And
2:34
To start off our week 14 game recap of course we're gonna start with the Vikings. Oh darn my flag is a cross room
2:41
That's okay. I don't know guys week
2:43
So is my quarters if what am I doing? No purple on right now? I'm very confident. I don't get confident
2:50
I don't even place and yeah, I'm very confident. I don't even need the purple
2:54
To show how devoted I am we got
2:57
Planks coming
3:01
Kevin's coming through the bowl
3:05
Yes, sir 11 and 2 moving to 6 and 1 at home in the bank
3:10
Kirk's homecoming kind of I guess you could say homecoming maybe not
3:14
Who'd yeah, how do you feel about that? I?
3:17
Like I said last week if I was there I went to boot
3:20
Yeah, and I did it and I appreciate what he did for us for six years
3:24
And I and I was able to get get to the game this week
3:27
And like those booze are a lot louder than they were on TV
3:31
Like it was it was very loud in there and for me it's like I couldn't I could I didn't either
3:35
I couldn't boo the guy that's third all-time in passing for the Vikings
3:40
I think first in passing touchdowns even in Vikings history
3:43
I mean how I mean yes, he didn't get us with a big game, and that was annoying right yeah, but
3:48
But every quarterback we ever had has been a nice
3:51
Not exactly
3:53
For sure
3:55
We are all in for Super Bowls
3:57
Turns out you know so there's that little tidbit
3:59
But the guy that replaced Kirk Cousins Sam Darnold going 22 for 28 with Sam
4:03
Slamming five TDs is he putting himself back in the MVP race?
4:09
He is
4:11
He has to be at this point. You know like who else?
4:15
Is he competing against I?
4:17
Don't know I mean like Patrick is I you know or Lamar. It's kind of downgraded at this point right?
4:24
Barkley probably say I was a voter
4:27
I was a voter so that's kind of where we're sitting at right now. It's almost like on the he's not a very flashy pick though for
4:35
For MVP you know what I mean? I'm not trying to say that that matters but quarterback
4:39
I mean like MVP was made for the Darnold you know I mean, but same time he's five Tuddy's he's eating right now
4:46
Again another great week against a good defense. I mean they were
4:51
Some would say a good defense, but this week not so well
4:54
I mean their secondary was considered their strong exactly and all five touchdowns given up this weekend. I
5:00
Wouldn't say that anymore, but they definitely needed to go look at it again
5:04
So 130 yards to each Jay Jedis and Jordan Addison exactly five touchdowns between them best dual in the league
5:11
Yeah, all hands. I mean it's got to be up there, and it's not that it'd be true
5:16
And it's not even just this game. Oh in there. Yeah, I mean he has Hawkinson has this game. She's definitely the tree
5:22
Number three for us back quite. No. No he's still getting knocking the rust off. It's good to see Josh Oliver out there running around
5:28
Yeah, I see the emotion on a play, and I was like oh, yeah, yes, sir and Aaron Jones had another good week, too
5:33
So I mean great. Yeah, I mean to have it back to back been me the last two weeks
5:37
He was you know was struggling with the fumbles this week no fumbles at all
5:40
I could tell right away the way he was running the ball. He's been holding onto that rock all weekend
5:44
Oh, yeah, you can see he was boom and all you know any time
5:48
I saw it a little bit watching back on the tape a little bit so but hey it was a nice win overall defense
5:55
Couple three turnovers, so I will two turnovers in special team. Yeah, so it was overall was solid
6:02
You know and of course we'll get to it in a minute
6:04
But of course the vikes couldn't get any help from the Packers this week God forbid we ask we ask one time
6:10
For help from the Packers we can't even get it, but whatever we'll get to that so the vikes still 11 and 2 second in the division
6:16
second in the division at 11 and 2 with Detroit being at 12 and 1 that's just ridiculous, but whatever
6:23
I like it makes it fun again
6:26
To be in this scenario. Yeah, yeah, oh yeah for sure and if the vikes don't get the one seed or the division
6:31
You know we play Atlanta away or Tampa or Tampa away
6:35
And that's a winnable game for the Vikings I feel confident. Yeah, that was the team we played oh yeah for sure for sure
6:42
Well, and let's talk about Atlanta really quick there. They now fall to six and seven which now puts them in second place of their division
6:49
You know Tampa Bay sitting there at seven and six still only a game out for sure the only
6:54
Game tiebreaker, so last week. I know you already listened to this. You know while you're sitting on a forklift
6:59
I already know it yeah, did I mention that last week? I I can't remember I was meeting to him like I know Dom
7:04
You're listening to this right now
7:06
I wanted to mention that but anyway
7:08
We mentioned last week how
7:10
You know you don't pull Kirk Cousins right now right because you know you're heading to the playoffs
7:15
You know well Kirk just added another two picks which makes six in the last two weeks for the last two outings for Kirk
7:21
Cousins eight in the last four weeks, and you're one and you're one you're one game out
7:25
Yeah, right you're one you're one game out of the division
7:30
You got to stay with Kurt you guys stay with the veteran you can't put Michael Penax in there all right?
7:34
He's not he's not ready to do the play in that kind of situation
7:38
It's a lot of stuff on his back and to put Michael Penax in there would be a lot doing him a disservice
7:44
Yeah, that would be because say he say he fumbles and crumbles
7:48
But some say he is also played a lot of college balls
7:51
So he is the veteran cat or back that you know the other people would say I'm with you more in that scenario
7:58
But that that's what other people would say that
8:01
Why wouldn't you not give him an opportunity after?
8:05
What's this three weeks four weeks of no play no touch
8:11
Yeah, he's still throwing for crazy yards, and don't get me wrong
8:14
What Kirk does well as he just finds the open spot in his own you know and he just picked picks that but it's also a lot
8:20
Of the time it's coming off that play action and Bijon had a great day
8:23
Oh, I mean Bijon is exactly who we thought he was like he was tough to tackle
8:28
Literally takes three four five guys just bring him to the ground about how he blocks
8:32
He's another lineman on the line. Yeah, the way he blocks. He's holding down anybody literally. It's crazy
8:38
Nobody was really getting through there. It was tough until we were really bringing that extra guy in there and the pressure and
8:44
Not holding those zones like it was pretty much over for Kirk cousins at that point. Yeah, yeah, no for sure
8:50
That second half was a completely different game in that fourth quarter just went crazy, and I mean
8:55
Yeah, Sam Donald came in and closed the game man
8:58
I mean Sam made that play especially on that that one or he kind of got out of that blitz
9:03
They called on that third down and following Jefferson on that
9:08
Slot corner back
9:11
Where JJ was wide open
9:17
That
9:18
But that right there him going backwards in the end zone made me feel real real good for the rest of the game
9:23
I'm like all right. We got this team. Not only is winning games, but they have swag. It's unlike the 2022 Vikings
9:31
Which is actually what I think the Chiefs are turning into right now, but don't don't get me started there
9:36
Yeah, but they could be a first-round exit now, and I thought I had them as a rule of favor, but anyway
9:41
Off track let's move on Packers traveling to Detroit
9:47
By the way vikes in the dub 42 21
9:49
I don't think I mentioned the score just okay, just I had to rub it in Detroit getting the win here 34 31
9:56
Oh by the way D Angela our Lions fan is gonna be here tonight
10:00
He will be here next week could not could not make it this evening
10:03
But he will be here next week and we do have another Lions game that we will be talking about later
10:09
That will be happening this week, so he'll be here for that. Okay. I can't wait to hear all that talk
10:14
All that talk sounds like a lion's den in here. Yeah, yeah
10:24
Anyway
10:26
So the Packers playing the kiddies then in Detroit, but Detroit getting the win
10:31
34 30 you know we can talk all this and then D Angela's gonna come back next week. I'm not saying any of that
10:36
Yeah, you might be
10:39
I'll do the meow for him
10:41
Yeah
10:43
Yeah, anyway, Detroit getting the win 34 31 moving to 12 and one just an absolute
10:49
Wagon as some of the hockey fans like to say in this state, but as Trey is like to said as well
10:55
I think a Cody did too, but yeah, no great game interesting game
11:01
We know Dan Campbell's aggressive. We know he's going for it on those fourth downs. Yeah
11:06
The one that made me nervous was that third quarter fourth down where for the fourth quarter fourth down?
11:12
I already knew it was coming. You know it's Dan Campbell. You know they you know they're gonna go for it
11:17
Their side of the field correct
11:18
I thought that was wild because you're on their side of the field and you saw they didn't get it and
11:24
Because of that it changed the momentum of the game
11:26
And it made it closer than it probably should have been and I picked the Packers to win
11:30
I thought they had a chance
11:31
But at that point the Lions had a real good opportunity to put the game not out of reach yet
11:36
They had a better opportunity to put points on the board because Packers did go down and score on that drive true
11:41
And so it gave actually the opportunity for them to lose
11:45
For sure it created the opportunity
11:48
Which I didn't think was existing at that time
11:50
And I had the same point and I was actually kind of cheering because I even though I picked the Lions at that point
11:56
I was like I hope actually they don't get it right here
11:59
So I let make it interesting in it and exactly what happened so I put one down to a kneel handoff
12:05
So everyone on the rules. It's not college football
12:08
You have it's not a kneel he tripped so it's not a kneel
12:13
Figure it out
12:14
You're not for sure nobody touched them yet either
12:16
Exactly I had a deal on Twitter. It's a lot of new general life of football
12:25
You dealt with a bunch of people on Twitter under banner with the boys handle, right? Yeah
12:30
So I guess if you want some some Rob midday football antics come get it. He's the game
12:36
I guess go find it on X
12:38
The boys pod find it. Yeah, yeah
12:42
But yeah, no seriously created that opportunity
12:45
The Lions escaped with it great kick. I don't think what's his name Bates that their kicker
12:51
That dude's been pretty solid all year
12:53
So yeah, you do got to have a solid kicker heading into the playoffs
12:56
So one against us at least say but they didn't trust him in the third quarter hit that field goal right there instead
13:01
You know what I mean? I'm just kidding. That's just
13:03
I'm making
13:05
I'm creating stories that aren't there
13:07
But if I can add one tape before we end it
13:09
I think the biggest thing I out of this whole game is looking how
13:13
Injury the defensive side is for Detroit. The Lions are very banged up. Yeah moving forward
13:20
They got to get help, you know, yeah the against the Packers
13:23
They made it through that game
13:25
But moving forward that might be an issue and something we can look forward to to look forward that they're very banged up on that
13:31
You fancy side and even on the offensive side do the do the Lions get the number one seed?
13:36
So there's what four games left? Yep four games left including this week. All right
13:41
No, oh my lines it well, but I mean, it's a very real possibility though
13:46
That's not just us being homers, but but I mean we also have a very tough path
13:50
You know, we sure Seattle and the Eagles wiggle their way in there technically they can for sure
13:56
You know, there's probably they're hot right now would be is easier than both the Lions the Vikings. I
14:02
Guess that's competing for the one seed. Yeah, that would be that'd be a travesty though
14:06
If the Lions if it came down to them not being
14:09
healthy enough heading into the playoffs and it just
14:12
Skids do a halt like that. I as much you know, they're in the division
14:16
I don't want to see that to happen if I'd rather be the healthy Detroit Lions true
14:20
But that's also the reality of extending the NFL season. Yeah
14:26
You know like college football actually is going through this scenario right now they're extending
14:31
17 games long in the national championship game
14:35
The coaches right now is like these players have never played this length before
14:39
We don't really know what's gonna happen. Exactly kids at that point to me. You're talking about like 18 19 year old guys
14:45
Yeah, but even on the NFL side, they're still that aspect of it is like it's still your best ability is your availability
14:52
That's right. Yeah, absolutely. Of course
14:56
With that again lines getting the dub 34 31
15:00
Taking full charge of the NFL
15:02
34 31 taking full charge of first place in MC North
15:07
And Packers taking a solid third place. So whatever
15:11
Uh pack. Oh, yeah. No, no, no pack. No, sorry rob rob
15:17
He doesn't know where he is right now. Don't don't worry about rob. He's just stirring the pot. Yeah. Yeah
15:22
Uh moving on moving on game three here the I saw tyler's pick. What do you need to go one and four this week?
15:28
Whoa, no, I I went three and two buddy. I'd hire the other one. Oh, yeah
15:33
No, he did go one and four. Yeah, he wasn't the worst. That's good to hear
15:39
See how the leader so I got you can take I didn't even get to that
15:43
We're gonna have to it's gonna be under the pot
15:46
So see how it's getting the win 30 to 18 over the Arizona Cardinals a big division game
15:52
Cardinals really needed a win there to kind of stay afloat if you will these last few weeks
15:56
They are still floating but
15:58
Uh, they they really needed to have that at home
16:02
Um, and it just really never felt like it was there for too many miscues offensively, honestly
16:08
Um, how they had some bad picks he had they were bad picks. Um, a roll two passes in a row. Yeah, just ugly
16:15
Ducks and they were the lofty ones. They weren't the darts. Yeah weird bounce ones. They were
16:20
Floters, right? I mean James Connors still showed up, you know earning his earning his money, but it just yeah
16:27
The mistakes were too much to overcome and then you know, Seattle getting off that hot start immediately
16:32
It's not gonna help charbonnet going for 134 yards. That was I mean, uh, yeah that yeah 51 yarder
16:39
Maybe call him chardonnay
16:47
Chardonnay that's what the seahawks
16:49
Man, yeah 200 plus almost 200 plus all-purpose yards
16:53
Yeah, charbonnet. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah, really close to 200
17:00
Getting two tuds on the ground at that
17:03
Smith and Agba had a decent day as well. I mean Gino very efficient very efficient 24 for 30
17:09
Uh, you know, he kind of had that period of time this season where he struggled a little bit
17:13
But he seems to be climbing out of it these last few weeks
17:16
Um right in time it is and I actually just looked at his contract because I was really interesting
17:22
More on the like where sam darnell going next year. So kind of bouncing around through the team
17:26
He's still signing through next year. So yeah
17:30
He's gonna be there at this point. He's earning that spot. He's been playing a really good ball
17:35
I mean they got a tough test this week. Do they travel there? They do not it's at home
17:39
They the Packers travel to Seattle this week, but that's gonna be tough. It's gonna be a tough game. No
17:46
Don't even get it. You don't even get into it yet. We're not even there yet
17:50
Roll teaser. Uh, yeah anyway for the cards. Yeah, that might be the end of the season. Honestly for them at this point
17:58
I think there's just too much to overcome. However, it is looking a little bit brighter than it was in Arizona. I would say
18:04
um, I mean nobody certainly picked them to win the division but
18:08
Yeah, true. They've been very competitive like they as a
18:12
as a
18:13
Cardinals fan next year and they mean they're gonna be in the teens as a draft pick probably
18:19
I think they're I think they have some money. I don't you know, so I think they'll be all right
18:23
Yeah, they'll be just look like the team that they played the the cardinals look like how they play against the vikings
18:28
You know i'm saying they had a couple good plays here and there but that defense is struggling
18:32
And they are getting slashed left and right true that they really only have a handful not even a handful a couple good pieces
18:39
on defense baker
18:47
I feel like they're in a decent position too, you know, there's worse up there's west is open right? It's wide open
18:55
Next season's wide open. I don't think seattle's you know, there's a brand would seriously have to
19:01
I don't know. I think there's a lot of question money. He's coming out for sure. Well and they money issues
19:07
There's a lot of question marks. That's that's
19:12
Yeah, anyway surface yes, seattle getting the division win 30 to 18 taking the division lead
19:17
At eight and five headed into week 15 here moving to our fourth game
19:23
Crazy game a game that a lot of people did not see going this way
19:28
A game that a lot of people didn't think the rams are going to get the dub a lot of them
19:32
But two experts here at banner with the boys certainly picked that
19:44
Rams getting the win 44 42 over the buffalo bills
19:47
Uh rams just that scrappy team that have been in every single game like the rams to send us tickets and here's
19:53
We've been all about this wasn't even that scrappy for the rams the score shows that it was close, but the end of that
19:58
Gosh allen made it
20:01
I mean it was just allen against the rams
20:03
Yeah, yeah, he has
20:05
Ram i remember the bill's office only 21 minutes of possession and they scored 42 points in 21 minutes
20:14
The rams just control the ball for so long. They didn't give him opportunities. Hey, but that's the game man. I get it
20:20
That's awesome. It was an awesome nfl football. That was game of the week
20:24
I mean, that's why it was called the game of the week and I was definitely
20:27
Excited to watch that one and it turned out to be one of the great great ones of the season so far so just just incredible
20:33
I mean josh allen getting three tuds on the ground. Yeah three tuds in the air. I know I was waiting for I was waiting for a receiving one too
20:40
I mean shoot at that point might as well get the trifecta
20:43
Come on now, but you know what my fantasy team didn't need one in the air because
20:48
I still won this week. Thank you josh allen
20:50
He scored the most points in fantasy football history 51 in my league so yeah, I think that's the most technically
20:56
Thank you. Thank you depending on rules and all that crap. You know what I mean, but yeah, I think the most technically
21:02
Is it matt's matt's wife was the josh allen? Yes. Oh, hopefully she saw it matt hopefully your wife saw the game
21:10
Matt there is buddy
21:12
You better buckle up could be a long week here might lose
21:16
Josh Allen's coming with his six tuds. I guess geez
21:20
anyway
21:22
Yeah, no seriously the rams did feel like they controlled a lot of that second half until the fourth quarter
21:28
And then that's when the right I wanted to say the bills, but that's when you know yeah josh allen really flipped the script
21:35
Doing it with everybody spreading the ball around it wasn't just one guy either that was nice to see like mac hollins
21:41
I don't even know who that guy was
21:43
Mac hollins, I don't even know who that guy was the touchdown yeah for sure here had a good day, too
21:48
Absolutely a good number two to uh marco maria. Yeah, so they didn't quiet though. He's not as quiet
21:55
I'm adult. I can't he's other
21:58
He just doesn't throw this tight end. No not like he did last year. Yeah, yeah, yeah weird, and they had all the receivers left
22:05
Yeah, but on the other and then on the other side you got puka. No cool. You went crazy man. You have him, too
22:11
I did have my like them. Oh
22:15
drop
22:16
who I
22:18
I have a thing. Oh, Rob. You said you're a I
22:22
played fantasy football
22:23
We're talking the champs. I'll settle down. They actually freed up a bunch of money for other gems
22:31
backing it up
22:32
No, but that but that catch that catch on the sideline was crazy
22:36
I mean my wife is actually the one that pointed that out. I missed it, and she's like did you see that catch?
22:41
I was like she's like I don't know that guy right there 17 or whatever. I was like oh puka. Yeah
22:48
I would do dropping him too. I do so I'll take an hour. I'll take an hour
22:54
But I still in the champion, so I guess again really taking out the end of the day of it
22:59
Well the bills are the one that took it out at the end of it
23:03
Josh Allen gave you the dub so there you go so when when when win for you when we
23:07
went when when when we win yeah and five hundred dollars
23:11
So rams get in the dub 44 42 over the bills our final game of the week what a what a doozy
23:21
Yeah, the game of the week and I swear to gosh kev I can't remember if I said it or not in last week's episode
23:26
I swear I said this game could be a 9 to 6 game
23:30
So it ended up being a 10 to 6 game a Jaguars get in the dub
23:35
Only three of us picked the Jags to win this one
23:39
Yours truly again Rams and Jags saving me this week who knew
23:42
Should have lost though should have no matter definitely. It's all right. What do you mean?
23:46
Is it was a Westbrook in the end zone? Oh well?
23:54
Whether three and ten I don't really I don't I don't not really enough to talk
24:01
Well, yeah, let's talk about the thing that you brought up before the show here the Titans
24:05
You know if they get a high draft pick. What are they gonna do with that?
24:07
Oh, you know sticking with Will Levesse over the quarterbacks that are coming out. Maybe this year
24:12
I guess as a Titans fan is will love us your guys your franchise quarterback
24:17
There's a is there a number one a quarterback out there. Do you want?
24:23
Sanders out of Colorado to take Lewis or is there so many other pieces that you'd rather feel that I think that you know
24:30
Defense I think they're still okay, but an offensive line
24:34
Pollards, okay. Yeah, I still think you probably need a receiver
24:38
Yeah, you need another guy to add into the mix
24:41
But still I don't think I'm not online the draft if we're looking at this year's kind of like it's more interior
24:48
You guys that are the top studs, but that's your point though
24:52
Maybe you go a line here true or you do you trade down?
24:55
Where's this a scenario or somebody's that move up to get Sanders or get up to get whoever right?
25:02
I've been the Texas kid and you could hold the keys to that for sure you do when yours is not going that high
25:08
We could talk about that
25:11
But the Giants and you know other yeah, I'm gonna be in that scenario, but a really interesting thing
25:16
I looked at the standings of it
25:18
The Panthers still are not eliminated out of the playoffs. They're three and ten
25:23
I know there's no math a man
25:27
So with Jacksonville winning then the Panthers aren't the worst team in the league then because then we got multiple three and ten
25:34
I believe all the Giants in the row. Yeah, yeah who Giants and the Raiders Raiders, okay?
25:40
They Raiders are still two wins. Yeah, but I also can see
25:43
It's a scenario if Sam leaves the Raiders and the Giants are both two teams that you could go to that's something that Sam wants to do
25:51
Well is not up to Sam that's true. That's true. He's just looking to extend his career at this point, which I think he's done
25:59
Yeah, don't want to be really interesting for him to go the Giants and be successful and how the jazz fans would feel
26:05
I'd like to see him still stay with the Vikings or he goes back to the Jets there. You might be looking for quarterback
26:11
We're getting off base, man
26:13
Sam Darnell yeah, how do you pay him 40 million dollars a year? You're not going to hopefully like a good
26:19
Every single cornerback secondary guy
26:25
Is off the books next year
26:28
Murphy hit man if he retires buying them Griffin
26:36
Well you got to replace all them guys every single one you got to replace all them guys
26:41
So you got to pay Donald and then and then feel the secondary so so so you're not gonna pay Donald
26:47
It's a soupy time soupy time this season then I guess we just gotta go win a Super Bowl and
27:01
Fine okay good point. I think
27:05
Kev with that let's go into our tent talk
27:08
And with our tent talks are starting off our tent talk I should say just a few injuries this week
27:15
I'm gonna butcher his name and de marvio that his name de marvio
27:20
Over shown over shown tears his ACL MCO and PCL in his right knee
27:25
He's gonna have surgery this week, but that most likely will end his season
27:29
Maybe I mean that's a Nick Chubb style of injury
27:34
Maybe I mean I got Nick Chubb style of injury. This is this second one two. Oh really?
27:39
Oh really, that's really bad man, and the fact that he done. He did all three of them. Yeah like that well and another side
27:45
I know John
27:47
Brooks the Texas running back is actually Jonathan Brooks my bad. That's who was he did it
27:53
He tore his distorias last week that was in my bag
27:56
He did it twice yeah, Brooks is the one that did it oh Brooks. He was the rookie. Yeah, yeah, he just did it
28:02
Yeah, yeah, he just did it. Yeah, ah man that sucks
28:06
Okay, I didn't see that style. Just yeah, just can't quite stay healthy
28:11
George Pickens could miss a week again here his hamstrings a little bit worse than he thought
28:17
Play yeah, he didn't play and they scanned it again, and now it's
28:21
Believed excuse me that that hamstring could actually be worse than they originally thought so hammy suck it all and knees
28:27
It's a lingering injury. That's what happened to JJ JJ last year wasn't a hammy
28:31
Yeah, and that kept him sidelined for four or five weeks. I mean it was a minute
28:35
That's why I'm so impressed with actually Mike Evans come back so quickly for me right yeah
28:39
Oh, yeah, for sure well, and you're just happy to have them back on the squad or what?
28:47
Player more specifically
28:50
Player
28:53
Hamstrings are tough to come back. Oh, yeah, I can't imagine. Oh, yeah, cuz he's on my squad
28:57
Yeah, for sure on your squad Rob. Let me find out. Yeah, for sure
29:03
And then let's see you have Aiden O'Connell
29:07
quarterback for the Raiders bone brews in the knee I mean to me right to it shot in Raiders was it I didn't see that
29:13
Oh, yeah, yeah, it was an ad for the throw and no flag either Wow so it was like it should have been a flag and then
29:19
Yeah, interesting okay. I did not I did not see the cheap. Yeah, yeah, yeah, so who hit him do you remember?
29:27
Number number 99
29:30
Sounds good
29:34
Let's see here just a little bit of news whatever Joe burrows house is broken into during the Monday night game
29:40
But it's it's interesting though to bring up because it's a common theme right now
29:43
And usually like sure you'd think a pro athletes house would be a good target right right, but it's not just Joe burrow
29:51
Patrick Mahomes and Kelsey had their homes broken into during a primetime game as well
29:56
Actually here locally Mike Connelly for the Timberwolves just had his broken while he was broken into while he was at a game
30:04
Somebody else was it Middleton for the Bucks. He's not there anymore is he Chris Millen? Yeah, I can't sorry
30:09
We're getting off base, but Middleton as well his house broken into all people just started whatever at the game
30:14
But so their houses are open yeah, so so is it the same people that's crazy, so I just thought of his wild
30:21
Yeah, right right it continues to happen while they're at some big events so
30:27
Anyway, that was really the only other news
30:29
I saw there's not a lot going on as we're kind of leading up towards the playoffs no we got fired
30:34
No, nobody's getting fired this week
30:36
Currently it's the same one Dave Peterson. I mean
30:42
I mean I mean yeah, cuz this is Doug's what second year housing
30:47
Well, I guess or is or you at the point where if you're the Jaguars
30:51
Are you kind of over the whole Trevor Lawrence thing at this point?
30:54
You know what I mean like don't give me your besides him getting knocked the heck out last week right?
30:58
But like are you kind of over the whole Trevor Lawrence deal at this at this point or what are they three and ten?
31:03
Yeah, yeah, well they're near that top
31:05
quarterback right
31:08
Peterson is loves the RPO style. That's what he ran up in Philly
31:17
And what why would Sanders be that type of
31:21
quarterback of the NFL I
31:24
Don't know I don't know man. I I'm not feeling super great about any of the quarterbacks coming
31:29
I just want to try this on her playing the NFL. That's my big thing
31:33
I just I can't wait, but what position Travis on our plane? I mean you guys know I like him that receiver for longevity
31:38
I mean fair enough. I could see him definitely being a number two
31:43
Guarantee, it's gonna he could give him a season. He could be a number one. So we're drafting number twos
31:50
Early
31:53
Coming with the zingers
31:56
But anyway, let's see here I
31:58
Mean it's a real question right capital we drafted Addison early
32:05
He's no yeah, but you have Jefferson
32:08
Yeah, you already yeah, you did already have
32:10
But but buddy is bringing up the point to your point though. You're like, who you gonna draft the number two
32:15
Well, that's what we did with Addison. He did fall in our lap. Thank God. Yeah, but
32:20
He wasn't gone early 20s were not dropping in the top 10. You know, I hear you. I hear you a clock in that's the difference
32:28
Alright anyway moving right along
32:32
Kev we gotta be a
32:34
Sit in for Kev at the moment, but Kev let's move right into our bonehead move
32:38
And with our bonehead move of the week
32:42
Honestly, there wasn't a whole lot going on, but I did find something it kind of came out today actually more or less
32:48
Yeah, I mean uh Divo Samuel. Oh, what did you do traveling to the social media webs?
32:56
Webosphere Twitters fear X files
32:59
whatever uh-huh
33:01
Talking about how his downfalls this year kind of have been because he hasn't been given the opportunities
33:10
And for create your own
33:12
Well, especially with somebody like him who's like a gadget player I would consider him, you know
33:17
But that seems pretty wild to me and now of course that post has since been deleted and now like didn't see
33:27
Didn't say anything about it and now it's kind of came out you read what you read and now it's like, okay
33:32
So now where are you on the San Francisco and we talked about the San Francisco?
33:35
Whoa is if you will and the possibility of their contract situations and whatever multiple things right can CMC stay healthy
33:42
Can people get back to form can Brock Purdy come back healthy and get back to form cuz also and he seems to be getting injured
33:49
I know what's the story on Bosa right now. You know what I mean? So I'm gonna say Divo
33:57
I don't think you'll be there next year. They're after dump money and
34:01
Per his vibe right now. He does not have there. So yeah, he definitely doesn't seem happy
34:07
Was like three weeks ago. He beat up the almost beat up the kicker
34:10
I
34:20
Yeah, that's right they just signed a you what do they do with McCaffrey that's that's a tough a lot of money
34:26
They're starting to turn to like a right leaving your bonehead. No, no, no, but that's where this was inevitably gonna go
34:32
I mean San Francisco is trending in the wrong direction when they should be
34:35
Fighting for an NFC championship really with that roster still just did win and they're still in the chance of still winning that
34:42
You know, and there's a reason why we're gonna go over, you know
34:45
They're game this week because we think there's still a chance that they could sneak into the playoffs
34:49
Yeah, but or even win their division who knows that division's still wide open right now, but it's just they're just trending in the wrong direction
34:57
It's scary and it starts with your your top players your captains and Debo is the captain right now
35:02
And when he travels to social media or any of your crap and travel social media to talk like that's usually not good
35:09
It's usually not good. It's never good. Yeah, and then they do delete it though and then back up what you said
35:15
But what you said has been deleted. Well, what happened? You know what I mean? Yeah. Yeah, stand on it or not, right?
35:21
I guess you know I mean so we take it like a champ. They don't like a champ
35:26
Come on with that. Let's head into our week 15 preview and picks
35:39
And
35:42
Rob ready to go like always of course though. You're always ready to go don't matter
35:47
Let's see here
35:48
Our first game of the week. Okay, and last week's games. I got everybody's weekly standings updated
35:55
I don't have the season record and win percentage updated
35:58
So I don't know who's in first if I had to take a shot in the dark
36:04
I'm thinking it is Rachel
36:08
Actually, I would probably I'm thinking it's Rachel. I think that I remember she she went three and two
36:16
But all I know is Tyler run one and Dan went two and three so she's gonna know what she might be tied with Dan
36:22
But yeah, Tyler went no time with two and three. There was a bunch of people there wonderful
36:26
I think grandma there's a whole clock Ben went one and four
36:29
It was it was the Bills game that killed everybody and then I think everyone else was Jakes Titans was 50-50
36:37
Packers game was 50-50. So there's only
36:40
Yeah, yeah, there's only one there's only one good selection of game. It was this week. Not so much. I think this one
36:46
I don't know. I think it's better. I think it's tough
36:49
But so far a lot of the picks coming through so when I very similar
36:54
So when I sent you these every single one is under four perfect really?
36:59
Okay, interesting the other in the Vikings game. They're put myself well before we get to week 15 week 14
37:06
We had no undefeated none, but we had Rob went four and one horns up Jake went four and one and that's it
37:14
Those are the only four and ones
37:15
There's a lot of three and twos a lot of two and threes and threes and again, it's that Bills Rams game for us
37:22
Yeah, and then the Jakes Titans was again 50-50 Packers Lions 50-50 heck Seahawks Cardinals was close to 50-50
37:30
I mean it was it was a toss-up everybody took Vikings and they keep winning. So that's right stay on that train
37:34
Yeah, buddy with that Bears playing the Vikings this week in Minnesota at the bank
37:41
I'm gonna go ahead and just say the Vikes for me personally. There's no way they're losing this game
37:45
Now I think the Bears are gonna be competitive
37:50
Just like how they kind of ended last season, but I think they're again trending in the right direction and in the next year
37:56
but yeah, I mean the Bears are looking they're looking good for next season, but
38:01
Coming into the bank. I'm gonna be at that game, which is gonna be nice. And yeah, there you go
38:06
We're gonna keep those Bears sleeping in hibernation. Keep them sleeping Dom says
38:11
I've been saying it pretty much since the last time we played the Bears we put him in the hibernation and they pretty much
38:17
Stayed there. They went night night. They went to sleep. They went night night. Caleb Williams is he's gonna
38:22
He's a good future for the for the Bears
38:25
The coaching staff not so much
38:27
So that's where I'm at with the Bears right now and the Vikings. We're just gonna keep rolling them. Keep rolling
38:34
Keep rolling keep rolling Rob who we got I
38:38
I definitely going Vikings, but I don't that sigh had me
38:46
The problem is the Bears absolutely got their kick last week they had four yards in
38:54
offense in the first half and
38:57
The 49ers had over 300 yards. So they just got whooped
39:01
Which is that's what scares me about the aspect of that thing is like when someone gets whooped like that
39:06
They're coming already. They're coming out and it's a division and division game. I want to mess up the Viking season
39:11
You know, yeah, and for some reason I don't know why the Bears seem to feed play fast on turf
39:16
I don't know what it is. Whatever I've watched thing that aspect of it and
39:22
Even though I think we're still gonna win
39:25
But how the Bears are just they're falling apart really bad
39:29
They are falling apart
39:30
I like that, you know, I think I they've gotten worse since losing their last coach. Yeah
39:37
Well so far there's gonna be a period of time there though, right?
39:40
But I also think they also played the 49ers of the 49ers are better team than really the record
39:46
No, I would agree with you know, I would agree with that. Yeah
39:49
Game two Packers traveling to the Seahawks
39:51
By the way, everybody pretty much picked the Vikings so far of the picks that have came through so sticking with that theme. Okay
39:58
Packers at Seahawks
40:02
This one's a little tougher, I mean, this is a good test for Seattle
40:06
let me pull up injuries here, but
40:09
Rob who you think in here?
40:11
I'm going to see ox just because I think they're at home if it was the other way I'd go Packers
40:16
But I think this is the game the Packers if they don't win they might slide out of the playoffs
40:22
Oh, you don't think you might you're thinking they might even slide out of the wild card
40:26
I mean if this is a loss
40:28
They don't have a great schedule coming
40:31
You know, I feel like they've been kind of trending down right now
40:35
When's the last time they've won a game where you felt confident in them and you know, like last few weeks
40:40
I feel like they just been in the game
40:43
You know just kind of alliance in it enough, you know
40:46
They didn't look like if they play them in the playoff. Do you feel like the Packers are beating the Lions?
40:51
Again without that going forward on that fourth down in the third quarter
40:55
I don't think that's game is as close as it showed at the end of it
40:59
You know, and I don't think the Lions played their best ball either. I don't think that but that's all back to injuries, too
41:04
You know, so like I the Packers, you know
41:08
Well, and the Packers are still missing
41:10
Alexander they're missing another corner
41:14
Romeo
41:16
Jobs is questionable. They miss they really met him last week. Yeah, I fell in that game
41:22
You know that Jayden Reid is upset, you know that he didn't get any anything Adam that last week
41:27
You know, I think he had one or two targets if that so he's upset about that
41:32
It was pretty ineffective in that game, too. So
41:36
Especially that offense does really need Jacobs to get going
41:40
Action to really roll and also without your one. I mean good luck. So you went you went Seahawks
41:45
That was your pick. Yes, sir. See Hawks for Rob Dom coming back to you, brother
41:51
I'm gonna take the sea chickens, too
41:54
We'll do a little Chardonnay
42:01
Hey we at this point I just need the package blue so we can stop talking about them in our division
42:06
So that's why I'm gonna take him this week
42:08
I like it fair enough fair enough and the guillotine and we're going to the trifecta up here
42:14
I'm going see Hawks only because I went with them a lot early in the season. They let me down. I
42:20
Went away from him and now they're winning. So now I'm gonna come back to them
42:23
I hopefully it doesn't mean the Packers win because we do not need that. Yeah, we don't need oh, but
42:29
Gino man, he's just he's playing different these last few weeks and again with that injured Packer secondary
42:35
I mean, it's it should be no problem for Gino and company Kenneth Walker's questionable, but he's questionable every week
42:41
Yeah, and obviously with Charbonne or Chardonnay as you put it
42:46
They should be just fine so Seahawks at home no problem clean sweep no problem
42:53
Let's see, but it's only three in Vegas. So FY
42:57
Interesting. Well, but again on paper that should be an interesting game. You know, I mean, I wouldn't be surprised to see the Packers win
43:04
I really wouldn't be but again with recent play, you know
43:13
Ties are bonus points
43:23
Let's see bills at Lions this week, this is a doozy
43:27
doozy bills coming off a tough L
43:29
a competitive L, but a tough L about 42 points and 21 minutes L
43:37
This is for me
43:40
Excuse me. Geez for me. This is when the Lions finally will take their L this this is gonna be the stop right here and I
43:47
Again, you've brought up how injured the Lions are as well. That's that's gonna be a problem
43:53
Yeah, they played the Packers last week
43:54
Okay played the Vikings this year, but the Bills are gonna be another top-tier playoff team that you get
43:59
You got to know if you can handle them and right now
44:01
The way that Josh Allen looked on the ground last week, let alone the air but on the ground last week. I
44:09
Don't know tough guy tough guy to stop so it's a defense it's bills. I agree. I agree, but
44:15
I'm still thinking that the Lions are gonna fault. I'd like to see them if they can't be the Vikes
44:21
I'd like to see them go deep but
44:23
At some point the Lions are gonna come back to earth this season. It just I don't know
44:27
I think you said I think back thing about the bill. I think those are the chiefs there come back there, but they have
44:32
Yeah, yeah. Yeah, but I think
44:35
The whole day how aggressive Dan Campbell is it's just I don't know
44:39
It's gonna come back and bite them and I love it though. I'd rather have that than somebody that's complacent right?
44:43
But I don't know. I gotta go bills this week though. It's locked in locked and loaded locked in the bills
44:50
locked in
44:51
Dom who you got?
44:57
This is a tough one
44:59
Both really good teams. I know the bills just came off of a loss, but it was only a two-point loss
45:04
So I mean in some people's minds they could take a couple of moral victories away from that game going into the Lions game
45:11
Lions just came off a good win against the Packers
45:15
So at this point they're playing at the Lions then I'm not taking lines unfortunately
45:20
Taking the Lions, alright yeah
45:22
Cause I mean at the end of the day if they lose it's good for me, right?
45:24
Right, right
45:26
That's true, that's true
45:28
So
45:30
Lions, Lions at home
45:32
Lions all day, Lions
45:34
What we got Rob?
45:36
This is so tough for me
45:38
This is the tough game
45:40
And many asked because I want to say that the bills are really have like that revenge after last week
45:48
Especially offense, I think the defense has been
45:52
Embarrassed I mean they were top three and defense and fast and they got
45:59
Taken, you know, so
46:02
I'm gonna go bills. I
46:04
Kind of think that does not sound like a confident. No, it's not very confident
46:08
You know, it's more that I think I want the bills, but I also think that they should and they can't it's gonna be a really competitive
46:14
Yeah, but also I think the injuries with the Lions how banged up there on defense
46:20
I think that's probably gonna be the tipping point of it a little bit and Josh Allen's ability just to run the ball is gonna be
46:27
Add ex the triple is not a man-to-man and
46:30
Playing man-to-man against Allen is the worst because every defender turns their back to the quarterback and I think that's gonna be the difference maker
46:36
Mm-hmm. Okay, I can see it. Yeah, fair enough still got Gibbs. Look at Montgomery on the other side
46:42
It's gonna be a good game. It's gonna be a great game. Yeah
46:46
Bills bills for the Rob bills for the Rob. Yep. Okay bucks at Chargers
46:53
I'm going Chargers here, but
46:56
The Bucks could absolutely win this game. I think still obviously JK Dobbins on IR
47:01
I think the JK Dobbins lists offense of the Chargers is just not scary right now
47:07
Justin Herbert went down last game, but he's cited to be back in the game. So no problems there
47:13
Let me check Tampa Bay really quick. Make sure like Baker Mayfield's not doing something crazy. I doubt it
47:19
But I still he's still living
47:21
Just a couple of linebackers puncher linebackers handful. Yeah in front of one field still out. Yeah, so
47:28
Yeah, I just I just gotta go the Chargers. It's not it's not even a homer away thing this time for me
47:33
It's just it's not it's not I don't think
47:36
So far as a home field advantage for any either LA team at all, but well that doesn't take the homer out of your
47:42
No, oh, well the homer out of the pick. Yeah, of course. Yeah. Yeah chargers all day, right?
47:47
But I still think the Bucks are gonna win the NFC South
47:51
So they got they got to show out this game
47:53
They gotta have a good game just for some confidence heading into the playoffs, too
47:57
I'm going bucks to I you're going but I think I think the Chargers are dead actually without without
48:03
Don't there they're running game is way different. It's way different. It could have beat the Chiefs, but they didn't I mean
48:11
That's that's hardball football. They just keep it close on the ball. You know control the clock and the Chiefs aren't really a
48:18
explosive team right now at all
48:20
So like that's a game in division. That's gonna be 13 to 9 or
48:24
So yeah, I think the Bucks are gonna run the ball really effectively actually it's all Irving
48:31
And white, you know both of them. They're still you know and
48:35
Baker's is crappy. He's crafty. He is crafty Dom who we got bucks at Chargers
48:41
I'm gonna have to roll a Rob on this one too, man bucks. I like Baker Mayfield
48:46
Mike Evans is back again, too. So I mean he's gonna be playing
48:50
I mean, I can't say no to that right and JK Dobbins out again is definitely tough
48:56
It's just like when people would say when Vikings don't have Aaron Jones. It's not the same different
49:01
But at the same time we got we got came acres. So they don't really got a
49:07
Hard another one. Yeah, another go to yeah start of the same style, right?
49:13
Edwards yeah, that's who they're all that's who they're all he's downhill right?
49:17
He's not a scat back. I love not at all, but yeah
49:21
I'll take the books this week taking the box taking the box going into our last game of the week here
49:27
This one's tough. This one's got some playoff implications
49:30
It's a meat on the bone Rams at the 49ers if the Niners lose
49:35
They're probably not gonna do anything the rest of this season if they win
49:39
They're very much still alive in that playoff race
49:42
And even in the division. I mean again that is a tough game
49:46
I mean again that we've mentioned that division multiple times being wide open
49:51
Dom I'm gonna give this one to you tough on
49:55
Rams at Niners
49:56
Let me see who if who you got injured for the Niners though. It looks like almost the whole team with the Niners is her
50:02
Oh, yeah, you are right. Oh no, Trent Williams is Isaac Rondo the starting running back. Who's the next running back up to the line?
50:21
It's not really a tough one for me this week
50:23
I definitely couldn't go a Pookin the cool Cooper Cup and Matthew Stafford with the Rams this week
50:28
They just came off a good win against a good team with the Bills
50:32
So yeah, we'll take the Rams this week for sure sounds good
50:37
And they're they seem to be getting hot at the right time and again with that grittiness. They've really had all year
50:43
I mean, they're just in every game. I think if again if the Niners were healthy
50:48
I think this would be a little bit different for me
50:51
But the Rams didn't let me down last week, and I think I got to go with the Rams again this week
50:54
Even at San Fran. I think they'll do just enough to get by they need a little more rushing attack
51:02
I think they're the ones that had like 29
51:05
What's it? What's the running back Kyron Williams or something like that? I think I thought I think he had 29 attempts for
51:13
Like I don't know 80 yards or something. It's just not a very good average
51:16
I mean you're just the lines not that I know I know so well that's the tough part
51:21
But that's where they were starting to get puka on the jet and stuff, so that's what I like about it
51:25
That's the unpredictability of it
51:27
And that's why I got to stick with the Rams against the Bills defense that can't stop me me alone
51:31
But they're not playing the Bills though. They were but that's why I'm going 49ers all day long on that
51:36
because I think no Nick Bostes and have some
51:41
difficulties against the
51:43
Rams
51:44
Opposite line. I think it's and that's gonna be the game difference. I think the confidence of them destroying
51:49
the
51:51
Bears last week has changed the whole vibe in that locker room. I think the 49ers coming
51:56
You think the 49ers are coming so wait a minute. You said no Nick Bostes though. Oh
52:01
That doesn't matter. Oh you're saying that doesn't matter you think the offensive line for the Rams are gonna be a difficult problem
52:08
Well, you know yeah, yeah, so they're difficult. They're gonna be a problem for the Niners you're saying
52:15
The Niners is you're saying you want the Niners to win
52:17
But I'm just confused because the Niners defense aligns and be trouble for the Rams. Yeah, okay, that's what I'm saying
52:22
Okay, you without Nick Bostes. Okay, you you're tracking. I'm trying right okay. I'm sorry. No, you're fine. You're fine
52:29
I thought I knew what you went, but that's why I wanted to clarify okay fair enough
52:32
So San Fran defense just dominates the Rams no matter what this week doesn't even matter no Nick Bostes
52:38
I think that the 49ers they got their game back they now they have that running
52:41
He did get hurt by the little foot injuries friend it, but I think that just changed the vibe
52:46
I think that I don't know I just have they're fine
52:48
Yeah, I don't think they're in a win. It's gonna be close 19 to 18 static sure vision game sure yeah for sure
52:56
So I think that I don't that's a world fair enough fair enough. I want you to see more
53:06
Whoa whoa one and four this week yeah unbelievable with that that kind of raps week week 15 for us
53:14
Already near the end
53:17
Believe it. We're so close to the playoffs. We're so close to the Vikings trek to the Super Bowl. It's not even funny
