I'm Dan Hansis, joined by heroes. Greg Rosenthal, Mark Sessler, and I don't know if we've made it official yet, but I feel like Rachel Benetta is kind of a hero. She joins us again as well on the FFS.

Guys, I'm honored. Thank you. I love that. Wow. Would it be heroin, though? Heroin versus, I mean, you are a hero. Why do you have to drag our gender into it? We're emitting to the show and I've already caused an issue.

Wild. Well, Mark's been on the inside a while now and, you know, the gender discussion that's, you know, a big part of the cultural debate these days. You know, he's like the guy that comes out of prison and he gets his clothes back and he's got a leisure suit and a gold chain, you know, from the disco era at this point. Yeah. Catch up. It's 2022. Well, I will. good comeback mark a lot to get to today I'm very excited

last week Claibon came in off the top rope with a tremendous debut for It's About Me this week it's the debut of Rachel it's about me and who knows who knows what direction she'll take it

so excited about that we're going to get you caught up to date on the latest injury news we have a game that is being shifted, uh, to the motor city. Uh, we will have our fearless predictions. But first, let's talk about the game from week 11 that has already been played Thursday night in Lambo. Oh, it's a grave digger special. Let's hit it. Henry throws touchdown tight. Henry took the hand off and then hit Hooper with a jump pass for a big sixer. Oh, man. Wow. Wow. Wow. Wow. Yes. Well,

in Lambo. Well in Lambo. Mike Keith with the call with Dave McGinnis on Titans Radio. What a game. What a performance by the Tennessee Titans who just keep getting better. They win for

the six time in seven weeks with a 2717 win over the Green Bay Packers at Lambeau Field. Did I even get that right, Justin? Is it six out of seven or seven out of eight? Three stickers. All right. Seven out of eight.

Nice. All right. Anyway, so you have a great game from the offense. Ryan Tannehill has his most productive day of the season going over 300 yards, two touchdowns. Just one mistake. Otherwise, it was pretty brilliant. Derek Henry didn't get it going on the ground, but he did everything else, including that touchdown pass. You heard to Austin Hooper.

And in general, Greg, this was a dominant effort, I thought, by the Titans, who just looked. like the better team as the Packers, I guess, fade away. They are fading away, not feeling bad about that fork anymore. This is just a mediocre team. It's going to work out just fine because of the schedule because they're playing good teams like the Titans and they're not as tough. We've got to give the Titans their flowers before, you know, digging that fork in a little more.

I thought that was one of Ryan Tana Hill's best games as a Titan. 5.30 plus yard plays. I think four of them traveled. over 25 yards in the air. He had a couple great third and sevens, third and nines to keep the drives going. He had that dart for a touchdown to Austin Hooper. Don't sleep on Ryan Tannehill. You give them a little bit of protection, even against a good pass defense.

They kind of attacked Green Bay in a way that most teams haven't this year, and they did it with Bobby Trees looking a little better. We're seeing some of these guys that tore ACLs in 2021 start to pick it up in the latter portions of this season. Robert Woods is doing that. And then Traylon Burks returns and caps it off with a big play at the end. And that was Mike Vrable, given an old middle finger to his offensive coordinator in Tennessee a couple years ago, Matt LaFleur, because he remembers the last time they played Green Bay in Lambo.

And they threw a 50-yard bomb to Devante Adams up like 3317 or something like that at the end. And so he did it right back to his guy, Matt LaFleur. I loved it. It was like as hopeless as this game was for Green Bay. It was hopeful for Tennessee. I mean, they kind of reversed some of their major issues. They've been playing essentially around the wide receiver position for months on end. And last night, you get a big game from Traylon Burks, Robert Woods.

The 43-yard, Berks, like, catch right out of the gate kind of showed you what they were going to be aggressive last night. It wasn't just Derek Henry and nothing else. I'm with you, Greg. I think, like, Ryan Tannahill may not be everyone's cup of tea. But if he's your kind of quarterback, I mean, I sat there just thinking, like, this is one of my favorite games of the year because of what the Titans do. And I'm thinking back to the Chiefs game, Mike Rabel. Because you hate the Packers, and this kind of buried them. It's honestly, honestly, it's way more about the Titans. I think I'm,

I'm ready to say goodbye to the Packers. And this, this didn't keep. You think? After the, after the Cowboys game, everyone's like, oh, everything's fine now. It was just a mirage. The Packers are going to roll from here. Nonsense. The Packers have unfixable issues. And it's a team like Tennessee that put the Clamps on Patrick Mahomes a couple weeks ago. They match up defensively so well. They find a way to individually match up with every team they play. That is All Mike Rable, who is a top three, top five coach in my book, totally glanced over on that category.

I love this, and I have a question for Gravedigger. If he'll come back on the screen here. I have been looking for a team to follow this year, and I've danced around a couple options. No way. It is not going to be the Cleveland Browns. I am asking Grave Digger permission. to be a Titans bandwagon fan for the rest of the season.

If you will have me, I would love to join you on this journey. On behalf of Titans Nation and Titans Twitter and all Titans fans everywhere, we would love to welcome you aboard, Mark. Welcome to Titan up, baby. Let's go. You know, hey, Gregi, I know that Mark is giving you a lot of heat about dropping the Patriots as soon as Tom Brady left. How about Cessler moving away from the Browns at 3 and 7

with Watson coming back. I support it. I support it. He likes multiple teams. We don't have to take sports fandom so seriously that you can only enjoy one out of 32 teams. Do I think Mark Sessler is going to have his heartbroken if they lose in the first round of the playoffs? No. So that's part of the next game.

That's part of the thing. It's just like a fun little thing. He's just bad luck. Dare I say this, guys, the Titans, like, I don't even want to use this word because it's going to cream me out. The Titans looked like sex. last night. They were playing like sexy football. Do you remember? I think it happened in the second quarter. Ryan Tannahill, like all of a sudden it's just like running up to his guys and he he's just like scattered and he's looking to the sideline being like like stop the

game. Something's happening. Something's wrong. And then all of a sudden the ball gets snapped to Derek Henry. He flies over. They get a first down. That's sexy. I don't know what he was about. Why is it when you say sexy? It sounds so terrifying. A little field despian in that moment was perfect. I love.

I was like, oh my God. This is days of our lives. Yeah, not to make light of the issue, but Todd Downing, the offensive coordinator, got a DUI last night.

Not sexy. After the game. And, you know, I was texting a little bit with Gravedigger this morning. It's like he was probably celebrating too hard

because that was a brilliant game plan that he unfurled filled with fun trick plays and all this other stuff that everything worked. Like everything worked. against the Green Bay defense. And like, you know, one thing I'll push back on a little bit.

Obviously, the Packers are pretty much done now unless they got the Eagles next week. But the game was there for it to be go down to the last second. And Rogers went back to missing just open receivers and huge spots in the fourth quarter. There were multiple possessions where they were set up to cut this game down to a field goal, get it back to a one score. game the defense had a couple stops in the fourth quarter and rogers killed him and i also thought that you know at one point herb street was letting rogers off the hook because on the last drive which was kind of doomed anyway they just didn't have enough time and they burned their timeouts bizarrely with five minutes to go um you know there was a play where the receivers kind of all went

deep and didn't come back to rogers and he took the sack that kind of ended the game and and herbstreate made a point to just kill the receivers for not being on the same page as their quarterback in a scramble drill. And it was like, whatever, dude, maybe that was not the greatest moment for those receivers. But I thought Aaron Rogers, as brilliant as he was the previous week, with everything right on target, again, was doing what he's done so much this season, which is just misthrows that should be money in the bank. And that really jumped out to me in this game. Do you think that I do think the thumb has a little something to do with it. I get that in Dallas, he was precise. But you're talking about it's snow flurry, addled Green Bay night. I think your

joints, your hands can change little, I don't know, just a... I mean, he's played his entire career there. It was like a lot of Rogers games. It was erratic. Like the first two and a half quarters, I would say he looked ferocious. They didn't ask him to do as much. You know, they still were running the ball up, but he looked great for two and a half quarters that, you know, I think the Titans were playing good defense.

And then you're right, in the fourth quarter, they got four chances to make a drive and make that a game. That was the first time of the game, the Packers defense actually stood up. kept getting the ball back, got an interception off Tana Hill. And he went eight for 16 for 60 yards in those four drives. And that last drive you mentioned, Dan, where they got the ball back with about five minutes to go. And they just took like three minutes to go about 20 yards. And there was no hurry and there's the mistrows and miscommunication.

And I know I'm a Patriots fan, but I just was thinking, like, Tom Brady would not have that drive. It's just like, things would not be so disorganized. And that's where Aaron Rogers needs to take control. And it just like, he doesn't have that this year. I think if there's one, like, positive thing that we could take away for the Packers from last night is that Aaron actually, like, took responsibility for the game going poorly. Like, for once this season, he wasn't like, I don't have anybody to throw to. Maybe we should bench these guys and start some other guys.

The wrong guys are out there. Like, he was just like, that was my fault. Wait until McAfee. I also don't think they're as bad as the Packers. The Packers beat writers are talking about them. They're not going to win another game this year. And they're like one of the worst teams. And like, no, they're just one of those teams that are in every game and find a way to lose.

They're like a slight, they're a better version of the Raiders. So they could beat anyone. They could beat the Eagles next week, but they're not going to beat enough teams to I understand why I so obviously how do you, how could you not understand it? Because you went from FAR to Rogers in these last 20 some odd years. But there is certainly, you know, the fan base and the media as well that just doesn't know how to process a season like this. Like in the past, whenever a Packer season is kind of.

had gone this way. It's one of those years, typically where Rogers is hurt and banged up. So just for them to just not get it done, I think it's been a rude awakening. And just to echo what you said, Mark, you have Rabel, I think everyone has always been in agreement. Yeah, he's a good coach. He's done a great job for them. And, you know, I know we're all celebrating right now that the Titans here in late November, but they don't have a great track record in January. I'd like to see them take that next step as a team against the top. competition. But he really does deserve so much more credit than he gets. Like he should be in that conversation as a top five coach. I think he's proving it year after year. They take things off

the table from him and he just adjusts like a Belichick, the guy that he played under and finds a way to make it work by the time the season hits the stretch run. I think it's interesting. So many of these Patriots coaches that go elsewhere, obviously flounder. It's almost like they're, that's a question why. I mean, from Romeo Cornell to Josh McDaniels. It's like they're mystifyingly inept at head coach, the head coaching role. But Vrable, who did not have the traditional go through all the other steps with New

England, like he is the most Belichekian offshoot there is. And I know, Greg, you mentioned that before, but I just see that like that Chiefs game, I know they lost, it was a heartbreaker. It's like, that was the turning point for me, not last night. It's just like, no matter who they play, they find a way to create total befuddlement for the offense they're dealing with. And it's like they are missing a ton of guys on that side of the ball. And it doesn't ever seem to matter.

I think that's great coaching. Right, because he doesn't try to be Belichick. He's his own guy and he's very charismatic leader and his own dude. But in the way that they approach games and that they create game plan specifics, especially on defense week to week and adjust it and then can overcome their shortcomings. Like last night, their center is 270 pounds. He's barely heavier than Derek Henry. And they're missing their pro bowl type center with Ben.

Jones and he's getting killed all game, but they just kind of work, they always work around these things. I think he does a really good job like Belchick like that. Did I ever tell you guys a story of one time I went to a club, which I don't do? And Vrable was there and he had just bought a horse and the horse won this like big race. It was maybe top by weirdest experiences. It was at a grunk party after the Super Bowl or before the Super Bowl last year. You know, we've we've covered many league events over the years. And Derek, I would say, Mike Vrable is in the club of head coaches that know how to have fun

when you spot them out on the time. Agreed. Yeah, I know Greg has seen a few things that he will not disclose on this show. Why wouldn't he? You don't think he's loyal to the show? Be like me. No, there was a strange thing that, you know, something,

you guys know the story. Yes, no, we don't need to share that one. But it's fun. Can I hear it after? Yes. All right. Let's, before we move on to Rachel's big platform, Let's check in with the viewers.

Again, live stream every Friday. Not next week, by the way. Not next week we have, it's a Thanksgiving, post- Thanksgiving. We're going to be recapping the three games on Thanksgiving on Friday. Next week in the morning, it will go out as a regular podcast, but then we'll be right back the week after and for the rest of the year. This from Graham, 16.66% G. Stay strong, Mark. The UK fan base stands with you.

We will get you out of that penitentiary. I don't think people get it. It's like a letter writing campaign. It's, again, like endless reading of novels, lifting weights, a very compact, recognizable, predictable diet. It's fantastic. And again, let's keep it real here. It is not a penitentiary.

It is a Greenwich, Connecticut Reform Center that features tennis. Yeah, you're allowed to do things that would surprise the average civilian, I promise. Can I ask you guys, have you ever gotten one of those emails that's like, oh, so-and-so is trying to send you an email from jail? No, actually. I get those multiple times a year. I think it's one of those things like girls have to deal with a lot of stuff that guys don't even know about. You're getting emails from jail. I don't know. They can get podcasts in jail. You just don't know that.

You can, there is a vibrant avenue out there to have female jailed pen pals if you went to, if you wanted to go down on that road, if you were a certain lonely individual. I've seen that. I've seen that out there. if I'm if I'm going to dabble in that area I'll start with the toe picks I'm not going to go straight to like writing letters to jail you know and that seems like I think it's one of the more curious human um storylines the women who do reach out to the guy that's a serial killer of women in jails and then marry the guy through in jail yeah in jail like what what is going on what was going on with the relationship with your dad years earlier let's move on what else we got the ultimate bad boy. A.V. Mail. If Twitter goes down, do the heroes have alternate ways of communicating their real-time game watching thoughts to us the fans? I did, I have to say, because apparently Elon Musk, who now owns Twitter, had shut down the building and its operations last night. And it's just funny seeing everyone clutching their pearls. I'm like, oh, my God, it's finally over. Well, if this is the end, I just want to say it's been a great time with all you guys.

All right, everybody's just relax. And follow me on TikTok. Just relax. Right. Has anyone clicked follow on those extra places to follow? It'll be fine. Twitter is going to stick around. And I saw one tweet that was kind of like, this was amazing, but I'm definitely not chasing this elsewhere.

Like if this ever, I don't believe this will end. But yeah, like it was fun. It was a unique time. But I have no doubt it's sticking around. And there are people way smarter than me that would can explain why it would make sense for Elon Musk, I guess, hypothetically, to buy Twitter for $70 billion. and then just shudder it. But you know what?

I don't care to even know what the explanation is. I'm sure Twitter's going to still be here a year from now. Don't hold it. Don't hold me to that, but don't even worry about it. There's a lot of more important things in the world going on. What else? Eric Blazel has the NFL become a league where winning becomes a war of attrition. The healthiest teams tend to be winning as teams unless they can be coached through it,

a la Braves. Duh. Rachel? Duh? Yeah. yeah that's that's part of the game it's a brutal game it helps although there's like a million examples of teams overcoming it one of those Patriots teams the Eagles that year they won the Super Bowl had lost like seven starters so it's all unpredictable it helps like if you're healthy

like you should play a man down because that's not fair yeah exactly yeah it's Eric I think building a roster with depth will always whatever the sport is help you well because it is a physical game. Samwise Ganges. Samwise Gunge. Will Josh Allen throw more picks against the Browns than Mark has shirt buttons done up? Yeah. Again, Mark, you are in a reform center. You got to be careful there. Maybe take it up a button. Would somebody steal your buttons? I have total freedom to dress as I wish in this reform center. Is money in jail just buttons? And you just have to like get rid of them. Yeah, you're close to the answer there. I also be totally transparent. There is a human being outside a nearby window leaf blowing at a decibel level that I can't even hear what you guys are saying. I'm wishing

he will go find a new place to attend to the grass. I guess that's the downgrade of having a huge leafy courtyard for your time outside of the cell. All right. Anything else or should we get to it? All right. Last one. Felicia Barker asks, question I've been meaning to ask for weeks, but keep missing the show. Should the Raiders have made Basatia, the full-time head coach? Yes, of course, Basatia, Jeff Basatia. He was the man who took over for John Gruden after Gruden resigned or was fired in disgrace after those emails went public. That was a pretty crazy slash shady storyline in general. And then he helped lead the Raiders to the playoffs. Greg, should he have kept the job in retrospect?

no because that felt like fools gold they were winning these crazy games and more importantly like that would mean just keeping the whole operation and I I enjoy our former colleague Mike Mayak's work you know as a media member but you know those those draft picks and his moves are kind of why they're in this position so I'm scared All right, it's time for... Stupid. Um, all right. Without further ado, Rachel Benetta.

It is. It's about me. Okay. Um, Thanksgiving is next week, right? Everyone's used to sitting down at the table, going around, saying what they're thankful for. Not me. I want to tell you guys what I am unthankful for at this very moment. I suggest you all try it.

Okay, some things could be interesting with your family members. Number one, I am unthankful for the fact that D.K. Metcalf can eat bags and bags of sugar, but when I do it, I'm going through a dark time. Not okay. People that don't pull their cars up all the way when you're parking on the side of the street and you don't pull your car up to the next car, you're selfish, okay? Restaurants that don't bring you bread.

You want me to starve? People that ask to share gum, buy your own gum, okay? You're not poor. You can afford some gum. You're not having any of mine. I'm unthinkful of the fact that Tom Brady didn't look at me once, even though I kept on saying, Tom over here, Tom, over here.

Tom. Tough sitch. Not once. And finally, coffee is better in Europe and we live in America. And I'm very unthankful for that. Interesting. That's it. All right.

How about this? You were both in England. And I know we have a lot of UK listeners and wonderful job, Rachel, in your debut. Thank you. A lot of UK listeners. I felt they had a little bit of like, you know, that, that meme of the the guy walking with his girlfriend and he's looking back at the other girl. A little bit of that with Germany last week, because everybody was so excited about Germany.

Germany v. England, coffee. Germany. Yeah. I really, um, you guys still got tea over there. Yeah, I really loved that, um, that it's about me. But I also like the idea. I was imagining myself as the guys in the, what is it, the House of Commons in the UK who either like go, ha, ha, or moo, boo to everything that the other people say.

We should just do that. I think that that's a fun thing to try at Thanksgiving dinner. Everyone, when you're thankful, your family, da, da, da, da, da, that. It can get spicy. Well, I think you're unthankful for us. Yeah, you're zigging when it's the week of like, let's write down our list of what we're grateful for and everything. So it's like, you know what? Yon, like it's, I like what you did there.

you took it to a different energy. And by the way, like I had my sports lock of the week on this show a week ago that either you or Colleen would get a selfie with Tom Brady. So the fact that he just flat out ignored you and Heisman you and that to that severe level is bothersome to me. Do you think he heard you?

I was literally screaming at the top of my lungs. He, I know he's a little bit elderly. He might be hard of hearing, but not that hard. Where were you exactly? Like I don't need to just. I was on the sideline, my guy. Hmm.

I can feel the steam from his jacket, you know? Okay. He's used to people just kind of yelling at him and ignoring them, but I think that that's what he did. I don't like it. I will say it was very cool to see him play in person. Wish he caught that ball. That would have been.

And I love that Germany was in on the joke. Like when Tom Brady tripped, everyone just started laughing. And I was just like, we're all having fun here. We're friends. It does feel, it feels like I think maybe because you're,

because we've done the trip obviously overseas several times now. When you're in that stadium and you're sharing this American game and everyone's enjoying it together, it definitely has a communal feel that's just a little bit different. That, yeah, it's a vibe. Well, they put this like man up on the JumboTron and he had his shirt off and he had like two sausages and was just like, and I'm like, we're all the same.

We're the exact same. I'm basically in America. right now. Let's check back in with the viewers before we get to our update on week 11. How disappointed are you? The Bill's game was moved out of Buffalo that from Lucid Dre 4M. Mark, I'm going to throw this one to you. I drafted this game, but I think we're on the exact same page here. Well, so I, you know, I tweeted about this a couple times and I'm getting comments back. You don't understand like the civic side of this and the transportation of getting people to. I do not not understand that. I where you're coming from. I don't want anyone to be struck by thunder. You're not engaging with those

idiots, are you? No, no. I mean, I see that it's like sort of a, like a, you're up on your soapbox telling me what I should feel about a snow game. Just from a natural concept of like watching this game unfold in Buffalo in a thunderstorm snow scenario with like natural lighting coming from the heavens. And both teams struck running like the same play on the ground over and over. I wanted to see it. I just really wanted to see it. I think it's this time of year. It was beautiful to see flurries fall in Lambeau last evening. It's suddenly, like in the last week or two, we're getting weather games. And this was an opportunity for like a visual feast.

And now it's going to go into a dome in Detroit. It's also what they did with it. Take it somewhere that can challenge us from a beauty angle. You're taking it to the dome in Detroit. I cannot. I'm not involved. I don't, I no longer care. What else do we got?

You gave me more than I expected, Mark. Mike Aguire. For Dan, which QB would you wrap? have on the Jets next year, Carr or Jimmy G. Derek Carr, definitely. I think Carr just has a higher ceiling. I don't know about Jimmy. Did you like the theatrics?

Fake tears. Colleen. Who, Derek Carr? Yeah. He's an emotional guy. I like that too. And I like that he has a bizarre accent that cannot be placed by any linguistic. You seem skeptical.

I haven't heard this take this week of the car emotions. Watch it back. Watch it back. It's giving Oscar buzz is all I'm saying. That's coming from. an actress so like this rachel will not be appearing on total access with david car anytime soon anything else their grave digger john k's question when will you guys apologize to tua oh we've been giving two a credit for weeks i'm not listening to that catch up why did why is it so important to people that

like everyone else loves their players as much as then and i and i um for the record we i feel like i was higher than consensus on twoa all of last year saying like he's solid he's solid and Now he's playing amazing. What do you want? No, I think they're, I think they're not, it's not just, why don't you like him as much as I do. It's people like me and many others who outright doubted his ability to, you know, play the guitar. And he certainly has. But I would say to John Case or Josh Case, just enjoy it, man. Don't worry about anybody else.

Just live it, man. Enjoy it. Live it life. All right. Let's now move on to the Greg Rosenthal Week 11. Injury Minute, presented by Akra Shore, a disturbingly inefficient Mall Santa screening service. I'm watching these updates as they're coming in.

Lamar Jackson missed practice Friday, but it's with an illness, and John Harbaugh believes he will be starting on Sunday, so it's not a major concern. Also, Mark Andrews is a game time decision on Sunday, but it's trending in a good direction. Gus Edwards also looking like he will be. probably return. DJ Reader's back for the Bengals. Their big nose tackle. That's good news. Zeke is going to be back according to Jerry Jones. Although Jerry Jones sneaky, not a reliable injury information source, but he says he's back in the same. Why is he doing injury reports? I mean, he does it on this radio every Friday morning. Good sorts. He also says DeMarcus Lawrence will play,

who hasn't practiced. So Jamar Chase, by the way, in that Bengals game, still out. Matthew Stafford practicing, expected to start. Jerry Judy has not practiced this week. I wouldn't expect to see him, at least as of Thursday. Colquemette return to practice, probably going to play for the Bears. A.J. Terrell, the best cornerback, maybe player on the Falcons, is back in practice. Minka Fitzpatrick is returning for the Steelers. DeAndre Swift is practicing in full for the first time in a while, so maybe he'll get more than 10 snaps.

Marquis Brown, a little bit of practice in Arizona. Kyler Murray also appeared to kind of really test out his hamstring in front of media in a more aggressive way than he did a week ago. That one might be updated by the time you hear this. So who knows? Juju Smith-Schuster hasn't practiced. He's in concussion protocol. McColl Hardman is on injured reserve.

David Najoku appears like he will be back for Mark's former team, the Browns. And that's all for you, Accresure. Wow. Did you have something to add, Rachel, to the Accrochure, injury minute? That I would like to be their spokesperson? That's it. You got to sell it. I could, I could, oh my gosh, my audience would love it.

I could make so much content. Please hire me to be your brand ambassador. Maybe Rachel could introduce that segment every week now. Is it like the cans of like smoothie that like make you feel full? I don't think so. I think it's been explained each week what it is. Yeah. I'm pretty sure it's changed every single time I've been on.

It's a diverse brand. I think you know how they have kind of baby boomer celebrities that show up selling life insurance, like airing commercials that air in the middle of the afternoon on NFL Network and other channels. I think that could be your lane on this. Midday infomercial shorts about actress or middle of the night when you like wake up on the couch like, oh my God, I fell asleep on the couch. There I am. I don't know how many zeros are on that contract, but it does. it gets you out there and that's we can talk let's talk all right it's time now for our

fearless predictions but before we give our predictions for this week let us go over what we had last week 10 predictions mark a player is forcefully kicked uh i'm sure tom brady tripping someone could be disgusted ah i like that's in that world it's in that world i don't think a trip is a kick but I'm staying out of that. Tony Romo starts weeping out of happiness because Patrick Mahomes does something great. Colleen and or Rachel

get a selfie with Tom Brady. O for three. D.H. Aaron Donald has multiple sacks and at least one force turnover. He didn't do anything. The Rams didn't do anything. No show. They gone. Greg Rosenthal, a second international chant of Gino, Gino, that's a ding.

I heard it. Big fourth quarter in a losing effort, but I did hear it. Did you hear it, Rachel? Yeah, it was just me. It was just me. Oh, did you guys collude on that? Claibon, more than 47 points scored between Niners and Chargers. They scored 38 combined.

So there you go. Let's mix it up. Mark, get us going with a fearless prediction. Okay, I have a rash of them. I'll be quick. One, the Jets drop a 40 burger on the Godless Patriots, and Zach Wilson cannot be talked about as a player the Jets simply dance around. He makes a bunch of big boy throws in this game and turns Bill Belichick's smile upside down. Number two, Greg texts Ian Rappaport three times by Sunday morning.

Ian is sluggish to respond. Greg must learn the method of cat and string technique when bugging in tighter. Number three, this is a hazy vision. I think this will happen if not this week. This happens to me sometimes in the next coming weeks, but I'm going to say in a week 11 game, a toddler slash child in the crowd will play a pivotal role in some fashion.

I don't know what. That's as much as I can tell you about that. And the final one, there will be an unexplained light, either a beam of light or a strange unsourced glow above Estadio Azteca in Mexico City at some point during Niners, Cardinals. Oh.

Scary. Greg. All right. I'm keeping this one simple. I'm saying that the team of around the league, team of ATL, goes to the metal land and romps over the Giants. And we're singing the ATL theme song with gusto on Sunday night.

All of us? He's got to win. Wow. I love that. All of us? Well, Mark probably won't, but we will sing it with gusto, me and you, Dan. Rach. Okay, this is hilarious because we actually talked about this earlier.

But my prediction is that the Jets win, but Twitter is down. So Dan is not going to be able to tell anybody how excited he is about it. I love it. And that's going to be really hard for him to take. Does he create a TikTok account on Sunday? I definitely will not create a TikTok account. Now I feel a little weird because I did want to touch on that game as well, but we're hitting it pretty hard in the prediction segment here.

Well, what's your prediction? Well, I've been ruminating on this Jets Patriots rivalry in 2022. No, really? It has. You might be surprised to know that. It was your about, it's about me last time that that was the game that would decide the future. Well, that's part of what I want to talk about, because what is it about the Patriots, Gregi, this fallen empire, this erstwhile dynasty organization of gradual decline that still inspires so much fear and intimidation. It's not the Jets players and it's not the front office or the coaching. I think it's about me.

I think it's about me and all the other Jets fans that have gone through. Vietnam for 20 years. So, starting right now, that's in the past. We do the old Dan Campbell move from Hard Knocks. You shake out the pants, you get all that dirt out of there, rid ourselves of those ghosts. So on Sunday, there is no more fear for Jets fandom. Sunday, we leave the past where it belongs.

Sunday, Jets fans, welcome a new tomorrow. Wow. On Sunday. On Sunday, the Jets will go to Foxborough and kick fucking ass. Whoa. There is your fearless prediction. Oh, my goodness. Oh, he's out.

He's gone? You can just do that? If I knew we could do that, I would have done that a long time ago. Oh, I just pretended that my laptop died last time. Derek Carrion. He's gone. I don't think he's coming back. You guys should just finish out the show.

And with that, we thank Dan Hansis, Rachel Bonetta, Justin Graver, Mike Rabel. We don't thank that offensive coordinator in Tennessee, but until Sunday. I don't think you thanked me, Greg. That's very unbranded.

Oh, Mark. I think he did that. I'm sorry. I just totally absurd. Mark. How about I'll handle the close-out host duties next time. Dan's probably just standing literally right next to the camera. Oh, he's going to see, he wants to see

how this all unfolds. Just like, he's the call. A bit pathetic. Hey, everybody, Daniel Jeremiah here. And I'm Bucky Brooks.
