Week 1 Recap Includes a Sunday Night Classic!

00:00:05
Speaker 1: Welcome to the NFL Daily, where we're trying not to be overwhelmed in the best way possible by the Week one explosion of football.

00:00:13
Speaker 2: I'm Greg Rosenthal.

00:00:14
Speaker 1: Here in the Chris Westling podcast studio, joined by my friend Patrick Claiban, and from across the country in Cleveland, it is the man the Nick Shook. Yes, we we wait over two hundred days for football and then we get one game on Thursday, we get one game on Friday, and then suddenly there were just eight games happening at the same time in the early window. It almost it almost feels like too much. But it's not too much better, No.

00:00:40
Speaker 3: It's not too much.

00:00:41
Speaker 4: When you when you're when you're a shark, all you do is swim and eat and that's what we do. And Shook it was time to do both on Sunday today and I loved it.

00:00:49
Speaker 3: I didn't even neat caffeine this morning.

00:00:52
Speaker 5: Swim, eat, use your gills to process oxygen that cutter.

00:00:55
Speaker 6: Yeah, we did it all.

00:00:56
Speaker 1: And uh, I guess in this case to just monitor all the wrong assumptions you made throughout the offseason and definitely with your Week one pick. So this show, if you listen last year. It's our favorite one of the week. It's our big show, and it's gonna include Jordan Rodrieg every week she was over at the RAMS Game Show. She's gonna join us for the third segment of the show to talk Rams in more games then, but for now we're talking the biggest game of the day, maybe not the best game of the day, but the most decisive to Lambeau.

00:01:28
Speaker 7: Now, Love motions Jacobs to his left tight end.

00:01:31
Speaker 8: Tucker Craft left side of the line, hands the lonely chilling blitz off the left edge.

00:01:35
Speaker 7: Here's the snapped the Love throws right out of the ends. Touchdown, Dan Reid, Carter the Enzo.

00:01:41
Speaker 9: They beat Terry ont Arnold again and a Lambeau leap to the north end zone stands for Jayden Reid.

00:01:49
Speaker 7: It's sixteen to three Green Bay.

00:01:52
Speaker 1: That was Wayne Lara Vie on WRNW Man. It feels good to be back here on a Sunday evening hearing Larry Mccaarrn just screaming out for a touchdown.

00:02:04
Speaker 2: That's what we love.

00:02:05
Speaker 4: Full two seconds before Reid catches the ball, he's celebrating the touchdown.

00:02:09
Speaker 3: That's how locked in Jordan Love.

00:02:11
Speaker 1: Was and how locked in Larry was. But I think that was typical because early portions of this game there are wide open receivers schemed up, great job by Matt Lafleur, and just absolutely perfect passes by Jordan Love often on third down Shook where you kind of knew they were gonna win that play as the ball was in the air on that touchdown drive. They actually had three third down connections and it just was one of those games where it was so one sided on both sides of the ball early for the Lions to lose this game after a late scoring on garbage time Packers win going away, they were up twenty seven to six. I hate to say a statement win in Week one, but as a Week one game goes, we led with this one shook because it did feel like the most meaningful result we saw all day.

00:03:02
Speaker 5: Yeah, meaningful result between two teams that are expected to contend for the NFC North title. And it's also you know, you had a big question marks the Lions coming to the season. You lose both of your coordinators. What's your offense going to look like, what's your defense going to look like? Well, there's a bit of benefit in retaining your staff from year to year and getting off to a hot start, and the Packers did exactly that, throwing ten points on the board in the first quarter and kind of running away with it. So yeah, I mean, look, we're gonna look back at this two months from now and maybe not think about it that significantly, but today it makes a huge impact on how both teams are perceived after.

00:03:33
Speaker 3: Just one week.

00:03:33
Speaker 1: Well, it's it's a division game between the two favorites in the division, and now the Lions have a very important rematch where if you get swept in the division, that's a major problem. And we thought about leading with a better show Jets Steeler, I mean, a better game Jets Steelers their next. But ultimately, like we've been doing this a while, I mean I've been covering the NFL now over twenty years, the Michael Parsons trade is the biggest, craziest and I think most impactful trade I've ever seen of a player in his prime. And to look at what he did today, which to me was a perfect example of how Micah Parsons is more than just his numbers. They only used him situationally, Patrick and you know, in the box Squore, I was shocked. I think he only ends up with three or four pressures, depending on how you're measuring it.

00:04:24
Speaker 2: He does get a sack on Goff.

00:04:27
Speaker 1: Late in the game, and yet his first snap of the game, we're going to talk about omens throughout the show. Michael Parson's very first snap as a Packer. He beats Pina seul An all Pro to the inside, flushes out Jared Goff. When GoF moves off his spot, he struggles. That was the case all day, and that happened again and again and again where Micah Parsons either moved the play or he helped out a teammate. One of Devonte Wyatt's sacks in this game was directly a result of, you know, the protection going to Michael Parsons and him put the pile.

00:05:00
Speaker 4: Yeah, And Dan Campbell did everything he could to sell us up to the up to the game, including telling the broadcast you know, you know, we were more worried about Kenny Clark than this Michael Parsons.

00:05:10
Speaker 7: Well.

00:05:11
Speaker 4: I appreciate the effort from Dan, but even though you mentioned Greg not a lot of production, he still was second on the team in pressure percentage. Open things up because Rashan Gary had one and a half sacks. I would make the case that you could credit one of those to Michael Parsons getting through earlier. He rushed on the inside there, Davonte Wyatts sack, as you mentioned, Lucas van Ness got a half of a sack on a play where Michael Parsons also carved everything in and Parsons, being as explosive as he is, sped up the clock where if you're if you just look at the scoreboard. We talked about folks that just do the box score watching and you say, oh, Jared Goff was thirty one or thirty nine? I wonder, I wonder what was going on for the lines. The time was just not there today for golf to get back and get set up, and so that resulted in very little opportunity for Jamison Williams to get free deep and all of this. I think, Yeah, Michael Parsons had a significant impact on the game despite the fact he only played twenty nine snaps.

00:06:08
Speaker 3: Those are twenty nine very very valuable snaps.

00:06:10
Speaker 1: Okay, we've talked to Micah. Let's hear that sack call. I know the crowd who gave such a good pop when Parsons first got introduced was love.

00:06:20
Speaker 10: In this moment, goff takes the stockgun, snap rolls right out of the pocket, chacks from behind by Parsons.

00:06:26
Speaker 7: Yeah, stuck, Mike Parsons. What just tends the sack back.

00:06:31
Speaker 9: In the thirty one yard line and the Parsons project is underway in Green Bay.

00:06:38
Speaker 1: At that point, it's twenty seven to six and it's third and long.

00:06:42
Speaker 4: Has Larry Michael Parsons is so fast that Larry has become pre cognitive. He is making calls before they happen, He's celebrating things before they happen.

00:06:50
Speaker 3: He is now a future seat.

00:06:51
Speaker 1: Well, yeah, because that was like I was at the San Diego Safari Park the other day, and that is like seeing a wild animal hunting it's prey and like you already know how it's gonna end. Michah Parson's running after Jared goff Man. What a memorable debut for him, and to me, the key stat was just how they won at the line of scrimmage. Nine quarterback hits For the Packers defense, it's been a blah, you know, pass rush the last few years. Four sacks, whereas the Lions nick two quarterback hits, no sacks, and the Packers' offense didn't really run the ball very well. They didn't even need to do that much in the second half, although they had a couple of field goals. This was actually a game where they shortened the game with their passing attack and there weren't that many possessions. They were efficient and they protected Jordan Love really well. So ultimately, you know, there was a pregame conversation like what's more important getting Aiden Hutchinson back or Michael Parsons. Ultimately it was the multiplier effect and it felt like Hutchinson didn't have enough help around him to have a big impact in this game.

00:07:58
Speaker 5: Yeah, which has been one of my big concerns about the Lion just going into this entire season. But it's obviously only one week, so I'm not going to overblow that. But what I am going to say is how do you beat the Lions? What have we learned in the past. There's one of two ways to beat them. You force turnovers, or you limit their time with the football and don't allow them to get on a roll because once that offense gets in a roll, at least last.

00:08:15
Speaker 6: Year, it was really hard to keep up with it. So what do they do.

00:08:18
Speaker 5: They put points on the board early, they get ahead early, they limit the Lions' ability to get on a roll, and then you close it with a play like Parsons when you're already up multiple scores, which then kind of completes the whole trifecta of the build up, which was the trade and the big opponent Week one. He delivers and it makes for a just spectacular day and a great way to start the season at Lamba.

00:08:38
Speaker 1: I was so wrong about this game. I made this one of my picks with Cynthia just so off in terms of thinking that the Lions would be ready to go. I'm not that worried long term. I am worried that Terry and Arnold, their cornerback, got hurt groin injury. You never like to hear that. He's been banged up quite a bit. They're a little thin in the secondary. He was ruled out at one point. I am a little worried about their interior offensive line. They got hit in the backfield, according to the broadcast, more than any game in the Dan Campbell era. So there were concerning signs. But it is a long season. They have a lot of talent and a lot of intelligent people there. And oh, by the way, they have a rookie receiver who somehow managed to get into this show despite catching a touchdown with less than a minute ago in a twenty seven to six game. If you're watching on YouTube, we appreciate y'all, like subscribe, do the things.

00:09:33
Speaker 3: You know.

00:09:33
Speaker 1: We're showing highlights during these Sunday night games and you can watch what I believe was the best catch of the day by Isaac Taslaw. And I know it didn't matter, but I love ball enough Patrick that you can appreciate incredible individual achievements even if it didn't matter. Affect two to one and lost this game. This was the most ridiculous catch I've ever seen.

00:09:55
Speaker 4: It matters, Greg, It matters because this is why we watch football, to see.

00:09:58
Speaker 3: Players make plays like this.

00:10:00
Speaker 4: Initially, the stripes say it was incomplete, but I'm on Ross Saint Brown Lobbies and the call eventually goes to review and we see that Tuslaw's back foot somehow comes in his right hand is fully out of bounds. In fact, the top half of his body's out of bounds, and he makes this catch like parallel to the group. Just go ahead, whatever whatever award we can give Isaac to Slat, let's give it to give.

00:10:23
Speaker 1: Them the ball to I mean, are we sure like Odell's catch is that much better than that?

00:10:27
Speaker 3: Well?

00:10:28
Speaker 1: To have to get that, okay, really, to get the toe tap after the full extension h just absolutely outrageous. And yeah, Jared Goff, the numbers looked okay, but I drilled down. You know, he's not beaten the play action merchant. You know, allegations nine for ten ninety yards when it was play action only four point sixty five yards per attempt when he was kind of in clear passing situations. The Packers got after it, so did both offenses in MetLife stating, which is the most surprised thing, I might say, all day.

00:11:01
Speaker 11: Ball at the thirty seven yard line, twenty five seconds remain here for the Jets. Fields gets a snap back to pass looking steps up in the pocket, hatch and run, throws to his left and.

00:11:11
Speaker 8: The ball is dis launched.

00:11:13
Speaker 11: Jallon Ramsey, Wallop, Skirrett Wilson. It is incomplete and Ramsey makes the play that seals a victory for the Pittsburgh Steelers.

00:11:24
Speaker 9: Wooo, somebody get the license plate of that train.

00:11:31
Speaker 7: It was a j train coming straight down the tracks.

00:11:35
Speaker 1: Ah. Great job there by Max Starks and Rob King on the play by play called w d V yes. Jalen Ramsey one of many offseason pickups in this game that had a huge impact, breaking up a pass by Justin Fields with the Jets trying to drive in a back in forth game thirty four to thirty two.

00:12:00
Speaker 2: Who the Steelers.

00:12:01
Speaker 1: Win it Patrick Justin Fields looked like he had a chance to scramble yeah and pick up that first down. It's tough to knock him on a day where ultimately both offenses did much better than we ever could have expected.

00:12:17
Speaker 3: And it shows just.

00:12:18
Speaker 4: How much things can change and how much one particular circumstance, because I think back to the opener for the Jets and Xavier Gibson has the walk off return for a touchdown and you fast forward a couple of seasons and it's a fumble that's ultimately what puts the Steelers in position to get the go ahead score because they had no opportunity to stop Justin Fields in this offense the entire game essentially until that very last play, where I would make the case the sidelines determine that because Justin Fields had a chance to run it. But Jalen Ramsey is basically on the Steelers sideline, so all he sees over there is a bunch of people in Steelers jerseys and he sees a wide open Garrett Wilson. He ends up getting him blasted by Jalen rams And what's the play that seals the deal? But Breece Hall averages five point six yards per carry in this game. I think it was a real factor that you've got a quarterback that's a threat to run the ball, and Justin Fields was today he had forty eight yards on the ground and so significant difference and now a fully healthy Breeze Hall. But the connection with Garrett Wilson was there. They were effective all up until that very last moment. In a game where we've celebrated both of these defenses and their potential, they did essentially nothing today.

00:13:28
Speaker 1: Right Mike Toblin said they were going to be historic, And you mentioned the fumble, So that was a key sequence, if not the key sequence in the game. That the Steelers are playing catch up. They score a touchdown, there's a fumble on the kickoff by Kenny Gainwell, right, didn't he.

00:13:45
Speaker 3: Kenny Gamewell for not only did he recovers.

00:13:48
Speaker 1: It, and Ben's Goronick, you know, starts off the scoring here in terms of the first touchdown scorer in this game. While you know Gainwell is surprising getting most of the snaps early, it ended up being more Jalen Warren. But in Aaron Rodgers is defense if you're comparing him and Justin Fields. He ends up with four touchdowns in this game, very efficient over eight yards per attempt, two hundred and forty four yards, and they made that fumble count just a few seconds later on a throw to Calvin Austin.

00:14:14
Speaker 8: Rogers under center, play action pass rolling to his right, fires off the.

00:14:18
Speaker 11: Back foot Tovin Austin touchdown Pittsburgh Steelers.

00:14:22
Speaker 7: The play action pass. He gets Austin in the right portion of the end zone for the touchdown pass. Fourth of the day for Aaron Rodgers.

00:14:32
Speaker 1: We're just going highlights heavy here, and I just thought that was important because you're right, ultimately, the Jets are going to really kick themselves for losing this game. Patrick had the closest sides on it, so I'm focusing on how he was looking at this game, they end up with one hundred and twenty more yards overall, they run for one hundred and eighty two yards. But the Jets still got more done. I mean the Steelers got more done. I thought offensively, like, what did they do well other then employ Chris Boswell.

00:15:02
Speaker 4: Well, yeah, I ploring Chris Boswell was the key there is he hits a career long that's ultimately the game winner there. But on third down Aaron Rodgers was five of seven. There were a couple of situations where the Steelers would get backed up where Quinn Williams would get a sack, they get pressure, they get Johnson back, he's healthy, and the Steelers kept making plays. And to his credit, the Arthur Smith Aaron Rodgers experiment looked good so far. There was one of those key Arthur Smith forcing the ball to John news Smith in the red zone situations that worked on a push pass where the tight ends coming in motion and he goes through. It was everything working as well as dk Metcalf getting a lot of run after catch in this game, including a couple of very big plays where you've just wondered, and that was my concern, like, how is all of this going to work because we hadn't seen it. Either the Jets defense is bad or the Steelers offense is starting out really hot.

00:15:54
Speaker 1: Yeah, Jonnie Smith had six targets and only fifteen yards five catches, but he did have a touchdown DK you mentioned it. There wasn't a lot of yak when he was with the Seahawks, and he ends up with four for eighty three. Aaron Rodgers was quick to point out with CBS how everyone you know said him and Arthur Smith weren't gonna get along, and they're getting along just fine. And he was quick to also point out that this game had a little extra before the game. Oh no, it doesn't matter at all. After the game, we spoke.

00:16:23
Speaker 12: About the meeting with Aaron Glenn on McAfee a few months ago. Beating him is your significance in that sense. He basically told you to your face that he didn't think you were right for that team. Yes, that's what he did, So there's significance in beating him for you.

00:16:40
Speaker 13: I was happy to beat everybody associated with the Jets.

00:16:45
Speaker 2: Not too bad. I mean they were like almost go to him into that. You got to enjoy it. He came back, he got it done. Shook. Should I feel.

00:16:54
Speaker 1: Better or worse about my Jets to the playoffs prediction that I forgot I even made on NFL dot com.

00:17:02
Speaker 5: I think you should feel good about it because this is an offensive looked a lot better than I anticipated then to look and I thought they were really creative with their play calling. They used their weapons really well, they used justin Field's ability to run really well.

00:17:12
Speaker 6: They put up a ton of points.

00:17:13
Speaker 5: It's just that things went bad for them at the worst possible time, and that's how you lose a close game. But this is a way more encouraging debut for this team under Aaron Glenn than I anticipated, and that alone should inspire a lot of confidence in them. And I'm also glad that we played that Rogers touchdown past to Calvin Austin, by the way, because that's classic Rogers and I don't think we saw a lot of that over the last couple of years. That off the one foot flake of the wrist move into is right. I saw that throw and I was like, oh, buddy, oh buddy, he's gonna do that this season with Arthur Smith, this coordinator. Oh and look at him, he's a little fist pump too. If you're watching this on YouTube, that's classic Aaron Rodgers right there. People might want to watch out.

00:17:51
Speaker 1: Yeah, I got the take from Steelers super fan my friend Anthony Jesslnick afterwards.

00:17:57
Speaker 2: God, what an effing game.

00:17:58
Speaker 7: All.

00:17:59
Speaker 1: I'm all in Super Bowl, the Steelers, the Steelers fans are feeling great. And since you spent about forty five minutes Patrick talking in the newsroom and researching Chris Boswell for your take, I have to give you the floor. He had a sixty yarder after Aaron Riders couldn't get them any closer with a couple with about a minute to go, he had a sixty yarder to take the lead.

00:18:25
Speaker 4: Yeah, a sixty yarder where the Jets were trailing the entire game. His career long was fifty nine. And I thought about it, and it's been true for a while. Chris Boswell is the kicker that everybody talked about justin Tuckerby and I went back. I went back to try to find a game the Pittsburgh Steelers have lost by three or fewer points where Chris Boswell missed a kick. I'm in twenty eighteen. Greg was goading me the whole top. I still haven't found it.

00:18:51
Speaker 1: No, I thought, like you, I've got a lot of games to talk about. You're just going through game logs for Chris Boswell back to twenty eight yells.

00:18:56
Speaker 3: Because you're like, you might have to defend that take. Not been rooting for this guy.

00:19:01
Speaker 4: I have rooted for the other teams in the division, significally the one that plays for Purple. And I feel like there has been like no situation where I've wanted Chris Boswell to miss a kick.

00:19:09
Speaker 3: He's always put that thing. He put it almost in the net from sixty today.

00:19:13
Speaker 1: You big a fantastic point who has been more reliable in big situations because Tucker, I think statistically and just eye test, has been better, maybe the best kicker of all time until it all went sideways. And it's great that he's out of league considering what he did, but just talking about his kicking, but Boswell's hit more big kicks. It just feels like they're always in these sort of games. And Mike Tomlin enjoys the hell out of having a guy like that.

00:19:41
Speaker 10: Just acknowledging that NFL football is tough. There's gonna be ebb and flow, You're gonna be up against it. You're gonna be tested individually and collectively, and how you respond to that oftentimes defines you. And I can't say enough about Boz and our kicker is a serial killer man.

00:19:59
Speaker 7: He's he got a low pols rate.

00:20:01
Speaker 10: He can't wait for deliver.

00:20:04
Speaker 2: When you get the natural laugh there from Shook. You know, it's a great quote.

00:20:08
Speaker 1: Let's go to a game that I hope Shook can laugh about, you know through the pain.

00:20:14
Speaker 4: Oh yeah, forty three yard line, flaccol looking to throw his pass.

00:20:19
Speaker 14: It is intercepted, it went off the finger tips of till then DJ Turner comes up with a football him that his coffin nails.

00:20:30
Speaker 15: Bam bam bam about Turner Division game, a matchup that's been tough for Joe Burrow and Zach Taylor over the years.

00:20:42
Speaker 1: That Kevin Stefanski Browns did it again in terms of out playing the Cincinnati Bengals for sixty minutes, but it's all for not They lose seventeen to sixteen. That was Dan Horde Dave Lapham on w c KY late in the second one for Joe Flacco, just part of a series of disappointing moments Shook in a game that the Browns out gained Cincinnati three twenty seven to one forty one. What do you think was the most important reason that they couldn't get it done?

00:21:18
Speaker 6: I have a trifectave takes.

00:21:19
Speaker 5: Okay, I'm gonna start with your kicker, because you cut Dustin Hopkins to bring in this rookie thinking that he would be the guy that would miss pats, and then he misses a game tying pat, and then he misses a field goal that would have put you ahead by at least two, and if you'd made the pat, would have put you ahead by three, and instead you get no points out of an opportunity for four points.

00:21:37
Speaker 6: I also have.

00:21:37
Speaker 5: Another take in this, which is that we should still have earned and unearned interceptions because both of Joe Flacco's interceptions hit his receivers in the hands. And yet that is what Cleveland Brown's football has been for a long time, and certainly was on Sunday. You know, I'm fielding texts from emotional Browns fans after the fact for hours I'm watching games. My phone keeps lighting up.

00:21:55
Speaker 6: I'm ignoring it. I take a moment to scroll through it and see.

00:21:58
Speaker 5: They are so deep in there feelings over so many things, and then you go look at the stats, and my response is the same to all of them. The Browns statistically outperformed them in every category, and this is not a good football team. And the reason they're not a good football team is because they outperformed them statistically in every category and put sixteen points on the board and lost a game like that. They lost over ninety three percent of win probability in three plays. Two of them were the interceptions, the other one was the missed field goal. Bad teams don't take care of the details. That's the Cleveland Browns. And the last point in my trifecta, the Bengals going to be hooting and hollering about how good they feel about their defense, and those were two very athletic, acrobatic interceptions that give them credit for that.

00:22:37
Speaker 6: But you let the Cleveland.

00:22:38
Speaker 5: Browns, led by Joe Flacco, rack up three hundred and twenty seven yards. Dylan Sampson his first NFL game, went for almost one hundred scrimmage yards. Don't puff your chests out that much, because the team that can actually take care of the details is gonna make you pay in future weeks.

00:22:51
Speaker 1: Yeah, I was getting texts from our friend Nick Wesseling that was just the Bengals defense is the same. The Bengals secondary cannot tackle, so a lot of complaining, but ultimately they at least bowed up and forced field goal attempts sometimes and unfortunately some missed field goal attempts.

00:23:07
Speaker 4: Yeah, the missed field goal attempts. The missed extra point loomed pretty large as well. On top of that. But going back to what Shook was pointing out with this Bengals defense, Joe Flacco, Joe Flacco on the run today was three or five for forty seven yards.

00:23:22
Speaker 3: There there were several.

00:23:24
Speaker 4: Plays where Joe Flacco is glacially moving away from Bengals pass rushers and they couldn't get to him, making moves in the pocket, making great throws. I with Shook, the Browns absolutely sold a very very solid Joe Flacco game where they had any number of chances to be successful here and a great game from the defense as well. And this whole like, oh, the Bengals are playing in the preseason, they're going to try extra hard. You have to go back to October of twenty fourteen for a game where the Cincinnati Bengals had fewer total offense yardedge like that twenty fourteen it.

00:23:57
Speaker 3: Was Andy Dalton.

00:23:58
Speaker 2: Wait, really, Bulson was the e receiver.

00:24:00
Speaker 3: It was a long time ago.

00:24:03
Speaker 4: And the second worst was a couple of years ago in twenty twenty three against this Brown's team, where they had one more yard than they had today.

00:24:11
Speaker 1: And that was in a rainstorm, and that was week one and Burrow was coming off an injury.

00:24:14
Speaker 2: I remember that well.

00:24:15
Speaker 1: It is funny because it's not like we thought they were gonna try extra hard early. They were just trying to change their process. Tackle more in training camp, approach it a different way, play more in the preseason. And then Chook, tell me what went on when the Bengals were on offense, because I got admit, I didn't have eyes on this one too often. And when I looked afterwards and saw that the Bengals had under one hundred yards net passing today, Joe Burrow ends up with one thirteen. Chase Brown goes twenty one for forty three. On the ground, Jamar Chase has two catches in five targets for twenty six yards. Like man, this Brown's defense must have balled out, did they?

00:24:55
Speaker 3: Yeah?

00:24:55
Speaker 6: They did. They didn't in the first quarter and a half.

00:24:58
Speaker 5: So this game starts with a very methodical, very long Bengals scoring drive, and then the Browns respawned with a similar drive that's actually longer, and I'm thinking, God, we're gonna end up with four total possessions for each team by the time this game's over.

00:25:10
Speaker 6: Just the pace of the way that the game was going.

00:25:12
Speaker 5: Eventually, though, in the second half, the Browns defense came together and completely denied anything that the Bengals wanted to do through the air. For the most part, Greg Newson had a couple of great pass breakups on Jamar Chase after getting flaged for a pass interference in the first half. They just got all together, and then they got after Joe Burrow. Miles Garrett had two sacks. They had this sequence in the fourth quarter where they really needed to stop. They were down by a point and three plays in a row. Joe Burrow is just under complete duress. Miles Garrett gets a couple of sacks. They have a combination of players sackim and he barely avoids the safety, which by the way, would have changed the outcome of.

00:25:42
Speaker 6: The game potentially.

00:25:44
Speaker 5: So the defense was fantastic and that points again to the fact that they wasted this opportunity. So, you know, the theory going into the season for the Browns was we know their offense is not gonna be very good.

00:25:52
Speaker 6: They're gonna have to lean their defense. Their defense passed every test today.

00:25:55
Speaker 5: I don't know how that's gonna be on a week by week basis because they seem to have the Bengals number. But yeah, that high powered Engles offense that we see often in other places once again did not show up in Cleveland.

00:26:04
Speaker 1: They still won, though, and this season is going to be about development, and you know, Schweesssinger ends up having a nice game with a quarterback hit, a tackle for loss, like eight tackles.

00:26:13
Speaker 2: Harold Fannon, who in theory.

00:26:15
Speaker 1: Is the backup to David n Joku, catches seven passes for sixty three yards, like he is such an interesting player. You mentioned Dylan Samson, so you're getting production out of the rookies. You also got good news that quinch On Jenkins is expected to be back with the team this week. He has signed his contract. At this point, we're not expecting any league punishment as far as we know, and I think there's a loose expectation he will be back with the team. We'll handle all these little news items that have popped up. This happens a lot before a week one, like Jamison Williams got a contract, Zidaria.

00:26:50
Speaker 2: Smith is on the Eagles.

00:26:51
Speaker 1: Now, like, we'll hit all that in another show, probably Monday Night with you shuk. You're working hard all season. Hopefully this augurs well for an improved brown season. But ultimately, if you're a Bengals fan, yeah, it doesn't feel great, but you were losing games like this a year ago, and it's very important to get that win, and it's heartbreaking for the Browns to not because their schedule coming up is absolutely brutal. Let's take a break. We are just getting started on the very first recap show of the season. Jordan's Waiting, then the Wings. One more segment to go.

00:27:35
Speaker 13: Who's Phil goldtip will be from forty four yards bar side of hash. He is a right footed ticker, a little different angle perhaps the holder Bradley pinion, the snapple good one. The spot is down, the kicker is airborne and it is Paul. My goodness, it's no good, Oh god, he missed it. Why to the right.

00:27:55
Speaker 2: How the Tampa Bay Buccaneers will prevail in Atlanta.

00:27:58
Speaker 7: Remember two seconds earlier in the game, You.

00:28:01
Speaker 2: Remember he hit the up right, up right and it went in.

00:28:05
Speaker 16: Well, it was far enough back that it missed outside to the right.

00:28:09
Speaker 7: He pushed it.

00:28:10
Speaker 13: Tampa Bay Buccaneers twenty three, two seconds left, we lead three.

00:28:16
Speaker 1: That was young way Coop finding a new and painful way for the Falcons to lose a game twenty three to twenty. Buccaneers on top. Get the road win, Get revenge on those Kirk Cousins Falcons from a year ago who swept him.

00:28:36
Speaker 2: So much went on.

00:28:38
Speaker 1: In the fourth quarter of this game one of the many reasons shook why I always say the NFC South is underrated, Like maybe they're not gonna win the Super Bowl. Every year though the Buccaneers pop up. But man, there's just something about these division games that always end up awesome. And this was sneaky one of the best games, if not the best game.

00:28:56
Speaker 2: Of the day. Like how did it all happen?

00:28:59
Speaker 1: Uh?

00:28:59
Speaker 6: Well, it's a bit of a war of attrition.

00:29:02
Speaker 5: Early, the Buccaneers offense, under a new offensive coordinator again didn't exactly answer all the questions that, oh, could they just transition and be the same explosive offense they were before.

00:29:10
Speaker 6: And no, granted, they don't have Chris.

00:29:11
Speaker 5: Gobin out there, and I give them that, and they don't have Jalen mc millan out there either. They have Mike Evans and they have a mecha Abuka who stepped up in a big way to catch a touchdown pass. But it was a lot of the Buccaneers are near midfield, the Buccaneers drive has stalled, and they just kind of repeated it. Credit goes to the Falcons defense. They got a lot more pressure than we saw from them for most of last year. But that was It was just kind of a back and forth game like that. And then the Buccaneers take the lead, and then the Falcons move into scoring range and then it seems like they spend an hour in.

00:29:37
Speaker 6: A goal to go situation. I just counted the plays.

00:29:39
Speaker 5: I think it was a total of one, two, three, four, five, six, seven eight plays from in gol to go before they finally scored. It involved a replay review that was basically inconclusive and involved Michael Pennock scrambling and reaching out and getting across the goal line. For a touchdown. Everything finally going the Falcons way. They've finally broken through. And then that is what Baker Mayfield needed to wake up the entire offense to go right down the field and hit who else but a Mecca a Buka again for a touchdown pass. So it was very weak one, it was very NFC South, and it was a reminder that the Falcons, for as much as they feel like they've improved in certain areas, they're still the little brother to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.

00:30:18
Speaker 1: Yes, let's put a disclaimer on all these games. There were so many where I thought, Man, the last twenty twenty five minutes of the game was just so sloppy. You could tell everyone is just tired, and so sometimes it's dangerous to draw big conclusions. And yet Mecca Agbuka looking amazing and catching big time touchdowns.

00:30:37
Speaker 2: I think that's a thing that's here to stay.

00:30:39
Speaker 13: Twenty five yard line, empty backfield. Baker Mayfield, He's got Bucky yover go to slot receiver to his left, takes a belt high snap, looks, looks, thows the ball toward the end zone at the receiver.

00:30:49
Speaker 7: It's a hot ball touchdown.

00:30:51
Speaker 9: Tampa Bay up Knaka up Buka Well, the defender all over him.

00:30:55
Speaker 7: Pete bakes the grab of the end zone. The Bucks take the lead.

00:30:59
Speaker 1: A game Patrick where you know Bucky Irving's held to two point six yards per carry. The Buccaneers get out gained pretty significantly. They're under three hundred yards. It did not look like the offense from a year ago. You thought Baker maybe didn't like look his best.

00:31:12
Speaker 4: Well, no, early, especially early it was, as you've always pointed out, Baker Mayfield can be a little bit streaky. The Falcons defense did cause some problems. The ground game wasn't going. In fact, anything that Baker Mayfield where Michael Pennock Junior did today was with it during extended period's zero run game, especially on behalf of the Falcons where Tyler Algier and Bijon both had twenty four yards on the ground. They were close to having Michael Pennock Junior be the leading rusher in this game. In that sequence where the Chuck was referencing, where it was two scrambles from Michael Pennock Junor that almost eclipsed the entire run total of the Atlanta Falcons today. Vitavea was a huge factor in this game. So I wouldn't you know, sell all your Falcons run game shares. But the Bucks continue to be explosive and the risk taking and playmaking of Baker Mayfield gives them that puncher's chance, and we saw it today and Buka is gonna change a whole lot in that because these were no doubters. He looks strong at the catch point, just explosive. I don't know who tapped him as the safe pick, as the guy who's right. He's just he's workedmen like no, this kind is explosive. Like they undersold Abuka coming out of Ohio State, which is a crime to me.

00:32:27
Speaker 2: It's crazy.

00:32:28
Speaker 1: He yeah, he had a thirty yard touchdown catch that and then you heard the twenty five yard touchdown catch that was longer than any of the Falcons wide receivers had on any of the plays, like fifteen targets for Drake London shook.

00:32:41
Speaker 2: What did you see?

00:32:42
Speaker 1: Because you know, John Robinson gets that fifty yard you know, catch and run on a reception, ends up with one hundred yards as a receiver. So his fantasy owners are happy early and you think, oh man, they're gonna they're gonna be rolling. I mean, Pennis had at a great that highlight touchdown that he had, But what did you see out of this Falcons team, especially offensively that didn't quite get it done.

00:33:03
Speaker 5: It was a disjointed offense and they made some strange decisions situationally when it came to play calling, even that goal to go situation they had, I think it was bijon try to go wide from like the one, as if they were going to catch him by surprise.

00:33:15
Speaker 6: It did not work.

00:33:17
Speaker 5: It felt like, you know, this is not a new staff that that does or doesn't understand their personnel.

00:33:22
Speaker 6: They know what they have.

00:33:23
Speaker 5: It just felt like a team that Pennix was under drest a decent amount.

00:33:26
Speaker 6: He was out of structure a lot. He was trying to make plays.

00:33:29
Speaker 5: He was throwing balls that weren't necessarily on the right shoulder in certain situations. It just felt like a week one offense for this team. And you know, fortunately for them, their defense played so well that it kept them in the game. But it took them god, I mean, other than that big play early, it took them most of the game to figure out how to get the ball into scoring position again. And ultimately, you know, young like who his kick you know, takes off the right side and it results in a defeat.

00:33:52
Speaker 1: And shout out to Baker Bayfield too, like even in a game if he doesn't start well, like he's earning that reputation where if you need to touchdown and late in the game, he goes and he gets it. And I know we're not supposed to box score, you know, scout or whatever, but I went and I did check the pressures in this game just to kind of, you know, see how this new Fangalco scouter, you know, this new fangled Falcons pass rush and we got like four from Rooke Roro and uh, which I think I said correctly for the first time in my life. And then you know they were blitzing Devon Diablo quite a bit. Who got in there. James Pierce did have four pressures, Jalen Walker didn't have any on his thirteen pass rushers. But the thing that stuck out to me was by far the leader in pressures for the game with Asan Reddick of the Buccaneers was seven and led the game also with three quick pressure So that signing is already starting to pay off. And man, the Buccaneers needed a player like that close division game. There, we got another fun division one, this time in the late window out west and.

00:34:53
Speaker 17: It's second down and five a's the forty nine ers nine again shotgun again.

00:34:57
Speaker 3: Darnald looks Donald.

00:34:58
Speaker 2: The book came out and both four on it.

00:35:00
Speaker 7: Was that a pass or is it a football? Might have been an empty hand? I pay? The ruling is forty nine Ers football. Bosa time?

00:35:08
Speaker 10: What did we say?

00:35:09
Speaker 7: Closa time? Holy smokes?

00:35:13
Speaker 9: What a play by Nick Blosa.

00:35:16
Speaker 1: Nick Bosa pushes the newly minted uh million dollar man Abe Lucas, Yes, the right tackle of the Seahawks, who was given a big long term contract over the weekend, ultimately pushed back into Sam Darnold, who never gets that playoff. They were in the red zone with a chance to score a game winning touchdown. Instead it's the forty nine ers who get the win. Seventeen to thirteen. Patrick, you were living and dying by a kind of wild back and forth performance here by Brock Perdy in this forty nine Ers team.

00:35:53
Speaker 4: Yeah, things start off and you're thinking, well, the forty nine ers get Christian McCaffrey.

00:35:57
Speaker 3: There was the calf scare on Friday.

00:35:58
Speaker 4: He wound up getting a lot of act thirty one touches in this game, twenty two carries nine catches, and they would need it because after a five yarder to George Kittle in the first half, he comes up limping. He would leave the game with a hamstring injury. Later Juwan Jennings would leave the game with the shoulder injury. So it was pretty much exclusively Ricky Piersoll and CMC in the past game, and that would ultimately be enough because Robert Sala's defense made a ton of plays where the Seahawks would get chunk plays and then nothing would happen. There was They even attempted to have JSN throw a lateral late in the game to try to get something going into the boom and bust nature of it was kind of emblematic in a final drive after Brock Perdy has a miracle touchdown to Jake Tungus, who I had to Google trying to figure out who this guy is.

00:36:45
Speaker 2: He had no career catches going into today.

00:36:48
Speaker 4: And it makes a great play, but the Seahawks come right back. There's a huge play from Darnold to JSN down the sideline. They're inside the five, and then Bosa makes the play that ultimately seals the deal for the forty nine ers in a game that could have been even more in their favor.

00:37:03
Speaker 3: But Jake Moody got a little wiggly.

00:37:04
Speaker 4: Kicking the ball, oh man, but he hit the ones that they ultimately needed once he'd missed them, and the forty.

00:37:11
Speaker 1: And by ones you're including like an extra point. Let's not go too crazy here, it counts. He hit it's one thirty two yard field goal and missed two other short ones.

00:37:20
Speaker 2: One was blocked, but it looked like it was a low kick.

00:37:23
Speaker 1: You mentioned the ton just catch, which was one of the moments I believe of the entire day, just to set the scene. Yeah, that the Seahawks take a thirteen to ten lead with under four minutes remaining. I thought Greg Olsen was so good. It's why he's the best in the business. Explaining that situation. It's a tie game, it's a short yarded situation. It's fourth and one, and they decide to take the field goal, you know, to take the lead, and he really thought they should strongly consider going for it there because the clock is so important at that stage, you know, about three half minutes to go in the game and taking a three point lead there is probably just not gonna be enough, Like it's gonna encourage the opponent almost to go for seven. That's what exactly what happens, and they end up chasing those points that they get with the Ton just catch.

00:38:17
Speaker 2: Let's listen to it.

00:38:19
Speaker 17: One forty four to go, fourth quarter, shotgun Purty looking looking, pump from behind. Now he rolls out, still has time, still looking now, he rolls to his right, pursued and he throws at it.

00:38:31
Speaker 3: Just got it and take the lead.

00:38:37
Speaker 17: Ton just plucked that out of dangerous way for his first career touchdown.

00:38:42
Speaker 7: Lloyd Dudy.

00:38:43
Speaker 1: Ever, that was Guy Haberman and Tim Ryan on ksfo Purty through two interceptions, which you know he throws a very catchable ball, so it's like a get the very catchable ball for both teams for real. It's just like floating there and it's real nice because they were incredible plays. Julian Love that was a great interception. The Ernest Jones. That was a great interception. If you guys go back, if you're looking for a game pass game, I think this is high on the list because I just thought there was a lot of really exciting individual plays. The block kick from Julian Love was fantastic, Like, just a lot of good moments, and it was a lot on the defensive side shook. But what do you take from the fact that Christian McCaffrey, after you know, hearing that he's all, you know, banged up all week, winds up with thirty one touches in over one hundred and forty yards in this game and had to be a even bigger factor than he normally would have. I think because of the injuries around him.

00:39:42
Speaker 5: Yeah, I mean, we knew that was going to be the case because of all the injuries they've dealt with, and then the injuries that they dealt with during the game. Like that's been the story of the Niners for years and especially during this preseason.

00:39:51
Speaker 6: But what do I think about it?

00:39:52
Speaker 5: I think that I got completely played by the forty nine ers over the span of two days because I'm sitting here thinking, oh God, Christian McCaffrey's on the injury report with the CAF issue, so it's deja vu from last year, and then start to write it up on Friday, and then McCaffrey takes the podium as I'm about done, and he's like, no, it's just precautionary.

00:40:07
Speaker 6: I know I've been there before. I just wanted to take myself out. Oh.

00:40:10
Speaker 5: By the way, I'm going to go touch the ball thirty one times on Sunday and exit.

00:40:13
Speaker 6: Completely healthy and we're going to win the football game.

00:40:15
Speaker 5: But that is I think that's forty nine Ers football in twenty twenty five in a nutshell because for as great as of a play that was made by Brock Purty in the closing moments, you know, in a key situation there, he also you know, you talk about the Julian Lovin exception being a fantastic play.

00:40:28
Speaker 6: As he threw the ball, I'm wondering, why are you throwing that?

00:40:30
Speaker 5: And on that touchdown pass to Tan, just as the ball's in the air, I'm thinking, why are you throwing that?

00:40:36
Speaker 6: That's gonna get picked?

00:40:37
Speaker 5: And then it somehow doesn't get picked. Great description on the call plucked it out of the air. By the way, Riek Woolan is going to want to burn the tape from this game and especially that last drive because he misplayed a couple of balls.

00:40:46
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, it's a positive.

00:40:48
Speaker 4: He did save a touchdown that was destined for Ricky pearsall got it and used that full six' three wingspan to get to that. One somehow the ball skills available on that play just went away BECAUSE i THINK i think rick couldn't See tanjas at, all or he's, like this Is Jake, Tanjas he's not gonna catch this. Ball and Ultimately Jake tanjas game saves the. Day he was hot today he's almost as hot as the microphones in the.

00:41:12
Speaker 1: BOOTH i, LOVE i, MEAN i love it when the right team gets. Rewarded AND i was watching this game just thinking the whole, time, like how are The seahawks winning this? Game how are they tied in this? Game they were pretty thoroughly. Outplayed you do got to worry about the preseasons. SOMETIMES i, MEAN i know we learned this every, time but we were so excited about how The seahawks run game. Looked Kenneth walker runs for two yards per carry in this. Game charbonay was a little better twelve for forty, seven AND i do think you have to be worried about the depth of the options That darnold's throwing to one hundred and twenty four yards For smith And jigba and the next closest receiver Is Cooper cup who had fifteen yards and also stumbled and dropped a third down to kill a drive in the second you, know Half arroyo gets seven, yards like that's it for their. Offense AND i don't know if it's that Many seahawks fans out, there but my Friend, jackson who Hosts Cigar thoughts out, there had the. TWEET i, think, like really glad that we saved five million dollars at. QUARTERBACK i don't, know it seems a little. EARLY i don't know even know was it even that bad At donald? GAME i don't think it was that.

00:42:24
Speaker 3: BAD i don't think it was that bad of A donald.

00:42:27
Speaker 4: Game, again he had an. Opportunity they turned it over in the red. Zone weight we Saw gino do that plenty of. TIMES i do think the scoreboard you would feel a little bit more comfortable With gino that they would have had the points necessary to win this.

00:42:40
Speaker 3: GAME i think that's fair to.

00:42:41
Speaker 1: Say what a, Transition because it is time for The Sunday drive presented By. Toyota let's go, places and one of those places Is Jillette.

00:42:53
Speaker 7: Stadium bower's motions.

00:42:54
Speaker 17: Like to less snap Handoff chanty trying to pick his way.

00:42:57
Speaker 7: Forward he's. Porst he gets down the pile toughs.

00:43:02
Speaker 9: Ask gent's first career store had The raiders.

00:43:06
Speaker 18: Capitalize on the, pick they go down for, six take a thirteen to ten.

00:43:11
Speaker 7: Lead of the.

00:43:11
Speaker 1: Third that Was Jason horowitz on k R. Lv DID i Put Geno smith And Sam darnold in the rundown back to back on?

00:43:24
Speaker 2: PURPOSE i did. Not sometimes these magical FOOTBALL i know you don't believe, me BUT i.

00:43:31
Speaker 3: Didn't any games had a.

00:43:33
Speaker 1: CHANCE i lost so many picks today the football guys were trying to repay me for just enjoying the. Day Gino smith sets a, record if you can call it, that for the most yards in a game by a Debut raiders quarterback up and down the, field three hundred and sixty two yards in a twenty to thirteen victory over The New England. Patriots he was clearly the best quarterback on the. FIELD i think they were the best coach, team. Certainly The raiders AND i talked about omens a little. Earlier i'm big into first. Plays i'm big into. Omens we talked about The parsons. One we had a couple omens Here omen number. One first play from, Scrimmage gino To Brock, bowers just wide open down the.

00:44:24
Speaker 2: Field bowers people were, Worried, oh they're.

00:44:26
Speaker 1: Going to take him off the field a little bit more like they're using you, know they're not sure about his. Blocking, yeah five, catches one hundred and three, yards eight, targets dominated the snap share as.

00:44:34
Speaker 2: Well he is that dude a one of.

00:44:37
Speaker 1: One that first drive after The bowers, Catch Trey, tucker WHO i thought had some really good. ROUTES i know he only went two for fifty, four but there were about four different routes in this game WHERE i just thought he looked really. Great he ends up with a twenty six yard touchdown catch on that drive to cap. It it was a great way for them to. Start it made me feel Like Chip kelly was. Back they definitely had a portion basically after that drive till the third quarter where they got, quiet but they figured some things out and it really does feel like an offense WHERE i thought their offensive line did a good enough job pass protecting For Gino smith that they have enough right now even Without Amari cooper who's.

00:45:15
Speaker 2: Retired, yeah, really.

00:45:16
Speaker 4: The Big mark the only mark on the game For gino was just a weird decision to force the ball to Brock bowers with four people on him that ultimately got picked, off And Ashton genty really didn't get a lot going.

00:45:27
Speaker 3: On the only averaged two yards of. Carry he had a.

00:45:29
Speaker 4: Touchdown they missed his celebration because the camera cut To Chip kelly for some, reason because we never saw Enough Chip, kelly so we missed your celebration. Ashing but this was a sustained effort from an offense Where Jacoby myers was a couple of targets away from the big. Game we were concerned that When Michael mayer caught a ball in the middle of the second, half no Brock bauers there as a knee. Injury Coach carroll said he just bumped knees with somebody he wanted to go back in the. Game, ultimately they didn't need, him as the offense was consistent and the defense made the plays that it needed to to Get Drake may and company.

00:46:02
Speaker 2: Often glad he brought that.

00:46:03
Speaker 1: Up and, yes a revenge game For Jacoby myers who was close to a bigger, day but it still went eight for ninety.

00:46:07
Speaker 2: Seven you think Old.

00:46:09
Speaker 1: Bill belichick should have given him three for thirty nine million a few years. Ago, Still i'm still salty about it that you should Be, okay let The patriots scouts go to the. Games the Other oh, man if, you'll if you'll forgive me here shook. Is first drive For Drake. May first down has a wide open, checkdown doesn't see, it you, know like after he goes through his, reads holds onto, it tries to. Scramble it's a bad, idea and then completely sales his third. Down he had open, receivers you, Know Kayshaun body goes six for one oh. THREE i Think Hunter henry is the most important player on this. Offense that's not a great. Sign and they moved the. Ball if you look at the box, score it was two hundred and eighty seven yards a touchdown interception For Drake. May it's like not that bad though he had to throw it forty six. Times but he did not look comfortable even on a lot of. COMPLETIONS i don't think he was that. Accurate and that disjointed START i think continued because in the middle portion of this, game there were opportunities for them short yard situations where they got stuffed open receivers That Drake may missed while their defense was playing. Better AND i thought they were creative getting a lot of pressure On Gino, smith and they ultimately didn't take. Advantage and it ends up being kind of a snoozer of a game shook where they tack on a field, goal you, know really late to make it twenty to. Thirteen but it was kind of a game where The raiders just choked the life out of The patriots in the second.

00:47:35
Speaker 5: Half, Yeah and it felt like a game that was defined by just a lot of new for both, teams but one team handled all the newness better than the, other and that was The raiders With Pete. Carroll and because of, experience to be honest with, you like you have the experienced coach And Pete carreley have the experienced quarterback In Gino. Smith you have an experience coach Coaching Mike, rabel but you still have a very young quarterback In Drake. May you have a ton of new pieces on both sides of the ball. There And i'm glad you brought Up Hunter henry being a big part and a key part of this, offense maybe the big part of it because how do you get a young quarterback? Comfortable you feed the tight. End that's your safety blanket in any. Offense so that is it's a great. Point but also this has been prevalent throughout the games that we've cut most of the games In Cover Day safe for The, jets nobody's running the. Football, well how are you going to balance out an offense and take a little bit of pressure off your quarterback in his second year and his first year in under a new offensive coordinator with a bunch of new. Guys if you don't run the, football, well that explains a lot of. It you talk, About, well they. Couldn't they got stuffed in a number of, situations and it was a close game until it wasn't when The raiders made it a two score game in the second. Half that could all be solved if you have a little bit more. Balance but balance is an. Aspiration it's very much more difficult to achieve in THE.

00:48:39
Speaker 1: Nfl, yeah Vermondre stevenson ends up Doubling Trevon henderson and, snaps but ends up with fifteen yards on seven.

00:48:47
Speaker 2: Carries there was no.

00:48:48
Speaker 1: PUSH i mean they were running on third and a foot and losing a. Yard and that's been on my raider all week all. Week, well maybe we'll talk about it later in the. Week like we talked, about, oh the run game. Is it's all about the run this, year and game after game you are really Seeing it's like the defensive coordinators knew it was coming and they were ready for. It you're seeing the run games stymied all around the. League it's only one, game And i'm not going to panic too, much but there was one SEQUENCE i do want to get. TO i, mean we talked a lot About Will campbell in the, offseason AND i actually think for most of this game he looked pretty. GOOD i bet HIS pff score or whatever's not going to be that. Bad but it was a brutal sequence that really decided the game. Late he ended up with two penalties in the game. Total but there was a sequence late where he gives up a. Stripsack Malcolm koons And Max crosby combining on that And kons looked good and this game so Did. Crosby he gives up a strip, sack he falls on the, ball so they keep the. Ball they end up in a fourth and, five and then he tries to get off the ball early after getting a little spooked out from that strip, sack and they call a penalty on him for a false. Start it was his second false start of the. Day then they're at fourth and ten at midfield or so a little before, that with what you, know five six, secs you, know five six minutes left in the, game And Mike rabel with one of the most gutless punts you'll ever want to. SEE i hate a gutless. Punt your defense isn't even playing that. Well you're down ten freaking points with five and a half minutes to, go and you know what happens when you punt the ball over To Gino.

00:50:22
Speaker 2: Smith he makes it.

00:50:23
Speaker 3: Pay we're going three twenty five to.

00:50:25
Speaker 7: Go see if they put this in the, Air Gino.

00:50:27
Speaker 2: Smith is gonna.

00:50:28
Speaker 7: Throw he rosted his writing. Puff he heats went ball for four and one for. One Comes buck slides And mike's the. Rabbit The patriots thirty nine your.

00:50:36
Speaker 9: Line, paul my goodness for what football was.

00:50:40
Speaker 2: Like a dying.

00:50:41
Speaker 18: Duck but he kicks a thirty six in The patriots town tory and little.

00:50:47
Speaker 1: KEY i should point out this game was a little sloppier because of light rain happening throughout the. Game it definitely had an. Impact great call there By Jason. Horowitz terrible job By Carlton davis who who bites on a slant on in twenty when you know.

00:51:01
Speaker 2: You just he he was over.

00:51:03
Speaker 1: Aggressive you got in the Full Carlton davis experience that he gave up some big.

00:51:06
Speaker 2: Plays he made some big.

00:51:07
Speaker 1: Plays but you you told, me AND i thought about You, patrick like you won't know until it's the fourth quarter and you See Geno smith like make a nice, throw like how you really feel in your?

00:51:18
Speaker 2: Heart and.

00:51:20
Speaker 1: The heart is they can hold many truths at. Once, Oh, ultimately LIKE i was, like that's why you you don't punt it back To Gino.

00:51:27
Speaker 2: Smith you deserve what you. Get it was.

00:51:29
Speaker 1: BEAUTIFUL i was happy to watch him play so, well and YET i still was ultimately disappointed by a dispiriting effort by The. Patriots that was The Sunday drive presented By. Toyota let's go, Places let's go To Lucas Oil, stadium.

00:51:45
Speaker 19: Second and Twenty for The colts first play of the second, Quarter Daniel.

00:51:48
Speaker 7: Jones plays the right, side that's.

00:51:50
Speaker 9: Right touchdown for The Colt's pittman junior twenty seven yard beautifully placed past By Daniel Jones zones To Michael pittman junior.

00:52:02
Speaker 7: Touchdownty what for The Colts?

00:52:07
Speaker 1: Ooo Matt taylor on w F N, I Danny dimes is back thirty three to eight against The. Dolphins the biggest beatdown of the entire day was The Indianapolis colts over The Miami.

00:52:22
Speaker 2: Dolphins what, Happened, Patrick.

00:52:25
Speaker 4: Well what happened was we get a Generational dimes. Game AND i remember starting the twenty twenty four season and Seeing Saquon barkley In philadelphia and The eagles score thirty points and, Thinking, wow that only happened a couple of times during The dimes In saquon Era well his first opportunity here against The Miami dolphins, defense you would think by looking at numbers that straight up The dolphins got enough pressure to. Bother Danny, dimes of, course famously had eighteen turnovers his rookie, year significant amount of. Fumbles, no they were. There there were twelve total pressures by The dolphins On Daniel Jones. Distantley these two new additions on the offensive line for The colts paid. Off dimes navigated the pocket he got balls To Tyler warren who almost finishes a tight end. One the rookie made a whole bunch of plays on the. Outside Michael Pippen junior was. Involved there's a crucial third down conversion To Josh downs where The Miami dolphins turned the ball over two out of the first three drives that they had the, ball and The colts consistently scored every single time where there was just no spot for. Hope The dolphins got a late, touchdown but this was. Nasty it was thirty to nothing at one. Point greg The dolphins were never in this. GAME i picked him as a. Survivor me And Zach taylor both start the seasons traditionally, bad except The bengals got a Winning week one AND i lost a gam And i'm out of the survivor waiting for you.

00:53:44
Speaker 2: Guys that is absolutely.

00:53:46
Speaker 1: Outrageous it's on my radar that Both patrick And, jordan you, know didn't take this survivor responsibility seriously. Enough and you're just throwing out willy nilly one and a half points favorites in a survivor. Pool Although i'm talking out of both sides of my mouth BECAUSE i absolutely thought The dolphins were gonna win this.

00:54:06
Speaker 4: Game, yeah, no and they it was clear early on that they had no chance to win.

00:54:12
Speaker 10: It.

00:54:13
Speaker 4: Yeah they were thoroughly outplayed to an extent where Like tua Airmailed Tyreek hill on the first, interception where Preseason i'm Thinking cam buying. Them, well, hey you know he had all those celebrations and don't turnovers In minnesota With Brian flores's, Defense they're. Not, no he Lou anaumo has come. In This colts defense made. Plays Leatu latu had an interception as well where he dropped off into, coverage a.

00:54:36
Speaker 1: Great interception for a defensive, end like one of the best defensive interceptions of the.

00:54:40
Speaker 2: Decade i'll say.

00:54:41
Speaker 4: That, yeah so Lou anarumo gets escapegoaded IN sensei comes To indianapolis and it is it is a new day In.

00:54:48
Speaker 2: Indy The ana roumossance is.

00:54:50
Speaker 16: On.

00:54:50
Speaker 1: Yeah at one POINT i think it was. Halftime actually The colts had run forty three plays to. Fifteen they had two hundred and fifty five yards to forty. Three Tyree kill was honking and wildly, gesticulating not happy on the, Bench like in the first half of the. Game somebody was the vibes are. Bad let's listen To mike McDaniel after the.

00:55:14
Speaker 20: GAME i think it's definitely not all on. Him there's there's there's just throws THAT i know he makes nine times out of ten and he didn't make him. Today but that being, said it's hard to play quarterback when you have surprise, pressures meaning that they're blitzing but you think it's, accounted accounted, for and then somebody doesn't pick it, up or you, know you have people coming out the huddle the wrong way when when they had been nailing it for a week on.

00:55:48
Speaker 3: A week.

00:55:48
Speaker 1: Plus really, Mhm mike McDaniel has a bad habit like me of just like the sentences to just trail off at some point you're not really sure where the.

00:55:57
Speaker 2: End i'm that guy as.

00:55:58
Speaker 1: Well, yeah to a tongue Of bilo ends up three point nine yards per, play you're passing the.

00:56:05
Speaker 2: Ball you just you're just not used to seeing.

00:56:07
Speaker 1: That AND i think the focus is going to be so much on the dysfunction there and everyone that's been whispering that it's that it's not a good situation there In miami is gonna be spiking the football and, celebrating and The colts people are going to be that, say, Hey Danie jones look pretty, good like they're going to be SAYING i told you. SO i do want to just more focus on the credit to The. Colts shook just that Tight Tyler warren going seven for seventy six in his first game as a. Pro Michael, pittman who was just falling to the nether regions of fantasy, DRAFTS i saw late LIKE i saw him like the eleventh or twelfth, round like this, is you, know go six for eighty and and a. Touchdown This colts, team if they can get decent quarterback, play they obviously got better than that.

00:56:48
Speaker 2: Today.

00:56:48
Speaker 1: Shook dude does have some talented, players And Shane, stiken you, know has has coached up some pretty you, know shaky quarterbacks here over the last few years to a decent amount of.

00:56:57
Speaker 6: Wins, yeah you.

00:56:58
Speaker 5: Know in that McDaniel, reponse the one thing THAT i took away was it sounds like the operation is.

00:57:03
Speaker 6: Dysfunctional it's just. Disorganized you need to work on.

00:57:06
Speaker 5: That which is the exact term That Shane stiken used when describing why he Took Daniel jones Over Anthony richardson in their quarterback, battle and obviously he was onto something because according to this the operation was fantastic In. INDIANAPOLIS i can understand why people didn't want to Draft Michael pittman in their fantasy drafts because you have no confidence In Daniel jones and it is only one. WEEK i cautioned against overreacting because let's remember what The saints did in the first two weeks last.

00:57:29
Speaker 6: Year they looked, like you, know a.

00:57:30
Speaker 5: Wagon they were an incredibly, explosive explosive offense that fell off a cliff. Later but this is kind of a shock to, me not that The dolphin, struggle but that The colts were able to produce at this. Level so we'll stay, sticking you, know giving credit where credit is, due and that's the winners in this. Game AND i just said that teams aren't running football. Well Jonathan taylor AND Dj giddens combined for over one hundred and ten.

00:57:50
Speaker 6: Yards that's pretty. Good it sounds like, everything you.

00:57:52
Speaker 5: KNOW i, mean from my view of the, game everything went pretty well for The, colts a lot better than most people.

00:57:56
Speaker 4: Expected they, did even in run, defense where you you wonder you look at over the course of the. Game of, course The dolphins were trailing for a significant, amount but we know they can be explosive in the run. Game Devona chan had nine yards of carry in this, game but they just didn't go to the. Run of, course the turnover is a big part of, that where everything was. DISJOINTED i really think it would be Easy greg to listen to do vibe watch and say that this is a. Rap this was a especially bad game for The dolphins to Where i'm willing to throw this.

00:58:30
Speaker 3: ONE i account some of it To week.

00:58:32
Speaker 4: One they're not, good but they're, not you, know twenty six points worse than The.

00:58:38
Speaker 1: Colts they just have a Monster week, two they're they're at home against The. Patriots you, know two teams that are going to be zero to, one and you can fix everything for a couple of weeks with just getting a. Win but if they can't win that, game like the vultures will be circling rough. Performance they're three turnovers for to only twelve first downs for The dolphins. Offense let's go To denver where the offenses were struggling as.

00:59:03
Speaker 13: Well STRAIGHT i, formation double titan said wing, right one wide, receiver the.

00:59:07
Speaker 3: Handoff this IS Jk.

00:59:08
Speaker 7: Dobbins nice patient run.

00:59:09
Speaker 8: There dubb's first through the, ten the five high steps of the end, zone Touchdown. DENVER Jk dobbins his first touchdown as A. Bronco it's a run of nineteen.

00:59:21
Speaker 1: Yards that Was Dave logan ON Koa broncos win twenty to twelve against The Tennessee. TITANS a very interesting. GAME i do think this would be a fun, rewatch even though it was. Ugly shook is giving me the. Eyes but The titans had so many wild things. HAPPEN i know they only ended up with seven first, downs but, man they were like in an entertaining. Seven Sean payton is just Calling gopher broke fourth and eighth's late in the. Game The broncos are trailing against The titans for a good chunk of. It as bad games, GO i think this was a good bad. Game i'll stay for.

01:00:00
Speaker 6: THAT i gave you the eyes because this game made my eyes. Bleed it was.

01:00:04
Speaker 5: TERRIBLE i mean not not terrible in terms of, watchability but terrible if you, like you, know football that's executed at a solid.

01:00:11
Speaker 6: Level The broncos played with their food this entire.

01:00:14
Speaker 5: Game now their defense is as good as we expected them to, be AND i think that fact into why The titans couldn't do anything with the four turnovers they. Forced but that speaks to The broncos being. Sloppy they. Were bonix comes out and he's just letting it, rip you. Know he throws a fifty to fifty ball To Courtland sutten that gets picked. Off great play By roger. McCree he's under pressure and steps up as if he's going to escape the pocket and then throws a pass into. Traffic he didn't see the, defender you, know a drifting underneath to pick that one. Off so he's got two picks in his. Ledger he fumbles when he's trying to escape the. Pocket that's the third. One then they, fumble they muff a. Punt The titans did nothing with basically any of. That they finished with twelve. Points they're all on field. Goals The broncos could have won this game in their, sleep and that's why they go for it on fourth and eight and just chuck the ball down the field because they don't care they're giving up field. Position in the final minute and a half of the, game they just got two stops in the fourth quarter there because cam mord is surrounded by spare. Parts titans, fans you have your. Quarterback he has a strong, arm he looks the. Part he put a number of good passes on receivers in this game that.

01:01:11
Speaker 6: Dropped they were. Dropped they failed.

01:01:13
Speaker 5: Him it was just an example of a team that made the playoffs last year and is looking to continue to. Build but it's week, one so they're shaking off the rust and it's A titans team that's still two years away, from you, know thinking about the.

01:01:23
Speaker 1: Playoffs, well he had chances on that last, drive and SO i think his accuracy and his timing is not there one hundred. Percent yet you wouldn't expect the timing to be there with this receiver, group Like Tyler lockett did not have a catch. TODAY i heard some concerning whispers about how he looked in training camp and just just in the practices that you, know like is he going to be a guy who really HELPS i, mean he was signed for four million. Dollars there was a reason for, that so he WARD i thought had a chance there, Late but, MAN i thought that was one of the biggest look at me calls of all time By sean bay and to go for it at fourth and eight and call that And Bo nicks had.

01:02:03
Speaker 2: A wide Open Courtland.

01:02:06
Speaker 1: SUTTON i believe that would have Made Sean payton look like a, genius but he did not see.

01:02:09
Speaker 4: It, yeah they had the crossers And bow went with the one that the defenders actually went.

01:02:15
Speaker 3: With if you go, back if you want to WATCH.

01:02:18
Speaker 4: Skycamvu or on Next gen, stats if you want to look at the, dots no matter how you look at, It Cortland sutton is all alone and heading towards the end zone on that. Play it was just Either knicks didn't see. Him the pressure was, there but In peyton's, defense the call was. There, yeah and in The titans defense they they had several opportunities to shit pointed out to ultimately win this. Game there was a huge play that could have led to another possession Where Jeffrey simmons for some reason is PUSHING i BELIEVE. R. J harvey down like a full second after the whistle was. Blown that extended a drive WHERE i coming into this game obviously like you made it your survivor pick and Congratulations greg to survive in this. One but there were similarly Like cam wore throwing seam, balls firing them in there with. Confidence they just had a lot of heat on. Them maybe they'll be, adjustments as you, said the unfamiliar targets on the. Outside but there was a lot of positives to take away from Cam ward going on the road against a Good broncos.

01:03:18
Speaker 3: Defense to, ME i, know it's weak one.

01:03:21
Speaker 1: And, YEAH i mean they averaged two point four yards for play and they had one hundred and thirty three. Yards and this was not one of those games like we talked about the packers and lines where it like shortened because there's only seven or eight. Drives each of these teams had fourteen drives, today. SHOOK I, actually from WHAT i, saw it was one of the worst games of Bo nix's.

01:03:38
Speaker 2: Career do you disagree with?

01:03:41
Speaker 5: ME m not, entirely because he had a stretch like late in last season where he started to turn the ball over a.

01:03:48
Speaker 6: Lot he got.

01:03:50
Speaker 5: It they really won this game because they decided to turn it the. Run Nargi harvey ripped off a fifty yarder and Then dobbin scored that touchdown that we just played, LIKE i guess WHEN i said that they played with their, fee you could see that the potential was. There it's just like they everything wasn't, sharp at least not until the second. Half AND i think a little bit it was Bo nick's coming to the game with a lot of confidence from last year and just letting it rip and kind of paying the price a little, bit like a better team makes them pay for this and they lose this, game which is, okay and week one when you're playing The, titans which we kind of justify your. Claim BUT i wouldn't be like overly concerned BECAUSE i feel like they were kind of testing some things out and they. Knew at one point in the, game they're, like, look our defense is not going to give up a, score like unless something miraculous happens, around like we would give up a, score so we can get a little aggressive and kind of tinker a little. Bit it felt like a big tinker game for The broncos once they got head by eight.

01:04:37
Speaker 1: Points, yeah if we didn't make it clear that The titans did not score a touchdown in this, game it was For joey sly field goals and uh, yeah Bo nix ends up with three. Turnovers he lost the fumble he was intercepted. Twice he threw the ball forty times and average under five yards per attempt under four and a. Half So i'm calling that one of the worst games of his. Career it was a survivor pick THAT i, survived and it felt like just barely. Surviving Nick, schook you've done more than. Survive oh, yeah we got the. Music you've done a fantastic. Job what we're gonna do now is we're gonna say goodbye to you for a little. Bit we're gonna welcome In Jordan rodriek for a, segment and then we're gonna see you to Recap Sunday night. Football so see you in a little, bit little.

01:05:27
Speaker 2: Buddy we'll be back in a.

01:05:28
Speaker 1: Break, YES i just Called Nick schuck little. Buddy what is wrong with?

01:05:32
Speaker 2: Me where did that come? From my? Brain i've been up since three thirty. Am i'm not.

01:05:37
Speaker 7: Lying Trevor lawrence under, center play. Fake trevor rowls to the, right looks fire for the end of.

01:05:50
Speaker 9: The Putam jackson though put them from six yards.

01:05:57
Speaker 7: Away The jags are in the end bye.

01:06:00
Speaker 1: Today that Was Frank frangie of wj X. L Trevor lawrence To hunter for a. Touchdown not the one we, expected but the Former. Rams they're Finding rams In. Jacksonville your old, Friend James. Gladstone, Yes jordan rodrieg is joining us for this next four pack of. Games The jaguars win twenty six to. TEN i watched this game, Closely jordan AND i have another omen very first series of this, Game jaguars start with the ball fourth and one on their own thirty, seven literally the fourth play of their. Season Does Liam cohen, say, oh let's punt it, away we're on our own thirty seven, yardland or does he Say i've got the hutzpah to go for it right off the, bat the belief in my offensive, line in my. Offense, yeah he goes for fourth and one on his own thirty seven right off the bat To Diami, brown and he picks it up easily on kind of end around type of.

01:07:08
Speaker 2: Play and it was part of a day where they just dominated on the.

01:07:12
Speaker 1: Ground the two thousand and twenty Five Carolina panthers run defense looked a lot like the twenty twenty Four Carolina panthers run, defense giving up two hundred yards to the Drag. Jaguars travis etn with one hundred and forty. Three this game felt pretty over by. Halftime there was a long lightning delay THAT i had to wait about an HOUR i think in fifteen minutes for that broke up some of the. Scoring but Basically jacksonville did whatever they wanted and then we were just killing time after.

01:07:45
Speaker 21: That it's a huge problem because this is the part Of carolina's defense that they at least expected to look, better especially r out of the.

01:07:53
Speaker 22: Gate Derek brown is, Back Bobby brown.

01:07:56
Speaker 21: Is lining up next to. Him this is a group where, yes there's been to, say my prerogative is.

01:08:01
Speaker 2: So bad right, now that's his. Predrogative, yes you gotta.

01:08:04
Speaker 21: Close the, bit you, know got it nailed, it ran over, here ran over here from the. Stadium but, yeah That's they've had questions about their, secondary their, safeties injuries on and off over the last couple of. Years this was supposed to be the get back that they got. Back Derek brown was supposed to be that. Factor and it's one, game it's week, one but, man the two Former Tampa Bay buccaneers offensive coordinators dueling it out against each. Other Liam cohen squad obviously looked a lot more, polished.

01:08:33
Speaker 1: Right And Liam cohen squad last year With tampa put it On carolina for about five hundred yards per game when he was With, tampa and, honestly they looked kind of like The bucks in the first.

01:08:42
Speaker 2: HALF i was so.

01:08:43
Speaker 1: Impressed and in the, End Trevor lawrence's numbers don't look that. Amazing one to seventy. Eight the game slowed down in the second. Half they just had a couple of field goal. Drives but WHAT i saw was that there was a lot of cohesion in the running games, specifically and this is not an offensive line that you think of as having been particularly cohesive in the, past and they're blowing open. HOLES i thought that seventy one yard run By etn was one of the best runs of his careers because he showed a lot of. PATIENCE i Think trevor was really on time and on target for those first four drives or. So they put up twenty points in their first four, drives and, then LIKE i, said it just got.

01:09:21
Speaker 2: Quiet BUT i was.

01:09:22
Speaker 1: IMPRESSED i think if you're A jaguars fan and you look At Brian thomas ends up with eleven, Yards Travis hunter doesn't do that much as a, receiver and yet you won like going away without much from those two.

01:09:35
Speaker 2: Guys it's pretty. Impressive, yeah AND i can.

01:09:37
Speaker 4: Make Another Gladstone rams reference where the play To Diamie brown on fourth down remounting me Of Cooper cup in The Super.

01:09:43
Speaker 23: Bowl oh my, GOD i saw two of those today by m McVeigh. Tree people, like that's. Awesome, yes it's the play that will never die.

01:09:51
Speaker 2: Ever it, works it works.

01:09:53
Speaker 4: Consistently the new acquisition gets used. There Brian Thomas, junior again you mentioned. It not very involved in the passing, game but he gets in the end zone as you see the commitment to the run game by These jags on a. Carry and, yeah the answer to the Great jags backfield trivia question ultimately Was Travis. Etn, yes getting way more opportunity than the. Tank, Basically Baseial tutant comes in in relief Of etn because, honestly at eight point nine yards of, Carry travis was tiring himself.

01:10:21
Speaker 1: Out oh, yeah he's only tired because that was after the seventy one yard. Dard AND i gotta Say Basil tuton's first, run, MAN i love. That, yeah it was an eight yard run where he had the jump stop AND i was, Like, oh that's my favorite Run i've seen all. Day SO i think we will hear From Basil, tutant but that is tough to. Him, yes you absolutely nailed it with Some basial tutan honking in the, Preseason, Greg she's coming. In she's hitting home runs right off the. Bat SO i took this game myself BECAUSE i wanted to See Travis. Hunter it was a quiet. Day six catches thirty three. YARDS a lot of them weren't really in the flow of the. Offense they were kind of manufactured. Touches he played six snaps on. Defense he was in zone coverage on a play where he gave up a first down To teed.

01:11:03
Speaker 2: McMillan i'm pretty sure it was.

01:11:06
Speaker 1: Nothing remarkable really on either side of the. Ball but the fact that The Brenton strange hype from the preseason and offseason. Capitalized he was a really important part of their, OFFENSE i think that was a good. Sign and on the flip, side The panthers were a total. Mess like the run defense was a. Disaster the defense couldn't get any stops. Early they stabilized in the second, half But brysong had one of the worst games since he was, benched maybe the worst game since he was benched after two games last. Year at one point he was eight for seventeen for fifty six yards with a couple. Turnovers he added another turnover late on what ultimately was a, drop but he also had a pick six that was on a totally ghastly decision that was taken back by a. Penalty so it was about as bad as it as it. LOOKED i actually feel bad about doing, this but we were talking about you wanting to make the worst throw of the, year like a Thing, patrick and SO i do have a clip Of Bryce young making a toss.

01:12:09
Speaker 7: Here it's fourth in a yard and an empty. Backfield The young drops.

01:12:13
Speaker 15: Gop, look he's gonna have to throw it In tony, handle complete going out of the back.

01:12:17
Speaker 1: Of the end.

01:12:18
Speaker 18: Zone thatts it incomplete pass and the ball's gonna go over on.

01:12:21
Speaker 7: Down what worked by?

01:12:23
Speaker 13: That Jack Morris, Cliff, WOW i can't believe That Bryce young threw it out of the back of the end zone to throw it.

01:12:31
Speaker 9: Away you gotta give your guys.

01:12:32
Speaker 7: A chance's fourth.

01:12:33
Speaker 5: DOWN i love.

01:12:35
Speaker 22: IT i love how complimented the text defense did nothing on.

01:12:38
Speaker 2: THAT i Love.

01:12:41
Speaker 3: Bryce it's a long.

01:12:43
Speaker 4: Season there is only one choice for What tony leader in the, clubhouse and It's Bryce young putting it in the.

01:12:50
Speaker 3: Sands for the one it's.

01:12:53
Speaker 1: Well the crazy thing, is when you watched the, replay he had an open receiver he ACTUALLY i think some color flat in front of him to use some football, jargon and he clearly didn't. SEE i think it Was Jatavian sanders flashing open right in front of, him but he had two. Options as he was, scrambling he must have lost track of what down it was and he throws it.

01:13:14
Speaker 2: Away so our early worst throw of the year.

01:13:17
Speaker 3: Candidate it was.

01:13:18
Speaker 21: BAD i caught the, condensed very fast version of, this and there were center timing snap, issues there were center exchange issues the entire. GAME i was talking with my Colleague Joe, person And joe wrote in his column post game it just seemed Like Dave kanalis did not have this group. Prepared they just and in juxtaposition TO i guess the pleasant surprise of first year head Coach Liam cohen and those guys and how they were ready to. Roll it was very stark for someone who was there watching, it and.

01:13:45
Speaker 1: It was a big factor that ike Ikei ikwan was out for this, game and they Played Yosh NIGEMAN i, believe who used to be with The, packers And josh Heinz allen was the most dominant player in this, game and a lot of it was On. Nyman he had six quick, pressures Which i'm sure will be the most of any player in the ENTIRE nfl all, Week so that injury played a big. Factor good job by The jaguars getting to one and. Zero let's go to The superdome in a game that looked like two pretty even.

01:14:19
Speaker 16: Teams four seconds, left final play of the, game fourth down ball on the eighteen of The. Cardinals rattler back to, pass, looking throws left side and it's thrown out of. Bounds in complete and the game is. Over The cardinals Win week one In New orleans twenty to.

01:14:35
Speaker 21: Thirteen oh photographer catches a big stray there in the end.

01:14:39
Speaker 1: Zone, yes and unfortunate fourth down throwing the ball out of. Bounds we give, You Spencer rattler on what WAS i believe a fourth and goal chance to tie the.

01:14:51
Speaker 2: Game twenty to.

01:14:52
Speaker 1: Thirteen The saints go down in a game where if you look at the, stats and this was really true throughout the, day it wasn't them up at the, end there was very little separating these two. Teams it looked pretty even and The saints ultimately just couldn't finish. Drives they put a lot On Spencer rattler's. Plate he threw the ball forty six. Times patrick and The cardinals wasn't. Perfect it's week. One it's just survive in, advance especially for these teams that have high aspirations in games that they should.

01:15:27
Speaker 2: Win no style. Points it's. Fine you got out of there with the. Win move.

01:15:31
Speaker 4: On, yeah and my expectations were completely wrong in this game in the way that the new head, coach you, know they come over Dus Kellen moore from The Super bowl champions two thousand yard. RUSHER i, Thought Spencer ratler still looking for his first career. Win they're going to lean On Alvin kamara and the big guys up. Front, no it was airing it out With Spencer ratler for the duration of the. Game Alvin kamara did have a touchdown run where he looked like VINTAGE, ak kind of smoothly gliding into the end zone and making those adjusts with the ball in his. Hands but it was a lot of rattler, throws a lot Of Jwan johnson involved in this, game especially down the scene where The cardinals couldn't pull. Away there was the first completion To Marvin Harrison junior of the season was a bomb From Kyler. Murray they eventually pay that off with a crosser Where wilson comes up and sets a little bit of a screen that doesn't get. Called as we were favoring offense today On Game Day live With Steve Smith senior, saying there was no penalties on the offense, today but it can a little bit of a concerning win for The cardinals over a team that we thought might be in position to take the number one overall pick come next. Year where The saints really held in onto this game and had a lot of chances to.

01:16:46
Speaker 1: Win, yeah yards for, play you, know overall yards The saints were a little. Better you Mentioned Juwan, johnson who goes eight for seventy SIX Nfl daily guest was a. DELIGHT i think the biggest play of the game was ultimately the third down Where aler makes a nice throw and Hits Juwan johnson in the. Hands would have tied it up assuming they hit the extra. Point that was the play before the one we listened. To it was tough to see on replay if it was jostled, out he definitely was hit or whether you Know Buddha baker actually even got his hands on the. Ball but the coolest play of the day was our, Guy Buddha, baker you, know knocking that play out essentially and then doing a kickflip off The superdome turf like basically for what was the game winning.

01:17:30
Speaker 21: Play he is one of the coolest players in THE, nfl. Honestly, yeah The cardinals let The saints hang around a little too. LONG i think part of it's The saints know there's nothing to lose literally this. Season they have to go out and play every single game like it's the biggest game of their. Season other teams are kind of looking At week. One i'm not saying they counted them out at, all but other teams are just not quite cohesive. Yet In week, one The cardinals kind of just took their foot off the gas a little. Bit it seemed, LIKE i want to shout Out Will. Johnson you said the coolest play of the. GAME i, Mean Will. JOHNSON i went back AND i watched the quick clips WHILE i was sitting in the in the wings listening to.

01:18:03
Speaker 2: You you made good time coming from the rams were earlier that we.

01:18:06
Speaker 23: Expected i'm so shiny right now. TOO i ran so fast it was so hot. Outside BUT i was watching like the quick clips and the cutups Of Will. Johnson the, corner the rookie. Corner he targeted seven, times defended three, passes allowed just thirty two yards on four, catches and the best play of the, game in my opinion of the limited viewing THAT i, had was him crashing down and reading A Chris olave motion on a, second second and long And Chris alave was supposed to be an, outlet little outlet For Spencer rattler on the, play and he Hit Chris olave so hard out of pure read and knowledge understanding this play and what was supposed to. Happen he hit him so hard that krisl Love like had a hard time catching his breath, afterward catching his. Wind if he keeps playing like, this he is on a, really, really really interesting track as a.

01:18:51
Speaker 1: ROOKIE i love it when two of my favorite football minds come together on an. Opinion BECAUSE i asked our Friend adam from The Saints Block Party, podcast any thoughts from this, game and he thought the cornerbacks for The cardinals were just all over The saints' receivers that they're just were not open receivers throughout the, day which matched a lot of what you heard In saints practice. Too you weren't seeing a lot of open, receivers So kellen's struggling to scheme them open or the receiver struggling to get. Open but that's a good sign for a really good young secondary, yet and it was surprising because their success rate on their runs was quite. High it was forty six five, percent which is really, good and it was close to the whole, game and they just didn't run the ball. Much and So Kellen moore had one really big moment THAT i thought he was in over his head where at the end of the first, half The cardinals are running the clock down ultimately that they score a touchdown with twenty eight seconds to go and they're inside the ten and The saints just let them do it with all three. Timeouts kellen just you, know like on first and second, down The cardinals kind of went out of their way to drain the clock before scoring the. Touchdown now that it could have ended up a field, goal but either, way and he just let it happen and then kneeled on the. Ball i'm, like, bro you gotta, like this is THE. Nfl you got to use those timeouts like A madden player knows how to did. It SO i think he was showing a little bit of a rookie head.

01:20:13
Speaker 23: Coach it's possible you forget sometimes you're supposed to be the one, who's, yeah, man who's doing that in the headset and you're on the wrong.

01:20:20
Speaker 22: Channel, maybe LIKE i just it's. You just you're, like.

01:20:22
Speaker 1: OH i was, like someone should be telling him to take these timeouts that the broadcast WAS i think it Was Ross tucker who was hammering about it's a good job.

01:20:29
Speaker 22: By you're, like, well, shoot that's. Me i'm supposed to be doing.

01:20:32
Speaker 4: That, actually maybe an adjustment to the. Process he's on the sideline With Brandon. Saley maybe he's looking Over Brandon, staley, uh saying that he's he's in that.

01:20:40
Speaker 3: Situation this guy's really. Intense they, were, uh you know when when they were with The.

01:20:44
Speaker 4: Chargers but there was another uh a quarterback sneak By Spencer rattler Where, uh The saints offensive lineman lined up in. Properly one of them actually lined up off, Sides and you think about all the shove success That Kellen moore called In, philadelphia trying to get used to things to. PROCESS i feel better about The. Sciints, yeah after this game THAN i did before coming into.

01:21:06
Speaker 19: It.

01:21:06
Speaker 1: Absolutely the fact that they outgained into, another you, know competitive team by by forty. Yards, Absolutely and if you're The, cardinals you're a little concerned about like the target. Depth harrison and McBride both have really good. Games no one else has over ten, yards so you're gonna have to develop more options. There all, right let's get to The Jordan rodrieg special. Game she was focusing in on a couple of, them including one In.

01:21:32
Speaker 17: Washington wheels, around takes a, handoff spins back to the, left has a wall in front of.

01:21:38
Speaker 7: Them at the fifteen, break the tackle of ten took hard, touchdown touch down Washingon Devo. Sze that was talk to.

01:21:50
Speaker 1: Profession oh so great Having Ram weinstein back in our.

01:21:55
Speaker 2: Life Lennon fletcher also in the. Booth didn't hear him, there but that.

01:22:00
Speaker 1: Guy twenty one to, six The Washington commanders win in a game that looked like the score just one. Sided not too, flashy but pretty cool to See Deebo samuel there with a rushing. Touchdown also led them in receiving with seventy seven yards on seven.

01:22:18
Speaker 21: Catches, yeah and was all over the, field like some people were saying after being a training, CAMP i, mean.

01:22:24
Speaker 23: Tooting my own horn, again all over it, baseial tooting my own horn. Again but that play was the backbreaking moment and kind of This this game was kind of ugly through most of.

01:22:33
Speaker 21: It they'd been playing with their food a. Little there's a little sloppiness in the whole. Operation, Offensively jane And daniels overthrew a couple sure. Touchdowns he was trying to get a connection going early on in the. Game there was a couple there's a bad mental mistake to a clock runoff out of the grounding penalty that they just.

01:22:49
Speaker 22: Weren't they were a little loose at.

01:22:51
Speaker 21: Times but other than, that there were all these flashes that this was The jade And daniels. Commanders he was so calm the entire. Time they were running him on these really cool design runs where they would intentionally align to spread out That giant's fearsome front and then he just goes zoop right up the middle and have these huge.

01:23:09
Speaker 22: Gains so that was really.

01:23:10
Speaker 21: Impressive but this was really They they for the most, part they looked like the commanders we expect out, of you, know some of the looseness that comes.

01:23:17
Speaker 22: With week One.

01:23:20
Speaker 21: Giants Quarterback Russell wilson out of that, touchdown he made a few nice. Throws the pressure got to him on the third and fourth, down and then he was then he was. Picked he was bailed out by A roughi the passer. Call Bobby wagner like, accidentally like palm slapped him on the helmet and then.

01:23:36
Speaker 22: Got bailed out by the.

01:23:37
Speaker 21: Call and then they got all the way down to The washington, three and they kept throwing it because they could not. Run and then they had another batted ball By Bobby wagner and two incompletions and that was the story of the game for The giants, offense who overall ran eleven plays inside the ten and came away with just.

01:23:54
Speaker 22: Three, points including a turnover on downs.

01:23:57
Speaker 1: Late it was, awful right talking about the design runs And Russell wilson had a couple, scrambles But, Tyrone tracy goes ten for twenty, Four Kim scattabu gets a couple, carries ends up with negative, yardage And Devin singletary three for. Nine and, yes they struggled in the red, zone but they struggled. Everywhere, yeah you know they this was a game where they got basically doubled up in. YARDAGE i Thought Trey amos made a nice play on a deep throw to my leak neighbors a couple of. PLAYS i saw the, young you, Know washington cornerback show up in a way that they have to be excited. About but it was bad enough offensively That Brian dable got the questions we kind of expected after the, game will you.

01:24:43
Speaker 3: Consider Starring jackson next?

01:24:46
Speaker 7: Week?

01:24:46
Speaker 19: Yeah, look we're going to get Home, Pat we're gonna look at our game.

01:24:52
Speaker 6: Collectively we all got to do.

01:24:53
Speaker 21: Better there are a couple things on this THAT i was really paying trying to pick close attention. To WHETHER i was like sort of scouring the beat writers post on various social media, platforms and then also like looking on the. Broadcast one of the things that was super interesting to me Was Brian dable walking out onto the field for pregame warmups With Jackson dart and then you know week one of The Russell wilson, experience and this was already coming into it reading reports about there's a package of plays For Jackson dart just in, case and the commanders are preparing for this certain package of, plays And Russell wilson just looked so uncomfortable and out of sync the entire. Time he was pressured at a fifty percent rate by the end of the, game which is, insane and it was coming from. Everywhere the interior of this Rebuilt commander's. Line defensive line was getting some good push and disrupting his pocket on the, insides and then the edge guys were containing and making some plays where they had. Him obviously the linebackers are a factor here. Too he just could not get any sort of rhythm.

01:25:53
Speaker 22: GOING i, mean this WAS i.

01:25:54
Speaker 21: KNEW i knew that this is probably happening, Soon like this has got to happen, soon because when The giants offense got to The washington ten yard, line that was A Malik neighbors twenty five yard pickup out of a blitz pick up By Camps, kataboo WHICH i texted You, GREG i was like Camp.

01:26:09
Speaker 22: Skataboo just killed a.

01:26:10
Speaker 21: Guy they ran seven plays from that position after that explosive, gain and then they settled for a field goal from the two yard line because after they got a fresh set of, Downs Brian dable got to you, know third and two again and was, LIKE i can't watch this. ANYMORE i got to kick a field. Goal i'm AFRAID i won't get. POINTS i think this is happening.

01:26:29
Speaker 2: Soon, oh it's.

01:26:30
Speaker 1: Happening like my immediate reaction from that clip Is he's, gone that's.

01:26:35
Speaker 2: It it's this.

01:26:35
Speaker 1: Week it's it's the most tried and true rule of where of Which i've just put out AND i should do it now like year after. Year if they don't answer the question of who's the, quarterback well then they're making the.

01:26:49
Speaker 3: Change if folks want to listen to it, again the first thing he says is.

01:26:52
Speaker 4: Yeah like he's, like, Yeah we're like And i'm not saying that was a confirmation that he' said Right Star Jackson. Dart but because the package of plays being discussed so, vigorously and As.

01:27:03
Speaker 3: Jordan pointed, out drive after.

01:27:04
Speaker 4: Drive coming up, Short dables having a heated argument with the league neighbors coming off the. Sideline it's, like, Oh jackson darted at any. Point Jackson dart is the future of The giants. Franchise he's also a job saving mechanism For brian day ball and so you can't throw him in in this situation against an opponent that's very familiar with your. Offense Dan quinn company have seen a whole lot Of Brian daboles offense and how it's gonna.

01:27:28
Speaker 3: Work of course not With Jackson.

01:27:29
Speaker 1: Dark, yeah but they didn't stop it last. Year it was two of their worst games of the year was actually Against Daniel. JONES i Mean Daniel jones is two best games of the. Year it is essentially Against. Washington SO i think it will stick In brian dables head that like a year, ago our offense With Daniel jones was way better than this And Russell wilson not helped By Andrew thomas not being, available there's a lot of. Pressure Russell wilson also invites a lot of pressure by holding on to the ball. Ugly wouldn't be surprised if we find Out monday Or tuesday they have a new quarterback and then finally just out To Bill krofsky. Merrit it was quiet early in the, game was getting a little, worried but he came through for you a forty two yard, run ten for eighty two on the ground and a. Touchdown let's now go across the street Where jordan was in person watching The Los Angeles rams win a defensive.

01:28:18
Speaker 16: Struggle one time out remaining for The texans open, up light, play big put.

01:28:24
Speaker 11: To the flat Pap nicua the.

01:28:26
Speaker 8: Thirty he got a first out the Forty Pooka.

01:28:28
Speaker 16: Nakua stayed in bounds across midfield and tackled on his Sideline nakua for the win From Matthew stafford twenty four to.

01:28:37
Speaker 1: Quinchits that WAS Jb long ON Kspn Puka nakua on a great play call By sean.

01:28:47
Speaker 2: McVay felt like there were a lot of those.

01:28:49
Speaker 1: Today despite the final score being so low fourteen to, nine The rams win it in a game where neither team had three hundred yards from. Scrimmage continued the trend throughout the league of not great, running not great offense in. General and, YEAH i think there were a lot of positive signs like that last play by The.

01:29:09
Speaker 21: Rams, yeah And Puka, nakua by the, way who had to leave the game at one point to go get stitches in his face because he was bleeding profusely from above his eyebrow after taking a huge. Hit and then the second he's all stitched up and bandaged up and comes back into the, game he runs a nineteen yard dig and it's, like you, know it's, like which is a contact play because those defenders are crashing into you in the middle of the field once you get. There he was welcoming the contact because you needed to in this, game because this game was a freaking rock, fight you. Guys like from that very first, play the third and two The DeVante adams converts and gets bent literally in, half you, know by a double, hit And Derek stingley juniors on the back side of that and actually takes some incidental, contact bangs his shoulder, up comes back. In this game was so it's like drunk gungles trying to punch each. Other it, was seriously but there was BUT i don't, think AND i, pause that this was not your typical, like, oh it's an ugly win or it's an ugly loss or. Whatever there was some real toughness. Here there were some really nice ideas. Here this wasn't two teams just like slap fighting each. Other this was, actual, like, hey we are two of the tougher teams and we want to show that in THE.

01:30:22
Speaker 22: Nfl and that's WHAT i thought out of this. Game both teams Including.

01:30:24
Speaker 4: Houston, yeah two of the best pass rushes in THE. Nfl and in terms of the talent on The texans, defense it leaps off the. Screen but Also Matthew stafford fully upright fully, operational making throws off his back. Foot there was a timing ball that was just. Perfect there were so many moments where it's like that's, It, yeah that's number. Nine HAD I i would have never picked The texans IF i out of known nine was going to be moving like that against a very good. Passwords there were some dangerous moments where there was a high snap that got away from matt and he was flat on his back AND, i, Oh Bill Anderson junior is clar like ten times out of, ten gotta get there Before Matt stafford. Does But stafford's able to get on top of, it so it's not ten out of. Ten and there was a moment in this fourth quarter Where i'm thinking this is a Classic sean, McVay constricted to drive, circumstances locating where they are gonna have timely screen, Calls they're gonna get the ball out Of stafford's, Hand we're going to be passing in run situations and running in pass. Situations and it was enough to Keep dimico's defense off off of what they were looking for and drain the clock out with The puka, catch as with the ever expanding bandage where he kept going into the blue, tent AND i was glad to see him with his helmet off after the game BECAUSE i was concerned the forehead was.

01:31:37
Speaker 22: Gone, WELL i talked to someone with the.

01:31:39
Speaker 21: Team the stitches kept coming, out so you're getting you're not only getting stitched in game he was in the locker, room but then also they kept coming out because he's taking so much contact throughout the rest of the. Game you Mentioned Matthew stafford some of the unconscious throws that he. MADE i would say it might have been a cooler catch than, throw but maybe this is a. Candidate we'll go back to it where we visit the film at the end of this. Year there was a throw that he made To DeVante, adams who had a quietly really great. Game he was being shadowed most of the time By Derek Stingley, junior and he he basically flipped his hips to turn a back shoulder ball into a front shoulder ball And Matthew stafford read it right before the ball came out of his hand and he placed it so perfectly Because Derek Stingley junior had the backside leverage and it was it was down the, sideline it was right in front Of sean. McVay i Thought sean McVay was going to pass. Out he was like, So AND i will, say like that is this. Team that's what this team wants to, be the combination of toughness and. Finesse on the, converse that's what The Houston texans want to, be and they keep Losing. Lineman greg you were talking about Omens Cam robinson holding penalty on the very first. Snap there left tackle that they brought in holding penalty on the very first offensive, snap and Then Cam robinson left with an injury and then he came back In Jake andrews the center left and then he never came.

01:32:53
Speaker 22: Back this was a brutal fight of a.

01:32:57
Speaker 1: Game, Yeah AND i think it's a great thing that The rams can win games like, this that the defense is coming around where you think of them as a tough. Defense And Devonte adams ends up with four for fifty. One but it felt like at least two of those catches THAT i can remember are just like catches no one else is. Making and, yeah he's soaking up, Now Derek, stingley While pooka gets ten for one, thirty so he's proving his value. THERE i also Think sean, McVay who found fourth down religion because he read an article By Jordan, Rodrigue Like i'm only slightly, exaggerating helped win the game by going for fourth down in the first. Half In Kyron williams scores a touchdown on that and a key sequence in the first.

01:33:41
Speaker 2: Half let's hear about another key. Sequence and this is.

01:33:47
Speaker 22: Before this is when the game got, drunk, right this is when.

01:33:50
Speaker 2: The game got.

01:33:51
Speaker 1: Drunk Before pooka ice the. Game The texans were driving for what they were hoping would be a game winning.

01:33:58
Speaker 2: Touchdown crowd and.

01:34:02
Speaker 3: He's got him underneath.

01:34:07
Speaker 7: Covered what a playbold?

01:34:18
Speaker 22: Man who better than to put the ball on the ground than a guy Named Nate. Landman AM i?

01:34:25
Speaker 23: Right that punch out classic moment right?

01:34:27
Speaker 7: There?

01:34:28
Speaker 1: Better but Then Kevin Harlan and then who better to hear the word Land man from Than Trent.

01:34:35
Speaker 2: Green somehow it all came.

01:34:37
Speaker 22: Together Braden fisk recovered. It he's quite you.

01:34:39
Speaker 21: Know he put together a runner up season For Defensive rookie of The year last year and is already starting out really. Well they were rushing him out as a wide nine a little this this game and part of you're gonna see a little bit more of.

01:34:53
Speaker 22: THAT i want to use this talk about C. J stroud a little bit more BECAUSE i want to be fair to.

01:34:58
Speaker 21: HIM i think that with what he had and what the types of pressure they were, BRINGING i think he did pretty well for the most part him. Himself, obviously there were still some protection issues when he had his starting offensive. Line they allowed thirteen pressures per next, gen which is not. Great then obviously that starts missing losing guys in the third, quarter and Then i'm not really calculating it from, there BUT i thought with what they were, bringing they were widening and condensing their fronts like, crazy and they were really trying to go against this stright tackle Arionte, urzi Who rams players were complimenting postgame For howie handled all the. Stuff they were overloading on his. Side they were sending safety blitzz they were doing all of this, stuff and the goal they were telling me was to OVERLOAD. Cj stroud pre snap because they weren't sure how much help he would be getting from his offensive. Line so this was a problem last. YEAR i think there are more answers this. Year C. J stroud baited the rush a couple of times really, well and he also baited The rams to. Overrush that's a Little Nick kayley who was with The rams last year Watching Jared vers And Byron young rush around the cup of the quarterback essentially so the quarterback can run up through that, space and that is that's really.

01:36:00
Speaker 22: Smart that's smart. Football THAT'S.

01:36:02
Speaker 21: Cj stroud navigating the, game navigating the pressure really really. Well so while the stats don't really show what he was actually able to, DO i do have optimism about how they're going to handle some of this pressure they'll see moving.

01:36:13
Speaker 22: Forward certainly it won't be at this caliber all.

01:36:15
Speaker 2: Year, yeah it was a little bit of a.

01:36:16
Speaker 1: Surprise the Okie doke usk by putting nursery at right tackle to start this. Game everyone Thought i'd be on the left, side And Cam robinson did. Start they didn't have a ton of. Plays neither team really did fifty seven snaps. Overall Nico collins held to twenty five. Yards no receiver for The, texans and they didn't Have Christian kirk available for this. Game had thirty two. Yards but we talked about answers and some things looking a little. Better Nick, CHUBB i thought ran pretty. Well had four zero point six yards per. Carry they actually had a decent success rate when they tried to run the, ball at least With Nick, chubb and so there were some, positives but The texans start out with a road loss against a tough. Opponent, jordan you're going to be with us on These sunday, shows looking forward to at. All patrick's had a long day here cranking out highlights ON Nfl. Network so we thank you, both and we are going to take one more break and we will be moving on To Sunday Night.

01:37:16
Speaker 7: It you did the damn?

01:37:17
Speaker 23: Thing.

01:37:18
Speaker 19: Expertly this will be a thirty two yard attempt from the left hash for what could be the. Victory they're going to run the clock, down so it is down to three. Seconds here's the, snap hold us, down kick on.

01:37:39
Speaker 18: The, way and it is good And Matt, crater in his first game as A Buffalo, bill has won the ball. Game here In week, one The bills were down by fifteen in the fourth.

01:37:55
Speaker 7: Quarter they come all the way back to win the game at the.

01:38:00
Speaker 1: Gun Chris brown of w G R, caps what was the game of the day might be the game of the. Year it's one of the best games in the history of the Ralph i'll say it certainly one of the Best sunday night football games of all, time the best comeback Of Josh allen's. Career forty one to, forty The Buffalo bills score sixteen points in the final four minutes to rip a sure victory away from The Baltimore ravens on a night where The ravens put up a forty burger in fifty. Minutes it wasn't good, ENOUGH. Shooki there were so many ways that The ravens could have finished this game, out but they. Didn't but we gotta just start just giving some love To Josh allen in this. Offense two hundred and fifty one passing yards For Josh, Allen, no not for the, game chok in the fourth quarter.

01:39:01
Speaker 2: Alone what a moment there In.

01:39:04
Speaker 5: Buffalo, Yeah, look fans started leaving the stadium when they were down, fifteen and, frankly in my, heart my heart left the game as well WITH i don't know less than more than four minutes ago when The bills turned it over on downs in the fourth, quarter down, fifteen AND i understood what they. Left but these are the same FANS i don't know for a generation prior that once.

01:39:24
Speaker 24: Saw them come back from down even more in THE Nfc wildcard game way back AND i think it was nineteen ninety, two and they witnessed a magical night and no better way to close Out sunday a week one than with an, incredible, improbable thrilling comeback like.

01:39:39
Speaker 1: This it's an all time gut punch of a regular season loss for The. RAVENS i, mean just an absolute all timer considering the, opponent considering the, situation leaving the stadium was a crime against sports. Fandom they shouldn't be allowed back in the, stadium, ever. Agains It's buffalo In. September it's not. Cold you're playing The. Ravens Josh allen is your, quarterback and you'll live with it for the rest of their. LIVES i, mean that's the, punishment is that they know who they. Are we could talk big, picture but WHAT i want to, Do shook is go through how that game. Ended you mentioned the turnover on downs that The bills. Had you could say that the comeback started in a way with The ravens three and out with about nine minutes to, go because they had been rolling so, much averaging about ten yards per play until that, point literally ten yards per play until that. Point they go three and out and they give The bills the ball. Back that's when the scoring really. Starts that drive ends on a fourth down, play and it is the moment in this comeback that beyond any, other was really really lucky and set up the collapse to.

01:40:59
Speaker 2: Follow Play here down, fifteen it's a fourth and two.

01:41:03
Speaker 19: Situation allan gonna work from the. Shotgun, here here's the. Snap allen has time, now pressure coming From.

01:41:11
Speaker 7: Vanny throws it's high and it's Cat Keon.

01:41:15
Speaker 19: Coleman it may have been intended For Joson, knox But coleman's the one that ends up with it agent zero with a.

01:41:24
Speaker 1: Touchdown, okay football is a lot about luck. Sometimes everything that you hear About Josh allen and how this team came, back and the mistakes that we're about to talk about that The ravens, made they can all be. True and that can also Be Josh allen's worst pass of the night THAT i can.

01:41:41
Speaker 2: Remember he just sailed. It he missed, it and.

01:41:44
Speaker 1: Because he missed it by so, much it went all the way To Keon, coleman who deserves credit for making a great play.

01:41:49
Speaker 6: There do you see the body language though after they've.

01:41:52
Speaker 5: Scored did you hear the tone of the? Call did you hear the background? Noise The bills probably didn't believe that they were going to come back at.

01:41:58
Speaker 6: That, no that's, COOL a deflection went our.

01:42:01
Speaker 5: Way WHEN i saw, THAT i just started laughing because it was, like, oh of, course of course they're gonna stay in the game off of a weird deflected touchdown, Pass, Like, okay that's, Fine, Yeah i'm sure you're Gonna now you have to go put eight on the board, again good. LUCK i didn't believe at that point, either but it was a great play By Keon, coleman who made a number of great, plays who's a great athlete and was thinking on his.

01:42:21
Speaker 6: Toes they were able to react in time to catch.

01:42:23
Speaker 23: It.

01:42:23
Speaker 2: YEAH i.

01:42:26
Speaker 1: Was watching the game in our film, room you, know a little studio kind of, thing And Maurice, Jones drew And Chris rose Are they're getting ready to DO Nfl network post, game and they were getting up to leave to go to the set when that happens and it gets, tipped And maurice just immediately is just, like that's youth.

01:42:44
Speaker 2: FOOTBALL i, QUIT i give.

01:42:46
Speaker 3: Up that should not.

01:42:47
Speaker 2: Count that should not count as a. Play, Well i'll tell you what it.

01:42:50
Speaker 1: Counted and The bills defense helped really make it count and really ratchet up the. Insanity the second that The ravens Gave Derrick henry the ball on the ensuing, POSSESSION.

01:43:02
Speaker 19: I formation here For, Baltimore jackson under, center AND i handed off To henry and he's bottled.

01:43:08
Speaker 7: Up the ball is.

01:43:09
Speaker 3: Out it's.

01:43:09
Speaker 7: Loose who's got the? Football it's buffalo ball at The baltimore thirty yard. Line Terrell.

01:43:21
Speaker 18: Bernard, wow did it in the playoff. Game he's done it, again. Mister fourth, quarter.

01:43:29
Speaker 1: They show Some bills fans in the crowd hugging each other like they, just you, know had a newborn child happen to you, know it was just absolutely Out Rad's at that point of the, game they're down, eight but it just felt, like oh my, gosh for something that insane to. Happen Derrick, henry who was having one of the best games of his entire, career the first game where he's ever had three thirty yard plus, carries rushes one hundred and sixty nine yards in two touchdowns on the, game loses the ball To Terrell bernard and it's on first. Down it's like before The bills even have to use the time. Out it's before The ravens potentially drain more, clock and it set up The bills to take. Advantage and the thing that you got to give him credit For shook is that when they got the ball this time and on the ensuing, drive they didn't really waste any. Time at that, point it kind of felt, like, oh they're going to go cash it.

01:44:28
Speaker 5: In, yeah they move with the, urgency but like for further, context Like Derek henry is in the process of detonating The bills almost single, handedly like he was dominating. Them and the last touchdown that The ravens scored was him around the left, end just cruising past the, defense cruising Past taylor rep in the end zone for a. Touchdown it was such a frustrating night For bills fans if somebody threw a water bottle in the end zone toward him as he. Scored and then this is the guy who, fumbles and who's the guy who forces the fumble none other than defensive Tackle Ed, oliver who had a phenomenal, knight who Stuffed henryana carry. Earlier he finished five run tackles on run. Snaps if we're in the next gen two run, stuffs that's one of, them and it's the biggest one because he happens to pop the football out and The bills are right there to. Recover and that was the moment you saw on that picture where people are. Hugging that's when everybody started to believe myself included to the point WHERE i, but Oh, god you gotta be kidding.

01:45:16
Speaker 1: ME i, MEAN i felt sick for all The ravens fans For, patrick for myself who picked The, ravens but also just watching this team who played such brilliant football for most of the, game.

01:45:32
Speaker 2: Just find a way to.

01:45:33
Speaker 1: Lose but you know what was in my head and a lot of my notes going back to watch the first half And i'm watching the second, half a lot of my notes were, like The bills offense is actually playing really. Well Josh, allen despite not having the big, numbers is playing really. Well they had twenty five points in nine. DRIVES i believe it was before this crazy comeback. Happened so twenty five points and nine drives is a league leading pace of points per drive against a Good ravens, defense they were playing. Efficient they were just stuck with The bills defense that couldn't get Any stopson was getting run. Over And i'm glad you pointed out At oliver who just had a star making. Night he also had a great sack On Lamar. Jackson so The ravens cash in that touchdown pretty soon, thereafter but they go for two and they do, it you, know with under two minutes remaining to try to tie the, game and the two point attempt. Fails could have maybe called the pass interference on that. PLAY i thought it was close on The, ravens but either way it. Fails The ravens still had the. Lead get the ball. Back and here's WHERE i don't want to kill them for running the ball twice in a row. There but there's two MVPs in this, game And Derrick henry's just. Fumbled you just went three and out with a relatively conservative series before. That Derek kenry fumble and they give the ball To, henry he gets stuffed for one. Yard then you give the ball To Zave flowers trying to get really. Cute that doesn't work. Either it sets up a third and long situation for The ravens And Lamar jackson and he Hits DeAndre hopkins over the middle for six. Yards it's fourth and three at that point and The bills are forced to take their third time out with one thirty three to. Go did you want them to take a chance and go for it there on fourth?

01:47:35
Speaker 10: Down?

01:47:35
Speaker 2: Nick and why is your answer? Yes and why is it wrong if it's not? Yes, well in.

01:47:41
Speaker 6: Terms of deeal, position you would say.

01:47:43
Speaker 5: No but given the fact that The bills had no timeouts, left and you, LOOK i Know clayban is very anti momentum in, sports AND i don't know what The claymates right, now The claymates.

01:47:56
Speaker 2: Are i'll taking a dirt nap. Tonight, SORRY i, know But.

01:47:58
Speaker 5: I'm not trying to rile them, up especially in his time of. Pain i'm not trying to cause some sort of rift. Here but momentum is very real and it was very obvious in this. Game so how do you stop? Momentum you take the life out of them by going forward on fourth and three and end the game right, there and they.

01:48:13
Speaker 1: Didn't, OKAY i don't any want to get into. Momentum forget the, momentum because here's where the momentum and THEN i agree in a, sense but here's where the momentum and the numbers all. Agree that was one of the hardest like go for it analytical decisions that you would ever want to see it WOULD i, think you, know the systems say that would have helped their chance of winning like eight. Percent and it's very simple to. Understand if you go for it, there you need to get three yards with The ravens, offense which has been awesome all, night and if you get those three, yards you win the. Game if you don't get those three, yards you have another chance to win the. Game you have three, timeouts so you get either one chance to win the game by getting the three yards or stopping, them or you get two chances to win the game by either going for it or trying to stop. Them and you can tell, me, oh field position and all, that and they don't have. Timeouts, well they were right back ahead of where they would have kicked that field goal in about five or six plays and less than a, minute with more than enough time to set up what could have been a Long Matt prader field. Goal but then they didn't need to because they were more than in position to set up a chip Shot Matt prader field. Goal so The, ravens who are one of the most analytically driven teams out, THERE i Think John harbaugh was just emotional in the. Moment it's possible it was Because Lamar jackson got a little shaken.

01:49:48
Speaker 2: UP i thought on that play he got hit pretty.

01:49:51
Speaker 1: Hard but The Buffalo bills took a time out in that situation and gave them a chance to reset and go for. It so the numbers will say it's a bad, decision AND i think it's just logical because everyone, says, well those number systems shook like they don't provide, context, Right like they're not you, know looking at the.

01:50:09
Speaker 2: Game, okay well here's the. Game you have AN mvp on your.

01:50:13
Speaker 1: Team In Lamar jackson and you're punting it away to ANOTHER mvp who's thrown for like two hundred yards in the fourth.

01:50:20
Speaker 2: Quarter SO i thought that decision was.

01:50:23
Speaker 1: Terrible and it doesn't take away the beauty of that thirty two yard throw To Josh palmer From Josh allen's that set up the game winning field, goal because that was just a layered throw Pass Gire alexander THAT i thought was just. Awesome And Josh allen made a lot of really smart decisions. Tonight you made a lot of accurate throws and that was the best. One followed it up with a seam To Kean coleman that set up the game. Winner so you don't want to take anything away from. There BUT i don't think The ravens coaching staff ultimately leaned into their. Strengths they leaned into what was a weakness there on the.

01:50:55
Speaker 5: Defense, yeah the, numbers at least the Next gen stats model said it was a toss up by. One so at that point you go with your gut and you go with being aggressive given the fact that things are Going buffalo's, way let's end this right.

01:51:06
Speaker 6: Now and they, didn't and they'll learn from.

01:51:08
Speaker 3: That and you, know.

01:51:09
Speaker 5: Traditionally people would punt. There you go back ten twenty. Years everybody's putting. There but he should have taken a. Page you had one more opportunity to make, up As Todd munkin's offensive coordinating decisions kind of put them in that. Situation you had one more play to make up for not going to your best player on, first, second and third. Down well you did on third, down but it was a short pass and you had fourth down to do. It you should have taken a page out of your old offensive, Coordinator Greg roman's. Playbook what did The chargers do in a similar situation On friday?

01:51:35
Speaker 7: Night they threw the.

01:51:36
Speaker 5: Ball they put it in Justin herbert's. Hands why did you do it With Lamar jackson's one thing they're going to?

01:51:40
Speaker 2: Regret it looks so easy all.

01:51:42
Speaker 1: Night when they called a run For Lamar, jackson he ended up with six for seventy on the.

01:51:48
Speaker 2: Ground how efficient is?

01:51:49
Speaker 1: That every time they essentially called a run pass option and he pulled it and kept the. Ball he ended up with a big. Run it was incredible Efficient Derrick. Henry LIKE i mentioned one's sixty nine on the. Ground you, know early in the fourth quarter they had sixteen plays over ten, yards eight over twenty and that was only out about like forty something. Plays it was an incredibly impressive performance by The ravens offense until it. Wasn't and you mentioned the Next Gen stats model only giving it like a small go. Situation you, know we have a dorkoff because you know THE espn model run By Brian burke had it at that strong like plus eight.

01:52:32
Speaker 2: Percent so you, know different models dorkoff see things.

01:52:37
Speaker 1: Differently i'm a dork so THAT i can say that it's only week, one it really is only week.

01:52:45
Speaker 7: ONE i MEAN.

01:52:48
Speaker 2: I think that will. Sting we'll remember that game all.

01:52:51
Speaker 1: Season it doesn't change HOW i felt about these two teams really going into the, game BUT i know it's gonna make Our bills fan Producer Eric roberts feel. Differently as he's driving home, TONIGHT i mean he had to suffer Through, yamamoto you, know losing The. No hitter and then four straight runs On saturday night with two outs in the ninth and he gets it all back and then some with The. Bills i'm not going to SAY i would have left the, stadium BUT i did give up on this game several points throughout the.

01:53:21
Speaker 2: Night you, Know, yeah that's that was gonna.

01:53:23
Speaker 5: Be my question is would you have left the stadium Because i'm feeling this is that one point toss up right.

01:53:28
Speaker 25: Now i'm definitely not an early, lever even if a team is getting. WAXED i, MEAN i my, glory My bills fandom. MOMENTS i sat through The Nathan peterman five interception game from kickoff tend the whole, game was there in that soccer stadium watching that.

01:53:41
Speaker 2: Game but, YES i.

01:53:42
Speaker 25: WOULD i gave up several, times AND i, definitely you, know deep down The bills fan inside of, me they set up for that field goal And i'm, like he's gonna miss.

01:53:50
Speaker 2: It i've seen. Them i've seen them miss it in the sitation new. ERA i know they haven't gotten over the.

01:53:54
Speaker 1: Top and this was actually their first win coming back from fifteen plus in the fourth quarter since nineteen sixty, seven which is just. Outrageous but it is a new era with These Buffalo. Bills and then the game was never quite. Over even though there were multiple Times i'm With, Shook i'm with, You, eric there was always a like A it was always two scores with some time, left and when they got that three and, out it started a process of a game we're going to be talking about really for the rest of the. Season what a, day what a game to finish it, Up, SHOOK i got.

01:54:30
Speaker 6: One more note for.

01:54:31
Speaker 5: You according TO nfl, research teams with forty plus points and two hundred and thirty five or more rushing yards in a game where two hundred and seventy seven and zero including the playoffs entering, today they're now two hundred and seventy seven and.

01:54:42
Speaker 1: One that's why the models all had The ravens with a ninety nine point one percent chance to win at various. Points there was one at six, minutes one at two, minutes and that's why they play the. Game what a beautiful game it is that we get to. COVER i am so excited to do seventeen more weeks of this Unreal.

01:55:05
Speaker 2: We won't be long, Gone.

01:55:07
Speaker 1: Shuck we will be back Talking Monday night football in just twenty four. HOURS i SAID i wasn't gonna say it. Again but when The bills make a historic come back and send us all home and like, Ecstasy football's.

01:55:23
Speaker 23: Back
