Transcript
- 0:00Speaker 1: It's a Rally House Football Monday on Altitude Sports Radio,
- 0:03Speaker 1: Rally House. Shop every team in town. Does it matter?
- 0:11Speaker 1: Does it matter the way that you do it? Now,
- 0:18Speaker 1: you ask any football player or coach, they're going to
- 0:20Speaker 1: tell you no. But they're in the locker room. Guess what?
- 0:22Speaker 2: I'm not.
- 0:23Speaker 1: I'm not in the locker room. I'm not like, hey, man,
- 0:26Speaker 1: any way you get a win, I think about things differently.
- 0:30Speaker 1: I guess for more down-the-road purposes, is this something that
- 0:34Speaker 1: can translate? But when you beat a team like the
- 0:36Speaker 1: last two weeks, the Jags and the Rams are two
- 0:39Speaker 1: of the better teams in the league. Just look at
- 0:41Speaker 1: what the Jags did yesterday to the New England Patriots. Now,
- 0:45Speaker 1: let me just say this. I think I'm done. I
- 0:49Speaker 1: think I'm done caring about the way that it looks.
- 0:51Speaker 1: You know how many points the Broncos have scored through
- 0:53Speaker 1: the first three weeks of the season in the first half?
- 0:56Speaker 3: Well, I've got all the numbers. Parker Gabriel laid it
- 0:59Speaker 3: all down for me right here. I've got not only
- 1:01Speaker 3: the offensive points, but the offensive production. But tell me, points-wise,
- 1:05Speaker 3: first half, I will say they've scored.
- 1:08Speaker 2: Is it 10? They've scored 10 points. Yeah. 10. Well,
- 1:15Speaker 2: listen to this.
- 1:15Speaker 3: 17 drives in the first half, according to Parker here.
- 1:19Speaker 2: 10 punts. Two picks.
- 1:25Speaker 3: One missed field goal. One fumble, one made field goal,
- 1:32Speaker 3: and one touchdown.
- 1:35Speaker 2: So, Vic, what that should tell you, listen, this is,
- 1:39Speaker 2: I'm trying to come to grips with it mentally, and
- 1:41Speaker 2: I'm not sure that I'm going to be able to,
- 1:43Speaker 2: but I just may have to accept my fate. What
- 1:47Speaker 2: you just said, Vic, that's an 0-3 team. Easily 0-3 team, right?
- 1:52Speaker 3: If I gave you those numbers from first half, you'd
- 1:54Speaker 3: say no doubt.
- 1:54Speaker 2: It's a Dolphins. They're 0-3. They stink. Brett, every instinct
- 2:01Speaker 2: that I think I know about the game of football,
- 2:05Speaker 2: every factoid on what defines teams that are winners and
- 2:09Speaker 2: teams that are not winners, every element that tells you
- 2:13Speaker 2: why a team should be where it is and where
- 2:15Speaker 2: it shouldn't be where it is, the Denver Broncos flip
- 2:19Speaker 2: the entire script on everything. Yeah. Yeah. They finally won
- 2:26Speaker 2: the turnover battle yesterday, which is great. But it was
- 2:29Speaker 2: only one. It wasn't like five to one like the
- 2:31Speaker 2: Bills game. Time of possession and being outrushed and out
- 2:36Speaker 2: this and out that. I mean, all these different things.
- 2:39Speaker 2: And Vic, I don't know how to quantify it in
- 2:44Speaker 2: my own head because what we're seeing shouldn't be happening
- 2:49Speaker 2: as often as it does happen. But you know what, Brett?
- 2:53Speaker 2: It happens. And so maybe I just need to sit
- 2:55Speaker 2: back on my couch, shut my hole, and let it happen. Well,
- 2:59Speaker 2: here's the thing, dude.
- 3:01Speaker 1: I asked the question, does it matter how? Does it
- 3:05Speaker 1: matter that your first halves are miserable?
- 3:08Speaker 2: Well, I've been telling you for a year and a
- 3:09Speaker 2: half that it does matter. And you know what? I've
- 3:11Speaker 2: been wrong.
- 3:12Speaker 1: Well, here's the thing, Moj. A text writes in, against
- 3:14Speaker 1: the Cardinals or Browns, yes, it matters. A game like
- 3:16Speaker 1: last night, a win is a win. I would totally
- 3:19Speaker 1: agree with that. Like, I am fully on board with that.
- 3:22Speaker 2: Except.
- 3:23Speaker 1: Why does it matter if it's against the Cardinals or
- 3:25Speaker 1: the Browns if you do the same thing against the
- 3:27Speaker 1: Rams and the Jags? Turns out it doesn't. And I'm like,
- 3:32Speaker 1: you know what? I guess this is just who you are.
- 3:35Speaker 1: And it's untraditional, and it's not something that we're used
- 3:38Speaker 1: to seeing. All of what we see in the first
- 3:41Speaker 1: half tells you that you're going to be in for
- 3:42Speaker 1: a big problem in the second half. And they just,
- 3:46Speaker 1: they find a way to get it done. And this isn't,
- 3:50Speaker 1: you know, they've done this for a couple of weeks
- 3:52Speaker 1: or they've had, you know, four or five games. This
- 3:55Speaker 1: is their entire existence since Bo Nix has taken over.
- 4:00Speaker 1: It's the entire time he's been here.
- 4:03Speaker 2: Personality, right? Yeah, but it's more than personality. How do
- 4:08Speaker 2: they look incompetent? And then on back-to-back drives in the
- 4:12Speaker 2: third quarter, this is after going three and out again. Mm-hmm.
- 4:15Speaker 2: They not only drive down the field and bang it
- 4:17Speaker 2: into the end zone, they succeed on consecutive two point conversions. Yeah.
- 4:24Speaker 2: Which doesn't, it doesn't happen in this league. I'm telling you,
- 4:27Speaker 2: it doesn't happen.
- 4:29Speaker 3: They are you on the golf course. One second, 300
- 4:33Speaker 3: down the middle. The very next swing forgets how to
- 4:37Speaker 3: play golf.
- 4:39Speaker 1: Oh, I actually made a golf comparison in the appetizer.
- 4:42Speaker 2: I thought it was a good one too.
- 4:43Speaker 1: I think this applies. So you go out and you
- 4:46Speaker 1: want to play well. And let's say like you're somebody,
- 4:48Speaker 1: you just want to break 80. And you're like, dude,
- 4:50Speaker 1: if I can just break 80 today. And you triple
- 4:54Speaker 1: the first hole. And you think to yourself, okay, it's over.
- 4:57Speaker 1: And so what do you do? You stop caring.
- 4:59Speaker 2: You relax.
- 5:00Speaker 1: And then you play great because you stop caring. And
- 5:03Speaker 1: I think there's something like that to Bo Nix specifically
- 5:06Speaker 1: where he wants to do so well to start a
- 5:07Speaker 1: game that he's almost overthinking and everything's clunky. And then
- 5:11Speaker 1: it's like, God, we're down 16. I guess I just
- 5:13Speaker 1: got to go out.
- 5:14Speaker 2: And huck it. What do I got to lose, right?
- 5:16Speaker 2: And then he hucks it in the end zone every time. Yeah,
- 5:18Speaker 2: but you know what? He had a couple of those
- 5:19Speaker 2: huck jobs early.
- 5:21Speaker 3: The one across the field to Cortland Sutton that was
- 5:23Speaker 3: nearly picked that You know, that.
- 5:24Speaker 2: Was a huck.
- 5:25Speaker 4: I know.
- 5:26Speaker 2: But, Vic, there's hucking it, and there's hucking with a purpose.
- 5:29Speaker 3: Well, the pass to Jalen Waddell on the two-point conversion
- 5:33Speaker 3: was just, I mean, filth is not the word to
- 5:36Speaker 3: describe it.
- 5:37Speaker 2: He put it literally in the only spot you could
- 5:40Speaker 2: possibly put the football. There's justice and there's vengeance, and
- 5:45Speaker 2: then two different things. And he goes out in the
- 5:49Speaker 2: second half, and he hucks it with a purpose, though, Vic.
- 5:53Speaker 2: And it's got rhythm, and it's got style, and it's
- 5:56Speaker 2: got confidence, and it's got pizzazz, and it's got execution,
- 5:59Speaker 2: and it's got all the goods.
- 6:00Speaker 1: That pass was just like this. It looked, oops, just
- 6:03Speaker 1: like Jokic.
- 6:04Speaker 2: Yeah, it did.
- 6:05Speaker 3: Just right over the shaving head of an opponent.
- 6:08Speaker 2: I will say this.
- 6:09Speaker 3: In every game in which a comeback is produced, there's
- 6:13Speaker 3: always a play, nondescript as it may be, that sparks
- 6:18Speaker 3: the movement, that gets the edge. So remember, Broncos come
- 6:22Speaker 3: out second half, go three and out. They're still down 16-0.
- 6:25Speaker 3: They just went three and out.
- 6:26Speaker 2: They had a punt. You're like, what the hell? Defense
- 6:29Speaker 2: does its part. Forces L.A.
- 6:31Speaker 3: To punt it right back. What happened on that punt
- 6:33Speaker 3: right back? Colby Katz has returned to 28 yards.
- 6:36Speaker 1: He did a good job yesterday.
- 6:37Speaker 2: Set a prime field position, and I'm telling you.
- 6:41Speaker 3: That quick trigger that, hey, oh, wait, we can score now.
- 6:46Speaker 2: That did wonders for them. Yeah.
- 6:48Speaker 1: It's huge.
- 6:50Speaker 2: Huge.
- 6:51Speaker 1: You know, there's a few players to highlight, and we
- 6:53Speaker 1: have throughout the course of the show today. I give
- 6:57Speaker 1: a ton of credit. I mean, there's two guys that
- 7:00Speaker 1: I think, without their performances, there's no chance that you
- 7:03Speaker 1: win that football game. No chance.
- 7:05Speaker 2: Mufanga and Bryant. I was going to go with.
- 7:09Speaker 1: Speaking more just defensively, Hufanga, absolutely, though. I mean, two picks.
- 7:13Speaker 1: You get one that nets you a touchdown. You get
- 7:17Speaker 1: another that seals the game. He had the sack on
- 7:20Speaker 1: third down when you turned the ball over, gave them
- 7:22Speaker 1: the ball at the 37-yard line that held them to
- 7:25Speaker 1: a field goal. Those plays, big time. I think, you know,
- 7:30Speaker 1: the Rams moved the ball so easily in the first half. Now,
- 7:35Speaker 1: to the defense's credit, they stiffened up in the red zone.
- 7:37Speaker 1: They forced field goals, which are huge. But, dude, Stafford
- 7:41Speaker 1: was just, here's Devontae, here's a tight end, Kyron Williams
- 7:44Speaker 1: on the backfield, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, 60-yard drive.
- 7:48Speaker 1: What changed in the second half, and it was highlighted
- 7:51Speaker 1: by Chris Collinsworth, when Stafford couldn't step up in the
- 7:54Speaker 1: pocket because Zach Allen was parking his butt three yards
- 7:58Speaker 1: deep past the line of scrimmage, it changed everything for
- 8:01Speaker 1: how their offense operated in rhythm. Stafford couldn't get set,
- 8:05Speaker 1: looked a little bit panicky, had to get moved off
- 8:07Speaker 1: his spot. Everything was out of sync with their offense.
- 8:10Speaker 1: And I think that's due specifically to Zach Allen, who's
- 8:13Speaker 1: been an absolute monster the first three weeks of the season.
- 8:16Speaker 2: Are we going to have to just accept the fact
- 8:18Speaker 2: that we need to live in the world of uncomfortable
- 8:23Speaker 2: football at times?
- 8:26Speaker 1: Here's the thing. I'm not, I'm not saying it's a
- 8:29Speaker 1: dumb question. Cause I've asked the same thing, but I've
- 8:31Speaker 1: gotten to the point to most. It's a dumb question.
- 8:34Speaker 1: This has been two and a half years. I know
- 8:36Speaker 1: of the same thing over and over again. I can't
- 8:38Speaker 1: act like, Oh gosh, am I going to be comfortable
- 8:41Speaker 1: in this?
- 8:41Speaker 2: This is life. This is your life. It's exactly right.
- 8:45Speaker 2: You know what this sounds like?
- 8:46Speaker 3: You guys, I mean, the way everybody's talking, it sounds
- 8:49Speaker 3: like you guys are going through like some sort of
- 8:50Speaker 3: imposter syndrome.
- 8:53Speaker 2: I look at it differently. This is fun. This is great. Okay,
- 8:57Speaker 2: that's good. And you know what, Vic? I'm having fun.
- 8:59Speaker 2: Let me turn over that leaf and let me start
- 9:01Speaker 2: being fun all the time. Because it was fun yesterday.
- 9:03Speaker 2: Don't get me wrong.
- 9:04Speaker 1: I'm not complaining.
- 9:05Speaker 2: I'm not. But Vic, when I'm watching it and with
- 9:10Speaker 2: what I think I know about the game of football
- 9:14Speaker 2: and my history of watching football, something is, Brett, it
- 9:19Speaker 2: shouldn't compute. Do you see what I'm saying? But it computes.
- 9:23Speaker 2: But it does compute. It shouldn't compute, but it does compute.
- 9:28Speaker 2: And I don't know how it does. And so when
- 9:30Speaker 2: you listeners out there and the viewers are out there going, well,
- 9:33Speaker 2: tell me why this is happening. I'm trying to tell
- 9:36Speaker 2: you that the anomalous nature of what the Denver Broncos
- 9:41Speaker 2: are doing is it's virtually unprecedented. And again, and I
- 9:48Speaker 2: look at the slug at ESPN.com today. Peyton. you know,
- 9:52Speaker 2: a little quotation. Broncos can't keep relying on comebacks. Well,
- 9:56Speaker 2: you know what, Sean? You can.
- 9:57Speaker 1: Turns out you can.
- 9:59Speaker 2: Because you do it all the frigging time against everybody.
- 10:02Speaker 2: It doesn't matter who the opponent is. A good opponent,
- 10:05Speaker 2: a bad opponent, great opponent. You know what? Watching that
- 10:08Speaker 2: Rams team, if they get Myles Garrett back, there's no
- 10:12Speaker 2: doubt in my mind they can represent the NFC in
- 10:13Speaker 2: the Super Bowl. Hang on. No doubt in my mind.
- 10:15Speaker 1: A text you says, how different do you guys think
- 10:17Speaker 1: the game would have been if the Rams had Myles
- 10:18Speaker 1: Garrett and Puka Nakua? I'll answer the question this way.
- 10:22Speaker 1: I don't. I literally, no, no, Moj, I don't. I
- 10:28Speaker 1: don't think it matters. They do this against bad opponents.
- 10:33Speaker 1: They do this against great opponents.
- 10:35Speaker 2: A couple of those red zone trips, if you have Nakua.
- 10:38Speaker 1: Moj, are you telling me that you wouldn't think the
- 10:41Speaker 1: Broncos would make the comeback that they did? I'm telling you,
- 10:46Speaker 1: I've seen this over and over again. It doesn't matter
- 10:48Speaker 1: who's on the field. It doesn't matter who your opponent is.
- 10:50Speaker 1: They will do this against the Tennessee Titans, and they'll
- 10:53Speaker 1: do it against next week, probably against the Niners.
- 10:56Speaker 2: They'll do it. I am convinced if the Broncos had
- 11:00Speaker 2: to come back against their own defense in the second half,
- 11:02Speaker 2: they would do it. Yeah, I do too. Let's say
- 11:06Speaker 2: the team traded defenses in half and the Broncos defense
- 11:09Speaker 2: was now all wearing Rams uniforms and you had to
- 11:10Speaker 2: drive down the field and tie it up and then blah, blah, blah.
- 11:15Speaker 2: It's inexplicable what we're witnessing, but it's happening and it
- 11:18Speaker 2: continues to happen. So, Vic, we've got to accept it.
- 11:21Speaker 2: You must.
- 11:22Speaker 3: Do you realize what a win last night does for
- 11:25Speaker 3: you moving forward these next two weeks on the road
- 11:28Speaker 3: at San Francisco, at L.A.? The schedule, we've talked about
- 11:32Speaker 3: the first six weeks, how tough it is. This gives you,
- 11:35Speaker 3: I'm not saying it's an allowance to lose by any means.
- 11:38Speaker 2: You never want to lose. But it gives you some
- 11:40Speaker 2: breathing room.
- 11:42Speaker 3: It gives you, okay, we survived the first three. We're
- 11:45Speaker 3: still in this, you know, we're doing pretty well. And
- 11:49Speaker 3: now you go to San Francisco, which is going to
- 11:52Speaker 3: be incredibly difficult. You know, pulling that stuff off at home,
- 11:55Speaker 3: by the way, and Mike Sanford said it yesterday, he
- 11:58Speaker 3: is so right in the postgame show. The Broncos don't
- 12:01Speaker 3: come back and win that game without the home crowd.
- 12:03Speaker 3: I'm telling you, I was there.
- 12:04Speaker 2: No chance.
- 12:05Speaker 3: I'm telling you right now. The Rams, they couldn't hear things.
- 12:08Speaker 3: It was crazy.
- 12:09Speaker 2: It was chaos.
- 12:10Speaker 3: It was unreal how loud it got last night. So,
- 12:14Speaker 3: to pull off that stunt on the road?
- 12:17Speaker 2: Uh-uh. Nope. No. Uh-uh. You ain't doing that on the road.
- 12:25Speaker 3: You aren't doing what you did last night on the road.
- 12:27Speaker 3: I'm telling you, that's a home.
- 12:30Speaker 3: That's a specialty home– I'm not going to call it
- 12:32Speaker 3: home cooking because that connotes something different.
- 12:34Speaker 2: But you're able to do that at home because you're
- 12:37Speaker 2: at home.
- 12:38Speaker 3: But if you're trailing San Francisco 16-0 at half next week,
- 12:42Speaker 3: you're not winning that game.
- 12:43Speaker 2: Okay, okay. Yeah, but they've done stuff like this on
- 12:47Speaker 2: the road. I mean, the Eagles game last year.
- 12:48Speaker 1: See, but I want to be clear about something.
- 12:50Speaker 2: What are you going to say? What are you going
- 12:52Speaker 2: to do? They weren't trailing 16-0 to the Eagles. No,
- 12:54Speaker 2: they were not. But, I mean, you're talking about a
- 12:56Speaker 2: second-half comeback win. Yeah.
- 12:58Speaker 3: That's a really good team on the road.
- 13:02Speaker 2: I don't see this happening on the road.
- 13:03Speaker 3: This is sort of exclusive to Mile High, and they're
- 13:06Speaker 3: very good at doing this at home.
- 13:09Speaker 2: If you want to beat San Francisco, we've got all
- 13:11Speaker 2: week to talk about San Francisco. This recipe don't work.
- 13:14Speaker 1: They were trailing 17-3 in Philly going into the fourth quarter.
- 13:17Speaker 2: Okay. They're 2-1.
- 13:22Speaker 1: And the texture says this, and I've been as guilty
- 13:26Speaker 1: as anybody, okay? So this isn't even like me taking
- 13:29Speaker 1: shots at people. When somebody says, Mo, stop frying your brain,
- 13:33Speaker 1: part of these improbable comebacks is the other team chokes.
- 13:36Speaker 1: How many teams in the league have choked then over
- 13:39Speaker 1: the last season?
- 13:41Speaker 2: You're making them choke. You're right, they do choke. Don't apologize.
- 13:46Speaker 2: I'm not going to.
- 13:47Speaker 3: Everybody, stop apologizing for winning like this.
- 13:49Speaker 2: Stop being guilty. Stop being like, oh, my God.
- 13:52Speaker 3: Stop it because it's happened too many times now to
- 13:55Speaker 3: be apologizing for this.
- 13:57Speaker 2: This is what they are. And, you know, you should
- 13:59Speaker 2: be happy. They're resilient.
- 14:02Speaker 1: You don't get teams that 17 consecutive weeks choke away
- 14:07Speaker 1: a win. That is you having something to do, a
- 14:09Speaker 1: big something to do with it.
- 14:11Speaker 2: And guess what?
- 14:12Speaker 3: If both plays in the AFC championship game, that would
- 14:15Speaker 3: have been another comeback win.
- 14:16Speaker 2: Yeah. Guaranteed. Listen, man, do teams do? Yeah, I know
- 14:20Speaker 2: we got to get to a quick break, but yeah,
- 14:22Speaker 2: teams do stupid things. Like, why would Philly stop giving
- 14:25Speaker 2: the ball to Saquon? I don't know. The Giants, I mean,
- 14:29Speaker 2: teams do stupid things to allow the Broncos to get
- 14:32Speaker 2: back in. You know what also happens? The Broncos force
- 14:36Speaker 2: you to do stupid things.
- 14:37Speaker 1: Yes, you have to make plays.
- 14:38Speaker 2: And then you capitalize on those stupid things. I mean,
- 14:42Speaker 2: that's the way it works. 303-504-0925.
- 14:45Speaker 1: Again, it's a Rally House Football Monday.
- 14:49Speaker 2: Brett, can we show you that video of the fans
- 14:51Speaker 2: getting into it when we come back?
- 14:52Speaker 1: Yes, when we come back, you'll see a fight that
- 14:54Speaker 1: took place behind Vic in the post-game show next. All right,
- 14:58Speaker 1: a few things from over the weekend. It's a Rally
- 15:00Speaker 1: House Football Monday. I saw maybe the most insane thing
- 15:05Speaker 1: I've ever seen from a coach. Never seen anything like it.
- 15:09Speaker 1: Don't know if I want to ever again. Grossed me out.
- 15:13Speaker 1: which is kind of cool. Minnesota in college football had
- 15:18Speaker 1: a big win over the weekend.
- 15:20Speaker 2: I thought it was a little unsanitary.
- 15:22Speaker 1: It was a big win. Minnesota is one of those
- 15:25Speaker 1: teams like they're just trying to hang in there in
- 15:28Speaker 1: the Big Ten, trying to do enough.
- 15:31Speaker 2: That's what they always do.
- 15:33Speaker 1: So they get a win over Washington. Both teams, well,
- 15:35Speaker 1: Washington went to the game undefeated. Minnesota goes on the road,
- 15:38Speaker 1: pulls it out late. They win 27-24. which PJ Fleck
- 15:42Speaker 1: is giving hugs to all of his players, and one
- 15:45Speaker 1: of his players is bleeding from the mouth. He then
- 15:49Speaker 1: takes his hand, wipes the player's chin that is covered
- 15:53Speaker 1: in blood, smacks both sides of his own face with it,
- 15:56Speaker 1: and now he's got his player's blood on his cheeks,
- 15:59Speaker 1: and it's disgusting. And I just thought to myself, it's
- 16:03Speaker 1: insane behavior that should not be allowed.
- 16:05Speaker 2: I don't like it.
- 16:07Speaker 1: And the other part of me is like, pretty cool.
- 16:09Speaker 2: I don't know what it is. I guess if you
- 16:11Speaker 2: want to ingratiate yourself to your players, get some of
- 16:15Speaker 2: their blood on you and rub it in. I don't
- 16:17Speaker 2: know what to say about that.
- 16:20Speaker 1: Just the idea of putting somebody else's blood on your face.
- 16:23Speaker 2: Vic, you're my boy. Vic, you're my boy. If I
- 16:28Speaker 2: was on the golf course and got hit by an
- 16:30Speaker 2: errant ball from the other fairway, and I'm bleeding out
- 16:34Speaker 2: of the mouth, would you run up to me and
- 16:38Speaker 2: grab some of that blood and smear it on you? Moser,
- 16:40Speaker 2: you know how I feel about your hygiene.
- 16:44Speaker 3: When we're on the golf course, Moser does these snot
- 16:47Speaker 3: rocket things, and then he wipes his nose with his hands,
- 16:50Speaker 3: and then he tries to touch me.
- 16:53Speaker 2: I don't want you touching me.
- 16:55Speaker 1: I agree.
- 16:56Speaker 2: You do it all the time, too. You want to touch.
- 17:00Speaker 2: It's crazy. And you're, like, doing all this weird stuff.
- 17:04Speaker 1: If you were by yourself on the combine somewhere, you know.
- 17:07Speaker 2: Oh, Moser took a whiz in the woods. How gross.
- 17:11Speaker 2: We all do that. What you do with your nose
- 17:13Speaker 2: is beyond.
- 17:15Speaker 1: But you do it and then you wipe the excess
- 17:18Speaker 1: snot with your hand. And I don't know where it
- 17:20Speaker 1: goes after that.
- 17:20Speaker 2: I got wipes. I got all kinds of stuff. You're
- 17:22Speaker 2: like a preschooler.
- 17:25Speaker 1: But I bring up the blood video because that's what
- 17:27Speaker 1: happens when you get hit. If you guys missed it,
- 17:29Speaker 1: this was happening behind Vic yesterday during the Mile High
- 17:32Speaker 1: postgame show. And I don't know what this all kind
- 17:35Speaker 1: of stemmed from.
- 17:36Speaker 2: You'll have to describe it. Can we hear the audio?
- 17:39Speaker 2: I don't know if you can play the audio at
- 17:40Speaker 2: the same time.
- 17:41Speaker 1: I don't think I can play the audio at the
- 17:42Speaker 1: same time.
- 17:42Speaker 2: Okay, you can't play the audio.
- 17:43Speaker 3: I'll give you some play-by-play. So there's a fan, if
- 17:45Speaker 3: you want to play here. There's a fan that shows up,
- 17:49Speaker 3: and this area is dangerous, by the way. I'm not
- 17:51Speaker 3: sure how many more times we're going to do this show.
- 17:54Speaker 3: You're sitting out there on that park bench, bro. Yeah,
- 17:56Speaker 3: we're sitting there on chairs, and a Broncos fan turns back,
- 17:59Speaker 3: and he yells something between Mike and I.
- 18:01Speaker 2: Big hat. He's got the oversized hat. And he's yelling something.
- 18:05Speaker 2: I'm like, what?
- 18:05Speaker 3: And all of a sudden, a Rams fan turns. Tugs
- 18:09Speaker 3: the hat off his head. And then a Rams fan
- 18:11Speaker 3: punches him. Did you see the punch?
- 18:13Speaker 2: Yes.
- 18:13Speaker 1: So that looks like... If you can go back, Jesse...
- 18:17Speaker 1: I don't know if that's a punt. Well, it's assault
- 18:19Speaker 1: either way.
- 18:20Speaker 2: He tried to punch him.
- 18:22Speaker 1: I think it's his, like he took his hat off
- 18:25Speaker 1: and whipped him with it, though, because he knocked his
- 18:28Speaker 1: big hat off first, and that's what happens here. So
- 18:30Speaker 1: hit play, Jesse. So he's got it here. He knocks
- 18:34Speaker 1: his big hat off, leaves frame, then comes back, and like, yeah,
- 18:38Speaker 1: he whips him like this.
- 18:41Speaker 2: With his own hat. What you're not seeing, though, all right,
- 18:43Speaker 2: so see those guys behind me right there? They're going
- 18:46Speaker 2: after this guy now. They're going after this guy.
- 18:48Speaker 3: Well, you can't assault people. Yeah, so at that point,
- 18:52Speaker 3: I tell Mike, let's go ahead and get off the
- 18:53Speaker 3: air right now.
- 18:54Speaker 1: Don't blame me at all.
- 18:55Speaker 2: Let's go ahead and drop our microphones, get off the air. Vic,
- 18:57Speaker 2: I'm going to tell you something.
- 18:59Speaker 1: That was the first time he did the Mile High
- 19:00Speaker 1: postgame show.
- 19:01Speaker 2: Yeah.
- 19:04Speaker 1: Don't do it from there.
- 19:05Speaker 3: I'm not doing it from there anymore. I've already told
- 19:07Speaker 3: our producers we're not doing it. Because I love, I
- 19:09Speaker 3: love the sense of the crowd. I love the crowd
- 19:12Speaker 3: being behind us. But I'm not going to lie to you.
- 19:15Speaker 3: There are some of these folks who come out of
- 19:16Speaker 3: there who don't know who they are, especially on a
- 19:19Speaker 3: Sunday night, they don't know where they are or who
- 19:21Speaker 3: they are.
- 19:23Speaker 2: That is not a safe spot. That's not a safe haven.
- 19:25Speaker 1: It's not like, oh, somebody's going to drop an F-bomb
- 19:28Speaker 1: on the air. It is, you're just leaving yourself out
- 19:32Speaker 1: there with the crazies.
- 19:33Speaker 2: Totally agree with you.
- 19:35Speaker 1: And you have the lights on you and the cameras
- 19:38Speaker 1: and the microphone. Yeah, don't do that anymore.
- 19:41Speaker 3: This guy wanted to fight me because we're in the
- 19:43Speaker 3: middle of highlights and I've got my hands on me
- 19:45Speaker 3: and I wouldn't give him a high five on live
- 19:47Speaker 3: television because I had my hands full.
- 19:49Speaker 4: Yeah.
- 19:50Speaker 2: Back and wanted, I'm like, I'm sorry.
- 19:52Speaker 1: Yeah, don't do that. No, no, no, no. I have
- 19:56Speaker 1: more questions, by the way, from over the weekend.
- 19:59Speaker 2: Who do you believe in more?
- 20:03Speaker 1: Do you believe the Raiders 3-0 record is more real?
- 20:09Speaker 1: than the Cleveland Browns two-in-one record.
- 20:13Speaker 2: Well, the Raiders have done it, I think, against a
- 20:17Speaker 2: group of teams that have one win.
- 20:18Speaker 1: Am I wrong about that? Okay, but it's funny when
- 20:22Speaker 1: people mention that. You're three weeks into the season. If
- 20:24Speaker 1: you win all three games, you have dealt those teams
- 20:26Speaker 1: three losses.
- 20:27Speaker 2: Agreed.
- 20:28Speaker 1: So you're like, yeah, the teams might be bad, but
- 20:33Speaker 1: that means you're better than the bad teams that you've played.
- 20:36Speaker 2: Well, we were just talking to Ryan Harris about an
- 20:38Speaker 2: hour and a half ago, and he mentioned the Kubiak
- 20:42Speaker 2: aspect of it. I mean, you beat up on the Dolphins,
- 20:45Speaker 2: they stink. You beat up on the Chargers, they obviously
- 20:48Speaker 2: are not good. But the win on the road at
- 20:51Speaker 2: the Saints, now you've got my attention a little bit,
- 20:53Speaker 2: because while the Saints may be a 1-2 team, I
- 20:55Speaker 2: think they're better than 1-2. I mean, they look and
- 20:59Speaker 2: they feel like they're better than a 1-2. By the way,
- 21:02Speaker 2: in that division, Carolina and the Falcons and the Saints
- 21:05Speaker 2: are all 1-2. They lead it. And Tampa, God knows how,
- 21:10Speaker 2: are 0-3. And Baker's thumb fell off.
- 21:13Speaker 1: That's my other question. 0-3 teams. Bucs, Texans, and Chargers.
- 21:21Speaker 1: Who's the best or the worst there?
- 21:22Speaker 2: Chargers. I'm going to tell you right now. I'm going
- 21:26Speaker 2: to say this two weeks before game time. No, don't. Don't. Don't.
- 21:29Speaker 2: I'm going to tell you right now. Don't you do it.
- 21:31Speaker 2: I'm going to do it. I'm going to do it.
- 21:33Speaker 2: Shut him off. Shut me off. Shut him off. You
- 21:35Speaker 2: shut yourself off.
- 21:37Speaker 3: You better be careful of that game in L.A.
- 21:40Speaker 2: In two weeks. Oh, my God. You better be. I
- 21:43Speaker 2: think he's right.
- 21:44Speaker 3: You better be careful of that game in L.A.
- 21:46Speaker 2: In two weeks.
- 21:46Speaker 1: They're going to be desperate as hell, Mosher.
- 21:48Speaker 2: Mosher, you better shut your face off. They're going to
- 21:50Speaker 2: be 0-4, bro. Mosher, your face better be shut off. Bro.
- 21:54Speaker 2: Here's just such a weird start for them. First game,
- 21:59Speaker 2: they lost to the Cardinals at home 26 to 14.
- 22:03Speaker 2: Second game of the season at home against the Raiders,
- 22:05Speaker 2: they lost 26 to 14. Third game of the season
- 22:08Speaker 2: on the road to the Bills, they lose 24 to 16.
- 22:11Speaker 2: I don't care. I don't care. Listen to me. Keep spewing.
- 22:17Speaker 2: Keep talking. That game is going to be hard to win.
- 22:19Speaker 2: With God. God, you're. Moshe, are you kidding? Are you stupid?
- 22:25Speaker 1: The Bills had to score 14 points in the fourth
- 22:28Speaker 1: quarter to beat them. They're still a decent football team.
- 22:31Speaker 3: Seriously, how long, how many games do you have to
- 22:33Speaker 3: watch before you're no longer stupid to think that that
- 22:37Speaker 3: game is going to be a walkover?
- 22:38Speaker 2: I thought you were some sort of mental doctor or something.
- 22:41Speaker 2: What are you a doctor of?
- 22:42Speaker 3: I just wonder sometimes, are stupid pills taken before you
- 22:46Speaker 3: comment on the charges?
- 22:47Speaker 2: You must be a doctor of dorkology. Let me explain.
- 22:51Speaker 2: Right now, as it stands, all those 0-3 teams that
- 22:53Speaker 2: you just mentioned, Brett, they all have a 1% chance
- 22:56Speaker 2: of making the postseason historically.
- 22:57Speaker 1: That's not the question. The question is whether that team's
- 23:00Speaker 1: going to be a tough matchup. The Chargers could lose
- 23:02Speaker 1: every game after that.
- 23:03Speaker 2: I don't care.
- 23:04Speaker 3: If you're not wary of that game in two weeks,
- 23:07Speaker 3: you are a moron.
- 23:08Speaker 1: I agree with him. I agree with him.
- 23:12Speaker 2: Here's what happened.
- 23:13Speaker 1: Were you a freaking parrot? You spent two straight years.
- 23:17Speaker 1: Why am I a parrot? I agree too. A parrot
- 23:21Speaker 1: would repeat the things that he said, not say, I
- 23:24Speaker 1: agree with that.
- 23:25Speaker 2: You basically did. I don't know any parrot.
- 23:27Speaker 1: If you say, hi, parrot, it goes, I agree with you.
- 23:32Speaker 1: That's not how a parrot works. A parrot repeats what
- 23:36Speaker 1: you say.
- 23:36Speaker 2: Close enough.
- 23:38Speaker 3: Someone told me that right now, it's two weeks away,
- 23:40Speaker 3: the Chargers are currently favored in that.
- 23:41Speaker 2: There's not a chance in hell they are. Not a chance.
- 23:44Speaker 1: Here's my problem with you, Moj.
- 23:45Speaker 2: Here's my problem.
- 23:47Speaker 1: No, Moj is jilted because he spent all offseason talking
- 23:50Speaker 1: about how scary the Chargers were going to be. And
- 23:53Speaker 1: they made him look stupid, so now he can never
- 23:55Speaker 1: say that the Chargers are good again.
- 23:56Speaker 2: He doesn't want to look stupid twice. Correct. But they're junk.
- 23:59Speaker 1: They are.
- 24:00Speaker 2: They're a fraud.
- 24:01Speaker 1: By you wildly flipping to this side of it, you
- 24:03Speaker 1: look stupid saying they're bad now.
- 24:05Speaker 3: It's a wild flip-flop. It's so flip floppy. It's like
- 24:08Speaker 3: that Seattle fish that gets thrown before games.
- 24:10Speaker 2: That's what you are. You're flipping and flopping. But nonetheless,
- 24:13Speaker 2: I ain't too concerned about it. I'm more concerned about
- 24:15Speaker 2: the Niners this coming weekend. What? Because you're stupid.
- 24:22Speaker 1: Here's the other thing. And watching all these games over
- 24:26Speaker 1: the weekend, and it's so hard to trust anything because
- 24:29Speaker 1: the Dolphins were like right there with the Chiefs the
- 24:32Speaker 1: entire game. I have already claimed that the Steelers are nothing.
- 24:37Speaker 1: They're a nothing team.
- 24:38Speaker 2: They won. Except.
- 24:39Speaker 1: Except they beat Cincinnati, and now I have to pretend
- 24:42Speaker 1: that they're something. I have to pretend they're something. I
- 24:45Speaker 1: don't know what that something is. The Seahawks, who get
- 24:48Speaker 1: their starting quarterback back, who just won the Super Bowl,
- 24:51Speaker 1: lose to a commander's team that lost their starting quarterback
- 24:54Speaker 1: last week to an injury, and that doesn't make sense
- 24:57Speaker 1: to me.
- 24:58Speaker 2: That pick six was Pueblo Kid, by the way, in
- 25:01Speaker 2: that commander's game. Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah. That's right. And then.
- 25:06Speaker 1: Are the Patriots ass?
- 25:09Speaker 2: Are they really bad? I mean, they didn't lose. They
- 25:13Speaker 2: got waxed.
- 25:14Speaker 1: They got punked. But here's the bigger thing. Do you
- 25:18Speaker 1: guys remember? I couldn't get over it. Drake May last
- 25:22Speaker 1: year averaged, I think it was over nine yards per
- 25:26Speaker 1: passing attempt. And that's because he completed mid-70s percent of
- 25:31Speaker 1: his passes while going downfield. Drake May looks like he
- 25:36Speaker 1: can't play football anymore. Drake May, who was, not only
- 25:40Speaker 1: do I take shots downfield, I do it efficiently and
- 25:43Speaker 1: without making mistakes. Do you guys know, just don't look
- 25:46Speaker 1: this up, nobody do anything.
- 25:47Speaker 2: Look at me, look at your cameras.
- 25:49Speaker 1: Do you know what Drake May's touchdown to interception ratio
- 25:52Speaker 1: is three weeks into the season?
- 25:53Speaker 2: Well, he threw nine touchdowns all of last year, and
- 25:55Speaker 2: I think he's got like six so far this year.
- 25:58Speaker 2: You mean nine interceptions? I'm sorry, nine picks all of
- 26:00Speaker 2: last year. I think he's got like six already this year.
- 26:01Speaker 2: I think it's one to seven.
- 26:04Speaker 1: He has one touchdown and six interceptions.
- 26:06Speaker 2: Okay.
- 26:07Speaker 3: One to six.
- 26:09Speaker 2: Well, he's doing, you know what happens, Vic, when you
- 26:12Speaker 2: have a football in your hand, right? You're the quarterback.
- 26:14Speaker 2: You got a football right here, right? When you make
- 26:17Speaker 2: stupid decisions with the football, this is the football, and
- 26:21Speaker 2: you're doing dumb things with this, you lose. Don't do
- 26:25Speaker 2: dumb things with this. Right. Don't do dumb things with that. Well,
- 26:28Speaker 2: let's be honest. I mean, did you see that? Bo
- 26:30Speaker 2: did a couple dumb things early when he threw across
- 26:32Speaker 2: the field. Yeah. That should have been a pick. It
- 26:35Speaker 2: should have. Yep. It should have. Great defense by Cortland Sutton.
- 26:39Speaker 1: Amazing play. But Bo Nix threw touchdowns later.
- 26:45Speaker 2: Yes. Yes, he did.
- 26:45Speaker 3: But when the game's on the line.
- 26:47Speaker 2: But he threw touchdowns later. You're right. So that is
- 26:49Speaker 2: the conundrum.
- 26:50Speaker 3: That's not even the proper word. That is the enigma
- 26:55Speaker 3: that is Bo Nix.
- 26:56Speaker 2: Yeah.
- 26:56Speaker 3: Early in the game, when there's really nothing on the line,
- 27:00Speaker 3: he throws passes like that.
- 27:02Speaker 2: Late in the game.
- 27:03Speaker 3: When you need something, he's freaking Tom Brady all.
- 27:06Speaker 2: Of a sudden. Didn't you like my Harry Potter reference earlier?
- 27:08Speaker 2: I did. My analogy, I thought it was pretty accurate.
- 27:10Speaker 2: I did, but I don't watch cartoons, so I need
- 27:11Speaker 2: to make it a football reference.
- 27:14Speaker 1: I told you guys, I was howling, laughing, when this
- 27:19Speaker 1: guy tweets out after the game a clip of Jake
- 27:23Speaker 1: Gyllenhaal in a movie losing his mind and breaking his computer,
- 27:27Speaker 1: and it's, knowing Bo Nix is trash, but you can't
- 27:29Speaker 1: prove it because he keeps winning.
- 27:32Speaker 2: It's perfect.
- 27:33Speaker 1: Because if I did nothing but showed you Bo Nix's
- 27:37Speaker 1: first halves, that's your highlight reel. For his entire career,
- 27:41Speaker 1: you would be like, how is this guy still a starter?
- 27:43Speaker 1: He's like the worst quarterback who's ever lived. You'd be like,
- 27:46Speaker 1: we need to get somebody in the draft next year.
- 27:47Speaker 1: And if I showed you just second halves, or more specifically,
- 27:51Speaker 1: just fourth quarters of Bo Nix, you would be like,
- 27:54Speaker 1: is this Tom Brady? Is this like the greatest quarterback
- 27:58Speaker 1: of his generation?
- 27:59Speaker 2: Yeah.
- 28:00Speaker 3: To serve your argument, I'm walking the press box at
- 28:02Speaker 3: halftime last night, and I'm just talking to several people,
- 28:05Speaker 3: and everyone was saying the same thing. Like, you're watching
- 28:08Speaker 3: Stafford fit the ball into these windows, and then you're
- 28:11Speaker 3: watching Bowe just struggle, and you're like, these are two
- 28:13Speaker 3: different positions almost. Like, they're playing two different games. Stafford
- 28:17Speaker 3: is just doing things that, wow, he makes it look easy.
- 28:21Speaker 2: And then rolls reverse. Yeah. They just reversed. You know
- 28:25Speaker 2: what's crazy, though? Out of the blue.
- 28:26Speaker 1: Even when the Rams offense started struggling in the second half,
- 28:31Speaker 1: You just watch Stafford throw a football, and you're like,
- 28:33Speaker 1: that guy's awesome. That's a great quarterback.
- 28:36Speaker 3: Where was he throwing it on that pick six? I
- 28:38Speaker 3: didn't get a chance to see the replay.
- 28:39Speaker 2: He was throwing it out to the sideline.
- 28:41Speaker 1: Kyron Williams ran an out, and he threw it a
- 28:44Speaker 1: little bit behind him. Hufanga just read it perfectly, jumped it.
- 28:47Speaker 2: Just a perfect read.
- 28:48Speaker 1: And it wasn't a good throw, but it wouldn't have
- 28:50Speaker 1: been like anything crazy bad. It looked like it was
- 28:53Speaker 1: just a little behind him, but Hufanga just jumped it.
- 28:55Speaker 2: Can I give you my biggest takeaway from three weeks
- 28:58Speaker 2: into the season? The Broncos are 2-1.
- 29:02Speaker 3: They've had another ridiculous come from behind win. The Broncos
- 29:07Speaker 3: are not going to be able to run the ball
- 29:09Speaker 3: the way they hope to run the ball with this
- 29:10Speaker 3: stable of running backs.
- 29:12Speaker 2: The end. Well, I don't think that is my thesis.
- 29:16Speaker 2: I don't think that is my senior thesis.
- 29:17Speaker 3: I don't think you're going out on a limb. Listen,
- 29:19Speaker 3: but I've seen enough. And I've seen it and compared it.
- 29:22Speaker 3: When I saw Kyron Williams run the ball last night,
- 29:25Speaker 3: even Blake quorum.
- 29:27Speaker 2: I mean, They run, it's just different. It looks different. Well,
- 29:31Speaker 2: it looks different and it is different. Even when you
- 29:33Speaker 2: watch Tootin' last week, to a certain extent, certainly with
- 29:36Speaker 2: Walker in game number one, these guys aren't that guy.
- 29:40Speaker 2: But not only that, but it's compounded by the fact that,
- 29:42Speaker 2: number one, Coleman's on what?
- 29:44Speaker 1: What happened from Jonah Coleman being like he might play
- 29:47Speaker 1: this weekend to being out for four weeks?
- 29:49Speaker 2: No, he was out. Those high ankle sprains. Yeah, he
- 29:52Speaker 2: was out. But I thought to myself, man, well, Harvey–
- 29:56Speaker 2: And Dobbins, yeah, they're limited. Yeah, they're probably going to play.
- 30:00Speaker 2: They're not bringing anybody off the practice. But they're not
- 30:03Speaker 2: going to look like themselves, and they certainly didn't. So
- 30:06Speaker 2: I guess the question I have for you, Vic, then,
- 30:08Speaker 2: is going forward, how do you manifest a rushing attack
- 30:12Speaker 2: at all with guys who are banged up or guys
- 30:16Speaker 2: that simply aren't? I'll tell you how you don't do it.
- 30:18Speaker 2: They don't look the part that other teams do.
- 30:20Speaker 3: I'll tell you how you don't do it, and Ryan
- 30:21Speaker 3: Harris made a good point. First run play from scrimmage
- 30:24Speaker 3: of the night.
- 30:26Speaker 2: They tried to deceive the defense.
- 30:29Speaker 1: Yeah, get cute.
- 30:30Speaker 3: They tried to get cute with the defense rather than
- 30:32Speaker 3: put a couple tight ends up there, a fullback up there,
- 30:35Speaker 3: block it.
- 30:35Speaker 1: Just run.
- 30:36Speaker 2: They tried to have receivers block the edge. And they
- 30:39Speaker 2: tried with two different receivers, including Waddle, block the edge. Well,
- 30:43Speaker 2: guess what? That's a loss of two.
- 30:46Speaker 3: If you're going to run the ball, you better do
- 30:48Speaker 3: it with some bouncers up in front, an escort service
- 30:52Speaker 3: up in front. You're not going to be able to
- 30:54Speaker 3: do it with receivers blocking.
- 30:56Speaker 1: When it's third and one, stop running a spread on
- 31:00Speaker 1: third and one. Put your big boys on the... You
- 31:03Speaker 1: bring up a fullback every week. Third and one seems
- 31:06Speaker 1: like a great time to use that guy. Throw him
- 31:08Speaker 1: in front, let him leap block, and go pick it up.
- 31:11Speaker 1: Quickly here. You know, this is the first time since
- 31:15Speaker 1: the NFL was tracking all these stats, which is 1982,
- 31:18Speaker 1: Hufanga is the only player to have multiple picks... a
- 31:26Speaker 1: pick six in a sack in the same quarter. I
- 31:29Speaker 1: didn't realize all of that happened in just the fourth quarter.
- 31:32Speaker 1: It did.
- 31:32Speaker 2: So the pick six, the pick six, the sack, and
- 31:35Speaker 2: then the pick at the end.
- 31:36Speaker 1: He got the sack on third and five that held
- 31:39Speaker 1: them to a field goal after you threw an interception.
- 31:42Speaker 1: The next drive, he jumps it for the house call.
- 31:46Speaker 1: And then at the end of the game, the interception,
- 31:48Speaker 1: the end zone to close things out. All of that
- 31:50Speaker 1: in fourth quarter alone. That was it.
- 31:53Speaker 2: First guy ever. It's crazy. 303-504-0925.

- 32:05Speaker 2: Last thing, real quick. Vic, in that first half, I'm going,
- 32:08Speaker 2: somebody made a joke on my Twitter because I'm like, oh, God,
- 32:11Speaker 2: these Broncos. They go, yeah, Bo Nix really deserves the bag,
- 32:14Speaker 2: doesn't he? I'm like, of course not. I wouldn't pay
- 32:17Speaker 2: this guy. I wouldn't give this guy $ 10 to go
- 32:18Speaker 2: to McDonald's. Then the Bo Nix at the end of
- 32:21Speaker 2: the game, I'm like, 55 plus right now. Give him
- 32:25Speaker 2: 55 mil right now. Yeah, give him a franchise. How
- 32:28Speaker 2: do I live with that in my own head? How?
- 32:31Speaker 1: Get to that in just a couple minutes. Back after this.
- 32:33Speaker 1: To Rally House Football Monday on Altitude Sports Radio. Rally
- 32:36Speaker 1: House shop every team in town. Broncos win. Somehow.
- 32:41Speaker 2: Someway.
- 32:42Speaker 1: They win again against the Rams on Sunday Night Football.
- 32:46Speaker 1: And that takes them to 2-1 on the season.
- 32:48Speaker 2: And.
- 32:50Speaker 2: But what it does, as Vic said earlier, Brett, and
- 32:53Speaker 2: you said it during the appetizer, these first six games
- 32:57Speaker 2: are not easy. So the wiggle room that you give
- 32:59Speaker 2: yourself now is pretty good. In fact, I'm looking at
- 33:02Speaker 2: four and two through this. That's what I'm looking at.
- 33:06Speaker 1: If we were all on board, which we were before
- 33:09Speaker 1: the season started, I asked the question, if I could
- 33:12Speaker 1: guarantee you the Broncos go three and three during the
- 33:15Speaker 1: first six weeks, would you take it? And we all
- 33:17Speaker 1: said yes.
- 33:17Speaker 2: 100%.
- 33:18Speaker 1: Well, they're 2-1. You have now one way to make
- 33:22Speaker 1: a mistake or two. And it's not even a mistake.
- 33:24Speaker 1: You're going to be playing really difficult games against really
- 33:28Speaker 1: difficult opponents. And the next two being on the road. Like,
- 33:32Speaker 1: that is going to be tough. But you've allowed yourself
- 33:35Speaker 1: with these two wins the last couple of weeks to
- 33:37Speaker 1: get back into it. By the way, the Broncos at
- 33:41Speaker 1: home are just, they're a different animal. They've had one
- 33:45Speaker 1: loss at home in the regular season. Since October 17th
- 33:50Speaker 1: of 2024. It's insane. One. And that was the Jags
- 33:54Speaker 1: game last year.
- 33:56Speaker 2: That's it.
- 33:57Speaker 1: They play at home. That team is just a different
- 34:00Speaker 1: animal and make no mistake. Shout out to the crowd
- 34:03Speaker 1: last night. It was a difference maker mattered in that game.
- 34:08Speaker 3: I mean, listening to some of the Rams players afterwards,
- 34:12Speaker 3: I think you can prepare for the sound, but until
- 34:14Speaker 3: you're in it and then made a difference that it
- 34:16Speaker 3: was a Sunday night crowd, and the Broncos got in
- 34:19Speaker 3: the game.
- 34:20Speaker 2: Credit to the crowd. It's 16-0 in the first possession
- 34:23Speaker 2: of the second half, three and out. They all stayed.
- 34:25Speaker 2: They all yelled. They got louder.
- 34:27Speaker 3: They got bolder, and it made a difference down the stretch. Now,
- 34:31Speaker 3: the Broncos have to do something to embolden them. It
- 34:34Speaker 3: can't be just the fans, right? And the Broncos did.
- 34:37Speaker 2: They moved the ball. They scored. They got a two-point conversion,
- 34:39Speaker 2: and that's when the game changed.
- 34:40Speaker 1: I've never seen it. Game on the line, Moj. You're
- 34:44Speaker 1: down to your last play. the quarterback had to run
- 34:47Speaker 1: to the sideline, not because of radio miscommunications or whatever,
- 34:52Speaker 1: because he literally couldn't hear the play. He had to
- 34:55Speaker 1: sprint like a peewee football player to the sideline to
- 34:58Speaker 1: get the call directly from the coach and then sprint
- 35:00Speaker 1: back in.
- 35:01Speaker 2: Talking to JB Long on Friday, what did he say
- 35:04Speaker 2: the one Achilles heel was with his Rams so far?
- 35:07Speaker 2: Special teams. And where the hell did Colby Katz's come from?
- 35:12Speaker 3: Well, he had that one big return, but I thought
- 35:15Speaker 3: the Rams special teams was fine.
- 35:16Speaker 2: Hell, thicker kicker hit four of them. Yeah, but he– well, yeah,
- 35:19Speaker 2: but he's talking– The Rams lost this game. He was
- 35:22Speaker 2: talking about kick coverage. Okay.
- 35:23Speaker 1: Well, he did bring up the kicking situation, though, saying
- 35:26Speaker 1: that they were not good. They've been searching for somebody
- 35:29Speaker 1: to play well.
- 35:30Speaker 2: This guy can do it now. The Rams lost that game.
- 35:33Speaker 3: Their takeaway, if I'm a Rams official, I'm driving home,
- 35:37Speaker 3: I'm flying home last night.
- 35:39Speaker 2: We lost that game because we had to settle for
- 35:41Speaker 2: field goals. We could have ended it.
- 35:43Speaker 1: Mm-hmm.
- 35:45Speaker 2: They could have ended the game. They had the ball
- 35:47Speaker 2: in the 36-yard line. 36-yard line. And they got a
- 35:51Speaker 2: field goal out of it. Yeah.
- 35:54Speaker 1: They could have early in that game, if they convert, like,
- 35:57Speaker 1: even one of those into a touchdown. Like, you start
- 36:00Speaker 1: to go up 20-some at halftime, it's a completely different
- 36:04Speaker 1: animal that you're dealing with.
- 36:06Speaker 2: And the other reason is penalties. 13 of them. Mm-hmm.
- 36:09Speaker 2: 13 penalties for 91 yards.
- 36:11Speaker 3: And I think a lot of them were crowd-induced.
- 36:15Speaker 2: I think so.
- 36:15Speaker 1: Now, the one that they're talking about all day on
- 36:18Speaker 1: the talking head shows, I agree, okay? I think that
- 36:23Speaker 1: the pass interference on Bryant was not P.I. That should
- 36:26Speaker 1: have been an interception, and then who knows. I even
- 36:30Speaker 1: think the Evan Ingram, I know letter of the law,
- 36:32Speaker 1: what the rule is, hands to the face, yes. It
- 36:35Speaker 1: was like a quarter of a second. You barely got
- 36:39Speaker 1: your hand up there. A little ticky-tack for me.
- 36:42Speaker 3: God, you know, there was a couple other plays, too,
- 36:43Speaker 3: I wrote down. There was a play where Stafford, who
- 36:48Speaker 3: rarely misses, he had Devontae Adams down the sideline wide
- 36:53Speaker 3: open and overthrew him by about four yards.
- 36:56Speaker 2: Yeah.
- 36:56Speaker 3: Where he ran that same out-and-up that just killed the
- 36:59Speaker 3: Broncos all night. If he hits Adams on that out-and-up,
- 37:02Speaker 3: that game changes in.
- 37:04Speaker 2: A hurry, my friend.
- 37:07Speaker 3: Adam a couple times. How many out and ups did
- 37:08Speaker 3: we see in that game by the Rams?
- 37:10Speaker 2: They ran it all game long.
- 37:13Speaker 1: And the thing is, Stafford just straight up didn't see
- 37:17Speaker 1: two of them that were. I mean, I would have
- 37:21Speaker 1: scored a touchdown. You lost it to me. There's nobody
- 37:24Speaker 1: within 20 yards. I could have walked in.
- 37:26Speaker 3: Jesse, you have the sound from PS2 after the game
- 37:28Speaker 3: because very rarely does PS2 get.
- 37:31Speaker 2: I mean, let's be totally honest here. That was a
- 37:33Speaker 2: rough night for the DBs. Yeah. Yes, it was. Okay.
- 37:37Speaker 2: Here's what Patrick had to say after the game trying
- 37:38Speaker 2: to cover Devontae Adams. Yeah, I mean, it's good.
- 37:43Speaker 4: You know, it's a battle out there. You know, he
- 37:45Speaker 4: made some plays. I made some plays here and there.
- 37:47Speaker 4: But at the end of the day, a win is
- 37:49Speaker 4: a win. I knew what my matchup was. I knew
- 37:51Speaker 4: my assignment. He's a good receiver. So, you know, I mean,
- 37:55Speaker 4: I think what he's able to bring to the table,
- 37:59Speaker 4: you know, with him and Stafford, it's a unique combination. But,
- 38:02Speaker 4: you know, we understood it. what they brought to the table,
- 38:05Speaker 4: and we had to sort of settle in and lock
- 38:07Speaker 4: in on that.
- 38:09Speaker 2: Yeah. Yeah, and that one penalty on Riley Moss, like,
- 38:16Speaker 2: he had no choice but to grab and hold, dude.
- 38:19Speaker 2: He was beat on the out and up. I mean,
- 38:21Speaker 2: they ran it all game long, Vic, and if Stafford
- 38:23Speaker 2: was even a little bit better, and he's the defending MVP.
- 38:27Speaker 2: Reigning MVP, the Broncos probably lose the game.
- 38:31Speaker 3: You know what makes Devontae Adams so damn hard to
- 38:34Speaker 3: deal with?
- 38:35Speaker 2: He is strong. Not just, he's big. He is strong.
- 38:42Speaker 3: He was pushing dudes all night, and they got him
- 38:44Speaker 3: for one of them, right? The offensive PI, they got
- 38:46Speaker 3: him for the push off of Hufanga.
- 38:47Speaker 2: Yep. But the way he leans into you when he
- 38:50Speaker 2: runs his route, that's a weapon, man.
- 38:53Speaker 1: You know what I always think back to? The clip
- 38:57Speaker 1: of Devontae Adams, and I can't remember what it was for.
- 38:59Speaker 1: Maybe it was just like an NFL Films Game of
- 39:02Speaker 1: the Week thing or something. Do you remember when Devontae
- 39:04Speaker 1: was playing for the Raiders a couple years ago? And
- 39:08Speaker 1: he just got walloped over the middle of the field.
- 39:12Speaker 1: And they had a camera on him when he was
- 39:14Speaker 1: sitting on the bench. The Raiders were terrible. He's mad.
- 39:17Speaker 1: This is right when he was asking out. He goes,
- 39:19Speaker 1: I got to get the bleep out of here before
- 39:21Speaker 1: they kill.
- 39:21Speaker 2: Me, dog. Yeah.
- 39:25Speaker 1: Just to think that's where he was a couple years ago.
- 39:27Speaker 2: Who was Aaron Rodgers talking about? yesterday when he said,
- 39:31Speaker 2: that guy is a piece of blank? No, he called,
- 39:35Speaker 2: he said, this guy is, I'll have to find it.
- 39:40Speaker 2: Just consider this turn of events that took place in
- 39:44Speaker 2: the fourth quarter of the game. Just this.
- 39:48Speaker 3: Broncos punt the ball and back the Rams inside the 10.
- 39:52Speaker 3: At this point, the Broncos are leading. I'm sorry, they're trailing.
- 39:56Speaker 2: 19-16. They're down. And they had to punt the ball
- 40:00Speaker 2: because they go three and out. Stafford on first.
- 40:03Speaker 3: And 10 finds Devontae Adams over the middle. Now, I
- 40:07Speaker 3: didn't pay particular attention to that play. What defense were
- 40:09Speaker 3: the Broncos in when Adams goes 50 yards down the
- 40:12Speaker 3: right sideline?
- 40:13Speaker 2: What were they in? They had a linebacker covering... Devontae Adams.
- 40:18Speaker 2: Was that a zone?
- 40:20Speaker 1: Might have been one of the rare times to win zone, yeah.
- 40:23Speaker 2: Okay.
- 40:24Speaker 1: I know man coverage doesn't have Devontae Adams being covered
- 40:26Speaker 1: by a linebacker.
- 40:27Speaker 2: Well, here's the problem, Vic. When you hand somebody off
- 40:30Speaker 2: in zone and nobody's there to take the hand off
- 40:34Speaker 2: of the guy, that's usually a problem.
- 40:36Speaker 3: All right, so at that point, they're already in field
- 40:38Speaker 3: goal range, and you're thinking to yourself, God, just limit
- 40:40Speaker 3: them to a field goal, and maybe you get out
- 40:42Speaker 3: of this with something.
- 40:44Speaker 2: Two plays later, house call. Yeah. Yep. Just two plays
- 40:51Speaker 2: after that dynamic passing catch. I mean, Stafford for the win,
- 40:57Speaker 2: Stafford for the loss.
- 41:00Speaker 1: There's two plays to me that changed that I think
- 41:03Speaker 1: if the Rams executed these plays, or I guess a
- 41:08Speaker 1: better way to put it is if the Broncos did
- 41:09Speaker 1: not on defense, it felt like the game would have
- 41:12Speaker 1: been over, over, even with the comeback. And it was
- 41:16Speaker 1: third and five. When they started that drive at the
- 41:18Speaker 1: 37-yard line after the pick, if Stafford doesn't get sacked
- 41:22Speaker 1: on that great play call by Vance Joseph, sending Hufanga
- 41:25Speaker 1: off the edge untouched, if they pick up that first down,
- 41:27Speaker 1: I think that game is a lot different, number one.
- 41:29Speaker 1: Number two, obviously the pick six.
- 41:32Speaker 2: Like, both of.
- 41:34Speaker 1: Those moments, because at that time, the Rams were up
- 41:37Speaker 1: three with the football.
- 41:41Speaker 2: It was 19 to 16.
- 41:43Speaker 1: And they had it at the 38-yard line. Like, they
- 41:45Speaker 1: were going to go up at least six, you would think.
- 41:48Speaker 2: Yeah. And if they put it in the.
- 41:50Speaker 1: End zone, it's like, that's ballgame, man.
- 41:51Speaker 2: Brett, but it doesn't end there. The fourth quarter was
- 41:54Speaker 2: just maniacal. 90 seconds after the house call. 90 seconds.
- 42:00Speaker 3: There's the out and up, and all of a sudden, L.A.
- 42:02Speaker 2: 's in the lead again.
- 42:03Speaker 1: Mumford and Sons or whatever his name was.
- 42:05Speaker 3: So I'm going to ask you guys, everybody listening to
- 42:07Speaker 3: this show, 335 to play in the game. 335, the
- 42:10Speaker 3: Broncos are down by three.
- 42:12Speaker 2: I don't know why. Maybe it's just the warmth in
- 42:15Speaker 2: my belly. It's just a warm feeling. I had no
- 42:18Speaker 2: doubt that the Broncos were going to score there. I did, too.
- 42:21Speaker 2: I mean, it was like everybody. I was like, yeah,
- 42:24Speaker 2: they're going to score. They're going to win the game.
- 42:26Speaker 2: Think about that for a second. How many teams feel
- 42:30Speaker 2: that way about their teams? For whatever reason, I said, yeah.
- 42:36Speaker 2: That won't surprise me. Vic, it's a gift is what
- 42:39Speaker 2: it is. It is. To be able to do that
- 42:43Speaker 2: so often and have that kind of pizzazz and that
- 42:46Speaker 2: kind of courage and all that kind of stuff. Moosh,
- 42:50Speaker 2: it was second and 20 in the first down. Bro,
- 42:53Speaker 2: you're preaching to the choir here. I know. But it's
- 42:56Speaker 2: a gift to be able to have that. It's a thing.
- 42:59Speaker 2: It's a real thing, man. And it blows my mind.
- 43:02Speaker 2: I wrestle with... I wrestle with this. At home, you
- 43:08Speaker 2: just beat two, in my opinion, really good football teams
- 43:11Speaker 2: in the Jags and the Rams. So what does that
- 43:13Speaker 2: make you? A really good football team. You're damn right
- 43:17Speaker 2: it does. And you know what else? And you know
- 43:18Speaker 2: what else? You're walking that tightrope, but you're walking that
- 43:23Speaker 2: tightrope still, bro, as a really good football team. You
- 43:26Speaker 2: did it at home. And we've talked about it in
- 43:29Speaker 2: this show. You do these things at home. You're able
- 43:32Speaker 2: to pull off these miracles at home. And I know
- 43:34Speaker 2: they did it in Philly last year. I know. But
- 43:36Speaker 2: you did it at home.
- 43:38Speaker 3: On the road, you got to have some production in
- 43:42Speaker 3: the first quarter.
- 43:44Speaker 1: And I have now been beaten into submission on this topic,
- 43:48Speaker 1: so I'll respond in kind. Vic, do you? Maybe not.
- 43:54Speaker 2: Do you?
- 43:56Speaker 1: We keep saying that, but then it never seems to matter.
- 44:00Speaker 2: Hey, Brett, how about this? Sean Payton says, quote, Broncos
- 44:03Speaker 2: can't keep relying on comebacks. Can they? Yeah. I think
- 44:10Speaker 2: the answer is, is it resounding? Yes, they can because
- 44:13Speaker 2: they do it. And they do it time and time again.
- 44:16Speaker 3: What one thing I'm, I'm sort of tired of hearing though.
- 44:19Speaker 3: I mean, is establish the run, establish the run. They,
- 44:22Speaker 3: they tried to establish the run. They ran it 17
- 44:24Speaker 3: times to JK.
- 44:25Speaker 2: Credit to him. Sticking with it.
- 44:27Speaker 1: Credit to him.
- 44:28Speaker 2: It didn't work.
- 44:29Speaker 1: It didn't, but, but I love that they stuck to it.
- 44:32Speaker 1: They kept going at it. Um, So, obviously a lot
- 44:37Speaker 1: more to come on this Rally House Football Monday throughout
- 44:39Speaker 1: the course of the shows today. It's weird to think, too.
- 44:46Speaker 1: We're just a couple of days away from the Avs
- 44:48Speaker 1: opening up their season, which is even wilder.
- 44:51Speaker 2: No practice today. Today's an off day. I'm going on
- 44:53Speaker 2: a Nuggets media day right now.
- 44:54Speaker 3: I just saw a video of Nikola Jokic walking into
- 44:57Speaker 3: the facility.
- 44:58Speaker 2: They're going to start a press conference here in about
- 44:59Speaker 2: an hour. We're going to sit down with all the players.
- 45:02Speaker 3: Normally, we're live there on Nuggets Media Day, but they
- 45:05Speaker 3: started it a little later this morning.
- 45:09Speaker 1: Vic, did Jokic go to the facility straight from the airport?
- 45:12Speaker 1: That's my question.
- 45:13Speaker 2: I think he galloped in on a horse.
- 45:16Speaker 1: iTunes, Spotify, Moslem, Bardi, and Kane.
- 45:18Speaker 2: Wasn't it always odd, though, to be at Nuggets Media
- 45:21Speaker 2: Day and see the guys laying down getting their teeth
- 45:23Speaker 2: checked and all.
- 45:24Speaker 1: That kind of thing?
- 45:24Speaker 2: That was weird, yeah. Like a dentist's office. Yeah, it
- 45:26Speaker 2: was kind of bizarre.
- 45:28Speaker 1: A bunch to discuss all day today right here on
- 45:30Speaker 1: Altitude Sports Radio 92.5 on this Rally House Football Monday.
- 45:33Speaker 1: Have a wonderful Monday. We'll talk to you tomorrow.
- 45:35Speaker 2: Love you. See you.
