Strictly Bias with Will Retherford: NFL Week 10 Reaction (2.82.1) · The Central Indiana Sports Report

0:02
[SPEAKER_00]: Welcome back football fans to Strictly by us with yours truly.
0:06
[SPEAKER_00]: Will Rutherford, we are here tonight to break down the week 10 NFL slate.
0:11
[SPEAKER_00]: I am joined by the legend himself, Greg Mengelt, Greg.
0:15
[SPEAKER_00]: Thank you for joining us.
0:17
[SPEAKER_01]: Thank you for letting me be part of your podcast.
0:21
[SPEAKER_00]: Yes, I appreciate you willingness to join and help out.
0:25
[SPEAKER_00]: We, I think we have some guests lined up in the coming weeks that my potentially join us in studio to break down some NFL film and NFL conversation in general, but Greg, we had a lot go right this week.
0:40
[SPEAKER_00]: A lot that went bad for some teams.
0:42
[SPEAKER_00]: I have a lot to say.
0:43
[SPEAKER_00]: I know you have a question to ask, so why don't you hit me with it?
0:48
[SPEAKER_01]: question I want to ask this week it will is how badly have you been waiting to glow about the New England Patriots in your prediction that they would win the AFC East this year.
1:02
[SPEAKER_00]: I didn't really think it was that likely.
1:04
[SPEAKER_00]: I did see playoffs.
1:05
[SPEAKER_00]: I the schedule had playoffs written all over.
1:07
[SPEAKER_00]: Mike Rable is an incredible coach.
1:09
[SPEAKER_00]: I think Drake may had showed signs of them really, really good last year in a bad year for the New England Patriots.
1:16
[SPEAKER_00]: And so far, they've extended all expectations.
1:19
[SPEAKER_00]: They have only given up one running back to have over 50 yards the entire year, it's week 10.
1:27
[SPEAKER_00]: They're all the sudden, just really good.
1:29
[SPEAKER_00]: And I don't think it's a surprise that the Titan's fire, Michael Rable, the Titans are horrible and have been since he left, and the Patriot to all the sudden are really, really good.
1:40
[SPEAKER_00]: Really, really good.
1:41
[SPEAKER_00]: Really good.
1:43
[SPEAKER_00]: They're a competent good.
1:45
[SPEAKER_00]: They can win a playoff game type team.
1:47
[SPEAKER_00]: I'll give you a pretty good.
1:48
[SPEAKER_00]: How about that?
1:51
[SPEAKER_00]: A couple more weeks like they show,
1:55
[SPEAKER_00]: And a couple more weeks like they showed in week 10 and Tampa Bay, and I think that you have to start entertaining the question that they are a contender to be a top four top two team in the AFC when it's all said down, especially if they're able to get home field.
2:10
[SPEAKER_00]: Sure.
2:11
[SPEAKER_00]: But, you know, I still think there's a lot of an experience on the outside.
2:14
[SPEAKER_00]: I think they have young running backs.
2:17
[SPEAKER_00]: I think Drake May is exceptional, but
2:21
[SPEAKER_00]: there definitely a tier below, I think, the top AFC teams.
2:28
[SPEAKER_01]: As a cult fan who has Super Bowl aspirations for his team, knowing Lynn Patriot, it's concerned me much more next year in the year after that.
2:38
[SPEAKER_01]: Just still too many young players and too many important places and I agree with that.
2:46
[SPEAKER_01]: I want to wake me up in 26 with the Patriots.
2:49
[SPEAKER_00]: I agree with that, especially like with the Patriots holding Jonathan Taylor Doug under 50 rushing yards, you know, they're not.
2:56
[SPEAKER_01]: Maybe in maybe in New England, in January, and that's why if you're a girlfriend, you want to avoid that situation.
3:05
[SPEAKER_00]: And I, I really struggle with that.
3:08
[SPEAKER_00]: The Steelers didn't because I can win away from the run game.
3:12
[SPEAKER_00]: I, if Stike in states come into the run game, Jonathan is going to have a hundred yards every single game, because he's just that good.
3:18
[SPEAKER_01]: And he's going to avoid going to Foxborough or Denver or Buffalo.
3:24
[SPEAKER_00]: I, I think so.
3:26
[SPEAKER_00]: I think they're definitely a team probably built for a down.
3:28
[SPEAKER_00]: I think Daniel Jones, private place is best football and a more control environment.
3:33
[SPEAKER_00]: I think sometimes a silly, as it sounds, it gets rabble outside for whatever reason a little easier.
3:44
[SPEAKER_01]: You know, plus as the number once you get to play either the second or third best team not both.
3:50
[SPEAKER_01]: And that's that's as important as playing at home.
3:54
[SPEAKER_00]: I agree.
3:54
[SPEAKER_00]: I also think it comes down to this cold team.
3:56
[SPEAKER_00]: Not really going to have time to experience and cold weather this season when it comes down to it.
4:01
[SPEAKER_00]: They're going to play in Kansas City.
4:03
[SPEAKER_00]: They're going to play in Seattle and then everything else is either going to be in a
4:10
[SPEAKER_00]: You're kind of talking about a team that really, if you think the cold weather experience of Pittsburgh at 55 is going to be anything like it's going to be when it's 20 degrees in Baltimore, I think that you might be singing a different tune in terms of this team's ability to play in an uncontrollable weather environment.
4:27
[SPEAKER_00]: We'll see, I know it sounds silly, but some teams just really struggle on the road to the Lions or a team.
4:32
[SPEAKER_00]: Jared Goffs, a quarterback that does not play well outside of the comforts of a dome.
4:40
[SPEAKER_01]: Colts have been good on the road.
4:41
[SPEAKER_01]: They've been prepared every time they've gone on the road, except for maybe this past week, but that's an exciting new way to circumstance, but they've been good on the road, and we'll see.
4:56
[SPEAKER_01]: Hey, well, the one on the winner, say my losses are the week.
5:09
[SPEAKER_01]: Hey, will want the winners and the losers of the week.
5:15
[SPEAKER_00]: Greg, it was not hard to find five winners and five losers this week.
5:19
[SPEAKER_00]: The last week was a little difficult.
5:22
[SPEAKER_00]: I think that you're going to like my losers.
5:24
[SPEAKER_00]: I think that we might be thinking in the same way of length.
5:26
[SPEAKER_00]: My biggest loser is the 49ers.
5:29
[SPEAKER_00]: And I don't say the 49ers are the biggest loser because all of a sudden they're not going to make the playoffs are all of a sudden.
5:35
[SPEAKER_00]: They're just going to be a really bad team.
5:36
[SPEAKER_00]: They're six and four.
5:37
[SPEAKER_00]: They look really good with Mac Jones on your center.
5:39
[SPEAKER_00]: I say it because I think it makes their path to winning the NFC West basically impossible now.
5:45
[SPEAKER_00]: They no longer have any level of tiebreaker against the Rams.
5:49
[SPEAKER_00]: They've gone one and one in the series.
5:51
[SPEAKER_00]: Both the Rams and the C-Ox only have two losses.
5:54
[SPEAKER_00]: They're both seven and two.
5:55
[SPEAKER_00]: This $40 or something is six and four.
5:58
[SPEAKER_00]: And I just think it means they're going to have to go on the road when they inevitably make the playoffs.
6:05
[SPEAKER_00]: Come January and I just don't think this.
6:09
[SPEAKER_00]: I think they're plenty good enough.
6:11
[SPEAKER_00]: If they can get healthy.
6:16
[SPEAKER_00]: to me, I think the biggest issue is if Brockford is going to be the quarterback because I think if Brockford is their quarterback, I don't think there's any chance they make the playoffs.
6:24
[SPEAKER_00]: I think if they, they say inevitably, maybe I still think they're going to ride the hot him with Mac Jones.
6:30
[SPEAKER_00]: I think Kyle Shanahan has shown the propensity to do that in the past with Brockford, sending to the starting role, although Lansing, Garoppolo did have season ending injuries.
6:42
[SPEAKER_00]: for whatever reason it just feels like they kind of lost any chance of winning the NFC West and I think it's gonna be really hard for them to get back to a situation where they can and that makes it really a lot harder to win the postseason.
6:57
[SPEAKER_01]: As of right now, well, the 49ers would be on the outside looking in and I know the bears are the most likely team to drop out of that.
7:05
[SPEAKER_01]: Everybody ahead of them, I think it's better than they are.
7:12
[SPEAKER_00]: Sure, five and three and a one, they should be five and four.
7:20
[SPEAKER_01]: The good news is for them that there are only eight teams playing for those seven spots.
7:27
[SPEAKER_01]: Sure, I think you eliminated themselves this week.
7:30
[SPEAKER_00]: I agree with that.
7:31
[SPEAKER_00]: I don't know, it will see I do think Rain Bay still does have to go and play to Troy one more time.
7:42
[SPEAKER_00]: their, I think the best team by a wide margin, both on paper and on the field, they're the most consistent for sure.
7:51
[SPEAKER_00]: The 49ers are one of eight teams and I think they're going to find their way into the playoffs.
7:59
[SPEAKER_00]: So we'll see.
8:00
[SPEAKER_00]: I think only time will tell I just I wouldn't be shocked to see three teams get in from the NFC West.
8:05
[SPEAKER_01]: It's a really good division.
8:09
[SPEAKER_01]: Hey, well, we get a really good
8:11
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, that is we've gotten the a lot actually that's pretty common matchup.
8:17
[SPEAKER_00]: I remember watching an atomic ensue, stomped on a henrodger's leg.
8:22
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, but they're not all both pretty serious contenders most of the time.
8:26
[SPEAKER_00]: That's true.
8:27
[SPEAKER_00]: That's true.
8:28
[SPEAKER_00]: Talking about team that we thought was a serious contender my second loser of the weeks the buffalo bills.
8:38
[SPEAKER_00]: all the sudden.
8:40
[SPEAKER_00]: I just don't know if I'm seeing it.
8:42
[SPEAKER_00]: And I've been finally bearish on them for the better part of about a month.
8:48
[SPEAKER_00]: I think that their inability to stop the rush is really concerning, especially considering how good the top of the AFC is at running the football.
8:58
[SPEAKER_00]: I think McDermott's coaching for his job right now, we'll see.
9:02
[SPEAKER_00]: I think a desperate team always plays a little harder than that loss in Miami is just strange.
9:07
[SPEAKER_00]: You know, it's, it's not like they just did, they played holdable, Allen Stattland look pretty good when it was all said and done, James Cook had a fairly good day.
9:16
[SPEAKER_00]: It was just, and maybe it's a one off Miami just kind of caught lightning in a bottle a little bit and just played a great game.
9:23
[SPEAKER_01]: The Bonnie Chan, it's not a lot of, they also lost
9:29
[SPEAKER_00]: That's true.
9:30
[SPEAKER_00]: That's very true.
9:31
[SPEAKER_00]: All right.
9:33
[SPEAKER_00]: We'll see.
9:33
[SPEAKER_00]: I think that this is a team that up to this point is waste, maybe the best stretch of a quarterback run in NFL history and what Josh Allen's been able to do.
9:42
[SPEAKER_00]: I don't want to say that they need to make changes at the top, but boy, if they sputter into January and sneak into a playoff spot and lose the first round, I think Sean McDermott's going to be heading to the unemployment line.
10:01
[SPEAKER_00]: another coach coaching for their job.
10:03
[SPEAKER_00]: I think at this point in my third loser the week's the Green Bay Packers.
10:07
[SPEAKER_00]: We just talked about him briefly, but what the hell is Matt LaFluer drawing up there on that final drive?
10:17
[SPEAKER_00]: Are we just going to spam inside zone with Josh Jacobs and hope that he can you know break one off for 20 yards?
10:23
[SPEAKER_01]: I kind of thought LaFluer might be a good one
10:28
[SPEAKER_00]: His record career record says he is a good one.
10:32
[SPEAKER_00]: I think the issue is that he struggles to win games that are really important.
10:36
[SPEAKER_00]: And that was a really important game for them to hold serve in an NFC North that has Detroit now as, well, they're tied for first.
10:45
[SPEAKER_00]: I think technically because of the tiebreaker, but regardless,
10:50
[SPEAKER_00]: Jordan love looked inept that offense looked horrible without Tucker craft.
10:54
[SPEAKER_00]: I think that if you had any thought that he wasn't the number one receiver on that team, you now are fooling yourself.
11:02
[SPEAKER_00]: that was an ugly game.
11:04
[SPEAKER_00]: It was not a good watch at all.
11:06
[SPEAKER_00]: It put people to sleep on a Monday night after a pretty bad Sunday night football game as well.
11:12
[SPEAKER_00]: But this Packer's team, boy, I don't know if they make the playoffs.
11:15
[SPEAKER_00]: If they continue to sputter like this and the bears can take advantage of the opportunity that's kind of been given to them in the 49ers can continue to play well.
11:23
[SPEAKER_00]: All the sudden this Packer's team is on the outside looking in when we
11:27
[SPEAKER_00]: thought they had Super Bowl aspirations, especially after the Micah Parsons deal.
11:31
[SPEAKER_00]: It's just something's not working out, and I do think Micah Parsons is a bit to blame because he's really bad against the run, and he has a complete liability whenever teams are in running situations that was evident last night.
11:47
[SPEAKER_00]: This Packers team needs to be worried though.
11:50
[SPEAKER_00]: They really need to
11:55
[SPEAKER_01]: and it's not good in Green Bay, that's for sure.
11:57
[SPEAKER_01]: I would definitely be uneasy where I Michelle Garmin right now.
12:03
[SPEAKER_00]: Yep, another historic franchise and another one that I think a coach could be on the hot seat, and that's the Pittsburgh Steelers.
12:10
[SPEAKER_00]: Who all of a sudden, everybody's talking about how back they are after that winning into the Coles and they go and lay a complete egg.
12:17
[SPEAKER_00]: And,
12:19
[SPEAKER_00]: Inglewood on Sunday night.
12:22
[SPEAKER_00]: That was just an atrocious game for my own Rogers.
12:25
[SPEAKER_00]: I, you know, their defense kept it in it long enough, but how that offense just could move ball.
12:33
[SPEAKER_01]: I'm like the NFC.
12:35
[SPEAKER_01]: There are 10 teams that could make the playoffs in the AFC.
12:38
[SPEAKER_00]: I'm completely agree on the stats show it, the standing show it.
12:44
[SPEAKER_00]: This stealer's team is so confusing to me because you saw in that game against the Colts, they looked really good.
12:49
[SPEAKER_00]: Now they scored 27 points.
12:51
[SPEAKER_00]: I will say, 24 of those points came off the turnover.
12:54
[SPEAKER_01]: The stealer would be able to work good against the Colts, not their offense.
12:58
[SPEAKER_00]: Well, I agree with that, but if there are defenses in turn in the ball over at that offense, I think it's really struggling to move the ball efficiently.
13:05
[SPEAKER_00]: I think you saw Rodgers miss some throws that historically you wouldn't see your and Rodgers miss.
13:10
[SPEAKER_00]: It just really begs the question of the Steelers three weeks ago, look like they had the chance to shut the door on the AFC North in a week six, and they have completely crap the bed.
13:21
[SPEAKER_00]: They have now allowed the Ravens to come right back into convention.
13:27
[SPEAKER_00]: Just the same old Pittsburgh Steelers, the same old story this every season.
13:33
[SPEAKER_00]: I'll be shocked if the Ravens aren't on your winters this week.
13:35
[SPEAKER_00]: That's for sure.
13:37
[SPEAKER_00]: I think they're going to be you're not going to be shocked by him.
13:39
[SPEAKER_00]: I number one loser is though, and that's a Jacksonville Jaguars.
13:43
[SPEAKER_00]: Who?
13:45
[SPEAKER_00]: Oh, if 20, 20, we'd call it, we'd call it will.
13:51
[SPEAKER_00]: It's got an awful loud on Twitter, everybody completely.
13:55
[SPEAKER_00]: dogging on Trevor Lawrence and the Jaguars as a whole, I, it's not just Trevor Lawrence.
14:01
[SPEAKER_00]: That's for sure.
14:02
[SPEAKER_00]: I think to be quite frank, I go back and watch that game and he's the least of my worry.
14:09
[SPEAKER_00]: I think in terms of that, that offensive line is horrible.
14:13
[SPEAKER_00]: Walker a little look like Daniel Brothers, like four year old stepbrother out there playing football in the front yard.
14:21
[SPEAKER_00]: I have
14:28
[SPEAKER_00]: And their defense, you give up 19 points in the fourth order to lead the writing was on the wall when when Liam Cohen went for two.
14:35
[SPEAKER_00]: After they scored that last touch on their up 29, 10 when he went for two, it showed me he had no faith in his defense ability to stop that Texan team because if you're trying to intentionally go up 21 to make it to where you're playing for a tie, come the end of the game, and that chose to me that there's a lack of trust in that defense ability to stop the ball.
14:56
[SPEAKER_00]: They've, they've paid Josh Hines Allen.
14:58
[SPEAKER_00]: He has been nowhere to be seeing this entire year.
15:02
[SPEAKER_00]: You're off in scored 22.
15:05
[SPEAKER_00]: You got 29 from a special team's touchdown.
15:07
[SPEAKER_00]: Against this Texan's team, that it should be good enough to win especially against the Davis Mills Texan's team.
15:15
[SPEAKER_00]: The Texan's average giving up 15 points again, you get a touchdown more than that and you still lose, you let lead the door open
15:25
[SPEAKER_01]: You imagine the Jaguar fan.
15:27
[SPEAKER_00]: Travis Hunter just on Tuesday announced he's going to miss the rest of season.
15:31
[SPEAKER_00]: He had season in the surgery.
15:32
[SPEAKER_00]: The repair is an LCL tear that he had in a practice.
15:38
[SPEAKER_00]: What a talent.
15:39
[SPEAKER_00]: Can't catch the ball.
15:41
[SPEAKER_00]: Brian Thomas Jr.
15:42
[SPEAKER_00]: He's a complete liability.
15:48
[SPEAKER_00]: I, that Jax team boy, they are just, they're just the Jacksonville Jaguars and you love it.
15:55
[SPEAKER_01]: Loaded with five star talent, too.
15:59
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, we'll, we'll see kind of how their season goes.
16:03
[SPEAKER_00]: They have the chargers coming into town that's going to be no easy task, although I know Greg Mingell historically doesn't like West Coast teams moving east for a 1 o'clock star.
16:13
[SPEAKER_00]: So we'll see how we feel about that come to pick them time.
16:22
[SPEAKER_00]: time to move on to the winners.
16:24
[SPEAKER_00]: I think we probably have the force the same team to your two to be honest.
16:27
[SPEAKER_00]: I don't know how you felt about the losers where your losers stacked up with mines for the week.
16:32
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, other than the Carolina Panthers probably would have been on my list, Buffalo would have been number one, but my list would have been similar will.
16:42
[SPEAKER_00]: I'm on the reason for having the Panthers off as I never took a serious to begin with.
16:46
[SPEAKER_00]: They were the worst five and 14.
16:47
[SPEAKER_00]: I've ever laid my eyes on.
16:51
[SPEAKER_01]: But they had a chance to get to six and four with the worst team in the league at home.
16:54
[SPEAKER_01]: Well, they're a loser potentially.
16:57
[SPEAKER_01]: They're the guff in the middle of the loser, man.
17:01
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, seven points against the states.
17:04
[SPEAKER_01]: Can you imagine being a Carolina Panthers fan?
17:07
[SPEAKER_00]: rough.
17:09
[SPEAKER_00]: All right, now that we've gotten through the lovable losers, let's get to our wonderful winners for the week.
17:16
[SPEAKER_00]: The first winner, your favorite team grown up as a child, the Detroit Lions.
17:23
[SPEAKER_00]: Dan Campbell takes over play calling all the sudden that often looks just like the last year and I know that there is some conversation about how talented that team is and job or not getting james really into the ball.
17:39
[SPEAKER_01]: Will can I preface that yes, they are my they're one of my two favorite teams that I cheer for every week.
17:47
[SPEAKER_01]: Can I just say that that Washington defense has quit?
17:51
[SPEAKER_01]: We can't judge anything that happened last week.
17:56
[SPEAKER_01]: I wouldn't put them in the winners at all.
17:58
[SPEAKER_00]: Oh, I can judge it because I think that it's still puts 44 up on the NFL franchise.
18:03
[SPEAKER_00]: That's difficult to do.
18:04
[SPEAKER_00]: In any capacity, I do agree that this Washington team is completely given up, but the lines are 6 and 3 and basically have the opportunity to go take the division lead next week.
18:18
[SPEAKER_00]: We'll see moving on the L.A. Chargers all the sudden they're quietly a really good football team.
18:26
[SPEAKER_00]: They've just kind of kept on keeping on.
18:29
[SPEAKER_00]: They have a three-o division lead in terms of.
18:34
[SPEAKER_00]: I think a lot of it goes just in her where that offensive line is really porous and Herbert continues to look really really good.
18:40
[SPEAKER_00]: They have an opportunity to add to their win total in Jacksonville next week.
18:45
[SPEAKER_00]: I think it's going to be a difficult game as opportunity to be one of those going to let down big Sunday night football wins.
18:51
[SPEAKER_00]: And then you go across the country, start at 10 o'clock local.
18:55
[SPEAKER_00]: That's right.
18:55
[SPEAKER_00]: Maybe they sputter a little bit.
18:58
[SPEAKER_00]: That injury to our lingerie, Gadsen, in terms of the quad bruise that he has is concerning because he's been a really good safety valve for Justin Herbert.
19:07
[SPEAKER_00]: This season, he's definitely proven himself to be an excellent tight end and the National Football League is a rookie.
19:14
[SPEAKER_00]: a lot to like with their run game.
19:15
[SPEAKER_00]: I think they have enough talent on the back end to be dangerous.
19:18
[SPEAKER_00]: I don't think the defense is as good as it was last year.
19:21
[SPEAKER_00]: There's a lot to like and just in Herbert's the prototype for who you want leading your team in January.
19:25
[SPEAKER_00]: I think if they get there, they can be really dangerous.
19:32
[SPEAKER_00]: Moving on, the Baltimore Ravens, all of a sudden here they are just kind of like everybody said they were going to be originally I said it was going to be really tough.
19:42
[SPEAKER_00]: In terms of their season, they're going to win that division by a game at least I think when it's all said and done I'm not sure they lose the game the rest of the year they end up eleven and six.
19:54
[SPEAKER_00]: their four or five edit.
19:55
[SPEAKER_00]: There's a chance they end up 12 and five.
19:58
[SPEAKER_00]: They might not lose the rest of the year.
19:59
[SPEAKER_00]: We'll see Lamar Jackson's enough to be said.
20:02
[SPEAKER_01]: I think their canary is definitely starting to 12 and five will.
20:09
[SPEAKER_00]: They have no 30 points of game when Lamar plays.
20:14
[SPEAKER_01]: All right.
20:15
[SPEAKER_01]: He is special.
20:15
[SPEAKER_01]: I'll say that.
20:18
[SPEAKER_00]: I still raise your things of talent.
20:20
[SPEAKER_01]: I still hope he's going on beating the rest of the way.
20:23
[SPEAKER_00]: 11, I don't they may lose one more game 11 and six.
20:26
[SPEAKER_00]: I'll give you 11 and six, but watch out.
20:29
[SPEAKER_00]: The Baltimore Ravens are for real.
20:30
[SPEAKER_00]: And if you haven't realized it yet, it's time to face reality.
20:36
[SPEAKER_01]: Hey, well, they're next to a few games at Browns, jets at home, bingles at home, Steelers at home at bingles, Patriots at home, then they finish in Green Bay and in Pittsburgh.
20:48
[SPEAKER_01]: They're making the playoffs.
20:49
[SPEAKER_01]: They're winning that division.
20:52
[SPEAKER_00]: Thank you for making my point for me, appreciate it.
20:54
[SPEAKER_01]: But they're not good enough to go on beaten the rest of the way.
20:59
[SPEAKER_00]: They would be the betting favorite every single one of those games.
21:03
[SPEAKER_00]: Right now, they're the favorite and everyone we'll see.
21:07
[SPEAKER_00]: I think it's possible.
21:09
[SPEAKER_00]: Another team, a little different situation in the Ravens, but a team that I've really enjoyed watching Seattle Seahawks, my second biggest winner for the week, they are really good.
21:21
[SPEAKER_01]: They need to care for them.
21:22
[SPEAKER_01]: Darn old, by the way, think you need to slash them.
21:24
[SPEAKER_01]: Darn old on this.
21:25
[SPEAKER_00]: Well, and Jackson Smith and Jigbontoppa, that they are one of one to punch those two are in terms of a quarterback wide receiver duo.
21:32
[SPEAKER_00]: I think they're running back by committees.
21:33
[SPEAKER_00]: The dumbest I've ever seen.
21:36
[SPEAKER_00]: Kenneth Walker is packed far in a way better than Zach Sharbernay that does baffle me that defensive line looks just like a mic with Donald defensive front front four I think their front seven is a totals really good tackling they have enough talent and their secondary to really run with any teams top two receivers is the home field advantage may be lost a little bit from the legion boom sure but that is a team that is really really dangerous and I think they're super efficient on offense which both well for postseason
22:07
[SPEAKER_01]: Seven and two will with still games at Tennessee home against the Vikings at Carolina.
22:14
[SPEAKER_01]: So there's no questions the adults get into 10 and the other games are at least 50-50.
22:21
[SPEAKER_01]: So Seattle is definitely a playoff team.
22:24
[SPEAKER_01]: We'll see in the coming weeks if they're a Super Bowl contender.
22:28
[SPEAKER_00]: Well, that leads me to my biggest winner of the week and the team that I think is a Super Bowl contender, and that is the LA Rams who I think are just a little bit better version of the Seattle Sea Ox.
22:40
[SPEAKER_00]: I like Matt Stafford and trust him a little bit more come January.
22:43
[SPEAKER_00]: I like the receiving core a little bit better in terms of Devante Adams and Pucanacula.
22:48
[SPEAKER_00]: I also like that they have three really.
22:50
[SPEAKER_00]: good titans, they're able to run a 13 personnel for those that don't know that's one running back in three titans in an 11 man formation better than any team their efficiency and a 13 personnel is really unprecedented.
23:19
[SPEAKER_00]: They have two good running backs, covered Williams's excellent.
23:24
[SPEAKER_00]: Blake Quorum is a good complimentary back.
23:27
[SPEAKER_00]: I think Jared versus a all-world defensive end.
23:31
[SPEAKER_00]: I love their defense.
23:32
[SPEAKER_00]: I think they're super stingy.
23:34
[SPEAKER_00]: They create a lot of issues for teams.
23:38
[SPEAKER_00]: It's just a, they're really good.
23:40
[SPEAKER_00]: John McFade and excellent coach.
23:42
[SPEAKER_00]: There's so much to like about this team in Master Africa is just playing completely out of his ass.
23:48
[SPEAKER_00]: He's not throwing an interception in like six games, 20 touchdowns to no interceptions over this hot stretch of his, the coup has not even been super healthy and suddenly they just look like the best team in football and they look like it could be really sustainable.
24:09
[SPEAKER_01]: I'd probably switch out the lines, but in the Eagles, big win in Green Bay, I know what still a lot of question marks with the Eagles, but they're seven and two, and there's no doubting that defense.
24:20
[SPEAKER_00]: I, that was one of those games.
24:23
[SPEAKER_00]: The, the Raiders, Broncos game, is over winter.
24:30
[SPEAKER_00]: I left that game thinking this Eagles team.
24:32
[SPEAKER_00]: There's no way that they're making to the Super Bowl.
24:34
[SPEAKER_00]: They just are not good enough, flat out, even with all the talent that the run they had they're not able to get safe when going as efficiently, I think Jalen Hurts just kind of struggles to see the field sometimes.
24:50
[SPEAKER_00]: It sounds weird, I don't know.
24:51
[SPEAKER_00]: They just edge it running on three targets.
24:54
[SPEAKER_00]: It sounds off, I don't know.
24:57
[SPEAKER_00]: We've been saying it for almost two years now.
24:59
[SPEAKER_00]: Something's off with that team.
25:00
[SPEAKER_00]: And it's just going to come a time where it all blows up.
25:03
[SPEAKER_00]: And I think we're getting there.
25:04
[SPEAKER_00]: I wish that they should have just shifted AJ Brown off in the deadline for what they could have gotten for him and rid of themselves of that cancer.
25:10
[SPEAKER_01]: Because I think he's a ticking time bomb.
25:23
[SPEAKER_01]: All right, well, as the opera singer asks, two are the five most likely teams to win Super Bowl 60 in San Francisco area in February.
25:37
[SPEAKER_00]: Well, I'm going to give my five, and then I'm going to give one word to describe them.
25:41
[SPEAKER_00]: My number five team is the Baltimore Ravens.
25:44
[SPEAKER_00]: My word is Lamar Jackson.
25:46
[SPEAKER_00]: Well, I guess Lamar, two words.
25:50
[SPEAKER_00]: My number 14 is still the Philadelphia Eagles defense.
25:55
[SPEAKER_00]: That's the word there.
25:56
[SPEAKER_00]: So good.
25:57
[SPEAKER_00]: My number three team is surprisingly the Denver Broncos and my word for them is defense as well.
26:06
[SPEAKER_01]: Two high.
26:06
[SPEAKER_00]: The most second most likely teams, the bucks, Baker.
26:11
[SPEAKER_00]: I love him in winning situations.
26:12
[SPEAKER_00]: I think that if he was given an opportunity in that New England game to have a chance to win it if they could have gotten a stop, he would have done it.
26:19
[SPEAKER_00]: So, there's still a lot to like.
26:21
[SPEAKER_00]: He's still playing really efficiently.
26:25
[SPEAKER_00]: I think that he's really good.
26:26
[SPEAKER_00]: Even that loss to the Patriots.
26:28
[SPEAKER_00]: Every time a team wins a Super Bowl, there's a loss that you kind of leave yourself questioning whether they're still legit or not.
26:36
[SPEAKER_00]: And you've seen it the last few years that Chiefs have had a couple bad losses to teams.
26:40
[SPEAKER_00]: They really had no business losing to.
26:42
[SPEAKER_00]: They've won the Super Bowl.
26:43
[SPEAKER_00]: I chalked this up as the bucks just kind of got surprised at home against the Patriots.
26:49
[SPEAKER_00]: My team, most likely the Super Bowl's the Rams.
26:54
[SPEAKER_00]: Efficiency is my work for them.
26:57
[SPEAKER_00]: They're just too good.
27:00
[SPEAKER_01]: I like that.
27:01
[SPEAKER_01]: I don't think there's any team that's most likely to win the Super Bowl right now.
27:06
[SPEAKER_01]: I have too many questions.
27:07
[SPEAKER_01]: I'd still probably put Buffalo and Tampa Bay the most likely to get to the Super Bowl, but I have far more questions about that than I had even last week at this time.
27:19
[SPEAKER_01]: Fool me once with the bills, shame on them.
27:23
[SPEAKER_01]: Fool me twice, shame on me.
27:26
[SPEAKER_01]: And we've seen two giant stinkers where they could not stop the run.
27:30
[SPEAKER_01]: I do believe they can find a way to fix it, especially with a quarterback like Josh Allen, who is capable of taking over games all by himself, which is why I put them number one, but I still don't really believe in them.
27:42
[SPEAKER_00]: I think the only team that I feel really dead set, that's gonna be in a championship games, the Rams.
27:48
[SPEAKER_00]: I think they're just.
27:49
[SPEAKER_00]: Quarterback sold, man, he doesn't look at him.
27:54
[SPEAKER_00]: And they're keeping him upright.
27:56
[SPEAKER_01]: But when the dog days come, they're quarterbacks old.
27:59
[SPEAKER_01]: That's my question.
28:00
[SPEAKER_01]: That's all.
28:02
[SPEAKER_01]: Those received.
28:02
[SPEAKER_00]: We saw a real.
28:04
[SPEAKER_00]: We saw with Peyton, he won on a retirement tour, Tom Brady won on a retirement tour.
28:09
[SPEAKER_00]: That if anything, I think it goes well.
28:13
[SPEAKER_01]: It just adds some questions for me.
28:17
[SPEAKER_01]: again, we will talk to each other very soon.
28:19
[SPEAKER_01]: We're going to figure out a way to get you on twice a week because it's so much fun and you are so good at this.
