Speaker 1 (00:00):
The Buffalo Bills somehow, some way pull off the impossible
versus the Baltimore Ravens on Sunday Night Football, their opening
game of the season. According to ESPN Analytics, the Buffalo
Bills only had a one point one percent chance of
(00:21):
winning this football game. Down forty to twenty five with
four minutes left, Josh Allen finds a receiver on fourth
and two that gets deflected and goes right into his
receiver's hands. Derrick Henry fumbles, The Buffalo Bills score a
(00:42):
touchdown and fail to convert on the two point conversion,
and then the Ravens go three and out. Buffalo gets
the ball back and Matt Prater kicks the game winning
field goal after he takes a red eye to Buffalo
(01:04):
on Thursday morning. And that's how the game ends. And
when there are crazy endings like this, it's hard to
point at a specific player and say you lost us
the game. Because the Ravens scored forty points and Derrick
(01:28):
Henry rushed for one hundred and sixty nine yards and
two touchdowns. Lamar Jackson threw for two touchdowns himself without
having an interception or turnover, and through for over two
hundred yards. In this game, the impossible happened. And when
(01:56):
the impossible happens, you can't look at a specific player
and say you cost us the game, but rather you
need to look at different events throughout the impossible and
recognize them for what they are impossible. The fact that
(02:22):
Josh Allen's tipped pass went right to a Buffalo Bell's
wide receiver on fourth and two was just the beginning
of the impossible. And then the fact that Derrick Henry,
who never fumbles the ball, just became another part of
(02:46):
the impossible. And then the fact that the Buffalo Bills
scored touch but failed to convert the two point conversion,
but then get the ball back after the Ravens go
three and when they'd been scoring on drives all day,
(03:08):
was just another part of the impossible. Somehow, things that
rarely happened, tip passes, Derrick Henry, fumbles, Ravens going three
and out, feeling two point converged. All of it happened
(03:28):
in a matter of four minutes or less, and it
was the game of the year. The Baltimore Ravens scored
on seven of their first eight drives, and they didn't
even need to score at the end of the game,
all they needed to do was converge a first down,
one single first down, and the game was over. All
(03:52):
that had to happen was Josh Allen's deflected pass not
going right to one of his own receivers, and it
was a flood of impossible momentum in the favor of
the Buffalo Bills. And sometimes crap like that just happens,
(04:19):
and there's really no explanation behind it, because there were
so many different things in the final four minutes that
happened that you would never expect. To me. One of
the biggest surprises of this game is how many people
(04:41):
stayed up to watch this game when the Ravens were
up forty to twenty five with four minutes left. Because
if I were in that situation, I would have turned
that game off immediately and went up state and gone
(05:01):
to bed before it got too late. But here's me
falling asleep on the couch at eight forty five. So
I missed the entire game and cut up this morning
via YouTube. And when you have games like that happen,
(05:23):
it is very deflating to a player, because I think
after the game you're wrapping your mind around how that
happened because at the four minute mark of that game,
the Ravens, I'm sure were already preparing themselves to celebrate
(05:48):
after the game and starting the season one and oh
especially after losing to Buffalo in the playoffs last year,
and somehow they crumble in the final four minutes of
the game. But after the game, Lamar Jackson shoved a fan.
(06:16):
But if I first need to tell you about Hoakland
Farms Beef nine five two five four one called Jared
for the best rotation grades one hundred percent grass fed beef.
If you want beef, steaks, chuck roast and more for
about four dollars a pound, contact Hoakland Farms nine five
two four nine one five four one, contact Jared and
(06:39):
they'll give you a twenty percent off your first order
by telling him Tim sent you nine five two four
five four one. So Lamar Jackson pushed a fan after
the game. And in these instances, I am normally anti
(07:00):
player because I want to bring up composure, I want
to bring up patience and understanding. But in this instance
I am pro player because a player should have the
(07:21):
right to protect himself if a fan of an opposing
team is going to slap his helmet. If a player
is going to be treated unfairly, not verbally, not with
(07:42):
a sign, but physically, that fan has it coming. And
the NFL should not punish Lamar Jackson because Lamar Jackson
was protecting him and his teammate, because he does not
know what that fan is possibly going to do. A
(08:07):
drunken Buffalo Bills fan. You have no idea what that
guy is capable of. And this is as much on
the NFL as it is the fan, because the NFL
(08:29):
needs to take steps to protect their assets, because the
assets are the players, and this particular asset is a
former MVP of the league. And I think one of
the dumbest things the NFL allows is having players walk
(08:54):
so close to fans as they leave the stadium. Why
can't you make those tunnels a little bit wider, or
have a railing, or have some sort of method in
place so that the fan can't touch a player as
he's walking off the field, but rather create a boundary
(09:19):
so that if the player wants to side out of
grass or do that whole slap in hands thing, he
can go to the fan. But Lamar Jackson and the
Ravens were just walking off the field, minding their own
business and a fan slaps Lamar Jackson across the head,
(09:39):
and Lamar Jackson, being mature and responsible, takes ownership of
the situation and basically says, I should have acted differently.
I shouldn't have been overcome by my emotion. Hopefully it
doesn't have up and again I'm gonna learn from it.
(10:04):
But that's the pr answer. Deep down inside, Lamar Jackson
knows or believes that allowing fans to mess or touch
you as a member of the different team as outlandish
(10:26):
and unfair, and the NFL needs to protect their players,
even from stupid things like this. Yes, the fan just
hit Lamar Jackson on the head or on the helmet,
but Lamar Jackson was minding his own business. If anything
should happen, it should happen to the fan. And it
(10:49):
looked like he was ejected from this game, and so
that happened. But there should be future ramifications that this
fan has to deal with, because allowing him back into
(11:12):
a stadium where he messed with the player and opposing player,
then he has lost all credibility or trust moving forward.
But the Buffalo Bills pull off the impossible versus the
Baltimore Ravens and somehow win. And that's how Sunday Night
(11:33):
Football ends. Aaron Rodgers through four touchdown passes against his
former New York Jets team and thanks to Chris Boswell,
the Pittsburgh Steelers defeat the Jets in another thriller, thirty
(11:59):
four thirty two, And this season is Aaron Rodgers's revenge tour.
Aaron Rodgers is on a revenge tour this season because
it's not only that the Jets didn't want Aaron Rodgers.
(12:21):
It's not only that the Packers didn't want Aaron Rodgers
a few years ago. It's that thirty one other NFL
franchises did not want Aaron Rodgers. He was on the
market forever this offseason, waiting for any Super Bowl contending
(12:50):
team to combine for his services, and there was only one,
the Pittsburgh Steelers. There was no competition for Aaron Rodgers's services.
There was no controversy over the bidding war for Aaron Rodgers.
(13:14):
The Vikings had a conversation and had some dialogue at
their facility, but Aaron Rodgers was forced to sign with
the Steelers or his other choice was to retire and
(13:36):
he chose the Steelers, and he throws four touchdown passes.
And now as other NFL teams see this potential resurgence
from Aaron Rodgers against a Jets defense coached by a
(13:56):
defensive head coach and as Sas Gardner, he throw four
touchdown passes. And I'm sure a lot of it was
needling by Mike Tomlin, because I'm sure you won't throw
for four touchdown passes and zero interceptions in the future,
(14:17):
or at least multiple times again in the season. But
it was a game that is going to make many
other NFL franchises this season question their decision to pass
(14:39):
on Aaron Rodgers, especially if the quarterback that you put
trust in. For example, the Vikings and Jason McCarthy, they said,
Rogers will pass on you. We're gonna put our super
Bowl hopes and trust in rookie, essentially rookie quarterback Jajen McCarthy.
(15:02):
And if McCarthy goes out there and fails in the
Vikings home opener on the road against the Chicago Bears,
there will be people within that Vikings organization that are
going to regret passing on Aaron Rodgers because Aaron Rodgers
(15:23):
wanted to be a Viking, and that's what he was
holding out hope for to sign with the Vikings. And
then he goes out and has a one hundred and
thirty six quarterback rating twenty two for thirty two hundred
and forty four yards, four touchdown, zero interceptions. This season
is the Aaron Rodgers revenge Tour, and he is going
(15:52):
to do everything within his power to make sure that
every single team regrets passing on Rogers. Rogers has used
this formula to feel his fire throughout his entire career
when he dropped in the first round of the NFL Draft.
(16:16):
He has used that fire throughout his entire career. And
now here's more fire because it's very similar to the
exact same situation where he drops. He's a free agent.
Teams are passing and passing and passing, saying no thanks,
and then there is one that took him, that took
(16:39):
a chance on the forty one year old quarterback that
hasn't had a successful season in a few seasons, and
now he goes and throws four touchdowns in zero interceptions.
All right, last story, the Giants scored six points against
the Commanders. Russell Wilson seventeen for thirty seven and sixty
(17:00):
eight yards, zero touchdown, zero picks, lose twenty one six.
Their season was over before it started. The Giants had
no chance of this season to be a good team.
Their first five games are tough, besides that fifth game
at the Saint They could win that one, but the
(17:22):
same showed some toughness and their opener versus the Arizona Cardinals.
But the points that I want to make is what
are they doing with Russell Wilson. Russell Wilson went from
Seattle to Denver to Pittsburgh to the Giants. Nobody wants
him anymore. What are they doing starting Russell Wilson. Jackson
(17:46):
Dart needs to start now. What are you waiting for?
The future isn't in five weeks from now when the
Giants suck ass in R zero to five. The future
is right now. Russell Wilson is not aging like a
(18:06):
fine wine, and he didn't have the worst of worst games.
But Jackson Dart presents and gives the Giants another dynamic
that Russell Wilson does not. Russell Wilson is doing his
best to just survive in the NFL, and that's why
(18:29):
he has bounced from team to team to team to team,
Denver eight eighty million dollars in dead cat because they
didn't want Russell Wilson on the roster. The Pittsburgh Steelers said,
I'd rather have forty one year old Aaron Rodgers than
Russell Wilson. And Russell Wilson is looking around the league
(18:55):
just trying to find a team that will somehow fall
for this charade of being this Super Bowl winning quarterback
and bringing a veteran presence into the quarterback room. Because
(19:15):
I will give this to Russell Wilson. He is the
best interviewing technician in the world that somehow gets the
keys to four different franchises in the final stage of
his career. Because his numbers ain't great, they aren't terrible,
(19:39):
But Russell Wilson, he's not one of those quarterbacks that's
really ever going to have the worst numbers in the world.
Zero picks but zero touchdowns. He takes care of the ball,
but he doesn't give the Giants their best opportunity to win.
And that's why Jackson Dark should start immediately on the
(20:02):
road at Dallas, especially because of what he provided the
Giants in the preseason. Some real numbers and skill and accuracy.
And when you look around the league last year, Jade
and Daniels bow Knicks players that took their organizations that
(20:28):
weren't expected to do anything and took them to the playoffs.
That could be the Giants and Jackson Darts story this
season if he was given an opportunity to do it.
But the longer the Giants wait, the more likely Brian
(20:49):
Dable is to be fired. And the longer the Giants wait,
the quicker their season is over. Something they should do
right now. Thanks for joining the show today hit that
