• 1:49
  Speaker 1: starting here this morning. Man, when's the last time we

• 2:07
  Speaker 1: Welcome in. How was your weekend? It was all right?
• 2:10
  Speaker 3: Didn't start off all that great. Ducks did not show up,
• 2:14
  Speaker 3: so that was a treat. Why what happened? I know
• 2:17
  Speaker 3: what happened. They don't crush. I think it was sixty
• 2:21
  Speaker 3: sixty three million. I think it was scored twenty or something.
• 2:25
  Speaker 4: Yeah, pretty close.
• 2:26
  Speaker 5: So it's not that close, not in that game.
• 2:29
  Speaker 1: How unbelievable is that team?
• 2:32
  Speaker 4: Indiana?
• 2:32
  Speaker 1: Yeah?
• 2:33
  Speaker 4: Good, they're real good.
• 2:34
  Speaker 5: Yeah.
• 2:34
  Speaker 3: You're not gonna be able to You're not gonna be
• 2:35
  Speaker 3: able to shoot yourself in the foot a few times
• 2:37
  Speaker 3: and expect it to be close.
• 2:38
  Speaker 1: I mean it is one thing I realized that everybody's league.
• 2:42
  Speaker 1: I mean, the story itself, to come out of nowhere,
• 2:45
  Speaker 1: and and to turn it around in two years and
• 2:48
  Speaker 1: to take that next jump forward the next year when
• 2:51
  Speaker 1: I think if some people kind of fought after Notre
• 2:53
  Speaker 1: Dame toyed with him in the postseason two seasons ago,
• 2:57
  Speaker 1: that maybe it was a little bit flukish. And then
• 3:00
  Speaker 1: to add to it to become better. Uh, and not
• 3:04
  Speaker 1: only to become better, I mean there's no beating that team.
• 3:07
  Speaker 1: Nobody can beat that team. Nobody can come within twenty
• 3:10
  Speaker 1: points of the healthy Miami is not beating that team
• 3:13
  Speaker 1: one week from now. I mean it is unreal. I
• 3:16
  Speaker 1: mean to go from a doormat of college football to
• 3:20
  Speaker 1: a team that is pretty much invincible. I mean it's
• 3:23
  Speaker 1: unlikable and very likable, well for now, until they win
• 3:27
  Speaker 1: five straight national championships and everybody hates them the first one.
• 3:31
  Speaker 4: They're liable.
• 3:32
  Speaker 3: Yeah, they're more likable than Miami, but that I only
• 3:35
  Speaker 3: have one reason I like Miami, So we'll move on
• 3:38
  Speaker 3: past that.
• 3:39
  Speaker 1: They're good.
• 3:39
  Speaker 3: They are good, I mean they Mendoza is about as
• 3:42
  Speaker 3: accurate as you can ask for a college quarterback. And
• 3:45
  Speaker 3: then they're coached unbelievably. They just flat out they they're
• 3:48
  Speaker 3: where they're supposed to be. They don't make mistakes. They
• 3:52
  Speaker 3: made a few mistakes. I mean, you know, Fernando was
• 3:55
  Speaker 3: scrambling one of his twelve times that he ran for
• 3:58
  Speaker 3: first downs and fumbled it. There was a couple different
• 4:01
  Speaker 3: times where they kind of coughed it up, but I
• 4:03
  Speaker 3: think they've lost one fumble the entire season. So it's
• 4:06
  Speaker 3: like even when they do cough it up, they get
• 4:08
  Speaker 3: back on it. There They're a team that you're gonna
• 4:11
  Speaker 3: have to hope they play unlike how they normally do,
• 4:15
  Speaker 3: which they just execute and they just keep getting better. Yeah,
• 4:18
  Speaker 3: if they don't play like if they play like they play,
• 4:20
  Speaker 3: nobody's beating them.
• 4:21
  Speaker 5: Yeah.
• 4:22
  Speaker 3: If they make some mistakes and you play an a game,
• 4:25
  Speaker 3: maybe not don't have to play a plus, but you
• 4:27
  Speaker 3: got to play close to damn close to perfect and
• 4:30
  Speaker 3: hope that they screw up a little bitter, you're not
• 4:31
  Speaker 3: gonna win.
• 4:32
  Speaker 1: I don't think anybody's beating I don't think Miami's beating
• 4:34
  Speaker 1: the matter. I think Miami's I think Miami's terrific. Yeah,
• 4:36
  Speaker 1: they're very good, very good team. And earned their right
• 4:40
  Speaker 1: to the National Championship game. But man, they just throttled
• 4:44
  Speaker 1: Ohio State in the Big Ten championship game. They're like, well,
• 4:46
  Speaker 1: they can't play better than that, well until they played Alabama, right,
• 4:50
  Speaker 1: and then they can't play better than that, well until
• 4:52
  Speaker 1: they played Oregon for a second time and massacred them
• 4:56
  Speaker 1: even more than the first time that they played them.
• 4:58
  Speaker 1: I mean, it's unreal what they've done. And they just
• 5:01
  Speaker 1: keep getting better under Kurt Signetti. So we're a week
• 5:05
  Speaker 1: away from that national championship game the Seahawks will actually
• 5:09
  Speaker 1: play before we play another college football game.
• 5:11
  Speaker 4: Yeah, that which I kind of.
• 5:13
  Speaker 6: I had a moment last night of like, oh no,
• 5:14
  Speaker 6: the national championship games tomorrow, five irons, Like no, they
• 5:18
  Speaker 6: just played. I was like, oh my god, that was
• 5:20
  Speaker 6: just Thursday and Friday. It seems so long ago.
• 5:23
  Speaker 1: Yeah, a quick little turnaround. Yeah, I can't wait till
• 5:26
  Speaker 1: the National Championship game tomorrow. Well, we now know that
• 5:30
  Speaker 1: the Seahawks will take on the San Francisco forty nine ers.
• 5:35
  Speaker 1: That will be their first playoff game of this year.
• 5:38
  Speaker 1: We also know that the game will be played Saturday.
• 5:42
  Speaker 1: Well we don't know is what time the game will
• 5:44
  Speaker 1: be played on Saturday. That has not yet been determined.
• 5:48
  Speaker 1: I don't see how Houston and Pittsburgh affect that, but
• 5:53
  Speaker 1: apparently they're gonna wait until tonight to make the announcement
• 5:56
  Speaker 1: as to what time the Seahawks will be playing on
• 6:01
  Speaker 1: Saturday against the San Francisco forty nine ers, who defeated
• 6:04
  Speaker 1: the Philadelphia Eagles yesterday on a weekend of just I
• 6:07
  Speaker 1: mean terrific playoff football. I mean, we spent a large
• 6:12
  Speaker 1: percentage of our season this year talking about how evenly
• 6:17
  Speaker 1: matched this year seems to be, that there might not
• 6:21
  Speaker 1: be a great team out there. I think the Seahawks
• 6:27
  Speaker 1: did reach that by season's end. I think the Rams
• 6:30
  Speaker 1: have touched upon that at times. And yet it's been
• 6:35
  Speaker 1: one of those years where you know, the playoffs get announced,
• 6:38
  Speaker 1: to see the matchups, and you can't figure out who
• 6:42
  Speaker 1: you even favor to go all the way to the
• 6:45
  Speaker 1: Super Bowl. And yesterday and the day before lived up
• 6:49
  Speaker 1: to that. I think I heard there were fourteen fourth
• 6:52
  Speaker 1: quarter lead changes over the weekend. I mean, that's how
• 6:55
  Speaker 1: evenly fought that this thing was. There wasn't even a
• 6:59
  Speaker 1: more than one unscore lead I think by any team
• 7:02
  Speaker 1: until the Patriots last night against the against the Chargers,
• 7:07
  Speaker 1: they sort of manhandled Justin Herbert and the Chargers last night.
• 7:11
  Speaker 1: By the rest of the weekend, I mean, was pretty
• 7:13
  Speaker 1: much a coin toss. It just shows you how evenly
• 7:16
  Speaker 1: match these teams seem to be this year.
• 7:18
  Speaker 3: Yeah, there's there was that was good football all the
• 7:21
  Speaker 3: way around as far as the competitiveness of it, and
• 7:24
  Speaker 3: it did feel like there was some hard fought battles
• 7:27
  Speaker 3: that then you just kind of at the end it's like, Okay,
• 7:30
  Speaker 3: who's who's going to step up? And typically it will
• 7:33
  Speaker 3: be which quarterback's going to step up? And you know,
• 7:36
  Speaker 3: until that last game, it was it was more that
• 7:38
  Speaker 3: it wasn't that Herbert didn't as much as it was
• 7:41
  Speaker 3: that the Patriots it's like, we're just gonna come smash
• 7:43
  Speaker 3: you now it's smash time, and they just basically made
• 7:46
  Speaker 3: it impossible.
• 7:47
  Speaker 5: For him to do anything.
• 7:48
  Speaker 3: But yeah, all the way around, and the storylines are
• 7:51
  Speaker 3: are pretty cool. I mean, the way the Panthers battled
• 7:54
  Speaker 3: the Rams was that was a great game.
• 7:57
  Speaker 1: The only game I got right this weekend, and it's
• 8:00
  Speaker 1: the game I was most wrong about. Yeah, that makes
• 8:03
  Speaker 1: sense be a blowout. I kind of felt the rest
• 8:06
  Speaker 1: of the games were going to be tight, and yeah, okay,
• 8:08
  Speaker 1: I came out on the losing end of it, but
• 8:10
  Speaker 1: I was sure that was going to be a blowout,
• 8:12
  Speaker 1: and here the Panthers have a shot to win in
• 8:14
  Speaker 1: the fourth quarter. For goodness sake.
• 8:15
  Speaker 3: They matched up well against I mean, and the Rams
• 8:18
  Speaker 3: didn't play great. Stafford wasn't great there. It was like
• 8:22
  Speaker 3: he looked like he was going to be and then
• 8:23
  Speaker 3: he didn't. He hasn't been. There's been a few games
• 8:26
  Speaker 3: down the stretch, even you know the game against the
• 8:28
  Speaker 3: Seahawks where it was like he looked unstoppable at one
• 8:31
  Speaker 3: point in time and then all of a sudden couldn't
• 8:33
  Speaker 3: do anything right. I mean, he was unbelievable at first,
• 8:35
  Speaker 3: and then he went zero for seven or eight or
• 8:37
  Speaker 3: nine in a row, which is just unlike uncharacteristic of him.
• 8:41
  Speaker 3: But the Panthers seemed to match up well against them.
• 8:44
  Speaker 3: I mean, they just kind of went out there and
• 8:46
  Speaker 3: did what they needed to do to make it a game.
• 8:48
  Speaker 3: But ultimately the Rams just had a little bit too
• 8:51
  Speaker 3: much there at the end. But yeah, there's just it
• 8:53
  Speaker 3: just felt like one game after another just kept giving
• 8:56
  Speaker 3: you a different storyline or a different reason, a different team.
• 8:59
  Speaker 3: The Bears whole thing against the Packers, that whole I mean,
• 9:02
  Speaker 3: Jordan Love went out and balled out, but they just
• 9:05
  Speaker 3: kind of didn't do enough at the end, got a
• 9:07
  Speaker 3: little bit conservative, and the Bears said, okay, well, if
• 9:09
  Speaker 3: you're gonna let us back in, or Mat.
• 9:11
  Speaker 1: Or Matt Leaf in other words, I think what you're
• 9:13
  Speaker 1: trying to say is Matt Lafleur completely blew it. I mean,
• 9:16
  Speaker 1: that was some of the worst clock management in the
• 9:21
  Speaker 1: history of football right there.
• 9:22
  Speaker 4: It was an ideal.
• 9:23
  Speaker 1: Oh my gosh, they ran had.
• 9:26
  Speaker 4: An extension with them apparently.
• 9:27
  Speaker 1: Now they ran an eight play forty three yard drive
• 9:33
  Speaker 1: at the end of the fourth quarter, you know, midway
• 9:38
  Speaker 1: to the fourth eight plays forty three yards. The Bears
• 9:44
  Speaker 1: used one of their timeouts, and they chewed up one
• 9:49
  Speaker 1: minute and twenty seven seconds. I mean, you have to
• 9:53
  Speaker 1: be trying not to win, Yeah, when you only chew
• 9:56
  Speaker 1: up a minute and you ran eight plays trying to
• 10:00
  Speaker 1: like milk with a lead and you chewed up less
• 10:03
  Speaker 1: than a minute, and.
• 10:04
  Speaker 6: I mean, yeah, you've got a play clock that you
• 10:06
  Speaker 6: can I mean, that's just just let that run.
• 10:08
  Speaker 1: I mean, did you intentionally want to lose that game.
• 10:12
  Speaker 1: I mean, that's how it felt with Matt Lafleur and
• 10:15
  Speaker 1: the Packers. But we'll go through some of that with
• 10:17
  Speaker 1: Cold Turkey Sandwich coming up here at six thirty. But
• 10:20
  Speaker 1: Seahawks forty nine Ers, that is the matchup, of course
• 10:23
  Speaker 1: for Mike McDonald. He's got to face the same team
• 10:26
  Speaker 1: two weeks in a row. The last time these two
• 10:29
  Speaker 1: teams played, the Seahawks they won by ten. It felt
• 10:33
  Speaker 1: like they sort of dominated that football game. But Kyle
• 10:37
  Speaker 1: Shanahan and his team of resolve, and you've got to
• 10:40
  Speaker 1: give him credit for that. Man they are they battle
• 10:43
  Speaker 1: those San Francisco forty nine Ers, they bounce back against
• 10:47
  Speaker 1: the defending world champs, the Philadelphia Eagles on the road,
• 10:51
  Speaker 1: and they end up winning that football game. Lost another
• 10:55
  Speaker 1: star player to an injury and George Kittle who will
• 10:57
  Speaker 1: be out for the rest of the postseason, but nonetheless,
• 11:01
  Speaker 1: the San Francisco forty nine Ers somehow found a way
• 11:05
  Speaker 1: to pull it off yesterday. And so that's the matchup
• 11:08
  Speaker 1: this Saturday, Seahawks versus the forty nine Ers. We're gonna
• 11:12
  Speaker 1: do it again. These two teams have split, just like
• 11:16
  Speaker 1: the Rams and the Seahawks have split. It's turned into
• 11:19
  Speaker 1: the NFC West Invitational here the NFC Conference Final four.
• 11:24
  Speaker 3: Yeah, and it'll be interesting to see. I mean, I
• 11:27
  Speaker 3: saw Mike McDonald on an interview after, like on TV
• 11:31
  Speaker 3: after the playoffs were done, or I think it was
• 11:34
  Speaker 3: before the Chargers Patriots game, but they he looked pretty
• 11:38
  Speaker 3: he looked very comfortable. Now, I don't know for sure
• 11:40
  Speaker 3: if it was overconfident or like, yeah, we get the
• 11:42
  Speaker 3: Niners again. But you have to feel good if you're
• 11:44
  Speaker 3: a Seahawks fan or a Seahawk knowing that the last
• 11:47
  Speaker 3: time you stepped on a football field it was against them,
• 11:50
  Speaker 3: and you put it on them. And the way in
• 11:52
  Speaker 3: which they won the Week one matchup was I wouldn't
• 11:56
  Speaker 3: say fluky.
• 11:56
  Speaker 1: But it was.
• 11:57
  Speaker 3: There's a bad play there towards the end that that,
• 12:00
  Speaker 3: and I throws the ball up. I saw another replay
• 12:02
  Speaker 3: of that yesterday, and it's like, how brock perty even
• 12:04
  Speaker 3: thinks about throwing that ball.
• 12:06
  Speaker 5: I have no idea.
• 12:07
  Speaker 3: A guy wouldn't even open and and Reek is just
• 12:11
  Speaker 3: sitting there waiting for it, and the tight end just
• 12:14
  Speaker 3: jumped right up in front of it. So it feels like,
• 12:17
  Speaker 3: you know, you get the matchup that you probably would
• 12:19
  Speaker 3: have wanted if it wasn't the Panthers. I guess that
• 12:21
  Speaker 3: would have been what we thought coming into it, and
• 12:23
  Speaker 3: still maybe the way in which you played them. But
• 12:26
  Speaker 3: really it's kind of one of those all right, bring
• 12:28
  Speaker 3: on all comers. At least that's what That's what I'm
• 12:31
  Speaker 3: sure that the Seahawks are thinking.
• 12:32
  Speaker 1: I think that's a good way that you put it.
• 12:34
  Speaker 1: I mean, it's the matchup that you think you want.
• 12:36
  Speaker 1: I mean, of course, nothing carries over from that last game.
• 12:41
  Speaker 1: We're not going to be spotted ten points that would
• 12:44
  Speaker 1: be awesome, man three points or anything like that.
• 12:46
  Speaker 4: Certain things we could adopt from soccer and I'd be
• 12:48
  Speaker 4: fine with it.
• 12:49
  Speaker 1: We don't know, you know, you don't know what kind
• 12:52
  Speaker 1: of I mean, Trent Williams will be playing, I'm assuming
• 12:55
  Speaker 1: in this game where he didn't play in the last game.
• 12:57
  Speaker 1: Of course, George Kittle won't be playing in this game
• 13:00
  Speaker 1: where he did the last game. You don't know what
• 13:02
  Speaker 1: kind of tone gets set early. But you know, just
• 13:06
  Speaker 1: on and you don't you never know. You never This
• 13:08
  Speaker 1: is sports. That is why it's so wonderful. That's why
• 13:11
  Speaker 1: you know, we love it. Or you should love it
• 13:13
  Speaker 1: is just the unexpected. Uh you know which team you
• 13:17
  Speaker 1: know has three guys with the flu? Knock on wood
• 13:20
  Speaker 1: or you know, stuff like that. You never know what's
• 13:22
  Speaker 1: gonna happen when you show up at the ballpark that day.
• 13:26
  Speaker 1: But in terms of just man, we just played this team.
• 13:31
  Speaker 1: We just throttled this team. I really can't imagine that
• 13:35
  Speaker 1: they're going to come up with any answers for Mike
• 13:39
  Speaker 1: McDonald's defense. Since last they played, you've got home field advantage,
• 13:45
  Speaker 1: they didn't get to rest, they got beat up even
• 13:48
  Speaker 1: more this weekend, and they're actually going to be on
• 13:52
  Speaker 1: short rest, which I do think is a fair gripe
• 13:57
  Speaker 1: from the San Francisco forty nine Ers fans. The why
• 14:01
  Speaker 1: are we playing on Saturday when both the Bears and
• 14:05
  Speaker 1: the Rams played on Saturday and could get a full
• 14:08
  Speaker 1: week's rest. Why do we when we played on Sunday,
• 14:11
  Speaker 1: have to only get Why do we get a less
• 14:14
  Speaker 1: the rest? We're in the playoffs, are we not? I
• 14:17
  Speaker 1: think it's a legitimate gripe. Now the National Football League
• 14:22
  Speaker 1: has decided that they want to give that one seed
• 14:25
  Speaker 1: every advantage in the world, and it's not for the Seahawks,
• 14:29
  Speaker 1: and it's not for the Broncos. It's really keeping in
• 14:32
  Speaker 1: mind if we ever have that team that's sixteen in
• 14:35
  Speaker 1: one that people can't get enough of, that dominated the
• 14:38
  Speaker 1: regular season, we want to make sure they get to
• 14:40
  Speaker 1: the super Bowl and give them every chance they can
• 14:42
  Speaker 1: to get there. So they've made a conscious decision the
• 14:45
  Speaker 1: league recently to make sure that the number one seed
• 14:49
  Speaker 1: gets every possible advantage to get to the super Bowl
• 14:52
  Speaker 1: that we can give them within the rules construct of
• 14:56
  Speaker 1: our rules. And so this was something determined years ago
• 15:00
  Speaker 1: people in a board room, and not overnight to screw
• 15:03
  Speaker 1: over the forty nine ers fans, but I do get
• 15:05
  Speaker 1: where they're coming from. You're gonna give us a day's
• 15:09
  Speaker 1: less rest, and you're gonna give the Bears and the
• 15:14
  Speaker 1: forty excuse me, the Bears and the Rams an extra day.
• 15:17
  Speaker 1: It doesn't really make sense when the Seahawks are sitting
• 15:20
  Speaker 1: there with a full week's rest. There's no reason why
• 15:23
  Speaker 1: we shouldn't be playing on Sunday. And the only reason
• 15:25
  Speaker 1: that you're not is because the NFL made these rules
• 15:29
  Speaker 1: months ago.
• 15:29
  Speaker 6: Y yes, Greg said it was like since twenty nineteen
• 15:32
  Speaker 6: they had the number one seeds play on Saturday.
• 15:35
  Speaker 4: So there you go.
• 15:35
  Speaker 6: Yes, I can, I can understand the yes, the oh
• 15:39
  Speaker 6: that's not fair. And Shanahan afterwards was like if the
• 15:42
  Speaker 6: NFL wants to be considerate or whatever he said, and
• 15:46
  Speaker 6: people were like, well, clearly they don't want to be considerate. Well,
• 15:49
  Speaker 6: you know what earn the number one seed?
• 15:51
  Speaker 1: Yeah, exactly. Yeah, and you can't change the rules. You
• 15:54
  Speaker 1: can't just because it looks odd. But I'm not sure
• 15:57
  Speaker 1: that rule should be in place. I think that in
• 16:00
  Speaker 1: the playoffs, you know, you've already got one team that's
• 16:03
  Speaker 1: gonna have two full weeks. You probably should have left
• 16:06
  Speaker 1: a little bit of a door open to protect against
• 16:10
  Speaker 1: something like this. But whatever, we'll take the advantage.
• 16:12
  Speaker 6: Well yeah, and selfishly, selfishly, I want the game on
• 16:15
  Speaker 6: Saturday because it's just more enjoyable when you get to
• 16:17
  Speaker 6: just make the day of it and have it that
• 16:19
  Speaker 6: and not worry, you know, if it's a Sunday night game.
• 16:22
  Speaker 6: Oh I don't, you know, now I got to go
• 16:24
  Speaker 6: to bed, and I don't. I just want it to
• 16:26
  Speaker 6: be fun.
• 16:26
  Speaker 1: Bills are gonna have to do the same thing, yeah themselves,
• 16:29
  Speaker 1: of course, you know, it's the Texans have to play
• 16:32
  Speaker 1: tonight or the Steelers have to play tonight, So it
• 16:35
  Speaker 1: would really, really, it'd be criminal if you made them
• 16:38
  Speaker 1: turn around and play on Saturday. Then they're deprived two
• 16:42
  Speaker 1: days of preparation. It's like a Thursday night game. And
• 16:45
  Speaker 1: I don't that's that's outlandish, but that's that's what the
• 16:48
  Speaker 1: rules have set up in advance in the National Football League.
• 16:52
  Speaker 1: So it is what it is. I mean, it's not
• 16:54
  Speaker 1: like you've only got three days and you got to
• 16:56
  Speaker 1: turn it around. You have almost a full week, so stop.
• 17:00
  Speaker 5: Yeah.
• 17:00
  Speaker 3: Well, I mean that's the downside of that of not
• 17:04
  Speaker 3: coming out on top for the Niners in that big
• 17:06
  Speaker 3: pivotal I mean, the swing between getting a buy getting
• 17:10
  Speaker 3: home field throughout, or being the sixth seed where they
• 17:14
  Speaker 3: wound up. Well, good job you advance past the you know,
• 17:18
  Speaker 3: somewhat rudderless Eagles and their kind of offense that just
• 17:22
  Speaker 3: could not find a way to get going. Very resilient win,
• 17:25
  Speaker 3: but yeah, you earned the sixth seed over of course
• 17:27
  Speaker 3: the full season, and so it's the deck is stacked
• 17:31
  Speaker 3: against you to get through the playoffs. That's for every
• 17:33
  Speaker 3: team that didn't get the buye in the first round.
• 17:36
  Speaker 3: It's like, yeah, there is another team. There's one team
• 17:39
  Speaker 3: in each in each conference that gets all of the perks,
• 17:43
  Speaker 3: and I think they giving them as many as possible.
• 17:45
  Speaker 3: I mean, I think that all these wildcard games should
• 17:47
  Speaker 3: have been played on Friday and then the next round
• 17:50
  Speaker 3: the next day. I'm kidding, there's no rest. Fly straight
• 17:55
  Speaker 3: to Seattle from Philadelphia and play the next day. That'd
• 17:57
  Speaker 3: be great.
• 17:58
  Speaker 1: Yeah, well, I'm not worry about Saturday or Sunday San Francisco.
• 18:03
  Speaker 1: I'd worry about Mike McDonald and his defense. Yeah, because
• 18:06
  Speaker 1: you didn't fare too well against them the last time. Woh,
• 18:09
  Speaker 1: that was kind of funny.
• 18:11
  Speaker 4: I did giggle.
• 18:12
  Speaker 1: It was hilarious. One of the funniest things I've ever said.
• 18:16
  Speaker 4: One of the funniest ever.
• 18:18
  Speaker 1: All right, let's find out what's on tap for today's show.
• 18:23
  Speaker 2: What's on te what's on TEP?
• 18:26
  Speaker 1: All right, Seahawks, We'll ow San Francisco on Saturday in
• 18:29
  Speaker 1: the divisional round of the playoffs. Again. The time will
• 18:32
  Speaker 1: be determined. We will discuss this with our experts. It
• 18:36
  Speaker 1: is a Monday morning quarterback session today here on Chuck
• 18:39
  Speaker 1: and Buck. Greg Bell will be with us at seven
• 18:41
  Speaker 1: oh five. Hugh Mellon starting at eight o'clock and Mike
• 18:45
  Speaker 1: Homeran starting at nine o'clock. Of course, r QV one
• 18:48
  Speaker 1: Hugh Millan will be with us from eight to ten,
• 18:51
  Speaker 1: and most of the conversation, I'm sure we'll be around
• 18:55
  Speaker 1: the matchup with the San Francisco forty nine ers and
• 18:58
  Speaker 1: knowing our opponent and what that means, So that will
• 19:02
  Speaker 1: be the primary focus of today's conversation, but we'll still
• 19:05
  Speaker 1: talk about some other things as well. The Denver Broncos
• 19:08
  Speaker 1: will host Buffalo on Saturday. We'll go over hol Buffalo
• 19:13
  Speaker 1: and everyone else advanced over the weekend, and case you
• 19:17
  Speaker 1: missed it, I guess with cold Turkey Sandwich, which is
• 19:19
  Speaker 1: coming up at six point thirty, a board of scores.
• 19:23
  Speaker 1: Sunday it'll be the Rams and the Bears again, we
• 19:26
  Speaker 1: don't know the times of these, and then New England
• 19:29
  Speaker 1: will be hosting either the Texans or Steelers, who are
• 19:32
  Speaker 1: going to play tonight, so one more Wild Card round game.
• 19:36
  Speaker 1: It'll be in Pittsburgh this evening, the Texans taking on
• 19:39
  Speaker 1: the Steelers. George Kittle tore his achilles and he is
• 19:43
  Speaker 1: out for the playoffs and probably next season. A lot
• 19:47
  Speaker 1: of next season as well. We shall see about that
• 19:51
  Speaker 1: Matt Lafleur. According to Adam Schefter this morning, it looks
• 19:55
  Speaker 1: like they are trying to work out a deal to
• 19:57
  Speaker 1: keep him. That is surprising to me because there was
• 20:00
  Speaker 1: already some smoke that Green Bay had soured a little
• 20:04
  Speaker 1: bit on Matt Lafloor. And then after Saturday, I would
• 20:10
  Speaker 1: have thought, even if he was, you know, even if
• 20:13
  Speaker 1: he was in the best position possible, I would have
• 20:15
  Speaker 1: considered firing him after that game. And so we'll see.
• 20:19
  Speaker 1: But looks like Matt Lafleur might be staying in Green
• 20:23
  Speaker 1: Bay after all. And aj Brown after the game yesterday,
• 20:28
  Speaker 1: Nick Sirianni talked glowingly about his wide receiver even though
• 20:32
  Speaker 1: they had a spat on the sidelines, and he played
• 20:34
  Speaker 1: just an awful game for the Eagles yesterday. But we
• 20:39
  Speaker 1: shall see. Almost everybody seems to have arrived at the
• 20:42
  Speaker 1: conclusion that he will be gone from the Philadelphia Eagles
• 20:44
  Speaker 1: at some point this offseason. The National Championship Game in
• 20:48
  Speaker 1: college football will be a week from today and it
• 20:51
  Speaker 1: will be Indiana versus Miami College basketball, you doub eighty
• 20:55
  Speaker 1: one seventy four winners over Ohio State. Some are calling
• 20:58
  Speaker 1: it Danny Sprinkle's best win since becoming head coach of
• 21:01
  Speaker 1: the Huskies basketball program. Will there's no chance to celebrate,
• 21:07
  Speaker 1: no time, because you've got a really big week this week.
• 21:10
  Speaker 1: Michigan on Wednesday, one of the best teams in the country,
• 21:14
  Speaker 1: and Michigan State on Saturday are coming to town, one
• 21:17
  Speaker 1: of the best programs in the country. So it's going
• 21:20
  Speaker 1: to be a difficult week for the Huskies. Hey man,
• 21:23
  Speaker 1: when one of those two games and you've had a
• 21:25
  Speaker 1: hell of a week taking two out of three from
• 21:27
  Speaker 1: those three Big Ten opponents, Krake and have now lost
• 21:30
  Speaker 1: two straight games. They are going to play tonight at
• 21:33
  Speaker 1: four o'clock against the New York Rangers. And Alex Bregman
• 21:38
  Speaker 1: signed over the weekend with the Chicago Cubs to kind
• 21:41
  Speaker 1: of unclog the stove, but nothing else has happened since,
• 21:46
  Speaker 1: including for the Mariners. If you do want to check
• 21:48
  Speaker 1: out the latest Stove podcast, it is available on our
• 21:51
  Speaker 1: website ninety three to three khr dot com. With myself
• 21:55
  Speaker 1: and anders Hurst coming up next though, we'll go through
• 21:58
  Speaker 1: the weekend games and the National Football League. It's time
• 22:01
  Speaker 1: for a cold turkey sandwich. A board of scores right
• 22:04
  Speaker 1: here on Chucking Buck Sports Radio ninety three point three KJRFM.
• 22:10
  Speaker 1: Love gets the shutdown staff. He dropped it back to pass.
• 22:13
  Speaker 7: Love in trouble, spins out to his left, no time
• 22:16
  Speaker 7: of the plot brewing right steps up, Love looking still looking.
• 22:20
  Speaker 7: He's gonna throw it up to the inside, intercepting Don's drop.
• 22:24
  Speaker 1: It doesn't matter. The game is over.
• 22:27
  Speaker 7: Ben's all over the Chicago Bears from the first time
• 22:31
  Speaker 7: since two thousand, tens have won a playoff game. The
• 22:36
  Speaker 7: drought is over in the Lindy City Bears thirty one,
• 22:41
  Speaker 7: Packers twenty seven, and the Bears will host the divisional
• 22:45
  Speaker 7: round next week. The Chicago Bears doubts twenty one three
• 22:50
  Speaker 7: at half time.
• 22:52
  Speaker 1: Rally back and win it.
• 22:54
  Speaker 7: The Bears will play on the Packers are done.
• 22:59
  Speaker 1: One of those moments. I was at the pub on
• 23:01
  Speaker 1: Saturday watching the games. Nice and when they intercepted Williams.
• 23:06
  Speaker 1: When the Packers intercepted Williams when they were driving and
• 23:09
  Speaker 1: they intercepted him near the goal line, that's it. Cash
• 23:13
  Speaker 1: me out. This one's over. Oh, it wasn't over.
• 23:16
  Speaker 4: It was not over.
• 23:17
  Speaker 1: Turns out it wasn't over. I didn't watch it at home.
• 23:20
  Speaker 1: But it's not like I didn't see the comeback, but craziness.
• 23:24
  Speaker 1: Craziness and the NFL playoff weekend, the wildcard weekend was
• 23:29
  Speaker 1: certainly on the edge of your seat kind of stuff.
• 23:32
  Speaker 1: Every game close felt like one bounce goes one way
• 23:37
  Speaker 1: and it could change the entire scope of every single game.
• 23:41
  Speaker 1: So let's run through it. It's time for cold turkey sandwich,
• 23:44
  Speaker 1: a board of scores right here on Chuck and Buck
• 23:46
  Speaker 1: in the mornings, and we'll do it chronologically. We'll start
• 23:48
  Speaker 1: with the Los Angeles Rams. They got the weekend started
• 23:51
  Speaker 1: Saturday afternoon. The Carolina Panthers, at one point, and I
• 23:56
  Speaker 1: mean late in the game, led this game. Two thirty
• 23:59
  Speaker 1: nine left in the fourth quarter. They took the lead
• 24:02
  Speaker 1: over the Los Angeles Rams. This is one of the
• 24:04
  Speaker 1: biggest point spreads in the history of the NFL playoffs.
• 24:08
  Speaker 1: And the Rams were actually trailing thirty one to twenty
• 24:11
  Speaker 1: seven with two and a half minutes left in regulation play,
• 24:16
  Speaker 1: so they needed a touchdown and they marched down the
• 24:19
  Speaker 1: field and got one. Colby Parkinson, former Seahawk, with the
• 24:23
  Speaker 1: game winning touchdown catch in the right corner front corner
• 24:27
  Speaker 1: of the end zone. Matt Stafford three touchdown passes in
• 24:31
  Speaker 1: the game, not his best game, but he also played
• 24:33
  Speaker 1: with an injured finger. It felt like every single quarterback
• 24:36
  Speaker 1: in the National Football League just got the hell beat
• 24:38
  Speaker 1: out of the missic this weekend.
• 24:40
  Speaker 5: Yeah.
• 24:40
  Speaker 3: Well, I mean everybody knows that's a recipe for disaster.
• 24:44
  Speaker 3: If you can just get after the guys start hitting
• 24:46
  Speaker 3: him a little bit and making him feel uncomfortable back there.
• 24:49
  Speaker 1: He just did enough.
• 24:50
  Speaker 3: I mean, that's it was an MVP caliber Maybe not
• 24:53
  Speaker 3: the entire game, but the end of the game. Carolina
• 24:56
  Speaker 3: Panthers came to fight and ended up having that lead.
• 24:58
  Speaker 3: Like you said, he just says, okay, okay, well I'll
• 25:00
  Speaker 3: go ahead and drive down. It did feel like to
• 25:02
  Speaker 3: me anyways, watching it kind of felt like, uh oh,
• 25:05
  Speaker 3: I mean, that's way too much time to leave the
• 25:08
  Speaker 3: Rams and they went down there and did what they
• 25:09
  Speaker 3: needed to do.
• 25:10
  Speaker 1: Yeah, so it's the Rams that move on in that one,
• 25:14
  Speaker 1: and they are going to take on the Chicago Bears
• 25:18
  Speaker 1: on Sunday, because the Bears came back and won thirty
• 25:21
  Speaker 1: one to twenty seven over the Green Bay Packers. The
• 25:24
  Speaker 1: Packers had a twenty one to three lead in this
• 25:27
  Speaker 1: game and blew it. They gave up twenty five of
• 25:30
  Speaker 1: the Bears thirty one points in the fourth quarter alone.
• 25:36
  Speaker 1: It looked like Jordan Love and the Packers had it
• 25:38
  Speaker 1: on cruise control instead. Caleb Williams and I guess this
• 25:42
  Speaker 1: is his recipe for winning, and that is to not
• 25:45
  Speaker 1: play well for three quarters and then be otherworldly in
• 25:49
  Speaker 1: the fourth. Because the Bears have won a lot of
• 25:51
  Speaker 1: games this way this year.
• 25:53
  Speaker 4: He's got to have the pout first though.
• 25:54
  Speaker 6: You got to not play well, you got to get
• 25:56
  Speaker 6: really poudy and grumpy, and then you come back.
• 26:00
  Speaker 5: Yeah.
• 26:00
  Speaker 1: Wow, Yeah, it's a secret. Goes all the way back
• 26:03
  Speaker 1: to Lombardi.
• 26:03
  Speaker 6: Yes, yes, yes, yeah, and not everybody can pull that off.
• 26:06
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 26:07
  Speaker 1: He used to tell Bart Starr, you're just not pouty
• 26:10
  Speaker 1: enough in the second and third quarter. If you could
• 26:12
  Speaker 1: improve your pout, we could really rally around you in
• 26:15
  Speaker 1: the fourth.
• 26:16
  Speaker 5: Makes a lot of sense.
• 26:17
  Speaker 3: I try to teach my kids that as much as possible,
• 26:20
  Speaker 3: good things will happen the more you pout.
• 26:22
  Speaker 1: I would imagine you love when your children pout, it
• 26:24
  Speaker 1: doesn't go over well.
• 26:25
  Speaker 6: They'll get real grumpy on the bench for a few minutes,
• 26:28
  Speaker 6: and then we're ready.
• 26:29
  Speaker 5: For poudy to the room. I don't want to look
• 26:32
  Speaker 5: at it.
• 26:32
  Speaker 1: Williams found Dj Moore in the down the left sideline
• 26:36
  Speaker 1: with a minute forty three left in the game to
• 26:39
  Speaker 1: give the Bears the thirty one twenty seven leave. That
• 26:42
  Speaker 1: place was going nuts there in Chicago. Green Bay did
• 26:47
  Speaker 1: get the ball back, they did march all the way
• 26:50
  Speaker 1: down to the Bears twenty eight yard line, but because
• 26:52
  Speaker 1: Brandon McManus was the world's worst kicker this weekend, the
• 26:57
  Speaker 1: Green Bay Packers had to score a touchdown in order
• 26:59
  Speaker 1: to win the game. Otherwise, if McManus makes one of
• 27:03
  Speaker 1: his two field goals or all of his extra points,
• 27:07
  Speaker 1: then the green Bay Packers have an opportunity to at
• 27:10
  Speaker 1: least tie that game with a field goal. But instead
• 27:14
  Speaker 1: they had to go for the touchdown, and they couldn't
• 27:16
  Speaker 1: come up with the secret sauce. So the Bears do
• 27:19
  Speaker 1: win thirty one to twenty seven.
• 27:20
  Speaker 3: Yeah, and I mean it's I think there was a
• 27:23
  Speaker 3: couple of moments there where because of the Packers letting
• 27:27
  Speaker 3: him back in. In large part it was because of
• 27:29
  Speaker 3: Brandon McManus. You can have him. He was the Bronco
• 27:32
  Speaker 3: kicker for a while and he just seemed to like
• 27:34
  Speaker 3: do the opposite of what you want, Like he'll make
• 27:36
  Speaker 3: all the big kicks or the long kicks. In the
• 27:40
  Speaker 3: Week three of the Redio season come down to crunch time,
• 27:43
  Speaker 3: game winner, we need just to make this little you know,
• 27:45
  Speaker 3: thirty nine yard chip shot. Nope, yankee doodle dandy and
• 27:49
  Speaker 3: pull across his body or something. It was as he's
• 27:52
  Speaker 3: really good at that, and yet they just kind of
• 27:54
  Speaker 3: left the door open and Ben Johnson dialed up a
• 27:58
  Speaker 3: couple of reallypressive plays to get them down there to win.
• 28:01
  Speaker 4: And Ben Johnson does not like the Packers.
• 28:03
  Speaker 1: Boy, they don't like each other, do they not at all?
• 28:06
  Speaker 1: And that was a really jerky move by him. Yeah, yeah,
• 28:09
  Speaker 1: the quick hand shake. And apparently did you hear that,
• 28:14
  Speaker 1: like the Lafloor brought out an assistant coach so that
• 28:17
  Speaker 1: Johnson wouldn't touch him on the back, because apparently that
• 28:20
  Speaker 1: happened in the first two so there was an assistant
• 28:23
  Speaker 1: coach standing by him because Lafleur wanted to block him
• 28:26
  Speaker 1: from touching him on the back. So there was two
• 28:30
  Speaker 1: both were being turned in the situation. But I mean,
• 28:33
  Speaker 1: come on, the playoff elimination, shake the man's hand, don't
• 28:36
  Speaker 1: touch him on the back and get off the field.
• 28:38
  Speaker 3: Yeah, I think, well, I think Lafleur might have like, well,
• 28:41
  Speaker 3: I've been you know, he's been in his division before
• 28:43
  Speaker 3: he was a head coach, and all of a sudden,
• 28:45
  Speaker 3: he's this new offensive guru right over and all of
• 28:49
  Speaker 3: a sudden, maybe he's like, well, not not on my watch.
• 28:51
  Speaker 3: Well he just made it on your watch, right in
• 28:54
  Speaker 3: front of your face. But yeah, that whole thing of
• 28:56
  Speaker 3: he didn't want him to slap him on the back
• 28:57
  Speaker 3: or hit him with his play calling sheet or clipboarders.
• 29:02
  Speaker 5: They shut up exactly.
• 29:04
  Speaker 4: Yeah, that's dumb.
• 29:05
  Speaker 1: Let's move to Sunday. Sunday morning. I think it was
• 29:08
  Speaker 1: the game everybody was most looking forward to, and it
• 29:11
  Speaker 1: was sensational. The Buffalo Bills do win over the Jacksonville
• 29:15
  Speaker 1: Jaguars twenty seven to twenty four. Jaguars fans put on
• 29:19
  Speaker 1: a great show. They were raucous the entire time. I
• 29:22
  Speaker 1: don't think the Jags played their best game. They've been
• 29:26
  Speaker 1: on a roll here at the tail end of the
• 29:28
  Speaker 1: regular season, and they still had a chance to win
• 29:31
  Speaker 1: the game. But Trevor Lawrence gets picked off on a
• 29:34
  Speaker 1: deflection on the potential game tying or possible game winning drive.
• 29:39
  Speaker 1: The Buffalo Bills then able to go to a knee
• 29:41
  Speaker 1: and win a twenty seven to twenty four. Josh Allen's
• 29:44
  Speaker 1: legend grew. He threw a touchdown pass, he ran for
• 29:48
  Speaker 1: two more. He had a tush push for ten yards.
• 29:51
  Speaker 1: They got him down to the one yard line. He
• 29:54
  Speaker 1: suffered This has never happened before. Josh Allen suffered every
• 29:58
  Speaker 1: single injury that a player can suffer in one game
• 30:03
  Speaker 1: and never missed a snap.
• 30:05
  Speaker 6: Yeah, when he went into the tent, I was like,
• 30:08
  Speaker 6: I don't know. Yeah, I was like for the first time,
• 30:10
  Speaker 6: I was like, oh, oh, yeah, And then I was like, wait,
• 30:13
  Speaker 6: I swear he went into the tent. Did I imagine
• 30:15
  Speaker 6: that he went into the tent he.
• 30:16
  Speaker 1: Had a concussion or the concussion scared Yeah, right hand.
• 30:20
  Speaker 1: He hit his hand on the helmet and so that
• 30:24
  Speaker 1: was bothering him. He got his knee like hyper extended,
• 30:28
  Speaker 1: and I thought that was really bad. At the goal
• 30:31
  Speaker 1: line in the third quarter. He suffered gout in the
• 30:35
  Speaker 1: second right at the late of the second quarter, dysent
• 30:39
  Speaker 1: terry early in the first people missed this carpal tunnel
• 30:43
  Speaker 1: and then he got tooth decake right there near the end. Yeah,
• 30:49
  Speaker 1: I know. They fought through it all, never even missed
• 30:51
  Speaker 1: a snap.
• 30:51
  Speaker 4: It's impressive.
• 30:52
  Speaker 5: They built him tough.
• 30:53
  Speaker 1: In Wyoming twenty seven, twenty four the Bills due advance.
• 30:58
  Speaker 1: Forty nine Ers, We've already discussed this. They won twenty
• 31:00
  Speaker 1: three to nineteen over the Philadelphia Eagles yesterday, which means
• 31:04
  Speaker 1: we now know the Seahawks opponent. It will be San
• 31:08
  Speaker 1: Francisco again. Philadelphia did a lot of good things yesterday,
• 31:14
  Speaker 1: but Aj Brown had like two drops and Gator armed
• 31:19
  Speaker 1: a couple balls, ended up in a sideline spat with
• 31:23
  Speaker 1: his head coach. And Philadelphia also had a chance to
• 31:26
  Speaker 1: win the game with a late drive and couldn't get
• 31:28
  Speaker 1: it done. San Francisco meanwhile, two touchdown passes from Brock
• 31:33
  Speaker 1: Purdy to Christian Actually Jawan Jennings had one of them,
• 31:37
  Speaker 1: didn't he. Juwan Jennings had a touchdown pass to Christian
• 31:39
  Speaker 1: McCaffrey and the forty nine Ers find a way to
• 31:42
  Speaker 1: win at twenty three nineteen.
• 31:44
  Speaker 3: Yeah, that was you know, Kyle Shanahan's got some tricks
• 31:47
  Speaker 3: up his sleeve that the first drive of that game
• 31:50
  Speaker 3: looked vintage San Francisco forty nine Ers. They drove down
• 31:55
  Speaker 3: the field. In part they had a big I don't
• 31:57
  Speaker 3: fifty or sixty yard catch on one of them. But
• 32:00
  Speaker 3: they just looked efficient and then they weren't deficient. And
• 32:04
  Speaker 3: the Philadelphia Eagles looked basically like they have majority of
• 32:07
  Speaker 3: the season, which is they have the playmakers, they have
• 32:10
  Speaker 3: the capability, their defense keeps them in ball games. They
• 32:12
  Speaker 3: just don't make the big play or the just the
• 32:16
  Speaker 3: average play. Like you said, Aj Brown had a couple
• 32:18
  Speaker 3: of big drops in that game, and you just can't
• 32:21
  Speaker 3: do that in the playoffs. If you end up doing it,
• 32:23
  Speaker 3: somebody will likely come up and take your lunch.
• 32:25
  Speaker 4: Yeah, be listening, We've got to be ready.
• 32:27
  Speaker 1: Lunch taken. Lunch was taken. Finally, Patriots won sixteen to
• 32:33
  Speaker 1: three over the Chargers. Man the physicality that we witnessed
• 32:37
  Speaker 1: in all of these games over the weekend, and this
• 32:40
  Speaker 1: one might have been the most physical game last night.
• 32:42
  Speaker 1: I mean, Drake may got beat up by the Chargers
• 32:45
  Speaker 1: defense a lot, but what happens to Justin Herbert on
• 32:49
  Speaker 1: a game by game basis is a horror show.
• 32:52
  Speaker 7: Yeah.
• 32:52
  Speaker 1: I can't even I don't even want to watch him
• 32:54
  Speaker 1: play anymore. I know he's down both at starting tackles
• 32:58
  Speaker 1: and everything else. I think there's a little bit of
• 33:02
  Speaker 1: him running into traffic sometimes and not ever protecting himself.
• 33:09
  Speaker 1: But it I mean it's like Texas Chainsaw massacre. I mean,
• 33:13
  Speaker 1: I'm sitting there covering my eyes, like watching through the
• 33:16
  Speaker 1: cracks in my fingers because I can't watch Justin Herbert
• 33:19
  Speaker 1: get beat up in another game ever again. So either
• 33:23
  Speaker 1: the Chargers need to fix it or stop putting them
• 33:25
  Speaker 1: on television because I'm sick of watching it.
• 33:28
  Speaker 3: He did get harassed a lot, but he's tough. I mean,
• 33:31
  Speaker 3: he's been playing with.
• 33:32
  Speaker 1: Tough that You've proven that, dude, But I don't know
• 33:35
  Speaker 1: if you've proven that you can avoid a pass rush
• 33:38
  Speaker 1: in seven years in the National Football League.
• 33:40
  Speaker 6: It definitely makes sense as to why they rested in
• 33:42
  Speaker 6: week eighteen.
• 33:44
  Speaker 1: He needed that. Oh gosh, I can't even imagine.
• 33:46
  Speaker 3: Yeah, he gets harassed. I mean, it is a lot
• 33:49
  Speaker 3: of it's on the offensive line. Obviously, there's a couple
• 33:52
  Speaker 3: of injuries, and then those that are in there just
• 33:54
  Speaker 3: are not playing well, and so he's kind of on
• 33:57
  Speaker 3: catch twenty two where you got to get rid of
• 33:59
  Speaker 3: it quick. The same time, you don't want a guy
• 34:01
  Speaker 3: with his athleticism to just give up on a play
• 34:03
  Speaker 3: and dirt it because the pockets collapsing around you.
• 34:06
  Speaker 5: But he just he's kind of running for his life.
• 34:08
  Speaker 1: I was watching it.
• 34:10
  Speaker 3: I don't cheer for a team because it's one of
• 34:12
  Speaker 3: those I don't want to cheer for the Chargers, and
• 34:14
  Speaker 3: then le Broncos end up playing him and then Herbert
• 34:16
  Speaker 3: has his biggest game of his life. But at the
• 34:19
  Speaker 3: same time, there's part of me there just kind of
• 34:21
  Speaker 3: cheering for him because of the fact that he was
• 34:23
  Speaker 3: being harassed so much.
• 34:24
  Speaker 1: Well it's every week though. I Mean, at one point,
• 34:27
  Speaker 1: I'm like, man, this guy's the toughest guy in the world.
• 34:30
  Speaker 1: I can't have a bullet, and now it's just like, dude,
• 34:34
  Speaker 1: stop getting the hell beat out of here.
• 34:35
  Speaker 4: You already proved it. We don't need to see more.
• 34:37
  Speaker 1: Yeah, all right, So here's your lineup for this weekend.
• 34:40
  Speaker 1: We don't know the times yet, but it will be
• 34:43
  Speaker 1: Buffalo at Denver, San Francisco at Seattle on Saturday, and
• 34:48
  Speaker 1: then the Sunday doubleheader will be the Rams at the Bears,
• 34:52
  Speaker 1: and then whoever wins tonight will be at New England
• 34:55
  Speaker 1: to take on the Patriots. So there you go, cold
• 34:57
  Speaker 1: Turkey sandwich aboard of scores here after the wild Card
• 35:01
  Speaker 1: round of the playoffs. Coming up next a visit from
• 35:04
  Speaker 1: Coach Bucky right here on Chuck and Buck Sports Radio
• 35:06
  Speaker 1: ninety three point three kJ A r f M. The
• 35:09
  Speaker 1: Divisional round this Saturday. These chumps that played this past weekend,
• 35:13
  Speaker 1: did they even know that they could have a buye?
• 35:15
  Speaker 1: Did they know that the best team got a buy
• 35:18
  Speaker 1: Were they aware of that?
• 35:19
  Speaker 4: Because there are a lot of.
• 35:22
  Speaker 5: Think that they knew it, they just weren't good enough
• 35:24
  Speaker 5: to achieve it.
• 35:25
  Speaker 1: Oh, is that right? Either way? Either way kind of
• 35:29
  Speaker 1: embarrassing for all of the rest of them. Time for
• 35:32
  Speaker 1: Coach Bucky. He pays us a visit here on this
• 35:35
  Speaker 1: Monday morning. Of course, Coach Bucky he's you know, I
• 35:39
  Speaker 1: mean he's he's coached every sport at every level in
• 35:43
  Speaker 1: his life, and so he doesn't retain some of the
• 35:46
  Speaker 1: biases that some people do of cost. And yet little
• 35:51
  Speaker 1: secret Coach Bucky is a Broncos fan. So what do
• 35:54
  Speaker 1: you think of the draw of Josh Allen this Saturday
• 35:58
  Speaker 1: for your Denver Broncos.
• 35:59
  Speaker 3: I'm alright with it. I mean, it's uh, they whooped
• 36:02
  Speaker 3: us last year. They whooped the Broncos last year in
• 36:05
  Speaker 3: the playoffs, but that was Bonick's first, you know, kind
• 36:08
  Speaker 3: of crack.
• 36:08
  Speaker 5: At the playoffs.
• 36:09
  Speaker 3: I think that the Broncos defense has enough to slow
• 36:12
  Speaker 3: him down, and they're they're their defense isn't very good,
• 36:18
  Speaker 3: So Bonnicks could end up having a good day. I
• 36:20
  Speaker 3: wouldn't be surprised if it's a very similar game to
• 36:22
  Speaker 3: the Jaguars, where it's kind of a back and forth
• 36:25
  Speaker 3: thing and then comes down to the end. And you know,
• 36:28
  Speaker 3: Bonicks so far this season has been just as good
• 36:31
  Speaker 3: as anybody at being able to get it done in
• 36:33
  Speaker 3: that last drive of the game, and they've kind of
• 36:35
  Speaker 3: been the cardiac kids all season long. Now that said,
• 36:39
  Speaker 3: I don't even with our defense as good as it is,
• 36:41
  Speaker 3: I don't like the idea of going up against probably
• 36:44
  Speaker 3: the best quarterback in the playoffs. It's left in the playoffs,
• 36:47
  Speaker 3: with the exception of maybe Matt Stafford, but he even
• 36:50
  Speaker 3: Matt Stafford doesn't have some of the stuff that Josh
• 36:52
  Speaker 3: Allen has.
• 36:52
  Speaker 1: I don't even think we have to clarify it as
• 36:54
  Speaker 1: the best quarterback in the playoffs. I just think he's
• 36:56
  Speaker 1: the best quarterback in the league right now. And I
• 36:59
  Speaker 1: know he doesn't have thecomplishments that Mahomes has, but his toughness,
• 37:03
  Speaker 1: the fact that he really he doesn't even have US
• 37:05
  Speaker 1: number two wide receiver on his team, much less than
• 37:08
  Speaker 1: number one.
• 37:08
  Speaker 4: Yeah, what he's done with that, it's incredible.
• 37:11
  Speaker 1: It's unreal. It's unreal. And I think he willed his
• 37:14
  Speaker 1: team to a win Sunday as well. So, I mean,
• 37:18
  Speaker 1: maybe he's on a mission. Maybe this is the year
• 37:20
  Speaker 1: he gets it done. Yeah, I'm sure coach Bucky hopes not.
• 37:25
  Speaker 1: Juwan Jennings said after the game can't wait to face
• 37:30
  Speaker 1: the Seattle Seahawks. He seemed to be the most frustrated
• 37:34
  Speaker 1: of all the forty nine ers in their last matchup.
• 37:38
  Speaker 1: During the game, is Juan should Joan win? It? Should?
• 37:43
  Speaker 1: Juwan Jennings be willing to wait?
• 37:46
  Speaker 3: Oh yeah, yeah, maybe don't be in quite a big rush.
• 37:49
  Speaker 3: I mean there's I do think that if the first
• 37:53
  Speaker 3: round the wild Card Super wild Card weekend showed us
• 37:56
  Speaker 3: anything it is that there's not a lot of separate
• 38:00
  Speaker 3: between the teams that are in the playoffs this season.
• 38:02
  Speaker 3: That said, if there is a separation, if there is
• 38:05
  Speaker 3: a team that could go out there and put it
• 38:07
  Speaker 3: on you offensively, which we've seen the Seahawks team do
• 38:10
  Speaker 3: and is most certainly going to be uphill sledding for
• 38:13
  Speaker 3: anybody against that defense.
• 38:15
  Speaker 5: It's the Seahawks.
• 38:16
  Speaker 3: I think the Seahawks maybe are the only team that
• 38:19
  Speaker 3: has distanced themselves to some degree. And we just saw
• 38:22
  Speaker 3: it the final week of the season with the number
• 38:25
  Speaker 3: one seed and a lot of stuff at stake that
• 38:27
  Speaker 3: came with that. We just saw these two teams. So
• 38:30
  Speaker 3: I don't know for sure how he's excited, yeah, or
• 38:33
  Speaker 3: if it's false confidence. That is a thing, and I
• 38:37
  Speaker 3: think maybe that's really what it was. Then again, maybe
• 38:39
  Speaker 3: it is. You know, he's like, I was one for
• 38:42
  Speaker 3: one with a touchdown today, so he's maybe he was
• 38:44
  Speaker 3: just feeling himself.
• 38:45
  Speaker 1: Yeah, maybe did you miss bad weather this weekend? Usually
• 38:49
  Speaker 1: wild Card weekend there's at least two or three games
• 38:52
  Speaker 1: or there's either snow or sleet or something. I mean,
• 38:55
  Speaker 1: the worst weather we had I think was Philly with
• 38:58
  Speaker 1: the wind. Otherwise some pretty smooth sailing.
• 39:01
  Speaker 4: There was a couple of snowflakes in Chicago, but that
• 39:03
  Speaker 4: was it.
• 39:04
  Speaker 1: That just adds down.
• 39:05
  Speaker 3: Yeah, I like the look of a snow game here
• 39:08
  Speaker 3: and there and then then again, it's really one of
• 39:11
  Speaker 3: those I think I as a former player, I'd rather
• 39:13
  Speaker 3: play in snow than cold and windy, right, and we don't.
• 39:18
  Speaker 3: It's hard to tell that on TV. I think that
• 39:20
  Speaker 3: that was probably the only game that was somewhat affected.
• 39:24
  Speaker 1: Uh.
• 39:25
  Speaker 3: And yet yeah, I mean I'm down for a weather game.
• 39:28
  Speaker 3: If there is gonna be one, I'm fine with that.
• 39:29
  Speaker 3: Even maybe Denver there's a big weather.
• 39:31
  Speaker 1: Game even here Saturday. I mean, when's last time we
• 39:35
  Speaker 1: even had a day of sunshine? And yet that's what
• 39:38
  Speaker 1: we're supposed to have on Saturday. Yeah, fifty degrees, low
• 39:41
  Speaker 1: of thirty four overnight. Yeah, that bluebird day, zero percent
• 39:46
  Speaker 1: chance of rain, no wind. I mean almost every day
• 39:50
  Speaker 1: this for the last thirty eight years here has been windy,
• 39:54
  Speaker 1: and yet this Saturday they're like, there's not They're not
• 39:57
  Speaker 1: gonna be any wind. So there's not gonna be any
• 40:00
  Speaker 1: weather at all. Yeah, for this game against the forty
• 40:03
  Speaker 1: nine ers. Finally, after you've coach Buck, I need some
• 40:07
  Speaker 1: help on this. After you've taken your tree down, your
• 40:10
  Speaker 1: Christmas tree, and then you miss it, is it okay
• 40:13
  Speaker 1: to put it right back up?
• 40:15
  Speaker 3: That is no, that is a negative no, no, Now
• 40:19
  Speaker 3: during COVID when everybody was searching for a little bit
• 40:23
  Speaker 3: of happiness because you were told you can't even go
• 40:26
  Speaker 3: round people. I remember putting up a celebration tree. But
• 40:30
  Speaker 3: it was like a plant, and we and we put
• 40:33
  Speaker 3: lights around it. After we took Christmas tree down, we
• 40:36
  Speaker 3: put up it was a plant. We still have the plant,
• 40:38
  Speaker 3: you know, like a potted plant, and we'll put some
• 40:40
  Speaker 3: lights in it. You could do something like that, just
• 40:42
  Speaker 3: a joyous plant or a tree. So like a Christmas tree,
• 40:46
  Speaker 3: you don't put that back up.
• 40:48
  Speaker 6: So you could get like just a different tree, one
• 40:50
  Speaker 6: that's joyous, yes, and put some lights on it.
• 40:52
  Speaker 4: Yes, yes, is maybe like a evergreen.
• 40:56
  Speaker 3: No no, no, not like a Christmas tree, like a
• 40:58
  Speaker 3: different thing. It's different. Hence the reason that we're talking
• 41:02
  Speaker 3: about it is if it's different.
• 41:03
  Speaker 4: Well yeah, but it would be a different tree than
• 41:05
  Speaker 4: the one.
• 41:06
  Speaker 3: Leave the same one up with all the same ornaments
• 41:09
  Speaker 3: and all the thing. You leave that up and you
• 41:11
  Speaker 3: just like I just change its name. That's no, that's nonsense.
• 41:16
  Speaker 3: Then again, that would that would fit what happens nowadays? Yeah,
• 41:19
  Speaker 3: just change the name of it.
• 41:21
  Speaker 1: So it's all right to decorate plant life year round. Sure.
• 41:25
  Speaker 3: Yeah, just make sure you dare keep the Christmas tree
• 41:30
  Speaker 3: up or the Christmas tree is not a Christmas tree
• 41:33
  Speaker 3: just because you call it a different thing.
• 41:35
  Speaker 4: You've got to get a different tree. Yeah, and then
• 41:37
  Speaker 4: you can decorate it.
• 41:38
  Speaker 1: Yeah. Thursday night, I'm like going to bed and I'm like, uh,
• 41:42
  Speaker 1: you know, probably need to take the tree down.
• 41:44
  Speaker 5: Yeh next week.
• 41:46
  Speaker 1: What Let's go through the weekend and take it down.
• 41:48
  Speaker 1: And then I got home from work on Friday and
• 41:50
  Speaker 1: it was down. Don't have to tell her twice. Yeah,
• 41:55
  Speaker 1: it was down, and man, it gave us a lot
• 41:58
  Speaker 1: more space for activity.
• 42:00
  Speaker 4: But it's also sad and dark.
• 42:02
  Speaker 1: It was a little sad when I came back in
• 42:04
  Speaker 1: and it wasn't there anymore. All right, Greg Bell's Next,
• 42:07
