00:00:00 - 00:01:03 | Speaker 1:

You know you rock when you roll with the Seahawks Marshawn Lynch, Beast Moe with his dreadlocks Rolls and passes the ball to the endzone touchdown you know we're gonna get the crown in super bowl 24 team we get the ring the bling listen to the crowd sing seahawks seahawks seahawks we block that offense to say we'll lose to such an offense and nonsense we got the best defense being the other quarterback comes with the expense of the act of being sacked to hope the broncos have enough time to react to the level of game the hawks are bringing that evening a super bowl sunday because they're gonna go all the way for the win starting when the game begins all the way to the end of the game and to go down in fame as the Super Bowl champions of this year. This team should be feared.

00:01:04 - 00:01:09 | Speaker 4:

You better saddle up when you roll with Seattle. Broncos seem like some old cattle left in the field after a cut.

00:01:09 - 00:01:35 | Speaker 3:

All right, here we go with another TBTL, no point conversion, here on this Monday when some good things happened on Sunday and some bad things happened on Sunday for our teams. Last week, we started talking about the Browns and how things weren't great so that we could end on a high note. We may need to invert that this week, Andrew, because, well, Browns did okay, but the Seahawks sure didn't.

00:01:36 - 00:02:17 | Speaker 2:

Yeah, it was actually there were some similarities between how both of these teams played last week and this week. Last week, the Browns lost their game. The Seahawks won theirs, but both offenses looked really sharp, and both teams looked really good. And so even though the Browns lost, there was a lot of promise there. this week in these two games as you said Seahawks lose Browns win but also a lot of the spark that we saw especially in in the Seahawks wasn't there but also the Browns had major defensive issues as well like they were both of these games yesterday were kind of slogs uh after I don't know kind of setting our expectations pretty high last week well let's talk about the Seahawks first so like

00:02:17 - 00:03:34 | Speaker 3:

literally we can end on something more positive it was uh you know it was a very weird game to me One, because I was listening to half of it on the radio as I was driving across Texas. So, you know, just I didn't actually see a lot of the plays in the first half. And then I got here to Katy and then I was able to find a local sports bar that had all of the football games on. So I could go over and watch it there and also have the locals stare at me with confusion as I wore a mask indoors. But anyway, so I watched the second half of the game. So it's kind of like a little bit broken up in my mind. Also, I mean, one of the big takeaways or one of the big things was the Seahawks just got hit with these really bad penalties. I mean bad in that they were – it was terrible timing. And I actually think arguably – well, one of them was – I thought the taunting call was kind of BS. Like, you know, maybe it's the letter of the law, but there was a play. I think it was Reed, right, who basically like broke up a pass in the end zone and then got up and then said something. And that was 15 yards. I guess that led to a field goal probably, and then there was another critical – there was a hands-to-the-face that Jamal Adams committed that I think extended a drive, and then there was one more. What was the other one? I think it was a roughing.

00:03:34 - 00:03:36 | Speaker 2:

Wasn't there a roughing the passer, or am I confusing my games?

00:03:37 - 00:03:59 | Speaker 3:

Yeah, well, I think that Jamal Adams was roughing. It wasn't hands-to-the-face. It was helmet-to-helmet, and that was actually a pretty bad hit from Jamal Adams, although I always think in those situations, I don't even know if the if the defensive player is trying to go helmet to helmet or it's just football is a hard sport where both people are moving around a lot and you're getting blocked. And it's almost like sometimes I think it's unavoidable, you know?

00:04:00 - 00:05:23 | Speaker 2:

Yeah, I go back. Well, I mean, I think it's a case by case thing. We're watching a violent sport that we probably shouldn't really be supporting. So always got to caveat that. But there are times when you're watching an NFL game and you're thinking like, well, that was unavoidable. Like if we're going to agree to play this sport, you have to keep in mind that people are these very large people are moving very quickly. And just because the ball leaves a hand in a split second doesn't mean you can stop your trajectory. There are other times, though, like I was this just coincidentally, I happen to be sitting at the bar. Well, that wasn't a coincidence, but I was sitting at a bar, I don't know, a couple of weeks ago when I want to say the Gophers were playing Ohio State University. And there was this obvious targeting call where a where a defender came flying in from Ohio State. And it looked like I mean, just helmet to helmet and knock this other kid, this this Minnesota kid. It almost looked like he potentially could have even lost consciousness for a second. And they reviewed it and called it not. targeting and in that case and i wasn't i don't have a vested interest in either one of those teams like really um and but it just seems so obvious to me i'm just like what are you doing you have to call that and like so anyway i i think it is a case-by-case basis and sometimes people get it right and sometimes people get it wrong that am i picturing this particular tackle um correctly it looked like it was adams and there was also somebody maybe hitting the quarterback

00:05:23 - 00:07:02 | Speaker 1:

from behind and he was almost sandwiched maybe i'm yes there was two there was two people that were converging on Tannehill and one of them was Jamal Adams and he basically just went like helmet his helmet hit Tannehill's helmet and that was a roughing call and that was pretty critical too um so but I also was kind of thinking we had these some really unfortunate penalties but we also I thought in most of those cases they didn't lead directly to touchdowns they uh in fact you know after that Jamal Adams said we still were able to make Tennessee punt in overtime um you know after that particular set of downs and so you know we had a chance uh we had a chance to win in overtime I mean the the I guess the story on this game was the Seahawks were leading by what felt like a lot but then somehow just kept leaving the door slightly ajar and you know I don't think Tennessee is a bad team I mean anytime you have Derrick Henry you have a chance because I mean that guy is just a total beast and he did get one of those 70 yard touchdown he had two touchdowns and what was it like 150 something yards maybe more by the end of it all Tannehill seems like a pretty competent quarterback you've got uh julio jones like you know they've got a allegedly a fairly stout defense like the the story was the seahawks let one get away which is absolutely what happened but i didn't i don't know i i was not as devastated by this as uh like a lot of other people were just seemed like we played a pretty good team we were leading and then they came back and and they got us in the end i mean it was unfortunate but we did have some pretty decent moments I mean it wasn't like we laid a total egg we just I mean offensively we really we had some pretty sparkling plays I guess also we couldn't get the run game going right so was

00:07:02 - 00:09:03 | Speaker 2:

that sort of the big thing that seems well I don't know if that was the big thing but yes there was no run game which is a disappointment because I think Chris Carson can excel at that role when given the opportunities but it just there was just no traction there I do wonder if part of it was not seeing the first half too or maybe it being an inverse of what the Seahawks usually do which is the Seahawks had a good first half now that you say that I'm thinking about thinking about Derrick Henry they really contained Henry in the first half I remember thinking that like I was like wow they're really containing him that's really good um and so maybe that's where the disappointment set is sets in too because you know the Seahawks it's frustrating but in so many classic seahawks wins they don't really have control of the game and then at the end wilson and the offense are clutch and and the defense might you know force a turnover and then it's kind of a clutch team and then we win at the last minute and this time you know the seahawks it looked like they were going to be the new seahawks where they just rack up a bunch of points and they win comfortably like they did last week and like i think a lot of people would like to see and then they just gave it up though in the in the second half i was really surprised Like, I mean, this team, after watching them for whatever, it's been a decade now, they have me conditioned to think, yeah, Russell's got this. Even going into overtime, even going into overtime, knowing that we weren't going to have the ball first, I was still like, you know, it's tough. I'm not saying that I was, like, just sitting there chill. Like, obviously, like, it's a stressful sports moment and the moments that we kind of hope to have. We want to be engaged with the sport. We want to be on the edge of our seat. But there's still – it's the Seahawks. Like, I just didn't know – first of all, I didn't know that Tannehill really had anything in him. I mean, I just – like, he was drafted. I just – I know him from watching the HBO – Hard Knocks. Hard Knocks when he was drafted and he was a rookie quarterback for the Miami – was it the – was it Florida? Yeah, he was at Miami. Yeah, the Dolphins.

00:09:03 - 00:09:30 | Speaker 1:

And he was kind of – he kind of flamed out in Miami and then had this really interesting thing happen, which is he went to Tennessee and was kind of reborn and his win percentage is really high at Tennessee, which, again, not to make excuses for the Seahawks because, of course, it was really frustrating because it seemed like we had the game kind of put away. But there's a reason why Ryan Tannehill has a really high winning percentage at Tennessee. It's because they're a good team. They've won a lot of games with the combination of him and Derrick Henry.

00:09:31 - 00:10:34 | Speaker 2:

I don't know enough. This is where I, on our sports show, just say, I would like to listen to another sports show where people can bring stuff down for me, because obviously I don't know enough about the actual fundamentals of the game to know like what defenses should be doing. I can't even I can't read a defense at all, like even based on how many dumb video games, football video games I've played over the years. Like, I can't look at a defense and necessarily know what's going on. But like when you're up and you're trying to, you know, kind of drain. the clock and you're playing prevent defense you're playing really soft like i would like to know more about like when to tighten that up because i mean there were definitely things where i'm like obviously you guys are playing prevent here which is your prevent here i don't know how to say it um but also you don't have anybody who can cover the middle of the field like you're just gonna give up you're just gonna let them take just chunks out like the game was like you said it was not put away and it just seemed like they went to too soft of a defense too early but i also don't know what the hell i'm talking about but it was well it was something to see i always used to say

00:10:34 - 00:11:49 | Speaker 1:

uh the prevent defense only prevents you from winning because like you don't give up a 70 yard pass but you give up yeah i call back to today's tbtl if you're exclusively a no point listener that's a reference to what we said on the other show today um yeah you're not going to give up a 70 yard play but you are going to give up um three 25 yard plays you know which it seems kind of equally bad um I you know this team is so is so weird to me I mean just like the Seahawks team because I feel like every season we have a loss that feels like that was the worst loss we can all remember it's super gutting and then we generally seem to sort of get it together I guess I still feel mostly positive because I do think that our offense I mean even in losing we like we've had games in previous seasons where our offense never even has one play that was as good As we had yesterday And we had those Like really great That completion To Tyler We had both of those Huge passes to Tyler The pass to Freddie Swain That was a touchdown You know we had some We had some good moments And weirdly our defensive line Looked pretty good too Which is you know For years we haven't been able To put a pass rush A pass rush on people So I don't know Who's that huge guy

00:11:49 - 00:12:09 | Speaker 2:

Do you remember Who's that huge guy Who got one sack Near the end of the game Do you have any idea Who I'm talking about He was just a He was an animal Al Woods Yes Yes I was like oh my gosh Like after the sack I was just It was one of those Visceral moments Where I kept on Imagining what it's like To be sacked By a beast like that

00:12:09 - 00:13:22 | Speaker 1:

I feel like what happened Was the Tennessee Titans Pulled a Seattle Seahawks These are the kind of games That we seem to usually win Where we're kind of behind But we just get it together At exactly the right minute And we sort of steal one We get into overtime And they basically They did that to us And it hurts But I guess it feels to me too early to make any sweeping statements about the future of the Seahawks season, other than the fact that we are in a really hard division. So it seems to me like the great likelihood is if we get into the playoffs this year, it would have to be as a wild card. I just don't think we can win the NFC West because of how good everybody else is. And hopefully we can have a good enough record after playing everyone else in the NFC West twice, which is just a bum deal for us, you know, because you play everyone in your conference. You play them home and away, obviously. And if you're in a conference like the NFC West, that's just like, I don't know how many games it works out to, but that's just a bunch of incredibly intense slugfests, you know. Every game with Arizona is going to be a war. Every game with San Francisco is going to be a war. Every game with the Rams. It's just like it's just going to really suck to try to play through the NFC West this year.

00:13:23 - 00:14:47 | Speaker 2:

I know they're really good. It's also week two, though. There's an extra week this year. You're right. Like it's probably it's probably wild card or nothing, but it's it's not a long season. Obviously, it's only it's only 17 games. But like a lot does happen over the course of the season. And while I don't I don't hope for this, but I mean, teams get injured, players get injured, teams get run down. Like it's just too early to say that the Seahawks with the new offensive coordinator whose name I can't remember. Like last week, Shane Waldron, we were really excited to see. Oh, it looks like, you know, we're kind of seeing we're seeing this this new kind of offense come out. And then, yeah, yesterday sucked, like especially especially the two three and outs near the end of the game, the one in overtime. Yeah, those were critical. Yeah. In the fourth quarter. I mean, that was that was exactly what you do not and cannot see from your team. Like that's that's not that's right winning. You're not going to win with that. But listen, that was two drives out of two games in the beginning of a season like the Seahawks could get their spark back, really, you know, start connecting and start just being a more cohesive team from the coaches to the players. I just think it's too early to call for the NFC West which as you say you know like right now every every team except for the Seahawks are 2-0 in the NFC West so we're definitely starting from behind but you know we'll see I'm going to remain a little bit more optimistic I think

00:14:47 - 00:15:00 | Speaker 1:

yeah I think it's going to be a fun season I mean we have the elements of I mean there have been years like I said where it looks like we have no ability to protect Russell Wilson and I don't think that's the case this year even though he did get sacked a couple times So

00:15:00 - 00:15:20 | Speaker 2:

of critically in this game but i still think our offensive line is better it's fun to see our defensive line actually get pressure on quarterbacks there were also years where that wasn't happening um and you know i just i just think uh i think we have i think we have some things going for us as a team that make me think you know we could have a pretty fun season yeah and

00:15:20 - 00:16:13 | Speaker 1:

speaking of i was just gonna say i do i ended on an up note now i'm gonna kind of say a negative thing I want to say that it's not negative about the team I understand the mentality of uh of a Seahawks fan who might feel like yesterday's game seems outsized in the in the broader context of the season and I think it's something that you've addressed on the show in I think last season Luke which is like we're all wondering if Russell has hit his ceiling right like where is Russell in his career right now and i can so i can understand why every game seems even more important every loss seems a little bit more devastating because everybody is wondering has he peaked and is he on the decline now and has the team done everything that it should have done around him during his peak so i i think that plays on on the seahawks fans mentality a little bit sure no that's

00:16:13 - 00:17:26 | Speaker 2:

definitely something that we're all watching for because he has just almost single-handedly won so many games for us and that's just not sustainable so you're always kind of on the lookout for like are we at the top of the mountain with russell wilson um you know and is it gonna when is the decline gonna start and i mean luckily russell wilson is such a smart football player that i feel like he's already started to really kind of like moderate like he um sort of modify his game and will probably continue to i mean when he started out he was just running he was like a kyler murray he would just run so much that was how he would fix things and now he's the best deep ball passer in the game and that's something i think he just set out to like become you know what i mean so i feel like if there's anybody who's going to continue to evolve their game and and be productive it's probably him because it seems to be the only thing he cares about that and making tiktoks with his family i didn't know about that i didn't know about that i don't think i want to know about that they're um they're cute they are like russell wilson they are um completely inoffensive and also not things that are particularly entertaining to me Like Russell Wilson when he's doing anything that's not playing football. Yes, right. Inoffensive and not something I'm particularly interested in. And unlimited. Mr. Unlimited.

00:17:26 - 00:18:21 | Speaker 1:

That is the cringiest piece of tape. It's still just thinking about that. You've got to bring that back. Somebody played, I think it was the Levitard show played that. Mina Kimes, who is like, you know, who lives online, who is a huge Seahawks fan, covers the sport. it like there's every reason why she should have been the first person to know about the unlimited tape but i think it was near the end of last season she was a guest on the levitard show and somehow that whole thing had missed her so i had to relive it again through like her new ears and they kept playing it and like i know that you played just the clip of russell wilson saying unlimited but when you hear the whole thing and how he builds up to it luke it is it is a hundred times worse than the awkward tour boat you talked about on tbtl today it's just like i'm thinking about it now unlimited i'm just kidding oh i'm crawling into myself just thinking about it but

00:18:21 - 00:18:37 | Speaker 2:

anyway you want to talk about the browns so i actually was listening to the browns game uh as i was driving across texas because it was still happening before the seahawks got started so i'm totally up to speed on the local advertisers in cleveland who would like your business um you

00:18:37 - 00:18:41 | Speaker 1:

You could have just been listening to local, because you were in the town we were playing, right? Houston?

00:18:42 - 00:18:52 | Speaker 2:

Oh, yeah. I didn't even think about that. I was near Houston. Yeah, I'm sure it was on the radio where I was, but I was listening to the Cleveland feed. I know they won. They beat the Texans. How did you feel about the game?

00:18:52 - 00:19:59 | Speaker 1:

It was kind of an ugly win. That's what, watching it, you felt that. And afterwards, all of my thoughts were confirmed by, you know, the media write-ups. But a win is a win. I mean, generally speaking, I think we'll take this win. And it was looking very worrisome at times, thinking, my goodness, if the Browns start the season 0-2, that's just such—I cannot tell you the difference between starting the season 1-1 or starting the season 0-2, and maybe especially as a Browns fan, although maybe I can't claim that anymore. But I came into this season more optimistic than I've ever allowed myself to be for the Browns because, you know, the Browns always seemed more than just mismanaged, but also cursed in a certain way. And here we are like the Browns. I mean, they were good last year. They made it to the playoffs for the first time in a long, long, long time. And also they made some, you know, offseason additions to their team that look really good. Jadavian Clowney might ring a bell. And so I just, you know I have spent less time Protecting my feelings about this

00:20:00 - 00:22:55 | Speaker 2:

Browns team this year and I kind of figured looking at the schedule that we will lose game one which we did but played real hard against the Chiefs arguably one of the best teams in baseball in football also probably could kill it at baseball maybe they get speed but but I never thought that we would I didn't really spend a lot of time considering that we would lose to the Texans but when our defense was really sputtering especially at first and then they did get soft again kind of near the end I was like oh my goodness gracious like the Browns they didn't start with the lead they um they they eventually took the lead and I don't think they gave it up once they had it but they just kept letting the margin get too close for a team that was on by the by the second half was on their third string quarterback because Deshaun Watson isn't playing the game because he's awful to women um which means they were starting with Tyrod Taylor who's a former Brown and a quarterback that I really like to watch by the way I have a lot of respect for him um and he's kind of a journeyman at this point but he's one of those mobile quarterbacks and I you know I rooted for him hard when he was when he was starting for the Browns so there's still a little bit of that um but then he got injured Luke that there were so many injuries in this game on both sides of the ball I should mention here I'm on a real rant sorry I'm all over the place but um things started to look really bad when Jarvis Landry our wide receiver left the game uh in the first series i believe he's got a torn mcl now i don't know the difference mcls and acls but that's not good and odell beckham jr mcl is less bad than acl acl is season over i think mcl is you can come back but it'll it'll be a while now we might see obj come back next week because he's been he's been injured but i'm knocking on the door of coming back and And now he's gone, so I'm a little bit concerned. Landry, I should say, is gone, and I'm really concerned about that. Also, it looked like Baker was going to leave the game, too. Baker threw one interception that wasn't really his fault. The rookie wide receiver, Schwartz, kind of stopped in his route and then didn't go after the ball. Once he realized that the ball was not going to be catchable for him, He just stopped and didn't go after the defender who just like picked the ball. And so then Baker is the person who tries to make the tackle on the interception and hurts his left shoulder. And everybody's really celebrating him for really toughing it out. He went into the locker room and then came out, I don't know, 10 minutes later. Less than that, because I don't think he missed a series. But anyway, so and there were just so many injuries again on both sides of the ball. It felt like we were just always in, like, stopped time watching somebody, like, crumpled up on the field, which really sucked. But all of that is to say the Browns pulled it out. We needed this win. It was kind of an ugly win, but you take the win.

00:22:55 - 00:23:18 | Speaker 2:

And there's just so many good things, so many positive, fundamentally good things about this team that I believe that they just need to adjust. And the coaches will adjust and will continue on with this season. I maintain high expectations for the Browns. And also, it's worth noting that right now in the AFC North, it's all tied up. Everybody's won one. Everybody's lost one. Uh-huh.

00:23:18 - 00:23:50 | Speaker 1:

Yeah, I think the Browns just have really good players on both sides of the ball. And I feel like they broke some kind of a curse last year. And I'm with you. They're a good team. And sometimes good teams have to win kind of ugly or win a game that doesn't feel super convincing. In the NFL, you're not going to win every game 53 to 7. And it's almost like sometimes it can be kind of good It's kind of instructive To somehow figure out a way to win a game Even when things aren't clicking So yeah I think you have good reason to be optimistic

00:23:50 - 00:24:08 | Speaker 2:

My biggest concern is Next week It's Browns vs. Bears Which I would love to watch live And heckle our friend Chris Hayes on the text chain But I'm going to miss the games next week I might be able to see a little bit of the Browns game But I'm in a wedding next week as you know And as we've talked about on the show

00:24:08 - 00:24:17 | Speaker 1:

So I know and I don't understand how our friend Nick, who is a sports person himself, would schedule his wedding on a Sunday in the fall.

00:24:17 - 00:24:51 | Speaker 2:

I don't think he's really cared about football in a while now. I don't think. Yeah, I probably made the wise decision that it's just bad for human bodies. Yeah, really black bodies. When we were when we were still doing the night show together, and this is going back to 2013. I remember him on the radio always predicting he says I think the NFL has 30 more years before it goes away and I never really agreed with him on that but yeah I think that he just started to kind of lose interest even when he was here and now he's living in Texas so I just don't think that he really cares about the Seahawks that much or probably the Texans have you considered I know

00:24:51 - 00:25:04 | Speaker 1:

you you you guys are allowed to sort of wear your own outfit uh as you know being in the wedding party did you consider wearing a Browns jersey in the wedding just to Thank you. send kind of a low-key message that this is what you'd rather be doing what if i wore because i do

00:25:04 - 00:25:15 | Speaker 2:

have a bernie kosar jersey what if i wore it underneath my jacket just like a suit like nice suit pants a nice suit jacket but then just a bernie kosar jersey or what if it's just in all

00:25:15 - 00:25:22 | Speaker 1:

the photos or a brown's face mask that looks like a snarling dog or something along those lines and

00:25:22 - 00:25:32 | Speaker 2:

just no comment on it and then just like waiting to see how long it takes nick and rosen to ask you politely to stand out that could solve your problem of of not loving being in photos i i don't

00:25:32 - 00:26:00 | Speaker 1:

think it'll take them long at all to ask me to change it there's been a lot of conversation about making sure everybody's kind of in line with the with the um with the the outfits i want i'm looking at the schedule actually next week really is and i'm not complaining like listen like it's okay for me to miss one football sunday in in five years but man browns versus bears and seahawks versus vikings this is a hell of a weekend between like our it is i know it's gonna and our stew and

00:26:00 - 00:27:02 | Speaker 2:

our other minnesota vikings fans out there which actually there are a lot of them uh i am i just want to just say i'm so sorry for your losses to lose two games the first two games of the season both of them on the last play of the game is that's that's tough yeah that uh is as bummed as i was about the seahawks yesterday uh i was feeling extremely sad for uh the vikes fans out there but yeah it's like so next week i just well i don't know i i'm at somebody who's not superstitious i don't believe in in you know religion or the supernatural i believe so strongly in sports superstitions or just sort of like i almost think that minnesota is going to win just because they had two terrible they just had two unlucky outcomes and you just don't get like unlimited unlucky outcomes our minnesota vikings fans might say yes you do we've been living it for many of the past 10 seasons but like i just feel like they're due for something to break their way unfortunately it may be against the seahawks next next week yeah i will say after everything

00:27:02 - 00:27:31 | Speaker 1:

i just said about it's amazing how like especially maybe early on in the season how it just one game seems to like change my entire outlook on the season i was just saying how optimistic i am that the seahawks will um put things together and i still think they will and i do think sorry stew But I think they'll probably beat the Vikings next week But I will say that if they lose to the Vikings next week I understand if people start hitting that panic button a little bit early Going, you know, being in the NFC West and being down by two games would be rough That would be a really rough place to be

00:27:31 - 00:28:11 | Speaker 2:

I don't think that it's a given that we beat the Vikings I mean, they gave Arizona all they could handle yesterday And Arizona is a good team, you know Kirk Cousins is so weird He will look so bad sometimes And then look very competent I saw a stat that was flashed yesterday That he had like led like 12 come from behind Victories in his career or something And I was like that seems like a lot Because I'm always thinking of the times When he seems like he's sort of messing it up For the Vikes But you know if he has a good game And if things click If Dalvin Cook has a good game and things click I don't think it's you know A given that we're going to beat them

00:28:11 - 00:28:14 | Speaker 1:

What do you know about the Bears I believe the Bears are 1-1, but that's all I know about them.

00:28:16 - 00:28:21 | Speaker 2:

I know that the Bears have some real problems at quarterback. They have a rookie there?

00:28:21 - 00:28:23 | Speaker 1:

Or who's their quarterback now?

00:28:24 - 00:29:04 | Speaker 2:

Well, I think it's Andy Dalton. Okay, they have Dalton, but they also have Justin Fields. Well, it goes back and forth between Fields and Dalton. And Dalton has some kind of rib injury, but Fields is very green still. So I think that they've got some issues there, which is weirdly just like the – and I'm not saying this to rub any salt in any wounds, particularly of our buddy Chris, who's a Bears fan. It's weird how certain teams just can never seem to solve the quarterback situation. It feels like since Jim McMahon, the Bears have not ever had a good quarterback situation. They always have good defense, and they have Khalil Mack this year and a pretty solid defense, but they've always got problems at quarterback.

00:29:04 - 00:29:38 | Speaker 1:

That's interesting. Yeah, somebody should make a jersey with all the different names of all the Bears quarterbacks over the years. And, you know, it would be like a really long jersey and it would be like a train that follows the United States. Has somebody done that with the Browns? Oh, my God, yeah. I don't know if it's like one famous photo or if it's just like a thing now, but before Baker, as we were just going through between one and three quarterbacks a season, you will just, at some point, when you want a sad chuckle, just Google Cleveland Browns quarterback list jersey and you will see quite the thing.

00:29:38 - 00:29:45 | Speaker 2:

but um yeah anyway you have uh now you have baker so that's good yeah man that was really he's he's

00:29:45 - 00:30:29 | Speaker 1:

looking really sharp he was like something like um i'm gonna get this slightly wrong but i think he was like 15 for 17 uh yesterday i think coming out after his injury he didn't even miss a pass now he was doing maybe slightly shorter passes but um he just like honestly Thank you.

00:30:00 - 00:30:34 | Speaker 2:

like leadership showing showing the grit like i'm i'm i know i sound a little cliche here but like it's just like we really couldn't ask for more when he went down when he throws a pick and then goes to the locker room because he's injured on tackling the person who picked him like i was like oh my god the old browns are back and like my stomach really fell but to see him come back out and then just like operate just really almost flawlessly as a quarterback was like really encouraging and reminded me again like you know we aren't we aren't living in that cursed age

00:30:34 - 00:30:40 | Speaker 3:

anymore maybe yeah well uh are you gonna predict so you're predicting a browns and seahawks victory

00:30:40 - 00:30:59 | Speaker 2:

for next week um sure why not i mean it's pretty uneducated i know very little about either opposing team but um yeah i'm gonna say uh i would like i would yeah i'm gonna say that the seahawks and the browns will both be two and one by this time next week i hope that happens but again if

00:30:59 - 00:31:52 | Speaker 3:

they lose i'll be i'm talking about the seahawks now i'll be sad but i'll be happy for all of our minnesota vikings fans so that sort of will a little bit take the edge off it i don't know if i'm having the slow build of it's not i'm not saying i don't care about football because i obviously do and i really like my whole fall is scheduled around and when there's going to be a seahawks game on monday night or or whenever it is happening i'm like psyched and i'm thinking about it all week but i've also noticed that the losing is rolling off of me a little easier and i wonder if that's just the beginning of kind of like just caring less or something you know like i'm still excited about it but i'm also just like it just doesn't blow my week up the way it used to and i don't really know why that is if it's just if that's the beginning of some sort of antipathy about the whole thing or not um but but we shall see again i really hope we win next week but i i want there to be a scenario where we can win but our friends teams

00:31:52 - 00:31:57 | Speaker 2:

can also win hmm that's interesting i guess that's called a tie i guess yeah i guess so or a different

00:31:57 - 00:32:20 | Speaker 3:

activity maybe yeah all right uh let's uh go ahead and call that good for this week's uh little sports talk um we will be back next week for a full update on what happened uh with our respective teams. Until then, I think we wrap this up by saying no tangent too long. Or detail too wrong. Yes.

00:32:26 - 00:32:50 | Speaker 1:

No matter what you are I will always be with you Doesn't matter what you do, girl Blue girl with you No matter what you do I will always be around
