Mac & Bone Hour 2: Panthers/Bears Matchups · Mac & Bone Podcast

• 0:13
  Speaker 1: No one's really on board that the bears are going
• 0:15
  Speaker 1: to be absolute dominant. I mean, they had last season,
• 0:19
  Speaker 1: but like you said, all of them, it was a
• 0:21
  Speaker 1: magical season, like magical seasons don't happen two years in
• 0:25
  Speaker 1: a row like that.
• 0:26
  Speaker 2: Okay.
• 0:27
  Speaker 1: But the only way the bears would be able to
• 0:30
  Speaker 1: make it is that they take away that magic and
• 0:32
  Speaker 1: they show that they don't need that magic.
• 0:34
  Speaker 3: They stepped it up.
• 0:35
  Speaker 1: Say Caleb Williams became a better quarterback. You know, they
• 0:38
  Speaker 1: became a better team and they don't need that magic to,
• 0:41
  Speaker 1: you know, pull out of a hat. to pull a
• 0:43
  Speaker 1: rabbit out of the hat in the fourth quarter to
• 0:45
  Speaker 1: win the games. They can show that they're dominant and
• 0:47
  Speaker 1: consistent throughout the whole entire game, the whole entire four quarters.
• 0:52
  Speaker 1: That was the problem with them last year, their inconsistency,
• 0:55
  Speaker 1: but then pulling out magic in the last couple minutes.
• 0:59
  Speaker 1: That's not going to happen again. They've got to show
• 1:01
  Speaker 1: that they can play all four quarters every single game.
• 1:04
  Speaker 3: That was Rob Gronkowski.
• 1:07
  Speaker 4: Gronk on with Kay Adams. The look on Kay Adams' face,
• 1:11
  Speaker 4: because she is a Bears fan, right, Boney?
• 1:12
  Speaker 2: Yes.
• 1:13
  Speaker 4: The look on her face while Rob is telling her.
• 1:16
  Speaker 4: And by the way, this theory is, there are many
• 1:19
  Speaker 4: people that believe this theory. We've talked about it. Was
• 1:22
  Speaker 4: there a season that was based on turnovers, comebacks? late wins?
• 1:27
  Speaker 4: Is it something that they're going to have a hard
• 1:28
  Speaker 4: time duplicating? Their schedule, Bone, was way easier last year
• 1:32
  Speaker 4: than it is this year. A lot of people have
• 1:36
  Speaker 4: that belief, and that's one of the reasons why, Bone.
• 1:40
  Speaker 4: I'm not saying they're not a good team. But I
• 1:42
  Speaker 4: think they're definitely gettable on Sunday at the bank.
• 1:46
  Speaker 3: I'm not. I made my pick. We're not making our
• 1:48
  Speaker 3: picks to the nine o'clock hour. But this game is gettable.
• 1:52
  Speaker 4: Don't believe all the negative Nancy's that are acting like
• 1:56
  Speaker 4: we're going to get LSU'd and we're Clemson.
• 1:59
  Speaker 5: I believe that stuff. They're not a balanced football operation.
• 2:02
  Speaker 5: Their defense will allow the games to end up being
• 2:05
  Speaker 5: what we're talking about. Matt, there's a reason why they
• 2:08
  Speaker 5: had a lot of magical victories last year. It's because
• 2:11
  Speaker 5: the defense is not great and the offense usually has
• 2:13
  Speaker 5: to do something at the end to bail them out.
• 2:16
  Speaker 5: So I don't doubt that they're much better than they were.
• 2:19
  Speaker 5: Their offense is good. Ben Johnson's good. But I don't
• 2:21
  Speaker 5: have a fear of the entire operation because I don't
• 2:24
  Speaker 5: think their defense is championship caliber. That's something... that they
• 2:28
  Speaker 5: have to work on. You mentioned the look back on
• 2:30
  Speaker 5: Kay Adams' face while Gronk was talking. In fairness to
• 2:33
  Speaker 5: the great Kay Adams, when Gronk is talking, we all
• 2:35
  Speaker 5: have that look on our face.
• 2:36
  Speaker 4: I feel like the look on your face is one
• 2:39
  Speaker 4: of confusion.
• 2:39
  Speaker 3: What's he talking about? For her, it was like, oh, no, no.
• 2:43
  Speaker 3: He doesn't believe in my Bears. But I get it.
• 2:46
  Speaker 3: I get it. All right. We have arrived.
• 2:48
  Speaker 4: If you were just joining us, we have arrived at
• 2:50
  Speaker 4: the first real Panther Football Friday of the season. These
• 2:54
  Speaker 4: ain't fake Panther Fridays anymore.
• 2:56
  Speaker 3: They aren't.
• 2:56
  Speaker 4: Hey, Bone, what third stringer will you want to watch
• 2:59
  Speaker 4: tonight in this preseason game?
• 3:01
  Speaker 3: Hey, Bone, what do you think of Albert Reese? That's
• 3:02
  Speaker 3: out of here now, all right?
• 3:03
  Speaker 4: No offense to him. This is real football, no doubt
• 3:10
  Speaker 4: about it. And we got to talk about it here
• 3:13
  Speaker 4: today on the Mac and Bone Show. We have to
• 3:15
  Speaker 4: talk about this matchup every Friday. We have this conversation.
• 3:19
  Speaker 4: about the Panthers game coming up. Honest, we want you're
• 3:23
  Speaker 4: in a safe space. We want honestly, what aspects of
• 3:26
  Speaker 4: the game, what matchups in this game do you look
• 3:29
  Speaker 4: at and say we can do damage there? I think
• 3:32
  Speaker 4: a lot of them are going to involve the Panthers
• 3:33
  Speaker 4: being on offense. And then I think the other question
• 3:36
  Speaker 4: is like safe space. What worries us? about the bears
• 3:41
  Speaker 4: in this game. So let's talk through this one.
• 3:44
  Speaker 3: All right.
• 3:44
  Speaker 4: And let's get ourselves ready for this game. What is
• 3:47
  Speaker 4: the number one matchup you feel good about though? Let's
• 3:50
  Speaker 4: start on a positive tip.
• 3:52
  Speaker 5: I think if I liked our ability to run the
• 3:54
  Speaker 5: football against the bears, obviously Jonathan Brooks, not being in there,
• 3:59
  Speaker 5: potentially running, would be a problem, but even with Chuba,
• 4:02
  Speaker 5: it's not ideal without Brooks, if that's the case. But
• 4:05
  Speaker 5: I do like the fact that the guards are healthy
• 4:07
  Speaker 5: for us, that the strength of the team, I think,
• 4:10
  Speaker 5: in terms of the offensive line, should be running the football.
• 4:13
  Speaker 5: I think against this defense, I like the Panthers' ability
• 4:16
  Speaker 5: to run the football, and it's going to be highly
• 4:19
  Speaker 5: important here because we said it the other day, the Bears'
• 4:22
  Speaker 5: defense is not good, but you also, week one, when
• 4:25
  Speaker 5: it's hot out there, You want to wear them down.
• 4:28
  Speaker 5: It's great if they score quickly, but sustained drives this
• 4:32
  Speaker 5: time of the year where you can wear down the Bears'
• 4:35
  Speaker 5: defense by running the ball would also be a huge
• 4:38
  Speaker 5: element to this football game.
• 4:39
  Speaker 4: Bears were 29th in the league last year in yards
• 4:41
  Speaker 4: per carry against. They gave up almost five yards a carry,
• 4:44
  Speaker 4: 4.9 yards a carry. So I'm with you. This feels like,
• 4:48
  Speaker 4: if you're going to win, this feels like an opportunity
• 4:51
  Speaker 4: to pound it a bit. I would like to go
• 4:53
  Speaker 4: to the passing game, though, myself. I'd like to talk
• 4:55
  Speaker 4: about T-Mac and Coker against this secondary. I know they
• 4:58
  Speaker 4: got Jalen Johnson healthy. Again, he wasn't healthy a lot
• 5:01
  Speaker 4: last year. But you've got to put more than one
• 5:04
  Speaker 4: corner out there.
• 5:05
  Speaker 3: They're nickelback.
• 5:06
  Speaker 4: Kyler Gordon is not playing in this game. They're big
• 5:09
  Speaker 4: money safety. Kobe Bryant is not playing. Both safeties from
• 5:12
  Speaker 4: last year, including Kevin Bayard, who had seven interceptions.
• 5:17
  Speaker 3: His partner in the back line, who had five.
• 5:19
  Speaker 4: They lost 12 interceptions off this team bone that had
• 5:21
  Speaker 4: all those picks last year.
• 5:22
  Speaker 5: And it's Steneman's first game as a safety in the league.
• 5:25
  Speaker 5: So they have potential to be a pretty good secondary
• 5:27
  Speaker 5: down the line if they get healthy. But it's not
• 5:30
  Speaker 5: here in week one. The Panthers are getting them at
• 5:32
  Speaker 5: the right time. This is a good week to get them.
• 5:33
  Speaker 4: And I just think T-Mac and Coker, especially in the slot,
• 5:37
  Speaker 4: they may be playing a fourth-round rookie. And again, the
• 5:39
  Speaker 4: kid's a talent, Malik Muhammad out of Texas. But he
• 5:41
  Speaker 4: may be starting as a fourth-round rookie in his first
• 5:44
  Speaker 4: game at Nickelback. And who do we want to put
• 5:47
  Speaker 4: in the slot this year? Coker and T-Mac. So I
• 5:50
  Speaker 4: just think Bryce throwing to those guys. Now, you have
• 5:52
  Speaker 4: to have time to throw, right? But Bryce throwing to
• 5:55
  Speaker 4: those guys, Bone, I think is going to work, man.
• 5:58
  Speaker 3: I really do. I agree. Now, what worries us in
• 6:01
  Speaker 3: this matchup, Mackers?
• 6:03
  Speaker 5: Now, this is more of a historical concern, not necessarily
• 6:08
  Speaker 5: because Devin Boyd is there now, Bobby Okereke is there now,
• 6:12
  Speaker 5: but I've said it all week and I'll continue to
• 6:13
  Speaker 5: say it today. I don't have immense fear of Devin.
• 6:18
  Speaker 5: the young wide outs for the bears. To me, it's
• 6:21
  Speaker 5: Loveland at tight end is the guy that is really
• 6:24
  Speaker 5: going to make that passing game go early in the season.
• 6:27
  Speaker 5: We have guys that can cover that, but still I'm
• 6:30
  Speaker 5: not going in loving the fact that we have to
• 6:33
  Speaker 5: play a guy that's got that much potential at tight end.
• 6:35
  Speaker 3: Yeah, he's a hell of a player, man. There's no
• 6:38
  Speaker 3: doubt about it.
• 6:38
  Speaker 4: And by the way... Horn and Mike Jack can handle
• 6:40
  Speaker 4: the wideouts. Yeah, again, I'm not acting like they're going
• 6:43
  Speaker 4: to shut him down. They're going to have zero catches.
• 6:45
  Speaker 4: But I personally, what do we have? A texter was
• 6:47
  Speaker 4: a mitt, right, yesterday. Of course, a mitt was on
• 6:50
  Speaker 4: there being negative. But he said yesterday something to the
• 6:54
  Speaker 4: effect of each of those wide receivers will have 100
• 6:56
  Speaker 4: yards against us. I personally don't think either one will.
• 7:00
  Speaker 4: I don't think their offense is set up, Bone, to
• 7:02
  Speaker 4: be a one-person offense. I think they are a spread-it-around offense.
• 7:06
  Speaker 4: Last year I said it. Loveland was their leading receiver
• 7:09
  Speaker 4: with 713 yards, Bone, but they had three receivers that
• 7:12
  Speaker 4: went over 600 yards. So I feel pretty good about
• 7:15
  Speaker 4: those matchups. I just don't think those guys are going
• 7:17
  Speaker 4: to destroy us. I will say this. I feel way
• 7:21
  Speaker 4: better about this defense against Loveland than I would have
• 7:24
  Speaker 4: last year.
• 7:26
  Speaker 5: Yeah, those guys weren't in there. Even a couple weeks ago,
• 7:30
  Speaker 5: if it was just Devin Lloyd, I'd say, oh, I mean,
• 7:33
  Speaker 5: he can do it, but he needs some more help
• 7:34
  Speaker 5: at linebacker. Now that Bobby O's in there, that certainly
• 7:37
  Speaker 5: makes me feel better about it. But it's still a
• 7:39
  Speaker 5: concern in my mind, though.
• 7:41
  Speaker 4: I think there is a good chance, Bone— that maybe
• 7:46
  Speaker 4: we're not talking about the tight ends destroying us. The
• 7:50
  Speaker 4: run game, I think you've got to respect their run game.
• 7:54
  Speaker 4: I actually think for all the, and Averro said something
• 7:57
  Speaker 4: very similar yesterday, for all the hype about their big plays,
• 8:01
  Speaker 4: and by the way, they are, I think they were
• 8:03
  Speaker 4: 10th in explosive play percentage last year, but for all
• 8:05
  Speaker 4: the hype, Bone, about their big play offense and the
• 8:08
  Speaker 4: gadget plays Averro said yesterday, they want to pound the
• 8:12
  Speaker 4: football at you. That is a two-headed monster running back
• 8:15
  Speaker 4: that went for 1,800-plus yards last year, Bone, and 14
• 8:19
  Speaker 4: freaking tutties. That guy, Menungai, is an absolute animal and
• 8:23
  Speaker 4: a bear to tackle. Oh, I wasn't trying to do that. Literally.
• 8:29
  Speaker 4: No pun intended. So, like, let's give some respect to
• 8:32
  Speaker 4: their damn run game, man. And Caleb Williams scrambling. Caleb Williams'
• 8:36
  Speaker 4: scrambling presents a problem. Do you spy him? And if
• 8:40
  Speaker 4: you spy him, you're giving somebody up in coverage where?
• 8:44
  Speaker 3: In the middle of the field.
• 8:44
  Speaker 4: And that's where the tight ends come into play. And
• 8:45
  Speaker 4: the middle of the field is where the tight ends
• 8:47
  Speaker 4: do work. And the middle of the field is where
• 8:48
  Speaker 4: Caleb Williams' bone had a 110 rating. with 17 touchdowns
• 8:53
  Speaker 4: and three picks last year. So that kind of dynamic of,
• 8:57
  Speaker 4: do we spy? Does Caleb Williams hurt us in the
• 8:59
  Speaker 4: middle of the field? You know, that sort of thing.
• 9:01
  Speaker 5: And Loveland and Luther Burden, I was reading yesterday about
• 9:04
  Speaker 5: how great they were against zone defenses last year. They
• 9:07
  Speaker 5: feasted off zones because it's part of what you're saying.
• 9:10
  Speaker 5: In the zone, they find spots to sit down, and
• 9:13
  Speaker 5: Williams ends up finding guys like that. So that is
• 9:15
  Speaker 5: a potential problem as well. I've got a stat for you.
• 9:19
  Speaker 5: You've got a stat? It's like a famous tweeter, Matt.
• 9:22
  Speaker 5: I was crunching the numbers. There's a stat for everything.
• 9:23
  Speaker 5: I was crunching the numbers, baby. I was crunching the numbers.
• 9:27
  Speaker 5: Colston Loveland, fourth versus zone per PFF last season.
• 9:31
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 9:32
  Speaker 4: He also gets downfield. Second most deep catches among tight
• 9:35
  Speaker 4: ends last year. So he's definitely, I was going to say,
• 9:38
  Speaker 4: a bear to handle again. That saying sounds stupid this
• 9:41
  Speaker 4: week because they're all bears to handle.
• 9:45
  Speaker 2: Oh, God.
• 9:46
  Speaker 4: And I also didn't realize, how many times do I
• 9:48
  Speaker 4: say that? I'm going to say that all the time.
• 9:50
  Speaker 4: Would you say, Mac, doing this segment's been a burden?
• 9:55
  Speaker 3: Oh, my goodness.
• 9:56
  Speaker 4: What do y'all think, man? What matchups you feel good about?
• 9:58
  Speaker 4: What matchups do you worry about? Are we too overconfident
• 10:03
  Speaker 4: about certain things in this matchup? Let us have it, baby.
• 10:08
  Speaker 4: 704-570-9610 if you want to jump in here on the show.
• 10:13
  Speaker 4: Fit Daddy, what are you feeling good or bad about?
• 10:16
  Speaker 4: What do you want to mention here?
• 10:18
  Speaker 6: You talk so much about this, Mac, in a game
• 10:20
  Speaker 6: where I feel like both teams are going to be
• 10:23
  Speaker 6: able to move the ball. What does the Panther defense
• 10:27
  Speaker 6: do in the red zone when they become three-point plays
• 10:31
  Speaker 6: or four-point plays? Can we allow them to get into
• 10:37
  Speaker 6: the red zone but hold them to three as opposed
• 10:39
  Speaker 6: to giving up seven?
• 10:42
  Speaker 4: You read my mind. I was going to say that today.
• 10:44
  Speaker 4: I said it with Colin the other day. They're going
• 10:46
  Speaker 4: to move the ball on us. They're too good on
• 10:48
  Speaker 4: offense to not move the ball on us some.
• 10:51
  Speaker 6: And part of Romero's defense is they want to give
• 10:53
  Speaker 6: up some yardage.
• 10:54
  Speaker 3: They don't want to give up the big plays.
• 10:56
  Speaker 6: Yeah, they're going to keep everything in front of them.
• 10:57
  Speaker 6: So you go back to the Bills game. Remember, they
• 10:59
  Speaker 6: were able to walk right down the field. Jalen Phillips
• 11:02
  Speaker 6: steps up and makes a big play. Can you allow
• 11:04
  Speaker 6: them to get some yards but make them settle for
• 11:07
  Speaker 6: three as opposed to getting touchdowns?
• 11:09
  Speaker 3: And you know what?
• 11:10
  Speaker 6: At some point, if they have to keep getting the
• 11:12
  Speaker 6: fourth downs, Johnson will go for it because he's aggressive.
• 11:16
  Speaker 6: You could get a situation where maybe you allow them
• 11:18
  Speaker 6: to move the ball, but you give up zero.
• 11:21
  Speaker 4: Those things are huge. On the flip side of that, obviously,
• 11:24
  Speaker 4: we can't kick field goals against the Bears. You have
• 11:28
  Speaker 4: to finish in the red zone, Bone. The Bears' defense
• 11:30
  Speaker 4: was not particularly good in the red zone. But then again,
• 11:33
  Speaker 4: the Bears' defense was particularly good at one thing, forcing turnovers.
• 11:38
  Speaker 4: I can't deny, Bone, you talk about things you're worried about.
• 11:42
  Speaker 4: I think over the course of the season, I think
• 11:45
  Speaker 4: the Bears will regress to the mean when it comes
• 11:47
  Speaker 4: to turnovers. Like the trends show that that usually doesn't
• 11:50
  Speaker 4: carry over from one year to the next. But I'm
• 11:53
  Speaker 4: not going to lie to you. We have committed nine
• 11:55
  Speaker 4: turnovers in our last three openers combined. And the Bears
• 12:00
  Speaker 4: forced so many turnovers last year. I am definitely worried that,
• 12:04
  Speaker 4: you know, please don't go out there and do your
• 12:06
  Speaker 4: season opener, hand out the football crap.
• 12:09
  Speaker 5: Mag, would you like to hear the national major consensus
• 12:12
  Speaker 5: on this game so far right now?
• 12:13
  Speaker 3: I've just looked it up here. The Bears, the Bears,
• 12:15
  Speaker 3: the Bears, the Bears, the Bears.
• 12:17
  Speaker 5: All of CBS Sports and their website has picked the
• 12:20
  Speaker 5: Bears to win. All of the Bleacher Report has picked
• 12:23
  Speaker 5: the Bears to win. All of ESPN's people have picked
• 12:26
  Speaker 5: the Bears to win. But I give you, Mac, a
• 12:28
  Speaker 5: man named Tom Vera of USA Today, who's got the
• 12:33
  Speaker 5: Panthers covering the spread, baby.
• 12:34
  Speaker 3: Tommy! I give you... Tommy!
• 12:37
  Speaker 5: Vic Taffer, did I say his name from The Athletic?
• 12:40
  Speaker 5: He has picked the Panthers to cover the spread.
• 12:43
  Speaker 3: There you go.
• 12:43
  Speaker 7: There you go.
• 12:44
  Speaker 5: And I also give you, Mac, the big name of
• 12:46
  Speaker 5: this group, Ian McMillan of Sports Illustrated. He's the one
• 12:52
  Speaker 5: guy that said, give me the Panthers to win this
• 12:54
  Speaker 5: football game.
• 12:55
  Speaker 3: I love it. So the other guy said cover to spread.
• 12:58
  Speaker 5: Yeah.
• 12:58
  Speaker 3: And that dude right there. I got one guy. I
• 13:00
  Speaker 3: got one guy. Ian, I-I-A-I-N. Ian McMillan. There we go.
• 13:06
  Speaker 3: I'll give you another one.
• 13:07
  Speaker 4: I was listening to Sam Monson and Steve Palazzolo, their
• 13:09
  Speaker 4: preview for the game. Monson picked the Panthers to win
• 13:13
  Speaker 4: straight up. And Monson brought up a pretty good point,
• 13:16
  Speaker 4: by the way. Palazzolo said we'll cover. Monson brought up
• 13:22
  Speaker 4: the point, it's week one. How many times do we
• 13:24
  Speaker 4: see upsets in week one?
• 13:26
  Speaker 5: A lot.
• 13:26
  Speaker 4: Now, you see not just upsets. You see some crazy ones. Hell,
• 13:29
  Speaker 4: last night, look at what the Niners did to the
• 13:32
  Speaker 4: Rams last night. There's a lot of week one upsets,
• 13:34
  Speaker 4: a lot of results that you're like, whoa, I didn't
• 13:37
  Speaker 4: see that coming. And it's not even that crazy. We're
• 13:39
  Speaker 4: a three-point underdog at the crib. It's not even that
• 13:42
  Speaker 4: freaking crazy of a result. And I love the fact
• 13:45
  Speaker 4: this game's at home, Bone. Look at how we played
• 13:48
  Speaker 4: last year at home. 5-3 at home last year. The Bears,
• 13:52
  Speaker 4: on the other hand, only 5-4 on the road last season.
• 13:55
  Speaker 3: I love that.
• 13:56
  Speaker 4: The crowd's going to be hyped. The crowd's going to
• 13:58
  Speaker 4: pick up where they left off last year. I love
• 14:01
  Speaker 4: this game being at the bank, man. This is going
• 14:03
  Speaker 4: to be a damn spectacle on Sunday.
• 14:05
  Speaker 5: Remember the 2001 Panthers, Matt? Their game they won was
• 14:08
  Speaker 5: in week number one. Remember that year? The last year
• 14:11
  Speaker 5: for George Seifert? Their first game they won.
• 14:13
  Speaker 3: Didn't win again.
• 14:14
  Speaker 4: That's the complete opposite of what we've been doing lately.
• 14:18
  Speaker 4: Somebody says, Mac, you do realize season openers, we don't
• 14:21
  Speaker 4: win them. We are the worst team in the history
• 14:24
  Speaker 4: of the NFL, percentage-wise. One in six since 2018. One
• 14:26
  Speaker 4: in six since 2018.
• 14:27
  Speaker 3: 34%, I think it is. Something like that. 34, 36,
• 14:28
  Speaker 3: something like that.
• 14:33
  Speaker 4: Percent winning percentage historically in week one no one is
• 14:37
  Speaker 4: worse than that so i don't mean to spread the
• 14:39
  Speaker 4: bad juju on a glorious panther friday but we are
• 14:41
  Speaker 4: up against recent history and overall history.
• 14:44
  Speaker 5: The good news is for that though only a few
• 14:46
  Speaker 5: of those could really matter to this game for the
• 14:48
  Speaker 5: guys that are playing so it doesn't matter what they
• 14:50
  Speaker 5: did in 1995 or historically it's about these guys on
• 14:55
  Speaker 5: sunday and who they are now and that it's going
• 14:58
  Speaker 5: to be a football team You'll find out at 9
• 15:00
  Speaker 5: o'clock if they're going to win or not.
• 15:02
  Speaker 3: Do the last two win?
• 15:04
  Speaker 5: Yeah, I walked up to the line, pulled myself back.
• 15:07
  Speaker 3: I wonder which way you're going on this.
• 15:09
  Speaker 4: Does it matter, though, that our coaching staff, Bone, is
• 15:14
  Speaker 4: here and in the last two years they have looked
• 15:16
  Speaker 4: woefully prepared for the season opener? That feels like that
• 15:22
  Speaker 4: could matter.
• 15:23
  Speaker 3: I'm hoping it doesn't.
• 15:24
  Speaker 4: I'm hoping we find a way to buck that trend,
• 15:26
  Speaker 4: but that certainly is applicable.
• 15:29
  Speaker 5: Yeah, people are laughing because I just brought up the
• 15:31
  Speaker 5: 2001 Panthers' only win was in week number one. Then
• 15:33
  Speaker 5: I said those years don't matter.
• 15:35
  Speaker 3: You're right.
• 15:35
  Speaker 5: So don't listen to what I just said. Listen to
• 15:37
  Speaker 5: what Matt just said there. It matters the recent trends
• 15:40
  Speaker 5: and not necessarily over the last 30 years.
• 15:43
  Speaker 4: It's Football Friday, baby. There's going to be some spin
• 15:45
  Speaker 4: on this show. Wait until Finney does his prediction as
• 15:47
  Speaker 4: the Panthers win him by 40. Panther Finney, go really go.
• 15:52
  Speaker 3: Deep, baby. A panter. What's a panter?
• 15:54
  Speaker 5: Finney spinning like a washing machine. I don't know what
• 15:58
  Speaker 5: a panner game is. What's panner even mean? I don't
• 16:00
  Speaker 5: even know what I'm trying to say. I don't know
• 16:01
  Speaker 5: what you're trying to spit out. I'm just making up words.
• 16:03
  Speaker 3: Spout panner!
• 16:04
  Speaker 4: Joe and Raleigh says, if we lose, make it tough,
• 16:07
  Speaker 4: or make it close, make it tough, show some growth.
• 16:09
  Speaker 3: Is that too much to ask? No, you're right.
• 16:11
  Speaker 4: It's like you were talking earlier, Bone, about you were saying, oh,
• 16:15
  Speaker 4: is this a must win? I'm like, bros, if we
• 16:16
  Speaker 4: got 16 more.
• 16:18
  Speaker 3: Mean bro green. It would be. It would be.
• 16:22
  Speaker 4: It would do a lot that you just look competent
• 16:25
  Speaker 4: on offense against a bad defense. Like, if they go
• 16:28
  Speaker 4: out there, Bone, and have three turnovers, Bryce has two interceptions,
• 16:31
  Speaker 4: and he has had two interceptions in every one of
• 16:33
  Speaker 4: the season openers, and we score 10 points against this
• 16:36
  Speaker 4: sorry-ass defense, that's a bad sign. You go out there
• 16:40
  Speaker 4: and lose a game 30-27 or 27-24, all right. Bears
• 16:45
  Speaker 4: have talent. And this is not a concession speech. I'm
• 16:49
  Speaker 4: not rationalizing. I'm just saying there's something to be said
• 16:52
  Speaker 4: for if you go out there and battle toe-to-toe, you know,
• 16:57
  Speaker 4: I think we'd feel better.
• 16:58
  Speaker 5: There is pass there to feel good if they didn't win.
• 17:01
  Speaker 5: There is also the path there where if the offense
• 17:04
  Speaker 5: doesn't show up, I'm going to lose my absolute– Stuff.
• 17:09
  Speaker 3: I was almost... Stuff on Monday's show. I was almost cussing,
• 17:12
  Speaker 3: but I said stuff. Calm yourself down there, Bonesy.
• 17:14
  Speaker 5: On Monday's show, the offense against this defense, and really, Mac,
• 17:18
  Speaker 5: against the first couple defenses, better with the park. There's
• 17:21
  Speaker 5: no excuse against the Bears... and the Falcons and those
• 17:24
  Speaker 5: defenses not to go out there and get off to
• 17:27
  Speaker 5: a much better start.
• 17:27
  Speaker 2: I agree.
• 17:28
  Speaker 3: Zero excuse.
• 17:29
  Speaker 4: Dare I say, Bryce, how about you make these guys
• 17:31
  Speaker 4: look like the Falcons? How about we just tell Bryce
• 17:34
  Speaker 4: you're playing the Falcons two straight weeks? Casey in Mooresville says,
• 17:38
  Speaker 4: Matt Rule had one season where he got off to
• 17:41
  Speaker 4: a fast start, and then he got fired.
• 17:44
  Speaker 8: 7-0-4, 9-8-0. Let's go.
• 17:46
  Speaker 3: 3-0.
• 17:47
  Speaker 4: I'll never forget how hyped we were about the 3-0 start.
• 17:50
  Speaker 6: Terry Bradshaw said they finally had a franchise quarterback in Carolina.
• 17:54
  Speaker 3: Their best quarterback ever. They were 3-0.
• 17:57
  Speaker 5: Terry Fox, our boss, made me go on a week-long
• 18:00
  Speaker 5: vacation because I had taken one in a while. Made
• 18:02
  Speaker 5: me leave at 3-0. It was Cowboys week. They brought
• 18:06
  Speaker 5: in Willie P, and the franchise has been trying to recover.
• 18:09
  Speaker 3: Never been the same. Never been the same.
• 18:10
  Speaker 4: I was going to mention, too, Thomas Davis was on
• 18:13
  Speaker 4: NFL Network the night of one of those Thursday night games.
• 18:16
  Speaker 4: Didn't we have an early Thursday night game against Houston?
• 18:18
  Speaker 2: We did.
• 18:19
  Speaker 4: Davis Mills, I think, was in that game. And he
• 18:21
  Speaker 4: said this team is more talented than our 2015 team.
• 18:26
  Speaker 4: we weren't the only ones td was hyped up about
• 18:30
  Speaker 4: those panthers that year.
• 18:31
  Speaker 5: Even olsen had to be asked about that during everyone
• 18:33
  Speaker 5: was being asked about that during that oh god.
• 18:35
  Speaker 4: Oh god all right so doc doc says t-max gonna
• 18:38
  Speaker 4: hulu dance all over the bears defense the bears bone
• 18:42
  Speaker 4: gave up the seventh most yards to wide receivers last
• 18:45
  Speaker 4: year we so so much is made of the way
• 18:48
  Speaker 4: we defend tight ends last season we were eighth most
• 18:51
  Speaker 4: yards to tight ends They were even worse against wide receivers.
• 18:55
  Speaker 4: TMAC and Coker go off on these fools. We do
• 18:59
  Speaker 4: have a texter who's negative about Monroe Freeling. This dude says,
• 19:03
  Speaker 4: you guys hadn't mentioned at all that Monroe Freeling is
• 19:06
  Speaker 4: going against an elite pass rusher. Montez Sweat is going
• 19:11
  Speaker 4: to make the rookie sweat all day.
• 19:14
  Speaker 3: You just wanted to use that line, sir. It's a
• 19:17
  Speaker 3: good line. I know trying to force a line in,
• 19:19
  Speaker 3: that's one. It's a good line.
• 19:21
  Speaker 4: I would expect him, I think he played 84% of
• 19:23
  Speaker 4: the snaps last year, Bone, over the right tackle. So
• 19:26
  Speaker 4: he is primarily on that side. I would think the
• 19:30
  Speaker 4: Panthers would slide their protection. I would think they would
• 19:32
  Speaker 4: get him a fair amount of help. I think it's
• 19:35
  Speaker 4: a clear strategy. Who do they have on the other side?
• 19:39
  Speaker 4: No one of note. They have no one other than
• 19:41
  Speaker 4: him that had five sacks or more coming back to
• 19:44
  Speaker 4: this team. So to me, you slide your protection, you
• 19:48
  Speaker 4: give Monroe help. Rasheed Walker's a really good pass protector
• 19:52
  Speaker 4: on the other side in his career. And you just say,
• 19:56
  Speaker 4: make the other guys beat us in the pass rush.
• 19:59
  Speaker 4: I think that's how you have to handle it.
• 20:00
  Speaker 5: It can't be any worse or any tougher than what
• 20:02
  Speaker 5: he saw in the joint session in Will Anderson. So
• 20:06
  Speaker 5: there's no one that's going to be as tough as
• 20:07
  Speaker 5: he is for him this year. So he had to
• 20:09
  Speaker 5: go against him. Hopefully that ends up raising his confidence
• 20:13
  Speaker 5: after a while because he.
• 20:14
  Speaker 3: Had to go through that. And he did it with
• 20:15
  Speaker 3: very little help.
• 20:17
  Speaker 4: Like, I'm convinced, Bone, that Dave Canales' idea was, let's
• 20:21
  Speaker 4: see sink or swim. Let's see our tackles against their
• 20:24
  Speaker 4: edge rushers. And let's not give them too much help.
• 20:26
  Speaker 4: Let's not scheme.
• 20:27
  Speaker 3: It's a practice.
• 20:28
  Speaker 4: I think it was like the Titanic. And they will scheme.
• 20:31
  Speaker 4: They will actually scheme, believe it or not, negative Panther fans,
• 20:34
  Speaker 4: and they will get.
• 20:35
  Speaker 3: Monroe Freeling help on Sunday, I believe.
• 20:38
  Speaker 5: When we come back, it's picks time. Lee Sterling, ParamountSports.com
• 20:42
  Speaker 5: gives its weekly selections. Who does he have in the
• 20:45
  Speaker 5: Panthers-Bears game? What's the right side? Sports Radio, 92.7 WFNZ.
• 21:03
  Speaker 8: Oh, man, what a.
• 21:04
  Speaker 3: Beautiful Panther football Friday.
• 21:06
  Speaker 4: You know we're talking college football, too. Can't wait to
• 21:11
  Speaker 4: hear from the ECU fans and the app fans.
• 21:14
  Speaker 3: App has owned this series lately. So, you know, we're
• 21:16
  Speaker 3: going to.
• 21:16
  Speaker 4: Talk about that lady later. And there is some big
• 21:20
  Speaker 4: college football tomorrow bone, especially that one versus four matchup,
• 21:24
  Speaker 4: Ohio state, Texas tomorrow night. That is one of the
• 21:27
  Speaker 4: games that we will talk about. And you know, always
• 21:30
  Speaker 4: Lee Sterling is going to give you his pick on
• 21:32
  Speaker 4: the Panther game of the week. So without further delay,
• 21:36
  Speaker 4: let's do it, man. Our official handicapper, uh, For so
• 21:39
  Speaker 4: many years, Bone, I have lost track. I have lost
• 21:41
  Speaker 4: track of the years. This is year number 19. There
• 21:44
  Speaker 4: you go. That's pretty strong right there.
• 21:47
  Speaker 3: Our segment with Lee is now in college.
• 21:50
  Speaker 4: Two years away from drinking this segment. But anyway, Lee Sterling,
• 21:55
  Speaker 4: Paramount Sports. That's where you find his pics. ParamountSports.com. The
• 21:59
  Speaker 4: great Lee Sterling here. to break down games this weekend
• 22:03
  Speaker 4: for you. Lee, how are you feeling this Friday night, man?
• 22:06
  Speaker 4: Your Canes couldn't have taken it a little easier last
• 22:09
  Speaker 4: night on old FAMU?
• 22:11
  Speaker 2: Well, the FAMU, if they had probably dressed out some
• 22:13
  Speaker 2: of their band members, it would have been game.
• 22:16
  Speaker 3: That is a hell of a band.
• 22:19
  Speaker 2: They've got to start doing away with these games. I mean,
• 22:21
  Speaker 2: it's just too one-sided. And I think they eventually got
• 22:26
  Speaker 2: to say, you know, the FCS team's, They can play
• 22:30
  Speaker 2: other FCS teams, but you've got to play at least
• 22:33
  Speaker 2: a Division I school.
• 22:34
  Speaker 4: I know FAMU gets a check and everything out of it,
• 22:39
  Speaker 4: but it was hard to watch. It was such a beatdown.
• 22:43
  Speaker 4: It was tough to watch. We've got much better matchups
• 22:46
  Speaker 4: on the slate this week, Lee. Plenty of them. And
• 22:49
  Speaker 4: I mentioned that they're at the top. Can't wait to
• 22:52
  Speaker 4: watch Texas and Ohio State, the rematch of last year's game.
• 22:56
  Speaker 4: This one is in Texas, though, and the Longhorns are
• 23:00
  Speaker 4: a one-and-a-half point favorite.
• 23:02
  Speaker 3: What are you thinking about this?
• 23:04
  Speaker 2: So I think the game means a lot more to Texas.
• 23:06
  Speaker 2: If they lose this game, and let's say they lose
• 23:09
  Speaker 2: another game, they could be sitting on the outside looking in.
• 23:13
  Speaker 2: Ohio State, they lose two games. They lose this game close,
• 23:15
  Speaker 2: lose another game. I think they're in, no question about it.
• 23:19
  Speaker 2: So I went back and watched the tape from last year,
• 23:23
  Speaker 2: and it was painful to watch from Texas' perspective. They dominated.
• 23:28
  Speaker 2: They ran between the 20s up and down the field.
• 23:31
  Speaker 2: They had a 336 to 203-yard advantage. But in the
• 23:36
  Speaker 2: red zone, specifically inside the 10, the play calling by
• 23:39
  Speaker 2: Steve Sarkeesian was horrendous. The execution was deplorable. But what
• 23:45
  Speaker 2: did they do? They said, okay, we're going to fix that.
• 23:48
  Speaker 2: They had Auburn's stud-wide receiver, Cam Coleman, maybe the third-best
• 23:52
  Speaker 2: receiver in the country, behind, like I said, Mr. Jeremiah
• 23:56
  Speaker 2: Smith and Tony from Miami, and they added Hollywood Smothers. And, boy,
• 24:01
  Speaker 2: does he look good. I mean, he catches the ball
• 24:04
  Speaker 2: out of the backfield or runs the ball. He'll almost
• 24:06
  Speaker 2: always make that first guy miss. So that will help
• 24:10
  Speaker 2: them out here. And now guys like Ryan Wingo, who
• 24:12
  Speaker 2: is their number-one receiver– They can be matched up in
• 24:16
  Speaker 2: the red zone against the slot cover corner or the
• 24:18
  Speaker 2: number three guy. So I think they actually own the
• 24:21
  Speaker 2: advantage there. And I think Miami exposed Ohio State in
• 24:25
  Speaker 2: the trenches in that quarterfinal game last year. And I
• 24:28
  Speaker 2: think Texas is every bit as good as Miami here.
• 24:32
  Speaker 2: Texas finally wins. A big game here. Longhorns, 27-21.
• 24:36
  Speaker 5: We love to hear that on this show. Anytime Ohio
• 24:39
  Speaker 5: State loses, Lee, we're all for it. A game in Champaign,
• 24:43
  Speaker 5: Illinois between the Illini and Duke. Which team, Lee, will
• 24:47
  Speaker 5: be popping the bubbly after this game?
• 24:51
  Speaker 2: So there's some warts here on both sides. Oh, no.
• 24:56
  Speaker 2: The passing debut of Walker for Duke didn't go well.
• 25:01
  Speaker 2: Only 50%. of his passes were completed for all of
• 25:05
  Speaker 2: five yards per attempt. The good news here for Manny
• 25:09
  Speaker 2: Diaz is that it didn't matter. Nate Shepard was a
• 25:13
  Speaker 2: one-man wrecking crew on the ground. And Illinois, when they
• 25:18
  Speaker 2: tried to stop that running game, not so fast. They
• 25:22
  Speaker 2: allowed UAB, not much of a runner, to run for
• 25:25
  Speaker 2: 194 yards. Roy came favored. Luke pulls the upset 24-23
• 25:33
  Speaker 2: in Champagne, and they'll be drinking Champagne after the game.
• 25:36
  Speaker 3: God, I love you.
• 25:37
  Speaker 4: God, I love Lee. Oh, Bone loves that. A wrong
• 25:41
  Speaker 4: team favorite is an eight-and-a-half-point dog.
• 25:43
  Speaker 8: Bone, how about that?
• 25:44
  Speaker 3: Two weeks in a row I've not been romper rooms. Hey, now. Hey,
• 25:49
  Speaker 3: settle down.
• 25:50
  Speaker 4: One of your guys, one of your clients that listens
• 25:53
  Speaker 4: to us, AC, is saying Lee's off to a great
• 25:56
  Speaker 4: start this weekend. Said Seattle and then the under yesterday.
• 26:01
  Speaker 4: So just want everybody to know when Lee tells you
• 26:04
  Speaker 4: how to get a hold of him. he's off to
• 26:06
  Speaker 4: a good start let's get into some NFL games here
• 26:08
  Speaker 4: you also have a game of the week which happens
• 26:10
  Speaker 4: to be Charlotte very intrigued by this of all the
• 26:13
  Speaker 4: games you pick Charlotte Ole Miss as your game of
• 26:16
  Speaker 4: the week so I know you're going to tell everybody
• 26:18
  Speaker 4: how to get a hold of stuff but let's start
• 26:20
  Speaker 4: with the NFL games and we'll build to this Panther
• 26:23
  Speaker 4: Bears pick Cincinnati is a three and a half point
• 26:27
  Speaker 4: favorite at home against Tampa what's what's the play in
• 26:30
  Speaker 4: this one All right.
• 26:32
  Speaker 2: So Cincinnati opening week has been the worst. I mean,
• 26:35
  Speaker 2: if you have your survivor pool, you might as well
• 26:39
  Speaker 2: already be hoping for a second chance pool. But I
• 26:42
  Speaker 2: think they're going to be a little bit better this year.
• 26:44
  Speaker 2: Offensive line looks slightly better. Defense looks better. The question is,
• 26:49
  Speaker 2: are they up to stuff and do you want to
• 26:51
  Speaker 2: lay three and a half points? I'm not so sure.
• 26:54
  Speaker 2: I don't know if the Bucs can win the game here,
• 26:56
  Speaker 2: but Just look at their last five games. Every game
• 26:59
  Speaker 2: was decided by four points or less here. I have
• 27:02
  Speaker 2: some questions about the back end on defense. But Reuben Bain,
• 27:06
  Speaker 2: one-man wrecking crew here. And Baker Mayfield's healthy here. I
• 27:10
  Speaker 2: think the Bengals win this game 28-26. But I'm taking
• 27:15
  Speaker 2: the Bucs here on the points.
• 27:17
  Speaker 3: What a segment for Lee right now. I'm just nodding
• 27:19
  Speaker 3: the whole way through this. This is going well. This
• 27:21
  Speaker 3: is going well.
• 27:24
  Speaker 5: The Bengals there. What about Lions Saints, another team in
• 27:27
  Speaker 5: the NFC South we're rooting against? On the road, Lions
• 27:30
  Speaker 5: favored by seven. What's the play here?
• 27:33
  Speaker 2: All right, so I'm going to go with a different
• 27:35
  Speaker 2: approach to this game. I'm going to take the total,
• 27:37
  Speaker 2: total 50. I think the Lions will hit the ground
• 27:40
  Speaker 2: running just like they did last year. Their offense is
• 27:42
  Speaker 2: almost unstoppable. Problem is their defense, their back end. They're
• 27:45
  Speaker 2: going to be without their two safeties out for this game.
• 27:49
  Speaker 2: Their star cornerback committed a little crime. He was cut.
• 27:53
  Speaker 2: So we're down three out of four guys. I mean,
• 27:55
  Speaker 2: starting guys, you just can't play at this level against
• 27:59
  Speaker 2: the Saints team, which is much improved. You know, they
• 28:01
  Speaker 2: started the season last year with Spencer Rattler. That didn't
• 28:04
  Speaker 2: work out. They found themselves a quarterback. They have a
• 28:08
  Speaker 2: dual head running game now with Etienne added here. You
• 28:13
  Speaker 2: know what? I think I'm going over over 50 total points.
• 28:17
  Speaker 2: I get this game lined at like 61 over 50,
• 28:20
  Speaker 2: the best way to approach it.
• 28:21
  Speaker 3: Okay.
• 28:21
  Speaker 2: All right.
• 28:21
  Speaker 3: I like that.
• 28:22
  Speaker 4: I like that. Let's talk about Bears-Panthers, Lee. We've been
• 28:26
  Speaker 4: talking about it all week. We're going to talk about
• 28:27
  Speaker 4: it all day. It feels like a hell of a matchup,
• 28:31
  Speaker 4: and it would be huge for the Panthers to get
• 28:33
  Speaker 4: this win, but they are underdogs. They have performed bad
• 28:37
  Speaker 4: of late in these season openers. What do you think?
• 28:40
  Speaker 4: Bears minus three is the line.
• 28:43
  Speaker 2: Well, you know, if you listen to Ben Johnson, he's
• 28:45
  Speaker 2: talking about, They're going to set the record for points scored.
• 28:49
  Speaker 2: I don't see it happening. Why? Their star center, all-pro center, said,
• 28:53
  Speaker 2: you know what, I've had enough. 28, 29 years old,
• 28:56
  Speaker 2: doesn't want to play anymore. Huge loss. I also think
• 28:59
  Speaker 2: that DJ Moore, even though he was not the perfect fit,
• 29:03
  Speaker 2: it's going to make it tough for them. I mean,
• 29:05
  Speaker 2: he is good catching the ball and also yaks yards
• 29:10
  Speaker 2: after catch. So I think the secondary is still not great.
• 29:15
  Speaker 2: They had trouble. A lot of teams were crossing their receiver,
• 29:18
  Speaker 2: crossing the field. The safeties had trouble, and they lost
• 29:22
  Speaker 2: one of their star safeties for at least six to
• 29:25
  Speaker 2: eight weeks. So I think that there are some different
• 29:28
  Speaker 2: ways that they can approach this team, this Bears team,
• 29:32
  Speaker 2: and have success. So I think the Bears, now the
• 29:35
  Speaker 2: they're you know everyone wants to go after them they
• 29:38
  Speaker 2: were the surprise team last year caught teams off guard
• 29:41
  Speaker 2: here but i think the offense is good enough and
• 29:43
  Speaker 2: the defense might come up with the turnover here a
• 29:46
  Speaker 2: couple fourth down stops here another team favored give me
• 29:52
  Speaker 2: charlotte Give me here, I think that the Carolina Panthers here,
• 29:55
  Speaker 2: get the job done, 27-24. Oh, yeah.
• 29:57
  Speaker 3:
• 30:01
  Speaker 3: Oh, man. God, Lee, it's great to
• 30:05
  Speaker 3: have you back, baby. Oh, my gosh.
• 30:06
  Speaker 5: I don't recommend smoking cigarettes, but if I could, I
• 30:08
  Speaker 5: would right now.
• 30:11
  Speaker 4: What a segment bone, Duke. And Panthers wrong team favorite
• 30:15
  Speaker 4: for you. I'll take my shirt off here soon. Oh,

  Speaker 5: People are fired up about Lee's picks, and Willie P
• 32:04
  Speaker 5: is going after Kansas.
• 32:05
  Speaker 3: Which wasn't part of the segment. This dude's in his
• 32:07
  Speaker 3: own world. Why is he texting us about that dang game?
• 32:10
  Speaker 3: You know what?
• 32:10
  Speaker 4: I'm going to boycott that game tonight. It's NC State
• 32:13
  Speaker 4: only tonight. It's streaming with the misses. It's Villanova-Louisville.
• 32:18
  Speaker 3: Yeah, Villanova-Louisville gets on a TV screen over UP, man.
• 32:22
  Speaker 8: Norfolk.
• 32:24
  Speaker 3: Taking on Virginia? Are you kidding me? No, folks. Somebody
• 32:28
  Speaker 3: told me how to say that after the show. No, folks.
• 32:30
  Speaker 3: I'm afraid. No, folks.
• 32:32
  Speaker 5: If I try to say that, there's a chance I
• 32:33
  Speaker 5: slip up with eye cuts on the air.
• 32:36
  Speaker 4: Somebody says, did you catch where Lee said Detroit's cornerback
• 32:41
  Speaker 4: got into a little legal trouble? Look up what he did, y'all.
• 32:44
  Speaker 4: I actually looked it up during the break, or during
• 32:47
  Speaker 4: the interview, because I was like, little... A little legal trouble.
• 32:52
  Speaker 4: He is accused, accused, he will get his day in court,
• 32:55
  Speaker 4: of orchestrating a violent kidnapping and.
• 32:58
  Speaker 3: Armed robbery plot, Bone, where.
• 33:00
  Speaker 4: Where it is alleged that men were held at gunpoint,
• 33:05
  Speaker 4: pistol whipped and beaten while a co-defendant live streamed the
• 33:09
  Speaker 4: attack to someone texting the instructions.
• 33:12
  Speaker 3: This was like a movie scene, man. So, yeah.
• 33:15
  Speaker 5: This wasn't a moving violation in a car, right? So
• 33:18
  Speaker 5: he might have fibbed a little bit.
• 33:19
  Speaker 3: Very serious.
• 33:20
  Speaker 4: He might have fibbed a little bit there, Bone, on
• 33:22
  Speaker 4: a little trouble with law. But his point is he
• 33:24
  Speaker 4: will not be in the game. And that is one
• 33:26
  Speaker 4: of the many points he made as to why he
• 33:28
  Speaker 4: likes the over argument. in saints and lions. And I actually,
• 33:31
  Speaker 4: I can see that game being high scoring. You know,
• 33:34
  Speaker 4: I'm kind of with him on that, actually. All right,
• 33:36
  Speaker 4: let's bring in, speaking of high scoring, let's bring him in, baby.
• 33:40
  Speaker 4: This man.
• 33:40
  Speaker 3: The man that one of the texters recently called Slob Costas. Oh,
• 33:45
  Speaker 3: my God. Not me, but a texter.
• 33:46
  Speaker 5: I thought we weren't slandering Fiddy today. I'm saying, I
• 33:49
  Speaker 5: was going to say. But why'd you mention it? No, no,
• 33:51
  Speaker 5: I'm saying we're not doing that today. He's not Slob
• 33:53
  Speaker 5: Costas today. We're not doing that today. All right, Fit Dog,
• 33:57
  Speaker 5: what do you got, baby?
• 33:58
  Speaker 3: Give us an update. I got his back on is
• 34:00
  Speaker 3: what I'm saying. I can tell. I can tell you do.
• 34:03
  Speaker 5: Fiddy.
• 34:13
  Speaker 6: Like I said, boys, I'll take all the strays today
• 34:16
  Speaker 6: if it gets us a win. At the bank on Sunday.
• 34:19
  Speaker 3: Don't say that, please.
• 34:21
  Speaker 8: Bring them on.
• 34:22
  Speaker 3: Bring them on, texters. This update is.
• 34:23
  Speaker 6: Brought to you by the H & S Roofing and
• 34:26
  Speaker 6: Gutter Company. If something doesn't look right with your roof
• 34:29
  Speaker 6: or your gutters, don't wait for a small problem to
• 34:31
  Speaker 6: become a big one. Call H & S Roofing and
• 34:34
  Speaker 6: Gutter Company today and they'll give you a free estimate.
• 34:37
  Speaker 6: That phone number, 704-334-9934. 704-334-9934. 7-0-4, 3-3-4, 9-9-3-4. Disappointing day
• 34:53
  Speaker 6: for the women at the U.S. Open yesterday, Mac. As
• 34:57
  Speaker 6: the third seed, Jessica Pagulia, she fell to the top seed, Sabalenko, 7-5-6-2.
• 35:03
  Speaker 6: And then the fourth seed, Coco Gauff, she lost in
• 35:07
  Speaker 6: three sets to the two seed, Alina Rabinka.
• 35:12
  Speaker 3: She lost 6-3-2.
• 35:15
  Speaker 2: 6-4, 6-4.
• 35:15
  Speaker 6: So we had a chance to have an all-woman final.
• 35:20
  Speaker 6: We don't get that. All eyes tonight, though, will be
• 35:23
  Speaker 6: on the men as Francis Tiafoe and Ben Shelton will
• 35:27
  Speaker 6: play for a spot in the final. The first time
• 35:30
  Speaker 6: since the early 2000s, an American male can win the U.S.
• 35:34
  Speaker 1: Open.
• 35:34
  Speaker 3: This tournament bag is going on a very long time,
• 35:36
  Speaker 3: isn't it?
• 35:37
  Speaker 6: They last the same length every time, two weeks.
• 35:40
  Speaker 3: It's a Fortnite bone. It's a Fortnite.
• 35:42
  Speaker 6: It's only a Fortnite at Wimbledon.
• 35:45
  Speaker 3: But a Fortnite is two weeks. It is.
• 35:46
  Speaker 6: I'm glad you know that.
• 35:47
  Speaker 4: So it is still a Fortnite. I know they don't
• 35:50
  Speaker 4: say it. We don't say it here in the States.
• 35:52
  Speaker 6: We speak proper English because we won the war in 1776.
• 35:58
  Speaker 3: Willie P called.
• 35:58
  Speaker 5: Your um just summed it up right there. Willie P
• 36:02
  Speaker 5: called Finney Domecricky.
• 36:03
  Speaker 3: Domecricky. Someone called him Swabuker.
• 36:07
  Speaker 5: This is not what we wanted when this whole thing started.
• 36:11
  Speaker 5: We're all on the same team today. We're all fighting
• 36:12
  Speaker 5: the same fight today. We're all trying to fight bears.
• 36:15
  Speaker 5: We don't need to be.
• 36:18
  Speaker 5: Stab each other in the back, stray in Matt, stray
• 36:21
  Speaker 5: in Slob Costas.
• 36:22
  Speaker 4: We don't need to be doing all that today. So
• 36:24
  Speaker 4: the next segment is perfectly timed.
• 36:26
  Speaker 6: 336 number wants to know, would I sacrifice Mal Mal
• 36:29
  Speaker 6: for a win on Sunday? Mal Mal sacrifices a reserve
• 36:33
  Speaker 6: for Dave Dorn in NC State.
• 36:35
  Speaker 4: I thought we were going, I thought Bone was going
• 36:37
  Speaker 4: to be a weekly segment. What game would I kill
• 36:39
  Speaker 4: Mal Mal for? So like, I'm actually glad that it
• 36:43
  Speaker 4: didn't happen the second straight week.
• 36:45
  Speaker 5: All right, when we come back, Bears fans continue to
• 36:48
  Speaker 5: be annoying as hell post-Bears trade. You're going to hear
• 36:51
  Speaker 5: some audio in there, too, that's going to make you mad. Plus,
• 36:54
  Speaker 5: could Bryce outplay Caleb on Sunday? Bears-Panthers talk next on
• 36:59
  Speaker 5: Sports Radio 92.7 WFNZ.
• 37:22
  Speaker 8: Because everybody has been talking about it. We've seen it.
• 37:24
  Speaker 7: Carolina Panthers fans have become really f * * *
• 37:26
  Speaker 7: ing irritating at the start of the season. I got
• 37:29
  Speaker 7: something for they ass. Usually I don't do stuff like this, right?
• 37:32
  Speaker 7: I don't spend time being, but you know what the
• 37:35
  Speaker 7: Panthers fans did? They unlocked the petty side of me.
• 37:38
  Speaker 7: When you unlock Petty Roosevelt, things go very differently, right?
• 37:41
  Speaker 7: So here's the thing. that I want to talk about.
• 37:43
  Speaker 7: You know why the Carolina Panthers fans are so, you know,
• 37:46
  Speaker 7: enamored with this game and they're so locked into this game?
• 37:49
  Speaker 7: Because to them, this game gives them an opportunity to
• 37:52
  Speaker 7: overcome the dumb that their front office did. Because the
• 37:54
  Speaker 7: Panthers trade that we made for the number one overall
• 37:56
  Speaker 7: pick became a roster building tree that Carolina wishes they had, right?
• 38:01
  Speaker 8: And that's it. It's not about the Bears, you know,
• 38:03
  Speaker 8: trading just the number one pick. That's way too simple.
• 38:07
  Speaker 8: It's what the deal turned into.
• 38:10
  Speaker 4: That is a fella named Maze, Boney, from the Chicago-based Central.
• 38:17
  Speaker 3: What is it? Hayes.
• 38:18
  Speaker 4: Oh, okay.
• 38:19
  Speaker 5: My bad, my bad. Maze would be the guy to
• 38:22
  Speaker 5: host a Michigan podcast. Yeah, and his name is not
• 38:24
  Speaker 5: Teddy Roosevelt.
• 38:25
  Speaker 2: Teddy.
• 38:25
  Speaker 3: Petty. Petty Roosevelt, yeah.
• 38:28
  Speaker 4: That is a guy named Hayes. I've already forgotten his name.
• 38:31
  Speaker 4: That is a man named Hayes that hosts a podcast called...
• 38:34
  Speaker 4: Chicago Bears Central, and he is feeling it. And that
• 38:38
  Speaker 4: mouthy individual whose name I got wrong, that dude right there, Bone,
• 38:42
  Speaker 4: is so indicative of the attitude of Bears fans towards
• 38:47
  Speaker 4: Panther fans.
• 38:47
  Speaker 3: It's not just Bears fans. It's media.
• 38:50
  Speaker 4: I've talked about it over the years doing interviews with
• 38:52
  Speaker 4: Chicago radio stations. the way they talk down to us
• 38:55
  Speaker 4: just because of that trade. And you brought up a
• 38:58
  Speaker 4: great point. And I just need to ask once again,
• 39:01
  Speaker 4: do Bears fans not annoy the crap out of you?
• 39:04
  Speaker 3: You brought up a great point before the show. That's
• 39:08
  Speaker 3: often where my great points reside. That's true.
• 39:11
  Speaker 4: That's true. When they get to yapping towards us, I
• 39:16
  Speaker 4: get it. That trade worked out really good for y'all. Um,
• 39:20
  Speaker 4: but when they get to yap into Panther fans, you
• 39:23
  Speaker 4: would think they're coming off like back-to-back.
• 39:25
  Speaker 3: Lombardis or something, the way they talk.
• 39:28
  Speaker 4: You know?
• 39:28
  Speaker 3: I don't get it. You all right over there, Bo? Yeah,
• 39:32
  Speaker 3: I got stuck in my work badge over here.
• 39:34
  Speaker 5: I was taking it off my head. No, the attitude there,
• 39:37
  Speaker 5: you're right. If you didn't know what the results were
• 39:41
  Speaker 5: last year and you just heard Petty Roosevelt talking there,
• 39:46
  Speaker 5: you would think that they were Seattle, that they won
• 39:48
  Speaker 5: a championship. I don't take away, Mac, from the Bears
• 39:51
  Speaker 5: being better. They've got a bright future. They've got a
• 39:54
  Speaker 5: great young head coach. Their offense is one of the
• 39:56
  Speaker 5: best in the league, and it will continue to be
• 39:58
  Speaker 5: that going forward. but they still have a ways to
• 40:01
  Speaker 5: go here. They got one spot further than the Panthers
• 40:04
  Speaker 5: last year. It's not like they went and lost in
• 40:06
  Speaker 5: the Super Bowl, won a Super Bowl, and their defense still,
• 40:10
  Speaker 5: although they have some parts there that are missing injury-wise,
• 40:13
  Speaker 5: they're not exactly a championship caliber defense. The way they act, Mac,
• 40:17
  Speaker 5: is that they're on a level... like those teams are
• 40:20
  Speaker 5: on right now in the NFC West. NFC West is
• 40:23
  Speaker 5: loaded with contenders. And you would think by hearing the
• 40:26
  Speaker 5: way that some Bears folks talk, that they're also one
• 40:29
  Speaker 5: of those teams that is on that level. And so
• 40:32
  Speaker 5: they're good. They're not great. But yet the attitude is
• 40:34
  Speaker 5: that they're great. And I'm really getting tired of it.
• 40:37
  Speaker 5: Your pizza sucks. Your hot dogs suck. Your football team sucks.
• 40:40
  Speaker 3: Your grass sucks.
• 40:41
  Speaker 6: I mean, we keep going. I can list a lot
• 40:43
  Speaker 6: of things I hate about that city.
• 40:45
  Speaker 3: Okay, okay. Hold that thought.
• 40:47
  Speaker 4: I hope Indiana enjoys their football team going forward. Doc
• 40:49
  Speaker 4: says F the Indiana Bears anyway. Listen, I don't dispute
• 40:53
  Speaker 4: the trade worked out well for them. We actually have
• 40:55
  Speaker 4: some texters saying the guy's right. So there are some
• 40:57
  Speaker 4: texters here in Charlotte saying he is right. Now, we
• 41:00
  Speaker 4: do have another texter in T that says, I don't care.
• 41:02
  Speaker 4: No one cares about the trade anymore. They're a team
• 41:05
  Speaker 4: on the rise. We're a team on the rise. They
• 41:08
  Speaker 4: lost to the Rams in a tight game in the playoffs.
• 41:10
  Speaker 4: We lost to the Rams. Now, they did get a
• 41:12
  Speaker 4: playoff win, and they did win three more games than
• 41:15
  Speaker 4: us last year. But their strength of schedule was so
• 41:17
  Speaker 4: much easier than ours last season. I was reading an
• 41:21
  Speaker 4: article about this, Bone. I think ESPN does strength of victory,
• 41:24
  Speaker 4: believe it or not, not just for college football, but
• 41:26
  Speaker 4: for pro football. And the Panthers' strength of victory was
• 41:29
  Speaker 4: higher than the Bears'. The schedule was a big part
• 41:33
  Speaker 4: of what they did compared to what we did last year.
• 41:36
  Speaker 4: We had a top 10 schedule. They had a schedule
• 41:39
  Speaker 4: that was damn near Patriots territory. So I think that's
• 41:42
  Speaker 4: got to be pointed out. Listen, they use the trade
• 41:45
  Speaker 4: extremely well. I can't deny that. But I think what
• 41:49
  Speaker 4: does that bother Panther fans a little bit?
• 41:51
  Speaker 5: Maybe.
• 41:52
  Speaker 4: But I think what bothers us more is that y'all
• 41:55
  Speaker 4: yap about that trade like it has led you to
• 41:57
  Speaker 4: three straight Lombardis.
• 42:00
  Speaker 5: It's helped you, you're building, but man, they overdo it, dude.
• 42:03
  Speaker 5: I know that they have hope, but I'm not saying
• 42:05
  Speaker 5: they shouldn't. It's largely based in the offense. They are
• 42:08
  Speaker 5: so much better than they've been. But also, Mac, historically,
• 42:12
  Speaker 5: they're not exactly a... A franchise that's consistently also been
• 42:16
  Speaker 5: great forever either. So there's an attitude there of almost
• 42:19
  Speaker 5: arrogance when you have been a pretty dormant franchise for
• 42:24
  Speaker 5: a very long time to have an arrogance the way
• 42:27
  Speaker 5: you're going about things.
• 42:28
  Speaker 4: That point you brought up about the consistency, Ben Johnson
• 42:30
  Speaker 4: brought that up himself the other day. He said, I
• 42:34
  Speaker 4: don't want to hear anything about last year.
• 42:36
  Speaker 3: He says.
• 42:37
  Speaker 4: This team has had good years and they followed it
• 42:39
  Speaker 4: up with, they haven't been able to follow it up.
• 42:42
  Speaker 4: And you look at their, at what they did. They
• 42:44
  Speaker 4: had a 12 win year in 2018. And then right
• 42:47
  Speaker 4: back to eight, eight, six, they had a 10 win
• 42:50
  Speaker 4: year in 2012. Then they went down to eight, you know,
• 42:53
  Speaker 4: so they have a history 13 win season in 26
• 42:55
  Speaker 4: down to seven. So I know I'm, and I fully admit,
• 42:59
  Speaker 4: We hadn't had back-to-back winning seasons one time in our
• 43:01
  Speaker 4: whole franchise.
• 43:01
  Speaker 3: So we've got a similar problem ourselves.
• 43:04
  Speaker 4: But I just think the arrogance in that fan base
• 43:09
  Speaker 4: is over the top towards us, man.
• 43:11
  Speaker 3: And the funny thing is, he acts.
• 43:13
  Speaker 4: Like— I was listening to his rant because it goes on
• 43:15
  Speaker 4: for another two minutes. That dude on that Bears podcast,
• 43:19
  Speaker 4: he acts like Panther fans are the initiators and the aggressors.
• 43:23
  Speaker 4: I feel like it's been Bears fans talking to Panther
• 43:26
  Speaker 4: fans about the trade and about how great it's made them,
• 43:29
  Speaker 4: and then it's Panther fans responding in kind.
• 43:32
  Speaker 5: It's a little odd that a team that... claims to
• 43:35
  Speaker 5: have won the trade, then talks down about the trade.
• 43:38
  Speaker 5: It's a very, I don't know, it's a very complicated situation.
• 43:42
  Speaker 5: A texter here, Max, says the only good thing to
• 43:45
  Speaker 5: come out of Chicago was Mr. T. I did not
• 43:49
  Speaker 5: know Mr. T came out. Well, Netflix has a new
• 43:52
  Speaker 5: documentary out I saw the other day about the wife
• 43:54
  Speaker 5: and times of Mr. T.
• 43:55
  Speaker 3: Check it out, man. There we go.
• 43:56
  Speaker 5: And if you don't watch it, I've got a couple
• 43:58
  Speaker 5: words for you. I pity the fool who doesn't watch it.
• 44:01
  Speaker 5: I ain't getting on no plane, Hannibal.
• 44:05
  Speaker 3: Real ones know. Real old ones know. Fitty, what did
• 44:08
  Speaker 3: you want to say about the city of Chicago? What
• 44:11
  Speaker 3: did you want to say?
• 44:13
  Speaker 6: Well, I was just piling all when Bella's going after
• 44:15
  Speaker 6: their hot dog, their pizza. What are they known for?
• 44:18
  Speaker 6: The Italian beef there as well.
• 44:21
  Speaker 4: I want the record to show I would definitely eat
• 44:22
  Speaker 4: that crap out of that Italian beef sandwich and their pizza.
• 44:26
  Speaker 3: Italian beef is, I'm not going after that. It's delicious.
• 44:30
  Speaker 6: Well, for this week, it's crap. Your stadium is crap.
• 44:33
  Speaker 6: When you move to Indiana, you'll be the third team
• 44:35
  Speaker 6: in Indiana because that's a Hoosier state. That's a Notre
• 44:38
  Speaker 6: Dame football state. So enjoy that. Mac, when I think
• 44:42
  Speaker 6: about Chicago, And I've never been. I can't think of
• 44:46
  Speaker 6: one redeeming quality about that city.
• 44:49
  Speaker 2: Not one.
• 44:50
  Speaker 6: And so I would like to, and I hate the
• 44:52
  Speaker 6: way you've been treated when you go on the air there,
• 44:55
  Speaker 6: when you go and join all these people.
• 44:56
  Speaker 3: It's despicable.
• 44:57
  Speaker 6: It's my job and Bone's job to talk down to you,
• 44:59
  Speaker 6: not these other people.
• 45:00
  Speaker 3: It's hurtful, Fitty. It really is. Thank you. I thank you.
• 45:03
  Speaker 6: I would like for one day for us to be
• 45:07
  Speaker 6: the talk of the town. and we can shut their
• 45:10
  Speaker 6: fans up.
• 45:11
  Speaker 3: I know. I want this thing badly.
• 45:12
  Speaker 6: And force the ESPN producers to find a way on
• 45:14
  Speaker 6: Monday to still give us no credit.
• 45:16
  Speaker 3: Because, you know, that's what sucks about this, is even if.
• 45:19
  Speaker 6: We win the damn game, the narrative won't be, what
• 45:22
  Speaker 6: did the Panthers.
• 45:23
  Speaker 3: Do to win? What happened to the Bears?
• 45:25
  Speaker 6: What went wrong for Chicago? The only guy that'll be
• 45:29
  Speaker 6: having our backs on national TV is Eric Mangini.
• 45:33
  Speaker 8: And I want more.
• 45:34
  Speaker 3: Is it okay to.
• 45:35
  Speaker 6: Want more than someone other than Eric Mangini talking up
• 45:38
  Speaker 6: the Panthers?
• 45:38
  Speaker 4: Although After we kick the bear's ass. I appreciate Eric
• 45:41
  Speaker 4: Mangini dearly. He has been here for us when many
• 45:43
  Speaker 4: aren't this week. I will say that.
• 45:44
  Speaker 5: I found myself while Fiddy was talking here in quite
• 45:48
  Speaker 5: a situation.
• 45:48
  Speaker 3: I'm sure that Fiddy won't laugh at here.
• 45:51
  Speaker 5: When I go after Chicago, I would like to remove
• 45:54
  Speaker 5: Coach K and John Shire from the things about Chicago.
• 45:56
  Speaker 5: I do not count them. He gets an exemption. Those
• 46:00
  Speaker 5: are families separate here. I've also got my Uncle Chip
• 46:03
  Speaker 5: from Chicago. So when I send Mr. T... There's other
• 46:06
  Speaker 5: people involved. I can't have to— We have another uncle?
• 46:08
  Speaker 2: Huh?
• 46:09
  Speaker 3: Another uncle? Yeah, my uncle Chip's from Chicago. He lives
• 46:11
  Speaker 3: in Chicago, yeah. How many damn uncles you got? I
• 46:14
  Speaker 3: got a lot of uncles.
• 46:16
  Speaker 6: How is it possible? Do you have the world record
• 46:18
  Speaker 6: for uncles? You have more uncles than an Alabama native
• 46:20
  Speaker 6: has cousins.
• 46:22
  Speaker 5: Well, they're all— I mean, some are great uncles. I mean,
• 46:24
  Speaker 5: some are from, like, the Civil War time, like Uncle
• 46:28
  Speaker 5: Boudreau Boudreau, but—
• 46:31
  Speaker 5: .
• 46:33
  Speaker 3: You can't claim them.
• 46:35
  Speaker 5: Yeah. I don't know if that counts. This wasn't even,
• 46:37
  Speaker 5: we're all on the same page here, right? What about,
• 46:39
  Speaker 5: I'm just saying we've got a family that lives there.
• 46:41
  Speaker 5: I don't want Coach K and John Shire.
• 46:42
  Speaker 3: Part of this. Move them out of this thing. All right.
• 46:45
  Speaker 3: All right. We will.
• 46:46
  Speaker 4: 828 says, just got back from Chicago last week, tried
• 46:48
  Speaker 4: the pizza and it was ass, he says.
• 46:50
  Speaker 3: Wow.
• 46:51
  Speaker 4: There are some texters though that are citing. with the
• 46:56
  Speaker 4: podcast dude from Chicago, Hayes. I think I got it
• 46:58
  Speaker 4: right now. This texter says, got to be honest, y'all.
• 47:02
  Speaker 4: It bothers the hell out of me that the Bears
• 47:04
  Speaker 4: won that trade so severely over us that all we
• 47:07
  Speaker 4: got is Bryce, who is a mid quarterback.
• 47:10
  Speaker 3: It hurts. And that is why I want to beat them.
• 47:13
  Speaker 3: I just, a.
• 47:16
  Speaker 4: Lot of, we got a texter that says, do they
• 47:18
  Speaker 4: remember the Greg Olson trade? I just like, listen, our
• 47:21
  Speaker 4: old GM, Scott Fitterer made a move, and it's worked
• 47:25
  Speaker 4: out extremely great for the damn Bears. I still believe, Bone,
• 47:30
  Speaker 4: that there's a world where Bryce Young makes another jump
• 47:33
  Speaker 4: this year, where we increase our win total, where we
• 47:36
  Speaker 4: maybe even advance in the playoffs, and he gets a
• 47:38
  Speaker 4: contract extension, and we're feeling like that– Like, getting Bryce
• 47:42
  Speaker 4: was a huge part of our growth. I don't think that, like,
• 47:46
  Speaker 4: some of y'all just declare, oh, my God, Bryce Young
• 47:48
  Speaker 4: ain't going to be with us. I think it could
• 47:51
  Speaker 4: be a trade where both teams, it helped both teams rebuild.
• 47:53
  Speaker 5: I still do. Thanks for Kobe White also, a more
• 47:56
  Speaker 5: recent trade. Thank you for him, by the way.
• 47:58
  Speaker 3: There you go, Bone. I felt good about that one there.
• 48:01
  Speaker 5: When we come back, college football confidence check-in. Who has
• 48:06
  Speaker 5: it this week and who is scared? Sports Radio 92.7 WFNZ.
