N D: I like that.
N D: Oh, I gotcha.
KTS with Decker, Dix and Angry Mike: Yeah.
N D: Alright.
KTS with Decker, Dix and Angry Mike: You know, when we say. Don't listen to our picks because our picks really suck.

KTS with Decker, Dix and Angry Mike: Oh.
angrymike: They do. Yeah, they did they do suck.
N D: So.
KTS with Decker, Dix and Angry Mike: Yeah. yeah
angrymike: yeah We don't know what we're talking about.
KTS with Decker, Dix and Angry Mike: Exactly.
N D: So chad's Chad's really excited today. He wanted to get on as quick as possible because he wants it. Just raw. One of the. Few undefeated teams left in the.
N D: NFL the Minnesota Vikings. Congratulations on the win, Chad.
KTS with Decker, Dix and Angry Mike: Hey Hey. It was ugly.
angrymike: ah
N D: It was...
KTS with Decker, Dix and Angry Mike: But, you know... It was ugly, but hey. It still counts as a win.
N D: Yep.
KTS with Decker, Dix and Angry Mike: Right?
N D: Yep.
angrymike: Oh, 100%.
KTS with Decker, Dix and Angry Mike: Yeah.
angrymike: I never apologize for a win, especially with the way the Packers are sitting.
KTS with Decker, Dix and Angry Mike: Yeah. well
N D: Yeah.
angrymike: Hell, I'll i'll take any win that happens.
N D: Well, Chad said they're going 7 -0, so you're... You're almost halfway there.
KTS with Decker, Dix and Angry Mike: Well, I like how they're sitting.
N D: Oh.
KTS with Decker, Dix and Angry Mike: They got the Dolphins next week and they just lost their stud running back. And I mean, it's it's setting up. Pretty good for the bikes.
N D: Yeah.
KTS with Decker, Dix and Angry Mike: Bye. That's for another day. That's for another day. A little worried about Jefferson, those ankle issues. Man, they really kind of linger on, you know. ah Some smart aleck guy that I was talking to earlier said it might be a...
KTS with Decker, Dix and Angry Mike: What was it, a grade two, Nolan, you said? or what
N D: I think so.
angrymike: Yeah.
N D: i heard
KTS with Decker, Dix and Angry Mike: Yeah.
N D: I heard grade one first, but it went to grade two today.
KTS with Decker, Dix and Angry Mike: but Yeah. Yeah. Yeah.
angrymike: The date, the date.
N D: But I was listening.
angrymike: go ahead
N D: I was just going to say, I was listening to Paul Allen on the way home. I was listening to the game. and he kept saying he goes i'm still looking for jefferson on the sidelines i don't see him Don't think he's going to be back in today. So I don't think.
N D: Anybody really knew what was going on, he was in the blue tent forever. went in and never really came out that second half. so
KTS with Decker, Dix and Angry Mike: Yeah, he never was out second half. Sorry, Mike, but I know you were going to say something.
N D: Yeah.
KTS with Decker, Dix and Angry Mike: But he came back out after he was in the first blue tent visit, and then he just disappeared. So.
N D: Yeah. So it could be serious.
KTS with Decker, Dix and Angry Mike: Which...
angrymike: Yeah, that kind of.
N D: it Might. i Who knows? I mean. I know.
angrymike: Yeah, I think the thing with like players like Justin Jefferson, it's like you think he's hurt, and then he miraculously comes back out and plays well. i I don't see just an ankle, unless it's a high ankle sprain.
angrymike: i I could see him playing next week. But the only thing that's concerning is the fact that it was still a competitive game and he didn't come back.
KTS with Decker, Dix and Angry Mike: Yeah.
angrymike: That's that's usually a sign that, you know, it's probably less about.
N D: Yeah.
angrymike: being cautious and more about. something could be wrong. you know.
KTS with Decker, Dix and Angry Mike: Right.
N D: Yeah.
KTS with Decker, Dix and Angry Mike: Right. Yeah, and they I will have fully admit it. The Vikings played a really crappy game yesterday. and the offense looked terrible. And. I don't know why we keep giving the ball to Jones, you know, and.
N D: Because he had 100 yards against the Bears. I mean, come on.
KTS with Decker, Dix and Angry Mike: Well, I told you. He's going to come back and have another not a good game. and They got to give it to that DJ Dallas or they got to, I mean.
N D: Yeah. Baby.
KTS with Decker, Dix and Angry Mike: Don't you want to see if... One of your other guys gets hot. I mean, when he's...
N D: Yeah, and if you don't have that punt return.
KTS with Decker, Dix and Angry Mike: We lose the game
angrymike: Yep.
N D: Probably, yeah.
KTS with Decker, Dix and Angry Mike: I mean, legit, we lose the game. so
N D: I mean, you guys are both...
angrymike: Yeah, yeah.
N D: both you and the Buccaneers were in like the low 200s for total yards, which.
KTS with Decker, Dix and Angry Mike: That was just terrible.
N D: Yeah.
KTS with Decker, Dix and Angry Mike: And I don't know why they... They must have told Kyler not to run because he could have ran for several first downs. But he kept throwing the ball. I'm like, just run.
N D: Well, when you get your head taken off.
KTS with Decker, Dix and Angry Mike: Wow.
N D: and Just come off concussion.
KTS with Decker, Dix and Angry Mike: Even...
N D: You're probably told. ah I know it's late in his career, but Steve Young didn't really learn. They quit running until he was.
KTS with Decker, Dix and Angry Mike: so well
N D: Laying on the ground the last time, probably.
KTS with Decker, Dix and Angry Mike: right
N D: I don't know.
KTS with Decker, Dix and Angry Mike: But so this is how I know my wife is into football now, though, because she goes, well, why didn't he just run? Because that yellow line is. where they need to get to another downs right i'm like well all right honey
N D: Right there. Yeah.
KTS with Decker, Dix and Angry Mike: She's got her. She's getting better. She's getting better.
N D: So. i'm gonna i'm gonna drift a little bit off of the NFL just for a second with the hit um from the USC kid on. Oregon. Um...
angrymike: Oh wow, yeah.
N D: That was, I mean. And then what he was doing afterwards and he's smiling, he's doing all this stuff. And I'm just like. You know. We also had the same comment sitting there. A couple of the gals that I was sitting there watching, they're like.
N D: It's like Why do they always come in with their shoulder and try to take their heads off? I'm like, I don't think these D -backs really care. Even when there's like. some small runs. These guys are coming in with their. elbow and their shoulder right to the head and kind of giving them a shot and It's like.
N D: These guys are making money. They don't care if they hurt anybody, it looks like.
KTS with Decker, Dix and Angry Mike: Well... When they get fined, who pays the fine? I know in college you're probably not getting fined, but in the pros, who pays the fine? Is it them or is it the team?
N D: and I'm pretty sure it's them, I would think, but...
angrymike: Yeah, it's the it's the player. it's It's something in the player's agreement with the NFL that it can't be. you know but the the franchise can't pay for the fine.
KTS with Decker, Dix and Angry Mike: Yeah. Yeah. So they donated.
N D: But all the hits that happened last week, there was only really one that got fined was the Stevenson one.
angrymike: Yeah.
N D: On Jones. Other than that, I thought there was a few others that. You thought for sure NFL was going to come back and say, all right, well, we got to. A lot of flag on that one, and we're going to penalize you.
angrymike: yeah I think the only the only team that ever paid for fines was Sean Payton and the Saints, right?
KTS with Decker, Dix and Angry Mike: Yeah.
angrymike: The Bounty Gate?
N D: That could have...
angrymike: And we know what happened to them.
KTS with Decker, Dix and Angry Mike: ah
N D: You're going to bring up some. some raw memories for chad there on that one but
KTS with Decker, Dix and Angry Mike: Yeah.
angrymike: Yep.
KTS with Decker, Dix and Angry Mike: I just that's you come accustomed to stuff like that.
angrymike: his Brett Favre.
KTS with Decker, Dix and Angry Mike: So yeah, I'm not
angrymike: Yeah. Yeah, headhunting is...
KTS with Decker, Dix and Angry Mike: I'm not, I don't know.
angrymike: you know but with that exposed i don't think it happens all the time
KTS with Decker, Dix and Angry Mike: It is what it is. That was many, many, many, many, many many years ago.
angrymike: Yeah, but it but it happened.
KTS with Decker, Dix and Angry Mike: Yeah.
angrymike: And it wasn't supposed to happen. It's kind of like, you know, you can't.
N D: Yeah.
angrymike: be oblivious to the fact that there should be there could be some motivation behind some of that stuff but
KTS with Decker, Dix and Angry Mike: Right. right so Would you ever want to be a referee, like in an NFL pro game?
N D: Yeah.
angrymike: No.
KTS with Decker, Dix and Angry Mike: yeah I mean...
N D: Nope.
angrymike: Dude
N D: Nope.
angrymike: Dude, I was a referee for volleyball at the YMCA, and that used to get nasty.
N D: ah
KTS with Decker, Dix and Angry Mike: Yeah.
angrymike: I mean, seriously, I mean, that was just a rec league.
KTS with Decker, Dix and Angry Mike: Yeah.
angrymike: I... i It's tough being a ref. I mean, I know they get paid for it, but man, the the grief they get for what they do. I don't know how youth refs do it or youth umpires.
N D: Last few years, well, probably board for about five or six years now, I've been a junior high.
angrymike: It's terrible.
KTS with Decker, Dix and Angry Mike: you
N D: Slash JV football official just for. If they needed somebody, I'd go out there and... Yeah, you're standing. i i was I was on the line and standing right in front of the opposing coach in every play.
N D: is Isn't that holding? Are you going to throw your flag today or isn't that hold?
KTS with Decker, Dix and Angry Mike: yeah oh Oh God.
N D: It was like.
KTS with Decker, Dix and Angry Mike: junior high.
N D: I'm like, dude, you could call it a replay.
KTS with Decker, Dix and Angry Mike: Yeah, he can.
angrymike: Yeah.
N D: But I'm not gonna. ah So.
KTS with Decker, Dix and Angry Mike: Yeah.
N D: Yeah, it's... I don't know. I watched too much of my. When I get on X and Facebook, these TikTok stuff. pull up of all these umpire stuff and these All these arguments from grown men.
N D: Going toe to toe with a 65 year old umpire that.
KTS with Decker, Dix and Angry Mike: Yeah.
N D: really doesn't care who wins, but it's like, they're getting ready to kill the guy over a call.
KTS with Decker, Dix and Angry Mike: Right. it
N D: And it's just like, that's when you just got to hang things up as either a coach or. A spectator. It's like. I don't know. and
angrymike: Yep.
N D: I don't know.
angrymike: if dad If dad's coming saying, hey, why is my kid not playing?
N D: That's crazy.
angrymike: that's That's one you don't do anymore. And the other one is is yelling at a ref making probably $12 an hour.
N D: Yeah.
angrymike: ah not doing it for the love of it, not...
KTS with Decker, Dix and Angry Mike: rightpe
angrymike: for the pay and you got to really they're practically donating their time
N D: Yeah.
angrymike: but uh
KTS with Decker, Dix and Angry Mike: Right. right
angrymike: Yep.
KTS with Decker, Dix and Angry Mike: So as a ref, As a ref, Nolan, do you... I mean... You don't verbal back at him, do you? Mike, did you when you were doing your volleyball stuff?
N D: No.
KTS with Decker, Dix and Angry Mike: No.
angrymike: Oh. occasionally.
KTS with Decker, Dix and Angry Mike: Oop.
angrymike: Occasionally I did if it got out of line.
N D: Well. Yeah.
angrymike: i mean It's, I mean, some people can be really nasty and competitive and I get. We're all kind of competitive if you've ever been in sports, but it doesn't give you the right to treat somebody. improperly or.
angrymike: Toxic. toxic You know, they were just using toxicity. language and it was bad. So.
N D: Yeah.
KTS with Decker, Dix and Angry Mike: Yeah. Right. right
N D: There's a few times you'll like. When things get. On the other end, and you're kind of standing next to that side. It's like, hey. I'll make the calls, guys. you know. And they'll kind of look at you and they may.
angrymike: Yep.
N D: You may so hear a little bit back. But once you talk to them and then they kind of settle down, but it's like I offered actually one time there was a guy that was. It was element. And believe this or not. Elementary.
N D: basketball. There was a coach. And it was a father -son coach and... The dad got teed up. Then he got teed up again. He got ejected by ah the buddy that was reffing with me.
N D: And then the next trip up the floor. His son said something and I... i so I stopped during right there. I blew the whistle. I said, I'm warning you now. One more word and you're both gone and the game's over. I didn't hear him the rest of the game.
KTS with Decker, Dix and Angry Mike: Okay.
angrymike: yeah
N D: But it comes to a point, it's like it was fifth grade basketball. And I'm just like, are you kidding me right now?
angrymike: Yeah.
KTS with Decker, Dix and Angry Mike: well
angrymike: Yeah, no one' no one's after a a scholarship to...
N D: No.
angrymike: UCLA here you know what I mean it
N D: No.
KTS with Decker, Dix and Angry Mike: Yeah.

KTS with Decker, Dix and Angry Mike: Yes.
N D: Yeah. Sorry.
KTS with Decker, Dix and Angry Mike: No, you're good.
angrymike: Bleh. The Minnesota Vikings, I wouldn't. you know just to kind of wrap that up they've had a very fortunate early schedule. And they've won it with defense for the most part and some special teams. and To be honest with you.
angrymike: Bye. They are the Vikings. I mean, it's exactly what they did last year, too. Their ah offense was not great. and They won. I mean, you got to hand it off to KOC and Brian Flores. and
KTS with Decker, Dix and Angry Mike: Okay.
angrymike: They're 3 -0, and they are what they are. They're 3 -0. You know?
N D: and they And they'll never get rid of O 'Connell because he's...
KTS with Decker, Dix and Angry Mike: Well, we...
N D: He's continuously going. 11 and 6, or... 13 and four or whatever it is.
angrymike: Yep.
N D: and Have they produced in the playoffs? No.
KTS with Decker, Dix and Angry Mike: okay
N D: But they get their regular season wins.
KTS with Decker, Dix and Angry Mike: Hey, I just...
angrymike: No. it
KTS with Decker, Dix and Angry Mike: Are you ready for this?
angrymike: Yeah.
KTS with Decker, Dix and Angry Mike: I got some breaking news I'm looking right now.
N D: Just as long as it's not the horn.
KTS with Decker, Dix and Angry Mike: Giantsicle.
N D: That's all I got to say.
KTS with Decker, Dix and Angry Mike: Giants acquire... Quarterback McCarthy from the Vikings for 2027 pick.
angrymike: Wow.
N D: Wait, no.
angrymike: Seventh round pick.
N D: Chad Decker last week.
angrymike: ah
KTS with Decker, Dix and Angry Mike: comprising
N D: Chad.
KTS with Decker, Dix and Angry Mike: a Fifth round pick.
N D: The actor said last week that McCarthy is going anywhere.
KTS with Decker, Dix and Angry Mike: I said he wasn't going anywhere. So tell you what. I'm wrong. I didn't think they'd get rid of them. I really didn't.
angrymike: oh
KTS with Decker, Dix and Angry Mike: you You just traded your first round pick from two years ago for a freaking...
angrymike: Top.
KTS with Decker, Dix and Angry Mike: Fifth round.
angrymike: Top. 10.
KTS with Decker, Dix and Angry Mike: Top 10.
angrymike: Top 10 pick.
KTS with Decker, Dix and Angry Mike: For a fifth round... heck.
angrymike: Wow, you know There's there's two.
KTS with Decker, Dix and Angry Mike: Really?
N D: And that's it. There's nothing else to it.
KTS with Decker, Dix and Angry Mike: that That's not what I'm, I i don't see it here.
N D: Yeah, that's all I see too.
KTS with Decker, Dix and Angry Mike: yep
N D: That's all I see.
KTS with Decker, Dix and Angry Mike: Yep.
angrymike: Yep. You know, i I read a book.
KTS with Decker, Dix and Angry Mike: Amen.
angrymike: I read a book once. That's hard to believe, probably. But I i read a book once.
KTS with Decker, Dix and Angry Mike: From front to back?
angrymike: And it was run. From front to back. It it was a leadership book. And it was it was written by Ron Wolfe, the GM of the Packers back in the, you know, he. He made the far of trading, you know, the the resurgence of the Packers.
angrymike: And. One of the things he said was, You can't be scared to make decisions and you can't. Be afraid to admit you made a mistake and the quicker you can admit you made the mistake the better off you'll be
KTS with Decker, Dix and Angry Mike: Oh yeah.
angrymike: It was a bad pick. Don't get me wrong. and You know, the GM's gone who made that pick. But they moved on and realized he wasn't it. And didn't just keep them out there to kind of. you know make themselves feel better and not wasting that pick.
angrymike: they They got rid of him and got something for him. so you got to give them at least some credit that they they admit that they made a up.
KTS with Decker, Dix and Angry Mike: Yeah.
angrymike: you know, a mistake. and they moved on from it and they got something out of it so you got to at least give them that
KTS with Decker, Dix and Angry Mike: Right.
KTS with Decker, Dix and Angry Mike: So what does that say about Jackson Dart, though? that the Giants don't believe in him. I mean, he's...
angrymike: No, I...
KTS with Decker, Dix and Angry Mike: I mean, he's out for the rest of the year.
angrymike: Bye now.
KTS with Decker, Dix and Angry Mike: I mean...
angrymike: Oh, yeah, I don't think...
KTS with Decker, Dix and Angry Mike: But...
angrymike: I don't Jackson darts the future. I don't think JJ McCarthy right now could be.
N D: Yeah.
KTS with Decker, Dix and Angry Mike: No.
angrymike: projected as a starting quarterback in the NFL. I i think he needs to and needs to be behind.
KTS with Decker, Dix and Angry Mike: You're welcome.
angrymike: somebody that can develop him. And. Going from one Harbaugh to another Harbaugh, maybe he'll be successful. I don't know.
KTS with Decker, Dix and Angry Mike: That could be. Yeah, I didn't.
angrymike: you know He's going to his brother now. But...
KTS with Decker, Dix and Angry Mike: Yeah.
angrymike: ah
KTS with Decker, Dix and Angry Mike: That's crazy.
angrymike: Yeah, you know but maybe if he went to ah Green Bay where they have success with developing quarterbacks. or uh go to the Niners, maybe he'd have a better shot. I don't know what they have as far as developing quarterbacks with the Giants. but They don't have a very good track record, but...
angrymike: Make him a backup, let him learn, let him sit for a few years, and they may be able to turn that around and and get a higher pick for him. you know, in a couple years.
N D: Won't. Yeah.
KTS with Decker, Dix and Angry Mike: maybe
N D: McCarthy has, they do have some weapons over there. I mean,
angrymike: Yeah.
N D: you You look at Scatabow, you've got Malik Neighbors over there, you've got Mooney.
KTS with Decker, Dix and Angry Mike: Yep.
N D: You got a couple of nice, to you got Odell Beckham Jr.
angrymike: yep
N D: That's still. Still trying to. He had one target with no catches, but... Um,
angrymike: Yeah, I
N D: I don't know. That could be a good fit for McCarthy.
angrymike: it could It could be, but the thing is, it's not like... He went from the Browns to the Giants. i mean if the the Vikings have anything.
N D: Right.
angrymike: It's Jordan Addison and and Justin Jefferson. you' and You're going to be hard -pressed to find a better two weapons than that.
KTS with Decker, Dix and Angry Mike: Right, right, right
angrymike: I mean, the running game may be better to help him out, but I... It's not a terrible situation. I get where you're getting at.
KTS with Decker, Dix and Angry Mike: No.
angrymike: is He's not going to the Miami Dolphins here.
KTS with Decker, Dix and Angry Mike: no
angrymike: you know he but he He had pretty good weapons last year and couldn't do anything with them, but a fresh start is sometimes what people need.
KTS with Decker, Dix and Angry Mike: Well, and i I always thought he'd be a good Taysom Hill type player. No one always laughed at me at that, but I think the guy could go out and...
angrymike: oh
KTS with Decker, Dix and Angry Mike: Catch a pass. and You know, you throw them.
angrymike: Yeah.
KTS with Decker, Dix and Angry Mike: I don't know. Good for him.
angrymike: Tastem Hill. One of my Packers' worst regrets. They had him on the practice squad and thought they could sneak him through.
KTS with Decker, Dix and Angry Mike: Yeah.
angrymike: and They cut him and... Couldn't couldn't resign him and. He went off to the Saints and... made a career. But, uh...
KTS with Decker, Dix and Angry Mike: Made a career at the Saints, yeah. so
angrymike: Yep. Yeah.
KTS with Decker, Dix and Angry Mike: Well, there you go. So all there there's our Viking talk today. Big news, big news, big news.
N D: Breaking news, yeah.
KTS with Decker, Dix and Angry Mike: We wanted to talk about the Packers.
angrymike: Yep.
KTS with Decker, Dix and Angry Mike: We tried to do one last Thursday, but audio trouble got in the way, and then so did the weekend. So. You know, Mike, you said, go ahead, let me have it. I'm not going to let you have it. I mean, you were giving yourself the grief.
KTS with Decker, Dix and Angry Mike: So what happened to the Packers?
angrymike: ah
KTS with Decker, Dix and Angry Mike: What happened to the Packers against the Falcons?
angrymike: Oh. Man. you know it yeah you You first got to start at the offensive line, and I know I've complained about that, and I complained about it preseason. and It is just catastrophically the worst offensive line in the history of football. i mean it Pass. Pass block win rate of 16%.
angrymike: And. a lot of people are like oh that's advanced stats i don't know what you're talking about The worst team in the NFL last year, and I and i heard this off Peter Bukowski's podcast this morning.
angrymike: Locked on Packers. The worst team in the NFL last year with pass block win rate was the Chargers. You guys know what percentage that was last year? Green Bay's at 16%.
KTS with Decker, Dix and Angry Mike: I'd say probably. 42 percent.
KTS with Decker, Dix and Angry Mike: Nolan.
N D: Sorry. I'm back.
KTS with Decker, Dix and Angry Mike: Oh, you...
angrymike: All right, I got it.
KTS with Decker, Dix and Angry Mike: that Okay.
angrymike: I got it.
N D: My bad, my bad
angrymike: so so so So last year, the the pass block win rate. of the worst team. was the Chargers at 52%.
KTS with Decker, Dix and Angry Mike: I was okay.
angrymike: So the worst 52%. Hackers are currently at 16%. It is terrible. And Jordan loves getting the ball out in like 2 .26 seconds. from snap to throw.
angrymike: Green Bay just does not pass blocking for him. The bad part is with this. They're... they're run block win rate is like right in the middle, but the running backs are so bad.
angrymike: At hitting a hole, they're dancing around where they're getting nothing out of it.
KTS with Decker, Dix and Angry Mike: Yep.
angrymike: So it's like taking it. It's almost like Matt Lafleur. The play caller is getting screwed by Matt Lafleur. the developer. player developer. It's like they're he's screwing himself. They're good plays. but not being executed. And the Atlanta game was just.
angrymike: Embarrassing. from from start to finish. It was just an embarrassment. Bijan just had them. and Green Bay just folded like a damn chair. Just just embarrassing.
KTS with Decker, Dix and Angry Mike: It's a... Nolan and I were talking. was Did we talk that night, Nolan? They would... cue to the fans and also need to see one of the fans like what the blank is going and they would quickly get off the fans and it uh
N D: Yeah.
angrymike: Oh yeah. Yep.
KTS with Decker, Dix and Angry Mike: I don't know.
N D: Well. and And with that. mike i guess you can kind of i mean chad kind of knows how i feel about it we've talked about it Um, to Obviously, Kraft talked about it in his postgame.
angrymike: mm -hmm
N D: about the booing going that, you know, that's not going to make me win. You know, I've been to numerous games in person and. You hear the boos. I heard Randy Moss get booed. in a preseason game versus the giants and i'm just like what do you guys doing and
angrymike: Yep. Yep.
N D: as far as I've been to games where the bears have just looked horrible, I've, Hey, I got to see him, but I'm like, Not once did I... I boo Brian Urlacher coming off the field. So I'm just wondering, I mean, i and I know it's not just. 10 people booing and and we're going to be good with it. but When you've got a whole stadium.
N D: continuing to boo obviously They were saying while they were booing LeFleur and his play calling and all this stuff. And I'm like. I don't know if it was just that. i think Kraft dropped a ah ball. He got booed.
N D: Um... Packer fans aren't used to that. and I... You probably won't hear any more booing in Lambeau Field. Probably. I don't know. But. I don't know.
angrymike: If if.
N D: i I hate the booing part. But. I get it. But...
angrymike: If you're an NFL player. And you're telling fans not to boo. When you are a four and a half point favorite and you get routed at home.
KTS with Decker, Dix and Angry Mike: yeah
angrymike: by the worst team statistically.
N D: Yeah.
angrymike: In the NFL prior to that game, you could talk about Cooper Rush, Michael Penix. Michael Penix ain't Steve Young. I'm sorry, he's not Michael Vick.
KTS with Decker, Dix and Angry Mike: Right.
angrymike: He's Michael Panics. And we, Green Bay made, I'm not a we guy, Green Bay made. Him look good And it was all because of Bijan. They just could not.
angrymike: They could not get him to the ground. And and really, with a time of possession of plus 15 for Atlanta.
KTS with Decker, Dix and Angry Mike: Yeah.
angrymike: It was a 10 -7 game with Green Bay charging, and, you know, that could have been of a much different game. if They could have scored there after the after the the half. but The defense just gets worn down. You guys know how that works. You you run nine times for 17 yards. Play action doesn't work.
angrymike: um The defense gets right back on the field really quick, and i I think a lot of it just looked worse because they were worn down. but um Yeah, it was it all around pathetic.
KTS with Decker, Dix and Angry Mike: Towards the end there.
angrymike: Yeah.
KTS with Decker, Dix and Angry Mike: Yeah, you could tell towards the end. So now, Noah, let's talk this Boeing. So say it's... It's the Bears, okay? And we're, it's third and 13. And they're down by four, and they run a and they run a draw play to Swift, and he gains like four yards on third.
KTS with Decker, Dix and Angry Mike: And you need the 14. Do you boo him?
N D: I... I've seen that happen, and if I'm in person, I don't boo. No.
KTS with Decker, Dix and Angry Mike: You don't boo.
N D: I don't. I don't boo, no.
KTS with Decker, Dix and Angry Mike: Okay.
N D: I mean... Yeah, I mean, you've... weren't some things under your breath or you're like god are you kidding me guys But I mean, at no point do you just sit there and... Boo, boo, boo. And when they're, I mean. You've seen the... the jeering When guys are. 15 feet away. You suck. It's like.
KTS with Decker, Dix and Angry Mike: Well, whatever.
N D: Okay.
KTS with Decker, Dix and Angry Mike: Wow.
N D: I'm making more money than you. You shut up.
KTS with Decker, Dix and Angry Mike: Right, right.
N D: But.
KTS with Decker, Dix and Angry Mike: But we pay that hard -earned money that we make to go to those games.
N D: i get it i get it
angrymike: Yep.
KTS with Decker, Dix and Angry Mike: Do you boo the referee?
N D: I just I just.
angrymike: And also...
KTS with Decker, Dix and Angry Mike: Do you boo the referee? ah you is that all Is that okay?
N D: Probably, yeah.
angrymike: Of course.
N D: i
angrymike: Yeah.
KTS with Decker, Dix and Angry Mike: you can but
N D: i've been booed yeah what the hell no i don't think i've ever been booed but
angrymike: oh yeah
KTS with Decker, Dix and Angry Mike: Okay.
angrymike: Oh we yeah.
KTS with Decker, Dix and Angry Mike: All right.
N D: I just think don't, as far as booing your home. team in your home stadium. Or even when you're on the road, I I've never. Booed them when I was in Minnesota and they were getting their asses handed to them.
N D: Now we go explicit.
angrymike: Yeah, but
N D: sometimes so
angrymike: We... but what we have to keep what we have to keep the thoughts though is Green Bay. Cut. embarrassed by the Vikings.
N D: Yep.
angrymike: They barely beat the Jets, which may turn out to be a... Pretty decent win because the Lions had. everything they can handle with the Jets at home.
KTS with Decker, Dix and Angry Mike: Mm -hmm.
angrymike: And then Green Bay. Trot it out. Donovan Jennings and Jacob Monk again. When we had two previous games of them sucking. Nothing changed. and They got destroyed.
angrymike: So I think booing is just the fans saying this isn't good enough. I mean, Green Bay.
N D: Yeah.
angrymike: was they I think they were the seventh had the seventh best odds. Of. making the Super Bowl this year. And it. For them to look this...
angrymike: Bad. I think booing's okay. And you know what, Tucker Craft? You just got a huge extension. Don't tell us how to fan.
N D: yep
angrymike: We know how to do it. We're good. The best thing he could have said was I would have booed us too. Because you know what? He dropped four passes and looked like utter crap. And that team needs a shakeup, which...
angrymike: Green Bay, you know. They signed three fre veteran guards here in the last week. they got uh conrad volson from The Bengals, trust me, these guys aren't. All pro guys. They end up getting Lake and Tomlinson, who's...
angrymike: you know, a 10 year vet. And they just signed Mekhi Becton. an hour ago. And he was really good guard for the Eagles. So. Green Bay. Going from Donovan Jennings.
angrymike: and Jacob Monk. the two worst guards i've ever seen in my life and i'm old i've seen a lot of games
N D: ah
angrymike: Just simply getting. Average to below average. veteran guards in there. will make that offensive line. Maybe. Just simply bad. instead of historically bad.
angrymike: And that may be enough for Jordan Love to get this thing back on track. So. I don't think they're going to be Larry Allen. I don't think. You know, they're gonna be Marshall Yanda.
KTS with Decker, Dix and Angry Mike: Yeah.
angrymike: But I think they're going to be serviceable enough to know who to block. And. Simply. We couldn't even do that last week.
KTS with Decker, Dix and Angry Mike: So at one and two. Are you worried? Are you worried at one and two?
angrymike: Of course.
KTS with Decker, Dix and Angry Mike: with these With these new guys coming in.
angrymike: i Yeah. Losing the way they lost to the Atlanta Falcons. Green Bay can lose to anybody. And that's even with You know, i I made this joke earlier.
angrymike: I still think it's funny, by the way. Baker Mayfield couldn't give a thumbs up on the way out because his thumb was dislocated thumb down.
KTS with Decker, Dix and Angry Mike: say Yeah.
N D: yeah
KTS with Decker, Dix and Angry Mike: Right.
N D: Yep.
angrymike: But. Green Bay is playing. in Tampa next week against an undrafted free agent quarterback that's never played a down in the NFL yet. So looking at that.
angrymike: ah offense versus offense, it'll probably end up defense versus defense. And I like Jordan Love there. I think they're going to win next week. But. It's just because of that. And if they lose to the Bears. In Green Bay, which a game I will be at, unfortunately.
N D: Heh. We can go live there at half time.
angrymike: If Bajent beats them... Yeah, if Bajent beats the Packers. in Green Bay, and it's embarrassing? I wouldn't be surprised if Matt LaFleur gets fired. After that game.
angrymike: It'll be so embarrassing.
N D: Yeah.
angrymike: that it'll be done.
KTS with Decker, Dix and Angry Mike: that was That was my next question. I'm like, okay, so does he – so say they lose this week and then they lose against the Bears. Do you think they – Do you think Goody says, dude, you're done?
KTS with Decker, Dix and Angry Mike: Or do you think he's like, oh.
angrymike: Well.
KTS with Decker, Dix and Angry Mike: Oh boy.
angrymike: The problem is Green Bay is so dumb sometimes as a franchise. The GM reports directly. to policy. Ed Policy. but so does the head coach.
KTS with Decker, Dix and Angry Mike: Oh, that's right.
angrymike: So. Goody does not have the ability to fire.
KTS with Decker, Dix and Angry Mike: that's right
angrymike: Matt LaFleur. in a vacuum He has to do it. through ed policy. And I'm not sure policy. is going to do it because he gave those two idiots extensions in the offseason, which I was supportive. I was like, you know what?
angrymike: It's probably better to just. Keep things the same. We had injuries last year. But now we're starting to figure out it wasn't injuries. you know
KTS with Decker, Dix and Angry Mike: Correct.
angrymike: Packer fans were coping. I was coping. I thought, you know, if we would have had Micah Parsons and and Zach Tom and Tucker. um We suck. We suck.
angrymike: And I think some of those really outstanding players covered up. just how fundamentally flawed this roster is. But... With three guards coming in that are vets. that know who to block. That's 90 % of it, guys.
angrymike: Green Bay. Had a field goal blocked when Atlanta had 10 guys on the field. How does that happen?
KTS with Decker, Dix and Angry Mike: ah
angrymike: And the guy didn't even get blocked.
KTS with Decker, Dix and Angry Mike: I know.
angrymike: It's like they're they're splitting the Red Sea for guys just to walk through and hit love in the head.
KTS with Decker, Dix and Angry Mike: it
angrymike: But. I think. It'll be really interesting to see how they do with Tampa. I thought Green Bay. Atlanta would have been a get right game, but it was a get wrong game and made things 100 % worse.
angrymike: So I'm interested to see how that works.
KTS with Decker, Dix and Angry Mike: how we going
N D: Well, and that's going to be a game.
angrymike: but
N D: Two, toward the end of the season, I mean, we've we've already talked how... NFC North is going to be. Leader is going to be. probably a one or two game lead. That game there, or when we've had those ties before.
angrymike: Mm -hmm.
angrymike: Yep.
N D: A tie and a loss like that. could cost you a playoff spot.
KTS with Decker, Dix and Angry Mike: Right.
angrymike: 100%. Yep.
N D: Yep. And you mentioned...
angrymike: common opponents Common opponents, right?
N D: Yep, and you mentioned the... You know, Chad asked to you, are are you in panic mode now? well You're in a little bit different situation than the Rams. Rams go to one and two. Not going to hit the panic button.
N D: um They had a tough game. Seattle. Do they hit the panic button? Button losing. ah You know, and they go to two and one. I mean that. That NFC West, those three teams right there, Arizona actually played pretty decent.
angrymike: Yep.
N D: Also out of, I mean. I... There are some teams in here that you look that are going to be one and two after this weekend that. Yeah, some are going to hit the panic button. You know, you look at the NFC East.
N D: That's just going to be a... Dallas drops to one and two giants go to two and one. What's Philadelphia do tonight?
angrymike: Yep. Yep.
KTS with Decker, Dix and Angry Mike: Well, let's let's talk about that, Nolan.
N D: Yep. you know.
KTS with Decker, Dix and Angry Mike: let's your your bears go your Say your Bears lose tonight. i don't are Are you worried?
N D: I'm worried about the game, yes. Just the fact of... um Yeah, I know we can run the football, but they got a pretty good. run defense but they really got a good pass defense so i'm not seeing Bajent coming out and throwing for 350 yards. I'm not seeing that tonight. but Um, If we could get the run game going.
N D: I think we're going to be fine. But our defense, I mean. Will we be able to shut down Hertz and Barkley? I don't know
KTS with Decker, Dix and Angry Mike: at the So then. you know, being one and two in the division, is that, does that mean you're done?
N D: No.
KTS with Decker, Dix and Angry Mike: No.
N D: now i don't ah No, I don't think so, because... de detroit We picked Detroit to win the division. They haven't looked the best, but they're sitting at 2 -1.
KTS with Decker, Dix and Angry Mike: Yep.
N D: Minnesota. They got a stretch run coming up that. Things are going to even out.
KTS with Decker, Dix and Angry Mike: After they buy.
N D: we've all
KTS with Decker, Dix and Angry Mike: They've got probably the toughest schedule out there, I think.
N D: Yeah.
KTS with Decker, Dix and Angry Mike: i mean It's crazy.
N D: Yeah. Because you get in the division games, you get into Buffalo, San Francisco, teams like that.
KTS with Decker, Dix and Angry Mike: Yep.
N D: And yeah, you sneak a win out of one of those two. Now you're talking possibly a division. But. You still got to play Detroit twice. You got to play the Bears one more time. You got to play Green Bay one more time.
N D: Um, It's a tough road for Minnesota. Yeah. like Like you said before, or as we got on, you know. Take every win. I mean. Hell, I'd love to be sitting at 3 -0 right now.
KTS with Decker, Dix and Angry Mike: Yeah.
angrymike: Yeah, it's a lot it's it's a lot easier.
N D: But.
angrymike: facing those games being 3 -0 than it does being 1 -2.
KTS with Decker, Dix and Angry Mike: Right.
N D: Oh yeah.
angrymike: Right.
N D: Yep.
angrymike: Because they're not must -wins. you know it's kind of like the vikings a couple years ago When, you know... What were they, 14 -3? I mean, they had they had a great year.
angrymike: Um,
N D: Yeah.
angrymike: And they're just stacking wins. I mean, and and I think that's what they're doing now. They're just they're just a ah good, solidly coached team that's taking an advantage of other teams that aren't.
KTS with Decker, Dix and Angry Mike: or
angrymike: fundamentally sound.
KTS with Decker, Dix and Angry Mike: That are having having rough starts. Having rough starts is what I would call it.
N D: Yeah.
angrymike: Yep.
N D: I hope our defense plays like we did last week.
angrymike: Yep.
N D: I know Minnesota wasn't the best offense out there, but. Um, ah If our defense is even. remotely better than it has been. We've got a shot. But. Being in Soldier Field 2, that's also...
N D: You know, we we played a tight. tough shootout with them last year. So. It could end up being a shootout. But.
angrymike: You never know. You never know with Ben Johnson. Like, it's like, you think he's going to lean in to Menon guy and.
N D: No.
angrymike: ah Swift tonight. He may come out throwing.
KTS with Decker, Dix and Angry Mike: That's...
N D: Yeah.
angrymike: You know, because because the Eagles are going to be probably stacking the box early. And use those tight ends to get behind the linebackers. You know what I mean? I could i could see. Loveland and Comet just going off tonight.
angrymike: you know And whenever you have inexperienced quarterbacks, they tend to throw to the running backs and they tend to throw the tight ends. so i
N D: Yep.
angrymike: I think Comet and Loveland, I think Loveland gets back on track tonight. But I wouldn't surprise me if... If Ben Johnson surprises everybody and comes out throwing. If not, I think it's going to be a very low scoring game because it's going to be very.
N D: What?
angrymike: you know, predictable ah
N D: Yeah. Well, I don't know if it's supposed to rain or not, but...
angrymike: running and running.
N D: We saw what Bajent did. at the end of the Viking game. I mean, Within four plays, I'm like. Wow, our offense. I mean, it rather than taking five -yard chunks with our running backs.
N D: All of a sudden, we're hitting Burden. We're hitting Odunze.
angrymike: Yep.
N D: And it's kind of like, finally, we're But it took... bringing in Bajent. Either Caleb's not. seeing these guys or. Bajan is just saying, you know what? I'm looking for Roman and burden because they're the two best guys out here and we got to get down the field quick.
angrymike: Yep.
KTS with Decker, Dix and Angry Mike: Well, I think it was more of that whole kind of the, we're not going to.
angrymike: And Kayla.
KTS with Decker, Dix and Angry Mike: Put a whole lot of pressure on Baygent. So don't, it wasn't like he was.
angrymike: Yeah.
KTS with Decker, Dix and Angry Mike: don't ah you know that prevent deep they weren't given the way the deep ones is what they were doing Bye.
N D: Right.
KTS with Decker, Dix and Angry Mike: I understand where you're coming from, Nolan. And he was... he was Sharp, quick passes, but I think the Vikings were giving them that because you had to score a touchdown, and then once they got down there, that's when the pressure came.
N D: Yeah, but I now I yeah Okay.
KTS with Decker, Dix and Angry Mike: yeah You just...
angrymike: But I mean...
KTS with Decker, Dix and Angry Mike: Those beard -colored glasses, man, they hurt.
angrymike: Yeah.
N D: I could. No, i I could get into an argument, but...
KTS with Decker, Dix and Angry Mike: I know. yeah I know you could.
N D: it
KTS with Decker, Dix and Angry Mike: I know you want to.
N D: The Vikings did not go into prevent.
KTS with Decker, Dix and Angry Mike: but
N D: They were still playing defense. But. I get they weren't giving up the big ones, but. When you bring in a... a backup quarterback. I wouldn't think you just let them.
N D: dink and duck all the way down the field.
KTS with Decker, Dix and Angry Mike: i I would put the Vikings defense against anybody on a goal line stand.
angrymike: Yep.
KTS with Decker, Dix and Angry Mike: I really would. I just think they're that good. Bye.
angrymike: I think the only the only difference between, well, there's a big difference between Caleb and Bajent, but... caleb probably has a little more He can be a little more liberal with. chasing the big play.
KTS with Decker, Dix and Angry Mike: Yeah.
angrymike: um I think Bajan's more... Take three steps, get it out. and hit your first read, hit your second read.
N D: Yep.
angrymike: I think that's probably the difference between those two. But that also means Bajent's more predictable, you know. um Then Caleb, but could they be serviceable with them? I said that a couple of weeks ago, right guys?
angrymike: I i think they.
KTS with Decker, Dix and Angry Mike: oh yeah
angrymike: the bears could be a top 10 offense with. Beijing. um as long as he doesn't get a concussion. But, you know, he if they can protect him, I think they can still win with him. And the Eagles are are flawed, just like all NFL teams are.
KTS with Decker, Dix and Angry Mike: oh Yeah. yeah
angrymike: um And i i think the bears I think the Bears are going to win tonight. If you guys want to go to predictions for tonight, I think i think the Bears win 16 -14. I think it's something weird. and something Under 20.
KTS with Decker, Dix and Angry Mike: i I think... I think the Bears got a shot, but I think it's going to end up in heartbreak. So I'd say like a 2019. eagles
N D: ah You know, unfortunately, Chad, I probably agree with you. It's going to end up in a heartbreak because it seemed like.
KTS with Decker, Dix and Angry Mike: i don' And I don't mean it bad, Nolan.
N D: Eric.
KTS with Decker, Dix and Angry Mike: I don't mean it bad.
N D: No, every every time we get on to...
KTS with Decker, Dix and Angry Mike: you know
N D: You know, under the lights. I mean, it's just like. Man, we play hard, play hard, play hard. And then at the very end, something happens. You're just like, God, are you kidding me? You know, you you keep it competitive.
N D: thinking all right, we're still a good football team. But then.
angrymike: Yep.
N D: You can't seal the deal. Hertz hits a big one to Devante Smith or... Barkley. Hits a big run. Um, It's going to be something like that, or it's going to be. Kind of like the Minnesota game. We're going to go down on the last drive and we're going to stall out. We're going to throw an interception or.
N D: we're going to look like, well, I guess the Rams threw an interception last night, but Rams had a shot at the end there. And. Yeah. Stafford just threw an ill -advised pass at that point. but I don't know. yeah I don't.
N D: i want to say i see the the bears winning tonight, but. A loss isn't going to end their season.
angrymike: so
N D: so
angrymike: Much, much different than if Green Bay loses because they're. they're fundamentally poor. you know what i mean ah there's there's something that no one's going to come back
N D: Yep.
angrymike: and make that team better. Granted, they just signed those three veteran guards. I think that's going to help tremendously. But it's different than going from Bajent back to Caleb because you know Caleb's coming back.
N D: Yeah.
KTS with Decker, Dix and Angry Mike: right
angrymike: So. that it gives you hope green bay right now has zero hope unless they can go to tampa and somehow look like a decent team against the worst team probably in the NFL.
angrymike: And then beat the Bears or... stay competitive with the Bears, which... Bajan's the quarterback and all I'm hoping for competitive. I think you can see where i'm I'm kind of at with that. Packers team right now.
N D: Yeah. Huh.
angrymike: but
KTS with Decker, Dix and Angry Mike: You you' you've pretty much stuck a fork in him without saying it, I think, Mike, but you don't know why.
angrymike: Well, not yet. and Not yet.
KTS with Decker, Dix and Angry Mike: Okay.
angrymike: i'm i'm for I'm forever an optimist.
KTS with Decker, Dix and Angry Mike: Alright.
angrymike: i If they can give a sliver of hope, I mean... I posted on X last week. Somebody was saying, you know. Jeremiah Smith would be a number one on 15 of the teams. And I go, well, I can probably say it's not Green Bay right now because Christian Watson is just on fire. And so is Matthew Golden, who finally caught a regular season touchdown, by the way. I don't have to hear about that anymore.
angrymike: But both those guys are on pace for over. you know I think Golden's 1 ,400 yards and six touchdowns. I think Watson's 1 ,600 and 23 touchdowns. He's he's. playing well. And if you can give Love just even a little bit more time, I think he could really take advantage of that. But also, I understand.
angrymike: it was pretty sloppy catch -up time with some of those yards and touchdowns too but
N D: Well... Yeah.
angrymike: there's some optimism there on that offense. If they can get. at least even a little protection.
N D: I was going to mention the. Ketchup yards at the end. um You look at Watson. He was kind of. He really wasn't, um other than the four -yard touchdown. He didn't see nothing until late in the game.
N D: Golden caught a few passes here and there until he got.
angrymike: Yep. Yep.
N D: you know, the first pass that he caught was a. you know, a fadeaway. Love just kind of threw it up there in goal and kind of.
angrymike: Yep.
N D: Turned around, turned this way, caught it. and That'll hit.
angrymike: That's all they could do, man. they could he had to be on a He had to be on both his back leg, both of his heels, because he was getting hit.
N D: Yeah, I know. And it's...
N D: I mean, Viking fans are lucky that. Addison caught that touchdown or they would have been under 200 total yards.
angrymike: Yep.
N D: For the game.
angrymike: Yep.
KTS with Decker, Dix and Angry Mike: That's for sure.
angrymike: Alright, guys.
KTS with Decker, Dix and Angry Mike: Yeah, well, just remember this.
N D: Not a good offense.
angrymike: Let's go.
KTS with Decker, Dix and Angry Mike: Just think of this. If you guys were in the NFC South... You'd be tied for first.
N D: Yeah, well. But yet we're chasing the worst 3 -0 team in the NFL.
KTS with Decker, Dix and Angry Mike: There you go.
N D: ah
KTS with Decker, Dix and Angry Mike: Talk to you later, fellas.
N D: See you guys.
angrymike: Yep. Thanks guys. I'll stay on to try to get my. Mine. stuff downloaded.
