Now see this was supposed to be
Victory week it's supposed to be a week where you know, I can talk my stuff to Eagles fans, but you know, I
Didn't happen
so
Yeah
Yeah, this is
This is gonna be one of those episodes. I
You know, I had a lot planned and a lot said, you know, I definitely was talking a lot of
a drunk to a lot of people about this game and
It's it's it's messed me up. So
This is getting to everything, you know the laundry Campbell, you know quits on his team Travis Hunter wins the Heisman
You know, Steve was versus Eagles Lyons versus bills
Washington versus the Saints and the Packers against the Seahawks on the 55th episode of the football junkies podcast. Yeah
Yeah, this is this is how I'm gonna sound, you know, because of my disappointment within my team
Is what I would say if I was one of these delusional
Steelers fans or any of these others fans that would think that it is the end of the world
Because we lost to a team that is way better than our team
But you know what none of that matters because you know why this is the 55th episode of the football junkies podcast
Okay, I am your host with the most. Okay. I am your chief bad road diamonds. I am the man with the plane
I am I am currently a GM who currently is not on a team by now
But don't you worry about it. Okay, because guess what?
Everything is gonna be all right because guess what we play on Saturday. We're gonna win the division
We're gonna hold the third seed and we're gonna go to the Super Bowl this year. So guess what?
I know you're happy. I'm happy too
We got a lot to talk about with this episode a lot of hot takes a lot of hot opinions
But guess what it's gonna be amazing. Okay, so guess what? I know you're ready. I'm ready to so let's do this thing
Okay on three one two three. Let's lock in. Oh
All right folks, let's not waste any more time
Let us get into the meats and potatoes of everything that is going on in the league right now
So before we get to the games, we got to talk about some hot things that have happened
Okay, and some people may not like what I'm about to say
But I like to look things from different perspectives. So let's just get into the most talked about situation that has happened
Since last week the Vondry Campbell walked out on the team during the game. So when I was watching the game, you know
I'm seeing the Vondry Campbell. I got a towel on he's walking back something. You know, maybe got going to the bathroom
Maybe something's bothering him. Maybe he's you know sick or something. No, he quit on the team
And then that's the thing. I know I'm just my phone was just going on
I'm just like, oh man this this maybe he just told that just just to say maybe he was just being sarcastic
Maybe he was upset or whatever, but no, he actually did quit on the team
And now he's officially suspended for three games. So he cannot sign with any other team
But this is what Kyle Shanahan had to say about this whole debacle. So and I quote we are working through the semantics of exactly
How to deal with it, but you guys heard from me last night
You guys heard from our players his actions from the game is not something you can do to your team or your teammates and still be a
Part of your team. Okay, that's one person. It's our various war. That's some suck of shit
It definitely hurt the team probably going to get cut soon
Okay, that's too George Kittle. It's hard to win football games when someone doesn't want to play football
I think that's ignorant. I think that it's done. I think it's just stupid and it's very immature
I just don't see how you could do something like that to your team and I quote now
I probably seem like I probably just mashed them all together, but it was just quote after quote after quote
so
Let's just get into his stats because basically his season is over with the Vondry Campbell finished this season with 44
tackles into past deflection now I'm going to
Do try to break things down and try to do things from different perspectives
Okay, so I need you to to follow me my fellow junkies. So on one hand, I understand
the frustrations of the team I do I get it
It's I am not trying to justify the Vondry Campbell's actions. I think they are, you know, very
Troubling and I think you know that definitely says a lot or Devon Dre Campbell
It looks bad on you because
You walk down on the team and one of the most important games of the season if they would have won that game
They still would have had somewhat of a chance of making it into the playoffs because they lost that game
I think now they are officially eliminated from the playoffs
My whole problem with this is
What gives you the right to walk out on the team?
Chalvarius Ward is still dealing with the passing of his one-year-old daughter prayers thoughts and prayers to him
Trent Williams is dealing with injuries while also coping the loss of his new born babies
prayers and thoughts to his family as well
Ricky Pierce all almost died in the summer because he got robbed for his watch
Fred Warner is playing on a messed up ankle George Kittle is dealing with injuries
Brandon Ieuacus is out for the season Christian McCaffrey is out for the season and
The fact that you decided to walk out on the team
Definitely says a lot and now what's gonna happen is
You are gonna have to figure out a way of how you can eliminate this image that is now being painted about you
because
You walked out on a team
That needed you and you can't say well they did me wrong or all this and that
Can't do all that
Because you know why because you're a free agent after this season teams are gonna look at that
everyone saw that game and
I wouldn't be surprised if there's more conversations that are being had behind closed doors
So again, this was the wrong time for you to do it if you did not want to play this game
Then you should have found a way for you not to play this game
simple as that compared to
Walking out during the game is going while the game is still at a point where
Something can happen a play could be made that can put the team in a winning position
But you walked out on the team
now
From his first step of Purton perspective, I can't even speak it's definitely the coffee from his perspective. He's probably thinking
Man, I'm about to lose a majority of my step snaps because
Drey Greenlaw is back
Man, what am I supposed to do now?
But at the same time it shouldn't matter because guess what Drey Greenlaw
He's probably on a snap count anyway. So either way you would still be getting some snaps
You probably will be splitting them, you know with him
But for the majority Drey Greenlaw is going to get those snaps because why he plays a pivotal role on the defense
This was expected. You knew what you were getting once you signed with the team
Now my only question is this was there an agreement in place?
Prior to him signing when it came to this very this very situation
because
Someone isn't just going to just walk out without there being something
You know said and agreed upon prior to him signing with the 49ers
Now I know there's probably some people that are probably thinking and probably have a scrunched up face right now
They're probably thinking what are you talking about the Vondre Campbell could have signed with any other team
He could have signed with 31 other teams, right?
What exactly what was said?
That gave him the reassurance that okay, I'm going to get a majority of the snaps
I'm going to be working with Fred Warner and whatnot. I'm fine
What exactly happened?
Because since then all we've heard is from the the players perspective
We haven't heard anything from Devon Drey Campbell at some point. You're gonna have to say something
At some point because
Now this thing is
Continuing to go on and it's going to continue to go into the end of the season
Because why you have yet to say anything you have yet to tell your side of the story and I think for me personally
I would love to hear his side of the story just so I can understand
The entirety of this entire situation
Because now all I'm hearing is all the frustrated, you know players
Who have every right to be frustrated because a lot of them are dealing with real-life situations outside of this football?
like
People have lost children people have lost family members people are dealing with you know injuries that they should be you know trying to rest
But they're trying to go to the playoffs. They're trying to get back where they once were a few years ago and for you to leave
Come on, bro
Come on. You just cannot do that
And I've said this to a few friends of mine and I will say this publicly this is going to affect him in free agency
tremendously
because whenever
They start talking about money and agreements and contracts and whatnot. They're gonna bring this up. I
Guarantee you watch watch what I say. I know I may be a little bit crazy and whatnot
But watch what I say. This is going to come back in a different way and it's probably gonna haunt him it is
There's just certain things you just don't do and this is one of them
You never walk out on your team. You always fight with your team to the end. I don't care if the score is
98 to 0
You still
Fight with the team
Now another controversial topic that definitely needs to be talked about Travis Hunter winning the Heisman
now
This is just my personal opinion. I would have thought that
You know, they would have gave both Travis and Ashton Gentie
The Heisman me personally
I feel like both of them should have been co-Heisman winners because both of them were
Were 1a and 1b the best college football players this season, right?
People were watching
You know just as many Colorado games as they were, you know when it came to the Boise State games
So there's no way that you can really say. Oh, this person was better than that person
But ultimately it happened now when we look at their stats, right Travis Hunter's offensive stat
offensive snaps
stats
It's definitely the coffee
92 receptions for
1152 receiving yards he averaged
12.5 receiving yards per reception in 14 touchdowns his defensive stats
31 total tackles 11 past deflections one force fumble for an exception. Okay
Ashton Gentie
344 carries for
2497 rushing yards 29 touchdowns and he averaged
7.3 rushing yards per carry
Now granted I understand that the last two-way player to win the Heisman was Charles Woodson in the late 90s
I think it was 97 if I'm not mistaken
I understand that and I understand
You know the ramifications that come with winning the Heisman
However, if I am a media person if I'm a person that is on the board when it comes to voting for the Heisman
I cannot say this person is better than that person and I understand there are people that are probably saying well
You've never played football before so you wouldn't know yes
I understand that but at the end of the day when you have two dynamic players that are doing this
You can't really you can't really weed out and say oh this person was better than that person
You just can't and even when you look at the votes
Travis Hunter earned
552 first place votes while Ashton Gentie only earned 300 and I that's a
243 first place point differential
Okay, when we look at the total votes Hunter had
2231 total votes while Gentie had
2017 votes that's a 214
total vote differential and
so the reason why I'm saying all these things is because
What we have here is a
situation where
the media in some ways voted for Travis Hunter and now I
Just be before I go any further. I don't want to make it seem like I'm hating on Travis Hunter that I don't like Travis
Hunter no, I'm really big Travis Hunter fan
Love them. I know he's gonna be a top three pick. I know he is
I know he's gonna do phenomenal things, but when it comes to this Heisman stuff when it comes to the voting
It got a little bit shaky for me
It really did and I kept on saying it leading up to the Heisman
Both of those two should have just gotten the Heisman
They you should have just gave it to the both of them because you can't say this person is better than the other person
Now the only difference between the two is
Ashton Gentie
Carry the team into the college playoffs
Because now if I'm not mistaken, I think they have a first round by so they don't have to face anybody
They have to wait they can rest recoup and you know prepare a game plan for whoever whoever they have to go up against
Colorado didn't make it to the college playoffs. So if you want to base that
For the Heisman voting, okay, that's perfectly fine
But all of this other stuff. Oh, he's a two-way player. Oh, he did this. Oh, he did that
If I'm not mistaken and I've been trying to find it, you know for the longest time I
Don't think Travis Hunter was first in any in any of the the statistics when it comes to receiver and corner
Meanwhile asked to Gentie if I'm not mistaken. He was
so again
This was
Just a little bit too close to count. It really was and
You know ashton gentie, you know, he he said how how he felt, you know once once everything was done. I
Since the frustration coming from him. I really do but
That's just
Unfortunately that that's just how the cookie crumbled sometimes now. I will say this I think if
Ashton gentie would have broken Barry Sanders record
For sure they would have had to give it to the Astor Jets
It's 100% they would have had to make him the unanimous Heisman
Winner they would have had to but those are just my thoughts and opinions if you got anything
Contradicting that guess what you can go on our Instagram at football underscore junkies pod
Go in the comments. Let me know your thoughts about the whole Heisman situation now. Let's get into these games
Okay, oh, I forgot I got to put this out here and I'll probably say it again at the end of the episode
There may be or may not be an episode next week simply because you know
Christmas is is next week and you know
Gotta get things together and whatnot. So there may or may not
If there is or if there isn't I'll be sure to let you guys know and you know all all that great stuff now
Let's get into the game that I thought I was gonna be able to talk my stuff
But I couldn't because we lost but it's okay because guess what doesn't really affect us
And that is the Pennsylvania Bowl as I call it
Let's just get into it. Let's just get it over with Russell Wilson 14 for 22
128 passing yards one touchdown 5.8 yards per 10 in a 63.6 completion percentage
Najee Harris six attempts for 14 for 14 rushing yards 2.3 rushing yards per carry Calvin Austin five targets for five receptions
65 receiving yards 13 receiving yards per reception Jalen Hertz 25 for 32
290 passing yards two touchdowns
9.1 yards per attempt in a 78.1 completion percentage
Sequin Barclay 19 attempts for 65 rushing yards
3.4 rushing yards per carry in one rush of 10 plus yards of more AJ Brown 11 targets for eight receptions
110 receiving yards one touchdown and 13.8 receiving yards per reception now
This is what I will say this was a really good game. It was a very chippy game
As much as I want to you know be that fantasy
Well, they didn't call anything about Jalen Carter or they didn't call anything about TJ
What being held or they didn't call this they didn't call that
Most likely they wasn't gonna do it anyway, especially of how rooted
This rivalry is they wasn't gonna do that. Just it's like the Ravens and Steelers
If you would lose your mind off of every call that's not that that isn't you know, that isn't being noticed
You would have lost your mind, but
This is what I will say and I'm gonna start with the Eagles first
Get them out the way and then I can talk I can talk about my students
But before we go any further Mike from the not that serious podcast
Hey, bro, you got it y'all won. All right. Congratulations to y'all
Congratulations, you know, not that serious podcast Mike Elsie
dr. Woff
Cory
Q Mike all them guys shout to them great podcast to listen to but most importantly Mike Elsie
Congratulations, you guys won if you guys don't know
They're very big Eagles fans and me and Mike was going back and forth on Twitter about it and whatnot
But don't nobody care about that. This is what I will say the Eagles control this game from start to finish
They control this game. The reason why I say that is because when you look at their time possession
Their time possession was 39 minutes and 52 seconds
Pittsburgh's time of possession was only 20 minutes
This team was controlling the field
We have now entered that part of the season even though the regular season is about to end in the playoffs and you're ready to start
We have hit that point where the time possession to me is going to be one of the most crucial
Things that I'm going to be looking at because a lot of times like a team like the Eagles
They're going to be on the field for like 20 or 30 or 40 minutes and they can dictate how the game goes
And that's exactly what what happened Pittsburgh was not able to get
Filly off the field as much and in doing so that's probably one of the reasons why we lost and then not to mention
Filly was able to convert on third down
Pittsburgh was struggling when we look at these stats, right? Pittsburgh's third down conversion
three for ten
Phillies third down conversions ten for 17
The stats don't lie folks. I
Understand that there are some steelers fans that are you know a little bit frustrated about it and and you know
Upset and whatever whatever the case may be but the fact of the matter is
The Eagles are what the Steelers are trying to be it's like that. It's like that older sibling
You're trying to you know always get a chance to beat your old your older sibling where that be in
Racing where that be in sports or where that be in whatever, right?
And most of the times you won't be able to because they're just better than you and that happens
the Eagles roster from start to finish is
Is very much more equipped than what Pittsburgh is now Pittsburgh is trying to mimic what the Eagles are doing
But the Eagles are just more complete
when we look at it, they have a
Great receiving well not really a great receiving court, but they have a really good receiving core and AJ Browns Vontae Smith
They have a solid elite run game in say Cron Barkley
They still have a top five offensive line even with the departure and retirement of Jason Kelsey
The defense is starting to look amazing, especially with Jaylen Carter and Jordan Davis
Zach Bond is looking like an all-pro when your Mitchell is looking like the rel revis you have Cooper Dijine
You have CJ Garner Johnson. They got stars everywhere, right?
They got dogs everywhere and they are more battle tested
Then what Pittsburgh is and that's fine now when we shift things over to Pittsburgh
They were going to struggle anyway because why George Pickens wasn't gonna play
The Sean Elliott was gonna play and Larry Oh was not gonna play
Especially George Pickens
We are now seeing that this Steelers team is a completely different Steelers team without George Pickens being on the field
And granted I understand there are you know the Mike Williams fans that are saying well, what about Mike Williams?
What about Mike Williams? I've been able to fully see the all 22 film from start to finish
But there were some instances where you know Mike wasn't really creating a whole lot of separation
And he really wasn't getting open a few times
That's just what it is and that's okay
But you know the one thing that I definitely said as the halftime as halftime was was ending
the one thing I said was put up in the air and
Lo and behold guess what happens they do a flea flicker
Russ gives it to Calvin Austin boom big play and then they just started marched down the field marching marching marching marching
And then that's saying you know they're getting close to the red zone and then what happens nausea fumbles the ball now
Understand there are some people are saying all this is the reason why you know
Nausea is not gonna be with the Steelers no more it happens
It happens. It's okay
This game really doesn't mean a whole lot this game is just for bragging rights. That's all it is
It doesn't have any playoff implications whatsoever because why we already clinched our playoff birth anyway
Because why Miami loss in the Coastal loss yesterday, so it's okay. We're fine
We're fine serious fans. It's okay. Hey, listen, I need you to breathe with me. Okay, I
Need you to woo saw I need you to woo saw with me for a moment. Okay, everything is gonna be fine now
Back to this game
The offense was struggling. Okay at this point
I think we have to be a little bit more creative with with the play calling especially trying to put it up in the air
You know, you have Calvin Austin a very shifty fast receiver that is able to create separation fairly quickly
You know, you have Pat Fiery move. You know, you have Mike Williams. You know, you have all these other receivers
You have to be a little bit more creative and utilize and utilizing them
Because now we don't know exactly how long George Piggins is going to be out for
So we have to prepare that he is not going to be with us for the entire regular season
And he'll be ready for us, you know, what wants to play off starts that is that is a realistic scenario that the team has to prepare for
And so that means that you have to switch up the play calling a little bit
When we switch it over to the defense the defense was doing their thing Tj y was you know being TJ Y
Alex high spin was being Alex high Smith cam was being cam
But again, you started to see the struggles that the team was having because
Even though they was preventing seguan from, you know running here there everywhere. Guess what?
They was being beat up in the air and so what happened was instead of Minka playing in the backfield
You have Minka playing in the box. You have the Monte KZ playing, you know in the backfield
Even though yes Minka is a really good tackler
You would have rather had him be in the backfield because you know
He's gonna be able to keep a lid on any of those deep passes
And that's why you you wouldn't needed the Sean Elliott even more because the Sean Elliott is a big enough safety
That for one he can play in the box and two when it comes to those downhill downhill hits he can deliver them
Compared to having someone like a Minka who is your ball hall type safety
Just saying when we saw Dante Jackson Dante Jackson was definitely struggling a little bit
There were a few plays where he looked like a deer in headlights, but the secondary was getting beat up
AJ Brown was being them up. Devonte Smith was being them up
And so this is ultimately, you know the reasons why the Steelers lost and that's okay. That's perfectly fine
We have to focus on getting healthy
Preparing ourselves for Saturday because we have to go big in sports more and then we have to prepare ourselves again
For the Chiefs next week and then you have to face the bangles, right?
So again, it's okay Steelers fans. I understand that you're upset. It's alright
So it's all good in the hood man, but listen
Don't worry
They're gonna have their time
Because guess what when they lose when they don't go to the Super Bowl. Oh, guess what? I'm gonna be right there
I'm gonna be right there
Popcorn in hand in the most comfiest chair I can find the biggest drink that I can find
I'm going to be he he and ha ha from here to there
There's nothing they can do about it better yet
I might even use the picture of them walking off the field in disappointment as the profile picture
Well, not a profile picture, but an episode picture just you wait
Now that now that we're done with with with that game. Let's get into the other games. Alright, so lions and bills, okay?
As I said as I predicted it was gonna be a high-scoring game. What happened? It's a high-scoring game
So Josh Allen 23 for 34
362 passing yards to touchdowns 10.6 yards per 10 in a 67.6
completion percentage James Cook 14 attempts for 105 rushing yards
7.5 rushing yards per carry two touchdowns and two rushes of 10 plus yards or more tie Johnson five targets for five receptions
114 receiving yards and
22.8 receiving yards per per reception
Jared golf 38 for 59
494 passing yards five touchdowns 8.4 yards per attempt in a 64.4 completion percentage
Jameer Gibbs eight attempts for 31 rushing yards
3.2 rushing yards per carry one touchdown and one rush of 10 plus yards or more
I'm on Ross St. Brown 18 targets for 14 receptions
193 receiving yards one touchdown and 13.8 receiving yards per reception
This was a really good game me personally
I feel like this should have been the Sunday night football game just of how great it was
Okay, this was a heavyweight bow. Okay one person scores the other person scores
And it just kept on going for four quarters straight
This is the game in my mind that I feel like this seals the envy the MVP conversation up
Okay, right now in my mind Josh Allen is the MVP 100% of the way I
Understand, you know say Juan is close to you know getting 2000 yards and you knows Lamar is you know
He's he's starting to win again and whatnot. I get all that
But Josh Allen right now is the MVP what he has been able to do
Without a Stefan digs type of receiver
Has been phenomenal. They have now relied more on the run game
The other pieces that they have on that offense to win them games
Not to mention the defense looks a little bit more polished than what they did against the Rams because the Rams torch them
Especially in the secondary they torched them cooked them
How Bachi grilled get the rosemary get the time get the butter and scoop scoop scoop scoop
That's just how crazy was but back to this game though for the Lions
You lost but you lost even more
Now apparently David Montgomery is out for the season
Carlton Davis is out for the season
Aline McNeill is out for the season and Khalil Dorsey is out for the season
I'm just gonna read off
Some of the players that are that are on the injured reserve list right now. Well that are injured. Okay
Aiden Hutchison Aline McNeil Kyle Peckle Marcus Davenport John Kaminsky
Mackay Wingo Nate Lynn David Bada Alex Anzalon Derek Barnes Jalen Reeves Maven
Malcolm Rodriguez
Carlton Davis Aniz Rickstraw Jr. Khalil Dorsey Afitu Melafonu David Montgomery Khalif Raymond Anton Green
Connor Galvin Nate team Muti and Michael Bagley
That is a very extensive list flows and a lot of these injuries are season ending injuries
That's why they've been trying to pluck different players from other teams as practice qualifiers just to you know
Just try to make things fit because as of right now their spot for the number one seed is a little bit shaky right now
Because why there is a three-way fight on who will get the number one seed and those three teams are the Lions
The Vikings and the Eagles and all of this depends on the remaining games in this season
So right now. Yes, the Lions are quote-unquote the number one seed
But it's not come completely locked in because any of those teams can get it from the Lions. So again, I
Don't know how things are going to shape up
But if I'm the Lions, I am pushing hard to try to get that number one seed so you can get that first round by
You can get some of these players that are injured
you can have them, you know back in the lineup and
You can prepare yourself for a more I wouldn't say weaker opponent
But you can prepare yourself for you know a better matchup that favors that favors you more
compared to
Having to grind to get to the NFC championship and then let alone the Super Bowl because remember hutches still out
Hunch won't be able to come back until the Super Bowl even though hutches said publicly that you know
Just make it to the Super Bowl guys and then I got you guys blah blah blah, but I
I just don't know I don't know because right now the Vikings are on a hot streak
The Eagles are on a hot streak and the Lions are banged up bad
Now I don't know how exactly they're gonna be able to you know
Continue to win, but hey, it's the Lions. They always find crazy ways to win now
Onto the Washington and New Orleans game. Yes, we have to talk about that game
Jaden Daniels 25 for 31 226 passing yards to touchdowns
7.3 yards per attempt in a 80.6
completion percentage Jaden Daniels again
11 attempts for 66 rushing yards six rushing yards per carry and two rushes of 10 plus yards or more Terry McLaurin
10 targets for seven receptions 73 receiving yards to touchdowns and 10.4 receiving yards per reception
Spencer rattler 10 for 21 135 passing yards one touchdown
6.4 yards per attempt in a 46.6 completion percentage
Kendra Miller 9 attempts for 46 rushing yards
5.1 rushing yards per carry and three rushes of 10 plus yards or more
Marquez Valden scantling seven targets for two receptions 64 receiving yards and 32 receiving yards per reception
This is what I will say about this game
And this may be somewhat of a hot topic, but we'll talk more about it once the season is completely over
Spencer rattler showed a little bit of something now. I'm not saying he's you know the franchise quarterback, but I am saying he had a little
Grit-tomb, okay? He he almost carried this team to victory over Washington. I'm just saying
Just saying alright because the quarterback that they had in prior to that. He was a deer in headlights
He could not do a ding-durn thing. All right, but when we shift things over to Washington though Washington was really doing their thing
Okay, Terry McClure was making some crazy catches the offense
Start to look like you know its old self before they started to lose against a few teams Steelers, but moving forward
Okay, the defense was doing their thing as well now
Once the game started to unravel a little bit that's when things started getting a little bit shakily because then Spencer Ravler was just like
Okay, you know what? I really don't have nothing really to play for but you know a roster spot and just to you know show teams that you know
I'm that guy because originally when he was coming out of
South Carolina if I'm not mistaken
People were saying he was the first round pick me personally. I don't I didn't see I thought he was a second round pick
But that's another story for another day, but he was showing a lot
He was showing a lot of grit. He was you know when the pocket was collapsing. He stood in there made some key throws
He was just doing it all he was putting on a clinic if you are a Saints fan
I think that's something that you can you know ride into
Next year because right now you have uncertainty with Derek R
You don't have another quarterback on this roster right now that you can say oh
They can be a good replacement or a good bridge for the time being like no Spencer Ravler. I think he could do it
He showed the arm talent. He showed the mobility. He showed the play calling
He showed his ability to adapt to the different types of coverages and the different types of schemes and blitzes that Washington was throwing at
He was holding his own. He was doing his thing. I'm sorry
If I am the Saints GM, I'm riding with Spencer Rattler
Young quarterback cheap and you can build around him compared to trying to roll it with Derek R
And you guys don't get anywhere just saying now for Washington though. We're getting to the end of the season
Hey
You want to keep on stacking up these wins because again you are in a spot where
Most likely you're gonna go up against a tough opponent in the playoffs
I'm just just letting you know right now
You may have to go up against one of those teams on the West either Rams or the Cardinals if I'm not mistaken
You do not want that because I know you're gonna lose
But at the same time
This is a game that you can you know leave your hat on because Jaden Daniels looked really good
from running to
Passing to everything else Jaden Daniels look like him old self
He looked comfortable and that is something that you can bank on the run game was actually
Looking pretty good. I'm not gonna lie now
I'm not just saying that because Jaden Daniels was was the run game. No, but again this team
Has surpassed all
Expectations I think that everyone had of this team prior to the season starting because if you would have told me that
Washington will be where they are right now. I
Would have called you a liar, but so far they have proved the naysayers wrong and
This further proves that the front offense hit on the Jaden Daniels draft pick
And now you have to continue to surround him with talent because I'm telling you right now
If they continue to hit on their draft picks
And if they bring in a big fish of a receiver for Jaden Daniels, this team is gonna be super competitive
I would not be surprised if they make an NFC
Championship run because they're not making to the Super Bowl. I'm just letting you guys know that for all you commander fans out
There just letting it be no having a whiner what I'm even talking like this. It's the ADHD now onto the last game a
Game that I'm low key was was actually starting like it was a really good game
I had to watch this game a few times back Green Bay, Seattle, okay, Jordan love 20 for 27
229 passing yards to touchdowns 8.5 yards per attempt in a 74.1 completion percentage
Josh Jacobs 26 attempts for 94 rushing yards
3.6 rushing yards per carry one touchdown and one rush of 10 plus yards or more Christian Watson
six targets for three receptions
56 receiving yards 18.7 receiving yards per reception Geno Smith 15 for
1919 149 passing yards one interception 6.8 yards per attempt in a 78.9 completion percentage
Sam Howell 5 or 14 24 passing yards one pick 1.7 yards per attempt in a 35.7 completion percentage now before I go any further
You're probably wondering why do I have two quarterbacks in?
Because Geno Smith got hurt and then Sam Howell had to come in I think you have to finish the game
All right, cool moving forward Zach Charbonnet eight attempts for 54 rushing yards
6.8 rushing yards per carry and one touchdown and two rushes of 10 plus yards or more
I was getting ahead of myself Jackson Smith and Jigba 12 targets for 10 receptions
83 receiving yards and 8.3 receiving yards per reception Josh Jacobs since going to the Packers has been phenomenal
like I think we have to talk about how
There's someone of like a little bit of a renaissance with the running back position
When we look at you know some of the tier one and tier two running backs who were free agents and signed with other teams and
The impact that they've had since joining those teams like safe one Barkley
Their run game elite the Packers run game low key could you could probably make a strong argument that it's either
You know really good to close to elite. Okay
Christian Watson this young receiving core. They're doing their thing. Okay, Jordan love was doing their thing
And you know when we look at when we look at this game this shows the
inexperience when it comes to the Seahawks, especially with their defense, right?
Everyone is still getting used to the new scheme
Everyone's getting used to you know new players being guiding whatnot
So it's a lot of growing pains for this Seahawks defense because it is fairly young
But you know, this is this isn't as bad as what people think it is
I still believe the Seahawks are definitely gonna be in the playoffs now
Are they gonna be behind the playoffs loan the playoffs in the middle?
I don't know because even in their division
it's still too close to call because
You still have the Rams that are still in it. You still have the Cardinals that are still in it
Half of the division is still in it. So it's still anyone's division at this point now
If I could make a prediction right now, who do I think will probably win?
I would say right now it's the Rams the Rams right now since their buy have been red hot and
They have gone up against some very tough defenses
They have gone up against some tough teams and they have been able to hold their own
You have a veteran quarterback and Matthew Stafford who is very experienced
You have a dangerous receiving core and Pukinacua and Cooper Cup the run game is sufficient
The defense is also a you know a core that you cannot sleep on with Jared verse
You know creating the pressure that he's been able to create and Brandon fist being just a wrecking ball on the defensive line as well
This isn't a team that you can sleep on so only time will tell but I'm gonna end this episode here
