[Music] [Music] If it’s only Gilbert and Fernando So that must mean one thing. We are back for Lunes Live. What does that mean? The NFL season is completely kicked off. No more pre-season. No more 53man rosters. None of that. We are back for Lunes Live. Your favorite Goombas got you covered with everything. Everything we saw from week one. Uh the Chargers huge uh huge win down in Brazil. Is Hilberto trying to jump on the Dan and Diego uh I’m not gonna call it a a wagon. I’m gonna call it a a a freak train. Uh the godfather exactly how you leave it at that. The Rams uh the Rams show a defensive edge. Uh Puka Nua shows a lot of toughness in the game after uh getting busted open. And uh so we’ll talk about all that plus uh all of our takeaway mo some of our takeaways from week uh week one. Obviously we got to save some for the four compass tomorrow. But all right Gilberto how are you doing? Do you have an engagement question for our viewers and or listeners? I I do off the spot. But also, Random, when you said we’re back, I wanted to take the microphone and be like, “We’re so back like a be.” Was that more Macho Man or Hulk Hogan? I don’t know. That’s more macho man. But I I can’t stand the we are so back thing like that. That worst. And yeah, I was thinking more of the, you know, the hangover when they find That’s what I felt like. And yeah, it’s it’s it’s real football. Big boy football. But I got to say, Fernand, you mentioned that uh the four compass going to get together tomorrow. Check that out tomorrow because it was a rough day for your boy and I’m going to get a lot of ridicule and I’m ready for that. But I got to say that, you know, when I’m watching these games, I get reminded like, man, I love this damn sport and I hate this damn sport. Like I get so invested in my stupid picks. as a reporter, like you can’t be a fan, but I’m a fan of my damn picks and I’m a fan of being right cuz freaking Dan and Vic and yourself want to give me crap. And I was pissed off. I was in Vegas seeing the stupid fumbles from Sam Darno. The stupid fumbles from the Texans. Like all my picks were destroyed in a twominute span. I I almost lost it. But we’re so back. There you go, Fernando. I said it again. We’re so back. Yeah, exactly. Um yeah, I know a lot of stuff going on uh around the NFL obviously. Uh, Friday I had to watch uh the Chargers game from Dan’s uh Dan was had a game. He looks over at me and they weren’t doing too well, his team, but he looks over at me and he goes like and I go and he just like gets all fired up and my mom’s like, “There’s five-year-old Daniel like getting excited or whatever.” So then um so then he uh he’s like I need to have my dinner a Coke Zero and watch these highlights. And he watches them and he’s just like oh my god. He’s like there are adults in the room now and I just started laughing. So uh it’s funny on our preview show I went Chiefs, Eric and Dan both went Chargers. So, I was very uh surpris Eric even texted me, “Chief’s defense looks very old.” And I just started laughing. I’m like, “Yeah.” So, um I mean, I’m sure tomorrow you’re going to get into it even more, but I want to get your initial thoughts because, and it’s funny, I asked Keenan, I’m like, Keenan, you’ve been with Mike McCoy, Brandon Saley, Anthony Lynn, uh what’s his name? Um uh Eberloose, and now you’re with Jim Harbaugh. what what’s that like? He’s like, it’s different. He’s like, I I don’t know how to He’s like, I’m not going to say it, but let me just tell you, it’s it’s completely different. Um it seemed different on Sunday or on Friday. Uh the Chargers opt to go six receivers uh and only two tight ends. Um Keenan Allen, Lad Mcconi, and uh and Quinton Johnson combined for 221 receiving yards, three touchdowns. Gilbert, in general, what were your thoughts uh of the of the game? Yeah, you know what? I could just jump into my takeaway, Victor. You could throw in my my week one takeaway, and it’s involving the Justin Herbert debate or narrative. And the the the whole debating about Justin Herbert and where he ranks as a quarterback, it can be so dumb. And I’ll say this, Herbert, you know, struggling in the playoffs and criticizing that is fair. saying Herbert is terrible in the clutch. Herbert hasn’t done crap in clutch moments. Herbert is, you know, not good when with the when the lights are brightest. That’s asinine. That’s laughable. It’s you’re searching for clicks there. It takes away everything Herbert did his rookie year 2020 record setting rookie year with a social roster. It takes away 2021 where he had 5,000 passing yards and carried the team in week 18. Fourth down after fourth down after fourth down. It takes away what he did in 2022 when he had another 4,700 yards passing. I get it. The clutch moments haven’t been there the last couple years. Um, you know, the first three years to me it’s like he was carrying the roster so much. Uh, you can’t forget about that. Those are clutch moments. Those are what franchise quarterbacks do. You you lean on that. That’s why Herbert was annoy anointed pretty early is people forget in the last two years, you know, Brandon Staley was asking too much. I get that. that was a problem. And then last year, Jim Harbaugh was I think maybe coddling Herbert a little too much. There was a lot of let’s run the football, let’s protect you. And it took away from the greatness of Justin Herbert. But even last year, he was doing that Bengals game quickly comes to mind to me. So to me, it’s like the Broncos game. The Broncos game. Why are we talking about Kerbers like like a scrub like like a bone like a Yeah, terrible. You saw the comment or or or Drake May, a guy who hasn’t proven himself. This guy has proven himself many times. And to continue my point about how dumb this debate has gotten, Lamar Jackson and Josh Allen struggle in the playoffs all the time. Why doesn’t Herbert kind of get the same treatment where like he’s still a very good quarterback. He’s a legitimate franchise quarterback, but yeah, he has struggled in the playoffs. I get he has zero playoff victories, but Herbert Jackson and Allen are not pretty far off and when it comes to the conversation. Joe Burrow is different because he went to the Super Bowl and you got a big time pass for doing that, but it’s not that far off. And who’s the one quarterback for now who could who could you could make a case as to say there’s a big four right now, right? There there’s no debate. It’s Joe Burrow, Josh Allen, Momes, uh, and Lamar Jackson. But who’s that guy who’s right there who could maybe make that class with the skill set, with the past performances, everything he’s been given in his career is Justin Herbert. And for him, the here’s the point. for him to do that in Brazil on Friday night on YouTube on the biggest stage and beat the defending a AFC champions, beat a rival and finally remind people like, can we stop with the Herbert debate? He’s a good quarterback. I get it. He has struggled in the playoffs and I’m always going to, you know, give Dan crap about that. Hey, he hasn’t produced in the playoffs, but enough with the crap that he’s not a good quarterback. Enough with the crap that he’s not clutch. He showed out and maybe people now like Ryan Clark can stop going for the hot take and the clickbaits. I don’t know what it is, Fernando. For some reason, when people rank Herbert or debate about them, it just generates a lot of content. It’s because they know that Charger fans are going to come after them and that’s how you know that there are because you know the narrative like, “Oh, there are no Charger fans.” Well, they’re the ones that come after people. I mean, you saw when uh Acho kept on going at at Herbert, fans would like jump down his throat or whatever and and uh get after him. So, I completely uh I completely echo everything you’ve said. Yeah, he needs to start winning playoff games. I completely get it. But again, this year’s kind of the year where he’s going to have to do it because like the Pton Manning train kind of leaves that like the excuses, well, Pton Manning didn’t win it until his sixth year. He’s in his sixth year. Um, I thought the reason why last year uh Harbaugh coddled him in a sense and had the training wheels on him is because he one he was taking a beating uh consistently and then two they didn’t have the weapons that they have now. True. Now you see all three of these guys and and even Quinton injuries too in the in the early part of the season. Exactly. Yeah. Quinton was and and and fans won’t realize this or won’t say it, but Quinton was the thing that was keeping the Chargers in games last year. He was the receiver that was making plays, scoring touchdowns, um doing all that. And then Lad came on. Fernando, you you were you were still high on Quinton Johnson. I wrote him off. So take the lap. Go ahead. No. Well, and and I just see the talent. I know that he works hard at it. And there are moments where he flashes. Did he drop a touchdown pass? Potentially, yes. But then it went to Kenan Allen, so all is right in the world. Um, but I know Quinton works hard. It’s not like he’s just sitting there in his locker chilling on his phone collecting a paycheck. Like the dude is working hard at it. Um, but that’s why I said like you got everybody thought that you get Lad, you get Keenan, you get Trey, and you get uh KLS, you’re going to get rid of uh Quinn. That’s not going to happen. Quinton’s going to be a big part of this team. And I think people need to start realizing that is that Quinton is a focal point of the receiving group and they’re very excited. Again, last year it took LA eight weeks to really get in there and be consistent. That’s what they’re doing with Trey Harris and KLS. They’re going to let them slowly build up into what they’re doing. And now they have three receivers that obviously can help out. Um Keenan obviously had a a big drop at the beginning, but then he kind of slowly got into it. You could tell him and Herbert just had the ma the magic there that they still have. Lad and Herbert, everybody got fed. There was nobody that should have been complaining. Uh Omar and Hampton obviously struggled a little bit with but he still showed hard runs. Again, that’s one of the best defensive run stopping teams in the NFL. They held uh what was it? Seaquan to like 35 rushing yards in the Super Bowl. So, the Chargers, the Chargers essentially on offense took the blueprint from the Eagles Super Bowl and did the exact same thing. They were running the football, running the football, running, but it was the quarterback that needed to decide the game and Justin Herbert decided the game. Now, I do think that there’s a lot of things that they need to fix obviously, but it’s a very good victory to start. And it’s funny because before the game, everybody’s like, “No, Kansas City is going to go down there, make a statement, and they’re going to be like, “Yeah, look, we’re we’re not messing around. were back this that but then the Chargers won and now everybody’s like well it was just it was in Brazil. Well I mean the Xavier Worthy got knocked out uh in the first part of the game. It was friendly fire. It’s not like he got knocked out by one of the Charger players. By the way, if you go back and look, that was supposed to be a pick play. Uh Kelsey was supposed to run into Cam Hart and leave uh and leave Xavier Worthy open. So again, the Chiefs are going to get tired. It’s been you add another season on top of what they’ve already you know how Keenan Allen takes seasons away and he’s like well I had the torn ACL and then I had the season where I missed eight games so he takes a season and a half away. That’s exactly what the Chiefs do. You add a season on top of that because of uh of how tired they’re going to be. And and last point and then we can move on if you want. Yeah. Hol Joe Walt’s not going back to right. I was gonna make I was gonna make that point too. Yeah. Holy [ __ ] like he is not going and and again I wrote that story from and I talked to Joe Rudolph the offensive line coach from Notre Dame and all this and off off the record because he’s like he’s not going back like you’re going to see him at left tackle and be like yeah no like if you look at it this year might be his best chance for all pro uh Tristan Warfs I think is injured uh I think uh Trent Williams getting up there in 80 though he he could be better than those when went healthy. Yeah. No. And and did you like there was three or four plays where he just grabbed Chris Jones and just stonewalled him and you’re like, “Dude, they that’s nuts.” Like just stonewalled him. And obviously this weekend, uh, they’re going to have a tougher test or next Monday they’re going to have a tougher test because Max Crosby is, uh, is elite at what he does. But I definitely, uh, I definitely think Joe Alt isn’t going back anywhere. They’re going to have to find Rashan, maybe kick him inside the guard or put him to right tackle or whatever. But I just really think that uh I really think that he is uh that he just showed how big he is. And oh yeah, thank you to Tay. Um I thought uh Conklin, we had talked about Conklin in the past. Conklin looked really good for the Chargers. I mean, he had that fumble, but And by the way, lad, good FBI smacking the ball out of bounds. You get the 10 yards back. Yeah, but you had no trouble with anybody trying to grab it. But man, Joe Joe Waltz really surprised me. The the way he played at left tackle. I again, Gilbert, I just don’t see how you can move him back, especially if he has a a very good year this year. Yeah, that was one of those things where I thought that that could definitely be a blessing in disguise where all is going to play a left tackle. uh his natural position and I always kind of had like reservations about the move like I get Slater is a good left tackle but all you heard in the draft like Joe All is like a could be a generational left tackle and I’m like okay like I guess try my right tackle you want to have both sides solidified but why not let them compete for it and the guy who loses goes to the right right tackle or the right side and and for some reason they always you know just kept Brashan Slater there I get it he was a rookie last year and you want to see what he does but uh to me this guy has flat out proven at left tackle and this also very valuable and impressive that he could play both sides like that on a pinch, too. He was training all summer for right tackle. But anyways, the point is Yeah. Uh you were talking about Go ahead. Yeah. No, no, no, no, no. My bad. Go ahead. Sorry. You were talking about Worthy and the injuries, whatever occurred for the Chiefs, like flat out like that was an impressive win. I don’t even care what transpired in terms of injury cuz Mahomes was also lighting it up. That was a toe-to-toe game between good quarterbacks. And like I I hate watching some of these football games and clutch situation moments. Like by the Mike McDaniel, take a hike, man. You should have gone for that freaking fourth fourth and one and instead you give the ball back to the 49ers. That’s why you lost. I hate losing stuff like that. Uh Chargers, you know, having the ball and killing the clock on the run from Herbert. That’s how you win damn games after getting sacked a play earlier. Kill the damn clock and control the the game with the ball in your best players hands. That’s what happened with Justin Herbert. Uh, and this is my last point here. Yeah, I’m not too concerned about this, Fernando, and you laid it out perfectly why Herbball Harbaugh didn’t go and and lean more on on Herbert last year because everything that played out and you mentioned it again. Uh, I’m just I’m a little worried that maybe it’s it’s in Harbaugh’s DNA to always lean in the running game and and maybe having that week one game, seeing what your guy could do. He’s never had a quarterback this good in the NFL. I I get he had Andrew Luck in college. That’s a different Well, yeah. So to me, G have that balance where like he’s going to carry a lot of the workload, but not not not too much where you have a good running game. So to me, everything was a great performance for for the Chargers. So, uh, they passed the flying colors. And, you know, you could tell that they were really disgusted with what happened last year in the three games that I keep on mentioning them, the Ravens game, the Tampa Bay game, and the the Houston game. I don’t know if you read what uh Albert Brerier wrote, but I guess he spoke on Saturday to uh Greg Roman and Greg said that he went up to Eugene for a couple of uh a couple of I saw that like a week or something like that and he sat down with Herbert and they went over what he wanted to see from the offense. That’s going the extra mile. That’s sitting down and asking Herbert, hey, what did you like? What didn’t you like? What do you think we can do? I really think something clicked in him. He has something different in him. And no, it’s not the stupid Madison or not stupid. Sorry, I apologize. The It’s not the Madison Beer stuff that keeps on floating all over my my B by the way, he was walking out of a restaurant and who’s right behind him? His protector, his new left tackle, Joe Walt, walking out there with him. But it’s there’s something different in Herbert this year. And you can tell he’s probably getting to that point where he you remember how Gohan everybody attacked his family and he snapped and he turned into a Super Saiyan 2. It looks like he’s kind of at that level where it’s like something’s about to snap in him and and I think Greg sees what this offense could truly be. Again, Greg’s never had a quarterback like this and it seems like they want to they want him to run a little bit. That that’s another thing Gilbert we didn’t mention. He ran the football like he was taken off running with it trying to create plays. That’s what led to Cincinnati and Denver. Those two games espec specifically he ran with the football when there was nothing out there. And uh that’s when he became that’s when he became uh oh shoot my bad. That’s when he uh that’s when he turned it on and and uh was able to was able to play well. So, I I I really think that um that they they got something cooking there with uh with him. And again, very tough test uh this next week going and playing Pet. Carol. I know there’s no names on that defense except for Max Crosby. I know people think that there’s not that really much talent on that offense, but they they’re going to grind. They’re they’re going to work hard and and we all know when it comes to Pete Carroll, Shawn Payeyton, Andy Reid, and Jim Harbaugh, those teams are going to play up. No matter if they’re only a seven, no matter if they’re a seven, they’re going to perform like a 10, you know, if you know what I mean. So, uh, but yeah. All right. Uh, let’s Yes, Jorge. The Raiders are going to be tough with uh with um That’s the thing. Get off that high. Get off that high. Uh because the Raiders are going to be tough. All right. Uh let us go now to the LA Rams, Gilbert. They basically beat the uh they beat the Houston Texans and not the way you would have thought. They beat him with their defense. They got after and all the concern 14 to9 was a was the score Gilbert. All the concerns that we had uh flared up um three sacks on uh CJ Strad. He got hit one, two, three, four, five, six, seven times. Uh Matthew Stafford in turn also one, two, three, four, five, six times and then he was sacked three times. Um this was a mirror team in a sense like a lot of talent in the receiving room, a lot of talent at quarterback. The offensive line is kind of an issue. Um what did you make of uh what what did you make of this? Yeah, this is this is a game where I don’t want to get too caught up in in one game. I don’t want to have a weak one of a reaction, but you know, it looks like the Rams defense is better than than, you know, what I expected during the offseason. Like, yeah, they’re very good on the front, but they have, you know, question marks and at linebacker in the secondary. Uh, you know, I’m not I don’t think that the Texans are a highowered offense, but they have some good playmakers and you got CJ Stra. So for them to shut them down and keep him to like I think 275 total yard yours or 265 pretty impressive. Uh it seemed like they found a gem and Nate Lman to be your inside linebacker. He got the force fumble. Yeah. Uh who Nate Lamman maybe a gem. Uh and then you have DBs that played well. Like I’m not saying they’re going to do that every week, but you know Cam Kitchens, Witherspoon, Kobe Durant, Cam Curl, they shut down Nico Collins. That’s a legit number one wide receiver. He was nowhere to be found. Uh Jayden Higgins had like maybe two catches for 40 something yards. So overall, you know, maybe this Ram defense is better than I expected. But what really impressed me, Fernando, was the physicality, the tone that they played with. And I was telling Victor on House of Horn, it reminded me a little bit and maybe it’s a little bit of an insult, but a little bit of those 49ers Seahawks rivalries in the NFC West where it was just physical big hits and both sides did that, the Houston and and the Rams. So, but I’ll say this. I think it’s time to accept the Rams for being more of a defensive team than an offensive team. And I think we we focus too much on Stafford, Puka, and and now Devonte, and you got Kiran. But this might be more of a defensive team where they bail him out when the offense gets stagnant. And and that happens a lot with Stafford being in the backing of his prime. But, you know, they’re always going to have enough offense because you could lean on Puka and now Devonte. But, uh, I’m starting to look at this team differently. And I think it’s more about defense. Yeah. Uh, Puka, 10 catches, 130. That’s pretty good. Devonte had some back shoulder stuff that obviously he likes uh playing with. Vic is reminding us that Darius Williams uh did not play. So that’s uh even more guy stepped up. Yeah. For the Rams. Um no, the Texans defense is very good. The only thing is is that that offense just looks like I you can get all the receivers in the world, but if your offensive line Yeah. can’t block. Um guys were hurt, too. Yeah. Yeah. Exactly. and and I think a couple of a couple players got hurt from uh Houston. So, um again, we had talked about the addition of of Puna Ford. He he uh he showed glimpses. Um this tech this the front four of the Rams are going to dictate a lot. Now, it’s going to be like we’ve said, the back end. Are the backend guys going to be able to step up? And they did step up. I mean, you have a lot of talent on that team with Higgins. Uh like you said, Nico Collins, three catches, 25 yards. Um they have a bunch of guys on there, but nobody really made it. He only threw pass for 188 yards. So uh in Houston, too. Yeah. And and Joe Mixon is still three weeks out. I mean, you literally have uh they have and they have a really tough schedule. Next week they face the uh the Buccaneers on Monday Night Football in the early slate of the Monday Night Football. Okay. uh they go to they go to Jacksonville, Tennessee comes there, they go to the Ravens, they go to the Seahawks, and then the 49ers come to them. So, that’s a that’s a pretty tough opening schedule. And again, Brett is right, the Texans defense is so good, but can you put up points? Um because not every defense going to be able to I mean blanket. They’re not going to be able to blanket all those teams. Points ain’t going get it done. Exactly. I completely agree. Um, all right, Gilbert, let’s move on now to uh both LA teams 1 and 0. Uh, let’s move on to the Sunday night matchup, Gilbert. My god, I was at Alex Morgan’s uh at Alex Morgan’s uh jersey retirement ceremony and at one point I was kind of like, oh, okay. Like the the Ravens are up. They basically won the game. And then all of a sudden, like I click back on on onto Zakok on accident because I was trying to get to another page because I was writing my uh my uh Alex Morgan story and I see, oh wait, like Josh Allen, like I I think I saw the Derk Henry fumble. I was like, okay. I was like, I need to finish the story. Boom. Let me throw it in there and let’s go to uh let’s go to let’s watch the game. So I I threw my story in there, ready to go. And then I watched the last uh eight minutes of that game. Those last eight eight minutes, man, the energy was was redonkulous. Uh I think they were I think they had a 99.1% chance the Ravens to win the game. And then Buffalo came from behind and and they were able to score on obviously the um the play from Josh Allen. Josh Allen finished 33 of 46, 394, two touchdowns. Uh Keon Coleman, eight catches, 112, one touchdown. Um the run game really wasn’t working all that much. I mean, Josh Allen did have 14 carries for 30 yards, two touchdowns. On the other side, Lamar was 14 of 19, 209, two touchdowns. Uh Derrick Henry, 18 carries, 169, two touchdowns. Lamar, six carries, 70 yards, one touchdown. Gilbert, let me ask you. Did the uh Baltimore Ravens lose this game or did the Josh Allen le Bills power themselves uh to this game? That’s that’s a little tough. Maybe it’s a little bit of both. And yeah, the the the Bills caught a break with that Derrick Henry fumble, but the Bills, man, like that offense is good. Like that I I get they struggle in the playoffs, but like that offense has been proven. like 15 points in seven minutes to go in the fourth quarter. That’s nothing for the Bills offense and all these Bills fans left. Like I’m glad Josh Allen called them out like you have no faith. Like that’s a good offense. That’s that’s not that’s nothing for them. But I’ll focus more on the Ravens here because they they did blow it. And Fernando, I think the the the best I guess the highest gear that I feel like in the NFL that a team possesses is the Ravens offense. When they’re rolling, they’re a damn juggernaut. And how do you stop them? But the way I’m thinking about it, like you we seen all these sci-fi movies where like this smart genius guy or from Silicon Valley or wherever or back in the day like Bill’s this freaking robot that just could do everything and it’s amazing and like but out of nowhere it’s like it it screws up because like you know people are saying like the the the army guys are telling the scientists, can we move it forward with this damn machine in here to get it out going and then you don’t check everything. It’s faulty and then when it comes to the brightest moments it it turns around the robot and it kills everybody. That’s a very dark way to go. But for some reason, this high-powered machine just screws up and and the biggest moments like they couldn’t catch the two-point conversion with Mark Andrews, Lamar Jackson tends to fade in the playoffs and then you cough up that that that 15-point lead. So, it’s like they when they are on, nobody could compete with that team, but they always find a way to screw it up. And like the the Rams are just a weird headache where like, man, like are they ever going to get it done? And like I don’t know why they can’t figure it out, but that’s a damn good offense. They just always screw it up. Yeah. No, no, no. I completely uh I completely um I completely understand what you’re saying and and and that’s the thing is that what what is what’s the stat now? Jim John Harbaugh is uh he has 17 10 double digit leads that have been blown. Wow. I think Yeah. And I think that’s the most since like 2002, something like that. It’s like the most in a long time. Um, it’s it’s on coaching, it’s on the players, but I mean also I think Ed Oliver is the one that co is the one that caused him to fumble. Ed Oliver is just he’s different and I think we forget about him because of Josh Allen and and uh all that that happens with them. He he had a sack. They they I mean to be honest like Joey couldn’t set the edge worth of crap for them and and uh they really balled out at the end to try and save that. But uh there was multiple times where Joey wasn’t setting the edge. But um but yeah, I completely agree with you. It’s like the Ravens get in their own head sometimes and and they mess up at the end and that’s kind of what’s always been their MO. That’s why I can’t I know uh I know our boy Tyler Dragon hates that I don’t ever pick them for anything, but I just don’t see it happening. And screw it up. Let’s be honest. like their defense is it has names, but it’s not as good as what people envision it to be. You don’t get up give up 40 points and over 500 yards of offense if you’re a great defense. And they’re like I said, Kyle Hamilton is very good, but McKenzie J uh Jier Alexander, my bad, Jaier Alexander in the in towards these last few years, he’s given up big plays. Guys give up play. Marlon Humphrey gives up plays. So, it’s not as uh tight tight-knit and shut as what everybody thinks it is. But, um I’ll give them a little bit of slack here for now because when Josh Allen is in this uh and you you brought up Albert Brer’s story, when he’s in Bruce Lee mode, because I think Jo Josh Allen told Albert Ber that like he he likes to find this Bruce Lee method where like he’s not thinking about technique. It just comes natural like when that guy is playing naturally and not thinking like there’s no stopping the guy. I don’t care what defense that is. So, I give the Ravens a little bit of, you know, slack there, but you’re right. It’s a team that But it’s a team that you’re gonna have to face in the playoffs. Yeah. Like, what’s going to happen when he God, a lot of bots today. What’s going to happen when uh when that happens in the playoffs? He’s gonna they’re going to go at him and or they’re going to do the exact same thing. And I’m telling you, that’s going uh that’s why uh Oh, he’s in here. The cheese eating bastard. We love it. We love it. Uh, hey, the Packers EA looks better with AJ here. I wonder why Michael P. Exactly. But yeah, so I I completely uh I completely agree with you and uh again, this is a team and again the the Chiefs, the Bills, like you’re going to see these teams in the playoffs and we’ve known in the past that that Baltimore just doesn’t play up to that level and they screw up. I think they had a lead also in that playoff game against the uh against the Bills and kind of it slipped away as well. So yeah, I just uh I’m just not buying it. I I really think that um man, when they’re on they’re they’re so dominant. Yeah, I can’t trust that team. Yeah. No, I completely agree. Uh you know what? Let’s do this. Let’s switch uh these two topics just to appease our viewing audience. Gilbert. The Packers take it to Jared Goff uh over on Sunday. They take it to him. They’re blitzing him. They’re get they’re getting him confused. Uh Dan was uh yelling at the TV uh consistently because he wasn’t happy. Um no, they sacked him one, two, four times. They hit him one, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, nine times. And uh they were just they were all over him. He threw a pick as well. No running game. Jamari Gibbs nine carries, 19 yards. David Montgomery 11 carries, 25 yards. Gilbert, are the Green Bay Packers the best defense in the NFL. Oh, that’s for sure a week one over reaction. It’s been a one game. Let’s pump the Let’s pump the brakes right there for that one. But I I’ll say this because yesterday when I was depressed with all my picks not hitting and no upsets happening, I’m like, is is parody over in the NFL? It’s going to be the same teams again. Like I’m not calling the Packers some underdog here. They got Michael Parsons, but what the Packers did to the Lions at least shows me that there is a changing of the top of the scene where there’s a there’s going to be a new playing contender in the Super Bowl uh list here. And I feel like for a couple years been the same, the Chiefs, the Ravens, and and the Bills and the Lions and the Eagles. So for the Packers to move up, it’s a little bit it’s not that it’s I like to see upsets that the little dogs move up. The Packers were they’re like they were uh what’ you say? You like Chihuahua. Yeah, there you go. And nobody freaking nobody. It was whatever. Anyways, uh there was no real upset, but uh the Packers point is they were kind of caught in this no man’s land last year where like yeah, they’re above average, but like who cares? I’m not going to lose any sleep. You lost to the Eagles twice. You lost to the Lions twice. You lost to the Vikings twice. Like you’re like you’re good but you don’t you’re not I’m not gonna watch you. You’re like not that fun. Like even Jordan Love aggress. And then you get Michael Parsons who in limited snaps man what he did just in and that in those snaps as a pass rusher to even drop back in coverage and be an inside linebacker that Taylor like what the hell were you doing Jerry? Uh Jorge I read your comment here. Gil Pigs ain’t it. Vicks Pigs is where it’s at. The man paid off my car last year. Horge you like to have you know easy picks. That’s why I’m a bold man here. I like I like to live on the wild side. Uh shout out to the Browns for covering. Shout out for the Jets for covering. Uh everybody else, you’re dead to me. Mike McDonald, you’re I shouldn’t say that. Anyways, you but be tougher. Anyways, the point is the Packers are legit playmakers. They’re I I don’t care. That’s a week one of reaction. I’ll I’ll I’ll take one. And like I mentioned, when I said I wasn’t gonna pick the Packers to make the playoffs, that was more about like it was too late. I don’t want to change it. I don’t give a crap. Uh but yeah, they’re legit. They’re gonna be uh with the big boys this year. Uh Chees Eating Ambassador says, “Hilberto, great take. Uh way better than other people who sometimes are on the spot.” Okay, thank you. Finally, somebody said something good here. Uh Cheese Eat Ambassador, your Packers are legit just because they made that trade in Jerry Jones. Man, what the hell are the Cowboys thinking here? Who do you think he was talking about? Uh my good friend Dan Ando. Um, man, Green Bay had a college feel to it in the sense of like it it always does like a game, but LA yesterday because they got Micah Parsons again, the Steelers and the Packers are doing things that they have not done in their history. They went out and they got the big- time player. They made the big time trade and they went to go get somebody who they believe could make their team even better. and we saw it. And I know Micah has the the back stuff, but he came in and he he wrecked the game in the limited uh possessions that he had. Obviously, they wanted to save him, I think, too, because they have a short week and they played Jaden Daniels on Thursday. They manhandled the Lions, too. He wasn’t needed that moment. Dude, did you see what he did to Pane Su like once or twice? Yeah, he knocked him flat on his ass. Jerry Jones. Yeah. Uh I just and with the amount of talent that the Packers defense already has, they uh they really have a bunch of guys that I think could re they could really throw out the quarterback. Obviously, they’re going to miss Kenny Clark, but I think you you you’re okay giving up Kenny Clark to get a Micah Parsons. Um but again, I think that defense is very aggressive. Uh they have uh that you could tell that they were playing with a different swagger. You saw Xavier McKini like he went up and he got a flag for taunting and you could just tell that they just feel different and that’s going to be great for them. So I definitely think that uh Micah coming in gave that town that town and that city and that team new energy and if they get feed off of it yeah they could feed off of it all the way to the Super Bowl. I mean Dan to his credit Dan has them making the Super Bowl. So let’s let’s just be honest he has them making it to the Super Bowl. And Dan’s gonna give me so much crap tomorrow. Huh? You he just came out on the right end for a lot of things. Oh, dude. And you know what sucks is that there’s a lot of stuff that I mean I mean it’s only been one week, but I think Dan is the leaderboard on our uh on our um picks also for the whole season. So or the wins total. Yeah. Yeah. Dan is I think four and 0. He’s waiting tonight for the I went two and three. Oh, four and one. Oh, yeah. Yeah. Yeah. He had uh he had somebody that lost yesterday. I can’t remember. Oh, the Broncos came through, but they looked terrible, though. I’ll say that, dude. They did. The Broncos did not look good. Uh, real quick, Aaron Rogers, your thoughts on uh Aaron Rogers turns back the the Speaking of the Packers, Aaron Rogers turns back the clocks, and uh he he had a interesting uh interesting day. 22 of 30, 244, four touchdowns. Uh DK Medaf, four catches, 83 yards. On the other side, Justin Fields 16 of 22, 218, one touchdown, 12 carries, 48 yards, two touchdowns. Uh Bree Hall, 19 carries, 107. Uh thoughts on that. That was a that that was a hell of a matchup. I was actually very excited to watch uh that game. I thought they were pretty. Uh so, who are you more impressed with, Aaron Rogers or Justin Fields? Yeah, I’ll say I did not expect 66 combined points from these two offenses. I thought it’s going to be a field goal fest. And to the credit of Chris Boswell, he nailed that 60-yard field goal and, you know, it came through for them. But it’s tough because I I think both guys are in the right situation. Like the Jets couldn’t really, you know, work with Aaron Rodgers and and to Aaron Rogers’s credit, like, you know, he still has, you know, zip on the ball. He can still move around a little bit to, you know, build plays off scripted. A good connection with DK Madcast. So, you know, I I just want to It’s hard to pick one cuz it’s like I don’t know. Like I don’t really like think it’s going to move the needle for me in any way. Uh you have you have the Steelers making the playoffs. I’m just saying. But yeah, like like they’re going to maybe win nine 10 games, but they’re going to win a playoff game. I’m He was motivated though. You could tell Aaron was motivated. That was good because Aaron Glenn, you know, you know, treated him like crap. I’ll say that. And you know, Aaron Glenn was trying to be a hard ass. But on the Justin Field side, you know, this kind of feels like a ceiling. And this this this Jets offense reminded me of 2023 Justin Fizz with the Bears were like he’s going to be mobile. He’s going to help your rushing attack and then if you have one star playmaker he’s going to give the ball to that player to make him look better as a passer. So remember DJ Moore that that first year that he was there in Chicago like Justin Fields looked good like he was you know lining it up you know moving around and he was just too up and down and you know that’s the thing with with Aaron Glenn’s uh you know the Jets now it’s going to be a very topheavy offense where they’re going to lean on Bree Hall Justin Fields and Garrett Wilson that’s about it. So because Justin Fields is not a guy who’s going to move the ball around. Aaron Rogers obviously did that in the heyday and he still does that to an extent. So maybe to me that’s my answer there. Aaron Rogers was more impressive because of what he could do in the pocket and spread the ball around. There were some guys I’ve never heard of on the freaking Steelers making plays. So that was a testament to him. Uh and I also Yeah, there you go. You know, former Ram and I think he has enough trust that Mike Tomlin could go and Arthur Smith go away from their stone age playbook and say, “All right, man. Go do your thing.” That’s a big plus for the Steelers. They were such a boring offense. But I think Justin Fields when he’s at this, you know, this level where he has a good playmaker, uh he’s okay. He’s not the best, but he’s a he’s a good mediocre quarterback. So, he’s in a right spot right there. And I’ll say this, Jaylen Ramsey put a damn hit on Garrett Wilson. That was a clutch play. And and people saying Justin Field should have ran like, yeah, he’s he’s an elite athlete, but there was like three guys around him. He made the right call to throw the pass to Wilson. It was just a good play by Jaylen. Uh I think the Steelers defense is in trouble. They’re old. Oh, yeah. Uh they gave up 32 points to Justin Fields. Not trying to take anything away from Justin Fields, but he was moving the ball up and down a lot. I think their run defense isn’t as good as what it has been. Um, but I thought Aaron Rogers and the offense played very well. Uh, this is the thing that we’re going to see with DK. DK had I think two catches or three in the first half. He had only one in the second half. I believe that’s what it was. Um, so things like that are going to happen with DK where he kind of play though, but yeah, it was No, no. Yeah, he did. Jaylen Ramsey had a great play like you mentioned that hit that hit was that’s vintage Jaylen Ramsay. Um I just think that because they have old Darius Lelay him uh Joey Porter Jr. got hurt in the game. Uh I just think they’re you’re going to see if you have a burner they’re going to be able to burn those guys. What about the other side too? You got you got a younger defense and with South Garner and Quinn Williams and they suck too. Yeah. Yeah. I mean their pass rush was uh better. They, man, they put on a lick on Aaron Rogers in one of those. Um, I thought him and Joe Burrow got hit a lot. Aaron Rogers and uh Joe Burrow got hurt or hit a lot yesterday. But those Bengals in September, man, they’re fun to watch. Uh but yeah, I I definitely agree with you. I’m just not uh completely sold on uh on I know I have the Steelers making the playoffs, but I just don’t know if I’m sold. I I don’t know if they can continue doing this moving forward. and the defense really worries me. I know a lot of people say week one kind of throw it to the side. I just can’t when it comes to that just because 32 points is a lot of points put up. So I uh I just genuinely don’t think that they’re going to be able to keep it up. But Aaron did look vintage Aaron. He was moving well in the pocket. He was slinging the rock. The touchdown to there was one touchdown that I was just like, “Oh, wow.” Like he off his back foot like threw it and and slung it into the end zone and I was like, “Okay.” like, oh, Zinda Austin number 19. I really thought half of the Steelers members are AARP. Um, all good things. Uh, but yeah, that was uh that was kind of my takeaway. Uh, I think that they’re better than what I think they’re good, but I’m just uh I’m just not completely sold on either team. I I I think uh Fields is going to struggle um in the next couple of weeks and and uh I’m still wondering what their identity is going to be on defense because like you said like they got lit up for four touchdowns. So uh and they’ve paid a lot of their guys. So I I’m really wondering what’s going to happen uh moving forward uh from uh from them. Uh real quick, Gilbert, I know you wrote about it. Uh, the Giants scored six points against the Commanders who won 21 to6. Is Brian Debo being smart or dumb in going with Russell Wilson? Dumb. And how long do you think until he turns to Jackson Dart? Next week. But I supposedly I saw that he’s going to commit to Russell Wilson. What the hell are you doing, Brian Dave? Like, can we stop trying to make Russell Wilson a thing? Like, it’s not 2016 anymore. Like, he’s he’s going to be even if he has some decent day, it’s going to be a roller coaster. That was a horrendous performance from uh from the entire Giants offense. And I get it’s not all Russell Wilson’s fault, but he didn’t do anything to help you out. And you’re on the hot seat. You had you were lucky that Miami had a worse performance than you, Brian Dable, but man, you are definitely on the hot seat here. So, go play your best card and that is if Jackson Dart looks like a a legitimate, you know, franchise quarterback or has a future to be one, that’s your card right there. That’s the one you play because even if you you don’t make the playoffs, you probably won’t. And you tell John Mara, hey, uh yeah, you know, at least we drafted the right quarterback. Can we reset the clock here because he looks good, right? So, can we keep going and do this? That’s the only card he has, but what the hell are we doing here waiting around like the guy don’t have Michael Parsons? They got no pressure. Just go and play the kid. Like, Russell Wilson wasn’t going to do anything for you. But like I don’t I don’t I don’t get what’s going on here with Brian David. It’s like he did did he get like a free job because he helped Josh Allen fi find a rhythm for a year? Like like what the hell we’re doing here? Like enough is enough of Brian Dable. Uh the Eagles, breaking news. The Eagles have just traded for Jaguars running back Tank Giggsby. Oh, Tank Gigsby. Oh crap. Okay. Yeah, they see that’s the thing about the Eagles where I’m very impressed with they they didn’t like their pass rush from uh from Sunday. They or Thursday and they go get the Darius Smith. Yeah. And they just keep on doing. By the way, it was supposed to be announced today, but nothing has come out. Do you think that they were supposed to rule today on Jaylen Carter if he’s going to be suspended? I don’t think he’s going to be suspended. He got suspended for the game. He got that game. He was He didn’t play a snap. So, I don’t think he’s suspended for the Chiefs game. I think he plays for the Chiefs against the Chiefs. What do you think? I don’t think he gets suspended. me because the whole Dak Prescott thing where he Yeah. Oh, Hefty is fine for sure. But I think because Prescott, there’s footage of him like not spitting at him, but like kind of you could see like why he got the reaction looking at him when he spit. Yeah. Sometimes, you know, it’s kind of like a habit when you spit when you talk, but like he just kind of did it a little little too much that way. But and also like all all these rules are all over the place, too. Like, you know, I think in the They don’t even know. They don’t know what a catch is. Yeah. Like when people get in a fight, but they don’t get thrown out, but you spit on somebody, you stay. I don’t freaking know. So, uh, that was just that was actually such a weird start, but we’ll see if he gets suspended. But, uh, yeah, another reason why the Cowboys had an opportunity to steal one without Jayen Carter and they couldn’t do it. But whatever. I keep crapping on the Cowboys, but let’s h keep it going before we have to head out at five. Okay. Yeah. So, they’re going to get rid of uh Russ, I think, or I think they’re going to play him against the Chiefs. Jackson Dart. I’ll call my shot. What was that? Week three. Week four. Week three. Oh, there’s a lot of commercials in Dallas. They’re playing the Cowboys Chiefs by surprise. You take the Chiefs by surprise. And uh they’ve never seen, by the way, Malik Neighbors going at his head coach was uh crazy. By the way, I uh that is not going to be happy. Maybe Russell Wilson. Yeah, it was not good. Uh all right, let us quickly bring in Vic the producer. Let us uh Vic, how are you doing? Let us just go real quick with uh some Crossfire. Um yeah, quick crossfire with Vic. Thank you so much, Vic, for of course being here. All right, guys. Uh well, you know, thanks for having me on here. Um all right, guys. So, just to start off, we’ll start off with the Gilbert here. Uh which Super Bowl participant has more concerns, Gilbert, the Chiefs or the Eagles, after week one overreaction? Yeah, when you see the Eagles reloading and just making trade after trade like it’s a fantasy football league, then they’re going to be fine. you know, they have a lot of talent and, you know, they see a weakness, they try to solve it. With the Chiefs, they’re not as aggressive, but like you are really banged up at the skill position. You’re you’re still waiting for Rasheed Rice to come back. You know, your guy Kelsey uh you know, injured Xavier Worthy, which I’m pissed off about because he’s on my fantasy team and I got a big fat zero playing Victor in fantasy football. But whatever, Travis Kelce, congrats on the engagement. But it kind of seemed like the same Chiefs sagging offense of the last few years were like they’re like just kind of, you know, zombie walk into the playoffs and then hope for the best in in in the playoffs. But can they keep getting away with that method? I don’t think so after what we saw from the AFC West around the league in week one. So I have more concerns for the Chiefs where you know in previous years I I think Mahomes could hold it down but they’re really banged up at the skill positions. Fernando, I I I have to go with Kansas City as well. And you know, usually it’d be cool if like you uh My bad. I’m not frozen. Yeah. No, I mean it makes sense. You know what secondary? You know what? Yeah. I I I will go with the Eagles. I will go with the Eagles. Why? I don’t like their secondary this year. Um I thought their guys kind of got picked apart a little bit by Dak. Um their pass rush isn’t what it was. They’ve lost a lot of defensive uh line players and their defense just looked like if if I’m gonna be honest, if that if the uh the Lightning doesn’t hit, I don’t know if Dallas doesn’t come away winning that game, intended in that game. Exactly. Um Exactly. So, I I think that the that’s why the Eagles are going out and retooling. Man, I’m telling you, I think two teams are going to make big trades before the uh before the tread deadline happens, and it is the Philadelphia Eagles and the can and the Buffalo Bills. I think both of them are going to make a big move to bring in a player to help them on both on their defenses. So, I definitely can see uh both of those teams making big moves because they both uh they both needed on their defense. I I don’t I didn’t like what I saw from Philly’s defense. I know they came out with the big plays, but no, Jorge, I think that that train has sailed. I don’t think I think Kansas City and Tyreek are too toxic for each other. And with the stuff that came out, every team should call the Dolphins because with Wait, whoa, whoa, hold on. With all the story that came out today with Tyreek’s ex-wife, what she’s been saying, I don’t know if I would uh Oh, yeah. I don’t know. I don’t know if uh I don’t know if that ship. My bad, Jorge. Uh, I don’t think I don’t think anybody wants to uh That ship has sailed. I don’t think anybody wants to uh I don’t I I’d wonder if they would want to touch Tyreek. So, I’ll go with the Eagles on this one. Yeah, I think I think both teams have some concerns and you know I I think the bigger concern here is the Chiefs just in terms of like you didn’t spend a lot of money on your receivers and then you look at how they got beat by the Chargers too defensively that that you know and then you have a lot of bickering going on with Chris Jones not doing his job there. Well, no. And then there was Travis Kelce bickering with Jer. Yeah. Yeah. So I I think that’s something to kind of keep an eye on. All right, Fernando, we’ll start off. They’re not they’re not one trade away from everything being okay. No. So, slowly but surely, that that uh that ship is sinking, Jorge, a ship can sink. I I think part of the problem, too, uh Fernando, is that the AFC is much tougher than the NFC. I feel like the Eagles can kind of regroup um and and kind of get away with some stuff there just because they’re in a in in a in a lesser conference. All right, Fernando, we’ll start off with you. Are the Indianapolis Colts good or are the Miami Dolphins that bad? The Miami Dolphins are that bad. They’re terrible. They’re horrendous. They’re assining. They’re ass 10. They’re ass. Just ask. Like, it’s really bad. And I I’m I’m going to kind of point at the Colts. I think the Colts are this year’s or last year’s New Orleans Saints where they win the first two games by blowing out teams and they’re gonna Yeah. And then they’re going to come back to down to earth. But and I mean they have some pieces there in Indie and everything, but Tyreek Hill has not had a reception of more than 30 yards since week one of last year. That is not good for a uh a guy that people deem as still one of the best uh one of the best receivers in the NFL, one of the fastest. Not just that, then you look at to a tongue of Ailoha and and there was two of his picks where I was like, what are you what are you looking at? the linebacker was crouched, but he was standing right there and he he he just isn’t what he was what what people believed he was. That first year that Mike McDaniel got there, they were highowered. Waddle gets hurt. Tyreek has all this stuff going on off the field. Uh they’re just they their offensive line is really bad. Then Darren Waller has a setback, isn’t playing. Uh they got rid of Jonnu Smith. Uh it just all around for Miami it just doesn’t look good. That’s why I feel bad for Minka. I think Minka is going to get dealt before the trade deadline uh happens. I think somebody Bradley Chub Jayen Phillips they all will get traded. What all those guys are going to get traded and and I I believe that they’re going to sell they’re going to sell sell sell and they’re going to fire fire after the year. The only reason why they won’t fire is because Steven Ross is probably going to be too cheap. But uh again, let’s go back to that year when they scored 70 points. I did not believe that they that was everybody was crowning Miami. They’re going to the Super Bowl. They’re this team. And then they come back down to earth and fall flat on their faces. So, I just think Miami is very very bad. Um Ain could get dealt too. Hell if uh if they really feel like they there’s nothing going on. But I really feel like the Miami Dolphins are headed for a really bad uh a really bad time moving forward and they paid to a tongue of Aloa last year. So now they’re in a sense stuck with them for the next four years. So uh yeah. No, I I think Miami is just that bad. Do you have anything to add here or do you want to keep on the Dolphins? Uh the Dolphins are like that super senior in high school that peaked. They’re like, “Yeah, they were good in that 7020 game in September of 2023. I lost track. They picked way too early. They they stink. And uh yeah, Mike Mcdana probably get fired. They quit on him. And also uh I know Ryan Clark already has taken a shot at Tua Tonga, but maybe Ryan Clark should talk more about Tua saying that he’s not clutch, that he has like I don’t know what the hell he’s done in his career. What? Beat the Chargers in week one two years ago, three years ago. That that’s it. I They got to cut that guy. He’s not good. That’s it. That was a game where they had Khalo Mack uh in the slot against uh against Tyreek Hill on the first play of the game. Yeah. Yeah. You know what uh Mike McDaniel’s coaching career is starting to remind me of is uh uh Chip Kelly’s career with the with the Eagles. It’s kind of like where like I think the players are out on him. Yeah. No, one this is pretty good. Well, you heard Jaylen Ramsey and him got into it right before he traded him. So yeah, they’re they they they they’re completely out on everything that is him, which I feel bad because Frank Smith, friend of the show, is uh that I’m surprised he’s not a head coach yet, but I I think Frank’s Well, I mean, with what just is happening right now? All right, guys. Uh we got Ben Bengals or Broncos. Who had the most concerning week one performance? Uh definitely the Broncos. The Bengals, they just this is what they do. like they have bad defense and they have so so offense September they’re going to find a way to get eight nine wins maybe and that’s kind of like who they are and maybe they do better but with the Broncos like what happened to Super Bowl high what happened to Bon being the next you know star quarterback what happened to Champagne saying that Bon is going to find that superstar status and he wasn’t good and like I I just don’t you know I’m not saying Bon can’t ever become like a star quarterback but like to say the words like superstar like he hasn’t proven himself and then the other part too is this Broncos even this good, but are they that special to carry a young quarterback still trying to find his his way in the league? Like, it’s obvious he still has a lot of room to grow. I mean, he has a lot to learn in the league. But a lot of times with these very good defenses, they have so so quarterbacks, they just get stuck in mediocre land. They get they’re one and done. Maybe they win one playoff game like the Texans have have a couple years and that’s about it. But to crown this team to go to a Super Bowl and be a real contender, that was so premature. Let’s see what Bonis could do. And so far, he couldn’t do anything against the Tennessee Titans of all teams. Fernando quick, right? Oh my god, that was pretty good. By the way, uh Broncos at uh Colts next uh next Sunday. I completely agree with Gilbert. I think the Broncos uh there there was there was four or five drops from Titans receivers where they could have helped Cam out a lot more than what they did. Uh Cam stood in the pocket. He took the beating. He did everything that he needed to do, but it just didn’t materialize. I thought it was a good showing by him. He didn’t turn the football over. So, I actually thought that that was a pretty good showing by him. Um, again, I there’s some reservations I still have on the Broncos. Bicks, Bon Knicks didn’t look good at all. He didn’t look special at all. And and they were missing Legious Snee, who I have yet to see wear a Titans uniform. Forget about that. So, I know that they say that he is employed and paid by them, but I have not seen him wear a uh I’ve not seen him money and throw his contract or something. Exactly. But yeah, I agree with Gilbert 1000%. And I still need to see a lot more from the Broncos. I I see a lot like that RJ Harvey big run, that 57 yard basically would put the game away. If it wasn’t for that, who knows what would have happened. But they kept it close the whole game. There wasn’t a point where you said, “Okay, Denver’s going to take control of this game.” So yeah, there’s uh Denver’s going to Indianapolis next week. That’s going to be a very tough game. But uh but yeah, Vic, final thoughts. Yeah, la last thing here uh Monday night preview. Uh any concerns there with the field? I I don’t know if you guys heard apparently there was a bunch of uh uh concerts there in late August and now the field is like crap. So uh just a quick Vikings uh here Vikings at the Bears. Who you guys got tonight? Uh I will go in the words of uh what’s the name from 51st? Go Vikings the the brother. But Jaylen Johnson, there’s a reason why Jaylen Johnson’s not playing tonight. I think he saw the field and they’re like you know what? Let’s not even risk this dude. We need him for later. So, I’ll go I’ll go Vikings. Yeah, I picked the Bears.
