Philadelphia Eagles vs. Green Bay Packers Reaction: Saquon’s 3 TDs lead Philly to victory | 3 & Out

Intro what's up everybody Welcome to three and- Out YouTube page I'm John middleof and we are talking football all day every day make sure you subscribe like the video share with your friends let's roll baby what is going on the Philadelphia Eagles win in Brazil take down the Packers 34 to 29 is that the final score 34 to2 9 what a game I mean that thing I had about seven different takes I had to ER racee uh I I had a tweet in the hopper about Jordan love early on in the game I'm glad I didn't fire that bad boy off but luckily it looks like Jordan love is avoided Serious injury uh but not a great game for Jordan love Jaylen Hurtz all over the map but came through in a couple big spots uh made some big plays obviously with his arms and legs jquan Barkley as John marrow once famously said on a little show they call Hard Knocks I don't know if I could sleep watching him in Philadelphia I'm sure he's going to lose a little sleep tonight as saquon Barkley gets three touchdowns obviously I think the defense on both these two teams I mean the these are the Packers were a top five team for me I might have to change that after watching the defense tonight I think the Eagles defense clearly has some issues uh but both these teams te have a lot of offensive Firepower they just need their quarterbacks to play better Eagles 1 and0 Packers 0 and one and I I was thinking watching this we'll dive into it but uh just a lot going on a couple other things I want to hit because last night after we recorded a reaction uh a lot of comments were coming from the Ravens and people were ripping them have some thoughts there and then we'll just hit a couple other things uh a little weekend sixpack will fly around the league getting ready for Sunday which the NFL's back in full swing baby so uh it was an enjoyable game to watch on a Friday night when unless you have kids playing High School football uh it was much better than BYU SMU I would imagine didn't watch a snap of that game so uh we will dive in to uh to this game right off the top for sure but before we do that you know I got to tell you about my friends my partners in the official ticketing app of this podcast here's the

Instant Reaction our listeners are in America though we do have an international audience we've even had people from Brazil hit me up I am okay with the expansion of the league and going International with these games I do think when you do it and you go to Brazil let's face it that field tonight was a disaster it it looked like these guys were on ice on both teams and how many plays both these two teams possess one their cash cows for the league Green Bay is one of the biggest brands obviously so is Philadelphia they consistent stalwarts in the playoffs where the league makes a lot of their money it's why these rights holders pay so much because the ratings not just in the regular season but how gigantic these playoff games are and there are a lot of really important people on every NFL team but specifically ones that are going to win double digit games and be playing in January and I listen as recording this immediately right after the game I I don't know Jordan love status based on just a guy that's been watching sports for 35 years looked like he just rolled an ankle thank God because then whenever anyone's laying there and listen that that could happen on on any field he got Twisted by a couple defensive linemen but they got very lucky that no one tore an Achilles or tore an ACL slipping and sliding on that field I I mean I can't imagine early on in that game when guys were sliding gakin and Hoy are like oh my God and I know blackl said that when he went to practice yesterday the field was in pretty good shape well I I don't know what happened whether it's the de at night I don't know if they're close to the ocean or not not a g geography major here uh in terms of where the city is relative uh in the area but that was bad and that was and Rogers sitting there with the ambassador of America from the braz uh for Brazil I I just thought it was rough it really was I'm not trying to be a Negative Nancy I'm glad football's back but and listen some of our fields in America historically have been hit or miss at times I remember when the 49ers built their Stadium their their field condition were a joke but that's what I thought tonight and when you're going to go International and especially to a place that you are not consistently going and for that to happen I mean can you imagine if an AJ Brown a saquan Barkley you know one of the star players on the green Josh Jacobs had slipped in the open field by themselves in a non- contact injury and ripped their knee up and I I was kind of holding my breath all night as guys were slipping and sliding even squin after he scored a touchdown ran toward the back of the end zone to kind of go around before Lane Johnson greeted him and he almost did a little slip he kind of caught himself so it was just it was a rough night for the field the officials these last two nights are throwing Flags left and right but I I I want to get to the game and a little good bad and ugly with both teams obviously the best is winning that's the whole point of the sport so regardless how good how bad how ugly if you win a game especially when your plane flight is 8 hours to the destination you feel pretty good about yourself week one's a big deal you've had nine months especially a team like the eagles they don't play any of their starters and uh Jaylen Herz open the game with just a horrendous pick down the middle of the field uh into like double coverage that was an easy interception toward the end of the game he threw one of the worst interceptions you can possibly throw I don't pretend to be Bill Walsh or Kyle Shanahan here but it's a basic rule in football when it comes to quarterback play especially in the Red Zone do not throw across your body and he did and it got picked and at the time it was 31 to 26 so if they had just kicked a field goal it would have been 34 to 26 and the play before he easily could have thrown a pick six now the good with Jaylen is when he does get into a rhythm he's a beautiful deep ball thrower he has good touch on balls that kind of loop in the air I would not say that he has a super strong arm on in terms of just throwing bullets but anytime you get a deeper breaking route and he can set his feet he's pretty accurate and he did that consistently all night to AJ Brown hit Goddard a couple times Devonte Smith this is why I like the eagles even if you have some question marks with them their talent on offense is just kind of stupid saquin went 24 for 109 in three touchdowns tonight AJ Brown had 5 for 119 Devonte Smith had 7 for 84 and GED at four catches like all those guys make BigTime coin in including the quarterback and many guys on the offensive line so their offensive skill guys even when he's throwing picks are so explosive that they're going to be able to score 25 to 30 points pretty easily we talked about it last night with Kansas City last year and everyone's been saying this if you're going to get them you should have got them last year because it was hard for them to score points well it's not going to be hard for them to score points but their often offensive Weaponry obviously Patrick Mahomes is dramatically better than Jaylen but in terms of the skill around him that's about as good as you get I mean AJ Brown and Devonte Smith You could argue are one of the better one-w combinations and we talked about this in the offseason when we were watching Hard Knocks I understand the philosophical belief of we don't pay older running running backs it's very very risky I I I totally get it but when John Mara said I don't know if I can sleep at night if he goes to the Eagles everyone's like that's how a fan talks well yeah kinda but he also knows that's our best player and that's the best organization in our division so if a shitty team is willing to overpay your running back yeah maybe you should question yourself like is this like let him go I I totally understand it you don't need I guess you don't need to question yourself but the Eagles who are about as well-run as any team in the league when it comes to picking and signing players are very very interested because of as we've talked about in both the running backs on you know Jacobs included they are now a discount right I Brandon auk cost $30 million a year you had to give them $75 million guaranteed actually I think it was 76 saquan Barkley's total of his contract guaranteed and non-guaranteed money was $37 million over 3 years so it's now a discount right you know Buy Low sell High well now on running backs who are really really good as is saquan you saw tonight like very very explosive and it's not like he's just a speedback he is a physical player he obviously can catch the ball had a receiving touchdown he's a dynamic player and it completely changes their offense now the thing with Jaylen is he's an interesting player because obviously he's talented and he's going to put up big numbers but he's not near the top dogs and I think when you look back two years ago with Shane siken a little bit of an outlier as you saw tonight like he puts the ball In Harm's Way I think it's fair to question his decisionmaking I I would not put him near the top as a great decisionmaker the the first interception you could go well didn't play in the preseason a little rusty let's even chocked that one up but down the stretch of the game when you have a lead he easily could have thrown now the second one if he would have thrown the pick six the next play would not have happened obviously but then later on the next drive he almost threw another pick to J Alexander where he was right in front of AJ Brown and I think sometimes when he's flustered he just makes poor decisions luckily they're so explosive and they're scoring so many points that they can overcome it and the Packers defense who we'll get into in a minute is obviously not great but I I think Jaylen is just obviously his good is really good and his bad is really bad like you saw tonight some MVP I don't even MVP like Pro Bowl level place and you saw like Daniel Jones level place and it's going to be on Kell Moore and it's going to be on the coaching staff to try to Corral that but I do think it's going to be kind of difficult so when I look at the Eagles like I I didn't pick him to win the division I picked the Cowboys and I guess we'll see Dak play on Sunday but like I think Dak I I am more confident in on the Long Haul of his play Jaylen is a little bit more of a roller coaster and you saw tonight the full package you saw the Good Bad and the Ugly series to series and I think one thing is Jaylen can't play like he's pton Manning that's not his style and I think deep he wants just I just want to be a pocket quarterback he's not as fast obviously as Lamar but what makes Lamar a top five quarterback is not his throwing he's a fine thrower but when he has to win within the pocket that's not his thing it's that he's a dominant dual threat quarterback and I think ever since two years ago toward the end of the season Jaylen the year that he was competing to win the MVP and then had the really good Super Bowl he was a real real dual threat player and if you watched him at Oklahoma when he ran he'd like turned into a running back he's not super fast but he's just a super instinctive Runner and you saw tonight he's really powerful but I don't think he really wants to do it anymore he did it a couple times at the end of the game but throughout the course of the game it feels like those days are kind of over like deep down Jaylen and this happened to Russell like I want to prove I can be a pocket quarterback and I I just don't think that's the way to play him I I really don't now if you scheme the perfect play because of their talent it's going to work but over the course of a game things are going to break down he kind of holds the ball a little bit long he can keep plays alive because he's mobile but sometimes when he does that he gets into just awful situations so I listen I I'm not saying you're down on Jaylen Herz if you're an eagle fan or if you're Hoy I'm not saying you're high on him you're just kind of like whoa this is this is going to be a roller coaster ride luckily our team's pretty stacked now we talked about it coming into this game defensively is their defensive line needed to dominate well as this game went on they they've invested two real high picks into Jordan Davis and Jaylen Carter two blue chippers I mean Jaylen if it wasn't for all the offs the field question marks would have been a lock number one overall pick non-quarterback and I I have to think who was in his draft but the he would have been the first quarterback off the board but he fell to ninth for a reason and you watch him the you're like where is he why isn't he dominating Jordan Davis the knock on him last year was weight and they're getting gash tonight by Josh Jacobs even the backup was averaging over 10 yards a carry the Packers ran for 163 yards now 33 of those were on a Jaden Reed uh end round but still I mean I I think part of what made the Eagles really good a couple years ago was their defensive line dominated where's the edge pressure I mean Brandon Graham's older now they paid Huff a lot of money who the question mark with him was being an all-around player how is he against the Run didn't really feel his presence and linebacker play is just going to be a question now they signed Devin white who was supposed to be a plug-and-play player he didn't play tonight so maybe he will help but Michael Lombard's talked about this for a while and listen I I agree when your linebackers don't play super fast sometimes your defense can feel a little slow and against the run their defense felt a little slow now the young guy they drafted Mitchell from Toledo looks like a real really good player but the rest of their DBS I mean it's going to be a challenge if their defensive line does not perform at a much higher rate than this their offense is going to have to score a lot of points because that that was concerning you know listen it's the first week but and the Packers have a lot of juice but man I I just when you draft guys really really high on your front four by year two year three you expect them to be serious impact players throughout the game and I I just didn't feel their presence so Jaylen roller coaster good thing for serani this he didn't really factor in good or bad to this game I I don't blame him for those Jaylen decisions you know Kellen does a good job scheming Guys open but man you just can't make some of those decisions ISS and you as a coach like once the ball snapped and a guy scrambling to his right like you've drilled it in a million times you don't think Sabin told him that Lincoln Riley's told him that I think his dad was his high school coach like he's heard it for a long period of time you can't make that play especially this many years into your career regardless how much you make I mean that's that's football 101 but even with all these question marks with his turnovers I think the tush push clearly is not the same definitely not the same and you lose one of if not the greatest Center of all time definitely the best center of his generation feels different obviously the snap at the end of the game uh they're not on the same page they had a fumbled snap early in the game where Jen wasn't paying attention clearly it wasn't supposed to be snaap then that that's just something to keep an eye on because I would say their cohesion Center to quarterback was as good as a got it was like the Stephen Clay version of quarterback Center exchange and now that's gone and I I think we underestimate that because it's hard to quantify right it's easy to quantify losing a running back a tight end a wide receiver but like what happens when you lose the greatest Center in the history of the franchise who was a huge part of one of the most unique plays we've ever seen and we felt it tonight it's simply not the same but with all that being said you'll take a win no matter how many question marks and crazy things happen throughout the game the Packers I'm as high on Jordan love is anyone I pick them to compete for the NFC because I'm buying stocking this guy and maybe by the time you listening to this he said after the game assuming his ankles all right that his calf was giving him a lot of trouble and he wasn't able to plant and throw and drive the ball but I would say for like half his throws especially in the second half it felt like he was watching an Aaron Rogers in the prime of his career teach tape which no one should do because no one can really do that throwing falls off the back of his feet all over the place he was extremely irratic I I thought for stretches in the third quarter he was awful which is concerning one just the health of the player but like we we can't have this Loosey Goosey just kind of flinging it all over the place with our feet not being set you have a good arm but it's one thing to throw the ball off your back feet because you're getting pressure it's another thing with a clean pocket and just being too cool for school like that's why the ball is not going to go where it's supposed to go and I thought Jordan love the second half of the game now maybe it was his calf cramping up maybe it was just who knows I'm not a doctor I I haven't seen the press conference yet but that was bad it it was just not good and they were playing winning football because they were running the ball down the Eagles throats and their wide receivers even slipping and sliding all over the field were getting open th those young wide receivers Reed Wicks Watson uh that's a that's an encouraging group Tucker craft it's hard not to like their group of young skill guys but Jordan love I you know you get you get paid a lot of pressure on you like we still need you to just have some basic footwork here obviously he knows it but he's just kind of like too cool for school and the balls like if he was a baseball pitcher you would have yanked him in the fourth or the fifth inning obviously I'm not saying you would have pulled him out of the game but like balls are flying all over the map and I I think both these running backs back to the market both these teams bought low on running backs relative to all these other positions and those two guys are studs Josh Jacobs and saquon Barkley I mean when they're humming they're top five running backs obviously saquon's probably a top two or three I think Josh Jacobs I said for years he might even be more complete than saquan he's not as fast but he is a very very good player and when you're quarterback both these two teams just a radic quarterback play like the one thing on Thursday night Lamar was a little up and down but he could always make up for it when he's like it I'm gonna run uh I'm gonna run for 30 yards and look like Barry Sanders or Walter pton now that's not the way he played I was texting with a buddy tonight in the league he's like listen he is tough to play but that is not a sustainable way to play but in an individual game situation sometimes you got to do it Jordan Love by the end of the game and might have been his calf couldn't even wasn't even that mobile but even when he stay in the pocket he wasn't very accurate so it was just if you're a Packer fan it's not not total freakout Time by any means but it was not a very good game that that that looked much more like over the course of the game like the first half of last year than it did the second half of last year when he became $150 million player and this is what what I always say why it's so hard to become a star because becoming a star is not doing something for a year and even though I like I projected him to keep being good I I bought into it how could you not but we it's it's hard to do it year after year so there's going to be pressure on them one just to get healthy and just play more consistent because with that many skill guys there aren't excuses and here's the other thing like division's tough man so it's this was a road game in Brazil not the end of the world by any means but I think individually when you look at him makes you scratch your head a little bit and then last but not least I talked about it coming into this game on F on Thursday's podcast the defense the defense the defense and you hire Jeff Halley who like listen with Vic fangio like he has a long resume of doing this and they're paying him $5 million for a reason they feel very confident he knows what he's doing now whether that actually comes to fruition over the course of the Season only time will tell but Jeff Halley has been a defensive coordinator in the NFL zero years of his career he's been a defensive coordinator at a power five College one year of his career and I'm pretty sure he's the co-defensive coordinator now there is a chance like they've gone through a lot of defensive coordinators over the Rogers and love era now and most of their defenses have looked pretty similar Miss tackles DBS running behind guys and getting gashed in the Run game so there is a chance it's the players they've invested a lot of money obviously Kenny Clark's a really good player and uh so is ran Gary but it feels like the defense reminded me a lot of the previous couple years when the Green Bay Packer fans were like get this Joe Barry guy off my sideline which I understand as a fan when you watch an offense or defense suck you want that coordinator gone no different than a player like this guy can't play let's draft another guy there is no guarantee that the guy you draft is going to be any better and Jeff Halley like I the jury's still out because tonight they were getting shredded and I like I don't give them that much credit for some of the interceptions Jaylen Herz is throwing it right to you right just awful decision making so I I think if you're a Packer fan Lor's proven Jordan Love's proven that they can mentally handle some bumps in the road they did it last year I would feel pretty good about over the course of the year as long as love is healthy that our offense will be better and they scored 29 Points tonight and actually had a couple awful Red Zone trips I mean they easily could have scored 40 if they were better in the Red Zone but the defense man I mean if you're an eagle fan it's like we've like we got some big ass dudes up front let's figure something out here you're the Packers you're like can any of our guys play in our back seven qu Walker made a couple plays but like are guys good enough and does our coordinator know what he's doing our divisions really hard the expectations for this team are high the hype on this guy is high because we stole him he was a head coach in college and he came here it's like this guy's Gonna Save Us and then the first night Eagles run for 144 yards throw for 280 and you're not feeling great you know you're you're really not so this is what the cool part about the last two nights you're watching four teams that should be locked playoff teams with the talent they have but beside the Chiefs Ravens got issues Eagles defense has some question marks obviously Jaylen and the Packers now the defense looks kind of the same like it looks exactly the same and I I think that is going to be the pressure and the test put on this defensive coordinator like can he fix it because we've seen this before well this next guy's going to fix it and then he can't so to me for the Packers who I thought were a Super Bowl Contender no chance like if if you're going to play defense even in this in this world it's not it's not possible and to me on the Eagles to be a Super Bowl Contender obviously Jaylen cannot turn the ball over in these big spots but it's like is their linebacker play good enough and beside the rookie DB can they cover well enough because it it is difficult in this modern-day NFL like the one the huge Advantage the Chiefs have is their great cover team they have DBS four days what's a Passing League so it's like perfectly made and they have the greatest quarterback so you're like well they got the greatest quarterback and they got a great pass defense it's like kind of works I mean that's kind of the formula in 2024 you know in 1996 you better be able to run the ball and you better be able to stop the run I'm watching the Packers tonight now listen it's a tough match AJ Brown Devonte Smith those two guys are making a lot of money but they had no shot I mean it should have been worse so little overreaction week one big game but that's part of the deal especially like we're not watching the Giants and Panthers here the these are two teams that have like NFC championship Super Bowl aspirations and these are their players right it's not like reinforcements ain't coming like Deion Sanders or Warren Sapp or like these players ain't walking through the door in the middle of the season that's not the way it works so you either coach these guys up or you have this deficiency that you try to overcome

wanted to dive in something that I saw Chiefs are Lamar's kryptonite today that I didn't get to notice because when we go and record right after the game it's not like we sit and wait for the press conferences and everything to come out to then dissect I mean this is kind of the game ends and the record button and I'm firing off takes uh and thoughts on the game within I would say no more than five to seven minutes so it's pretty rapid fire and then when I'm laying in bed scrolling around you you see all these comments from the Ravens and everyone's just crushing them essentially calling them delusional and I want to defend the Ravens for a little bit because I think anyone can relate to this when you are chasing someone and I would say most of us in our different lines of work are always chasing someone or something there's always people ahead of you more than likely in an industry uh if you run a company company's doing better than you if it's individual positions people you aspire to be and the only way to get there obviously you got to work hard you got to produce I do believe you got to be a little delusional I I I think if most of us and I throw myself in there if I just listed on a weekly basis my career aspirations my financial aspirations you would probably think I was a delusional lunatic and I would imagine if I put a mic in front of your mouth and ask for the same especially someone very competitive someone very aspirational someone that wants to achieve a lot you might sound crazy too to a lot of people so when the Ravens lose and Lamar says they're not my cryptonite I believe we scored a touchdown Isaiah likele that's if that's their best shot good luck to them in the future meaning we'll see in the playoffs again it's easy for everyone to take a giant dump on everything they're saying but doesn't bother me as much I don't like delusion when you are have no success and you have no chance of success in the near future so when bad teams top craziness as the season goes on it's like you guys are out in the wilderness but the Ravens are good and over the Lamar era they've been really good the problem for them has been these big games obviously the Chiefs and just other Playoff games but the only way that they're ever going to get over the from a mental standpoint is believe they can win and before you can actually do something you have to kind of believe it now I don't think this version of Lamar can beat the Chiefs and I do believe there is Kryptonite why because he can't throw on them there was a period during the game last night Collinsworth mentioned this his average throw length was like one yard past the line of scrimmage it ain't going to work you have to hit these big plays or just bigger chunk plays and they can't just be these freak lucky you hit Isaiah likeley which is a good pass and a good play but then he does the rest like part of what makes the Chiefs and gives their advantage over good teams is they can sustain a drive at any moment throwing the ball and Lamar simply against the best cannot he makes up for it and keeps you in games like last night with his exceptional athleticism and running ability it's like he turns into Barry Sanders it's remarkable to watch and I saw a lot of people today nitpicking if he takes too many hits and over the course of time I agree but I it doesn't feel like he gets hit hard that many times I know he's part of collisions but I I would tend to agree you can't sustain running around getting hit but you have to be delusional you really do and I think their franchise the only way to get past the big dogs specifically the Chiefs is they're going to have to have this only they're going to believe because if they play again in January one they're going to be the underdog and two nobody and I mean nobody is going to pick them to win or believe they can win outside of that Ravens locker room and I would imagine there will even be some people inside the Ravens like can we really do this but if their best players aren't delusional about their opportunity to figure this thing out they got no chance right just like if you don't believe in yourself good luck in life right because trust me a lot of people not only don't care that they're not thinking about you or believing in you so you have to have the most belief in your success I I believe that uh big time and listen are their comments to the Casual person kind of crazy given what we've witnessed these last two games of course they are but like this team's aspirations as a franchise and there one of the more uh clearly higher level franchisees in the league Lamar has flaws but he's still a better player than like 98% of the league just happens the gap between him and Mahomes is pretty wide and it's not really debatable at this point flawed player but luckily his flaw uh like the Chiefs have been the team that can really take advantage of it maybe they get a chance where the Chiefs get knocked out in the second round by someone else they don't have to play him I I don't know how it plays out I I'm not betting on this Ravens team winning a Super Bowl but if they don't believe they can what's the point of even doing this and I also think when you work really hard to do something and you spend months as a football player right you lose a devastating game in the AFC Championship game at home and then you basically have nine months to think about it every day you're training uh you have OTAs and then you have training camp all you're talking about is this game especially the starters like they're not discussing the preseason everything from the moment the pads come on in training camp to even working on in the OTAs is built for that moment and then you lose like it it sucks but you kind of got to warp your mind you can't just wave the White Flag some people might push back on that uh but but I wasn't like thinking these guys are insane for having what many believe to be delusional beliefs because I I think you kind of have to to ever ACH to ever give yourself an opportunity to achieve anything uh I I wanted to just hit on a bunch of stuff this weekend I was John's Weekend 6 Pack thinking about like you know what I haven't done in a while is like grab a six-pack you know the older you get you think back you're like God simpler times you know you're just young you just grab a sixpack each with a buddy and you just cash it while you watch some TV uh and I was thinking like let's do a little weekend six-pack of things on Sunday that I am looking forward to and I'm looking forward to like anyone the best part about week one is even the bad games are very watchable cuz we don't really know we have a decent idea but some teams are going to be better than we thought some teams are going to be worse than we thought but everyone starts at a z00 slate and anything's possible and as I talked about with Stucky week one can get weird and it can get weird fast I saw this clip go viral from Belichick on Caleb Williams inside the NFL which bellich has joined with oo Chris long and I think Ryan Clark and I I I want you to listen to something that belich said that I think you know went pretty viral on the internet streets whoever they played against in preseason it wasn't the best players on the other team so what you're saying is coach we can't plan a parade because Caleb was so accurate in the preseason well it wasn't accurate it was 10 for 20 yeah it's like you didn't watch the 20 throws yeah come on there's a reason he's excited 20 throws Chad Buzz through you got to think how good the 10 were that were completed you know the extended plays the a couple highlight plays they weren't that good first and foremost I think everyone's like damn it's kind of crushing Caleb well Old School coaches don't get on their knees and slurp somebody that's a rookie I I don't care who it is you have to prove it I'm not necessarily in that camp like I'm pretty hyped up but like belich che's not a big hype guy he doesn't give a crap about that and I've been saying this about Caleb I I think we've kind of jumped the shark a little bit there's still a lot of unknown now I get it from a bear stand uh fan standpoint I understand the Bears bar at quarterbacks really low I I totally understand that but I think I I mean Nick wri's picking him to compete for the Super Bowl I I see people picking this guy to be like MVP and them to win the division it's like guys let's just see if like back-to-back weeks when film's out he can beat you from the pocket and I think belich is just saying like those preseason highlight tape uh plays on that he put on tape mean nothing to me now they mean something to me because he has the capability but to be a highlevel team those plays are going to come and they go we knew he had that capability when you watched him play at USC for the Bears to be good and I kind of like Titans this weekend not necessarily to win but three and a half I I think everyone like we just need to pump the breaks on the Bears a little bit because I always say playing as a rookie quarterback and then you quadruple the hype on it is really really hard to live up to like ultimately CJ strad who had one of the great rookie Seasons we've ever seen I think statistically the best kind of got to fly under the radar despite being a number two overall pick because everyone thought his team was going to suck and that's how most young guys get to play right they get to just even Bo Knicks the over runner for the Denver Broncos like five and a half and most people if you just pulled like the average football fan I think the Broncos be pretty as the kids would say mid pretty average below 5 so if he has some good games some bad games be like a b knck is really uh might have something there where it's like if Caleb Williams has been competing to be a pro bowler immediately it's gonna feel like a let down in Chicago so when belich comments everyone's like geez such a hater he's just saying like I watched the guy throw some balls in the pocket and it didn't look great and all he has to go on now he's only played one you know he skipped the bowl game so he doesn't play a game till some of these preseason games and then he's going up against a defenses and backups so I I think everyone's just expecting three or four touchdowns and that might be the case that'll be fun to watch but I think it's a little more difficult than the way the discourse is going so I if belich is going to like throw some zingers and talk a little I'm all in eBay Motors is here for the ride you know the first car I ever got I was 16 years old and my grandpa gave me a ride and like any young lad who got a car that let's face it would not have been my first choice I had to touch it up a little bit and we tinted out the windows we added a big subwoofer to the back and you could hear me from Miles Away coming home my my parents sure loved me for that one so did my neighbors but I think the key to any young person getting a car is to personalize a little bit cuz you're probably not going to get your dream car and as you get older you know you kind of become a car person or you don't but you definitely have preferences right some of us like bigger cars I know I do i' I've only had big cars SUVs and uh there are certain non-negotiables I I just like I like three rows of seats now ideally I don't have kids right now so I take out that third row of seat and I like a big you know I like a lot of trunk room some people you know don't like s like smaller cars I I've never been that big since my high school car of tinning the windows I don't care if you see me or not but I know some people like first thing they do is tint the windows it's crazy the older you get you know I I had to have the subwoofers I I the subwoofer I couldn't listen to music for 5 minutes with a subwoofer like I did when I was younger but there is something very very special about that first car I don't care how many cars you get since how much money you make to get sweeter cars you never quite forget that first ride and uh some of the

quarterbacks another game I like is the Broncos this week not to win the game but they're getting six points and I I think just one of the more fascinating stories a lot like Caleb and the Bears is just Shawn pton in this quarterback like how does it look does it actually work as seamlessly like the other one difference between Caleb and Bo Knicks is like Bo Knicks in the preseason succeeded running a lot of the stuff Shawn Peyton's gonna ask him to do quick throws in the pocket snap go you know Caleb's success came with kind of running around and making plays which again my comp Forum has always been like Prime Russell Wilson not true pocket quarterback like run around and you can win and make the playoffs with that version but the guy they won the Super Bowl with was really much more of a game manager who who occasionally would do some spectacular but Bo Nicks is GNA play much more like you know historically not I'm not comparing him to Drew Brees here but ball snapped balls out pretty quick and this is a tough test on the road Spirits are high in Seattle that place will probably probably be rocking I would imagine raising that 12 uh I'm just fascinated to watch kind of this team Opera and Shawn who I've watched a decent amount of his press conferences during this uh during training camp pretty upbeat I I think he likes his team and it's one thing for a coach that's never done anything to like his team like this guy kind of has a decent idea what a good and a bad team looks like and last year part of it was he clearly did not like Russell Wilson I mean let's look back on that remember the discourse in the conversation when he screamed at Russell Wilson it's like you can't do that you can't he's a coach as the player we've been watching football depending on how old you are our entire lives isn't that pretty normal I mean Tom Brady and pton Manning screamed at coaches like this the big leagues Ros Wilson's making 40 plus million dollars John Peyton's making 1820 you're allowed to yell at him especially when you don't think he's any good now I think the question mark is the Pittsburgh game like Russell's we'll see if he ends up playing in that game cuz the calf injures back number three the much awaited it's Jim Harbaugh's return been a long long time and I lived in the Bay Area when the 49ers mutually departed with Jim Harbaugh it's probably one of the bigger stories on a negative side in the history of the Bay Area I mean the 49ers got torched for it and I I listen they regretted it for a while and Kyle and John kind of saved the day but then Jim went to Michigan and in a weird way felt like he was underwhelming because he wasn't like competing to win national championships he couldn't beat Ohio State and these last couple years kind of validated it all and now he's back and now he has a quarterback now is his team good enough um I don't know but I do believe one there is there's just zero chance on God's green earth you could bet against Jim Harbaugh and Justin Herbert against Antonio pi and Gardner muu so he he has a clear advantage in this first game and I expect the Chargers to win and I'm just glad that we're going to have Jim kind of walking up and down an NFL sideline Tom Brady's first game broadcasting uh number four this has got to be the most anticipated broadcast debut in a long long time uh anytime the Cowboys play week one it's a highly anticipated game for a lot of the last 20 years cuz the Giants had been good it felt like the Giants and Cowboys played a lot on Sunday Night Football and now they're playing the Cleveland Browns who last year made the playoffs had a fantastic year have a really good team even though they're a little banged up in that game alone like me and you could be calling it and people would be interested uh I like the Cowboys in that game simply because quarterback Advantage Dallas and there's some question marks with the Cleveland's offensive line um I would expect Mike Zimmer in that defense to be pretty good but to me this game it feels different because Tom Brady's calling it and is he GNA be good I I sure hope so uh because like most people you end up watching with the sound on regardless how many TVs you have a lot of Sunday afternoon fox games and it's going to be you know we'll see how he can navigate some of these restrictions maybe he won't give a I hope he just is himself obviously he knows football I think he has this incredible way to balance like being relatable despite being super famous Super Rich you know he's at least in America I don't know worldwide like he's like our male Taylor Swift or something in terms of his Fame but can he balance like being pretty entertaining people can say Gruden's a little sticky and he can be but I've watched some of his YouTube videos him just showing me his office Gruden can keep my attention and he kind of has that John Madden magic he's different than JN but he's just camera's on lights are on the dude's a showman and Tom always was as a player and him and pton obviously have done a lot of ads over the years so they they've played that role in that in the commercial standpoint but calling a game the pressure I mean you're going to have 25 million people watching this thing easy uh it'll be interesting to see the reaction everyone's going to have an opinion to me I I all these guys know football like I I'm not looking for you to break down the coverage every play most people do not care we want to be entertained and the two best entertainers by a mile were John Madden who's the best of all time and listen hate him or love him like guden was good at his job there was a reason they were paying him $10 million a year and Monday night fell off a cliff when he took the Raiders job because he was entertaining and this is not about like this job breaking it down to the hard hardcore that wants to know every route like you can't get too into the weeds in football it's too confusing for like the the 29 million people that watched the game last night on Thursday Night Football couldn't tell you five routes on the route tree couldn't tell you the difference of a three technique and a nose tackle I they just can't and it doesn't matter that's not what makes football enjoyable like cleworth just kind of has a good time you know he's just he's just an enjoyable hang I think Troy Aman has kind of got a swag back he's just an easy hang obviously you can do some nerdy football stuff but like part of it is like you're an Entertainer and I I think Payton is really good at this uh but like his thing with Eli is a little more looser and doing a game is a little different short bites it's hard and I know they've practiced a lot but there there just going to be a lot of people watching there going to be a lot of opinions on his Fading the Dolphins performance I was kicking myself last night I I thought about trying to get my $5,000 that the Raven stole from me in that AFC Championship game and I was going to live bet the Chiefs and I I I didn't pull the trigger uh to get my 5K back I was like yeah still kind of risky trying to do a backyard I got to redo the pool we got a wedding coming up but I do want my money back back so I think what I'm going to do is take $1,000 and bet on my favorite moneyline team or you know my favorite Underdog and just put the money on them straight up and there were three games that jumped out to me Dallas on the road in Cleveland uh Pittsburgh on the road in Atlanta and the Jags on the road with the dolphins and I kind of ended up like Cleveland can be a tough place to play and obviously Pittsburgh quarterback situations up in the air uh not a huge Atlanta guy but that that and I understand tomlin's one of the great underdogs in betting history but that's probably just going to be a stay away from me so it kind of came down between the Cowboys and the Jags and I think I've settled on the Jags and I don't like the Dolphins this year I don't think they're gonna win two games but I I think their playoff days are over and I I don't like if you just look at the Jags and you go well a huge Advantage for Miami early in the season is what they play outside and it's humid and most people aren't used to the Florida crazy humidity especially some of these teams coming from different areas in the country well where the Jags play Florida two I understand like I like Peter Sher I I like Kevin Clark a lot those guys love Mike McDaniel I like M McDaniel as an Entertainer I think he says funny and he clearly knows football right he's he's a very very good offensive mind Kyle Shanahan loved him for a reason and he's been good for Tu but he hasn't really won that many big games he actually you could argue hasn't won any and so if you look at the two coaches you go well Doug Peterson's record his resume speaks for itself I mean you bich in a playoff game and I got a lot of question marks with these two quarterbacks but I don't think the gap's that wide if you tell me Trevor lawren just outplays Tua so what I think I'm going to do you can get the Jags right now plus 140 as a of uh as of Friday I I I think I'm going to put a little coin on the old Jags to win straight up in that game and then we'll just kind of let it ride for a couple weeks and see what we can build up to uh last but not least let's cash this Overreacting to Week 1 games bad boy the craziest part about week one is at the end of the day it doesn't determine much right the Chiefs lost week one last year they won the Super Bowl won three straight games on the road as a dog so week one does not make or break your season a couple years ago the 49ers went to the NFC championship game they lost on the road the Chicago Bears and Justin field with Trey Lance by the end of the year Brock perie was starting and helping them make a run things changed dramatically in the NFL it's why all these coaches talk about the 53 man cutdown like I think we get two caught up now in the 53 The Season's a game longer our practice squads way bigger a lot of these practice squad guys will eventually be on the big roster and half of them be starters by middle to the end of the year so the team all this stuff's so fluid because of the injuries but because of the setup of football you only play once a week like I always had a hard time when I worked in radio I was like the big baseball game the night but John this is game 94 it actually doesn't mean anything so if this if the ace goes nine innings awesome if he gets shelled and they yank him after three it doesn't determine much and that's part of the reason baseball has fallen out of the landscape of all of us talking about it because it's not it's a bad talk radio sport it's a bad podcast sport football is made for this because every game means so much and when you have an entire offseason and everyone has hope there are going to be some teams that just look a atrocious and whether everyone thought you were going to be bad or whether you're a team like the Bears and you lose to the Titans or whoever you know the Giants were to lose to Minnesota at home people just freak out and there's going to be a team or two like it's one thing to lose the Ravens lost that's a loss you can keep your head up you lost by a touchdown you didn't cover but whatever I mean you you right there at the end and it's against the Chiefs but there are going to be some losses by double digits where it's like you guys looked like and I think the problem with that is and this where the fans and whoever's covering your team and it's like you've had nine months to get ready for this game and you lay an egg I love overreactions or proper reactions when a team just gets housed and worked in week one it's one thing listen you're going to get beat you're G to have lay eggs throughout the season when that happens on week one fair or not people react to it like your season's over before it even began
