Have the Commanders been lucky or good?

Have the Commanders been lucky or good?

Episode Transcript

Speaker 1 (00:00):
Guys, they've been playing with house money, right, They've been
playing with house money all postseason. They I'm gonna say,
they snuck into the playoffs. They upset the Buccaneers week
one of the playoffs and the wild card card round.
Nobody thought that was going to going to happen, certainly
not me. And then they go in into to Detroit

(00:24):
playing with house house money and come out smelling like roses. So, guys,
Washington Commanders, I have been overlooking all season long, much
like most people I like, I lock, I feel I
feel like a lot of people have really been overlooking
the Washington Commanders. So when you go into these games

(00:44):
coming out like smelling like roses in wild card game
and the divisional game, let me ask this question, guys,
do you think the Washington Commanders are that good or
are they lucky? Are they good or are they lucky?
The Washington Commands? Are they good or are they lucky?
So when you look at the Washington Commanders in two
games they played the Tampa Bay Buccaneers and the Detroit Lions,

(01:05):
Jade Daniels has five hundred and sixty seven yards passing
four touchdowns just to one interceptions sacked, zero times, zero sex.
Think about that, keep keep that in mind, zero zero sacks.
Brian Johnson has ninety three yards rushing in those two games.
Dammy Brown has one hundred and eighty seven yards receiving

(01:26):
in these two games versus the Buccaneers and versus the
the the Detroit Lions. In the regular season, guys, Jayden
Danis was averaging two hundred nine yards passing per game
so far. In the playoffs, two hundred and eighty four
yards passing per game. Brian Robertson Junior averaged four point
three yards of per carry in the regular season. He's

(01:47):
done around three point five in the postseason. Dammy Brown
at three hundred and eight yards total all season long,
all seeds long so far this postseason, and then two
games he has one hundred and eighty seven yards. Wrap
your head and head around that. They scored twenty eight
points versus Detroit Lions in the second quarter by default

(02:09):
taking their rushing game out of the game, meaning meeting
the Detroit Lions. And they needed to do that because
Washing Commanders had the twenty ninth runked rush defense in
the NFL so far this this season. So, guys, when
you look at the Washington Commanders their wins over the
Tampa Bay Buccaneers twenty three to twenty and then the
win over the over Detroit Detroit Lions forty five to

(02:31):
thirty one. Has it been luck? Or are they that good?
Because I have to side to the light of luck.
I like, I know I've been overlooking and kind of
talking up the Washington in Commanders just a little bit
because they have gotten lucky. Let's just be flat and honest.
They have gotten lucky. Diammy Brown, has anybody did anybody

(02:55):
know this guy prior to this postseason? Let's just be art.
Has anybody know this guy prior to the postseason? I'm
sure you Washington come come Maners fans heard of them.
But the man only had three hundred nine or three
hundred and eight yards all season long, not in two games,
do five games? All seventeen games? Three hundred and eight

(03:17):
yards in two games one hundred and eighty seven yards.
That is luck? Mean that mean that could be him
stepping up and be a time time prayer like Lick,
just like my man Travis Kelce. But that's a lot
of luck and to be able to to basically take
the Detroit Lions rushing game out of the game in
the second quarter. Because we know that your defense, your

(03:39):
rush even sucks. That is huge. That's a lot of luck.
That's a lot of luck involved, guys. I think the
Washington Commanders have been lucky all postseason. And I'm not
saying it is going to run out against the Philadelphia Eagles,
but that twenty ninth rutching defense in the NFL is
going up against the best, that's right, the best rushing

(04:02):
attack in the Philadelphia Eagles on Sunday afternoon at three
o'clock East Coast time. Because I feel like it has
been luck. But I want you guys to ask a
question in the comics below, Guys, is this Washington Commander's luck?
Is it because they're that good? Or is it because
they're lucky? That is the question. That is the question.
Kevo says, the lines would have lost regardless of that

(04:24):
trick player not working less. Be honest, probably they could
not stop. The question Commanders is. Julian Cohn says, if
you look at Daniels interception, he has nine. Three of
them came versus the Eagles. Eagles are more physical defense,
and just believe the Philadelphia is more scary is Julian
I believe so. The Eagles are a very very dangerous team.

(04:48):
And Haffy says, I've been hyping up the Commanders all
year long. Slower down, baby akaa. Hoffey has been blown
his boss all season long about the Commanders, right, But
Drew said, well, hey, you want some facts. You all
want some facts. The facts are? Are they are that good?
Drew says, they're not lucky. Yeah, they've thrown up some good,

(05:11):
good yardage. Yeah. Jane Daniels eighty five percent of the
Commander's offense versus the Buccaneers. Yeah, he was seventy five
percent of the offense versus the Detroit lines. But damn it,
they are just that good. They are that good. And
John says, yeah, me too. I've been hyping up up
the commanders. Y'all drunk, y'all drunk. And Laura says, hey,

(05:33):
simply put, they're good. They're good. They're better than the Lions.
They're better than my Vikings, they're better than the Packers,
they're better than the Broncos, they're better than the Charge.
They're just really really good. Laura, I can respect that.
Dennis says, Detroit is done next year, got the Steelers, Bucks, Cowboys,

(05:54):
Washington Rams, Eagles, Ravens, Bengals, and your Kansas City squad
next year. There's a long ways away. We don't know
what tomorrow brings, right, We don't know what the draft
is going to look like. We don't know Hell Aaron,
Aaron Glenn might be back in Detroit next season, Dennis,
we don't know. The offseason, long offseason. Let's get through
the postseason, Let's get through the Super Bowl, Let's get

(06:16):
through the draft, and then we'll talk about next season, right,
Alpha Rob says, maybe the NFC just isn't that good.
The big dogs are in the AFC, and Alpha Rob
and I think you are correct, right, because most of
the season I said they are probably eight or nine
really really good ac SED teams. Yes, you have your

(06:37):
front front runners. Do you have your Buffalo Bills, the
Baltimore Ravens, and the kenc Chiefs, and then kind of
give it like everybody else, the a Steelers, Broncos, Chargers, Texans.
You can throw the Bengals in there, right, maybe the
Miami Dolphins. But the NFC is very, very top heavy.
We did not expect the Commanders to be a part

(06:57):
of those top heavy guys. But we but we saw
the Lions, we saw the Vikings, and we saw the
Eagles being very very top heavy. Right, So I guess
we'll see. We'll see in the super Bowl. If the
NFC can finally win a Super Bowl, that's the real question. Yeah, yeah,
four one six, She says, with the team that struggled
with the Bears, I think luck had a lot to

(07:18):
do with it. And yeah, yah. Honestly, that was the
catapulting point for the Washington c Manners. Was that Hail
Mary versus the chicag versus the Chicago Bears. Right, if
they would have lost that game, they wouldn't have been
in the playoffs. They we wouldn't be in this situation.

(07:39):
The Detroit Hell, the Minnesota Vikings might be in this
situation right now. Let's just call it a spade of
space that one lucky win can catapult your whole season.
But I'm talking justice postseason run. I think it's been
pure luck. I mean, yes, they are good, but it's
been more luck and then good. Kevo says Theamy Brown
was a beast in you and c listen, there's a

(08:01):
lot of beasts in college. How about my man Michael
Bishop from the Kansastate University right there as a helmet
baby alumni. My man Michael Bishop was a beast in college.
You guys think Lamar Jackson is a good player, a
great player, an elite player. Michael Bishop in college at
the Kansas State University. That guy was a dope. That

(08:22):
man could throw it eighty five yards off his back
book with the flick of a wrist. He got drafted
by the New England Patriots, sucked in the NFL. Let
it be on a flat out. Sucked in the NFL.
Tom Brady over jumped him as a second string quarterback.
I think Michael Wisch is like thirty year maybe right.
How about this Lester odd a name out there? Uh,

(08:48):
trying to think of a receiver that didn't really do
a whole lot in college? Oh yeah, Tyreek Hill, mister
juco man himself. Yeah he was speed, but he did
not do really a hell of a lot in Juco
or in college in general. First couple of years in
the NFL didn't really do anything either. Now his third

(09:10):
and fourth year he became beasto. He became one of
the top receivers in the NFL. Right a lot of
college people don't translate into the NFL. And and and
a lot a lot of these great that you see
in the NFL don't have very good college careers. Right,
It's just just it is what it is. And yeah,
Yah says it is luck all the way around. There's

(09:33):
no denying it one way or the other. It is
luck all the way around. I think you're right. Dennis says,
ever since the hell, Mary, they have been lucky. Correct. Correct.
The College Football Network trying to get some claw, he says, hello,
First of all, Man, that's the ugliest profile pitcher ever.
Do better, Man, do better. I'm just playing. Josh says,

(09:55):
I think they'll beat the Eagles twenty seven to twenty three.
We will talk about this Wednesday and Thursday and Friday.
We got like we got a lot of time talk
about the championship game. Rob's in the chat. He says,
how in the hell would somebody at the Steelers? They
are terrible? Okay, Okay, They're not terrible. They're a nice
mediocre team. It's Julian Kahn says, luck against Tampa Bay

(10:19):
if Baker Mayfield's baker fingers mean, butterfingers did not fumble it.
I believe it'd be a different narrative. Pluster kickers fifty
to fifty lions are not what the record they're week
at quarterback. The havn't the Washington commander has been through
like six kickers, two five kickers, like geezh. The Tim

(10:39):
Reynolds Show. Guys gool there subscribed to Tim rentals show.
He says, I am a Bucks fan and Jayden looks
like he's a veteran quarterback out there. He's not making
mistakes and stays cool under pressure. I really think Washington
has a real chance with the way their offense is
being run. And Tim, I think you are one hundred
percent correct. Jayde Daniels is a dog. I said it

(11:01):
on Saturday Night, I said, I reaffirmed it on Monday show.
I said that Jade dams is it's a top five
quarterback in the NFL right now. I think Jade Danields
is the real deal. Fell into this perfect situation. Now.
If he would have went to Chicago, we wouldn't be
talking about him just like this. If he would have
went to New England, we wouldn't be talking about this.

(11:24):
If we want Ted Denver probably wouldn't be talking about this.
The Commanders were a perfect situation for Jaydeen Daniels, right,
it was a perfect marriage, just like Patrick Mahomes and
like Andreid a perfect marriage. Jade Daniels is the real deal.
What I'm worried about and the Commanders and how I
think they are lucky is that their defense has kind
of been suspect all season long twenty ninth and and

(11:44):
like rushing in tenth and past defense, right, they're not
very good on the offensive side of the ball plus
or roll and when you're front four manhandles arguably the
best lineman or the best line in all of NFL
all game long. That's how that is a little bit
of luck, right, that's a little bit of luck. And

(12:05):
Kennedy says, the Eagles versus the Redskins with the top
seven rivalry in the NFL, thinking about it, yeah, I
mean yeah, they're they're they're they're they're definitely a top ten,
top seven rivalry in the NFL. It is gonna be
a great blood black game. I don't anticipate it being
nothing but a blood bat but blood bath of a

(12:27):
of a game. Kawasi Hill says, LML l M a
O says, every team getting lucky, but JD five is
just different. So are you referring to the Commanders getting
lucky as well? Kawazi Hill Or is just Jayden or
or just Jaydon Daniels just carrying that whole team and

(12:49):
making them better. And and I don't want to diminish
anything that Jaydon Daniels is doing. He is being a
dog all season long. He has elevated the whole play
of this team. This team is not a super Bowl
will win a team, or a playoff winning team, or
a playoff team in general without Jayden Daniels. Let's just
be Let's just be honest about that. Jayden Daniels is
a guy. Dennis said, I still draft Williams first. Kayler

(13:14):
Williams does have a lot of bright up upside. We
will talk about that. Uh. Kennedy says, the Redskins got
Dan Quinn, They're gonna have a have a not okay,
look at the twenty twenty six Falcons or twenty sixteen
Falcons when the head was the head coach. Maybe he's
grown from from from that. So Kennedy is referring to

(13:35):
the twenty eight to three half time lead over the
Patriots end up giving you that way into that game, right,
So let's let's move on.
