0:14
Welcome back to Banter with the Boys. Gridiron
0:17
updates. And we got the week three recap episode
0:22
here. And if kickers are your thing, this is
0:26
the episode for you. I tell you what. In this
0:30
episode, we recap three or four games. I'm sorry
0:32
that we previewed the week before. If you are
0:35
new to us. Welcome. Welcome. That's right. Who
0:39
just said welcome is Roberto. He is a fellow
0:41
Viking fan here. 3 -0, baby. 3 -0. 3 -0. Is it
0:45
a fake 3 -0 or is it a real 3 -0? Time will tell.
0:48
Time will tell. I'm also a Viking fan and I just
0:52
asked that dumb question. Of course it's real.
0:55
Jake. Jake's a Ravens fan. Represent. Yeah, Flock
1:00
Nation. I like your shirt today. Thanks. Figured
1:03
we'd celebrate in style with the win in Rio.
1:06
It is very Rio of you. I was trying to think
1:09
of the movie and I totally blanked on it. Is
1:12
it real? Yeah, there's an animated movie called
1:14
Rio. Birds out of Minnesota. That's all I know
1:18
about that movie. Kev? You're behind the scenes
1:23
getting everything done for us. So the four games
1:25
that we decided to preview last week again. That
1:29
episode is out, so you can go catch that first
1:31
if you want to and stop this one right now. Don't
1:34
stop it because you want to stop watching and
1:36
we're annoying already. Please keep watching.
1:38
Sorry. So our four games this week that we will
1:41
be recapping will be Panthers at Browns, Titans
1:43
at Giants, Ravens at Cowboys, Vikings at Tampa
1:45
Bay. We will always have a Ravens and Vikings
1:48
game in there somewhere. So let's start with
1:50
the first one, the Panthers traveling to the
1:53
Cleveland Browns. I actually usually have all
1:55
of this pulled up. I have none of it pulled up.
1:58
Give us our final score there, Jake. Browns win,
2:01
and that was 21 -18. I had to go back to it.
2:07
I was taking a look at a couple of other stats.
2:08
I usually have this all set, and I didn't. But
2:10
anyway, Cleveland getting the dub, and I was
2:14
the only one up here to pick them. I'm almost
2:16
certain, if I remember. You are. Good for you.
2:18
Lucky. Way to take a chance. I took a chance
2:21
on this one and the next game that we'll talk
2:24
about. But Deshaun Watson finally getting his
2:29
win. Finally. The stadium now chanting his name.
2:33
Which is interesting. I thought about that, too.
2:35
I'm like, man, Wagoners. Yeah. So back and forth.
2:40
But, I mean, I get it. You got to cheer about
2:42
something. Yeah. Right? So I'm sure the fans
2:45
are just happy to kind of put that one back on
2:47
Mike Tomlin this week. But with the help of Deshaun
2:50
Watson. It's so funny. He's been playing pretty
2:56
effective. Yes. Well, effective. I wouldn't say
2:59
clean by any means. He's not hitting his receivers.
3:04
Their ground game still is something to be desired.
3:07
That defense is still playoff elite. They are.
3:11
And that's going to carry for a while. But how
3:15
long are they going to be able to keep that up?
3:16
I don't know. I feel like their defense. I mean,
3:20
other maybe. I mean, it's really hard to say
3:23
the defensive player of the year. Losing him,
3:25
your defense would be better. But I just think
3:28
they have some younger guys that have really
3:30
developed. Like the linebacker, very long. Carson
3:34
Swissinger. Defensive rookie of the year. He
3:39
was defensive rookie of the year. So now he's
3:40
in his second year. You add verse to it. They
3:43
had a ton of pieces already. They just got a
3:47
little bit older. And they've all gotten a little
3:48
bit better. And they've kind of filled a ton
3:50
of gaps. You know, and the Panthers didn't really
3:54
help themselves a ton. No. What? Bryce Young
3:57
threw it 48 times. I don't think Bryce Young's
4:00
not. Too many times. Yeah. He's not at that point
4:02
in his career or his development where you could
4:05
be like, oh, hey, if he's going to sling it around
4:07
that many times, you're still going to feel okay
4:09
about it. I mean, you think of the adder, you
4:12
know, the receivers with Croker now developing
4:15
and now having T -Mac with all his numbers coming
4:18
out rookie year. It's pushing them first to that
4:22
because Brooks hasn't really developed or he's
4:25
an IR now. And Hubbard is not really that style
4:29
of, you know, between the tackles kind of every
4:32
possession. And they still ran him for 19 times
4:36
that game. Looks like it's the perfect number.
4:38
Under 20. So that means you got to find somebody
4:41
else rather than throwing it 48 times. But I
4:44
don't know if that's, do they really do any of
4:46
the like. do they bring McMillan or Coker in
4:50
the backfield at all and do any of that jet stuff
4:51
or, you know, anything like that to try to get
4:54
the defense moving rather than having to throw
4:57
the ball? I don't know. But it can't be all Hubbard
5:01
either. Like they got to find, they got to find
5:02
somebody else. AJ Dillon is not necessarily the
5:05
guy, but I mean, change of speed, I'd say. Yeah.
5:09
Yeah. But who knows where he's at? I mean, I
5:11
didn't get a, I watched kind of the surface of
5:13
this game too. Just the ton of football to watch
5:15
too. So. I didn't get the full in -depth breakdown
5:19
of it, but just, I mean, now also looking at
5:22
a fantasy life, you know, I don't know. Like,
5:26
I mean, I thought what was Vegas had it. I feel
5:29
pretty close last week was who was on like a
5:31
one and a half or I thought it was further than
5:34
that. I can't remember because we always mentioned
5:36
it too, but I'll look while you think. Well,
5:39
okay. Let me keep, let me keep thinking. I don't
5:41
really have anything else to say about this game
5:44
in particular fair, but The Browns next, they
5:47
got a division game against the Steelers. It
5:50
is another home game for the Browns, though.
5:53
And after... It could be sneaky good. That game
5:56
you think is going to be a good game? Yeah. After
5:59
they were able to dismantle the Bengals? Yeah,
6:02
I think that one, you'll end up seeing another
6:04
really close, tight, defensive NFC North struggle,
6:08
which is really great football to watch if you're
6:11
into defense. Right on. I am. I mean, I like
6:16
it. Defense, you know, they all wear football
6:18
jerseys and it's not all about the offense and
6:20
fantasy football, you know, Panthers go back
6:25
home now after splitting their a win and a loss
6:29
on their road trip here. They go back home to
6:31
play the Lions. That could be a winnable game
6:35
for the Panthers. Actually, it depends for me.
6:38
It's going to depend on if the Panthers can contain.
6:41
keep gibbs contained that's like the only thing
6:43
that that's always gonna be the only thing that
6:45
concerns me right now yeah playing playing the
6:47
lions uh otherwise you know with the way the
6:51
panthers have been slinging it maybe not 48 times
6:54
but if they want to throw the ball i that's the
6:57
team i do it against right now would be the lions
6:59
yeah for sure there's secondaries still on the
7:02
ir and whether kirby's ever gonna play football
7:06
again they're actually are they the worst no
7:11
they got to be in the bottom though passing close
7:13
to the bottom yeah they are the worst pass defense
7:17
in the league actually right now detroit is i
7:20
knew they were down there i just didn't know
7:21
if they were quite the worst yet so i don't know
7:24
look for panthers maybe to bounce back from a
7:25
tough loss against the cleveland browns um yeah
7:31
i don't know if we have a browns game again Well,
7:35
we're going to have at least two more. For sure.
7:36
You think so? Well, yeah, I guess. Yeah, right.
7:39
So we have no choice but to talk. Maybe we'll
7:41
skip one of them. Should we skip this next one,
7:45
too? Weather alert. Titans at Giants. Oh, God,
7:50
I didn't pull that up either. Oh, my God. You
7:52
got the score again, Jake. That was 12 -10, right?
7:57
Yeah, 12 -7. Oh, boy. Horrible weather leading
8:03
up to this game in general. Did you see the video
8:06
of the Porter Johns getting blown across the
8:08
parking lot? Yeah, there have been a whole bunch
8:10
of memes for other teams tied into the Porter
8:12
Johns just skating across. Normally, that would
8:15
be the Vikings. But it's the Packers, though.
8:19
There's also one of the Cowboys. We'll get into
8:24
that. Don't worry. We'll talk all about the Cowboys.
8:27
But the Giants and Titans first. Titans obviously
8:30
fall to 0 -3. We'll start there. You were not
8:33
impressed with Cam Ward. You said pre -pod. Our
8:37
pre -pod discussions. You were just disappointed.
8:41
Yeah, I mean, he just needs to pull the trigger.
8:43
There's a lot of, you know, we'll just take the
8:45
wins. And he just gets dancey a little bit, too.
8:49
Titans don't really have a running game right
8:51
now. They're Pollards. Nice, but I think it's
8:55
more the offense line. I think I mean the Titans
8:57
are still a year out. I think they're like we're
9:00
New Orleans is now is where they can be next
9:04
year where they're like starting to surprise
9:06
people. But yeah, they're just still missing
9:08
some people defense is nice. They played really
9:12
well, but offensively they just can't run the
9:14
ball and it's really hard to effectively pass.
9:18
And they're missing a deep threat, too. I thought
9:20
Tate was going to be the guy that could stretch
9:23
the field more, but they don't seem to be using
9:26
them in that way. I don't think they... Wanda
9:28
Robinson was the other one that they picked up
9:32
in free agency from New York, was the other thought
9:36
of your field stretcher, but it's just not happening.
9:41
And Cam's just... Like there's something off
9:45
to like your point about like take your wins.
9:48
That interception that essentially ended the
9:50
game was first and goal. Like if it's not there,
9:53
you just do timeouts. Yeah. And plenty of time.
9:55
Yeah. And you're an athlete. Just like take a
9:58
couple of yards and just throw it away and then
10:00
try again. Three more opportunities to win the
10:03
game. Yeah. It just seemed like a young quarterback
10:04
mistake. It was. Did he just not see who was
10:09
it? Holland that intercepted that? Yeah. John
10:11
Holland. Second pick. This third season. Oh,
10:15
for the season. Oh, yeah. But did he just like
10:18
lose them like blue jersey against the blue end
10:21
zone? Or do you think he was seriously trying
10:23
to float that up over him? And the receiver was
10:26
pretty well covered, too. Yeah. Yeah. It was
10:29
going to be a tough competitive. I mean, that
10:31
guy might have picked it. By the way. Yeah. But
10:36
on the other side of the on the other side there,
10:40
the Giants. We'll talk about them a little bit
10:43
more in our tent talk episode, as they had some
10:47
news come out this week as well. After that showing
10:50
from Jameis Winston, which again, like we were
10:52
just talking before, some good, some bad, you
10:57
know, every really decent play he gives you,
11:00
he's going to give you an equally as bad play
11:03
the other direction. You just know that. So.
11:06
We'll talk about if whether or not they got better
11:09
at that position or not again in that next episode
11:11
coming up. Don't forget to check it out. You
11:15
know, I excuse me. Jeez. I wish they could have
11:19
got like Isaiah likely a little bit more involved.
11:22
I feel like that's going to be really key to
11:24
the Giants being able to to move forward with
11:27
the rest of their season. I still think they
11:28
missed an opportunity with continuing to just
11:30
run the ball more. I think Jameis was throwing
11:33
it too much, and with the weather the way that
11:35
it was, being wet and rainy, just leverage the
11:39
depth of that backfield that they have. They
11:42
actually have really nice depth back there, but
11:44
they're running Cam Scadaboo 20 times a game.
11:46
So run more Najee in Singletary. I mean, I watched
11:52
the 22. Najee's just not. They're missing the
11:54
explosive. They need that Tracy to be effective.
11:57
They need the explosive. They need the Gibbs
11:59
speed to counter with. Scataboos inside. Did
12:04
he go down in the game? I just feel like you're
12:07
starting to give him too much because he's full
12:12
contact. Did Tracy go down in the game at all?
12:18
He's been banged up, so I don't know if he's
12:20
fully back. Singletary was a healthy scratch.
12:24
I think that was the case with Singletary. They
12:27
really struggled. to run the ball. But I mean,
12:30
as Roberts, all I would do, I'm going to fill
12:33
that box and make Jameis Winston be me. I mean,
12:36
that's literally what happened. Defensively,
12:38
again, defensively, the Titans really pulled
12:41
it off, actually, in that game and kept them
12:43
in check. That could be a dangerous offense.
12:47
Not necessarily led by Jameis. They're just a
12:49
year out. I'm getting year out vibes from the
12:52
Titans. For the Titans. Right on. Are you upset
12:55
at all? Obviously, the viral video of Cam Ward
12:57
to the... I believe it was from this game, right,
13:01
where he kind of goes flat -footed and just kind
13:03
of stands there for a minute. I don't know if
13:05
it was a screen. Oh, yeah. And fans are super
13:08
upset about that and sending death threats to
13:10
family members and crap because it's the NFL,
13:12
and that seems to be commonplace for some reason.
13:14
Too far. But, like, seeing Cam do that, just
13:18
kind of wait in a minute, still completes the
13:20
throw on target. Does that bother you at all?
13:25
No. I mean, the pressure wasn't there, so...
13:32
Right, so... Rather than sitting there wasting
13:35
that energy bouncing around, yeah, you just be
13:38
like, all right, just wait for it. It doesn't
13:40
bother you. I mean, out of all of that, it was,
13:43
what, a five -yard pass? And you're just like,
13:45
oh, that was really anticlimactic. Like, I was
13:48
expecting, yo, he's waiting for the route to
13:50
develop deep, and then it's just like this, like,
13:52
five yards, and like, oh. I was just kind of
13:56
disappointed by that. He just doesn't seem like
13:59
he wants to run at all. I mean, listen, with
14:03
all the injuries in the NFL right now, I don't
14:05
think that's a terrible idea. If his mentality
14:07
is to be, I want to be a pass first quarterback
14:10
versus get out of the pocket and run. They got
14:12
it. Maybe instead of. Sitting there flat footed.
14:16
I don't know. It just changes the angle. Changes
14:19
the angle of the field. Makes the defense have
14:22
to think. And then maybe something else develops.
14:25
Versus just. I think he went still to try to
14:28
hide. Is really what my. He just sat behind the
14:31
offensive line. And that was his thought process.
14:35
Fair enough. But no I don't really care. Because
14:40
he's not your quarterback. I mean, if Kyler did
14:43
that, I don't know. Kyler's never going to do
14:48
that. Kyler's never going to do that. Kyler would
14:49
run at that point. Kyler wouldn't do that. Keep
14:54
it at that. He'd run all over the place. Actually.
15:00
Okay, so let's move on to our third game. One
15:04
that probably had Jake having a heart attack
15:07
or something. He'd probably get checked out.
15:09
He'd probably get checked out. Ravens getting
15:13
the win 34 31 over the Cowboys in Rio. I thought
15:18
that game was going to overtime. I was convinced
15:20
it was going to overtime until the big completion
15:23
at the end of the game. Yeah, there's a lot of
15:25
stuff going on that entire game though. But hats
15:29
off to that to the Dallas defense that front
15:32
seven. They did a really good job of like stopping
15:34
Derek Henry. They were two fourth and ones and
15:37
I love the decision. to go for it in both of
15:41
those situations. The first one kind of sketchy
15:43
cause you're towards midfield and you're still
15:45
on your side. They were still on their side of
15:48
the 50. So kind of giving up some field position
15:50
there. But the, the fourth and the, the fourth
15:54
and essentially the fourth and goal at the, the
15:57
one yard line. I love both decisions. Just try
16:00
to be aggressive with it. Do, do the thing that
16:03
you want to do. Just, like, show your identity.
16:05
And, again, hats off to the Dallas defense with
16:08
penetrating and stopping them up both times.
16:11
I would think, hopefully, moving forward, that
16:14
the offense, that they do different packages
16:19
versus having Henry back there by himself. Okay.
16:23
You want to bring that fallback back. We missed
16:27
Patrick Ricard last year when he was out at the
16:31
beginning of the season. And having that. That
16:34
additional blocker in the backfield with him,
16:37
I think, does a lot more for him to be successful.
16:41
Just gives him a little bit more time, too. Right.
16:45
And so Derrick Henry, like one could say, only
16:50
went for 89 yards. Yeah. But he did exactly what
16:53
you requested them to do. Right. Over 20 carries.
16:55
Yeah. They were still able to pull it off. Two
16:58
touchdowns for him with that. I don't know. I,
17:05
and I was concerned about Zay flower. I didn't
17:07
think Zay flowers was going to play and he did,
17:10
which was great. Yeah. He had those, those couple
17:14
of big plays. Obviously the one right at the
17:17
end. Yeah. That 27 yard or to get them into field
17:20
goal range. And the one second. Yeah. Everybody
17:24
was nervous about the one second situation. Flashbacks
17:26
from a couple weeks ago. Michigan flashbacks.
17:29
But that was a true one second. Seemed like it
17:31
anyway. It did feel like it. No one argued it.
17:34
No, I don't think so. I agree. But also, I think
17:40
the Ravens caught a lot of breaks from the officiating.
17:42
There were some questionable penalties that they
17:46
didn't get called that maybe should have. And
17:50
kind of like the other way around. On their second
17:56
touchdown drive, it was like the second play.
17:59
There was the defensive pass interference that
18:01
Zay Flowers drew, but it really should have been
18:04
an offensive pass interference. It was a pretty
18:06
clear cut that Zay was pushing off. There was
18:10
that that we got away with. When we blocked the
18:14
field goal, I thought we were off sides. I must
18:18
have missed that. That one was really close.
18:20
I tried to replay that. a bunch of times in like
18:24
slow motion at like half speed. It's really hard
18:27
to tell the, the player on the far end jumps
18:33
like at the same time or right before that ball's
18:37
getting snapped. He's not the one that blocks
18:39
it, but still like, I think there could have
18:42
been, or it probably could have gotten, gotten
18:44
or called an offsides on that block. That would
18:47
have changed things too. So I made it up. Yeah,
18:51
go ahead. Finish up. How about your flock? My
18:54
other thought is that I was really excited for
18:59
Tyler Loop. Happy for him. That 56 -yard field
19:03
goal clutch. Kind of makes up for last year.
19:08
Not entirely. Totally redeem yourself? No. Well,
19:12
I mean, there's a difference between kicking
19:14
yourself into the playoffs versus... missing
19:17
it out so and now you're two and one yeah we're
19:20
two and one we're sitting going to the super
19:21
bowl yeah we got the titans next week that's
19:23
looking like it could be a w we'll talk about
19:25
that later but i really thought like and again
19:29
this is me being negative and i said it before
19:30
the show i was really nervous that loop was gonna
19:34
like pull his hamstring or something on the celly
19:37
yeah oh my god All right. Well, I'm going to
19:40
bring up the elephant in the room. Dallas. And
19:42
then we got to close it down because we're already
19:43
over time on this. I know. But it's Jake's team.
19:45
I'm not sorry. It's fine. No, you shouldn't be
19:47
sorry. Dallas at the end of the game. WTF? What
19:51
are we doing here? We got first and goal. We
19:54
got all day on the time clock. And we even got
19:58
the matchup we want. We got our franchise tag
20:01
on the outside on a fade route. Give him a chip
20:05
and a chair to win the game. And then why you
20:09
call a timeout with 14 seconds left? Run that
20:13
sucker down. If that's your game plan to run
20:15
a just burn two seconds, kick that field goal
20:19
down. You could have got it down to nothing.
20:21
Yeah. So huge coaching mistake by Dallas Schottenheimer.
20:27
That wasn't the only one. Go on. Deciding to
20:34
kick it out of the end zone. Oh yeah. And then
20:36
getting it to the 40. Yeah. Like, come on now.
20:39
Like it was, it was aggressively bad. Jerry Jones
20:44
came out and said something. So no, I mean, he
20:48
always says something though. Like it should
20:50
be an on Dallas when they had an opportunity
20:52
to win the game, you know, and they absolutely
20:54
failed at the end. A, the coaching and the players
20:58
that, you know, they had three downs to, you
21:00
know, finish that, too. Still got to execute.
21:02
So, yeah, it was an overall L for Dallas. And
21:07
the Ravens took advantage and, you know, great
21:10
play by Lamar and Flowers and then loop with
21:12
the finish here. Didn't they? I'm trying to recall
21:16
this. And then we really got to move on. I'm
21:18
trying to recall this one CD lamb play in the
21:20
corner. Never mind. Let's just move on. Let's
21:25
just move on. I wanted to bring that up. Let's
21:26
move on, but let's think about something. No,
21:28
no, no. We got to move on because I'm just going
21:30
to be like, um, um, um. Anyway, sorry. Talk about
21:34
something more important to you guys anyways.
21:36
Yeah, let's go to the bowl. You already know.
21:38
Victory. Vikings, obviously getting the dub.
21:41
Big win, you know, in Tampa. Moving to 3 -0.
21:45
Big win. 23 -16. Field goals everywhere. Kyler
21:52
Murray, not super impressive. Statistically.
21:59
Statistically. However, I will say there's at
22:01
least the one play that sticks in my mind for
22:04
sure. It's him getting that first down with his
22:08
legs. It was like a third and whatever. Pretty
22:12
long. And he was able to get a first down where
22:14
I don't think any other quarterback on our roster
22:17
would have been able to get that first down.
22:19
I kept the scoring drive going. It's funny. That's
22:23
one of the clips that he misses. Addison wide
22:26
open deep. Oh, does he? Do you have that? Which
22:30
one is that? We'll talk about it in the pregame.
22:33
Well, look out for the preview episode for week
22:38
four. Sorry you had to pick the play that I did.
22:42
It's all good. You took it as a W. I'm like,
22:44
no. I did. But because he still got the first
22:48
down, we still scored on the drive. Fair. He
22:51
took the win where he could find it. That's the
22:52
Addison post of that video that was played. One
22:55
of them. Oh, God. One. Wow. Either way, I'm still
22:59
not super impressed with Kyler Murray's first
23:02
full game in purple. But the GM continues to
23:08
say that he's trending in the right direction
23:12
in this offense. That's good, I guess. Right,
23:17
right. What's not good is on the other side,
23:20
Baker Mayfield smashing his thumb on Blake Cashman's
23:23
arm. Yeah. How am I tripping? Yeah, Cashman.
23:28
Cashman's arm. And playing not great. Also, similar
23:33
week for him. That's two weeks in a row now.
23:35
It kind of looks similar. Yeah, Baker. A couple
23:37
missed throws. A couple drops, though. Don't
23:38
get me wrong, but a couple missed throws. Yeah.
23:41
He was under a whole bunch of pressure, though.
23:43
Of course. He started seeing ghosts at some point.
23:46
After six sacks, that'll do that to you. So,
23:49
yeah, six sacks definitely is going to make a
23:52
quarterback, you know, just watching him, he
23:55
was very inaccurate, which is not really his
23:58
forte to be that inaccurate. There was a couple
24:00
drops, but there was just bucks of just playing
24:02
bad offensive football, whether it's penalties,
24:05
turnovers, drops, you know, just bad decision
24:10
making. They struggled, but I mean, I think that
24:14
Bucky Irving didn't have a big day. No, but that's
24:17
all I can credit to the Vikings front seven that
24:20
they didn't even Bucky made things but the game
24:22
changer Kevin if you want to pull up or here
24:24
it was that we were up early three nothing here
24:26
and then we got the opportunity on price here
24:29
just making a nice play and then returning this
24:32
back for a tutty and that really switched the
24:36
Momo and I think it relaxed everybody a little
24:38
bit especially for Kyler this first full game
24:40
and Then he didn't really have to do much with
24:43
the defense. So it was a good start with him.
24:46
Kyler sees the field solo. He does. He's quick.
24:49
And then just watching on all his returns. He's
24:52
a threat. It seems like he's become that special
24:54
teams dude. And else he's been filling in nicely
24:58
as a guy. All right. There's football on the
25:06
screen. I'm going to be locked in over here.
25:09
Big win for the Vikings. Whenever you can stack
25:12
an extra win. None of them have been beautiful.
25:15
We got to get Aaron Jones some help. I hope Mason's
25:19
coming back soon. If not, so far, DJ Dallas,
25:24
he's more in there on the passing downs. He's
25:28
a horrible pass blocker. Right. So not super
25:30
awesome. Sorry. The picture does intimidate me.
25:34
And then Claiborne, I think, just needs a couple
25:37
more touches. I'd like to see him somehow get
25:40
out in the opener outside the tackles a little
25:42
bit more before I write him off by any means.
25:45
But we got to get Aaron Jones to frigging help
25:46
back there. He can't do this all season. That
25:51
can't be part of the Vikings game plan. Right
25:55
now, that offense actually does startle me a
25:57
little bit. I mean, and then Jeddah's obviously
25:59
went down and didn't come back. So, yeah, a couple
26:03
actually concerns. The Vikings squeak away, honestly,
26:06
for me. But what do you got, non -Vikings fan?
26:11
Just how messy or sloppy that game was overall.
26:13
100%. 17 punts. The second half was horrible.
26:16
17 penalties between the two teams combined.
26:19
It was just like, just a non -Vikings fan. Watching
26:24
it was kind of difficult and just from that lens.
26:27
But, I mean, there's still big plays, kind of
26:30
interesting stuff. So, I don't know. Take the
26:34
W's when you can. 17 punts and six field goals.
26:37
That's right. Kickers got action. Yeah. But Vikings
26:40
get the win. Before we dip, Tampa Bay, they got
26:46
a home game, another home game, last of three.
26:49
Obviously, they're open three. This is a game
26:52
they have to win and arguably winnable. Sorry,
26:55
Packer fans. Because the Packers are another
26:57
team right now that we don't really know. They're
27:00
up against the ropes, too. 100%. We don't really
27:02
know what's going on there. Again, their season
27:05
could look different if Josh Jacobs was playing
27:08
for them. And Micah. And Micah, 100%. And everybody's
27:11
like, oh, wait till Micah comes back. Wait till
27:12
Micah comes back. It might be done. By the time
27:15
Michael comes back. So this is a must -win game
27:17
for the Packers, too, against a struggling Buccaneers
27:19
team. So that's actually a good game to kind
27:21
of keep an eye out for here coming up this week.
27:25
Obviously, the Vikes, we won't even talk about
27:26
them because we're going to talk about them in
27:27
