2:00
Speaker 4: football today, Seattle Seahawks football. There's not anybody on this
2:05
Speaker 4: show that their their team that they root for isn't a.
2:09
Speaker 3: Number one seed. It has a buye in the first round.
2:12
Speaker 5: Yeah yeah, we all of us get next weekend advance.
2:18
Speaker 5: Everybody here were advance the Yeah yeah, you guys had
2:22
Speaker 5: to earn it. You didn't play backups. But whatever it is,
2:26
Speaker 5: what it is, We'll all take number one.
2:28
Speaker 3: Nothing but number ones.
2:29
Speaker 4: They don't support anybody but number ones on this show's
2:32
Speaker 4: right that much. I'm not gonna clarify that any further.
2:36
Speaker 4: I'm just gonna tell you this group follows one seed.
2:40
Speaker 1: That's right. Anything other than that and you're just a loser.
2:43
Speaker 6: Oh, your team's a four seeds, two seed, first loser.
2:46
Speaker 4: There might be some radio shows out there that have
2:49
Speaker 4: to root for a two seed losers.
2:52
Speaker 5: Oh yeah, but not this show, not in this town.
2:56
Speaker 3: Not right now. The Seahawks are going to be the
3:00
Speaker 3: number one seed in so or the Broncos.
3:02
Speaker 4: As we get things started here postseason. We now go
3:06
Speaker 4: into the post season officially, as the regular season came
3:10
Speaker 4: to a close last night with one of the best
3:13
Speaker 4: fourth quarters you'll ever see in football history. We'll talk
3:16
Speaker 4: more about that with a cold turkey sandwich, but we
3:20
Speaker 4: of course begin with the Seahawks getting done what they
3:22
Speaker 4: needed to get done. Saturday night they roll into San Francisco.
3:27
Speaker 4: I mean, this was a matchup where at first people
3:30
Speaker 4: saw how aesthetically pleasing the forty nine Ers looked and
3:35
Speaker 4: narrowly defeating the Bears the previous week, where the Seahawks
3:38
Speaker 4: looked a little clunky offensively, and so initially the reaction was, oh.
3:45
Speaker 3: The forty nine ers and the way they're playing right now.
3:48
Speaker 4: And then all of a sudden, over the course of
3:50
Speaker 4: seven days, the football experts were like, I don't care
3:54
Speaker 4: how many points they put up against the Chicago Bears
3:57
Speaker 4: that defense is for real in Seattle, and it went
3:59
Speaker 4: for four and a half point favorite. It opened San
4:02
Speaker 4: Francisco to By the time kickoff occurred, the Seahawks were
4:06
Speaker 4: a two and a half point road favorite. The points
4:10
Speaker 4: spread swung seven points because the wise guy money came
4:13
Speaker 4: in as the week went along. They knew Vegas knew,
4:17
Speaker 4: and they're really I mean, I realized the game was close,
4:21
Speaker 4: and there was a moment where San Francisco the McCaffrey
4:25
Speaker 4: interception that deflected off of his hands. But that would
4:29
Speaker 4: have been rather unfortunate if San Francisco would have found
4:32
Speaker 4: their way to win that game last night or excuse me,
4:35
Speaker 4: Saturday night, because they got dominated from beginning to end.
4:38
Speaker 4: That was a dominant performance by the Seahawks. The only
4:41
Speaker 4: thing that kept it from being a blowout is that
4:44
Speaker 4: the Seahawks did not execute offensively when it came time
4:47
Speaker 4: to scoring points. But in terms of physicality, in terms
4:51
Speaker 4: of winning the line of scrimmage, they were better offensively,
4:54
Speaker 4: They were better defensively. They weren't as good on special
4:57
Speaker 4: teams this time around. I don't know what happened, but
4:59
Speaker 4: we can talk about that later. They actually ran the
5:01
Speaker 4: football and kind of established that you're not going to
5:05
Speaker 4: beat us this way, as both Charbonnet and ken Walker
5:09
Speaker 4: had over seventy yards rushing in the game.
5:11
Speaker 3: So I mean in terms of I mean you kind
5:14
Speaker 3: of joked about it a little bit. We got to
5:17
Speaker 3: play backups in Denver.
5:19
Speaker 1: You did earn it.
5:20
Speaker 4: If you are a Seahawks team, you had to go
5:23
Speaker 4: all the way to the end. Fourteen and three with
5:26
Speaker 4: a two point cushion, a two game win cushion over
5:28
Speaker 4: San Francisco and Los Angeles kind of looks on paper
5:31
Speaker 4: now like he ran away with things, but you had
5:34
Speaker 4: to take it all the way to the bitter end,
5:36
Speaker 4: and boy, did you just absolutely earn it on Saturday night.
5:40
Speaker 3: Highly impressive from the Seattle Seahawks.
5:43
Speaker 5: Yeah, well, I mean the defense, We've been watching it
5:45
Speaker 5: all year and it doesn't seem like they've even crescendoed.
5:49
Speaker 5: I mean like it reached the mountaintop. They're still kind
5:52
Speaker 5: of growing when it comes to that.
5:54
Speaker 1: Now.
5:55
Speaker 5: Yeah, the scorer kind of might lead you down the
5:57
Speaker 5: path of man to be that dog minute and yet
6:01
Speaker 5: still have it be kind of close for the majority
6:04
Speaker 5: of the game. Was it's something that you I'm sure
6:07
Speaker 5: that they're going to be talking about this week and
6:10
Speaker 5: leading up to their first game when they they do
6:12
Speaker 5: have to play, of like, we got to clean some
6:14
Speaker 5: of that stuff up because it was they would just
6:16
Speaker 5: drive the ball. I mean, the run game looked better
6:18
Speaker 5: than it has looked and some year to some degree.
6:21
Speaker 5: I mean maybe the Niners, all of their injuries and
6:24
Speaker 5: the things that have, you know, the people that they're missing,
6:27
Speaker 5: maybe that had something to do with it.
6:29
Speaker 1: But who cares.
6:30
Speaker 5: You're going out there and you're this is still a
6:32
Speaker 5: team that is twelve and five. I mean, it was
6:34
Speaker 5: twelve and four coming into the game. It's not like
6:36
Speaker 5: it's it was a pushover whether you're not they have
6:39
Speaker 5: the injuries or not. I think that that, yeah, you
6:41
Speaker 5: want to clean some stuff up. You want to if
6:43
Speaker 5: you get down there, you want to end up putting
6:45
Speaker 5: up more points because their offense played better than thirteen points. Yes,
6:49
Speaker 5: and but the defense, I mean did it matter. Did
6:51
Speaker 5: you need more than four points? I think four points
6:53
Speaker 5: would have got it done.
6:54
Speaker 3: Yea would have done it been quite the game.
6:57
Speaker 1: I would love.
6:57
Speaker 4: That would have been in all some way to win
7:00
Speaker 4: the division.
7:01
Speaker 1: Yeah, well it would have been a little bit.
7:03
Speaker 5: I think then we would be even a little bit
7:04
Speaker 5: more critical of how the heck do you not score
7:07
Speaker 5: any points if you only got two safeties offensively? Because
7:10
Speaker 5: they did they looked. I mean, Donald was efficient. But
7:13
Speaker 5: not all games are the same. I mean, thirteen to
7:15
Speaker 5: three is not the same as just a thirteen to
7:17
Speaker 5: three where you don't do anything, but you have, you know,
7:20
Speaker 5: two long field goals and some you know, punt return
7:23
Speaker 5: for a touchdown where you didn't do anything offensively. Sam
7:25
Speaker 5: Darnald was efficient, the run game was spectacular, and the
7:29
Speaker 5: defense just said, we're not going to give them anything.
7:31
Speaker 5: I mean not anything. We're not going to give them.
7:34
Speaker 5: I mean, every single blade of grass was fought for
7:36
Speaker 5: and they took it from them. They said, Nope, all
7:39
Speaker 5: that matters is that we get to win. Whether or
7:41
Speaker 5: not we score thirteen or thirty three, it doesn't matter.
7:45
Speaker 5: Just get the win. And they went out there and
7:46
Speaker 5: absolutely dominated them.
7:47
Speaker 7: It's interesting too, though, because in a thirteen to three game,
7:50
Speaker 7: ordinarily you'd be stressing out, like, oh god, because if
7:53
Speaker 7: you know, at any moment, we can make a mistake
7:55
Speaker 7: and they're right back in this game.
7:57
Speaker 6: But you did not.
7:58
Speaker 7: Get the impression that that defense was going to make
8:00
Speaker 7: a mistake on Saturday night, like the thirteen to three
8:02
Speaker 7: was not nearly as stressful as ordinarily I think it
8:06
Speaker 7: would have.
8:06
Speaker 3: No, I think that's absolutely right now.
8:09
Speaker 4: There was that moment, the interception that bounced off McCaffrey's hands,
8:13
Speaker 4: where there was certainly he had to give rise to
8:16
Speaker 4: the thought of are you serious, Are you really gonna
8:19
Speaker 4: let them have one touchdown? Drive this entire game and
8:22
Speaker 4: make the close of this game excruciating? Because it certainly
8:26
Speaker 4: didn't feel that way throughout the contest. But once Drake
8:30
Speaker 4: Thomas got that interception, I might have even written that
8:33
Speaker 4: down game. I think I wrote game over right at
8:36
Speaker 4: that moment in the contest. But defensively, I mean considering
8:41
Speaker 4: how well San Francisco looked like they were playing on
8:46
Speaker 4: the offensive side of the ball. I mean, Christian McCaffrey
8:49
Speaker 4: had twenty three yards rushing. It was like he was
8:52
Speaker 4: running and putting, like every time he got the ball
8:55
Speaker 4: it was just a wall there to greet him. And
8:57
Speaker 4: I'm not sure I Brock Purty threw five passes where
9:01
Speaker 4: he wasn't harassed in the game, and I thought he
9:03
Speaker 4: got murdered on the last.
9:05
Speaker 3: Play of the game. I might like it.
9:06
Speaker 4: Oh that I mean, I actually was just like, oh gosh,
9:10
Speaker 4: I was worried. I was worried for the opposing quarterback
9:13
Speaker 4: that he wasn't going to get up from it.
9:15
Speaker 3: And he did, Thank goodness. He just kind of got,
9:18
Speaker 3: you know, saying.
9:18
Speaker 6: Are two different directions.
9:19
Speaker 1: Yeah, he kind of.
9:20
Speaker 4: Got lawn chaired in the middle of the field and
9:23
Speaker 4: he was fine. And I'm glad that he is fine.
9:26
Speaker 4: But man, you know, a guy that had been playing untouched,
9:31
Speaker 4: unscathed the last couple of weeks. I think he was
9:34
Speaker 4: responsible for ten touchdowns the previous two weeks, and once
9:39
Speaker 4: again one against a playoff caliber team and the Bears,
9:42
Speaker 4: for goodness sake, for Seattle to dominate defensively that much
9:49
Speaker 4: shows you how phenomenal that Mike McDonald is and how
9:54
Speaker 4: great a head coach that John Schneider picked. And I'll
9:58
Speaker 4: tell you a couple of years ago, this organization was
10:02
Speaker 4: admitted a crossroads, and I don't think it was a
10:05
Speaker 4: slam dunk decision to get rid of Pete Carroll. I
10:10
Speaker 4: understood why they did. I was surprised, though I was surprised.
10:15
Speaker 4: I thought Pete Carroll had earned you have to bottom out,
10:18
Speaker 4: you got to have like a four and thirteen season,
10:21
Speaker 4: five and twelve season if you're going to get rid
10:24
Speaker 4: of Pete Carroll, considering everything he'd accomplished here in Seattle.
10:28
Speaker 4: But certainly the Seahawks were stuck in this almost Pittsburgh
10:32
Speaker 4: Steelers mode of just kind of they're not bad, but
10:36
Speaker 4: we're not getting any.
10:37
Speaker 3: Closer to great here in the last few years.
10:40
Speaker 4: And so for John Schneider to kind of make that
10:42
Speaker 4: decision in twenty twenty four and then to just absolutely
10:47
Speaker 4: pick a gym from that head coaching cycle to get
10:50
Speaker 4: Mike McDonald at that point, and then ever since that time,
10:54
Speaker 4: ever since Mike McDonald started letting John know the type
10:58
Speaker 4: of player that he needed, has John Schneider missed anything.
11:01
Speaker 4: I mean like it that I mean it has just
11:03
Speaker 4: been a John Schneider masterpiece.
11:05
Speaker 3: In twenty twenty five, the.
11:07
Speaker 4: Quarterback decisions that he had to make, because again same situation,
11:12
Speaker 4: Geno wasn't bad, but getting an upgrade at quarterbacks not
11:17
Speaker 4: the easiest thing to do when you're not picking at
11:20
Speaker 4: the top of the draft. Ever, and so for him
11:23
Speaker 4: to not just make the not just find a trade partner,
11:27
Speaker 4: but then have the counter move of getting Sam Darnold
11:31
Speaker 4: in free agency and for that tool worked out as
11:33
Speaker 4: well as it has, plus DeMarcus Lawrence plus all of
11:37
Speaker 4: the draft picks that he's nailed the last three years.
11:40
Speaker 4: I mean, this organization has just had a phenomenal year.
11:44
Speaker 4: The poor Mariners had their best year in franchise history,
11:47
Speaker 4: and hear the Seahawks the same year, maybe putting together
11:51
Speaker 4: their masterpiece season. Now they still have the postseason to go,
11:55
Speaker 4: but this was a masterpiece by John Schneider to put
11:58
Speaker 4: this team together with this head coach who got this
12:01
Speaker 4: kind of buy in from beginning of last season until now,
12:05
Speaker 4: and for them to go from a little north of
12:09
Speaker 4: mediocrity to statistically the best team in franchise history. I mean,
12:15
Speaker 4: they are statistically the best team in franchise history, most
12:19
Speaker 4: wins in a season in franchise history, and to go
12:22
Speaker 4: into the playoffs as the one seed and I think
12:24
Speaker 4: the undisputed favorite to win the Super Bowl right now,
12:28
Speaker 4: I mean, in terms of the Vegas odds, just remarkable.
12:33
Speaker 4: What a phenomenal twenty twenty five for the Seahawks organization.
12:37
Speaker 5: Well, I mean I think a lot of times when
12:39
Speaker 5: you I'm not one and I don't think any of
12:41
Speaker 5: us here on our show are one that are in
12:43
Speaker 5: a hurry to lop off heads and fire people when
12:47
Speaker 5: they're not doing very well. And yet I think there's
12:49
Speaker 5: a lot of times that what you've done in the
12:51
Speaker 5: past gives you credibility, and understandably so, and yet that'll
12:56
Speaker 5: go too far. Sometimes the powers that be will just
12:59
Speaker 5: stick with its status quo because well, he you know,
13:02
Speaker 5: we will just win our super Bowl and you know,
13:04
Speaker 5: really could have been two and and and yet there
13:08
Speaker 5: comes a point in time where you just have to say,
13:10
Speaker 5: are we okay with middling and mediocre?
13:12
Speaker 1: Are we okay with it?
13:13
Speaker 5: And a lot of people stick with it simply because
13:16
Speaker 5: it's like, well, do we know the grass is greener
13:18
Speaker 5: on the other side of the fence. Well, what John
13:20
Speaker 5: Schneider said was, I don't care. Well, I do care,
13:24
Speaker 5: but I don't know if the grass is going to
13:25
Speaker 5: be greener. But I can't find out unless I jump
13:28
Speaker 5: across the fence. And he basically, yeah, I got rid
13:30
Speaker 5: of one of the you know, definitely the most decorated
13:33
Speaker 5: coach in Seahawk's history. I mean, the only guy that
13:35
Speaker 5: won a Super Bowl here and Pete carrolln said, I
13:38
Speaker 5: need some new blood. I need something new, I need
13:40
Speaker 5: a fresh voice. I need I need to probably go
13:44
Speaker 5: with a new version of what is the next best defense?
13:48
Speaker 5: What is the defense that can stop the Sean mcvays
13:51
Speaker 5: and and the Kyle Shanahans. And we just basically watched
13:54
Speaker 5: right down the stretch of this thing when when the
13:56
Speaker 5: division was up up for grabs with the Rams and
13:58
Speaker 5: the Niners. The coaching part of this thing I saw
14:02
Speaker 5: before the game started. Did you guys see It was
14:04
Speaker 5: on the telecast and all of a sudden, they're getting
14:06
Speaker 5: ready to kick off, and you just saw this smile
14:09
Speaker 5: from Mike McDonald. I don't know if you guys caught
14:11
Speaker 5: that that little moment. It was almost like he knew,
14:13
Speaker 5: like we're here, this is us, We're gonna take this.
14:17
Speaker 5: It was just like this, a very confident smile. And
14:20
Speaker 5: I don't know if he was looking across looking at
14:22
Speaker 5: Kyle Shanahan, but it just felt to me like I'm
14:25
Speaker 5: the one that's I'm taking over this thing. I'm taking
14:27
Speaker 5: over the division, and they went out there and did
14:29
Speaker 5: exactly that.
14:29
Speaker 7: I did catch that moment, and the only reason I
14:31
Speaker 7: remember it is because my two girlfriends that were at
14:34
Speaker 7: our house were going on about how hot Kyle Shanahan was,
14:37
Speaker 7: and then they showed Mike McDonald and they're.
14:39
Speaker 6: Like, whooh, but our coach is pretty hot too, And
14:42
Speaker 6: so that's.
14:42
Speaker 1: The only think of the same thing.
14:44
Speaker 6: And that's the only.
14:44
Speaker 7: Reason it sticks in my mind because I was like, gosh,
14:46
Speaker 7: you didn't catch that smile. Note wait, I remember that
14:48
Speaker 7: part of the conversation. All the husbands and I were like, Okay,
14:51
Speaker 7: we can be done talking about how hot the coaches
14:53
Speaker 7: aren't good.
14:54
Speaker 1: I mean, that's all. I couldn't get over it either.
14:56
Speaker 6: Yeah, I know, I know you were having the same thoughts.
14:58
Speaker 1: I yeah, so.
14:59
Speaker 4: Hot, Shane Sdyke, And you didn't get knocked out of
15:02
Speaker 4: the playoffs because you're.
15:03
Speaker 1: Ugly, Shane.
15:05
Speaker 3: You know it's because you're bad.
15:07
Speaker 7: Right right, not as attractive as apparently Kyle Shanahan and
15:12
Speaker 7: my girlfriend night.
15:13
Speaker 4: All right, Well, the Seahawks don't have to play this week,
15:18
Speaker 4: and we get to watch football just with joy on Saturday,
15:21
Speaker 4: Sunday and Monday. We'll actually introduce a little competition as
15:26
Speaker 4: well to the festivities this weekend.
15:29
Speaker 3: But today today is.
15:31
Speaker 4: About setting you all up for where we sit right
15:34
Speaker 4: now in the National Football League season. What an exciting
15:38
Speaker 4: time of the sports year. So let's find out what
15:42
Speaker 4: is on tap for the rest of the show today.
15:46
Speaker 3: What's on TEP?
15:49
Speaker 1: What's on TEP?
15:50
Speaker 4: All right, So Seahawks went thirteen to three against the
15:53
Speaker 4: forty nine Ers Saturday night to win the division, take
15:56
Speaker 4: the buye and get the home field advantage throughout the
16:00
Speaker 4: NFC playoffs, and of course the buys more valuable than
16:03
Speaker 4: ever because you're the only team that gets it. So
16:06
Speaker 4: a lot of people, i mean, Kyle Shanahan said going
16:08
Speaker 4: into the game they were treating like a playoff game.
16:10
Speaker 4: This is as important as a playoff game to try
16:13
Speaker 4: to get the difference between a one seed and a
16:15
Speaker 4: five seed or possibly a six seed in San Francisco's case,
16:19
Speaker 4: which is what they ended up with. So we'll set
16:22
Speaker 4: that scene for you in a moment. But Greg Bell,
16:25
Speaker 4: I'll let you know we'll be joining us today at
16:27
Speaker 4: seven oh five, so we'll recap the victory and also
16:31
Speaker 4: Monday morning quarterback today, so Hugh Millan will be with
16:34
Speaker 4: us at eight o'clock till ten o'clock. Mike Holmgren will
16:37
Speaker 4: be with us from nine o'clock until ten o'clock. So
16:40
Speaker 4: the NFL Wild Card schedule is set, including times and
16:44
Speaker 4: dates for which the teams will play. Saturday at one
16:48
Speaker 4: thirty is when the postseason gets underway. Did I mention
16:51
Speaker 4: the Seahawks don't have to play this week? Carolina will
16:55
Speaker 4: host the Los Angeles Rams starting at one thirty, So
16:59
Speaker 4: that's the four And I had an interesting conversation with
17:01
Speaker 4: my sushi guy and we're trying to like figure out
17:07
Speaker 4: like the best path for the Seahawks, and he was
17:11
Speaker 4: actually kind of hoping to avoid both the Rams and
17:15
Speaker 4: the forty nine ers in the postseason.
17:18
Speaker 3: And you got to remember that they do reshuffle.
17:21
Speaker 4: They recede after the first round, so there is a
17:23
Speaker 4: way that you could avoid both of them, but it
17:27
Speaker 4: requires Green Bay to beat the Bears. So if the
17:31
Speaker 4: Green Bay beats the Bears, you face the Packers. Seahawks
17:34
Speaker 4: face face the Packers in round number two, and then
17:37
Speaker 4: whatever else happens, they would have to square off against
17:40
Speaker 4: one another. So not only I mean it sounds like
17:43
Speaker 4: we're wanting our cake and eat it too. Not only
17:45
Speaker 4: do we have the buye in the one seed in
17:46
Speaker 4: the home field, and bad and and everything else. Now,
17:49
Speaker 4: I got my sushi guy wanting us to face the
17:51
Speaker 4: worst team in the NFC playoffs in round number two.
17:54
Speaker 3: So but there is a way, there is a way
17:55
Speaker 3: that you.
17:56
Speaker 4: Don't face the Rams Panthers winner and round number two
18:00
Speaker 4: because they receive Green Bay will play at Chicago at
18:04
Speaker 4: five o'clock on Saturday night. The Sunday lineup is Buffalo
18:07
Speaker 4: at Jacksonville, which I think is the best game of
18:10
Speaker 4: the weekend.
18:11
Speaker 3: I think that's so fascinating.
18:13
Speaker 4: Then you got San Francisco at Philadelphia, as Nick Sirianni
18:17
Speaker 4: decided it wasn't worth getting the two seed yesterday, which
18:22
Speaker 4: we can talk about a little bit later on in
18:24
Speaker 4: the show, so he didn't play a starters yesterday. And
18:27
Speaker 4: the Chargers will be at New England to take on
18:31
Speaker 4: the Patriots as well. That will be the seven in
18:34
Speaker 4: the AFC versus the number two Denver getting the number
18:38
Speaker 4: one seed. And then Monday night, Yes, there will be
18:41
Speaker 4: a Monday night playoff game this week, Houston at Pittsburgh.
18:46
Speaker 4: As the Steelers did take the North last night. If
18:50
Speaker 4: you did not stay up to watch it or got distracted,
18:54
Speaker 4: you missed.
18:55
Speaker 3: Like football history. That was unbelievable. That fourth quarter.
18:59
Speaker 4: We'll cover all that with cold Turkey Sandwich coming up
19:01
Speaker 4: here at six point thirty a board of scores. It
19:04
Speaker 4: is Black Monday. We've already have some victims. We know
19:07
Speaker 4: that Raheem Morris and Terry Fontineau are out as head
19:10
Speaker 4: coach in GM and Atlanta and the Falcons have already
19:14
Speaker 4: announced their replacements in terms of the front office. They
19:18
Speaker 4: have not announced their head coach, but Matt Ryan is
19:21
Speaker 4: going to have a position in the front office with
19:24
Speaker 4: the Atlanta Falcons. And they've also gotten rid of their
19:27
Speaker 4: president as well, Rich McKay. They've reassigned him somewhere else
19:30
Speaker 4: within the organization. Kevin Stefanski rumors started yesterday that he
19:35
Speaker 4: wasn't going to keep his job. These rumors are usually
19:39
Speaker 4: true when you start hearing him this time of the year.
19:41
Speaker 4: So Kevin Stefanski is out as of this morning as
19:45
Speaker 4: head coach of the Cleveland Browns, despite winning two Coach
19:49
Speaker 4: of the Year honors as a member of the Cleveland Browns.
19:52
Speaker 4: He is going to be a hot candidate for some
19:55
Speaker 4: of these other vacancies this offseason, and it hasn't been
19:58
Speaker 4: announced officially yet, but the expectation is that Pete Carroll
20:02
Speaker 4: will also be let go by the Las Vegas Raiders
20:05
Speaker 4: after just one year on the job and finishing with
20:09
Speaker 4: the worst record in the National Football League. The draft
20:12
Speaker 4: order is set. The Raiders will have the number one
20:15
Speaker 4: selection in the draft. We'll go over the rest of
20:18
Speaker 4: the top ten in cold Turkey sandwich here at the
20:21
Speaker 4: bottom of the hour. College Football Playoff the final four
20:25
Speaker 4: will be held Thursday and Friday of this week, and
20:28
Speaker 4: so college football resumes with its three most important games
20:33
Speaker 4: starting on Thursday. And of course, the transfer portal opened
20:37
Speaker 4: as well since last week opened on the second, and
20:41
Speaker 4: we had our most significant signing as Brandon Soresby, the
20:46
Speaker 4: star quarterback at Cincinnati, was courted by several premier programs.
20:52
Speaker 4: There were a couple of rumors that had him locked
20:54
Speaker 4: in somewhere else over the weekend, but it is now official.
20:58
Speaker 4: He's going to Texas Tech. So if you were watching
21:01
Speaker 4: the Red Raiders facing the Ducks, and you were rooting
21:04
Speaker 4: for the Red Raiders like Ashley and I were, then
21:08
Speaker 4: you might have been saying, well, if they had a quarterback,
21:10
Speaker 4: they could beat this team. That quarterback was terrible against Oregon,
21:14
Speaker 4: and Oregon made him that way. But the Red Raiders
21:17
Speaker 4: obviously saw the same thing, and they went out and
21:20
Speaker 4: got the best quarterback in the transfer portal, at least
21:23
Speaker 4: on paper. Brandon Soarsby College basketball UDB lost to Indiana,
21:28
Speaker 4: but it was kind of fun to watch them play
21:30
Speaker 4: at Indiana's Assembly Hall. Ninety to eighty was the final
21:34
Speaker 4: score last night. And the Kraken. We'll be at Calgary
21:38
Speaker 4: tonight at six point thirty taking on the Flames. All right,
21:41
Speaker 4: A lot to do today coming up next though, a
21:44
Speaker 4: board of scores. That's right, we'll eat, will feast on
21:47
Speaker 4: a cold turkey sandwich. On Chuck and Buck Sports Radio
21:50
Speaker 4: ninety three point three KJRFM.
21:54
Speaker 8: Tyler loop Made is only trot tonight from forty He
21:58
Speaker 8: is thirty of thirty three on the season. He has
22:02
Speaker 8: not missed brook the inside of the yards. This will
22:07
Speaker 8: be a forty four yard attempt. It will come from
22:10
Speaker 8: the middle of the field. And here's the snap, the spot,
22:12
Speaker 8: the kick is on the way.
22:14
Speaker 3: It is no god, they missed it.
22:16
Speaker 8: It's why to the right, and the Pittsburgh Steelers had
22:20
Speaker 8: won the division.
22:21
Speaker 3: The Steelers are going to the playoffs.
22:24
Speaker 1: Tyler Luke missed it?
22:26
Speaker 4: Why right?
22:27
Speaker 1: And the Steelers had.
22:28
Speaker 8: Won the game twenty six to twenty four.
22:31
Speaker 3: Pittsburgh winsd they AFC North. Wow, that was a game.
22:41
Speaker 7: I almost didn't even want to just play that highlight
22:43
Speaker 7: because there was so many other good ones, especially in
22:45
Speaker 7: even the last three minutes of the game.
22:46
Speaker 4: Oh, Aaron Rodgers, MA, it's beautiful throws last night, great
22:51
Speaker 4: concept designs to get Zay Flowers open down field. Lamar
22:55
Speaker 4: Jackson actually reminded us that he's Lamar Jackson a couple
22:58
Speaker 4: of times last night. Back in forth fourth quarter, one
23:03
Speaker 4: of the great fourth quarters, considering what was at stake,
23:05
Speaker 4: you're ever gonna see between two of the great rivals
23:10
Speaker 4: in all of sports. And it ends up Pittsburgh winning
23:14
Speaker 4: by a final score of twenty six to twenty four
23:17
Speaker 4: as Tyler Loop misses a game winning forty four yard
23:20
Speaker 4: field goal attempt for the win. I mean, it was
23:23
Speaker 4: a big storyline in the offseason, you know. The Justin
23:26
Speaker 4: Tucker seemed like a pretty obvious decision. He was coming
23:29
Speaker 4: off a bad year, had a terrible off field story
23:32
Speaker 4: attached to him, and so they decide it's time to leave.
23:35
Speaker 4: And man, even when you try to do the right thing,
23:38
Speaker 4: you try to take the moral high ground. What happens
23:40
Speaker 4: you lose your season because your rookie kicker can't handle
23:43
Speaker 4: the moment.
23:44
Speaker 3: I mean it wasn't even close. He missed that thing
23:46
Speaker 3: by a mile.
23:48
Speaker 5: Yeah, and yet I mean he's was pretty good for them, yeah,
23:51
Speaker 5: most of the year. I mean if there was anything,
23:54
Speaker 5: I mean, you can look at the ravens now sitting
23:56
Speaker 5: outside of the playoffs, and there's nobody wh would say
24:00
Speaker 5: up until that kick that it's because you have a
24:02
Speaker 5: bad kicker. I mean, he's great all year long. And
24:06
Speaker 5: and that's a tough one.
24:07
Speaker 1: Men.
24:07
Speaker 5: I mean you kind of just figure, Okay, he's gonna make.
24:10
Speaker 5: He's gonna make. Most of these kickers are going to
24:12
Speaker 5: make the ones that are within their range more often
24:15
Speaker 5: than not. But with all the marbles on the table
24:17
Speaker 5: and you have, you have to do it. It's either you
24:20
Speaker 5: make it and you advance, and if you don't, your
24:23
Speaker 5: season's over. To miss that one. I would hate to
24:26
Speaker 5: be like his parents more than even him.
24:28
Speaker 7: I think, well, that's the one thing I think now, Yeah,
24:32
Speaker 7: when I do watch that stuff now, I think, oh
24:34
Speaker 7: my gosh.
24:35
Speaker 6: That poor kid, like yeah, and like a parent, like oh,
24:38
Speaker 6: I feel so bad. For him that. I mean, he
24:41
Speaker 6: just put his hands to his face.
24:42
Speaker 7: And you could tell he was already like crying. I
24:45
Speaker 7: just felt so bad for him.
24:46
Speaker 4: The Ravens, really, I mean, you don't have anybody to
24:50
Speaker 4: blame but yourself as a team. You did not play
24:52
Speaker 4: very well this year and you finish eight nine, So
24:55
Speaker 4: it's not like you were some you know, spectacular thing
24:59
Speaker 4: that just got edged at the last moment because your
25:02
Speaker 4: kicker didn't come through. So the Ravens are out, the
25:05
Speaker 4: Steelers are in with a twenty six to twenty four victory.
25:09
Speaker 4: The highlight provided there by Westwood One Ryan Radkey on
25:12
Speaker 4: the call. Let's get to the rest of the board
25:14
Speaker 4: of scores here on cold turkey sandwich, Tampa Bay, going
25:17
Speaker 4: back to Saturday afternoon, in a driving rain, defeated the
25:20
Speaker 4: Carolina Panthers sixteen to fourteen. Now, the NFL had planned
25:25
Speaker 4: for this game to be a lot more meaningful than
25:27
Speaker 4: it actually turned out to be. Because Atlanta defeated the
25:33
Speaker 4: Rams last week after the NFL had already said its
25:36
Speaker 4: schedule for the weekend, the Falcons opened up an avenue
25:40
Speaker 4: where Carolina, even with a loss, gets into the playoffs.
25:44
Speaker 4: There ended up being a three way tie, the tiebreaker
25:48
Speaker 4: would fall to Carolina. A two way tie and it
25:51
Speaker 4: would have fallen to Tampa Bay. Atlanta had to then
25:55
Speaker 4: lose to New Orleans on Sunday in order for the
25:58
Speaker 4: Buccaneers to make it in to the postseason by winning
26:01
Speaker 4: the division with an eight to nine record, Atlanta defeated
26:05
Speaker 4: the New Orleans Saints nineteen to seventeen, and so it's
26:09
Speaker 4: Carolina that facts into the playoffs as the South Division
26:14
Speaker 4: champions in the NFC. And I know we saw the
26:17
Speaker 4: sad Baker Mayfield face on the couch. That's got to
26:20
Speaker 4: be disappointing. But again, like Baltimore, you have nobody to
26:23
Speaker 4: blame it yourself. You had a huge lead in that
26:26
Speaker 4: division and you couldn't win a game in the second
26:29
Speaker 4: half of the season until the last game of the year.
26:32
Speaker 5: Yeah, I mean, if you end up not getting in
26:34
Speaker 5: and you're eight and nine, I don't know if you
26:36
Speaker 5: can really blame anybody. Now, somebody had to get in
26:39
Speaker 5: from that division, the Carolina Panthers did. I kind of
26:41
Speaker 5: feel like it's a bullet dodged for the NFC, just
26:46
Speaker 5: simply because the way Baker Mayfield played in that game,
26:49
Speaker 5: where it was like, we got to win just to
26:51
Speaker 5: give ourselves a chance. They looked a whole heck of
26:53
Speaker 5: a lot more like the Tampa Bay Buccaneers that you
26:55
Speaker 5: expected or that you saw in the first half of
26:57
Speaker 5: the season, and instead Carolina's getting in there. Who knows
27:00
Speaker 5: what you get with them, You know, if you you
27:02
Speaker 5: end up playing a loss.
27:03
Speaker 3: I think they're getting a loss with them.
27:05
Speaker 4: Yeah, I think the Carolina Panthers are probably a seed.
27:08
Speaker 1: Yep.
27:09
Speaker 3: Minnesota Vikings ended up nine to eight on the year.
27:12
Speaker 4: Somehow, they defeated the Packers yesterday sixteen to three. The
27:15
Speaker 4: Packers set their starters, as coach l Floor decided it
27:20
Speaker 4: is far more important not to lose another player to injury,
27:24
Speaker 4: and so we're going to just accept our seven seed
27:27
Speaker 4: fate and we're gonna go ahead and take this one
27:30
Speaker 4: on the chin.
27:30
Speaker 3: We don't care if we move up the rankings. So
27:32
Speaker 3: they did end up with the seven seed.
27:34
Speaker 4: Philadelphia made the same decision, and yet Philadelphia seem to
27:38
Speaker 4: have a lot more to play for.
27:40
Speaker 3: Yeah, they set their starters and decided.
27:43
Speaker 4: It's more important, And Sirianni explained this afterwards, that we
27:48
Speaker 4: don't lose a player to injury a valuable player to
27:52
Speaker 4: injury than.
27:53
Speaker 3: It is to get the two seed in the NFC.
27:56
Speaker 4: Playoffs, And so they have just outright accepted the fact
28:00
Speaker 4: that we are perfectly willing to go to Chicago in
28:03
Speaker 4: round number two if that's what it comes to, rather
28:06
Speaker 4: than risk losing a good player for the postseason. Now,
28:11
Speaker 4: little criticism has been heaped on Nick Sirianni, but it
28:14
Speaker 4: sounds like a lot of coaches felt that way heading
28:17
Speaker 4: into the last week of the regular season. Philadelphia does
28:20
Speaker 4: lose to the Commanders twenty four to seventeen. Washington finishes
28:25
Speaker 4: five to twelve, and we'll have the seventh pick in
28:27
Speaker 4: the draft. The Chicago Bears played their guys and lost anyway,
28:32
Speaker 4: They lost to the Detroit Lions, so the Lions ended
28:34
Speaker 4: up sweeping them. This year, Ben Johnson gets the laugh
28:38
Speaker 4: over his former employer by winning the division and Detroit
28:42
Speaker 4: not even making the playoffs. But he never did get
28:45
Speaker 4: to defeat Dan Campbell head to head this year. Nineteen
28:48
Speaker 4: to sixteen was the final score yesterday. The Bears will
28:52
Speaker 4: get the number two seed in the playoffs. Jacksonville forty
28:56
Speaker 4: one seven winners over the Tennessee Titans. This could have
29:00
Speaker 4: ended with any seed for Jacksonville but the four seed.
29:03
Speaker 3: They could have gotten the.
29:04
Speaker 4: One, two of three, five, six, seven, anything but the
29:08
Speaker 4: four seed. Yesterday, they ended up on the number three seed,
29:11
Speaker 4: winning forty one to seven over Tennessee. The Titans end
29:15
Speaker 4: up with the number four pick in the draft. Houston
29:18
Speaker 4: had started CJ Stroud. As soon as they saw Jacksonville
29:22
Speaker 4: pulling away, they decided it's not worth risking anything the
29:25
Speaker 4: rest of the way, so they pulled their starters and
29:28
Speaker 4: they still managed to beat the Indianapolis Colts thirty eight
29:31
Speaker 4: to thirty, so the Texans get the five seed. They'll
29:34
Speaker 4: face Pittsburgh on the road on Monday night. Houston finished
29:38
Speaker 4: the season on a nine game winning streak, nine games
29:42
Speaker 4: in a row. They won ten of their last eleven.
29:45
Speaker 4: They finished with the number one defense statistically in the NFL.
29:49
Speaker 4: Not Mike McDonald and the Seahawks, not the Denver Broncos.
29:52
Speaker 4: The Houston Texans finished with the number one defense in
29:55
Speaker 4: the National Football League. Meanwhile, the other side of it,
29:58
Speaker 4: Bucky the Indianapolis Colts lost seven straight to close out
30:01
Speaker 4: the year, eight of their last nine.
30:03
Speaker 3: They didn't even finish with a five hundred record.
30:06
Speaker 5: Crazy considering how hot they were at the beginning of
30:08
Speaker 5: the year. And yet I mean the injury to the quarterback,
30:11
Speaker 5: and you know, Daniel Jones was playing well and then
30:14
Speaker 5: he went down and they kind of went south. And
30:16
Speaker 5: obviously we got to witness first hand here that you know,
30:19
Speaker 5: Philip Rivers was not going to be able to get
30:21
Speaker 5: the job done. But yeah, I think the Texans and Jacksonville,
30:25
Speaker 5: both those teams are dangerous when when it comes right
30:28
Speaker 5: down to it, both of them.
30:29
Speaker 1: Have good defenses and you never know.
30:31
Speaker 5: It kind of feels like both those quarterbacks would go
30:33
Speaker 5: out there and whoop you as well.
30:34
Speaker 3: I have no idea what's going to happen in the
30:36
Speaker 3: AFC playoffs.
30:37
Speaker 4: None nofin So yeah, New England Patriots have the two seed.
30:42
Speaker 4: They defeated Miami thirty eight to ten yesterday. They did
30:46
Speaker 4: not get help from the Los Angeles Chargers in a
30:48
Speaker 4: lot of different ways. Jim Harbaugh decided to rest a
30:51
Speaker 4: lot of his starters, including Justin Herbert. Again, another coach
30:56
Speaker 4: that decided, I don't want injuries telling the story, bigger
31:00
Speaker 4: story next week. So let's just we're in the playoffs.
31:03
Speaker 4: We'll take our seventh seed and We'll be happy with that,
31:08
Speaker 4: Denver and Sean Payton. They approached it like a playoff game,
31:12
Speaker 4: very valuable obviously to get that one seed and play
31:15
Speaker 4: and the home field advantage throughout the playoffs. So they
31:18
Speaker 4: accomplished what they set out to accomplish. They won nineteen
31:21
Speaker 4: to three, the Broncos fourteen and three on this season.
31:26
Speaker 4: And then you've got the part of cold turkey sandwich.
31:29
Speaker 4: We'll call this.
31:30
Speaker 3: The you know, you know, this is the.
31:34
Speaker 6: Salad and oh yeah, okay, the fresh veggies.
31:37
Speaker 4: Yeah, then the fresh vege that we're throwing on cold
31:40
Speaker 4: turkey sandwich.
31:41
Speaker 3: The draft.
31:41
Speaker 4: The New York Giants won yesterday. They had a chance
31:45
Speaker 4: that the number one pick in the draft, but of
31:47
Speaker 4: course had to start with them losing and then the
31:50
Speaker 4: Raiders winning. Well, they went out and won their fourth
31:55
Speaker 4: game of the year, So not only do they not
31:57
Speaker 4: get the number one pick, they fell all the way
31:59
Speaker 4: to number five with their thirty four to seventeen win
32:02
Speaker 4: over the Cowboys.
32:03
Speaker 3: Now, the Raiders.
32:05
Speaker 4: As good of a situation as Pete Carroll could have
32:08
Speaker 4: expected under the circumstances that they still end up with
32:13
Speaker 4: the number one pick, but he got a win to
32:15
Speaker 4: close out the year over the Kansas City Chiefs. He's
32:18
Speaker 4: probably gonna get fired today, and so at least Pete
32:21
Speaker 4: Carroll got to walk off the field and which I'm
32:24
Speaker 4: sure is going to be his last game as an NFL.
32:26
Speaker 3: Head coach with a victory. Yeah, So I'm happy for
32:29
Speaker 3: him for.
32:30
Speaker 6: You, Yeah, I mean, I only want good things for
32:32
Speaker 6: Uncle Pete.
32:32
Speaker 3: Yeah. Kansas City finished six and eleven.
32:35
Speaker 6: Yeah, that was a surprise.
32:36
Speaker 1: Wow.
32:37
Speaker 4: Travis Kelcey was asked about retirement. When he's gonna make
32:40
Speaker 4: the decision, he goes, I have no idea. So he's
32:43
Speaker 4: not any rush to do anything to satisfy the media,
32:46
Speaker 4: nor should he be. The Arizona Cardinals are going to
32:49
Speaker 4: have the number three pick in the draft. They lost
32:51
Speaker 4: to the Rams yesterday thirty seven to twenty. The Rams
32:55
Speaker 4: ended up with the five seed, which bumped the San
32:57
Speaker 4: Francisco forty nine ers down to the six seats. Stafford
33:01
Speaker 4: four touchdown passes in the last game of the year
33:04
Speaker 4: gave him forty six for the year. He definitely had
33:08
Speaker 4: an MVP caliber season. The Jets will pick second in
33:11
Speaker 4: the draft. They lost to the Buffalo Bills thirty five
33:13
Speaker 4: to eight. The Bills did not risk Josh Allen yesterday
33:18
Speaker 4: and they still won by twenty seven points over the
33:21
Speaker 4: New York Jets. They'll face Jacksonville this weekend, and then
33:24
Speaker 4: finally record breaking day four. Miles Garrett. He looked like
33:29
Speaker 4: he was gonna crush the single season sack record earlier
33:32
Speaker 4: in the season.
33:33
Speaker 3: He couldn't get one the last.
33:34
Speaker 4: Couple of weeks, and he only got one yesterday, but
33:37
Speaker 4: he only needed one his twenty third sack of the year.
33:41
Speaker 4: It makes him the record setter for most sacks in
33:44
Speaker 4: one season.
33:46
Speaker 3: He got one against Joe Burrow.
33:47
Speaker 4: In a twenty to eighteen win over the Cincinnati Bengals yesterday,
33:52
Speaker 4: So Miles Garrett has now the sack record for most
33:57
Speaker 4: sacks and a single season with twenty three. Brown celebrated
34:00
Speaker 4: that by firing their head coach this morning. And Kevin Stefanski,
34:04
Speaker 4: So here is your draft order. It'll be Las Vegas one,
34:07
Speaker 4: Jets two, Cardinals three, Titans four, Giants five, Cleveland six,
34:12
Speaker 4: Washington seven, New Orleans eight, Cincinnati nine, and Kansas City ten.
34:18
Speaker 4: And here is your wild card slate for this weekend's playoffs.
34:22
Speaker 4: The Rams at Carolina at one thirty on Saturday, Green
34:26
Speaker 4: Bay at Chicago at five o'clock. Then on Sunday Buffalo
34:30
Speaker 4: at Jacksonville ten am at one thirty, San Francisco at Philadelphia,
34:35
Speaker 4: and the Chargers will be at New England at five
34:38
Speaker 4: o'clock Sunday night. Then on Monday, yes, there will be
34:41
Speaker 4: a Monday playoff game this week Houston at Pittsburgh at
34:45
Speaker 4: five fifteen.
34:46
Speaker 3: So there you go.
34:47
Speaker 4: It's all settled now. And now we get ready for
34:51
Speaker 4: the postseason. And I don't remember who has the number.
34:55
Speaker 3: One seed in the NFC playoffs.
34:56
Speaker 1: I forgot.
34:57
Speaker 6: Oh, I know who, Ashley, It's.
35:01
Speaker 3: The Seahawks.
35:02
Speaker 2: Babe.
35:03
Speaker 4: Wow, that seems like important. Maybe we should discuss that more.
35:07
Speaker 4: Coach Bucky's gonna join us next Sports Radio ninety three
35:09
Speaker 4: point three KJRFM. We are back to a full work week,
35:14
Speaker 4: back to the routine, back to the grind. I for one,
35:17
Speaker 4: Coach Bucky kind of fired up for it, kind of
35:20
Speaker 4: looking forward to getting back into the normal schedule here.
35:23
Speaker 4: Would you advise me to feel that way? Or does
35:28
Speaker 4: Coach Bucky coach and teach to his young people to
35:31
Speaker 4: try to avoid work as much as possible.
35:34
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, I go that route.
35:35
Speaker 5: I mean no, as a coach, I would be like, yes,
35:38
Speaker 5: it's right, get back into it, get those five days in,
35:41
Speaker 5: you go work your little butt off and you get
35:43
Speaker 5: good at it and you just keep going. And then
35:45
Speaker 5: But as an older coach, now I'm like, no, I
35:48
Speaker 5: really like the two days off, even if it's in
35:50
Speaker 5: the middle of the week. Yeah, you know, I'd prefer
35:52
Speaker 5: Monday and Friday off. You know, just have forty weekend everyone.
35:56
Speaker 5: But I would not complain if the world just decided
36:00
Speaker 5: everybody from now on gets Wednesday and Thursday off. All right,
36:03
Speaker 5: just go Monday, Tuesday, bang out those two days real quick,
36:06
Speaker 5: get a couple, get a reprieve, come back and finish
36:09
Speaker 5: it up on Friday.
36:10
Speaker 1: Just get yourself ready for the weekend. I would be
36:11
Speaker 1: okay with that.
36:12
Speaker 6: You're teaching efficiency, right, yeah hard.
36:15
Speaker 5: If I can get done five days worth of great
36:18
Speaker 5: content or whatever in three days, then do that.
36:21
Speaker 3: I needed to coach.
36:21
Speaker 4: I coach Bucky when I was younger, because I'm sitting
36:24
Speaker 4: here thinking, coming in on a Monday, and I'll just
36:26
Speaker 4: to get back on track. We should do two a
36:28
Speaker 4: day's two shows a day. They do one this morning
36:31
Speaker 4: and then we come back later and do softy show.
36:33
Speaker 4: Go ahead and do that. I'm just gonna go.
36:36
Speaker 5: I'm gonna probably I will participate from home with my
36:41
Speaker 5: ears only.
36:43
Speaker 4: All right, heart, all right, Coach Bucky Well, The Seahawks
36:46
Speaker 4: ended up with the number one seed in the NFC playoffs,
36:50
Speaker 4: all the dust settled from the regular season, the schedules
36:54
Speaker 4: all mapped out.
36:56
Speaker 3: So what's the team and the NFC to avoid right now?
37:00
Speaker 4: I mean, we just faced the forty nine Ers, seem
37:02
Speaker 4: to have a pretty easy time with them. Face the
37:04
Speaker 4: Rams not long ago. They're not playing their best football
37:07
Speaker 4: right now. Philadelphia is the defending champs. The Chicago Bears
37:12
Speaker 4: could be dangerous. So as we get ready to start
37:15
Speaker 4: the NFC playoffs, already accomplished the buy the one seed
37:18
Speaker 4: and all of that stuff, but certainly you still got
37:21
Speaker 4: games to win. Who should the Seahawks.
37:25
Speaker 3: Want to avoid?
37:26
Speaker 5: I mean, I would think the Rams kind of seems
37:29
Speaker 5: like the team. I mean, the Bears, you don't know
37:31
Speaker 5: for sure they are the number two seed, but they
37:33
Speaker 5: don't feel like they're that scary necessarily.
37:37
Speaker 1: The Rams.
37:38
Speaker 5: You know, you ended up losing a game to them
37:41
Speaker 5: early that you probably outplayed them, and then you won
37:43
Speaker 5: a game that you got outplayed in and you kind
37:46
Speaker 5: of you know, had some bounces and things go your
37:48
Speaker 5: way for that comeback victory that propelled them right here
37:51
Speaker 5: to the number one seed. I would think, you're that's
37:54
Speaker 5: probably the team if there was one of them that
37:56
Speaker 5: you don't want to face that you're thinking, and I
37:58
Speaker 5: wouldn't think anybody is like, oh, I don't want to
38:00
Speaker 5: face anybody. I think that they are clear cut the
38:03
Speaker 5: number one team in the NFC, and rightfully so. But yeah,
38:06
Speaker 5: that's probably the team that'd be like. I don't know
38:08
Speaker 5: if I necessarily would like that. I think if you
38:10
Speaker 5: had your drugs at this point, I would want If
38:12
Speaker 5: I'm a Seahawks fan, I would want the Bears to
38:15
Speaker 5: win their game, the Eagles to win their game, and
38:18
Speaker 5: then have the Panthers knock off the Rams and you
38:21
Speaker 5: get to play the Panthers in your first game to
38:23
Speaker 5: send yourself to the NFC Championship.
38:26
Speaker 4: No, you would have to face San Francisco and.
38:30
Speaker 1: And the Bears one.
38:31
Speaker 5: Yeah, if they win as chalk, then I think that
38:33
Speaker 5: would be the way you'd want it to go.
38:35
Speaker 1: But I don't think that. I don't think the Panthers
38:37
Speaker 1: are going to beat the Rams.
38:38
Speaker 4: Yeah, I would like to also ride a unicorn over
38:40
Speaker 4: a rainbow to a pot of gold.
38:42
Speaker 5: Oh but if you can get that Panthers and in
38:44
Speaker 5: your first game and a unicorn ride, yeah, that would
38:48
Speaker 5: be I mean, think you're things are looking good around
38:50
Speaker 5: here right now?
38:51
Speaker 1: Yeah, maybe you get that all right.
38:52
Speaker 4: AFC playoffs, the Broncos are the one seed. Who's the
38:56
Speaker 4: team that you most want to avoid in the AFC?
39:01
Speaker 4: I would like to buy like three buys. Is there
39:03
Speaker 4: any way that Broncos can get three buys with them? No,
39:07
Speaker 4: that would be a lot cool because I have no idea,
39:10
Speaker 4: to be honest. I mean, the Steelers would be the
39:12
Speaker 4: team I would say you'd want to face. That would
39:14
Speaker 4: be the Panthers of the a f C. And yet
39:17
Speaker 4: everybody else.
39:18
Speaker 5: The Texans are dangerous defensively, Jaguars just kind of have.
39:22
Speaker 1: Something going on right now.
39:24
Speaker 5: The Bills have the best quarterback in the city in
39:27
Speaker 5: the entire you know situation as far as who could
39:30
Speaker 5: just go take the game from you, And yet the
39:33
Speaker 5: Patriots and Chargers are both dangerous as well.
39:35
Speaker 1: So to me, bring on all comers.
39:38
Speaker 5: If the Broncos go out and play the way that
39:40
Speaker 5: they're capable, they can beat any team.
39:42
Speaker 1: If they go out and play the way.
39:43
Speaker 5: That I've seen them at certain times, they could lose
39:46
Speaker 5: any of these teams as well.
39:47
Speaker 3: Yeah. Is there snow in the forecast. That was just
39:49
Speaker 3: way too pretty yesterday in Denver for this time of
39:52
Speaker 3: the year. Yeah, snow.
39:54
Speaker 1: I haven't lived for the forecast.
39:57
Speaker 3: It look like palm springs yesterday.
40:00
Speaker 5: Well, it's like that to have to have. It might
40:01
Speaker 5: snow two feet one day and the next day it's seven.
40:04
Speaker 6: It's one of the sunniest spots in the CA.
40:06
Speaker 1: It's beautiful.
40:07
Speaker 3: Yeah, it's a wonderful place playoff time, you know.
40:10
Speaker 4: Yeah, No, we need winter weather in winter weather in Denver, Colorado,
