Eagles-Texans Recap + Week 9 Odds & Ends (Friday Fun Show)

00:00:11
Speaker 1: Hello, and welcome to another edition of The Friday Fun Show. It's a working title on Dan Hansas. This is your week nine guide to everything that's happening in our league. I got some heroes here, Greg Rosenthal, Mark Sessler, and back Rachel Buna. Uh what's up gang? Hey guys, thanks for having me back. I had to get rid of the banks. I died them. I know, I probably people don't care, but I feel like I needed to update everyone I didched the banks. It's also why you should be watching us on YouTube. That way you can leave a comment and you can see Rachel moving to the beach as this as the show starts, you know, like the the cliche like, oh yeah, he got sent to prison, but it was a country club prison where they played tennis. Mark now has the expert Sure microphone in his jail cell, so it suggests that he's in a country club prison of sorts, which is not a terrible way to write out your sentence. Now, I think, actually like prison would suit me because it's like, what do you do? You probably lift weights and read books all day long and like eat simple foods. I I could get down with that situation. I sometimes think about this, like when Orange Is the New Black was like a very popular show. I thought, could I do this? And like, I think I would just have to throw myself into like a new skill or like just becoming incredibly smart. I think I could do it. It's it's not for every personality type. I don't see Dan as a as a happy prisoner, but um, others perhaps roll right into it. Congratulations, you would be a happy prisoner. Now. I like freedom, That's where I'm at. But I understand the general take there that it would narrow um distractions, as it were, and force you to focus on things. Otherwise, you know, your mind would be too cluttered. I think I get that. Yeah, I think you might. I wouldn't depend on what prison you you went to. You might have other distractions. Mark would absolutely be the guy who like commits a crime a week before he sets to get out because he wants to stay. He's just at home there, he's oh, he just like he's really taken to the food. You don't understand the outside. That's the real prison man. Um. All right, coming up on today's show, Yes, this is the primer for week nine. Kind of um, we will have a fearless prediction to come. For Sunday and Monday, we will also um have a standalone monologue presented by none other than Greg Rosenthal, who has a lot. He has a lot to um live up to after his instantly iconic pickleball takedown of last month. So that's coming up. But the four we get to any of those things. Let's uh take care of the business of the first game of week nine, Thursday Night football got double tight end there saw Purts kids it off though he hasn't he fights, he throws to let's cover sure it's fine enough, highlight and then not suits the game. I feel like grand slam Merril Reese with it called w I P. It wasn't a thing of beauty, but the Eagles didn't need to author a thing of beauty. On Thursday Night, taking care of the Texans twenty nine seventeen in Houston, Jalen hurts two more touchdowns, including that electrifying score to Dallas Goddard Um Eagles roll up a hundred and forty three on the ground. They gotta a very early deficit and generally Mark Sessler take care of business. There are gonna be games like this where you don't play your best, but when you're this good, you could still win and cover, as Al Michael's will tell you. Yeah, I thought, if if anything it was, it was exactly that. Like they kind of showed like we don't need to play our A plus game and we can maybe win a game without employing all our stars too high heavens like a J. Brown of the touchdown catch and another big catch, but DeVonta Smith was almost invisible in this and they opened the game with that eight team play. I love this opening drives an eight team play, nine one yard march that went eight plus minutes and like Jack Stole had the biggest gain on the thing. It's like they can use all these different people and I think that, like it's another reminder for me that Nick Sirianni continues to fly under the radar as this coach that we kept talking about. It was, it's like a reverse fortunes. Like what happened to the Eagles offense a couple of years ago, Well Frank Reich left and they were never the same. Well, now what happened to the Colts offense, Well, Nick Sirianni left and went to Philadelphia and they've never been the same. So I just look at I look at what the Eagles were able to do week to week and their defense too. I mean, they're just they're find they find different ways to win. I don't see a weakness on the team. I like, I'm not remotely concerned about what was going on here. They moved the ball that there was only three drives for each team in the first half. Essentially this was a Sessler fever dream. The game ended an eight oh five Pacific that's two hours and fifty minutes for this game. I mean, this was like long drives and everyone was done so you could just switch to the World Series. I feel bad because, like Jalen Hurts and Jason Kelsey apparently had a really great moment on the Amazon set after Yeah, where they're singing the fight song. It's like nobody watched that live. I guess that's the purpose of social media. You can see it later because by then it was like a Thanning and Phillies fans are biting their nails. I just feel like at this point, if I was an Eagles fan, also shout out to my favorite one. If I was an Eagles fan, I just want the Eagles to lose one, like I feel like that there there's so much pressure that is mounting to continue you to be absolutely perfect, and I feel like going into this game. On my podcast we broke down the rest of their season, I was like, winnable, winnable, winnable, winnable, and then last night I was just like, oh, they look like a little a little human in some aspects. I feel like they just they should have just taken this, gotten that off their backs, gone on. This should not be the right one. We all know that the Eagles are better than the Texans. It's fine, there was no panic button. We're like, Okay, they just needed to get that l out and then they can go on and they can go and win the super Bowl. It's kind of a star take rage. But I also know what you're saying that maybe it will service some type of leveling or balancing, if you will. I don't know. UM. I think that they're a team that, like we talked about, leading into this game, it's gonna be a while before it even feels like they're being challenged. And and Connie has talked about this was obviously a big Eagles fan that there's some concern that they'll get lulled into a false sense of security and then when a big matchup happens, they kind of get caught flat footed. I wouldn't worry about it. As long as Jalen Hurts keeps playing at this level and all the pieces of this team are humming and they stay relatively healthy, They're gonna be fine. I was actually kind of proud of the Texans a little bit. I hope the archer Brandon Cooks was watching this game and thinking to himself, I know they've done me dirty and they should have traded me. But look at these guys fighting out here, uh you know, getting out to the early lead, keeping things uh somewhat close, so that everyone wasn't flipping over to the other Philadelphia sports team playing in the World Series. And and Damian Pierce, you know, he's a great player. He had a hundred and thirty nine yards in this game. So if you want to look at like maybe the Eagles run defense, they struggle especially after contact. This so one stat that they do not measure up well in terms of against physical runners. Maybe that's something for Grave Digger to think about come Super Bowl Sunday, Titans Eagles. I don't know. I think they missed Davis too. I mean like that Jordan Davis would fill that spot against the run, and they were vulnerable last night. That's why I think when you play certain other teams, that's one thing to check out. Well. They have one of the worst run defenses in the league by almost any metric other than raw yards, because they're always ahead on paper, Like their e p a allowed per rush is terrible. Uh, you kind of saw it last night. That's how you beat them. But they've played with the lead so much that and when they've trailed, they've like caught up so quickly like against the Jaguars, that it's never really hurt them. But that that could be a little weakness like late, there were little moments there. Davis Mills played uh pretty well in this game, but it was like an until the interceptions at the end. But he made a lot of nice throws, Like I was like, this is the best game from one like draft pick at quarterback other than fields in the last month for a while. And then he threw those interceptions. But the this was an ultimate Prime Vision game. My son's very into the Prime Vision that shows the next gen stats and like the player's name bubble from the coaches film view, and so that's that's what we watch at the house. And when you watch the Eagles, every receiver's wide open, like Jalen Hurts in that eight ten play drive, like missed two wide open throws by like ten yards, and it didn't matter, like Tom Brady must be home watching Prime Vision and being like, give me one play where that many receivers are wide open, Like everyone's wide open. But we were watching um because the game felt of little consequence ultimately to me. The entire time, we were watching some of the Dude Perfect telecast on Amazon with the boys, and they particularly enjoyed the part of the game where no, just kidding. The only thing they cared about was they did a whole segment where they put a cookie on their like orbital bone and then try to like work it down into their mouth. That was That was what my kids took out of. Isn't Dax supposed to be doing one of the Dude Perfect ones? Did that? Lamb? I have bad? Like I tried to keep I just didn't. I wanted to make sure Walker did not know about that because I just felt like going into a wormhole of Dude Perfect for three years, and I mean, you're very controlling. It sounds about what content your child is absorbed. He's like eight years old and he's dealing with next gens stats. I mean that he's the one I try to get it back. And they're pretty wholesome dudes. It's not like they're not perfect, but the whole Should they change their names to wholesome dudes? Can? I can? I This is not a physical takedown of the man, because I don't believe in that necessarily, But I just want to ask the question about David's mills. Does he have a big neck or a small head or is it the situation where he has a big neck and a small head. M My guess is it's a big neck, normal head, long neck, normal head. It's not just a long neck, it's a it's a girthy neck. Yeah, it's pretty thick. I hate. I mean, he's out there like with Philip Dorsett as his starting receiver and Chris Moore and Tyron Johnson. I give him some credit just for just for making it. I'm just saying, like Glennon's situation, it's not it's not a glen that he looks like his face almost doesn't fit onto his neck. It's almost like there's a like an in motion live photo shop going on a little bit with him. If I were him, I'd just be always wearing slimming turtleneckx Is that an option during an NFL game? Why not? Good? Why not be warm? Hold on? I have a I have a question for you guys. Uh, Greg, you mentioned that Jalen Hurts and Jason Kelsey like lad this whole fly Eagles Fly song after the game. The fans are obviously so stoked that they're still in a few to date. No, but would you be that stoked if you almost lost to the Texans? Like I'd be like, cool, that was terrifying. What I mean, they didn't know. I'm just sorry I didn't lose. It was a very close game for a lot of the game, is what I meant to say. You know what I mean. I'm and they probably should have absolutely been smashing them the whole time. You got to enjoy the moment right now. I think That's where I'm at as a sports fan. You gotta enjoy it while last, you know, because it might not last. Rachel, you mentioned that the loss might be coming like like that they might only have one more night left of Philadelphia being on top of the sports world here if they lose the World Series. So it's like enjoy it, like he you know, the real, the real story. Marcus. I tried to change it to like the normal one, and he insists on that he loved the numbers and the time. It's like, daddy, Daddy, can I watch the alternate tellcast that's geared towards young boys? No, son, look at the data. Let it wash over you. I mean, he's just not aware of dude perfect, so he wouldn't know he does he does, you know, openly despise the man in cast and uh won't won't want All right, let's pause right here and take a break. We'll be right back. Alright, great digger, where are you at? What's up? Hey, buddy? Um, before we get you, get to um some listener feedback on the live stream, which everybody that's on right now, thank you so much. Justin is in a Yes, Justin is in a Justin is drunk in a hotel room right now, Um, somewhere in the middle of America. And UM, I have a take I want to share with you guys, And let me know if I'm off based on this, and Justin I know, I want to preface this by saying, this is not an attack on the people connected to the event that you're attending this weekend directly because I don't know them, and he said they don't listen to the show anyway, so we're clear. Um, Justin Graver Um is right now in a hotel room in Kansas where he is preparing to serve as the best man in a wedding ceremony, which is very nice and very cool. Again, we've had the conversation about Justin being a best man, and we got it to the debate about how long the speech should be, but it also is kind of a It's pretty cool and it shows Graver is a man of integrity that he's the best man in two weddings in the span of a few months. Now, that's not my point. My point is I was made aware yesterday by our producer that the Um couple involved here, the main couple UM, actually did get married in Hawaii earlier this year in a quote unquote impromptu fashion where they were on vacation and they decided to have a quick ceremony and they said we're married. Now here's my issue. Great Digger is the best man? Okay, why isn't the best man? Don't hit me with this. It was impromptu. You put Justin on a plane to Hawaii, not a plane to Kansas in November for oh ceremony. I have an issue with this entire setup that someone said it. Thank you, it's fair. It's very fairy, you know, young love? How do you how do you stop it from from carrying out? It's what a quote? Justin? Have you written? Is that all done? I wrote my speech on the plane. I think it's a little shorter than last time because last time I rehearsed it and it was four minutes in rehearsal and then it was actually seven minutes in life. So this time my rehearsal outside right, of course. Minutes is where you want to be at what hour this morning? And I'd like a specific time. Did you start drinking whiskey straight from a bottle? I have not drank anything today except for coffee because I'm a professional. And this is where can I tell you guys? Can I tell you guys a quick horror story from a wedding that I went to, Like the worst speech I've ever heard in my life. Okay, my cousin was getting married to this woman, let's call her Cindy. My uncle, unrelated unprompted, stood up and was like, I want to give a speech. And this uncle's a little chatty, so we were all like, this is gonna begein. So he gets up there. We have this family cottage that we would all go to every summer, and in the cottage there was a sauna in the boat house. I know that sounds bougie was literally made of tinfoil. Don't think it's bougie at all. And there was a window looking into the sauna. Okay, so apparently Cindy had her bachelorette party at the cottage. All the girls they're in the sauna that my uncle is telling this story about how he didn't know. He went downstairs, he saw them all in the sauna and he said, and Cindy, they were spectacular, meaning he was insinuating. But her balloons in the wind. Oh my god. The girls were in the bathroom crying all night. I was on the dance floor with my Cranberry mom coming like mommyam, it's crazy. Don't don't do that. Don't do that, Okay, No, I'll give a speech when the time is right. I don't think anyone should ever speak at a wedding if they haven't been asked to speak. But I don't know. Sometimes you get a wild card and they can be a lot of fun. Wait and so if it's not a wedding, though, it is confusing that you're the best man. I was at a similar setup where it was like a party where they got married, but only with like six people there their parents, and then they had a party and the party was, you know, in Malibu, so that's nice, but it wasn't in Hawaii, which is where their actual wedding was. And he did ask me to speak, but I was not the best Like, there was no best man. There was a couple of people. Because I at that point, it's not a it's not a wedding. I don't feel like you're getting the same. It's a party. So I am still going to stand up there during a ceremony hand the rings over. Okay, he didn't do a ceremony. They did like they did a ceremony in Hawaiian and they're doing it again. I actually have a joke about it in my speech that my cousin working out you're working out a runner during here? How's this? How's this for a joke? He cares about her so much he's marrying her twice. Oh boy, But don't say it that way. Okay. So it's about like, what do these people have a lot of um associate slash friends? I mean, I I trust that you've become a best man twice because you are that kind of the content is inside of you. But like, um, what kind of like balloon of friends? Do they have content? Why do you say balloon? Mark? What are you thinking about? I don't think Mark? Um? Yeah, No, they have lots of friends. Actually that might be why I was chosen because it's like for this wedding, I'm his cousin. So it's like, oh, no, one's gonna get upset with picking the cousin. All right, we gotta keep moving here. Do we have anything from the viewers on the live stream? Uh? That's worth of them? Is Mark still in prison? The Baker vacation that we covered at the top of the show, it's a country club where he's able to import an eight dollar mike so obviously has strong WiFi as well. So that's good. What else we got? Did everyone see how he yelling at the Eagles fans? I did see that life. Um it was Mark you you said it to us, right, yeah, all right, you want to share this one? Well there there, I mean it was there was signage that someone had a sign about like we forgive you for all the bad draft picks or something, and he walked up and basically said, um, excuse me, you forgive me for bringing you like your first effing super Bowl. And you know how he wrote He's not a large man, but he was sort of he just grew inside as he said it to this like outcast fan and then just marched off and it was like, you know what, you also brought them Robert Quinn, C. J. Gardner Johnson this season he was five interceptions. I think he's doing a pretty good job. It's absolutely a ridiculous son. He also ended it with an fu directly to the fan, and he was he was smiling, joking about it, but also very clear that it kind of got under his skin and he kind of like kind of really gave it to the dude. Um, that's you know, I don't know Philly fans around my radar a little bit in general lately. Um, the amazing that your team would be eight no. Uh, And yes, he is the GM responsible for your first Super Bowl title a few years ago, and you would make a sign forgiving him for the couple of years where you were merely just a competitive team on the rise before you were undefeated. For come on, clean it up. This one is for Dan, although you might just want to direct them to the Power Rankings podcast if you don't feel like I'm sure right, Why are the four and four Bengals without Jamar Chase ranked higher than the six and two Giants? They are the Power Rankings, not the Power Standings. The Bengals drop five spots. I'm not a huge believer in the Giants is a superpower and I need to see Cincinnati again without Jamaar Chase before I dipped them into the middle of the league. Simple as that, we just miss somebody calling Marcus Zaddi. You don't want to give Marcus flowers and call that moment out Zadi. I mean we know that he's a zadd Is that a jail term. Dan has a very specific Zaddi guidelines, and I don't think that I fall into Dan's specific Zaddi Daddy. So I don't know if you want to be under his guidelines, you can be under mine. I think you're looking very zaddy today. I don't remember stand why anybody would have anything, anybody would judge anyone else's like zaddi um rules or judgments. I mean, just let everyone have their own Zaddi's. But wait, but guines, you can have your own guidelines. I'm not I'm suggesting that. I don't think when you look at me when we're in office, I don't think that what comes out of your head is that's a Zaddy over there sitting next to me in the cubicle farm. Are you sure? I don't know. I just I suspect that I don't know. You're right, I don't know. Blake Wingo, which NFC preseason favorite team is most likely to miss the playoffs? Ramsay, my lock's got to be right this week. But I'm going rams after they lose to the bus because they're not. They're not going to be saved by the NFC South. Did you see McVeigh was just like, I'm out once these like main guys are out, like I don't want to coach the same what a weird thing to say. Yeah, I mean, I don't think he said it out loud, but yeah, there were sources for Albert Brier. There's some there's some weird energy like talking it's about me, but it's not about me. It's about Greg Rosatal. Yeah, you know, finally, um a chance to express my opinions about football into a microphone this week waiting, I'm gonna talk about um my cadence rankings because I brought up, uh what a surprisingly good cadence Sam Ellinger had on Thursday show, and the world just went crazy. My Twitter feed, I'm sure Reddit was on fire. People just wanted to know, like, what are your cadence rankings? Uh for two thousand in twenty two? Just like how how the quarterback sounds right before the snap as he's making a little call. First First, what you don't want with cadence. You don't want screechy um like Brady and Garoppolo. It's almost like they learned it from each other. They're they're both kind of screechy. You don't like that. You don't want it to be like too quick, like Zach Wilson sounds like kind of like a yapping dog. Uh, and then you also don't want it to be leading like some of the cadence is almost they're almost in like the form of a question at the end where that gets you know, you don't want that. You wanted to be authoritative, uh and strong. And that's why Derek Carr is my number five guy. I always find a very authoritative like I'm the boss, You're going to do what I'm going to say, a good like timber in his voice. I'm gonna put Joe Flacco at number four because he did start this year one of the all time greats, maybe not at his peak form, but like that base, just like echoes throughout the stadium. I think, one of the great cadences of all time. And uh, Lamar Jackson learned from him, and so I'm gonna put Lamar at number three because what Lamar has and maybe he got this from Fla. He doesn't sound like he actually talked. He growls. It doesn't sound like a normal voice, but it's deep. It's like a growl and you enjoy hearing it. Number two on the list, another long time favorite, Jacoby Brisset. Another great bass in his voice. You can hear it throughout the stadium. He was having fun the other night too against the Bengals too, like he's not afraid to get wacky and do some comedy. Was like fifty five, I'm gonna get you Like that was great. It was just like, really, he's like the guy with the cane from Boys to Men's wonderful. Honestly, maybe he should be number one, but I'm gonna give Aaron Rodgers his flowers. I just think Aaron Rodgers, you remember it. It's full throated, it's iconic, Like the actual calls that he makes are iconic and you can hear it at the top of the stadium. And the fact that he's also an all time great quarterback doesn't help. But I think he's an all time great cadence guy at the line of scriment. So Aaron Rodgers still number one on my list. Wow, and you enjoyed that, thank you great cadence while he's yelling at his teammates as well. It's not about the personality, it's just as performance. Which hero would have the best cadence? Um, I don't want to I don't want to pat myself on the back, but I inherited my dad's like father boys and I got a real growl, especially if you get me fired up. So I feel like I would really be able to get over a huddle. UM. I would love to hear everyone's though. That would be cool. I would I would vote for Dan. I think yeah, I think I mean I've gotten here Rachel. I think I'd be supportive and quirky. I think I'd keep it light. Let me let me try. People would enjoy I've been doing this um for like twenty years, like playing with my friends or sons. I'll the my wat'ch the mic what's the mic omaha? Like that okay receiver up the middle. That's one of the things I'm impressed with. Like with Jacobeaid was like, don't doesn't your voice get tired? At some point? I would be last than my cadience rankings. That's one of the reasons I hate listening to our podcast or watching uh any television shows. It would be that high pitched, screechy voice. Though you know, I'm sorry if I missed it, but did you mention Mahomes? Because Mahomes doesn't have your traditional QB speaking voice, and he signed, he signs sounds just fine. At Arrowhead. He does a good job changing it. He didn't crack my top five. Shout out to the guy on Twitter who's cadence guy? I mean on YouTube. There's a guy who just puts up people's cadences for a minute, and it really helped me do my homework for this year. What's Russ is like, I feel like kids would be weird, he would get weird with him. Inspirational just he's pretty good. He has a nice deep voice. He's goods all right. By the way, a man named Roland thought I sounded hot there. It is what it is, rather it be connected to bob bab balloons, but it is what it is. Um a boob balloons. I can honestly say I've never heard that one. But for alright, um, let's get to the Greg Rosenthal Week nine presented by Akrash your pitple cream for teams that does not work? Uh, Corey Davis, bad news for your Jets is out again. I guess good news for your jets if you're into other people getting hurt. Jordan Poyer is going to be out for the Bills. But Matt Mulano, my guy practice this week, looks like he will play Jarvis Landry has been back at practice this week. A little more on the Saints and in a second, Alan Lazard and Christian Watson on tracked to return for the Packers. Ryan tan Hill missed practice completely on Thursday after Grave Diggers swung and miss on tannehill status last week again might happen, we'll see. Jonathan Taylor missed all three practices this week. He's officially out, making your locks look even better for the Patriots. Johan Dotson's out this week again. Looks like Cam Akers is gonna be back. The Bengals lost another cornerback, Mike Hilton is out this week in addition to a Woozier and Apple that's bad news. Chase Young is still out, but he's getting closer. Cambray and Antoine Winfield are out for the Bucks. A J. Terrell, their best cornerback on the Falcons, out again, Cuba Harvard out for the Panthers, and Damen Harris looks like he's gonna be out again for the Patriots. And then finally we got some longer term injury news and I'll throw this to you guys. Rashad Bateman and Michael Thomas are both out for the season and this happened right after our Thursday podcast. What what a disaster for both of these teams. Starting I guess with Thomas is just like heartbreaking. Michael Thomas thing was weird. Um, he got off to a great start this season, looked like Michael Thomas after missing basically two years with an ankle injury, and then it's a very kind of nebulos foot injury designation never goes on i R. And then after missing what six games or so seven games, Um announces that it's a toe injury that needs surgery and he's done for the year. So a real bummer. Greg. I'm interested in your thought on this, just because you had said do you think the Saints kind of didn't dirty? I was curious how you thought. I just wouldn't be surprised, Um, if more comes out here. You remember when Michael Thomas was upset with the Saints about the last set of surgeries. There's just talk in New Orleans that did they diagnose this correctly? From from the get go, he wasn't placed on injured reserve. Pretty very recently, Dennis Allen said he expected him back maybe that week. Then he goes out to practice. Reporters saw it he had his helmet on, and then they declared that he was out. Uh, even though they saw him at practice, it wasn't always announced as a toe injury before it was said as an ankle I. I my heart breaks for him because his career has been in trouble. But it just feels like there's a little more to the story that it wouldn't surprise me if some of our insiders end up diving into and Uh. It sucks because you kind of think this is probably it for him in New Orleans too, that is probably the end of his contract. And Rashad Bateman one, that's a that's a tough one for the Ravens and puts them in a very difficult position. Now, um Mark Andrews better be healthy. I mean, he's got a knee and shoulder issue. Um Lamark can do a lot, but he can't do at all. So tough situation there. You'd like to think the Ravens would have wished they would have known this a week ago when they could have gone and I mean they're gonna right, they knew he could hang up that front again out for the season. I don't know. I'm not sure if that was so clear because it was a surprise to us. But um, they could have gone and swung a deal for someone because I think there's they already were so limited through the air and to take him out, I mean, he need a couple of big plays early in the season. It's just like there aren't that many options for Lamar Jackson through the sky. What happens in prison? Mark when someone suffers an injury, like a Liz Frank type injury, that's scorpion Harlott is there? Do you do people feel for them? Do they get a little um, a little distance, or do they become weak and susceptible to being picked on in the hard scrabbles. Um, it's a trench and it's a trench and question by you, Dan, and I would say that, Um, in the in the prison that I'm at, everyone sort of just they gather around that person. Um, you know, emotionally, spiritually, it's a very it's a supportive environment. It's a supportive community, a brotherhood. You guys, I think this is a secret little thing. I think you do get her and then you got to go into a private little hospital wing of the jail and then you just get you know, feed up, baby, you're hanging. Maybe there's even a TV in there. I think that's actually the play, like the Greenwich, Connecticut Reform Dormitory. All right, let's get to our fearless predictions before we say goodbye. But before we do that, let's cycle back to our predictions from last week, starting with great Digger. Jump in here, starting with uh Mark Sessler. Mark had some predictions last week that we're pretty crazy as usual, I think. Um. His first one was that there would be three forty burgers dropped. There was one forty burger, so pretty close, um, but not three. Falcon scored thirty seven points, Eagles score thirty five points, so a couple of teams close. But he had the Cowboys at forty. And then Mark had uh in any official faints. I'm not aware of any official fainting, although her own burger did call the Seahawks the Mariners, so maybe that was like a fainting spell that I think we don't give credit to Mark for either of those two. Greg said that mac Jones would be judged by a panel of Friday Fun Show hosts to have played pretty well in a win over the Jets, and Greg himself said on Thursday and Tuesday and other times this week that if that pick six had stood, we would be talking very differently about Mac Jones, So I would say he probably did not played pretty well Greg that I don't think we even need the panel of jeguts. That's an over five, but the win. Yeah, Clay Bond had that the Giants score under twenty one points versus the Seahawks. The Giants did score under twenty one points Seahawks one. So a little bit of a Shallott hanger, but that's correct. And and and finally, the old zeuser would like to channel my distressed spirit animal um ALC. Baldwin from the medical thriller Malice before we get to my prediction from last week. You ask me if I have a God complex, let me tell you something. I am God to a tonguea voloa prediction yards passing, three touchdowns, win got them all, check mark check mark check mark profile encouraged picking against the team of around the NFL last ranked defense, Detroit Lions and Emmanuel Acco, the guy that went off about two of being better than Herbert. The prediction was, it's going to give more fuel to his fire and the people of his ilk which certainly has now before we go make our predictions, Rachel, get us going. I think that Aaron Rodgers is going to walk out with some stage. He's gonna light at the middle of the field. He's going to think that that's going to cleanse him of all the demons that this team is going through. It doesn't work. The Lions beat the bad guys and throws a fit, throws a dang thing the game, and I am going to be can't wait. So the prediction is Aaron Rodgers goes, you know, offense a temper tantrum after a loss or during a loss to the Lions. I love it. That's a good one, Marky Mark all right. Um, I collected a series of visions during the evening into morning hours, and number one the Titans. The Titans will beat the Chiefs by ten plus points. Um lock it up on that one too. Dan will turn full villain on Zach Wilson by Sunday at sundown full villain. Uh. Three Greg will eat cottage cheese at some point during the weekend. That is what I'm calling my sports lock of the weekend. And four um Bonetta will hike Runyon Canyon alone on Saturday morning and encounter Diego Luna, the title character from Disney Plus is critically acclaimed and Or series. It's a timely meeting because Diego's puppy, October Sparkles, has a fever. The small dog is panting and feeling lost to the animal world. Vanetta will save the dog and the day by providing SmartWater to October October Sparkles. Diego Luna will then return the favor by casting Vanetta in season two of and Or as a character named and She Nine, a fierce, freewheeling no code bounty hunter on a mission to eradicate a young Princess Leia from existence. So Greg, I don't think she's going to be appearing on game debut any anytime sooner. It was so insane that Rachel's screen just went to blasts that she's done with done with NFL content. Now that this is Rachel exploded with the rest of her home. It's a smart way to go out. I mean she's getting that Apple TV money or wherever that is. I don't know. I don't know why I didn't have Marco last. Rachel just texted computer died. I think Mark killed their computer. Um what's your prediction, Greg, I mean market needs to go last on all these I I do like cotta cheese, Mark, but it just hasn't it hasn't crossed my path. I would say maybe in years or months. It's been a horrible Rachel, you're back. You have not left the company already to go work for and or or what's going on. I actually wanted to get ahead story. I wanted to go to running in a SAP so I could go and save this little dog and be cast in this Disney plush show. I love that. Also, I'm gonna be in Germany, so there's no way that that can happen. Sorry, already got to give him an X, but that's not really the point. Um, go ahead, Greg, Okay. My prediction is the Falcons will rush for at least two hundred and seventeen yards this weekend, including a great performance by Tyler Algier. But Mark will still not have a response from the committee to determine if that's his guy. So Mark's actually not allowed to enjoy that. Tyler Algier outing utterly, utterly absurd, a clown show. I hate the processing of it all. It's because you wanted to be something that you to spur the moment and enjoy that moment, but it's just not there yet. Yeah finally, UM. Football Outsiders had this tweet this morning. The Los Angeles Chargers ranks sixteen and total uh, offensive and defensive d B O A and UM. That makes them essentially the Dalton scale of teams in the NFL. They are just the prime meridian. And like I said on Thursday, without knowing this data from Football Outsiders, they make much more sense as a team that's five than one that's two games above. They will lose this weekend and match up with the Football Outsiders data. Sorry, Rache, I know they're your quote unquote team, but they're going down this weekend. They are exceedingly mediocre. Whoa dan hitter with the quote unquote team of not even taking it seriously. I took it seriously. I just throw some regrets there, some regrets. Um, all right, thank you everybody for watching along on the stream. Thank you to Rachel Bonetta for joining us, and good luck in Germany. Have a great time deliver the content that is demanded of you by Roger Goodell himself. UM and everybody enjoyed the games on Sunday, we'll be back Sunday night with the Flagship show. Till then he the call.
