Speaker 2 (00:24):
This is the best of the Ben Mahler Show on
Fox Sports Radio.
Speaker 1 (00:32):
And we begin anew this hour, and it's all about
the NFL in Cana City. It's seemingly a birthright for
the Chiefs to end up in the AFC Championship Game
at least, if not the Super Bowl.
Speaker 3 (00:47):
Well, in order to do that.
Speaker 1 (00:49):
You have to make the playoffs, and that appears to
be all but done at this point. While not mathematically eliminated,
realistically eliminated. We go to Arrowhead where we'll Anderson, the
headline linebacker leading the NFL's top ranked defense. They Houston
Texans taking on Patrick Mahomey and the Chiefs. It was
(01:12):
an island game. Oh the island lighte for me, the
island life for me. Chris Collinsworth and Mike Tariko had
to call on in me.
Speaker 4 (01:20):
Now.
Speaker 1 (01:20):
I don't know if you watched it or not, perhaps not,
but he was a turnover Poloosa as Houston intercepted Mahomes
not once, not twice, but three times and stopped Kansas
City on not one, but two fourth down tries in
the second half late in the game, and they win
(01:41):
twenty to ten. They being the team from Texas, they
go to Arrowhead Stadium and.
Speaker 3 (01:48):
There you go, there you go.
Speaker 1 (01:49):
They go to Aerohead Stadium and they end up winning
the game on the road, a game that has major
AFC playoff implications.
Speaker 3 (01:58):
Nick go, he's pretty good. I hear, I hear, he's
pretty good.
Speaker 1 (02:03):
And he got it done there and had four catches
one hundred and twenty one yards as the Texans get
their eight.
Speaker 3 (02:09):
Win of the year, the eight and five, and they win.
Speaker 5 (02:11):
Their fifth straight overall, and they are burn dogging the
Jacksonville Juguars, who blew out the free falling Indianapolis Colts.
Speaker 3 (02:23):
They're about done there.
Speaker 1 (02:24):
It's a nice story for a few weeks, but the
Daniel Jones down for the county. Even if you stayed healthy,
they still would have been out. So the AFC South,
you got Jacksonville and Houston, but we're talking about Houston here.
But the better story is in the losing locker room,
and so that is where we're going to go. The Chiefs,
who have been to the Super Bowl three straight years,
are now under five hundred six and seven is the record,
(02:49):
and they need.
Speaker 3 (02:50):
A whole lot of health.
Speaker 1 (02:52):
They need a whole gaggle, a whole gaggle of Guardian
angels if they're gonna make this happen here and get
in the plus, there would have to be some serious
manipulation for then, beginning as one of the wildcard teams,
you can forget about winning the division that is ov
er Kansas City if you believe the nerds. The nerds
(03:12):
will tell you that they only have a sixteen percent
chance to make the postseason, according to one of the
many playoff simulators making the rounds.
Speaker 3 (03:22):
On this overnight.
Speaker 1 (03:23):
Not only that, but the Chiefs, even if they win
the four games they've got upcoming here, they would still
only have about a fifty to fifty shot a little
over that fifty two percent to make it to the postseason,
meaning that not only they must win every game, but
they also need a couple of teams to lose multiple times.
(03:45):
You look at the tie breakers Jacksonville and Houston, Well,
the Chiefs lost to both those teams, so.
Speaker 3 (03:53):
One of them is gonna have to lose a couple
of times. You know.
Speaker 1 (03:56):
If they're in neck and neck for the wildcard spot,
that's assuming the Chiefs and win four more games.
Speaker 3 (04:01):
So let us discuss that is a.
Speaker 1 (04:03):
Good jumping off point. Let's start with the quote of
the week in the NFL from Andy Reid. Andy Reid
had said this week leading into the game on Sunday night,
he said the Chiefs were going to try to tickle
the Texans tonsils on every play.
Speaker 3 (04:17):
How did that go?
Speaker 1 (04:20):
So I've got auto club, juggling, trope, and bonfire, and
we will combine all of these things together and we
are going to make a nice vacation.
Speaker 3 (04:36):
Which is what the Chiefs will be able to do
if they will make the playoffs. They go to a nice, long, hot,
niggity dog vacation.
Speaker 1 (04:41):
Art So, hey, let's carve the turkey, and boy, the
Chiefs were a turkey, we'll carve with a butter knife.
Because Andy Reid, that quote, what a great quote, and.
Speaker 3 (04:51):
Mois it good?
Speaker 1 (04:52):
And we're going to tickle the tonsils on every play.
Of course, then they had to play the game. And
what exactly happened there, Well, Kansas City got a full
blown prostate exam administered by the Houston Defense.
Speaker 3 (05:06):
So it did not go quite the way they were
hoping for.
Speaker 1 (05:09):
No amnesia, no warning, just a nice prostate exam, just
bend over Fellas. This once magical Mahomes, magic, the chiefs
and all that. Right now at this point they need
to call the auto club and get a tow truck
over there, because I think the tow trucks in the
parking lot idling over there because the Geloppie has a
(05:31):
run out of gas and there's some problems with the engine.
Here they're not just stuck in the mud, they are
buried like a mini van and.
Speaker 3 (05:39):
A mud slide. At this particular point here you got.
Speaker 1 (05:42):
Mahomes, who's mister Hall of Famer and all that, and
his podcast buddy Travis Kelce the bearded Babe for Taylor Swift.
There the security blanket, well, I think had one catch
in this game.
Speaker 3 (05:57):
And so the line is that iron sharpman's iron.
Speaker 1 (06:01):
That's you know, you go against the top defense, you
test yourself where you are and in this case iron
turned into aluminum foil getting shredded in a kitchen blender.
Speaker 3 (06:12):
As you are what your.
Speaker 1 (06:14):
Record says you are. And right now the Chiefs are
under five hundred. That is the outfit they are. They're
under five hundred, and it looks on a seemingly we
weekly basis here you watch them play that they're running
a malfunctioning do hickey. The do hickey is malfunctioning about
(06:34):
on this game it was over eighty percent of the times,
eighty three percent of the time. Now, how did I
get to the number eighty three percent? That the Chiefs
are miles apart from where they need to be? So
eighty three percent of the time they had twelve drives
Kansas City did. Four of the drives ended up in punts,
three of them ended up in interceptions, and two of
them turnover on downs slim pickens and a partridge in
(06:57):
a pear tree of incompetence.
Speaker 3 (06:59):
And Kansas City also went four to fourteen. I'm third down.
I'm told that's not good.
Speaker 1 (07:04):
And you had my favorite, the receivers playing volleyball with
Mahomes passes there and suddenly the playoff odds for Kansas
City looked like a deflated balloon at a kid's birthday
party at all sad wheezing. No lyft done of that stuff.
To Again, this was not as Andy Reid described it.
(07:25):
It was not tonsil tickling that took place. This was
the Texans domination and the turnovers of the defense leading
to all the points the Texans scored in the second half.
So it's not like the Texans did much of anything
against the Chiefs defense, but the mistakes by Kansas City
(07:46):
setting off the Texans for some points there. Now turning
the page to the quarterback room, and the question on
this one is what can be said about Patrick Mahomes
and his struggles for the Chiefs in this in this game.
And so this was a full on migraine to the
(08:07):
tenth degree. There is a full on migraine there for Mahomes,
and somebody needs to go down to the pharmacy, go
down to Walgreens, get some pharmacy grade ibuprofen, because the
standard is the standard is Mike Tomlin says, they're in Pittsburgh,
but the standard is the standard in general. And Mahomes
belly wopped and flopped right under it and don't blame
(08:30):
the makeship offensive line. That was a big part of
this game coming in signing guys off the street. They
were getting guys off Craig's list and offer up, Hey,
how would you like to play offensive line for the
chief Sure, I guess I'll play offensive line for the Chiefs.
How much does it pay? What are the benefits? How
many hours a day do I have to work? All
that stuff? Mahomes is only sacked twice. Now he was
pressured a bunch, but he was only sacked twice. And
this was a pass catcher mutiny. A pass catcher mutiny
(08:56):
is what happened in this particular game. It just was
Kansas City's receivers formed a VIP club, as in, very
ineffective people, a very ineffective people at catching the ball.
They had six drop passes in this game. And that's
an NFL receiving court. Of course, when you drop six passes,
(09:18):
it's not really an NFL receiving court. That's a juggling
troop that without the hand one coordination. I mean, Mike go,
we could put inca terror blind Scott Stevie, meatballs, blind Emmett,
the Great Blind Army of the Malla and Militia, and
they could juggle better than the receivers in terms of
catching the ball. Rashie Rice had a fourth and four
(09:41):
on a fourth down play and the pass was right there,
and then what do you do? That was a chef's kiss,
chef's kiss of incompetence. Mahomes stepped off, delivered to strike
and then Rice treats it like a hot potato. What
are you doing?
Speaker 3 (10:00):
So?
Speaker 1 (10:00):
Second straight week he coughed off a late throw out.
Remember the game against Dallas. And if only he caught
passes the way he drives recklessly through Dallas, they'd be
onto something. And then you've got Travis Kelce, mister swift,
the podcast guy who decided to play like a podcaster
(10:21):
as he bobbled one up in the air like he
was trying out for the Olympic.
Speaker 3 (10:24):
Beach volleyball team. And that was picked off, and that
was that.
Speaker 1 (10:28):
Here's Andy Reid, big Red, Big Red, what do you
have to say for all those passes that were battered
in the air everywhere?
Speaker 6 (10:34):
Oh listen, these are great players, So I mean, we
gotta make sure we catch the ball. They know that,
and they're trying a flag effort there all went through
their hands, and that happens. You know, those guys are
great players.
Speaker 1 (10:50):
Okay, well they weren't on this night. Great players, so
that's wonderful. They have good resumes and good pro football
reference pages. But it didn't help you in this game.
And as the line of thinking goes.
Speaker 3 (11:01):
All that matters is what you do in the moment.
Speaker 1 (11:03):
Right, they flipped the script and so the Texans are
feeling pretty good about themselves into the stratosphere. So Mahomes
ends up with one of the worst games of his
career since he established himself as the greatest quarterback of
this generation. He had nineteen incomplete passes nineteen of them
fourteen of thirty three nineteen incomplete passes, no touchdowns, and
(11:26):
three interceptions, a passer rating below twenty, which means indeed,
if the Chiefs had just stabbed the ball and hiked
and thrown in the ground, he would have had a
higher passer rating. Now that's not the face of the dynasty.
It was not in this game. That's a quarterback stuck
in football traffic and you're just right there on the
world's longest one lane road, and it's a season long frustration.
(11:50):
It's just one little thing here and then a thing
of a jig over there, and the what you McCall,
it doesn't work, and then you find yourself here a
bunch of self inflicted wounds everywhere. And that's how you
end up going from a AFC championship team to out
of the playoffs.
Speaker 3 (12:09):
Just like that.
Speaker 1 (12:10):
Now, last word, a lot of people trying to climb
on to the bandwagon for the Houston Texans, trying to
get a little you know, get a seat there, and
there's no seats left. So it's like those trains in
is it India where they you know, the big train
is like once a year they jump on top.
Speaker 3 (12:26):
Of the train. It's like an amazing thing. Have you
ever seen that before? I think it's in India? But CJ.
Speaker 1 (12:32):
Stroud two hundred and three yards and a touchdown, And
the question here does this win.
Speaker 3 (12:40):
At Arrowhead Stadium?
Speaker 1 (12:42):
Does it lessen the pressure, the immense pressure on the
Texans quarterback CJ.
Speaker 3 (12:48):
Stroud? Remember the Texans.
Speaker 1 (12:50):
Had done fine when he was out, In fact, they
started finding their mojo with Davis Mills the backup. So
does this win at Arrowhead help things out for CJ?
Sh I would say absolutely not if anything. If you
saw the game, it throws another log on the bonfire.
(13:10):
It throws another log on the bonfire. That makes me
what Kansas City practically hand delivered five turnovers, three picks,
two turnovers on downs, a couple of them deep deep
in their own territory. It's kind of like somebody dropping
their wallet at your feet with a big water cash
(13:31):
sticking out and they walk away. And then Stroud still
needed a search party to close the deal in the
second half, and he had a front row seat CJ.
Stroud on the vomit comet. He was right there on
the vomit comet, and not on the same street, not
the same stride of the street with his receivers.
Speaker 3 (13:51):
In the second half, a road win at Arrowhead, CJ.
Speaker 1 (13:55):
Stroud attempted twelve passes, completed three of them for thirty
two yards in the second and won a game on
the road, won a game on the road, took the
checkered flag, got it done on the road. Three passes
he completed in the second half, And it looks like
the passer ready thirty nine point five is like the
(14:16):
speed limit.
Speaker 3 (14:17):
In the school zone.
Speaker 1 (14:19):
And that's not exactly taking things to the next level
and cranking it up a couple of notches.
Speaker 3 (14:24):
Big boy quarterbacking that is.
Speaker 1 (14:26):
Training wheels stuff. And don't overlook the fact that all
ten points scored by Houston was courtesy of the bloopers
of the Chiefs. They're bloopers there set them up in
the second half. And you look, the Texas were not
driving the bus. Kansas City was blindly stumbling into traffic.
(14:50):
And the narrative doesn't change because you survived. The Chiefs
melt down there on offense and you got a good
defense and Stroud that's the point.
Speaker 3 (15:00):
Though he didn't quiet any of the noise. He did.
He just turned the.
Speaker 1 (15:04):
Volume up and it went from jackhammer volume to leaf
blower volume, and you're just the pressure is still at
full blast because the Texans remain a lopsided team. They're
a top heavy team, They've got an elite defense, and
that offense is just not very good. And you know
down the line the postseason, you're gonna have these issues
(15:27):
where unless the defense gets two or three turnovers and
the other team's just completely incompetent, you're not gonna get
much of.
Speaker 3 (15:33):
Anything out of your quarterback.
Speaker 1 (15:36):
And that's just the way is You're gonna have to
find points in the nook and crannies of your offense
because there's just not a lot there, and that's just
the reality of the situation.

Speaker 1 (16:24):
Away, and we begin with the Monday night football game.
Speaker 3 (16:31):
And a memorable game. Not a great game, well, I
mean if you like turnovers. It was close. The game
went to overtime in the Hood and Inglewood and up
to no good.
Speaker 1 (16:40):
The Birds, the reigning champions of the NFL and not
playing like it right now. No, they're not the bright
lights of Monday night football. The La Power Company was
hosting the team from Philadelphia and Joe back Troy Aikman
were They had the call on a bced so I
(17:04):
don't saw a game or not if we watching, I
was at the game for a good chunk of it.
Had to leave early to get here. It's my duty
to the American people to come in here do sports talk.
So I couldn't be stuck in traffic. But Cameron Dicker,
the kicker, had to go ahead fifty four yard field goal.
He ended up kicking five field goals in the game.
(17:26):
And Tony Jefferson, who well, he intercepted on a tip
pass Jalen Hurts at the one yard line and that
lifted the Chargers to a twenty two to nineteen victory
over the free falling Philadelphia Eagle. What a bunch of
chumps the Eagles are, And it was somewhat enjoyable to
(17:49):
see the very braggadosius Eagle fan base who looked a
little numb the way that Jalen Hurts was playing in
this particular game. Now, the better story is in the
losing locker room, and so that is where we're going
to go. Jalen Hurts had to be kind a clunker,
a clunker for the Ages for Jalen Hurts, who threw
(18:10):
not one, not two, not three, but four four interceptions
and the Eagles committed five turnovers in the game. Jalen
Hurt said the two for one. We'll get to that
coming up in a minute. And here is the man
of the hour. Thought's start with Jalen Hurts here on
(18:30):
the overtime, the Eagles had gotten into field goal range.
There was a penalty on the Chargers on a fourth
down play that extended the drive for Philadelphia, which set
up the interception and the final blow, the final body blow,
body blow. Here is Jalen Hurts on what a night.
Four interceptions. Let's talk about that last one.
Speaker 9 (18:51):
I knew it was going to be a tight window drow.
I'd have to watch the film to see it from
the ays film's point of view. Ultimately, it's a play
that I didn't make. You got to handle the ball.
Speaker 3 (19:07):
That's a play that.
Speaker 9 (19:08):
We've made a million times in that scenario versus a
cloud corner, and I didn't make that play this time around.
Speaker 1 (19:17):
Yes, you did not make that play. So the reigning
Super Bowl champions lose their season worst third in a row.
They are just three games above five hundred. Now, the
good news is they're in the right division. The Giants
aren't trying, the Commanders blow, and the Cowboys suck, so
they're in a good division. There's no one else who's
even competing with them, so they've got that.
Speaker 3 (19:39):
Going in Philadelphia.
Speaker 1 (19:40):
However, it doesn't change the fact that Eagles are a
total fraud in terms of being a Super Bowl content.
Speaker 3 (19:46):
Does anyone disagree with that?
Speaker 1 (19:47):
Like, at this point we do the show today, we
have to worry about the show right now, we do
the overnight show at this moment. Is there a bigger
pretender than the Philadelphia Eagles in terms of actually winning
anything the way they.
Speaker 3 (19:59):
Are right now? God?
Speaker 1 (20:00):
All right, but let's focus in and it's good jumping
off put Let's focus in on the quarterback though, and
let's discuss the question, what is Jalen Hurts play? What
is the smell around Jalen Hurts like? Just break it
down like that, right, what's Jalen Hurts play smell like?
Speaker 3 (20:17):
For the Eagles? So my thoughts on this, I've.
Speaker 1 (20:20):
Got John Madden gator and spicy margarita, and we will
combine all of these things together and we are going
to put the biscuit in the basket. So a, the
smell surrounding Jalen Hurts is a pungent smell.
Speaker 3 (20:39):
It's punging it up. It's so strong. It's actually peeling
the paint at the Link in Philadelphia. It's that bad.
The paint's peeling down. It smells so bad.
Speaker 1 (20:48):
And this was a masterpiece of malfunction. And I'm happy
I got to see something I've never seen before that
we're not sure as happened before, and it happened on
a Monday night game here. But before we get to that,
when I say that Jalen Hurts went out there and
had a masterpiece of malfunction, it was a performance so
(21:12):
historically awful it deserves its own wing at the Louver
across the Atlantic there. It just deserves its own spot
in the museum. And forget Van goll and the da
Vini and all the greats, Jalen Hurts in this Monday
night game was Jackson Pollock. He was splattering turnovers in
(21:33):
the air every way right across the gridiron like a
man who was playing possessed by the spirit of abstract incompetence.
Speaker 3 (21:44):
That was Jalen Hurts in this game.
Speaker 1 (21:46):
And you saw the play in particular was interception, fumble,
recovery and then fumble on the same play. John Madden,
if he were still alive, the ghost of John Madden
would call that the turnover.
Speaker 3 (22:02):
Turducan is what that was. That was a turnover to ducan.
Speaker 1 (22:06):
You got the interception, you get the recovery, and then
you get the fumble. That's the Turducan of turnovers for
Jalen Hurts. Congratulations the rare double giveaway. The rare double
giveaway on one play. And the Nerds claim that their
data goes back to nineteen seventy Apparently nothing happened before
(22:28):
nineteen seventy eight. Everything after nineteen seventy eight. They have
no recorded history of anyone sucking that much on one
play like Jalen Hurts. And that's not quarterback play, mind you.
That's finger painting while on a dumbball ride at Disney World,
is what that was. Now Hertz, who has gone recently
(22:49):
from the afterglow of the Super Bowl MVP to the
LVP as in Lost Value Player, that's Jalen Hurts right now,
the VP, the lost value player, and he's strapped right
in that cockpit of the vomit comet, and he's on
a full Kma Kazi mission with that Philadelphia Eagles offense
(23:12):
right now. And this is not just a one night
stink bomb.
Speaker 3 (23:16):
As we know.
Speaker 1 (23:16):
We've been documenting here. We have a talk show to
do every day, and we come in here and the
Eagles are good for business because they won the Super Bowl.
Speaker 3 (23:25):
They're supposed to be good.
Speaker 1 (23:26):
And they're underachieving and so it's always fun to talk
about teams like this, and they are really living up
to the suck mantra in Philadelphia. So the last five games,
I mean, that's a good sample size.
Speaker 3 (23:39):
Is that fair? That's fair?
Speaker 1 (23:41):
You're shaking your yeah, that's fair. So last five games,
Jalen Hurts has a seventy two point three passer rating.
He's averaging six point four yards per pass, completing less
than sixty percent of his passes despite running a rudimentary
Eagles offense. And he's got five interceptions now and three fumbles.
(24:02):
And that's the way it's going for Jalen Hurts. And
so that's not really a slump. Mind you, that's a
five alarm football funk, is what that is for Jalen Hurts.
And remember in the NFL, there is no rest for
the wicked. So right back at it again for Jaialen Hurts,
although the competition does soften going forward. Now page two,
(24:25):
let's talk about the leadership vacuum in Philadelphia here, and
there's a there's a theme to the Eagles as they
continue to have their issues here and the question is
do you have any confidence as an outsider, do you
have any confidence that Nick Sirianni can stop the bleeding
of the birds? Do you have any confidence of that
(24:48):
that day you can get it done?
Speaker 3 (24:49):
There?
Speaker 1 (24:51):
So I'm gonna go nope on that. That's that's nope
for those of you who don't have to spell nope.
Zero confidence. And I don't know how anyone could have commence.
The Eagles had a similar free fall. I think it
was twenty twenty three. They never got out of it,
they never were able to stop it, and Sirianni was
(25:13):
the head coach of that team. The Eagles right now
are like the USS Gerald R.
Speaker 3 (25:19):
Ford.
Speaker 1 (25:20):
They are an aircraft carrier and they're very difficult to
turn around those aircraft carriers. It's like they're drifting sideways
in the Delaware River right now. And Nick Sirianni is
standing on deck on the aircraft carrier and he's waving
pom poms, and instead of grabbing the wheel and trying
to turn, he's on, we're fine. Oh we're good. I
(25:41):
love these guys. Ah, they're so good. Let's play rock
paper sis is what do you say? Okay, why not?
We'll play rock papers?
Speaker 3 (25:49):
Fine?
Speaker 1 (25:50):
So you don't turn around the aircraft carrier by saying
let's go right into the headset.
Speaker 3 (25:56):
That doesn't work.
Speaker 1 (25:57):
Here is Nick Sirianni on the for Interception game for
Jalen Hurs.
Speaker 3 (26:03):
Let's hear what Sirianni had to say on this.
Speaker 10 (26:06):
This game is the ultimate team game. So it's all
it's never you know, it's never just on one person. Ultimately,
he always has the ball in his hands, and I
know he'll he'll wear a lot of that and own
that and and I got to do a better job
of helping him in those scenarios. Again, it's always it's
never just on execution, right, It's it's always that we
(26:27):
look at ourselves as coaches first, and we help them
be in position to succeed and then execute right. So
obviously never want to turn the ball over. We've been
pretty good at that, and tonight was a little uncharacteristic
of ourselves.
Speaker 1 (26:40):
So there's a couple of things here that are classic
deflection moves. Jalen hurts in the SoundBite we played, so
I gotta watch the tape. That's a classic. I'm not
answering the question. I'm gonna say, I'm gonna watch the tape.
You'll never ask me about it again, or when you
ask me about it again, I'm going to say, well,
we've moved on to the next game. And then the
it's never on one guy from Sirianni, when yeah, it
(27:04):
kind of is. That's why the quarterback gets paid ten
times with the other players get it's on him. So
you can say whatever you want. It's a team game
and all that. Well, the team games are lost by individuals,
and Sirianni is a show pony. He is a show pony.
He's a sideline cheerleader who thrives when the wind is
(27:25):
at his back, and when the wind changes and the
storm hits all of a sudden, the high tides and
the birds they start leaking oil and all of a sudden,
Syrianni does a costume change and he becomes a gator.
The inflator gator is Nick Sirianni. As he pumps air
into every minor issue, does not solve anything. And then
(27:48):
it becomes a full blown circus balloon. And that's the Eagles.
And it says, literally blocking the highway there, it's blocking
Broad Street there in Philadelphia.
Speaker 3 (27:59):
It's a mess.
Speaker 1 (28:00):
And so Jalen Hurts, who looked like a man whose
football soul.
Speaker 8 (28:05):
Had been mugged.
Speaker 1 (28:07):
He was numb as a bug. And just the whole
thing is like, what is going on here? Passes were
being tipped, they were just a little bit off, and
that's the difference between good and bad, success and failure.
And so you've got the AJ Brown situation where he
had a bunch of yards, but yet the underlying condition
(28:29):
is still alive. They're not singing from the same song sheet,
Jalen Hurts and AJ Brown. As you look at it,
the coughing is still there. As thirteen targets and AJ
Brown had six catches. There was a key drop in
the fourth quarter, down in the end zone in a
(28:49):
forty six percent catch rate, which doesn't appear to be
very good. It screams miscommunication for the Philadelphia Eagles, and
there's obviously a lot of frustration with a little dash,
just a little dash of diva sprinkles on top at
this point. So the schedule, if there is a positive,
if you want me to be Benny Brightside, the positive
(29:09):
here is the schedule is cotton candy like the Eagles.
Even though the Eagles are trash right now, they still
should win three of their final four games to close
the regular season. Is anyone want to push back on that?
Have you seen who they play? The Raiders? The Raiders
are up next in Philadelphia. The Raiders have already given up.
(29:32):
They're a bunch of quitters. They've got Geno Smith. That
tells you they're not trying to win. When you have
Geno Smith, you are trying not to win football games.
You're just trying to cover. And Pete did cover the spread.
Goodship by him. They do have to play the Bills,
that's in Buffalo. That'll be a loss. But then you
also have two games home and home with the Washington Commandos.
(29:53):
So they appear to quit or have quit the way
they played against the Minnesota Vikings.
Speaker 3 (29:58):
So that's what's up ahead.
Speaker 1 (30:00):
However, right now, the Eagles, they don't need cupcakes is
what they need. Competence is what they they need here.
And so even if you beat up on the Raiders
and the Commanders a couple of times, you're not battle
tested when you eventually play a better team. And so
Nick Sirianni's not exactly stopping them bleeding here, and if anything,
(30:21):
he's picking at the gab. Now what's going to be
interesting is this was the kind of game and as
we were going through it, there's some chatter in the
press box like that somebody's gonna get fired. Now I'm
not saying Sirianne's gonna get fired, but this is the
kind of a performance when you know and everyone's watching
your offense and people are questioning whether or not you
should have demoted the offensive coordinator. This is the kind
of game that gets Kevin Patulo sacrificed and whacked by
(30:47):
the Eagles. Like that's the kind of game where he
will either be demoted or just removed from the coaching room.
So stay tuned on that. Now. Last word on the
Charger side of things, show me your lightning bolt. Good
looking uniforms by the Chargers, right, They dressed for success.
They had that electric blue on on the Monday night.
(31:08):
But can Jim Harbaugh. Can Jim Harbaugh now exhale with
the Chargers getting the overtime win over the reigning champions
of the NFL. So the answer to this is no,
It is no on this one, and not even close.
I'm shaking my head now.
Speaker 3 (31:28):
No.
Speaker 1 (31:28):
Just for those of you who can watch on the YouTube,
we have Ben Mather Show on YouTube. We're actually streaming
the monologue.
Speaker 3 (31:34):
So I'm shaking my head. No, here's why I'm shaking
my head. No, all right. In fact, I'm shaking my head.
Speaker 1 (31:39):
I'm gonna shake my head so much i probably need
a chiropractor. No no, no, no, no, no, no no no, no, no, no, no,
like just like that. And here's why this was an
ugly duckling win. It is an ugly duckling win. The offense.
The defense was great, I say great, but the Eagles.
The Eagles had their own issu. But here's the deal.
(32:01):
The offensive display here, this was a capital you ugly
is what it was. You had, and you underline it,
you can highlight it however you want. To put a
spectacle around it, and you put on a billboard if
you want, on the four ROH five. Take one of
those ambulance chasing lawyer billboards off the four H five
and put that up there. But depending on dicker, the kicker,
(32:25):
the idiot kicker for five field goals. And this is
we always say the same thing with the Cowboys. It's
a blessing and a curse to have a great kicker.
Cowboys and Chargers have great kickers. It's a blessing and
a curse because you depend on the kicker and you
don't win big games with field goals.
Speaker 3 (32:40):
You don't. This a regular season game, you won it. Congratulations.
Speaker 1 (32:44):
However, normally, when you get five turnovers, am I not
wrong in saying you should win that game by thirty points?
If you get five turnovers, you're at home, You put
your feet up, you grab a spicy margarita, and you
enjoyed garbage time, and you play as on the sidelines.
Speaker 3 (33:01):
That was not what happened here. They were not on
some kind of Royal Caribbean cruise.
Speaker 1 (33:05):
They were not not the bolt the Chargers who had
turned Jalen Hurts, and Jalen was very generous. It's the
season of giving, and Jalen Hurts his generosity was generosity
machine here for the Philadelphia Eagles.
Speaker 3 (33:19):
And they managed to get.
Speaker 1 (33:20):
If my math is correct, I believe six points off
five turnovers by the Eagles. They only monetized those into
six points. Two field goals. That's all they got off
five turnovers. Now they did get the technically the last
one they sealed the game because that ended the game,
the final interception, But the other four they only got
(33:41):
six points out of it, a couple of field goals.
Speaker 3 (33:44):
And this was the type of game that you have
to go back in time. This was a.
Speaker 1 (33:52):
Super duper football follies VHS tape, the kind your uncle
got at the gas station in like ninety three is
what this was. And Justin Herbert, he's playing hurt.
Speaker 3 (34:07):
They didn't touch.
Speaker 1 (34:07):
They didn't talk about that at all on the broadcast,
didn't they No, Justin Herbert, who looked like he was
trying to throw a piano on every drop back. Now
the Eagles got to him a fair amount. And this
is the same thing I say all the time. Just
you're gonna repeat yourself again, I know, yeah, say it
(34:28):
about CJ. Stroud Gino Smith. I'm gonna say it about
Justin Herbert. Get rid of the damn ball, okay, rather
a tat tat, get rid of the ball, dummy, And
Justin Herbert kept holding onto the ball, holding on the ball,
holding on the ball.
Speaker 3 (34:47):
What are you doing? Just get rid of it and
throw it away, my god.
Speaker 1 (34:51):
And he had two fumbles lost, one of them an
interception under fifty percent. He's the Golden child. Every broadcaster
licks this, guys toes Justin Herbert, I don't see it.
He was holding on the ball like was a family heirloom. Dude,
It's just a duke. Get rid of the duke. The
Chargers had only twohundred seventy five yards of offense in
(35:14):
this game. They had sixteen first downs, two of those
via penalty by the Philadelphia Eagles. So you look ahead
now that you check the schedule, they play at Kansas City.
Kansas City's a lightweight this year, so you play at Arrowhead,
then you've got at Dallas, the Texans.
Speaker 3 (35:32):
In La or in Inglewood, and then at Denver.
Speaker 1 (35:35):
That is what's left four games left in the regular
season for the Chargers at this point. So that's not
a stretch round. That's a rocky road. Arrowhead not easy
to play at. Dallas has some good offense, although they're
not a complete team.
Speaker 3 (35:49):
And so that's that's where we are.
Speaker 1 (35:51):
That's rocky road for Jim Harbaugh, and so you can't
excel plus hardbass. He's not like that. He doesn't exhale
about anything. He's always got to stick up his talks,
doesn't he That's what he looks like. It's one of
those people and he can barely inhale.

Speaker 2 (00:24):
This is the best of the Ben Mahler Show on
Fox Sports Radio.
Speaker 1 (00:32):
And we begin anew this hour, and it's all about
the NFL in Cana City. It's seemingly a birthright for
the Chiefs to end up in the AFC Championship Game
at least, if not the Super Bowl.
Speaker 3 (00:47):
Well, in order to do that.
Speaker 1 (00:49):
You have to make the playoffs, and that appears to
be all but done at this point. While not mathematically eliminated,
realistically eliminated. We go to Arrowhead where we'll Anderson, the
headline linebacker leading the NFL's top ranked defense. They Houston
Texans taking on Patrick Mahomey and the Chiefs. It was
(01:12):
an island game. Oh the island lighte for me, the
island life for me. Chris Collinsworth and Mike Tariko had
to call on in me.
Speaker 4 (01:20):
Now.
Speaker 1 (01:20):
I don't know if you watched it or not, perhaps not,
but he was a turnover Poloosa as Houston intercepted Mahomes
not once, not twice, but three times and stopped Kansas
City on not one, but two fourth down tries in
the second half late in the game, and they win
(01:41):
twenty to ten. They being the team from Texas, they
go to Arrowhead Stadium and.
Speaker 3 (01:48):
There you go, there you go.
Speaker 1 (01:49):
They go to Aerohead Stadium and they end up winning
the game on the road, a game that has major
AFC playoff implications.
Speaker 3 (01:58):
Nick go, he's pretty good. I hear, I hear, he's
pretty good.
Speaker 1 (02:03):
And he got it done there and had four catches
one hundred and twenty one yards as the Texans get
their eight.
Speaker 3 (02:09):
Win of the year, the eight and five, and they win.
Speaker 5 (02:11):
Their fifth straight overall, and they are burn dogging the
Jacksonville Juguars, who blew out the free falling Indianapolis Colts.
Speaker 3 (02:23):
They're about done there.
Speaker 1 (02:24):
It's a nice story for a few weeks, but the
Daniel Jones down for the county. Even if you stayed healthy,
they still would have been out. So the AFC South,
you got Jacksonville and Houston, but we're talking about Houston here.
But the better story is in the losing locker room,
and so that is where we're going to go. The Chiefs,
who have been to the Super Bowl three straight years,
are now under five hundred six and seven is the record,
(02:49):
and they need.
Speaker 3 (02:50):
A whole lot of health.
Speaker 1 (02:52):
They need a whole gaggle, a whole gaggle of Guardian
angels if they're gonna make this happen here and get
in the plus, there would have to be some serious
manipulation for then, beginning as one of the wildcard teams,
you can forget about winning the division that is ov
er Kansas City if you believe the nerds. The nerds
(03:12):
will tell you that they only have a sixteen percent
chance to make the postseason, according to one of the
many playoff simulators making the rounds.
Speaker 3 (03:22):
On this overnight.
Speaker 1 (03:23):
Not only that, but the Chiefs, even if they win
the four games they've got upcoming here, they would still
only have about a fifty to fifty shot a little
over that fifty two percent to make it to the postseason,
meaning that not only they must win every game, but
they also need a couple of teams to lose multiple times.
(03:45):
You look at the tie breakers Jacksonville and Houston, Well,
the Chiefs lost to both those teams, so.
Speaker 3 (03:53):
One of them is gonna have to lose a couple
of times. You know.
Speaker 1 (03:56):
If they're in neck and neck for the wildcard spot,
that's assuming the Chiefs and win four more games.
Speaker 3 (04:01):
So let us discuss that is a.
Speaker 1 (04:03):
Good jumping off point. Let's start with the quote of
the week in the NFL from Andy Reid. Andy Reid
had said this week leading into the game on Sunday night,
he said the Chiefs were going to try to tickle
the Texans tonsils on every play.
Speaker 3 (04:17):
How did that go?
Speaker 1 (04:20):
So I've got auto club, juggling, trope, and bonfire, and
we will combine all of these things together and we
are going to make a nice vacation.
Speaker 3 (04:36):
Which is what the Chiefs will be able to do
if they will make the playoffs. They go to a nice, long, hot,
niggity dog vacation.
Speaker 1 (04:41):
Art So, hey, let's carve the turkey, and boy, the
Chiefs were a turkey, we'll carve with a butter knife.
Because Andy Reid, that quote, what a great quote, and.
Speaker 3 (04:51):
Mois it good?
Speaker 1 (04:52):
And we're going to tickle the tonsils on every play.
Of course, then they had to play the game. And
what exactly happened there, Well, Kansas City got a full
blown prostate exam administered by the Houston Defense.
Speaker 3 (05:06):
So it did not go quite the way they were
hoping for.
Speaker 1 (05:09):
No amnesia, no warning, just a nice prostate exam, just
bend over Fellas. This once magical Mahomes, magic, the chiefs
and all that. Right now at this point they need
to call the auto club and get a tow truck
over there, because I think the tow trucks in the
parking lot idling over there because the Geloppie has a
(05:31):
run out of gas and there's some problems with the engine.
Here they're not just stuck in the mud, they are
buried like a mini van and.
Speaker 3 (05:39):
A mud slide. At this particular point here you got.
Speaker 1 (05:42):
Mahomes, who's mister Hall of Famer and all that, and
his podcast buddy Travis Kelce the bearded Babe for Taylor Swift.
There the security blanket, well, I think had one catch
in this game.
Speaker 3 (05:57):
And so the line is that iron sharpman's iron.
Speaker 1 (06:01):
That's you know, you go against the top defense, you
test yourself where you are and in this case iron
turned into aluminum foil getting shredded in a kitchen blender.
Speaker 3 (06:12):
As you are what your.
Speaker 1 (06:14):
Record says you are. And right now the Chiefs are
under five hundred. That is the outfit they are. They're
under five hundred, and it looks on a seemingly we
weekly basis here you watch them play that they're running
a malfunctioning do hickey. The do hickey is malfunctioning about
(06:34):
on this game it was over eighty percent of the times,
eighty three percent of the time. Now, how did I
get to the number eighty three percent? That the Chiefs
are miles apart from where they need to be? So
eighty three percent of the time they had twelve drives
Kansas City did. Four of the drives ended up in punts,
three of them ended up in interceptions, and two of
them turnover on downs slim pickens and a partridge in
(06:57):
a pear tree of incompetence.
Speaker 3 (06:59):
And Kansas City also went four to fourteen. I'm third down.
I'm told that's not good.
Speaker 1 (07:04):
And you had my favorite, the receivers playing volleyball with
Mahomes passes there and suddenly the playoff odds for Kansas
City looked like a deflated balloon at a kid's birthday
party at all sad wheezing. No lyft done of that stuff.
To Again, this was not as Andy Reid described it.
(07:25):
It was not tonsil tickling that took place. This was
the Texans domination and the turnovers of the defense leading
to all the points the Texans scored in the second half.
So it's not like the Texans did much of anything
against the Chiefs defense, but the mistakes by Kansas City
(07:46):
setting off the Texans for some points there. Now turning
the page to the quarterback room, and the question on
this one is what can be said about Patrick Mahomes
and his struggles for the Chiefs in this in this game.
And so this was a full on migraine to the
(08:07):
tenth degree. There is a full on migraine there for Mahomes,
and somebody needs to go down to the pharmacy, go
down to Walgreens, get some pharmacy grade ibuprofen, because the
standard is the standard is Mike Tomlin says, they're in Pittsburgh,
but the standard is the standard in general. And Mahomes
belly wopped and flopped right under it and don't blame
(08:30):
the makeship offensive line. That was a big part of
this game coming in signing guys off the street. They
were getting guys off Craig's list and offer up, Hey,
how would you like to play offensive line for the
chief Sure, I guess I'll play offensive line for the Chiefs.
How much does it pay? What are the benefits? How
many hours a day do I have to work? All
that stuff? Mahomes is only sacked twice. Now he was
pressured a bunch, but he was only sacked twice. And
this was a pass catcher mutiny. A pass catcher mutiny
(08:56):
is what happened in this particular game. It just was
Kansas City's receivers formed a VIP club, as in, very
ineffective people, a very ineffective people at catching the ball.
They had six drop passes in this game. And that's
an NFL receiving court. Of course, when you drop six passes,
(09:18):
it's not really an NFL receiving court. That's a juggling
troop that without the hand one coordination. I mean, Mike go,
we could put inca terror blind Scott Stevie, meatballs, blind Emmett,
the Great Blind Army of the Malla and Militia, and
they could juggle better than the receivers in terms of
catching the ball. Rashie Rice had a fourth and four
(09:41):
on a fourth down play and the pass was right there,
and then what do you do? That was a chef's kiss,
chef's kiss of incompetence. Mahomes stepped off, delivered to strike
and then Rice treats it like a hot potato. What
are you doing?
Speaker 3 (10:00):
So?
Speaker 1 (10:00):
Second straight week he coughed off a late throw out.
Remember the game against Dallas. And if only he caught
passes the way he drives recklessly through Dallas, they'd be
onto something. And then you've got Travis Kelce, mister swift,
the podcast guy who decided to play like a podcaster
(10:21):
as he bobbled one up in the air like he
was trying out for the Olympic.
Speaker 3 (10:24):
Beach volleyball team. And that was picked off, and that
was that.
Speaker 1 (10:28):
Here's Andy Reid, big Red, Big Red, what do you
have to say for all those passes that were battered
in the air everywhere?
Speaker 6 (10:34):
Oh listen, these are great players, So I mean, we
gotta make sure we catch the ball. They know that,
and they're trying a flag effort there all went through
their hands, and that happens. You know, those guys are
great players.
Speaker 1 (10:50):
Okay, well they weren't on this night. Great players, so
that's wonderful. They have good resumes and good pro football
reference pages. But it didn't help you in this game.
And as the line of thinking goes.
Speaker 3 (11:01):
All that matters is what you do in the moment.
Speaker 1 (11:03):
Right, they flipped the script and so the Texans are
feeling pretty good about themselves into the stratosphere. So Mahomes
ends up with one of the worst games of his
career since he established himself as the greatest quarterback of
this generation. He had nineteen incomplete passes nineteen of them
fourteen of thirty three nineteen incomplete passes, no touchdowns, and
(11:26):
three interceptions, a passer rating below twenty, which means indeed,
if the Chiefs had just stabbed the ball and hiked
and thrown in the ground, he would have had a
higher passer rating. Now that's not the face of the dynasty.
It was not in this game. That's a quarterback stuck
in football traffic and you're just right there on the
world's longest one lane road, and it's a season long frustration.
(11:50):
It's just one little thing here and then a thing
of a jig over there, and the what you McCall,
it doesn't work, and then you find yourself here a
bunch of self inflicted wounds everywhere. And that's how you
end up going from a AFC championship team to out
of the playoffs.
Speaker 3 (12:09):
Just like that.
Speaker 1 (12:10):
Now, last word, a lot of people trying to climb
on to the bandwagon for the Houston Texans, trying to
get a little you know, get a seat there, and
there's no seats left. So it's like those trains in
is it India where they you know, the big train
is like once a year they jump on top.
Speaker 3 (12:26):
Of the train. It's like an amazing thing. Have you
ever seen that before? I think it's in India? But CJ.
Speaker 1 (12:32):
Stroud two hundred and three yards and a touchdown, And
the question here does this win.
Speaker 3 (12:40):
At Arrowhead Stadium?
Speaker 1 (12:42):
Does it lessen the pressure, the immense pressure on the
Texans quarterback CJ.
Speaker 3 (12:48):
Stroud? Remember the Texans.
Speaker 1 (12:50):
Had done fine when he was out, In fact, they
started finding their mojo with Davis Mills the backup. So
does this win at Arrowhead help things out for CJ?
Sh I would say absolutely not if anything. If you
saw the game, it throws another log on the bonfire.
(13:10):
It throws another log on the bonfire. That makes me
what Kansas City practically hand delivered five turnovers, three picks,
two turnovers on downs, a couple of them deep deep
in their own territory. It's kind of like somebody dropping
their wallet at your feet with a big water cash
(13:31):
sticking out and they walk away. And then Stroud still
needed a search party to close the deal in the
second half, and he had a front row seat CJ.
Stroud on the vomit comet. He was right there on
the vomit comet, and not on the same street, not
the same stride of the street with his receivers.
Speaker 3 (13:51):
In the second half, a road win at Arrowhead, CJ.
Speaker 1 (13:55):
Stroud attempted twelve passes, completed three of them for thirty
two yards in the second and won a game on
the road, won a game on the road, took the
checkered flag, got it done on the road. Three passes
he completed in the second half, And it looks like
the passer ready thirty nine point five is like the
(14:16):
speed limit.
Speaker 3 (14:17):
In the school zone.
Speaker 1 (14:19):
And that's not exactly taking things to the next level
and cranking it up a couple of notches.
Speaker 3 (14:24):
Big boy quarterbacking that is.
Speaker 1 (14:26):
Training wheels stuff. And don't overlook the fact that all
ten points scored by Houston was courtesy of the bloopers
of the Chiefs. They're bloopers there set them up in
the second half. And you look, the Texas were not
driving the bus. Kansas City was blindly stumbling into traffic.
(14:50):
And the narrative doesn't change because you survived. The Chiefs
melt down there on offense and you got a good
defense and Stroud that's the point.
Speaker 3 (15:00):
Though he didn't quiet any of the noise. He did.
He just turned the.
Speaker 1 (15:04):
Volume up and it went from jackhammer volume to leaf
blower volume, and you're just the pressure is still at
full blast because the Texans remain a lopsided team. They're
a top heavy team, They've got an elite defense, and
that offense is just not very good. And you know
down the line the postseason, you're gonna have these issues
(15:27):
where unless the defense gets two or three turnovers and
the other team's just completely incompetent, you're not gonna get
much of.
Speaker 3 (15:33):
Anything out of your quarterback.
Speaker 1 (15:36):
And that's just the way is You're gonna have to
find points in the nook and crannies of your offense
because there's just not a lot there, and that's just
the reality of the situation.

Away, and we begin with the Monday night football game.
Speaker 3 (16:31):
And a memorable game. Not a great game, well, I
mean if you like turnovers. It was close. The game
went to overtime in the Hood and Inglewood and up
to no good.
Speaker 1 (16:40):
The Birds, the reigning champions of the NFL and not
playing like it right now. No, they're not the bright
lights of Monday night football. The La Power Company was
hosting the team from Philadelphia and Joe back Troy Aikman
were They had the call on a bced so I
(17:04):
don't saw a game or not if we watching, I
was at the game for a good chunk of it.
Had to leave early to get here. It's my duty
to the American people to come in here do sports talk.
So I couldn't be stuck in traffic. But Cameron Dicker,
the kicker, had to go ahead fifty four yard field goal.
He ended up kicking five field goals in the game.
(17:26):
And Tony Jefferson, who well, he intercepted on a tip
pass Jalen Hurts at the one yard line and that
lifted the Chargers to a twenty two to nineteen victory
over the free falling Philadelphia Eagle. What a bunch of
chumps the Eagles are, And it was somewhat enjoyable to
(17:49):
see the very braggadosius Eagle fan base who looked a
little numb the way that Jalen Hurts was playing in
this particular game. Now, the better story is in the
losing locker room, and so that is where we're going
to go. Jalen Hurts had to be kind a clunker,
a clunker for the Ages for Jalen Hurts, who threw
(18:10):
not one, not two, not three, but four four interceptions
and the Eagles committed five turnovers in the game. Jalen
Hurt said the two for one. We'll get to that
coming up in a minute. And here is the man
of the hour. Thought's start with Jalen Hurts here on
(18:30):
the overtime, the Eagles had gotten into field goal range.
There was a penalty on the Chargers on a fourth
down play that extended the drive for Philadelphia, which set
up the interception and the final blow, the final body blow,
body blow. Here is Jalen Hurts on what a night.
Four interceptions. Let's talk about that last one.
Speaker 9 (18:51):
I knew it was going to be a tight window drow.
I'd have to watch the film to see it from
the ays film's point of view. Ultimately, it's a play
that I didn't make. You got to handle the ball.
Speaker 3 (19:07):
That's a play that.
Speaker 9 (19:08):
We've made a million times in that scenario versus a
cloud corner, and I didn't make that play this time around.
Speaker 1 (19:17):
Yes, you did not make that play. So the reigning
Super Bowl champions lose their season worst third in a row.
They are just three games above five hundred. Now, the
good news is they're in the right division. The Giants
aren't trying, the Commanders blow, and the Cowboys suck, so
they're in a good division. There's no one else who's
even competing with them, so they've got that.
Speaker 3 (19:39):
Going in Philadelphia.
Speaker 1 (19:40):
However, it doesn't change the fact that Eagles are a
total fraud in terms of being a Super Bowl content.
Speaker 3 (19:46):
Does anyone disagree with that?
Speaker 1 (19:47):
Like, at this point we do the show today, we
have to worry about the show right now, we do
the overnight show at this moment. Is there a bigger
pretender than the Philadelphia Eagles in terms of actually winning
anything the way they.
Speaker 3 (19:59):
Are right now? God?
Speaker 1 (20:00):
All right, but let's focus in and it's good jumping
off put Let's focus in on the quarterback though, and
let's discuss the question, what is Jalen Hurts play? What
is the smell around Jalen Hurts like? Just break it
down like that, right, what's Jalen Hurts play smell like?
Speaker 3 (20:17):
For the Eagles? So my thoughts on this, I've.
Speaker 1 (20:20):
Got John Madden gator and spicy margarita, and we will
combine all of these things together and we are going
to put the biscuit in the basket. So a, the
smell surrounding Jalen Hurts is a pungent smell.
Speaker 3 (20:39):
It's punging it up. It's so strong. It's actually peeling
the paint at the Link in Philadelphia. It's that bad.
The paint's peeling down. It smells so bad.
Speaker 1 (20:48):
And this was a masterpiece of malfunction. And I'm happy
I got to see something I've never seen before that
we're not sure as happened before, and it happened on
a Monday night game here. But before we get to that,
when I say that Jalen Hurts went out there and
had a masterpiece of malfunction, it was a performance so
(21:12):
historically awful it deserves its own wing at the Louver
across the Atlantic there. It just deserves its own spot
in the museum. And forget Van goll and the da
Vini and all the greats, Jalen Hurts in this Monday
night game was Jackson Pollock. He was splattering turnovers in
(21:33):
the air every way right across the gridiron like a
man who was playing possessed by the spirit of abstract incompetence.
Speaker 3 (21:44):
That was Jalen Hurts in this game.
Speaker 1 (21:46):
And you saw the play in particular was interception, fumble,
recovery and then fumble on the same play. John Madden,
if he were still alive, the ghost of John Madden
would call that the turnover.
Speaker 3 (22:02):
Turducan is what that was. That was a turnover to ducan.
Speaker 1 (22:06):
You got the interception, you get the recovery, and then
you get the fumble. That's the Turducan of turnovers for
Jalen Hurts. Congratulations the rare double giveaway. The rare double
giveaway on one play. And the Nerds claim that their
data goes back to nineteen seventy Apparently nothing happened before
(22:28):
nineteen seventy eight. Everything after nineteen seventy eight. They have
no recorded history of anyone sucking that much on one
play like Jalen Hurts. And that's not quarterback play, mind you.
That's finger painting while on a dumbball ride at Disney World,
is what that was. Now Hertz, who has gone recently
(22:49):
from the afterglow of the Super Bowl MVP to the
LVP as in Lost Value Player, that's Jalen Hurts right now,
the VP, the lost value player, and he's strapped right
in that cockpit of the vomit comet, and he's on
a full Kma Kazi mission with that Philadelphia Eagles offense
(23:12):
right now. And this is not just a one night
stink bomb.
Speaker 3 (23:16):
As we know.
Speaker 1 (23:16):
We've been documenting here. We have a talk show to
do every day, and we come in here and the
Eagles are good for business because they won the Super Bowl.
Speaker 3 (23:25):
They're supposed to be good.
Speaker 1 (23:26):
And they're underachieving and so it's always fun to talk
about teams like this, and they are really living up
to the suck mantra in Philadelphia. So the last five games,
I mean, that's a good sample size.
Speaker 3 (23:39):
Is that fair? That's fair?
Speaker 1 (23:41):
You're shaking your yeah, that's fair. So last five games,
Jalen Hurts has a seventy two point three passer rating.
He's averaging six point four yards per pass, completing less
than sixty percent of his passes despite running a rudimentary
Eagles offense. And he's got five interceptions now and three fumbles.
(24:02):
And that's the way it's going for Jalen Hurts. And
so that's not really a slump. Mind you, that's a
five alarm football funk, is what that is for Jalen Hurts.
And remember in the NFL, there is no rest for
the wicked. So right back at it again for Jaialen Hurts,
although the competition does soften going forward. Now page two,
(24:25):
let's talk about the leadership vacuum in Philadelphia here, and
there's a there's a theme to the Eagles as they
continue to have their issues here and the question is
do you have any confidence as an outsider, do you
have any confidence that Nick Sirianni can stop the bleeding
of the birds? Do you have any confidence of that
(24:48):
that day you can get it done?
Speaker 3 (24:49):
There?
Speaker 1 (24:51):
So I'm gonna go nope on that. That's that's nope
for those of you who don't have to spell nope.
Zero confidence. And I don't know how anyone could have commence.
The Eagles had a similar free fall. I think it
was twenty twenty three. They never got out of it,
they never were able to stop it, and Sirianni was
(25:13):
the head coach of that team. The Eagles right now
are like the USS Gerald R.
Speaker 3 (25:19):
Ford.
Speaker 1 (25:20):
They are an aircraft carrier and they're very difficult to
turn around those aircraft carriers. It's like they're drifting sideways
in the Delaware River right now. And Nick Sirianni is
standing on deck on the aircraft carrier and he's waving
pom poms, and instead of grabbing the wheel and trying
to turn, he's on, we're fine. Oh we're good. I
(25:41):
love these guys. Ah, they're so good. Let's play rock
paper sis is what do you say? Okay, why not?
We'll play rock papers?
Speaker 3 (25:49):
Fine?
Speaker 1 (25:50):
So you don't turn around the aircraft carrier by saying
let's go right into the headset.
Speaker 3 (25:56):
That doesn't work.
Speaker 1 (25:57):
Here is Nick Sirianni on the for Interception game for
Jalen Hurs.
Speaker 3 (26:03):
Let's hear what Sirianni had to say on this.
Speaker 10 (26:06):
This game is the ultimate team game. So it's all
it's never you know, it's never just on one person. Ultimately,
he always has the ball in his hands, and I
know he'll he'll wear a lot of that and own
that and and I got to do a better job
of helping him in those scenarios. Again, it's always it's
never just on execution, right, It's it's always that we
(26:27):
look at ourselves as coaches first, and we help them
be in position to succeed and then execute right. So
obviously never want to turn the ball over. We've been
pretty good at that, and tonight was a little uncharacteristic
of ourselves.
Speaker 1 (26:40):
So there's a couple of things here that are classic
deflection moves. Jalen hurts in the SoundBite we played, so
I gotta watch the tape. That's a classic. I'm not
answering the question. I'm gonna say, I'm gonna watch the tape.
You'll never ask me about it again, or when you
ask me about it again, I'm going to say, well,
we've moved on to the next game. And then the
it's never on one guy from Sirianni, when yeah, it
(27:04):
kind of is. That's why the quarterback gets paid ten
times with the other players get it's on him. So
you can say whatever you want. It's a team game
and all that. Well, the team games are lost by individuals,
and Sirianni is a show pony. He is a show pony.
He's a sideline cheerleader who thrives when the wind is
(27:25):
at his back, and when the wind changes and the
storm hits all of a sudden, the high tides and
the birds they start leaking oil and all of a sudden,
Syrianni does a costume change and he becomes a gator.
The inflator gator is Nick Sirianni. As he pumps air
into every minor issue, does not solve anything. And then
(27:48):
it becomes a full blown circus balloon. And that's the Eagles.
And it says, literally blocking the highway there, it's blocking
Broad Street there in Philadelphia.
Speaker 3 (27:59):
It's a mess.
Speaker 1 (28:00):
And so Jalen Hurts, who looked like a man whose
football soul.
Speaker 8 (28:05):
Had been mugged.
Speaker 1 (28:07):
He was numb as a bug. And just the whole
thing is like, what is going on here? Passes were
being tipped, they were just a little bit off, and
that's the difference between good and bad, success and failure.
And so you've got the AJ Brown situation where he
had a bunch of yards, but yet the underlying condition
(28:29):
is still alive. They're not singing from the same song sheet,
Jalen Hurts and AJ Brown. As you look at it,
the coughing is still there. As thirteen targets and AJ
Brown had six catches. There was a key drop in
the fourth quarter, down in the end zone in a
(28:49):
forty six percent catch rate, which doesn't appear to be
very good. It screams miscommunication for the Philadelphia Eagles, and
there's obviously a lot of frustration with a little dash,
just a little dash of diva sprinkles on top at
this point. So the schedule, if there is a positive,
if you want me to be Benny Brightside, the positive
(29:09):
here is the schedule is cotton candy like the Eagles.
Even though the Eagles are trash right now, they still
should win three of their final four games to close
the regular season. Is anyone want to push back on that?
Have you seen who they play? The Raiders? The Raiders
are up next in Philadelphia. The Raiders have already given up.
(29:32):
They're a bunch of quitters. They've got Geno Smith. That
tells you they're not trying to win. When you have
Geno Smith, you are trying not to win football games.
You're just trying to cover. And Pete did cover the spread.
Goodship by him. They do have to play the Bills,
that's in Buffalo. That'll be a loss. But then you
also have two games home and home with the Washington Commandos.
(29:53):
So they appear to quit or have quit the way
they played against the Minnesota Vikings.
Speaker 3 (29:58):
So that's what's up ahead.
Speaker 1 (30:00):
However, right now, the Eagles, they don't need cupcakes is
what they need. Competence is what they they need here.
And so even if you beat up on the Raiders
and the Commanders a couple of times, you're not battle
tested when you eventually play a better team. And so
Nick Sirianni's not exactly stopping them bleeding here, and if anything,
(30:21):
he's picking at the gab. Now what's going to be
interesting is this was the kind of game and as
we were going through it, there's some chatter in the
press box like that somebody's gonna get fired. Now I'm
not saying Sirianne's gonna get fired, but this is the
kind of a performance when you know and everyone's watching
your offense and people are questioning whether or not you
should have demoted the offensive coordinator. This is the kind
of game that gets Kevin Patulo sacrificed and whacked by
(30:47):
the Eagles. Like that's the kind of game where he
will either be demoted or just removed from the coaching room.
So stay tuned on that. Now. Last word on the
Charger side of things, show me your lightning bolt. Good
looking uniforms by the Chargers, right, They dressed for success.
They had that electric blue on on the Monday night.
(31:08):
But can Jim Harbaugh. Can Jim Harbaugh now exhale with
the Chargers getting the overtime win over the reigning champions
of the NFL. So the answer to this is no,
It is no on this one, and not even close.
I'm shaking my head now.
Speaker 3 (31:28):
No.
Speaker 1 (31:28):
Just for those of you who can watch on the YouTube,
we have Ben Mather Show on YouTube. We're actually streaming
the monologue.
Speaker 3 (31:34):
So I'm shaking my head. No, here's why I'm shaking
my head. No, all right. In fact, I'm shaking my head.
Speaker 1 (31:39):
I'm gonna shake my head so much i probably need
a chiropractor. No no, no, no, no, no, no no no, no, no, no, no,
like just like that. And here's why this was an
ugly duckling win. It is an ugly duckling win. The offense.
The defense was great, I say great, but the Eagles.
The Eagles had their own issu. But here's the deal.
(32:01):
The offensive display here, this was a capital you ugly
is what it was. You had, and you underline it,
you can highlight it however you want. To put a
spectacle around it, and you put on a billboard if
you want, on the four ROH five. Take one of
those ambulance chasing lawyer billboards off the four H five
and put that up there. But depending on dicker, the kicker,
(32:25):
the idiot kicker for five field goals. And this is
we always say the same thing with the Cowboys. It's
a blessing and a curse to have a great kicker.
Cowboys and Chargers have great kickers. It's a blessing and
a curse because you depend on the kicker and you
don't win big games with field goals.
Speaker 3 (32:40):
You don't. This a regular season game, you won it. Congratulations.
Speaker 1 (32:44):
However, normally, when you get five turnovers, am I not
wrong in saying you should win that game by thirty points?
If you get five turnovers, you're at home, You put
your feet up, you grab a spicy margarita, and you
enjoyed garbage time, and you play as on the sidelines.
Speaker 3 (33:01):
That was not what happened here. They were not on
some kind of Royal Caribbean cruise.
Speaker 1 (33:05):
They were not not the bolt the Chargers who had
turned Jalen Hurts, and Jalen was very generous. It's the
season of giving, and Jalen Hurts his generosity was generosity
machine here for the Philadelphia Eagles.
Speaker 3 (33:19):
And they managed to get.
Speaker 1 (33:20):
If my math is correct, I believe six points off
five turnovers by the Eagles. They only monetized those into
six points. Two field goals. That's all they got off
five turnovers. Now they did get the technically the last
one they sealed the game because that ended the game,
the final interception, But the other four they only got
(33:41):
six points out of it, a couple of field goals.
Speaker 3 (33:44):
And this was the type of game that you have
to go back in time. This was a.
Speaker 1 (33:52):
Super duper football follies VHS tape, the kind your uncle
got at the gas station in like ninety three is
what this was. And Justin Herbert, he's playing hurt.
Speaker 3 (34:07):
They didn't touch.
Speaker 1 (34:07):
They didn't talk about that at all on the broadcast,
didn't they No, Justin Herbert, who looked like he was
trying to throw a piano on every drop back. Now
the Eagles got to him a fair amount. And this
is the same thing I say all the time. Just
you're gonna repeat yourself again, I know, yeah, say it
(34:28):
about CJ. Stroud Gino Smith. I'm gonna say it about
Justin Herbert. Get rid of the damn ball, okay, rather
a tat tat, get rid of the ball, dummy, And
Justin Herbert kept holding onto the ball, holding on the ball,
holding on the ball.
Speaker 3 (34:47):
What are you doing? Just get rid of it and
throw it away, my god.
Speaker 1 (34:51):
And he had two fumbles lost, one of them an
interception under fifty percent. He's the Golden child. Every broadcaster
licks this, guys toes Justin Herbert, I don't see it.
He was holding on the ball like was a family heirloom. Dude,
It's just a duke. Get rid of the duke. The
Chargers had only twohundred seventy five yards of offense in
(35:14):
this game. They had sixteen first downs, two of those
via penalty by the Philadelphia Eagles. So you look ahead
now that you check the schedule, they play at Kansas City.
Kansas City's a lightweight this year, so you play at Arrowhead,
then you've got at Dallas, the Texans.
Speaker 3 (35:32):
In La or in Inglewood, and then at Denver.
Speaker 1 (35:35):
That is what's left four games left in the regular
season for the Chargers at this point. So that's not
a stretch round. That's a rocky road. Arrowhead not easy
to play at. Dallas has some good offense, although they're
not a complete team.
Speaker 3 (35:49):
And so that's that's where we are.
Speaker 1 (35:51):
That's rocky road for Jim Harbaugh, and so you can't
excel plus hardbass. He's not like that. He doesn't exhale
about anything. He's always got to stick up his talks,
doesn't he That's what he looks like. It's one of
those people and he can barely inhale.
