the headlines, presented by Hyundai. We'll get to
the Falcons and bears, but we start with the Saints
beating the Rams, 27, 220. How we do this is
we're in the newspaper, editorial office. Chris. Does
that with his mouth? We got breaking news. What's
the headline for Saints versus Rams? The seven-point victory,
LOL, and
see it's night-night time.
Bye-bye Rams, see you in 2023.
This is it. Ya done. Good night.
Molly and your mind, we've said it before. Yeah, we go. We
don't think they're going to make the playoffs. Yeah, now
you're saying for sure, it's done, it's done, it's done
there, just sits there. A physically beaten football
team.
It's too much to overcome.
Now, you got Stafford in the concussion protocol.
They're getting to the point here where they got to be
careful about where they go with the future of the team
here. Just as far as just not letting him get killed. He got
killed yesterday. Again, he threw.
He was phenomenal early on the game.
I mean made some huge passes huge plays in the pass game
while he was getting killed but there's just nothing there.
You know, we talked about it, their defense is really good but
that's a tough matchup for them with this team because this
team's got some balance and when they do
have a little bit of an aggressive attack in
the passing game and they're they're they're healthy at
receiver. This is where, you know, I've been a little bit
hopeful of the Saints, the Saints, have some things about
them that I like to make me think hey they could have been
competitive in the playoff.
Verse ation it might be too late now but this is one of
the potential you know their run game and they can kind of
control the line of scrimmage there
and then
you know, Andy Dalton the offense look like they cut it
Loose a little finally yesterday. So one thing that
bothers me about them just not enough playmaking in
the passing game and they got that out, of course. Oh Lobby
yesterday, that's for sure,
21 of 25 for Andy Dalton, 260 yards, three touchdowns.
It was his first game with three or more touchdown passes
and no interceptions. Since 2019 with the bangle. So just
when you're about ready to write off Andy Dalton, what are
they doing? Put Jamis back in there. Maybe even taste them
Hill
Andy. Dalton brings you right back. Yeah, and played a great
game. Did I mean he really did? Big plays was efficient man.
That was one of those where
you know at when you saw Stafford go down and you went
oh man he's not back in and then the Saints kind of you
know we're hanging around and I took the lead on the Landry
pass down the middle. Your kind of like well they look like
they're in total control this game.
I I think they're going to be able to do much with Bryce
Perkins at quarterback and and mount a comeback. And, you
know, basically the Saints kind of kept their foot on their
throat and that was that in that football game. Yeah. It's
a
head-scratcher for the, for the Rams. It really is, it's rare
that you see a team that went to the Super Bowl kind of just
fall apart like this. So it's their worst start. There are
three and seven since 2011, that was the final year of
Steve
Spagnola. Wow, that was even before the fisher
fisher era, so they have not been
this bad to start a season in a long, long time.
You mentioned that it's Matt Casey was out here
and he was like, when is the last time a Super Bowl
champ look like this? Because a lot of times we do see it. It's
not uncommon to see where the team that loses to have that
hangover but for the Champs. Oh Pete's done a pop quiz right
now. It's and me. Think here, I'll be was the last Super Bowl
champ to finish with a
losing record The Following season.
I want to say,
don't look, I never got, I'm not look, I'm not even in
the documents here. I'm on a fell Jesus. Alright, so
I'm yeah, I'm alright. So right off the bat and don't tell me
if I mean, if I'm right, tell me if I'm right, but if I'm
wrong, don't tell me the answer. I'm going to say it's
the 2016 Broncos after the 2015, Super Bowl win.
I'm incorrect. So they still, they had a wooden we're going
losing record losing record? Yeah. Okay, hold on, don't get
They were nine also they will 97. Damn. Okay okay, okay, hold
on, hold on, hold on, hold your horses there.
Wow I'm really choking my ass off here. I'm going to say
it's the 2060 lers,
yo-yo back, three more years. Three more years is that the
Buccaneers the 2003 Elkin ears was on
famously, drafted defensive end, Dwayne White in second
round, right? Right. As Pete notes, yes, who'd they get in
the third round and they get any one of the third round.
I hit my man. Dwayne white at a Louisville is my buddy.
Yeah, and I third round, they made the greatest pick in
the history of the franchise better than getting Brady in free
agency or anything. So you were part of History, you know, you
don't?
Yeah, yeah, well I forgot. Yeah, you're right. I mean,
I didn't get there yet in my mind is I was cycling back through
the years. I think that would probably been my next guest,
because
yes, I was there
and the teams that want it before Pittsburgh or New
England both times. And they I fell off there so I would have
got there eventually. So there are similarities with that
team?
No and this team.
There's our our team was like
It was a lot, it was drama. It was more Super Bowl drama
Keyshawn, we release them in the middle of the year. We
started. I mean, people were talking about us going
undefeated, we had some crazy losses.
Some losses where you were like, what? Like what? I mean,
the Peyton Manning coming back from 21 points with four
minutes of the football game. That was against us,
right?
We had a game against the Carolina Panthers where they
blocked two field goals
and the extra point to win the game,
right? I mean, we lost some games where you're just, like,
I was sitting there on the sidelines at you're going,
like, is this the NFL? This s**. is crazy.
I mean, how the hell do you win a game in this league? I mean,
I really was. It was, it wasn't. It was an amazing
experience in here. But, yeah, it was
underwhelming, a lot of drama for sure. How many games you
win that year? I think we're seven and nine. Maybe seven,
eight, nine. You know, Rams might be lucky to win, 70.
I know you might still have them there, right? Not great. One
more game to talk about
this one was not great for the Bears, although they started
out with Allie. Need
Falcons came back and beat Chicago, 27 224 your headline
for this game is Da feet. Duh Falcons.
Hurricane de can't beat hurricane. Cordero.
Absolutely right. We did see the did cuz they're all there.
They are. Right there, that bachelor party of like how many
did cause is that while we didn't see this on
the broadcast, man, showing the Twitter picture of Sam hate.
Those people right there. I hate
those guys each and every one of these.
18 doesn't hate anybody, but he hates anybody dressed in
Chicago. Dick has hate the Bears which is why it's bad
because I kind of like Justin field. I don't know. It's like
that's a but I hate the Bears and so I have to hate Justin
fields and
I have to hate all those 18 did cuz
and then afterwards the Falcons tweeted, this they go sorry for
ruining your bare bachelor party because that's what they
did. They came back in one you mentioned Cordarrelle,
Patterson
had 103 yard kickoff return
for a touchdown, his ninth in his career, the most in NFL
history And that was a turning point Falcons were down 10.
Then they were down three after that and then edged out
the Bears by 3 in the end well he had fumbled the series before
that
to let the bears go up. 6:43 you're going to man
man the bear is there in control here
and I Lana I don't know I don't know if they're gonna be able
to keep pace and you know Justin Fields was looking good
and you're just going. Okay, here we go and then he returns
that kick
and just go. Okay. Alright, we're back in the game and then
they get a stop and then they make a nice little clutch rod.
To get the field goal at the half.
And, you know, then it kind of felt like they were in control
of the game for for the second half of the game. And
yeah, it just hey, it's a coin. Flip type of football game that
Atlanta's very comfortable. And this type of game. No, it's
the Mike Vrabel in them. I feel like with Arthur Smith there
but they're Run game. So, there again, another one of those
teams where the formula can't vary if we get outside,
the formula they get blown out or
get dominated. But if we can run the ball,
All right. And you know and I'm not make many mistakes
and stop the run. Usually then hey we can win the football
game. Now stopping the Run wasn't easy in this one because
this group in Chicago can really run it but yeah, good
good win by the Atlanta Falcons.
And Justin Fields is amazing. His. He was man in
another game where took a lot of hits
and like him to be careful a little bit. Yeah, his fifth
straight game with a touchdown pass and a rushing touchdown
ties Kyler Murray.
For the longest streak in the Super Bowl era. But yeah, he
had to leave the game with it looked like an injury shoulder,
right? Didn't look great, third straight loss by three points
or fewer for the Bears so they've been in these games.
Give them credit but
you're right. The Falcons figure out ways to win these
games and yeah, Arthur Smith pretty good. Hey he does great
creative stuff without a whole lot of talent know it does. He
knows what they are.
And then they they just have a toughness about them to wear.
Yeah. As long as they're not too outclassed by the town in
the Team. We got, they're gonna,
they're gonna hang in there and make it interesting because
he's gonna have the proper game plan and he's incredible and
situational football just like variable is
so yeah, another team that's, you know, not sexy. And I don't
imagine them being
in the playoffs. But,
you know, they're one of these teams is going to hang around
and be scary and probably upset a few teams playoff hopes as we
go along here and it's really, it is. It's remarkable because
you just look at it and go,
I don't really know what's. You know, there's no more Keith
thing to talk about with the football team
and the passing game is man,
Kyle Pitts. Almost got hurt yesterday. That was like,
the most scary thing for them is knee. Got a little banged up.
But yeah, it's Smash Mouth and,
you know, defense kind of just hangs in there and they found
a way to get it done. And again Chicago I'm still excited about
what I see in Chicago. Sure. And I do think they're building
something that has a chance to be damn good. In the future
Falcons are going to be the team that the final couple
weeks of the regular season. We have Steve
kornacki. In the studio and they're going to be the team
that still on the list. You're like they still have a chance
to make the playoffs a there in the hunt. It's like you haven't
written them off yet. I'm like no they can fade. It's went out
there a playoff team.
It's amazing and I want to pull up their schedule just kind of
see what it looks. Like they're down describing
Washington this week.
Yep Steelers
by week.
As Saints at Raven's
Cardinals at home bucks.
Yeah, poor Naki. Kornacki early. Phases of being on
the show, they're still in the hunt. I think at the end of
this at the end of the year, week 17 or 18 Hill, written
them, all will be at w out of there and then is
Pete reminds me they will be in Requiem For A Team.
Very well do never be dead. Laughs seems
dead then
revive them
and then you'll talk about their draft positioning and
then bring it back alive. Big Power rank. Yeah, we do all
that for All the bad teams here, we got one more game to
talk about but we'll do that in our next segment as I close.
That was give me the headlines presented
by Hyundai.
