Mac & Bone Hour 2: NFC South > NFC East · Mac & Bone Podcast

• 0:00
  Speaker 1: Thank you.
• 0:29
  Speaker 2: That was something we addressed. The goal of our whole
• 0:32
  Speaker 2: group is to win the division, is to win the
• 0:35
  Speaker 2: NFC South. That's a collective vision, a collective thing we're
• 0:38
  Speaker 2: striving to. Let's win the first championship first. It's playing
• 0:42
  Speaker 2: out really nicely. It has nothing to do with how
• 0:45
  Speaker 2: we perform. We have to get back to the basics.
• 0:48
  Speaker 2: We have to find consistency in our run game on
• 0:51
  Speaker 2: the offensive side. Defensively speaking, making sure that we're able
• 0:55
  Speaker 2: to corral the quarterback and contain it in our rush.
• 0:57
  Speaker 2: We're getting great pressure. Let's make sure that it stays
• 1:00
  Speaker 2: that way and we recontain that way. Some communication things
• 1:03
  Speaker 2: with the coverage units and all that, continuing to build
• 1:06
  Speaker 2: our blitz packages. All these things that we've been talking
• 1:09
  Speaker 2: about improving, that's got to be the focal point. And
• 1:11
  Speaker 2: so while those things play out yesterday, we're fired up
• 1:15
  Speaker 2: about that, but it's going to be about us preparing
• 1:17
  Speaker 2: the right way for the Eagles this week.
• 1:20
  Speaker 3: That is Coach Canales acknowledging that things are falling into
• 1:23
  Speaker 3: place nicely in terms of us being two and two
• 1:26
  Speaker 3: and alone in first place.
• 1:28
  Speaker 4: In the NFC South. Nicely as in they put you
• 1:31
  Speaker 4: in the NFC South. Yeah.
• 1:33
  Speaker 3: Things tend to fall into place nicely in the NFC
• 1:35
  Speaker 3: South if you're simply 500.
• 1:37
  Speaker 4: Last year, we didn't even have to be 500. Some
• 1:39
  Speaker 4: fall on their face. Good morning to Atlanta, Tampa, and
• 1:42
  Speaker 4: New Orleans. Actually, Tampa won the other day. We have company, y'all.
• 1:46
  Speaker 3: We've got the NFC leased. We've got ourselves some company,
• 1:50
  Speaker 3: and we're going to talk about that here in a second.
• 1:52
  Speaker 3: I do want to shout out Affordable Siding and Windows,
• 1:56
  Speaker 3: your hometown improvement experts. Every text you send in is
• 1:59
  Speaker 3: powered by Affordable Siding and Windows, 704-570-9610. Also, shout out
• 2:04
  Speaker 3: to the folks at Harris Cherokee Casino Resort, our uptown
• 2:11
  Speaker 3: studio sponsor.
• 2:13
  Speaker 4: All right, Bone.
• 2:14
  Speaker 3: The NFC East, is it worse than the NFC South?
• 2:19
  Speaker 3: Do we finally not play in the worst division? Or
• 2:24
  Speaker 3: am I going too far if I say that? The
• 2:26
  Speaker 3: NFC East is the laughingstock of football right now after
• 2:30
  Speaker 3: what Washington and Philly did at the end of their games.
• 2:33
  Speaker 3: Philly had the most amazing line ever about the NFC
• 2:37
  Speaker 3: East yesterday. Said they didn't win a game this weekend
• 2:40
  Speaker 3: and two of the teams played each other. It is
• 2:42
  Speaker 3: so true. Van Pelt used the same line last night, Vinny,
• 2:46
  Speaker 3: I am sure. Great bald minds think alike. What do
• 2:50
  Speaker 3: you think, Bone?
• 2:52
  Speaker 4: Are we living in a space where maybe we're not
• 2:54
  Speaker 4: in the worst division? It's getting really close, right? It
• 2:58
  Speaker 4: is getting awfully close. Now, there's still some... Some pedigree, Matt,
• 3:04
  Speaker 4: would say Dak Prescott and the Dallas offense. We know
• 3:08
  Speaker 4: that they're good despite the other day. Jalen Hurts has
• 3:11
  Speaker 4: been there, done that, despite the team's struggles and injuries.
• 3:14
  Speaker 4: So there's room for them to end up having good years.
• 3:19
  Speaker 4: But this discussion wouldn't have happened in years past of
• 3:23
  Speaker 4: how close right now is the NFC South to this.
• 3:26
  Speaker 4: the NFC East. I don't think the Giants back with Jameis,
• 3:29
  Speaker 4: despite their decent start, I wouldn't trust them. I wouldn't
• 3:32
  Speaker 4: trust Daniels in Washington right now. And I don't really
• 3:35
  Speaker 4: trust the Saints. I don't trust the Bucks. I don't
• 3:38
  Speaker 4: trust the Falcons. I trust Bryce Young and the Panthers.
• 3:41
  Speaker 4: So to me, I still think the NFC East has
• 3:45
  Speaker 4: a slight, slight edge right now. Let's just start. Slightly though,
• 3:49
  Speaker 4: not by a lot. So let's just, let's start with
• 3:51
  Speaker 4: this one. Are the Panthers the best team in the
• 3:53
  Speaker 4: two divisions? Yeah.
• 3:55
  Speaker 3: I know you might be hesitant to say that going
• 3:58
  Speaker 3: into the Philly game, or maybe I should be hesitant
• 4:01
  Speaker 3: to say that with my jinxing prowess, but eyeball test.
• 4:08
  Speaker 3: Eagles dealing with injuries, we're dealing with injuries. I know
• 4:10
  Speaker 3: the Eagles played a spirited game, but that offense is brutal, man.
• 4:14
  Speaker 3: They got 92 stinking points through five games. They're not
• 4:17
  Speaker 3: even averaging.
• 4:18
  Speaker 4: I mean, they're averaging just a tick over 18 points
• 4:20
  Speaker 4: a game. Well, there's a great imbalance with the Eagles
• 4:23
  Speaker 4: and Cowboys, right? Because the Eagles defense is still playing
• 4:26
  Speaker 4: at a high level, and the Cowboys offense still has...
• 4:29
  Speaker 4: a lot of the ability we saw him just go
• 4:31
  Speaker 4: to Houston and put up a ton of points so
• 4:33
  Speaker 4: in fact if it was Dallas's offense and Philly's defense
• 4:36
  Speaker 4: they'd probably have a playoff contender but they're so imbalanced
• 4:39
  Speaker 4: that it's hard to really trust either one of those
• 4:42
  Speaker 4: outfits right.
• 4:42
  Speaker 3: I mean first of all I know Jalen Hurts has
• 4:44
  Speaker 3: a ring who's the better quarterback between that's going to
• 4:48
  Speaker 3: be on the field in Philly this weekend Is there
• 4:51
  Speaker 3: any doubt in anybody's mind who the better quarterback is
• 4:53
  Speaker 3: right now?
• 4:54
  Speaker 4: No doubt. And who's playing with more confidence right now
• 4:56
  Speaker 4: is Bryce Young.
• 4:57
  Speaker 3: It's not even close, but I would just say, who
• 4:59
  Speaker 3: is the better quarterback right now? And I know it
• 5:02
  Speaker 3: sounds crazy because Jalen Hurts has done some amazing things,
• 5:08
  Speaker 3: played some amazing football. I mean, both Super Bowls he
• 5:12
  Speaker 3: played were absolutely awesome. But just right now, And I
• 5:17
  Speaker 3: know a lot of it has to do with what's
• 5:18
  Speaker 3: around you, but that's the thing, though. Jalen Hurts, Bone,
• 5:25
  Speaker 3: is affected by the injuries of what's around him.
• 5:28
  Speaker 4: You don't think Bryce could be? You don't think if
• 5:30
  Speaker 4: Bryce was struggling, Bone, we could legitimately say, but look,
• 5:34
  Speaker 4: he's lost Coker and XL. Look at all the O-linemen
• 5:37
  Speaker 4: he's lost. But instead, he still has played some of
• 5:41
  Speaker 4: the best quarterback in the NFL despite those issues. So
• 5:44
  Speaker 4: pardon me, Bone, if I don't even want to hear
• 5:46
  Speaker 4: any excuse-making for Jalen Hurts right now. Yeah, I can't
• 5:48
  Speaker 4: really say offensive line is ravaged for Hurts when Bryce
• 5:53
  Speaker 4: Young is playing through the same stuff over there. So yeah,
• 5:56
  Speaker 4: that can't be the excuse. Now the question would be,
• 5:59
  Speaker 4: I know we're going team by team, but Dak... versus
• 6:03
  Speaker 4: Bryce Young is a legitimate discussion to be had, right? Oh, yeah.
• 6:08
  Speaker 4: Jalen Hurts, I can, Dak is the one where I say,
• 6:11
  Speaker 4: you know, I don't know if I'm ready to put
• 6:13
  Speaker 4: Bryce above Dak yet. Although I saw some rough moments
• 6:15
  Speaker 4: from him in that Tampa game. Yeah. That blitz was,
• 6:18
  Speaker 4: I know they had a couple drives late, but he looked,
• 6:22
  Speaker 4: it looked brutal under that blitz. I mean, Dak still
• 6:26
  Speaker 4: right now is at 67% of his passes, nine touchdowns,
• 6:29
  Speaker 4: three picks, a 97 rating. So I still will tip
• 6:34
  Speaker 4: my cap to Dak despite some of the team's struggles.
• 6:37
  Speaker 3: So it seems like you might think Philly and Dallas
• 6:39
  Speaker 3: will end up being better than the Panthers.
• 6:41
  Speaker 4: I didn't say Philly was. When did I say Philly?
• 6:45
  Speaker 4: But Dallas, you think so. Well, Dallas is also going
• 6:48
  Speaker 4: to be aggressive on the trade market. They've got Joey
• 6:50
  Speaker 4: Porter Jr. that hasn't played yet. I think it's very,
• 6:54
  Speaker 4: very close. I think Dallas ends up winning the NFC East.
• 6:59
  Speaker 4: I think they end up winning the NFC East.
• 7:00
  Speaker 3: And maybe they do, but I'll bring in Fitties, the
• 7:04
  Speaker 3: perfect guy to ask. Do you think the Cowboys are
• 7:06
  Speaker 3: better than the Panthers? Because the Panthers are doing this
• 7:09
  Speaker 3: right now ravaged by injuries.
• 7:11
  Speaker 4: You get the Panthers healthy. I already beat them last year.
• 7:14
  Speaker 3: You get the Panthers healthy, and I don't think there's
• 7:16
  Speaker 3: any chance in hell Dallas is a better football team.
• 7:18
  Speaker 3: I'm tired of hearing about how improved their defense is,
• 7:21
  Speaker 3: only to find out it's still hot garbage. I mean,
• 7:24
  Speaker 3: they're bringing in Petten now to help their defense coordinator.
• 7:26
  Speaker 3: That ain't a good sign.
• 7:27
  Speaker 4: I refuse to believe that that is the case, Finney.
• 7:33
  Speaker 1: I think that their individual talent might be better than
• 7:38
  Speaker 1: the Panthers. But I think the Panthers are a better team,
• 7:42
  Speaker 1: if that makes any sense. And we actually had this
• 7:44
  Speaker 1: conversation yesterday on Charlotte Sports Today. I think there might
• 7:47
  Speaker 1: be more pure talent in the NFC East as a division.
• 7:51
  Speaker 1: When you look at the Dax, the CDs, the Saquons,
• 7:54
  Speaker 1: Fort Jackson, Arc got injured. Brian Burns and all those guys.
• 7:58
  Speaker 1: But it doesn't translate into good football. It doesn't really
• 8:02
  Speaker 1: translate into watchable football outside of really the Cowboys because
• 8:05
  Speaker 1: they play in shootouts every single Sunday.
• 8:07
  Speaker 4: Outside of that, the Giants aren't a fun team to watch.
• 8:10
  Speaker 1: The Eagles, the only reason why you're watching them is
• 8:12
  Speaker 1: to watch Sirianni cuss out his players, coaches, and refs.
• 8:16
  Speaker 4: And then you have the Commanders.
• 8:17
  Speaker 1: Like.
• 8:18
  Speaker 3: Do you think the South is better than, and yes,
• 8:21
  Speaker 3: I'm being told by multiple people that this is a
• 8:23
  Speaker 3: lame discussion. This dude says, Mac, what do you want,
• 8:27
  Speaker 3: a cookie if your division is worse than that train
• 8:29
  Speaker 3: wreck in the East? I'm just simply saying it might
• 8:32
  Speaker 3: be notable if the NFC South is not the worst
• 8:35
  Speaker 3: division in football.
• 8:36
  Speaker 4: Which division do you think is better than the other?
• 8:38
  Speaker 4: As sad of a combo as this is. I think
• 8:42
  Speaker 4: people say an AFC South also. AFC South with Jacksonville.
• 8:48
  Speaker 4: Jacksonville is good, but Indianapolis, Houston, and Tennessee also in
• 8:51
  Speaker 4: that division. Yeah, that's a good point. Is it a
• 8:53
  Speaker 4: three prong combo? Jacksonville is really good. So does that
• 8:56
  Speaker 4: skew it to where it's not as, I don't know. Well,
• 8:59
  Speaker 4: how do you determine it too? That's another thing, but
• 9:00
  Speaker 4: what were you going to say fit? I think I
• 9:03
  Speaker 4: would lean. Yes.
• 9:06
  Speaker 1: I think the South is, is slightly better because I
• 9:10
  Speaker 1: believe more on what the best team in the, in that,
• 9:13
  Speaker 1: in our division can do. as compared to the best
• 9:16
  Speaker 1: team in the East can do. I think the Panthers, Matt,
• 9:19
  Speaker 1: can make the playoffs and advance into the playoffs. There's
• 9:22
  Speaker 1: nothing I've seen so far from any team in the
• 9:24
  Speaker 1: NFC East this season that I believe.
• 9:27
  Speaker 4: In once we get to the playoffs.
• 9:30
  Speaker 1: And I know the Eagles have pedigree, but, Matt, they're
• 9:32
  Speaker 1: one loss away from that thing coming completely unhinged.
• 9:35
  Speaker 4: They're a shell of themselves.
• 9:36
  Speaker 3: And listen, all the O-linemen they lost, Johnson retired, and
• 9:39
  Speaker 3: what did they do a couple days later? They traded Juergens.
• 9:43
  Speaker 3: it doesn't seem to me, I just, I'm not sure
• 9:46
  Speaker 3: it's coming back around for the Eagles. I kind of
• 9:48
  Speaker 3: feel like it might be a lost year in Philly.
• 9:49
  Speaker 1: JJ put a tweet out where like some of the
• 9:51
  Speaker 1: stuff they've done from a, from a salary cap perspective.
• 9:55
  Speaker 4: They could be ready to hit the reset there. Yeah.
• 9:58
  Speaker 4: Like with what they've done with some of the trades
• 9:59
  Speaker 4: and everything. That's what I'm wondering.
• 10:01
  Speaker 1: With where they are in Hertz's contract. It could be
• 10:04
  Speaker 1: a different franchise in 2027.
• 10:06
  Speaker 4: I think the Giants are winning the division. Am I
• 10:09
  Speaker 4: a moron? Well, don't answer that. That's putting belief in Jameis.
• 10:14
  Speaker 4: I'm putting my belief in Harbaugh is where I start.
• 10:17
  Speaker 4: I just, I think he's just tremendous. in terms of
• 10:21
  Speaker 4: just getting stuff out of the team. But yeah, you
• 10:25
  Speaker 4: obviously got the Jameis factor there. which is a roller
• 10:28
  Speaker 4: coaster in every single game that he plays. So you
• 10:31
  Speaker 4: may think, Mac, you're right on that in the first
• 10:33
  Speaker 4: half of the game. In the second half, you may think,
• 10:35
  Speaker 4: why did I believe in Jameis? But that's the thing
• 10:37
  Speaker 4: about Finney saying the Giants aren't fun to watch. Finney,
• 10:41
  Speaker 4: the Jameis experience, that's not fun to watch for you?
• 10:43
  Speaker 4: On and off the field. It's one of the most
• 10:44
  Speaker 4: entertaining quarterbacks of my lifetime.
• 10:47
  Speaker 3: He's like Phil Mickelson. He is the Phil Mickelson of quarterbacks.
• 10:52
  Speaker 4: Here we go. I just made a great shot. Oh,
• 10:53
  Speaker 4: here we go. I just kerplunk.
• 10:56
  Speaker 3: So anyway, I don't know. But hey, that's a good
• 10:59
  Speaker 3: point about the AFC South. I guess I'm just glad
• 11:01
  Speaker 3: our division has company. Brian says, Mac, why do you
• 11:04
  Speaker 3: want our division to be better than these other divisions?
• 11:07
  Speaker 3: I don't give a damn about any of these teams.
• 11:09
  Speaker 3: Tony texts in, says, Mac, why do we care if
• 11:12
  Speaker 3: our division's the best? I want it to be the
• 11:14
  Speaker 3: worst so we can get a ton of wins. That's
• 11:16
  Speaker 3: a fair point, too. Someone says, who cares? We're all
• 11:19
  Speaker 3: going to get one playoff team, and then that's it.
• 11:23
  Speaker 3: I don't know if I want it to be better.
• 11:25
  Speaker 3: I'm just kind of amused by the fact that the
• 11:29
  Speaker 3: NFC East is back to NFC Least mode. I'm just
• 11:32
  Speaker 3: kind of amused by all these big market— big reputation,
• 11:38
  Speaker 3: big hype teams kind of stinking simultaneously. I just, I'm
• 11:43
  Speaker 3: kind of amused by that. And the NFC South gets
• 11:46
  Speaker 3: so much crap. I think I'm just glad that somebody
• 11:49
  Speaker 3: else is catching a flag. Somebody else's coaches are doing
• 11:52
  Speaker 3: dodo bird things at the end of games.
• 11:55
  Speaker 4: You know what I mean?
• 11:56
  Speaker 3: But yeah, ultimately I agree with the texter. I love
• 11:59
  Speaker 3: the NFC South. I love a division bone where we
• 12:02
  Speaker 3: can be two and two and have first place by ourself.
• 12:05
  Speaker 4: I do. So I don't want to lose that. The
• 12:07
  Speaker 4: NFC East may not... I mean, it may be equal.
• 12:11
  Speaker 4: One may be worse than the other. But I will
• 12:13
  Speaker 4: say this. It doesn't mean the NFC South, Mac, is
• 12:15
  Speaker 4: actually good, though. It's just about how bad the NFC
• 12:17
  Speaker 4: East has become. No, this dude says, Mac, how can you...
• 12:19
  Speaker 4: Get up is so confused right now on who to
• 12:21
  Speaker 4: talk about. Oh, they're struggling. They're struggling. 704 says... Where's
• 12:29
  Speaker 4: this thing at?
• 12:29
  Speaker 3: 704 number says, Mac, you hate on all the teams
• 12:32
  Speaker 3: in the South. Make fun of them. But now all
• 12:34
  Speaker 3: of a sudden we're a better division than the East.
• 12:38
  Speaker 3: I didn't really weigh in on that.
• 12:41
  Speaker 4: I do think like if you did a challenge, the
• 12:44
  Speaker 4: NFC East, NFC South challenge and bone, this would be
• 12:48
  Speaker 4: a ratings bonanza. This event, this would be the whole
• 12:51
  Speaker 4: country would stop what they're doing. But if you just
• 12:53
  Speaker 4: went by the standings right now, first place Giants versus Panthers,
• 12:57
  Speaker 4: I would pick the Panthers.
• 13:00
  Speaker 5: Yeah.
• 13:00
  Speaker 4: Yeah, no.
• 13:01
  Speaker 3: Second place, Eagles versus Falcons. I think I would pick Falcons.
• 13:05
  Speaker 3: I would choose going outside. I think I would pick Falcons.
• 13:08
  Speaker 3: I'd rather watch actual birds fly around. Then you go
• 13:11
  Speaker 3: to Tampa and Dallas, third place team.
• 13:14
  Speaker 4: Just saw that. I just saw that game. And then
• 13:17
  Speaker 4: New Orleans, Washington.
• 13:19
  Speaker 3: I know New Orleans has given up points by the
• 13:21
  Speaker 3: gallon right now, but I just watched Washington do not know, Bone,
• 13:26
  Speaker 3: how this, they had 55 seconds to simply spike the
• 13:30
  Speaker 3: ball and set up for a field goal and couldn't
• 13:32
  Speaker 3: manage to do it.
• 13:32
  Speaker 4: So I have to be honest. Can't the South win
• 13:36
  Speaker 4: like three of those matchups or four?
• 13:38
  Speaker 3: I got to tell you, kind of an intriguing set
• 13:40
  Speaker 3: of games. And then the winners of that challenge get
• 13:44
  Speaker 3: the AFC South, Boney.
• 13:45
  Speaker 4: Yeah. Man, this is amazing. We're giving you ideas, Roger Goodell.
• 13:50
  Speaker 4: We don't want to take on the NFC West challenge, though,
• 13:52
  Speaker 4: do we? Oh, hell no. Thank God we are not
• 13:55
  Speaker 4: playing that division.
• 13:56
  Speaker 3: This year, man. Although the North... The North is no
• 13:59
  Speaker 3: dang better roses to be.
• 14:01
  Speaker 4: Playing this year. No, especially with Minnesota doing what they're doing.
• 14:03
  Speaker 4: We thought they may be the worst team, but nope,
• 14:04
  Speaker 4: they're the best team right now. Yeah, yeah. They're scary, man,
• 14:08
  Speaker 4: on defense. When we come back, it's what the bleep.
• 14:11
  Speaker 4: Stories in sports and in life that make us say
• 14:14
  Speaker 4: what the bleep on Sports Radio 92.7 WFNZ.
• 14:39
  Speaker 3: Sports Radio 92.7 WFNZ. Mack and Bone hanging out with
• 14:43
  Speaker 3: you on a Tuesday. I know you're shocked by this, Bone.
• 14:48
  Speaker 3: People think that I need to slow down. Right now,
• 14:52
  Speaker 3: in my feelings about the Carolina Panthers, this has never
• 14:55
  Speaker 3: happened before. Kevin from Columbia. Mac, we're four to five
• 14:59
  Speaker 3: weeks into the season. I love the Panthers, but they've
• 15:02
  Speaker 3: yet to prove they can string together two to three
• 15:05
  Speaker 3: consecutive wins. Until they prove it, Philly and Dallas are better.
• 15:09
  Speaker 3: My point is, what are Philly and Dallas proving this year?
• 15:12
  Speaker 4: Like, what are we... Yeah, nothing.
• 15:14
  Speaker 3: Like, Philly's obviously got great accomplishments in the past, but...
• 15:18
  Speaker 3: Is it crazy to think they just look like a
• 15:20
  Speaker 3: team that is too injured right now?
• 15:23
  Speaker 4: Dallas has great accomplishments in the past as well, but
• 15:27
  Speaker 4: way past. You got to go to what Dr. Quinn
• 15:30
  Speaker 4: Medicine Woman was running the streets.
• 15:33
  Speaker 1: Both teams have lost games where they led with less
• 15:37
  Speaker 1: than eight seconds to go in the fourth quarter.
• 15:42
  Speaker 4: But they proved more than a Panther team.
• 15:45
  Speaker 1: That was ravaged by injuries and won a game on
• 15:47
  Speaker 1: Sunday night football against the lions.
• 15:49
  Speaker 4: Yeah. What logic is that? Yeah.
• 15:51
  Speaker 3: I I'm not buying that either. And listen to the Panthers.
• 15:54
  Speaker 3: Do the Panthers need to gain, get that drop. Do
• 15:58
  Speaker 3: the Panthers need to gain consistency?
• 15:59
  Speaker 4: Absolutely.
• 16:00
  Speaker 3: They didn't have it last year, but 50s point about
• 16:03
  Speaker 3: all the injuries and overcoming them.
• 16:05
  Speaker 4: I just, I, I listen, I've been wrong before. Y'all
• 16:08
  Speaker 4: know that.
• 16:09
  Speaker 3: I just feel like if this team can get healthy,
• 16:12
  Speaker 3: they will be bone what we thought they would be
• 16:14
  Speaker 3: before the season. I just feel like you're going to
• 16:17
  Speaker 3: see that they're making another step. If they get healthy,
• 16:21
  Speaker 3: I really believe Dallas. I look at as the usual
• 16:24
  Speaker 3: mediocre team. They always are. I look at us as
• 16:27
  Speaker 3: a team bone that was mediocre and in the playoffs
• 16:29
  Speaker 3: last year, but the arrows pointing up to me, Dallas's
• 16:32
  Speaker 3: arrow is just flat. It's just, they are what they are.
• 16:35
  Speaker 3: They're a great offense. They're fun to watch the defense.
• 16:38
  Speaker 3: The national media told us all summer defenses improve, but
• 16:41
  Speaker 3: it's really not.
• 16:43
  Speaker 1: I know we've got to get to what to bleep,
• 16:44
  Speaker 1: but look at this text we got from a 503 number, Mac.
• 16:47
  Speaker 4: What's that?
• 16:48
  Speaker 1: This is Dallas under Schottenheimer. They're 9-12-1 overall. Six of
• 16:53
  Speaker 1: those losses were by 15 points or more. Only one
• 16:57
  Speaker 1: of his nine wins against a playoff team. They lead
• 17:00
  Speaker 1: the league in penalty yards. In eight of those nine wins,
• 17:03
  Speaker 1: the offense scored 30 points. They've only won one game
• 17:07
  Speaker 1: under Schottenheim where they've scored less than 30 points. First
• 17:10
  Speaker 1: coach in Cowboys history to lose to a rookie undrafted
• 17:14
  Speaker 1: free agent at quarterback.
• 17:15
  Speaker 4: And they did that at home on a short week.
• 17:18
  Speaker 1: But yeah, the little old Carolina Panthers haven't proved anything
• 17:22
  Speaker 1: as compared to the star in Dallas.
• 17:24
  Speaker 4: Kiss my ass. I love it. I love it. Panther Finney.
• 17:28
  Speaker 4: Cowboy Finney no more. Cowboy Finney is dead.
• 17:31
  Speaker 3: All right, anyway, Bone's just patiently waiting to do some
• 17:34
  Speaker 3: Florida Man stories right now.
• 17:35
  Speaker 4: Sorry, Bone.
• 17:36
  Speaker 3: Let's get to them, man. Don't steal Florida Man time.
• 17:39
  Speaker 3: Don't assume they're all Florida Man stories, all right? You
• 17:41
  Speaker 3: don't know that for sure.
• 17:42
  Speaker 4: We'll find out. How about we start back at the
• 17:44
  Speaker 4: Miami International Airport after U.S. Customs and Border Protection officers...
• 17:50
  Speaker 4: Ha ha ha! It was the second time in a
• 18:20
  Speaker 4: week at that. Sure. Yeah. The second time in a
• 18:24
  Speaker 4: week at that airport that someone had live birds in
• 18:26
  Speaker 4: their pants. I was now.
• 18:27
  Speaker 3: Is that a is there a is there is that
• 18:30
  Speaker 3: just a travel thing like I can store them all
• 18:33
  Speaker 3: in here?
• 18:33
  Speaker 4: Is that like fun for him? Does he enjoy that?
• 18:38
  Speaker 4: He wasn't smuggling the cell. They were his own personal birds.
• 18:42
  Speaker 4: But they just have to travel? Isn't there a cage available?
• 18:46
  Speaker 4: You can put them underneath the... He was smuggling goods
• 18:48
  Speaker 4: by his goods. I'm starting to wonder if he just
• 18:52
  Speaker 4: kind of likes that. We went from birds talk to
• 18:55
  Speaker 4: that type of birds talk. Talk about dirty birds. Ten birds.
• 18:58
  Speaker 3: Is he the ten injured eagles right now?
• 19:01
  Speaker 4: Is that who he's got? And birds in his pants. Oh,
• 19:03
  Speaker 4: my goodness. All right.
• 19:05
  Speaker 3: I got a what to bleep. I got a what
• 19:07
  Speaker 3: to bleep, Jim Harbaugh. Jim Harbaugh's an amazing football coach.
• 19:11
  Speaker 4: Birds in his khakis.
• 19:12
  Speaker 3: Jim Harbaugh's an amazing football coach, but an 0-5 bone
• 19:17
  Speaker 3: in yesterday's presser. He does not sound like an amazing
• 19:20
  Speaker 3: football coach. Jim Harbaugh, you got to be there for
• 19:23
  Speaker 3: your team in adversity. You've got to set the tone
• 19:26
  Speaker 3: that we will battle through this. bone i'm not sure
• 19:30
  Speaker 3: he did that in yesterday's presser listen to this.
• 19:33
  Speaker 1: When you're on five what is the what is the
• 19:35
  Speaker 1: message that that works you know that kind of gets
• 19:39
  Speaker 1: through or is there one.
• 19:40
  Speaker 5: Uh yeah i don't know what that message uh is
• 19:46
  Speaker 5: the um it's just in the you know the players
• 19:53
  Speaker 5: that just fight their hearts out you know play uh
• 19:58
  Speaker 5: give it everything they have that's that's the only way
• 20:01
  Speaker 5: that's the that's the best way but uh yeah that's.
• 20:09
  Speaker 4: What do you believe is that answer, Paul? Even Bill
• 20:13
  Speaker 4: Belichick's like, say something.
• 20:14
  Speaker 3: I mean, you are the leader of men, dude. You've
• 20:17
  Speaker 3: been a great coach, and that's how you answer the question,
• 20:20
  Speaker 3: what's the message to your 0-5 team?
• 20:23
  Speaker 4: Oh, my God. No wonder they can't rally themselves. My gosh.
• 20:29
  Speaker 4: What's your message?
• 20:30
  Speaker 3: Justin, go hang out with Madison Beer a little more.
• 20:32
  Speaker 4: That's my advice. Is he high?
• 20:35
  Speaker 1: No.
• 20:36
  Speaker 4: No, he's Harbaugh. He's just running on fumes right now. Oh,
• 20:41
  Speaker 4: my goodness. Mac, we have a political mishap in Portland, Maine.
• 20:46
  Speaker 4: It's important to know that this happened in Portland, Maine,
• 20:51
  Speaker 4: where there's a Republican race going on between... There's a
• 20:55
  Speaker 4: senator race, excuse me, between Republican candidate Susan Collins and
• 20:59
  Speaker 4: Democratic candidate Troy Jackson. Susan Collins bought TV ad money,
• 21:05
  Speaker 4: ad space, to go after who she calls Taxon Troy Jackson.
• 21:10
  Speaker 4: They're attacking that poor Taxon Troy Jackson with ads. That's
• 21:13
  Speaker 4: kind of funny, actually. Unfortunately, they made a mistake, and
• 21:16
  Speaker 4: they spent all the TV ad money, not in Portland, Maine,
• 21:20
  Speaker 4: for broadcasts in Portland, Oregon. How does that happen? The
• 21:23
  Speaker 4: whole ad budget went all the way across the country
• 21:26
  Speaker 4: and not in Maine as intended. What the bleep? How
• 21:28
  Speaker 4: does that happen? So all these Oregon people are like,
• 21:30
  Speaker 4: why are we getting Maine ads for taxing Troy Jackson?
• 21:34
  Speaker 4: This is the wrong Portland, man. That's why you don't
• 21:37
  Speaker 4: go after taxing Troy Jackson. I don't even know how
• 21:39
  Speaker 4: that is possible. Whoever was in charge of like the
• 21:43
  Speaker 4: whatever Republican wing of the of the ads screwed up completely.
• 21:48
  Speaker 3: I mean, that's that that that might be that one's
• 21:51
  Speaker 3: right up there with Dan Quinn and Jaden Daniels.
• 21:53
  Speaker 4: The other day. But yeah, I got to tell you,
• 21:55
  Speaker 4: she was so mad and she stated publicly, I would
• 21:57
  Speaker 4: never run in Portland, Oregon. I'm running in Portland, Maine. Oh,
• 22:00
  Speaker 4: my goodness. All right. All right.
• 22:02
  Speaker 3: I got a what the bleep. I got a what
• 22:05
  Speaker 3: the bleep Instagram bone. Oh, Instagram's algorithm has apparently bone
• 22:10
  Speaker 3: become Creed's most devout fan because Instagram had to put
• 22:16
  Speaker 3: out a statement acknowledging their mistake because their algorithm apparently
• 22:21
  Speaker 3: kept recommending the song higher. from Creed for people to
• 22:26
  Speaker 3: use bone, uh, on their montages. And it didn't matter
• 22:31
  Speaker 3: what the montage was. And they had to come out
• 22:34
  Speaker 3: and say, we messed up. We were over recommending the
• 22:38
  Speaker 3: song higher by Creed.
• 22:40
  Speaker 4: I would venture.
• 22:41
  Speaker 3: I would actually say this. If you have recommended people
• 22:44
  Speaker 3: on social media, use any Creed song one time, you
• 22:48
  Speaker 3: have done it too many times. What the bleep are we?
• 22:50
  Speaker 4: That's a mistake. You can't make with that band, sir.
• 22:53
  Speaker 4: Hold on a minute. Can you recommend Creed enough? Are
• 22:57
  Speaker 4: you still in on Creed, buddy? Oh, I've never left Creed.
• 23:01
  Speaker 4: My day one Creed guy. Are you in on Nickelback still?
• 23:05
  Speaker 4: Do you know, Mac, when I found Creed, I was low.
• 23:07
  Speaker 4: Do you know what they did for me? They took
• 23:08
  Speaker 4: you higher. They took me higher. What about Nickelback? You
• 23:13
  Speaker 4: got their back or no? I've always been more Creed
• 23:14
  Speaker 4: than Nickelback. Okay. All right. There you go. Stay strong, bro.
• 23:18
  Speaker 4: Creed hits that emotional valve that few bands can hit.
• 23:21
  Speaker 4: They're basically my Rolling Stones. I just don't like that
• 23:24
  Speaker 4: Eddie Vedder copycat stuff, man. I don't like that. Why'd
• 23:27
  Speaker 4: you go John Gruden, man? Man. Mac, I was going
• 23:30
  Speaker 4: to do this story about a Florida man attacking another
• 23:33
  Speaker 4: guy at Publix, but he tried to kill him, so
• 23:35
  Speaker 4: I put that to the side there. So we're going
• 23:37
  Speaker 4: to do an older Florida man story from a few
• 23:40
  Speaker 4: years back. This is Nelson Agosto, a 51-year-old resident of Stewart, Florida,
• 23:46
  Speaker 4: who was arrested for misusing the 911 system. Because while
• 23:52
  Speaker 4: he was eating at Krabby's Seafood Shack, he called 911
• 23:56
  Speaker 4: and said, the clams I've been given for my order
• 24:00
  Speaker 4: are simply not big enough. Hey, now. They told him, sir,
• 24:04
  Speaker 4: we cannot help you, Max. Do you know what Mr.
• 24:06
  Speaker 4: Agosto did after that? What's that? He called back and said, no,
• 24:09
  Speaker 4: you don't understand. The clams are not big enough. He
• 24:12
  Speaker 4: called twice. Ha, ha, ha.
• 24:16
  Speaker 1: Who doesn't love a big old clam? Oh, no.
• 24:18
  Speaker 4: Behave yourself over there, Finny. Behave your dang self, sir.
• 24:22
  Speaker 4: This reminds me of when MFG would call the front
• 24:24
  Speaker 4: desk at the Hickory Tavern and ask where his order
• 24:27
  Speaker 4: was while he was sitting in the restaurant. Oh, he
• 24:28
  Speaker 4: was so proud of himself, man. So proud of himself.
• 24:31
  Speaker 3: I can't get my order of my chicken tenders. I
• 24:33
  Speaker 3: got a what the bleep. Did you watch Manningcast last night, Bo?
• 24:36
  Speaker 4: I did not, no. Oh, you missed Brycey on there. Actually,
• 24:40
  Speaker 4: I haven't watched much of that all year. I kind
• 24:41
  Speaker 4: of forgot about it, to be honest.
• 24:42
  Speaker 3: All right, so we played clips of Bryce. It was
• 24:44
  Speaker 3: really cool to see him on there. I saw the
• 24:46
  Speaker 3: clips of him, but yeah. But also, Brenda Song was
• 24:49
  Speaker 3: on there, actress Brenda Song, from way back in the day,
• 24:52
  Speaker 3: Suite Life, Zack and Cody. And she's a huge Rams fan.
• 24:55
  Speaker 3: I mean, like, she's a nut. Like, she's crazier than
• 24:57
  Speaker 3: we are about the Panthers. I mean, it's just, she's
• 25:00
  Speaker 3: an insane fan. Rams fan, but I got to what
• 25:03
  Speaker 3: the bleeper bone because she stole my Bryce toss play.
• 25:07
  Speaker 3: She was on there taking credit for the Brenda send
• 25:10
  Speaker 3: a play that she has proposed to Sean McVay, where
• 25:13
  Speaker 3: they take a running back and throw him over the
• 25:15
  Speaker 3: line and short yardage. Eli Manning did a whole skit
• 25:19
  Speaker 3: about this same sort of play.
• 25:22
  Speaker 4: On one of his shows, Bone. This was like Lombardi's
• 25:24
  Speaker 4: toss sweep play for you. They are both stealing my
• 25:27
  Speaker 4: Bryce toss play, man. What the bleep's going on? That's
• 25:30
  Speaker 4: not right. Come on. Do they listen to the program?
• 25:33
  Speaker 4: Give me credit, y'all. I had to Bryce toss first, man. Matt,
• 25:36
  Speaker 4: real quick, my last story. We have to talk about what?
• 25:41
  Speaker 4: Well-known actor Tobey Maguire was up to this past weekend.
• 25:45
  Speaker 4: So here's a little backstory. Tobey Maguire was married to...
• 25:50
  Speaker 4: I want to make sure I get her name right here.
• 25:54
  Speaker 4: Jewelry designer Jennifer Meyer from his early Spider-Man days until
• 25:58
  Speaker 4: they separated almost a decade ago. So they have been
• 26:02
  Speaker 4: separated for almost a decade. The marriage, though, he moved
• 26:05
  Speaker 4: on to date somebody else. She obviously, based off this story,
• 26:08
  Speaker 4: was with somebody else. But they did not get legally
• 26:12
  Speaker 4: divorced until September 21st recently. Took a while. It happens.
• 26:16
  Speaker 4: Took a while. But she got remarried to a billionaire,
• 26:21
  Speaker 4: the son of a billionaire, in Hawaii this past weekend.
• 26:24
  Speaker 4: Leo was there. Jeff Bezos was there. Star-studded wedding. Matt,
• 26:28
  Speaker 4: do you know who officiated this wedding?
• 26:31
  Speaker 1: No.
• 26:31
  Speaker 4: That would be your ex-husband, Tobey Maguire. Tobey Maguire did
• 26:36
  Speaker 4: the officiating. He was doing Spider-Man poses during the wedding ceremony.
• 26:42
  Speaker 4: He was out there doing Spider-Man. Look, I think it's
• 26:44
  Speaker 4: great when people get along, but that seems a little
• 26:48
  Speaker 4: bit odd, Matt. Going to the wedding is one thing,
• 26:51
  Speaker 4: but officiating the wedding for your ex-wife? That's a little
• 26:53
  Speaker 4: what to believe. That seems very Hollywood-ish of... What a
• 26:57
  Speaker 4: weird behavior. That's a little what the bleepy bone. That
• 26:59
  Speaker 4: is definitely a little what the bleepy. I will not.
• 27:01
  Speaker 4: When Mrs.
• 27:02
  Speaker 3: Mack finally divorces me, I will not officiate her second marriage.
• 27:06
  Speaker 4: Not out there doing spider. I will not do that.
• 27:08
  Speaker 4: I will just simply not do that. There's nothing wrong
• 27:10
  Speaker 4: with it. It's just any. And, you know, it just
• 27:12
  Speaker 4: obviously the wedding, the marriage just got done probably because
• 27:17
  Speaker 4: she's getting married. But it's very it's very soon since
• 27:20
  Speaker 4: they officially got divorced also.
• 27:22
  Speaker 3: Now people, Bone, are saying that I stole the Bryce
• 27:24
  Speaker 3: Toss from the late, great Mike Leach. I don't know
• 27:28
  Speaker 3: when Mike Leach– that's true. He suggested it. But I
• 27:31
  Speaker 3: didn't hear him suggest it until after I said it.
• 27:33
  Speaker 3: I don't know if he had been suggesting it for years.
• 27:36
  Speaker 3: I just think great football minds like me and Mike
• 27:38
  Speaker 3: Leach think alike.
• 27:40
  Speaker 4: Someone needs an apology here, and I know who it is.
• 27:42
  Speaker 4: Creed fans want an apology.
• 27:44
  Speaker 3: I didn't realize y'all were still out there on these
• 27:45
  Speaker 3: streets in 2026. All right, we got to wrap this up, Bone.
• 27:49
  Speaker 3: It's not often I get to what to bleep somebody.
• 27:51
  Speaker 3: who is in the studio with us. But everybody knows
• 27:53
  Speaker 3: 92 hangs out with us during the show, really enjoys
• 27:56
  Speaker 3: the show, and hangs out with us in the studio.
• 28:00
  Speaker 4: 92, I need to what to bleep you.
• 28:02
  Speaker 3: I think at one of your rallies, I think you
• 28:05
  Speaker 3: were trying to compliment Sophie Cunningham, and I'm not.
• 28:09
  Speaker 4: Sure it came out as a compliment. So I got
• 28:11
  Speaker 4: to what to bleep you. Listen to this one.
• 28:13
  Speaker 1: We like Sophie Cunningham.
• 28:14
  Speaker 4: I like Sophie.
• 28:21
  Speaker 1: You have a lot of men wanting to go and
• 28:23
  Speaker 1: watch your shoes.
• 28:25
  Speaker 4: You're not allowed to say that anymore, however. As a politician, please, please,
• 28:28
  Speaker 4: let me take it back.
• 28:30
  Speaker 3: Anytime a politician says.
• 28:33
  Speaker 4: A woman is beautiful, that's generally the end of his
• 28:35
  Speaker 4: political career in the modern-day politic world. But Sophie is
• 28:39
  Speaker 4: a beautiful young woman. You probably wouldn't find her on
• 28:42
  Speaker 4: the team, not to help you with voice, but to
• 28:45
  Speaker 4: help you with attendance.
• 28:46
  Speaker 5: 92.
• 28:50
  Speaker 3: What the bleep, 92? Were you complimenting her or not?
• 28:55
  Speaker 3: Because that did not sound like a compliment at the end.
• 28:57
  Speaker 1: Frankly, could you not understand what I was trying to
• 29:00
  Speaker 1: say there? She's a beautiful basketball player. I was looking
• 29:05
  Speaker 1: up her stats on cleaningtheglass.com. Another website I used in
• 29:10
  Speaker 1: my previous life. Can't talk about that, though. A great
• 29:14
  Speaker 1: 3 and D player. And you know I love 3Ds.
• 29:19
  Speaker 4: Oh, my God. All righty then. I'm sad that I asked.
• 29:22
  Speaker 4: I didn't know where that was headed there. I'm sad
• 29:24
  Speaker 4: that I asked. I was going to ask him, 92,
• 29:26
  Speaker 4: about Tobey Maguire, but I don't think I'm going to
• 29:28
  Speaker 4: get it.
• 29:29
  Speaker 1: Tobey Maguire, not the best Spider-Man. Tom Holland, don't lose Zendaya.
• 29:34
  Speaker 1: You'd hate to have to remarry someone else.
• 29:38
  Speaker 4: All right. Thank you, 92. Appreciate that, 92. All right.
• 29:41
  Speaker 4: When we come back here on the Mac and Bone Show,
• 29:44
  Speaker 4: what are your early week thoughts on the Philly game?
• 29:48
  Speaker 4: Is it a good time to play the Eagles or
• 29:50
  Speaker 4: a dangerous time? Sports Radio 92.7 WFNZ.
• 30:23
  Speaker 2: Yeah, it goes back to that rush plan, right? And
• 30:24
  Speaker 2: we talked about this, you know, in the last couple
• 30:26
  Speaker 2: of weeks and just some opportunities that some quarterbacks have
• 30:29
  Speaker 2: taken advantage of, of extending plays, you know, beyond the
• 30:32
  Speaker 2: normal timing of it and the stress that puts on
• 30:34
  Speaker 2: your coverage units and the rush group, they got to
• 30:36
  Speaker 2: be working together, whether you're rushing four or five, they
• 30:39
  Speaker 2: got to be really disciplined about their lanes to make
• 30:42
  Speaker 2: sure that we, you know, can, can mitigate some of
• 30:44
  Speaker 2: that escapability, especially with Jalen, who's going to try to
• 30:47
  Speaker 2: extend plays when he can. So the guys got to
• 30:49
  Speaker 2: work together. They got to have discipline and, And there's
• 30:52
  Speaker 2: a selflessness that's required where you may feel like you
• 30:56
  Speaker 2: have a win on this angle, but gosh, you're going
• 30:59
  Speaker 2: to open up a lane. And so you have to recontain,
• 31:01
  Speaker 2: you know, and, and the guys made huge strides this
• 31:04
  Speaker 2: past week in terms of just being able to do that.
• 31:07
  Speaker 2: So that's something we can continue to build off of.
• 31:09
  Speaker 4: There you go.
• 31:10
  Speaker 3: That's coach Canales on a Panther talk last night. It's
• 31:15
  Speaker 3: contained time again, bone it's contained time. Again, the Panthers
• 31:18
  Speaker 3: have not done that. Well, they've played two games in,
• 31:21
  Speaker 3: against mobile quarterbacks, and they have struggled to contain and
• 31:25
  Speaker 3: keep rush lane integrity in those games. So that will
• 31:28
  Speaker 3: be a challenge. Even Jalen Hurts is struggling throwing the football, 52% completions.
• 31:33
  Speaker 4: That's it.
• 31:34
  Speaker 3: But that element, Bone, is something that I am not
• 31:38
  Speaker 3: going to... I got accused of being arrogant.
• 31:41
  Speaker 4: For no reason earlier, Bone. Can you believe that? Can
• 31:44
  Speaker 4: you believe that? But I will... Oh, I can believe...
• 31:46
  Speaker 4: I very much so. Don't answer that. Don't answer that.
• 31:49
  Speaker 3: But I will not be arrogant about that aspect of
• 31:52
  Speaker 3: this matchup. Like, Prince Lee, everybody, Jalen, if he plays,
• 31:55
  Speaker 3: Jalen Phillips, if he plays, y'all got to rush.
• 31:58
  Speaker 4: But keep him. It's like Peyton talked about it last
• 32:01
  Speaker 4: night on the Manicast. The cage rush is what they
• 32:03
  Speaker 4: call it nowadays. You've got to keep him in that cage, man.
• 32:06
  Speaker 4: It's like when Fitty was single at a bar. You
• 32:09
  Speaker 4: want him out there, but you don't want him out there.
• 32:12
  Speaker 4: You want him contained to a certain area of the bar.
• 32:14
  Speaker 4: He was definitely like Prince Lee. You don't want him roaming.
• 32:17
  Speaker 4: Fitty would run up on them ladies. Hey, hey, hey,
• 32:20
  Speaker 4: what's going on? What's going on, ladies? And they would
• 32:21
  Speaker 4: just run the other way and be like, Prince Lee,
• 32:23
  Speaker 4: I just lost contain. Not now, though. Not now, though.
• 32:26
  Speaker 4: He's a smitten Fitten now, baby. I also didn't go
• 32:29
  Speaker 4: out on the prowl. I just stayed home and watched sports.
• 32:32
  Speaker 3: Yeah, that could have been a problem for you, too.
• 32:34
  Speaker 3: That could have definitely been a problem. Young Bucks, shoot
• 32:37
  Speaker 3: your shot, baby. Life is too short. Shoot your shot, man.
• 32:41
  Speaker 4: We live in the Steph Curry era. Just fire from
• 32:43
  Speaker 4: way down. I was too scared to shoot my shot
• 32:46
  Speaker 4: a lot when I was young, too. You were doing
• 32:48
  Speaker 4: the mic and drill. You know what I mean? I'd
• 32:49
  Speaker 4: just hang out with the fellas. Right underneath the basket.
• 32:50
  Speaker 3: I'd just hang out with the fellas, talk sports, and be.
• 32:53
  Speaker 4: Like, hey, those girls look nice over there. Anybody going
• 32:55
  Speaker 4: to talk to them?
• 32:56
  Speaker 1: No.
• 32:57
  Speaker 4: Don't be like that, young bucks. Don't be like that.
• 32:59
  Speaker 4: I was a great recruiter, though. I got my guys
• 33:01
  Speaker 4: a lot of girls. Okay, there you go. They would
• 33:03
  Speaker 4: see me and say, hey, you got anything better? I'd say, yeah,
• 33:05
  Speaker 4: we got this guy over here. We got this guy
• 33:07
  Speaker 4: over here. This guy's successful. Oh, God. All right.
• 33:09
  Speaker 3: Anyway, let's talk about the Eagles. You know, we could
• 33:12
  Speaker 3: talk about just senseless crap all day long. Some would
• 33:16
  Speaker 3: argue we already do that. Some would say we've done
• 33:18
  Speaker 3: it for 20 plus years.
• 33:19
  Speaker 4: All right. Let's talk about this. Hey, what cookies?
• 33:21
  Speaker 3: Let's talk about this Eagles thing. Canales was asked about
• 33:24
  Speaker 3: it yesterday, Bone.
• 33:25
  Speaker 4: Like.
• 33:26
  Speaker 3: How do you feel about playing a team that is
• 33:28
  Speaker 3: coming off such a devastating loss where they think they've
• 33:31
  Speaker 3: won it with eight seconds left, the kick return, the
• 33:34
  Speaker 3: field goal, and oh my God, we're already struggling so
• 33:37
  Speaker 3: much for wins. We're struggling so much with injuries. The
• 33:39
  Speaker 3: fans of Philadelphia are mean when we're winning Super Bowl.
• 33:43
  Speaker 3: We got to deal with them. And then that gut punch.
• 33:48
  Speaker 3: What is your feeling on like this aspect of the game? Like,
• 33:52
  Speaker 3: do you feel like, oh, they got to be down bad.
• 33:55
  Speaker 3: I think we can jump on them, get the fans
• 33:57
  Speaker 3: turning against them and just have them licking their own wounds.
• 34:00
  Speaker 3: Or do you almost feel like this makes them more
• 34:02
  Speaker 3: dangerous this week, the Eagles?
• 34:04
  Speaker 4: I have a different spin on it. You ready for
• 34:06
  Speaker 4: this one? Because it is kind of hard to tell.
• 34:08
  Speaker 4: I'm torn on that whole element of are the Eagles
• 34:12
  Speaker 4: at the right time, the wrong time. But I go
• 34:16
  Speaker 4: right time, Mac, for this reason. The Eagles are trying
• 34:19
  Speaker 4: to figure themselves out. They're all types of banged up.
• 34:22
  Speaker 4: They played in London on Sunday. They have to travel back.
• 34:26
  Speaker 4: They don't get a bye week. Panthers off the bye week.
• 34:29
  Speaker 4: So I'm not sure exactly what Eagles, their mindset will be,
• 34:33
  Speaker 4: but I would not change this setup for the world
• 34:36
  Speaker 4: of a devastating loss across the pond, have to come
• 34:40
  Speaker 4: back and play a team that is on a bye week.
• 34:43
  Speaker 4: I sign up for that all day. So I think
• 34:45
  Speaker 4: advantage Panthers, regardless of the mindset of the Philadelphia Eagles. Yeah,
• 34:49
  Speaker 4: that's a perfect setup for the Panthers. Yeah, it's good circumstances.
• 34:52
  Speaker 4: There's no doubt about it. I don't know what that
• 34:53
  Speaker 4: means for their mentality, but I wouldn't trade that schedule.
• 34:57
  Speaker 4: You know, some people are saying it's kind of like
• 34:59
  Speaker 4: a schedule quirk in some ways that they're playing a
• 35:02
  Speaker 4: team off a bye. They're there in London. Doesn't happen
• 35:05
  Speaker 4: all the time.
• 35:05
  Speaker 3: If people in Philadelphia like to bitch and moan, and
• 35:08
  Speaker 3: I'm not sure they do that at all, but if
• 35:10
  Speaker 3: they did bone, they would have something to complain about.
• 35:13
  Speaker 3: Like if we had the reverse where we had to
• 35:15
  Speaker 3: come back from London and they were off a buy,
• 35:18
  Speaker 3: we would have a problem with it. We would say
• 35:20
  Speaker 3: how on earth, when you guys check everything, it takes
• 35:22
  Speaker 3: you months to make the schedule. Did y'all not think
• 35:25
  Speaker 3: that that was an advantage? So to your point, I
• 35:28
  Speaker 3: like that aspect of it. As far as it is
• 35:31
  Speaker 3: hard to get inside the minds of these Eagle players. Plus,
• 35:34
  Speaker 3: we also don't know if Barkley and Devante Smith are
• 35:36
  Speaker 3: going to play. That can definitely change things. Now, their
• 35:39
  Speaker 3: offensive line I still expect to be a huge issue
• 35:42
  Speaker 3: for them. But obviously if they get those two guys back,
• 35:45
  Speaker 3: and it seems like there's a chance, that can change
• 35:47
  Speaker 3: the game.
• 35:48
  Speaker 4: They're still bringing a hell of a defense. That's the
• 35:50
  Speaker 4: concern is their defensive side. They are, no doubt about it.
• 35:53
  Speaker 3: And with the way Luke Fortner struggled, I saw our
• 35:56
  Speaker 3: guy Edgar Salmingo tweet this out, Bone. Luke Fortner has
• 36:00
  Speaker 3: given up more percentage of the pressures allowed than any
• 36:03
  Speaker 3: center has of his team. I think it's like 16.7%.
• 36:07
  Speaker 3: No center has given up that much of the total pressures.
• 36:10
  Speaker 3: So you put Luke Fortner in there and if he's
• 36:13
  Speaker 3: responsible for Jalen Carter or even Jordan David, like that,
• 36:16
  Speaker 3: you know what I mean? So there's definitely concerns there.
• 36:19
  Speaker 3: As far as Philadelphia, I said last week, I wanted
• 36:22
  Speaker 3: them to win the game. I didn't want them to
• 36:25
  Speaker 3: come into the game with us on a three game
• 36:27
  Speaker 3: losing streak. Cause I feel like it's inevitable. They get
• 36:30
  Speaker 3: themselves one. I think I wanted them to finish that
• 36:33
  Speaker 3: game out as much as it's been fun to make
• 36:35
  Speaker 3: fun of them. Well, they try to, I think I
• 36:37
  Speaker 3: wanted them bone to finish the game off, but multiple
• 36:42
  Speaker 3: people have said that they just believe Philadelphia mentally is
• 36:47
  Speaker 3: in a dark place.
• 36:49
  Speaker 4: Like after that. And like, I guess that's possible. That's
• 36:52
  Speaker 4: possible too. I guess. He has mentioned, you know, pending
• 36:55
  Speaker 4: how this goes, is there any chance that, the Reaper
• 36:58
  Speaker 4: strikes another victim in Nick Sirianni, the way things are going.
• 37:01
  Speaker 4: Definitely possible, dude. Reaper might show up with a pink slip.
• 37:05
  Speaker 4: I don't know if just a loss would do it,
• 37:07
  Speaker 4: but if they have some sort of.
• 37:10
  Speaker 4: Meltdown or some coaching thing he's he's on the he's
• 37:14
  Speaker 4: on that doorstep of major trouble right now oh big
• 37:16
  Speaker 4: time big time and and i'll tell you this though
• 37:19
  Speaker 4: it's another game now we said this about cleveland it
• 37:22
  Speaker 4: didn't exactly go this way bone uh but it's another
• 37:25
  Speaker 4: game where i'm looking and saying if we can jump
• 37:28
  Speaker 4: on them early and get those fans groaning and turn
• 37:32
  Speaker 4: those fans against their own Like, it would really behoove
• 37:36
  Speaker 4: us to do that. As a matter of fact, Matt,
• 37:38
  Speaker 4: just the kickoff may do that. I mean, this is
• 37:42
  Speaker 4: a team that I'll never forget it. They won the
• 37:45
  Speaker 4: first time when they beat New England for that Super Bowl.
• 37:48
  Speaker 4: They played Atlanta on that Thursday night to start the season.
• 37:52
  Speaker 4: By halftime, after they had a title celebration, they were
• 37:56
  Speaker 4: booing their offense by halftime. Ha ha ha! It doesn't
• 38:00
  Speaker 4: take a lot. So I think, Bone, to your point,
• 38:04
  Speaker 4: I think we should, if we win the coin toss,
• 38:06
  Speaker 4: elect to kick. Or no, elect to receive.
• 38:10
  Speaker 3: If they kick that off and we run it back
• 38:12
  Speaker 3: for 60 yards, they have lost those fans for the day, man.
• 38:15
  Speaker 4: Seriously. There's no doubt about it. Also, you have to wonder, too, confidence-wise, Mac,
• 38:21
  Speaker 4: you see when teams have a meltdown or they can't
• 38:26
  Speaker 4: close games, that does sometimes seep into your head. So
• 38:29
  Speaker 4: if this is a close game at the end, do
• 38:31
  Speaker 4: they pee down their leg again? Do they start to
• 38:33
  Speaker 4: do the demons come back on them?
• 38:34
  Speaker 3: That's a good question. AC says Philly's in a free fall.
• 38:37
  Speaker 3: Third or fourth string back, no wide receivers. Sirianni did
• 38:41
  Speaker 3: say that both Smith and Barkley could play this week.
• 38:45
  Speaker 3: But you're right. Without Smith, we know they traded Brown
• 38:48
  Speaker 3: away in the offseason. Wicks is an okay receiver, but
• 38:51
  Speaker 3: you're number one. And then you throw in the running
• 38:54
  Speaker 3: back situation. Shipley's now hurt. Bigsby is hurt. They literally,
• 38:59
  Speaker 3: if Barkley doesn't play, they are down to a fourth
• 39:01
  Speaker 3: running back. Not to mention Bone. They have one starting
• 39:04
  Speaker 3: O-lineman from the start of the damn season.
• 39:06
  Speaker 4: They're all in different places right now. 803 says this
• 39:10
  Speaker 4: is a trap game. I don't think this fits the
• 39:12
  Speaker 4: definition of a trap game. Panthers off a bye week.
• 39:15
  Speaker 4: I don't think they're taking the Eagles lightly. Usually a
• 39:17
  Speaker 4: trap game is a game between a game.
• 39:19
  Speaker 3: But Panthers off of a week of being saluted by
• 39:22
  Speaker 3: all of America.
• 39:23
  Speaker 4: I don't think i wouldn't view the eagles and what
• 39:25
  Speaker 4: they've done it's still i don't think that they view
• 39:27
  Speaker 4: them as a team that they're gonna like overwork or
• 39:29
  Speaker 4: anything like that i don't think they're gonna fall into
• 39:31
  Speaker 4: a trap i just i just know we i think
• 39:32
  Speaker 4: the panders are good enough to fall into the trap
• 39:34
  Speaker 4: yet we bone we have been like this is and
• 39:37
  Speaker 4: this is the most attention we've gotten for a week
• 39:40
  Speaker 4: period from the national media positively in a long time
• 39:44
  Speaker 4: you know there is that element of of of things
• 39:48
  Speaker 4: i will say that Yeah, but I'm not putting it
• 39:51
  Speaker 4: in the trap category. If they lose, they lose. But
• 39:53
  Speaker 4: I don't think it's because they're not. It's rat poison.
• 39:56
  Speaker 4: A lot of rat poison.
• 39:57
  Speaker 5: There you go.
• 39:58
  Speaker 3: You can put it in whatever category you want to
• 39:59
  Speaker 3: put it in. But we have been fed rat poison.
• 40:02
  Speaker 3: And I don't know if you know this, Bone. We
• 40:04
  Speaker 3: usually don't have rat poison on our menu. We usually
• 40:07
  Speaker 3: don't have people telling.
• 40:08
  Speaker 4: Our quarterback how great he is, putting him on every show,
• 40:11
  Speaker 4: and we usually don't have people telling us how good
• 40:13
  Speaker 4: we are two and two. Matt, speaking of things going well,
• 40:16
  Speaker 4: Wake Forest football is smoking hot right now. Duke has
• 40:19
  Speaker 4: had a good season despite the other day. A man
• 40:21
  Speaker 4: that covers both those teams, Connor O'Neal of On3 Sports
• 40:26
  Speaker 4: talks Wake and Duke. That's next. Sports Radio 92.7 WFNZ.
