1:35
Speaker 1: So our lead this hour is from you know what,
1:38
Speaker 1: the championship games are now set in the NFL's kind
1:43
Speaker 1: of a big deal in our world, slightly slightly a
1:46
Speaker 1: big deal. And our lead is from the most hyped
1:50
Speaker 1: game of the divisional round of the playoffs. I will
1:53
Speaker 1: tell you we're supposed to have another octagon an hour two.
1:57
Speaker 1: I'm hearing rumors that one of the guys gonna flake,
2:00
Speaker 1: and if that happens, that person's dead to me. But
2:04
Speaker 1: we'll find out. That'll be an hour or two. There's
2:06
Speaker 1: rumors in the hallways here that one of the combatants
2:09
Speaker 1: is gonna fight. But our lead this hour is from Buffalo.
2:12
Speaker 1: Here we go, Buffalo. There was snow, although there was
2:16
Speaker 1: more snow in the Eagles game than there was in
2:19
Speaker 1: the Bills game. But the Vision round of the playoffs
2:21
Speaker 1: Lamar Jackson trying to kill some demons. Playoff, Lamar trying
2:26
Speaker 1: to end all that, at least for the week. Raven's
2:30
Speaker 1: traveling three hundred and sixty two miles as the crow
2:32
Speaker 1: flies or in this case, the Blackbird, the poet the
2:36
Speaker 1: Raven into western New York for a date to wrangle
2:42
Speaker 1: with Josh Allen and the Bills. The winner gets a
2:45
Speaker 1: trip to Cansau City to eat great barbecue, amazing chicken
2:50
Speaker 1: fingers over there at the Landing and Liberty and of
2:53
Speaker 1: course the Ben Mathers chicken fingers and just have a
2:55
Speaker 1: great time. So if you didn't watch the game, why
2:58
Speaker 1: the hell not? What else were you doing? I don't
3:00
Speaker 1: want to know. Maybe you missed it. So Josh Allen
3:02
Speaker 1: did not have a gotty stat line. He wasn't gotty,
3:06
Speaker 1: but he did have two rushing touchdowns and the Buffalo
3:11
Speaker 1: defense forcing not one, not two, but three turnovers and
3:16
Speaker 1: a little bit of a drop ski there at the end.
3:18
Speaker 1: More on that in a minute. For the Baltimore football team,
3:22
Speaker 1: the Bills advanced to the AFC Championship Game, a heart
3:26
Speaker 1: pounding twenty seven to twenty five victory over the beleaguer
3:31
Speaker 1: Baltimore football team in the Divisional round on a cold
3:35
Speaker 1: Sunday night, the Bill's hung on as a wide open,
3:40
Speaker 1: wide open Mark Andrews, he had it right there, two
3:45
Speaker 1: point conversion, two point conversion passed from Lamar Jackson, ball
3:52
Speaker 1: bounced off his chest, right off his chest with a
3:56
Speaker 1: minute thirty three left. Now the raven fan will say, Hey,
4:00
Speaker 1: that's the end of the deal right there. That is it.
4:03
Speaker 1: That is we fed up right there, and that's all
4:07
Speaker 1: the Bills fanis said. Well, even if he had gotten that,
4:10
Speaker 1: the Bills had a minute thirty three, all they needed
4:12
Speaker 1: was a field goal to go down and win that game.
4:16
Speaker 1: Now Jackson hadn't connected moments earlier on a pass played
4:23
Speaker 1: to Isaiah, likely a sliding pass play a twenty four
4:27
Speaker 1: yard touchdown. There, the Ravens had the chance to win
4:32
Speaker 1: the game. They had that to tie the game and
4:35
Speaker 1: then eventually win the game. We have to tie before
4:37
Speaker 1: you can win. And well we know what happened. So
4:40
Speaker 1: the Bills advanced to the AFC Championship Game where next
4:43
Speaker 1: Sunday against the number one Seaton and City, the two
4:50
Speaker 1: time defending champion Chiefs. More on their game later as
4:54
Speaker 1: we work our way through the overnight. Buffalo snapping a
4:57
Speaker 1: three year run, a three year run of being eliminated
5:03
Speaker 1: in the divisional round of the plaus Now it is
5:05
Speaker 1: a familiar matchup. We have seen this many times. Buffalo
5:09
Speaker 1: has been eliminated by Kansas City in three of the
5:11
Speaker 1: past four postseasons three of the past four postseasons. So
5:16
Speaker 1: let us discuss the question, does tight end Mark Andrews
5:21
Speaker 1: of the Baltimore football team deserve all the heat that
5:26
Speaker 1: he is getting for this performance against Buffalo? So I've
5:31
Speaker 1: got Southwest Airlines, Vanity Mirror, and Santa Claus and we'll
5:37
Speaker 1: combine all of these things together and we are going
5:42
Speaker 1: to make TikTok, which no longer exists for now haha,
5:46
Speaker 1: no more TikTok. All right, So a to answer the question,
5:49
Speaker 1: does Baltimore's Mark Andrews deserve the heat that he is
5:54
Speaker 1: getting for this performance against the Bills. Yes, I am
5:58
Speaker 1: nodding my head. This is kind of obvious, Like this
6:00
Speaker 1: is not Pop Warner, this is not high school. This
6:03
Speaker 1: is big time professional football. It is a make or
6:07
Speaker 1: miss situation. You either make the play or you missed
6:09
Speaker 1: the play. And he missed it in splendid fashion with
6:14
Speaker 1: the ras mataz of a stumblebum. Is how this went
6:19
Speaker 1: down for Mark Andrews. In fact, before Sunday. Now the
6:24
Speaker 1: Raves died in Mark Andrews before Sunday, all right. He
6:27
Speaker 1: had not dropped a pass since Week eight. What a time?
6:31
Speaker 1: What a time to drop a pass. Now, this performance
6:35
Speaker 1: is like a nice tattoo. Okay, it's like a tax
6:38
Speaker 1: it's with you for life, Okay. At age twenty nine,
6:43
Speaker 1: Mark Andrews, you got a few more years left in
6:45
Speaker 1: the NFL that maybe you can get a different tattoo,
6:48
Speaker 1: and tattoo over that tattoo was something more attractive. But
6:52
Speaker 1: that is how he is branded at this point. He
6:55
Speaker 1: had two drop passes in the divisional round here, including
7:02
Speaker 1: the two point conversion and also a backbreaking fumble for
7:06
Speaker 1: Mark Andrews at the Buffalo forty six yard line. He
7:09
Speaker 1: fumbled the ball that led to the Bills getting a
7:12
Speaker 1: field goal attempt that nels required the Ravens to go
7:15
Speaker 1: down and get the two point conversion. You see how
7:19
Speaker 1: this is all connected. Mark Andrews, who has been the
7:22
Speaker 1: safety blanket for Lamar Jackson for many, many years. And
7:26
Speaker 1: you look at this and Andrews on this one. It
7:29
Speaker 1: was at Southwest Airlines. He was like a coal pilot
7:31
Speaker 1: at Southwest Airlines. He had one of those one to
7:33
Speaker 1: get away situations going on. He really wanted to get away.
7:37
Speaker 1: But seriously, you talk about coming up small on the
7:41
Speaker 1: big stage with everyone watching, right, everyone's paying attention and
7:45
Speaker 1: wh Yeah, not not good. Here's the head coach of
7:50
Speaker 1: the Baltimore football team, John Harbaugh, explaining that his tight end, well,
7:56
Speaker 1: of course he's not gonna say his tight end sucked.
7:58
Speaker 1: He's gonna have to spin it. Let's see what he's
8:00
Speaker 1: it with.
8:00
Speaker 3: Let's take there's nobody that has more heart and cares
8:02
Speaker 3: more and fights more than Mark. Because we wouldn't be
8:04
Speaker 3: here without Mark Andrews. You know that's that's what you
8:06
Speaker 3: say to him, so you know it's like anything else.
8:08
Speaker 3: I mean, destiny is a decision that you make.
8:10
Speaker 1: It's a decision is how.
8:11
Speaker 3: You handle what comes in your life. Now, Mark will
8:13
Speaker 3: handle it fantastic like he always does because he's a
8:16
Speaker 3: high character person. He's a tough person, and he's a
8:19
Speaker 3: good person. So proud of him is a second. Proud
8:22
Speaker 3: of all the guys.
8:23
Speaker 1: You would actually be playing in the AFC Championship game
8:26
Speaker 1: without Lamar Jackson. You are where you are because of
8:28
Speaker 1: Lamar Jackson. That's correct, That nothing wrong, Yes, high character guy,
8:33
Speaker 1: and I don't pay close attention to every single Raven game,
8:36
Speaker 1: But does it not seem like Lamar Jackson has played
8:39
Speaker 1: poorly in many of these playoff games, and Mark Andrews
8:41
Speaker 1: has also not played well in a lot of these
8:43
Speaker 1: playoff games. Those two things are like parallel to each
8:46
Speaker 1: other in these playoff situations. Now will Lamar Jackson, on
8:51
Speaker 1: the other hand, here will Lamar Jackson with this loss?
8:56
Speaker 1: Will he get a pass a playoff pass because he
9:00
Speaker 1: outperform Josh Allen Statistically speaking, we know you nerds out there,
9:05
Speaker 1: We know the nerds get all roused. They get the
9:08
Speaker 1: chubby for the stats. So will this give Lamar Jackson
9:12
Speaker 1: a pass because he had a dominant stat line And
9:17
Speaker 1: the answer to that is thumbs down on that. No,
9:19
Speaker 1: No stats are for losers. Losers. You repeat it, losers.
9:26
Speaker 1: There you go. It was a three dog knight for
9:30
Speaker 1: the Ravens. A three dog knight for the Ravens. Here miscues,
9:35
Speaker 1: penalties and mental errors. Now they didn't have a ton
9:40
Speaker 1: of penalties, but they certainly counted five penalties, gave up
9:43
Speaker 1: two first downs to Buffalo in this game. Buffalo scored
9:47
Speaker 1: ten points off the miscues. Baltimore turned the ball over
9:51
Speaker 1: not once, not twice, three times. That led to ten points.
9:54
Speaker 1: You can do the malord math on that how it
9:56
Speaker 1: turned out. And Lamar Jackson continues to be star crossed.
10:01
Speaker 1: And the theory on this is back on Draft night
10:05
Speaker 1: when he was coming out of Louisville and entering the NFL.
10:09
Speaker 1: There was a big party and somewhere in the party,
10:13
Speaker 1: Lamar accidentally took one of those vanity mirrors and broke it.
10:19
Speaker 1: He broke the vanity mirror, and that gave him seven
10:22
Speaker 1: years of bad luck. But it only affects the playoffs
10:25
Speaker 1: because in the regular season there is really no bad
10:28
Speaker 1: luck for Lamar Jackson. It's just playoff Lamar. That's where
10:32
Speaker 1: the glitch happens. Seven years bad luck, and oh, by
10:36
Speaker 1: the way, this would be his seventh year in the NFL. Now,
10:40
Speaker 1: the concern is he actually broke two vanity mirrors at
10:44
Speaker 1: that party. Therefore he's got fourteen seasons of bad luck,
10:49
Speaker 1: which means seven more to go. Good luck on that.

Speaker 1: reminder coming up later this hour. It is scheduled the

12:09
Speaker 1: championship game that will be played later on Monday night
12:14

12:28
Speaker 1: We'll see if that happens or not. But Buck Nutts
12:32

12:35
Speaker 1: versus a man who's a proud golden domer, Alameda Lou.
12:39
Speaker 1: I'm sure Alameda Lou will not flake on us at all.
12:43
Speaker 1: But we begin this hour from Philadelphia, Philadelphia, PA, a
12:48
Speaker 1: snow packed afternoon. Well it didn't start this way, but
12:52
Speaker 1: it ended up that way in the divisional round where
12:54
Speaker 1: Matthew Stafford and the lri Ams traveling circus heading to
12:58
Speaker 1: the Delaware Valley to wrestle with Jalen Hurts and the
13:02
Speaker 1: eight gl Agles. The winner against the host host the
13:09
Speaker 1: NFC Championship game because the Detroit Lions choked against the
13:14
Speaker 1: Washington football team, so the Commanders will be the road
13:17
Speaker 1: team and they would take on the winner of this
13:20
Speaker 1: Philadelphia LA team. I assume you know who won by now,
13:22
Speaker 1: but maybe not. Maybe he didn't watch the game. As
13:25
Speaker 1: Sekwan Barkley pouring salt on the wound of the New
13:28
Speaker 1: York Giants in an Eagle uniform, he dashed through the
13:32
Speaker 1: snow the winter wonder Land. He had massive run seventy
13:36
Speaker 1: eight yard touchdown for Philadelphia, sixty two yard touchdown for
13:41
Speaker 1: the Eagles. He finished with two hundred and five yards rushing.
13:45
Speaker 1: Jalen Hurts had forty four yards on a one carry
13:48
Speaker 1: for a touchdown. That's pretty much all he did. The
13:51
Speaker 1: Eagles held on by the skin on their chiney chinchin,
13:55
Speaker 1: held on by the skin on their chinny chinchin, and
13:58
Speaker 1: they get past the Rams twenty eight to twenty two
14:01
Speaker 1: to reach the NFC Championship Game for the second time
14:05
Speaker 1: in three years. But the better story is in the
14:10
Speaker 1: losing locker room, and so that is where we will focus.
14:12
Speaker 1: Let us discuss question where did things go wrong for
14:17
Speaker 1: Sean mcvay's Rams. They won the statue but lost the game.
14:20
Speaker 1: Where did things go wrong for Sean mcvay's Rams. So
14:23
Speaker 1: I've got drive through utensils and Hulk a maniac, and
14:29
Speaker 1: we will combine all of these things together and we
14:33
Speaker 1: will provide a investigation. A Mather Show investigation is what
14:39
Speaker 1: we're going to do. So Nber, Yes, this is not
14:47
Speaker 1: open heart surgery. We're just talking about sports. We're just
14:50
Speaker 1: talking about a random football playoff game. The Rams sucked
14:55
Speaker 1: at a time you cannot suck. That would be the
14:57
Speaker 1: start of the fourth quarter, but really only for a
14:59
Speaker 1: few minutes at the start of the fourth quarter. But
15:01
Speaker 1: that was enough to sink their battleship. That's the problem.
15:05
Speaker 1: They matched the Eagles blow for blow. In fact, they
15:07
Speaker 1: won the statuet, but it was eleven seconds in. That
15:12
Speaker 1: was the point of demarcation for the Rams. Eleven seconds
15:15
Speaker 1: in to the fourth quarter. The Rams were trailing by
15:18
Speaker 1: one point. It's a sixteen to fifteen game. The Rams
15:22
Speaker 1: trailing by one point. Sean mcvagh decided to leave the stadium.
15:25
Speaker 1: He went out, He went through the drive through at Windy's.
15:28
Speaker 1: He ended up ordering not one, but two Frosty's and
15:33
Speaker 1: Frosty the snow Man. Kyrine Williams, a golden domer. He
15:37
Speaker 1: went to Notre Dame. He played in cold weather. You
15:40
Speaker 1: wouldn't know it because the Ram running back. Yeah, he
15:45
Speaker 1: turned the ball over right around midfield. The ball was
15:48
Speaker 1: returned to the Ram ten yard line. Rams up by one,
15:52
Speaker 1: cough up the football and that ultimately led to a
15:55
Speaker 1: field goal by the Eagles. So now you're down by four.
15:58
Speaker 1: That was Frosty the Snowman number one, Frosty the Snowman
16:01
Speaker 1: number two. LA's very next drive, Matthew Stafford coughed up
16:05
Speaker 1: a for a ball and fumba that was also in
16:08
Speaker 1: Ram territory the thirty eight yard line, handing the ball,
16:13
Speaker 1: setting up the Eagles offense, giving the Eagles a short
16:17
Speaker 1: field that they couldn't get a touchdown because they're not
16:20
Speaker 1: really not that good. But the Eagles got a field
16:22
Speaker 1: goal twenty two to fifteen that was frost to eat
16:25
Speaker 1: the snowman number two. And so in the span of
16:29
Speaker 1: a couple of minutes, the Rams went from potentially driving
16:34
Speaker 1: down the field to have a field goal attempt to
16:37
Speaker 1: take the lead, be up by two, or a touchdown
16:41
Speaker 1: to go up by a bunch, and it didn't happen.
16:45
Speaker 1: Those two fumbles by Tyrone Williams and Matthew Stafford ultimately
16:49
Speaker 1: provided the difference in the game. Good afternoon, good evening,
16:54
Speaker 1: and good night. But a team from the West Coast,
16:57
Speaker 1: supposedly soft team against a big, tough Burley Philadelphia Eagle team.
17:01
Speaker 1: If I'm a Philadelphia Eagle fan, I'm not feeling very good,
17:04
Speaker 1: cause that game was a lot closer than it needed
17:07
Speaker 1: to be now, page two. Following the loss, all right,
17:11
Speaker 1: following the loss, Matthew Stafford was quizzed about his future.
17:15
Speaker 1: I think we have some audio on that. Let's go
17:17
Speaker 1: to the audio tape. Here's Matthew Stafford asked about what's
17:21
Speaker 1: going to happen going forward. Take a listen. I'm so
17:23
Speaker 1: proud to be associated with this group, and you know,
17:26
Speaker 1: as far as my future goes, I mean, it's thirty
17:29
Speaker 1: minutes after the last game, so I'll take some time
17:31
Speaker 1: to think about it. But I feel like I was
17:34
Speaker 1: playing some pretty good ball. You got football left in you?
17:37
Speaker 1: Sure it feels like it. You might want to see
17:39
Speaker 1: a doctor and have that taken out anyway, So Stafford saying, hey,
17:43
Speaker 1: take some time to think about it. That was the
17:45
Speaker 1: money quote about his future, leaving the open end to
17:50
Speaker 1: that question. I don't know the plot thickens. So where
17:55
Speaker 1: answer people here? What are the odds? Matthew Stafford returns
18:00
Speaker 1: to the Rams in twenty twenty five's regular season. What
18:03
Speaker 1: are the odds? Matthew Stafford returns to the Rams again,
18:06
Speaker 1: his commentary, you just heard it there takes some time
18:09
Speaker 1: to think about it, as what he said. So I'm
18:11
Speaker 1: gonna set the malor odds at minus one point fifty
18:15
Speaker 1: on Stafford returning to the La Rams. That implies a
18:18
Speaker 1: sixty percent chance, but also a forty percent chance he
18:23
Speaker 1: does not come back to the Rams. And here's why.
18:27
Speaker 1: A couple of years ago, the Rams came this close
18:29
Speaker 1: you can't see my fingers, but this close to getting
18:31
Speaker 1: rid of Matthew Stafford. They were ready to move on.
18:33
Speaker 1: They thought he was too damaged, and they were looking
18:36
Speaker 1: to unload Stafford. It didn't work out at that point.
18:40
Speaker 1: And so the Rams right now and Stafford yet again,
18:45
Speaker 1: are staring at utensils. They are at a fork in
18:49
Speaker 1: the road, a fork in the road. Stafford played the
18:52
Speaker 1: twenty twenty four regular season and now obviously the postseason,
18:56
Speaker 1: essentially on a one year contract. Now he got paid
18:58
Speaker 1: very well, the riches of Solomon or in this case
19:01
Speaker 1: the riches of Stan Croncky, the owner, forty million dollars
19:04
Speaker 1: essentially for one year. The contract allows the Rams and
19:07
Speaker 1: Stafford to reassess, to reassess after the season. The season
19:14
Speaker 1: is now over and a wa la, here we are
19:18
Speaker 1: back at the fork in the road. The crossroads. Stafford
19:21
Speaker 1: has been a year to year or year to year
19:24
Speaker 1: really for a couple of season. Now the Rams they
19:26
Speaker 1: have no safety net, which I'm fine with. It'll be
19:28
Speaker 1: kind of fun to see what they do if Stafford
19:31
Speaker 1: does leave all of their Eggs have been in the
19:34
Speaker 1: Stafford basket. They had Jimmy Garoppolo, who's pretty washed up
19:38
Speaker 1: as the backup, and so they'll have to turn over
19:41
Speaker 1: some rocks and fus around to try to find a
19:44
Speaker 1: quarterback if Stafford retires or if he goes to some
19:47
Speaker 1: other team. But the smart money says he goes back
19:51
Speaker 1: one year year to year situation. It's sixty forty. As
19:54
Speaker 1: they said. Now the positives, you weigh the positives and
19:58
Speaker 1: the negatives and all that. The positives, he's comfortable with McVeigh.
20:01
Speaker 1: Mcveigh's comfortable with him. The Rams are set up to
20:05
Speaker 1: be a good team year in and year out because
20:07
Speaker 1: they draft, They've drafted well, they have the money to spend,
20:10
Speaker 1: they sign free agents and whatnot. Rams have a stud
20:13
Speaker 1: wide receiver, Pulga Nakua. Their other stud wide receiver, Cooper Cup,
20:18
Speaker 1: appears to be washed up all of a sudden, but
20:19
Speaker 1: they have other playmakers the negatives. Matthew Stafford is about
20:23
Speaker 1: to turn thirty seven, has a history. His medical chart
20:28
Speaker 1: is reminiscent of Kawhi Leonard or Anthony Davis from the NBA.
20:32
Speaker 1: Gets hurt quite a bit. He's battered, beaten, bruised all
20:36
Speaker 1: of that. And so if Stafford is gone, the Rams
20:39
Speaker 1: will have to go down to the flea market. And
20:41
Speaker 1: you look at the quarterbacks that are going to change
20:43
Speaker 1: teams or could change teams this offseason, there are some
20:46
Speaker 1: real turds. Sam Darnold, Derek Carr, Aaron Rogers, Kirk Cousins
20:53
Speaker 1: is out there, Russell Wilson, justin Fields and I go on,
20:58
Speaker 1: that's the quarterback shuffle this offseason. That's the quarterback shuffle.
21:02
Speaker 1: So it's Stafford conceivably if he wanted to, seems to
21:05
Speaker 1: like La and the vibe in LA and his wife's annoying,
21:07
Speaker 1: does that stupid podcast? But they could run off to
21:10
Speaker 1: Pittsburgh or somewhere like that, Stafford and play for the
21:12
Speaker 1: Steelers and give it a go there with Mike Tomlin.
21:15
Speaker 1: That's unlikely to happen now. Final point, so prior to
21:19
Speaker 1: the Ram Eagle game. Prior to the game, the Ram
21:24
Speaker 1: rookie stud pass rusher, your defensive rookie of the year
21:27
Speaker 1: more likely than not. In the NFL, Jared Verse said, quote,
21:31
Speaker 1: I hate Eagles fans. He said they're so annoying. He
21:36
Speaker 1: pointed out, I hate Eagle fans. Is what he said.
21:39
Speaker 1: When I see that green and white, I hate it.
21:42
Speaker 1: Verse said, I actually get upset. He stated, like, I
21:47
Speaker 1: actually genuinely get hot. It's like hot flashes, like you said,
21:51
Speaker 1: going through menopause or something. Wow. All right, So this
21:55
Speaker 1: was of course played up in the media as a
21:58
Speaker 1: big event. It was played up as you know, big
22:00
Speaker 1: deal and all that stuff. So some connecting the dots say, well,
22:04
Speaker 1: the Eagles won that game because Jared Vers said this
22:07
Speaker 1: about Eagle fans. Question, did rams rookie Jared Verse trashing
22:13
Speaker 1: the Philadelphia Eagle fan base, did that help push Philly
22:18
Speaker 1: into the winners circle? All right? So how about Yeah,
22:23
Speaker 1: Kirin Williams and Matthew Safford both of them fumbled because
22:26
Speaker 1: of that quote, and last they didn't. You'd have to
22:29
Speaker 1: be a country bumpkin to think that is the case. Now.
22:32
Speaker 1: I know there's a lot of country bumpkins out there,
22:33
Speaker 1: but come on. I did get a kick out of
22:37
Speaker 1: Verse going hulk of maniac. I saw this clip prior
22:41
Speaker 1: to the game, playing mind games as he took a
22:44
Speaker 1: lap Jared Verse, the rookie, around the link before the game.
22:49
Speaker 1: He was egging on the Eagle fan He was egging
22:53
Speaker 1: them on, putting his hand around his ear like Caulkamaniac
22:57
Speaker 1: Haul Cogan there the king of him and encouraging the booze,
23:00
Speaker 1: soaking it all up there playing the villain role, playing
23:04
Speaker 1: the villain role, enhancing the fan experience, and Verse backed
23:08
Speaker 1: it up. He played well. He had four tackles, three
23:11
Speaker 1: tackles for loss, a couple of sacks, a couple of
23:13
Speaker 1: quarterback hits, so he lived up to the billion. The
23:16
Speaker 1: Rams defense had a couple of meltdowns and that combined
23:21
Speaker 1: with the fumbles, did him in. But you know, going
23:23
Speaker 1: in next year, Rams will probably win the NFC West again.
23:26
Speaker 1: The Niners are gonna give that stiff brock Purty a
23:28
Speaker 1: lot of money. Seattle's got no quarterback with Gino Smith,
23:31
Speaker 1: Arizona's trotting out alligator Arms Murray. So Rams I don't
23:34
Speaker 1: even care if Stafford leaves. They're still gonna win the
23:36
Speaker 1: NFC West. Sean McVay is the top coach in that
23:39
Speaker 1: division by a country mile. The Rams have pukin Nakoula.
23:42
Speaker 1: They've got a bubbling up defense here, so things are
23:46
Speaker 1: fine in Ramland and it's pot luck here in the playoffs,
23:50
Speaker 1: it's hit and miss in the postseason, but you're gonna
23:53
Speaker 1: you know, going in, you're gonna have a better coach
23:55
Speaker 1: than everyone else in the NFC. As Sean McVay is
23:57
Speaker 1: the top coach in the NFC, So you know that
24:00
Speaker 1: going in. You know, assuming they sign a free agent
24:03
Speaker 1: or two and they draft a couple of guys that
24:05
Speaker 1: are halfway decent, the ramsel continue to climb up the ladder.
24:08
Speaker 1: I know you're annoyed by that, but that's the reality
24:10
Speaker 1: for Philadelphia. On the other hand, I wouldn't be feeling
24:13
Speaker 1: too good if I'm a Philadelphia Eagle fan, I would not.
24:17
Speaker 1: Jalen Hurts when he's healthy isn't all that good. And
24:20
Speaker 1: he's not healthy. So if Washington they don't have a
24:24
Speaker 1: great defense, but if they can just box everything up right,
24:26
Speaker 1: force Jalen Hursts to make a bunch of plays, good luck,
24:29
Speaker 1: good luck on that. We'll see how that goes. You
24:33
Speaker 1: imagine Washington makes the Super Bowl. Man.
