  And the NFL regular season is over, gentlemen. It is done. We don't have to watch the Titans anymore
• 1:04
  until the fall, so that's fine. But moving on, it's the playoffs. Let's get into that. Let's get
• 1:14
  into picks for that. Last week, I ended up going 3-4 out of the straight up picks I had, but then
• 1:22
  I won a Parley that I gave out on the Seahawks game, essentially a Geno Smith Parley that we
• 1:31
  tweeted out, and that ended up winning, which helped me tremendously. So not too bad. I did lose
• 1:37
  my surefire, but we're fine. Not a big deal. Moving on, Chris, how did you do?
• 1:44
  Not good. They went 3-6, I believe. Also lost my surefire. The fucking, the jets, man. Like,
• 1:56
  every time I have a bet that just, not even on the jets, that just involves the jets, it loses.
• 2:03
  I don't know why I kept falling into their trap. I was seduced by them, but thank God,
• 2:11
  don't have to watch them, don't have to watch the Titans anymore. We actually get to watch
• 2:14
  good football teams every Sunday or every week, which is very exciting. I'm pretty
• 2:20
  pumped for the playoffs. It's always fun. So, yeah, ready to rock and roll, as the kids say.
• 2:30
  All right, John, how did you do?
• 2:31
  Wow, Chris, 3-6. Not very good. I went 4-7.
• 2:44
  All right, I see it. Not great with the straight-up bets, but I did hit a 1400 Parley on the
• 2:54
  Browns Ravens game, and I was kind of in the mindset of, okay, I could lose everything,
• 3:02
  and it wouldn't matter. You know what I mean? Yeah, sure. But I didn't. So, I won four more
• 3:11
  bets after that, which made for a pretty good weekend. Hit my surefire pick. Lines minus 2.5
• 3:17
  all day. Yeah, pretty good last week of the regular season. I wish my record really reflected it,
• 3:25
  but I'm ready to go 6-0 this week, if you know what I mean. So, yes, I know what you mean by
• 3:34
  going 6-0. You have to go 6-0. All right, moving on. Talking about the games, there's only six of
• 3:41
  them, so we're just going to talk about them all. We're going to have a pick for each one. I mean,
• 3:45
  it's one out of time. What am I going to do? Watch a game without a bet on it? It's not going to
• 3:52
  happen. All right, first game. Chargers, Texans in Houston, wild card, matchup, Texans at home,
• 4:02
  home dogs by three. You know what? I'll take this one first. So, both of these teams are
• 4:11
  a bit similar to each other, in my opinion. Both of them had a lot of traction at some point in the
• 4:19
  season, and then towards the end, it's just kind of fallen off a little bit. And the way that I see
• 4:26
  this matchup, I think it's the team that's the least injured. And for that reason, I'm taking the
• 4:34
  Chargers minus three here. Texans, I mean, they didn't limp into the playoffs, but I mean, they
• 4:41
  went 10 and 7. I don't know. Your division is so bad. I feel like it should have been an easier
• 4:51
  time for them. And not to mention, you know, they have two or three of their top receivers just out.
• 4:59
  So, it's tough to see the Texans staying competitive in this kind of matchup. I also give the Chargers
• 5:09
  kind of an edge when it comes to coaching. And it honestly kind of feels like the Texans last year,
• 5:16
  like the Texans last year were so hot. And, you know, they were picking two for CJ Stroud. And
• 5:26
  then they ended up winning a playoff game last year. Stopping after that. But I sort of see the
• 5:32
  similar way here with the Chargers. I mean, they got a new coach. He's competent. It seems that
• 5:41
  it seems that they are doing more with less this season in San Diego or Los Angeles.
• 5:50
  So, I mean, that's kind of all I got at the risk of sounding like an idiot. Chris, what do you have?
• 5:57
  I completely agree. I have the Chargers. I got a minus two and a half. I think they're just a better
• 6:06
  football team. I don't think the Texans offense is very good, dare I say, kind of bad. I know they're
• 6:15
  very injured. Like they're basically two of the best receivers. That's, I mean, that happens. But
• 6:22
  they're offensive line. Just not very good. Like just nothing like CJ Stroud, the sophomore slump hit
• 6:28
  big time. They're just not very good. I just don't see them being able to compete. Like, I don't think
• 6:34
  they're kind of keep up. I think the Chargers have really good defense. I think they're going to slow
• 6:38
  them down and they're going to be able to score points. I mean, Vlad Mcconkey is that guy. He is
• 6:46
  awesome. I think they score enough to just kind of, I don't want to say run away with it because I
• 6:53
  don't think the Chargers are all that good, but they're good enough to win this game by a touchdown,
• 7:00
  maybe a little bit less, but definitely enough to cover the two and a half. I like the Chargers.
• 7:05
  I don't know if y'all saw this. Jim Harbaugh remembers his own birth. How do you bet it gets
• 7:16
  a guy like that? Yeah, I can. Chargers minus two and a half all day.
• 7:25
  Sean, clean sweep. I'm debating it, but it's not my pick. I'm debating taking the Chargers
• 7:34
  two and a half, three, whatever it is. Check the Twitter for that one. I did find a stat for
• 7:42
  Jim Harbaugh as a road favorite is 19, seven and one against the spread. And Herbert is seven
• 7:50
  and one against the spread in his last eight as a road favorite. So yeah, check the Twitter for
• 7:56
  that one. But I like the under here under 43 and a half. The Texans have one of the worst
• 8:03
  offenses in the playoffs. They have not scored more than 23 points in their last five games.
• 8:12
  They've got some major red zone issues going five for 15 in the red zone.
• 8:22
  Chargers defense, they're primed. You know, they're getting back in the swing of things.
• 8:26
  They're shutting down teams in the red zone on third down.
• 8:29
  And both these teams, they play at slow pace, which keeps the clock moving. The Chargers like to
• 8:36
  be dominant with time possession with their run game, fewer possessions overall, less scoring
• 8:42
  opportunities. Neither offense has really been lightened it up as of late. You know,
• 8:50
  I think even I think this could just be grinded out ball, grinded out wild card.
• 8:54
  So even if this ends up 23-20, this under cash. So I think this has a this has all the signs of a
• 9:03
  low scoring defensive battle. So I'm going to take the under under 43 and a half.
• 9:10
  Okay, okay. I like that pick. I was debating that one. But then the Chargers look so nice to me.
• 9:17
  All right, next game, Saturday night, AFC North matchup, Steelers at the Ravens.
• 9:27
  Ravens in Baltimore, favored by nine and a half points currently. A big old spread.
• 9:34
  A big old spread. Chris, what do you think about this game?
• 9:37
  These two teams played not that long ago, and I took the under and it burned me. No one's accused
• 9:48
  me of being very smart. So I'm going to run it back. I've taken under 43 and a half.
• 9:53
  Divisional matchup in the playoffs. I mean, this is the third time these two teams have played.
• 9:59
  They know what the other team is going to run. So I think defense will be prepared.
• 10:04
  Ravens past defense has been, dare I say, like really fucking good since week 10,
• 10:13
  when they brought in Dean Pease, Titans legend, shout out. So yeah. And so I think
• 10:21
  they're going to put the clamps on just a Pittsburgh offense, especially a pass offense that has been
• 10:28
  very bad lately. I don't see the Steelers scoring enough points. I think the Ravens, they run Derek
• 10:34
  Henry until they can't anymore. I think they just kind of, they get a lead and they just grind it out.
• 10:41
  Yeah. Under 43 and a half AFC North football. Let's go. Will, what do you take?
• 10:46
  I was also debating the over under. It was just, there's just so many things to think about like
• 10:58
  Ravens are getting real hot towards the end of the regular season, really running the gauntlet there.
• 11:04
  And Steelers have just been losing steam, like the past couple of weeks, they just haven't been the
• 11:10
  same team. So I'm going to ride the under with you Chris under 43 and a half. It just,
• 11:18
  it's tough to see the Steelers putting up much of a fight here, especially against a team that is
• 11:29
  firing on all cylinders. And that's really all you need in the playoffs going in. So
• 11:35
  I can see this pick losing, but it would have to be like 35 to like 10. Like that's,
• 11:49
  that's, that's the score in my mind that I see happening. But it's such a big number. I don't
• 11:55
  want to bet the number either. So I'm taking the under, I'm taking under 43 and a half. John.
• 12:00
  Yeah. I'm going to, I'm going to take the Steelers here plus nine,
• 12:10
  which means I'm more betting on Mike Tomlin for the ability to cover the spread as an underdog,
• 12:17
  especially in divisional matchups. You know, since 2007, he is 38, 14 and two against the
• 12:26
  spread as a dog in AFC North games, including an impressive stat at 13, three and two against
• 12:36
  the spread against the Ravens. I mean, that's just not just that that's not just a trend. That's a
• 12:44
  consistent pattern of keeping games close when it matters. I think, you know, like we, we've discussed
• 12:54
  that Pittsburgh has been losing steam, but I think their defense is built to handle Lamar Jackson.
• 13:03
  Their numbers, they back it up. Jackson's two worst performances this season have come against
• 13:09
  the Steelers. And historically, they've given him more trouble than any other team. Even in their
• 13:15
  week 16 loss, that game was within a touchdown late in the fourth quarter of a thing before things,
• 13:22
  you know, kind of got out of hand. Yeah, they've struggled down the stretch. They've had a brutal
• 13:29
  schedule, tough road games, holding but holding the Bengals to 19 points in week 18. It's clear
• 13:39
  that this defense can still deliver. Baltimore has been rolling. AFC North games tend to stay tight.
• 13:47
  Asking the Ravens to cover nine feels like a lot, but it's not out of the question. I will give you
• 13:54
  that. But against Tomlin, who thrives in these situations, I'm going to go with the Steelers.
• 14:02
  They won't win outright. I expect the white Ravens to move on. But the Steelers, they've got enough
• 14:08
  grit and defensive power to keep it within a touchdown at least. So yeah, if you're betting
• 14:14
  on anything this week, bet on Tomlin's ability to keep it close. Ravens or Steelers plus nine.
• 14:22
  Okay, I like your reasons there. Thank you. I love the defense. Give us the defense. Okay, next
• 14:29
  game, first game on Sunday, Broncos Bills. Broncos beat the shit out of the Chiefs, who were playing
• 14:37
  nobody on the field, pretty much resting everyone. And then the Bills losing against the Patriots
• 14:45
  for the Titans to secure the number one pick. The Bills also not really playing anyone as well.
• 14:52
  But the Bills at home, they're favored by nine. Sean, you take the reins on this one first.
• 14:58
  All right, this this has points written all over it for me. Denver has gone over their total in
• 15:06
  seven or their last 10. Buffalo isn't that far behind seven and two and one in their last 10.
• 15:13
  Both teams are coming in hot. Denver to score 20 plus points in six straight games. Buffalo has hit
• 15:21
  30 and nine of their last 11. Even more impressive, the Bills have topped 40 and three of their last
• 15:29
  five. You know, Josh Allen being a big reason why that over feels like a strong play to me.
• 15:39
  But he's been he's been absolutely lethal out there. You know,
• 15:44
  man, the Broncos defense, they they were once like pretty, pretty good, like against the past,
• 15:54
  but they've been slipping. They're they're giving up, you know, 30 plus points to playoff caliber
• 16:01
  offenses. Non play. I mean, they give up 30 to the Bengals, they give up 30 to the Browns,
• 16:10
  they give up 30 to the Chargers. One of those teams is a playoff team.
• 16:16
  That's a bad sign when you're going to face the Buffalo Bills at the first round of the playoffs.
• 16:24
  You know, on the flip side, though, Denver's offense, you know, they're not.
• 16:30
  Bonix has been sharp, dude. He's been he's I wish I could take back the mean things we were saying
• 16:39
  about him earlier this season. But he is a rookie in a road playoff game. But I think this I think
• 16:47
  he's shown enough to contribute to the Broncos to put some points on the board.
• 16:55
  Especially in Buffalo's defense, they've been they've been looking a little vulnerable these
• 16:59
  last few weeks. But I'm hoping the lights aren't too bright on Bonix. But yeah, this this points
• 17:06
  to all fireworks for me over 47 and a half over 47, whatever. This feels very attainable.
• 17:14
  Take the over. Will, what you got? I wholeheartedly agree with you, Sean.
• 17:20
  At first, first glance, Broncos Bills, Bills are going to beat the shit out of the Broncos.
• 17:27
  And then I thought about it. Then I actually thought about it. Nine points. It's a lot of points.
• 17:32
  It's a playoffs. Broncos are a playoff team. Playoffs. Yes, playoffs.
• 17:41
  So here. I also look to the over. I mean, the Bills have just been unstoppable on offense.
• 17:51
  And the Broncos always seem I seem to find a way to really put up points, whether they win or lose.
• 18:00
  They're they're not losing by much, but they're they're winning by not much either. So
• 18:10
  over 47. That's the play. Keep it simple. It's Sunday. Let's have some fun points. Chris.
• 18:19
  Clayton Sweet over 46 and a half. There we go. The words right in my mouth. I mean, literally
• 18:26
  everything I have written down, both offenses are on fire. Sean Payton will find a way to kind of
• 18:33
  attack a Buffalo defense has been vulnerable. Buffalo scored 30 plus points and nine of the
• 18:38
  last 10 games where the starters have played. So it's literally just everything you guys have said.
• 18:42
  So nothing else to say over 46 and a half. Okay. All right. Next game. Packers Eagles
• 18:52
  afternoon slate. NFC matchup in Philadelphia Eagles sort of white lava hot.
• 19:02
  I think the last game they lost was to the commanders and then before that. Right.
• 19:08
  For that it was that's what hurts. It's got hurt. Yeah. Long time ago. Week 16. Two weeks.
• 19:17
  Yeah. No, no, wait. I mean, I was talking about their lot like a loss they had before that.
• 19:25
  Oh yeah. It's been a while. It's been a while.
• 19:27
  Quite a while.
• 19:31
  Philadelphia favored by four and a half. This one is a is a tough one to pick
• 19:37
  because it's like the Packers have been so good to me this season but the Eagles like I just feel
• 19:42
  like I've counted out the Eagles this entire season and it has bit me and kicked me and
• 19:48
  punched me in the ass each and every time and for that reason I will be taking Eagles minus four
• 19:54
  and a half here. I don't know if Jaylen Hurts is going to play and he's going to play. Yeah. He's
• 20:02
  probably yeah. He's probably going to end up playing the pack that Eagles are just such a
• 20:07
  better team like they're literally going to say one Barkley is going to destroy this this backfield.
• 20:14
  I I don't think I don't think the Packers can can compete. I'm going to be I'm going to be honest.
• 20:23
  I think the Eagles just have everything going for him right now. I'm taking the birds.
• 20:28
  Chris, what do you think? Packers plus four.
• 20:32
  I I think the Eagles are the better team. I just their offense sometimes man is infuriating to watch.
• 20:43
  They have all these weapons and sometimes it's they just can't figure it out.
• 20:49
  I think they'll figure it out enough to win four and a half feels like a lot. This the floor has
• 20:55
  a way in the playoffs of being just right there and just making a dumb mistake to lose by like three.
• 21:04
  And I think there's a good chance we see that again. Both teams love to run the football. So I
• 21:11
  think it's be a lower scoring game. Favors the dog Hurts. I mean he's been in concussion protocol
• 21:17
  two weeks. Maybe a little slow starting out. Maybe the Packers can kind of jump out to a lead.
• 21:23
  I just I just don't trust. I feel like a broker. I've said this multiple times this season and like
• 21:30
  you will it has come back to my me. They asked maybe I've just haven't learned my lesson. I feel
• 21:34
  like the Eagles just I don't know if there's something about them where it's like they should be.
• 21:40
  I mean they are very good but it doesn't. Yeah, this might not make sense. It doesn't feel like
• 21:46
  they're as good as their record says they are. Like sometimes I watch them like this isn't an
• 21:54
  elite team but sometimes they sometimes they get a click in. I just don't think they're going to
• 22:00
  have it click in early. I think the Packers keep it within the number and then the floor like I
• 22:05
  said will find a way probably to lose this game. I feel cool but I'm taking Packers plus four and
• 22:11
  a half. I think we're going to keep it close. Sean, what do you take? Yes, a if you guys remember
• 22:19
  a rematch from week one in Brazil when Jordan Love got a little banged up and guess what Jordan
• 22:27
  Love got a little banged up in week 18 and Malik Willis had to come back in but I am going with
• 22:34
  the Packers plus four and a half on the road in Philly. It feels like a solid play. I am going
• 22:42
  to get to this early with questions surrounding Jalen Hurtz status from his week 16 concussion.
• 22:51
  If Hurtz can't go, the slam will crash. So I'm going to make this I'm going to get to it while I
• 22:58
  can. Even if Hurtz has cleared, I think this is still the right play. We saw you know in week one
• 23:09
  the Packers they matched up pretty well against the Eagles in Brazil. Green Bay's offense is
• 23:18
  ranked higher than Philly's. Green Bay is ranked eighth and Philly is ranked 14th and their defense
• 23:26
  while not as dominant as the Eagles. They still have a top 10 unit but in the fact that Green Bay
• 23:34
  has played like they've played a tougher schedule than Philly. Like you said Philly does not it
• 23:42
  doesn't feel like they've earned all of these wins or whatever you said to still be here and for the
• 23:49
  Packers to have the record they have. That's pretty incredible. And I will say that you know the Packers
• 23:59
  they can hang tough. Of Green Bay's six losses this season only one of them they lost by five
• 24:07
  point more than five points and that came when the Detroit Lions beat them when love was banged up.
• 24:14
  I think this game will be a grind. This is one of the two most heavy run offense teams
• 24:25
  in the league. Keeping that clock moving, limiting big plays. Both defense is good. Green Bay balance
• 24:33
  attack gives them short to keep this within the numbers or dare I say even pull off the upset.
• 24:41
  But we'll see. I'm not obviously I'm not betting moneyline but we'll see. Keep an eye on hurts take
• 24:49
  the points. Packers plus four and a half. Okay next game Sunday night football. This one should be
• 25:00
  this one should be a doozy. It's the Manders and the Bucks. The Manders arguably probably the funnest
• 25:11
  or second most fun team this year in the NFL. You could put them out number one or number two
• 25:19
  just behind the Lions as ranked as my that's my fun team ranking fun to watch teams. That's
• 25:26
  that's a correct ranking. Yeah it's either one or two depending on the Lions are one but
• 25:34
  okay. Bucks are favored by three in Tampa Bay. Bucks perhaps lost some steam going into week 18.
• 25:46
  They needed that win against the Saints and I expected them to beat the shit out of the Saints.
• 25:53
  They did not. And then upon watching a different podcast they were like oh yeah the Bucks haven't
• 26:03
  won against anyone above 500 and this season and I was just like oh man I didn't even think about that.
• 26:12
  So instead of betting aside I'm taking the over bro it's Manders overs all fucking day
• 26:19
  over 50 and a half. Give me that all day. That's an easy easy play. Don't even care that it's 50.
• 26:27
  Let's have fun. It's Sunday night Sunday night football wild card weekend. Let's do it.
• 26:35
  I also think the Bucks can score a lot. They just had a little bit of a slump there. Baker is playing
• 26:40
  like a mad man. Maybe not. He needed to be a little bit more mad last week I guess. And the
• 26:48
  Manders are always such a fun team to watch. Sean what do you think about this game.
• 26:54
  Points. Points over 50 and a half. Both offenses firing on all cylinders. Both defense showing
• 27:03
  exploitable weak weaknesses. This over is crazy over. I don't even care that it's so high.
• 27:13
  You've got to bet this over. Bake show enjoying a career year. Jayden Daniels is having a
• 27:22
  revolutionary rookie season. The Manders ability to push the ball downfield aligns well with their
• 27:31
  defense that has been struggling to limit big plays. Tampa Bay's defense or secondary has been a
• 27:39
  problem allowing the seventh most completions of 20 plus yards and sitting 27th in opponent success
• 27:48
  rate per dropback. That's really bad. Especially against this Jayden Daniels offense. Injuries in
• 27:58
  the Bucks secondary only make it easier for Daniels who is excelled against blitz heavy and zone
• 28:06
  heavy schemes. The commanders haven't faced a defense as vulnerable as Tampa Bay's in weeks.
• 28:16
  And their defense you know they won't do much to slow down Mayfield either who's been thriving.
• 28:23
  You know. Washington's defense you know they've improved a little bit I guess. But they still
• 28:32
  rank in the bottom half of the league against the pass. So this this game is set up to be a
• 28:38
  shootout. Both teams combined are 23 and 11 on the over this season. And the offensive power on
• 28:47
  both sides makes 15 and a half feel like a very reachable goal. You know Washington stayed consistent
• 28:55
  within a one score and both teams have been reliable in putting up at least 23 points per game.
• 29:02
  Play the over enjoy the fireworks. Manders Bucks Sunday night. This will be fun. Chris sweep sweep
• 29:12
  sweep. Again not really much I can add. You all made excellent points. Neither defense really all
• 29:21
  that impressive. We just saw Spencer Rattler carve apart the Bucks secondary for a half football.
• 29:27
  And we kind of saw Michael Pennings do the same thing to the commander's defense. Both Jane
• 29:32
  Daniels and Baker Mayfield are very good quarterbacks and they're going to put on a show. This game's
• 29:38
  going to be really fun. So yeah over all day this this this game is going to rock. The Lions are the
• 29:46
  most entertaining team to watch. Manders and Bucks have to be two and three regardless of how you
• 29:52
  rank them at least like in the NFC. So I think this game is going to rock over. Hell yes. OK. Last
• 30:03
  game on the slate Vikings Rams Monday night football Rams home dogs by one point. This game
• 30:12
  also could be quite awesome. Chris you're going to go first on this one. What do you think. All
• 30:20
  right. I feel bad a little bad doing this. The Vikings have been very kind to me and us during
• 30:27
  the course of the season. Second the Rams on the money line. This line is fishing. You have a team
• 30:36
  you have a team that was just fighting for the one seed and now they're a one point favorite
• 30:43
  against like a meh Rams team like a good Rams team but nothing special. I is fishy.
• 30:52
  Also McVay Stafford they've been here. They've been here before they know what it takes. Obviously
• 30:57
  they've won a freaking Super Bowl. They know what they have to do to win playoff games. Kevin O'Connell
• 31:02
  and not the greatest history in the playoffs. We all remember when they were what was their record
• 31:12
  when they lost to the Giants in the first round of playoffs where they not
• 31:18
  can't they had a really good record. Was that before the 17 game season was that the year
• 31:23
  before that. I can't remember. They were one of the best teams in the league. They I remember
• 31:28
  they were the last undefeated team I believe and they kind of got like handled by a very mediocre
• 31:36
  Giants team and I just I questioned Kevin O'Connell Sam Darnold against Sean McVay
• 31:44
  Matt Stafford. That's kind of what it comes down to. I think the Rams have what it takes to win this
• 31:49
  game out right. I'm taking them taking them on the money line Rams all day. Will what do you think.
• 31:56
  You made some great points. Man I picked the Vikings just because like
• 32:07
  like you like you said this Rams team is it's fine. It's good. It's Matthew Stafford. It's
• 32:16
  all the receivers but it is nothing special and I don't want to take anything away from the Rams
• 32:23
  because the beginning of the season all their players got hurt. They lost five or six games and
• 32:30
  then just went on a heater. Damn. You got me thinking. All right. I'm switching the Rams.
• 32:45
  Well what was your what's your point. I get well yeah I would like to hear. Yeah believe like
• 32:52
  what why do you why do you want to take the Vikings because we can have a we can have a
• 32:56
  civilized discussion about about this. So the way that I think about this is
• 33:04
  back a couple of years ago when they had when they had that great season and
• 33:09
  were the frauds of the NFL that year. They were on fraud watch the whole year and to be honest I
• 33:17
  I don't I can't think of another team I can put in in the fraud watch category. This Chris.
• 33:28
  No I was I get what you're saying. I don't think they're I wasn't trying to say there were frauds
• 33:33
  per se but they did just like that game against the Lions last week was far and away their biggest
• 33:41
  game this season and they were not ready. Yeah they got their shit rocked like and I'm not saying
• 33:50
  the frauds either but they're they're on fraud watch and it's only a matter of time before they
• 33:57
  exit fraud watch and enter fraud territory. It's just like there's always a fraud team.
• 34:06
  There's always a team that's a fucking fraud and it just might be the Vikings again.
• 34:14
  I don't know. It's it's racking his brain right now dude like you can tell. Yeah it's killing me.
• 34:21
  Hey follow the Twitter. Yeah I'll make my decision there. Sean what do you think?
• 34:29
  I don't have to keep talking. So I have Rams plus one and a half written down.
• 34:38
  Parentheses may be money line so I might just go money line. If you're taking one and a half.
• 34:44
  Yeah we're we're gonna get we're gonna go money line. Yeah. But everything that Chris just said
• 34:51
  uh you know Sean McVay, Matthew Stafford they've been here Super Bowl champ Proving Track record
• 35:00
  Sam Darnold playing in his first ever postseason game. For me like who who are you gonna trust
• 35:09
  given these are you gonna trust Kevin O'Connell versus Sean McVay you're gonna trust Sam Darnold
• 35:16
  versus Matt Stafford. For me it's Stafford and McVay all the way especially at home season on the line.
• 35:25
  We saw this we saw this exact thing last week and it like Darnold had the chance
• 35:33
  to clinch the one seed and I think the state the closest he's ever had to a playoff game.
• 35:39
  Yeah and I think the stage was too big for him. I think it was just a little too big.
• 35:48
  And also the Rams they had the advantage of coming in rested after sitting key players like
• 35:54
  Stafford and Kyron Williams last week. Meanwhile the Vikings they just battled it out with the
• 36:00
  tight with the the Titans Jesus Christ with the Lions in a physical game excuse me I'm sorry.
• 36:09
  Similar teams. Yeah similar obviously. Yeah um but yeah I mean these and also it's it's pretty
• 36:21
  there's a stat I couldn't find it but uh teams often struggle after facing the Lions.
• 36:28
  I was gonna say that I as we were talking it was like I feel like we've talked about it earlier
• 36:34
  in the show or I remember talking about the Lions like yes bad against the spread and in this situation
• 36:44
  it's pretty much straight up so yeah I agree. But I I mean it it's I mean the Vikings they had a rough
• 36:57
  go of it last week and you know they they've had some scoring issues recently going back couple
• 37:06
  games scoring touchdowns on only 40% of their trips in the red zone. I think it's a tough spot
• 37:16
  against the Rams defense honestly that thrives in the red zone. And if you look at it from you know
• 37:26
  they're a road favorite the Vikings road record they look pretty good on paper six and two but most
• 37:34
  of those can't most of those wins came against weaker teams like the Jags the Titans the Bears
• 37:41
  you know but they have been vulnerable in these spots. The Rams did beat the Vikings earlier this
• 37:50
  season in a close game in LA and LA's they've kind of been clutching it in the fourth quarter.
• 37:59
  There are offense and defense they both elevate to play. Again McVay, Stiford they've been here.
• 38:08
  Kevin O'Connell and Donald they are new to this this experience. Everything on the line I'll take
• 38:16
  the Rams experience and ability to make big plays when it matters most. So Rams money line
• 38:25
  Monday night it's gonna I feel like this might go down to the wire like I feel like this could be
• 38:31
  a Rams like 24-23 victory like something dumb but I think the Rams can pull this off. Okay
• 38:40
  main slate of games we're talking about is over because that's all the games that we we talked
• 38:47
  about all of the games this week so now we're going to go into our surefire picks of the week
• 38:54
  double unit guaranteed not to lose and we're going to win these we have to.
• 39:01
  Chris you go first. We have to win our families depend on it.
• 39:06
  You want to have a house. All right I'm going first. I'm going to go with the first game
• 39:18
  of the playoffs. Chargers minus two and a half against the Texans for all the reasons I said
• 39:25
  and this stat from our friends at Trent Center. Justin Herbert has been a favorite of two and a
• 39:31
  half points or more 20 times in his career. He is 14 at six against the spread in those games
• 39:39
  rocking with him again rocking with him again. I like this. I like the Chargers a lot. I'm not
• 39:46
  going to lie. I put half unit on him plus 1300 to win the AFC. Go to the bowl. Because correct me
• 40:00
  if I'm wrong. They win this they will play the Chiefs next right.
• 40:06
  Hold on. I have no clue. I don't really know. They will have to play the Chiefs most likely at
• 40:13
  some point. They played the Chiefs to a one point game I believe at Arrowhead without Ladd-McConkie.
• 40:22
  I think they can beat the Chiefs. I think they can beat with Harbaugh they can beat anyone
• 40:28
  in the AFC. I think what? Well I mean brother it I think they can. The Chiefs will play the
• 40:40
  lowest remaining seed. Yes. Yes. But I think it's not guaranteed that the Chargers will play the
• 40:47
  Chiefs given that the Steelers and the Broncos are both lower seeds. But I think it's definitely
• 40:55
  very likely considering I think it's more likely than anything. Steelers and Broncos are both eight
• 41:01
  point dogs eight to nine point dogs. So yeah regardless of that I'm playing next they will
• 41:08
  probably have to play them at some point just if I mean we know it's going to happen.
• 41:15
  I think they have what it takes to beat them and I think they can be I think they can beat
• 41:20
  any team in the AFC. So I think plus 1,300 to win the or to go to the Bowl I like it so much.
• 41:30
  So yeah sure fire double unit Chargers must two and a half. Will what is your sure fire
• 41:37
  guaranteed not to lose play of Wildcarp weekend? So my play is of the third game of the weekend.
• 41:48
  It's the Broncos. Bill is over 47. I think this game is going to rock. I think
• 41:57
  even if the bills end up beating the shit out of the the Broncos that game is going to end
• 42:05
  like 48 to like 24. Like it's it's going to be a high scoring game there. And a lot of people
• 42:12
  are going to come out of this game thinking I think I am a bow lever. I think that's what
• 42:20
  they're going to think I am a bow lever. Well we've always been every single one of us.
• 42:27
  Every single one of us. Since he was drafted. Always believed in bow nicks. Always believed in
• 42:33
  champagne. Never said a cross word about them. But I've always thought that bow nicks is a very
• 42:40
  okay guy. I haven't said anything bad about bow nicks but okay well.
• 42:52
  At the beginning I was like he's fine I guess. Anyway he's figured out his part of football
• 43:00
  which is the offense. The defense not so much because that's not his job. But the bills are on
• 43:08
  a freight train from hell. If you don't count last week when they played nobody that's actually
• 43:12
  going to play in this game. And this over is going to cash easy. And I mean that's all I got.
• 43:21
  Sean what do you think about your surefire pick. Double you to play of the week.
• 43:30
  I'm going to go with the Rams. I'm switching it up. I know we said something different
• 43:34
  but I'm going to go with the Rams. Money line. All right. Let's boost this surefire parlay
• 43:40
  just a little bit. Let's get a Saturday Sunday and Monday pick in the surefire parlay. Let's
• 43:47
  make it a little more interesting. Yeah I think the lights are a little too bright for Sam Darnall.
• 43:54
  Everything that we just went over. Will I know that you're are you going to take the Vikings or
• 44:01
  are you going to are you going to switch to the Rams. I'm just going to switch to the Rams.
• 44:05
  Okay. Great. Because it sucks to take a surefire parlay when it goes against
• 44:12
  one of your own personal picks. I know we've all done it but it sucks. I'll do it again. All right.
• 44:20
  Well not this week. Not this week. You don't have to though.
• 44:22
  But won't be the last time. I am going with the Rams money line. I mean
• 44:30
  I mean we just went into it. We had a long discussion about it. It's just about experience.
• 44:39
  It's just about I mean God the Vikings were just so bad. They were just so bad last week.
• 44:48
  Yeah. It's you kind of expected them to put up a little bit more of a fight
• 44:58
  just because the Lions defense is so banged up. Yeah. I think they added three more injuries
• 45:05
  during that game. It was insane.
• 45:07
  I mean they were getting pressure on him. So he had every right to be uncomfortable.
• 45:23
  But he just did not look. If he had less than a second and a half to make a decision each
• 45:31
  time. So I think the Rams have a blueprint of how to beat this team. Oh yeah. I mean they've
• 45:39
  been well they've been preparing for this too because they you know they they probably figure
• 45:47
  that the Lions would put the shit on the Vikings and they would end up playing the
• 45:54
  end up playing the Rams. So they've been doing their homework as well.
• 45:57
  Well yeah. I mean God I mean what more can we say we just went into it like I mean I literally
• 46:09
  have nothing more to say. Just I think I think the Rams money line may be like the biggest
• 46:19
  it's it's it's not the biggest. No it's not triple unit. It might be a triple unit.
• 46:24
  Oh don't do that to me. Let's see how the other let's see let's see how the other games go because
• 46:32
  this is on Monday. So so yeah. They'll either have a full chamber just down to his last.
• 46:41
  Yeah. Good way to put it. Good way to put it. But yes. So we got the chargers minus two and a
• 46:55
  half or three or will you take it up to three. I take it up to three. Okay. Not more than three.
• 47:02
  But not more than three. Three and a half now. That's just the key number. I love it. But okay.
• 47:09
  Two and a half three definitely Broncos bills over forty seven and a half and the Rams money line.
• 47:16
  Yeah whatever over you get it at. That could be a pretty nice. What is that parlay right now.
• 47:22
  How about you figure that out while I move on to our next segment.
• 47:29
  All right. Those are the games we don't have to talk about the Rams anymore.
• 47:32
  The ball is down. It's not gone. Our roll number.
• 47:39
  That's good. I'm bad with Qashin. Number.
• 47:44
  Qashin has nothing left to say. So. All right people got fired.
• 47:52
  Patriят's coach is out in so is 78. Wolff
• 47:59
  I think it's a yes. It's a whatever. He was not the problem by any stretch of the imagination.
• 48:12
  But I also don't think he was going to be the solution. So it's just like that. I feel
• 48:19
  like you were if you didn't do it now you probably do it in a couple years. Yeah it's
• 48:26
  kind of like I feel like two years is long enough for to improve on a team or at least
• 48:38
  like in that second year not be the worst team in the league. The worst team. Someone's
• 48:45
  getting is someone's the worst team in the league. Someone's getting fired. That's that's
• 48:48
  exact it like when I saw that ran got fired it reminded me of that scene from National
• 48:56
  Treasure the best movie of all time. Someone's got to go to jail then you know like someone's
• 49:02
  got to get fired. And no that was one Chris. That was one. Do not do not test me on National
• 49:13
  Treasure. No you're not. You're the FBI director said that. I thought it was the I thought it
• 49:18
  was the president who said it. You are correct. I am correct. Thank you. But someone's got
• 49:23
  to go to jail. Someone's got to get fired. So and that is exactly what I thought when
• 49:29
  he got fired. And I was like yep that someone it was either him or Callahan. And honestly
• 49:36
  it makes more sense that ran got fired than him because I mean he's the one that made
• 49:42
  these signings he's the one that made these deals. You know we spent the most money of
• 49:50
  any team in the National Football League in this off season. And we got the first overall
• 49:58
  pick out of it. That's not that's not good. It's not good. Yeah it's a it it all kind
• 50:08
  of I mean immediately started with his first acting decision when he drafted Peter Skoronski.
• 50:16
  Now in that first round last year. Now I think that Peter Skoronski is good. Second
• 50:25
  best lineman on the team. Yeah on our bar is in the shitter. But yeah. But like you
• 50:36
  don't draft a guard in the first round. I with how just awful that offensive line was.
• 50:47
  I thought I agree. I wanted something a little flashier. But especially with how high the
• 50:53
  pick was. But I got where he was coming from. I was like yeah we could do something fun.
• 50:58
  We could get a receiver. We could get neighbors. We get neighbors. We could do something fun.
• 51:04
  Or we could address by far the worst offensive line. And he did. And it was still the worst
• 51:14
  offensive line of football. So it's like I get what like if you look at it in a vacuum
• 51:19
  it's like yes. We spent like you said we spent the most money kind of far away of any team
• 51:25
  and we still were the worst. That is a fireball offense. He did still do some good. He did
• 51:32
  bring in like some key pieces. Again I think he's being kind of used as a scapegoat. But
• 51:39
  at the same time I don't think he's some visionary that's going to lead us out of this just deep
• 51:44
  dark forest that we're in. So like yeah it was it was probably going to happen eventually.
• 51:52
  So and also this team is a joke. Who cares. Yeah yeah who I mean bringing in you know
• 52:02
  JC Latham, Trivande Sweat especially. I think Sweat will be a big part of our defense for
• 52:10
  hope I pray for a long time because that dude is a monster. That dude is legit meatloaf.
• 52:21
  Dude. He rocks. He rocks. Yeah like that dude's awesome. But you know you can't you can't
• 52:31
  just break it down to just one or two acquisitions. You know what I mean. No. Yeah like I mean
• 52:39
  I was just saying it kind of started. Yeah no yeah exactly yeah I agree. His first I
• 52:47
  mean his his first decision truthfully. And I will say that if personally if I had to choose
• 52:57
  it would be between Rand or Callahan. Rand's got to go just because when you have Brian
• 53:06
  Callahan you got his father Bill Callahan who is supposedly the greatest offensive
• 53:14
  line coach of all time. Or now. Now our line was still ass. But I think that does kind
• 53:25
  of come down to just having players that play. It's like you can't you can't coach a bad
• 53:36
  player to be a great player. You can you can coach a bad player to be an average player.
• 53:41
  You can coach an average player to be a good player. And you can coach a good player to
• 53:45
  be a fantastic player. There's the range of like coaching. What it can do for you is pretty
• 53:54
  limited if you don't got the guys. That's just my take. And that's I don't know. Do
• 54:01
  we have anything else to add. The only thing that just seems fish. I don't say the only
• 54:08
  thing but the main thing I should say that seems fishy about it is this the president
• 54:13
  of football operations. What's his name. I just pulled it up and I already forgot it.
• 54:19
  Brinker Chad Brinker. What'd you say. I said we'll pull it up. I did again. They said
• 54:29
  you're good to help. Amy said that he will have like final say over Ross just like even
• 54:35
  when they hire a GM just make him the GM. Yeah like or don't net just don't like what
• 54:42
  are we doing. I mean this organization this organization's a joke. Like that's kind of
• 54:48
  what I was saying like well. Yeah it doesn't matter. We won't go anywhere with this you
• 54:54
  know but Adams dynasty of you know Amy Adams shrunk. If she passes it on to I don't know
• 55:02
  if she has children. I really don't. If she passes it on to her children. This this team
• 55:09
  will go nowhere. And if they sell this team they're well they they're going to build a
• 55:15
  new stadium so they're going to stay here for a while but they're this isn't going to
• 55:18
  be like you know a permanent residence if they sell the team. I think Nashville. I
• 55:27
  think you can make enough money in Nashville to where they'll keep. You can. Especially
• 55:32
  with. Okay yeah I mean. Go I mean I've been you know I've been lucky enough to have a
• 55:42
  grandfather who's had season tickets since you know the opening of Nissan Stadium and
• 55:49
  I've been to a lot of games and most of the games I've been to have been like 60 40 opposing
• 55:56
  fans so I get I get like the reason why there is a team here because this is a big tourist
• 56:03
  attraction. But that's not a reason why your team should be shit like it's like oh let's
• 56:12
  let's go to Nashville because we're going to win you know. Like I mean that we got a
• 56:19
  bit I don't I don't know I. I mean this organization pisses me off dude I mean we're just not going
• 56:26
  to get anywhere with with Amy Adams we're not we're not going to do anything. We are
• 56:32
  with. The short fused little lady that doesn't know. How to run a team she she just doesn't
• 56:43
  know how to do she doesn't know how to run a team she just doesn't. I think she started
• 56:49
  out started out strong with Robinson and she caught lightning in a bottle. Yes. And then
• 56:57
  ever since that ever since rock and I mean it is Robinson's fault that we are where we
• 57:01
  are ever since he tanked the team she's just been grasping the straws. Yeah like she doesn't
• 57:07
  know what to do. So she's just trying to capture that magic again and she probably won't and
• 57:14
  then it'll get she does have three kids none of them bear the Adams name so I don't know
• 57:20
  that's still well I mean neither does she really but it's it's in there. It's it's it
• 57:27
  but she doesn't bear the name anymore but you know it's but I was nobody it we're starting
• 57:33
  to starting to because I will say this we're starting to mirror the bears with the McCasky's
• 57:40
  granted the McCasky's I've been doing for generations and the Adams family has been
• 57:45
  well it was but up until recently but we are starting to get in that territory where it's
• 57:52
  we're passing it from family member to family member and they're just making rash decisions
• 57:56
  and firing GM's firing coaches nothing nobody ever seems to be on the same page we bring
• 58:02
  in a new quarterback. He has to learn three systems in three years like it seems like
• 58:07
  we are leading we're wandering down that path and it's not it's not fun it's a bad path
• 58:15
  I don't like it I don't know but that it is what it is this franchise has been a joke
• 58:23
  85% of my life so why should it change and I saw that the brown or we reached out to
• 58:30
  the Browns like assistant GM today for like an interview and I'm like oh my god dude they
• 58:39
  don't know nothing they don't know anything. Is it frayble? No it's not frayble. Is it
• 58:46
  Condoleezza rice? It's Bill Haslam. Don't joke about that. No I'm joking. We were having
• 59:02
  a good time. I got you though. You did. I got you for a second. I don't know if my
• 59:07
  face was on the screen you said that I went like one. Yeah. You were like don't fuck with
• 59:17
  me like that. I got you for a second. You did 100% but. No I don't remember his name
• 59:22
  but I don't know enough about GM like candidates to know this like unless like a GM gets fired
• 59:32
  two days ago I don't know really any GM's name. It's weird I think ran before us he
• 59:40
  was like just in the front office of the Niners. He was like some like head of player development
• 59:47
  or something like that with the Niners. Yeah it felt non it didn't make me feel like he
• 59:57
  knew what he was doing but it did. I did feel good getting him just because I was like I
• 1:00:05
  mean he was a part of 49ers organization like he probably learned some stuff about building
• 1:00:11
  a good team because they have a good team when everything goes right for the Niners
• 1:00:18
  but as far as player acquisition and drafting and developing for the most part. So it's
• 1:00:28
  weird I don't know. It is weird just like I kind of want to say overall he did a good
• 1:00:37
  job kind of like he swung I'll give him that a few of them were some big misses but he
• 1:00:48
  also had some hits Calvin Ridley a thousand yards like Tony Pollard if he wasn't hurt
• 1:00:54
  probably would have been a thousand yards got a couple good offensive linemen again like
• 1:00:59
  sweat stud in the middle on defense the secondary is bad but I just again if you look at it
• 1:01:11
  in a vacuum we spend a shit ton of money to get significantly worse so for that for that
• 1:01:19
  alone is a fire offense so it sucks but I get it. So the the the Browns assistant general
• 1:01:38
  manager and vice president of football operations her name is Catherine Hickman and that is who
• 1:01:47
  the Tennessee Titans have requested to speak with. We're gonna get a lady coach next aren't
• 1:01:55
  we?
• 1:01:57
  I know nothing about her as well. She works for the Browns. I'm out. How long has she
• 1:02:25
  worked with the Browns? Did she have anything to do with bringing in to Shawn Watson? I
• 1:02:31
  don't know but she is only 36 years old which you could date her Shawn. Hey that would be
• 1:02:45
  cool.
• 1:02:56
  Not great. I'll say that.
• 1:03:16
  Only at that age and I remember doing wind seventy two класс one last night and then
• 1:03:45
  remotely high expectation for this team.
• 1:03:48
  And sort of faith or hope.
• 1:03:51
  Why? It's just cost me so much, Penny.
• 1:03:55
  This girl's French, dude.
• 1:03:57
  She's from Montreal.
• 1:03:58
  Well, she definitely doesn't know football then.
• 1:04:02
  She's from Montreal. She speaks French.
• 1:04:04
  That's her like...
• 1:04:05
  That's like her native language is French.
• 1:04:09
  That won't go well.
• 1:04:11
  This cannot go well.
• 1:04:12
  This cannot go well.
• 1:04:14
  Maybe somewhere else, but not here.
• 1:04:19
  Maybe in the CFO, she could be a GM.
• 1:04:22
  Oh, of course.
• 1:04:28
  But the Looney and the Toonie are...
• 1:04:30
  Yeah.
• 1:04:31
  I don't know. I just... whatever.
• 1:04:33
  They're worth as much as the American dollar.
• 1:04:41
  Yeah, well, we'll see what happens.
• 1:04:43
  I...
• 1:04:44
  If probably we'll be wrong,
• 1:04:48
  whatever decision is made will probably be wrong.
• 1:04:53
  If I'm just going off my 28 years on this planet,
• 1:04:59
  it's probably going to be the wrong decision.
• 1:05:04
  Yeah.
• 1:05:05
  Yeah, so, L.A. fires right now.
• 1:05:09
  They're devastating L.A.
• 1:05:11
  So, you should definitely take Chris and I's surefire picks.
• 1:05:16
  Chargers minus two and a half and the Rams money line.
• 1:05:20
  L.A. Strong.
• 1:05:22
  Let's stay safe out there.
• 1:05:26
  Yeah.
• 1:05:28
  And the Broncos bill is over.
• 1:05:32
  Yeah, do that too.
• 1:05:34
  Just trying to get out of this conversation.
• 1:05:36
  L.A. Strong, stay safe.
• 1:05:40
  Yeah, all these L.A. listeners we got out there.
• 1:05:44
  I do want to pose a question that I think could be a good debate.
• 1:05:54
  When do the Steelers make a change in head coach?
• 1:05:58
  I don't know. Probably never. Probably until he dies.
• 1:06:02
  It's got to happen soon, man.
• 1:06:06
  He hasn't won a playoff game in seven years or something like that.
• 1:06:12
  I mean, you stay consistent.
• 1:06:15
  You keep making the playoffs.
• 1:06:17
  Like you stay within your division.
• 1:06:22
  Like I get the whole like he's never had a losing record and all that stuff.
• 1:06:26
  I don't even say that. I didn't even say that though.
• 1:06:28
  But you like the consistency thing. Like I get like that is huge.
• 1:06:32
  And I if they fired him tomorrow, I would be like, yeah, fucking hire him for the Titans.
• 1:06:38
  But like you get to a point where it's like, okay, cool, making the playoffs is good.
• 1:06:45
  You got to fucking win a game.
• 1:06:48
  We're not saying when it's super.
• 1:06:50
  Win a game. He's won.
• 1:06:52
  I think the stat could be wrong, but I'm not going to be far off.
• 1:06:57
  He's won three playoff games since they won the Super Bowl.
• 1:07:02
  I can tell you, yeah.
• 1:07:04
  He won he won he won five playoff games in his first two years and one of those was the Super Bowl year.
• 1:07:11
  And he's won three and he has eight playoff ones now. So he's won three since it.
• 1:07:16
  Him and Ben were just so like they were just like so in sync. Like they were interlocked mentally where like, you know what I mean?
• 1:07:28
  Like, and you know, this this turnover of of quarterbacks within the Steelers within the past five, six years has, you know, to stay above 500 is kind of a miracle.
• 1:07:45
  Especially with having Kenny pick it as you're starting quarterback.
• 1:07:51
  You know what I mean? Like just like, I mean, I don't know when you make the change.
• 1:07:58
  Let's say he goes to playoffs three consecutive like this year next year.
• 1:08:06
  You're after that.
• 1:08:07
  I was first round.
• 1:08:09
  What with who with Russ.
• 1:08:12
  Sure. I mean, it doesn't like with a capable quarterback, but he loses first round every single every single year.
• 1:08:22
  I feel like at that point, you gotta do something like just if you're the Pittsburgh Steelers, like you have like making the playoffs cannot be the the ball cannot be the state.
• 1:08:37
  Well, I mean, growing up in the time that I've, you know, grew up, I guess that's a stupid way of saying it, but the Steelers like they've been, they've always been, you know, flatlined, like they've always been eight and eight, like, whatever, like just just good enough.
• 1:09:06
  And I feel like that's enough for the city of Pittsburgh to be like, yeah, we're, we're in contention.
• 1:09:15
  We can still, we can still do it.
• 1:09:17
  We can make the Super Bowl.
• 1:09:19
  We can make the AFC championship.
• 1:09:22
  And I think I don't really think ownership really cares that much, if I'm being honest.
• 1:09:31
  I don't know.
• 1:09:32
  I don't know.
• 1:09:33
  Pittsburgh Steelers.
• 1:09:34
  I don't either.
• 1:09:35
  But it really doesn't seem like they care.
• 1:09:37
  It doesn't seem like they really give a shit.
• 1:09:40
  They're fine with just making the playoffs.
• 1:09:43
  And like, again, I'm a fan of shit bag organization.
• 1:09:48
  I envy that stability.
• 1:09:50
  Yeah, because if I had that stability, I would be like, okay, let's win one of these things.
• 1:09:55
  Like, let's, I'm not saying we got to go to Super Bowl and win like be the chiefs win three, make a dynasty, whatever.
• 1:10:03
  I want to win a place.
• 1:10:05
  Yeah, because if you're the, if you're the Steelers organization, you're like, all right, let's win the AFC North and then we can sell t shirts.
• 1:10:14
  You know, like we can, you know, like we can make merch for profit.
• 1:10:19
  We can make hats.
• 1:10:20
  We can make shirts.
• 1:10:21
  We can make fucking socks.
• 1:10:23
  It doesn't matter.
• 1:10:24
  Like we can sell this shit because we have such a devoted fan base because I think the Steelers do have like one of the most.
• 1:10:32
  Devoted fan bases in the entire National Football League.
• 1:10:36
  Oh, yeah.
• 1:10:37
  No question.
• 1:10:38
  So like as long as the Steelers stay like consistent and they stay relevant, they don't care.
• 1:10:46
  They don't care if you go eight and eight.
• 1:10:48
  They don't care if you go nine and eight.
• 1:10:49
  They don't care if you go eight and nine.
• 1:10:51
  And if you have Mike Tomlin, you're not going to go below 500.
• 1:10:57
  So it's like, do you really make the change?
• 1:11:01
  I guess not.
• 1:11:03
  That's my point.
• 1:11:05
  That's my opinion.
• 1:11:06
  I mean, I'm not saying fire now.
• 1:11:07
  I'm not going to say fire next season.
• 1:11:09
  I just think if you go like multiple, like many years, several years in a row, first round playoff exit, at some point you got to be like, okay, like we got to make and yeah, maybe it is that we suck for a couple years, but that just, it's just kind of the way football is.
• 1:11:28
  Yeah, you still get there though.
• 1:11:30
  Like, and that's really all I think really all Pittsburgh wants like, they're a fucking blue.
• 1:11:36
  That's a fucking blue collar town, dude.
• 1:11:39
  Like it's like, oh, we're kind of good.
• 1:11:43
  It can be what ownership wants, but I feel like it's something like Steelers fans like as diehard as they are, you get like, okay, like, again, not asking for rings, not asking for a dynasty, maybe some of them.
• 1:11:56
  I would if I were to see if I want to win like a playoff.
• 1:12:00
  Sure.
• 1:12:01
  And they haven't done it.
• 1:12:03
  So that's why I feel like I feel like if this continues next two to three years, still is my doubt to make and I don't even feel like it's it would be like that crazy of a move.
• 1:12:16
  Because Tom, it's not like Tomlin is like, like, yes, he is the model of consistency and he has never had a losing season. It's not like he's going like seven to 15 and two all these years and these like winning seasons.
• 1:12:33
  A lot of times he's one game above right at 500.
• 1:12:37
  So, yeah, and that's again, I get what you're saying.
• 1:12:40
  Yeah, I get what you're saying.
• 1:12:42
  Like that is kind of the new bar, I guess, for the Steelers, at least kind of what their ownership is saying.
• 1:12:48
  But if you're a fan, it's got to be mad.
• 1:12:52
  I think I think it's more.
• 1:12:55
  Sorry, go ahead.
• 1:12:56
  Well, all right.
• 1:12:57
  Finally, I get to I get to speak.
• 1:12:59
  Yeah, I know.
• 1:13:01
  I think it's to sort of piggyback off of you, Chris, it's it's a weird situation like they they had a stable quarterback in Raffles burger for so many years, and then the past five years, or ever since he's been gone, however long that's been, it's been a turnstile at quarterback,
• 1:13:25
  which is kind of like, you can't really blame him for that.
• 1:13:33
  And he is truly making the best of what he's got.
• 1:13:38
  And that is always above 500 apparently, that's his, that's his best above 500.
• 1:13:45
  I think with, you know, kind of after that sort of window where they they want a ton of playoff games and then they've only won three since then, that's, I'd probably look more towards why didn't they fire him earlier, I guess, why didn't they move from him earlier if, if they were winning all these
• 1:14:09
  games and then they just couldn't do it in the playoffs, but now they're still making the playoffs and they obviously can't win these games because they don't have a quarterback and so it's, it's an interesting situation.
• 1:14:22
  But the Steelers never have been truly awful so it's kind of hard to get that stable quarterback.
• 1:14:30
  So I think, I mean, reason, two reasons they haven't fired him yet, which, okay, three, one, he is a very good head coach, like I'm not shitting on the man at all.
• 1:14:42
  Two, they are like the Steelers have had, like, is it three head coaches like fucking ever.
• 1:14:52
  So they tried themselves on being like, we're going to stick with our guys and like ride it out and they will be in like we believe in them and they will be great.
• 1:15:03
  And they've all been great.
• 1:15:04
  They all have.
• 1:15:05
  Yes.
• 1:15:06
  Yeah.
• 1:15:07
  And but also like that's the point.
• 1:15:10
  That's the point I was going to make before, you know, Will made his point is like they're, they're afraid of change, essentially, like, you know, like,
• 1:15:21
  they're afraid to change it up.
• 1:15:23
  So just stick with consistency.
• 1:15:26
  Pretty much.
• 1:15:27
  I mean, that makes sense.
• 1:15:29
  So yeah, I get it.
• 1:15:30
  I just, yeah, I just wanted to raise the question.
• 1:15:34
  There's something that I was thinking about this week.
• 1:15:36
  I mean, it, it makes sense.
• 1:15:38
  Like, it's, you know, like, why haven't they fired him earlier?
• 1:15:43
  Well, because they're okay with consistency, they're okay with being eight and eight.
• 1:15:49
  They're okay with being nine and eight.
• 1:15:51
  They're okay with being, you know, second in the division.
• 1:15:57
  They're okay with making the playoffs like every other year or whatever and losing in the first round because, you know, you make it, you at least have a shot.
• 1:16:06
  We've seen it that like, if you can at least make it, you can, you can still make it and win.
• 1:16:13
  We've seen it.
• 1:16:14
  So, I mean, Tomlin's a dog.
• 1:16:18
  Tomlin's a dog, dude.
• 1:16:20
  He's a dog.
• 1:16:22
  He'll fucking, he'll grind and he'll, he'll grind and dig his way out and fucking bite.
• 1:16:28
  He'll, he'll get there.
• 1:16:30
  Yeah, he'll get there.
• 1:16:32
  He will, but much like us with the end of this show.
