Good Morning Football is the production of the NFL in
partnership with iHeartRadio.
Speaker 2 (00:22):
Good Morning Football.
Speaker 3 (00:24):
That's right, this is Good Morning Football.
Speaker 4 (00:25):
We are brought to you by Old Trapper Beef Jerkey
live in LA and New York City.
Speaker 3 (00:29):
It's Monday, the Summer sixteenth.
Speaker 4 (00:30):
This is off Bar about Shabi a Milla, Peter Schrager,
Kyle Brant, Isaiah Standbach. I'm Jamie Erdall. Kyle was kind
of on one in the first hour on GMFB. Kyle
quick question, quick quotes? Were you did you for example,
this weekend this past week that we just lived like
this is a hide in a room and pretend like
you're wrapping gifts, but really you get to watch a
lot of football. Army name, Is this what you did
(00:51):
this weekend? Because I feel like you're coming shot out
of a cannon today.
Speaker 5 (00:54):
This weekend in my home there was the fifth grader
sleepover birthday party of my son. So I am not rested,
I'm not healthy. So maybe what you're picking up on
is just a free eight ends of sanity and I'm
just ready to roll.
Speaker 6 (01:07):
If that's the case.
Speaker 5 (01:08):
Every weekend sleepover party in my house.
Speaker 4 (01:10):
That was rock and roll, put Kyle Brandt at the
end of sanity and put him out on live television,
and you never know what's gonna happen. First, be a
professional and read the highlights from Detroit yesterday.
Speaker 7 (01:20):
All right, here we go.
Speaker 5 (01:21):
You got to compose yourself.
Speaker 6 (01:22):
You gotta be professionals live television.
Speaker 7 (01:24):
Peter, you know that to do it.
Speaker 2 (01:26):
I saw you on Fox this week.
Speaker 8 (01:27):
He did a wonderful job.
Speaker 6 (01:28):
I had a student tie on to do.
Speaker 9 (01:29):
All right, let's go to Chiefs versus Browns. Patrick Mahomes
has had success against the Browns. Fourth quarter, we got
a game twenty one to seven, Jamis and the Browns
hanging around Jamis just lets it rip and look at
this pick by Trent McDuffie. He watched the JumboTron to
get an angle on this, he said afterwards.
Speaker 6 (01:50):
And he gets the pick.
Speaker 9 (01:52):
But then this fourth and three game appears to be
turnding to be over. Mahomes gets cracked in half and
look at his lower leg here limping. And this is
going to be the story for the next twenty days.
Speaker 6 (02:02):
I think we're gonna be talking about this daily. Ian
Rapaport will join us chortly.
Speaker 9 (02:06):
Obviously, they hit high but the lower leg is what
we're interested in. He would get removed. Obviously they put
him on the sideline. Now afterwards they said he might
have been able to go back in Carson Wentz as
the backup quarterback. They now have two games in a
very short time span. You've got a game Saturday and
then a game on the following Wednesday.
Speaker 6 (02:28):
Here was Patrick Mahomes, who still do the media availability.
Speaker 9 (02:31):
Afterwards. I would appeared to be an ankle injury.
Speaker 10 (02:34):
I mean, it's hard to say right now. I mean,
obviously he's still adrenaline rolling in. Usually it's kind of
the day after when you kind of get a good
sense of it. But I feel like I could have
finished the game in different circumstances. But I thought the
smart decision I think we talked about was to put
Carson in, and he's played a lot of football and
he finished the game.
Speaker 4 (02:49):
Well, could have finished the game under different circumstances, I
don't know. The Chiefs were up twenty one to nothing,
a three score lead that they had not experienced thus
far this season. You see that happened to Patrick Mahomes.
Check schedule, rapsheet. What is this outlook appear to be
for the Chiefs and their quarterback.
Speaker 11 (03:06):
First, we'll get to the diagnosis for Patrick Mahomes. My
understanding is the fears that is a high ankle sprain
for the chief star quarterback, which certainly sounds bad and
a lot of times we know that high ankle sprains
can mean four to six weeks. The reason Mahomes says
under different circumstances and might have been able to return
is he literally did it a couple of years back
(03:27):
in the playoffs. High ankle sprain was able to come back,
continue to play, rehabbed around the clock was a huge
deal and Mahomes was able to get on the field
and somehow function. He is built different, and I hope
people say built different, but he actually is built different.
His body is different, could withstand injuries, especially lower body injuries,
as we have seen better than most people just by
(03:49):
the way he is constructed, I guess. So we'll see
what the determination is. A couple of important notes. He
has more tests today to determine the severity of this
high ankle sprain. X rays were negative and sources say
is considered weak to week, which could potentially means that
he missed some time. He has the Saturday game, and
then he has the Christmas game. So a lot of
(04:09):
eyeballs said to be on the Chiefs and Mahomes this
coming couple.
Speaker 4 (04:12):
Weeks, and the eyeball count has a lot to do
with the fact that Mahomes is on that Saturday special,
on a Christmas Day special. So there's a lot of
ripple effects to this beyond just the team rhaps sheet.
Thank you so much. You see the Chiefs they approve
to thirteen and one, and this is how the rest
of the AFC tallly's out all right, the Bills pending
disaster from the Chiefs down the stretch right now, they
(04:34):
still have that number two spot. The Chiefs still have
the buy, which is massively important if your quarterback isn't
feeling quite right. Texans look to get things back on
track yesterday. But the point of the Christmas Day games
on Netflix is that four of the top five teams
are playing each other, and how that affects the leaderboard
remains to be seen.
Speaker 3 (04:54):
Peter back out to you.
Speaker 4 (04:56):
You know this Chiefs team, you know the personnel, the coaches,
the management, ownership, everything. They're thirteen and one. How we
got here though? What do you make of this current
state of the Chiefs.
Speaker 6 (05:05):
We got quite a quandary, don't we.
Speaker 9 (05:07):
This is a pickle if you're the Chiefs, how do
you handle the next few games? So you want the
one seed, it's very important. That means you get an
extra week and they get a buy what none of
the other teams do, and they got to beat up
on each other.
Speaker 6 (05:18):
You want that one seed.
Speaker 9 (05:19):
But I think more important than the one seed is
Patrick Mahomes's health for that playoff run.
Speaker 7 (05:24):
So do you.
Speaker 9 (05:24):
Sacrifice Mahomes for a couple weeks here if you have to,
and then maybe sacrifice giving up that one seed. That's
the question they're having. Mahomes is waking up right now.
It's eight am on the Central time. His ankle could
be a giant balloon, swelled, We don't know, could be swollen,
It could be fine. We'll get details in the next
couple hours. I look at the schedule and they play Saturday,
(05:49):
so short week against the Houston Texans. Can Carson Wentz
go and beat the Houston Texans that home? Can they
get that job done? Then in four days four days
from Saturday to Wednesday, they have to go play the
Steelers in Pittsburgh. If I were to tell you that
Patrick Mahomes could have the next two full weeks off,
(06:11):
let this thing heal, and then finish up in week
eighteen and then go have a bye week, have another week,
and then play in the playoffs. Think you would sign
up for that. But do you sacrifice that if you
give up the one seat to the Bills. Remember they
lost to the Bills. They are only losses to the Bills,
So though they have a two game advantage over the
Bills in the standings, it's really just a one game advantage.
You have to win two of the next three to
(06:33):
secure that buy. Can you do it without Mahomes? That's
the question. And what a gut gut wrenching deal that
would be for Netflix in the NFL if it's Carson
Wentz and the Steelers. I'm just telling you that right now,
the NFL and Netflix are not looking to see Carson
Wentz on there.
Speaker 7 (06:49):
So do you.
Speaker 9 (06:50):
Arrest them this week, maybe lose, and then start them
against Pittsburgh and you get your Christmas game and you
get your Mahomes and you get all that, or do
you play it really safe and potentially have this situation
on Christmas where it's Carson Wentz and not Mahomes. Not
the Chiefs problem, folks, not the Chiefs problem at all.
They're worried about Lombardi.
Speaker 6 (07:07):
It is not about satisfying everyone else.
Speaker 7 (07:09):
Yeah, Peter, I'll answer that for you. I say, yeah,
they should.
Speaker 12 (07:13):
I think we should play Patrick Mahomes in this situation.
I mean, this offense has really been hanging on by
a thread. We can all admit it. This, They've been
hanging on by a thread. Even with the great Patrick Mahomes.
I think you put you go on, you put Carson
Wentz in there. Sure he's going to be serviceable because
of you know, his record and his background. But as
far as making sure that this offense is on beat
(07:34):
and hitting, nah no, no, you can't do that. I
think they need to finish out strong with that. And
then even with the ankle. Even with the ankle, they've
got stuff from that look and I get it, a
high ankle spring sucks. But if anybody can play through
that injury, it is going to be Patrick Mahomes.
Speaker 6 (07:49):
Now.
Speaker 12 (07:50):
The good thing for him is is that he's a
quarterback that can stay in the pocket and not necessarily
have to reaggravate it. Now, look, they're gonna have to
protect him. They have issues on the offensive line, especially
at that left tackle position. They're moving the guards out
to the tackle and they're doing all sorts of little
move around musical chairs. But I think that you have
to play Patrick Mahomes or I don't think that they'll
(08:10):
just start losing down down the road here.
Speaker 7 (08:12):
And I'm not in on that.
Speaker 12 (08:13):
So I say play Patrick Mahomes And I bet you
Andy Reid agrees with that as well.
Speaker 13 (08:17):
Why is this stand Bay disagrees?
Speaker 7 (08:19):
Oh, do not play him through.
Speaker 13 (08:20):
The rest of his dog off season, especially with a
high angle spring. And I don't know how many people
out there have had a high angle spring.
Speaker 3 (08:25):
But it sucks.
Speaker 13 (08:26):
And just because he's came back from it before, you
do not want to go ahead and wear and tear
on that thing.
Speaker 7 (08:32):
You need him for that.
Speaker 6 (08:33):
Three or four game run when it matters.
Speaker 13 (08:35):
Yes, you would love to have home field advantage and
all the stuff, but at the end of the day,
your defense has been carrying you through the season. So
lean on a little lean on me k little Morgan Freeman,
lean on Stevens Magno in this defense and let those
walk you.
Speaker 7 (08:50):
Let those guys cook because you need your QB one.
Speaker 13 (08:53):
The last thing you need is him hobbling through the playoffs,
even though he's showing you his kids he can do
it in the past.
Speaker 5 (08:58):
It's two massive factors hanging in the bounds here. One
just what exactly is the status?
Speaker 6 (09:03):
Like how bad?
Speaker 7 (09:03):
Is it all?
Speaker 5 (09:04):
Right?
Speaker 7 (09:04):
Look really bad?
Speaker 5 (09:05):
It reminded me a lot of the same exact hit
he took against Jacksonville in the playoffs a few years.
Speaker 7 (09:08):
Ago, and he came back on that one.
Speaker 5 (09:10):
But this is why we have the rap sheets and
the palliseras and the garriffoalows. Because even Patrick was saying,
yesterday he goes, my adrenaline's going right now. Usually it's
the next day. I see how it is so real
time this morning, follow how it goes, because it could
be actually he woke up and it feels great, he's
ready to go, or it looks worse. The other factor
is what are we getting from Carson Wentz. This is
a really interesting thing, I think because for years it
(09:31):
was just Chad Henny and we knew it and he
would go in and do his job. We have a
lot of history with Carson Wentz, not so much on
the Chiefs. But a guy who's been in a ton
of big games, and if he really is kind of good,
then absolutely let it go. If I'm going with a
nuclear option of do you, as Peter says, roll them
out there we need these wins, or keep him back,
I am definitely keeping them off the field. I'm not
(09:52):
even talking about for this week. I'm not talking about
a Christmas. I also would give him the final week
of the regular season and just let it be the
reason why last year there and they're in the wildcard game.
Speaker 6 (10:01):
They didn't have.
Speaker 5 (10:02):
The one last year they go on and they also
went at Buffalo last year, and while they always be
Buffalo in the playoffs, I would much rather take my
shot winning through the wildcard and in buffloying an extra
with Mahomes. Yes, with we got nothing, We don't Mahomes right,
They're not going to win the AFC. If Patrick Mahomes
is limping around, you got to get them right. So
if the prognosis is bad, then yes, absolutely, I would
(10:22):
keep them off the field as long as possible.
Speaker 7 (10:24):
They're a thirteen to one team.
Speaker 5 (10:26):
We got the two, we got to play an extra game,
so we'll blow the doors off whoever that wildcard team is,
and then go to Buffalo and do it we always do,
which is win. The idea of Mahomes, it's seventy percent.
Not this year, guys, Not with this offense. Not with
this offense that never scores much and the AFC is
really good past years. Maybe I don't think this Chiefs
team can do anything else other than one hundred percent.
Speaker 7 (10:44):
Mahomes.
Speaker 4 (10:45):
It's crazy that what hangs in the balance is if
they stand where they are right now with the number
one overall seed, they get the extra week because they
would have the buy.
Speaker 3 (10:53):
So it's like this very odd trigreation of Peter real.
Speaker 4 (10:56):
Quick, is they need two wins to steal the one
overall seed.
Speaker 9 (10:59):
Yeah, if the Bills are to win out and the
Chiefs only win one more game because they had the
tie breaker, the Bills would be.
Speaker 7 (11:06):
The one seed.
Speaker 9 (11:07):
But if they win two games, they finished with one
win more than the Bills and they would still get
the one seed and the buy, even if you know
Mahomes or Wentz.
Speaker 6 (11:15):
Whoever's out there.
Speaker 9 (11:16):
So they have to win two of the next three
to secure that number one seed.
Speaker 4 (11:19):
My mind isn't a pretzel, and I cannot imagine what
Andy Reid must feel like, or Frankly Mahomes because you
know he's going to advocate for his team but also
his health over the next six.
Speaker 6 (11:28):
It's a Carson Wentz Christmas.
Speaker 7 (11:31):
No, I'm not going there. I'm sorry, I'm sorry.
Speaker 3 (11:33):
I want for Christmas? Is a doubleheader on Netflix.
Speaker 4 (11:37):
Nod they watch her two oh No, just brilliant doubleheader, Kyle,
there's a next sale nine days away.
Speaker 3 (11:45):
Here we go one pm.
Speaker 4 (11:46):
Eastern Chiefs and Pittsburgh taking on the Steelers, Andy Reid,
My Tomlin special for thirty FM Eastern Ta Meeko Ryans
and the Harbor showing up in Houston. Christmas Day doubleheader
on Netflix. Truly looking forward to it. Look those beautiful
snow globes. That would be kind of a cool gift
if you had two teams they want had to head
all the time, all right, The Chargers justin Herbert La
(12:07):
Baker and the Bucks they came into so far.
Speaker 3 (12:10):
Wow, Baker in the books look awesome.
Speaker 4 (12:12):
Can't figure out what the Chargers are doing in the
back half of the season, and what does this all
mean for the Greater Harball rookie season in La.
Speaker 5 (12:20):
Plus we got big players making massive plays.
Speaker 2 (12:23):
In Week fifteen, Ceedee Lamb had a great game. Did
you watch?
Speaker 14 (12:27):
You should have.
Speaker 6 (12:28):
You should watch every game like we do. We're gonna
head out game balls. Next the Jets were lighted up.
Speaker 7 (12:32):
We had it was weird.
Speaker 9 (12:33):
Burrow always like I said something up back in on Rogers.
Speaker 7 (12:36):
You're back.
Speaker 2 (12:36):
Bring them back to Peter.
Speaker 9 (12:39):
They look great.
Speaker 14 (12:39):
Let's go Good morning football.
Speaker 9 (12:51):
Lamar Jackson put on a show as we're doing flips
about Josh Allen being the MVP. We got about one
hundred tweets from Ravens fans saying, guys, did any of
you see what Lamar is doing?
Speaker 6 (12:59):
Numbers wise? He right up there. That's to Mark Andrews,
who becomes the.
Speaker 9 (13:03):
All time I'm leader in Ravens scoring touchdowns as a receiver.
Mark Andrews incredible, incredible career with Baltimore. But Lamar have
five touchdown passes getting him from all different receivers. Five
touchdown passes. Lamar Jackson fantasy owners say, thank you.
Speaker 5 (13:20):
Coach showed up and played some ball and made two
very high profile mistakes in Denver. They were in this game,
they were leading this game, and you've probably seen the
play already from Jonathan Taylor, this great running back who
we have a lot of respect for. I love Jonathan Taylor.
You already know what happens here. He dropped the ball
at the goal line.
Speaker 7 (13:36):
He said after the game.
Speaker 5 (13:38):
It just can't happen, no matter the game, no matter
the scenario. You could be up fifty down by fifty
playoff game, first.
Speaker 3 (13:43):
Game of the season.
Speaker 6 (13:44):
That should never happen.
Speaker 5 (13:45):
I think he felt absolutely terrible, embarrassed, mortified all of it.
It's a guy who scored a lot of touchdowns in
his life and never done that before, and he just
feels terrible.
Speaker 2 (13:53):
Now the coach do this.
Speaker 7 (13:55):
It's a double pass.
Speaker 2 (13:56):
Watch what happens, Bam.
Speaker 5 (13:57):
It is picked off by Nick Benito but Ada, and
I Mitchell is the guy who threw it. He said
after the game. I executed fifteen turned into Ed Reid
in the middle of the play.
Speaker 2 (14:07):
It's a funny session.
Speaker 5 (14:08):
At his locker, he goes, I don't know, I did
my job.
Speaker 3 (14:10):
Fifteen became Ed Reid and he's.
Speaker 5 (14:12):
Right, that's literally a quote thirty one to thirteen. They
get taken away, Peter.
Speaker 9 (14:16):
Yeah, and here we were doing the top of the
AMC earlier in the show.
Speaker 12 (14:19):
Let's look at that second row.
Speaker 9 (14:21):
Looks like the playoff picture is almost set with these
teams and the barn some disasters, but wins from the Ravens,
wins from the Broncos, went from the Texans, but a
loss from the Steelers, lost from the Chargers.
Speaker 6 (14:33):
And of course l's for those heater.
Speaker 5 (14:35):
You always did these breakdowns and the chances and calculations.
I want to see one for that ten right there.
I want to see one for Cincinnatis. That's probably extensive.
Speaker 9 (14:42):
That sounds like a Schreker's Beautiful Mind segment for tomorrow, folks.
Speaker 6 (14:45):
How do the Bengals get in? We'll get into that.
Speaker 3 (14:48):
I love Schrager's Beautiful Mind.
Speaker 4 (14:50):
I can't believe we haven't stepped into it yet. It
is that time of year on GMFB. To Peter's point,
let's look at the right side of the screen in
the AFC Wildcard. Right now, two of those teams play
a short week. It's Broncos Chargers Thursday Night Football. It's
coming up in just a few short days.
Speaker 3 (15:03):
Peter.
Speaker 4 (15:04):
When you look at Lurking and the wildcard spots, where.
Speaker 3 (15:07):
Do your eyes go?
Speaker 9 (15:08):
I think that we have what looks to be the
wildcard teams right here, and at the very least, you know,
we say the four, which is not a wildcard, their
division winner, but they're gonna be. We probably get rid
of them, so she'll be five six seven, right. What's
up with the Chargers? What's up with the Chargers?
Speaker 6 (15:22):
I have a real hard time wrapping my arms around
the Chargers. We've done this. Jim Harbaugh is the this
was a terrible loss yesterday.
Speaker 2 (15:29):
Really Now they got bailed.
Speaker 9 (15:31):
Out because the Broncos beat the Colts and they don't
have to worry about the Colts coming and they're gonna
play the Broncos again this weekend. We'll do the same
flips about Harbaugh and look out great Justin Herbert is
can this team win a good game?
Speaker 2 (15:43):
Are they even capable of it?
Speaker 6 (15:45):
Take a look at their wins and their losses, and
I feel bad doing a Chargers takedown here, all right?
Speaker 9 (15:52):
So they beating the Raiders, the Panthers, a Patser Tanless, Denver,
the Saints, the Browns, the Titans.
Speaker 6 (16:01):
They're not a good team in that bunch. So you're
telling me that this Harball new look.
Speaker 9 (16:05):
And you think they play a good team, They lose.
Speaker 6 (16:08):
That's just been the case.
Speaker 2 (16:10):
I don't know.
Speaker 9 (16:10):
Everyone's doing flips about Herbert and Harbaugh and how great
things are and how they've changed this season and if
the new Chargers we're going into week sixteen.
Speaker 5 (16:19):
I like Peter, it's like Jim Harbaugh beats Minnesota in
Northwestern and Illinois but then loses to.
Speaker 2 (16:25):
Florida sorta or sorta.
Speaker 9 (16:27):
I would also look at it like it every way
like the Harball things great and we do like Brendan
Staley could have been in those teams, and Wade Phillips
could have been in those teams and whoever else could.
Speaker 6 (16:36):
I would love for once the Chargers.
Speaker 9 (16:38):
To win up a game. Would just love it once.
It didn't happen this weekend.
Speaker 7 (16:42):
Again, No it didn't. It was my son went to
that game.
Speaker 12 (16:45):
It was a little disappointing to watch, especially since I
was hYP hyping that up for a little men. He
came back to, like, Dad, what were you talking about?
But you know, the Ravens, they're another one that I'm
very very excited about and the way they played, and
I think you're right. Whoever those raven fans that were
tweeting at you guys, you're right, because Lamar Jackson, I
don't know what the against the New York Giants, but
(17:05):
still it's an NFL team. Five touchdowns in this game,
and he is going to make some real noise. And
I look at I look at this, you know situation.
Speaker 7 (17:14):
We see that the.
Speaker 12 (17:14):
Teams, the four teams that are are essentially in this
from winning their divisions. You look at obviously the AFC East,
you look at the AFC, looking at the AFC North.
This matchup next week where you have the Ravens against
the Steelers, that's gonna.
Speaker 2 (17:28):
Tell us a lot.
Speaker 7 (17:29):
I truly believe.
Speaker 12 (17:30):
That the Ravens are the stronger team. They're going to
go out and I think they're gonna really really push on.
There's the one team that between the Buffalo Bills and
you know, obviously the Kansas City Chiefs, these two teams
are ones that you really have to be concerned about.
I think it's going to be a nice little jam
right there between the Ravens, the Bills and the Kansas
City Chiefs.
Speaker 13 (17:48):
You guys are going to a fancy restaurant and order
something and then when it comes to your table, you
kind of look at it sideways like what is that
you I ordered it.
Speaker 2 (17:57):
Thought, not what I thought.
Speaker 13 (17:59):
That's exactly what the Denver Broncos are right now. You
just don't know what they are. You know, you felt
like you knew what it was when you order it,
but then the last few games you're like, what is that?
Speaker 7 (18:07):
Right?
Speaker 13 (18:07):
And you look at it and talking about this is
a Sean Payton led team, and you feel confident in
the abilities of him as a head coach, and you
felt good about bow Knicks because he was lighting it up.
Weeks two through twelve, this dude only had two interceptions,
but over the last two weeks he's had five interceptions,
and you wonder why he's turned into a gunslinger. All
of a sudden, he started looking about it. If these
guys are going to sneak into the playoffs, can they
(18:28):
beat teams playing like this?
Speaker 7 (18:30):
And the answer is no.
Speaker 13 (18:31):
These guys are in the four game winning streak, but
they have won against teams like the Falcons, the Raiders,
the Browns and the Colts.
Speaker 7 (18:37):
These are teams that you can beat in your sleep.
Speaker 13 (18:39):
But the teams that they have to play next or
are they going to be the Chargers, the Bengals and
the Chiefs so they have to clean this thing up
before trying to even think about trying to get in
this playoff run, because even if they do, they can't
do it throwing pigs.
Speaker 5 (18:49):
One of the hottest memes right now that I keep
seeing is that man stands up in a small town
meeting and says something brave. Peter said it to me recently.
I won't say what it was about, but Peter sent
it to me recently with the take. But I saw
one of these yesterday. It was the guy standing up
and it was Joe Burrow is the best player in
the league, and like, that's our bold tank and listen,
(19:09):
we're in a Josh Allen world and that's fine. But
I don't really remember a season quite exactly like this
where the player is so good and certainly the receiver
is so good, and yet the record is still coming
off a win, coming off two wins in a row,
it's still so bad. So we started it to begin
the segment. Let's just talk about it now. Bengals, they
(19:30):
have the chance.
Speaker 2 (19:31):
They're alive.
Speaker 5 (19:32):
I think we did the Gone Fishing mock up like
a few weeks ago.
Speaker 7 (19:35):
I'm like, they're done, they're done.
Speaker 5 (19:37):
They're a sub five hundred team and yet bring up
the AFC playoffs standings like get yeah, look at them.
Speaker 2 (19:42):
Did the boat turn around?
Speaker 7 (19:43):
All right?
Speaker 5 (19:44):
The Dolphins had a terrible loss yesterday. It's really really bad.
So did Indianapolis. And then in order to avoid going fishing,
you have to have a team that comes back down
to earth. Now, Peter just basically lambasted the Chargers to
say that they're fake tough guys will never beat anybody.
We don't have the exact scenario yet, but all we
have right this time of year is you want to
(20:04):
see the Bengals remaining schedule, just give it.
Speaker 3 (20:06):
To I don't love it.
Speaker 5 (20:07):
It's versus Cleveland at home, Fine, you win, versus Denver
at home.
Speaker 6 (20:12):
Tom, you win?
Speaker 5 (20:13):
And then who do they finish with at Pittsburgh who
might be resting, and there's divisional games you never know,
like they just can go anyway. So that would be
the miracle upon miracle. I don't have the percentage in
front of me. I'm sure that when they were four
and eight it was point zero zero three percent repeating.
But the Bengals somehow won, and if they don't, Joe Burrow,
I think it's like I think he's the runner up
for MVP behind Alan. It's just that weird and that bizarre,
(20:35):
but it's really fun and now I'm kind of rooting
for it.
Speaker 6 (20:38):
Yeah.
Speaker 4 (20:38):
I was wondering if Cincinnati came down hard on you,
Kyle after that graphic with the gone fish in a
couple of weeks back, or is that boat just lingering
out in the sound like waiting for the fall court
side here it is apparently we have it graphically, We
just have it at the ready. This is dated, you guys.
We should have put a date on this. You did this, Kyle,
speak to it.
Speaker 2 (20:55):
Yeah, Peter Jamie, it was.
Speaker 5 (20:56):
It was week thirteen, after they come off the by
they lose to Pittsburgh. They give up forty four points,
they go to four and eight, and I'm like, we.
Speaker 2 (21:04):
Got these guys go.
Speaker 5 (21:05):
At the time, they had the passing leader, the receiving leader,
the sack leader, and they could never win a game.
They beat the Cowboys, they beat the Titans.
Speaker 9 (21:13):
We'll see, what would you think if we're watching Hard
Knocks this week and they show this very segment as
a motivational tool to the Bengals And he looks at
Joe Burrow and t Higgins it a great day, and
Jamar Chase it says they already have us fishing.
Speaker 7 (21:27):
I could do this boys live board material.
Speaker 3 (21:29):
The way that.
Speaker 4 (21:29):
Burrow was talking to Zach Taylor yesterday is like two
guys in a boat somebody cut the line too early
and be like.
Speaker 3 (21:34):
But I'm you were supposed to pull that the tether and.
Speaker 4 (21:37):
What It's just like, I can't do fishing talk. But
that's how passionate it was.
Speaker 2 (21:40):
Okay, all right, Cowboys. Carolinup's fun game to watch.
Speaker 5 (21:45):
The Panthers had some cool highlights in this game, but
Rerice Young did not play very well and they got
throttled thirty to fourteen. If you care, I'm sure you do.
Speaker 7 (21:53):
It's football. Cowboys six and eight.
Speaker 9 (21:56):
Let's go to New England versus Arizona. A lot of
controversy in Boston this morning based on Gerrod Mayo's comments
on Alex van Pelt the offensive.
Speaker 6 (22:03):
Corner after the game.
Speaker 9 (22:04):
But during the game, Cardinals season teetering here, but yet
they would find a way to win. Drake may souting
out standing rookie season, doing all he can, but you
can't do much about that interception, and then the Cardinals takeover.
This was another forgettable one and there were curious decisions
on the Patriots offense, a lot of weird third and
(22:25):
one choices, fourth and one decisions.
Speaker 7 (22:27):
Interesting.
Speaker 6 (22:28):
We'll be watching that one as it goes the final few. Yeah,
I think New England.
Speaker 9 (22:31):
There's gonna be a busy week of sports media buzz
up in Boston based on some of the play calls
and the coaches like Travis Hunter.
Speaker 3 (22:39):
Yeah, all right, let's go game balls.
Speaker 4 (22:42):
You guys got a ball in New York because get ready,
Awk War is gonna go first and we're gonna go
game balls from over the weekend?
Speaker 1 (22:48):
Off bar?
Speaker 3 (22:48):
Who you got?
Speaker 12 (22:48):
All right, game ball? I'm gonna give this to A. J.
Brown and Jalen hurts you. There's a lot of hoop
log going on about their ability to you know, if
they were getting together and they're mad at each other,
but look at this, these two they were praying together.
Like I told you guys last week, they were playing together,
and a quarterback and wide receiver that play together stayed
together and they played together, and that's exactly what they did.
(23:09):
Hit the kid in play right there, celebrating they were.
Speaker 2 (23:12):
To the house.
Speaker 5 (23:13):
A J.
Speaker 12 (23:13):
Brown to the house one hundred plus yards in a touchdown.
Also Devonte Smith too, he also got one hundred plus
in a touchdown. They did the kid in play. Come
on now, it was a house party and I had
to wear this shit shirt. Yeah there right there, the
house party kid.
Speaker 3 (23:28):
Yeah, he just had it under his holiday sweater. He
had it ready.
Speaker 2 (23:32):
It's perfect, perfect books.
Speaker 6 (23:33):
Peter, Peter, that's great.
Speaker 9 (23:34):
I don't have a T shirt for this guy, but
I do have a gold jacket or he's ready to
wear it. Mike Evans is going to cat and he
had my game ball for yes. Today Mike Evans was
unbelievable one hundred and fifty nine yards, nine catches, two
touchdowns as the Buccaneers absolutely blow out the Chargers. Evans
absolute baller. Look at what he's done here. Most seasons
(23:58):
are one thousand receiving yards fourteen.
Speaker 6 (24:01):
For Jerry Rice. Evans is second tyrabout and guess what
he just.
Speaker 9 (24:05):
Needs two hundred and fifty one receiving yards in the
last three games, averaging eighty four yards per game to
get it for the eleventh time, and that would be
every season of his NFL career.
Speaker 6 (24:17):
Mike Evans, you balled out or they needed your most.
Speaker 2 (24:20):
You always do.
Speaker 6 (24:21):
This has been with Jamis, this.
Speaker 9 (24:23):
Has been with McCown, this has been.
Speaker 2 (24:25):
With Brady, and now it's with Baker.
Speaker 6 (24:29):
We see you, Mike Evans.
Speaker 9 (24:30):
I have the utmost respect, especially coming off the injury
the way he has.
Speaker 7 (24:33):
I see what you did.
Speaker 13 (24:34):
I'm gonna go with the guy that they're gonna say,
I'm gonna call you almost almost perfect. I'm going with
Lamar Jackson. This dude was twenty one of twenty five
for two hundred.
Speaker 7 (24:43):
And nine yards in five tunnies.
Speaker 13 (24:45):
You guys, see what I said, five tunnies and then
he had six.
Speaker 7 (24:48):
Rushes for sixty five yards.
Speaker 13 (24:49):
This dude is only fifth in passing in the league.
You guys can continue to talk about the Buffalo Biles,
you continue to talk about Josh Allen. All this dude
is gonna continue to do is work on his craft.
This is the aspect of his game that everybody has
always questioned, and yet he almost went perfect.
Speaker 6 (25:03):
Keep sleeping on him.
Speaker 7 (25:04):
He's going to remind you exactly who he is when
a playoffs gone.
Speaker 3 (25:06):
Tony got to though he can share the wealth.
Speaker 4 (25:08):
Look bit right, there's a really fun argument to be
had if you want to argue for the best college
football team of all time. I have recency bias. I
covered the twenty nineteen LSU Tigers, so I think they're
pretty solid. A little story back that season. Halfway through
or doing a game with the CBS screw, we're in
Baton Rouge and Ed o'jeron, who's a wonderful man and
a wonderful coach. We leave a production meeting and I
(25:29):
asked my colleagues, did ed Ojon just say that there
is a rookie on defense that if he chose to
play wide receiver he would be garnering looks with Jamar
Chase and Justin Jefferson And we all thought, yeah, he
really said that. Ed Ojeron in twenty nineteen said if
Derek Stingly wanted to play wide receiver, he would be
right up there with some of the best that ever
played college and NFL. That's because Derek Stingley has sick hands.
(25:53):
Derek Singley Junior has my game ball from over the weekend,
the cornerback for.
Speaker 3 (25:57):
The Houston Texas.
Speaker 4 (25:58):
The Texans defense really won the game for Houston yesterday,
twenty to twelve win over Miami. But Demiko Ryan's now
a few years later, says he is one of a kind.
His ball skills and how he can play the ball
in the air is the best I have ever seen
in my life. That is from Demiico Ryans. That is
a kid who could play any position he wants to
on the field, and he chooses to be a quarterback
(26:20):
in the NFL.
Speaker 3 (26:21):
Derek Sigley Junior, you have my game ball, Go Tigers.
Speaker 6 (26:23):
That's a great, great choice.
Speaker 8 (26:25):
I love it, and I love ed oh yes, and
I love going back to late September when we were
promised all kinds of magic, fireworks and majesty from Davante Adams.
Speaker 5 (26:35):
It took a while, but we got it. Did you
watch the second half of that game. I've never seen
a better football player in my life, which is the
most amazing thing. Rogers was cooking, of course, but Davante,
who had no catches on two targets in the first half,
damn near dropped two hundred yards and two quarters hundredth
career touchdown, also the longest play of his career he had,
and it was almost like this months of frustration and I.
Speaker 2 (26:59):
Let that catch come on.
Speaker 7 (27:01):
What's awesome?
Speaker 6 (27:02):
You all that I couldn't believe it.
Speaker 5 (27:04):
I was watching a Jets Jaguars game in December of
twenty twenty four and completely riveted, and he was just
like he was the best player on the field. And
Rogers is jumping up and down and cavorting on the field,
and I know it's bitter as hell because it's looking
here patting him down like that.
Speaker 2 (27:20):
Sean jeffersones, what's he looking for?
Speaker 6 (27:22):
I love that one hundred career touchdowns.
Speaker 5 (27:24):
It's there's there's a subtext tier of angst and frustration.
Speaker 7 (27:28):
But at least for that second half.
Speaker 5 (27:30):
Of that one game in Jacksonville, he absolutely destroyed it.
I don't know if he's gonna be a Jet next year.
I don't know if Rod's gonna be Jet next year.
Maybe they both may bring him back, bringing.
Speaker 6 (27:37):
Peter says, I'd say, I bring them both back.
Speaker 5 (27:39):
You have taken our local Jersey skeptic and turned his
frown upside.
Speaker 9 (27:44):
I would say this, and I hate to take the
segment by storm here. If I'm the Jets, I wait
till I hire my coach in my GM, And if
they want them back, I would say, offer them a
discounted rate. If they say yes, why not and draft
a rookie quarterback and away we go.
Speaker 6 (27:56):
It's amazing.
Speaker 5 (27:57):
It's you know the part in the Grinch where the
heart grows and breaks the bracket. That's Peter right now
as a Jersey guy. His heart is breaking the bracket.
About the Jets. Save that clip, I Peter said, you
know what, bring him in back them at this guy.
Speaker 7 (28:09):
I love it.
Speaker 9 (28:10):
Rogers has a documentary out on that foot.
Speaker 3 (28:12):
Run it back.
Speaker 4 (28:13):
His heart was three sizes too small until DeVante Adams
showed up. Well done, game balls all around GMFB. We
love it On a Monday one of our favorite segments.
Congrats to all those guys wrapping up our day after.
Speaker 2 (28:24):
This Good Morning Football.
Speaker 9 (28:36):
Every Monday morning we hand out the Coach of the
Week award. Could be a head coach, could be an assistant,
could be a coordinator. This week we go to Los Angeles,
where the guy who really made his NFL resume, bolstered
in Los Angeles for years under Sean McVay, came back
home and absolutely lit up the LA Chargers. Our coach
of the week is Buccaneers offensive coordinator.
Speaker 6 (28:56):
Liam o'wellia the Bucks offense. Yesterday, I scored.
Speaker 9 (29:00):
Forty points, did not punt once and racked up five
hundred and six yards of offense. On Jesse Minter's vaunted
Chargers d Bucky.
Speaker 6 (29:10):
Irving had one hundred and seventeen yards.
Speaker 9 (29:12):
The Bucks ran for two hundred and twenty three yards,
and they went nine to fifteen on third down. Baker
Mayfield only had five incomplete passes and the team again
did not punt. Liam Cohen remember Dave Kanalits was the OC.
Last year he gets a head coaching job with Carolina.
They hired Liam Cohen as the OC and Liam Cohen's
(29:33):
team look at these numbers yesterday against a good Chargers
defense in La.
Speaker 6 (29:40):
Want to say at the bottom of Peter.
Speaker 9 (29:41):
Zero punts, Liam Cohen, get to know his name well.
It is going to start popping up in a lot
of head coaching conversations over the next several weeks. I
can tell you now makes a lot of sense with
the Jets, makes a lot of sense with the Saints,
makes a lot of sense with the Bears, and it
will make a lot of sense with any team looking
to get an offensive bump and some good quarterback coaching
(30:03):
for their quarterback. Liam Cohen, of course, with Stafford, was
that at Kentucky, went back to LA and then of
course is now in Tampa. Liam Cohen, yes, the offensive
coordinator of the tam Bay Buccaneers, is our coach of
the week.
Speaker 6 (30:15):
And Cherry Burris, you've got some news of the week
I do.
Speaker 3 (30:18):
I want to give you a shout out, Peter.
Speaker 15 (30:19):
I saw on the Fox pregame show you call the
Buccaneers beating the Chargers, so I signed on that and
you're welcome.
Speaker 2 (30:25):
How about the Ravens.
Speaker 15 (30:26):
Eyes on them now following their bye week four straight
times they won their game coming off the by and
that thing's in part to five touchdowns by Lamar Jackson.
One of those touchdown passes going to tight end Mark Andrews,
who now holds a franchise record in touchdowns, surpassing running
back Jamal Lewis.
Speaker 3 (30:44):
Andrews now with forty eight career touchdowns.
Speaker 15 (30:46):
Poke with our Mike herefollow about the record setting performance.
Speaker 4 (30:51):
All right, Mark, you walked onto this field tied for
first in franchise history with touchdowns.
Speaker 2 (30:56):
You got the record.
Speaker 1 (30:57):
Congratulations.
Speaker 3 (30:58):
The feelings when you knew you had.
Speaker 16 (30:59):
Mike, Yeah, it's good to talk with you, but you know,
mainly just happy you've got to win happy the way
the guys bought played and you'll put together a good game.
But extremely fortunate to be a part of this organization,
this team and everybody that I've played with throughout the years,
and there's so many good players and great players that
have come before me to lead the way.
Speaker 4 (31:15):
You got a short week now and then a shorter
week at woodyard line.
Speaker 2 (31:18):
Walking off the field, here, will you put this one
behind you?
Speaker 16 (31:20):
Start looking forward immediately you know we're gonna we're gonna
take the train back, get to Baltimore and start working
on the Steelers.
Speaker 7 (31:26):
That's a big game for us.
Speaker 3 (31:27):
And that Steelers game me talking about.
Speaker 15 (31:28):
They're playing on Saturday before their Christmas Day showdown with
the Texans, so that will be three games in just
eleven days for Baltimore head Scratchers.
Speaker 4 (31:39):
This is an adorable dog. And we always love when
they look at you so confused. What we don't really
love when plays make us feel confused about life. Peter,
what did you see yesterday that had your scratch in
your head?
Speaker 6 (31:48):
I love this one.
Speaker 9 (31:49):
Actually it was Trent McDuffie's interception in the game, and
on the surface, it's like, all right, there's Trent making
another big plays one of the best defensive backs in football.
Speaker 6 (31:56):
But after the game, McDuffie said.
Speaker 9 (31:58):
He saw that he had to go to this place
because he was watching it on the jumbo tron to
see where.
Speaker 6 (32:03):
He had to be.
Speaker 9 (32:04):
He made the playoffter looking up top, and he looked
and saw.
Speaker 2 (32:07):
Where he had to go.
Speaker 9 (32:09):
An unbelievable interception, and of course this was the game
seiler in a lot of ways. Trent McDuffie, it is
an honor to watch this guy play football. Former first
round pick and Washington Hutsky I said he had.
Speaker 3 (32:22):
Is ready, he had him ready. I go to the Cardinals.
There was a goal line.
Speaker 4 (32:26):
Situation, the ball was approaching it, somebody was carrying it,
the ball gets dropped big man hustle. Though Jonah Williams
comes up with this fumble recovery. However, watching the game
on red Zone, Scott Hanson just came up with like
a whole new touchdown category. I need like the real
official ruling on this. Statistically, Scott Hanson here what he had.
Speaker 2 (32:44):
To say, looks suck at that in three they handed
off to Doors.
Speaker 10 (32:47):
Doors to his left trying to get to the edge,
and he's inside the five down to the wyevel the.
Speaker 3 (32:52):
Ball Jonah Williams fell on top of it.
Speaker 5 (32:56):
Here comes seventy three and he jumps on the ball.
Speaker 9 (32:59):
Does he have it?
Speaker 2 (32:59):
Before he touches out a bounce?
Speaker 12 (33:01):
It was recovered in the end zone by an offensive player.
Speaker 7 (33:04):
Touchdown.
Speaker 5 (33:05):
Jonah Williams gets on it right before he rolls on
the mountain?
Speaker 2 (33:09):
Who had it?
Speaker 10 (33:10):
On the bingo car that Jonah Williams put up the
game's first touchdown.
Speaker 2 (33:14):
Somebody must have It's.
Speaker 1 (33:15):
Not called a rushing touchdown or even a recovery touchdown.
Speaker 7 (33:18):
It's called an other touchdown. Jonah Williams with the score
for Arizona.
Speaker 4 (33:23):
Other is that a thing that's an peter? Isn't an
other touchdown? Isn't it a fumble? I was so confused
it legitimately had me scratching my head, crazy misus miscellaneous
such shatter.
Speaker 7 (33:37):
It was an otd.
Speaker 3 (33:38):
OTD not yet other.
Speaker 12 (33:41):
Well, you know, there was a touchdown in a game,
in a very very big game with the Colts and
the Broncos, and unfortunately it wasn't as such. Jonathan Taylor
had me going, wait, what this is a veteran running
back who knows that this is a great opportunity to
get two scores ahead on the Denver Broncos, and right
at the gold line he just drops the ball. This
(34:03):
one was a handscratcher for me. I couldn't believe it.
I know he was very, very sick to his stomach
about this one, and he admitted as much, but still
could do that, and that changed the complex of the
complexity of the game.
Speaker 7 (34:13):
They were never able to get back after that.
Speaker 5 (34:16):
I never thought I would say this, but I related
to Lamar Jackson yesterday. He's running around the field trying
to do his job and his pants are falling down.
Speaker 2 (34:23):
Ever have this maybe and the pants are too big?
Speaker 5 (34:27):
Sadly, watch what happens on Peter someday. He's running and
he's pulling up his pants as he scrambles, and it's like,
what happened, Lamar? You are that cool that you can
just run around against the giants and pull up your pants?
Speaker 6 (34:40):
Now?
Speaker 5 (34:40):
Are we over exaggerating? Is this just some random thing
that happened in this hand?
Speaker 3 (34:43):
Oh?
Speaker 16 (34:44):
No?
Speaker 5 (34:44):
Listen to him after the game describe it in great detail,
and I totally have been there.
Speaker 6 (34:49):
Scramble.
Speaker 13 (34:49):
I think in the first half of it looked like
you maybe having to hold up your.
Speaker 8 (34:52):
Pants, all right, So look.
Speaker 17 (34:56):
He was asking me that, So I'm like, I felt
like Winn was touching my butt, you know. Soon I
was trying to keep my tights up for real, like
the tights just like gotta let loose it, Ohn News.
So I'm like, just kind of keep my pats up,
that's all.
Speaker 7 (35:10):
It was too cold like wind.
Speaker 5 (35:16):
If you ever feel some wind in places that you
don't usually feel when something's wrong like somethings and you
have to remedy it quickly, Peter, there's sometimes even on
the show, and we've gotten not to do some demos,
we've had some wardrobe malfunction and we're not supposed to
use that phrase, but Lamar had win yesterday and I've
totally been there.
Speaker 13 (35:30):
Man, if you would have looked over his shoulder and
try to show and lost it.
Speaker 7 (35:35):
Yeah, yeah, listen up.
Speaker 13 (35:37):
We've been talking a lot about you know, the anger
runs a lot of times. Right, it's not Tuesday, but
a lot of these specialists are starting to get a
little bit too bold for me. Okay, a lot of
these guys are trying to get and.
Speaker 7 (35:45):
They want to smoke.
Speaker 13 (35:46):
You see here, against the Carolina Panthers versus the Dallas Cowboys.
They kick it off to turf and why do you
give it to Turpin?
Speaker 7 (35:51):
I don't know.
Speaker 13 (35:52):
But at the end of this play, you're gonna see
a little scuffle, and you know who starts to scuffle
This guy right here that is the kicker for the
Carolina Panthers.
Speaker 2 (35:58):
Yeah, yeah, I want that.
Speaker 7 (36:01):
Wait, wait a minute, I.
Speaker 6 (36:02):
Just got two reel.
Speaker 13 (36:08):
What is going on with these specialists that they think
they are about that life? There is a difference between
specialists and the rest of the football players on the team.
Speaker 7 (36:15):
Don't get too bold and pull your chest down and
end up on the ground covering up your head. Johnny,
heck so good.
Speaker 4 (36:21):
That went from like pushing and shoving to like hands
up by the ears and quickly into.
Speaker 7 (36:25):
The fetal position.
Speaker 4 (36:27):
I want to don't want no, guys, my first Christmas
YF I opened already Holiday Get the Warrior white jersey

of on one in the first hour on GMFB. Kyle
quick question, quick quotes? Were you did you for example,
this weekend this past week that we just lived like
this is a hide in a room and pretend like
you're wrapping gifts, but really you get to watch a
lot of football. Army name, Is this what you did
(00:51):
this weekend? Because I feel like you're coming shot out
of a cannon today.
Speaker 5 (00:54):
This weekend in my home there was the fifth grader
sleepover birthday party of my son. So I am not rested,
I'm not healthy. So maybe what you're picking up on
is just a free eight ends of sanity and I'm
just ready to roll.
Speaker 6 (01:07):
If that's the case.
Speaker 5 (01:08):
Every weekend sleepover party in my house.
Speaker 4 (01:10):
That was rock and roll, put Kyle Brandt at the
end of sanity and put him out on live television,
and you never know what's gonna happen. First, be a
professional and read the highlights from Detroit yesterday.
Speaker 7 (01:20):
All right, here we go.
Speaker 5 (01:21):
You got to compose yourself.
Speaker 6 (01:22):
You gotta be professionals live television.
Speaker 7 (01:24):
Peter, you know that to do it.
Speaker 2 (01:26):
I saw you on Fox this week.
Speaker 8 (01:27):
He did a wonderful job.
Speaker 6 (01:28):
I had a student tie on to do.
Speaker 9 (01:29):
All right, let's go to Chiefs versus Browns. Patrick Mahomes
has had success against the Browns. Fourth quarter, we got
a game twenty one to seven, Jamis and the Browns
hanging around Jamis just lets it rip and look at
this pick by Trent McDuffie. He watched the JumboTron to
get an angle on this, he said afterwards.
Speaker 6 (01:50):
And he gets the pick.
Speaker 9 (01:52):
But then this fourth and three game appears to be
turnding to be over. Mahomes gets cracked in half and
look at his lower leg here limping. And this is
going to be the story for the next twenty days.
Speaker 6 (02:02):
I think we're gonna be talking about this daily. Ian
Rapaport will join us chortly.
Speaker 9 (02:06):
Obviously, they hit high but the lower leg is what
we're interested in. He would get removed. Obviously they put
him on the sideline. Now afterwards they said he might
have been able to go back in Carson Wentz as
the backup quarterback. They now have two games in a
very short time span. You've got a game Saturday and
then a game on the following Wednesday.
Speaker 6 (02:28):
Here was Patrick Mahomes, who still do the media availability.
Speaker 9 (02:31):
Afterwards. I would appeared to be an ankle injury.
Speaker 10 (02:34):
I mean, it's hard to say right now. I mean,
obviously he's still adrenaline rolling in. Usually it's kind of
the day after when you kind of get a good
sense of it. But I feel like I could have
finished the game in different circumstances. But I thought the
smart decision I think we talked about was to put
Carson in, and he's played a lot of football and
he finished the game.
Speaker 4 (02:49):
Well, could have finished the game under different circumstances, I
don't know. The Chiefs were up twenty one to nothing,
a three score lead that they had not experienced thus
far this season. You see that happened to Patrick Mahomes.
Check schedule, rapsheet. What is this outlook appear to be
for the Chiefs and their quarterback.
Speaker 11 (03:06):
First, we'll get to the diagnosis for Patrick Mahomes. My
understanding is the fears that is a high ankle sprain
for the chief star quarterback, which certainly sounds bad and
a lot of times we know that high ankle sprains
can mean four to six weeks. The reason Mahomes says
under different circumstances and might have been able to return
is he literally did it a couple of years back
(03:27):
in the playoffs. High ankle sprain was able to come back,
continue to play, rehabbed around the clock was a huge
deal and Mahomes was able to get on the field
and somehow function. He is built different, and I hope
people say built different, but he actually is built different.
His body is different, could withstand injuries, especially lower body injuries,
as we have seen better than most people just by
(03:49):
the way he is constructed, I guess. So we'll see
what the determination is. A couple of important notes. He
has more tests today to determine the severity of this
high ankle sprain. X rays were negative and sources say
is considered weak to week, which could potentially means that
he missed some time. He has the Saturday game, and
then he has the Christmas game. So a lot of
(04:09):
eyeballs said to be on the Chiefs and Mahomes this
coming couple.
Speaker 4 (04:12):
Weeks, and the eyeball count has a lot to do
with the fact that Mahomes is on that Saturday special,
on a Christmas Day special. So there's a lot of
ripple effects to this beyond just the team rhaps sheet.
Thank you so much. You see the Chiefs they approve
to thirteen and one, and this is how the rest
of the AFC tallly's out all right, the Bills pending
disaster from the Chiefs down the stretch right now, they
(04:34):
still have that number two spot. The Chiefs still have
the buy, which is massively important if your quarterback isn't
feeling quite right. Texans look to get things back on
track yesterday. But the point of the Christmas Day games
on Netflix is that four of the top five teams
are playing each other, and how that affects the leaderboard
remains to be seen.
Speaker 3 (04:54):
Peter back out to you.
Speaker 4 (04:56):
You know this Chiefs team, you know the personnel, the coaches,
the management, ownership, everything. They're thirteen and one. How we
got here though? What do you make of this current
state of the Chiefs.
Speaker 6 (05:05):
We got quite a quandary, don't we.
Speaker 9 (05:07):
This is a pickle if you're the Chiefs, how do
you handle the next few games? So you want the
one seed, it's very important. That means you get an
extra week and they get a buy what none of
the other teams do, and they got to beat up
on each other.
Speaker 6 (05:18):
You want that one seed.
Speaker 9 (05:19):
But I think more important than the one seed is
Patrick Mahomes's health for that playoff run.
Speaker 7 (05:24):
So do you.
Speaker 9 (05:24):
Sacrifice Mahomes for a couple weeks here if you have to,
and then maybe sacrifice giving up that one seed. That's
the question they're having. Mahomes is waking up right now.
It's eight am on the Central time. His ankle could
be a giant balloon, swelled, We don't know, could be swollen,
It could be fine. We'll get details in the next
couple hours. I look at the schedule and they play Saturday,
(05:49):
so short week against the Houston Texans. Can Carson Wentz
go and beat the Houston Texans that home? Can they
get that job done? Then in four days four days
from Saturday to Wednesday, they have to go play the
Steelers in Pittsburgh. If I were to tell you that
Patrick Mahomes could have the next two full weeks off,
(06:11):
let this thing heal, and then finish up in week
eighteen and then go have a bye week, have another week,
and then play in the playoffs. Think you would sign
up for that. But do you sacrifice that if you
give up the one seat to the Bills. Remember they
lost to the Bills. They are only losses to the Bills,
So though they have a two game advantage over the
Bills in the standings, it's really just a one game advantage.
You have to win two of the next three to
(06:33):
secure that buy. Can you do it without Mahomes? That's
the question. And what a gut gut wrenching deal that
would be for Netflix in the NFL if it's Carson
Wentz and the Steelers. I'm just telling you that right now,
the NFL and Netflix are not looking to see Carson
Wentz on there.
Speaker 7 (06:49):
So do you.
Speaker 9 (06:50):
Arrest them this week, maybe lose, and then start them
against Pittsburgh and you get your Christmas game and you
get your Mahomes and you get all that, or do
you play it really safe and potentially have this situation
on Christmas where it's Carson Wentz and not Mahomes. Not
the Chiefs problem, folks, not the Chiefs problem at all.
They're worried about Lombardi.
Speaker 6 (07:07):
It is not about satisfying everyone else.
Speaker 7 (07:09):
Yeah, Peter, I'll answer that for you. I say, yeah,
they should.
Speaker 12 (07:13):
I think we should play Patrick Mahomes in this situation.
I mean, this offense has really been hanging on by
a thread. We can all admit it. This, They've been
hanging on by a thread. Even with the great Patrick Mahomes.
I think you put you go on, you put Carson
Wentz in there. Sure he's going to be serviceable because
of you know, his record and his background. But as
far as making sure that this offense is on beat
(07:34):
and hitting, nah no, no, you can't do that. I
think they need to finish out strong with that. And
then even with the ankle. Even with the ankle, they've
got stuff from that look and I get it, a
high ankle spring sucks. But if anybody can play through
that injury, it is going to be Patrick Mahomes.
Speaker 6 (07:49):
Now.
Speaker 12 (07:50):
The good thing for him is is that he's a
quarterback that can stay in the pocket and not necessarily
have to reaggravate it. Now, look, they're gonna have to
protect him. They have issues on the offensive line, especially
at that left tackle position. They're moving the guards out
to the tackle and they're doing all sorts of little
move around musical chairs. But I think that you have
to play Patrick Mahomes or I don't think that they'll
(08:10):
just start losing down down the road here.
Speaker 7 (08:12):
And I'm not in on that.
Speaker 12 (08:13):
So I say play Patrick Mahomes And I bet you
Andy Reid agrees with that as well.
Speaker 13 (08:17):
Why is this stand Bay disagrees?
Speaker 7 (08:19):
Oh, do not play him through.
Speaker 13 (08:20):
The rest of his dog off season, especially with a
high angle spring. And I don't know how many people
out there have had a high angle spring.
Speaker 3 (08:25):
But it sucks.
Speaker 13 (08:26):
And just because he's came back from it before, you
do not want to go ahead and wear and tear
on that thing.
Speaker 7 (08:32):
You need him for that.
Speaker 6 (08:33):
Three or four game run when it matters.
Speaker 13 (08:35):
Yes, you would love to have home field advantage and
all the stuff, but at the end of the day,
your defense has been carrying you through the season. So
lean on a little lean on me k little Morgan Freeman,
lean on Stevens Magno in this defense and let those
walk you.
Speaker 7 (08:50):
Let those guys cook because you need your QB one.
Speaker 13 (08:53):
The last thing you need is him hobbling through the playoffs,
even though he's showing you his kids he can do
it in the past.
Speaker 5 (08:58):
It's two massive factors hanging in the bounds here. One
just what exactly is the status?
Speaker 6 (09:03):
Like how bad?
Speaker 7 (09:03):
Is it all?
Speaker 5 (09:04):
Right?
Speaker 7 (09:04):
Look really bad?
Speaker 5 (09:05):
It reminded me a lot of the same exact hit
he took against Jacksonville in the playoffs a few years.
Speaker 7 (09:08):
Ago, and he came back on that one.
Speaker 5 (09:10):
But this is why we have the rap sheets and
the palliseras and the garriffoalows. Because even Patrick was saying,
yesterday he goes, my adrenaline's going right now. Usually it's
the next day. I see how it is so real
time this morning, follow how it goes, because it could
be actually he woke up and it feels great, he's
ready to go, or it looks worse. The other factor
is what are we getting from Carson Wentz. This is
a really interesting thing, I think because for years it
(09:31):
was just Chad Henny and we knew it and he
would go in and do his job. We have a
lot of history with Carson Wentz, not so much on
the Chiefs. But a guy who's been in a ton
of big games, and if he really is kind of good,
then absolutely let it go. If I'm going with a
nuclear option of do you, as Peter says, roll them
out there we need these wins, or keep him back,
I am definitely keeping them off the field. I'm not
(09:52):
even talking about for this week. I'm not talking about
a Christmas. I also would give him the final week
of the regular season and just let it be the
reason why last year there and they're in the wildcard game.
Speaker 6 (10:01):
They didn't have.
Speaker 5 (10:02):
The one last year they go on and they also
went at Buffalo last year, and while they always be
Buffalo in the playoffs, I would much rather take my
shot winning through the wildcard and in buffloying an extra
with Mahomes. Yes, with we got nothing, We don't Mahomes right,
They're not going to win the AFC. If Patrick Mahomes
is limping around, you got to get them right. So
if the prognosis is bad, then yes, absolutely, I would
(10:22):
keep them off the field as long as possible.
Speaker 7 (10:24):
They're a thirteen to one team.
Speaker 5 (10:26):
We got the two, we got to play an extra game,
so we'll blow the doors off whoever that wildcard team is,
and then go to Buffalo and do it we always do,
which is win. The idea of Mahomes, it's seventy percent.
Not this year, guys, Not with this offense. Not with
this offense that never scores much and the AFC is
really good past years. Maybe I don't think this Chiefs
team can do anything else other than one hundred percent.
Speaker 7 (10:44):
Mahomes.
Speaker 4 (10:45):
It's crazy that what hangs in the balance is if
they stand where they are right now with the number
one overall seed, they get the extra week because they
would have the buy.
Speaker 3 (10:53):
So it's like this very odd trigreation of Peter real.
Speaker 4 (10:56):
Quick, is they need two wins to steal the one
overall seed.
Speaker 9 (10:59):
Yeah, if the Bills are to win out and the
Chiefs only win one more game because they had the
tie breaker, the Bills would be.
Speaker 7 (11:06):
The one seed.
Speaker 9 (11:07):
But if they win two games, they finished with one
win more than the Bills and they would still get
the one seed and the buy, even if you know
Mahomes or Wentz.
Speaker 6 (11:15):
Whoever's out there.
Speaker 9 (11:16):
So they have to win two of the next three
to secure that number one seed.
Speaker 4 (11:19):
My mind isn't a pretzel, and I cannot imagine what
Andy Reid must feel like, or Frankly Mahomes because you
know he's going to advocate for his team but also
his health over the next six.
Speaker 6 (11:28):
It's a Carson Wentz Christmas.
Speaker 7 (11:31):
No, I'm not going there. I'm sorry, I'm sorry.
Speaker 3 (11:33):
I want for Christmas? Is a doubleheader on Netflix.
Speaker 4 (11:37):
Nod they watch her two oh No, just brilliant doubleheader, Kyle,
there's a next sale nine days away.
Speaker 3 (11:45):
Here we go one pm.
Speaker 4 (11:46):
Eastern Chiefs and Pittsburgh taking on the Steelers, Andy Reid,
My Tomlin special for thirty FM Eastern Ta Meeko Ryans
and the Harbor showing up in Houston. Christmas Day doubleheader
on Netflix. Truly looking forward to it. Look those beautiful
snow globes. That would be kind of a cool gift
if you had two teams they want had to head
all the time, all right, The Chargers justin Herbert La
(12:07):
Baker and the Bucks they came into so far.
Speaker 3 (12:10):
Wow, Baker in the books look awesome.
Speaker 4 (12:12):
Can't figure out what the Chargers are doing in the
back half of the season, and what does this all
mean for the Greater Harball rookie season in La.
Speaker 5 (12:20):
Plus we got big players making massive plays.
Speaker 2 (12:23):
In Week fifteen, Ceedee Lamb had a great game. Did
you watch?
Speaker 14 (12:27):
You should have.
Speaker 6 (12:28):
You should watch every game like we do. We're gonna
head out game balls. Next the Jets were lighted up.
Speaker 7 (12:32):
We had it was weird.
Speaker 9 (12:33):
Burrow always like I said something up back in on Rogers.
Speaker 7 (12:36):
You're back.
Speaker 2 (12:36):
Bring them back to Peter.
Speaker 9 (12:39):
They look great.
Speaker 14 (12:39):
Let's go Good morning football.
Speaker 9 (12:51):
Lamar Jackson put on a show as we're doing flips
about Josh Allen being the MVP. We got about one
hundred tweets from Ravens fans saying, guys, did any of
you see what Lamar is doing?
Speaker 6 (12:59):
Numbers wise? He right up there. That's to Mark Andrews,
who becomes the.
Speaker 9 (13:03):
All time I'm leader in Ravens scoring touchdowns as a receiver.
Mark Andrews incredible, incredible career with Baltimore. But Lamar have
five touchdown passes getting him from all different receivers. Five
touchdown passes. Lamar Jackson fantasy owners say, thank you.
Speaker 5 (13:20):
Coach showed up and played some ball and made two
very high profile mistakes in Denver. They were in this game,
they were leading this game, and you've probably seen the
play already from Jonathan Taylor, this great running back who
we have a lot of respect for. I love Jonathan Taylor.
You already know what happens here. He dropped the ball
at the goal line.
Speaker 7 (13:36):
He said after the game.
Speaker 5 (13:38):
It just can't happen, no matter the game, no matter
the scenario. You could be up fifty down by fifty
playoff game, first.
Speaker 3 (13:43):
Game of the season.
Speaker 6 (13:44):
That should never happen.
Speaker 5 (13:45):
I think he felt absolutely terrible, embarrassed, mortified all of it.
It's a guy who scored a lot of touchdowns in
his life and never done that before, and he just
feels terrible.
Speaker 2 (13:53):
Now the coach do this.
Speaker 7 (13:55):
It's a double pass.
Speaker 2 (13:56):
Watch what happens, Bam.
Speaker 5 (13:57):
It is picked off by Nick Benito but Ada, and
I Mitchell is the guy who threw it. He said
after the game. I executed fifteen turned into Ed Reid
in the middle of the play.
Speaker 2 (14:07):
It's a funny session.
Speaker 5 (14:08):
At his locker, he goes, I don't know, I did
my job.
Speaker 3 (14:10):
Fifteen became Ed Reid and he's.
Speaker 5 (14:12):
Right, that's literally a quote thirty one to thirteen. They
get taken away, Peter.
Speaker 9 (14:16):
Yeah, and here we were doing the top of the
AMC earlier in the show.
Speaker 12 (14:19):
Let's look at that second row.
Speaker 9 (14:21):
Looks like the playoff picture is almost set with these
teams and the barn some disasters, but wins from the Ravens,
wins from the Broncos, went from the Texans, but a
loss from the Steelers, lost from the Chargers.
Speaker 6 (14:33):
And of course l's for those heater.
Speaker 5 (14:35):
You always did these breakdowns and the chances and calculations.
I want to see one for that ten right there.
I want to see one for Cincinnatis. That's probably extensive.
Speaker 9 (14:42):
That sounds like a Schreker's Beautiful Mind segment for tomorrow, folks.
Speaker 6 (14:45):
How do the Bengals get in? We'll get into that.
Speaker 3 (14:48):
I love Schrager's Beautiful Mind.
Speaker 4 (14:50):
I can't believe we haven't stepped into it yet. It
is that time of year on GMFB. To Peter's point,
let's look at the right side of the screen in
the AFC Wildcard. Right now, two of those teams play
a short week. It's Broncos Chargers Thursday Night Football. It's
coming up in just a few short days.
Speaker 3 (15:03):
Peter.
Speaker 4 (15:04):
When you look at Lurking and the wildcard spots, where.
Speaker 3 (15:07):
Do your eyes go?
Speaker 9 (15:08):
I think that we have what looks to be the
wildcard teams right here, and at the very least, you know,
we say the four, which is not a wildcard, their
division winner, but they're gonna be. We probably get rid
of them, so she'll be five six seven, right. What's
up with the Chargers? What's up with the Chargers?
Speaker 6 (15:22):
I have a real hard time wrapping my arms around
the Chargers. We've done this. Jim Harbaugh is the this
was a terrible loss yesterday.
Speaker 2 (15:29):
Really Now they got bailed.
Speaker 9 (15:31):
Out because the Broncos beat the Colts and they don't
have to worry about the Colts coming and they're gonna
play the Broncos again this weekend. We'll do the same
flips about Harbaugh and look out great Justin Herbert is
can this team win a good game?
Speaker 2 (15:43):
Are they even capable of it?
Speaker 6 (15:45):
Take a look at their wins and their losses, and
I feel bad doing a Chargers takedown here, all right?
Speaker 9 (15:52):
So they beating the Raiders, the Panthers, a Patser Tanless, Denver,
the Saints, the Browns, the Titans.
Speaker 6 (16:01):
They're not a good team in that bunch. So you're
telling me that this Harball new look.
Speaker 9 (16:05):
And you think they play a good team, They lose.
Speaker 6 (16:08):
That's just been the case.
Speaker 2 (16:10):
I don't know.
Speaker 9 (16:10):
Everyone's doing flips about Herbert and Harbaugh and how great
things are and how they've changed this season and if
the new Chargers we're going into week sixteen.
Speaker 5 (16:19):
I like Peter, it's like Jim Harbaugh beats Minnesota in
Northwestern and Illinois but then loses to.
Speaker 2 (16:25):
Florida sorta or sorta.
Speaker 9 (16:27):
I would also look at it like it every way
like the Harball things great and we do like Brendan
Staley could have been in those teams, and Wade Phillips
could have been in those teams and whoever else could.
Speaker 6 (16:36):
I would love for once the Chargers.
Speaker 9 (16:38):
To win up a game. Would just love it once.
It didn't happen this weekend.
Speaker 7 (16:42):
Again, No it didn't. It was my son went to
that game.
Speaker 12 (16:45):
It was a little disappointing to watch, especially since I
was hYP hyping that up for a little men. He
came back to, like, Dad, what were you talking about?
But you know, the Ravens, they're another one that I'm
very very excited about and the way they played, and
I think you're right. Whoever those raven fans that were
tweeting at you guys, you're right, because Lamar Jackson, I
don't know what the against the New York Giants, but
(17:05):
still it's an NFL team. Five touchdowns in this game,
and he is going to make some real noise. And
I look at I look at this, you know situation.
Speaker 7 (17:14):
We see that the.
Speaker 12 (17:14):
Teams, the four teams that are are essentially in this
from winning their divisions. You look at obviously the AFC East,
you look at the AFC, looking at the AFC North.
This matchup next week where you have the Ravens against
the Steelers, that's gonna.
Speaker 2 (17:28):
Tell us a lot.
Speaker 7 (17:29):
I truly believe.
Speaker 12 (17:30):
That the Ravens are the stronger team. They're going to
go out and I think they're gonna really really push on.
There's the one team that between the Buffalo Bills and
you know, obviously the Kansas City Chiefs, these two teams
are ones that you really have to be concerned about.
I think it's going to be a nice little jam
right there between the Ravens, the Bills and the Kansas
City Chiefs.
Speaker 13 (17:48):
You guys are going to a fancy restaurant and order
something and then when it comes to your table, you
kind of look at it sideways like what is that
you I ordered it.
Speaker 2 (17:57):
Thought, not what I thought.
Speaker 13 (17:59):
That's exactly what the Denver Broncos are right now. You
just don't know what they are. You know, you felt
like you knew what it was when you order it,
but then the last few games you're like, what is that?
Speaker 7 (18:07):
Right?
Speaker 13 (18:07):
And you look at it and talking about this is
a Sean Payton led team, and you feel confident in
the abilities of him as a head coach, and you
felt good about bow Knicks because he was lighting it up.
Weeks two through twelve, this dude only had two interceptions,
but over the last two weeks he's had five interceptions,
and you wonder why he's turned into a gunslinger. All
of a sudden, he started looking about it. If these
guys are going to sneak into the playoffs, can they
(18:28):
beat teams playing like this?
Speaker 7 (18:30):
And the answer is no.
Speaker 13 (18:31):
These guys are in the four game winning streak, but
they have won against teams like the Falcons, the Raiders,
the Browns and the Colts.
Speaker 7 (18:37):
These are teams that you can beat in your sleep.
Speaker 13 (18:39):
But the teams that they have to play next or
are they going to be the Chargers, the Bengals and
the Chiefs so they have to clean this thing up
before trying to even think about trying to get in
this playoff run, because even if they do, they can't
do it throwing pigs.
Speaker 5 (18:49):
One of the hottest memes right now that I keep
seeing is that man stands up in a small town
meeting and says something brave. Peter said it to me recently.
I won't say what it was about, but Peter sent
it to me recently with the take. But I saw
one of these yesterday. It was the guy standing up
and it was Joe Burrow is the best player in
the league, and like, that's our bold tank and listen,
(19:09):
we're in a Josh Allen world and that's fine. But
I don't really remember a season quite exactly like this
where the player is so good and certainly the receiver
is so good, and yet the record is still coming
off a win, coming off two wins in a row,
it's still so bad. So we started it to begin
the segment. Let's just talk about it now. Bengals, they
(19:30):
have the chance.
Speaker 2 (19:31):
They're alive.
Speaker 5 (19:32):
I think we did the Gone Fishing mock up like
a few weeks ago.
Speaker 7 (19:35):
I'm like, they're done, they're done.
Speaker 5 (19:37):
They're a sub five hundred team and yet bring up
the AFC playoffs standings like get yeah, look at them.
Speaker 2 (19:42):
Did the boat turn around?
Speaker 7 (19:43):
All right?
Speaker 5 (19:44):
The Dolphins had a terrible loss yesterday. It's really really bad.
So did Indianapolis. And then in order to avoid going fishing,
you have to have a team that comes back down
to earth. Now, Peter just basically lambasted the Chargers to
say that they're fake tough guys will never beat anybody.
We don't have the exact scenario yet, but all we
have right this time of year is you want to
(20:04):
see the Bengals remaining schedule, just give it.
Speaker 3 (20:06):
To I don't love it.
Speaker 5 (20:07):
It's versus Cleveland at home, Fine, you win, versus Denver
at home.
Speaker 6 (20:12):
Tom, you win?
Speaker 5 (20:13):
And then who do they finish with at Pittsburgh who
might be resting, and there's divisional games you never know,
like they just can go anyway. So that would be
the miracle upon miracle. I don't have the percentage in
front of me. I'm sure that when they were four
and eight it was point zero zero three percent repeating.
But the Bengals somehow won, and if they don't, Joe Burrow,
I think it's like I think he's the runner up
for MVP behind Alan. It's just that weird and that bizarre,
(20:35):
but it's really fun and now I'm kind of rooting
for it.
Speaker 6 (20:38):
Yeah.
Speaker 4 (20:38):
I was wondering if Cincinnati came down hard on you,
Kyle after that graphic with the gone fish in a
couple of weeks back, or is that boat just lingering
out in the sound like waiting for the fall court
side here it is apparently we have it graphically, We
just have it at the ready. This is dated, you guys.
We should have put a date on this. You did this, Kyle,
speak to it.
Speaker 2 (20:55):
Yeah, Peter Jamie, it was.
Speaker 5 (20:56):
It was week thirteen, after they come off the by
they lose to Pittsburgh. They give up forty four points,
they go to four and eight, and I'm like, we.
Speaker 2 (21:04):
Got these guys go.
Speaker 5 (21:05):
At the time, they had the passing leader, the receiving leader,
the sack leader, and they could never win a game.
They beat the Cowboys, they beat the Titans.
Speaker 9 (21:13):
We'll see, what would you think if we're watching Hard
Knocks this week and they show this very segment as
a motivational tool to the Bengals And he looks at
Joe Burrow and t Higgins it a great day, and
Jamar Chase it says they already have us fishing.
Speaker 7 (21:27):
I could do this boys live board material.
Speaker 3 (21:29):
The way that.
Speaker 4 (21:29):
Burrow was talking to Zach Taylor yesterday is like two
guys in a boat somebody cut the line too early
and be like.
Speaker 3 (21:34):
But I'm you were supposed to pull that the tether and.
Speaker 4 (21:37):
What It's just like, I can't do fishing talk. But
that's how passionate it was.
Speaker 2 (21:40):
Okay, all right, Cowboys. Carolinup's fun game to watch.
Speaker 5 (21:45):
The Panthers had some cool highlights in this game, but
Rerice Young did not play very well and they got
throttled thirty to fourteen. If you care, I'm sure you do.
Speaker 7 (21:53):
It's football. Cowboys six and eight.
Speaker 9 (21:56):
Let's go to New England versus Arizona. A lot of
controversy in Boston this morning based on Gerrod Mayo's comments
on Alex van Pelt the offensive.
Speaker 6 (22:03):
Corner after the game.
Speaker 9 (22:04):
But during the game, Cardinals season teetering here, but yet
they would find a way to win. Drake may souting
out standing rookie season, doing all he can, but you
can't do much about that interception, and then the Cardinals takeover.
This was another forgettable one and there were curious decisions
on the Patriots offense, a lot of weird third and
(22:25):
one choices, fourth and one decisions.
Speaker 7 (22:27):
Interesting.
Speaker 6 (22:28):
We'll be watching that one as it goes the final few. Yeah,
I think New England.
Speaker 9 (22:31):
There's gonna be a busy week of sports media buzz
up in Boston based on some of the play calls
and the coaches like Travis Hunter.
Speaker 3 (22:39):
Yeah, all right, let's go game balls.
Speaker 4 (22:42):
You guys got a ball in New York because get ready,
Awk War is gonna go first and we're gonna go
game balls from over the weekend?
Speaker 1 (22:48):
Off bar?
Speaker 3 (22:48):
Who you got?
Speaker 12 (22:48):
All right, game ball? I'm gonna give this to A. J.
Brown and Jalen hurts you. There's a lot of hoop
log going on about their ability to you know, if
they were getting together and they're mad at each other,
but look at this, these two they were praying together.
Like I told you guys last week, they were playing together,
and a quarterback and wide receiver that play together stayed
together and they played together, and that's exactly what they did.
(23:09):
Hit the kid in play right there, celebrating they were.
Speaker 2 (23:12):
To the house.
Speaker 5 (23:13):
A J.
Speaker 12 (23:13):
Brown to the house one hundred plus yards in a touchdown.
Also Devonte Smith too, he also got one hundred plus
in a touchdown. They did the kid in play. Come
on now, it was a house party and I had
to wear this shit shirt. Yeah there right there, the
house party kid.
Speaker 3 (23:28):
Yeah, he just had it under his holiday sweater. He
had it ready.
Speaker 2 (23:32):
It's perfect, perfect books.
Speaker 6 (23:33):
Peter, Peter, that's great.
Speaker 9 (23:34):
I don't have a T shirt for this guy, but
I do have a gold jacket or he's ready to
wear it. Mike Evans is going to cat and he
had my game ball for yes. Today Mike Evans was
unbelievable one hundred and fifty nine yards, nine catches, two
touchdowns as the Buccaneers absolutely blow out the Chargers. Evans
absolute baller. Look at what he's done here. Most seasons
(23:58):
are one thousand receiving yards fourteen.
Speaker 6 (24:01):
For Jerry Rice. Evans is second tyrabout and guess what
he just.
Speaker 9 (24:05):
Needs two hundred and fifty one receiving yards in the
last three games, averaging eighty four yards per game to
get it for the eleventh time, and that would be
every season of his NFL career.
Speaker 6 (24:17):
Mike Evans, you balled out or they needed your most.
Speaker 2 (24:20):
You always do.
Speaker 6 (24:21):
This has been with Jamis, this.
Speaker 9 (24:23):
Has been with McCown, this has been.
Speaker 2 (24:25):
With Brady, and now it's with Baker.
Speaker 6 (24:29):
We see you, Mike Evans.
Speaker 9 (24:30):
I have the utmost respect, especially coming off the injury
the way he has.
Speaker 7 (24:33):
I see what you did.
Speaker 13 (24:34):
I'm gonna go with the guy that they're gonna say,
I'm gonna call you almost almost perfect. I'm going with
Lamar Jackson. This dude was twenty one of twenty five
for two hundred.
Speaker 7 (24:43):
And nine yards in five tunnies.
Speaker 13 (24:45):
You guys, see what I said, five tunnies and then
he had six.
Speaker 7 (24:48):
Rushes for sixty five yards.
Speaker 13 (24:49):
This dude is only fifth in passing in the league.
You guys can continue to talk about the Buffalo Biles,
you continue to talk about Josh Allen. All this dude
is gonna continue to do is work on his craft.
This is the aspect of his game that everybody has
always questioned, and yet he almost went perfect.
Speaker 6 (25:03):
Keep sleeping on him.
Speaker 7 (25:04):
He's going to remind you exactly who he is when
a playoffs gone.
Speaker 3 (25:06):
Tony got to though he can share the wealth.
Speaker 4 (25:08):
Look bit right, there's a really fun argument to be
had if you want to argue for the best college
football team of all time. I have recency bias. I
covered the twenty nineteen LSU Tigers, so I think they're
pretty solid. A little story back that season. Halfway through
or doing a game with the CBS screw, we're in
Baton Rouge and Ed o'jeron, who's a wonderful man and
a wonderful coach. We leave a production meeting and I
(25:29):
asked my colleagues, did ed Ojon just say that there
is a rookie on defense that if he chose to
play wide receiver he would be garnering looks with Jamar
Chase and Justin Jefferson And we all thought, yeah, he
really said that. Ed Ojeron in twenty nineteen said if
Derek Stingly wanted to play wide receiver, he would be
right up there with some of the best that ever
played college and NFL. That's because Derek Stingley has sick hands.
(25:53):
Derek Singley Junior has my game ball from over the weekend,
the cornerback for.
Speaker 3 (25:57):
The Houston Texas.
Speaker 4 (25:58):
The Texans defense really won the game for Houston yesterday,
twenty to twelve win over Miami. But Demiko Ryan's now
a few years later, says he is one of a kind.
His ball skills and how he can play the ball
in the air is the best I have ever seen
in my life. That is from Demiico Ryans. That is
a kid who could play any position he wants to
on the field, and he chooses to be a quarterback
(26:20):
in the NFL.
Speaker 3 (26:21):
Derek Sigley Junior, you have my game ball, Go Tigers.
Speaker 6 (26:23):
That's a great, great choice.
Speaker 8 (26:25):
I love it, and I love ed oh yes, and
I love going back to late September when we were
promised all kinds of magic, fireworks and majesty from Davante Adams.
Speaker 5 (26:35):
It took a while, but we got it. Did you
watch the second half of that game. I've never seen
a better football player in my life, which is the
most amazing thing. Rogers was cooking, of course, but Davante,
who had no catches on two targets in the first half,
damn near dropped two hundred yards and two quarters hundredth
career touchdown, also the longest play of his career he had,
and it was almost like this months of frustration and I.
Speaker 2 (26:59):
Let that catch come on.
Speaker 7 (27:01):
What's awesome?
Speaker 6 (27:02):
You all that I couldn't believe it.
Speaker 5 (27:04):
I was watching a Jets Jaguars game in December of
twenty twenty four and completely riveted, and he was just
like he was the best player on the field. And
Rogers is jumping up and down and cavorting on the field,
and I know it's bitter as hell because it's looking
here patting him down like that.
Speaker 2 (27:20):
Sean jeffersones, what's he looking for?
Speaker 6 (27:22):
I love that one hundred career touchdowns.
Speaker 5 (27:24):
It's there's there's a subtext tier of angst and frustration.
Speaker 7 (27:28):
But at least for that second half.
Speaker 5 (27:30):
Of that one game in Jacksonville, he absolutely destroyed it.
I don't know if he's gonna be a Jet next year.
I don't know if Rod's gonna be Jet next year.
Maybe they both may bring him back, bringing.
Speaker 6 (27:37):
Peter says, I'd say, I bring them both back.
Speaker 5 (27:39):
You have taken our local Jersey skeptic and turned his
frown upside.
Speaker 9 (27:44):
I would say this, and I hate to take the
segment by storm here. If I'm the Jets, I wait
till I hire my coach in my GM, And if
they want them back, I would say, offer them a
discounted rate. If they say yes, why not and draft
a rookie quarterback and away we go.
Speaker 6 (27:56):
It's amazing.
Speaker 5 (27:57):
It's you know the part in the Grinch where the
heart grows and breaks the bracket. That's Peter right now
as a Jersey guy. His heart is breaking the bracket.
About the Jets. Save that clip, I Peter said, you
know what, bring him in back them at this guy.
Speaker 7 (28:09):
I love it.
Speaker 9 (28:10):
Rogers has a documentary out on that foot.
Speaker 3 (28:12):
Run it back.
Speaker 4 (28:13):
His heart was three sizes too small until DeVante Adams
showed up. Well done, game balls all around GMFB. We
love it On a Monday one of our favorite segments.
Congrats to all those guys wrapping up our day after.
Speaker 2 (28:24):
This Good Morning Football.
Speaker 9 (28:36):
Every Monday morning we hand out the Coach of the
Week award. Could be a head coach, could be an assistant,
could be a coordinator. This week we go to Los Angeles,
where the guy who really made his NFL resume, bolstered
in Los Angeles for years under Sean McVay, came back
home and absolutely lit up the LA Chargers. Our coach
of the week is Buccaneers offensive coordinator.
Speaker 6 (28:56):
Liam o'wellia the Bucks offense. Yesterday, I scored.
Speaker 9 (29:00):
Forty points, did not punt once and racked up five
hundred and six yards of offense. On Jesse Minter's vaunted
Chargers d Bucky.
Speaker 6 (29:10):
Irving had one hundred and seventeen yards.
Speaker 9 (29:12):
The Bucks ran for two hundred and twenty three yards,
and they went nine to fifteen on third down. Baker
Mayfield only had five incomplete passes and the team again
did not punt. Liam Cohen remember Dave Kanalits was the OC.
Last year he gets a head coaching job with Carolina.
They hired Liam Cohen as the OC and Liam Cohen's
(29:33):
team look at these numbers yesterday against a good Chargers
defense in La.
Speaker 6 (29:40):
Want to say at the bottom of Peter.
Speaker 9 (29:41):
Zero punts, Liam Cohen, get to know his name well.
It is going to start popping up in a lot
of head coaching conversations over the next several weeks. I
can tell you now makes a lot of sense with
the Jets, makes a lot of sense with the Saints,
makes a lot of sense with the Bears, and it
will make a lot of sense with any team looking
to get an offensive bump and some good quarterback coaching
(30:03):
for their quarterback. Liam Cohen, of course, with Stafford, was
that at Kentucky, went back to LA and then of
course is now in Tampa. Liam Cohen, yes, the offensive
coordinator of the tam Bay Buccaneers, is our coach of
the week.
Speaker 6 (30:15):
And Cherry Burris, you've got some news of the week
I do.
Speaker 3 (30:18):
I want to give you a shout out, Peter.
Speaker 15 (30:19):
I saw on the Fox pregame show you call the
Buccaneers beating the Chargers, so I signed on that and
you're welcome.
Speaker 2 (30:25):
How about the Ravens.
Speaker 15 (30:26):
Eyes on them now following their bye week four straight
times they won their game coming off the by and
that thing's in part to five touchdowns by Lamar Jackson.
One of those touchdown passes going to tight end Mark Andrews,
who now holds a franchise record in touchdowns, surpassing running
back Jamal Lewis.
Speaker 3 (30:44):
Andrews now with forty eight career touchdowns.
Speaker 15 (30:46):
Poke with our Mike herefollow about the record setting performance.
Speaker 4 (30:51):
All right, Mark, you walked onto this field tied for
first in franchise history with touchdowns.
Speaker 2 (30:56):
You got the record.
Speaker 1 (30:57):
Congratulations.
Speaker 3 (30:58):
The feelings when you knew you had.
Speaker 16 (30:59):
Mike, Yeah, it's good to talk with you, but you know,
mainly just happy you've got to win happy the way
the guys bought played and you'll put together a good game.
But extremely fortunate to be a part of this organization,
this team and everybody that I've played with throughout the years,
and there's so many good players and great players that
have come before me to lead the way.
Speaker 4 (31:15):
You got a short week now and then a shorter
week at woodyard line.
Speaker 2 (31:18):
Walking off the field, here, will you put this one
behind you?
Speaker 16 (31:20):
Start looking forward immediately you know we're gonna we're gonna
take the train back, get to Baltimore and start working
on the Steelers.
Speaker 7 (31:26):
That's a big game for us.
Speaker 3 (31:27):
And that Steelers game me talking about.
Speaker 15 (31:28):
They're playing on Saturday before their Christmas Day showdown with
the Texans, so that will be three games in just
eleven days for Baltimore head Scratchers.
Speaker 4 (31:39):
This is an adorable dog. And we always love when
they look at you so confused. What we don't really
love when plays make us feel confused about life. Peter,
what did you see yesterday that had your scratch in
your head?
Speaker 6 (31:48):
I love this one.
Speaker 9 (31:49):
Actually it was Trent McDuffie's interception in the game, and
on the surface, it's like, all right, there's Trent making
another big plays one of the best defensive backs in football.
Speaker 6 (31:56):
But after the game, McDuffie said.
Speaker 9 (31:58):
He saw that he had to go to this place
because he was watching it on the jumbo tron to
see where.
Speaker 6 (32:03):
He had to be.
Speaker 9 (32:04):
He made the playoffter looking up top, and he looked
and saw.
Speaker 2 (32:07):
Where he had to go.
Speaker 9 (32:09):
An unbelievable interception, and of course this was the game
seiler in a lot of ways. Trent McDuffie, it is
an honor to watch this guy play football. Former first
round pick and Washington Hutsky I said he had.
Speaker 3 (32:22):
Is ready, he had him ready. I go to the Cardinals.
There was a goal line.
Speaker 4 (32:26):
Situation, the ball was approaching it, somebody was carrying it,
the ball gets dropped big man hustle. Though Jonah Williams
comes up with this fumble recovery. However, watching the game
on red Zone, Scott Hanson just came up with like
a whole new touchdown category. I need like the real
official ruling on this. Statistically, Scott Hanson here what he had.
Speaker 2 (32:44):
To say, looks suck at that in three they handed
off to Doors.
Speaker 10 (32:47):
Doors to his left trying to get to the edge,
and he's inside the five down to the wyevel the.
Speaker 3 (32:52):
Ball Jonah Williams fell on top of it.
Speaker 5 (32:56):
Here comes seventy three and he jumps on the ball.
Speaker 9 (32:59):
Does he have it?
Speaker 2 (32:59):
Before he touches out a bounce?
Speaker 12 (33:01):
It was recovered in the end zone by an offensive player.
Speaker 7 (33:04):
Touchdown.
Speaker 5 (33:05):
Jonah Williams gets on it right before he rolls on
the mountain?
Speaker 2 (33:09):
Who had it?
Speaker 10 (33:10):
On the bingo car that Jonah Williams put up the
game's first touchdown.
Speaker 2 (33:14):
Somebody must have It's.
Speaker 1 (33:15):
Not called a rushing touchdown or even a recovery touchdown.
Speaker 7 (33:18):
It's called an other touchdown. Jonah Williams with the score
for Arizona.
Speaker 4 (33:23):
Other is that a thing that's an peter? Isn't an
other touchdown? Isn't it a fumble? I was so confused
it legitimately had me scratching my head, crazy misus miscellaneous
such shatter.
Speaker 7 (33:37):
It was an otd.
Speaker 3 (33:38):
OTD not yet other.
Speaker 12 (33:41):
Well, you know, there was a touchdown in a game,
in a very very big game with the Colts and
the Broncos, and unfortunately it wasn't as such. Jonathan Taylor
had me going, wait, what this is a veteran running
back who knows that this is a great opportunity to
get two scores ahead on the Denver Broncos, and right
at the gold line he just drops the ball. This
(34:03):
one was a handscratcher for me. I couldn't believe it.
I know he was very, very sick to his stomach
about this one, and he admitted as much, but still
could do that, and that changed the complex of the
complexity of the game.
Speaker 7 (34:13):
They were never able to get back after that.
Speaker 5 (34:16):
I never thought I would say this, but I related
to Lamar Jackson yesterday. He's running around the field trying
to do his job and his pants are falling down.
Speaker 2 (34:23):
Ever have this maybe and the pants are too big?
Speaker 5 (34:27):
Sadly, watch what happens on Peter someday. He's running and
he's pulling up his pants as he scrambles, and it's like,
what happened, Lamar? You are that cool that you can
just run around against the giants and pull up your pants?
Speaker 6 (34:40):
Now?
Speaker 5 (34:40):
Are we over exaggerating? Is this just some random thing
that happened in this hand?
Speaker 3 (34:43):
Oh?
Speaker 16 (34:44):
No?
Speaker 5 (34:44):
Listen to him after the game describe it in great detail,
and I totally have been there.
Speaker 6 (34:49):
Scramble.
Speaker 13 (34:49):
I think in the first half of it looked like
you maybe having to hold up your.
Speaker 8 (34:52):
Pants, all right, So look.
Speaker 17 (34:56):
He was asking me that, So I'm like, I felt
like Winn was touching my butt, you know. Soon I
was trying to keep my tights up for real, like
the tights just like gotta let loose it, Ohn News.
So I'm like, just kind of keep my pats up,
that's all.
Speaker 7 (35:10):
It was too cold like wind.
Speaker 5 (35:16):
If you ever feel some wind in places that you
don't usually feel when something's wrong like somethings and you
have to remedy it quickly, Peter, there's sometimes even on
the show, and we've gotten not to do some demos,
we've had some wardrobe malfunction and we're not supposed to
use that phrase, but Lamar had win yesterday and I've
totally been there.
Speaker 13 (35:30):
Man, if you would have looked over his shoulder and
try to show and lost it.
Speaker 7 (35:35):
Yeah, yeah, listen up.
Speaker 13 (35:37):
We've been talking a lot about you know, the anger
runs a lot of times. Right, it's not Tuesday, but
a lot of these specialists are starting to get a
little bit too bold for me. Okay, a lot of
these guys are trying to get and.
Speaker 7 (35:45):
They want to smoke.
Speaker 13 (35:46):
You see here, against the Carolina Panthers versus the Dallas Cowboys.
They kick it off to turf and why do you
give it to Turpin?
Speaker 7 (35:51):
I don't know.
Speaker 13 (35:52):
But at the end of this play, you're gonna see
a little scuffle, and you know who starts to scuffle
This guy right here that is the kicker for the
Carolina Panthers.
Speaker 2 (35:58):
Yeah, yeah, I want that.
Speaker 7 (36:01):
Wait, wait a minute, I.
Speaker 6 (36:02):
Just got two reel.
Speaker 13 (36:08):
What is going on with these specialists that they think
they are about that life? There is a difference between
specialists and the rest of the football players on the team.
Speaker 7 (36:15):
Don't get too bold and pull your chest down and
end up on the ground covering up your head. Johnny,
heck so good.
Speaker 4 (36:21):
That went from like pushing and shoving to like hands
up by the ears and quickly into.
Speaker 7 (36:25):
The fetal position.
Speaker 4 (36:27):
I want to don't want no, guys, my first Christmas
YF I opened already Holiday Get the Warrior white jersey
happening tonight on Monday night football Vikings Bears.
