Dolphins haven't converted their last five third downs.

They're 10. Down goes Tonguebloah. Patrick Jones got him. The dolphins lose. We're on the road. After a Monday night, it started out. Everything going right. scored three times, they turned it over twice, and we were up by 17. And that's about the time we did some dolphin things. Nobody here knows how to hold a lead. Some guy named Dowell ran for 200.

Where the hell is our R-R-D? I can't take more embarrassment. Make the season end. Make the season end. That is not good enough. And later on, as our last drive stalled, our center sum, how tackled to a, uh, this whole thing is a joke somebody really needs to put Chris Greer into the sea and Mike McDaniel two were so embarrassing tell Stephen Ross it just went down this thing how can I possibly watch 12 more games at least I still have fantasy I can't take this embarrassment make the season end God make the season it's not just the season it's the whole thing right because waddle gets

behind the secondary balls under thrown you're going to save your season And, oh, look, Carolina doesn't fear you at all. They're going to score too fast. They're going to leave you two minutes on the clock. They're not even going to just hold the ball and play. Oh, no, let's finish them. They won't drive down the field. Let's just finish their whole season, their whole architecture, the whole thing.

Even Greg Cody has abandoned them. And the Dolphins lost late to, oh, Bryce Young calls timeouts he doesn't have. That's the late game awareness that you want from your conquering quarterback to nowhere teams doomed. both of them doom no no I'm not I'm not choking on the peanuts that I can't stop eating

peanuts I'm not those Hampton farms the dolphin season ended yesterday and so too did Carolinas because I saw what

I saw what Tampa did I saw what Tampa did in Seattle and no one's going to win that division other than Tampa get out of here like obviously they've won it the last four years Carolina is not going to win it this year.

Carolina, you can hit us every once in a while with you beat Atlanta, 30 to nothing at home, whatever. The Dolphins led 17-0. The Panthers are down to offensive linemen, and they don't have their running back. And the dolphin season and the architecture ends there. Like, it's all over. When Greg Cody's abandon ship and we were all shouting at him, you're a month late, Greg. The whole experiment ends. It's not just this season ends.

It's, oh, no, you went all in on. McDaniel and Tyreek Hill and two end up fart noise. It's all over. You're, no, it's Dan Campbell, you had him. He's running the sport now, and he's daring you to eat his kneecaps. Like, he's just, he's churning his farm machines into the Great Beyond. We're all sad and done. Can we bury it?

Or is Billy going to do schedule talk when they beat Cleveland? Honestly, because Miles Garrett is tired. It's not, usually you could maybe allege that that's bit by Billy, but there is a path here. Yeah, it could be five, like it would be four and four, five and four head into that Bill's game. And that Bill's team, it looks susceptible yesterday. Yeah. They haven't, they haven't

beaten anybody. Who? The bills have. Well, I thought you're talking about the dolphins also. We thought they did week one. Boy, we really thought they did. What a win that was over Baltimore. And Baltimore, are they done? Is that the window? No. You don't think they're done? I don't think they're done. One and four? I don't think they're done.

I said it last week. I think they're still going to win the division. That is a weak division. and they got those games in hand but their only game is against Cleveland and you look back on it. What do you guys do though with the salary cap ridiculousness of the salary cap is $280

million. The Ravens have 160 million of it that can't play at the moment. So their defense isn't actually their defense. If I take seven guys off of their defenses it ceases to be their defense. I watch Tampa week in and week out

with big time names out and they find a way. Yes, I hear you. That is a damning stat. They are no doubt hurt, especially when their multiple-time MVP is out. Cooper Rush is, I've seen with my own eyes, Cooper Rush beat Joe Burroughs, Bengals.

All right? They should not be, I mean, the Houston Texans are a blight on the NFL season. They are so hard to watch. And did you see the point total they put up? I understand the injuries. That is more than just injuries. I would say now you feel how the same

Francisco 49ers feel every single season, right? They have 19 guys out every single year. Zagak. And what's the record of the 49ers, by the way? What are they? They were like a nine and a half point dog at So Fisading with a backup quarterback. That's tough. No George Kittle, with no Pierceaw, with no Jennings. They are, they are hurt. No Brock Purdy. No Brock. Like, what more do you want? Good teams find a way. Ravens. Not a good team. Really? So the organization that for 25 years has been one of the standards in the sport. So stunning that a month ago, we were talking about as they led in the fourth quarter at Buffalo, oh, the Ravens are going to be the same thing they've always been. Five games later, John Harbaugh doesn't

know what he's doing. The Ravens have a historically bad defense worse than the Dolphins historically bad defense. And it's because all their players are out and at least in part because, and this part, like, I don't even know why this part gets skated over as much as we obsess over the money. The Ravens only get to be that when they have huge value at quarterback, because the quarterback is playing both quarterback and running back, making your running back better. The running back's disposable. When you have huge value, then Lamar Jackson, as your MVP, you can win 12 games every year. But they've been paying Lamar for a while. But no, but no, he just signed the extension, and now some of the players that they could fill around in the roster

are not available to them. Once you get past the first layer of depth, they don't have any money to spend. Like, that is part of it. They're paying their quarterback better than they ever have, they have to. San Francisco point again. They're paying Brock 30 now? Yeah, but San Francisco point again when they can do it with any quarterback. Baltimore can only do it with one. I don't, if right now if I told our audience, hey, what do you think

Cooper Rush would look like in San Francisco? You'd be like he'd be 4 in 1. He'd be 4 in 1. He'd be 4 in 1. And Mac Jones is 4 and 1. He'd be 4 and 1. There are plenty of franchises that are plenty hurt and the Ravens aren't figuring it out and they're losing a bad team. It's like 44 to 10 to the Houston Texans? That is not injury. That's not just injury.

It's not. I just saw Kyle Shanahan roll into the L.A. Rames's barn. That's the one example of the guy that can do it with any quarterback. There's not a lot of examples outside of Kyle Shanahan of guys doing it with that injured. You guys just did this with Minnesota. Carson Wentz just went right down the field on the best defense in the league and Miles Garrett was the one who was gutted. Thank you. That's an excellent point.

Yeah, Carson Wentz is an excellent point. They're out RB1 and QB1 over there in Minnesota. They're finding ways to get results. They're good. My larger point, as we discuss the team and the dynasty that stood in the way of the Ravens being something much more special than they were the last 25 years, because the Patriots were always in the way. Their quarterback is the MVP of the league, and if he does not play, there's nothing else there. Like, they are, whenever Lamar Jackson plays outside for the last game when people thought he quit against Kansas City, a team that when Lamar Jackson plays is always competitive. It's a one-score game.

it's never not a one-score game. Lamar Jackson keeps you in everything. Tyler Hunley made a Pro Bowl. The Ravens are now dead. The Bengals are now dead, Tony. I don't think the Ravens are dead. I don't think the Steelers are as good as they appear to be right now. I think once Lamar gets back, he's going to write the ship.

They're going to win that division. You can't allow. You can't score, you can't allow 37 points a game. Like they, the Ravens' defense cannot stop anybody. And to Mike's point, I said the Texans, I said the Mexans, I said the miracle of the season was without penalty. The Texans, on a second and 33, converted a first down in one of these games because he just threw the ball to Nico Collin. And C.J. Stroud was great when he had healthy receivers, and then his pressure up the middle, and now they stink

at offense. They're truly terrible at offense, and they just gutted the Ravens. The Texans were scoring 10 points a game. The Texans had the worst offense in the league. The Ravens are not what you remember them as. And if they are not, if they are not, if they are not, done, they can't allow, like, they've got to get their players back. I don't, do you guys know, are you guys checking the injury risks on, on, are the injury updates on whether the Ravens are going to have their defense back in two weeks? You could, you could play with 10 guys and you give up 44 points to the Houston Texans. That's inconceivable.

Can you guys tell me what is the proper amount of shame for Amari demarcado? Like, what is the proper amount of shame today? Zero, it's a touchdown. That was a touchdown. I don't know how that was ruled not a touchdown. He crossed the plane. It's so unfair. He got punched by Jonathan Gannon.

It's so unfair. Look at it. That's a touchdown. I need the down the line pylon can. His foot is on the line and the ball is ahead of his foot. What are we doing? That's true. Mike's port.

You can see the foot on the line. The ball is ahead of the foot. Zoom in on the hand, though. Let me see where the hand is. The ball's out of the hand. I think the ball's out of the hand. I think the ball is slipping out. Me too.

I think that is proof of what they called, which is. high and tight. You can't do this to this guy. It's been done. He's got to run through the back of the end zone. I get you. It's something every week. Got to coach it that way. It's ridiculous. But I feel bad for the guy. Do you guys realize that before yesterday, and I want to ask you what you're doing with this,

is the Colts appear to be a good team? The Broncos have not trailed in a fourth quarter this season. Like they just have lost two games with the field goal at the end, but they could be unbeaten and they just went into Philadelphia and they ended 20 out of 21 and they ended it with Peyton down 1716 saying, no, me and my quarterback go for two. We don't, no, not afraid. We have the ball on offense and that's the confidence we have in our offense. That's pretty interesting, right? I know a lot of people thought that Peyton and the Broncos would be better this year, but they could be, you tell me what

to do with the following analysis. The Broncos could be unbeaten and the Eagles could be winless. I'd say that's football. Football. Because the Chiefs could have been five and 12 a couple years ago when they had 19, one-score games in one season. Like, that's just the NFL. Football. And so if football is that, you guys are telling me DeMarcado needs to have a touchdown there. But if we're going to protect the football in such a way that Jackson Dart giving it up five times is the reason Spencer Rattler wins for the first time. Had some throws, I knew you would do this.

But he had some throws. Are you guys going to say he didn't have any throws? Yes, he had some throws. Thank you. That's all I'm saying. He's a quarterback. They're supposed to have throws. It's the job description.

But you know what? we don't give enough love to the quarterbacks in the bottom tier. We don't. We love to shit on them. We love to say, oh, they're so bad. You love all of them. That's your gimmick. I know.

That's what you do. I know, but for you guys, you got to admit when Spencer Rattler had some throws. He had some throws. Browning has some throws, but you can't turn the ball over three times. I agree. Is there a bigger ratio for cool name, not good at football than Spencer Rattler? That's a great point. Like, he should be awesome.

It's a good name. Like top five. Jackson Darts a good name. That's a good one. That's strong. Want to have some skis. in the game, put your money in Larsonie's award-winning bourbon where your mouth

Don Libetard. All right, we got to go back out there. That was big. Wake him up. Uh-oh. He doesn't want to be bothering anymore. Now it's getting tense because he didn't need that as a result. He needs something that happens.

You can see him. Mother Ethel is. Can we bother? Are we bothering you right now? Turn on your microphone, Greg. My microphone's on. Stugats. Paint the scene.

The paint the scene is I got to go to work. Good night. This is the Dan Lebatar show with the Stugats. That's what I'm used to a quarterback looking like on the road when he's not quite ready. Oh, five possessions in a row? Five turnovers? Really? Okay.

So we're going to be all militant about protect the football, walk around the facility with it, hold it, don't lose it. That's the most valuable thing. And five on five straight plays, oh, you lose to the Saints on the Road. We can be done with both those seasons too? Can we be done with both of those? Saints, yeah, Giants, yeah. Calvin Kamara, 500 career receptions. Guys, I feel like today could be an official day

where we knock out like a third of the league and say we do not have to talk about it. You had the take of the day. You knocked out, you ended Carolina season after a win. Am I wrong? No, I think you were on the money. Their quarterback called timeout when he didn't have any timeouts. There should be a penalty for that, given how discipline they are about everything.

This is a historic first, though. They're feeling pretty good about themselves in Charlotte. Bryce Young gets. to be the winning quarterback today. Hooray, hooray, you came back from 17. Nothing, fart noise. You just ended the dolphins. It doesn't actually mean anything.

That is an immoral victory. Instead of a moral victory, it is an immoral victory. I'm just a little confused. I'm a little confused is how we can end Carolina's season, but Baltimore's season's alive after a 44 to 10. No, you understand. Carolina won that game, but we don't have to pay attention to you anymore. You're not serious people.

But Baltimore's alive. Both of you teams. here you are not serious people you cannot be treated seriously about what we're doing what the lions and the eagles are doing over here i think we throw the raiders in there too the raiders are done gino wrote back how many of them wait a minute that's right amine amine is here to bury with a troubituary uh the true trulogy excuse me tribisky what no gino smith is the is responsible for the single greatest thing that amine has ever done on this show long list of things but to correctly predict before a season

with great accuracy, a season from Gino Smith that all of us laughed off, no one has been more right than a mean was about Gino Smith around here, about anything. Yeah, probably the second most impressive thing that he's done, outside of getting Adam Lichtenstein to believe that he was going to make a statue for Jimmy Butler and write an article about it. What was the name of your sculptor character? Not a character. It's a real person.

It's Akbar. Not appreciated nearly enough. That could have been. That could have been something magical, and it just died because we never got the character off the ground. One of our great failures around here. He got off the ground. He got an article. Should have been a spinoff.

There should have been a whole, like the Akbar show. And all he does is just go from town to town, interviewing people and trying to make sculptures for the most maligned athlete icons of the decade. That's what should have been the show. Dan, I've got a list here of the teams that we've. We've kind of denounced here for the season. Jets, Browns, Dolphins, Panthers, Saints, Giants, Titans. Do we have anybody else? That's a good list. You can be done with all. Well, I think. Bengles, too. We're done with the Bengals, too? Yes. The, Billy, do you have any other nominees here? Because the Raiders aren't going to, they're obviously not going to do anything.

That's a long streak. That is a long streak of the Raiders not mattering at football. When's the last time they want a playoff? When's the last time they played in a playoff? game. It was the game against Cincinnati where there was a phantom whistle that was allowed to stand on the road, Derek Carr, Joe Burrow. That was the year that Burrow made it to the Super Bowl, I believe. The Raiders have gone 20 years without winning a playoff game, correct? 20 years since playing Tampa and John Gruden and the Rich Gannon teams? Has it been 20 years since the Raiders won a playoff game? But they won the Super Bowl. They made it. John Gruden.

knew all their plays. They lost. They haven't. They're both Raiders at the high seas. I can understand the you thought that because Gruden won, the Raiders won. It's a reasonable mistake to make, honestly. Dexter Jackson, I think, right?

He knew all the plays, that's correct. You wanted to throw away the Vikings. We're not throwing them away. I think there are more than just this, though. I think that if we, who had, let me think for a second, because I think we can get rid of a couple more teams that at the box are going to win that division and nothing else is going to come from that division right like we can be done with that division we can send that division

to the rest of it like we can just end it and give the falcons too no yeah no they lost to Carolina by 30 these are not serious people but their offense kind of figured it out the next game you can't make the Falcons the Saints and Carolina serious people you can't do it let's just wait a week before no it's four straight year

Baker's proved it already how much more would he like you You don't have that. Nobody in the division has that. We park our cars in the same garage there, Dan. He could throw four interceptions in a game, though. He couldn't. I keep waiting for that game. At Carolina.

Can I come back to the word troubituary? Because I feel like that one has legs too. It's not a trulogy. It's something different. Like, trulogy is like, it's the positive one, right? The tributary is like, let's hear this again. Because this needs to be something. me butchering this tributuary needs to be something.

With a trubituary, or a trulogy, excuse me. Tribituary is an awesome word, dude. We have to find a place for it. It doesn't have to be in the same place as trulogy, but we can't just say, oh, that was Dan misspeaking. Well, that's gone forever. How many tributaries can we write today? How many of them?

How much time you got? Well, we didn't even get to college football. We really didn't. We did some stuff on you. but we did college football was great this weekend like that that kansas state bailer game that that washington that washington maryland game like maryland's good they're up 20 to nothing maryland's good can i do that and so caroline i write their tributary after win i'm here to tell you maryland maryland proof with that loss that they're good i believe they're good i love malick

washington as long as he says there that'll be relevant let's do weekend ops and let's see if lewis has to pay off this bet some point before the end of the show here because Tony and the MMA hangout they had some consequences and some stakes that are going to make Lewis look like a fool because he agreed to be one to look like one of these one of these fighters that goes no mustache all beard the daghistani look yeah um which is they love the beard they got great beards but they're like you know what no mustache we're going to do we're going to ruin everything in the sport by just no one can wrestle better than us because we've lived in all leave to me. Correct. Except Poiton, Dano. Hands of stone. Everyone's got a plan until they get

punched in the mouth. Exactly right. That's the only way that you can beat those wrestling. You hit it with a cinder block over the head, Dan. That's exactly what I was played. It is hard to regain a championship in that sport. It doesn't happen in that weight class. I think John Bones Jones is the only other fighter to do what Berera did. He was incredible. Some people were upset with a stoppage. I don't think so. He was hitting him with 12-6 elbows to the back of the head. And his head was just bouncing off the canvas. Funny enough, but Ada, if you watch him towards the end of the fight when he's starting to celebrate with Glover to share before they put the belt on, he actually fixes his toe because his toe got broke in the first kick

of the match. Those people are crazy. But again, he landed a cinder block on the side of the head and then hit with the cement mixer elbow. That's the only way to beat any of the Russian wrestlers from the mountains is you must have cinder blocks in your fists and cave in their skull early so they can't get you the ground and ruin the entire fight. So Lewis is a big fan of Alex And we set up the bet where me and him. Because Ankelyev, in the last fight that they had for the title, Ankelyev kind of beat Alex soundly, right?

He mixed up a lot of things with on the ground, with standing up. It was like a really weird fight for Alex. He said he went in at 40% of his health. He had some injuries during camp. So he came in not ready. Ankelyev beats him for the title. So now the rematch, Alex is a guy who's a fan favorite across the sport. Lewis really likes him.

So I made a bet. If Bereda knocks out Ankelaev, will you do the... the ankylai of look, and this is how it went. If Poetton, if Poetton knocks him out, you've got to do the full beard with no mustache. And bring it up on show, though. Yeah, yeah, yes, yes, yeah. Deal, I'll do a deal. It's over!

I have to do the Enkale of a Monday. What the balls, man. That's going to suck. I'm going to do it. How long does he have to look like that? He's got to look like that for at least the next week, at least. Maybe more. So let's go ahead and get that.

set up and dused Amin's weekend observations here and see if we can get the payoff of Lewis looking ridiculous in the other room. Who's doing that? You're going to shave it? You're going to do it? Lewis is going to get shaved by Tony. All right. Aggressive.

What's the pivot? Oh, irrational Stugats Oh, my irrational! Did you not hear your voice there? Your voice If I were making a cartoon thing that was meant to symbolize irrational

That's the voice I would give it. This is the Dan Levitar show with the Stugats. So let's go ahead and do the observations, please. It is time for him to share his game notes. No one in the media will tell you what happened better than my boy. I mean. Weekend observations is presented by Milliman. light. By the way, Lewis has to grow that beard out. Like, you can't just be a week or two. The

beard has to start growing out of his face while the mustache is shaved. That's the look. Dan, we all thought it was a cautionary tale. We all thought everyone would take heed. But just like that, make no mistake. Three mature celebrations are back. They disagree. Billy and Chris Cody disagree with you. They're saying that should be a touchdown. There's a still shot. The ball is still in his hand and he's past the goal line. Who was it that said you got to run through the other end of the end zone? That was me.

All right. There you go. Stick to your guns, man. Don't be wishy-washy. Amari Mercado. Prematurely celebrating the touchdown by letting go of the ball. Would be the main headline from Cards Titans. If it weren't for the I&T fumble touchdown that ended the game. Have that ever happened before?

I'm telling you, they cannot talk about the way that the Arizona Cardinals lost that game yesterday enough. It is an epic collapse from the history books. Dan, you might want to put them in the tributary column. That's not an overreaction to say any of that. You will never see a game lost that way the rest of your life. You will play and watch football the rest of your life and never see a game lost that way again. Does Cam Ward get credit for the touchdown? and the interception?

Yes. Some might say... No, that's not a touchdown, actually, for Cam Ward. It's just a fumble recovery. Only Tyler Lockett gets the credit for that. The escapeability, though, Dano. He made things happen. He did make things happen.

Some might say, Baker Mayfield has got the goods, dude. Those goods have a name. Ameca Abuka. That guy's a baller. Get the grunk. Besides goods, you know what Baker has? Anyone?

Mike? Sorry, we're scrambling here, trying to get him at a club. Okay. He's got balls. Doing that thing from last week. Remember? Yeah. That's my bad.

That's my bad. During the War of 1812, the British sect Washington, D.C. Burning down the White House and the Capitol building after the Battle of Blamey. 13 years later, we got our revenge by sending them the Browns. Jolly well, in it, yeah? V.J. Edgecombe of the Sixers.

That was brave of you. That was brave of you to try that accent. It was brave. It's mocking. I'm mocking them. I think they sound stupid. Isn't it, yeah? Everything's a question, yeah? It was asking, yeah.

Yes, yes, it is. Stop asking me, yeah. V.J. Edgecom of the Sixers. Top five athlete names that connotes sexual tension. O.L.I. Really? Michael Pennix. O.L.I. Wang Gigi.
