- 0:18Speaker 2: But kend of putt put through, Mela got it, shut
- 0:21Speaker 2: it off, the pots to himself and it's spotted up now.
- 0:23Speaker 3: Four it for horsa.
- 0:24Speaker 2: No cruiser gave it a cross shot stop where we
- 0:28Speaker 2: ling you legit it over? Time for the Toronto maple
- 0:31Speaker 2: leaps as the Apps fall final score four to three.
- 0:36Speaker 4: They beat us in the second. I thought we were
- 0:38Speaker 4: better than the third. But you got to play a
- 0:41Speaker 4: full sixty if you want to win. It's just that simple.
- 0:44Speaker 4: So we were quite there tonight.
- 0:46Speaker 2: You hold your head up, all right. You guys have
- 0:48Speaker 2: had a most magnificent season. He did a great job
- 0:51Speaker 2: out there today. So you just hold your head up. Okay.
- 0:56Speaker 5: Uh. After every devastating loss, any loss whatsoever, we're playing
- 1:03Speaker 5: that sound bite.
- 1:07Speaker 6: You hold your head up.
- 1:09Speaker 4: But you got to play a full sixty if you
- 1:11Speaker 4: want to win. It's just that simple. So we weren't
- 1:14Speaker 4: quite there tonight.
- 1:15Speaker 2: You hold your head up.
- 1:19Speaker 6: So the Avs losing ot last night to Toronto, back
- 1:22Speaker 6: and forth game. There's one thing like this. It's not
- 1:27Speaker 6: a criticism, it's more of, you know, just acknowledging a reality,
- 1:33Speaker 6: and it's that Nathan McKinnon plays with such an aggression
- 1:40Speaker 6: and wants to bury people so badly that I think
- 1:43Speaker 6: sometimes in overtimes he's just he's not built correctly for it.
- 1:47Speaker 6: Because here's what happens. He's got a one on one
- 1:49Speaker 6: with a guy in front of him, he tries to
- 1:50Speaker 6: beat him, and if he does, he's got a prime
- 1:53Speaker 6: scoring chance to close out the game. But I think
- 1:56Speaker 6: ninety eight percent of hockey players that are putting that
- 1:59Speaker 6: three on three situation moje take the puck back outside
- 2:03Speaker 6: the zone, circle around, keep possession, try and find a
- 2:06Speaker 6: clear entry way in like and Nathan just doesn't. He
- 2:09Speaker 6: doesn't do that. It's the same thing with sort of
- 2:11Speaker 6: his power play. He is so aggressive with trying to
- 2:14Speaker 6: make a pass in a perfect spot in between a
- 2:16Speaker 6: whole bunch of traffic and might get knocked away, but
- 2:19Speaker 6: if it works then it's great, you know what I mean.
- 2:20Speaker 6: It's not a criticism, it's just that's his style of game.
- 2:24Speaker 2: He wants to attack your face, yes, is what he
- 2:27Speaker 2: wants to do. He wants to look you in the
- 2:29Speaker 2: face and attack your face and tell your face I'm
- 2:31Speaker 2: I'm at you, I'm gonna get you sorry, and you.
- 2:37Speaker 3: Sound like death.
- 2:39Speaker 6: I told him to take the day off.
- 2:43Speaker 5: Speaking of speaking of faces, your face is the epitome
- 2:47Speaker 5: of death. I okay, it looks like I got hit with,
- 2:53Speaker 5: you know, ten pounds of meat.
- 2:55Speaker 6: Mosh mos. Wow, you keep your head up. You've had
- 2:59Speaker 6: a magnificent season.
- 3:00Speaker 3: I will, I will, I will do.
- 3:02Speaker 2: I will do my very all the blood rush to
- 3:04Speaker 2: your face, all that, all that crap that's going around.
- 3:09Speaker 2: It finally hit me, like in the third period last night,
- 3:11Speaker 2: and then on the way home and then at home
- 3:13Speaker 2: Mama Mia. But nonetheless, you're right, Brett. I mean, listen,
- 3:17Speaker 2: if it works, let me say though, let me say this.
- 3:21Speaker 2: If it works, if the pass off the boards to
- 3:24Speaker 2: himself works, it's gonna be awesome, and I'm gonna lose
- 3:30Speaker 2: my bacon. I'm gonna absolutely lose it if it works.
- 3:36Speaker 2: It didn't work. You know, I didn't realize either, because
- 3:41Speaker 2: the play continued. I had no idea how close they
- 3:45Speaker 2: came to winning it. In overtime, as Natus finds McKinnon
- 3:49Speaker 2: for the one timer. Dude, let me tell you, he
- 3:53Speaker 2: bombs it and it goes off the skinny part of
- 3:57Speaker 2: the path of the of the goal stick, goes up,
- 4:00Speaker 2: it hits the underside of the crossbar, bounces down on
- 4:04Speaker 2: the goal line, and then scorts to the left and
- 4:09Speaker 2: you're like, there's there's no way that puck. I mean,
- 4:11Speaker 2: I didn't know really what happened until I saw it
- 4:15Speaker 2: on the replay in the postgame show because we had
- 4:18Speaker 2: no time to show it. Yeah, because play continue, play continued,
- 4:21Speaker 2: and then you know the game is over. Then I
- 4:23Speaker 2: got to throw it to the friggin studio with Kyle
- 4:25Speaker 2: and Johnny and it's like, hey man, they came really
- 4:29Speaker 2: close to winning it. And you know what I appreciate
- 4:31Speaker 2: about that too. They tried to win it, and and
- 4:34Speaker 2: the Maple the Maple Leafs tried to win it. That's great.
- 4:39Speaker 2: They tried to win the game, and they won the
- 4:41Speaker 2: game as a hell of a hockey game, boys, hell
- 4:43Speaker 2: of a hockey game. And coach Bednara is correct. Second
- 4:47Speaker 2: period they were no good. They didn't have a shot
- 4:49Speaker 2: on goal for the first eight and a half nine
- 4:50Speaker 2: minutes of that second period, which is it's not going
- 4:53Speaker 2: to cut it in today's day and age against the
- 4:55Speaker 2: team that came in seven to one and two in
- 4:57Speaker 2: their previous ten playing their best hockey of the year.
- 5:00Speaker 2: You gotta you gotta go for full sixty.
- 5:04Speaker 6: The uh, the overtime stuff, and again, who cares? I mean,
- 5:08Speaker 6: they got to point out it last night and they're
- 5:11Speaker 6: still eleven up on the second place team in the league,
- 5:13Speaker 6: who happens to be in their own division. But they
- 5:16Speaker 6: have plenty of wiggle room here. It's not like you
- 5:18Speaker 6: you blew anything last night, nothing like that. It's just
- 5:21Speaker 6: an observation that I think we've we've seen over the
- 5:23Speaker 6: last couple of years the Avs.
- 5:25Speaker 3: And I'll say this.
- 5:27Speaker 6: From a viewership standpoint, the way the Avs play in
- 5:31Speaker 6: three on three ots is way more entertaining than what
- 5:35Speaker 6: some other teams do. There's some things.
- 5:39Speaker 2: A minute and a half and not even enter the
- 5:41Speaker 2: zone right and or the end of the zone. Like
- 5:44Speaker 2: It's like Maverick when he tried to re engage after
- 5:47Speaker 2: Goose's death, Vic, what do you say? He says, it's
- 5:50Speaker 2: not good, that it doesn't look good, good, not good,
- 5:53Speaker 2: and then the rio goes, what do you mean it
- 5:55Speaker 2: doesn't look good? It doesn't look any better than that.
- 5:57Speaker 2: It's it's just no good. It's no good. Well, that's
- 6:00Speaker 2: that's what some teams do. That's what Listen. The guy
- 6:02Speaker 2: could have a guy could have a two on zero
- 6:05Speaker 2: breakaway in overtimes. I had to.
- 6:09Speaker 3: Look Jackie Moon posting up the topics.
- 6:17Speaker 2: Only if you want, if you want it, so at
- 6:21Speaker 2: least they they try to win. I I can't fault
- 6:24Speaker 2: last night on well they lose it kit they win
- 6:27Speaker 2: in overtime, you know, because they tried and they had
- 6:31Speaker 2: to win. I mean it went dude, it went off
- 6:34Speaker 2: the skinny part of the goal stick. The odds of
- 6:36Speaker 2: that happening and then staying out of the net way,
- 6:42Speaker 2: I don't feel good today. I want to just say,
- 6:44Speaker 2: I want.
- 6:44Speaker 6: To say, f if your team's fatal flaw is they
- 6:47Speaker 6: can't win three on the three hockey, well you're in
- 6:49Speaker 6: luck because that doesn't happen when the postseason rolls around.
- 6:52Speaker 3: So who cares?
- 6:53Speaker 2: Correct? Hey, listen, they played a good they played a
- 6:56Speaker 2: good game. He had an unlucky goal. I don't know
- 6:59Speaker 2: what the hell happen been on that McMahon's second goal,
- 7:01Speaker 2: the one where he went streaking down I mean that
- 7:03Speaker 2: was I I didn't know the kid had that kind
- 7:07Speaker 2: of wheels, you know. And then it's a miscommunication so
- 7:09Speaker 2: all of it can't handle it off the draw. Then
- 7:12Speaker 2: it's a miscommunication between slove off and girard on. You
- 7:15Speaker 2: know who's got what on that guy right, well, he
- 7:18Speaker 2: just darts right between him and makes a great play.
- 7:21Speaker 2: I'm gonna give the kid all kinds of credit he was.
- 7:23Speaker 3: He was terrific, by the way, not the end of
- 7:27Speaker 3: the world. How many regulation losses are there now? Still?
- 7:32Speaker 2: Well?
- 7:32Speaker 3: Still four?
- 7:33Speaker 2: Now they've got eight. They've got eight beyond regulation. Hey,
- 7:36Speaker 2: and and let me ask you, dudes, this the lake
- 7:39Speaker 2: great Peter McNabb his favorite guy in the league to
- 7:44Speaker 2: watch shoot the pluck was Austin Matthews. How good was
- 7:47Speaker 2: that goal by Austin Matthews.
- 7:50Speaker 6: It was good, very good. It was not as good
- 7:53Speaker 6: as God. I wish Jesse was here today because I'd
- 7:55Speaker 6: make him do another spins call for what Marty Natus did,
- 7:59Speaker 6: Little Corkscrew. It's something about when you make a move
- 8:02Speaker 6: like that and the guy defending you starts to slide
- 8:06Speaker 6: off screen like a curling rock, just that slow, slowly
- 8:11Speaker 6: exiting frame. But then to find mccarr afterwards. You want
- 8:16Speaker 6: to talk about high level play. By the way, I
- 8:18Speaker 6: got audio from McKinnon. He was on with the Chicklets
- 8:20Speaker 6: Boys a few days ago and they were asking about
- 8:23Speaker 6: his his chemistry and relationship with Marty Nacho's. So we'll
- 8:27Speaker 6: get to that in just a second. But Nelly, I
- 8:30Speaker 6: want to hear that goal call against Let me know
- 8:32Speaker 6: when you find it, because it was remarkable and it
- 8:36Speaker 6: was like really eerily reminiscent, even like where it happened
- 8:41Speaker 6: on the ice. Of what Cale's was was just leaving
- 8:45Speaker 6: somebody in the dust. Obviously he didn't finish it, but
- 8:47Speaker 6: finding mchaale just screaming down the opposite side.
- 8:50Speaker 2: But Kirby Doc didn't screw himself down into the ice,
- 8:55Speaker 2: you know, I mean he just got left in the
- 8:57Speaker 2: dust by mcinn you know, as you said. Yeah, but
- 9:01Speaker 2: Jake McCabe last night screwed himself down into the ice
- 9:04Speaker 2: trying to defend I mean he just that's just an
- 9:06Speaker 2: ankle break and play and you're right down into the
- 9:11Speaker 2: ice is unbelievable, unbelievable skating.
- 9:14Speaker 6: By the way, as we wait for that, this was
- 9:16Speaker 6: Nathan McKinnon on was spitting chicklets the other day talking
- 9:18Speaker 6: about Marty Nacho's I.
- 9:20Speaker 7: Mean, I think we needed a little time. We played
- 9:23Speaker 7: pretty similar, you know, especially off the rush. Last year
- 9:26Speaker 7: was pretty good together. You know, we had some really
- 9:28Speaker 7: good moments. But I think this year we're just a
- 9:31Speaker 7: lot more communication. He's a lot more comfortable, I'm more comfortable,
- 9:35Speaker 7: and yeah, we just kind of try to get it
- 9:38Speaker 7: get out of each other's way a little bit. I
- 9:39Speaker 7: think when it is off the rush and obviously in
- 9:42Speaker 7: zones different, but when he has the puck, I just
- 9:45Speaker 7: try to let him go.
- 9:46Speaker 2: You know.
- 9:47Speaker 6: It's really interesting to hear him talk about that because
- 9:50Speaker 6: it's one of the things that we were talking about
- 9:51Speaker 6: last year. So the as make all these moves of
- 9:54Speaker 6: the deadline, and.
- 9:58Speaker 2: You're I don't know.
- 9:59Speaker 6: If people expect this, like even I'm guilty of it,
- 10:01Speaker 6: Like you just expect this immediate bump, like, hey, you
- 10:04Speaker 6: acquire all this, you acquired all this talent, Well, now
- 10:07Speaker 6: you're just gonna blow up. And it does take time.
- 10:10Speaker 6: It's hard when you get somebody and within like what
- 10:13Speaker 6: motion for some of those guys with brock Nelson, what
- 10:15Speaker 6: was it like a month before the playoffs started? Like,
- 10:18Speaker 6: that's a really quick turnaround to try and find your place,
- 10:21Speaker 6: your role on a team, fit with the guys you're
- 10:23Speaker 6: playing with, and have it be as high level as
- 10:26Speaker 6: you want it to be. Now that they've had a
- 10:28Speaker 6: foot offseason. I think you see Martin his you see
- 10:32Speaker 6: Rock Nelson's year that he's having right now. You're seeing
- 10:35Speaker 6: the fruits of that sort of bear h with with
- 10:39Speaker 6: an offseason worth of work, and you can trade for.
- 10:42Speaker 2: A high end wide out vic But until he in
- 10:46Speaker 2: that quarterback get that kind of thing going, it takes
- 10:48Speaker 2: a little while, you know, for them to find each
- 10:50Speaker 2: other and you're in a new offense and so on.
- 10:52Speaker 2: And for hockey players with new linemates, you know you're
- 10:56Speaker 2: you're leaving guys that you've played with. In Nelson's case,
- 10:59Speaker 2: I mean you're leaving it he played with for a decade.
- 11:01Speaker 2: You know, guys you played with for for almost that
- 11:04Speaker 2: long and now you're coming into a totally new situation.
- 11:07Speaker 2: And from for Marty Natius, the same kind of story.
- 11:09Speaker 2: But when you get it, it's really good.
- 11:12Speaker 3: What did you think of the power play last night?
- 11:16Speaker 2: I thought the third one was bad. First one scored
- 11:19Speaker 2: five seconds in, so that was good. I thought the
- 11:22Speaker 2: second I thought the second one looked good, didn't score.
- 11:26Speaker 2: I thought the third one was no good. That's my opinion,
- 11:30Speaker 2: especially especially when Austin Matthews gifts wrapped.
- 11:37Speaker 6: Never look at gift horse in the mouth.
- 11:39Speaker 2: Never look at gifts wraps in the mouth, them in
- 11:44Speaker 2: your mouth. I especially when Austin God, dudes, I'm sorry,
- 11:49Speaker 2: especially when Austin Matthews gift wrapped you a power play
- 11:54Speaker 2: with two and a half minutes left in the game.
- 11:56Speaker 2: You gotta bury those guys. Yeah, you got it, and
- 11:58Speaker 2: then you didn't. Thank you, Ellie. And then you had
- 12:03Speaker 2: a chance to you had a chance to win an
- 12:04Speaker 2: ot and you went for it and it didn't work out.
- 12:08Speaker 2: I'm not I'm not been out of shape about it.
- 12:11Speaker 2: Dallas won last night, right, Yes, I believe so last
- 12:15Speaker 2: time I saw it was one. You know what, I
- 12:17Speaker 2: I started to feel so crappy. I didn't even look.
- 12:19Speaker 2: Minnesota lost five to two.
- 12:20Speaker 3: I do know that that made me happy.
- 12:22Speaker 2: But but about yes, want crap, big deal.
- 12:28Speaker 6: I mean what you mean, crapotill and they have a
- 12:31Speaker 6: game in hand on him? You're fine?
- 12:33Speaker 2: Well, why you know what? Here's okay on on it?
- 12:38Speaker 2: On a day when I'm not feeling so hot. You're
- 12:41Speaker 2: gonna have to allow me a little, a little grace
- 12:43Speaker 2: period here, Brett, and let my sports hate just flow.
- 12:46Speaker 2: If I want to hate on the friggin Dallas frigging
- 12:49Speaker 2: frigging Stars, let me frigging hating the frigging Dallas frigging Stars.
- 12:52Speaker 6: Does your shirt say death before the end of the show?
- 12:55Speaker 3: Is that what you're I think it says I look
- 12:59Speaker 3: like death right now?
- 13:01Speaker 5: Uh?
- 13:02Speaker 3: From the text line, listen to the radio.
- 13:04Speaker 5: You might might not realize how sharp Mosure really is,
- 13:06Speaker 5: but when you watch his play by play and how
- 13:09Speaker 5: smoothly he bounces between calling the game and interviewing guests,
- 13:11Speaker 5: it's clear the guy's insanely talented. I've said this all along.
- 13:16Speaker 5: When you're calling the game, you are insanely talented. When
- 13:19Speaker 5: you do the show with us.
- 13:22Speaker 6: Rough, fake Mosure is a professional who's on it, real Mosure?
- 13:28Speaker 2: Yeah?
- 13:29Speaker 4: Is this?
- 13:33Speaker 2: I know, dude, I don't know what I mean. I
- 13:35Speaker 2: started to feel sick last night in the third period,
- 13:37Speaker 2: and then I came home.
- 13:39Speaker 3: Did you drink from spinning?
- 13:42Speaker 8: No?
- 13:44Speaker 2: But it's all up here. It's all in the upper
- 13:46Speaker 2: respiratory and when I lay down, it felt like somebody's
- 13:50Speaker 2: stabbing me with a like a needle right in here,
- 13:52Speaker 2: you know, and then you have to cough in on
- 13:54Speaker 2: that fluid comes. It's just well, the worst, whatever it is.
- 13:58Speaker 2: I blame everybody else for getting sick and then touching
- 14:01Speaker 2: the doorknob. Don't anybody touch any doorknobs today. Stop it.
- 14:05Speaker 5: The single void. And by the way, the Nuggets are
- 14:09Speaker 5: still sick. I'll give you the latest report on the
- 14:12Speaker 5: Nuggets when we come.
- 14:14Speaker 3: I'll tell you. I'll tell you you're in a bed.
- 14:16Speaker 5: The worst place to avoid any illness is our job,
- 14:21Speaker 5: because think about it. You're in a room with three
- 14:24Speaker 5: or four microphones, and every day people basically spit their
- 14:28Speaker 5: lives into those microphones, like their whole mouths are eating
- 14:32Speaker 5: those microphones. And you share those things, those little peatrie dishes,
- 14:36Speaker 5: you share them with other people.
- 14:39Speaker 3: I mean, are you kidding me? You get sick in
- 14:43Speaker 3: a heartbeat.
- 14:45Speaker 6: By the way, we have a nice little side by
- 14:48Speaker 6: side a compilation uh Moser's professionalism at its finest.

- 17:34Speaker 2: Wow, what a move. So his.
- 17:41Speaker 5: Foray into greatness, I'll call it. Because you become a
- 17:45Speaker 5: Western Conference Player of the week, that means you're playing
- 17:47Speaker 5: some damn good basketball, not just you know here and there,
- 17:50Speaker 5: you're playing consistent basketball for at least a week. He
- 17:53Speaker 5: started this progression. It was six weeks ago when they
- 17:56Speaker 5: last visited New Orleans. He played for Aaron Gordon that night.
- 18:00Speaker 5: Aaron Gordon sat that game out. And remember that was
- 18:02Speaker 5: the game in which Peyton Watson had a quer high
- 18:04Speaker 5: thirty one points, had six threes.
- 18:06Speaker 3: He really played well.
- 18:08Speaker 5: So at that point you're like, whoa, we got something
- 18:10Speaker 5: going here. And since then he's developed a little more
- 18:12Speaker 5: to his game. His mid range game has been really nice.
- 18:16Speaker 5: So congratulations to Peyton Watson. We'll see if they can
- 18:19Speaker 5: pull it off again here in New Orleans tonight.
- 18:20Speaker 2: Quick thing, you know what's interesting, real quick, Breton, what's
- 18:24Speaker 2: interesting about Peyton Watson? I apologize. You know, when he
- 18:27Speaker 2: first came in and got playing time, we were like, oh,
- 18:32Speaker 2: look look at the way. He's able to defend and
- 18:36Speaker 2: he can block shots, and you a dude, his offensive
- 18:40Speaker 2: game is really George like a beautiful little flower. So
- 18:46Speaker 2: like this.
- 18:47Speaker 6: Here's a fun little fact about this, and then we'll
- 18:49Speaker 6: get to football. Nuggets player of the Week award winners
- 18:52Speaker 6: is from Harrison wind in the jokich era. Jokic has
- 18:55Speaker 6: done it eighteen times.
- 18:57Speaker 3: That's pretty good.
- 18:59Speaker 6: Peyton Watson has a player of the Week award. Now,
- 19:03Speaker 6: who else?
- 19:05Speaker 3: Jamal Murray? Jamal Murray?
- 19:06Speaker 2: How many Jamal Murray?
- 19:08Speaker 3: I'll say Jamal Murray two or three times?
- 19:12Speaker 6: Also once Peyton Martson now tied with him. There's one
- 19:15Speaker 6: other player that had one player of the week honor
- 19:17Speaker 6: in the jokaj era.
- 19:19Speaker 3: Aaron Gordon Nope, okay, let me take this through.
- 19:22Speaker 2: Hold on you Shoot Hardaway Jr.
- 19:24Speaker 3: Nope. Michael Porter Jr.
- 19:26Speaker 5: Nope, Okay, he's gone. You talk about talking about current Nuggets.
- 19:33Speaker 5: Jeremy Grant, No, okay, Carmel shut up.
- 19:37Speaker 6: Paul Paul millsap is the only other one. Yes, So
- 19:43Speaker 6: we'll get to the Nuggets in a bit. Last night,
- 19:45Speaker 6: the result of the Texans and Steelers game was not
- 19:48Speaker 6: a surprise on who won. We all thought the Texans
- 19:51Speaker 6: would win. The game was a little weird because it's
- 19:55Speaker 6: thirty to six and it was closer than that because
- 19:57Speaker 6: Houston didn't play great offensively, but the two defensive touchdowns,
- 20:01Speaker 6: including the one that sealed it at the end, I
- 20:03Speaker 6: swear to god, it felt like Aaron Rodgers threw that
- 20:06Speaker 6: ball and right before he goes, I'm retiring. Here, here's
- 20:12Speaker 6: the interesting thing. Mike Tomlin has a future that's very
- 20:18Speaker 6: much up in the air in Pittsburgh, as does well,
- 20:22Speaker 6: as did John Harbaugh before their final game, as does
- 20:26Speaker 6: Matt Lafleur in Green Bay. All three of them are coaches.
- 20:29Speaker 6: If they were fired, they could find a job tomorrow,
- 20:32Speaker 6: especially with a quarter of the league looking for head coaches.
- 20:38Speaker 6: But it kind of feels like time with all of them,
- 20:41Speaker 6: and I don't know what that means.
- 20:43Speaker 2: Now.
- 20:43Speaker 6: Aaron Rodgers has an answer to this, and Nellie, let
- 20:45Speaker 6: me know if you had this ready. Aaron Rodgers was
- 20:49Speaker 6: talking about this in the post game, about Mike Tomlin
- 20:51Speaker 6: and Matt Lafleur, two coaches he played under, and he
- 20:53Speaker 6: thought it was ridiculous the idea that these guys could
- 20:55Speaker 6: lose their jobs. Let me tell let me tell you something. Oh,
- 20:58Speaker 6: go ahead, let's hear this first.
- 20:59Speaker 8: When you hear com sation about the the Mike Tomlins
- 21:02Speaker 8: of the world, Matt Lafleor's of the world, those just
- 21:07Speaker 8: two that kind of have played for and when I
- 21:10Speaker 8: first got in the league, they wouldn't be a conversation
- 21:12Speaker 8: about whether those guys were on the hot seat, you know.
- 21:16Speaker 8: But the way that the league has covered now and
- 21:18Speaker 8: the way that there's snap decisions and validitally given to
- 21:22Speaker 8: the you know, the Twitter experts and all the you
- 21:26Speaker 8: know experts on TV now who who you make, it
- 21:30Speaker 8: seem like they know what the hell they're talking about.
- 21:33Speaker 8: To me, that's an absolute joke. And for either of
- 21:35Speaker 8: those two guys to be on the hot seat is
- 21:40Speaker 8: is really an apropos of where we're at at the
- 21:42Speaker 8: society and the league.
- 21:43Speaker 6: You hold your head up, all right, Listen, he said,
- 21:48Speaker 6: when I first got in the league, you would never
- 21:50Speaker 6: be on the hot seat. News flash, Aaron, He's been
- 21:52Speaker 6: there the entire time you've been in the league and
- 21:55Speaker 6: never been on the hot seat until like now, Why
- 21:59Speaker 6: he's lost evan straight playoff games?
- 22:03Speaker 2: Hey man, did you hear.
- 22:04Speaker 3: That's the first Monday night game. Pittsburgh's lost in the eighties.
- 22:08Speaker 2: Yees, since the old Soviet Union was still around.
- 22:11Speaker 7: How is that?
- 22:12Speaker 3: That's unreal to me?
- 22:15Speaker 2: Because those guys win and they don't. They don't. I mean,
- 22:18Speaker 2: they each won the Big One, but they win. Mike
- 22:21Speaker 2: Tomlins never had a losing season. John Harbaugh had better
- 22:27Speaker 2: jump at a job right now if he wants it,
- 22:32Speaker 2: because if Mike Tomlin becomes available today or tomorrow, all
- 22:39Speaker 2: of a sudden, it's that meme where the dude's walking
- 22:44Speaker 2: with the chicken then looks at the chicken. Then that
- 22:47Speaker 2: kind of thing. Remember that meme thing, Brett, you know
- 22:50Speaker 2: what I'm talking about. Yeah, that, because teams would be
- 22:54Speaker 2: like they're they're like they're walking with Harbaugh hand in handy,
- 22:57Speaker 2: They're like, ooh, tom was Tomlin?
- 23:00Speaker 6: Let me let me ask your most hang on what
- 23:03Speaker 6: you said something earlier?
- 23:04Speaker 2: I'm not okay, let's establish another thing. I am so
- 23:08Speaker 2: frigging not in the mood for you to tell me
- 23:09Speaker 2: to hang on right now.
- 23:10Speaker 5: No, but you better hang on because your face is
- 23:12Speaker 5: all messed up and so is your voice and your
- 23:14Speaker 5: intellunch So I don't know what I just said.
- 23:16Speaker 6: That say into lunch y, Aaron Rodgers. This is why
- 23:20Speaker 6: I wanted him to hold hang on, he said, Monk Commlins.
- 23:23Speaker 6: Never had a losing season, which is incredibly impressive. He's
- 23:26Speaker 6: been there since two thousand and seven, never had a
- 23:28Speaker 6: season below five hundred. Did you know that his career
- 23:33Speaker 6: playoff record is eight and twelve. Five of those wins
- 23:37Speaker 6: came in the first four years that he's coached.
- 23:43Speaker 3: Has been three.
- 23:44Speaker 6: Playoffs since.
- 23:47Speaker 2: He had Big Ben and Big Ben in his prime,
- 23:50Speaker 2: and then when you lose a big Ben in your prime.
- 23:53Speaker 6: But here's what I'm asking a lot. This is why
- 23:55Speaker 6: I wanted to bring this up. Let me give you
- 23:56Speaker 6: an example. Let's say that on Saturday at two, when
- 24:00Speaker 6: the Broncos play against the Buffalo Bills. Let's say they
- 24:03Speaker 6: lose again. Okay, so it's another one and done in
- 24:07Speaker 6: the postseason. The next year, the Broncos make the playoffs
- 24:11Speaker 6: and they lose their first game. Do you think by
- 24:14Speaker 6: the fourth year or the year following that, I guess
- 24:17Speaker 6: Sean Payton's fifth year, if they make the playoffs and
- 24:19Speaker 6: they don't win again, is there a question surrounding Sean
- 24:22Speaker 6: Payton and his job security?
- 24:23Speaker 2: Well? Sure, sure.
- 24:25Speaker 5: The bigger question is when did Aaron Rodgers become a walking, talking,
- 24:31Speaker 5: firing squad for coaches. I mean, look at his path
- 24:34Speaker 5: that he's forged, where he's gone, and what's happened to
- 24:36Speaker 5: those franchises. Just take a look at what's going on
- 24:39Speaker 5: right here.
- 24:40Speaker 6: To be fair, I mean, he's been gone from the
- 24:43Speaker 6: floor for a while. But McCarthy, yes, last.
- 24:47Speaker 3: Night it was the weirdest thing.
- 24:48Speaker 5: And tell me, part of me felt sorry for him
- 24:51Speaker 5: watching Rogers move around the pocket so slowly and so elderly,
- 24:55Speaker 5: like there are a couple occasions and I know he's old,
- 24:58Speaker 5: I get it, but I'm I mean, when you see
- 25:00Speaker 5: it drop off, you always think, Okay, this guy's not
- 25:03Speaker 5: the same. Like Russell Wilson was not the same when
- 25:05Speaker 5: he was in Denver. He could still move around a
- 25:07Speaker 5: little bit. Watching Aaron Rodgers sort of trudge around and
- 25:11Speaker 5: then you know, he gets down on the ground and
- 25:13Speaker 5: he hits that I've fallen.
- 25:14Speaker 3: I can't get up button and it just looks so awkward.
- 25:18Speaker 3: It reminded me.
- 25:19Speaker 5: I played basketball with my brother a couple of weeks ago,
- 25:21Speaker 5: and he's up there like me, and he's trying to
- 25:24Speaker 5: drive and he'd like Genu reflected three times before falling
- 25:27Speaker 5: straight on his stomach, and I said, yeah, yeah, it's over.
- 25:30Speaker 3: That's what it looked like for Aaron Rodgers last night.
- 25:32Speaker 9: Just my goodness, man's only Yeah, I know, I know,
- 25:38Speaker 9: but it was so abundantly clear watching the game last night,
- 25:43Speaker 9: he just can't do it.
- 25:44Speaker 5: And part of me, the yeah, the mortality in me, says, God,
- 25:48Speaker 5: just take him out. You know, was there any part
- 25:51Speaker 5: of you you may hate you you hate Aaron Rodgers,
- 25:53Speaker 5: you always have because you're a Detroit fan any party.
- 25:56Speaker 5: You feel sorry for him.
- 25:57Speaker 6: That's not the only reason I hate him, But yeah,
- 26:00Speaker 6: felt sorry for Aaron Rodgers. Nope, that is not in
- 26:02Speaker 6: my DNA at all. Yeah, not allowed. I mean you
- 26:08Speaker 6: watched him get demolished for that sack fumble, and I
- 26:10Speaker 6: went motion.
- 26:12Speaker 5: You can relate because you could see when a guy's
- 26:15Speaker 5: completely lost every sense of coordination, right, I mean, as
- 26:19Speaker 5: a guy who's experienced that, you could see that watching
- 26:22Speaker 5: Aaron Rodgers, somebody who no athletic jeans, left, no coordination, left,
- 26:27Speaker 5: no sense of direction, nothing. You sensed that watching him
- 26:30Speaker 5: last night, right, because you've been there.
- 26:32Speaker 2: Yeah, you know what I was thinking to myself, he
- 26:34Speaker 2: might as well. Just do the ultimate Mosure plan and
- 26:38Speaker 2: the ultimate Mosure plan. The way I want to go
- 26:40Speaker 2: out is on that desert island, just like Tom Hanks
- 26:45Speaker 2: and Castaway. Just find the sharpest clamshell.
- 26:49Speaker 8: You can.
- 26:53Speaker 3: You walk.
- 26:53Speaker 2: No, Aaron Rodgers should just lick a frog and walk
- 26:56Speaker 2: into the shallows. Let the sharks come and be it
- 27:00Speaker 2: one with nature. Yeah, I agree with you, Vic, Just
- 27:03Speaker 2: give it up, give up the ghost.
- 27:04Speaker 3: You know what's what's cruely ironic?
- 27:06Speaker 2: Do you think they have any Do you think they
- 27:08Speaker 2: have any? God? I almost tried to say that word
- 27:11Speaker 2: this morning. How loocinogenic frogs on a desert island or
- 27:15Speaker 2: is that strictly a mainland thing.
- 27:18Speaker 3: I'm sure they exist, but he's still more athletic than
- 27:23Speaker 3: you know, eight ninety percent of the population. But to
- 27:26Speaker 3: play that greation and to play it against that defense
- 27:29Speaker 3: last night, oh my gosh, that Houston defense mince balls.
- 27:35Speaker 5: Whenever Pittsburgh got the ball, it felt like, I mean,
- 27:39Speaker 5: you're in for a root canal.
- 27:41Speaker 3: That was just nothing available.
- 27:43Speaker 2: It was let's not mince words, let's not do it.
- 27:47Speaker 2: When you look at the Broncos defense and I think
- 27:49Speaker 2: it's really good, but I'm curious to see this weekend
- 27:55Speaker 2: where it is in comparison to what is still locked
- 27:58Speaker 2: in my brain, because coming down the stretch, they got
- 28:02Speaker 2: exposed a little bit here, a little bit there, gave
- 28:04Speaker 2: up a little bit more points than they typically would
- 28:06Speaker 2: like about a touchdown per game more. I'm telling you
- 28:10Speaker 2: right now, as good as I think that Broncos defense is,
- 28:14Speaker 2: and I think it's really really good, Houston is just
- 28:19Speaker 2: as good, and Seattle is just as good. Yeah, I
- 28:23Speaker 2: mean those those defenses, dudes are bad. Mamma jamas bad,
- 28:29Speaker 2: Jamama mama's they are studs. Studs.
- 28:34Speaker 6: By the way, there was something I noticed from the
- 28:35Speaker 6: game last night. And maybe this is just me being
- 28:38Speaker 6: a weirdo, and nobody else has thought this. Aaron Rodgers
- 28:44Speaker 6: is wearing his wedding ring during games.
- 28:47Speaker 3: It's one of those little rubber ones.
- 28:49Speaker 6: No, no, no, that's no, that's fine, that's not the issue.
- 28:53Speaker 6: Does his wife go to another school? Is anybody is
- 28:56Speaker 6: anything confirmed that he has a wife?
- 29:00Speaker 4: Who is she?
- 29:02Speaker 6: Has anybody thought of that? By the way, he's a
- 29:04Speaker 6: very very famous person who got married seemingly over the
- 29:09Speaker 6: course of an off season, and nobody's ever seen this
- 29:12Speaker 6: woman before I.
- 29:17Speaker 2: Yeah, you know I when you said that he's wearing
- 29:20Speaker 2: a wedding ring, I'm like, I didn't know he was married. Yeah,
- 29:23Speaker 2: I thought he was still with that what's her face?
- 29:25Speaker 3: The Uh, well, that's why I thought.
- 29:29Speaker 2: Or whatever?
- 29:31Speaker 3: Sheeley Anne Woodley.
- 29:32Speaker 6: I thought that's who he was married to. It's not her.
- 29:35Speaker 6: Nobody knows who it is. I'm just saying, can anybody
- 29:39Speaker 6: confirm this woman exists? Or does she go to another
- 29:43Speaker 6: school what we.
- 29:45Speaker 2: Call mantau.
- 29:47Speaker 3: Another school? I'm confused by other schools.
- 29:50Speaker 6: It's an old thing used to like when you were
- 29:52Speaker 6: in middle But she goes her school.
- 29:55Speaker 3: You wouldn't. That's why you haven't met her yet. Yeah,
- 29:57Speaker 3: she just goes to a different school. Did I just
- 30:01Speaker 3: miss on that generation of Yeah?
- 30:04Speaker 8: Let me?
- 30:04Speaker 3: How does that explain.
- 30:07Speaker 2: Percent of people?
- 30:08Speaker 6: When I said that, knew exactly what I was referencing.
- 30:10Speaker 2: Vic. Do you remember when jan Brady had a fake
- 30:12Speaker 2: boyfriend named George and she'd have the phone call and
- 30:16Speaker 2: she's like, hi George, and the family thinks really.
- 30:21Speaker 3: Remember that episode?
- 30:22Speaker 4: Yeah?
- 30:22Speaker 2: So so so Brett is this is sort of assuming
- 30:27Speaker 2: that maybe that's what's going on with age.
- 30:29Speaker 3: Are we talking about, like.
- 30:31Speaker 6: No, that's different.
- 30:33Speaker 2: He is he is.
- 30:35Speaker 6: Here's my conspiracy that he has a fake wife, that
- 30:40Speaker 6: he just wants people to think he's married. That's what
- 30:43Speaker 6: I'm saying.
- 30:44Speaker 2: He's the kind of guy that would try to probably
- 30:46Speaker 2: play that sort of mental I want and yeah, finds
- 30:53Speaker 2: out who is she.
- 30:55Speaker 5: I need to talk about that game though, in this respect,
- 30:57Speaker 5: you know, watching Houston's defense completely overwhelmed Pittsburgh, and I'm thinking,
- 31:02Speaker 5: can Denver's defense do the same. One big difference Denver's
- 31:05Speaker 5: defense is going to face Josh Allen, who's a lot
- 31:08Speaker 5: more nimble, even as hurt as he is, than Aaron Rodgers.
- 31:11Speaker 5: So Josh Allen can make chicken wae out of you know,
- 31:15Speaker 5: he's done that. He can make chicken salad out of
- 31:17Speaker 5: a chicken chicken scratch. Aaron Rodgers was not capable of
- 31:21Speaker 5: doing that.
- 31:22Speaker 3: Last night.
- 31:22Speaker 5: They could not generate a run game whatsoever. They tried
- 31:24Speaker 5: to run Jalen Warren, he had nowhere to go. Houston
- 31:27Speaker 5: just suffocated everything. The game was thirty to six. Most
- 31:30Speaker 5: I know you were calling your own game. I'm gonna
- 31:31Speaker 5: tell you something right now.
- 31:33Speaker 3: This game was over.
- 31:34Speaker 5: On the first two series, the problem was CJ. Stroud
- 31:37Speaker 5: played so poorly in the first half. I mean he
- 31:40Speaker 5: just kept giving the ball back to him. I dot,
- 31:42Speaker 5: did you see how bad CJ. Stroud was in the
- 31:45Speaker 5: first half of that game? I mean that the Houston
- 31:48Speaker 5: defense kept taking the ball away, they kept holding and CJ.
- 31:52Speaker 5: Stroud was just here here, I'll give you another chance.
- 31:55Speaker 5: So the only reason it was close for three quarters
- 31:57Speaker 5: is because of CJ.
- 31:58Speaker 3: Stroud. As soon as he figured himself out, then it
- 32:01Speaker 3: was over.
- 32:03Speaker 6: God, it would have been nice to play against Pittsburgh.
- 32:06Speaker 5: Well, let me ask you this, So New England gets Houston,
- 32:11Speaker 5: the Broncos get Buffalo. Even I will acknowledge as much
- 32:14Speaker 5: as I'm not. Yeah, you guys are so afraid of
- 32:16Speaker 5: Buffalo a bunch of brittle haired pansies.
- 32:21Speaker 3: Is that the term I used yesterday? You guys are
- 32:25Speaker 3: so free?
- 32:25Speaker 2: No, damn you know? Hold on, you know damn well
- 32:28Speaker 2: you did.
- 32:30Speaker 3: I couldn't remember it was if that was the exact
- 32:32Speaker 3: term I used.
- 32:33Speaker 2: You don't need to seek validation from Brett and his
- 32:35Speaker 2: red face. You're damn well you did you know it?
- 32:39Speaker 3: Okay?
- 32:40Speaker 5: I even I as much as I acknowledge that, even
- 32:43Speaker 5: I understand that Buffalo poses a bigger threat than Houston.
- 32:46Speaker 3: They just do because of the quarterback. Because I saw CJ.
- 32:49Speaker 3: Stroud last night try to give that game away for
- 32:52Speaker 3: three quarters.
- 32:53Speaker 2: Interesting, your you're your one thousand Vica is one thousand
- 32:57Speaker 2: percent correct?
- 32:59Speaker 8: Is he?
- 33:00Speaker 2: Yeah?
- 33:01Speaker 6: Because there's an argument to be made that the opposite
- 33:03Speaker 6: should be true, and we'll get to it next. I'm
- 33:05Speaker 6: not even saying that you guys are wrong because I
- 33:09Speaker 6: agree with you, but just a challenge of perspective on
- 33:12Speaker 6: this good job motion. I think we will kind of
- 33:17Speaker 6: agree on something. The Broncos and let's say the Texans
- 33:23Speaker 6: are a better football team than what the Buffalo Bills are.
- 33:27Speaker 6: They're better, Like the Broncos are a better team than Buffalo.
- 33:33Speaker 6: Buffalo has the far better quarterback, just like if they
- 33:36Speaker 6: played against Houston, Buffalo would have the far better quarterback.
- 33:41Speaker 6: Just challenging the way that we think about football right
- 33:44Speaker 6: now is that the thing that matters most is that
- 33:48Speaker 6: the thing that is in the forefront is that still
- 33:50Speaker 6: the dominant conversation is, well, if this team has the
- 33:53Speaker 6: better quarterback, then this team is more likely to win.
- 33:55Speaker 3: Brett, Well, take a look at everything.
- 33:58Speaker 5: I mean, look at every match up left, hold on
- 34:01Speaker 5: look at every matchup left and tell me where you're
- 34:05Speaker 5: you're going to side? Tell me are you gonna side
- 34:08Speaker 5: with Stafford or Caleb Williams.
- 34:10Speaker 6: Well, I think the Rams are a better team than
- 34:12Speaker 6: the Bears too, But I'm.
- 34:13Speaker 3: Just talking about quarterbacks. Which which way are you gonna side?
- 34:18Speaker 6: That's just why is Moser keep saying Brett to me?
- 34:21Speaker 3: I don't know, dude, go ahead, go ahead.
- 34:23Speaker 2: What when have you ever gone into a postseason football
- 34:27Speaker 2: game and the first thing you do, the first box
- 34:32Speaker 2: you check, is who has the better quarterback? When was
- 34:35Speaker 2: the last time you didn't do that?
- 34:38Speaker 6: It's probably been a while.
- 34:39Speaker 2: Yeah. Yeah, So then listen, Britt, You're not You're not
- 34:43Speaker 2: as dumb as you look.
- 34:44Speaker 3: Okay, just all the time?
- 34:47Speaker 6: Okay, hang on, how about this motion? Last year in
- 34:49Speaker 6: the wild card round, the Texans played the Chargers. Who
- 34:52Speaker 6: has the better quarterback?
- 34:55Speaker 2: Justin Herbert. I'm not saying they lost twenty I know,
- 34:58Speaker 2: I'm not saying.
- 34:59Speaker 3: The the results don't always happen.
- 35:01Speaker 5: The expectation happens, and the expectation is the better quarterback.
- 35:05Speaker 2: The first thing that you look at, the first thing
- 35:08Speaker 2: that everybody looks at, including Rex, Ryan and everybody else.
- 35:12Speaker 2: Dani Rolofski's which team has the better quarterback? And you
- 35:15Speaker 2: work all three there?
- 35:16Speaker 5: I agree, hey man, Listen, John Elway was a better
- 35:19Speaker 5: quarterback and a ton of playoff batchups.
- 35:21Speaker 3: He was the better quarterback at sam Right.
- 35:22Speaker 5: He was better than Phil Simms, he was better than
- 35:24Speaker 5: Doug Williams, but he lost those games. Going into those
- 35:28Speaker 5: games though, having him is what gave you the chance.
- 35:31Speaker 5: And going into this Buffalo game, I'm sure the Buffalo
- 35:34Speaker 5: Bills are saying we got Josh Allen.
- 35:35Speaker 3: They don't.
- 35:36Speaker 5: Here's the deal though, and I looked up the Bills
- 35:39Speaker 5: versus the Houston Texans who played earlier this season. Josh
- 35:43Speaker 5: Allen was sacked in that game and Buffalo lost to
- 35:46Speaker 5: Houston at Houston twenty three to nineteen. Buffalo couldn't get
- 35:52Speaker 5: anything going because Josh Allen had two interceptions and was
- 35:57Speaker 5: sacked eight times. Houston just smothered him. Yeah, Davis Mills
- 36:02Speaker 5: won that game for Houston. Davis Mills beat the Bills
- 36:06Speaker 5: that day in Houston, but Davison.
- 36:08Speaker 2: Bills couldn't but he couldn't and the Broncos knocked CJ.
- 36:12Speaker 2: Straud out. If you recalled, do you recall that Brett
- 36:14Speaker 2: Yes knocked him out out. If he stays in the game,
- 36:17Speaker 2: is it a different story. I don't know. He seems
- 36:19Speaker 2: to be like one of the He seems to be
- 36:21Speaker 2: a little bit like Bonnick's second half quarterback where he
- 36:23Speaker 2: kicks a major butt, but don't I don't know. I
- 36:27Speaker 2: need more of an example, I guess. But you know
- 36:31Speaker 2: it's that defense is no joke and that defense either way, though,
- 36:37Speaker 2: I think I'm so impressed with Drake May it's hard
- 36:40Speaker 2: to even understand how impressed. You know, I didn't realize
- 36:42Speaker 2: he threw for almost forty four hundred yards this year,
- 36:44Speaker 2: which is remarkable. I mean, he's really good. But he's
- 36:48Speaker 2: gonna have his hands full of that Houston defense, just
- 36:50Speaker 2: like Allen will with the Broncos defense.
- 36:51Speaker 6: But this is why I'm asking the question, because this
- 36:53Speaker 6: year has proven more than really any in recent memory,
- 36:57Speaker 6: that the better teams are having success and the better quarterback,
- 37:01Speaker 6: the best quarterbacks in the league are sitting at home
- 37:03Speaker 6: and have been since playoffs started. It's been the Seattles
- 37:07Speaker 6: and the Houstons and the Denvers and teams like that
- 37:10Speaker 6: that overall are the best teams in the NFL. That
- 37:13Speaker 6: have been the ones that are thriving.
- 37:15Speaker 5: Well, everything you're saying is everything I said yesterday. Why
- 37:17Speaker 5: I said there's no reason why the Denver Broncos can't
- 37:20Speaker 5: win this game. I mean, you guys are all scared yesterday.
- 37:22Speaker 5: I think that the Broncos, team wise, and the fact
- 37:25Speaker 5: that they're at home gives them more advantages than the
- 37:27Speaker 5: Buffalo Bills have.
- 37:28Speaker 3: I understand the advantage of the Josh Allen, I get it.
- 37:31Speaker 3: Get to them.
- 37:31Speaker 5: You know, the one thing that scares me most about
- 37:34Speaker 5: the Bills is the desperation with which they'll play because
- 37:36Speaker 5: they've been knocking on the door for so many years,
- 37:38Speaker 5: right and they're sick of knocking and sick of being
- 37:41Speaker 5: humbled and sick of going home. So when you get
- 37:43Speaker 5: hit that many times over the head, what tends to
- 37:45Speaker 5: happen is you start saying, screw it, let's go for it.
- 37:48Speaker 3: Fourth down. We're at our own thirty five, let's go
- 37:50Speaker 3: for it. I guarantee you this.
- 37:52Speaker 5: On Saturday, they will play with almost recklessness at times.
- 37:56Speaker 5: They will go forward on fourth down when you least
- 37:59Speaker 5: expect it, and the Broncos better be ready for it,
- 38:02Speaker 5: because they are going to be opened up to win
- 38:04Speaker 5: that game.
- 38:04Speaker 2: Fourth and four, Well the push, Yeah, they also go
- 38:08Speaker 2: forward on fourth and giant. I mean everybody knows that
- 38:11Speaker 2: that's the case. Listen, what what did you say? What
- 38:14Speaker 2: Vic said fourth and giant?
- 38:17Speaker 3: Is that what I said?
- 38:18Speaker 2: Yeah?
- 38:20Speaker 6: You guys know what Sanford said yesterday. What do you say,
- 38:24Speaker 6: the player with the most or the person with the
- 38:27Speaker 6: most pressure on them heading into this weekend is not
- 38:29Speaker 6: Josh Allen. Yeah no, no, he said, he said, it's not.
- 38:34Speaker 5: See if I could think of this of all the
- 38:36Speaker 5: teams left in the National Football League, No, no, no,
- 38:39Speaker 5: of all in in the Broncos and Bills game, the
- 38:42Speaker 5: person with the most pressure on them is not Josh Allen.
- 38:46Speaker 6: It is Shawn okay McDermott.
- 38:51Speaker 2: Ah Oh okay, yeah, I thought you said the player.
- 38:54Speaker 6: You change it, change it the person.
- 38:57Speaker 2: Okay, Well you know what you're just You're just ruining
- 39:00Speaker 2: the whole morning, man, I'm ruining the whole morning ruin.
- 39:06Speaker 2: Let me go back and use your.
- 39:09Speaker 3: I mean, coaches always.
- 39:12Speaker 2: I want to use Brett's lodging against him though, real quick.
- 39:16Speaker 2: Who's gonna win the m v P this year? Either Stafford,
- 39:20Speaker 2: Stafford or May. Okay, well, those two guys are still in.
- 39:24Speaker 2: Who's the reigning m v P.
- 39:28Speaker 6: Josh Allen?
- 39:29Speaker 2: That guy still in?
- 39:31Speaker 6: And you look at it, the MVP is also Okay,
- 39:34Speaker 6: a Quarterback Team Award? Okay, fine, great.
- 39:37Speaker 2: Here comes the next question, and I think you know
- 39:39Speaker 2: the answer. So which team? When you look at it,
- 39:43Speaker 2: you're going, Man, I can't believe they're in the divisional
- 39:45Speaker 2: round really because they don't do anything really great, but
- 39:49Speaker 2: they just play well as a team. Who's that They're
- 39:54Speaker 2: not great at any one thing, not great, nothing something
- 39:57Speaker 2: about either side of the There you go see now, Oh,
- 40:01Speaker 2: I'm pulling to Vick Lombardi. That being said, you're right, Brett,
- 40:04Speaker 2: it's Chicago. But is there any doubt that Matt Stafford's
- 40:08Speaker 2: going to walk in there and win? I don't know,
- 40:09Speaker 2: jo Stafford was.
- 40:10Speaker 6: Down four with two minutes to go against Carolina.
- 40:13Speaker 2: Yeah, well he won the damn game and the favorite
- 40:16Speaker 2: going into the Soldier.
- 40:18Speaker 6: Look, I just look, if this is your logic, what
- 40:22Speaker 6: you're saying, If this is your logic, then just say
- 40:24Speaker 6: right now you think the Broncos are losing because everything you're.
- 40:28Speaker 2: Saying, I'm not saying that. Why would Tuesday de.
- 40:31Speaker 5: Mosure Mosure is a scaredy cat. He's a brittle haired pansy.
- 40:34Speaker 5: We've established that yesterday. So nobody paid attention to Mosure
- 40:37Speaker 5: when it comes down to this game on Saturday because
- 40:39Speaker 5: he's so scared of Buffalo and Josh Allen. I have
- 40:42Speaker 5: the the plans right in front of me. I have
- 40:44Speaker 5: the it's it's sitting right here the the Buffalo Houston game,
- 40:48Speaker 5: which was played earlier this season with Davis Mills a quarterback.
- 40:51Speaker 5: If you want to beat the Buffalo Bills, that's how
- 40:53Speaker 5: you beat him. I mean, Houston proved and those are
- 40:55Speaker 5: comparable defenses, right, the Houston defense and the Denver defense.
- 40:58Speaker 3: Those are comparable, correct, Yeah, I agree. Here's how you
- 41:01Speaker 3: do it.
- 41:02Speaker 5: I mean, you sack them eight times, that's what Houston did.
- 41:05Speaker 5: You intercept them twice. You know, here's the one thing
- 41:07Speaker 5: that needs to change. This is a Broncos defense that
- 41:10Speaker 5: is low on takeaways. They gotta come up with one
- 41:13Speaker 5: or two.
- 41:14Speaker 3: Yeah, you got to get the ball. Yep, you get
- 41:19Speaker 3: the ball. You in the game, you gotta get the ball.
- 41:21Speaker 5: If I told you that the Denver Broncos played this
- 41:25Speaker 5: game Saturday and do not produce a takeaway, I don't
- 41:28Speaker 5: like their chances.
- 41:29Speaker 3: They gotta produce one, at least one.
- 41:32Speaker 2: Yeah, you get.
- 41:34Speaker 6: I mean, it's the tried and true method, especially in
- 41:37Speaker 6: this era of football, is you get pressure on the
- 41:39Speaker 6: quarterback and you make those guys uncomfortable, you get a
- 41:41Speaker 6: really good shot.
- 41:43Speaker 5: But getting pressure on the quarterback isn't enough. Sometimes you
- 41:46Speaker 5: can get pressure on them, you gotta make them throw
- 41:48Speaker 5: it to your team. You gotta make them fumble it again.
- 41:51Speaker 5: See Jay Stroud single handedly kept Pittsburgh in the game
- 41:55Speaker 5: last night. For anybody who watched it, the guy was
- 41:58Speaker 5: a turnover machine. You couldn't handle them, Paul. He was
- 42:01Speaker 5: throwing it to the other and it's the very reason
- 42:03Speaker 5: why Pittsburgh was in the game in the third quarter.
- 42:06Speaker 5: As soon as he started getting a little more hands on,
- 42:10Speaker 5: the game was over and the Broncos need to get
- 42:13Speaker 5: the ball from Josh Allen.
- 42:14Speaker 3: Yeah, simply. They're very aware.
- 42:16Speaker 2: Yeah, they're very aware that that Josh Allen is banged
- 42:19Speaker 2: up and he's got probably multiple things going on. He's
- 42:23Speaker 2: got a knee, maybe an ankle, certainly a hand. He's
- 42:27Speaker 2: got stuff. It's concussion. Apparently his head is good, by
- 42:30Speaker 2: the way, Josh Allen in that game, he got plowed
- 42:34Speaker 2: early and he was on his back, got plowed in
- 42:38Speaker 2: his helmet, got ripped off. Did you see that? And
- 42:40Speaker 2: he squirmed and I'm like, whoa, that looked It looked weird.
- 42:46Speaker 2: It just looked weird because he just got pancaked. And
- 42:49Speaker 2: so he's probably not one hundred percent. I don't know
- 42:51Speaker 2: how many guys at this point of the season, even
- 42:53Speaker 2: with a weak rest, as one hundred percent. But yeah,
- 42:57Speaker 2: I completely agree with vic. I think he's barking up
- 43:00Speaker 2: the right tree. You just attack Josh Allen. Is the
- 43:04Speaker 2: ball possible?
- 43:05Speaker 8: Now?
- 43:06Speaker 2: Now that and and that being said, man Cook did
- 43:10Speaker 2: not get off last week. Okay, Cook typically Cook typically
- 43:19Speaker 2: typically gets off.
- 43:22Speaker 6: Well, the Jackson number one in the league.
- 43:25Speaker 2: What's that?
- 43:25Speaker 6: The Jacks are the number one run defense in the league.
- 43:28Speaker 2: Yeah, well, the well, the Broncos are really dude. The
- 43:31Speaker 2: Broncos don't allow one hundred yards of game overall, they don't.
- 43:35Speaker 2: But the Bills average about a buck sixty. So you know,
- 43:39Speaker 2: something's got to give here. And my thought process is
- 43:43Speaker 2: they'll probably try to pound the ball early, take advantage
- 43:46Speaker 2: of the Broncos. Maybe the Broncos are blitzing a little bit,
- 43:49Speaker 2: but run the ball early and just soften things up
- 43:52Speaker 2: and then let Josh Allen go to work.
- 43:54Speaker 5: Well, we'll see how healthy Drake Greenlaw is this week.
- 43:56Speaker 5: If he's healthy enough to go, they say he's he's there,
- 44:00Speaker 5: but you never know with the hamstring. So having him
- 44:02Speaker 5: back will certainly help having as many bodies back on
- 44:06Speaker 5: that field.
- 44:07Speaker 9: Uh.
- 44:07Speaker 5: But the mantras should be simple, get the ball, not
- 44:11Speaker 5: get them off the field. Get the ball, Yeah, give
- 44:13Speaker 5: yourself a short field.
- 44:14Speaker 6: Yep, three zero three five four oh nine two five.
- 44:17Speaker 6: The Nuggets are in New Orleans to face the Pelicans tonight,
- 44:20Speaker 6: and you can hear all the action Altitude Sports Radio
