• 1:23
  Speaker 1: fueled by Duncan. All right, welcome wow to Patriots Unfiltered.
• 1:30
  Speaker 1: I'm not gonna talk much. My voice is gone. I
• 1:33
  Speaker 1: gotta give you props though, Freddie, you got you got
• 1:35
  Speaker 1: it out? I left. I left my voice in Munich
• 1:38
  Speaker 1: playing hurt. Yeah. So uh. But it is Tuesday here
• 1:42
  Speaker 1: at Gilt Stadium, and it's Deuce, it's Paul, it's me,
• 1:46
  Speaker 1: it's Matt in the booth, and I'm not gonna talk
• 1:48
  Speaker 1: as much as I usually do. I'll see if I
• 1:51
  Speaker 1: can get you in an argument. You got you're kind
• 1:54
  Speaker 1: of you. Gotta play toying with him now he can't
• 1:56
  Speaker 1: really find that. I'll really commit to my website, the Spiders,
• 2:00
  Speaker 1: But we're gonna talk Patriots. We had to buy. But
• 2:03
  Speaker 1: it was a wild week in the NFL. Crazy. I
• 2:06
  Speaker 1: mean that Vikings Bills game was just back and forth,
• 2:09
  Speaker 1: and if you walked away from the TV for one second,
• 2:10
  Speaker 1: you're like, what what just happened? Ridiculous? Absolutely ridiculous. And
• 2:14
  Speaker 1: when did I say the Eagles would get their first loss?
• 2:17
  Speaker 1: Did you say this one against an NFC East opponent? Yeah,
• 2:21
  Speaker 1: and sure enough, totally ran. That's what happens. Yeah, the commanders,
• 2:25
  Speaker 1: some of us envisioned it. Yeah, did you made that pick?
• 2:28
  Speaker 1: Was that one here? I picked the points? Yeah? Good
• 2:32
  Speaker 1: for you, Paul, you did not. Um. Yeah, I'm not
• 2:36
  Speaker 1: gonna lie to you. I can't lie to you and
• 2:37
  Speaker 1: tell you I thought that the Eagles would lose the game.
• 2:39
  Speaker 1: But I agree with you. And when you see those
• 2:42
  Speaker 1: double digit or close to double digit spreads in the division,
• 2:45
  Speaker 1: I almost always take the points. Um. You know, oh
• 2:48
  Speaker 1: seven Patriots, notwithstanding day with the outlier that a law outliers. Um.
• 2:53
  Speaker 1: But sometimes those games just unfold in different ways. And
• 2:58
  Speaker 1: I mean it's it was. I didn't watch much the game,
• 3:00
  Speaker 1: but there were a million different things that conspired against
• 3:03
  Speaker 1: the Eagles in this game last night, which was a
• 3:06
  Speaker 1: scoop and score that should have been a penalty. Yeah,
• 3:08
  Speaker 1: I mean Eagles. Yeah, I didn't see. I didn't see
• 3:11
  Speaker 1: the game display right here where where Heinik went down
• 3:14
  Speaker 1: at the end and they kind of took a knee
• 3:16
  Speaker 1: and then Brandon Graham just kind of like fell down
• 3:18
  Speaker 1: into him and then I think they called that a
• 3:20
  Speaker 1: roughing the passer call that that helped them seal it.
• 3:23
  Speaker 1: It's games like that that that don't do much for
• 3:25
  Speaker 1: the game. You know, the game is fixed, crowd like
• 3:29
  Speaker 1: it's it. From what I heard this morning when I
• 3:32
  Speaker 1: woke up and started scrolling through my my Twitter feed,
• 3:37
  Speaker 1: the Eagles kind of got screwed. But I like, I
• 3:39
  Speaker 1: can't really comment because I didn't see any of the
• 3:41
  Speaker 1: plays in question, but certainly everybody, I mean to the
• 3:44
  Speaker 1: point where Florio was talking about face match should be
• 3:46
  Speaker 1: a reviewable penalty because that was that blatant that they
• 3:49
  Speaker 1: missed it. Wow, I didn't Again, I didn't see the play.
• 3:52
  Speaker 1: But so the Eagles were last undefeated. Good for the Dolphins,
• 3:56
  Speaker 1: they get to celebrate again. For the Patriots, yeah, undefeated regulars.
• 4:01
  Speaker 1: We're the last team to have an undefeated regular season
• 4:04
  Speaker 1: sixteen and no, never been done. Again, I don't know.
• 4:06
  Speaker 1: I think it's hard to do. I don't Paul thinks that.
• 4:09
  Speaker 1: I think it's hard to do. Yeah anyway, Um, and
• 4:12
  Speaker 1: also the Bears in the Lions had a good game
• 4:15
  Speaker 1: back they for they did. Yeah yeah Bears Lions. Yeah yeah.
• 4:18
  Speaker 1: I can't really get rid read on the Bears right
• 4:19
  Speaker 1: now because as you know, I'm looking. I My thing
• 4:21
  Speaker 1: right now is like printing out the schedule of you know,
• 4:24
  Speaker 1: all the teams that are gonna be you know, in
• 4:26
  Speaker 1: the mix and that are gonna be facing. But I mean,
• 4:28
  Speaker 1: you know, Buffalo Chicago. I think the Jets there with
• 4:31
  Speaker 1: Chicago as well, I think, um yeah, they're they're after
• 4:35
  Speaker 1: New England. So it's just a team that that will
• 4:37
  Speaker 1: have some say in some of the some of the AFC.
• 4:42
  Speaker 1: You're welcome. It's the opposite. It's the opposite of what
• 4:45
  Speaker 1: normally happens. Remember the Patriots used to do the blueprint
• 4:47
  Speaker 1: to shut down other teams, right, Patriots are provided the
• 4:50
  Speaker 1: blueprint for Chicago to unlock there to get your team
• 4:53
  Speaker 1: on track, Yeah, which I mean, I like, I mean,
• 4:56
  Speaker 1: I felt like that's exactly what we were talking about
• 4:58
  Speaker 1: going into that game. And I'm just like, why don't
• 5:00
  Speaker 1: they run him like and now you're seeing him run
• 5:04
  Speaker 1: like I mean, as fast as Lamar. I mean, some
• 5:06
  Speaker 1: of those runs he looks were just like looks like
• 5:08
  Speaker 1: he's shot out of a cannon. And you can see
• 5:10
  Speaker 1: when he runs like that, and he's that kind of
• 5:12
  Speaker 1: a weapon. He can throw well enough with that kind
• 5:14
  Speaker 1: of running ability. Yeah, and he still makes some mistakes.
• 5:16
  Speaker 1: He had a terrible pick six in that game, you know,
• 5:19
  Speaker 1: to Akuda under pressure. Um, but he's making some throws now.
• 5:24
  Speaker 1: And when you run for one hundred and fifty yards,
• 5:26
  Speaker 1: I mean that you're a weapon. And I think and
• 5:28
  Speaker 1: they and they, I think it's four weeks in a
• 5:30
  Speaker 1: row they've been over thirty points or something like that.
• 5:32
  Speaker 1: I watched a little the early bit of the Eagles
• 5:36
  Speaker 1: Commander's game last night, but I just I thought that
• 5:37
  Speaker 1: the Eagles offense, just watching them, how they mix in
• 5:41
  Speaker 1: the design runs, I mean, they almost feel maybe this
• 5:44
  Speaker 1: is why they're good. I mean I haven't watched a
• 5:45
  Speaker 1: lot of them, but they just feel like a more
• 5:46
  Speaker 1: balanced team. Like like Baltimore, it always feels like they
• 5:49
  Speaker 1: kind of get going once that happens. But to me,
• 5:51
  Speaker 1: it just seemed watching the Eagles last night that they're
• 5:53
  Speaker 1: one of those teams that can kind of do what
• 5:55
  Speaker 1: they want. They can kind of pick and you know
• 5:57
  Speaker 1: they want to run the quarterback, they can. They want
• 5:59
  Speaker 1: to you know, just kind to go spread l and
• 6:00
  Speaker 1: throw it. They can do that too. So, um, I
• 6:02
  Speaker 1: just you know, overall impressed their ball and the best
• 6:05
  Speaker 1: team in the AFC one again, and of course I'm
• 6:06
  Speaker 1: talking about my Miami Dolphins. I mean, it's it's not
• 6:09
  Speaker 1: even really a joke anymore. I mean, that would that
• 6:11
  Speaker 1: would be the key to study Chiefs. But okay, that's
• 6:14
  Speaker 1: that's that's fair. I would I would agree, But but
• 6:17
  Speaker 1: they're playing the best. I don't know how you can
• 6:19
  Speaker 1: watch two of the last few weeks and not think
• 6:21
  Speaker 1: that he's writ in the mix? Is you know, as
• 6:22
  Speaker 1: Paul said a couple of weeks ago, I think you
• 6:24
  Speaker 1: know kind of like, hey, who do you think be
• 6:25
  Speaker 1: an MVP? Like? But there's no joking about it. I mean,
• 6:28
  Speaker 1: he is playing out of his mind. I'm not hit
• 6:32
  Speaker 1: happened when he's not there? Right? And you see what's
• 6:34
  Speaker 1: happening when they're undefeated in games that he played and finished, right,
• 6:38
  Speaker 1: you know, the one game that he started and didn't finish,
• 6:40
  Speaker 1: they lost the other two he didn't start and play
• 6:42
  Speaker 1: at all and they lost. And otherwise they're seven and oh,
• 6:45
  Speaker 1: I mean, as I said to Paul yesterday after we
• 6:47
  Speaker 1: were shooting the TV show, like two is throwing dimes
• 6:49
  Speaker 1: to receivers that I haven't even heard of yet, you know,
• 6:52
  Speaker 1: I mean, he's doing it all right now. So it's uh.
• 6:55
  Speaker 1: And they're starting to run the ball a little bit too,
• 6:57
  Speaker 1: which could be the guy that got Wilson from from
• 7:00
  Speaker 1: San franci He was running a little bit well. And
• 7:02
  Speaker 1: it's it's kind of like what you envisioned, what I
• 7:04
  Speaker 1: what I'm guessing like McDaniel's Mike McDaniel envisioned when he
• 7:08
  Speaker 1: brought like Raheem Mostart and then he goes out and
• 7:10
  Speaker 1: gets Wilson that kind of speed with the way with
• 7:14
  Speaker 1: all their weapons they have you exposed and they can
• 7:17
  Speaker 1: hit you with big plays in the running game, like
• 7:19
  Speaker 1: they had like a I think Mostart had like a
• 7:21
  Speaker 1: thirty one yard touchdown running that game. I mean, they
• 7:23
  Speaker 1: would just toying with Cleveland. That game wasn't competitive. And
• 7:26
  Speaker 1: you know, I'd be remiss if I didn't mention the
• 7:28
  Speaker 1: big game in Munich, Tom Brady four and oh and
• 7:31
  Speaker 1: International Games. How was it to see him again? Did
• 7:33
  Speaker 1: you didn't? Did you get to kiss him? I did
• 7:35
  Speaker 1: not tell you got I know what sounds like Zell's
• 7:38
  Speaker 1: kissing people, so maybe he can go kiss people too.
• 7:40
  Speaker 1: You remember what we said about this more to that story.
• 7:43
  Speaker 1: All I told, all I said, And just strictly my
• 7:46
  Speaker 1: opinion from Afar is you do not get divorced because
• 7:49
  Speaker 1: your husband or wife has a job, right, that's not
• 7:53
  Speaker 1: grounds for divorce in ninety nine point nine percent of marriages.
• 7:58
  Speaker 1: And I think to the context of him leaving training
• 8:00
  Speaker 1: camp now it I mean, it seems to me like
• 8:02
  Speaker 1: he was on a mission to try to save his
• 8:04
  Speaker 1: marriage probably at that point, and that was I need
• 8:06
  Speaker 1: to go try to make sense right. But poor Tom
• 8:10
  Speaker 1: now now I have. I think now people realize how
• 8:13
  Speaker 1: good a guy he is. Well, the Antonio Brown thing
• 8:15
  Speaker 1: today I thought made him Franks for that. I liked
• 8:19
  Speaker 1: what did you see what Antonio Brown released, which was
• 8:22
  Speaker 1: like this heart felt text from Tom Brady saying, like,
• 8:25
  Speaker 1: you know, you're kind of turning your back on people
• 8:27
  Speaker 1: that you know we're there and trying to support you.
• 8:29
  Speaker 1: And I mean it was so what was the purpose
• 8:31
  Speaker 1: for him releasing the text being an idiot, Antonio Brown
• 8:34
  Speaker 1: doing what he does, I think, but I mean everything
• 8:36
  Speaker 1: you would think would be on Tom Brady's mind after
• 8:38
  Speaker 1: it seemed like Tom Brady bent over backwards to give
• 8:41
  Speaker 1: Antonio Brown multiple chances when he probably didn't deserve him.
• 8:43
  Speaker 1: And what do you think that Brown did it to
• 8:45
  Speaker 1: help Tom like show I was probably trying to make
• 8:48
  Speaker 1: him out to be a bad guy. Yeah, I think
• 8:49
  Speaker 1: that was the implication. And then you know a lot
• 8:51
  Speaker 1: of people are saying, I don't know what Antonio Brown's
• 8:53
  Speaker 1: doing because this makes Tom Brady look like, you know,
• 8:55
  Speaker 1: a guy that's you know, good guy that actually did concerned,
• 8:58
  Speaker 1: that actually didn't care about him. Right, he's playing the
• 9:02
  Speaker 1: long game, he's keeping the texts coming back, it's coming
• 9:04
  Speaker 1: back next year. But talking about you know, lying playing
• 9:08
  Speaker 1: with dogs and getting fleas, right, that's the perfect example
• 9:11
  Speaker 1: of that. But anyway, I'm back to the game. I mean,
• 9:14
  Speaker 1: the crowd and they had sixty nine thousand sold out
• 9:18
  Speaker 1: at the stadium. They were I mean, they were going wild.
• 9:22
  Speaker 1: They see the lashing a football game. Did you get
• 9:24
  Speaker 1: a Patriot centric or just general football fans? They were
• 9:27
  Speaker 1: just excited. Yeah, obviously mostly Seahawks and Tampa fans, but
• 9:32
  Speaker 1: a lot of Patriots fans in town. I thought it
• 9:34
  Speaker 1: was interesting some of the pregame I was watching where
• 9:36
  Speaker 1: they said, you know, the NFL has made such a
• 9:39
  Speaker 1: push over the last decade in London, but really Germany
• 9:42
  Speaker 1: is just absolutely loaded with NFL fans and that this
• 9:46
  Speaker 1: is just such a right market. And that's like we
• 9:48
  Speaker 1: talked about, that was the only place that continued to
• 9:51
  Speaker 1: have the NFL Europe, right, that's right. They were the
• 9:53
  Speaker 1: last Baston of America and there was like three or
• 9:55
  Speaker 1: four teams still left there. That's right, that's right, and
• 9:57
  Speaker 1: they still are. You know, they have their own league.
• 10:00
  Speaker 1: It's called the European Football League. But they have the
• 10:03
  Speaker 1: still the Rhine Fire and the Frankfort Galaxies. Wow, the
• 10:05
  Speaker 1: Frankfort Galaxy that remember those from there still there? Oh
• 10:10
  Speaker 1: my gosh. That'd be a good trivia question. How many
• 10:11
  Speaker 1: of those teams could you name? I think so yeah, yeah,
• 10:15
  Speaker 1: that's right, good Paul. But um, you know, I love
• 10:20
  Speaker 1: you know, the stadium was a beautiful stadium. I would
• 10:23
  Speaker 1: say that they left millions of dollars on the table
• 10:26
  Speaker 1: by not doing their concession stands, right, I mean, really,
• 10:29
  Speaker 1: the lines were ridiculous, and I guess for soccer they
• 10:33
  Speaker 1: have hawkers in the stands, they didn't have any of those.
• 10:35
  Speaker 1: So everybody's like if you literally missed a quarter if
• 10:39
  Speaker 1: you wanted to get something, that's just poor to me. Yeah,
• 10:41
  Speaker 1: that's ridiculous because it's all like glass steins and they
• 10:43
  Speaker 1: got to give you like a half. Well, they have
• 10:45
  Speaker 1: a thing in um. They have a thing in Germany
• 10:48
  Speaker 1: where when you buy you know, a plastic mug, they
• 10:52
  Speaker 1: charge you extra, but you can return it for you know,
• 10:55
  Speaker 1: to euro So like people like a go around, find
• 10:59
  Speaker 1: the math after the game and wait online to redeem them.
• 11:02
  Speaker 1: How how how convenient was it for you as an
• 11:04
  Speaker 1: international traveler, you know, just coming into Munich and I
• 11:08
  Speaker 1: mean everybody speaks at least some English. It wasn't that
• 11:11
  Speaker 1: hard at all. Yeah, yeah, but Munich is a beautiful city.
• 11:15
  Speaker 1: Did you get to see anybody like outside of you know,
• 11:19
  Speaker 1: the Patriots per view that you know, any famous folks
• 11:23
  Speaker 1: you know what I mean, any any people watching you
• 11:26
  Speaker 1: know I of any note No, not really like NFL
• 11:29
  Speaker 1: people or well you know, I just met like famous people,
• 11:33
  Speaker 1: a lot of like political leaders, but like no one
• 11:36
  Speaker 1: would know them here, you know, on the meracle, like
• 11:41
  Speaker 1: you know some Germans us consulate people and you know
• 11:45
  Speaker 1: the German people. And I didn't know if there were
• 11:47
  Speaker 1: any like celebrats over there. Oh there are outside of
• 11:49
  Speaker 1: the NFL. I don't know who they are. I mean
• 11:51
  Speaker 1: there was a social We had a pub. The Patriots
• 11:54
  Speaker 1: had a pub that we activated in and you know,
• 11:57
  Speaker 1: gave away like boxes and boxes of me and dies.
• 12:00
  Speaker 1: And Sebastian was there and Marcus Kohun and they talked
• 12:04
  Speaker 1: with the players and you know, we had the cheerleaders
• 12:06
  Speaker 1: and the mascot and uh. Saturday night they had a
• 12:11
  Speaker 1: social influencer dinner in the back of our pub, but
• 12:14
  Speaker 1: it was sponsored by the NFL, and supposedly there were
• 12:17
  Speaker 1: a lot of like famous social influencer people. I didn't
• 12:20
  Speaker 1: know anybody. I guess there was one player from Real
• 12:23
  Speaker 1: Madrid who people knew who he was. But everybody else
• 12:26
  Speaker 1: that would like like German TikTok like if yeah, if
• 12:29
  Speaker 1: you were on social, you wouldn't. I didn't know any
• 12:31
  Speaker 1: of them, but they were all back there, yeah, building
• 12:35
  Speaker 1: the following and then uh, I tapped my first keg Oh,
• 12:39
  Speaker 1: now you would think Fred, you went to college. But
• 12:43
  Speaker 1: this is a real keg. These are the wooden kegs
• 12:46
  Speaker 1: with the brass spout. You have a big, big wooden
• 12:49
  Speaker 1: mallet and you slam the spout into the keg. And
• 12:52
  Speaker 1: that's where the term tapping a keg comes into and
• 12:56
  Speaker 1: so tap that app So I tapped my first keg.
• 12:59
  Speaker 1: That so you're saying in college when I many times
• 13:02
  Speaker 1: he had just kind of pushing twist that that doesn't count.
• 13:04
  Speaker 1: I haven't tapped it yet. I haven't tapped I never
• 13:06
  Speaker 1: even did that. No, you just showed up. My people
• 13:09
  Speaker 1: did it for me. I showed up with the baseball groupies.
• 13:13
  Speaker 1: I showed up with my cup. Oh your your beer cup?
• 13:16
  Speaker 1: I got you. Um, but you know um. Hopefully the
• 13:20
  Speaker 1: Patriots will have a game there next year. I don't
• 13:22
  Speaker 1: know if it's going to be Munich or fact Frankfurt,
• 13:25
  Speaker 1: but one of those two cities. But well, we'll hope
• 13:28
  Speaker 1: to have a game there year. I'm excited. That sounds uh,
• 13:31
  Speaker 1: that sounds pretty cool for the for the game, and
• 13:33
  Speaker 1: I mean German fans signal. I mean that's why I
• 13:35
  Speaker 1: lost my voice. We were out every yelling. Yeah, the
• 13:38
  Speaker 1: music was so loud, you know, you're yelling every night,
• 13:41
  Speaker 1: So who are you yelling with you? You just talk,
• 13:43
  Speaker 1: You're trying to talk, and but you have to have
• 13:45
  Speaker 1: to get defensive, guys. Watch later. And I told her
• 13:49
  Speaker 1: music was so loud you have to like raise your voice.
• 13:51
  Speaker 1: So like, yeah, yeah, but where you are, but you're back.
• 13:54
  Speaker 1: It was Craig Craig Cray. Yeah, well all right, eight
• 13:59
  Speaker 1: five five past five hundred is the a ticket hutline
• 14:01
  Speaker 1: web radio. Where did you watch the game from? I
• 14:04
  Speaker 1: was in the stands in just as a regular. Yeah.
• 14:06
  Speaker 1: The Patriots had a suite as well, but it was crowded.
• 14:08
  Speaker 1: You know, they had like sponsors and all, and you know,
• 14:10
  Speaker 1: so that's not for you. So I had a good
• 14:12
  Speaker 1: move by, Yeah, out amongst the people. I had a ticket.
• 14:15
  Speaker 1: I had a ticket. I sat in the two hundred
• 14:17
  Speaker 1: section just with all the fans and it was great.
• 14:19
  Speaker 1: So the first time I think I've watched an NFL
• 14:21
  Speaker 1: game as a fan in over thirty years. That's pretty cool. Yeah,
• 14:26
  Speaker 1: And did you feel like the fans were locked in
• 14:28
  Speaker 1: of the you know, I mean cheering at the appropriate times,
• 14:31
  Speaker 1: knowing like you know, they were locked in one London.
• 14:33
  Speaker 1: I remember the first game in London. They cheered more
• 14:35
  Speaker 1: for the field goals, and they did the touchdowns yea
• 14:38
  Speaker 1: here they they got the rules. Yeah yeah, And would
• 14:42
  Speaker 1: you say it was just a great cross section over
• 14:44
  Speaker 1: all the fans. Yeah, that's like, you know, just like
• 14:46
  Speaker 1: Super Bowls, you see fans and all kinds of different
• 14:49
  Speaker 1: NFL gear. But I think other than the Bucks and Seahawks,
• 14:52
  Speaker 1: I think US Green Bay or the two other teams
• 14:57
  Speaker 1: that had the most people are they are they at home?
• 15:00
  Speaker 1: Germany's home for Tampa US and Carolina and US UM Seahawks. No,
• 15:07
  Speaker 1: I'm not Buccaneers, Carolina US in Kansas City, Kansas City.
• 15:13
  Speaker 1: It's some competition. Yeah, well, I know Kansas City's on
• 15:18
  Speaker 1: our schedule next year, but they'll probably split us up.
• 15:21
  Speaker 1: They'll probably be two games in Germany. We play the
• 15:24
  Speaker 1: we play a team from the NFC South, and if
• 15:26
  Speaker 1: it's the Panthers, will probably play them in Germany, and
• 15:29
  Speaker 1: then that'd be two teams then. Yeah. So all right, yeah,
• 15:33
  Speaker 1: I'm gonna gather. But first, what else we got about
• 15:36
  Speaker 1: the Jets? Uh? Wait, we play the NFC South next year.
• 15:40
  Speaker 1: We play a team depending on our schedule, depending our record,
• 15:44
  Speaker 1: will play a team for the yeah, I misunderstood. Yeah,
• 15:49
  Speaker 1: so yeah, yeah, that's the Buffalo game. We could do
• 15:53
  Speaker 1: a whole show on like it was just so wild.
• 15:55
  Speaker 1: How do you ridiculous like that? I told Paul I choke.
• 15:59
  Speaker 1: I was back to Super Bowl forty nine after the
• 16:02
  Speaker 1: Malcolm go thing, and then I even caught I think
• 16:04
  Speaker 1: it was on the pregame last night. This is some
• 16:06
  Speaker 1: of the highlights. This is darkness, like he and Mike's
• 16:09
  Speaker 1: not lying. He came to me, he goes this first
• 16:11
  Speaker 1: thing I thought it was like, you know, after the
• 16:13
  Speaker 1: Malcolm Like the first thing that went through your mind
• 16:15
  Speaker 1: after Malcolm Butler intercepted the ball is, oh, no, we
• 16:18
  Speaker 1: better not fumble the snap. Do you know how traumatized
• 16:21
  Speaker 1: I was by the time we got to that exact
• 16:23
  Speaker 1: moment in time after like the helmet catch. I know,
• 16:28
  Speaker 1: but nothing like that ever happened. It was something bizarre. No, no, no,
• 16:32
  Speaker 1: I was just ready, like a bobbled catch can happen
• 16:35
  Speaker 1: when the other team has the ball, they can score. Right,
• 16:38
  Speaker 1: you have the ball and just need to take a
• 16:40
  Speaker 1: snap and take a knee and the game is over right.
• 16:43
  Speaker 1: That's like, that's Joe Pisarchik. You have to go back
• 16:46
  Speaker 1: forty years for something like that Tony Romo bobbling the
• 16:49
  Speaker 1: snap on the field goal. I stepped away after the
• 16:53
  Speaker 1: fourth down stop, you know, went into the kitchen for
• 16:56
  Speaker 1: a second, and then I came back and all the
• 16:58
  Speaker 1: Minnesota guys are celebrating. I'm like, what could have possibly
• 17:01
  Speaker 1: just happened? And I mean that was how that game was.
• 17:04
  Speaker 1: Twists and turns and you know, a great game to watch.
• 17:08
  Speaker 1: Thee buffalo comes out right down my favorite thing. And
• 17:14
  Speaker 1: there wasn't a ground swell of this, but I did
• 17:16
  Speaker 1: see a couple of people and I think they actually
• 17:18
  Speaker 1: mentioned it on the broadcast. Why not just take a safety?
• 17:22
  Speaker 1: I mean, you insane take a safety so the other
• 17:24
  Speaker 1: team has forty five seconds, they're gonna take a field
• 17:27
  Speaker 1: goal to win the game, right, Like you feel good
• 17:29
  Speaker 1: about that scenario, the way that game was going, right,
• 17:32
  Speaker 1: But I think no chance. Now. Didn't the Patriots, I
• 17:34
  Speaker 1: believe in Super Bowl forty nine, did the hard count
• 17:38
  Speaker 1: to try to did he just didn't work? Yeah, they don't.
• 17:42
  Speaker 1: They didn't have the head bob that Brady did. So
• 17:44
  Speaker 1: I mean, I just I don't want to say concerns,
• 17:47
  Speaker 1: but like, I think this is kind of an issue
• 17:48
  Speaker 1: right now for Josh Allen kind of forcing stuff a
• 17:51
  Speaker 1: little bit. And you know, it just seems like he's
• 17:52
  Speaker 1: choking through a little thing right now. And you know,
• 17:54
  Speaker 1: you know what I think of Josh Allen. Okay, I
• 17:57
  Speaker 1: I think he's tremendous. But there's some thing I believe
• 18:01
  Speaker 1: they are now two and eight in their last ten
• 18:03
  Speaker 1: one score games. That's not a coincidence. You can't be
• 18:06
  Speaker 1: the better team and find a way to lose all
• 18:08
  Speaker 1: the time when it's when it's a close game and
• 18:12
  Speaker 1: it's it'd be one thing if it was like back
• 18:14
  Speaker 1: and forth, then you just find a way to lose
• 18:16
  Speaker 1: at the end, and you'd be like, well, you know,
• 18:18
  Speaker 1: they can't get over the hump. They have problems doing
• 18:21
  Speaker 1: the mundane. Yeah, Like you can't kick off with thirteen
• 18:27
  Speaker 1: seconds left. You can't just kick off and have that,
• 18:30
  Speaker 1: you know, be the end of the game. No, you'll
• 18:33
  Speaker 1: let the other team go down and get a field goal.
• 18:34
  Speaker 1: You can't just take a snap and take a knee.
• 18:37
  Speaker 1: I don't care that you're on the one yard line.
• 18:39
  Speaker 1: That doesn't really do anything right one yard All do
• 18:41
  Speaker 1: is take the snap and just make sure you plot
• 18:44
  Speaker 1: leward you're not gonna lose yards on your center. Yeah,
• 18:48
  Speaker 1: like you're not trying, you're not scraping for every last yard.
• 18:51
  Speaker 1: Where you're reaching the ball out, you're taking the snap,
• 18:53
  Speaker 1: you're tucking the ball away and you and you're leaning forward. No,
• 18:56
  Speaker 1: by the way, you're six five two forty. Like it's
• 18:59
  Speaker 1: like they'd have been better off in the shotgun just
• 19:01
  Speaker 1: having him pick a hole right right then do that? Yeah,
• 19:04
  Speaker 1: I think that's great. It's embarrassing. And listen again, I'm
• 19:08
  Speaker 1: not telling you that Josh Allen's a choker. I'm not
• 19:10
  Speaker 1: telling you that Josh Allen stinks he's overrated. I'm just
• 19:13
  Speaker 1: saying it's embarrassing that they couldn't take a snap and
• 19:16
  Speaker 1: Neil and the ball to end the game. That's embarrassing.
• 19:19
  Speaker 1: I love how you said problems with the mundane. I
• 19:21
  Speaker 1: think that that's that's them, and I don't think it
• 19:23
  Speaker 1: always works because I think that's kind of how the
• 19:25
  Speaker 1: Patriots view them too. Of Like, and I heard, uh
• 19:29
  Speaker 1: is it Josh Boyer, the Dolphins defensive coordinator that used
• 19:32
  Speaker 1: to be here. I heard him in their game. He
• 19:34
  Speaker 1: was miked up, just saying similar things that I think
• 19:36
  Speaker 1: you've heard the Patriots say like they're gonna get bored,
• 19:39
  Speaker 1: They're gonna get frustrated just taking the short stuff. They
• 19:42
  Speaker 1: need to make those big plays. I thought Paul's just
• 19:44
  Speaker 1: mundane comment kind of echo with me, is it gonna
• 19:47
  Speaker 1: be enough? But for right now, if I'm them, I'm
• 19:49
  Speaker 1: looking at Miami going, we got we got real competition
• 19:52
  Speaker 1: right now, we got real competition. And I mean, kid,
• 19:55
  Speaker 1: it's it's legit. Miami can keep up with them. It
• 19:58
  Speaker 1: looks like anyway, you know, they can keep up with
• 20:01
  Speaker 1: these guys. Yeah, it would be interesting to see how
• 20:04
  Speaker 1: that unfolds. But I think Buffalo's problem is Buffalo and
• 20:07
  Speaker 1: they like I think if Buffalo is right, that there's
• 20:11
  Speaker 1: not a team that can touch them in that division.
• 20:13
  Speaker 1: I don't really think in that in the conference either.
• 20:17
  Speaker 1: I think Kansas City is a mark, you know, well
• 20:20
  Speaker 1: below them if if they're right. But the problem is,
• 20:26
  Speaker 1: you know, whether it's that they get bored, like Mike said,
• 20:28
  Speaker 1: you know, like talking about Josh Boyer, or just you know,
• 20:34
  Speaker 1: an inability to sort of recognize key moments. And I
• 20:37
  Speaker 1: think if you look at that game, and again, I'm
• 20:39
  Speaker 1: not killing Buffalo here, I'm just pointing out some things
• 20:42
  Speaker 1: that were really bad that Buffalo did in this game.
• 20:45
  Speaker 1: I'm not telling you that Buffalo stinks. Please don't take
• 20:47
  Speaker 1: it the wrong way like I'm telling you that the Bills.
• 20:50
  Speaker 1: Evan will say that, you know, the Bills blow now
• 20:53
  Speaker 1: because they lost a game they had no business losing.
• 20:56
  Speaker 1: But there were so many junctures in the game. So
• 21:00
  Speaker 1: you take a seventeen point lead with like a minute
• 21:02
  Speaker 1: and a half two minutes left in the third quarter,
• 21:04
  Speaker 1: and they just have a routine pitch out that goes
• 21:06
  Speaker 1: eighty one yards untouched. That can't happen, right, Like, literally,
• 21:10
  Speaker 1: all they have to do is make the make the
• 21:13
  Speaker 1: vikings go ten plays seventy five yards eighty one yards
• 21:16
  Speaker 1: in this case, ten plays eighty one yards. Now it's
• 21:19
  Speaker 1: like ten minutes left in the game and you're up
• 21:21
  Speaker 1: by ten as opposed to one play later, they go
• 21:23
  Speaker 1: eighty one yards on a running play untouched. That can't happen,
• 21:27
  Speaker 1: as McDermott, you know. Then they come back and they
• 21:30
  Speaker 1: go right down the field and they have a second
• 21:34
  Speaker 1: and two third and two fourth and two no runs.
• 21:39
  Speaker 1: They're just gonna you know, And on the second and
• 21:41
  Speaker 1: two play, it's a little screen they had set up
• 21:43
  Speaker 1: that got blown up in Josh Allen again, I love
• 21:46
  Speaker 1: Josh Allen. They blew it up and he just throws
• 21:49
  Speaker 1: it away. You're a horse. Just run around the end
• 21:52
  Speaker 1: and get the first down. Yeah, why are you giving
• 21:55
  Speaker 1: up on the play. He wasn't under pressure. Don't overthink
• 21:57
  Speaker 1: it like and then use your instincts. You're up ten.
• 22:02
  Speaker 1: I don't understand why this is the case now in
• 22:05
  Speaker 1: the NFL. In the modern NFL, field goals are bad.
• 22:09
  Speaker 1: You can't kick field goals, so you don't kick the
• 22:12
  Speaker 1: field goal, and you stay up ten instead of going
• 22:15
  Speaker 1: up thirteen. Right, you know, make them get two touchdowns
• 22:19
  Speaker 1: and get both extra points to beat you, which they
• 22:22
  Speaker 1: ultimately didn't do. They missed one of the extra points.
• 22:25
  Speaker 1: So there was a lot of different things in that game,
• 22:27
  Speaker 1: you know. And then don't even get me started. On
• 22:30
  Speaker 1: fourth and eighteen, the guy goes through an interception, like,
• 22:34
  Speaker 1: just knocked the ball down. Dumb thing, just dumb situation.
• 22:38
  Speaker 1: You happen to watch the German game, I got a
• 22:41
  Speaker 1: good I watched the very beginning and then I watched
• 22:44
  Speaker 1: the first half when when Brady was taking a knee
• 22:47
  Speaker 1: and idiot was calling timeouts. Yeah, thank you. Yeah, what
• 22:51
  Speaker 1: the hell was he doing? Yeah, it's like, so they
• 22:54
  Speaker 1: had the ball, they had a punt that got down
• 22:56
  Speaker 1: at the one yard line with like say, twenty five
• 22:58
  Speaker 1: seconds left in the half. See, I'll had two timeouts, right,
• 23:01
  Speaker 1: one knee does it? Brady just takes a knee and
• 23:03
  Speaker 1: they called times. Then they take another knee, he calls
• 23:07
  Speaker 1: another time. It's like and then the third time. You know,
• 23:09
  Speaker 1: it looked like Brady just wanted to rifle the ball
• 23:10
  Speaker 1: across the field right off. It's like, what are you doing?
• 23:14
  Speaker 1: Can't beat But again, like, as long as there's the
• 23:17
  Speaker 1: one time where Josh Allen does what he did Sunday,
• 23:21
  Speaker 1: I guess that's gonna win power bozos for wasting everybody's time.
• 23:23
  Speaker 1: I could see if it was like the Super Bowl. Yeah,
• 23:26
  Speaker 1: you know, like you use them, you know, you you know,
• 23:28
  Speaker 1: but oh my god, I was like, Pete, what are
• 23:31
  Speaker 1: you doing? If that was a night game here, we
• 23:33
  Speaker 1: would be very mad up in the press box. I
• 23:34
  Speaker 1: was mad just watching at home. Yeah, what did you
• 23:38
  Speaker 1: think about them going for two at the end, that
• 23:40
  Speaker 1: that was in the right play, That wasn't the right
• 23:44
  Speaker 1: You're you're down twelve exactly. So they ultimately got the
• 23:47
  Speaker 1: ball back with a chance the head and again right,
• 23:50
  Speaker 1: and they needed two touchdowns instead of a touchdown in
• 23:52
  Speaker 1: the field exactly. I know they'll tell you what they needed,
• 23:55
  Speaker 1: a two point or anyway. It doesn't get I get it.
• 23:57
  Speaker 1: I get it. But I know you could have prolonged
• 24:00
  Speaker 1: the game and you didn't. I was thinking the same thing, Paul.
• 24:03
  Speaker 1: And then when Brady throws the pick, yeah, you know
• 24:07
  Speaker 1: you're Brady throws his first pick in four hundred passes
• 24:09
  Speaker 1: and you can't even benefit a firm because you're still
• 24:11
  Speaker 1: down two touchdowns? Right right? Would you guys think of Minnesota?
• 24:16
  Speaker 1: I mean, as that's stacking up for you know, change.
• 24:18
  Speaker 1: They showed some toughness. But yeah, people are gonna make
• 24:23
  Speaker 1: fun of me. I still like I still watched kerk
• 24:26
  Speaker 1: Cuttins throw the ball right to the other team a
• 24:28
  Speaker 1: couple of times. It didn't really seem like anything was
• 24:31
  Speaker 1: going except for Justin Jefferson making incredible individual plays. I mean,
• 24:37
  Speaker 1: they were a good team. That's a good team. You
• 24:39
  Speaker 1: can't say an eaton one team is not good. I
• 24:41
  Speaker 1: just don't think they're great, and I still think that
• 24:43
  Speaker 1: they're very lucky very lucky. The one good thing that
• 24:47
  Speaker 1: I think they came out of this, I think without
• 24:49
  Speaker 1: I haven't read too much about this, but I didn't
• 24:52
  Speaker 1: really see a lot of changes and differences in the
• 24:54
  Speaker 1: way Josh Allen played physically, did you know. I mean,
• 24:58
  Speaker 1: I didn't think he was like, didn't practice all week.
• 25:00
  Speaker 1: I didn't think he was gunning it around like he
• 25:02
  Speaker 1: normally does. But he's gonna be He's gonna make it.
• 25:05
  Speaker 1: He threw for three hundred and thirty yards. He felt
• 25:08
  Speaker 1: right on it a couple of times too. Ya seemed
• 25:10
  Speaker 1: like he was favorite it or protecting. He looked like
• 25:12
  Speaker 1: after the first interception that he threw on the fourth
• 25:14
  Speaker 1: down play, it's not about impact, it's about strain, right, yeah, right,
• 25:21
  Speaker 1: And I mean it's I'm sure it's not feeling great.
• 25:23
  Speaker 1: But for a guy not to practice all week and
• 25:25
  Speaker 1: still play like that, and even like the last throw
• 25:28
  Speaker 1: that was picked off, like if if you're gonna try
• 25:30
  Speaker 1: to even make that throw, I gotta imagine you feel
• 25:32
  Speaker 1: okay about how it feels. By that point, it's another overtime,
• 25:35
  Speaker 1: another bad another bad situation. Though it's like you're just
• 25:39
  Speaker 1: moving the ball at will right down the field. They
• 25:42
  Speaker 1: had a play on first down, they took a shot
• 25:43
  Speaker 1: in the end zone. It was there, and there was
• 25:45
  Speaker 1: blatant pass in afference. They didn't call on Minnesota, so
• 25:49
  Speaker 1: then they just go right back to the end zone.
• 25:50
  Speaker 1: I thought that was a drop by Matt right from
• 25:52
  Speaker 1: the twenty five yard line ish right, Yeah, just like
• 25:55
  Speaker 1: run a play yet a little closer. And you know,
• 25:59
  Speaker 1: at the very at least they should have said to themselves,
• 26:01
  Speaker 1: we're either going to kick a field goal and tie
• 26:03
  Speaker 1: this game as time expires, or we're gonna give ourselves
• 26:06
  Speaker 1: a chance to win it. Why did they have to
• 26:08
  Speaker 1: win it from the twenty five? Like I just think,
• 26:12
  Speaker 1: and that's Josh Allen Like that to me is part
• 26:15
  Speaker 1: that's gonna be at least partly fall on Josh Allen shoulders.
• 26:18
  Speaker 1: Yeah again, I'm not killing him. I'm not telling you
• 26:21
  Speaker 1: he's overrated. I'm not telling you any of that crap.
• 26:23
  Speaker 1: He's excellent. Yeah, but he I think that's like multiple
• 26:26
  Speaker 1: deceptions in like three games in a row. He eats
• 26:29
  Speaker 1: a little loose with the ball. He's turning into a
• 26:31
  Speaker 1: little passn't been, yeah, but he has been lately. He's
• 26:33
  Speaker 1: turning a little bit into Brett Farve, you know, a
• 26:36
  Speaker 1: little bit, you know, a little bit um returnovers for him,
• 26:40
  Speaker 1: you know, down the stretch of that game, you know,
• 26:42
  Speaker 1: two in the fourth quarter, one and overtime, Like you
• 26:44
  Speaker 1: can't have that. The other thing, we talked about it
• 26:46
  Speaker 1: last week and I'm kind of and I We're talking
• 26:49
  Speaker 1: about the Jeff Saturday and I said, you know, that
• 26:52
  Speaker 1: was the wrong thing to do. You don't do that.
• 26:54
  Speaker 1: Now I wish I didn't wasn't strong because now I
• 26:57
  Speaker 1: mean the hue and cry about how you know Arthsay
• 27:00
  Speaker 1: violated this whole thing. I still think it was kind
• 27:04
  Speaker 1: of you know, you don't do that. But he ends
• 27:06
  Speaker 1: up winning the game, you know, but people are still
• 27:10
  Speaker 1: saying that, you know, it was just an insult to
• 27:12
  Speaker 1: the coaching fraternity to have hired him. It just depends
• 27:17
  Speaker 1: on the context. I guess, you know, if Ersay made
• 27:19
  Speaker 1: it clear to the team that it's just a placeholder, Yeah,
• 27:22
  Speaker 1: I just need somebody for this year and then we'll
• 27:25
  Speaker 1: go through the normal channels next year. But I mean
• 27:29
  Speaker 1: that was a big topic. You know. Of course, you know,
• 27:31
  Speaker 1: they won the game, so everybody was talking about it
• 27:34
  Speaker 1: or Josh Man, they're just struggling. Well, I guess um, uh,
• 27:41
  Speaker 1: you know what's his name? The owner Davis came out
• 27:43
  Speaker 1: and gave him a vote of confidence. But you know,
• 27:46
  Speaker 1: we'll see. I think you can't fire him after one year.
• 27:50
  Speaker 1: You gotta really, Oh absolutely, I'm not telling you I would,
• 27:54
  Speaker 1: but I could. Yeah, but you'd have to be like
• 27:56
  Speaker 1: a real idiot, right. I think if he's lost the
• 28:00
  Speaker 1: locker room, like, I mean, that team won whatever it
• 28:04
  Speaker 1: was ten games last year and made the playoffs, true
• 28:06
  Speaker 1: with an interim head coach, and now he comes in
• 28:09
  Speaker 1: by all accounts, with an improved roster and they're two
• 28:13
  Speaker 1: and seven. Yeah, that's that's true. It's if you put
• 28:16
  Speaker 1: it that way, then it's not like he took over
• 28:18
  Speaker 1: a two and fourteen teen Yeah. How much is Ziegler
• 28:21
  Speaker 1: being there complicate that? Though? Yeah, I don't think he's
• 28:23
  Speaker 1: going anywhere. I think he's I think I believe Mark
• 28:27
  Speaker 1: Davis when that voter conference. Now, Jim mrs. They did
• 28:30
  Speaker 1: the same thing to Frank Reich and fired him like
• 28:32
  Speaker 1: a five days later. You know, I mean, Chris and
• 28:35
  Speaker 1: Frank I have a wonderful relationship with him. They're not
• 28:37
  Speaker 1: going anywhere. But then he fired him now I kind
• 28:40
  Speaker 1: of think that Reich demanded that Matt Ryan play and
• 28:45
  Speaker 1: that's why he and it was as much of a
• 28:47
  Speaker 1: resignation as a fire in my in my mind. No
• 28:50
  Speaker 1: no knowledge whatsoever on that, just my feel. And then
• 28:54
  Speaker 1: I think he might have gone to Jeff Saturday and said,
• 28:57
  Speaker 1: you know, I need you to come in and do this,
• 28:59
  Speaker 1: and maybe say Day said, yeah, I'll clean up your mess,
• 29:01
  Speaker 1: but you gotta let me play the best, the best play.
• 29:04
  Speaker 1: You know, why don't you? Yeah? Right, because I think
• 29:08
  Speaker 1: that would happen with with Jim Mursey is People rightly
• 29:12
  Speaker 1: said this isn't right what he's doing. It's clearly to
• 29:15
  Speaker 1: save money with the whole situation with Matt Ryan and
• 29:18
  Speaker 1: his playing time was going to kick in for next
• 29:21
  Speaker 1: year's salary in seventeen million or something, and I think
• 29:24
  Speaker 1: it the spotlight was on and he and he felt
• 29:27
  Speaker 1: the heat and he was like okay, And then Saturday said,
• 29:30
  Speaker 1: if you want me to do this, you want me
• 29:31
  Speaker 1: to clean up your mess, you at least gotta let me.
• 29:34
  Speaker 1: Gotta give me a shot, because right now I'm a
• 29:36
  Speaker 1: laughing stock. People think I'm not going to have a chance,
• 29:38
  Speaker 1: and I don't think that Jeff Saturday proved a damn
• 29:41
  Speaker 1: thing on Sunday other than the Colts are not a
• 29:44
  Speaker 1: bad team when they're out there, when the actual Colts play,
• 29:47
  Speaker 1: they're not a bad team. They have a winning record
• 29:49
  Speaker 1: with Matt Ryan and Jonathan Taylor, right, you know, like
• 29:52
  Speaker 1: everybody looked at the game that they played against the
• 29:53
  Speaker 1: Patriots and they said, oh my god, that team could
• 29:55
  Speaker 1: never win a game. I agree that team would never
• 29:57
  Speaker 1: win the game in the NFL. That team didn't play Sunday,
• 30:00
  Speaker 1: like to Josh. In Josh's defense, he didn't get a
• 30:03
  Speaker 1: chance to play the Colts that played the previous week. Yeah,
• 30:06
  Speaker 1: you know, but that team can play with Taylor and Ryan.
• 30:10
  Speaker 1: I wonder if they might even make a little bit
• 30:11
  Speaker 1: of a push here. Now I'm not saying that they will,
• 30:14
  Speaker 1: but they could and if and if they get themselves
• 30:16
  Speaker 1: in the playoff, Pitcher say, like a month from now,
• 30:20
  Speaker 1: you're gonna look back at those two games that they
• 30:21
  Speaker 1: just gave away, you know, putting Sam Ellinger. But if
• 30:24
  Speaker 1: they do make a push, do you consider hiring Saturday
• 30:28
  Speaker 1: full time? I don't know, it's gonna be tough. Yeah,
• 30:30
  Speaker 1: if they do, I'm not saying he doesn't deserve it.
• 30:32
  Speaker 1: Is that a good thing or a bad thing for
• 30:34
  Speaker 1: NFL coaching to have a guy who's never done it
• 30:36
  Speaker 1: come right in and be successful. I just think that
• 30:38
  Speaker 1: whenever you do this, there's just a weird period that
• 30:41
  Speaker 1: they doesn't really reflect who the coaches. It's just kind
• 30:43
  Speaker 1: of like, how does the team kind of respond to
• 30:45
  Speaker 1: this situation yet? Like the Panthers going through it too,
• 30:48
  Speaker 1: Like I don't know. I mean, you can maybe talk
• 30:50
  Speaker 1: about was a guy Rick Bisaccia was that who filled
• 30:53
  Speaker 1: Inchia filled in last year? I mean, that's kind of
• 30:55
  Speaker 1: an interesting one where he got into the playoffs. But
• 30:57
  Speaker 1: those guys were coaches. Yeah, this guy's not. That's a
• 31:01
  Speaker 1: unique guy like Steve Wilkes. This is it wasn't. He's
• 31:03
  Speaker 1: the guy, the interim guy in Carolina. It's not even
• 31:06
  Speaker 1: his first job. He's been a head coach before. That
• 31:10
  Speaker 1: is unique. Rispassage has had a wealth of NFL experience,
• 31:13
  Speaker 1: but people have really been up on their high horse.
• 31:17
  Speaker 1: Oh yeah, Oh Bill Cower, I was supposed it was
• 31:21
  Speaker 1: like PC seemed very very upset about it. Yeah, all right,
• 31:26
  Speaker 1: eight five five past five hundred as taken hot line,
• 31:29
  Speaker 1: um anything else before we go to the listeners just
• 31:33
  Speaker 1: gearing up for the Jets. I mean that's uh, you know,
• 31:35
  Speaker 1: guys talked yesterday. I just liked, you know, hearing from Slater.
• 31:37
  Speaker 1: I mean, everybody seems to understand every game is really
• 31:40
  Speaker 1: really big at this point, and oh yeah, you know
• 31:42
  Speaker 1: it's just is this a must win the Jets game?
• 31:45
  Speaker 1: I think it is. I think it is. I mean
• 31:46
  Speaker 1: if you want to make the playoffs, yeah, yeah, I
• 31:49
  Speaker 1: mean it's I think a lot of you know, debate
• 31:51
  Speaker 1: now of of what do you got to hit to
• 31:54
  Speaker 1: get in. I think the most important thing about beating
• 31:56
  Speaker 1: the Jets is if you do end up in a
• 31:58
  Speaker 1: tie with them for a wild card, you've got it. Yeah,
• 32:01
  Speaker 1: because you've beat him twice. Yeah, and that and it's
• 32:03
  Speaker 1: a small group of teams. It feels like you're going
• 32:04
  Speaker 1: to be in the mix with But I mean, in
• 32:06
  Speaker 1: some ways, I think this game is for last place
• 32:08
  Speaker 1: in the AFC East. I mean that, you know, if
• 32:10
  Speaker 1: you the loser of this game, I think probably going
• 32:12
  Speaker 1: to be in the last place. If you're five and
• 32:14
  Speaker 1: five and then the rest of the division is seven
• 32:16
  Speaker 1: and three, you're in trouble. Oh yeah, because you get
• 32:20
  Speaker 1: three teams ahead of you, you know, two teams ahead
• 32:22
  Speaker 1: of you for the wild card. Yeah, but I think
• 32:25
  Speaker 1: it's uh, you know, I think people are wondering out
• 32:27
  Speaker 1: as four and four get it done, and I think
• 32:29
  Speaker 1: that's you know, the cusp of probably not, probably not.
• 32:33
  Speaker 1: I mean it, so I think they're gonna do five
• 32:36
  Speaker 1: and three. I just think looking at the schedule for
• 32:38
  Speaker 1: these last eight games, that the Patriots are going to
• 32:40
  Speaker 1: be successful. They're gonna have to do things that they
• 32:42
  Speaker 1: they haven't been able to do the last three years.
• 32:44
  Speaker 1: They're gonna have to be They're probably gonna have to
• 32:46
  Speaker 1: steal I mean, I don't even want to get into
• 32:48
  Speaker 1: the two Buffalo in Miami games because I feel like
• 32:50
  Speaker 1: those are the tallest orders. But those other games, like
• 32:54
  Speaker 1: you have to you have to win them, you have to.
• 32:57
  Speaker 1: Supposedly at practice he was back. Yeah, Parker back, and
• 33:03
  Speaker 1: that's been David Andrews. No sign of any of our guys.
• 33:06
  Speaker 1: But Barmore, I mean, so you do have some pieces
• 33:09
  Speaker 1: maybe give you a little boost you Maybe this could
• 33:10
  Speaker 1: be the opposite of last year where they came back
• 33:12
  Speaker 1: from the buy and they tanked, and then this year
• 33:15
  Speaker 1: maybe they get better. Yeah, who knows. I mean, I
• 33:18
  Speaker 1: went back looked a little bit just about the last
• 33:20
  Speaker 1: three years, because I think, you know, they've really just
• 33:23
  Speaker 1: faded in the last three seasons. And I mean, you know,
• 33:25
  Speaker 1: a big part of it, like just looking at it,
• 33:27
  Speaker 1: lack of lack of takeaways on defense, it just seems
• 33:29
  Speaker 1: like the takeaways seemed to completely dry up now toward
• 33:32
  Speaker 1: the end of the season. So I don't you're just
• 33:35
  Speaker 1: I think the biggest thing is just hoping that the
• 33:37
  Speaker 1: offense can suddenly look competent, you know, can suddenly look
• 33:41
  Speaker 1: like they can win some of these games, because I
• 33:43
  Speaker 1: don't I don't know how they win more than one
• 33:46
  Speaker 1: or two of them if their offense doesn't suddenly start
• 33:49
  Speaker 1: playing much better than we've seen them play over these
• 33:52
  Speaker 1: three months. Going back into training camp, all right, let's
• 33:56
  Speaker 1: let's start talking to the listeners. Maybe you should read
• 34:00
  Speaker 1: the emails. I don't know if I should. Yeah, all right,
• 34:03
  Speaker 1: but anyway, we'll start with Patty and Agawam. What's up, Patty,
• 34:07
  Speaker 1: I'm sitting here still in disbelief that Pauli's never tapped
• 34:10
  Speaker 1: the kig before. Not the way you do it in Germany,
• 34:15
  Speaker 1: the real way. Had a couple of questions um, pump
• 34:21
  Speaker 1: the kick and I'll think them both, you know, off
• 34:24
  Speaker 1: the air. But to me, I see this too. But like,
• 34:28
  Speaker 1: I think one of the bigger problems with Mac is
• 34:31
  Speaker 1: it looks like he's trying to escape the pocket instead
• 34:34
  Speaker 1: of stepping up into it and not keeping his eyes
• 34:37
  Speaker 1: down field. And um, well it's there's no place to
• 34:40
  Speaker 1: step up at I mean the last few games, there
• 34:42
  Speaker 1: hasn't been any place to step up, you know. So yeah,
• 34:46
  Speaker 1: but even before I mean before the Anders injury, I
• 34:50
  Speaker 1: wanted to hear what you guys thought about that, and
• 34:52
  Speaker 1: I agree, I think pocket presence has been a problem
• 34:54
  Speaker 1: for Yeah, he does look a little frantic back there,
• 34:58
  Speaker 1: drifting into pressure. Sometimes frantic feels like ye, thinking back
• 35:02
  Speaker 1: some of those early games where it felt like, why
• 35:04
  Speaker 1: are you going right? That's where the pressures, You're walking
• 35:06
  Speaker 1: right into it. I agree. I just I don't think
• 35:09
  Speaker 1: there hasn't been a lot of cases this year when
• 35:11
  Speaker 1: they get pressure where he like makes a little subtle
• 35:13
  Speaker 1: step and delivers the ball. It just feels like once
• 35:16
  Speaker 1: there's pressure and it breaks down. Even in Iota, he's
• 35:19
  Speaker 1: kind of that that's it, you know. Yeah, all right, Patty.
• 35:26
  Speaker 1: The second question is do you think anybody, any prognasticator analysts,
• 35:31
  Speaker 1: predicted the AFC to be this competitive and possibly the
• 35:34
  Speaker 1: best division in football. Well, I think a lot of
• 35:36
  Speaker 1: people thought it'd be really competitive, and no one saw
• 35:38
  Speaker 1: the Jets doing this, right, that's no, I don't I
• 35:40
  Speaker 1: don't know anybody that said, you know what, watch out
• 35:43
  Speaker 1: for the Jets. I don't know one person. No one
• 35:44
  Speaker 1: said that. But I think, you know the arms race
• 35:47
  Speaker 1: that happened in the AFC West. I think people thought
• 35:49
  Speaker 1: that Broncos would be better, the Charges would be better.
• 35:52
  Speaker 1: And he was asking if anyone saw the AFC East.
• 35:54
  Speaker 1: I thought, I thought he meant the East. Oh yeah, No,
• 36:00
  Speaker 1: nobody thought that Jets. I didn't know. I don't know
• 36:02
  Speaker 1: anybody who saw the Jets being a playoff contender. And
• 36:05
  Speaker 1: I just felt unsure of what TOUA would look like
• 36:08
  Speaker 1: with full health and now Tyreek Hill involved, and obviously
• 36:12
  Speaker 1: it's it's worked out marvelously for them. All right, Thanks, Patty,
• 36:17
  Speaker 1: appreciate the call. You want to read some emails, Yeah,
• 36:22
  Speaker 1: there you go. You got a lot of emails, A
• 36:24
  Speaker 1: lot of emails. How to work I tried to how
• 36:26
  Speaker 1: to work the microscopt I do and last time I
• 36:29
  Speaker 1: tried to say that and Paul left me hanging on
• 36:31
  Speaker 1: the Why didn't you read some of them? Oh? Sorry, yeah,
• 36:33
  Speaker 1: I didn't know what the uh did you pull this
• 36:36
  Speaker 1: one up from Travis? Did you want me to read it?
• 36:38
  Speaker 1: I was just going I go through them while people
• 36:40
  Speaker 1: are talking, Oh this, Uh, I'm not going to read
• 36:42
  Speaker 1: that one though. Okay, all right, these are good radio.
• 36:47
  Speaker 1: I'm trying to find some good ones. Here are here's going? Um? Hi, guys,
• 36:52
  Speaker 1: this is from Philippe and Rio de Janeiro. What would
• 36:55
  Speaker 1: be a realistic expectation for improvement of the offense after
• 36:57
  Speaker 1: the bye week? Any radical change in the playbook? Better execution?
• 37:00
  Speaker 1: Thank you well. Even Bill says that you have to
• 37:02
  Speaker 1: make scheme adjustment, you know, So what does that exactly mean?
• 37:07
  Speaker 1: I don't know, but you know we are going to
• 37:10
  Speaker 1: see changes, I'm pretty sure, you know. I don't know
• 37:12
  Speaker 1: if it's going to be Evan's r PO thing or
• 37:15
  Speaker 1: or flopping the low line, yeah, or more personnel related,
• 37:19
  Speaker 1: but I think we will see changes. That was an
• 37:21
  Speaker 1: interesting conversation we had Fred while you were out on Thursday. Evan,
• 37:24
  Speaker 1: Paul and I talking about the offensive line, and I
• 37:27
  Speaker 1: thought these guys kind of had an interesting thing of
• 37:29
  Speaker 1: um of not flopping the tackles, but flopping on when
• 37:32
  Speaker 1: you and Win and putting Win at right guard and
• 37:34
  Speaker 1: putting on when you back at right tackle. And I
• 37:37
  Speaker 1: thought that was kind of an interesting switch. And a
• 37:39
  Speaker 1: lot of people are talking about, hey do you do
• 37:40
  Speaker 1: you reflip the tackles again, But then you're kind of
• 37:44
  Speaker 1: left with Isaiah Win not playing great clostering, it's not
• 37:47
  Speaker 1: playing great on your left side, and then probably your
• 37:49
  Speaker 1: two most consistent guys on the right side. So I
• 37:52
  Speaker 1: don't know, I thought that was kind of an interesting conversation.
• 37:55
  Speaker 1: At some point, you got to settle, you know, you
• 37:58
  Speaker 1: got to settle that line. Yeah. I think that's that's
• 38:00
  Speaker 1: what we kind of jumped off on Thursday, is they
• 38:03
  Speaker 1: didn't need to They need to settle on the five
• 38:04
  Speaker 1: guys they want to play and just kind of leave
• 38:06
  Speaker 1: it alone if healthy. And that's I mean in order
• 38:10
  Speaker 1: to improve that, the past protection has to get better.
• 38:14
  Speaker 1: I mean, I don't know about dramatic scheme changes. Yeah,
• 38:18
  Speaker 1: I mean you're gonna fall into plays you know that
• 38:21
  Speaker 1: maybe you feel like a little bit better about than
• 38:23
  Speaker 1: maybe call a little bit more often. But I don't
• 38:26
  Speaker 1: think you're dramatically going to change your approach. I don't
• 38:30
  Speaker 1: think you can do that in the middle of the season.
• 38:32
  Speaker 1: You know, maybe you lean more on some of the player,
• 38:34
  Speaker 1: you know, maybe get away from the zone runs all
• 38:36
  Speaker 1: together and just stick with the gap runs that have
• 38:39
  Speaker 1: been more successful. I don't know. I'm not you know,
• 38:41
  Speaker 1: I'm not an offensive coordinator. But whatever it is that
• 38:44
  Speaker 1: you feel like you do a little bit better than
• 38:45
  Speaker 1: the other things, gravitate to that a little bit more often.
• 38:49
  Speaker 1: I would like to see them continue to try to
• 38:51
  Speaker 1: evolve offensively and not just go back into the safe
• 38:54
  Speaker 1: stuff that that worked last year, you know, to an extent.
• 38:59
  Speaker 1: I'd to try to fight through these problems and figure
• 39:02
  Speaker 1: out how to get more explosive offensively. Yeah, I think
• 39:05
  Speaker 1: they put in any uh like tricky stuff, put in
• 39:08
  Speaker 1: like the Jacoby Myers. We haven't seen that, Yeah, I
• 39:10
  Speaker 1: mean you can always see stuff that those kind of
• 39:11
  Speaker 1: little things. I mean, yeah, but I think how we
• 39:13
  Speaker 1: thought about it, I mean it's like, oh, I know it,
• 39:16
  Speaker 1: resorting to it because they have to know. And I'm
• 39:19
  Speaker 1: not I'm not a post I'm not appost a trick place.
• 39:21
  Speaker 1: I'm talking about scheme changes, like, that's not a scheme
• 39:25
  Speaker 1: change to me, to throw a wrinkle in a double yeah,
• 39:29
  Speaker 1: when you say scheme change, I just feel like, to me,
• 39:31
  Speaker 1: it's what section of the playbook do you feel like
• 39:33
  Speaker 1: you need to lean more into? Not we need to
• 39:36
  Speaker 1: completely start over. It's just probably I think I think,
• 39:41
  Speaker 1: you know why, you have to ask yourself, why did Bill?
• 39:45
  Speaker 1: Why did Bill say that? You know, because he usually
• 39:47
  Speaker 1: doesn't like even though that's pretty broad, he doesn't even
• 39:50
  Speaker 1: get that pacific speci when did he like? And what
• 39:53
  Speaker 1: it was? It was a pre buy just a pre
• 39:55
  Speaker 1: buy press conference, and they said, you know, what will
• 39:57
  Speaker 1: you be working on? You know, blah blah blah, and
• 40:00
  Speaker 1: it's like, well, you know, we're going to be making
• 40:01
  Speaker 1: some scheme adjustments. So I think that's coach speaking well.
• 40:05
  Speaker 1: I think I think it's him saying I wasn't really
• 40:10
  Speaker 1: on board with this whole offensive zone thing. You could
• 40:13
  Speaker 1: have ye be right, but I you know, see, I
• 40:16
  Speaker 1: do listen to others, and sometimes I let people do
• 40:19
  Speaker 1: things and then when they fail, I decide that we're
• 40:22
  Speaker 1: going to go back. Yeah, and I think that's what
• 40:24
  Speaker 1: he was saying. I just think this is the offensive
• 40:26
  Speaker 1: performance has been so egregious over these like there's no
• 40:30
  Speaker 1: secret to it, like like they know it, like they
• 40:33
  Speaker 1: they were watching when we're watching too. They've been watching
• 40:35
  Speaker 1: what we've been watching for two months and it's not
• 40:37
  Speaker 1: like one of those things like where oh are We
• 40:40
  Speaker 1: just kind of like sometimes I feel like we just
• 40:42
  Speaker 1: get caught up in a thing and the medium. We're
• 40:44
  Speaker 1: just you know, going in circles talking about one thing
• 40:46
  Speaker 1: and we're obsessed with it and in reality, you know,
• 40:48
  Speaker 1: I think I like I go to like the whole
• 40:50
  Speaker 1: zone read thing like you know, or zone runs, like
• 40:53
  Speaker 1: when we were obsessed with that, and you know, how
• 40:55
  Speaker 1: much are they? Like what is why is everyone so
• 40:57
  Speaker 1: obsessed with this? Like you know, yeah, it's a little part.
• 40:59
  Speaker 1: We're trying to do more, but they're acting like this
• 41:01
  Speaker 1: is like we're reinventing the wheel here. But I think
• 41:03
  Speaker 1: that this is the offense has been so bad that
• 41:05
  Speaker 1: like you just you can't sweep it under the rug.
• 41:07
  Speaker 1: They have to do something. It has to be better.
• 41:09
  Speaker 1: You're looking at eight games, like the real season is
• 41:11
  Speaker 1: starting now. If you've got anything in the bag or
• 41:14
  Speaker 1: any hope of making the playoffs, like now is the
• 41:16
  Speaker 1: time to figure it out. Let's go back to the emails. Okay,
• 41:22
  Speaker 1: Oh sorry, is that not appropriate? Liam Scotland Ways writes
• 41:26
  Speaker 1: in and he feels says, it feels like Judean will
• 41:28
  Speaker 1: be nailed on for the Pro Bowl. But do you
• 41:30
  Speaker 1: think he will break tips franchise single season sack record.
• 41:33
  Speaker 1: I think that it's that eighteen. I think it's eighteen,
• 41:36
  Speaker 1: and I think Judan is in a half eleven and
• 41:38
  Speaker 1: a half, so needs seven and eight. Got a shot?
• 41:44
  Speaker 1: How's that? All you need is one big game? And
• 41:46
  Speaker 1: then it's gonna be tough, though. I mean you're gonna
• 41:48
  Speaker 1: get you gotta get Josh Allen down. That's tough. Kyler
• 41:51
  Speaker 1: Murray not easy to get him down either. There are
• 41:54
  Speaker 1: some much you do have the Jets coming up this weekend.
• 41:56
  Speaker 1: You'll probably have two this weekend. You know, give it
• 42:00
  Speaker 1: to us, Zach Wilson, give it to us, please. I
• 42:03
  Speaker 1: like it. Like if you're we'll get into it, you
• 42:05
  Speaker 1: know tomorrow. But if you're the Jets, you know, mission
• 42:10
  Speaker 1: number one for this game is getting his mind right.
• 42:14
  Speaker 1: You know, this is what we want you to do.
• 42:17
  Speaker 1: That's all we want you to do. Don't think of
• 42:19
  Speaker 1: anything beyond that. You know, to me, mission number one
• 42:22
  Speaker 1: for the Jets should be We're not going to ask
• 42:24
  Speaker 1: our quarterback to throw the ball forty plus times, right right.
• 42:27
  Speaker 1: We're gonna look at the teams that have had success
• 42:29
  Speaker 1: against the Patriots, and we're gonna try to follow some
• 42:31
  Speaker 1: of the the blueprint of how teams if we see
• 42:34
  Speaker 1: a kick a field goal, We're gonna kick a field
• 42:36
  Speaker 1: when we have a when we have a bad offense,
• 42:38
  Speaker 1: We're not going to go into the game and pretend
• 42:40
  Speaker 1: that we have the Bills offense and throw it all
• 42:42
  Speaker 1: over the yard. We're gonna play to our strengths, run
• 42:45
  Speaker 1: the ball, punt, kick field goals, and play defense. Yeah,
• 42:50
  Speaker 1: we didn't mention the Green Bay beating the Cowboys, which
• 42:53
  Speaker 1: I was mildly surprised about. Well, that was another colossal choke.
• 42:57
  Speaker 1: I mean, you're seeing Christian Watson here though, too. I mean,
• 42:59
  Speaker 1: he uh, you know, guy was. I think it just
• 43:01
  Speaker 1: shows some of the progress of him and the rookies.
• 43:04
  Speaker 1: I mean, I really liked him coming out three touchdowns,
• 43:06
  Speaker 1: I mean four catches, but but you know he was
• 43:08
  Speaker 1: dropping those earlier in the year, So I mean it's
• 43:10
  Speaker 1: just I thought it showed what I thought would kind
• 43:12
  Speaker 1: of start to happen a little bit, some of those
• 43:13
  Speaker 1: young guys him and jobs would get can come on
• 43:16
  Speaker 1: a little bit. But I don't know if it's too
• 43:18
  Speaker 1: little too late at this point. For yeah, no, I
• 43:21
  Speaker 1: think Green Bay's done. But you know, in terms of
• 43:23
  Speaker 1: like it just shows you how flawed everybody is. Like
• 43:28
  Speaker 1: I know when people make fun of me, like you
• 43:29
  Speaker 1: don't think anybody's good, and that's probably largely true. I don't.
• 43:33
  Speaker 1: I think there are a couple of good teams, and
• 43:35
  Speaker 1: there are a couple of really bad ones, and then
• 43:37
  Speaker 1: there's like twenty six teams that are kind of the
• 43:39
  Speaker 1: same in the middle, you know. And Dallas had no
• 43:43
  Speaker 1: business losing that yet fourteen point lead in the fourth
• 43:45
  Speaker 1: quarter against the team that hasn't been able to move
• 43:47
  Speaker 1: the ball all year long, Like that game's got to
• 43:50
  Speaker 1: be over and you lose. And it's another team, by
• 43:55
  Speaker 1: the way, that refuses to kick field goals, Well, why
• 43:57
  Speaker 1: why go up a field goal and over time? Why
• 43:59
  Speaker 1: what do you want to do that? For? No, we'll
• 44:01
  Speaker 1: just go for it on fourth down. You need a
• 44:02
  Speaker 1: Nick Folk. Travis is running. He's not mad. He I
• 44:06
  Speaker 1: wasn't gonna It's not even mad. This is listener on
• 44:08
  Speaker 1: listener crime. But I guess you know he's calling me out,
• 44:10
  Speaker 1: saying censorship and YadA, YadA YadA. So don't let him
• 44:14
  Speaker 1: get to here. We don't do any of that here.
• 44:17
  Speaker 1: Now I'm gonna let it, he says, am I allowed
• 44:19
  Speaker 1: to call out other PU listeners slash callers if so,
• 44:22
  Speaker 1: I would like to call out Todd in North Carolina
• 44:24
  Speaker 1: for being a fraud whoa a week or two ago,
• 44:27
  Speaker 1: you called him out for all the background noise when
• 44:29
  Speaker 1: he called into the show. He claimed he didn't know
• 44:31
  Speaker 1: why there was so much noise, and then he might
• 44:33
  Speaker 1: have been doing dishes or something. I have a hard
• 44:35
  Speaker 1: time believing this story. Why would he know well, why
• 44:38
  Speaker 1: would he not know what he was doing when he
• 44:39
  Speaker 1: called him? The show seems like something you remember, love
• 44:43
  Speaker 1: you Todd? Just having fun and then he calls us
• 44:47
  Speaker 1: out for our background noise. So yeah, we're having some
• 44:49
  Speaker 1: construction here, Tray. It was funny that the day that
• 44:52
  Speaker 1: Fred was really adamant about the background noise, we did
• 44:55
  Speaker 1: have an incredible amount of construction going on in the state.
• 44:58
  Speaker 1: What was going on out there in this show, man?
• 45:00
  Speaker 1: What was what was that thing you had to go
• 45:02
  Speaker 1: out and murder someone for us. She's drilling on the
• 45:03
  Speaker 1: other side of the wall right there. She said she
• 45:05
  Speaker 1: had one whole left to do, so I let her
• 45:06
  Speaker 1: finish that. Good for you, vote us. How quiet's been sense?
• 45:13
  Speaker 1: And then he extracted her. Yeah, all right again, Sorry, sorry,
• 45:18
  Speaker 1: little frog in my throat. There another one, and this
• 45:20
  Speaker 1: is I don't really think this is a question, but
• 45:22
  Speaker 1: this is uh. I think maybe from Fred around the
• 45:24
  Speaker 1: draft a couple of years ago. I hope Stin Jefferson
• 45:27
  Speaker 1: comes from Matt. He says. I hope Bill and his
• 45:30
  Speaker 1: quote unquote coaching staff was watching the end of the
• 45:33
  Speaker 1: Vikings Bills game because Justin Jefferson is what a number
• 45:36
  Speaker 1: one ride receiver looks like. He makes big plays when
• 45:38
  Speaker 1: needed and is a playmaker. If we're ever going to
• 45:40
  Speaker 1: be a good team again, we need playmakers with actual
• 45:42
  Speaker 1: offensive play callers to keep up with the Bills and
• 45:44
  Speaker 1: the Chiefs. I think our defense is closer if they
• 45:46
  Speaker 1: stay healthy. And Josh Allen is playing hero ball right now,
• 45:49
  Speaker 1: which makes him make mistakes. Jack Jones can make the
• 45:52
  Speaker 1: big stop, the big something we need to stop the
• 45:54
  Speaker 1: Bills if we can keep up on offense. So Yeah,
• 45:57
  Speaker 1: there you go. Fred, it's your boy Justin Jeffers and
• 46:00
  Speaker 1: they just listen to you like them. I mean that guys.
• 46:02
  Speaker 1: I like Christian Watson too, by the way, for the Packers,
• 46:06
  Speaker 1: so like him better when he's catching them rather than
• 46:07
  Speaker 1: than dropping him. Talk amongst yourselves. I gotta find another email.
• 46:13
  Speaker 1: Head's good. Yeah, I mean it's not as easy as
• 46:15
  Speaker 1: it look. So, I mean, but the part about like,
• 46:20
  Speaker 1: I think it's easy to look at when you play
• 46:21
  Speaker 1: against the high powered offenses and you're like, oh, can
• 46:24
  Speaker 1: they keep up? Well, we have the pieces to slow
• 46:27
  Speaker 1: them down. Well, which is it like Jack Jones can
• 46:29
  Speaker 1: make a play to slow Buffalo down. If we can
• 46:32
  Speaker 1: keep up, well, why do we have to slow them down?
• 46:36
  Speaker 1: If we can keep up, eventually you gotta make a
• 46:38
  Speaker 1: stop it. No, But my point is, if you had
• 46:41
  Speaker 1: confidence that you could slow Buffalo down, you wouldn't be
• 46:44
  Speaker 1: as worried about the offense not being able to keep up. Now,
• 46:46
  Speaker 1: I am absolutely on board with I am concerned that
• 46:50
  Speaker 1: the Patriots offense will have trouble keeping up with those teams.
• 46:54
  Speaker 1: I do, but like, if I thought that the Patriots
• 46:57
  Speaker 1: could hold those teams down the way they've held other
• 46:59
  Speaker 1: teams down wouldn't be as worried about the offense. Yeah,
• 47:01
  Speaker 1: but these these are the elite office offenses and it's
• 47:05
  Speaker 1: the NFL. Like if you had reasons for pessimism, like,
• 47:08
  Speaker 1: we have a lot of reasons for optimism. And I
• 47:10
  Speaker 1: think I started off by self like, I just think
• 47:11
  Speaker 1: the offense can't possibly get way. I think it's rock bottom.
• 47:14
  Speaker 1: I think it has to be better in the second half.
• 47:16
  Speaker 1: It can't be worse. So I think that's a reason
• 47:19
  Speaker 1: for optimism. I think they have to get better upfront.
• 47:22
  Speaker 1: I think Mac Jones has to play better than he
• 47:24
  Speaker 1: played in the first half. You have, you have to
• 47:26
  Speaker 1: expect that some things will improve. But defensively, you know,
• 47:32
  Speaker 1: this is the last week. This Jets game is the
• 47:34
  Speaker 1: last week where you're beating up on teams that can't
• 47:36
  Speaker 1: move the ball. You know, from the rest of the
• 47:39
  Speaker 1: way in And I'm not telling you they're going to
• 47:41
  Speaker 1: give up thirty plus in every game on the way in,
• 47:43
  Speaker 1: but the rest of the way and you have offenses
• 47:45
  Speaker 1: that can punch back, and I don't know, I don't
• 47:49
  Speaker 1: I don't know how that's going to go. They might
• 47:50
  Speaker 1: be able to hold Minnesota down. They might hold Arizona down.
• 47:53
  Speaker 1: They might hold the Raiders down. God knows everybody else
• 47:55
  Speaker 1: is holding the Raiders down, but I just don't see
• 47:58
  Speaker 1: them doing it to all of them, you know. So
• 48:02
  Speaker 1: the offense is going to have to carry some of
• 48:05
  Speaker 1: the load. Yeah, they've got If they're gonna be any
• 48:07
  Speaker 1: better than you know, four and four in the last
• 48:09
  Speaker 1: eight games, you're gonna have to have to get more offensive. Absolutely,
• 48:13
  Speaker 1: And can they get can they get to five wins?
• 48:15
  Speaker 1: I mean it's it's I can I can talk to
• 48:17
  Speaker 1: myself into this Jets game, But after that, it's there's
• 48:20
  Speaker 1: reason to say you're gonna win at least one of
• 48:26
  Speaker 1: the two West Coast games, right I think, you know,
• 48:28
  Speaker 1: I think so, I think you could. Yeah, you'll win
• 48:31
  Speaker 1: one of the two. But it's gonna be hard to
• 48:33
  Speaker 1: win both. Yeah, you know. And it's just I think
• 48:36
  Speaker 1: it's gonna be hard to win one. Well, you know
• 48:39
  Speaker 1: what I mean. Cargos are coming on. I mean it's
• 48:41
  Speaker 1: hard to know. What would you think what's more likely
• 48:44
  Speaker 1: one and one and two or two? One? Oh? Right now,
• 48:48
  Speaker 1: I would say one on one. Yeah, I reserve the
• 48:51
  Speaker 1: right to change my mind when the two games come. Sure,
• 48:54
  Speaker 1: it's really hard to know what what the state of
• 48:56
  Speaker 1: the Raiders are like. If they were playing the Raiders Sunday,
• 48:58
  Speaker 1: I would I would bet everything I have on the Patriots,
• 49:01
  Speaker 1: But that might not be the case. In a month.
• 49:03
  Speaker 1: They're gonna get a little bit more healthy, get some
• 49:05
  Speaker 1: guys back, I mean yeah, and you might go the
• 49:08
  Speaker 1: other way because you've had incredible luck with your your health.
• 49:11
  Speaker 1: You know that they have pretty much a full school.
• 49:13
  Speaker 1: What are they missing time? Montgomery pretty much it right now? Yeah, yeah,
• 49:18
  Speaker 1: in a backup tackle. And Marcus Cannon, I mean you
• 49:21
  Speaker 1: assigned mid season, you know, so a month from now,
• 49:24
  Speaker 1: you might look at the health a little bit differently
• 49:26
  Speaker 1: than you look at it now. Like you know, the
• 49:28
  Speaker 1: charges the other night, I give the Charges all kinds
• 49:30
  Speaker 1: of props. The other night they showed me something in
• 49:32
  Speaker 1: defeat that they haven't ever been able to show me
• 49:34
  Speaker 1: in victory, like going to San Francisco and having a
• 49:37
  Speaker 1: chance to win that game in the fourth quarter with
• 49:39
  Speaker 1: the personnel that they were missing in that game. I
• 49:41
  Speaker 1: give them, I mean, I give them credit for that.
• 49:44
  Speaker 1: I didn't I didn't see that. I thought they were
• 49:45
  Speaker 1: going to get their doors blown off. Arizona feels like
• 49:47
  Speaker 1: a team the Arizonia and they're gonna never with Hopkins back,
• 49:51
  Speaker 1: and they'll be coming off their buy for that game too.
• 49:54
  Speaker 1: And I read my boy Badard talking about like, you
• 49:57
  Speaker 1: know what happens with them? Liked they you know, like listen,
• 50:01
  Speaker 1: obviously the Rams have all kinds of personnel issues too.
• 50:03
  Speaker 1: Their whole team is out too. But they beat the Rams,
• 50:06
  Speaker 1: a team that they never beat, and they found a
• 50:08
  Speaker 1: way to win that game. Do they build on that
• 50:11
  Speaker 1: and win another one or do they lose another couple
• 50:13
  Speaker 1: of maybe Cliff Kingsburgy gets fired. Like that's the the
• 50:16
  Speaker 1: scope that you're dealing with with the Cardinals. Who knows
• 50:19
  Speaker 1: what's going to happen with that team. Yeah, that's why
• 50:21
  Speaker 1: I have no idea like penciling in wins. I just
• 50:26
  Speaker 1: I feel like the season is starting now, like this
• 50:28
  Speaker 1: is like everything else was just there builds and most
• 50:30
  Speaker 1: of the games you have to win. Those are the
• 50:32
  Speaker 1: bad teams. Everybody else is over five hundred, right, I mean,
• 50:36
  Speaker 1: those are the games the Dolphins and the Bills. I mean,
• 50:41
  Speaker 1: I can't even get to that point with you know.
• 50:43
  Speaker 1: I mean, I think Minnesota there's something about they're very talented,
• 50:48
  Speaker 1: but I think they were straight up team with talents.
• 50:50
  Speaker 1: So I'd be a lot more worried if if they
• 50:52
  Speaker 1: had a mobile quarterback, because I think that that's kind
• 50:55
  Speaker 1: of a problem for the pages. But I think that
• 50:57
  Speaker 1: they'll they'll compete in that game, and I think they
• 50:58
  Speaker 1: have a chance to win that game, even as you know,
• 51:00
  Speaker 1: well as as Minnesota as I want to say, oh,
• 51:03
  Speaker 1: well they're playing, but oh it's gonna be a one
• 51:04
  Speaker 1: score game because Minnesota plays one score games. That's all
• 51:07
  Speaker 1: they do. Yeah, I mean, I think they'll have a chance,
• 51:09
  Speaker 1: but every single game, every single one. Let's get back
• 51:13
  Speaker 1: to the phone, so we'll go to Alan in Texas.
• 51:16
  Speaker 1: What's up Alan? Hey, guys, can you hear me? Okay? Yes, okay. Um.
• 51:23
  Speaker 1: First of all, I'm a long time listen to first
• 51:25
  Speaker 1: time caller m a New Yorker from Texas, Texas. Yeah. No,
• 51:30
  Speaker 1: I'm from Providence for an Island originally. I moved to
• 51:32
  Speaker 1: Texas ten years ago, all right, and actually used to
• 51:36
  Speaker 1: have the I used to subscribe to the PFW Nice
• 51:39
  Speaker 1: Football Weekly, so that used to keep me informed, thank you.
• 51:42
  Speaker 1: But my question, my question is about basically what Paul
• 51:46
  Speaker 1: was saying that he doesn't think there's really any good
• 51:48
  Speaker 1: football or not much good football. Um, the NFL has
• 51:53
  Speaker 1: been pushing for parody and longer of gain, you know,
• 51:56
  Speaker 1: longer seasons which we have less practice. And I watch
• 52:00
  Speaker 1: a lot of football besides the Patriots, and I got
• 52:02
  Speaker 1: to say, it's hard to find a good game to watch,
• 52:06
  Speaker 1: you know, because it just seems like the product has suffered.
• 52:09
  Speaker 1: And I'll take uh, you know, I'm just curious how
• 52:12
  Speaker 1: you guys feel about that, and I'll take it off
• 52:13
  Speaker 1: the year. Okay, Yeah, I think they were good games.
• 52:16
  Speaker 1: I just don't know how good the teams are they're
• 52:18
  Speaker 1: playing it now. The Minnesota Buffalo game, I think were
• 52:20
  Speaker 1: two good teams playing and there was incredibly entertaining, No
• 52:26
  Speaker 1: notwithstanding the end. But I mean if if that goal
• 52:29
  Speaker 1: line stand ended the game and then Bill's win thirty
• 52:31
  Speaker 1: to twenty six, are you any less entertained? Right? That
• 52:33
  Speaker 1: was a great game. But I think to Alan's point,
• 52:35
  Speaker 1: a lot of the games that like primetime games, yeah,
• 52:38
  Speaker 1: the Thursday yeah, yeah, the Thursday night games like that,
• 52:42
  Speaker 1: the length of the season that he brought up, I
• 52:44
  Speaker 1: think that those are factors. Yeah, those are factors. The
• 52:47
  Speaker 1: Thursday night games are bad football. That that Atlantic Carolina
• 52:51
  Speaker 1: game the other night. I mean they couldn't even make
• 52:53
  Speaker 1: an extra point. Team's missed like three straight extra points
• 52:56
  Speaker 1: at one point. On one of your shows this morning, Paul,
• 52:59
  Speaker 1: they were talking about it al al Michael being bored,
• 53:02
  Speaker 1: well being bored, but thinking that he might have made
• 53:04
  Speaker 1: a mistakes doing what he's doing. Yeah, yeah, so how
• 53:09
  Speaker 1: much money they give him. I mean, it'll get better,
• 53:12
  Speaker 1: you know, it's just a matter Thursday night games, they're
• 53:14
  Speaker 1: not going to get better. The matchups might get better. Event,
• 53:17
  Speaker 1: you can't play good football on Thursday night. You can't.
• 53:20
  Speaker 1: That's why the matchups think so bad. Haven't we paid
• 53:24
  Speaker 1: played good football Thursday night? When I don't know, I
• 53:27
  Speaker 1: remember winning some games. You know what I remember? Do
• 53:30
  Speaker 1: you have the Nick Folk hit clip, Matt? That's what
• 53:33
  Speaker 1: I remember from Thursday night football for the Patriots. They
• 53:36
  Speaker 1: win because the other team misses three field goals. Like
• 53:40
  Speaker 1: that's like last year the Atlantic game when there was
• 53:43
  Speaker 1: like pick sixes, like three of them in the fort
• 53:45
  Speaker 1: like whatever. There was like three straight interceptions in the football.
• 53:48
  Speaker 1: That's that's that's Thursday night football, baby, Yeah, that's just
• 53:52
  Speaker 1: horrible football. Would you do you think it's better when
• 53:54
  Speaker 1: it's divisional team suit that know each other well, they're
• 53:57
  Speaker 1: obviously more important. I think that's what they try to do.
• 54:00
  Speaker 1: Or when it's like when you're at laying at the team,
• 54:02
  Speaker 1: you don't really know that isn't it's an it's an
• 54:04
  Speaker 1: out of conference opponent, it's not as impactful in your season.
• 54:07
  Speaker 1: I just wonder what teams will prefer. I just I mean,
• 54:10
  Speaker 1: they probably prefer the division opponents because they're easier to
• 54:12
  Speaker 1: prepare for. But it's physical games usually can't I'm like,
• 54:17
  Speaker 1: I listened to the players when they talk about this stuff,
• 54:20
  Speaker 1: and I just don't think that you can adequately prepare
• 54:22
  Speaker 1: yourself to play football games, say beyond like week three
• 54:27
  Speaker 1: on Thursday night. You know, the Patriots are gonna play
• 54:30
  Speaker 1: three games in twelve days in this stretch here. That's
• 54:34
  Speaker 1: that's they're not supposed to do that. You know, something
• 54:37
  Speaker 1: that's supposed to take twenty one days is going to
• 54:39
  Speaker 1: take twelve. Right, let's go to Todd, North Carolina. Todd,
• 54:45
  Speaker 1: if you called toft, you did that on purpose? That
• 54:51
  Speaker 1: was well done, my friend. No, I don't think you
• 54:55
  Speaker 1: did on purpose? All right, Todd making a point. Good touche, touche.
• 55:02
  Speaker 1: The Patriots are fifteen and seven on Thursday night football
• 55:05
  Speaker 1: since nineteen seventy nine. Use they are there, you go, Well,
• 55:09
  Speaker 1: two big ones coming up the next couple of weeks
• 55:11
  Speaker 1: after this. He's hurrying back in here. Hurry, hurry. Do
• 55:16
  Speaker 1: you hear that, Paul, I just want to get fifteen
• 55:18
  Speaker 1: and seven on Thursday night football Patriots. They haven't been
• 55:22
  Speaker 1: doing Thursday night football that long, he said, since seventy nine.
• 55:25
  Speaker 1: Oh yeah, No, I'm talking about Thursday night football in
• 55:28
  Speaker 1: the current iteration. They're not good. They're not good games.
• 55:31
  Speaker 1: And I don't like I don't care who someone wins
• 55:33
  Speaker 1: every week. I'm not telling you that someone has a
• 55:36
  Speaker 1: good or bad record. I'm saying, like, last year against Atlanta,
• 55:39
  Speaker 1: would you consider that a good football game? Patriots one,
• 55:42
  Speaker 1: twenty five to nothing. They didn't play well. Hold on though, Matt,
• 55:46
  Speaker 1: what was that stat again? Fifteen and seven? Fifteen and seven.
• 55:49
  Speaker 1: Since nineteen seventy nine, the Patriots have had twenty two
• 55:53
  Speaker 1: Thursday night games. Yeah, I mean, I mean, that doesn't
• 55:57
  Speaker 1: sound like out of the ordinary. It does to me.
• 56:00
  Speaker 1: It sounds like a lot, because you really were only
• 56:02
  Speaker 1: playing one a year. Seven and two on Thursday night
• 56:04
  Speaker 1: football since twenty fifteen. Okay, okay, and all at home?
• 56:09
  Speaker 1: Yeah what they lose? Yeah anyway, Um, okay back to
• 56:15
  Speaker 1: the lost the Rams. Yeah, I gotta, I gotta because
• 56:18
  Speaker 1: they had to go on the road. That was in
• 56:20
  Speaker 1: twenty twenty one, Atlanta on the road. We know that.
• 56:26
  Speaker 1: But yeah, my point isn't like the record, No, I know.
• 56:29
  Speaker 1: My point is quality. Yeah, it's the quality of football.
• 56:31
  Speaker 1: And I'm not even talking about the Patriot. This just
• 56:33
  Speaker 1: wasn't like that wasn't Patriots centric. I know, I like,
• 56:36
  Speaker 1: I'm talking about like Carolina and Atlanta, two bad teams, yes,
• 56:40
  Speaker 1: but that was like prophetically bad even for those two teams.
• 56:43
  Speaker 1: I was trying to push back and saying, other teams
• 56:45
  Speaker 1: played Poortland Thursday night, but the Patriots don't. But they do,
• 56:49
  Speaker 1: like and I think that because we kind of had
• 56:51
  Speaker 1: one last year that we're just we just mentioned I know,
• 56:54
  Speaker 1: the year before they didn't even show up for their game.
• 56:56
  Speaker 1: They lost like twenty four to three. What's what was that?
• 57:00
  Speaker 1: The Rams? I keep forgetting that one, but I know why.
• 57:03
  Speaker 1: It's on purpose exactly. Nate writes in he just uh,
• 57:07
  Speaker 1: he wanted to say that he's an actor, professional theater actor.
• 57:11
  Speaker 1: You want to point out how often we quote Shakespeare,
• 57:13
  Speaker 1: especially Paul Ready for four of them, neither here nor There,
• 57:18
  Speaker 1: One fell, swoop, come what May? And Slings and arrows.
• 57:22
  Speaker 1: That's all Shakespeare and Paul. Yeah, none of those were
• 57:24
  Speaker 1: an intentional quoting of Shakespeare. I have to I have
• 57:27
  Speaker 1: to admit those are just you know, tired, tired, one
• 57:31
  Speaker 1: verbal cliche. He thinks, right, oh, good go, hey, well
• 57:35
  Speaker 1: done there, well done, boil toil and Italian subs, oh yeah,
• 57:43
  Speaker 1: without mayo. Yeah. Get a lot of questions about Jimmy
• 57:48
  Speaker 1: g Tom Brady and their availability next year? Uh any,
• 57:54
  Speaker 1: oh my Mike's uh any potential return here or potential
• 57:58
  Speaker 1: reuniting with job in Vegas, anything, any of that. I
• 58:02
  Speaker 1: think there's zero point zero percent chance of Brady returning here. Um.
• 58:06
  Speaker 1: I think it's like probably zero point one percent that
• 58:09
  Speaker 1: he would reunite with Josh. I don't think it ended
• 58:11
  Speaker 1: well with Josh with Brady Vegas. He's single now. I mean, well,
• 58:15
  Speaker 1: I think it's the forty nine ers, isn't it. That's
• 58:17
  Speaker 1: what I think? Yeah, yeah, do you think the Bucks say,
• 58:21
  Speaker 1: you know what, let's just keep him well, I don't
• 58:23
  Speaker 1: think that'll be their decision to make. No, I know,
• 58:25
  Speaker 1: but if they give him the money, well, I don't
• 58:27
  Speaker 1: think Miami will be I think he wants out there
• 58:30
  Speaker 1: really Yeah. Yeah, now that um Arians has gone, it's better. No,
• 58:35
  Speaker 1: I just don't think he wants to stay there. Yeah.
• 58:37
  Speaker 1: I mean, click, he's trying. He's trying everything. You good
• 58:40
  Speaker 1: to go to Miami two years ago. Yeah, So it
• 58:44
  Speaker 1: looks like the forty nine is the one that makes sense.
• 58:46
  Speaker 1: I think. I think so that I agree with you.
• 58:48
  Speaker 1: I think that's the one that kind of stands out
• 58:50
  Speaker 1: to me. Do you think he's just in it to
• 58:51
  Speaker 1: win it now and there's no firm out because he's
• 58:54
  Speaker 1: no longer having to worry about Yeah, I think I
• 58:57
  Speaker 1: think are sure he's going to play. No, No, I
• 59:01
  Speaker 1: still think that he's gonna While I did before the divorce,
• 59:05
  Speaker 1: I thought this was it, this was his last year,
• 59:07
  Speaker 1: but now it's like, what else are you gonna do?
• 59:10
  Speaker 1: You know, you can go around the country or the world,
• 59:13
  Speaker 1: how can TV twelve? But is that really gonna do
• 59:16
  Speaker 1: it for you? No? No, he loves football. This is
• 59:18
  Speaker 1: what he loves, you know. Plus it's all that whole thing.
• 59:22
  Speaker 1: How long can I do this? It's he's he's competing
• 59:25
  Speaker 1: against himself as much as he is everybody else. How
• 59:28
  Speaker 1: long can I do this at a high level? Yeah,
• 59:30
  Speaker 1: you know, I want the answer, and if he quits,
• 59:33
  Speaker 1: he won't have that answer. You know, I think too, Like,
• 59:35
  Speaker 1: I mean, they're what are they in first place right now?
• 59:38
  Speaker 1: And then in the terrible NFC South So I mean
• 59:40
  Speaker 1: they'll be in the mix again, and I would just
• 59:43
  Speaker 1: be very surprised if he returned to the box. Yeah,
• 59:46
  Speaker 1: let me tell you something, you know, and seeing him
• 59:48
  Speaker 1: in person in a couple of years, I mean, his
• 59:52
  Speaker 1: arm is as good as anyone's in the league right now,
• 59:54
  Speaker 1: maybe not distance wise, but in velocity. And you know,
• 1:00:00
  Speaker 1: like he throws ropes, he's throwing. Even the interception that
• 1:00:03
  Speaker 1: he had, the guy was open. He just needed to
• 1:00:05
  Speaker 1: get a little more air under it, but he didn't.
• 1:00:07
  Speaker 1: He was a laser beam right to the guy. Yeah,
• 1:00:11
  Speaker 1: but I mean it was a rope. I mean he's throwing.
• 1:00:14
  Speaker 1: You know, then what's the going on with their offense?
• 1:00:16
  Speaker 1: I mean he died. To get another vibe from the
• 1:00:17
  Speaker 1: offense just generally of what was clunky about it or
• 1:00:20
  Speaker 1: it just didn't seem like they could get it going
• 1:00:23
  Speaker 1: because they got you know, believe it or not. I
• 1:00:25
  Speaker 1: think partly it is Brady. Oh like he's not quite
• 1:00:29
  Speaker 1: that gets rid of the ball immediately. Yeah, and and um,
• 1:00:32
  Speaker 1: a lot of the balls are inaccurate. Um, even the completions. Now,
• 1:00:36
  Speaker 1: I thought the one that was down on the five
• 1:00:38
  Speaker 1: yard line, I forget it wasn't Scotty Miller. Was another
• 1:00:40
  Speaker 1: young guy, Like he jumps up and makes this acrobatic
• 1:00:47
  Speaker 1: So two weeks ago, he jumps up and headbuts a
• 1:00:50
  Speaker 1: ball with his face in the end zone, like you
• 1:00:52
  Speaker 1: could see Brady just wanting to like it wasn't Scott Miller,
• 1:00:56
  Speaker 1: say this game, this game, he cuts across the middle
• 1:00:59
  Speaker 1: of like the tech no one within the same area, coach,
• 1:01:03
  Speaker 1: and he jumps for some unknown reason, his legs are
• 1:01:07
  Speaker 1: under and he almost fumbled it somehow. Again, I'm so
• 1:01:11
  Speaker 1: glad you brought that up. That play was just and
• 1:01:14
  Speaker 1: and if you not to Joel Brady. But I'm like, yep,
• 1:01:16
  Speaker 1: Brady's in that guy's head, like you know, like like,
• 1:01:18
  Speaker 1: oh God, it's coming to me. I can't drop it.
• 1:01:21
  Speaker 1: I didn't know that was Scotty Miller. Again, I thought
• 1:01:23
  Speaker 1: it was somebody else, but I was like, you just
• 1:01:25
  Speaker 1: made an easy one of hard cash. It's like, I
• 1:01:27
  Speaker 1: see Danny Amondola make that catch like on the sideline
• 1:01:30
  Speaker 1: with like two guys, Like whoa, that was so acrobatic
• 1:01:32
  Speaker 1: or like what is he If he had caught it
• 1:01:34
  Speaker 1: the regular way, he probably would have scored. Yeah, you know,
• 1:01:37
  Speaker 1: you could have rolled in. I just saw that face
• 1:01:41
  Speaker 1: mask on that scoop and score. That was ridiculous, missis.
• 1:01:44
  Speaker 1: And then the other one. I just want to the
• 1:01:47
  Speaker 1: Brady when he got called for tripping at the end
• 1:01:49
  Speaker 1: of the game. He all he wanted to do was
• 1:01:52
  Speaker 1: make contact with his legs so that he was down.
• 1:01:54
  Speaker 1: He really I don't think he was really trying to
• 1:01:56
  Speaker 1: trip him, but by the letter of the law, it's tripping.
• 1:01:58
  Speaker 1: He used his leg Yeah, okay, I don't think. But
• 1:02:00
  Speaker 1: people were like, oh, Brady, so Bush League. It's like, oh,
• 1:02:04
  Speaker 1: come on, it's not the first time. Yeah, did you
• 1:02:06
  Speaker 1: have a good view of when they threw them that
• 1:02:07
  Speaker 1: pass along the sideline? Stupid? Stupid. They had set that
• 1:02:11
  Speaker 1: up a few plays earlier where they had them lyne
• 1:02:14
  Speaker 1: out wide and it was a run play, so like, oh,
• 1:02:17
  Speaker 1: we got them. Now we set it up, so they
• 1:02:19
  Speaker 1: did it again, and you know, it's like ridiculous, what
• 1:02:21
  Speaker 1: are you doing when you're moving the ball? Why do
• 1:02:23
  Speaker 1: you have to do that? Everybody around me was like
• 1:02:27
  Speaker 1: that was just stupid. Why would you do that? Do you? Guys?
• 1:02:30
  Speaker 1: Do you want to take a break? And I don't
• 1:02:31
  Speaker 1: think anybody's getting food, but oh you're not getting I'm

  Speaker 1: great moments in history. Manny's in Manchester, New Hampshire. What's
• 1:10:41
  Speaker 1: Up Mannie manny Chester Podcast. At one point Fie called
• 1:10:46
  Speaker 1: called no mediaca coach. Oh no, no, no no no.
• 1:10:51
  Speaker 1: I did not stop it. If you stop it, you're
• 1:10:54
  Speaker 1: embarrassing yourself. I just speak to you today. But anyway,
• 1:11:00
  Speaker 1: I did not call Bill a mediocre coach. I'm sorry.
• 1:11:03
  Speaker 1: That's it was taken out of context. That's like Fred
• 1:11:06
  Speaker 1: said that he doesn't think that mac Jones is very
• 1:11:08
  Speaker 1: good that's not what he meant. He was it was
• 1:11:10
  Speaker 1: something about something different. I've never thought of Bill as
• 1:11:13
  Speaker 1: a mediocre coach, and I've never said that he's a
• 1:11:15
  Speaker 1: mediocre coach. Sorry, I might have said. I might have
• 1:11:19
  Speaker 1: said something like this, if you want to listen, He's
• 1:11:22
  Speaker 1: had eight plus years without Tom Brady as his as
• 1:11:25
  Speaker 1: his quarterback, and in those years he's been a mediocre coach.
• 1:11:28
  Speaker 1: That's what you said. That's what I said. I remember that. Oh,
• 1:11:31
  Speaker 1: that's what I call him. A mediocre coach them without Brady,
• 1:11:36
  Speaker 1: very very important qualifier there, Manny WHOA. I think then
• 1:11:39
  Speaker 1: everybody's a medioca coach because Brady then and he reads
• 1:11:44
  Speaker 1: Andy reads, not a mediocre coach. A good point. That's
• 1:11:46
  Speaker 1: another great moment from all right back here and Patriots
• 1:11:52
  Speaker 1: unfiltered tossing bombs in the back. It's a good point.
• 1:11:57
  Speaker 1: That's what he does. A guy completely makes up some
• 1:12:00
  Speaker 1: thing that I didn't say. And then Fregos, that's a
• 1:12:02
  Speaker 1: good point. Called well, I don't think the word mediocre
• 1:12:04
  Speaker 1: should ever be used in the same sentence as Bill
• 1:12:06
  Speaker 1: Belichick with or without Tom Brady. How's that. I know
• 1:12:09
  Speaker 1: he'd have to start winning some games. Tom Brady. Wow,
• 1:12:17
  Speaker 1: boom roasted. Um, let's see. Okay, Todd is back on
• 1:12:21
  Speaker 1: the phone. What's up Todd? Hey, guys, can you hear me? Yeah?
• 1:12:24
  Speaker 1: Oh great connection? Yeah, great connection. That was weird because
• 1:12:28
  Speaker 1: you're on Bluetooth in the car and it was I
• 1:12:30
  Speaker 1: was talking to Matt. It was fine, So that was
• 1:12:32
  Speaker 1: a purpose. No, I wouldn't do that credit. I gave
• 1:12:37
  Speaker 1: you a lot of credit. That was funny. Yeah, well
• 1:12:41
  Speaker 1: I kind of heard it. I couldn't even hear it either.
• 1:12:43
  Speaker 1: The whole call just kind of went sideways. But that's
• 1:12:45
  Speaker 1: the way it's been going because we lost their immigration,
• 1:12:47
  Speaker 1: I lost my driver's license, we my wife lost her job,
• 1:12:51
  Speaker 1: and she's had three surgeries in the last month. Who
• 1:12:54
  Speaker 1: great boy, Now I feel great of all reading that email. Anyway, anyway,
• 1:13:02
  Speaker 1: just the one thing that I was thinking about because
• 1:13:05
  Speaker 1: I don't know how we did it, but we slipped
• 1:13:06
  Speaker 1: into the last playoffs spot, what is the one thing
• 1:13:10
  Speaker 1: that could happen for the team that they'd be able
• 1:13:12
  Speaker 1: to actually make the playoffs? What do you think, like
• 1:13:16
  Speaker 1: the old line gets fixed, or you know, Mac gets
• 1:13:19
  Speaker 1: his head right, the offense gets fixed, period offense. There's
• 1:13:24
  Speaker 1: a lot of things wrong with the offense that the
• 1:13:26
  Speaker 1: offense would have to get fixed. How many things on
• 1:13:29
  Speaker 1: the offense do you figure need, Like is it just
• 1:13:31
  Speaker 1: the whole dang thing, like play calling, coaching, the whole thing,
• 1:13:34
  Speaker 1: or just one or two everything Bill has, play calling, protection,
• 1:13:40
  Speaker 1: the running game, passing game, the quarterback. Play Bill's gonna
• 1:13:44
  Speaker 1: have to take over. Yeah, I would I largely agree
• 1:13:47
  Speaker 1: with you, Fred, Yeah, he's gonna have to get ye.
• 1:13:51
  Speaker 1: If there any hope that they would be able to
• 1:13:55
  Speaker 1: get like, is there a possibility could or is it
• 1:13:57
  Speaker 1: just kind of like a mission if possible at this time,
• 1:13:59
  Speaker 1: I think it has to be better. He doesn't. The
• 1:14:01
  Speaker 1: offense have to be better in the second half. Again,
• 1:14:04
  Speaker 1: it starts with the old line, but I think they've
• 1:14:06
  Speaker 1: got the pieces. But if the old line doesn't get better,
• 1:14:08
  Speaker 1: then nothing else will. I mean, I would have said
• 1:14:11
  Speaker 1: that we've been doing it for three months and if
• 1:14:12
  Speaker 1: you said at the end of training camp, like it'll
• 1:14:14
  Speaker 1: look better by November, right, and I would say, Oh, yeah,
• 1:14:16
  Speaker 1: it's got to it hasn't. I just I think given
• 1:14:20
  Speaker 1: the schedule how daunting it is that they're they're going
• 1:14:22
  Speaker 1: to have to find a new gear or else. It's
• 1:14:24
  Speaker 1: it's you know, it's not going to end in the playoffs,
• 1:14:27
  Speaker 1: all right, let me let me jump in Fred on
• 1:14:30
  Speaker 1: an email here from George from read from Jersey as
• 1:14:33
  Speaker 1: he was saying, email emailed us only once in twenty
• 1:14:36
  Speaker 1: twenty one, but it never made it an area. He
• 1:14:37
  Speaker 1: thinks it was quashed by Fred or possibly even the
• 1:14:40
  Speaker 1: higher ups I eat Belichick and Craft, who oh yeah,
• 1:14:42
  Speaker 1: they read. Think I think he might be onto something.
• 1:14:47
  Speaker 1: He's he does, say, I kid, but at the time
• 1:14:49
  Speaker 1: I thought it was a big mistake not giving Max
• 1:14:51
  Speaker 1: some time to sit behind a veteran. I know Paul
• 1:14:54
  Speaker 1: believes if a rookie is ready, he wants to see
• 1:14:56
  Speaker 1: them get as many snaps as possible. Very valid. But
• 1:14:58
  Speaker 1: to Alan Mahome s Brady, I'll sappyhond veterans in hindsight,
• 1:15:02
  Speaker 1: do you think that this might have benefited Mac? I don't.
• 1:15:07
  Speaker 1: I don't have the answer to that. But I also
• 1:15:10
  Speaker 1: would say that the examples that you use are kind
• 1:15:13
  Speaker 1: of like, so two US didn't start like the first
• 1:15:16
  Speaker 1: four or five games, and that like that said, Okay,
• 1:15:18
  Speaker 1: so Mahomes sat the whole year. He played the last
• 1:15:20
  Speaker 1: game of the year, So that's that's valid, but like
• 1:15:23
  Speaker 1: two would and Josh Allen played games as rookies, like
• 1:15:26
  Speaker 1: they played the balance of their seasons as rookies. Like
• 1:15:29
  Speaker 1: because they didn't play Week one means they sat Yeah,
• 1:15:34
  Speaker 1: Like is that that big of a difference. It's hard
• 1:15:36
  Speaker 1: to do it at this point because last year I
• 1:15:38
  Speaker 1: think everybody was happy he played and happy that you've
• 1:15:40
  Speaker 1: got a rookie quarterback that kind of And I also
• 1:15:42
  Speaker 1: would would have thought differently about it if mac Jones
• 1:15:44
  Speaker 1: would have had the opportunity to sit behind like a
• 1:15:47
  Speaker 1: real veteran, not Cam Newton, you know, not not someone
• 1:15:50
  Speaker 1: who played football. He played some of the worst quarterback
• 1:15:54
  Speaker 1: play that you'll ever see in twenty twenty. Yeah, would
• 1:15:58
  Speaker 1: he have benefited from just listening and watching Brady? Of
• 1:16:01
  Speaker 1: course he would, of course he would. But it's hard
• 1:16:05
  Speaker 1: to prove those things, like, you know, how about this,
• 1:16:08
  Speaker 1: How about if we did something like this instead of
• 1:16:11
  Speaker 1: and this is obviously revisioned his history. It didn't happen
• 1:16:13
  Speaker 1: this way, but instead of Cam Newton in twenty twenty,
• 1:16:16
  Speaker 1: they signed Andy Dalton. Yeah. I wouldn't have been opposed
• 1:16:19
  Speaker 1: to Andy Dalton playing the first handful of games last
• 1:16:23
  Speaker 1: year and letting Cam Newton you know, you know learned
• 1:16:27
  Speaker 1: that way or you know, um, I should tweet that
• 1:16:31
  Speaker 1: out and tag that he love No, like there's there's
• 1:16:34
  Speaker 1: more exact and listen, Cam Newton is a thousand times
• 1:16:36
  Speaker 1: better player than Andy Dalton ever was, but in twenty
• 1:16:39
  Speaker 1: twenty he wasn't. They were kind of the same, only
• 1:16:43
  Speaker 1: Cam Newton played in a style that's not really going
• 1:16:46
  Speaker 1: to help Mac Jones, whereas Andy Dalton could have played
• 1:16:49
  Speaker 1: some reasonable facsimile of the Josh McDaniels offense, right, and
• 1:16:53
  Speaker 1: I think he could have learned something from sitting around. Yeah,
• 1:16:56
  Speaker 1: I'm not hell bent on a rookie has to play
• 1:16:58
  Speaker 1: week one, but I'm also not hell bent the other way,
• 1:17:01
  Speaker 1: Like it doesn't have to be that's the only way
• 1:17:04
  Speaker 1: you can do, and you need to let these guys
• 1:17:06
  Speaker 1: sit and learn. Some guys benefit from that, some guys don't.
• 1:17:10
  Speaker 1: It wouldn't have been been a conversation for me after
• 1:17:13
  Speaker 1: last year. And I mean it's just because it's this point,
• 1:17:15
  Speaker 1: because he, you know, was regressed, and I mean now
• 1:17:17
  Speaker 1: he looks like a rookie And if it looked like
• 1:17:19
  Speaker 1: this last year, then I probably would say, hey, maybe
• 1:17:21
  Speaker 1: it's time for him to take a seat and you know,
• 1:17:23
  Speaker 1: get a chance to watch for a little while. Um
• 1:17:26
  Speaker 1: spect spec got a little something funny. He really liked
• 1:17:29
  Speaker 1: Andy at the andyism from last week when he said
• 1:17:31
  Speaker 1: you drafted a pocket passer and you don't have a
• 1:17:33
  Speaker 1: pocket low t Rex even managed to say that without
• 1:17:37
  Speaker 1: yelling about boob squats, Buffalo chicken, ivy as et cum Anyway.
• 1:17:42
  Speaker 1: Picks During Picks a couple of weeks ago, pauliamented that
• 1:17:45
  Speaker 1: one of the Love games could have ended with a
• 1:17:47
  Speaker 1: negative score. Got me wondering for each of you, if
• 1:17:50
  Speaker 1: point deductions were a thing in NFL football, how would
• 1:17:53
  Speaker 1: you want that to work? What would you what would
• 1:17:55
  Speaker 1: you detract points from a team going for passing up
• 1:18:00
  Speaker 1: an evy easy field goal? While how about how about
• 1:18:02
  Speaker 1: miss missed field goals? Missed missed kicks? You should lose
• 1:18:06
  Speaker 1: the amount of points. How's that? Folk? No one would
• 1:18:10
  Speaker 1: ever kick a field goal? Now? No? What what could you?
• 1:18:13
  Speaker 1: What could you do? What could you do to have
• 1:18:15
  Speaker 1: negative points? Like a really bad personal foul that could
• 1:18:20
  Speaker 1: be one. Um, I'm trying to think now, like like
• 1:18:24
  Speaker 1: the Colts. The way the Colts played offense last week
• 1:18:27
  Speaker 1: with Sam Ellinger like, you get sacked nine times, you
• 1:18:32
  Speaker 1: can't move the ball at all, you score three points,
• 1:18:35
  Speaker 1: like yeah, but like you know, that's like you know,
• 1:18:38
  Speaker 1: the other team could be just better than you. You
• 1:18:40
  Speaker 1: shouldn't get penalized by for that. But it's a joke. No,
• 1:18:43
  Speaker 1: I'm trying to think honestly, Like what what should a
• 1:18:47
  Speaker 1: team be penalized for with points? You know? Yeah, it's
• 1:18:50
  Speaker 1: got to be bad. I mean, yeahsis, what's that you
• 1:18:56
  Speaker 1: don't get the extra point or the two point conversion?
• 1:18:58
  Speaker 1: Then you just lose those points. Yeah, but like you know,
• 1:19:02
  Speaker 1: you don't want to discourage teams from doing things. You
• 1:19:05
  Speaker 1: know they have to do either of those after a
• 1:19:07
  Speaker 1: touchdown anyway, Well, someone discouraged them from moving the ball.
• 1:19:12
  Speaker 1: They're drafting like Pete Carroll calling timeouts at the end
• 1:19:17
  Speaker 1: of the half. Minus points, minus points? You know, Rick
• 1:19:21
  Speaker 1: and Leville is just wondering or if we were as
• 1:19:23
  Speaker 1: shocked as he is that the overrated Cowboys are a
• 1:19:26
  Speaker 1: two point road favorite against the Vikings. I'd seen that yet,
• 1:19:29
  Speaker 1: but um shocked? No, but um it's mildly surprising. Yeah,
• 1:19:37
  Speaker 1: I think Dallas is better than Minnesota, But I mean,
• 1:19:40
  Speaker 1: I'm pretty consistent with this and I'm gonna go down
• 1:19:43
  Speaker 1: with the ship and the Vikings are gonna go like
• 1:19:44
  Speaker 1: thirteen and four. And I'm gonna tell you, I don't
• 1:19:46
  Speaker 1: know how they're doing it us whatever, But I think
• 1:19:50
  Speaker 1: Dallas is better than Minnesota and this personnel WI just
• 1:19:52
  Speaker 1: two road games in a row for Dallas. They play
• 1:19:55
  Speaker 1: in the road this week, Yeah yeah, so why so
• 1:19:58
  Speaker 1: why are they favored? No? That makes even more shocking
• 1:20:01
  Speaker 1: because I think that people look at them and they
• 1:20:02
  Speaker 1: think they're better. But plus, but Dallas, I mean, let's
• 1:20:05
  Speaker 1: call it, like the actual line in Vegas isn't necessarily
• 1:20:10
  Speaker 1: what they think is better. It's where the money's coming.
• 1:20:12
  Speaker 1: And what do you think the money is going to
• 1:20:14
  Speaker 1: come in? Dallas or Minnesota? Right right? Minnesota, they don't bet.
• 1:20:17
  Speaker 1: That's That's what the sharps now. But I mean, you
• 1:20:21
  Speaker 1: don't think they can make it. You can make an
• 1:20:22
  Speaker 1: argument that Dallas is better than Minnesota. I think you could,
• 1:20:25
  Speaker 1: but right now I think Minnesota might be playing better.
• 1:20:28
  Speaker 1: And then it's two games in a row on the
• 1:20:30
  Speaker 1: road for Dallas. I think, I mean they I mean
• 1:20:33
  Speaker 1: Dallas went into Minnesota last year with Cooper Russian beat
• 1:20:36
  Speaker 1: them them, right, I just think they're a better team.
• 1:20:38
  Speaker 1: Raises my eyebrow. Yeah, it's it's it's it's I mean,
• 1:20:42
  Speaker 1: it's a little it's a little strange. I think it's
• 1:20:46
  Speaker 1: just what Paul said, it's where the money's coming in.
• 1:20:47
  Speaker 1: They're trying to gain. Well, that's I mean, that's first
• 1:20:49
  Speaker 1: and foremost. They try to figure out where the money
• 1:20:53
  Speaker 1: the Cowboys. But I think the Cowboys are better than
• 1:20:56
  Speaker 1: Minnesota and I'd be surprised if they didn't win the game. Yeah, well,
• 1:20:59
  Speaker 1: we'll see Ramona Tampa a little bit of a imaginary situation.
• 1:21:05
  Speaker 1: If it's something he's always wondered if in O seven
• 1:21:08
  Speaker 1: the Pats lost the final regular season game against the Giants,
• 1:21:11
  Speaker 1: ending the perfect season hope at that point, do you
• 1:21:13
  Speaker 1: believe the pain would be as intense as the pain
• 1:21:16
  Speaker 1: we felt when we lost Super Bowl forty two. Now,
• 1:21:18
  Speaker 1: a lot of people have made the argument, had they
• 1:21:20
  Speaker 1: lost that game to the Giants at the end of
• 1:21:22
  Speaker 1: the season, they wouldn't have lost the Super Bowl. Yeah,
• 1:21:24
  Speaker 1: they would have. Ye, they would have. Giants wouldn't have
• 1:21:27
  Speaker 1: had that same right hunger, and the Patriots wouldn't have
• 1:21:30
  Speaker 1: overlooked them, right, Yeah, they wouldn't have and the pressure
• 1:21:35
  Speaker 1: of maintaining the undefeated season wouldn't have been on them either.
• 1:21:39
  Speaker 1: I thought the Baltimore moment was the one they should
• 1:21:41
  Speaker 1: have should have dropped. I mean, that was a miracle
• 1:21:43
  Speaker 1: how they I mean, is that the most miraculous end
• 1:21:45
  Speaker 1: of any of those games? That? Yeah? Really, that was
• 1:21:48
  Speaker 1: as close as they came. That was as close as
• 1:21:51
  Speaker 1: they came to losing. You know, the Giants were up twelve,
• 1:21:54
  Speaker 1: but there was still a lot of time left. The
• 1:21:56
  Speaker 1: Baltimore game. You came back from two fourteen point deficits.
• 1:22:00
  Speaker 1: You know, that was crazy. Which one we're talking about now, Baltimore?
• 1:22:05
  Speaker 1: Oh that wasn't No. Seven? That was that was the
• 1:22:08
  Speaker 1: twenty fourteen playoff. Yeah, that's the end. Yeah, Okay, they
• 1:22:12
  Speaker 1: had I had, like, no, I know what you're talking
• 1:22:13
  Speaker 1: about now, I got I got confused. I got three
• 1:22:16
  Speaker 1: four I got like three fourth downs and they had
• 1:22:20
  Speaker 1: the one they stop. Ryan called the time out and
• 1:22:23
  Speaker 1: they had to do it again, and it was Scotts
• 1:22:26
  Speaker 1: the penalty in the stands. And even then, even then,
• 1:22:30
  Speaker 1: after all that crap happened, they threw a hill Mary
• 1:22:33
  Speaker 1: and caught it inside the five yard line. Right, It
• 1:22:37
  Speaker 1: just felt like I mean, but I think with that
• 1:22:39
  Speaker 1: team too. After I came, I came back specifically for
• 1:22:43
  Speaker 1: the Pittsburgh game, which you know, they lit him up.
• 1:22:45
  Speaker 1: I remember that was probably why I started bloging with
• 1:22:47
  Speaker 1: somebody's flying around the stadium with like a like asterisk
• 1:22:50
  Speaker 1: uh plane thing, and that I got so mad I
• 1:22:53
  Speaker 1: had to blog about it. Um. But after that point
• 1:22:56
  Speaker 1: it felt like I was waiting for some reactions. I mean,
• 1:23:00
  Speaker 1: it got hardest. It's just it's like when you're pitching
• 1:23:02
  Speaker 1: a perfect game, you know you're gonna need some help.
• 1:23:06
  Speaker 1: They're gonna need somebody at some point to make a
• 1:23:08
  Speaker 1: great defensive play. And it's the same thing. You gotta
• 1:23:12
  Speaker 1: have a little luck. And then they did. Down the
• 1:23:15
  Speaker 1: stretch of that season. You know, they had the game
• 1:23:18
  Speaker 1: against Philadelphia, I think with a J. Feely who kind
• 1:23:21
  Speaker 1: of lit them up, and you know, I think I
• 1:23:24
  Speaker 1: think Assante had a pick in the end zone at
• 1:23:27
  Speaker 1: the end to preserve that win. That was a close game.
• 1:23:30
  Speaker 1: That was like a thirty one twenty seven kind of game.
• 1:23:32
  Speaker 1: That was a close game. They got tougher the Baltimore game, obviously.
• 1:23:36
  Speaker 1: I mean I remember Miami and Jets. I think we're
• 1:23:38
  Speaker 1: both kind of Jets was like a twenty to ten grind. Yeah,
• 1:23:41
  Speaker 1: with like Moroni, a bunch of kids. Maroni ran for
• 1:23:44
  Speaker 1: a hundred yards like every game down the stretch and
• 1:23:46
  Speaker 1: in the into the playoffs and then until the Super Bowl,
• 1:23:49
  Speaker 1: and they didn't run for anything. Right, Uh, let's go
• 1:23:53
  Speaker 1: back to the phones. Brandon's in Oregon. What's up, Brandon?
• 1:23:56
  Speaker 1: Go ducky. Hey. I was thinking last night going into
• 1:24:02
  Speaker 1: this Jets game this week, I was curious over the
• 1:24:07
  Speaker 1: Bill era, you know, the last twenty twenty years or whatever.
• 1:24:11
  Speaker 1: Do you guys think this is besides maybe the Bart
• 1:24:14
  Speaker 1: Scott Sanchez team you guys are just talking about, is
• 1:24:16
  Speaker 1: this maybe the best Jet team that Bill has gone
• 1:24:20
  Speaker 1: up again and it's time here since then? Probably? Yeah? Yeah,
• 1:24:24
  Speaker 1: I mean the Rex are certainly since the Rex Ryan teams. Yeah,
• 1:24:27
  Speaker 1: like Rex Ryan had it going there for a few years.
• 1:24:30
  Speaker 1: They had some personnel, um, but since then, this is
• 1:24:35
  Speaker 1: probably the best they had. The one year with Brandon
• 1:24:38
  Speaker 1: Marshall and yeah, what's Eric Decker? You knew exactly who
• 1:24:43
  Speaker 1: I was thinking about that they were. I think they
• 1:24:45
  Speaker 1: won ten games that year. They were pretty good. But
• 1:24:49
  Speaker 1: this is probably the best team that they've had since
• 1:24:51
  Speaker 1: Rex Ryan. I think it's just the quarterback play, because
• 1:24:52
  Speaker 1: I mean Mark Sanchez sometimes you got bad Mark Sanchez,
• 1:24:56
  Speaker 1: and you know, and and you know what Zach Wilson
• 1:24:58
  Speaker 1: has done. And that's why I up like the twenty
• 1:25:00
  Speaker 1: ten playoff game where you know, mar Sinantis just came
• 1:25:03
  Speaker 1: in here and played out of his mind, played perfectly,
• 1:25:05
  Speaker 1: and you know, I don't think he really did that
• 1:25:07
  Speaker 1: very often in his career, but you just you never know.
• 1:25:09
  Speaker 1: And that's what scares me about this game is was
• 1:25:11
  Speaker 1: you know, Zach Wilson suddenly going to decide to I
• 1:25:13
  Speaker 1: don't think I'm gonna give the game away today, Guys, like,
• 1:25:15
  Speaker 1: if he makes that decision, then, uh, you know, I
• 1:25:18
  Speaker 1: think it's I mean, I think Evan tweeted out today
• 1:25:20
  Speaker 1: where you know, two of the worst quarterbacks in the
• 1:25:22
  Speaker 1: league under pressure, it's just going to kind of come
• 1:25:24
  Speaker 1: down to mistakes between the two quarterbacks and who makes fewer.
• 1:25:27
  Speaker 1: And you know, hopefully Zach Wilson continues what he's been doing.
• 1:25:31
  Speaker 1: Let's get back to the emails, all right, I sound
• 1:25:35
  Speaker 1: like Zola. Alright, I'm just gonna jump into this when
• 1:25:40
  Speaker 1: I haven't vetted it yet. But ire from New Jersey.
• 1:25:42
  Speaker 1: He says, question for y'all, did Bill know? Did Bill
• 1:25:46
  Speaker 1: knew Josh would struggle down in Vegas and Alabama in
• 1:25:50
  Speaker 1: decline making Billy Oh available. I feel like Fred very
• 1:25:53
  Speaker 1: amount of these emails is Maddi p just a placeholder
• 1:25:57
  Speaker 1: for one season. Also, I just want to add that
• 1:25:59
  Speaker 1: Evan is wrong when he said last week that Zapp
• 1:26:01
  Speaker 1: he got drafted ahead. I'm leek Willis. Willis was actually
• 1:26:03
  Speaker 1: a third round pick. So Evan, get your fact straight, man. Uh,
• 1:26:07
  Speaker 1: just in full disclosure, I corrected that. On the plus,
• 1:26:11
  Speaker 1: Evan doesn't like the college game. No, even though everybody
• 1:26:14
  Speaker 1: in the NFL comes from college, he has no need
• 1:26:16
  Speaker 1: for college football. Correct. I don't that. I don't understand.
• 1:26:20
  Speaker 1: I don't get it. I respect it. I respect you know,
• 1:26:23
  Speaker 1: it's like they they were all born in the NFL.
• 1:26:26
  Speaker 1: You know. Well, I I mean, I get like my
• 1:26:30
  Speaker 1: thing with college football is it's just it's all big
• 1:26:32
  Speaker 1: place penalties and turnovers that you know, it's just like
• 1:26:34
  Speaker 1: like it's hard to get as I think it's become
• 1:26:38
  Speaker 1: exactly the same as the NFL now, the way that
• 1:26:40
  Speaker 1: they play offense, it's like just spread stuff. And yeah,
• 1:26:44
  Speaker 1: now I just I watch FCS now, I'm a holy Cross,
• 1:26:46
  Speaker 1: you know, my holy Cross. I just I like the
• 1:26:49
  Speaker 1: the I don't watch college football crowd though. Like when
• 1:26:52
  Speaker 1: when you know, you like, February and March roll around
• 1:26:55
  Speaker 1: and they start, you know, they do all their draft
• 1:26:57
  Speaker 1: prep and they're like, uh, you know you see this
• 1:26:59
  Speaker 1: Stroud kid, right, he's pretty good. Like you know that's
• 1:27:03
  Speaker 1: gonna being about ten months from now. I know I
• 1:27:05
  Speaker 1: always feel stupid like coming to that late, but uh,
• 1:27:09
  Speaker 1: that's what it is. Um Mark writes in what's the
• 1:27:12
  Speaker 1: deal with Time Montgomery? Is he coming back this year?
• 1:27:14
  Speaker 1: Or is he done? I he's If he didn't come
• 1:27:16
  Speaker 1: back this week, it's probably starting. Have you heard anything
• 1:27:18
  Speaker 1: about Time Montgomery? Because I find it odd all of
• 1:27:20
  Speaker 1: a sudden, how his Uh what was he back on
• 1:27:23
  Speaker 1: the field or no, no, no, no, no, nobody nobody.
• 1:27:29
  Speaker 1: He's been on IR for like two months. Oh but
• 1:27:32
  Speaker 1: he wasn't designated to return or what he was. They
• 1:27:35
  Speaker 1: don't like, you don't have to do that, you know,
• 1:27:37
  Speaker 1: like you just activate him as designated to return. He
• 1:27:40
  Speaker 1: comes back to practice, Okay, So I like if he
• 1:27:43
  Speaker 1: goes back out in the practice field, then that that
• 1:27:45
  Speaker 1: access designated for return. Then they have a week to
• 1:27:48
  Speaker 1: activate him. Yeah. I mean Rees asked Bill a couple
• 1:27:51
  Speaker 1: of weeks ago specifically about him, and he kind of
• 1:27:53
  Speaker 1: got there and he flat outs to no, Yeah, so
• 1:27:56
  Speaker 1: I don't know, I'm not I'm not really pulling out hope. Um,
• 1:27:59
  Speaker 1: one more of this, He asked me, Mike, I heard
• 1:28:01
  Speaker 1: you mentioned somewhere that there was a marker where Vinitarius
• 1:28:03
  Speaker 1: kick happened in the old stadium. Is their quick way
• 1:28:05
  Speaker 1: to explain where this is. I'm familiar with the stadium
• 1:28:07
  Speaker 1: area and would like to check it out. So it
• 1:28:10
  Speaker 1: was in um, what was it called, the old store
• 1:28:13
  Speaker 1: Olympia Sports. Yeah, it's it's somewhere by Olympia and Warmtown. Yeah,
• 1:28:18
  Speaker 1: and I think they just took over. It's like a
• 1:28:20
  Speaker 1: puzzle store now, so I think it would be in
• 1:28:22
  Speaker 1: that puzzle slash toy store they have a little Um. Yeah,
• 1:28:25
  Speaker 1: they actually had the marker out in the middle, but
• 1:28:28
  Speaker 1: that wasn't exactly where it was actually in the store. Yeah. Yeah,
• 1:28:32
  Speaker 1: so it's up there. I'm not sure if the new
• 1:28:34
  Speaker 1: puzzle store has it, but but go check it out.
• 1:28:36
  Speaker 1: Get a puzzle. We're talking about just before this, Yeah,
• 1:28:40
  Speaker 1: do you think that the emergence of Romande Stevenson as
• 1:28:44
  Speaker 1: a catcher. It's like I said, you know what, we
• 1:28:46
  Speaker 1: don't need Montgomery. No, they need they need they need
• 1:28:49
  Speaker 1: somebody like Montgomery bad. Okay. I was trying to think
• 1:28:52
  Speaker 1: last night, what do you think they need worse? Like
• 1:28:54
  Speaker 1: a third down James White type or a slot Julian
• 1:28:57
  Speaker 1: Edelman type, like, you know, one of those things. I
• 1:29:00
  Speaker 1: feel like those are two pieces that were big parts
• 1:29:02
  Speaker 1: of their of their offense that just always kind of
• 1:29:04
  Speaker 1: were around, and it doesn't really feel like they have
• 1:29:07
  Speaker 1: either of those spots. Yeah, yeah, yeah, I mean I
• 1:29:09
  Speaker 1: don't think it's a deal breaker. They have a lot
• 1:29:11
  Speaker 1: more problems on offense than we can count, but yeah,
• 1:29:14
  Speaker 1: I think that that they could use, you know, a
• 1:29:17
  Speaker 1: pass catching back as opposed to a back who catches passes,
• 1:29:20
  Speaker 1: which I think is reminder Stevenson, Oh little Andy Hart there. Yeah. Yeah.
• 1:29:25
  Speaker 1: I gotta give Chad and Atl just an acknowledgement because
• 1:29:28
  Speaker 1: he's been reaching out various ways saying Mac isn't the
• 1:29:32
  Speaker 1: guy and that he's over Max. So you get mad, though, Chad,
• 1:29:35
  Speaker 1: You get mad they don't they don't have the opinions
• 1:29:37
  Speaker 1: that you want. So that's differ between you and Fred.
• 1:29:40
  Speaker 1: Fred just reads them without bias. He just reads the emails.
• 1:29:44
  Speaker 1: I'm I'm not saying I necessarily disagree with him, but
• 1:29:47
  Speaker 1: I know he wants to get it off his chest.
• 1:29:48
  Speaker 1: So I felt like, you know, I felt like I
• 1:29:50
  Speaker 1: should give him the stage for it without without judging. Um.
• 1:29:53
  Speaker 1: Let me see, I gotta find another one here, Fred,
• 1:29:55
  Speaker 1: how do you do this while maintaining you know, it's
• 1:29:58
  Speaker 1: a little chitty chat so it's an art. It's an art.
• 1:30:03
  Speaker 1: Fred's very good. I do it while you're chitty chatting. Oh,
• 1:30:06
  Speaker 1: I have them lined up and that's why, you know.
• 1:30:08
  Speaker 1: When I say something and then like twenty minutes later,
• 1:30:11
  Speaker 1: Fred says the same thing, and I was like, thanks,
• 1:30:14
  Speaker 1: it's because he was reading emails. All right. I'm gonna
• 1:30:16
  Speaker 1: be a more understanding of Fred in that regard. And
• 1:30:18
  Speaker 1: I gotta I gotta read Andrew n La though he's
• 1:30:21
  Speaker 1: correcting you, Paul, Um, he correct away. Last week, I
• 1:30:25
  Speaker 1: wrote about possible reasons why the top offices might be struggling.
• 1:30:28
  Speaker 1: I mentioned the Rams lost ob J and Bobby Trees.
• 1:30:31
  Speaker 1: Paul then said the Rams didn't have Bobby Trees last year.
• 1:30:34
  Speaker 1: In fact, Paul Bobby played nine games for the Rams
• 1:30:37
  Speaker 1: before suffering an ACL tear. I guess it correct, didn't occur.
• 1:30:40
  Speaker 1: They didn't have him and won the Super Bowl. Bad
• 1:30:43
  Speaker 1: correction by you. He also wanted to correct that Evan
• 1:30:47
  Speaker 1: that Zappy was drafted after Malik Will So, yes, I
• 1:30:52
  Speaker 1: pointed that out on all right, that's all I got
• 1:30:55
  Speaker 1: right now for emails? What are you talking about that?
• 1:30:59
  Speaker 1: I'm where you going through? Oh wait, there's a there's
• 1:31:01
  Speaker 1: an earlier one from today. Let's see build the best
• 1:31:05
  Speaker 1: player possible at each position. This is uh Anthony writing in.
• 1:31:08
  Speaker 1: He says, pick three player skill slash traits for each
• 1:31:12
  Speaker 1: position that would be a top five in the league,
• 1:31:15
  Speaker 1: but the remaining on the list are bottom five for
• 1:31:18
  Speaker 1: the position. So the example would be quarterback. He has
• 1:31:22
  Speaker 1: six skills listed, so you get to pick three that
• 1:31:25
  Speaker 1: are really good, but then the other three you have
• 1:31:26
  Speaker 1: to be really bad. This is like build a bay.
• 1:31:29
  Speaker 1: I'm just trying to give everybody in a chi I
• 1:31:30
  Speaker 1: don't really understand. Give it a dry around here. Quarterback.
• 1:31:34
  Speaker 1: So that the skills are accuracy, pocket presence, slash, quickness, athleticism, speed,
• 1:31:42
  Speaker 1: arm strength, and size. So Mahomes Mahomes. Now, so that
• 1:31:47
  Speaker 1: would probably be athleticism. If you're gonna do Mahomes, you
• 1:31:50
  Speaker 1: probably say athleticism, arm strength, and accuracy. I mean it's Josh,
• 1:31:56
  Speaker 1: Allen and Mahomes for pretty much all of them, right size. Well,
• 1:32:00
  Speaker 1: if you just go on like pure athleticism and speed,
• 1:32:04
  Speaker 1: like justin Fields Lamar Jackson, Yeah, okay, only pick two. Yep.
• 1:32:08
  Speaker 1: You didn't even go for the third one for them. No,
• 1:32:11
  Speaker 1: I'm just saying like there's a lot of different things there. Yeah,
• 1:32:14
  Speaker 1: it's hard. I mean, if you're asking the best combination
• 1:32:17
  Speaker 1: Fred's got. Yeah, Mahomes and Allen have the combination. I
• 1:32:20
  Speaker 1: would say speed Jackson, you know, just speed because I
• 1:32:24
  Speaker 1: don't see a lot of people catching him. No, Um,
• 1:32:28
  Speaker 1: pure athleticism probably Mahomes, arm strength, Alan accuracy to accuracy.
• 1:32:35
  Speaker 1: You know, people are telling me that Ta is really accurate.
• 1:32:40
  Speaker 1: To me, I mean he's got what Drew Brees had,
• 1:32:44
  Speaker 1: you know, I feel like that's such a thing for
• 1:32:45
  Speaker 1: quarterbacks to that, Like, No, he's really accurate, like really
• 1:32:49
  Speaker 1: like how like with TWA I see it, but like
• 1:32:51
  Speaker 1: I don't know with some quarterbacks, Like is he that accurate? Though?
• 1:32:54
  Speaker 1: I mean is he but See, here's the thing about accuracy.
• 1:32:57
  Speaker 1: It's not so much Oh I can hit you know,
• 1:33:00
  Speaker 1: a target from forty yards away. I can hit a
• 1:33:04
  Speaker 1: moving target from forty yards away. So it's matching up
• 1:33:07
  Speaker 1: knowing your arm speed with each player on your team,
• 1:33:11
  Speaker 1: you know, And that to me is where the difference is.
• 1:33:16
  Speaker 1: You know, um, like Brady is behind players a lot,
• 1:33:20
  Speaker 1: you know, because there's some players that are faster than others.
• 1:33:22
  Speaker 1: And as a good quarterback, you know, Okay, so one
• 1:33:27
  Speaker 1: shows my target, I need to throw it a little
• 1:33:29
  Speaker 1: faster because he's faster, you know, or a little slower.
• 1:33:33
  Speaker 1: You know. That's that's part of being accurate in the NFL.
• 1:33:37
  Speaker 1: It's not just hitting you know, how can I hit
• 1:33:39
  Speaker 1: the barrel from fifty yards away? It's it's knowing all
• 1:33:43
  Speaker 1: your your receivers. That's a good point. Now, It's it's
• 1:33:47
  Speaker 1: there's a lot to it. Some of these are kind
• 1:33:49
  Speaker 1: of like ven diagrams too, where it's kind of overlapped,
• 1:33:51
  Speaker 1: like wide receiver. He's got speed, catching ability, lateral quickness,
• 1:33:56
  Speaker 1: separation and route running, toughness and intelligence. So you know,
• 1:34:00
  Speaker 1: like quickness and speed that kind of overlaps with separation,
• 1:34:04
  Speaker 1: route running, lateral quickness, separation. It's hard. You don't know that.
• 1:34:09
  Speaker 1: I mean in terms of just like the route running,
• 1:34:12
  Speaker 1: Like you ever watched Stefon Diggs, Just like this rate
• 1:34:16
  Speaker 1: it's an art form. Yeah, and I and I loved
• 1:34:18
  Speaker 1: like I loved the Minnesota guys. I don't know if
• 1:34:22
  Speaker 1: you guys listen to any of the radio calls that
• 1:34:24
  Speaker 1: were playing yesterday in Buffalo and Minnesota, and uh, the
• 1:34:29
  Speaker 1: Minnesota guy goes, they come to Buffalo and they decleaded
• 1:34:32
  Speaker 1: Stefon Diggs. Diggs are like twelve catches for hundred and
• 1:34:36
  Speaker 1: forty yards. It's like what what what planet does that involve?
• 1:34:39
  Speaker 1: Like yeah, they held them to thirty points and twelve catches,
• 1:34:42
  Speaker 1: Like yeah, yeah, great. I mean you have justin Jefferson,
• 1:34:46
  Speaker 1: Like wouldn't you just be happy if you were Minnesota?
• 1:34:48
  Speaker 1: Like we made a trade for a first round pick
• 1:34:51
  Speaker 1: and we got a guy who might even be better
• 1:34:53
  Speaker 1: at the very least. He's in the conversation like what
• 1:34:57
  Speaker 1: like what's the what's the big deal? What do you
• 1:34:59
  Speaker 1: what's the hatred for Diggs? I don't like Diggs. I
• 1:35:03
  Speaker 1: just want to get that there and now I at
• 1:35:05
  Speaker 1: least like can there's just something about him to me.
• 1:35:08
  Speaker 1: So you want to talk about it, he's good. But
• 1:35:10
  Speaker 1: you want to talk about route running. Take a guy
• 1:35:14
  Speaker 1: like Edelman. Okay, Edelman, I don't know if he was
• 1:35:17
  Speaker 1: a great route runner, but he was great at playing
• 1:35:20
  Speaker 1: off the receiver, like guy's leaning this way, I'm gonna
• 1:35:24
  Speaker 1: go that way, and then having a quarterback that would
• 1:35:27
  Speaker 1: see him do it, you know. But he was great
• 1:35:29
  Speaker 1: at like, you know, understanding like how to playoff a receiver. Yeah,
• 1:35:33
  Speaker 1: he was great at it. Yeah, it wasn't necessarily a
• 1:35:37
  Speaker 1: great route though. I love I loved hearing him talk.
• 1:35:40
  Speaker 1: I think it was last year about just the hours
• 1:35:42
  Speaker 1: of him and Brady and and how much best specific
• 1:35:46
  Speaker 1: detail goes into everything that they kind of did. And
• 1:35:49
  Speaker 1: you know just what Brady was demanding of and what
• 1:35:51
  Speaker 1: he probably pushed Edelman towards. But and you know who
• 1:35:54
  Speaker 1: must have been a good route runner is Welker? Oh? Like,
• 1:35:57
  Speaker 1: how do you get open that? Oh my gosh, how
• 1:35:59
  Speaker 1: do you always get just a yard beyond the stick?
• 1:36:01
  Speaker 1: How do you you know? Like, just it was amazing
• 1:36:05
  Speaker 1: as I missed a nice little player. Yeah that you found, Matt. Thanks,
• 1:36:14
  Speaker 1: not one of my brighter moments. All right, let's Day
• 1:36:18
  Speaker 1: and Bethlehem. Which is most correctable? Now? Designer routes, scheme,
• 1:36:23
  Speaker 1: shorter routes, players dogging routes, ol blocking. What's what's most correctable? Yeah,
• 1:36:31
  Speaker 1: if players are dogging it, you can correct that, get
• 1:36:34
  Speaker 1: rid of them. Yeah, we'll get someone out there will
• 1:36:38
  Speaker 1: play hard. Right, Oh, blocking too. Frank Nixon is waiting
• 1:36:41
  Speaker 1: in the wings. Um, all right, this is ELI and
• 1:36:47
  Speaker 1: Packer Land and uh, he says, guys. Since it's the
• 1:36:51
  Speaker 1: bye week, I've been doing some thinking. I haven't been
• 1:36:53
  Speaker 1: excited about a single win the team has had thus far,
• 1:36:55
  Speaker 1: and I think I finally figured out why. I'm ready
• 1:36:57
  Speaker 1: to change. We had two goats, Brady Bill, and I
• 1:37:00
  Speaker 1: wanted to give Bill a chance with Mac, But now
• 1:37:02
  Speaker 1: I'm just becoming more and more convinced that Mac isn't
• 1:37:04
  Speaker 1: the guy, and with his age, I'm not sure Bill
• 1:37:06
  Speaker 1: will be here for the next one. And after how
• 1:37:08
  Speaker 1: Mack and the coaching staff has been handled, do we
• 1:37:10
  Speaker 1: want it to be No, I don't know who else.
• 1:37:12
  Speaker 1: I want. Bill's the best, but it just feels like
• 1:37:15
  Speaker 1: we're holding on to another era rather than starting a new.
• 1:37:18
  Speaker 1: ELI and Packer. Well, I think, and I'm not going
• 1:37:21
  Speaker 1: to try to tell you how you feel. But I
• 1:37:24
  Speaker 1: think that there's a lot of people that haven't necessarily
• 1:37:27
  Speaker 1: been overly excited about the wins because of the way
• 1:37:30
  Speaker 1: that they've come come about. You know, like the Cleveland game,
• 1:37:33
  Speaker 1: I think was one that people looked and say, hey,
• 1:37:35
  Speaker 1: this is that was pretty exciting. They made some plays, Taekwon,
• 1:37:38
  Speaker 1: Thornton getting involved in the offense, Bailey Zappy thrown for
• 1:37:41
  Speaker 1: three hundred yards. You know, you're moving the ball. You know,
• 1:37:44
  Speaker 1: you took Cleveland's offense, which had been pretty productive to
• 1:37:47
  Speaker 1: that point, and you you held it in check. But
• 1:37:50
  Speaker 1: then you had games like the Colts game and the
• 1:37:53
  Speaker 1: Jets game, and you know in Detroit where you kind
• 1:37:57
  Speaker 1: of just won because the other team made a slow
• 1:37:59
  Speaker 1: miss bakes and set up a lot of easy field
• 1:38:02
  Speaker 1: goals and there was nothing really exciting about them. So, like,
• 1:38:06
  Speaker 1: I can't understand if you looked at some of those
• 1:38:08
  Speaker 1: wins and said, yeah, we won. We've won half of
• 1:38:10
  Speaker 1: these games, but you know, for the most part, the
• 1:38:14
  Speaker 1: other team just kind of handed it to us. Yeah,
• 1:38:16
  Speaker 1: but I do think too, and I totally agree, and
• 1:38:18
  Speaker 1: I mean, I think that's the heart of the whole matter.
• 1:38:21
  Speaker 1: And they were bad teams too. It's not even like
• 1:38:23
  Speaker 1: you you know, like the Jets was the best win
• 1:38:25
  Speaker 1: they've had, and you kind of flirted with it last
• 1:38:27
  Speaker 1: year with the Tampa game, the Dallas game, you know
• 1:38:29
  Speaker 1: what I mean, not to say that you know they
• 1:38:30
  Speaker 1: were great, but but you know they were competitive games
• 1:38:32
  Speaker 1: where you just were excited and invested and you know,
• 1:38:35
  Speaker 1: you felt like, hey, we're kind of going toe to
• 1:38:36
  Speaker 1: toe with a team right here, and you know, how's
• 1:38:38
  Speaker 1: it going to end at the end. But I agree
• 1:38:41
  Speaker 1: with the bigger, the bigger point of just you know,
• 1:38:43
  Speaker 1: even that Bill's game too. I mean, I know weather
• 1:38:45
  Speaker 1: and all that, but like after that moment, you just
• 1:38:47
  Speaker 1: felt like, we're back first seed. But do you have
• 1:38:50
  Speaker 1: any fears of the Jets doing what Buffalo did last year?
• 1:38:54
  Speaker 1: And like, so the Buffalo lost that game, and everybody
• 1:39:00
  Speaker 1: just said, they go, the Bills being the Bills, you know,
• 1:39:04
  Speaker 1: you know, the Jerry Thorntons, you know, Belichick renting space
• 1:39:07
  Speaker 1: and Sean mcdermot's come to Jesus, you know, and then right,
• 1:39:11
  Speaker 1: you know, everybody said they're done, right, and then they
• 1:39:13
  Speaker 1: go and lose in overtime the next week in Tampa
• 1:39:17
  Speaker 1: in a game that they probably should have won after
• 1:39:19
  Speaker 1: they made that amazing comeback, and you're like, they are
• 1:39:24
  Speaker 1: du when done. Yeah, and they never lost a game
• 1:39:27
  Speaker 1: Like it's like, do you have any fear of the
• 1:39:30
  Speaker 1: Jets maybe looking at that game two weeks ago and saying,
• 1:39:34
  Speaker 1: you know, we we should have won this game. We
• 1:39:36
  Speaker 1: just handed this game to them on a silver platter.
• 1:39:38
  Speaker 1: They did nothing to beat us. We just beat ourselves
• 1:39:40
  Speaker 1: they had, Josh Allen, I'd be afraid. I agree. No,
• 1:39:44
  Speaker 1: I agree with everything you just said. I think they're similarities,
• 1:39:47
  Speaker 1: but they're missing a huge piece of that. Josh Allen
• 1:39:51
  Speaker 1: refused to let them lose in that game the day
• 1:39:53
  Speaker 1: after Christmas. Here. I just think that's one of these
• 1:39:57
  Speaker 1: these feels like one of those games where you kind
• 1:39:58
  Speaker 1: of have to win it, but even if you do
• 1:40:00
  Speaker 1: win it, you're not going to really feel like and
• 1:40:02
  Speaker 1: they should because I think the Jets are are a
• 1:40:04
  Speaker 1: good team, but unless unless they go out there and
• 1:40:07
  Speaker 1: beat them straight up where it isn't How about if
• 1:40:10
  Speaker 1: nobody turns the ball over and you win sixteen thirteen
• 1:40:13
  Speaker 1: like there's no asterisk thing. Oh, Paulia took the words
• 1:40:16
  Speaker 1: out of my mouth. If the Jets don't hand you
• 1:40:18
  Speaker 1: the game and you win it, then it's a great win.
• 1:40:22
  Speaker 1: Right like if if I understand, if you if you
• 1:40:26
  Speaker 1: end up like plus three in turnovers again and you
• 1:40:30
  Speaker 1: and you win the game by a score like you
• 1:40:32
  Speaker 1: did the last time. Yeah, all right, okay, we won,
• 1:40:35
  Speaker 1: but sooner or later the other team is not just
• 1:40:37
  Speaker 1: going to hand us the game. And what happens when
• 1:40:39
  Speaker 1: we play a team with a good offense. Yeah, but
• 1:40:42
  Speaker 1: if if there's like not a not a tremendous amount
• 1:40:44
  Speaker 1: of like huge asterisks mistakes and you get to find
• 1:40:51
  Speaker 1: a way, you got to find a way to win
• 1:40:52
  Speaker 1: the game. Yeah, let's go to Ben in Newton and
• 1:40:57
  Speaker 1: I think they what's up? Ben? Tease for thirty doing good?
• 1:41:02
  Speaker 1: So here's what I'm falling about. So obviously, like off season,
• 1:41:06
  Speaker 1: I remember, like when we went in the off season,
• 1:41:08
  Speaker 1: all the worries were on the defense, right, ye obviously
• 1:41:11
  Speaker 1: that but like last year, think about how much our
• 1:41:18
  Speaker 1: defense fell off. And right now, I mean, right now
• 1:41:22
  Speaker 1: we're in the playoff picture, but it's only really because
• 1:41:25
  Speaker 1: of our defense. Do you think our defense is gonna
• 1:41:27
  Speaker 1: hold us? I mean, we can't have what happened last
• 1:41:29
  Speaker 1: year where our defense does amazing. First, it's a good question,
• 1:41:34
  Speaker 1: and all of a sudden we stink, Yeah, that's a
• 1:41:36
  Speaker 1: good question. I mean, that's exactly. That's one of the
• 1:41:38
  Speaker 1: things that happened last year is the defense wasn't as good. Now,
• 1:41:42
  Speaker 1: Paul will remind us that the other thing that happened
• 1:41:44
  Speaker 1: is they started playing better teams, you know, and that's
• 1:41:48
  Speaker 1: what's going to happen this year too. So you know,
• 1:41:49
  Speaker 1: and I think to the to the other emailer's point
• 1:41:52
  Speaker 1: of just not feeling great about wins, it's like, you know,
• 1:41:54
  Speaker 1: like that they're gonna have to win some of those
• 1:41:56
  Speaker 1: games now, Like they're gonna have to win or feel
• 1:41:58
  Speaker 1: good game here down the stretch if they're gonna make
• 1:42:00
  Speaker 1: the playoffs. Like all right, thanks Ben, it's uh, you know,
• 1:42:03
  Speaker 1: and again like you know, just I mean last year, yeah,
• 1:42:05
  Speaker 1: they got three takeaways against the Jaguars. Other than that,
• 1:42:08
  Speaker 1: Colts Bills, Dolphins Bills, those four games, you know, one takeaway.
• 1:42:12
  Speaker 1: So I just think it's the defense has got to
• 1:42:15
  Speaker 1: keep the pressure up. I think judeon Dietrich Wise, you
• 1:42:17
  Speaker 1: can't have Tetrick Wise suddenly go back to what Teatrick
• 1:42:19
  Speaker 1: Wise used to being. I like about this U as
• 1:42:22
  Speaker 1: opposed to last year, is guys are making plays. It's
• 1:42:26
  Speaker 1: not just Jude On, it's you know, guys all over
• 1:42:30
  Speaker 1: up and down the defense are making plays. And so
• 1:42:33
  Speaker 1: I think they're a little bit more well rounded on
• 1:42:37
  Speaker 1: defense this year than they were last year. Definitely not
• 1:42:40
  Speaker 1: the same flavor with high Tower and Van Noy and
• 1:42:42
  Speaker 1: you know, I know those guys made all those guys,
• 1:42:44
  Speaker 1: but they weren't playing that way and and and they
• 1:42:46
  Speaker 1: weren't and they starts the bad teams they did. Yeah,
• 1:42:48
  Speaker 1: earlier in the year against the bad teams, they were
• 1:42:50
  Speaker 1: you know, they were the Boogeyman again. But Kyle van
• 1:42:53
  Speaker 1: Noy at the pick six and that Thursday and Height
• 1:42:54
  Speaker 1: games and we were just talking about earlieras Atlanta. So
• 1:42:57
  Speaker 1: you know, right, that's what I'm saying. And that's when
• 1:42:59
  Speaker 1: you're making the plays against bad teeth. Yeah, So the
• 1:43:01
  Speaker 1: whole I mean, the hope is that you know, guys
• 1:43:03
  Speaker 1: like Gilani Tavai mac Wilson, that these new faces that
• 1:43:06
  Speaker 1: are playing more are you know, are not going to
• 1:43:09
  Speaker 1: go into a cocoon and you know kind of be
• 1:43:10
  Speaker 1: like the season's over, like these are guys that you know,
• 1:43:13
  Speaker 1: haven't won around here and have things to prove. And
• 1:43:15
  Speaker 1: just because it doesn't look like the Patriots or a
• 1:43:17
  Speaker 1: super Bowl team, you know still are going to play
• 1:43:20
  Speaker 1: at a high level and you know, be able to
• 1:43:21
  Speaker 1: to knock off some of these good teams at the
• 1:43:23
  Speaker 1: end of the season. Right And just because it didn't
• 1:43:25
  Speaker 1: happen last year doesn't mean it won't happen this year.
• 1:43:28
  Speaker 1: And you have opportunities against some teams that are a
• 1:43:32
  Speaker 1: little bit better offensively to show that you're you're a
• 1:43:38
  Speaker 1: you're a different defense. Like no one's asking them to
• 1:43:41
  Speaker 1: go out and shut out Buffalo or shut out Kansas
• 1:43:44
  Speaker 1: City or you know whatever. But can you can you
• 1:43:48
  Speaker 1: at least I knew he was gonna say that, can
• 1:43:52
  Speaker 1: you at least be competitive and find a way to
• 1:43:55
  Speaker 1: you know, win a twenty four or seventeen kind of
• 1:43:58
  Speaker 1: kind of a game. I mean, that's asking a lot,
• 1:44:00
  Speaker 1: but you know that that can happen against arizonas did it. Yeah,
• 1:44:05
  Speaker 1: you know, you should be able, you should be able
• 1:44:08
  Speaker 1: to expect something like that. You know, the Bills are tough.
• 1:44:14
  Speaker 1: I mean, that's a tough offense to deal with, and
• 1:44:16
  Speaker 1: I think they're good enough defensively that even if they
• 1:44:18
  Speaker 1: don't blow your doors off right away, their defense will
• 1:44:21
  Speaker 1: keep them in the game and allow their offense to
• 1:44:23
  Speaker 1: get going. Yeah. I just I don't know how as
• 1:44:25
  Speaker 1: a you know, as a Patriots, and you don't look
• 1:44:27
  Speaker 1: at what the Jets did, which you know, the Jets
• 1:44:29
  Speaker 1: similar team to the Patriots, good defense, offenses, you know,
• 1:44:31
  Speaker 1: missing pieces and sporadic and you know, if they're able
• 1:44:34
  Speaker 1: to pull off an upset, you know, why why can't
• 1:44:37
  Speaker 1: we do it? Why not? Ye? Well, yeah, I mean
• 1:44:40
  Speaker 1: there's always that chance. Yeah, I don't have much. I mean,
• 1:44:43
  Speaker 1: it looks I guess, I guess like he's trying to
• 1:44:45
  Speaker 1: convince if the if the season ended today, we'd be
• 1:44:49
  Speaker 1: in the playoffs, right, Yeah, yeah, And that's why I
• 1:44:51
  Speaker 1: just like, how about that? The only the only thing
• 1:44:53
  Speaker 1: I want, friend, I just want to be the number
• 1:44:55
  Speaker 1: one seed, I know, and that's and that was the refrain,
• 1:44:58
  Speaker 1: and that then I don't want the refrain to be man.
• 1:45:00
  Speaker 1: In Week eleven, we were the seventh seed, you know,
• 1:45:03
  Speaker 1: like that was the highlight of the season. Yeah. And
• 1:45:05
  Speaker 1: I know, by the way, you weren't the number one
• 1:45:07
  Speaker 1: seed last year at this time. It was a couple
• 1:45:09
  Speaker 1: of weeks later, but it's it's gonna be a similar
• 1:45:12
  Speaker 1: kind of situation now. The other teams are going to
• 1:45:15
  Speaker 1: be playing their games too, Like you're in a muck
• 1:45:17
  Speaker 1: of teams at five and four and tiebreakers don't count
• 1:45:21
  Speaker 1: in week eleven like that, you're in the playoffs right
• 1:45:24
  Speaker 1: now because a tiebreakers, So who knows what those tiebreakers
• 1:45:26
  Speaker 1: would look like, you know at the end of the year.
• 1:45:29
  Speaker 1: I mean that a lot of things can change, but
• 1:45:31
  Speaker 1: you have opportunities to beat teams that are going to
• 1:45:33
  Speaker 1: be in the playoff structure. Yeah, last year you couldn't
• 1:45:36
  Speaker 1: do it. If you do it this year, you're gonna
• 1:45:37
  Speaker 1: have a chance to be in the playoffs. It's all
• 1:45:39
  Speaker 1: in their own hands. I mean, you play Cincinnati, you
• 1:45:41
  Speaker 1: play Buffalo twice, you play Miami. I mean those are
• 1:45:43
  Speaker 1: all teams that are you know, Miami and Buffalo are
• 1:45:45
  Speaker 1: probably already in, but you know, Cincinnati's in the mix.
• 1:45:47
  Speaker 1: I mean, Arizona is you know, feels like they're kind
• 1:45:50
  Speaker 1: of putting things together a little bit. It's that's why
• 1:45:52
  Speaker 1: it's just this Jets team. They're in the playoffs right now.
• 1:45:54
  Speaker 1: So it's just every single game is is meaningful and
• 1:45:57
  Speaker 1: going to have a big impact on what they're trying
• 1:45:59
  Speaker 1: to do. Yeah, but it's all about the offense at
• 1:46:02
  Speaker 1: this point. Yeah. Yeah, and they find something they gotta do. Yeah.
• 1:46:07
  Speaker 1: You know, it's hard to imagine that you're gonna continue
• 1:46:11
  Speaker 1: to get points set up for you right every week,
• 1:46:15
  Speaker 1: and there's gonna there's gonna be games where you're gonna
• 1:46:17
  Speaker 1: be behind and you're gonna have to come back. Can
• 1:46:20
  Speaker 1: you do it? Can mac do it? You know? And
• 1:46:22
  Speaker 1: what was that stat? Twenty six points? I think twenty
• 1:46:25
  Speaker 1: five or more there, oh in ten or whatever something
• 1:46:28
  Speaker 1: like that. Yes, the very defined, a very defined. You know,
• 1:46:33
  Speaker 1: people were thinking the same thing about the Eagles, you know,
• 1:46:35
  Speaker 1: going into last night. Can they come back? And they
• 1:46:39
  Speaker 1: could have, They could have and they have, Like they
• 1:46:42
  Speaker 1: went down fourteen nothing early in the game against Jacksonville
• 1:46:45
  Speaker 1: at home and a driving rainstorm. That was before Jacksonville
• 1:46:48
  Speaker 1: started losing. Yeah, Um, they have at least done it. Um.
• 1:46:54
  Speaker 1: Then they've won shootouts, they won thirty eight thirty five
• 1:46:56
  Speaker 1: earlier in the year. Like they've won different ways. The
• 1:46:59
  Speaker 1: Patriots haven't. Patriots haven't won in different ways. They win
• 1:47:02
  Speaker 1: one way, they get the lead in a lower scoring
• 1:47:05
  Speaker 1: game and they win. Yeah, It's just kind of a
• 1:47:07
  Speaker 1: contrast too for me of of watching the Eagles and
• 1:47:10
  Speaker 1: you know, like a guy like Davante Smith and you know,
• 1:47:13
  Speaker 1: the Patriots taken him, I feel like there'd be so
• 1:47:15
  Speaker 1: much he's got to be the guy, Like he got
• 1:47:17
  Speaker 1: to be the number one and like there he's like
• 1:47:20
  Speaker 1: their slot receiver. Like I mean, you know what I mean.
• 1:47:21
  Speaker 1: It's like these teams that draft well in the first
• 1:47:25
  Speaker 1: round and you know they're they're down a little bit,
• 1:47:28
  Speaker 1: they maybe ta have a few different picks. But you've
• 1:47:30
  Speaker 1: seen it with the Jets too, where it's multiple first
• 1:47:33
  Speaker 1: round picks that are starting to come into their own
• 1:47:34
  Speaker 1: and you're starting to see the talent take over in
• 1:47:37
  Speaker 1: these games. And you know, you're seeing these teams that
• 1:47:39
  Speaker 1: are progressing and getting better because they're they're having quality
• 1:47:43
  Speaker 1: drafts after draft actors calling the shots for personnel at Miami, Miami,
• 1:47:47
  Speaker 1: who is it Chris my old neighbor. Well something he's doing.
• 1:47:52
  Speaker 1: I mean it was heartening for like, you know, fans
• 1:47:56
  Speaker 1: um that want the star power to see them, you know,
• 1:48:00
  Speaker 1: get Hill, you know, go after Wattle, and both of
• 1:48:04
  Speaker 1: them are working, you know, like go after the league.
• 1:48:07
  Speaker 1: The skilled players pay the money for the guy, draft
• 1:48:11
  Speaker 1: the other guy high and it works. Is there a
• 1:48:13
  Speaker 1: guy where you think that they could so a j
• 1:48:16
  Speaker 1: Brown last year? Because I think that you're able to
• 1:48:18
  Speaker 1: put DeVante Smith in the spot that you want him
• 1:48:21
  Speaker 1: in because you went out and got an alpha on
• 1:48:22
  Speaker 1: the other side. So is there a move like that
• 1:48:26
  Speaker 1: that maybe you could see the Patriots trying to do
• 1:48:29
  Speaker 1: and you know, in the off season going out and
• 1:48:32
  Speaker 1: targeting good because essentially in a calendar year like Jerry
• 1:48:38
  Speaker 1: Judy's one that was talked about a lot of the
• 1:48:40
  Speaker 1: trade deadline. Sure, yeah, I mean I'd love it. Would
• 1:48:44
  Speaker 1: you give a first round pick for him? Nah? Judy? Yeah,
• 1:48:49
  Speaker 1: So you don't really want one like that's what it takes.
• 1:48:52
  Speaker 1: I want I want like someone even better? Yeah, I
• 1:48:55
  Speaker 1: mean okay, And how much did Miami put into their
• 1:48:58
  Speaker 1: offensive line too? Because I mean I think you're seeing
• 1:49:01
  Speaker 1: these teams certainly the Jets of have invested in the
• 1:49:04
  Speaker 1: offensive line that hasn't worked out like they've hoped it would,
• 1:49:07
  Speaker 1: but the other parts kind of have. It's just such
• 1:49:09
  Speaker 1: a balancing act on offense because I think this offseason,
• 1:49:12
  Speaker 1: because that was the one first round pick that's that's
• 1:49:14
  Speaker 1: busted on him, and that's where they're lacking because you know,
• 1:49:18
  Speaker 1: Vera Tucker was a great pick for them and he's
• 1:49:20
  Speaker 1: hurt now. But Beckton wasn't playing great when he was healthy,
• 1:49:24
  Speaker 1: so that's that's been a killer for them. But you know,
• 1:49:26
  Speaker 1: from Miami, they went out and signed Armstead from New
• 1:49:29
  Speaker 1: Orleans as a left tackle and he's been in and
• 1:49:32
  Speaker 1: out too, he's been hurt, but it at least has
• 1:49:35
  Speaker 1: given them an anchor on that offensive line. I think
• 1:49:37
  Speaker 1: it's like a preview of what we're going to be
• 1:49:39
  Speaker 1: talking about in the spring because we're probably going to
• 1:49:42
  Speaker 1: come out of this season thinking, I mean, you know,
• 1:49:44
  Speaker 1: Isaiah Win has probably gone, so you're gonna definitely need
• 1:49:47
  Speaker 1: a starting tackle. I'm sure people could meet the argument
• 1:49:49
  Speaker 1: for you know, upgrading Trent Brown, but like you look
• 1:49:52
  Speaker 1: at what Philadelphia did, So is it gonna be we
• 1:49:55
  Speaker 1: gotta protect Mac or is it gonna be we gotta
• 1:49:58
  Speaker 1: get Mac? You know, a real up and with you know,
• 1:50:00
  Speaker 1: with Agalore his contracts up, Jacobe Myers contract is up,
• 1:50:04
  Speaker 1: I mean you're gonna have to do something at that position.
• 1:50:07
  Speaker 1: So well, what about this? How about you target the
• 1:50:10
  Speaker 1: skill guys early mid round? You target the offensive lineman
• 1:50:15
  Speaker 1: and you go hire yourself like kick ass offensive line coach.
• 1:50:20
  Speaker 1: I mean, and that's kind of what I was saying.
• 1:50:22
  Speaker 1: That's I don't know, John Schmerguson, Yeah, coach the hell
• 1:50:26
  Speaker 1: Joe Joe, you know, oh great, great offensive line coach,
• 1:50:31
  Speaker 1: great Offeni knows those hogs. But I mean, that's kind
• 1:50:33
  Speaker 1: of what I was getting at though. It's just, you know,
• 1:50:35
  Speaker 1: the high investment in in the in the weapons and
• 1:50:38
  Speaker 1: the skill position players. And I mean the Jets with
• 1:50:40
  Speaker 1: with Sauce Garner and Garrett Wilson and two guys who
• 1:50:43
  Speaker 1: have come right in and are you know, instantly impact
• 1:50:46
  Speaker 1: players and important positions that you know, I think the
• 1:50:48
  Speaker 1: Patriots don't really have, you know, young player of that
• 1:50:51
  Speaker 1: quality on their team, as much as you want to
• 1:50:52
  Speaker 1: talk about Jack Jones this successful rookie year thus far,
• 1:50:55
  Speaker 1: but that's you know, can you can you can you
• 1:50:58
  Speaker 1: make something out enohing because you're not those guys later.
• 1:51:01
  Speaker 1: I mean, you can find offensive lineman. You can find
• 1:51:03
  Speaker 1: Joe Tuney, right, you can find Shack Mason, you can
• 1:51:04
  Speaker 1: find just a franchise David and I know the tackle.
• 1:51:07
  Speaker 1: It's a little harder with left tackle. Yeah, that's the
• 1:51:10
  Speaker 1: only thing I would say. You know, that's a tough
• 1:51:14
  Speaker 1: one for me because you guys know how much I
• 1:51:16
  Speaker 1: like put the offensive line in the back burner. But
• 1:51:19
  Speaker 1: you know, like the Rashaun Slaters of the world, those
• 1:51:21
  Speaker 1: guys go in the first round and usually in the
• 1:51:24
  Speaker 1: top half of the first round, and and I haven't
• 1:51:27
  Speaker 1: you know, broken down the offensive line. Play. Know, there
• 1:51:29
  Speaker 1: were a number of tackles taken in the first round
• 1:51:31
  Speaker 1: this year, um, and some of them have panned out. Um.
• 1:51:35
  Speaker 1: You know, the kid that the Panthers took I think
• 1:51:37
  Speaker 1: has been okay a quantum yeah, aquanu um. But I
• 1:51:43
  Speaker 1: you know, you could make an argument that if I
• 1:51:46
  Speaker 1: have a chance to get a difference making skill position player,
• 1:51:49
  Speaker 1: and then I can get the tackle later, like Matt White,
• 1:51:53
  Speaker 1: second round tackle. Who was your anchor at left tackle
• 1:51:55
  Speaker 1: for you know a decade? Yeah, you know, Sebastian Volmer,
• 1:52:00
  Speaker 1: anchor at at left tackle for for a long time,
• 1:52:03
  Speaker 1: you know, at the tackle position for a long time.
• 1:52:05
  Speaker 1: Second round pick. Yep. It's hard to watch those guys
• 1:52:08
  Speaker 1: like like you know, Wattle and obviously Hill, but I
• 1:52:11
  Speaker 1: mean even you know, Davante Smith, just the quickness and
• 1:52:14
  Speaker 1: the sudden change of direction, skills. I mean, it's just
• 1:52:18
  Speaker 1: it jumps off the field. And I know we've we've
• 1:52:21
  Speaker 1: killed the Patriots weapons for for years and years at
• 1:52:23
  Speaker 1: this point, but it's just the eyeball test. To me,
• 1:52:26
  Speaker 1: It's like, you don't have a guy like just that
• 1:52:29
  Speaker 1: jumps off the screen with that ability to you know.
• 1:52:31
  Speaker 1: I mean, even Wattle a couple of plays I saw
• 1:52:33
  Speaker 1: him make this weekend where there's so many times where
• 1:52:36
  Speaker 1: you're like, oh, that defensive back is lucky he got
• 1:52:39
  Speaker 1: him down on that one, because if he didn't, that
• 1:52:41
  Speaker 1: play was gone, you know. And the Patriots they haven't
• 1:52:44
  Speaker 1: had a guy like that and forever, you know. And
• 1:52:48
  Speaker 1: I just I think we're all kind of coming to
• 1:52:49
  Speaker 1: the realization of And Evan talked about it like needing
• 1:52:52
  Speaker 1: things to be perfect for Mac. It's like, all right,
• 1:52:54
  Speaker 1: well what needs to be the most perfect? Does he
• 1:52:57
  Speaker 1: absolutely just need to feel safe in the in the
• 1:52:59
  Speaker 1: pocket and then it doesn't really I mean, I know
• 1:53:01
  Speaker 1: it will always matter, but then it can he can
• 1:53:03
  Speaker 1: deliver the ball to anybody and has that kind of
• 1:53:05
  Speaker 1: awareness smart. If every quarterback has five seconds to throw,
• 1:53:09
  Speaker 1: every quarterback is going to be good in the NFL,
• 1:53:12
  Speaker 1: you know, so you have to overcome that at some point.
• 1:53:15
  Speaker 1: You know, that's why it's it's yet because they're all
• 1:53:18
  Speaker 1: good quarterbacks, just you know, you got some of that
• 1:53:21
  Speaker 1: are much better than others. But if they're given time,
• 1:53:24
  Speaker 1: they're gonna find somebody. And I think that's what a
• 1:53:26
  Speaker 1: lot of like you know, Patriot, you know, Pomp Pomp wears,
• 1:53:29
  Speaker 1: like myself would would have said about Mac last year,
• 1:53:31
  Speaker 1: like all right, we got a guy who can distribute,
• 1:53:33
  Speaker 1: and you know he doesn't. He can just get the
• 1:53:35
  Speaker 1: ball out quick and you know, and that'll make all
• 1:53:37
  Speaker 1: the difference. And I think what we're seeing is just
• 1:53:40
  Speaker 1: that that the way the league is headed. If you
• 1:53:41
  Speaker 1: don't have one of those guys, uh, it's tough. And
• 1:53:44
  Speaker 1: because of those you know, quote unquote shortcomings, then you
• 1:53:48
  Speaker 1: got to find a way to make some some easier plays.
• 1:53:51
  Speaker 1: And that's evan argument with Tooa is you had to
• 1:53:55
  Speaker 1: work around his limitations, so you do. In doing so,
• 1:53:58
  Speaker 1: you go out and you make a trade like that
• 1:54:00
  Speaker 1: for Tyree Hill and you put him with Waddle and that,
• 1:54:04
  Speaker 1: and that allows you to maybe make some chunk plays
• 1:54:07
  Speaker 1: rather than asking him to do it all on his own. Now,
• 1:54:12
  Speaker 1: we could argue how much two has had to do
• 1:54:15
  Speaker 1: with their success. I mean I've watched enough, and more
• 1:54:18
  Speaker 1: often than not, I see him playing really well. Yeah
• 1:54:21
  Speaker 1: he delivers. All right. Um, that's gonna be it for
• 1:54:24
  Speaker 1: this edition of Patriots Unfilled. Like you everyone who reads
