  We are talking week 8 of the NFL season.
• 0:31
  As always I have Mr. Smelty with me today.
• 0:33
  How we doing?
• 0:34
  How we feeling sir?
• 0:35
  Well, I could be feeling a little better, but I'm doing alright.
• 0:39
  Happy to be back for another ep.
• 0:42
  Great week of football, that's for sure.
• 0:45
  I could not agree more.
• 0:46
  It was a pretty good week here.
• 0:48
  We're going to recap 5 games here, but before we get any farther, I always have to thank
• 0:52
  our man behind the X's and O's, Mr. Cav Dog.
• 0:54
  Couldn't be here without your brother man.
• 0:56
  Yeah Cav.
• 0:58
  So I know I kind of went over this briefly last time in the middle of the episode, but
• 1:02
  just want to break down exactly how these episodes are going to lay out here.
• 1:05
  We have some upgraded audio equipment, so we should be good to roll out here every week
• 1:09
  and should be bringing you guys an episode every week.
• 1:12
  But as always, like, comment, subscribe.
• 1:14
  We are on YouTube now as well, so make sure to go over to YouTube.
• 1:18
  As always you can get us on our Spotify channel also.
• 1:21
  So we are going to start each episode with 5 games that we are picking to be the games
• 1:27
  of the week, also including my favorite team, the Packers, Smelty's favorite team, the Vikings,
• 1:34
  are going to be included in either one or two of those games.
• 1:37
  So we're going to recap those 5 games.
• 1:39
  We're going to pick winners of those 5 games.
• 1:42
  We're going to keep a tally each week, and then the following week we are going to recap
• 1:45
  those games, and then also pick 5 new games of the next week's slate.
• 1:49
  In between that we are going to throw in our own personal segment here we're going to call
• 1:53
  Tent Talk.
• 1:54
  So that's going to be any big news that happened, whether it be an injury that came up, a signee
• 1:58
  in a trade, you know, as of this week for example, we do have the trade deadline approach
• 2:03
  us.
• 2:04
  We did have some big trades we will talk about, but that's going to be what that segment's
• 2:07
  going to be dedicated to.
• 2:09
  Then to recap Tent Talk, we are going to have Smelty have his own segment during the podcast
• 2:13
  here which is going to be the Bonehead Move of the week, which Smelty's just going to
• 2:17
  pick one of the biggest Bonehead Moves of the week here, and we're going to talk a little
• 2:20
  bit about that, throw some entertainment value into the podcast here so it's not just strictly
• 2:24
  football.
• 2:25
  And then as previously mentioned, we are going to then just pick the new 5 games, our 5 games
• 2:31
  of the week.
• 2:32
  We're also going to have a game of the week that are just our locks, the biggest game
• 2:35
  we're going to think of here, or the biggest, you know, for sure bet that we are going to
• 2:39
  pick during the week.
• 2:40
  Well let's get started sir.
• 2:43
  We had our two teams face off.
• 2:46
  My Packers were at home at Lambo.
• 2:49
  Your Vikings came in and our Packers looked just terrible.
• 2:54
  I'm going to get into it here a little bit more, but as a Vikings fan I'm sure this will
• 2:58
  bring you joy.
• 2:59
  Let me know how that game went sir.
• 3:02
  The game as a whole is bittersweet.
• 3:04
  Obviously we know why as we get into that in a little bit, but I'm going to take that
• 3:09
  W. In Lambo, and I'm going to tell you right now, when you guys come over to the bank,
• 3:15
  you ain't winning here either.
• 3:18
  Wait, no, we didn't play already here.
• 3:21
  Yeah, so when you do come here, that's what I thought.
• 3:23
  Back up.
• 3:24
  When you do come here, you ain't winning here either.
• 3:25
  So we'll go 2-0 on the Packers here this season.
• 3:28
  You heard it here.
• 3:29
  I don't know if Jordan Love will be the quarterback at that point or not, but yeah, no, I'm really
• 3:35
  thrilled with it.
• 3:37
  I think the game went well for Vikings in general.
• 3:40
  The defense looked ridiculous mixed with the Packers' inability to move the football.
• 3:45
  I mean, when you have to have your fans start going nuts over a first down, the first first
• 3:52
  down, that's wild.
• 3:54
  That says all you need to know.
• 3:57
  Like you know the offensive woes.
• 3:59
  What do you think is going on?
• 4:00
  What is stopping them from getting past this bump in the road?
• 4:05
  I mean, what it seems.
• 4:06
  The biggest thing that's contributing to our offensive woes is our offense hasn't changed
• 4:10
  since last year and we got rid of a generational talent at quarterback.
• 4:14
  You can't run the same offense as an Aaron Rodgers with the Jordan Love.
• 4:18
  We don't have top tier receiving threats that can go up and consistently win those one on
• 4:22
  ones or win those routes to when you have that Devontae Adams who you can throw the
• 4:26
  ball to and there's a very good chance he's going to come down with it regardless of what's
• 4:30
  around him or who's around him.
• 4:32
  We just don't have the receiving talent to run this offense.
• 4:36
  They're not getting as open as they would like to be and Jordan Love is just missing
• 4:41
  throws.
• 4:42
  You can't blame it all on LeFleur's system when there's throws that he's just flat or
• 4:45
  missing.
• 4:46
  He can't complete a deep ball.
• 4:47
  That's just completely out of the question at this point and for the first time in a
• 4:51
  very long time the Packers have some receivers that can actually stretch the field.
• 4:55
  We haven't had a Christian Watson.
• 4:57
  Jaden Reid has some wheels on him.
• 4:59
  We just don't do that and then on top of that we have Aaron Jones having seven carries.
• 5:04
  We're not going to win a lot of football games having Aaron Jones not touch the ball more
• 5:07
  than 10 times.
• 5:08
  I mean do you think Aaron Jones was on a pitch count though?
• 5:11
  Pitch count or not so AJ Dillon had seven carries.
• 5:14
  Jordan Love led the team in rushing with four carries for 34 yards.
• 5:18
  We had 17 total rushes.
• 5:20
  With four of those being QB whether they're designed or not, whatever, I can't remember
• 5:24
  honestly if they were or not.
• 5:25
  I'm assuming those are scrambling away and getting what you can.
• 5:29
  But yeah if that's the case your quarterback's scrambling away getting what he can and he's
• 5:33
  leading the team in rushing, that's weird.
• 5:37
  That's not good.
• 5:38
  It's not a good sign.
• 5:39
  Yeah and to me it comes down to the play cone.
• 5:41
  You're going against a Vikings defense that is not a great defense.
• 5:44
  Made them look really good last week when you're playing the Packers offense but they're
• 5:47
  not a top tier defense especially against the run.
• 5:50
  But you know they're going to be blitzing you at this point.
• 5:53
  50-50 chance they're coming.
• 5:56
  Flores ascending the house.
• 5:58
  Great.
• 5:59
  Designer run play that can you can run against the blitz.
• 6:00
  That's what I'm saying.
• 6:01
  They weren't ready for it.
• 6:02
  But you have to be ready for it.
• 6:05
  You have to be.
• 6:06
  The other thing is like the first half of every single game this year we cannot game
• 6:10
  plan going into a week.
• 6:13
  We cannot game plan going into a week.
• 6:14
  We can make the necessary halftime adjustments and come out a second half and actually look
• 6:18
  like a halfway decent offense.
• 6:20
  But we cannot game plan going into the week.
• 6:23
  Every single week our first half is just pitiful.
• 6:26
  No I hear you and I feel you in a way too because yes the Vikings got the win 24-10
• 6:34
  but the Vikings first quarter turnovers are just atrocious.
• 6:39
  So I understand the first half woes.
• 6:43
  I think this was the first time this season the Vikings have scored in the first quarter
• 6:47
  and I think it was a field goal if I'm not mistaken.
• 6:50
  I'm trying to remind I watched the whole game but you know that was a solid four days ago.
• 6:55
  But I still remember the win obviously but you know what I mean?
• 6:59
  Yeah.
• 7:00
  The Vikings first rushing touchdown of the year in the first quarter.
• 7:04
  Yeah okay that's what it is then.
• 7:05
  That's what it is.
• 7:07
  First score in the first quarter I'm pretty sure for us all season and then first rushing
• 7:10
  touchdown of the season which is crazy that it's Cam Akers considering Madison was supposed
• 7:15
  to be the guy.
• 7:16
  Madison's not the guy.
• 7:17
  I'll tell you that right now.
• 7:19
  He's I mean I've discussed it with you before.
• 7:22
  He's not a one running back.
• 7:25
  He's a 1-B-2 running back in this league.
• 7:27
  He needs that bulk how that can come and can carry the lion's share the Delvin Cook that
• 7:32
  he's had and come in and be complementary to that running back.
• 7:35
  He just can't handle the workload.
• 7:36
  Then for the Vikings it's time to give Cam Akers the fucking ball.
• 7:39
  I 100% agree with you.
• 7:41
  Like he had nine carries compared to Madison 16.
• 7:44
  No spread that out a little more.
• 7:45
  It's time.
• 7:46
  Akers has been here now I think this will be week three or four learning our playbook
• 7:52
  over here.
• 7:54
  I know KOC's got to have some up his sleeve for him.
• 7:57
  There's a reason why they brought him here and it's probably to be that 1-2 with Madison
• 8:01
  then start letting it happen.
• 8:04
  You know definitely got to get Akers the ball more.
• 8:07
  Madison's just simply not it and I really like this Addison cat.
• 8:11
  I predicted a couple weeks ago that he would you know go for 125 and two tubs.
• 8:15
  I was just a week away from that.
• 8:17
  He did it the following week but when JJ comes back and with Hockinson producing like he
• 8:24
  is that offense going to be scary.
• 8:28
  However you lost your quarterback.
• 8:30
  We did lose the quarterback you know and it's super unfortunate.
• 8:35
  Like it's not just obviously like that Kirk was cooking because he was the last couple
• 8:40
  weeks San Francisco and now in Green Bay.
• 8:44
  It's more than that.
• 8:45
  The dude's a leader on the team.
• 8:46
  The guys respect them.
• 8:48
  The league respect them.
• 8:49
  I mean there's guys around the league that respect Kirk because of just who he is as
• 8:52
  a person.
• 8:53
  So it just sucks for a guy too who really hasn't had injury history in the NFL.
• 8:59
  He's usually been pretty healthy.
• 9:01
  So it just sucks to see it for the guy.
• 9:05
  The Vikes got some interesting things to think about.
• 9:09
  You know they made a move.
• 9:11
  We'll talk about the move later and then they got the rookie.
• 9:14
  You know so we'll just see.
• 9:16
  We'll just see what they want to decide going into Atlanta.
• 9:20
  Jackson's going to be starting a different quarterback this week as well so that's shaping
• 9:24
  up for a good matchup but we'll talk about all that later.
• 9:27
  Yeah it's really unfortunate that he went down not only because he's playing the best
• 9:31
  football you could argue in his entire career.
• 9:33
  He's been a consistent quarterback this year.
• 9:35
  The biggest reason I know that is not that I'm a Packers fan living in Minnesota.
• 9:40
  He's my fantasy quarterback man.
• 9:42
  He's been great for me this year and I just lost a lot of consistency with that.
• 9:47
  So it is what it is.
• 9:50
  We'll get into his replacement a little bit later.
• 9:52
  Let's move on to the next game here.
• 9:54
  We had the Bengals going into San Francisco and taking on the 49ers and just fucking racking
• 10:01
  them dude.
• 10:02
  And that was a game the 49ers can't lose in my opinion.
• 10:07
  That's what their third loss in a row.
• 10:10
  Third loss in a row.
• 10:12
  Like you can't who did they lose to before the Vikings.
• 10:14
  I can't remember who it was.
• 10:15
  I gave them the first L. The Browns?
• 10:18
  So you're going to lose to the Browns.
• 10:19
  You go to Minnesota lose there and now you're going to go home and lose to the Bengals who
• 10:26
  are trying to find themselves.
• 10:27
  And now a couple weeks in a row I would say the Bengals have probably found themselves.
• 10:32
  I would agree with you.
• 10:33
  The Bengals look back.
• 10:34
  Joe Burrows back in his form.
• 10:35
  He was 28 for 32 for 283 and three touchdowns with the quarterback rating of 134.8.
• 10:41
  That's really really really hard to argue against.
• 10:44
  That was just an incredible stat line.
• 10:46
  He diced up this 49ers defense.
• 10:49
  He was sacked only three times but to be honest with you he didn't get pressured a lot throughout
• 10:52
  the game.
• 10:53
  That vaunted front seven of the Niners D. That's where their specialty is.
• 10:57
  They couldn't get to him.
• 10:59
  And that's been the Bengals offenses Achilles heel is not protecting Burrow because then
• 11:04
  you can get Joe Mixon opening up for 16 carries 87 yards.
• 11:09
  Jamar had 10 catches 10 yards on 12 targets.
• 11:12
  So it was the Bengals looked back.
• 11:16
  Their defense looked real good.
• 11:18
  Purdy doesn't look great brother.
• 11:20
  Dude I know that.
• 11:22
  Yeah for sure.
• 11:23
  I mean Purdy.
• 11:24
  All right.
• 11:25
  So first I want to go back to Burrow real quick and then we'll get into Purdy because
• 11:27
  yeah he it's interesting.
• 11:29
  It's interesting.
• 11:30
  So so Burrow actually started the game with 19 consecutive passes in the first half consecutive
• 11:37
  which is insane.
• 11:39
  And like you think that'd be some record.
• 11:40
  I don't know what the NFL record is.
• 11:42
  Someone would have thought I would look that up but I did not.
• 11:45
  However in Bengals history that makes Joe Joey B. Second in Bengals history first would
• 11:51
  be this dude named Ken Anderson.
• 11:53
  I have no idea who that is.
• 11:54
  I apologize.
• 11:55
  Bangle fans no clue because it's 1983.
• 11:59
  So I don't know.
• 12:00
  But he holds the record at 20 Joey B. Hit 19.
• 12:03
  That's pretty cool.
• 12:04
  He was on fire.
• 12:06
  He's on fire.
• 12:07
  His chase was open like he says he always is and he was on Sunday.
• 12:12
  Absolutely.
• 12:14
  And Joe Mixon always seemed to come up with a good run when they needed it.
• 12:18
  I did catch quite a bit of that game and every time they really needed some yards on the
• 12:23
  ground Mixon was there to clean him up.
• 12:25
  So but Purdy man the two picks he did have were kind of kind of bad.
• 12:32
  I mean I know the second one for sure.
• 12:33
  I mean right to the middle linebacker while the receivers right behind him and then there's
• 12:38
  still another two three defenders right around him.
• 12:41
  Like I don't know what you're seeing dude.
• 12:43
  There's four white jerseys there.
• 12:46
  What what are you looking at?
• 12:48
  Yeah I don't get that one either man.
• 12:49
  He's just staring him down throwing it right to him.
• 12:52
  Kind of looked like Jordan Love the other week.
• 12:55
  Yeah man there's not much else that needs to be said about this one.
• 12:58
  I don't know.
• 12:59
  The Bengals look great.
• 13:00
  The Niners are vastly vastly looking like a different team.
• 13:04
  They were just a couple weeks ago.
• 13:05
  I agree with you.
• 13:06
  I will say about the Niners is that George Kittle is proving again that he is that guy.
• 13:12
  I think personally George Kittle is the second best tight end in the league followed by Travis
• 13:17
  Kelsey and then Mark Andrews for me is third and then my boy TJ Hawkinson which people
• 13:24
  have him ranked a little higher.
• 13:25
  I don't see it right now.
• 13:27
  Hopefully he makes up for it considering he's I think the top paid tight end in the league
• 13:30
  but whatever.
• 13:32
  Stop talking about the Vikings.
• 13:34
  But yeah another thing too about the Niners is McCaffrey was kind of off.
• 13:38
  I didn't catch a whole ton of that game.
• 13:39
  Did he leave with an injury at all or anything like that because he had 12 carries but only
• 13:44
  54 yards four and a half yards of carry.
• 13:46
  He did have a tutty but he's kind of like with Debo.
• 13:51
  Debo was still out this game was he not?
• 13:53
  Yeah so with Debo out you really need that like explosive big play possibility and McCaffrey
• 14:00
  has that and it just didn't happen.
• 14:02
  So he also had six catches for 64 yards in a touchdown too though so he had over 110
• 14:07
  yards in 18 touches so you know that's pretty good production.
• 14:11
  It was I don't know man pretty just looks off and when the score is 30 won't do it.
• 14:16
  The score got away like it did.
• 14:18
  You can't keep running the ball as consistently when you're down you're going to have to pass
• 14:21
  and they incorporated him kind of into that Debo role in the passing game a little bit
• 14:25
  but 16 games now I think consecutive games with him having a touchdown.
• 14:30
  It's either 15 or 16 consecutive games with him having a touchdown.
• 14:33
  That's absolutely insane.
• 14:34
  He broke the record McCaffrey.
• 14:35
  McCaffrey oh okay.
• 14:36
  Yeah he broke the record.
• 14:37
  Yeah I didn't even know he caught that many balls like I said I didn't see that game particularly
• 14:42
  too much but yeah I mean obviously I have to recant some of what I said because he obviously
• 14:47
  had a pretty solid game.
• 14:50
  Yeah he put it together but that's crazy.
• 14:52
  I think the last I saw is if you would have bet I remember if it was like 10 or 100 bucks
• 14:56
  on Christian McCaffrey touchdown and rolled that over each game you'd be over like 400k
• 15:01
  and what you actually made off of that if you just kept rolling the money over which
• 15:05
  is just absurd.
• 15:06
  That's insane.
• 15:07
  Another thing about Purdy real quick and then we'll move on here.
• 15:10
  Purdy also didn't have I swear I saw this he didn't have an interception at home or
• 15:16
  he had one interception at home in every home you know all the home games he's played to
• 15:20
  this point in his career which obviously isn't many but he only had one and then he went
• 15:24
  off and threw two at home in his comfort zone and they were bad so yeah it's just it's really
• 15:29
  interesting something to keep an eye on for next week.
• 15:34
  Yeah I guess we'll see.
• 15:36
  Yeah most definitely most definitely.
• 15:37
  Well let's go on to the next game here we have the Seahawks and the Browns.
• 15:43
  Seahawks won that game 24-20 great game arguably the best game of the week per se in terms
• 15:50
  of how the game was played.
• 15:52
  We have PJ Walker still in at quarterback for the Browns.
• 15:55
  He didn't look great this game after he looked halfway decent against the Colts and the Niners.
• 15:59
  Kareem Hunt 14 carries 55 yards didn't look great either you know we did score but that's
• 16:07
  not a great you know yards per carry and then Jerome Ford didn't have the game I was expecting
• 16:12
  him to either with Pierre Strong Jr. getting a bulk of the carries also.
• 16:17
  Fun game to watch.
• 16:19
  What's up with Geno Smith this year man doesn't look like the same quarterback as last year
• 16:23
  and he has better talent.
• 16:25
  Yeah no 100% real quick 49ers are also on bye next week so my bad on that keep an eye
• 16:30
  on it after bye week but going back to Geno Smith.
• 16:36
  You don't really get it I mean he's got the big arm he's got the downfield ability we
• 16:40
  seen I mean we saw it on a pretty nice play to DK real deep over the shoulder.
• 16:48
  DK catches it perfectly it was like I don't know 50 yard play whatever but so we know
• 16:51
  Geno still got the arm in him but it's the decisions now who he's looking at is kind
• 16:58
  of weird.
• 16:59
  I mean it was quarterback play on both sides of the ball that game that was kind of off.
• 17:03
  I think the game could have been a lot more higher scoring if if the quarterbacks actually
• 17:08
  really showed up to play that game I feel like both didn't really play that well.
• 17:13
  But Geno specifically I don't know I don't think there's anything that I don't know
• 17:18
  he should be still producing at the level he did last year I mean he's still out here
• 17:24
  winning football games you know that's a fact.
• 17:28
  Yeah the Seahawks are five and two they've taken in control of that NFC West division
• 17:33
  at this point with the Niners going on their skid so they're doing what they need to do
• 17:38
  to win games.
• 17:39
  They made a big acquisition here at the deadline we'll get into that later but I don't know
• 17:45
  man the Seahawks they have so much talent on offense.
• 17:48
  They need to run more they need to run Kenneth Walker a little bit more.
• 17:52
  I would agree they only had 17 like carries the entire game and only eight with Kenneth
• 17:56
  Walker and he's you just can't.
• 17:58
  He's a potential game changer right and like he averaged 8.3 yards a carry well okay one
• 18:05
  carry he had what was it 25 24 yards oh 45 yarder so yeah so run them more man get him
• 18:16
  the touches he is that guy he is that guy let him open up the passing lanes.
• 18:22
  I'm 100% with you they also have the Zach Charbonnet cat who's been pretty good too
• 18:27
  you know he had five carries for 53 yards so they have that big threat ability at the
• 18:32
  run yeah they have that and it's not even like a thunder and lightning it's a lightning
• 18:36
  lightning right these cats are quick they can get in the open field and they're hard
• 18:40
  to get down so I think they need to focus more in that part of the game as well especially
• 18:45
  with Gino's decision-making being as questionable as it is.
• 18:49
  And this is something I just saw that I didn't notice.
• 18:53
  DK had 14 targets that game five receptions but 14 targets Lockett had nine Jackson Smith
• 19:03
  Negma had four but I guess what I'm trying to say is like maybe he's maybe T I mean if
• 19:11
  you're playing the Seahawks you already know DK is going to be an issue right you're already
• 19:14
  going to key on him a little bit but now that he's I mean 14 targets you're you got to be
• 19:20
  staring him down.
• 19:22
  Yeah and I mean even at that it's at 14 targets you have to have at least eight catches.
• 19:27
  Yeah right well or unless the throws are that bad.
• 19:31
  But if the throws are that bad.
• 19:32
  And DK's catch radius is be crazy.
• 19:34
  That's if they have 14 targets.
• 19:36
  Yeah right.
• 19:37
  That's you have to have more than five catches on that many targets.
• 19:40
  You're a receiver of his threat.
• 19:43
  Now I mean I just actually traded Kenneth Walker and DK Metcalfe in one of my fantasy
• 19:47
  leagues as a so him with Kyle Pitts for Patrick Mahomes Damien Pierce and Sam Laporta.
• 19:54
  Laporta.
• 19:55
  I'm hoping that the Seahawks don't do great.
• 19:59
  And then neither it's funny funny little quick story was neither one of us knew that we actually
• 20:03
  were playing each other this week.
• 20:04
  So you made that trade and now we're playing each other this week.
• 20:09
  That's actually hilarious.
• 20:10
  Yeah.
• 20:11
  But back to what actually matters here in the podcast.
• 20:14
  So yeah the Seahawks came on top it's kind of a sloppy game on both sides.
• 20:17
  You know two interceptions on each quarterback.
• 20:20
  Both quarterbacks fumbled once with P.J.
• 20:21
  Walker losing one of them.
• 20:23
  Gino recovered his.
• 20:26
  He didn't recover his it was recovered by the Seahawks.
• 20:29
  What do you think of P.J.
• 20:30
  Walker real quick.
• 20:31
  I don't know man.
• 20:32
  He's a it's a tough tough to judge because he's so new into the system.
• 20:36
  He's very inexperienced at the NFL level.
• 20:38
  He shows talent.
• 20:39
  He shows the potential but he's nothing more than a career backup to me.
• 20:44
  Does he deserve a spot on a 53.
• 20:47
  Absolutely.
• 20:48
  He's a better backup than shit.
• 20:49
  I'd take him as a starter over Jordan Love right now to be 100 percent honest with you.
• 20:53
  But it's I mean it's the Sean's team when he gets back.
• 20:56
  He's making all that money.
• 20:57
  No doubt.
• 20:58
  And right now any big play that really happened this weekend Amari Cooper was bailing him
• 21:03
  out.
• 21:04
  I mean Amari Cooper was the way Amari can move his body in midair is insane.
• 21:09
  So I just there's one play playing over and over in my head from this weekend and like
• 21:14
  it's just he kept he kept bailing bailing him out and no joke as well.
• 21:18
  They didn't really cover in the joke.
• 21:19
  Well but he only had the one play.
• 21:22
  He had the one big play for him.
• 21:23
  They didn't cover him at all on that play wide open.
• 21:25
  He was wide open.
• 21:26
  But I mean he had four catches on eight targets.
• 21:28
  Yeah.
• 21:29
  So you think a little bit more production out of him too.
• 21:31
  But that see and that's another thing if we're looking at targets Amari Cooper with six
• 21:35
  receptions on 11 targets that's an instance where I saw P.J.
• 21:39
  Walker make a lot of bad throws.
• 21:41
  Yeah.
• 21:42
  Just straight bad throws and nobody's catching that.
• 21:44
  Yeah most definitely most definitely.
• 21:46
  But yes Seahawks came out on top.
• 21:48
  They're five and two.
• 21:49
  They're in charge of that NFC West division.
• 21:53
  Browns going to four and three on the year still very much in that AFC North division.
• 21:56
  Very competitive AFC North.
• 21:58
  Very very competitive North this year.
• 22:00
  But let's move on.
• 22:02
  Next we have the Eagles going down to the nation's capital and taking on the commanders.
• 22:07
  This is a game that the Eagles should have just dog walk the commanders.
• 22:10
  The commanders are not a good football team.
• 22:12
  They made Sam Howell look like he more than belonged in this league.
• 22:16
  They won the game coming out on top at 38 to 31.
• 22:19
  But with this Eagles defense is what they what they were supposed to be coming into
• 22:23
  this year with their their front seven as what it was setting the NFL sack record next
• 22:27
  year.
• 22:28
  They had one sack on this catford for one sack and he really was not under pressure
• 22:33
  at all during the game.
• 22:34
  To be honest with you I thought the commander is going to come out on top this game.
• 22:37
  They should have.
• 22:38
  They really should have.
• 22:39
  Hurts played good.
• 22:41
  Hurts finally played good.
• 22:42
  But if Hurts didn't have AJ Brown if this team did not have AJ Brown right now they
• 22:46
  would be in shambles on offense.
• 22:48
  They would be in trouble.
• 22:49
  I agree 100 percent.
• 22:50
  It catches this guy makes and there's one that is going to be the catch of the year
• 22:53
  hard to beat with that one hand or that he was in this left hand pulled it down on the
• 22:58
  side as he was basically toe tapping in the end zone.
• 23:00
  Just absolutely spectacular catch.
• 23:03
  I don't know.
• 23:04
  I don't know what to say about this Eagles team.
• 23:05
  They're winning games.
• 23:06
  They're seven and one.
• 23:07
  They have the best record in the league.
• 23:09
  But what are they?
• 23:12
  I don't know if they know.
• 23:13
  I think that defense just needs to continue to gain more experience.
• 23:17
  I agree with you 100 percent.
• 23:18
  They should have your quote dog walked Washington this week and then they didn't.
• 23:24
  They let him stay in the game and then the fourth quarter was crazy.
• 23:28
  What the hell?
• 23:29
  I don't understand what's going on.
• 23:31
  I want to say it's just experience together as a unit is what they need.
• 23:36
  But like you said they're still seven and one.
• 23:39
  They're still figuring it out.
• 23:41
  Gosh I really want to disagree with you so hard on something to start something up.
• 23:48
  But you're right.
• 23:49
  And without AJ Brown they probably lose that game this weekend for sure.
• 23:56
  Oh absolutely.
• 23:57
  I mean just to touch on AJ Brown and his dominance as well.
• 24:00
  I don't remember exactly how many games.
• 24:02
  It's six or seven maybe even eight games now with over like consecutively with over 125
• 24:06
  yards setting the record there.
• 24:08
  That is just incredible.
• 24:10
  Just incredible.
• 24:11
  How many games?
• 24:12
  It's like it's six or it's six seven or eight.
• 24:14
  In a row?
• 24:15
  With 125 yards in a row.
• 24:17
  Oh my God.
• 24:18
  Like just stupid numbers this guy's putting up.
• 24:21
  He's just a freak of nature.
• 24:23
  So just like what do you think you're going to throw to?
• 24:25
  You know what's crazy about that?
• 24:26
  You know what's crazy about that Smelty?
• 24:28
  Him and DK Metcalf both second round picks in the same draft.
• 24:31
  Every single team could have drafted either one of them.
• 24:35
  Titans just giving away everything right now.
• 24:37
  Oh bro the Titans are not firefighting.
• 24:38
  I'm so glad he's not on that Titans team though.
• 24:41
  Yeah oh no 100%.
• 24:42
  No this was a great move for his career and dare you say like one's mentality.
• 24:48
  Like just like you're a part of a franchise that as the Titans I'm talking about like
• 24:54
  flirting with the playoffs but can't really get over that hump.
• 25:00
  And now you go to arguably one of the best teams in the NFL.
• 25:05
  One of the teams that have the most momentum in the NFL and I'm talking like season to
• 25:09
  season right now having the momentum coming into the season knowing who you are as a team
• 25:13
  already and continuing that on and now you see it there's seven and one but yeah what
• 25:19
  a career move for him.
• 25:21
  Lucky.
• 25:22
  Just think right now Smelty what would he be doing in Tennessee?
• 25:25
  His big ass will be run blocking for Derrick Henry.
• 25:29
  And they were even taking calls for Derrick Henry you know so like I know that's how they
• 25:35
  would be using him right now.
• 25:38
  But enough of kind of.
• 25:41
  But one thing you did mention right when you came into this game you said the Eagles defense
• 25:46
  made Sam Howell look like he belonged in the NFL.
• 25:49
  Are you saying you do not think Sam Howell belongs in the NFL?
• 25:53
  I guess I sort of maybe got a little bit in the moment there.
• 25:56
  He definitely belongs in the NFL.
• 25:57
  I think he's a starting quarterback in the NFL.
• 25:59
  Again I'd take him over Jordan Love right now.
• 26:01
  I really would.
• 26:02
  Dude Sam Howell with Christian Watson would be interesting.
• 26:05
  We'll see what happens.
• 26:06
  I mean he's had a couple good games this year.
• 26:08
  He's had a couple shaky games this year.
• 26:10
  So as you would expect out of a second year player I think he's proved he's an NFL quarterback.
• 26:17
  You know he's going to be in the league a long time whether that be in a starting capacity.
• 26:20
  Definitely need to see more consistency.
• 26:23
  They have all the weapons on offense.
• 26:24
  They don't have a great line.
• 26:26
  That's why that's what surprises me about the one sec is going into the game the commanders
• 26:31
  have the worst rated pass protection in the league.
• 26:35
  And you have all those dogs.
• 26:37
  Dogs.
• 26:38
  Dogs.
• 26:39
  Dogs.
• 26:40
  On defense for Philly.
• 26:41
  Yeah and I mean Jalen Carter got hurt.
• 26:43
  I don't even know if he actually played this game but he got hurt in the game.
• 26:45
  If he did I'm not.
• 26:47
  But that's that I don't know.
• 26:49
  I don't know.
• 26:50
  That's an interesting one man.
• 26:51
  But we'll see what happens with the Eagles.
• 26:53
  They got a big game this week which we'll get into later.
• 26:56
  But let's move on.
• 26:57
  So to round out the five games this week we didn't have a big game that really had a lot
• 27:02
  of impact to round out the fifth game here.
• 27:04
  So the game we did choose was the Panthers Texans.
• 27:07
  We had the Panthers getting their first win of the year going down to Houston and beating
• 27:11
  the Texans 15 to 13.
• 27:13
  Biggest reason we took it we had the two highly touted quarterbacks coming into the draft
• 27:17
  this year CJ Stroud Bryce Young going you know the first and I think it was third overall
• 27:21
  pick but it doesn't matter because the Texans had second or third.
• 27:24
  He would have been a second or third overall you know.
• 27:27
  Doesn't matter.
• 27:28
  Yeah.
• 27:29
  But that was the the headlines going in.
• 27:32
  So let's talk about that then.
• 27:33
  Like who do you think has performed the best this season to this point.
• 27:38
  Who would you have on your Packers like if they would have had first pick overall last
• 27:43
  year knowing what you know at this point in the season who would you rather have on your
• 27:47
  squad.
• 27:48
  There's nobody that would not say CJ Stroud at this point.
• 27:51
  This is the only game this year that Bryce Young has looked actually decent.
• 27:55
  And I mean I say decent he was 22 at 31 for 235 in a touchdown.
• 27:59
  Doesn't blow your socks off with his numbers.
• 28:01
  But CJ Stroud looked damn good this year.
• 28:03
  Not in this game didn't look great.
• 28:05
  You know 16 to 24 140 didn't throw any touchdowns.
• 28:10
  But it's CJ Stroud looks very very good this year.
• 28:13
  No and I agree 100 percent with you.
• 28:14
  He looks more complete more NFL ready.
• 28:18
  Why do you think what do you think the deal is with Bryce.
• 28:21
  Do you think he's not quite.
• 28:25
  I don't know what I'm trying to say I guess.
• 28:27
  Do you think he's not quite graduated to the NFL level of play like the speed of the game
• 28:31
  or how fast he needs to make his decision.
• 28:35
  I don't know like he still looks like the same old Bryce Young to me because I watch
• 28:39
  a lot of college football and like he was a beast at Alabama and all that jazz.
• 28:44
  But I don't understand what's going on is his height starting to play a factor.
• 28:51
  But you see guys like Kyla Murray you know he can still ball out now he's got his issues
• 28:55
  the past year or two.
• 28:57
  But like the height thing I think has taken way out of proportion nowadays especially
• 29:00
  because you look at one of the best passers the best quarterbacks of our generation Drew
• 29:04
  Brees and he's the same height.
• 29:05
  Right.
• 29:06
  Right.
• 29:07
  Yeah you have Kyla with his his bill a lot different ability than Bryce.
• 29:10
  But to answer your question I mean it's coming into the draft I thought that Stroud was going
• 29:15
  to be the best NFL quarterback Anthony Richardson had the most upside.
• 29:20
  Bryce Young is the best.
• 29:23
  Put him in.
• 29:24
  He's going to play.
• 29:25
  He's never going to be a great quarterback.
• 29:27
  He's never going to be a bad quarterback.
• 29:28
  He's going to be a very median quarterback.
• 29:30
  You know he's going to have an Alex Smith Ryan Tannehill type of career where CJ Stroud
• 29:36
  I could see actually excelling to be a top five top seven quarterback in the league with
• 29:40
  his just with his style of play.
• 29:41
  He has the NFL body.
• 29:43
  He has the arm strength the arm speed.
• 29:44
  Well it's the personality of CJ Stroud too and I'm not hating on the personality of
• 29:48
  Bryce Young.
• 29:49
  I think he's got a great personality too.
• 29:50
  But CJ Stroud is definitely a leader.
• 29:52
  I mean you can you can tell by all these interviews and blah blah blah that you know his teammates
• 29:58
  are kind of taking them in you know there in Houston and they're really liking what
• 30:02
  he's doing.
• 30:03
  They're jiving with it and you're starting to see it on the field.
• 30:06
  Yeah most definitely.
• 30:07
  Most definitely.
• 30:08
  And I mean in terms of talent between the two I would say their talent is pretty similar
• 30:11
  to be honest with you.
• 30:12
  The Panthers haven't had Miles Sanders in quite a long time but the the Houston's don't have
• 30:18
  any resemblance of a run game.
• 30:20
  I'm not necessarily excited to replace Kenneth Gaines.
• 30:23
  Sorry Kenneth Walker.
• 30:26
  Why can't I think of that?
• 30:27
  I mean they have K9 with Damian Pierce for fantasy reasons but I mean they don't have
• 30:32
  a top tier receiver detections in order the Panthers.
• 30:35
  No Adam Thielen looks rejuvenated in his late years in his career.
• 30:38
  Hey shout out Adam Thielen.
• 30:40
  He's proven the Vikings wrong.
• 30:42
  Now don't get me wrong Vikings had to make their move because of just straight money
• 30:45
  wise and what he was about to make for him.
• 30:47
  But he's proven people he can still run routes in this league straight up.
• 30:50
  That's what I was saying man.
• 30:52
  Yeah.
• 30:53
  He's proven he's still but he's not a you know he's not a.
• 30:55
  No.
• 30:56
  Top 10 receiver in the league.
• 30:57
  Not what he was at his prime I would say in Minnesota but he's not.
• 31:01
  He's proven to people he can still show up in the league and I think it's great for Bryce
• 31:05
  to have a guy like that.
• 31:07
  You know he's kind of his safety blanket already you know in a way like oh where's somebody
• 31:11
  oh there's Adam I'll just huck it over there.
• 31:13
  But so it's good it's good to see him I guess thriving I mean in a way.
• 31:18
  Yeah same.
• 31:19
  I thought it would be worse off for him.
• 31:21
  I really did.
• 31:22
  Rookie quarterback.
• 31:24
  Not a good team.
• 31:25
  I figured it would be the end of his career at maybe at the end of this season like you
• 31:30
  know what maybe I'm just done and then not based on his ability just based on like who's
• 31:35
  going to want.
• 31:36
  Yeah I don't know.
• 31:37
  I don't know.
• 31:38
  I thought I was going to go a lot worse than it did but it's good to see him doing well.
• 31:41
  I'm 100 percent with you.
• 31:42
  I did not think he was going to go here and rejuvenate his career and he's looked great.
• 31:47
  I've always been a big feeling guy even as a Packers fan and he was kind of just decimated
• 31:51
  my team and a lot of times.
• 31:53
  But I've always been a big feeling guy.
• 31:54
  Like he's just a stand up guy.
• 31:57
  He's a hard worker.
• 31:59
  You know he's a white receiver.
• 32:01
  You don't see that a lot.
• 32:03
  You just had to throw that in there.
• 32:04
  Got to throw that in there but it's nice to see like just you know one of those.
• 32:08
  He's a homegrown kid here from the Minnesota area.
• 32:11
  Mankato.
• 32:12
  Yeah so he still does his charity here in Minnesota and all that.
• 32:15
  So yeah no it's just good to see.
• 32:18
  It really is.
• 32:19
  It really is.
• 32:20
  Well that recaps last week man in terms of the slate.
• 32:22
  Now we're going to pitch it over to Tent Talk.
• 32:25
  Alright well that's enough about the week 8 slate.
• 32:29
  Let's start talking about that Tent Talk sir.
• 32:31
  We had some quarterback injuries.
• 32:33
  Four total quarterbacks went down.
• 32:35
  Four starters went down.
• 32:36
  Left the game.
• 32:37
  The first one good old Kirk O'Chains.
• 32:41
  Torn Achilles brother.
• 32:44
  Yeah and I mean we won't touch on it too much more because we already touched on it.
• 32:48
  Just sucks.
• 32:49
  Just sucks.
• 32:51
  But he did have successful surgery this morning in Eagan Minnesota.
• 32:55
  So he's good to go on the mend and I do expect him on the sideline.
• 32:59
  Funny thing real quick.
• 33:01
  Actually I saw somebody wondering.
• 33:02
  Gosh I can't remember if this was during the game or what.
• 33:05
  Or if this was like somebody here locally but somebody said they're wondering if Kirk's
• 33:11
  going to wear a helmet on the sideline so he can hear the play calls like he did in
• 33:15
  preseason.
• 33:16
  He even wore his jersey dude.
• 33:19
  And he was wearing the helmet.
• 33:20
  Dude it's the most Kirk thing ever and it's awesome and I love it because he loves the
• 33:24
  game.
• 33:25
  He loves the game just like we do.
• 33:26
  That's why we're doing this.
• 33:28
  But I'm interested to see if Kirk's in a helmet to hear play calls.
• 33:33
  Yo if Kirk shows up to a game in a fucking helmet on the sideline just so we can hear
• 33:38
  the play calls I'm going to just lose it.
• 33:40
  He should go to the Hall of Fame for that bro.
• 33:42
  The corniest dude to ever play football.
• 33:45
  It's awesome.
• 33:46
  It's awesome.
• 33:47
  That is hilarious.
• 33:48
  Alright so next we had Matt Stafford down in LA.
• 33:54
  Went out with a thumb injury.
• 33:55
  There's questions on when he did it.
• 33:57
  Some are saying it was on the two point conversion that he actually caught a pass on.
• 34:01
  He also came on came on somebody's helmet after a throw but he's currently day to day.
• 34:07
  Yeah the main issue is the UCL in the thumb there.
• 34:12
  He did not practice today.
• 34:14
  Today being we are recording this on Wednesday.
• 34:17
  What day is it Kev?
• 34:19
  The first of November.
• 34:20
  First day of November we're recording this so he did not practice this morning.
• 34:26
  He is slated to play the Packers this weekend.
• 34:30
  I don't know.
• 34:31
  We'll see.
• 34:32
  Day to day.
• 34:33
  That means guess what?
• 34:34
  He's day to day.
• 34:35
  I guess we'll see.
• 34:36
  Yeah that's going to be interesting.
• 34:37
  The Rams aren't really worth anything doing anything this week.
• 34:40
  And Stenson Bennett is not on the team right now.
• 34:43
  He's away.
• 34:45
  So that's going to be interesting.
• 34:46
  Why is Stenson Bennett away?
• 34:48
  I don't remember exactly.
• 34:50
  Personal thing?
• 34:51
  Yeah I think it was something.
• 34:52
  I don't remember exactly if it's a non football injury or just personal or something like
• 34:56
  that but let's move on from there.
• 34:59
  Now we have Kenny Pickett from the Steelers went down with a rib injury went out.
• 35:03
  Mitch Hrabisky came in.
• 35:05
  Steelers ended up getting the dub in that game still.
• 35:08
  As of today actually Kenny Pickett came out and said he's playing.
• 35:11
  He's good to go for Thursday.
• 35:13
  He said that himself?
• 35:14
  He said it himself.
• 35:15
  Mike Tomlin said anything?
• 35:17
  Literally anyone else said anything about that?
• 35:18
  Mike Tomlin ain't going to say a damn thing until he's forced to say something.
• 35:21
  That's how Tomlin works.
• 35:22
  But yeah Pickett I don't know.
• 35:25
  It looked pretty bad.
• 35:26
  He was in a lot of pain.
• 35:28
  So we'll see what happens.
• 35:29
  I don't really think that game offense or the outcome of the game changes much between
• 35:33
  Hrabisky or Pickett.
• 35:35
  Matt Canada is the issue not the quarterback that's at the helm.
• 35:38
  Who are they playing again this week?
• 35:40
  I can't remember if that's on my head but take this with a grain of salt.
• 35:48
  This is from Steeler Nation on what is it called X?
• 35:54
  I'm going to keep bringing it up.
• 35:55
  I'm going to call it Twitter.
• 35:56
  I don't care.
• 35:58
  But Steeler Nation says that Kenny Pickett has no injury designation and will in all
• 36:04
  caps start on Thursday Night Football.
• 36:07
  And you said against the Titans.
• 36:09
  So I'm going to go ahead and agree with you there.
• 36:11
  I don't think it would make a huge difference.
• 36:13
  I do think Pickett's a little better quarterback than Hrabisky.
• 36:16
  However I do think maybe Hrabisky gets a shot at some point to start one more time in his
• 36:21
  career.
• 36:22
  I don't know when or where.
• 36:23
  I don't know.
• 36:24
  Keep an eye on that I guess.
• 36:26
  Yeah it's worth keeping an eye on.
• 36:29
  I really don't think it's going to matter.
• 36:31
  Matt Canada needs to get fired.
• 36:33
  That's the other team has so much talent on offense and they're just so fucking beautiful.
• 36:39
  Yeah no it's atrocious.
• 36:40
  I don't understand what's going on.
• 36:43
  Like you alluded to already in another episode already.
• 36:47
  Like Matt Canada's got to go.
• 36:49
  And what was it?
• 36:50
  Boswell?
• 36:51
  The kicker Boswell after one of the games?
• 36:53
  They won and Matt Canada came up and congratulated Tomlin as they're walking in the tunnel.
• 36:59
  And Boswell said it's not because of you.
• 37:01
  But then he came out later and said that that's not what that was about.
• 37:05
  But that's got to be a PR move.
• 37:06
  That's exactly what that was about.
• 37:08
  Because he came up and Tomlin and him were congratulating whatever in the tunnel as they're
• 37:11
  walking into the locker room.
• 37:12
  And I swear it was Boswell.
• 37:14
  He's still the kicker there right?
• 37:15
  I swear it was him.
• 37:16
  But it's not because of you.
• 37:18
  Oh man I was geeking at that video bro.
• 37:21
  Yo that's hilarious.
• 37:24
  Because that's got to be what he's talking about.
• 37:25
  It has to be.
• 37:26
  What else are you talking about?
• 37:27
  It has to be.
• 37:28
  You can't come out and say later oh that's it's unrelated to that or whatever he said.
• 37:32
  That's whatever bro.
• 37:33
  Yeah that's wild.
• 37:34
  But that wraps up the quarterback injuries.
• 37:37
  That's actually not true.
• 37:39
  We have one more to talk about.
• 37:40
  That's Mr. Tyrod Taylor.
• 37:42
  Quarterbacks are dropping like flies in New York apparently.
• 37:45
  We had Danny Jones.
• 37:47
  Tyrod Taylor.
• 37:49
  Aaron Rodgers.
• 37:51
  What's going on in New York bro?
• 37:52
  It's a weird bro.
• 37:54
  It's just a curse bro.
• 37:56
  It's a curse of the stadium.
• 37:58
  Curse of the field.
• 38:00
  If you're a quarterback don't go play in New York I guess.
• 38:03
  I don't know.
• 38:04
  If you want to you can probably try to take Josh Allen's job.
• 38:06
  It's going to be tough.
• 38:08
  But technically it's New York State.
• 38:10
  But as close as you're going to get.
• 38:13
  I think you're a lot better off risking your odds and injuries in New York City than trying
• 38:17
  to take his job up in Buffalo.
• 38:19
  Tyrod Taylor out this week.
• 38:23
  I don't even know who they're going to start.
• 38:26
  Probably Tommy DeVito huh?
• 38:27
  Tommy DeVito is set to start.
• 38:29
  He's set to start?
• 38:30
  Danny's little nephew.
• 38:31
  Danny's little nephew.
• 38:34
  Look at us cracking up.
• 38:36
  Do you think Carson Wentz goes to the Giants at all?
• 38:40
  I don't know man.
• 38:41
  Do you think they take him rich?
• 38:42
  That's the last thing I want.
• 38:43
  I know bro.
• 38:44
  That's why I just threw it out there real quick to throw you off base because I know
• 38:48
  we didn't talk about it at all.
• 38:49
  The man made a fucking glass because he has no regard for the human body.
• 38:55
  That guy.
• 38:56
  Put him in New York where the quarterbacks are just getting injured.
• 38:59
  That would be so funny.
• 39:00
  Oh man.
• 39:01
  Alright brother well that's enough of the quarterback injuries from last week.
• 39:04
  We had the trade deadline come and go.
• 39:06
  We had some big trades.
• 39:07
  We're going to touch on a couple here.
• 39:09
  So before the deadline about a week ago we did have Kevin Byard go to the Eagles for
• 39:14
  Terrell Edmonds a fifth and a sixth rounder.
• 39:18
  Yeah I don't really have any comment on that.
• 39:24
  Just swapping fellows.
• 39:25
  Yeah I mean Kevin Byard's a player.
• 39:26
  He's a baller.
• 39:27
  You're getting a perennial pro bowler in that secondary when we've talked about the Eagles
• 39:34
  defense the secondary is their biggest issue.
• 39:36
  Outside of Darius Slay they don't have anybody back there so I think once he gets into that
• 39:41
  system he's going to bring a lot on the field but also the presence back there the experience
• 39:45
  back there what he's going to bring to the locker room.
• 39:47
  I think that's going to play dividends in the late season going into the playoffs and
• 39:50
  I think that's going to be a huge move.
• 39:51
  Well and like we mentioned earlier they just got to keep playing together as a group.
• 39:55
  Now you got Byard in there.
• 39:57
  See what happens these next few weeks but you got to get on a roll defensively because
• 40:02
  what you showed against Washington ain't it.
• 40:04
  That's not going to win you a Super Bowl.
• 40:06
  That sure as shit is not.
• 40:08
  So then we had the trade deadline kind of get started with the first wave of moves here
• 40:12
  with Leonard Williams going to the Seahawks for a second and fifth rounder.
• 40:17
  That's a big move man.
• 40:18
  Leonard Williams is a player.
• 40:20
  Yeah no doubt Leonard Williams is a player.
• 40:22
  Like in your terms he's a dog.
• 40:25
  Why is he worth more to the Seahawks or why did they give up more draft capital to obtain
• 40:31
  him than say like what we'll touch on in a little bit as the Bears did for Montez or
• 40:36
  the Niners did for Chase Young.
• 40:38
  Like what is so appealing.
• 40:40
  What is he really bringing the Seahawks.
• 40:42
  I'd say experience and it's a little bit different position.
• 40:45
  He's an inline 3-4 DN.
• 40:47
  He's not an edge rusher per se.
• 40:49
  So he's going to fill a different role for the Seahawks as what the edge rushers are
• 40:52
  that you just mentioned there with Young and Montez-Swed.
• 40:54
  Is he going to be an edge rusher for the Seahawks?
• 40:56
  Oh sorry I thought you were saying that he was about to be.
• 40:59
  No no.
• 41:00
  It's a different position I would say.
• 41:03
  Not that an edge rusher is less valuable per se but I would say Leonard Williams is a lot
• 41:06
  more proven commodity than a Montez-Swed or Chase Young.
• 41:10
  They're both younger.
• 41:11
  They have more upside or potential per se with longer careers ahead of them.
• 41:15
  But Leonard Williams is he's always been one of the more underrated interior D linemen
• 41:19
  in the league in my opinion.
• 41:20
  So I think the Seahawks are getting a big win here.
• 41:24
  So then that leads us right into Washington getting rid of their two young studs on their
• 41:28
  D line.
• 41:29
  Montez-Swed to the Bears for a second rounder.
• 41:32
  Chase Young to the Niners for a conditional second rounder.
• 41:36
  So the winner in this to me is the Commanders because I believe they were both on the last
• 41:43
  year of their deals if they weren't.
• 41:46
  So you got to get some form right.
• 41:48
  You know you're not really battling as much as you thought you were.
• 41:51
  You almost pulled it off against the Eagles but you're not really in the mix as much as
• 41:55
  you were hoping you would be.
• 41:57
  Boom.
• 41:58
  Get what you can form second rounders.
• 41:59
  I think that's fair.
• 42:03
  But what the hell are the Bears doing dude?
• 42:05
  Like I don't think that's the move they needed to make.
• 42:07
  Yeah they needed help.
• 42:08
  They need help.
• 42:10
  No doubt.
• 42:11
  And you got to start at some point.
• 42:12
  But I feel like they just need so much that like Montez-Swed I mean they must have plans
• 42:17
  for the future because they didn't Montez end up signing a four year deal.
• 42:22
  I thought he did after he got traded.
• 42:24
  There was talk some extension but I think this is the perfect move the Bears can make
• 42:27
  at the deadline to be completely honest with you.
• 42:28
  I would wholeheartedly disagree.
• 42:30
  I think Montez-Swed is a young stud.
• 42:32
  He's the only player in the league that's had more than five sacks.
• 42:35
  Well not the only players that's had five sacks but from the year he was drafted to
• 42:39
  where he's at now which is the third or fourth year is the only player to have five sacks
• 42:42
  every year.
• 42:43
  He's consistent as an edge rusher.
• 42:45
  He's consistent in the run game.
• 42:46
  The Bears have absolutely nothing on their D line.
• 42:49
  They have to have a young foundational stud.
• 42:51
  They have the cap space to sign him.
• 42:54
  So I think are you going to find a person that's more of a fix right now to help anchor
• 42:59
  this defense in a second round or next year's draft?
• 43:03
  No.
• 43:04
  Not right now.
• 43:05
  So I think it was a great move by the Bears.
• 43:07
  If they can re-sign him.
• 43:08
  They're going to re-sign him.
• 43:09
  I mean you don't make that move before you're not going to throw a whole lot of money at
• 43:12
  him.
• 43:13
  Right.
• 43:14
  And I mean Montez-Swed's not really in a position right now where he's going to like go chase
• 43:16
  and go battle in free agency.
• 43:18
  Go find a bag.
• 43:19
  Has a sure thing.
• 43:20
  Sure.
• 43:21
  You know the Bears are going to give him a bag.
• 43:22
  Right.
• 43:23
  Yeah.
• 43:24
  And that had to have already been talked about you would think.
• 43:26
  Well I mean it doesn't matter because it's not like he has any sway in trade because
• 43:30
  he's got a rookie contract.
• 43:31
  No.
• 43:32
  No.
• 43:33
  But like if you're trading for a guy you would hope you want to get him on your good graces
• 43:36
  a little bit.
• 43:37
  Well that's part of that as well.
• 43:39
  He's not going to you know you're not going to give up a second rounder for a one year
• 43:41
  rental when you have no chance of actually contending.
• 43:44
  Right.
• 43:45
  So there's got to be something in the works.
• 43:47
  Yeah.
• 43:48
  Most definitely.
• 43:49
  But right.
• 43:50
  No I mean on your point like giving up a second rounder for a player who you know what you're
• 43:52
  getting and obviously in the draft you never know what you're getting.
• 43:56
  You could have a first round bus.
• 43:57
  You know you're never going to know.
• 43:59
  So I get what you're saying.
• 44:02
  I still think it's wild to do it.
• 44:05
  Now if they sign him to like if they do sign him to like a four year deal or something.
• 44:10
  All right.
• 44:11
  Then it's a good move because now you have somebody to build around on defense.
• 44:14
  But I guess we'll see.
• 44:16
  Yeah exactly.
• 44:17
  Exactly.
• 44:18
  And then Chase Young to the Niners.
• 44:19
  The Niners defense just needed more talent I guess right.
• 44:22
  Nasty.
• 44:23
  This is more interesting to me because this is to me this is the Niners just putting it
• 44:26
  all in push to win the Super Bowl this year because they're not going to have the draft
• 44:30
  sorry the cap space to resign him to a long deal.
• 44:33
  They have so much money invested in that offense or in that defense already.
• 44:37
  And then you got Debo CMC and Kittle on huge deals going to have to pay Purdy in a couple
• 44:42
  years.
• 44:43
  Maybe.
• 44:44
  Well OK maybe right.
• 44:45
  But nonetheless I mean with everything else that they have already accounted for Fred
• 44:51
  Warner Eric Armstead Nick Bosa Nick Bosa.
• 44:56
  Javon Hargrave.
• 44:57
  Signed already right.
• 44:58
  Nick Bosa signed Javon Hargrave.
• 45:00
  Then you got Trent Williams Debo Kittle CMC.
• 45:04
  You're not going to afford to keep him.
• 45:05
  Or do you get rid of somebody else.
• 45:07
  Why.
• 45:08
  Why would you get rid of any of those proven commodities that are foundational pieces on
• 45:11
  your team for somebody that had a good rookie year and hasn't proven anything since.
• 45:15
  No and I hear you.
• 45:16
  I hear you.
• 45:17
  If Chase has a big rest of the year though take that take this with a grain of salt.
• 45:23
  It's gonna be wild.
• 45:24
  But if Chase has a good rest of the year do you move Debo to sign Chase Young.
• 45:28
  No absolutely not.
• 45:29
  No.
• 45:30
  No.
• 45:31
  Debo is way too valuable to that offense.
• 45:32
  Look how that offense has looked the last two weeks without him.
• 45:35
  No.
• 45:36
  Yeah.
• 45:37
  Yeah.
• 45:38
  He's that Swiss Army knife.
• 45:39
  He's Kyle Shanahan's just utility tool that he can just put anywhere he wants to.
• 45:43
  Like Debo is way more important.
• 45:45
  I mean you look at that front seven how much better do you really need to get.
• 45:48
  How much value does Chase Young really need to bring.
• 45:49
  You don't.
• 45:50
  You don't.
• 45:51
  That's why I was surprised they brought him in.
• 45:52
  But like you said you know it's obviously a rental player to go all in and go for it
• 45:55
  and see what happens.
• 45:56
  This reminds me of the Rams.
• 45:58
  The year they won the Super Bowl they go get the Vaughn Miller.
• 46:00
  They go get the Jalen Ramsey a couple years before.
• 46:02
  They signed the O'Dell Backham.
• 46:04
  You know now granted it's Chase Young it's not a collection of people.
• 46:07
  They picked up Matthew Stavrid who played well that year but you're not really.
• 46:11
  You didn't gain a whole lot from Jared Goff but I'd say you gained a little bit.
• 46:14
  Yeah.
• 46:15
  At that moment in time and he won you a Super Bowl so it worked out.
• 46:18
  But yeah I mean I guess we'll see because Purdy did not look good.
• 46:22
  No he sure did not look good.
• 46:24
  All right so that leads us to Joshua Dobbs getting traded to year Vikings.
• 46:30
  They gave up a seventh rounder and then got a sixth rounder out of it.
• 46:34
  So they got Joshua Dobbs and a seventh rounder for a sixth rounder.
• 46:38
  How do you feel about this man?
• 46:40
  It's an interesting move because I was actually watching the trade deadline for once.
• 46:46
  Like had NFL Network on all that jazz kind of just paying attention.
• 46:53
  Just like any American I was on the phone with a debt collector and we started talking
• 46:57
  about football instead because right at that moment Josh Dobbs got traded to the Vikings
• 47:01
  and I was like what the hell.
• 47:04
  That's a pretty wild move.
• 47:07
  I don't know.
• 47:08
  I don't know.
• 47:09
  I don't think they traded for him to start but I think Jaren Hall gets a start this weekend
• 47:14
  against Atlanta and judging by that game then Dobbs could either start the next week.
• 47:21
  We would see but it's a wild move.
• 47:24
  I honestly expected them as much as I didn't want them to do this.
• 47:28
  I expected them to go after Tannahill which again I did not want.
• 47:33
  I low-key as wild as this is and everybody's like he's such a dumb quarterback like he
• 47:38
  makes dumb decisions.
• 47:39
  He does but he's got a cannon.
• 47:40
  I really wanted the Vikings to go after James Winston low-key.
• 47:44
  That's who I thought they were going to go after and I thought that would actually be
• 47:46
  a really good fit for the plug-in play.
• 47:49
  Get what you need to get done the rest of the year.
• 47:51
  Maybe have a chance in the playoffs.
• 47:53
  And I think KOC likes those big-arm quarterbacks.
• 47:56
  Guys that can stretch the field and when you get JJ back and now Addison you still got
• 48:02
  KJ that can come underneath and TJ.
• 48:04
  I mean it's I don't know.
• 48:06
  I'm curious to see what happens.
• 48:08
  It is not the move I thought they were going to make but they didn't give up a whole lot
• 48:11
  for it.
• 48:12
  I guess we'll see what happens.
• 48:13
  Yeah.
• 48:14
  I think it's something that's going to get you along but I don't understand.
• 48:19
  They didn't give up anything for it either.
• 48:20
  That's what I mean.
• 48:21
  It doesn't hurt you in any really way but it's not like you're going to be a suitable
• 48:26
  contender with Joshua Dodds and the team you had.
• 48:28
  I wouldn't think so.
• 48:29
  I mean but if I'm also in that fence then it's like why chase a 17th to 20th pick when
• 48:34
  you can just settle for an eighth to 12th and get a better draft pick with the quarterback
• 48:38
  that you have on the roster.
• 48:40
  Right right.
• 48:41
  So okay so as a Packer fan what would you do in the Viking situation?
• 48:43
  Would you tank right now?
• 48:44
  As a Packer fan currently in our current situation I hope we do not win any other game this year
• 48:49
  and get the first or second pick so we can get Marvin Harris.
• 48:51
  No no no no no no sure sure.
• 48:53
  I feel you and that's a great pick.
• 48:54
  I'm talking about like if you were in the Vikings shoes at four and four what would you
• 48:59
  do?
• 49:00
  You're two games behind Detroit.
• 49:01
  You have a chance but.
• 49:02
  Don't give up any draft capital although like I said you're not giving up really anything.
• 49:07
  You're trading a seventh for a sixth rounder in that regard or a sixth rounder for a seventh
• 49:10
  round in that regard but it's like I think Joshua Dodds gives you a better chance to
• 49:14
  win than the quarterbacks on your team but winning only does so much when you're not
• 49:20
  going to win a Super Bowl.
• 49:21
  The Vikings do not have a Super Bowl roster with Kirk Cousins on their team.
• 49:24
  They don't have a Super Bowl roster.
• 49:26
  They would win the NFC North.
• 49:27
  I think they're a better team than the Lions but they're not going to beat an Eagles or
• 49:32
  Niners in the championship game.
• 49:34
  Okay in October they beat them in October.
• 49:37
  Yeah no I feel you.
• 49:39
  And then they're not going to touch anybody in the AFC in terms of the Chiefs, the Bills,
• 49:43
  the Bengals, the Dolphins.
• 49:44
  They would get dog walked.
• 49:46
  So it's like they're and I'm on the fence of making the playoffs doesn't do shit to
• 49:50
  me.
• 49:51
  Now granted I am very very lucky with the team that I have rooted for my whole life
• 49:56
  where it makes making the playoffs is more or less an expectation.
• 50:01
  So where you don't make the playoffs like to me like it's Super Bowl or bust every year.
• 50:06
  So if we're going to make the playoffs and get a 20 to 25th pick I'd rather lose 12 games
• 50:10
  and get a third to sixth pick.
• 50:13
  Get better capital, get more talent and then give yourself that short little rebuild instead
• 50:18
  of getting that consistently 15th to 22nd pick.
• 50:20
  You're not going to get great talent and you're going to consistently just kind of be in that
• 50:25
  re tooling phase instead of just rebuilding where you can do a quick rebuild.
• 50:30
  Yeah no for sure.
• 50:31
  I hear you there.
• 50:32
  No I was just curious on your take.
• 50:35
  So I'm glad we're different enough on that.
• 50:38
  So I'll just mention real quick one more Viking player that did get traded at the deadline.
• 50:44
  Ezra Cleveland left guard for the Vikings.
• 50:47
  He was a starter for the past couple of years since he came in.
• 50:51
  He's kind of meh.
• 50:52
  So the Vikings trading him to the Jags for six rounders isn't really a big L for the
• 51:00
  Vikes and they got that six rounder back that they gave away for Josh Jobs.
• 51:03
  So I mean it kind of works out in their favor and they're starting Dalton Reisner now at
• 51:08
  left guard who played an outstanding game on Sunday.
• 51:11
  So didn't he play center on Sunday?
• 51:14
  He might have played a little center and they might have played Bradbury.
• 51:16
  I feel like they keep switching them around.
• 51:19
  Reisner's played all over.
• 51:20
  He's such a good utility interior lineman.
• 51:22
  So that's why when they brought him in I was kind of pumped for that which we needed help
• 51:26
  specifically on interior lineman.
• 51:28
  So it was good to see that happen.
• 51:31
  But your boys...
• 51:32
  Yeah you got two studs on the outside with O'Neill and Darasaw.
• 51:34
  They might be.
• 51:35
  You could argue that's the best tackle tandem in the league.
• 51:37
  They might be.
• 51:38
  They might be.
• 51:39
  And that's not even a Homer thing for me to say.
• 51:41
  I'm a Packers fan.
• 51:42
  They might be the best tackle tandem in the league.
• 51:46
  But your boys also got rid of somebody at the deadline.
• 51:50
  Yeah you know the typical Packers fashion.
• 51:52
  Just had to get rid of our most consistent defensive player we've had the last two years.
• 51:56
  She was an all-pro player last year.
• 51:58
  Jair Alexander got torn up by Jordan Addison.
• 52:01
  So why not get rid of our best cover corner we've had this year.
• 52:03
  Rasul Douglas to the Bills.
• 52:05
  Now we got a third rounder.
• 52:06
  I'm very happy with the third rounder for a cornerback that's 30 years old.
• 52:11
  We just signed Rasul last year to a three year deal.
• 52:13
  So we had this year and next year on the remaining.
• 52:17
  So he was due seven mil next year.
• 52:19
  I'm pulling that on my ass.
• 52:21
  That sounds right.
• 52:22
  It was something hefty-ish.
• 52:23
  Yeah you know so it's like I said with the Packers.
• 52:28
  I'm not opposed to being a seller per se at the deadline this year.
• 52:31
  Kind of wish we would have got rid of another piece like a Preston Smith with the cap hit.
• 52:35
  Bakhtiar is impossible to move right now.
• 52:40
  We won't even go back into the Bakhtiar contract.
• 52:43
  Holy shit.
• 52:44
  But no it sucks to see him go because he's a fun player to have on your team and watch.
• 52:50
  But I like getting a third rounder out of it.
• 52:52
  Get some draft capital.
• 52:53
  I just wish we had a GM that could draft good players.
• 52:59
  That would help.
• 53:00
  Yeah that would help build an NFL team typically.
• 53:03
  Yeah that would help.
• 53:06
  But yeah nonetheless so that wraps up the trades.
• 53:09
  So now we're going to get into our newest segment.
• 53:11
  I'm going to turn it over to you Smeltsy.
• 53:13
  It's time for your Bonehead Move of the Week.
• 53:16
  Genius!
• 53:17
  Yeah as Tyler said welcome to Bonehead Move of the Week.
• 53:24
  Basically I'm just kind of picking something that stuck out to me that was like pfft.
• 53:28
  Just makes you go whoa dude what a Bonehead move.
• 53:31
  So that's where we're at.
• 53:32
  Bonehead Move of the Week this week.
• 53:34
  Gotta be Kenneth Gainwell man.
• 53:36
  So fella fumbles the ball right before half.
• 53:41
  Goes into half.
• 53:42
  Decides to take out his phone which who knows maybe many players do.
• 53:47
  Maybe they start playing music get jacked back up.
• 53:50
  I don't know.
• 53:51
  I don't know if there's any rules on that.
• 53:53
  Basically he goes to social media.
• 53:54
  A fan had DM'd him and said basically just said quote hold on to the football.
• 54:01
  That's it.
• 54:02
  He didn't as far as we know there's no expletives.
• 54:04
  He wasn't coming at the guy.
• 54:05
  He just said hold on to the football.
• 54:08
  And Kenneth decides to reply little boy don't text me.
• 54:12
  I think that's freaking hilarious actually.
• 54:15
  But as far as like a Bonehead move dude.
• 54:19
  You know it's not a good look.
• 54:21
  It's not a good look especially at halftime.
• 54:23
  You're still gotta go out there and play another half.
• 54:26
  It's not a good look.
• 54:27
  That is freaking hilarious.
• 54:28
  So this was new to me when you brought it up.
• 54:30
  I had no idea.
• 54:32
  And that just makes me just giggle.
• 54:34
  Like you're gonna respond to somebody at halftime of a game.
• 54:38
  And you're gonna respond for one that foolishness.
• 54:41
  You're gonna let some random fan get to your skin.
• 54:44
  Yeah.
• 54:45
  And like.
• 54:46
  Course these guys probably get hundreds of messages throughout the season dude.
• 54:49
  I'm sure he had.
• 54:50
  Thousands you know.
• 54:51
  Like it's gotta get old.
• 54:52
  And at some point you're gonna get frustrated.
• 54:54
  You just gave up a fumble.
• 54:56
  You feel like you have to clap back.
• 54:58
  But like that's not the move bro.
• 54:59
  No that's not the move.
• 55:01
  That's not the move.
• 55:02
  Yeah and just to wrap up the Bonehead move of the week.
• 55:07
  You know I'm no NFL player but I'd imagine at halftime you gotta stay locked in.
• 55:12
  So if I can make any suggestion.
• 55:15
  Stay locked in man.
• 55:16
  You still got a job to do and that job's playing football unfortunately.
• 55:20
  So whatever you do outside the game.
• 55:22
  Whatever obviously.
• 55:23
  But like game time.
• 55:24
  Be locked in.
• 55:25
  Be locked in.
• 55:27
  Yeah I couldn't agree more man.
• 55:28
  You gotta lock in.
• 55:29
  You gotta play football.
• 55:30
  And you gotta get paid.
• 55:31
  You gotta play for what you get paid to do.
• 55:34
  But that was a great first segment of Bonehead move of the week.
• 55:37
  I'm glad we did it.
• 55:38
  I hope it lives up to the hype the rest of the time.
• 55:42
  Gonna be fun going forward with that one man.
• 55:47
  But let's get into week 9 brother.
• 55:49
  We have one hell of a slate ahead of us.
• 55:51
  It was hard to narrow it down to 5 games.
• 55:53
  Especially with 2 of those games being our shitty teams we do have to watch and root
• 55:57
  for.
• 55:58
  But let's get it started with my crappy team.
• 56:01
  The Packers.
• 56:02
  We have the Rams coming to town.
• 56:04
  Coming into Lambeau.
• 56:05
  The Packers for some reason are 3 point favorites.
• 56:07
  Who do you like in this one?
• 56:09
  Honestly I'm gonna go with your Packers.
• 56:11
  I think if they can get Aaron Jones going at home, it's a wrap.
• 56:17
  Cause the Rams are not good.
• 56:20
  So to say the least without going into too much detail.
• 56:24
  I take the Packers at home.
• 56:26
  Yeah I think they cover.
• 56:28
  Yeah I couldn't agree more man.
• 56:29
  I think the Packers are gonna win this one.
• 56:31
  The Rams just aren't a good football team.
• 56:33
  I think we might actually get Aaron Jones involved.
• 56:35
  He was on a snap count the last 2 weeks so hopefully they take that off.
• 56:39
  So we'll see what happens but I think my Packers are gonna win this and they're gonna cover.
• 56:43
  Let's go on to your Vikings.
• 56:44
  They're going down to Atlanta taking on Artie Smiths Falcons.
• 56:48
  Falcons are a 4.5 point favorite.
• 56:51
  And I think that is because Kirk is down and I'm gonna agree with it.
• 56:57
  I'm gonna pick the Falcons at home over my Vikings.
• 57:00
  That hurts my soul.
• 57:01
  I want the Vikings to win.
• 57:02
  I will be cheering the Vikings to a hopeful win on Sunday.
• 57:05
  But I'm picking the Falcons.
• 57:07
  I think Taylor Heinecke is actually going to light it up.
• 57:11
  I hope I am wrong.
• 57:12
  I agree man.
• 57:13
  I think the Falcons are gonna cover that 4.5.
• 57:16
  They do have a pretty good offense.
• 57:17
  Bijon Robinson is real fun to watch.
• 57:19
  That defense has some studs on it.
• 57:21
  I don't think they're talked about as good as they really are.
• 57:24
  I mean saying that.
• 57:25
  They're not.
• 57:26
  Yeah.
• 57:27
  Well yeah saying that the Titans also tore them to shreds last week with Will Levesse.
• 57:30
  But we'll see.
• 57:31
  We'll see.
• 57:32
  But so we agree the Falcons are gonna cover that 4.5.
• 57:35
  Now we gotta get on to the big games man.
• 57:36
  We got three bangers of games here.
• 57:38
  It starts off in Germany Sunday morning.
• 57:41
  The Dolphins are going to play the Chiefs.
• 57:43
  The Chiefs are a 1.5 point favorite.
• 57:45
  It's almost a toss up.
• 57:46
  It's almost a pick them on this one.
• 57:48
  What are you thinking man?
• 57:49
  Dude this has gotta be banner of the boys game of the week.
• 57:52
  It's gotta be.
• 57:53
  Chiefs Dolphin.
• 57:54
  Dolphins at Chiefs.
• 57:55
  Like it's gotta be.
• 57:56
  So I think officially game of the week here.
• 57:59
  Dolphins at Chiefs.
• 58:00
  Chiefs by 1.5.
• 58:02
  I think Chiefs take the win there.
• 58:03
  I think it's gonna be a really good game though.
• 58:05
  I'm really excited to see it.
• 58:07
  Well that's right.
• 58:08
  I said at home.
• 58:09
  But really it's their home but in Germany.
• 58:11
  So it's gonna be a little different there.
• 58:13
  So maybe more of a neutral site then.
• 58:16
  But I still take Chiefs.
• 58:17
  It doesn't change my pick.
• 58:20
  You gotta find a way to stop Patrick Mahomes.
• 58:24
  I think the Dolphins are gonna win this game.
• 58:26
  Oh here we go.
• 58:27
  Let's go.
• 58:28
  I think the Dolphins are gonna win this game.
• 58:29
  I don't think they're gonna stop Patrick Mahomes.
• 58:31
  Especially with the performance he had last week.
• 58:33
  He's gonna bounce back and he's gonna score for let's say 302 to 4 touchdowns.
• 58:39
  Maybe one on the ground to get there.
• 58:40
  Nah I don't say that because I just traded for him in fantasy.
• 58:44
  Holy shit.
• 58:45
  I love that.
• 58:46
  But no in all seriousness I think Jalen Ramsey coming back on that defense.
• 58:50
  He made an interception last week but that defense just looks a little rejuvenated.
• 58:54
  They have someone back there that truly does care.
• 58:56
  That has the experience.
• 58:57
  He's an absolute dog of a human being.
• 59:00
  And their secondary is decent in general.
• 59:02
  Yeah I don't know if Xavier and Howard's back this week but if he's back that would obviously
• 59:05
  help as well.
• 59:07
  And that Dolphins offense man.
• 59:08
  It's hard to get stopped once they get going.
• 59:11
  And I just don't see anybody on the Chiefs that can just shut down both Hill and Waddle.
• 59:18
  Spagnola's gonna game plan to get one of them shut down.
• 59:20
  Hill probably won't have a great game.
• 59:22
  But they just have so much talent on offense.
• 59:24
  I just don't see him stopping them.
• 59:25
  I was just gonna say Xavier and Howard was limited today.
• 59:29
  So he might have practiced today.
• 59:30
  He's just limited.
• 59:32
  Limited's encouraging to be honest.
• 59:33
  It is encouraging.
• 59:34
  Yeah so if he's on, if he's back too I think it further reinforces my point here.
• 59:39
  But yeah I got the Dolphins winning this one.
• 59:42
  So let's move over to the NFC East.
• 59:43
  One of the oldest rivalries in the game.
• 59:46
  We have the Dallas Cowboys going up to the brotherly love.
• 59:49
  Taking on the Philadelphia Eagles.
• 59:51
  And the spread on this one is just crazy to me.
• 59:54
  But the Eagles are favored by three points here.
• 59:57
  Yeah I would have thought low key it would have been under three in my opinion.
• 1:00:02
  I think this one's kind of more of a toss up.
• 1:00:04
  And like I'm not a big Cowboys fan.
• 1:00:06
  Like I almost despise the Cowboys.
• 1:00:09
  I have a friend over in South Dakota that's a giant Cowboys fan.
• 1:00:12
  And he annoys me with it.
• 1:00:14
  With his Cowboys fandom.
• 1:00:15
  But uh.
• 1:00:16
  Oh dude.
• 1:00:19
  With how the Eagles played last week.
• 1:00:20
  I'm taking the Cowboys over the Eagles in Philly this week.
• 1:00:24
  I think them boys are going to step up.
• 1:00:28
  And if they do.
• 1:00:30
  I think you need to take Dallas seriously this year.
• 1:00:32
  If they win in Philly.
• 1:00:34
  They need to be taken seriously.
• 1:00:35
  I agree.
• 1:00:36
  I think the Cowboys.
• 1:00:37
  I don't know if they're going to necessarily win this game.
• 1:00:39
  I think this is a one or two point game.
• 1:00:43
  But I think the Cowboys are going to cover that three points.
• 1:00:46
  I need to see more out of the Eagles.
• 1:00:48
  They need to go and beat a good team.
• 1:00:50
  This is their biggest test of the year so far.
• 1:00:53
  So I think with the Cowboys offense is buzzing right now.
• 1:00:56
  They actually got Brandon Cooks involved last week.
• 1:00:59
  C.D. Lamb has been very good this year.
• 1:01:01
  And Tony Pollard has looked halfway decent.
• 1:01:03
  So I think that they're going to take advantage of that Philadelphia offense.
• 1:01:07
  Or sorry.
• 1:01:08
  That Philadelphia defense.
• 1:01:09
  And they're going to put up a lot of points.
• 1:01:11
  And I don't think the Cowboys defense is going to stop Philly from scoring 20-25 plus points.
• 1:01:18
  But I think the Cowboys defense is going to come up with a big time turnover that's going
• 1:01:22
  to lead to points that's going to be the deciding factor in the game.
• 1:01:25
  Fair enough.
• 1:01:26
  So then that wraps up here the week 9 slate with the Bills going down to Cincinnati and
• 1:01:31
  taking on the Bengals.
• 1:01:32
  The Bengals are a one and a half point favorite.
• 1:01:34
  Another one that's basically a pick-up.
• 1:01:36
  What do you have here Smeltsy?
• 1:01:39
  This is a must win game for both teams.
• 1:01:42
  Straight up.
• 1:01:43
  I think the Bengals are back.
• 1:01:45
  I think the Bengals will win at home against Josh Allen this week.
• 1:01:50
  However again, this is a must win game for both teams.
• 1:01:53
  With the Bills right behind the Dolphins, right on their heels, making a run.
• 1:01:58
  The Bengals are right in the nick of it in the AFC North.
• 1:02:03
  The Ravens lead right now.
• 1:02:04
  But everybody else, it's a toss up.
• 1:02:07
  Definitely still a chance for an AFC wild card if not the division depending on what
• 1:02:12
  the Ravens decide to do.
• 1:02:13
  So I think the Bengals are ready.
• 1:02:15
  I think they're back.
• 1:02:16
  I think Joey B is back to what he was doing.
• 1:02:19
  I take the Bengals at home and I think they do cover.
• 1:02:22
  I disagree.
• 1:02:23
  I think the Bills win this game.
• 1:02:25
  I would take them as a pick-up.
• 1:02:26
  Or not a pick-up, I'm sorry.
• 1:02:28
  I would take the money line on this one.
• 1:02:30
  I got the Bills.
• 1:02:31
  The offense hasn't looked great, but I think they're going to bounce back and they're going
• 1:02:35
  to put some points up on this Bengals defense.

  I don't think that the Bengals are going to put up a lot of points on the Bills.
• 1:02:43
  I mean the Bills defense is hurting right now.
• 1:02:46
  Hopefully they have some injuries on the front seven coming back.
• 1:02:49
  But I just think that the Bills need this game and this is a game that they're going
• 1:02:52
  to win.
• 1:02:53
  What a slate of games this week.
• 1:02:55
  Seriously.
• 1:02:56
  Crazy, man.
• 1:02:57
  There could have been two or three more games we could have included in here that we haven't
• 1:02:59
  leave out.
• 1:03:00
  Oh, definitely at least one other one.
• 1:03:01
  Yeah, Ravens Seahawks is going to be a good one too.
• 1:03:03
  That's going to be a good game.
• 1:03:04
  But you know, we got to get our vikes and pack some love.
• 1:03:08
  Yeah, we have to talk about them.
• 1:03:09
  Those are the games we're going to talk about the most.
• 1:03:11
  That's what we're most invested in.
• 1:03:13
  But I think we had a good episode here, sir.
• 1:03:15
  I thank you for joining me with our time here tonight.
• 1:03:18
  We're going to see how this works out here.
• 1:03:20
  We'll track this.
• 1:03:21
  We have two games that we disagreed on this week, so we should get some discrepancies
• 1:03:24
  in the scores.
• 1:03:26
  And as always, it was a pleasure to all of our listeners.
