00:02:00
Speaker
but hear you can you not hear well i hear you okay i can hear you from Okay. All right, cool. um So let's go ahead and just kick this bad boy off, shall we? First game yesterday was a humdinger. And I know, hot take, Jake, you were so happy for this victory. But boy, oh boy, did it come at a cost.
Bo Nix and Denver Broncos Discussion
00:02:24
Speaker
cost. Yes, we talk about Bo Nix and how inconsistent he is. And yes, the defense is what kept him in that game yesterday. But let's make no mistake about it. No Denver Broncos.
00:02:40
Speaker
fan is interested in having Jarrett Stidass as their quarterback in the AFC Championship. um And as I told Hot Take Jake, and when I texted him afterwards, I said, I'm sorry for your loss, ah but I wish Buffalo would have won so we don't got to watch sorry ass Jarrett Stidham march out there and try to take your team to the next level. Clubber D, what did you think about this awesome, this was an awesome, awesome game. oh the day The game was phenomenal. The game was great. I would say they better call ah Brock Osweiler, um um you know ah Brian Greasy, somebody to to help them out because they're just going to get there get mollywhopped in the next round. But ah it sucks to see Bo Nix go down. He played great, um better than my expectations, and poor Josh Allen.
00:03:31
Speaker
It hurts to see him at the podium. you know crying a little bit. And obviously when you lose a big game like that, um you know that's really going to affect you. And especially when you look at his record, Peach, let's talk about it.
00:03:48
Speaker
in his career in the playoffs. ah You know, three losses in the playoffs,
Super Bowl Contenders: Patriots vs. Others?
00:03:53
Speaker
0-7 in overtime. um the Now its road teams have failed to improve to one in eighty five playoff record when finishing minus three or more on the turnover ratio, and that was an issue. We talked about it, and they turned the ball over. What did you think?
00:04:10
Speaker
I think, i like I've been saying for weeks, it's time to boot that staff, man. They need to start all over. You're wasting Josh Allen. Another playoff loss. heartbreaking as far as the Broncos go. I think this is the first NFL playoff game in history where both teams got eliminated at the same time, gentlemen.
00:04:27
Speaker
Because, and we're going to be talking about in a little bit, the New England Patriots are going to the Super Bowl again, guys. I'm sorry to say it. Brady was gone for a few years. They get made, MVP-looking kind of quarterback, and they're back in the Super Bowl. You're completely right, yeah. I mean, how much of a chance do they actually get?
00:04:49
Speaker
i think I think it's at least 95% that the Patriots are going to win, and that's probably a low. Yeah, I mean – You know?
00:05:00
Speaker
Yeah. I saw some memes out there of Phillip Rivers in a Denver Broncos jersey, which made me crack up a little bit there. Dirty Mojo. What did you think this was going be?
00:05:14
Speaker
Yeah, I mean, this game was ah it was all about the turnovers, man, especially the ones right before right before halftime and right after halftime. That was this that was just the the the nail in the coffin for them, if you think about it. That's 10 points off of two turnovers.
Denver Broncos' Game Analysis
00:05:27
Speaker
all with I think they said that the Denver Broncos had scored 10 points within one minute of actual playtime.
00:05:33
Speaker
that's that's That's crazy, man. You can't have those types and and think that you're going to win. And then to finish the game with five turnovers to lose by three in overtime, that's a heartbreaking right there, right, man? Guys, ah the fumble from James Cook in the beginning, then you got the two turnovers, you got the two interceptions in there.
00:05:47
Speaker
Man, that's ah that's a tough way to to to lose a game. And then for the Denver Broncos, you guys are absolutely right, man. You're in field goal. I wonder when he broke his ankle. What what what specific play did he break in play? I think the last play.
00:06:01
Speaker
i to laugh god and You know what sucks? It sucks to do it on that type of play right before the AFC championship game. You lose your starting quarterback with, would you say is the, ah yeah i was I was waiting for the Dion who, when you said who was going to be the starting quarterback for them, but you guys. Scott from Kmart. from It's crazy, man. It's it's like we were talking about our thing. it look like that That team is so good. You might want to call somebody to come off the bench and and and and and play for you. But ah the way, like,
Seattle's Defensive and Offensive Strategies
00:06:33
Speaker
you're right, Peach. The way that the um the Patriots handle the Jaguars on that defense, put up 28 points, man, it's going to be tough, tough, tough without having your true starting quarterback to play against those guys next week.
00:06:46
Speaker
And another thing that I just thought about is it was actually three eliminations in one in one game because Mr. Lamar got eliminated from his Super Bowl pick that he shouldn't earlier. And that's why he should have earlier because it's already over with for you, buddy. That's okay. That's okay. yeah that's okay you We're not ready to pick a new team. We're not ready to pick a new team. I'm still going to do it.
00:07:08
Speaker
but and let's shout out Let's get to some comments here. Who we got, Cubber D? Heavy on the poppy, light on the yayo, none other than poppy tune yayo.
00:07:22
Speaker
I want to give you better intro, but we're going to strap on time.
00:07:26
Speaker
The Broncos defense old, no doubt about that. And defense does win championships. Very true. But when they're going to be going up against a Patriots team who has a great defense as well, which we'll talk about in just a second, that's going to be a little harder for them, especially when Drake may is playing so well. So we appreciate tuning in boxing chance.
00:07:46
Speaker
Big group. Let us know if you want to get in it. All right, shout out as well to Herbert Manuel for tuning in. We appreciate it. No Spanish for you, but gracias por tu vida. And then following Townsend, shout out. We just talked a little football, getting to you to the next game. A bunch of field goals. Hey, you know, we'll see what happens. They may have to do that in the next game. Let's move it on to our next one. We had Clubber D.
00:08:12
Speaker
You're going to be the last one of us to have to eat their crow for the season. And what a, you say, good crow belt to ass, well-seasoned, ass-whooping casserole did your team take? What did you think?
00:08:26
Speaker
Oh, man. Yeah, they ah finally caught up with them. You know, ah they got beat pillar to post. um I would say that Mike McDonald has owned Kyle Shanahan. The last once they four matchups, they've they've gone against each other. When you're doing a trick play on an option from you check to McCaffrey on fourth and one, that just tells you that you've given up. When you're trying all this, you're doing a triple a triple ah reverse for one yard gain. Why are you going in and trip back? That means you're not being creative. And I feel like Robert Sala, I love Robert Sala.
00:08:57
Speaker
He interviewed for two coaching ah vacancies and he has two more ah this week. He didn't really make too many adjustments for um Sam Darnold. So, you know I thought they kind of gave up in the third because I'm going forward on fourth fourth downs. Not much they can do. you know they're They're starting their backups. not as huge as football. They all get paid to do what they got do. But when you're starting players that weren't on a roster until about a month ago and some two weeks ago, it it is what it is. Seattle's ah defense are not listed too much. is winning at the point of attack. They're looking lights out and doing enough so Sam Darnold cannot lose them in the game. So that is probably a Super Bowl pick right there.
00:09:32
Speaker
yeah Yeah, I mean, it definitely is looking like a Super Bowl pick. they Obviously, they're going to have to probably contend with Well, we'll get to that in a just second. i don't want to I don't want to give that all away for people that didn't watch yesterday. Peach, what did you think? know they didn't watch they tar I think that Seattle defense is humming. And I said this in our group chat.
00:09:52
Speaker
They're going to prevent Sam Darnold from turning into a pumpkin. The de defense is. It's not going let him. They are not going to let him turn him into a pumpkin, guys. They're going score more than the offense that they need be to win games.
00:10:02
Speaker
Mike McDonald looks like the off the defensive version of Sean McVay. He looks like a mastermind on defense. And i don't know, like Dion said, I don't know if any anybody can beat them. They might be headed headed to us the Super Bowl after next week.
00:10:17
Speaker
Damn. Dirty Mojo. Yeah, on piece you and you hit it right, man. they they They are protecting him from turning into pumpkin. But guess what? Even if he does turn into a pumpkin, the star of that movie was Cinderella. That was the mice, right? The coach and everybody, even though they turn back into what they turned into, they still were the star of the show. So he could turn back into a pumpkin and those guys are going to carry him home. But I want to talk to you guys about the first day on play.
00:10:41
Speaker
That was the game. That play right there is what broke the 49ers right there. That kickoff at the beginning of the game, that just ended it right there. Your your team is completely hurt. And now this guy takes it a hundred and something yards for the, I mean, that one right there, you can see that the, that all the air came out of the, ah the 49ers thought process, man. I think I've seen a guy posted a video about it. It was funny. The guy that wears the big hat, you probably know who he is. Yeah. You probably follow him see him on, on. Yeah. It was funny to tell you, you showed the video of it. I would turn him. It was all quiet, but ah yeah, man, you know, I, I,
00:11:10
Speaker
You know, Dion knows this about me with the 49ers. don't hate on the 49ers. I'm more upset with Kyle Shanahan for what he did. And that's between me and what Dion does. But man, for that team to do what they did with all the injuries, man, hats off to that team and look out for them. If they can stay healthy next year, that's a scary 49ers team so to be right back to where they're at next year.
00:11:29
Speaker
they had a stat about uh teams who have less travel travel more have less time prepare and ah obviously they were the ones this week that uh uh got to short ah the uh uh drew to the short straw i guess having only lincoln like five days something like that to yeah they were impressive and you and you made that comment you made a comment too You made a comment too, Deanna, about how you and somebody was going to go to the 49ers game next year against Washington and Peach, right?
00:11:55
Speaker
Yeah, just make sure your shoulder's totally healed, man, because don't want you to go there and catch those, those,
49ers' Challenges and Game Momentum
00:12:00
Speaker
those, those. don't know where those. You make sure you put on something. I'm sorry, man.
00:12:08
Speaker
yes i sorry that I'm sorry. Your reception went out. I couldn't hear you. That's tremendous. I didn't hear it. Make sure you're wearing some sort of suit bag that can protect your soft issues, bro.
00:12:21
Speaker
oh Oh, wow. Practicing their shit. I mean, year after year, San Francisco guys has a roster um to be to be great and to contend. So as long as they can avoid the injury bug, which they have not been able to do, then they'll be okay. But yeah, let me holler at two people real quick. And I want to get everybody's opinion on both of these. The first one is to this 49ers kicker, Mr. Eddie Pinheiro, let me talk to you. Using a little LA night. Yeah.
00:12:52
Speaker
No, sir. No. What the are you doing? You mean to tell me you had that good of a chance to tackle the ball carrier should you have put your whole body on the line? and you decided to ole like you was in Spain the bull rush and you decided you didn't want to take on this man and he scored a touchdown. That, as just was said, changed the momentum of the game. And in my eyes, looking back at that replay, if Eddie Pinheiro would have sold out for his team, who could Who cares if you get hurt, brother? You ain't more important than the squad. We lost Moody and him to running after people and pulling a hamstring and hurting their foot trying to tackle somebody. So we've been in those shoes before when the kicker does too much.
00:13:37
Speaker
I think he should not have tried to stop him. He was catch him. He was already the angle. All he could do was try to a slide. He didn't have the angle on him. I have to go back to that. He tried. He tried to do a Perry Saturn leg sweep. Yeah, he was not in that position. And he wasn't even close to doing that. Any other...
00:13:55
Speaker
It wasn't even close. and and the other And the other people are the the refs. And this was from the first game. We all have to talk about this. I need to get an opinion real quick. We have to, have to, please, please, please get rid of the stupid fucking pass interference rule where you get 85 million yards because you decided to throw it down the field. And this wasn't last night. But a receiver can just slow up and get the penalty called on them. 30 yards on Tredavious White on what, yeah, it was pass interference, but maybe 15 yards is good by itself. What do you all think about that?
00:14:34
Speaker
Any thoughts? we i like that i like the I like the rule how it is. That doesn't bother me. What bothered me is they need to figure out what a catch is, guys, because that's the play of the game.
00:14:46
Speaker
Was he down? Was he not? It's because they don't know what a catch is. That's why and if they called it the other way, they're still going to be the same amount of complaints from the other side. We need to learn what a catch is. And that's the bottom line. It basically it was Des Bryant, except this time there was a defender to pick it off.
Debate on Pass Interference Rule
00:15:02
Speaker
Yep. that Like, what is the catch?
00:15:04
Speaker
yeah We can we can also we could also say that that was passing interference on that guy, too. He was face-starting him all up on him. That should have been a passing interference call on him. But let's not forget the play before that. I can't remember what the receiver who receiver was, but he cut he he he took that um that deep out a little too deep when he should have shabbled it off a little bit. He caught the ball, but he dropped it when he hit the ground. He catches that ball. It's a different outcome in this game. Yeah, that's true, too.
00:15:30
Speaker
All right, cool. Let's move it into the last game this morning, 20 or this afternoon, 28-16 Patriots. And I don't know if that was the final score. That was just the last time I looked. I haven't had time to look since a couple minutes ago. But Patriots were winning and should win this game going on to the AFC Championship to face the Broncos. Dirty Mojo, we'll start with you. What did you think about this game?
00:15:50
Speaker
Hey, listen, I called it out yesterday, right? But I said that they were going to win the game on the last-second field goal to beat them, and it was, ah, it's going to be low. No, no, no, no, no. They had five turnovers against the Jacksonville Jaguars. You know, 28 points against that volunteer defense. I feel a little bit sorry about the Jacksonville. wanted to see a better outcome from Jacksonville. i'm Excuse me, I'm sorry, against the Texans. um But you know what?
00:16:12
Speaker
It was a great game, a great game, great season. The one thing that I will say about this is that – um With them winning this game and Bo Nix being – what do you call them, Bo Picks, right, Peach? With Bo Picks being out of the game, this is something that I think that, you know, the Patriots fans do have to look out for. But this is going to be – Hold on, Shockwave.
00:16:33
Speaker
it cho shock wave are but I am a reception. Yeah. Dirty mojo phone home. I went through the tunnel. I went through the tunnel, bro.
00:16:48
Speaker
I went through the tunnel. Can y'all hear now? Can you hear me good now? but yeah now but But look, this is going to be the first time in so many years that there won't be a black quarterback representing ah in the end up in the Super Bowl.
00:17:03
Speaker
oh Some folks are happy about that. representing oh All right. All right. Let's move it into tonight's game. i just want to see if anyone who wants to change their picks.
00:17:13
Speaker
Me and what? Oh, shit. I'm tripping. My bad. My It was really quick. Peach, go ahead.
Texans vs. Patriots Analysis
00:17:23
Speaker
So quick. What was I doing? going i said i thought that I thought the Texans' defense was going to take over this game, but it was actually the Patriots' defense. They were a lot better today than the the Houston Texans. The Texans' offense and C.J. Stroud look abysmal. He looks like he couldn't even do anything. terrible And what did I say yesterday about that 2024 draft class? Wow.
00:17:41
Speaker
Two 2024 draft quarterbacks take their teams to the the championship game again. And we have we have one more game tonight, and the third might do it. I'm telling you, that draft class might be special, gentlemen. Special. And we talked yesterday about C.J. Stroud and the turnovers last week and the five, even though three recovered. Yes, we know. Whatever. Fumbles. Again, just being reckless with the ball. Just throwing it all over the yard. Clubber D., your thoughts? And I want to say that because I'm glad you said that, Omar, because when you said that, he had five interceptions. Lamar was like, no no no, no, no, no. He only had XO. Lamar had like four today, okay? So it made up for for that. And this is like, you get four interceptions they were still close. They were in the game. But then that catch by was bootay.
00:18:26
Speaker
be Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. I just didn't want to say booty. When he caught it one handed, that was over it. It was it. Once that happened, because I thought they were still, you know, it was 13 to 21. It was still kind of close. But when he caught that, that one hand touchdown, that's that takes the win out sales. um I'm shocked. It was that, that high score in the game, but Jesus, I still hats off to the Texas defense, but the Patriots, man, they're good, man. They are good.
Final Game Picks and Predictions
00:18:52
Speaker
Yeah. And a shout out as well to our fellow Terp, Stephon Diggs out here having more spreading more seeds than ODB. But shout out to him for catching that touchdown pass. Salute, Terrapin. We appreciate you. off I meant to bring Testudo into it, but we don't have time. Me and Dirty Mojo got the Rams tonight. Clubber D&P have Chicago. I put the updated over under 49.5. They moved it up one point. the They also gave the Rams one less point, so they or they gave Chicago point. Three and a half for Rams. Anybody want to change their picture? we still going I'm sticking with the Bears. I'm sticking with them.
00:19:27
Speaker
It gives Commander fans an excuse to make it about them and say, well, you know, we should have drafted it. Shut up. doesn't involve you. It's like everybody texted me yesterday. If the team wasn't in it, don't text me.
00:19:38
Speaker
God, man. people talk sha good to teames all right ah Dirty Mojo, do you want to change your pick are you good? I'm staying with the Rams. No, no, no. I'm staying with the Rams.
