TRANSCRIPT 🔗
00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:19.760
Music.
00:00:20.249 --> 00:00:24.209
Happy Halloween, everyone. We're back. It's your girls, Sargan and Jove,
00:00:24.309 --> 00:00:26.109

00:00:26.429 --> 00:00:29.469
Thank you so much for listening again. Whether you're a seasoned football fan
00:00:29.469 --> 00:00:32.049
or just here for the snacks, we're taking a dive into the play,
00:00:32.209 --> 00:00:35.449
players, and all the drama that makes football one of the greatest games.
00:00:35.629 --> 00:00:37.969
We'll deliver all the hot takes with a side of sass.
00:00:38.349 --> 00:00:42.229
This week had some huge news, injuries, and drama, so let's break it all down.
00:00:47.369 --> 00:00:50.269
The story of week eight and it
00:00:50.269 --> 00:00:53.269
started with the really fun thursday nighter
00:00:53.269 --> 00:00:58.249
actually the rams versus the vikings i i
00:00:58.249 --> 00:01:01.129
need to apologize i think i really wrote off the rams and
00:01:01.129 --> 00:01:04.929
i forgot about puka and cup and how much of a difference they can make with
00:01:04.929 --> 00:01:11.469
stafford it's complete side note cooper cup needs a haircut did you see him
00:01:11.469 --> 00:01:17.989
he looks like a caveman no yeah like you know there used to be those commercials
00:01:17.989 --> 00:01:20.809
where the caveman would be on there and his hair is like everywhere,
00:01:21.489 --> 00:01:24.449
yeah that's what he looked like and then he was doing like the
00:01:24.449 --> 00:01:27.489
post-game interview or whatever and his hair is just like fully in
00:01:27.489 --> 00:01:31.369
his face he's not even moving he like gave
00:01:31.369 --> 00:01:37.009
zero f's at that point he yeah like i get it it's been a rough few weeks for
00:01:37.009 --> 00:01:40.309
you brah but let's let's get to the barber and get a little trimmed up there
00:01:40.309 --> 00:01:45.809
and lined up puka's hair was a little longer too than usual actually both of
00:01:45.809 --> 00:01:48.589
them kind of just need to apparently let themselves go a little.
00:01:49.489 --> 00:01:53.349
But damn the focus was coming back which you
00:01:53.349 --> 00:01:57.409
know what they did that and then some yeah they
00:01:57.409 --> 00:02:00.109
made a huge difference staffer looked like his old
00:02:00.109 --> 00:02:03.369
staffer rams look like the old rams it was
00:02:03.369 --> 00:02:05.969
a fun game to watch unless you're a
00:02:05.969 --> 00:02:09.389
vikings fan yeah i think
00:02:09.389 --> 00:02:14.069
i think the vikings are showing some weaknesses
00:02:14.069 --> 00:02:18.789
i'm gonna say definitely i
00:02:18.789 --> 00:02:21.549
still think they have time to figure some of this stuff
00:02:21.549 --> 00:02:25.529
out but i will say the injury
00:02:25.529 --> 00:02:28.729
to um what's his name uh
00:02:28.729 --> 00:02:31.709
christian darza yes yeah that'll be
00:02:31.709 --> 00:02:35.509
a huge loss for them huge yeah and
00:02:35.509 --> 00:02:38.329
I think they're especially for Darnell
00:02:38.329 --> 00:02:41.709
yeah oh yeah that's what I was gonna say they're like
00:02:41.709 --> 00:02:44.929
yeah he needs him for sure Darnell though
00:02:44.929 --> 00:02:50.389
I think he plays well but he has I don't think he's an elite quarterback still
00:02:50.389 --> 00:02:56.649
yeah I think their defense hides a lot of stuff for him and his offensive line
00:02:56.649 --> 00:03:03.309
has allowed him allowed him time and I think what it is is he doesn't do good with pressure.
00:03:03.589 --> 00:03:06.649
So even that Lions game, like the Lions bring you the pressure.
00:03:07.109 --> 00:03:11.289
Hutch brings you the pressure, right? So he doesn't do great with that.
00:03:11.729 --> 00:03:13.969
Yeah, he doesn't, oh yeah, Hutch wasn't playing that game, you're right.
00:03:15.145 --> 00:03:17.185
Yeah, so I think he doesn't do
00:03:17.185 --> 00:03:20.605
well against pressure, but he was afforded time in a lot of these games.
00:03:21.225 --> 00:03:24.105
But I think they have time to figure it out. And I think Darnell,
00:03:24.465 --> 00:03:26.585
he looks so vastly different.
00:03:27.045 --> 00:03:30.225
Not vastly different. Like, we could see the flashes always.
00:03:30.565 --> 00:03:34.825
But I think he's improved so much this year. And maybe it's the scheme,
00:03:34.865 --> 00:03:36.285
it's the coaches, whatever it is.
00:03:36.585 --> 00:03:42.825
Yeah, I think flashes of his greatness or goodness have been there always.
00:03:42.885 --> 00:03:45.025
Goodness are his best.
00:03:45.145 --> 00:03:51.325
But he this year, I think, yeah, his offensive line, his defense has been helping
00:03:51.325 --> 00:03:53.825
him out as well. But I think he's looked a lot better himself.
00:03:54.945 --> 00:03:58.585
Yeah. So I think there's room to improve even more.
00:03:58.805 --> 00:04:03.705
And I think what he's showing is that he's like a really coachable player.
00:04:04.005 --> 00:04:05.645
He's somebody who can grow and learn.
00:04:06.425 --> 00:04:08.825
Yeah. But the problem is you're coming into the second half of the season.
00:04:08.825 --> 00:04:12.545
So at this point, it's tightening up and looking into the postseason kind of thing.
00:04:13.185 --> 00:04:16.065
Having said that I don't think I'll I agree with you I don't think everything's
00:04:16.065 --> 00:04:19.225
lost for the Vikings I think they can their defense is still terrifying they
00:04:19.225 --> 00:04:20.965
can definitely still come back.
00:04:22.605 --> 00:04:25.385
But there's there's some holes in there that
00:04:25.385 --> 00:04:28.985
if teams are watching the tapes they can exploit now yeah but
00:04:28.985 --> 00:04:31.885
I think it'll depend like how they respond to that right yeah
00:04:31.885 --> 00:04:34.905
like either either they won't and teams will continue
00:04:34.905 --> 00:04:38.405
to exploit it and then they'll just be in inconsistent consistent
00:04:38.405 --> 00:04:41.245
or they'll respond patch
00:04:41.245 --> 00:04:44.185
some of them up and be able to improve
00:04:44.185 --> 00:04:47.525
right so those are the teams that that do
00:04:47.525 --> 00:04:51.325
well right like they're able to adapt and respond exactly like look at the eagles
00:04:51.325 --> 00:04:56.805
last year they never had to adapt and respond because they won 10 in a row but
00:04:56.805 --> 00:04:59.705
then when all the holes finally started showing themselves they didn't have
00:04:59.705 --> 00:05:04.045
it was the end of the year and they weren't able to adapt and respond and they
00:05:04.045 --> 00:05:05.585
were a first round exit yeah Yeah.
00:05:06.045 --> 00:05:10.145
Yeah. Right. So the Vikings are in a tough division. They need to definitely
00:05:10.145 --> 00:05:12.565
patch up those holes ASAP. Yeah.
00:05:13.365 --> 00:05:17.045
Huge non-call, though, for Darnold. I did feel bad for him on that one.
00:05:17.665 --> 00:05:21.065
Yeah. I that was 100 percent face mask.
00:05:21.605 --> 00:05:25.285
Like, there is no way that wasn't a face mask. I don't know what the refs were looking at.
00:05:25.465 --> 00:05:30.425
Like, it's in front of you, sir. His face is whipped to the side as he's pulled down.
00:05:31.125 --> 00:05:35.165
It doesn't get much clearer than that. And it sucks that non-calls can't be reviewed.
00:05:36.145 --> 00:05:40.705
Yeah. It really sucks because I think, do I think that the outcome of the game
00:05:40.705 --> 00:05:43.105
would have been different? Honest to God, probably not.
00:05:43.765 --> 00:05:48.285
However, we don't know now. And so that's something that sucks for the Vikings
00:05:48.285 --> 00:05:50.845
as well. Because we could be having a different conversation and say,
00:05:50.865 --> 00:05:57.845
you know what, they patched it up and Darnell did a crazy play and got it all done. Yeah.
00:05:59.112 --> 00:06:02.132
For sure that got the safety i think the rams
00:06:02.132 --> 00:06:04.792
showing up like they did you know we were
00:06:04.792 --> 00:06:07.672
talking about this last week and i think it kind of bugged me because i
00:06:07.672 --> 00:06:10.512
wasn't i didn't pay attention to what i was saying and that's
00:06:10.512 --> 00:06:13.572
so this is i'm gonna go back on what i said the nfc
00:06:13.572 --> 00:06:17.352
west i think is wide open right now i think i still the
00:06:17.352 --> 00:06:21.172
division isn't like the shite yeah yeah no exactly
00:06:21.172 --> 00:06:23.912
but overall quality isn't there but yeah i
00:06:23.912 --> 00:06:27.372
agree but i think that the nsa
00:06:27.372 --> 00:06:30.412
like i think if the rams continue to play the way they are
00:06:30.412 --> 00:06:33.252
puka and cup keep going the
00:06:33.252 --> 00:06:38.412
way they are i think that they can come up so right now the cardinals cards
00:06:38.412 --> 00:06:42.972
are four and four 49ers are four and four the hawks are actually four and four
00:06:42.972 --> 00:06:49.432
the cards hold the win against the the 49ers right now and the rams are only
00:06:49.432 --> 00:06:51.752
three and four So they're not that far behind.
00:06:51.752 --> 00:06:55.452
They've won their divisional matchups, which makes a huge difference on this.
00:06:55.772 --> 00:07:00.912
I genuinely think we could come into December and even see the Rams and the
00:07:00.912 --> 00:07:04.212
Cardinals battling it out for the division in L.A.
00:07:04.852 --> 00:07:10.412
So that division, I think, actually will be interesting to see how much of a difference this makes.
00:07:11.152 --> 00:07:17.992
Yeah, maybe. But I also think a huge aspect of that will be Stafford's consistency.
00:07:18.952 --> 00:07:24.532
Yeah. And I know he's looking better, but consistency has always been a thing for him.
00:07:27.352 --> 00:07:31.552
I think Stafford does well under pressure.
00:07:31.832 --> 00:07:36.192
I think he is one that, if he has a slow start, can ram it up in the end.
00:07:36.332 --> 00:07:40.412
And if he has the weapons he needs and he has the swag that he had coming into
00:07:40.412 --> 00:07:43.812
that last game, I think they'll be scary in that division.
00:07:44.132 --> 00:07:48.132
Funny story, though, about Stafford. Do you know he's the only one of his draft
00:07:48.132 --> 00:07:53.452
class from 2009 that's left besides a punter in the NFL? Yeah. Really?
00:07:54.932 --> 00:07:57.652
Besides a punter, which I don't know who the punter is and I apologize.
00:07:58.352 --> 00:08:01.312
But yeah, he's the only one who's left. And I was like, oh, that's wild.
00:08:01.992 --> 00:08:05.912
But then I looked at the year and I was like, yeah, that was 15 years ago. That's a long career.
00:08:07.152 --> 00:08:09.852
Yeah. But that was a side note on that.
00:08:11.512 --> 00:08:16.012
That's good fun fact. No, I and one thing I'll say about the cards, though.
00:08:17.009 --> 00:08:21.729
I feel like a lot of people are giving them credit, and their offense deserves it.
00:08:22.249 --> 00:08:30.849
I don't think that they are a true contender because their defense, it's bad.
00:08:31.609 --> 00:08:37.389
No other word, really. It's bad in the passing defense. It's bad at the rushing defense.
00:08:37.589 --> 00:08:40.029
I think it's equally bad in both if you look up the stats.
00:08:41.149 --> 00:08:44.529
The only thing I think is that if they keep winning their divisional games and
00:08:44.529 --> 00:08:49.229
keep their record same as the rest of the team, then unfortunately they come
00:08:49.229 --> 00:08:50.689
out. They're top of their division now.
00:08:51.369 --> 00:08:55.509
Rams make a run for it. Then you've got the Hawks and you've got the Niners out right off the bat.
00:08:55.929 --> 00:09:00.909
So I think that division will actually be kind of fun to see if they can pull it off.
00:09:00.989 --> 00:09:03.769
Because you don't, like you've said before, you don't have to be the best out
00:09:03.769 --> 00:09:08.809
of all of the teams, but you have to, if you can be number one in your division alone.
00:09:09.249 --> 00:09:13.729
Yeah. And they, again, That's true. They do have a tough schedule coming up
00:09:13.729 --> 00:09:16.969
and we'll see how that goes for them. Yeah, also that.
00:09:17.189 --> 00:09:20.569
I think they have a tough schedule coming up and I think their defensive weaknesses
00:09:20.569 --> 00:09:22.989
are going to show up in this next little stretch.
00:09:23.169 --> 00:09:25.369
Yeah, this next stretch will be fun. Yeah.
00:09:26.249 --> 00:09:27.869
Ravens lost to the Browns.
00:09:30.069 --> 00:09:36.469
Free Jameis. Jameis was cooking. Jameis came out all ready to go.
00:09:36.849 --> 00:09:39.889
I mean, he had some costly plays there.
00:09:40.049 --> 00:09:44.929
Not costly, but he had some plays that if that Ravens defense was worth a bit
00:09:44.929 --> 00:09:49.749
more salt than they are right now, could have converted into points for the Ravens.
00:09:50.209 --> 00:09:54.169
Yeah, for sure. And that's Jameis though, right? He's going to have those wild
00:09:54.169 --> 00:09:57.949
throws and just some stuff that doesn't make sense.
00:09:58.349 --> 00:10:00.789
That's Jameis. Did you hear him though?
00:10:01.749 --> 00:10:05.969
When he was interviewed after the game, he was like, there's a white rapper
00:10:05.969 --> 00:10:07.649
in Detroit that I really like.
00:10:07.769 --> 00:10:12.049
And like he said, You only get one shot, one chance, one opportunity.
00:10:14.342 --> 00:10:20.682
He's such a character i love him i just want him to keep playing for the soundbite a hundred percent.
00:10:22.682 --> 00:10:26.202
I'm here for the soundbites but you know what he i broke
00:10:26.202 --> 00:10:29.422
my rule my cardinal rule of divisional matchups
00:10:29.422 --> 00:10:32.342
you can't count them out you never know what's
00:10:32.342 --> 00:10:35.202
gonna happen and a one in six team can come to the hottest
00:10:35.202 --> 00:10:38.822
team in the afc and knock them
00:10:38.822 --> 00:10:41.682
down make them look human because the ravens look
00:10:41.682 --> 00:10:46.062
superhuman these past few games yeah and yeah
00:10:46.062 --> 00:10:49.242
the browns knocked them back a bit the browns do like their
00:10:49.242 --> 00:10:52.182
defense was playing like playing well
00:10:52.182 --> 00:10:56.002
and they haven't always been like that this season but
00:10:56.002 --> 00:10:59.722
on paper they are good so yeah nice it's
00:10:59.722 --> 00:11:02.402
nice to see them kind of take it up
00:11:02.402 --> 00:11:05.282
i also think the ravens this is and this is why i'm always
00:11:05.282 --> 00:11:07.982
concerned about the ravens in the postseason the ravens were also their
00:11:07.982 --> 00:11:11.722
biggest enemy in this game defense missed some
00:11:11.722 --> 00:11:15.142
plays that could have got them some points yeah interceptions
00:11:15.142 --> 00:11:18.302
that were kind of lost by them etc
00:11:18.302 --> 00:11:21.082
i also think they didn't really include derrick henry it
00:11:21.082 --> 00:11:24.982
was a pretty quiet game for him and they need him if they want to browns have
00:11:24.982 --> 00:11:30.242
a good rush defense though so maybe yeah maybe they couldn't get him involved
00:11:30.242 --> 00:11:33.682
maybe the seams weren't open and they were trying something else but i i do
00:11:33.682 --> 00:11:37.162
think i i hear you i know what you mean i think I think you need to keep trying
00:11:37.162 --> 00:11:40.082
with him because Derrick Henry is a beast and can find a way.
00:11:40.222 --> 00:11:46.102
And I think the Ravens need to get out of their way sometimes.
00:11:46.162 --> 00:11:49.122
I think they get in their head. And a divisional matchup is one way to go.
00:11:49.702 --> 00:11:52.622
Yeah, that's all I had to say about that one. Yeah.
00:11:53.594 --> 00:11:59.394
The Jets, another divisional. Continuing to lose.
00:12:00.054 --> 00:12:05.314
Oh my God. And to the pass. And not even Drake May. He's gone out with a concussion in the second.
00:12:06.674 --> 00:12:08.994
Jacoby Brissett. Jacoby Brissett
00:12:08.994 --> 00:12:12.694
came in. And I think the Colts were missing him this week as well.
00:12:14.774 --> 00:12:17.654
Maybe firing Salé was not the move.
00:12:19.054 --> 00:12:25.134
Because they haven't won a game since he's been gone. No, Jeff Aldrich hasn't won them a game.
00:12:25.874 --> 00:12:31.054
They just have so many issues within the Jets that I don't see how they come to.
00:12:31.634 --> 00:12:35.834
No, I don't think they win. I mean, we've talked about this extensively,
00:12:35.834 --> 00:12:38.534
but losing to the Pats was pretty embarrassing.
00:12:39.714 --> 00:12:44.094
Yeah. So they had zero turnovers. They had 20 plus points.
00:12:44.834 --> 00:12:50.434
And they held the other team to fewer than 250 yards. That's only happened in 751 games.
00:12:51.194 --> 00:12:55.054
Have won those games when they had those stats jets are the first ones that
00:12:55.054 --> 00:12:58.034
haven't so i don't know if soleil's also put a curse on them and said you ain't
00:12:58.034 --> 00:12:59.194
winning the season period.
00:13:01.094 --> 00:13:05.894
Apparently he's been calling like he's offered to help like he's called give
00:13:05.894 --> 00:13:11.174
given rogers advice given olbrick advice and he's like i'm here for you if you
00:13:11.174 --> 00:13:12.654
have any questions great man,
00:13:13.674 --> 00:13:19.054
yeah bigger man than i am if i was fired i'd be like here's my answer interview piece good luck,
00:13:19.994 --> 00:13:27.554
escorted out by security escorted out by i forgot about that yeah bigger man than i am,
00:13:28.214 --> 00:13:33.554
to watch eagles bangles was pretty good the bangles were not looking so hot
00:13:33.554 --> 00:13:41.014
they are pretty banged up that defense which was what what was their one saving
00:13:41.014 --> 00:13:46.634
grace yeah yeah but they had They've got some injuries right now,
00:13:46.734 --> 00:13:51.334
not looking so great, but the Eagles have really, they look like they've hit their stride.
00:13:51.754 --> 00:13:55.834
Yeah, I agree with that. The Eagles look a bit more like they've hit their swag
00:13:55.834 --> 00:13:58.054
again and they figured out their issues.
00:13:58.854 --> 00:14:01.534
Sirianni and team have finally come together.
00:14:02.814 --> 00:14:08.994
Pangols just don't seem like they are able to fix their issues either right now.
00:14:09.154 --> 00:14:12.554
It's the same story week in, week out, win or loss. they
00:14:12.554 --> 00:14:15.394
come off slow start off slow and then
00:14:15.394 --> 00:14:18.454
it's the second half or fourth quarter that they try this
00:14:18.454 --> 00:14:24.094
game yes they came out strong yeah yeah this was off but then they weren't able
00:14:24.094 --> 00:14:27.474
to finish it which happens in a lot of the games too they just can't finish
00:14:27.474 --> 00:14:33.914
it yeah for sure yeah i don't know what what that really means for the bangles
00:14:33.914 --> 00:14:38.234
for burrows but like i think this is a write-off this season for that.
00:14:38.734 --> 00:14:42.814
I think, yeah, at this point, it's getting pretty close.
00:14:42.874 --> 00:14:46.734
I think I'll give it them two or a week before I make...
00:14:47.338 --> 00:14:51.178
Your final decision. My final decision because it is Joe Burrows.
00:14:52.178 --> 00:14:54.438
And you know what? Last week, he didn't really have any weapons.
00:14:54.618 --> 00:14:59.278
So let's see how this week goes. But I it's I'm pretty close to writing them off. Yeah.
00:14:59.498 --> 00:15:01.738
I'm kind of giving them a time of death for this week.
00:15:02.478 --> 00:15:06.218
Did you though? Fun fact on my fun fact roots today.
00:15:06.738 --> 00:15:10.978
There were twins playing in this game. Did you know that? Twin brothers from
00:15:10.978 --> 00:15:13.858
Canada, from Canada. Look at that. Chase and Sydney.
00:15:14.398 --> 00:15:17.478
That's kind of cool. what a proud mom moment for their mom i
00:15:17.478 --> 00:15:20.458
know and apparently like all their family went it was pretty cute they
00:15:20.458 --> 00:15:23.838
just switched jerseys or swapped jerseys yeah that's
00:15:23.838 --> 00:15:27.498
sweet that's kind of nice it's a good story yeah in
00:15:27.498 --> 00:15:30.318
a game that i that would be a fun family to be in because
00:15:30.318 --> 00:15:32.998
man would you not let the other die like live it down
00:15:32.998 --> 00:15:36.638
the i beat your ass by this much true true
00:15:36.638 --> 00:15:41.758
they are on opposite sides of the ball yeah also but still team versus team
00:15:41.758 --> 00:15:46.558
they would be on the field together because one's a safety you know i think
00:15:46.558 --> 00:15:51.318
so yes i think so they would be on the field yeah i think i think i know chase
00:15:51.318 --> 00:15:54.478
is the running back but two hours back.
00:15:55.978 --> 00:15:59.198
And proceeded to lose yeah that offense
00:15:59.198 --> 00:16:01.998
looked better way better i'm still
00:16:01.998 --> 00:16:04.978
not completely sold on them because yeah two was
00:16:04.978 --> 00:16:08.278
gone and they didn't really have anybody at quarterback but
00:16:08.278 --> 00:16:13.338
even their defense looked like kind of like crap and like you still have these
00:16:13.338 --> 00:16:16.958
great running backs and they couldn't even get a run game going in any of these
00:16:16.958 --> 00:16:22.538
past few games so yeah Tua's back I'm still TBD on them though because I think
00:16:22.538 --> 00:16:25.978
for on paper they even without Tua they
00:16:26.358 --> 00:16:29.298
should have put up a little bit more of a fight in these past few weeks I
00:16:29.298 --> 00:16:31.938
mean Tyreek Hill was so quiet we haven't even talked about him and
00:16:31.938 --> 00:16:35.758
he's supposed he was ranked number one going into the season correct and
00:16:35.758 --> 00:16:39.578
we haven't even talked about him he's been non-existent yeah
00:16:39.578 --> 00:16:42.518
so yeah I agree with you on that I don't think Tua's gonna
00:16:42.518 --> 00:16:48.058
be their lord and savior but no he might get them back in competition yeah and
00:16:48.058 --> 00:16:52.918
Tyreek did get a touchdown yeah he told us fantasy guys right don't bench me
00:16:52.918 --> 00:17:01.138
start me yeah no it was good Tua slid which was nice so he's not going head
00:17:01.138 --> 00:17:02.278
first into stuff anymore.
00:17:02.498 --> 00:17:06.658
He did a run and then slid down before the defenders could hit him.
00:17:06.738 --> 00:17:08.658
And I was like, I'm very proud of you for that.
00:17:09.978 --> 00:17:13.038
Not wearing our guardian cap, at least we're doing smart slides.
00:17:14.228 --> 00:17:18.748
Hopefully, he keeps making those smart choices. We'll see. We'll see.
00:17:19.268 --> 00:17:22.888
Yeah. I think if he has one more, he's done. Like, you can't even,
00:17:23.108 --> 00:17:25.568
like... I thought that would happen after this last one.
00:17:25.828 --> 00:17:28.608
Same, but, like, I don't know. It's clearly not.
00:17:28.948 --> 00:17:32.108
The NFL needs to have some policy, like, after a certain amount of concussions
00:17:32.108 --> 00:17:36.808
overall, not just in the NFL. You're done. Yeah. Yeah, that's true.
00:17:38.108 --> 00:17:45.948
Texas Colts. Richardson's benched. Yeah. Well, I don't think you can say I'm tired.
00:17:46.708 --> 00:17:52.068
That's why I sat out a play in the third quarter and not get benched. And you know what?
00:17:52.248 --> 00:17:55.648
I'm not like I'm not trying to blame him here because like maybe he was winded.
00:17:55.768 --> 00:17:58.248
Maybe he had like something going on and he just like.
00:17:58.428 --> 00:18:00.828
I mean, Dino Samuel was out there with. I know.
00:18:01.248 --> 00:18:03.528
I'm fluid in his lungs trying to play. It's Gen Z.
00:18:04.588 --> 00:18:09.168
Gen Z don't work as hard. I just aged myself saying that.
00:18:09.748 --> 00:18:13.828
Your fucking ass up and work. It seems like nobody wants to work these days.
00:18:14.028 --> 00:18:16.408
I don't know, but how do you publicly say that?
00:18:16.748 --> 00:18:20.148
Right. You have to know how your team's going to react to that.
00:18:20.488 --> 00:18:25.888
Like I'm tired. Like your O-line protecting you hears you saying that? That's not a good look.
00:18:26.308 --> 00:18:30.528
No, sir. I don't know why he thought it would be okay to even say that out loud.
00:18:30.908 --> 00:18:32.028
I don't think he was thinking.
00:18:32.848 --> 00:18:36.848
Yeah. I don't. Yeah. Like I think he just has a lot to learn.
00:18:37.028 --> 00:18:39.108
He's young and he's a little dumb.
00:18:39.468 --> 00:18:43.568
Yeah. Right now. Young, dumb. Not broke, though. No, not broke.
00:18:44.848 --> 00:18:48.388
Yeah, Flacco, I think it was the right move by the coach to bench him for Flacco.
00:18:48.648 --> 00:18:51.848
I think that's a demoralizing statement for your team.
00:18:52.488 --> 00:18:55.148
Nobody wants to play behind your quarterback if they're hearing that you're
00:18:55.148 --> 00:18:57.948
not putting everything out on the line and you're tired and sitting out.
00:18:58.368 --> 00:19:00.188
However, Texans barely won.
00:19:00.688 --> 00:19:03.168
Yeah. Which me and you kind of did predict.
00:19:04.328 --> 00:19:08.508
Divisional, again, kind of a, we didn't think it would be a huge blowout.
00:19:08.748 --> 00:19:12.448
They lost digs, which sucks for them. Yeah, that does suck for them.
00:19:13.760 --> 00:19:17.440
Cj stroud's having issues yeah it's
00:19:17.440 --> 00:19:20.540
said that's the second year hump sophomore slump
00:19:20.540 --> 00:19:24.600
sophomore slump yeah that's what i was going for they're
00:19:24.600 --> 00:19:28.480
still pulling out some wins here so we'll see yeah i
00:19:28.480 --> 00:19:31.780
mean i guess it doesn't have to be pretty we talked about that with the chiefs you
00:19:31.780 --> 00:19:34.820
get the win you get the win yeah but it'll
00:19:34.820 --> 00:19:37.880
be interesting to see how they do without
00:19:37.880 --> 00:19:40.640
digs there for the year he's gone for the
00:19:40.640 --> 00:19:43.660
year right yeah he's got out for the year I believe yeah
00:19:43.660 --> 00:19:46.940
so that's a huge spot to lose 100 percent
00:19:46.940 --> 00:19:49.800
Richardson I'm at a loss for words over him I'm
00:19:49.800 --> 00:19:54.320
still thinking about that I don't think professional player
00:19:54.320 --> 00:19:59.480
you're a professional athlete how can you just say I'm tired and that's it I
00:19:59.480 --> 00:20:03.400
don't know but like again I think he's young and dumb and I think he like Like
00:20:03.400 --> 00:20:07.540
this is like a coaching moment and how like the Colts organization as a whole
00:20:07.540 --> 00:20:11.960
response to it is going to be huge. Like, yeah, you benched him, but that's not enough.
00:20:12.100 --> 00:20:15.880
Like you really need to like talk to him and like get him to understand.
00:20:15.900 --> 00:20:17.260
It needs to be a teachable moment.
00:20:17.420 --> 00:20:20.380
Yeah, it needs to be a teachable moment. And whether it's Flacco doing that
00:20:20.380 --> 00:20:28.500
as a veteran or his team or the coaches, like it needs to be a teachable moment. Yeah.
00:20:28.920 --> 00:20:33.900
Something like my toddler, you know, when I tell her don't say something like that. We teach.
00:20:34.100 --> 00:20:38.020
These are consequences, but also why we shouldn't be saying these kinds of things.
00:20:38.860 --> 00:20:44.700
Exactly. Yeah. And I think that'll be huge for how the Colts develop Richardson.
00:20:45.100 --> 00:20:49.240
It'll be interesting to watch next week. A little more drama in the Colts organization.
00:20:49.820 --> 00:20:54.240
Jordan loves out for a game. Is he out for a game? At least out for a game. I don't know.
00:20:54.900 --> 00:21:01.000
He's questionable or doubtful right now. So we'll see. I guess Wednesday practice will determine it.
00:21:01.724 --> 00:21:04.184
We record on Tuesday, guys, so that's why we don't know right now.
00:21:04.624 --> 00:21:06.724
Yeah. Let's see. They play the Lions this week.
00:21:07.184 --> 00:21:11.624
I'm okay with him resting out for a week. I feel like they might play him just
00:21:11.624 --> 00:21:14.084
because it's a divisional matchup. Yeah.
00:21:14.404 --> 00:21:17.984
Just more on the line. Yeah, but I don't know if that's going to be a good idea.
00:21:19.084 --> 00:21:22.564
It's still only halfway through the season, so we still have nine more weeks
00:21:22.564 --> 00:21:26.644
of play. Yeah. Or eight more weeks after next week, so might not be smart.
00:21:27.784 --> 00:21:31.584
Diggs we've talked about. Derisaw we talked about. Christian Kirk's out for
00:21:31.584 --> 00:21:32.964
the season from the Jags.
00:21:33.164 --> 00:21:37.424
Sucks for him. The Jags season is kind of also out for the season. So maybe.
00:21:38.024 --> 00:21:39.604
Non-issue. Non-issue.
00:21:39.120 --> 00:21:44.400
Music.
00:21:45.284 --> 00:21:49.144
Players gonna play, play, play. Let's get into it.
00:21:49.544 --> 00:21:52.924
Jaden Daniels, Hail Mary. Play of the year? Might just be.
00:21:53.144 --> 00:21:56.844
I mean, I have some thoughts on this play, but play of the year, quite possibly, yes.
00:21:56.844 --> 00:22:00.264
Like it was just such like wild shot
00:22:00.264 --> 00:22:03.124
but like it ended up working out gets tipped right into
00:22:03.124 --> 00:22:06.024
his hands it's pretty fire and then
00:22:06.024 --> 00:22:08.924
like just the excitement of it all and it
00:22:08.924 --> 00:22:12.024
was a good throw by him it was a really beautiful throw
00:22:12.024 --> 00:22:14.684
yeah really nice throw by him if he
00:22:14.684 --> 00:22:17.484
wins rookie offensive player of the year you can look back to that
00:22:17.484 --> 00:22:21.524
throw as probably cementing it 100 i
00:22:21.524 --> 00:22:25.024
will say though like there should have been a penalty on
00:22:25.024 --> 00:22:28.464
that play possibly because the play on the
00:22:28.464 --> 00:22:31.264
play on the commanders like his
00:22:31.264 --> 00:22:35.044
o-line was just outright holding the chicago
00:22:35.044 --> 00:22:40.364
defenders but i guess guess we're not calling that in the last second you know
00:22:40.364 --> 00:22:44.624
the refs aren't really looking for flags anymore they didn't care about darnell's
00:22:44.624 --> 00:22:49.204
they don't care about these holdings we complained about too many pedal these
00:22:49.204 --> 00:22:52.064
now we're complaining about these car yeah.
00:22:53.703 --> 00:22:57.603
I know. I agree with that. Yeah, there should have been a few holdings there
00:22:57.603 --> 00:23:01.103
for sure. I thought the play was beautiful.
00:23:01.343 --> 00:23:05.303
It was kind of like an old Aaron Rodgers, since we always hate on Aaron Rodgers,
00:23:05.403 --> 00:23:06.683
so give him a good thing here.
00:23:07.123 --> 00:23:10.783
Old Aaron Rodgers, you know, that last minute Hail Mary that you would be scared of?
00:23:11.343 --> 00:23:13.803
That was kind of what Daniels reminded me of.
00:23:14.503 --> 00:23:18.123
I just really love instant karma. Oh, yeah.
00:23:18.563 --> 00:23:27.183
And I think that Chicago Bears, Tyreek Stevenson got instant karma right off the bat.
00:23:27.923 --> 00:23:32.203
He's over there chirping to the Commanders fans.
00:23:32.303 --> 00:23:36.403
He's not watching the play that's going on directly behind him at that moment
00:23:36.403 --> 00:23:40.803
until the Bear fans are like, look, buddy, the play's going on. Do your job.
00:23:41.143 --> 00:23:44.803
And because of that, he prevented Ertz from tipping the ball to Brown.
00:23:45.263 --> 00:23:47.383
Although I thought it was him the whole time that tipped the ball,
00:23:47.483 --> 00:23:50.723
which was even sweeter for me. Well, that's what everybody was reporting for
00:23:50.723 --> 00:23:52.543
a while, like on the NFL network and stuff.
00:23:52.703 --> 00:23:54.823
Yeah. I guess it turns out it wasn't him.
00:23:55.543 --> 00:23:59.903
Which, sad. But you know what? He did not defend it, so I'm still blaming him.
00:24:00.963 --> 00:24:06.843
Fair enough. Yeah. No, that's definitely a player that played this past week.
00:24:07.003 --> 00:24:11.803
I have one that, it's a duo, Sonic and Knuckles.
00:24:13.543 --> 00:24:16.723
So from the Lions we have two
00:24:16.723 --> 00:24:19.563
amazing running backs I would say Jamar Gibbs
00:24:19.563 --> 00:24:22.703
and David Montgomery have been putting in work it's David
00:24:22.703 --> 00:24:25.543
Montgomery is clearly Knuckles and Jamar Gibbs is
00:24:25.543 --> 00:24:29.183
obviously Sonic and they
00:24:29.183 --> 00:24:32.143
are every time both of them get a touchdown the Lions
00:24:32.143 --> 00:24:35.143
are 7-0 go Sonic and Knuckles did an amazing
00:24:35.143 --> 00:24:38.343
absolute amazing job that game was a lot of it
00:24:38.343 --> 00:24:41.203
was nervous for the first little bit because we did not
00:24:41.203 --> 00:24:43.883
play that well the first little bit
00:24:43.883 --> 00:24:47.263
the titans kept it with us was i
00:24:47.263 --> 00:24:50.243
concerned i'll be honest no because i still figured we just
00:24:50.243 --> 00:24:53.103
are going off slow yeah it's the titans we're starting
00:24:53.103 --> 00:24:57.083
slow and man did we come back 52 points so beautiful
00:24:57.083 --> 00:24:59.923
game but flowers to sonic and
00:24:59.923 --> 00:25:02.783
knuckles for making it fun and did you
00:25:02.783 --> 00:25:05.823
see montgomery's pass to laporta i saw
00:25:05.823 --> 00:25:09.143
the highlight i actually didn't watch the game but I guess
00:25:09.143 --> 00:25:12.003
when we're up by 40 50 points we decide that we're
00:25:12.003 --> 00:25:15.063
gonna start having everyone throw the ball and whoever wants to be quarterback can
00:25:15.063 --> 00:25:21.823
go in there Sam Brown's done it now Montgomery worked out for me yeah I have
00:25:21.823 --> 00:25:27.723
Laporta on my team me too anybody else yeah I thought the Bucs we were I was
00:25:27.723 --> 00:25:30.843
concerned about going into this game obviously they've lost two of their biggest
00:25:30.843 --> 00:25:34.723
players godwin's gone mike evans is out for three games.
00:25:35.492 --> 00:25:39.272
I did not think it would be a close game at all. But you know what?
00:25:39.552 --> 00:25:45.192
That Atlanta defense is not good. It is not good.
00:25:45.672 --> 00:25:49.212
It's not. Well, they don't have no pass rush. Yeah.
00:25:49.612 --> 00:25:53.732
They have a decent secondary, I think, but they have no pass rush. They have no pass rush.
00:25:54.492 --> 00:25:57.332
But I also think that when you don't have two of your biggest players,
00:25:57.632 --> 00:26:01.172
like there was a play, I think it was at the end, where Baker threw it.
00:26:01.652 --> 00:26:06.112
And if Mike Evans had been in the end fields, he would have been able to jump up and grab it.
00:26:06.852 --> 00:26:11.052
But because he didn't have Mike Evans, I feel like they ended up losing the game of that.
00:26:11.232 --> 00:26:15.212
But I think their offensive coordinator drew up some really good plays to keep
00:26:15.212 --> 00:26:16.512
them competitive. Yeah.
00:26:16.912 --> 00:26:21.192
And so for that reason alone, I'm kind of giving him his flowers,
00:26:21.392 --> 00:26:25.852
Liam Cohen, because I think he drew up a good amount of plays.
00:26:26.292 --> 00:26:29.952
Baker had a couple of struggles. He had two costly interceptions. so
00:26:29.952 --> 00:26:34.192
it wasn't a pretty game by any means but he kept them competitive and i thought
00:26:34.192 --> 00:26:38.432
that was something that was impressive for sure so those were my guys you got
00:26:38.432 --> 00:26:45.932
anyone and a couple guys both on the niners for one the man who was shot during
00:26:45.932 --> 00:26:47.472
an armed robbery ricky purcell,
00:26:48.132 --> 00:26:53.172
came back and this he was shot like not too long ago i'm forgetting exactly
00:26:53.172 --> 00:26:56.832
when it happened it was like a couple months ago yeah it was preseason so let's
00:26:56.832 --> 00:26:57.992
say like august end of august.
00:26:58.872 --> 00:27:02.092
Yeah and he's already back and playing
00:27:02.092 --> 00:27:05.292
and you know what he played a good game like
00:27:05.292 --> 00:27:08.092
he was catching some good balls and he was playing
00:27:08.092 --> 00:27:11.452
well and what i thought was so cute he brought the
00:27:11.452 --> 00:27:14.412
doctor and like the first responders who helped save
00:27:14.412 --> 00:27:19.892
his life to one of the games yeah he i guess when the owner visited him in the
00:27:19.892 --> 00:27:24.212
hospital the owner of the niners he was like can we do anything to help you
00:27:24.212 --> 00:27:28.052
like support you during your recovery and he was like no like all I want to
00:27:28.052 --> 00:27:32.672
do is bring these guys who helped save me to the game or like it was actually woman I think like
00:27:33.092 --> 00:27:35.872
in the photo it's like a team of women of course it was
00:27:35.872 --> 00:27:38.792
of course but yeah so
00:27:38.792 --> 00:27:41.952
he brought them all to a game I think this is well before
00:27:41.952 --> 00:27:44.692
he went to play so he went with them and everything or he
00:27:44.692 --> 00:27:48.152
was there with them oh that's great I thought it was pretty cute and
00:27:48.152 --> 00:27:51.332
you know what for somebody who got just got
00:27:51.332 --> 00:27:54.272
shot he played a hell of a game in the
00:27:54.272 --> 00:27:58.312
chest got shot in the chest he played I mean even just for a regular player
00:27:58.312 --> 00:28:02.712
he played a really good game but it's just all the more impressive good for
00:28:02.712 --> 00:28:06.552
him and I think he was pretty rated pretty highly when he was drafted too yeah
00:28:06.552 --> 00:28:10.352
he was there was a lot of expectations so good for him yeah obviously you love
00:28:10.352 --> 00:28:13.892
to hear a good story come back 100% and that's a good one.
00:28:14.232 --> 00:28:21.592
The other guy is Isaac Garendo from the Niners running back. Talk about.
00:28:22.691 --> 00:28:27.171
Next man up, the Niners have it on running backs. CMC goes down.
00:28:27.451 --> 00:28:29.391
I mean, nobody's going to be a replacement for CMC.
00:28:29.731 --> 00:28:32.431
That's a whole other story. He is generational.
00:28:32.991 --> 00:28:34.811
But Jordan's been doing well. But Jordan's been doing well.
00:28:35.551 --> 00:28:40.591
And, you know, he gets a hurt. And next man up, Isaac Garendo,
00:28:40.991 --> 00:28:44.691
I think like 85 yards and a touchdown, solid play.
00:28:45.231 --> 00:28:49.691
And you know what? I don't think it's easy to go in when, you know, kind of like on a whim.
00:28:50.191 --> 00:28:53.411
A little bit like you just have a week. You didn't know he was playing until
00:28:53.411 --> 00:28:56.551
the week prior. He has a weak prep, goes in, plays a good game.
00:28:57.571 --> 00:29:02.171
Obviously nice to see. No, that's awesome. And that's how good teams kind of should be operating.
00:29:03.151 --> 00:29:07.311
They don't have it across the board. No, they don't. But on running back,
00:29:07.431 --> 00:29:10.131
they're covered. They got that done. Good for them.
00:29:15.331 --> 00:29:18.931
The Swift Report. On to some league news.
00:29:19.411 --> 00:29:22.811
Man, I have someone. I have someone to report about. Last week,
00:29:22.951 --> 00:29:23.951
we were talking about Jay Cutler.
00:29:24.551 --> 00:29:26.871
This week, Mr. Jameson Williams.
00:29:28.871 --> 00:29:33.071
He, I don't know what he's doing. So he's already suspended for two games for
00:29:33.071 --> 00:29:34.511
performance enhancing drugs.
00:29:35.191 --> 00:29:40.771
He says he doesn't know what he took. End of story. Now, Detroit is investigating
00:29:40.771 --> 00:29:43.951
him because him and his brother were pulled over on a traffic violation.
00:29:44.191 --> 00:29:46.511
Detroit police are investigating him. Yeah.
00:29:47.051 --> 00:29:49.371
Not the team. Not the team. The
00:29:49.371 --> 00:29:53.991
police. They were pulled over for routine traffic, stop, whatever it is.
00:29:54.531 --> 00:29:59.831
And they were asked if they have any guns. Both of them said yes.
00:30:00.331 --> 00:30:05.591
They both had guns. His brother, however, did have a concealed to carry license.
00:30:05.971 --> 00:30:09.311
So the fact that his brother was behind the backseat did not matter.
00:30:10.111 --> 00:30:15.091
Jameson's was underneath the passenger seat. He did tell the officer, the officer saw it, etc.
00:30:15.631 --> 00:30:19.511
But he does not have a concealed weapon license. The gun is registered,
00:30:19.851 --> 00:30:22.091
but he doesn't have a concealed weapons license.
00:30:23.171 --> 00:30:29.131
So he was let go at the time, but now Detroit police are circling back to take
00:30:29.131 --> 00:30:32.151
a look through whether he should have been let go or not.
00:30:32.391 --> 00:30:36.011
Not the worst gun violation in the world.
00:30:36.011 --> 00:30:44.071
And i know michigan nfl in the nfl in this year alone in the nfl but it just
00:30:44.071 --> 00:30:47.191
sucks it feels like you know sometimes when certain things start going wrong
00:30:47.191 --> 00:30:50.991
they just keep going wrong i'm rooting and hoping that everything just kind
00:30:50.991 --> 00:30:53.631
of works out for him and this doesn't lead to more suspensions but,
00:30:54.271 --> 00:31:01.351
hopefully not if it does it does and we're okay hopefully works out not a big deal i mean he'd.
00:31:02.302 --> 00:31:08.842
It was registered. It was registered. We also have a Disney Plus NFL game.
00:31:09.102 --> 00:31:12.742
So going back to last week when you were complaining about all these streaming
00:31:12.742 --> 00:31:15.422
subscriptions and their which games on which.
00:31:15.662 --> 00:31:20.662
I think this game will be broadcasted elsewhere as also, but then Disney Plus
00:31:20.662 --> 00:31:22.942
is doing another broadcast on top.
00:31:23.262 --> 00:31:30.282
This one will be an live game, but it'll be animated within The Simpsons world.
00:31:30.522 --> 00:31:31.982
Which is kind of fun, actually.
00:31:32.362 --> 00:31:35.902
It is, but they throw me off. Like, I think they did one a couple years back. Yeah.
00:31:36.282 --> 00:31:38.442
And they, like, kind of throw me off. I don't know. Well, yeah,
00:31:38.862 --> 00:31:42.662
because it's like, you're still listening to Bart and Homer instead of, like.
00:31:43.022 --> 00:31:47.162
And this one I think they're doing in December 9th is actually your Cowboys
00:31:47.162 --> 00:31:48.842
and the Bengals. Cowboys and Bengals.
00:31:49.722 --> 00:31:53.882
Yeah. So. I don't think they'll watch that broadcast, if I'm being honest.
00:31:53.942 --> 00:31:56.722
Maybe like five minutes of it. Maybe like five minutes of it, but that's it.
00:31:57.442 --> 00:32:02.142
I think so, too. I think they're just trying to get, like, a younger crowd in.
00:32:02.302 --> 00:32:06.362
Maybe like kids yeah it's just like a novelty really like i wonder what the
00:32:06.362 --> 00:32:11.722
numbers are on like the views that's a great question like how many people are
00:32:11.722 --> 00:32:13.162
gonna choose to watch that.
00:32:14.262 --> 00:32:18.142
I wouldn't yeah but maybe
00:32:18.142 --> 00:32:21.302
they'll get some young kids or maybe gen z
00:32:21.302 --> 00:32:24.342
who would rather watch that than actual dac and
00:32:24.342 --> 00:32:27.082
maybe i feel like sam would probably
00:32:27.082 --> 00:32:33.162
like it yeah that's true my four-year-old would enjoy it so yeah maybe get them
00:32:33.162 --> 00:32:36.682
in young and see if that works for them just another way to make revenue let's
00:32:36.682 --> 00:32:42.862
be honest 100 no it's nothing else is paying big bucks to do that probably so
00:32:42.862 --> 00:32:46.762
it's just more revenue good all's just making some money.
00:32:46.800 --> 00:32:52.880
Music.
00:32:51.762 --> 00:32:56.462
All right let's look ahead to some of the upcoming matches we're excited for
00:32:56.462 --> 00:32:58.062
in our ready for it section.
00:32:58.480 --> 00:33:16.560
Music.
00:33:16.408 --> 00:33:23.168
As this will come to no surprise for anyone, a huge game I'm excited for is Lions vs. Packers.
00:33:23.428 --> 00:33:28.128
We go to Lambeau Field, which is always a tough, tough stadium to play at.
00:33:28.648 --> 00:33:32.468
I think Packer fans in Lambeau are some of the toughest ones as well.
00:33:33.288 --> 00:33:38.448
But depending on whether Jordan Love is in or not, and Lions are just,
00:33:38.648 --> 00:33:42.768
without even Hutch, we are still getting the job done and done some.
00:33:42.888 --> 00:33:45.828
So I have a lot of hope for us. it's a divisional
00:33:45.828 --> 00:33:48.688
game so it has a little bit more weight in it a win
00:33:48.688 --> 00:33:51.308
here would mean a bit more i think it should be
00:33:51.308 --> 00:33:54.868
a good game regardless it should be a nice shootout over in lambeau
00:33:54.868 --> 00:33:57.988
field yeah i think it'll be a really good game and it's
00:33:57.988 --> 00:34:01.188
definitely going to be on my watch list for this week divisional games
00:34:01.188 --> 00:34:04.268
are always good it'll be fun yeah and
00:34:04.268 --> 00:34:07.148
i think it'll be high scoring i think so to yeah take the
00:34:07.148 --> 00:34:10.508
over guess yeah we also have
00:34:10.508 --> 00:34:13.228
cards versus bears seeing a
00:34:13.228 --> 00:34:16.128
couple qbs going against each other
00:34:16.128 --> 00:34:19.668
i think the bears are coming off a hard loss
00:34:19.668 --> 00:34:23.108
and they'll be licking the wounds a little bit so i think they're
00:34:23.108 --> 00:34:25.968
gonna come out roaring i think so and i think
00:34:25.968 --> 00:34:28.828
like i said the cards don't
00:34:28.828 --> 00:34:32.168
have a very good defense no but the cards surprise
00:34:32.168 --> 00:34:34.928
me every now and then so yeah again i think this
00:34:34.928 --> 00:34:37.768
one's gonna be another shootout if anything but i i
00:34:37.768 --> 00:34:41.988
see the bears coming out strong here yeah i think they need to answer for last
00:34:41.988 --> 00:34:48.108
week ram seahawks another divisional game i think that one will be fun i'm the
00:34:48.108 --> 00:34:53.828
seahawks played so poorly last week like some of the mistakes they made were
00:34:53.828 --> 00:34:57.568
like oh so awful to watch so we'll see what's going to happen,
00:34:58.278 --> 00:35:02.258
what Seahawks team we get this week. Yeah. It is in Seattle.
00:35:03.038 --> 00:35:06.178
Yeah, it is in Seattle. Wasn't this last game in Seattle too?
00:35:06.458 --> 00:35:08.598
It might have been. I'll be honest. I think it was. Yeah.
00:35:09.398 --> 00:35:13.258
It depends what Seahawks team they get. And I think. Yeah. I think I'm more
00:35:13.258 --> 00:35:15.558
excited for it than rather than even the Seahawks,
00:35:15.658 --> 00:35:21.918
to be honest, is to watch the Rams and see if they can kind of continue on with
00:35:21.918 --> 00:35:24.978
the magic they showed with Puka and cut back.
00:35:26.038 --> 00:35:30.658
And yeah if they make a run for that division i mean you need to beat the hawks
00:35:30.658 --> 00:35:35.358
win this one i think yeah yeah they'll have to win this one so should be a good
00:35:35.358 --> 00:35:40.878
game we'll see how they do colts vikings i'm excited to see flacco,
00:35:44.158 --> 00:35:50.478
i also think it's a big test for the vikings i think so but yeah i think it
00:35:50.478 --> 00:35:53.538
depends like like Like I said, I mean, the Colts, I'm sorry,
00:35:53.638 --> 00:35:57.158
the Vikings have been having a few struggles the last few games.
00:35:57.398 --> 00:36:02.858
I feel like I personally, the offensive issue started in London, coming out in London.
00:36:03.258 --> 00:36:06.578
Did the Lions break them? The Honolulu fever come and get them.
00:36:06.618 --> 00:36:09.138
And that's why they didn't do good against the Rams.
00:36:09.438 --> 00:36:13.818
Can they fix those holes that they have been showing some of those weaknesses
00:36:13.818 --> 00:36:18.978
and kind of bounce back into that, you know, juggernaut talk or not?
00:36:18.978 --> 00:36:21.398
But there's a lot more riding on this game.
00:36:21.498 --> 00:36:25.498
I think if the Colts beat them, then I think the Vikings are in huge, huge, huge trouble.
00:36:27.140 --> 00:36:31.520
I just don't think the Colts have their ish together very well right now.
00:36:32.120 --> 00:36:34.860
I mean, maybe Flacco coming in helps give them a spark.
00:36:35.720 --> 00:36:41.260
But, I mean, I think even Flacco, you know what you got to do to beat him.
00:36:41.300 --> 00:36:43.720
And it's just whether the defense can execute.
00:36:44.940 --> 00:36:51.000
Yeah, I think it'll be interesting to see. I think the Vikings right now are favored by six.
00:36:51.480 --> 00:36:57.460
Favored by six, yeah. Yeah, so I am actually going to take the Colts on that one.
00:36:57.840 --> 00:37:00.140
To cover? Mm-hmm. Not a bad bet.
00:37:00.760 --> 00:37:04.180
I just... Take the Colts. Yeah. It's not a bad bet, to be honest.
00:37:04.420 --> 00:37:07.120
I think it's hugely dependent on how Flacco plays, though.
00:37:07.500 --> 00:37:11.540
Yeah. And whether the Vikings can get out of the slump they've had.
00:37:12.300 --> 00:37:15.300
Another game that will be fun to watch would be Bucks and Casey.
00:37:15.700 --> 00:37:21.700
I think Casey's defense has just been so good. And Baker does have limited pass options.
00:37:22.120 --> 00:37:27.300
Yeah. And I know he did well against the Falcons last week, even with his limited pass options.
00:37:27.520 --> 00:37:30.880
But Falcons' defense is nothing compared to the Chiefs.
00:37:32.240 --> 00:37:37.220
So a little concern there. But one thing I will say is Mahomes currently has
00:37:37.220 --> 00:37:39.840
more interceptions than he does touchdowns.
00:37:40.100 --> 00:37:43.440
So, you know, if Baker can shoot some out and get some touchdowns,
00:37:43.560 --> 00:37:45.980
maybe the Chiefs won't be able to catch up.
00:37:46.180 --> 00:37:49.700
I think that's the main thing, right? One that can be done. And I think the
00:37:49.700 --> 00:37:51.640
Bucs are coming off a bit of a heartbreaking loss.
00:37:52.260 --> 00:37:56.340
Baker saw what his interceptions cost them. I think he can come.
00:37:56.480 --> 00:38:00.180
I don't think they win. I think Casey wins because Casey just finds ways to win.
00:38:00.660 --> 00:38:06.300
But I think right now, they'll come closer than I think they are right now.
00:38:06.400 --> 00:38:09.700
The line's eight and a half for the Chiefs. I think that's a huge spread.
00:38:09.900 --> 00:38:13.480
I get the Bucs don't have all their weapons, but I still don't think it'll be that.
00:38:13.951 --> 00:38:17.511
Far away i say by a touchdown yeah that
00:38:17.511 --> 00:38:20.471
i feel like is a one score game is fine the halloween
00:38:20.471 --> 00:38:24.751
game thursday night air yeah whoo jets
00:38:24.751 --> 00:38:28.151
versus texans not very
00:38:28.151 --> 00:38:31.031
exciting i don't think no i'm okay taking my daughter
00:38:31.031 --> 00:38:33.991
trick-or-treating over this game yeah we didn't
00:38:33.991 --> 00:38:39.351
talk about your boys at all no they got demolished by the niners i mean did
00:38:39.351 --> 00:38:44.591
you see some of dax throws like right into who he's throwing yeah and you know
00:38:44.591 --> 00:38:47.631
what like i'm not gonna fully put the blame on him like that o-line is doing
00:38:47.631 --> 00:38:53.711
him no is giving him no help but i don't know some of those are a little.
00:38:54.371 --> 00:38:58.351
Inexcusable i think so and the cowboys offense is just so inconsistent you never
00:38:58.351 --> 00:39:01.851
know but i'm really hoping like they can at least get something going because
00:39:01.851 --> 00:39:07.011
there's really no pressure from this falcons defense and they need to take an
00:39:07.011 --> 00:39:10.771
advantage of that like they need to take advantage of that.
00:39:11.451 --> 00:39:14.511
Cowboys are just in their own way right now yeah and they
00:39:14.511 --> 00:39:17.691
are just for dak prescott and
00:39:17.691 --> 00:39:20.491
cd lamb to be paid as much as they have been paid for all the drama
00:39:20.491 --> 00:39:24.191
in the offseason for everything that
00:39:24.191 --> 00:39:26.871
went through their offense doesn't show it at
00:39:26.871 --> 00:39:29.851
all no it's not well you
00:39:29.851 --> 00:39:33.051
know what outside of those two
00:39:33.051 --> 00:39:35.971
guys like brandon cooks is out like yeah even brandon
00:39:35.971 --> 00:39:38.951
cooks being out it's brandon cooks like how many other weapons do
00:39:38.951 --> 00:39:41.971
you have other than cd double team cd and and you
00:39:41.971 --> 00:39:45.171
don't you know he'll still get a couple catches here there but you're limiting dac's
00:39:45.171 --> 00:39:47.851
options right there and then but i mean dac doesn't throw
00:39:47.851 --> 00:39:50.791
well anyway so i mean he can throw throw some good ones
00:39:50.791 --> 00:39:53.911
here and there and they have no rush attack to help with help dac
00:39:53.911 --> 00:39:57.271
out yeah they're a little concerning but i think they
00:39:57.271 --> 00:40:00.311
are gonna get good they need to take advantage of
00:40:00.311 --> 00:40:04.351
this falcons defense otherwise there's just yeah I'm
00:40:04.351 --> 00:40:07.271
lost like what else like they let Baker put up 300
00:40:07.271 --> 00:40:10.351
yards and three TDs without Godwin or Mike
00:40:10.351 --> 00:40:13.231
Evans yeah right so if Dak can't
00:40:13.231 --> 00:40:16.771
take advantage of that I don't know what he's taking advantage of yeah I
00:40:16.771 --> 00:40:22.991
agree I I'm gonna watch it to see if Kirko's back to being Kirko chains Kirko
00:40:22.991 --> 00:40:28.211
chains it'll be fun to watch him yeah we'll see if the game's actually fun to
00:40:28.211 --> 00:40:29.791
watch though because could be
00:40:29.791 --> 00:40:33.471
boring could be something yeah not too many hopes on that one folks yeah.
00:40:33.360 --> 00:40:38.960
Music.
00:40:39.267 --> 00:40:43.067
So, Jov, let's get into some predictions here. Running total,
00:40:43.387 --> 00:40:47.767
Jov is 15-9 and I am 14-10 because of my boys.
00:40:49.267 --> 00:40:54.467
They literally always screw you. I think there'll be maybe some upsets this week.
00:40:54.787 --> 00:40:58.607
I think so. I was going to say, I think one of the upsets that I can see happening,
00:40:58.867 --> 00:41:00.587
I don't even know if I want to call this an upset.
00:41:00.867 --> 00:41:03.327
I don't even know if I care about this game as much. The Jets,
00:41:03.427 --> 00:41:07.487
for some reason, are still favored to win against the Texans.
00:41:07.487 --> 00:41:12.527
And I get the Texans don't have Diggs, but the Jets are just such a mess that
00:41:12.527 --> 00:41:14.867
I still think Stroud will go and get the job done.
00:41:15.127 --> 00:41:20.487
Jets are coming off a five-game losing streak, I want to say.
00:41:20.707 --> 00:41:24.387
Two different head coaches, and so I don't really think there's anything that fixes them.
00:41:25.347 --> 00:41:28.327
Yeah, I don't think they're going to get their ish together. And you know what?
00:41:28.567 --> 00:41:34.567
Diggs is out, yes, but... The Pats beat them. I think the Texans can beat them. Yes, that's, yeah.
00:41:35.647 --> 00:41:41.167
We've also got browns versus chargers this
00:41:41.167 --> 00:41:44.787
line is it in favor of the browns no chargers chargers
00:41:44.787 --> 00:41:47.607
yeah honestly i think the browns have
00:41:47.607 --> 00:41:51.727
a shot but the chargers have a solid defense better
00:41:51.727 --> 00:41:55.887
than the ravens yeah and you know jamis is
00:41:55.887 --> 00:41:58.907
throwing some picks he's throwing some wild throws
00:41:58.907 --> 00:42:04.847
and I think the Chargers defense is better they might make him pay yeah so this
00:42:04.847 --> 00:42:08.327
one that really for me could go either way I'm kind of leaning Chargers honestly
00:42:08.327 --> 00:42:13.747
just because I think it's a guarantee that Jameis throws a pick and the Chargers
00:42:13.747 --> 00:42:16.787
have a good defense I think they'll force him to throw some picks and you know
00:42:16.787 --> 00:42:18.567
if they capitalize on them mm-hmm,
00:42:19.641 --> 00:42:22.821
Yeah, I can see that happening. Yeah. But on the other side,
00:42:22.961 --> 00:42:27.361
like, if Miles Garrett and the rest of that Browns defense can put pressure on Herbert.
00:42:27.601 --> 00:42:30.901
That's what I was about to say. Yeah. And the Browns have a solid run defense.
00:42:31.061 --> 00:42:34.361
So, but Herbert's really good at those, like, quick throws.
00:42:35.381 --> 00:42:40.141
Yeah, the quick releases. The quick releases. So, if he gets it off quick,
00:42:40.341 --> 00:42:43.461
like, it really depends. If that O-line can, like, protect him a little bit.
00:42:43.921 --> 00:42:46.321
He has a better shootout chance. Yeah.
00:42:48.061 --> 00:42:50.941
I'm going to go for the Browns. just for vibes i think
00:42:50.941 --> 00:42:54.321
jamis is coming in with some good pre-game chats
00:42:54.321 --> 00:42:57.161
and i feel like the browns
00:42:57.161 --> 00:43:00.101
are just recharged right now i think getting even just one win
00:43:00.101 --> 00:43:02.961
boosts the morality quite a bit so i
00:43:02.961 --> 00:43:05.881
think it'll be i think they're more of the hot
00:43:05.881 --> 00:43:09.221
hand coming into this not that the chargers haven't been winning but i
00:43:09.221 --> 00:43:12.141
think it'll be fun to watch them i'm gonna go with the browns just
00:43:12.141 --> 00:43:15.341
to see how it goes another one
00:43:15.341 --> 00:43:18.041
that i think might be something you
00:43:18.041 --> 00:43:21.101
don't agree with me Raiders first Bengals Bengals are
00:43:21.101 --> 00:43:24.101
favored by seven and a half so they're minus seven
00:43:24.101 --> 00:43:29.201
and a half which I think is a I get it the Raiders aren't a very strong team
00:43:29.201 --> 00:43:34.401
I mean their defense is solid I think like Max Crosby and like that rest of
00:43:34.401 --> 00:43:39.301
the defense room I think Antonio Pierce does really well with his defense I
00:43:39.301 --> 00:43:43.641
just I even that offense just can't get anything going,
00:43:44.301 --> 00:43:49.001
And even his offensive calls, Antonio Pierce's, like, I don't know if they're his calls, actually.
00:43:49.181 --> 00:43:52.581
I don't know who does the offensive calls. But some of the decisions that have
00:43:52.581 --> 00:43:56.901
been made by whoever is making them, I haven't really been a fan of them.
00:43:57.021 --> 00:43:59.261
And we'll see. I just...
00:43:59.927 --> 00:44:03.167
I don't think it'll be this big of a blowout. So I would pick the Raiders to
00:44:03.167 --> 00:44:06.927
cover. I just don't think they're going to pull it out to win because I don't
00:44:06.927 --> 00:44:07.867
see them getting much going.
00:44:08.167 --> 00:44:12.007
Yeah, I don't think they win, but I don't think they lose by seven and a half.
00:44:12.147 --> 00:44:13.407
I think the spread's too big.
00:44:13.867 --> 00:44:17.307
The Raiders have, they're in the top 10 for pass defense, right?
00:44:18.147 --> 00:44:23.427
Bengals are top 10 offense. So it'll be kind of fun to see whether the Raiders
00:44:23.427 --> 00:44:28.407
can kind of come in there and shake up Shiesty a little bit.
00:44:28.407 --> 00:44:35.067
The problem is, the Bengals don't have a run game to rely on, right?
00:44:35.247 --> 00:44:39.407
So if the Raiders are able to put enough pressure on their pass game,
00:44:39.627 --> 00:44:42.827
they don't really have a run game to fall back on.
00:44:43.207 --> 00:44:46.627
And so that's why I think, yeah, Bengals might eke out the win,
00:44:46.707 --> 00:44:51.367
but I don't think it'll be a huge blowout like the odds are right now in Vegas.
00:44:51.807 --> 00:44:55.607
Yeah, no, I don't think like the line seven and a half, I wouldn't go for that. No.
00:44:56.627 --> 00:45:02.447
It could have been like three or four, maybe. Yeah. Yeah. But I get what you're saying.
00:45:03.527 --> 00:45:07.827
I'm not hating on the Bengals. I just think their defense could shut down their
00:45:07.827 --> 00:45:13.327
pass game and they have no rush game. So what are you left with? That's true.
00:45:13.647 --> 00:45:20.087
I just don't see the Raiders scoring very much or outscoring the Bengals, even given all of that.
00:45:21.047 --> 00:45:25.327
Yeah, I agree with you on that. I think if they get Jacoby Myers involved a
00:45:25.327 --> 00:45:28.427
bit more, but that might be my fantasy team over here talking.
00:45:30.387 --> 00:45:32.227
We'll see. Fair enough. Should be a fun week.
