Starting point is 00:02:04 Welcome to the Greenlight podcast. An instant reaction for you, you'll hear Chris from right after Sunday's 1 and 4 p.m. games. We recorded this right in the middle of the Minnesota-Indianapolis game on Sunday night. Chris gives us quick thoughts on the Lions Packers game played in the weather. Lions came out on top. they can play in any condition. The Eagles with a big win against the Jaguars, they kind of love some points on the field,
Starting point is 00:02:31 but they came away with the win anyway. The Bears with a dud down in Arizona. A quick reaction, make sure to come back later today for a full week-nine NFL reactions. With Chris Nathan Bow, we'll be rocking. We'll catch you that. Guys, I'm not going to lie, this. What does this fall back?
Starting point is 00:03:14 Used to love it in college when you were at the bar and you get the extra hour. now now i i don't know how i feel about it i'm tired as shit and and listen i popped up like jim harbaugh this morning i was like why am i up so early you know my kids are confused they're like my clock's broken the whole thing i think the whole nfl's clock was broken today because those games sucked honestly i'm just going to come out and say it i'm always thankful for sunday football for sunday ball but i thought today's slate was the first kind of me slate that i've seen in a while because like you know the one pms most of those games sucked i mean Miami and uh buffalo is a great game in the end
Starting point is 00:04:06 but it was kind of like a a slow bleed kind of thing where you had some really great moments but um you know the first half wasn't fireworks and then you get to the the four p ms and you've got, I mean, what do we see? It was like a blowout in the rain. And I love a rock fight. But, you know, that thing was ugly in Green Bay. And I'm pretty sure Detroit wanted it just like that the way they played, man. It was like, it was like, remind me somebody being suffocated by an anaconda.
Starting point is 00:04:41 Honestly, it was, it was, it was nothing they could do about it. The minute the game script got out from under them, it was, there was, no hope um and you know blowouts broncos sorry reed blown out is a tough slate and then this game tonight which i don't mind a low scoring primetime game and i'm on the colts right now so i'm kind of happy but that was hideous there's some hideous moments in that game so it was a it was a tough tough slate i do want to point out while i have your attention everybody in the in the industry damn self-promotes i'm gonna self-promote stanford steve five and oh green light locks this week your boy five and oh green light locks this week making was five and no last week don't cut your
Starting point is 00:05:34 hand a few sharps at the green light pod and um you know did pretty good in real life today too but like not a great slate some highlights for me jim harbaw waxing nostalgic about his parents getting married like how many years ago somebody have the date 60 years ago jack harbaugh 63 years ago he said he was nostalgic i'm paraphrasing because his parents honeymooned at a cleveland brown's game a long time which is sick dude i mean honestly you got to think about jack harbaugh about These guys were at, they're all behind here. Like, yeah, yeah, it is kind of sick. But they were laughing.
Starting point is 00:06:21 Because, you know, that's the most football thing in the world. You know, you to find out your parents. Least surprising thing in the world. Yeah, least surprise. Paul Brown, was it Paul Brown? Was it? Paul Brown was the coach. Jim Brown was the running back.
Starting point is 00:06:40 Lou Groza was kicking. It was the Browns. I think they went 8, 5, and 1 in that season. We looked it up. It was like 8, 5 and 1, the Browns that year. So you had to go, you had to, you had to, in the third in the NFL East, you had to, that was like, that was everybody was taking their, everybody was taking their new wife. NFL East game.
Starting point is 00:07:07 I, for the people here before I get in. And you're not going to get hard analytics, like analysis here. You're not going to get, I'm fucking. tired, okay? But Kurt Benkert, who's NFL media personality now, but he was a quarterback, went to Virginia and played for the Packers, and he does some really good stuff in the media now. But I got a cameo account, and I was basically like, I don't want to say catfish, that has a whole other connotation. But basically, I was like, I had a burner. And I was hitting up guys, I kind of know in the NFL and making them say outrageous shit on cameo under the burner.
Starting point is 00:07:43 and I had Kurt Benkirt congratulate somebody on basically it was a proposal over cameo and he was reading a proposal that entailed an invitation to the honeymoon which was six days seven nights at the Hall of Fame in Canton and that kind of reminds me of some shit that Jack Harbaugh would do if we have the cameo can you put it on here in post I don't know if that's too complicated read it's a live broadcast um so you Yeah, we had the Drake May play that was like all the 12 seconds of magic. I mean, I think New England fans probably walking out. I bet you New England fans were on their way home and they were like, did we lose that game?
Starting point is 00:08:23 You know, honestly? Because it kind of felt like we had Dr. Faxman here. It was like, wait, the Pats lost because it kind of felt like they won that damn game. Just getting overtime and that play was incredible. I think if you're like a Pats fan, you're probably feeling pretty good right now about the young kid. You know? And kudos to that team. I know they got pushed around a little bit today defensively in some spots,
Starting point is 00:08:44 but it looked like the toughness thing is off the table, hopefully, because they've responded pretty well. Cardinals, good team. Cardinals figuring out a way. I mean, not a lot of household names on that defense. I know Kyler made some throws today, but I just think about like the defense, not a lot of household names.
Starting point is 00:09:06 Rawless, right? He's the D.C. there. Gannon, obviously a big hand in that. defense got it got to got to got to got to get my cap to that guy john ganon always seemed like a good dude being around you know philly when i come back but um you know getting that job took a lot a lot of a lot of flack for who do you tell rondell more he was going to get a bunch of verticals shots verticals explosives pew pew and what i mean by that is you can run that was like one of the most awkward social. They put that dude in a bad spot there. So, you know, he's, he's coaching his
Starting point is 00:09:48 ass off. And that team is above 500. And the NFC West is totally, it's out of whack. It's crazy. Like the Rams, that game was drunk. I do think games get drunker when the sun goes down earlier. I think the four, I have a theory that the 4 p.m. slate gets drunker when we fall back. And that was the beginning of it today was totally fucking dark in here i didn't even know the rams were playing football for half of the fourth quarter i had to look up i thought they won the game i thought it was over and i seriously i go i went five and o in locks huh i'm counting my chickens over here there's four to half minutes left in the game gino is i mean they are like i feel terrible for gino sometimes because his lows are really low and today was one of those lows i feel like it's been
Starting point is 00:10:38 that way for a couple weeks now. Since the Atlanta game where you thought they just figured it out, obviously they'll be better when they kind of figure it out here. I don't think the Seahawks are very consistent. I think that's their problem. That's why you can't take them seriously down the stretch. You know, I know I picked them to win the West, but right now I've got to be honest,
Starting point is 00:10:59 I feel like kind of an idiot the way they played. Now, they did some good things today. Obviously, being that game is a good Rams football team. But again, look at the, look at the way the, and I put it this way last week, talking about when Puka and Cooper Cup come back, look how the Robbins play. Like, you know, those are the Batman, so to speak, you know, the Atwells, the Robinsons of the world. And those guys made big catches. The Tyler Johnsons of the world made big catches down the stretch. Those guys legitimately, and I think one of them was on Rieck-Wollen.
Starting point is 00:11:34 you know so it's it's not just them beating you know the lesser cover guys when the good guys come back which is definitely a plus but those guys stepped up and made huge plays i joked in the fourth quarter that matt stafford was just trying to go home like honestly i think he was tired like the rest of us and he was just throwing balls into traffic he was like we got to get this fucking thing over with so i love him for that um but yeah Graham's game was drunk. And one more thing about the cards, and I'll talk about that we can dive into this tomorrow, but I saw a stat about Matt Iber Fluss's last like 20, what, 20 games.
Starting point is 00:12:13 He's now 21. On the road. 3 of 18 winless on Sundays, Matt Iber Fluse on the road. Yeah. Minus 181. Minus 181 point differential? His last 21 road. I honestly, that's a coaching thing.
Starting point is 00:12:32 like there are too many iterations of that team over that span and honestly like you put any NFL team and and let them play 21 games on Sunday I mean that's an outlier to lose 18 times so that's a coaching thing that's not the players you can't blame that all on the players like I don't know how they're preparing these guys for road games I don't know how what's their what is the the cadence of how they travel what's the meeting i need the whole fucking itinerary matt i didn't know what the coaches are doing after the meetings honestly i didn't know what they're doing on saturday i'm not saying they're they're out having a good time but i mean coaches do go out and eat dinner and shit like that i remember uh when i played i used to be pissed because i didn't want to go anywhere
Starting point is 00:13:24 but i know i couldn't and the coaches used to like finish with meetings and uh they were out at dinner with sometimes their wives and that sort of thing until one in the morning. I'm not saying it's the bears are out late, not getting the REM sleep, but I, the coaches, but I have no idea what's what goes into that kind of a streak. That's terrible. For as good as that team's been at times, like, that's wild to me. So anyways, getting to the best team in the NFC and they proved it again today. And, you know, I had to talk about puff my chest out, say all the things I was, I was right about today.
Starting point is 00:13:57 I thought Green Bay would cover. Now, the under was a sure thing. Look at that rain. It was pissing. It was 49 degrees. But here's what Detroit became today to me. And I'm not saying they haven't been this before. But they have not played in inclement weather offensively as well.
Starting point is 00:14:16 And I thought today they met the challenge and then some. Jared golf was great. And, you know, it wasn't like either quarterback was going to be asked to do a ton out here in the rain. right a lot of these are play action big chunk of the middle of field that sort of thing some some quick dumps you know for golf but but to make the throw that he made on the first drive of the game like that's the difference in the game to me where the other quarterback jordan love goes down there and misses i mean he misses i mean that ball's got to be hauled in but you could argue in a driving rainstorm like that you got to put the ball right on the receiver's hands,
Starting point is 00:14:57 and it's the same thing late with Wixie. And that's a ball that Wix would like to have, and it's behind him. But I also think the quarterback needs to put that ball in the right place if you want to be considered one of those guys. And I know he's playing hurt, and I think that probably factored into his performance in some respects, but I also don't think the whole thing is on him.
Starting point is 00:15:21 I think there's like six, seven drops on the field at five. six drops something like that was crazy i mean it's crazy and if you're the packers to beat the best team in the nfc you're going to have to be damn near perfect you don't have to be perfect but you can't be you can't play like that you know what i mean you can't go down there the first possession take eight minutes off the clock and then miss your opportunity when you get your opportunity you got to hit it you got to hit the one later in the game you got to hit the ones in the red zone one of four on the day in the red zone and i think also not for nothing. The game script got away from to the point where, you know, they couldn't ride Josh Jacobs
Starting point is 00:15:58 through four quarters. But I do think like Detroit having two backs is an unseen. I mean, everybody knows it's an advantage, the Sonic and Knuckles thing. But I also think like when you look at a team like Green Bay, who would also like to run the ball with authority for 60 minutes, they've got one stud, you know. I know they've got other players that can carry the ball for them. But the drop off from Josh Jacobs, the next guy is it's more steep than, you know, and the thing about Gibbs and Montgomery is they're so different. They're not redundant backs. So you end up in a situation sometimes on teams where you have two backs and kind of the same guy.
Starting point is 00:16:36 You have to change the way you think as a defensive line and the run schemes you're going to get how quick the balls cut back, cut downhill on some of these plays. Obviously the style of play. And, you know, what happens in the passing game with the, those two guys on the field. Different things. So it's a lot to throw to defense. And I think, you know, the throw that Jared Gough made early in the game, some of the throws he made later in the game, just to continue to move the sticks enough to keep this game kind of out of reach. You know, he is playing like an MVP candidate. And on top of that, you've got the guys up front who did a good job to protect him, I think, largely. You know, one of the reasons
Starting point is 00:17:16 I thought Green Bay could hang would be the interior pressure, which they did last year when they played them in the second matchup. But I thought Detroit did a really nice job today of just operating, knowing what the assignment is, and just executing. Whereas Green Bay, a bunch of drops, bunch of penalties right off the bat. There was flags on the field with those guys. So I've lost my cursor. Here it is. I just wanted to make sure there's nothing else I forgot from that game. You know, the penalties were bad. I just mentioned the penalties. I mean, like, you know, I think for one, when Dan Campbell gets down there and he's going to leave the team out there for fourth and five or whatever it is at the goal line, I'm sitting in here in the living room and I know, don't jump.
Starting point is 00:18:00 Like, I know, dude. You know, and you get the guy who's the closest to the center. You know, that's the position that we used to say like, and that's Brooks, I think, you know. Was the Sladen? Whoever it was. I mean, you're the closest to the center. You know, you're the one who can't jump off sides. and of course, don't, you know, don't twist Dan Campbell's arm.
Starting point is 00:18:24 You know, you know what he was going to do getting a little bit closer and they throw the ball. And obviously, great throwing catch. So, I mean, just continuing to reinforce who they are. I mean, like, to me, the most impressive thing about these Detroit games is not just how they're doing these things in a vacuum. It's week after week, not getting bored with the, process not getting bored with success not getting bored with physicality and again by the way as a betting trend at least the Campbell hangover thing how the covers are undefeated this year the Patriots covered against Titans but I just the lions do not they they don't have down weeks that they will at
Starting point is 00:19:09 some point I thought it might be this week but they don't because because their their um their foundation is that strong. When you have a strong foundation, rooted in fundamentals, loving each other, playing for each other, playing for the coach, you know, sticking together, you know, they're built the right way. Defensively, there are going to be some situations. And today wasn't the day where they're going to play a good team and the pass rush is not going to be a problem necessarily, but it might not be a strength. And how are you going to react? Today wasn't that day. I think Zadarius Smith, they're talking about Zadariah Smith, being you know being a guy coming from the browns who are definitely selling now they already were
Starting point is 00:19:51 definitely selling now i think people have come around to this thing we talked about a couple weeks ago zedarius smith to the to the lion so um i told you it'd be great move i think it would be a great move so um let's get to the uh the main event here for you eagles fans that were like oh we wanted to hear about what you thought about here's what i think we got to work on those two point uh plays huh? You know? Listen, I thought, I'm going to start with the good. I thought, I thought the play calls offensively were great. I thought generally the play calls were great. There were stretches of this game where it was like run, run, run. It was chunks, chunks, chunks. And when they went shots, they were pretty efficient. I mean, you know, I thought the use of motion early,
Starting point is 00:20:47 in this game orbit motion setting up you know your man ID sending somebody in motion knowing that you got man one-on-one sayquan barclay on savage it's a great way to start it off right um there were a lot of moments like that where I was like hey the offense is clicking they're doing the right stuff I thought Jalen played pretty well I mean his highs were really high he had some moments where it was like this close to being you know a disaster but No harm, no foul. I think it definitely at times in the second half dictated that they run the football because why not? You know, why not with this group?
Starting point is 00:21:27 So I thought, you know, Darby got picked on a little bit. Like you talk about Doug coming back to Philly. You know, Ronald Darby also played some big snaps in that stadium. And to be on the ass end of that catch, which to me, I'm a DeMonte Smith fan, like a fan. Not like, you know, I'm not an analyst when I watch him play. I am. But something about that guy, man, you know, just small, mighty, wiry, doesn't say much, just goes out and fucking does his job.
Starting point is 00:22:04 I mean, he's the type of guy you want to play with. And when the Eagles damn near give it away at the end of the game and somebody's got to go up and make an otherworldly play. And that's going to be the difference. And by the way, credit to the quarterback. for making the throw, right? That catch, to me, aesthetically, let me just be a fan,
Starting point is 00:22:30 was as aesthetically pleasing as almost any catch I've seen, you know, since I got out of the league. It's Kelly Green Day in Philly. You absolutely need it, albeit against the Jags. You look around the league. Bills are seven and two right now.
Starting point is 00:22:46 they played that you know that miami team played them tough today their two-win team jags just a couple wins on the season dugs coming home you damn near blow a lead you make mistakes we'll talk about those in a second but to to make that play it was a fucking thing of beauty that was gorgeous i mean that was like if it were for a if it were for like a if it were a bigger situation you build a statue that's a gorgeous looking freeze frame there you know um that was awesome so yeah i i uh the big plays were were amazing obviously i haven't even got to the sequan play which is like i've never seen that on a football field how many times do you get to say on a on a football sunday i've never seen that on a football field you know it's twice this week once some guy in college
Starting point is 00:23:43 stood on his head for a touchdown celebration. I swear to God, 30 minutes ago, I had yelled at my five-year-old, as much as I could yell at my five-year-old. I just raised my voice. And I said, you can't stand on your head on the fucking beam bag, kid. Not like that. But I just told my boy, Luke, I'm like, you got to protect your neck, man. Your neck's really important.
Starting point is 00:24:04 Like, what are you doing? And he lays back down on the beanbag. He's like, okay. He loves standing on his head. And then they're showing the highlight from this damn game. And I'm like, what do I tell him now? So then Amin Rae St. Brown does that today. But one of the wildest things that I saw really in my entire life was watching Sequin
Starting point is 00:24:29 Barkley do what he did today. I mean, like, Jukes, spin, he was just hitting buttons. You know, sometimes you just hit buttons in Madden. He was just hitting buttons. And it so happened like when he went hurdle, he hurtle backwards. I didn't even know people could do that. I didn't know people could have the awareness to do that. This trade, I mean, like, the acquisition of Sequin Barclay is the biggest no-brainer
Starting point is 00:24:56 of all time. Like some things, you know, when you hear it, you're like, what's the catch? There is no catch. There's absolutely no catch. Now, I feel for him because he almost was like that fumble, which wasn't him, really. I mean, I didn't think that was a fumble. If you're asking for me what my opinion is on a call like that, I don't know what the ruling is.
Starting point is 00:25:20 The guys on the broadcast were pretty fucking confused as well. As the second half has kicked off here, I can see it in the reflection. I'll get up. That's the hook for me. But I don't know what the rule is on that thing. But let's do it this way. The ground can't cause a fumble. And if it's not obvious that, you know, the tackler caused the fumble in any way,
Starting point is 00:25:41 then we should just not call it a fumble. I mean, like, to me, I know he got his foot, and if by the letter of the law, and I'm not sure, I'm not pretending to be sure here, you know, as he's following, if the ruling is that he stepped on, you know, his teammate, and if that's the rule there, if you step on your teammate,
Starting point is 00:26:00 then, you know, all bets are off or whatever, then so be it, but I think that's just a weird way to call that. I don't know. I don't know how you all feel about that. Let me see other comments. What's the Madden button for Seam's play? How are you going to jump backwards?
Starting point is 00:26:19 Like a double down on the joysticks or something like that. I've never seen anything like it in my in my life. Now like, listen, you got to protect the football and all that. But that's one that I didn't even know existed. I also thought the branch, going back to officiating, I thought there were a couple terrible calls in that bubble. game i thought uh i thought the holds in the red zone were were pretty bad um and uh you know i didn't like that one in the eagles game there that uh and i didn't like the branch ejection i
Starting point is 00:26:54 didn't you know i i just um i can't make up my mind on it honestly like sometimes i know it's my job to be sure of shit but i'm just not sure like depends on what you're what you're saying it's more maybe that that we are ejecting guys you know like i feel like an ejection should be reserved for the absolute worst but he did kind of seek him out so if that's what the letter of the law says you know there was an opportunity to get out to not run through him he did contact him directly with his helmet i also thought that the uh the play in the um in the bills game was just as bad so the consistency to me is kind of like a little bit all over the place um i'm not really sure what they're doing sometimes um somebody said fuck seriani i had the eagles minus seven that's why you got to tease the eagles
Starting point is 00:27:42 bills guys but as for seriani um i'm gonna take the good with the good today there were some moments that were ridiculous to me i mean you know i would have definitely gone up 17 nothing i probably would have kicked late in the game to go up nine late in the third but if i'm not going to kick late in the game to go up nine i probably give the ball to my best player sayquan you know and maybe that's initially what they were trying to do but then your eyes got to get back and make the throw inside or something, you know, it's just too many mistakes in those situations as an offense. And, you know, in a twisted way, I know I'm not supposed to be laughing at this shit, but as a sports fan, you know, it was pretty damn funny to watch. You know,
Starting point is 00:28:32 Siriani, line up, hey, we're trying to draw them off. Then they're like, we didn't draw him off. He goes to the sideline. They're like, we're kicking a field goal. He's got his hands at his pockets. probably he's sitting on his hands and uh and then you get a uh a damn penalty and you and you just watch you watch him and he's just like oh fuck i got to make a decision i got he's like i got to go for it and and he and he did and um you know i understand that the analytics on this thing are simple if it's 85 percent or whatever i heard you'll always have an argument to say hey we we take that chance but I think in the 15% chance you don't get it in that situation, there's a chance your house burns down.
Starting point is 00:29:18 Do you really think you're going to need these points? If you do, you're going to have ego on your face. If you don't get this thing, nobody's going to know this if you just kick the damn ball. I hate to sound this way, but sometimes self-preservation is the best thing as a coach. Like you kick that ball. We're not even talking about it.
Starting point is 00:29:34 And late in the game, I mean, maybe you kick, maybe you go, but I like to see better execution there. defensively bond played his ass off Josh Sweat played really well Talk about sending away You know poor Trevor Lawrence there a little bit You know send away Cam Robbins And he's playing on Sunday night football right now
Starting point is 00:29:53 And that left side of the line couldn't pick it up So You know Cooper de Jean Is really like honestly the story of the season So far for me defensively If you talk about the difference between the beginning of the year and now he might be the story of the season period for the eagles because i think the biggest burning building for me coming out of the first couple weeks was defense and wondering if they were
Starting point is 00:30:18 ever going to be able to play aggressive and i think that having him on the field really helps him play aggressive and um you know it's a shame he doesn't have an irish last name i think i think honestly he would be they built him a damn statue honestly they would or an italian last name you know uh The whole fictional character statue thing in Philly. My son thought Rocky was real. He has a Rocky T-shirt. Rocky was fighting Apollo Creed on the t-shirt the other night. He's putting it on before bed, and I'm sitting in the bed waiting to tuck him in.
Starting point is 00:30:58 And he's like, putting on his shirt. And he's like, Dad, is that Rocky? I'm like, yeah, it's Rocky. He goes, is he fighting Muhammad Ali? I said, no, son. That's Apollo Creed. And so this is not real. So I'm going to have to show him the movie.
Starting point is 00:31:16 But Cooper Gene would have a damn statue if he had an Irish and Italian last name, I'm pretty sure. You know, a French slot corner. He's playing his ass off. I mean, like, he's every short-yardage situation. I mean, Sinceree short-yardage, short-yardage this week, fourth and one. You can't be DPI behind the damn line of scrimmage. you know really good man coverage he was right there on a third and five later in that game where it was like tightly contested i mean he's right on it so really really like cooper de jean
Starting point is 00:31:50 and uh zack bond a really sneaky good signing you know i think credit bow allen and you know our show generally because we talked about this in the off season this is going to be a good pickup and to kobe dean i'm so happy for that dude you know i know it's been a probably up and down road for him. But, you know, to make a play like that, what a scene at the end of the game there, 50-50 ball, which you probably don't throw into a running back like that, especially that running back. And the Nkobi Dean just coming down with it, getting mugged in the crowd, just jumping up there, a little link leap, and, you know, a moment for a young player who probably in a lot of people's eyes hasn't delivered the way, you know, they imagined him delivering. But I never,
Starting point is 00:32:38 ever listen i've been the guy i've been a draft pick it is not easy and sometimes the whole damn city is looking at you like hey why aren't you why are you doing the best you can you know it's like he he you know he's playing his ass off he's doing the best he can he's improved a lot over the course of the season and i think honestly fan gos got the best out of him so um really really really good performance for some of the guys and jake elliott from the logo i also didn't love you know i know you've seen this movie with alana but uh you know they got half as far to go because you kicked the ball from the damn logo um what else guys anything else i'm gonna tell my grandkids about nick seriani one day seriously i'm gonna be sitting at the table and be
Starting point is 00:33:26 you should have seen him he was like if they grabbed somebody out of the stands six miller lights deep it was like go coach your heart out dude And I'm talking about the good with the bad. Okay, on a day like today, I told you, I'm going to take the good with the good, which is that team came ready to play. And as he said after the game, it was all about players making plays. And when the players don't make plays, we blame the coach. When the players make plays, we can give the coach some credit too.
Starting point is 00:33:56 I did not like some of the decisions, but that team came to play. So, um, some, how often does Sierra only need to shave his head? Is this something that needs to happen? i don't know but his his hair's growing pretty good and um hannah she paid one 99 i don't know how this works but she paid one 99 chris is seriani allergic to taking easy points yeah yeah he's like it's like uh it's like a shellfish allergy they kick field goals and his face starts to swell up dom's got to get him like you know like some sort of medication um i don't know who he's on the
Starting point is 00:34:37 headset with talking to you know about the decisions there but he's on the headset having spirited debates with somebody or debates or conversations with somebody deciding whether or not to kick a extra point or go for two at the uh at that 16 nothing point anyways listen somebody uh 1012 benedger he needs an epi pen he's definitely talking to himself um So Dander has said, I may be in left field with this thought, but I think Elliot not picking kickoffs is icing in for field bowl attempts. That's interesting. I mean, you know, shit, we're just throwing darts here.
Starting point is 00:35:20 I do it a lot. I'm not really sure. But I just thought that was a big game for the defense in a lot of spots. Now, listen, they give up too many points, but it doesn't help. The game script does not include, like, hey, when we go up 228, we're going to fumble the ball, and Trayvon Walker's going to run it back for a damn touch. shone so um in summation kind of a mid slate slate was mid um somebody said chris the headset isn't connected to anything that's so funny can you imagine if he's just doing his inner monologue out
Starting point is 00:35:58 loud with a headset that's the funniest thing i've i've i've read so i love y'all i love you all even if it wasn't great um and uh listen tomorrow's going to be fun it's going to be interesting i want you all to tune in two o'clock live show um bangles not cook we'll see what nate has to say about the bangles they're not cooked although i didn't watch any of that game i'm going to have to watch tonight just a little peek under the hood here probably second half here i'm going to watch about one and a half games wake up tomorrow watch another five six seven of them tomorrow we're going to be debuting a segment called flyover games, which are the games that we did not get to watch. I just wanted to explain this to fans of the show. I've kind of hit a point where on this
Starting point is 00:36:48 Monday show later in the year, there's some games that spending an hour looking at all 22 of Panthers, Saints, it's not in the cards for your boy. I mean, it's going to slow me down. It really does. I mean, I try to do the other games and you're like, damn, I can't serve you all. So I'm sorry to a couple fan bases a week here going forward we'll catch you on the friday show i'll catch up on you know hey panthers and saints and that sort of thing on the friday show but i'm not going to tell you the other couple games i didn't watch you know i still need you to come to the damn live stream you can learn on the live stream uh chris do you think they trade for running back to give sayquan help he's on pace for 350 carries. No, you ride him into the ground in the spirit of, that's what the running back
Starting point is 00:37:37 guys would want. And then we try to win a damn Super Bowl. So, anyway, hey, I thought Bo Nix looked good before a game got out of hand. Reed? He did some good balls. Nice catch too. Nice catch. You see him go up and get it? Oh, I did. That's got to be, hey, I'll talk about, talk about something somebody's getting razz for. I'm telling you, they're razing. that DB that got dunked on by Bone Nicks tomorrow in the damn meeting. So, um, all right, y'all. It's been fun. I'll see y'all tomorrow at 2 o'clock.
Starting point is 00:38:14 Ignore the Giants. I might ignore the Giants. I really might ignore the Giants. Although Dexter Lawrence should win damn defensive player of the year if he has 18 sacks. I will die on that hill. Y'all take care.
