Transcript
- 0:04Speaker 1: All right around to your life from Philly. It's the
- 0:10Speaker 1: Polly and Tony Fools Go NFL Reaction Show as always,
- 0:15Speaker 1: Polly Fools Go here with Tony Fools going, just a
- 0:19Speaker 1: huge reaction show of course, just tonally wiping the floor
- 0:25Speaker 1: with the Rams, never a doubt. We're gonna break down
- 0:28Speaker 1: every angle of the game with unbiased, perfect analysis as always,
- 0:33Speaker 1: and we're gonna tell you about the other games still,
- 0:35Speaker 1: you know, while the Lions, you know, should actually be
- 0:37Speaker 1: glad that they lost, and yeah, why C J. Stroud
- 0:41Speaker 1: deserves all the blame for that Texans loss to the Chiefs,
- 0:45Speaker 1: and frankly, while Lamar Jackson also deserves the blame there
- 0:50Speaker 1: he does so much to get to Tony. Let's's get
- 0:54Speaker 1: right into it. NFL Divisional Round Reaction Division Reaction. First
- 1:02Speaker 1: out the gate, the Eagles just thoroughly destroying the Rams
- 1:06Speaker 1: twenty eight twenty two, not even close. And you know,
- 1:10Speaker 1: of course, right afterwards, just as expected, all the morons
- 1:13Speaker 1: they come out of the woodwork, don't they don't want
- 1:16Speaker 1: and they once again criticized Jalen Hurts because the only
- 1:19Speaker 1: passed for one hundred and twenty eight yards. Well, all
- 1:22Speaker 1: those idiots idiots are just showing their lack of knowledge,
- 1:25Speaker 1: aren't they donting?
- 1:27Speaker 2: You know, when you criticize Jalen Hurts for not passing
- 1:30Speaker 2: the ball, you're disrespecting all the great legends who founded
- 1:34Speaker 2: the game of football. They didn't believe in all this
- 1:37Speaker 2: passing and deep throwing and helmet wearing. No, they believed
- 1:42Speaker 2: in the fundamentals running and also you know more running.
- 1:48Speaker 2: So personally, I think if those legends were alive today,
- 1:53Speaker 2: they would love what they're seeing from Jalen Hurts. In fact,
- 1:57Speaker 2: they think he had way too many passing yards.
- 2:00Speaker 1: Totally a great donate. And you know, all these people
- 2:04Speaker 1: they are applauding Saquon for having a great game, as
- 2:07Speaker 1: we all are, of course, But the whole time I
- 2:10Speaker 1: was just sitting there in awe of those perfect handoffs
- 2:13Speaker 1: by Jalen Hurts.
- 2:14Speaker 3: I mean me too.
- 2:15Speaker 1: Here he is in this ice cold weather, just one
- 2:18Speaker 1: perfect handoffs after another. It was amazing.
- 2:21Speaker 2: Yeah, we talked about it so many times on this show.
- 2:24Speaker 2: Handing off is the most important skill anybody can have.
- 2:28Speaker 2: It's what our entire society and environment is built on
- 2:32Speaker 2: for everyone. Think about mother birds, you know, where the
- 2:36Speaker 2: eagles we won think about birds. If they can't hand
- 2:39Speaker 2: off their worm to their babies, there'd be no birds.
- 2:43Speaker 3: Then there'd be no eggs.
- 2:45Speaker 2: I mean, breakfast as we know it wouldn't exist anymore.
- 2:50Speaker 1: Just terrific football and also food chain analysis that don'ty
- 2:54Speaker 1: And you know on that subject, you know last week we.
- 2:57Speaker 3: Laid it all out for your people.
- 2:58Speaker 1: We showed you Hurts is the much better statistical QB
- 3:03Speaker 1: than Matthew Stafford, and this game proved it. I mean, yeah,
- 3:06Speaker 1: sure Stafford had more passing yards and passing tds and
- 3:09Speaker 1: completions and a higher QB rating and you take a
- 3:12Speaker 1: few of sacks and didn't take a safety. But that's
- 3:15Speaker 1: all besides the point, isn't it, Dony.
- 3:17Speaker 2: Of course, we all know the most important thing any
- 3:21Speaker 2: player can do is hold on to the football. And
- 3:24Speaker 2: Jalen did such a terrific job holding onto the football
- 3:28Speaker 2: while Stafford.
- 3:30Speaker 3: Kept dropping the football.
- 3:31Speaker 2: I mean, you have to ask yourself, who would you
- 3:34Speaker 2: want delivering your baby. If you wouldn't want Matthew Stafford
- 3:38Speaker 2: as your midwife, how could you want him as your quarterback?
- 3:42Speaker 1: Just food for thought, that, Dony. And you know one
- 3:45Speaker 1: thing we do have to bring up a little bit
- 3:47Speaker 1: of a down note here. Jalen Hurts is on an
- 3:50Speaker 1: injured knee, clearly hurt his knee in that game, forced
- 3:53Speaker 1: to stay in. Well why was he forced to stay in?
- 3:56Speaker 1: Because you know his backups are not named Nick Foles.
- 4:00Speaker 1: And we were sitting here we did it. You saw
- 4:02Speaker 1: the last week's show, right, the video that went viral
- 4:06Speaker 1: us calling Howie Roseman and telling him in a message
- 4:10Speaker 1: that was taken by his secretary Angelo, that we demand
- 4:14Speaker 1: that they sign Nick Foles and you know, just to
- 4:17Speaker 1: have him back. And what yah gotta believe right now,
- 4:20Speaker 1: Howie Roseman is making that call. He gotta believe it.
- 4:23Speaker 3: Doty, yup.
- 4:24Speaker 2: People keep telling us Nick Foles is retired and therefore
- 4:27Speaker 2: won't play anymore. Have these people ever heard of wrestling?
- 4:32Speaker 2: People are unretiring all the time, Hulk, Hogan, Stone Colt,
- 4:36Speaker 2: Steve Austin. I mean, look at Rick Flair, He's seventy five,
- 4:41Speaker 2: had thirty two heart attacks and just announced that he's
- 4:44Speaker 2: coming out for one more match. So if Rick Flair
- 4:46Speaker 2: can do it, why not Nick Foles.
- 4:49Speaker 1: Just great perspective that, Doty. And now let's move to
- 4:52Speaker 1: the other games. The Commanders they beat the Lions, and
- 4:55Speaker 1: now people are coming out they're so impressed with their
- 4:58Speaker 1: rookie QB there, Jaden Daniels. Please, people, where do you
- 5:01Speaker 1: think the Commanders got the idea to draft Jaden Danders?
- 5:06Speaker 3: Exactly?
- 5:06Speaker 1: Look no further than the Eagles and their QB. They
- 5:10Speaker 1: totally copied us, didn't they donate?
- 5:13Speaker 2: You know, this isn't just playgiarism, this is player jurism.
- 5:18Speaker 2: The command has clearly copied the Eagles winning blueprint. Just
- 5:22Speaker 2: look at their quarterbacks. First thing, Jaden sounds an awful
- 5:26Speaker 2: lot like Jalen. And what conference did he play in
- 5:29Speaker 2: in college? The SEC? Just like Jalen? And how many
- 5:34Speaker 2: colleges did Jaden play for? Too?
- 5:37Speaker 3: And again just like Jalen?
- 5:40Speaker 2: And what type of quarterback is Jaden mob exactly? And
- 5:45Speaker 2: who's his tight end right now, zach ertzach exactly? And
- 5:51Speaker 2: how many interceptions did Jaden throw in college in his
- 5:55Speaker 2: whole career?
- 5:56Speaker 3: Twenty?
- 5:57Speaker 2: And how many do you think Jalen through in college
- 6:00Speaker 2: and his whole career? Do I even need to answer
- 6:03Speaker 2: the question? No, twenty boom guilty as charged, Just damning
- 6:10Speaker 2: legal analysis that dony and gotta look at the you know,
- 6:14Speaker 2: the other side of this game.
- 6:15Speaker 1: It's just the Lions. They're feeling down, coming in as
- 6:19Speaker 1: the ones see and just going down in horrible flames
- 6:22Speaker 1: as they always doing. You know, you saw the head
- 6:24Speaker 1: coach Dan Gamble at the pressa after the game, just
- 6:28Speaker 1: did crying. You know, you wish you could say something
- 6:31Speaker 1: to make it feel better, and you know, you know,
- 6:33Speaker 1: we probably do have the thing to say that. Don'ty
- 6:36Speaker 1: that there really is a bright side here for Dan
- 6:38Speaker 1: camp or the Lions, is there?
- 6:40Speaker 2: You know, Dan Campbell's forgetting the most important thing in
- 6:43Speaker 2: all of sports tradition, and there's no more time on
- 6:48Speaker 2: a tradition in sports than the Lions totally sucking. I
- 6:52Speaker 2: know Dan Campbell wanted to win, but if he did that,
- 6:55Speaker 2: it would have been a slap in the face to
- 6:57Speaker 2: all the mediocre and disappointing Lions teams that came before
- 7:01Speaker 2: him and upheld that proud tradition of sucking. In fact,
- 7:05Speaker 2: I was glad to see him crying at the press
- 7:07Speaker 2: conference because that's what Lions football is all about, crying
- 7:12Speaker 2: after devastating losses.
- 7:14Speaker 3: So good for you, Dan Campbell.
- 7:17Speaker 1: Just so poetically said that, Dody, And you know, while
- 7:21Speaker 1: we're talking Lions coaches. A lot of people, they're saying
- 7:24Speaker 1: Lions defensive coordinator Aaron Glenn might have cost himself a
- 7:28Speaker 1: potential head coaching job after the team gave up forty
- 7:31Speaker 1: five points to the command as got That's not the
- 7:34Speaker 1: case at all, is it, Tony No.
- 7:36Speaker 2: My sources tell me that by giving up all those points,
- 7:39Speaker 2: Aaron Glenn has now firmly cemented himself as the front
- 7:43Speaker 2: runner to become the next head coach of the New
- 7:47Speaker 2: York Jets. The Jets front office were really impressed with
- 7:51Speaker 2: how uninspired and totally lost the Lions defense looked the
- 7:55Speaker 2: entire game, especially when they were unable to count how
- 7:59Speaker 2: many men were on the field. That makes him a
- 8:02Speaker 2: perfect fit for Jets football, and remember he even played
- 8:06Speaker 2: there too, leading the Jets defense to a humiliating conference
- 8:10Speaker 2: championship loss to the Broncos. Just sounds like a perfect
- 8:14Speaker 2: fit to me.
- 8:15Speaker 1: Just absolutely rock solid analysis and also sourcing that Dony
- 8:20Speaker 1: and you have to move to that Ravens Bills game.
- 8:24Speaker 1: Just an absolutely heart breaking loss for the Ravens. They
- 8:27Speaker 1: lose to the Bills twenty seven to twenty five after
- 8:30Speaker 1: Mark Andrews dropped the pass on the two point conversion
- 8:34Speaker 1: that would have tied it. But yeah, you know, Dony,
- 8:36Speaker 1: hate to say it, but if there's one person who
- 8:39Speaker 1: really deserves the blame here, it's Lamar Jackson.
- 8:42Speaker 3: Yeah, I have to agree.
- 8:44Speaker 2: You know, Lamar Jackson forgot the cardinal rule, never trust
- 8:48Speaker 2: a man with two first names. Yup, Mark Andrews, Yep,
- 8:53Speaker 2: that right there. Should have told him, don't throw it
- 8:56Speaker 2: to him. I mean, Lamar Jackson has surrounded himself with
- 9:00Speaker 2: too many men with two first names yep.
- 9:02Speaker 3: Derek, Henry, Justin Tucker.
- 9:06Speaker 2: And you know, like Lamar doesn't understand because he has
- 9:09Speaker 2: two first names. Lamar Jackson just really bad roster management
- 9:15Speaker 2: by the Ravens and also Lamar.
- 9:18Speaker 1: Just stagnantly bad football decisions all around that, Dony. And well,
- 9:23Speaker 1: now we got to look at the other game in
- 9:25Speaker 1: the AFC. You know, the Chiefs they beat the Texans,
- 9:28Speaker 1: and you know, people they're saying, well, the Texans actually
- 9:31Speaker 1: outplayed the Chiefs. But we got to disagree with that
- 9:34Speaker 1: done totally. You just got to look at that Texans
- 9:37Speaker 1: qby CJ. Stroud. This loss clearly falls squarely on his shoulders.
- 9:41Speaker 1: I mean, Dony, it was clear watching Stroud's performance that
- 9:44Speaker 1: he didn't put in nearly the same level of preparation
- 9:47Speaker 1: that Patrick Mahomes did. Did he?
- 9:49Speaker 4: No?
- 9:49Speaker 2: I mean I analyzed the game film and more importantly,
- 9:53Speaker 2: the pregame film, and I didn't see CJ. Stroud do
- 9:56Speaker 2: a single thing to butter up the refs. He didn't
- 9:59Speaker 2: say high to them, or give them a Hello hug,
- 10:02Speaker 2: or ask how their kids were doing, or even you know,
- 10:05Speaker 2: give them an Olive Garden or Panera gift card so
- 10:08Speaker 2: they could have a free meal after the game. Those
- 10:11Speaker 2: are the things that Chiefs are so good at and
- 10:14Speaker 2: clearly doing.
- 10:15Speaker 4: And c J.
- 10:16Speaker 2: Stroud and the Texans want to be competitive, they've got
- 10:19Speaker 2: to start thinking to those things and buying more gift cards.
- 10:23Speaker 1: Just terrific analysis that, Donny, and such a great way
- 10:28Speaker 1: to close out this NFL reaction show. No, we almost
- 10:34Speaker 1: made it out. Wait a second, Where the hell are
- 10:36Speaker 1: you right in your studio? There?
- 10:39Speaker 3: Where are you?
- 10:40Speaker 4: What does that matter?
- 10:42Speaker 3: What does that matter?
- 10:43Speaker 1: You only produce this show, I guess, sir, Actually it's
- 10:47Speaker 1: only union you could do any matter. Where are you
- 10:51Speaker 1: up here?
- 10:52Speaker 4: Doesn't matter?
- 10:52Speaker 3: I'm here, where's here?
- 10:55Speaker 4: I'm in the city.
- 10:58Speaker 1: Do you were you watching the game.
- 11:02Speaker 4: Wow, I was in the theater.
- 11:05Speaker 3: The theater.
- 11:06Speaker 1: What you what we're seeing the Phantom of the Loser.
- 11:11Speaker 4: No, it was the play Driving this Daisy.
- 11:16Speaker 1: Oh my god, Doughty, it's a divisional round games A
- 11:18Speaker 1: producers going to see a play.
- 11:21Speaker 2: You know, I really wish you'd go see driving off
- 11:26Speaker 2: a cliff.
- 11:28Speaker 1: That's what I'd like you to say.
- 11:29Speaker 3: That's what you should see.
- 11:31Speaker 1: What what do you?
- 11:32Speaker 3: What is it? What go?
- 11:37Speaker 4: You really think Nick Foles will retire after being out
- 11:40Speaker 4: of the league for two years? Uh?
- 11:43Speaker 1: Bound to happen, But sources say it's a lock.
- 11:46Speaker 4: Bro. Yeah, my source is Instagram, and Nick Foles just
- 11:50Speaker 4: posted a photo of themselves having a coffee in Mexico City.
- 11:54Speaker 4: So I don't think it's coming back next week.
- 11:57Speaker 1: Oh yeah, well we're going to send you to Mexico
- 12:00Speaker 1: City where you're going to have a call thin.
- 12:04Speaker 2: Yeah, you're not going to be coming back to life.
- 12:10Speaker 3: I can't wait for that.
- 12:11Speaker 1: Yeah.
- 12:11Speaker 3: Oh he's still talking, still talking.
- 12:13Speaker 4: What you said the Commanders copy the Eagles by drafting
- 12:18Speaker 4: Jaden Daniels.
- 12:19Speaker 1: Yeah. The names sound alike and they play alike, do bro.
- 12:23Speaker 3: Yeah?
- 12:24Speaker 4: No, first of all, that's not copying second, Jaden Daniels
- 12:29Speaker 4: has a way better arm than Jaien Hurts. So that's
- 12:31Speaker 4: a stretch.
- 12:34Speaker 1: Oh you want to see an arm, I'll show you
- 12:36Speaker 1: an arm, my firearm. Yeah.
- 12:39Speaker 3: You know what will never be a stretch when you
- 12:42Speaker 3: enter a woman.
- 12:43Speaker 1: Oh you're done? Oh yeah, and you know why you're
- 12:47Speaker 1: really done because I just got an email from the
- 12:50Speaker 1: person who you'll say is on vacation. Guess who's booked
- 12:53Speaker 1: on the show next week. Looks like you'll be in
