  Speaker 1: So thanks guys. Well, all those ad reads definitely distracted
• 4:56
  Speaker 1: us from how poorly the Vikings played in their first
• 4:59
  Speaker 1: possession and yeah, I don't know it was in the
• 5:03
  Speaker 1: possession the eye of the beholder. Yeah, just another terrible
• 5:08
  Speaker 1: drive for the Vikings. The first one out a halftime
• 5:10
  Speaker 1: went for a pick six and now fourth and twenty
• 5:13
  Speaker 1: and they punted in a flag coming in. I don't
• 5:17
  Speaker 1: know where the flag is on the punt, but yeah,
• 5:19
  Speaker 1: we're not sure what that probably on the Vikings.
• 5:21
  Speaker 3: It was.
• 5:23
  Speaker 2: No crazy. Well, we've got more to talk about here.
• 5:36
  Speaker 2: It's a it's a tough game so far for Vikings fans.
• 5:38
  Speaker 2: For the Vikings. I think we're not seeing the true
• 5:43
  Speaker 2: versions of each of these teams. I hope we're not
• 5:45
  Speaker 2: seeing the true versions of each of them. I mean,
• 5:48
  Speaker 2: I mean, I I there's things that I'd like to
• 5:50
  Speaker 2: change for the Bears, but overall, they they're they're showing
• 5:53
  Speaker 2: some fight. So yeah, I think I think both teams
• 5:58
  Speaker 2: definitely lots And it's Week one. It's a long season.
• 6:02
  Speaker 2: Just remember, no matter what happens with the scoreboard, you
• 6:09
  Speaker 2: just don't know.
• 6:10
  Speaker 1: I think we should start and kind of work our
• 6:12
  Speaker 1: way backwards, especially now that we're on a commercial break.
• 6:15
  Speaker 1: Let's recap Week one in the NFL because there were
• 6:18
  Speaker 1: some interesting storylines to come out of the other games
• 6:21
  Speaker 1: Week one, going all the way back to Thursday night,
• 6:25
  Speaker 1: the Eagles playing the Cowboys in Philadelphia. One of the
• 6:30
  Speaker 1: Eagles players got ejected before a snatty nicker started. The
• 6:37
  Speaker 1: kickoff had happened, and then Dak Prescott was on the field.
• 6:40
  Speaker 1: Apparently Dak Prescott spit at him first, and then he
• 6:43
  Speaker 1: got ejected. Jalen starting on Dak Prescott, which was kind
• 6:47
  Speaker 1: of interesting in that kind of fuel this long time
• 6:51
  Speaker 1: rivalry between the Eagles and the Cowboys.
• 6:52
  Speaker 2: What what I what I don't like, and maybe I
• 6:56
  Speaker 2: maybe I didn't see the whole thing, only saw what
• 6:59
  Speaker 2: was publicized. But Jill and Carter, Yeah, he got caught,
• 7:03
  Speaker 2: and basically the apology was it won't happen again.
• 7:06
  Speaker 4: It was an.
• 7:07
  Speaker 2: Apology that he was dumb and did a disrespectful thing.
• 7:11
  Speaker 2: Whether whether or not Dax Prescott did the same dam
• 7:14
  Speaker 2: it was it just won't happen again. And that for me,
• 7:17
  Speaker 2: I think that's a more way to handle as an apology,
• 7:22
  Speaker 2: take ownership, say it was a bad act by on
• 7:25
  Speaker 2: my part. It doesn't belong in the game, and it
• 7:29
  Speaker 2: won't happen again.
• 7:30
  Speaker 1: I think for me, it just proves how bad the
• 7:32
  Speaker 1: Cowboys are that Black felt the need to spit at
• 7:38
  Speaker 1: a player before the game even started, and the Eagles
• 7:43
  Speaker 1: got the last laugh, they got the win, so it
• 7:45
  Speaker 1: didn't even matter that Jamn Carter got ejected from the
• 7:48
  Speaker 1: game before the game even started, Like okay, a big whoop.
• 7:52
  Speaker 1: You know, you guys thought you could come into our
• 7:55
  Speaker 1: place at Linking Financial Field and you know, intimidate us
• 7:59
  Speaker 1: with some soul, but he didn't, and the Cowboys just
• 8:03
  Speaker 1: continue to prove that they suck.
• 8:07
  Speaker 2: I would have to say, yes, they lost. I think
• 8:10
  Speaker 2: I was actually more impressed with the Cowboys than I thought.
• 8:14
  Speaker 2: I thought it was gonna be like a two score
• 8:17
  Speaker 2: victory for the Eagles. See I did. The Cowboys actually lost.
• 8:20
  Speaker 2: And I'm not saying they are on the verse to
• 8:23
  Speaker 2: be on a winning streak or or you know, obviously
• 8:26
  Speaker 2: they lost, but they actually showed me more than I thought. Yeah.
• 8:31
  Speaker 2: I came away from that game more impressed with Dak
• 8:33
  Speaker 2: than I ever have been. And you could even call
• 8:35
  Speaker 2: me like a Dak hater. I just don't think he's much,
• 8:39
  Speaker 2: But I thought overall he played Okay. Yeah, I think
• 8:42
  Speaker 2: what killed the Cowboys ultimately was those big drops by Cela. Yeah, tough,
• 8:49
  Speaker 2: top receiver on their team, one of the best, supposedly
• 8:53
  Speaker 2: in the league, and he has those drops who crucial. Yeah,
• 8:56
  Speaker 2: just game game wrecking drops right there, especially towards the
• 9:00
  Speaker 2: end when they happened. But yeah, overall, I thought that
• 9:03
  Speaker 2: was a good game. Any other games did you guys
• 9:05
  Speaker 2: watch and enjoy?
• 9:07
  Speaker 1: I didn't get to watch the Friday night game Chiefs Chargers,
• 9:10
  Speaker 1: but the fact that the Chargers were able to shut
• 9:13
  Speaker 1: down the Chiefs, it's pretty awesome. Often sneaking away to
• 9:17
  Speaker 1: the bathroom again. Love loved the Chargers mentality in that game.
• 9:23
  Speaker 1: I saw bits and pieces of it.
• 9:25
  Speaker 2: I think you know Jim Harball, Michigan guy, but I
• 9:29
  Speaker 2: love the mentality that he brings to a football team.
• 9:32
  Speaker 2: You just can see it. No matter where he is at,
• 9:36
  Speaker 2: he breathes football and he gets the best out of
• 9:40
  Speaker 2: his team.
• 9:41
  Speaker 1: Yeah, for sure. We're also watching if you're just kind
• 9:44
  Speaker 1: of jumping in with the episode here, watching the third
• 9:48
  Speaker 1: quarter of the Vikings Bears Monday night football game Asri
• 9:52
  Speaker 1: being giggle just had a nice tackle for loss there
• 9:56
  Speaker 1: in the backfield. But to play before that, Byron Murphy
• 10:00
  Speaker 1: got burned a game more on a DJ more route.
• 10:03
  Speaker 1: It was at least the second time, probably more than that,
• 10:07
  Speaker 1: to move the Bears downfield quite a way. So really
• 10:10
  Speaker 1: frustrating game for this Vikings so far. I think me
• 10:13
  Speaker 1: and you were talking earlier before we started this podcast
• 10:16
  Speaker 1: that Bucks Falcons game. Other than man, yeah, I thought
• 10:19
  Speaker 1: was impressed both sides. I came away impressed on both sides. Actually,
• 10:24
  Speaker 1: Michael Penix showed more than I thought he had, so
• 10:29
  Speaker 1: that's got to be encouraging.
• 10:31
  Speaker 2: Even though they came away with a loss for Atlanta.
• 10:33
  Speaker 2: But yeah, her Mayfield once again showing me you know
• 10:36
  Speaker 2: that he is here to play. So the Bucks got
• 10:39
  Speaker 2: something going on.
• 10:40
  Speaker 1: Yeah, So I have Panix on my bench in fantasy
• 10:42
  Speaker 1: football right now, and I looked at his stats and
• 10:44
  Speaker 1: I'm like, wow, he actually played okay, pretty good, Like
• 10:48
  Speaker 1: he could be like starter fantasy level before too long,
• 10:52
  Speaker 1: especially if somebody gets hurt. But it still wasn't enough
• 10:56
  Speaker 1: for the Falcons to overcome the Bucks and Baker Mayfield.
• 11:00
  Speaker 1: It's just like he's mister clutch, he's mister opportunity. You
• 11:03
  Speaker 1: give him the ball with time left at the end
• 11:05
  Speaker 1: of the game, he'll figure out a way to make
• 11:07
  Speaker 1: it happen. And he did that in that game. So
• 11:11
  Speaker 1: all right, the Vikings just stopped the Bears on a
• 11:14
  Speaker 1: critical fourth down to make third down, to make it
• 11:17
  Speaker 1: fourth down. Sorry Michigan, Bruce Michigan along player love one
• 11:24
  Speaker 1: person tell.
• 11:25
  Speaker 2: Us a solid open field tackle but not a terrible
• 11:28
  Speaker 2: pass by Kile Williams. Killed Williams talk about coming away
• 11:32
  Speaker 2: from the Cowboys game impressed with Dak. I mean, it's
• 11:37
  Speaker 2: hard not to be a little impressed with He'll still
• 11:40
  Speaker 2: thought I'd liked kill Williams he's had only a few
• 11:43
  Speaker 2: bad throws. He's not pressing it. He's not pushing it
• 11:47
  Speaker 2: too much, knock on wood, but he's letting the game
• 11:50
  Speaker 2: come and then taking what the defense has given him.
• 11:54
  Speaker 1: Vikings almost blocked that punt, but it's nice.
• 11:57
  Speaker 2: A penalty because they're touching the kicker or whatever. I
• 12:00
  Speaker 2: don't see the flags, not yet, but the crowd, but
• 12:06
  Speaker 2: I'm loving. I'm loving overall the punning getting back into
• 12:11
  Speaker 2: the playing the field position game.
• 12:14
  Speaker 1: Another game we haven't really talked about yet Week one
• 12:17
  Speaker 1: Steers Jets and Roger getting revenge on the Jets and
• 12:22
  Speaker 1: being vocal about it after the game. That was pretty interesting,
• 12:26
  Speaker 1: Like he basically said, like, yeah, it felt good to
• 12:29
  Speaker 1: beat everybody that's associated with.
• 12:31
  Speaker 2: The Jets organization. Yeah. Taking it to a new roll.
• 12:36
  Speaker 1: Four touchdowns, two hundred and forty four yards for the
• 12:38
  Speaker 1: guy in his debut after two miserable years in New
• 12:42
  Speaker 1: York and one with an Accay's injury, and then another one.
• 12:45
  Speaker 2: I mean, I'm not I'm not on the Aaron Rodgers bandwagon,
• 12:48
  Speaker 2: but man, what impressive showing. I mean, whether you like
• 12:52
  Speaker 2: Aaron Rodgers or not, you gotta give him credit that
• 12:56
  Speaker 2: he came and played. Yeah, yeah for sure, and the
• 13:00
  Speaker 2: Jets looked like they were gonna win that game. Yeah,
• 13:03
  Speaker 2: sixty yard field goal to end it. Man to that
• 13:07
  Speaker 2: point too. I think you're going to see an average
• 13:10
  Speaker 2: of longer field goals from kickers this year. Yeah, there's
• 13:14
  Speaker 2: a rule change which apparently I never knew. In the past,
• 13:18
  Speaker 2: kickers only got about fifteen minutes before the game or
• 13:21
  Speaker 2: something like that. Don't don't quote me, but they only
• 13:23
  Speaker 2: got a short amount of time right before a game
• 13:25
  Speaker 2: to work their balls in. Okay, work at the balls.
• 13:29
  Speaker 2: And that's a Boston original quote, right, just said to
• 13:35
  Speaker 2: use the kicker footballs and at those are different footballs.
• 13:43
  Speaker 2: But but now apparently I do not know the rule.
• 13:47
  Speaker 2: But apparently they get like all season, like they can
• 13:50
  Speaker 2: just bring them and as long as they pass whatever
• 13:53
  Speaker 2: quick inspection, those kicker footballs can be with that kicker
• 13:58
  Speaker 2: at all times. So like apparently that means kicks can
• 14:01
  Speaker 2: be longer from now on. I don't know. I mean,
• 14:04
  Speaker 2: it's it's incredible. I mean, you just saw that fifty
• 14:07
  Speaker 2: nine yard from you got ear kicker. It's incredible what
• 14:12
  Speaker 2: teams are willing to go for now when it's it
• 14:16
  Speaker 2: just blows my mind, to be honest with you. Kind
• 14:19
  Speaker 2: of reminds me of a few years ago in Major
• 14:22
  Speaker 2: League Baseball, when they obviously were like juice in the balls,
• 14:27
  Speaker 2: like the league was, like like the actual organizations were,
• 14:31
  Speaker 2: but like they denied it, like no, they're not. They're
• 14:33
  Speaker 2: the same as ever. But out of nowhere, the Twins
• 14:37
  Speaker 2: broke the record for the most home runs of all
• 14:39
  Speaker 2: time or something like that. Like, I'm okay with it
• 14:42
  Speaker 2: if it's more exciting if we get like a seventy
• 14:44
  Speaker 2: yard kick, like, okay, as long as it's not against
• 14:47
  Speaker 2: the Vikings. Oh yeah, yeah, yeah, all right.
• 14:51
  Speaker 1: Another week one game that we haven't talked about yet,
• 14:54
  Speaker 1: Packers Lions. Obviously a big game in this division.
• 14:59
  Speaker 2: Yeah, Packer, I got off early, and I don't think
• 15:02
  Speaker 2: the Lions could could recover. Oh is that fumble that
• 15:06
  Speaker 2: was an incomplete powers? I mean yeah, play as the Bears. Yeah,
• 15:14
  Speaker 2: Packers got off early, Lions could never recover. Yeah, I
• 15:19
  Speaker 2: don't think that's that's you know, I think you're going
• 15:22
  Speaker 2: to see the lines still be good, but with losing
• 15:25
  Speaker 2: both their coordinators, I mean I've seen it was pretty obvious.
• 15:29
  Speaker 1: I think just watching the game, you can tell they
• 15:32
  Speaker 1: lost their help on the offensive and defensive side.
• 15:36
  Speaker 2: Of the ball.
• 15:36
  Speaker 1: They just looked lost. They didn't know what they were doing.
• 15:39
  Speaker 1: Dan Campbell is in over his head as the head coach,
• 15:42
  Speaker 1: trying to fill the gap for these two coordinators that
• 15:45
  Speaker 1: left for better position.
• 15:46
  Speaker 2: Yeah. I think between their two running backs, I think
• 15:50
  Speaker 2: they managed fifty yards. Maybe it's it's crazy for Detroit
• 15:56
  Speaker 2: forty six yards total. Yeah, it's that's that's insane to
• 16:00
  Speaker 2: have Mere Gibbs and David Montgomery and only manage that
• 16:04
  Speaker 2: amount of yardage. I'm glad I don't have those guys
• 16:07
  Speaker 2: in fantasy. Yeah, the Lions ended up looking like the
• 16:10
  Speaker 2: Vikings are looking right now.
• 16:12
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 16:12
  Speaker 2: So there's currently a challenge to see if I think
• 16:15
  Speaker 2: he was down and fumble the ball not I don't
• 16:18
  Speaker 2: think it was like he was down.
• 16:20
  Speaker 1: His knee hit the ground and then they made a tackle.
• 16:23
  Speaker 2: They didn't look at like he was down. If this
• 16:25
  Speaker 2: gets ruled as a fumble, then there are some like
• 16:28
  Speaker 2: wholesale actual rules that the NFL needs to look at
• 16:33
  Speaker 2: and change because this was absolutely not a fumble. I
• 16:39
  Speaker 2: would argue it might not it was a catch, but
• 16:41
  Speaker 2: he was down. Yeah, he was down.
• 16:42
  Speaker 1: He caught it, his knee hit the ground and then
• 16:45
  Speaker 1: the ball came.
• 16:46
  Speaker 2: The TV broadcast is at Joe buck tonight absolutely saying
• 16:49
  Speaker 2: it's clear he's down right there. So Ben Jonson with
• 16:52
  Speaker 2: the biggest idiot move and throwing the challenge flag, and
• 16:55
  Speaker 2: of course in eight seconds, I'm going to be proven wrong.
• 16:57
  Speaker 2: It's his first challenge. I think, why not take a
• 17:02
  Speaker 2: rest though he's got to pop his jail, think about
• 17:06
  Speaker 2: a field position. If you do win that call, Oh,
• 17:09
  Speaker 2: it would be huge, it would It's the final nail.
• 17:12
  Speaker 2: The coffin lid is closed on the Vikings right now,
• 17:14
  Speaker 2: but they haven't pounded any nails in yet. They're about two.
• 17:18
  Speaker 2: It's an eleven point game late in the third quarter.
• 17:22
  Speaker 2: What what I will say is, I know, going back
• 17:27
  Speaker 2: to last night's game, nothing's done until it's done. Yeah,
• 17:31
  Speaker 2: but at least last night's game, the Bills Ravens game,
• 17:34
  Speaker 2: the Bills at least showed life before that initial surge
• 17:38
  Speaker 2: of a comeback at the end. Vikings haven't shown any
• 17:40
  Speaker 2: offensive life saved for one play with JJ to Jalen
• 17:45
  Speaker 2: Naylor at the end of the half.
• 17:46
  Speaker 1: Is the Bills Ravens game in the game of the week.
• 17:50
  Speaker 1: I mean, I mean, it was it was amazing.
• 17:53
  Speaker 2: It will go down as the game of the season.
• 17:56
  Speaker 2: Whether we're right now in week one or talking about me.
• 18:00
  Speaker 2: I mean, you have to to those two. You could
• 18:05
  Speaker 2: justify those are the two teams that are kind of
• 18:09
  Speaker 2: scree those two are going to represent the AFC.
• 18:13
  Speaker 3: I mean, I know it's only week one and the
• 18:16
  Speaker 3: Chiefs played the Chargers, who are decent, and they played
• 18:20
  Speaker 3: them in what Brazil, But still I think both seeing
• 18:24
  Speaker 3: all those games, Ravens Bills are the top two teams
• 18:27
  Speaker 3: in the NFL.
• 18:29
  Speaker 1: Twenty two points in the fourth quarter for the Bills,
• 18:33
  Speaker 1: that's crazy. Play stands is called for the Vikings t
• 18:36
  Speaker 1: J Hawkins and caught it and was marked down for
• 18:40
  Speaker 1: a game of two second and a Vikings.
• 18:42
  Speaker 2: Man and they actually JJ screen.
• 18:50
  Speaker 1: Aaron Jones makes a move, gets four or five. All right,
• 18:57
  Speaker 1: Let's talk Soldier Field. The conditions that Soldier field are
• 19:01
  Speaker 1: always questionable.
• 19:03
  Speaker 2: So it's a great field. It's a turf field, which
• 19:07
  Speaker 2: I think players and you know, everybody involved prefer real turf.
• 19:11
  Speaker 2: Which that's fine. But apparently they had a bunch of
• 19:15
  Speaker 2: concerts in the last week or two. They've they've had
• 19:18
  Speaker 2: some activity. They're trying to really, they've had to replace
• 19:23
  Speaker 2: at most, if not all, of that, some if not all,
• 19:26
  Speaker 2: of the sod on the field. And I guess before
• 19:30
  Speaker 2: the game started, Chris Hockey of KFE, and he posted
• 19:33
  Speaker 2: a video.
• 19:33
  Speaker 1: That's the Vikings first third down conversion. Adam then, sorry,
• 19:39
  Speaker 1: I was.
• 19:40
  Speaker 2: Gonna get on high five and get it. Are you
• 19:42
  Speaker 2: kidding me? Didn't he dropped it? So so take that
• 19:45
  Speaker 2: one back. We'll take it back. He dropped this. That
• 19:52
  Speaker 2: looks like a catch.
• 19:59
  Speaker 1: Fourth and two, right, Yeah, you gotta go for it
• 20:01
  Speaker 1: here in desperation mode right.
• 20:02
  Speaker 2: Now on our side of the field with the defense away,
• 20:05
  Speaker 2: it's been going are you kidding? Fifty three in the
• 20:10
  Speaker 2: third quarter? This was that was a disappointing call. I
• 20:14
  Speaker 2: don't know what the analytics say, but that's the right
• 20:17
  Speaker 2: call upon it. It's the right call. Five five, six
• 20:21
  Speaker 2: left in the third quarter, forty of time. Yeah, you
• 20:25
  Speaker 2: guys are getting all too anxious already, olden field conditions,
• 20:29
  Speaker 2: doom and doom.
• 20:30
  Speaker 4: Yeah, soldier field though, So I will say one thing
• 20:34
  Speaker 4: and you can see all you want, Okay, both teams
• 20:37
  Speaker 4: are playing on the same field, so it's it is
• 20:40
  Speaker 4: what it is, but.
• 20:43
  Speaker 2: Both of us would be upset if either one of
• 20:45
  Speaker 2: our absolutely absolutely apectually if they showed the replay and
• 20:49
  Speaker 2: it was proven the guy like stepped in a seam.
• 20:52
  Speaker 2: I don't disagree with you. So now I don't know.
• 20:56
  Speaker 2: I feel like.
• 20:59
  Speaker 1: The Vikings. Vikings roll in Chicago. That's that's proven historically,
• 21:06
  Speaker 1: especially recently, the Vikings have really struggled in Chicago. Now,
• 21:10
  Speaker 1: a couple of years ago, you and I got to
• 21:12
  Speaker 1: go to a game that he was the end of
• 21:15
  Speaker 1: the season. It was the year before. It was the
• 21:18
  Speaker 1: seasons are already.
• 21:19
  Speaker 2: Throwing in the white play they were.
• 21:22
  Speaker 1: They lost that game and Houston also notoriously one day
• 21:29
  Speaker 1: the Bears, and that was Zach. That's the game that
• 21:31
  Speaker 1: the Bears won the first round or the first overall
• 21:35
  Speaker 1: pick to get Caleb Williams.
• 21:36
  Speaker 2: Well, it was the first pick that they got that
• 21:38
  Speaker 2: they traded to Carolina.
• 21:40
  Speaker 1: Yeah that's true.
• 21:41
  Speaker 2: Yeah, sorry, you're what what what? What a what a great?
• 21:46
  Speaker 2: That was a good, very good spot for there. I
• 21:50
  Speaker 2: think he got that. He got to know. Yeah, favorable
• 21:56
  Speaker 2: spot there. I think we're entering desk peration time for
• 22:00
  Speaker 2: the Vikings here and late in the third quarter, oh man,
• 22:04
  Speaker 2: this is not fun. This is not fun. I'm not
• 22:07
  Speaker 2: having a lot of fun watching you with your friends.
• 22:10
  Speaker 2: This is fun drinking beer. This drinking beer and talking
• 22:14
  Speaker 2: and hanging out with you guys. It's just to remember
• 22:16
  Speaker 2: is a long season. Yeah, it's a long season, and
• 22:19
  Speaker 2: we might have to watch this all year.
• 22:21
  Speaker 1: And we did pick the Vikings to lose this game,
• 22:23
  Speaker 1: but we also picked them to have winning records as also.
• 22:26
  Speaker 2: Stay back and then said they're gonna win tonight. So yeah,
• 22:29
  Speaker 2: but the official pick, Man, how many picks do you guys?
• 22:33
  Speaker 2: Do We had the preseason pick, and then we make
• 22:35
  Speaker 2: a pick and each game, and then you have the
• 22:38
  Speaker 2: Saturday night pick and the Sunday morning pick. What's going
• 22:42
  Speaker 2: on that?
• 22:43
  Speaker 1: It's not that complicated.
• 22:44
  Speaker 2: The legit one is the Purple Punishments one where we
• 22:47
  Speaker 2: both chose them to lose. So with the Vikings and
• 22:49
  Speaker 2: I guess, I guess. Here's my question to you, what
• 22:52
  Speaker 2: changed your mind between the preseason and when you made
• 22:54
  Speaker 2: you pick? What? The lastres are just so much less
• 22:57
  Speaker 2: excer get them? Got it in the Viking got it?
• 23:00
  Speaker 2: He is just so fast. He's got at that play
• 23:03
  Speaker 2: a year ustrating would have been a sack for Caleb Williams.
• 23:08
  Speaker 2: I mean, I mean he's he's fast, that he's better
• 23:11
  Speaker 2: now than he wasn't he And he's not gonna be
• 23:14
  Speaker 2: under Ben Johnson.
• 23:16
  Speaker 1: I don't know what's your God, I don't know that
• 23:18
  Speaker 1: anyone can thrive.
• 23:20
  Speaker 2: But oh he's thriving. Man.
• 23:25
  Speaker 1: That's frustrating. Yep, that is frustrating. Great, great Cashman's hurt,
• 23:35
  Speaker 1: injured king, he's the quarterback of the defense.
• 23:39
  Speaker 2: Yep, the green dot linebacker. So should we not talk
• 23:45
  Speaker 2: about the future expectations? Well, it seems like the Vikings
• 23:49
  Speaker 2: are about to lose this game. There's still a whole quarter.
• 23:53
  Speaker 2: We're still I mean in the second quarter, with like
• 23:59
  Speaker 2: thirty seconds slide, you drove the field, you got the
• 24:02
  Speaker 2: field goal. But still, I mean, I do not, I
• 24:06
  Speaker 2: do not. Can you could breaking or saying all I
• 24:11
  Speaker 2: see final zeros hit the scorecard. I don't know, man,
• 24:15
  Speaker 2: things would have to change quick. Really seems like the
• 24:22
  Speaker 2: Vikings starting middle linebacker just went down with Yeah, it's
• 24:27
  Speaker 2: not great, not great, Bob, not great, Bob.
• 24:33
  Speaker 1: That's for you. That's yours.
• 24:36
  Speaker 2: Got a lot of caves on this skull min center, right,
• 24:38
  Speaker 2: we'll figure it out all right urs antenna.
• 24:43
  Speaker 1: Basically midfield game of one for Swift maybe too.
• 24:49
  Speaker 2: No turnovers for the Vikings. They have turned the ball
• 24:52
  Speaker 2: over once. It was a pick six, just once. Right, Yeah,
• 24:55
  Speaker 2: there was that other almost fumble. We have another You
• 25:00
  Speaker 2: were got another viewer in here. Oh yeah, it's.
• 25:03
  Speaker 1: A few minutes ago, about twenty minutes ago.
• 25:06
  Speaker 2: Sorry we didn't recognize sooner. Well, Blake Cashman is still
• 25:10
  Speaker 2: not like in the blue tent. He's weirdly standing.
• 25:13
  Speaker 1: I think he's like refusing to go in here. He's
• 25:15
  Speaker 1: telling the trainers like, no, I'm good. Yeah, I don't
• 25:18
  Speaker 1: know that he didn't coach. That is one of the
• 25:23
  Speaker 1: best parts about the NFL game though, is like you
• 25:26
  Speaker 1: get all aspects.
• 25:27
  Speaker 2: Of nice, nice Scott, nice Swift.
• 25:30
  Speaker 1: Swift is he's playing well to night.
• 25:33
  Speaker 2: He is playing a game. Oh it sounds liked right
• 25:38
  Speaker 2: now they don't have him on the fantsy sounds like
• 25:40
  Speaker 2: Blake Cashman is not in the blue tent right now
• 25:42
  Speaker 2: because Ryan Kelly is in there starting center to turn
• 25:46
  Speaker 2: it all down. Just who do we take with the
• 25:49
  Speaker 2: first overall pick this year? Wow?
• 25:53
  Speaker 1: This is this is You're already bringing it down.
• 26:01
  Speaker 2: This is Austin Forest have you not seen me?
• 26:04
  Speaker 1: I have.
• 26:07
  Speaker 2: It looks like.
• 26:07
  Speaker 1: I've got to be on that one here. That was Hardgrave.
• 26:13
  Speaker 2: Really glad we paid him like thirty thousand million dollars
• 26:17
  Speaker 2: to come here as a free agent. That was great.
• 26:19
  Speaker 2: Thanks javon him thirty billion dollars. He cost a lot.
• 26:24
  Speaker 2: But so far no sacks.
• 26:28
  Speaker 1: Take Well, this episode is spiraling out of control here.
• 26:34
  Speaker 2: But you know, sorry, true Vikings fans will be listening
• 26:37
  Speaker 2: to us, so man, sometimes recording live during a Vikings
• 26:46
  Speaker 2: game is a great idea.
• 26:49
  Speaker 1: This is not one of those times. Oh man, look
• 26:52
  Speaker 1: at him, just mussies. Yeah, this defense does not look
• 26:56
  Speaker 1: like it did last year? Am I wrong?
• 26:59
  Speaker 2: And I know this is the only game one, But
• 27:01
  Speaker 2: I think I even said to you, I said the
• 27:04
  Speaker 2: Vikings defense. I don't think he's going to be as
• 27:06
  Speaker 2: strong as they were last same players, same coach.
• 27:09
  Speaker 1: It just just doesn't And some upgrades on the defensive line.
• 27:13
  Speaker 2: The guys, the guys are getting a little older. The
• 27:16
  Speaker 2: orders just got bowled over by a running back. Good job, man,
• 27:20
  Speaker 2: thanks for coming from a Super Bowl winner.
• 27:22
  Speaker 1: And we've we've said for weeks now months, probably the
• 27:26
  Speaker 1: secondary is a concern.
• 27:28
  Speaker 2: Those cornerbacks on the roster right.
• 27:30
  Speaker 1: Now, not making excuses, just saying.
• 27:38
  Speaker 2: It was a hold. Got to be a hold. It's
• 27:40
  Speaker 2: got to be what the Evans printer just had some
• 27:44
  Speaker 2: kind of an update or something. It scared the piss
• 27:46
  Speaker 2: out of me.
• 27:46
  Speaker 1: It's awakening. My wife is printed. She's actually watching. Sounded
• 27:55
  Speaker 1: like some of those trains from the door and makes
• 27:57
  Speaker 1: r piss out of me. I hope you're listening right now,
• 28:01
  Speaker 1: and then if you.
• 28:01
  Speaker 2: Are, she's got to teach in the morning, so do I.
• 28:06
  Speaker 2: These kids are gonna get solid and the lightening, the
• 28:08
  Speaker 2: brightening the minds of tomorrow. Dude, I hope your students,
• 28:12
  Speaker 2: the Bears fans are very nice to you tomorrow. Now
• 28:15
  Speaker 2: they won't be guarantee it. I was gonna wear this
• 28:19
  Speaker 2: tomorrow if the Vikings win. Well, apparently it isn't over.
• 28:25
  Speaker 1: I am a firm believer once again, there's.
• 28:29
  Speaker 2: Still a few minutes. I appreciate you for us. No,
• 28:32
  Speaker 2: you don't understand. You sold us a bill of goods.
• 28:37
  Speaker 2: I intercept you can I can I remind you of
• 28:40
  Speaker 2: last year when the Bears, I think we sparked the
• 28:44
  Speaker 2: Commander's run. Remember when they had that Hail Mary Hail Mary,
• 28:49
  Speaker 2: you want to talk about that right now, Mary, That's
• 28:52
  Speaker 2: what I'm saying.
• 28:53
  Speaker 1: That was bad.
• 28:54
  Speaker 2: Well, that's what I'm saying is the game's not over
• 28:56
  Speaker 2: until the game's over. That's all I'm saying. As a
• 29:00
  Speaker 2: Bears fan. That's a bold move to bring that up,
• 29:03
  Speaker 2: trying to make us feel better. Bring it.
• 29:06
  Speaker 1: I respect that.
• 29:06
  Speaker 2: I bring it up because it's the Bears. But still no,
• 29:10
  Speaker 2: I bring it up because it's the Bears. That's the
• 29:12
  Speaker 2: Bears will bear. Yeah, they start bearing now. I don't
• 29:17
  Speaker 2: want him to do that. He's the new seasoning to
• 29:20
  Speaker 2: pick right here? Get him. Oh my god, that's that's
• 29:27
  Speaker 2: that's grounding right there. That has to be grounding. If
• 29:31
  Speaker 2: that's not grounding, how does that understand the game of football.
• 29:35
  Speaker 2: He's falling down and just flicks it to nobody. Yeah
• 29:39
  Speaker 2: there it is STU school and loss of freaking goodness.
• 29:45
  Speaker 2: I know. Yeah, I mean it's just straight up, I
• 29:53
  Speaker 2: don't care about the rules. Maybe they won't call the
• 29:55
  Speaker 2: penalty on me. Yeah, that's ejective for that.
• 30:01
  Speaker 1: Outside of the pocket you receive.
• 30:07
  Speaker 2: It's a hostile environment and school. Hop Daily Norseman on
• 30:11
  Speaker 2: Twitter just said Williams gets called for grounding. So it's
• 30:14
  Speaker 2: third and a twenty dollars.
• 30:16
  Speaker 1: Uber d comes in the game.
• 30:23
  Speaker 2: All right, well great, you know, let's get that seventh
• 30:26
  Speaker 2: round pick in there.
• 30:28
  Speaker 1: Heyld is the man I like him. Well, if you've
• 30:34
  Speaker 1: been listening to our episode, we're sorry that we've been
• 30:37
  Speaker 1: extremely distracted by this Vikings game. Field goal position, the
• 30:41
  Speaker 1: Vikings make the stop, making it fourth and down fourth
• 30:44
  Speaker 1: and whatever.
• 30:45
  Speaker 2: I don't know, it's the end of the third fields
• 30:47
  Speaker 2: all session. I think we should probably wrap up the episode.
• 30:51
  Speaker 2: Then I'm gonna make sure Awesome turn the right up
• 30:55
  Speaker 2: in the bathroom. Yeah, yeah, okay, sorry for us. Yeah,
• 30:59
  Speaker 2: it's been a frustrated game for the Vikings so far. Unfortunately,
• 31:02
  Speaker 2: this recorded episode will end before the game ends, so
• 31:06
  Speaker 2: by the time you listen, you will know the final
• 31:09
  Speaker 2: outcome of the Vikings game. Hopefully, no matter what, the
• 31:14
  Speaker 2: rest of the season goes better than this first three
• 31:16
  Speaker 2: quarters a long season. I still have high expectations for
• 31:20
  Speaker 2: the team, high expectations for jj Evan. You've been pounding
• 31:24
  Speaker 2: the drum all off season saying there's reason to have
• 31:27
  Speaker 2: high expectations. What are your thoughts? Do you do? You
• 31:31
  Speaker 2: still feel the same about the rest of the season,
• 31:33
  Speaker 2: even after these three quarters.
• 31:35
  Speaker 1: So yeah, I think we all knew that the Vikings
• 31:38
  Speaker 1: would need to adjust, they would need to figure things
• 31:41
  Speaker 1: out in this first game, and I think that's what's happening.
• 31:43
  Speaker 1: We're watching it play out in real time, and it's
• 31:48
  Speaker 1: surprisingly for me. It's not just the offense, it's the
• 31:51
  Speaker 1: defense too. Like it does not seem like this defense
• 31:54
  Speaker 1: really had a game plan for Caleb Williams at all,
• 31:57
  Speaker 1: and that's frustrating. Kudo to the Bears and Ben Johnson
• 32:02
  Speaker 1: for having a solid offensive game plan, but this Vikings
• 32:07
  Speaker 1: defense is not all that it was touted to be.
• 32:10
  Speaker 1: I still have a lot of hope. I still have
• 32:12
  Speaker 1: a lot of optimism that Kevin O'Connell and Brian Flores
• 32:16
  Speaker 1: will get the ship righted and it will be a
• 32:19
  Speaker 1: better It will be a better series of games here
• 32:24
  Speaker 1: coming in. And I think our predictions are preseason predictions
• 32:27
  Speaker 1: for the Vikings to have a winning record aren't super
• 32:31
  Speaker 1: far off. It's just gonna take some time, you know,
• 32:35
  Speaker 1: It's just gonna take some.
• 32:36
  Speaker 2: Time for What do you think? How do you feel
• 32:37
  Speaker 2: about the Bears right now? I mean, overall, I say,
• 32:41
  Speaker 2: overall happy with with where the score is obviously, I
• 32:45
  Speaker 2: think we lost some points on the field, but yeah,
• 32:49
  Speaker 2: I can't complain with with with what I'm seeing with
• 32:51
  Speaker 2: the new era. I think Cale Williams has played a
• 32:55
  Speaker 2: heck of a first three quarters of the game, So
• 32:59
  Speaker 2: I'm I I'm really excited about that for a year
• 33:01
  Speaker 2: or two of his.
• 33:05
  Speaker 1: Career with the Bears.
• 33:06
  Speaker 2: Yeah, all right, guys, Well, we will probably try to
• 33:09
  Speaker 2: do live streams for games. I think we have a
• 33:12
  Speaker 2: tentative schedule.
• 33:13
