Starting point is 00:01:21 Josh Reynolds. 52 yards. Now, down the middle. Caught touchdown. Jimmy Graham. Good snap, good hold, good kick, goodbye. Bears win it, and the five-game losing streak is over. You know, I've been very vocal about the Lions and Thanksgiving, in my opinion, that maybe they shouldn't be playing on Thanksgiving. Maybe that island game with that many eyeballs is not really in the interest of the greater good.
Starting point is 00:01:54 And I've had pushback from people on Twitter and other places. that say, how dare you? How dare you even bring that up? Why would you take that away from the Lions or want to take that away from the Lions? It's, they, Lions fans have nothing. Why would you want to take the only thing they do have? You're a Jets fan. How dare you? To which I say, maybe you have not been thinking of it the right way. Perhaps taking Thanksgiving away from the Lions is for the greater good of Detroit. Maybe that would make Thanksgiving better. Maybe moving the lines to the Sunday of the holiday weekend saves the state of Michigan.
Starting point is 00:02:42 Think about it. Dan Hans is here. Happy Thanksgiving to everybody. One of my favorite days of the year. It's about friends. It's about family. I'm being together. and I like to be with you, the listeners,
Starting point is 00:02:56 to talk about the first game of the Thanksgiving schedule. We got three games to talk about. And the way we decided to do it as a group was split it up. So the old Zusser will talk Bears, Lions. Mark, Sessler will take Raiders, Cowboys, and then Greg will bring up the rear and handle Bill Saints from the Superdome being played tonight, 8.20 p.m. Eastern. So that is the 7th.000.
Starting point is 00:03:23 set up and let me get into this game. And this first game is going to be remembered, of course, for what happened at the end. I mean, that is an otherwise forgettable game between two bad teams, one of them winless, the Bears on a five-game losing streak and with a coach who is one foot out the door would not even accurately sum it up. I would say it's both feet, half his torso. His entire head is like an arm still in the door as head coach, but he's still there now. And he gets the win and he looks good because Dan Campbell looks so bad.
Starting point is 00:04:05 Let's just talk about it. It is third and nine for the Bears who had fallen behind 14 to 13 on a lion's touchdown late in the third quarter. But they marched down the field. burn up most of the fourth quarter clock, but the lines are in pretty good shape here. They're still up a point. It's a third and long for Chicago. Knowing the way that team operates on offense,
Starting point is 00:04:35 they're probably playing for the field goal. Let's face it, probably a pass short, maybe even a run. Who knows, they kick the field goal and then ask their defense to close the game out. And then Jared Goff gets to come back on the field and maybe magic happens in everybody in Detroit at that building in Ford Field get to go home happy.
Starting point is 00:04:51 But you've got to get off the field first. It's third and nine of the line 16, 154 on the clock. The lines have two timeouts. They call one. They stop the clock. Then Andy Dalton comes back to the line. And then that's when things get screwy because the bears call another timeout. It's granted by the officials.
Starting point is 00:05:10 They're not supposed to grant a timeout back to back because you're not allowed to do that. But if an official does grant that timeout and it stops play, You have to assess a five-yard penalty. Terrible. Back-to-back timeouts called by the lines. You can't make this stuff up. Twitter on fire. Lions fans booing in the stadium at their homes.
Starting point is 00:05:33 So a third in nine becomes a third in four. That's manageable. And guess what happens? Dalton converts first down pass. And they then do what they need to do to run out the clock. Cairo Santos, as you heard, through the uprights. This time expires, 16, 14. Chicago moves to four and seven and their five-game losing streak.
Starting point is 00:05:54 The Detroit Lions are now 010 and 1. And man, I don't know. I mean, we all love Dan Campbell. The Lions fans love Dan Campbell. I mean, he's really engendered a lot of goodwill because of his passion and his humanity and his high-energy nature. He's really everything that Matt Patricia was not. That was a dour guy.
Starting point is 00:06:20 that did not inspire passion or confidence from the people that he coached. Campbell's not that guy. And that's why, you know, Jimmy Johnson said in the pregame show, you know, when he took over the Cowboys, that was a team that did not have passion. It didn't have talent. He got one side of it up and then he let Jerry Jones build the roster out and that's how they became a winner. So the idea that there's chemistry in that building with Dan Cain.
Starting point is 00:06:50 gamble at the front. That's all good. But you can't have things like this happen because these are the type of losses that people remember. These are the type of losses that make you think maybe this guy is not suited for the big chair as a head coach because that is grim, back-to-back timeouts. And it becomes comical. I mean, that is, and as a Jets fan, I know what that's like. This is the same guy that nine years ago Thanksgiving night watched with horror as the butt fumble unfolded before my eyes. It's one thing to be a fan of a bad team. It's another thing when you're a fan of a bad team that also kind of embarrasses you
Starting point is 00:07:32 and becomes the butt of jokes, the butt fumble of jokes. And that's what the lines were on Twitter immediately after this game. So it's just a bummer all the way around for Detroit. If you're a Bears fan, hey man, you get a win. You get a win. That's nice. Andy Dalton filling in for Justin Fields. he's a very good backup quarterback.
Starting point is 00:07:51 Dalton is probably going to hit free agency again, and he's going to look to get that one last chance as a starter. I don't know if that's really his trajectory going forward as a someone's full-time starter, but if he ends up being more in this mode, he could be one of the better backups in the league for several years. I really believe that. He is quality quarterback. He threw for 300 yards, averaged over eight yards per attempt,
Starting point is 00:08:15 had a touchdown pass, did have an interception as well in the end zone. It was not pretty. in general, I think he did very well in a backup capacity and got no help from his running game. The Bears 29 carries for 68 yards. That's 2.3 yards per clip. He did get help from Darnell Mooney, who has stepped up and emerged. Alan Robinson has been banged up and out of the game plan all season long. So the Bears desperately need someone else to emerge. And Darnell Mooney has. He was five for 123. In this game, Colquimette had a nice game. Jimmy Graham had his touchdown. Jimmy Graham is going to be good for three touchdowns and about 144 yards
Starting point is 00:08:56 receiving to 144 to 295 every year for the next like 12 to 13 years. And then he'll retire at age 58. And people back, oh, wow, Jimmy Graham. That was pretty long career. He played for 30 years. Huh. That's strange. So the Bears get the win. They lost Rocon Smith. to, I believe, a hamstring injury, so that's not good. And the bad news keeps coming for the Lions as well, because they lost DeAndre Swift with what looked like a very painful shoulder injury. He left the game in the first half, did not return. So we'll see what his long-term status is.
Starting point is 00:09:35 I know if you're tracking DeAndre Swift, you're either a Lions fan or you're a fantasy manager, knowing the playoffs are right around the bend, and that is not good. that he did not look like he was feeling too hot football players. It's a tough game, especially when you have to turn around on Thursday. So that's where we're at. The lines, again, they play hard.
Starting point is 00:10:00 They play hard every week, but you've got to find a way to win some of these games, and they're just not finding a way. And when you compound loss after loss after loss with the type of spotlight game here and the spotlight moment of the lines looking inept and unorganized and not sharp like they did late in this game. Well, it's tough. It's tough. But I hope the people of Detroit and the greater Detroit area still have a great Thanksgiving and everyone else as well. It is my honor to do this show and to do this podcast and to connect with all you guys.
Starting point is 00:10:42 So thank you to everybody. Now, let's reset. As I said, this is just the first game of a triple header. Up next, we have Mark Sessler talking the middle game on the schedule. That is the Raiders against the Cowboys, do or die for the Raiders, it feels like. And then Greg on Saints, Bills. But like I said, Mark Sessler, take it away. Quiet Storm.
Starting point is 00:11:08 I know he had. Mark said he was having an apple for his solo Thanksgiving feast. so I don't know if he's had the apple yet or if that comes after the game like he treats himself. I have no idea how he plays that, but God bless Mark as well. After these highlights, you will hear from the quiet storm. All right, everybody. Pass play down the middle to go, and it's there. That's Deshaun Jackson.
Starting point is 00:11:31 Tick-chowing for the touchdown. From the 32 second and nine, down the field they go, and it is a touchdown to Toulton-Schultz. as both teams have so much on the line with one kick. Here we go, this time for real, and it is delivered. Good, the Raiders win it. And those were just some of the moments from a game just packed with moments, a game that morphed into really nothing short of a thriller here on Thanksgiving Thursday in America as the Las Vegas Raiders topped the Dallas Cowboys 36 to 33 in overtime.
Starting point is 00:12:11 Thank you, Dan Hansis. This is Mark Sessler. Let's go through this game. Let's kind of unpack it to some degree. We could spend 55 minutes on it if we want. I think they want me to do this in about seven. So we'll do the Cliff Notes version if we can. I want to start in overtime, though.
Starting point is 00:12:28 You know, Dallas wins the toss. They're backed up, essentially, deep in their own territory. They're at their own seven. They get into a third and four situation, and it really became, I thought, the first ill-advised throw of Dak Prescott in the entire second half into overtime. He just was lights out down the stretch, but missed Noah Brown or reserved wide out on third and four,
Starting point is 00:12:50 underthrew him, flat out just kind of underthrew him a little bit off target. They have to punt the ball, the Raiders get it back, and I wanted to mention this because it wasn't just driving down the field to kick the game-winning field goal by Daniel Carlson that we just heard. It was on a third and 18 after a big Micah Parsons sack on Derek Carr that could have been, you know, the highlight we would play. Instead, it was Anthony Brown, Cowboys cornerback, getting flagged for his fourth pass interference of the game.
Starting point is 00:13:19 And this theme, each of them were big. They happened on third downs, and they cost Dallas points. And if you're Anthony Brown, I just, you almost, like, I watch a player like that on an island game like this on Thanksgiving, and you just want to run away. You want to get in your car and drive to, like, deep Mexico. If that's him, I maybe think about doing that, But look, it wasn't just on him, but the Dallas Cowboys mistakes were indicative of something much larger that happened in this game.
Starting point is 00:13:46 The zebras, the refs, the umpire guys, these dudes, I don't know what was up with these people. But the officials in this game were about as camera hungry and attention seeking as one could imagine. They threw no less than 14 penalties on both teams, 28 flags total for 200. outrageous 276 yards, and so many of them came on pass interference penalties, and Anthony Brown, who had four of them, as I mentioned in this game, all of them on critical third and longs, third downs, an early one where Deshaun Jackson caught him on a deep route, right into deep Dallas territory near the goal line, set up a quick Raiders touchdown. I mean, that was on him.
Starting point is 00:14:32 You know, it was Deshaun Jackson who opened the scoring earlier with a 56-yard catch and run. I mean, looked great on that. You know, they only got him a couple weeks ago. If he can do that for him every game, it helps a lot after the loss of Henry Ruggs. No way around it. Hunter Renfro had a huge 54-yard catch late in this one as well. They really, I think, tired out the Dallas defense. They owned the ball for nearly 40 minutes.
Starting point is 00:14:57 And it wasn't your typical run the ball left and right. This team cannot run the ball, the Raiders. But it was big shots. That's who they are. And Dallas let them back in over and over. But Dallas's offense as well got very high. down the stretch. It was not easy out of the gate. You don't have Amari Cooper. There's no CD lambs. So your passing game, obviously, if your Dallas, was completely changed coming into this.
Starting point is 00:15:19 It helped to have Tyron Smith back at left tackle. But I thought they came out doing what we thought they'd do, which was try to run the ball with Zeke Elliott, with Tony Pollard. And, you know, Zeke Elliott wasn't really the primary guy today because he's dealing with that knee. They kind of gave it to Pollard. And it worked here and there. But it put them into too many tough third down situations early and at one point it seemed like they kind of just ditched the ground game and said you know what we're going to believe that cedric wilson can do this michael gallop we already know what he can do cedric wilson had a huge 51 yard grab in this michael gallop a 41 yarder tony pollard i thought had one of the biggest plays of the game with an electrifying 100 yard kickoff return
Starting point is 00:16:00 that lifted the cowboys entirely as this thing became kind of insane to watch from the eyes it was not easy out of the gate for Dallas. I mean, you don't have Amari Cooper. You don't have C.D. Lamb that totally compromises what you want to do with their explosive passing attack. They just didn't look explosive early on. It helped to have Tyron Smith back at left tackle. But they came in doing what I think a lot of us thought they do against a bad Raiders
Starting point is 00:16:28 run defense, which was try to use the ground game. It just didn't really work. It kept putting them into third down situations. And at one point, I think they just ditched that whole plan and said, let's just start throwing the ball. They showed Faith in Cedric Wilson, 100 plus yards today. And Michael Gallup, of course, we know what he can do. He had a huge 41-yard grab that set up a field goal. Wilson had a 51-yarder of himself.
Starting point is 00:16:51 I mean, it wasn't really until, like, you know, second half that these big plays started to happen. They started to form up and creep up for the Cowboys. And for the Raiders, both teams, zero turnovers. It was a clean game on that front, not penalties-wise, and a lot of holding penalties killed Las Vegas. But Derek Carr played a wonderful game down the stretch. They themselves lost Darren Waller, their star-tight end, one of the biggest security blankets in the league for their quarterback, Derek Carr. I mean, he was gone by mid-second quarter. Hunter Renfro steps up with 100-plus yards.
Starting point is 00:17:27 Deshaun Jackson, we talked about the 56-yard touchdown, the huge pass interference. I mean, they got him a couple weeks ago to essentially mask over the loss of Henry Ruggs. You know, if he can give them that every week, you're fine. I don't think you're going to get that every week. But today he was huge in that game for the Raiders' offense. It's the kind of game that makes you wonder what the Raiders are capable of because they're now six and five smack dab in the AFC playoff race. This was the good version of their offense.
Starting point is 00:17:57 We haven't seen that every week. They can't run the ball. They still can't run the ball. It just, I'm tired of that experiment, although you've got to keep trying, I guess. The Cowboys right now sit at seven and four. You look at Washington, you look at the way the Eagles are playing, and the NFC East is no sure thing. But tough loss for Dallas.
Starting point is 00:18:17 They've now lost three of four. This was not a no-show like we saw against the Broncos. This wasn't the limited offense we saw against Kansas City. From one angle, I think it was encouraging against, it was the Raiders defense. But they got hot down the stretch. So I'm not totally freaking out about Dallas. It's just that it's a tough pill to swallow the way this game went back and forth over and over. And to even be either one of the quarterbacks to tumble and fall at the end, it didn't feel fair.
Starting point is 00:18:49 Other things happened in this game with a thousand storylines, there was a huge fight that caused the ejection of Kelvin Joseph for the Cowboys and Roderick Teamer for the Raiders. special teams play Total Madness The halftime show Was some man name Hold on Let me look this up Luke Combs
Starting point is 00:19:09 A country singer If you're if I don't I'm not a huge country person So attack me as you will But he was singing and drinking Who knows what Out of a Red Solo Cup Although I think it was beer
Starting point is 00:19:20 Because he was singing about beer There are other things We could discuss here But I you know I feel like This was essentially A saved the season scenario for the Raiders and if you're Dallas teams have had to do this all year long
Starting point is 00:19:36 win those games without your star players we saw that with with the Ravens and Tyler Huntley a week ago we've seen it almost every week and they fell just short it would have been a huge um moral and tangible victory to get to eight and three without your two best wide receivers it didn't happen today too bad for the Cowboys they're still around the Raiders are still around everyone's still around Like all but three teams are alive and kicking right now. Let's take you to two more of those, the Buffalo Bills and the New Orleans Saints. You know, Greg Rosenthal, I'm at my house, and people ask, like, what did you eat for Thanksgiving? I'm getting a lot of those tweets.
Starting point is 00:20:17 I ate, there was some leftover Indian food, so I had a couple pieces of nonbread and rice that was like roughly three days old, two days old. Greg, however, is a workhorse. He actually flew to New Orleans. He is covering this game live from the Superdome, and we're going to take you right to Greg at this point. Happy Thanksgiving. I just want to say thank you to everyone that listens to this show, to this episode, to every episode, the in-season, the off-season. I don't care where you are in the world. We thank you.

Starting point is 00:23:38 Bill's victory over New Orleans to end this Thanksgiving recap and a Thanksgiving full of football. Thanks to Mark Sessler for just a wild recap that I'm going to be listening to on my drive to work Friday morning, NFL Network, around the NFL show got the plug in early everyone listened to it on Saturday but before we get to that we got to talk about uh this game and I'm going to do it in a list because like lists are easy and uh my mind is is not clear always and uh everyone loves lists and so this is going to be like 12 things if you miss the game to know or to know about you know my life on thanksgiving number one like I actually think you can take some things away from this game and I'm going to do this 12 as quick as humanly possible I think you can take some things
Starting point is 00:24:26 away from this game from the bills. Not that many because this was the B-Team Saints and it's getting late early for a lot of teams in the NFL like this Saints team. But one thing I think you could take from the bills is that Josh Allen running the ball is such a big part of the bills solving what defenses are trying to do to them. All the defenses are backing up. They're making them go down with these long drives over and over. You need a running game to beat that. You don't really have one, but you do have Josh Allen. That's Cam Newton from 20. If they really wanted to use him in that way, Sean McDermott knows how valuable that kind of runner is. And you saw more design runs.
Starting point is 00:25:03 You saw scrambles on the biggest plays of the game. And I think as you get closer to the playoffs, Josh Allen running is so important for this team. I know it was only 43 yards on the ground, but it was like the four biggest third down plays of the game. He's either design run or he's scrambling and he's getting it done. My second point, Alan was on point though passing. This is one of his better throwing days of the year. I know he had two picks. One of them, he was hit while he was thrown.
Starting point is 00:25:27 But otherwise, he fit the ball into tight windows. He was on point. He was accurate. If he does that every week, they are tough to beat. He is not normally that accurate. That was an awesome performance by Josh Allen. Number three, Stefan Diggs. That route on Marshawn Latimore.
Starting point is 00:25:44 That was filthy, man. Like, why do you got to do Marshawn Latimore like that? He not only threw that route on him, he looked at the man afterwards. And he just, that's just like, Ownership. I know Diggs is not the all-pro this year. It's probably Jefferson or Devante Adams or Debo Samuel or Cooper Cup. Like those are your top guys.
Starting point is 00:26:07 For my money, I think I still take stuff on Diggs. Maybe over all of them. He can do everything. He's my number one. The Saints team is driving me crazy, though. My fourth point. The Saints play the same damn game every week. It's tough to watch.
Starting point is 00:26:20 I saw the craziest stat from Pro Football Focus this week. Trevor Simeon is the last ranked quarterback in terms of their grades out of 47 qualifiers in quarters one through three. He is the number one ranked PFF quarterback in fourth quarter. Like people got on Jalen Hertz for the garbage time stuff. Trevor Simeon is the king of garbage time, which gets me to my fifth point. Like I just want to apologize to James Winston
Starting point is 00:26:47 for some blasphemous things I said a couple weeks ago that they hadn't downgraded at quarterback. I said yet. Those first two starts, team Trev was like riding. The bus was going. We've gone over a cliff. Trevor's rough. Like, he's not going to survive without his tackles and without Camara and Ingram,
Starting point is 00:27:05 but it's still rough. At some point, we got a we want Taysom chant from the crowd, which is like, we even got it from Twitter, who loves clowning on Tassum, especially after that contract. And I'm wondering, like, where he is? Mike Torrico said he's got a foot injury. So the Saints are lying. they're either lying that he's got a foot injury to make it sound better
Starting point is 00:27:26 that they're benching him for Trevor Simeon and not even playing him at all or they're lying on the injury report because he's not even on the injury report anymore they're lying one way or another wouldn't be the first time we got to see tase him next week Thursday night against the cowboys they can't keep doing Trevor point seven Sean Payton's aggressiveness very confusing to me like no one has taken more cowardly field goals over the last two weeks one against Tennessee, one against Philadelphia, when they're down two scores
Starting point is 00:27:55 to cut it to 10 or to 13 in those kids. And yet he's going out here on fourth down and he's calling for fake punts, looking for Blake Gilliken to throw dimes in tight coverage to Lil Jordan Humphrey. It's like, you know, it's a problem when Gilliken and Humphrey not being on the same page is a problem for the Saints.
Starting point is 00:28:14 Point number eight, I'm sick of talking about the saint. Chardavius White's injury is a problem. For the Bills, it did not look good. He is so important to that defense. They are built to stop the pass. He's a great run-stopping corner. Hopefully it's not that serious, but it looks serious. I just, I feel bad for the Bills there,
Starting point is 00:28:34 but I am happy for the Bills to enjoy this one. Point 9. The Bills Mafia taken over. Never seen it happen in the Superdome quite like that. That was impressive to go down there and take over a tough place to take over. Again, never seen it. pretty awesome point 10 i want a little more from jubris tonight i got to i got to admit like i know people are giving him credits like oh he he he talked about you know how to throw the ball accurately and he
Starting point is 00:29:01 you know all this it's like you would have thought he was trent green calling the jaguars game for half of this game you wouldn't even know when he ever played uh the saints like it sounds like i'm being tough on him it's his first game and all that but you know you're trying to take over it's like philip rivers when he was a rookie you know he showed up late for camp And he's trying to take Drew Breeze's job. That's Chris Collinsworth right now. He's Drew Breeze. He's on his way to the Hall of Fame.
Starting point is 00:29:26 This is a big time. Like, you went right into one of the biggest chairs. He was kind of putting me to sleep. He was barely there for a while, so I hope it gets better. Point number 11. Now I'm into my life, just thinking about Thanksgiving. I'm so thankful for so many things. But, you know, I was thankful for the moment today and, you know, happens every Thanksgiving.
Starting point is 00:29:44 You know, when my wife, Emick, is just carving up that turkey. She is so good with that knife. Like, she went to culinary school. You know, I see people clowning everyone putting the pictures out there for Thanksgiving. Their pictures, like, you wouldn't be clowning the pictures at my house. It's some culinary shit. Like, I love my wife no more than when I'm seeing her with that knife. Mmm, some good food.
