Speaker 2 (01:35):
Me.
Speaker 1 (01:35):
So our lead this hour is from you know what,
the championship games are now set in the NFL's kind
of a big deal in our world, slightly slightly a
big deal. And our lead is from the most hyped
game of the divisional round of the playoffs. I will
tell you we're supposed to have another octagon an hour two.
(01:57):
I'm hearing rumors that one of the guys gonna flake,
and if that happens, that person's dead to me. But
we'll find out. That'll be an hour or two. There's
rumors in the hallways here that one of the combatants
is gonna fight. But our lead this hour is from Buffalo.
Here we go, Buffalo. There was snow, although there was
more snow in the Eagles game than there was in
(02:19):
the Bills game. But the Vision round of the playoffs
Lamar Jackson trying to kill some demons. Playoff, Lamar trying
to end all that, at least for the week. Raven's
traveling three hundred and sixty two miles as the crow
flies or in this case, the Blackbird, the poet the
Raven into western New York for a date to wrangle
(02:42):
with Josh Allen and the Bills. The winner gets a
trip to Cansau City to eat great barbecue, amazing chicken
fingers over there at the Landing and Liberty and of
course the Ben Mathers chicken fingers and just have a
great time. So if you didn't watch the game, why
the hell not? What else were you doing? I don't
want to know. Maybe you missed it. So Josh Allen
(03:02):
did not have a gotty stat line. He wasn't gotty,
but he did have two rushing touchdowns and the Buffalo
defense forcing not one, not two, but three turnovers and
a little bit of a drop ski there at the end.
More on that in a minute. For the Baltimore football team,
the Bills advanced to the AFC Championship Game, a heart
(03:26):
pounding twenty seven to twenty five victory over the beleaguer
Baltimore football team in the Divisional round on a cold
Sunday night, the Bill's hung on as a wide open,
wide open Mark Andrews, he had it right there, two
point conversion, two point conversion passed from Lamar Jackson, ball
(03:52):
bounced off his chest, right off his chest with a
minute thirty three left. Now the raven fan will say, Hey,
that's the end of the deal right there. That is it.
That is we fed up right there, and that's all
the Bills fanis said. Well, even if he had gotten that,
the Bills had a minute thirty three, all they needed
(04:12):
was a field goal to go down and win that game.
Now Jackson hadn't connected moments earlier on a pass played
to Isaiah, likely a sliding pass play a twenty four
yard touchdown. There, the Ravens had the chance to win
the game. They had that to tie the game and
(04:35):
then eventually win the game. We have to tie before
you can win. And well we know what happened. So
the Bills advanced to the AFC Championship Game where next
Sunday against the number one Seaton and City, the two
time defending champion Chiefs. More on their game later as
we work our way through the overnight. Buffalo snapping a
(04:57):
three year run, a three year run of being eliminated
in the divisional round of the plaus Now it is
a familiar matchup. We have seen this many times. Buffalo
has been eliminated by Kansas City in three of the
past four postseasons three of the past four postseasons. So
let us discuss the question, does tight end Mark Andrews
(05:21):
of the Baltimore football team deserve all the heat that
he is getting for this performance against Buffalo? So I've
got Southwest Airlines, Vanity Mirror, and Santa Claus and we'll
combine all of these things together and we are going
(05:42):
to make TikTok, which no longer exists for now haha,
no more TikTok. All right, So a to answer the question,
does Baltimore's Mark Andrews deserve the heat that he is
getting for this performance against the Bills. Yes, I am
nodding my head. This is kind of obvious, Like this
is not Pop Warner, this is not high school. This
(06:03):
is big time professional football. It is a make or
miss situation. You either make the play or you missed
the play. And he missed it in splendid fashion with
the ras mataz of a stumblebum. Is how this went
down for Mark Andrews. In fact, before Sunday. Now the
(06:24):
Raves died in Mark Andrews before Sunday, all right. He
had not dropped a pass since Week eight. What a time?
What a time to drop a pass. Now, this performance
is like a nice tattoo. Okay, it's like a tax
it's with you for life, Okay. At age twenty nine,
Mark Andrews, you got a few more years left in
(06:45):
the NFL that maybe you can get a different tattoo,
and tattoo over that tattoo was something more attractive. But
that is how he is branded at this point. He
had two drop passes in the divisional round here, including
the two point conversion and also a backbreaking fumble for
(07:06):
Mark Andrews at the Buffalo forty six yard line. He
fumbled the ball that led to the Bills getting a
field goal attempt that nels required the Ravens to go
down and get the two point conversion. You see how
this is all connected. Mark Andrews, who has been the
safety blanket for Lamar Jackson for many, many years. And
(07:26):
you look at this and Andrews on this one. It
was at Southwest Airlines. He was like a coal pilot
at Southwest Airlines. He had one of those one to
get away situations going on. He really wanted to get away.
But seriously, you talk about coming up small on the
big stage with everyone watching, right, everyone's paying attention and
wh Yeah, not not good. Here's the head coach of
(07:50):
the Baltimore football team, John Harbaugh, explaining that his tight end, well,
of course he's not gonna say his tight end sucked.
He's gonna have to spin it. Let's see what he's
it with.
Speaker 3 (08:00):
Let's take there's nobody that has more heart and cares
more and fights more than Mark. Because we wouldn't be
here without Mark Andrews. You know that's that's what you
say to him, so you know it's like anything else.
I mean, destiny is a decision that you make.
Speaker 1 (08:10):
It's a decision is how.
Speaker 3 (08:11):
You handle what comes in your life. Now, Mark will
handle it fantastic like he always does because he's a
high character person. He's a tough person, and he's a
good person. So proud of him is a second. Proud
of all the guys.
Speaker 1 (08:23):
You would actually be playing in the AFC Championship game
without Lamar Jackson. You are where you are because of
Lamar Jackson. That's correct, That nothing wrong, Yes, high character guy,
and I don't pay close attention to every single Raven game,
But does it not seem like Lamar Jackson has played
poorly in many of these playoff games, and Mark Andrews
has also not played well in a lot of these
(08:43):
playoff games. Those two things are like parallel to each
other in these playoff situations. Now will Lamar Jackson, on
the other hand, here will Lamar Jackson with this loss?
Will he get a pass a playoff pass because he
outperform Josh Allen Statistically speaking, we know you nerds out there,
(09:05):
We know the nerds get all roused. They get the
chubby for the stats. So will this give Lamar Jackson
a pass because he had a dominant stat line And
the answer to that is thumbs down on that. No,
No stats are for losers. Losers. You repeat it, losers.
(09:26):
There you go. It was a three dog knight for
the Ravens. A three dog knight for the Ravens. Here miscues,
penalties and mental errors. Now they didn't have a ton
of penalties, but they certainly counted five penalties, gave up
two first downs to Buffalo in this game. Buffalo scored
(09:47):
ten points off the miscues. Baltimore turned the ball over
not once, not twice, three times. That led to ten points.
You can do the malord math on that how it
turned out. And Lamar Jackson continues to be star crossed.
And the theory on this is back on Draft night
when he was coming out of Louisville and entering the NFL.
(10:09):
There was a big party and somewhere in the party,
Lamar accidentally took one of those vanity mirrors and broke it.
He broke the vanity mirror, and that gave him seven
years of bad luck. But it only affects the playoffs
because in the regular season there is really no bad
luck for Lamar Jackson. It's just playoff Lamar. That's where
(10:32):
the glitch happens. Seven years bad luck, and oh, by
the way, this would be his seventh year in the NFL. Now,
the concern is he actually broke two vanity mirrors at
that party. Therefore he's got fourteen seasons of bad luck,
which means seven more to go. Good luck on that.

Speaker 1 (11:01):
App Stuck in the Snow Welcome in the beginning of
another hour of The Benmalor Show. We are in the
air everywhere, benfellows, as we are providing you a universe
of stories to wait right here, coast to coast, border
the border and me on on the mast and supremely
(11:25):
powerful microphones of FSR emmading live from Loui the wee
hours of the morning. We're broadcasting live from the tyrag
dot com studios. Tyract dot com will help you get
there and unmatch selection, fast reshipping, free road hazard protection,
and over ten thousand recommended installers. I know that Johnny
(11:49):
Slick likes that number. Ten thousand. Tiract dot com the
way tire buying show me, So we play the hits
as we navigate our way through the NFL playoff weekend
reminder coming up later this hour. It is scheduled the
verbal Octagon two point zero. There's a college football national
championship game that will be played later on Monday night
(12:14):
and Notre Dame versus Ohio State. The Octagon is going
to take place in about twenty five thirty minutes from now.
Give her take. We'll take some calls before then, we'll
see if not we will declare, will declare the winner.
We'll see if that happens or not. But Buck Nutts
representing Ohio State, born bred and all that in Columbus
(12:35):
versus a man who's a proud golden domer, Alameda Lou.
I'm sure Alameda Lou will not flake on us at all.
But we begin this hour from Philadelphia, Philadelphia, PA, a
snow packed afternoon. Well it didn't start this way, but
it ended up that way in the divisional round where
Matthew Stafford and the lri Ams traveling circus heading to
(12:58):
the Delaware Valley to wrestle with Jalen Hurts and the
eight gl Agles. The winner against the host host the
NFC Championship game because the Detroit Lions choked against the
Washington football team, so the Commanders will be the road
team and they would take on the winner of this
(13:20):
Philadelphia LA team. I assume you know who won by now,
but maybe not. Maybe he didn't watch the game. As
Sekwan Barkley pouring salt on the wound of the New
York Giants in an Eagle uniform, he dashed through the
snow the winter wonder Land. He had massive run seventy
eight yard touchdown for Philadelphia, sixty two yard touchdown for
(13:41):
the Eagles. He finished with two hundred and five yards rushing.
Jalen Hurts had forty four yards on a one carry
for a touchdown. That's pretty much all he did. The
Eagles held on by the skin on their chiney chinchin,
held on by the skin on their chinny chinchin, and
they get past the Rams twenty eight to twenty two
to reach the NFC Championship Game for the second time
(14:05):
in three years. But the better story is in the
losing locker room, and so that is where we will focus.
Let us discuss question where did things go wrong for
Sean mcvay's Rams. They won the statue but lost the game.
Where did things go wrong for Sean mcvay's Rams. So
I've got drive through utensils and Hulk a maniac, and
(14:29):
we will combine all of these things together and we
will provide a investigation. A Mather Show investigation is what
we're going to do. So Nber, Yes, this is not
open heart surgery. We're just talking about sports. We're just
(14:50):
talking about a random football playoff game. The Rams sucked
at a time you cannot suck. That would be the
start of the fourth quarter, but really only for a
few minutes at the start of the fourth quarter. But
that was enough to sink their battleship. That's the problem.
They matched the Eagles blow for blow. In fact, they
won the statuet, but it was eleven seconds in. That
(15:12):
was the point of demarcation for the Rams. Eleven seconds
in to the fourth quarter. The Rams were trailing by
one point. It's a sixteen to fifteen game. The Rams
trailing by one point. Sean mcvagh decided to leave the stadium.
He went out, He went through the drive through at Windy's.
He ended up ordering not one, but two Frosty's and
(15:33):
Frosty the snow Man. Kyrine Williams, a golden domer. He
went to Notre Dame. He played in cold weather. You
wouldn't know it because the Ram running back. Yeah, he
turned the ball over right around midfield. The ball was
returned to the Ram ten yard line. Rams up by one,
cough up the football and that ultimately led to a
(15:55):
field goal by the Eagles. So now you're down by four.
That was Frosty the Snowman number one, Frosty the Snowman
number two. LA's very next drive, Matthew Stafford coughed up
a for a ball and fumba that was also in
Ram territory the thirty eight yard line, handing the ball,
setting up the Eagles offense, giving the Eagles a short
(16:17):
field that they couldn't get a touchdown because they're not
really not that good. But the Eagles got a field
goal twenty two to fifteen that was frost to eat
the snowman number two. And so in the span of
a couple of minutes, the Rams went from potentially driving
down the field to have a field goal attempt to
(16:37):
take the lead, be up by two, or a touchdown
to go up by a bunch, and it didn't happen.
Those two fumbles by Tyrone Williams and Matthew Stafford ultimately
provided the difference in the game. Good afternoon, good evening,
and good night. But a team from the West Coast,
supposedly soft team against a big, tough Burley Philadelphia Eagle team.
(17:01):
If I'm a Philadelphia Eagle fan, I'm not feeling very good,
cause that game was a lot closer than it needed
to be now, page two. Following the loss, all right,
following the loss, Matthew Stafford was quizzed about his future.
I think we have some audio on that. Let's go
to the audio tape. Here's Matthew Stafford asked about what's
going to happen going forward. Take a listen. I'm so
(17:23):
proud to be associated with this group, and you know,
as far as my future goes, I mean, it's thirty
minutes after the last game, so I'll take some time
to think about it. But I feel like I was
playing some pretty good ball. You got football left in you?
Sure it feels like it. You might want to see
a doctor and have that taken out anyway, So Stafford saying, hey,
take some time to think about it. That was the
(17:45):
money quote about his future, leaving the open end to
that question. I don't know the plot thickens. So where
answer people here? What are the odds? Matthew Stafford returns
to the Rams in twenty twenty five's regular season. What
are the odds? Matthew Stafford returns to the Rams again,
(18:06):
his commentary, you just heard it there takes some time
to think about it, as what he said. So I'm
gonna set the malor odds at minus one point fifty
on Stafford returning to the La Rams. That implies a
sixty percent chance, but also a forty percent chance he
does not come back to the Rams. And here's why.
(18:27):
A couple of years ago, the Rams came this close
you can't see my fingers, but this close to getting
rid of Matthew Stafford. They were ready to move on.
They thought he was too damaged, and they were looking
to unload Stafford. It didn't work out at that point.
And so the Rams right now and Stafford yet again,
are staring at utensils. They are at a fork in
(18:49):
the road, a fork in the road. Stafford played the
twenty twenty four regular season and now obviously the postseason,
essentially on a one year contract. Now he got paid
very well, the riches of Solomon or in this case
the riches of Stan Croncky, the owner, forty million dollars
essentially for one year. The contract allows the Rams and
Stafford to reassess, to reassess after the season. The season
(19:14):
is now over and a wa la, here we are
back at the fork in the road. The crossroads. Stafford
has been a year to year or year to year
really for a couple of season. Now the Rams they
have no safety net, which I'm fine with. It'll be
kind of fun to see what they do if Stafford
does leave all of their Eggs have been in the
(19:34):
Stafford basket. They had Jimmy Garoppolo, who's pretty washed up
as the backup, and so they'll have to turn over
some rocks and fus around to try to find a
quarterback if Stafford retires or if he goes to some
other team. But the smart money says he goes back
one year year to year situation. It's sixty forty. As
(19:54):
they said. Now the positives, you weigh the positives and
the negatives and all that. The positives, he's comfortable with McVeigh.
Mcveigh's comfortable with him. The Rams are set up to
be a good team year in and year out because
they draft, They've drafted well, they have the money to spend,
they sign free agents and whatnot. Rams have a stud
wide receiver, Pulga Nakua. Their other stud wide receiver, Cooper Cup,
(20:18):
appears to be washed up all of a sudden, but
they have other playmakers the negatives. Matthew Stafford is about
to turn thirty seven, has a history. His medical chart
is reminiscent of Kawhi Leonard or Anthony Davis from the NBA.
Gets hurt quite a bit. He's battered, beaten, bruised all
of that. And so if Stafford is gone, the Rams
(20:39):
will have to go down to the flea market. And
you look at the quarterbacks that are going to change
teams or could change teams this offseason, there are some
real turds. Sam Darnold, Derek Carr, Aaron Rogers, Kirk Cousins
is out there, Russell Wilson, justin Fields and I go on,
that's the quarterback shuffle this offseason. That's the quarterback shuffle.
(21:02):
So it's Stafford conceivably if he wanted to, seems to
like La and the vibe in LA and his wife's annoying,
does that stupid podcast? But they could run off to
Pittsburgh or somewhere like that, Stafford and play for the
Steelers and give it a go there with Mike Tomlin.
That's unlikely to happen now. Final point, so prior to
the Ram Eagle game. Prior to the game, the Ram
(21:24):
rookie stud pass rusher, your defensive rookie of the year
more likely than not. In the NFL, Jared Verse said, quote,
I hate Eagles fans. He said they're so annoying. He
pointed out, I hate Eagle fans. Is what he said.
When I see that green and white, I hate it.
Verse said, I actually get upset. He stated, like, I
(21:47):
actually genuinely get hot. It's like hot flashes, like you said,
going through menopause or something. Wow. All right, So this
was of course played up in the media as a
big event. It was played up as you know, big
deal and all that stuff. So some connecting the dots say, well,
the Eagles won that game because Jared Vers said this
(22:07):
about Eagle fans. Question, did rams rookie Jared Verse trashing
the Philadelphia Eagle fan base, did that help push Philly
into the winners circle? All right? So how about Yeah,
Kirin Williams and Matthew Safford both of them fumbled because
of that quote, and last they didn't. You'd have to
(22:29):
be a country bumpkin to think that is the case. Now.
I know there's a lot of country bumpkins out there,
but come on. I did get a kick out of
Verse going hulk of maniac. I saw this clip prior
to the game, playing mind games as he took a
lap Jared Verse, the rookie, around the link before the game.
He was egging on the Eagle fan He was egging
(22:53):
them on, putting his hand around his ear like Caulkamaniac
Haul Cogan there the king of him and encouraging the booze,
soaking it all up there playing the villain role, playing
the villain role, enhancing the fan experience, and Verse backed
it up. He played well. He had four tackles, three
tackles for loss, a couple of sacks, a couple of
(23:13):
quarterback hits, so he lived up to the billion. The
Rams defense had a couple of meltdowns and that combined
with the fumbles, did him in. But you know, going
in next year, Rams will probably win the NFC West again.
The Niners are gonna give that stiff brock Purty a
lot of money. Seattle's got no quarterback with Gino Smith,
Arizona's trotting out alligator Arms Murray. So Rams I don't
(23:34):
even care if Stafford leaves. They're still gonna win the
NFC West. Sean McVay is the top coach in that
division by a country mile. The Rams have pukin Nakoula.
They've got a bubbling up defense here, so things are
fine in Ramland and it's pot luck here in the playoffs,
it's hit and miss in the postseason, but you're gonna
you know, going in, you're gonna have a better coach
(23:55):
than everyone else in the NFC. As Sean McVay is
the top coach in the NFC, So you know that
going in. You know, assuming they sign a free agent
or two and they draft a couple of guys that
are halfway decent, the ramsel continue to climb up the ladder.
I know you're annoyed by that, but that's the reality
for Philadelphia. On the other hand, I wouldn't be feeling
too good if I'm a Philadelphia Eagle fan, I would not.
(24:17):
Jalen Hurts when he's healthy isn't all that good. And
he's not healthy. So if Washington they don't have a
great defense, but if they can just box everything up right,
force Jalen Hursts to make a bunch of plays, good luck,
good luck on that. We'll see how that goes. You
imagine Washington makes the Super Bowl. Man.

play the game. That's a bad job by you.

Speaker 2 (01:35):
Me.
Speaker 1 (01:35):
So our lead this hour is from you know what,
the championship games are now set in the NFL's kind
of a big deal in our world, slightly slightly a
big deal. And our lead is from the most hyped
game of the divisional round of the playoffs. I will
tell you we're supposed to have another octagon an hour two.
(01:57):
I'm hearing rumors that one of the guys gonna flake,
and if that happens, that person's dead to me. But
we'll find out. That'll be an hour or two. There's
rumors in the hallways here that one of the combatants
is gonna fight. But our lead this hour is from Buffalo.
Here we go, Buffalo. There was snow, although there was
more snow in the Eagles game than there was in
(02:19):
the Bills game. But the Vision round of the playoffs
Lamar Jackson trying to kill some demons. Playoff, Lamar trying
to end all that, at least for the week. Raven's
traveling three hundred and sixty two miles as the crow
flies or in this case, the Blackbird, the poet the
Raven into western New York for a date to wrangle
(02:42):
with Josh Allen and the Bills. The winner gets a
trip to Cansau City to eat great barbecue, amazing chicken
fingers over there at the Landing and Liberty and of
course the Ben Mathers chicken fingers and just have a
great time. So if you didn't watch the game, why
the hell not? What else were you doing? I don't
want to know. Maybe you missed it. So Josh Allen
(03:02):
did not have a gotty stat line. He wasn't gotty,
but he did have two rushing touchdowns and the Buffalo
defense forcing not one, not two, but three turnovers and
a little bit of a drop ski there at the end.
More on that in a minute. For the Baltimore football team,
the Bills advanced to the AFC Championship Game, a heart
(03:26):
pounding twenty seven to twenty five victory over the beleaguer
Baltimore football team in the Divisional round on a cold
Sunday night, the Bill's hung on as a wide open,
wide open Mark Andrews, he had it right there, two
point conversion, two point conversion passed from Lamar Jackson, ball
(03:52):
bounced off his chest, right off his chest with a
minute thirty three left. Now the raven fan will say, Hey,
that's the end of the deal right there. That is it.
That is we fed up right there, and that's all
the Bills fanis said. Well, even if he had gotten that,
the Bills had a minute thirty three, all they needed
(04:12):
was a field goal to go down and win that game.
Now Jackson hadn't connected moments earlier on a pass played
to Isaiah, likely a sliding pass play a twenty four
yard touchdown. There, the Ravens had the chance to win
the game. They had that to tie the game and
(04:35):
then eventually win the game. We have to tie before
you can win. And well we know what happened. So
the Bills advanced to the AFC Championship Game where next
Sunday against the number one Seaton and City, the two
time defending champion Chiefs. More on their game later as
we work our way through the overnight. Buffalo snapping a
(04:57):
three year run, a three year run of being eliminated
in the divisional round of the plaus Now it is
a familiar matchup. We have seen this many times. Buffalo
has been eliminated by Kansas City in three of the
past four postseasons three of the past four postseasons. So
let us discuss the question, does tight end Mark Andrews
(05:21):
of the Baltimore football team deserve all the heat that
he is getting for this performance against Buffalo? So I've
got Southwest Airlines, Vanity Mirror, and Santa Claus and we'll
combine all of these things together and we are going
(05:42):
to make TikTok, which no longer exists for now haha,
no more TikTok. All right, So a to answer the question,
does Baltimore's Mark Andrews deserve the heat that he is
getting for this performance against the Bills. Yes, I am
nodding my head. This is kind of obvious, Like this
is not Pop Warner, this is not high school. This
(06:03):
is big time professional football. It is a make or
miss situation. You either make the play or you missed
the play. And he missed it in splendid fashion with
the ras mataz of a stumblebum. Is how this went
down for Mark Andrews. In fact, before Sunday. Now the
(06:24):
Raves died in Mark Andrews before Sunday, all right. He
had not dropped a pass since Week eight. What a time?
What a time to drop a pass. Now, this performance
is like a nice tattoo. Okay, it's like a tax
it's with you for life, Okay. At age twenty nine,
Mark Andrews, you got a few more years left in
(06:45):
the NFL that maybe you can get a different tattoo,
and tattoo over that tattoo was something more attractive. But
that is how he is branded at this point. He
had two drop passes in the divisional round here, including
the two point conversion and also a backbreaking fumble for
(07:06):
Mark Andrews at the Buffalo forty six yard line. He
fumbled the ball that led to the Bills getting a
field goal attempt that nels required the Ravens to go
down and get the two point conversion. You see how
this is all connected. Mark Andrews, who has been the
safety blanket for Lamar Jackson for many, many years. And
(07:26):
you look at this and Andrews on this one. It
was at Southwest Airlines. He was like a coal pilot
at Southwest Airlines. He had one of those one to
get away situations going on. He really wanted to get away.
But seriously, you talk about coming up small on the
big stage with everyone watching, right, everyone's paying attention and
wh Yeah, not not good. Here's the head coach of
(07:50):
the Baltimore football team, John Harbaugh, explaining that his tight end, well,
of course he's not gonna say his tight end sucked.
He's gonna have to spin it. Let's see what he's
it with.
Speaker 3 (08:00):
Let's take there's nobody that has more heart and cares
more and fights more than Mark. Because we wouldn't be
here without Mark Andrews. You know that's that's what you
say to him, so you know it's like anything else.
I mean, destiny is a decision that you make.
Speaker 1 (08:10):
It's a decision is how.
Speaker 3 (08:11):
You handle what comes in your life. Now, Mark will
handle it fantastic like he always does because he's a
high character person. He's a tough person, and he's a
good person. So proud of him is a second. Proud
of all the guys.
Speaker 1 (08:23):
You would actually be playing in the AFC Championship game
without Lamar Jackson. You are where you are because of
Lamar Jackson. That's correct, That nothing wrong, Yes, high character guy,
and I don't pay close attention to every single Raven game,
But does it not seem like Lamar Jackson has played
poorly in many of these playoff games, and Mark Andrews
has also not played well in a lot of these
(08:43):
playoff games. Those two things are like parallel to each
other in these playoff situations. Now will Lamar Jackson, on
the other hand, here will Lamar Jackson with this loss?
Will he get a pass a playoff pass because he
outperform Josh Allen Statistically speaking, we know you nerds out there,
(09:05):
We know the nerds get all roused. They get the
chubby for the stats. So will this give Lamar Jackson
a pass because he had a dominant stat line And
the answer to that is thumbs down on that. No,
No stats are for losers. Losers. You repeat it, losers.
(09:26):
There you go. It was a three dog knight for
the Ravens. A three dog knight for the Ravens. Here miscues,
penalties and mental errors. Now they didn't have a ton
of penalties, but they certainly counted five penalties, gave up
two first downs to Buffalo in this game. Buffalo scored
(09:47):
ten points off the miscues. Baltimore turned the ball over
not once, not twice, three times. That led to ten points.
You can do the malord math on that how it
turned out. And Lamar Jackson continues to be star crossed.
And the theory on this is back on Draft night
when he was coming out of Louisville and entering the NFL.
(10:09):
There was a big party and somewhere in the party,
Lamar accidentally took one of those vanity mirrors and broke it.
He broke the vanity mirror, and that gave him seven
years of bad luck. But it only affects the playoffs
because in the regular season there is really no bad
luck for Lamar Jackson. It's just playoff Lamar. That's where
(10:32):
the glitch happens. Seven years bad luck, and oh, by
the way, this would be his seventh year in the NFL. Now,
the concern is he actually broke two vanity mirrors at
that party. Therefore he's got fourteen seasons of bad luck,
which means seven more to go. Good luck on that.

App Stuck in the Snow Welcome in the beginning of
another hour of The Benmalor Show. We are in the
air everywhere, benfellows, as we are providing you a universe
of stories to wait right here, coast to coast, border
the border and me on on the mast and supremely
(11:25):
powerful microphones of FSR emmading live from Loui the wee

(11:49):
Slick likes that number. Ten thousand. Tiract dot com the
way tire buying show me, So we play the hits
as we navigate our way through the NFL playoff weekend
reminder coming up later this hour. It is scheduled the
verbal Octagon two point zero. There's a college football national
championship game that will be played later on Monday night
(12:14):
and Notre Dame versus Ohio State. The Octagon is going
to take place in about twenty five thirty minutes from now.
Give her take. We'll take some calls before then, we'll
see if not we will declare, will declare the winner.
We'll see if that happens or not. But Buck Nutts
representing Ohio State, born bred and all that in Columbus
(12:35):
versus a man who's a proud golden domer, Alameda Lou.
I'm sure Alameda Lou will not flake on us at all.
But we begin this hour from Philadelphia, Philadelphia, PA, a
snow packed afternoon. Well it didn't start this way, but
it ended up that way in the divisional round where
Matthew Stafford and the lri Ams traveling circus heading to
(12:58):
the Delaware Valley to wrestle with Jalen Hurts and the
eight gl Agles. The winner against the host host the
NFC Championship game because the Detroit Lions choked against the
Washington football team, so the Commanders will be the road
team and they would take on the winner of this
(13:20):
Philadelphia LA team. I assume you know who won by now,
but maybe not. Maybe he didn't watch the game. As
Sekwan Barkley pouring salt on the wound of the New
York Giants in an Eagle uniform, he dashed through the
snow the winter wonder Land. He had massive run seventy
eight yard touchdown for Philadelphia, sixty two yard touchdown for
(13:41):
the Eagles. He finished with two hundred and five yards rushing.
Jalen Hurts had forty four yards on a one carry
for a touchdown. That's pretty much all he did. The
Eagles held on by the skin on their chiney chinchin,
held on by the skin on their chinny chinchin, and
they get past the Rams twenty eight to twenty two
to reach the NFC Championship Game for the second time
(14:05):
in three years. But the better story is in the
losing locker room, and so that is where we will focus.
Let us discuss question where did things go wrong for
Sean mcvay's Rams. They won the statue but lost the game.
Where did things go wrong for Sean mcvay's Rams. So
I've got drive through utensils and Hulk a maniac, and
(14:29):
we will combine all of these things together and we
will provide a investigation. A Mather Show investigation is what
we're going to do. So Nber, Yes, this is not
open heart surgery. We're just talking about sports. We're just
(14:50):
talking about a random football playoff game. The Rams sucked
at a time you cannot suck. That would be the
start of the fourth quarter, but really only for a
few minutes at the start of the fourth quarter. But
that was enough to sink their battleship. That's the problem.
They matched the Eagles blow for blow. In fact, they
won the statuet, but it was eleven seconds in. That
(15:12):
was the point of demarcation for the Rams. Eleven seconds
in to the fourth quarter. The Rams were trailing by
one point. It's a sixteen to fifteen game. The Rams
trailing by one point. Sean mcvagh decided to leave the stadium.
He went out, He went through the drive through at Windy's.
He ended up ordering not one, but two Frosty's and
(15:33):
Frosty the snow Man. Kyrine Williams, a golden domer. He
went to Notre Dame. He played in cold weather. You
wouldn't know it because the Ram running back. Yeah, he
turned the ball over right around midfield. The ball was
returned to the Ram ten yard line. Rams up by one,
cough up the football and that ultimately led to a
(15:55):
field goal by the Eagles. So now you're down by four.
That was Frosty the Snowman number one, Frosty the Snowman
number two. LA's very next drive, Matthew Stafford coughed up
a for a ball and fumba that was also in
Ram territory the thirty eight yard line, handing the ball,
setting up the Eagles offense, giving the Eagles a short
(16:17):
field that they couldn't get a touchdown because they're not
really not that good. But the Eagles got a field
goal twenty two to fifteen that was frost to eat
the snowman number two. And so in the span of
a couple of minutes, the Rams went from potentially driving
down the field to have a field goal attempt to
(16:37):
take the lead, be up by two, or a touchdown
to go up by a bunch, and it didn't happen.
Those two fumbles by Tyrone Williams and Matthew Stafford ultimately
provided the difference in the game. Good afternoon, good evening,
and good night. But a team from the West Coast,
supposedly soft team against a big, tough Burley Philadelphia Eagle team.
(17:01):
If I'm a Philadelphia Eagle fan, I'm not feeling very good,
cause that game was a lot closer than it needed
to be now, page two. Following the loss, all right,
following the loss, Matthew Stafford was quizzed about his future.
I think we have some audio on that. Let's go
to the audio tape. Here's Matthew Stafford asked about what's
going to happen going forward. Take a listen. I'm so
(17:23):
proud to be associated with this group, and you know,
as far as my future goes, I mean, it's thirty
minutes after the last game, so I'll take some time
to think about it. But I feel like I was
playing some pretty good ball. You got football left in you?
Sure it feels like it. You might want to see
a doctor and have that taken out anyway, So Stafford saying, hey,
take some time to think about it. That was the
(17:45):
money quote about his future, leaving the open end to
that question. I don't know the plot thickens. So where
answer people here? What are the odds? Matthew Stafford returns
to the Rams in twenty twenty five's regular season. What
are the odds? Matthew Stafford returns to the Rams again,
(18:06):
his commentary, you just heard it there takes some time
to think about it, as what he said. So I'm
gonna set the malor odds at minus one point fifty
on Stafford returning to the La Rams. That implies a
sixty percent chance, but also a forty percent chance he
does not come back to the Rams. And here's why.
(18:27):
A couple of years ago, the Rams came this close
you can't see my fingers, but this close to getting
rid of Matthew Stafford. They were ready to move on.
They thought he was too damaged, and they were looking
to unload Stafford. It didn't work out at that point.
And so the Rams right now and Stafford yet again,
are staring at utensils. They are at a fork in
(18:49):
the road, a fork in the road. Stafford played the
twenty twenty four regular season and now obviously the postseason,
essentially on a one year contract. Now he got paid
very well, the riches of Solomon or in this case
the riches of Stan Croncky, the owner, forty million dollars
essentially for one year. The contract allows the Rams and
Stafford to reassess, to reassess after the season. The season
(19:14):
is now over and a wa la, here we are
back at the fork in the road. The crossroads. Stafford
has been a year to year or year to year
really for a couple of season. Now the Rams they
have no safety net, which I'm fine with. It'll be
kind of fun to see what they do if Stafford
does leave all of their Eggs have been in the
(19:34):
Stafford basket. They had Jimmy Garoppolo, who's pretty washed up
as the backup, and so they'll have to turn over
some rocks and fus around to try to find a
quarterback if Stafford retires or if he goes to some
other team. But the smart money says he goes back
one year year to year situation. It's sixty forty. As
(19:54):
they said. Now the positives, you weigh the positives and
the negatives and all that. The positives, he's comfortable with McVeigh.
Mcveigh's comfortable with him. The Rams are set up to
be a good team year in and year out because
they draft, They've drafted well, they have the money to spend,
they sign free agents and whatnot. Rams have a stud
wide receiver, Pulga Nakua. Their other stud wide receiver, Cooper Cup,
(20:18):
appears to be washed up all of a sudden, but
they have other playmakers the negatives. Matthew Stafford is about
to turn thirty seven, has a history. His medical chart
is reminiscent of Kawhi Leonard or Anthony Davis from the NBA.
Gets hurt quite a bit. He's battered, beaten, bruised all
of that. And so if Stafford is gone, the Rams
(20:39):
will have to go down to the flea market. And
you look at the quarterbacks that are going to change
teams or could change teams this offseason, there are some
real turds. Sam Darnold, Derek Carr, Aaron Rogers, Kirk Cousins
is out there, Russell Wilson, justin Fields and I go on,
that's the quarterback shuffle this offseason. That's the quarterback shuffle.
(21:02):
So it's Stafford conceivably if he wanted to, seems to
like La and the vibe in LA and his wife's annoying,
does that stupid podcast? But they could run off to
Pittsburgh or somewhere like that, Stafford and play for the
Steelers and give it a go there with Mike Tomlin.
That's unlikely to happen now. Final point, so prior to
the Ram Eagle game. Prior to the game, the Ram
(21:24):
rookie stud pass rusher, your defensive rookie of the year
more likely than not. In the NFL, Jared Verse said, quote,
I hate Eagles fans. He said they're so annoying. He
pointed out, I hate Eagle fans. Is what he said.
When I see that green and white, I hate it.
Verse said, I actually get upset. He stated, like, I
(21:47):
actually genuinely get hot. It's like hot flashes, like you said,
going through menopause or something. Wow. All right, So this
was of course played up in the media as a
big event. It was played up as you know, big
deal and all that stuff. So some connecting the dots say, well,
the Eagles won that game because Jared Vers said this
(22:07):
about Eagle fans. Question, did rams rookie Jared Verse trashing
the Philadelphia Eagle fan base, did that help push Philly
into the winners circle? All right? So how about Yeah,
Kirin Williams and Matthew Safford both of them fumbled because
of that quote, and last they didn't. You'd have to
(22:29):
be a country bumpkin to think that is the case. Now.
I know there's a lot of country bumpkins out there,
but come on. I did get a kick out of
Verse going hulk of maniac. I saw this clip prior
to the game, playing mind games as he took a
lap Jared Verse, the rookie, around the link before the game.
He was egging on the Eagle fan He was egging
(22:53):
them on, putting his hand around his ear like Caulkamaniac
Haul Cogan there the king of him and encouraging the booze,
soaking it all up there playing the villain role, playing
the villain role, enhancing the fan experience, and Verse backed
it up. He played well. He had four tackles, three
tackles for loss, a couple of sacks, a couple of
(23:13):
quarterback hits, so he lived up to the billion. The
Rams defense had a couple of meltdowns and that combined
with the fumbles, did him in. But you know, going
in next year, Rams will probably win the NFC West again.
The Niners are gonna give that stiff brock Purty a
lot of money. Seattle's got no quarterback with Gino Smith,
Arizona's trotting out alligator Arms Murray. So Rams I don't
(23:34):
even care if Stafford leaves. They're still gonna win the
NFC West. Sean McVay is the top coach in that
division by a country mile. The Rams have pukin Nakoula.
They've got a bubbling up defense here, so things are
fine in Ramland and it's pot luck here in the playoffs,
it's hit and miss in the postseason, but you're gonna
you know, going in, you're gonna have a better coach
(23:55):
than everyone else in the NFC. As Sean McVay is
the top coach in the NFC, So you know that
going in. You know, assuming they sign a free agent
or two and they draft a couple of guys that
are halfway decent, the ramsel continue to climb up the ladder.
I know you're annoyed by that, but that's the reality
for Philadelphia. On the other hand, I wouldn't be feeling
too good if I'm a Philadelphia Eagle fan, I would not.
(24:17):
Jalen Hurts when he's healthy isn't all that good. And
