seen plenty, plenty of things. We don't like the postponement
of three games, but the games will be played.
As far as we know.
And what I know now is it's time to talk about the things.
We can't wait to see miles. You're up first. Okay. I
I mentioned in the last segment, was talking about Ben
Roethlisberger, but honestly, I think this Tennessee,
Pittsburgh matchup is going to
be one of the best of the weekend. At least. It really
should be and user to pretty heavyweight teams in the AL.
AFC and I love the way that my Grable was had those players
competing throughout the course of the year. I mean, even
though
it was 20 20 last week over the Jacksonville Jaguars that
defense was dominant, right? You don't get a shutout victory
over anybody in this league without being dominant, and
I think they can kind of go in there and do that against
Pittsburgh, but Pittsburgh's defense is
also quite good, right? And so when they're playing at home,
and when they've got the crowd behind them, and they start
playing, A gate in the fourth quarter. I just I can see Ryan
Tannehill thrown an interception or getting sacked
fumbled and then there's a
big defensive play and they got those stupid Powell's going
around and around and around. It's just like, I like you were
saying like it's one of those things that are, it's a program
Victory, right? It's a culture Victory. That's what
the Steelers do. And I think that they're going to be able to
win, but I do
think that Tennessee is going to go up there and compete.
You keep mentioning the stupid towels and I have to take
the brunt of that. He's a Browns fan folks, and he doesn't mean
they're stupid towels. That's just what a Browns fan is
required contractually to say, in
order to be allowed to be a Browns fan.
All right, I'm going to stay in that division is Mike.
That's right. That's so, yeah, stupid towels.
But if I'm fine with that, I just don't want the people
thinking that I cosine. I do not think the towels are
stupid. I have two of them alone up in the vicinity of
this. Korea
will Lamar Jackson play and will it matter? I don't believe
he will play, but the real question is, will it even make
a difference with a banged-up ankle that if he is able to
play? It's not going to be. He's 100% healthy and he's
running around,
like he always does. And even when he is healthy, the offense
isn't good. The Packers defense has been great. They've got
Aaron Rodgers, who is reaching for the Brass Ring of the one
seed in the NFC. I don't think it's going to matter. I think
that's
a factor. If you're the Ravens like do we really? Really
increase our chances of winning this game. If we put Lamar
Jackson, at risk with a bad ankle. We're better
off. Saving him for the last three games,
rolling, the dice with Tyler Huntley and seeing if he can
make a difference, but I just can't wait to see how they
the Ravens handle that and whether or not,
they are able to be competitive with a great team. Like
the Packers, whether it's a large accent or Tyler, honey. All
right, you're up. You're up next miles. Oh, one thing
I would say about Huntley choose last two times. He's played.
He's not had the benefit of a full week of
practice and he does this. Week and I think that that can make
a difference for him. But another thing that I think I'm
really looking forward to seeing is Teddy Bridgewater
against the Cincinnati defense. I think, you know, if
you look at what has happened with Carolina and how they
moved on from Teddy Bridgewater now, Teddy Bridgewater in
Denver. I think it's played pretty well over the course of
the season.
Now, he's got 18, touchdowns seven picks. He's completing
about 68 percent of his passes. I don't really have like
a signature game, but if the Broncos are Not
Mere Pretenders, but actually contenders
then this is a game where Teddy Bridgewater can step up make
the throws that he needs to make make a couple more special
throws when he's got all those darn good weapons outside their
form and you know, we start to really think about the Broncos
with not just their defense but also their offense as a team
that
can up can make the playoffs and
maybe surprise a team if they get there.
And, you know, there's a perception out there that
the Broncos are going to go elsewhere after the season at
quarterback and everything. They're doing. Well, makes them
attractive to an Aaron Rodgers or whatever.
Teddy. Bridgewater takes his team to the playoffs.
What do you do next year? I don't, I don't know. I do. You
know, I really don't know. It gives you great leverage for
any trade discussions because you can say
we're just going to keep trying to build with what we have.
Teddy, Bridgewater still relatively young even though
he's been around since 2014. Still relatively young got
a lot of football left in him and if they get to the playoffs
this year with him, there's an argument made for continuity
next year and sticking with Bridgewater.
I want to see if Dak Prescott can bust out of his slump. Now.
He says it's not a slump Jerry. On says,
I wouldn't call it a slump but that's a fair word to use.
So, you know, if you call the slump, I'm not going to come
punch you in the face. Basically, I'm not going to say
you're wrong. I'm just not going to use that word because
I'm paying the guy 40 million a year. Can he break out of
whatever it is that he is in?
Because you look at the first six games,
statistically, the last six games. Statistically after he
injured, his calf and missed the Halloween game against
the Vikings big difference in the performance of Dak Prescott.
He's got to get back on the right track at this team wants
to be successful. Peaceful in the postseason. We know we're
gonna get there. But what are we going to get
when they get there?
A lot of, it depends upon what doc does final four games miles?
And he says he's fully healthy, but we will see. I mean,
whether it's a slump or not, he's got to perform better over
the last. Hey, my own last one.
Oh, hang on. Hang on. This is the Sherwin-Williams rule. This
is the Sherwin-Williams rule. If you're not injured, then you
just stink that she's pretty Supply. That's Baker, Mayfield.
She's applied as others. She's got. Apply to her quarterback.
If you're not injured, then you just stink.
Yes. Well now you're right. That is that is the Serena
Williams. Will I like that one? All right. I'm so my last word.
Can't wait to see. I can't wait to see if the Dolphins are
going to get to 500. I mean, I can't believe really that
the Dolphins might get to 500 here
at seven and seven right now. There's six and seven and
they're taking on the Jets. We were just talking about. Well,
do we think that the Jets and Giants can combined score 20
points? I don't know if the Jets are going to be able to
score more than 10 because the Dolphins defense is played very
very well into a
tongue of I His also been quite good over the last few games.
I think that he's taking the steps forward that he needs to
now, does that mean that Miami is not going to be in
the quarterback Derby over the offseason? I don't think that
I've seen that much
to make me say that but
I think from the standpoint of you started one in seven, and
now you have a chance to get to 500 does a lot about Brian
Flores. And the way that this coaching staff is kept this
team together and the way that they're still competing.
I agree and it'll be fantastic if they get there. And
remember alternate reality. It almost came to be,
if just, for of the 22 plaintiffs had not said no to
a settlement. All 22 cases would have been settled and
the Dolphins would have traded for Deshaun Watson and maybe
they'd be on the brink of going to seven and seven, but I don't
think so. It's great. What they've been able to do
the past few games and
eliminating the DeShaun Watson. Distraction. I think had a lot
to do with it. I want to see if Tommy can beat the Saints. He
hasn't beaten the Saints in the regular season. He joined
the Buccaneers. Yeah, he won the game. That matters the playoffs
last year.
But this this is important because
here we are ten and three bucks, ten and three Cardinals,
ten and three Packers. Somebody's getting that by.
I think that's why I don't like the one by / conference
generally, but boy, I like it in this situation where you got
one seat and you got three that are vying for it. The Bucks
need this win badly on Sunday night miles,
they do and they're going against the team. That's not
going to have its head coach, right? And I think that, that
could Could certainly affect things just from the standpoint
of the way. The game is managed. So can Tom Brady go in
there and get it.
I think he can.
