NFL Week 6 Preview: NFC's Other Powerhouses Hope To Win While Eagles Are Down · Inside the Birds: A Philadelphia Eagles Podcast

0:09
Speaker 1: Hello, welcome to the Inside the Birds Week six NFL Preview.
0:13
Speaker 1: I'm Jeff Mosher and We're gonna go around the NFL
0:18
Speaker 1: and I'll preview all the games in Week six, which
0:21
Speaker 1: of course started on Thursday night in a game that
0:24
Speaker 1: I'm not gonna talk too much about. Obviously. We do
0:28
Speaker 1: a lot of Eagles coverage on Inside the Birds, so
0:30
Speaker 1: if you're looking for our analysis, we've got the postgame show,
0:34
Speaker 1: We've got the Checko Daily postgame show, and most Eagles
0:38
Speaker 1: fans already saw it. I'm just gonna say this before
0:41
Speaker 1: we get started, seen a lot of comments, already woke
0:45
Speaker 1: up to a whole lot of commentary on different platforms
0:51
Speaker 1: that you know, the Eagles are now done and that
0:53
Speaker 1: the offensive coordinator's gotta go. Everybody wants Kevin Patulo gone
0:57
Speaker 1: fired and get somebody else in here, folks. It's Week six,
1:04
Speaker 1: the Eagles are four and two, and the bigger point
1:07
Speaker 1: of all of that is that the Eagles are not
1:10
Speaker 1: going to fire a guy six weeks into the season.
1:13
Speaker 1: That doesn't happen to teams that are coming off Super
1:16
Speaker 1: Bowl wins that are four and two, that have one
1:20
Speaker 1: of those two losses to a team that made the
1:22
Speaker 1: playoffs last year? Did the Eagles have issues? Yes? Is
1:28
Speaker 1: the offensive coordinator part of that? Yes? Does the offensive
1:32
Speaker 1: coordinator have to do a good job, a better job?
1:34
Speaker 1: Does he have his fingerprints on what's going on so far? Absolutely?
1:39
Speaker 1: But before you just waste and I get the anger,
1:43
Speaker 1: I get the frustration. I understand that this is the
1:47
Speaker 1: second time that the Eagles have gone to a Super Bowl.
1:50
Speaker 1: Next year had a different coordinator and hasn't looked the
1:53
Speaker 1: same way. But before you go and rattle off something
1:57
Speaker 1: like that's just gonna make you look wrong about the
2:02
Speaker 1: fire this guy. Now, he's got to be replaced. They
2:04
Speaker 1: can't go another game without this. Just think about it.
2:08
Speaker 1: I mean, when's the last time he saw the coordinator
2:12
Speaker 1: six weeks into the season on a winning team get fired.
2:16
Speaker 1: I would have to be much worse than it is
2:20
Speaker 1: right now. And when you advocate for somebody to get fired,
2:25
Speaker 1: the first question I'm gonna ask is who are you promoting?
2:29
Speaker 1: Who are you giving that job to? All right, are
2:33
Speaker 1: you gonna hand that job over to the new quarterback
2:36
Speaker 1: coach who just came over and was the head coach
2:40
Speaker 1: of Bowling Green. Are you comfortable with that? You say
2:42
Speaker 1: goodbye Kevin Tuloh, we're given the job the Scott Leffler.
2:45
Speaker 1: He's been the quarterbacks coach. Guess what, the quarterback is
2:47
Speaker 1: not playing so good. So I don't think you want
2:49
Speaker 1: to give it to the quarterback coach. You want Nick
2:52
Speaker 1: Sirianni to call the place because he called the plates
2:55
Speaker 1: for about five minutes in his first year and realized
2:57
Speaker 1: it wasn't for him. So before where you go out
3:00
Speaker 1: there and try to come up with ridiculous reasons for
3:05
Speaker 1: firing the offensive coordinator when there would be no logical
3:09
Speaker 1: person to come in and call the plays. Think about it.
3:13
Speaker 1: You got to give this thing some time and listen.
3:16
Speaker 1: It may not work out. Maybe Kevin Petulo is not
3:18
Speaker 1: ready for the job. Maybe he's not going to be
3:21
Speaker 1: the guy in the long term. If that's the case,
3:23
Speaker 1: it'll happen in the offseason. But remember also this, you're
3:28
Speaker 1: only as good as the guys that are available. And
3:30
Speaker 1: last year, before last year, when the Eagles decided to
3:34
Speaker 1: clean house after the two thousand and twenty three season
3:38
Speaker 1: with their coordinators, they were fortunate that Kellen Moore was available.
3:45
Speaker 1: Kellen Moore was an experienced play caller. He was somebody
3:49
Speaker 1: who had not only years of play calling experience, but
3:52
Speaker 1: for different teams, different quarterbacks, and he had also produced
3:57
Speaker 1: some number one offenses. So it made a whole lot
3:59
Speaker 1: of sense for the Eagles to be able to hire
4:03
Speaker 1: Kellen Moore at that time. This past offseason, I know
4:08
Speaker 1: that everybody said that they were worried about Patullo and
4:11
Speaker 1: what do you do? But who was out there? You
4:15
Speaker 1: got to look at the coaches that were fired. Do
4:17
Speaker 1: you want them all of a sudden back to you know,
4:19
Speaker 1: Doug Peterson? Do you want Doug Peterson coming in as
4:23
Speaker 1: your offensive coordinator? That might have been a little bit awkward.
4:26
Speaker 1: So you want chip Kelly? Chip Kelly got an offensive
4:29
Speaker 1: coordinator job in the NFL with the Raiders. How's that
4:31
Speaker 1: working out for the Raiders? Right now? Right? How would
4:34
Speaker 1: that have worked out if chip Kelly came back as
4:36
Speaker 1: the Eagles offensive coordinator. Gotta have a plan. You can't
4:39
Speaker 1: just fire people out of anger, all right. You can't
4:42
Speaker 1: just fire people out of two weeks. Even though we
4:46
Speaker 1: know that the Eagles pass offense and rush offense has
4:50
Speaker 1: not worked correctly the right way for six weeks, but
4:55
Speaker 1: it has not also been a total disaster. This offense
4:59
Speaker 1: has functioned, the pass offense, especially within games, fairly well.
5:05
Speaker 1: So I'm not trying to sell you a bill of goods.
5:07
Speaker 1: I'm not trying to tell you everything's gonna be fine.
5:09
Speaker 1: I'm not trying to tell you anything other than that
5:13
Speaker 1: Kevin Petula is not gonna get fired within the next
5:16
Speaker 1: week or two, that they're gonna have to figure some
5:18
Speaker 1: things out. He's gonna get that time. We'll see what
5:21
Speaker 1: happens after the year. But it's not happening, then he's
5:26
Speaker 1: gonna get fired. And whenever someone runs to YouTube or
5:32
Speaker 1: or Twitter or x or Facebook, it says Kevin Petulo
5:34
Speaker 1: has got to go get him out of here. Now,
5:37
Speaker 1: I wonder what rationale are you? How are you making
5:42
Speaker 1: the team better by doing that? Who are you putting
5:45
Speaker 1: in this person's place to all of a sudden make
5:49
Speaker 1: you feel comfortable with the offensive? By the way, it's
5:53
Speaker 1: not all his fault, you know, Kellen Moore. We have
5:57
Speaker 1: to have a serious conversation about Kellen Moore and the
6:02
Speaker 1: job the results that he did last year as the
6:07
Speaker 1: Eagles offensive coordinator, because I've already seen Ah Man, do
6:11
Speaker 1: I miss Kellen Moore? Well, you know, do you know
6:13
Speaker 1: what the offense ranked under Kellen Moore last year, specifically
6:17
Speaker 1: the pass offense. It was not very good, all right.
6:20
Speaker 1: The reason why Kellen Moore's offense looked good last year
6:25
Speaker 1: was because Saquon Barkley had an unbelievable year and the
6:28
Speaker 1: offensive line played great and stayed healthy. Well, right now,
6:32
Speaker 1: your offensive line is not healthy and that is prohibiting
6:35
Speaker 1: it from playing great, and your running game is suffering
6:39
Speaker 1: because of it. Now, I'm not saying it couldn't be better.
6:43
Speaker 1: And you're hearing guys talk about predictability and that's got
6:45
Speaker 1: to be worked on. But that is the biggest reason,
6:48
Speaker 1: more than anything, that the Eagles offense as a whole
6:52
Speaker 1: isn't performing well. And Kellen Moore came to the Eagles
6:56
Speaker 1: last year, and I think we all remember the first
6:59
Speaker 1: four or five weeks of the season, was not running
7:03
Speaker 1: his he was trying to run his style of offense,
7:06
Speaker 1: had a lot of under center, a lot of motion,
7:08
Speaker 1: and he wind up scrapping a lot of that. You
7:11
Speaker 1: have to remember this, folks. The Eagles offense is basically
7:14
Speaker 1: the same conceptually that it has been under several different
7:19
Speaker 1: coordinators for the last four or five years, and I
7:22
Speaker 1: just don't think we should rewrite history and say Kellen
7:26
Speaker 1: Moore came in here and did an amazing job as
7:29
Speaker 1: an offensive coordinator because the Eagles won the Super Bowl,
7:32
Speaker 1: all right, he did an amazing job being the coordinator
7:36
Speaker 1: when he had a great offensive line and Howie Roseman
7:38
Speaker 1: signed Sakwon Barkley, and that enabled the Eagles to have
7:43
Speaker 1: the best running game in the NFL, best offensive line
7:46
Speaker 1: in the NFL. But as a total offense, you know,
7:50
Speaker 1: they were eighth, which is great, I mean, which is good,
7:55
Speaker 1: not great. They were eighth, Okay. As a passing offense,
7:58
Speaker 1: they were twenty ninth. They averaged one hundred and eighty
8:03
Speaker 1: eight yards per game. So are they behind that night now? Absolutely,
8:07
Speaker 1: they're still not. They're not even at that right now.
8:10
Speaker 1: They're more about one hundred and eighty okay, so they're well,
8:14
Speaker 1: they're off the pace, but by eight yards. I just
8:16
Speaker 1: don't want people to, you know, yearn for something that
8:20
Speaker 1: didn't really exist. The idea that Kellen Moore came in
8:24
Speaker 1: and transformed the offense is just not true, okay. And
8:29
Speaker 1: two things can be true at one time. One Kellen
8:32
Speaker 1: Moore came in and won a Super Bowl as a
8:36
Speaker 1: coordinator without really changing a whole lot of the offense.
8:41
Speaker 1: But he might have been a good a better play
8:43
Speaker 1: caller as far as they're all calling the same playbook.
8:47
Speaker 1: But he may have just been better than Kevin Bittulo
8:51
Speaker 1: at sequencing those plays. And you know, having some ideas
8:54
Speaker 1: to add to when to run the play is as
8:57
Speaker 1: important as the play that you're running. So maybe he
9:01
Speaker 1: had a better feel for that. But we can't rewrite
9:03
Speaker 1: history and act like Kellen Moore came in here and
9:06
Speaker 1: was running some kind of offense that Kevin Petulo is
9:09
Speaker 1: not capable of doing. It's not like that. So the
9:13
Speaker 1: Eagles have a lot of work to do. Remember how
9:16
Speaker 1: you felt about them last year when they were two
9:18
Speaker 1: and two and this guy was falling. I'm not ready
9:21
Speaker 1: to give up on the idea that this team is
9:24
Speaker 1: as you know, bad team or I'm not ready to
9:27
Speaker 1: get on board, but the idea that this team isn't
9:29
Speaker 1: a super Bowl team anymore can't be good. Still have
9:31
Speaker 1: a lot of talent. They just obviously have to figure
9:34
Speaker 1: some things out. I would say you don't have to
9:37
Speaker 1: fully believe that they will, but I do believe they
9:40
Speaker 1: have earned the benefit of the doubt to at least
9:44
Speaker 1: make you think that they can figure some things out.
9:47
Speaker 1: I don't think they have to make wholesale, radical offensive
9:52
Speaker 1: concept changes. I think they have to be obviously less predictable,
9:58
Speaker 1: and that means maybe doing things a little bit differently
10:01
Speaker 1: than they've done in the past. But if you really
10:04
Speaker 1: want to break it down to what they need to do,
10:06
Speaker 1: they have to get the run game back to where
10:10
Speaker 1: it was last year or close to where it was
10:13
Speaker 1: last year. That to me is the biggest difference, and
10:16
Speaker 1: I do believe if they do and when they do
10:19
Speaker 1: do that, the passing game will fall into place. The
10:22
Speaker 1: defense will be better because the offense will have more
10:25
Speaker 1: time and possession, more ball control, and the defense will
10:30
Speaker 1: be able to benefit from that. But right now, it's
10:32
Speaker 1: just a big cluster, you know what. And that's why
10:34
Speaker 1: they've lost to in a row, and that's why they
10:36
Speaker 1: go and lose to a one and four Giants team
10:39
Speaker 1: in a game that they weren't frankly very competitive. But
10:42
Speaker 1: we will see. They got the mini by here and
10:45
Speaker 1: then they've got the Vikings next Sunday. We have more
10:49
Speaker 1: bye weeks again. This week Minnesota, the Vikings will be
10:52
Speaker 1: coming off the buy when they play the Eagles next Sunday,
10:55
Speaker 1: and then the Houston Texans also on the buy as well. Hey,
11:00
Speaker 1: you know that one guy in the group chat who
11:02
Speaker 1: hit a five leg parlay week one and he wouldn't
11:05
Speaker 1: shut up about it for the rest of the season.
11:07
Speaker 1: Sounds like kaplan, right, Yeah, yeah, it could be him,
11:10
Speaker 1: It could be you, and we would all want to
11:14
Speaker 1: be you. My bookie makes it stupid easy to get
11:18
Speaker 1: in on the action, whether it's college ball, NFL Super
11:22
Speaker 1: Contest and Survivor pools. All the spreads, player props and
11:26
Speaker 1: in game lines that you could want, all under one roof.
11:31
Speaker 1: What more could you want than that?
11:33
Speaker 2: If you're new to my Bookie, use our code the
11:38
Speaker 2: Birds THG b IRDs the Birds use the code, and
11:44
Speaker 2: any bet you choose up to five hundred.
11:46
Speaker 1: Dollars is fully covered. Make your play and if it
11:50
Speaker 1: doesn't hit, you get it right back when you opt
11:53
Speaker 1: in using your bet back bonus token. There is no
11:57
Speaker 1: better time to jump in right now.
12:00
Speaker 2: No better place to play football is back.
12:03
Speaker 1: Let's make some money with my bookie. Let us look
12:07
Speaker 1: at the early games now there's obviously it's another week
12:11
Speaker 1: of a game in London, so you'll be able to
12:14
Speaker 1: wake up early if you live on the East coast,
12:15
Speaker 1: nine thirty am even earlier, I guess if you live
12:19
Speaker 1: in Central or West Coast, but nine thirty am for
12:22
Speaker 1: those of us on the East coast, we'll be able
12:24
Speaker 1: to see the Broncos at the Jets. The Broncos are
12:29
Speaker 1: six and a half point favorites. Forty three and a
12:32
Speaker 1: half is the over under. The Jets have been terrible defensively,
12:37
Speaker 1: there's no reason to think that the Broncos will not be,
12:42
Speaker 1: you know, victorious in this game. The Jets, Aaron Glenn
12:46
Speaker 1: has been a disappointment. I gotta say I didn't it's
12:50
Speaker 1: and it's not just the record, Okay, I didn't think
12:53
Speaker 1: the Jets were gonna be very good this year. Usually
12:56
Speaker 1: when you're cleaning house, bringing in a new GM, bringing
12:59
Speaker 1: in a new code coach, bringing in new coordinators, and
13:02
Speaker 1: you're not a very talented team to begin with, then
13:04
Speaker 1: you're gonna take a lot of losses earlier in the year,
13:07
Speaker 1: and they're doing that. I just thought that they would
13:10
Speaker 1: be a a little more competitive and be a little
13:14
Speaker 1: better on defense, considering they have some pretty good defensive
13:18
Speaker 1: players and Aaron Glenn's a defensive coach. But here's there.
13:22
Speaker 1: Five games so far, they've given up thirty four points,
13:25
Speaker 1: thirty points, twenty nine points, twenty seven points at the Dolphins,
13:29
Speaker 1: and then thirty seven to the Dallas Cowboys. So Denver's
13:33
Speaker 1: gonna come in there. They're gonna run the ball with Harvey,
13:37
Speaker 1: They're gonna run the ball with Dobbins. They're gonna throw
13:39
Speaker 1: the ball to Courtland Sutton, who had a great game
13:41
Speaker 1: second half against the Eagles, and they should be able
13:44
Speaker 1: to take control. Defensively. The Broncos are very, very good,
13:49
Speaker 1: and I do not expect Justin Fields, who's had some
13:53
Speaker 1: pretty good moments this year, to really do much. They
13:56
Speaker 1: need to run the ball the Jets, and I don't
13:59
Speaker 1: think it will be able to run the ball against
14:01
Speaker 1: this very very good Broncos defensive front. Arizona at Indianapolis
14:08
Speaker 1: sounds like Kyler Murray is going to be a game
14:10
Speaker 1: time decision. I don't think it matters much. I think
14:13
Speaker 1: that that organization right now is at a real low
14:17
Speaker 1: point in the Jonathan Gannon era. You know, they started
14:20
Speaker 1: off two and zero, lost a heartbreaker to the forty
14:23
Speaker 1: nine ers, lost you know, they made a comeback against
14:26
Speaker 1: the Seahawks, lost on a field goal, and then just
14:29
Speaker 1: completely blew it against the Titans last Sunday. The Titans
14:33
Speaker 1: win that game for the first win of the year. Obviously,
14:39
Speaker 1: you know, they get the field goal at the buzzer
14:41
Speaker 1: to win it, which is now the Cardinals losing two
14:44
Speaker 1: of their last three in that fashion. Everybody saw the
14:49
Speaker 1: running back to Mercado and Gannon on the sideline and
14:52
Speaker 1: just you know, Murray threw for two hundred and twenty
14:54
Speaker 1: yards no touchdowns. Though I said last week, sometimes it
14:57
Speaker 1: feels like it's Murray versus a Levin out there because
15:01
Speaker 1: he just doesn't get much help from his playmakers. Some
15:04
Speaker 1: of that is on him, and some of that is
15:06
Speaker 1: just on what do you have after Marvin Harrison and
15:09
Speaker 1: Trey McBride. I mean they're both very McBride's very good.
15:15
Speaker 1: Harrison isn't what he's supposed to have been. The offensive
15:18
Speaker 1: line doesn't do much for me. It's not terrible, it's
15:21
Speaker 1: not great, and it's just a team that just not
15:26
Speaker 1: very good. You know, they committed penalties, Kate. They turned
15:30
Speaker 1: the ball over three times again. He saw the big
15:33
Speaker 1: turnover by de Mercado and because of that, the Arizona
15:37
Speaker 1: Cardinals are in a bad way and they're going into
15:40
Speaker 1: the Dome to play in Indianapolis. Team that's favored by
15:42
Speaker 1: six and a half. Wouldn't surprise me if the Colts
15:45
Speaker 1: won by even more than that. The Colts have just
15:47
Speaker 1: been a very, very impressive team so far this year.
15:53
Speaker 1: You could make the argument that they should be undefeated.
15:57
Speaker 1: You know, they lost the game two weeks ago because
16:00
Speaker 1: their receiver A d Mitchell May you know, had a
16:03
Speaker 1: holding on one touchdown and fumbled going into the Denzel
16:06
Speaker 1: one another they lose by seven to the Rams. If
16:09
Speaker 1: they win that game, which they very easily could have done,
16:12
Speaker 1: they'd be five to zero. And the way the Colts
16:15
Speaker 1: will be rolling, So you gotta like what the cults
16:17
Speaker 1: are doing. I think I wrote this on Philly Voice.
16:20
Speaker 1: I very now look forward in my power rankings. I
16:23
Speaker 1: wrote this look forward and it's going to be a
16:26
Speaker 1: while but for that first Colts Jaguars AFC South game,
16:30
Speaker 1: and that doesn't take place until week fourteen, December seventh.
16:35
Speaker 1: Until then, the Colts have really winnable games, starting with
16:39
Speaker 1: this Cardinals game. Two weeks they got the Chargers. We'll
16:41
Speaker 1: see if the Chargers are healthy or not, then they
16:43
Speaker 1: get the Titans, after that, then Steelers and Falcons. So
16:48
Speaker 1: these are the way they're playing. They pretty much can
16:50
Speaker 1: beat anybody, and I think that they're going to be
16:52
Speaker 1: a force in the AFC. By the way, you look
16:55
Speaker 1: at the AFC right now, Baltimore is not what it is.
16:59
Speaker 1: Baltimore's really strongruggling Chiefs, really struggling Chargers have come back
17:04
Speaker 1: to Earth. You look at the AFC and you're you're
17:07
Speaker 1: looking and you're saying, it looks like the best teams
17:11
Speaker 1: right now in the AFC are the Colts and the Jaguars.
17:17
Speaker 1: I'm sorry, I don't recognize this AFC at the moment.
17:20
Speaker 1: That is incredible. And you know, if you want to
17:23
Speaker 1: pump up Denver now because of their win over the
17:27
Speaker 1: Eagles and how and they have some close losses, okay,
17:30
Speaker 1: but the point is this is not the AFC, everybody.
17:33
Speaker 1: I mean, the Bills look, trust me, the Bills look good,
17:36
Speaker 1: but they had a loss to New England, so they
17:38
Speaker 1: now look human. And you're looking at the AFC and saying, man,
17:42
Speaker 1: the Colts might be the most impressive team in the
17:45
Speaker 1: conference who had that on their two thousand and twenty
17:48
Speaker 1: five NFL BINGO card certainly not me, all right. The
17:53
Speaker 1: Chargers are in Miami. The Chargers are three and a
17:56
Speaker 1: half point favorites. This is a very very dangerous game
18:00
Speaker 1: for the Chargers. Why is that? Well, Joel Alt is out.
18:05
Speaker 1: These are left tackle. He was replacing Rashaun Slater, their
18:09
Speaker 1: left tackle who's been out for the year and will
18:11
Speaker 1: not play. So now the coal the Chargers are without
18:14
Speaker 1: their offensive tackles, both of them very good. And O'marian Hampton,
18:19
Speaker 1: their great rookie running back who was really starting to
18:21
Speaker 1: pick it up, is on. I believe he's on IR
18:25
Speaker 1: with an ankle injury, so he's definitely not gonna play.
18:29
Speaker 1: I get worried about Justin Herbert when I hear that
18:34
Speaker 1: the Chargers have injuries on their offensive line, because they
18:36
Speaker 1: have another alignment. Hurt Pimpkins too, and their running game
18:41
Speaker 1: is going to consist of Hassan Haskins and maybe Kamani Vidal.
18:45
Speaker 1: Justin Herbert's been playing great, but he's a guy who
18:47
Speaker 1: gets hit a whole lot when he does not have
18:50
Speaker 1: his protection and when he doesn't have a great running game.
18:52
Speaker 1: And you know, I'm not sure that the Dolphins, the
18:56
Speaker 1: way they play defense, have enough studs to really hit
19:00
Speaker 1: Herbert around. But I'm really talking more long term than
19:03
Speaker 1: short term. But I also think though, that when the
19:06
Speaker 1: Chargers don't have their identity two offensive three linemen and
19:11
Speaker 1: a running back, they become a different team. You know,
19:15
Speaker 1: obviously lost to the Giants, then they came home and
19:18
Speaker 1: they lost badly to the Commanders. The Dolphins are a
19:23
Speaker 1: team that shouldn't theoretically threaten them as much as the Commanders.
19:29
Speaker 1: But if they don't have their identity we just talked
19:32
Speaker 1: about with the Eagles, when they're not there, don't have
19:34
Speaker 1: their identity, they are a different kind of team. And
19:38
Speaker 1: I'm just saying this game i'd stay away from from
19:41
Speaker 1: a betting angle. I know the Dolphins are a mess.
19:44
Speaker 1: They're a terrible team. They don't play any defense whatsoever.
19:48
Speaker 1: You know, they just lost to a bad Carolina Panthers team.
19:52
Speaker 1: Their only win is over a bad Jets team, and
19:55
Speaker 1: even that was a little bit too close for comfort. Honestly,
19:58
Speaker 1: the Dolphins should lose this game. But the injuries for
20:02
Speaker 1: the Chargers are giving me pause right now. And if
20:05
Speaker 1: you're the Chargers, you really got to figure out a
20:08
Speaker 1: way to win this one. You want to figure out
20:09
Speaker 1: a way because you got the Colts up next after that.
20:12
Speaker 1: You don't want to have a three game losing streak
20:14
Speaker 1: going into the Colts. You know you have the Vikings
20:17
Speaker 1: and Titans and Steelers and then Jaguars after that. But
20:21
Speaker 1: you gotta have your identity. If you're the Chargers, you're
20:23
Speaker 1: Jim Harbaugh team. You're a Greg Roman offense. You want
20:26
Speaker 1: to pound the rock. You don't have a great guy
20:29
Speaker 1: without without without Omarion, without n Algie Harris. Who are
20:32
Speaker 1: you pounding the rock with? Without three offensive linemen? How
20:36
Speaker 1: are you supporting your quarterback? So if you can't tell,
20:39
Speaker 1: I'm a little worried about the Chargers both this week
20:41
Speaker 1: and into the future. Next one o'clock game, you got
20:45
Speaker 1: the Patriots at the Saints. Hey credit both of these teams,
20:49
Speaker 1: all right? You know what? The Patriots went into Foxboro.
20:53
Speaker 1: I said it on this show last week. I said,
20:55
Speaker 1: I'm not winning too Foxborough. They went into Buffalo and
20:58
Speaker 1: I said, listen, you've been losing for so long and
21:02
Speaker 1: you finally got a quarterback, Drake May who's playing well.
21:05
Speaker 1: These are the get You're on prime time for the
21:08
Speaker 1: first time in a very long time. These are the
21:11
Speaker 1: games where you have to show up. I didn't think
21:14
Speaker 1: the Patriots had to win. I felt they had to
21:16
Speaker 1: show up, be representative, send a statement to Buffalo that
21:21
Speaker 1: this division is gonna finally have some other team that
21:25
Speaker 1: can challenge the Bills, not just Bills having six easy victories. Well,
21:31
Speaker 1: guess what. Not only did they be representative, but they
21:34
Speaker 1: went into Buffalo and came out with the twenty three
21:37
Speaker 1: to twenty win. Drake May, if you haven't seen him
21:40
Speaker 1: play yet, is an exciting young talent. He's gonna make
21:43
Speaker 1: a couple of mistakes, still just year two, but he's
21:46
Speaker 1: got more weapons around him. Diggs is coming on. They're
21:50
Speaker 1: still waiting for Trevon Henderson, still waiting for that running
21:52
Speaker 1: game to either be productive or stop turning the ball over.
21:56
Speaker 1: But May is a big part of what they do.
21:59
Speaker 1: He move the change with his legs. He has a
22:01
Speaker 1: great arm, throwing the ball to Digs, throwing the ball
22:05
Speaker 1: to Hunter Henry. They're playing better defense. I like what
22:08
Speaker 1: I've seen from this Buffalo Bill squad. I'm sorry, from
22:12
Speaker 1: this New England Patriots squad. And I like the fact
22:16
Speaker 1: that now when you look at the AFC East. You
22:18
Speaker 1: might say, hey, Buffalo can't just win by showing up
22:22
Speaker 1: against all three of these teams. You might be able
22:24
Speaker 1: to do it against the Jets and Dolphins, but at
22:26
Speaker 1: least against the Patriots, They're coming for you, and that
22:29
Speaker 1: makes the game fun, makes a division a little more fun.
22:33
Speaker 1: So good job by the Patriots. They are three and
22:35
Speaker 1: a half point favorites to a Saints team that amazingly
22:40
Speaker 1: was down to the Giants came back and won that
22:44
Speaker 1: game kind of big. I mean they were they withstood
22:48
Speaker 1: the early Giants barrage. You know, the Giants were coming
22:51
Speaker 1: off that win against the Chargers, and then they went
22:53
Speaker 1: up seven to nothing and they have a fourteen to
22:55
Speaker 1: three lead. But gradually the Saints chipped away and they scored,
23:01
Speaker 1: and then they scored again with Shaheed getting a big touchdown,
23:04
Speaker 1: then a couple of field goals. Next thing you know,
23:05
Speaker 1: they're winning twenty six to fourteen for their first win
23:09
Speaker 1: of the year. Now, part of that was they're playing
23:13
Speaker 1: a Giants team that's going to be up and down
23:15
Speaker 1: and up and down with Jackson, Dart and Scataboo. But
23:19
Speaker 1: they were home. The Saints always played better at home
23:23
Speaker 1: than they do on the road, the Dome gives them
23:24
Speaker 1: a huge advantage, and it might give them a little
23:26
Speaker 1: bit of an advantage against this Patriots team which is
23:29
Speaker 1: coming off a huge win. How often do we see
23:32
Speaker 1: these young upcoming teams get themselves a big win like
23:36
Speaker 1: they got in Buffalo, then they go on the road
23:39
Speaker 1: and they completely go in the tank. So I would
23:41
Speaker 1: expect this game to kind of have a little flavor
23:44
Speaker 1: to it, even though the Saints are not a very
23:46
Speaker 1: good team, but I like where New England's going and
23:49
Speaker 1: if they can come out of this game with a win,
23:51
Speaker 1: You're starting to look at the Patriots like that team
23:54
Speaker 1: that might be able to make a little bit noise,
23:56
Speaker 1: if not this year, but in the future. You're liking
23:59
Speaker 1: the direction and where they're going. Then kind of takes
24:02
Speaker 1: the stink away from that season opening loss that they
24:05
Speaker 1: had to the Raiders and then that very close loss
24:07
Speaker 1: that they had at home to the Steelers. All Right,
24:11
Speaker 1: Dallas at Carolina. Folks, if you like points, if you
24:16
Speaker 1: like to see the ball in the air or just
24:18
Speaker 1: running backs into the end zone, well this is the
24:21
Speaker 1: game for you. This is a game between Cowboys team
24:26
Speaker 1: that has functioned very well offensively without Ceedee Lamb for
24:31
Speaker 1: a few weeks and doesn't sound like he'll definitively be back.
24:35
Speaker 1: We'll see if he is. That's great, But they just
24:38
Speaker 1: scored thirty seven against the Jets. They put forty on
24:42
Speaker 1: a good Green Bay team. I don't know what happened
24:45
Speaker 1: in that Bears game three in Week three when they
24:48
Speaker 1: went into Chicago and only scored fourteen points. But before
24:51
Speaker 1: that they had scored forty against the Giants in that
24:54
Speaker 1: you know, back and forth game. This team can score
24:57
Speaker 1: and Dak is coming on and he's he's been eight.
25:00
Speaker 1: The fact that he has been able to throw the
25:03
Speaker 1: ball without Ceedee Lamb to not only pick in but
25:06
Speaker 1: you know, Florinoy got into it. Jake Ferguson, I had
25:09
Speaker 1: a feeling was going to really pick it up while
25:13
Speaker 1: Ceedee Lamb is out. Dak loves his tight ends. He
25:16
Speaker 1: loves the down the alley throws and the seams, and
25:19
Speaker 1: he's very good at it. And you gotta give Brian
25:21
Speaker 1: Schottenheimer a lot of credit. I think their offense is
25:25
Speaker 1: clicking a whole lot more than it ever than it
25:28
Speaker 1: has under McCarthy. Dak is spreading the ball around and
25:32
Speaker 1: let's face it, he's about to face a Carolina Panthers
25:35
Speaker 1: team that is not very good. They're sporadic, they're strange.
25:39
Speaker 1: They just barely beat the Dolphins because their backup running
25:44
Speaker 1: back Rico dowdele went berserk in place of Tuba Hubbard
25:50
Speaker 1: with two hundred and six rushing yards and twenty eight
25:54
Speaker 1: more in the air. I mean, the guy almost had
25:56
Speaker 1: two hundred and fifty yards by himself, and he's gonna
25:59
Speaker 1: start again because it sounds like Jewba Hubbard is going
26:03
Speaker 1: to be out. But it took that for them to
26:05
Speaker 1: beat a really bad Dolphins team. So I like this
26:09
Speaker 1: game for Dallas. I do think Carolina will be able
26:12
Speaker 1: to move the ball. Concern how Bryce Young has played
26:16
Speaker 1: throughout the first five weeks of the season really been
26:21
Speaker 1: up and down. I thought they've Canalis after last year
26:25
Speaker 1: kind of reviving him would be able to take a
26:28
Speaker 1: second step. They don't have a bunch of great weapons.
26:31
Speaker 1: I get that Tech McMillan's off to a decent start.
26:34
Speaker 1: Lagette has given them very little and we had a
26:36
Speaker 1: touchdown against the Dolphins. But yeah, it's fair to say
26:39
Speaker 1: they don't have a ton of weaponry. But if they
26:43
Speaker 1: can rush for two hundred and six yards. Their offensive
26:45
Speaker 1: line must be doing something decently. I know they were
26:50
Speaker 1: motens banged up, but I'm thinking this game is going
26:54
Speaker 1: to be something like, you know, the Cowboys are in
26:56
Speaker 1: the upper thirties and the Panthers may get into the
26:59
Speaker 1: upper twenty and we'll see the Cowboys are three and
27:04
Speaker 1: a half point favorites, and hey, the Cowboys win the game,
27:08
Speaker 1: they'll be I mean, they got this tie that might
27:12
Speaker 1: factor into their advantage because it's not a loss when
27:14
Speaker 1: it comes down to the end of the year and
27:17
Speaker 1: maybe having a similar record as another team, but it'll
27:21
Speaker 1: be a Cowboys team that, if they win this game,
27:24
Speaker 1: will be three to one to one in their last
27:26
Speaker 1: five and then that sets up a very very interesting
27:30
Speaker 1: Week seven matchup for them against the Washington Commanders. Seattle
27:37
Speaker 1: at Jacksonville. Folks, if you have not seen the Seahawks play,
27:42
Speaker 1: and I get it, they just they lost at home
27:44
Speaker 1: to Tampa. It was a back and forth game. It
27:47
Speaker 1: was a great game. It was a game between two
27:50
Speaker 1: defenses that have been playing very well, but the quarterbacks
27:54
Speaker 1: for both teams have been playing better, and even in
27:58
Speaker 1: a loss, Sam Arnold played extraordinarily well, he is on
28:03
Speaker 1: some kind of here right now. He's got the highest
28:07
Speaker 1: yards per attempt in the league. He is his quarterback
28:11
Speaker 1: rating is over one hundred and twenty. I believe he
28:15
Speaker 1: is connecting with Jackson Dart, Jackson Dart, He's connecting with
28:20
Speaker 1: Jackson Smith and Jigba six to ten times a game.
28:24
Speaker 1: That has become one of the premier connections in the NFL.
28:28
Speaker 1: And to be fair, he's doing it in a new team,
28:32
Speaker 1: new offensive coordinator, new system. So everyone who thought that
28:36
Speaker 1: Sam Darnold was simply a product of the Kevin O'Connell
28:39
Speaker 1: system last year in Minnesota is probably pretty surprised right now,
28:43
Speaker 1: because I gotta say he had way better weaponry in
28:47
Speaker 1: Minnesota than he does in Seattle. Smith and Jigma is
28:50
Speaker 1: a very good receiver, could be top ten after that.
28:53
Speaker 1: There's no Tyler Lockett, right, There's no tight end that
28:59
Speaker 1: is named Kittle or Kelsey or Goddard. It's Barner, Okay,
29:03
Speaker 1: there's no dk Metcalf. He was traded. So he's got
29:06
Speaker 1: Smith and Jigba and they have a good running game.
29:09
Speaker 1: But for him to be completing seventy percent of his
29:12
Speaker 1: passes and playing this well, thirty five points against the Bucks,
29:17
Speaker 1: forty four against the Saints couple of weeks ago, thirty
29:19
Speaker 1: one against the Steelers on the road in Pittsburgh. Sam
29:23
Speaker 1: Darnold's playing really, really well. And now they go face
29:27
Speaker 1: a Jacksonville Jaguar team that is coming off the ultimate high.
29:31
Speaker 1: They beat the Chiefs, which I'm you know, they willed
29:35
Speaker 1: themselves to win. Trevor Lawrence had the strangest, ugliest, most
29:39
Speaker 1: beautiful touchdown to win the game that you'll ever see
29:42
Speaker 1: in your life. The guy falls down, gets up, stumbles,
29:45
Speaker 1: falls forward, and the next thing you know, he's in
29:47
Speaker 1: the end zone for the game winning touchdown that puts
29:50
Speaker 1: the Jaguars at four and one. And these are not
29:55
Speaker 1: bad wins, all right. They beat the Chiefs, beat the
29:58
Speaker 1: forty nine ers in San Francisco. The week before, they
30:01
Speaker 1: beat the Texans seventeen to ten. The Texans are a
30:04
Speaker 1: playoff team from last year. I'm not saying they got
30:07
Speaker 1: wins over juggernaut teams, but I didn't think Jacksonville was
30:11
Speaker 1: gonna be very good going into the year, and I
30:13
Speaker 1: still think offensively they leave a lot to be desired,
30:18
Speaker 1: but they're coming along. They're getting this connection between Lawrence
30:23
Speaker 1: and Brian Thomas. It's starting to come. It's growing. Now
30:30
Speaker 1: they'll be without Brenton Strange tight end. He got hurt
30:33
Speaker 1: and he's been a big part of their offense, so
30:35
Speaker 1: that's gonna hurt them. And this should be a really
30:39
Speaker 1: good game. Seattle really kind of needs to bounce back
30:42
Speaker 1: because as good as Donald has played, as nice as
30:45
Speaker 1: the offenses has been, every game they play the last
30:49
Speaker 1: two weeks have been very close. You know, they only
30:51
Speaker 1: beat they were up big on the Cardinals, the Cardinals
30:53
Speaker 1: came back, they won the game on a last minute
30:55
Speaker 1: second field goal, and then that Buccaneers game was just
30:58
Speaker 1: a shootout, back and forth and back and forth. And
31:01
Speaker 1: it's not the Offensi's fault, but the defense could not
31:04
Speaker 1: stop Baker Mayfield, who's playing at a really high level.
31:08
Speaker 1: I don't think Lawrence is playing at the level that
31:11
Speaker 1: Mayfield has played right now. So if I'm the Jaguars,
31:15
Speaker 1: I can't be too full of myselves at four and
31:18
Speaker 1: one and coming off a win against the Chiefs. Gotta
31:21
Speaker 1: stay focused, gotta stay the line. And it is not
31:25
Speaker 1: a shock to me at all though that the Seahawks
31:27
Speaker 1: are one and a half point favorites going into this game.
31:30
Speaker 1: This should be a heck of a game between two
31:32
Speaker 1: teams that are off to really good starts. On the
31:36
Speaker 1: flip side, you have the Baltimore Ravens, who are I
31:41
Speaker 1: wonder when the last time this has happened. They are
31:43
Speaker 1: seven and a half point underdogs at home against a
31:49
Speaker 1: team from the West Coast traveling to them to play
31:51
Speaker 1: a one o'clock game, the Los Angeles Rams. And look,
31:57
Speaker 1: we all know that the Ravens are a very talented team.
32:00
Speaker 1: They were having issues before all the injuries, all right.
32:04
Speaker 1: They had issues in the opening game when they were
32:06
Speaker 1: up big on Buffalo, turned the ball over and then
32:09
Speaker 1: just hemorrhaged points in the fourth quarter and lost. All right.
32:12
Speaker 1: They had issues when they played the Lions and lost
32:15
Speaker 1: thirty eight to thirty. And then the injuries started to
32:17
Speaker 1: really impact them. They lose to the Chiefs, and then
32:21
Speaker 1: they just get embarrassed at home by a Houston Texans
32:26
Speaker 1: team that scores forty four points. This is a Texans
32:31
Speaker 1: team that was struggling to score twenty points throughout the year,
32:34
Speaker 1: all right. This is a Texans team that scored its
32:37
Speaker 1: forty fourth point of the year in its fourth game.
32:41
Speaker 1: All right, if you go look at their first three games,
32:44
Speaker 1: they only scored thirty eight points. They scored forty four
32:48
Speaker 1: in this game against the Ravens. So that just shows
32:51
Speaker 1: you how far of a fall it's been for the Ravens. Obviously,
32:55
Speaker 1: that's going to happen when you don't have Lamar, when
32:57
Speaker 1: you don't have half your defense. Defense wasn't playing very
33:00
Speaker 1: good in the first spot. But the schedule makers do
33:03
Speaker 1: them no favors as they welcome a Rams team that honestly,
33:09
Speaker 1: if we're being real, if we're being objective about the Rams,
33:13
Speaker 1: they have given two games away, right, they absolutely could
33:18
Speaker 1: be five and zero. And I hate to play they
33:20
Speaker 1: could be because every team has games where you do
33:24
Speaker 1: something and you say the other opponent. But we all
33:26
Speaker 1: saw the game against the Eagles. They help played the Eagles.
33:29
Speaker 1: They should have won that game. The Eagles blocked two
33:31
Speaker 1: field goals return one for a touchdown. It's unbelievable. I mean,
33:35
Speaker 1: it was one of the craziest endings of a game
33:37
Speaker 1: you'll ever see. But you know what, they also turned
33:40
Speaker 1: the ball over in that game. The Rams did, all right.
33:45
Speaker 1: Stafford had that interception early in the game that gave
33:49
Speaker 1: the Eagles a very I don't want to say game
33:51
Speaker 1: of an easy touchdown, but to put him right in
33:54
Speaker 1: Rams territory at the start, and of course the Eagles
33:56
Speaker 1: turned that into a touchdown and then they lost to
33:59
Speaker 1: the forty nine ers last week the Thursday night game,
34:02
Speaker 1: I think that was twenty six twenty three, and both
34:04
Speaker 1: Korum and Kiram Williams put the ball on the ground.
34:09
Speaker 1: Williams was going into the end zone when he put
34:13
Speaker 1: the ball on the ground and lost to fumble. The
34:17
Speaker 1: Rams are a very talented team. Stafford's playing really well.
34:21
Speaker 1: Niku and Adams give him his best weaponry. When you
34:24
Speaker 1: combine that with their round game that Stafford has had,
34:28
Speaker 1: this team can contend for the Super Bowl if it
34:31
Speaker 1: just gets out of its own way. You cannot put
34:36
Speaker 1: the ball on the ground the way the Rams are
34:39
Speaker 1: doing that. If they clean that up, they're going to
34:43
Speaker 1: be a very very difficult team to beat. The way
34:46
Speaker 1: they're playing, they are their own worst enemy. And unfortunately
34:50
Speaker 1: for the Ravens, who have also turned the ball over
34:52
Speaker 1: and played bad defense. The Rams are coming to town
34:56
Speaker 1: and they're probably with the Mini bi since they had
34:59
Speaker 1: played Thursday Night. They're probably pretty motivated show everybody that
35:03
Speaker 1: they are a lot better than their record suggests. And
35:06
Speaker 1: the record ain't bad, but they could be five and oh,
35:09
Speaker 1: and they'll probably be six and oh coming out of
35:12
Speaker 1: this game. I was very wrong about Baltimore last week,
35:14
Speaker 1: by the way, I'll admit it. I said, despite all
35:18
Speaker 1: the injuries, the Ravens have a lot of pride and
35:21
Speaker 1: they are a great franchise and they would not embarrass
35:24
Speaker 1: themselves against the Texans. I said that, and I was wrong,
35:27
Speaker 1: But that also illustrates because the Ravens are usually, even
35:31
Speaker 1: with injuries, always going to be a representative team. The
35:35
Speaker 1: fact that they were that bad just shows you how
35:39
Speaker 1: in a world of hurt that they are right now,
35:42
Speaker 1: and they really need that buy after this week. They
35:44
Speaker 1: need to get healthy. And if they lose this game, man,
35:48
Speaker 1: are they in a real world or hurt? At one
35:50
Speaker 1: in five? Because then you got to look at the
35:52
Speaker 1: schedule and say, well, how many winnable games here? You know,
35:55
Speaker 1: we get Lamar back coming out of the bye, We
35:58
Speaker 1: get the Bears, Dolphins, Viking, Browns. Okay, hey Jets, hey
36:02
Speaker 1: can we go? Can we win all five of those
36:05
Speaker 1: games and get the five and four maybe then the
36:08
Speaker 1: Bengals after that six and four. If you can win that,
36:10
Speaker 1: then you get Steelers Bengals again. Yeah, the schedule lightens up,
36:14
Speaker 1: It really does. I look at this Raven schedule and
36:16
Speaker 1: I say, all they have to do is get healthy,
36:19
Speaker 1: so we'll see what happens there. But remember they were
36:21
Speaker 1: playing very bad on defense even before the injuries came in.
36:28
Speaker 1: Sports are all about competition. Every snap, every possession, every
36:33

37:35
Speaker 1: that is the one o'clock games. Let's get to the
37:38
Speaker 1: four o'clock games. All right. You got Titans at Raiders.
37:44
Speaker 1: I mean the Raiders have been a mess. Colton Miller.
37:46
Speaker 1: They're a left tackle, very good left tackle. He's it
37:49
Speaker 1: sounds like he's out, and I just don't know where
37:51
Speaker 1: the Raiders go from here. Gino Smith another thing I
37:55
Speaker 1: was not right about, you know, like like Baltimore last week,
37:57
Speaker 1: I thought Gino Smith was going to give them more
38:00
Speaker 1: of an opportunity to compete. And after they won Week
38:04
Speaker 1: one against the Patriots, I made that statement. I said,
38:06
Speaker 1: that's what happens when you add at least a professional
38:09
Speaker 1: quarterback like Gino Smith to your offense and you've got
38:13
Speaker 1: someone like Ashton Genti who wasn't getting the ball early.
38:17
Speaker 1: But you know what, Gino has not played well. I
38:19
Speaker 1: can't sugarcoat it. I've been a fan of his game.
38:21
Speaker 1: He's usually an accurate quarterback. I've said before, he'll make
38:24
Speaker 1: a decision every now and then that will cost the team.
38:27
Speaker 1: But he's making far too many of them. Maybe he's pressing,
38:30
Speaker 1: trying to make up for the fact that he's on
38:32
Speaker 1: a bad team. But clearly the Raiders are not a
38:35
Speaker 1: very good team. The Titans, they're not a good team either.
38:39
Speaker 1: They get bullied by their win over the Cardinals. Can
38:42
Speaker 1: they make it to in a row? Will that help them?
38:44
Speaker 1: Will it help Brian Callahan save his job? I don't know.
38:47
Speaker 1: The Raiders are still three and a half point favorites.
38:49
Speaker 1: Anybody can win this game. Kind of feels like both
38:52
Speaker 1: teams are very can easily lose this game. But I'm
38:58
Speaker 1: got my eyes on cam or here. I got my
39:01
Speaker 1: eyes on cam Ward. I like cam Ward. He's coming
39:04
Speaker 1: off a big win, a comeback win, first win. Go
39:06
Speaker 1: get to all right, Go beat this Raiders team and
39:09
Speaker 1: start to show progression and development and make the tendency.
39:14
Speaker 1: Titan fan want to come back to the stadium and
39:17
Speaker 1: root again because cam Ward showed you something. That's what
39:20
Speaker 1: I would like to see from cam Ward in this game.
39:24
Speaker 1: Bengals at Packers, Now, this is unbelievable. The Bengals and
39:28
Speaker 1: deservedly so, decided to completely give up on the Jake
39:33
Speaker 1: Browning experiment. And out of nowhere, this is how the
39:37
Speaker 1: Browns coach Kevin Stefanski decided talked about it. Out of nowhere.
39:43
Speaker 1: The Bengals call up and say we want Joe Flacco,
39:45
Speaker 1: and the Browns say, sure, we're on the deal of Gabriel. Anyway,
39:49
Speaker 1: here you go, and now you've got Joe Flacco. And
39:53
Speaker 1: I want to say, I want to say that this
39:57
Speaker 1: is a good thing for Higgins, It's a good thing
39:59
Speaker 1: for Chase, it's a good thing for Chase Brown, it's
40:02
Speaker 1: a good thing for Zach Taylor and the Bengals offense.
40:05
Speaker 1: Because Joe Flacco has an arm, he has experience, he
40:09
Speaker 1: can drive the ball. Yes, he's gonna make a lot
40:12
Speaker 1: of mistakes at times. Yes, he wasn't doing a very
40:14
Speaker 1: good job in Cleveland, which was kind of a mess
40:17
Speaker 1: of a situation. But Cincinnati's not that much better of
40:20
Speaker 1: a situation as far as offensive line and how the
40:25
Speaker 1: team is going right now. But the weapons are there,
40:29
Speaker 1: so I can see Joe Flacco having a good passing game.
40:33
Speaker 1: But I can't imagine that Joe Flacco is going to
40:36
Speaker 1: make some huge difference and get the Bengals back. But
40:40
Speaker 1: we'll say the most interesting thing about the trade and
40:44
Speaker 1: the fact that they're starting him right away is that
40:47
Speaker 1: they are in Green Bay, and so that means Joe Flacco,
40:51
Speaker 1: who beat the Packers in Week three in Cleveland with
40:55
Speaker 1: the Browns, at least knows the team. He's going up
40:59
Speaker 1: against any game plan for the Packers for the entire
41:02
Speaker 1: week and managed to beat them. So maybe that was
41:06
Speaker 1: part of the Bengals thinking. I mean, A, they just
41:09
Speaker 1: needed a quarterback, a real professional quarterback. Flacco is still that,
41:12
Speaker 1: and b they get a guy who's already beat their opponent.
41:16
Speaker 1: It's a fun storyline. I don't think it's gonna matter
41:19
Speaker 1: very much. I think the Packers are going to win
41:21
Speaker 1: this game. I'm not quite sure how well Flacco is
41:24
Speaker 1: going to be able to play. The Packers are fourteen
41:28
Speaker 1: and at half point favorites. That's a big line. If
41:32
Speaker 1: you're feeling a little, you know, frisky, you may want to,
41:35
Speaker 1: you know, lay them down on the Bengals to cover.
41:37
Speaker 1: I don't know. I could absolutely see them getting destroyed
41:41
Speaker 1: at the same time. But the Bengals, they sort of
41:46
Speaker 1: they are going to be an interesting team now to
41:48
Speaker 1: watch because of this. And by the way, the Packers
41:50
Speaker 1: are undefeated when they're at Lambeau this year. They first
41:53
Speaker 1: two games were at Lambeau and they looked like a
41:55
Speaker 1: much more They look like a completely different team. They
41:58
Speaker 1: beat the Lions and the Commanders, and that was when
42:01
Speaker 1: Jayden Daniels was healthy. In Weeks one and weeks two,
42:04
Speaker 1: both double digit wins twenty seven to thirteen, twenty seven
42:07
Speaker 1: to eighteen. Then they go away from Lambeau and they
42:09
Speaker 1: lose to the Browns. As I mentioned, they tie the Cowboys.
42:13
Speaker 1: Their defense looks terrible, and then they get the bye
42:15
Speaker 1: week and then they come home for the Bengals. So
42:19
Speaker 1: pretty good. You're in good shape for the Packers this Sunday.
42:23
Speaker 1: You've got your rest, You're going up against the bad
42:25
Speaker 1: Bengals team that just traded for a quarterback. You got
42:28
Speaker 1: Micah Parsons getting healthier. Christian Watson doesn't sound like he's
42:32
Speaker 1: gonna play in this game, but he's making some progress
42:35
Speaker 1: and perhaps he will be able to rejoin their offense
42:39
Speaker 1: the next week. The following week, and that also might
42:42
Speaker 1: help the Packers take it up to another level. And
42:44
Speaker 1: guess what that'll be against the Cardinals. So it's nice
42:47
Speaker 1: for the Packers to have the Bengals and the Cardinals
42:50
Speaker 1: in back to back games weeks. San Francisco at Tampa Bay.
42:57
Speaker 1: I like this game. How about Tampa Bay? First you go,
43:00
Speaker 1: you're on the road at San Francisco, you pull it out.
43:02
Speaker 1: I'm sorry. At Seattle, you pull it out. Then you
43:04
Speaker 1: come home and you play another NFC West team. I'm
43:08
Speaker 1: not sure that there's anybody playing at a higher level
43:12
Speaker 1: at the quarterback position right now than Baker Mayfield. I mean,
43:16
Speaker 1: he lost Mike Evans. After Week three, they are already
43:19
Speaker 1: three and zero. They move the ball very well against
43:22
Speaker 1: the Eagles. We all saw how they lost that game.
43:25
Speaker 1: Then they go on the road into Seattle and win
43:28
Speaker 1: an absolute shootout. And right now, I talked about the
43:31
Speaker 1: Darnald Smith and Jigba connection, but holy cow, the Mayfield
43:36
Speaker 1: a Mecca Igbuca connection might be the most prolific one
43:40
Speaker 1: in the NFL right now. This rookie has been unbelievable,
43:46
Speaker 1: and so is Baker. By the way, you lose Mike Evans,
43:48
Speaker 1: you get Godwin back, but he's clearly not the Godwin
43:52
Speaker 1: of full health. And in fact, I don't think he's
43:55
Speaker 1: gonna play in this game. And you don't have Bucky Irving,
43:58
Speaker 1: your best running back, your two way three, and you
44:00
Speaker 1: still score thirty eight points and win a shootout in Seattle. Hey,
44:06
Speaker 1: you get my ultimate respect. Baker's playing really, really well,
44:12
Speaker 1: and they are a tough team right now, and they
44:14
Speaker 1: are clearly in their division a candidate to go six
44:18
Speaker 1: and oh in that division. And as I mentioned before,
44:20
Speaker 1: if you go six and oh in your own division,
44:23
Speaker 1: then really all you got to do is find five
44:25
Speaker 1: or six non division wins. Well, you got one against
44:28
Speaker 1: the Texans, one against the Jets, one against the Seahawks
44:31
Speaker 1: right now. So really, you know, you're looking at your
44:34
Speaker 1: schedule and you're saying, do I got three more non
44:37
Speaker 1: NFC South games that I can win? Well, they have
44:40
Speaker 1: the Cardinals on the schedule, they got the Dolphins on
44:45
Speaker 1: the schedule, and in the next two weeks forty nine
44:48
Speaker 1: Ers Lions, Lions will be tough, but forty nine ers
44:51
Speaker 1: this week, that's what makes us a big gay. They
44:53
Speaker 1: win this game against the forty nine ers, who are
44:56
Speaker 1: still banged up on a lot of spots, then you
45:00
Speaker 1: can just pencil the Buccaneers in probably for a two seed.
45:07
Speaker 1: Might be getting ahead of myself, but you can definitely
45:10
Speaker 1: see them winning twelve or thirteen games as long as
45:13
Speaker 1: they don't have like major, major injuries. They are three
45:17
Speaker 1: and a half point favorites. The forty nine ers are
45:20
Speaker 1: basically scratching and clawing every week, and I give them
45:25
Speaker 1: credit for it. You know again, they took advantage of
45:28
Speaker 1: those Rams turnovers to win that Thursday night game. But
45:31
Speaker 1: they are not healthy. They're getting healthier. I think Pearcel
45:35
Speaker 1: is going to be back, but doesn't sound like Kittle's
45:37
Speaker 1: gonna be ready. They're still waiting on Iuk. It sounds
45:40
Speaker 1: like he's a couple of weeks away. They got Bosas
45:44
Speaker 1: out for the year. We all know that they have
45:46
Speaker 1: other injuries. Mac Jones may have to start and he's
45:50
Speaker 1: banged up. So the Buccaneers are in a good spot
45:53
Speaker 1: here despite the fact that they've got a lot of injuries.
45:56
Speaker 1: They meant that, and it sounds like they won't to
45:57
Speaker 1: have Irving Evans and Goodwin in this game. But I'm
46:00
Speaker 1: not picking against them because the Buccaneers are playing in
46:03
Speaker 1: a really good high level and like I said, Baker's
46:06
Speaker 1: been fantastic, all right, the Sunday night game. Let's get
46:10
Speaker 1: into that. Hey, fall is planting season. Did you know
46:13
Speaker 1: that many plants and trees actually do better when planted

47:38
Speaker 1: Philly fans, Game day is stressful enough. Parking, traffic, long lines,
47:43
Speaker 1: We've all been there, But when it comes to your cannabis,
47:46

Speaker 1: even show love to the community with specials for fans, students,
48:27
Speaker 1: service members, and healthcare pros. Cam din Apothecary top quality cannabis,
48:33
Speaker 1: great prices, and an experience made for Philly fans twenty
48:36
Speaker 1: one and up. This game should be interesting. The Chiefs
48:42
Speaker 1: are at home against the Lions. The Lions are two
48:44
Speaker 1: and a half point favorites. Boy, I remember the Eagles
48:47
Speaker 1: were favorited when they went to Kansas City in week two.
48:51
Speaker 1: Now the Lions are favorites. I can anybody remember the
48:54
Speaker 1: last time the Chiefs were home dogs twice in four weeks,
49:01
Speaker 1: let alone a year. I mean, that is unbelievable, but
49:05
Speaker 1: it's fair Chiefs. Chiefs aren't the type of team that
49:10
Speaker 1: you can just roll over. I mean, the Jaguars had
49:12
Speaker 1: to come and win that game in the fourth quarter.
49:16
Speaker 1: But obviously there's things missing. They look like they were
49:19
Speaker 1: on a roll. You know, they beat the Giants twenty
49:21
Speaker 1: two nine. The Giants stunk and still do they beat
49:25
Speaker 1: the Ravens. From the Ravens we just talked about, you'll
49:28
Speaker 1: lose a close one to the Jaguars and now you
49:31
Speaker 1: got to play a Lions team that is on a
49:33
Speaker 1: real role. I think the Chiefs will be able to score.
49:36
Speaker 1: The question is can they outscore Detroit. Now the Lions
49:41
Speaker 1: did loose, it sounds like Terry Arnold's gonna be out
49:43
Speaker 1: for a little bit, so Lion. The Lions always have
49:46
Speaker 1: like three or four guys who are injured. Alee McNeil,
49:49
Speaker 1: I don't think we'll come back. They're very good defensive
49:51
Speaker 1: tackle this week. He'll probably be back soon from last
49:54
Speaker 1: year's ACL but not this week. So I think the
49:58
Speaker 1: Chiefs will be able to move the ball against the Lions,
50:00
Speaker 1: but I don't I don't know if they'll be able
50:04
Speaker 1: to stop the Lions from scoring. And the only thing
50:07
Speaker 1: I can say is it's outdoors against the Chiefs team
50:13
Speaker 1: that will bring pressure, and I don't know if I
50:16
Speaker 1: always trust Jared Goff on the road outdoors against a
50:21
Speaker 1: team that can bring the heat like this. You know,
50:23
Speaker 1: they beat the Bengals last week. The Bengals can't bring brangles,
50:26
Speaker 1: bring the ice, they bring the red carpet treatment. Okay,
50:30
Speaker 1: they beat the Ravens in Week three thirty eight to thirty,
50:34
Speaker 1: but the Ravens have struggled and that was in Baltimore.
50:37
Speaker 1: The Ravens have struggled defensively way more than the Chiefs have,
50:44
Speaker 1: so I kind of think this game is going to
50:47
Speaker 1: be close, and even though the Chiefs are underdogs, I
50:51
Speaker 1: give them a puncher's chance. I would totally stay away
50:54
Speaker 1: from this game from a betting standpoint, but this is
50:58
Speaker 1: an opportunity for the Lions, with the Eagles losing Thursday night,
51:04
Speaker 1: to really reclaim the status that they had at this
51:08
Speaker 1: time last year as the NFC's top team. You know,
51:12
Speaker 1: they got all those injuries last year. The Eagles caught
51:15
Speaker 1: fire right around Week six, Week seven. They started off
51:18
Speaker 1: that way. They really they started winning games Week five,
51:21
Speaker 1: six and seven, but they really caught fire the Eagles
51:23
Speaker 1: did later in the year. The Lions were on fire
51:27
Speaker 1: from the start and withstood all of these injuries, but
51:31
Speaker 1: eventually it caught up with them. They're healthier now and
51:34
Speaker 1: they look like they are in some kind of role.
51:37
Speaker 1: So this will be a really fun game, and if
51:40
Speaker 1: the Lions win, you've got to consider them, at least
51:44
Speaker 1: momentarily the team to beat in the NFC. You look
51:49
Speaker 1: at the Lions and you look at the Bucks, and
51:52
Speaker 1: you say, until the Eagles really look like the Eagles. Again,
51:56
Speaker 1: you'd have to consider the Lions and the Bucks to
51:59
Speaker 1: be the two teams in the NFC that look very
52:03
Speaker 1: look the strongest. All right, once again, you got two
52:07
Speaker 1: Monday night games. We'll talk about these Monday night games.
52:10
Speaker 1: Buffalo is in Atlanta, And if you're the Falcons, you're
52:15
Speaker 1: you're probably pretty annoyed, to be honest with you that
52:19
Speaker 1: you're annoyed at the Patriots. You're annoyed that the Patriots
52:23
Speaker 1: went and made the Bills mad. And you know, now
52:27
Speaker 1: you got to welcome a team. You're coming off a
52:30
Speaker 1: nice the bye week before that, you beat in a
52:33
Speaker 1: Washington commander's team that didn't have Jaden Daniels, so you
52:36
Speaker 1: got yourself back to five hundred. You want to feel good,
52:39
Speaker 1: and now you got to welcome a very angry Buffalo
52:42
Speaker 1: Bills team into your stadium. And I wouldn't want to
52:45
Speaker 1: be in that spot if I were the Falcons. I
52:48
Speaker 1: don't like the Falcons a whole lot. In this game.
52:51
Speaker 1: Buffalo is four and a half boinst favorites. The Falcons
52:54
Speaker 1: have been better defensively than offensively, but they still had
53:00
Speaker 1: some weird, you know, offense they've had some weird defensive games.
53:03
Speaker 1: The Commanders put up twenty seven on them with a
53:06
Speaker 1: backup quarterback, and somehow they give up thirty points to
53:10
Speaker 1: the Panthers in a ridiculous thirty to nothing loss that
53:14
Speaker 1: I still cannot wrap my arm, my head around, my
53:18
Speaker 1: brain around, doesn't let me process it. So I don't
53:22
Speaker 1: really think they're going to be able to stop this
53:24
Speaker 1: Bills team that definitely looked a little vulnerable in that
53:27
Speaker 1: loss to the Patriots, but probably is out for blood
53:30
Speaker 1: this week to come back and show everybody that that
53:32
Speaker 1: was just a blip on the radar. And then you
53:36
Speaker 1: got a great game. Eight fifteen game, you have a
53:39
Speaker 1: rematch of last year's hail Mary spectacular between the Bears
53:46
Speaker 1: and the Commanders. We all know that the Commanders won
53:50
Speaker 1: that game on a hail mary. The guy that the
53:55
Speaker 1: Bear safety was supposed to be covering caught the hail
53:58
Speaker 1: Mary while he was drawn with the crowd, and that
54:01
Speaker 1: was just basically a microcosm of the Bear season. But
54:05
Speaker 1: what fascinates me about that is this, if you remember
54:09
Speaker 1: last year, before that hail Mary game, all right, the
54:13
Speaker 1: Bears had won three straight games and they were four
54:16
Speaker 1: and two. This is Caleb Williams first year. They looked
54:19
Speaker 1: like they had turned a corner after beating the Rams,
54:25
Speaker 1: the Panthers, and the Jaguars three straight weeks to go
54:28
Speaker 1: to five. I'm sorry to go to four and two.
54:31
Speaker 1: And then they lost that Hail Mary game and lost
54:35
Speaker 1: like eight games in a row. All right, they were bad.
54:41
Speaker 1: Might have been more than that. In fact, I'll look
54:43
Speaker 1: at it right now. One, two, three, four, five, six, seven,
54:47
Speaker 1: eight nine. They've lost ten games in a row. That
54:50
Speaker 1: Hail Marry game was the start of a ten game
54:53
Speaker 1: losing streak, all right. And I only bring that up
54:56
Speaker 1: because right now. The Bears, after losing their first two
54:59
Speaker 1: games of the year, came back. They beat the Cowboys
55:02
Speaker 1: in their own state at home in Chicago, thirty one
55:05
Speaker 1: to fourteen, and then they outlasted a bad Raiders team
55:08
Speaker 1: twenty five to twenty four. And then they had to
55:10
Speaker 1: buy so they had sometimes to figure some things out.
55:13
Speaker 1: I think what they need to figure out is how
55:15
Speaker 1: to get their two rookies that they drafted in the
55:18
Speaker 1: top forty into the offense. They got to figure out
55:21
Speaker 1: how to get Luther Burden into the offense, and how
55:24
Speaker 1: to get Colston Lovelin tenth overall pick into the offense
55:28
Speaker 1: because those two guys haven't really done very much. It's
55:30
Speaker 1: been the Roma Doonday Show, which is nice for Roma
55:33
Speaker 1: Dunsay and Caleb Williams, but DJ Moore really not been
55:37
Speaker 1: a factor into their offense. And if you're gonna go
55:40
Speaker 1: beat the Commanders, who have Jayden Daniels back and they
55:43
Speaker 1: have a good pass rush. The Commanders a better pass rush,
55:48
Speaker 1: especially from the edges. Then I anticipated that they would have.
55:52
Speaker 1: We knew they were strong up the middle, but their
55:54
Speaker 1: deficiency was ed rusher, ed rusher. That's why they signed
55:57
Speaker 1: Von Miller. You know, dusted off him, but he's played
56:02
Speaker 1: all right. Dorance Armstrong has played really well. The Commanders
56:06
Speaker 1: can rush the passer and they can get after you.
56:08
Speaker 1: That was an impressive win they had against the Chargers
56:11
Speaker 1: last week, going out on the road in LA and
56:15
Speaker 1: winning that game. And they want to just like everybody else.
56:19
Speaker 1: They're looking at the Eagles and saying, now is our
56:21
Speaker 1: time to make a move. They're a better team than
56:25
Speaker 1: the Bears. They should beat the Bears. And if you're
56:29
Speaker 1: the Bears, you don't want this in the back of
56:32
Speaker 1: your mind. Another lost to the Commanders that kickstarted a
56:36
Speaker 1: ten game losing streak last year. I think it'll be
56:39
Speaker 1: a pretty good game. Washington's the home team, the four
56:41
Speaker 1: and a half point favorites. It's a very important game
56:46
Speaker 1: for both teams. For the Bears, it's sort of putting
56:49
Speaker 1: last year's disappointment behind them and showing that they actually
56:55
Speaker 1: have turned a corner in winning their last two games.
56:58
Speaker 1: And for the Commanders with Jayden Daniels healthy again, and
57:02
Speaker 1: it doesn't sound like I don't know if I don't
57:06
Speaker 1: know that they're gonna be able to get McLaurin back.
57:09
Speaker 1: I mean, they're still limited offensively, They're doing the most
57:11
Speaker 1: they can. Jacory Krossky Merit or Bill Merritt as he
57:14
Speaker 1: likes to be called, has now taken the role as
57:17
Speaker 1: their number one running back. He gives them a little
57:20
Speaker 1: playmaking ability. I like it. They're a very well coached team,
57:23
Speaker 1: the Commanders are, and this is an important game for
57:26
Speaker 1: them because they're gonna look at the standings and say, hey,
57:30
Speaker 1: we win this game. Guess what. Guess what our record
57:34
Speaker 1: is now? Yeah, four and two, that's what the Eagles are. Okay,
57:39
Speaker 1: So everybody's got their eye on the Eagles. And everybody's
57:42
Speaker 1: got their eye. I'm making their move while the Eagles
57:45
Speaker 1: are down, because like me, they're all probably thinking the
57:48
Speaker 1: same thing. We have to win games when the Eagles don't,
57:52
Speaker 1: because eventually the Eagles will get they will figure out
57:55
Speaker 1: their problems, and they will probably be a very competitive
57:58
Speaker 1: team once they do. So let's get our opportunities. Let's
58:02
Speaker 1: capitalize us on them while we have the chance. All right.
58:08
Speaker 1: Time to go through my picks of the week.

58:35
Speaker 3: nine to one, eight seven five.
58:40
Speaker 1: Before I give you my picks, I'm gonna do a
58:43
Speaker 1: two in one deal here because I realized I skipped
58:46
Speaker 1: a one o'clock game with the Steelers being six and
58:50
Speaker 1: a half point favorites over the Browns. The Steelers are
58:53
Speaker 1: coming off the bye week. I still am very skeptical
58:58
Speaker 1: of their long term I guess future. Their running game
59:03
Speaker 1: gives me some pause. Defense has played better, and you
59:06
Speaker 1: know they were out in out across the Pond in Ireland.
59:12
Speaker 1: You know when they played the Vikings, won that game
59:15
Speaker 1: twenty four to twenty one. Their defense played pretty well.
59:17
Speaker 1: They're coming off two wins over the Vikings and the Patriots,
59:20
Speaker 1: and then they had the buye. So I'm still skeptical
59:24
Speaker 1: of them. But I you know, Steelers Browns is a rivalry.
59:27
Speaker 1: It's at Pittsburgh and their six and a half point favorites,
59:31
Speaker 1: and that's gonna be one of the games that I take.
59:33
Speaker 1: I like the Steelers to cover the six and a
59:36
Speaker 1: half against the Browns this week. That is my first pick. Now.
59:41
Speaker 1: Last week, I forgot to mention I got back into
59:44
Speaker 1: the win column. I went two and one. I had
59:46
Speaker 1: taken the Colts six and a half over the Raiders.
59:49
Speaker 1: I won on that. I had the Cowboys one and
59:51
Speaker 1: a half at the Jets. I won on that I
59:53
Speaker 1: did lose. The Chiefs were favored by three and a
59:56
Speaker 1: half over the Jags, Obviously, they lost the game, so
59:59
Speaker 1: I went two and and now I'm five and ten
1:00:02
Speaker 1: for the year. But I feel like I'm about to
1:00:04
Speaker 1: make my move now that the uncertainty of the first
1:00:07
Speaker 1: three to four weeks is behind us. So again I
1:00:10
Speaker 1: like Steelers covering the six and a half in Pittsburgh
1:00:13
Speaker 1: against the Browns. I'm gonna stay with the Colts. The
1:00:16
Speaker 1: Colts keep getting a nice cake schedule. They're six and
1:00:19
Speaker 1: a half point favorites at home again, this time against
1:00:22
Speaker 1: the Cardinals. Mate we'll see about Kyler Murray, but regardless,
1:00:26
Speaker 1: I think the way Jonathan Taylor is running the ball,
1:00:29
Speaker 1: the way Daniel Jones is getting the ball to Warren
1:00:31
Speaker 1: and Pittman, and the way the defense is playing that
1:00:35
Speaker 1: the Colts should win that game by more than a touchdown.
1:00:38
Speaker 1: And I like the Cowboys as three and a half
1:00:42
Speaker 1: point favorites over the Panthers. I don't love the Cowboys defense,
1:00:45
Speaker 1: but I don't love the Panthers defense either, and I
1:00:48
Speaker 1: think the Cowboys are gonna score a whole lot of
1:00:50
Speaker 1: points in that game, should be able to win and
1:00:52
Speaker 1: cover the three and a half. So that's gonna do
1:00:56
Speaker 1: it for the inside the Birds. Week six NFL Previews. You,
1:01:00
Speaker 1: as always, as I tell you, enjoy your football watching
