What? What?
Let me be the first to wish a congratulations to the Toronto Argonauts in the great cop and the great cop in the great cop We start in Pittsburgh where you can throw out the record books when these two teams play Many people think you can't win a football game without getting in the end zone
But Boswell actually you can as Chris scored six times for the Steelers. La Marvellous became unremarkable on Sunday as the Steelers defense bottled them up forcing fumbles on likely in Henry. Likely Henry. That's what Tiffany Gomas said when asked who smashed a hole in her back wall. The Steelers put a stranglehold. Choke me daddy on the AFC North. Steelers 18. Raven 16.
We're going to Michigan. Get up. Everybody's going to score TDs. Get down. Jameson says, hold my D. Gotta lose your coach in Detroit. Brock City. As the Lions punk the Jags. And even Brock right got it on the action with a touchdown. Doctor says I need a Mackie out of me as Jones couldn't help the broken spine of the Jaguars. And I haven't seen anyone miss Lawrence since Darren Aronofsky.
Doug Peterson is looking less like quail man and more like fail man as it's only a matter of time before he's fired. Now that's funny. Lions 56, the Jaguars, Lions 52, the Jaguars 6. Down in Miami where it's a John New World order as Smith scored twice and had over 100 yards receiving.
Through a tough start to the season, Mike McDaniel told fans that if you don't love me now, you'll never love me again. I can still hear you sayin', you will never break a chain as Devon laid the fleet wood on the Raiders defense all afternoon long. As for the Raiders, their season has boiled down to whether or not Brock Toa could keep spittin' on that thing as a rookie tight end had another career day. Dolphins 34.
Raiders the Raiders 19 a lot of rocks this week boom a lot of rocks a lot of rocks a lot of rocks a lot of rocks in Nashville Sam Donald Schwarzenegger said I'm back Nick Westbrook and Kenny Rogers says you got to know when to hold on know when to scallum know when to walk away know when to run 99 yards far a score
Bryan's Super Callahan-alistic Titans are atrocious as Tennessee remains the chimney sweep of the AFT South, but a spoonful of draft picks helps the losing go down. The Vikings 23, the Titans 13.
In Chicago where the Bears played the Packers and lost again because the Bears never beat the Packers and life is meaningless and Mike Tyson was right that there's no such thing as legacy because we all die in the end. Also Carl Brooks Burke got wild on the game winning field goal blocking it with his hand. Remember that show? I used to jerk off to it, but it doesn't matter because we're all going to die one day. Packers 20 Bears 19. We head to Fox World with Henry Lockwood on the scene.
In New England, Drake Mayflower continued his stellar rookie campaign in the first quarter with a passing touchdown to Kendrick. More to me, you wild. Methuyn Stafford responded with a touchdown of his own to Cooper Kapow.
Rams deep as force a fumble on a play that was actually a tuck rule whatever and got the ball back in the red zone. Puking to cool was looking absolutely fire in the end zone. So Stafford rewarded with a touchdown of his own. The pass fought back boundly in the fourth quarter, but not even a touchdown from offensive lineman Jeff V as in Vadarian low was enough. And the Rams win 28 22. Was that lightning McQueen, Henry? Wow. Good job.
Alright, we had to stick it in the AFC East. Memes.
in MetLife Stadium where Anthony Soprano Richardson finished off the big pussy, which is the Jets defense. And the spoilers, boom. Metaworld, Breeze Cosmals at the metal lands as he scored two touchdowns of his own. Drank and Josh Downs said to the Jets defenders, whoa, just take it easy, man. As he scored a touchdown, as far as Aaron Rodgers, it was time to quit. He pay the piper with a sack and put an end to this game and the Jets season. Coles 28, Jets 27. They shot him on the boat, boom. No spoilers. Didn't drink with him first.
We finished in Buffalo, where the bills were flaunting their bodies. As Curtis Samuel showed a lot of legs and Khalil Shakira, Shakira said these hips don't lie as he went whap and whap. And hmm, some spread on the chief's defense.
Xavier, we are not worthy, had Chiefs fans saying, came on, Garth, after our first half score. The game was back and forth, back and forth, as Noah, 50 Shades of Grey had Josh Allen feeling like he was back in bondage, after a second touchdown. But the Bills finally got their release, shooting a massive Buffalo load, and a win. No one circles the wad inside the Buffalo Bills. Bill starting the Chiefs 21.
Standing on the corner, Jameless Winston Kiahoga Such a fine sight to see His throwing seeds against his old team Revenge against New Orleans The gumbo swelled it You got a bullet Rizzie logged in like a pre-game toy
The Saints go marching 35 14. And that is the fastest two minutes from week 11 in the NFL. And it is brought to you by our friends at Chevy. There's a reason we've never done a Mount Rushmore pickup trucks. And that's because for pardon my take, there's only one pickup truck, the Chevy Silverado. Why is that? Silverado's a partner.

Okay. Week 11 in the books, we have some of the football that we'll talk about at the end that is about to start. We're going to tape some of this early, but week 11 in the books, I feel like we're at officially at the point where there are some teams that we can just stop paying attention to. And that became clear this week, specifically the Jaguars. Well, what's the thing about the Jaguars is you can stop paying attention to them because they're relevant and the NFL makes perfect sense sometimes.
However, we might have to start paying attention to the Jaguars again because they're probably going to have an interim coach. Yeah, we'll have to see how the interim head coach if he's fat or fun or passion. You want to look at their coaching staff right now and predict who it should be? It's not going to be their defensive coordinator. No.
You know what? Let Tony Khan do it. Yeah. Let's let Tony Khan get on the sideline. Let's wait. Let's wait till we get to the Jaguars lines. Let's get into the games. We'll start with the most important game from Sunday and it was Steelers 18, Raven 16.
exactly how you expected a Steelers Ravens game to go. Said this on Friday. All they do is play close games. All you got to do is take the underdog and the Steelers win the game with six field goals. Never getting into the end zone. Not the best game from Russell Wilson, but
I think this was the game that was like damn the Steelers need to be taken very much for real because their defense just bottled up a very very explosive Ravens offense and they now have a two game lead in the AFC North and they are in play for a one seat as well because the Chiefs lost so the Steelers like you had
I actually think if you went in this game and you and you said that Russell Wilson was going to play like that, I would say the Steelers had no chance because it was all kind of short underneath. He had that one really nice pass to George Pickens, but when he was pressured, he was sacked a bunch of times through an inter the one of the worst interceptions in the end zone, but the Steelers defense did it.
Yeah, the Steelers defense, they take away the long ball. They're like, we'll give you stuff underneath. And really, I feel like this game came down to a couple of things. One was the Derrick Henry fumble. Yeah. On the very first drive. Yeah. One of the first plays of the game. Um, that added up with the missed field goals by Justin Tucker. He might actually be bad who now should either fake an injury and be like, yeah, I've been dealing with this since like week two. I don't know. Just say that you've had a hamstring problem that's gotten worse.
Yeah, say that you've got like the measles, but there's something wrong with Justin Tucker. And we've been calling him washed. I think ever since it might have been 2017 when he missed that extra point against the Saints. Yeah, it's how this show goes. We're very rarely right.
The only times we're right, it usually is because we joke about something and then enough time elapses that it becomes right because we were the first that Justin Tucker is washed as a joke. And now I think he legitimately might be washed. He's 30th in the NFL in terms of accuracy this year in kickers. He also lost. He's no longer the most accurate kicker of all time.
So he's in a battle by percentage points. It's basically like tallying votes. Is that cool? I think California still has like a million votes still left to go. No, it's Eddie Pinero. Oh, really? Eddie Pinero is 89.38% and Justin Tucker is 89.32%.
If he goes three for three in his next three, he will be back at number one. Yeah. So this is like, you can do this with any player really. You can say that they stink that they're over the hill and eventually you will be correct by the only person who's probably immune to that was Barry Sanders. Well, and Tom Brady and Tom Brady. His Max Kellerman did it like every year and then he looked like a fool every year.
That's true. Yes. The was that show Dexter? It was like the Dexter on Showtime principle. It's like you want to move on one season too early, not one season too late or something. Right. Right. But Justin Tucker is a legitimate problem. He missed back-to-back field goals. It was the difference in this game. The Steelers kicker Chris Boswell made all his field goals. Yeah. Are like.
That was something that the Ravens always could just rely on. Like, hey, if we get past the 50 yard line, we're going to score points. Justin Tucker, like, are they, if you're a Ravens fan, are you legitimately worried now going to the playoffs? You have to be worried. This could be an issue that rears its ugly head. Yeah, the strength of your team, like the most dominant player, one of the most dominant players ever at their position. Justin Tucker, I would say like for a while, Justin Tucker was as good at kicking as Tom Brady was a playing quarterback. Yeah.
It's automatic. Hank's nodding his head back and forth. You disagree, Hank? It was good for a few years. No, I'd say probably like seven years, eight years, Justin Tucker, unquestionably the best kicker in the history of the game. That's a stretch, but that's fine.
I think it's probably a part of position to play through. That's, yes, that's accurate. I will give you that. We are an international podcast, so I will make sure to see it important points to you. Yes. But yeah, Justin Tucker, there is an actual issue with him. I don't know. If I was Harbaugh, I would probably just say that he was injured because you can't deactivate. You can't like bring in competition to kick against Justin Tucker if he's healthy, right?
Hey, but I mean, he still came in after he missed those two. He, what, he hit a 50 yarder later on in the game. So he's still good. He's just not Justin Tucker. Yeah. The Ravens essentially just have an average kicker now where it's like, I hope it goes in if it's deep. Yeah.
That's essentially it. And then the big story though is Lamar can't figure out the Steelers. He's now one in four in his career against the Steelers. He has as many wins against the Steelers as Russell Wilson has against the Ravens in this rivalry. And the one win is against Mason Rudolph. It was Mason Rudolph and Duck.
Yeah, it was 2019. Yeah, you got half of Mason Rudolph and then you had Duck Hodges in the second half. Besides that, he hasn't gotten it done. Now, I looked this up. I went back to the start of the Harbaugh Tomlin rivalry. So I think that's 2008. Yeah. Match up between these two teams since 2008, the total points, Steelers are now winning by 10 points. That makes sense. Over the course of that entire time, that's an average of 0.3 points per game.
Yeah, between the two of those guys. Every single game every time is just a, it's within a touchdown. It's usually a two, it's usually a weird score. This was a weird score. Yeah. Like, you know, if it's a two and a half point spread, just take the two and a half because it probably will be a one point game. And yeah, it's, it was, it was pretty shocking to see the Ravens.
Defense be bottled actually weirdly both defenses like I felt like over performed because I knew the Steelers defense was really good But I thought you know the Ravens offense is really really good So they would have more success and then the Ravens secondary has been a problem all year and the Steelers weren't able to like gash them really
Yeah. So it's just it's just both these team to get together and they just play old school football every time on both sides. It was like neither team wanted to make a mistake. Yeah. And so they were just taking what the defense was giving them in the Steelers. Yeah. The difference was the kicker in this game and a great kicker and a wash kicker.
And and what's his name? The other Wilson for the Steelers that that interception he had was just man football when he just took it away. He took it. He literally took it away. And that was that was a huge pivotal play. And yeah, I I think both these seems very good, but I like the Steelers. I think for the majority of this season, we've been playing this game in our head. We're like, the Steelers are good, but how good?
Why aren't they in the category with everyone else when it comes to their defense? They are. Their defense has always been good. Yeah. Like this modern era of the Steelers, they've always had a dominant defense, but then they've had to like go out there and win games on their own sometimes. I would be concerned a little bit about Russell Wilson because it's, I mean, he was great in the fourth quarter against the commanders, but he wasn't great like the first three quarters. And then this game
Are we getting back to like Russell Wilson just throwing checkdowns and being a little, you know, when he's under pressure, he doesn't have the mobility that he once had. I'm gonna chalk it up to just going against the Ravens. Okay. There's the Ravens didn't want to give up anything big. That interception, the Arthur Smith's face during that interception was perfect because everyone was like, what are you doing? Russell Wilson had the largest target maybe in the NFL. Yeah. The largest pass catching target. And he just airmailed it by about well, it really wasn't
that high of a throw. I would like to see Washington try to jump up in the air. Agreed. He should have played defense on it, but it was more time in place. It's a 15 10 game. Yeah. If you get a field goal, you're up eight and you just like the one thing you can't do is throw an interception. And then we also had
Unfortunately for Justin Fields his it didn't it will fortunately it didn't matter but his one big play was actually a really smart well designed QB run by Arthur Smith to try to win the game late and get that first down and he slid like a full yard and a half short and then he gave like the first down.
didn't know where the sticks were. That was bad. And then they zoomed in on his face for about 15 seconds on this. I feel like that's most of the camera time that Justin Fields gets is right after a boneheaded mistake where they just show him staring off into the distance like he's in Vietnam and just zooms in on him and he just looks upset. We also had, we get this every week, George Pickens temporarily goes insane during a game.
They were actually I got two of them. I got two of them this week. So this is why we've said George Pickens is a must watch player. Yes. There needs to be an all 22 of just George in all one of just George Pickens every single play. The first one was early in the first quarter.
He caught a pass, it was first and 10, goes out of bounds after two yards and then makes the first down sign in the defensive pass phase. There was that and then at one point he caught a pass and then he just started walking off the field. Like when Forrest Gump just ran through the end zone into the tunnel, he was just walking down the field to nowhere. And Tomlin had to pull him off the field and explain to him, hey the game's still going on.
He's just kept on walking. It's not halftime yet. Yeah. But I just, I love watching this guy. Yeah. I can't get enough of it. It's so much fun. Yeah. He's the absolute best. Okay. So yeah, the Steelers are sorry, the Ravens chances to win the North went down to 37% with this loss and the Steelers still do have a tough schedule, but
Browns. Yeah. Yeah. The ultimate Tomlin trap game. If the let's play whose lines anyway, if it's been released on draft Kings, the Browns are the bet on Thursday night. Yes, because the Steelers are coming off. I mean, it's just Mike Tomlin is a dog all day, every day. And then they're going to go to Cleveland.
Whose line is it anyway for my drafting? I think dealers minus three and a half. It's at Cleveland at Cleveland. It is Steelers minus five and a half. Wow. Okay. Browns. Yeah. Love it. Browns. Give me the Browns all day. Browns. There's no reason for it, but I'm James primetime Steelers looking ahead. Yeah. Good about themselves. Road favorite. Yeah. Almost a touchdown.
Yep, you know, that's gonna be drunk as fuck. Yeah, that's proud. This is a Munilat legacy game. You like that Hank? That's browns and the under I see north divisional games These two these teams know how to play well except for Ravens Bengals Yeah, literally like 150 points between the two of them both games. Mm-hmm. Do you want to chase? I think Jamar chase by himself hit every over I
troop of end of the season end of the season and not bravens bangles. Well, no, now we're in that those girls are in the early in the season. Got it. It was last week. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. This is the end of the season. This was weeks one. This is week one of the AFC North unders. Yes. I like that. That's smart. Hey, guys, as a man with a champion, as a man with championship pedigree, can you tell me when good teams should say that they start paying attention to football?
I mean, you're always paying attention, but you're not really. It's, it's, it's the playoffs. Like this is, this is the time. Would you say December even? Yeah, late November, December. Okay. Thanksgiving. Big Cat made a comment and no one probably get to it last week. That kind of stuck with me when it was like, it's not even no, it's not even Thanksgiving. Yeah. And the season's over. Yeah.
And it's the opposite for good teams. Yeah. Good. Giving is when it's really time to lock in and the season starts. But they also did make Thanksgiving extra late this year. It's the latest it can possibly be at Thursday this year. It's on Thursday this year, but it's the latest it can possibly be. So, yeah, it kind of fucks everything up. Yeah.
Yeah, it should have been. It should be like in four days instead. It's in whatever, 10 days. I also have a real problem with the schedule makers because we've got six buys next week. Yeah. Then we have no buys. Well, they have no buys because Thanksgiving. You got to play. And then after Thanksgiving, we go back to six buys again.
Yeah, don't like it. I actually do like the six buys just cause it's less games to like, I want to be able to, you get through all the buys and you get to the other side and it's like, you have buys because there's just a bunch of teams that are so bad and you don't have to pay attention to it. They should be able to do flex scheduling, but with buys. They should be able to just, teams should be able to say, we're done. Opt out. Yeah, we're done for the year. Like there are definitely teams where if they said, Hey, we're done for the year, you're going to pay all the players. That's fine, but we're done for the year. It'll be fine. Be fine by me.
Okay, next game the reason the sickles and perverts are tuning in Packers 20 bears 19 I Got fully baited. I got fully drawn back in thought the bears were gonna win this game
Really thought the Bears are going to win this game. Matt before it goes to 11 and 0 against the Chicago Bears. We haven't beaten them since 2018. I got completely baited. So I went back a little bit further than that. Oh, it's like 52 and 14 or something. I went to in the far of Rogers love since 92 in the far of Rogers love Willis love era. The Packers are 51 and 15. Flynn 51 and 15. He's the actual record.
Yeah, 50. Yeah, I mean, it's we can't beat them. And this is a game we should have beaten them and we played better than them. And it doesn't matter. Can I use we have a stupid fucking head coach? There was a guy who wanted me to apologize to Mattie Rufus halfway through this game. Mm hmm. Mattie Rufus is now 14 and 30 as a head coach. He's five and 17 in one score games.
He's five and 17 in one score games. And I want a little credit Shane Waldron being the worst coach of all time. That actually turned out to be true. Yeah, the offense looked pretty good today. It looked significantly better. They basically were like, Caleb, get the ball out fast. We're going to try to run the ball. They called even amount of runs and passes. Caleb got the ball out of his hands in 2.3 seconds average. He was decisive. He on third and fourth downs, he was 10 for 12 for 112 yards passing in 40 yards.
Yeah, 40 yards rushing. You got 10 first downs on those plays. Like even the end of the game, third and 19, like the Bears played well offensively all game. Then you get to the last two minutes. It's like, all right, he's got to go on a drive and they were they reverted back to the Bears of the last three weeks, sack, sack. And then Kale gets him out of it. He's now in the last four weeks, he's gone on two game winning drives that Matt Eberfus has fucked up.
Yeah, I think if you're if you're a Bears fan, don't let the fact that you had a game winning field goal distract you from the fact that Caleb should have been sacked on that play that he got out of. Yes. And and converted a miracle first down. It's just the fact that it's the Packers. That's the part that really kills because it's it's
I'm I'm not stupid to to think that this team is a playoff team and in reality, I don't even like Maddie was such a bad head coach. I don't want to keep this going for much longer. But the Packers like you can't we can't beat the Packers. They have voodoo magic or Matt was 11 and 0.
You have Caleb Williams, get him to field goal range. And then all the quotes afterwards, just out coached again. Rich Bassaccia, who we like, said in the team meetings on Saturday night, he said that he would be shocked. He wouldn't understand if they came out of the game today without a blocked field goal or extra point.
And the Packers also said that in the last seconds of the game, several players, this is from Caitlyn Kaler. She said, just talk to several players in the Packers field goal block unit and all of them said they noticed that Cairo Santos kicked with a low trajectory when doing film study and they expected the Bears to run another play, which in their opinion would have made it more difficult to block. Well, yeah, if they'd run it, that's the question is why did the Bears just agree to a 46 yard field goal?
because we have a coach that's five and 17 in one score games. And he also, he's, he's coaching like a guy who has like a 10 year contract. Yeah. He's coaching like he shouldn't push the buttons to be like, Hey, you're a foreign five team now four and six that is spiraling out of control. You finally have a solid effort from offense.
And you know, the defense got gashed on some big plays. We can get to that. But you finally are in a spot to win a game. And not only do you not run an extra play when you have a timeout in your back pocket to try to get closer, but in the drive before that, it's fourth and three on the 50 yard line. Try to win the game right there. Like try to win the game right there. I don't know. There's four minutes left. Just go win the game. Yeah, you're right about him coaching like he has jobs. He needs to coach scared.
He's not scared. No, he coaches, like, extra scared, though. Yeah, but no, he needs to have not going forward on a fourth and three. Right. He's the opposite of Dan Campbell. He's the exact opposite of Dan Campbell. It's like he's... He's mad at him. It's so fucking frustrating. And at this point, so...
The part that really hurts is the Packers because we can't beat the Packers and we finally were gonna beat the Packers And then of course we get a field goal block by the way I thought you couldn't touch the center when he had his head down So I was gonna give you some copium because I I've got the screenshots and I looked at him Oh, yeah, the people who are complaining about a no-call on that you're actually right They they bold over the long snapper on that last yeah, I'm not gonna complain because it's like I the bears are the bears and they're this is just
It was just bound to happen. I can't believe I fell for it. I can't believe I thought we were actually gonna hit that field goal But at this point in the season like if we had won this game
Five and five. Oh shit. We might be back in it like I'd start thinking it at this point. It's like it makes it pretty cut and dry just salvage kills rookie season More days like today and make sure that you lose enough games that mattie before this is gone. Yeah, so this that's it This might have been the perfect result then but it's still the Packers. That's the part that hurts if it was anyone else I would have been like I could have I could have
If it was the Vikings, if it was any other team, I could have twisted myself and been like, you know what? That was actually a good loss. The fact that it was the Packers and Packers fans are going to go away being like, oh, we're so much better than the Bears. And yeah, I know they are, but like they're true in love, it's during the interception, every fucking game.
I got a question for you, though. When it comes to the low kick trajectory thing. Yeah. That's not really a coaching point. Kyros Santos has to kick with a low trajectory, because he's got a very accurate leg. He's a good kicker. Correct. But he doesn't have the biggest leg in the world. He has a 2009 leg, where 56 yards an end. You can probably count on him to get it there, but he's not going to set any records. So to kick it that distance, you have to have lower trajectory than most other kickers do.
But that's why you go get more yards. That's why you get more yards. That's what the Packers were saying. They were surprised they didn't run another play. That's the coaching part. That's the coaching part where he had a timeout and the Packers are like, they're going to run another play because they know what we know that he has a low trajectory and there's, but no, he's
It's just, it's so frustrating because it's the Packers. That's the part that kills me. Cause I fucking hate the Packers and all they do is beat the fuck out of us at time and time again. And it was going to be so big that like kale wins beat the Packers is first start against the Packers and everything was going to be good for a week until we played the Vikings and then the Lions on Thanksgiving, but I was going to have one week where everything was good. And I, I, I thought about it and I believed it and I thought it was going to happen and then it just didn't happen. And we're back to there.
It's frustrating. You would have had such a good night's sleep. I had such a good night's sleep. Post-win sleep is so good. DJ Moore's back. Shane Waldron caused all his problems too. Yeah, DJ Moore. You looked great. Four receivers over 40 yards. The great part about what they did with DJ Moore was they got him the ball early. So they're like, we're not going to let this guy have time to get upset at the quarterback. Shane Waldron was the worst coach of all time. You can't tell me differently.
And that is also on the that's on the head of Matt Iberflus. That's on the head of Ryan polls. The fact that Shane Waldron was hired is just an abomination like I the Bears looked so dead the last three games and to have an offense that was actually functional this week just as such an indictment on Shane Waldron being the offensive coordinator for a rookie quarterback. Yeah, they look great. The offense looked really, really good this week. They still didn't get. I mean, I wish we had scored a couple touchdowns and then of course Jordan Love
He just, no matter what, like two or three times a game, he's just gonna throw a deep bomb to Christian Watson and it's gonna work. And I knew it was gonna work. And I knew, and like there's nothing you can do about it. I hate that. It's like when Josh rolls out to the sidelines and he's going to his right, you know that he's about to do something crazy and unspeakable to a defense. That's what it's like when Jordan Love starts back pedaling. Like here it comes.
God damn it. Just fucking well when when when that game is a week 17. I don't even know. I think it's week 18 that we came again. So last game in season and it's just a fact that like the two now I'm going to play the game where it's like if Matt Ebert Flus plays sideline defense against commanders on the play before the Hail Mary and if he runs another player to in this game.
The Bears could be sitting at six and four and I'd be thinking the offs in the hunt. I'd be thinking, holy shit, everything looks different. And it'd be like, oh, Kale Whims has gone on two game-winning drives. And yeah, it's been bad at times. I've never said I was giving up on Kale Williams. I still think that whoever they hire as the next coach will be very, very important.
This was a good day for him. And it was good to bounce it back. He addressed the whole team and apologized to them for his part in getting Shane Waldron fired. He should have actually been like, you guys should thank me. Yeah. Because Shane Waldron never should have had a job. I've got the schedule right here. You do have the Packers week 18 last game of the season. I know the schedule. You could play spoiler. Yeah. And that would be a great win if you go into Lambo. And then the next day, if they don't fire Iberfluze the day after that,
then that would be literally your January 6th. Yeah. Stronger than we would. We'd have to. We'd have no other choice. A little dust up as Jack Torel said. Hank, do you have any questions that are going to put me in a bind and, you know, make me talk out of both sides of my mouth? You're really good at that. What?
No, usually ask a question that I give an answer and then the people are like, well, you said this and now you're saying this and I get, you know, I'm an emotional wreck. I just, I mean, the, and then the badgers on Saturday night, I was devastating. Don't smile at me like that, Max. I would just like to point out. You went like this. I would just like to point out that. That was a tough loss. I was rooting for the badgers.
On Friday's show, it was brought up that if the bears look good against the Packers, you might be like bears are all the way back during the game. Did you think that the bears were back? I said bears might. I think I tweeted exactly bears might be back. Situation remains fluid. Okay. They had to win the game.
Caleb looks confident. It was a positive day for me. I understand, but it's the Packers. But who cares? I do. What do you mean? It was Max. I agree with you. Everything you're saying is correct, but it's the Packers. We can't beat the Packers. Matt Leforz literally never lost to the Bears. It's insane. It's like the beating just won't stop. It just happens every year like clockwork.
So it was any other team. If this was a game against fucking the 49ers, I would have been like, you know what? Rookie quarterback, we're still working on things next year's the year that was great performance by Kale Williams, but it's the Packers. And we had the game. We had it. That field goal was never going in. It was never going in. If he didn't block it, if they didn't make it, if they didn't, if they didn't assault, you know, long snapper, it might have, it might, it might be a good thing it got blocked.
There's worse ways to lose a game on easily could have just missed it. It was going in. It was going in. It was going in. He don't miss. Caleb Williams looks really good. This, this is a good day for bears fans has to be a good day for bears. We lost the path. That's crazy. That's not that you would, if you, if it rolls a reverse and it was the Cowboys for you and you were going through the same thing. Also, Matt Eberflus, fuck you, dude. He said tough times don't last tough people do.
First of all, you're not gonna last, buddy. He has. Second of all, tough times do last. What was this stat? 55 and 15? It was going back to 1992, the start of Brett Favre, 51, 15. That's literally tough times lasting. Tough times literally do not stop, it's just tough times. I just saw the replay of the attempted field goal, that was gonna go in. Yeah, it was. That was gonna go in. We beating the Packers like,
three times in the last ten years. Alright, so can I just confess that while watching the game, I wanted the Bears to win. I wanted that field goal to go in. I wanted Big Cat to be happy. However, during the setup, I thought, how fucking funny would this be if it doubled to it? That would have been funny.
There's worse ways to lose. I mean, yeah, it would have been funny for a lot of people. Yeah. I'm sobering for the rollercoaster. So I was really, really hoping that that I was going to be all the way back in. Yeah. Also that was the worst over game to have in the history of over games. You need to see your points and they stopped at the court line twice, two point conversion missed twice and the block field goal. It was the worst over game. Yeah, demons played well in that court line saying they just couldn't stop the long, you know, passes. They were just.
Jordan Love would just rip a 60 yarder. All right. So Hank, do you have any last questions that will twist me up and will end up being in the roller coaster reel at the end of the year? No, I felt bad. I was looking at the game, looking at the record. And I was like, if the bears win this game, the records are going to be one game apart. They could be better than the Packers, not the last team in the NFC North. Yeah.
But it, I'll say this, Max, you're, you're wrong on the take that it was a good day for the Bears. It was not because we lost the Packers. The one positive out of this is the rest of the season is as clear as it could possibly be. Just have Caleb Williams be good and not regress and not look like last three weeks. Caleb Williams look like this Sunday. Caleb Williams and get Matt Eberfuss fired. That's it.
That's it. Those are the only two objectives at the end of the rest of the season. That's it. There's nothing else that matters. He looked good, though, Kayla. Winning and losing, which is a good thing. Does not matter, because we know Matt Iberfluice have given the chance to win. He will choose the loss every time. Max is confusing, seeing good signs with having a good day. And it also is against the Packers. He's just completely like he's pretending like he doesn't become a nervous wreck when he plays the Cowboys. Yeah.
I get it, I get it. But the Bears are never doing anything this year, and Kayla Williams looked good, and you don't have to freak out at it. They win that game. No, I'm looking at the schedule is the gauntlet of all. It's ridiculous. Yeah, no, it's that's why the last three weeks I've been as emotional as I've been, because the schedule was going to be a disaster. All right, another positive. We don't think it's giving. That's going to be we're going to get fucking smoked on Thanksgiving. Holy shit, if you don't suck. Imagine if you don't.
That would be fun. I don't. That would be fun. I'll agree with you guys. That'd be fun. Yeah. Another positive thing, the offensive line looked good. Yeah, because they actually ran the ball and they actually got the ball out fast. Turns out if you don't make Kale Williams go through five progressions and also you tell Kale Williams, hey, just fucking throw it underneath if a guy's open. Yeah. Things can work. Who is that? Who you play to your strengths. Who's your tackle that laid that block? Braxton Jones. That dude is a roadkeeper.
Yeah. Where has that been? Office alignment have to be so pissed off at Shane Waldron. Yeah, because they're not being asked to block for a million seconds anymore, where like the route trees don't make sense and no one's open. Like it was very clear that they were like, Caleb, throw the ball when a guy's open and just get the ball out of your hands. And when you do that, your offensive line can look good. And also, if you don't see anybody open, just run. The Packers fucking stink. They stink. Okay. They're not winning shit this year.
They aren't. You guys agree? Don't think they're going to win the Super Bowl. They're not winning shit. Jordan loves just throwing some pills. You guys said the same thing about that. What? Like last year at this time. They ain't winning shit. They stink. Josh Jacobs is pretty good. Jordan loves not fully healthy.
He's fucking healthy. He's healthy throws it. If he's throwing a pick, he's healthy. That's Jordan Love. They have a kicker now. He throws picks. That's what he does. Okay. Rams 28 Patriots 22. Henry? Yeah. Drake may look good. Drake may look good. Bad interception at the end. Last part of the game.
That might have been on the receiver too. Yeah, it was a weird ride. It looked like he was wide open, miscommunication. Kind of what I thought might happen where Stafford picked apart the defense. That kind of did whatever they wanted. Three for four touchdowns. Drake may look good.
Exciting loss. Exciting loss. I love that. You're excited. Look at you. It was fun. It was fun game to watch. And again, like going into the season, I wasn't expecting to go into the Sundays, expecting to win. I'm not super disappointed that they lost, but Drake may look good. It was a fun game to watch. He had a bad fumble. He did very well. That he was, you know, his hands moving forward. He's kind of like a tuck rule situation. Small hands. You basically watched my game except you weren't playing a rival.
Yeah. Who beats your brains in? And we also weren't going into the season being like, trick my ass, you know, the best talent. Okay. All right. And it's going to be a huge year. Yoffs, et cetera. Right. But yeah. You didn't want to play them at all this year. No, that was a mistake. I don't know. I don't know. Yeah. We're just doing like takes from August, we can we could go take for take.
band for band. Yeah, we go band for band. I don't want to look in the past though. Yeah, no, me either. Yeah, Drake, he was like under a lot of pressure and he looked good. He had a couple like, you know, blitz coming at him, guys running at him full speed, still throwing it, making completions, driving the ball down the field. Another like five drops from receivers. Yeah, every time I see booty, he's dropping the ball. Yeah, no, there's there's
Pass need some help on the receiving side. They do. Is that the draft or free agency? Probably the draft. I would be scared if I were you about the Patriots drafting receivers. I feel like it never works out. But we never draft receivers. Like we're going to, in theory, have a chance at the best receiver. Yeah, but you guys have tried to draft good receivers before. They just end up not being good. But we don't draft. We've never had a chance at drafting the best receiver in the draft. Are you saying the best receiver or the best cornerback?
Maybe both. Oh, Travis Hunter? Oh, good point.
but or this guy from Arizona. Yeah, yeah. But Travis Hunter would be the best of both. Get two players. So the Rams, they needed this win bad. And they also they started slow again. Like they they are being outscored by 50 points in the first quarter this year, which leads the NFL. I still don't really know what to make of the NFC West other than the only team I trust is the Arizona Cardinals. Maybe. Maybe trust the Cardinals. I don't know. I feel like the why not at their best.
The Rams are better than the Cardinals, I think. But at their best, the Niners are better than the Cardinals, but neither team is ever at their best. The Cardinals killed the Rams. I know. Like obliterating. I know, but I don't know. I don't think that I trust the Cardinals either. I think I trust them more than the Rams at this point, and maybe the 49ers. I might just be all in on the Cardinals. I think I just love Cooper Cop and Pooka Nakua.
Yeah, no, they're awesome. I mean, Cooper Cup, that was his beard. There was no one around him. No, that was like the easiest touchdown. 70 yards. Yeah. Right down the deck. And Matthew Stafford, like whenever he, he, even though they started slow, he'll just rip a couple passes in a game where you're like, holy fuck, no one else can make that pass. Yeah. Like the Puke and Akua touchdown was insane. Is the Rams pinky team or Falcons pinky team? The Rams are the pinky team. So yeah, I mean,
I think the Cardinals are the best team in the West right now. I mean right now, I don't know. I just saw, like the Rams, I expected the Rams to win this game. They just started really slow again and I was like, what's going on? And they also didn't really have that, like they let the Patriots kind of hang around as well. Maybe the Patriots are just better than I think.
I think the Patriots are good. Like, I think they've turned the corner. Yeah, they're, they're, they're now in like the first spoiler. The post mutiny Drake may era is feels different. Yeah, it does feel different. It feels real different. Guys are excited. He's given speeches. Big speeches. Everyone's fired up. We'll see how, how his speech is this week. Yeah. I mean, that fumble, that fumble was basically an instant touchdown. They lost by six points. Like, yeah, a couple of mistakes here, a couple of mistakes there that could have won that game.
I did look up his hand size because I was like, is this a cold weather, November, December type fumble? I forgot he only has nine and an eighth in chance. Oh, no. That's why the ball looks so heavy. Who told us that? Somebody said, oh, yeah. He throws a heavy ball. A ban for ban analysis. Yeah. His capacity drafted him. But, yeah. Hang. Yeah. You were mad. No, false. I think you want to trade back and get like Joe Walt. I want to Jay and Daniels, but yeah, that would have been a good pick.
Yeah. Hank, are you taking your spoiling? This is a very important spot. I'm exactly going to be in this spot every Sunday where.
I don't want to root for the Patriots to lose. I'm not going to say let's tank because who knows with the draft. I don't have experience in the draft game. It's not a sure thing. I will be rooting for the Patriots to win games as I was today. If they lose, I will instantly be like, that's good. Good draft position. Welcome to this side of the table. I don't want to tank. Yeah. I want to spoil. I want to spoil. I would prefer to spoil.
It's between the white lines. It's every every week you're you're like, I don't care if we win this game. Then the game starts. You're like, I want to win this game. Then you lose and the game ends. You're like, that was good. Yeah. And then after you if you happen to win a game on Sunday, you feel good about it for like 30 minutes. And then you're like, Oh, fuck. Yeah. And you go to tankathon. Yeah. It's post win clarity. Yeah. I'm basically back in that spot. Yeah. Let's start spoiling. I mean, the you got two opportunities to spoil something for the bills.
Oh, that would be, oh man, now I'm thinking about how I can get my revenge. What if the bears and the Patriots end up with the same record, but because they beat us, we get a higher pick and that guy becomes a Hall of Famer. That'd be nice. That's some serious cope. That would be nice. Learn how to cope, buddy. Yeah. Yeah. I got a lot more of that where it came from. Just twisting my brain around, trying to find wins where there's losses because there's nothing but losses. I don't see it as a competition. I want all our guys to do well.
No, you don't. That's a fucking lie. That's such a lie. You want the Eagles to do well? No, ours and our guys are quarterbacks. Oh, OK. You don't want the Eagles. You don't want to do well? No. You don't want the Jets to do well. So by are you mean? I mean, this room. You want the NFC brothers? Well, no, not.
Yeah, just our guys are our guys. Yeah, our three guys. You all took the wrong guy, but we'll get to that later. What? Oh, bonix. Yeah, that's all we are. I am a believer. Yeah, you're not wrong. Believer. Bonix is he's incredible. Hank, I do have a question for you. Did you find out who the keeper of the light? No, I'm still I'm I'm.
How have you not been able to get this fat? There's something screwing going on. I texted one person they didn't answer me. Yeah, because they haven't publicized this information. They did no press about it. It's not on the website. I think either they didn't have a keeper of the light or they're embarrassed about who the keeper of the light was. I'm still on it. I'll get it by that of the show, maybe. It is funny when you go to the Gillette Stadium website and you can look at the pictures. There's this one of Hank. Took a screenshot of it. That's awesome, yeah. Oh man, we need to find this. I'm on it.
Okay. All right. Next game, Saints 35 Browns 14. Tastes him, Hill is back and Darren Rizzi. He's got the Rizzi juice. Yeah. Guys, two and O first head coach or only other head coach to go to and O for the Saints to start their careers. Sean Payton. I still can't believe. I mean, there's a lot of Darren Rizzi left, but Darren Rizzi did
Interview for the job that Dennis Allen ended up getting the 8 and 28 man Dennis Allen. Mm-hmm But yeah, there is the juicy like he has like high he has celebrations and handshakes with all his players The guy just hasn't pumped up. Yeah, they play hard and Taysom Hill had a stat line that has never been done before in the NFL today
It was just they built the entire team out of taste. I mean, they say, okay, you go ahead and you do your weird thing where you just run people over, you catch passes, you return kicks, you throw interceptions. Uh, what do you have three touchdowns? He had a hundred seven rushes, a hundred 38 yards, three touchdowns, eight catches for 50 yards. And he threw an interception. He did the Jimmy V. Like you got a laugh, you got to cry. You got to, you know, do something for someone or whatever. Yeah.
You got to do it all. And that would be a full day. Taysom Hill was everything in this game. And the Browns defense was, I don't know what happened, but they were the arm tackle Kings today. They just tried to just swipe at Taysom Hill, who's an absolute load. And they look so bad. And James didn't even play that.
Like he, I mean, he didn't obviously didn't win and they could have scored more points, but like he didn't have any terrible Jamis interceptions. He's so much fun to watch because every snap for Jamis is either a deep ball or it's like a, it's like a fire alarm drill inside the pocket where he's just like running around and doing this, the high knees and everything. His touchdown pass that he had early in the game to the back corner of the end zone was an awesome throw.
Then he had another to, I think it was Jerry Judy. Yeah. Jerry Judy did most of the work, but it's cool to see the Browns functioning as like, you know, a reasonable offense in the NFL. Yeah. I'm not going to say that they're a good offense right now, but they do look qualified to be playing football on Sundays. He threw 395 in two touchdowns. Yeah. And it's just the Brown's defense was atrocious today. Yeah. Taste some Hill.
I don't know what, it almost looked like they were, it looked like at points, like Taysom Hill, you know when we always see those, we'll see like a random clip from like a pop Warner game where there's one eight year old who's somehow six, two, like 220 and everyone's just bouncing off him? That's what the Browns look like against Taysom Hill. Yeah, you have to bring at least three guys to bring him down. Yeah. When he gets ahead of steam, he might even just run through three guys. Yeah.
It was crazy. I would like to see Taysom Hill get an entire season starting at quarterback. Did you remember that one game when Trey Egan was just like, he's way better than Drew Brees. Yeah. He kind of was at that point of Drew Brees career. They called him a poor man's Lamar Jackson at one point too. Yeah. He's, uh, yeah. I mean, he's, he's throwing is not great, but he can run the rock. Yeah. I can't wait to see what the Pope tweets about this game. Have you been following that? Yeah. He's been doing the hashtag saints. Hashtag saints. Yeah. All the time. Also, uh, the Browns, Dustin Hopkins is terrible.
Yeah, so are kickers shittier than they've ever been in the NFL? Yeah, it seems like it. They've gone that way. Also, one through seven, the kickers are too good. Now kickers just suck. Yeah, Darren Rizzi also might just have great field goal defense because it happened last week with young Hoku. Something about Rizzi, Rizzi Magic. He's got to miss in everything, but doesn't Hopkins miss two field goals, but really three because there was a penalty and he missed like a 27 yarder. Yeah, chip shot.
Terrible. Well, you make the goal post water. I got the keepers of the light. Oh, you do. Uh, it was families of the tragedy assistance program for survivors for a salute to service. Okay. Oh, cool. It's great. Salute service. Salute service. Maybe put out a tweet with them. Maybe publicized a little bit. Yeah. Is there an Rizzi going to get this head coaching job? I don't think so. What if he walks around and does? I mean, that'd be great. But I almost would prefer to have a black magic guy like Darren Rizzi.
in your back pocket as an interim head coach in case you need him. But here's the question. So the Saints are in cap hell. The Saints roster is a mess. What guy? I know everyone like there's only 32 jobs. So there will always be someone who wants the job, but it's not going to be the top job that people are looking for.
Could it just be Darren Rizzi if you if you're looking for a guy to manage your way through cap Hell and to win some games that you probably shouldn't win But also cap out at like six wins a season get the boys to fight hard for you then he would be your guy right
You could do worse. You could do Dennis Allen. Yeah, bring him back. The literally we're like, oh, you, oh, you've, you've coached before. You were eight and 28. Yeah, let's do it. Do you think Dennis Allen is still rooting for the saints? Uh, no, I don't think I don't even think Dennis Allen's watching football. He's probably, he probably watches football. Like my five year old watches football.
He's just watching and being like, what does that mean? What does it first out? He might hate football, too, because he associates it with so many bad memories of losing games. Yeah. He's like, oh, that's a game I would lose. He can, you know, like, they're like representation matters. You need to, you know, you need to see yourself on the screen in movies and stuff. Dennis Allen, every game, no matter what the game, he just sees himself as a losing head coach. Yeah.
He even when it's the saints. He's like, Oh man, I feel bad for that. I feel bad for Kevin Stefanski right now. That's it. That would be me right now. That sucks. Like, ah, no, Dennis, you were coaching the saints. The team that won that game is like, yeah, but it still would have been me. I got to know if if the resonator clogged a toilet before the game.
Yeah, you should just say that he did. Yeah, what does it matter? Although then someone would investigate and be like he actually didn't and that would be a big to do that would be a to do Yeah, he but he does look like a man that could clog a toilet with his piss. Yeah He's did you see his celebration with one of the guys? Yeah, he's the best. Yeah, he's great He's I thought the interim juice. I was wrong about this game I thought the Browns were gonna win this game because I thought it was just gonna you know be gone after game But I think I think Rizzie might have enough juice to have it like they might finish
I wouldn't be shocked if he wins a few more games down the stretch. Yeah, I mean, I'm gonna root for the Saints fans because they're one of the coolest fan bases in the NFL. And they also have to deal with Brian Kelly right now.
Yeah. So ultimately, I think where I'm at is where Hank is at with the Patriots. Monday through Friday, I want the Saints to lose. And then on Sunday, when I'm watching them, I want them to win. Yeah. Yeah. For their own goodness. That feels good. That feels good. Okay. You want to do a couple of ads and then we'll get to another game. The sickos and perverts want to hear about names. Let's do a couple of ads and we'll get to that one.

Shadow Anthony Richardson, he played well today. The Jets made him look good. He, he, maybe the time on the bench helped. I also feel like Shane Steichen did a lot better of job of like playing to his strengths, a lot more designed runs. Yep. He threw the ball well, still a couple of inaccurate passes, but it doesn't matter. He like two big drives in the fourth quarter, uh, two rushing touchdowns. Yeah. Like this was a good day for Anthony Richardson.
I have a radical suggestion for the Colts. Yeah. You know how we talk about going to QB system? Yeah. Why not just have Joe Flack over your quarterback until you get to the red zone? Mmm. And then put Anthony Richardson in. But Anthony Richardson was throwing, he was throwing deep balls today. Yeah, he does. He does. He aired out. He was nine for 12, 185 yards on, on passes 10, 10 plus yards. Yeah, he looked good against the vaunted Jets defense.
I, listen, I'm not going to, I'm not going to take anything away from Anthony Richardson. He's had a tough, tough go of it this year, uh, especially with the last few weeks coming out of the game and getting benched. I thought that was a win for, I mean, it was a win for the Colts, but it was a win for Anthony Richardson and they're weird. They're still in the playoff hunt with Anthony Richardson. No, I didn't mean that as a slight against Anthony. I admit that as a slight towards the Jets. Yes. No, no, the Jets defense is atrocious. Um, I have a, I have a stat for you. Um,
Zach Wilson era for the New York Jets, winning percentage 364. Aaron Rodgers way better than that. Sam Donald winning percentage for the Jets, 342. Aaron Rodgers winning percentage with the Jets, 273. They all had seasons, seasons, multiple seasons. But if you, if Aaron Rodgers has multiple seasons at 273, it might actually get worse.
Or it could get better if they just never lose next year. Oh, that's a good point. Yeah. So next year, is he going to be on the team next year? I don't think so. I saw a couple of reports that even if he wants to play. Oh, they're going to say no. Yeah. Where did you see those reports? I believe it was Connor Hughes. OK, OK. Sounds like a versini.
No, he works for SMY. Okay. Yeah. Cause I, I, that's interesting. I did read her article and she said that he, they might not want her back. Yeah. No, she didn't credit her when she delivers good news. Is that good news? Is that good or bad news? What? If he doesn't, if they don't want him back, I don't know. The light, the future is not bright. What, uh, so what did you say when they asked him? He said, I think so. Yeah. That's it. I mean, that's a good answer. He wants to come back.
Did you cheer like the crowd cheered when the Jets got their first first down in the two minute, under the two minute warning in the first half? I was fired up. Okay. Um, what about when Aaron Rodgers instead of, uh, throwing an interception? Cause he wants to pad his, make sure his stats feel okay. He took a sack to end the game.
Yeah. No, that entire sequence is horrible. The, the pass, the lateral behind the line of scrimmage that went 20 yards backwards. Didn't know what that was. Then he threw it to the middle of the field. It was just, it was just pain. I do feel bad for you, memes. No, thanks. I do. I do too, but not really because it's Aaron Rodgers. If there was any other quarterback, I'd be like, although maybe I feel bad for you because I really wish this had happened with him on the Packers. Like this isn't really doing anything for me.
It's just hurting you. I have a question for you, memes. If you had a time machine and we sent memes back in time, like, you're in half as you're courting Aaron Rodgers, what do you tell the Jets front office? Are you like screaming? Are you waving your hands being like, please don't, don't sign this guy? Or do you say, yeah, let's try it and hope he doesn't tear his Achilles this time. Are you killing baby Hitler?
I think so. Okay. So I think you could say like definitively Aaron Rodgers, you probably regrets going to the Jets and picking the Jets as his team. Yeah, but everything comes back to his Achilles. Yeah, but I'm wondering if the Jets feel the same way like we really fucked up by bringing Aaron. No, everything comes back to a draft and Zach Wilson.
Oh, so it goes further. Yeah, it goes further back. All right, so. But that entire draft was terrible. So whatever quarterback you pick is just would have sucked. So the Achilles though, that was, if the Achilles doesn't happen, do you think that all this plays out differently? Yes, because you have that entire year to evaluate the Jets and how it went. Then you could evaluate Robert, how Robert's out all I did with Aaron Rodgers. You could evaluate how Aaron Rodgers did that entire season. You could be like, yeah, he's washed. I agree with you. You could have drafted a quarterback this year because there was fucking seven of them.
I agree with you. And also, I mean, Robert Salah obviously was a big scapegoat. The Jets defense is so bad since he's left. I know it wasn't great when he was still there, but like... Yeah, no. This season is as soon as they fired him, the season was over. Yeah. A lot of the Adams didn't fix anything, because Han Redick, I don't even know if he's still on the fucking team. Yeah, is he? Yeah, he is, but he just doesn't do anything. Oh, man. I'm Ed Gardner.
He's, he's having a bad year. He'll bounce back next year. Ooh. Golf. Golf. Anders Carlson might have found a cricketer for the next 10 years. Oh, wow. That's huge. It means ripped Aaron Rodgers head off. Oh, what'd you do? What'd you do? We have the fat air. Wait. Oh, like literally ripped his head off. Is it in there? Yeah. Yeah. Let me, let me change the cameras so the people can see it. Oh, my God. You ripped his head off? Yeah, I had to cut it off. Why'd you do that?
I mean, he took off the top 5% of his body. Did you watch the game here? No, in my apartment. And you were just... How was that going? Sad. Shit. Who's that? I saw you tweet, did the Bears in the Jets lose the exact same time? The exact same time. He still got blocked, Aaron Rodgers got sacked. Oh man. So right now at 3 and 8, you guys will be picking 7th.
Yeah. Hold on. Hold on. Hold on. Hold on. Hold on. Hold on. Hold on. No memes. Memes. Shut up, Max. Max is the only one who won in week 11. He's loving it. Loving it. Memes. Hold on. Hold on. Just hold on a second. Seahawks at home. Loss. At dolphins. Loss. At Jaguars. When? Rams, Bills. You guys could run the table. Loss. Nine and eight.
loss loss loss. Do you think that? Will they ever stop making the Jets favorites? No. There were four point favorites. Are they going to be favored against Seahawks? I don't know whose line is it? Anyway, draft Kings. They're no way. They're the worst team that has been favored in this game. They can't be. It's got to be Seahawks like minus two minus three.
Do they have a buy? Yes. Oh, it's a buy. All right. Probably lost a buy. Yeah. They can't be favored against Seahawks. They'll be favored against the buy names. You got to be excited for the buy. You need a week off. Yeah, you do your week off. You need a week off bad. What about this, memes? You come back from the buy and you want to win more games, right? There's nothing to look forward to. No, it's like the appointed ambassador to Costa Rica.
Ooh. How about that? That's sick. Well, I mean, I just made that up, Hank. Wow. Yeah, I can tell. Yeah. So memes.
Is it hurt that this guy is sitting right here? No, the Patriots also suck. Yeah, but they don't shake your hand. The Patriots fucking suck. I mean, they have the same record. It doesn't matter. Josh Allen is still in the division. Okay, but same record. Same record and they beat you. We'll beat them. Okay, but same record and they have a rookie quarterback.
We've also beaten the bills before. We'll beat them again. Hey, can't you do this? Are you in, uh, are you in that money in a football game? I don't. We just had the Patriots have been in win now mode for the last two seasons. No, the opposite. In fact, building, build now. Yeah, memes. I'm sorry to tell you, but that's your, your wrong. If you think that the situation is the same right now. No, it doesn't matter. Josh out.
But Drake may be a mini Josh Allen. This is on the AFCE cycle. Josh Allen will run it for 20 years, and then next team will get their guy. That's how much more time do we have for Josh Allen? I think 13 years. 13 more years? You've crunched the numbers? Yeah. So wait, then who's up after that? I think the Jets.
You think it's Jester. Yeah. Okay. Tom Brady. Okay. So this, okay. So start 13, 13 years. Start taking now for 20, 37. Yeah. That's not bad. 20, 37s are here. That's a little hope. There's no hope. Maybe a Manning brothers in that draft. Yeah. Be like a man in grandson. Yeah. There's no hope. There's no hope. So definitively though, you want him back or not.
Um, the pants are the coaches. What's funny is Mike McCarthy?
Yeah. Okay. What's funny is that they have, like, Aaron's answer to the question of if he's coming back next year is probably the exact same answer that the Jets front office would give right now. Yeah. I mean, yeah, sure, I guess. Uh, yeah, if we can't get someone better, which it's crazy, but there's a lot of people better. Uh, he's just old now. Sucks to watch. Yeah. You know, it's not, it doesn't suck to watch. I was trying to find out.
Yeah. But apparently still wants to play next year, but a lot of people are saying it just won't be with the Jets. It would be really funny if he ended up on the Vikings somehow. We really need that to happen and then goes to like an NFC Championship game. That would rock. Okay. Next up, Dolphins 34 Raiders 19. The Dolphins don't look now, but the Dolphins are kind of in it a little bit. You don't know what? What did you say? What are you gonna say? I don't know. What were you gonna say?
What did you just say? What did you say though? I don't know where we go. I think that was an internal monologue. Yeah, what just happened? I'm down. You are down. I'm down.
This game did not matter. Yeah, but creating a winning culture. Me? Okay. Get yourself up every single week. You have an interim coach. You can't create a winning culture. Anthony Richardson, you can't. There's only so much you can do. Here's the good news. Here's the good news. That was it. That was it. There's no more like that was it. That was it. Cause I know that you were saying to yourself they won that game and then they keep winning like they could do it, but that was it.
Yeah, no, it's dead. It's as dead as possible. That was it. It's been dead. The team has sucked.
The team is sucked. I don't tell you how to be a fan. But every Sunday, you're like, this team sucks. I can't keep rooting for this team. They're so bad. They're not going to make the playoffs. And then every Thursday comes around. It's like, we got a shot. That's sports. We got a shot. That is sports. That is sports. No, that's not true. Big cast has known that he's been fucked for weeks now. Yeah, I mean, true. I have. Keep coming back, though. It's sports. It is sports. If you win your next game, you have to re-head the Aaron Rodgers-Fattie. And you have to say you might run the table.
If you win, you're not going to win. Right. But Thursday's going to come around and he's going to think that they're going to win. We have a 3% chance. We can't run the table. Oh, would it make it the playoffs? But what? What is it? Hit it real quick. What happens if they beat the Seahawks? What's their chance then? It's got to go up to at least like 5%. Max isn't.
I mean there's that they don't give you that option. It is funny that it took until this what are you trying to put that on me? I was What button I declared the bears fucked when there were four and four You took you all the way to three and eight. Yeah, yeah memes Let me ask you this if I had a gun and I told you there's a three percent chance that it's loaded Would you want me to pull the trigger on you?
Yeah. Yeah. All right. Dolphin 34 Raiders 19. Two was awesome. Kind of makes sense that Antonio Pierce said that he should retire after his last concussion. He probably saw the schedule. It's like, oh, we could get it. Maybe easy win on Skyler Thompson.
I, the dolphins, the dolphins could be frisky. So the dolphins are frisky. Let me say that. The dolphins are frisky. The dolphins could somehow make the playoffs. So yeah, with a win, I think they're playing the Patriots next, right? Yeah. I think they would be, well, they definitely would be back at 500 with a win there. No, they would be five and six. They'd be five and six, five and six.
And then they put the Packers on Thanksgiving week, Thanksgiving night, I believe they have a commanding second place lead in the AFC East right now. Yeah, that's what I'm saying about them. Yeah. I there's something there's something to his look good to his look good since he's come back. And it felt like today was like they put it all together. John who Smith went off. It was just yeah, I don't know the dolphins.
Watch out the dolphins are dolphins are gonna play spoiler or maybe fuck around and find a way into this playoff. Yeah, I think yeah, definitely spoiler I don't know if they're gonna make the playoffs, but they do have insane skill positions and two is getting the ball to him He's finding them in space and the offense like a chain look really good. Yeah, what's the dolphins shinskin playoffs 12%
That's four times as much as the Jets. It could happen. And as for the Raiders, the only thing I'm tracking now with the Raiders is Shador Sanders. Yeah. After every loss, Shador Sanders tweets, thank you, God. Now, I don't know if...
This is intentional or not on his part because I saw the meme going around earlier this week. So I kept my eyeball on it. And after this game, I noticed that he did immediately tweet. Thank you, God. So I went back and I looked at every single week that the Raiders have played this season. Okay. And he has done it after every Raiders loss, except he didn't do it at all. Weeks one and week two.
So this boils down to the fact that Shador has been posting every Sunday except for September 29th since week three. Okay. So it has tracked so far, but the thing is the Raiders just haven't won very many games. Yeah. So the only weeks that he's missed doing it have been during Raiders wins. Got it. So he has he tweeted every time for a loss.
Uh, no, because he didn't tweet week one. He's treated every time. Has he ever treated you with the win since since? No, he has not since he started tweeting, thank you God on Sundays. It has only been after Raiders losses. Okay. And he did skip the week where they won a game.
where they beat the brown. So that's what I'm tracking right now. Got it. He started in week three. Yeah. Miss week four. He's treated every other week. Yes. Got it. Which coincides very neatly. Yes. With the Raiders schedule. I mean, I think he would be awesome on the Raiders. He would be. And I feel like Tom Brady would love to have a guy like that on the Raiders. And Dion is head coach of the Raiders. Yeah. I also, Scott Turner, definitely, he's
It's, he's not given the best situation, but he's made the Raiders, the Raiders offense looked better today than they've looked in the last few weeks. Brock Bowers was incredible. They still can't run the ball, but I don't think that's Scott's, or I think that's just, they can't run the ball. I think what he did this week was, was probably pretty smart, which is just get Brock Bowers at tight end, get him the ball there, get Brock Bowers, the ball at receiver. Yeah. Get Brock Bowers, the ball out of the backfield. Everywhere. So we're just going to get this guy the ball as much as we can. Yeah.
So Scott Turner watch. He did better with what he's had than what Luke gets he who also sticks also Brock might be a Blake. Oh, really? They called him Blake Bowers during the broadcast today. And I think Kyle Rudolph said that he wanted Brock Bowers to be big country, right? Yeah, because he's from Napa Napa Valley, which is as country as it gets the most country. Yeah, I
I have my eye on the dolphins. That's all I'm going to say. I've got them circled because since two has been back they beat a Rams team which like people can say whatever they want. The Rams still have some very good players and they're still in the playoff picture. They lost by three to the Bills and then they took care of business against Raiders. I have my eye on them. Will I think we'll see on on the Thursday night Thanksgiving night when they have to go to Lambo. It's going to be cold. That will be it if they win that game.
And they're back to 500 if they beat the Patriots next week.
They might be, they might be the seventh seed. I don't know. And we're not gonna call them frauds. If they win in Lambo and it's gotta be under 40 degrees. I feel like on a holiday that, I don't think it has to be that cold. No, if it's like 60 degrees. Oh yeah, I mean, if it's balmy, if we're talking a nice human Thanksgiving, I'm gonna adjust that up to if it's under 60 degrees at all. I need the, at least the announcer to say welcome to the frozen tundra. And the dolphins won't win at the frozen tundra.
Okay, Vikings 23 Titans 13, Sam Darnold pumpkin watches on hold. He's back to being good quarterback, not pumpkin watch anymore. The Titans, this game was not super exciting other than Will Levis had an awesome 98 yard touchdown pass. That was sick. And the Titans are just like the number one team that just beats themselves. Because we've talked about their special teams really bad.
They also had 13 penalties for 91 yards today, and they gave the Viking seven first downs with penalties. So that was kind of the name of the game. And the Vikings keep just rolling along, eight and two, right? No. Yeah, they're eight and two. And this was the Sam Darnell's audition for the Tennessee Titans.
Yes. It will become the Indianapolis Colts where they just signed old quarterbacks. Yes. I guess Sam Darnell's not old, but he does fit that bill. Yeah. Of a guy that's got a lot of frequent fire. He's been, yeah, he's purchased townhomes in several cities. Yes. And yeah, so Sam went off for, he had 246, two touchdowns, known receptions. This was like a big titty bumping game. Every time I looked up at the screen,
Somebody was in between the 40 yard line. Yeah, and it felt like they didn't really move all that much Yeah, because the big touchdown was that 98 yarder and then I think Jordan Anderson had a big touchdown as well So yeah, it was it just wasn't a lot happening And the Vikings are better than the Titans. We all thought that and that it was proved It's actually it was a good win for the Vikings just the fact that the Jaguars win was Unimpressive. Yeah, I don't know what you want from the Titans for the rest of the season
I don't know what their fans want. I don't either. This is one of those teams where it's like just bi-week for the rest of the year. Yeah. I don't really want to watch this. No. I don't think anyone wants to watch this. I think they should be on the extra TV.
Yeah, they should go to side TV. Although we made a good choice today because that was and we could talk about that game. Oh, I should say, Justin Jefferson officially becomes the most reception yards in a player's first five years and we still have what eight games left, seven games left. Yeah. So he has 6,811 yards in his first five seasons. That is a record. He is just so good. Yeah, so good. Also pretty crazy that the Vikings have one in three in that list because Randy Moss is three.
Yeah. I can't keep a beat on Aaron Jones and how injured he ever is. Yeah. Because he looked like he had some explosiveness and I think he got carted off the field last week. Yeah. He always has like a groin leg. A groin leg. Yeah. And you don't really know what's going to happen. And he wasn't very explosive today. Yeah. So, okay. Talk about explosive. Last game to early slate. Lions 52 Jaguars 6. Holy fuck.
Uh, someone in this room said this is their, the NFL makes no sense. Game of the year said very confidently to on the Jaguars spread and money line. Let me just read that again. 52 to six. The lions had 645 yards of offense or winning this game at one point. They were. They were three nothing. Uh, what were you thinking when they were up three nothing?
It was on the side TV. So I couldn't even really pay attention. It was three nothing. I was like, yes. Listen, wait a minute. What does that mean? What? What do you mean? Because it was on the side TV? It was all pay attention. Yes, Max. It was on the side TV. So when you're looking forward at all these TVs, you don't forget about looking to the side. By the time I remembered to look to the side, it was 21 to three, maybe five minutes later.
He's not talking about a side TV on the main wall. He's talking about the TV that's across the world. Yeah. It was the TV. We put it on the TV because we knew this was going to happen. I thought it was just like one of the other. No, no, we said it on Friday that this was a game where the lines will come out.
They will kill the Jaguars and the Jaguars will quit because Doug Peterson is going to get fired because they have the bye week next week. There was a report this morning that Doug Peterson will probably get fired. I would assume by the time you're listening to this, Doug Peterson's been fired. Uh, this was, this was like Alabama verse Kent State.
Like I think Tennessee played Kent State this year and it was like 71 nothing. That was this was an early September. Little little school going to an SEC school game, which isn't supposed to happen in the NFL. Jared Goff had 412 yards, four touchdowns. The only quarterback ever to have multiple games with a perfect passer rating that had 400 plus yards, seven touchdowns, seven touchdowns, five guys scored.
I mean, this was insane. Yeah. Hank, how much of you, you saying that the NFL doesn't make any sense in picking the Jaguars was because Mac Jones was starting zero. I just, if anything, it should have been reverse. Yeah. It was a bad pick. I'm very dumb. I don't know ball. I tried to call my shot and I was, I was wrong. And that will be the last time I do that. If you had known that before the game, there would be a report that if the Jaguars don't show up, if they get blown out, then their head coach will be fired. Would that have made you more inclined or less inclined to bet on them?
More inclined because if there's ever a world where they were gonna win it was gonna be because they were fighting for their coach clearly They did the opposite right, but they're like oh wait He's gonna be fired if we get if we get blown out bet
Right. But if, you know, in hindsight, if situations are reversed, they actually wanted to play for him like a Disney movie or something. Yeah. They beat the Lions. Yeah. Well, they did. That's when this one for does. They did. When they were up three nothing. Yeah. Some other crazy sets. Monroe had 11 targets. He had 11 catches, 161 yards and two touchdowns. This one's nuts. So these teams actually played two years ago. And if you don't remember, it's because it went almost exactly the same.
In the last eight quarters, the Jaguars and Lions have played. The Lions are up 92 to 20 and they have not punted. That's nuts. 92 to 20. You want to hear something else that's crazy? This is just a little bit over a year ago. This is August, 2023. There was a poll. I think the athletic put it out. Who would you rather be? The Lions or the Jaguars? Yes. 66% of people said the Jaguars. Wow. This was so
It sounds crazy. It is crazy. But it's basically less than a year ago.
The Jaguars were eight and three heading into that Monday night football game against the Bengals. Since then, they have lost 14 of their last 17 games. Think about that. Eight and three. That was the Pete Frisco year, the schedule, the schedule, the schedule, they were going in the Super Bowl. They were eight and three and since then, the absolute bottom has fallen out. Yeah, it's been bad. It's been real bad. Real bad. And when you think you can't get any worse in Jacksonville, somehow it does find a way. It's a worse loss in organization history. Yeah.
It's not supposed to look like this in the NFL. Like, it's just not supposed to look like this. Jameson Williams did the hold my dick to him. He did the hold my dick. Every time we looked up, there was another long touchdown.
I also think in this game we can talk about their skill position players because they are awesome on the lines. And Sam LaPorter didn't even play. Sam LaPorter did not play. You got blocked. Everybody at the skill position is awesome on the lines. But their offensive line was just gaping people.
It's a tired thing to say, like, I could have rushed for X amount of yards in this game. I think I probably would have had 12 yards. I would have had 12 yards rushing today if I played on the line. That's what I'm saying. When it would it look like not just in score, but in just watching the game, it looked like an SEC team versus a Mac team. Yeah. Because it was like the difference in, I should say Toledo did beat Mississippi State this year. So it doesn't always go like that. Mississippi State. Yeah, Mississippi State. They beat Mississippi at Mississippi State. But it was
like men and boys playing in this game. And the only bad news for the Lions is Alex Anseloni got broke his arm. So he is going to be out for six to eight weeks. But other than that, the Lions are just incredible. Yeah. Well, they'll probably have a buy. So back for the playoffs, maybe. Yeah. And the Lions, by the way, for the first time in franchise history, are officially Super Bowl favorites.
Wow. Good for them. Good for them. They are officially Super Bowl favorites. Love that. Max, have you reached the point where you're now rooting against the Lions? Yeah, for sure. Have to be. Plus 350 the Lions are to win the Super Bowl. The Chiefs are plus 450. It's crazy. Lions are Super Bowl favorites. So I don't know. I mean, that's not... Their schedule's not easy though.
No. Well, well, they're better than everyone. They're at home though, which sucks. Yeah. And they're also better than everyone. So their schedule is kind of easy. So they got the Colts better than. Better than Chicago who better than Chicago is capable of almost beating anyone. If we got if we brought back Justin Fields for just the Lions game because he actually was the Lions killer. And that doesn't mean he beat them a bunch. It means that he was just good against them. And Mattie Rifless happened a bunch.
Uh, then Packers bills better than bills bills is a tough game. Good game. 49ers better than that's the only one on the road though. They're better than the 49ers. What are we talking about? That happens. I understand. I understand better than I think they're significantly better than the 49ers right now. So they've got they got two outdoor games.
which is the, that's the knock against Jared Goff. Although Jared Goff played well outdoors. And the 49ers game will be fine weather. Most likely. The bears, yeah, the bears might. But that's also the second last game of the season. Like the Niners team could get, could look different then than they do now. Yeah. I hate the Niners. I hate that I'm even like justifying this, but. Oh, man. Oh, you're thinking that. Oh, I know what he's thinking. I know what he's thinking. When Brock Purdy got hurt. What, one seed?
No, you're thinking maybe you get two seed and what if the Niners got the seven seed? Oh, I would hate that. Yeah. That would be bad. I know. I mean, because the NFC, the seven, there's so many teams I don't want to see from the seven seed. Yeah, the NFC is going to be a tough battle for that, you know, six, seven seed. Give me your acceptable list of teams that you would like to see at the seven seed. Well, I like this. Who would you like to host?
I don't like this because then it puts it puts bolts in board material. Yeah. Yeah, but you got to say it. Just. Oh, wow. Get it. Get names. Yeah. Get his Seahawks Seahawks. I would love. OK, fair.
We play the Rams next week. I'll answer that question after we play the Rams. Okay. 49ers, you wouldn't box on you. I would not want to see the 49ers. I would not want to see the bucks. Bears. I'd be getting healthy. Bears. Bears would suck just because that I would have to be in a room. I would have to do it with you. What do you mean you'd kill us?
But it's all suck. Saints. Saints would be great. Cowboys be great. Panthers. Panthers would be great. Giants would be great. OK. All right. So we're about commanders. You say them. Yeah, you didn't say that. They're turning seven seed at the season. Vikings I would love. I would love the Vikings. We beat the fuck out of the Vikings every time. Bolton board. Yeah, that's that's Bolton board that I don't care about saying because the Vikings fans know it too.
Yeah. Yeah. Now I really wanted to be the Vikings. Vikings are the Seahawks based on what Max just said. That's what I would love. So I mean the line. They're just so good. The lines are so good. I don't. I don't know what else to say. The one seed would be phenomenal. They're just and this was part of why I bet on them today is like.
They're so good. And they also are in a way where like Dan Campbell like doesn't have them in like let it like he somehow has them. He's got them scared every week. He's got the juice. It's like you better go out there and play fucking hard. Yeah. Or I'm going to fucking beat you up. I will kick your ass. Yeah. It's crazy. Yeah. It didn't he didn't do any of that in the first half of the first quarter though. Yeah. True. Three nothing. Three nothing. If the 49 yard field goal, if the quarter was only 10 minutes long, I think the Jaguars would have won the first quarter.
Yeah. Oh, also we should say the Jaguar's punter was great today.
He had five puns, 53.5 yard average and three that he put inside the 20. It's good. It's really good day. That's something that you can build around. Yeah. Build the whole team around the Jags punter. All right, so let's take a look at the Jaguar's coaching roster right now. Yes. The interim head coach is going to be. Yes, please. Press Taylor, offensive coordinator. Trying to the show. Yeah. I don't think he would get the off. I don't think he would get the. Well, like the he's not a perfect.
meatball interim head coach. Okay. Um, then the other options we have Mike McCoy. That's a football guy. That's a name that's been around football for a long time. I could see him, uh, Chad Hall way too much of a Chad also friend of the program. He helped us get the, uh, Matthew Stafford, uh, interview because that is Matthew Stafford's brother-in-law.
He is also 100% Chad though. They act. And he actually might be a good interim. Yeah. His parents accurately named him. Yeah. He could be a good interim because he does have the juice. They're running backs coach. I've got my eye on this guy just because his name is Jerry Mack.
Okay, that's a good. That's a good interim head coach name. Phil Raushers got a nice goatee for an interim coach kind of Dan Campbell hat tip there. And then on defense, Ryan Nielsen has a fucking mustache. Look at this guy. Look at their defense. Oh, yeah. I just don't know if you you just got 50 hung on. Yeah, I don't know what kind of message that sends. You can't do that. Although maybe it makes your defense better because he's no longer coaching. That's true.
I Chad Hall. Chad Hall is a gritty guy. Okay. He's a gritty guy. I'm going to guess Chad. Chad Hall was the wide receivers coach for a while with the bills. All right. So he could be he could be the guy. Chad or J. Mac? Chad or J. Mac? Yeah. I just like saying Jerry Mac. Yeah, not Mike McCoy. Remember he was a head coach. He was bad. Yeah, but he's got through the charger. Sometimes they like to do that and they say this guy's got experience.
Yeah, yeah, Chad Hall was I think he played football at Air Force. So he would be fuck. Yeah, you know military time everything also Trevor Lawrence. She's not gonna play anymore. I wouldn't yeah Big-time business decision get family on the way. Yeah Okay, let's take another break and we'll go to the afternoon games. So you got a couple more ads PFT

okay afternoon games max alluded to this but bronchos thirty eight falcons six i'm so happy i became i came out as a believer i'd get you in this game why are you understand like i i explained it i had been through the Auburn bonyx i had organ future last year i was i've been i've been hurt many times by bonyx uh... but i am a believer uh... as of last friday and holy shit that he lighted up
three hundred and seven yards for touchdowns twenty for thirty three the first rookie quarterback ever to have a game with eighty percent completion percentage four or more touchdowns and three hundred or more yards uh... the broncos that's how you get off the mat against you know with with with a terrible terrible loss the chiefs they get off the mat they throttle the falcons
And now we have to have the difficult conversation. Is Bonix going to win rookie of the year? Yeah. I mean, he is, he's worked his way back into contention for it. What are the odds right now? I look them up right now. Cause for a while, Jaden was like minus 400, but it's got to be like, it's got to be much, much closer than that right now. Yeah. Bonix playing awesome. The last nine games for Bonix have been unreal in terms of scoring touchdowns and not turning the ball over.
Yeah, he has stopped it which it's like give and take for me with bow because part of what I loved about bow at least early on this season is he did make some of those crazy laser beam throws directly at a defender correct, but he stopped doing that now So it's only good bow. Yeah, good bow now. Yeah, it's down right now. Maybe cuz until after Monday night
Maybe right now it's just MVP. I'm seeing on draft Kings. Although it shouldn't be because there's no Monday night rookies playing that I can think of Cooper Rush. Does he still have rookie eligibility? Trey Lance? Can he still be considered a rookie? Who do Texans have? Texans don't have offensive rookies.
So either way, BONIX has been incredible. BONIX, yeah, he right now has 14 touchdowns, 2,200 yards, four rushing touchdowns. Max, you think we all picked the wrong guy? Which, by the way, would be very funny if BONIX went on to win multiple Super Bowls, and then we could just all be miserable together. And there's a shitload of tape of us saying bad things about BONIX over the last time. I don't take anything back, because again,
I've been hurt by Bonix so many times. I mean even like during the draft. Yeah, some of the Broncos uniform. I think we all thought the same thing which was Sean Payton found his son. But that's my point is I had history. Bonix didn't come into the NFL as a rookie. Bonix was part of my life for what feels like a decade. Yeah. But yeah, he's playing an incredible ball and the Broncos look good. Like their defense is good. The defense completely discombobulated the Falcons. They looked so bad today and
Like I said, that's how you get off the mat. The Broncos are a good football team and to respond like that after a loss like they had at the Chiefs where you saw all the quotes afterwards saying that was a gut punch and it was gonna be tough to come back from. They came back from it and they demolished, demolished the Falcons. Okay, so we alluded to this on Friday's show, but an update to it. Sean Payton is now four and oh against the NFC South. His point differential is plus 88.
Wow, he's averaging. I'm not a math guy 22 points killing them of Point differential against all those teams in the division that used to kill him this game was never even like it wasn't even the Falcons never got I think their first drive Was was decent and they got a field goal and it was seven three and then it you you blinked and it was over Bonex just was dicing them up the defense is suffocating with the rare times that Bijon Robinson got the ball in open space it closed up really quickly on him
Yeah, he was able to get like one cut in one and a half cuts and boom get hit the defense for the Broncos is they are really really good Yes, they got their asses kicked by the Raiders. Excuse me the Ravens But they're they're a very good football team. I think the and on the Falcons side. I'm I'm done with the Falcons they're like they could they could be in the playoffs because they obviously have They have those two wins over the box So it's gonna be hard for the bucks to although I wouldn't I wouldn't be shocked because the Bucks had get Mike Evans back but
I think I'm done with the Falcons. They don't get it. They don't do anything on defense. I mean, they don't rush the passer whatsoever. I love be John. I just they're so frustrating to watch defensively that I think I have to be done with them. They're not going to like this is the NFC South.
for the first month and a half of the season, especially the first two weeks, we were like, holy shit, Saints are incredible. You know, Saints look great. The Falcons, you know, have some big time games. They had a couple of tragic losses. The Bucks are firing everywhere, Baker. The NFC South is back to just being the NFC South where I don't, are they going to win a playoff game? The NFC South, maybe if the Bucks get in because Baker, but I don't, I just don't.
I don't know what to make at the Falcons. I just I'm I'll tell you what's thoroughly unimpressed. Tell you what to make at the Falcons. They are Kirk Cousins. Yeah, it's perfect. It's actually a perfect marriage that they have because if you look at them, they have lost to every really good team, every good team that they played. And then not true. Oh, the Eagles.
Well, you guys, the Eagles lost that game. They beat the Eagles. I don't know if Falcons won that. Depends on what you think of the Bucks too. Depends on what you think of the Bucks, but the Falcons are exactly who you would think that they are. They're going to be an above average team, ultimately, because there's a lot of shitty teams in the league. They're probably going to make the playoffs. They might not win a playoff game. They might win a squeaker in the first round, but I don't think that they're going to do any damage whatsoever in the NFC.
Yeah, I want I'm rooting for the bucks to make the playoffs now even even in spite of Stephen Shea because he's been released. Yeah, he's been released and I like Baker is more fun in a playoff setting than what I'm watching for the fact. I just don't understand how they can they get nothing in terms of defensive push and they got they signed Matthew Judon. Yeah, it's it's crazy to watch.
Yeah. I mean, this was an ass kicking from start to finish. Michael Pinnox got in with it felt like the entire fourth quarter in front of him. Yeah. Didn't look bad actually. Shout out Michael Pinnox. But yeah, it's a good time to be a Broncos fan. I kind of want to bet the Bucks to win the NFC South. They play basically the identical schedules down the stretch. The only difference being I believe the
I believe the the box have a game against the Cowboys which might be good now that Now that Dak is out so that like but other than that they kind of have the same schedule like they both play the Raiders both play the Giants both play the the Panthers so
It's good. It's gonna be tough for the Bucks to make it up because they've lost both the games this Saints, but I'm team Bucks. Sorry Falcons fans. I just can't Maybe I don't know I don't know what you can do give the ball make the whole team out of Bijon because I love him But I just can't watch your defense anymore. I got news for you
I think that the Broncos could get 11 wins. Yeah, I think it's very possible. I was talking about the Falcons in box, but yeah. But we set a couple of weeks ago that this was going to be like the hard part of the Broncos schedule because they had to go up against the Ravens, had to go at the Chiefs. And then the Falcons, they might have been a good team. We weren't really sure. Now I think we have a better understanding. But then they get the Raiders, the Browns, the Colts, the Chargers, the Bengals, and the Chiefs.
I think 10 or 11 wins is very, very realistic. 11 is going to be probably tough. I have a feeling like they're going to win one of those two games against either the Chargers or the Chiefs at home. They'd have to go five and one down the stretch. But yeah, no, the Broncos are good. The Broncos are a good team and they feel like the future is bright for the first time in a long time with the Broncos because since Peyton Manning, they've been through a lot of shit. They had Peyton Manning and then the decade it's been nine years since then,
They've been going through quarterbacks and been, you know, going through coaches and kind of a laughing stock for a franchise that was the model of consistency for a very long time, but now it feels like they're going in the right direction. So you can look at this one of two ways. The first being like Sean Payton, great job against the NFC South. But then when you take away all those games and you're left with what they've done besides those games, they've won two games outside of the NFC South.
They've beaten the Jets 10 to 9. No longer a good win. Never a good win. And then they beat the Raiders. Those are the two wins outside that those aren't big. Yeah, not. Yeah. So now I'm talking my way out of it now.
I don't know. Let's not put, let's not put a cap on the, like if the Broncos don't get to 10 or 11 wins, that's not a failure of a season because it feels like they have a quarterback that they can build around and they have a good young defense and like Sean Payton might have his mojo back. So it's the future is bright because we don't want to say they're going to win 10 or 11 games and then they don't like, oh man, that was disappointing because we set them up for that. Yeah, we set them up for failure.
this will not do that that's our job it is our job media we have a job to do they got a job to do if the Broncos they play at the best of the ability today if they can do that they should win the Super Bowl what is their if they play the Super Bowl against Falcons I'm taking the Broncos I'm taking the Broncos minus thirty one what a
So if the playoffs started today, the Broncos would be in. And if they can get to 10 wins, they should get in there because the teams behind them have a lot of ground to make up, especially now that the Bengals, which we'll get to have caught another loss and we'll have to discuss that. Still don't want to stop believing in them, which I should. But the Broncos do feel like they should get into the playoffs. Yeah.
I would agree. That schedule coming up, they should. Yeah, and the Falcons, I'm just, I don't know. I'm just, whatever. Whatever with the Falcons. Hank, are you doing reminders? Whatever. Yes. I think, can you remind me to bet against the Falcons in a wild card? Excuse me, super wild card weekend. Yes.
Yes, please let me just look at that although If it was started right now be the it'd be the Vikings getting it's the Falcons That's two franchises with some really sad playoff history. Mm-hmm, and they played in a very famous game That's true, but also Kirk cousins were tied in the play tie. Yeah, that would be fun. Yeah fun storyline Okay, another team. I don't know what the fuck to make of well actually both of them Seahawks 29 or 17
I think the Niners are in a lot of trouble. But I said it on Friday, I was like, I think they're in a lot of trouble and they blew another fourth quarter lead. Gino Smith, this was the full Gino Smith roller coaster of a game where we had a terrible interception, another snap issue where we've said it a million times, but if you watch the Seahawks game without fail, at least once a game, they'll lose 10 to 15 yards on a snap problem.
But then Gino put on his hero cape and led a fourth quarter drive that was awesome. He was seven for eight, 54 yards, two rushes, 29 yards. He now, since 2023, has seven fourth quarter game winning drives. That's the most in the NFL. That's Gino Smith, the whole roller coaster. You saw it all with Gino Smith today.
The bad, the good, the ugly, the great, it was there. And it was weird because the Seahawks, they kept it relatively close, but it didn't feel like they had enough going on where they were gonna win, but you kept watching the Niners fail to put them away, and you're like, they're just letting the Seahawks hang around way, way, way too long here. The Seahawks could fuck around and win this game. They kept, it seemed like every time I looked up, JSN had another catch for like 12 yards, and little by little, they got it done at the end.
I am, I am very worried about the Niners now. I figured that they were going to join me. I thought that they were going to kick the shit out of the Seahawks. Yeah. The NFL makes no sense. And they play at Green Bay and at Buffalo their next two games. The Niners. So, and if you look at the standings, they're one in three in the NFC West.
So, the NFC West is a complete shit show. Very fun division, but it's a shit show because every team is still very much alive. And the Niners, like this is the, like this happened in the Cardinals game. It's happened in the Seahawks game. It's happened in the Rams game where they can't put teams away. And I know they didn't have Kittle today and obviously Brandon and I use out, but it's very concerning. They cannot, it seems like they cannot put teams away and win these games where they feel like the better team for three quarters.
And then it just falters and Brock Purdy, like he was running for his life. I give a lot of credit to Seahawks defense. They were all over the place. The only only person they couldn't guard was Juwan Jennings. But the Seahawks defense was flying. Brock Purdy felt like he had to scramble for a million yards in the pocket and then out of the pocket. And yeah, the Niners, like it's crazy how quickly you can look at it and be like, wow, the Niners
This is going to be very, very, they don't have much margin for error going down the stretch. Nobody in that division does. No. Even the Cardinals who lead the division right now, I think they're up by one game, right? And then there's a three-way tie for second place. Although the Niners would be in fourth place because they're in, they're one and three in the division. Yeah, but what I'm saying is like no team can, like tiebreakers are one thing, but no team in that division should be comfortable right now. No. It's gonna be chaos. Yeah.
Yeah. And with the NFC North, the three teams, the NFC North all playing well, there's, there's not a lot of, there's not a lot of room for your commanders. Like that's the seven seed is not, you're going to have to get to probably 11 wins. It's going to be, I think one team out of the West. Yeah. I'm pretty confident with that. Yeah. Well, it better be because if it's not then something bad happens to you, something bad happened to either me or to maybe the Packers.
That's true. That would be nice. That would be nice. That would be nice. Okay. So and yet to see off a by with their leading. So their leading tackler got cut and then another guy retired and they answered the bell and then Geno Smith hit him with a night night night. The Steph Curry night night.
Yeah, so there was a 90.3% win probability that the Niners had. That's every game for them. It is. It's crazy. So I was looking at the chart. I was like, that seems bad, but no, this is kind of the story of how Kyle Shanahan has been operating recently. Yeah.
They're the every game for them feels like they have it and then oh whoops something happened I mean like I said the especially in the division they lost that Rams game They they got out scored 13 to 3 in the fourth quarter in that game the Cardinals game earlier in the year remember when they were like what were they 10 point favorites or something the Cardinals beat them 11 nothing in the fourth quarter So they can't put teams away. Yeah, they just cannot put teams away and I know Kittle would definitely help but they can't put teams away right now
Yeah, they they broke into all their bag of magic tricks that they had without Kittle and they're trying to get the ball around trying to have different people rush it Spread it around a lot on offense zero catches day for Ricky Pierce all though Yeah, and that's the guy that you can go to downfield and I don't even know if they targeted maybe they target him a couple times but I
Um, the offense does, it's not fun. I used to watch the 49ers play and be excited to watch them play. And that stopped when this season started. Yeah. Even though they got Christian McCaffrey back, they're not fun to watch an offense, right? No, they're not. They're not. They're broken. All right. Last game in the afternoon slate and then we'll talk seven, any football bills, 30 chiefs, 21. The chief's perfect season is done.
The Bills shot McDermott has learned he's starting to learn he's getting smarter because this game essentially came down to the fourth and two on the Chiefs 26 yard line where the Bills could have kicked a field goal to go up five and he said.
Wait a second, Patrick Holmes is on the other sideline. If I go up five, he will go down, score a touchdown and rip all of our hearts out of our chest. And he said, Josh Allen, go do something crazy. And that's exactly what he did with the 26 yard touchdown run to win the game, seal the game, good for the bills for getting smarter and winning a game like this. I know they've beaten the Chiefs, I think four straight years in the regular season and then lost three straight years in the playoffs. So this doesn't really mean much.
But it's still nice because they have a chance at the one seed and Sean McDermott is getting smarter. It's also better than the alternative. Correct. So the alternative is to lose to the Chiefs in the regular season and then lose them again to the playoffs. Right. This is better. You would rather have the confidence that maybe you can win if your coach doesn't absolutely screw himself over to the game. And yeah, if Sean McDermott had kicked that field goal and then kicked off to Mahomes and then lost,
I would say there would be an argument to be made for Sean McDermott to start packing his bags every in the season. At that point, it's like, what have you learned? Yeah. Nothing. Because everybody that's watching this knew that was right call. You would have been an utter bonehead not to do it. Also, congratulations to Josh Allen because on that rushing play,
He became the all-time leader in rushing touchdown for the Bills, surpassing O.J. Simpson. Oh, nice. A record that the Bills were desperately hoping... That's huge. ...will be broken. Fuck you, O.J. That's huge. He has more than Thurman Thomas? Yeah. That's crazy. Yeah.
Damn, good for Josh Allen. He remains too ahead of OJ in the category of people that he never murdered though. That's also fact. I mean, I think right now the Bills are a better team than the Chiefs. Obviously, the playoffs are a different animal and Patrick Mahomes will do Patrick Mahomes things and will be like, hey, how'd they win three in a row?
The Bills defense is good. Their offense is good. They couldn't even run the ball today, and Josh was without Keon Coleman and Dawson Knox, and they still found a way. They're gonna get Matt Milano back. Like the Bills, like you said last week, for a team that had their championship window close, they're pretty damn good. Yeah, this is all X for an off year.
No one expects the bills to do anything. For a rebuilding year, they're pretty damn good. It turns out you can rebuild when you have Josh Allen as your quarterback. Yeah, and you let Josh Allen be Josh Allen. Yeah. Just let him go back there and figure something out. Yeah. And he'll make it happen. Except there was a moment at the end of the first half where Allen threw that interception where the Chiefs go down. And I thought, I think they get three points out of it. But to me, that felt like one that we're going to be looking at at the end of the game and be like, fuck, the Holmes has the ball.
down like three points. Yeah. And now he's going to go win the game because of that costly interception. Yeah. But no, the bill is overcame it. Congratulations to Buffalo. No, Josh didn't play a perfect game, but he did just enough, especially at the end of the game. And he is very much in the MVP conversation. Also, the bill's defense did a very good job of bottling up Travis Kelsey, which, you know, he's killed them in the past. I think he had eight yards total. Then they went to Brock, though.
That left Brock open. Excuse me. No, great, great. No, great. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Also, this is a crazy step. The Chiefs, so the Bills scored 30 points. That's the fifth straight game. They scored 30 points. The Chiefs hadn't allowed 28 plus points in a regular season game since week four, 2022 to Tom Brady. So that was 38 straight games that their defense held a team under 28, which is a winning recipe when you have Patrick Mahomes. Yeah.
But it also showed that if the Chiefs defense doesn't ball out the Chiefs offense is like it's not The perfect offense and they don't have they have a lot of answers, but they don't have every answer to play in like a shootout type game
There was a moment in the first half where I thought to myself, like, how the fuck did the Chiefs get Xavier Worthy? Oh, yeah. The bills let the Chiefs have Xavier Worthy. But then you see where Xavier Worthy is lacking what the Chiefs have had in the past at receiver, which is I think Xavier Worthy has the least amount of sideline awareness of any receiver in the NFL.
Also, it's happened to him a few times this year where he's wide open downfield for like 40 yards and then he catches it and doesn't even think to get, I think today he dragged his foot a full, I think it was a full step before the ball got there. Yeah. And so then he just steps out of bounds. Earlier this year, he just stood out of bounds and made a catch.
It's small things that maybe, you know what, maybe this is how the Chiefs are getting me right now. Maybe it's like, okay, they're convincing me that they're a flawed football team, that they don't have it like they did in years past. And then all of a sudden the playoffs, Xavier Worthy is going to have like a perfect, perfect understanding of how to get his toes in. Yeah, I know there's still, I mean, they're both rookies, but I would much rather have Keon Coleman right now.
Right now, yeah. Yeah. And that's the, I mean, that's the, the meme, like I can't believe the bills let Xavier, you know, the chief's kid, Xavier Worthy. Well, they got Keon Coleman. Yeah. And I know he didn't play in this game, but Keon Coleman has looked like he has been more of a complete receiver in the last month and a half. And Xavier Worthy's nice. Xavier Worthy is super, super fast, but he hasn't been like a guy that you can go to time and time again. So that one we might have gotten ahead of ourselves. Maybe. I still think Xavier. We won. We were just like,
Well, it was his first touch. Yeah, yeah. The first time he touched the ball scores a touchdown. Yeah. I think Xavier Worthy is going to be really, really good and very, very, very good fit for Patrick Mahomes. But I think most receivers would probably be a better fit with Mahomes than anybody else. Yeah, I'd agree with that. So this was a great game though. We had great football on Sunday and we talked about the Sunday night football game, which we just ended up watching. Oh, by the way, so the Chiefs obviously first loss.
it will be very interesting because now with the Steelers winning and the Bills winning the one seat is definitely up for grabs and the Steelers do play the Chiefs so it will be interesting how it shakes out but the Bills bills have a little bit of a tough schedule because they have to play the Niners and I think they have to go to the Lions yeah but this is up for grabs and it's it feels so so important to get that one seat in the AFC because the AFC is so top heavy
that like if you get the one seed and you could avoid playing the Chiefs or like if you're the bills and you could avoid playing the Chiefs in this in the second round, that would be pretty nice. And so vice versa. So last year, it was that was it the second round? Steelers had to go to the Chiefs and got the shit kicked out of them. I believe, right? No, the Steelers. The Steelers haven't won a playoff game in those wild cars. It was one of the playoffs last year.
The Steelers went to the bills went to the bills. What am I looking at here? I don't know. I don't know what you're looking at Remember it was the snow. They changed the game 2012. Oh, yeah. Yeah, this is a couple years ago. Yeah That was the that was the TJ watt first touchdown
game. When the Steelers had to go to the Oh, that's right. Two or three years. We thought we thought, yeah, well, Hank might have wanted a shitload of money. Yeah. But I guess I don't get the feeling like my homes can go into Pittsburgh and do the same kind of stuff that he's done in the past, like going into Buffalo and shutting them down.
I feel like the Steelers, the Steelers defense at home is good enough to stop my homes. I mean, he last year he went into Buffalo and Baltimore. So I'm not going to say that my homes can't go into anywhere and win.
feel like the Steelers defense though at home, but he's Patrick Holmes. Listen, maybe you might be right. The Steelers might be able to, but I would, I'm never going to doubt Patrick Holmes going anywhere in a playoff game. After last year, when it was like the Chiefs are bad and they have to go play at Buffalo, then they have to go play at Baltimore and they beat them both. Yeah. That kind of ended that one for me. I don't know. Tomlin at home, nighttime playoff game.
Yeah, towel's going. Yeah, cold. I'm getting pumped up for playoff football. I'm getting pumped up for playoff football, which you probably, unfortunately, are not if you are a Bengals fan because the Sunday night football game was incredible. Chargers 34, Bengals 27.
this game was everything that we wanted out of both teams because we had the chargers were incredible in the first half uh... then justin herbert was bad for uh... good portion of the third and fourth quarter and joe burrow put the bangles on his back and was like we're going to that we're we're we're winning this game i'm gonna do everything we can
And then they just both kind of like lost their minds. The Bengals miss a couple kicks. Evan McPherson misses a couple kicks. There was that stretch where we had, what was it, 11 plays in a minute? It was 11 plays in a minute. I'm pulling up the exact the drives here. They both lost their mind. They did because it was a tie game. It's 27, 27. And both teams felt like they were going to try to actually just hitting yourself in the head with the football right now. You okay? I have ADD. Okay.
He was seriously like slamming a full speed into his head. It was 27, 27, and both teams felt like they had to throw the ball to win. Neither team want to admit that they might want to give up on this game and just take it to overtime. So what ended up happening was the ball going back and forth, back and forth at the end through incompletions. And it was insane. I felt like I was going crazy. Neither one of these coaches has ever watched the end of a football game before.
Yeah, no, it was the one where the Evan McPherson misses a kick. There's a minute and 45 seconds left. The Chargers have, I think, two timeouts, and they need, I don't know, 25 yards to get in range for Dicker the Kicker, and they just went
pass pass pass in completion and completion and completion and punted it back to joe burrow ten seconds later mmm like run the ball and try to get you know like run a little clock off you have time outs get some yards but and then the bingles just did the same thing back to them and you get the end of the game where um not to make it about the bears but jim harborough did everything that mattie befus cannot do
uh... in boats book like he basically took both the commanders and the packers loss uh... into one last minute of the game because with first in ten on like the bangles whatever was twenty five and a timeout is pocket instead of just you know being like all will kick a field over here they ran a play jk dobbins for touchdown and then when the helmet they played sideline defense took a timeout before the hail mary
and blitz Joe burrow and didn't let him get a clean pass off and we're able to win the game. Yeah. So it was, I believe, good job, Jim Harbaugh. You're a good coach. I believe it was 15 plays in the last two minutes, but in that first minute after the two minute warning, I think they got 11 plays off in that short time span. At the end, we're talking about with Harbaugh, like trying to go for the win and continuing to actually play off the football. Yes.
Do you think for a second that Brandon Staley would have done that? No. Brandon Staley would have so happy to settle for a 52-yard field. Hell no. And if you know anything about the history of the Chargers, and I think Harbaugh has done research about the history of the Chargers' painful losses. Yes. Because he managed that in a way that was so completely different from everything that the team has done in the past that makes you think he's actually sat down and watched that.
Yeah, because they almost charged with this game away. They did. Justin Herbert was, I think he was six or 20 at one point in the second half where he was almost perfect in the first half. They tried. Joe Burrow played an awesome second half. He always has to. Yeah. He has to put the team on his back constantly. And you know, maybe if they had done more on offense in the first half, because they only scored six points in the first half, but I'm
I'm sad that the Bengals can't make the playoffs. I wish they just put them in the playoffs. Yeah, because they're not making the playoffs. I think I'm ready to officially say the Bengals are not going to make the playoffs. I'm going to look at the playoffs and when they come out, I'm going to think that the Bengals would be favored over like 70 percent. They might not be favored over them, but they would be the team no one wants to play. Yeah. 100 percent. What is, yeah, they have to play.
the Steelers the cow I mean they have to win every game they have to win every game they have to they have to run the table they have to go 6-0 down the stretch to finish 10-7 and have a chance to make the playoffs and they have to play the Steelers twice so I don't know how they're gonna win every game and the Broncos are in there as well
I don't know how I've said we've also said the same thing about the Bengals for I think the last five weeks, but they keep losing games like this where they look their offense looks incredible and T Higgins was finally back and he was awesome and They just put themselves in such a hole this season. This is that one reporters tweet about how you can tell if T Higgins is going to play It's based on how he goes up the hill to practice
Oh. Because the Bengals have to cross the street to get to their practice facility. And then there's a small hill that they have to go up. And I think when he doesn't, when he's not going to play that week, he walks up the hill and when he is going to play. Got it. He does like a little jog up it. Hey, Mike Brown, why wouldn't you just pay T Higgins and Jamar Chase and because they're really fun to watch in tandem and they're really, really hard to defend? Yeah. Really, really hard to defend.
I just think he doesn't want to pay him. Yeah, no, he's cheap. And it's got to be so frustrating for Bengals fans because this team, you're going to look back at this season and it's going to be a season that you just like, how do we blow this? How do we not make it to the playoffs?
We had it. We lost the Patriots week one. You lost the Ravens in two games where you could have easily won either of them. I think this game tonight, I think Evan McPherson makes a kick and it's totally different. I think Mike Brown looks at his receivers and he's like, I guess I have to pay one of you guys because you have to have one good receiver. But the more I pay my second receiver, that just means I'm going to have to pay my quarterback more in like six years. Yeah. So I don't want to do that either.
also i i i i gave you guys uh... the stat about maddie before some one-score games that tailor also not great one-score game so he is thirty nine percent uh... in one-score games uh... which is third worst or second worst of active coaches his dentist alan was second but he's not an active coach anymore
By the way, Max Nixiryani is second pass behind only Kevin O'Connell. These are from Stat Hall in one score games. Pretty good. Great coach. Pretty good. But how many of those are backdoor one score games? I don't know. Where you've got a two score game and then you take your foot off the gas. Oh, for Nixiryani? Yeah, I'm just saying. Yeah, true. It's a good point. Got to think about it. You do have to think about it. Consider a thought.
Okay. Thought. And how did you process it? By the way, thank you to everyone who bet with us on the TD parlay. We hit one decisively. Decisive next week. When we do our show on Thursday, we have to be decisive.
shout out that a w all told me you guys need to be decisive when you don't when you're not decisive it's got a zero percent chance at jk dot he he was like an exclamation point with a second touchdown he didn't even want to score the first one they were in three places out on the field all right so i heard some people saying that jk dobbins should have gone down instead of scoring that last touchdown i say to that person you need a better understanding of the history of the los angeles charges yeah i'm okay like yes joe burrow had eighteen seconds left
There's a lot that can go wrong with the field goal in that minute. Yeah, I'll take a chance with that. Yeah. I'll take a chance with that for sure. Because especially, I mean, we know kicks get blocked. The Broncos last week. That happens. Yep. That happens.
Okay. I have a what it did. It happened last week and kicks get blocked kicks gets blocked. They do sometimes they get blocked the Broncos against the Chiefs. Yeah, uh, rollback question. R H O B A C K dot com. Uh, Qsips, polos hoodies, joggers, shorts, 20% off your purchase. Robac.com promo code take. Uh, do we want to do a quick who can win the Super Bowl recap?
Yeah. Bills. I think it's Bill's chief Steelers Ravens. Chargers. Yeah. It doesn't think the Chargers win the Super Bowl. And you know they can't. We were arguing about this in the studio when the Chargers were up and then Big Cat was like, save for the show, save for the show. Chargers.
proceeded to blow. They charge it. They charge it. And then he was like, I take it all back. But now I'm back. But but you know, I think in that that 30 minutes showed you everything that I was saying was correct in that. Yes, they're a good team. Yes, they have Harbaugh. Yeah, they have a good quarterback. Sure. They are not winning the bills. They're not beating the Chiefs. They're not being the Steelers. They're not beating the Ravens. They're not beating the Lions. They're probably not beating the Eagles.
They're not winning the Super Bowl. They will make the playoffs. They win a game in the playoffs. They will not win the Super Bowl. Still a good bet. If you're going to cash out, that's 40 to 1, 35 to 1. We talked about it at 45 to 1. They're down to 20 to 1. But if you don't cash out, it's a bad bet. But that was good eyes. But you have to cash out. But it was good eyes. It meant that part. It meant that part. Yeah. Kind of. We talked about it at 45 to 1. They're down to 20 to 1. Are you going to cash out?
I think it's put me in a spot now where I don't think I can. I want them to win the Super Bowl. I'm going to laugh at his face. If you're not going to cash out, then it's a bad bet. I have a 35 to one and a four. No, no, because it's a charge to win the Super Bowl. And then when they do, I'm going to laugh at your face. I think it's a good bet. What do you have to do if they win the Super Bowl? Eat a column? I don't know. I think you have to get a back tattoo of a lightning bolt or a cat.
I like it. I'll get a lightning bolt. That is like fun talking Ben Affleck. No, but I will get a back tattoo of a lightning bolt. It's a charge. How big this year depends how much they win the Super Bowl by. How big they get a point for every point. So how but what are we starting with one inch to win the Super Bowl? They have what that's it. If they win the Super Bowl by one, they I'll get a one inch charger or a blending bolt if they win by 20 20 inches 20 inches.
And now I need this. I think Hank, you should have to buy the Boltman costume. I need him to blow him out. OK, so Chargers are not in the could win the Super Bowl according to Hank. I would also agree. It's a good bet if you cash out, but they cannot win the match. Would you find it interesting that the two people who don't think the Chargers win the Super Bowl or the two people who already cashed out the Chargers future that we place as a podcast together from camaraderie?
Not me. That was because of responsible gambling. Are you saying that you don't encourage responsible gambling? I'm just saying that you guys both, if you guys had stayed, stayed the course as a podcast. I got two and you'd be thinking differently. I do. Yeah. I don't like to give away money. I like to actually have a chance to win it. Yes. Also, there's, there's just too many cash out for a loss. You could have stayed the course. JK Dobbins, two plus, huh? Yeah.
Yeah, cash out of that and bet the Bengals, whatever. Fuck you. All right. Well, I mean, I was just. And then in the NFC, I'm going to say the Eagles and Lions. Maybe the Cardinals. I don't know. No, I don't think so. I don't know. They could make a run. I could see them. I could see. I could still see the Vikings. No.
I could get serious Falcons. No. No. We were listening when we were talking about the Falcons. I can't rush the passer. We're getting to the real football time. Maybe the Packers. We're getting no. Jordan loves throws picks. Stinks he gets lucky. Okay. Let's do who's back of the week and wrap up the show. Good show, boys. Core's light.
