Speaker 1 (00:00):
We've seen the hype train of the Washington Commanders. We've
seen people hype up the Washington Commanders week after a week.
They're the real deal. They're winning the NFC East, They're
doing this, They're doing it. I'm like, ah, and I
finally was it two weeks ago? I was like, you
(00:20):
know what, I believe in the Commanders. I'm starting to
buy the hype of the Commanders. I'm starting to realize like, hey, yeah,
they haven't played nobody, but they did battle the Ravens
and they come down and they beat the Panthers and
the Bears in a hail Mary Like, hey, okay, I
buy them. But since then, since I bought the hype
(00:40):
train of this Washington Commanders team, since id's like, okay,
I have fanthing, y'all. They're on a two game losing streak.
Not only are they on a two game losing streak,
they blow in two second half leads ten points to
the Steelers and then seven points to the Philadelphia Eagles. Guys,
(01:02):
the question is, are we done buying this hype around
the Commanders. Are we done trying to say, oh, they're
the East or the champions are stop it? Are we done?
Buying it. That's the real, real question. When we look
at the Washington Commanders, guys, they do drop to seven
and four on the season with the loss to the
Philadelphia Eagles, and looks like Carson brought up, right, the
(01:22):
big buzzword around the Commanders is they have not played
nobody yet. They haven't played nobody yet. Right. Let let's
let's rephrase that they haven't beaten anybody yet. They have
yet to be in a playoff bound team. They have
wins over the Giants, they have wins over the Bengals,
the Browns, the Panthers, the Bears, and the Giants. Oh wow, baby,
(01:45):
nothing to write home about. And the only reason why
they beat the Giants was because the Giants didn't have
a field goal kicker in that particular game. Let's just
be honest. And it's not like they haven't played anybody yet, right.
They played it a couple of playoff bound teams. They
played the Buccaneers. Oh, by the way, they lost to
the Bucks. Oh, but they played the Ravens. They lost
(02:06):
to the Ravens. Ah. But they played the Steagles. Oh
they lost to the Steelers. But they yeah, they lost
to the Eagles. Two their four losses are two playoff teams.
And they're not even just losing, they're just they're they're
giving away the games, right, They're given away. Those second
half games are given away the way the leads like
in games that they really should not win or they
should have won. Right. And when we flashed back to
(02:31):
the Eagles game just last night, let's look at the
fourth quarter, fourth quarter, it was twelve to ten. It
was like eight some odd minutes left in the game, right,
it was fourth to one. They had a chance to
take the league with the field goal. Whether what what
do they do? Mister dan Quinn's like, let's go four
on fourth down, Betty, Yeah, let's go. What happens? Negative
(02:52):
play sacked turnover by the being by the boom Shehekwon
Barkley scores two touchdowns in like twenty seconds. Now that
down play change the whole outcome of the like the game.
Let's just be flat and honest. We saw the momentum
of the commander's deflight very next play, Sha Kwan Barkley
to the house washing commanders get the ball back boom
(03:13):
by being nineteen to ten, interception by re read blank
and ship the next player two or two or two
plays later by being by the boom shakuon Barkley to
the house. I understand the stats are out there. The
Washing Commanders are twelve and fourteen on fourth down this season,
and the stats are the facts are is when you
(03:35):
have a chance to extend to drive, they've done it
twelve to twelve times so far this season, and it
is demoralizing to a defense, I get it right. But
per NFL and analytics on top of that, when a
team has a successful fourth down play, they score fifty
one percent of the time. So yeah, I mean it
makes sense to go for it, But at the end
(03:57):
of the day, you have to know your situations. Look
beyond the aalyticstop beating mister risk taker himself. Now, the
Commanders guys do play three variable winnable games the next
three weeks. Then they play the rematch versus Philadelphia Eagles,
and then they play the Falcons and the Cows two
end the season. The storyline going into the playoffs is
(04:17):
still they have not played anybody yet. But I am
done buying the hype around the Philadelphia or sorry they
Washington Commanders. I am done buying their hype. They have
yet to beat a good team. I mean, they've beaten
the Cardinals, but are the Cardinals going to make the playoffs?
Probably not. They have yet to beat a playoff team
(04:38):
and they only have two games left versus playoff teams
for the rest of the season. Dan Quinn, risky play calling,
like on that fourth down call is going to cost
Commanders this season, just like Dan Campbell's risk was risk
risk taking cost of Detroit Lions Super Bowl chances last season. Guys,
I am done with the Washington Commanders hype train. I
(05:00):
am done. They're not very they are good, they are
built to win now. But Dan camp or Dan Quinn
is gonna be the ultimate failure for them. Age is
gonna catch up to them, and they're not gonna be
battle test when it comes to the playoffs. So, guys,
let me ask this question. Are we done buying the
(05:20):
hype around the Washington Commanders. Are we done saying the
Aushington Commanders are them? Damn them them? Right? John says
Washington isn't done and they're going to win the East.
Jim John, I'm sorry. When the Washington Commanders go on
a three game losing streak. When the Washington Commanders go
(05:43):
to a T and T Stadium in Dallas, Texas, and
they lose on Thanksgiving Day to the Dallas Cowboys, making
that a three game losing streak. I want you to
screenshot this. Screenshot this, Jim John, right right now, Boo
boop do it. When they go on a three game
loser streaking they lose to the Cowboys, are they still
(06:05):
gonna win the East? Absolutely not. They have three gaming
games versus the Cowboys, Titans, and Saints coming up. When
they drop one of those games, like HA told you so,
when they get humiliated by the Eagles at home on
December twenty second, like ha, I told you so, when
(06:26):
they get beat by the Falcons, of it Christmas Eve
or New Year's Eve, HA told you so. The shoe
has dropped in Washington. Jayden Daniels has hit that rookie wall.
Dan Quinn has gone like a risking no biscuit. You're
gonna get no biscuit? Could you been risking it? Let's
(06:47):
just be honest. John says the Eagles will be the
wild card to play either Minnesota or Tampa Bay. And John,
this is where you get mixed up, man, This is
where you get mixed up because the Philadelphia Eagles are
a wild card team. That means they'll be a fifth,
sixth or seventh seed team. By saying they'll play Minnesota
and the wild card is implying that the Minnesota Vikings
(07:10):
will get a divisional crown. That's not gonna happen. Sorry,
Vikings fans. I like y'all, but you know are not
winning the Winning the NFC North not gonna happen. Tampa
Bay Buccaneers, they have opportunity to win the NFC South,
still very very long shot, but still an opportunity. So
(07:31):
that would be a four or five. See that could
be a potential game Tampa Bay versus Eagles. Yet yet again,
So it is, it is what it is like, I
can see it, but not gonna happen. Ronnie Lester's and
it shows up. Ronnie. He says, they all better get
the chiefs now because come December they will have a
(07:51):
full squad ready to do. You're talking about the Buffalo Bills.
Curious Jim says, I think they still got a few
rounds further than Paul Goes. I haven't really cared about
the Skins since the Riggins fans me over in my
Grand Grandma's living room. And there's no reason to root
for the Redskins now either, Jim, because they're not even
(08:13):
gonna make the playoffs. I got this rake, Let's just
be honest. Two game losing streak right now, potentially three.
Listen to the Cowboys. The wheels will fall off the
wagon at some point. Is happening now, that's happening now.
John says, all the shit we hear about Vegas, I
hope Dallas is dead last. You better hope Dallas is
dead last, because that's the only way they have a
(08:36):
chance to win. Laura says, seems like fourth down failers
have happened a lot this season because people are trusting
this analytics bullshit. Laura. See, there's this thing in the
world where're like, analytics tell us what to do. Analytics
is this analytics? Is that the analytics told me that
I should turn left instead of right because I can
save thirty six seconds going this way? Well, shut up?
(08:58):
You know how hard is it? Too good? Drive over
four lanes of traffic and turn left where I can
just turn right, go down the stop playing make a
U E can go. Sometimes you have to trust your gut,
and that is what NFL coaches are starting to forget like, hey,
there was a time pre analytics. There was a time
pre like hey, what do you say up there? Man?
(09:19):
In this guy trust a freaking gut and trust your
say situation. The situation in Washington was second down, zero yardeds.
Third down play was an incomplete pass, and then you
go for a fourth down it was twelve to ten,
literally missing it fourth down. When you're down twelve to ten, win.
(09:41):
The Eagles defense is playing stellar, right. Their offense at
the time was still kind of struggling. Right. They did
find the ends up, but they were struggling. Let's just
be honest. Field goal kicker at that point already missed
two field goals and then a pat seven points left
on the floor, So you you're already kind of already
playing with house money as is. Take the freaking points.
(10:03):
Trust your freaking gut. That's your freaking gut. Carson says.
The only team the Cowboys have beaten right now are
the little Giants, and they're gonna beat the Commanders come Thanksgiving,
Dap Baby, I'll be back in Kansas, Washington with the pops,
getting my Micael person. Jerney's on Commander's going down. Lord
Dallas is gonna win. That he's gonna win, baby, because
Dallas cows can't even tank right, can't even tank right.
(10:26):
And John says, shave your beard over it. We'll have
a beard, bet sure, whatever, what are you gonna shave? Mean?
Because you're already bald and you don't and you don't
have a beard. Lawd says, left the beat spits, but
they're not very good. I want to see your baby face.
My baby face makes to look older because it's all
(10:46):
got the wrinkles and scars and stuff from like years
of abuse. Carson says, commanders might not be them this year,
but let's see what happens next year. Yeah, let's see
what happens when the whole deeps retired because they're over
thirty five years of age. Now I see what you're saying, Carson.
They got nine draft picks, they got one hundred and
twenty five million dollars in catspace, YadA, YadA, YadA. They
(11:07):
also got dan Quinn as a head coach. Let's just
be honest. They got dan Quinn as the head coach.
Maybe he's turned over the new leaf. Maybe doing this
has helped this confidence. Maybe wearing the backwards hat on
the side. I was like, hey, yeah, Babby, let's go.
Simple fact of matter is it's still the Washington Commanders.
(11:29):
I know, new ownership, new general manager, new coach, new culture,
NEWT nine, draft pick one hundred and twenty five million dollars.
We'll see what happens. We'll see what happens. But guys,
are we done buying the hype train of the Washington Commanders?
Are we done buying the truth? Be told, I am
jumping off that wagon. I was on it for a
little bit. I was
We've seen the hype train of the Washington Commanders. We've
