1:04
of reason here I am what I am Hey, what's up
1:20
everybody? Welcome to another episode of fanatically
1:23
speaking. I'm Kent the co -host and promoter
1:25
I Am log off the log off legend the hater of
1:28
social media. I am the co -host and producer
1:30
to show All right, and this episode is all football
1:35
And it is all NFL all NFL. Well, yeah, mainly
1:40
NFL then we're gonna touch in college But the
1:43
main the main thing is the NFL and it is that
1:46
I am now on the same page with log off We don't
1:50
trust anybody in NFL. DTA, don't trust anybody.
1:55
Don't trust a soul. Don't trust anybody. Don't
1:58
trust any coaching staff. Don't trust any roster.
2:01
Nope. Don't trust any schedule. Don't trust the
2:04
historical precedence of any division. Everything
2:08
is up for grabs and I'm gonna throw a curve ball
2:10
at you, Kent. Okay. And this is something we
2:14
never talked about. It just came to my mind.
2:18
I'm curious what the gambling sports books look
2:21
like because this season has been so unpredictable.
2:26
How can you predict anything? Yeah. I mean, I
2:30
don't know. I don't know. I don't know. I don't
2:31
know what they're thinking. I don't know what
2:32
their mind is going through their minds, but
2:35
this has to be one of the most frustrating NFL
2:38
seasons because no one, anyone can, you can say
2:40
what you want to about how good you think a team
2:42
is. It means nothing right now. Yeah. And I think
2:46
You know, we've touched on gambling a lot, and
2:48
it makes you really think about some stuff that
2:51
happens during these games, some of these decisions
2:53
by the coaches, decisions by players. Referee
2:58
calls? Referee calls. I'm not saying there's
3:00
something going on. I'm just saying that gambling's
3:04
so huge now, and we're seeing stuff that is just
3:07
kind of out of the norm. totally out of the norm.
3:12
And you know, not to go too off script on this,
3:15
but like you said, you mentioned the calls, you
3:17
mentioned, you know, we got players spitting
3:19
on each other. You got, you got kickers kicking
3:23
70 yard field goals. You know, you got, I mean,
3:27
just blatant calls, not being called, you know,
3:31
flimsy calls. you know, being caught being flagged
3:34
and, you know, changing the outcomes of games.
3:37
It's so unpredictable, man. And it just makes
3:40
it hard. So no, I think if this, I think we kind
3:42
of covered the basis, man. Don't trust anybody.
3:45
And, um, go ahead. Where do you want to start,
3:47
man? Which, uh, which matchup from this past
3:49
week do you want to kind of lead off with? I'm
3:52
going to let you go down and just run down the
3:53
schedule and we're going to hit on each game
3:56
quick as we possibly can on the outcome of the
4:00
game and what, and our thoughts. Got it So, yeah,
4:08
let's start um, you know Thanksgiving Green Bay
4:11
in Detroit, so obviously You know Detroit hosts
4:15
the playoff game. I'm sorry the Detroit host
4:18
of Thanksgiving game every year and Here they
4:21
are playing a division opponent in the Green
4:23
Bay Packers The the game was competitive We all
4:28
had high hopes for the for the Lions this year.
4:30
They came out hot Winning really good games Dan
4:34
Campbell really good play calling, you know took
4:37
some risk that benefited them But you know for
4:40
you to lose that game like that in that fashion
4:43
on Thanksgiving, you know, it hurts a lot What
4:46
did you think about it? Yeah competitive division
4:49
rival and again, there was a call where that
4:54
there was a touchdown for the Packers and I'm
4:57
not completely still sold that he had control
4:58
of the ball when he got his first foot down.
5:00
But they called it a touchdown by Wicks. And
5:04
then later he made another unbelievable catch.
5:08
There was no doubt he caught it. But yeah, Jared
5:12
Goff, the Lions, like I said, Dan Campbell calling
5:14
plays. He's been, it was going good and now it's
5:18
kind of dropping. They call a lot of trick plays.
5:21
Those trick plays aren't working. And when that
5:23
happens, it's over. They can't seem to get out
5:27
of their own way when the trick plays don't work.
5:30
And we saw that in the playoffs last year when
5:31
they got smashed by the commanders. But now we're
5:35
seeing it during the regular season. And they've
5:38
got hurt, but everybody's injured. So injuries
5:39
are not going to be an excuse for anybody. And
5:42
the Packers, again, they've been up and down
5:45
every week. When they're winning, Then you get
5:48
to hear about how great their defense is and
5:50
how their Super Bowl contenders. And then you
5:52
see them lose to the Panthers and the Eagles
5:55
and other teams, Browns. So yeah, I mean, it
5:59
does nothing for me. It was a division game.
6:01
I'm more disappointed in the Lions because it's
6:05
their game, right? They host Thanksgiving home
6:07
field and they fell short. Yeah, they fell short
6:13
and like you said, it's weird. I feel like as
6:17
we go through each of these games, I'm going
6:19
to be as I'm going to be the least amount of
6:25
impressed with the team that wins than I am as
6:29
a team that lost. And, you know, to actually,
6:32
you know, kind of make that point, let's go to
6:35
the very next game. Let's go to Cowboys Chiefs.
6:39
And we saw the flashes that Kansas City had.
6:44
We saw some great plays and some great passes
6:46
that Patrick Mahomes and Travis Kelsey were able
6:49
to make. But Dallas was able to control that
6:54
game in a lot of ways. They were able to score
6:56
when they needed to, and they were able to put
6:59
up the points. I'm still not totally sold on
7:02
the Cowboys. Their win record is what it is,
7:05
and it's great for football. When the Cowboys
7:09
are in the hunt, they're a... you know, a pretty
7:13
much a 500 team with a tie. And you know, there's
7:16
still two and a half games back in the NFC East,
7:19
but you know, even though they were able to go
7:21
out and win a big game in a big stage against,
7:24
you know, Patrick Mahomes, I'm still not totally
7:28
sold on them. Pretty sure you feel the same way.
7:32
Yeah, I'm impressed with them. I mean, when you
7:34
can win three games in a row when they were left
7:36
for dead. And of course that got going by them
7:39
beating the lowly Las Vegas Raiders. And they
7:44
made some moves, good moves, and they're playing
7:45
better. But let's be honest, right? I think the
7:50
last few games for them and even this Chiefs
7:52
game, it says more about the Eagles and the Chiefs
7:56
than the Cowboys. I'm not gonna go on a big rant.
8:01
I'm not gonna sit here and blame the referees
8:02
or the column, but we all know how many flags
8:05
have been called the last three games. Overwhelmingly,
8:08
a lot of flags on the opposing team. Hell, you
8:11
couldn't watch that Chiefs -Cowboy game without
8:13
a flag being thrown. You knew pass interference
8:15
about every other play. The Cowboys' best play
8:18
was just throw the ball up and get a flag. And
8:21
I'm not saying they weren't flags, but some are
8:24
questionable, just like we talked about earlier.
8:27
Questionable calls. There's questionable calls
8:29
in that Philly game, and I'm not saying that's
8:31
costing the game or deciding the game. I'm just
8:33
saying it's kind of interesting that the last
8:37
three games, the opposing team to the Dallas
8:39
Cowboys, are getting in the double digits, mid
8:42
-teens of flags. And I'm not gonna go into detail.
8:48
And there's a lot of reason. No, go ahead, go
8:50
ahead, go ahead. No, I'm just saying there's
8:52
a few plays if you go back and look, right? I
8:55
mean, we can go back to that CD Lamb, stiff armed,
8:59
Cooper Dejean, big play in the eagle game. If
9:02
you watch that Chiefs game, one of the touchdowns
9:06
they scored, Travis Kelsey, he got Mean he got
9:11
twisted turned pulled everything else. He worked
9:14
his ass off to make that catch that ball No flag
9:18
no no flag Even in the Eagles back to the Eagles
9:21
game the no -name tight end that caught the one
9:23
touchdown. He'd literally Blocked the Macuba
9:26
to the to the ground and that's why he was wide
9:29
open and once again no flag And again, that's
9:34
some of my cowboy hate but You know, the Cowboys,
9:37
again, they're a good team. They got to prove
9:38
it, right? They're right there. And they got
9:41
some big games coming up. And we mentioned the
9:43
Lions. They got the Lions next. So, you know,
9:47
again, it's going to be everybody's battle. It's
9:49
playoff time now. I think the whole NFL is really
9:51
like playoff. Every game is a playoff game for
9:54
a lot of teams. And the Cowboys, though, like
9:57
you said, once again, though, do I believe in
9:59
them a little more than I did? But like I just
10:03
said, I think it's more about How the Eagles
10:06
have played this year and how the Chiefs have
10:08
played than the Cowboys I mean kudos to them.
10:10
They play great at home. They won two home games
10:12
in a row Again, they beat they beat Detroit.
10:15
I'm gonna place my bet Well, and that's the other
10:19
thing I I am NOT going that far To bet on the
10:24
Cowboys. I believe you are what your record says
10:27
you are and when you're a 500 team with a tie
10:32
on your record where you couldn't just squeak
10:33
out and get a win versus Green Bay, it tells
10:36
me what I need to know. The one thing I'm gonna
10:40
give them credit for is they have picked the
10:42
right time to start clicking. And maybe it is
10:45
matchup based where they caught Kansas City slipping,
10:48
they caught Philly slipping, and now we see Detroit
10:50
slipping. So maybe they can play them and get
10:52
another win and just kind of keep their win streak
10:54
going. So maybe they're just catching lightning
10:56
in a bottle and they're able to capitalize on
10:58
the moment, but - All in all at the end of the
11:02
day when it comes time to win a big game in a
11:05
big moment I just still don't trust them and
11:08
I've got you know three decades worth of history
11:11
to tell me that I shouldn't and I'm not gonna
11:13
let three weeks or four weeks Overwrite that
11:17
they're gonna have to go out there and prove
11:18
it and show me that that's what they are what
11:20
they're capable of doing A lot of the magic that
11:28
happens is Patrick Mahomes being Patrick Mahomes.
11:31
We were texting in the middle of the game, the
11:33
dude's incredible. I was expecting to come back.
11:36
I was expecting him to make the throws, to get
11:38
them down the field, to get a scoring position.
11:41
And I don't see, I don't see this gentleman making
11:46
the adjustments. Season to season. I feel like
11:51
they're like, Oh, well, this has always worked
11:52
for us. And we're just going to run this same
11:54
play again. Travis Kelsey still long in the tooth.
11:57
No matter what Tony Romo says on the broadcast,
12:00
you know, just, you know, just speaking about
12:03
just how, um, you know, how great Kelsey is and,
12:07
Oh, and look at this, his footwork and you know,
12:09
all of that's great. But at the same time, he's
12:12
an aging tight end, you know, what is he 37 and
12:17
And he's not what he used to be. He's having
12:19
a great year, but he's not the dominant player
12:23
that he used to be. And I think they're just
12:25
trying to hold on to what they've got for just
12:27
a little too long. And I mean, you could see
12:29
this actually is representing itself in their
12:31
win total, but they've had a good run and they're
12:35
still in the running. for a playoff spot, and
12:38
it could be dangerous if they do get a playoff
12:40
spot, but they're not the number one overall
12:43
seed Kansas City Chiefs that we've been used
12:45
to seeing for the last, what, four or five seasons?
12:48
It's not happening. No, they're doing things.
12:52
And again, this is where you credit the teams
12:54
that win and you got to talk about the teams
12:56
that lose. And the Chiefs are like, they're dropping
12:58
passes, dropping interceptions. And when you
13:02
do that and the other team doesn't, You know,
13:04
that's what's the difference of these ballgames.
13:07
So But yeah, like I said, even though they're
13:10
six and six, I'm not I'm not ready to say the
13:12
Chiefs are done I'll say it I'll say it. I mean,
13:18
it's just I'll say it the AFC is too competitive
13:21
You can see there's other teams that are willing
13:24
to go and win I feel like the games a lot of
13:26
the games that they've lost have been winnable
13:28
games Yeah. And if they can't win those games,
13:31
I don't see them advancing in the playoffs where
13:34
everybody realizes a one game sample. There is
13:36
no next week. You got to win now. Yeah. And for
13:38
them not to be able to win that game when they
13:40
were in positions to do it, we could talk about
13:42
the calls. I get it. Yeah. And Dallas did what
13:45
they needed to do to score the points. Oh yeah.
13:46
But we are used to them overcoming those obstacles.
13:50
And Patrick Mahomes putting on a Superman cape
13:52
and eking out a three point win. And he couldn't
13:54
do it. And he hadn't been able to do it. this
13:57
season to the point where they've lost half their
13:59
games. I'm saying it's over. Okay. I'm good with
14:03
it. I'm saying it's over and let's roll to the
14:07
probably the most anger fueled matchup. Not going
14:10
to spend a lot. We're not going to spend a lot
14:11
of time on this Kent. No, I'm not. Hey, my video
14:15
is out there. TikTok, Instagram, Facebook, check
14:17
it out. It's out there. Kent's breakdown of Bears,
14:22
Eagles. Um, we saw it. So it was a, the black
14:25
Friday game, black Friday, a matchup in the middle
14:27
of the afternoon. Um, I, we, we, we exchange
14:33
a lot of information throughout the week. Just,
14:36
you know, just as friends. And you've been telling
14:39
me forever, Hey man, offense, not clicking. Jalen
14:42
hurts, not getting it done. We know the AJ Brown
14:45
complaining, Saquon not running the ball. Well,
14:48
I don't know if there's maybe something that
14:51
we don't know. that maybe there's some injuries
14:53
that they're hiding on the injury report, but
14:56
I've never seen a, I've never seen a team with
15:01
this much talent look as offensively gun -shy
15:06
and afraid to take the chances, scared to turn
15:11
the ball over than I've seen in this year's Philadelphia
15:15
Eagles. To me, that is the main issue. I don't
15:19
think it's execution. I don't think it's as much
15:23
of play calling. I think it's more we want to
15:27
try to play it safe and we're good enough to
15:30
be able to win those games when clearly they
15:33
aren't. I'll go ahead and give the Bears credit.
15:37
They went out and did what they needed to do.
15:40
A lot of eyes. It was a really big game and for.
15:47
For Caleb Williams to keep his composure. and
15:51
to have a complete game to where all he didn't
15:55
have to do was screw it up. He didn't have to
15:57
screw it up and they'd win. Let the run game
16:01
take over and go wild. I got to give them credit
16:03
for managing the game enough to win something
16:06
of this magnitude to the point where now they're
16:09
nine and three. They're the one seed right now.
16:13
I gotta take my hat off to him, man. Like that
16:16
was impressive. And he's gonna have to play better
16:18
if they're gonna advance through the playoffs,
16:21
but he's done what he needs to do and I'm very
16:24
happy for that guy because he's had up and downs,
16:28
man. And I like to see him play well as a player.
16:33
And I'm glad he was actually able to put it together.
16:35
It was just unfortunate that it was against my
16:37
team. But yeah, man, like you said, you already
16:40
did a lot of your breakdowns and stuff, but just
16:43
kind of overall, how'd you feel about it? So
16:46
I'm going to summarize. So there's a lot of blame
16:49
to go around. So anybody that's mad that hurts
16:52
through that interception, he's only got two.
16:55
He was just trying something. Nothing else was
16:58
working. He thought throw it up, see if AJ get
17:00
it. Didn't happen. They they shot themselves
17:04
in the foot because they did get a turnover with
17:07
the interception And then they fumbled on the
17:09
tush push and again as I mentioned in my video
17:11
the tush push is dead So come up with something
17:16
else and I know that's asking for a lot for this
17:18
offense and these coach this coaching staff to
17:20
be creative Offensively because again, they are
17:24
vanilla Yeah, it's pretty simple though If you
17:27
watch if you watch the game late in the game
17:29
and you say, you know, and again go back to my
17:32
video Just give AJ Brown the ball. It's not hard.
17:36
He is a top receiver. It works. Give him the
17:41
ball. Other things I've noticed. Jalen Hurts
17:45
is running less this season. About half. Compared
17:51
to the last probably three, four seasons. I think
17:55
that matters in their offense. They should blitz
17:58
more on defense. That's all I'm gonna say about
18:00
that. It's one game. I'm not dead on the defense
18:03
that they just got the ball run up their gut.
18:06
It is what it is. The Bears wanted it more. It
18:09
was like I said, the only person who showed life
18:12
in that game was AJ Brown. It was clear every
18:16
Bears player wanted it more. Former Eagles, CJ
18:19
Gardner Johnson wanted it more. The Eagles just
18:23
look lifeless the whole game. Disappointed in
18:27
that. And as you mentioned, they need to execute
18:29
on offense. There's enough blame to go around
18:32
for each game that they've played bad, even each
18:34
game that they played and won. Again, you could
18:37
go to the running game, you go to offensive line,
18:39
you go to Jane LaHertz sometimes, Sirianni, Kevin
18:42
Petula, receivers. There's not one thing, like
18:48
you said, it's just something's not right. And
18:51
for the Bears, good for them. They're the one
18:53
seed now by default, we'll talk about why. And
18:57
you know, they want some close games. Give them
18:59
credit. You got to win however you do it. Do
19:03
I still do I believe in them? And do I think,
19:05
oh my God, they're going to win the Super Bowl?
19:07
No, of course you don't. No, it goes like if
19:10
he's I don't trust anybody. Well, and I'll say
19:13
this just to kind of put a bow on this because
19:15
I like the idea of springing this on you. You
19:18
know, I like the spring shit on you, man. Live.
19:21
I've got some news for you. It is involving your
19:25
favorite OC, Kevin Patula. I don't know if you
19:29
heard the news. Have you heard anything recent?
19:32
Have you heard anything recently about he didn't
19:34
get fired? He didn't quit. None of that. I didn't
19:36
hear anything. And this just came out recently.
19:40
And when I say recently, I mean, within the last
19:41
few hours of this recording, apparently his house
19:44
was egged. Nice. I promise you. I promise you.
19:49
I've been in North Carolina this whole time.
19:51
Yeah, so it wasn't you. It wasn't me. It wasn't
19:54
me. There were reports cops were called over
19:58
to his residence of people throwing things at
20:00
his house. The accusations were that they were
20:02
rocks and the police came out and said, nope,
20:04
it was his home was just getting egged furiously.
20:07
So just a little humor. I know you tried to call
20:10
for that man's job at one point, but I just wanted
20:12
to add some humor to it. I'm not going to say
20:14
he didn't deserve to have his, you know, his,
20:17
his house egged. You know, maybe it's just some,
20:19
some playful pranks, but we know people in Philly
20:22
were pretty upset with him. Let's go to the,
20:29
the surprising to me, surprising Jacksonville
20:33
Jaguars. So the Jaguars played the Tennessee
20:35
Titans, which are terrible bad team. We know
20:39
that, um, you know, drafted Cameron Ward. you
20:42
know, he's struggling as a rookie quarterback,
20:45
you know, had some injuries, was banged up, but
20:48
Jacksonville Jaguars, sneaky good, you know,
20:51
sneaky, you know, eight win football team, you
20:55
know, leading their division. And I think we've
20:59
seen them struggle enough, even in their wins
21:02
this year, that they're one of these people,
21:04
one of these teams that we don't trust. I know
21:07
I don't. How do you feel about them and and I'm
21:10
just gonna say specifically? Because he had a
21:13
lot of hype coming in a lot And I think a lot
21:16
of it may have been his look and the way he played
21:18
in college. How do you feel about Trevor Lawrence?
21:22
I don't know how to feel about Trevor Lawrence
21:24
I really don't he's I mean, I think you do there's
21:29
times you see him make amazing plays amazing
21:31
passes And then there's other times you're just
21:34
like this guy's the normal pick But as the Jaguars,
21:39
like I said, they beat the Titans. That's the
21:41
one team I think we all agree on that we don't
21:45
trust them anyways, but we know they suck. There's
21:48
no middle ground for the Tennessee Titans. The
21:51
Jaguars are eight and four at the moment, and
21:55
I would argue they might be 10 and two if they
21:57
didn't have to go play overseas for two games.
22:00
So I stand by that. That's a good point. They
22:05
are the London Jaguars. I get it. I think one
22:10
game was a home game, so they lost at least one
22:13
home game, so maybe nine and three. They are
22:16
what they are. Like you said, they are what their
22:17
record is. Don't really trust them. It's a feel
22:20
-good story. They bounced back from a bad year.
22:23
Good new coach, new system. They added some pieces
22:27
here recently with Jacoby Myers. So again, yeah,
22:31
I mean could they win their division? Sure. Do
22:34
I trust anybody out of that division? No, because
22:37
as we said, we don't trust anybody. So again,
22:39
I think they're just a feel -good story and a
22:42
playoff birth would be, a playoff birth, a winning
22:46
record would be a win for them this season. I
22:50
agree with that. If they make a playoff, a playoff
22:53
birth, I mean especially if they host a playoff
22:55
game, wow. That would be massive for them as
22:58
a franchise. I don't trust Trevor Lawrence. He's
23:02
had some flashes the last couple of years where
23:04
at the end of the year, he's been able to make
23:06
some plays and win some big games for him. I
23:08
think it was one game he threw four touchdowns
23:10
in the second half. And like, you know, it's
23:13
a, so we know he's got the potential, but I have,
23:17
I haven't seen enough. You know, they've got
23:19
Travis Hunter, haven't seen. Enough from that
23:24
team to make me feel confident in them as a as
23:26
a whole as a unit So, you know, I'm just I'm
23:30
not I'm not gonna crap on them Their record is
23:33
is strong and then like you said if they can
23:35
host a playoff game or get into the playoffs
23:36
at all It's a success for them because I don't
23:39
think they had really high expectations Especially
23:42
the way that their season kind of started out
23:43
with the you know, kind of a bumpy rocky start
23:46
So let's roll to another game let's talk about
23:50
the Texans and the colts now again houston texas
23:56
really sneaky seven win team seven and five the
24:01
colts you know uh mr indiana jones himself danny
24:05
dimes eight and four colts were playing great
24:09
football coming out of the gate got a really
24:12
big lead you know within their division and now
24:14
they're just starting to slip showing us who
24:16
we thought they were You know, watch Daniel Jones
24:19
turn back into a pumpkin when he played the Steelers
24:21
getting destroyed. The Texans are able to win
24:24
these low scoring really close games. But from
24:27
that matchup, how did you feel about it? Yeah,
24:32
the Colts and Daniel Jones. Is there somebody
24:35
I definitely don't trust now is Daniel Jones.
24:38
And I don't trust the Colts anymore. They have
24:40
a great running game. But again, you got to have
24:43
quarterback. You got to have solid quarterback
24:45
play. And they are falling so fast that now they're
24:51
not even leading their division. The Texans,
24:54
that defense is real, one of the best in the
24:57
league. And they keep showing it week after week
24:59
now, no matter who the quarterback is, right?
25:03
That defense holds teams down and they find ways
25:06
to win. They were a favorite, definitely my favorite
25:10
coming into the season. I thought they were gonna
25:12
build off their last season's success. They had
25:14
some injuries, had stuff go on, drama. And I
25:19
think now they're putting it together. You mentioned
25:21
the Cowboys putting together right time. I think
25:22
the Texans are putting it together at the right
25:24
time. And again, they're on the way up, culture
25:27
on the way down. And I just want to briefly mention,
25:30
and we can maybe talk about this later with the
25:32
Vikings, but I heard something today that said
25:34
the Vikings next season, the only way to save
25:39
and keep Justin Jefferson would be to sign Daniel
25:42
Jones. or mac jones and i've never hated a take
25:48
so bad in my life i mean the vikings if they're
25:54
in real trouble if they're gonna ask daniel jones
25:56
and mac jones to save their franchise but that's
25:59
another conversation i don't trust daniel jones
26:02
i do not no longer do i trust the colts i once
26:05
believed in them and they have proven me wrong
26:08
so i'm done with them i'm going to I'm going
26:16
to give Daniel Jones another chance. I think
26:20
that I think he was kind of riding high on the
26:23
momentum that they had early in the season as
26:26
a team. Taylor being there running back was kind
26:31
of carrying the brunt for them. He slipped a
26:34
little bit these last couple of games. I think
26:37
their team is really good overall. And I think
26:40
it's up to Daniel Jones. And by the way, it's
26:43
a very interesting thing you said about Jalen
26:46
Hurts not running as much. Daniel Jones doesn't
26:49
run as much as he used to when he was with the
26:51
Giants either. He's not running a lot as well.
26:54
We know he's athletic. We know that dude's got
26:57
wheels. It is weird. It's weird with Shane Steichen
26:59
that he wouldn't be running Daniel Jones more.
27:02
Correct. Because he had Jalen Hurts and he ran
27:05
a lot. And I think it's maybe Maybe it's matchup
27:10
based. Maybe it's, hey, he hasn't been having
27:13
to run for them to win games. So why put him
27:15
in a position where he may get dinged up? So,
27:18
but I'm just saying we know that he's a capable
27:20
running quarterback and I want to see him. I
27:24
want to see him kind of step outside of that.
27:27
And I think it adds an element to that Colts
27:29
offense because when you got a quarterback that
27:31
can run and a running back like Taylor that can
27:34
run. I think it changes the dynamic on the defensive
27:37
side where you make linebackers and DBs freeze,
27:40
and you might be able to pick up another six
27:41
or seven yards, whether it's up the middle or
27:43
on the sideline. So I'm just going to throw that
27:46
out there. That was just something that was peculiar
27:47
that popped out to me, especially when you brought
27:50
that up about Jalen Hurts earlier. So I'm going
27:54
to talk about another game. and I'm going to
27:57
switch things up just a little bit, but I'm just
27:59
going to give you some stats. I'm not going to
28:00
tell you which game or which teams I'm talking
28:02
about. I'm just going to give you the stats really
28:04
quick from this game. There was a game on Sunday.
28:10
The quarterback for one team had 168 passing
28:14
yards. The quarterback for the other team had
28:16
149 passing yards. The running back for the first
28:21
team had 53 rushing yards. The running back for
28:26
the second team had 91 rushing yards. Tied in
28:31
had 67 receiving yards for the first team. For
28:34
the second team, the tight end had 43 receiving
28:37
yards and a touchdown. Okay. Very, very, very
28:41
comparable stats, right? For both teams. And
28:46
by the way, both quarterbacks, both pass for
28:49
one touchdown, no interceptions. However, one
28:53
of them was the San Francisco 49ers. It scored
28:55
26 points And the other was the Cleveland Browns.
28:59
It scored eight points. That was my guess by
29:02
the way I was sitting there thinking I was like
29:04
it's got to be the Browns Niners It was it was
29:07
such a weird game because the offensive production
29:10
wasn't much But the 49ers were able to score
29:15
enough in the second half to just kind of pull
29:18
away from them And I'm not going to sit here
29:21
and talk about Shidora. I am not going to overanalyze
29:24
that dude in his second start as a football player
29:26
playing against a legitimate team. I do want
29:29
to focus on the 49ers now nine and four. Yeah.
29:34
Okay. All right. In the NFC West, they have a
29:39
decent defense and they're starting quarterback
29:43
back. I still don't trust them. deep into a playoff
29:48
run, especially when you'd look at any of the
29:51
other matchups in the NFC. Hell, forget the NFC
29:55
in their own division. If they were playing the
29:58
Rams or if they were playing the Seahawks in
30:00
a playoff game, I don't know who I would take.
30:04
I still, I'd be more likely to bet on the Rams
30:06
or to bet on the Seahawks than to take the 49ers.
30:09
So it's kind of a coin flip. And look, nine wins
30:13
is impressive at this point in the year, four
30:14
losses. I'm pretty sure they'll round out with,
30:17
you know, 11, maybe even 12 wins for the season,
30:21
which is an impressive run, especially with the
30:23
injuries that they've had. But how did you feel
30:25
about it? Again, I don't want to go into the
30:28
Shadoor thing. For him to match the offensive
30:31
production as Brock Purdy did at his second start,
30:35
I'm not going to knock him. But how did you feel
30:39
about it? So the Niners are just well coached.
30:42
They've got a lot of injuries to some key guys
30:45
on defense. No Warner, no Bosa, and they're still
30:49
producing. They still got McCaffrey. Purdy's
30:51
back. He's been okay. He's been average. They
30:55
still got Kittle. So they got enough weapons
30:57
to win games in the regular season. I don't know
30:59
if that can take you far in the playoffs. As
31:03
far as the Browns, Shador, again, I expected
31:07
a little bit. Not as good as game, right, against
31:09
the Niners. Better team, better defense. He didn't
31:12
play bad. Not his fault. The key stat in this
31:16
game that I was looking at was the Cleveland
31:19
Browns had two fumbles lost by receivers One
31:25
by Harold Fanon jr. He had one fumble. We lost
31:28
it and then the other one was gauge Lord Vaden,
31:33
I don't know if that's it. I'm sorry if I meant
31:35
didn't don't know his name because I never heard
31:37
him till yesterday He fumbled three times and
31:40
lost one. So I don't know how you fumble three
31:44
times as a receiver, but he did it. But credit
31:48
to the Niners winning this game, not getting
31:52
destroyed by the Browns defense. They only had
31:55
one sack and it was Myles Garrett. So I think
31:58
that's a credit to the Niners offensive line,
32:00
protecting Purdy. They did what they had to do,
32:03
get it to McCaffrey, right? That's a good strategy.
32:08
And then use the one good receiver that you got.
32:11
or a few good receivers, not really. Like I said,
32:14
they're missing guys. But yeah, I don't trust
32:16
them as far as, like I said, they could win the
32:20
division possibly. They could make the playoffs.
32:24
But like I said, we don't trust anybody. I don't
32:27
feel like they could just make a run to the Super
32:29
Bowl. That would be one impressive run. And the
32:33
Browns, again, like I said, Shador, not a bad
32:36
start. He's gonna start again. That's about it.
32:40
I mean I said he played he played solid good
32:42
as any rookie could play against San Francisco
32:44
That Browns defense just didn't do what it had
32:48
been doing all season. Yeah, it had a letdown
32:50
yesterday Got it. No, and I am I totally agree
32:54
with that Good for them though. They've got they're
32:57
getting the wins as they need You know, it's
33:00
up to them to make it into the playoffs and to
33:02
have a strong showing I just don't have faith
33:06
in them. I don't trust them either the shocking
33:13
Carolina Panthers who beat the Rams and I watched
33:18
a lot of that game. I probably watched 80 % of
33:21
that game and I can't lie, man. I was pretty
33:25
damn impressed. I'm not, I've never been a huge
33:29
fan of Bryce Young and it's not, it's not his
33:32
fault. I mean, that he's undersized. I've talked
33:35
about his lack of arm strength. The defense played
33:38
great in that game. I mean, when you got your
33:40
defense out there getting you six points, it
33:42
does make things easier for you. It kind of relieves
33:45
the pressure. So a lot of that is a credit to
33:49
the defense, not just Bryce Young being able
33:51
to throw for three touchdowns. But the Rams really
33:56
missed an opportunity to kind of pull away in
33:59
their division. We were just talking about the
34:02
San Francisco 49ers. Now this division, it's
34:07
a real competitive battle between the Tampa Bay
34:10
Buccaneers and the Panthers. And the Panthers
34:13
are playing great football. Bryce Young is not
34:18
ruining the game. They're running games great.
34:22
Their defense is okay. And, and I, I want to
34:28
believe in them, but I remembered what they looked
34:31
like at the beginning of the year. And this could
34:34
be Fugazi. I don't, I can't bet any significant
34:38
anything on the Panthers being a competent football
34:42
team that just doesn't happen to get pick sixes
34:45
and strip sacks, you know, for, you know, large,
34:48
you know what I mean? I just, I can't count on
34:50
that every game. So, you know, the Rams had to
34:53
travel all the way from one side of the country
34:55
to the other to play in that game. Maybe their
34:57
best team just didn't show up, but credit to
34:59
the Panthers for getting that win. But I think
35:02
if any Panther fan, Within this zip code that
35:05
I'm in is honest with themselves. They don't
35:08
trust those motherfuckers either No, but the
35:11
Panthers are showing us this year, you know one
35:14
game they can look like they're all you know,
35:16
they're unbeatable and they're They're you know
35:20
on the rise and then the next week they lose
35:22
to the Saints at home or they go to San Francisco
35:25
and can't score and Bryce Young misses throws
35:28
or things like that yesterday Bryce Young dropping
35:31
them in there making the throws The Rams again,
35:35
the weather maybe was a factor again all the
35:38
way East Coast game. The weather was rainy cold.
35:42
I don't know if that mattered. Stafford obviously
35:46
he doubled his interception total for the season
35:48
in one game and then had the fumble that pretty
35:51
much lost the game. So he obviously had a bad
35:54
game. Even on the one touchdown to Devonte Adams,
35:58
he tried to no look and Devonte Adams had to
36:01
catch it. It was low behind him at his feet,
36:03
and he still caught it. So he made that play.
36:06
The defense for the Panthers down JC Horn in
36:09
that game, that worried me. And credit, again,
36:12
them guys stepped up. Guys who never had gotten
36:15
to play a lot come in, get a sack, make a tackle.
36:19
Mike Jackson with the pick six. Derrick Brown,
36:23
big sack, big batted ball that ended up being
36:26
an interception. So this is like, this game to
36:30
me was Kind of what we're talking about. This
36:33
is the NFL in a nutshell this season in this
36:35
game. The Panthers week to week, we don't know.
36:38
They're unpredictable. They truly are. They can
36:41
win in Lambeau, beat the Rams, but then again
36:43
lose to the Saints at home. Correct. Or get blown
36:47
out every other week, right? Early in the season.
36:51
or blow out a team. Yeah, or destroy the Cowboys.
36:56
No, I know what you mean. It's hard to tell,
36:59
man. They are truly week to week. You do not
37:01
know what team you're going to get. And the Rams,
37:06
again, that's just this season, right? You see
37:09
this great team who we think is the Super Bowl
37:11
favorite, and they go in and they lose to the
37:15
Carolina Panthers. So they lose their one seed.
37:19
The Bears have it now. So again, this is truly
37:22
like said this game to me of all the games this
37:25
week was was like this is the NFL in a nutshell
37:27
right here Well, I'll say this and it's a it's
37:32
a terrible equivalency, but I'm gonna go with
37:34
it anyway If you took if you took the Panthers
37:37
and made them less talented at their skill positions
37:42
They are the Philadelphia Eagles You don't know
37:48
what you're gonna get They're actually better
37:50
than the Philadelphia Eagles offensively. We're
37:52
not going to play that game. I said that yesterday.
37:54
I'm not going to give you that. They're drawing
37:55
up some very creative plays to get the first
37:59
down on fourth downs. They don't just say push
38:02
our quarterback. Yeah, I'm not giving you that.
38:06
That's OK. I'm going to pretend that we didn't
38:09
hear that. Let's roll to the next game. Another
38:15
great, great team. record wise that we still
38:19
don't trust. And it's tough. It's tough when
38:23
you go and you beat another team in your conference
38:26
and you blank them 26 to nothing. And, you know,
38:33
you still don't trust them because Sam Darnold
38:36
has shown what he's always been as an up and
38:40
down quarterback. When you're watching the Seahawks,
38:44
Beat the Vikings a hurt Vikings team, you know
38:48
without their their actual starting quarterback
38:50
it It was very unimpressive showing and you know,
38:56
they wanted at home You know, the Vikings were
38:59
just giving the ball away I don't know if you
39:01
saw it like it was the the interceptions that
39:03
were thrown at the fumbles that happened in that
39:06
game were horrific it was Middle school football
39:10
at its finest from the Minnesota Vikings And
39:14
even though the Seahawks look good doing it,
39:16
have a record of nine and three at the at the
39:18
moment, I still don't trust them because I don't
39:21
know what Sam Darnold is going to do when it
39:23
comes to playoff time. And, you know, at nine
39:26
and three at this point in the year is a fantastic
39:29
record. Four and two at home. We know that stadium
39:32
super loud. I mean, what do you got, man? It's
39:36
just it's they're they're underwhelming to me.
39:39
Yeah, I don't trust Sam Darnold. You know that.
39:43
Seattle, they got a pretty good team though.
39:45
Young coach, he's kind of changed everything
39:47
there. But of course he picked up whatever Pete
39:49
Carroll had built. They switched a few things.
39:52
Now they've put all their faith in Sam Darnold.
39:55
And as I keep saying, you're only good as your
39:57
quarterback, I think, in the playoffs. And I
39:59
don't know if, I don't trust Sam Darnold. So
40:04
I don't know if you get into the playoffs later.
40:07
Will he cower down like he did last year? That's
40:11
up for debate and we shall see but again don't
40:14
trust the Seahawks And as far to Vikings, this
40:17
is what they get we we spoke about this like
40:20
early episode, right? I talked about this. They
40:22
had no planet quarterback this season They had
40:26
they weren't good with JJ McCarthy they weren't
40:29
good with Carson Wentz and they really weren't
40:32
good with Max Brosmer for interceptions And of
40:38
course he had as they said the his will levis
40:40
a moment where he just flips the ball to absolutely
40:44
nobody and it's a pick six Underhand side over
40:48
his head hook shot Try to pass to get rid of
40:51
the ball while he's been sacked one of the dumbest
40:54
interceptions you'll ever see And again his first
40:58
start So maybe he gets better who knows? But
41:03
that's the Vikings and as I mentioned earlier
41:06
I don't know who said it, but they said that
41:09
again, Daniel Jones or Mac Jones would save this
41:12
team and Justin Jefferson from wanting to be
41:14
traded. I don't think those are the answers either.
41:19
But they have fumbled the quarterback position
41:22
and they get what they deserve. I don't know
41:25
if it costs the coach the job, but because again,
41:29
he's not the one making these decisions. So they
41:33
get what they get, they're done. Yeah. You know,
41:36
so we definitely don't trust them. And as we
41:38
say, we don't trust the Seahawks either. No.
41:41
And I was just going to say, I'm going to say
41:43
that Brosner is the new Nathan Peterman. I don't
41:46
see him recovering from this. It was such a bad
41:48
showing. He panicked out there as a quarterback.
41:52
He showed that when you bring pressure, he loses
41:56
his mind. I'm just going to throw the ball away
41:59
for a pick six was the dumbest thing I've seen
42:02
in a very long time. And I don't know if he was
42:07
unprepared, but I feel like they should have
42:09
ran some safer sets for him, maybe to protect
42:12
him from himself. But we'll see. I have no sympathy
42:17
for them either. Let's move to the next game.
42:22
Another team, High Hopes. I had this guy as the
42:26
best quarterback in the league, Josh Allen. They
42:30
were able to go into Pittsburgh and beat the
42:32
Steelers. That was mainly to, you know, the credit
42:35
of Aaron Rodgers with, you know, playing hurt.
42:38
I saw that shot that he took live and I thought
42:42
he was done for the night. Like it was, it was
42:44
a, it was a bad shot and it was the worst one.
42:47
And I always hear, um, I'm trying to remember
42:50
who that was that said it. They always say like
42:53
it did from a defensive player perspective is
42:56
the favorite hit where, you know, you, where
42:58
your eyes get wide and you can square a guy up.
43:01
and take a shot at him, and it's a clean legal
43:04
hit, and he never sees it coming. Aaron Rodgers
43:07
had no idea that his knight was about to go that
43:10
way. Busted his face up. Hurt is already, you
43:13
know, fractured arm. Obviously, he's off his
43:15
left arm, his non -passing arm. But the Bills
43:18
were able to get a win. They're now eight and
43:20
four. And I think we all know that that game
43:23
would have been more competitive for Aaron Rodgers
43:25
with healthy. So, you know, it kind of, even
43:28
though the Bills played well and Josh Allen was
43:31
a man out there doing what he needed to do to
43:34
score those touchdowns, I still don't think that
43:37
we fully trust them. Go ahead and tell me that
43:39
you trust the Bills. No, I still don't trust
43:42
the Buffalo Bills because they beat the Pittsburgh
43:44
Steelers. I don't care about that. The Steelers
43:47
are what we, you know, they're 500 now. Aaron
43:51
Rodgers, you know, again, a little banged up.
43:55
I don't know if that mattered. Their second receiver,
44:00
leading receiver is Kenneth Gamewell. They've
44:03
done nothing to get another receiver on that
44:05
football team. You just can't win like that.
44:09
Their defense again, they've showed they can
44:12
play tough one week and the next week, get exposed.
44:16
Definitely don't trust the Steelers. And they
44:20
did come to my mind today when I saw that Adam
44:22
Thielen got waved by the Vikings so he could
44:25
try to get. on a team that he'd get more use
44:29
out of them. And I thought of the Steelers. I'm
44:32
like, yeah, please sign Adam Thielen. Give Aaron
44:35
Rodgers another receiver who knows how to run
44:37
routes and get open. Because Rodgers threw his
44:41
receivers under the bus yesterday talking about
44:43
they don't watch film so they don't know where
44:45
to go. And I just like watching the Steelers
44:49
because Aaron Rodgers looks like an angry old
44:52
man. He yells at somebody every game and it makes
44:54
me laugh. So that keeps me entertained when I
44:58
watch the Steelers. I just watch so Aaron Rodgers
45:01
will yell at somebody for not doing something
45:03
right. But yeah, they should sign Adam Thielen.
45:08
And again, the Bills, a good win for the Buffalo
45:10
Bills by the way. So they bounce back nice. That's
45:13
a tough place to play. I think they broke the
45:15
record for an opposing team's rushing yards in
45:18
that stadium. So good for Buffalo, bad for the
45:23
Steelers. And as we just keep saying, we don't
45:26
trust either one. Yeah. Not the only record that
45:30
was broken. Josh Allen broke Cam Newton's Russian
45:33
record. Yes, he did. So that was another record
45:35
that was broken. And there was no record broken.
45:41
Actually, you know what? There may be a record
45:42
broken when it comes to Aaron Rodgers blaming
45:44
someone else for the fact that the team didn't
45:47
play well. That seems to track. And I'm not shocked
45:52
by that in any form, shape or fashion. That's
45:55
what Aaron Rodgers does. And if I had to argue
45:57
it, I could probably make a strong point that
46:00
that's what he does best, especially at this
46:02
point in his career. And we can move on. And
46:06
by the way, I mean, we're sitting here, we're
46:09
talking about this, right? But back to the Vikings,
46:13
they had a little conversation about Aaron Rodgers
46:15
and they chose not to sign him. There you go,
46:18
and I and I swore like and I think I made that
46:20
statement to you You know as we talked in the
46:23
offseason was I thought like Viking sign Air
46:26
Rogers, man That's a game changer that puts them
46:29
in Super Bowl game changer because again, they
46:31
do have weapons. They do have receivers Yeah,
46:36
well and well and it's like you have to think
46:38
about But I think it would have been great a
46:41
great football move like as a team move But I
46:45
think him going to the Steelers and having a
46:49
strong, cemented head coach like Mike Tomlin
46:53
was probably going to be best for him because
46:56
I could see him having his feet up on anyone's
46:59
desk right now in Minnesota if he was a Viking.
47:02
But so I'm just going to stick with, you know,
47:05
I do remember you saying that. And I think you're
47:08
right. It would have been a good move, but there
47:10
was something that happened where the Vikings
47:11
are like, nah, you know what? We're just going
47:13
to roll our dice with JJ McCarthy. We don't want
47:16
to, you don't want to soil this and actually
47:18
give ourselves a chance with Aaron Rodgers. No,
47:20
like I said, they, they, they made their bed.
47:22
Now they're laying in it. And I know not, uh,
47:25
yeah, Rogers, I think it's a good decision to
47:26
go to Pittsburgh. I just think they need to give
47:29
them another receiver. I, I, I think I'm not
47:36
going to give Aaron Rogers that out. I'm just
47:39
not. It can't all fall on your receivers every
47:43
damn time. He's been doing this since he was
47:45
a Packer. But they have DK Metcalf, that's it,
47:49
and a bunch of big fat tight ends. Well, and
47:52
I'll say this, this is no disrespect to Metcalf,
47:55
but he hasn't been that great of a wide receiver
47:59
for quite some time. And that's fine. He's got
48:01
a great name, and his body is chiseled out of
48:04
granite, and that's about it. Yeah, his productivity
48:08
has taken a dive. He hasn't been a great wide
48:11
receiver. So I know we'd like to kind of think
48:13
of him as at his best. He's not that and neither
48:16
is Aaron Rodgers as a 40 something year old banged
48:19
up quarterback who's not going to get better
48:21
throughout the rest of this year. I got you.
48:27
Let's grow. We're almost closing out here. Chargers,
48:31
Raiders. We know the Raiders think. We can go
48:33
ahead and get rid of that. Um, but you know,
48:35
so the charges were able to beat them, you know,
48:38
at home, you know, uh, you know, Justin Herbert
48:41
had a, had a pretty good game balled out, but
48:45
I think that's always going to be kind of the
48:47
story with Justin Herbert. What can he do? You
48:49
know, they kind of, you know, crown him as the
48:52
next big thing. You know, all the coaches loved
48:54
them. All the GMs loved, Oh, Justin, her, Oh,
48:57
if I could start a franchise today, I'm taking
48:59
Justin Herbert. and you know what happens is
49:01
they play well they kind of lose steam toward
49:04
the end of the season and then they fizzle out
49:06
into playoffs even if they make it so um i think
49:09
you share kind of some of the same sentiments
49:12
do you agree yeah as i always say justin herbert
49:15
is the most overrated player in the nfl and it
49:20
wouldn't matter who played the raiders this week
49:22
i would have said i'm not impressed by your victory
49:26
so on to the next one I don't trust the Chargers
49:31
just like everybody else and especially after
49:34
they beat the Raiders on to the next game on
49:38
to the next one so let's go to the last one I
49:43
got right here so let's go Broncos commanders
49:45
now we know that Bo Nicks up and down here they
49:52
were able to squeak out a one -point win on the
49:55
road against, you know, Marcus Mariota, who I
49:58
like as a quarterback. He is, he's, he's consistent.
50:01
You know what you're going to get out of him.
50:03
He's going to make some mistakes, but I don't
50:06
feel like he loses you football games. And the
50:09
Broncos are now currently sitting with 10 wins
50:12
and two losses, but I don't, their, their running
50:20
game is atrocious. Their defense. Will I feel
50:26
like there's some college teams that could put
50:28
up points on their on their defense and And for
50:31
Bo Knicks to have a good showing I'm sorry say
50:36
that again The Broncos I Feel like there are
50:44
some college teams that can put some points up
50:46
on them. Yes, I do I do I mean for you for you
50:50
to have the commanders Put up 26 points on you
50:53
with Marcus Mariota. No running game. Marcus
50:57
Mariota had the most rushing yards on that team.
51:00
Okay. Like there, there's holes, there's holes
51:03
there for that team. And, and I feel like, and
51:08
we've talked about it. I feel like there hadn't
51:10
been a luckier quarterback all season than Bo
51:13
Nicks, man. He has lucked his way into so many
51:17
wins that I feel like they should, that should
51:19
have been losses. I mean, I know it sounds like
51:25
hate, but I got to go with what I see. I have
51:27
to trust my eyes. And like, you know, watching
51:30
NFL football is one of the rare things that you
51:32
can watch that isn't AI generated. And I know
51:35
what I see from Bo Nix. And he's not a great
51:40
quarterback. And unfortunately, that's what the
51:43
NFL is based around, like a solid veteran quarterback.
51:50
I know what I see from them. I'm not comfortable
51:53
with them. You tell me how you feel. I do think
51:56
he's scrappy. And I just want to break up with
52:01
the Broncos real quick against teams that we
52:04
may say, eh, I don't know about that. Eight point
52:08
win against the Titans. They did win. They did
52:13
beat the Eagles, but I'm not going to count the
52:14
Eagles as a bad team. Not right now. A two point
52:17
win against the Jets. a one -point win against
52:20
the Giants, a three -point win against the Texans,
52:24
which Texans, as we said, are pretty good now.
52:26
They're getting there, right? Three -point win
52:29
against the Raiders, three -point win against
52:31
the Chiefs, and a one -point win against the
52:33
Commanders. Sounds like a quarterback that's
52:36
looking his way into getting wins, right? Yeah,
52:39
like I said, he's made the play, so I'm gonna
52:41
give him credit. Like some of those games, he
52:43
made the drive, he made the plays. Their defense
52:46
is pretty good. Like I said, they lead the league
52:47
in sacks, but I can see where you look at some
52:50
of these games, you're like, but how do they
52:52
give up these points to these teams, right? What'd
52:55
you say? Well, is it 26 to Washington? 32 to
52:58
New York Colts Giants yeah Giants 24 to the Cowboys
53:02
Yeah, like even when they were running away with
53:04
those games. They were still giving up point
53:05
So, you know, so so that's what I mean, like
53:07
so we could talk about their defense has moments
53:09
But that's what I said when I said that about
53:12
a college I feel like a college team could put
53:14
up points on them you can score and get some
53:16
points on them and They are looking their way
53:20
into these wins. Look man Their win streak is
53:23
impressive, dude. Like, it's a lot of wins that
53:26
they've been able to streak together, and wins
53:27
are hard to get in the NFL. But when it comes
53:30
down to, hey, now the only thing that's left
53:33
on your schedule are killers? You're not banking
53:36
on the Broncos, dude. You're not trusting Bo
53:39
Nicks. No, it's going to really depend. Like
53:42
I said, we don't trust them. I don't care what
53:44
their record is, and especially when you look
53:46
at that. And again, the goal is to win football
53:48
games. And they can keep telling me that it's
53:50
the National Football League any week, you never
53:52
know. But they have won close games, they have
53:57
gotten those late field goals, late stops to
54:02
win the game. So credit there, but that doesn't
54:05
make me trust you, not when it comes to the playoffs.
54:08
Not when it comes to playing another another
54:11
team that's probably superior. But again, it
54:14
really would depend on who gets into playoffs
54:15
and what seeds you are. Is it a home game? All
54:18
that's going to really, really matter this year.
54:24
Yeah, let's go to the Cincinnati Bengals and
54:27
the Baltimore Ravens. They closed it out with
54:29
the nightcap on Thanksgiving and this game did
54:34
not go the way that I wanted it to go. It did
54:36
not go the way that I thought it would go. I
54:38
had the Ravens in the Super Bowl. And with Lamar
54:42
Jackson coming, yeah, it's ugly. And with Joe
54:47
Burrow returning, I figured he would have a kind
54:50
of a warm up game. But they showed out, man,
54:53
beating Baltimore 32 to 14. And even though we
54:57
know that offense is electric, and clearly their
55:00
defense played better enough to stifle that Ravens
55:04
high powered offense. Even if they played well
55:07
and won out the rest of the season I don't think
55:09
you'd have a lot of confidence in them as a as
55:12
a team going into the playoffs But to me that
55:14
this was a story about the Ravens like this was
55:16
a chance for them to just kind of cement themselves
55:18
Get them over the hump after having that string
55:21
of losses with Lamar Lamar Jackson being injured
55:24
But yeah, but just what are your thoughts? How
55:27
did you feel about it? I? Was super surprised
55:30
that the Bengals won like that not surprised
55:33
they won division game You know Thursday night
55:37
But you know the way they won how the score in
55:41
Baltimore But again credit to Joe burrow he came
55:44
back looked like he never left and Lamar Jackson,
55:47
you know, it's taking them it's taking some games
55:49
to battle back from the injury and If we're really
55:54
being honest about the Ravens I mean, they've
55:56
not looked right all season put them in that
55:58
category with the Chiefs the Bills the Eagles
56:01
who these are probably like some of the teams
56:03
These are our favorites so they just just something's
56:07
off with these teams and Once again, we don't
56:11
trust any of them The Bengals would have to go
56:13
on one hell of a run to get in the playoffs and
56:16
win that division But I would say the divisions
56:18
up for grabs It's getting less and less each
56:21
week now because the games are getting less,
56:22
but they're all right there I don't trust any
56:26
of them. I don't trust either team one of these
56:28
teams now I don't care if the Ravens would get
56:30
in I still don't trust them They just just something
56:34
is off And my big take here is that whoever wins
56:39
this division, the AFC North, they're gonna backpedal
56:43
their way into the playoffs. And then I also
56:46
expect multiple 500 record teams to win a division.
56:53
I think it's like the NFC South, the AFC South
56:57
possibly, and the AFC North. probably least on
57:02
the AFC South. I think they'll be fine. But yeah,
57:06
that NFC South and AFC North, both of those divisions,
57:11
I think a 500 team or one game above will win.
57:15
We'll make a playoff appearance. Yeah. I mean,
57:16
it's - We'll win the division. It's going to
57:20
be like - It's tough. It's that close, man. Yeah,
57:22
it's really that close. Yeah. Yeah. And it's
57:25
unfortunate because like you said, all those
57:27
teams had the potential. to really pull away.
57:30
They've had the opportunities to just make a
57:32
name for themselves and pull away from everyone.
57:34
And they just have it. All of them have fallen
57:36
flat in games that they feel like we all feel
57:39
like they should have won. But you know, that's
57:42
just the way this entire season's going. It is,
57:44
it's been a consistent theme every week when
57:47
we sit here and talk about these teams. It's
57:49
like, what the hell is happening? And I'm just
57:52
glad that I'm not a gambler. I'm not one of those
57:54
guys. So I'm watching the games. It makes my
57:57
head hurt sometimes, but at least I'm not losing
57:59
any money or any sleep. All right. So yeah. So
58:06
lastly, we'll just cut this off talking about
58:08
the Patriots. They're on a hell of a winning
58:11
streak themselves. Um, uh, they're at the recording
58:14
of this podcast are going to play the giants.
58:17
Um, my expectation is that they'll win that game
58:19
too. And You know, looking at their wins, looking
58:23
at their quarterback play, looking at their running
58:26
game, looking at their defense, looking at their
58:29
schedule, looking at the division that they're
58:31
in, their record should be impressive as a team
58:35
with 10 wins and two losses. And I still don't
58:39
trust them. And it's sad because some of this
58:42
is kind of some of the leftover lingering Belichick
58:46
Tom Brady hate. And I am mad enough to admit
58:49
that. But at the same time, like I said, there's
58:52
always a discomfort that comes with professional
58:54
football to where we kind of have to see you
58:57
do it before we trust you. And I haven't seen
59:00
this regime do it. I do think they're a well
59:03
-run organization with great coaching and clearly
59:05
they've got great players and they know how to
59:07
put wins together. But they're not a good enough
59:12
team in my eyes for my money. and I know it sounds
59:16
ridiculous. You know, with the team that's got
59:19
two losses early in the year, it sounds as if,
59:21
yeah, two losses early in the year and they've
59:24
been clicking ever since. I still have to see
59:28
it in order for me to believe it. It's unfair,
59:32
but you know, sue me. Kent, I'm curious if you
59:36
feel the same way. Yeah, I do. They're very comparable
59:44
to the Broncos That they're both up there and
59:48
ranking up there in their record Their games
59:53
you don't take them It's because of who they
59:55
beat and how they beat them that you you don't
59:58
want to just go full in on them But I could see
1:00:01
I could see the Patriots going on run I'm not
1:00:05
saying they are I'm just saying, you know some
1:00:07
years you have that team that comes out of nowhere
1:00:09
that improves Just drastically from the season
1:00:14
before and the set the reason I say that about
1:00:16
the Patriots is that they had the cap space They
1:00:19
added the pieces. They added the coach Again,
1:00:22
we talked about coaching matters Not that I trust
1:00:26
them but I could see them doing more damage than
1:00:31
as we say like the Denver Broncos and You mentioned
1:00:34
they play the Giants tonight and we know the
1:00:36
Giants seasons done but I can't remember if I
1:00:40
sent y 'all this but I saw a meme and it was
1:00:43
a great idea. If you watched the Lions Giants
1:00:46
a few weeks ago, Jameis Winston catching a touchdown
1:00:48
pass. So the idea was that Jameis Winston, the
1:00:53
NFL should make him the backup quarterback for
1:00:55
every team. That way we get to see his greatness
1:01:00
all the time. You never know where you're gonna
1:01:04
get to get Jameis Winston and he is just... It's
1:01:09
just magic to watch him on the field. He's entertaining.
1:01:13
He's just got that personality. Great locker
1:01:16
room guy. His teammates love him. Yeah, again,
1:01:19
he's not a bad player. Again, he really isn't.
1:01:23
But watching him catch a pass and then fight
1:01:25
off the defender to get the touchdown, that was
1:01:28
amazing. He still gives you the bad passes, but
1:01:32
that's what you get with him. you know you take
1:01:34
the good and the bad but yeah make james winston
1:01:36
the backup quarterback for every team i'm i'll
1:01:39
sign off on that that would be awesome no good
1:01:42
deal um yeah and i and the one thing i'll say
1:01:45
i am going to i'll take a step back from my uh
1:01:51
patriot's hate you know that's you know been
1:01:54
been formed over the last few decades and the
1:01:57
one thing i will say about them is out of every
1:01:59
single team in the league They are without a
1:02:03
doubt the most consistent team this season You
1:02:07
know what you're going to get from them now.
1:02:10
I still don't trust them but Like you said if
1:02:14
they were to advance it wouldn't shock me It
1:02:18
would it just it wouldn't it's just hard for
1:02:20
me to see it. So go out show me Win the games,
1:02:25
you know win them in impressive fashion and fashion
1:02:27
control the clock move the ball Sure, I'll take
1:02:32
it. But they've been more consistent than any
1:02:35
other team, teams with veterans, veteran teams,
1:02:38
veteran coaches, you know, veteran front offices.
1:02:42
So I'm going to give them their flowers there.
1:02:44
But unfortunately, you know, I put them in the
1:02:46
same bucket. I still don't trust them. Yep. And
1:02:50
again, I know we've done these episodes each
1:02:52
week and it may seem the same, but it's really
1:02:55
not like we like, we like to break down each
1:02:58
week. these teams and where they stand and we
1:03:00
kind of been making picks and I think we're on
1:03:03
the same like I said we're on the same page now
1:03:05
week 13 and we don't trust anybody DTA don't
1:03:10
trust anybody I'm not ready to make a pick on
1:03:14
anybody now yeah I agree and I can't and I can't
1:03:17
even say even when playoff seedings are solidified
1:03:21
again it'll be one of the riskiest times ever
1:03:24
that I can think of people when it's like, well,
1:03:25
you actually have to make picks and there are
1:03:28
stakes involved. It's going to be tough. It's
1:03:30
going to be tough for everybody. Let's talk some
1:03:37
college football. And the story is, you know,
1:03:43
it's all Lane Kiffin. Now, there's a lot of there's
1:03:46
a lot of things. And this is what I love about
1:03:48
the story is that it's kind of been building
1:03:50
for the last couple of weeks. you know, um, Ole
1:03:53
Miss head coach and you know, they're having
1:03:55
a really good season. He's, he's outperformed
1:03:58
what he's done. And, but Lane Kiffin is one of
1:04:00
the rare college football coaching personalities.
1:04:04
That's actually a personality, which, uh, which
1:04:08
to me is incredibly refreshing. I like that.
1:04:11
But, um, he's ruffled a lot of feathers. He's
1:04:14
getting a lot of hell for his departure from
1:04:17
Ole Miss, how he's leaving them to go be there,
1:04:20
to accept the position as the head coach at LSU.
1:04:24
And you had some takes on it. I've got some stuff
1:04:26
that we haven't really had a chance to discuss,
1:04:29
but I'm going to let you go ahead and just lead
1:04:31
into Lane Kiffin and I'll try to close it out.
1:04:35
Yeah. So, so this is, you know, and if you've
1:04:37
watched any TV, you see the same kind of the
1:04:39
same thoughts on some of it. Some of it's on
1:04:42
college football. And as we know in the NCAA,
1:04:45
they they know how to screw some stuff up. They
1:04:46
do it in basketball. They do it in football.
1:04:48
They have these weird rules, these weird timelines.
1:04:52
So they've, you know, I think recruiting they
1:04:55
could start like two days. So that put a little
1:04:58
pressure on Lane Kiffin to make this decision.
1:05:02
But again, his history makes him look like he
1:05:06
looks right. He went to he was at Tennessee for
1:05:10
one season. And then he left, right? Went to
1:05:15
USC. Thought that was the better job, right?
1:05:18
He had worked there before. Didn't work out so
1:05:21
great at USC. So then he ended up as a coordinator,
1:05:25
offensive coordinator at Alabama. Then he got
1:05:28
the Florida Atlantic job. Then he had proven
1:05:31
himself. So he got the Ole Miss job, turned that
1:05:35
program around. And like you said, they are in
1:05:39
the playoff this year. And with it being 12 teams,
1:05:43
they could win the national championship. And
1:05:45
that's what makes this story so interesting,
1:05:49
is that it was a tough decision for him, I'm
1:05:52
sure. Sure, right? I mean, he's having to say,
1:05:55
he was trying to be able to go to LSU, but also
1:05:59
want to coach Ole Miss. And Ole Miss is just
1:06:02
like, no, you're not gonna go to our arrival,
1:06:05
and we're gonna let you stay on and coach our
1:06:06
team in the playoff. So I understand that. And
1:06:10
I understand he was trying to do whatever, and
1:06:12
he's trying to blame who he blames. Look, he
1:06:16
made a decision, right? They say LSU's one of
1:06:18
the top coaching jobs in the country. So he got
1:06:21
it. He made his decision. Call it what you want.
1:06:27
I would call it like, yeah, but like you literally
1:06:30
have a shot to win with Ole Miss. You only got
1:06:33
one loss. So yeah, it's just a tough one. Because
1:06:40
also you look at it on the LSU side and you can
1:06:44
say, what is it about Lane Kiffin? You just fired
1:06:48
Brian Kelly, who had actually coached in a national
1:06:51
championship with Notre Dame. You fired him because
1:06:55
he wasn't getting it done. The last time again,
1:06:58
Lane Kiffin had a top job was at USC. Now that's
1:07:03
been over 10 years ago, but it didn't work out.
1:07:07
So maybe he has grown as a coach. Maybe you think
1:07:10
he is the answer after being at Alabama under
1:07:12
Saban, doing what he's doing at Ole Miss. Maybe
1:07:15
he's going to do the same at LSU. It is a top
1:07:19
job. They do, you know, a lot of coaches win
1:07:22
there, no matter who coaches there, right, except
1:07:24
Brian Kelly. But, you know, they win national
1:07:27
championships, so maybe it will work out. I think
1:07:29
he's in a tough spot. I think it's just a bad
1:07:32
look. I think the playoff now with 12 teams the
1:07:35
timeline of NCAA It's just a little bit of a
1:07:40
bad look that you know you have to leave a team
1:07:42
that you've worked so hard to build at Ole Miss
1:07:46
and now you're in the playoff and you anybody's
1:07:49
got a shot in the playoff and And you have to
1:07:53
leave them high and dry to go get your better
1:07:55
job so That's all I got. I mean like I said,
1:08:01
it's a it's a dirty business that college college
1:08:03
sports these days It is a dirty business and
1:08:06
that's why when we did our episode Weeks ago
1:08:09
about NIL. I always made it clear that this is
1:08:12
why I never cared when anybody talked about coaches
1:08:14
because this is the type of shit that they do
1:08:17
and Lane kiffin is an outlier in a lot of ways
1:08:20
I feel like some other coaches there have been
1:08:22
some coaches who've done things similar and there's
1:08:25
also been some there's been coaches who've done
1:08:28
things similar and then there's coaches that
1:08:31
do things in a more classy you know fashion where
1:08:34
maybe they try to keep the rumblings and the
1:08:36
whispers down but keep in mind that the reason
1:08:39
why this thing got as messy as it did was because
1:08:42
he had multiple options this wasn't just the
1:08:45
lsu job it was also the florida job and he was
1:08:49
pretty much pitting the two against each other
1:08:50
i'm not going to say he necessarily made it a
1:08:53
bidding war but those are two premier top tier
1:08:57
college football coaching jobs. OK. And he, for
1:09:02
the most part, had his pick if he wanted to go
1:09:04
to Florida. If he really wanted to go to Florida,
1:09:06
he could have went to Florida and we could be
1:09:08
having this conversation about Florida as opposed
1:09:10
to LSU. But I'm going to flip this because I
1:09:13
want to have fun with this. And I'm just curious
1:09:16
if you heard of a reporter by the name of Ben
1:09:18
Garrett, does that name sound familiar to you
1:09:20
at all? No. Of course not. Ben Garrett is a reporter
1:09:26
who covers Ole Miss football. And this is our
1:09:30
medium. It's our wheelhouse. We're podcasters.
1:09:33
And Ben Garrett said in a podcast, quote, in
1:09:37
regards to Lane Kiffin, you can't turn a ho into
1:09:40
a housewife. Hoes don't act right. Okay? That's
1:09:46
what he said on a podcast. Now, of course, after
1:09:48
the game, Lane Kiffin approaches this gentleman
1:09:52
and gets in his face, literally, face to face,
1:09:58
and says, oh, you're going to call me a hoe?
1:10:00
Well, why don't you meet me in the back and call
1:10:01
me a hoe? OK? Now, I have, I've always had kind
1:10:08
of a, there's a stigma surrounding college football
1:10:10
coaches where they have to give off the persona
1:10:14
of tough guys. He's, you know, he's towering
1:10:17
over this, you know, this reporter who said a
1:10:19
thing and look, you, you talk shit like that
1:10:22
on the podcast. Somebody runs up to you in public.
1:10:24
You got to back it up or you stand down like
1:10:26
this reporter did, but Lynn Kiffin walked up
1:10:29
on them surrounded by state troopers. It says
1:10:33
this to this, it said this to this guy who, you
1:10:35
know, who's trying to make him make a name for
1:10:37
himself on the podcast. It came off as a little,
1:10:40
you know, and it's like, ah, you know, what he
1:10:43
said. Oh, he called me a hoe. And I mean, but
1:10:45
come on, it's an expression. I know Lane Kiffins
1:10:48
heard that expression before. And if we're going
1:10:51
to be real, if you want to talk about any college
1:10:55
football head coach ever that presents himself
1:10:59
as a hoe. You kind of gotta say it's laying kippen
1:11:03
because you just get rattled off plenty of examples
1:11:06
how the second somebody starts fanning some extra
1:11:08
money in his face He just ups and leaves forget
1:11:12
the recruiting forget the ad forget the fan base
1:11:15
forget that University He leaves it burning down
1:11:20
to go on to the next thing and So so that's kind
1:11:25
of where where where this kinda stood out to
1:11:28
me i have no idea what's going to happen to him
1:11:30
in lsu i have no idea we're talking about of
1:11:34
of of we're talking about a college program program
1:11:38
who had probably the most i'd be if nick saban
1:11:43
was the epitome of alabama football ed orgeron
1:11:48
was the epitome of lsu football if that makes
1:11:50
any sense and i don't see lane kiffin being that
1:11:58
And his arrogance as a head football coach is
1:12:05
going to run out really, really fast in LSU.
1:12:10
He's going to have to come in and win in dominant
1:12:14
fashion and win a lot of games and make playoffs
1:12:17
runs. I think he's got two years and they're
1:12:22
going to chase him out of there with torches
1:12:24
and pitchforks, dude. This all of this stuff
1:12:28
is cute when you're winning games and when you're
1:12:30
the guy and he's gonna go in and he's gonna get
1:12:33
some guys but they better produce for him like
1:12:35
it's gonna be super ugly for Lane Kiffin and
1:12:39
And I think this situation because you know we
1:12:42
talked about you know Tennessee we talked about
1:12:46
USC we talked about the Raiders we talked about
1:12:48
just kind of how he leaves it You know Ole Miss
1:12:50
obviously we talked about how he's gonna leave
1:12:51
these situations always in a worse situation
1:12:54
than when he arrived, they're not going to stand
1:12:58
for that in LSU. And this may be, if he goofs
1:13:01
this up, it's going to be hard for that dude
1:13:03
to get a job anywhere because you've got, you
1:13:05
left this trail of blood with all these other
1:13:09
football institutions that are reputable places.
1:13:12
Tennessee, USC, Ole Miss, the Raiders. like these
1:13:19
are really serious football places if you just
1:13:22
gave up all of them double middle fingers the
1:13:24
second a better opportunity came about or when
1:13:27
things take so bad if you can't recover from
1:13:29
it things could go really really bad it ls you
1:13:34
for a man i i hope he does well for his own sake
1:13:38
and i really hate to put it like this because
1:13:40
i don't want to make it seem like i'm threatening
1:13:41
this dude is safety He's putting himself in danger
1:13:46
if he doesn't go in there and give the LSU football
1:13:49
standard the seriousness that it requires. There's
1:13:53
nothing else going on in that state. It's all
1:13:57
about LSU football. And I hope he understood
1:14:00
that when he signed that contract and agreed
1:14:02
to take all that money. It's definitely risky.
1:14:07
Like I said, Brian Kelly, you know, he left in
1:14:10
the middle of the night. from Notre Dame and
1:14:13
then he couldn't get it done and they ran him
1:14:15
out of town. So again - Got his ass up out of
1:14:18
there. Truthfully, like I said, it's really weird.
1:14:21
I get it. You want to take, you think certain
1:14:23
jobs are the top jobs, but he'd really done a
1:14:26
really good job in Ole Miss. And truthfully,
1:14:30
they are having better seasons in the past. Well,
1:14:33
since he was at Ole Miss, they were having better
1:14:36
seasons than LSU and Florida. So it's kind of
1:14:40
weird. But hopefully, like I said, maybe he will,
1:14:43
maybe he won't. I don't know what the next step
1:14:45
is. I don't know why another college, I mean,
1:14:49
I know why they would hire him because they want
1:14:50
to win. But again, they would have to know the
1:14:53
risk. Again, if it doesn't work out in LSU, you
1:14:56
always got to know that Lane Kiffin is always
1:14:58
looking for that next one. The bigger job, the
1:15:02
bigger payday, he's shown that. But again, like
1:15:06
I said, to his defense, this was a tough one.
1:15:08
because of the timeline that the NCAA puts out
1:15:11
there. It's nothing new for coaches to leave.
1:15:15
Again, and if he wins, we forget about it, right?
1:15:18
We forget that Nick Saban lied to us when he
1:15:20
was the Dolphins coach and said he wasn't going
1:15:22
to Alabama. And then he went to Alabama and became
1:15:25
the greatest college football coach ever. So,
1:15:28
you know, maybe Elaine Kiffin will do that. Who
1:15:30
knows? But yeah, he is definitely something special.
1:15:36
And he's got that stigma. that he's kind of created
1:15:40
himself and he's got no one to blame but himself.
1:15:43
So we shall see. So watch this and I'll agree
1:15:47
with you in terms of if Lane Kiffin goes and
1:15:52
he wins and that team is successful. And when
1:15:55
I say that team I mean LSU. But I'm just going
1:15:57
to point this out. Ole Miss has an opportunity
1:16:01
to make the college football playoff. And I just
1:16:04
want you to imagine and envision that that team.
1:16:07
goes on to win a national championship without
1:16:10
their head coach. That'd be the greatest story
1:16:12
ever. I don't think he'll be able to outlive
1:16:15
that, especially to say that they went and did
1:16:18
it without him. That's massive. So yeah, maybe
1:16:22
he can cover up some of that stink and put some
1:16:24
perfume on the turd if he wins at LSU, but he's
1:16:27
not going to be able to do that at least for
1:16:29
another year. Let Ole Miss go. And here's the
1:16:32
thing, even if Ole Miss makes a championship
1:16:34
game, That's still gonna say a lot about him.
1:16:39
And people are gonna hold that over his head
1:16:40
and say, dude, you had an opportunity to coach
1:16:42
that team to a championship and you bailed on
1:16:45
them. Because we can sit here and say, I understand
1:16:49
you say, hey, the timeline for decisions to be
1:16:51
made, he could have told everyone, you know what,
1:16:53
guys, no, I'm gonna stay here and I'm gonna coach
1:16:55
this team to the end of the season and I'll deal
1:16:57
with this the way that I wanna deal with it.
1:16:59
And whatever comes of it comes of it. But I want
1:17:02
to stay here with him. He could have said that.
1:17:03
He has that kind of power. And he chose to leave
1:17:06
because he had two great options in Florida and
1:17:09
LSU. And he chose LSU. So I'm not going to give
1:17:12
Lane Kiffin an out. That dude ain't no victim.
1:17:16
I honestly, he might have had some leverage because
1:17:20
who else was LSU going to go get? Urban Meyer?
1:17:24
That's my point. He's the hot chick at the bar.
1:17:30
You can leave with any dude you want, hot chick.
1:17:32
Make your pick and just tell them, listen, but
1:17:35
you know what I think the problem is? He would
1:17:38
have had to make a decision. and then trusted
1:17:41
that they wouldn't go out and get someone else
1:17:43
in the interim. So he would have had to say,
1:17:45
hey, LSU, let's do it. I'm in, but you gotta
1:17:49
let me go ahead and coach this out. And maybe
1:17:52
the fear is that if he was to go on and win a
1:17:55
national championship with Ole Miss, how do you
1:17:58
leave after that? Yeah, and like I said, the
1:18:01
recruiting starts in a couple days. So that's
1:18:04
the kicker. But it's a business. We forget that.
1:18:08
Everyone forgets it's a business. It is not...
1:18:11
They are not a... What is it? What do you mean?
1:18:15
Student -athletes? What are you talking about?
1:18:16
Student -athletes? Yeah, they're not student
1:18:18
-athletes. This is a business. A million dollar
1:18:22
business. Because as LSU is paying Brian Kelly...
1:18:26
What is it? Fifty -some million dollar buyout?
1:18:29
Fifty -four million dollars, sir. They're gonna
1:18:31
also pay Lane Kiffin a hundred million. Well,
1:18:35
I mean, it's just it's I mean, by the way, I
1:18:37
am shocked by that. I thought that college football
1:18:40
was all about higher education. I had no idea
1:18:43
that it was about money. My mind is blown right
1:18:46
now. I thought I thought Lane Kiffin's main focus
1:18:48
was making sure that these young men get degrees
1:18:50
and become productive human beings. I didn't
1:18:52
know that it was about football and making money.
1:18:55
Hey, you remember you said the top three professional
1:18:58
sports is the NFL, the NBA and college football.
1:19:02
And by the way, not even in that order. It's
1:19:07
the NFL. It's the NFL and college football. Yeah.
1:19:11
It's big, big money. You're right. You want to
1:19:14
go and close this out? Yep. That's another episode
