  Speaker 2: Fox Sports Radio.
• 0:32
  Speaker 1: And we begin anew this hour, and it's all about
• 0:37
  Speaker 1: the NFL in Cana City. It's seemingly a birthright for
• 0:43
  Speaker 1: the Chiefs to end up in the AFC Championship Game
• 0:46
  Speaker 1: at least, if not the Super Bowl.
• 0:47
  Speaker 3: Well, in order to do that.
• 0:49
  Speaker 1: You have to make the playoffs, and that appears to
• 0:52
  Speaker 1: be all but done at this point. While not mathematically eliminated,
• 0:57
  Speaker 1: realistically eliminated. We go to Arrowhead where we'll Anderson, the
• 1:01
  Speaker 1: headline linebacker leading the NFL's top ranked defense. They Houston
• 1:08
  Speaker 1: Texans taking on Patrick Mahomey and the Chiefs. It was
• 1:12
  Speaker 1: an island game. Oh the island lighte for me, the
• 1:14
  Speaker 1: island life for me. Chris Collinsworth and Mike Tariko had
• 1:18
  Speaker 1: to call on in me.
• 1:20
  Speaker 4: Now.
• 1:20
  Speaker 1: I don't know if you watched it or not, perhaps not,
• 1:23
  Speaker 1: but he was a turnover Poloosa as Houston intercepted Mahomes
• 1:28
  Speaker 1: not once, not twice, but three times and stopped Kansas
• 1:32
  Speaker 1: City on not one, but two fourth down tries in
• 1:37
  Speaker 1: the second half late in the game, and they win
• 1:41
  Speaker 1: twenty to ten. They being the team from Texas, they
• 1:44
  Speaker 1: go to Arrowhead Stadium and.
• 1:48
  Speaker 3: There you go, there you go.
• 1:49
  Speaker 1: They go to Aerohead Stadium and they end up winning
• 1:52
  Speaker 1: the game on the road, a game that has major
• 1:56
  Speaker 1: AFC playoff implications.
• 1:58
  Speaker 3: Nick go, he's pretty good. I hear, I hear, he's
• 2:02
  Speaker 3: pretty good.
• 2:03
  Speaker 1: And he got it done there and had four catches
• 2:05
  Speaker 1: one hundred and twenty one yards as the Texans get
• 2:08
  Speaker 1: their eight.
• 2:09
  Speaker 3: Win of the year, the eight and five, and they win.
• 2:11
  Speaker 5: Their fifth straight overall, and they are burn dogging the
• 2:16
  Speaker 5: Jacksonville Juguars, who blew out the free falling Indianapolis Colts.
• 2:23
  Speaker 3: They're about done there.
• 2:24
  Speaker 1: It's a nice story for a few weeks, but the
• 2:25
  Speaker 1: Daniel Jones down for the county. Even if you stayed healthy,
• 2:28
  Speaker 1: they still would have been out. So the AFC South,
• 2:31
  Speaker 1: you got Jacksonville and Houston, but we're talking about Houston here.
• 2:34
  Speaker 1: But the better story is in the losing locker room,
• 2:38
  Speaker 1: and so that is where we're going to go. The Chiefs,
• 2:40
  Speaker 1: who have been to the Super Bowl three straight years,
• 2:43
  Speaker 1: are now under five hundred six and seven is the record,
• 2:49
  Speaker 1: and they need.
• 2:50
  Speaker 3: A whole lot of health.
• 2:52
  Speaker 1: They need a whole gaggle, a whole gaggle of Guardian
• 2:57
  Speaker 1: angels if they're gonna make this happen here and get
• 3:00
  Speaker 1: in the plus, there would have to be some serious
• 3:02
  Speaker 1: manipulation for then, beginning as one of the wildcard teams,
• 3:05
  Speaker 1: you can forget about winning the division that is ov
• 3:08
  Speaker 1: er Kansas City if you believe the nerds. The nerds
• 3:12
  Speaker 1: will tell you that they only have a sixteen percent
• 3:15
  Speaker 1: chance to make the postseason, according to one of the
• 3:19
  Speaker 1: many playoff simulators making the rounds.
• 3:22
  Speaker 3: On this overnight.
• 3:23
  Speaker 1: Not only that, but the Chiefs, even if they win
• 3:26
  Speaker 1: the four games they've got upcoming here, they would still
• 3:30
  Speaker 1: only have about a fifty to fifty shot a little
• 3:34
  Speaker 1: over that fifty two percent to make it to the postseason,
• 3:37
  Speaker 1: meaning that not only they must win every game, but
• 3:41
  Speaker 1: they also need a couple of teams to lose multiple times.
• 3:45
  Speaker 1: You look at the tie breakers Jacksonville and Houston, Well,
• 3:50
  Speaker 1: the Chiefs lost to both those teams, so.
• 3:53
  Speaker 3: One of them is gonna have to lose a couple
• 3:54
  Speaker 3: of times. You know.
• 3:56
  Speaker 1: If they're in neck and neck for the wildcard spot,
• 3:59
  Speaker 1: that's assuming the Chiefs and win four more games.
• 4:01
  Speaker 3: So let us discuss that is a.
• 4:03
  Speaker 1: Good jumping off point. Let's start with the quote of
• 4:05
  Speaker 1: the week in the NFL from Andy Reid. Andy Reid
• 4:09
  Speaker 1: had said this week leading into the game on Sunday night,
• 4:12
  Speaker 1: he said the Chiefs were going to try to tickle
• 4:14
  Speaker 1: the Texans tonsils on every play.
• 4:17
  Speaker 3: How did that go?
• 4:20
  Speaker 1: So I've got auto club, juggling, trope, and bonfire, and
• 4:27
  Speaker 1: we will combine all of these things together and we
• 4:32
  Speaker 1: are going to make a nice vacation.
• 4:36
  Speaker 3: Which is what the Chiefs will be able to do
• 4:37
  Speaker 3: if they will make the playoffs. They go to a nice, long, hot,
• 4:40
  Speaker 3: niggity dog vacation.
• 4:41
  Speaker 1: Art So, hey, let's carve the turkey, and boy, the
• 4:44
  Speaker 1: Chiefs were a turkey, we'll carve with a butter knife.
• 4:47
  Speaker 1: Because Andy Reid, that quote, what a great quote, and.
• 4:51
  Speaker 3: Mois it good?
• 4:52
  Speaker 1: And we're going to tickle the tonsils on every play.
• 4:55
  Speaker 1: Of course, then they had to play the game. And
• 4:58
  Speaker 1: what exactly happened there, Well, Kansas City got a full
• 5:02
  Speaker 1: blown prostate exam administered by the Houston Defense.
• 5:06
  Speaker 3: So it did not go quite the way they were
• 5:08
  Speaker 3: hoping for.
• 5:09
  Speaker 1: No amnesia, no warning, just a nice prostate exam, just
• 5:13
  Speaker 1: bend over Fellas. This once magical Mahomes, magic, the chiefs
• 5:19
  Speaker 1: and all that. Right now at this point they need
• 5:21
  Speaker 1: to call the auto club and get a tow truck
• 5:24
  Speaker 1: over there, because I think the tow trucks in the
• 5:27
  Speaker 1: parking lot idling over there because the Geloppie has a
• 5:31
  Speaker 1: run out of gas and there's some problems with the engine.
• 5:35
  Speaker 1: Here they're not just stuck in the mud, they are
• 5:38
  Speaker 1: buried like a mini van and.
• 5:39
  Speaker 3: A mud slide. At this particular point here you got.
• 5:42
  Speaker 1: Mahomes, who's mister Hall of Famer and all that, and
• 5:46
  Speaker 1: his podcast buddy Travis Kelce the bearded Babe for Taylor Swift.
• 5:53
  Speaker 1: There the security blanket, well, I think had one catch
• 5:56
  Speaker 1: in this game.
• 5:57
  Speaker 3: And so the line is that iron sharpman's iron.
• 6:01
  Speaker 1: That's you know, you go against the top defense, you
• 6:03
  Speaker 1: test yourself where you are and in this case iron
• 6:07
  Speaker 1: turned into aluminum foil getting shredded in a kitchen blender.
• 6:12
  Speaker 3: As you are what your.
• 6:14
  Speaker 1: Record says you are. And right now the Chiefs are
• 6:17
  Speaker 1: under five hundred. That is the outfit they are. They're
• 6:20
  Speaker 1: under five hundred, and it looks on a seemingly we
• 6:24
  Speaker 1: weekly basis here you watch them play that they're running
• 6:29
  Speaker 1: a malfunctioning do hickey. The do hickey is malfunctioning about
• 6:34
  Speaker 1: on this game it was over eighty percent of the times,
• 6:36
  Speaker 1: eighty three percent of the time. Now, how did I
• 6:38
  Speaker 1: get to the number eighty three percent? That the Chiefs
• 6:40
  Speaker 1: are miles apart from where they need to be? So
• 6:43
  Speaker 1: eighty three percent of the time they had twelve drives
• 6:46
  Speaker 1: Kansas City did. Four of the drives ended up in punts,
• 6:49
  Speaker 1: three of them ended up in interceptions, and two of
• 6:53
  Speaker 1: them turnover on downs slim pickens and a partridge in
• 6:57
  Speaker 1: a pear tree of incompetence.
• 6:59
  Speaker 3: And Kansas City also went four to fourteen. I'm third down.
• 7:02
  Speaker 3: I'm told that's not good.
• 7:04
  Speaker 1: And you had my favorite, the receivers playing volleyball with
• 7:08
  Speaker 1: Mahomes passes there and suddenly the playoff odds for Kansas
• 7:13
  Speaker 1: City looked like a deflated balloon at a kid's birthday
• 7:17
  Speaker 1: party at all sad wheezing. No lyft done of that stuff.
• 7:22
  Speaker 1: To Again, this was not as Andy Reid described it.
• 7:25
  Speaker 1: It was not tonsil tickling that took place. This was
• 7:28
  Speaker 1: the Texans domination and the turnovers of the defense leading
• 7:35
  Speaker 1: to all the points the Texans scored in the second half.
• 7:39
  Speaker 1: So it's not like the Texans did much of anything
• 7:41
  Speaker 1: against the Chiefs defense, but the mistakes by Kansas City
• 7:46
  Speaker 1: setting off the Texans for some points there. Now turning
• 7:50
  Speaker 1: the page to the quarterback room, and the question on
• 7:53
  Speaker 1: this one is what can be said about Patrick Mahomes
• 7:57
  Speaker 1: and his struggles for the Chiefs in this in this game.
• 8:01
  Speaker 1: And so this was a full on migraine to the
• 8:07
  Speaker 1: tenth degree. There is a full on migraine there for Mahomes,
• 8:11
  Speaker 1: and somebody needs to go down to the pharmacy, go
• 8:13
  Speaker 1: down to Walgreens, get some pharmacy grade ibuprofen, because the
• 8:17
  Speaker 1: standard is the standard is Mike Tomlin says, they're in Pittsburgh,
• 8:20
  Speaker 1: but the standard is the standard in general. And Mahomes
• 8:25
  Speaker 1: belly wopped and flopped right under it and don't blame
• 8:30
  Speaker 1: the makeship offensive line. That was a big part of
• 8:32
  Speaker 1: this game coming in signing guys off the street. They
• 8:35
  Speaker 1: were getting guys off Craig's list and offer up, Hey,
• 8:37
  Speaker 1: how would you like to play offensive line for the
• 8:39
  Speaker 1: chief Sure, I guess I'll play offensive line for the Chiefs.
• 8:41
  Speaker 1: How much does it pay? What are the benefits? How
• 8:44
  Speaker 1: many hours a day do I have to work? All
• 8:45
  Speaker 1: that stuff? Mahomes is only sacked twice. Now he was
• 8:48
  Speaker 1: pressured a bunch, but he was only sacked twice. And
• 8:50
  Speaker 1: this was a pass catcher mutiny. A pass catcher mutiny
• 8:56
  Speaker 1: is what happened in this particular game. It just was
• 9:01
  Speaker 1: Kansas City's receivers formed a VIP club, as in, very
• 9:07
  Speaker 1: ineffective people, a very ineffective people at catching the ball.
• 9:11
  Speaker 1: They had six drop passes in this game. And that's
• 9:15
  Speaker 1: an NFL receiving court. Of course, when you drop six passes,
• 9:18
  Speaker 1: it's not really an NFL receiving court. That's a juggling
• 9:22
  Speaker 1: troop that without the hand one coordination. I mean, Mike go,
• 9:25
  Speaker 1: we could put inca terror blind Scott Stevie, meatballs, blind Emmett,
• 9:29
  Speaker 1: the Great Blind Army of the Malla and Militia, and
• 9:32
  Speaker 1: they could juggle better than the receivers in terms of
• 9:37
  Speaker 1: catching the ball. Rashie Rice had a fourth and four
• 9:41
  Speaker 1: on a fourth down play and the pass was right there,
• 9:45
  Speaker 1: and then what do you do? That was a chef's kiss,
• 9:49
  Speaker 1: chef's kiss of incompetence. Mahomes stepped off, delivered to strike
• 9:55
  Speaker 1: and then Rice treats it like a hot potato. What
• 9:59
  Speaker 1: are you doing?
• 10:00
  Speaker 3: So?
• 10:00
  Speaker 1: Second straight week he coughed off a late throw out.
• 10:05
  Speaker 1: Remember the game against Dallas. And if only he caught
• 10:09
  Speaker 1: passes the way he drives recklessly through Dallas, they'd be
• 10:13
  Speaker 1: onto something. And then you've got Travis Kelce, mister swift,
• 10:17
  Speaker 1: the podcast guy who decided to play like a podcaster
• 10:21
  Speaker 1: as he bobbled one up in the air like he
• 10:23
  Speaker 1: was trying out for the Olympic.
• 10:24
  Speaker 3: Beach volleyball team. And that was picked off, and that
• 10:28
  Speaker 3: was that.
• 10:28
  Speaker 1: Here's Andy Reid, big Red, Big Red, what do you
• 10:31
  Speaker 1: have to say for all those passes that were battered
• 10:33
  Speaker 1: in the air everywhere?
• 10:34
  Speaker 6: Oh listen, these are great players, So I mean, we
• 10:37
  Speaker 6: gotta make sure we catch the ball. They know that,
• 10:39
  Speaker 6: and they're trying a flag effort there all went through
• 10:44
  Speaker 6: their hands, and that happens. You know, those guys are
• 10:49
  Speaker 6: great players.
• 10:50
  Speaker 1: Okay, well they weren't on this night. Great players, so
• 10:53
  Speaker 1: that's wonderful. They have good resumes and good pro football
• 10:56
  Speaker 1: reference pages. But it didn't help you in this game.
• 10:58
  Speaker 1: And as the line of thinking goes.
• 11:01
  Speaker 3: All that matters is what you do in the moment.
• 11:03
  Speaker 1: Right, they flipped the script and so the Texans are
• 11:07
  Speaker 1: feeling pretty good about themselves into the stratosphere. So Mahomes
• 11:10
  Speaker 1: ends up with one of the worst games of his
• 11:12
  Speaker 1: career since he established himself as the greatest quarterback of
• 11:16
  Speaker 1: this generation. He had nineteen incomplete passes nineteen of them
• 11:22
  Speaker 1: fourteen of thirty three nineteen incomplete passes, no touchdowns, and
• 11:26
  Speaker 1: three interceptions, a passer rating below twenty, which means indeed,
• 11:30
  Speaker 1: if the Chiefs had just stabbed the ball and hiked
• 11:32
  Speaker 1: and thrown in the ground, he would have had a
• 11:34
  Speaker 1: higher passer rating. Now that's not the face of the dynasty.
• 11:38
  Speaker 1: It was not in this game. That's a quarterback stuck
• 11:40
  Speaker 1: in football traffic and you're just right there on the
• 11:44
  Speaker 1: world's longest one lane road, and it's a season long frustration.
• 11:50
  Speaker 1: It's just one little thing here and then a thing
• 11:53
  Speaker 1: of a jig over there, and the what you McCall,
• 11:55
  Speaker 1: it doesn't work, and then you find yourself here a
• 11:58
  Speaker 1: bunch of self inflicted wounds everywhere. And that's how you
• 12:03
  Speaker 1: end up going from a AFC championship team to out
• 12:07
  Speaker 1: of the playoffs.
• 12:09
  Speaker 3: Just like that.
• 12:10
  Speaker 1: Now, last word, a lot of people trying to climb
• 12:13
  Speaker 1: on to the bandwagon for the Houston Texans, trying to
• 12:17
  Speaker 1: get a little you know, get a seat there, and
• 12:20
  Speaker 1: there's no seats left. So it's like those trains in
• 12:22
  Speaker 1: is it India where they you know, the big train
• 12:25
  Speaker 1: is like once a year they jump on top.
• 12:26
  Speaker 3: Of the train. It's like an amazing thing. Have you
• 12:29
  Speaker 3: ever seen that before? I think it's in India? But CJ.
• 12:32
  Speaker 1: Stroud two hundred and three yards and a touchdown, And
• 12:37
  Speaker 1: the question here does this win.
• 12:40
  Speaker 3: At Arrowhead Stadium?
• 12:42
  Speaker 1: Does it lessen the pressure, the immense pressure on the
• 12:47
  Speaker 1: Texans quarterback CJ.
• 12:48
  Speaker 3: Stroud? Remember the Texans.
• 12:50
  Speaker 1: Had done fine when he was out, In fact, they
• 12:52
  Speaker 1: started finding their mojo with Davis Mills the backup. So
• 12:56
  Speaker 1: does this win at Arrowhead help things out for CJ?
• 12:59
  Speaker 1: Sh I would say absolutely not if anything. If you
• 13:05
  Speaker 1: saw the game, it throws another log on the bonfire.
• 13:10
  Speaker 1: It throws another log on the bonfire. That makes me
• 13:12
  Speaker 1: what Kansas City practically hand delivered five turnovers, three picks,
• 13:18
  Speaker 1: two turnovers on downs, a couple of them deep deep
• 13:22
  Speaker 1: in their own territory. It's kind of like somebody dropping
• 13:26
  Speaker 1: their wallet at your feet with a big water cash
• 13:31
  Speaker 1: sticking out and they walk away. And then Stroud still
• 13:34
  Speaker 1: needed a search party to close the deal in the
• 13:39
  Speaker 1: second half, and he had a front row seat CJ.
• 13:42
  Speaker 1: Stroud on the vomit comet. He was right there on
• 13:45
  Speaker 1: the vomit comet, and not on the same street, not
• 13:49
  Speaker 1: the same stride of the street with his receivers.
• 13:51
  Speaker 3: In the second half, a road win at Arrowhead, CJ.
• 13:55
  Speaker 1: Stroud attempted twelve passes, completed three of them for thirty
• 13:59
  Speaker 1: two yards in the second and won a game on
• 14:01
  Speaker 1: the road, won a game on the road, took the
• 14:04
  Speaker 1: checkered flag, got it done on the road. Three passes
• 14:10
  Speaker 1: he completed in the second half, And it looks like
• 14:13
  Speaker 1: the passer ready thirty nine point five is like the
• 14:16
  Speaker 1: speed limit.
• 14:17
  Speaker 3: In the school zone.
• 14:19
  Speaker 1: And that's not exactly taking things to the next level
• 14:22
  Speaker 1: and cranking it up a couple of notches.
• 14:24
  Speaker 3: Big boy quarterbacking that is.
• 14:26
  Speaker 1: Training wheels stuff. And don't overlook the fact that all
• 14:31
  Speaker 1: ten points scored by Houston was courtesy of the bloopers
• 14:36
  Speaker 1: of the Chiefs. They're bloopers there set them up in
• 14:42
  Speaker 1: the second half. And you look, the Texas were not
• 14:45
  Speaker 1: driving the bus. Kansas City was blindly stumbling into traffic.
• 14:50
  Speaker 1: And the narrative doesn't change because you survived. The Chiefs
• 14:55
  Speaker 1: melt down there on offense and you got a good
• 14:58
  Speaker 1: defense and Stroud that's the point.
• 15:00
  Speaker 3: Though he didn't quiet any of the noise. He did.
• 15:04
  Speaker 3: He just turned the.
• 15:04
  Speaker 1: Volume up and it went from jackhammer volume to leaf
• 15:09
  Speaker 1: blower volume, and you're just the pressure is still at
• 15:13
  Speaker 1: full blast because the Texans remain a lopsided team. They're
• 15:17
  Speaker 1: a top heavy team, They've got an elite defense, and
• 15:21
  Speaker 1: that offense is just not very good. And you know
• 15:24
  Speaker 1: down the line the postseason, you're gonna have these issues
• 15:27
  Speaker 1: where unless the defense gets two or three turnovers and
• 15:30
  Speaker 1: the other team's just completely incompetent, you're not gonna get
• 15:33
  Speaker 1: much of.
• 15:33
  Speaker 3: Anything out of your quarterback.
• 15:36
  Speaker 1: And that's just the way is You're gonna have to
• 15:38
  Speaker 1: find points in the nook and crannies of your offense
• 15:40
  Speaker 1: because there's just not a lot there, and that's just
• 15:43
  Speaker 1: the reality of the situation.

  Speaker 1: playing like it right now. No, they're not the bright
• 16:49
  Speaker 1: lights of Monday night football. The La Power Company was
• 16:55
  Speaker 1: hosting the team from Philadelphia and Joe back Troy Aikman
• 16:59
  Speaker 1: were They had the call on a bced so I
• 17:04
  Speaker 1: don't saw a game or not if we watching, I
• 17:05
  Speaker 1: was at the game for a good chunk of it.
• 17:08
  Speaker 1: Had to leave early to get here. It's my duty
• 17:12
  Speaker 1: to the American people to come in here do sports talk.
• 17:15
  Speaker 1: So I couldn't be stuck in traffic. But Cameron Dicker,
• 17:18
  Speaker 1: the kicker, had to go ahead fifty four yard field goal.
• 17:23
  Speaker 1: He ended up kicking five field goals in the game.
• 17:26
  Speaker 1: And Tony Jefferson, who well, he intercepted on a tip
• 17:32
  Speaker 1: pass Jalen Hurts at the one yard line and that
• 17:36
  Speaker 1: lifted the Chargers to a twenty two to nineteen victory
• 17:40
  Speaker 1: over the free falling Philadelphia Eagle. What a bunch of
• 17:45
  Speaker 1: chumps the Eagles are, And it was somewhat enjoyable to
• 17:49
  Speaker 1: see the very braggadosius Eagle fan base who looked a
• 17:54
  Speaker 1: little numb the way that Jalen Hurts was playing in
• 17:58
  Speaker 1: this particular game. Now, the better story is in the
• 18:01
  Speaker 1: losing locker room, and so that is where we're going
• 18:02
  Speaker 1: to go. Jalen Hurts had to be kind a clunker,
• 18:06
  Speaker 1: a clunker for the Ages for Jalen Hurts, who threw
• 18:10
  Speaker 1: not one, not two, not three, but four four interceptions
• 18:15
  Speaker 1: and the Eagles committed five turnovers in the game. Jalen
• 18:20
  Speaker 1: Hurt said the two for one. We'll get to that
• 18:23
  Speaker 1: coming up in a minute. And here is the man
• 18:27
  Speaker 1: of the hour. Thought's start with Jalen Hurts here on
• 18:30
  Speaker 1: the overtime, the Eagles had gotten into field goal range.
• 18:35
  Speaker 1: There was a penalty on the Chargers on a fourth
• 18:37
  Speaker 1: down play that extended the drive for Philadelphia, which set
• 18:40
  Speaker 1: up the interception and the final blow, the final body blow,
• 18:44
  Speaker 1: body blow. Here is Jalen Hurts on what a night.
• 18:48
  Speaker 1: Four interceptions. Let's talk about that last one.
• 18:51
  Speaker 9: I knew it was going to be a tight window drow.
• 18:55
  Speaker 9: I'd have to watch the film to see it from
• 18:59
  Speaker 9: the ays film's point of view. Ultimately, it's a play
• 19:03
  Speaker 9: that I didn't make. You got to handle the ball.
• 19:07
  Speaker 3: That's a play that.
• 19:08
  Speaker 9: We've made a million times in that scenario versus a
• 19:13
  Speaker 9: cloud corner, and I didn't make that play this time around.
• 19:17
  Speaker 1: Yes, you did not make that play. So the reigning
• 19:19
  Speaker 1: Super Bowl champions lose their season worst third in a row.
• 19:24
  Speaker 1: They are just three games above five hundred. Now, the
• 19:27
  Speaker 1: good news is they're in the right division. The Giants
• 19:30
  Speaker 1: aren't trying, the Commanders blow, and the Cowboys suck, so
• 19:34
  Speaker 1: they're in a good division. There's no one else who's
• 19:36
  Speaker 1: even competing with them, so they've got that.
• 19:39
  Speaker 3: Going in Philadelphia.
• 19:40
  Speaker 1: However, it doesn't change the fact that Eagles are a
• 19:43
  Speaker 1: total fraud in terms of being a Super Bowl content.
• 19:46
  Speaker 3: Does anyone disagree with that?
• 19:47
  Speaker 1: Like, at this point we do the show today, we
• 19:49
  Speaker 1: have to worry about the show right now, we do
• 19:51
  Speaker 1: the overnight show at this moment. Is there a bigger
• 19:54
  Speaker 1: pretender than the Philadelphia Eagles in terms of actually winning
• 19:58
  Speaker 1: anything the way they.
• 19:59
  Speaker 3: Are right now? God?
• 20:00
  Speaker 1: All right, but let's focus in and it's good jumping
• 20:03
  Speaker 1: off put Let's focus in on the quarterback though, and
• 20:05
  Speaker 1: let's discuss the question, what is Jalen Hurts play? What
• 20:08
  Speaker 1: is the smell around Jalen Hurts like? Just break it
• 20:13
  Speaker 1: down like that, right, what's Jalen Hurts play smell like?
• 20:17
  Speaker 3: For the Eagles? So my thoughts on this, I've.
• 20:20
  Speaker 1: Got John Madden gator and spicy margarita, and we will
• 20:25
  Speaker 1: combine all of these things together and we are going
• 20:30
  Speaker 1: to put the biscuit in the basket. So a, the
• 20:34
  Speaker 1: smell surrounding Jalen Hurts is a pungent smell.
• 20:39
  Speaker 3: It's punging it up. It's so strong. It's actually peeling
• 20:42
  Speaker 3: the paint at the Link in Philadelphia. It's that bad.
• 20:45
  Speaker 3: The paint's peeling down. It smells so bad.
• 20:48
  Speaker 1: And this was a masterpiece of malfunction. And I'm happy
• 20:54
  Speaker 1: I got to see something I've never seen before that
• 20:59
  Speaker 1: we're not sure as happened before, and it happened on
• 21:02
  Speaker 1: a Monday night game here. But before we get to that,
• 21:05
  Speaker 1: when I say that Jalen Hurts went out there and
• 21:07
  Speaker 1: had a masterpiece of malfunction, it was a performance so
• 21:12
  Speaker 1: historically awful it deserves its own wing at the Louver
• 21:18
  Speaker 1: across the Atlantic there. It just deserves its own spot
• 21:21
  Speaker 1: in the museum. And forget Van goll and the da
• 21:24
  Speaker 1: Vini and all the greats, Jalen Hurts in this Monday
• 21:28
  Speaker 1: night game was Jackson Pollock. He was splattering turnovers in
• 21:33
  Speaker 1: the air every way right across the gridiron like a
• 21:37
  Speaker 1: man who was playing possessed by the spirit of abstract incompetence.
• 21:44
  Speaker 3: That was Jalen Hurts in this game.
• 21:46
  Speaker 1: And you saw the play in particular was interception, fumble,
• 21:52
  Speaker 1: recovery and then fumble on the same play. John Madden,
• 21:58
  Speaker 1: if he were still alive, the ghost of John Madden
• 22:00
  Speaker 1: would call that the turnover.
• 22:02
  Speaker 3: Turducan is what that was. That was a turnover to ducan.
• 22:06
  Speaker 1: You got the interception, you get the recovery, and then
• 22:10
  Speaker 1: you get the fumble. That's the Turducan of turnovers for
• 22:13
  Speaker 1: Jalen Hurts. Congratulations the rare double giveaway. The rare double
• 22:19
  Speaker 1: giveaway on one play. And the Nerds claim that their
• 22:24
  Speaker 1: data goes back to nineteen seventy Apparently nothing happened before
• 22:28
  Speaker 1: nineteen seventy eight. Everything after nineteen seventy eight. They have
• 22:30
  Speaker 1: no recorded history of anyone sucking that much on one
• 22:37
  Speaker 1: play like Jalen Hurts. And that's not quarterback play, mind you.
• 22:42
  Speaker 1: That's finger painting while on a dumbball ride at Disney World,
• 22:46
  Speaker 1: is what that was. Now Hertz, who has gone recently
• 22:49
  Speaker 1: from the afterglow of the Super Bowl MVP to the
• 22:55
  Speaker 1: LVP as in Lost Value Player, that's Jalen Hurts right now,
• 22:59
  Speaker 1: the VP, the lost value player, and he's strapped right
• 23:04
  Speaker 1: in that cockpit of the vomit comet, and he's on
• 23:08
  Speaker 1: a full Kma Kazi mission with that Philadelphia Eagles offense
• 23:12
  Speaker 1: right now. And this is not just a one night
• 23:15
  Speaker 1: stink bomb.
• 23:16
  Speaker 3: As we know.
• 23:16
  Speaker 1: We've been documenting here. We have a talk show to
• 23:18
  Speaker 1: do every day, and we come in here and the
• 23:21
  Speaker 1: Eagles are good for business because they won the Super Bowl.
• 23:25
  Speaker 3: They're supposed to be good.
• 23:26
  Speaker 1: And they're underachieving and so it's always fun to talk
• 23:30
  Speaker 1: about teams like this, and they are really living up
• 23:33
  Speaker 1: to the suck mantra in Philadelphia. So the last five games,
• 23:38
  Speaker 1: I mean, that's a good sample size.
• 23:39
  Speaker 3: Is that fair? That's fair?
• 23:41
  Speaker 1: You're shaking your yeah, that's fair. So last five games,
• 23:45
  Speaker 1: Jalen Hurts has a seventy two point three passer rating.
• 23:49
  Speaker 1: He's averaging six point four yards per pass, completing less
• 23:53
  Speaker 1: than sixty percent of his passes despite running a rudimentary
• 23:56
  Speaker 1: Eagles offense. And he's got five interceptions now and three fumbles.
• 24:02
  Speaker 1: And that's the way it's going for Jalen Hurts. And
• 24:04
  Speaker 1: so that's not really a slump. Mind you, that's a
• 24:08
  Speaker 1: five alarm football funk, is what that is for Jalen Hurts.
• 24:13
  Speaker 1: And remember in the NFL, there is no rest for
• 24:15
  Speaker 1: the wicked. So right back at it again for Jaialen Hurts,
• 24:19
  Speaker 1: although the competition does soften going forward. Now page two,
• 24:25
  Speaker 1: let's talk about the leadership vacuum in Philadelphia here, and
• 24:29
  Speaker 1: there's a there's a theme to the Eagles as they
• 24:32
  Speaker 1: continue to have their issues here and the question is
• 24:36
  Speaker 1: do you have any confidence as an outsider, do you
• 24:40
  Speaker 1: have any confidence that Nick Sirianni can stop the bleeding
• 24:44
  Speaker 1: of the birds? Do you have any confidence of that
• 24:48
  Speaker 1: that day you can get it done?
• 24:49
  Speaker 3: There?
• 24:51
  Speaker 1: So I'm gonna go nope on that. That's that's nope
• 24:56
  Speaker 1: for those of you who don't have to spell nope.
• 24:59
  Speaker 1: Zero confidence. And I don't know how anyone could have commence.
• 25:03
  Speaker 1: The Eagles had a similar free fall. I think it
• 25:06
  Speaker 1: was twenty twenty three. They never got out of it,
• 25:09
  Speaker 1: they never were able to stop it, and Sirianni was
• 25:13
  Speaker 1: the head coach of that team. The Eagles right now
• 25:17
  Speaker 1: are like the USS Gerald R.
• 25:19
  Speaker 3: Ford.
• 25:20
  Speaker 1: They are an aircraft carrier and they're very difficult to
• 25:24
  Speaker 1: turn around those aircraft carriers. It's like they're drifting sideways
• 25:28
  Speaker 1: in the Delaware River right now. And Nick Sirianni is
• 25:31
  Speaker 1: standing on deck on the aircraft carrier and he's waving
• 25:34
  Speaker 1: pom poms, and instead of grabbing the wheel and trying
• 25:38
  Speaker 1: to turn, he's on, we're fine. Oh we're good. I
• 25:41
  Speaker 1: love these guys. Ah, they're so good. Let's play rock
• 25:45
  Speaker 1: paper sis is what do you say? Okay, why not?
• 25:47
  Speaker 1: We'll play rock papers?
• 25:49
  Speaker 3: Fine?
• 25:50
  Speaker 1: So you don't turn around the aircraft carrier by saying
• 25:54
  Speaker 1: let's go right into the headset.
• 25:56
  Speaker 3: That doesn't work.
• 25:57
  Speaker 1: Here is Nick Sirianni on the for Interception game for
• 26:03
  Speaker 1: Jalen Hurs.
• 26:03
  Speaker 3: Let's hear what Sirianni had to say on this.
• 26:06
  Speaker 10: This game is the ultimate team game. So it's all
• 26:08
  Speaker 10: it's never you know, it's never just on one person. Ultimately,
• 26:11
  Speaker 10: he always has the ball in his hands, and I
• 26:13
  Speaker 10: know he'll he'll wear a lot of that and own
• 26:16
  Speaker 10: that and and I got to do a better job
• 26:18
  Speaker 10: of helping him in those scenarios. Again, it's always it's
• 26:22
  Speaker 10: never just on execution, right, It's it's always that we
• 26:27
  Speaker 10: look at ourselves as coaches first, and we help them
• 26:29
  Speaker 10: be in position to succeed and then execute right. So
• 26:32
  Speaker 10: obviously never want to turn the ball over. We've been
• 26:35
  Speaker 10: pretty good at that, and tonight was a little uncharacteristic
• 26:38
  Speaker 10: of ourselves.
• 26:40
  Speaker 1: So there's a couple of things here that are classic
• 26:42
  Speaker 1: deflection moves. Jalen hurts in the SoundBite we played, so
• 26:45
  Speaker 1: I gotta watch the tape. That's a classic. I'm not
• 26:48
  Speaker 1: answering the question. I'm gonna say, I'm gonna watch the tape.
• 26:51
  Speaker 1: You'll never ask me about it again, or when you
• 26:53
  Speaker 1: ask me about it again, I'm going to say, well,
• 26:55
  Speaker 1: we've moved on to the next game. And then the
• 26:58
  Speaker 1: it's never on one guy from Sirianni, when yeah, it
• 27:04
  Speaker 1: kind of is. That's why the quarterback gets paid ten
• 27:07
  Speaker 1: times with the other players get it's on him. So
• 27:10
  Speaker 1: you can say whatever you want. It's a team game
• 27:12
  Speaker 1: and all that. Well, the team games are lost by individuals,
• 27:17
  Speaker 1: and Sirianni is a show pony. He is a show pony.
• 27:21
  Speaker 1: He's a sideline cheerleader who thrives when the wind is
• 27:25
  Speaker 1: at his back, and when the wind changes and the
• 27:28
  Speaker 1: storm hits all of a sudden, the high tides and
• 27:32
  Speaker 1: the birds they start leaking oil and all of a sudden,
• 27:36
  Speaker 1: Syrianni does a costume change and he becomes a gator.
• 27:39
  Speaker 1: The inflator gator is Nick Sirianni. As he pumps air
• 27:43
  Speaker 1: into every minor issue, does not solve anything. And then
• 27:48
  Speaker 1: it becomes a full blown circus balloon. And that's the Eagles.
• 27:53
  Speaker 1: And it says, literally blocking the highway there, it's blocking
• 27:57
  Speaker 1: Broad Street there in Philadelphia.
• 27:59
  Speaker 3: It's a mess.
• 28:00
  Speaker 1: And so Jalen Hurts, who looked like a man whose
• 28:04
  Speaker 1: football soul.
• 28:05
  Speaker 8: Had been mugged.
• 28:07
  Speaker 1: He was numb as a bug. And just the whole
• 28:10
  Speaker 1: thing is like, what is going on here? Passes were
• 28:13
  Speaker 1: being tipped, they were just a little bit off, and
• 28:16
  Speaker 1: that's the difference between good and bad, success and failure.
• 28:21
  Speaker 1: And so you've got the AJ Brown situation where he
• 28:25
  Speaker 1: had a bunch of yards, but yet the underlying condition
• 28:29
  Speaker 1: is still alive. They're not singing from the same song sheet,
• 28:32
  Speaker 1: Jalen Hurts and AJ Brown. As you look at it,
• 28:36
  Speaker 1: the coughing is still there. As thirteen targets and AJ
• 28:42
  Speaker 1: Brown had six catches. There was a key drop in
• 28:46
  Speaker 1: the fourth quarter, down in the end zone in a
• 28:49
  Speaker 1: forty six percent catch rate, which doesn't appear to be
• 28:52
  Speaker 1: very good. It screams miscommunication for the Philadelphia Eagles, and
• 28:56
  Speaker 1: there's obviously a lot of frustration with a little dash,
• 29:00
  Speaker 1: just a little dash of diva sprinkles on top at
• 29:04
  Speaker 1: this point. So the schedule, if there is a positive,
• 29:07
  Speaker 1: if you want me to be Benny Brightside, the positive
• 29:09
  Speaker 1: here is the schedule is cotton candy like the Eagles.
• 29:15
  Speaker 1: Even though the Eagles are trash right now, they still
• 29:20
  Speaker 1: should win three of their final four games to close
• 29:22
  Speaker 1: the regular season. Is anyone want to push back on that?
• 29:25
  Speaker 1: Have you seen who they play? The Raiders? The Raiders
• 29:29
  Speaker 1: are up next in Philadelphia. The Raiders have already given up.
• 29:32
  Speaker 1: They're a bunch of quitters. They've got Geno Smith. That
• 29:35
  Speaker 1: tells you they're not trying to win. When you have
• 29:37
  Speaker 1: Geno Smith, you are trying not to win football games.
• 29:41
  Speaker 1: You're just trying to cover. And Pete did cover the spread.
• 29:43
  Speaker 1: Goodship by him. They do have to play the Bills,
• 29:47
  Speaker 1: that's in Buffalo. That'll be a loss. But then you
• 29:49
  Speaker 1: also have two games home and home with the Washington Commandos.
• 29:53
  Speaker 1: So they appear to quit or have quit the way
• 29:56
  Speaker 1: they played against the Minnesota Vikings.
• 29:58
  Speaker 3: So that's what's up ahead.
• 30:00
  Speaker 1: However, right now, the Eagles, they don't need cupcakes is
• 30:04
  Speaker 1: what they need. Competence is what they they need here.
• 30:07
  Speaker 1: And so even if you beat up on the Raiders
• 30:09
  Speaker 1: and the Commanders a couple of times, you're not battle
• 30:13
  Speaker 1: tested when you eventually play a better team. And so
• 30:17
  Speaker 1: Nick Sirianni's not exactly stopping them bleeding here, and if anything,
• 30:21
  Speaker 1: he's picking at the gab. Now what's going to be
• 30:23
  Speaker 1: interesting is this was the kind of game and as
• 30:26
  Speaker 1: we were going through it, there's some chatter in the
• 30:28
  Speaker 1: press box like that somebody's gonna get fired. Now I'm
• 30:30
  Speaker 1: not saying Sirianne's gonna get fired, but this is the
• 30:33
  Speaker 1: kind of a performance when you know and everyone's watching
• 30:36
  Speaker 1: your offense and people are questioning whether or not you
• 30:38
  Speaker 1: should have demoted the offensive coordinator. This is the kind
• 30:41
  Speaker 1: of game that gets Kevin Patulo sacrificed and whacked by
• 30:47
  Speaker 1: the Eagles. Like that's the kind of game where he
• 30:49
  Speaker 1: will either be demoted or just removed from the coaching room.
• 30:53
  Speaker 1: So stay tuned on that. Now. Last word on the
• 30:55
  Speaker 1: Charger side of things, show me your lightning bolt. Good
• 31:00
  Speaker 1: looking uniforms by the Chargers, right, They dressed for success.
• 31:04
  Speaker 1: They had that electric blue on on the Monday night.
• 31:08
  Speaker 1: But can Jim Harbaugh. Can Jim Harbaugh now exhale with
• 31:13
  Speaker 1: the Chargers getting the overtime win over the reigning champions
• 31:18
  Speaker 1: of the NFL. So the answer to this is no,
• 31:23
  Speaker 1: It is no on this one, and not even close.
• 31:25
  Speaker 1: I'm shaking my head now.
• 31:28
  Speaker 3: No.
• 31:28
  Speaker 1: Just for those of you who can watch on the YouTube,
• 31:30
  Speaker 1: we have Ben Mather Show on YouTube. We're actually streaming
• 31:33
  Speaker 1: the monologue.
• 31:34
  Speaker 3: So I'm shaking my head. No, here's why I'm shaking
• 31:36
  Speaker 3: my head. No, all right. In fact, I'm shaking my head.
• 31:39
  Speaker 1: I'm gonna shake my head so much i probably need
• 31:42
  Speaker 1: a chiropractor. No no, no, no, no, no, no no no, no, no, no, no,
• 31:46
  Speaker 1: like just like that. And here's why this was an
• 31:49
  Speaker 1: ugly duckling win. It is an ugly duckling win. The offense.
• 31:54
  Speaker 1: The defense was great, I say great, but the Eagles.
• 31:58
  Speaker 1: The Eagles had their own issu. But here's the deal.
• 32:01
  Speaker 1: The offensive display here, this was a capital you ugly
• 32:08
  Speaker 1: is what it was. You had, and you underline it,
• 32:10
  Speaker 1: you can highlight it however you want. To put a
• 32:12
  Speaker 1: spectacle around it, and you put on a billboard if
• 32:16
  Speaker 1: you want, on the four ROH five. Take one of
• 32:17
  Speaker 1: those ambulance chasing lawyer billboards off the four H five
• 32:20
  Speaker 1: and put that up there. But depending on dicker, the kicker,
• 32:25
  Speaker 1: the idiot kicker for five field goals. And this is
• 32:29
  Speaker 1: we always say the same thing with the Cowboys. It's
• 32:31
  Speaker 1: a blessing and a curse to have a great kicker.
• 32:32
  Speaker 1: Cowboys and Chargers have great kickers. It's a blessing and
• 32:35
  Speaker 1: a curse because you depend on the kicker and you
• 32:38
  Speaker 1: don't win big games with field goals.
• 32:40
  Speaker 3: You don't. This a regular season game, you won it. Congratulations.
• 32:44
  Speaker 1: However, normally, when you get five turnovers, am I not
• 32:48
  Speaker 1: wrong in saying you should win that game by thirty points?
• 32:50
  Speaker 1: If you get five turnovers, you're at home, You put
• 32:54
  Speaker 1: your feet up, you grab a spicy margarita, and you
• 32:58
  Speaker 1: enjoyed garbage time, and you play as on the sidelines.
• 33:01
  Speaker 3: That was not what happened here. They were not on
• 33:03
  Speaker 3: some kind of Royal Caribbean cruise.
• 33:05
  Speaker 1: They were not not the bolt the Chargers who had
• 33:09
  Speaker 1: turned Jalen Hurts, and Jalen was very generous. It's the
• 33:13
  Speaker 1: season of giving, and Jalen Hurts his generosity was generosity
• 33:16
  Speaker 1: machine here for the Philadelphia Eagles.
• 33:19
  Speaker 3: And they managed to get.
• 33:20
  Speaker 1: If my math is correct, I believe six points off
• 33:24
  Speaker 1: five turnovers by the Eagles. They only monetized those into
• 33:28
  Speaker 1: six points. Two field goals. That's all they got off
• 33:31
  Speaker 1: five turnovers. Now they did get the technically the last
• 33:36
  Speaker 1: one they sealed the game because that ended the game,
• 33:39
  Speaker 1: the final interception, But the other four they only got
• 33:41
  Speaker 1: six points out of it, a couple of field goals.
• 33:44
  Speaker 3: And this was the type of game that you have
• 33:49
  Speaker 3: to go back in time. This was a.
• 33:52
  Speaker 1: Super duper football follies VHS tape, the kind your uncle
• 33:57
  Speaker 1: got at the gas station in like ninety three is
• 34:02
  Speaker 1: what this was. And Justin Herbert, he's playing hurt.
• 34:07
  Speaker 3: They didn't touch.
• 34:07
  Speaker 1: They didn't talk about that at all on the broadcast,
• 34:09
  Speaker 1: didn't they No, Justin Herbert, who looked like he was
• 34:13
  Speaker 1: trying to throw a piano on every drop back. Now
• 34:17
  Speaker 1: the Eagles got to him a fair amount. And this
• 34:20
  Speaker 1: is the same thing I say all the time. Just
• 34:24
  Speaker 1: you're gonna repeat yourself again, I know, yeah, say it
• 34:28
  Speaker 1: about CJ. Stroud Gino Smith. I'm gonna say it about
• 34:32
  Speaker 1: Justin Herbert. Get rid of the damn ball, okay, rather
• 34:37
  Speaker 1: a tat tat, get rid of the ball, dummy, And
• 34:41
  Speaker 1: Justin Herbert kept holding onto the ball, holding on the ball,
• 34:45
  Speaker 1: holding on the ball.
• 34:47
  Speaker 3: What are you doing? Just get rid of it and
• 34:50
  Speaker 3: throw it away, my god.
• 34:51
  Speaker 1: And he had two fumbles lost, one of them an
• 34:55
  Speaker 1: interception under fifty percent. He's the Golden child. Every broadcaster
• 34:59
  Speaker 1: licks this, guys toes Justin Herbert, I don't see it.
• 35:04
  Speaker 1: He was holding on the ball like was a family heirloom. Dude,
• 35:08
  Speaker 1: It's just a duke. Get rid of the duke. The
• 35:11
  Speaker 1: Chargers had only twohundred seventy five yards of offense in
• 35:14
  Speaker 1: this game. They had sixteen first downs, two of those
• 35:17
  Speaker 1: via penalty by the Philadelphia Eagles. So you look ahead
• 35:22
  Speaker 1: now that you check the schedule, they play at Kansas City.
• 35:25
  Speaker 1: Kansas City's a lightweight this year, so you play at Arrowhead,
• 35:29
  Speaker 1: then you've got at Dallas, the Texans.
• 35:32
  Speaker 3: In La or in Inglewood, and then at Denver.
• 35:35
  Speaker 1: That is what's left four games left in the regular
• 35:38
  Speaker 1: season for the Chargers at this point. So that's not
• 35:40
  Speaker 1: a stretch round. That's a rocky road. Arrowhead not easy
• 35:44
  Speaker 1: to play at. Dallas has some good offense, although they're
• 35:47
  Speaker 1: not a complete team.
• 35:49
  Speaker 3: And so that's that's where we are.
• 35:51
  Speaker 1: That's rocky road for Jim Harbaugh, and so you can't
• 35:54
  Speaker 1: excel plus hardbass. He's not like that. He doesn't exhale
• 35:57
  Speaker 1: about anything. He's always got to stick up his talks,
• 36:00
  Speaker 1: doesn't he That's what he looks like. It's one of
• 36:03
  Speaker 1: those people and he can barely inhale.
