- 2:28Speaker 3: you all. Ashley Ryan is here, former Mariner Bucky Jacobson.
- 2:31Speaker 3: My name is Chuck Powell. We've got a cast of
- 2:34Speaker 3: thousands or three that are gonna join us as our
- 2:36Speaker 3: experts throughout the course of our four hours together. But
- 2:40Speaker 3: my goodness, what an entertaining evening. And it turned out
- 2:44Speaker 3: just right, just the way that it was supposed to
- 2:47Speaker 3: go Seahawks with a win thirty eight to thirty seven
- 2:50Speaker 3: over the Los Angeles Rams. Are you not entertained, Bucky?
- 2:54Speaker 4: Oh?
- 2:54Speaker 5: I don't know how you could not be entertained that
- 2:56Speaker 5: that is a guarantee. I mean, that definitely the best
- 2:59Speaker 5: game I've seen in a long time, and I can't
- 3:01Speaker 5: imagine a game that has more on the line. I mean,
- 3:05Speaker 5: I suppose than a Week eighteen where you're win and
- 3:07Speaker 5: you're in, and you're losing.
- 3:08Speaker 6: You're out.
- 3:09Speaker 5: But this one the idea of a number one seed, yeah,
- 3:12Speaker 5: I mean, typically if you're in that eighteenth week or
- 3:15Speaker 5: whatever and it's it's win and get in, you're not
- 3:18Speaker 5: also maybe going to get the number one seed or
- 3:21Speaker 5: be out.
- 3:22Speaker 6: That's not usually the way it works.
- 3:23Speaker 5: So this one has some big marbles on the table
- 3:26Speaker 5: and for it to live up to expectations and then
- 3:29Speaker 5: some I mean the back and forth way in which
- 3:32Speaker 5: it went definitely down the stretch was I mean, it
- 3:35Speaker 5: was crazy. That place was insane. I'm sure it sounded
- 3:37Speaker 5: like it was insane on TV. And just the way
- 3:40Speaker 5: in which that went down, I mean, the biggest comeback
- 3:43Speaker 5: in Seahawks' franchise history is.
- 3:45Speaker 3: Yeah, in a moment, Yeah, on that stage with all
- 3:48Speaker 3: that on the table. Yeah, incredible.
- 3:50Speaker 7: Yeah, it was a big enough deal. In the fourth
- 3:53Speaker 7: quarter that Palmer finally put down her iPad.
- 3:56Speaker 3: It it was like, I think I need to watch
- 3:57Speaker 3: this game.
- 3:59Speaker 7: I was like, oh, you've welcome to the world. I'm
- 4:02Speaker 7: just over here losing my you know what, all alone.
- 4:04Speaker 7: And then she was like oh, and then she just
- 4:07Speaker 7: couldn't sit still. She was pacing, she was screaming. We
- 4:09Speaker 7: were jumping up and down. I mean, you would have
- 4:11Speaker 7: thought we won the Super Bowl if you were outside
- 4:13Speaker 7: our house and heard how loud just the two of
- 4:15Speaker 7: us were.
- 4:16Speaker 3: I think that your neighbors probably didn't notice it because
- 4:20Speaker 3: they were likely celebrating just as crazily. Probably it was
- 4:24Speaker 3: just an insane game, and certainly it did look lost
- 4:29Speaker 3: at one point in the contest, There's no question about it.
- 4:32Speaker 3: I'm not sure that Alan Kirk should have started folding
- 4:35Speaker 3: up the tent and started previewing what the Rams playoff
- 4:39Speaker 3: schedule is going to look like. I'm not sure. Maybe
- 4:41Speaker 3: that was a little premature, but it certainly was a case.
- 4:46Speaker 3: I mean, I spoke about this since the Seahawks lost
- 4:49Speaker 3: to the Rams twenty one to nineteen. I thought that
- 4:51Speaker 3: the Seahawks outplayed them and the Rams won the game.
- 4:55Speaker 3: We're even now because Staffords River four hundred and fifty
- 5:01Speaker 3: seven yards. Buka Nikoua was unstoppable and Yet even though
- 5:07Speaker 3: the Seahawks statistically just got outplayed, they're the ones that
- 5:12Speaker 3: ended up making the key pivotal plays down the stretch,
- 5:15Speaker 3: including three two point conversions that were converted and eventually
- 5:23Speaker 3: the game winner to Eric Saubert in overtime to win
- 5:27Speaker 3: at thirty eight to thirty seven. But you know what,
- 5:31Speaker 3: you know, even up, even up at this point, and
- 5:34Speaker 3: you lost a game at Carolina, So nanny, nanny booboo.
- 5:37Speaker 3: We're in first place right now and we control our
- 5:40Speaker 3: fate going forward as we pull off the win last night.
- 5:44Speaker 3: But certainly there was there. I mean, I wrote down
- 5:48Speaker 3: at the halftime part of the game, I wrote down, Man,
- 5:52Speaker 3: I can't believe we're getting dominated upfront. I just didn't
- 5:55Speaker 3: think that the Seahawks defense could ever get dominated upfront,
- 5:59Speaker 3: and the Rams were just bullsh last night. At the
- 6:03Speaker 3: beginning of the game, Matt Stafford had one hundred and
- 6:05Speaker 3: thirty passing yards the last time total that he faced
- 6:08Speaker 3: Mike McDonald. He had one hundred and twenty three in
- 6:10Speaker 3: the first quarter. So where were those adjustments? They did
- 6:14Speaker 3: eventually take place. The defense did step up in the
- 6:17Speaker 3: second half at some point, but still not to the
- 6:20Speaker 3: tune of kind of stemy ing Stafford like you did
- 6:23Speaker 3: in the Rams win the previous time. There was a
- 6:27Speaker 3: moment where and it was in the fourth quarter, a
- 6:31Speaker 3: second interception where I did have to write down, gosh am,
- 6:35Speaker 3: I gonna have to admit tomorrow that maybe the Rams
- 6:38Speaker 3: have Sam Darnold's number. I mean, a sample size of
- 6:41Speaker 3: three games seems awfully small for this to have been
- 6:44Speaker 3: a national narrative all week long. But man, that's a
- 6:48Speaker 3: lot of interceptions against one team over the course of
- 6:50Speaker 3: three games. So even wrote that down at one point.
- 6:54Speaker 3: But the game turned on Rashid Shaheed's punt return. It
- 6:59Speaker 3: changed the higher momentum, changed the entire complexion of the game,
- 7:04Speaker 3: and eventually that spark led to the Seahawks pulling off
- 7:08Speaker 3: I wouldn't say an impossible comeback, but certainly an improbable one.
- 7:12Speaker 6: Well, one they'd never done before, right, what was it?
- 7:15Speaker 5: One zero in one seventy two and trailing in the
- 7:19Speaker 5: fourth quarter by fifteen points or more. I mean, you
- 7:21Speaker 5: just that basically says they've never had done that before,
- 7:25Speaker 5: and so it's not impossible. We witnessed that last night.
- 7:28Speaker 5: That's what I love about sports is that there is
- 7:31Speaker 5: a chance that you could see something that they have
- 7:33Speaker 5: that team or a team no one has ever done
- 7:36Speaker 5: before on any given night. It didn't look like it
- 7:38Speaker 5: was going to go that way. I mean that when
- 7:40Speaker 5: Darnald threw that interception, And that's probably the thing I
- 7:43Speaker 5: would be happiest most about is Sam Darnald not having
- 7:47Speaker 5: to answer the questions had he thrown another pick. I mean,
- 7:50Speaker 5: he not only did not throw a pick when he
- 7:52Speaker 5: needed to down the stretch to drive down there and
- 7:54Speaker 5: get that touchdown in overtime and the two point conversion
- 7:59Speaker 5: to get that monkey off his back, but had he
- 8:02Speaker 5: thrown another pick in that situation, I mean, the conversation
- 8:05Speaker 5: that would be going around right now, Oh Jesus horrible and.
- 8:10Speaker 7: No, and it would have been we've got the wrong guy.
- 8:12Speaker 6: Yeah, it would have been.
- 8:14Speaker 2: Yeah.
- 8:14Speaker 6: I mean, you look at Twitter.
- 8:15Speaker 5: I didn't look at it all during the game, but
- 8:17Speaker 5: afterwards I ended up looking through there, and you see
- 8:19Speaker 5: people that were tweeting, you know, an hour before the
- 8:22Speaker 5: game was over, and it's like, you know, what, screw it,
- 8:24Speaker 5: go get to you know, San Darnold, guy's garbage. It's like,
- 8:29Speaker 5: so there was a lot of the negative stuff and
- 8:31Speaker 5: understandably so because they were absolutely dominant.
- 8:35Speaker 6: I mean, the Rams were dominant at moving the ball.
- 8:37Speaker 5: They they turned over the ball on downs their first
- 8:39Speaker 5: possession and then scored on the next six possessions. And
- 8:42Speaker 5: and yeah, the defense bowed up on a couple of
- 8:45Speaker 5: and for some field goals that got kind of helped
- 8:49Speaker 5: out with a penalty on the one that was a
- 8:51Speaker 5: touchdown taken back, and then they kicked the field goal
- 8:53Speaker 5: their second possession. But for the most part, it was
- 8:56Speaker 5: they were moving the ball up and down, passing and running,
- 8:59Speaker 5: doing doing whatever they wanted. They were moving the ball
- 9:02Speaker 5: on that defense, which we haven't seen anybody do, including
- 9:05Speaker 5: the Rams the first time that they played. And so
- 9:08Speaker 5: they did enough when they needed to. And for you know,
- 9:11Speaker 5: kudo's hat, tip of the hat to Sam Donald to
- 9:14Speaker 5: throw those interceptions some bad ones down when you have
- 9:17Speaker 5: points on the board, you're down, getting ready to punch
- 9:19Speaker 5: it in and you throw it right to that defensive
- 9:21Speaker 5: lineman on that one. There was times where you would
- 9:24Speaker 5: think a guy maybe starts to feel like, man, maybe
- 9:27Speaker 5: these guys have my number. It doesn't matter how many
- 9:29Speaker 5: people in the stadium or watching the game thought maybe
- 9:31Speaker 5: the Rams have his number. He didn't think the Rams
- 9:34Speaker 5: have his number. He's like, that's all right if I
- 9:36Speaker 5: get another chance. And that dime he threw to was
- 9:39Speaker 5: a Cooper cup, that one that is one of the
- 9:42Speaker 5: better throws.
- 9:43Speaker 3: One jsn as well over on the sideline, which was impossible.
- 9:47Speaker 3: And I think that's been the signature of Sam Donald
- 9:50Speaker 3: since he's put on this Seahawk uniform. All Right, he's
- 9:53Speaker 3: committed a lot of turnovers, but he really hasn't changed
- 9:58Speaker 3: the way he played for the first time. As I'm
- 10:00Speaker 3: writing down that note, Ashley, I'm sitting here thinking, oh, man,
- 10:04Speaker 3: what is this going to do to Sam? Do I
- 10:07Speaker 3: really have to admit that might maybe he has a
- 10:09Speaker 3: RAM issue? And yet down the stretch despite the two
- 10:13Speaker 3: bad interceptions, you know, maybe maybe he got jarred by
- 10:19Speaker 3: the failures in the game last night. But man, when
- 10:22Speaker 3: it mattered most, he stepped up and he ends up
- 10:24Speaker 3: throwing the game winning score. So I think that narrative
- 10:28Speaker 3: just ran a muck for weeks now. I even had
- 10:33Speaker 3: to hear it this morning on the drive end, still
- 10:36Speaker 3: doubting him because he still hasn't won a playoff game.
- 10:39Speaker 3: So I mean, this is.
- 10:41Speaker 7: He's played in one playoff game and he lost it.
- 10:43Speaker 7: He can't just the people can't just keep it's one
- 10:46Speaker 7: playoff game.
- 10:46Speaker 3: Well, I mean people are certainly nationally and maybe even
- 10:50Speaker 3: local fans that if you turned on him that quickly.
- 10:52Speaker 3: There was way too much booing last night, by the way,
- 10:55Speaker 3: for a team that went into that game eleven and
- 10:57Speaker 3: three when they were supposed to win eight and a
- 10:58Speaker 3: half games this year. But Sam Donald, you know, yes,
- 11:04Speaker 3: he was not very good in the first half of
- 11:06Speaker 3: his career, but Hugh Millan's done an excellent job all
- 11:08Speaker 3: season long illustrating this isn't the same Sam Donald. Guys
- 11:11Speaker 3: can change, Guys can become different quarterbacks through different experiences,
- 11:17Speaker 3: and sometimes the light bulb goes on later in certain guys' careers.
- 11:22Speaker 3: Rich Gannon's a perfect example of that one an MVP
- 11:25Speaker 3: after being a career backup, and maybe and that seems
- 11:28Speaker 3: to have happened to Sam Darnold. He's unlike ninety percent
- 11:30Speaker 3: of his games in the last two years, and you
- 11:33Speaker 3: can't hold his early failures against this version of Sam Donald.
- 11:37Speaker 3: This Sam Donald has way too much of a small
- 11:40Speaker 3: sample size and big game opportunities to be judged that way.
- 11:44Speaker 3: But certainly I did have to like give rise to
- 11:48Speaker 3: the consideration when he threw the second interception in a
- 11:53Speaker 3: really pivotal moment, as Bucky pointed out, And yet he
- 11:56Speaker 3: ends up pulling it out. And so hopefully we can
- 11:59Speaker 3: back off of this narrative. And uh, he still asked
- 12:02Speaker 3: to win a playoff game. He's still asked to end
- 12:04Speaker 3: up wrapping up the division. But certainly Sam Donald stepped
- 12:08Speaker 3: up when you absolutely had to have him last night
- 12:11Speaker 3: and got you to win.
- 12:12Speaker 7: Yeah, And that is the thing that that second interception
- 12:15Speaker 7: I also thought. I was like, oh gosh, please Sam not,
- 12:17Speaker 7: please don't do this because I really wanted him to
- 12:19Speaker 7: have a good game. I wanted him to recover from
- 12:22Speaker 7: the four interceptions. I mean, Kurt j.
- 12:24Speaker 3: Platt didn't see that guy, No he didn't. He did
- 12:26Speaker 3: not expect.
- 12:28Speaker 7: And yeah, they were baiting him to throw it where
- 12:31Speaker 7: he was good. Yeah, he fell for it. And that
- 12:33Speaker 7: was a good job on the Rams. I mean that
- 12:35Speaker 7: should be kudos to the Rams. Yep, on that play.
- 12:38Speaker 3: That's a Mike McDonald thing. That's the thing Mike McDonald would.
- 12:41Speaker 7: Yeah, it is, it is. And but as I kept
- 12:43Speaker 7: thinking that whole second half of the game. Here he
- 12:46Speaker 7: goes again, because he is not just like you said,
- 12:49Speaker 7: he was not afraid, he was not backing down. He
- 12:52Speaker 7: was not going to let any mistakes cloud his judgment
- 12:57Speaker 7: for how he needed to play in order for us
- 12:59Speaker 7: to even have a chance to win that game. And
- 13:01Speaker 7: he stepped up. And it wasn't just him. I mean,
- 13:03Speaker 7: we came out and we started quick. That was I mean,
- 13:06Speaker 7: to score a touchdown on our first possession. I was like, WHOA,
- 13:10Speaker 7: where's this been?
- 13:11Speaker 3: This is magical Walker's best game of the year.
- 13:14Speaker 7: Yeah, it was awesome.
- 13:15Speaker 3: Don't know why he only had eleven carries in it. Yeah,
- 13:18Speaker 3: don't know why I only had fourteen touches the way
- 13:20Speaker 3: he was running last night. But he played his best game.
- 13:23Speaker 3: And look, I mean there were a lot of things
- 13:26Speaker 3: that changed there in the second half, Like defensively. Herbstreet
- 13:31Speaker 3: pointed it out, and he pointed it out at the
- 13:33Speaker 3: exact moment that I did. As much energy that went
- 13:36Speaker 3: into this game and as much hype that went into
- 13:38Speaker 3: this game, the Seahawks really defensively, I didn't feel started
- 13:42Speaker 3: playing like rabid dogs until they absolutely had to, until
- 13:46Speaker 3: they were backed into the corner, and Herbstreet pointed it out.
- 13:50Speaker 3: I thought at the exact time that he should have, like,
- 13:53Speaker 3: this intensity has changed. It's changed with the fans, yep,
- 13:57Speaker 3: in the side the building, and it's changed on the
- 13:59Speaker 3: defensive side of the football. And they were they were
- 14:04Speaker 3: getting pushed around for most of the game. And when
- 14:07Speaker 3: it's as if when they lost all of the members
- 14:10Speaker 3: of their secondary and I can't even believe how many
- 14:13Speaker 3: injuries that we suffered and still somehow and the secondary
- 14:16Speaker 3: and somehow pulled off that win. But it's as if
- 14:18Speaker 3: when they realized, man, we can't lose one more guy
- 14:22Speaker 3: and those guys need our help, that they took it
- 14:26Speaker 3: to another gear. Yeah, it felt to me like one
- 14:30Speaker 3: of the most intense front sevens in the National Football
- 14:34Speaker 3: League all season long needed to absolutely be backed into
- 14:37Speaker 3: the corner to raise their game to the level that
- 14:40Speaker 3: was necessary to somehow slow down Stafford, get pressure on
- 14:46Speaker 3: him and give yourself a chance, give Sam a chance
- 14:49Speaker 3: to bring the offense back and win this game. And
- 14:51Speaker 3: it happened just in the nick of time. The intensity
- 14:54Speaker 3: definitely ratcheted up on the defensive side.
- 14:57Speaker 5: Well yeah, I mean when they end up you know,
- 14:59Speaker 5: when the went down and made it thirty to fourteen.
- 15:02Speaker 5: That's when most people, including most Seahawk fans, thought the
- 15:05Speaker 5: game was over, and understandably so, there was no there
- 15:08Speaker 5: was nothing in sight that looked like you were going
- 15:11Speaker 5: to be able to stop them, let alone be able
- 15:14Speaker 5: to just get you know, sixteen points to tie that.
- 15:16Speaker 6: Thing up in the fourth quarter.
- 15:19Speaker 5: And you know, I mean, you hadn't scored you know,
- 15:21Speaker 5: that many points in the three quarters leading up to that,
- 15:23Speaker 5: or three and a half quarters leading up to that,
- 15:24Speaker 5: So it did feel like, Okay, this is kind of
- 15:29Speaker 5: all for not like you just didn't show up in
- 15:31Speaker 5: the biggest game of the season. And yet the part
- 15:34Speaker 5: of the team that has been the identity of the
- 15:37Speaker 5: team is the defense and the defense. Finally, I think
- 15:40Speaker 5: it was Ernest Jones said afterwards and his little thing
- 15:44Speaker 5: like what happened to you guys? And he goes, oh,
- 15:46Speaker 5: they started laughing in our face. They thought this s
- 15:50Speaker 5: was over, yep, And they don't know that we were
- 15:52Speaker 5: going to play till the end. Now, you sometimes don't
- 15:55Speaker 5: get to play three and a half quarters of getting
- 15:57Speaker 5: dominated by a team that I mean, their offense just
- 16:00Speaker 5: flat out dominated our defense yesterday. And yet if you
- 16:04Speaker 5: can find a way. I don't want to say. I
- 16:07Speaker 5: don't think that that McVeigh or Stafford put their feet
- 16:12Speaker 5: up on the desk and just stopped trying.
- 16:15Speaker 6: You know.
- 16:15Speaker 5: They I think they understood, like, let's all right, we're
- 16:17Speaker 5: putting it on them, let's finish this whole thing. But
- 16:19Speaker 5: the defense did step up. They said, well, we got
- 16:22Speaker 5: to do our job. We we better start doing our
- 16:24Speaker 5: job now or we've got no chance. We give up
- 16:26Speaker 5: any more points. At this point in time, it almost
- 16:28Speaker 5: makes it insurmountable. And so they did, to the degree
- 16:32Speaker 5: of basically holding them to that long ish field goal
- 16:35Speaker 5: that they ended up missing.
- 16:36Speaker 6: And that was it again.
- 16:38Speaker 5: It was after that that punt return, it was like
- 16:40Speaker 5: the momentum shifted, the defense kicked into gear. They did enough,
- 16:44Speaker 5: start playing better, Yeah, Sharper, they did enough, and the.
- 16:47Speaker 3: Receivers started making ridiculous catches. Yeah. I mean, it just
- 16:51Speaker 3: kind of all came together.
- 16:52Speaker 7: That catch, that Cooper Cup catch that then was a fumble,
- 16:56Speaker 7: was a ridiculous catch. I mean, the pass was great,
- 16:58Speaker 7: the catch was great, and it was It's like when
- 17:00Speaker 7: he fumbled out, I thought, oh my god, no, we
- 17:03Speaker 7: had such a chance at that moment to really see
- 17:05Speaker 7: the momentum going into halftime.
- 17:07Speaker 3: You know, I think that's a great point, and I
- 17:09Speaker 3: want to I'll point it out now in case it
- 17:11Speaker 3: doesn't come back up, because and it probably will, let's
- 17:14Speaker 3: face it. But I mean, it said all day yesterday,
- 17:19Speaker 3: you just can't lose the turnover battle by three or more. Yeah,
- 17:22Speaker 3: they lost the turnover battle by three or more. And
- 17:24Speaker 3: not only did they lose the turnover battle by three
- 17:27Speaker 3: or more and ended up winning the game, those three
- 17:30Speaker 3: turnovers could not have come at worse times.
- 17:33Speaker 7: Worst, I mean the worst times.
- 17:35Speaker 3: Yes, I mean it's like you look like all three
- 17:37Speaker 3: times you had seized the momentum.
- 17:39Speaker 7: Yep, and you were moving the ball, well, moving.
- 17:42Speaker 3: The ball, getting ready to score and despite the rams
- 17:46Speaker 3: kind of shoving it down your throat for the first half,
- 17:49Speaker 3: it looked like three different times you had overcome that
- 17:52Speaker 3: for reversing it. Okay, here we go, You're getting ready
- 17:55Speaker 3: to score. And then not only do you commit the
- 17:58Speaker 3: three turnovers and they didn't commit any you just committed
- 18:01Speaker 3: them at the worst possible times, and the cup fumble
- 18:05Speaker 3: is included in that. So for you to overcome all
- 18:08Speaker 3: of that and somehow win the game, you probably did
- 18:10Speaker 3: have to have a special teams a special special teams play,
- 18:15Speaker 3: and you probably did need a bounce of the ball
- 18:18Speaker 3: here every once in a while. But yeah, I think
- 18:20Speaker 3: Bucky's right that once that momentum was officially seized, because
- 18:25Speaker 3: I wrote it down after the Rashid punt return and
- 18:29Speaker 3: then the stoppage, they got the ball back and we stopped,
- 18:31Speaker 3: and then I wrote down the top of my sheet,
- 18:33Speaker 3: chance to tie all the momentum in the world. And
- 18:37Speaker 3: when you got that ball back, it's it's like everything
- 18:41Speaker 3: got better. Defense got more intense, Sam Darnold got sharper,
- 18:46Speaker 3: playmakers were making plays, and certainly, you know, you benefited
- 18:53Speaker 3: a little bit from the bounce of the ball, which
- 18:55Speaker 3: you probably needed to have happened for you as well
- 18:58Speaker 3: to overcome a sixteen point deficit against a potentially great
- 19:01Speaker 3: team in the fourth quarter. And we're going to get
- 19:03Speaker 3: into that bounce of the ball because it's going to
- 19:05Speaker 3: be a big topic of conversation. We got to talk
- 19:07Speaker 3: about the two point tries here today, and especially the
- 19:11Speaker 3: one that has caused the most conversation and maybe even controversy.
- 19:15Speaker 3: So we'll talk about that in our next segment. But
- 19:17Speaker 3: let's find out what's on tap for the entire show today?
- 19:23Speaker 3: What's on TEP?
- 19:25Speaker 6: What's untech all right?
- 19:26Speaker 3: Seahawks thirty seven Ram or thirty eight Rams thirty seven
- 19:30Speaker 3: in overtime, Most incredible game of the year. The Seahawks
- 19:33Speaker 3: improved a twelve and three. They do take over first
- 19:36Speaker 3: place in the NFC West. They are in control of
- 19:39Speaker 3: getting the one seed now and home field advantage throughout
- 19:43Speaker 3: the NFC playoffs, which is a monstrous advantage always has been,
- 19:47Speaker 3: even more so now that fourteen teams make the playoffs.
- 19:51Speaker 3: They'll play at Carolina next week and at San Francisco,
- 19:54Speaker 3: so it's you know, the Hayes not in the barn.
- 19:56Speaker 3: There's still a lot of work to be done. The
- 19:59Speaker 3: Los ange Angelus Rams will play at Atlanta next week
- 20:02Speaker 3: and they'll be taking on Arizona in the final week,
- 20:05Speaker 3: so they have an easier schedule the rest of the way.
- 20:07Speaker 3: Pooka Nikua, who caused all sorts of headlines going in
- 20:12Speaker 3: to the game last night forty eight hours before, caused
- 20:15Speaker 3: more last night. He tweeted immediately after the game, See
- 20:19Speaker 3: I told you the rest do things intentionally to help
- 20:22Speaker 3: teams win games, something to that effect. It's not word
- 20:25Speaker 3: for word, but they couldn't even get it erased before
- 20:30Speaker 3: it turned into a story.
- 20:32Speaker 7: It's everywhere.
- 20:32Speaker 3: I mean, it got to be a story before Sean
- 20:35Speaker 3: McVay could even make his way to the podium. He
- 20:37Speaker 3: didn't even know about it and got blindsided with it
- 20:40Speaker 3: from reporters who didn't ask about blowing a sixteen point lead.
- 20:43Speaker 3: Their first six questions were about Poka Nakua and McVeigh
- 20:47Speaker 3: nearly lost his mind. We'll talk about that coming up
- 20:50Speaker 3: here in a little bit. Humel it'll be with us
- 20:52Speaker 3: at eight. Mike holm'er gonna be with us at nine,
- 20:54Speaker 3: Greg Bell will be with us at seven. O five
- 20:57Speaker 3: should also mention it is a college football playoffs starting
- 21:00Speaker 3: tonight Bama at Oklahoma, and an entire weekend of NFL
- 21:05Speaker 3: and college football action. And finally, Cracking did lose again
- 21:08Speaker 3: last night to the Calgary Flames, four to two. They've
- 21:11Speaker 3: lost ten out of eleven games, all right, so pretty
- 21:14Speaker 3: much the entire show today is going to be about
- 21:16Speaker 3: this incredible game coming up. On the other side, we'll
- 21:19Speaker 3: hear of some audio, we'll hear from Ernest Jones, We're
- 21:21Speaker 3: going to hear from Sean McVeigh, and we'll talk about
- 21:24Speaker 3: those two point tries. Sports Radio ninety three point three KJRFM,
- 21:48Speaker 3: Chalk Buck and Ashley with you here on this football Friday.
- 21:52Speaker 3: My goodness, what a game last night. Seahawks win it
- 21:56Speaker 3: an overtime thirty eight to thirty seven. We are well
- 21:59Speaker 3: underway our four hour discussion about this game last night,
- 22:02Speaker 3: and our experts are forthcoming, Greg Bell, Hugh mill and
- 22:05Speaker 3: Mike Holmgren to all be with us before ten o'clock
- 22:07Speaker 3: here today.
- 22:08Speaker 7: I can't wait to hear what they all have to say.
- 22:10Speaker 3: Oh my gosh, Hugh Millan is just chewing through the walls.
- 22:13Speaker 7: He was so pumped yesterday. I imagine how that the
- 22:15Speaker 7: energy in his house during that game.
- 22:17Speaker 3: He'll probably mention something like I'm sorry you too. There's
- 22:21Speaker 3: no way baseball can match this. Probably I wouldn't. So
- 22:27Speaker 3: they're on their way. Our experts are on their way.
- 22:30Speaker 3: We're all here from Mike McDonald in this normal spot.
- 22:32Speaker 3: At seven forty five, we'll here from Sean McVay in
- 22:34Speaker 3: a moment particularly about the two point conversion, the controversial
- 22:38Speaker 3: two point conversion. Before we play the audio, I think
- 22:41Speaker 3: it is worth pointing out that the momentum had completely
- 22:45Speaker 3: shifted by the time that controversial two point conversion that
- 22:50Speaker 3: Zach Sharbonay just picked up in the end zone actually
- 22:53Speaker 3: had taken place. I mean, we were within two yes
- 22:56Speaker 3: with six minutes to go. It's not like that play,
- 23:00Speaker 3: you know, left them with no time on the clock
- 23:02Speaker 3: to possibly overcome it. I mean the Seahawks had done
- 23:05Speaker 3: a lot of great things to get them back in
- 23:08Speaker 3: that position, starting with the Shaheed punt return that changed
- 23:12Speaker 3: the game. Then they converted a clear two point conversion
- 23:15Speaker 3: to put them within a score. Then they stopped Stafford
- 23:18Speaker 3: on three and out on the very next drive defensively,
- 23:22Speaker 3: That's when I wrote down all the momentum in the world.
- 23:24Speaker 3: Then they put together a two play, fifty seven yard
- 23:27Speaker 3: touchdown drive with a thirty one yard reverse to Shahed
- 23:31Speaker 3: and then that beautiful role left throwback right touchdown pass
- 23:35Speaker 3: to Barner, which was a much more difficult catch than
- 23:37Speaker 3: he made it look. And so you've gotten back to
- 23:40Speaker 3: within two points, not through anything flucish, I mean you
- 23:44Speaker 3: had seized control. Not to mention that prior to that,
- 23:47Speaker 3: Sam Darnold had driven the team down to first and goal,
- 23:49Speaker 3: and then through the interception to Kobe Turner. So it's
- 23:52Speaker 3: not like the Seahawks weren't doing a lot of great
- 23:54Speaker 3: things during that stretch to put themselves back in the game.
- 23:57Speaker 3: So I just don't want to hear the echo of
- 24:00Speaker 3: this two point controversy in my head from Rams fans
- 24:04Speaker 3: for the rest of my life. And the two point try,
- 24:07Speaker 3: let's face it was called accurately. Now, I didn't know
- 24:12Speaker 3: that that was the rule either, And if I were
- 24:15Speaker 3: the Rams, I'd be like, you gotta be kidding me.
- 24:18Speaker 3: I certainly would have this. You've got to be ssing
- 24:21Speaker 3: me right now. There is no way that that just happened.
- 24:25Speaker 3: But nonetheless, it was a two point try. It looked
- 24:29Speaker 3: just like a run of the mill failed two point try.
- 24:32Speaker 3: Sam Darnold tries to throw it out to Zach Charbonah
- 24:35Speaker 3: didn't even like the play call. But it gets batted
- 24:38Speaker 3: down by Jared Versus head, really bounces in the air,
- 24:42Speaker 3: almost gets picked off by Durant near the end zone,
- 24:45Speaker 3: and then it rolls to a stop and Zach Charbona
- 24:48Speaker 3: is the only guy that walked over to pick it up.
- 24:51Speaker 3: Terry McCauley, who is the gene sterotur of Thursday Night Football,
- 24:56Speaker 3: picked up on it immediately we were wondering, what's the
- 24:58Speaker 3: delay about, and McCauley's guys, that might be a backward pass.
- 25:03Speaker 3: And if that's the case, that recovery by Sharbonay in
- 25:07Speaker 3: the end zone is a successful two point conversion.
- 25:10Speaker 7: It's so crazy.
- 25:11Speaker 3: So he was all over it right from the outset,
- 25:15Speaker 3: and yet I don't think anybody on either side of
- 25:18Speaker 3: the ball, including Zach Charbonay, knew oh yeah, that that
- 25:24Speaker 3: was going to be counted as a successful two point try.
- 25:27Speaker 3: It was undoubtedly a big play, but there was still
- 25:31Speaker 3: six and a half minutes left in the game and
- 25:33Speaker 3: the Rams had plenty of time to come back. But
- 25:36Speaker 3: Sean McVay couldn't wait to get to the podium to
- 25:39Speaker 3: complain about this rule.
- 25:41Speaker 8: I've never quite seen anything like what happened on the
- 25:43Speaker 8: two point conversion where you're lined up to kick off,
- 25:46Speaker 8: then they say it's a fumble because they had the
- 25:48Speaker 8: clear and obvious recovery. Now you tack it on, you
- 25:50Speaker 8: make it a thirty to thirty game. Very interesting. Didn't
- 25:54Speaker 8: get a clear explanation of everything that went on, just
- 25:57Speaker 8: because of some of the timing of it there to
- 26:00Speaker 8: be able to do that, But That's the thing that
- 26:01Speaker 8: I've said. I've never seen anything or never been a
- 26:04Speaker 8: part of anything like that, and I've grown up around
- 26:06Speaker 8: this game. I'm not making excuses.
- 26:08Speaker 6: We don't do that.
- 26:09Speaker 3: I don't believe in that.
- 26:10Speaker 8: It doesn't move us forward, but we do want clarity
- 26:13Speaker 8: and an understanding of, you know, the things that we
- 26:15Speaker 8: can do to minimize that. When we rejected the two
- 26:18Speaker 8: point conversion.
- 26:19Speaker 3: He's really good in every way. He's awesome at the
- 26:21Speaker 3: podium too, and I get I get why you're confused
- 26:24Speaker 3: and upset by that. And I agree with Kirk Kurbstrie
- 26:27Speaker 3: who said at the time, craziest two point conversion ever.
- 26:31Speaker 3: I think that it was the craziest two point conversion
- 26:33Speaker 3: I've ever seen at any level of football. But to
- 26:38Speaker 3: the letter of the law, it was the accurate call.
- 26:41Speaker 3: And Terry McCauley, who's had to defend it on social
- 26:44Speaker 3: media ever since that call, has made it very clear
- 26:48Speaker 3: that no matter how strange it looks, it is the
- 26:50Speaker 3: right call. Seahawk's just benefited from it.
- 26:53Speaker 5: Yeah, I mean, I mean, if it is backwards, which
- 26:56Speaker 5: it was right there on that line, and it did
- 26:58Speaker 5: look like from the angles of this they showed us
- 27:00Speaker 5: that yep, it probably was heading backwards.
- 27:02Speaker 6: Then it's a fumble.
- 27:03Speaker 5: And yet there was a whistle that was blown, which
- 27:07Speaker 5: that's where I think there's the if there's a ram
- 27:09Speaker 5: fan that's going to have anything to stand on, it's like,
- 27:11Speaker 5: well that, how is that in the rules?
- 27:13Speaker 6: It is in the rules.
- 27:14Speaker 5: Terrisly went in and said, the whistle doesn't mean anything.
- 27:17Speaker 5: It doesn't change. You can't say that he didn't still
- 27:21Speaker 5: pick up the ball after a fumble just because somebody
- 27:24Speaker 5: blew the whistle. The problem is is typically when you
- 27:27Speaker 5: blow the whistles, but everybody's like, well, the play's over them, right.
- 27:30Speaker 5: I mean, if there was something crazy that happened and
- 27:34Speaker 5: it was after the whistle was blown, you would think
- 27:35Speaker 5: that would be against the rules. So it's a it's
- 27:39Speaker 5: a sketchy one, but I think it's the correct play.
- 27:41Speaker 5: I think it's it's called the right way based on
- 27:43Speaker 5: how the rules are right now.
- 27:45Speaker 6: And yet so it's fumble and nobody picks it up.
- 27:47Speaker 5: It was Wade Phillips was was. I saw some tweet
- 27:52Speaker 5: that he said, he goes, That's why I've told defenses
- 27:54Speaker 5: for forty years. You see the ball in the ground,
- 27:57Speaker 5: you pick it up, period, just because you don't know
- 27:59Speaker 5: what the city situation is. I don't think anybody really
- 28:02Speaker 5: knew what the situation was there, and yet it is beneficial.
- 28:06Speaker 6: And to be honest, they needed everything.
- 28:07Speaker 5: Yeah, they had plenty of time left for this game
- 28:10Speaker 5: to go either way, but the way that it turned out,
- 28:12Speaker 5: they needed every single thing to go their way.
- 28:15Speaker 6: And that's just something I've never even seen before.
- 28:17Speaker 7: Yeah, and it was I mean clearly Zach Charmony wasn't
- 28:19Speaker 7: picking it up because he thought, oh that ball was fumbled,
- 28:21Speaker 7: Oh I need to jumped on it. Yeah, he walked
- 28:24Speaker 7: over casually grabbed it with one hand and thank you
- 28:26Speaker 7: for doing that.
- 28:27Speaker 3: Yeah, no doubt about it. But you know what I
- 28:30Speaker 3: will also say though, I mean you never know sliding doors,
- 28:35Speaker 3: how that affects the way that a team approaches. If
- 28:37Speaker 3: you're not tied and you're down two, you're going forward
- 28:40Speaker 3: on fourth down. We had two more we Seahawks had
- 28:43Speaker 3: two more possessions after that. Yeah, so maybe the play
- 28:46Speaker 3: calling is a little bit differently. Maybe you're a little
- 28:48Speaker 3: more successful with those two drives that you have, and
- 28:52Speaker 3: maybe you end up winning the game in regulation, but
- 28:54Speaker 3: you're calling the game differently because it's tied rather than
- 28:56Speaker 3: trailing by two points. So anybody any Ram, Sean McVay,
- 29:01Speaker 3: match Stafford, and I don't think there were making excuses.
- 29:05Speaker 3: I think it is legitimate to say I did not
- 29:07Speaker 3: know that that was a big play in the game.
- 29:09Speaker 3: But it has to stop there. If you're sitting there
- 29:11Speaker 3: at home, you're a Rams fan saying we lost because
- 29:13Speaker 3: of some stupid call and some stupid play that nobody
- 29:16Speaker 3: knew about. I mean, you know, yeah, it was a
- 29:19Speaker 3: big play, but sliding doors. Your your approach to those
- 29:25Speaker 3: two possessions change when you're down to versus tied. You know,
- 29:30Speaker 3: you don't want to blow the tie. So six and
- 29:33Speaker 3: a half minutes left in the game, I'm not going
- 29:35Speaker 3: to call that. And then I would also say, and
- 29:38Speaker 3: we're gonna get into Ernest Jones in the next segment.
- 29:40Speaker 3: I mean, Ernest to me, that was an interception. Yeah,
- 29:44Speaker 3: Phogan Nakuan never scores the touchdown in overtime, because to me,
- 29:49Speaker 3: that looked like an interception that looked to me as
- 29:50Speaker 3: clear as an interception by today's rules as the failed
- 29:56Speaker 3: two point conversion looked like a failed two point conversion.
- 29:59Speaker 3: But Harry McCauley again was just as convinced that Jones
- 30:04Speaker 3: did not intercept that ball as he was that that
- 30:07Speaker 3: was a successful two point try. So he was all
- 30:10Speaker 3: over both of them. One went their way, one went
- 30:13Speaker 3: our way. So look, crazy things happen. You hate when
- 30:17Speaker 3: crazy things happen at a time in the game that
- 30:20Speaker 3: they can't be overcome. That's when you really yeah, that's
- 30:24Speaker 3: when you can really say that cost us the game.
- 30:27Speaker 3: You got six and a half minutes left to go
- 30:29Speaker 3: and an overtime to win the game. I don't want
- 30:31Speaker 3: to hear about some weird two point conversion cost you
- 30:34Speaker 3: the game because it didn't.
- 30:36Speaker 5: Yeah, well, yeah there. I mean, there's no one play.
- 30:39Speaker 5: I mean, I don't even care if it's the last
- 30:41Speaker 5: play of the game. If it's a horrible call, the
- 30:43Speaker 5: guy tackles your guy and it's obvious PI, We've seen
- 30:46Speaker 5: that in a Super Bowl before and they don't call it,
- 30:49Speaker 5: and you're like, that just changed the entire game, That
- 30:52Speaker 5: changed the outcome of the season. But for the most part,
- 30:54Speaker 5: if there's still is time left on the clock, usually
- 30:57Speaker 5: it's not one play that costs you.
- 30:59Speaker 6: There was other things. The sliding doors are sliding in
- 31:01Speaker 6: all game long.
- 31:02Speaker 5: Yeah, whether you convert on the third fourth down of
- 31:05Speaker 5: the first series the first time that you had first
- 31:08Speaker 5: possession you have, or whether you get stopped, or whether
- 31:11Speaker 5: you miss a field goal, all of those things, it's
- 31:13Speaker 5: all the sliding glass doors. So to me, I don't
- 31:15Speaker 5: really ever put it on one play, but there was
- 31:18Speaker 5: a lot of plays that were just like, oh my gosh.
- 31:20Speaker 5: But that's what creates the intensity about the game. The
- 31:24Speaker 5: entire time. That whole fourth quarter was full of great
- 31:26Speaker 5: plays and then things that happened that you're like, what,
- 31:30Speaker 5: And it all led to a tide ball game going
- 31:33Speaker 5: into overtime and then the two point conversion to win it.
- 31:35Speaker 7: It was like all the perfect spices going in to
- 31:37Speaker 7: make the best soup you've ever had.
- 31:39Speaker 3: Yeah, one of those soups where you're like, do I
- 31:41Speaker 3: like this or not? I don't know. I think I
- 31:43Speaker 3: really do.
- 31:44Speaker 7: Like you think this might be the best sloop I've
- 31:46Speaker 7: ever had.
- 31:46Speaker 3: All Right, we'll hear from Ernest Jones next, because there's
- 31:49Speaker 3: another angle here we got to discuss before Greg Bell
- 31:52Speaker 3: joins it at seven Sports Radio ninety three point three kJ.
- 31:55Speaker 1: R f M.
- 32:00Speaker 4: It's crazy when they were up. I guess they thought
- 32:02Speaker 4: it was over thirty to was it thirty fourteen at
- 32:05Speaker 4: one time?
- 32:06Speaker 3: Yeah, they thought that it was over.
- 32:07Speaker 2: It.
- 32:09Speaker 4: It's disrespectful as a defense. That's disrespectful, dispectful to the
- 32:13Speaker 4: game because, I mean, it's too much time left on
- 32:15Speaker 4: the clock for you to be thinking it's over. I
- 32:18Speaker 4: won't put no names on it, but they know, they know,
- 32:22Speaker 4: and we won.
- 32:22Speaker 6: So.
- 32:25Speaker 4: Yeah, I'm yeah. They were saying stuff. Yeah, they were
- 32:29Speaker 4: saying stuff. I won't repeat what they were saying because
- 32:31Speaker 4: it's not really good.
- 32:33Speaker 3: But they were talking. Ernest Jones after the game talking
- 32:38Speaker 3: about how the Rams were talking smack like the game
- 32:40Speaker 3: was over when they were up sixteen, and from apparently
- 32:44Speaker 3: the trainer's room, Nick em and Warr tweeted out, Yep, yep,
- 32:47Speaker 3: they did that. They were doing that the entire second half.
- 32:51Speaker 3: I don't know what it is about professional athletes. I
- 32:53Speaker 3: would think that there is enough at stake in that
- 32:55Speaker 3: game last night, and being down sixteen points would be motivation.
- 33:01Speaker 3: But Michael Jordan and Tom Brady were the kings of
- 33:04Speaker 3: taking advantage of any kind of extra motivation that they
- 33:08Speaker 3: could get. And I guess you shouldn't talk crap about
- 33:13Speaker 3: being up sixteen against a pretty good defense in the
- 33:16Speaker 3: fourth quarter, because apparently from that point forward, the Seahawks
- 33:20Speaker 3: really dug in. Yeah.
- 33:23Speaker 5: Yeah, I mean I don't know what it takes. I
- 33:25Speaker 5: mean you should. I mean to some degree, they're talking trash.
- 33:29Speaker 5: Usually you just let your play do the talking. At
- 33:31Speaker 5: least that's the way it used to be. Is you
- 33:33Speaker 5: go out there and say, yeah, we're we put thirty
- 33:35Speaker 5: on you so far and we still have nine minutes
- 33:38Speaker 5: to go. That's where that's that's the trash talk that's
- 33:41Speaker 5: supposed to happen. Now you're laughing in the face of
- 33:45Speaker 5: Ernest Jones or any of these guys. And we did
- 33:47Speaker 5: see it get chippy. I mean's a rivalry games, so
- 33:49Speaker 5: the guys are going to talk. But yeah, they just
- 33:50Speaker 5: talk more now. Yeah, And I don't understand how you
- 33:54Speaker 5: don't how you don't see it happen to somebody and
- 33:57Speaker 5: come back and bite them in the ass and you
- 33:59Speaker 5: don't learn from it because you see it every year
- 34:01Speaker 5: across all sports. Some picture will say something and then
- 34:04Speaker 5: the dude takes them deep the next one, or vice versa.
- 34:07Speaker 5: In football, you hear somebody chirping about something and then
- 34:10Speaker 5: they come back and beat you, and you're like, don't
- 34:12Speaker 5: you feel even dumber? Now, Yeah, didn't make the loss. Well,
- 34:16Speaker 5: it's not like it didn't happen all the way around.
- 34:17Speaker 5: I mean, there's idiots in just about every city and
- 34:20Speaker 5: every team. It's just I think usually coaches will kind
- 34:23Speaker 5: of nip that thing in the bud. But I don't
- 34:25Speaker 5: know if you can nowadays.
- 34:26Speaker 3: And I think it was impactful, I really because it
- 34:29Speaker 3: happened at that time. As I mentioned earlier where Kirk
- 34:31Speaker 3: Herbstreet mentioned, man, the intensity has ratcheted up on the
- 34:34Speaker 3: Seahawks defense, and I wrote that down in my notes
- 34:37Speaker 3: at the exact same time that he was saying it.
- 34:40Speaker 3: And yes, I know Stafford threw for four hundred and
- 34:42Speaker 3: fifty seven yards and Pooka Nakool was unstoppable last night,
- 34:45Speaker 3: and they put thirty seven points on a Mike McDonald defense.
- 34:48Speaker 3: But do not underestimate what Seattle's defense did to come
- 34:52Speaker 3: back in that game. Yes, Sam Donald made some big plays,
- 34:56Speaker 3: and we got some two point tries and caught a
- 34:58Speaker 3: couple of breaks, but they had three straight three and
- 35:01Speaker 3: outs in that fourth quarter, three straight three and outs
- 35:04Speaker 3: which got you to the point where you could all
- 35:07Speaker 3: those pieces needed to fall in place in order for
- 35:10Speaker 3: you to tie it. And then when it in overtime,
- 35:13Speaker 3: and so I guess the Rams trash talking bit them
- 35:16Speaker 3: in the ass.
- 35:16Speaker 7: Yes, thank you for it.
- 35:18Speaker 3: Thank you.
- 35:19Speaker 7: I mean, well, I think it's always funny, and yeah,
- 35:22Speaker 7: it's annoying when it's your team, but it always makes
- 35:23Speaker 7: me laugh when people trash talk because it's like, yeah,
- 35:26Speaker 7: eventually we'll come back to bite you in the butt,
- 35:28Speaker 7: but they're gonna keep doing it, and it makes it entertaining.
- 35:30Speaker 3: And you know, that was not just wildly entertaining.
- 35:35Speaker 5: I don't need the trash talk, the added nonsense of
- 35:38Speaker 5: immaturity by that game make it entertaining.
- 35:40Speaker 3: But that game was unrated. It was just unbelievable. I
- 35:44Speaker 3: mean it was just one of those I'm like, I
- 35:45Speaker 3: don't even believe what I'm watching. It was a four
- 35:48Speaker 3: hour game, for goodness sake, and it just every single
- 35:52Speaker 3: moment I was, you know, I was locked in on it.
- 35:55Speaker 7: He'd punt return, I was like, that was that real?
- 35:58Speaker 7: What just happened? Because even that, like Al Michaels and
- 36:01Speaker 7: Kirk Hurvestreet are talking about the Rams winning the Super Bowl,
- 36:04Speaker 7: all this stuff, and then he's like, hold on, I
- 36:06Speaker 7: should probably talk about what's going on in the field,
- 36:08Speaker 7: and I was.
- 36:08Speaker 3: Like, I mean, they admitted it, They confessed that. They
- 36:12Speaker 3: legitimately turned to their page of notes talking about the
- 36:15Speaker 3: future of the Rams. Yeah, and they were talking about
- 36:18Speaker 3: the playoff picture for the Rams. And next thing you know,
- 36:21Speaker 3: you're right, you're expecting a flag, Like, why doesn't look
- 36:24Speaker 3: like anybody was trying to stop him? Was there a
- 36:27Speaker 3: flag that was there? A whistle where it was like
- 36:29Speaker 3: something happened, And then all of a sudden, you're like, hey,
- 36:30Speaker 3: we convert this two point conversion and it's a one
- 36:33Speaker 3: score game, and there was a f ton of time
- 36:36Speaker 3: left on this clock. I mean, even after we tied
- 36:39Speaker 3: it up at thirty, there was still six and a
- 36:41Speaker 3: half minutes of play left and the fourth quarter.
- 36:44Speaker 7: For goodness sake, he turned it around in like three
- 36:46Speaker 7: ten minutes and fifty seconds.
- 36:47Speaker 3: So it's not like hurt Locker. It's not like you
- 36:50Speaker 3: clip the red wire just in time to save the day.
- 36:53Speaker 3: I mean, there were opportunities to win in regulation that
- 36:56Speaker 3: the Seahawks didn't quite take advantage of. But in the end,
- 37:01Speaker 3: it's a thirty eight to thirty seven win. We're in
- 37:03Speaker 3: the driver's seat now, so eat that rams. Nice trash
- 37:06Speaker 3: talk all right. Headlines next Greg Bell as Well Sports
