points as two of their Rivals, scored combined for the entire
game. It was 40 points 22:20, and they played an extra 10
minutes
later. They fight 70-minute 70 minutes of free, it just felt
like it was headed toward that like, neither team deserved to
win. Neither team. Really wanted to win. They kept trying
not to win and ultimately no one did win. When the Giants in
the Commander's got together for the first of two meetings,
over the balance of the season.
The
the Thai leaves, the Giants at 74 and one, the commanders are
75 and one rematch is week, 15 in Washington. And
you know, I feel like one of these teams is going to make
the playoffs and one of them may be Falls victim to getting
picked off by the lines of the Packers and sand yesterday. Who
knows?
Who knows which team is going to be? I feel like
the commanders are still overall better right now
and the Giants are sinking
but after yesterday, who the hell knows.
Yeah, and it's one of those things to where, you know, you
look at those two teams until heinicke. I mean he did a good
job to help get that game to overtime. You had to make
the fourth down. Throw he made it, you know? And that's
good kind of thing that I think he's just been doing for them
and he makes the plays when it just seems like, oh my gosh,
I don't know how you're gonna be able to do anything and he just
did it, you know, and then this play. But that seems really,
really good to get himself into the end zone.
Hitting that be button,
but when you don't win, In the game.
It's so weird. No, NFL players. When they have ties, they come
off the field in there. Like, what in the world just happened
because it's kind of a Nathaniel Hackett rule, right?
Somebody's gotta win this game. Well, no you don't
you can't. I and then when you tie
you end up making some kind of weird Playoff scenarios and
like last year, you know, we saw the Steelers had a tie and
because of that when the Chargers lost in week 18, that
allowed them to get on into the postseason. So
this could be Something that really has some interesting
consequences in a few weeks. Well the time makes it easier
to circumvent a lot of the tiebreakers
right and as it relates to the Giants
and the Commander's assuming they don't tie again
in week 15 whoever wins that game has the head-to-head
tiebreaker without any further. Question between those two and
whoever of those two
slips in just above or lands just behind
the Lions of the Packers. Yeah, it makes it easier to clean
everything up and we don't go one, two, three, four levels.
Deep trying to figure out how we're going to resolve the
the various strange
factors at the NFL uses to break these ties. So it does
make it easier when we get to the end of the road. And
obviously, there should be a 1 at the end of the Giants of
the festivity realized that and pulled it all together. We
gotta get a one on there. That's okay. That's okay. It's
early Monday.
We're all tired. I know I am. I'm,
I'm looking I, yeah,
I'm looking at a long trip home. Today just in time to
watch the Buccaneers in the Saints and we will have a 10
second preview of the Bucks and Saints coming up for now
though. Let's go ahead.
Well, let's do this. I
because we talked about how strange the ties, let's hear it
directly from the two coaches involved, their thoughts, Ron
Rivera, and Brian table on the tie game that happened between
the Commander's in the Giants.
What exactly are you frustrated about today? But I
know. I'm really that's, I mean,
I address them and I wasn't sure how to address them. What
is it that I do for your playoff chances?
We'll figure it out and there's a long way to go
better than if it was a loss, not as good. If it was a win,
sometimes I feel like coaches would rather lose than tie
though that they don't want to be in. The monument is weird,
limbo Purgatory. Like I don't want this I don't like what do
I say to
my team? Um, how am I supposed to react? What do I, what do
I feel? What do I do? Like, I don't want that. I'm a creature
of habit. I know how to deal with a loss. I know how to deal
with a win. I don't know
how to deal with this other thing so I don't even want to
put it on my plate.
Yes, I agree with you in the moment, it always feels like
that when coaches are addressing the media after
games, where it's like. I just, I don't know what to do here
and we didn't lose, which is good, but we also didn't win,
which is bad, but then in a few weeks now, the Thai actually is
A better than a loss. And so, it's hard to kind of process
that I think in the moment. But yeah, a tie is better than
a loss. So
it's not the worst thing in the world
and in a 17-game season, it's the only way you even have
a chance of finishing 500 at 88.
Which both of these teams now, do. All right, let's go ahead
and take a break when we return
DeShaun Watson plays football
