The Most Important Game Of The Year Is Tonight

Why the most important game of the Dallas Cowboys season is tonight, even though they aren't even playing in it, plus some other thoughts about the happenings in the NFL over the weekend. 

Episode Transcript

Speaker 1 (00:00):
All Cowboy surprise. Yeah. So the Cowboys had the Thursday
night game, so nothing yesterday in a busy NFL day, though,

(00:23):
and they will be back Sunday night against Minnesota. Minnesota
did get their quarterback back JJ McCarthy and they beat
Washington thirty one to nothing. So one minimum game won't
be a won't be a cake walk, but it's a
home game Sunday night should be easy. Cowboys stand here
at six six and one currently at a seven percent
chance to make the playoffs. But if we run the table,

(00:47):
I can get you to like a forty three percent
chance to make the playoffs. Like it now. What I
can also do is really lock in on tonight's game. Tonight,
it's the Chargers and the Eagles on Money Day Night Football.
Really need the Chargers to beat the Eagles. Fly Chargers.
Fly Chargers win tonight and the Cowboys were in their

(01:08):
when there remaining four games, they would have a fifty
three percent chance to make the playoffs. We really need
the Eagles to lose to the Bills and so would
be out of it either. If the Eagles one tonight,
you'd still we had like a thirty three percent chance.

Speaker 2 (01:18):
But it's not good. You're gonna need help, and that
starts to play the Commanders twice. The Commanders just lost
to Minnesota by thirty one. Nothing according to KT.

Speaker 1 (01:27):
Yeah, it was bad, but they Jade and Daniels got hurt,
but they were kind of playing better with Marcus Mariota.
It's it's strange.

Speaker 2 (01:34):
It's strange because they okay, wait, so Jaden and Daniels
was back yesterday. Yes, oh, because I watched a good
chunk of that Denver game. Mariota played well then oh
yeah he didn't mean that. Yeah, they got screwed in
that game. Put Daniels back out there for yeah, whatever reason.

Speaker 1 (01:49):
That was the other thing that's kind of interesting about
all this is that, dude, did you see what happened
the Chiefs last night? Yes? Oh, man, the Chiefs. You're done.

Speaker 2 (02:00):
They're done. And it was Travis Kelcey that ended their season.

Speaker 1 (02:04):
Yeah, and Rashie Rice, known for going one seventy on
Highway seventy five here in town. Yeah, like huge drop
on fourth down. Then Travis's job. Travis looks so slow,
he does, he's done, and I think he wanted to
probably win a super Bowl and call it quits now
he's gonna have to have an offseason get in shape.
Oh he's not coming back. I think he is. No way,

(02:27):
He's in the last year of his deal. Why would
in Kansas City just move. You'd think he'd just go
hang out because of his situation, right, followed Taylor on
tourri the legacies mean anything? Do you have any dignity
at all? Yeah? Man, Yeah, go win another one on
your way out. It's the way to do it. Do
you know? Through all this to the Chiefs. This is
where it's a little bit inexcusable for the Chiefs to

(02:49):
not make the playoffs with Patrick Mahomes. The Patriots from
twenty three to twenty nineteen with Tom Brady only missed
the playoffs one time. Hold On, that was the year
that he shredded his knee and they went eleven and five.

Speaker 2 (03:03):
Okay, you know, okay, hold On though, and I don't know,
I'm just you said two thousand and three to two thousand.

Speaker 1 (03:11):
And nineteen whatever. He Okay, So it's sleep for the
Patriots sixteen years during that time period.

Speaker 2 (03:18):
I want someone, probably Bobby Belt to give me the
record of the rest of their division over those sixteen years.

Speaker 1 (03:26):
You will be shot. I get it.

Speaker 2 (03:28):
This is what This is why the Niners had about
a fifteen year run in the NFC West where they
were never ever challenged because the other three teams were garbage.
So I bet, I'm willing to bet that during that
sixteen year period, the rest of that was the AFC East,

(03:50):
I will still hold on. I'm willing to bet during
that sixteen year period, the other teams combined in the
AFC East didn't even have a five hundred. I bet
all three of those teams combined are below five on.

Speaker 1 (04:04):
I struggle with this one because then you're what you're
doing right now, huh is you're jumping on your league
of parody thing that you do sometimes, which you're right,
which is true? True, you know is right, and you're right.
They had a weak division. I'm right, they had a
weaker division than everyone else. But dude, the Chiefs with that,
they cannot do this in the playoffs. You can't, dude,
you cannot beat this Broncos team Packers Broncos this week?

(04:26):
Is that right? Yeah? Now? But you know what I'm saying,
it's extraordinary what they did. That's that's a dynasty.

Speaker 2 (04:31):
But I'm just saying if every year the Cowboys until
the last five or six, every year the Cowboys had
two teams in their division that were contenders in their division.

Speaker 1 (04:42):
What you're gonna need here, and I think it's possible
for the Lions to dip out, and I think it's
possible that the Bears could dip out. Okay, Now, what
you're going to need there to get ahead of all
these teams for the Cowboys is you're going to need
the Packers to beat the Bears in two weeks. The
Lions have the Rams this week, the Aaron Rodgers Steelers.

Speaker 2 (05:03):
I need the Lions to lose out. They have the
Bears again too, So I don't care about the Bear.
Oh well, I do care about I think you can jump.

Speaker 1 (05:12):
I think you could get ahead because there's there's a
scenario in play where the Bears you end up ten,
six and one and the Bears end up nine to eight. Uh,
it's not likely.

Speaker 2 (05:22):
But look, even if the Bears end up ten and seven,
we're in yeah. Yeah, because we have yeah, they can
win one.

Speaker 1 (05:28):
Yeah. CAYLEB. Williams is going to be a problem for
a while. They're good there now if they have a
line and they have an offensive, great offensive. So go
Chargers tonight. If you want to watch an ESPN two,
it's the Monsters Inc. Broadcast.

Speaker 2 (05:41):
That's why it's been going on behind your head the
whole time. Okay, very good, all right. Coming up next,
a man who had a tremendous impact on the Dallas
business and sports community has passed.

Speaker 1 (05:50):
We'll talk about him next
