:29

Right.

01:32:29

Which is really strange. Like, so we don't know if the Texans have that. I. I've just been waiting for the Texans to finally have that great game. But you're playing the Colts, and the Colts play everybody close. No matter how outmatched they are, no matter how injured they are, the Colts are just kind of going to be around at every single game, despite the fact that they get some terrible quarterback play.

01:32:46

Yeah.

01:32:46

So Anthony Richardson in the first half, 2 for 15, 2 for 15 for 81 yards in the first half. Now, to be fair to Anthony Richardson, he had three drops in the first half. And I went back, I watched all three of those drops, and he very easily could have been 5 for 15 for 150 yards.

01:33:07

Okay.

01:33:08

That would have been an awesome stat line.

01:33:09

Yeah.

01:33:09

If we had gotten that.

01:33:10

Yeah.

01:33:10

Because he. He hits the bombs, but besides a couple deep shots that he took, the game plan seemed to be just give Anthony Richardson the ball and then have him run and just hope that he doesn't get hurt somehow when he's running with the ball.

01:33:24

Yeah.

01:33:24

Because he doesn't. He never slides. He runs at people. And at one point he ran so much that he. He took himself out of the game.

01:33:32

That was tough.

01:33:33

I don't think I've ever seen an NFL quarterback say, I need a blow.

01:33:35

And he said it. And he. After. In the post game, he was like, yeah, I Was tired.

01:33:39

Yeah. I just need a blow, Coach.

01:33:42

That's a crazy thing to say.

01:33:43

It's. It's nuts.

01:33:45

Anthony Richardson and we're not going to pick on him. He's. I mean, I guess I still understand the Colts trying to figure it out. Because you took him with the number four pick. I do think Joe Flacco probably wins this game.

01:33:57

Yeah. That's the thing about the Colts. They're constantly one score away.

01:34:01

Right.

01:34:01

With bad quarterback play. If you have average quarterback play, you win these kinds of games.

01:34:06

Yeah. So Anthony Richardson is from Austin Gale. Anthony Richard ranks 222nd in completion rate among the 225 quarterbacks with 250 plus drop backs since the year 2000. So the only three quarterbacks that are below Anthony Richardson are Tim Tebow, Mike McKinnon, McMahon from the Eagles, and then Achilles Smith. That's bad. Ryan Leaf is ahead of him.

01:34:34

Yeah.

01:34:34

It's not Ryan Lindley, Curtis Painter, Troy Smith, jamarcus Russell, Andrew Walter, they're all ahead of him. It's just. I don't know. I don't know if it's like mechanics or what. He's. He's never been accurate, but yeah, I mean, there was drops, I guess. Just keep trying.

01:34:48

Yeah, keep trying.

01:34:50

I guess it's good to see Jonathan Taylor out there.

01:34:52

It depends on what you want to accomplish this year.

01:34:54

I, I think you just have to keep trying because you gotta basically definitively say, all right, this didn't work and we have to move on. But you can't do that if you don't play him, right?

01:35:06

Yeah, yeah.

01:35:08

He has.

01:35:08

He has to learn. He's not going to learn by not playing.

01:35:11

Right. So.

01:35:12

But excuse me, but Flacco. Flacco wins this game.

01:35:19

Flacco wins this game. The Texans are good and they have not played a good game yet.

01:35:25

Also, DeForest Buckner being back for the Colts helps a lot too.

01:35:28

DeForest Buckner definitely helps.

01:35:30

I always forget how huge he is.

01:35:31

Yeah, he's a monster. Monster. He's a monster. Okay, the next game, Lions 52, Titans 14. This was a weird game because it was tied 14 14. The final score is 52 14. The Lions scored 52 points and they had 61 total net yards passing.

01:35:50

Yeah, some crazy, crazy stats out of that game.

01:35:54

That's unfathomable.

01:35:55

It really is, Hank. Can't fathom it.

01:35:57

I cannot fathom it either, Hank.

01:36:00

How?

01:36:01

Think about it.

01:36:01

Did they have 400 rushing yards?

01:36:03

No. They had special teams. Every single time you looked up. The Lions were running down the field with a special teams play. They had a 72 yard kickoff return, a 64 yard punt return, and then a 90 yard punt return for a touchdown. That's a lot of return yards.

01:36:21

I still feel like with 52 points, there's like 250 yards missing. Yeah.

01:36:25

So from that when they had 35 points, they had 130 yards of offense. Yeah, it's crazy. And they had Jared Goffstadt, he had 85 yards passing. So he had 28 yards passing in the first half and he scored 21 points. Look like it's. It's insane. That's the fewest. That's got to be the fewest yards per point in the NFL.

01:36:50

Yeah, they kept on. It was either a awesome return or a Titans turnover. Like the Lions scored the first. Their first score of the game was off of a Mason Rudolph interception. 23 yards. So it's seven nothing. And they've only had to gain 23 yards. Then they did have the Jameer Gibbs run, which was insane. The 70 yard run. He's so fast.

01:37:10

One play, 70 yards.

01:37:11

So that was 70 yards. And then they got a big return and then they only had to go 25 yards for a touchdown. So it just kept on happening where they were just. They'd be going right down the field. Then another interception. 12 yards for a touchdown. So.

01:37:25

Yeah, their first was two plays, 23 yards. Next one play, 70 yards. Next three plays, 25 yards.

01:37:33

Yeah.

01:37:33

Next four plays, 12 yards. Next seven plays, 22 yards.

01:37:37

It was just. Every single time I looked up, there was a kick return that was going for a million yards.

01:37:44

Yeah.

01:37:45

And the Titans are. The Titans, the worst team in the NFL.

01:37:48

Well, the Titans, I respect the fact that they realize like we got a tank. Yeah.

01:37:52

Yeah. Probably Panthers. The Titans are. There's. The Titans have bottomed out. Like the Titans were frisky for a while. Their defense, I mean, I guess you could even say their defense. They're. They. The defense. The. The Titans out gained the Lions by a ton of yards.

01:38:09

The. The Lion. The Titans defense, shockingly wasn't bad in terms of yards given up in this game. And that's just because their offense just gave the other team the ball.

01:38:17

Yeah. But the Titans, it feels like they're bottoming out because they had the Bills game last week where they were same thing. They were up. I know they weren't up in this game, but they were up 10 nothing. Then they lost 34, 10 this game. They're. It's 14 14. They lost 52. 14. The Lions are just an absolute juggernaut right now. I don't know, like, because the Chiefs are undefeated, but the Chiefs aren't playing every Chiefs game. It feels like it's a little bit.

01:38:45

They're playing really good defense.

01:38:46

They're playing great defense. Yeah. But the Chiefs aren't playing like a full complete game. The Lions, it feels like what they've been doing in the last four games has been just out of this world. They actually. Here's a crazy stat. You ready for this?

01:38:58

Yep.

01:38:59

The Lions in the last four games have 172 points, which is more points. In the last four games, the Lions have more points then 14 teams have points all year.

01:39:09

Yeah.

01:39:10

That's how good the Lions have been.

01:39:12

The Cowboys game, the Vikings game. This one. And then what's the other one? I'm forgetting the.

01:39:20

The Seahawks.

01:39:21

Seahawks, that's right. They beat the. Out of Seattle.

01:39:23

Yeah.

01:39:23

Yeah.

01:39:24

They won that game 42, 29. The Lions are just. I don't know how you defend the Lions. How do you. How do you go against the Lions? Yeah.

01:39:31

And this is. No Jameson.

01:39:32

No Jameson.

01:39:33

Jameson today. And they've got one of their other generic ass receiver names that'll step up. Yeah. Tim Patrick.

01:39:39

Yep.

01:39:40

Alan Robinson.

01:39:41

Yep.

01:39:41

Doesn't matter. They just have the generic ass receiver names.

01:39:44

There's. I mean, Jared didn't even have to play the entire fourth quarter.

01:39:48

Yeah, it's.

01:39:49

It's crazy. This was a classic, classic trap spot because they go. They. They were going like awesome game against the Cowboys. Emotional win, lose Aiden Hutchinson, then get up off the mat, beat the Vikings in a back and forth game, play the Titans at home at noon or 1:00 local. And then they have the packers next week. This was the spot where the Titans or the Lions could have looked like shit. And they did the exact opposite and looked like no one could ever beat him.

01:40:17

And Jameer Gibbs looks unreal. He continues to look unreal. He's got six. Is it six games in a row, averaging over five yards per carry.

01:40:26

Yeah.

01:40:26

On at least 10 attempts. And the only other guys to ever do that are Franco Harris, Adrian Peterson, Chris Johnson.

01:40:32

It's crazy. Yeah.

01:40:33

Here's a best start for the Lions since 1956.

01:40:35

A stat from the Detroit Lions PR Today marks the 19th game that David Montgomery and Jameer Gibbs have played together. They're the first running back duo in NFL history to each accumulate at least 1500 scrimmage yards and 15 scrimmage TDs in the tandem's first 20 games together. They're so good.

01:40:57

Yeah. Everything about the offense is good.

01:40:59

They're so good.

01:41:00

They don't have a weakness on offense.

01:41:01

I don't know what to do. I don't know what to do about the Lions. The Lions are a problem.

01:41:05

They're a problem. The only, it's like the only riddle that can be solved is if they play against the Chiefs in the defense.

01:41:13

Do you think they're gonna.

01:41:14

I think the line get a pass.

01:41:15

Rusher in the trade deadline?

01:41:17

I don't know. Because who can you get if you're not Max Crosby? Apparently not on the market anymore for some reason.

01:41:23

I don't know.

01:41:24

I guess because like Mark Davis likes having a good player on his team.

01:41:27

Yeah.

01:41:28

Hasan Reddick.

01:41:29

Hasan Reddick.

01:41:30

Yeah. I don't know who else they can get but on offense they don't have a weakness.

01:41:36

They don't.

01:41:36

They've got a great tight end. They've got two, maybe three really, really good receivers. You would say Amon Ross, probably a great receiver. You've got two awesome running backs. MVP level quarterback, offensive. The best offensive line. Yeah. Maybe in the nfc.

01:41:52

And the one good. I guess the one silver lining for the Titans is that you're trying to trade everyone now. And Calvin Ridley had a good game.

01:42:01

Yeah.

01:42:02

So that was like a. Hey, this guy's still good. Come and take him.

01:42:05

And Christian Kirk got hurt, which is good for Calvin Ridley's trade value.

01:42:09

Yeah. I think this was actually.

01:42:11

Why is that good for.

01:42:12

Because he was the other receiver.

01:42:13

Oh, he was going to get traded. The Jags were gonna get trade him. Okay. That is good. Wow. Hey, like, look at you.

01:42:18

The Titans might have gone into this game just trying to increase Calvin Ridley's trade value as much as possible. If they did, if that was their game plan, this was a great result for the Titans.

01:42:28

Yeah.

01:42:28

And their GM is now doing interviews where he's like encouraging people, listen, stick with us long term. He's telling everyone we are tanking. Please don't hate us, but we're tanking. Just support the long term goal. This was a great game for the Tank.

01:44:14

Okay, afternoon games. Chiefs, Raiders or Sorry Bill. Seahawks. We'll start with Josh Allen did throw an interception. Mario Cooper did slip, but the Bills absolutely dominated the Seahawks.

01:44:27

Things are not going good for the Seahawks. Right?

01:44:29

The Seahawks are the most confusing team in the NFL to me because when they look good and DK Metcalf was out in this game and I, I, he is so important to their offense. But when they look good, they look like he beat anyone. And then in this game they had, it was like yakety sacks at goal line plays where they had the, it was like third and goal in this the botch snap where it ended up being. Or no, I think it was second and goal and they had third and goal from like the 34. Then the next time they went down, they, I think the center tripped Geno Smith on fourth down. So. And then they had guys fighting each other on the sidelines.

01:45:06

Yeah, they were fighting themselves. Yeah, they had to trust themselves to get in between and break it up without taking sides. I feel like the Lions broke them. I mean they did beat the Falcons a couple weeks ago. That was a big win. For the Seahawks. But that Lions loss on Monday night really just up the Seahawks entire season.

01:45:21

Yeah.

01:45:22

And so it was. It was very weird for them. They couldn't get a rhythm going offensively, and then they started fighting each other. The rain was. It was the fattest rain I've ever seen. It was some fat ass, really fat rain. And the Bills just played really good, clean football.

01:45:35

Yeah. And I. The Bills are just good. Like, I don't know why. I know the Ravens have been flashy because they've been killing it. And they beat the Bills. The Chiefs are undefeated. What? Like the Bills all of a sudden have, like. I know Stefan Diggs. They get. They trade him. But with the way the Keon Coleman's playing, Shakir's a really good receiver. Amari Cooper now there. Kincaid. James Cook.

01:46:00

James Cook.

01:46:01

They have a ton of weapons. Yeah.

01:46:02

James Cook is awesome.

01:46:03

Yeah.

01:46:04

He's playing really well. And they just need to remember to run the football, that it's okay to run the football.

01:46:07

Yeah. We also had one of the coolest Josh Allen plays where he punted a fumble for a first down.

01:46:13

He dropped it, kicked it, fumble recovered.

01:46:16

It was. It was incredible.

01:46:17

It's a. It's a very good thing to do in a football game.

01:46:19

Yeah.

01:46:20

Write that down. That is a loophole in the rulebook.

01:46:22

Yeah. But I. The Bills are just a good team. They have as many wins as the rest of the AFC east combined.

01:46:27

6 and 2.

01:46:28

3.

01:46:28

2. Should we congratulate the Bills?

01:46:30

Yeah, I'd say the Bills have the afc.

01:46:32

Congratulations, Buffalo Bills. For.

01:46:33

They have won the AFC East. I think that's pretty much wrapped up. They look. I. I mean, the Bills like, their run defense, they completely shut down the Seahawks running game. Seahawks running games sucked today. They were just. It felt like they were in the backfield the entire game. I. The Bills are just really good. Max even said it. He was like, why don't we talk about the Bills being like true super bowl contenders? I think we do, but I think he was talking about more like the general public.

01:47:00

Yeah.

01:47:01

I think it's because it was. It was the back to back. Ravens. Texans. Yeah.

01:47:05

So the. The Ravens, they look very, very bad.

01:47:08

Yeah.

01:47:09

And that felt like just a style, like the two styles. That didn't seem like a fluke. It seems like the. The Ravens are built to just shit pump The Buffalo Bills.

01:47:19

Yeah.

01:47:19

And then with the Texans, that was Josh Allen's worst game, I think, ever.

01:47:23

Yeah.

01:47:23

Like one of the worst completion percentages, I think, of all time that he had and then since then, they. They beaten two bad teams and we don't know what the Seahawks are.

01:47:34

Yeah, they've. And they. It. Well, they've. They've all the games that they should win. They've won pretty handily. And yeah, we don't know what the Seahawks are. Seahawks are just confusing. I do not know what to make of the Seahawks week to week. No.

01:47:46

And then they've got the Dolphins and then at Indy and then after that, I'm looking Forward to the 17th.

01:47:52

Yeah.

01:47:53

Against the Chiefs.

01:47:53

Yeah. That's gonna be a great game.

01:47:55

Yeah.

01:47:56

Flex that Sunday night.

01:47:57

I agree.

01:47:58

Give us. Give that to us on Sunday night. But yeah, the Bills are great. And I don't know what the Seahawks. I can't make. Anytime you have a defense fighting each other, it feels like bad vibes.

01:48:08

Tough look for the. For the twelves today. Yeah, very tough look because there were a ton of Bills fans there. McDermott after the game was like, I've never seen Seattle like that before. Apparently Buffalo made the trip. Got a protective trout.

01:48:22

Bills, Lions, super bowl in New Orleans. Oh, my God, we need it.

01:48:27

Oh, my God, that would be incredible.

01:48:31

I'm gonna be drunk for months.

01:48:33

That would be the. That would be the biggest. That would be such a fun party scene with those two fan bases, knowing that one of those two fan bases is going to get a Super Bowl.

01:48:43

What's the spread?

01:48:46

Lions minus three and a half.

01:48:49

I think that. I think it starts out at three and a half. The Sharps take up to five.

01:48:53

But think about the Bills. They would have to have beaten the Chiefs and the. Probably the Ravens to get there. So they would have, like. People would be like, really hyping them up. Yeah.

01:49:04

Probably three with the lines. Yeah. Lines would probably be looked at as. Okay, you won the nfc. Yeah. I think. I think it's closing that now.

01:49:12

Yeah. Three and a half. Okay. Chiefs 27, Raiders 20. We should mention it was National Tight End Day. So Travis Kelsey, of course, scored this Sunday. Yeah. This Sunday. Scored his first touchdown season. I'm just mad because I didn't just bet every tight end to score a touchdown because every tight end scored a touchdown, basically.

01:49:35

Can I tell you something?

01:49:36

Yeah.

01:49:37

I don't love National Tight End Day.

01:49:38

I do. If it could make us money next year.

01:49:40

Yeah. If we had capitalized on.

01:49:41

Yeah.

01:49:41

Nice.

01:49:42

Yeah. If we can make a note for National Tight End Day next year.

01:49:47

I feel like recently, Titans, they get their fair share of the publicity. Right.

01:49:51

But they're making a lot of fanfare about how Tight ends don't make fan unfair.

01:49:56

Yeah.

01:49:56

Just.

01:49:56

And meanwhile one of them is dating the most famous person in the world.

01:50:00

True.

01:50:01

They. But they get no love.

01:50:03

It's. They all scored though.

01:50:05

Let's do a.

01:50:06

We should have bet it at. That's. That's the only thing I'm upset about is like I didn't know that they were going to actually all play like the most incredible games in national tight end day.

01:50:16

Let's do a national blocking tight ends day. I like the guys that are like real high up in the 80s. Numbers. Numbers 88 and 89 that just go out there and they get called out maybe once a series.

01:50:26

Mercedes Lewis.

01:50:27

Yeah. Mercedes Lewis. Just like the real chunky guys. Real heavy legs.

01:50:31

Yeah.

01:50:31

Don't run very fast. Let's celebrate those guys.

01:50:33

Yeah. But they all went off. And Travis Kelsey scored his first touchdown of the season. This is.

01:50:39

And he looked good today too.

01:50:40

Yeah, he did. He looked good. The Chiefs defense won this game. The game basically came down to. It was a seven point game in the half. And then the Raiders started on the Chiefs 28, started to drive on the Chiefs 28, started to Drive on the Chiefs 3. And they only got three points out of it. That was the game. And the one they started on the 28th, they got a field goal. The one they started on the three. They got stonewalled four straight plays. And then Patrick Mahomes went on a 19 play, 90 yard drive. That's like a. That's like an army offense.

01:51:16

Yeah.

01:51:16

19 play, 90 yard drive. The Raiders got stopped at fourth and goal on the three yard line or four yard line with 327 in the third quarter. They didn't get the ball back till 8:44 in the fourth.

01:51:32

Was it the Raiders or was it the Titans that had that offensive stand out? It was at the goal line and they ran like three plays out of shotgun. Like three running plays, I think at a shotgun.

01:51:41

I don't know if.

01:51:43

I think that might have been the Titans. But the similar thing with the Raiders just like not being able to get it in there.

01:51:48

They can't run the ball. They average 1.6 yards per carry today.

01:51:51

Would Madison have like 14 carries for 15 yards? Yeah, it was bad scene if you're a Raiders fan.

01:51:56

Yeah.

01:51:57

And it was. It was the Kermit the Frog revenge game for the Chiefs.

01:52:00

It was. But they didn't cover.

01:52:01

They remember that.

01:52:02

The back door.

01:52:03

Yeah.

01:52:04

So it didn't count for that. But yeah, the Chiefs defense is awesome. I don't like In Patrick Rose through another interception. I don't think it matters. He just. He just needs to like Patrick Mahomes with this defense. He needs to just have like three or four good drives a game and extend plays like he does. And they did ball control. They just, they held the ball and they suffocated the Raiders. And yeah, their defense is so. So for real.

01:52:31

Are Chiefs fans concerned at all though?

01:52:33

I don't think so.

01:52:34

About Mahomes just not playing as dominant as he's played in the past.

01:52:38

Well, I think they probably should trade for another weapon, actually. Seth Walder said on Twitt. I think he does analytics for espn. He said the Chiefs should call the jets about devonte Adams, which actually would be an interesting trade.

01:52:51

Flip him.

01:52:52

Do you think devonte Adams is on the trade market?

01:52:55

Nope.

01:52:56

Why not?

01:52:57

He's a jet jet for three more years.

01:53:00

Oh, okay.

01:53:02

Should they call?

01:53:03

They should call. Why wouldn't you quote. Why wouldn't you take a call?

01:53:07

Make the jets say yes.

01:53:10

Yeah, because the Raiders didn't want to trade him to the Chiefs. But what if the jets trade him to the Chiefs? Who cares? That would be such a funny thing. I don't know. That would be very funny.

01:53:20

It would be very play spoiler memes spoil the Raiders. No.

01:53:28

This probably isn't the most shocking thing I'm about to say. We do like him. But Antonio Pierce failed the down 14 score late. 2 point conversion tests checks out. Yeah. I never expected. Do we ask him? We might have asked him.

01:53:42

I don't know if we did. But he did. He passed the. Don't kick a field goal when you're. When you're trailing by like nine points at the one yard line. That was nice.

01:53:50

Yeah. Yeah. Which he failed last week. Yeah. Okay. Next up, Bo Nicks. Bo Nicks. Broncos 28, Panthers 14. Bo Nicks had an awesome game. National tight end day. Adam Troutman had his career high and in the first half and a sick TD catch. And yeah, the Broncos. This is what playing the Panthers is like. It's fun.

01:54:12

It's really fun.

01:54:12

It's really, really fun.

01:54:13

21 points in the second quarter. Bryce Young didn't look as bad as he has looked as bad. He wasn't good today.

01:54:23

Yeah, I was going to say.

01:54:25

Let's say it this way. Do you think Bryce Young his. His trade value increased, decreased or stayed the same after today?

01:54:33

I think this is deacre.

01:54:35

It's. It's nothing.

01:54:36

He's bad. The Panthers should have benched him the second he finished that first drive for a touchdown.

01:54:42

Yeah.

01:54:42

They went up 7. Nothing. Because that was it. That was the peak. You should have gotten out right then. That was. That was basically, you're hot on the blackjack table. Walk away a winner. Like, that was it right there.

01:54:53

You gotta do a pump and dump with Bryce Young.

01:54:55

Yeah.

01:54:55

You gotta. You gotta script out some sick plays for him right off the bat. And then after he gets done with it, be like, okay, we can't get you hurt.

01:55:02

Yeah.

01:55:02

Come to the sidelines. Let another team take you.

01:55:05

I mean, I do think the Broncos are. I mean, their defense is very good, and if Bo Nicks can play with some confidence, you got something there.

01:55:12

Would you say the Broncos are a very quiet five and three?

01:55:15

Yeah, I would say.

01:55:15

So why are they such a quiet five and three?

01:55:18

I think they're a quiet five and three. Because we've seen. Bonix is. His bad has been really bad.

01:55:26

I think it's because two things. The loss to the Steelers in week two where they scored six points, that was a tough game to watch.

01:55:33

Yep.

01:55:34

That was really tough. And then. Yeah, besides that, I guess they beat the Jets 10 to 9.

01:55:40

Yeah, that was a bad.

01:55:41

That was just a bad game to watch because it was that weird storm in New Jersey.

01:55:45

Yeah. And their win against the Bucks was kind of. You know, that was an early game that was kind of lost in the shuffle, so. Yeah. And people didn't think the Broncos were good then, but now they're. They're five and three. This is the best Broncos been in a while.

01:55:59

They probably. They probably started eating uncrustables right before that Bucks game.

01:56:02

Yeah. Which, by the way, we have a entire refrigerator full of, like, 700 uncrustables. Right. 800. 800. We're ready to go this week.

01:56:11

So we're trying to beat the Broncos. Right. That's the goal.

01:56:14

But we're not doing it. In a way. I still have to send out the email to the office being like, don't. It's not a competition.

01:56:20

10 a day, but eat as.

01:56:22

Eat as many uncrustables as you want. It's not a competition. Just do it naturally. How do I send that email? Or should I not even send an email and just see people? Because people will just generally just go and grab them. Yeah, that's the way we do it.

01:56:36

Yeah. Just don't make a big deal out of beating the Broncos. We want to see naturally where we stack up.

01:56:41

Yeah, I think that's fair. Like, I'm probably gonna have, like, four or five a day, maybe. Yeah.

01:56:47

I was trying to do math. I feel like we're gonna break it. I think those uncrustables are gonna be gone by Wednesday.

01:56:54

I will personally eat three a day.

01:56:57

Really?

01:57:01

We'll beat it by the end of the week for sure.

01:57:03

Okay.

01:57:03

Yeah, I think we can do that.

01:57:04

I like that. What means you're saying yes. Say dominate it.

01:57:10

Some people are gonna eat, like, seven to ten.

01:57:12

Yeah.

01:57:12

No, we'll crush it.

01:57:13

You two being two of them.

01:57:15

What?

01:57:15

I just said I'm gonna eat three.

01:57:16

Exactly. I said I was gonna eat four or five.

01:57:18

Exactly.

01:57:21

Did J.C. horn try to fight Sean Payton after the game? Can you find that clip? I saw it going around. I didn't. I wasn't able to watch it because I saw it after we started. I'm pretty sure J.C. horn tried to fight Sean Payton for doing a fake field goal up 14 or 21.

01:57:36

He ran up to him. Yeah. When the game ended in the middle of the field.

01:57:40

Yeah. And was like, what the fuck? I mean, the Panthers are just so sad. It's. It's. It's. It's a tough watch. It's a tough, tough watch. I don't really know what. What you do. All right, here it is. Wait. Sean Payton is definitely not someone that gives a fuck about, like, good sportsmanship.

01:57:59

No. Actively. I'd say the contrary.

01:58:02

Yeah. I don't think he's okay. He ran up on him. Yeah.

01:58:15

I think he just gave. That's giving him a piece of your mind.

01:58:17

It's just shop talk. Yeah. Piece of his mind just being upset. Trick play on fourth and two. Well up 287 in the fourth quarter. Sean Payton's trying some stuff out. Yeah.

01:58:25

You gotta. You gotta get a look at it. You gotta see what works.

01:58:28

All right, last up. Or we'll talk about Sunday Night Football as well. Chargers 26, Saints 8. Justin Herbert is really good and so is lad. McConkey.

01:58:37

Yeah. Lad football.

01:58:38

Lad Saints might be the worst team in the league.

01:58:41

They're the Panthers. Panthers. You forget about the Panthers?

01:58:46

So take out the Panthers. Who's the second?

01:58:47

Okay, so you got the Titans.

01:58:49

Titans.

01:58:49

You got the Raiders.

01:58:51

Raiders.

01:58:51

Jets.

01:58:52

The frustrating thing about the Raiders is they're so. Gardner Minshew knows where the ball should go or he knows where he should run, when he should take off and run, but he's just, like, not fast enough to actually get there.

01:59:04

Yeah.

01:59:04

And he doesn't have the arm strength to actually get the ball there.

01:59:06

Right, Right.

01:59:08

But I don't think that The Raiders are as bad as the Titans.

01:59:11

I guess the Saints will be better when Derek Carr comes back because they bench Spencer Rattler today for Jay Kaner, which. Yeah, I mean, it's. It's a bad scene.

01:59:20

And have you seen Jake Hayner's, like, press photos that he did this year?

01:59:23

Yeah.

01:59:24

They are zesty. They are so funny.

01:59:26

Yeah. Zesty.

01:59:27

They're the funniest press photos of all time.

01:59:29

Yeah. Justin Herbert was a beast today, though. He's really fucking good. And hey, listen, guys. Chargers, they win next week, might be making some. Some ground. I really wish we had beaten the Cardinals for that super bowl future. I also wanted to do something real quick. Now, this is. I'm going to say I understand, like, the content business. I don't want to copy anyone, but I did see this new segment on Inside the NFL called Football Guy of the Week, and I wanted to give Football guy of the Week to Bradley Boseman.

01:59:58

Yes.

01:59:59

For protecting Justin Herbert after Nathaniel shepherd basically tried to rip his leg off.

02:00:06

Yeah. So Nathaniel Shepard did, like, the Gator role with Justin Herbert's leg, tried to shatter his ankle, his knee, and then Bozeman saw it happen, and he came in and just wiped them out, which was awesome. They shouldn't have penalized him for that.

02:00:18

Yeah.

02:00:18

And then after they asked him about it, he said, it's probably one of the dirtier plays I've ever seen. And then he said, protect your quarterback no matter what.

02:00:25

Football guy of the week.

02:00:26

Football guy of the week.

02:00:27

And that's you can credit to inside the NFL.

02:00:29

You know that. That Harbaugh went up to him after the game, was like, protect your quarterback no matter what.

02:00:33

Yeah.

02:00:34

He's like, yeah, you're absolutely right, Coach.

02:00:35

I love you. Yeah. Yeah. Herbert. Yeah. Yeah. Harbaugh definitely gave him a game ball and probably, like, smacked him around a little.

02:00:42

I'll pay your fine.

02:00:43

That was one of the dirtiest plays. I don't know what the fuck that guy was doing. He almost, like, blacked out and forgot that we were in the year 2024 and this wasn't. And then watch just an insane. Insane. Just trying to twist Justin Herbert's leg. Yeah. So Bradley Bozeman, first ever football guy of the week. You guys like that?

02:01:01

The Saints are dirty. They're a dirty team.

02:01:04

Yeah, they are. They always got the. They always got it in, you know.

02:01:07

Like, I got the history by football guy, I mean, like, he's like a football player.

02:01:10

No, he's a football guy of the week.

02:01:12

Football guy. It's like a guy that.

02:01:13

He is a player. Yeah, yeah.

02:01:14

But no, football. He's a guy that just text your quarterback. All he thinks about is football.

02:01:18

Yeah. Protect your quarterback no matter what.

02:01:19

Interesting.

02:01:21

Do you get it? Yeah. I don't think you get it.

02:01:23

Hank doesn't get it.

02:01:24

I mean, I feel like everyone's there, watch all players, watch inside.

02:01:28

You don't get it.

02:01:29

They do a better job explaining than we do.

02:01:31

All right, last up, Sunday Night Football, the Cowboys, they just did the same thing where they were. They were actually playing. Okay. In the first half. Niners come out and beat the shit out of them. And then the Cowboys make the game look like it's more competitive than it was by only losing by six.

02:01:51

Yeah, some nice plays by the 49ers defense. They had a sick interception of Dak. They almost got another one at the very end of the game, too.

02:01:58

Dak had some. Dak had that one interception where he was basically telegraphing it to a double covered CD lamb along the sideline.

02:02:05

Yeah.

02:02:05

Was bad. What. What was this? Trayvon Diggs did a Deez Nuts joke to reporters.

02:02:11

Yeah, this is great.

02:02:12

After the game.

02:02:13

This was after the game. There. There was a. This reporter tweeted something. It was like, what. What is Trayvon Diggs doing on this play? And he just went nuclear on him.

02:02:25

Oh, hell yes.

02:02:26

And, yeah, that whole play, that's what.

02:02:30

You took from that. You don't know football. You can't do nothing that I do. You can't go out there and do nothing. Stay in your lane, buddy. Stop playing me, bro.

02:02:37

Just asking the question, Trayvon.

02:02:39

I mean, I'm happy to have you answer the question.

02:02:48

We can talk about it more.

02:02:51

What were you doing then?

02:02:54

Yeah, right at the end, he says, we can talk about these nuts.

02:02:56

Oh, Jerry's gonna have that guy fired.

02:02:58

Yeah.

02:02:59

Or try to.

02:03:00

Yeah. Yeah. It doesn't feel good. Cowboys are. Doesn't feel like good vibes in Dallas right now.

02:03:06

It doesn't. But this. This is great vibes for the Niners.

02:03:09

Yeah.

02:03:10

And Ricky Pearsall got the ball. Was fast out there. That was cool to see.

02:03:14

Yeah.

02:03:14

Good for him.

02:03:15

And their backup running back, Isaac Garendo was awesome in Kittle. Yeah, Kittle showed up for national tight end days. 128 yards and a touchdown. So Niners back or do they play the Cowboys?

02:03:26

I. I think the Niners might be back.

02:03:28

Dak is just.

02:03:29

Purdy looked good, too. Purdy was moving around out there. He's got. He had Debo back, which is very Helpful. So having Debo and Kittle playing at the same time like the 49er, I don't think there's anything broken about the 49ers besides the fact that they have a lot of players that aren't playing for them.

02:03:44

Yeah.

02:03:45

And when they get those guys healthy, I still think that they're a good team. They're not, I guess, dominant as they've been in the past when they have Christian McCaffrey, but they're still a very. I'd say they're a good football team.

02:03:56

Yes. Even without them and the Cowboys building their entire offense out of just Dak and CD Lamb feels like it's not built for long term success.

02:04:06

Did they give the ball to Cook at all?

02:04:08

Did Dalvin get the ball? Six carries for guess the yards.

02:04:11

Six carries, 11 yards, 12. 12 yards, 12 yards. He still got it. Still got that burst.

02:04:18

Yeah. But when you look at like who Dak throws the ball to, CD had 13 catches, 17 targets, and then the rest of the team basically had 20. The rest of the team had 20 targets. He had 17. Does it feels not sustainable.

02:04:37

I'm watching this, this Ricky Pearsall, it was an end around inside handoff. He's going to be fun to watch.

02:04:44

Yeah.

02:04:45

We were saying he should be allowed to do the simulated guns.

02:04:48

Yes. If you're the only guy.

02:04:49

If you got your. Maybe Tank Dell.

02:04:51

Maybe Tank Dell.

02:04:52

Yeah. You should be allowed to do it.

02:04:53

Yeah. Yeah, absolutely. And Brian Robinson.

02:04:56

Brian Robinson should be allowed to do it. Yep.

02:04:58

Yeah. Okay. Before we do who's back of the week, I got a rollback question for you guys. Rho b a c k.com promo code take 20 off your first purchase. Qzips, polos, hoodies, joggers, shorts. Roback.com promo code take are the Yankees cooked? Talk a little World Series.

02:05:15

Let's talk. I think Aaron Judge not a true Yankee.

02:05:18

Aaron Judge.

02:05:19

Aaron Boone a true Yankee.

02:05:20

No, no. But Aaron Judge loser.

02:05:23

I think he, he was a true Yankee player. But can you. He's kind of lost that as a manager.

02:05:30

Yeah. The game one of the World Series was one of the best baseball games ever.

02:05:35

Yeah, it was.

02:05:35

It was so exciting. Back and forth. Freddie Freeman's grand slam walk off home run was one of the coolest moments him. He just knew the second it hit his bat that it was gone.

02:05:47

Yeah.

02:05:47

Has to be the coolest feeling of all time.

02:05:49

You watch that and you think that almost every dude that is, that is watching that baseball game has pretended to be that person in that moment. When they were young.

02:05:57

Yeah. And the Yankees are just like, Aaron Judge is a regular season merchant. All he does is hit home runs. The regular season doesn't show up in the playoffs. Like, that's. And if there's one fan base that will not tolerate that, it's the New York Yankees.

02:06:13

Yeah.

02:06:13

Does not have his pinstripes.

02:06:15

And having a guy like Juan Soto come in and be the only one that's. That's hitting dingers.

02:06:19

Who's Giancarlo?

02:06:20

Didn't Juan Soto.

02:06:21

Giancarlo hit one on game one?

02:06:23

I'm every game.

02:06:24

Yeah. But Giancarlo, he hit one to the. To the moon. And John Carlos been hitting a lot of dingers.

02:06:27

But I'm saying, having a guy like Soto.

02:06:29

Yeah.

02:06:29

Parachute in.

02:06:30

Yeah.

02:06:31

And then be clutch, as in the World Series.

02:06:33

Yeah.

02:06:34

And Judge, who's been there and been a great player for the Yankees for a long time, have him still not be able to do anything in that big of a moment. That's. It makes it more glaring. He makes it more obvious.

02:06:44

And he's like. And he's just. It feels like. I mean, it's because he's batting third. I don't know why they don't drop a Max. Why don't they drop him?

02:06:52

Well, then you really kill his confidence.

02:06:54

But every big moment in the first two games, Aaron Judge has come up and he's been a zero.

02:07:01

But you need it like the Yankees need Aaron Judge to give you something. If you're going like, if.

02:07:07

But every time he comes up, you're like, damn, I wish this was Giancarlo. If you're a Yankee fan. Yeah.

02:07:12

I mean, you could drop him. The four. That would be fine. That would be fine.

02:07:15

But I don't. I don't like this whole. Don't. You're going to kill his confidence if you make him hit in a different place in the lineup. Why? Because then it's like, okay, then you weren't that confident to begin with.

02:07:25

If baseball is such a.

02:07:26

Like baseball.

02:07:27

Such a mental game, like, everyone. Like, when you're in a slump, you are very fragile, and you just gotta.

02:07:33

You. Trey Turner, you gotta congratulate him.

02:07:36

You gotta hit your way out of it. Like, there's nothing. There's nothing you can really do other than just, like, try and hit your way out of it.

02:07:42

But what's. What's more important, having having Judge, like, be, well, mentally or putting him further back in the lineup so he's not doing as much damage to you by having him Hit sooner in the order. It's the World Series.

02:07:54

Yeah, but. But you're. Are you just gonna punt? Like potentially your best player, but maybe.

02:08:00

He wakes him up or.

02:08:02

It should be potentially your best player. It's the World Series. Is your best player or not? He's playing like shit.

02:08:06

But baseball is so different. Like, you can be the best player in the world and be so. And be playing poorly. Like you. You just gotta, like.

02:08:16

I feel like playoff averages are pretty good representations of. Of your playoff performance. It's not like a fluke.

02:08:23

No, he's been bad. He's not having a wild series.

02:08:26

I know.

02:08:27

I. He's been bad all playoffs.

02:08:29

I don't disagree with that. I'm just saying, like, that's the only reason why I wouldn't do that.

02:08:36

I love our good friend Tommy Smokes. He's gone. He's gone back to the dark side. He's trying to be positive all year. And I don't know if you guys have seen, but he's gone back to the dark side. And his. His tweets are very funny because he's just. He's ruthless about the Yankees. He was calling. Let me. Let me find it. That game falls on Aaron Judge in his pathetic 9th inning at bat. Volpe2 Soto showed up and nobody else. It's a little too late. Just not a serious team, I guess. At least we're heading back to the Bronx. Oh, wait, now. What was the one. He had one with Carlos? Did he delete it? He called him a fat pig.

02:09:15

He's.

02:09:16

He's like. Just basically like, he's not ready for this moment. He's a fat pig. They're just. Yankee fans are brutal. Then you had the. The scene at Billy's. Right. The bar in the Bronx where they were cheering when Shohei got hurt. I have no problem with that.

02:09:33

Yeah.

02:09:34

At a bar.

02:09:34

If it was.

02:09:35

If it's.

02:09:35

If it's a crowd they paid tickets to go to, it's one thing. But at a Yankee bar in the Bronx.

02:09:41

And you're also so desperate for anything. Like maybe don't cheer, but, you know, they're all happy. Like, that's just how fandom works.

02:09:50

Yeah, but it's all. You can think that and also think that's beneath the Yankees.

02:09:55

No, I think they're desperate. I think they're in a. Desperate.

02:09:57

Yeah, but being desperate is beneath the Yankees.

02:10:00

Yeah.

02:10:00

I got tremendous joy out of the fact that Game one Aaron Boone made like, you know, it's the players, but the manager basically cost him. The game. And. And game two, by putting someone in who hasn't played meaningful baseball in a month. And then game two, he just did the same thing, but with a batter.

02:10:19

Yeah. Yeah.

02:10:20

It was. It was insane how he let him get himself in that spot two games in a row.

02:10:24

Yeah. Game one, when he. When he put on. Put in Cortez, it was just like, what are you doing, dude? Two pitches.

02:10:32

He's like. He's been pitching good.

02:10:34

It's. Here's the. Here's the bottom line. The Dodgers are just so fucking good. They're so goddamn good. Their bullpen's insane. Their. Their plate discipline is insane. Like, if they don't swing, it's. It's. It's going to be a ball. I. The game one ump was horrendous, but they're just. They're just a wagon. Like, you can't make a single mistake with the Dodgers. And as bad as Aaron Boone's been and Aaron Judge has been, I don't know. I don't know who's beating the Dodgers right now. Right.

02:11:03

Yeah. I mean, Ohtani is gonna be a big factor.

02:11:06

Yeah. But I still think they'll probably beat him. I don't know. Tommy. Tommy Edmond. Guy just makes big, gets big hits. They just got. They just got dudes everywhere.

Hank, my who's Back of the Week is shorts.

02:12:26

Oh, you seriously don't have a single who's Back of the Week?

02:12:29

I was gonna talk about baseball. I also. I mean, I. We just saw a commercial for Krispy Kreme. McDonald's collab.

02:12:36

Yeah.

02:12:37

Which has had my head in a pretzel for the last hour with this.

02:12:40

Who's Back?

02:12:40

The Buns or donuts?

02:12:42

I don't know. It looks. I. I was blown. It's like the. You know, the Avengers and the Justice League getting together.

02:12:48

Yeah.

02:12:48

Yeah. It's pretty incredible. Looks delicious.

02:12:50

It's.

02:12:50

That's one of those things that people always talk about, like, oh, they get this burger. It's got donuts as the buns, and it's usually at a place that just does Instagrammable brunches. Like, they make their dishes so that you can take pictures of them, not so you can eat them. I've. I've had some bad experience. Like, not bad, but I don't think that it's. I would rather have a hamburger and then a donut on the side, but I will try this.

02:13:10

Duke's back, Hank.

02:13:12

Oh, what happened with Duke?

02:13:13

They beat Arizona State by 50 in a scrimmage.

02:13:18

Scrimmage. Arizona says bad.

02:13:22

Yeah. Duping my 50.

02:13:24

Okay. Okay.

02:13:25

How'd Cooper look?

02:13:27

I don't know.

02:13:28

This was also a scrimmage, but they won 103 to 47.

02:13:33

Okay. That. They might be back.

02:13:35

That's a. That's insane.

02:13:37

Yeah, they might be back. God damn it. They might be back. This is gonna piss me off.

02:13:44

I'm not gonna go back to being like, I'm. I can't. I can't fake it. I feel like I've made my. My claims pretty. Pretty steadfast with Duke. Like, I'm not going to go back and hop all the way back on the bandwagon this year. I'll just say it.

02:13:59

You're not excited about this, but.

02:14:01

No, always root for them. But, like, I'm not gonna. I'm not gonna be beating the drum for. For Duke basketball, but. But I will root for them more than I root for anyone else.

02:14:12

Okay, that's fair.

02:14:13

That's fair. Yeah, that's fair.

02:14:15

Very fair. Hank.

02:14:17

Pft. Who's your. Who's back?

02:14:18

My who's Back of the week is. Pop Punk is playing in New Haven.

02:14:22

Oh, hell yeah.

02:14:23

On Friday night. So I hope the World Series will be over. By then, I think that's when game six would be. Right.

02:14:29

Yeah.

02:14:29

There's the night of game six. I think some people from the New York office are gonna go out. We're gonna take a bus from New York, but it should be a fun time. We're playing Toad's Place, which is one of those awesome venues that we. Yeah, it's cool.

02:14:41

You playing Friday night.

02:14:42

Friday.

02:14:42

Friday night. Friday.

02:14:43

Friday night out there.

02:14:44

Nice.

02:14:44

And you sit backstage at that spot and you see, like, the Beatles on the wall. You see, like, the Rolling Stones. It's a very, very cool place. So very excited to go.

02:14:54

Where you're gonna get pizza from.

02:14:55

So we had pizzas from two places last time. What is Rosie's one of them?

02:14:59

Rosie's? Sally's.

02:15:00

Yeah.

02:15:00

Frank Pepe's.

02:15:01

Okay, so we had. I think last time we had Sally's and Frank Pepe's. And am I allowed to say, like, both, or do you have to pick one?

02:15:08

No, of course. I mean, they're both fantastic.

02:15:11

They're awesome. Awesome. Yeah, they're awesome. So I'll be eating a load of pizza, but, yeah, it should be fun. I think we got tickets on sale now, and we're doing a costume contest because it's the night after Halloween. 500 prize to the best costume, and I'm going to match 500 of my own cash so you can win a thousand bucks. Best costume?

02:15:29

Hell, yes.

02:15:30

What are you gonna be?

02:15:31

I can't tell you that.

02:15:34

If you have to ask, you can't afford it.

02:15:35

I'm gonna go as Jaden.

02:15:38

Be careful. Be careful.

02:15:39

Get problematic.

02:15:42

My. My who's back? My who's back is the ufc, because did you guys see that guy who got his jaw wrenched harder than anyone's ever gotten their jaw wrench? Yeah, that was crazy. Hamzat Kamaev did that to Whitaker, I want to say. And he basically just shattered his jaw with a choke out. And I don't really understand how it happened. He tapped so quick and he, like, they showed a picture the next day. His jaw is just completely.

02:16:14

Did you see that. That video of. I think it was at the weigh in, there was a guy from, I want to say Kazakhstan that just showed up and got on the mic to ask a question. He's like, I am undefeated fighter from Kazakhstan. I'm five zero, Dana White. Please give me an opportunity to fight on short notice. I will fight anyone. 1. And then Dana, like, sized him up and was like, what weight class are you? And he was like, I think he said, Lightweight. And he's like, okay, I'll give you a fight.

02:16:38

Holy.

02:16:38

Saw him? Yeah. Just got him up on stage. It was like, you look like you can fight. The guy had cauliflower. Cauliflower ears. So Dana just looked at that was like. Yeah, it. If you win a fight, then I'll give you an actual fight.

02:16:50

Oh, man. That's incredible.

02:16:52

Pretty cool.

02:16:52

Yeah.

02:16:53

I'm rooting for that guy, whatever his name is.

02:16:55

All right. We got anything else? I've moved on. Not actually. I'm not. I have not moved on.

02:17:05

You've moved on for tonight. Tomorrow probably doesn't get much better.

02:17:09

No. I'm gonna wake up tomorrow just so.

02:17:11

Mad because also game, especially game like that, you are gonna. It's gonna get brought up to you when you don't want it to.

02:17:18

Oh, yeah.

02:17:18

The next week.

02:17:19

Oh, yeah. Oh, it's gonna be. Yeah.

02:17:22

Especially in this all. There's nothing worse coming. Coming into the office after bad loss. It's like every person I know. Like you just lost a family member.

02:17:30

I know.

02:17:32

Don't say I know like that, Hank.

02:17:34

What loss were you thinking, Hank? When does that happen to you?

02:17:40

Bruins last year against the Panthers.

02:17:46

You're an Hank. I love you.

02:17:49

All right. Good show, boys. Numbers 19, 5, 11 memes.

02:17:57

You want it?

02:18:00

Pass three.

02:18:02

I was giving it to you. I'll go 99. All right. I like it.

02:18:16
