Speaker 1 On today's part of my take, week three of the NFL.

Speaker 1 Maybe not the best week, but we're going to recap every game. We're going to do Fastest Two Minutes.
We have Football Guy of the Week, who's back of the week.

Speaker 1 We're going to get into all of it, including this Sunday night football game that makes us want to never watch football again. But that's what we have to do to get the great weeks.

Speaker 1 But we do have some big games that we want to get through, and some teams that are looking for real, and some teams are looking absolutely terrible.

Speaker 1 As brought to you by when cool, creamy ranch meets tangy, bold buffalo, the hole is greater than the sum of its sauce.

Speaker 1 Say howdy, partner, to new Buffalo Ranch sauce only at McDonald's for a limited time.

Speaker 4 At participating, McDonald's.

Speaker 1 Okay, let's go.

Speaker 1 No place to hang out or washing.

Speaker 1 And then a gambling

Speaker 1 all on the sun.

Speaker 1 Oh no, we're gonna rock it down to Electric Avenue.

Speaker 1 And then we'll take it higher.

Speaker 1 Welcome to part of my take presented by Game Time. Today is Monday, September 26th,

Speaker 1 week three.

Speaker 1 We start in Nashville, where the Titans tell their quarterback Ryan Tannehill, wake up, Aggie. I think I got something to say to you.
It's late September and your team is 0-2. And wake up they did.

Speaker 1 As Tannehill hit his tight end, Jeff, come on, ride that swing for a touchdown.

Speaker 1 Damn, Josh McDaniels, back at it again with the shitty coaching job, as Mark Davis, of all people, is saying, I wish I had never seen your face to his new head coach. Titans 24.
Raiders 22.

Speaker 1 Over in Indianapolis, where Jim Ursa took the top off Roof Bader Ginsburg and awarded Colts fans with sweet, sweet relief as the Kansas City Chief Justices passed away right into the eyes of the sun.

Speaker 1 Pat trick daddy Mahomes got in a fight with his offensive coordinator and said, if you want it, you can get it. Let me throw.
Lil John Taylor put up 71 yards, and the Chiefs lose to the Winless Colts.

Speaker 1 What? Lose to the Windless Colts. What? Lose to the Winless Colts.
What? Colts 20. The Chiefs 17.

Speaker 1 In a battle of undefeateds down in Miami, where the Bills went up against the Dolphins. Old McMike McDaniel had a farm.
They are 3-0. And on that farm, he had a duck.
They are 3-0.

Speaker 1 With a waddle here and a waddle there. And a waddle here and a waddle there.
Old Nick Mike McDaniel had a farm. They are 3-0.
It looked grim for the Dolphins as their quarterback was seeing Tua.

Speaker 1 But after going into the locker room, the doctor said he needed a bacchiotomy. Ken Dorsey looked like a guy whose college team lost as a 26-point favorite to middle Tennessee as time expired.
Wait.

Speaker 1 What?

Speaker 1 From?

Speaker 1 From? From. Vroom? The Dolphins punted a ball into their own asshole and still won this game.
Team of Destiny, people are asking, Teach.

Speaker 1 Dolphins, 21. Bills, 17.

Speaker 1 In Foxborough, where Lamar Jackson used promo code Jake on the Barstow Sports Store, was feeling good after taking a 10% markdown Andrews to the end zone twice.

Speaker 1 Patriots fans are saying, what the fuck? Jones, as he threw three interceptions and in a touching tribute to Nancy Kerrigan, cried, why me? Why me? Why me?

Speaker 1 Why me, teach? As he was helped off with a hurt ankle.

Speaker 1 It was a big day for Irish culture as punter Jordan Guinness Irish stout pinned them deep and Jim Carbaum sent a clear message to their would-be oppressors. Ravens 37.
The Patriots 26.

Speaker 1 Just a heads up before we start the next two games, we've been scrolling Twitter a lot going to bleacher report.

Speaker 2 We're hip. Fantastic website, boom.

Speaker 1 We're hip. In Detroit, where Jerhim Goff went up against Kirk Kazim.
It was a battle of elite skill players, as well as Just Him Jefferson and Adam Feel Him battled against Ahim Ross St.

Speaker 1 Brown and Diahim Swift. The Himnesota Vikings no longer have Mike Himmer as head coach, but their new guy, Kevhim O'Connell, is up to the challenge.

Speaker 1 The game came down to the final minute, and KJ Osborne caught a touchdown for the win. Vikings 48, Lions 24.
Speaking of him,

Speaker 1 two of the greatest hymns faced off in Tampa Bay as Aaron Rodgem and Tahem Brady battled for what could be the final time.

Speaker 1 The Packers tried to pound the rock with AJ Dillham and the Bucs answered in kind with a heavy dose of Lynhim Fournette.

Speaker 1 The game came down to the final two-point conversion as the Bucs had a delay in game and Russell Gage was unable to bring in the two-pointer.

Speaker 1 Aaron Rodgers afterwards implied that the Packers may have cheated with a Jumbotron and we are once again asking for him to be put in prison. Packers 14.
The Bucks 12.

Speaker 1 In LA Justin Hurburt was not him. Good one boom as the Jags took on the Chargers.

Speaker 1 Not only did Cousins have a good day up in Minnesota but it was a productive day for the Christian Kirk down in California as well.

Speaker 1 Teach me how to Dougie Peterson has all the bitches loving him in Duval after a two-in-one start.

Speaker 1 And Jaguars fans don't look up, but Trevor Jennifer Lawrence has your team on the top of the AFC South.

Speaker 1 And in the words of Devin Lloyd Christmas, who had an interception today, you're saying there's a chance. Jaguars, 38, Chargers, 10.
Huh? Huh?

Speaker 1 The Jaguars 2-1.

Speaker 1 That's why they play the games. In the desert, where the Rams and Cardinals tangled, it was Alex Cooper Cup who started the scoring, hitting the cards with a voodoo clam.

Speaker 1 But the game slogged after that into a defensive battle that looked like a remake of Cooper, two girls, one cup gross pool.

Speaker 1 The cards weren't able to reach the end zone, instead, settling for a side of Taters. Matt Taters, that is.
Vietnam Akers with Sai gone for a touchdown as a running back looked back to form.

Speaker 1 The Rams, 20, the Cardinals, 12.

Speaker 1 Standing on the corner, Jameis Winston down in Nola. Such a fine sight to see.

Speaker 1 It's Baker, my lord, throwing DJ Moore. Winston only threw two INTs against the Panthers.
They had no answers.

Speaker 1 And at least the Saints look better than the commanders.

Speaker 1 The Saints don't go marching. Panthers, I'm gonna make this up.
I don't know what it was. 2212.
That sounds about right. That sounds right.

Speaker 1 And that is week three.

Speaker 2 Hey, it's PFT here, reminding you that Boarshead makes game day entertaining elevated and effortless.

Speaker 2 Whether you order catering platters ahead from your local Boars Head retailer, or you create your own spread at home with Boars Head premium deli meats and cheeses, you are sure to impress your guests.

Speaker 2 My favorites like oven gold turkey or blazing buffalo-style chicken, paired with their classic Vermont cheddar or creamy monster cheese are sure to score big and help me elevate my entertainment every time, whether it's for a tailgate or a home gating celebration.

Speaker 2 Seriously, guys, it's a game-changing flavor for every gathering. Boarshead, committed to craft since 1905.

Speaker 1 Okay, week three in the books. We are in the middle of

Speaker 1 quite the Sunday night football affair. It is, as this taping, it is 49ers 10, Broncos 5.
Russell Wilson's getting booed in Denver.

Speaker 1 This is the game that we were promised when Iowa and Ruckers played on Saturday night. It is Punt Fest.
And then we had, of course, Jimmy G

Speaker 1 getting a safety by running out of his own end zone, which we will get to, but wasn't the weirdest safety of the day.

Speaker 1 So that's almost an incredible sentence to say that Jimmy G Orlofskied, and it wasn't the weirdest safety today.

Speaker 2 Well, it's interesting because I would actually rather have a football punted directly into my asshole than watch this game again.

Speaker 1 Yeah, yes, absolutely. This has been an abomination of a game.
And we went from, listen, this is, this is the speech that we need to give people.

Speaker 1 These are the weeks that you walk away from week three and you feel unsatisfied. You're like, there wasn't any

Speaker 1 incredible moments. There were a couple games that, you know, the Bills Dolphins was exciting.
There was a couple moments that were cool, but it wasn't, it didn't have that pizzazz.

Speaker 1 And that's what what I'm trying to say is not every week can be incredible. And it makes you realize when we have the incredible weeks how special they are.

Speaker 1 Because we've just went from the Bucs-Packers game to this game, and I think combined there's been like 50 punts

Speaker 1 in the last, like, you know how they're like in real time, not game time, real time, real lifetime, our lives, there have been 50 punts in the last four hours.

Speaker 2 There's something I wrote down earlier about this game and watching it, because it is... It does, it tests us as football fans.

Speaker 1 Right, exactly. That's what I'm saying.

Speaker 2 I said these are the times that Tribe Men's Souls, the Summer Soldier and the Sunshine Patriot, will, in this crisis, shrink from the service of their league.

Speaker 2 But he that stands by it now deserves the love and thanks of man and woman. That's us right now.

Speaker 2 We're the watchful guardians over the NFL. We're watching this disaster of a football game.

Speaker 2 It's a labor of love for us, and I'm sure that this is one of those games that in the middle of the dark days of April, maybe early July,

Speaker 2 we'll be wishing for it.

Speaker 1 We'll be pining for it. I would die for this game.

Speaker 2 I would probably

Speaker 2 kill most people that I know to get this game on TV in early July.

Speaker 1 And we just saw a shot of Russell Wilson trying to pump up his offensive lineman.

Speaker 1 I just can't, you can't tell me those guys don't hate him. Because

Speaker 1 it's 10-5. You've had no offensive rhythm.

Speaker 1 And he's coming over and being like, let's ride, guys. We got this.

Speaker 1 We're going to do it next time out. It's going to be totally different than all the other times.

Speaker 1 Also, while you're sitting on the sideline trying to catch your breath from running around and blocking and gaining no yards can you please just make sure you shout out runner pass and they're like all right dude come on like let's just go home this is too much yeah um i i think it's time to ask the question big cat who won the russell wilson drew lock trade

Speaker 1 I mean, this is...

Speaker 2 Without Drew Locke, there would be no Geno Smith writing back, right?

Speaker 1 Cooking.

Speaker 2 Cooking. Geno is literally writing back to everybody this week.

Speaker 8 Yeah, he's excited.

Speaker 2 He's doing a rich Persachia, and he's sitting down and handwriting letters to everybody that hated him, being like, yeah, you're right.

Speaker 1 Geno Smith just had his wedding and Bar Mitzvah and also had a kid. That's how many thank you letters he has to write out.
PD, Paulie, people, yeah. Paulie, Petey.
Please.

Speaker 2 All hating letters back. Thank you.

Speaker 1 Thank you for not believing in me because you turned out to be right. But yeah, this game is an abomination.
I don't really know where, like, the Broncos have looked objectively.

Speaker 1 Russell Wilson, bias aside, objectively, really bad and really disjointed.

Speaker 1 And Nathaniel Hackett who hired a operations guy to basically tell him what to do in these big situations which I'm going to give our guy Nathaniel Hackett some credit most head coaches NFL or college any sport really they are control freaks they want to do everything their way Nathaniel Hackett put his ego aside and was like yeah you know what I kind of need some help here because my team keeps getting delayed at games and I keep calling weird timeouts

Speaker 1 so I'm going to give him credit for at least acknowledging the fact that he has a deficiency and he rectified it.

Speaker 1 But now he should be spending more time with the offense and it should look better than five points, which was

Speaker 1 a bomb field goal and Jimmy Garoppolo stepping out of bounds in the end zone.

Speaker 2 Okay, so I know what you're saying about giving him credit for it because a lot of guys would be

Speaker 2 averse to give up that sort of decision-making. Now, a big part of being an NFL head coach is decision-making and in-game management.
I'd say that's probably a top two part of being an NFL head coach.

Speaker 2 But you'll remember that

Speaker 2 when we talked to Nathaniel Hackett, did the interview at Denver, we asked him what the process was like when he was interviewing for the job. What did they ask him about?

Speaker 2 And he's like, they didn't really ask me much about my strategy or in-game stuff at all. Maybe that was a mistake on their part.
Maybe.

Speaker 2 On the other hand, there's a possibility that it could be ownership might have said, hey, you need to get...

Speaker 2 like a special assistant to look over your shoulder and to pretty much tell you how to do your job or else this relationship's not going to work out. It might not have been his decision

Speaker 1 to get that

Speaker 1 guy in. One in one.
And I think Nathaniel Hackett seemed like sitting with him, even though we were with him for 30 minutes, he seems like a self-aware guy. I mean,

Speaker 1 he knows, you know, and like I said, there's a lot of coaches. They get one shot and they're like, it's my way or the highway.
I'm going to do it this way, and you guys are all going to fall in line.

Speaker 1 Nathaniel Hackett's probably like, hey, I have a

Speaker 1 pretty talented roster. This is a lifetime, you know, dream to be a head coach.
I better not fuck it up when I can't remember, like, delay of games and how many timeouts I have.

Speaker 1 So, I still think he's making decisions. It just would help to have a guy who's just watching the game flow and being like, hey, dude, you might want to call a timeout here.

Speaker 1 So, and then obviously he lost a challenge today, which is like that new guy who's firing.

Speaker 2 That's not the new guy's job. The new guy's job, I think, is to just be like, hey, the play clock's going down.
Yeah.

Speaker 1 Like,

Speaker 2 the job of that assistant is essentially to be like Tony Romo on television, be like, and they should watch out for the play clock on this one. Right.

Speaker 2 Just like whisper, hey, Nathaniel, remember, there is a play clock.

Speaker 1 Yes.

Speaker 2 And it will expire if you don't get the play in. Yes.

Speaker 2 So, yeah, it's been interesting seeing this Broncos offense try to move the ball at all. And Russ looks like a bunch of poo-poo out there.
He's bad. He looks like just bad right now.

Speaker 2 He's a steamy poo-poo. And Jimmy Garoppolo doesn't look that much better.

Speaker 2 Now, to be fair to Jimmy Garoppolo, they've gone out of their way to say like Jimmy G was not given a playbook this offseason, and even in training camp, because I guess they were trying to keep him pristine for any other team that wanted to trade him, yeah.

Speaker 2 So you could trade him away, so he wouldn't be able to give away any of their secrets after he left, after he walked out of the facility. But

Speaker 2 he has not looked good. He did have the Orlovsky, which a lot of people are saying, like, okay, the torch has been passed.

Speaker 2 Dan Orlovsky will no longer be remembered as the guy that ran out of the back of the end zone. Congrats, Dan, you're free.

Speaker 2 I'd just like to say, on behalf of everyone, Dan Orlovsky will always be the first guy that I think think.

Speaker 1 And he ran out of the end zone. Like he kept on going.

Speaker 1 They had to whistle it. They had to like

Speaker 1 down boy to Jared Allen because he was about to rip his head off.

Speaker 2 No, Jared Allen did a full gritty through the back of the end zone before Dan Orlovsky realized that the play was over, that he was out of there.

Speaker 1 Yeah, he was sprinting out of bounds.

Speaker 1 It's still called an Orlovsky. It's not a Jimmy Garovic.
If anything, this is actually like, I know Dan Orlovsky, like, it was funny that he tweeted like freedom,

Speaker 1 But if anything, it's bad for him because now everyone's just resharing it and more young NFL fans are like, oh, shit, that happened in a real game?

Speaker 2 Wait, that's happened again?

Speaker 1 Yeah, holy fuck. Oh, wow.
Wow, this one was way worse. Yeah, way, way worse.

Speaker 2 So congrats to Jimmy Garoppolo. Nobody's going to remember that he drifted out of the back of the end zone this game, but there will be a new generation of Americans that wake up to Dan Orlovsky.

Speaker 1 And again,

Speaker 1 let's just get into it. So the first game is Dolphins 21, Bills 19.

Speaker 1 It wasn't the craziest safety of the day because the Dolphins, literally, the puncher kicked a ball into his player's own asshole for a safety. So

Speaker 1 a wild day of safeties. Yeah, it was awesome.
This was a wild game. The Dolphins are 3-0, which is crazy.
And

Speaker 1 the Bills.

Speaker 1 So let's.

Speaker 2 Can I just talk about the butt punt real quick? Yeah, go ahead. Because I feel like since you brought it up, we should get all the butt punt conversation going instead of coming back to it.

Speaker 1 You got some butt punt jokes. Well, no, no.
Let's fire it off. Yeah, let's go.

Speaker 2 I got no jokes about the butt punt. I'm just saying that I was going to do like a little NBA Reddit segment where they come up with stupid rules.

Speaker 9 Yeah.

Speaker 2 What if you punt a ball into your own player's asshole and he goes past the line of scrimmage? And he runs with it?

Speaker 1 It should count.

Speaker 2 Is it considered, but he can't.

Speaker 1 You have to tackle him.

Speaker 2 Yeah, if he makes it into the end zone, then that's just a touchback, right?

Speaker 2 You don't get a touchdown if you score off a punt with a football wedged in your own asshole.

Speaker 1 I think if he's got it in his own asshole and he runs

Speaker 1 the whole length of the field and gets into the end zone, I think that should be a touchdown.

Speaker 2 But it comes off the punter's foot.

Speaker 1 Right, right. But I think that should be the only rule.

Speaker 1 If you get it stuck in there, if you have a live ball for your team.

Speaker 2 If you have internal possession of a football where he counts the same as a forward pass. I'd agree, yes.
Okay, that's really the big question that I had.

Speaker 2 But the punter did show zero awareness on that because

Speaker 2 his personal protector wasn't, it's not like he was lined up in a different position.

Speaker 1 Yeah, they were punting out of the end zone, so maybe they didn't have as much room to work with, but the dude didn't get pushed backwards into you no you just stepped up and you kicked you kicked a live football into your own teammates colon it actually uh proves you know that whenever you have the discussion what are the most exciting plays in sport a buzzer beater walk-off home run a a punt out of your the back of your own end zone is one of the most exciting plays in all of sports because it's just utter chaos because everything is mushed together and you know like all right this guy probably doesn't have a lot of time it could get blocked you could get a safety, he could step out of bounds, it could go over his head.

Speaker 1 It is like very underrated, one of the most exciting plays in sports. And then you get this.

Speaker 2 And then you usually have a punter who's getting leveled at some point over the course of the play, and that's always fun to see, like, a 115-pound guy get ragged off. Helicopter.

Speaker 2 Just absolutely helicopter, and the ball is flying through the air. Yep.
It's a great play in sports for sure. All I'm saying is Jack Fox could never do anything like that.
No.

Speaker 2 And that's our Jack Fox mention of the week. Yep.
But yeah,

Speaker 2 that was maybe the most exciting play of the entire day today.

Speaker 1 Yeah, it was an awesome, awesome. And the picture that came out of it, the guy who just, I mean, I guess he was just ready.

Speaker 1 He was like, he probably said to himself, like, what if he fucking punts this right into his asshole? Like, I got to get ready.

Speaker 1 And he goes, he gets his camera ready because it was perfectly timed where he got that picture.

Speaker 2 It's a lesson to the kids. You don't have to get ready if you stay ready.
Yep. At any moment, somebody could get a ball kicked up their ass.

Speaker 1 Yep, right up their asshole. So, yeah, this game, though, let's talk about this game because I'm not worried about the Bills.
I think the Bills would be fine.

Speaker 1 They do have a lot of injuries in their secondary. I am worried about the Bills being so Josh Allen dependent that he has to be superhuman in games like this.

Speaker 1 So I went and looked it up because I was just curious. So Josh Allen, he dropped back 73 times today.

Speaker 1 And when we were watching this game, we were joking, like they just can't, even when they were on goal line, it's like, here would be a nice time for them to be able to run the ball.

Speaker 1 And the Bills just can't run the ball.

Speaker 1 For whatever reason, they haven't been able to run the ball the last couple of years. And every now and then it rears its ugly head.
So I looked it up.

Speaker 1 Josh Allen, in his career, and this is actually only the last like two and a half years. So it's not even rookie Josh Allen.
In his career, he has attempted 47 or more passes in eight games.

Speaker 1 The Bills are one and seven in those games. So basically, when Josh Allen has to become Superman, they don't win games.
And in those eight games, the Bills,

Speaker 1 rushers not named Josh Allen are averaging 51 yards per game total. So they basically, it's like the strength of

Speaker 1 he has to throw the ball a ton of times, and they can't run the ball. And you get games like this where they had the

Speaker 1 Dolphins ran 39 plays. 39 plays.
It's insane. The Bills had the ball for 40 minutes.
The Dolphins ran 39 plays. And it was like Josh Allen has to.

Speaker 1 It was actually kind of similar to that game against the Jaguars last year where they lost like, what, nine to six? And it was like every play, every game, every snap was the same.

Speaker 1 Josh Allen snaps the shotgun, has to run around, do something crazy, no one's open, and then they lose the game. I think that's what it felt like.

Speaker 2 I think the Bills just can't play in Florida because they had the Jacksonville game last year, they had the Tampa Bay game last year, and they have this one. They are not

Speaker 2 built for whatever that is, a Commonwealth, a state, the Sunshine State. They're not built for the Sunshine State.
They're also not built to win close games at all.

Speaker 1 So they've got 20 straight wins by double-digit scores and they have zero wins in their last six one score games yes so they just can't do it when it's close oh and six when when the game's decided by eight points or fewer and you saw it because it was essentially like the small little things the the not being able to clock it at the end of the first half not being able to clock it at the end of the game uh josh allen fumbled in on his own like 10 yard line that throw that the only throw he really missed all day was the one where it was like a sure touchdown throw at at the end of the game, and he just skipped it.

Speaker 1 A shanked field goal, like our missed field goal that was a 38, like the little things that the Bills weren't able to do running the football.

Speaker 2 I like this conversation because we can say, because at the end of the game, it was definitely a sign that the Bills have not played in close games. Right.

Speaker 2 When I think it was Singletary, right, he didn't know how to get out of bounds, or he had that lack of awareness.

Speaker 2 The Bills are too good that when they win games, they don't get the practice for situational football that you need to eventually be able to win close games against good tours.

Speaker 2 So the Bills need to get less good at football in order to get better at football.

Speaker 1 Yeah,

Speaker 1 and they need to figure out a way to start winning these ugly games because these are the games that you play in the playoffs. I'm not worried about the Bills, but

Speaker 1 it was shocking to see how little they could be able to run the ball. And

Speaker 1 it's also funny because there's always the new analytics of like the pass is so much better than the run.

Speaker 1 But then you talk to anyone who played played, you know, football at a high level, and they're like, no, no, no, running the football is like a lot more about attitude and your team's toughness.

Speaker 1 And you have to be able to do it because you can't just be like, hey, big 300-pound offensive lineman, run backwards for the entirety of a game and block. Like, it just doesn't work that way.

Speaker 1 You have to go forward. So I'm not worried about the Bills, but it was one of those things like, hey, maybe you can't have Josh Allen do everything all the time.

Speaker 1 And then on the other side, the Dolphins are 3-0, and their defense deserves a ton of credit because they basically were like, we're not going to let you throw it deep over our heads.

Speaker 1 We're going to keep everything in front of us. We're going to make you do these long drives.
They made huge plays. They pressured the fuck out of Josh Allen.

Speaker 1 And Tua, who was not concussed at all because they told us he wasn't,

Speaker 1 he totally was.

Speaker 2 I'm praying for Tua's back right now because it looked like a pretty bad back injury where he got hit.

Speaker 2 on the head so hard that the whiplash kind of drifted down and went into his lower back and locked it up. That's nasty.

Speaker 2 nasty you hate to see that it's a it's a classic injury and then when he stood up and he tried to walk it off and he was all dizzy because his back was out of alignment and so it kind of threw off his inner ear because he's got his his pelvis down over here and his spine curves to the side and his brain's on this other side so it was a bad it was a nasty back injury and i hope that he gets better because like a back injury is something that can nag you for a long time yes yes and so uh let's just say this is basically florio has his marching orders for the rest of the week florio's gonna be all over this They're doing an NFL PA full investigation.

Speaker 1 Yeah.

Speaker 2 And I'm going to do a fast-forward preview of what the investigation is going to say.

Speaker 2 Tua, so you had a brain injury, right? You had a concussion, you were dizzy. No, it was my back that hurt.
Yeah. But no, it was very clear that you had a concussion and you couldn't sit up.

Speaker 2 No, my back. It was just my back.

Speaker 1 It was in traction.

Speaker 2 And then that's the end of the investigation. Yeah.

Speaker 1 Yeah. But Tua came out, came back in, didn't play his best game, but made huge plays in the fourth quarter.

Speaker 1 Like, Tua, i i'm a member of tunon but the undisputable fact about tua is he's a winner like he's just a winner he finds ways to win and obviously a team game but he's a winner he beat a quarterback without an oh in his last name for the first time and what he finally did 20 games he finally did it yeah he's checked off the last unbeaten quest on his list i also have a tunon fact for you uh tua through the first three weeks leads the league in completion percentage in the third quarter he's mister third quarter i like it 79 completion percentage in the third quarter.

Speaker 2 That means he's very coachable. He can make adjustments and half the time.

Speaker 1 Right out of the half, he's ready to go.

Speaker 1 This was, though, obviously the Bills get talked about because everyone had the Bills as a Super Bowl favorite to go into the season. So anytime they lose, it's a conversation.

Speaker 1 But I walked away from this being like, yeah, the Dolphins are for real, for real. Because remember, we talked about Mike McDaniel when he has to face adversity, when he has to win the tough games.

Speaker 1 This was a tough fucking game. They had the ball for 20 minutes.
The Bills had the ball for 40. Like they had to dig deep and their defense had to make big fucking plays and they were able to do it.

Speaker 1 And two is a winner. And Jake, would you like to, I mean, 3-0,

Speaker 1 the only undefeated team, the only team that's 3-0

Speaker 1 right now, correct? The Eagles. Oh, the Eagles.
Sorry, the Eagles. Yeah, our Super Bowl.
Sorry. The Eagles and then the Giants are 2-0.
The Eagles are fucking, the Eagles are like 16-0 already.

Speaker 5 Yeah, so last year when the Dolphins were 1-7, I called on the show that they would be 500 by Christmas, and I was correct, right? Because I saw their schedule.

Speaker 5 We can play the schedule game quickly here. Uh-oh.
So at Cincinnati Thursday, that's a tough game. Yep.
If they can win that.

Speaker 2 Now, I've got that pegged as a possible white helmet game for the Bengals. If it's a white helmet game against the Teal or Aqua, whatever they are,

Speaker 2 Dolphins jersey, that will be my uniform game of the year.

Speaker 5 Yep.

Speaker 5 I think there's a chance that after this game, they might be favored in every game until December.

Speaker 1 Give me a tall list. That's when they go to Buffalo.
Hear me out. At the Jets.
Okay. Win.

Speaker 5 Home against the Vikings. Win.
Home against the Steelers.

Speaker 1 Win. At Detroit.
Win. Loss.

Speaker 1 Possible. Possible.

Speaker 1 But they will be favored in that game. You're right.
They'll be favored.

Speaker 5 At Chicago. Win.
Yep, favored. Home against Browns.

Speaker 1 Favored.

Speaker 1 Deshaun. No, that's not Deshaun yet.
That's week 10. No, week 10.
Week 10. Okay, we know that there's a massage place down there for Mr.

Speaker 2 Kraft.

Speaker 5 Week 11, by. Week 12, home against Houston.
And then week 13, they're at San Fran.

Speaker 1 That's a good schedule. It's a good schedule.
It's a good schedule.

Speaker 5 So we might have 11-0.

Speaker 1 Call my shot. 11-0.
11-0. And 11-0, I'm wrong in December.

Speaker 5 I mean, I'm most likely going to be wrong.

Speaker 2 Wait, wait, Billy just said.

Speaker 1 Billy's going to shoot you in the dick. Billy's going to shoot Jake if they're not 11-0.

Speaker 2 I like that.

Speaker 5 But yeah, it is a pretty favorable schedule. Yeah, that is.

Speaker 1 And

Speaker 1 I think they are a very good team.

Speaker 1 It's awesome.

Speaker 5 And they've shown they can win both ways.

Speaker 1 Right. Every way.
They've won a game convincingly. They've won a game with a crazy comeback.
And they've grinded this game out.

Speaker 2 I would like to give some credit to an unheralded member of the Miami Dolphins because we do talk a lot about Waddle and Hill, as we should, and Tua because they're playing out of their minds.

Speaker 1 Alec Ingold. Yes.

Speaker 2 Favorite person of part of my take. I believe he's a low-man trophy winner.
Yes. From when he was his college days, great fullback was awesome out in Las Vegas as their fullback for a couple years.

Speaker 2 He's the Kyle Jushek of the Miami Dolphins because McDaniel's coming over from San Francisco where they have Jushek, and they're using him as like he's not a Kool-Aid man body like Patrick Ricard.

Speaker 8 He's like a barrel drink guy.

Speaker 2 I remember having those.

Speaker 8 And he's got a thick neck.

Speaker 2 He's got a thick neck.

Speaker 2 He's catching balls out of the backfield, but he's fun to watch because he's getting downfield and just burying people on blocking assignments, opening up lanes for like receivers after they catch the ball.

Speaker 2 He's making the field more open. Yes.
And he's really fun to watch. So if you haven't watched Ingold in action, give him a look.
He's one of our favorite players. Yes.

Speaker 1 And yeah,

Speaker 1 I'm buying on the Dolphins. By the way, the Broncos did score a touchdown.

Speaker 1 That was crazy. They actually showed a sign of life with some offense.
So now we have a decent game. Is it

Speaker 1 11-10s to score a Gami?

Speaker 5 Steelers 11, Chargers 10, November 16, 2008. We can get 18-11 if they score and go for two.

Speaker 1 It's impossible to make it seven. That would be a scored force.

Speaker 2 Imagine if we get a live score of Gami on the show.

Speaker 2 That would be probably the most listened to episode of all time.

Speaker 1 Truly wild.

Speaker 2 For all the math and football fans out there, we should also talk about Ken Dorsey.

Speaker 2 Ken Dorsey, after the game, he got done dirty by CBS after the game because they knew that they had gold when they showed his freak out on camera.

Speaker 2 After Singletary did not get to the sidelines, they didn't have enough time to spike the ball. Ken Dorsey got so mad, he just started smashing everything in front of him.
Everything.

Speaker 2 And then once he smashed his tablet, shout out Tom Brady, he realized he didn't have anything else to smash. And all he had was like papers.

Speaker 1 And then he just started really aggressively ruffling up the papers yeah he was the meme of the monkey just throwing shit off his desk because he didn't have anything cool to smash so he just started crumpling papers and just screaming his head off and then somebody like stuck their hand over and covered up the camera and the to protect ken dorsey from becoming an internet sensation which which he was it becomes it became and and and uh you could see like the the coaches in the background just being like whoa dude like take it easy like it was a and it was a real-life andy bernard situation when he punches the wall it's the regular season oh dude he's like and he probably actually turned to everyone's like that was a little overreaction but um and then the the clip went viral of him i don't know when it was it wasn't after the game it was earlier this summer yeah when he goes i'm not i'm not like i don't think i'm a psychopath or anything ha ha ha ha ha yeah he did look like a psychopath he did the uh jeff bezos laugh yeah yeah he laughs he's like yeah i'm not a psychopath And like, okay, dude, if you have to actually say that, then you are a psychopath.

Speaker 2 I'll tell you what, I personally have never said, I am not a psychopath in my life.

Speaker 1 No, I have not as well. So I'm Billy definitely has to.
Definitely has to. Like, dudes, dudes, like, I'm not like a sociopath.

Speaker 1 I've actually

Speaker 1 hear that in my head right now.

Speaker 1 But yeah, it was crazy. Oh, and looks like the Broncos are going to win this game.
Well, there's still

Speaker 1 three timeouts for the Niners. But yeah, Jimmy G just threw a pick.

Speaker 1 Hank just let out a huge sigh.

Speaker 1 Oh, man. And all that booing of the Broncos and all that stuff we talked about at the beginning.
They still didn't look good. I still don't think they looked good.
A win's a win.

Speaker 1 A win is a win, though.

Speaker 2 Don't apologize for a win. Yeah.

Speaker 1 Don't apologize for two and one.

Speaker 1 Okay.

Speaker 1 Colts, Chiefs, next game up. Colts did it.
They finally won a game.

Speaker 1 This was...

Speaker 1 This is like the Aisha Curry.

Speaker 1 I swear it's rigged because this stunk. We talked about it on Friday how much this game stunk, how the Colts were to play, because it just made no sense.

Speaker 1 They looked terrible, and the Chiefs are the Chiefs.

Speaker 1 But credit to the Colts because they won a game. The roof was open.
It mattered.

Speaker 8 It mattered.

Speaker 2 Credit to Jim Ursay. Yes.
Credit to this podcast. So sometimes we are so dumb and so stupid on this podcast that we actually end up being the smartest people in the world.

Speaker 2 And this is one of those rare instances where our stupidity was miles ahead of any algorithm of any mathematical genius out there. I don't care what spreadsheet you're looking at.

Speaker 2 We're the only ones that said we're betting on the Colts if the roof is open.

Speaker 1 Mr. Ursay

Speaker 1 Mr.

Speaker 2 Ursay opened the fuck out of that roof yesterday. I have never seen a brighter stadium.
And in the fourth quarter, they go to Travis Kelsey in the end zone.

Speaker 2 The Chiefs throw pass directly with the sun in his eyes at the last minute. He drops it.
The roof won that game

Speaker 1 for the Colts.

Speaker 2 Also, there was a muff punt on the very first possession. That's another roof turnover.

Speaker 1 So I watched the muff punt because I was like, ooh, can we we give this to the roof? It did look like it was fully shaded, but I'm still going to say it was the roof.

Speaker 2 Well, he's looking up at the blue sky. Right.

Speaker 1 It's Sky Moore. It's harder.
Yes, Sky Moore. That's his name.
But yeah, he's not

Speaker 2 Sky Less, if that's how you're going to act. Yeah,

Speaker 1 that basically was the, like, it wasn't a game, but the Colts couldn't move the ball offensively.

Speaker 1 They punt. He drops the ball at like the five-yard line.
He also had one that he didn't feel that it got down to like the one. Yeah.
So the Chiefs aren't a perfect team. We're finding that out.

Speaker 1 There's only one perfect team. It's the Eagles, but the Chiefs are not a perfect team.

Speaker 2 I'll say something nice to the Colts fans, or to the Chiefs fans, rather, because this was

Speaker 2 a tough game. It was a tough game for a couple reasons.
One, obviously, like special teams turnovers stink, but also

Speaker 2 the extended drive because of the Chris Jones penalty when he just yelled at Matt Ryan. Yes.
I think he just cussed at him. And the referee was like, you're not allowed to cuss.

Speaker 1 And he threw the flag.

Speaker 2 I think the biggest problem with that is it's Matt Ryan.

Speaker 1 Right. We said it.

Speaker 2 You can't cuss at Matt Ryan. Like, Matt Ryan's not going to, not going to hurt you.
He was like cussing at like a Labrador puppy.

Speaker 1 Yeah, we said it as it was happening. I was like, there's nothing that Matt Ryan could say that would make you that upset.
So the rest were just like, dude, it's like, what are you talking about?

Speaker 1 It's Matt Ryan. Like, he doesn't, there's no way that he elicited this reaction from you.
You're way overreacting. Flag 15 yards.

Speaker 2 It's the very definition of, chill out, man.

Speaker 1 It's not that serious. Right, right.
No, as it was happening, we're like, there's no way Matt Ryan said anything bad to Chris Jones. Nothing.

Speaker 1 And any cuss word any any phrase that you could utter at matt ryan gets amplified by like a million because it's it just seems so one-sided and lopsided so they're gonna over correct on you i think they just they just sacked him with like three guys i'm pretty sure chris jones like he laid on him a little bit on the way up kind of pushed him and then he said something to his face and it's like i i was i was actually saying because i bet on the cults i was like that's elder abuse like you can't do that that's matt ryan he's he's barely holding it together i think he fumbled i think he fumbled another two times today he's he's getting to the point he's like uh when your grandparents are so old and you need the big numbers on the on the phone so they can see it like matt ryan needs like a smaller ball because he's fumbled seven times in three games so far he can't he doesn't have the dexterity to hold on to the football anymore you can't do that to matt ryan he's reached the point in his career where he he starts to to flinch and like wince while he's in the pocket before he ever gets sacked like he sees a defender coming at him unblocked, and the second that guy gets free of his blocker, Matt just starts to curl up.

Speaker 1 Right.

Speaker 2 Right. He's like, this is going to suck.

Speaker 1 Please don't do this again.

Speaker 1 The other big play from this game, and I don't, I think the Chiefs, this happens, it feels like this happens once or twice a year to these Chiefs, the Andy Reed Chiefs, Patrick Mahomes Chiefs, where they just get way too cute with it.

Speaker 1 A pretty significant play, fourth and 10, on, I think it was like maybe the 25-yard line.

Speaker 1 They they go for a field goal they do a fake field goal a designed fake field goal where the holder tries to pass to the tight end and it's like dude you have Patrick Mahomes and Travis Kelsey and all these guys if you're going to go for it just go for it why would you have

Speaker 1 a holder a punter throw the ball instead of Patrick Mahomes so they got too cute they got too cute and it's like it makes no sense leave your offense out there and just go for it instead of doing whatever the fuck that was if you're gonna do a fake field goal, what was that, Jesus?

Speaker 1 Oh, my God. Are you okay?

Speaker 1 Was that a yawn? No, the

Speaker 1 Niners.

Speaker 2 By the way, Hank's been on like an all-time night for yawns tonight.

Speaker 1 We're doing a show over here. Hank is just trying to sweat out his bet.
The Niners muffed the punt and Hank just screamed, oh,

Speaker 1 ball. No, that wasn't what you said.
No, you just did not say ball because your team, the team you bet on was the one that fumbled, so you don't say ball for that. Yeah, it was just an audience.

Speaker 1 You shrieked.

Speaker 1 Man. That was funny because your mic wasn't on, so it was like from across the room.

Speaker 1 Anyway, where were we? Very dumb. Very dumb.

Speaker 1 Yeah, yeah, the fake puck.

Speaker 2 Or the fake field goal. If you're going to fake a field goal, put Justin Reed out there at least.

Speaker 2 I think he could probably do anything on the football field.

Speaker 1 And obviously, if they have Bucker, who's still injured, they probably just kicked the field goal, but they don't trust their backup.

Speaker 2 There are a million reasons why the Chiefs were a better team today, but all that matters is the Colts won this game because some fuck shit happened.

Speaker 1 And Matt Ryan led them back in the fourth quarter for a game-winning drive. He's now six all-time for fourth quarter game-winning drives by quarterbacks.

Speaker 1 Jimmy G's got sacked. This game is probably going to end right now.

Speaker 1 Brady Manning tied for 54. Breeze and Raltisberger tied for 53.
Marino with 47. And then Matt Ryan has joined Brett Favre, who should be in jail at 43 fourth quarter comebacks.

Speaker 1 I was looking at the list, and this is just one of those stupid football fans looking at a list, being like, this is pretty cool. Active players.
Matt Ryan, like I said,

Speaker 1 is currently.

Speaker 2 Billy, what the hell is going on?

Speaker 1 Jesus Christ, guys.

Speaker 1 Matt Ryan is currently second in active players behind Brady for fourth quarter comebacks.

Speaker 1 Who do you think is the sixth person on that list? Active players.

Speaker 2 That's a great question.

Speaker 1 I'll give you a couple of questions. No, no, no.

Speaker 1 I want no hints. All right, so it's Brady Ryan 1-2.
Okay, Brady.

Speaker 2 Active players. And then I got to mentally skip past numbers three, four, and five.

Speaker 1 Joe Flacco. No, no, you can say three, four, and five if you could throw him out.
Joe Flacco. No, Joe Flacco's not.

Speaker 1 I'll give you three, four, five. Stafford's three.
Okay.

Speaker 1 Russ is four.

Speaker 1 Carr is five.

Speaker 2 Carr is five. Six.
Jameis?

Speaker 1 Nope. Not enough.
Not enough fourth quarter comebacks. Sixth on the active fourth quarter comebacks, game-winning fourth-quarter comebacks.
Is it Kirk? Nope, it's Andy Dalton.

Speaker 1 Nice guy, Andy Dalton, ahead of Aaron Rodgers. Interesting.
Pretty crazy.

Speaker 2 Yeah, I mean, active asterisks.

Speaker 1 Yeah. Semi-active.
He's active. He's still

Speaker 1 active for his age. His name was highlighted under the active on the Pro Football reference page.
Yep. So it's

Speaker 1 impressive.

Speaker 1 By the way, the Broncos are going to win this game. They got the ball back.

Speaker 1 Who fumbled? Or was it turnover on downs?

Speaker 2 Jeff Wilson.

Speaker 1 Jeff Wilson fumbled. Nathaniel Hackett's now 2-1.

Speaker 8 Just stubbed by his own

Speaker 2 player. Looks like a fight.

Speaker 1 Oh, also. That was a tough win for them.
And Russ, you know, the one time they needed offense all game, they got it.

Speaker 2 What happened with Bienname and Patrick Mahomes today? Did we ever get an update as to what they were yelling at each other about?

Speaker 1 Fiery guys,

Speaker 1 fiery guys. Yeah,

Speaker 2 that's the thing where

Speaker 2 they're going to circle the wagons and just be like, it wasn't an argument. They're just two competitors that were frustrated and wanted to win.

Speaker 1 If I had to guess, if I had to guess, I would say that Bienemi and Patrick Mahomes' relationship is probably not on the best terms right now because

Speaker 1 they got Littlefinger to quote, you know, to Game of Thrones. They got Littlefinger and Matt Nagy, who's now the assistant quarterbacks coach in Kansas City.
So he's probably ruined.

Speaker 1 He probably is telling Patrick Mahomes, like, you should hear what Biennemi says to you about in the coaches' meetings. Okay, there's like he motherfucks you.

Speaker 2 There's some shit going on.

Speaker 1 Yeah, no, he definitely is ruined. He will ruin that franchise from within.
Absolutely. He probably called the fake punt or the fake field goal.
Yeah, he definitely did.

Speaker 1 He has nothing to do with special teams, but he definitely did.

Speaker 1 Okay, so Broncos officially win 11-10. Not a scorer, Gami, but happy for Nathaniel Hackett.
Easy under. Primetime Unders.
Every game goes under now. It sucks.

Speaker 1 Let's go to the next game.

Speaker 2 I like how they asked Mike Shanahan who he was going to be rooting for tonight. And he was like, well, obviously my son.
Yeah, like

Speaker 2 guys. I'm pretty sure that...
My son? Wait, are you asking if I'm rooting for my son or the team that fired me?

Speaker 1 Yeah, right.

Speaker 1 My son.

Speaker 1 I'm going to go with my son.

Speaker 1 But

Speaker 1 he can kind of win either way, right? He can spin it. He'd be like, oh, yeah, the Broncos.
That's nice. That's my team.

Speaker 1 Ravens, 37, Patriots, 26.

Speaker 2 Let's have some guy talk, shall we?

Speaker 1 So I was sitting next to Hank. By the way, if you're watching on YouTube right now, Hank did go to Rolling Loud.

Speaker 1 You might see a sweatshirt or 17 bracelets he has.

Speaker 8 Well, yeah, four, four concert bracelets.

Speaker 1 Dude, was this weekend a movie? That's so cool.

Speaker 3 It was a feature film.

Speaker 1 Academy Award winner. Yeah.

Speaker 1 Hank sat next to me all day.

Speaker 1 It's a great day. Farted on me once.

Speaker 1 It was a toot.

Speaker 1 It was like a dog farting because he looked up and he's like, oh, shit. I didn't expect that to be loud.
Yeah.

Speaker 1 He was like inches away from his asshole.

Speaker 2 He was trying to get away with one.

Speaker 2 When I posted that picture earlier today, it was my Be Real where it was of me and Big Cat. You were behind me and Hank's butt was pointed towards you.

Speaker 1 right at me somebody replied to him was like Hank better be careful pointing his asshole right at big cat yeah no and I mean no stradamus yeah he just I just looked at him was like did you just fart on me he's like sorry but anyway I was sitting next to Hank all day I heard his murmur his

Speaker 1 under-the-breath whispers

Speaker 1 there was some this team kind of stinks talk and there was some he might not be the guy talk i never said that oh i mean we asked you basically after every throw we were like was that a guy throw hank and there were several where you're like uh maybe not maybe not anymore and then there were some where it was like oh maybe he's a guy now and this is again he's gisexual he's going both ways right now sometimes he is sometimes he isn't i could see it a couple times there were throws where i was like oh that was that was real like that that's mac jones but he had a few interceptions that weren't great he got hurt which hopefully he's okay we saw the picture yeah i don't think it's fair to even have this conversation until he's healthy oh okay oh yeah are you going to table it yeah i don't I don't think it's really just inconsiderate, in my opinion.

Speaker 2 Yeah, you know what? You should actually just refer to this injury if he ends up not being the guy. Just be like, this game ruined him.

Speaker 2 This game, he was starting to be the guy, and then the dirty Ravens came out there and just injured him.

Speaker 1 Yeah. What were you going to say, Billy?

Speaker 11 I think I called Zappi would start by the end of the season.

Speaker 1 Bailey Zappi's legend.

Speaker 2 But I don't think he is starting. I think Brian Hoyer's starting.

Speaker 1 Yeah.

Speaker 11 I said there would be some quarterback controversy.

Speaker 1 They have to play, I think their next game's at Lambeau, so they're probably like, hey, we don't want to have Bailey Zappi have to go play his first game at Lambeau against that defense.

Speaker 2 I feel bad for Brian Hoyer. Like, your job, you have the Chase Daniel job where for the longest time, you're just collecting a paycheck and nothing ever has to happen to you.

Speaker 2 You just kind of, as long as you show up on time, and then you're not the first guy to leave the practice facility, you essentially have a job until you're 40 years old.

Speaker 2 Now he actually has to play football at a road game. That's going to be tough for him.
I feel bad for him.

Speaker 1 I do too. I do too.
But let me say this for Hank. I don't think that he's saying that Mac Jones isn't the guy.
I just know sitting next to him,

Speaker 1 there are questions.

Speaker 3 We were watching the Bears and the Patriots, and we were kind of, you know, it was similar to the game.

Speaker 1 Justin Fields is, I mean, we'll get to that.

Speaker 1 He stinks. He stinks out loud.

Speaker 3 Yeah, it's just different.

Speaker 3 I mean, I said it, you know, after game one, it's just different, especially watching the Bills and the Dolphins, two, you know, juggernaut teams that are that are, you know, going to be contending for championships.

Speaker 3 Like, the Patriots just are not there. They don't look like they're there.

Speaker 2 What needs to change?

Speaker 3 Better coaching, better play calling.

Speaker 1 Oh, wow. It is weird also.

Speaker 3 They've had some, all year, they had some crazy third down, third and short where they're just not even passing the ball past the line of scrimmage.

Speaker 1 It also is weird watching the Patriots just shoot themselves in the foot. Like interceptions, fumbles that you don't think of when you think of a Belichick.

Speaker 1 If we had Jules in here, he'd be like, yeah, Belichick is probably puking all over himself because they can't take care of the football because it felt like that.

Speaker 1 Even when they were, they had a chance.

Speaker 1 They were, was it 31-26 and they were driving and there was a fumble after that one. And to talk about the Ravens real quick, Lamar Jackson has been incredible.

Speaker 1 His numbers against the Blitz today, he was 9 for 10, 110 yards, four touchdowns. He just ripped them apart.

Speaker 1 And he did exactly what we were kind of criticizing him for last week in the Dolphins comeback. It's like a good team just gets a couple first downs, ices the game away.

Speaker 1 They got the ball up 31-26 on their own 27 with 5-28 left. Lamar went seven plays, 73 yards for a touchdown, and he accounted for every single yard, passing or running.
He was every single yard.

Speaker 1 Pretty good. Every single yard.

Speaker 2 And the game, it did that thing where the Ravens would take a considerable lead, then the Patriots would cut it to one score.

Speaker 2 So they're always kind of breathing down their neck for at least the second half.

Speaker 2 And it showed a lot of guts for the Ravens to be able to go out there and do that because they haven't always been able to do that to hold teams off as they're coming from behind, especially because their defense kind of stinks.

Speaker 2 Now I saw that I think it was a forced fumble by Hamilton, Kyle Hamilton from Notre Dame, the first-round guy.

Speaker 2 Admittedly, haven't been watching any film on Kyle Hamilton, but I do know that he forced a fumble in the fourth quarter of this game.

Speaker 2 So as far as I'm concerned, he was a great draft pick, and that will stay in my mind until he does something in the playoffs.

Speaker 1 Well, he and he needed that play because remember, the last time we heard from Kyle Hamilton was the one-on-one drill that someone had videotaped from like fan night for the Ravens, and he got burned, which duh, it's one-on-one receiver safety.

Speaker 1 Like, the receiver should win that. Every time.
Every time. And so everyone's like, damn, what a bust.
So this was good for him that he now has that watch. He has a highlight.

Speaker 1 Yeah, because that was my opinion of him from up until that moment.

Speaker 2 So when I'm watching a first-round pick that my team just acquires, I like to imagine as the season goes along, I do like mental clip-outs of highlight plays, and I can start to put together in my own brain what their highlight reel is going to look like at the end of their rookie season.

Speaker 2 So then I can go on YouTube and be like, Kyle Hamilton, rookie year highlights, and sit down and watch at least a couple sweet plays, big hits to let the bodies hit the floor as the soundtrack to it.

Speaker 1 Yes, but yeah, Lamar looks awesome. He's, I mean,

Speaker 1 I don't think the criticism,

Speaker 1 there is really no criticisms you can have of Lamar anymore. Outside of he hasn't won a Super Bowl.
He poops too much. Yeah, and he poops too much.
He hasn't won a Super Bowl.

Speaker 1 But like everything else, and he is going to make so much fucking money because this is a bet on yourself here. Yeah.
And the Ravens' defense is not great.

Speaker 1 Like there is a few, there's another couple times this game where the Patriots don't have an explosive offense like the Dolphins. And it was

Speaker 1 like repeat of last week where it was like cornerbacks running, turning around, trying to figure figure out where they are as guys streak down the field So you know what he's kind of got to do it all so he's probably gonna if he does become a true free agent and they're probably gonna tag him Oh my god after this year, but I want as a true free agent here's what here's what I would do if I were Jeff Bezos.

Speaker 2 I would buy a team name a team the bears. Okay, I would buy the bears.
I'd just walk up to the McCaskies and say hey, listen, old people, here's $10 billion. I'm buying the Bears.

Speaker 2 They have to say yes to it, right?

Speaker 1 Correct.

Speaker 2 Nobody is turning down $10 billion. Correct.
It doesn't matter to Jeff Bezos. $10 billion in buying the Bears.

Speaker 2 Okay, now I'm going to give, I'm going to make Lamar Jackson an offer for the richest contract in NFL history.

Speaker 2 Plus, I'm going to try to throw in like a tenth of a tenth of a percent of equity in the Bears. Yes.
And I'm just going to fuck up the entire process for everyone else because I'm the new guy in town.

Speaker 2 I don't have to answer to all the owners. They might hate me, but so what? I'm so rich, I have fuck you money to people that have fuck you money.
Right.

Speaker 2 So I'm going to say fuck you because that's what you do with fuck you money. Yes.
Then you just get a great team instantly and you win a bunch of games. That is the dream.

Speaker 2 That's what Jeff Bezos should do right now.

Speaker 1 Yeah, and he is trying to buy the Suns, so he has officially reached like you're not just a nerd anymore and a weirdo that we can't trust. Yeah.

Speaker 1 Because any rich guy to that level should have a pro sports team. But yeah, I'm in for that.

Speaker 1 That is my dream scenario. I've been thinking about, hey, Jeff Bezos, like you want to fucking spy on the world and like own us all and have the robots take us over? Cool.
I'm in for that.

Speaker 1 Just give me a couple winning bear seasons.

Speaker 2 Yeah, honestly, I would become the biggest whore for Amazon in history.

Speaker 2 All you have to do is buy the Commanders. And you don't have to pay me any money.

Speaker 2 I will get an Amazon Rocks tattoo if you buy the Washington Commanders.

Speaker 1 Dude, you just have to go, Jeff Bezos has to go fucking like 10 and 7, and I will, on this podcast, every fucking week, just be like,

Speaker 1 I don't think Amazon like buying the Roombas is that weird. I don't think Amazon buying all like the home security systems is that weird.
I don't think Amazon spying on all of our streetlights.

Speaker 1 No, I think that's actually normal.

Speaker 1 They're just trying to get better at their jobs.

Speaker 2 I will say that every week. They're trying to make my life easier

Speaker 2 by installing robot dogs in every police department across America.

Speaker 1 Yeah, this is a good thing. Thank you.

Speaker 2 I feel safer now, Jack.

Speaker 1 10 and 10 and 7. That's not too much stuff.

Speaker 2 Just do it. Just do it.
I want 10 and 7.

Speaker 1 All right, so that's Ravens Patriots. Hank.

Speaker 1 Emergency button, where are we at?

Speaker 1 It's bad.

Speaker 3 It's not. No, I think, again, I think you're going to be very insensitive.
No, I'm until the injury, until Mac Jones is back healthy. I don't think we can really

Speaker 2 make that decision. Don't speak on a man that might go under the knife.
Now, I did read that on his injury report, Hank.

Speaker 2 He sprained his ankle, and he got carried out by like three guys. I think half the team carried him out.
It was like Rudy. And he was screaming and crying on the way to the locker room.

Speaker 2 What are your comments on that, on just the general, the general look?

Speaker 3 You fractured your rib catching a football, so.

Speaker 2 Yeah, I didn't need to be carried away.

Speaker 1 You had to go to the doctor, yeah, but I wasn't crying, I didn't miss a podcast.

Speaker 3 You broke your foot walking.

Speaker 2 I didn't miss a podcast.

Speaker 1 It's it's you know, how much time did I miss?

Speaker 1 Well, he hasn't missed a game yet, yeah.

Speaker 2 That's true, that's a fair point. Well, he did miss the end of the fourth quarter, yeah.

Speaker 3 I just think you're not being not being very sensitive, and these are, you know, these are real human beings that are laying their bodies in the line for the sake of us and for our entertainment, and you should respect that.

Speaker 1 This will also be a very good

Speaker 1 test of whether Bill Belichick

Speaker 1 has still got it and actually believes in Mac Jones. Because if he does, he will just find whoever took that picture and have him killed.
Because that was a fucked up picture to have taken.

Speaker 1 Someone used a lot of pain. Someone got into a spot and like, I'm going to get this and put it out there.
So Bill Belichick has still got it. He finds that reporter and they're going to the gulag.

Speaker 3 It did look like he was dead. And then when the injury report comes out.

Speaker 12 It looked like someone took his internal organs out something doesn't make sense you know you know what i would do if i were him and and they diagnosed me with like a high ankle sprain knowing that picture was out there i'd just i'd have the doctor come in and and do like kathy bates from misery with a sledgehammer just break just break it please just yeah just smash it before i before before anyone can see me in the media the pro football football show is presented by the chevy silverado built for the hustle ready for the game chevy silverado is america's most dependable full-size truck whether you're grinding through the week or gearing up for kickoff the silverado is one ride that's always game ready.

Speaker 1 Next up,

Speaker 1 Eagles Commanders. The 3-0 Eagles.
The best team in the National Football League.

Speaker 1 E-A-G-L-E-F.

Speaker 2 Eagles. This game sucked.

Speaker 2 This game made me question loving football. I love this game.
That's what the Commanders will do to you. Fuck this team.

Speaker 2 I have a straw update.

Speaker 8 Okay.

Speaker 2 So last year, me and Big Cat went down to our last straws together on the Commanders, you'll recall.

Speaker 1 Oh, yeah, I also went down to my last straw. I lost my straw.

Speaker 2 So that's my update. I have my straw.
I have my straw. And

Speaker 2 get Carson Wentz fucking off my television forever. I never want to watch.
He's so it's sad watching him play. It's bad.
It's just sad. And he got sacked, I think, five times.

Speaker 2 Hang on, I have the stats right here.

Speaker 1 No, he was sacked nine times.

Speaker 2 But he was sacked 17 QB hits. He was sacked five times on his first eight drop backs.
That's pretty bad. Got off to a bad start, and then somehow it got worse.

Speaker 2 It was just, it was, it was very sad watching the game. And the only thing, I just started focusing on the fact that we have a new mascot coming out.

Speaker 2 So I'm trying to determine if we want the hog, the pig, or the dog as our mascot. That's what I had to distract myself with today.
It was bad. But I have my straw.

Speaker 1 Actually, I have

Speaker 2 scissors right here.

Speaker 1 And that's that.

Speaker 1 So now this is my straw. Okay.
I have a smaller straw. Smaller straw.

Speaker 2 I have a smaller straw that's pulled down to right now. Important straw.

Speaker 1 Half a straw.

Speaker 2 Half a straw left. This team just sucks.
Congratulations, Max. The Eagles are good.
After the game was over, when Jalen Hurts was walking off the field, this just made me feel like a loser again.

Speaker 2 The Eagles had their security team walk over to the railings of FedEx Field and physically hold on to them so they wouldn't collapse onto Jalen Hurts as he was walking through the concourse.

Speaker 2 That's just, it's really rubbing it in. What a shitty franchise I have to root for every weekend.

Speaker 1 Well, that's MVP Jalen Hurts because we should start that discussion, right, Max? Absolutely.

Speaker 1 I mean, listen, MVP Jalen Hurts. Talk about a guy.
Talk about a guy. Talk about a guy.
Talk about a guy. Through three games,

Speaker 1 he's over 1,000 yards combined, seven touchdowns. I just looked it up.
So he's got 1,063 yards, seven touchdowns. Through three games for Lamar's MVP season, he had 1,035 yards, eight touchdowns.

Speaker 1 So less yards, one more touchdown.

Speaker 1 Let's start talking about Jalen Hurts being MVP candidate, Jalen Hurts.

Speaker 2 At one point in the third quarter, the Eagles had 323 yards passing, and the Commanders had negative one.

Speaker 1 The Eagles don't even have to play the second halves.

Speaker 1 Like, they haven't had to, which is bad. They should actually learn how to play offense in the second half because they scored all their points in the second quarter.
Yeah.

Speaker 1 But, yeah, no, the Eagles are the real deal. I think we all, a lot of people were talking about, oh, the Commanders is a trap spot for the Eagles.
No, no, no, no.

Speaker 1 You don't trap spot Super Bowl contending Philadelphia Eagles.

Speaker 2 And it was just sad because they brought 36 buses down to Landover, Maryland today.

Speaker 2 They filled 36 buses of people in Philadelphia in an organized, and that's not like the entire amount of people that came from Philadelphia. This was one company.

Speaker 2 They were like, hey, we're putting together a package, a travel package, for people that want to go down to FedEx Field. How many people want to buy tickets for this? 36 buses.

Speaker 1 Hell yeah, they were.

Speaker 2 36 fucking buses is just, I mean, and I'm not mad at Philadelphia for that. I'm very, very impressed.
It's just insane. So that's probably, what, like

Speaker 2 3,000 people right there in one trip going down? So shout out to Philadelphia.

Speaker 2 Great job. Bird Gang showed up.
They were loud on the road. It was basically like a home game for them.

Speaker 2 So, yeah, it was just...

Speaker 2 It was a bad day to be me watching football on television for the first four hours. And that's kind of how things have gone recently.
But

Speaker 1 yeah,

Speaker 2 I'm just kind of like I've reached a point where I'm getting numb to it again, which is about this time of year every year. So that's how I feel about the Commanders.

Speaker 1 Can we talk about how good the Eagles are? Well, yeah, you've done that, and the Eagles are good. I'm going to talk about how good the Eagles are.

Speaker 2 And

Speaker 2 I do give the Eagles credit.

Speaker 2 Oh, the other thing that I'm excited about is Brian Robinson, our running back.

Speaker 2 He's probably the best player on our team right now, and he's got two gunshot wounds in his leg.

Speaker 8 Yeah, but he's out there.

Speaker 1 He was out there.

Speaker 2 He was out there catching passes, running routes. So that's

Speaker 2 saying it out loud makes me realize just what a bad state of affairs it is.

Speaker 2 That's our number one guy right now. Yeah.

Speaker 1 Okay, so

Speaker 1 can we talk about the Eagles?

Speaker 2 Yeah, keep going.

Speaker 1 Well, I haven't even started. Devontae Smith is, that was his coming out party.
Like, he was doing everything. He was catching balls.
Everyone's, you know, oh, he's too small to play in the NFL.

Speaker 1 He was fucking catching jump balls.

Speaker 1 He was doing it all. He had like eight catches, 160 yards or something.
He was awesome. A.J.
Brown, they have everything. The Eagles have everything.
They're incredible. And I love them.

Speaker 1 D-line was eating. Eating.

Speaker 1 I mean, I don't have any, I don't, my board's not looking so good right now, but that Eagles Super Bowl futures, I just, I actually go to bed and I just stare at it.

Speaker 1 I like keep it on at night to like keep me up. A little glow for

Speaker 1 it feels so good.

Speaker 2 Five sacks in the first eight plays of the game, eight dropbacks of the game. You know how hard that is to do?

Speaker 2 How hard from both sides like credit to the eagles great job eagles that's awesome you guys are eating yes but guess what we're cooking we're serving you guys dinner i also i i actually feel bad for carson went because he

Speaker 1 he like was just under so much pressure all the time and i think his receivers already hate his guts like you could see it in the body language at the end of the game they were just like fuck this guy this sucks he's this guy sucks they speak for all of us yeah yeah but uh but i still love him and I still believe in Carson.

Speaker 1 No, okay. Get him out.

Speaker 2 There was an interesting thing that happened earlier today, though, before this game.

Speaker 2 Schefter put out a report saying how the Commanders tried to trade for Jimmy G, and they were going to get him at the Combine. Which would have been better.

Speaker 2 Until Jimmy G said, I'm going to have the surgery. Talks fell apart.
They got Carson Wentz. I just don't know about the timing of all this.
It seems like it was put out there by somebody who's

Speaker 2 trying to get under Carson's skin because Carson's thing is like, nobody wants me. I'm nobody's first choice.
So, like, he's mad at the Eagles for that, then he's mad at the Colts for that.

Speaker 2 And then we got him, and we told him that he was our first choice.

Speaker 2 And then somebody puts out a report being like, yeah, they actually didn't want Carson at all right before he's going up against his old team that he's still mad at for not making him their guy. Yeah.

Speaker 2 It just seemed like a really interesting time for it to come out. Now, I'm not saying that there's anything like nefarious about it.

Speaker 2 I think that Schefter just kind of squirrels away scoops in the offseason because like he knew that this story was a thing back at the combine.

Speaker 2 And he just like hides hides them and schedules them to write about over the course of the season so he can drip out old news that's new to us. Yes.

Speaker 2 And so I think this was maybe just a coincidence timing thing that he said this on the same week that he was playing against the Commanders or that he was playing against the Eagles.

Speaker 2 But still, that probably didn't... It didn't help Carson Wentz's confidence when his confidence is as shaky as it can get.

Speaker 1 Definitely not. Max, I'm reading the room right now.
We'll talk about the Eagles later offline.

Speaker 1 We'll just hype each other up offline. Yeah, no, it's bad.

Speaker 1 I just think Carson carson went probably has he's one of those dudes that has a personality that like he can't fix it he doesn't know why he's annoying but he's really annoying to everyone yeah he just can't fix it he like he he's probably tried his wife is probably giving him tips he's probably like trying to take classes on how to be a better teammate and he just can't do it i think he just need he needs to get an awesome dog

Speaker 2 he probably has like you don't think carson wentz has like 17 fucking labradors and hunting dogs oh no that's the thing he probably does have like 17 hunting dogs but they're always like away being kenneled somewhere for training for hunting.

Speaker 1 Oh, he definitely has labs too, dude. But his labs.
Pictures with his family.

Speaker 2 I feel like

Speaker 2 his labs are like trained to be working dogs, and they're not like boopable tummy scratch dogs.

Speaker 1 He definitely has a lot of dogs because he definitely, that's part of his plan. It's like, if I get a dog, people will like talk to me.

Speaker 2 Yeah, it works. Trust me.

Speaker 1 But I got Leroy. I don't think that's going to work for even, that doesn't even work for him.
Yeah. That's how bad his personality is.

Speaker 2 Carson Wentz, nice guy, probably.

Speaker 1 Weird. Maybe.
Weird guy.

Speaker 2 I don't know for a fact that he's not a nice guy. That's the nicest thing I can say about Carson Wentz.

Speaker 1 I actually probably would say he is a nice guy. Again, he just, there's something probably about him that just bothers people.
Oh, yeah. Look at this.

Speaker 1 This is exactly. I like envisioned it in my head, and that's exactly what it looks like.
The three beautiful golden retrievers for his Christmas card. Carson Wentz is a dog guy.
He's tried that trick.

Speaker 1 It hasn't worked. Okay.
Those are beautiful dogs.

Speaker 2 Then be the first person on your block to get like whatever the latest video game. Like get the first, be the first one to get GoldenEye.

Speaker 1 Yeah.

Speaker 2 The new GoldenEye that's coming out, and then make everybody come over and want to hang out with you.

Speaker 1 Right. And then they'll just be like, ah, we don't want to play video.
We don't like Goldeneye anymore.

Speaker 2 They'll be like, you want to stay for dinner?

Speaker 2 I got to go.

Speaker 1 Yeah. Can I borrow? Can I just borrow the N64? I'll bring it back.
Yeah. Yeah.

Speaker 8 Yeah. While you eat dinner.

Speaker 5 Wild stat for this game.

Speaker 1 Okay.

Speaker 5 Last three undefeated teams in the NFL: Dolphins, Eagles, Giants.

Speaker 5 January 8th, 2018, national championship game for Alabama. Tua was the Dolphins quarterback, replaced Jalen Hurts on a TD pass that won the game on a play called by Brian Dable.

Speaker 1 Brian Dable, yeah,

Speaker 1 damn. Crazy.

Speaker 2 I think it's wild. Where is it crazy?

Speaker 1 Where does Daniel Jones fit in here?

Speaker 2 He was going like six and five at Duke.

Speaker 1 No.

Speaker 1 Okay, that is wild. That's a wild stat.
All right, next game, Vikings, Lions.

Speaker 1 Just the perfect Lions loss and the perfect Kirk Cousins check down fest, and then he makes one big throw at the end, like a golfer hitting like a birdie on 18 and being like, Yeah, that guy's a guy.

Speaker 1 And yeah, he actually didn't complete his first completion over 20 yards for the entire day was the game-winning touchdown pass to KJ Osborne.

Speaker 1 And if you watch this game with your two eyes, he was doing check down Kirk, and he was struggling, and Jared Goff was outplaying him. But the Lions did Lions things.

Speaker 1 And Dan Campbell, after going, he went for six fourth downs today. He converted four out of six.
And then they get fourth and four on Minnesota 36 with a minute and 14 left.

Speaker 1 And he decided to kick a field goal, missed the field goal. Vikings go and score and win the game.
Afterwards, he said,

Speaker 1 I freaking regret my decision there at the end, which I like to freaking.

Speaker 2 So it was a 54-yard field goal that they tried. They miss.
That ended up costing them the game. I think,

Speaker 2 Dan Campbell, you should just go for those. Like, yeah, Big Cat said, you went four for six on fourth downs.

Speaker 2 Just go for those because you're in, like, a great position this year where nobody really cares if you win that many games. No one cares if you win.

Speaker 2 You know, you're probably going to end up going somewhere between, like, three and eight wins this year, and nobody really cares as long as your team keeps showing improvement.

Speaker 2 You're in a position where you can just go for it. You can go for it every time, and as long as you stay aggressive, you'll be good.
You're right, though. This was the ultimate Kirk Cousins game.

Speaker 2 I've figured out the Kirk Cousins life cycle. If you're looking at, you know, the circle of life and how it goes around and how how we look at Kirk Cousins, this is the

Speaker 2 naturally beat the Lions at 1 p.m. game.
Yeah. Make people be like, oh, Kirk Cousins, he's okay.

Speaker 1 Next game-winning touchdown in the game-when you have a minute left.

Speaker 2 So it goes, beat the Lions at 1 p.m. Next is probably

Speaker 2 almost beat a really good team at 4 p.m. That's next up.

Speaker 1 Yeah, like go play the Rams or something. Yeah, go play the Rams.
And go duel with Matthew Stafford.

Speaker 2 And then maybe your defense gives up a late touchdown or something. You almost beat the Rams.
Next up, you have Mow Your Lawn because he's probably like a big home dad guy, probably mows his own lawn.

Speaker 2 Next up, we have, I'm going to go with beat a good team at 4 p.m.

Speaker 2 And then next up, we have get blown out in prime time. Yeah.
And then after that, beat the Lions again. Yeah.
That's the life cycle of Kirk Cousins.

Speaker 1 I'm completely secure. I know the Kirk Cousins defenders will come after us.
They always do. They always have their stats.
And he's the guy.

Speaker 1 And they always just be like, well, he's better than any Bears quarterback ever. That's such a low bar, and it's not even an insult.
It's like, yeah, of course he is.

Speaker 1 He still is Kirk Cousins, and he still, when shit goes wrong, will just be staring at his offensive lineman's ass and doing check down after check down.

Speaker 1 But he won the game, so I'm going to give him credit. And he is better than, I don't know,

Speaker 1 16 other quarterbacks, probably. I don't know.
I don't know where

Speaker 1 they're exactly right.

Speaker 1 He's 15th. And when he's bad, he's 16th.

Speaker 2 Also, the Lions blew 10-point leads twice in this game. It's kind of tough to do.
But again, like, the spin zone for the Lions, you're good enough to get a 10-point lead twice against the Vikings.

Speaker 1 It was brutal, though, because Dan Campbell, like, the one thing he can't do is

Speaker 2 he was being himself.

Speaker 1 He was being aggressive.

Speaker 1 So they went for

Speaker 1 on fourth down twice on one touchdown drive. They went for it on a fourth and five on a different touchdown drive.
So, like I said, they were going for it. They were being aggressive.

Speaker 1 And then you get to that point and you're like, dude, just do what you've been doing. Go for it.
Win this game right now. And he just reverted into like a coach that plays scared.
And it sucks.

Speaker 1 You could see in his face after. He's like, I don't know what the fuck I was doing.
I freaking hate it. He said, I freaking hate it for these guys.
And Jared actually said afterwards, he's like,

Speaker 1 I trust my coach, but I actually probably should have campaigned for us because if I had a little bit harder, he probably would have left us out on the field.

Speaker 2 Yeah, I mean, that happens a lot with like when you see Harbaugh and Lamar Jackson. He always asks Lamar, like, do you want to go for it?

Speaker 2 And I think Harbaugh just asked Lamar that, hoping that he will say yes every time.

Speaker 2 Sometimes the coach just wants to be talked into being aggressive because then afterwards, it's easier for them to be like, yeah, you know, I got together with Jared and we wanted to go for it.

Speaker 2 So we went for it. Right.
You kind of spread the blame around for both being too aggressive, which I think if you're the lines, you can afford to do that. You can be aggressive all the time.

Speaker 2 And so, like, even the on-side kick stuff that he does sometimes, I don't mind any of that. Like, you're just trying to change the direction of a franchise.

Speaker 2 Just go ahead, do all the aggressive stuff, try the weird stuff that maybe the stat people tell you not to, like experiment, really get out there with football, really explore the football field.

Speaker 1 Yes, yes. So I still think the Lions are like they're maybe good.

Speaker 1 They're above frisky for me.

Speaker 1 I think they're goodish. Yeah, and the Vikings are a good team, but I...
We all know where they'll end up. Like, that's the thing is that that's what would drive me nuts.

Speaker 1 And I think there are some Vikings fans that are definitely in this camp.

Speaker 1 What I'm about to say is they are good enough to give you some good wins, give you some happiness, but you know the ending to this movie. You've seen the movie.
You know exactly how it ends.

Speaker 1 If you're a Vikings fan, the good guys, your own team doesn't win. They don't win in the end.

Speaker 2 I think I'd rather be perpetually disappointed with zero expectations than

Speaker 2 have an outside chance of being great and never getting close to it.

Speaker 1 Yeah, because you can convince yourself if you're a Vikings fan, like if a couple guys get injured on other teams and like things break our way and Kirk plays the game of his life in the divisional round and then the defense stands up in the championship game, then boom, we're in the fucking Super Bowl.

Speaker 1 But come on, we all know. We know what's going to happen.
We know, and we know, we know. And they're, again, they're a pretty good team, but it's still Kirk Cousins.
Yeah, they're goodish.

Speaker 1 Yeah, they're good-ish. All right, next up: Bears 23, Texans 20.

Speaker 1 Justin Fields, he's bad. I'll just say it.
He's bad. And actually, I don't even have to say it myself because he said it.
He said he played like ass. He played like trash.

Speaker 1 So he actually was able to take the words out of my mouth and just do it for me.

Speaker 1 Yeah, that's a problem. That's a two-in-one team that is.

Speaker 1 I actually think, remember the year when they started 3-0, and I was like, I'm not going to apologize? I will apologize for 2-1. This is a bad 2-in-1 Bears team.

Speaker 2 I don't know how they're 2-1, to be honest with you. There was the game against San Francisco, which was in the rain.

Speaker 1 And the Texans aren't that good.

Speaker 2 And really, the Bears don't really have a quarterback. And I don't mean like is Justin Fields good.
I mean, they're not really using him like a quarterback. Dude, they're using him.

Speaker 2 You guys have installed the Taysom Hill offense for Justin Fields.

Speaker 1 So

Speaker 1 the Bears through three weeks have completed 23 passes. Through three weeks, they've completed 20.
Max, I don't appreciate this laughing that you're doing. That's not nice.

Speaker 1 Pardon me, it's Philly Dan this year for my Eagles Super Bowl. That's really fucked up.

Speaker 1 He's just giggling to himself. 23 completed passes.
That hasn't been done since 1978. The Tampa Bay Buccaneers that completed 21 passes in the first three weeks.

Speaker 1 Here's where this stack gets really, really morbid and sad. I looked it up.
1978, Tampa Bay Buccaneers.

Speaker 1 They had like a weird three-man rotation of quarterbacks in those first three weeks, but one of them was a guy named Gary Huff, who was a failed Bears quarterback before he was a Tampa Bay Buccaneers quarterback.

Speaker 1 And for the Bears, he was 5-17 with 12 touchdowns and 34 interceptions.

Speaker 1 So it's like history is just in a sick fucking way repeating itself where there's a terrible Bears quarterback link to this abysmal stat of a lack of completions through three games.

Speaker 1 And then you fast forward to today, and Justin Fields has 23 completions through three games. It's shocking.
And there, he is.

Speaker 1 Here's what really hurts. I'm going to get real for a sec.

Speaker 1 I think he's actually taken over for the Josh Rosen stat line.

Speaker 1 It hurts so bad.

Speaker 2 It's not as bad.

Speaker 1 8 for 17 for 160 yards.

Speaker 2 It's not as bad.

Speaker 2 It's 106 yards.

Speaker 1 106 yards and two interceptions.

Speaker 2 That's really bad. It's pretty bad.
8 for 17. Josh Rosen, I would say, you're in the neighborhood.
I would say Josh Rosen would be like 9 for 20 for 99 yards.

Speaker 2 And he did also have like 50 yards rushing. He had one six scramble.

Speaker 1 He did. He does do those six scrambles.
You're like, oh, cool. But he

Speaker 1 maybe

Speaker 1 he is a nice guy. I'm rooting for him still.
I'm not going to give up, but it's been a disaster year two when it's supposed to be getting better.

Speaker 1 And yes, there will be people like he doesn't have a great offensive line. I think it's actually better than people give it credit for because it can run the ball.

Speaker 1 He does not have weapons, but there's still just like a lack of vision and just anticipation, all these things.

Speaker 2 You have cap space, though.

Speaker 1 We do have cap space.

Speaker 2 We have cap space coming.

Speaker 1 We should use it all in Roquan Smith because he basically won this game. He was all over the field.
He had 16 tackles and an interception, just fucking exploding on dudes.

Speaker 1 And Khalil Herbert, shout out to our good friend Tom Fernelli. Hank, you might have had this take, but

Speaker 1 Tom just like will text constantly about the Bears, and he has been saying for a year and a half that Khalil Herbert is a better fit for this system than David Montgomery.

Speaker 1 So today was his day because David Montgomery unfortunately got hurt and Khalil Herbert was insane. 150 yards, crazy, two touchdowns.
Textons are bad. Bears are bad.
Justin Fields is making me sad.

Speaker 1 There's a summary. That's about it.
That's it. That's a perfect ending.

Speaker 2 I don't really have anything else to contribute about this game because it wasn't on the Red Zone channel ever.

Speaker 1 And

Speaker 2 we had it on the quad box. Yeah.
And I think they mercifully even just cut out the feed a couple times and wouldn't even show that to us.

Speaker 1 Yeah, shout out me. I was like, listen, I know no one wants to watch this game.

Speaker 1 I'm going to figure out a way to put it on the quad box so I can just squint at it and hope that I can, you know, see something that I like. And I didn't see anything I liked.
They won the game.

Speaker 1 They're 2-1. I apologize for 2-1.
Justin Fields, again, has made me Gary Huff. We're talking about fucking Gary Huff.
23 passes completed in three weeks. That is so hard to do.

Speaker 2 It's very difficult.

Speaker 1 That's insane.

Speaker 2 23 passes and three.

Speaker 1 They're averaging, what would that be like?

Speaker 2 7.333 completions per game?

Speaker 2 That is the Taysom Hill offense. I'm pretty sure Tim Tebow had those type of stats when he was playing.

Speaker 1 It's a complete, complete catastrophe. I'm just looking it up.
Yeah, Jimmy G, who played not great tonight, had 18 in one game. Russ, who didn't play well tonight, had 20 in one game.
It's hard.

Speaker 1 It's hard not to complete passes.

Speaker 1 It's hard to have incompletions in today's NFL. Everyone completes passes.
That's all they do, except the Bears.

Speaker 1 All right, let's do a quick word from one of our sponsors, then we'll get to a couple more games.

Speaker 13 Fall's here, kids are back in school, vacations are over, and cozy season is officially on. You know what that means? Bombus season is on.

Speaker 1 Okay, Titans Raiders.

Speaker 1 Good job by the Titans.

Speaker 1 This was such a Vrabel game. Like, the Titans are never going to be as bad as everyone writes them to be because Mike Vrabel is such a good coach.

Speaker 1 And the Raiders are the only 0-3 team in the NFL.

Speaker 2 So I think the Raiders might be one of the better 0-3 teams that we've seen in a while, though.

Speaker 1 They're the only one.

Speaker 2 They're beating the Cardinals pretty handily last week. Yeah.
And they were competitive in this game.

Speaker 1 Well, I actually have a fun stat.

Speaker 2 I don't think they're as bad as 3-0 implies they are, but they're certainly not good.

Speaker 1 I have a fun stat. This is done by myself.
So this is my own. If I did the math wrong, whatever, forgive me.
I'm not a math guy. So I was thinking about it because the Raiders,

Speaker 1 in their three games, they have just decided to play a great half and a terrible half. It's literally been the MO.
They started week one, they played a terrible half against the Chargers.

Speaker 1 Second half, they tried to come back, fell short. Week two, played an insanely good half against the Cardinals in the first half, just shit the bed in the second half.
This week, same thing.

Speaker 1 The Titans kicked their ass in the first half. The Raiders tried to come back, end up losing because they can't get a two-point conversion.

Speaker 1 So if you take the bad half Raiders, they played three games, so six halves total. If you take the bad half-raiders, so half of those halves, right?

Speaker 1 Three halves. Three halves total.
If you take half of those half half. They're halves, yes.

Speaker 1 They are outscoring their opponents 70 to 16. If you take, or sorry, if you, yeah, that's the bad half raiders.
They're getting outscored 70 to 16.

Speaker 1 The bad half raiders. And if you take the good half raiders, they're outscoring their opponents 48 to 7.
That's how lopsided it is.

Speaker 1 It's just basically they decide one half, they're going to play well, and the other half, they're going to suck. You don't know which half it's going to be and it ends up with 0-3.

Speaker 2 This game looked like just an eyeball test. It just looked like the Titans kind of kicked their ass.

Speaker 1 Well, in the beginning, yeah.

Speaker 2 They just looked like a tougher team.

Speaker 2 Even when the Raiders were playing well, I was still thinking to myself, like, the Titans are, they're just beating the shit out of the Raiders right now, just like from a physical standpoint.

Speaker 2 And that's what, I think that's what Mike Vrabel does when his back's against the wall. He's like, let's just get into a fight.

Speaker 2 Let's just fight in between the whistles out there and try to win the game.

Speaker 1 But they shut him out. The The Raiders shut them out in the second half.

Speaker 1 They just can't figure out how to play a full game. It's crazy.
It's crazy to watch.

Speaker 2 So I'm looking at the box score right here.

Speaker 1 24-22.

Speaker 2 I'm trying to look at the second half split in terms of the play calling for the

Speaker 1 type.

Speaker 1 Franc threw a pick. He fumbled.

Speaker 2 It also felt like they were trying to bleed the clock out in the second half a lot.

Speaker 2 They were kind of taking their foot off the gas, but just in a way way where they're like, we're just going to dedicate ourselves to just like beating you up up front and just like get our guys going downhill.

Speaker 1 But they, but they actually were playing poorly. Like the Titans were playing poorly in the second half.

Speaker 1 Tannehill was beating Tannehill. Yeah.
The Raiders were

Speaker 1 scratching and clawing. Mac Collins, shout out Mac Hollins, looked awesome.
He's actually been awesome to start the season.

Speaker 1 But yeah, the Raiders just can't, they're Jekyll and Hyde in every single game.

Speaker 2 So Josh Jacobs wasn't supposed to play. I think he, didn't Josh Jacobs like force himself upon the Raiders? I'm pretty sure he flew in separately.
Yeah. It was like, yeah, I'm going to play.

Speaker 1 I'm going to play.

Speaker 2 Even though you might not want me to right now, I'm going to play. So, Josh McDaniels, do you think that he is, is he like, is he feeling that pressure?

Speaker 1 I don't know, dude.

Speaker 1 I don't think I've ever seen anything like it. Again, I know I kind of, we're getting later in the show, so I kind of was probably all over the place with my

Speaker 1 stats and research, but I'll just say it again. I get it.

Speaker 1 They're being outscored 70 to 16 in their bad halves, and they're outscoring their opponents 48 to 7 in their good halves. And it's exactly 3-3.

Speaker 2 Now, how does that break down by quarter?

Speaker 2 That's the next math that we have to figure out. Yeah.

Speaker 1 But they, yeah, they're...

Speaker 1 And I just want to say something to all the sickos out there, because I saw a few people tweeting this.

Speaker 1 People really want to see me lose the tip of my pinky because I'm getting people being like, you're a pussy for choosing the 0-3 Raiders. I chose the 0-2 Raiders.
Those are the rules.

Speaker 1 It's not my fault. They suck.

Speaker 2 And all they have to do is combine halves.

Speaker 1 Yeah. If they could just put two halves together, they would be incredible.

Speaker 2 Well, statistically speaking,

Speaker 2 they should be 1-1-1 right now with those halves.

Speaker 1 Correct. Yeah.

Speaker 1 They absolutely should be.

Speaker 1 They're playing pretty much all their opponents exactly even.

Speaker 2 They just need to consolidate their shitty halves more than anything. Right.

Speaker 1 They didn't have one bad game and then one great game.

Speaker 2 Yeah, that's what normal teams do. You just don't show up occasionally.

Speaker 1 Right. And it's weird that they've done it both ways now, where they've come out slow and then tried to get back, and then they've also come out fast and then just completely shit the bet.

Speaker 2 I think they're going to win next week against the Broncos because the Broncos, they play no good halves ever. Yeah, that's true.
So even when they win, they suck. Yes.

Speaker 2 So as long as you can get one good half, you'll win. You'll have one good half to their zero good halves, and that should win.

Speaker 1 Right.

Speaker 1 If you can just beat them by enough in your one good half, In your bad half, you should be able to hold them off. Yes.
Yeah.

Speaker 2 Because like they're going to score, what, 13 points max in their best half?

Speaker 1 I was going to say, like, they're going to score, like,

Speaker 1 it's got to be a weird number.

Speaker 1 They're going to score nine points, eight points, maybe. Yeah.
Yeah. Five points.

Speaker 2 They scored five points. Maybe all the weird shit that used to happen to the Seahawks all the time.
That was just weird shit happening to Russell Wilson. Yeah.

Speaker 1 Yeah. And then he's just a weird guy.

Speaker 2 He just brought it with him to the Broncos. I agree.

Speaker 1 Here's a fun stat to finish this game. Devontae Adams has caught a TD from Derek Carr in the last 12 straight games they've played together, dating back to Fresno.
That is fun. That's pretty cool.

Speaker 1 That's a very fun set.

Speaker 2 I got a question. I haven't seen

Speaker 2 any players having babies recently. What's up with that? I feel like last year they were getting popped out left and right, left and right.

Speaker 2 We were having a baby touchdown Palooza every week. It was like, we know who we're betting on because somebody just gave birth.
So that guy's catching a touchdown.

Speaker 1 Maybe people are just waiting for Max Holman to have his kid, that fucking pervert. Yeah.
Just out of respect.

Speaker 2 When's the next full moon?

Speaker 1 they're telling all their wives like hold that baby in max hasn't had his yet yeah we had a warm january oh there we go oh okay the warm is that pharma's alma next thing is that a good that should be more fucking uh more storms more being inside more fucking more babies more fucking so it's too warm but why aren't the babies showing up because we had a warm january Not as many storms.

Speaker 1 Yeah, that's what you're saying.

Speaker 1 But wouldn't you, wouldn't also warm January be like people are out fucking? Well, you meet new people outside.

Speaker 2 No, but well you can meet people out you know out at the bar and stuff i think the issue is that uh that pre-existing couples aren't getting snowed in got it not having enough sex also nine months ago today was christmas day i feel like i'm out on celebration

Speaker 1 yeah there's other things at the prior top of the priority list what about during hanuka time i mean hanukkah's a week too full too yeah week a week long so people probably aren't having that much sex during hanukkah maybe but hanukkah was usually earlier Yeah, I feel like I actually, like, anecdotally speaking, don't know that many people that were born in

Speaker 1 late September, October.

Speaker 2 Yeah, but it would make sense.

Speaker 1 Damn.

Speaker 1 Jake. Oh, yeah, Jake, wait.
We don't know each other.

Speaker 2 Wait, today is Jake's birthday, isn't it? Monday? Monday, yeah. Oh, happy birthday, Jake.

Speaker 1 Look at you. We did this whole thing just so you could get that.

Speaker 1 Promo code Jake Dammit. Promo code Jake damn it.

Speaker 1 Yes. That would be my dream.
Did you plan your birthday to be during the middle of the birthday?

Speaker 5 To win Merchapalooza.

Speaker 1 Yeah.

Speaker 1 Yeah. Make Jake happy for his birthday.

Speaker 2 Yeah, no, I do think that less people have sex in December and January.

Speaker 1 You're going to darn it because

Speaker 2 stress being around family.

Speaker 1 You're probably

Speaker 1 more drunk. Yes.

Speaker 2 And so you're not getting it up as easy.

Speaker 1 It's a whole thing. All right, so Jake, happy birthday.
Everyone wish Jake happy birthday. I want to see everyone buy 10% off.
Use promo code Jake. Happy birthday.

Speaker 1 Billy, we know when your birthday is. Don't try to fucking lie and say your birthday is Tuesday.

Speaker 1 I never was going to do that. Promo code, Billy.
I'm still hanging in there.

Speaker 11 I mean, with everything that's going on, me still being the top three and Hank designing something for him to win himself with a new merch launch during it and not being able to get ahead of me, just saying he created the competition with the plans of releasing the new Carstick 3.0, which you can use code Billy to buy on the Barstool store.

Speaker 3 I mean, everything you just said is alive.

Speaker 1 That's all right.

Speaker 3 You've been burning bridges this entire competition. You're going to continue to do so, and you're going to come short.

Speaker 1 That's fine.

Speaker 2 I was just thinking about while they're having this conversation, Big Cat. I was just thinking about Russell Wilson, and maybe it was him being the problem the entire time.

Speaker 1 Yeah.

Speaker 2 But maybe it wasn't because, isn't it weird to you that Nathaniel Hackett was chosen after

Speaker 2 he was chosen after Russell Wilson? No, he was chosen to get Aaron Rodgers there. They didn't get Aaron.
They brought Russell Wilson in. They paid him a shitload of money.
And then

Speaker 2 he's not really giving him the ball that much and letting him throw that much.

Speaker 1 Well, he threw a decent, he threw like 33 times.

Speaker 2 But in clutch situations,

Speaker 1 they're handing the ball off. Yeah.

Speaker 2 So do you think that his ownership going to get mad at Nathaniel Hackett for wasting their money?

Speaker 1 No, I think he's going to... I think every coach that Russell Wilson has is like, oh,

Speaker 1 maybe we should run the ball a little bit here. That's probably better.

Speaker 8 Just because they hate him. Yeah.

Speaker 2 Maybe the coaches hate Russell. The coaches hate Russell Wilson too, so they won't let him throw the ball.
Yeah.

Speaker 1 Yeah. Got it.
Yeah, I mean, he's gotten a chance to throw it.

Speaker 1 Last thing about the Titans and Raiders. I know this sounds crazy because we still got to talk about the Jags who look great.

Speaker 2 Titans plus 260 to win the AFC South right now.

Speaker 1 Like, that, I don't think the Titans are good, but it's Mike Rabel. And you never know.
You know what I mean? They'll win some of these games.

Speaker 2 They're not far off.

Speaker 1 Right. And they'll just win some of these games and they'll hang around and they'll hang around.
And they'll definitely have one of those. Like, you can look at the Titans

Speaker 1 schedule and you can probably pick out what game will they just shock everyone, and everyone be like, Should we start taking the Titans for real?

Speaker 1 November, look, November 6th, at the Chiefs, Chiefs, boom, they're probably gonna win or November 17th against the Packers.

Speaker 1 Yep, one of those, they'll win one of those two games, maybe at the Eagles, yeah. And everyone will be like, Oh, shit, no, Eagles aren't, Eagles aren't losing 20-0.

Speaker 1 I actually agree, no, I think the Eagles are gonna have a perfect season, 20-0.

Speaker 2 Perfect season, Philadelphia. Congratulations.

Speaker 1 No, you can't do it.

Speaker 1 You want to talk about the Eagles now? No, they can do it.

Speaker 2 No, I'm just saying, grease up the lamp poles right now in advance. I think that you guys got this.

Speaker 1 All right, let's do the next game. Bengals, Jets.
Are the Bengals back?

Speaker 2 The Bengals are most definitely back.

Speaker 1 Well, they played the Jets.

Speaker 2 Well, Joe Flacco, again, went out there. I think he attempted 52 passes this time.

Speaker 11 He's leading the league in attempts with 155 attempts in three games.

Speaker 1 That's like an entire season of Bears' attempts.

Speaker 2 That's torture. That's insane.
That's torture for Joe Flacco. They're trying to kill the man out there.

Speaker 1 Do you know that he's actually thrown for 200 plus yards for the first time in four consecutive games for the first time in his career yeah that's crazy yeah joe flacco's peaking at the right time yeah he's betting on himself again back up the truck he was i was i was going to make the take um during the eagles commanders discussion that carson wentz leads the league in uh throws where there's no ball in his hand i think joe flacco does where he gets stripped and he just keeps on going with the motion he's like what the fuck he he was getting stripped left and right today i think i think carson went Wentz leads the league in accidentally backwards thrown passes.

Speaker 1 Yeah, that too. Yes.

Speaker 2 So Joe Flacco, he is on pace right now for the most attempts of all time in a season. If he keeps this up, he probably won't, because my guess is he'll probably put Zach Wilson back in.
I think

Speaker 1 he's possibly coming back this season.

Speaker 2 Yeah, so I saw some people wondering that aloud. Zach Wilson will be the quarterback moving forward from this point on for the New York Jets.

Speaker 1 Yes.

Speaker 1 Billy, not great.

Speaker 11 Yet, offense wasn't looking too good, but Bengals had a really good defense.

Speaker 1 The Bengals did play great defense. They also, like Joe Burrow, did exactly what you need to do if you're an 0-2 team with Super Bowl expectations.

Speaker 1 He came out and was just on fire in the first quarter.

Speaker 1 I think it was like 130 yards, two touchdowns, and that was kind of all she wrote. They actually, that's all they needed.
They obviously scored more, but that is all they did need.

Speaker 11 With the offense not scoring a touchdown, holding the Bengals to 27 points, it's kind of a win in my book. You got to take a look at the point.

Speaker 2 Holding them to 27 points.

Speaker 11 I mean, if you think of the offensive breakdown of how much offense the Bengals could play and how many points we kept them to, you just got to take the small douglas.

Speaker 2 Like for plays, like points per play.

Speaker 2 What's that metric, I wonder?

Speaker 1 I'll check it out. What about Big W for you earlier this week

Speaker 1 when your guy, the T-Man, Trump, said that he called Robert Salah and said, you're better than Vince Lombardi? Yeah, I mean, that was huge.

Speaker 1 That was a huge moment.

Speaker 11 You know, talent respects talent.

Speaker 1 Yeah, yeah, that's a fact. Yes.

Speaker 1 He's better better than Vince Lombardi. He's better than Vince.
Vince Lombardi never did that. He never beat the Browns down 13 minutes.

Speaker 2 Some people would say that that had something to do with the fact that Woody Johnson is the owner of the New York Jets, who was also like his biggest contributor to the point where he was named ambassador to Ireland.

Speaker 1 Nope. I'm telling you.

Speaker 2 I'm saying it's here to say there's absolutely no evidence to back that up.

Speaker 11 It's about how amazing the Jets are which direction they're going. I mean, Zach, I mean, we can put all of these games in the rearview mirror.
We got her win against the Browns. Flacco got us one.

Speaker 11 So it's now Zach Wilson is going to step into the driver's seat, and we're going to have an amazing rest of the season.

Speaker 1 Who you guys got next?

Speaker 11 Let me check. I think we have, I think it's a home game.

Speaker 1 Here's my problem with Robert Salah.

Speaker 1 I still can't, I don't know what his name actually is because Billy's warped my brain. Pittsburgh.

Speaker 8 At Pittsburgh.

Speaker 1 You could win that game. Yeah.

Speaker 1 His head is too shiny. Did you see in his press conference? Like,

Speaker 1 it's way too shiny. I think he should get a Toupe.
I think that would change the mojo of of this team.

Speaker 11 Putting makeup on his head? Yeah, something.

Speaker 1 Wear a hat. I don't know, but he's got a shiny ass head, and his team stinks.
Look how shiny his head looks, PFT.

Speaker 2 Look at this. I would almost...

Speaker 1 You were seeing a headache. I've seen it.
Look at that. I've seen the press conference.

Speaker 2 I think he gets done dirty by the lighting staff.

Speaker 1 That's shiny.

Speaker 2 I think the lighting staff, they should maybe add a little green tint to it to enhance the Jets' flavor to the entire room.

Speaker 2 Because that right there, that's just a spotlight shining directly onto the man's head.

Speaker 11 Quinnen Williams got into it with the defensive line coach on the sideline. Yep.

Speaker 11 Turns out after the touchdown catch by T. Higgins, I think they rushed eight guys, and Quinn Williams thought he could do with four, and then they didn't rush eight guys for the rest of the game.

Speaker 11 So he got his point across.

Speaker 1 Let me guess that was just iron sharp and desired. Exactly.
Guys argue.

Speaker 2 Here's another spin zone for you. The Jets kind of dropped two touchdown passes today.
Yeah. Yeah.
So they could have had 16 more points.

Speaker 1 Yeah.

Speaker 2 And then, guess what? That's a W. Yeah.

Speaker 1 Exactly. That's true.

Speaker 2 Joe Flacco played good enough to win this game.

Speaker 1 The Bengals, this is why we were talking them up on Friday. They only gave up two sacks because the Jets don't have Micah Parsons or TJ Watt.
I don't know.

Speaker 1 Thursday night will be very interesting because that's a game like if the Bengals win that game, then I'm like, okay, it feels like they've got things back on track.

Speaker 1 I fully expect them to win this game, which they do deserve credit for winning the way they did. Points played.
They killed him.

Speaker 2 Listen, Thursday night, I think, is going to be another points fest. I'm very excited for it.

Speaker 2 Tyler Boyd had another great game.

Speaker 2 I actually think they might have the best receiving core in the NFL.

Speaker 2 Boyd, Higgins, Jamar Chase as their top three.

Speaker 2 That's pretty good.

Speaker 1 Yeah, I'm trying to think because we always, we suck at this. I know.
Whenever we do the spot, like rank them.

Speaker 1 Devontae Smith, A.J. Brown.

Speaker 1 That's two. That's two.
Okay, but that's

Speaker 1 a tight end. Is Jeremy Macklin still on the Eagles?

Speaker 2 Quez Watkins.

Speaker 1 Quez Watkins, huge.

Speaker 5 What about the Chargers went healthy?

Speaker 1 What about the Dolphins?

Speaker 1 What about the Dolphins? Yeah, Tyreek and Jalen Waddle. I'm just thinking.
I'm just top third. Yeah, no, who's the third?

Speaker 5 Palmer's been good.

Speaker 1 Who cares? It doesn't really matter. No, but who's the third on the Dolphins? Like, you could throw in any name, and it's you have Tyreek and Jalen Waddell.

Speaker 2 I'd say one through three, top to bottom. Averagely, I would say the Bengals are up there.

Speaker 1 Yeah, I probably would take the Dolphins.

Speaker 5 For Depths, it's probably the Bengals, but top heavy Dolphins.

Speaker 2 And then I saw some people. I don't know how how much stock to put in this because I think Ken Jack brought this up, but he said that there was a discourse, and I hate discourses.

Speaker 2 There was a discourse about whether or not the Bengals screwed up by drafting Jamar Chase instead of Sewell after the first two games of the season when Joe Flat or when Joe Burrow was getting hit left and right.

Speaker 2 I'd just like to say for the record,

Speaker 2 the Cincinnati Bengals got to the Super Bowl last year.

Speaker 2 In large part because they did draft Jamar Chase. That's about as big a hit as you can have.
So I'm going to say, I'm going to do a redraft real quick in my brain.

Speaker 2 Yep, they made the right decision by drafting Jamar Chase. Yeah.

Speaker 1 Yeah, I'd agree.

Speaker 1 Okay, I'm just making sure because

Speaker 1 these are the

Speaker 1 discussions we have that always people are like, what the fuck? Cedric Wilson would be the third for the Dolphins. He's pretty good.

Speaker 1 And then we should also throw in the fact that Mike Evans, Chris Godwin, and Julio Jones went healthy.

Speaker 2 Has Julio Jones even played?

Speaker 1 Yeah, he played week one. Oh, yeah, that's right.
He played. Yeah, he had like 70 yards.
He actually made a sick catch. So, yeah, there's some good.

Speaker 1 They're definitely in the. They're either one one or two, depending on, you know,

Speaker 1 here we go for the week.

Speaker 2 I just literally googled it. Tier one elite on Pro Football Focus.
Ever heard of it? Number one, Cincinnati Bengals.

Speaker 1 Yeah. Yeah.

Speaker 1 So, yeah, they are. I just know we always do that.
We always fuck that up. Yeah, we always.
We always fuck that up, and everyone's like, dude, how could you not mention this team?

Speaker 1 It's like, I don't know. It's one in the morning.
We're just listing shit off the top.

Speaker 2 Low-key, high-key, the Raiders have a pretty good receiving quarterback.

Speaker 1 They do. Renfro, Devontae Adams.
And then I guess you can't count on it. The third guy?

Speaker 1 DeMarcus Robinson?

Speaker 1 Deshaun Jackson, Matt Collins. No, Matt Collins.
But is Demarcus Robinson on the Raiders?

Speaker 1 If I got that, I'm very happy with myself.

Speaker 1 Okay.

Speaker 1 Is he? Is he? Ravens. Ravens.
Shit. Was he on the Raiders?

Speaker 2 No. I think he went chief straight to the Ravens.

Speaker 1 He did?

Speaker 2 Yeah, I think so.

Speaker 1 Damn it.

Speaker 1 Wait.

Speaker 1 Yes.

Speaker 1 He went on the Raiders for a minute.

Speaker 2 He was there for a second.

Speaker 1 Yeah, he was on the Raiders for a minute, and then he got traded, right? Okay, this has been talking wide receivers for no reason.

Speaker 1 Pardon my take at 1 a.m. Let's go to the next game.
Yeah, he was released August 16th, 2022 by the Raiders. So maybe not good in the trio when they released him.

Speaker 1 Okay,

Speaker 1 next up, Panthers, Saints. Panthers 22, Saints 14.
Panthers get their first win of the season. Their offense still stinks.
Their defense looked awesome. I'm worried about Jameis.

Speaker 1 Also, Matt Ruhl.

Speaker 1 You're on the hot seat officially because David Tepper had Ian Ratport make an announcement for him before the games on Sunday.

Speaker 1 I love the insider making the announcement because they need something to talk about on all these pregame shows.

Speaker 1 And he said, Ian Ratport reported that David Tepper, owner of the Panthers, plans to be patient with Matt Ruhl. That is the most red flag.
You're fucked, dude. Yeah, plans to beat him.

Speaker 2 Patient of all time. Yep.
That means you're fired.

Speaker 1 I mean, you're fucked. You're done.
That's kissing death.

Speaker 2 The Panthers, though, do have one of the most impressive streaks in sports going right now. They haven't allowed a touchdown on the opening drive in 20 games.

Speaker 2 I believe that's the longest in NFL history.

Speaker 1 That's huge.

Speaker 2 That's crazy. So make sure to live bet right after kickoff.

Speaker 1 Why aren't we, by the way, we talked about on Friday the 17 points.

Speaker 1 Why aren't we just parlaying every single week the Panthers and the other teams team total under and then just doing the reverse as well? It's unbelievable. Like that would hit every time, right?

Speaker 2 Yeah.

Speaker 2 A bad trend for our good friend Jameis is that he has five interceptions in his last two fourth quarters.

Speaker 1 He's got a broken back.

Speaker 2 Four broken backs.

Speaker 1 But he does not look good. That offense looks bad.

Speaker 2 His broken back is four times worse than Tua's. Yeah,

Speaker 1 it's a cause for concern. I don't really, the Saints, and it feels like one of those situations where their defense is really really good, and

Speaker 1 the defense is at some point going to be like, what the fuck are we doing this for? Because our offense sucks.

Speaker 2 Yeah, the offense isn't even... Well, Jameis is going to get better.
He's going to get better because

Speaker 2 Big Cat, he has not even yet begun to train. Once his...
Trainer gets back with him. I'm sure that what's been happening for like the last two weeks.

Speaker 2 His trainer hasn't had time to train Jameis because he's just been coming up with the craziest fucking exercises to heal four broken back vertebrates.

Speaker 1 Four vertebrae.

Speaker 2 So he's going to come out here with some shit that you haven't seen since like the ancient Egyptians.

Speaker 2 He's going to have like a pit viper, an asp biting Jameis in his throwing arm, trying to like send some of the numbing agents up into his nerves.

Speaker 2 He's going to have some crazy shit ready, and everything's going to be fine.

Speaker 2 Jameis will be good.

Speaker 1 I wouldn't be shocked if Jameis's trainer just starts training Jameis like he's an actual paralyzed person.

Speaker 1 Like you actually see Jameis doing videos where he's in like one of those slings on the treadmill trying to learn how to walk again. Yeah, he's holding both rails.

Speaker 1 Yeah, and and James is like, dude, I actually know how to walk. Like,

Speaker 1 I've been playing in these games. He's like, no, no, no, this is how we have to train now.
Yeah. And he's just teaching him how to walk again, even though he can fully walk.

Speaker 2 They'll have Jameis wearing one of those halos around his head with the connector things to his shoulders. Right.

Speaker 2 And then he'll just walk on the field every week, take that off and play football, and then put it back on.

Speaker 2 They'll probably even have him putting that thing on on the sidelines when their team is on defense. It's bad, though, for

Speaker 1 the Saints.

Speaker 1 Also, shout out Matt Rule. He said afterwards, uh, the plan today was on defense was to let it rip, and they blitzed the fuck out of him.

Speaker 1 And their defense won that game because Baker was still not great. No, Christian McCaffrey was.
Christian McCaffrey, let's say this: say something nice about the Panthers.

Speaker 1 There's multiple times I looked at the screen, and Christian McCaffrey was just running free down the field.

Speaker 2 Yeah, I mean, he's still very good when he's healthy. And then Baker, I think, would have had, I want to say would have had like 80 yards passing total on the day if it wasn't for LaViscus Chenault.

Speaker 1 Yep, I think he was. Colorado.

Speaker 2 LaViscus Chennault had that one nice, it was almost like a screen that he broke down the field for like 70 yards. Yes.

Speaker 2 And that was the difference in the game right there, that along with the defense that I think created a couple turnovers.

Speaker 1 Yeah,

Speaker 1 they got a scooping score.

Speaker 2 But they won a very boring football game. And

Speaker 2 sometimes I almost feel like the players lose focus during boring football games because they get bored too.

Speaker 2 The Panthers today got less bored than the Saints did, and they won the game.

Speaker 1 Yes, that's exactly right. So I don't know who the Saints play next.
Who do they play? Who's next? Let's do a quick whose line is it anyway? Because I don't know. London game.
Oh, the London.

Speaker 1 We're taking

Speaker 5 the Vikings.

Speaker 1 9.30 a.m.

Speaker 1 Vikings.

Speaker 2 Wait, now,

Speaker 2 is this an awesome Kirk Cousins game? Because he's going to have so few people watching because it's early in the morning.

Speaker 1 I'm going to say Vikings minus four and a half.

Speaker 2 It's like the opposite of prime time for him.

Speaker 5 It is. Vikings minus three.

Speaker 1 Ooh.

Speaker 2 I kind of like the Vikings.

Speaker 1 I do too.

Speaker 1 I just gave you my advanced analytics. I have them winning by four and a half.
That's a one and a half point edge.

Speaker 2 I like the fact that it's in England. It's way before anybody's awake here in the United States.

Speaker 5 London is 44.5.

Speaker 1 Okay.

Speaker 1 Yeah, I like that too. Saints' defense is good.
Their offense fucking sucks.

Speaker 1 Okay, before we get to the last four afternoon sleek games, PFC, you got a couple words from our sponsors.

Speaker 6 All protein bars generally taste the same, but not one bars. One-made protein bars are actually delicious with Reese's and Hershey's.

Speaker 1 Okay, afternoon games. Jaguars 38, Chargers 10.

Speaker 1 I was thinking about this. Do you think when Trevor Lawrence is doing his acceptance speech in Canton, do you think he thanks Urban Meyer being like, you taught me what rock bottom looked like.

Speaker 1 You taught me how difficult this job could could be. And everything since then has just been the easiest thing ever.

Speaker 1 And that's why I won four Super Bowls and had five MVPs for the Jacksonville Jaguars. It's you, Urban Meyer, who did this for me.

Speaker 2 I think he brings in an Urban to give his introduction speech, knowing that if Urban introduces him, everyone's going to absolutely thank God that Trevor Lawrence took over the mic and they don't have to listen to Urban Meyer talk anymore.

Speaker 2 Yes. That would be a nice way to do it.
I do think that Urban Meyer maybe distilled his or instilled his winning spirit and his fight into Trevor. We shouldn't discount what he's taught him.

Speaker 1 No, he's just basically like, you can't, this is as bad as it will possibly be. I think that everything will be easy.

Speaker 2 I think we need to give Urban Meyer credit for what he did teach Trevor in the brief period.

Speaker 2 He taught him so well in the first, what, eight weeks that he was in town that there was no need for him to finish out the first season. He already passed along all the lessons to him.

Speaker 1 And I'm going to say it right now. Trevor Lawrence is a guy.

Speaker 2 So

Speaker 2 I would like to apologize to Trevor Lawrence.

Speaker 1 Yeah, you're very wrong.

Speaker 2 I would like to apologize to him.

Speaker 2 Now, you've said some things about Trevor Lawrence, too. It's

Speaker 1 not just me.

Speaker 2 Well, he has stunk in the past today.

Speaker 2 He looked very, very good.

Speaker 1 But he's been good this season.

Speaker 2 He's been good this season outside of the first game of the season, where he had some head scratchers, a couple of doidoys here.

Speaker 1 He's only thrown one pick this year.

Speaker 2 He had some head scratchers, some doidoys, some missed open guys in the field.

Speaker 2 But I do think he's obviously was very, very good today. And I think not not just that, the Jaguars are good.
Yeah. Like the team around him,

Speaker 2 I think the Jaguars might be good.

Speaker 1 No, I think they are good. And Doug Peterson deserves a lot of credit.
And I know the Chargers were very banged up.

Speaker 1 I still don't know what Brandon Staley was doing having Justin Herbert out there when they were down 28 with like five minutes left. They lost Bosa in the game.

Speaker 1 Rashawn Slater, I hope, doesn't have a torn bicep, but he had a bicep injury, and he's one of the best left tackles in the the game. So the Chargers were decimated, but I don't think it matters.

Speaker 1 The Jaguars were the better team from the beginning of this game to the end. It was never even close.

Speaker 1 And yeah, I think Trevor Lawrence, like his numbers this year, he's six touchdowns, one interception, 70% completion percentage, 772 yards. He's good.
And the wild stat.

Speaker 1 Jake, we talked about it Friday. Trevor Lawrence and Peyton Manning both started 0-9 on the road in their career.
They both won their 10th road game, week three, against the Chargers. Wild.

Speaker 1 That is wild. That is wild.

Speaker 2 Also, this is crazy. The Jaguars had lost 18 straight games on the road before today.
That's so long. That's a long time.

Speaker 2 And then I think the one that we talked about was they were something like 3-14 or 3-17

Speaker 2 on the West Coast in their last 20 games. So I do think that the Jaguars are good because they, just in all facets of the game, look competent today.

Speaker 8 Yeah. Which is weird.

Speaker 2 You usually expect them to do something to shoot themselves in the foot. They looked really, really good today.
Offense, defense, special teams.

Speaker 1 Yeah, Devin Loyce, their 27th pick this year, had an interception.

Speaker 2 He's been all over the place.

Speaker 1 Josh Allen, the other Josh Allen, he's actually second in the league right now.

Speaker 2 In Josh Allen's

Speaker 1 Josh Allen's, but also in QB pressures. Like he's...
He's the real deal.

Speaker 1 The Jaguars are good.

Speaker 2 Yeah, the Jaguars. I want the Jaguars to win the AFC South so badly.
I do too.

Speaker 8 That'd be so fun.

Speaker 1 And I want Trevor Lawrence to be good. And I want he actually is a good sign to

Speaker 1 Billy, Zach Wilson, myself, Justin Fields, Hank, even Mac Jones. Like,

Speaker 1 Trevor Lawrence doesn't have that much talent around him. You know what I mean? Offensively.
Like, he's got James Robinson's nice.

Speaker 1 Christian Kirk. They did get some receivers.
Yeah. But it's not.

Speaker 1 You wouldn't say that it's set up like Tua's got it set up or Jalen Hurts got it set up, and he looks looks good.

Speaker 2 Yeah, I think for the most part,

Speaker 2 they overspent on wide receivers this offseason. Right.
But for a reason, because I think they just wanted to let Trevor know that they're trying,

Speaker 2 which in the past, you can't always say that with the Jaguars, that they're like making a good faith effort to make their quarterback's life easier.

Speaker 2 And so just having that, that probably helped a little bit.

Speaker 2 Also, Doug Peterson, who's slowly changing into like Florida Santa Claus, his hair's getting whiter, getting a little bit heavier, getting a little more sunburned here and there.

Speaker 2 He's done a great job with Trevor. That's the entire reason.

Speaker 1 Turns out he might be a good kid.

Speaker 2 That's the entire reason they brought him in, basically, was to say,

Speaker 2 we have a guy that is going to be just focused on improving our quarterback, and we'll count on some other people to improve the rest of the team. Yes.

Speaker 2 But as long as you can make sure that our highly touted, like can't miss quarterback, actually doesn't miss, then the rest will take care of itself.

Speaker 1 Yeah, and I know that we maybe were overreacting because it's week three, but

Speaker 1 yeah, it turns out the guy who lost like twice in all of his entire college career might be good at quarterbacking. Yep.
He might be good.

Speaker 1 I think I'm going to say he's good, and I think the Jaguars are going up my power rankings. I think they were frisky.
I think they're, they might be, I might just make them good. I think they're good.

Speaker 1 I have a probably good. I think they might just be good.

Speaker 2 What about Goodish?

Speaker 1 That's probably good. Okay, do you.
And you don't know if they're good or not.

Speaker 2 Do you have high-key, low-key good? No, I actually think that they are high-key, low-key good.

Speaker 1 Yeah, they might be. I mean,

Speaker 1 I got to see their schedule. I want to get excited for the Jaguars.
I'm excited for the Jaguars because this fan base gets tortured.

Speaker 2 Yeah, what did they say last week?

Speaker 1 Oh, well, they're going to lose on Sunday, sorry. Oh, against who.

Speaker 1 You know.

Speaker 1 Number one team in the world. Oh, they're playing.

Speaker 1 They're playing Eagles. Yeah.
All right, so that's a loss. What if they win?

Speaker 1 What if they say fucking revenge game? For Doug Peterson. Yes.
Absolutely.

Speaker 2 Do you think that Trevor Lawrence is just excited to be around a normal human being as his coach for the first time in his life? Yes. Because he had Urban, and then he had Dabo before that.
Yeah.

Speaker 1 He's got like a guy who he wants to have a beer with. Yeah.
He's got a guy.

Speaker 1 One guy would never have a beer with him in Dabo and the other guy would have a beer and then try to finger fuck everyone at the bar. Yeah.
Doug Peterson will just fucking have a beer with you.

Speaker 1 That's nice.

Speaker 1 All right. So they play the Eagles, but then they have Texans, Colts, Giants, Broncos.

Speaker 1 The Jaguars, we could be sitting here and the Jaguars could be like six and two, maybe.

Speaker 2 The Jaguars are right now, as it stands, in sole possession of first place, right?

Speaker 1 I'm buying the Jaguars. I'm hyping the Jaguars.
Jaguars fans, this is... You've been waiting for this moment for a very long time.
I mean, I guess only five years since the boat. But

Speaker 1 it's been a lot of bad football, a lot of really bad football. And now you have hope.
There's nothing better than the hope. And they have legitimate hope.

Speaker 2 The Bills Eagles infrastructure question that we had last week. You could substitute Jacksonville fans in there pretty easily.

Speaker 2 As long as you say, like, I don't think that our nation's drug dealers are ready for the Jacksonville Jaguars fans to go to the Super Bowl,

Speaker 2 our meth manufacturing process is not up to speed yet.

Speaker 1 Yeah, the Jaguars fan base wouldn't put the same stress in terms of quantity on Phoenix, but they would stress it like per person

Speaker 1 at a same level as like the Bills and Eagles.

Speaker 2 Yeah, if it's going to be a dry winter, I don't think that you have enough water to handle all the fireworks explosions.

Speaker 1 Yeah, like 10,000 hardcore Jaguars fans does equal like 100,000 Eagles fans. Yes.
Because that's some real hardcore shit. Like

Speaker 1 you have to be fucked in the head to be a hardcore Jaguars fan.

Speaker 2 I got to bring back the

Speaker 2 lady that was like, don't want some newcomer to come in and steal the show.

Speaker 2 All-time man on the street interview.

Speaker 2 You think she's alive? Oh, yeah.

Speaker 1 She's got a Trevor Lawrence.

Speaker 1 She might be living in Trevor Lawrence's house.

Speaker 2 She's probably never going to die. Yeah.

Speaker 1 She's all in on it. And then the Chargers,

Speaker 1 this feels like another just classic Chargers season.

Speaker 1 I'm hoping that they, you know, everyone gets healthy because they are the team that every year it feels like if everyone was healthy, they'd be the best team in the world.

Speaker 1 But the Rashawn Slater injury definitely scares me because he's that good. And Herbert, again, I don't know why he was in the game late in the fourth.

Speaker 1 And

Speaker 1 would you be surprised if the Chargers end up like 9-8 and just have to battle injuries the whole time? And everyone's like, man, you know who would be great if they made the playoffs? Chargers.

Speaker 2 It'd be kind of refreshing, honestly. Like, it's nice to have our stereotypes come 100% true.

Speaker 2 He did say, Justin Herbert did say to his coach that he wanted to be out there battling with his guys at the end.

Speaker 2 Now, that's great. I'm glad that he said that.
But then Brandon Staley also, I think as head coach, has the authority to be like, hey, we're getting our ass kicked.

Speaker 8 I don't want you to get hurt.

Speaker 1 If your quarterback is 100% healthy, you still don't have him in 38-10 with five minutes left. Yeah, you don't.

Speaker 1 Didn't the Packers pull Aaron Rodgers against the Vikings at the end? Yeah. Jordan Love came in and I mean it was like total garbage time.
It was like a minute and a half left.

Speaker 1 But still, the game is over.

Speaker 1 Just have Chase. That's what Chase Daniel is there for.

Speaker 1 Do Chase Daniel a justice and let him go five for five on dump-offs so he can get another 15 million next year.

Speaker 2 Yeah, it's like if you have if you have a Ferrari and you drive it every day and it's awesome and it's sweet and everybody loves it.

Speaker 2 And then one day of the year, it snows like 24 inches and you've also got a Chevy Silverado and you're like, no, you know what? I'm going to take the Ferrari out because it's so fast and cool. Yeah.

Speaker 2 And it's like, no,

Speaker 2 this is the reason why you got the truck.

Speaker 1 Yes, exactly.

Speaker 1 Okay.

Speaker 1 Jaguars. Pumped.
Pumped for Jaguars fans. Shout out Chaps, our guy.

Speaker 1 Rams, Cardinals, Rams 20, Cardinals 12. Kind of a boring game because it felt like the Rams won the game.
I know this isn't true, but it felt like they won the game in the first first quarter.

Speaker 1 They came out to a hot start, and then it was just defense the whole game.

Speaker 1 They kept the Cardinals out of the red zone. Kyler, after the game, said,

Speaker 1 You've got to be awake if you're playing with me.

Speaker 1 Basically, not calling out his receivers, but a little bit.

Speaker 2 I wouldn't say it's not calling him out.

Speaker 1 Yeah, right. No, it's calling him out.

Speaker 1 And Sean McVay just owns Cliff Kingsbury.

Speaker 2 Yeah, Sean McVay is very clearly a smarter individual than Cliff Kingsbury is.

Speaker 2 Aaron Donald had one of the most freakishly athletic plays I've ever seen when he was chasing after Kyler Murray and like full extension dove and basically grabbed one of his shoelaces and made Kyler Murray fall down as he was trying to throw the ball away.

Speaker 2 And then as Aaron Donald is like still in the process of diving to the ground and falling down, he sees

Speaker 2 Kyler Murray throw the ball away as he's falling down and he calls for him to be called down for a sack.

Speaker 2 He was like, he put his hand up as he was like horizontal in the air being being like his knees down.

Speaker 2 It was one of the most freakishly athletic things and one of the only things that like Aaron Donald could do and nobody else in the world.

Speaker 1 And Kyler Murray also had, did you see the other play where he just made a strict business decision that was very funny where Aaron Donald just blew up the whole line and it was like split second and Kyler Murray just threw it as far as he could down the field.

Speaker 1 Yeah, that's a good thing. He's like, fuck this.

Speaker 2 That's a classic Eli or Peyton Manning play where like one guy gets beat on defense and you just throw the ball immediately into the ground.

Speaker 1 No, no, I'm not doing this.

Speaker 1 That actually made enough. It was a very relatable moment for Kyler Murray.
I think you should have done that.

Speaker 2 Yeah, I think that Aaron Donald could make Kyler Murray explode if you hit him full speed. Yeah.

Speaker 1 Cardinals' defense looked okay. They did shut down the Rams like after Cooper Cup had that big run for a touchdown.
Cam Akers had, I think, a touchdown in third quarter.

Speaker 1 I guess if I were a Cardinals fan, I'd be like, once DeAndre Hopkins comes back, maybe we'll be good. Yeah, I guess.
Because he is, like, they are a different offense with him. He does everything.

Speaker 2 When I'm watching these games, I just keep thinking to myself, we're going to get hard knocks about this at some point in the future because they are doing the in-season hard knocks for the Cardinals.

Speaker 2 So we get to re-watch all these games a little bit later. This game is going to be one I'll have no interest in because it was a boring game.

Speaker 1 And I was actually, I think it was Trent Dilfer was on Rosillo's show, our good friend Ryan.

Speaker 1 And he made a point that's like, oh, damn, I wish I knew as much football as Trent Dilfer because he knows 10,000 times more football than us.

Speaker 1 But he was like, the problem without DeAndre Hopkins is like, you love Hollywood Brown because he's so fast, but he can't block for shit. And DeAndre Hopkins can block everyone.

Speaker 1 And like you can't call half your plays because DeAndre Hopkins, like not just the receiver, DeAndre Hopkins, but the fact that he will block everyone on the field and you can run so many different plays with him and so many different looks.

Speaker 1 So yeah, I guess that would be it. Cardinals, once DeAndre Hopkins, when is he coming back? Week seven?

Speaker 2 I think it was a six-game suspension.

Speaker 1 So if you can tread water,

Speaker 1 you can maybe, you know,

Speaker 1 I could see the Cardinals making a little bit of noise.

Speaker 2 Well, because it's not just

Speaker 2 the entire Arizona Cardinals offense feels like it's built around the fact that they've got all short kings, and then they have DeAndre Hopkins as the ass kicker. Yeah.

Speaker 2 So they've got Hollywood Brown at receiver. They've got Moore.
Both those guys, I think, are like 5'9. I think Moore's like 5'7 ⁇ .
Now, he's strong as shit, but

Speaker 2 they're not out there opening up holes. And then obviously Kyler Murray's short guy.
They're not a physical team. They've got Andy Isabella, another small guy.

Speaker 1 They're all small.

Speaker 2 They've just assembled a team of small guys.

Speaker 1 Yeah, Rondell Moore, who's injured right now. Yeah, that's what I said.

Speaker 2 He's a guy that squats like 600 pounds or whatever.

Speaker 2 Their entire team is assembled out of short kings, but you need one big dude around you to make yourself not get your ass kicked all the time.

Speaker 2 You have to be able to have one guy that's Debo that's like, I'm going to send you in there and he's going to take care of my hard work for me.

Speaker 1 I'm looking at their schedule. They could easily go two and one in their next three and tread water.

Speaker 1 They have a loss in there, obviously, to the Eagles.

Speaker 1 Just looking at every schedule is like, oh, the Eagles play them. No, but they play the Panthers, Eagles, and Seahawks.

Speaker 1 That should be 2-1. That should be.
Although, I feel like Kyler Murray playing in Carolina, that's going to be a weird game.

Speaker 2 Something weird is going to be. Just the vibes?

Speaker 1 Yeah, just the vibes are off in that one. I don't know.
Maybe it's because didn't the Cardinals...

Speaker 1 Wasn't that Kurt...

Speaker 1 No,

Speaker 1 Jose Dylan threw five interceptions against the Cardinals.

Speaker 2 He had like a left-handed one.

Speaker 2 In the NFC Championship. You might be thinking of the Kyle Bowl, where it was Kyle Allen versus Kyler Murray.
Yeah. And Kyle Allen beat Kyler Murray and took the ER and became Kyler.

Speaker 1 This is when we get our true, like, we've watched too much football that you go weird vibes off of just old games that you watched at one point.

Speaker 1 Oh, no, the Panthers killed the Cardinals in the NFC Championship game.

Speaker 1 So that was part of it.

Speaker 1 Yeah, so the Panthers killed the Cardinals in the NFC Championship game with Cam Newton when they went to the Super Bowl.

Speaker 2 I think there was a game recently where the Panthers beat the shit out of the Cardinals and a game where they were heavy underdogs because Newton was out.

Speaker 2 And I think whoever Newton's primary backup was also out. Yeah.
So they went to Kyle Allen.

Speaker 1 Okay, see, this is my brain really working overtime. I was right.

Speaker 1 It was also the divisional playoff game in 2009 was the Cardinals versus Jake Dylan, the Panthers, and Jake Delone threw five interceptions.

Speaker 1 So they're weird vibes. Weird vibes in that game.
Just weird vibes.

Speaker 1 Okay, wrapping up. We got two more games.
Falcons, Seahawks.

Speaker 1 Shout out to our guy, Arthur Smith.

Speaker 1 We bullied him into throwing to Kyle Pitts, and he threw to Kyle Pitts. And Drake.

Speaker 1 Yeah, and Drake London, who could be offensive rookie of the year. He's been awesome.
But Kyle Pitts

Speaker 1 had eight targets, five catches for 87 yards. It was right out the gate.
Like, they boom, deep shot to Kyle Pitts. We bullied him, and it worked.
And

Speaker 1 here's a stupid stat that means absolutely nothing, but the Falcons are 4-0 when Kyle Pitts has over 80 yards catching.

Speaker 8 No, that makes sense. Yeah.

Speaker 2 It makes sense.

Speaker 1 If I were Arthur Smith, I would just do screen dump-offs to him like as many times as I possibly could to start the game to get 80 yards and be like, all right, now we win the game.

Speaker 2 Okay, Big Kat, I've got a fun stat. Actually, it's more of a trivia question for you.
Okay. Ready for trivia? Yeah.

Speaker 1 Okay.

Speaker 2 Who is the second leading rusher in the NFL?

Speaker 1 It's definitely Cordorello Patterson. It's Corderell Patterson.

Speaker 2 He was awesome. He's the second leading rusher in the NFL right now.

Speaker 1 He is.

Speaker 2 What award did we decide to give him last year? The person that we like watching play football the most? Yeah. In the NFL? Cordorello Patterson keeps it up.

Speaker 2 You said 172 yards, say, something like that? Yeah, it was crazy. Just dominant, just absolute beast.
I think I will always like watching a tall running back who's good at running the football. Yes.

Speaker 2 When you get a good tall running back out there, it's just it's the dude's physically imposing, and he can change directions, and he's fucking tough as shit.

Speaker 1 Yeah, he's awesome. Their offense is awesome.
Their defense probably sucks.

Speaker 1 And Gino, Gino kind of cooked for a little bit until the end of the game when he took a terrible sack and then threw an interception. But I think the Seahawks, I'm going to put them in the firm.

Speaker 1 Like, we're going to keep thinking the Seahawks aren't that bad because we watched them Monday night football beat the Broncos but they are that bad they're bad they're pretty bad they might not they're booty they might not be favored in more than a handful of games their booty their booty um yeah I mean look they were they were it was a pick'em against

Speaker 1 a winless falcons i actually think that they're dog shit yeah yeah no they they're they're bad but it is funny how the perception just because of that monday night game will carry it for a little bit where we're like oh the seahawks are kind of frisky no no no, they're bad.

Speaker 2 Okay, at the Lions. I like the Lions and that.

Speaker 1 Yeah, that's a loss.

Speaker 2 At the Saints.

Speaker 1 Loss. Loss.
Cardinals at home.

Speaker 2 Loss. Some weird shit might happen.
Some fuck shit might happen because it's

Speaker 1 going to be

Speaker 2 the four o'clock game, the afternoon game on Fox. Yeah.
The one that's probably not on TV that much because it's going to suck. That one's going to be close, but it's still a loss.
Yeah.

Speaker 1 Yeah. So

Speaker 1 good for the Falcons, though.

Speaker 2 I will say DK had a catch that reminds you of exactly why DK Metcalf is getting paid so much money.

Speaker 2 I think he was covered by two and a half people for most of the play. And the ball was thrown just directly into the middle of all three of them.

Speaker 2 He just jumped up, went completely horizontal, about seven feet above the ground, and then caught it easily with three other guys trying to get for him. It's like, okay, he's a beast.

Speaker 1 I get it.

Speaker 2 He's a monster.

Speaker 8 Yeah, he is.

Speaker 1 Okay.

Speaker 8 Didn't fake anybody out on it, though.

Speaker 1 Packers Bucks, this game stunk.

Speaker 2 It did. Yeah, I mean, it was no offense whatsoever.

Speaker 1 I'm also.

Speaker 2 You could say the defense has played well.

Speaker 1 Yeah, I'm officially on like Packers' defense is very legit, and they will figure out their receivers.

Speaker 1 Like, even the fact that today they, I think they were missing two guys from an already bad receiver group, and then what's his name, Romeo Dobb, was just awesome. So,

Speaker 1 I'm officially like Packers will probably win the Super Bowl, and my worst nightmares will come true.

Speaker 2 I have a new thing that I hate about the NFL, and it's been like on the on the uptick for the last couple seasons. They give the quarterback way too much time after the play clock goes to zero.
Yeah.

Speaker 2 And every time that it happens, and it happened a couple of times today to Tom Brady, especially, you okay, Hank?

Speaker 2 Every time it happens, the play clock.

Speaker 3 Usually someone says bless you, but I'm good.

Speaker 1 Thank you.

Speaker 2 That's better. Are you okay?

Speaker 2 That was a violent sneeze. Yeah, it was making sure you're.

Speaker 1 All right, yeah, I know. Some blessings.
Bless you. Bless you.
Bless you.

Speaker 2 God bless you.

Speaker 1 Bless you.

Speaker 2 So the play clock goes to zero, and Tom Brady snaps the ball like a full half second after it snaps or after the play clock strikes zero.

Speaker 2 And then you have always, it's Mike Pereira gets on the line, and he's like, yeah, they're trained to actually, the way that they look and monitor the play.

Speaker 2 You typically give the quarterback a a little grace period on that. It's like, no, you fucking don't.

Speaker 1 It's like tie goes to the runner. No, that's not what it should be.

Speaker 1 You're either out or you're safe.

Speaker 2 But it's not the tie goes to the runner. You're saying that if the runner hits the base like just a half second after the ball gets into the glove, then the runner's safe.

Speaker 8 It's bullshit.

Speaker 2 And it's always like Mike Pereira saying to America, like completely simping for the referees and saying, no, this is

Speaker 2 how it's understood that we give them that leniency.

Speaker 8 Stop doing it. Yeah.

Speaker 2 You should call it, there's a clock there. Call it the way that the clock reads for a reason.
And

Speaker 2 they got that delay of game. They actually did get a delay of game on the two-point conversion at the end, which backed them up.
And they ended up not converting on that two-point conversion.

Speaker 2 But on that one, it was because they spent so much time celebrating the touchdown and they didn't realize the clock starts for the two-point conversion right away.

Speaker 1 Like immediately.

Speaker 2 Yeah. Because you don't have to, like, it's easier if you're getting the field goal unit on the team or on the field to kick the extra point.

Speaker 2 But when you have to line back up, I guess it's a little bit harder. But that's something that Tom Brady should probably know by now.
So then I'm thinking,

Speaker 2 has the game passed Tom Brady by?

Speaker 1 I'm in the camp of the Bucs are still very good. And if they have even one of their three receivers back, they'll be fine.
Mike Evans, Chris Godwin, and Julio Jones all didn't play today.

Speaker 1 It was funny watching in the beginning of the game, there was like a little slant that Tom Brady hit Cole Beasley, and Greg Olson was like, Tom Brady told us before the game that it feels like he's been playing with Cole Beasley for the last 20 years.

Speaker 1 Like, yeah, because he has. Like, yeah, Cole Beasley is, we talked about it on Friday.
He is the dog he found on the highway.

Speaker 1 He knows how to work with a dog.

Speaker 2 He's the adopted version of Julian Edelman.

Speaker 1 Right. So I think the Bucs will be fine, but I am officially nervous about the Packers because their defense is legit.

Speaker 1 And I was looking at their schedule, and I'm even more nervous because it feels like they have a four-game stretch here where they're going to just get to figure shit out offensively.

Speaker 1 They're playing the Patriots, the Giants, the Patriots, Giants, Jets all at home and then at commanders. They're going to have like a month where they're like, oh,

Speaker 1 fucking Aaron Andrews is going to sit down

Speaker 1 with Aaron Rodgers in like mid-October and be like, why are you clicking so well with this team? Because they played bad teams and they figured it out and now they're good.

Speaker 2 But isn't that going to lead us down the same conversation where they're beating every team by a million points and they're not going to be able to win close games like the Bills?

Speaker 2 They're going to get Bill's fever.

Speaker 2 But I'm saying after they go through that stretch, false confidence hits them a little bit.

Speaker 2 I want to know what Aaron Rodgers was talking about after the game when he said that the scoreboard operator, the Jumbotron operator, put something up there that they're not supposed to put up there, and it gave him like a piece of intel.

Speaker 2 Do we have any idea whatsoever what he was talking about?

Speaker 1 No, but he's cheating.

Speaker 2 I feel like we need to look at it. I'm shocked that nobody's put the pieces together on that.

Speaker 1 That scoreboard is for Bucs fans' eyes eyes only.

Speaker 1 That's a fact.

Speaker 11 All we know as of now is that it's something pertained to the Buccaneers' offense and stopping them, and then he relayed it to the defense.

Speaker 2 Got it. Okay, so he was like, they're going to he saw something.

Speaker 11 Yeah, he saw something on the,

Speaker 11 you know, the Jumbotron that he told the defensive coaches.

Speaker 1 You know what?

Speaker 2 I'm starting to... I'm very woke on this.
I think that Aaron Rodgers didn't see shit. I think he's just saying something just to get inside their heads.
He might have hallucinated.

Speaker 2 I think he's just making the entire thing up.

Speaker 1 This also was a game, and we sat and watched it with our good friend Stephen Shea, who's a diehard Bucks fan, and he got mad at me at the end, but we all knew the same thing.

Speaker 1 As they were just playing field position the entire time, it was so obvious the Bucs were going to score and not get the two-point conversion. And it happened exactly how we expected it to happen.

Speaker 1 Like, that always happens that way. So,

Speaker 1 yeah. I think both those teams are very good, and I'm worried about the Packers.

Speaker 2 You probably just saw in the Jumbotron that the clock ticked to zero on the play clock because it was before the two-point conversion. Yeah, he probably just saw it click it turn to zero.

Speaker 2 He was like, that's going to be a delayed game. Yeah.
And then they called it the delayed game. He's like, see, man, the universe sometimes speaks to you.
Yeah.

Speaker 1 Damn. I got that.

Speaker 1 Okay, Billy. Let's do football guy of the week, and then we'll wrap up real quick with who's back of the week.
Good job, everyone.

Speaker 1 We made something out of nothing with not a great week three, but that's what we do. That's where we get paid.
$85,000 in board apes every single episode.

Speaker 11 And you know what's the best part about it?

Speaker 10 Whether I'm hosting game day at my place or taking my talents to the tailgate, Boarshead is my go-to for a spread that's as exciting as the game itself. Their platters are a hit every time.

Speaker 10 They've got everything you need to keep your guests coming back for more. And if you want to take it up a notch, grab a few dips.

Speaker 10 My personal favorite, the blazing buffalo chicken, hummus, or even one of their charcuterie collections for game-changing flavor.

Speaker 10 Boarshead helps me elevate my entertaining every time, whether it's for a tailgate or a home gating celebration.

Speaker 9 To upgrade your spread, visit your local Boarshead Deli for platter options or build your own to make it perfect for your crowd.

Speaker 10 Boarshead, committed to craft since 1905.

Speaker 11 So last week we had the

Speaker 11 Appalachian State

Speaker 11 Appalachian football

Speaker 2 coaches.

Speaker 11 They won with their mousetraps.

Speaker 11 They had a pretty tough loss this week.

Speaker 1 Why would what happened?

Speaker 2 You tell us. Called it.

Speaker 1 Why would happen? Hank called it. It was a letdown second half.

Speaker 2 It was. 28-3.

Speaker 1 They won the lead.

Speaker 2 It wasn't just.

Speaker 2 Appalachian State had like 10 good minutes in this game. Besides that, it was an ass-kicking by JMU.
28-3. We called it during the game.
We said this is the most dangerous lead in football.

Speaker 2 Sure enough, JMU comes back, and the discussion is happening, believe it or not, about whether JMU should be ranked in the top 25. I think they got 11 votes.

Speaker 2 So 11 people out there having the discussion. 12, if you include part of my take, that JMU should be be ranked.
So, this is pretty incredible. We're better than Mississippi State.

Speaker 2 We're better than LSU.

Speaker 8 We're better than Notre Dame.

Speaker 2 Who would have thought?

Speaker 11 So, I think this may be the first winner who would be appropriate to send them a nail in a football. Okay.
And maybe get that going. Maybe some part of my cheese steaks.

Speaker 2 Yeah.

Speaker 11 Like it. Get that going this week.

Speaker 2 So,

Speaker 11 so, yeah.

Speaker 2 Congratulations.

Speaker 11 So our first nominee for this week is the 21-year-old nuclear terrorist from Utah that we talked about last week.

Speaker 11 If you didn't hear, a 21-year-old Utah student was arrested after she threatened to detonate a nuclear reactor that is located on campus if Utah had lost to San Diego State. Well, didn't happen.

Speaker 11 She posted it on Yik Yak and was arrested, but love the dedication.

Speaker 2 Football gal.

Speaker 1 I like it.

Speaker 11 Our second nominee this week is Baylor coach Dave Aranda, who is slapping people's asses on the sidelines. Just guy stuff.
Just guys being dudes. slapping asses.
It was pretty aggressive.

Speaker 11 It was getting hyped for the game. Love the vibe.
Yes. Our third nominee is Ken Dorsey.
We talked about him earlier.

Speaker 11 He went nuts from the booth after a pretty bad ending to a game, and he smashed up his tablet.

Speaker 11 So I have a personal theory that if the tablets were Apple products, they wouldn't get smashed so much on the sidelines and in the booth because I think that has a little more of like a value component.

Speaker 2 Yeah, I mean, you remember when Jake Cutler called it like knockoff iPads? Yeah,

Speaker 2 right after Microsoft had paid like $800 million to sponsor the tablets on the side of the the field.

Speaker 11 I think since they're so expendable, they just think they can break up the table.

Speaker 1 Yeah, they just throw them.

Speaker 11 Our fourth nominee is Trey Benson, running back from Florida State.

Speaker 11 This is a typical

Speaker 11 tradition they do. One player at the end of the game after a win gets to break up a rock with the other opposing team's

Speaker 11 symbol on it. This time it was Boston College.
And Trey Benson in the locking room after the win went nuts on this rock and just smashed it to Reams with a giant sledgehammer. Love it.

Speaker 1 Very cool. Love it.
Football guy move.

Speaker 11 And

Speaker 11 this week, because a lot of the nominees aren't as good as some other weeks, I brought back Throwback Football Guy of the Week.

Speaker 1 Oh.

Speaker 11 So this week, 27 years ago, this is actually pretty close. Big Cat probably remembers this very well.
A Bears fan jumped into the tunnel

Speaker 11 against the Packers after a field goal was kicked between the uprights, and he jumped a crazy high way to grab a football out of of the air, land on his two feet.

Speaker 11 It was a completion, and it was a pretty athletic, parkour-ish play that, you know, he was interviewed on the sideline, and the guy's name was Mike Pantazis, and pretty good football guy. Yeah.

Speaker 2 Yeah, fantastic mullet.

Speaker 1 We,

Speaker 1 like, way back in the day, Eddie, and I think White Sox Dave and I interviewed him for a podcast, like, maybe eight or nine years ago.

Speaker 1 Great dude.

Speaker 2 It's a psycho play on his part.

Speaker 2 He could have been, he probably should have been seriously injured, but he fucking nailed it. Like you talk about

Speaker 2 preparation being when, or success being when preparation meets opportunity. That dude had his moment, and he grabbed it by the balls and twisted.

Speaker 1 And he's been living off it ever since, and he should because it was very, very cool.

Speaker 1 Only problem with that moment was like, imagine if that happened today, it would be like super viral. It was viral for then, but like super, super viral.

Speaker 2 So I think that if it happened today, they would have like dug into his background immediately.

Speaker 1 Yeah, that's true. Milk ducked.
Milkshake ducked him.

Speaker 17 Milkshake ducked yeah yeah um okay good job billy awesome check out the blog you can vote on it on twitter man i'll tell you what when you're hungry out there you start acting like a rookie quarterback in his first game making bad decisions messing up the basics being all out of sorts that's where snickers comes in man that thing is packed roasted peanuts nugget caramel milk chocolate it's like the mvp of candy bars and when you bite into it boom it sorts you out gets your head back in the game of life satisfying your hunger.

Speaker 17 Remember this. Snickers handles your hunger so you can handle everything else.
Snickers satisfies, man. That's a winning play.

Speaker 1 Hank.

Speaker 3 On my who's back of the week is Max Homa.

Speaker 1 Yeah, buddy. USA.
USA.

Speaker 1 USA. USA.

Speaker 1 Suck it.

Speaker 2 Every other country in the world except for Europe.

Speaker 3 He went 4-0 in his matches. He had an electric walk-in putt on the 18th green on Friday to win his match.
And the USA dominated and won the Presidents Cup.

Speaker 1 If Max isn't on the Ryder Cup,

Speaker 1 we riot. Riot and a Travesty of Justice.

Speaker 1 He was awesome. He also didn't really.

Speaker 1 The only critique I'll have of Max, because he played great golf, is they did not plan beforehand whether they're doing like chest bumps or hugs because it was just a

Speaker 1 total like golf nerd celebration where everyone was on a different page.

Speaker 2 I did notice that at one point, I think it was on Friday, he hit a putt and he started doing the walk away like a foot or two before the ball went into the cup. That was sick.
Yeah.

Speaker 3 Well, they have the edits, so there's a clip going around.

Speaker 3 There's a Tiger one similar where it makes it look, you know, deep fake internet stuff, where it makes it look like he walks it in and he just turns around before the putt even drops.

Speaker 3 He's got to start doing that for real. Yeah.

Speaker 3 That's some big baller stuff.

Speaker 2 Yeah, I think he first he needs to.

Speaker 2 Yeah, if he, if, if Max Homa does that in a major and it works, I think we can say that that's the coolest moment in golf history. Yep.

Speaker 2 If he walks away from a putt when it's, what did you say, more than five feet, five feet or further from the hole, and it goes in, like, yes, he is now your golden golf god.

Speaker 1 Yep.

Speaker 3 Yeah, the deep fake video, he basically hits it and then turns around.

Speaker 1 Okay, good. Who's back?

Speaker 2 Thanks. Great job, Hank.
Thank you.

Speaker 1 DFC.

Speaker 2 My who's back of the week is Atlantis Morset,

Speaker 2 Sublime, The Lumineers,

Speaker 2 Dave Matthews, Cindy Lauper, Jimmy World,

Speaker 2 and Pup Punk. Nice.
Because Ocean's Calling Music Festival is on Saturday. Pup Punk, we've been asked to play basically in front of like every band that I listened to when I was 12 to 16 years old.

Speaker 1 I still listen to the Lumineers. They're awesome.

Speaker 2 Yeah, so it is actually, this is a perfect time for the Lumineers.

Speaker 1 This is the time of year where they're the hottest. I always just

Speaker 1 hit Lumineers all of October and just fucking let it run.

Speaker 2 Yeah, all I really want out of this weekend, it should be fun. It's the Oceans Calling Music Festival.
It's in Ocean City. So come out to the festival.

Speaker 2 If not, to see us and Pup Punk, it's me, Roan, Robbie, Frankie, and Nick. And we're going to have a great time.
We're going to play some songs that you guys all know and love, hopefully.

Speaker 2 And we're just going to party your dicks off. I'm just mostly excited about the possibility of meeting Sublime when I'm there.

Speaker 1 Yeah, that's exactly.

Speaker 2 Because if you had told 12-year-old me you're going to meet Sublime and Boomer all in one calendar year, I think I would say like, okay,

Speaker 2 I'll accept that. I'll accept that for my life.

Speaker 3 I don't want to be a Debbie Downer here, and I'm not too

Speaker 3 well-versed on my rock and roll history, but

Speaker 3 isn't like one of Sublime.

Speaker 1 Yeah, Bradley's dead.

Speaker 2 Yeah, Bradley died in 1996.

Speaker 2 Heroin overdose.

Speaker 2 Before he even got

Speaker 1 breaking news. Yeah.

Speaker 3 So when you say meet Sublime.

Speaker 1 Well, the other band members.

Speaker 2 Bud Gaw, Eric Wilson's still around.

Speaker 3 That's what I thought. I kind of.

Speaker 1 Yes, the main guy that you think of in Sublime

Speaker 1 has been been dead for a very long time, Hank. Thank you.

Speaker 2 I never even knew he was alive until I found out that he was dead. That's how dead he's been.
Yeah.

Speaker 1 Thanks, thanks, Hank. Kirk Cobain.
Yeah. Yeah.
Yeah. Jimi Hendrix would be there.

Speaker 1 All right. This is the way I was.

Speaker 1 Yeah, no, no, no. That's fine.

Speaker 2 No, just take the win. Completely.

Speaker 1 Bands do keep playing when it's 1 a.m.

Speaker 1 What? It's 1 a.m. It's 1 a.m.
Yeah, it is 1 a.m. All right, May who's back? This one sucks.

Speaker 1 Albert Puloffs, whatever.

Speaker 2 It is 700.

Speaker 1 699 and 700. Apple TV, though, so it didn't really count.
Yep. But it was,

Speaker 1 I hate the guy. I hate the Cardinals.
But even after kind of ruminating for a little bit and being salty about it and pretending that I was asleep and tweeting through it,

Speaker 1 I was like, you know what? That was a fucking cool moment. And that's the only nice thing I'll say about Albert Pulos and the Cardinals.
So that was a cool moment. Good for him.

Speaker 1 He did it the clean way.

Speaker 1 And good for him.

Speaker 2 So there we go. And honestly, too, in terms of his personal information.

Speaker 1 Yep. Yep.
Exactly. The high school picture of Albertujos.

Speaker 1 He's fucking 40. But yeah, 700, four guys ever.
It's fucking crazy.

Speaker 1 So, again, this is it. I will never say it again.
If you clip this and tweet it back at me, I will block you. Good for Albertujos.
That was a cool moment.

Speaker 1 You are now part of a very, very exclusive baseball history club.

Speaker 2 Who else is in that club, big cat?

Speaker 1 Babe Ruth. Uh-huh.

Speaker 1 Barry Bonds, who we recognize. Yes.
And Hank Aaron. Wow.
That's it. It's rarefied there.
Four guys. That's it.
All those guys and no one else.

Speaker 1 Pretty fucking crazy when you think about it.

Speaker 2 We do recognize Barry Bonds on this show.

Speaker 1 He's the best baseball player of all time on this show.

Speaker 2 Billy. My who's back is Zach Wilson.

Speaker 11 He's officially back and cleared to play next week against Pittsburgh at Pittsburgh, a game we can win. And it's been a long time coming.

Speaker 1 No, Mike White. Wait, is this breaking news?

Speaker 1 Is it officially clear?

Speaker 11 Yeah, Silas said it after in the press conference.

Speaker 1 Hell yeah.

Speaker 11 I don't know if it's breaking, breaking news. It wasn't.

Speaker 1 No, we had it first. Yeah, we had it first.
Good job, Billy.

Speaker 1 Yeah, you broke the news. Take credit, dude.
I am taking credit. Yeah, you broke the fucking news.

Speaker 1 If anyone else tries to say they broke the news, on Sunday, people will, like, Ian Rapper will be like, breaking news. Zach Wilson is starting today.
No, no, no. Billy Football had it 1 a.m.

Speaker 1 Monday morning. Yeah.

Speaker 1 Facts.

Speaker 1 You better hope he plays. I know.

Speaker 1 I know. Your reputation is on the line.
I know.

Speaker 11 And Sam Ellinger is in his performing as well as.

Speaker 1 Yeah, I saw you updated your chart.

Speaker 2 He was inactive today.

Speaker 11 I know. But he's been on a steady.

Speaker 2 But they won. Yeah.
Sam Ellinger's team beat the Chiefs today.

Speaker 1 Yeah.

Speaker 1 But yeah, Billy had to begrudgingly credit to Billy. He did update his chart.
Trevor Lawrence might be better than Sam Ellinger.

Speaker 2 Well, I think it's time that we asked the question, though, was Sam Ellinger doing doing such a good job as scout team Patrick Mahomes this week? True.

Speaker 2 He's probably the only quarterback in the league that could compare and prepare his own defense for what playing against Patrick looks like. Right.

Speaker 1 Facts.

Speaker 11 But on the chart, it's just a little dip of going down.

Speaker 1 Okay, that's fine. Yeah.

Speaker 2 All right. It's a marathon, not a sprint.

Speaker 1 Jake, finish us off.

Speaker 5 My who's back is Rihanna.

Speaker 1 We had announced in the afternoon today.

Speaker 5 She will be headlining the Super Bowl halftime show. Swifties,

Speaker 5 they got teased. There were rumors that Taylor Swift was going to do it.
it was never confirmed, and here we are.

Speaker 2 Oh, I didn't even know that there were rumors about that.

Speaker 1 Yeah, yeah, there were.

Speaker 5 Good, yeah, Rihanna. So we have our sequel halftime show.

Speaker 1 Love it, love it. Okay, numbers.
Good show, everyone.

Speaker 1 Uh, Hall of Fame guest on Wednesday.

Speaker 1 Oh,

Speaker 1 Billy, let's clap it up.

Speaker 1 I know what clappy was doing, too. Let's clap it.
That was a specific clap he was doing.

Speaker 3 Yep, 17.

Speaker 11 69.

Speaker 1 Let me get that. Actually, that will give it away away to some people.
Let me get

Speaker 2 that 75

Speaker 1 26. I'll go with two

Speaker 1 20

Speaker 1 Heg, have you ever gotten this? No

Speaker 1 Really?

Speaker 1 Would you guess?

Speaker 13 17

Speaker 1 100! Oh, wow.

Speaker 11 Is that first time?

Speaker 1 Four times. We've had that four times.
100.

Speaker 2 I never remember that.

Speaker 1 We've had that four times. Triple digits.
And when Billy stole 69 from us, we actually wrote 69 on this. So if it came up, it's 69.

Speaker 11 Is it low-key 69?

Speaker 1 Well, you stole 69 from us.

Speaker 11 No, I kept it safe.

Speaker 2 I was kind of holding it together. You kept it safe.

Speaker 1 It was a hostage exchange. All right, we'll see everyone on Wednesday.

Speaker 11 Sharks are older than the rings of Saturn.

Speaker 2 Love you guys.

Speaker 1 Yeah,

Speaker 1 you called it.

Speaker 2 Yep, called it.

Speaker 1 Hell yeah.

Speaker 1 PFT said you were going to use that like as we were walking out of the studio on Thursday. Yeah.

Speaker 11 Well, yeah, because you told it to me and I added it to my list.

Speaker 1 Yeah.

Speaker 2 Yeah.

Speaker 4 No, I just called it. But you also said it was macrodism.

Speaker 1 Yeah.

Speaker 1 Called it. Knew it was going to be said.

Speaker 1 Sweet. Sweet.

Speaker 1 Needless to say,

Speaker 1 I thought today's birthday's overlay.

Speaker 1 Smelling the mind is okay. Say I'm me.

Speaker 1 It's the better to be safe and sorry.

Speaker 1 Drink of me. Hey,
