Speaker 5 (06:29):
I mean, there's no other way around it.

Speaker 2 (06:33):
The Packers defeated the Seahawks thirty thirteen. The Seahawks four
game winning streak came to an end. Green Bay had
three hundred and sixty nine total yards. Seattle had two
hundred and eight total yards. Rushing yards was one forty
for the Packers, eighty for the Seahawks. Passing staff Jordan
Love was twenty of twenty seven two hundred and twenty
nine yards, two touchdowns, zero interceptions. Gino was fifteen or

(06:56):
nineteen for one forty nine, no touchdowns, one pick he
got Nick and Sam Howell came in and filled in
for him. Don't know this severity of the injury looked
like it was an ankle injury or lord leang injury.
So we'll wait for the evaluation before we can give
you a conclusive on what transpired with Gino. So hopefully
he's he missed the remaining of this game and it

(07:17):
was nothing serious and he'll be able to come back
and play next week. Oh Joe. When you watch the
green Bay Packers, I think because the Lions were playing
so well that people kind of overlooked green Bay and Minnesota.
If I'm not mistaken, I think Minnesota is like eleven
and two with a chance to go to eleven and
twelve and two tomorrow. People kind of an over month

(07:39):
green Bay. But green Bay is because remember I think
it was who that Minnesota had to take a last
second field goal, if I'm not mistaken, to beat him
kick the last second field goal. Maybe with Detroit. Maybe
with Detroit that kicked that last second field goal in Detroit,
and excuse me in Minnesota to beat him. But green
Bay got a good team that could run the football
with Josh Jacobs Jordan Love twenty twenty seven to night

(08:03):
nine yards two touchdown defense is really good.

Speaker 5 (08:07):
Uh and here with Zayer didn't even play.

Speaker 3 (08:11):
You know they had yeah.

Speaker 5 (08:14):
Was uh in there.

Speaker 2 (08:18):
But they're they're good team. What do you like about
what you saw from Green Bay and what you've seen
thus far?

Speaker 1 (08:22):
Listen from the packer of Jordan Love has been phenomenal
all season. And the funny thing about Jordan Love being
phenomenal all season is this game against the Seahawks, they
didn't even have to throw the ball. Josh Jacobs in
that front line dominated the game from start to finish.
I'm not sure what the Seahawks were doing defensively, but
for some reason, they kept standing in that two shell
all night long, and they continued to give the ball

(08:44):
to Josh Jacobs over and over. And we're getting four
pop seven to pop eight, the pop and they refuse
to come up.

Speaker 5 (08:50):
They refuse to come out of it that two shell
until late in.

Speaker 1 (08:53):
The third quarter when it was goddamn too late now
at that point, and they started gaining a little ground
when the momentum shifted, you know, in the Seahawks favor
a little bit obviously, but by that time it was
too late.

Speaker 5 (09:05):
Honestly, you know, just to be honest with you, it
was a shitty game. It was a boring game. It
was a boring game.

Speaker 1 (09:11):
G you know, didn't didn't didn't play fairly well. Once
Sam Howe came into the game. You know how the offense,
the offensive book, the offensive playbook changes tremendously. You know,
there's only so much he can do. He throws the interception.
I mean, he got sacked twice, maybe three times, something
like that.

Speaker 5 (09:27):
Listen.

Speaker 1 (09:27):
It was it was a good It was a good
look for the Packers, the fact that they were able
to play one dimensional football running the ball then tired
of the night. Romeo Dobbs had three catches to them
for touchdowns. Outside of that, you know, it wasn't a
huge day in the air, but on the ground, Josh
Jacob did his thing.

Speaker 2 (09:45):
Well, that's what you need to have happened. A team
go jumps into that two shell. You need to have
your running game be able to run them out of it.
You should not allow someone to try to stop your
running game with a light box, which is a seven
man box. They must drop that eighth got down and
now you play down. Now you throw, you know, you
pitch and catch outside with the single single high safety

(10:06):
in the hole. But I thought, I thought Green Bay
did what they needed to do. I mean, you see
the numbers twenty of twenty seven. So the ball really
was never in Harm's way and that should have been
higher because he missing throws, had Romeo Dobbs on over out.

Speaker 1 (10:19):
Chris Roston threw it behind it on the D ball,
he can't. He under threw every ball tonight and got
past the Paris.

Speaker 2 (10:26):
He underthrew Romeo Dobbs and ended up getting a field goal.
He throws it out there, he has Walte beat. That's
a touch down. So he could have easily been twenty
three of twenty seven. Yeah, he's set of instead of
twenty twenty seven. But look we're nitpicking here, O Joe,
and I think sometimes we have to get picked for
the simple fact is that when you get to the playoffs,
every possession matters, every play matters, and underthrow here or

(10:51):
or misfire there could be the difference in winning and
losing a ball game. And so those are the things
that you want to like, you want to try to
clean up heading into the playoffs. Because green Bay is
gonna be in the playoffs. I think three teams out
of that that division is gonna be in the playoffs, Detroit, Minnesota,
and green Bay. That's three teams, So that means only
one other team is gonna make it. Only one of
the wild card teams gonna make it. Oto because you

(11:12):
got your four division winners Detroit or or or what
Minnesota because now they're tied both have two losses. NFC
East looks like the Eagle's gonna win that division. NFC South,
Tampa is in control of that division. Now we'll see
what Atlanta does tomorrow night. And then the NFC West. Now,

(11:34):
the NFC West is still wide open because you have Seattle,
you have Arizona, you have the Rams right there, Nip
and tug. So could two teams out of that division
get it? Absolutely? Absolutely, two teams could get in out
of that division, but Dallas's lurger. We're talking about the
Cowboys a little later.

Speaker 3 (11:52):
Today.

Speaker 2 (11:52):
They played maybe their best ball game of the year. Defensively,
they got after Jordan Love picked them a couple of times.
Cooper Rush did a great job of throwing the ball
and Downell Dondell did a great job of running the football.

Speaker 3 (12:05):
But I thought the Packers looked good. They did what
they needed to do.

Speaker 2 (12:08):
You go on the road, o Jo, that's a long
way to fly at night, and now you're go. You know,
so you a night game the twelfth Man. But give
Green Bay credit because they came out ready to play.
They jumped on him early fourteen. Nothing made him one dimensional,
so now you got to throw the football. And once
Geno got nicked, I think most people kind of knew

(12:30):
that Sam Howe was not going to come in and
move the needle, and he wasn't gonna be able to
do anything that was gonna get Seattle back in the game.
Charby Know had a nice run of twenty four yard
touchdown run, but it was I don't think he didn't
put fear in anybody tonight. So congratulations to the Green
Bay Packers. They moved to ten and four with a
thirty to thirteen win over the Seattle Seahawks. Seahawks are

(12:52):
now eight and six, and if I'm not mistaken, they
still lead the NFC West, with the Cardinals right there
along with the Rams. Show what a game it was
in Motor City. Josh Allen and the Buffalo Bills go
on the road and beat a team that had won
eleven straight games and Jerry goffin Detroit Lions forty eight
to forty two. The teams the highest scoring game this year.

(13:13):
The team combined for ninety points, one thousand and eighty
total yards, twelve total touchdowns. Josh Allen was sensational again,
four hundred and thirty total yards, four touchdowns, two in
the air, two on the ground. Jerry Goff was equally
as impressive, but not nearly enough. He had five hundred
and seven total yards and five touchdowns, no interceptions. Remember, o, Joe,

(13:37):
it's fun how the NFL worked. You remember that game.
He had five interceptions and they won. He had five touchdowns,
no turnovers, and they lose. That's just the way it goes.
Buffalo raced out to a fourteen nothing lead on josh
on two touchdown to Josh Allen TD runs and they
never looked back.

Speaker 3 (13:56):
Buffalo. They're good, Ojo.

Speaker 2 (13:57):
The only thing that I questioned is Dan Campbell calling
an on side kick with twelve minutes left in the
ball game. You're having a hard time stopping them. I'm
not giving them a short feel. The last thing I'm
gonna do is give him a short feel, O Joe.
To give him the short and you had the momentum.
Now you give them a short feel, and now they
go up. They go up for about another score, and

(14:20):
you're fighting an uphill battle. But forty eight to forty two.
I had some concerns about Detroit and the defense, and
it's starting to short. It's stead a little bit, O Shoe. Now, look,
Josh Allen is not an easy guy. He's not an
easy guy. Getting to him is the easy part, getting
his big ass on the ground.

Speaker 5 (14:39):
He's like a more athletic Ben Roethlisberger.

Speaker 2 (14:43):
Absolutely absolutely is. But this was a very extent. If
you wanted points here, it was forty eight forty two.
And remember they lost the game last week forty four
forty two, so they scored They've scored ninety points in
the last two weeks good good, love bad bad.

Speaker 3 (15:03):
Oh Joe, we gave up eighty six.

Speaker 1 (15:04):
Yeah, most definitely, most definitely. Listen from a fans perspective,
they enjoyed this game. If you're a Buffalo fan, if
you're a Lions fan, this is a game that you
look forward to having, even if you want to lose
it in Maybe not so, but the fact that you
know you can put up these kind of points against
good teams says, now we need to work on the

(15:25):
other half. You got damn defense. Forty they put up
ninety some point where eighty eighty something together they gave.

Speaker 2 (15:34):
Up You talk about you talk about Buffalo. Buffalo scored
forty two last week, they scored forty two. This week
they gave up forty four. Last week to the Rams,
they gave up forty two.

Speaker 3 (15:43):
Now both times they were on the road.

Speaker 2 (15:44):
Now, I mean, you know you're on the road and
say that, but you're gonna have to play a little
better because it doesn't look like unless something happens with
Kansas City, it's gonna be tough for you to overtake
them because your two games, they're two games.

Speaker 3 (15:58):
Clear love you.

Speaker 1 (16:01):
He if for some reason I just had this feeling
it's the Bill's year. It's the Bill year. Josh Allen
is playing very very well, very well, and if he
happens to see the Chiefs again in the playoffs at
some point, at any point, I think this is the
year that they finally beat them. Josh Allen's playing out
of this world. He's playing out of his mind again.

(16:23):
Early in the season, obviously I had Lamar Jackson as
my MVP, but as of the past what maybe three
three maybe four weeks, Josh put that cape on Man.
He was Clark Clinton at the beginning of the season.
Now he's Superman. He's playing just like Superman. And what
they're doing offensively with no superstars we did. There are

(16:43):
no bona fide superstars over there in Buffalo. You know,
you have very good, adequate role players that are doing
their job very very well.

Speaker 3 (16:53):
They run the football really well.

Speaker 2 (16:54):
Thirty four rushers one hundred and ninety seven yards, fourteen
rushers one hundred and five to two touchdown for James Cook,
eleven carries for sixty six yards too, touchdown for Josh Allen.
And I think that's the thing that when the voters
look at the hold on he lost Stepan Diggs, who
was a Pro Bowl player. He lost Gave Davis, who's
a he's a very good receiver. You look at what
they lost defense, both of their safety Travarious Trevarious White,

(17:19):
excuse me, Travarius White, and.

Speaker 3 (17:24):
He's doing this.

Speaker 2 (17:25):
The only difference I see with Josh Allen this year.
In the previous years he turned out over No, that's
the biggest difference. He's been this, y'all. Y'all guys, he's
been averaging, putting up three hundred and fifty and four
hundred yards of throw lof fense. But he gets himself
into trouble when he turned the ball over when they're

(17:46):
going in the score and he throws an interception in
the end zone into a touchback. He fumbles in the
red zone when they're going to get points. That is
the biggest difference in which I see with this team.
Plus those guys aren't in his ear.

Speaker 3 (18:00):
Now.

Speaker 2 (18:00):
They scored forty eight points. And if I'm looking at this,
if my my my thing shows me correctly, I don't
see uh Cooper with a target.

Speaker 3 (18:12):
Amari Cooper didn't get a target.

Speaker 2 (18:16):
And they dropped forty eight. Now, if somebody else didn't
get a target last year. We know what's gonna be transpiring.
So now he's the unquestioned leader of the tired of
a team.

Speaker 3 (18:29):
It's peace.

Speaker 2 (18:29):
Look at the way he's playing on Joe. He doesn't
force he Look now he did force what he's rolling
out of biles on Joe and he throws back to
the middle of the field and he almost got it
picked up. I say, Johns, why why why why.

Speaker 5 (18:43):
He gonna he gonna beat him a little bit every
every gonna be him.

Speaker 2 (18:50):
Uh and so uh they the look, your defense is
gonna if you if you get the Buffalo Bills, your
defense best best be on their best behavior.

Speaker 3 (19:01):
Because that's not an anomaly.

Speaker 2 (19:05):
Now I'm not saying forty eight, but if you go
back and look at it, they've got what a straight
games will at least thirty. Yeah, they're probably averaging thirty
a games. I think it's Vember that I think they're
nipping tuck right there with h Baltimore. But they might
have overtaken Baltimore with the highest scoring team in the NFL,
or they one for the two because I know Baltimore,

(19:26):
Detroit and them, they were right right there. But I
think after these last two games, I think Buffalo's overtaking them.
But a boy, you're gonna have your hands for because
this team offensively and they got they got like.

Speaker 3 (19:43):
O Jo.

Speaker 2 (19:44):
It's just like, oh, you got secured doing his things,
and he's so hard to get on. I mean, Josh
is just so hard to get on the ground. And
then you got to worry about his legs because now,
O Joe, I can't really rush like I want to
because if I if I run pass him, he's gonna
jump out the window if I don't keep it. If
I if I let him get outside of the pocket,
he can throw on the move and he still can

(20:05):
go get me a first down even if it's thirty fifteen.
So it's so hard to defend him. You just hope
that he makes some mistakes. He gets anxious and he
starts and he turns the ball over. But if he's
calm like he's been playing like the last three four weeks,
well you got your hands full.

Speaker 5 (20:20):
Listen, you go, you gotta be you gotta be disciplined
on defense.

Speaker 1 (20:23):
If anything, especially with knowing that he's a dual threat,
you got to tell your d ends and he bring
your ass up field.

Speaker 5 (20:29):
And keep contained the level off and keep containing a
level of ass off.

Speaker 1 (20:33):
Now if you have to have a spy, you know,
because he's a dude threat quarterback, you got to have
a spy.

Speaker 5 (20:37):
Tell your stack.

Speaker 1 (20:38):
You got to keep your discipline, keep your disciplined. He
if he runs, just make sure you bring him down.
You got to make the tackle, especially a man and
man because everybody back is turned. Everybody back is turned,
and you as our last savior.

Speaker 2 (21:00):
And like the end, when you when you get like, okay,
you see where he is. He's back there in the pocket.
He's about seven eight yards. Once you get that point,
now you gotta level off. Don't you run your eyes by.
I'm trying to try to. Oh I'm no, no, no, no,
don't do that because all he's gonna do is step
out of He's gonna step out of you. And like
you said, when you got your back turned, now, good

(21:22):
luck with that. But he is he's a big he's
playing extremely well. The guys are making plays for him. Uh.
Coleman came back today, had a big catch. Kencaid is
finally back. He's making catches. Uh Shakurra is his safety blanket.
James Cook, you know catching out of the backfield that look,

(21:43):
this is that they're really good. They're a really good
football team. They're plaguing extremely well.

Speaker 3 (21:48):
Right now.

Speaker 2 (21:50):
Is there team in the ALC that has the possible
weapons that what Detroit had or the Rams have because
I haven't seen its.

Speaker 3 (22:00):
Uh we know the Ravens give weapons.

Speaker 2 (22:04):
Uh huh No, yeah, Lines of Lions are first in
points scored, second in total offense. Bill's a second in
point score, eighth in total offense.

Speaker 5 (22:17):
That's crazy.

Speaker 2 (22:18):
They keep playing like this said they're gonna be first
and toy they gonna be first in points, be first
in point scored. But uh they have they have a
team that's that's that's really good. Like I said, I
didn't agree with Dan Campbell with twelve minutes left in
the game. Oh Joe kicking, Yeah, I don't agree with that.

Speaker 1 (22:34):
Listen. That that's that's been Dan. He's always been who
he is.

Speaker 5 (22:39):
Listen. He has some bigger hornets and he wears them.

Speaker 1 (22:42):
Matter of fact, he walks down, he walks on the
sideline with a will barrow with his nuts and the
will barrow, And that's how he coaches, that's how he plays.

Speaker 5 (22:49):
He goes for it on for it down.

Speaker 3 (22:50):
He goes for you.

Speaker 5 (22:51):
He does on sidekicks, and his players believe in him.

Speaker 1 (22:55):
He believes in his players, and I think that's why
he makes some of the calls that he makes that
most most players, I mean most players and analysts and
Punnis like yourself, just wouldn't this, wouldn't you just wouldn't
agree it based on the situation.

Speaker 2 (23:09):
Joe Brady not calling the shots. The Bills are firing
on all cylinders, Ken Dorrisey. If I'm not mistaken, he's
calling the players in Cleveland. I isn't it in Cleveland.
But I feel bad for him because Jamis is a
turnover machine.

Speaker 3 (23:23):
Oh Jr. Check this out.

Speaker 2 (23:24):
The Lions and the Chiefs are twenty five and one
against the rest of the league. They're going to against
the Bills. The Lions never led. The Chief's biggest league
was one, and they trailed the entire second half.

Speaker 1 (23:36):
Yeah, look like once the Bills jumped out on Once
the Bill jumped out, boys, uphill.

Speaker 3 (23:44):
Battle from there.

Speaker 1 (23:46):
It's an uphill battle from there tonight. Once the Package
jumped out on the Seahawks, it's uphill about it. You know,
put yourself behind the eight ball. It makes it that
much more difficult to beat.

Speaker 3 (23:58):
A good team.

Speaker 5 (23:59):
This is a good team with a great offense. It's difficult.

Speaker 3 (24:06):
Yeah, you're you're right, Oh, Joe. I think the thing
is for me.

Speaker 2 (24:09):
The question I wanted to ask you is that do
you believe of the team that look Buffalo, Baltimore, Kansas City.

Speaker 3 (24:17):
There's a certain teams Pittsburgh.

Speaker 2 (24:19):
Uh, there are certain teams that we we have a
good indication that they're gonna make the playoffs?

Speaker 3 (24:24):
Are the Bills the scariest team? You know what? I think? So?

Speaker 5 (24:30):
I think I think so.

Speaker 1 (24:31):
Now, when when you say are the Bills the scariest team?
Are you speaking uh, AFC or NFC.

Speaker 3 (24:39):
I'll let you can buy them all.

Speaker 2 (24:41):
If you had to say, if you had to if
you had to put if you had to put some
amount of amount of money that mattered to you, who
would you put your money on right now?

Speaker 3 (24:50):
Yeah?

Speaker 1 (24:51):
I probably put on I probably put on the Bills,
you know, and and and and that's because of the
quarterback situation. Now, I also look at the Lions is
being very sk area as well. But golf doesn't scare me.
Golf doesn't scare me. The players around him scare me.
Montgomery scares me, Gibbs, Jamison Williams, you know, Aman Ross,

(25:11):
Saint Brown, they scare me. But something about that goddamn
Josh Allen and his supporting cast fits him so well
in what they do.

Speaker 5 (25:19):
Man, that shit is scary.

Speaker 1 (25:21):
So if I had any amount of money going into
the playoffs and had to bet on somebody to win
a game, it'll be the goddamn Bills, especially.

Speaker 5 (25:27):
Right now with the way they play.

Speaker 2 (25:30):
Yeah, and the thing with Detroit is that ojo. If
you look, they have fifteen rushes for forty six yards.
They threw the ball fifty nine times. You see how
unbalanced they are when they win games. They're very balanced team.
They don't get that lotsided. I mean, that's a that's

(25:50):
a they threw the ball, that's the twenty five. That
basically fifteen so on four that's twenty five, so sixty.

Speaker 5 (25:57):
What you know why they were behind the eight ball.

Speaker 1 (26:02):
Once you fought behind like that in the beginning of
the game, you down fourteen, Okay, boom, Now I'm panicking.
I got to find ways to get back into the game.
And what's the one way to get back to the
game very fast?

Speaker 2 (26:13):
Boom.

Speaker 5 (26:14):
You got to let that bitch rip.

Speaker 2 (26:16):
Yeah, but what happens when you go three and out
or you don't and you don't convert? Now you let
that high pounds right on your dus already tired, yep,
but the bills looked really good, Josh Allen. Look, he
must have watched Lamar say, man, look here, Lamar did
what he did against the Giants, five touchdowns, no interceptions.

(26:38):
But he said, hold up, let me leave something. Put
something on y'all mind. I know y'all saw that, but
I want to put something on your mind right quick.
Oh Joe.

Speaker 3 (26:46):
The defense injuries are finally catching up. Think about it.

Speaker 2 (26:49):
Aiden Hutchison is out, Ala McNeill, Carlton Davis, Alex Alzoni,
Derek Barnes, Martin Dorsey, Rake Straw Junior, mostly Oh Jo.
At some point in time, think about those one, two, three, four, five, six, seven,
eight nine ten. That's ten guys. Okay, let's just say,

(27:11):
for the sake of argument, all of them aren't starters.
Let's just say, for the sake of argument, you try
to play eighteen guys. Well, ten of them has been injured.
Hutcherson is the starter, David is the starter McNeil, Alex Azzoni,
he's a starter.

Speaker 3 (27:26):
Those guys are starters. Hey, So we talk.

Speaker 1 (27:29):
We talk about winning, We talk about playoff football, we
talk about getting to the super Bowl. People think it's
all about playing good. The most important thing is health.
The most important thing is health in your roster. Seeing
how many people on the back end of the season
going into the headed into the playoffs are healthy. Everybody
gonna be hurt. Everybody gun, we're about healthy and able
to actually play the game. So this this is tough

(27:51):
for them, and we'll see if they're able. They're able
to overcome some of the injuries that they do have
at key positions. I hope Carton is okay. Some of
the mid level plays h are hurt right now. Obviously
Aiden Huncheson, Aiden Hutcheson is out. And it's gonna be tough.
It's gonna be it's gonna be tough.

Speaker 5 (28:09):
And you could say next man up, but the next
man is the next man for a reason.

Speaker 1 (28:13):
So sometimes tell the next man to step up ain't
really given what it should be given, if you know.

Speaker 3 (28:18):
What I mean.

Speaker 2 (28:19):
Yeah, Sometimes O Chow, the next man is the man
that was after the next man that was up, so
he was the next next man.

Speaker 3 (28:28):
He was the man that was next to the man.
So that's your problem right there.

Speaker 2 (28:36):
Tyron Johnson said Lions players were putting fingers where they're
not supposed to be on the on side kickscrum.

Speaker 5 (28:45):
Wait, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa whoa Wait bring that to
me again now.

Speaker 2 (28:50):
Tyron Johnson said Lions players were putting their fingers where
they're not supposed to be on the on side Kickscrum.

Speaker 5 (29:00):
I would, I would leave. I need a little bit
more context of that.

Speaker 3 (29:03):
You know, you need no context?

Speaker 2 (29:06):
What what? What? What?

Speaker 3 (29:07):
What you putting your finger in on the own side?
Where you putting it?

Speaker 1 (29:10):
Poking somebodyne Nah, you ain't poking nobody in the eye. Yeah,
that's a new one for me, man, I ain't.

Speaker 3 (29:20):
Yeah, you know what's going on there? You know what
going on?

Speaker 2 (29:22):
That power?

Speaker 3 (29:23):
They try to get that ball?

Speaker 1 (29:24):
Ain't nobody Oh oh okay, okay, okay, okay, yeah.

Speaker 3 (29:30):
Oh they be thinking in the but not that one.

Speaker 1 (29:36):
Hey want thinking about it? But they do anything under
that power. Boy, they don't play.

Speaker 3 (29:41):
Get that ball?

Speaker 5 (29:42):
Oh yeah, I got to have that.

Speaker 2 (29:46):
I mean, if you're a one eyed baby, after I
there talking about But I don't think that. I'm just
saying if you.

Speaker 5 (29:53):
Hey, well they don't play boy.

Speaker 2 (29:58):
No, Hey, I need the ball. I'm gonna do anything.
Dang man, They'll grab anything. Hey, Hey, guys be screeping.

Speaker 3 (30:07):
Hey, bad rep.

Speaker 2 (30:08):
He got a private that what they don't say private,
like bad? Will let go the ball again?

Speaker 5 (30:13):
Ref can't see that. Ref can't see that.

Speaker 2 (30:17):
He's like, hey, if you let go the ball, they
gonna let go head. Hey, we need the ball. That's
the most valuable thing right now. Hey, you'll know who
it is. But uh oh Joe. The Eagles beat the
Steelers in the Battle of Pennsylvania twenty seven thirteen, after
three consecutive weeks of being held over one hundred and
eighty yards. Jalen Hurst was twenty five and thirty two

(30:40):
two ninety with a pair of touchdowns. Brown and Smith
both went over one hundred yards, marking the fourth time
they treated defeat, setting a new record for the most
such games by duo in Eagles history. Kurt, their approach
was a little different this week. The grass will be
greener where you water it, where you decided to water
the past game. And that's the kind of roots that
you saw by.

Speaker 3 (31:01):
Label like that.

Speaker 2 (31:03):
Yeah, yeah, the grass is green on the other side,
if you watered, if you ferlize it, if your right.

Speaker 1 (31:10):
You you always got to It's all about upkeep sometimes,
you know. Sometimes it don't matter where you go, you know,
as long as you got some grass over there. It's
all about the details, you know, being sharp, paying attention.
M No, everybody ain't really got the discipline though, very
few got the discipline to take care of the grass.
You know, where it's green, you hear me. But anyway,

(31:32):
but that goddamn game was good though. I can tell you,
I can take you that the game was good and
it didn't take a turn for the worst for the
Steelers until now. J Harris Najie Harris fumble some of
that ball, you know it was it was it was
a little haywire. But what the Eagles did after that
on both sides of the ball was impressed.

Speaker 2 (31:55):
It would have been interesting to see had he knocked
on with that y ball. But you realize they got
their points now because TJ. Watt punched the ball out
of John Hurts. So I mean, if you if we're
being honest about it, I mean you think about it.
Russell Wilson was fourteen to twenty two for one hundred
and twenty eight yards. They ran the ball of seventeen

(32:18):
times for fifty six yards, so they had less than
two hundred yards as a matter of fact, to be
quite honest with you, that had less than one hundred
and ninety.

Speaker 3 (32:24):
Yards of total lot fend. Excuse me.

Speaker 2 (32:28):
You're not gonna win very many games with one hundred
and ninety yards of total lof fens unless your defense
takes the ball aways five six times a couple of
Scooper scores picked sixes other than that, and you sacked
the posing quarterback five six, eight nine times. But to
get no sacks and to get what he had one
turnover what Cooper to John fumbled on the punt. That's

(32:50):
how they really got a touchdown. Dejean fumbled on that punt.
But other than that, they really didn't move the ball. Offenses,
O Joe, this was probably the most This was their
worst offense we've seen. Was inserted back into the starting lineup.

Speaker 3 (33:05):
This was a the Eagles. The Eagles dominated.

Speaker 5 (33:08):
They got as it's the fact is it's okay.

Speaker 1 (33:11):
I think I think it's okay, and it's good that
Rusk Gout had a game like this. They had a
game like this, and they didn't just play against anybody.
They played against the Eagles, the Eagle team that has
won what ten nine, ten or more road So to
see him have a game like this, it's understandable. And
I want to say it's okay. I want to I
want to say it's okay, Boom. We back to the

(33:32):
drawing board. What do we need to do better going
forward from here? Because when we do play good teams
like the Eagles at some point that we'll we'll probably
have to face at some point maybe in the playoffs,
or a team that's in the a f C that
we might have to face in the playoffs.

Speaker 3 (33:46):
What do we need to do better?

Speaker 5 (33:47):
How do we execute the offense?

Speaker 1 (33:49):
Because I saw so many goddamn three and outs, three
and outs, three and outs from the goddamn stillers where
they couldn't they could never get themselves into a rhythm offensively,
They couldn't run the ball that got the man that
got the dayling.

Speaker 3 (34:03):
Carter, I tell you, but they got him.

Speaker 2 (34:09):
Playing that D line with Williams and Carter and David
would sweat. Oh the hey and they got them to them.
Two guys in the middle of zach Ron and.

Speaker 1 (34:21):
Them boy playing some ball. Yeah, so listen, there was
a collapse. They had a collapse last year. They were
ten and one and they collapsed the remainder of the season.
That ain't happening this year. Not that defense, absolutely, but.

Speaker 3 (34:38):
There were there were a situation on the sideline.

Speaker 2 (34:43):
I think Sarahanna was trying to talk to Jalen Carter uh,
the D line coach. I've never seen a team that
has such prosperity, but damn they argue about every They
constantly unction.

Speaker 1 (34:57):
I'm like that.

Speaker 3 (34:59):
I would really I hate to see if they.

Speaker 2 (35:00):
Would look so o Joe, if we're twelve and two,
we're eleven and two, we're ten and two and we're
arguing and we're bickering on the sideline, What the hell.

Speaker 3 (35:10):
Would it be if we fixed it or we fixing that,
You know what?

Speaker 5 (35:15):
It could be a sign, It could be a testament
to get Also, it could be a good thing. It
could be a good thing. Yeah, you never know what
it is.

Speaker 1 (35:21):
Obviously, I can't say what it is, especially from the
outside looking in. You know, players are passionate, coaches are passionate,
wanting everybody to be on the same page, not celebrating
too early, being that the game was some more close
cause it could have been an issue as well. But
it's a good thing to see that the coaches care,
see that the players care, and that everybody's on one

(35:42):
accord with the same understanding, with.

Speaker 5 (35:44):
The same end goal in mind.

Speaker 1 (35:46):
Let's let's let's keep that focus on what we're here
for and why we're doing what we're doing.

Speaker 3 (35:51):
Right them Georgia, Boy, they got like four guys starting.

Speaker 2 (35:57):
They got in n Kobe Dean, they got uh, David Carter,
they got Davis, they got a Nolan Smith Jr. I mean,
they got a lot of guys that starting that that's
from the University of Georgia. The Bulldogs them dogs. Uh,
but they're playing really really well.

Speaker 3 (36:13):
Now.

Speaker 2 (36:14):
I saw Washington driving Sleigh out of the back. I
I've never seen a guy get blocked that long that fault.
I hey, that's where oh Joe, that's where you just dropped.
And I know Slay didn't want to get dropped because
he didn't want to be Oh, I got bad Kke.

Speaker 3 (36:30):
He knows they're gonna show them four center.

Speaker 2 (36:32):
But Bro when the man drive you thirty yards out
of the back of the end zone, put your put
your back up against the wall.

Speaker 3 (36:38):
That's gonna get showed too. I mean it just still
don't shoe you do it?

Speaker 2 (36:43):
But ah, I mean he likes six eight like two seventy,
So it wasn't nothing they do, I.

Speaker 1 (36:49):
Think obviously, just speaking on that play in general, I
think it's unfair when they change the rules when guards
and tackles pull on sweeps, you know, and misdirection plays.
Now that the corners and safeties are at a disadvantage.

Speaker 3 (37:03):
Oh, you can't cut them.

Speaker 1 (37:04):
You can't cut no more, you can't create a power no, no,
you know. I think it's it's it's almost unfair. And
I mean the dbs in in safeties are at a disadvantage.
Uh you know, get good giving up one hundred almost
one hundred and fifty pounds.

Speaker 2 (37:17):
Yeah, but you but you and you hurt somebody and
see that if you try and see here's the thing
they say, you are you trying to make it safe
because you know, guys, hey, guys don't want the missho
these guys, hey, hey, stem and man ste they don't
really let you cut.

Speaker 3 (37:33):
And then tear your line like yeah, And so they say, look.

Speaker 2 (37:38):
We're gonna, we're gonna protect, We're gonna we're gonna try
to protect everybody. Obviously heavy emphasis on the quarterback. But
I like that rule because man, them guys going out
there and them guys just trying to take and even
on the run back, oh Joe, they won't let you.
The quarterback used to try to take the blockers out.
They won't let him do that anymore. And so that's
always been a rule on be on the you can't block,

(38:01):
you can't block below the wais. But uhh, the Eagles
look good. The Eagles look good. And I said this
about three weeks ago, I'm not so sure if Detroit
and the Eagles play, I'm not so sure I wouldn't
take the Eagles. I'm almost certain I would take the Detroit.
I would yeah, hey, hey, because the Eagles. The Eagles
have something that very few teams in the NFC have.

(38:24):
They front seven can go get home. And we know
golf is not mobile, that's not now, that's John Josh
Gallon that you try to get to it and get
his ass on the ground. You can get the Jared golf.

Speaker 1 (38:35):
But but but also remember now you still got to
do it that you still got to deal with that
runner game. You still got to deal with the runner game.
And if and if things are balanced, is that there's
a good dose of running, there's a good dose of pass. Listen,
Detroit can be very dangerous despite what they look, despite
that lost today.

Speaker 5 (38:52):
There ain't no slouch.

Speaker 3 (38:55):
No they're not.

Speaker 2 (38:56):
But you know, Philly, they love to play your shell.
They believe that can they can stop your run with
their front seven. And I don't see any reason why.
I haven't seen anything to make me to make me
feel that they can't because those big boys up front,
that D line is vicious. They go, they get at you,
and they did a great job on the Steelers today.

(39:17):
The Eagles look really really good. Twenty seven thirteen winners
over over the Pittsburgh Steelers, who fall to tenants four
but still lead the AFC sid AFC excuse me, nor Yeah,
we talked about that the team was leading by fourteen
in the fourth quarter. Where to see coaches yelling at
each other. Yeah, but hey, if i'm if, I'm if

(39:40):
I'm a team, I'm doing everything I can to.

Speaker 1 (39:43):
Try to get a lead on the Eagles because you
know they gonna they start folding, fighting up, fighting and
er money.

Speaker 2 (39:49):
Yeah, that's what I gotta I gotta see it. That's
what I want to see. That's all I want to see,
o Joe. I want to see if, if, if calmer
heads will prevail. But then I want to get a
lead and then see you know, hey, hey, I'm gonna
what I'm gonna do to A J.

Speaker 1 (40:05):
Brown.

Speaker 3 (40:06):
I'm gonna doublem early. I'm a frustrating you see.

Speaker 5 (40:10):
You see the kind of day you had today? Though?
Huh you see where are Yeah? I knew that was coming.
I knew that was coming anytime.

Speaker 1 (40:18):
I mean, listen, it's just it's just the way the
NFL works, just the way it works in general. You know,
you have a day where it's bad like that, you
say some things, and then the passing game today look
look look like they ain't miss a beat the thing.

Speaker 2 (40:35):
But like you said, oh Joe, Steelers do a great
job of the passing game. The passing game. Better do
something or you're gonna get beat.

Speaker 1 (40:43):
Absolutely, I absolutely knew this would be what happened today
because they're so good. Listen, they top five you know
in D and defense the Steelers, especially against the run.

Speaker 5 (40:52):
So I knew they were gonna have to put the
ball on the guy. They may have had some type
of success.

Speaker 2 (40:58):
Uh hey, and you know, and they were playing this
game without George Picking, but I would tell I'm gonna
tell Jorde Porter Junior this, Bro, they're not gonna call
that push off when he opens you up outside and
then he clubs you. They're not gonna call that. So
you can tell the official he doing this all he
wants you, they're not gonna call it. First of all,

(41:18):
it's within five yards of the line of scrimmage. So bro,
you gotta against the ay. You have to get in
the weight room cause you're a little light right now.
You gotta have to. You have to get You have
to be able to clamp up cause these guys, hey,
these big receivers like an A. J. Brown, they're gonna
play through contact every time. Every time they're gonna play,

(41:39):
they're gonna play through contact.

Speaker 1 (41:40):
For gi me, it's all about understanding your personnel. Understand
what you can do against certain receiver. There's some receivers
you know, they physical. You can either get physical with
them or use what you have for your advantage that
they don't your quickness, being quick, being twitchy, you know,
and just shout on them, just shout him, don't you

(42:00):
don't got you. You got to understand your opponents. You
got to play everybody different, you know, and what works.

Speaker 5 (42:05):
Best for you.

Speaker 3 (42:06):
Yeah you can't. Yeah, okay.

Speaker 2 (42:15):
Russell Wilson offense need George Pickings to get back. After
scoring twenty seven points in the first game. Without picking
the Steelers offense scored just thirteen manager one hundred and
sixty three total yards lost the time of possession by
nearly twenty minutes. One hundred and sixty three yards was
the fewest in the game since Week two of twenty ten.
So in almost fourteen years, almost fourteen years since they shit,

(42:37):
excuse me, that's fifteen years since they had that few yards.
But the Eagles are really good defensively. They dominated the game,
dominated time of possession. So when you see a team
dominate time of possession, you're not able to run the football.

Speaker 3 (42:50):
I don't think anybody is surprised by that number.

Speaker 2 (43:01):
O Joe Patrick Mahons ankle sprain overshadowed the Chiefs win
versus the Brown Mahomes left the game with an ankle
injury less than eight minutes remaining in the fourth quarter,
which was later determined to be a sprain ankle. Back
up Carson Wentz came into the ball game to finish
for the Chief. Andy Reids head coach Andy Reid said,
it's a little sore. It's literally day to day. He
probably could could have gone back in, but he would

(43:23):
He wanted to go back in, but there was no
need for that. Mahomes would have more tests on the
ankle of Monday. If I'm not mistaken, O Joe. They
play Saturday at home against the Houston Texans and then
follow that up on Wednesday against the Pittsburgh Steelers. Oh Joe,
I just don't they talk about three p They just
got to hope that Mahomes can finish healthy.

Speaker 3 (43:44):
If you watch this game, he running for his life.

Speaker 1 (43:47):
Yeah, definitely, more definitely, not only is he running for
his life. Listen, the Office of line played no disrespect
to the players. Office of line play. There has been
bad all season. Huh, that ain't Yes, it's been bad
all year. It's been a business. Oh yeah, there's nothing
that There's nothing that they can do. My homes can't complain.
I mean, there's I mean, who you're gonna complain to?
You got you got to play through it and just

(44:07):
hope at some point, you know, you have the right schemes,
you have to rope the right game plans and what
you can do.

Speaker 5 (44:13):
But still it's not it's not working. It's not working.

Speaker 3 (44:19):
They stays as they possibly can.

Speaker 5 (44:22):
You know what I think I think I think they
should do.

Speaker 1 (44:25):
I think Mahomes should relax on Saturday, relaxes Houston game.

Speaker 5 (44:30):
Who's the backup? Who's the back up again?

Speaker 3 (44:34):
Carlson?

Speaker 5 (44:35):
See yeah, look, Carson.

Speaker 1 (44:37):
Wentz has enough enough cash set, you know, and he
knows how to win and manage a game. I would
let Carson Wentz take over this Saturday against the Texans
and let Mahomes come back on Wednesday. What do you think, Mike?

Speaker 5 (44:54):
I mean, I'm just I mean, that's that's just That's
just how I feel.

Speaker 2 (44:58):
H It's gonna be interesting to see Buffalo. I think
Buffalo has an easy schedule, easier to say that they
got the pay They got the Patriots twice, they got
the Eagles, excuse me, the Patriots twice, they got the Jets,
and then who else did they have?

Speaker 3 (45:22):
I know, they got the Patriots twice the Jets. Is
that it?

Speaker 2 (45:32):
The Bills Patriots twice Jets, that's it. So they got
the Patriots. Think you about it. They got the Patriots
twice in the Jets.

Speaker 5 (45:44):
Oh that's not fair.

Speaker 3 (45:47):
That's not fair.

Speaker 5 (45:48):
But you know it's funny. That could be a trap game.
But anytime you play a divisional.

Speaker 2 (45:52):
Opponent, and have you seen the Patriots play. Have you
seen the Patriots? Yeah, okay, ain't no tray. Listen, they
better hope, they better hope. They better hope Buffalo get
trapped in Buffalo. That's the only trap chance. You gotta
win it.

Speaker 3 (46:08):
They get trapped and they can't.

Speaker 1 (46:10):
You games like that, man, teams always surprise each other,
you know, while put the Patris come out there and
do something crazy four quarters and stumble up on the win.

Speaker 5 (46:19):
It happened all the time.

Speaker 1 (46:20):
I don't know why it happened like that, but it
just happens all the time, especially with a team that's
been dominating the way Buffalo.

Speaker 2 (46:26):
Is and Kansas and Kansas City, Houston at home, Pittsburgh
on the road, Denver on the road, and Denver's playing
really really well.

Speaker 3 (46:39):
Denver had them on the ropes last time. If you
don't remember, they ended.

Speaker 1 (46:42):
Up a loo to kick at the end of the game.
Football guys on the chief side all season long. Man.

Speaker 2 (46:49):
Yeah, And here's the thing, because Buffalo beat She's head
to head. If they finished with the same record, Buffalo
gets home field throughout.

Speaker 1 (47:01):
That ain't really somewhere I would want to play a
half home field advantage anyway.

Speaker 2 (47:04):
Honestly, for me, this Buffalo looks different because even last year,
Josh still turned the ball over a lot, and he
put the ball in Harm's way a lot.

Speaker 3 (47:18):
He hasn't done that this year. Now remains to be seen.

Speaker 2 (47:22):
Come playoff time, pressure ramps up, Expectations ramps up, especially
if he continues to play like this. Oh Joe, I
think it's a two horse race between he and Lamar
Jackson for the MVP. Pittsburgh did a job that kind
of hurt Saquan's excuse me, MVP chances. So I think
it's a two horse race between Lamar and Josh Allen.

(47:45):
Josh is playing extremely, extremely well, but I think he
has what he has twelve ten twelve rushing touchdowns. He
has another twenty five passing touchdowns. Lamar is playing out
of his mind though. Lamar had five touchdowns today, so
he's probably what thirty three and.

Speaker 5 (48:01):
Three I missed. That's the one game I couldn't see, man, I.

Speaker 3 (48:06):
Was on a plane. Yeah, he had five.

Speaker 2 (48:09):
He had he had about two hundred and ninety yards passing,
five touchdowns, So I think it's out of those two.
But Josh just keeps doing it. So, I mean it's
every week. I mean, we saw what he did last week.
He's the first guy since nineteen fifty four to throw
for three touchdowns, rush for three touchdowns. He backed that

(48:30):
up with two touchdowns, another two touchdown Russia, another two
touchdown passes passing, and he's kind of been doing that
the entire season. Uh, and so it's gonna be very
very interesting. I really think it's a two horse race.
I don't think anybody else is in the conversation currently.
That's just me personally. Now, somebody might say, well, what
about this guy, what about that guy? I think it's

(48:50):
a two horse race now. And I don't see anybody
knocking Josh Allen off the Eagle the Patriots, I don't
see it now. Like you said, they could rise up
and play unbelievable still lose but suppress some of Josh's numbers.
But if he doesn't, I just don't see the ouist

(49:12):
don't see the skill. But I keep saying he was
the Patriots. I just don't see without him turning the
ball over. I just don't see how they score, have
enough offense to score.

Speaker 1 (49:20):
Yeah, man, you're right, you're right, You're right about that, man,
God Lee, Man, It's just it's something about them games
late in the season, I'm telling you, especially when it
comes to the Visional Games, it get it gets tricky,
it gets, it gets get real tricky.

Speaker 5 (49:37):
Even even listen, Buffalo is playing really really well.

Speaker 3 (49:40):
And I don't know what it is.

Speaker 5 (49:42):
It just it happens that you I see it. We
see it every year late in the season.

Speaker 2 (49:50):
Kansas City, Oh Joe. They just don't have any explosive plays.
Everything is nickeling dive. I mean, you look at Planty Mahomes,
he's channel eleven because everything is a shell cross, everything
is a smoke screen, everything is a spot route. There's
nothing that they're pushing the ball down the field.

Speaker 5 (50:06):
But this is what it was last year too.

Speaker 3 (50:09):
It was Diamond.

Speaker 5 (50:11):
Year before that, it Wasnlin Diamond. You got to think
they exposive plays.

Speaker 1 (50:14):
The last time they the Chiefs had those explosive players
that were used to seeing what hell was when Tyrek
was that that was what three.

Speaker 3 (50:20):
Four years they but they could occasionally get down the
field with bat.

Speaker 5 (50:25):
Every every every so often.

Speaker 2 (50:28):
But yeah, true, but Ojo, the offensive line is worse
now than it was last year. I don't think think
about it. They kicked you Joe Tunney from left guard
out to left tackle. That's how bad it's got. And
so now he's playing. Got kudos to it, because look,
my first game at left tackle and I gotta go

(50:49):
against Biles Garrett. What the hell is this all about?
The offensive line is worse and the defense looked clearly clearly.

Speaker 3 (51:02):
I don't know.

Speaker 2 (51:03):
God must have been busy when James was when James
Winston prayed about, you know, turning the turning the ball over, but.

Speaker 3 (51:10):
He did it again.

Speaker 2 (51:11):
And the three interceptions O Joe three he had what
he had four? And what a fumble against the Broncos.
He had turned the ball over about three times. Last
week he turned the ball over three times. And you
know what I'm saying that Look, I understand, but when
you say that's not who I am. Turning the ball
over is exactly right, right, right, right right. That's been

(51:32):
your emo. You turn them all over. Your your sophomore
year at Florida State. You came into the league turning
the ball over. He's only had one season in which
he haven't turned the ball over double digit. As far
as interceptions, we ain't even count the Fumblesoe, we're just
talking about picks. But when I look at it, when
I just look at the Chiefs, O Joe, I mean,
it's just like every play Mahomes is running for his life.

(51:55):
He's trying to throw jump passes, he's getting pulled down,
he's throwing the ball, he's scrambling, he's running for us life.
It's just I just don't see how they I just
don't you look. I understand last year, last year. It
ain't got nothing to do with this year. I just
don't say if if if he were to win the
Super Bowl with that offensive line, you might have to
call him to go because.

Speaker 5 (52:14):
We've never seen anything with offensive line that bad.

Speaker 3 (52:18):
The offensive line that bad, yes, oh man.

Speaker 1 (52:28):
And one of the things that makes the that makes
the chief so great is their ability to adapt, to
adjust and make the necessary changes, you know in season,
you know that they need to make. So this will
be a testament to how great their coaching. Their coaching is,
you know, because this is when it counts on and.

Speaker 3 (52:51):
In today's game, one of the Chiefs.

Speaker 2 (52:52):
One of the Chief's biggest issues were the inability to
manufacturer takeaways. UH twelve and one record, the Chiefs had
not had produced just ten turnovers, which was tied for
third fewest in the league. Today, the Chiefs became the
third team in the last fifteen season to log six
plus takeaways plus five plus five sacks in the game

(53:14):
at least five sacks in the game. The Chiefs six
takeaways were the most of the game since Kansas City
Week three took the ball away from the Jets eight times.
In twenty sixteen, Oh Joe. The Cowboys beat the Panthers
thirty to fourteen. Coming off the deflating loss to the
Bengals on Monday, the Cowboys responded on a short week
With the exception of one play Bryce Young's the defense

(53:37):
mother Bryce Young. The offense was efficient and a reconfigured
offensive line, and Cooper Rush had his first three touchdown
game of his career at six and eight the Cowboys
still have a chance to make the playoffs, even if
it's faint.

Speaker 3 (53:50):
They have a milk chance. Two. With another loss, it
goes down to skim hold on.

Speaker 1 (53:57):
So even with a six knight record, Cowboys still have
an opportunity, have a chance to make the goddamn playoffs.

Speaker 3 (54:04):
Yeah, nine and eight, they're gonna have to get to somehow.

Speaker 2 (54:07):
They gotta get to nine and eight and then hope
some and then hope somebody in the West foss. Oh,
So because you're getting three teams, first of all, you're
getting three teams. First of all, you're getting three teams
out of the the NFC, the NFC going because those
teams already have ten wins. So you got two teams
out of twelven that got uh eleven and two, a

(54:28):
ten and four and a twelve and two. So you
already got three teams above tim. So those three teams
are going to the playoffs automatically. Now the NFC South
is gonna get a team in the NFC. The NFC
West could potentially get two teams in because which comes
eight and six?

Speaker 3 (54:45):
Uh, Seattle's eighteen six? What's uh? What's Aras? What's Arizona?
They're seven and seven.

Speaker 5 (54:56):
Okay, they even five hundred?

Speaker 3 (54:58):
What's uh? What's the ram? Okay? See what you got?
Two teams already at eight damn.

Speaker 2 (55:10):
So they gotta win out and then hope something tragically happened,
something happens to one of the the rams of the Seahawks.

Speaker 1 (55:18):
It ain't gonna happen. Could you imagine the Cowboys make
it though? Can you imagine the Cowboys make it to
the playoffs.

Speaker 3 (55:24):
And get their eyes beat out and get their eyes
beat out?

Speaker 2 (55:29):
Oh oh, we're gonna find out because guess what they
got the Bucks on Sunday Night.

Speaker 3 (55:34):
The Bucks are really good. Baker's playing hold on.

Speaker 5 (55:38):
The Cowboys got the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.

Speaker 1 (55:42):
Say in Jerry's World, Yep, many you see you see
the Bucks hung up for the today, right.

Speaker 2 (55:49):
I first saw that Mike Evis was back, Mike Evins.
Mike Evis said, I ain't tried to I ain't trying
to let my father yard.

Speaker 3 (55:55):
Street go just yet.

Speaker 1 (55:56):
I wonder how many yards he got to go before
you hit it? You got they got three games left, right,
I know he needed he need a four hundred something.

Speaker 3 (56:06):
Well he needs probably that three hundred something now two fifty.

Speaker 5 (56:08):
Dang, oh yeah he can probably he can make it.
He can make it.

Speaker 3 (56:12):
Yeah.

Speaker 2 (56:13):
But here's the thing, the big the game might come down,
uh what's uh, what's uh the commander's record. They're eight
and six or they're ninety six, they're nine and five.
So they win another game, what you call him, can't
catch them. So there goes your wild card. Right there,
they're done. All Washington have to do is win one

(56:37):
game that gives him the ten wins. The Cowboys can't
get the ten wins. The best they can do is
get the nine. There it goes right there. Washington wins
one more game Washington has. They have the Cowboys, they
at Dallas. I think they got the Eagles again, and
then the Giants, Eagans, Eagles, Falcons, Cowboys.

Speaker 3 (57:04):
Oh they gonna get the Falcons. H All they got
to do is get to get the ten and you're in.

Speaker 2 (57:11):
So basically you think, o jo, that's like you like
the Bowl, right, Hey, all they gotta do is strike
out and I lock you out.

Speaker 3 (57:19):
Hey, noning you could do.

Speaker 5 (57:21):
So basically, what you're saying is the Cowboys probably gonna
make the playoffs.

Speaker 3 (57:25):
No they're not.

Speaker 5 (57:26):
You don't believe them at all. Nope, no, what percentage?

Speaker 2 (57:30):
If Washington gets one more win, they get to ten.
The Cowboys can't get to ten wins?

Speaker 3 (57:37):
All right?

Speaker 1 (57:38):
Uh?

Speaker 3 (57:40):
The Cowboys? Okay? Ceedee Lamb? About eight catches her eight? Uh? Okay,
Detroit's twelve and two, Eagles twelve and two.

Speaker 2 (57:54):
Right now, if the playoffs were to start today, number
one seed would be the True Number two would be
the Eagles, Number three would be the Bucks. Number four
would be the Rams. The number one wild card would
be Minnesota at eleven and two, Green Bead ten and four,
the Commanders at eight ninety five, Seattle at eight and six,
Arizona at seventy seven, Falcons at sixty seven forty nine,

(58:18):
Ers at six and eight, the Cowboys at six and eight.

Speaker 3 (58:20):
So they twelve?

Speaker 2 (58:21):
Okay, got only sixteeneen, So Ceedee Lamb played really played
great in the Gay today. He had eight catches for
one hundred and five yards and a touchdown in the
first half, securing his fourth straight one thousand yard season.

Speaker 3 (58:37):
He finished with nine catches for a buck sixteen.

Speaker 2 (58:39):
Ric o'dondo had also had an outstanding game twenty five
carries a buck forty nine, his best game as a pro.
The Cowboys ran the ball forty times, two hundred and
eleven yards.

Speaker 3 (58:51):
When you can run it, you see how whatever you
want to have the game to take off for jump
uh and the But the defense was out standing.

Speaker 2 (59:01):
Golston a sack, Michael Parsons two sacks of tackle for loss,
Lewis a sack, tackle for loss, uh Lawton.

Speaker 3 (59:11):
Sack tackle for loss six.

Speaker 2 (59:14):
They had six sacks, seven tackle for losses, and they
picked off Bryce Young twice. Well, if you do that,
the chance you're gonna win the game.

Speaker 1 (59:27):
Yeah, listen, Dallas. They were playing the Panthers and the Planters.
The Panthers have been playing really good football. To pack ye,
Bryce Young has been playing really really good football. You know,
the past three or four weeks, they've been competing. They
might have been losing, but they've been doing something we
haven't seen them do all year. They've been competing and

(59:48):
been in games all the way until the last minute.
The Cowboys defense today obviously a ton of they came
to play. They came to play, They came to play.
They definitely came to play. He had a ton of
ton of ton of penalties, a handful of turnovers, and
held that they still had a good showing. They still
had a good showing.

Speaker 5 (01:00:08):
It was it was, it was, it was good.

Speaker 3 (01:00:10):
It was good.

Speaker 2 (01:00:15):
So Cowboys trying to hold on, say let's play this
thing out. That game last week really hurt him a lot, that.

Speaker 1 (01:00:23):
Game against them, which is that I hope you don't
think they was finna beat us.

Speaker 2 (01:00:31):
Well, if y'all have played, If y'all, if they had
any quarterback other than will Levers today, y'all would have lost.

Speaker 3 (01:00:37):
What did you see?

Speaker 5 (01:00:39):
Did you see? Did you see Chase? Did you see
t Higgins?

Speaker 3 (01:00:42):
