WEBVTT 1 00:00:00.080 --> 00:00:03.879 It's the Downbeat on ninety seven to one, the free Julius to call me, 2 00:00:04.000 --> 00:00:09.560 Oh my Julia. I'm Kevin Turner with Danny Baylis. Mike Stroy is 3 00:00:09.599 --> 00:00:13.359 out today, a little sick. He'll be back tomorrow, we think, 4 00:00:13.439 --> 00:00:19.239 although cold and flu symptoms kind of popping up around these parts this time of 5 00:00:19.320 --> 00:00:23.039 year. Of course, want to get into some sports in a second. 6 00:00:23.160 --> 00:00:27.239 First, going to give a quick update on a bit of a developing situation 7 00:00:27.640 --> 00:00:31.320 out in Roanoke. I like Ronoke, by the way, Ronoke's out there, 8 00:00:32.399 --> 00:00:36.759 a little to the west, but still definitely in the metroplex. Oh, 9 00:00:36.759 --> 00:00:42.320 a good downtown situation over there in Roanoke. There is a major train 10 00:00:42.399 --> 00:00:45.640 de realment that's happened in the city of Ronoke, and this is south of 11 00:00:45.719 --> 00:00:52.399 Highway one fourteen, right along Highway three seventy seven. Three coal cars and 12 00:00:52.479 --> 00:00:57.920 a portion of the locomotive off the tracks. According to Madison Sawyer of CBS 13 00:00:58.000 --> 00:01:06.359 eleven, they are saying that Highway three seventy seven will be shut down at 14 00:01:06.439 --> 00:01:08.760 eight am, and this is expected to be an all day event. So 15 00:01:08.799 --> 00:01:14.159 they're shutting three seventy seven down for cleanup at eight am. So, my 16 00:01:14.239 --> 00:01:18.480 god, if you're in that part of the world and you're traveling, look 17 00:01:18.480 --> 00:01:23.920 out. You might be going back to work and dealing with a massive commute, 18 00:01:23.000 --> 00:01:26.040 or you could use it for an excuse to just go in late. 19 00:01:26.079 --> 00:01:27.280 Hey traffic got me, you know, if you want to use it to 20 00:01:27.280 --> 00:01:34.359 your advantage. But big deal man trained dee elments have been We've seen a 21 00:01:34.400 --> 00:01:38.640 few, and there was obviously big stories nationally about that. Don't think about 22 00:01:38.640 --> 00:01:44.359 it too often around here, but there's a bunch of trains and a big 23 00:01:44.400 --> 00:01:47.159 dealilmen. I don't know if ane's been hurt. No injuries have been reported, 24 00:01:47.879 --> 00:01:53.200 and it was they said three coal cars, but kind of a big 25 00:01:53.239 --> 00:01:59.200 deal there on them. Seems like a big deal. Luckily, I'm not 26 00:01:59.280 --> 00:02:04.799 driving on three seventy seven today, but if you are, look out train 27 00:02:04.879 --> 00:02:08.199 derailment in Roanoke. We'll give you more details if we can find them. 28 00:02:08.199 --> 00:02:13.520 I'm seeing a couple of pictures and man, it's wild to see a huge, 29 00:02:14.479 --> 00:02:20.360 you know, car on this train, just to see it off the 30 00:02:20.439 --> 00:02:27.680 tracks. It's it's pretty nuts. And I'm seeing this happened in twenty sixteen, 31 00:02:27.800 --> 00:02:30.960 and that's what I'm seeing pictures of is from twenty sixteen. The derailment. 32 00:02:30.039 --> 00:02:34.919 Thin, I'm not seeing anything nothing yet from today, but this is 33 00:02:35.439 --> 00:02:39.439 fresh. This is just within the hour. Yeah, it started being reported 34 00:02:39.439 --> 00:02:44.919 about fifty minutes ago. Hopefully no one's hurt all that, No injury is 35 00:02:44.960 --> 00:02:52.039 reported yet. Yeah, one seventy seven, Yes, goodly, Well, 36 00:02:52.080 --> 00:02:54.319 we're all. We'll keep you updated if we find out anything else.

We'll tell you maybe that's the 39 00:03:04.000 --> 00:03:08.960 real reason he's not coming in today. But before we do that, let's 40 00:03:09.000 --> 00:03:27.120 get to this because this is gonna be Meaty's now sports all right, Saturday 41 00:03:27.199 --> 00:03:32.039 night not sponsored today? Well slow slow starts the quarter uh Cowboys and lines 42 00:03:32.080 --> 00:03:36.080 on Saturday. Well, let's tell you eight o'clock, we're a dive into 43 00:03:36.080 --> 00:03:38.919 little mav stuff. Mark Cuban commented on the sale of the team, which 44 00:03:38.960 --> 00:03:46.080 was official over the holidays ut last night big college football playoff action? Is 45 00:03:46.120 --> 00:03:49.800 that game ended to run f and midnight? Get into that at eight? 46 00:03:50.159 --> 00:03:52.639 I can't believe you stayed up for that. You stayed up for the whole 47 00:03:52.719 --> 00:03:55.639 damn thing. Was it down to the wire? Yeah, because I know 48 00:03:55.800 --> 00:03:59.719 what text is only lost by what a touchdown. I can't wait to fill 49 00:03:59.719 --> 00:04:03.719 you in on what happened. Okay, as to be sleepy, No, 50 00:04:03.840 --> 00:04:10.000 I'm okay. We' running a pure adrenaline. At nine o'clock, NFL on 51 00:04:10.080 --> 00:04:15.800 Fox, Rules analyst Dean Blandino will come in. We'll call in to you 52 00:04:15.839 --> 00:04:20.199 know, give us the definitive word on the ruling that shook the NFL and 53 00:04:20.279 --> 00:04:28.079 it really did have ramifications for three teams. Yeahs here this Sunday night, 54 00:04:28.160 --> 00:04:32.519 the Cowboys win twenty to nineteen after they thought they were gonna lose twenty one 55 00:04:32.600 --> 00:04:38.480 to twenty, but they end up winning twenty to nineteen. And we can 56 00:04:39.040 --> 00:04:41.480 go a lot of different places. I think we should start with just kind 57 00:04:41.480 --> 00:04:46.079 of how the game went. First, they won twenty one to twenty. 58 00:04:46.279 --> 00:04:48.920 They would have lost twenty two to twenty. Yeah, twenty two to twenty 59 00:04:48.920 --> 00:04:54.920 one? Sorry, yeah, is that right? It was twenty to nineteen 60 00:04:55.279 --> 00:04:58.680 either way. The Lions were going for two y. Yeah, that's right, 61 00:04:58.680 --> 00:05:01.240 that's right, that's right, that's right. Not bad that game. 62 00:05:02.240 --> 00:05:06.120 I kind of sat there the whole time and went, Okay, when are 63 00:05:06.120 --> 00:05:12.160 the Cowboys gonna pull away? Here? And they never did. And then 64 00:05:12.199 --> 00:05:15.040 it got to the point where they were behind nineteen thirteen, they score and 65 00:05:15.079 --> 00:05:20.759 they go up twenty to nineteen. I I I'm sorry they were up. 66 00:05:20.839 --> 00:05:26.560 And when I was thinking about that game though, I kind of thought the 67 00:05:26.680 --> 00:05:30.240 Cowboys, Okay, first of all, they're good at home, and it 68 00:05:30.279 --> 00:05:34.199 was a tight, tight first half is exactly what I predicted. And then 69 00:05:34.240 --> 00:05:38.839 I predicted that it would get to the half and they're gonna do this. 70 00:05:39.079 --> 00:05:42.439 We talked about it. I think they're gonna do this. How about them 71 00:05:42.519 --> 00:05:46.000 Cowboys? Thing was they induct Jimmy Johnson at the Ring of Honor, and 72 00:05:46.040 --> 00:05:50.279 the Cowboys are gonna come out on fire and just blow them out. Yeah, 73 00:05:50.319 --> 00:05:54.439 you texted that to me and Mikey did halftime of that game. We 74 00:05:54.439 --> 00:05:57.279 were all kind of watching it, you know, not in the same room, 75 00:05:57.319 --> 00:06:00.879 but watching it together and staying connected on our phones. And yeah, 76 00:06:00.920 --> 00:06:05.000 I thought, yeah, it sounds like a likely scenario that they kind of 77 00:06:05.000 --> 00:06:10.120 playing around in the first half and then just getting the ball back or you 78 00:06:10.160 --> 00:06:14.439 know, on the second half kickoff and just run away with it. Not 79 00:06:14.560 --> 00:06:18.399 the case, man, That thing was in jeopardy the entire way. They 80 00:06:18.439 --> 00:06:23.279 should have lost yeah, and that's our I mean, the big stuff from 81 00:06:23.279 --> 00:06:28.360 that game is that what happened at the end and the events, the chain 82 00:06:28.399 --> 00:06:31.120 of events at the end of the game where the Cowboys had the ball and 83 00:06:31.199 --> 00:06:35.879 could have really put the game away, there was a I'm gonna call it 84 00:06:35.920 --> 00:06:42.279 a phantom tripping call. I believe it's on Peyton Hendersho at the tight end 85 00:06:42.279 --> 00:06:44.959 and they call the tripping on him, where if you go back and watch, 86 00:06:45.000 --> 00:06:47.439 it kind of looks like it's a Lions player who did the tripping, 87 00:06:47.959 --> 00:06:51.800 So it's not a good call, but it put the Cowboys in a first 88 00:06:51.839 --> 00:06:56.560 and twenty five position as they're trying to kind of milk out the clock here, 89 00:06:57.120 --> 00:07:01.399 and the score at this point is Cowboys twenty line thirteen. And when 90 00:07:01.439 --> 00:07:06.399 that penalty happened, I'm looking at the time that was left in that game, 91 00:07:08.360 --> 00:07:12.480 and I'm seeing Danny right here. I've got it pulled up here. 92 00:07:13.600 --> 00:07:17.000 I think it was a little under two minutes left because that first and twenty 93 00:07:17.040 --> 00:07:19.560 five. Yeah, first and twenty five, they're the two minute warning. 94 00:07:20.399 --> 00:07:24.279 The first playoff out of the two minute warning, it's first and twenty five. 95 00:07:24.319 --> 00:07:28.279 Then the Detroit forty four, there's two minutes left. The Lions have 96 00:07:28.879 --> 00:07:33.439 two timeouts. Okay, first and twenty five. The Cowboys run a slant 97 00:07:33.519 --> 00:07:38.240 route to Ceedee Lamb. They get eleven yards and it's like, okay, 98 00:07:38.240 --> 00:07:42.439 that's ballsy, but it's a completion. Sure, so best of both worlds. 99 00:07:42.480 --> 00:07:46.920 We got ten or eleven yards and time out by the lines, they 100 00:07:46.959 --> 00:07:53.720 have to use a timeout, and then it's second and fourteen. I think 101 00:07:53.759 --> 00:07:56.879 conventional wisdom would tell you, you're up twenty thirteen, you've got a good 102 00:07:56.959 --> 00:08:01.959 kicker, let's just go ahead and run the ball here. And and I'm 103 00:08:03.000 --> 00:08:05.199 sorry at that point, Danny was seventeen to thirteen, not twenty to thirteen. 104 00:08:05.399 --> 00:08:09.920 Seventeen to thirteen. Run the ball here. And they run a play 105 00:08:09.199 --> 00:08:15.480 that breaks down and Dak ends up just launching it into the back of the 106 00:08:15.560 --> 00:08:18.639 end zone, stops the clock. Lions don't have to use a timeout, 107 00:08:18.680 --> 00:08:22.879 and they could have taken forty seconds off the clock. After the game, 108 00:08:22.319 --> 00:08:26.759 Dak said that was on him. That was what the hell just tappened play? 109 00:08:26.879 --> 00:08:31.040 It really was. It was so confusing to everybody watching it, the 110 00:08:31.120 --> 00:08:35.679 booth, the players on the field, the people in the stands that made 111 00:08:35.679 --> 00:08:39.360 not when you saw that ball just flying out of the back of the end 112 00:08:39.440 --> 00:08:41.799 zone. I'm like, what are they doing? And what he said he 113 00:08:41.840 --> 00:08:46.320 was accountable for? What did he say? He basically Mike never asked about 114 00:08:46.320 --> 00:08:52.159 the play call on that, and he basically said he knew he you can't, 115 00:08:52.279 --> 00:08:54.399 you know, leave the leave the clock stopped. He might have been 116 00:08:54.440 --> 00:08:58.240 getting MacArthur's back. I'm not real sure that's better to take a sack there, 117 00:08:58.320 --> 00:09:01.919 dude, that point yeah, take you yeah, I mean, as 118 00:09:01.919 --> 00:09:03.480 long as you're not like out of field goal range, because they're with a 119 00:09:03.480 --> 00:09:07.919 thirty three yard line, so you're but Aubrey, you're confident, hasn't missed 120 00:09:07.919 --> 00:09:11.399 all year, so you're good. Don't. As long as you don't lose 121 00:09:11.399 --> 00:09:16.879 like seven yards, we're good. But what that did the Cowboys then had 122 00:09:16.879 --> 00:09:18.960 made the decision clearly, we're gonna try to pass and get the first down. 123 00:09:20.360 --> 00:09:22.960 Okay, once they threw to Ceedee Lamb on first down, We're not 124 00:09:22.000 --> 00:09:26.159 just gonna run it three times, make the lines, used both timeouts, 125 00:09:26.200 --> 00:09:30.159 and then take an extra forty seconds off the clock. But what that incompletion 126 00:09:30.279 --> 00:09:33.559 did is it does keep you at one fifty five on the clock. Third 127 00:09:33.600 --> 00:09:37.519 down, they check down to Ferguson. He gets eight yards easier field goal 128 00:09:37.320 --> 00:09:41.679 lines used their last time out, but the Lions are now going to get 129 00:09:41.679 --> 00:09:46.840 the ball with one forty five left. It's a lot and it's twenty to 130 00:09:46.879 --> 00:09:50.600 thirteen, especially when the way that the Cowboys were playing defense. I mean, 131 00:09:50.720 --> 00:09:54.759 the oh my god, the biggest sponge prevent you've ever seen in your 132 00:09:54.759 --> 00:09:58.639 life. It does no matter what three plays and they were right there. 133 00:09:58.320 --> 00:10:03.919 It was You're hoping the pass rush would have got there or something, but 134 00:10:03.960 --> 00:10:07.320 they were. You're right. They did the basic build a wall on the 135 00:10:07.320 --> 00:10:09.559 outside, keep them inside. And the lines are like, well, yeah, 136 00:10:09.600 --> 00:10:11.159 but you left us a minute forty five, so we have time to 137 00:10:11.200 --> 00:10:13.399 do it. Yeah. Now if we can work the middle of the field 138 00:10:13.440 --> 00:10:16.440 because of the fact that there's almost two minutes on the clock, let's tree 139 00:10:16.519 --> 00:10:20.399 gouack. If one of those play calls was a running play, or you 140 00:10:20.519 --> 00:10:24.720 just have an easy completion and stand bounds. Civil Matt tells you that the 141 00:10:24.720 --> 00:10:30.159 Lioness would beginning the ball with one oh five left and no timeout, Well 142 00:10:30.200 --> 00:10:33.320 that still maybe they still get in. Maybe maybe they do, but that 143 00:10:33.320 --> 00:10:41.080 that at that point you eliminate being able to use that big area that's in 144 00:10:41.120 --> 00:10:45.080 the center of the field. Yeah, because how many times did did they 145 00:10:45.080 --> 00:10:46.799 spike the ball when they would run up to the line. I think at 146 00:10:46.879 --> 00:10:50.320 least two, they did it three times. Okay, you can't do that 147 00:10:50.360 --> 00:10:54.279 when you have fifty five seconds on the clock. That's just not it's not 148 00:10:54.480 --> 00:10:58.799 possible. You were working the sidelines, you're trying to get out of bounds 149 00:10:58.440 --> 00:11:03.159 and stopping the clock. But the amount of yardage that you're accumulating when you're 150 00:11:03.200 --> 00:11:07.559 when you're in that in that predicament, it's just not enough to get big 151 00:11:07.639 --> 00:11:11.600 chunks to get down there quick enough. So, yeah, it was I 152 00:11:11.600 --> 00:11:18.679 think here's the thing for me, and the clock would dictate how you play 153 00:11:18.720 --> 00:11:22.440 that, right, But given the lines the ball back with one five compared 154 00:11:22.440 --> 00:11:26.159 to giving them the ball back with one oh five, they scored with twenty 155 00:11:26.200 --> 00:11:30.759 three seconds on the clock, which tells you the clock would have been expired. 156 00:11:31.320 --> 00:11:33.240 That's an easy way to look at it, I know. And Troy 157 00:11:33.279 --> 00:11:37.679 brought that point up too, like, there's your forties forty seconds is the 158 00:11:37.720 --> 00:11:39.240 number we're kind of watching here, because those are time that you could have 159 00:11:39.279 --> 00:11:43.600 taken now that easily. Asta McCarthy, right, sure, And Troy is 160 00:11:43.639 --> 00:11:48.399 so great at passive aggressive comments. Yeah, well the game should be over 161 00:11:48.519 --> 00:11:52.279 right now. He didn't care. No, he does not care. I 162 00:11:52.320 --> 00:11:56.240 think those guys took a little bit more money and I think they kind of 163 00:11:56.240 --> 00:12:01.879 don't like it at ESPN kind of don't like Monday night football any They kind 164 00:12:01.879 --> 00:12:05.759 of don't like it, asked to stay on it. Yeah, they took 165 00:12:05.799 --> 00:12:11.000 a lot of money. Van Pelt after the game. Yeah, they're getting 166 00:12:11.039 --> 00:12:13.879 ass games every Monday. They took a new job, thought it would be 167 00:12:15.000 --> 00:12:20.080 rosy, and then they're kind of like ass games. Ass games. Uh. 168 00:12:20.799 --> 00:12:24.759 So the Lions get in, they score a Monroel Saint Brown, who's 169 00:12:24.799 --> 00:12:33.200 awesome, and it's twenty to nineteen and they say it'll for two. So 170 00:12:33.279 --> 00:12:37.120 here's what happened. According to the NFL Game Book, it'll tell you that 171 00:12:37.279 --> 00:12:41.919 Dan Skipper, a guy weirdly who I met in Jeff Kavanaugh's backyard. Long 172 00:12:41.960 --> 00:12:50.080 story, reserve offensive tackle Dan Skipper reported in as eligible. Now, for 173 00:12:50.159 --> 00:12:54.600 those of you that don't know, I will quickly do this. You can 174 00:12:54.440 --> 00:13:00.360 report that you're an eligible wide receiver and you're basically shifting the offensive one a 175 00:13:00.360 --> 00:13:03.480 little bit differently, and you have to do that because you have to tell 176 00:13:03.519 --> 00:13:07.679 the defense so they're allowed to substitute and know who the eligible receiver is. 177 00:13:07.039 --> 00:13:13.519 It's common sportsmanship and courtesy and it's in the rules. So the ref says 178 00:13:13.559 --> 00:13:18.559 that number seventy, Dan Skipper reports in is eligible, which would make left 179 00:13:18.639 --> 00:13:30.279 tackle Taylor Decker ineligible. Correct. The Lions run a gimmick play and it 180 00:13:30.399 --> 00:13:35.360 is a pass to the left tackle Taylor Decker, who is uncovered, uncovered 181 00:13:35.360 --> 00:13:39.240 and ineligible, and by uncovered, the receivers off the line of scrimmage. 182 00:13:41.480 --> 00:13:43.720 Well, if the receiver's on the line of scrimmage, then he can't be. 183 00:13:45.679 --> 00:13:50.639 The receiver was not on the line of scrimmage. Taylor Decker was eligible 184 00:13:52.320 --> 00:13:54.519 according to what the Lions said, and a lot of he said, she 185 00:13:54.639 --> 00:13:56.720 said, going on, well, he said, he said, he said, 186 00:13:56.799 --> 00:14:01.720 going on the ref And if there's video evidence of this, now, 187 00:14:03.840 --> 00:14:07.200 the ref just messed up because Taylor Decker of the Detroit Lions goes to the 188 00:14:07.200 --> 00:14:11.799 ref first and says, I'm eligible. He points at himself, says he 189 00:14:11.840 --> 00:14:16.000 said it. Also, there's slow motion video footage of Dan Skipper, number 190 00:14:16.039 --> 00:14:20.879 seventy going I didn't say an F and word. I didn't say an F 191 00:14:20.960 --> 00:14:26.240 and word. I didn't say an E, F and word, so Dan 192 00:14:26.320 --> 00:14:30.639 Skipper. And if you watch the video evidence, which didn't come out until 193 00:14:30.679 --> 00:14:33.440 after the game, where you see all this from up in the press box, 194 00:14:33.720 --> 00:14:37.519 Dan Skipper looks a little confused when he runs out there. I think 195 00:14:37.559 --> 00:14:43.879 he's probably on purpose too loud for the refs to go, number sixty eight 196 00:14:43.960 --> 00:14:48.399 is in? Is eligible? Okay? Kind of two out at that time, 197 00:14:48.120 --> 00:14:52.639 so common to just go, hey, defense, here's the eligible guy. 198 00:14:52.720 --> 00:14:58.120 They just said that number seventy was eligible instead of sixty eight. They 199 00:14:58.159 --> 00:15:01.840 got him mixed up. They got a mixed and they told the defense the 200 00:15:01.879 --> 00:15:05.399 wrong thing. And I don't I think Skipper was just a little confused about 201 00:15:05.399 --> 00:15:07.799 where to line up. Skipper was not going out there to talk to the 202 00:15:07.799 --> 00:15:09.320 ref. He might have been going out there to act like he was talking 203 00:15:09.320 --> 00:15:13.639 to the ref. But if he didn't say word to the ref and the 204 00:15:13.679 --> 00:15:20.440 ref says that seventies eligible, okay hmm, but seventy didn't say anything, 205 00:15:20.919 --> 00:15:24.279 then the ref messed up. Now, the other take on this is maybe 206 00:15:24.279 --> 00:15:26.919 don't run a trick play like that and put the game in the hands of 207 00:15:26.919 --> 00:15:30.840 the referee, which I kind of agree with. But also this is common, 208 00:15:31.600 --> 00:15:35.200 and I think the evidence from postgame tells you that the Lions were in 209 00:15:35.240 --> 00:15:39.840 the right. Here here is their meatball head coach Dan Campbell after the game. 210 00:15:41.080 --> 00:15:43.639 Yeah, the explanation he got out to two point seventy reported. Did 211 00:15:43.679 --> 00:15:48.799 Decker report as well? Yeah? The explanation was seventy reported, and they 212 00:15:48.879 --> 00:15:52.919 need to announce that if both players report, two people can't report. I 213 00:15:52.960 --> 00:15:58.240 don't want to talk about it, right. I explained everything pre game to 214 00:15:58.399 --> 00:16:03.440 a t Okay, I did that. Okay, So he explained before the 215 00:16:03.480 --> 00:16:07.720 game. Very common. If you have any trick plays that you're going to 216 00:16:07.799 --> 00:16:11.960 run something that the refs need to know, you would tell them before they 217 00:16:11.960 --> 00:16:17.919 get before the game. Okay, just so they're not for this specific situation. 218 00:16:18.960 --> 00:16:22.840 I think that's I mean, a you lost. Another reason why they 219 00:16:22.879 --> 00:16:27.000 were furious about this is because he said I told the ref before the game. 220 00:16:27.639 --> 00:16:32.320 Now hold that for a minute, because I want you to hear Jared 221 00:16:32.360 --> 00:16:36.039 Goff after the game, because I thought this was pretty good as he kind 222 00:16:36.039 --> 00:16:37.039 of walks through it. What I do know, and I don't know if 223 00:16:37.080 --> 00:16:40.360 I'll get fine for this, but I do know that Decker reported I do 224 00:16:40.440 --> 00:16:42.200 know that Dan Skipper did not, and I do know that they said that 225 00:16:42.279 --> 00:16:48.080 Dan Skipper did, so it's unfortunate. Now, in the pool report after 226 00:16:48.120 --> 00:16:51.639 the game, which is where one media member is gets to sit down with 227 00:16:51.679 --> 00:16:55.519 the head referee, and it's all done from people in the Pro Football Riders 228 00:16:55.600 --> 00:17:00.559 Association, they switch out this duty. Calvin Watkins of the Dallas Warning News 229 00:17:02.399 --> 00:17:06.480 sits down with Brad Allen, the crew chief, and Brad Allen basically says 230 00:17:06.720 --> 00:17:10.640 that, yeah, he says the opposite of what Jared Goff just said. 231 00:17:11.359 --> 00:17:17.920 Well, LA seventy reported so sixty eight was not eligible and the lines are 232 00:17:17.960 --> 00:17:22.000 like no, and Taylor Decker number sixty eight in this case. What he 233 00:17:22.119 --> 00:17:25.960 was asked about, it goes, I just did what coach told me to 234 00:17:26.000 --> 00:17:30.200 do. I went and reported like all of this is just a ref screwing 235 00:17:30.319 --> 00:17:36.400 up. Yeah, and it changed everything now, I mean, it is 236 00:17:36.559 --> 00:17:42.440 not redeemed the it is not forgive the sins of Dan Campbell that followed this. 237 00:17:42.880 --> 00:17:48.039 Oh my god, no it doesn't. And look, man, I 238 00:17:48.039 --> 00:17:55.000 I don't even know why he wouldn't just tie it up initially. Yeah, 239 00:17:55.000 --> 00:17:56.519 because there's a five yard penalty and they moved the ball back to the Sinne 240 00:17:56.559 --> 00:18:03.720 I'm talking about before this trick scenario even manifested the way it did. I 241 00:18:03.720 --> 00:18:08.640 mean, look, dude, just kick the extra point. Take your chances 242 00:18:08.640 --> 00:18:17.599 in overtime. Your defense has been absolutely man handling the Cowboys, and the 243 00:18:17.680 --> 00:18:19.799 Cowboys have had no I mean, not that it would matter in overtime, 244 00:18:19.839 --> 00:18:22.799 but their left guard was hurt too. Tyler Smith was not going to be 245 00:18:23.839 --> 00:18:27.920 like their chances. I was thinking that the whole time, like, just 246 00:18:29.000 --> 00:18:33.519 kick it because the Cowboys left guard is out now, but you've got a 247 00:18:33.599 --> 00:18:36.720 chance to do a little damage in overtime. Maybe, but you know, 248 00:18:36.759 --> 00:18:41.519 maybe he didn't trust the defense. Why their defense was incredible. I thought 249 00:18:41.519 --> 00:18:45.839 they were playing pretty well too, really well. Well. I was wrong, 250 00:18:45.880 --> 00:18:48.400 though. Do you want to hear his explanation. NFL figured some stuff 251 00:18:48.440 --> 00:18:52.799 out after that Buffalo game. Dude, I think they did. They really 252 00:18:52.839 --> 00:18:56.559 did, and that's a problem going into the playoffs. But more than that, 253 00:18:56.599 --> 00:19:00.400 here's here's Dan Campbell. Here's why he did it. I tell you 254 00:19:00.400 --> 00:19:03.559 what, I want my coaches to take emotion out of their decisions. I 255 00:19:03.559 --> 00:19:07.880 want them to be very calm. I don't like I cannot stand the coach 256 00:19:07.920 --> 00:19:11.359 who can't help himself and runs on the field. Sean McVay drives me nuts. 257 00:19:11.400 --> 00:19:15.799 It's almost like he was running going for two again, just despite the 258 00:19:15.839 --> 00:19:18.039 referees. Well, you know what, you screwed us on that, We'll 259 00:19:18.039 --> 00:19:22.920 show you. We'll do it even five yards further back. Kick this out. 260 00:19:22.160 --> 00:19:26.279 Seventy reported sixty eight six. Here we go. Yeah, can you 261 00:19:26.279 --> 00:19:30.000 just explain the you know, the mentality to go for two there at the 262 00:19:30.039 --> 00:19:32.279 end. Obviously he wanted to keep the game in your hand and you try 263 00:19:32.319 --> 00:19:34.160 to win it. I told the offense that we were we were going down 264 00:19:34.200 --> 00:19:37.839 one forty one left, We're gonna go down to score and then we're gonna 265 00:19:37.839 --> 00:19:41.039 go for two and finish this game out. I told him that, and 266 00:19:41.240 --> 00:19:45.759 so that's what we were doing. And being backed up that didn't change anything. 267 00:19:45.839 --> 00:19:49.400 When you get backed up to there to the seven in from the two 268 00:19:49.400 --> 00:19:52.519 point played, did you think at all we were going for the win? 269 00:19:52.119 --> 00:19:56.559 Okay? He just like and all the media is just like, okay, 270 00:19:56.599 --> 00:20:00.440 I'm not gonna ask coul Kogan any more questions anymore. I got like, 271 00:20:00.720 --> 00:20:03.799 he looks like he wants to punch me. I'm not asking any more questions 272 00:20:03.920 --> 00:20:10.599 because at the seven yard line, Micah Parsons jumps off sides, so they 273 00:20:10.640 --> 00:20:14.839 go have to just have to this goal. So from the four yard line 274 00:20:14.960 --> 00:20:18.160 the lines go for two and run a play where, honestly, if Jared 275 00:20:18.160 --> 00:20:22.359 Goff could wait a little bit longer, he had laporta wide opening the end 276 00:20:22.440 --> 00:20:26.880 zone on the slant route. He misses the out route. He had the 277 00:20:26.920 --> 00:20:30.319 guy there too, and Jared Goff just made a bad throw because Cowboys pressure 278 00:20:30.359 --> 00:20:34.559 was in his face a little bit, and the Cowboys escape twenty to nineteen 279 00:20:34.640 --> 00:20:41.000 after the world thought they had just lost. And even though Micah was barely 280 00:20:41.079 --> 00:20:44.559 off sides on that play, it had no effect on the play. I 281 00:20:44.599 --> 00:20:47.599 don't even know if Goff knew that he had a free play. I don't 282 00:20:47.599 --> 00:20:51.440 know there. I don't think he did, but that would would have ended 283 00:20:51.480 --> 00:20:55.200 up a failed attempt as well. Yes, yeah, the couch, I 284 00:20:55.200 --> 00:20:56.519 mean they got to stop, that's the thing the cowboy. Yes, the 285 00:20:56.559 --> 00:21:00.319 Cowboys got to stop two times in a row after getting him backed up to 286 00:21:00.359 --> 00:21:03.599 the seven, and then I guess what the three and a half once the 287 00:21:03.599 --> 00:21:07.880 penalty was enforced. It just wasn't a good look for Detroit at all. 288 00:21:07.880 --> 00:21:11.359 It was not a good look for Dan Campbell man. I God, when 289 00:21:11.359 --> 00:21:14.799 you're at the seven, dude, okay, what if there'd have been a 290 00:21:14.839 --> 00:21:19.720 holding call instead of a you know, an ineligible receiver and then they're backed 291 00:21:19.759 --> 00:21:23.160 up to the to the twelve. Yeah, you know he's still gonna do 292 00:21:23.200 --> 00:21:27.359 it. I mean, what is the what the problem? What's the maximum 293 00:21:27.440 --> 00:21:30.519 wage? You know, how far back do you go before you all right, 294 00:21:30.640 --> 00:21:33.799 we'll just kick it and tie it. The odds have been he's so 295 00:21:34.000 --> 00:21:37.039 damn hardheaded. He could have been on the fifteen and still try to go 296 00:21:37.119 --> 00:21:41.200 for it. The odds are like, I mean, I don't know how 297 00:21:41.279 --> 00:21:45.039 much it decreases. It's not much, you know, from two to seven. 298 00:21:45.079 --> 00:21:48.279 But one thing about all that too, like the whole I'll run through 299 00:21:48.319 --> 00:21:52.480 a through a wall for this dude thing. That's all great, and that's 300 00:21:52.519 --> 00:21:57.039 good and you like it, but also, dude, at some point right 301 00:21:57.079 --> 00:22:02.839 there, kick it, tie and the other team you've been wearing out a 302 00:22:02.880 --> 00:22:06.039 little bit and they're left guards out and you know that's a weakness. It 303 00:22:06.160 --> 00:22:10.559 just seemed like all too easy of an equation. I'm pretty aggressive when it 304 00:22:10.559 --> 00:22:14.880 comes to football, too, Okay, So I'm I like when guys are 305 00:22:14.880 --> 00:22:17.359 going forward a lot on fourth down, and I think it makes a lot 306 00:22:17.359 --> 00:22:19.519 of sense sometimes, but boy, sometimes things come to play. Like dude, 307 00:22:19.640 --> 00:22:22.559 I don't know if he knew that Tyler Smith would not be returning. 308 00:22:22.640 --> 00:22:26.119 I don't know that, but it was pretty clear Tyler Smith was not returning. 309 00:22:27.079 --> 00:22:30.720 And that's a big part of the Cowboys in a big weakness that you 310 00:22:30.880 --> 00:22:34.799 probably could have attacked and maybe got in the winning overtime. Either way, 311 00:22:34.839 --> 00:22:38.440 doesn't matter. Cowboys win currently the two seed because the Eagles lost to the 312 00:22:38.480 --> 00:22:42.200 Cardinals, and the Eagles are in effing mess right now. They're gonna be 313 00:22:42.279 --> 00:22:45.160 in But we were talking about, Hey, we're on a crash course for 314 00:22:45.799 --> 00:22:48.839 taking on the Bucks in Tampa Bay and wildcard round. Now the Cowboys are 315 00:22:48.880 --> 00:22:52.880 going to host if they win the Sunday are going to host the first round 316 00:22:52.920 --> 00:22:57.039 playoff game. Their opponents look like it could be green Bay if the Packers 317 00:22:57.039 --> 00:23:02.119 beat the Bears, could be Seattle if Greenway was to lose. There's a 318 00:23:02.119 --> 00:23:03.640 lot we can get into. Yeah, let's get into that in about an 319 00:23:03.680 --> 00:23:07.480 hour from now at eight thirty, we'll hit all of this stuff Dingu's Morning 320 00:23:07.480 --> 00:23:12.759 News. We'll also we didn't even talk about the halftime ring of honor festivities 321 00:23:14.599 --> 00:23:18.759 and wild wireless Mike Jerry Ceedee, Lamb's day. Good lord, we've got 322 00:23:18.799 --> 00:23:23.119 to look at that as well. So much more to discuss from Cowboys lines. 323 00:23:23.160 --> 00:23:27.319 We'll do that definitely at eight thirty five, but coming up next, 324 00:23:27.440 --> 00:23:33.720 Kevin Turner has the scuttle butt, and boy the stories are abound. Yes, 325 00:23:33.799 --> 00:23:36.440 Danny, what better way to start off the year than by finding out 326 00:23:36.480 --> 00:23:40.480 which celebrities we're doing terrible things at Epstein Island on ninety seven to one, The Freak
