WEBVTT

1
00:00:00.080 --> 00:00:06.160
It's the Downbeat. I'm ninety seven
to one, the freak thirty minutes away.

2
00:00:06.559 --> 00:00:09.880
The guttle Butt's got you covered.
My traveling may not be a good

3
00:00:09.960 --> 00:00:14.000
idea. At least you need to
do a little research. What's going on

4
00:00:14.080 --> 00:00:21.440
with your plane after a gaping whole
situation in mid air? Plus the story

5
00:00:21.480 --> 00:00:29.920
that stole the internet this weekend Best
Pro Shop cannonball Man hero he is a

6
00:00:29.960 --> 00:00:34.600
hero, is a little fella.
How did you make to get him on

7
00:00:35.200 --> 00:00:43.640
this week much? Yeah, I
also have dangling I guess the interview request

8
00:00:43.679 --> 00:00:47.719
with people who were on the on
the plane on the Alaska Airlines plants and

9
00:00:47.719 --> 00:00:52.159
we'll tell you more about that in
thirty minutes, Budge. Right now,

10
00:00:52.240 --> 00:00:55.560
let's get right to it. The
Cowboys are topic a this morning in the

11
00:00:55.600 --> 00:01:00.960
Metroplex, and we get you covered
here on the Downbeat. Just god,

12
00:01:06.519 --> 00:01:15.120
and now the sports at seven.
All right, so we knew yesterday Cowboys

13
00:01:15.120 --> 00:01:21.120
are in. But you could fudge
it up and be the three seed,

14
00:01:22.480 --> 00:01:25.560
lose the division. You know,
there's a lot of things could have fell

15
00:01:25.599 --> 00:01:27.200
out to the five seed if the
Eagles would have won, well, Eagles

16
00:01:27.280 --> 00:01:30.760
end up losing. The Eagles were
losing twenty four to nothing at halftime,

17
00:01:30.799 --> 00:01:34.239
so you kind of knew were Cruise
Control were in good shape, but doesn't

18
00:01:34.239 --> 00:01:38.480
mean that they're with some weird things. Yesterday's game I did not love forty

19
00:01:38.480 --> 00:01:44.200
five minutes before the game learning that
Zach Martin's out like Tyler Smith. We

20
00:01:44.280 --> 00:01:49.400
knew, yeah, but Zach being
out with illness, right illness, And

21
00:01:49.439 --> 00:01:53.319
I'm like, okay, that reeks
of danger. Anytime a Cowboy the Cowboys

22
00:01:53.319 --> 00:01:59.519
are missing a key offensive lineman like
Tyrone or Zach Martin, it always feels

23
00:01:59.519 --> 00:02:05.120
like chaos would ensue and the quarterback
would immediately be in danger. And man,

24
00:02:05.159 --> 00:02:07.480
I'll tell you what, yesterday is
the best run games looked in a

25
00:02:07.480 --> 00:02:12.080
long time. Tony Pollard looked like
old Tony Pollard. Yeah, sure do.

26
00:02:12.240 --> 00:02:14.039
And that first drive was a lot
of fun. I mean, the

27
00:02:14.039 --> 00:02:16.280
Cowboys looked like an unstoppable force.
They Washington gets the ball first. They

28
00:02:16.360 --> 00:02:21.960
go for it on fourth and one
twice because you know it was a tricks

29
00:02:22.039 --> 00:02:23.879
game for them, didn't care.
They're probably trying to lose that game,

30
00:02:23.919 --> 00:02:30.439
honestly. But the Cowboys get the
ball and then it is Brandon Cooks,

31
00:02:30.520 --> 00:02:34.039
Let's get you the ball let's get
seedee lamb the ball, of course,

32
00:02:34.560 --> 00:02:37.719
and Tony Pollards the ball. My
favorite play was the wheel route to Tony

33
00:02:37.759 --> 00:02:40.479
Pollard, which you went up and
on a fifty to fifty ball and you

34
00:02:40.560 --> 00:02:44.280
yanked it out of the hands of
the dB. Yeah, that was hot

35
00:02:44.680 --> 00:02:46.520
inside the five. That was a
fun play. Mid air, Tony Pollard

36
00:02:47.280 --> 00:02:53.439
Pollard hit a thou it becomes the
sixth running back in team history app consecutive

37
00:02:53.439 --> 00:02:55.800
thousand yard seasons. The other five. Okay, I did not know that.

38
00:02:57.759 --> 00:03:01.800
Let's hear it? Am it?
Yeah? Yes, Tony, yes,

39
00:03:02.120 --> 00:03:07.080
Marco Murray, yes, okay,
Dad, this is oh Zeke of

40
00:03:07.080 --> 00:03:13.879
course. The other one is the
other one. McFadden, No, is

41
00:03:13.919 --> 00:03:16.240
it? Are we going to old
school? Yes? Walt? No,

42
00:03:19.879 --> 00:03:24.759
how old school? Nineties? Uh? No, eighties, keep going way

43
00:03:24.800 --> 00:03:34.759
back. Seventies. Yes, boy, I'm gonna have trouble. No Walter,

44
00:03:34.879 --> 00:03:36.919
wait, wait wait, Walt Garrison, No, no, no,

45
00:03:36.800 --> 00:03:46.400
no, good lord, come on, come on. Seventy seven years old?

46
00:03:46.479 --> 00:03:50.400
Billy, Oh never mind? No, what's his name? Start with

47
00:03:51.560 --> 00:03:55.479
his name? Starts with Calvin cal
Calvin Hill. You got it? Eh,

48
00:03:55.599 --> 00:04:00.560
that's a well polar joins. Uh
you know, could come there?

49
00:04:00.919 --> 00:04:03.400
No, absolutely, and it's a
year where even he last week was doing

50
00:04:03.400 --> 00:04:05.919
interviews with the media. So it
hasn't been a great year for me.

51
00:04:06.599 --> 00:04:13.479
But Mankel's feels fine, and I
think we're gonna start seeing some explosive plays

52
00:04:13.560 --> 00:04:17.759
and we finally got some Heald good
and it is strange. Rico Daudell looks

53
00:04:17.800 --> 00:04:23.920
good, dude. I love Rico
daddle will always have, but he's always

54
00:04:23.959 --> 00:04:27.800
hurt. But he is a little
He's a good little toy. And they

55
00:04:27.800 --> 00:04:30.600
gave the ball and a hand off
to Turpin yesterday too, which is kind

56
00:04:30.600 --> 00:04:34.480
of cool, just to mix up
the burst and just speed of the game

57
00:04:34.639 --> 00:04:41.759
changes just a little bit. So
Rico'd Daddell picking up that blitz was probably

58
00:04:41.759 --> 00:04:46.079
his play of the game. Yes, well, that game, well,

59
00:04:46.279 --> 00:04:49.639
there's a lot of unsung plays that
we like, almost forget about, dude.

60
00:04:49.720 --> 00:04:56.600
Jordan Lewis makes a big play every
week and we don't ever talk about

61
00:04:56.639 --> 00:04:59.600
it really unless it's a turnover,
because he has a bit of a turnover

62
00:04:59.680 --> 00:05:04.319
head on that was incredible. The
strip and like in the middle of a

63
00:05:04.399 --> 00:05:09.399
run to take it out of the
hands of Brian Robinson and then come away

64
00:05:09.439 --> 00:05:11.920
with it. You get the ball
back and the right thing. You're going,

65
00:05:11.959 --> 00:05:15.160
game's over, and it's not what
happened, but you were thinking it

66
00:05:15.600 --> 00:05:17.639
because of how good they looked on
that first drive. That was Cowboys,

67
00:05:17.959 --> 00:05:21.279
I thought, because we talked about
last week, how you know, weird

68
00:05:21.319 --> 00:05:29.160
things happened up there in DC,
especially in week eighteen, and that thing

69
00:05:29.199 --> 00:05:31.879
could have gone the other way.
But that was definitely a team that probably,

70
00:05:31.879 --> 00:05:33.920
like you said, probably wanted to
lose, but it was also a

71
00:05:34.040 --> 00:05:39.800
very let's just steady hand this.
You know, we've got the weird deck

72
00:05:39.920 --> 00:05:45.959
interception, the blocked field goal.
I mean, those things were kind of

73
00:05:46.000 --> 00:05:50.839
falling in line with the I don't
know, the haunted, that haunted city

74
00:05:50.920 --> 00:05:55.639
or that haunted team. It just
things are weird when you play up in

75
00:05:55.800 --> 00:05:58.519
Washington, and they could have gone
the other way, but the Cowboys,

76
00:05:58.639 --> 00:06:02.639
like, you know what, steady
hand, steady hand, steady hand usually

77
00:06:02.680 --> 00:06:06.240
works. Now, the Aubrey field
goal, it's seven to nothing. The

78
00:06:06.279 --> 00:06:11.519
Aubrey field goal gets blocked. There's
something off the left side there. I

79
00:06:11.560 --> 00:06:15.560
don't know what happened, but Washington
returns it and they end up scoring in

80
00:06:15.639 --> 00:06:17.600
another fourth and goal with the one
after they ran the worst trick play.

81
00:06:18.240 --> 00:06:23.759
They ran a trick play that got
in about three yards, the reverse pass

82
00:06:24.319 --> 00:06:27.480
and we're gonna throw it to Sam
Howe and tiptoes out of bounds for three

83
00:06:27.600 --> 00:06:30.920
yards, and you go, man, was that all worth it? But

84
00:06:30.959 --> 00:06:33.600
they end up scoring there, I
mean seven to seven going to the to

85
00:06:33.600 --> 00:06:36.079
the second quarter. Then they let
them get the leads. It's ten to

86
00:06:36.079 --> 00:06:40.879
seven. Throw about twenty minutes of
this game, and you're going, well,

87
00:06:40.879 --> 00:06:43.519
you're only gonna have to slug it
out with them today. I don't

88
00:06:43.959 --> 00:06:46.639
know if that was what you wanted. And then once the Cowboys got the

89
00:06:46.680 --> 00:06:49.600
ball the next time, it was
over. It's kind of telling, though,

90
00:06:49.639 --> 00:06:54.680
when Washington came out that first drive, they're running all these gadget plays.

91
00:06:55.399 --> 00:06:59.240
It just it should have been reassuring. If you have a steady hand

92
00:06:59.279 --> 00:07:02.519
mindset that this is clearly all they
have, that's what. Just wait this

93
00:07:02.639 --> 00:07:06.959
out. It's gonna be all right. Aaron Andrews said the Mike McCarthy halftime

94
00:07:09.000 --> 00:07:13.519
chat that she had with him.
He basically said, it's getting chippy out

95
00:07:13.519 --> 00:07:15.800
there. I want our players to
stay focused because they're gonna run every play

96
00:07:15.800 --> 00:07:19.639
in the playbook. And that's when
with the Cowys got fourteen to ten,

97
00:07:19.720 --> 00:07:23.959
and that was the drive where they
ran into a lot of Tony Pollard on

98
00:07:24.000 --> 00:07:28.240
that drive fourteen ten and then to
me, ultimately it's the play of the

99
00:07:28.279 --> 00:07:33.800
game in terms of just swinging the
game. DeMarcus Lawrence, who still out

100
00:07:33.800 --> 00:07:38.000
of just don't think gets enough credit
in this town, criminal that he's not

101
00:07:38.040 --> 00:07:44.759
in the Pro Bowl. Hit Sam
Howe and Howel's passes, you know,

102
00:07:44.920 --> 00:07:49.120
altered and picked off by Donovan Wilson
for another interception for Donovan Wilson, and

103
00:07:49.160 --> 00:07:53.839
then Cowways get it score twenty one
to ten, get the ball coming out

104
00:07:53.839 --> 00:07:57.759
of the half, score again twenty
eight ten. Game over, Cowboys went

105
00:07:57.800 --> 00:08:03.199
thirty eight ten. It's pretty easy. Ceede Lamb had two touchdowns. Dak

106
00:08:03.279 --> 00:08:05.279
looked and crowd. Dak might have
been putting a hey, don't forget about

107
00:08:05.279 --> 00:08:11.199
me for MVP, you know,
like definitely in that conversation, should be

108
00:08:11.240 --> 00:08:18.199
at least he was magnificent yesterday.
He was absolutely magnificent. That game gave

109
00:08:18.240 --> 00:08:24.360
you for a Cowboy team that has
kind of flopped around a little bit like

110
00:08:24.399 --> 00:08:28.079
a fish on the deck of a
boat after that Bills game boy, that

111
00:08:28.240 --> 00:08:31.960
was what you wanted. I know, the Commanders are terrible, but look

112
00:08:33.000 --> 00:08:35.240
to be able to put all those
pieces together, run the ball better,

113
00:08:37.200 --> 00:08:43.200
get turnovers. They didn't have their
first penalty until what was it, like

114
00:08:43.559 --> 00:08:46.600
five minutes left in the third.
That's a huge, huge deal for them,

115
00:08:46.879 --> 00:08:50.440
Yeah, being the most penalized team
in the league, So I think

116
00:08:50.480 --> 00:08:54.879
they. I don't know. I'd
rather see a performance like that from a

117
00:08:54.919 --> 00:08:58.960
team that's going into the playoffs than
what you got from Philly. Oh yeah,

118
00:08:58.960 --> 00:09:01.399
more than what we seem to see
like every year here where it's like

119
00:09:01.480 --> 00:09:05.559
resting people in Week eighteen, just
kind of backpedaling in there. This whole

120
00:09:05.559 --> 00:09:09.720
thing. We kind of needed to
play, and you did and you get

121
00:09:09.720 --> 00:09:16.320
the win. And the only thing
that could backfire here through all this is

122
00:09:16.360 --> 00:09:18.559
if steff On Gilmore is hurt.
Now after the game he said he's good

123
00:09:18.600 --> 00:09:26.000
to go. Dislocated shoulder. Basically
they are waiting on for all of that.

124
00:09:26.399 --> 00:09:31.879
Yeah, but now that changes a
lot with your defense because then you

125
00:09:31.960 --> 00:09:37.720
have to have guys like Nashon Wright
go in there and play and they immediately

126
00:09:37.759 --> 00:09:41.720
become the mark. Look the boy, we all know how much you hate

127
00:09:41.759 --> 00:09:48.440
him, right Kevin, Uh,
Yeah, I don't love him. Probably

128
00:09:48.480 --> 00:09:52.600
a nice guy. And look,
I know I promised I would cut down

129
00:09:52.600 --> 00:09:56.159
on my nation right rants, But
but you guys get mad at me when

130
00:09:56.200 --> 00:10:00.399
I talk about McCarthy. So it's
like, whatever, Gilmore you he told

131
00:10:00.440 --> 00:10:03.200
Macarthy, I'm fine, I'll be
ready to go. But also what if

132
00:10:03.200 --> 00:10:07.559
the doctor's like, no, he's
not. You know, That's where I'm

133
00:10:07.600 --> 00:10:09.720
like, Okay, the player can
say that you were in a sling.

134
00:10:11.240 --> 00:10:13.559
He's a wily old bet he knows
what he's dealing with. Yeah, he

135
00:10:13.600 --> 00:10:16.759
wouldn't have said that if he didn't
mean it. You know, he had

136
00:10:16.799 --> 00:10:20.240
a cool interception on that first drive. And it was kind of cool though,

137
00:10:20.279 --> 00:10:24.919
because when he missed it, you
could see the wind, how visible

138
00:10:24.960 --> 00:10:28.639
the wind is blowing his long sleeves
and you could just see how windy it

139
00:10:28.759 --> 00:10:31.960
was down there his sweat suit that
he wears when he's playing football. That

140
00:10:31.960 --> 00:10:37.279
would have been a sweet interception.
The the Gilmore thing. If he's fine,

141
00:10:39.039 --> 00:10:43.000
then good. So a quick look
ahead. Doctor Gold said he's cleared

142
00:10:43.000 --> 00:10:50.279
to play, okay, And what
about doctor TiO Sorrel agreed, once we

143
00:10:50.279 --> 00:10:54.039
get into my MRI, or reach
out to doctor TiO Sorrel and see what

144
00:10:54.080 --> 00:10:58.879
the status is. But also asked
him about plant or festi itis just for

145
00:10:58.039 --> 00:11:01.639
us our audience out there who might
be going through it, and Tyler Smith

146
00:11:03.840 --> 00:11:11.519
just hey, Metroplex. First of
all, wake up two. You got

147
00:11:11.519 --> 00:11:16.039
a Packers expert on the downbeat this
week for Packers Cowboys week. That's you.

148
00:11:16.200 --> 00:11:18.200
And here's how you lose the game
to the Packers right now. I'm

149
00:11:18.200 --> 00:11:22.960
gon give you the early and it's
just by not doing what you need to

150
00:11:22.960 --> 00:11:26.879
do on offense. This will be
the worst defense that you've maybe ever played

151
00:11:26.879 --> 00:11:30.799
in the playoffs. Listen to the
host of Where's My Cheese? Yeah,

152
00:11:30.840 --> 00:11:35.320
who moved my cheese? Yes,
thirty points If you don't get thirty points

153
00:11:35.960 --> 00:11:39.799
and maybe you neat thirty five.
If you don't get thirty points against the

154
00:11:39.799 --> 00:11:46.399
Packers, that's embarrassing. This will
be one of the worst secondaries Dak Prescott

155
00:11:46.480 --> 00:11:52.200
has ever played in the playoffs.
Now. Offensively, though, the Packers

156
00:11:52.200 --> 00:11:56.320
are playing pretty good on offense right
now, and you'd like to have both

157
00:11:56.360 --> 00:12:00.759
corners, you know, to kind
of come through and be there for you

158
00:12:00.799 --> 00:12:03.279
to help stop them, because they
have four wide receivers who are decent and

159
00:12:03.320 --> 00:12:09.480
a pretty good offensive scheme and the
quarterbacks playing well they're playing like they're peaking,

160
00:12:09.440 --> 00:12:13.480
So there is a chance your defense
does give up twenty five, twenty

161
00:12:13.480 --> 00:12:18.000
six, twenty seven, twenty eight
points against the Packers. You lose this

162
00:12:18.120 --> 00:12:20.440
gate. The offense has to destroy
them, and they they will so it

163
00:12:20.440 --> 00:12:24.200
won't be a problem. But let's
rest it there and go. They ain't

164
00:12:24.200 --> 00:12:26.240
gonna help because the Packers, I
do think, are going to score points

165
00:12:26.240 --> 00:12:28.240
against the Cowboys defense. I do
think that Jordan Law has been kind of

166
00:12:28.279 --> 00:12:35.440
lighting it up for two months.
Huh yeah, after two months of kind

167
00:12:35.440 --> 00:12:39.440
of being mad, yep, and
they finally took off the They basically just

168
00:12:39.480 --> 00:12:43.000
said, here, we're gonna let
you have the whole offense now. They

169
00:12:43.000 --> 00:12:48.799
took off the restraining bolt. Took
off the restraining bolt which Darren Sharper needs

170
00:12:48.799 --> 00:12:52.799
on his Wiener. Did you see
the jail opening line? You guys see

171
00:12:52.840 --> 00:12:56.120
it? Yeah? Seven and a
half? That's right? Is that right?

172
00:12:56.480 --> 00:12:58.639
I think it technically opened at seven, but it's already at seven and

173
00:12:58.679 --> 00:13:03.720
a half. It's probably Cowboys by
seven and a half. That is the

174
00:13:03.919 --> 00:13:09.200
second largest spread of Super Wildcard weekend, after the Bills at minus nine and

175
00:13:09.240 --> 00:13:15.480
a half hosting the Steelers. I'm
not gonna blow through my Packers chamber all

176
00:13:15.559 --> 00:13:22.600
today. Yeah, it's a long
week. Definitely a better, I think,

177
00:13:22.600 --> 00:13:26.840
a better matchup than the Rams.
I think just because Cooper Cup and

178
00:13:26.879 --> 00:13:31.919
Pooka and Akoua and Kirra and Williams
and the way the Rams has just been

179
00:13:31.919 --> 00:13:35.679
playing too makes you not. But
the Rams took the day off Fisher Day

180
00:13:35.759 --> 00:13:39.960
kind of you know. It was
a Carson Wentz versus Sam Darnold game,

181
00:13:39.000 --> 00:13:41.399
which was really weird, and that
game could have gone different ways. I

182
00:13:41.399 --> 00:13:46.480
mean, the forty nine Ers were
two or three plays. It was kind

183
00:13:46.480 --> 00:13:50.480
of fun to watch after the games
that had happened and the Cowboys are kind

184
00:13:50.519 --> 00:13:54.240
of closing up shop. It was
kind of fun to watch the forty nine

185
00:13:54.320 --> 00:13:56.799
Ers and Rams in that game because
the forty nine Ers are two catches away

186
00:13:56.840 --> 00:14:01.279
from being in field goal range kicking
a field goal, and it's Cowboys and

187
00:14:01.320 --> 00:14:07.000
it's Packers Lions, which me a
lifelong Packers fan who wants the Cowboys to

188
00:14:07.039 --> 00:14:11.600
do well. I wanted Detroit.
Detroit tight end Samuel Porta is probably gonna

189
00:14:11.600 --> 00:14:13.559
be out now. He got hurt. Yeah, they were playing. He's

190
00:14:13.639 --> 00:14:20.080
really good. Yeah, he's kind
of an ugly knee mcl hyper extension,

191
00:14:20.360 --> 00:14:24.519
John bruised type thing. He's gonna
miss time. They think it's Dan Campbell.

192
00:14:24.600 --> 00:14:28.159
God, I mean he was like, screw it, we're playing no

193
00:14:28.200 --> 00:14:31.759
matter what. We're not resting.
We're playing our guys. They gotta learn

194
00:14:31.799 --> 00:14:35.000
battle tested to all that stuff.
It's like, God, why are these

195
00:14:35.000 --> 00:14:37.200
guys killing their players though they didn't
have to do that. You know,

196
00:14:37.480 --> 00:14:41.440
this is better for the Cowboys though, because if it was the Rams coming

197
00:14:41.480 --> 00:14:43.960
here, it probably would have been
what five and a half maybe four?

198
00:14:45.240 --> 00:14:46.720
No, No, it's this is
better for sure. Although I mean I

199
00:14:46.720 --> 00:14:50.480
said the Packers beat the Rams twenty
to three this year. Yeah, and

200
00:14:50.519 --> 00:14:54.480
I'm not. We're not hanging victories
up yet, but the path is clear

201
00:14:54.720 --> 00:14:58.960
and it's not too bad. No. I mean, you have the pack

202
00:15:00.799 --> 00:15:07.679
at home, then you'll you'll have
either the Lions, Bucks or Eagles at

203
00:15:07.679 --> 00:15:11.240
home. And if the Rams win
that game, then they go they're the

204
00:15:11.240 --> 00:15:13.320
only ones we can't play. I
think, yeah, the Rams are the

205
00:15:13.360 --> 00:15:16.240
ones you can't. So, I
mean, do any of those three terrify

206
00:15:16.320 --> 00:15:18.960
you? Certainly not the Bucks,
the Eagles shouldn't. The Lions are a

207
00:15:18.960 --> 00:15:24.759
good team, but Cowboys will be
favored against all three and sports gun to

208
00:15:24.799 --> 00:15:28.120
my head, I think the Cowboys
will beat all three of those at home.

209
00:15:28.200 --> 00:15:31.559
Considering how good the Cowboys are at
home. We're not jumping all the

210
00:15:31.600 --> 00:15:35.360
way, but I mean this is
on collision course to head to the Bay

211
00:15:35.399 --> 00:15:39.000
Area in the damn NFC Championship game. I'm glad you said everything you just

212
00:15:39.039 --> 00:15:41.720
said, because I think I teased
this is the best chance in the DAK

213
00:15:41.720 --> 00:15:45.679
Prescott era to win a Super Bowl. You did. The reason I think

214
00:15:45.720 --> 00:15:50.279
that is because of what you just
said and the Rams if they beat the

215
00:15:50.279 --> 00:15:52.840
Lions IFFs here. But the Rams
are a team who can go beat the

216
00:15:52.840 --> 00:15:56.360
forty nine ers. The forty nine
ers are the one team I don't think

217
00:15:56.399 --> 00:15:58.720
the Cowboys can beat. I mean
that, I really don't think they can

218
00:15:58.759 --> 00:16:03.360
line up and beat them. I
think the Rams can because the Rams playing

219
00:16:03.440 --> 00:16:07.120
twice a year, and Sean McVay
knows Kyle Shanahan really well, and there's

220
00:16:07.159 --> 00:16:11.200
all a big setup there, Like, that's the team who can go beat

221
00:16:11.200 --> 00:16:15.240
the forty nine ers, maybe the
only team in the conference who can go

222
00:16:15.279 --> 00:16:19.519
beat the forty nine ers as currently
constructed and healthy. As constructed, it's

223
00:16:19.559 --> 00:16:23.120
the Rams and That's where I'm kind
of like, what if the Rams take

224
00:16:23.159 --> 00:16:27.720
care of that for you, and
then maybe you're hosting an NFC championship game.

225
00:16:27.759 --> 00:16:33.720
And I know we're jumping way ahead
here, but there's a path that

226
00:16:33.759 --> 00:16:38.639
has more positive outcomes for you here
because you did your job when a division,

227
00:16:38.679 --> 00:16:42.159
you got the two and thanks to
the Eagles for losing, you know,

228
00:16:42.519 --> 00:16:45.240
to the Cardinals last week and a
lot of things that happened there,

229
00:16:45.279 --> 00:16:48.320
because the Eagles probably would have played
seriously yesterday if they would have won last

230
00:16:48.320 --> 00:16:52.679
week, and that would have been
a different thing. But I think this

231
00:16:52.759 --> 00:16:56.120
is like we're kind of in like
no excuses mode. This is the year

232
00:16:56.159 --> 00:17:00.600
that you get to the championship game. We've been talking about this for I

233
00:17:00.639 --> 00:17:04.119
mean, I thought it was highly
interesting. There were two articles that that

234
00:17:04.440 --> 00:17:08.440
kind of came out before the week. Well and who knows, maybe it's

235
00:17:08.440 --> 00:17:14.200
all just NFL clickbait horse crab.
One of them was David Moore Dallas Morning

236
00:17:14.240 --> 00:17:17.599
News about how this is probably it
for Dan Quinn, which we said that

237
00:17:17.680 --> 00:17:22.799
last year, but what was his
quote last week? I don't want to

238
00:17:22.839 --> 00:17:27.400
see another person coaching these guys.
Has he said that? I read that

239
00:17:27.480 --> 00:17:30.599
quote with Dan Quinn said, I
don't want to see another coach coaching this

240
00:17:30.599 --> 00:17:33.079
this unit. Well, I mean, I don't know that Dan Quick will

241
00:17:33.079 --> 00:17:36.880
get a we'll get a head coaching
job. He might, but I mean

242
00:17:36.920 --> 00:17:40.480
he's going to be pursued like he
is every year. We thought he was

243
00:17:40.480 --> 00:17:48.599
gone. Last year he not wanted. And if he does, okay,

244
00:17:48.160 --> 00:17:52.640
but you know who knows I and
if Jerry's paying him like we don't even

245
00:17:52.759 --> 00:17:56.799
know, but it can be whatever
whatever he wants. What if he's paying

246
00:17:56.880 --> 00:18:00.079
him head coaching money right now,
we don't even know it. Just like

247
00:18:00.200 --> 00:18:04.759
Dan, just stay here. We
got something pretty kick ass happening. I

248
00:18:04.799 --> 00:18:11.960
think the NFL network report was involved
Mike McCarthy and that it was basically termed

249
00:18:11.440 --> 00:18:18.799
if it's an embarrassing loss, then
they'll be moving on an embarrassing playoff loss

250
00:18:18.559 --> 00:18:25.720
or from McCarthy, yeah, well, you cannot consider enough. I mean,

251
00:18:25.799 --> 00:18:30.119
we've seen in sports really good teams
go through a rough patch at the

252
00:18:30.200 --> 00:18:33.279
end of the end of seasons.
Hell, the Rangers, you could put

253
00:18:33.319 --> 00:18:38.599
that tag on them, But good
lord man, this this stretch that the

254
00:18:38.640 --> 00:18:44.400
Eagles are on, you cannot cite
that enough as being integral and where the

255
00:18:44.480 --> 00:18:48.759
Cowboys are right now, Yeah,
by parts of unbelievable, how much they

256
00:18:48.799 --> 00:18:55.799
have been in the last two months, just exposed well, we needed it,

257
00:18:55.839 --> 00:18:57.480
they had to, We needed them
to collapse. That was a one

258
00:18:57.599 --> 00:19:03.279
loss team just a few weeks back
because the Cowboys DEI lost to Buffalo and

259
00:19:03.279 --> 00:19:07.000
lost to Miami, and those are
not shameful losses, right, but knowing

260
00:19:07.039 --> 00:19:11.240
that they weren't going to sweep through
that brutal run of the Cowboys schedule,

261
00:19:11.279 --> 00:19:14.720
you needed so much help from the
Eagles. You got more than you need.

262
00:19:15.160 --> 00:19:18.920
You know. The Eagles started playing
bad after they beat the Cowboys at

263
00:19:18.920 --> 00:19:22.039
home, but the Cowboys did put
up thirty on them or something and exposed

264
00:19:22.079 --> 00:19:25.119
them pretty good. Right there,
is like, hey, this is a

265
00:19:25.160 --> 00:19:27.839
team that could be scored on easily. Cowboys defense kind of let them down

266
00:19:27.839 --> 00:19:32.559
a little bit that game. Forty
nine Ers went out and destroyed them,

267
00:19:32.960 --> 00:19:36.640
and they had tough runs, but
they did not handle the gauntlet as well

268
00:19:36.640 --> 00:19:40.119
as the Cowboys did, you know, And we talked about the Bills game,

269
00:19:40.279 --> 00:19:42.039
you know, suppose to the Cowboys
a little bit too. But the

270
00:19:42.079 --> 00:19:45.920
Bills are playing good and on a
heater of the hottest team in football right

271
00:19:45.960 --> 00:19:48.519
now, maybe the buzz saw you
could run into on that side. There's

272
00:19:48.559 --> 00:19:52.160
no buzz saw on the NFC side. Besides the fact that you have this

273
00:19:52.200 --> 00:19:56.160
team hanging out that's just more physical
and better than you in San Francisco.

274
00:19:56.720 --> 00:20:00.079
But what's a team that knows,
like a seem that you can beat that

275
00:20:00.119 --> 00:20:03.119
type of team it seemed that plays
him twice a year already and knows them

276
00:20:03.119 --> 00:20:07.039
in and out and beat him once. This so granted it was meaningless.

277
00:20:07.279 --> 00:20:12.079
It was Carson Wentz. But Rams
beat the forty nine ers once, and

278
00:20:12.119 --> 00:20:15.759
in week two, the forty nine
ers beat the Rams thirty to twenty three.

279
00:20:17.759 --> 00:20:19.440
Yeah. I don't remember the specifics, but I mean that's at least

280
00:20:19.519 --> 00:20:26.440
uh pretty close. If you lost, I guarantee you. McCarthy did not.

281
00:20:26.680 --> 00:20:29.200
He would not tell you this,
I guarantee you. And he had

282
00:20:29.240 --> 00:20:33.200
a really good answer to the to
the press yesterday when he said he was

283
00:20:33.240 --> 00:20:34.640
asked about the He goes, I'm
sure y'all are going to love the drama

284
00:20:34.720 --> 00:20:37.319
of this week, but I'm not
here for that. It doesn't matter who

285
00:20:37.319 --> 00:20:41.759
you're playing in the playoffs. He's
right, but I think he really believes

286
00:20:41.799 --> 00:20:44.720
that though he did not want the
Packers. He does not, because if

287
00:20:44.720 --> 00:20:47.920
you lose this game, you're dude
there, you can't bring him back.

288
00:20:48.759 --> 00:20:52.480
You can't. So if they lose
a week from right now, we and

289
00:20:52.519 --> 00:20:57.279
everyone's yelling to fire McCarthy, No
are we are not? I'm not,

290
00:20:57.759 --> 00:21:00.759
he is. He's got a you're
left on his contract. Why wouldn't you

291
00:21:00.759 --> 00:21:07.160
want to get you at least look
and see see who's available. Why would

292
00:21:07.200 --> 00:21:10.799
you not try to upgrade? How
about Bill Belichick's available? I mean,

293
00:21:11.000 --> 00:21:14.599
look, come on, I'm the
game doesn't know if he's a good coach

294
00:21:14.680 --> 00:21:18.400
or not. I think you just
got the luckiest quarterback ever. Like they've

295
00:21:18.400 --> 00:21:23.480
had the best defensive football many times. He's a defensive whiz. And boy,

296
00:21:23.519 --> 00:21:30.359
no team has been insert player here
and still being good. Then that

297
00:21:30.359 --> 00:21:37.519
that Patriots two decade run they traded
players and let players walk every five minutes

298
00:21:38.119 --> 00:21:42.400
for the last at least five years, is a player evaluation. They've drafted

299
00:21:42.480 --> 00:21:48.000
terribly because they let that dog draft
those picks. But it's not out of

300
00:21:48.000 --> 00:21:52.720
the realm that one week from right
now, if that we could be yelling,

301
00:21:52.799 --> 00:21:57.640
oh my god, Bill Belichick,
we should table this because it is

302
00:21:57.680 --> 00:22:02.799
a little bigger discussion, and there
are like what are the names and alternatives

303
00:22:03.200 --> 00:22:07.480
that would make you and is it
even realistic? Is it irrational to one

304
00:22:07.480 --> 00:22:11.079
of a guy who's finally taking you
to the playoffs three straight years something you've

305
00:22:11.079 --> 00:22:18.160
been do? But are you prepared? This is the whole thing about that

306
00:22:18.240 --> 00:22:22.039
report. Losing an embarrassing fashion lose. I you're running back getting trucked from

307
00:22:22.079 --> 00:22:27.039
the center position. Okay, who
cares about that louse trying to get a

308
00:22:27.039 --> 00:22:30.440
playoff when there's no time left on
the clock. I mean, we know

309
00:22:30.480 --> 00:22:33.839
what people are gonna do. People
are gonna blame it on Mica not getting

310
00:22:33.880 --> 00:22:36.960
holding calls. I know how this
works, but I'm just saying, if

311
00:22:37.000 --> 00:22:41.759
it happens, you can look at
the coach that the second scariest team in

312
00:22:41.799 --> 00:22:45.400
the NFC right now, They absolutely
are, and the path is it lies

313
00:22:45.440 --> 00:22:51.519
ahead and it's somewhat realistic that they
could that they you just should they should

314
00:22:52.240 --> 00:22:55.920
be playing in the NFC champions You
just said it. So if they lose

315
00:22:55.960 --> 00:22:59.400
this Saturday or Sunday, then the
second most dangerous team of the NFC,

316
00:22:59.480 --> 00:23:00.920
then they have to be in the
NFC Championship. Does it depend on how

317
00:23:00.960 --> 00:23:04.400
they lose, though, it absolutely
does. Okay, if there's some weird

318
00:23:04.440 --> 00:23:08.400
clock management thing or oh we ran
out of timeouts and we shouldn't have,

319
00:23:08.680 --> 00:23:12.200
or some dumb decision to go for
it on fourth down when you don't really

320
00:23:12.279 --> 00:23:15.960
need to. Yeah, I could
see that. But if Dat goes out

321
00:23:15.000 --> 00:23:19.920
there and has an inexplainable three interception
game and it and they turn the ball

322
00:23:19.960 --> 00:23:23.319
over, that's not on. That's
not on Mike, and he should be

323
00:23:23.400 --> 00:23:30.640
here. We'll see. This is
gonna be juice art smashing. There's twenty

324
00:23:30.759 --> 00:23:34.799
days from today, Cowboys at forty
nine ers. Let's go. I'll see

325
00:23:34.839 --> 00:23:40.400

we'll have more on that throughout the day,

326
00:23:40.480 --> 00:23:42.359
throughout the week. You all know
what's going on. I'm Kevin with
