Speaker 1 (00:27):
Hello, Welcome in side our two, The Jason Smith Show
with my bes friend Mike Harmon. Ehe live for the
Tirack dot Com Studios. Tirac dot com. I hope you

hazard protection at over ten thousand recommended IT installers, Tirac
dot Com is the way tire buying should be. Early
(00:49):
in the fourth quarter, it's the Eagles who now have
the lead over the Packers thirty one to twenty six.
Saquon Barkley now having a huge nut, just ripped off
a thirty four yard run. He's got ninety four yards
receiving to go along with twenty three ninety three yards
rushing to go along with twenty three yards receiving. Three
(01:10):
touchdowns on the night, and the Eagles are in the
red zone right now looking for more. This could get
away from the Packers pretty fast because down five another touchdown,
it doesn't seem like either defense can really stop the other.
But boy, I'll tell you a missed field goal a
few moments ago by Brandon Arvison from forty three yards
(01:31):
could have cut this to a two point lead kept
it close. It was a huge miss for the Packers,
and the best thing I can say Mike is, at
at least for Green Bay, it's somebody new missing big kicks,
so it's not the It's not Andrews Carlson again, who
missed forty seven kicks last year. At least if somebody
new missing it. It's like I feel like with the
Mets bullpen. Hey, when the Mets bullpen blows a bunch
(01:52):
of games, I'm like, let's just trade the bullpen sight
unseen for another team's bullpen, because I don't care if
the other team's bullpen is terrible. At least it's new
eyes blowing games and I don't have to see the
same guys. I guess what you could say at least
is a new guy not making kicks, so it's not boy,
we're still hold on to the old guy who couldn't
make any kicks.
Speaker 3 (02:08):
Psychologically that helps you get through that. Packer fans right
now are just wondering why their defense. Not only are
there large gaping holes in the secondary something they're used to,
they're getting absolutely run over downfield. I mean, you're just
watching Barkley bully people, and I just sent you a
tweet that just went out from Micah Parsons, which is
(02:31):
just absolutely fabulous when it comes down to evaluating this game. Quote,
the Giants should be under investigation. So here's a guy
that's not looking forward to seeing this offensive line at
sa Quon Barkley in division for another couple of games
as we get ready for the rest of this campaign.
(02:52):
But big plays all around and the receivers starting to
get a little bit of the flow. Jalen Hurts after
roughs start, has for the most part played fairly clean football,
although he just got away with what might have been
a ninety yard touchdown return up the sideline but for
(03:12):
a matter of inches. So yeah, just chaos suing. But
the Packers missing that field goal and a big opportunity.
It doesn't matter though. Betters are already paid, they got
the over.
Speaker 1 (03:22):
Yeah, but look but look what because this is the thing.
This goes back to what we talked about a couple
of weeks ago with the Giants. Everything makes sense if
you understand the Giants are tanking for next year. Everything
makes sense. Everything they've done, the lack of players they
brought in in the offseason, letting Saquon Barkley go, coming
(03:42):
back to Daniel Jones for one more year, everything makes sense.
Right now. You could sit here and say, well, why
wouldn't Okay, why wouldn't you try, Why wouldn't you just
you know, try to do something if you could. Well,
here's the thing. If you're bad after this year, Joe
Shane is not getting another shot at it, and neither
(04:03):
is Brian Dable. Like, you're gonna have a new GM
and a new head coach, and guess what, the new
GM and the new head coach are gonna want their
own quarterback in right, That's why they didn't go up.
They love JJ McCarthy. But wait a minute, they didn't
move up to get JJ McCarthy like he was he
was the guy. He was linked to the Giants as
soon as Michigan won the National Championship. He was linked
to them. Wait a minute, but they didn't go get
(04:23):
a quarterback. No, it doesn't make any sense. We know
Daniel Jones stinks. They didn't go out and get anybody
because they know this is a year where we're just
gonna go out there, we're gonna play and maybe it's
Shador Sanders, maybe it's Carson Beck, maybe it's somebody else,
but we're gonna get our quarterback next year because it's
gonna be a new head coach and a new GM
and a new regime, and they're gonna pick their own guys,
which is what you want, right. You don't want to say, Okay,
(04:44):
well we drafted JJ McCarthy and we don't know how
he's gonna be. And now there's a new coach coming
in that maybe runs a system that is not gonna
take advantage what JJ McCarthy does. Everything makes sense once
you understand, hey, the Giants are tanking. Did they really
want to keep, say Qui Barkley, they really want to get?
You saw how bad and hard knocks in the off
season that the ownership we really want to get and
(05:05):
they still let him go. And they still let him go.
So you all the talk to oh we really want
to get that was just for show. Understand the Giants
are tanking and that's why they let him go. Now,
am I one on Saquon Barkley is reborn? No, it's
game one, he's it's a new team. He wants to
come out big. I get it. Let you know, for
Saquon Barkley being the real thing, this is where you
got to get to the middle of season and see
(05:27):
where he's at, if he's still playing, if he's still
this effective. But for right now this part of the season,
he's playing great. And for the Giants, yeah, Barkley has
played well. For him, he's been their big weapon, went
healthy off and on for the past five years. But
when you understand that they're tanking, letting Saquon Barkley go
makes sense. Everything they've done makes sense. It's all about
this year is gonna be whatever it's gonna be. And
(05:49):
if we're somehow good, great, right, if we're somehow good
and Daniel Jones is great again and he's like he
was two years ago, and we find a way into
the playoffs, and Brian Dable is back to being the
coach he was when he's rise everybody in the NFL. Awesome.
We don't need to start over again, all right. We
feel like we're back. So the Giants are playing with
house money right now. If we're great, we're gonna keep
it going, and if not, we're gonna blow it up.
(06:10):
And that's why they did their own version of being
all in this year. Let the Jerry John, Hey, we're
all in on this year. What does that mean? We're
not gonna do anything and if we're good, great, and
if not, we're blowing it up. So we're not gonna
go get a quarterback. We're not gonna keep saquon bar,
We're not gonna do any of these things. We're just
gonna have what we have and go from there.
Speaker 3 (06:26):
Now, what you're selling me, if I'm going to just
summarize it, is that they were all just really good
actors on Hard Knocks and eron television Layers of Aaron Television.
See I chalked it up to bad actors as in
inept at their jobs. But the way you describe it
is like they were Shakespearean master thespians between Shane wearing
(06:50):
it from his kid, Hey, can we do that again?
Speaker 4 (06:53):
All right?
Speaker 3 (06:53):
Tell me how dumb I am and which quarterback should
be draft that's kind of what you just said there.
And Saquon oh, don't leave either way. Yeah, it all
plays out that if the numbers are to be believed
and what we think is gonna lay out, Like, I
don't know how good or bad Daniel Jones is. He
wasn't great the first couple of games last year, but
(07:15):
then he got hurt. To hear the offseason talk was
like he went through a full seventeen game slate and
was just awful from pillar to post, which ain't true
because that means you all slept walked through the Tommy
DeVito era, which I know you didn't because you didn't
couldn't wait to tell me how great he was at
every turn and tell me his life story and all
(07:38):
this stuff, went the restaurant when his agent got screwy
and whatever else, I mean, all of those things.
Speaker 4 (07:43):
So yeah, they're interesting.
Speaker 3 (07:46):
And Barkley, look, there's a lot of talent on this
Philadelphia squad, and it's almost as if I cursed them,
because as soon as I said it hurts, it's played
more efficiently. He throws an interception in the end zone.
Now part of it looked like aj Brown lost his
footing go figure once again in the end zone as
he went to set up and.
Speaker 4 (08:04):
Coming back for the ball.
Speaker 3 (08:05):
But either way it goes down as an interception and
you move on. But you know, when we're talking about
the division and the Cowboys and Parsons chiming in, however
sloppy this game may be, I don't think this division
is a race at all, which is why you can
make the case for the Commanders to suddenly be an
(08:26):
upstart squad because I think those other two teams are
going to be mediocre at best, so they can they
can fight and slap fight over mediocrity, and eventually you
will apologize to Sakwan Barkley.
Speaker 1 (08:37):
Now, why, Well, he's been off and on the last
few I don't need to apologize to anybody. I need
to apologize to him. He's been off and on. He's
been when he's been healthy. He was good at Tons
show and he's not been healthy, and other times he
hasn't been dominant. He's been a decent too, pretty good
running back for the last fight. But you know how
many guys are like that. There's lots of guys like.
Speaker 4 (08:56):
There's a lot of guys like that.
Speaker 3 (08:57):
By the way, I just just want to throw this
out all the fantasy football players out there, and I
know you number the millions in our audience across this globe.
Are you in the situation.
Speaker 4 (09:08):
Where you're starting Berkley in one league and playing him
in another?
Speaker 1 (09:11):
Let me know at Swollen.
Speaker 3 (09:13):
Dome at how about Apresca at Fox Sports Radio.
Speaker 1 (09:17):
So again, look, if you understand that the Giants are tanking,
it makes sense letting Saquon Barkley go. I'll hit up
Micah Parsons and kind of explain what that's all about to.
Speaker 3 (09:26):
Him now, speaking of the wall into him too.
Speaker 1 (09:30):
What Mike Harmon was trying to explain a couple of
minutes ago was there was a big turnover in the
end zone when it looked like the Eagles were going
in for a score that could have put them up
by as many as thirteen depending on what they decided
to do if we're going for two points. Instead, it
turned into an interception and the Packers take over again.
(09:50):
Slippery field. We've talked about it, We'll talk more about it,
and the Packers are now driving it down the field
down thirty one to twenty six. Ten minutes to go
in the fourth court, like the clock isn't really ticking.
They are in the red zone and could potentially go
up over the Eagles now again, still a lot of
time left. But boy, that turnover the Eagle sideline just
(10:10):
looks morose right now because they look like they could
have been going in for the kill shot and instead
aj Brown slips, the ball is picked off, and now
it's the Packers who have a chance to go up
in this game again. Thirty one to twenty six. They're
inside the twenty yard line, just under ten minutes left
to go in this one.
Speaker 4 (10:26):
Another big play for Jade Reid.
Speaker 3 (10:27):
He's up to one hundred and five yards on the
night after another big completion. Vic Fangio's defense has been
suspected at best.
Speaker 1 (10:35):
As long as he's not allowed to call timeouts, Vic
Fangil will be fine. I mean, I know you know what,
Vic Vangil, As long as you're not allowed to call
time bounsince five.
Speaker 3 (10:43):
Yes, see another part of yesterday's game that started to
get some run.
Speaker 1 (10:47):
Hey, looks Magnola call time out.
Speaker 4 (10:50):
He realized he's not a head coach, right.
Speaker 1 (10:53):
But how about we take a look at the games
on Sunday. I can't believe how many upsets specials I
have four week one in the NFL, two and zero
in college football last week. Excited about that little nervous
I have. I'm nervous that I have a lot of
upset specials to pick up. Why not, right, So I'll
kick things off and I'll tell you I'll go with
(11:14):
one of the big ones on Sunday. We talked about
it a few minutes ago. Tom Brady's gonna call it
the Cowboys and the Browns. For some reason, the Cowboys
are getting three and it's it just seems weird that
these are the Browns who have a really bad situation
at quarterback because Deshaun Watson is terrible.
Speaker 3 (11:32):
Wow, and he's also dealing with the family thing. He
had the loss in the families right and anyways hurt.
Speaker 1 (11:38):
Yeah, there's a lot. There's a lot you don't know
about the Browns where they're gonna be like coming into
the skinwalk. The Browns are a talented roster and they
have a really good team. But still here's the Cowboys
coming in. They're all pissed off. The one thing I
can say is Jerry Jones is everybody mad and get
everybody mad. Nobody's getting paid only CD lambage, but still
people are mad they didn't go in and get players
in the offseason. The Cowboys early on is kind of
(12:02):
It's kind of where they need to be. They need
to be pissed off and sharp, and we're gonna see
them out of the gate. They're gonna win this game.
I'll take the three points. I won't need them, but
I'll still take them because you know they're offered to me.
But yeah, number one upset special. Give me the Cowboys
getting three against the Browns.
Speaker 3 (12:17):
Total sitting at forty eight in this one, two of
my favorite quarterbacks to watch square off in Buffalo. Now
I have the Buffalo Bills racing all the way to
New Orleans when it's all said and done. But they're
gonna struggle in this one. They're gonna eke out a win.
But give me Arizona and the upstart Cardinals with Kyler
Murray and the speed that they've added at wide receiver,
(12:40):
the power that is Connor, and of course the video
game tendencies as a runner for Kyler Murray to get
us within the six and a half.
Speaker 1 (12:48):
Oh seeah, I love the but I always love what
I can say I don't need the points, but I understand.
I understand you need the points, buddy.
Speaker 4 (12:55):
You always need the points, the points, I understand. Oh yeah, yeah, yeah.
Speaker 3 (12:59):
Look, I suppose you could probably go to the sports
book and just say I don't but that's where you
just say, I'll take them on the money line.
Speaker 1 (13:06):
Yeah, yeah, exactly. Listen, I don't need the points, so
you want the money line. Yeah, but it sounds better
if I say I don't need the points, but I
kind of really do want the points. You understand what
I'm trying to do here, sir, Sir?
Speaker 3 (13:16):
What you want a powerful discussion? It might just say
I don't need good points, sir. Why don't you just
come back and tell me what you want to bet. Okay,
you're betting a team, you're telling me what the points.
Just come back where you're ready, all right, I don't
care what you want to do. The other game, I'll
give you for now. They're getting four on the road,
I get it. But give me the Rams over the
(13:39):
Lions in the Big Stafford Golf Bowl. The Rams defense
is going to surprise you.
Speaker 1 (13:45):
They're going to surprise a lot of people look, there
might pick for the Super Bowl this year. I know
that it seems like a big turnover for the Rams defensively,
but there's nobody I trust more in the NFL than
Sean McVeigh. Every move he's ever made has worked, not
one time. I can go boys. Sean mcpay completely screwed
the Rams by that no doesn't matter, so I have
(14:06):
complete confidence he has fixed the wobbliness of the defense
and coming in, I know how big they are offensively,
how many points they're gonna put on the board. You
have a little bit of an injury issue with Jamir Gibbs.
The Lions coming off the NFC title game last year,
now they're part of the hunted. I don't think this
means suddenly the Lions are gonna lay an egg. But
(14:27):
I see a big fireworks night and I will take
the Rams thirty eight to thirty five in this big
night for Stafford, big night for both offenses. When it
comes down to it, the Rams defense holds just enough,
they get a big turnover or two here, and you
start thinking, Okay, maybe this is gonna be it for
the Rams. I'll take the Rams. I'm not gonna need
(14:47):
the points but again, I'll take the four points.
Speaker 3 (14:50):
Fifty one the total, the post, Aaron Donald era and
a little bit of a banged up secondary.
Speaker 4 (14:56):
That's my only concern for you, my brother.
Speaker 3 (14:58):
But Miami, one of the other games that we're expecting
a ton of points. Forty nine and a half is
the total. Almost eighty percent of the money is on
the over in this one. But my other AFC title
contender coming out of this game, the Jacksonville Jaguars getting
three and a half on the road taking down to
a tonguea Bai Looa and company. Bang bang, let's go. Wow,
(15:21):
You're gonna go and get book it.
Speaker 1 (15:23):
Even though we interviewed Raheem Moster and he told us
how big Mike McDaniel's feed are, You're still gonna bet again? Wow, Wow,
Raheem most It's never gonna talk to you again.
Speaker 3 (15:32):
Man, No he will, because I still have great hopes
for them for the season. But no, not in this one.
Not in the opener. The Jaguars plus three and a half.
Speaker 1 (15:44):
So we have more upset specials coming right again. I
got five big upset specials. I like five five count
I got five. We'll get to the more coming up.
Later on this hour, but straight ahead we'll have more
on the Packers and the Eagles, plus why I'm even
more worried about the Ravens than I was a night ago.

Speaker 1 (17:43):
Sports Radio, The Jason Smith Show with my best friend
Mike Harmon, Yes, sir, Live from the tyrack dot Com studios.
And here we sit. Finally this game is nearing its conclusion.
Speaker 4 (17:57):
Dragging it along.
Speaker 1 (17:58):
Yeah, thunder five minutes left to go. The Eagles lead
the Packers thirty one twenty nine. Eagles have the ball
near midfield. Eagles looked like they were going in for
the kill, but aj Brown slips and falls a common
theme tonight, the slipping and falling. Instead, Packers pick it off,
go down the field, but they get stopped. They settle
(18:20):
for a field goal. So now it's a two point
lead from the Eagles again, just under five minutes left
to go this game in Brazil. Will have more on
this coming up in a few minutes, but coming off
of last night, I'd be look, it's gonna be hard
to uh top the drama that we saw at the
end of the game last night, with Isaiah likely three
(18:41):
inches away and maybe a pair of white cleats from
having a touchdown that would have tied the game against
the Chiefs and maybe could have won it if they
went for two, because they were gonna go for two
if likely you had a touchdown, And look, it was
a big deal, right, It's a big deal. It almost happened,
And we saw the Ravens talk about it after the game,
and they talked about some of the plays, and we
(19:02):
saw Lamar Jackson miss what could have been a wide
open touchdown on third down, and when the game ended,
it was Yeah. I was kind of disheartened for the
other thirty one teams in the NFL because if the
Chiefs can play their B or B minus game and
still win a game like that, I mean, obviously this
means when they get it going and they kept playing
(19:23):
more games because they're only in Week one, Yeah, things
are gonna get even better for the Chiefs. I know
Isaiah Likely talked about it after the game last night
and said, oh, this is as good as they could play.
Good luck in the postseason, dude, it's it's the first
week of September, all right. We just made it past
Labor Day and he's talking like the regular season's done
and we're playing our first playoff game on Sunday. Okay,
(19:45):
I understand, But there's a whole new thing, Mike. Why
I'm concerned about the Ravens specifically following this game last night,
and this is the way they went to the wall
disputing the call at the end that Likely was out
of bounds. I don't understand. I don't understand. Yes, it
(20:06):
was close, it's not like Likely had his whole foot
out of bounds, but still if you're four inches out
of bounds, you're out of bounds. If you're eight inches
out of bounds, you're out of bounds. It's like offside
in soccer. Either you're off side of or not you're
in bounds, you're out of bounds. There's no ahe that
was close enough. But all the comments that have come
out in the last I would say twelve to sixteen
hours make make me worry about the Ravens because they
(20:30):
all seem to think they were done wrong with the touchdown.
Here's Likely talking about how he was stunned that the
touchdown wasn't allowed to stand.
Speaker 5 (20:39):
This is probably the worst game we're gonna play all year,
so this is the best that they got.
Speaker 1 (20:44):
I mean, good luck in the postseason. No, no, no,
the one where he's talking about the uh Patrick play,
the one where he's talking about the the last play.
They'd disagree with that.
Speaker 4 (20:53):
Do we have that? Okay?
Speaker 1 (20:57):
R I like how you came out with a very
low voice. Don't have that one, Jason, we don't have one.
So I'll just recap for you. Uh So likely not
happy that it was overturned. Lamar Jackson said, I thought
it was a touchdown. When it happened. I still think
it was a touchdown. Other players have talked about they
were stunned that it got that it got overturned. Guys,
I don't know what to tell you. This is. This
(21:19):
is about as easy as it can say, as easy
as I can tell you. It was how to bounds.
I know it was close. I feel bad for you.
Do you want me to give you the touchdown because
it was? Oh it was Look, it was so close. Hey,
should have made the touchdown to play before if you
really wanted to, you really want to feel bad, should
have made lamar Jack, should have made that easy throat
as a flowers who was just wide open, right jah.
But no, But like the Ravens, like they like, they
(21:42):
they're upset that this wasn't made a call for them.
I get you're mad you got the loss, But mentally,
where are you at when you are denying facts? Like
we we we we can't accept this loss because, oh,
we don't think we lost the game. Like you could
tell still the way they were talking about this after
some of the things that were said today, they still
don't believe they lost the game. Oh, it should have
(22:03):
been a touchdown, and like we would have gotten the
two point conversion.
Speaker 4 (22:06):
Next.
Speaker 1 (22:07):
Yeah, I get the confidence you have that you're gonna
get the two point conversion win the game. But bottom
line is, you were out of bounds. You lost. You
have to accept that you lost this game, and they're
not accepting that, Hey, the mistakes we made, this happened.
This happened, This happened. That's that's how that's what you do.
After every game you know you're not gonna go forward.
You're not You're not gonna suddenly just say, well, we're
ignoring this and we're gonna petition the NFL to give
(22:28):
us a win because we totually would have won the game.
Like where are you at mentally when you can't accept
that you lost? And I don't mean a loss, like, hey,
we can't accept we got blown out mentally, I can't
handle it. I just mean accepting that you lost the game,
and you lost it fair and square because clearly he
was out of bounds. And I don't get all of that.
And I wonder about there that where they are mentally
(22:49):
where they need to be if you can't accept that, hey,
this call was made, it was the right call, and
you lost the game.
Speaker 4 (22:55):
Yeah, I think you have.
Speaker 3 (22:56):
Plenty of things you can argue about. You know, we
joked about the Spagnolo being able to call time out
at a halftime. We joked about some of the quote
points of emphasis as related to the offensive line and alignment,
and they're getting called for things whereby there's plenty of
video that would show indisputably that you're getting false starts
(23:21):
and the extra step on the tackles for Kansas City
dropping into pass coverage. All of those things are true.
You want to talk about those, I'll have those conversations
with you. Those are fun, those are legit, and those
are debating how we're adjudicating a game. Here his toe
came in and came down out of bounce, right, it's
not a hey, you were really close, and it's better
for the league and a great narrative. If that touchdown's
(23:43):
upheld and then we're fighting for two points, that's great. No,
in theory, that's fine. You want to run that simulation
on your video game, have had it, You want to
go replay it in the backyard with your jackass buddies,
go ahead and do it.
Speaker 4 (23:57):
The rules of the game are very conclusive when it
comes here.
Speaker 3 (24:01):
This isn't a Hey, let's go up to the booth
and see whether the the catch is good.
Speaker 4 (24:06):
Does he bobble it?
Speaker 3 (24:07):
Does he control it all the way through the ground,
all of those things that we might fight on. Hey,
the chain gang is out.
Speaker 4 (24:13):
Did they get it right? No, we're not talking about this.
Speaker 3 (24:15):
Your foot came down out of bouts period the end.
Speaker 1 (24:21):
You know, I a friend of mine who I was
really good friends with in college. He used to do that,
like if his team lost on Sunday in a like
on the field, like he's an Eagles fan, Like if
the Eagles lost on Sunday to the Cowboys or the
Falcons or the forty nine ers, the first thing he
would do is turn on Madden and play that game again,
like I'm gonna I'm gonna show you. I'm gonna show
(24:43):
you who can win this game. Like he would do
it all the time. And you tell me, his wife
would always say, you get even with them money, all right,
you go get even with him, like you know, been
watching football for four hours now, Oh now you're gonna
go play a video game. You go get even with him.
You go get even with him. That's great. I'll show
you about winning a game. I'll go play this. Look,
I've played this simulation. We all played Madden today and
we all beat the Chiefs. Every single time. My homes
(25:05):
through five interceptions. He was terrible. He couldn't do anything
against us. We won the game. I get that part
of it, but you have to understand and except we lost,
move on, use it as motivation you whatever you need
to do, but understand that you lost, fair and square.
It happened. I mean, we're not gonna take any responsibility
for the misplay on third down. Lamar Jackson basically throwing
(25:26):
Rashod Bateman under the bus by saying I thought he
was gonna sit. You still threw the ball to the
right side, like you thought he was still gonna keep running.
So don't tell me you thought he was gonna sit.
What are you doing? What the hell? Man? Like? I
really I wonder mentally where the Ravens are at after
this game and sometimes one while Look, the NFL losses
can really just pile on right because they can be
(25:48):
so devastating. It's why you can't play every week like
it's the super Bowl. You have to be able to
take a win and loss, treat it for what it
is and move on. But in the NFL, more than
any other sport, like a loss like that can fester.
And and if you're not mentally in the place you
need to be for your next game, even though you
have ten days to get ready for it, guess what
you're gonna get. You're gonna get dumped in that game.
(26:08):
Something we're going to and and sometimes a week one
loss if you can't deal with it the right way
just absolutely can completely torpedo your season. And I worry
for the Ravens on that because I after hearing them today,
I'm like, I don't know that they really get what
happened last night, Like what do they think there was
some sort of stuff that was done bad against them,
like they were ripping the referees after Like Likely had
(26:30):
a comment where he said, Oh, the referees have to
live with that. No, well, you know, they have to
live with what they did. It's like like something to
that effect like that, to live with what they did
or we'll see them again. Like the referees made a
call that was obvious wear white cleats. I think Mahomes
might have been right. If you wear white cleats, maybe
that happens you were black cleats. It's clear to see
you are out of bounds. I mean, you're out of bounds.
We have the technology, right, I don't. I don't get
(26:52):
what the Ravens were going at with this, and really
I wonder where they're at mentally now for next week
and beyond. This is a team that, hey, went incredibly
you know, a step away from the super Bowl last year.
Does that mean they're gonna get there this year? Or
suddenly we look at them and go, wow, this is
a great team and they're zero to four. They've not
gotten over that Week one loss. They never get over
that Week one loss to Kansas City, And I can
see that being a storyline for them as the season
(27:14):
goes on.
Speaker 3 (27:15):
Yeah, because we'll tie back in the likely sound that
we did play regarding you know, the hey, they better,
they better hope and blah blah blah that because this
is the worst we're gonna be.
Speaker 4 (27:28):
Isn't that generally the case? And I know we do
this oftentimes.
Speaker 3 (27:32):
Where it's like, well, our team's gonna get better, we're
gonna gel, but you're not. It doesn't matter how much
you're together and how cohesive you get. You know, you
didn't take any snapster in the preseason. That doesn't matter.
You're not getting any better, but we will. It's it's
the dumbest thing in the world. And he's a guy,
a champion, and and bang the drum for saying, hey,
(27:53):
breakout player or whatever. Just sound like a dope, And
I appreciate you. You're saying, hey, our team's gonna get
better and there's a lot to grow because one thing
we certainly chronicled a lot. Go find the podcast live
and in living color, in game and then post is
that that receiving core is gonna have to grow up
and become much bigger if they're gonna go anywhere in
(28:14):
this crowded afc Lamar Jackson cannot carry the ball as
many times as he did. I would expect you're able
to get some sort of balance with Derrick Henry at
some point.
Speaker 4 (28:26):
But is that gonna be consistent?
Speaker 3 (28:28):
No, I think you're gonna have to go back to
the drawing board for Todd Monkin. He's got some heavy
tasks ahead of him here. But this part of the
argument just absolutely silliness. Look, you're not lying if you
believe it's true. It's the old costanza. So if this
puts the chip on your shoulder. That makes you great
going forward, Okay, but if not, it could derail you
(28:51):
real fast.
Speaker 2 (28:52):
They're all the kids, man.
Speaker 1 (28:56):
So again, I'm telling you I've seen it happen so
much many times before, where sometimes a week one loss
just hangs over you so much your season never gets
over it. And that I'm looking at that right now
for the Ravens, because you got accept Hey, it was close,
you lost, Okay, No, no, no, no, I can't believe they
did that. Wait, what what do you mean he can't
believe they did?
Speaker 3 (29:15):
But Jason, just remember this. Just because you're paranoid doesn't
mean they're not out to get you.
Speaker 1 (29:20):
This is you know, this is true. This is true.
This is true. It's like John Travolta tells Uma Thurman
in Pulp Fiction when they're having the argument over whether
Marcello's threw Tony Rocky Horror over the off a balcony
because he gave Uma Thurman a foot massage. And Uma
Thurman says, don't you think that's successive? That he gave
me a foot massage and Marcello's threw him over the balcony,
(29:42):
And John Travolta says no, I think it's successive. Doesn't
mean it didn't happen, right So that's kind of where
I'm at. That's how I want to know. The end
doesn't mean it didn't happen. Right now, we are just
under two minutes left to go in Brazil. The Eagles
have the two point lead on the Packers. They are
inside the five yard line, second in goal. The Packers
(30:04):
have just called their last time out, so maybe they
get the ball back. Maybe they don't find out more.
What's trending right now in the wide world of sports,
it's special Delivery Steve to say your SD.
Speaker 6 (30:15):
Well, just about everything has happened in this NFL game
in Brazil, except maybe a rabbit running onto the field
and into the end zone. That happened in the Northwestern
game tonight.
Speaker 1 (30:24):
By the way, that north was that Northwestern's only touchdown tonight.
I'm sorry I did.
Speaker 3 (30:29):
They chase him properly for a touchdown, and the animal
was the only thing they had good sideline seats.
Speaker 6 (30:35):
We mentioned it on a prior show. There's just no
room there to actually put stands on top of Lake
Michigan at the Quasi stadium they're using for a couple
of years that game.
Speaker 3 (30:44):
But Quasi Stadium. Come on, it's just a small stadium.
Speaker 6 (30:48):
It's like twelve thousand seats. It's not exactly Okay.
Speaker 4 (30:52):
You were hanging out in a soccer medium for a
number of years. Don't not doing this.
Speaker 1 (30:56):
It's gonna be. That's gonna be the best part of
tonight is it? After this game is over, because it's
probably not going to overtime, We're going to get the
fourth quarter of Duke and Northwestern, two smart football teams
at ten to ten going to the fourth quarter.
Speaker 6 (31:07):
As I mentioned on the show before, this would be
great to attend a game there right on top of
the action, unless you're you know, in the top of
the end zone seats. But aside from that, right on
top of the field, it's late third quarter on FS one.
Northwestern and Duke tied ten to ten. Meanwhile, yes, the
Packers are out of timeouts a minute twelve to go.
Eagles holding on to a lead of thirty one to
(31:28):
twenty nine over Green Bay. The Packers rookie kicker missed
a forty three yard field goal in the second half,
and remember the Packers were stopped on a two point
try in the first half. They had originally kicked and
then there was a penalty on Philly, so they said, oh,
we'll be closer, let's try for two, and they were stopped.
Josh Jacobs was and now they're losing by two late
in the game. Jacobs, by the way, had a couple
(31:50):
of long run second half tonight, so he's up to
eighty yards rushing fifteen carries. But Saquon Barkley and his
Eagles debut with three total touchdowns. He has twenty four
attempts on the ground, one hundred and nine yards rushing.
Jalen Hurts with two touchdowns, three turnovers. He's just fumbled
one of the brotherly love pushes. My goodness it wasn't recovered.
Speaker 1 (32:13):
But the goal. Wow, they've Jason right now. They're saying, hey, Jason,
I know you just made one hundred million dollars for
your podcast. Can you go to give you two hundred
million to come back in place?
Speaker 6 (32:26):
Can we just sub you in for this play?
Speaker 1 (32:30):
Wow?
Speaker 6 (32:30):
That is let's just say that has not been consistent
for the Eagles offense this evening. So thirty seconds left,
Eagles now out of time out, same as Green Bay,
Philly can kick the short field goal on fourth and
goal here and make it a five point advantage. We'll see.
Steelers quarterback Russell Wilson is questionable for Sunday with calf tightness.
(32:51):
Pittsburgh gave tight end Pat Fryarmouth a four year extension.
Bengals wide receiver Jamar Chase says he's a game time
decision Sunday. He wants to do contract. Bengals wide receiver
t Higgins is doubtful with a hamstring injury. Bears wide
receiver Keenan Allen is questionable with a heel injury, and
forty nine Ers running back Christian McCaffrey was limited in
practice again with a calf injury. At the US Open,
(33:13):
Taylor Fritz won his semi final against fellow American Francis
Tiafo in five sets, six to one in the fifth.
He'll face number one Yanick Center in Sunday's final. There
were four WNBA games tonight, wins for Atlanta in overtime
for Vegas. Chicago and Minnesota won at Indiana ninety nine
eighty eight. Caitlin Clark in the loss twenty five points,
(33:34):
eight rebounds, eight assists, seven turnovers. As for late night
Major League Baseball. The Cleveland lead is now two to
one at Dodger Stadium as they go to the seventh.
Because shohe Otani has hit his forty fifth home run
of the season, he has one hundred RBIs even. It's
currently the Padres ahead of the Giants for to one.
In the top of the seventh, Houston and Seattle each one.
(33:58):
Kansas City shut out Minnesota five nothing. Mets won their
eighth straight on a tenth inning homer six to four
over the Reds. Atlanta did win three to one over
Toronto behind Max Freed. Philly won at six straight and
victories for the Yankees and Baltimore. Updating, the field goal
is good a twenty one yarder from Jake Elliott Philadelphia
(34:18):
Eagles thirty four to twenty nine over Green Bay. Each
team out of timeouts under thirty seconds left back to you, Thank.
Speaker 1 (34:26):
You, Steve o So Now shoeo Tani is officially a
forty five forty five guy, all right, not forty forty
is forty five forty.
Speaker 6 (34:33):
Which has never been runs.
Speaker 1 (34:35):
Now, first, everything he does has never been done. Forty
five home runs, forty six stolen base is now five
home runs and four stolen bases, shy of being the
first ever fifty to fifty player in MLB history, just absurd.
So we'll have one update, ee mate, who knows, maybe
he gets up again. Stolen base another home run, we'll see,
(34:57):
but coming up next twenty seven as left to go.
As Steve de Seger said, field goal is up and
good for the Eagles. The Packers will get the ball left.
One last gas chance they need to get in the
end zone. Coming up next to talking about an incredible
Packers comeback or the Eagles holding on despite the fact
the Packers really still stinking the red zone and kicking
(35:18):
field goals. So it's a lot like last year. That's
coming up next right here, Jason and Mike, This is Fox.
Speaker 2 (35:25):
Be sure to catch live editions of The Jason Smith
Show with Mike Harmon weekdays at ten pm Eastern seven
pm Pacific on Fox Sports Radio and the iHeartRadio app.
Speaker 1 (35:36):
Well I said it was going to be tough to
top the drama of the end of the game last night,
but wow, we may be approaching it as well. The
Jason Smith Show with My best friend Mike Harmon live
from the Tirack dot Com Studios. The Eagles win it
over the Packers thirty four to twenty nine, the Packers
(36:03):
getting the ball back after the Eagles kick a field
goal to go up by five. This after the Eagles
fumble the snap on the toush push.
Speaker 4 (36:12):
Okay, you saw what I sent you out of that,
right yeah?
Speaker 1 (36:15):
Oh, Jason Kelsey already on Twitter with the Homer Simpson meme.
But here's the craziness that unfolded following that. So the
Eagles are up thirty four to twenty nine. There's twenty
seven seconds left in the game. Okay, the Eagles are
gonna kick off, Packers are gonna down at the end zone.
They'll take over at the thirty. No, no, no, Keishawn
(36:37):
Nixon decides, I'm gonna run it out from the end zone.
Speaker 4 (36:40):
Hero ball baby. Now.
Speaker 1 (36:42):
I don't know if this was called, if he got
the green light, or if this is something did on
his own, but this is a horrendous decision because I hey,
maybe we get a little bit of chaos and we run. Maybe,
but take the ball at the thirty take the ball
at the thirty twenty seven seconds get down there. Instead,
Nixon gets tackled the fifteen yard line, so not only
(37:03):
do the do they lose fifteen yards of field possession
because he gets tackled the fifteen but he kills five
seconds off the clock. So horrible decision. I feel bailed
like Bill Walton, a horrible Oh Snapper Jones, that was
the worst decision I've ever seen. So horrendous decision. Tribute
to Steve Snapper Jones and I did I got them both.
Speaker 4 (37:25):
INTA, that's great, That's what I mean. That's that's a twofer.
Speaker 1 (37:28):
So the Packers get a big completion down the sideline
from Jordan Love. Okay, got the ball right around midfield,
still about fifteen seconds left to go. It was, it was.
It was one of those gutsy throws. I think the
ball hissed out of Jordan Love's hands. It was fantastic.
Look I I it was. It's one of those plays
(37:49):
that makes you go wow, because you don't think you
can complete a pass like that to Jayden Reid because
there's gonna be some kind of coverage near midfield. But no,
he's able to come down with it great care staying
in bounds. Then the next play, Jordan Love is rushed
and he wants to get rid of the football because
there's no timeouts left, and he turns and he's facing
(38:11):
away from the end zone. Josh Jacobs is behind him.
Not sure if he was supposed to be blocking or not,
but Josh Jacobs is behind him, so he pitches the
ball to Jacob's Jacobs runs out of bounds to give
the Packers one more down to play with. However, they
would play this down without Jordan Love because in a
night where hey, everybody slips and falls on the field, no,
(38:31):
Jordan Love gets his left ankle stuck in the turf.
It looks like he's in a lot of pain. He
has to limp off. He is limping off the field
right now, walking under his own power a little bit better.
So that's a good sign for Jordan Love. But he
comes out of the game and it looks bad. Malik
Willis comes in for the Packers, doesn't even get his
(38:53):
final hail Mary off because he slips. Dude, throw the football.
I don't care what Malik Willis throw the football. You
can't get sacked on a hail mary. Throw the bleep
in football. But he gets sacked on the hail mary
and the Eagles hold on to win thirty four to
twenty nine and they win this game. But I you
know the big thing coming away for this. We'll get
to the Eagles part of it coming up next. Look
(39:14):
with the Eagles winning, Packers losing. But to encapsulate this game,
what a disaster of the game for the players and
the field, because all they did was slip all night long. Right,
it began with them slipping. They slipped in the middle
of the game, and they slipped at the end of
the game. Look, but Leek Willis slips and falls at
the end the game and can't get his hail Mary
off because he winds up getting sacked. And then you
have Jordan Love getting hurt on this field, on a
(39:36):
field where everybody else slipped. But no, no, my foot's
gonna get stuck. Everybody else's foot can slip. Hey take
the No, no, my foot's gonna get stuck. And I
get hurt. And and this is this is we started
the show with this. I can't get over the fact
that we play big games in the NFL all the time,
not even just the rinky dig ones every Sunday it
met Life, but Super Bowls and games overseas, and the
(39:58):
field is still in such a bad shape that the
player's health is at risk because they all slipped and
fell the entire game. They're so happy to be leaving,
I'm sure getting off this field. They never want to
see Brazil. They never want to see this field again.
Speaker 3 (40:11):
JJ Watt with the summary statement a little bit earlier tonight,
when he was asked on Twitter about to comment on
the slipping and talking about well, what about long spikes?
Speaker 4 (40:22):
Does that fix it? Wa quote?
Speaker 3 (40:24):
Soccer fields are made for speed and agility, smaller bodies
gliding across the surface with minimal contact. They're not properly
conditioned to have these size and strength of NFL players cutting,
pushing and driving all game on them. How many times? Look,
this is when we get to do the old Hey,
if you look at the All twenty two, watch the
defensive backs when they try to cut right wide receivers
(40:47):
with decided advantages all night, because otherwise it just looks
like both teams all their secondaries forgot how to play
football tonight with the number of big plays and wide
open spaces.
Speaker 4 (41:00):
You know, the pitch and catch kind of thing. Jayde Reid, you.
Speaker 3 (41:02):
Know that was a great play at the end, but
otherwise a bunch of his yardage came on plays where
there was nobody within ten yards. But why because they
couldn't cut on that field and stay with him unless
he's that much of a wizard in his route running. Conversely,
the same thing on the Philadelphia side when you look
at Smith or or Brown, et cetera, same thing of
(41:23):
guys trying to cut. I mean, hell, we talked about
the interception in the end zone that Alexander secured. A
j Brown goes to plant and cut back, you know,
come back to the ball. He can't get his footing,
so it's an easy interception for Alexander. So all of
that to say, NFL, you might have gotten through unscathed,
you know, in terms of the larger picture, but the
(41:45):
Jordan Love injury looms large over these business decisions.
Speaker 1 (41:49):
We'll have more on this breaking story coming up next.
More on Jordan Love. We'll get updates. We'll talk about
the Eagles getting out of tonight with a win over
the Packers, what it means for that and what it
means for Saquon Barkley. Plus we got more big NFL
upset special picks on the way we're rolling Fox

Hello, Welcome in side our two, The Jason Smith Show
with my bes friend Mike Harmon. Ehe live for the
Tirack dot Com Studios. Tirac dot com. I hope you
get there at unmatched selection, fast, free shipping, free road
hazard protection at over ten thousand recommended IT installers, Tirac
dot Com is the way tire buying should be. Early
(00:49):
in the fourth quarter, it's the Eagles who now have
the lead over the Packers thirty one to twenty six.
Saquon Barkley now having a huge nut, just ripped off
a thirty four yard run. He's got ninety four yards
receiving to go along with twenty three ninety three yards
rushing to go along with twenty three yards receiving. Three
(01:10):
touchdowns on the night, and the Eagles are in the
red zone right now looking for more. This could get
away from the Packers pretty fast because down five another touchdown,
it doesn't seem like either defense can really stop the other.
But boy, I'll tell you a missed field goal a
few moments ago by Brandon Arvison from forty three yards
(01:31):
could have cut this to a two point lead kept
it close. It was a huge miss for the Packers,
and the best thing I can say Mike is, at
at least for Green Bay, it's somebody new missing big kicks,
so it's not the It's not Andrews Carlson again, who
missed forty seven kicks last year. At least if somebody
new missing it. It's like I feel like with the
Mets bullpen. Hey, when the Mets bullpen blows a bunch
(01:52):
of games, I'm like, let's just trade the bullpen sight
unseen for another team's bullpen, because I don't care if
the other team's bullpen is terrible. At least it's new
eyes blowing games and I don't have to see the
same guys. I guess what you could say at least
is a new guy not making kicks, so it's not boy,
we're still hold on to the old guy who couldn't
make any kicks.
Speaker 3 (02:08):
Psychologically that helps you get through that. Packer fans right
now are just wondering why their defense. Not only are
there large gaping holes in the secondary something they're used to,
they're getting absolutely run over downfield. I mean, you're just
watching Barkley bully people, and I just sent you a
tweet that just went out from Micah Parsons, which is
(02:31):
just absolutely fabulous when it comes down to evaluating this game. Quote,
the Giants should be under investigation. So here's a guy
that's not looking forward to seeing this offensive line at
sa Quon Barkley in division for another couple of games
as we get ready for the rest of this campaign.
(02:52):
But big plays all around and the receivers starting to
get a little bit of the flow. Jalen Hurts after
roughs start, has for the most part played fairly clean football,
although he just got away with what might have been
a ninety yard touchdown return up the sideline but for
(03:12):
a matter of inches. So yeah, just chaos suing. But
the Packers missing that field goal and a big opportunity.
It doesn't matter though. Betters are already paid, they got
the over.
Speaker 1 (03:22):
Yeah, but look but look what because this is the thing.
This goes back to what we talked about a couple
of weeks ago with the Giants. Everything makes sense if
you understand the Giants are tanking for next year. Everything
makes sense. Everything they've done, the lack of players they
brought in in the offseason, letting Saquon Barkley go, coming
(03:42):
back to Daniel Jones for one more year, everything makes sense.
Right now. You could sit here and say, well, why
wouldn't Okay, why wouldn't you try, Why wouldn't you just
you know, try to do something if you could. Well,
here's the thing. If you're bad after this year, Joe
Shane is not getting another shot at it, and neither
(04:03):
is Brian Dable. Like, you're gonna have a new GM
and a new head coach, and guess what, the new
GM and the new head coach are gonna want their
own quarterback in right, That's why they didn't go up.
They love JJ McCarthy. But wait a minute, they didn't
move up to get JJ McCarthy like he was he
was the guy. He was linked to the Giants as
soon as Michigan won the National Championship. He was linked
to them. Wait a minute, but they didn't go get
(04:23):
a quarterback. No, it doesn't make any sense. We know
Daniel Jones stinks. They didn't go out and get anybody
because they know this is a year where we're just
gonna go out there, we're gonna play and maybe it's
Shador Sanders, maybe it's Carson Beck, maybe it's somebody else,
but we're gonna get our quarterback next year because it's
gonna be a new head coach and a new GM
and a new regime, and they're gonna pick their own guys,
which is what you want, right. You don't want to say, Okay,
(04:44):
well we drafted JJ McCarthy and we don't know how
he's gonna be. And now there's a new coach coming
in that maybe runs a system that is not gonna
take advantage what JJ McCarthy does. Everything makes sense once
you understand, hey, the Giants are tanking. Did they really
want to keep, say Qui Barkley, they really want to get?
You saw how bad and hard knocks in the off
season that the ownership we really want to get and
(05:05):
they still let him go. And they still let him go.
So you all the talk to oh we really want
to get that was just for show. Understand the Giants
are tanking and that's why they let him go. Now,
am I one on Saquon Barkley is reborn? No, it's
game one, he's it's a new team. He wants to
come out big. I get it. Let you know, for
Saquon Barkley being the real thing, this is where you
got to get to the middle of season and see
(05:27):
where he's at, if he's still playing, if he's still
this effective. But for right now this part of the season,
he's playing great. And for the Giants, yeah, Barkley has
played well. For him, he's been their big weapon, went
healthy off and on for the past five years. But
when you understand that they're tanking, letting Saquon Barkley go
makes sense. Everything they've done makes sense. It's all about
this year is gonna be whatever it's gonna be. And
(05:49):
if we're somehow good, great, right, if we're somehow good
and Daniel Jones is great again and he's like he
was two years ago, and we find a way into
the playoffs, and Brian Dable is back to being the
coach he was when he's rise everybody in the NFL. Awesome.
We don't need to start over again, all right. We
feel like we're back. So the Giants are playing with
house money right now. If we're great, we're gonna keep
it going, and if not, we're gonna blow it up.
(06:10):
And that's why they did their own version of being
all in this year. Let the Jerry John, Hey, we're
all in on this year. What does that mean? We're
not gonna do anything and if we're good, great, and
if not, we're blowing it up. So we're not gonna
go get a quarterback. We're not gonna keep saquon bar,
We're not gonna do any of these things. We're just
gonna have what we have and go from there.
Speaker 3 (06:26):
Now, what you're selling me, if I'm going to just
summarize it, is that they were all just really good
actors on Hard Knocks and eron television Layers of Aaron Television.
See I chalked it up to bad actors as in
inept at their jobs. But the way you describe it
is like they were Shakespearean master thespians between Shane wearing
(06:50):
it from his kid, Hey, can we do that again?
Speaker 4 (06:53):
All right?
Speaker 3 (06:53):
Tell me how dumb I am and which quarterback should
be draft that's kind of what you just said there.
And Saquon oh, don't leave either way. Yeah, it all
plays out that if the numbers are to be believed
and what we think is gonna lay out, Like, I
don't know how good or bad Daniel Jones is. He
wasn't great the first couple of games last year, but
(07:15):
then he got hurt. To hear the offseason talk was
like he went through a full seventeen game slate and
was just awful from pillar to post, which ain't true
because that means you all slept walked through the Tommy
DeVito era, which I know you didn't because you didn't
couldn't wait to tell me how great he was at
every turn and tell me his life story and all
(07:38):
this stuff, went the restaurant when his agent got screwy
and whatever else, I mean, all of those things.
Speaker 4 (07:43):
So yeah, they're interesting.
Speaker 3 (07:46):
And Barkley, look, there's a lot of talent on this
Philadelphia squad, and it's almost as if I cursed them,
because as soon as I said it hurts, it's played
more efficiently. He throws an interception in the end zone.
Now part of it looked like aj Brown lost his
footing go figure once again in the end zone as
he went to set up and.
Speaker 4 (08:04):
Coming back for the ball.
Speaker 3 (08:05):
But either way it goes down as an interception and
you move on. But you know, when we're talking about
the division and the Cowboys and Parsons chiming in, however
sloppy this game may be, I don't think this division
is a race at all, which is why you can
make the case for the Commanders to suddenly be an
(08:26):
upstart squad because I think those other two teams are
going to be mediocre at best, so they can they
can fight and slap fight over mediocrity, and eventually you
will apologize to Sakwan Barkley.
Speaker 1 (08:37):
Now, why, Well, he's been off and on the last
few I don't need to apologize to anybody. I need
to apologize to him. He's been off and on. He's
been when he's been healthy. He was good at Tons
show and he's not been healthy, and other times he
hasn't been dominant. He's been a decent too, pretty good
running back for the last fight. But you know how
many guys are like that. There's lots of guys like.
Speaker 4 (08:56):
There's a lot of guys like that.
Speaker 3 (08:57):
By the way, I just just want to throw this
out all the fantasy football players out there, and I
know you number the millions in our audience across this globe.
Are you in the situation.
Speaker 4 (09:08):
Where you're starting Berkley in one league and playing him
in another?
Speaker 1 (09:11):
Let me know at Swollen.
Speaker 3 (09:13):
Dome at how about Apresca at Fox Sports Radio.
Speaker 1 (09:17):
So again, look, if you understand that the Giants are tanking,
it makes sense letting Saquon Barkley go. I'll hit up
Micah Parsons and kind of explain what that's all about to.
Speaker 3 (09:26):
Him now, speaking of the wall into him too.
Speaker 1 (09:30):
What Mike Harmon was trying to explain a couple of
minutes ago was there was a big turnover in the
end zone when it looked like the Eagles were going
in for a score that could have put them up
by as many as thirteen depending on what they decided
to do if we're going for two points. Instead, it
turned into an interception and the Packers take over again.
(09:50):
Slippery field. We've talked about it, We'll talk more about it,
and the Packers are now driving it down the field
down thirty one to twenty six. Ten minutes to go
in the fourth court, like the clock isn't really ticking.
They are in the red zone and could potentially go
up over the Eagles now again, still a lot of
time left. But boy, that turnover the Eagle sideline just
(10:10):
looks morose right now because they look like they could
have been going in for the kill shot and instead
aj Brown slips, the ball is picked off, and now
it's the Packers who have a chance to go up
in this game again. Thirty one to twenty six. They're
inside the twenty yard line, just under ten minutes left
to go in this one.
Speaker 4 (10:26):
Another big play for Jade Reid.
Speaker 3 (10:27):
He's up to one hundred and five yards on the
night after another big completion. Vic Fangio's defense has been
suspected at best.
Speaker 1 (10:35):
As long as he's not allowed to call timeouts, Vic
Fangil will be fine. I mean, I know you know what,
Vic Vangil, As long as you're not allowed to call
time bounsince five.
Speaker 3 (10:43):
Yes, see another part of yesterday's game that started to
get some run.
Speaker 1 (10:47):
Hey, looks Magnola call time out.
Speaker 4 (10:50):
He realized he's not a head coach, right.
Speaker 1 (10:53):
But how about we take a look at the games
on Sunday. I can't believe how many upsets specials I
have four week one in the NFL, two and zero
in college football last week. Excited about that little nervous
I have. I'm nervous that I have a lot of
upset specials to pick up. Why not, right, So I'll
kick things off and I'll tell you I'll go with
(11:14):
one of the big ones on Sunday. We talked about
it a few minutes ago. Tom Brady's gonna call it
the Cowboys and the Browns. For some reason, the Cowboys
are getting three and it's it just seems weird that
these are the Browns who have a really bad situation
at quarterback because Deshaun Watson is terrible.
Speaker 3 (11:32):
Wow, and he's also dealing with the family thing. He
had the loss in the families right and anyways hurt.
Speaker 1 (11:38):
Yeah, there's a lot. There's a lot you don't know
about the Browns where they're gonna be like coming into
the skinwalk. The Browns are a talented roster and they
have a really good team. But still here's the Cowboys
coming in. They're all pissed off. The one thing I
can say is Jerry Jones is everybody mad and get
everybody mad. Nobody's getting paid only CD lambage, but still
people are mad they didn't go in and get players
in the offseason. The Cowboys early on is kind of
(12:02):
It's kind of where they need to be. They need
to be pissed off and sharp, and we're gonna see
them out of the gate. They're gonna win this game.
I'll take the three points. I won't need them, but
I'll still take them because you know they're offered to me.
But yeah, number one upset special. Give me the Cowboys
getting three against the Browns.
Speaker 3 (12:17):
Total sitting at forty eight in this one, two of
my favorite quarterbacks to watch square off in Buffalo. Now
I have the Buffalo Bills racing all the way to
New Orleans when it's all said and done. But they're
gonna struggle in this one. They're gonna eke out a win.
But give me Arizona and the upstart Cardinals with Kyler
Murray and the speed that they've added at wide receiver,
(12:40):
the power that is Connor, and of course the video
game tendencies as a runner for Kyler Murray to get
us within the six and a half.
Speaker 1 (12:48):
Oh seeah, I love the but I always love what
I can say I don't need the points, but I understand.
I understand you need the points, buddy.
Speaker 4 (12:55):
You always need the points, the points, I understand. Oh yeah, yeah, yeah.
Speaker 3 (12:59):
Look, I suppose you could probably go to the sports
book and just say I don't but that's where you
just say, I'll take them on the money line.
Speaker 1 (13:06):
Yeah, yeah, exactly. Listen, I don't need the points, so
you want the money line. Yeah, but it sounds better
if I say I don't need the points, but I
kind of really do want the points. You understand what
I'm trying to do here, sir, Sir?
Speaker 3 (13:16):
What you want a powerful discussion? It might just say
I don't need good points, sir. Why don't you just
come back and tell me what you want to bet. Okay,
you're betting a team, you're telling me what the points.
Just come back where you're ready, all right, I don't
care what you want to do. The other game, I'll
give you for now. They're getting four on the road,
I get it. But give me the Rams over the
(13:39):
Lions in the Big Stafford Golf Bowl. The Rams defense
is going to surprise you.
Speaker 1 (13:45):
They're going to surprise a lot of people look, there
might pick for the Super Bowl this year. I know
that it seems like a big turnover for the Rams defensively,
but there's nobody I trust more in the NFL than
Sean McVeigh. Every move he's ever made has worked, not
one time. I can go boys. Sean mcpay completely screwed
the Rams by that no doesn't matter, so I have
(14:06):
complete confidence he has fixed the wobbliness of the defense
and coming in, I know how big they are offensively,
how many points they're gonna put on the board. You
have a little bit of an injury issue with Jamir Gibbs.
The Lions coming off the NFC title game last year,
now they're part of the hunted. I don't think this
means suddenly the Lions are gonna lay an egg. But
(14:27):
I see a big fireworks night and I will take
the Rams thirty eight to thirty five in this big
night for Stafford, big night for both offenses. When it
comes down to it, the Rams defense holds just enough,
they get a big turnover or two here, and you
start thinking, Okay, maybe this is gonna be it for
the Rams. I'll take the Rams. I'm not gonna need
(14:47):
the points but again, I'll take the four points.
Speaker 3 (14:50):
Fifty one the total, the post, Aaron Donald era and
a little bit of a banged up secondary.
Speaker 4 (14:56):
That's my only concern for you, my brother.
Speaker 3 (14:58):
But Miami, one of the other games that we're expecting
a ton of points. Forty nine and a half is
the total. Almost eighty percent of the money is on
the over in this one. But my other AFC title
contender coming out of this game, the Jacksonville Jaguars getting
three and a half on the road taking down to
a tonguea Bai Looa and company. Bang bang, let's go. Wow,
(15:21):
You're gonna go and get book it.
Speaker 1 (15:23):
Even though we interviewed Raheem Moster and he told us
how big Mike McDaniel's feed are, You're still gonna bet again? Wow, Wow,
Raheem most It's never gonna talk to you again.
Speaker 3 (15:32):
Man, No he will, because I still have great hopes
for them for the season. But no, not in this one.
Not in the opener. The Jaguars plus three and a half.
Speaker 1 (15:44):
So we have more upset specials coming right again. I
got five big upset specials. I like five five count
I got five. We'll get to the more coming up.
Later on this hour, but straight ahead we'll have more
on the Packers and the Eagles, plus why I'm even
more worried about the Ravens than I was a night ago.

Speaker 1 (17:43):
Sports Radio, The Jason Smith Show with my best friend
Mike Harmon, Yes, sir, Live from the tyrack dot Com studios.
And here we sit. Finally this game is nearing its conclusion.
Speaker 4 (17:57):
Dragging it along.
Speaker 1 (17:58):
Yeah, thunder five minutes left to go. The Eagles lead
the Packers thirty one twenty nine. Eagles have the ball
near midfield. Eagles looked like they were going in for
the kill, but aj Brown slips and falls a common
theme tonight, the slipping and falling. Instead, Packers pick it off,
go down the field, but they get stopped. They settle
(18:20):
for a field goal. So now it's a two point
lead from the Eagles again, just under five minutes left
to go this game in Brazil. Will have more on
this coming up in a few minutes, but coming off
of last night, I'd be look, it's gonna be hard
to uh top the drama that we saw at the
end of the game last night, with Isaiah likely three
(18:41):
inches away and maybe a pair of white cleats from
having a touchdown that would have tied the game against
the Chiefs and maybe could have won it if they
went for two, because they were gonna go for two
if likely you had a touchdown, And look, it was
a big deal, right, It's a big deal. It almost happened,
And we saw the Ravens talk about it after the game,
and they talked about some of the plays, and we
(19:02):
saw Lamar Jackson miss what could have been a wide
open touchdown on third down, and when the game ended,
it was Yeah. I was kind of disheartened for the
other thirty one teams in the NFL because if the
Chiefs can play their B or B minus game and
still win a game like that, I mean, obviously this
means when they get it going and they kept playing
(19:23):
more games because they're only in Week one, Yeah, things
are gonna get even better for the Chiefs. I know
Isaiah Likely talked about it after the game last night
and said, oh, this is as good as they could play.
Good luck in the postseason, dude, it's it's the first
week of September, all right. We just made it past
Labor Day and he's talking like the regular season's done
and we're playing our first playoff game on Sunday. Okay,
(19:45):
I understand, But there's a whole new thing, Mike. Why
I'm concerned about the Ravens specifically following this game last night,
and this is the way they went to the wall
disputing the call at the end that Likely was out
of bounds. I don't understand. I don't understand. Yes, it
(20:06):
was close, it's not like Likely had his whole foot
out of bounds, but still if you're four inches out
of bounds, you're out of bounds. If you're eight inches
out of bounds, you're out of bounds. It's like offside
in soccer. Either you're off side of or not you're
in bounds, you're out of bounds. There's no ahe that
was close enough. But all the comments that have come
out in the last I would say twelve to sixteen
hours make make me worry about the Ravens because they
(20:30):
all seem to think they were done wrong with the touchdown.
Here's Likely talking about how he was stunned that the
touchdown wasn't allowed to stand.
Speaker 5 (20:39):
This is probably the worst game we're gonna play all year,
so this is the best that they got.
Speaker 1 (20:44):
I mean, good luck in the postseason. No, no, no,
the one where he's talking about the uh Patrick play,
the one where he's talking about the the last play.
They'd disagree with that.
Speaker 4 (20:53):
Do we have that? Okay?
Speaker 1 (20:57):
R I like how you came out with a very
low voice. Don't have that one, Jason, we don't have one.
So I'll just recap for you. Uh So likely not
happy that it was overturned. Lamar Jackson said, I thought
it was a touchdown. When it happened. I still think
it was a touchdown. Other players have talked about they
were stunned that it got that it got overturned. Guys,
I don't know what to tell you. This is. This
(21:19):
is about as easy as it can say, as easy
as I can tell you. It was how to bounds.
I know it was close. I feel bad for you.
Do you want me to give you the touchdown because
it was? Oh it was Look, it was so close. Hey,
should have made the touchdown to play before if you
really wanted to, you really want to feel bad, should
have made lamar Jack, should have made that easy throat
as a flowers who was just wide open, right jah.
But no, But like the Ravens, like they like, they
(21:42):
they're upset that this wasn't made a call for them.
I get you're mad you got the loss, But mentally,
where are you at when you are denying facts? Like
we we we we can't accept this loss because, oh,
we don't think we lost the game. Like you could
tell still the way they were talking about this after
some of the things that were said today, they still
don't believe they lost the game. Oh, it should have
(22:03):
been a touchdown, and like we would have gotten the
two point conversion.
Speaker 4 (22:06):
Next.
Speaker 1 (22:07):
Yeah, I get the confidence you have that you're gonna
get the two point conversion win the game. But bottom
line is, you were out of bounds. You lost. You
have to accept that you lost this game, and they're
not accepting that, Hey, the mistakes we made, this happened.
This happened, This happened. That's that's how that's what you do.
After every game you know you're not gonna go forward.
You're not You're not gonna suddenly just say, well, we're
ignoring this and we're gonna petition the NFL to give
(22:28):
us a win because we totually would have won the game.
Like where are you at mentally when you can't accept
that you lost? And I don't mean a loss, like, hey,
we can't accept we got blown out mentally, I can't
handle it. I just mean accepting that you lost the game,
and you lost it fair and square because clearly he
was out of bounds. And I don't get all of that.
And I wonder about there that where they are mentally
(22:49):
where they need to be if you can't accept that, hey,
this call was made, it was the right call, and
you lost the game.
Speaker 4 (22:55):
Yeah, I think you have.
Speaker 3 (22:56):
Plenty of things you can argue about. You know, we
joked about the Spagnolo being able to call time out
at a halftime. We joked about some of the quote
points of emphasis as related to the offensive line and alignment,
and they're getting called for things whereby there's plenty of
video that would show indisputably that you're getting false starts
(23:21):
and the extra step on the tackles for Kansas City
dropping into pass coverage. All of those things are true.
You want to talk about those, I'll have those conversations
with you. Those are fun, those are legit, and those
are debating how we're adjudicating a game. Here his toe
came in and came down out of bounce, right, it's
not a hey, you were really close, and it's better
for the league and a great narrative. If that touchdown's
(23:43):
upheld and then we're fighting for two points, that's great. No,
in theory, that's fine. You want to run that simulation
on your video game, have had it, You want to
go replay it in the backyard with your jackass buddies,
go ahead and do it.
Speaker 4 (23:57):
The rules of the game are very conclusive when it
comes here.
Speaker 3 (24:01):
This isn't a Hey, let's go up to the booth
and see whether the the catch is good.
Speaker 4 (24:06):
Does he bobble it?
Speaker 3 (24:07):
Does he control it all the way through the ground,
all of those things that we might fight on. Hey,
the chain gang is out.
Speaker 4 (24:13):
Did they get it right? No, we're not talking about this.
Speaker 3 (24:15):
Your foot came down out of bouts period the end.
Speaker 1 (24:21):
You know, I a friend of mine who I was
really good friends with in college. He used to do that,
like if his team lost on Sunday in a like
on the field, like he's an Eagles fan, Like if
the Eagles lost on Sunday to the Cowboys or the
Falcons or the forty nine ers, the first thing he
would do is turn on Madden and play that game again,
like I'm gonna I'm gonna show you. I'm gonna show
(24:43):
you who can win this game. Like he would do
it all the time. And you tell me, his wife
would always say, you get even with them money, all right,
you go get even with him, like you know, been
watching football for four hours now, Oh now you're gonna
go play a video game. You go get even with him.
You go get even with him. That's great. I'll show
you about winning a game. I'll go play this. Look,
I've played this simulation. We all played Madden today and
we all beat the Chiefs. Every single time. My homes
(25:05):
through five interceptions. He was terrible. He couldn't do anything
against us. We won the game. I get that part
of it, but you have to understand and except we lost,
move on, use it as motivation you whatever you need
to do, but understand that you lost, fair and square.
It happened. I mean, we're not gonna take any responsibility
for the misplay on third down. Lamar Jackson basically throwing
(25:26):
Rashod Bateman under the bus by saying I thought he
was gonna sit. You still threw the ball to the
right side, like you thought he was still gonna keep running.
So don't tell me you thought he was gonna sit.
What are you doing? What the hell? Man? Like? I
really I wonder mentally where the Ravens are at after
this game and sometimes one while Look, the NFL losses
can really just pile on right because they can be
(25:48):
so devastating. It's why you can't play every week like
it's the super Bowl. You have to be able to
take a win and loss, treat it for what it
is and move on. But in the NFL, more than
any other sport, like a loss like that can fester.
And and if you're not mentally in the place you
need to be for your next game, even though you
have ten days to get ready for it, guess what
you're gonna get. You're gonna get dumped in that game.
(26:08):
Something we're going to and and sometimes a week one
loss if you can't deal with it the right way
just absolutely can completely torpedo your season. And I worry
for the Ravens on that because I after hearing them today,
I'm like, I don't know that they really get what
happened last night, Like what do they think there was
some sort of stuff that was done bad against them,
like they were ripping the referees after Like Likely had
(26:30):
a comment where he said, Oh, the referees have to
live with that. No, well, you know, they have to
live with what they did. It's like like something to
that effect like that, to live with what they did
or we'll see them again. Like the referees made a
call that was obvious wear white cleats. I think Mahomes
might have been right. If you wear white cleats, maybe
that happens you were black cleats. It's clear to see
you are out of bounds. I mean, you're out of bounds.
We have the technology, right, I don't. I don't get
(26:52):
what the Ravens were going at with this, and really
I wonder where they're at mentally now for next week
and beyond. This is a team that, hey, went incredibly
you know, a step away from the super Bowl last year.
Does that mean they're gonna get there this year? Or
suddenly we look at them and go, wow, this is
a great team and they're zero to four. They've not
gotten over that Week one loss. They never get over
that Week one loss to Kansas City, And I can
see that being a storyline for them as the season
(27:14):
goes on.
Speaker 3 (27:15):
Yeah, because we'll tie back in the likely sound that
we did play regarding you know, the hey, they better,
they better hope and blah blah blah that because this
is the worst we're gonna be.
Speaker 4 (27:28):
Isn't that generally the case? And I know we do
this oftentimes.
Speaker 3 (27:32):
Where it's like, well, our team's gonna get better, we're
gonna gel, but you're not. It doesn't matter how much
you're together and how cohesive you get. You know, you
didn't take any snapster in the preseason. That doesn't matter.
You're not getting any better, but we will. It's it's
the dumbest thing in the world. And he's a guy,
a champion, and and bang the drum for saying, hey,
(27:53):
breakout player or whatever. Just sound like a dope, And
I appreciate you. You're saying, hey, our team's gonna get
better and there's a lot to grow because one thing
we certainly chronicled a lot. Go find the podcast live
and in living color, in game and then post is
that that receiving core is gonna have to grow up
and become much bigger if they're gonna go anywhere in
(28:14):
this crowded afc Lamar Jackson cannot carry the ball as
many times as he did. I would expect you're able
to get some sort of balance with Derrick Henry at
some point.
Speaker 4 (28:26):
But is that gonna be consistent?
Speaker 3 (28:28):
No, I think you're gonna have to go back to
the drawing board for Todd Monkin. He's got some heavy
tasks ahead of him here. But this part of the
argument just absolutely silliness. Look, you're not lying if you
believe it's true. It's the old costanza. So if this
puts the chip on your shoulder. That makes you great
going forward, Okay, but if not, it could derail you
(28:51):
real fast.
Speaker 2 (28:52):
They're all the kids, man.
Speaker 1 (28:56):
So again, I'm telling you I've seen it happen so
much many times before, where sometimes a week one loss
just hangs over you so much your season never gets
over it. And that I'm looking at that right now
for the Ravens, because you got accept Hey, it was close,
you lost, Okay, No, no, no, no, I can't believe they
did that. Wait, what what do you mean he can't
believe they did?
Speaker 3 (29:15):
But Jason, just remember this. Just because you're paranoid doesn't
mean they're not out to get you.
Speaker 1 (29:20):
This is you know, this is true. This is true.
This is true. It's like John Travolta tells Uma Thurman
in Pulp Fiction when they're having the argument over whether
Marcello's threw Tony Rocky Horror over the off a balcony
because he gave Uma Thurman a foot massage. And Uma
Thurman says, don't you think that's successive? That he gave
me a foot massage and Marcello's threw him over the balcony,
(29:42):
And John Travolta says no, I think it's successive. Doesn't
mean it didn't happen, right So that's kind of where
I'm at. That's how I want to know. The end
doesn't mean it didn't happen. Right now, we are just
under two minutes left to go in Brazil. The Eagles
have the two point lead on the Packers. They are
inside the five yard line, second in goal. The Packers
(30:04):
have just called their last time out, so maybe they
get the ball back. Maybe they don't find out more.
What's trending right now in the wide world of sports,
it's special Delivery Steve to say your SD.
Speaker 6 (30:15):
Well, just about everything has happened in this NFL game
in Brazil, except maybe a rabbit running onto the field
and into the end zone. That happened in the Northwestern
game tonight.
Speaker 1 (30:24):
By the way, that north was that Northwestern's only touchdown tonight.
I'm sorry I did.
Speaker 3 (30:29):
They chase him properly for a touchdown, and the animal
was the only thing they had good sideline seats.
Speaker 6 (30:35):
We mentioned it on a prior show. There's just no
room there to actually put stands on top of Lake
Michigan at the Quasi stadium they're using for a couple
of years that game.
Speaker 3 (30:44):
But Quasi Stadium. Come on, it's just a small stadium.
Speaker 6 (30:48):
It's like twelve thousand seats. It's not exactly Okay.
Speaker 4 (30:52):
You were hanging out in a soccer medium for a
number of years. Don't not doing this.
Speaker 1 (30:56):
It's gonna be. That's gonna be the best part of
tonight is it? After this game is over, because it's
probably not going to overtime, We're going to get the
fourth quarter of Duke and Northwestern, two smart football teams
at ten to ten going to the fourth quarter.
Speaker 6 (31:07):
As I mentioned on the show before, this would be
great to attend a game there right on top of
the action, unless you're you know, in the top of
the end zone seats. But aside from that, right on
top of the field, it's late third quarter on FS one.
Northwestern and Duke tied ten to ten. Meanwhile, yes, the
Packers are out of timeouts a minute twelve to go.
Eagles holding on to a lead of thirty one to
(31:28):
twenty nine over Green Bay. The Packers rookie kicker missed
a forty three yard field goal in the second half,
and remember the Packers were stopped on a two point
try in the first half. They had originally kicked and
then there was a penalty on Philly, so they said, oh,
we'll be closer, let's try for two, and they were stopped.
Josh Jacobs was and now they're losing by two late
in the game. Jacobs, by the way, had a couple
(31:50):
of long run second half tonight, so he's up to
eighty yards rushing fifteen carries. But Saquon Barkley and his
Eagles debut with three total touchdowns. He has twenty four
attempts on the ground, one hundred and nine yards rushing.
Jalen Hurts with two touchdowns, three turnovers. He's just fumbled
one of the brotherly love pushes. My goodness it wasn't recovered.
Speaker 1 (32:13):
But the goal. Wow, they've Jason right now. They're saying, hey, Jason,
I know you just made one hundred million dollars for
your podcast. Can you go to give you two hundred
million to come back in place?
Speaker 6 (32:26):
Can we just sub you in for this play?
Speaker 1 (32:30):
Wow?
Speaker 6 (32:30):
That is let's just say that has not been consistent
for the Eagles offense this evening. So thirty seconds left,
Eagles now out of time out, same as Green Bay,
Philly can kick the short field goal on fourth and
goal here and make it a five point advantage. We'll see.
Steelers quarterback Russell Wilson is questionable for Sunday with calf tightness.
(32:51):
Pittsburgh gave tight end Pat Fryarmouth a four year extension.
Bengals wide receiver Jamar Chase says he's a game time
decision Sunday. He wants to do contract. Bengals wide receiver
t Higgins is doubtful with a hamstring injury. Bears wide
receiver Keenan Allen is questionable with a heel injury, and
forty nine Ers running back Christian McCaffrey was limited in
practice again with a calf injury. At the US Open,
(33:13):
Taylor Fritz won his semi final against fellow American Francis
Tiafo in five sets, six to one in the fifth.
He'll face number one Yanick Center in Sunday's final. There
were four WNBA games tonight, wins for Atlanta in overtime
for Vegas. Chicago and Minnesota won at Indiana ninety nine
eighty eight. Caitlin Clark in the loss twenty five points,
(33:34):
eight rebounds, eight assists, seven turnovers. As for late night
Major League Baseball. The Cleveland lead is now two to
one at Dodger Stadium as they go to the seventh.
Because shohe Otani has hit his forty fifth home run
of the season, he has one hundred RBIs even. It's
currently the Padres ahead of the Giants for to one.
In the top of the seventh, Houston and Seattle each one.
(33:58):
Kansas City shut out Minnesota five nothing. Mets won their
eighth straight on a tenth inning homer six to four
over the Reds. Atlanta did win three to one over
Toronto behind Max Freed. Philly won at six straight and
victories for the Yankees and Baltimore. Updating, the field goal
is good a twenty one yarder from Jake Elliott Philadelphia
(34:18):
Eagles thirty four to twenty nine over Green Bay. Each
team out of timeouts under thirty seconds left back to you, Thank.
Speaker 1 (34:26):
You, Steve o So Now shoeo Tani is officially a
forty five forty five guy, all right, not forty forty
is forty five forty.
Speaker 6 (34:33):
Which has never been runs.
Speaker 1 (34:35):
Now, first, everything he does has never been done. Forty
five home runs, forty six stolen base is now five
home runs and four stolen bases, shy of being the
first ever fifty to fifty player in MLB history, just absurd.
So we'll have one update, ee mate, who knows, maybe
he gets up again. Stolen base another home run, we'll see,
(34:57):
but coming up next twenty seven as left to go.
As Steve de Seger said, field goal is up and
good for the Eagles. The Packers will get the ball left.
One last gas chance they need to get in the
end zone. Coming up next to talking about an incredible
Packers comeback or the Eagles holding on despite the fact
the Packers really still stinking the red zone and kicking
(35:18):
field goals. So it's a lot like last year. That's
coming up next right here, Jason and Mike, This is Fox.
Speaker 2 (35:25):
Be sure to catch live editions of The Jason Smith
Show with Mike Harmon weekdays at ten pm Eastern seven
pm Pacific on Fox Sports Radio and the iHeartRadio app.
Speaker 1 (35:36):
Well I said it was going to be tough to
top the drama of the end of the game last night,
but wow, we may be approaching it as well. The
Jason Smith Show with My best friend Mike Harmon live
from the Tirack dot Com Studios. The Eagles win it
over the Packers thirty four to twenty nine, the Packers
(36:03):
getting the ball back after the Eagles kick a field
goal to go up by five. This after the Eagles
fumble the snap on the toush push.
Speaker 4 (36:12):
Okay, you saw what I sent you out of that,
right yeah?
Speaker 1 (36:15):
Oh, Jason Kelsey already on Twitter with the Homer Simpson meme.
But here's the craziness that unfolded following that. So the
Eagles are up thirty four to twenty nine. There's twenty
seven seconds left in the game. Okay, the Eagles are
gonna kick off, Packers are gonna down at the end zone.
They'll take over at the thirty. No, no, no, Keishawn
(36:37):
Nixon decides, I'm gonna run it out from the end zone.
Speaker 4 (36:40):
Hero ball baby. Now.
Speaker 1 (36:42):
I don't know if this was called, if he got
the green light, or if this is something did on
his own, but this is a horrendous decision because I hey,
maybe we get a little bit of chaos and we run. Maybe,
but take the ball at the thirty take the ball
at the thirty twenty seven seconds get down there. Instead,
Nixon gets tackled the fifteen yard line, so not only
(37:03):
do the do they lose fifteen yards of field possession
because he gets tackled the fifteen but he kills five
seconds off the clock. So horrible decision. I feel bailed
like Bill Walton, a horrible Oh Snapper Jones, that was
the worst decision I've ever seen. So horrendous decision. Tribute
to Steve Snapper Jones and I did I got them both.
Speaker 4 (37:25):
INTA, that's great, That's what I mean. That's that's a twofer.
Speaker 1 (37:28):
So the Packers get a big completion down the sideline
from Jordan Love. Okay, got the ball right around midfield,
still about fifteen seconds left to go. It was, it was.
It was one of those gutsy throws. I think the
ball hissed out of Jordan Love's hands. It was fantastic.
Look I I it was. It's one of those plays
(37:49):
that makes you go wow, because you don't think you
can complete a pass like that to Jayden Reid because
there's gonna be some kind of coverage near midfield. But no,
he's able to come down with it great care staying
in bounds. Then the next play, Jordan Love is rushed
and he wants to get rid of the football because
there's no timeouts left, and he turns and he's facing
(38:11):
away from the end zone. Josh Jacobs is behind him.
Not sure if he was supposed to be blocking or not,
but Josh Jacobs is behind him, so he pitches the
ball to Jacob's Jacobs runs out of bounds to give
the Packers one more down to play with. However, they
would play this down without Jordan Love because in a
night where hey, everybody slips and falls on the field, no,
(38:31):
Jordan Love gets his left ankle stuck in the turf.
It looks like he's in a lot of pain. He
has to limp off. He is limping off the field
right now, walking under his own power a little bit better.
So that's a good sign for Jordan Love. But he
comes out of the game and it looks bad. Malik
Willis comes in for the Packers, doesn't even get his
(38:53):
final hail Mary off because he slips. Dude, throw the football.
I don't care what Malik Willis throw the football. You
can't get sacked on a hail mary. Throw the bleep
in football. But he gets sacked on the hail mary
and the Eagles hold on to win thirty four to
twenty nine and they win this game. But I you
know the big thing coming away for this. We'll get
to the Eagles part of it coming up next. Look
(39:14):
with the Eagles winning, Packers losing. But to encapsulate this game,
what a disaster of the game for the players and
the field, because all they did was slip all night long. Right,
it began with them slipping. They slipped in the middle
of the game, and they slipped at the end of
the game. Look, but Leek Willis slips and falls at
the end the game and can't get his hail Mary
off because he winds up getting sacked. And then you
have Jordan Love getting hurt on this field, on a
(39:36):
field where everybody else slipped. But no, no, my foot's
gonna get stuck. Everybody else's foot can slip. Hey take
the No, no, my foot's gonna get stuck. And I
get hurt. And and this is this is we started
the show with this. I can't get over the fact
that we play big games in the NFL all the time,
not even just the rinky dig ones every Sunday it
met Life, but Super Bowls and games overseas, and the
(39:58):
field is still in such a bad shape that the
player's health is at risk because they all slipped and
fell the entire game. They're so happy to be leaving,
I'm sure getting off this field. They never want to
see Brazil. They never want to see this field again.
Speaker 3 (40:11):
JJ Watt with the summary statement a little bit earlier tonight,
when he was asked on Twitter about to comment on
the slipping and talking about well, what about long spikes?
Speaker 4 (40:22):
Does that fix it? Wa quote?
Speaker 3 (40:24):
Soccer fields are made for speed and agility, smaller bodies
gliding across the surface with minimal contact. They're not properly
conditioned to have these size and strength of NFL players cutting,
pushing and driving all game on them. How many times? Look,
this is when we get to do the old Hey,
if you look at the All twenty two, watch the
defensive backs when they try to cut right wide receivers
(40:47):
with decided advantages all night, because otherwise it just looks
like both teams all their secondaries forgot how to play
football tonight with the number of big plays and wide
open spaces.
Speaker 4 (41:00):
You know, the pitch and catch kind of thing. Jayde Reid, you.
Speaker 3 (41:02):
Know that was a great play at the end, but
otherwise a bunch of his yardage came on plays where
there was nobody within ten yards. But why because they
couldn't cut on that field and stay with him unless
he's that much of a wizard in his route running. Conversely,
the same thing on the Philadelphia side when you look
at Smith or or Brown, et cetera, same thing of
(41:23):
guys trying to cut. I mean, hell, we talked about
the interception in the end zone that Alexander secured. A
j Brown goes to plant and cut back, you know,
come back to the ball. He can't get his footing,
so it's an easy interception for Alexander. So all of
that to say, NFL, you might have gotten through unscathed,
you know, in terms of the larger picture, but the
(41:45):
Jordan Love injury looms large over these business decisions.
Speaker 1 (41:49):
We'll have more on this breaking story coming up next.
More on Jordan Love. We'll get updates. We'll talk about
the Eagles getting out of tonight with a win over
the Packers, what it means for that and what it
means for Saquon Barkley. Plus we got more big NFL
upset special picks on the way we're rolling Fox
