• 3:30
  Speaker 2: Her voice is gone. You even go to the game, no,
• 3:33
  Speaker 2: and your voice is gone.
• 3:34
  Speaker 3: Voice is gone. I talked for people. Everyone was so nervous.
• 3:38
  Speaker 3: People showed up by halftime of the first game, like
• 3:41
  Speaker 3: just ready. So it was talking. And then I just
• 3:44
  Speaker 3: remember I was controlling the TV volume, turning it up
• 3:47
  Speaker 3: louder and louder so I could hear the game, but
• 3:50
  Speaker 3: the louder i'd turn it up, the louder everybody got.
• 3:53
  Speaker 3: So I just was talking over other people about the
• 3:57
  Speaker 3: game while everybody else was talking about other things. And
• 4:00
  Speaker 3: it was just the best experience of my entire life.
• 4:03
  Speaker 3: Everybody when Puka Akua made that catch and the clock
• 4:07
  Speaker 3: kept going, Yeah, it was like, I mean, I'm sure
• 4:11
  Speaker 3: that people too towns over could hear. I mean, we
• 4:14
  Speaker 3: just erupted. Everyone was hugging.
• 4:16
  Speaker 2: You live on a golf course, you need to respect Yeah,
• 4:19
  Speaker 2: why half that? I mean there could be wildlife out there.
• 4:26
  Speaker 2: What if Tiger Woods is trying to putt.
• 4:28
  Speaker 3: I hope that it ruined his putt.
• 4:30
  Speaker 2: Yeah, boy, I mean he gets angry about it.
• 4:32
  Speaker 3: I hope I interrupted the coyotes sleep.
• 4:36
  Speaker 1: Was there anyone out there golfing during that game? Couldn't
• 4:38
  Speaker 1: have been.
• 4:38
  Speaker 3: We were Actually we've been closed because it's been so cold.
• 4:41
  Speaker 2: Oh I see, Well it was certainly hot indoors. As
• 4:46
  Speaker 2: the Seahawks get it done last night, thirty one to
• 4:48
  Speaker 2: twenty seven. A remarkable experience. But while we before we
• 4:53
  Speaker 2: dive in and we're dealing with emotions, Bucky, how are
• 4:56
  Speaker 2: you doing? I'm all right, all right? Sports?
• 5:00
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean, kind of a fun football season for me.
• 5:04
  Speaker 1: Coll of Jann pro and then just to basically ended
• 5:08
  Speaker 1: at the same spot on both of them is a
• 5:10
  Speaker 1: bit disappointing.
• 5:11
  Speaker 2: But I was kind of.
• 5:13
  Speaker 1: I mean, after bo Nix goes down, it kind of took,
• 5:16
  Speaker 1: you know, some of the wind out of my sales
• 5:18
  Speaker 1: last weekend.
• 5:19
  Speaker 2: And and yet then I.
• 5:20
  Speaker 1: Had mustered up the thought, Okay, we can do something
• 5:23
  Speaker 1: and then get to the super Bowl and see what
• 5:25
  Speaker 1: can happen. Then it just didn't work out that way.
• 5:27
  Speaker 1: Fun game to watch, I mean, it wasn't with the
• 5:30
  Speaker 1: blizzard conditions in the second half that was fun. But yeah,
• 5:33
  Speaker 1: come up on the short end of sticks. Just part
• 5:35
  Speaker 1: of sports.
• 5:35
  Speaker 2: Wow, you that is a weird because add the Mariners,
• 5:38
  Speaker 2: You've gotten to the Final four with every team that
• 5:41
  Speaker 2: you've rooted for, Yeah, and then can't and then haven't
• 5:44
  Speaker 2: been able to are not trying hard enough? I think.
• 5:47
  Speaker 2: I think.
• 5:50
  Speaker 1: I typically sit in the same place, but that's just
• 5:53
  Speaker 1: because I have one recliner and that's where I sit.
• 5:56
  Speaker 1: So it's not because of some stition or superstition. I
• 6:00
  Speaker 1: don't know if I'm not doing enough. I I you're
• 6:03
  Speaker 1: doing a lot.
• 6:04
  Speaker 2: I mean, you're getting there, but then I don't know,
• 6:06
  Speaker 2: maybe just not in it.
• 6:09
  Speaker 1: I don't I don't think it's because my heart's not
• 6:11
  Speaker 1: in it. I really really really wanted my teams to
• 6:14
  Speaker 1: win like really badly, and that day I just I'm
• 6:18
  Speaker 1: maybe I'm not superstitious enough. Uh. Then again, I mean
• 6:23
  Speaker 1: I know.
• 6:23
  Speaker 2: Where you can get some lessons.
• 6:24
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I don't know if I want to go that route.
• 6:28
  Speaker 2: I mean horse girl in there, and I don't mean
• 6:31
  Speaker 2: h O A R s E. You don't think yeah.
• 6:36
  Speaker 1: Bronco horse like voice horse.
• 6:39
  Speaker 3: Yes, I don't know what happened, as I said, but
• 6:43
  Speaker 3: I when I woke up, I was like, oh, I
• 6:45
  Speaker 3: really talk because you cared enough. I did care. I
• 6:47
  Speaker 3: heard lots of a voice than my husband, who was
• 6:49
  Speaker 3: at the game.
• 6:50
  Speaker 2: I mean, your job is your voice, and yet you
• 6:53
  Speaker 2: put so much into it to try to get the
• 6:55
  Speaker 2: Seahawks to the super That's right. Look at Bucky's voice
• 6:59
  Speaker 2: sounds one.
• 7:00
  Speaker 1: Yeah, he didn't even any well, I.
• 7:03
  Speaker 2: Mean, for what his worth.
• 7:04
  Speaker 1: I actually was on the golf course during the Bronco game,
• 7:07
  Speaker 1: so I probably didn't get enough Bizzy win in a
• 7:10
  Speaker 1: golf tournament watching it on my phone. The speaker. I
• 7:15
  Speaker 1: went home and rewatch all the thing got got done
• 7:17
  Speaker 1: right about the time of the interception.
• 7:20
  Speaker 5: This Didham interception that and stickam pronoun Stickham Jared Jared
• 7:26
  Speaker 5: Stickham stuck him right in uh, you know, Gonzo's hands
• 7:30
  Speaker 5: and that one.
• 7:30
  Speaker 1: But yeah, it was a it was a great day,
• 7:33
  Speaker 1: I mean, great day of football all the way around.
• 7:35
  Speaker 1: Just just didn't typical for me, just didn't work out
• 7:37
  Speaker 1: the way that I won.
• 7:38
  Speaker 2: It typical lately. Uh yeah, that's that's a strange stretch
• 7:42
  Speaker 2: that you're fix it by spring. I will I'm already.
• 7:45
  Speaker 1: And as you can see it on my shirt, I'm
• 7:47
  Speaker 1: already in baseball season.
• 7:49
  Speaker 2: Yeah, let's get that fixed before the baseball season starts. Well,
• 7:53
  Speaker 2: good morning to you all. I hope you had a
• 7:55
  Speaker 2: blast with it. My goodness, Uh, what a game that was.
• 7:59
  Speaker 2: That was just so entertaining. Matthew Stafford is phenomenal, and
• 8:05
  Speaker 2: yet Sam Donald the oft criticized even right here in Seattle,
• 8:10
  Speaker 2: ginger bearded quarterback went out there the game was basically
• 8:15
  Speaker 2: handed over to him, despite the fact that he hardly
• 8:18
  Speaker 2: practiced it all this week to protect that oblique situation,
• 8:22
  Speaker 2: and he just went out there and bawled. I mean,
• 8:25
  Speaker 2: he played one of the best games, if not the
• 8:28
  Speaker 2: best game, of his career in that contest. Last night.
• 8:32
  Speaker 2: Mike McDonald went as far as saying that it was
• 8:35
  Speaker 2: one of the great games in the history of the
• 8:38
  Speaker 2: National Football League that he put out there individually and
• 8:42
  Speaker 2: even called out his critics, hoping that the performance by
• 8:47
  Speaker 2: Sam Donald has been enough to shut up a bunch
• 8:50
  Speaker 2: of those critics that even though he had a very
• 8:52
  Speaker 2: small sample size, he'd not proven that he could win
• 8:55
  Speaker 2: the big one. I mean, that's about as well as
• 8:57
  Speaker 2: you can play the position. I think, like one or
• 9:00
  Speaker 2: two one and a half balls in Harm's way. But
• 9:05
  Speaker 2: other than that, I mean, Matthew Stafford was balling out
• 9:09
  Speaker 2: last night, and Sam Donald might very well have outplayed
• 9:12
  Speaker 2: him in that game, and that that's just something special
• 9:17
  Speaker 2: that we got to see from number fourteen last night.
• 9:19
  Speaker 1: I mean, if there's still anybody that's a detractor of
• 9:22
  Speaker 1: Sam Donald, then they just that you just need to
• 9:25
  Speaker 1: put the hater aid down. I mean, if that was
• 9:27
  Speaker 1: a masterful performance, you needed every you You couldn't have
• 9:31
  Speaker 1: gotten away with one turnover, right, I Mean we've talked
• 9:34
  Speaker 1: about the first game and how he threw four and
• 9:36
  Speaker 1: you're like, man, if it was just three or two,
• 9:38
  Speaker 1: maybe that would have worked out, you know, And then
• 9:41
  Speaker 1: you know the second game, the way in which he
• 9:44
  Speaker 1: came back with all the things that had to happen
• 9:47
  Speaker 1: and led that one in when Matthew Stafford and the
• 9:50
  Speaker 1: Rams were putting up crazy numbers. It's it's pretty remarkable
• 9:55
  Speaker 1: for him to come out there and to have his
• 9:57
  Speaker 1: biggest game, in the biggest moment, to lead the team
• 9:59
  Speaker 1: there when obviously in the building, they've heard the detractors,
• 10:03
  Speaker 1: They've heard the people say, ah, remember what he did
• 10:06
  Speaker 1: last year in the playoffs. You know he was hearing
• 10:08
  Speaker 1: that is the number one seed. There's still people wanting
• 10:11
  Speaker 1: to doubt, and I get you can have a debate
• 10:13
  Speaker 1: about it. But the idea of if you just want
• 10:16
  Speaker 1: to stand on it and say, nap, he just doesn't
• 10:18
  Speaker 1: have what it takes. You're just stuck in whatever year
• 10:21
  Speaker 1: it was he was drafted by the Jets, You're just
• 10:23
  Speaker 1: stuck in that year.
• 10:23
  Speaker 2: You need to get over it.
• 10:24
  Speaker 1: Because he's led two teams in the last two years,
• 10:28
  Speaker 1: two different teams, two great performances during the regular season,
• 10:32
  Speaker 1: fell short obviously with Minnesota last year, but has done
• 10:35
  Speaker 1: nothing but perform like an All Star. I mean, for
• 10:38
  Speaker 1: these couple of games in the postseason here and you're right,
• 10:40
  Speaker 1: I mean he went against Matthew Stafford and Sean McVay,
• 10:44
  Speaker 1: who they had some shoot themselves in the foot moments
• 10:47
  Speaker 1: throughout the game. That kind of helped here. But Sam
• 10:50
  Speaker 1: Donald did everything he could have been asked to do.
• 10:52
  Speaker 1: He went out there, protected the ball, he delivered to
• 10:54
  Speaker 1: the right people on time, how he always talks about,
• 10:57
  Speaker 1: and led the team to the super Bowl. I mean,
• 10:58
  Speaker 1: it's you got to tip your captain, Sam Donald. If
• 11:01
  Speaker 1: you don't, then you just don't like gingers. And that's
• 11:03
  Speaker 1: on it.
• 11:03
  Speaker 3: Yeah, It's almost like the people that said he couldn't
• 11:06
  Speaker 3: win in the playoffs were premature, given that he'd only
• 11:11
  Speaker 3: had one playoff game he played in before this year.
• 11:17
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean weird, and I really think I mean,
• 11:20
  Speaker 2: I know the turnover issue, and it's we're not done
• 11:22
  Speaker 2: with it. I mean, we've got two weeks of preparation
• 11:25
  Speaker 2: for the super Bowl. So you know that this is
• 11:28
  Speaker 2: gonna be a topic that's discussed in every single market
• 11:31
  Speaker 2: about the Super Bowl game that there is, because those
• 11:34
  Speaker 2: are gonna be people that haven't watched Sam Donald play
• 11:37
  Speaker 2: as much football as we have here in Seattle, and
• 11:39
  Speaker 2: so they're just automatically gonna go to Well, I still
• 11:42
  Speaker 2: he's still got to I even heard it this morning
• 11:44
  Speaker 2: on the drive in I'm still not convinced he's got
• 11:47
  Speaker 2: one more game to win, Like if he plays a
• 11:49
  Speaker 2: bad game in the Super Bowl that see, Yeah, the
• 11:53
  Speaker 2: familiar keeping that in their back pocket just in case
• 11:56
  Speaker 2: he throws one interception in the Super Bowl and they
• 11:58
  Speaker 2: lose by a point, then we can blame it on
• 12:01
  Speaker 2: Sam Darnold for that. But I think one of I mean,
• 12:04
  Speaker 2: it's very obvious that he did commit turnovers this year,
• 12:09
  Speaker 2: more so than anybody else in the National Football League
• 12:12
  Speaker 2: at his position. But I think the reason that he
• 12:16
  Speaker 2: did is because of that confidence that he plays with.
• 12:18
  Speaker 2: And maybe he shouldn't have had that confidence, you know,
• 12:22
  Speaker 2: considering the failures that he's had during his young NFL career.
• 12:27
  Speaker 2: I mean, I saw a guy that just went out there,
• 12:29
  Speaker 2: he'd make a mistake and then the very next time
• 12:31
  Speaker 2: he was asked to throw it would just rip it. Yeah,
• 12:33
  Speaker 2: And to me, that's probably what gets him in trouble.
• 12:37
  Speaker 2: That's probably why he does commit a few more turnovers.
• 12:40
  Speaker 2: You know, I'm going to try to fit it in there.
• 12:41
  Speaker 2: Brett Farve used to do the same thing with the
• 12:44
  Speaker 2: Green Bay Packers, But it was that confidence that he exudes,
• 12:49
  Speaker 2: even if it does bel his statistical history, that confidence
• 12:55
  Speaker 2: that he exudes and has ever since he put a
• 12:59
  Speaker 2: Seahawk uniform on. That's how you show up in an
• 13:03
  Speaker 2: NFC Conference championship game against the league's MVP, who also
• 13:07
  Speaker 2: played a great game last night, and you outplay him
• 13:11
  Speaker 2: throw for throw during the contest. If he doesn't have
• 13:15
  Speaker 2: that confidence that, if hadn't carried the day for him
• 13:18
  Speaker 2: all season long, he can't play that well and that
• 13:21
  Speaker 2: on that stage in that big of a game last night.
• 13:24
  Speaker 2: So thank god Sam Donold thinks and approaches the game
• 13:27
  Speaker 2: the way that he does. We're going to the super
• 13:29
  Speaker 2: Bowl because of it.
• 13:30
  Speaker 1: Well, thank god I do the show with you two,
• 13:32
  Speaker 1: because there's there's some people that if I did the
• 13:35
  Speaker 1: show with I would I would want to fight, or
• 13:38
  Speaker 1: I would want to quit or strangle myself, possibly because
• 13:42
  Speaker 1: you guys actually get the idea of no one's perfect,
• 13:46
  Speaker 1: and yet the idea of the mentality you have to
• 13:48
  Speaker 1: have as a professional athlete. You're out there in the
• 13:50
  Speaker 1: arena with all the lights on you, and you are
• 13:53
  Speaker 1: putting yourself or you're well, you're putting your body at risk,
• 13:57
  Speaker 1: but more so just the idea of you could fail
• 14:00
  Speaker 1: in front of everyone and be the goat. Everybody could
• 14:02
  Speaker 1: be looking at you like boo, you just ruined all
• 14:05
  Speaker 1: my rooting interests. And Sam Donald doesn't he It's not
• 14:10
  Speaker 1: like he's not aware of it. Every pro athlete is
• 14:12
  Speaker 1: aware of Boy, if I screw up, I'm gonna hear
• 14:14
  Speaker 1: about it. I'm gonna feel it. I'm gonna know that
• 14:16
  Speaker 1: I let down a region of the country. And yet,
• 14:20
  Speaker 1: as a quarterback with all the pressure, right, I mean,
• 14:22
  Speaker 1: you're gonna throw the ball whatever five hundred times, You're
• 14:25
  Speaker 1: gonna throw some to the other team. You're gonna throw
• 14:27
  Speaker 1: some to your team that go off their hands and
• 14:29
  Speaker 1: the other team catches it. You're gonna get hit and fumble.
• 14:33
  Speaker 1: And yet if you think about what has happened, then
• 14:35
  Speaker 1: negative has happened. It will most certainly be counterproductive towards
• 14:39
  Speaker 1: you moving towards where you want to go. And yeah,
• 14:42
  Speaker 1: you're right. I think Sam Donald has learned from all
• 14:46
  Speaker 1: of his years of playing. But he got a giant
• 14:48
  Speaker 1: spoonful of this when he burst on the scene at
• 14:51
  Speaker 1: twenty years old with the New York Jets of this
• 14:54
  Speaker 1: game's not real easy and everything you've done up to
• 14:56
  Speaker 1: this point means nothing. When you get to the NFL
• 14:59
  Speaker 1: if you don't perform here, and he didn't perform to
• 15:02
  Speaker 1: the point where he got to keep a job, but
• 15:05
  Speaker 1: not a starting job, and then worked his ass off
• 15:08
  Speaker 1: to get back to where somebody believed he would have. Hey,
• 15:11
  Speaker 1: we want to bring you in just in case of
• 15:13
  Speaker 1: an injury. Boom, all of a sudden, the injury happens
• 15:15
  Speaker 1: to starting quarterback in Minnesota. He gets the opportunity, leads
• 15:18
  Speaker 1: that team to the playoffs, and then has a rough
• 15:21
  Speaker 1: outing against this Rams team, and he was pressured, and
• 15:25
  Speaker 1: Hugh Millen said, I would be hard pressed to think
• 15:27
  Speaker 1: any quarterback wouldn't go out there and flounder and fail
• 15:29
  Speaker 1: in that situation. He rebounds from that in getting a
• 15:33
  Speaker 1: contract to come here and does nothing but have a
• 15:36
  Speaker 1: couple bad games or one real bad game, have some
• 15:39
  Speaker 1: other games where you have some turnovers, and yet still
• 15:41
  Speaker 1: leads a team to the number one seed, and then
• 15:43
  Speaker 1: goes bang bang and plays near perfect yesterday against the MVP,
• 15:48
  Speaker 1: against a team that was doing some really good things
• 15:51
  Speaker 1: against a really good defense, and he says, that's fine,
• 15:54
  Speaker 1: I will match it. That little spurt when they went touchdown, touchdown, touchdown, touchdown,
• 15:58
  Speaker 1: when he just kept answering the fact that Matt Stafford
• 16:01
  Speaker 1: and Sean McVay were not going to be denied. They
• 16:03
  Speaker 1: were gonna go down to score, and he's like, all right,
• 16:05
  Speaker 1: I can keep pace with this. He did that. I mean,
• 16:07
  Speaker 1: it's he is to some degree. You were talking about
• 16:10
  Speaker 1: the chip on the shoulder if he has one. He
• 16:12
  Speaker 1: doesn't act like he has one. And yet he plays
• 16:15
  Speaker 1: like I'm gonna go show everybody what I am actually
• 16:17
  Speaker 1: capable of.
• 16:17
  Speaker 2: Very impressed.
• 16:18
  Speaker 3: I think that's a good way to put it, because yeah,
• 16:19
  Speaker 3: he does play like he has one, but does he
• 16:21
  Speaker 3: just I mean, even at the end they of the game,
• 16:24
  Speaker 3: they asked him something about, you know, all the people
• 16:27
  Speaker 3: that haven't believed in him or whatever. He's like, I
• 16:29
  Speaker 3: don't care about that. I'm I just come to work
• 16:31
  Speaker 3: every day. This is my team. We've been working hard
• 16:33
  Speaker 3: since April. Like he just shoves it aside. Yeah that's awesome.
• 16:38
  Speaker 2: Yeah, well it is Monday morning, quarterbacks, so our I mean,
• 16:42
  Speaker 2: we we'll discuss of certainly the quarterbacks with our quarterbacks
• 16:45
  Speaker 2: during the course of the show today. Both Darnold and Stafford,
• 16:49
  Speaker 2: who were very impressive on the flip side of it,
• 16:53
  Speaker 2: Rake Woland breathing a sigh of relief. And yet Xavier
• 16:58
  Speaker 2: Smith on the Rams side not so much today. But
• 17:01
  Speaker 2: I kind of feel like that cancels each other out.
• 17:04
  Speaker 2: Xavier Smith's bonhetted play of not you know, fielding the
• 17:09
  Speaker 2: punt which set the Seahawks up for a score. But
• 17:13
  Speaker 2: then Rieke Woland I thought the game was over, and
• 17:16
  Speaker 2: Riek Woland just decided, na, Na, that's not interesting enough.
• 17:20
  Speaker 2: Let's just open the door up for the Rams to
• 17:23
  Speaker 2: come back. That's how awful that decision was for him
• 17:29
  Speaker 2: to go taunt the other sideline. I mean, if you
• 17:32
  Speaker 2: stand up after a play like that and in the
• 17:35
  Speaker 2: immediate reaction, maybe you stand over someone or you get
• 17:39
  Speaker 2: too emotional, maybe I can understand that. But he had
• 17:42
  Speaker 2: time to talk himself out of going over to the sideline.
• 17:46
  Speaker 2: And there are some people saying they shouldn't have thrown
• 17:48
  Speaker 2: the flag in that situation. Man, he didn't make it
• 17:52
  Speaker 2: easy for the officials either. He just like kind of
• 17:55
  Speaker 2: went down the entire row like I'm gonna keep doing
• 17:58
  Speaker 2: this until somethingy throws a flag. That's how it felt.
• 18:01
  Speaker 2: I know that's not what he was thinking.
• 18:03
  Speaker 3: Well, they said somebody had said that they had told
• 18:05
  Speaker 3: him enough and he just kept going and that's when
• 18:08
  Speaker 3: he got the penalty.
• 18:09
  Speaker 2: I mean, and we've dealt with it all season long,
• 18:11
  Speaker 2: and so I love that emon Wore got in his ass,
• 18:14
  Speaker 2: and I understand that Ernest Jones was like, hey man,
• 18:17
  Speaker 2: he knows, he knows that you could read his lips.
• 18:20
  Speaker 2: And Ernest Jones a great leader and he and I
• 18:23
  Speaker 2: love that there were guys to calm it down. But
• 18:25
  Speaker 2: somebody should have gotten in that ass during the course
• 18:30
  Speaker 2: of the season, all the numerous times we talked about
• 18:33
  Speaker 2: it on Monday, his silliness, selfishness, and everything else that
• 18:37
  Speaker 2: he plays with. I mean, you didn't even make the interception.
• 18:40
  Speaker 2: If you would have made the interception, go taunt, because
• 18:43
  Speaker 2: it would have been worth the fifteen yards at that stage,
• 18:46
  Speaker 2: but you gave them the first down. The game was
• 18:50
  Speaker 2: pretty much over, and Riek Wollen decided to open it up.
• 18:54
  Speaker 2: And since that time he's admitted it and confessed it
• 18:57
  Speaker 2: and everything else, and all of his teammates and coaches
• 19:00
  Speaker 2: have had his back and what you know, what have you?
• 19:03
  Speaker 2: But my goodness, that could have been a historically horrible
• 19:09
  Speaker 2: situation for equal He would have never been forgiven here
• 19:12
  Speaker 2: in Seattle. No, and it felt like that.
• 19:14
  Speaker 1: I mean it was I think it was Fain sent
• 19:16
  Speaker 1: a text out of the that was the opposite of
• 19:19
  Speaker 1: the feeling in the stadium as to when Rashid Shaheed
• 19:23
  Speaker 1: returned the punt back or the kickoff back last week.
• 19:28
  Speaker 1: It's the opposite of what you did to the fans,
• 19:30
  Speaker 1: like the feel of the game, like what you just
• 19:34
  Speaker 1: gave them life again, it was You're right, it felt
• 19:36
  Speaker 1: like that was the biggest play up to that point,
• 19:39
  Speaker 1: was the stop there, and you're like, oh my god,
• 19:41
  Speaker 1: we got the lead. They're gonna have to punish the
• 19:43
  Speaker 1: ball though, Oh my god, and then all of a
• 19:45
  Speaker 1: sudden you decide that you just can't do. The main
• 19:49
  Speaker 1: thing that I think Mike McDonald does. He talks about,
• 19:52
  Speaker 1: you know who you're gonna get when you play against
• 19:54
  Speaker 1: the Seahawks. You're gonna get eleven that plays one, and
• 19:57
  Speaker 1: then some requel in attitude on top of it. It's like, dude,
• 20:00
  Speaker 1: as far as I'm concerned, it's it's selfish. Yes, it's
• 20:05
  Speaker 1: uh lack of awareness maybe, but it's there's stupidity involved.
• 20:11
  Speaker 1: You can't say, well, it's an NFC Championship game. I
• 20:14
  Speaker 1: thought they would let me get away with it. You
• 20:16
  Speaker 1: just walk down the entire side, and it was when
• 20:18
  Speaker 1: you started going. If you would have kept jabbing or
• 20:22
  Speaker 1: jacking your jaws as you're walking away, they do tend
• 20:26
  Speaker 1: to let that go a little more. You will start
• 20:28
  Speaker 1: walking towards them, towards Matt Stafford, towards the coach. You're
• 20:32
  Speaker 1: gonna get the penalty. It's not your first time, you
• 20:35
  Speaker 1: know what I mean. It's like, oh wow, if I
• 20:36
  Speaker 1: got my first speeding ticket for going seven over the
• 20:38
  Speaker 1: speed line. No, this is your eighteenth time.
• 20:42
  Speaker 2: You know what the rules are. A breathalyzer in the car, Yeah,
• 20:45
  Speaker 2: you have a blowing go out loud yeah.
• 20:47
  Speaker 6: Uh.
• 20:48
  Speaker 1: He needs a mouthpiece that just covers his whole face
• 20:52
  Speaker 1: like everything, you know, like a mask, like a seapap
• 20:55
  Speaker 1: mask where he can't talk through it, like a mask.
• 20:59
  Speaker 1: Yeah yeah, just no sound can come out of it to.
• 21:04
  Speaker 4: Scoop.
• 21:05
  Speaker 2: Yes, yeah, something like that. There's a couple of other things.
• 21:09
  Speaker 2: I mean, we'll get to, of course with our experts,
• 21:11
  Speaker 2: but I just got to point out in the first segment,
• 21:13
  Speaker 2: this is our one chance to analyze. I mean, the
• 21:15
  Speaker 2: back to back pass breakups by Devin Witherspoon will live
• 21:20
  Speaker 2: forever in Seahawk's history. Just phenomenal that stand and him,
• 21:24
  Speaker 2: He's just a ferocious competitor. And then the Cooper Cup
• 21:28
  Speaker 2: first down. I mean the fact, I mean, everybody talks
• 21:32
  Speaker 2: about how smart he is, the fact that he held
• 21:34
  Speaker 2: that ball over his head, because what would you do.
• 21:37
  Speaker 2: You would tuck it to make sure you don't fumble
• 21:39
  Speaker 2: Cooper Cups, like the first downs so important. I am
• 21:43
  Speaker 2: going to vice script this thing. I am going to
• 21:46
  Speaker 2: get the ball over my head and it might not
• 21:49
  Speaker 2: have been a first down, but there was no chance
• 21:52
  Speaker 2: if he tucks it in under his arm that it's
• 21:54
  Speaker 2: a first down. To realize that this is going to
• 21:57
  Speaker 2: be close, I have to get the ball above my
• 22:01
  Speaker 2: head as high as I can go if I'm going
• 22:04
  Speaker 2: to move these chains right now. That was remarkable. Yeah,
• 22:10
  Speaker 2: what he did in that moment, and he did hit
• 22:12
  Speaker 2: the ground and the ball spilled loose. He knew he
• 22:14
  Speaker 2: was going to sacrifice some grip on that ball, but
• 22:17
  Speaker 2: he had just enough that he got the first down.
• 22:20
  Speaker 2: Move the chains. Maybe you don't win if he doesn't
• 22:23
  Speaker 2: make that play. Let's find out what's on tap on
• 22:28
  Speaker 2: chucking bu what's on tap, what's on tepright, you know
• 22:32
  Speaker 2: how we're gonna do it. Monday morning Quarterback Today. Greg

  Speaker 2: so we will discuss every aspect of this and look
• 24:06
  Speaker 2: forward a little bit to the Super Bowl as well.
• 24:10
  Speaker 2: After yesterday's thirty one twenty seven win over the Los
• 24:13
  Speaker 2: Angeles Rams, there's so many nitty gritty things about this.
• 24:16
  Speaker 2: I wanted to squeeze the spoon. I mean, shouldn't have
• 24:19
  Speaker 2: to squeeze that in Those were major, major defensive plays
• 24:23
  Speaker 2: that he made, and Cupp might have had the play
• 24:26
  Speaker 2: of the game stretching it above his head. But there's
• 24:29
  Speaker 2: so many other things to discuss about it. I was
• 24:31
  Speaker 2: just writing down in my notes to ask Greg and
• 24:35
  Speaker 2: Hugh later. Emon Warri's I'm going to take this drive
• 24:39
  Speaker 2: over at the end of the first half where the
• 24:42
  Speaker 2: Rams had the ball and all the momentum in the world,
• 24:45
  Speaker 2: and they were getting ready to go in at halftime,
• 24:47
  Speaker 2: and we knew that the Seahawks were going to get
• 24:48
  Speaker 2: the ball in the second half, and so the Rams
• 24:51
  Speaker 2: probably needed to be very careful not to give him
• 24:53
  Speaker 2: the ball back, not to give him any points since
• 24:55
  Speaker 2: the Seahawks are getting it to start the second half.
• 24:57
  Speaker 2: And Emon Warry was just like, I'm going to make
• 25:00
  Speaker 2: every single play. You're not getting a first down, not
• 25:03
  Speaker 2: on my watch. I mean, he broke up back to
• 25:05
  Speaker 2: back passes to two different one was to Nakua and
• 25:10
  Speaker 2: then the other one was to a running back coming
• 25:12
  Speaker 2: out of the backfield. It was one of those Emon
• 25:15
  Speaker 2: worri Is everywhere right now. Got the ball back after
• 25:19
  Speaker 2: just three plays, including stopping the clock twice, got it
• 25:23
  Speaker 2: back with fifty four seconds three timeouts to go. And
• 25:26
  Speaker 2: not only did you get points on the board in
• 25:27
  Speaker 2: the first half, you scored a touchdown before halftime. Monstrous bucket.
• 25:32
  Speaker 1: Monstrous, Yeah, I mean you basically allowed you. Sean McVeigh
• 25:38
  Speaker 1: got a little aggressive with trying to pay if you
• 25:40
  Speaker 1: just run one of those plays and let the clock
• 25:43
  Speaker 1: go down, because you got to think about. Okay, yeah,
• 25:45
  Speaker 1: we want to go get points, and you still have
• 25:47
  Speaker 1: fifty yards or so that you got to get to
• 25:49
  Speaker 1: to at least get a field goal. But you got
• 25:52
  Speaker 1: real aggressive there and threw the ball twice, and even
• 25:55
  Speaker 1: Worry is just like, yeah, I'm different, Yeah, differently.
• 25:59
  Speaker 2: I'm fast and I'm long, and I'm physical.
• 26:02
  Speaker 1: I can cover your best receiver or your shiftiest running
• 26:06
  Speaker 1: back coming out of the backfield, whatever, bring it on here.
• 26:09
  Speaker 1: And yeah, you basically played into the defense's hands, and
• 26:12
  Speaker 1: Emon Worri stepped up and made a couple of spectacular
• 26:16
  Speaker 1: plays there that then all of a sudden allowed the
• 26:18
  Speaker 1: Seahawks to get that huge I mean, one of the
• 26:21
  Speaker 1: more tide turning plays or possessions for sure of the game.
• 26:26
  Speaker 1: The fact that, like you said, they go down and
• 26:27
  Speaker 1: get seven and then get the ball half.
• 26:30
  Speaker 2: I've just just a message to everybody out there that
• 26:32
  Speaker 2: is going to start covering that's going to start paying
• 26:34
  Speaker 2: attention to Seahawks football now nationally, that we're gonna have
• 26:37
  Speaker 2: to deal with when we go to the Super Bowl
• 26:39
  Speaker 2: next week. This is no fluke. You're now realizing how
• 26:44
  Speaker 2: many outstanding players John Schneider has added to this roster
• 26:48
  Speaker 2: over the last few years. And let me tell you,
• 26:51
  Speaker 2: as good as Sam Darnold was last night, as good
• 26:53
  Speaker 2: as Emon Worri was last night, I mean, as good
• 26:55
  Speaker 2: as Witherspoon was last night. Is JSN not the most unbelievable?
• 27:02
  Speaker 2: Kuka Nakua is phenomenal and JSN I'll played.
• 27:06
  Speaker 3: Him last one handed grab that he's unreal. It was
• 27:10
  Speaker 3: just so like calm and.
• 27:12
  Speaker 2: Well that's yeah, that's part of his game too.
• 27:15
  Speaker 3: It was that was just insane to watch.
• 27:16
  Speaker 2: He is so so good, so good. Ten catches last night,
• 27:21
  Speaker 2: one hundred and fifty three yards thirty one twenty seven
• 27:25
  Speaker 2: the final score. The Seahawks win over the Rams, and
• 27:27
  Speaker 2: it's on to the Super Bowl.
• 27:30
  Speaker 1: Now.
• 27:30
  Speaker 2: This is the final Cold Turkey Sandwich because we won't
• 27:33
  Speaker 2: even use that name next year.
• 27:36
  Speaker 3: Oh yeah, we won't really.
• 27:37
  Speaker 2: Done us well though. Thank you, thank you to the
• 27:39
  Speaker 2: person that recommended Cold Turkey Sandwich. A board of scores
• 27:44
  Speaker 2: and there's only one other score, and we should spend
• 27:46
  Speaker 2: some time on it here today. Patriots winning ten to
• 27:49
  Speaker 2: seven over the Denver Broncos, a second half that was
• 27:53
  Speaker 2: played entirely in blizzard conditions, and Bucky Kurt Warner and
• 28:00
  Speaker 2: many others don't want to see this game played, that
• 28:04
  Speaker 2: they wanted to start going to neutral sites so that
• 28:07
  Speaker 2: we don't decide games this way. But there's no doubt
• 28:10
  Speaker 2: that it was hard to do anything in that second half.
• 28:13
  Speaker 2: And Sean Payton was kicking himself afterwards of not taking
• 28:17
  Speaker 2: points in the first half because he knew that the
• 28:21
  Speaker 2: weather was coming and for whatever reason, he decided to
• 28:25
  Speaker 2: go for it on a fourth and one with a
• 28:27
  Speaker 2: backup quarterback, and that could have been the difference in
• 28:30
  Speaker 2: the game.
• 28:30
  Speaker 1: Yeah, fourth and one inside the five, Okay, go ahead,
• 28:33
  Speaker 1: because you really you're one sack away from maybe getting
• 28:35
  Speaker 1: some points from your defense. And you're I mean, but
• 28:38
  Speaker 1: that was like at the fourteen yard line. I thought
• 28:40
  Speaker 1: at the time, you're up seven zip. Make it two scores,
• 28:44
  Speaker 1: make it ten zip. Especially knowing I mean, I'm not
• 28:47
  Speaker 1: I'm not the head coach of the team.
• 28:49
  Speaker 2: I don't have.
• 28:50
  Speaker 1: Anything to do with any decisions or made. And yet
• 28:53
  Speaker 1: I knew there's some serious weather coming in at some
• 28:56
  Speaker 1: point in time in this game. Yeah, and so every
• 28:58
  Speaker 1: point stack the points. I get it that you're like, yeah,
• 29:01
  Speaker 1: maybe getting fourteen here, but it's like if you get
• 29:04
  Speaker 1: the one yard You're not guaranteed you're going to get seven.
• 29:08
  Speaker 1: You know, like if it's fourth and one at the
• 29:10
  Speaker 1: fourth and one on the you know one yard line,
• 29:12
  Speaker 1: where it's like we get this or we pin them
• 29:14
  Speaker 1: inside the one yard line. No, it's you still have
• 29:16
  Speaker 1: another ten yards to get to me. That was a mistake.
• 29:19
  Speaker 1: I think he should have stacked points. And that's not
• 29:21
  Speaker 1: in hindsight. That was at the moment when I'm sitting
• 29:23
  Speaker 1: there watching, I'm like, whoa, come on, man, I just
• 29:26
  Speaker 1: thought that it was it was a bad play, and
• 29:29
  Speaker 1: obviously in hindsight now it looks like it was a
• 29:31
  Speaker 1: horrible decision on his part.
• 29:32
  Speaker 2: But I think I think he thought to himself that
• 29:37
  Speaker 2: he's going they're going to sell out so much on
• 29:39
  Speaker 2: the run because I have a backup quarterback in the
• 29:42
  Speaker 2: game right now. And they didn't. I mean they that
• 29:45
  Speaker 2: cup that play was blanketed by the Patriots.
• 29:48
  Speaker 1: Yeah, he had Stipton didn't have a chance. No, he
• 29:51
  Speaker 1: had two guys that just were jail break right up
• 29:54
  Speaker 1: the middle. So he's running for his life. And then
• 29:55
  Speaker 1: the one outlet that he had had you know, two
• 29:58
  Speaker 1: guys right there too. I think they're there was one
• 30:00
  Speaker 1: guy and that when I watched it on replay, there
• 30:02
  Speaker 1: was one guy that if you have a little bit
• 30:04
  Speaker 1: more reps, that was going the opposite direction, like a
• 30:07
  Speaker 1: little short pass where everybody's flowing to the one side,
• 30:09
  Speaker 1: and he if he would have seen that, maybe he
• 30:11
  Speaker 1: could have completed that one.
• 30:12
  Speaker 2: But it would have been a great play.
• 30:13
  Speaker 3: Well, yeah, that's it didn't make It comes with experience, too,
• 30:16
  Speaker 3: write and he didn't have a lot of that.
• 30:17
  Speaker 2: No, Hick Drake may had only eighty six yards passing
• 30:21
  Speaker 2: in the game, but his sixty five yards rushing ended
• 30:25
  Speaker 2: up being the difference ended up being just enough for
• 30:28
  Speaker 2: New England to win by a final score of ten
• 30:30
  Speaker 2: to seven. So it's the Patriots, the new look Patriots,
• 30:33
  Speaker 2: the Mike Rabel Patriots who are returning to the Super
• 30:38
  Speaker 2: Bowl with a ten to seven win, well coached team.
• 30:42
  Speaker 1: That's a I mean, that's one where we were talking
• 30:44
  Speaker 1: about JSN and how awesome he is, and yet Tom
• 30:48
  Speaker 1: Brady was like, h Jsn's in the backfield, he's the
• 30:51
  Speaker 1: primary receiver here. And then like that one touchdown, the
• 30:54
  Speaker 1: one that before the half he kind of called it
• 30:56
  Speaker 1: and he got he's wide open. Yeah, that's a that's
• 30:59
  Speaker 1: a Mike McDonald does not will not have that happen
• 31:03
  Speaker 1: on his defense, where the primary guy, the guy that
• 31:05
  Speaker 1: you can't leave wide open, is wide open. It'll be
• 31:08
  Speaker 1: interesting to see how Mike Rabel does against against the Seahawks,
• 31:14
  Speaker 1: because I have a feeling there's gonna be two weeks
• 31:16
  Speaker 1: of preparation, like, yeah, we're gonna probably watch that number
• 31:18
  Speaker 1: eleven fella, and when he's in the backfield, we're gonna
• 31:21
  Speaker 1: make sure we have at least one guy on him,
• 31:24
  Speaker 1: at least close to him. Yeah, because he's very aware.
• 31:27
  Speaker 1: I mean, it's it's a well coached team. The Patriots are.
• 31:30
  Speaker 2: No question, no doubt about it. And there is your
• 31:33
  Speaker 2: Super Bowl matchup. And of course here at kh A
• 31:36
  Speaker 2: R we're sending down the sending down the cruise. We'll
• 31:40
  Speaker 2: be down there next Sunday night. So our shows next
• 31:43
  Speaker 2: Monday will be from San Francisco as we get ready
• 31:48
  Speaker 2: for the Super Bowl, and we of course have our
• 31:51
  Speaker 2: experts joining us a little bit later on Hugh Mellon,
• 31:53
  Speaker 2: Mike Holmgren, Greg Bell, and of course coach Bucky as well.
• 31:57
  Speaker 2: We got to get his thoughts, what would he have
• 31:59
  Speaker 2: done differently as somebody that has coached every sport as
• 32:03
  Speaker 2: every level throughout his life. It's chalking back in the
• 32:06
  Speaker 2: morning Sports Radio ninety three point three kJ RFM, Hugh
• 32:09
  Speaker 2: Millen for two hours today from eight to ten, Mike
• 32:12
  Speaker 2: Holmgrian from nine to ten, and of course coach Bucky
• 32:15
  Speaker 2: as well, the fourth and not to be forgotten experts. Yeah,
• 32:18
  Speaker 2: I would hope not.
• 32:19
  Speaker 1: I mean I've coached all those guys as well.
• 32:21
  Speaker 2: Yeah. Remember when you coached Hugh when he was coming up.
• 32:24
  Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, pee Wee's boy. He had a little bit
• 32:27
  Speaker 1: of an attitude problem, but take that out then, Yeah,
• 32:30
  Speaker 1: a couple of laps, some burpies and whipped him right
• 32:34
  Speaker 1: back into shape. Homegron, on the other hand, he was
• 32:36
  Speaker 1: a tough egg to crack. Yeah, very really strong minded, stubborn. Yeah,
• 32:41
  Speaker 1: kind of a back talker.
• 32:42
  Speaker 3: He's so like he doesn't have a lot of respect
• 32:45
  Speaker 3: for you, which is.
• 32:46
  Speaker 1: No, no, no, no, you're reading that wrong. Oh okay,
• 32:49
  Speaker 1: reading that wrong.
• 32:50
  Speaker 2: Okay. He got that horse in line. Yeah, yeah, Well,
• 32:55
  Speaker 2: should Mike McDonald deserve on this day of Mike McDonald
• 32:59
  Speaker 2: praise a little criticism Coach Bucky speaking of people keeping
• 33:03
  Speaker 2: people in line, he's had this Woolen issue all year long.
• 33:06
  Speaker 2: How does Rieke Wolan not know never to do that again,
• 33:10
  Speaker 2: especially in that moment? Is that coaching Should Mike McDonald
• 33:14
  Speaker 2: have made a bigger example out of him during the
• 33:16
  Speaker 2: regular season for similar crimes.
• 33:18
  Speaker 1: Well, I don't know for sure if it's a If
• 33:21
  Speaker 1: it's a situation that's done, I would be willing to
• 33:24
  Speaker 1: bet that Mike McDonald that there is a finality to
• 33:28
  Speaker 1: that situation handled soon. I mean sometime between the end
• 33:33
  Speaker 1: of the super Bowl and the beginning of next season,
• 33:36
  Speaker 1: because I think that he most certainly has had the
• 33:39
  Speaker 1: conversations the little bit that we've got to talk to
• 33:41
  Speaker 1: Mike McDonald. He seems like a guy that is very
• 33:45
  Speaker 1: much So. I'm here for you. I'm on your team, right,
• 33:48
  Speaker 1: I'm here to lead you to be the best version
• 33:50
  Speaker 1: of yourself as a person and as a football player.
• 33:53
  Speaker 1: And yet, in order for you to become the best
• 33:56
  Speaker 1: version of yourself, you've got to commit to being just
• 33:59
  Speaker 1: part of the team. And that means making good plays
• 34:03
  Speaker 1: and not making bonehead plays. Right, it's not the mistakes
• 34:06
  Speaker 1: part of it is not the issue. Everybody's in. They're humans,
• 34:09
  Speaker 1: so they're gonna make mistakes, but to have your head up,
• 34:12
  Speaker 1: you know where is a totally different thing. And so
• 34:15
  Speaker 1: I'm sure he's had the conversations and it's just falling
• 34:17
  Speaker 1: on deaf ears at this point. I think it's one
• 34:20
  Speaker 1: of those he and Schneider will talk and he will
• 34:23
  Speaker 1: be like, find out what you can get for him,
• 34:25
  Speaker 1: because you.
• 34:26
  Speaker 2: Know he's gone, He's going to be a free agent
• 34:27
  Speaker 2: at the end of this year.
• 34:28
  Speaker 1: Okay, well then it's I don't think it's a I think.
• 34:32
  Speaker 2: I don't think that they will.
• 34:33
  Speaker 1: I think that there's too because, like I said, I
• 34:35
  Speaker 1: just think there's been too many conversations behind closed doors
• 34:39
  Speaker 1: of dude, you've got to straighten this up. I mean,
• 34:41
  Speaker 1: you know that you can't stand over a guy when
• 34:44
  Speaker 1: all you did was your job.
• 34:46
  Speaker 2: You just did your job.
• 34:47
  Speaker 1: You don't have to stand over him and gloat and
• 34:50
  Speaker 1: and act like you did something special. And yet he
• 34:53
  Speaker 1: just doesn't seem to want to drink, you know, the
• 34:55
  Speaker 1: whole You can lead a horse to water, but you
• 34:56
  Speaker 1: can't make him drink. He apparently doesn't want to drink
• 34:58
  Speaker 1: the water that Mike McDonald or any coach would be
• 35:00
  Speaker 1: kind of telling him right there. And so I think
• 35:03
  Speaker 1: I wouldn't blame him for what he's been doing. He
• 35:05
  Speaker 1: can't control these guys, but I would be willing to
• 35:08
  Speaker 1: bet that he doesn't want him back. You'll find somebody
• 35:10
  Speaker 1: that's going to kind of stick with what's best for
• 35:13
  Speaker 1: the team, even if he's not as fast turns out.
• 35:15
  Speaker 2: Super Bowl also as a stage where things are really exciting.
• 35:20
  Speaker 1: Yeah yeah, and emotions and check emotions.
• 35:23
  Speaker 2: Yeah, emotions, And man, I would like to think, well,
• 35:27
  Speaker 2: he'll never do that again, but I don't trust that
• 35:29
  Speaker 2: at all.
• 35:30
  Speaker 3: I don't know that I would believe it's almost.
• 35:31
  Speaker 2: A certainty he will do to Yeah. Yeah. McVeagh on
• 35:36
  Speaker 2: that Cooper Cup play that I highlighted that I do
• 35:39
  Speaker 2: not want to go overlooked or under disgusted here today.
• 35:43
  Speaker 2: I just thought it was incredible that he thought, Hey, man,
• 35:46
  Speaker 2: I'm not going to be able to get there. If
• 35:47
  Speaker 2: I tuck this ball and secure it, I'm not gonna
• 35:49
  Speaker 2: be able to get to the first down. I got
• 35:51
  Speaker 2: to put it over my head, as difficult as that's
• 35:52
  Speaker 2: going to be. I got to put it over my
• 35:54
  Speaker 2: head and make sure I don't fumble, and without that,
• 35:57
  Speaker 2: he does not get the yard. And maybe he doesn't
• 36:00
  Speaker 2: get the yard anyway. Should McVeigh coach Bucky have challenged
• 36:04
  Speaker 2: that place? Should have you burned his last time out
• 36:06
  Speaker 2: to try to overturn that call? Because that was really close.
• 36:11
  Speaker 1: That was really big thing is I think he had
• 36:13
  Speaker 1: to he had to think about, Okay, would they possibly
• 36:17
  Speaker 1: go for it?
• 36:18
  Speaker 2: Now?
• 36:18
  Speaker 1: I don't think that they would because they were backed
• 36:20
  Speaker 1: up all the way back at like their twenty five
• 36:22
  Speaker 1: or thirty yard line whatever it was. But I mean,
• 36:24
  Speaker 1: you're talking inches, and that's a if you end up
• 36:28
  Speaker 1: risking what is your last time out for something that
• 36:31
  Speaker 1: you feel like it was really close. Whether or not
• 36:34
  Speaker 1: he would have got it or not, I'm not.
• 36:35
  Speaker 2: Sure he got it, but I'm not sure it would
• 36:37
  Speaker 2: have got it overturned it.
• 36:38
  Speaker 1: Yeah, well it didn't. It wasn't in a pile. So
• 36:41
  Speaker 1: the idea of it being clear and concise whether or
• 36:44
  Speaker 1: not they would have been able to determine it, seems
• 36:46
  Speaker 1: like they would have been able to fix exactly where
• 36:48
  Speaker 1: the spot was. To me, it's one where that was
• 36:51
  Speaker 1: like three minutes left in the game, that was such
• 36:53
  Speaker 1: a huge first down that they ended up getting. I
• 36:56
  Speaker 1: probably would have risked the one timeout just simply for
• 36:59
  Speaker 1: then you put the pressure back on Mike McDonald. All Right, dude,
• 37:03
  Speaker 1: you're gonna go for it down here?
• 37:05
  Speaker 2: All back. I don't think you would have either, but
• 37:08
  Speaker 2: you all of.
• 37:08
  Speaker 1: A sudden put that pressure on him, and if if not,
• 37:10
  Speaker 1: then you get the ball back with like three minutes
• 37:12
  Speaker 1: to spare. Otherwise they ended up going down there and
• 37:14
  Speaker 1: having five, six, seven more plays and eating up most
• 37:17
  Speaker 1: of the clock.
• 37:19
  Speaker 2: Let me ask you this, coach, Bucky, after what you
• 37:22
  Speaker 2: saw on the field yesterday, I mean, Matt Stafford, there's
• 37:27
  Speaker 2: a thought that he might not want to play anymore.
• 37:30
  Speaker 2: Should Matt Stafford retire after that performance?
• 37:34
  Speaker 1: Did you see mcveigh's response to that question. Yeah, I
• 37:39
  Speaker 1: am pretty angry. Yeah, well he was obviously. I mean,
• 37:41
  Speaker 1: you're not gonna want to hear about Hey, so is
• 37:43
  Speaker 1: your MVP quarterback going to shut it down on you
• 37:45
  Speaker 1: are having to? Did you just waste the last opportunity
• 37:48
  Speaker 1: with or you know, not waste, but did you just
• 37:51
  Speaker 1: see the last opportunity of Matt Stafford go by the wayside?
• 37:55
  Speaker 1: I mean, I would hope he doesn't the way that
• 37:59
  Speaker 1: he played. Now that that being said, he didn't do
• 38:01
  Speaker 1: anything in the preseason because his back was hurt, and
• 38:03
  Speaker 1: he's obviously dealing with something right now. People have been
• 38:05
  Speaker 1: talking about his finger, his hand or whatever. I would
• 38:09
  Speaker 1: think he should come back. If you're playing it that
• 38:10
  Speaker 1: high of a clip, come back and play, because I
• 38:13
  Speaker 1: think that right now, most Rams think they had every
• 38:16
  Speaker 1: opportunity or had they would be just as deserving to
• 38:19
  Speaker 1: be in the super Bowl. And had they gotten past that,
• 38:22
  Speaker 1: had they not been stopped at the four yard line
• 38:24
  Speaker 1: on that one drive, they probably feel like they would
• 38:26
  Speaker 1: be the favorites going into the super Bowl in two weeks.
• 38:28
  Speaker 2: He's his best right now. He's better right now than
• 38:31
  Speaker 2: he's ever been in his career.
• 38:32
  Speaker 3: He's pretty incredible.
• 38:33
  Speaker 2: He's unreal. Those three throw after we took the twenty
• 38:36
  Speaker 2: thirteen lead and he got the ball back, those three throws,
• 38:41
  Speaker 2: poor Josh Job, because I don't think he played bad defense,
• 38:44
  Speaker 2: and he just threw three perfect throws. The forty yarder
• 38:48
  Speaker 2: to Parkinson and then the twenty nine yarder to Adams
• 38:50
  Speaker 2: over just over Job, and then the two yard touchdown
• 38:53
  Speaker 2: to Adams. I'm like, you can't throw three better throws
• 38:56
  Speaker 2: than that.
• 38:57
  Speaker 3: They made it look so easy. Yeah, that made me
• 38:59
  Speaker 3: nervous at that oh year That's where I was like,
• 39:01
  Speaker 3: uh oh, how did they just do that so fast?
• 39:03
  Speaker 2: He's just incredible, He just really is. I mean, if
• 39:07
  Speaker 2: this could be the ultimate, like L way, I've done
• 39:09
  Speaker 2: enough and I don't want to get any more banged up,
• 39:12
  Speaker 2: and that I'm okay with that being the last time
• 39:14
  Speaker 2: people see me play football, because I think I'm the
• 39:17
  Speaker 2: best in the world. Not many people go out the
• 39:19
  Speaker 2: best in the world. Yeah, and he's gonna win the
• 39:23
  Speaker 2: MVP this year.
• 39:24
  Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, I just I would be willing to bet
• 39:26
  Speaker 1: that if he's feeling like they can get back to
• 39:28
  Speaker 1: this spot again and maybe go all the way, he
• 39:30
  Speaker 1: comes back and does it again.
