Good morning great NFL weekend well except that the Cowboys should have beaten Detroit in Dallas yesterday and been on their way to San Francisco to get revenge over those sorry 49ers but don’t get me started on that just yet okay so now we’re down to lions at
49ers n favored by seven and I think the Niners can pretty much name that score by 1421 whatever unless it rains again and Brock py starts throwing Ducks because he is the biggest X Factor left in these playoffs and we now have momes at Lamar Baltimore favored by three and a half
And I believe Lamar will take care of momes and that the Ravens will give the Chiefs a swift kick and win that one by 10 but let’s start with with last night with another wide right for Bill’s fans this time a sliced right field goal and a slice wind that would have forced
Overtime Chiefs 27 bills 24 good morning to Richard Sherman and Michael Irvin playmaker you first you you and I did pick the bills what was the biggest reason they lost well Kansas City Chiefs they have this guy his name is Patrick Mahomes and and I’m going tell you something we talk
About games like this the reality is you can throw with all these numbers throw for this many yards do you show up and make the play when it’s most important to make the play one5 for the Kansas City Chiefs he shows up and makes the play every time it’s amazing you think
About he’s 6 and0 in the division round right here 6 and0 every statistical category first or second the more pressure in the game the more he seems like he is pressurized for the moment which is incredible 6 and0 he has a 70% completion percentage in this big spot
Average of 302 yards 16 touchdowns zero interception 16 touchdowns zero interception everything first to second 115 passer rating that that’s the guy that no matter what when you’re playing with a guy like that no matter where the game goes how bad the game gets everybody’s on the sideline saying
That’s okay that guy right there he ain’t GNA let us lose and that’s why the Buffalo Bills lost they have a guy like that guy right there he’s trying to make sure we don’t lose but not like Patrick momes he’s the best big time player that
We’ve gotten and we we seeing a a a number of different ways we know we we’ve seen explosiveness with Tyreek hill now we’re seeing the steadiness I’ll do what I have to do even if I have to matriculate this ball down the football field I am everything on this
Football field and he showing it every week that’s why the Buffalo Bills are sitting home they knew Patrick Mahomes keeps sending us home they can R they can sing that rhyme Patrick Mahomes keeps sending us home because that’s the reality Patrick mahes keep sending usri M keep sending
Usy that’s right there I like it I skip this is what I thought would happen yeah I I said it earlier in the week and I said it on my podcast I don’t think Josh Allen can be Patrick Mahomes I think he’s the dragon that he cannot
Slay I think he is the Goliath that David cannot slay everybody talks about the David and Goliath and David slay Goliath and but but you got to realize that’s one time out of 100 the other 99 times Goliath beat David against the wall and killed him so you got to
Understand that when you’re playing Patrick Mahomes you have to go over and Beyond to beat him you not just and that’s not what Buffalo was trying to do Buffalo was sitting there playing conservatively playing not to lose the game they’re throwing half the completion that Josh Allen had were
Behind the line of scrimmage or at the line of scrimmage that’s not how you’re beating Patrick Mahomes I you’re trying to run the clock and and make the game short sure I get you but all I hear all the time is how Elite of a quarterback Josh Allen is I hear these Elite
Quarterbacks they they can do it on their own they don’t need help they they just have everything it takes no no they don’t and and and the way that Joe Brady called this game it was almost as if they didn’t trust Josh Allen to win this game they didn’t trust that Josh Allen
Could go out there and out execute and outplay Patrick Mahomes so they said hey we’re going to run the ball we’re not going to push the ball down the field very we’re going to pick and choose our spots that we’re going to push the ball down the field they they only push the
Ball down the field maybe three or four times in the game uh they missed to Shakir on what looked like could have been a touchdown uh he missed Diggs well he hit Diggs in the hands and Diggs dropped it which should have been a touchdown but other than that sideline
Down the sideline MH down the sideline right side it just looked like they did not trust their quarterback that they have such high expect and such high regard for to win this game they were instead happy to see him run the ball Skip and Skip I’m just saying you you
One one and three this week on your predictions you were two and four last week skip I don’t know yeah yeah but I won four dinners during the season from you and I won five from keesan I’m actually 9 and0 in dinner bets on the show you you forget about
Them losses that you took late in the season and then your loss in your prediction with losses you think that those are dinner bets but you have to actually make the dinner bet on the show to to have a dinner bet I I we didn’t have any bets on those you had
A bet that Dallas make the NFC championship and they’re not there but hey okay we were going game by game okay so here’s the point I hear what both of you say about Patrick Mahomes I give it up to Mahomes he was very good I thought Josh Allen outplayed momes last night
Especially given degree of difficulty because the bills defense was flat out decimated they were even losing players during the game we had backups to backups to backups we had guys off their couch playing defense for the bills last night and don’t get me started on Matt Milano gone early this year trevius
White gone early this year it was a mismatch to me of momes versus what was left of the bills defense and they got little to no pressure on Mahomes so he’s non chalantly back there picking them to pieces and when I looked up late in the
First half and he hit Kelce for that 22 what was it 22 yarder for a touchdown how do you not cover Travis Kelce how how do you leave him gone wide open Like Nobody’s around him well obviously he’s the number one option left for Patrick Mahomes so how do you
Do that so given the pressure on Josh Allen and and given the STS that I’m looking at Josh Allen actually dominated this game with his arm and his legs even though I give you Richard he was dinking and dunking but I’ve never heard of such a statistical anomaly as what happened
Last night the bills ran 78 plays to only 47 for Patrick Mahomes time of possession was 37 minutes for the home team to only 23 minutes for Patrick Mahomes conversions on third and fourth down would you believe Buffalo went nine of 17 that’ll win a whole lot of
Football games and yet Patrick was only asked to go five times on third down he faced Five Thirds and guess what he converted one out of five one out of five versus nine out of 17 so you step back from this and say well well then what happened well to Richard’s
Point Josh Allen took two big shots in the fourth quarter down the field and if we could see him again you you Ed to him Richard the first one’s to Trent sherfield out of Vanderbilt University and I thought this ball this is early in the fourth quarter should have been
Caught this is about what 1059 left in the fourth quarter and he goes deep to Trent sherfield and he’s again it’s not an easy catch but it’s just catchable we’ve seen that catch made repeatedly in this league and Trent sherfield bounced around he’s been with four different teams that’s all you got
Left because you don’t have Gabe Davis maybe gab DAV Davis catches that ball it was a good enough throw to be caught and it’s going to change the game and then a couple of minutes pass and we got another one that you both referred to and it’s Travon Diggs I mean to sorry
Stefon Diggs and I wish it was Travon Diggs wish he could have played this year but bombs away not many humans can throw it that far and I don’t know what’s going on between these two Michael you have talked about it all year long they’re just not on the same
Page I don’t know if they have personal issues I don’t know what’s going on it that ball has to be caught and that ball changes the outcome of this game in my opinion it’s just everything CU it it gets the crowd into and again what’s hard to believe is that that Josh
Allen’s offense had no plays over 20 yards except for his I mean the closest was his 18 yd run and he had a 15 yard pass to to digs but he threw him eight balls and he caught three for 21 total yards well Michael you said on Friday
Diggs has got to rise and shine because there’s no Gabe Davis and I I don’t know what’s what’s happening between those two but I do know this Josh Allen played his guts out last night I don’t know he leted him in rushing he he made those
Two throws that could have won the game and yet we get to the last throw was the the second down throw in that final series to Shakir and I again does he get his his left tackle I give him I give him nothing I give him nothing because I get
Tired of hearing you make excuses for elite quarterbacks and then turn around and tell me what Brock pie isn’t able to do I saw Brock py stand in the pocket and make an almost exact throw like that accurately to Jawan Jennings on a third and 10 where they had to have it and
Then Josh Allen we’re sitting here saying did somebody did somebody step on him no nobody stepped on him nobody did anything I disagree with you skip he did not play well he did not outplay Patrick mahes Patrick Mahomes won the game he outplayed him he out executed him when
His team needed him he did not execute this play they had to have SK when you have to have it you have one throw you got to and and what’s so interesting is even that throw and I we watch Jordan love make that exact same throw they exact same fall back falling
Back with people in his arm but man oh my God when he flicks that ball out there it’s like that’s that’s that dude I was like okay I I thought I was about to get a reprieve like oh he’s about to beat the ners h i was dusting on my
Shoulders on that you know what I mean but but right there on that play right there when you what we were talking about and I started talking about this it’s making those plays in The crucial moments those are those are the difference somehow some way a Patrick
Mahomes find a way to make that play Josh made some incredible plays yesterday I mean he was doing everything running throwing back you know the lateral when he’s in a full Sprint I mean he was trying to do everything to win that football game but you got to make this play right
Here that’s the game right this the game that’s the game and and you tell me from week one weeks 1 to 10 you got 73 receptions to step on digs he have seven touchdowns to step on digs in weeks 10 11 to 20 you have 44 receptions in only
One touchdown and that came back to bite you right in the rear when you needed it and Michael why what happened what what’s Your Gut Feeling what’s your educated guess on this what happened we about this way back in the beginning of this did and I said there’s something
Going on here and nobody’s talking about it and I said at the time time I remember I used that old rust of a bicycle you can’t just paint over rush you got to send it down get it out of here discuss what it is before we paint
Over it if you paint over it that rust comes back that rust came back right here in the playoffs because you’re painted over without sending it down figuring it out when you go from being that hot of a moment or that being a hot spot for your team the first 10 weeks to
Not even being the man on your team the next 10 weeks that tells you something something something was going on and and I don’t know if we’ll ever know but I can tell you this I I don’t know if I I I almost want to say I guarantee Stefan
Digs won’t be back in Buffalo and and but but he’ll be somewhere and he’ll be catching footballs over aund of them and what I what I don’t think we’re doing is Skip you made a great point they had no plays over 20 yards you tell me a game
Where you’ve heard of a quarterback playing great where they didn’t have a completion or a run over 20 yards and you said hey that guy played great you have not done that I mean this is the first time this is the oneof and and Richard he he had a 50 yard completion
To Stefon Diggs that was dropped I I don’t I didn’t see a 50 I saw a 50 yard incompletion skip I’m not talking about what ifs what happened this is the playoffs you you win or you go home they lost you did not complete it he didn’t I
Don’t care if he dropped it or what you do not have a completion over 20 yards we don’t get to make excuses for anybody else in the playoffs so I’m not giving them to him so let’s see what Josh Allen did pull off let’s look at the three
Touchdowns that he did score let’s look at the two runs because I’m not saying he’s Lamar Jackson but you want 250 if we could see him running into the end zone my God design runs they a lot of that’s that’s that’s momes in that’s like I I
Don’t I know that’s right so so so again we we’re watching great plays gotcha when they needed to have it and throughout the game the reason this time of possession the reason that they they they dinked and dunked their way down the field like a quarterback you do not
Trust Joe Brady called this game like he had a quarterback that was either rookie or young or a quarterback that he did not trust to push the ball downfield win this game and I know that Josh Allen has led the league in turnovers year after year after year and they played this
Game and called this game like he was a quarterback who had a turnover issue so that’s why you didn’t have the passes over 20 yards because his offensive coordinator did not trust that he would push the ball down the field without turn giving it to the other team and if
That’s a top five quarterback and you have to play that game and you have to call that game that way then we got a lot more questions skip well but but you also got you you also got to consider that the defense his defense was banged
Up so now he has to come into the mode where I have to make sure I stay up with Patrick Mahomes in that offense because they they couldn’t stop they couldn’t stop those guys went up and down the field I think they scored like the first nine drives everybody was scoring up and
Up and down the field we came into this game thinking and talking about how great that Kansas City Chiefs defense has been playing and and Josh and Josh was going to have an issue with it no he was he was slicing it up he kept them in
That game so that’s why I say yeah he he he play he played a good game but he didn’t make the plays that he needed to make to win the game and and and poor fella that kicker I just feel boy I mean God it wasn’t even a Super Bowl and you
Still going to be up there with Scott nor you going to be up there nor not where you want to be he is and allow me to say this is an issue of mine a tiate of an issue that you guys haven’t done with me on this show yet but we had one
On Saturday night now we had one won last night I don’t know why this game allows great games played by great players such as yourselves to come down to a swing of the leg by a guy who doesn’t even play football I I I’ve never gotten it but here’s 41 yards and
This guy had been very good because he was nine for nine in these type of situations late game close game situations tie or win situations and yet after the Warriors battle it out for what what you know 58 minutes then then the little kicker trots on the field and wins or loses the
Game he decides it because he doesn’t play the left to right wind and he slices it so it’s wide right off his foot it it didn’t have a prayer off his foot and I know you guys had to live your whole careers with kickers because
As Josh Allen said after the game I I wish we hadn’t put him in that situation well you do you wish that the real football players could have won the real football game but football has sort of grandfathered in this rule of oh let’s send a little soccer kicker out there to
Kick it between two uprights it’s it’s the most bizarre way to decide games I could even imagine it’s very gimmicky it’s exciting for all the wrong reasons to me and yet I know you guys have had to live with kickers who went South mentally and lost games for you right
Skip I I I don’t know I mean you you arguing with the rules of football that have been in place for 100 years I I’m not going to I just don’t like it but I I I’ve been I’ve been 40 years against this I just don’t like it you it’s easy
To not like stuff that doesn’t work for your team and if it benefited the Dallas Cowboys and they won some games off of it hit Super Bowl game winner I’m sure well by the way we we had the best kicker in football this year yeah and
He’s at home enjoying these games um I hear you skip but what I’m saying is that at the end of the day kicking is part of the game but you cannot point to a situation where you called a quarterback’s performance great and he did not have a completion over 20 yards
You tell me a time where where Tom they ran they played this game they dinked they dunked they controlled the time of possession they played like they had a rookie quarterback and you’re sitting here telling me this man he had they had 21 points on the game so this I
Understand what you’re saying playmaker that they sliced the m them but 21 points is not slicing in Dyson and and and really pushing it like that’s 21 points I got you that’s 21 but this is not 41 where you’re like oh man they were really because they did not play
The kind of game where they trusted hey we can beat Patrick Mahomes and then the the the the fake punt the fake punt call oh my God I’m still not sure what happened on that play like I that that I’m not either but but you can’t hold
That against Josh Allen right no I that’s on Sean mcder or or it even look like a supp Shan mcder I mean when you look at the TV copy so I’m not exactly sure I think it might have been a check because they didn’t have enough on the
Field talk about it was a check they had 10 men yeah but still that’s crazy but but the Hardman fumbled through the end zone canceled it out so you got to reprieve on that right right and I I thought that’s where you would go to skip with that rule the fumble rule that
When it goes through the end zone like it didn’t they get the ball on the twin that’s another crazy Ru you know what I mean that we should also that Ru that rule needs to stay because these offenses need to have some kind of punishment for trying to hey you at the
End zone protect the football or the defense gets the ball back I mean I’m but if it goes through you guys didn’t recover the ball the defense don’t recover the ball I said okay let’s let’s take it back five yards whatever but you didn’t recover so you shouldn’t get it
But but that that’s a whole another story that that’s a whole another story listen Josh Allen in this moment when he had that ball coming down the field that moment right there is what this game is all about Josh I know you got it in position to kick that field goal but
I need him to go and get that touchdown and put all that pressure back on Patrick Mahomes and say this is my house you go right now let me see you do that 13 second thing again that’s what I need kind of like Brock P did on on Saturday
Night when he drove his team down the field 12 Place 69 yd drive game winning touchdown I mean something like right so Richard the final irony of this is I have never been a big Josh Allen fan I just thought he played his butt off last night I I thought he tried to
Put that team on his shoulders as best he could under the circumstances without Gabe Davis with a decimated defense and he kept them right in it to The Bitter End and it was bitter wide right so that that’s all my point for once I’m defending him all right up next we got
To get to the game on Saturday night Richard’s going to have a strong opinion about this because he’s already spewing about it you were the 49ers ever lucky on Saturday night we’ll get to that Next this episode is sponsored by better help because your mental well-being matters forget the new year new you Mantra therapy helps you find your strengths so you can ditch the extreme resolutions and make changes that really stick unlock the power of therapy with better help and witness the transformative benefits it brings to

Santa Clara 24 to 21 I picked the Packers to win this game and did they ever have their chances but Richard you played for the ners you know them very well scale a 1 to 10 how impressed best were you with their comeback skip it was
A 10 for me because I knew knew I knew this team would struggle with the elements I know this team and so when you’re going into the fourth quarter and this is a k andah hand coach team who has never won went down seven points or more going into the fourth quarter
Literally 0 in 30 then I’m a little stressed I’m a little stressed Brock pie goes out there and he’s struggling all game with the wet football you wiping you can see him wiping his hands uh the defense has made some stops but it’s a concern you’re trying to figure out
Where the points are going to come from Depot Samuel is hurt he’s out of the game and you’re starting to see this offense kind of stumble and then of course the last Drive of the game when they have to have it Brock py makes all the plays he needs to make he does
Everything that he needs to do uh key third down passes and then of course the the drive is capped by Christian mcaffrey in in his five yard touchdown run and they win the game but it it it showed a lot of resilience and to get somewhere
You’ve never been skip you got to be able to do something you got to be willing to do something you’ve never done and they had never come back and won a game under Cal Shanahan went down seven points and they were able to do
That skip so it showed me a lot of lot of fight a lot of grit lot of perseverance and I love to see it and I love to see it coming from Brock py the guy the guy was it trash that said he was the only quarterback in the worst
Quarterback in the playoffs but now he’s one of the four left I just keep hearing the hate I keep hearing the nonsense and I keep hearing the praise for other quarterbacks then I watch the other quarterbacks not play well and then I keep hearing the the hate for Brock P
But the praise for other guys I heard you praise Josh Allen and how how well he played he had under 200 yards passing he had 72 rushing yards not a pass over 20 yards in the game but he played well and I’m going to hear you criticize Brock py in his performance
Played when he played better than Allen and guess what skip guess what his team won the game that’s the difference you you’ve got your pom poms out I just got my truth tellers out skip because I’m tired of the BS so I’m I’m ready to skip the BS of sorts skip the
BS goke y’all are hilarious to me right now first of all skip you lead in by saying a comeback oh a comeback was it really true a comeback yes I mean in the end they start the fourth quarter by seven points they kick a field goal so
It’s really four if you really if you really want to call it a comeback you can Richard I’m not hating I’m just saying I’m just saying a comeback is double digit deficit that’s not everybody when when we all start talking about the San Francisco 49 as being able
To come from behind we’re not talking about a fourpoint come from behind situation we’re talking about double digit deficits when when everybody out there in the world is talking about the 49ers can’t come from behind they haven’t been able to come from behind they haven’t shown
Us they can come from behind we’re not talking about four points I understand in the grand scheme of things it’s less than what their opponent has so it means that they scored they caught up they passed them I’m talking about 10 points 12 that’s okay a win is a win is a win
No matter how you get it but what I would say is you’re dealing with a young team in the Green Bay Packers so on the a 1 to 10 how impressive was it it’s really really to me it just wasn’t all that impressive it just really wasn’t
Because the way that it unfolded if you kick that field goal if he kicks that field goal he makes it that’s seven points that they’re now up opposed to four you’re calling the game different if you’re Kyle Shanahan now you become aggressive I got a win opposed to all I
Want to do is at least tie to force a overtime situation possibly hey I tip my hat off to everybody in in San Francisco Brock p played a solid football game although his longest pass went for about 32 or so yards it wasn’t like he was just out there slicing and dicing and
Killing he won the game that’s the most important thing that’s the most important thing he tried on multiple occasions to give the ball to the other team they came up short they didn’t catch it that’s not his fault he tried to so now when you look at everything
And you fast forward to the Detroit situation what what is that going to look like okay Detroit has a book on on the San Francisco 49ers based on the way the Green Bay Packers played them down to the wire okay they got some receivers over there just like the uh uh just like
Green Bay had Young Romeo dobs that they was trying to continuously connect with now you got to deal with Amar St Brown and then jamus William uh jamus yeah that’s right Jam jamus is jamus Williamson you got to deal with him then on top of that you got a a dog at
The running back position so now you got a little bit of a different offense you seen with Aaron Jones was able to do to him imagine what Gibbs may try to do to him you know going into this game they’re going to try to play physical they’re not they’re going play action
Pass it and Jared G out of everybody on this particular football team although he has had little success he kind of understands what it’s like to play against the San Francisco 49ers understand I think that goes a long way inside this locker room as they move
Forward I only has only lost to the San Francisco 49ers that’s all he’s ever done I I understand but when you play somebody and you have an understanding of how they’re going to play you hopefully you turn things around when you go see them I like San Francisco I
Think they’re a dog of a team but I’m not going to be shocked if Detroit goes in there and puts him on the ropes I’m not going to be shocked at all just like I wasn’t shocked about Green Bay be very shock I think I would be too actually so
Mr Sherman back to you sir mhm I wish I’d been sitting with you early in Saturday night’s game to be able to watch the looks on your face because it felt early on like Green Bay was going to do a Dallas on San Francisco as in just run them right out
Of their own building as in would you believe that no team over the last 20 years worth of playoff games m in its first three drives have gone all the way down inside the Red Zone and and not scored a touchdown okay they got that’s the difference that’s the difference
Between Dallas and San Francisco all right you you I will give you that you don’t have to but it looked like Green Bay was poised to do a number on San Francisco and I’m going to show you a couple quick plays here please on that
First drive it gets down to a third from the 11 and I thought Jordan love threw a very good ball to Romeo dos ran a predict they scored on Dallas wh they scored on Dallas with 13 it was and Ward is all over it I thought Romeo should
Have snatched it it just one of those plays where Michael Irvin’s going to catch this ball kean’s going to catch this ball because it gets to hands it gets to hands and you got to fight for it you got to body him you got to screen
Him you you just got to you got to snatch that because Four Points it’s four points that get left on the table because they had to obviously take a field goal all right then then let’s get to the turning point of this game which comes with 540 left in the first quarter
This is the first San Francisco drive and your man Brock pie throws it to Darnell Savage just as Dak threw it to darn Savage Oh my God oh my God I fell off my sh I rolled on the flooor because it is it is gift wrapped it’s as gift
Wrapped a pi six as you will ever ever see he is gone he is housing he is going to turn the momentum of this game on its head because all of a sudden you’re going to say oh my God we’re down 10 to nothing and Brock P’s
Going to be second guessing and he’s going to get a little flinchy and you had him you you had him he caught the One D through and he took it home he dropped the one Brock C he threw him and he didn’t take it home and you dodged a
Big old bullet right there DOD anything skip no you do no no no no I’m I’m with skip though you dodg that one dodged it man come on you want this isn’t horseshoes this isn’t horseshoes Kip and ke I don’t give a dang what y’all talking about you’re talking about
Got care what we talking about at all you’re talking about is what ifs tell me what happened because because the difference between y’all and me is the team that needed to make the plays made the play so they I don’t have to talk about the what if I can talk about the
What is I don’t have to talk about what if I don’t have to be if Bess I can tell you what is and what is is the San Francisco 49ers for the third consecutive year are in the NFC Championship so y’all telling me about well if this would have happened if this
Would have happened well I mean you talking about weak points did did did he catch the ball did he did he catch the ball key no he does that not allow Detroit to understand that doesn’t allow Detroit to do anything not at all there’s two different teams
So you’re you’re about to tell me you’re about to tell me a quarterback who’s I think 1- seven against the San Francisco 49ers in his career just give me because it’s not a what if I’m not giving you what ifs I’m G give you what is he’s one
In seven and he hasn’t played well so you talk about having the book on somebody you said they got the book on him like like San Francisco 49ers don’t have the book on Jared golf like they haven’t played him talk about C in the defense I’m talking about the defense
Run by Aaron Glenn who give you an opportunity to see the mistakes that the 49ers could present to themselves and you have to take advantage of hey Aaron Glenn bring rain make sure you bring rain you bring those kind of conditions of wet football because that’s the only
Way you’re going to stop Brock py in this offense if if if the conditions stand for it because if they have great conditions this isn’t going to be a a super close game this is will be this will be a seven-point ball game at least for the 49ers winning this game they are
The better team they they are better on every level this defense hasn’t stopped people consistently they they stopped the the the Tampa Bay Buccaneers who were a fringed playoff team majority of the year and they barely beat them so let’s not get crazy here Baker threw for
349 and three touchdowns so you’re about to sit here and tell me the her and Glenn go to defense is going to they’re going to do what they had gave up 400 yards of offense all I’m telling you is that they gathered the information based on the footage if they could if they
Could somehow uh capitalize on those mistakes that the 49ers presented it and they cash in on them it’s a different game this is what skip is saying man you got to listen sometimes I’m listening to people just CU I’m listening doesn’t mean you’re making great points so so
I’m I’m about to I’m about to listen to you tell me a defense that just gave up 400 yards on offense is going to turn around and play well I I got one for you please these aren’t if Sands or butts just to remind you we’re going to hit
This head on a little later in the show MH on Christmas night I watched Brock pie on that same field against real live football team that Behemoth from the East throw four interceptions so I I think those were in statistics I think is that who they playing this week okay
Because skip because skip you’re sitting there they’re sitting there who’s in the NFC Championship Game skip who’s in just tell me cuz I want to hear to they are right is this the first time they’ve been there skip or have they been there for the last five years skip cuz cuz I
Want you you may not want to speak on this skip because you don’t have the experience your team’s never in it your team’s never never in the NFC Championship they haven’t been in three decades they’re one of two teams that haven’t been in the NFC Championship since the since they realign the
Divisions because because because I I want skip to understand you don’t have a place at this table skip at this table to talk about this cuz your never in it they’re never in it they’re never in it they’re never in it you you you you can’t just ignore history because
History has happened the first 30 Super Bowls that were played 16 times we were in the NFC Championship Game the Dallas Cowboys there without Jerry Jones in recent memory so skip you stay in history you be a historian skip I’m going to be say I deserve a seat at the
Table those counted wait Richard the internet wasn’t even available they haven’t been in the internet age see so that’s enough I’m talking about a team that’s called three consecutive and is in it right now let’s talk about that team okay all right that team that survived okay we you got to do
A couple more quick plays so now Green Bay drives again it looks like you’re in trouble again and it gets down to a fourth and whatever a foot and I thought Jordan love made it on the fourth down I actually did too 100% I thought he did I
Thought he got did it looked like based on this angle that helmet and ball you don’t you don’t even see where the ball is the refere foot you don’t see where the ball is so you said the helmet and ball where’s the ball where’s the man if it’s I would assume that the
Ball you would assume but you can’t see it no I can’t but it looks as though based on where that Referee on the other side is at standing and he crossed it Richard he didn’t get it I’m not saying the referees helped San Francisco or anything he didn’t get it it just looked
Like to me and skip that he got it initially I got you he got it it changes the game at that point it’s it’s a seveno swing it’s a it’s a turnover on Downs all right and then finally here we go again with another kicker missing another kick
Except this kid kicker this rookie kicker gakin made a great call on Jordan love he’s made a lot of great picks stock in their defense stock in their receiver room with nothing but young Talent that’s only going to get better except for the kicker that he plunged on
And there it is again and he hook left to the upright okay I again it’s it’s huge it’s huge in the football game and it comes down kicker missing a little If he if he Richard you know this man I’m Francisco didn’t miss a kick earlier
In the game no that’s not that’s so so we only that’s the kind of nonsense talking about early in the game Richard this is later in the game man what what what does it matter we’re talking about two Miss kicks they missed the kick San Francisco missed the kick irrelevant
Negated H how so how could it because they both just missed a Ki If he if if if if if if he makes this he makes this kick Richard they go up by seven the game is being called differently it’s being called differently that would make sense if San Francisco didn’t drive for
A touchdown Kean they drove for a touchdown they didn’t drive for a field goal like they drove for a touchdown they had to drive for a touchdown to win and the field goal wasn’t going to help them so again they drove for a touchdown so what what they have a touchdown
Either way what you talking about you’re going to call the game differently they needed a touchdown either way you’re gonna call the game differently man pressure you that’s a that’s idiotic that’s idiotic you literally just said they would call it different I’m not going to argue with
You I’m just telling you they’re going to call it different what are they calling different if they needed a touchdown oh they needed a touchdown so they’re going to call it different because the pressure is different Richard they needed a touchdown either way I I’m not going make I’m I’m not
Going to argue with you not to argue with you man they needed a t Richard I’m going to give you this let’s see what Brock did do because he threw a bunch of mysterious looking ducks to me he he was having a bad night it was still raining
And to his credit I want to give you this I’m going to show you the three big plays on that final drive credit credit and more credit because the first one is that third and five throw to iuk this is this is a game saer right here this is
Huge I give you that one you had to have it and then he throws it to that kid connley I don’t even know who he is it’s the next play the the out route this is the best throw he made all night I don’t even know who this kid is but but he
Came out of nowhere he was in the game no because he wanted to prove these people that because of all these weapons he had you know what I mean so he had to use all his weapons he used all his weapons and then he does this the how
Far was the scramble nine and that was that set him up that did it I’m going to give you all the above playmaking playmaking and more playmaking so you won and you get Detroit should be Dallas but who’s who’s counting but we will talk about that in
Just a few minutes here on the show should be D all right okay but up next we got to get to the other big game on Saturday was that Lamar Jackson’s greatest game of his career in the second half ooh MVP was that was that
The MVP ooh M MVP 23 yards at there O Lamar Jackson threw for only 152 yards but he ran for 100 he did throw two touchdown passes he did run for two touchdowns and the Ravens blew open a 10 to nothing game at Halftime and won 34- 10 Michael irvan scale of 1 to 10 how
Impressive was Lamar I I put it at a 8.8 skip right around 8.8 889 I’ll give him that let me tell you why I say that and why this game was so important for Lamar you know Lamar’s gone into the last two playoff games and he scored
Less points than he did in this playoff game why is that so in Port Michael we’ve talked about how limited that offense was prior to the offense they had been running uh with Lamar Jackson and we talked about how limited that offense was and and now you start saying
Oh they put up 34 points against a very good Texans defense a very good Texans coaching Deo Ryan the last couple times they came they put up three points here 720 points there so so you see now this solidifies this offense Lamar Jackson went into the playoffs and he got
Knocked out of the playoffs because he was more onedimensional onedimensional and they say let’s stack the line of scrimmage and stop him we talked about Lamar Jackson when are you going to graduate take that next level of passing and passing the football so you can go deeper you can go farther go
Get you an offensive coordinator get some players around him and let’s use use his arm a little bit more they did that and it produce what they needed to produce I thought it was a perfect game for what this new offense is Lamar sat in the pocket and waited and waited and
Waited till the last minute and then he would shoot out of there and be the most dangerous dude you ever see with a football cuz he was shooting out of there and it was an incredible game through two touch Downs ran for two touchdowns a there’s no other player
That ever did that two for two touchdowns ran for two two touchdowns had over a 100 yards rushing with 100 plus passer rating not in the history of the game and speaking of the history of this game this is the new history I think of the game for the quarterback
Position Lamar Jackson he’s writing the history right now as we move forward when you see guys like Josh Allen who’s putting up 32 pass touchdowns and 16 Rush touchdowns this is where this NFL is going if your quarterback can’t give me those hidden yards I don’t know if
You could play quarterback in this league Lamar Jackson showed up and played and showed why he’s the MVP of this season yeah I I I think he played uh probably his most impressive playoff game for sure um I give him a 10 out of 10 for that performance uh you know
Especially the way they struggled in the first half they struggled I think he had 23 net passing yards at the half I they were winning by one point they went into the to the halftime they went to the locker room make great adjustments he comes out throws it for another one 120
He throw he runs for another 50 60 yards couple touchdowns and he just dominated and controlled the game their defense played really well contained that offense they they didn’t even allow him a touchdown outside of that special team’s touchdown that punt return so you
Got to give him a lot of credit for what he was able to do in this playoff game he he made accurate passes he did it from the pocket he did it with his legs he took what the defense gave him he didn’t let anybody else dictate The
Narrative you know you hear him he’s a running quarterback and then you sometimes get to the point where you want to just totally dispel that and I’m just going to sit in the pocket and show them I could do this he said no I’m doing whatever it takes to win this game
I’m going to run it I’m going to throw it I’m going to score it we’re going to win and that was that was really impressive yeah you know before before you go skip one thing that I thought was fascinating the the touch down Nelson agel he could have ran that touchdown in
He shot that ball out he could have easily ran that ball in but but he shot it out that I thought that was saying I’m passing first another thing that I thought I’m a Passer First another thing I thought was very interesting coming out of that locker room at halftime and
They talked about at the game to a player everybody talked about Lamar Jackson address are undressed that offense about the way they were performing and he said listen that defense is playing great I thought that was fascinating we talked about is he in or is he out because they were treating
Him kind of out with that with his contract now he gets the contract and he is absolutely all the way in I saw him one time get on one of the lineman like come on man get you know he got on them later on after they scor him in that Lin
Was in the end zone jamming together I said boy okay that is a different Lamar right there yeah Michael Lamar said after the game he would share his halftime remarks except they were inappropriate for a media session because the words were not pretty and they didn’t need to be pretty
So I appreciate how high you guys went on this scale of 1 to 10 I I’m going to go to a 20 on this scale I’m going to shatter the scale because this second half was huge you’re up against as hot and and as as talented a rookie quarterback is I
Have ever seen CJ strad was off the the the charts this year with with what he pulled off and he he got his legs Underneath Him late in the first half and it felt like it was going to be a re live football game in the second half
And to LaMar’s credit he read the Riot Act to his team at halftime and then he came out in the second half and it was like a microcosm of the year he took the game over with his arm and his legs and to Richard’s point in the second half he
Goes nine of 11 for for just a 100 yards so it’s not Gody stats but they’re all effective passes they’re impactful passes two of them touchdown passes and then with his legs he runs for another as Richard pointed out 50 yards he had five carries for 50 yards and two more touchdowns in
The second half alone as they took the game over and as you guys know the narrative on Lamar is yeah but he’s one and three in the postseason so he’s got two MVPs if we effectively giving him this year’s MVP and what well at halftime it was and what again at the
Highest level where the pressure on him was just staggering to me because you’re up against a hot young well- coached team that didn’t know any better and if if Lamar had lost that game you you know what we’d be talking about right now we probably would have led the show with it
You know what’s up with Lamar and instead he did look like the MVP in the second half without Sensational spectacular stats just making all the right plays at the right time to be the driving force of araven team that in the second half just shut CJ down he was
Having a hard time reading seeing feeling and because they got four guys who can get pressure they were getting some serious heat on CJ that I I think ultimately they’ll be able to get on Patrick Mahomes this coming Sunday Richard yeah yeah I agree I I think I think this defense deserves a
Ton of credit for for everything you just said about how hot CJ’s trout was um Bobby Slow getting head coaching interviews because of how well this offense has performed and they held them out of the end zone the entire game um they they limited their big plays you
Know this this offense has been known to be really explosive they didn’t allow any of that they hit him um they stopped the Run they were effective they deserve a ton of credit as well yeah and and you know last week they were talking about if you look at it Baltimore is still
Going to get better they were talking about Mark Andrews possibly playing last week and they told him okay take one more week I say they were like we don’t know what we could play you because that kid likely is doing pretty good unlikely he is I agree I agree you see that
Touchdown that he called it was like snatched it he just snatched it over that dude’s head like give me this touch and that’s a good corner right there that was Ste right I was like whoa that’s a that’s a pretty good Corner playing you hey Mark you you sure your
Legs not one more one more another you know what I want to talk about Earth what’s that because this offseason like like you know time makes you forget sometimes it makes you forget and and lose sight but you remember when the Ravens were and Lamar were working out
The contract details every all the speculation but there were so many teams out there that just said nope we out we out we out how many of those teams are sitting at home right now watching I got I got to guarantee all of them I got to
Guarantee all of them so you had you had at Arthur Blank in the in the the Atlanta Falcons and what they have at quarterback saying hey did nope we don’t want him yeah mind blowing mindblowing and no nobody they’re not getting enough criticism for that they’re not nobody
We’re not talking about that enough about how many teams saw this quarterback that was available and whether you got to give two first rounders or whatever you got to do people been traded More For Less and they said hey we are out on this guy because we don’t think whatever you
Think of him but now he’s in the AFC Championship Game the same year that you could have had right and and and what they what they did was put fuel in the tank of Lamar Jackson in that situation now the reality is they were probably trying to save and hold the company line
And all this ski andur you know we’re not let anybody dictate that we give out our guaranteed contracts so so so then the rhetoric became there’s no team interested in Lamar Jackson like just it that makes no sense at all say that makes no sense you know and and
Now oh my God you look at teams like like you just mentioned Atlanta FC if they had Lamar Jackson right now with that young Talent so it’s that was that that was a crazy crazy thing that went on but I love that he the last laugh
Yeah I must say so even the Ravens were incisive about giving Lamar’s Money I thought they dragged him through the mud basically and it really hurt him last year it it hurt him deep down because he loves that organization and it got so ugly last year because he just couldn’t figure out
Why they were treating him like that after all he had given to them and they finally got through it it should have happened a long time before that once they finally got through it then to Michael’s Point finally Lamar was able to recommit to the Ravens by and soul and and now he
Is the Ravens to me but but no question and it it goes back to they they should have never put him through that this is your franchise quter this is a guy that’s given everything done things the right way you should have he should have
Never come to the down to the wire of of having to deal with all this but it it goes to to back to the the the gripes that you heard he’s injury-prone he’s a running quarterback he didn’t miss a game skip he didn’t miss one didn’t miss
One game I mean he he got beat up last year he had some issues right but but but they had said the last couple years he had missed 10 games and and so that was what people were saying he’s injury PR but I don’t hear that same rhetoric
About Joe burrow for for example you know Joe has missed some games and missed finished some season and and I don’t hear that same rhetoric when it was time to get his money that oh man you know St play or anything like that so I it just leads to so many questions
About how people see Lamar Jackson in this league and why they see him that way and and listen when I listen to lar right now you know let’s be real Lamar sounds sounds different he sounds like he’s been working with someone I’m sure from what I understood they’ve always
Wanted Lamar to you know to to to dig in and be more of that that that quarterback that they can promote and push out there and and from what I see he he’s starting to really work on how he interviews and everything it really looks like he’s bought all the way in
Because they’ve given him the team but but even even talking about them not buying into him prior to I need them to raise their hand on their own missteps there that it was them that took this long to get him the kind of help that he
Needs to do what he’s doing right now now they gave him a system remember it was Mark Andrews was his primary he plays inside out he was throwing those balls Mark Andrews in Middlefield now that’s Z Jones Z Jones is one of the best after the catch Rec receiver he had
In the National Football League that guy Isaiah likely right there he has more yards after the catch than almost anybody in the National Football League so they’ve taken what they’ve done with Mark Andrews and put some explosiveness to it and made a difference yeah so can we all agree that
Lamar is now a passing quarterback who can just gut you with his legs when necessary right when when it’s there he will take it is pass first quarterback he’s just a playmaker playmaker I mean he can he can do it all he don’t limit
Him you know he can do he can do things that only a few people on this Earth can do period so yeah you can throw and look is his throwing motion a little unconventional I’ll give you that but he he flicks darts like he he just flicks
It and and he’s so accurate with it that it is lethal it it doesn’t look like Tom Brady or Bon Manning it just works at the highest MVP level that’s all I know yeah it gets there it jumps off his hands and it gets there yeah it is accurate and that’s all
In the end that matters okay Baker Mayfield was pretty accurate yesterday at Detroit but not quite accurate enough in the very Bitter End although Mike Evans said after the game he called Baker criminally underrated after the Bucks gave the Lions all they wanted we break it down Next Lions 31 bucks 23 in Detroit yesterday I went with the Bucks in an upset I was wrong but but how wrong kesan exactly how impressive were the Lions yesterday I think they were impressive they were in control of the entire game skip okay they had a 14-point league going into the fourth
Quarter the big number that I always look for as you know is the turnovers Baker Mayfield had two interceptions to zero for jarro G and and if that’s the case you’re going to win a whole lot of games they rush for the football collectively as a group over a 100 yards
The Detroit rushing game was there they didn’t get 175 but it was it was about 120 which was a good number to have going along with Jared G being able to stay stabiliz things in the play action pass game and not turn the football over at all the the scratching thing and
Mindboggling to me out of all the situations in the games this weekend other than the kickers missing field goals is Tod BS really good friend of mine been doing toe bowls all the way from our jet days and I coaching me in Dallas and and all those sort of things
Why in the hell would you go for two I don’t know thank you well I I I I’m like why I’m sitting there and I’m saying to my to text him so bad but I knew he wasn’t going to answer in the middle of the game and be like yo dude what are
You doing you’re chasing 437 left we got four and a half minutes left in the game why four and a four and a half minutes left in the game you take you kick the pat there now seven you don’t get it it’s eight that means you got to score
Twice okay to just tie it up which didn’t I I don’t know was it a call sheet thing yeah it it’s the analytics you have more OPP you have two chances at going for two so they tell you there go for two so if you come back get the touchdown now
You’re kicking the exra point to win the game and if you don’t if you come back let me ask you something Michael let me ask you something I I I understand I’m just telling you with Jimmy Johnson had done that I just would Jimmy Johnson had done that
No after Coach Johnson after coach so put the analytics out I’m with you we just scored a touchdown kick the P kick the P Now by seven with four plus minutes to go you get a stop you go back down you score you kick the p and tie it
Up I’m I’m with you because there’s something that there’s something too when you’re when you’re down and and and you’re looking at that clock and you say hey we’re down seven points or if we’re down eight points that’s a long ride you know what I mean you like we’re
Down one drive and and Mally that that’s a harder thing to click so that’s why and that’s the thing I think coaches Miss sometimes like okay I understand what analytics say but if we come all the way back I want my players to see we are literally a touchdown away we kick
This right here that’s going to go back to what I told y’all hope dick takes effort like man we here now all we need isown it’ll give you more effort that’s why I I don’t I don’t like when they do things like that but listen Jared golf
Threw the ball 43 times yes 43 times and did not turn the ball over I love this little Love Fest thing they have with Jered G you know and and he he talked about them chanting his name after getting you know basically kicked out of
La now you go to Detroit and and and I mean they love you in Detroit yeah when I interviewed St Brown he told me he said man he said he said man I was a fourth round draft pick you know he remembers everybody that got drafted before him everybody that got drafted
Before him he said Jared G called him he said as bad as I was feeling I couldn’t believe that he called me on draft day he said man I’m looking forward to get to working with you we’re going to have a great career together he said soon as
They got together they started taking off that was a game played perfectly for Detroit Tampa gave up the third most yards to tight end leap Porter did what he did and then they gave up the second most yards to slot receivers and and St Brown did what he did I knew they would
Lose that game next week is going to be a little more difficult for Detroit and we’ll talk I would say I would say kesan allow me quickly to go back to the two-point conversion because I want to say there’s this thing in football that you guys know way better than I do it’s
Called momentum yes you lose it the throw that Baker made if we could see the touchdown throw to Mike Evans that set up the two-point play if we could see the setup throw it it was so good it was so Baker it was so Mike Evans beautiful tast it’s just it’s just
Beautiful it it it do you know what that did do you know how that lifted the sideline of the Bucks in that that craze Stadium up in Detroit yes you you have to cach the momentum you have to add the exclamation point on it with the p
Because it feels so different to be down seven as opposed to down eight so then he goes right back to Mike Evans which is fine trying to throw the fade to him and I did not think it was pass interference it just it it it was well
Covered I I’m going to give the kid it’s not pass interference cuz Mike Evans didn’t give me enough if Mike Evans Drive back through here and try to come at this ball did fight back for the ball it f get it slows down like he’s trying
To get and the guy runs him over that’s a flag they got to throw that flag he almost caught it on his back right here he had it for a second on his back for a second yeah I just needed the effort this took this took skip to your point a
Lot of momentum away from them now you talk about Jared go throwing 40 43 times uh Michael 43 times in no interceptions right I hate to belabor to point and continue to go back at it but if you stop them Pat they get the ball back
With four minutes to go they’re in their 4minute offense either they’re going to run it three straight times and get nothing or eventually they’re going to throw it it’s going to be a clock stoppage because of an incomplete or you may get a gift from Jared G he’s been
Known at certain situations to do things Dallas you know it’s been known that’s all I’m saying you know now I bet you Tod BS in them analytics he going to throw that damn stuff in the trash yeah I agree okay speaking of Jared G throwing interceptions again I’m a big Baker fan
I can’t help myself I thought he just threw the hell out of it yesterday I’ve never seen him deal any better than he was dealing yesterday so he needed one break early in that game and and Jared gof gave him one he threw a present to
Jamal Dean in the end zone if we could see the early throw it’s a second goal from the three and this is 913 left in the first quarter and he throws it to Jamal Dean and I I just I listen do do you know how speaking of momentum do you
Know how big it would have been to the visiting team if you cancel all seven points out if you just give them none you got the ball at the 20 yd line because Jamal Dean caught the football I I don’t how do you it’s just one of
Those plays you either make it or you go home and they went home well he play DB for a reason can’t catch right boy okay well there you go all right and he got hurt and was out of the game he come out that end that could have been a Pick 6 100
Yards okay now I got to get both of your responses on this both of your breakdowns I love Mike Evans occasionally he drops a ball he dropped a touchdown pass from Baker against Philadelphia on Monday night this early throw that got tipped up into an interception I thought he just he needed
To get his hands up a little quicker and at least control the ball if he’s going to not catch it not catch it in front of you as opposed to tipping it up into the sky where CJ Gardner Johnson can Corral it if we could see the throat yeah but
As great as great as great as Mike is when you see color on thems when you see color on is that what it was you see color right the linebacker right there you not used to working the middle of the field like that so you know he looking he see color
So it’s called a sneaky Peak a little bit there he he trying to protect himself and catch the football you know and Mike Mike IR is playmaker tell y’all about that and he has to bring that ball down I’m want to catch this ball in my
Chest right here cuz you are right cuz oh yeah Hey listen those guys are looking to take him out and he knows that and that’s why you see the crunch that comes together that ball goes up in there that’s exact L what we’re talking about all of those people are around him
So Baker I I’m going to wait need Baker to put that on him put it put it a little bit lower toward the stomach and allow him to go down and protect himself I’ll buy that but even though even though it was a little high you still
Got to go in there and get it because it’s the playoffs you go ahead and you sacrifice at least one rib for that catch at least one rib okay okay so all year long I wondered and I Fred and I sweated over the the fact that they were
Sweating Mike Evans on his contract they’re allowing him to play it out hit the free agent market after this year and it always gave me a little cause to pause because I would think well is Mike’s heart really going to be in this if they’re not going to pay him and
After that early throw I thought oh my God has he just lost a little Focus here does he not really care that much about this game but then he shut my mouth real quick cuz he came back and he had a game that throw who this is 65 this 65 going
Down on a football like this I can’t even tell y’all how difficult and how exceptional that is right there the focus like he has right here to come down and make that place incredible and he had to go down like that because the trajectory of the football changed once
It started to come down from flight and now as he’s trying to locate it in the liks and all of those sort of things skip that ball started dying on him but he had the the wear and the witch to know okay I got to slide into this
Because if I stand straight up I’m never going to be able to get to it so let me get down on the ground so the irony after the game was Mike Evans said Baker Mayfield is criminally underrated I can say the same thing for Mike Evans I think he’s criminally underrated would
You guys agree yeah I don’t know to be honest with you I don’t know why people think that he’s not rated cuz he’s rated in my book as one of the top dudes of the league 10 straight years 10,000 Plus a, yard every single season despite having a number of different
Quarterbacks thring the football I mean what else if the Bucks don’t signning back then it’s their loss in somebody else’s game and and and especially this guy because let me tell you the value of a Mike Evans especially in this system where everybody’s trying to design stuff
To beat you uh scheme on scheme Mike Evans gives you that one guy that says I don’t need that it all breaks down I up in the air to him I I’ve been screaming Dallas needs one of these dudes that’ll go up and get any pass anywhere anytime
I keep calling I call them an area code receiver they going to catch everything in the area code doall to get him now I I was just throwing that throwing needs a rece so you want them to pay him 25 to 30 million and see they
Land 30 to 35 that’s what you’re asking for something like that whatever it need to get them both for you Jer I ain’t my money I need a t on the field hey hey Kean does Mike Evans remind you of you at all bigger taller no no he has better
He has better down the field awareness than I did for because I played everywhere and whatever shots I got it was a prayer in the sky I had to catch it because I might not get another one based on the offenses but he’s he’s a tree there’s no question I was a tree
But I played inside outside I moved around I mean a little bit little bit different but but I understand where you’re going at yeah but a big guy that a big guy that can transition you have big guys that can’t transition but he can transition got a he’s a much better
Down the field home run hitter than I was there’s no question about it right right and but but I’m talking about transition in and out of cuts a lot of time tall guys tall guys they can’t break down and they can’t break down and come in and out of cuts real fast
Remember now we have long strides I had one thing I had to do I had to put a beep on my head and cut down my strides because I was running with long strides what why is that so important Michael as a wide receiver in order to make Cuts
You need ground contact I can’t be flying like this so you have to beep you out to cut down those strides to go in out of cut he’s so good at yeah he and that’s the thing with me skip is I was big but I played small when I needed to
In short areas I had great short area quickness and awareness and awareness too all right cuz the new is H one other quick throw I just got to show this for my man Baker but he threw an out route to Kate utton if we could see this throw
It was a 27 yard ball the best ball he threw all day I thought Ju Just to say baker made some money yesterday that that’s not it no that wasn’t it there there’s another one um not sure this is I think we we don’t have the right one
This isn’t the right one anyway I’m with you on that skip he did Skip and and some of those you remember when he was getting ready to throw and somebody hit him and he still came out and made a play it was like I said this this I said
Baker loves this it looks like he’s getting beat tattered up and he’s in that fight C he certainly made some money yesterday they would be foolish they would be foolish skip if they did not resign him now I’m not saying and we had this conversation earlier uh I think
In the month or so about what they should do with Baker I’m not saying it’s a six-year deal what I am saying it’s an opportunity for them to put him where he needs to be financially for the next several years until he either Flames out or they figure it out at the quarterback
Position I’m not bringing Baker back if I’m not bringing Michael back Mike Evans back because this is the best receiver Baker ever had this is the biggest most this the most Dependable guy he’s ever had if I’m not bringing him back then then I got to discuss this thing so then
That means you’re starting all over then and that’s what I don’t want to do that’s why I I agree with you I think should do a twoyear deal with Baker and make sure they keep Mike Evans let him finish his career for the next two or three years there tied him
Together okay so my conclusion to what I watched yesterday was congratulations to the Lions but you get kind of a booby prize because now you got to go to San Francisco would you guys agree that it’s going to be rough for Detroit as San I’m not going to agree right I’m not you
Like them I’m not going to agree because I don’t know what it’s going look I thought that Green Bay would go into Dallas and the Young Guns would come out of there and be like oh we did well well guess what they was on the flight to San
Francisco I also thought that Green Bay would going to San Francisco and San Francisco would probably beat him up pretty badly well they win that game they should have won that game in many different ways so I’m not going just all of a sudden because San Francisco has
Been at the top of everybody’s uh uh charts all season that this Detroit team is just going to lay down because they going into San Francisco I can’t call it like that and I talk about this all the time it’s about matchups I just talked about this
This is a more difficult matchup for the Detroit Lions but I will say this this I give you out all the teams in the NFC that could have gone up against the 49ers this is the most physical team that they will face the 49ers Detroit Lines probably the toughest and most
Physical team outside of the 49ers in the NFC and by the way they are the spitting image of their coach Dan Campbell wouldn’t you agree and you guys both know him Kean played with yeah and and over the last I over the last month of the Season meaning into into these
Playoffs or whatnot I don’t count the last game of the year but if you go back and you look at what Baltimore was able to do in San Francisco San Francisco it hasn’t been smooth selling and we don’t know what’s going to happen with Debo Samuel in his shoulder uh come Sunday
Obviously we got a whole week but you don’t know you just don’t know all right up next we got to talk about the other championship game the one in Baltimore I’m going Lamar over Mahomes who you got we do it next who you got mer no mercy no mercy
AFC Championship game Patrick Mahomes at Lamar Jackson two MVPs for one two MVPs for the other Ravens favored by three and a half at Baltimore Richard which way are you leaning early in the week early in the week skip I I’m leaning towards the reigning Super Bowl champions they I you
Got to you got to go through the Kings to beat beat the Kings and right now they’re the reigning and I and honestly I would have counted them out early in the season earlier in the year I would have been like hey they don’t got the
Kind of team they need to win a Super Bowl this year they’re not able to do it even though this is the best defense that Patrick Mahomes has had in his entire career him going to a sixth straight AFC Championship game it was impressive what they were
Able to do in Buffalo last night and their defense second in points allowed thirds and Y third and yards allowed fourth in yards allow per play um I you know obviously Baltimore’s defense is number one in all these categories number one in sacks number one in points allowed per game but Kansas City’s
Defense isn’t that far off and again I just get I have a hard time betting against Patrick Mahomes it it it I have a hard time you know even when the chips are against you he doesn’t have the best team he didn’t have the best team against Buffalo I I don’t think their
Offense is better than Buffalo he’s just going to find a way to win he’s going to find a way to get the job done and he is consistent L done that do I think that Baltimore’s defense and them are are able going to be able to get more
Pressure on him no question about it but I think this is going to be a dog fight that comes down to the last drive and if Patrick Mahomes has the ball and they’re down two three points it’s going to be another one of those Telltale stories where you’re sitting there like he he’s
Done it again you know it’s hard to go against Patrick Mahomes skip there’s no question about it I mean he’s obviously right before our eyes this is what his sixth AFC Championship gun he’s only been in the league seven years he’s been in six AFC Championship Games since
Taking over from Alex Smith as a starter so that’s hard to go against right but I’mma be the one that goes against Patrick Mahomes in this situation because at some point it stops for everybody right it stop it stopped at once upon a time for Tom Brady then he
Went on another role but it’s G to stop you’re going to eventually lose a game that you think oh well he’s a better quarterback in a better situation and when I look at the the the guy that you gave an MVP to at the top here skip in
Lamar Jackson because you know you gave him one you said two for Patrick Mahomes two for Lamar although Lamar hadn’t officially gotten it yet you gave him one just like I gave him one Richard’s giving it to somebody else clearly and when you look at this guy and you say
Well statistically in the first half they struggled they just the Houston whatever they they try to figure it out they didn’t do that in the second half he didn’t have Gody passing numbers but that’s okay when you account for 200 plus yards you don’t turn the football
Over and you got four touchdowns and if I told you that Patrick Mahomes threw for 254 touchdowns and zero interceptions you wouldn’t say a word you’d be like oh man that’s a really great quarterback well we should be saying the same thing about Lamar Jackson just because he does it on the
Ground and in the air the total yards are the same and I think that that is key plus with at home they’re going to be getting help back with Mark Andrews assuming he’s coming back he didn’t playing this last game although he practiced all week long it was so trying
So bad but they said hey let’s hold him over for another week and then maybe Marlon humph get back into the mix so they getting some help they getting some help potentially for Sunday for Patrick Mahomes and Company Patrick Mahomes went on the road to Buffalo and won that
Football game I think it’s going to be a little more difficult is is as great as Buffalo uh uh was talking about their fan base and the stadium and the crowd noise Baltimore is so difficult to playing because the fans are on top of you and that Stadium gets crazy loud
Everybody gives a 12th man in Seattle the credit because it’s really loud and they got the aluminum benches but I tell you right now in Baltimore it’s going to be a tough place to play although they play at home in Kansas City Kansas City is a home field this is not home field
The noise level is going to go against you and when you’re out there trying to bark signals and things of that nature so here’s what I would do if I’m the defense of the Mike McDonald first thing I’m going to do is I’m going push to
Rased rice at times and I’m going double Travis Kelce the rest of them dudes if they beat me then they beat me but I’m not letting them two in the passing game do anything at all and I’m going try to thump Pacho as early and often as
Possible and disrupt his timing in the Run game and then I walk away with a W okay so I’m definitely going Lamar I I think this won’t even be that close I I’m going to go 10 or more points I was going to do the same but I was waiting
To give out the score all right so here’s my point back to Richard and I I do respect everything you said about Mahomes obviously six AFC championship games but none yet on the road did win at Buffalo but to me in all the years I spent going to Buffalo and
The years I spent going to Baltimore to kean’s point Baltimore’s just louder I I don’t know what it is about that Stadium but but it just rattles your brain it gets so loud in there it it’s I know Richard played obviously in Seattle where they just louder off the charts
Yeah but but this is up there with that and and it’s something about the tightness and closeness of it that I can’t explain it just feels like you’re overwhelmed by by the noise and the emotion of those fans for that team okay now on the degree of difficulty scale
Buffalo versus Baltimore last night because the decimation suffered by the Buffalo defense for Patrick his degree of difficulty was about a three to me this is going up to about a nine on the 1 to 10 scale of degree of difficulty of the defense you’re facing because this
Is a whole different Beast you’re going up against in schemes in in creativity in Savvy in strategic sort of Mind Games that they play on you and in pass rush cuz have a fourman rush that that can get home fairly consistently in ways that Buffalo didn’t get home last night
It surprised me and I give Kansas City’s line High marks because they protected him pretty well they they did flush him once where he he bolted up the through the middle of the the rush and made a really nice throw to Lazard he’s highly capable of doing that but to me this is
Going to be a whole another level of difficulty for Patrick at Baltimore given the noise and the defense and the pass rush you’re up against your response Rich you you think about it uh Rich yeah you got rwan Smith Javon Clowny Patrick Queen and Company and not just the front seven but
When they bring extra pressure that that there that extra pressure man it’s going to be it’s going to be something to think about I I agree I they and you you forgot Kyle Hamilton who Hamilton and and they deserve all the credit in the world they’ve had one of the best
Seasons in recent memory for a defense and uh Mike McDonald deserves a ton of credit for the creativity that he’s shown with this defense and their fronts and their disguises and things like that but spags on the other side for Kansas City Chiefs deserves a ton of credit as
Well and he’s done done some really cool things with lerus sne uh obviously they got Playmakers in the middle they have a lot of guys that can get the job done too I just think I just think Patrick Mahomes is T tough to bet against I I
Give it is all in the world it’s just hard to bet against Patrick Mahomes especially in the playoffs there’s only been two guys to send him home in the hisory in his time Joe burrow and and Tom Tom Brady those are the only two who have ever sent him home from the
Playoffs with a loss and so I don’t see either of those lining up against him could could we add Lamar Jackson to that list we definitely could he has the skill set he has the the offense Todd mkin and what they’ve been able to do they definitely are capable of beating
The Kansas City Chiefs but they’re the reigning Super Bowl champions for a re reason and and in these playoffs you talk about Andy Reid and some of the schemes that he’s able to draw up sometimes you walk into a situation where you’re like there’s no way Andy Reid is going to draw something
Up he don’t got the players he he doesn’t have the receivers this year he doesn’t and you look up and they somehow are back in the AFC Championship Game this kid has never not been to a AFC Championship Game does he always win him no but he he’s always there and this is
The first time that it’s not in uh in Arrowhead Stadium but I just don’t see the the elements being a big factor I don’t know if the the home away is going to be a big factor in this honestly it’s the cold isn’t going to change anything
They play in Kansas City so that’s not going to factor in the noise possibly could but but it’s that other dude on the other side though man no question number eight you talk about Skip Richard talks about don’t bet against Patrick Mahomes they’ve been people been betting against Lamar Jackson forever they’ve
Been betting against him forever the only thing he’s getting ready to do is win a second MVP and finally getting his team in short order to an AFC Championship game at home they literally have been betting against him since he got drafted Oh you should move the receiver or try another position they’ve
Been betting against this man and so you think that that second half that halftime speech or whatever it was that he gave his team didn’t resonate in the second half and you don’t think that that’s going to resonate into this AFC Championship game we one game away four
Quarters away from being in Las Vegas in two weeks oh I I can’t can’t bet against Patrick Mahomes on a consistent basis cuz I’m no damn fool but I’m not getting ready to bet on Lamar Jackson not not right now not going to do it and and I’m
Not mad at you for doing it he’s had an unbelievable season I just don’t in the playoffs it has to be shown consistently and M holes has shown it consistently we haven’t seen the consistency you want to see from from Lamar yet he played fantastic this last week but he got to
Do it again and he got to do it again now if if the same thing was true about P so you don’t think so you don’t think he could you don’t think he could duplicate the same if not close to the success that he had this past week against the
Texans against the Kansas City Chiefs so you betting against him completely no I’m saying he he possibly could I’m just saying that may not be enough this week that that same consistency may not be enough the Patrick Mahomes you can’t have a bad half and then second half
Come back and think oh it’s gonna like these are dog fights that’s what Josh Allen found out like you get into a situation where he it’s a possession possession possession you mess up one possession that’s game and so this is just going to be a different beat but he
Got a better defense he got a better defense than Josh Allen man so Richard here’s the here’s the huge point about this game Pacho has worked wonders for Andy and Patrick this year because he’s the hardest running back in pro football right now I don’t think he’s going to
Get his 100 he got almost 100 last night I’ll bet he can’t get more than 50 against this defense and if he can’t Patrick’s going to be in trouble I I would take that b I’d take a dinner on that that he gets more than 50 Rush
Yards yes sir yes sir okay I’ll take it right now I will take it thank you 50 and finally W get 50 50 yards he might be able to get 50 he possibly could get 50 runs too hard not to get 50 yeah yeah he probably could get 50 they fall
Behind yeah we’ll see about that remember what you guys thought about Zeke oh but then come on stop this was it was more about you than it was about Zeke anything to to watch you cry anything anything but I watched you cry because I did this yeah but I
Didn’t cry you you beat a New England never mind man we not cuz this will go on for another 10 minutes with you man beat New England got a new damn coach stop okay the point of this was this discussion was before the season started kesan
Picked the Ravens to get to the Super Bowl I picked the Ravens to win wi the Super Bowl so I’m looking pretty good and I think Lamar will prevail over well I’m pick I’m picking them to win the reason I didn’t pick him to win is because I picked New Orleans but that’s
About blood ticking and water okay that’s all that was but now New Orleans is gone I’m picking the Ravens to win it all even though I picked them to get there who did I pick I pick Kansas City and and proba San Francisco nor and you probably picked all three Seattle Tampa
And San Francisco knowing San Francisco probably you probably picked all three to sh all right in a moment we discuss this we debate this so the Lions I don’t think can beat the 49ers but Brock py can he can beat the 49ers so we’ll we’ll get into that in a moment Oh here was Dan Campbell’s speech to his team after yesterday’s win against the Bucks that now sends the 49ers uh sends them to the 49ers for Sunday’s NFC Championship game here’s here’s the sock it’s another hot team that we knocked off it’s the next H team that you knock
Off you know how hard it is to win in this league in the playoffs do you understand what you’re doing right now what we’re capable of that’s two all right that’s two we got two to go with a Buy in the middle a bu in the
Middle 49ers are favored by 6 and a half Sunday Richard which way are you leaning on this one uh I’m leaning the San Francisco 49ers win this football game uh simply because I I just don’t know if this Detroit defense is going to be able to stand up they’re they’re 23rd and
Points allowed per game they’re 22nd in yards they’re 31st in pass yards allowed per game they just 28th in yards allowed per play they’re just a defense that gives up a lot of plays K Shanahan will draw up some really cool plays and then if you just turn it to the other side
You turn to the defense um their defense is obviously Elite but not only that they have a ton of experience with jarro go they played him a bunch and and we can talk about McVey versus Shanahan in the records well Jared G was a part of a
Lot of those games that they lost I think they’re only win was the NFC championship game where jisy tart dropped the interception uh but but they know Jared G and they know his Tendencies they know hey if they get pressure on him they hit him they hit
Him they hit him and they definitely will hit him this game that he turns into a different player and I think that’s what their plan will be I think Steve wils will will plan to put a lot of pressure on Jared G force him into bad situations and then on the other
Side they do stop the run well on defense the Detroit Lions do stop the run well that’s one area that they have been strong but I don’t think they have enough defensively to consistently stop this San Francisco 49ers offense and and I think it it I think it handles and and and we
Deal with a lot what goes on between and with Debo Samuel here and I’m talking about from an attitude standpoint because that’s what he he he he brings that it’s so funny because I listened to Brock pry talk about it one time he said you know I just feel more comfortable
With number 19 in the Huddle when I look at him I know everything is going to be okay you know so so e if I’m saying friend I whether he’s playing or not and I I did talk with him the other night right after he got hurt he he text me
And FaceTime and we talked a little bit and and he is he said his arm said he say he’s better cuz he told me and it’s just hope I’m not doing he see he said last time he couldn’t raise his arm this time he said I don’t feel this it’s
Worse because I can raise my arm and I’m good so you know he was trying to get back on the football field he was like do you know man what’s that like when you sitting there watching your players watching your team and you can’t do anything I was like know commissioner
Gave me a five game vacation one time I know what’s that’s like I ain’t want it he just gave it to me you know so I do know what’s that what they’re like I think they got to have him in his energy no matter what because Detroit can slow
Down the Run Detroit can slow down Detroit can slow down that run and let’s put this thing on Brock p and then Detroit can also run the ball if you can go right now San Francisco like when you get 100 yards to three and four if you
Can rush for 100 yards against San Francisco if you can slow down their Rush maybe make B Pur turn a few balls over I right now got San Francisco winning this game but as I said I think this the most physical team in the NFC that they will go up against and Dan
Campell will have them ready for this physical contest H so Michael real quick on Debo it’s his shoulder right do do you know exactly what’s the issue yeah I knew they were going to get he he said they were going to get uh the MRI you know the next day and and and
Look at it extensively man but but he his spirits were up and he was saying he feels a lot better because he had already had an issue with that shoulder and he said it’s nothing like before but but even I I they can even still beat Detroit
Without Debo Samuel I just need you still bring him out there let him walk out with Trent in the music because that’s the mindset for this whole team you know and you put and and even if you don’t play then you can still win this
Game but you’ll need him in a Super Bowl you will not win that without yeah so I liked all of Richard’s points I agree with everything Richard said to the point that this could be the classic Cinderella Story coming out of Detroit that turns back into a pumpkin comes
Crashing down right before your very eyes in the NFC championship game because the defense just isn’t good enough to stand up to the onslaught that can be the 49ers offense especially on its home turf now I don’t know what the weather long I didn’t even look at the
Long term is it going to rain again and Richard back to you I I don’t know if Brock was having a hard time throwing a wet football as Michael will tell you Troy just could not throw a wet football he could he he hated it cuz he gripped
The ball in the end of the he didn’t even have his fingers on the laces so it the pig skin would literally slip out of his hands when it got too wet so I don’t know if Brock was struggling with the wet football because it was driving
Rainstorm it looked like in the last drive and he figured it out I don’t know maybe he was just having a bad night for a while and just couldn’t come you know couldn’t get his rhythm but to me if he has his rhythm he he will pick this defense to
Pieces yeah I agree I agree I he struggles in the rain them as a team they just struggle in the rain you know we can go back to Chicago last year against Justin Fields when they lost 19 to10 whenever they have conditions like that it’s a tough game and they usually
Lose it I mean they lost to Cleveland this year in the rain where you know they missed the field goal at the end your favorite thing kicker at the end for the game but um but I think I think that’s right I think the only chance
They have of losing this game is just like you said before alluded to before we went to the break is if Brock loses this game and and Brock turning the ball over is the only way they lose this game that’s the only way they’ve lost this season is when he has turnovers multiple
Turnovers interceptions those games he does lose but when he does not turn the ball over and they’re efficient they usually walk out with a win you remember yeah so Richard if if you do scale a one to 10 on the trust Factor where where are you on Brock right now in your trust
Of him I I got to trust him I trust him as much as anybody in the playoffs outside of Patrick Mahomes uh because he’s three and one in the playoff SK we we we give these playoff records for everybody else but then for some reason for Brock they don’t give him every game
In the playoffs in which he’s played he’s started and he’s finished he’s won and so I just don’t understand and and we talk about him it’s what I don’t understand about the Brock py narrative is that they hold him to a high Hall of Fame standard they say hey when he
Doesn’t play well he doesn’t play up to Tom Brady standard or the best in the world standard then they say see this is it we told you he wasn’t good but then when he plays well then you say it’s just because of the weapons around him
So he can’t win so he could he can have a perfect passer rating like he did earlier this season and all people will say is it’s the weapons around him this week he lost his best weapon and Debo Samuel and we know how the season’s Gone
Without him and all he did was proceed to have a game-winning drive and score a touchdown to take his team to the next round and then we’re everybody still saying there talking about how terrible he played I just don’t understand that it’s like you give him seventh round
Credit but have Hall of Fame expectations for him and and Hall of Fame standard that you hold him to but the kid can’t win yeah yeah it but go Michael yeah yeah listen Brock pie is a talented and gifted quarterback what we do what we see when people are talking about Brock
System this and that system that you guys see it I just talked about it you know we just saw Josh Allen when he couldn’t step in to that throw miss that guy in the end zone but we also saw a Jordan love laying back flicking balls Brock doesn’t have that that’s what
Everybody keeps saying Brock doesn’t have it but his ability to decipher discern and put the ball in the right hands when it’s time to put he is absolutely great that’s why I keep telling people for this offense for this offense with Cal Shanah I’m taking Brock py over everybody in
This offense in this offense that’s the key and and and what I would say is is you got to give Jordan love all the credit in the world he’s he’s he looked like a top five top 10 quarterback at times in these playoffs but we we see it
In Talent even if we we just see the gift physical gifts and you say wow when you don’t see that on a dude you you you you discount but that’s what I get frustrated with because it it’s it if if Brock pie had the game that Jordan love
Had then then everybody would have just been confirmed they would have been like hey you know those two interceptions he just doesn’t have the arm T you see him trying to throw across his body into traffic that’s if he had made those throws and made those mistakes The
Narrative would have been exactly what it is but it because Jordan love has the talent we just Overlook it we just say hey he’s just a Young quarterback he’s just Brock C’s in his second year he is in his second year we’re not talking about some 10y year vet fiveyear vet
We’re talking about a quarterback in his second year making these things happen and he Still’s not getting the credit okay but Richard would you agree that if Darnell Savage had held on to what looked like a pick six it would have changed the dynamic of the game and put
A whole lot more heat on Brock pie from that moment forward yeah I also agree if if was a fifth we’d all be drunk skip I I agree with a lot of things I just live I just live in the reality of it didn’t happen and what happened what happened
Was weak he should have dropped that one that old dirty jum yeah that old dirty dog had something to get boys I agree all right speaking of the Dallas Cowboys we got to get to them because I I I’m asking the question why was it even a story that Jerry won’t give Mike
McCarthy an extension are you kidding Me ESPN reports that according to League verus Mike McCarthy will not get a contract extension past the one year left on his deal Michael Irving your reaction to this news please if this I guess this is this what I just got to take I’m GNA have him for
A coach but only for a year if he doesn’t win a Super Bowl I have to swallow that I got to take that I’d rather be going in a whole another Direction be honest with you but Jerry wants to buy any of this what I know you could not sell is
An extension right you we we talked about this key when you guys talking about put he’s putting too much pressure on Mike McCarthy I’m like what do you mean this is this is the game it’s about pressure it’s what the game is it’s perform it’s get it done it’s win or get
Out we’ll find somebody else and I thought they were going to do that they didn’t do that they kept Mike at least they’re not ding down on that decision by saying we’re going to extend them it’s the right decision Mike you want the job make sure you win a Super you
You like me right Mike yeah I love you man you love me right I love you you like me too H skip you like me genuinely like me no matter what you say in your sleep at night you you probably like me don’t don’t try to set nobody up love
You no I’m not trying to set anybody up setting us up I’m not setting you up here here’s what I’m going to say though it’s fine it’s fine you don’t want to extend them man it’s fine just know when the shoe strings start to unravel you know how we tie that bow at
The top then all of a sudden it it unravels you know like your your left leg skip on your shoes at times the shoe string unravels and then it unravels a little bit more then it unravels a little more and then by the time you look up you might as well throw the
Laces away well this is probably what’s going to happen to the Dallas Cowboys in the 2024 season what I mean by that is when it starts to unravel it’s really going to unravel because you have a lame duck coach you have a lame duck coach on an expiring contract Now Jerry Jones has
Bet on this before he did it I believe with Wade Phillips and Jason Garett twice one time they it paid off they went 12 and four they extended Jason then at the second time around I think they want up going eight and eight and that’s why Mike McCarthy came why I say
All this is to say when you look at the model franchises around the National Football League as as Michael Irving likes to say the National Football League I’m just going to point to two franchises the New England Patriots they gave Bill bich a one-year extension after he had one year letter said to
Give him one year extension now let’s fast forward to where we are today there’s a coach in Pittsburgh n Mike Tomlin with one year left on his deal what did the Pittsburgh Steelers say well we’re going to we’re going to work on his extension he’s earned it
He’s earned it even though he’s 0 and five in the last five playoff appearances but despite having to fight through all he’s fought through and all of the people around the the in Western Pennsylvania saying we need to move on from him they’re willing to extend him
Because they don’t want him coaching on a lame duck contract that’s not my problem though in Dallas that’s your problem that your owner would rather have a coach coaching on a lane duck oneyear contract does it make sense to me Kean wait wait wait wait wait are you advocating for a three-year extension
For maybe you don’t need to give him three maybe you give him one maybe you give him two and then you figure it out what this this is lunacy it’s Insanity we’re even having this conversation the team why even have him Coach the team just part ways that’s a good
Question why even put that type of pressure on him to now have the the players inside that locker room Michael you know you done been on teams where they looked at Shane gay or whoever the hell the coaches was and when it wasn’t going right y like man needed to look at
Chen and get out of here he needed to get out and that’s what’s going to happen with McCarthy if it starts to unravel y’all not going to be able to figure it out did you did a wonderful job Johnny cocheran a wonderful job can and everything food how is it
Slick let me tell you what you did here you put Mike McCarthy and and and Over Pittsburgh Stillers s Mike McCarthy and Dallas Cowboys over there with Mike tomblin in the Pittsburgh still situation let me tell you where that’s different let me just tell you where that’s different
Mike McCarthy had a Super Bowl talented team and got knocked out in the first that’s fair Mike Tomlin did not have that that’s fair too and made it that’s fair knock out the first round that’s fair Mike McCarthy has got all the talent in order to deliver Mike Tomlin has less
Talent in overd delivered we can’t commingle these two and talk about making any kind of we’re talking about the organizations’s making a decision is what we’re talking about I gave you two examples one in New England and one in in in um in in Pittsburgh I could have
Gave you the Baltimore Ravens from a couple years ago when Harbaugh was on a one-year deal but they extended him going into the season and now he looks like he’s getting ready to go to the Super Bowl that’s all I’m saying skip y’all celebrate how y’all want to
Celebrate he tan do you realize the Hellfire and Damnation that would have come down on Jerry Jones’s head if he had number one kept Mike McCarthy and number two announced a two or threeyear extension for Mike McCarthy it would be insult to injury for all of us he he
Might actually start losing some customers Jerry Jones might have right right just all I did was told y’all so y’all want to be successful in 2024 you want these players to play play hard for this guy and run through a wall for him but as I gave the example of your shoe
Unraveling skip this is what is going to happen to the Dallas Cowboys and Michael irin knows this it’s not that I’m trying to you’re GNA laugh oh yes I’m going to laugh yeah because the moment that you start off one and three two and four then there’s no coming back from it
There’s no coming back three and three we should get rid of this guy the players are going see that and they going to act different and you know it Michael you know good and well how that goes in them locker rooms yeah where are we going with this you’re saying if you
Extend this dude if you give him a one or twoe extension you can calm things down Lord have mercy you’re sending a message to the locker room that this is acceptable and it’s not and that’s what’s unacceptable sending that message Mike MTH I never want myy himself stood up there after that
Game and said we were not prepared to play okay so you so you should have just parted way you should have just parted ways with him then Michael well they should have obviously any head coach that stands up there and say that I I I
Have an issue with I I you know Mike mccarth should have come out like that was my job to get this team ready and I fail because that’s what I heard it’s my job to get this team ready and I failed in the most crucial game
I’ve ever coach in the most crucial game for the Dallas Cowboys and I don’t know how long that blows my mind okay don’t Michael allow me to say Kean you guys both know Peter King right both of you know Peter King very well there very
Well okay there in in my time in this business there’s no one I respect more in the media business covering professional football than Peter King yep he wrote in his column this morning that as crazy as it sounds to advocate for the firing of a coach who won 12
Games three straight years this is Peter’s line I’m going to read it to you but the way these last three seasons have ended is beyond concerning Beyond concerning and and Peter King says who knows Jerry very well this is a franchise that needs to be taken by the
Scruff of the neck shaken and changed from the inside out he he concludes does Peter King for a man who made Millions RIS ring it all in the oil business Jerry Jones has been surprisingly passive in trying to win it all over the past 28 years I concur yeah Michael all
Right I’m I’m done and and to that though you you mentioned something you mentioned something in this direction a couple days ago and I and I concurred with it if we’re going to keep Michael Mike McCarthy now go get me another player go get me Derk Henry go get me
Mike Evans go get me the other thing on offense that can rise above the coaching that’s what we need if you’re going to keep that coaching oh we are in trouble I can see it now I already see it no laughing all the way to his bank no Al hair no Dan
Quinn in a moment we’ve got to get back to what’s about to happen this Sunday if we have favorites winning if we have a Christmas night match in the Super Bowl Ravens versus 49ers will the results be the same on a neutral field that’s a good question ooh ooh real MVP going to
Be in the Super Bowl ooh Yeah so if the favorites Prevail this Sunday we’ll have a Super Bowl rematch of the Christmas night game that Baltimore won at San Francisco 33-19 whoops Richard if this happens will the outcome be pretty much the same on a neutral field in Las Vegas no I
Don’t I don’t believe so I mean I if you tell me they’re going to have five turnovers again skip then i’ I’d be surprised but to turn the ball over five five times and to lose by 14 points is is is I mean it’s something in itself
But I think the the San Francisco 49ers win that game they meet up again in the Super Bowl um because of that because the the reason San Francisco loses these games is turnovers and when you turn the ball over like that you’re not winning many you lose the turnover margin five
To zero you’re not winning any games like that and when they’ve lost a turnover battle in these games against Cincinnati against Minnesota against uh against Cleveland they’ve lost those games so in order for them to win they have to play almost perfect game but I think they will play a game where they
Don’t turn the ball over five times and it’ll be a much different uh game and much different I mean outcome I would believe who has to play a perfect game I would guess San Francisco play I mean Baltimore has played pretty good game too you would think that San Francisco
Would have to play a perfect game turnovers are going to hurt you do I anticipate Brock P throwing four interceptions no I don’t in the Super Bowl I really don’t because I would think that Kyle Shanahan would be smart enough to pull things back if he starts
To turn the football over right but that’s not my problem I don’t care about the 49ers I care about the Baltimore Ravens I care about Lamar Jackson can the San Francisco 49ers face a quarterback or style quarterback that they haven’t faced on a weekly basis in
Say they can dominate him or get after him or cause problems for him do they have the means to do that defensively yeah they do the problem is they don’t face this style very often and when they have fa something very similar a quarterback that can move around deliver
The football in syn all I just look at Jordan love this past weekend he moves around pretty good delivers a football in syn pretty good fast rewind even further to Patrick Mahomes in Kansas City when they went into San Francisco moves around pretty good I would think
You would say Richard could get off spots still off schedu throws things of that nature we watched even though you refused to get his brother his credit against the 49ers because you say it was all a defense and no Lamar the objetive i’ say it’s both but y’all when when
Y’all sit there and tell me that it was all Lamar Jackson when a defense had five turnovers but that’s but isn’t that isn’t that your job is to get the football back to me so I could score that’s your job defensively and they did their job and he scored and capitalized
On those mistakes right so all I’m saying is is if there’s anything and any doubt about the 49ers it would be because of number eight to me they’ve got to figure out Super Bowl regular season whatever you want to call it how to stop him I don’t think number eight
Caed five turnovers is all I’m saying and when I keep hearing that that’s he got the football in his hand I understand but when you talk about five turnovers was the difference in the game it wasn’t if they don’t turn the ball over that’s that’s a 14-point game they
Won by 14 scored on seven straight possessions right and and and five of them started in their in their own in 49ers territory that’s all I’m saying I’m saying when you when when people sit there and say this team without Lamar Jackson is nothing but then you on the
Other side tell me that this defense caused five turnovers then I’m perplexed so Richard what I saw on Christmas night was a Baltimore team that I’ll I’ll give you this is just a little better than San Francisco even San Francisco what what I saw was a team
That led 17 to nothing going into the four fourth quarter what I saw was a Lamar who actually got off to a little bit of a rocky start in that game cuz remember early on had a couple off Target throws and then he got a hold of
It and he took the 49ers by the throats and shook them for 252 yards passing and he also ran it seven times for 45 more yards and it looked like he just outclassed Brock pie in the 49ers and Rose above and took over that game just
The way I think he’s taken over the season and will take over the AFC Championship game and ultimately the Super Bowl because it just feels like this whole season will belong to Lamar Jackson so did did you not see a better team on the 49ers feeli that night than
The 49ers I saw a team they played better they played better no question about it you gave them all the credit in the world but did I see them as a better team than the San Francisco go 49ers no um they played better they had five turnovers we I’m alluding to why they
Played better what they did better they had five turnovers the San Francisco 49ers forced zero turnovers in that game that was the story of the game they lost by 14 points that’s what happened that night skip am I expecting if if you’re telling me I should expect Baltimore to
To cause five turnovers again I just don’t see that happening and if they don’t cause five turnovers happen then I think this is going to be a ball game where it gets close it comes down to the last possession and whoever wins it wins it but if you think I’m gonna assume hey
They’re GNA have five turnovers and dominate San Francisco 49ers skip I do not see it going that way see I I don’t I don’t think that they’ll have five turnovers at all skip I just don’t that’s the you know get five turnovers against a team 10 turnovers in two games
That’s a that’s a hard thing but what I would challenge you with though Richard do you not think that this quarterback number eight the guy that’s going to win the MVP this year can’t duplicate his success on Christmas Day against the 49ers again in the Super Bowl you don’t
Think he can duplicate that oh I I definitely think he can duplicate that I don’t think that him duplicating that will be enough okay fair okay do you think Richard to sum it up do you think Brock py can play turnover free in a potential Super Bowl rematch with them I
Think he has to that’s the only way they win that game you didn’t answer the question man the man said do you think you talking about he has to yes or no he has to yeah I don’t think you think if I’m saying they’re going to win then I’m
Saying he has to do that for them to win so sck okay in a moment and Antonio Pierce finally we Discuss finally Antonio Pierce officially named head coach of the Raiders Michael you spent a day with Antonio in Vegas this season your reaction I was listen guys I was so happy when I when I saw the news that they were bringing Antonio Pierce in and removing that word in him and making him
The head coach and I thought first of all that okay they’re not making the same mistake they made last time when the players speak and I love that I’m hearing all around now the league that everybody’s starting to talk about we all want one of those kind of coaches
Right there that Antonio PC is a guy that really relates to the players yeah D Ryan a teams are winning playing winning football I just you know I’m glad they hired him but I’m going to take a little bit of credit in this situation because I actually hire I was the first person
To ever hire Antonio Pierce he was my defensive coordinator on my 707 team so I’m taking some credit on my tree this is part of my tree over here said it’s part of his coaching my that’s his first little bud right on his tree that’s his first bu
That’s his first B this is a good one a good one to have I think it’s a great decision for the Raiders I think I mean they’re paying $100 million right now to coaches who aren’t coaching for him they made the right hire this time a guy that
Should leave this franchise for a long time yeah Mark Davis can get infatuated with big names cuz his father was a big name and there was a belich and there was a arbau there was a Pete Carroll but he listened to his locker room that’s it for today’s Undisputed we are back
Tomorrow at 9:30 Eastern h

Get richard some water, he is struggling.
Nah Josh Allen is a wayyyyyy better running back than Lamar Jackson 😂😂
Kickers are better athletes than skip ever was
1:29:48 It's funny how Richard brings up the dropped pick from two years ago, but doesn't want to acknowledge that the 49ers dodged a bullet when Savage dropped a potential pick six on Saturday night. 🤫 This is not a game of "what ifs," remember, Richard? You can't have it both ways.
1:53:10 "If they don't turn the ball over." I thought you don't deal with "what ifs," Richard. That's one of the quickest backpedals I've ever seen. 😂 What a hypocrite!
Sherman's analysis is consistently unbalanced and he comes across as more of a 49ers fanboy than a serious and professional analyst.
Refs definitely going to try to cheat Ravens out of the next game. Nfl wants Cheifs rather than the Ravens in the SuperBowl!
The cowboys are done. Will be worse next year too.
He did not get that first he was short by a lot
3pts is 3 pts
We did wat we had to do score a td
We had to score that’s wat Dallas can’t do
Brock did this against browns but kicker missed game winner
An insult world be fs1 extending skip after his ratings
Skips pandering for dark African American men is mind boggling
Tired of skip non sense, every team Mahomes play he got him losing for the last six seasons
Look at Micheal want to change his mind now. Just last week he said he was go lose lol what a joke
Check your history, david faced goliath once and killed him. He never lost. Dont speak to what you dont know Richard.
Now Skip thinks that Mike Evans is criminally underrated. When Tom Brady was his QB, all Skip said about Evans was that he was just a possession receiver.
Get Sherman off the show. He just sounds like a smug little assh+le and he’s always muttering stuff under his breath when Skip is talking and he’s just annoying to listen to.
We can all agree that these videos never fail to disappoint us 😇
I am not a Josh Allen fan, but come on, he did outplay Patrick M.
Skip panders so hard to lamar lol just feels like he's trying to get black viewers. He doesn't speak kindly about QBs not named brady. Yet he's just so in love with Lamar because he's a baller? Most players are ballers skip
21:12 Buffalo played to keep their defense off the field. It wasn't anything to do with Josh Allen
Skip has no respect pos
