Dingedong, It's our numbber two. Our number two is ready
for you. And we start out with that Colt Chiefs
game at Arrowhead as Kansas City down by eleven, comes
back in the fourth quarter and wins it in overtime.
How is the Daniel Jones reputation rehab going for the

(00:21):
team from Indy? Also, should Andy Reid's Chiefs be celebrated
for their resiliency or ripped apart for being always in
a hole? And Vikings Wide receiver Justin Jefferson says, it's
frustrating to lose and say the same things every single
week expecting things to change. How do you interpret the

(00:43):
meaning of all of this? From the Vikings franchise receiver.
We'll get to that and more right now, including mallor
to the third degree. Buckle up for our number two,
stopping on a dime. Oh come, in the beginning of

Speaker 1 (02:25):
So I lead this hour big NFL matchup early on Sunday.
We'll start in the City of Fountains, Cansas City, the
iconic Arrowhead Stadium, not far from the landing in Liberty, Missouri,
where a little over a year ago the iconic Malard
Meet and greet took place the majestic home of the

(02:46):
Ben Malard Chicken Fingers. There in Cansas City. So is
Daniel Jones leading a caravan of Colts, the traveling party
making their way there for a matchup in the home
of Mahomes. Patrick Mahomes Chiefs there at Arrowhead Stadium. So
that was the game out. If you saw it or not,

(03:08):
maybe you missed it, you were out. I don't know
what you were doing. What were you doing? Who knows? Anyway,
Patrick Mahomes threw for a season high three hundred and
fifty two yards, and I'm told that is good while
rallying the Chiefs from an eleven point deficit in the
fourth quarter as the defense making some plays there, forcing

(03:28):
Indianapolis to go three and out on their final four possessions.
Final four possessions, three and out, that's not good. Harrison
Bucker the game winning field goal as time ran out,
twenty seven yards to give Kansas City the win. Of course,
time running out because of the way the games are

(03:49):
decided here in the overtime, but Kansas City wins twenty
three to twenty in a game that could have done
a lot of damage to the Chiefs had they not
won it. But they come back and they win the
game there late. The better story, though, is in the
losing locker room. As quarterback Daniel Jones was zonked zonked

(04:10):
late in this game for Indianapolis, the fourth quarter and overtime,
and that is a good jumping off point. So let
us discuss a question. How is that Daniel Jones reputation
rehab the Daniel Jones reputation rehab tour going for the Colts.

(04:32):
That's the question, all right. So on this one, I've
got Feline, Delaware River and Geiger Counter and we will
combine all of these things together and we are going
to make some nice body spray is what we're gonna make,
all right. So the first thought I have, number one,

(04:55):
number one is that was a belly whopper of a
performance for Daniel Jones late in this game. You have
to finish the game. You finished the game, and he
did a face plan, a biblical face plant in this
game late in it for Danny Dives. Here is Daniel

(05:17):
Jones the man the hour pointing out and what's going
on there late in the game.

Speaker 3 (05:24):
The execute in some key situations. Yeah, I mean got
to do a better job I think overall and our
execution and certainly are their job and handling all that stuff.
So tough, yeah, tough to have a stretch like that
towards the.

Speaker 1 (05:41):
End of the game. Are are mirror, mirror on the wall?
Who's the first of them?

Speaker 4 (05:47):
Are?

Speaker 1 (05:47):
R r? All right, here's Shane Steichen, the head coach
of the Colts. The Colts as mentioned the final four,
the final four possession, three and out, three and out,
three and out, three and out. How'd that go? Yeah?

Speaker 5 (06:01):
I mean I thought the defense did a great job
getting the takeaways. You know, when we get a backed
up situation. We got to get ourselves out of that situation.
That's a three and out there, and then we had
another three and out and then we had another three
and out. So anytime you have three out so you're
not moving them efficiently, it's going to be hard for
any one to win football games.

Speaker 1 (06:15):
And we got to be better. I gotta be better. Okay,
that's went in doubt. I gotta be better. We got
to be better. Just throw that out at the end.
There you go. You're good. So back to the point
at hand. The question on the table for the esteem
panel here, how is the Daniel Jones reputation we have
toward going for the Colts. Well, we mentioned this was
a major setback here. The Colts go reverse Uno card

(06:38):
and Jones turns back the clock and it's like he's
back playing in Jersey for the g i Ay and
Ts Suck, Suck, Suck the Giants three completions in crunch time.
Three Now Daniel Jones based on Malormath, he closed the
game out in the fourth quarter and time, completing thirty

(07:02):
three point three percent of his passes. That's half the
sign of the devil in the fourth quarter and overtime
there for Daniel Jones. And he's the guy, remember, he's
the guy looking for the big payday. The Colts have
decided that they're they're going for it. They traded some
scratcher tickets away to the Jets to get their hands

(07:23):
on Sauce Gardner, and by doing that, they have committed
themselves to Daniel Jones. They've said, hey, we want you,
We're going to sign you to a contract, We're going
to keep you. And Jones is looking for a massive payday.
So he's got a lot of leverage you would assume
going into this. However, in these high leverage moments for

(07:44):
the Colts quarterback in this game, he looked like a feline.
Now what kind of feline did he look like? Did
he look like a rag doll.

Speaker 2 (07:51):
No.

Speaker 1 (07:52):
Did he look like a persian No, he did not
look like a Persian cat. Did he look like a sphinx? No?
He played like a scaredy cat. He played like us,
scaredy cat at the end of this game. Scaredy cat,
scaredy cat, DNA. That's what it was, all right. Behind
throwing behind receivers, generally they don't catch the passes when
you throw behind them. You're being so critical. Why would

(08:14):
you be so critical? That's just my experience. I know,
I'm a shock jock. Usually if you throw behind receivers,
they don't catch the passes. Why would you say that? Okay, anyway,
late on throws also problematic. Oh why are you being
so mean? Yeah? Nearly picked off multiple times in the
fourth quarter and overtime. Check that box. And as we mentioned,

(08:38):
the four straight three and outs to close the game.
That gets your that gets your resume updated. You might
want to go to one of the websites there and
see if you can find some work. My god, it
was not good, not good at all. So on the
Malard scale of panic, the top tool for determining how

(08:59):
bad situation is. The Mallards scale of panic one to ten,
with ten being oh my god, Oh my god. This
is an eight point oh eight point zero on the
Daniel Jones Mallards scale of panic for Indianapolis. And here's

(09:19):
why this is electric chair adjacent is what it's electric
chair Jason. And so when you look at it, Daniel Jones,
this is his reputation, rehab tour and all that. And
it's off the road. Now, it's not fully in the ditch,
but it's halfway in the ditch, and you're out of

(09:40):
gas and you've got a lot of problems. And so
the Colts fans were hoping they'd get another edition of
Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom, and they just
got the Temple of Doom. Part is what. They got
a lot of doom there and also Danny Dimes returning
the return of Danny Dimes in this game. The whole
idea this season is to see if you can commit

(10:06):
long term. Are you just gonna sign this guy to
a two year contract? You gave him a four year contract.
What's it gonna be? And this was, at best, if
you're positive, this was just a setback, a small setback,
that's it. At worst, something much worse than just a
small setback for Daniel Jones. Here, if you're a so

(10:28):
called franchise guy, shrinks up in every pressure situation, right,
no bueno, That is a nope bueno situation. Daniel Jones
was hesitant and at the end of the game. And
also it just seems like he was rattled by the
Chiefs defense, shrinking under pressure, which is generally what you're

(10:49):
not looking for. Here. That was Giant's era Daniel Jones,
although to be fair, there were very many games where
he didn't even play well enough to get to pressure
situations where the gas were over by the time you
would get to a fourth quarter where the game is
close situation. And so the Giants they got rid of
Daniel Jones. The Colts picked him up now after they

(11:10):
stopped in Minnesota, and at this moment the Colts say,
is the team more of a contender or a pretender? Well,
the way they finished the game, you'd have to put
them in the pretender category. It's the only fair thing
to do. If you disappear in crunch time and I've
got news, you're not the guy. You can't be the

(11:31):
guy if you're gonna play like that at the end
of the game, and that's exactly what happened on this day.
And so the Colts they're gonna have some decisions. There's
still obviously a couple of games to go here, a
few games left in regular season. But that was not
not a great afternoon. And so reputation rehab, reputation relapse.

(11:52):
It's a spinoff show, Reputation Relapse. You can go with
that if you would like. All right now, page two.
On the Cans City side of things, and it was
not a smooth game for the Chiefs. Game that had
a lot on the line for Kansas City considering that
they've dug themselves a massive hole. Head coach Andy Reid

(12:15):
and his team able to come back. Andy Reid, singing
the praises of his team postgame, he said, that's the
part quote I appreciate as a coach the most is
the attitude. Andy Reid said, Well, he put down his
cheeseburger to talk to the media. He said, it's a
compliment to the players, coaches and the supporting people from

(12:36):
the building. No one has been hanging their head and
oh no, and blah blah blah blah blah. All right,
so the question all right, Andy Reid celebrating the ability
of his Chiefs team not to give up. So should
Andy Reid's Chiefs be celebrated for resiliency or ripped for

(12:57):
being in the hole? All right? And you celebrate the
fact that they've come back and won a few of
these games, or do you goof on them because of
the situation they find themselves in. So I would say,
let's not crown anyone. If you want to crown him,
crown his ass. But I'm not gonna crown anyone. The
Chiefs weren't down eleven at Arrowhead to Daniel Jones in

(13:21):
the fourth quarter, down by eleven to Daniel Jones, Hello,
if you need to rally to save your tukas, is
that great? I don't know about that. It's certainly storm clouds.
It's certainly storm clouds. And the first three quarters of
this particular game, if you break it down, the first

(13:45):
three quarters, the Chiefs looked like they were running uphill.
But they were not just running uphill. They were running
on a bank of mud, of a mud bank right
on the Delaware River for some reason. And that is
where they rub the baseballs. The mud they rub on
the baseballs comes from the the mud banks of the
Delaware River. But that's essentially what they were doing in
this particular game. A lot of penalties, sloppy football, execution

(14:10):
was bad, all that stuff. No rhyme, no reason, none
of that stuff. And it's the same problem that has
been bird dogging the Chiefs all a season long. We've
seen it all year. It has not been a silky
road for Kansas City. Instead, it has been a sandpaper

(14:31):
road at this particular point. A lot of finger biting,
hair pulling, the sweaty palms, all of those things. And
they have become the cardiac kids. They've become the cardiac
kids here, and not in the fun way, not in
the fun way. No. And then you had Chris Jones.
But wait, there's more. You had Chris Jones, the man

(14:52):
that quit against Jacksonville, allowing the Jaguars to score the
game winning touchdown, a game that will likely hurt the
Chiefs down the line. Is Jacksonville one in Arizona, So
the Jaguars have a record that will put them in
playoff contention in Kansas City is also trying to get
one of those spots. So it's a mess in that
regard anyway, The point is Chris Jones postgame said, quote,

(15:14):
I've got to show up the rest of these games.
You know what that is? That is a dead give it,
dead give it. He's admitting, Chris Jones, defensive Star of
Kansas City, that he was a lolligagging. He's a lolligagger.
That's what he is. Lolligagger. Yep, yep, yep, yep. Yeah.
So it's say I've been on cruise control. When you say, hey,

(15:36):
I've got to show up the rest of the games,
that would mean you haven't shown up in a few
of the games. Therefore you have to show up in
the rest of the games because you haven't shown up.
You see the point. So he's been cruising along, cruising
for a bruising there. Here's the problem though, here's the
problem the Chiefs. They generally haven't started playing this season

(16:00):
until someone slaps them around a little bit and then
they wake up. Is that really resiliency or a lack
of urgency at the beginning of these games and Mahomes
he rescued him a bit here he's he's still not
where he had been Mahomes, and it's like a weekly

(16:22):
rescue plan. Who you're gonna call Mahomes, that's what you're
gonna call. And he talked about living on borrowed time
in Kansas City. There you escaped an escape room. Good
luck on that. As we move forward, now turning the page,
we go to Green Bay, Lommafield, the Frozen Tundra. As

(16:43):
the Minnesota football team. They showed up kind of. They
got their bell rung by the team from Wisconsin. So
Minnesota has now lost not one, not two, not three,
not four, not five, not six? How about seven seven
games lost this season? Does that sound like a lot. Well,

(17:04):
that's more than twice as many, more than twice as
many as the Minnesota Vikings suffered last year. And on
Sunday Sunday Sunday against the Green Bay Packers, the Vikings
ended up getting mollywopped by a Packer team that had
their own issues. The Green Bay Packers had some issues,

(17:24):
they're underwhelming all season with Jordan Love and JJ McCarthy though,
said Hey, you might be underwhelming, but you've got nothing
on me, nothing at all on me. McCarthy attempted nineteen passes,
twelve of them were completed, for eighty seven yards. A

(17:46):
professional quarterback that sat out a season, JJ McCarthy had
eighty seven yards passing two interceptions. He got sacked, not once,
not twice, not three times, not four times, how about
five times? Five sacks for JJ McCarthy. Remember, sacks are
mostly a quarterback stat, mostly a quarterbacks stat that tells me,

(18:07):
you don't know what you're doing now. As such, get
to the point, please, So you had the Vikings unable
to move the ball consistently, as you might imagine, get
the ball to their playmakers, because if you can't complete
passes for more than eighty seven yards, chances are none
of your receivers are going for one hundred yards because
you didn't have more than any seven Ye had any
seven yards passing J. J. McCarthy, So that includes the playmakers.

(18:32):
One of the all time greats of this generation, Justin
Jefferson of the Minnesota football team, who acknowledged postgame he
acknowledged the frustrations of the losing ways of the Minnesota
Vikings tale list. It's frustrating. It's frustrating to lose, you know,
it's frustrating to you know, to be up here and
say the same things every single weekend, expecting for something

(18:55):
to change. The following weekend, you know, we're still in
the same spot.

Speaker 3 (18:58):
So to figure it.

Speaker 1 (19:00):
Out and see the things that we need to change
and get better. Okay, Jefferson had four catches for forty
eight yards. That's it. So the question here Vikings receiver
Justin Jefferson just heard the sound bite they're saying. He's
frustrated they lose the same things they say every single
week and they keep losing, expecting things to change. How

(19:23):
do you interpret the meaning of this? So this isn't
just venting, this venting, This is not just venting here.
This is going to the hospital. And it's code read
it sounded if you listen closely, like McCarthy is causing
Justin Jefferson to think that the Viking franchise is insane,

(19:48):
because isn't that insanity the textbook Einstein insanity. The line
is that, well, you do the same thing over and
over again expecting a different outcome, kind of like the
Minnesota Vikings with JJ McCart they keep sending him out there.
It's like Justin Jefferson's like, this is he's implying it's insane.
What's going on here that the guy's not getting any better?

(20:09):
So how do you interpret the meaning of what Justin
Jefferson had to say, Well, it's pretty clear. As we said,
it's code read. It's like, hey, listen, this is insane.
We're doing the same thing every game and nothing's changing here.
And Jefferson is telegraphing the frustration because it's rinse and
repeat every week, rinse and repeat, and that's how it goes.

(20:32):
It's NFL cycle of failure, the cycle of failure. And
he said in himself, this is every single week, every
single expecting things to change. And that tells you everything.
It's not the effort for the Minnesota Vikings. It's not
the play calling. It's the quarterback, dummy, it's the quarterback.

(20:53):
McCarthy doesn't have to worry about being the goat. He's
the warn. Now what is the worn? What does that mean? Wr?
And that is the worst of right now? Warn, that's
a spin off not to go, not to go the warn,
the worst of right now. McCarthy has been about as

(21:15):
intimidating as a wet sponge when he's been playing quarterback
for the Minnesota Vikings. He averaged four point six yards
per pass attempt. In this particular game against the Packers.
That is check down, Charlie, that's checkdown. Purgatory is what
that is for the Minnesota Vikings in this particular game.
And wait, there's more. At a couple of picks for

(21:36):
those are at the end of the game. For the Vikings,
one fumble, although it was recovered. Remember of fumbles a
fifty to fifty raffle ball. Every time you fumble, both
teams have a fifty to fifty chance of recovering said fumble.
Very little pulse for the Vikings offense. They're the offense
was essentially in a body bag. Body bag bod is

(22:00):
what they were in in this game. And this is
the worst case scenario for the Purple People leaders. The
red shirt a player and that's what this was. He
was hurt, but he got all the mental reps. JJ
McCarthy and all you geniuses. Every NFL draft we have
the same conversation, do you play the guy? Do you
not play the guy? And everyone's oh, you got to

(22:22):
rest the player, you got to leave him on the sidelines,
let him learn by osmosis. Okay, well macarthy did that.
He didn't play. He was hurt. He went through training
camp and then the rest of the year. He just
kind of soaked everything in And how's that working out?
How is that working out? Red shirt rookie season. So

(22:43):
he's a red shirt rookie, second year player and he's
not growing. It is getting pretty bad, pretty bad. You
drafted a guy you thought he played a lot at Michigan,
although he didn't have that many reps throwing the football,
But you look at him, it's like you drafted him
development develop a player. He's got the you get the

(23:04):
Geiger counter out, the radiation is off the boards here.
He can't even get close to JJ McCarthy's been so bad,
and you're wasting a prime year of Justin Jefferson's career.
Congratulations on that. Jefferson got the bag. What's in the bag?
You got a lot of money, money, money money, good frame,

(23:24):
its good player and normally it doesn't matter who the
quarterback is. If you have a good playmaker, you're going
to get stats. Somehow, JJ McCarthy is so bad. How
bad is he? He's so bad that Jefferson is not
even getting the stats. He usually gets two touchdowns all
year if my math is correct for Justin Jefferson two

(23:48):
and so you can lead the league in some categories,
but the touchdowns are just not there. And this is
a guy that has led the NFL in so many
categories as a receiver, and this year it's just something sideways.
I wonder what that could be. I wonder what that
could be. So it's a quagmire, is what it is.
The Vikings offense is playing in quicksand at this particular point,

(24:10):
and every week, as Justin Jefferson pointed out, every week
they promised change, although they don't change the quarterback. They
keep sitting the quarterback out there. And so it's kind
of like the coaching staff is painting the windows while
the burning building is burn burn, burn, burn burn. The

(24:31):
building they're painting is on fire. That's what's going on.
Their losses are piling up and they're poisoning the locker
room with one incomplete JJ McCarthy pass at a time.

Speaker 2 (29:56):
Thing, hey but you know, what the coach should be
happy they they got The Daniel jones as a. Bargain
they should be happy that they're sending tickets over there
and doing something. Good but they can't be too mad
at this.

Speaker 1 (30:06):
Guy, well the problem is they have to decide where
they want to pay him for how many how many
years they want to pay? Him how much? Money, uh
he's starting to go the wrong direction, here there's. Starting
it's starting to crack a little. Bit that's the.

Speaker 2 (30:19):
Issue two, years deal found or.

Speaker 1 (30:22):
Something they should keep them.

Speaker 4 (30:22):
Go so they got to let them.

Speaker 1 (30:23):
Go they, don't you, know they don't do so much.
Money all, Right just again for the, record you believe
That Dak prescott is the m V, p the guy

Okay i'll Call i'll call You i'll call you when
they make the, pick and, uh you know you're telling

Buggotti but be safe about. There all, right, man There's,

(31:07):
bugatti the truck of driving. Around hello To danny De,
vito everyone's favorite trash man in The boston. Area Hello,
Danny welcome mister.

Speaker 2 (31:17):
Mallan what's going? On say about the Toilet? Bowl that
is The. Raiders you, know this kid Comes sandy who
can't even play in the. LEAGUE i don't Think, ben
and he lets he goes out there and beats Uh
Geno smith and The. RAIDERS i had money in The.
RAIDERS i THOUGHT i thought they were gonna put some

(31:37):
pressure on that kid who has no business being out,
there and they didn't do. Nothing, ben there's no pressure.

Speaker 4 (31:46):
Take.

Speaker 1 (31:47):
Hold but the fact is that Shoulder sanders didn't really
play that, Well so you were right that he wouldn't play,
well but you miscalculated how Bad Gino smith. Is, oh
and this is an, embarrassment and that's On Tom. Brady
Tom brady signed off on. That he, said this is
a guy they gave him a two year extension when

(32:09):
he came over From. Seattle the guy couldn't play In,
seattle and they had better players around him In, seattle
and now now he's with The, raiders he got worse
players around ten. Sacks ten? Sacks how? Bad how? Bad how?
Bad how bad a? Quarterback are you to get sacked ten?
Times at some, point don't you, DECIDE i don't, know
throw the ball away? Occasionally how about?

Speaker 2 (32:30):
That it is. Ridiculous you cannot get drun ten? Times
then you can't do. That and, uh the other, kid
like you said he hadn't played, good was most of
the brown well.

Speaker 1 (32:41):
Shooter sanders. Said there were two plays where he connected
on big broken plays and got more than half of
his yards on two. Passes the rest of the, game
he was very. Good i'm, Gonna i'm, Gonna i'll do
a DEEP i don't. Know if he can't, play he
didn't play well in this. Game although the numbers if
you didn't watch the, game the low information fan like
The Deon sanders fan boys in the, media it, was,

(33:03):
oh he averaged ten yards per past that's. True he
had a sixty six yard pass play and a fifty
two yard pass play that was right. There that's one
hundred and what is the math on that one hundred
and eighteen yards passing on those two. Plays that means
the rest of the game he had less than one.

Speaker 2 (33:20):
Hundred, yes exactly. Right so bet against The browns next.
Week they should lose that. Game bet against The. Browns
and it's a shame The. Vikings they don't have a.
Guy that's another guy that's that's got BIG's two over.
There he can't play in the. League and it's shame
because that team is a lord with talent on offense

(33:41):
and they have a good. COACH i think he's a
very good coach they have over, there but he's really you,
know it's all over The vikings against the quarterback. Play
he can't play in the. League, oh there's a couple
issues there without these quarterbacks.

Speaker 1 (33:55):
Out, there, well, yes and anyone said that O'Connell's a
quarterback whisper and all. That, WELL i guess he's met
his match now WITH jj, McCarthy because McCarthy doesn't he's
not getting. BETTER i know that he's about the. Same he.
Stinks he's stunk it early. On he still.

Speaker 2 (34:11):
Stinks, yeah and The bucks quit then that. GAME i
know you said it was all by. Halftime it was
over the first. QUARTER i had money on The. BUCKS
i doubled down AND i had him plus a couple of.
TOUCHDOWN i had him plus seven and a half and
plus fourteen and a, half AND i thought would be
a close. Game and you know how that.

Speaker 4 (34:31):
Went it.

Speaker 1 (34:31):
WAS i ALSO i also thought THAT i also thought
The bucks would play well and The Baker baker came
out and. Didn't he just was. Bad it was a
bad day and he got. Hurt it was a bad.

Speaker 2 (34:41):
Day he quit a halftime, PROBABLY i don't know if
he was. HURT i, mean he just checked out of
that probably any.

Speaker 1 (34:47):
Change, yeah you knew right. Away The rams came, down

he looked like h and crap and, crap absolute.

Trap well he did it in the beginning of the.
Game obviously he, settled he settled, in but he. Didn't
that was not a great. Start and the FIRST i
WAS i was slipping, around SO i didn't watch every
play of that, game but in the first half he
didn't look very good WHEN i was.

Speaker 2 (35:33):
Watching oh, yeah he threw a couple of balls that
were bad in that first. Half And jamar chase. It
jamark chasing that. Game they was probably winning that. Game
