Have you ever been on a date where it feels like the other person is speaking an entirely different language, not actually a different language? But it's like you're both just completely not getting each other.

And it showed finding someone who gets you is hard, right?

It's the time to move how you want, enhance your fitness journey and feel like your most empowered self.

Welcome to part of my take. Today is Monday, December 11th, Week 14..

Working so hard like a soldier.

Some spread now go get up, tick, tick, tick, tick, tick, tick, tick, tick, tick, tick, tick, tick, tick. Hank's taking pictures of us, Teej. We start in the Windy City, where DJ Mandy Moore took a walk to remember into the end zone for an early Bears lead.

You playing with flack that ass up, Trevor Bauer. Lawrence's injuries were not nearly the same as.

Originally reported in the media as he connected twice with the Goat. See Evan Ingram. To really stretch out the Browns red zone, Kevin Spacey Stepanski took advantage of the young Jags D. And don't tell nobody, but Cleveland is thanking y'alls. The Browns 31, the Jaguars 27 playoffs.

Whole bunch of speed as Todd Poles stood absolutely still, like a Hank Lockwood-designed parking lot.

And let Arthur Smith's team drive right into him. Bucs win 29-25. Going over to the AFC East, we have our correspondent means in the Meadowlands. We head to a soggy Metlife stadium, where Zach Wilson said, I'm tired of this. GRAN SALAH Well, that's too damn bad.

Came out firing in the first drive and hit D.K. Adams Metcalf for a touchdown. Trying to shut the door on the Niners. Like it was an oversized suitcase placebo, Samuel said. I want you to take two and call me in the morning, as he gave the Seahawks a heavy dose of ass-whooping the Niners.

28.

You know, the, you know, the bills are. They're building seven games in the win column. Now. That's what Chris Alex Jones was saying. And if it wasn't for that Patriot Act in late October, they would be in the playoffs. Meanwhile, Roger Goodell loves it. He loves the bills.

Thank you, Patrick. That was Patrick. Mahomes from the sideline. Bills 20, Chiefs 17..

Rest of the year, yeah, I just love the people with dowels. It's a great fan base, great fans.

You do, yeah, you certainly do, by the way, you show them a lot of affection. Yeah, no.

That's great. I just kind of realized it was fun last year and I'm ready to get back on and ride.

Why aren't you wearing the outfit, though? Where are the Jorts? The Jordans? I don't know where.

The Jorts are, the Jordans are in my apartment, Shane has the DAK jersey, I probably have to get some. I'm gonna get some new gear though.

Yeah, you filthy animal. That's the season, it's time to ride our boys. I love it.

Max If the Eagles can't have a heroic comeback. So the Cowboys just punted and that was their first time punting the ball in, I believe, 17 drives. So that goes back to Thanksgiving. Their last punt was the third quarter against the Washington Commanders on Thanksgiving, and so the first half was just a butt-kicking. But it looks like the Eagles found a spark. Yeah, they.

Did. Even though Max isn't paying attention to it, Devontae Smith just dropped a touchdown. Make sure you just put memes. Can you cut to Max's face? Just so people can get a sense of the resting cry face that we're looking at? I just want people to be able to see it.

Things that can happen in sports, yeah, and I'd say that this is a moral victory for the Rams, too. Yes, Rams played tough. Rams are probably pretty pumped to go to overtime against the Ravens and they played a good game. It didn't feel like it was a fluke.

That was an unbelievable catch and he's so much fun to watch. And yeah, because we were watching all the games. So then when they show that play and we all gasped at him catching that. And then in slow motion, like, Wait, he's not wearing gloves, what the fuck feels better? Skin on skin? I don't understand that because the way they make the receiver gloves now, it's it is like the easiest thing to catch a ball. Yeah, he's playing the game on expert mode.

Right now, that's how good his rookie season's been. Yeah, but I did, I wrote down Rams played.

Tough like that was a game. We've seen it with the Ravens. They've hosted a couple teams that were quote-unquote for real with the Lions and the Seahawks and absolutely killed them. There was a chance going into this day, where it's like, this could happen again to the Rams. They they went toe to toe with them.

He was college open. Yes, we also had a couple great, just small moments in the game. Lamar kicking the ball into the stands on the safety, he kicked the fuck out of that ball.

Is Lamar ambidextrous? I think so. So that's the second time we've seen him kick a ball.

And they both have been left footed. So I'm pretty sure that Lamar Jackson is better with his offhand than like, 99 of the population is with their strong hand or foot. Because he did.

That I think it was like a year or two ago, it was a play that was whistled dead. And he punted it and he punted it with his left foot, and then tonight today, he punted the or he kicked the safety out with his left foot. He might, he should start throwing left or kicking, well, actually.

No, so Justin Tucker, we said last week, yung Wai Ku surpassed him as the most accurate kicker in the NFL. Tucker took it back, he heard the people talking, he took it back this week.

Ravens I feel like the Ravens are the team in the AFC now. That has maybe the least amount of, because the dolphins, I believe in the dolphins. But you can all make the argument they still have not beaten a team over 500. The Ravens at their best, have looked really, really good. And they also, in a weird twist of fate, seem like the team that is the healthiest. Which is crazy.

Went out with a knee injury, but the quarterback helped. They're getting healthier and they're going to get a big free agent pick up in Andrews at the end of the season. So, yeah, no, I believe in the Ravens.

Gun to my head, Ravens, I think Ravens, their defense. And this is just more of a credit to Sean McVay because it feels like we should do the conversation that this might be Sean McVay's best coaching job. Because it is a group that is not like star-studded, it's not like the Super Bowl team, their defense is a lot of young guys in Aaron Donald.

And they've got draft picks this year, meaning that they're going to have some stuff to bundle.

Up and trade for an active player. I also, Uh, this has nothing to do with the actual football game, but it's just as important. I love when a coach, when there's bad weather, decides to go full on. Deadliest catch outfit, and Sean McVay did that today. He, he had, like the full blue rain suit, um, looking like he was about to, like, like, Perfect Storm just hit the biggest hurricane ever.

So funny, you gotta go one of two ways, I think with it. One I like when you get dressed up in a poncho and you look like you're going to a Gallagher concert. The second way I like is when the coach just pretends that the weather doesn't exist.

Beating the shit out of them every single snow, because then he just turns around and beats the shit out of them. Next time that he has a chance, every time he gets the opportunity, yeah, I think they're like, This is this is nice that we finally have have a chance to beat his ass.

The game plan was, just don't let Aaron Donald beat you. Yeah, that's that's what the Ravens were trying to do with their offensive line. Uh, but yeah, no, I think I think the Ravens are the best team in the AFC. I think I, I would say that they're better than the Dolphins right now.

Touchdown Sorry, yeah. And the Ravens, by the way, they have a a tough schedule coming up, so we'll find out how for real they are. Which I do.

Uh, are you saying if you're another, if you're an NFC team?

No, just in terms of enjoyment of the play, I thought you were doing the you don't want to see them in the play? No, no, no, I'm saying enjoyment of the first round matchups. We the Rams is a team.

Plus, Game Stafford did a a very unnecessary sidearm pass today. He likes to whip that out. It was kind of like a cause.

Let's just do a sidearm pass for no reason. It was kind of a LeBron No look where he does the no. Look where he's looking, and then he just whips his head. At the last second, he kind of did that where he was definitely looking, did a sidearm and then whipped his head around.

See that, no look. But to your point, looking at the NFC, there's really no team that I want to see fill that last spot in the NFC. So if I were to say pick one of them, probably probably the.

RAMS I'm just saying, yeah, enjoyment of watching football. Definitely nobody from the NFC South.

I hope nobody makes it from that division. Yeah, I hope they just eliminate, not Green, but you know.

Who I'd like to see? Yeah, the Chicago Bears, Chicago bears. We can talk about it a little bit, it's possible.

Unlikely, I guess. The real question is, would you rather see the Rams or the Seahawks in the?

Playoffs and the answer is the Rams. The answer is the Rams. The answer is the Rams. Okay.

GAME No true lock, no true lock before a Dolphins tour comes after you. Their win over the Broncos is now against the team over 500. No, they didn't beat a team over 500 at the time.

At the time, Yeah, yeah, that's when it counts, yeah.

Team I mean, it's good at the time. No, you got to. it's it's at the time, at the time, yeah.

No, no, it's gotta be. When you play them, they have to be over 500 because those Broncos were.

Not these Broncos, right? Yeah, but the Broncos gotta be fucking me. That was a flag that was.

A flag, All right, that was a flag. Yeah, no, you have to be over 500 when you play them.

Right, but if it is, if it's college, it's a good win. You're talking a net rating.

Yeah, in terms of the computers, the quad ones, the Quad twos now look favorable.

And you'd be a quad one team by 50.

I mean, the cowboys have gotten bailed out on every fucking drive.

Yeah, that was the cry, that sounded like it was not live Max.

Sounded like it was a Max soundboard.

I would love a Max soundboard. I love the yes, yes he's closing the gap on Marv Albert for.

Best yes. Yeah, we haven't heard any really. In the last two, two weeks. He's been void of yeses.

Yeah, that's we're getting ahead of ourselves a little bit. I think we all just assumed he was going to be started for the rest of the year. I said, out and say it out loud, it's a different.

Thing I said that Kevin's fancy should not have done that. Because the Browns quarterbacking is like the drummer for spinal Tap this year. Where it's like, as soon as you name a starter, they get injured. So I hope that doesn't happen to Joe Flacco. Yeah, but yeah, you could have just.

You could have just let it go. If you're, if you're a Browns quarterback in general, it's like you're an extra. And final destination. Yeah, it's a matter of when, not if. That jersey is going to look six sick with Flacco on it, though, that's a great name to just look back.

On and remember for a while, yeah, and it's also, um, so the Browns now have won a game with four different starters this year. Yeah, that's perseverance.

Joe Flacco was the first Brown to throw three touchdown passes of at least 30 yards in the same game since. Any guess when 1980? Long time, I would not have gone nine. Long time. You remember Brian Sipe? Yep.

Running is well, more than anything. It is the Joe Flacco can, you know, read a defense. He knows when a blitz is coming, like, And I'm not. That's not a knock on D.T.R. and P.J. Walker, but Joe Flacco has seen a lot of football. So, like little things, I think one of those long touchdowns is like a third and one where they tried to blitz. And he saw it and, like, perfectly read it.

I'm excited for Browns fans, they are. Flacco is now 10 and two in that stadium. Wow, and the thing about Joe is, uh, he doesn't really have any emotions whatsoever.

Of that conversation, that's it, that's it, every single time, or no, he won a Super Bowl.

Won a Super Bowl, yeah, but so did Trent Dilfer. And then that's the end of the conversation.

Yeah, it's a you can, you can do, like a chart, yes or no, it always ends up with.

So did Trent Dilfer. It's choose your own adventure in a flow chart, and the last one, Can we make that chart actually your guide to having to talking to your family about Joe Flacco?

This is why we talked about Trent Dilfer flipping out on sidelines. I think that he has rage just because he always is the the ending of the Joe Flacco conversation. Like he, he Trent Dilfer. When he saw Joe Flacco coming back was like, God, fucking damn it. Yeah, now we're going to do this again.

Really, it wasn't me, it was a defense. Yeah, if you look at, like, the outcome of that Super Bowl, the person that had the worst was not Kaepernick, it was not Harbaugh, or I should say, uh, Jim Harbaugh.

Uh, I mean, Joe Flacco was a lot better than than Trent Dilfer, way better that pass he made.

In Denver, way better. But yeah, I the Browns are for real now the Jaguars on the other side.

Uh, their defense has gone away. That was the thing that, you know. I think a lot of people early in the season like, Wow, the Jags defense, like it's paired with Trevor Lawrence and Trevor wasn't good today. I don't. I still don't know what happened with his ankle. It felt like maybe he shouldn't have played because he didn't play well. He played well at the end.

I was going to say, the reason why we're having that conversation about the Jag. We shouldn't be talking about the Jaguars as being frauds, we should be talking about the Jaguars in terms of, uh, taking that next step. This year is the next step year for the Jaguars. But because Prisco had to open his big mouth about it, now we're looking at as the Jaguars are frauds, yeah.

Jaguar Superbowl talk. But the next step would be winning two, two playoff games. There's I don't see them winning two playoff games. Do you? No, they would have to, right?

Started today, they would play the Browns. You could make the case that the next step is, uh, is not necessarily winning those playoff games, but just putting up like 11 wins in a season.

Yeah, but they did win a playoff game last year. They did, and they, you know, they went and played against the Chiefs, and admirably they, they showed up.

Uniforms They have some bad uniform. They had one great half of football in the playoffs last year.

Yeah, so yeah, I just don't. I don't really take the Jaguars for real. Uh, yeah, let me ask you, it's unfortunate, cause I liked, uh, you know, I love our guy chaps.

Let me ask you this Who do you think would win in a playoff game, the Browns or the Jaguars?

I would say, the Browns, I think the Browns could beat the Jaguars. I think the Browns could beat the Jaguars. The Browns defense is not the same on the road. I mean, a lot of people are saying.

That, like, can Joe Flacco win against a good team like the Jaguars? I don't know if he can or not, but if they were to play in the playoffs, I think he might be able to sneak one out. I'd agree with you there. Uh, okay, what?

That was a he went for two, I kind of liked it, so it was 21, it was 31 21. They scored a touchdown with a minute left and he went for two. To try to make it. A two point game instead of a four point game, or instead of a three point game?

I don't know if I like it or not, I kind of liked it, it was kind of funky. I can't remember the.

Last time a coach did that, I think the reason why I liked it was because the way they've made onside kicks now, it's impossible. So he kind of was like, this doesn't really fucking matter anyway.

Right, well, I liked it personally because I picked the Browns and it was a three point spread. Yes, and so that was very, very beneficial for me, very, very detrimental to Hank.

Yeah, I'm ready, I'm. I'm ready to do a to start grinding. Okay, grind some tape full.

You should do that, you should, you should actually do that. No, I like his whole set word.

For word, I don't, uh. I've obviously seen standup, but I wouldn't say it's like a huge, huge, you know, thing that I watch in my free time. Like I, I've been to a couple of shows, I've watched a couple of standups, but I, I'm not super, super familiar with the art.

Tell us a joke.

Guys, oh, that's nice, don't play the hits. I don't know what like, I don't know what else I had. I just can't do that for an hour, but that's really that's low hanging fruit hank.

Just go full troll, really sad, really sad of you. It's just an hour, it's a long time.

It's fine, I'm excited, it's a long time, I'm not going to complain.

Let's pretend right now, okay, your standup set starts right now, and I'll let you know when it okay, okay.

Browning Just make easy passes. He made some very easy passes today, so I agree with you, Zach Taylor's doing a great job. Uh? Chase Brown hit 22 miles an hour on that screen pass, where he just took off.

And I also think the Bengals, like that win on Monday night, rejuvenize their season. And they're now sitting here and being like, Hey, wait, we could. We're still a really good football team, you know, let's not be the FSU here. Yeah, we can still make the playoffs.

Out for them. I think they're still in the fun team category. Yeah, they're in the fun team category, yeah.

They're the, yeah, they're exactly, they're the exact average team, like if you're like, hey.

The crazy thing is I. I. I think of it more in terms of who could beat the best teams if everything broke their way, and who could lose to the worst teams if everything broke the wrong way. Yeah, so the Colts beat the Ravens this season, that's true, and I also wouldn't be surprised if.

They lost a literally any team. Yeah, that's also true. Yep, um, okay.

Right, I get it, he wasn't fucking down. Talk about the game, but wait, you got to look at two.

Sides of the same play, so it looked like he was not down yet, but did he have possession? Was that?

A catch? Ooh, maybe not. maybe it wasn't the catch.

They are, Thanks Jake, Thanks Jake, very cool. Approaching eight years.

Wait, no. But seriously, but when, when you say down, does he have to? What does that mean?

Was there a clear recovery? Yes, there was a clear recovery. Oh, fuck, wait, which team?

Oh, the cowboys, the cowboys. And which team are you rooting for?

If Dom was there, I know they won on Rocky Day. Yeah, yeah, Dom, Dom not being on the.

Sidelines, obviously.

On the sideline, damn damn. Does every team have a dom on their sideline? I don't know.

Did you really forget what we were talking about?

No.

Oh wait, I just did the playoff machine. Oh no, don't tell me PFT, don't give me bad news.

Not right now. First seed is the Niners, it says. second seed is the Cowboys. What? and the fifth?

Seed is the Eagles fifth, fifth, What? that's a fake fifth seed.

We haven't played the Giants yet, that's what it says. It's fifth seed. Wait, but the way the Eagles are playing right now is the Giants a guaranteed win. Would you shut up and just continue with?

The games that we're supposed to be talking about, well, how can you shut up and continue?

Are you playing at the Giants next week? No, we play at Seattle next week, which we very welcome, but then do you play at the Giants? We have to play them both.

Oh, you haven't lost a game in Meadowlands, have you?

I don't know you're so annoying. Can you shut up and also continue talking, please?

I just want you to continue doing the part of the show that we're supposed to be doing.

Okay, who decides that you? No, so wouldn't what they're talking about be what it's supposed?

To be talking about, No, this is what we're talking about right now, I guess, technically.

The producer creates the rundown. Yeah, Max creates the rundown every time we do a fully.

Produced rundown. On every single show, Max is always giving us topics. They're all on the side.

The fast two minute meetings, fast two minutes, the A block. now we're in the B block. Yeah, what?

Are we going to talk about today? Fellas? I got some ideas. LeBron Zion is fat. Are the Cowboys the best team?

Should only play each other, so you have to opt into NFC South Games. If you really care about the decision, then you can watch it. It should be the Panthers playing against the Bucks, Saints playing against the Falcons, and then they just rotate amongst themselves. And they should put it on the Pac 12 network.

Accidentally stumble across an N.F.C. South game? Exactly. It's just a chore every single time. Oh, that was a big pass for the Cowboys. Oh my god.

Right, he's a Cowboys fan.

A Bucks touchdown, I think it was a White who scored where it looked like the Falcons were like, maybe had a bet who could not tackle him. It all just kind of flailed around and he scored a touchdown. But yeah, it was good for Baker, I'm happy for baker.

DESmond Ritter Play football, yeah, if it's Heineke, then I definitely want to see the play.

That that doesn't murder. I know he played well in the fourth quarter, like both teams are like, oh shit, we got to try to win this game. But the interception, the the the fumble in the end zone, uh, the miss pass to Bijan, where it was, so it was a walk-in touchdown and he missed them. I'm just kind of, I'm just kind of done with Desmond Ritter, I think I'm done with watching.

Him play football. I think pretty much everybody else out there is done with Desmond Ritter. I think I think Falcons fans understand it's enough. Desmond Ritter is not the guy.

Had enough? We don't want any more. Desmond Ritter. We're asking, we're please asking out of all.

Future Desmond ritter now? That said, if Kuh had made to his field goals that he missed.

Different game, true, but yeah, someone's got to win the NFC South three-way tie. All teams, what? six and seven? Yep.

No, that is not, that is not how this works. They're more likely to get the fifth seed, the two seed, than they are the fifth seed if the season ended today. But it doesn't end today.

But last week, last week, it was all about how you had the one seed. Yes, it was, and we did.

Have the one seed now we don't. So great, great, you guys are fucking geniuses.

Yeah, quick poll, cause I'm just curious, uh, PFT commanders were bi-week this week.

Was great, actually. We won the bi-week because a lot of teams lost that were close to us, so we.

Hang on to our spot in the draft. Yeah, everyone, everyone one but me, you're Jake. Oh, I'm doing.

It Max, this Eagles discussion is not about you. I don't know how how big your head needs to be. We're not just talking about the Eagles. So much to get under your skin personally.

We're a football podcast. Yeah, and Jake, your your team plays tomorrow, so there's they have yet to lose.

Team didn't win either. Did you not listen to the sports podcast that we're doing? We won because all the teams around us, the draft, happened to win, we won because, uh, the chiefs.

Lost Max, Your hand wasn't raised. Is there an issue?

Yeah, we're going to get back to the Games in a second, but before we do, they're brought to you by our very, very good friends. Over at Game Time. I love Game time, I love using Game Time. It's the easiest way to find tickets.

Purchase, please use it responsibly. Did the Eagles quit? They didn't use any other timeouts?

Yeah, I think, you know, not so much. Quit, as they wave the white flag, that's not quitting.

It's different, I wouldn't quit, I would never quit.

Big guy, I have a reminder for you, you have to drag me off the field. You said December 11th. Yeah, Eagles to win the Super Bowl.

I was right about getting the best price at this exact moment. Credit to me for calling that because of the schedule. But no, they're not winning the Super Bowl. the defense just doesn't look right, They're not winning the Super Bowl. All right, let's talk about a team that might win the Super Bowl.

That's cool. Wait, today was the first time. Yeah, yeah, yeah.

And you're thinking about keeping both of them? I don't think they're so we're in a problem because I don't think I think they're going to take Caleb Williams, which I'm all for. Uh, Matt Eberflus has done an incredible job with his defense. I don't know what to say.

It. Can I give you some advice as an unbiased outsider? Yeah, take Caleb Williams. No, I think I'm all and get a brand new coach.

The Sun I want him to be the defensive coordinator and just take a demotion. I don't know if that.

Would be the best thing ever, it would be great, but I don't know if it's possible for that. That's.

Why we need Harbaugh? I'm just telling you, I can just be like, Maddie, you're the DC. now, I'm just.

Telling you I don't even have to tell him as a friend, I need you to know that you do not want.

Those guys back next year, I don't think I want, just feels back, but I do. Maddie before, you can't deny how good the defense, defense is great. So, um, I, yes, gun to my head. I don't do not want them back, but I also have to see what happens in the next. If they, if they went out, what the?

Fuck, they're a good team, yeah, so it's. It's important for the other guys that are in that locker room to end the season knowing that they can win football games, yeah.

Eber Flus has figured out how to become a great coach. His defense is very, very good, very good, very good defense. Um, as for the Lions, now, Lions fans are going to be mad at me. Because I actually said on Friday, I think the Bears can win this game. There were people who were like, You're an idiot.

Yeah, so the lines it was. It was their defense. Yes, their defense was very bad today, but also their offense wasn't that good. They scored 13 points in the second quarter.

They're the best Packers are definitely capable of doing, they're the best team in that division.

By, uh, a wide enough margin for for it to be like, relatively certain that they're going to win it, but I don't. But it's not. But you better win that division because you don't want to go anywhere.

And play outside, that's not as secure as you think it is. Because they had to play the Vikings twice, and the Vikings are are two games behind them right now. I think that the Packers went.

On Monday, their two games behind them, I think the uh, the lines will take care of business against. I'm not worried about the Vikings anymore. If I'm the if I'm the line, okay.

It's if you're a Lions fan, you're not saying, Oh, the NFC North is all wrapped up, I can guarantee.

You that it's not wrapped up, but I, I wouldn't panic in terms of winning that division.

They have not looked good, they've not looked good in the last three weeks, that's a fact, actually, four weeks. Cause that. The the Bears completely choked away the game that they played at, Uh, Ford Field, you know, a month ago. And Dan Campbell said afterwards, I need to put a little more, uh, I need to push a little more.

Fun for the Lions. Yeah, he's going to have to figure out, um, a great speech to give this week. Um, I got one, here's one.

Not when the bear secondary is flying around. I listen, I know people they love when I'm very much down. Um, it's exciting. I'm excited about the Bears future because their defense is something to build on and they have offensive weapons and they have the number one pick. It's exciting.

You have a magic wand. How do you fix the eagles?

Nothing, the defense is nothing, I mean, the offense, the offense. There was just bad turnovers, but it they were moving the ball fine. They just had bad turnovers. The defense is a big problem.

Damn is Dom back next week? I don't know, hopefully.

You bet the cowboys today. What do you think about your cowboys? We need a Cowboys fan on this podcast. We've said that.

They're dominant at home, they got to keep up these wins, get some home playoff games.

Soupy, soupy, you think it's soupy this year? I think this is the year. Oh, okay.

The gauntlet is over, that's good. I mean, you still have to go to Seattle next week. It's not a gauntlet, Seattle needs a win.

Yeah, yeah, Seattle kind of gets extra rest because they played earlier, Dallas had at least.

Four hours last week, Dallas had a mini bye they played Thursday. It's scheduling.

Fuck the Eagles, that's what's happened. Calendar 20. Yeah.

Worth 20 points? Yeah, yeah, that's about right, that's the math.

Yeah, Dak looks really good, I think Dak MVP, he did look great today, yeah.

Were they five and four in their last nine?

Five and four in their last nine, and their losses are, you know, Tyson Bajent, that that Saints loss, they. They actually kind of dominated the Saints, obviously the Lions game. They didn't know how to close out the first one. There's, if you look at the last two months of the Bears, like they're outside of the Chargers game, they've been in every game.

VikInGs Game We all remember that Vikings by no means where the Bears like a dominant team.

No, but their defense was awesome, their defense was great, their defense can win them games, all right. Saints 28, Panthers six, The Saints, man, that it's tough when the Panthers are playing and the Panthers are a chore to watch.

I took something else away from that video, too. It wasn't just him screaming at him. We need to start monitoring Derek Carr every time he's sacked. I don't think these guys are helping him up, I don't think his offensive line is going back there and helping the guy up.

He was Marilyn Manson for that one season, sucking his own dick.

Yeah, Derek Carr, could he? Yeah, probably, he's got his brother to do that for him.

Yeah, oh no, his brother's busy saying that Marcus Mariota should start for the Eagles.

Yeah, my favorite, which maybe my favorite thing about David Carr is that-.

I'm joking.

Is that he blocks people who make fun of his brother online?

That's just he's ride or die, ride or die. But yeah, this game was. The Panthers are just so, so, so bad. And Chris Tabor, their interim head coach. Usually you get a bounce with your interim head coach. They got negative bounce. So much so that he's a special teams guy and they got a punt block today.

He also might just be it might be the lack of him being on special teams.

Yeah, I don't think so. I think he's just not. That's why they're doing that.

That's probably not a good coach. The Panthers should definitely do the thing where they have a different interim coach every single week. Try to get that bump, keep going with it until you find a guy that gives you a bump and then rotate again. That's what you should do. The Panthers are so tough to watch, so hard to watch. I put a bet in today on every team to score a touchdown and in the early slate, I just needed the Panthers.

Yeah, he was his first half, he was 3 for 15 for 28 yards, yeah.

Yeah.

It's bad.

Really bad. The highlight-.

Aren't you happy, though? Because, like, you got the plug pulled on you because the Vikings-Raiders game, which we're going to talk to, was-.

That would have been a disaster.

That would have been a disaster.

It would have been bad. The highlight of the game was Miles Sanders almost scoring a touchdown. Yeah, and he got tackled at like the 2, and then you guys backed up 15 yards.

And then, yeah, they just went, Yeah, sack, sack.

Is it, is it not time to start? asking Andy Dalton?

Yeah, Andy Dalton, the one game he played, he looked really good.

Oh, he looks great on the sidelines.

Or might have had two games, yeah.

Have you noticed the like this is Andy 2?

I don't know, Andy Dalton probably is like, I'm cool, just catching a check here.

He probably doesn't want to get in. I'm thinking that maybe maybe the Panthers just want the Bears to get a worse draft pick.

What do you mean?

I don't know, maybe maybe they're just maybe, I don't know.

No, that makes no sense.

I guess it probably doesn't, but why? why aren't they putting Andy Dalton in the game?

Because they drafted Bryce Young, you can't bench your the guy you drafted. Won overall his first season.

I would, I would consider sitting him down.

Why you're not, you're not trying to win.

I would consider sitting him down because he's not-.

You are trying to win, but you're not able to win. It doesn't matter like nothing matters, because everything, nothing matters.

Because everything that he's being taught this season is is from a guy that's not going to be there in like, three months.

Yeah, but then you just gotta, you gotta get some game tape out there, see if he he can overcome adversity. You can't bench your first first round, your first pick overall.

It's for his own good.

For no reason, really, like there's nothing to bench him for except for that he sucks.

I think it's just like the the people that are coaching the team right now are going to have. He's not going to, like, take any developmental steps with this group of interim coaches.

Eh, more games. Just find out you know how bad you are.

Maybe I'm, maybe I'm asking specifically for people that have you don't want the Panthers on television.

You don't want the bears to have the first pick. I see what you're doing.

No i do.

Yeah, you want Andy Dalton to play and win a couple games.

I want Andy Dalton to play just so that-.

Can I tell you-?

I can watch the Panthers.

Can I tell you? Can I tell you what would be worse than me having the first pick, that guy right there?

Hank No, it's not that guy. This is about you having that.-.

My first pick, I'm not that guy, but there's no reason to play Andy Dalton.

What's wrong with that? The reason to play Andy Dalton is that he's better.

But there's no reason to like he's not your future, he's not like you drafted him one over all.

You might be-.

You have to play him, at least.-.

You might be doing more damage to him by keeping him in these games.

Did Mark Schlerz teach us that? Like the whole idea of like, bench, you know, having a guy sit, it's like, No, you gotta find out right away.

I'm just saying-.

Rather, find out right now.

I'm just saying, he's not. I don't think he's going to get any better with the team that's currently around him right now.

Well, if it gets worse, then he's not the guy.

Yeah, but what if he wins a couple games and the fans start believing in him? And they're like, we don't even want a quarterback if we get the first pick?

Yeah, yeah, we have Bryce Young. Yeah, there's no reason. -.

They're not going to get the first pick, though, Hank, because that goes-.

No, they're saying that they wouldn't like-.

No, hank. Hypothetically, if they were to win enough games and still have the first overall pick, they wouldn't take a quarterback. But no, that pick's going to big cat, True.

Yeah, I have that pick.

I hold that pick. You don't want a quarterback.

I tuck that pick in every No. I do want a quarterback, I want Caleb Williams. We went through this, we talked about it a lot.

I do not want Hank to get the first overall pick for the record.

I love your pick, I love your first pick. If I could have it my way, I would like suspend all NFL operations for a few years and just hold on to that first pick for as long as I could. Just, Hmm, what are you looking at like that for Max?

I'm just watching you do the show.

Okay.

Uh, all right, yeah, this game was a disaster, though NFC South is a disaster. It's a chore to watch. PaC-12 network.

Jimmy Graham's back.

Jimmy Graham is back.

Huge. He almost dunked the ball over the upright.

At what point is Derek Carr going to sit down? He's getting hurt every single week, he has so many injuries and he's just so like, I'm not going to let. I think he knows that Jameis is better than him.

He's selfish, Yeah, he is. It's messed up that they put Jameis in at the end of games for kneel downs, just tanking his stats.

Yeah, I know.

I'm going to need Jameis101 to make sure on the next Jameis graphic, you include some asterisks on why Jameis all-time stats are worse because of these kneel downs. Yes, please do that for me, yes.

All right, next game. Jets 30, Texans 6. This was a wild game. Oh, what does that mean? I said, Fuck yeah.

Zach Wilson looked great, he looked good memes, he looked really, really good. And it wasn't just the fact that he wasn't Tim Boyle, it's not just the fact that he wasn't Trevor Simeon.

And he did it in the rain. What's up with that? Memes? Is he good? Uh, I think he's just the perfect backup quarterback. Where a guy goes down, he goes in, gives you a spark and that's it.

Big spark.

Can't play a full season. I think Zach Wilson is the perfect. Well, no, it doesn't work with this analogy because I was going to say, Mitch, but that has not worked out. But, like, you can't blame a guy who gets picked number two overall if he got picked in the fourth round.
