And BG played great, running him out of the two sacks at the end of the game for BG and Jalen Carter. They split one. BG got one solo. Those are huge, right? But that defense, just the heroics of that goal line stand. I mean, at that point, I think they're up 11 points. But for Dallas to go all the way down there and the deflation of Dax scrambling, and it's Slay and Dack at the goal line and Morrow.

and it was just like a fucking, it was NFC East vintage football. It was like when you watch the highlights of Eagles, Cowboys, or Giants, Cowboys, or those games back in the 90s where people were decapitating each other. And it was like all of America was watching in the 4 p.m. slot, everybody was watching that blade of grass. And they defended it like their lives dependent on it. Welcome to the Greenlight podcast.

NFL Week 9 in the podcast. books, Chris, Kyle, and Dr. Falkas, all recap it from Studio J. You know what the biggest games are. It was in Germany. Kansas City versus Miami, the end of that game. What was Tua doing? We break it down. The 425 game Eagles Cowboys. You were watching us on the live stream. The Eagles defense came up huge. BG with the sack and a half in the fourth quarter. What does it mean for the Cowboys? What does it mean for the Eagles or the Eagles are the Eagles the best team in the NFC? And talking about the best team in the whole league. Is it the Ravens? Might be the Ravens. It looks, it's looking like it's the Ravens, the most complete team for sure. And then we also get into the late one, Sunday night football,

Bill's versus Bengals. Joe Burrow has his troops looking great. Defensive side of the ball stood up strong. We get into those games. We also get into Josh Jobs. We also get into C.J. Stroud. All NFL week nine games broken down as well as our America's teams, as well as our Miller late moments. Enjoy these takes. Enjoy these recaps. We will catch you on Wednesday. We had wire-to-wire great football. Kyle, do you want to start us off with your America's teams? With my America's teams, I'm going number one, the Oregon Ducks. You know, there's not really many dominant one-win teams or one-loss teams in the country,

but, you know, I know you saw Alabama this week. We're talking about that. The Eagles. Best one-lost team in the country, the Oregon Ducks. Dominant. You were making fun of me this week. I was rooting for Anthony Calendrea and the Wahoos, and you said you can't even cheer for the Wahoos.

You know what? I'm not a hater. I'm a lover. Do we burn that kid's red shirt? Yeah. We had a terrible week. Virginia's for lovers. Oregon duck here, and I'm a Virginia, so I love everybody, including the Oregon Ducks.

Number one, America's team. Number two, I'm going with Army, not the Army. Hoodwink you there. We were going to war for a second. Which we, you know, not for this pod. Okay, maybe tomorrow's pod we talk about that. But Army, they went and they beat previous. Undefeated Air Force.

You know, they prove the ground game just gets it done. It's been doing it for millennia. Yeah. Armies win. They love that. They love to stick to the Air Force guys. Armies win.

You talk to some Army guys, they really have a little, like, friendly rivals. You know, I want to go, like, drink with these guys. You know, I feel like if their campuses right next to each other, that would be awesome. It would be like a Hollywood movie.

Yeah. Yeah. Yelling slurs across the street of each one of their, yeah. Army sucks. So number three, the Bengals. You know, this is where the list gets real for me here, the Bengals. Joe Burrow, we talked about it before the show.

It's just, I love how much I hate to love Joe Burrow and how talented he is. I mean, I root for him, then I don't want him to do too good because he's going to end up beating the Chiefs. You know what I'm saying? But at the same time, he slides, smiles, and points for that first down, like such a Joe cool. I mean, he's Joe cool, bro.

And he's playing like an MVP right now. That could be a lot uglier. He's playing like an MVP right now. You know what I mean? Like he just had to be a heartthrob, too. He's playing like he's listening to everyone, talk shit about him. If he walked in that door, I could put his eyes off.

Here's the thing about the Bengals. We'll talk to him about it a little bit. I don't think anybody was ever shitting on Joe. Yeah. And people were more curious, like, what they were doing with the injury and then, like, as a team, why they weren't looking. Because even defensively, we got a lot better.

We'll talk about that. A lot better defensively, they're able to run the ball. We're going to talk about it, as you alluded to. So number four, the Eagles. And they knocked off one of my weekly American's teams, the Dallas Cowboys and a huge rivalry week. I'm going to just call it what it is. It's America's matchup.

Dallas Cowboys. And FC East. Philadelphia Eagles. A lot of people say Bears Packers. And it's gotten away from that, unfortunately, as a former bear, I wish it was held in a higher regard. But right now it's the Eagles,

and it's the Cowboys, that's the rivalry. And, you know, three times, that's what we're going to get. Maybe. Wow. Cowboys get out of the first. Wow, wow, wow. So the Eagles, awesome. Jalen Hertz.

You know, it's funny about Jalen Hertz, he's always dinged, but he's never, like, injured. Like, he's always hurt, but he's never injured. He's the walking delineation between hurt and injured. The limping delineation. And that's America. We're just getting by here. Like, we're doing enough. We have everything we need, but barely.

Mm-hmm. You know what I mean? Number five, the Texans. You want to talk about a team who has more than enough right now. Is this C-SPAN? The Texans. The Texans, what's more fun than having an elite quarterback on a rookie deal.

Kingston and I talked about this earlier. There's all these teams that are trying to build an NFL Super Bowl roster. They're trying to go out and do moves in the offseason and make these big trades for position players. But the Texans were like, we're going to get the right coach and we're going to go get the quarterback that we're going to get. And CJ Stroud was like hitting the lottery for them, you know, 450 plus yards.

We're going to talk more about him as the show goes on. But the Houston Texans, everybody's rooting for him. I love them. Houston Texans. Houston Texans. Love the Houston Texans. All right. My Americans, Americans teams.

I'll have American teams. They are Americans teams. First off, really, there's only going to be two this week. Number one is going to be Alabama. Yeah. Okay, I got to go down in Tuscaloosa, T-Town, as they call it. First time. First time, first time in an SEC game,

everybody, first off, is really cool down there. I mean, you know, like really hospitable. It's not like anybody knew who the fuck I was. Yeah, I mean, I would be, too. Like, welcome. You're down there. Come check this out. It's like the scene of big fish, that small town he goes to that's not real.

I haven't seen big fish. It's right up real. Any big fish? Okay. It's SEC country. So I get down there and I go down with Bad Back Backy and Tom. Ryan Rosillo has invited me. He's invited me every year to come down on these games and usually I'm like, no, I'm not going to leave home.

This weekend I did it. Shout out to my wife, Meg, for giving me the past to head down there. We had down Saturday morning. We went to an LSU tailgate. It was incredible. LSU really does it like nobody does it with the tail. does it with the tailgating. But things got real when we got to Brian Denny Stadium.

When I walk through, you know when you get to a stadium, the big reveal when you walk through a state, like out into where your seats are and you see it. Because from the outside, all these college stadiums, they look the same. Not all of them. But then you walk in and I felt like fucking Forrest Gump, dude. I felt like I was home. You know, like I just felt I was like, I have nothing to do with this school, but I don't want to leave, man.

I don't want to leave. The colors, the pom-poms. You took a visit there in 2000. 2003, 4. I didn't. If you did. If I did. You would have committed, right?

Yeah. Especially if I was on mushrooms. Yeah. This place is incredible. I walked through the tunnel and I just, it just opens up and it's huge and, you know, like their light shows are amazing. The whole thing. My kids are going to go to Bama. Me and Tom and Kevin decided on the flight home.

Our kids are going to Bama. I'm getting a fucking flag. Everybody's going to be like, what's up with the Alabama flag? I'm like, if you haven't been to Tuscaloosa, don't, you know. Like soon as I got home, we get dinner table. I was like, you're going to Bamma. Roll time. I turned into the varsity blues coach.

Fire that fucking pigskin, son. You're going to go play for Nick Saving. That's how I feel about Alabama. Some of the best moment, though, was probably at the end of third quarter. I hear they play Dixieland Delight, which great song. Me and Reeve were singing it on the river floating down in the river and the pumpkin a couple weeks ago. I had no idea I was going to hear it in this setting. Kyle, when I tell you, they play the whole thing.

song and it is like it was like a bucket list thing that I didn't even know it was on my bucket list yeah it woke me up and had me charged up for the fourth quarter I can't even imagine it's maybe a bunch or something every time and you're like you know this guy he's a rock eater but he's actually really a rockie a really cool guy and and glennie balls is great but the best part was rolling up to the LSU tailgate and Shane Gillis was there oh so so I'd shame before a couple times I feel like but not like just in passing and he's an Eagles fan and that sort of thing so we're shooting the shit about the Eagles I'm like where you going later talking about this bar we're going to the same bar so we end

up getting in the bar and after the game he had gone into the game in a t-shirt after the game he had like a central casting Harvey Updike the ugliest letterman jacket you've ever seen it had the fucking the elephant on the shoulder it had all the national championships that Alabama's won and I was just crying last watching him take pictures with a hundred, twenty-five-year-old dudes in that ugly ass jacket. It was great to see Shane. It was great to see those guys

who were great to hang out with Ryan. That's great marketing, though. Go down there, get a crimson tie jacket, hang out at the bar, post up with all the bros. You know the face he makes that I can't make? Like, that's the face he was sitting in the corner making that face. And I was like, you look like an Alabama fan, bro.

And so, no offense. And the best part was I actually got kind of hammered drunk, Kyle, which I don't do a lot anymore. People feeding you fireball shots and that sort of thing. Oh, boy. And this big strapping Alabama cat walks by. He's probably 6'5-270.

So I'm leaning on the table like this. And he comes by and he puts his arm on the table. And he's like, what do you say, son? And I'm like, ha. John Phillips walks up. And he walks by about two feet. And in my drunk brain, I'm like, you know what, fuck it.

Let me do this. I'm like, hey, come back here. So we get into an arm wrestling match in the middle of the bar. The cell phones are coming out. I'm like, oh, fuck, what have I gotten myself into? Because this guy's got me by 20 pounds. And he's a Bama guy. And so I'm starting to be like, well, my shoulder.

And he's like, I've had two surgeries, son. 35 seconds, bro. I'm in a fucking a death match. It's a war of attrition. Oh, my God. My arm is cramping. I felt it the next morning. Eventually, I had to get off my seat and get better footing.

and I finished him. But Kyle. Finished him. I finished him. Kyle, it was... Took the fucking fight to the road. Yes. Yeah, that travels, Kyle.

That's like the ground game. But I met so many cool people down there. I just love Tuscaloosa. I want to go to Death Valley. But that rivalry is awesome. Yeah, where are we going next? What's the next... Got to ask Uncle Ryan.

Okay. I want to go to West Virginia to see a game. I want to go sit in the noseway in Morgan Town and just enjoy that. Let's do it. Before this week. I thought West Virginia was maybe the team, if I'd have done it over again, didn't go to Virginia,

but it would have been Alabama. I'm going back to Alabama, Jimmy. Sometimes I think I would have been like a sooner. Oh, come on, Kyle. Couldn't even compare to this place. It was unbelievable. My second America's team, the Las Vegas Raiders.

Oh, wow. Okay. Las Vegas Raiders, we'll talk about them right here. You know, because I don't think we're going to break down that game. I don't think anybody thought, well, anything's possible with the Giants that we'd have to talk. turned to DeVito early in that game.

But that's about where it got out of hand. Daniel Jones, obviously, with the ACL. Hats off to him, he's a really tough guy. He's trying to stay in there and take another snap and that sort of thing. I think he initially maybe heard it on that Crosby sack. Crosby, by the way, hat trick. He tells everybody, come check out the game

and then he's a little, man, yeah. Show it up. Check this out. All these people watch. Yeah, all the people watch, three sacks for my boy. And just like for Antonio Pierce, He is the ultimate interim head coach. Like this was the spot.

I gave this, I gave out the Giants. Gave my locks yesterday. Fucking New Orleans misses a chip shot to cover. Then the Giants, you know, they, Danny Dimes hobbles to the sideline. I'm like, it's over because from the minute Antonio Pierce was named the interim head coach, I knew we were in trouble. It's just a spot where guys play big for a guy they love. And when you heard the story last week that they actually, Josh McDaniels, like,

hey, my players don't like me, Antonio Pierce. you help me get better liked and he nails it he hits out of the park by all accounts and then at the end of it he makes some comment about like when they beat the patriots and josh freaks out and he's like you don't talk to the patriots like that which if josh said that i'm sorry i love josh because he was with me in new england that is the lamest shit in the world and that is why people don't like certain new england people is because it's like it's untouchable what is the patriot way we'll talk about that in a little bit i don't know what it is because it's not it's not working in new england and you certainly can't walk into a new building

and be like, this is about the Patriots when you haven't done shit, not at your first stop or your second stop. So the fact that the players, like, look at Devante Adams' face when Antonio Pierce is delivering that post-game speech. Guys are bought in. For what?

They're not going anywhere this year. They just want a chance to win. You know how hard it is to play in the NFL on a bad team and show up every Sunday and it's almost a certainty that you're going to lose? It is... Make it interesting. Make it fun.

It is trying. on your mental health, you feel like your career is slipping away, you feel like people are watching you and not getting a good idea of who you really are because you're not putting in the right positions to win. Antonio Pierce for one week did that for these guys, and he instilled the confidence in them to do that. And the best part is they didn't get down at the half because if you heard this, when Antonio Pierce was a high school coach,

his team was up by 60 points or something at the half, but they weren't executing, so he had them run gassers at halftime. Okay, so he's got the, he's got the, and they won by like 70. So, like, I guess the first drive of the second half, they were like, but Antonio Pierce is, is our kind of guy, dude.

You know, if you played on an NFL team, I've been around the guy, he is our kind of guy. Not only a player, but like a dude, like a real player in this league, a guy that played in an era that came before, the one that I played in, really. I mean, if you think about it, these guys are, they're a bit older than it.

It's a different brand of football, and if you can have guys like Dan Campbell, Antonio Pierce, inject that adrenaline immediately into your team. You know, obviously Campbell's been the slow drip and we saw some ups and downs there, but like they've been steady climbing, the Raiders looked awesome.

And to your point, when you don't have a purpose, when you're on a bad team, nobody knows who you are, and it happens time and time and time again. You start to think, this is who I am. And we talked about this for those of you who don't watch our show or listen to our show all week.

We talked about this last week on the preview show, but like the Raiders job is not an attractive one. Okay, like they don't have a lot of cash, from an ownership group standpoint. It's not like they're stacking capital. They didn't ship anybody off. They fired Josh the same day as the trade deadline. Didn't get anything for anybody.

So I don't think it's like an extremely attractive job. But, you know, like the Raiders might be thinking long and hard if they show more fight. And if, because I've heard things behind the scenes about them liking Antonio. Like he's a real option. And Rich Vasatchez-you goes, whatever, seven and five with them or something. And, you know, like, that's a, when you look back at Rich and the fact that you fired him because you didn't like the offensive game plan against Cincinnati, but you didn't score 20 points all fucking year this season,

all the offensive mishaps that they've had, all the underuse of Hunter Renfro, you extend him, you can't trade him because you extended him, but you're not using him. Derek Carr, you know, you give him a no trade clause, you bench him, you can't trade him, he walks, you get nothing, Waller, you trade him away. They have been awful. and you know like ziegler and mcdaniels eventually got what was coming which was like hey it's a production business so and how about the fans showing mark davis some love you walked out of the tunnel and all the fans

were yelling thank you thank you yeah they saw he got a haircut yeah one and oh since the new haircut big him in him and irsday 90 million dollar hair cut just wild card fucking work with dance moves and i i just want to say this i know some people are i already had a tweet under like a mackaphy tweet because he was excited about Ursae dancing to dreams and nightmares. And, you know, an Eagles fan was like, hey, I expect you because you're not on the McAfee payroll to put Ursa in his place. I'm like, I don't care about the courts.

The Colts are not a threat, and they're not associated with Meek Mill at all. It might just be a song that Jim Ursa likes. If they want to make that their thing, the joke's on them. But if Jim Ursay wants to listen to some Meek Mill after the game and get down, I'm okay with it because the guy, is electric. Everything he does.

Hardo fans are the worst. Like, enjoy that guy. Enjoy the guy. Enjoy the guy. He's not a threat. I don't think it's personal. Yeah. Based on just what he's going to bring to dinner.

Him, Mark Davis. He's going to bring his helicopter. He's going to bring his aquatic four-wheeler. Oh, all kinds of science experiments, I'm assuming. So anyways, I just, America's teams. I mean, they're having cigars post-game. And he gave him off until Wednesday. Yeah, yeah.

Can we talk about this? I like it, Kyle. You like the cigars? Yeah. I love cigars. I hate the cigars. You had a problem with Brian Davel smoking cigars after the game. I think that's why they smoke cigars after the game.

I think that's at least partially why they smoked. And you know what I forgot? I forgot about my stance on the Dayball thing. I forgot the Daibol's even smoking cigars. He hasn't had a cigar in a while. But the Raiders thing, it was just funny to me, man. The chance of the throat cancer is the head coach of the Giants is gone way down because he's not smoking any Stogies anymore.

It's actually a silver lining for Brian Daibald. But they were smoking them stogies. in there in Vegas at a half time. And I gotta say, I don't know what it feels like to win in Vegas, no one does. But if they start winning in Vegas, that's gotta be pretty cool. If there is a vibe there. Just like Kyle said, all it did was open up the door

that the Super Bowl champs, there's gonna be cigars and blunts going around, everyone's gonna be waiting the light up in Vegas. That's for sure, but also it's like. No fire code in Vegas, no state tax, no fire code. Now you've set the precedent where you're like, we're gonna smoke cigars after wins. And then people are gonna be like, man, it's been a month, You know, Kyle, I'm not as worked up about the cigar thing.

I'm not worked up about it. Daniel Jones, they own what, 69 mil, something like that? So just to like put a bow on the Giants thing, they're in hell. Yeah. You know, Al Pacino. We're in hell right now. Bad day to be Daniel Jones, even worse day to be. Brian Davel.

You know, this is an awful situation in New York. And I feel bad for Giants fans. It's like you were the class of the NFL, everything that people, people respected about the NFL, NFC East Royalty, winning multiple Super Bowls, and now you're like, the new Browns almost. I mean, it's not that bad. You're so bad at being your, but you're writing your story

as one of the dumpster fires. Is there seven straight game with less than 20 points? I mean, yeah, insane, dude. So those are the America's teams, you know, this is China's team, New York Giants. You know, for gay- communist fugazi

you know something about the means of production well it's not working expensive shipping logistics just don't make sense they're not producing okay so anyways we are somebody's mad about that

somebody's like wait all right get the fuck over it you're gonna really be mad as we talk about Miami and Kansas City if you're a Dolphins fan let's hear a message from our sponsor

That is Copenhagen.

Oh, you're talking about an Emmy. I think it's an Emmy. Yeah, well, that will be Copenhagen, Wednesday. You just want an Emmy. Shout out to Adam Shine. Shout out to Adam Shine. So Adam Shine, awesome host for CBS. He is so good.

We love Adam Scho. He has his own. You know, Time to Shine is a show that he does. He's got the Adam Shine podcast radio show on the Sirius X-M network, I believe. And he's not afraid to say what the fuck he wants to say. And he's got great opinions. He backs him up with facts. Sometimes he may be a popular opinion, but he's great.

And oftentimes when we get done with a segment and they say clear, which means you guys at home can't hear us anymore. He'll turn to the guys behind the camera. Go, do you guys smell that? I'd be like, what's that Adam? I'll be like, that's an Emmy. I think that smell showed up yesterday when you, you know, you know, he'll be like, you guys, you predicted that C.J. Stroud was going to go for over 400 yards. Sometimes the blind dog, blind squirrel, whatever the fuck it is.

Blind dog gets a fucking... Sometimes the blind dog finds an 18-wheeler. Sometimes the blind dog finds a... Speaking of... Yeah, I saw Wilcompton laying in the road this past weekend because the Nebraska Corps officers didn't get a win. He said, I will play in traffic if they don't win. Oh, my God.

Next picture. I have to eat a hat. Not this hat, luckily. I like this hat, but if the Washington commanders... They make beef jerky hats, I'm sure of it. I'm going to have to eat a hat. Any hat? I was my VA hat, my paddle VA hat, which has been through the ringer.

I don't want to eat that hat. Okay. Yikes. So Miami, Kansas City. This was a big one. And it was a big one for the Chiefs because, look, like, they haven't lost two games in a row in a while. They lose last week, division game.

It feels like a year ago. And that whole year, relatively speaking, the worst thing at home, they're going. going through it on the practice field, the whole thing on the plane out to Germany. And this was one they could not lose. For a lot of reasons, number one, you need that home field advantage, you wanna stay out in front.

Number two, you lose to the dolphins, you give this team life. Don't give this team any life. They know, and I think this is the problem with the dolphins. And you know, you talk about blind squirrel, finding a nut, blind dog, find an 18 wheeler. People thought I found an 18 wheeler the last two years when I've been talking about

the dolphins being kind of paper tigers, That's who they are. Until they prove otherwise, that's who they are. And until they prove it to themselves that they're not, I know it's in their head when they take the field in big situations. And Mike McDaniel told his guys this last week going into the matchup against the Chiefs.

He said, look, this is gonna be a big trip for us. And I want you to understand that when we get back home on American soil, there's gonna be two narratives that are being talked about, one of two, one of which is this is a Super Bowl contender. The other is these guys are frauds. And he said, don't believe either of them. You know what I'm saying?

Like, you can't believe either of them. Well, he can't say, don't believe that we're fraud. But my point is, my point is this. You're absolutely right. In all the games that they've played against anybody. Anybody. They haven't done anything. And then they want to turn around, hey, the bills, we talk about them.

They're kind of fraudulent. You know, you talk about the bills. The only good team the bills have lost. I'm not even sure if they're that good because every time they play somebody, you know, they lose to a good team. So the AFC East might be fraudulent in general. I mean, like. The first 15, the first 15.

the first 15 was great from the chiefs and they knew they had to start fast. They're on the road. They lose a home game at Arrowhead against, you know, one of the best you know, if you want to have a home game, you want it to be against a team that does what the dolphins do offensively. You want to make it tough, muddy up the communication.

And they go on the road, they're able to start fast. They get down the field and score early with their first 15. Clean red zone execution. Obviously, going up 21-0, I'm laughing, having a great time in the studio. Next thing you know, it's a damn close ball game. But look, the turnover to Tyree Kill, McDuffie showing up in a big way, making that stop,

getting the ball out. It's so on brand for the Chiefs to be doing laterals. Because in practice, that's what they do. Like if Travis catches a corner route, you know, 15-yard corner route, on his way back to put the ball back, they're doing laterals the whole way back. The DBs do it.

The receivers do it when they have the ball. It's part of having fun and playing ball in Andy Reed's culture. And you got to see it with the defense. They lateral the ball. and then cook the fastest ball carrier, I think, on the field. Of the weekend maybe? Yeah, off the weekend maybe.

I mean, it was like... Somebody's going to be like, he was not. It was him running by supercars. You know what I mean? Like when he had that ball and he really strided and strode. Strode? Stride, strode.

And made that extra effort for the score. It was awesome. And it's indicative of this football team. And we talked about the chiefs kind of replicating and doing their own version of what the Patriots have done with their dynasty. It's not going to be pretty old.

all the time. Not every year. It's not going to be great a short term. But you're going to win football. You're going to win more than you're going to lose and you're going to have a chance to win every single football game you're in. I think they did a great job on both sides of the ball of taking turns to take control out of this game. And, you know, like the offense,

people talk about, hey, where was Kelsey? Right. Well, look at that first drive. I mean, like, the gray and Watson plays. The gray shot. You know, it's drawing Howard into the flat. That's what Kelsey did. made that possible. The, you know, the Watson drop in the end zone. They eventually scored anyways,

but he gets that play as wide open as it is because he's drawing defenders into the corner of the end zone. Everybody's eyes are on him on the McKinnon touchdown. So even when Kelsey's not getting a bunch of balls, he's helping. I want to see more yak out of Rishie Rice. I think he's your best guy with the ball in his hands, not named Cadarius Tony, but Cadarius Tony is a sketchball.

We don't know what the fuck he's going to do, playing and play out. Round my part of that. I mean, so, and when they take shots, Kyle, I can't go off MBS's hands. I mean, they've had drops this year. We all know about. Beautiful ball, too.

We know about week one with Tony. We know about last week, money down, fourth down, you get a drop in the end zone. This is not a team that's going to have a million opportunities to hit these explosives. So when you get them,

you have to hit them. Now, the mistakes that repeat themselves, like the sack fumble was almost a repeat of last week. You're in third and long a lot late in the first half. You're in third and 18, third and 20 in third quarter, third and nine in the fourth quarter. And then the special team's mistake that repeated with the me, Cole Hardman thing, you know, he doesn't drop the ball, but he fair catches the ball in the two-yard line.

So there's a lot of things that are popping up with this team that are making them human, including a Chris Jones penalty that gave them life. And if you remember Chris Jones last year, and I know he's frustrated. They're doubling him, they're sliding to him, and some of the time, somebody will say something slick. And I'm like, where do you get off calling me, whatever you just called me? It takes three of you motherfuckers to block me. The whole game plan is me, but you're frustrated. You get the late shove.

It happened in Indy last year when they lost the Colts. And I thought this is going to be a repeat. I forgot about that. When you look back and it's like, I think he hit Matt Ryan or something or somebody. But the drive starts. When that one game, we were like, what the fuck, Chief? Yeah, well, nothing to worry about. The drive starts, they're not great two weeks in a row in spots.

And my biggest complaint about the Chief's offense, I don't want to make this all about the mistakes, but I thought Mahomes was really gutsy in spots, and they did what they had to do. They ran the ball into light boxes because Fangio was just, hey, two shells sitting back. The biggest thing that I hated was, at the end of the game, you come off the sideline.

Nagy has choice words for the offense. They're in passion. You're hearing all this bullshit. And then you drop back and throw the ball in third and one, Kyle, with 236 to go. You know what? I hate it, Kyle. You can tell me a lot, I hate it.

I know you hate it, and a lot of people hate it, but I'm going to be the, I'm going to be the, uh, I'm going to be the contrarian here and just tell you this. Look, if you throw that football, I mean, look, you want to run the football and get a first down, stay on schedule. But if you can't, if you got third and medium, and you do elect to throw the ball. Third and one, though.

But if it's third and medium or less, really, I want to run the ball. But if you are throwing the football in the situation, can't roll out, can't take a sack, can't have a turnover. In that situation, I would have been okay with taking the sack to force them to use one of their two timeouts. If you take a sack, if you take a sack, the game works out for you, but the season could go wrong. You can't take sacks if you're pat your mom.

Okay, well, then don't throw the ball. In my opinion. It's third and one, dude. You know, like just pick up a yard and you can ice this game. That's just no faith. And it showed up. I'll talk about it in Philly too. I hated Philly shot on third and three at the end of the game.

Hated the shot. You almost end up losing the game because of that. There's people in the chat saying Siriani should be fired over that call. Man, I don't know about all that. My man's coaching really well. But like Andy Reid, it happens to the best coaches in the world. I don't know. Like sometimes I just, I just hate the call.

And you could, hey. It's like how I want to go shotgun in the low red with Lamar Jackson. And JJ Watt told me the other day, don't ever fucking go shotgun in the red area. And I'm like, don't ever not go shotgun. Don't ever not go shotgun. So in this situation, I'm like, don't ever not put the ball on Patrick Mahomes's hands when you have an opportunity. So how about a run pass option or something at the sticks that used to be there. But I disagree there.

But I disagree still. I disagree still. Because, yeah, okay. I'm like... I always want the ball in his hands. Same way I always want the ball in Lamar's hands with opportunities to extend drives. That's fine, Kyle. I just...

And I don't want sacks. I feel like you can ice the game there. And then the Finns on defense, I thought they actually, they tightened up in some big spots and the covers was better in the second half. Two guys, Chubb. We talk about him and the ROI on that trade. He almost made... He did make two of the biggest.

his plays, especially had they won of his career, the sack fumble and then the pressure on third and one. Like these are big plays, huge plays to flip the, you know, get the ball in your hands or get the ball back on a short field. It worries me about the Chiefs being able to protect Patrick in big situations. Big situations. We saw it last week two times the pass rushers getting their hands chopping on Patrick's throwing arm during the motion. It's dangerous stuff.

I hate seeing people around Patrick. He runs the ball great. He usually gets out of bounds, but it's the stuff when he's in the stuff when he's in the the pocket that's catchy to me and they were Kyle they were trying to kill Patrick yesterday I mean like legally and in some cases like I was planning him I tried to kill him too sealer hitting him up top you know a couple times the Van Ginkle play on the sideline which you could say hey it's at the sticks or whatever but he got drilled there was one third and 18 where he comes up just short of the sticks he got hit so hard he just laid on the ground like this and I was like oh my god Patrick's dead but but like he's so funny

He makes me laugh so much. Because he wasn't dead. But the point is, like, Miami, Miami just, they just, they came out and they were like, we're going to make this thing chippy, we're going to make it muddy, and we're going to hit Patrick every chance we get. So credit to him for being tough as fun. Same thing that Spag said to their defense about Tyreek, though. Yeah. We're going to just glove him.

We're going to just play, man. We're going to frustrate these guys. We're going to force them to get over. And that's what they did, Colin. I loved it because they blitz 36 percent of the time. I said this last week. Even on early downs, press these guys. Some people were like, what?

Yeah, press these guys on early downs. They pressed 43 out of 58 plays. Sneed was putting those erector set arms on anybody he could touch. Now, sometimes he missed. But who's playing quarterback in these big situations? Okay? When the clock sped up, when you take away his first read, the facts are the fucking facts, guys.

The facts are the facts. When is my apology? When do you apologize to me for your takes? This is an apology game. Okay, because I've given it like seven games against playoff teams. They're averaging 14, 17 points a game in those games. I mean, not even playoff teams, sometimes just teams of winning records. It wasn't just two of though, okay?

Like, because I don't think he's the reason they lost this game. That final four sets of downs where they had four shots at it, there were some plays that were his fault. We'll talk about that. But, you know, you get a false start on Claypool on third and odd. You get the wide receivers backing them up on the second third and nine. You get a Jeff Wilson drop on third and ten. You get an intentional grounding that causes third and 26.

They're third and 20 before they get bailed out by Chris Jones. So they were not great as a team. Claypool saved their bacon on that fumble with most. So I got to give him credit there. But he's kind of a waste on the field. Like you get a tight end out there. They put him in and they had somebody lining them up. They had somebody lining him up, man.

Dude, that's the clear indicator. So there's some games where I want to say, hey, Tua's got to play back. And he does. Even the Jeff Wilson touchdown, the first one, was heavy traffic, buddy. Yep, yeah. That's sketchy ball territory. It was a great play.

Sketchy ball territory. So my point, but that's the only time they heard him on the blitz to Cedric Wilson. That's the only time they heard him on the blitz. So for the most part, you survive against these guys if you have good players on defense. Yeah, he was a running back. He was in Miami too.

So it happens. But like, they blitzed them, they pressed, they weren't afraid. And then when it got down to the, to, nut cutting time. These are the four plays. First down, and this is really interesting. I got to check out the All-22,

because last night I was at home with my shitty internet. Thank you, Elon. And it's first in ten. They have Tyreek. Tyreek is open at the sticks. And this is 90 seconds to go on the 31 or whatever it is.

He's open at the sticks. I think Mike Dana puts his hand up and he gets in that throwing window and Tua has to go away. But the thing is, he just panics. He turns the other way. He throws the ball blind. It's almost picked off.

Second down, miss. Third down, I have no idea what that is. I have taken time to consider that it could be a back shoulder fade. I have taken time to consider that he might be throwing it out. But the thing for me that looks funny is, number one, it's the wrong call because he's got that defender beat for a touchdown. We're going to overtime, or it's another drive for Kansas City. If you look at that ball compared to some of his back shoulder stuff,

I don't know if I see back shoulder. So I just think he got the yips. I think he got the yips last second, maybe realized he didn't make the right call, and it kind of, he just kind of halfway let it go. It was one of those like, holy shit, what was that? And everybody on the broadcast, nobody said anything. Everybody was just like, oh, missed opportunity. I texted Dan Oloskey this morning.

He hasn't answered me yet. I was like, what are we going with? Are we going with back shoulder fade? Because he's always giving me shit about my two it takes. Are we going back shoulder fade on that? Is that what we're going with? Dan did a great job yesterday. Him and Rich.

Him and Rich are great. McCordy's great. He's funny. So just in that situation, whether it's just a bad read, I'm not saying he threw that ball as hard as he could. Nobody, like fuck. It could be a situation like Josh last night where they called grounding on Josh.

The difference is this is a key situation in the game, and we got to have it, and your track record's not great in these games. So this was a huge opportunity on third down, and then on fourth down, Spag's going zero blitz, and the sight of it took his eyes off the snap. They said, wayward snap, catch that snap.

And I know Jalen Hertz dropped the stab in the fucking Super Bowl. You know what the difference is? Jalen Hurst is in the Super Bowl. It took him. He had to win a bunch of games to get there, and he's still winning those games against good football teams. So if you want to talk about the dolphins, the way you've talked about them for two years,

they have to show me. They have not shown me. So until that happens, I'm going to keep saying this on Mondays. You can fucking be pissed off about it, but I don't want to hear it anymore. I don't want to hear it anymore about this team. Because I've had to sit here for two years and be gaslighted.

And the stats going around is their 0 and 3 against teams with winning records this year. And some of it is the team. It's not all the quarterback. McDaniel is a great coach. But go out there and execute. All those penalties in the first half, and then in crunch time to do that, it's just, and Willie Gates, there's a big shout out, Kyle. He's a freak show.

With a tailbone, people weren't sure what they're going to get out of him? They've had so much production out of him. And you know what? With Bolton being sideline, Willie's been asked to step up and against this unit, like the Miami unit, all the challenges that you're going to face defensively for Willie to step up

and a lot of these guys are playing banged up at this point in the season and Chief's going into a by week. Andy Reid talked about it's bad enough to lose a game the way we did against Denver. But then you go to Europe if we lose this game here it would have been really tough and that's a long eight hour flight home.

Willie's got that eight hour flight on a tailbone and he goes out there and plays away. He forced second and 16 on that second to last drive. That was huge. They're at midfield. Once the dolphins are behind the sticks against a good team defensively, it's a lot harder. And so just getting that play on first or second down.

Hey, we said it. Press these guys. You're going to like what happens. Press them. Press them. Man them up. Don't be afraid of these guys. If you have the guys outside.

Patrick said they're going to be fine on offense. Don't be afraid. I trust them. Yeah. If there's somebody I trust, it's Patrick Mahomes. And he said, we're going to get this thing figured out. They asked him if it's the best defense he's ever played with. and he said, it's definitely, he said,

I think that we got the best defense in the league. Statistically, it's the best defense he's ever had. He's never had in above average defense, and this year finally it is abbreviated. It's kind of classy. Dynamite show's hand there too. Dynamite segue, though. Whose defense is better, Baltimore or Kansas City?

Because I'm not ready to say that. I'm not ready to say that. I'm sure they're better statistically and all that stuff, but I've seen this defense prove it in the postseason. And so part of it, for me, with Spags and Kansas City, like McDonald's doing a great job, they're talking about him as a head coach, maybe at some point. They are doing a terrific job.

But I just, I would give the nod to Kansas City until I see them not perform in big spots. And I got to see Baltimore do it down the stretch. Right now, here's what I think I realized about Baltimore yesterday. It's so easy to look at the sum of the parts. They don't have any superstars, right? Although I'd say Kyle Hamilton might be a superstar in the making. You know, you've got a, you've got a corner who's, you know,

a top five, seven corner, depending on how you look at it when he's healthy. The guys up front are good, but on paper before the season, it was a big question mark. Where are you getting your pass rush from? You bring in Clowny, that's a hit or miss year-to-year thing.

Matt of BK's got eight sacks. O.A. had a sack yesterday on a spin. But here's what I think about this defense that people don't realize. And maybe Seattle doesn't realize it looking at them on film. But when you roll into Baltimore and you look across from you,

you got that big motherfucker inside, You got Madabika, you've got those two big huge edge guys. O.A. looks like a fucking G.I. Joe. Clownie's huge. They're all, they're just big and physical. I think sometimes we, you can't measure that on film. And then the second level moves fast, and they're just as physical as the front. They're very physical on the back end.

Van Nuoy is playing great. Van Nuoy's playing great. He's had force accidents. He's been there. So like, they're physical. They rush well off each other. Van Nuoy had a T.E. that was like a natural.

They just, they're buying into the team defense concept. They remind me of the New England defense, the year we got all out over our skis about them. In 2018, I think it was, and we were like, they're historically good. We did this a month ago with Cleveland. Not so, right? They're not historically good.

They're very good. Baltimore might be better than that New England defense, though. And again, you didn't know where the pass rush was coming from, but they're leading the league in sacks. And you talk about a team that can take on the identity of the success that their offenses having to. I mean, you bring in a new guy, new offensive stuff for Lamar to feed on, and he's not at that, but we're not even at the bone yet.

He's still at the meat of that cut. Wait until he gets the marrow. And the defense is like, hey, look at them. We can grow too. I mean, I know, to your point, they don't have guys that are like world beaters all over the field, but as a unit, they're great. And Roquan Smith, it seems. like every big game that they have, he has something to say before the game.

And it's never disrespectful. There's your superstar. That's your superstar. That's what I think of when I think of the Ravens. I think about Roquan. That's your super star. Control in the middle of the field. He's doing the communication.

The Queen are awesome. But look, I played with him. He's a freak. And when he said something, I believe him. Just like when I talk about Patrick getting that offense ready. With Roquant says they're ready to roll, I think they're ready to roll. Dude, the guy's a stud. And, you know, we've talked a lot about how just it instills confidence in you

when you have a guy behind you is lining you up. And also when you know is one of those big guys, double teams are going to come off me. I'm going to see color flash through my gap and there's going to be a TFL. And, like, you know, he's just like a missile out there. And I thought they did a great job of making Gino uncomfortable. I mean, I don't know what happened on that pick.

If it's J.A. I think it was J.S.N. Or was it Locket. It was Locket. And, you know, like, here's what they said in the broadcasts was Tony and them were saying that he thought he saw zero. And so he just went there. and they bail it out and played coverage, right?

Whatever it was, there's too many of these with the Seattle offense, whether it's JSN bobbling a ball on third and five to start the game, which you can't do on the road. No third down you can take for granted against a better team on the road. Or it's the miscommunication with Tyler Lockett. These are two veteran players. I talked about it last week up in Seattle against Cleveland. There were a lot of little fuck-ups that maybe don't, you know,

it's an option route, somebody's taking the wrong way, or you don't know where you're putting the ball. I expect better out of that offense in the passing game and where they're really disappointing and the reason I don't take them that seriously and a week ago we're talking about, hey, they're in front of the Niners and the NFC West, the whole thing.

That's fine and they're a good football team, but I can't expect them to go win three, four games and get in the Super Bowl and win it if you can't convert on third down and you're terrible in the red zone. I hate to boil it down to something so boring, but until you do that, it's hard to take you seriously,

is what I've decided. Big, big tip of the cap to the personnel department in Baltimore. You know, you're bringing in all these guys all the time and trying to make the pieces work. And like you said, it's a unit more than it is, stars, and there are stars on the team. But one guy who stepped up big, rookie Keaton Mitchell, he had nine carries, 138 yards and a touchdown.

Undrafted rookie star in the making, question mark. That's what I wrote, 40-yard and 60-yard run. And you know what? his dad, Anthony Mitchell, won a Super Bowl with the Ravens as a safety. That's like so uniquely Baltimore. It is. But it was such a big lift that I don't think anybody saw. Like maybe if you're a Ravens fan, you know this kid's going to get some burn at some point.

It's supposed to be really fast. It looks even faster on the field. But there was one drive in the first half and one drive in the second half that they featured him, which is huge, right? Because if you're Baltimore, you know two things. We want to use this kid. We like him. And number two, every time we give him the.

the ball it's less chance that we're down another running back to Gus Edwards or with justice hill like a three-headed monster in that running back room really fits what they do because they ran the ball 44 times which also means they they came into this game expecting to run the ball against the team who was number one in in the NFL versus rushing you know and they knew running backs and Seattle Baltimore was like fuck it yeah plus Leonard Williams oh yeah throw Leonard Williams in the middle. It doesn't matter. And as much as I want to put the game on the defense,

because when you look at that, that fucking Seattle in plus territory, middle eight before the half, comes up with no points. They have two opportunities. In fact, they give it back to Baltimore, kicks a field goal.

I know it's a tough spot for you, but you come out in the second half as a defense and you know they're going to run the ball. The very first play, it's Gus Edwards for an explosive, and he's running through Witherspoon, and they're moving guys on the double, and it just felt like you come into the half,

you had to have an attitude of my backs against the wall as a defense at this point we're down 17.3. I always say stopping a score, stopping a score, you know, as a gambler or as a player who's used to being down in games. Being down 17 in a situation like that is so much different. You had to shut the door.

In the very first play, the second half, you weren't ready for the challenge. There's somebody I want to shout on on Baltimore offensive line. That entire offensive line gave Lamar a lot of time, except for the Maffei burst, which was great. I thought that was Mofay's most impressive sack of the season on Ronnie Stanley.

But John Simpson is a guy that keeps popping up for me when I watch tape and a guy that gets me excited. I talked about when they played Cleveland, the very first play of the game, where they ran for about 300 yards. Not that John Simpson. There's a, yeah, big old John Simpson, who I caught on a hot mic after one of the touchdown saying, I fucked that bitch up.

And I was like, who was that? I got to go back and see. So I went back, and I looked. and it only could have been John Simpson. I mean, he flatbacked somebody. He was a big part of that double team to start the second half. Go up, go up, yeah, right there. If you run,

the pre-draft measurables. Go to Mitchell's touchdown and watch what he did. This guy adds a physical element to that offensive line that fits who they want to be perfectly, and I just want to shout him out in the run game. I really like this guy. Not a lot of people talk about him, but he's got that attitude.

The first play of that Cleveland game, they were in counter or something like that, and he flatback Zadarius Smith, and it set the tone for the whole game. And so I really like John Simpson. I want to shout out one of your guys, Kyle, offensive lineman. They ask, they challenge him Saturday night in that meeting room. They say, hey, play one, big dog.

We're going your way. Play one. We're going to Big Zadarius, and they turn the whole teams in that room. Exactly, dude. They do that. The whole teams in the room. We're going to get out. We're going to get out.

I got challenged on Saturday nights. Not at the end, but at the beginning. Yeah. He's in that point in his career. You can make yourself the guy you want to be. That's awesome. Good shout out there. So shout now John Simpson and then also just, fuck a bitch, just Todd Monkin.

He might play himself into a fucking head coaching job. We were talking about this, which kind of sucks, because this offense is rolling and they can win different ways. Chicago. And if you look at, look at the Mitchell touchdown once more, it is hell for linebackers, whether it was Detroit coming to Baltimore, or whether it was Seattle coming to Baltimore, linebackers are in a blender early and often.

And if you watch the Mitchell touchdown, everybody split out so that, you know, because they can throw the ball and because they have a quarterback who right now is playing like the MVP. I got asked last week who's the MVP and I said oh it's either my homes if we're doing it off of who's actually most valuable but if we're just doing stats I'm trying to get him to a but if you want to give it to a quarterback who's doing most both things and playing it at a high level it's Lamar Jackson right now and um equal odds right

now both plus 350 him and my homes yep and that's the way it should be lower yeah he's got a little more work to do I'm gonna put my money we're sure yeah you like that You like that. You like that. You like that. But that Mitchell touchdown is a perfect example of why it's so hard on linebackers. You got one guy in the middle of field. He's got 30 yards of grass to cover.

Lamar's got the fake. He's carrying it out. His eyes are on him. It's like being a babysitter at a Mormon house, baby. Yeah. It's like, it's like Jared Hall's babysitter. It's a lot of going on. That's good, Kyle.

A lot of Zach Wilson's running around. Fucking, Darren, Darren Hall, unless met Joseph Smith yesterday at the goal line, dude. That was crazy. I think he talked to him for a minute. He talked to him for a minute. He did. He was like, go back out there, but maybe not this week, because Josh Dobbs is really good.

The Stone tablet was the field. Gino Stone, you had, you had. So Gino Stone is another example. We've got to shout him out. You're down somebody at safety. Marcus Williams has been up and down. This guy's been such a plus. You have to think about not taking them off the field.

So they have stepped up in a lot of ways. You haven't even gotten that much out of Beckham yet, which was a big theme yesterday. And I think he's pressing. because you get the ball out away. That fumble was tough. It was tough. But you're going to get better as a team.

They're built for December. There's guys that are emerging right now on the team. And then, guys, we were wondering, like, early this off season, what makes Mark Andrews so good? And I texted Zach Earths. Because sometimes with tight ends, I don't know. I'll tell you what makes him so good. Not only is he very good, but he plays in this fucking offense, man.

It's impossible for a linebacker to contend with everything they have to contend with and worry about one of the best past catching tight ends in the league. tough cookie as well. Are they the best coach team in the league? The Ravens? They're playing like it. They're playing like it. You mentioned their OC and DC as potential

head coaching candidates. They are playing like it. They're historically full paths in March in April. Yeah. They better play fucking good. But good job to them for ripping the bandit off and saying, hey, we want a new DC, went a new OC.

John didn't, maybe he had to do that, I don't know, but they did it and it's paying off. It would be cool if OC, you and Euro was an OC. What up, OC. I'm trying to think of somebody named D.C. It'd be cool if CD land was a CD. Okay. They were selling a lot of CDs in Tuscaloosa.

Ryan Rusillo was out shopping. He was shopping. They had a bunch of compact discs on the wall. Like it's not, I want to move to Tuscalo. Ced is cool. Okay. All right. Do they have an Apple store?

No, probably not. I'm out. Okay. Sinci and Buffalo. If we're talking about the AFC elites, golly, are they an AFC elite now? Because. Yes.

Who do you trust the most in the AFC? Joe Burrow. It's Joe Burrow and that defense. You know, the defense has been awesome. And Joe Burrow wasn't healthy early, but he's healthy now. And I'll tell you what, last week was a historical performance by Joe Burrow. He really did look like the MVP. And then you watch his bills game and you're like, he's doing it again.

This fucker's doing it again. And not even involving Jamar Chase. I was playing Counterstrike while I was watching this game. And I was in Discord with my buddy Jake, who was actually a greenlight listener. Shout out to Jake the Snake. And he was emotional. about the lack of involvement of Jamar Chase. And I was like, you should be giddy.

T. Higgins, he's dominating. Joe Burrow looks great. Joe Mixing. Orlando Brown's making blocks down the field. Gap scheme is working. The Bengals look awesome. Yeah, they do. And then Jamar made catches late.

He got banged up. He had the heat pad on for a bit, which is good. I think it had the copper fit in there because when he came back out there, he was looking like, you know, Jerry Rice. Dude, listen, and the, it's so striking when you watch this game. Because since he goes out there and their first 15 is like, it's intentional. They're running people through zones.

There's misdirection. There's a strong run game. There's stuff on the perimeter. People in the middle of field are running sideways. They're being set up to do something else, which is what's a trap. Which is what you have to do when you're calling a football game, right? you are presenting something and stressing people out. It's chess.

It's chess. Buffalo's not playing chess. I've never won it. Buffalo plays checkers. No, they do. They just try to get first downs. And, you know, whether it's an extended play where Josh has to take a while and maybe burn it or maybe something goes bad or it's something quick.

And, you know, like you can't throw that pick. That's cover too, man. You know, that is just it's basic shit. backed up. I don't understand that throw. And the juxtaposition of looking at them with no run game and just rolling out and doing the same thing. I talked about, I was encouraged that they figured out how to play with 11 personnel last week. It looked better on them. I thought their best drive of the game at the end of the third quarter, Josh, there was some quarterback run in there. But where it ends up is it ends up with a Dalton Kincaid fumble. And if they go in there,

I feel like they might win that game as bad as they played in spots. Dude, that fucking before the have to. That's not intentional grounding. And they go, and, you know, Collinsworth was pissed. He was even pushing back. Let me tell you what happened. Yeah. I'll tell you what happened. Yeah. Yeah. They go to the, they go to the guy in the booth. McCauley, what happened? Macaulay said, a quarterback, as long as he is, he throws the ball inbound. He can throw it over the head of the receiver. Outside the numbers. Outside the numbers, in bounds. So you agree here. You can throw it as far as you want. Let me finish here over the receiver's head. And that's what he did. But Terry McCauley, right after he described what the fucking thing is,

he said, yeah, but that's a little bit too far. And I'm like, hold on a second. Yeah. That's not intentional grounding. It's an option round. I thought it was awesome by Chris Collinsworth breaking it down in the moment. He said, let me tell you what happened. And I'm not, again, we go back to two his throw.

I mean, it's, they could both be miscommunications. So, I mean, like, grain of salt here, but it probably, it probably wasn't. Field position played a huge part in the Eagles, Dallas game. It's end of half. It's end of half, man. You get three points here. You feel a lot better, right? You don't get any points.

And that's just like, it's bad ball. And so the pick. Josh ran off the bench. God damn, dude. You ran off the bench. Oh, that's brutal. And it was such a delayed call, too. It wasn't like ball hit the ground.

The guy was like, I saw it the whole way. I'm going to throw it. It was like, there was a lull in the action. It was almost like when a streaker comes on the field that's during a lull in the action. They were like, oh, there's a streak. They're like, it's a flag on the field. I was like, what the fuck is a flag for? Yeah, I was just a naked people.

I was losing it. I know you were. I wanted it to be a tight, I wanted it to be boom, boom, boom, back and forth, back and forth. And I wanted the game to be tighter than it was. So did I. My teaser's hit,

but it would have been nice to get plus three. Fucking, here's the deal about Sincey. We talked earlier about how intentional they are. They're also just so automatic with three downs. They know how to get a, while they set you up, while they stick to the game plan, it just feels like if it's third and three,

it's automatic. Like their quick game, is so automatic and Joe is so decisive and he's now he can extend plays again because he was hurt. It just looks like them and it's even on defense the way that Lou morphed them into a top 10 defense again. It's like they fucking, it's like,

it's like a medication that doesn't kick in for four games. You know, I don't know what's going on with these guys year after year, but they look great and I thought for the bills more than anything, you can say, hey, it was gonna be a tough day at the office. hard to match up with those three receivers, but the tight ends killed you.

And there were situations where your best players didn't show up in coverage and in other spots. And you know, like you talk about, talk about that touchdown to Irv in the corner of the end zone. Okay, that's Poir. This boyd on Hyde on third and 10. This was a really bad one. You wanna talk about the middle eight.

At this point, before the Drew sample touchdown, you're in this thing. You feel really good considering how you played, but they kind of sneak sample, samples in the protection, and then I think it's high, it sneaks down, and just misses him. He comes out and he scores a touchdown. So, you know, third and one with 20, third and one on your 22. You can get off the field.

Third and one, they're backed up. You're chasing them. 12 minutes to go. They go sample for 17 yards. Five minutes later. I love sample out of the back field. You know, you get the ball back, right? So Dane Jackson got picked on on that drive.

It just felt like they couldn't get them off the field in key situations. And then third and three at the end of the game, Von Miller. that's a tough one that's a tough it's tough play to make got to make that got to make the play right best thing your best guy your best guy versus their best guy like one-on-one game on the line you got to make that tackle like it sucks one-on-one feet of the universe on the line yeah death blazer what that's but the bills i think i don't watch sci-fi i think for the bills their biggest their biggest issue is they don't have a real identity like like how like how you're talking about joe burrow and like like they know when it's third or fourth and short they have a quick out they have these plays with the bills

they're all over the place and what are they really doing like offense they don't really you don't know what type of team they are they're josh allen they're josh allen go get us the first down special teams is terrible and then on defense it's just like you have the guys but like you don't have an identity it's like people like they're not afraid of you will run on you will pass on you will scheme you and it's it it sucks they're a really good team but there's not too many good good teams without identities a lot of injury and hey at the end of the day it's 24 points of the bangles it's not like the defense lost this game first things first the offense you got to expect more out of them uh and and more than anything you want you want you want you want you want joe burrow

and the bangles encapsulated in one play it's four minute mode going for the throat to boyd i mean it's like that's it even if you stop them it's going to be be even harder now. And you're in plus territory right off the bat because you have the balls to say, hey, fuck the clock. We're just going to take a shot here. And Joe Burroughs is the guy you trust in that situation. I also noticed during the game, and I'm super, obviously, DeMarre Hamlin being healthy and on the sideline is awesome. They show him so much. He was picking his teeth and they were showing him yesterday between Chris and Mike in the booth. I was like, man, he just kind of probably wants to hide at this point. Who's that? Demar Hamlin. Oh, Hamlin. Yeah. They just got

Ham cam. Yeah, yeah, ham cam. Last night was the night for the ham cam because, you know, I think when the game started, I don't know how the players felt, but we weren't sure how it was going to play out. If guys were going to be, there were some big collisions last night. There were some guys that went down for a second. I know it's tough, haven't seen what you saw last year on the field and going back to the very place. I almost forget that it happened every time, like in a good way.

It's like we're watching football. It's like normalizing watching football, not just thinking about injuries because as a player, you get injured so much. That's all you think about. when you see piles. It's not, oh, wow, I did that. It's how did I do that? Exactly.

So I watched the Demar stuff, and I'm like, man, he just probably wants to chill. I mean, he did a great job. All his interviews, obviously great coverage by NBC, but man, man. He probably just wants to watch the game. Let's just watch the game. Yeah, yeah.

Put his in and chill. Yeah, Zen and chill. He seems like a chill guy. He seems awesome, man. He seems super chill. Not that he needs to hear anything else great about him, but he's the fucking. We don't have a cam on him.

Yeah. All right, Billy Dallas, right? because this was the big marquee game. It's going to be all right. Listen, I'm not surprised, yeah, and we were going back and forth during the game because Nate is the biggest troll on the planet, as you know. And early in this game, I just kept repeating,

we're going to be all right? And then, like, the Eagles did something bad, and he goes, we're going to be all right? And he knows I got money on the game and the whole thing. But the best thing about Nate is, after that, he's always like, what? I wouldn't say anything. He's a real throw-a-rock-hide-hand kind of guy.

And somebody in the group chat was like, he is like that guy that'll ride you the whole day. And when you say anything back, he goes, oh, you're being sensitive. Which is today's generation's way of arguing, honestly. But not that you're that much younger than you. We got the win. We got the win, though. We got the win. Fly Eagles fly.

I was, I felt really good about this game coming in. And I felt horrible about it late. And I kept telling you guys, we're going to lose this game. We're going to lose this game. Micah did everything good. Because not to go backwards forwards here. But at the end of the game, I mentioned that third and three. To me, you've already shown the propensity to go backed up.

Also in that situation, you're up 28, 23. What you're guarding against is a touchdown. You give them a shorter field in that situation. If they do score, I feel great about you going with a little bit more time, come back and kick that field goal. But punning them the ball, if they do score, it's going to be a longer drive. Now, you got the stop there. What they ended up doing was marching down the field in under a minute

and nearly fucking turn it all my hair is gray. but I felt like when you have that opportunity on third and three, the way you're built, the way you run the ball at times during this game, to take that shot, I know you have AJ Brown on Bland, I know you hit a fourth and three a couple weeks ago, but nah, dude, I-

It's aggressive. Pound the fucking rock because I know you have two downs in your head. If it's fourth and three-quarters of a yard, like they're going to tush-push it, and at that point, they take the shot, and they end up damn near losing the game because they fumble the next possession on third down, when they're trying to ice it.

Thank God for that backup guard, falling on that motherfucker, you know? Micah Parsons was beating him at times pretty bad, but he made the play of the game, jumping on that fumble. I thought the play of the game was the two-point conversion in all honesty, and as an offense. You get down there, you score,

you have an opportunity to make it a three-point game. Dak does everything he can, there's power to get in the end zone. He does. That put is out. I'm not a quarterback. I'm not a ball. carrier, but I'm like, just dive, just dive. It's one of those dive situations.

It's what we said out. It's one of those Texas high school football just make, you know what I mean? It's what we said after the game. It's, you know, because then you get the next possession. They get, you know, they're at the, they're at the 45, and then they're at the 40, and then they're at the, they get sat and then they have to go back and get those yards again. Now you're looking at, they could have kicked a field goal on the first. He missed a tight end wide open on that fourth.

Couldn't kick the field goal from where, like, that drive was right there. He's not the reason they lost the game, okay? No, no, no, but that play happened to be big. I'm not blaming it. I'll put it on. I know some people might say, hey, we don't like Dak or it's because it's Philly and Dallas. Dak played fine in a lot of spots. And I said this last week, like, he is his best when he's rolling right.

And one thing I think the Eagles didn't do a good enough job of sometimes was being cognizant of those rush lanes where you keep him from rolling right. I mean, there were times, I mean, the last touchdown, I think he was rolling right. Multiple conversions. You got to keep this guy off his ball hand side. They didn't do a good enough job about that, and he hurt them at times. But I thought if I had a critique for the Eagles defense, and BG played great, running him out of the two sacks

at the end of the game for BG and Jalen Carter, they split one. BG got one solo. Those are huge, right? There's 20 seconds to go, not only getting to DAC, but he can't get the ball out. So that's great, and they were beating steel like a drum,

like Asan beat him for a sack, the whole thing. The protection issues did show, up although Dallas's front's pretty good. But that defense, just the heroics of that goal line stand. I mean, at that point, I think they're up 11 points. But for Dallas to go all the way down there and the deflation of Dak's scrambling and it's Slay and Dak at the goal line and Morrow.

And it was just like a fucking, it was NFC East vintage football. It was like when you watch the highlights of Eagle, Eagles, Cowboys, or Giants, Cowboys, or those games back in the 90s where people were decapitating each other. And it was like all of America was watching in the 4 PM slot, everybody was watching that blade of grass, and they defended it

like their lives depended on it. And I'm not taking anything away from that, because he just got upended, but I'm giving it to the Eagles defense because the very next play, you never know. It's like Pittsburgh, in that stand, I think it was maybe against Baltimore, where they're like, you never know.

The next play, if you knock him down on this quarterback option, the next play, Jackson might throw a pick in the corner of the end zone, which he did. You never know, the next play, Reed Blankenship, might get that tight end down on the goal line. We go to review, we go to commercial, and it's a huge swing. So the defense, the pass rush,

my big critique was too much man and too much ricks on CD Lamb. If you're an Eagles fan, you're fucking nodding your head right now. Because you know what I'm talking about. But, like, Ricks on fourth and one for the first touchdown. You know, he's on Lamb. Third and 21 before the score. Ricks on Lamb. Ricks in the slot.

You know, they just put Lamb in there. And they went to Slay for a while, but end the game. You get Ricks on a deep over. You get Ricks on the pick play down low, which puts them in range to score. And so I just thought the matchups at times were tough, but they survived. All told, they tightened up what they had to.

I don't know how you can throw to your fourth option. on a got to have a situation. I mean, and they talked about it in the broadcast, but it's like, give your guys an opportunity to make a play. Give your guy an opportunity, not your guys. Give your guy an opportunity to make a play.

Yep. In that situation, I would have been so deflated as an alignment. Now, we haven't talked about Jalen Hertz yet, but this was heroic shit. And I don't want to overstate it because people are going to say my bias is showing and all that stuff.

You're not, I'm not an Eagles fan, and I'm saying the same thing you are. Guys, guys, guys are a fucking gamer. He's a stud. the way he's on his bad knee 300 pounds falls on that thing I mean I would have thought he might have Maybe if he doesn't have that brace on

I don't know if the brace on his left knee or whatever Yeah But maybe that ACL goes like that was a that was a scary moment That's how I broke my leg Yeah it's all that But there was Chris Jones It was David Boktiari for me It hit me yeah

Just some big fuckers we like to run into it with our knees So I thought so I thought like the throw before the half To Devante The gutting out the injury They ran the ball better in the red zone they tied it at 14, they came out and ran the ball six fucking times in a row. Okay, Gainwell had a touchdown in the red zone. Other than the shot, I thought, and the protection at times wasn't as good as maybe you would have

expected, but they're victims of their own success up front. They're so good that, you know, like somebody gets beat for a sack and it's like, holy shit. Oh, the sky's falling. The Goddard injury is something you've got to worry about. Was there blood that I saw? On Goddard? Yeah. I hope not, because that would be a compound fraction.

I think it was just his elbow. You saw what I saw. Yeah, yeah. I think it was just one of those like. And I was like, oh. Yeah. But Siriani knew it. Siriani knew it.

He's like, we got to have points his first job. And they did. They went push on fourth and one. They go for it on fourth and three to Dallas got her. Beautiful throw. I think what, they're aggressive anyways, right? They're going to go. See, Michael Parsons ride the tush push?

Yeah. That's pretty cool. Yeah. Also, he played great. Michael Parsons was all of this game. He's just trying to will it to happen. But I think Siriani looks at this Dallas team, and they are front runners. Okay.

Like, that's the way they play. They've only been down in one of their wins, and that was the Chargers, down 7-0. So if you look at the way they jump out on people, like that's a script you can't follow, you'll take the risk of going on fourth down on that opening drive multiple times because you know you absolutely got to have a score.

And I thought that was the biggest sequence of the game was just getting out ahead in this thing and defining the terms of this thing. And I think they knew that. And I think they were intentional. Turns and conditions brought to you by Nick Siriana. Speaking of Micah, how do you feel about that no call? That was a hold.

But he was saying that it was a hold during the block. Like he had his hands in the framework. When he turns away from the block and it becomes this, this isn't a hold. This, if I'm Micah, this becomes a hold. And when you start chasing and your jersey's pulling the other way, that's a clear hold. I think some, yeah, that was a hold.

Yeah, it was a hold. Not at first. Yeah. Not at first. No, it's late. It's when the quarterback crosses that threshold of the door. When he redirects. Which is tough for an offensive line because you don't know when that's happening.

Yeah. But you got to have the great ones have a feel for that. I hope Dallas. I hope Dallas is back soon. I think it's a surgery. Yeah, it sounds like it could be a few weeks. Yeah. Or an IR kind of thing.

I think it's a forearm fracture and then MRI today. So I'm hoping for the best there. We said coming to this game, it had to be a big Dallas-Gotter game, and he played really well in spots. It was a shame they lost him on that kind of stiff-arm tackle, which is, eh. But yeah, a huge win for the Eagles. I don't think anybody's surprised. I think the Eagles are just what they are.

They have a high floor, dude. They have a high floor. And it sets up the biggest game this season, them and the Chiefs both have a buy, and then they'll meet on Monday night. That's going to be crazy. November 20th. Andy Reed, Nick Siriani,

with two weeks to prepare. November 20th. That's crazy. Chief Eagles, the Long Bowl. That's crazy. Yeah, the Long Bowl, let's do it. I have no games. Is it Arrowhead?

You have a Super Bowl. Is it an Arrowhead? I'm not sure. I think it is. Yeah, it's Arrowhead. We got true. Because we've been circling this one because I felt like last year.

It's a Monday night game? feel like this is Jalen's biggest road game of his career. The bookends of that weekend. We're going to have Bengals at Ravens Thursday night, and then Eagles and KC. That's great. Let's do some live streamings. Let's maybe go.

Yeah, oh, go. You want to go? I mean, let's talk about it. I got to go to Penn State this weekend. I'm doing a lot of, oh, yeah, record on Monday. From the fucking G-H-H-H-R-Barrie-H-B. What would I do with all the other one? G-E-H-H-A.

I call it, je-ha. I just think. Because it's a damn good. time every time. I just think, I just think this is Jalen's like big road test where it's not like he's passing the test or failing it and like it's a decision on, it's not like when Tua goes to Miami and they haven't beat anybody. It's like, can you go to Arrowhead win? Go to Arrowhead against a defense who prized itself on pressuring quarterbacks and you know that Jaylin's getting cold. Jal's got an Achilles heel, it's against the pressure. And I thought Dallas was going to be able to show that weakness.

but he just keeps, he just keeps answering the bell. Spags. Spags. It scares me. Spags is great. For any quarterback. Fags is great. Kyle, you want to read a message from our sponsors at CashUp?

Good adterity, guys. We got to get to the best of the rest. I mean, like those four games are going to take up a ton of time on this show. There's a lot of red writing on this paper, okay? Let's get to it. It's a beautiful mind. It's honestly the way the notes look. I mean, I'm not judging your notes, buddy.

It's good stuff. Yeah, no, let me see. We're doing pretty good. Thoughts. All right. Let's start with Tampa Bay Houston, because I thought this was the biggest story of the day. Kyle called the big day from CJ Stroud

on his top NFL show at CBS. I don't know what you saw, Kyle, before the game, but this was one of those days you'll remember from C.J. Stroud. I mean, it's impossible. This kind of offensive production, I know Tampa Bay is not a great team, but from a rookie, it's time to start talking about how many guys

you take over C.J. Stroud. 1,000%. Yeah, I mean, there's a few, but he's up there. You know, I'm more willing to buy this than I am when, like, Brock Purdy has a stretch run where he looks like an MVP, Tua has a stretch run where he looks like an MVP,

because there's, those offenses are known commodities, right? There are some really good players on those offenses. They're good coordinators. If you're a good processor like those guys seem to be, you're going to put up some stats. But like coming into the year, I did not think. And I know CJ Stroud hasn't done this every week, but I did not think with this cast of characters it was going to go this way. As much I like CJ Stroud and was vocal about that, I had no idea that he'd have a day like this this year. And I think, Kyle, it's the big boy throws. You know, coming in, I know he had, like a strong arm and everything.

But there's a difference between having a strong arm and being able to hit that ball versus covered two under 15 seconds ago, get them down to the 10-yard line. Or the tank Dell touchdown early in the game where he pumps Carlton Davis and just fucking puts that ball on the money, 40 yards, whatever it is.

These are big dog throws. These are not little dog throws. These are big dog throws. And this guy's a big dog, Kyle. You know, and I think about these rookie players all over the league that are having success, and we're talking about C.J. Stroud now, but it goes with anybody you talk about, like, Seattle secondary guys, and I know it was a rough day for Seattle, but all over the league, there's young players that just, I feel like don't understand how difficult it is what they're doing.

And C.J. Stroud's in one of those points in his career right now, 455 yards, five touchdowns. And, you know, Damien Pierce out. Bad week against Carolina last week, 140 yards for C.J. Stroud. I just said, look, this is a guy who knows. that he controls the Texans' destiny. And D'emico Ryans knows this. The team knows that. What was really impressive to me is you go out, you start the drive,

bang, bang, boom, you're going down the field, then you fumble after a completion. And they go down and score. I mean, that's no way you want to start the game. And if you're the Houston Texans, historically, you're not a very good team. You can't afford to be turning the ball over on your opening possession. And for them to stick with it for CJ to be able to deliver so many throws,

time after time. It's so impressive. And to your point, I don't know how many guys I'm going to Takeover, C.J. Stroud? He is, he's just got that it factor, you know, like he does. And when you pair that with the fact the ability to make those throws, you can't measure this. Like, it's so obvious, but people don't, what's going on in here?

We have no idea. And so sometimes you're like, why is this guy the way he is? Or why, you know, like, he goes a pretty ball, but like, he's got great vision. He's a great processor. And you're seeing him extend plays more, which is one of the things we talked about coming out. People wanted to see him do that more

because of the college that he played at. He did it in the playoffs. And little did we know it was a little preview of what he'd look like in the pros. His feet are great in the pocket. Like, you know how Brady was really good moving around the park. I know CJ's athletic and he's big and he can move around. But when he's got his feet with intent to throw in the pocket,

it's awesome to see him maneuver around and deliver on that second beat, like off rhythm, boom, get out of it, throw it down the field. D'Amico, Coach of the Year? I mean, we've talked about it. him being in that conversation I don't know if he'll win it but this is we talked about

how great it is former player right number one guy I played against we played against Damico it's great seeing young guys get a shot minority coach getting a shot fucking taking it and running with it defensive coach getting a shot taking and run with it I mean

I love everything about the hire and how it's working out in Houston coach of the year and then you think CJ Charlotte locked up rookie to the year. Offensive rookie of the year? Yeah, I can't think of anybody else. Jalen Carter, C.J. Stroud. 14 touchdowns,

one interception. He's really taking care of the ball. That's the, that's the big thing as a rookie, for you to be able to take care of the ball and in the NFL is unreal. Like Bayesian had a great half against the Saints. We're talking about this. The half-time

stat line was like 2-20, two-tuds. I tweeted, yeah, keep going. Yeah. Keep going, brother. Keep going, brother. Five turnovers. What the fuck? CJ sees it differently. It's like when I look at great art,

if I look at like a Jackson Pollock piece, I'm like, you mean to tell me that guy in my brain are the same? No, no, no. Humans are different, drastically different. To your point,

what goes on between the ears. There's a lot of range in here. What goes on between the ears is different for everybody. Joe Burroughs different than Josh Allen, Patrick Mahomes. It's different than... And as much you want like Josh Allen

to change the way he is, maybe he never changes. Yeah. Like, that's the thing. Like, maybe Josh Allen never changes. Maybe we're just pissing in the wind asking him not to throw that ball in a cover two last night. But there's something, just like me as a player when I played, there were certain things that like in the heat of the moment, if I made a mistake, usually I'd go back and be like, yeah, it was a thought process I have that I just can't get away from. And, you know, that happened to be in past protection more than it didn't run.

Like the run game, run blocking Chris was like try to do something extra or whatever. Run blocking was easy. Like playing the run for you. It's reactionary. it's where you put your hands, it's how you have your feet in the ground. The pass protection stuff is a whole another can of worms. That's where the artistry comes out as an offensive lineman.

It's hard to conquer this. And if you've got this going, it's hard to stop it. And so C.J. Stroud, he's got that. And then some, congrats to him on a great day. Shout out to Evert down there in Houston as well, our guy. Houston. Washington, New England. Now, this is a true hangar game for me.

buddy true hangar game ron de vera's like they put their pants on just like us turns out it's not true they can't even get the right pants on certain guys they got the 2017 pants on i don't know if you saw this how does that even have one kind of stripe yeah it was a hangar game i'll tell you about it i love these i'll tell you about it that should be a segment let me tell you about it um apologies to josh mcdaniel josh mcdaniel's Mike McDaniel has a job.

Josh Mack. Apologies to Josh, but I'm going to talk about the Patriots here. And I'm going to talk about him not great. Because, and that's not out of lack of loving the Patriots. You guys know I've had a hard time quitting this team. I almost wanted to bet this game. And, you know, I've had a bunch of bad takes that I've kind of hitched my wagon to them turning this thing around or Bill knowing what he's doing here.

And I think Bill knows what he's doing, but this is the twilight zone for the Patriots. Patriots, the Patriot Way, really we have to start asking the question, does it exist? It exists, but is it effective? Because if it's a way, right, it's like when Frank Beamer and Beamer ball ran out of Jews. And all of a sudden they started fucking up on special teams. It's like, well, why don't you just use your Beamer ball? Why don't you just use the Patriot Way and get off the field on third down? Why don't just use the Patriot way and not jump off sides on the punt at the end of the game?

that's gonna get you the ball back. You know, shit like that. Why don't you use the Patriot way and not drop the ball, Juju, with the game in the line, forces a pick? I mean, all these things are so unpatriot way-like. I'm starting to wonder if it was,

obviously it's a combination of the coach and the players, but without the veterans that were there over that run, because when you walked in that locker room, you knew you were in a winning locker room. Because not just because of Bill, because I think Bill's the goat, and I'm not going to do this thing where because at the end of his career, he's not great, or post-Bradie's not great, I'm going to just discount everything he did,

okay, because somebody had Peyton Manning for a while, somebody had Steve Young for a while, somebody had Joe Montana for a while, somebody had, and he was able to cash in on not one, not two, not three, you know, go down the line of Super Bowls that they won, and they won them separately. They won them, they were almost two, three different runs, which is the most important thing to me about evaluating that whole window. and Tom Brady was a couple different kinds of players over that run.

I'm not taking anything away. Different primary targets. But what about the Devin McCordy's? You know, Matt Slater's all alone in there. There's just not a lot of Julian Edelman's anymore. There's not a lot of like Dante Hightowers. Dante Hightower is one of the best leaders that I ever played with, if not the best defensive leader that I ever played with.

These guys are not. Strong guy too. You don't just reintroduce that culture. It's got to carry over and carry over, and they've gotten away from it. And they play on discipline football. And so, like, I don't know if the Patriots are not self-aware because of the deadline.

They don't sell anybody, right? Okay, people say they can't draft. They draft people like Thornton. People say they can't get it done in free agency. They make the Jacoby Myers decision. Three for 33, okay? Games on the line, you get the ball to juju, Jacoby Myers catches that ball.

The whole thing. So I don't know what the Patriot way is anymore. And somebody's going to be pitiful. I said that, but you tell me because, you know, it's third downs. They made Sam Howell on third down look like fucking Brett Farb again. The chicken man was running loose. I did read that. I mean, third and seven backed up across his body to Pringle.

I mean, it was an incredible play. Throw all the bill against the first 10 start quarterback's stats out the window. Throw all the rookie quarterbacks coming to Foxborough stats out the window. It is not the same anymore because of shit like this. The third and nine to Pringle with four minutes to go in the half. You give up a third and 23. Sam Howe rushing. I've been on that defense.

I've made mistakes like that on that team. You make a mistake on that team when I was on the Patriots for just a year. They put your ass on the bench. I fucked up on first and second down in the Houston playoff game. I was a third down guy after that. That's the way it is. They don't have enough guys to make those decisions. You know?

So I don't get it. It's confounding. The Patriot way is punishing good players and letting mediocre guys dominate. I don't know. They don't have that luxury anymore. But they don't have the luxury of just plugging new guys and when the other guys are fucking up,

the depth isn't there. I don't think they have the leadership to reinforce the culture. And, you know, when you got Jack Jones liking tweets that say Jack Jones should have played guilty so he went to jail and avoided playing for the Patriots, that is a bad thing, dude. That is a bad thing.

Jack Jones liked that tweet. Not me. Not Jack Johnson. This isn't banana. And you guys told me this. That's confirmed Jack Jones liked that tweet. I believe so, yeah. I love these stories.

Reed just said thumbs up. I love these. Can you confirm? Well, I've been burned on a couple of these. I thought B. Joe Robinson was blowing vapes in our mess space. Yeah. You got J.C. Jackson down.

There's just a bunch of like he was down early in the game. I don't know. to what's going on. Washington five trips inside the 35, the first eight drives. Like, what are we doing? I want to give, I want to give credit to Sam Howell. Sam Howell made some big boy throws. He's the guy. He's done that on and off. John Allen said he's our guy for the next decade. He might want to talk Josh Harris about that. I'm not sure, but. Magic liked him. But, yeah, magic liked him. They really mixed up the run and the past, which is what you want to do. That's a good game plan. That's a bit, right? Not a bit. I think it's a bit. No, it's a bit.

Which is the best bit because he's willing to have people say these things about him But he knows he's doing it He's really committed to that bit if it is And one more shout out Larson for the commies They were six one and one with him starting last year He's made a big difference for them Not that anybody cares about who's playing center for the commies

This is unfortunately more about the Patriots Patriots fans are going to say hey We beat the bills you make it about the bills We lose the commies you make it about us You're the Patriots You wanted me to talk about you here we are What the fuck? What's going on dude

what's going on we're going to annex you soon what's going on the annexation of new England I don't know is Bill going to be there rebuilding there's a report from Ben Vialin

it says that Mike Vrable is the is the high value target for Robert Kraft for Robert Kraft his home run guy and I think that'd be great but I want to see you imagine

I can I actually can That'll be awesome. Indy Carolina, I guess we have to. I just want to say this. I'm not giving up on a quarterback in Carolina because the way he's looked with this setup for, I mean, the two picks he threw yesterday

were unforgivable. They both pick six is the Kenny Moore. The number two touchdown reception catcher this year for him is Kenny Moore. Crazy. Who? Kenny Moore. He plays for the Colts.

He doesn't play for his team. Kenny Moore. Two? Two picks. Two picks. And what I tell you, man, if you look at what Fitter is done there, the GM, right?

And Teper, who's like kind of known to be like a meddling guy, like it doesn't feel... Teper, we're going to talk about him in the Miller Light match. But it kind of feels like... Now, they don't do any of the, like,

sexual harassment that the Washington commanders were doing. They don't do any of the, like... Panic button under the desk. They don't do any of the, like, break the law kind of stuff. But as an ownership group and as an organization right now, it feels pretty dysfunctional.

And when you look at, one, how they set this kid up in Bryce, I mean, that offensive line has really struggled this year. They don't have, I mean, Theonan's played really well relative to expectation, but they don't have guys. Look at their draft picks this year. Has anybody really shown enough to get excited about?

I know it's a fucked up situation. So if you're a draft picking a fucked up situation, it's harder on you. But I haven't seen anything. that like I'm like yes the panthers future and and if you look at the free agents they brought in bozeman hasn't been like a world beater there miles Sanders is like a backup now I guess Justin Houston hasn't been getting there DJ Shark is Justin Houston Hayden Hurst Hayden Hurst has like a few catches on the year so they're failing to build the right

way so has the clock even started on the build it's like is the They're still in the CAD portion of the building. They're looking at a scale model. But they're buying bad materials. They're spending a bunch of money on the scale model. They're buying steel in the pandemic. And it needs to be at least three times as big. You know, just wait a year.

How can we even get this team in the building? I don't know if there's any fucking Panthers fans in here in the chat. It's a rock fight. I feel bad. Or a touch of blit. But I'm not going to give up on Bryce because I think he throws a nice ball when he knows where he wants to be and I think he maneuvers well in the pocket.

I'm just not going to give up on that. And then, you know, the first rounders, fair or not fair, this is the way it goes. He's going to be compared to Bryce or he's going to be compared to CJ. And then, you know, like two years ago, Cross is going to be compared to Aquano

and shit like that. Is it the Trubisky Mahomes conversation? I don't think it's, ooh. It's not. No, because I think, hey, whoa, whoa, it's overreaction Monday, guys. I think it's going to be better than Tribisky. I do.

your guy. No, no, that's why I ask. And Trevisky's a solid backup. And I don't think, I don't know that C.J. Shrouds Mahomes. But I'm saying, for this. The Holmes didn't losing the Panthers last week. For the sake, yeah, he didn't though for a, but he did have zero touchdowns and five turnovers against the Broncos. I know, but after he's already won

multiple Super Bowls and that whole thing. It's a strange mystery. Yeah, we play with it how we see fit. I like to move goalposts. The last thing that Carolina didn't do is last year when they tried to send a whole fucking roster over for Brian Burns, they didn't take it. Right. And then this year again.

So he didn't, now they weren't sending like as much over, I think, this year as they were last year with Brian Burns. But the point is I just don't, I feel bad for Bryce and I don't know. David Temper stood on the table for Bryce Young, I believe. And Bryce was like, thank you. Bryce was like, up. How short is David Tepper? I don't know.

Have you ever actually stood on the table for somebody? People always say that. Has anybody actually stood on the table for somebody? Yeah, I feel like in the old days when there wasn't a mega-tepper. and you had to get height and get your voice out. You stand on your soapbox. Yeah, yeah. And I don't know how it took so long to get here,

but we've got to talk about the Josh Dobbs show. Oh, yeah. Yeah, Dobbs. I want to acknowledge something. Taylor Heineke did not play well. You still scored 28 points. Okay. So that's something you haven't done a lot.

But they are sticking with Heineke as a starter. I think it's the right move. That's what it sounded like. It was the right move yesterday. Somebody said that. Can you confirm that that they said that? You guys confirming that? It was the right.

It was the right move going into the game with the matchup that they had. Look, styles make fights. I talked about this yesterday on CBS Sports. When you're facing a team that's going to pressure a ton, you're going to go with the guy who's been experienced. He's seen things. He's seen a bunch of different schemes. And we know how that Minnesota defense is.

And with the situation they had a quarterback, they were going to lean into their identity even more. So Heineke was the better option. But yeah, Josh Dobbs is what we got to talk about. Josh Dobbs, man, this has got to be, I said this, we were talking about they should make a movie out of Josh Dobbs. Yep. If you do 80 for Brady, Kurt Warner got a movie,

and Kurt Warner Hall of Famer and all that, but I'm kind of drawn to this Josh Dobbs story. Yep. You know, this Josh Dobbs story. At least like a, how about take the quarterback show and just do one with Josh Dobbs? Perfect. He would sign up for it, too.

Where in the world is Josh Dobbs? It's him going in to see that he didn't have a jersey in Arizona in the pro shop, it's him beating the cowboys, it's him showing up in Minneapolis. And, you know, we talked about this game in the show last week. We were picking this game as if Jaron Hall was gonna play.

And I don't think they lose this game. I don't think Atlanta loses this game at all. I don't think there's a chance they lose this game if Jaron Hall's plan. They knocked this fucker out of the game. And then Josh Dobbs comes in. Before the game, they're going through the snap count. on the sideline.

They're like, nice to meet you, bud. All right, what? How hard is that, Kyle? Cut to, cut to the score is now five to three. How hard would that be, Kyle, to learn someone, a new quarterback's cadence that quickly? The great thing is, universally, you could be a quarterback and show up to an offense and say,

okay, here's my on one. White 80, white 80 said, hot! Here's my quick count. White 80 said, HUD! Like, that's kind of universal. You can do that. The thing that is an issue is the route concepts, the check with me,

the stuff that's pre-snap, what he sees versus what the receiver sees, yes, the snap is tough. I mean, when you never dealt with the center that you're getting snaps from, that's got to be really difficult. I've never been a center, but I've heard that bitch about a lot. You need more reps with X. So, so, yeah. So Josh Dobbs, all in all, great job.

O'Connell was so happy after the game. O'Connell's a great coach, man. That hug, the embrace, whatever he was saying, until I'd like to know what he said to him, by the way. O'Connell's too good a coach, because I'm just going to keep saying this. What are you going to do, Vikings? You're going to get in the playoffs? I mean, you had Kirk Cousins, and you lost the Giants last year in the playoffs.

What are you going to do if you get into the playoffs? I don't know. So my point has been Brian O'Connell. He's such a Kevin. Kevin O'Connell is a fucking referee that Macon used to yell at. When we went to Madison Square Garden to see Michigan State and Virginia play, of course, we lost that game before the Natty. Makin got shit house drunk and was just screaming at the same.

this official in the quietest moments at the garden. Brian O'Connell! I'm coming for you! So Kevin O'Connell is a hell of a football coach because he got this guy ready to play. He's such a good football coach. His only flaws, he doesn't know that the team's not great. And they're just going to keep winning these games

and they play themselves into purgatory. Josh Dobbs, the magic man, there were both fucking ends of it. There was that fumble, it looked like he was just out there playing backyard ball where he's hurtling a guy like drops the ball he throws a pick to a guy right in front of him but the two-point conversion the play before the half against the blitz where he scrambles on third and ten it was like he was just making magic and he might be the next iteration of i don't know if it's fitzpatrick yeah fits he's better

but i don't know if it's minchu like he's the new minchu but people really like this guy rough day and uh yeah i mean i'm be john robinson fumble killed you you up 2113 the falcons are We're talking about these two teams in different ways. The Falcons are trying to go somewhere. And the Vikings are too. I think if you're the Falcons, you should be going for it, you know? But that defense, Josh Dobbs had over three seconds to throw, easily over three seconds to throw.

And as a defensive line, you've got to take that personal, man. You get beat by this guy to let him go down the field late in the game. Three seconds, a long time, buddy. Man, that's just a brutal way to lose that game. And this should be a real gut check. So you can drown in three seconds. Really? Like in the shower.

If I fell over and it was enough water at the bottom. Really? It could only take like three seconds. Well, I'm more interested in who Atlanta plays next week because you want to bet them. So Atlanta. Cardinals. Oh, you're on my sheet.

Two points? Oh, I'm going right now for like a fucking Rusto hardware. Chey's lounge. And Heineke's starting is confirmed. Bro, I'm in. I'm in, bro. Yeah. Josh Dobbs, actually, was a guy.

He had a 4.0 GPA studied rocket science. That's why he's so fucking. Rocket science. So here's my question. Like, could he, if he had the tools, could he build a rocket? That's a good question, Kyle.

He interned at NASA. Probably could. Probably could. He probably could. Our buddy. Like Mike McDaniel interned with the Broncos. So he knows off. Our spaceship buddy,

our astronaut friend, Leel and Melvin. Thank you. Thank you. Gave him a big shout out when he was in studio with us. Two and a half. I like two better.

and two and a half. Okay, so I'm going to bet the Falcons right now. Don't show this to make him. All right.

There's no way he's preparing for the Falcons. It's unbelievable that we're even having this conversation. There's some grain of truth to it. Yeah, yeah. Like usually should like... They put a clause in his contract pertaining to this shit. And people were like, that's so wrong. It is wrong.

Adam Schaefter said I won't be surprised if we see Kyler Murray on Sunday. Yeah. That's not really a... I won't be surprised. I bet the Falcons anyways. his first fucking start he's going to be running around like we

speaking of the Cardinals they got blanked by the Browns Cardinals man thanks for reminding me that game happened it did happen so in that game Deshawn Watson played they played the Browns

from Cleveland Sean played who have a guy named Ralph Waldo Emerson Jr. Ralph Waldo Emerson Um, self-reliance. As I lay dying.

Was that Faulkner? I don't know, Kyle, but I'm a big Ralph Walter Emerson fan. I think it was Faulkner. I'm also a big Robert Wadlow fan. He was almost eight feet tall. He's like the opposite of Kyle. He was almost nine feet tall. He was eight 11.

What if he, eight eleven? What if he had a small piece? What a strange combination of words? Let me tell you. What if he had a small piece? Can you imagine? What?

All the circus chicks are like, I got to get with him. in the back and it's just like, oh, small people. He would have hung a mini Mona Lisa on the Hoover Dam. That's funny. A microscopic Mona Lisa. Okay. I haven't heard that joke format in a very long time.

No, I don't have much to say other than, hey, Brown's taking care of business. Deshawn Watson come back to play. Listen, I don't like the circumstance with which they found Deshaun Watson. I think there's a moral thing. Some people disagree with me, the whole thing. but I'm not going to hear that he didn't want to play football. I think he was really hurt. That's a weird thing to say about a guy whose life is dedicated to playing football.

Well, I think people look at it and they're like, oh, it's a shoulder bruise. Like, come on, it's just a shoulder bruise. Let me give you a knee bruise. In the chat. When's the last time you bruise your rotator cuff and then had to go play an NFL football game? It's not easy, man. It's not a bruise like, oh, I have a bruise on my. It's like internal deep bruising to your joint systems that control the throwing mechanisms

that will dictate how you fucking play in your profession. Systems and mechanisms and atrophy and... It's real. Yeah. Fucking swore. Overcompensation. So that's our breakdown on that game. Way to go.

Browns were more physical. Defense and special teams. This is us breaking down a game we didn't see. Defense and special teams. Kyle probably saw that Bears game though, right? You know what? What I did see was the. fucking half-time box score and Bayjant's first half successes was like 2-20, two touchdowns.

He was running the ball. He was throwing the ball. And it was the Saints inability to just close the game out and keep the bears in the game, electing to not make it a two-possession game there in the third quarter late. I think it was. They could have gone up by... You missed a field goal at the end. Ten or 11. And that one as well. They could have ran away with this game. You look at a, I think it was minus four, minus five for Chicago on the turnovers. Yeah. Yesterday there's, you know,

you're minus two in this league, you're lucky to win. You're minus three in this league, you're lucky if you don't get run out of the state. You're minus four and it's a one two possession game. Everybody in your building goes to church, obviously. Yes. Bears.

Bayesian. Hopefully Fields is back. He's only got a short amount of time to really prove himself to the brass. And I think the brass, That was just, you know, a short amount of time maybe to prove them. The whole NFC. The whole NFC Norse in a trial. Yeah.

I mean, on different scales. I'm just going to say this. Jared Goff has to cash in at the top. He's played great, but down the stretches where we're going to find out of Detroit really thinks about him as like a long-term guy. I love the guy, but I'm so happy for him. But he's got it. He's on a level.

Everybody's trying out in the NFL. But the other three teams for sure. I mean, like Jordan Love, they came out and said it. Hey, you got to. and here's where I'll mention that game in a second, but you've got to play well at the second half of the year. Not the second half of the football game. I think that's what he misheard Brian G.

And he went out and lit it up in the second half yesterday. Statistically speaking, he was on fire. But the first half continues to be a problem for them. And then obviously Josh Dobbs in Minnesota, he's trying out for somebody else. But yeah, no, I think when it comes to Chicago, they did some good things yesterday. I think they, some of the parts of that game was not dissimilar to offensively what happened against the Chargers.

I thought at times they moved the ball against the Chargers. They just couldn't finish drives and they'd take a negative and then they'd be behind the sticks. I thought at times this kid looked really good, but you make the point, Kyle, about turnovers. And this was how New Orleans won this game. Adibo has played great this year. He had a force fumble, which was huge to open the third. He had two picks, one in the fourth that helped seal the game or put them in a tougher spot.

And then to Mario Davis, T.E. coming off the ball, he's standing up in kind of a three technique, runs of T.E. In that game situation, sometimes you let that penetrator go, and he ends up with the sack to win the game. So the defense, although they bled a lot of yards, they end up holding this team to under 20 points at home. and the offense continues to get job done for New Orleans. Like they have trended in a positive direction over the last 10 quarters.

So excited to see the Saints, I excited is the wrong word, or at the back end of the show where I'm not as excited about these teams. But Atlanta, with them fumbling the bag against Minnesota, there's still a division race in the NFC South. And New Orleans probably feels like they should win this division. I'll say this. I am excited about the right side of the Chicago offensive line.

People are starting to catch on. The booths talking about it. Tevin Jenkins yesterday took somebody for a ride, planted them into the earth. They will be sprouting in spring, probably. Fuck yeah, dude. I love Tevin Jenkins. If he's healthy and can stay on the field,

he'll take that trip across the pond or wherever the fuck they play that All-Star game now. Green Bay, L.A., again, it's, I hate to beat, you know, to beat, I can't say beat a dead horse. Would never say that. I hate to... I would eat a dead horse. Well, in a drought.

Sweden or Iceland. They eat horses in Iceland. There was a famine, yeah. It's not a famine situation. I think they just, you know, put some... Put some rub on there. Not to eat a dead horse,

but the Rams and teams like them that don't either know where they are or didn't want to sell any of their pieces. You know, I know Stafford's hurting. That might not be permanent, but just, You go to Green Bay, they haven't beaten anybody in a while. You lose 23.

It's just overwhelming. It's underwhelming. Underwhelming game, not one that a lot of people are watching. Again, for the Packers, Gordon Love, you get him going in the second half. What's going on with your first half game plan to where this kid's just not getting it? And the thing I need to see from him, I talked about them taking shots. He's got to throw a better deep ball consistently.

He has guys who can get down there and make plays. And there are times where I feel like his arm strength is enough, but there's some. It's not accurate. It's the accuracy. You know how we talked about like the difference between, you know, being able to just muscle a ball deep and what C.J. Stroud's doing right now, which is he's just dropping the eyes.

He's putting the ball in the green. And when the ball hits the green, it just stops, right? He's got the backspin on it. Kyle learned that in Tiger Woods. Fucking, you know, Jordan Love, he's just bouncing that thing over the green or he's just off. And so when you have an offense with vertical threats like that are big guys, like you've got to take shots and he's got to improve there.

But second half, you don't want to play the Packers in the second half. Look, Aaron Jones, when he's healthy, and we saw it. That's a big one. We saw it from week one. Week one, Aaron Jones against the Bears was great. He made Jordan Love look great. And I was sold on Jordan Love after one week. You know, I kissed her, and then I put a ring on it in week one.

And I was like, fuck. Dude, he had me jumping out of the gym. And he was looking like Rogers jumping around with a little off-the-ground action during his throws. But when Aaron Jones, this is a team like the Niners, and they're nothing like the Niners, but situationally, if all the pieces aren't in place for this football team, offensively in particular, they're not going to have success. Jordan Love's not built to carry the load of this offense.

He has to be better on the deep balls. He's got to be more accurate in the intermediate game. So those are all the games. That's all the games. I think it's all the games unless we forgot one. Now we've got it. That's all the fucking game. Okay, before we get to our Miller Light moments,

whatever you're looking forward to this football season, there's one thing that pairs well with every great moment. and that is an ice cold Miller Light. Whether you're at the stadium, playing fantasy football, or watching the game at home or the bar, Miller Light is here to make your football season taste like Miller Time. No matter what team you're rooting for, there's one thing we can all agree on.

Football brings us together. A connection like that deserves to be celebrated, Kyle. Together. Yeah, we're together because of football. And Miller Light wants you to celebrate with me during the NFL Conference Championships in January.

Wacker, I just matter. Wacker drive. That's the way you... Whacker Drive, that's where you whack, you whack people. Well, the thing that's confusing about Wacker... That's where DeVito hangs out. There's upper whacker. There's lower wacker. So when you're down there in Chicago,

you put an address in that's on the street level, you could end up in lower whacker, and you're like in the... Ways starts having a panic attack. The innards of the city. It's like the yellow lights, indoor. It's like parking garage. Please make a U-turn.

Please make a U-turn. That's where people go missing, buddy. So yeah, come, come, come, come, come hang out with us. Come hang out, fuck around. We don't smell. It's like, honestly, like, pretty good hygiene, nice studio. We have a shower here, too, if we end up do smelling. Shower.

Yeah, we'll clean up real quick. Sometimes I poop in the studio and I take a shower. I did. I'd drop my carry-on from Tuscalo last night in the bathroom during one of the evil. Carry-on. That's what we're calling shit now. Yeah. Well, what?

I said, dude, I just said carry-on. Who? Best flights. Best flights. Oh, your actual luggage. No, I really do. Because there is luggage upstairs. Talking about a huge bag of pork rinds that I ate at 2 a.m.

I brought up the bar. Like, it was this big. Yeah. And then I had a Brian Denny dog. I had some chicken tenders of Brian Denny. I waited 40 minutes for those pendies. Miss, like, part of the third quarter, no problem. Worth it.

That's a stadium. I'm going back to Alabama. Rainbow Alabama. Rainbow Alabama. I can't wait to get back there to my people, man. Me, Tom, Bad Back Backy, we were on the plane ride talking about let's get a condo for when our kids all go to school here

and we can make it right next to the stadium. Big plans. There is like literally a department building that's 30 feet from the stadium. The streets like this narrow and then there's like the entrance to the stadium and alums will buy those apartments and just tailgate in their front yard.

It's fucking incredible, dude. They got it figured out. It's like the Wrigley Field rooftop people. Send your entire athletic department, whoever you are, down to Bryant-Denny Stadium, just take notes.

And I just love, you know what, we're going to talk about college for just like two seconds. Okay, so Jalen Milrow, post-game interview with Nick Saban. They just love Nick Saban. And Nick Saban obviously loves his guys.

The post-game interview, it was like when Nick passed the mic to Jalen, there was like a hug. It was like a real hug. You can see the smile. Yeah, and they've set him down this year at different points, right? And he's taken a,

He's taking a lot of flack in the media, especially early going in the season. But it was nice to see that big win. Nick Savin, that's awesome. And then Daubo, he's like, if you want to buy stock in Clems and buy it right now. It's called Insider Trading. Kind of.

He trips me out. Yeah, it trips me out too, Kyle. I don't know what it is. Don't ask him about his salary. Yeah. He'll go wild. Didn't he say that if NIL became a thing, he would retire?

Yeah, he hadn't happened yet. God's name, Image, and likeness. Pretty much. So I can't really define that because nobody's seeing God, but it's going to be something like that. So anyways, we'll do our awards. Or as we call them, Miller Light moments.

Are we doing best flight first? Best flight, worst flight. I'll go best flight. Okay. The Chiefs, relatively healthy. They're going to do a by week. Huge win in Germany. Place that Travis and Patrick have never been.

been everywhere they've done everything as a duo and they've ever been to germany the rock stars they went out there to frankfort and they said guten tog bitches breckency complimentary football sprecency ton of us breckency key moments where you guys don't show up frequency sry fly fly that's the german yeah um okay uh best flight best flight Probably commanders. That's a short one, man. Mm-hmm.

You know, you got chicken, chicken man up front, fucking scarfing down some chick-fil-A. I keep forgetting that he'll eat chicken. Even though it's Sunday, you can't get Chick-fil-A on the way home. What is, what is Sam how old? Poe-a-Loco. Poe-a-Loco. By the way, best commercial by a current NFL star other than Von Miller and Stefan Diggs, because I think they're great actors, I've said this bunch.

T.J. Watt and a Delta. taco commercial. I'm watching that commercial. I'm going to tell you something. He reminds me of a Howie Long in the 80s. Like he's got that same kind of like... Duke Nukem look and also All Ball. And he's all ball.

He never smiles. If he does, it's like a, you know, he's handsome devil. Everybody goes, ha ha, he smiled. Yeah. But the Delah Taco commercial, he's peak Howie Long. Yes. I feel like I was watching a Howie Long commercial in the 80s. So, commanders, I'll give you the best flight.

It's a short one, relatively short. short you got the nobody believes in a specter to they just traded some guys away you still win yeah it's cool less guys on the plane worst flight dolphins I feel like if you're in the air for that long and you're a dolphin you might die your Mersey had a situation like that with a whale earlier this year he did the whale didn't make it well you can't put the whale under where you put in the where you put in the bulldogs under the read like that somebody go get Shamu some peanuts.

Shammu's not moving, man. Is Shammu's supposed to be floating? He's not sham moving. Yeah, he's not sham moving. So, so I'm going to get him, Shamm out of here.

I'm going to get, I'm going to give it, I mean, listen. Okay. Sham wow, Kyle. Sham wow. All right. Sham, wow.

Sham, shut the fuck up. so I can give my worst flight, you goofy, SOB. Dolphins, Bucks, and Giants had the three worst flights. The bucks to me, the emotional swing of thinking you won a game to thinking you lose a game like that, the quietest locker room after a game. That would be the quietest locker room.

But I got to give it to the Giants. You go to Vegas. You see everybody's in Vegas. People are on the field partying in these fucking nightclubs that are on the field. Like, we've been in those nightclubs are crazy. It is fun. But you've got to watch that the whole time you're getting fucking drug like 30 to 6 or something. And then you got to get on a plane ride with Brian Dable, who's probably not having very much fun right now.

The tone on that plane had to be awful. And it's a long-ass flight going back to New York. I'll give it to the Giants. Beville Conway? I'm going to say the Raiders victory cigars. It was beautiful. It was a beautiful football moment. For those of you don't know, Beville Conway, famous artist.

Crazy, right? You just realized what he said. What? Yo, you just complete. Let me finish this. Let me finish this. Go ahead. It was the most football scene.

It was like the celebration. It was a Super Bowl, a conference. It was a hat and t-shirt game. What's that I see? Is that a D-P-O-Y through the smoke? It was a hat and t-shirt game. Yeah, the D-P-O-Y. Thanks for coming out to the game, guys.

Could be. I just thought it was Bevel Conway. No, I was. That's a good call. Bobo Conway was an artist. and a neuroscientist. No, he still is, Kyle. He was on this show.

We were trying to settle a debate that some of y'all might well know about, which is a lot of you, respectfully, Helen Keller's out there, think that lemon lime gatorade is yellow. It's fucking green, dude.

It's green. And so we had a color specialist come on. His job is literally to name crayon. He is racist. And what did he say? What do he say? He said people with more depth of What did he say?

You tell me. You asked the question. What do you say? You have more of a spectrum. You're wrong. What did he say? You want to ask? He said for the most part.

No. Yes, he did. How much you want to bet? How much I want to bet? What do you mean? $100. He literally played it right down the middle. Oh, so he played it right down the middle.

That's what I was going to say because you were about to be like, oh, it's all on my side. He said it, and I quote, people with more depth of vision that can read more colors that are in between colors will say. say it's green because it is technically partially green. There you have it. Bevel Conway says Lemon Lime Gitterary is green. Now we're going to run it back if I'm wrong and I'll give read $100 but the point is he came

on the show and he fucking he's you know 5149 sided with your boy. Do I give you my anti-bevel Conway before you give me your Bevel Conway? What? Yeah, anti-bevel My anti-bevel Conway Texans versus Bucks and I can't really put my finger on why

it's just not appealing to the eyes Oh, the, oh, Texans' bucks? No, anything with Puter? It was the Texans blue on top, white on the bottom, bucks, white on white. It just didn't look good. Like, there's some matchups that just look blue blood. Pudor should only be used on, like, sport utility vehicles that nobody wants. Can I give an anti-Bevel?

That's not a great color. Are you flexing your spectral color? Talk to Bevel Conway. I think he called me the, the, well, I can't remember. Is this red or is it? Apple, Chris. Not Granny Smith, son. You probably think the Gatorade...

Red's different. Red Delicious or something. Red delicious. Yeah. That's what it is. Fuji apples are the best. All right. So, anyways, we had the Bevel Conway.

I'm going to go Miami-K-C in Germany. Very cool. I can't put my finger on it. Maybe Bevel can come back on, or maybe somebody from, like, a TV truck can tell me. But why? do does it look so cool in Europe it's the field's the same size the grass is the grass different is isn't that all the stadiums are outdoor but they have like that haircut I just I love the

it looks better it looks crisper on TV maybe it's people in the audience smoking heaters too are there but maybe these fuckers don't shut up the whole game listen is amazing I was thinking about this Chris maybe it's the fact that we have to wake up at 930 to watch the game and you're in a different mindset. Your REM cycle. I really do think it's beautiful. I don't know what it is, but these, the shots from these games are great.

They're great. Beville Conway, though, it's going to be Tuscaloosa during Dixieland Delight. I've never seen anything like in my life. Spend my dollar. All beer. Oh, beer. Send it right to read. I don't know.

I couldn't go down there. Yeah, yeah, it was crazy. All right. You guys got a hollow man? Hollow man. I'm not going to say, I'm not going to say it. Did I say it?

I'm not going to say it. What are we talking about? Hollow man. Who do you think I might pick for Hollow Man? I wonder. Was it one of the big with Agafilo? Oh. It's just the dolphins, man.

Yeah, I'm not going to give it to them. I'm just going to give it to the dolphins. Hollow men, man. Tyreek maybe the most, and I got so much respect for Tyreek. He is such a great player. He has to stop talking too much. He talks too much. Okay, you said that.

I didn't say it. Yeah, bro. I was as good as Tyreek I would be saying whatever the fuck I want to. No, but don't drop. Don't always have that drop in the game then and like little stuff. Lately there have been little things. Yeah. Okay, but I thought coming out there against your old team,

you know that was a big thing for him and the fumble, you know, and they actually did a pretty good job on him. It was less of a fumble, more of a takeaway. Then talking about touchdown celebration. I mean, they assaulted him. Yeah, they did. They flew to him like a bunch of fucking hyenas. They did.

I want to give him a war. Yeah, they were like, oh, there's a cheat in here. All right, so I want to give an award to somebody who, and maybe it's my SCL Memorial Award. I was going to give it to Adivo, but this might be a totally different award than we've ever given out. It's the guy who kicked the fucking ball for the Texans. Dare.

Are you talking about Dare A Ogunboale? Yes, I am. Kyle, how'd you know? Because I wrote it phonetically. This dude kicked a real field goal to go up in that game or tie it. It was like a high-stakes field goal. 30 to 33, right? The high-stakes field goal.

I looked up and there was a position player kicking. I was like, this looks odd. That total started at 37. Damn. Crazy. Crazy. Should more position players kick? I mean, there's obviously athletes in the league who can kick.

Justin Reed can kick. You know, there's guys who can kick. Justin Reed, prime example. You're wasting a million and a half to three million dollars on a kicker every year. Kickers are like, F, you guys. Don't start this shit. I'm not saying it. The kickers are.

saying don't start this. If I got Justin Tucker, I feel pretty good. But if I got Justin Reed, then motherfucker can play safety too. Yeah, you can play safety too. Yeah, you're right. You're right. And he can't bad. Here's another thing.

Why, like, why can't fucking punters learn how to, like, emergency just kick a field goal? Like, how hard is that? And how much time, like, how much time do you have extra for a situation like that, though? You think it's that hard for a punter to learn how to kick a field goal, like an emergency situation? Hey man. Probably. Because it looks pretty hard for the guys that do it every fucking day.

Yeah. Like the Saints guy who costs America billions of dollars yesterday. Yike. Not me, but America. I didn't bet on that one. This cost me pride. The locks. I got to do a hollow man here.

I'm getting pointed at it. It's Chase Claypool. I know he fell on the fumble. But he gets in the game. Jalen Wattle goes down, right? Jailen Waddle goes down. Claypool comes in, lines up in the wrong spot. They put him in the right spot.

false start. Yeah, it's cringe. That's the word. Dude, because some guys, when they don't pan out, you're like, uh, you know, he's just not good enough. Like, it's really hard to be good in the NFL. Like, it's fucking, like, you can try your very best and be really talented, and the NFL is too hard for a lot of guys because of some, some, you see him coming

out of no day and you're like this big body guy. He's going to fucking, I mean, he's going to be dunking on people, 50, 50 balls. He's physical, the whole thing. We really haven't seen a lot of that. And as time goes on and like you hear the anecdotes from different stops, you're like, okay, some of this he's controlling because he's not prepared or doesn't, he passes up a chance to block for the bears when they need them to block. Or I just, not dependable.

It's like if you meet an asshole every once in a while, you probably met an asshole. If you meet an asshole every day, there's a chance that you're the fucking asshole. Right, maybe. And I'm not calling him an asshole, but I am saying like some of this stuff he can control. Right. I mean, I'm not saying he's a dickhead. No, no, no. No.

He seems cool as shit. We've seen it happen too many times. It seems cool of shit. We sent him some chewing tobacco. And some people were like, that's bad. Worth a reason. Yeah, well, if football doesn't get him, it might be the skull. I don't know.

All right. So, STL Memorial, I want to give it to Adivo, actually, because I don't think anybody's talking about that New Orleans game. This guy has played really well for them this year, and he kind of won them that game. Tank Dell. Game winning touchdown. two tuds, six receptions, 114 yards.

That duo is awesome to watch, man. My STL memorial. Somebody in the chat just said, I bought a Claypool Steelers jersey after his first came. Worst financial decision of my life. Maddie Erickson, I'm sorry. That's tough.

Haven't burned it, though. I think jerseys like that are best worn ironically now. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. So you don't want to burn that jersey. That thing will go up in value here soon. All right, cool, cool, cool, cool. I don't mean any assholes, Kyle. ever so uh you got a game ball um game ball three two one you for Josh Dobbs yeah that's a good one

that's a good one to give i have a hard time giving it to anybody else but CJ Stroud i'll probably give it to CJ Stroud Kyle that's good we both gave out our game balls uh we need a oh fly on the wall fly on the wall and these are good and best seat which we don't know oh what did we try The fly on the wall would be owner of the Panthers, David Tepper, watching C.J. Stroud after standing on the table for Bryce Young. Yeah, it's going to be tough getting off that table. I want to give it to the German press pool when Mike McDaniel got up there, as you mentioned earlier, and was like... Am I taller?

Am I taller than you thought? Or maybe Mike McDaniel when that happened, because what he didn't realize, as brilliant as he is, of an offensive play caller, and I think he's a great coach, Um, he has to know the Germans, you're not going to get easy laughs out of them. You know what I mean? Like, that's not what they do. Crickets. It's not what they do. It's got crickets.

I don't think anything's funny. I don't think anything's funny. That was not, you got to know your audience, you know? I got to fly in the wall. Flying the wall being Antonio Pierce before McDaniels, like feeling great about having that meeting and being like, yeah, I just killed it. I got these guys riled up. he's going to be happy about this. I'm so mad at you.

Thanks for getting the team excited. You're fired. You talked about the Patriots. Like, I just want to know how he responded to that. Like, if he was like, man,

get the fuck out my face or just was just like, you know what? Like, the fuck. It's a, it's a, it's a joke

where I got to tap dance around Patriots takes. That can't be a real story. It's real because that's how some people act. I heard Glazer break it yesterday on Fox, and I remember immediately saying that's just, you know, it's real. When I hear that story, I just think about the Wolverine meme, the McDaniels is at night just looking at the Patriots and Bill Belichette.

Yeah. Bill Belichette. The Wolverine meme. The Wolverine meme. The Wolverine meme. Really hard to make. I've tried to make you have to like download a thing that makes Wolverine memes, and then you've got to upload an image and all that fuck this shit.

Wolverine meme generator. Yeah, exactly. So I've got, what do I got to do now? fly on the wall. Just best seat in the house. That's got to be Mark Davis at the suite. He just got a new haircut, getting thank you. Oh, yeah.

As he's walking out into the crowd or onto the field. He looked regal. Yeah. He looked rejuvenated. That team looked awesome. Aiden O'Connell, great. It's crazy what a new haircut could do for you, man. I would have loved to have been in that suite during that game, bro.

It also reinforces my take, which is that when people get major haircuts or they grow a big beard out that they don't usually have, they're going through something. Or they shave. There's like a sudden thing where I show up and all of a sudden I look all fucked up because I actually shave my beard. Because something's going on. I'm going through changes. In my life.

Who is that? Charles Bradley. See, I think about Ozzy Osbourne. No. No, Ozzy Osbourne did that song too. That's culture, culture, culture. When did Charles Bradley do it? I have no idea, Chris.

I think I'm being serious here. I'm going through changes. Yeah, you brought up culture vulture. We talk about Elvis Presley. Yeah, you're a regular Elvis over here. No, I was. I was. I was coked up Elvis for Halloween.

Nobody knew. You did not see this? No. Here, I'll show you. Coked up Elvis. You walked around on a toilet? Well, somebody was like, how are you going to explain this to the kids?

I'm like, easy. These are illicit drugs. You know, it's like, you can get into trouble. Elvis got into trouble doing this. And they're going to find me. with powder on my nose on the toilet. Look at this, Kyle.

Chris. Well, I was only that at work and I don't think anybody got it. They were like, why does he have chalk on his nose? All right. Some people really thought I was probably zooted in here.

That's where I assume. Yeah. You would be the guy who would hook me up. You got a best seat. Yeah, best seat. Mike Vrabble watching the Patriots.

Just so happy. that Thursday night, they lose that game, they get to sit around for the weekend, the mini buy, and I got to figure he's just got the TV on, and Chicken Man is looking like Michael Vic out there, okay? And he's thinking himself, I just went back up to New England

to put that red jacket on. Imagine coaching while you're in the ring of honor. He might wear the red jacket on the sideline. That'd be the... Alpha move, boy. Fuck. Yeah. Facts, what's your viral moment?

My Facts, viral moment this week is going to go to defensive and football operations assistant, Matt Leo. Oh, I did see this guy. Oh, but I didn't see that. He was knocked over on the sidelines of the Philadelphia game, and there is a viral shot going on. That's a thong. About his undergarments that he's wearing him. I want to start this. I want to start this off by saying, first off,

don't underwear, don't underwear shame, first off. And then doing a deep dive, he's actually not from America. He's from Australia where the land of the banana hammock is big time. That's white. That's not a thong.

That ass is white. No, no. That whale tail's red, boy. I don't think that's a thong. Hey, it's a thong. And even if it is, like, who cares? Like, I seen the first video.

I'm doing the segment. I mean, I just, I mean, everyone's reaction. It's like, oh, that guy has a thong, get him off the sideline. No, that is hate on him. It's hate on him. It's hate on him. That sounds like hate on him. I'm defending him, but you're saying the wrong thing because I'm defending him.

You put your hands up. You hate it. Well, first off. Driving that train. Whatever, whatever. I don't go. Whatever he's wearing, it doesn't really, it doesn't really matter. But that's crazy.

Well, he gets knocked over, he puts that thing on. He's like, I'm going to wear my lucky thong. We were playing the couch. Trouble ahead. Nobody's going to, you know, nobody's going to get me. Hey. Next thing you know, boom, you get hit on the sideline. I don't think it's a thong.

And your panties are. Whatever it is. He says it's not. Whatever it is that Eagles fans say, he has to wear it the rest of the year. That's what I'm saying. Well, I need to look. I need to look at like on my computer. because it just didn't look.

It was hard for me to see. It was all, I need to enhance. Enhance. Thong. Male thongs are going to be sold out of wherever they're sold. Oh, I also want to shout out the true chicken man, not Sam Howe, our guy from Philly. It was one year ago that he ate that rotisserie chicken in front of all those people at the landing down there in Philly. Shout out Alex.

He ate it for how many days in a row? 40. 40 days of rotissory chicken. When I went to meet this guy to eat it to have a chicken we sat down over a chicken at the pier Yeah It was crazy Kyle like we we we met this guy for Philly people to know he had 40 days in a row of Rotisserie chickens to the dome and people were like every time he ate one in the same place out by the ocean More people would show up and then the last day was like fucking look at this guy

I mean it's a crowd So so we went to meet him we like DM them and shit and we were like, hey, I'd love to meet you for a chicken. He was like, what the fuck is this? But he showed up. He came, like, from the opposite side, and we watched him walk in. Like, it was like a drug deal.

It was like, it was like a mob scene. And then we set up a little table with an Italian table cloth, and we had a chicken. And he took one bite. He looked like he was going to vomit. He did. Because I think he's scarred. Like, when I had rumplements in college

and had, like, way too much. Chugged it past the label. Can't drink it anymore. It's the same thing for the, chicken man I want to shout out the chicken man up in Philly a year ago today he did 40 days that's my shout out to finish the show all right let's hear from our sponsors at little Caesars oh little Sears if you're not moon for a rotissory chicken Monday is still game day and game day is the perfect pizza day so make little Caesars the official pizza sponsor

Chargers are favored by three and a half. How are the chargers going to fuck this one up? So I put in a bet last week on the Jets at four, and then Macon gave him out as a lock, and I kind of want to now, just out of my hatred for Macon and his locks, I kind of want to go back the other way and take the charges, maybe money line, big. But I don't know what's going to happen in this game.

I said this last week. I think it's all about, it's all about, who catches the ball of the backfield better. I'm talking about Echler versus Hall. You know, like those are the two guys that can hurt the other defense on the other side. And they stop the big explosive runs from Breece Hall. And that's it, because it's been a lot of little ones,

little ones, and then the big home run. So I think the Jets have made a lot of really good quarterbacks look average, and the charges have made a lot of bad quarterbacks look above average. And I'm not saying Zach's a bad quarterback, unless you go by the numbers. relatively speaking to the good quarterbacks. No, I mean,

people are weird about the Zach Wilson thing, right? Yeah. Can it just be that he... Like they won Aaron Rogers, but they also think he could... But they also get mad when people don't give Zach Wilson a chance. Listen, he's got a real chance tonight.

This is a prime time opportunity for him. He's had him winning. He's made, like at the end of that Giants game, he made some big throws. And the AFC East window is ever so slightly opened. It's open, dude, because the rest of the division, looks like frauds.

Fraud City. The Jets, they are who we thought they are, which is like a, you know, a 10 and 7 team. And if 10 and 7 could win that division, maybe I don't know. It's not going to. Miami's probably going to win that division.

Yeah, it's Justin Herbert. I mean, it's going to come down to which quarterback I trust more, really. You trust Herbo. We talk about the wrong. I just love Herbo. I'm an Oregon guy. I like Herbo too.

I have a tendency to root for physical specimens, freaks, and he's one of them. He's a guy with a lot of gifts and the world's going to see it again. We saw it with the Cowboys and the Chargers, some big time throws in that game from him. It's going to be the same thing against the Jets. I'm going to tell you do a couple things here, you at home. Number one, have a great week.

I hope you have a great week. How's your week looking, Kyle? It's going to be a good week. Anything exciting to look forward to? No, out of the ordinary travel. I'm going to be here hanging out in Charlottesville. It's a beautiful time of the year. I'm going to Happy Valley.

Okay. To see Coach Higgins. Coach Higgins. Yeah, we go see Coach Higgins. They're going to play Michigan. obviously it's a big game so we got to get there taking the kids up and all that stuff going to be seeing what that stadium's all about watch your pockets i heard michigan steals that's good good that's good fucking uh the other thing i'm going to tell you to do is like and subscribe

and then tell your friends about the show because i think we're doing a really good monday show i watched her monday show last week and i was like oh this pretty good i love the monday show i like the monday show so so tell your friends hey they got a good monday show going in green light and only if you think so. For real. Appreciate y'all. Thanks for watching. Peace, love.

Take care.
