And I've been thinking this for a long time
every game, the Bengals have played in this postseason
has gone down to the end. The very end. Even the Raider game.
Even the Raider game. That was a game at the two-minute
warning. Every game has been closed, fourth down inside
the 10 yard line. They intercepted a pass on fourth down. Yeah,
and so tell me now.
This is going to sound really weird. We're talking about,
who's got the it who's got the edged? Kicker.
Evan McPherson would have the edge over Justin Tucker right
now. That's how good he is, Mcpherson versus gay is
a gigantic Edge for The Bangles
and I'm, and hey, who knows? Maybe it comes down to it.
29. Yarders. So so who really cares? But
McPherson has shown
that
nothing scares him. Nothing shakes him up
to me. Is the Joe borough of kickers?
I just think that when you're talking about
single-elimination, when you're talking about Championship on
the line,
the longer that Joe Borough hangs around the greater
the chance. He's going to make that throw, make that play, make
that run
with Chris Jones
breathing down his neck and he runs away from him and gets
the first down. I remember when that happened in the AFC
Championship. That was when I first said, oh crap, the better
they're going to win when that play happened. That's the kind
of thing that makes everyone think. This is real. And so for
the Rams to do it. I hate to say it.
It's got to be an old-school, boring Super Bowl. They've got
to kick the crap. Out of them early. They've got a knock him
down on the mat. They've got to keep him down. Yeah, when it's
20 13, it's got to become
30 for 23. You've got to keep going and going and Sean
McVeigh smart enough to figure that out and unfortunately make
for a bad Super Bowl if it happens, but that's the ram
safest play because otherwise Burrows going to find a way to
will hit. I just got used to it. I
don't see the Bangles getting rowdy. It in this game.
I just don't see it
every game down the stretch of this season.
Let's go back to the Chargers game in the regular season.
They're behind 902. Nothing at all, of a sudden. It's 24 to 22
and the Bangles and what was it mix and fumbled
and the Chargers bring it back for a touchdown game over.
But the mangoes were driving
after being down
whatever 24 points early
Bangles are driving to win that game.
So I don't see the Bangles getting Routed. What I see.
I see a close game and I think one of the quarterbacks is
going to make a play
late in the game. That's going to be the crucial play. Who Do
you trust game? Who do you trust? I am going the two. I'd
probably trust Borough a little bit more.
You know, I'm going to pick the Bangles. I don't, I'm not
convinced in any way that the Bangles are going to win, but
I just think I've seen too often
going back to. I covered their game against San.
Go in Cincinnati
where they're down two scores
with ten minutes to go
and he just invent scrap on the
Fly and he's got an amazing access to the entire Playbook.
Yeah, any given moment needs a play that's going to work and
he's God and he did that multiple times this year to get
them out of bad spots to get them into good plays and
I've already picked the Rams, but I don't feel good about
your wouldn't be surprised. Want. It's exactly its exact
you feel exactly the way I do.
I was on Pardon The Interruption the other day and
I and I and I basically flip-flop because I said
I will pick the Bangles if you can tell me that they're lying
is going to make sure
that the Rams don't make a mockery of this game
and I'm really on the fence about whether they can do it,
but I think if I
and I don't do it, I don't gamble. If I had to put 10
bucks down somewhere,
I would 10 bucks Down The Bangles and
the pass rush to me is what pushed me toward the Rams
because we saw Super Bowl 50 with the Broncos and Cam
Newton. We saw it last year
with the Buccaneers and Patrick Mahomes.
And I know that Joe burrow
is a magic man, but
he still got swallowed up repeatedly against the Titans
and Buddy. Ryan Tannehill, three, interceptions their home
watching this on TV. Joe Borough may be here making
the rounds. Yeah, you know, yeah,
and and I hating every minute of it.
I just I just think that
that that Rams pass rush with Aaron Donald drawing so much
attention.
Opening it up for Von Miller and Leonard Floyd.
That's where I think the difference is going to be and
you know, one of those just it's just not errand on them.
One thing. I really like about Aaron Donald.
He's got some no-name guys on that defense
and every time Aaron Donald talks about their defensive
effort. He mentions, you know, Sebastian de and gains and
their linebackers and
Scott the safety. You came out of nowhere
quiz question
who's got the last interception? Assuming Tom
Brady doesn't play again. Who's got the last interception ever
of Tom Brady.
What would have to be somebody from the Rams was a Tweddle
Nik Scott. Oh Nik Scott, seventh round pick from Penn State
a couple of years ago who was drafted
when John fossil called them before the draft and he goes
I'm going to try everything in my power to get you on this
team.
Mmmmm, and that's all he was drafted. As special teamer
hasn't played much. And now that he has to play every one
thing about the Rams. It's interesting
people, make a, mockery of them trading all their ones,
and I understand that I get it. You want your first round picks,
but do you realize that since Sean McVeigh is taken over this
job in 2017. The Los Angeles Rams, have the second most
draft choices in the NFL.
They're just not in the first round. They using their lottery
tickets later. And and so and so a Nick Scott comes through
the 250, third pic or whatever he was.
And to me, I love
these Underdog. Guys. Just coming through on this gigantic
stage and look,
you know, Mike did you see earlier today?
Eric Weddle is going to have the Green Dot on his helmet.
Yes, and he'll be calling the signals in the Huddle.
Eric Weddle. Who, what was it now? 32 days ago.
Go was the carpool dad in San Diego for his kids,
you know, retired for two years
had not played football and 734 days.
Welcome to the playoffs. Mr. Wittol.
Well Peter likes the Bengals. I like the Rams. I just want
a good game. Yeah. I have a feeling the better. The game is
the more the opening is going to exist for the Bengals to
take.
