This is the best of the Ben Mahler Show on
Fox Sports Radio.
Speaker 1 (00:37):
A case of the Buffalo Blues. That's right, I said it,
the Buffalo Blues. Well come, in the beginning of another
hour of the Ben Mahlor Show. We are in the
air everywhere. You cannot stop us. No, you can. You
(01:00):
can try. You can try, but you will not be
able to succeed. I'm telling you, no matter what, you
will not be able to succeed. As we are hanging
out side by side here taking up bandwidth, as we
provide progression and not not regression. No, no coast, the coast, border,
(01:21):
the border, and beyond on the vast and humongously powerful
microphones of fsre emmanating live from the hand. Now you
say we're emitting live from the hand, what are you
talking about emining and live from the strong hand. We
always have a strong hand. We always have a winning
(01:43):
hand from the world famous Fox Sports Radio Studios, as
approved by the one and only No stre Denis in
Seattle and also America's favorite drag queen caller for Lexus
in Buffalo as well. This portion of the Ben Maler
Show on Fox made possible part by our friends at
tire Iraq. For over forty years, ti i raq has
(02:03):
been helping customers like Alf and ferg Dog find the
right tires for how, what and where they drive ship
fast and free, which is approved by malaprop Guy back
by free road hazard protection very important for mister nice
guy that had the convenient installation options also huge there
like mobile tire installation, tire iraq dot Com, Lloway tire
(02:28):
buying should be. It's been a roller coaster kind of
a day and we're not We're not gonna bear the lead,
my man, We're not. We will go to Houston, a
city that they embraced cheaters. The baseball team not so much.
But this isn't this is football. We're all grown ups here, right.
(02:50):
We can move on from past battle royales that we've
had and we can break it down, and we will
break it down here. And our lead is from deep
in the heart of Texas. The curtain went up on
Week twelve of the NFL season, Josh Allen and the
caravan of Bill's Mafia rolling in to h Town for
(03:16):
a matchup against the NFL's top ranked defense. That was
the billing on this particular game. You had Al Michaels,
the seasoned veteran Al Michaels, and Herbie Kirk Herbstreet holding
machete Mike's as they try to navigate their way through
the Amazon. And I don't know if you're watching this
or not, maybe not us. That's stuff going on. We're
(03:37):
a week away from Thanksgiving. Well, don't worry. We watched
so you would not have to watch. It's our public service,
our good MITSVA of the day. So Will Anderson and
friends getting it done, getting her done. As the Houston's
Houston defense, very dominant defense, living up to the hype.
There they sacked Josh Allen, not once, not twice, not
(03:59):
three times, not four, not five, not six, not seven,
eight times. Josh Allen spent a lot of time on
his back there and number nine in year program, but
number one in your heart. Kalen Bullock forced not one,
not two, but three turnovers with an interception there a
game ceiling interception on a desperate heave by Josh Allen,
(04:22):
and that allowed the Texans to take a knee and
end the game. So Houston wins it twenty three to
nineteen over the Bills on a Thursday night special as
Buffalo drops to seven and four with the loss Davis
Mills and only one hundred and fifty three yards passing
but a couple of touchdown passes in the first half,
(04:44):
and the Texans are over five hundred at six and five,
third straight win with their backup quarterback as CJ. Stroud
not there, not playing in the backup getting it done.
Houston above five hundred for the first time all season.
And the better story, though, is in the losing locker room.
(05:06):
My goodness, Buffalo, what have you done? What happened? Let's
start out with Sean McDermott, the head coach of the Bills.
Not likely passed this year the way things are looking
at this particular moment, but he is for now the
head coach of the team in Buffalo. Here is McDermott.
(05:28):
Here the question and the answer as it relates to
the way the game was played. Let's go to the
audio tape. Take a list. I know you pride yourself
on getting more physical team. Did they beat it to
that tonight? Were they the more physical team?
Speaker 3 (05:42):
Well?
Speaker 1 (05:42):
When they hit their quarterback twelve times?
Speaker 4 (05:45):
You know, I don't like that.
Speaker 1 (05:47):
I don't like that stat at all. And it's not
a healthy way to play or a healthy way to
keep our quarterback healthy through the remainder of the season.
Speaker 4 (05:56):
So it's just not a good formula right there.
Speaker 1 (06:01):
Okay, thank you very much. I think I needed you
to tell me. We could not have figured that out
on my own. Needed you to tell me that. Thank
you very much, smart and meat head football coach. All Right,
So the Bills here, let's just let's get right to it.
The Bills are being called the F word. Well, not
that effort. They're being called frauds, frauds with a capital
F after they lost to the Texans. There, So that
(06:24):
is a good jumping off point. Let's start with that.
We'll work our way through. We've got plenty of time
here to discuss the question. Josh Allen, the reigning MVP
of the NFL, and his team, the Buffalo Bill is
being called fraudulent. Are we in or are we out
on that statement about the Buffalo Bill? So on this one,
(06:45):
I've got Playdough Penn and Teller and David Letterman and
we will put all of these things together and we
will do the hokey pokey and we'll shake it all about.
So ay, I'm in on this. I'm in on this
like it's animal style fries at in and out. Okay,
we have a talk show to dude right now at
(07:08):
this hour late at night, and we have to judge
things based on real time. So based on real time,
they began week twelve, they being the Buffalo Bills began
week twelve floppity flopping like they they showed up to
an exam with no pencil, but you had to have
a pencil. You had to have a pencil. They didn't
(07:28):
bring a pencil. But we don't need a pencil. It's
twenty twenty five. But no, you had to have a pencil.
They didn't bring a pencil. Bat you out by them,
and you are what your record says you are. So
are they good? Okay, they're gonna winning record? Are they
are they great? No? No, they're not great. This was
supposed to be greatness. This was supposed to be it.
(07:50):
You're changing stadiums at the end of the year. Here
this is me be your final run in the old venue,
and you're getting to that new shiny stadium across the street.
Go in there with a Super Bowl trophy. And instead,
if you look at the Bills from thirty thousand feet
up in the sky, the Buffalo Bills are all over
the map. It's like they're spinning a globe. You know,
(08:11):
you gotta spin the globe, and it kind of pointing
blindfolded is what they're doing. Even Stevie Meatballs would do
a better job than that. Now, one week they can
come out there and take care of Cans City. The
next week or a couple of weeks later, they're losing
to Davis Mills, the backup quarterback for the Texans, the
(08:32):
guy with the kind of a giraffe like look to
his appearance there. And yet Davis Mills did a better
job than Josh Allen. Let that marinate in your little
head for a second. How does that sound? May God,
the Bills in general got treated like it was a
kindergarten play dough. I have play doll back in the day.
(08:55):
You roll it, you smash it, put it back in
the container. Mix all the colors together. The text exposed
them in many ways. The Bills you look at the
point to if you didn't see the game as well
at nineteen points. Okay, they won the yardage total. One
of those touchdowns was on a special teams play. The
offense flatlined only two trips to the red zone for
(09:17):
the Buffalo Bills. Josh Allen's numbers were artificially inflated there.
It was that late trick oration, the gimmick play where
they had forty four yards. It was fourth and twenty
seven and the Bills collected forty four yards on a
play late in the fourth quarter, only to then self
destruct after that. But this team is bipolar. The Bills
(09:39):
are bipolar. They beat the Bucks, the Chiefs, and the Ravens,
which is great. The Ravens the first game of the year,
that wild comeback, the Chiefs, who are a middling team
this year. And then the Buccaneers they beat last week,
a wounded roster they lost to at the time what
we assumed was a weak Patriots team, and the foul
(10:00):
who stink, and the Houston Texans now the latest team
with their backup quarterback to win. So there's no compass,
there's no GPS penalty. It's just a lot of vibes,
a lot of vibes with the Buffalo Bills and the team.
I've determined Doctor Maller has determined they're suffering from holatosis.
They need a gallon of mouthwash and a therapist at
(10:22):
this point. Now Houston with the number one defensive and
so this is a placement test. How do you match
up against the top defense in the NFL for your
Buffalo And the answer is, don't ask. You don't want
to know the answer. Right, it was a trip up
in the sky on the vomit comet, is what it was.
(10:44):
They rode the vomit comet. Right now, the Buffalo Bills
are not on the VIP list. They were supposed to
be on the VIP list. They're not. No bottle service
for Buffalo. You're not getting the bottle service. And if
you can't trust them in big spots, how can you
trust them at all? And that's what you have to
ask yourself and answer yourself. You like the Bills and Derek,
(11:08):
the Bill's monster, and these guys. I'm sure none of
these guys will call up, because what happens when you
do a show like this. If your team wins, everyone's
a front runner. You want to smell yourself and navel gaze.
And then when you lose, y'all, I'm not listening. When
my team loses, you might say something me. Okay, I
know how it works. I've been around the block a
couple of times. Now Page two to the quarterback room, specifically, specifically,
(11:33):
and let's start with Josh Allen, who had a want
to forget about it kind of day. Here's Josh Allen,
who took the most sacks he's ever taken in his career,
with sack eight times. Eight times, you'll hear the question
and the answer from the reigning most valuable player in
the NFL. Take a listen. Can you even put into
(11:55):
words how it did to get through a game like
that most sacks of your career? Yeah, it's not fun.
Speaker 5 (12:02):
I ran into a couple myself. I gotta be better
throwing the ball away and living to see another down
and uh letting letting us play some situational football and
penning them deep, and too many times I was going
backwards and I gotta be better on that.
Speaker 1 (12:17):
All right. So to the point here, and what he
said was accurate. Bill's mafia will not acknowledge that. But
the question is how much of this suck bag performance
goes on the shoulders of Bill's quarterback Josh Allen. So
it's it's not two, it's not four, it's not six,
(12:38):
it's eight. Who do we appreciate eight sacks? Eight sacks?
That's football malpractice. And before we start getting the messages
coming in and say, well it's over too long, Oh
my e it's the Fed guys. Blame the Fed people,
the idiots. Yes, I'm sorry, No, no, no, Josh Allen
(13:01):
was out there playing hero ball, is what he was doing.
I call that hero ball. It's like the Penn and
Teller ducking spinning, turning every single play, trying to extend
the play. It was like a circus act under the
big top. Fun for all ages, as long as you're
a Houston Texans fan. Fun for all ages. There abra cadabra.
(13:21):
You got sacked eight times. That is not bad luck.
That is bad decision making. And what do we always say?
A sack is worse than an incompletion most of the time,
a drive that includes a sack, you end up not
scoring on that drive. You throw it away, stud, that's
what you do. You don't take a loss, you don't
(13:42):
invite disaster for Josh Allen. You don't play backyard football,
and you're the two hundred and fifty eight million dollar
franchise quarterback. Now, the Malard Mass says, to answer the
question how much of these suck bag performance is on
the shoulders of Josh Allen, Malar Mass is eighty percent.
Eighty percent of this is on Josh Allen for the
(14:03):
offensive problems there, and I'm being generous. The last three
games Allen had no touchdowns in this game, but the
last three games he's got five touchdowns, five interceptions, losses
to Miami and Houston's backup quarterback, and a win in
a second half onslought against the Buccaneers. So now he's
got the eight sacks in one game, many of them,
(14:26):
not all, not all. Let me repeat that, not all,
but many of them self inflicted. As he said, he
ran into a couple of sacks, and I know what
we're gonna get, right. This was not MVP level play.
This was reckless, caroless freelancing by Josh Allen. And that's
the kind of play that the Bills will never win anything.
They're screwed. And if he continues to play like that,
(14:48):
you'll say, well, this was it. They missed their opportunity,
and this is who Josh Allen is. Eventually, you gotta
blame the Hollywood starlet, right, you blame the woman. It's
got to be a woman's fault. But if you look
at this, the excuse I've already gotten when I get
two emails already from people listening to Buffalo or claim,
I don't know if they're in Buffalo or not, they're
Bills fans. One is it's the offensive line. It's the
(15:11):
offensive line. It's the receivers. They don't have enough good receivers.
It's the play calling, it's the coaching. Those are the
big three. That's the apologist checklist. I'm guessing if Andy
the comic book guy, Bill's mafia guy, Andy the comic
book Guy is listening, he'll call in with that. He'll
call in with the smiles. Oh, we love Josh Allen.
I've got a shrine to Josh Allen. Now stop. This
(15:33):
is on the quarterback on the quarterback. These are self
inflicted wounds. Tell me I'm wrong, Tell me I'm wrong.
All right, last word, we go to the winning locker room,
which is not the better story, but we go to
the winning locker room anyway, on the Texans side, with
Will Anderson leading the way. This is a championship level
(15:56):
defense in Houston. CEJ. Stroud is supposed to return from
the concussion protocol in the Texans next game. Not everyone
is on board with that. At this point, I heard
Herbstreet licking the toes of c J. Stroud, a franchise quarterback,
and all that. Okay, yeah, okay. Question, should the Houston
(16:21):
Texans do the unthinkable the unimaginable? Should the Houston Texans
continue to play backup quarterback Davis Mills over c J. Stroutt.
So the answer is, it's not complicated. You don't need
to fix this. It's not broken right now for the Texans.
(16:43):
And I look at this like it's a case of
this old late night talk shows guy named David Letterman
is stupid human tricks. Davis Mills has turned in to
the human seatbelt. He's not flashy, definitely not flashy, right,
not flashy yet gives you a little comfort of mind
if you're the Texans and keeps you relatively safe. Three starts,
(17:06):
three wins, no drama. He's only had one interception in
the three games. No hero ball, and the lesson is
rather obvious. You just be background. No is be elevator music.
If you're the Texans quarterback, stay out of the way.
Let the adults in the room which are on defense,
let them do their thing right. Just stay, stay out
(17:28):
of the way and let the Texans super Bowl worthy
defense eat. And he's like Tamo's Mills is like generic
brand cereal at the grocery store. Nobody gets excited when
they get a box of generic brand cereals. I don't
want store brand cereal. It's a rip off. Why do
I want that doesn't look good? The colors aren't the
same on the cereal. The taste is a little off.
(17:50):
It doesn't taste great. But somehow it gets the job done,
and more importantly, it saves you a couple bucks. And
all that. I'm not here and I'm not gonna sit
here behind the microphone and say O, CJ. Stroud is bad. However,
he is going the wrong direction. It's trending the wrong way,
it's not going the right direction for CJ. Stroud. Keep
(18:10):
in mind the Houston offensive line. The analytics nerds and
many self anointed geniuses among the fan base reached out
and said, wow, listen, the offensive line's not CJ. Stroud's fault.
The offensive line is hot garbage, and you just don't understand.
You just don't get it because you're doing the Overnight show.
(18:32):
You just can't understand. It's not CJ. Stroud's fault. No, no, no, no, no, no,
it's not his fault. Okay, So that was like seven
weeks ago, that was the argument. Something funny happened in
the last few weeks and now suddenly suddenly the Texans
offensive line look competent. However, that's only when Davis Mills
(18:55):
is in there making quick decisions with the football training
it like a hot potato and not playing Spider Man,
Spider Man, Spider Man back then. No, it's almost like
this is gonna blow your mind. It's almost like c J.
Stroud was part of the problem. Oh, you can't say that.
Why would you say that? What's wrong? Would you to
(19:17):
ban him? Block him? He said? CEJ. Stroud's part of
the problem. Up booooo what p damn Do I know
that's gonna trigger some fanboys? Cue the violin for Stroud's
very delicate ego, and I realize the Texans are going
to have to tiptoe through the tulips on this one.
(19:39):
I get it. I understand this guy hyped as the
franchise guy build as the cherry red Ferrari. However, right now,
if you're Demko Ryans, you take the dented, rusted out
jeep Wrangler with one hundred and seventy mile one hundred
seventy thousand miles on it. I just just it's a rustbucket.
(20:00):
You take that jeep Wrangling with one hundred and seventy
thousand miles on it, and that's the car you need.
It'll get you where you want to go. It's not
I go get there fast. And you know there's a
few issues here and there, but we're not in college anymore.
You're not developing anyone here. And until Davis Mills the
way I would do this, until Davis Mills has an
absolute hiccup game where he just completely stinks and throws
(20:23):
an ugly pick and fumbles and all that stuff, you
keep the train rolling, you keep the steam engine going, Jude, Jude,
just like that, all right? And because in Houston right now,
efficiency is sexy and wins. You play to win the game.
(20:43):
As long as the quarterback Davis Mills does not turn
the ball over, play, make reckless plays, take sacks, and
just allow the defense to do it. You'll be fine.
It's not that difficult. It's not. Don't make it harder
than it has to be.
Speaker 2 (20:57):
Be sure to catch live editions of The Ben Mellers
weekdays at two am Eastern eleven pm Pacific on Fox
Sports Radio and the iHeartRadio app.
Speaker 3 (21:07):
Hey, we're Covino and Rich Fox Sports Radio every day
five to seven pm Eastern. But here's the thing, we
never have enough time to get to everything we want
to get to.
Speaker 6 (21:15):
And that's why we have a brand new podcast called
over Promised. You see, we're having so much fun in
our two hour show. We never get to everything, honestly,
because this guy is over promising things we never have
time for.
Speaker 1 (21:28):
Yeah, you blubber lit lame in me.
Speaker 3 (21:30):
Well, you know what it's called over promise. You should
be good at it because you've been over promising women
for years.
Speaker 6 (21:34):
Well, it's a Cavino and Rich after show, and we
want you to be a part of it. We're gonna
be talking sports, of course, but we're also gonna talk
life and relationships. And if Rich and I are arguing
about something or we didn't have enough time, it will
continue on our after show called over Promised. Well, if
you don't get enough Covino and Rich, make sure you
check out over Promised and also Uncensored by the way,
so maybe we'll go at it even a little harder.
(21:55):
It's gonna be the best after show podcast.
Speaker 1 (21:57):
Of all time.
Speaker 6 (21:58):
There you go, over Promising. Remember you could see it
on YouTube, but definitely join us. Listen Over Promised with
Cadino and Rich on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts or
wherever you get your podcasts or lead this hour.
Speaker 1 (22:11):
Not from the Thursday night game, we can circle back
to that as the Texans get her done. The Houston
Texans into the wind column. There. They were a sizeable
home underdogs in that game, and they win that game
on defence eight sacks of Josh Allen. But the lead
from the Keystone state of Pennsylvania, we go where the
(22:33):
news of the day takes us and the soap opera
continues to be on the Ben Franklin Bridge there in Philly,
the champs of chaos, days of our lives. I gotta
tell you, as a talk shows I did not expect
this level of continued content from the Philadelphia football team.
So I say, bravo, tremendous job by the Eagles there,
(22:57):
going above and beyond the call of duty. Not been
following the dailies as they called them in the television world,
perhaps not, So let me give you the thumbnail recap.
We'll give you the thumbnail recap on this. So the
Eagles wide receiver A. J. Brown, he was asked about
(23:18):
speculation that he is not the same player that he
once was, and AJ Brown, well, he answered the question
and that led to a story. Let's go to the
audio tape. Here's AJ Brown take a listen. Would you
say there's speculation out there that you are not the
same player he once man, what would you say to
(23:38):
those people?
Speaker 7 (23:42):
Oh?
Speaker 1 (23:43):
In face face, he said, if you couldn't make that
out of some amami And he said, I guess the
kwan ain't the same player either, he said at his
locker there in the last media availability. That is a
good jumping off point. So let us discuss the question
what do you make of malcontent? Eagle wide receiver AJ
(24:06):
Brown snapping had a question on his performance or lack thereof,
that chatter that he's not the same player he once
was his level of play. So my observations on this,
I have Russell Crowe, Morse code, and Chuck e cheese,
and we will combine all of these things together and
(24:29):
we are going to make a steak sandwich. A cheese
steak sandwich is what we're gonna make. So number one
number number number, number, number.
Speaker 2 (24:41):
Number line.
Speaker 1 (24:44):
The champs of chaos. I'm gonna use that line that
they're the champs of gests. Filming another episode of Days
of Our Lives, the Philadelphia Special A J. Brown. Now
AJ Brown is the director, right nodding your head, Yes,
he's the director. He's the lead actor, and he's the
(25:05):
head of the wardrobe department as well. He's also good
at with props. He's like carrot top with props. He'll
bring a book, read a book on the bench, do
that kind of stuff. So these are hand crafted answers,
made to order, made to it. The man has become
an artisan of passive aggressive outbursts. And I am here
(25:26):
for it. I am I have a daily talk show
to do. I'm here for it. A master thespian AJ Brown.
Every time he speaks, I hear Russell Crowe in the Gladiator.
Are you not entertained? That's what I hear. The Eagles
could have hit control alt delete. They could have done
(25:48):
control alt delete on AJ Brown. The trade deadline was
right around Halloween, and they had teams that made them
sizeable offers to acquire AJ Brown, and they said nope, nope,
that's what they said. They said it. They kept him.
They said, his talent is so great. How great is it?
(26:09):
It's so great. We want to keep the player that
he's worth the migraine. And now here we are not
that far removed from the trade deadline. We're coming up
on Thanksgiving this coming week, and now all of a sudden,
it's like they need to go down to the Costco
and get pharmacy grade ibuprofe and a bucket and just
(26:31):
have those on standby. On and off the field. It's
not just an off the field issue. It is an
on the field issue which is spilled into the off
the field stuff. So AJ Brown is on pace for
eight hundred and twelve yards this year in Philadelphia. He's
on pace right, So if he does that, that would
be the lowest performance of his career, the worst season
(26:52):
of AJ Brown's career, eight hundred and twelve yards. How
much worse is this year than last year? Well, if
everything stays the same and nothing ever stays the same.
But we have a show to do right now, and
so if the numbers stay the same, that means that
AJ Brown's production will have gone down by almost twenty
(27:14):
five percent. Almost twenty five percent, twenty four point seven percent.
That's a tumble, a bumble and a fumble is what
that is. And his comeback is well, I guess Sakwan
Barkley he ain't the same player either, and he's not wrong.
Here's the other thing you do the side by side.
I mentioned AJ Brown's performance going down about twenty five percent,
(27:36):
but if you look at Barkley, he is off year
to year by almost forty five percent. Had the career
year last year, career year, the two thousand yard season.
This year his numbers are down by almost forty five percent,
forty three point eight percent decline year to year. So
(27:56):
everybody is underperforming on offense. Everybody is, and this is
classic deflection by AJ Brown. It's finger pointing, not that
he's wrong, not that he's wrong. And don't think this
isn't secretly actually aimed at Jalen Hurts, because when wide
receivers start giving statistical dissertations like AJ Brown, they're really
(28:20):
saying it ain't me, it's the bleep. But he bleep
bleep bleep bleep quarterback, that's who. Blame him. He's a man,
he can take it. Blame him. So Jalen Hurts out
there catching strays. This is the day after Jalen Hurts
came out and said, oh I gotta be better and
all that stuff. And just like that, another storm front
(28:42):
moves across the famous men Franklin Bridge. There the Delaware River,
the daily soap opera rolls on and on and on,
and the Philadelphia chaos properly served and it's just great.
And the Eagles play the Cowboys this weekend in Dallas.
Lane Johnson not playing actually in Arlington, but Lane Johnson's
(29:05):
not playing in that game. And if you look at
the numbers with Lane Johnson and without Lane Johnson, the
Eagles have, you say, it's just an offensive lineman who
gives about offensive lineman. The Eagles apparently care about offensive lineman.
His performance has been key to what they have done. Now, meanwhile,
we go to Minnesota. Another story that's been bubbling up
this year. We had an NFL coach recently offer a withering,
(29:28):
withering assessment, good word, withering assessment of Viking quarterback J. J. McCarthy,
the Michigan man. Now, the coach did not give his name.
He sensed palpable levels of exasperation from the Minnesota pass catchers.
All of this because McCarthy was unable to do his job,
(29:51):
was not able to get them the ball. The neuroscientist J. J. McCarthy,
according to the coach behind a Paywalt the athletic said
the receivers are visually frustrated and they are open all
over the tape. I guess the guy's watching the All
twenty two. He talked about Jalen Naylor and Jordan Addison,
Justin Jefferson, TJ. Hockinson, all those guys getting open. And
(30:14):
the person that gave this comment said that that Viking
offense should be putting up numbers like the Cincinnati Bengals offense. However,
that's not happening, and all you hear the coach said,
the quote all you hear from Minnesota is about how
rosy and the great it is there. Everything's wonderful. Blah
blah blah blah blah. A right, So that is a
good jumping off point. Let us discuss the question vikings
(30:38):
wide receivers. According to this coach visually frustrated with quarterback
Jaye J. McCarthy, how believable is this? So we absolutely
buy this. On the Mallord scale of believability, the Malord
scale of believability, it goes one to five, one to five,
(30:58):
I am at a four. I'm at a four on
the mald scale of believability means I strongly believe bordering
on the gospel, bordering on the Gospel. So you do
not need que cards on this. You don't need que cards.
Just see what's going on. McCarthy, as we have talked
(31:18):
about in previous episodes of the show so far, has
been biblically bad bad, bad, bad, bad, bad bad bad,
so bad. He's literally choking on meat sauce at this point.
So Minnesota's playmakers are not just frustrated. The video is there.
The scale believability. There's clips they're not all AI that
(31:39):
show some of these receivers and the body language is
like they're being held hostage and they're blinking morse code,
trying to trying to facilitate some kind of change on
the sidelence. And he watched the film, watch the clips.
Jordan Addison waving his arms like he's directing air traffic
at the Minneapolis Airport, justin Jefferson. Generational talent, He got
(31:59):
the bad and he's giving off the energy justin Jefferson
as he's running around there like he wishes he were
flipping Juicy Lucy's at Matt's Barr the birthplace of the
Juicy Lucy there in Minnesota, instead of running go roots
or routes and then never getting the ball, just doing
cardio out there running around. You got TJ. Hawkinson, the
(32:22):
man who's staring at the sky even when he's in
a dome, waiting for a meteor to come down and
put him out of his misery. This nameless coach. We
don't know who this is. He did use coach speak though,
what was that? The quarterback stinks and everyone knows it
except the public relations department. Now that should be the
(32:44):
Cincinnati office. That was the line that the guy used
three legitimate weapons, three big time weapons, explosive potential. Instead,
it's like they're running in snow shoes, is what they're
doing here. Good luck. The body language again says it all.
Receivers are not frustrated, to quote the late great Brian Wheeler.
They are agitated, alarmed, and acrimonious is what they are.
(33:06):
Minnesota can spin this all they want, talk about progress,
potential and patience, the three piece. The receivers, though, are
telling you the truth with the body language, the eye movement,
all that stuff, and right now they are ska re
ming is what they're doing. They are. It's not great,
(33:28):
all right? Final point, we go to the great Pacific Northwest,
where legends like JJ in Renton and the no strit
Deenas and Crying Craig and so many great fans of
the show have supported what we do there in Seattle
and done a great job. So I provide you some
witty Seahawk commentary, and that is about Sam Darnold, the
(33:52):
Seahawks quarterback Sam Darnold, who says that he now he
understands after that clunker against the Rams, he understands that
he and his team have to be better at protecting
the ball. Ball security and this after a four week stretch.
The Seattle football team has turned the ball over twelve
(34:13):
times now last four games, twelve turnovers, and if my
math is correct, the Seahawks lead the NFL. They are
number one in in giveaways. They've had twenty giveaways this year,
twelve in the last four weeks, which begs the question
where are you at? Where are you at on Sam
(34:36):
Donald urging the Seahawks to protect the ball better? Where
are you at on that? So this is the Sam
Donald paradox is what it is where ball security goes
to die. It's like the Bermuda triangle. Donald telling his
teammates to protect the football is akin to an arsonist
(34:59):
telling the FI department, lecturing them on how to do
their job. The Seahawks don't have a turnover issue. They don't.
They have a Sam Donald issue is what they have
Using Malormath, Seattle has twenty total turnovers. Donald, you want
to take a guess how many Donald is responsible for? Well,
(35:19):
you know he had four interceptions in the last game,
and how many turnovers do you think Donald is responsible for?
The answer, seventy percent of them. Seventy percent. Fourteen of
the twenty turnovers are at the hands of that wicked
bad Sam Donald. But he's going to be okay, everything's fine,
(35:42):
Everything's okay. Yeah, okay, Well there you go. Ten interceptions,
four fumbles, seventy percent of the problem. And when Sam
Donald says we've got to protect the football, I have
to be better. Okay, what does that mean. I mean,
I'm going to keep doing what I've always done. However,
(36:04):
I'm going to say the right things into this microphone.
So the quotes look really good on State Provdanews service,
the Seahawks dot Com. Nobody, no buddy, no buddy in
the Seattle Seahawks front office can complain, cannot do it.
(36:24):
It would be like the waiter at Chuck E Cheese
complaining there's too many damn kids here. There's too many
kids in the arcade. All they watched the pizza. It's
a big pan in the ass. No, will you work
at Chuck E Cheese. That's what happens. If you're signing
Sam Darnold and he turns the ball over and kills
(36:45):
your season. You signed up for that. I didn't sign
up for that you signed up for that Sam Darnald
is telling Seattle to protect the ball better. It's kind
of like a burglar leaving sticky notes reminding people to
lie their doors until further notice. Seattle's living in the
(37:05):
haunted House of Sam Darld And every Sunday and sometimes
on Thursday, and occasionally on Monday, something goes bumpity bump
in the night and boom and the pigskin ends up
in the other team's hands. Time and time and time again.
Speaker 2 (37:29):
Be sure to catch live editions of the Ben Mallor
Show weekdays at two am Eastern eleven pm Pacific.
Speaker 1 (37:35):
Here we all smaller. How about that? To the third degree?
This is one big vent gets grilled coolly so Man.
Speaker 7 (37:46):
The other day we talked about Matthew Stafford being the
favorite for MVP, but now it seems that the Rams
are also the betting favorite to win the Super Bowl.
Speaker 4 (37:54):
Are you that confident, Ben.
Speaker 1 (37:57):
No, it's wide open. It's the Rams have a very
good team. They have a good shot of getting through
the Super Bowl. But it's not like they're a lock.
There's three or four teams in the AFC and the
NFC that you can go with. The Rams If the
defense continues to play the way they're playing, there's no
reason they cannot reach the Super Bowl. Philadelphia is beatable
(38:18):
without They just beat Seattle. They got no chance with
Sam Darnold Green Bay. There's no invincible team. You look
at the top teams in the NFC, there's no one's
like invincible.
Speaker 7 (38:26):
Right next, Joe Flacco spoke with the media on Wednesday
and said that he would like a starting opportunity in
twenty twenty six.
Speaker 4 (38:32):
Do you think someone will give it to him?
Speaker 1 (38:34):
Yes. What he needs to do is go down to
Best Buy and buy Madden Football twenty seven when it
comes out, and he will be able to play as
QB one on that game. I think he'll be able
to do very well. Now, of course he'll start. If
he wants to keep playing, he'll be picked up by
somebody coop as a backup, high end, backup and bad team.
He'll get a chance to start. He's not gonna be
(38:55):
a QB one next.
Speaker 7 (38:56):
With Nico Harrison gone, Mark Cuban is back in the
decision making mix with the MAVs. How long do you
think it'll take him to undo the damage.
Speaker 1 (39:03):
Now, that is just a pr move he's not making
any decisions. He just has a seat at the table,
but he's not actually deciding. He doesn't have final edit
on that. That's a bull crap story. I do like that.
Nico Harrison blame Mark Cuban for uh the Jalen Brunson movie.
That was cool. How do we do?
Speaker 7 (39:18):
We do?
Speaker 1 (39:19):
What we do? What we passed? I passed, I passed.
I passed. I passed, I passed, I passed.

Speaker 7 (43:37):
So we are going to start off in the theaters
as we always do here on Coop Scoba and Entertainment.
And the first thing that I have to mention, of course,
is Wicked for Good out this weekend.
Speaker 4 (43:47):
That is the sequel to Wicked the.
Speaker 1 (43:50):
If you hear it's better than the Cowboys, I'll.
Speaker 4 (43:53):
Tell you what. It's not better than the first one.
Speaker 1 (43:58):
Oh yeah, well yes, the sequels almost than Godfather very rarely.
Speaker 4 (44:02):
It's technically the second half of a musical.
Speaker 7 (44:04):
Yeah, so it's not it's not technically a sequel because
they just split.
Speaker 4 (44:07):
It into all downhill from there.
Speaker 1 (44:11):
Yeah.
Speaker 7 (44:11):
I saw it earlier today. It was good. It was
not as good as the first one, but I feel
I feel that way about the the musical as well.
Like the play, the first half before the intermission is
much better than the second half, so it's not really
the movie's fault.
Speaker 4 (44:28):
But that being said, it's.
Speaker 1 (44:29):
They don't got your money, coop, so they don't.
Speaker 7 (44:31):
Yeah, exactly, it's a it's a it's a it's a
it's a fun time. You can go go see it.
It's it's worth It also out in theaters this weekend.
And I'm excited about this one. It is a movie
called Rental Family. And this one's getting great reviews from
the critics and it is about by the way. It's
starring Brendan Fraser, and he plays Yes, he's he's awesome.
(44:52):
He plays a lonely, down and out American actor living
in Tokyo who starts working for a Japanese rental family
company to play various stand in roles in other people's lives,
and along the way he discovers unexpected joys within his
built in family.
Speaker 1 (45:08):
That'd be great, I can rent somebody to go to
the DMV. That'd be awesome.
Speaker 4 (45:14):
You don't want to do I don't know if it's
no so much like that got you?
Speaker 7 (45:20):
Yeah, but it sounds like a nice feel good movie,
and I am a big Brendan Fraser fan, so I
will check that out. Moving over to television, the first
thing I want to mention is a new movie on
Netflix that is available right now.
Speaker 4 (45:34):
It is called Train Dreams.
Speaker 1 (45:37):
Now.
Speaker 7 (45:37):
Netflix original movies don't typically get good reviews, but this
one is an exception. It's getting great reviews from critics.
It was the best reviewed film at this year's Sundance
Festival and it is a period drama that takes a
decades long look at the life of Robert gray Neer
played by Joel Edgerton, who is a day laborer building
the railroads at the Pacific Northwest at the start of
(45:59):
the twentieth century.
Speaker 4 (46:00):
William H.
Speaker 7 (46:01):
Macy, Felicity Jones, and Will Patton also star in this
Train Dreams available right now, and I'm gonna move over
to Let's see what what day is this one? This
is on Let me see if I can type it
in correctly. Nope, all right. This is on Tuesday, November
twenty fifth, and it is on HBO Max Streaming or
(46:25):
HBO Regular TV at nine pm. And it's called The Shuffle.
It is a documentary short and it is about the
nineteen eighty five hit song, the Super Bowl Shuffle by
Chicago Bears.
Speaker 1 (46:40):
Well that year, I was a kid coop, but they
had a bunch of teams. That's what we got. Ram it.
You can ram it all day, you can ram it
all night. That same concept they kind of ripped off.
It was in that era. Oh okay, yeah, that's the Rams.
Yeah that was that was from the same the group
that did the Bears they like to every because was
very popular at the time, right remember correctly, and they
(47:02):
were like, you gonna copy that. Yeah.
Speaker 7 (47:04):
So this is just a it's a forty minute documentary
chronicling the making of that that hit song.
Speaker 1 (47:11):
What is it today?
Speaker 4 (47:11):
Is that Tuesday?
Speaker 1 (47:13):
I gotta wait till Tuesday.
Speaker 4 (47:14):
I'll forget.
Speaker 1 (47:15):
I want to watch that though. That sounds like something
I'd be into this, yeah.
Speaker 4 (47:18):
For sure.
Speaker 7 (47:18):
And then last, but certainly not least, the final season
of Stranger Things premieres on Wednesday, November twenty sixth. This

A case of the Buffalo Blues. That's right, I said it,
the Buffalo Blues. Well come, in the beginning of another
hour of the Ben Mahlor Show. We are in the
air everywhere. You cannot stop us. No, you can. You
(01:00):

by free road hazard protection very important for mister nice
guy that had the convenient installation options also huge there
like mobile tire installation, tire iraq dot Com, Lloway tire
(02:28):
buying should be. It's been a roller coaster kind of
a day and we're not We're not gonna bear the lead,
my man, We're not. We will go to Houston, a
city that they embraced cheaters. The baseball team not so much.
But this isn't this is football. We're all grown ups here, right.
(02:50):
We can move on from past battle royales that we've
had and we can break it down, and we will
break it down here. And our lead is from deep
in the heart of Texas. The curtain went up on
Week twelve of the NFL season, Josh Allen and the
caravan of Bill's Mafia rolling in to h Town for
(03:16):
a matchup against the NFL's top ranked defense. That was
the billing on this particular game. You had Al Michaels,
the seasoned veteran Al Michaels, and Herbie Kirk Herbstreet holding
machete Mike's as they try to navigate their way through
the Amazon. And I don't know if you're watching this
or not, maybe not us. That's stuff going on. We're
(03:37):
a week away from Thanksgiving. Well, don't worry. We watched
so you would not have to watch. It's our public service,
our good MITSVA of the day. So Will Anderson and
friends getting it done, getting her done. As the Houston's
Houston defense, very dominant defense, living up to the hype.
There they sacked Josh Allen, not once, not twice, not
(03:59):
three times, not four, not five, not six, not seven,
eight times. Josh Allen spent a lot of time on
his back there and number nine in year program, but
number one in your heart. Kalen Bullock forced not one,
not two, but three turnovers with an interception there a
game ceiling interception on a desperate heave by Josh Allen,
(04:22):
and that allowed the Texans to take a knee and
end the game. So Houston wins it twenty three to
nineteen over the Bills on a Thursday night special as
Buffalo drops to seven and four with the loss Davis
Mills and only one hundred and fifty three yards passing
but a couple of touchdown passes in the first half,
(04:44):
and the Texans are over five hundred at six and five,
third straight win with their backup quarterback as CJ. Stroud
not there, not playing in the backup getting it done.
Houston above five hundred for the first time all season.
And the better story, though, is in the losing locker room.
(05:06):
My goodness, Buffalo, what have you done? What happened? Let's
start out with Sean McDermott, the head coach of the Bills.
Not likely passed this year the way things are looking
at this particular moment, but he is for now the
head coach of the team in Buffalo. Here is McDermott.
(05:28):
Here the question and the answer as it relates to
the way the game was played. Let's go to the
audio tape. Take a list. I know you pride yourself
on getting more physical team. Did they beat it to
that tonight? Were they the more physical team?
Speaker 3 (05:42):
Well?
Speaker 1 (05:42):
When they hit their quarterback twelve times?
Speaker 4 (05:45):
You know, I don't like that.
Speaker 1 (05:47):
I don't like that stat at all. And it's not
a healthy way to play or a healthy way to
keep our quarterback healthy through the remainder of the season.
Speaker 4 (05:56):
So it's just not a good formula right there.
Speaker 1 (06:01):
Okay, thank you very much. I think I needed you
to tell me. We could not have figured that out
on my own. Needed you to tell me that. Thank
you very much, smart and meat head football coach. All Right,
So the Bills here, let's just let's get right to it.
The Bills are being called the F word. Well, not
that effort. They're being called frauds, frauds with a capital
F after they lost to the Texans. There, So that
(06:24):
is a good jumping off point. Let's start with that.
We'll work our way through. We've got plenty of time
here to discuss the question. Josh Allen, the reigning MVP
of the NFL, and his team, the Buffalo Bill is
being called fraudulent. Are we in or are we out
on that statement about the Buffalo Bill? So on this one,
(06:45):
I've got Playdough Penn and Teller and David Letterman and
we will put all of these things together and we
will do the hokey pokey and we'll shake it all about.
So ay, I'm in on this. I'm in on this
like it's animal style fries at in and out. Okay,
we have a talk show to dude right now at
(07:08):
this hour late at night, and we have to judge
things based on real time. So based on real time,
they began week twelve, they being the Buffalo Bills began
week twelve floppity flopping like they they showed up to
an exam with no pencil, but you had to have
a pencil. You had to have a pencil. They didn't
(07:28):
bring a pencil. But we don't need a pencil. It's
twenty twenty five. But no, you had to have a pencil.
They didn't bring a pencil. Bat you out by them,
and you are what your record says you are. So
are they good? Okay, they're gonna winning record? Are they
are they great? No? No, they're not great. This was
supposed to be greatness. This was supposed to be it.
(07:50):
You're changing stadiums at the end of the year. Here
this is me be your final run in the old venue,
and you're getting to that new shiny stadium across the street.
Go in there with a Super Bowl trophy. And instead,
if you look at the Bills from thirty thousand feet
up in the sky, the Buffalo Bills are all over
the map. It's like they're spinning a globe. You know,
(08:11):
you gotta spin the globe, and it kind of pointing
blindfolded is what they're doing. Even Stevie Meatballs would do
a better job than that. Now, one week they can
come out there and take care of Cans City. The
next week or a couple of weeks later, they're losing
to Davis Mills, the backup quarterback for the Texans, the
(08:32):
guy with the kind of a giraffe like look to
his appearance there. And yet Davis Mills did a better
job than Josh Allen. Let that marinate in your little
head for a second. How does that sound? May God,
the Bills in general got treated like it was a
kindergarten play dough. I have play doll back in the day.
(08:55):
You roll it, you smash it, put it back in
the container. Mix all the colors together. The text exposed
them in many ways. The Bills you look at the
point to if you didn't see the game as well
at nineteen points. Okay, they won the yardage total. One
of those touchdowns was on a special teams play. The
offense flatlined only two trips to the red zone for
(09:17):
the Buffalo Bills. Josh Allen's numbers were artificially inflated there.
It was that late trick oration, the gimmick play where
they had forty four yards. It was fourth and twenty
seven and the Bills collected forty four yards on a
play late in the fourth quarter, only to then self
destruct after that. But this team is bipolar. The Bills
(09:39):
are bipolar. They beat the Bucks, the Chiefs, and the Ravens,
which is great. The Ravens the first game of the year,
that wild comeback, the Chiefs, who are a middling team
this year. And then the Buccaneers they beat last week,
a wounded roster they lost to at the time what
we assumed was a weak Patriots team, and the foul
(10:00):
who stink, and the Houston Texans now the latest team
with their backup quarterback to win. So there's no compass,
there's no GPS penalty. It's just a lot of vibes,
a lot of vibes with the Buffalo Bills and the team.
I've determined Doctor Maller has determined they're suffering from holatosis.
They need a gallon of mouthwash and a therapist at
(10:22):
this point. Now Houston with the number one defensive and
so this is a placement test. How do you match
up against the top defense in the NFL for your
Buffalo And the answer is, don't ask. You don't want
to know the answer. Right, it was a trip up
in the sky on the vomit comet, is what it was.
(10:44):
They rode the vomit comet. Right now, the Buffalo Bills
are not on the VIP list. They were supposed to
be on the VIP list. They're not. No bottle service
for Buffalo. You're not getting the bottle service. And if
you can't trust them in big spots, how can you
trust them at all? And that's what you have to
ask yourself and answer yourself. You like the Bills and Derek,
(11:08):
the Bill's monster, and these guys. I'm sure none of
these guys will call up, because what happens when you
do a show like this. If your team wins, everyone's
a front runner. You want to smell yourself and navel gaze.
And then when you lose, y'all, I'm not listening. When
my team loses, you might say something me. Okay, I
know how it works. I've been around the block a
couple of times. Now Page two to the quarterback room, specifically, specifically,
(11:33):
and let's start with Josh Allen, who had a want
to forget about it kind of day. Here's Josh Allen,
who took the most sacks he's ever taken in his career,
with sack eight times. Eight times, you'll hear the question
and the answer from the reigning most valuable player in
the NFL. Take a listen. Can you even put into
(11:55):
words how it did to get through a game like
that most sacks of your career? Yeah, it's not fun.
Speaker 5 (12:02):
I ran into a couple myself. I gotta be better
throwing the ball away and living to see another down
and uh letting letting us play some situational football and
penning them deep, and too many times I was going
backwards and I gotta be better on that.
Speaker 1 (12:17):
All right. So to the point here, and what he
said was accurate. Bill's mafia will not acknowledge that. But
the question is how much of this suck bag performance
goes on the shoulders of Bill's quarterback Josh Allen. So
it's it's not two, it's not four, it's not six,
(12:38):
it's eight. Who do we appreciate eight sacks? Eight sacks?
That's football malpractice. And before we start getting the messages
coming in and say, well it's over too long, Oh
my e it's the Fed guys. Blame the Fed people,
the idiots. Yes, I'm sorry, No, no, no, Josh Allen
(13:01):
was out there playing hero ball, is what he was doing.
I call that hero ball. It's like the Penn and
Teller ducking spinning, turning every single play, trying to extend
the play. It was like a circus act under the
big top. Fun for all ages, as long as you're
a Houston Texans fan. Fun for all ages. There abra cadabra.
(13:21):
You got sacked eight times. That is not bad luck.
That is bad decision making. And what do we always say?
A sack is worse than an incompletion most of the time,
a drive that includes a sack, you end up not
scoring on that drive. You throw it away, stud, that's
what you do. You don't take a loss, you don't
(13:42):
invite disaster for Josh Allen. You don't play backyard football,
and you're the two hundred and fifty eight million dollar
franchise quarterback. Now, the Malard Mass says, to answer the
question how much of these suck bag performance is on
the shoulders of Josh Allen, Malar Mass is eighty percent.
Eighty percent of this is on Josh Allen for the
(14:03):
offensive problems there, and I'm being generous. The last three
games Allen had no touchdowns in this game, but the
last three games he's got five touchdowns, five interceptions, losses
to Miami and Houston's backup quarterback, and a win in
a second half onslought against the Buccaneers. So now he's
got the eight sacks in one game, many of them,
(14:26):
not all, not all. Let me repeat that, not all,
but many of them self inflicted. As he said, he
ran into a couple of sacks, and I know what
we're gonna get, right. This was not MVP level play.
This was reckless, caroless freelancing by Josh Allen. And that's
the kind of play that the Bills will never win anything.
They're screwed. And if he continues to play like that,
(14:48):
you'll say, well, this was it. They missed their opportunity,
and this is who Josh Allen is. Eventually, you gotta
blame the Hollywood starlet, right, you blame the woman. It's
got to be a woman's fault. But if you look
at this, the excuse I've already gotten when I get
two emails already from people listening to Buffalo or claim,
I don't know if they're in Buffalo or not, they're
Bills fans. One is it's the offensive line. It's the
(15:11):
offensive line. It's the receivers. They don't have enough good receivers.
It's the play calling, it's the coaching. Those are the
big three. That's the apologist checklist. I'm guessing if Andy
the comic book guy, Bill's mafia guy, Andy the comic
book Guy is listening, he'll call in with that. He'll
call in with the smiles. Oh, we love Josh Allen.
I've got a shrine to Josh Allen. Now stop. This
(15:33):
is on the quarterback on the quarterback. These are self
inflicted wounds. Tell me I'm wrong, Tell me I'm wrong.
All right, last word, we go to the winning locker room,
which is not the better story, but we go to
the winning locker room anyway, on the Texans side, with
Will Anderson leading the way. This is a championship level
(15:56):
defense in Houston. CEJ. Stroud is supposed to return from
the concussion protocol in the Texans next game. Not everyone
is on board with that. At this point, I heard
Herbstreet licking the toes of c J. Stroud, a franchise quarterback,
and all that. Okay, yeah, okay. Question, should the Houston
(16:21):
Texans do the unthinkable the unimaginable? Should the Houston Texans
continue to play backup quarterback Davis Mills over c J. Stroutt.
So the answer is, it's not complicated. You don't need
to fix this. It's not broken right now for the Texans.
(16:43):
And I look at this like it's a case of
this old late night talk shows guy named David Letterman
is stupid human tricks. Davis Mills has turned in to
the human seatbelt. He's not flashy, definitely not flashy, right,
not flashy yet gives you a little comfort of mind
if you're the Texans and keeps you relatively safe. Three starts,
(17:06):
three wins, no drama. He's only had one interception in
the three games. No hero ball, and the lesson is
rather obvious. You just be background. No is be elevator music.
If you're the Texans quarterback, stay out of the way.
Let the adults in the room which are on defense,
let them do their thing right. Just stay, stay out
(17:28):
of the way and let the Texans super Bowl worthy
defense eat. And he's like Tamo's Mills is like generic
brand cereal at the grocery store. Nobody gets excited when
they get a box of generic brand cereals. I don't
want store brand cereal. It's a rip off. Why do
I want that doesn't look good? The colors aren't the
same on the cereal. The taste is a little off.
(17:50):
It doesn't taste great. But somehow it gets the job done,
and more importantly, it saves you a couple bucks. And
all that. I'm not here and I'm not gonna sit
here behind the microphone and say O, CJ. Stroud is bad. However,
he is going the wrong direction. It's trending the wrong way,
it's not going the right direction for CJ. Stroud. Keep
(18:10):
in mind the Houston offensive line. The analytics nerds and
many self anointed geniuses among the fan base reached out
and said, wow, listen, the offensive line's not CJ. Stroud's fault.
The offensive line is hot garbage, and you just don't understand.
You just don't get it because you're doing the Overnight show.
(18:32):
You just can't understand. It's not CJ. Stroud's fault. No, no, no, no, no, no,
it's not his fault. Okay, So that was like seven
weeks ago, that was the argument. Something funny happened in
the last few weeks and now suddenly suddenly the Texans
offensive line look competent. However, that's only when Davis Mills
(18:55):
is in there making quick decisions with the football training
it like a hot potato and not playing Spider Man,
Spider Man, Spider Man back then. No, it's almost like
this is gonna blow your mind. It's almost like c J.
Stroud was part of the problem. Oh, you can't say that.
Why would you say that? What's wrong? Would you to
(19:17):
ban him? Block him? He said? CEJ. Stroud's part of
the problem. Up booooo what p damn Do I know
that's gonna trigger some fanboys? Cue the violin for Stroud's
very delicate ego, and I realize the Texans are going
to have to tiptoe through the tulips on this one.
(19:39):
I get it. I understand this guy hyped as the
franchise guy build as the cherry red Ferrari. However, right now,
if you're Demko Ryans, you take the dented, rusted out
jeep Wrangler with one hundred and seventy mile one hundred
seventy thousand miles on it. I just just it's a rustbucket.
(20:00):
You take that jeep Wrangling with one hundred and seventy
thousand miles on it, and that's the car you need.
It'll get you where you want to go. It's not
I go get there fast. And you know there's a
few issues here and there, but we're not in college anymore.
You're not developing anyone here. And until Davis Mills the
way I would do this, until Davis Mills has an
absolute hiccup game where he just completely stinks and throws
(20:23):
an ugly pick and fumbles and all that stuff, you
keep the train rolling, you keep the steam engine going, Jude, Jude,
just like that, all right? And because in Houston right now,
efficiency is sexy and wins. You play to win the game.
(20:43):
As long as the quarterback Davis Mills does not turn
the ball over, play, make reckless plays, take sacks, and
just allow the defense to do it. You'll be fine.
It's not that difficult. It's not. Don't make it harder
than it has to be.
Speaker 2 (20:57):

Speaker 3 (21:07):
Hey, we're Covino and Rich Fox Sports Radio every day
five to seven pm Eastern. But here's the thing, we
never have enough time to get to everything we want
to get to.
Speaker 6 (21:15):
And that's why we have a brand new podcast called
over Promised. You see, we're having so much fun in
our two hour show. We never get to everything, honestly,
because this guy is over promising things we never have
time for.
Speaker 1 (21:28):
Yeah, you blubber lit lame in me.
Speaker 3 (21:30):
Well, you know what it's called over promise. You should
be good at it because you've been over promising women
for years.
Speaker 6 (21:34):
Well, it's a Cavino and Rich after show, and we
want you to be a part of it. We're gonna
be talking sports, of course, but we're also gonna talk
life and relationships. And if Rich and I are arguing
about something or we didn't have enough time, it will
continue on our after show called over Promised. Well, if
you don't get enough Covino and Rich, make sure you
check out over Promised and also Uncensored by the way,
so maybe we'll go at it even a little harder.
(21:55):
It's gonna be the best after show podcast.
Speaker 1 (21:57):
Of all time.
Speaker 6 (21:58):
There you go, over Promising. Remember you could see it
on YouTube, but definitely join us. Listen Over Promised with
Cadino and Rich on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts or
wherever you get your podcasts or lead this hour.
Speaker 1 (22:11):
Not from the Thursday night game, we can circle back
to that as the Texans get her done. The Houston
Texans into the wind column. There. They were a sizeable
home underdogs in that game, and they win that game
on defence eight sacks of Josh Allen. But the lead
from the Keystone state of Pennsylvania, we go where the
(22:33):
news of the day takes us and the soap opera
continues to be on the Ben Franklin Bridge there in Philly,
the champs of chaos, days of our lives. I gotta
tell you, as a talk shows I did not expect
this level of continued content from the Philadelphia football team.
So I say, bravo, tremendous job by the Eagles there,
(22:57):
going above and beyond the call of duty. Not been
following the dailies as they called them in the television world,
perhaps not, So let me give you the thumbnail recap.
We'll give you the thumbnail recap on this. So the
Eagles wide receiver A. J. Brown, he was asked about
(23:18):
speculation that he is not the same player that he
once was, and AJ Brown, well, he answered the question
and that led to a story. Let's go to the
audio tape. Here's AJ Brown take a listen. Would you
say there's speculation out there that you are not the
same player he once man, what would you say to
(23:38):
those people?
Speaker 7 (23:42):
Oh?
Speaker 1 (23:43):
In face face, he said, if you couldn't make that
out of some amami And he said, I guess the
kwan ain't the same player either, he said at his
locker there in the last media availability. That is a
good jumping off point. So let us discuss the question
what do you make of malcontent? Eagle wide receiver AJ
(24:06):
Brown snapping had a question on his performance or lack thereof,
that chatter that he's not the same player he once
was his level of play. So my observations on this,
I have Russell Crowe, Morse code, and Chuck e cheese,
and we will combine all of these things together and
(24:29):
we are going to make a steak sandwich. A cheese
steak sandwich is what we're gonna make. So number one
number number number, number, number.
Speaker 2 (24:41):
Number line.
Speaker 1 (24:44):
The champs of chaos. I'm gonna use that line that
they're the champs of gests. Filming another episode of Days
of Our Lives, the Philadelphia Special A J. Brown. Now
AJ Brown is the director, right nodding your head, Yes,
he's the director. He's the lead actor, and he's the
(25:05):
head of the wardrobe department as well. He's also good
at with props. He's like carrot top with props. He'll
bring a book, read a book on the bench, do
that kind of stuff. So these are hand crafted answers,
made to order, made to it. The man has become
an artisan of passive aggressive outbursts. And I am here
(25:26):
for it. I am I have a daily talk show
to do. I'm here for it. A master thespian AJ Brown.
Every time he speaks, I hear Russell Crowe in the Gladiator.
Are you not entertained? That's what I hear. The Eagles
could have hit control alt delete. They could have done
(25:48):
control alt delete on AJ Brown. The trade deadline was
right around Halloween, and they had teams that made them
sizeable offers to acquire AJ Brown, and they said nope, nope,
that's what they said. They said it. They kept him.
They said, his talent is so great. How great is it?
(26:09):
It's so great. We want to keep the player that
he's worth the migraine. And now here we are not
that far removed from the trade deadline. We're coming up
on Thanksgiving this coming week, and now all of a sudden,
it's like they need to go down to the Costco
and get pharmacy grade ibuprofe and a bucket and just
(26:31):
have those on standby. On and off the field. It's
not just an off the field issue. It is an
on the field issue which is spilled into the off
the field stuff. So AJ Brown is on pace for
eight hundred and twelve yards this year in Philadelphia. He's
on pace right, So if he does that, that would
be the lowest performance of his career, the worst season
(26:52):
of AJ Brown's career, eight hundred and twelve yards. How
much worse is this year than last year? Well, if
everything stays the same and nothing ever stays the same.
But we have a show to do right now, and
so if the numbers stay the same, that means that
AJ Brown's production will have gone down by almost twenty
(27:14):
five percent. Almost twenty five percent, twenty four point seven percent.
That's a tumble, a bumble and a fumble is what
that is. And his comeback is well, I guess Sakwan
Barkley he ain't the same player either, and he's not wrong.
Here's the other thing you do the side by side.
I mentioned AJ Brown's performance going down about twenty five percent,
(27:36):
but if you look at Barkley, he is off year
to year by almost forty five percent. Had the career
year last year, career year, the two thousand yard season.
This year his numbers are down by almost forty five percent,
forty three point eight percent decline year to year. So
(27:56):
everybody is underperforming on offense. Everybody is, and this is
classic deflection by AJ Brown. It's finger pointing, not that
he's wrong, not that he's wrong. And don't think this
isn't secretly actually aimed at Jalen Hurts, because when wide
receivers start giving statistical dissertations like AJ Brown, they're really
(28:20):
saying it ain't me, it's the bleep. But he bleep
bleep bleep bleep quarterback, that's who. Blame him. He's a man,
he can take it. Blame him. So Jalen Hurts out
there catching strays. This is the day after Jalen Hurts
came out and said, oh I gotta be better and
all that stuff. And just like that, another storm front
(28:42):
moves across the famous men Franklin Bridge. There the Delaware River,
the daily soap opera rolls on and on and on,
and the Philadelphia chaos properly served and it's just great.
And the Eagles play the Cowboys this weekend in Dallas.
Lane Johnson not playing actually in Arlington, but Lane Johnson's
(29:05):
not playing in that game. And if you look at
the numbers with Lane Johnson and without Lane Johnson, the
Eagles have, you say, it's just an offensive lineman who
gives about offensive lineman. The Eagles apparently care about offensive lineman.
His performance has been key to what they have done. Now, meanwhile,
we go to Minnesota. Another story that's been bubbling up
this year. We had an NFL coach recently offer a withering,
(29:28):
withering assessment, good word, withering assessment of Viking quarterback J. J. McCarthy,
the Michigan man. Now, the coach did not give his name.
He sensed palpable levels of exasperation from the Minnesota pass catchers.
All of this because McCarthy was unable to do his job,
(29:51):
was not able to get them the ball. The neuroscientist J. J. McCarthy,
according to the coach behind a Paywalt the athletic said
the receivers are visually frustrated and they are open all
over the tape. I guess the guy's watching the All
twenty two. He talked about Jalen Naylor and Jordan Addison,
Justin Jefferson, TJ. Hockinson, all those guys getting open. And
(30:14):
the person that gave this comment said that that Viking
offense should be putting up numbers like the Cincinnati Bengals offense. However,
that's not happening, and all you hear the coach said,
the quote all you hear from Minnesota is about how
rosy and the great it is there. Everything's wonderful. Blah
blah blah blah blah. A right, So that is a
good jumping off point. Let us discuss the question vikings
(30:38):
wide receivers. According to this coach visually frustrated with quarterback
Jaye J. McCarthy, how believable is this? So we absolutely
buy this. On the Mallord scale of believability, the Malord
scale of believability, it goes one to five, one to five,
(30:58):
I am at a four. I'm at a four on
the mald scale of believability means I strongly believe bordering
on the gospel, bordering on the Gospel. So you do
not need que cards on this. You don't need que cards.
Just see what's going on. McCarthy, as we have talked
(31:18):
about in previous episodes of the show so far, has
been biblically bad bad, bad, bad, bad, bad bad bad,
so bad. He's literally choking on meat sauce at this point.
So Minnesota's playmakers are not just frustrated. The video is there.
The scale believability. There's clips they're not all AI that
(31:39):
show some of these receivers and the body language is
like they're being held hostage and they're blinking morse code,
trying to trying to facilitate some kind of change on
the sidelence. And he watched the film, watch the clips.
Jordan Addison waving his arms like he's directing air traffic
at the Minneapolis Airport, justin Jefferson. Generational talent, He got
(31:59):
the bad and he's giving off the energy justin Jefferson
as he's running around there like he wishes he were
flipping Juicy Lucy's at Matt's Barr the birthplace of the
Juicy Lucy there in Minnesota, instead of running go roots
or routes and then never getting the ball, just doing
cardio out there running around. You got TJ. Hawkinson, the
(32:22):
man who's staring at the sky even when he's in
a dome, waiting for a meteor to come down and
put him out of his misery. This nameless coach. We
don't know who this is. He did use coach speak though,
what was that? The quarterback stinks and everyone knows it
except the public relations department. Now that should be the
(32:44):
Cincinnati office. That was the line that the guy used
three legitimate weapons, three big time weapons, explosive potential. Instead,
it's like they're running in snow shoes, is what they're
doing here. Good luck. The body language again says it all.
Receivers are not frustrated, to quote the late great Brian Wheeler.
They are agitated, alarmed, and acrimonious is what they are.
(33:06):
Minnesota can spin this all they want, talk about progress,
potential and patience, the three piece. The receivers, though, are
telling you the truth with the body language, the eye movement,
all that stuff, and right now they are ska re
ming is what they're doing. They are. It's not great,
(33:28):
all right? Final point, we go to the great Pacific Northwest,
where legends like JJ in Renton and the no strit
Deenas and Crying Craig and so many great fans of
the show have supported what we do there in Seattle
and done a great job. So I provide you some
witty Seahawk commentary, and that is about Sam Darnold, the
(33:52):
Seahawks quarterback Sam Darnold, who says that he now he
understands after that clunker against the Rams, he understands that
he and his team have to be better at protecting
the ball. Ball security and this after a four week stretch.
The Seattle football team has turned the ball over twelve
(34:13):
times now last four games, twelve turnovers, and if my
math is correct, the Seahawks lead the NFL. They are
number one in in giveaways. They've had twenty giveaways this year,
twelve in the last four weeks, which begs the question
where are you at? Where are you at on Sam
(34:36):
Donald urging the Seahawks to protect the ball better? Where
are you at on that? So this is the Sam
Donald paradox is what it is where ball security goes
to die. It's like the Bermuda triangle. Donald telling his
teammates to protect the football is akin to an arsonist
(34:59):
telling the FI department, lecturing them on how to do
their job. The Seahawks don't have a turnover issue. They don't.
They have a Sam Donald issue is what they have
Using Malormath, Seattle has twenty total turnovers. Donald, you want
to take a guess how many Donald is responsible for? Well,
(35:19):
you know he had four interceptions in the last game,
and how many turnovers do you think Donald is responsible for?
The answer, seventy percent of them. Seventy percent. Fourteen of
the twenty turnovers are at the hands of that wicked
bad Sam Donald. But he's going to be okay, everything's fine,
(35:42):
Everything's okay. Yeah, okay, Well there you go. Ten interceptions,
four fumbles, seventy percent of the problem. And when Sam
Donald says we've got to protect the football, I have
to be better. Okay, what does that mean. I mean,
I'm going to keep doing what I've always done. However,
(36:04):
I'm going to say the right things into this microphone.
So the quotes look really good on State Provdanews service,
the Seahawks dot Com. Nobody, no buddy, no buddy in
the Seattle Seahawks front office can complain, cannot do it.
(36:24):
It would be like the waiter at Chuck E Cheese
complaining there's too many damn kids here. There's too many
kids in the arcade. All they watched the pizza. It's
a big pan in the ass. No, will you work
at Chuck E Cheese. That's what happens. If you're signing
Sam Darnold and he turns the ball over and kills
(36:45):
your season. You signed up for that. I didn't sign
up for that you signed up for that Sam Darnald
is telling Seattle to protect the ball better. It's kind
of like a burglar leaving sticky notes reminding people to
lie their doors until further notice. Seattle's living in the
(37:05):
haunted House of Sam Darld And every Sunday and sometimes
on Thursday, and occasionally on Monday, something goes bumpity bump
in the night and boom and the pigskin ends up
in the other team's hands. Time and time and time again.
Speaker 2 (37:29):
Be sure to catch live editions of the Ben Mallor
Show weekdays at two am Eastern eleven pm Pacific.
Speaker 1 (37:35):
Here we all smaller. How about that? To the third degree?
This is one big vent gets grilled coolly so Man.
Speaker 7 (37:46):
The other day we talked about Matthew Stafford being the
favorite for MVP, but now it seems that the Rams
are also the betting favorite to win the Super Bowl.
Speaker 4 (37:54):
Are you that confident, Ben.
Speaker 1 (37:57):
No, it's wide open. It's the Rams have a very
good team. They have a good shot of getting through
the Super Bowl. But it's not like they're a lock.
There's three or four teams in the AFC and the
NFC that you can go with. The Rams If the
defense continues to play the way they're playing, there's no
reason they cannot reach the Super Bowl. Philadelphia is beatable
(38:18):
without They just beat Seattle. They got no chance with
Sam Darnold Green Bay. There's no invincible team. You look
at the top teams in the NFC, there's no one's
like invincible.
Speaker 7 (38:26):
Right next, Joe Flacco spoke with the media on Wednesday
and said that he would like a starting opportunity in
twenty twenty six.
Speaker 4 (38:32):
Do you think someone will give it to him?
Speaker 1 (38:34):
Yes. What he needs to do is go down to
Best Buy and buy Madden Football twenty seven when it
comes out, and he will be able to play as
QB one on that game. I think he'll be able
to do very well. Now, of course he'll start. If
he wants to keep playing, he'll be picked up by
somebody coop as a backup, high end, backup and bad team.
He'll get a chance to start. He's not gonna be
(38:55):
a QB one next.
Speaker 7 (38:56):
With Nico Harrison gone, Mark Cuban is back in the
decision making mix with the MAVs. How long do you
think it'll take him to undo the damage.
Speaker 1 (39:03):
Now, that is just a pr move he's not making
any decisions. He just has a seat at the table,
but he's not actually deciding. He doesn't have final edit
on that. That's a bull crap story. I do like that.
Nico Harrison blame Mark Cuban for uh the Jalen Brunson movie.
That was cool. How do we do?
Speaker 7 (39:18):
We do?
Speaker 1 (39:19):
What we do? What we passed? I passed, I passed.
I passed. I passed, I passed, I passed.
