- 1:50Speaker 1: we'll take you right to what why waste time? Our
- 1:53Speaker 1: lead this hour. We'll start out in the main.
- 1:56Speaker 3: Event, not the undercard, the main event at Arrowhe Stadium.
- 2:01Speaker 1: That was the scene AFC title game, the hollowed grounds
- 2:05Speaker 1: of Arrowheads Stadium where we had just adjacent to that
- 2:09Speaker 1: a malor meet and greet a few months back at
- 2:12Speaker 1: the Landing in Liberty, Missouri, which is not far away
- 2:16Speaker 1: from the stadium, and the much hype matchup between Josh
- 2:19Speaker 1: Allen and Patrick Mahomes.
- 2:22Speaker 3: This was it.
- 2:25Speaker 1: Josh Allen was gonna get it done, that's what you heard.
- 2:28Speaker 1: Bill's better than the Chiefs. Well, but Bill's mafia trying
- 2:32Speaker 1: to overtake the Midwest in this matchup and the winner
- 2:36Speaker 1: getting a trip to New Orleans for the big game
- 2:39Speaker 1: and a date with Philadelphia.
- 2:41Speaker 3: And I don't have you watched it or not? I
- 2:42Speaker 3: assume you did.
- 2:43Speaker 1: You're listening to a sports talk radio show, but perhaps
- 2:46Speaker 1: not so. Patrick Mahomes through for two hundred and forty
- 2:50Speaker 1: five yards and a touchdown. He also ran and rumbled
- 2:53Speaker 1: and bumbled his way for not one but two two
- 2:58Speaker 1: rushing touchdowns. His legs and the defense making plays when
- 3:04Speaker 1: the game was on the line, getting a turnover on
- 3:08Speaker 1: downs from Buffalo, and the Chiefs beat the Bills thirty
- 3:13Speaker 1: two to twenty nine in a Sunday night matchup, and
- 3:16Speaker 1: they reached the Super Bowl for the third consecutive seasons.
- 3:20Speaker 1: Now Kansas City will attempt to do somebody that has
- 3:23Speaker 1: never happened before in the history of American football, win
- 3:27Speaker 1: three consecutive Super Bowls. We've seen a team lose three
- 3:34Speaker 1: consecutive Super Bowls and then some shout out to the
- 3:37Speaker 1: Buffalo Bills. But now Kansas City will play Philadelphia in
- 3:42Speaker 1: a game that we saw these two teams a couple
- 3:45Speaker 1: of years back, and here they are again, super.
- 3:48Speaker 3: Bowl fifty nine. Plenty of time, plenty of time to
- 3:52Speaker 3: dive into that that game will not be played for
- 3:55Speaker 3: a couple of weeks. So the better story here for
- 3:59Speaker 3: the purposes of talk radio. The losing locker room.
- 4:03Speaker 1: And we spent a lot of time talking about Josh
- 4:05Speaker 1: Allen because in big games he normally ends up in
- 4:09Speaker 1: the losing locker room. That's typically how this goes. So
- 4:13Speaker 1: let's get to the audio table. Start out with coach
- 4:16Speaker 1: McDermott of the Buffalo Bills. He knows a thing or
- 4:19Speaker 1: two about losing in games like this, and he points
- 4:23Speaker 1: out that in the game a bit of a toss up.
- 4:27Speaker 3: Take a listen, get.
- 4:28Speaker 4: Over all the guy's battle and just came up a
- 4:30Speaker 4: little bit short tonight. It looks like you could have
- 4:32Speaker 4: gone either way. We had some plays. I thought some
- 4:35Speaker 4: plays were you had a chance to convert a fourth
- 4:38Speaker 4: down there, fourth and short, and then another fourth down
- 4:41Speaker 4: late in the game there, and look like we had
- 4:43Speaker 4: a chance to catch It didn't work out that.
- 4:46Speaker 3: Way, all right. So it was a toss up game.
- 4:48Speaker 1: In every game between teams that are halfway decent, a
- 4:51Speaker 1: toss up game. But wait, there's more now, the controversial
- 4:55Speaker 1: play which the deep state conspiracy theorists are holding on too.
- 5:01Speaker 3: I told you so, I told you so. The lunatics
- 5:04Speaker 3: there was.
- 5:05Speaker 1: A fourth down the Buffalo Bills trying to ruin football
- 5:08Speaker 1: like the Philadelphia Eagles doing the tushy pushy. They loved
- 5:11Speaker 1: the toush a in Buffalo, so they were doing the
- 5:14Speaker 1: old touch push Josh Allen trying to get the first down.
- 5:17Speaker 3: It was close. Here's McDermott on that.
- 5:19Speaker 4: The look we had in the in the in the stadium,
- 5:22Speaker 4: which you don't know if they're if it's the same
- 5:24Speaker 4: feed that the TV had or not. I thought he
- 5:27Speaker 4: had it. The line was the just just short of
- 5:30Speaker 4: the line was actually the first down. But it looked
- 5:32Speaker 4: like to me when when it was sitting next to
- 5:34Speaker 4: me with the marker just inside that that white stripe
- 5:37Speaker 4: was the first down, and it looked like he could
- 5:40Speaker 4: he got to it. I mean, that's a possession. We're
- 5:42Speaker 4: up one point, I believe at the time, a chance
- 5:44Speaker 4: to go up maybe multiple scores at that point.
- 5:47Speaker 3: It's a big call.
- 5:48Speaker 4: That's absolutely a big call.
- 5:50Speaker 1: Yeah, well the officials got it right. He didn't get
- 5:51Speaker 1: the first down, and so screw you. Here's Josh Allen,
- 5:55Speaker 1: who knows like the worst big game quarterback in terms
- 5:58Speaker 1: of record, In fact, he is. No one's ever lost
- 6:01Speaker 1: this many games in a row against one opposing player, John,
- 6:06Speaker 1: I mean, Josh Allen, my god, why do you win
- 6:09Speaker 1: one of these?
- 6:09Speaker 3: Anyway?
- 6:10Speaker 1: Here's Josh Allen pointing out in a rather sullen mood
- 6:14Speaker 1: that this is not unusual.
- 6:16Speaker 5: They've ended a lot of team seasons too. That's a
- 6:20Speaker 5: good squad. They had a good play tonight and again
- 6:22Speaker 5: they made more play than we did.
- 6:24Speaker 1: Okay, thank you, Captain Cliche. Now Alan, at some point
- 6:27Speaker 1: in the news conference the money quote, which we don't have.
- 6:29Speaker 1: He said, you can either get it done or.
- 6:32Speaker 3: You can't, and we didn't.
- 6:34Speaker 1: That was the money quote from Josh Allen. So let
- 6:37Speaker 1: us discuss the question. A lot of people saying, oh,
- 6:41Speaker 1: it's sad, they're bummed out for Josh Allen. Do you
- 6:45Speaker 1: feel bad for Josh Allen's Bills falling yet again against
- 6:52Speaker 1: their nemesis, the Chiefs. So I've got written consent, Buddhism,
- 6:59Speaker 1: and rain drops, and we will combine all of these
- 7:03Speaker 1: things together and we are going to make Baba Ganoosh.
- 7:07Speaker 1: We're gonna make the Baba ganoosh because hey, the Bills
- 7:10Speaker 1: can go out and get all the eggplant they want
- 7:12Speaker 1: and enjoy all the Baba go noosh they want because
- 7:15Speaker 1: they ain't playing any time until next year, next football season.
- 7:20Speaker 3: All right.
- 7:20Speaker 1: So to answer the question, do you feel bad for
- 7:23Speaker 1: Josh Allen and the Bills losing it again? So no way,
- 7:29Speaker 1: Jose Okay, cue the world's smallest violin.
- 7:33Speaker 3: It's and maybe I'm wrong on this. I don't know.
- 7:35Speaker 1: It's professional football is not Pop Warner. It's a make
- 7:39Speaker 1: or miss situation. You either make the plays or you
- 7:42Speaker 1: don't make the plays.
- 7:43Speaker 3: You miss them.
- 7:44Speaker 1: And saw Wing Badah saw wing baa with and a way.
- 7:50Speaker 1: Josh Allen was good, but Josh Allen was not good enough.
- 7:56Speaker 3: Where have we heard this before?
- 7:59Speaker 1: Did he get the express written consent of the NFL?
- 8:03Speaker 1: Because that was a rebroadcast of years gone by. Josh
- 8:08Speaker 1: Allen had two touchdowns. Patrick Mahomes had three. The Bills
- 8:12Speaker 1: put the ball in Josh Allen's hands. They gave their
- 8:16Speaker 1: franchise quarterback to football with three point thirty three to
- 8:20Speaker 1: go in the game, half the Sign of the Devil.
- 8:23Speaker 1: They gave Josh Allen the ball and they said, you
- 8:27Speaker 1: matriculate down the field and you eat all the clock.
- 8:31Speaker 3: And you get a touchdown. You win the game.
- 8:33Speaker 1: You go to New Orleans to play Philadelphia in the
- 8:36Speaker 1: Super Bowl. You are for everything a quarterback, you are
- 8:39Speaker 1: forever quarterback. You're Josh F.
- 8:41Speaker 3: And Allen.
- 8:41Speaker 1: You're gonna win the MVP Award in the NFL. Here's
- 8:44Speaker 1: the damn ball, go down and score touchdown, and lo
- 8:48Speaker 1: and behold, here was his chance to have his Tom
- 8:52Speaker 1: Brady moment to eat the clock as old school Joe Montana,
- 8:57Speaker 1: go down, take Buffalo to the promised Land.
- 9:00Speaker 3: And what did he do? He fizzled out.
- 9:03Speaker 1: Josh Allen on that game winning drive to eat all
- 9:07Speaker 1: the clock, leave Kansas City, no time left, six plays,
- 9:11Speaker 1: seventeen yards, turnover on downs. That's Josh Allen. Good afternoon,
- 9:16Speaker 1: good evening, and good night. So as much as we
- 9:20Speaker 1: hear about how these teams are separated by the size
- 9:23Speaker 1: of former referee Geen Sterotors index card, the point of
- 9:28Speaker 1: demarcation is that Josh Allen did not step up. Despite
- 9:33Speaker 1: that inconvenient truth, the Josh Allen Marching and Chauder society
- 9:39Speaker 1: has worked overtime to make excuses.
- 9:43Speaker 3: He's got no defense. The wide receivers suck.
- 9:48Speaker 1: The moron say, no accountability, no accountability.
- 9:54Speaker 3: Buffalo was in the AFC.
- 9:57Speaker 1: Title game, but now since they lost, we're to think
- 10:00Speaker 1: that they blow because they lost the game.
- 10:03Speaker 3: That's the Josh Allen toastsuckers.
- 10:06Speaker 1: That's what they want, right, Josh Allen, Lapdog's right and left.
- 10:11Speaker 3: Oh they're no good? What about are you morons? Are
- 10:15Speaker 3: you you idiots? Well?
- 10:17Speaker 1: The du factor he's due. How's that working out? How's
- 10:20Speaker 1: the do factor working out?
- 10:21Speaker 3: Do you do the dow?
- 10:22Speaker 1: How's the new factor? How's that taste? How's the do
- 10:25Speaker 1: factor taste? Bill's mafia?
- 10:29Speaker 4: All right?
- 10:29Speaker 3: Now?
- 10:29Speaker 1: The signature moment for many in this game on that
- 10:33Speaker 1: final drive which fizzled, was a fourth down play Bill's
- 10:39Speaker 1: tight end Dalton Kincaid in a helter skelter play. He
- 10:46Speaker 1: had the ball. It was not a not a perfect throw,
- 10:50Speaker 1: so he was not It was a wobbly throw. Dalton
- 10:54Speaker 1: Kincaid dropped a fourth down catch on that final drive,
- 10:58Speaker 1: resulting in a turnover on downs which was blank.
- 11:03Speaker 3: All right?
- 11:03Speaker 1: That jot that the play of place at Dalton Kincaid,
- 11:07Speaker 1: keep the drivewle eye fourth down, he drops the.
- 11:11Speaker 3: Pass that is blank.
- 11:13Speaker 1: I have Buddhism or go the Buddhist belief of karma.
- 11:20Speaker 1: The main reason that Buffalo is even in that game,
- 11:24Speaker 1: the AFC title game is because Ravens tight end Mark
- 11:27Speaker 1: Andrews dropped a would be two point conversion of the
- 11:31Speaker 1: divisional round, which would have tied the game and most
- 11:35Speaker 1: likely the Ravens would have gone on to win that game. Now,
- 11:37Speaker 1: after that particular game, the divisional round, the Bill's Mafia
- 11:42Speaker 1: made sure everyone kissed their ass in the media, right
- 11:45Speaker 1: virtue signaling, oh, we're.
- 11:47Speaker 3: So cool, We're Bill's Mafia.
- 11:49Speaker 5: Up.
- 11:50Speaker 3: We're gonna give.
- 11:51Speaker 1: Money to Mark Andrews' charity because he screwed up the
- 11:53Speaker 1: game for the Ravens. So they were humble bragging about
- 11:57Speaker 1: how much money they donated to Mark Andrew's charity. And
- 12:02Speaker 1: as you know, true charity does not need internet clout.
- 12:06Speaker 1: You don't need to brag about the charity otherwise it
- 12:08Speaker 1: defeats the whole purpose of the charity. But these idiots
- 12:11Speaker 1: in Bill's Mafia don't understand that. So now we have
- 12:15Speaker 1: a round trip flight. Life comes full circle for Bill's
- 12:19Speaker 1: Mafia and I cannot wait to see how much money
- 12:24Speaker 1: these ding dongs give Dalton Kincage Charity this week. I mean,
- 12:29Speaker 1: that's what Bill's Mafia does, right, I mean, the guy
- 12:32Speaker 1: that costs you the game, you give money to his charity.
- 12:35Speaker 1: I don't know what can Cage charity is, look it up.
- 12:37Speaker 1: Don'tate a lot of money Bill's Mafia, Come on, he
- 12:40Speaker 1: costs you a chance to win the game. Now, I'll
- 12:44Speaker 1: go back to Josh Allen, right, because Josh Allen, they
- 12:48Speaker 1: should have could have would a situation. It should not
- 12:51Speaker 1: have come down to a fourth down. Josh Allen should
- 12:54Speaker 1: have been making plays on first and second and third.
- 12:57Speaker 3: Down and not even need a fourth down.
- 12:59Speaker 1: You put Dalton and Kata in a position that he
- 13:03Speaker 1: had to make a play because you couldn't make plays
- 13:05Speaker 1: on first, second, third down. And as far as the
- 13:07Speaker 1: wide receiver room in Buffalo, they have a twenty million
- 13:12Speaker 1: dollar wide receiver a Mark Cooper. You know what Amark
- 13:15Speaker 1: Cooper did in this game? Four catches for thirty three yards.
- 13:19Speaker 1: What a dipsy do for Amark Cooper. And the point
- 13:24Speaker 1: of all this it's the matchups don't matter. The film
- 13:28Speaker 1: doesn't matter, home field, who cares about home field? Injuries
- 13:32Speaker 1: don't matter. All that matters is who does better in
- 13:35Speaker 1: the moment, and Mahomes always does and normally Josh Allen
- 13:42Speaker 1: does it period.
- 13:44Speaker 3: Stop all right?
- 13:45Speaker 1: Now, last word, what do I get to address the
- 13:49Speaker 1: Komodo Dragon room?
- 13:50Speaker 3: All right? Last word here? So what do you have
- 13:53Speaker 3: to say to all of the.
- 13:54Speaker 1: People claiming that the NFL is fixing games.
- 13:59Speaker 3: For the jeeves. They're fixing these games.
- 14:03Speaker 1: Yeah, all right, so this is a running between the
- 14:06Speaker 1: rain drops is what it's called, right, dodging criticism Josh
- 14:10Speaker 1: Allen Again, the man had the ball with three point
- 14:14Speaker 1: thirty three to go down by a field goal. He
- 14:16Speaker 1: failed to get it done. How is that the referee's fault?
- 14:20Speaker 2: The end?
- 14:20Speaker 3: Every time a team wins, it's rigged.
- 14:23Speaker 1: Now, I do think there's funny business that goes on,
- 14:25Speaker 1: Don't get me wrong, Not in the NFL per se,
- 14:27Speaker 1: but in basketball. It's been proven with Tim Donnie. But
- 14:31Speaker 1: the NFL has bad officials. Every game there's two to
- 14:35Speaker 1: three calls for both teams that are left up.
- 14:38Speaker 3: But because Kansas City wins.
- 14:39Speaker 1: Almost all of these games, it's some kind of deep
- 14:43Speaker 1: state conspiracy.
- 14:44Speaker 3: It makes me want to puke in my mouth. What
- 14:48Speaker 3: sense does it?
- 14:49Speaker 1: If you're the NFL, all right, and I'm not beyond
- 14:53Speaker 1: believing sometimes you say, oh, I gotta rig this thing
- 14:55Speaker 1: to create excitement. Why would you do it for Kansas City?
- 15:00Speaker 1: City is not even a top twenty television market. They're
- 15:03Speaker 1: not even a top thirty television market in Kansas City.
- 15:06Speaker 1: If you were gonna fix something wouldn't you set things
- 15:09Speaker 1: up for the Giants or the Jets where you are
- 15:12Speaker 1: I'm in New York City. My god, the population based
- 15:17Speaker 1: in the tri state area of New York, New Jersey,
- 15:20Speaker 1: Northern New Jersey, Connecticut. Holy crap, that's what you would
- 15:24Speaker 1: fix things for. Those teams have sucked for almost a generation.
- 15:27Speaker 3: They blow.
- 15:29Speaker 1: But you're fixing it for Kansas because of Taylor Swift
- 15:33Speaker 1: and Casey Wolf, the mascot me.
- 15:35Speaker 3: Come on the officials. It's one of these things. It's
- 15:40Speaker 3: a self fulfilling prophecy.
- 15:41Speaker 1: The same thing took place when Tom Brady and the
- 15:44Speaker 1: Patriots were running rough shot.
- 15:46Speaker 3: Over the NFL. The same thing. Oh, it's rigged, it's rigged.
- 15:50Speaker 3: It's rigged. It's a lazy take. It's a lazy take.
- 15:53Speaker 1: Inevitably, again, a couple of calls will be blown in
- 15:57Speaker 1: favor of each team because the official are not good.
- 16:01Speaker 1: The spotlight is placed on Kansas City. It's fed by
- 16:05Speaker 1: engagement farming social media accounts. It's red meat in the
- 16:10Speaker 1: lions then, because if you're looking for clicks, right, if
- 16:13Speaker 1: you're looking for views, the low information fan, the dumb fan,
- 16:18Speaker 1: eats this stuff up right.
- 16:19Speaker 3: They're not smart enough to realize that they're being played.
- 16:22Speaker 1: They're being led down the garden path by selective editing.
- 16:27Speaker 1: And if these games are rigged, why would you even watch?
- 16:31Speaker 1: Or better yet, if you were so convinced, you dingle Berry,
- 16:35Speaker 1: that the games are rigged, why don't you just bet
- 16:37Speaker 1: on the Chiefs every game because they can't.
- 16:40Speaker 3: Lose because the referees. It's all scripted.
- 16:43Speaker 1: So why don't you get rich betting on Kansas City?
- 16:46Speaker 1: If you got it all figured out?
- 16:47Speaker 3: Genius? Why do you do that?
- 16:49Speaker 1: Moron?
- 16:50Speaker 3: Anyway? Not that I'm worked up by that.

- 18:15Speaker 1: with that. So Jade and Daniels have a lead up
- 18:17Speaker 1: to this game. I assume you paid attention. We talked
- 18:19Speaker 1: about it some last week. It all came down to
- 18:23Speaker 1: rookie Jadon Daniels and the upstart Commanders trying to continue
- 18:28Speaker 1: the magic carpet ride into the Bayou as they locked
- 18:31Speaker 1: horns with Jalen Hurts and the Eagles, the winner a

- 18:42Speaker 1: Now, you're watching? Of course you were. Well, the game
- 18:46Speaker 1: got off to an interesting start. When it was all
- 18:49Speaker 1: said and done, Sequon Barkley ran for one hundred and
- 18:52Speaker 1: eighteen yards and not one, not two, but three amigos.
- 18:56Speaker 1: Three touchdowns, Jalen Hurts rushed for three time touchdowns, and
- 19:01Speaker 1: the Eagles Fly. Eagles Fly into the Super Bowl with
- 19:06Speaker 1: a fifty five to twenty three win over the Washington

- 19:21Speaker 1: The word Game of the Star is my old producer
- 19:22Speaker 1: many many years ago. But Saquon Barkley one hundred and
- 19:25Speaker 1: eighteen yards on the ground, the fifty five points for
- 19:27Speaker 1: the Eagles, Jalen Hurts and Philadelphia in the Super Bowl
- 19:32Speaker 1: for the second time.
- 19:34Speaker 3: In three seasons. And this time they are.
- 19:37Speaker 1: Writing the coattails of Sequon Barkley and they will play
- 19:42Speaker 1: former Eagle coach and d Reid and the Chiefs in
- 19:47Speaker 1: the Super Bowl for the second time in three seasons.
- 19:51Speaker 1: And if you were wondering, the fifty five points the
- 19:55Speaker 1: most any team has scored in the conference championship game
- 20:01Speaker 1: since they kept track of that kind of thing back
- 20:03Speaker 1: in nineteen seventy since the merger. So greatest offensive performance
- 20:09Speaker 1: in the history of Championship Sunday in the NFL. We'll
- 20:12Speaker 1: get into the Eagles.
- 20:13Speaker 3: We have plenty of time.
- 20:13Speaker 1: We got two weeks essentially here, NonStop Eagles and Chiefs.
- 20:17Speaker 1: So the better story is in the losing locker room,
- 20:22Speaker 1: and so that is where we are going to focus
- 20:24Speaker 1: in on. As Washington, the Cinderella season comes to an
- 20:28Speaker 1: end and it's all over. Here's the head coach of
- 20:33Speaker 1: the Washington football team, coach Dan Quinn, who knows a
- 20:37Speaker 1: thing or two about losing in big games.
- 20:40Speaker 3: Here he is, well, he's still praising his quarterback. He goes, just.
- 20:44Speaker 6: Doesn't seem like there's going to be one This too
- 20:46Speaker 6: Big Ben.
- 20:46Speaker 3: Honestly, he's got.
- 20:47Speaker 6: Rare Oh thank you, that makes him my day a
- 20:49Speaker 6: lot of ways. I love how he can stay into
- 20:51Speaker 6: this space, you know, in the toughest environments. You know,
- 20:55Speaker 6: heard him to come out at the end. He wanted
- 20:56Speaker 6: to stay in. I said, that's my call. But that's
- 20:59Speaker 6: the competitor. He's just you know, kind of acquired in
- 21:01Speaker 6: that way.
- 21:03Speaker 3: We play that again. I don't think I've ever heard
- 21:05Speaker 3: a coach actually reference my name. Play that again. I
- 21:07Speaker 3: want to hear that again. Said my name? Did he said?
- 21:09Speaker 3: I said my name?
- 21:09Speaker 6: It just doesn't seem like there's going to be one.
- 21:11Speaker 3: This too Big Ben. Honestly, he's got rare. I love
- 21:16Speaker 3: how he said Ben, thank you. All right. Dan Quinn's
- 21:22Speaker 3: not a bad guy, said my name.
- 21:25Speaker 1: Anyway, Let's get to it, and the first question we
- 21:29Speaker 1: will ask you is we discussed what went wrong for
- 21:32Speaker 1: dan Quinn's commanders. It's one thing to lose, but to
- 21:36Speaker 1: lose with this kind of gusto. I've got bullfighting, tow truck,
- 21:41Speaker 1: and Bambi, and we will combine all of these things
- 21:46Speaker 1: together and we are going to make some delicious pastrami.
- 21:51Speaker 1: A nice pastrami sandwich on rye bread.
- 21:55Speaker 3: Solid.
- 21:55Speaker 1: All right, So nab the problem with Washington. I jotted
- 22:05Speaker 1: this down on my notes app on my phone. I
- 22:07Speaker 1: was I was typing, I was fussing around my phone.
- 22:10Speaker 1: The problem is they could not hold the ball for
- 22:15Speaker 1: sixty minutes.
- 22:16Speaker 3: That was the one. I'm feeling pretty good.
- 22:19Speaker 1: On the TV show, I did take the Commanders on
- 22:21Speaker 1: the TV show. The Commanders came out of the gate
- 22:23Speaker 1: on an.
- 22:23Speaker 3: Eighteen play drive.
- 22:25Speaker 1: So I'm thinking, all right, I'm starting to text people
- 22:28Speaker 1: I told you, I told you. Look at this. They're
- 22:31Speaker 1: playing keep Away. They're playing keep Away. I was feeling
- 22:34Speaker 1: pretty good. Eighteen play drive ate up over seven minutes
- 22:39Speaker 1: ate up over almost half the first quarter, and I'm like, okay,
- 22:44Speaker 1: we got something.
- 22:44Speaker 3: Here we go.
- 22:47Speaker 1: And they ended up getting a field goal. Was like, okay,
- 22:49Speaker 1: I'm fine. You know, they got a field goal. Stay
- 22:52Speaker 1: in the game, eat the clock. That's good, you're feeling
- 22:54Speaker 1: all right. The problem is after they scored the field goal,
- 22:58Speaker 1: they didn't try the on side kick and they had
- 23:01Speaker 1: to play the rest of the game. And the Eagles
- 23:04Speaker 1: got the ball, and how many plays did it take
- 23:06Speaker 1: them to go down and score a touchdown? How about
- 23:09Speaker 1: a handoff to Sequon Barkley, one play, sixty yards, see
- 23:15Speaker 1: you later, touchdown birds. Now the rest of the game,
- 23:20Speaker 1: Barkley was held to only four point one yards per carrie,
- 23:23Speaker 1: but still sixty on that first carry. It never got
- 23:27Speaker 1: better after that. This was a new level of stinkage,
- 23:30Speaker 1: and we thought it was like an all encompassing type
- 23:34Speaker 1: of suck, is what it was. The Commanders turned the
- 23:37Speaker 1: ball over not once, not twice, not three.
- 23:39Speaker 3: Times, how about four times?
- 23:41Speaker 1: Three fumbles, an interception, and a partridge in a pear tree.
- 23:46Speaker 1: And that resulted in twenty eight points for the Eagles.
- 23:50Speaker 1: So hypothetically, if Washington had played a clean game, they
- 23:54Speaker 1: would have only lost by four points and they would
- 23:57Speaker 1: have covered the spread.
- 23:58Speaker 3: And infant butts with candy and nuts. I win all
- 24:00Speaker 3: my bets. I don't, But who are we kidding?
- 24:03Speaker 1: Right? Washington went into this game and they were practicing bullfighting.
- 24:10Speaker 1: It's like they were in Tijuana at a bullfight. They
- 24:13Speaker 1: were playing the Matador defense. Ole ole, ole Oley. It
- 24:17Speaker 1: was lackluster, was low effort. The Eagles put up four
- 24:21Speaker 1: hundred and fifty nine yards and despite Washington having that
- 24:25Speaker 1: seven minute drive to start the game, the Eagles actually
- 24:30Speaker 1: won the time of possession, so over the final fifty
- 24:33Speaker 1: three minutes it was a domination situation.
- 24:36Speaker 3: Seven of seven in the red zone.
- 24:39Speaker 1: That's like when the the uncles play the kids at Thanksgiving.
- 24:42Speaker 3: The parents play.
- 24:44Speaker 1: The kids and they beat up seven of seven the
- 24:46Speaker 1: red zone, seven of seven in gold to got situations.
- 24:51Speaker 3: Washington.
- 24:53Speaker 1: It all came a part of the seams the powder
- 24:55Speaker 1: puff football from the team formerly known as the Redskins. Now,
- 25:00Speaker 1: how about Jayden Daniels that story Here we will hear
- 25:04Speaker 1: from from Jaden and Daniels who points out the Komodo
- 25:08Speaker 1: dragon in the room. You gotta hold on to the ball,
- 25:11Speaker 1: take a listen.
- 25:12Speaker 5: Turnovers play a huge factor until a game, especially playing
- 25:16Speaker 5: a good team like Philly. You know you can't get
- 25:18Speaker 5: those of those guys extra possessions.
- 25:21Speaker 1: Okay, thank you, I didn't know that. Here's one more
- 25:24Speaker 1: from Jalen Daniels.
- 25:26Speaker 3: Well, he says he's not really enjoying what this is
- 25:28Speaker 3: all about, and he has a wish.
- 25:30Speaker 5: Just savors his mama. With the with the people in
- 25:32Speaker 5: the locker room. You know, every year, every locker room
- 25:34Speaker 5: was different. So you know, we earned the right to
- 25:37Speaker 5: be here. But you know, I think they manage it.
- 25:39Speaker 5: It just sucks. I don't want to have a fun
- 25:41Speaker 5: like this again. But you know, you got to deal
- 25:43Speaker 5: with it and you know, move on from it.
- 25:46Speaker 1: Okay, So wide Angle Leins. How did Jaden Daniels do?
- 25:51Speaker 1: So it's a tale of two halves. So I thought
- 25:53Speaker 1: in the first half he was fine. He wasn't great,
- 25:55Speaker 1: but I I had jotted down good enough.
- 25:58Speaker 3: To win the game in the first half, enough to
- 26:00Speaker 3: win the game.
- 26:00Speaker 1: The turnovers that were an issue in the first half,
- 26:03Speaker 1: but it wasn't backbreaking.
- 26:05Speaker 3: They were still in the game thirty minutes in.
- 26:07Speaker 1: I in my mind, he outplayed Jalen Hurts in the
- 26:10Speaker 1: first half.
- 26:11Speaker 3: I don't think it hurts was that great.
- 26:12Speaker 1: So at halftime I was like, ah, he's you know,
- 26:15Speaker 1: he's doing okay, and then maybe they'll get a turnover Washington,
- 26:18Speaker 1: They'll they'll get back in the game.
- 26:20Speaker 3: But as the game.
- 26:21Speaker 1: Kept going and because of the score, time and score,
- 26:25Speaker 1: Washington had to keep throwing the ball and Daniels by
- 26:28Speaker 1: the time we got to the midway point of the
- 26:30Speaker 1: third quarter, Jaden Daniels needed a tow truck. He was
- 26:33Speaker 1: sputtering and ran out of gas playing uphill. He ended
- 26:37Speaker 1: with a thud, averaging in the second half four point
- 26:40Speaker 1: three yards per pass passer rating after halftime of fifty
- 26:44Speaker 1: three point four, which ain't good. Now, is Jaden Daniels
- 26:48Speaker 1: gar on t to be back in the playoffs next season?
- 26:54Speaker 1: So the answer to that is an absolutely, not a
- 26:58Speaker 1: and absolutely not now. I'm a big fan, I said
- 27:02Speaker 1: on the TV show, and I believe this. He's a
- 27:03Speaker 1: top five quarterback in the NFL right now. He is
- 27:06Speaker 1: and I'm not taking that back. This was not his
- 27:10Speaker 1: greatest moment. Jaden Daniels has written an amazing opening act
- 27:15Speaker 1: to his manuscript, his NFL resume. The Commanders went from
- 27:19Speaker 1: a suck bag four win team last season to twelve
- 27:24Speaker 1: and five this season, and now they go back to zero,
- 27:28Speaker 1: which means they can go back to winning six games
- 27:31Speaker 1: or seven games next year. Nothing is given. Everything has
- 27:34Speaker 1: to be earned. And we assume Washington's going to become
- 27:38Speaker 1: a destination, or at least that's what we're gonna hear.
- 27:40Speaker 1: That they'll add defensive players, they'll try to put that
- 27:44Speaker 1: patchwork defense together and at least be average defensively. Don't
- 27:48Speaker 1: likely go out and get another playmaker on offense, another
- 27:51Speaker 1: toy for Jaden Daniels to play with other than Terry McLaurin,
- 27:56Speaker 1: and they'll have somebody else.
- 27:57Speaker 3: But it's not guarantee, you right. I mean everyone brings
- 27:59Speaker 3: up Dan Marino. You know, Dan Marino got to.
- 28:01Speaker 1: A Super Bowl right away and a while, you know,
- 28:04Speaker 1: the second year or whatever it was, and they're gonna
- 28:06Speaker 1: be there again and it never happened.
- 28:08Speaker 3: All right, final point? So what was the secret sauce
- 28:13Speaker 3: for the birds? For the birds?
- 28:16Speaker 1: So it was not the mayor of Philadelphia. It was not,
- 28:19Speaker 1: although she was probably excited, right, can we hear from
- 28:22Speaker 1: the mayor? Is the mayor there?
- 28:24Speaker 3: No?
- 28:24Speaker 1: I us, we don't have the Mayor, but the secret
- 28:27Speaker 1: sauce for the birds, mister clean, the magic eraser, mister
- 28:32Speaker 1: clean right, no mistakes. Wal Washington handed them four presents,
- 28:38Speaker 1: four of them four presents. The Eagles are now twenty
- 28:42Speaker 1: two to one in their last twenty three games when
- 28:45Speaker 1: they've won the turnover battle that we've pointed out that
- 28:48Speaker 1: is the most important, most important number that indicates whether
- 28:52Speaker 1: you're gonna win or not. If you don't turn the
- 28:55Speaker 1: ball over and the other team does turn the ball over,
- 28:58Speaker 1: your chances of winning are three.
- 29:00Speaker 3: The roof to the moon, to the moon.
- 29:03Speaker 1: Now, Philly's offensive line overpowered the defensive front of the Commanders.
- 29:09Speaker 1: The big fat guys up front were better than the
- 29:12Speaker 1: fat guys for the other team. In the second half.
- 29:16Speaker 1: It was an infectious situation. It was rapidly spreading. They
- 29:20Speaker 1: were a character from Disney's Bambi. The offensive and defensive line.
- 29:25Speaker 1: They were thumper because this was a thumping that took place.
- 29:29Speaker 1: Line them up and mow him down, knock them down.
- 29:33Speaker 1: Omni Present turned Washington into shredded chicken.
- 29:38Speaker 3: Mock chicken.
- 29:40Speaker 1: Now would you rate how would you rate Saquon Barkley's performance?
- 29:44Speaker 1: So Saquon Barkley. You know, he had the sixty yard
- 29:47Speaker 1: burst right at the beginning, he had the three touchdowns.
- 29:50Speaker 1: It was majestic. And it was also nice because he
- 29:56Speaker 1: went for two point fifty against the Rams in the
- 30:01Speaker 1: last round, the vision round. And he's kept going crazy
- 30:03Speaker 1: and had the couple of big sixty plus yard runs.
- 30:07Speaker 1: So he doesn't gets everybody. And Barkley, if he was
- 30:11Speaker 1: a circus act, he would be the human cannonball.
- 30:15Speaker 3: He's great. Now. Kansas City is very good up front,
- 30:18Speaker 3: and we'll see what they do. And everyone who.
- 30:21Speaker 1: Plays Philadelphia wants Jalen Hurts to be the person that
- 30:23Speaker 1: beats them with his arm because everyone doesn't think he's
- 30:26Speaker 1: that good at throwing the football.
- 30:28Speaker 3: And no one has been able to force Jalen Hurts
- 30:31Speaker 3: to beat them with his arm.
- 30:33Speaker 1: And if you can do that and Jalen Hurts beat you, okay, fine,
- 30:37Speaker 1: but you'd rather have that happen than Barkley.
- 30:40Speaker 3: And so here we are.

- 30:44Speaker 2: Show weekdays at two am Eastern eleven pm Pacific.

- 30:51Speaker 2: This is one big event.
- 30:53Speaker 3: Gets grilled Goobolo.
- 30:57Speaker 7: A report on Saturday from Adam Schefer said that the
- 30:59Speaker 7: NFL was expected to expand its replay assist usage in
- 31:02Speaker 7: the offseason, and that could include getting help on late
- 31:05Speaker 7: hits on sliding quarterbacks. Ben Are we approaching too much
- 31:08Speaker 7: replay territory?
- 31:10Speaker 1: Yes, because it doesn't matter. They're still gonna f it up.
- 31:13Speaker 1: One man's inconclusive evidence will be another man's, no doubt
- 31:17Speaker 1: about it.
- 31:18Speaker 3: Even with instant replay. We've had instant replay for most
- 31:21Speaker 3: of my life as an adult.
- 31:23Speaker 1: Anyway, We've had instant replay, and it just creates another delay,
- 31:28Speaker 1: and it's just gonna cause more, which is good.
- 31:31Speaker 3: Talk radio.
- 31:31Speaker 1: Causes more controversy, but it's not gonna end bad calls.
- 31:34Speaker 1: It's not gonna end like give me that people. People
- 31:37Speaker 1: are convinced that Josh Allen got the first down. I
- 31:39Speaker 1: didn't think he got the first down. It's a judgment call.
- 31:42Speaker 1: Most of officiating are judgment calls. They're subjective, not objective.
- 31:46Speaker 1: So you're gonna have instant replay up the wazoo.
- 31:49Speaker 3: It's not gonna change that all right.
- 31:52Speaker 7: Next, with the hiring of Pete Carroll by the Raiders
- 31:54Speaker 7: on Friday, the news has many speculating that Russell Wilson
- 31:57Speaker 7: could be heading to Vegas. Ben, what are the odds
- 32:00Speaker 7: of a Carol Wilson reunion.
- 32:03Speaker 3: I think they're actually pretty good. They don't have a quarterback.
- 32:05Speaker 1: The Raiders they PLU from what I understand, they were
- 32:09Speaker 1: going to hire somebody else and the guy they wanted
- 32:11Speaker 1: to turn them down, so they were forced to hire
- 32:12Speaker 1: Pete Carroll because they got bamboozled. But Russell Wilson is outdated,
- 32:18Speaker 1: he's antiquated, but he loves Pete Carroll and it was
- 32:22Speaker 1: so weird in Seattle, back in the glory days of
- 32:24Speaker 1: the Seahawks. Pete Carroll and Russell Wilson, like Russ was
- 32:27Speaker 1: doing an impersonation of Pete Carroll. He had the same cadence,
- 32:31Speaker 1: the way he talked. It was really wild. I would
- 32:35Speaker 1: not be shot. I don't think he's back in Pittsburgh,
- 32:37Speaker 1: so he's gonna want to play somewhere.
- 32:39Speaker 3: Vegas makes a lot of sense because Pete Carroll knows him.
- 32:42Speaker 7: Next after helping Ohio State win a national title, Chip
- 32:45Speaker 7: Kelly is being linked to a few NFL teams as
- 32:47Speaker 7: any potential offensive coordinator. Those teams are the Texans, Jags,
- 32:51Speaker 7: and Bucks. Do you think he would be a good
- 32:53Speaker 7: hire for any of them.
- 32:55Speaker 1: Yeah, I think he'd be great for the Texans in
- 32:57Speaker 1: particular with CJ.
- 32:58Speaker 3: Straup.
- 32:58Speaker 1: But it's my belief he want did the NFL job
- 33:01Speaker 1: last year when he left Ucla. He ended up going
- 33:03Speaker 1: to Ohio State, but he was interviewing with NFL jobs,
- 33:06Speaker 1: and my theory on this is he would have taken
- 33:08Speaker 1: one of him. He didn't get offered the right job,
- 33:10Speaker 1: otherwise he would have been in the NFL. He just
- 33:11Speaker 1: went to Ohio State to camp out for a year.
- 33:13Speaker 1: But yeah, Chip NOO's offense the guys of football life
- 33:16Speaker 1: or why not there? It is Mallard of the third degree?
- 33:20Speaker 1: How did we do he Passeday?
- 33:23Speaker 2: I won? I won. Fox Sports Radio has the best
