Raider Wil (00:01)
And welcome back to the Silver and Black Radio podcast. I'm your host Raider Will and I am here with my misfit crew, mine is Gunny Raider. Hey, I got my boy, from TBH Dallas. All right. I got my girl, Val with DFW.

Val (00:15)
and Bova.

Allin (00:17)
What it do? What's happening?

Raider Wil (00:30)
Ready a nation for life, baby!

Val (00:36)
Hey.

Allin (00:37)
I'm out.

Raider Wil (00:37)
At last but not least, I got my co-captain of this ship, my boy, Maddie B from TBH Westco.

Matty B (00:39)
Ha ha ha ha ha ha.

What's up fam?

Val (00:55)
us two weekends in a row.

Raider Wil (00:55)
Yo, what's up? Hey, shit. And we visit our boy, Tony B from TBH, spoke, spoke, spoke, spoke. But yo, hey, so we got our partial crew here, Yep. Yo, we are here today, as we just got railed this weekend. The Raiders go up to Mile High. We had a

Allin (00:57)
And we're missing our boy Tony B.

Val (00:59)
Yeah, and and- and boba.

Matty B (01:09)
King of the King, through champion.

Raider Wil (01:24)
winning streak going on of eight games. We take our first loss as the Las Vegas Raiders up in Denver. Batty B, myself, SSJ was in the building. Yo, lots of talk about lots of things that we got to look at. And hey, let's get right into it, guys. Yo, we start out the first quarter of the game. We start out 10-0. 10-0. We have a big momentum shift with an INT.

And then we go MIA. Guys, that's just the rough, you know, give up. Let's really get into the bones of it. We really, really looked bad this game, guys. I mean, after the first quarter, our team disappeared. We didn't have any defensive energy. We didn't have any offensive energy. The Broncos score, I think it was something like 28 unanswered or 34 unanswered before we come back.

after we score 10 points and we lead it off. Hey, Matty B, give me your analysis. Tell me how you feel about the game.

Matty B (02:29)
Thank

Yeah, I can't Especially being there do that really suck. like we just we came out and it looked really good like the first quarter was like, okay You might be seeing a beat down right here, you know, and then it was just like I mean even the Bronco fans in front of us were like dude These guys suck like we had him at what like third fourth and third and thirty something, you know

And they were like, dude, these guys are garbage. Get this quarterback out of here. I can't believe they got this coach. Let's fire this whole team. Let's restart. Like that's what we were hearing from the Bronco fans. And then it was just like total momentum shift. Bam. We do the I.N.T. and it was like the whole team quit playing like, and I almost feel like it's they quit playing for Garner, man. Like that guy, like as soon as the I.N.T.'s come out, they know the game's over, you know, because that's just that's what he's good for.

Raider Wil (02:58)
Yeah.

Allin (02:58)
Yeah.

Matty B (03:27)
You know, he does it every week. But thank we just came in again like. I think it came in a little too confident, just like we did with the Panthers. We came in a little too confident. we're on eight game win streak. we're rolling hot right now. And then the INT hit and it was just like, whoa, wait a minute, hold on. then.

didn't forget Momento man. Their fans started cheering, that stadium was getting loud, you could hear it rumbling like every time they'd get ready to go snap the ball bam, either a false start or some kind of penalty they were getting or I mean there were some iffy calls in there too you know but I mean that still wasn't going to change the outcome of the game we were getting our asses kicked so I mean it's on the coaching staff on that one I think honestly

Raider Wil (04:08)
Gotcha, gotcha.

All right, we're gonna get into that a little bit later. We're gonna get into that. Yo, all in. What do you got for me, baby?

Allin (04:19)
Man, a lot of the same, it just sucked. it was, I didn't get to watch the, from about mid third quarter on, cause I did jam for a work thing. but yeah, man, that first quarter started off like goddamn Gardner picked up a couple first downs with his legs. Like that, that looked good. the play calling was good. I feel like the offense flowed better, against

Cleveland and the first part of this game when Devontae is out, there's not a lot of pressure there to feed Devontae, right? Yeah, that's just my opinion. But then the INT and then we just got a lot of offensive issues, Offensively, we're not good enough to overcome mistakes right now for whatever reason.

You and I talked a long time last night about that stuff, Will. Nobody really knows why, right? You see the skill players are there. Can't run the ball, can't block nobody. Defense just gets their ass kicked because they're on the field too much.

Raider Wil (05:38)
No, gotcha. Gotcha, we.

Allin (05:40)
And real quick, anybody, did Wilkins get hurt after that sack on the celebration?

Raider Wil (05:45)
Yes, it was after the celebration. Yes, yes.

Matty B (05:47)
Yeah, when he jumped on him, like, tried to jump over him, he, like, jumped on top of him and one night it happened.

Allin (05:50)
I had a feeling I was like, I saw that, like, you know, I was kind of getting ready to leave and I've seen that and I'm like, fuck, that ain't good. I didn't realize he'd come out of the game at the time. And then, and then they said he was out on TV and I was like, God damn it. So fucking celebrations.

Matty B (06:06)
Well, yeah, see, he celebrated and we said I said the same thing at first and then I was like, where's Wilkins at? Like, I haven't seen him on the line. And then I just never seen him come back in. I seen him on the side, seen a guy walk around down there. had a boot on, you know, he came out and just sat there. But I didn't know it was Wilkins at first until I seen the number on the back. I was like, damn it. And I'm like, fuck Wilkins. He's out.

Raider Wil (06:19)
Yep.

Allin (06:20)
Yeah.

Yeah, I thought that was the play, I just wanted to make sure I wasn't 100 % sure.

Raider Wil (06:27)
Alright.

Matty B (06:31)
Yeah, and I didn't notice that that was the play because we like we were so into the game that I didn't even notice him come off the field. And then I got it and for a couple more rounds, I think I didn't even pay attention that he was even on the field because we were just getting our asses handed to us and it was just like kid get nothing going. So was like.

Allin (06:38)
That was a big time play too.

Yeah, yeah,

Raider Wil (06:49)
Alright fellas, so Lady Val, what is your analysis of the Gaian?

Val (06:57)
So I missed the first half of the game.

Raider Wil (07:03)
Whaaaat?

Val (07:03)
I was asleep. I was in bed asleep, not gonna lie. So when I finally got up, went out, I went to the hangout and hung out with Adrian at the TBH Dallas. Yeah, TBH Dallas. But from what I saw, because I kind of caught a little bit of the third quarter, but we...

Raider Wil (07:07)
you

but okay, bye bye.

Val (07:32)
We just look clumsy, so dysfunctional. I don't know. From what I saw. It's just sad, you know?

Raider Wil (07:42)
Okay, no, mean like dysfunctional is definitely a word I would use with the writers right now. So like we are dysfunctional, but guys, all right. Absolutely. So

Matty B (07:48)
Thanks.

Val (07:52)
It was just disappointing, you know?

Allin (07:55)
Hey, thank God for the Jets this week making a bigger headline than us so people would stop talking about us for fucking five minutes.

Raider Wil (07:59)
Robert Sala.

Matty B (08:00)
That's all.

Val (08:02)
Dude, he got, he got escorted out.

Raider Wil (08:06)
Escorted out?

Allin (08:07)
Yeah, security escorted him out.

Raider Wil (08:10)
Hey! Robert Sawa.

Matty B (08:10)
Court is due.

Allin (08:12)
The head coach after they fired him, they fired him Tuesday morning. He was already there for work. Called him in the office and a old woody fucking what's his name? Fucking fired him. And then they had a secure day. They let him talk to the team, the coaches, nobody. They just said, Hey, thanks. No thanks. Hey, but Hey, if I'm him, fuck it. Which door you want me to leave? Cause they're fucking paying him 20 G's a day to not coach for the next two years.

Val (08:28)
Get your shit and get out.

Matty B (08:40)
Yeah, Well, yeah, money run. Pretty sure we have a coach doing the same thing right now.

Raider Wil (08:41)
Hey, it is what it is. Yeah. we've got a couple. yeah. Fellas, so. Yeah, let's let's go. Let's go back onto the Raiders, y'all. So yo, so like we said, hey man, we have this offensive struggle. But guys, let's go flashback first quarter. We had a lot of things that were working for us. A lot of things to run game the pass game we had.

Allin (08:41)
Bye!

Like three of them.

Matty B (08:47)
You on three. You ain't lying, are

Raider Wil (09:10)
a big catch by Brock Bowers that he caught a tutty. I'll be like, we saw a lot of bright spots in that first quarter. Now, again, we don't understand where the dysfunction is that when you get into the second, third and fourth quarter, we disappear.

Allin (09:12)
Huge.

Raider Wil (09:29)
My question is this, okay?

Is QB the only problem for the Raiders? And I'm gonna start with, I'm gonna start with Val. Val's nodding her head no. Val, let's start with you.

Val (09:45)
Of course, it's not just the quarterbacks, you know, because there's more than just the quarterback. So there's a misconnection somewhere. And I don't know if there's any dilemma, or not any dilemma, but like some little drama. I don't know what exactly is going on because as Alan said earlier, they're throwing make signals over here between Devante and

So I don't know, it just kind of makes you think a little bit, probably overthinking it, or maybe we're just not thinking to the extent where we need to, but it's also play calling too.

Raider Wil (10:28)
Agreed agreed. I think there is a combination of coaching and a dysfunction in the communication but yo I'm gonna end with all in because we've had this discussion and I know you know where we're go with that But I want to hear Maddie B's point of view Maddie B Hit us what's your point of view is a is QB the only problem for the Raiders right now?

Matty B (10:56)
No, I think the whole, I think get these are probably honestly, I don't think it's the, I don't think it's the quarterback. I mean, I think the quarterback has to do with it, you know? but I think it's the system that we're running. mean, like I said, last time I was on the pod that, you know, if you're, you got guys that are supposed to be downhill blockers and you're putting them in a zone and they can't block in a zone, then you're using your guys wrong. You got to put your guys and use your advantage to your guys. then.

Our quarterback, think honestly, to tell you the truth, I think our locker room is divided between the quarterbacks. I think there's brewing and there's something in that locker room between those two quarterbacks that now all of a sudden, you know, you're hearing these rumors that everything's okay between the Raiders and Devontae and shit like that. But now there's rumors going around that AOC might be coming in and starting and because they benched Menchu and maybe that's what the whole problem was. So A-B starting, okay, he get the nod, okay, so.

Allin (11:46)
Now he is starting. He is starting.

Raider Wil (11:47)
No, he is starting. It's not a rumor. It's true. Yeah.

Matty B (11:52)
But okay, so yeah, so he is starting so I mean, you know, maybe there's something going on there. Maybe it was the whole hey, you know Garner what we went from I don't want to play with Garoppolo. This is bullshit. Like I'm killing myself out here to the comments he made last year to basically do the same shit with Garner Mishu. You know, you're putting him in bad spots or throwing the bad ball. You got him wide open and you're overthrowing him. You went from Garoppolo back to Garoppolo.

You know, it's like that's where he's frustrated. You're not getting the guy. When you say AOC was my guy at the beginning of the year and it's got to go through him and then all of a sudden it's like you ain't seeing any kind of, I mean, he looks worse than AOC did last year and he's been in the league longer. So.

Raider Wil (12:34)
Gotcha. Okay. Now, hey, all in. Hit me with it, baby.

Matty B (12:36)
Thank you for watching.

Allin (12:46)
Yeah, man. I, you know, at first, I, know, you and I talked last night and I, I, I was like, man, fuck the old line, fuck the run game. Madison's is fucking shitty as Zeus and which shit. I mean, he had a shit game. Let's just be honest. He didn't step up. Like I thought he was going to, like I had hoped he was going to 15 for 38 at two and a half yards of carry is you just showed me why you were ranked the second worst back in the league last year. But.

Like we talked about man like something ain't right in there, right? Like they gotta be having offensive meetings, whether it's the O line coaches like you and I talked about Will, maybe there's a disconnect there.

Gunny said it good man, mean, Minshew is a serviceable quarterback, but for whatever reason, we're not clicking right now and it's just the offense as a whole. It's not anybody that says it's, everybody wants to blame the quarterback, right? Cause that's a typically the highest paid position on the team. It's the most important position in fucking maybe all of sports, right? Most responsibility. I get the quarterback's always going to get the blame first.

If I ever, if I never saw another screenplay thrown by the fucking Raiders again, that would probably be too soon. Cause I'm fucking sick of it. how, you know, gets he gets one play that works well one time and we run it eight more times and fucking it's for negative yards. Usually, I'm about over the end around plays with Tucker too, like that. I mean, they sniff that out quick. Like it worked once and let's let's fucking beat it to the ground.

There's just not a lot of variety there, man. I like the first quarter. Gardner stepped up, it wasn't there. He took off, he picked up two big first downs. That was awesome. That's been what's missing from the game. know, Jacoby's not really involved. I think it starts with the coaching with this and I'm not talking play calling. I'm offensive coaching in general.

Whether it be the O lines, the running backs, just everybody ain't on the same page like Val likes to say, it's not something's off there. It's and maybe these guys don't who is our O line coach? Maybe they're not responding to this guy. Maybe they don't like this guy. Maybe I don't know, you you bring in new people and not everybody messes with them. I don't understand why Colton Miller just looks absolutely cooked like it's game five. You should be in game shape after missing.

Camp you should be in game shape by game five and he does he's cooked man

Raider Wil (15:32)
No, I agree.

Allin (15:34)
And the people screaming fucking, you know, the right tackle sucks. The right tackle. Dude, he's had a game and a half chill. He's a fucking rookie that was expected to be a project that actually impressed people. Right. And the, played what against Cleveland. He played what the, was it the second half? Cause Munford got hurt and he gave up zero pressures in that game.

Raider Wil (15:58)
Yep. Yeah.

Allin (16:04)
And you're fucking Miles Garrettsk, you flippin' sides, I mean.

Raider Wil (16:08)
Well, and then here's another thing, all right? The Broncos are known for being a pressure team. They're known for bringing more guys than you can block. So I'll be like, it's a totally different game when you get into a defense like Cleveland and you get a defense like the Broncos to both of them are in a different class.

Allin (16:22)
Right. And let's be honest, Denver's defense, them dudes ain't no slouches. Right?

Raider Wil (16:29)
No, they've been an elite defense this whole year. So that's why we said it.

Allin (16:33)
since, well, that defense has improved since they got their ass whooped by Miami last year. They've been in the top five to 10 in every category since that ass whooping. That defense is good. That loss was coming, man. I think most of us called it beginning of the year. I didn't expect to lose at Denver. I thought it was gonna be later, because I didn't think Denver was gonna have their shit together this early.

But I thought the streak was gonna end this year at either game.

Raider Wil (17:04)
Absolutely. So, yeah.

Matty B (17:08)
And the way we're playing right now, they could be on a streak.

Raider Wil (17:11)
Yeah, no doubt. Hey, so guys, we said, hey, is QB the only problem for the Raiders? No, it's not the only problem for the Raiders. We already know that we said, hey, it's more to it than that. There's bad coaching, bad play calling, bad execution on the field. And right now there is zero confidence in our quarterbacks.

Matty B (17:12)
the

Raider Wil (17:38)
and the system that we are producing offensively. Right now, go ahead.

Val (17:42)
kind of makes me wonder, sorry, sorry I was gonna say, it kind of makes me wonder, you know how I've been saying like there's some hesitation with Menchu? I wonder if there's just too much confusion and maybe there's too much of like switchbacks to where he's kind of getting confused in that portion or he's just not really feeling the confidence like how he should be because of how things are going.

Raider Wil (18:10)
I think it's the latter. think it's the confidence part because at this part, you're an NFL quarterback. If you can't understand the system, then you shouldn't be in the NFL and starting that, that, that would be a thing with coaching. Okay. Now, if your coach puts a guy out there, that's not confident in what he's doing, then that's just bad, bad coaching. exactly. So.

Allin (18:23)
100%.

Yeah, you don't put a guy out as not ready.

Raider Wil (18:40)
I think it's the latter where he's just not confident. He's hesitating. He's like, you know, there's a lot of pressure on this. Okay. Here's the problem with Raider nation. Yeah. We brought in a journeyman quarterback and automatically people think we're going to go to the fucking playoffs because last year we had a really good defense with an offense that struggled and they're like, well, all we need is a quarterback.

This is the problem with Raider Nation. It's not that you just need a fucking quarter. It's the play colors. It's the way that it meshes. It's the way that it all gets put together on the field. You can't just say, hey man, I got a bunch of circles and I'm going to put them into a square hole. It doesn't fucking fit. So again, this is where we got to look at it. We said, we brought in Gardner Menshue. Everybody was like, we are giving him

$25 million. $25 million ain't nothing for a starting quarterback in the NFL. Be realistic.

Allin (19:49)
And that's not annually, that's the contract.

Raider Wil (19:54)
That's the contract for two years.

Val (19:56)
So what's annually?

Allin (19:59)
He's getting like 12 and a half a year. It's not, know, starting quarterbacks are getting 60 million a year now.

Raider Wil (20:05)
So again Raider nation comes out and says we're going to go to them. No. Well, you know what? We just lost a Pro Bowl running back a Pro Bowl running back that made up for the lack of blocking up front Let's be real. We brought in Zeus. Everybody was like Zeus. Zeus. Zeus. We brought in Madison You saw a little bit of Madison. He better zone runner. Yes. He has a different skill set

Guys, these are not guys that are E-Level. Straight up.

So how can we come and say, guys, we're going to be better because we got Luke Getzee. Luke Getzee wasn't the beginning guy that we wanted from the get.

Matty B (20:56)
I think he was the last guy.

Raider Wil (20:59)
So we did it, yeah. No, no, they're like.

Allin (20:59)
Well, yeah, the last guy we wanted, but we were late to the fucking game.

Raider Wil (21:05)
Yeah, correct. We were late, but it's just like Maddy B said. It wasn't the first guy we wanted. Straight up. Kingsbury left. He said, hey.

Matty B (21:05)
Hello, I heard.

I think Kenbury was our first guy. had other options. You know what I mean? it was just we date, date. People, yep.

Raider Wil (21:23)
but no Kingsbury was the first guy that we signed he's the first guy that we said here's inked to pet or paint

Allin (21:24)
Yeah, but the-

And you know, the other guy we were calling, Kubiak, he said no, he wanted to go play with, he wanted to go coach DC and the Saints.

Raider Wil (21:34)
Yeah, we could, we called. Exactly. Exactly. So he wasn't even an option.

Allin (21:42)
Yeah, he didn't want it.

Raider Wil (21:44)
Yeah, he didn't want it. So the our first option was the guy that signed and then he left because then he said, hey, I don't see a plan to get a quarterback. I don't see a plan. You know, that's instilled. Great. Do whatever the fuck you want. But again. Yeah, he agreed to sign. Yeah.

Allin (21:59)
Yeah, we never signed them, we just agreed to hot, we agreed.

Matty B (22:02)
Yeah, it looks like a joint. It's like a handshake.

Allin (22:05)
Well, let me ask you this, okay? So, you know, I'm a big believer that guys are system. Most guys in the NFL are system guys. What was the linebacker that we had came back, played fucking great under Gruden, Perryman, right? He fucking balled out, made the Pro Bowl, right? Then we get Patrick Graham's scheme.

Raider Wil (22:24)
Yeah.

Yeah, Cover 3 Guy with Gus Bradley.

Allin (22:33)
and he's not so good in it, How many quarterbacks in the NFL, 32 starting quarterbacks, how many of those guys can you plug into any system and they're gonna be a fucking elite all-pro quarterback?

Matty B (22:48)
No, that's all a matter. I mean, no, okay, I take that back. take that back. Not none of them. I say maybe out of all of them, you could probably plug maybe like five out of all 32 quarterbacks. I think you could get like a Patrick Mahomes. I think you could get Lamar Jackson. I think you could get a Kirk Cousins. think you could get, and the reason why I say Kirk Cousins is because man, look at the places he's played and look at the fucking success he's had in every place he's played.

Allin (22:50)
Nah, I disagree with that.

I don't even know that you get the five.

Raider Wil (23:05)
Now hold up, so let me...

Matty B (23:18)
He has done good and he thrives in every system that he's been in. You know what I mean? So, know, like he's good. I could say, you know.

Allin (23:25)
Yeah, but his systems are very, you gotta look at Kirk Cousins. All the system Kirk Cousins have been in have been similar. They've all been a form, he was in Kyle Shanahan's system, and since then they've all been a form of Kyle Shanahan's system. I'm talking about how many guys can you plug in? Yeah.

Matty B (23:41)
Right?

Raider Wil (23:41)
But I'd like, let's, you asked me a question, okay? I'm gonna answer for you right now, all right? I get what you're asking. How many guys in the NFL can play in a different system? I'm gonna tell you, there's more guys that can play in different systems. It's this, it's how is the coach as the offensive coordinator able to adapt to the players that he's getting into a system and maximize.

the abilities of the players that they come into their system. That makes a huge difference. Now, if you're talking just saying, can this guy run zone read and this guy run a, you know, a spread, can this guy run a freaking whatever, you know, offensive system of the West coast system. Now there's going to be guys that are going to excel in the West coast, you know, because Hey,

they're better at the short game, read faster, they do stuff like that. Absolutely. But to say that there aren't guys that can do that and do other stuff, I'm going to say there's about three. I'm going to say I could think of three. Okay? I could think of three.

Allin (24:48)
I just think there's like...

Yeah, I'm thinking two to three, I'm thinking that are just elite all pro type quarterbacks that you could plug in anywhere and they're going to be legit.

Raider Wil (24:55)
Yeah.

Well, the reason that I think about that is because I think about the athleticism. Okay, when you're talking about systems, you're talking about guys that have to be able to, you know what, in some people's systems at Luke Getzey, okay, this is again why we come back to it. Everybody was saying Luke Getzey had the number one rushing offense last year, but why? Maddie B, you know why, I know why, hit him with it. Why did,

Matty B (25:26)
You gotta run, but you gotta quarterback that can run.

Raider Wil (25:29)
Exactly.

So, it's very good.

Matty B (25:32)
he didn't have that quarterback, I he would have been a dead last, like he would have been dead last in almost every category. Which would have showed Raider Nation that this was a bad signing to begin with.

Raider Wil (25:44)
So again, hey, you know, we already can see, I think it's a coaching issue. I think, hey, you can't buy into a system when the coach doesn't buy into you. It's like this. You know what? All in said it, who has that bad a confidence when you're in fourth down, you're gonna throw a screenplay. Or in third down and along, you're gonna throw a screenplay.

You're not even confident enough to say, let's buckle up. We're going to try to get this. You throw a damn screen.

Allin (26:19)
I what did we call on fourth and one? It was absolute terrible fucking play call.

Raider Wil (26:25)
Yep. But yeah,

Matty B (26:26)
Did we put on like fourth and two? Did we put on like fourth and two and their 40 yard line or something like that? Like within their 40 or something like that? Like. I this game too. I thought we had a really bad move. I thought for some reason I think we have won this game too.

Raider Wil (26:33)
Well, that's yeah, that was a couple games ago. That was a couple games ago. Yeah, that was that was a coaching issue. Definitely.

No, not this game. But yo guys, you know what? Let's move on from the game. Let's move a little bit forward. I'm going to start with Val on this question because she's been waiting patiently as we've just been bullshitting on other subjects. So yo, DA is back and AOC is starting. Is this a coincidence or is this something that you think got brewed up? And that's why now DA is according to AP.

He's a raider. He never stopped being a raider. So, Val, hit me with it.

Val (27:19)
I know earlier, I kind of mentioned that, I don't know, is he being a drama queen to get what he wants or, because I asked, know, Alan, you said that there wasn't any trade value in him, correct?

Allin (27:34)
Well, just note, not that there's no trade value in them, that nobody is willing to pay what Mark is set on not coming off of, which is a second round pick plus other compensation.

Val (27:36)
or

Okay, so what if they already knew that somebody would not pay? What if they already knew somebody wouldn't pay him? And I don't know, maybe it's all just for show to get what he wants. Or maybe he had enough of playing with Gardner and just wants to play with AOC because they were playing together, you know, they have a little bit more connection. I don't know. It's just kind of weird that...

I see is starting and all of a sudden things are back to normal and everybody's happy and dandy. I call bullshit. Sorry. There's there's more to this. There's more to it than.

Raider Wil (28:22)
Okay, okay, no, that's good.

Allin (28:25)
Yeah, for sure. I don't know that it's a quote-unquote back to normal. You know, maybe is AP fucking putting it out there like, hey, everything's all good to fucking help the trade. Like, hey, we're gonna keep him so pony up.

Val (28:39)
Or is he saying, or is he like, or is AP telling him like, hey, if we, you stay and give us a chance if we make AOC starting instead of Minchu? Like.

Allin (28:52)
No, I don't know that it's that, personally. I don't think so.

In this offense, I don't think AOC is going be much better than Gardner.

I hope I'm wrong, but I truly don't like... Fuck, this week alone TJ Watt is gonna fuckin' tear Gardner a new one unless the O-line fuckin' figures it out, cuz...

Raider Wil (29:06)
out

No, no, I get you. get you. the question was, again, it wasn't whether AOC is going to be successful and AOC is going to do this. DA is back. AOC is starting. Is this a coincidence? Or is this, this is where I'm saying, I'm like, it's not whether, you know, hey, we can debate whether our nemench is going to be better, but I'd be like, this is where we go.

Val (29:29)
Is it a continent?

Allin (29:32)
Okay.

Val (29:34)
It's not.

It's not

Allin (29:40)
Okay, again, is Devonte back? Is Devonte back or is AP saying that? we don't know. So Devonte, so hold on real quick. AP didn't say anything that's false, right? He's getting ready to come back. He's still a Raider and he's always been a Raider, which is, it's all facts. The guy's still a Raider. He hasn't.

Val (29:40)
No, it's not a coincidence.

Matty B (29:47)
Yeah, until I hear it. Hey, what is the what's the bond they said on your? Yeah, go ahead, don't.

Raider Wil (29:47)
Hey.

Allin (30:09)
He's not gone. He hasn't been dismissed from the team like Derek Carr was. Right? He hasn't been cut. He hasn't been traded. He hasn't been released. didn't say anything that's not new. To the new, like... He had to make a comment at some point.

Raider Wil (30:25)
No, you're right. No, you're you're

Val (30:29)
But they did ask him, is he going to play again as a Raider? And he said, yeah. Didn't he?

Allin (30:33)
If he's not traded and he's healthy, why wouldn't he?

Raider Wil (30:36)
No, no, no, I have to put again. This is why we say, hey, I get what you're saying. We could say, hey, coincidence or do you think T.A. was like, hey, man, and I'm going to I'm going to answer some questions because I'll follow up. But go ahead. No, that'd be better. Yeah, go ahead. Jump in, Matty B. Go ahead.

Matty B (30:53)
Hey, can I say something real quick?

think honestly, it's just ploy. It's distract you on it. So in my opinion, this is why I say that. Because he is... He's gotta say what he's gotta say, right? There's other rumors that are going around about this. He's trying to calm the fan base down. He's trying to get everybody on the same page. don't think... What has Devontae said all year?

Raider Wil (31:02)
okay, okay.

Matty B (31:27)
Until you hear it out of my mouth, then it's all bullshit, right?

Raider Wil (31:33)
True? Hey, hey, I'm there, I, hey, hold up, what?

Val (31:34)
Yeah, but, but, but...

Matty B (31:35)
Hey, have we heard anything? Have we heard anything out of Devante right now that it is said that he is coming back and he's playing for the Raider and he's still a Raider? So in panel, I hear it from Devante. I don't think he.

Val (31:42)
But do you really think that?

Raider Wil (31:43)
No. Wait, wait, wait, wait. Have we heard from the Bonte saying that he wants to trade?

Matty B (31:53)
With people in the insider saying that he said that, then...

Raider Wil (31:55)
I know but that's people on the inside you can't say he said it you.

Allin (31:57)
You... Yeah, you're con... Can't contradict what you're saying.

Matty B (32:00)
I guess, yeah, I guess, okay, I guess I can see where you're coming from. What?

Raider Wil (32:03)
right?

Val (32:04)
But if he really wasn't going to come back and play as a Raider, don't you think he would have said something after AP said he's going to play again as a Raider? If it wasn't true.

Allin (32:14)
Did AP say for sure he was gonna play?

Val (32:17)
And he said he's working on getting better and he'll play again as a Raider.

Raider Wil (32:20)
He's rehabbing the hamstring. is like he's rehabbing the hamstring and as soon as he's... I wish I would have saved that recording. You know what? Next time I'll have that stuff like that ready. But yo, he said, hey, he's gonna rehab that hamstring back and when he's ready to go that he'll play. Like if you know he's ready. Now again...

Val (32:25)
Will, could you play it back?

Raider Wil (32:47)
I agree with all you guys. This is where it's so interesting, okay?

I believe that all this right might be a point. This might be a front by the Raider saying, hey man, we're all good. Happy Lala. Everybody's here. Everybody's kumbaya. And this guy's really upset. But this for me is not a coincidence. I think if AP really did call

Devante Devante is like dude Gardner Menchoo is not the guy I want at quarterback I Feel because hey did anybody of you did any three of you or anybody here? Feel like Gardner Menchoo won the job in the preseason

Allin (33:40)
I don't think either quarterback won the job in the preseason.

Matty B (33:41)
I I'm gonna tell you the thing. don't need to hear that.

Raider Wil (33:42)
No, but I mean, did you expect Gardner Mentor to be named a starter?

Allin (33:47)
Yeah, I did. like I said before, you don't pay a guy that kind of money to come sit the bench. I personally don't.

Raider Wil (33:49)
You did? Okay.

that that. no but with his performance on the field.

Matty B (33:54)
And not only that, you gotta look at.

Val (33:54)
Yeah, but okay, so but at the same time at the same

Allin (33:59)
I personally don't think that, I personally don't think there was ever a true quarterback competition. I think it was Gardner from the gate.

Raider Wil (34:09)
For me, I'm gonna tell you like this. I thought AOC would start this season. I feel like AOC did a better job in the preseason than Gardner-Mensue. I feel like Gardner-Mensue had a lot of big splash plays, but I felt like AOC would start the season. That's the way I thought. Now when I was surprised when Gardner-Mensue started, and I'm gonna tell you. Okay, so Maddie B, how did you feel

Val (34:34)
I was surprised as well.

Raider Wil (34:40)
I'll be like, did you expect Gardner-Menschen to start or were you on the A? AOC's gonna start.

Matty B (34:44)
I thought AOC should have started, but I was, from what I was hearing and like reading up was the mobility. And I think that is what won him the job, was the mobility. I think everybody knows what you're gonna get with AOC. You know you're not gonna get him to move around. You know you're not gonna get him to do this. So I think what they tried to do is,

Raider Wil (34:59)
Yep. Correct.

Matty B (35:10)
They went with the mobility to see because, our offensive line isn't that great. We can't really, we're not running these plays. We're kind of a dink and dunk offense, but if we have pressure, we have a quarterback that can get out of that pressure. And that's why they brought Minshew in and that's why they started him. I think AOC played better, like you said, in the preseason and was a better quarterback, but Minshew had the move. And that's where they were like, hey, we're going to start him and see what it's like. You know what I mean?

So that's where I've seen it come from. And that's where I've seen it. But I thought AOC should have had to start to begin with, but I think it was the mobility.

Raider Wil (35:38)
Yeah.

Allin (35:45)
How are we judging he played better in the preseason? He had less scoring drives than fucking Gardner.

Raider Wil (35:51)
Here's what I look at, okay? I don't look at it.

Matty B (35:52)
I'm talking, I'm not talking like you're talking. But if you're talking like I get like you're scoring drives and stuff like that, right? Because that's what you're looking at. But if you're looking at like the accuracy, the you know, when you're looking at the accuracy and you're looking at where, hey, I'm throwing this ball down here, I might not have thrown a bunch of big splash plays like Minshew, but how many deep balls did Minshew miss in preseason on those deep balls compared to the ones that AOC was hitting? He might not have had a bunch of them, but he was hitting his targets and his targets were

Raider Wil (36:03)
That's what I'm looking at.

Allin (36:05)
Yeah, but you also gotta look at it.

Matty B (36:22)
to being completed for big games.

Raider Wil (36:25)
Here's my thing. Okay, so so I'll start with this.

Allin (36:26)
I will we gotta remember to real quick will you gotta remember to AOC had a had nine games with all the guys Gardner didn't

Raider Wil (36:34)
Correct? Correct?

Matty B (36:35)
Yeah, but look at how many games Garner's had in his career and how many times Garner's failed his, you know what I mean?

Allin (36:39)
I don't that Matt that don't that don't matter you still you could play a thousand games you're still not going to be on rhythm with guys because you got to build a you got to build timing down guys every receiver is different.

Raider Wil (36:50)
Yeah, I agree with that to a certain extent.

Matty B (36:52)
But that's where I was also coming down with his mobility He has mobility over what Garner has and if you had the mobility you got the experience Everybody knows what you're get with ninshe because he's been on different teams, right? You know, he's got mobility. You know, he can create the play on the run You know, he can do what he can do. He's done it in several teams Mention had nine games. Like you said, he had nine games compared to how many men shoes had

Raider Wil (37:14)
I'm so confused because now you're going mince you and mince you and you just said mince you three times Yeah, so hold on Okay

Matty B (37:18)
Sorry, Mitch, you're in O-Oak-Montal. Sorry, Mitch, you're in O'Connell. Sorry, Mitch, you're in O'Connell. You got Mitch, you a Tony game.

Allin (37:18)
Yeah, and here's the thing too, everyone's screamed like AOC deserves the job because he started last year, right? Let's pump the brakes on that real quick because, and the other argument I'm fucking tired of hearing is AOC beat the Chiefs. you're right. AOC beat the Chiefs on 50 fucking yards throwing, like, come on, man.

Raider Wil (37:28)
No,

Matty B (37:32)
I didn't say that.

Raider Wil (37:39)
No, no, no, no, no, no. It's not that. Yeah. Yeah. Hold on. So hold on. Hold on. Okay. This is where you, you asked a question. You said, what do we got to look at to say how, why do we feel that he won that position in the preseason? Okay. I don't look at whether you score or not and look at that. Okay. Because at the same time, I believe that happens because of play calling and efficiency, et cetera. Right.

Matty B (37:44)
Derek Carter beat the Chiefs too, so what?

Raider Wil (38:09)
What I look at is, do you turn over the football?

to the guys rally around you. Are you a leader where the guys can look at you in the huddle and they're gonna fight with you no matter whether you win or lose? Okay. Then I look at, hey, can this guy really control the team and keep it moving in a positive direction?

Matty B (38:29)
you

Val (38:35)
I don't see that between the team and Minju.

Raider Wil (38:40)
I, this is where I feel like, okay, when I looked at the preseason, I get, I know what all in a say, man, you know, we get enamored with the touchdown. We get enamored with guys looking good against second stringers or looking good against guys that are out there, you know, just jogging around and, really not putting in maximum effort. That's what sucks about the preseason. The preseason is a really

Really difficult measuring stick because you're not gonna have all your studs out there people are really vanilla When you air are a veteran quarterback, you should look good in the preseason You should be tearing teams apart because they're playing basic coverages and That's something I didn't see out of garden I get that a OCs in the second year and people are like, yeah, you know what but still man it takes the

Allin (39:35)
I didn't think AOC did it either.

Raider Wil (39:38)
I don't think he did. But what I'm saying is he's in year one or two of his real career. Okay. He got thrown into the fire at nine games in. Yeah, he has nine games in, but really it's five games because if you would have counted a preseason for him, that's four games in preseason.

Right? And then he comes or three games in preseason or whatever, you know, he has five real games.

Allin (40:05)
Well, he played the preseason last year,

Raider Wil (40:08)
Yeah, but you know, that's again, that doesn't count. mean, like, have you really thought about, I don't even think that doesn't really like better, but the games that he played was not. Right.

Allin (40:15)
Right, then don't.

Yeah, he played 98, but he balled out and that's why everybody fucking loved him because he balled out in the preseason under McDaniels.

Raider Wil (40:26)
in the preseason. Correct. But that's why we're saying it's a poor measurement spin. But he tore it up and he knew that offense and he understood it. I feel like this at this moment in time, I'm with Val.

If you look at the team, tell me the Raiders offense believes in Gardner Mention.

Allin (40:49)
I don't think the Raiders offense believes in the Raiders offense.

Raider Wil (40:53)
And it might be, you might be correct, but tell me like this. You might not believe in like whatever your company is doing, right? But if you have a really good leader, are you going to follow them probably? Like at work, you know, sometimes you go like, man, I don't really think this is probably the right way, but this guy is really fucking good at what he does. So I'm going to follow him. And we're going to follow that lead. I believe that there's sometimes like that, right? And you're going to have

Like even in war, you might have bad generals, but you've got a good lieutenant and a good captain.

And that guy's gonna motivate the troops to make it happen. That's where I feel like the Raiders are. We have a bunch of bad generals and we have a good couple captains. But that's where I'm saying, yo, I feel like AOC was just a little bit more efficient and AOC didn't have the turnover to shoot. That was my thing. But yo, let's move forward. Guys, this game proved that the Raiders, even though we are supposed to be a monster defense, we have

defensive issues all over the place. What is your guys suggestions, your guys concerns and thoughts on the Raiders defense this past game? Let me start with... all in.

Allin (42:14)
My bad, clearing the phone off. It's definitely not elite like it was predicted to be, right? I mean, is it even a top 15 defense at this point? We can't stop the run even when we started the season.

Linebacker, mean, we just, got depth issues all over. I mean, linebackers, Eichenberg and fucking Spillane. Eichenberg's gonna be a dude and we already know Spillane is a dude.

D-line's beat up. It just seems to be getting fucking worse, right? Now two of our guys we were projected to have big years are out in Coons and Wilkins. Tyree just really hasn't taken the step. He's played well, but he hasn't taken the step. I wanna know what's up with, was it Bernie?

Raider Wil (42:58)
Mm-hmm.

Yeah, I'm Mario Burnie.

Allin (43:11)
That dude had a great preseason. Why isn't he getting any looks? Like the dude was, he played really, really well. I don't know what the answer is, man.

You know, they played with...

Matty B (43:23)
We'll probably be hearing about him here soon with the injury, this is not the kit we got, you know? I mean, I'm sure we're gonna be pulled up off the practice squad here eventually.

Allin (43:27)
I hope.

I

Raider Wil (43:34)
Yeah.

Allin (43:34)
Hope man. I don't even know if he's off. No, he made the 53 man roster. He's not on the practice squad He made the 53 man roster No, he made the roster so he's been there he hadn't been on the injury report or nothing and then I think missing Diablo hurts too Because he could cover You know Masterson can't cover where the fuck but he's out now. Anyway, so that don't matter It's just a mess man

Matty B (43:38)
Well, he did make the 53 man. OK, so I thought he was on the practice block for some reason.

Big time.

No.

Man, we just got a lot of injuries on our side.

Allin (44:08)
The whole team is a mess. Everybody's got injuries though, man. Look at the Rams, the 49ers. mean, it's been an injury-plagued NFL season.

Matty B (44:18)
Mm-hmm.

Raider Wil (44:18)
And guess what? We have the same record as the 49ers. Who would have thought that?

Allin (44:22)
Yeah. Yep.

Yeah, everybody's Super Bowl picking the Jets. They're 2-3-2. And that defense is supposed to be top five.

Raider Wil (44:27)
I'd be like, hey, Matty B.

Yup.

and they're having problems. So, Matty B, got defensive issues. I know you're a defensive coordinator, baby. Hit me up with your solutions over there.

Matty B (44:48)
man, you gotta have depth, you know? That's where it all starts. If you ain't got depth, mean, you're basically plugging guys in and just hoping for the best. So, you know, how are our guys and the next man up? You gotta have the next man up, you know? And that's where that's mentality's gotta come in. This is where the Max Crosby mentality needs to come in from everybody that practices with that guy, you know? He puts it out there on tape. He puts it out there and you guys, and he shows it, you know? And if you can,

dig into that yourself. We could have depth. could have people that go out there and put in that extra work. We could stop the shit that we're not working on right now. You know what mean? So you just, like I said, it all comes down to how you plug in your players, man. You gotta be able to put your players in the right position to win. And if you're not gonna put them in that position to win, then we're gonna get beat every time. Doesn't matter if...

I mean, if you made that 53-man roster, it's because you know what you're doing. So do your job.

Raider Wil (45:52)
Gotcha.

Matty B (45:53)
And injuries, like I said, injuries are another big thing that's hurting us right now. You know, so I mean, yeah, you're gonna, you're not expecting a bunch of this to happen. And when you're sitting third and fourth string, you're not expecting it to happen. You know, you're, you're, I got these guys in front of me. got these guys in front of me. And then you're slacking. And then by the time it comes around to you, shit, I'm up. I've been slacking this whole fucking time. You know what I mean? So that's where you got to keep that mentality of next man up and hey, this could be my time any given moment, man.

Allin (46:20)
Stay ready, you ain't got to get ready.

Raider Wil (46:20)
No, absolutely. Absolutely. Val!

Matty B (46:22)
Exactly.

Allin (46:24)
Hey, what do you guys think about Devin White? Like I, the dude's a pro bowl player, right? They just got cut, hasn't played a down for the Eagles. They signed him to a one year deal. They just released him. Man, I mean, you

Matty B (46:38)
Everybody's injury he's like always injured man he's. Anybody's good you know yet he's good for a couple games even to help you out but he's got injury problem.

Raider Wil (46:38)
I just, we talked about-

Allin (46:43)
Devin White's always injured.

Dude he was at... Does he? I didn't know that. No, he just signed with the Eagles. Dude he was a baller with the Bucs. Yeah, this is his first year he left. Yeah, he left. He just got cut by the Eagles. He hasn't played it down. He signed with them this offseason.

Matty B (46:52)
He plays with bucks, right? Devin White?

Raider Wil (46:55)
Well, he used to play.

Matty B (46:57)
I think I got drafted by the Bucks.

Raider Wil (47:00)
No, no, no. Yeah, you're right. You're right, Matty B. Yeah, you're talking about the same guy.

Matty B (47:10)
well, there's a reason why he got cut and he hasn't been playing because there's something going on with the guy. I'm not saying he's not a good player. I think he's a great player. He was a good player when he came out. He was the top, but like 10 pick, I think. I think he was a top 10 pick. And, but yeah, I mean, there's just something, I mean, he's got cut for a reason. You know what I mean? Like there's, you gotta look into that shit, you know? So there's something behind the scenes that's going on.

Allin (47:15)
That's what I'm saying.

Raider Wil (47:35)
Gotcha.

Matty B (47:35)
But I agree with you, he's a great player. I wouldn't mind picking him up and giving him a shot if he's just sitting out there. You know, it's better than what we got on our team right now.

Allin (47:42)
Yeah, if he could help our team like Jack Jones did.

Matty B (47:45)
Exactly, exactly.

Raider Wil (47:48)
Alright, yo. Yo, Val!

Defensive issues for the Raiders.

What do you think is the solution to solve the problem? We've talked Debt and White, we've talked bringing in free agents, we've talked ski, we've talked debt. What do you think?

Val (48:13)
have an answer.

Raider Wil (48:15)
Hey, you know what? I like the truth. This is more than a combination of things. It's like Raul said, hey, there's no one answer to this, We keep saying, hey, All-In brought in Devin White. Devin White is the same type of player that Spillane is. We talked about it. We are running a 4-2-5 system.

Val (48:19)
Hehehe.

Raider Wil (48:39)
And that 4-2-5 system, that weak side linebacker has to be able to cover guys in space, has to be able to cover tight ends, has to be able to cover guys in those short areas. Devin White suffers in coverage. Spillane and him are the similar type of linebacker. They are both Mike linebackers. And all in brought in a point. Eichenberg is coming along.

So my thing is this, why bring another player that plays the same position where we don't have issues at? That doesn't have a different dimension that can cover the weakness that we have,

We kinda have to look for a guy.

but we kind of don't. Okay. So the way that we can look at, I think the way that we really can remedy the issues with stopping the run is by finding a guy that's a two or a plugger of Vince Wilfork, a guy that's built to stop the run, a Hankins. Do you guys remember John Hankins?

Matty B (49:53)
Robin Ankin, yes sir.

Allin (49:55)
Game away for nothing.

Raider Wil (49:55)
So we need a big body dude like that. Malcolm Butler is coming along. Don't get me wrong. Or Adam Butler. He did some plays. be like, we saw that. I saw it this week, live. The play went away from him. But he was five yards deep pushing his guy. So the kid got talent. And the kid got heart. Well, you know, that's a stupid move.

Allin (50:03)
Adam Butler.

Please.

And then he injured Wilkins.

Matty B (50:22)
Yeah, I think I was just more like, I don't think he did it. It was a fluke, you know.

Raider Wil (50:27)
No, it is, but it's a thing where the Raiders had a lot of them and a lot of fuck ups and a lot of issues. had a lot of penalties. We had a lot of things where we shot ourselves in the foot. And that's where we can't have those issues. can't have... Yeah, exactly. We can't have those issues. We're not that team that can have turnovers, that can give up pick sixes and then expect to win games.

Allin (50:41)
shit we haven't been doing under AP.

Matty B (50:51)
Dude, our turnover is just fucking getting like, and our penalties, what the fuck is going on with the penalties too, man? We are killing our film.

Raider Wil (50:54)
out of hand. This is where we keep saying guys, hey, what did we say at the beginning of the season? What was the formula for us to win? All in setting, right? Run the ball, don't turn the ball over, play good defense, right? And we'll be all right. All three things we are not doing. So, well, yeah.

Allin (51:04)
Run the ball, don't turn it over.

I think we're doing two of them. Let alone all three or any of the three.

Raider Wil (51:22)
So again, it's like Val said, I don't know lots of issues, things we gotta fix, things we gotta look at. But now guys, let's get into our weekly pick them. So yo, Val hit us with the last week's stats. All right, so she got the board out. Hit me with it.

Matty B (51:39)
One minute.

Allin (51:43)
Not this guy.

Val (51:51)
So, all right. So, Alan.

For week five, yours was five, nine.

Matty B (52:05)
That's my height.

Raider Wil (52:05)

Allin (52:12)
Yeah.

Val (52:15)

Raider Wil (52:18)
Elgunny wherever you're at. I know that you're hating life right now cuz we suck but yo Killing it break it deep baby

Val (52:28)

Raider Wil (52:33)

Raider Wil (52:39)
HAHAHAHA

Val (52:39)

Maddie B, you tied up with Granny 7-7.

Matty B (52:50)

Val (52:51)
But we know Bulba is on his shit. So he got this week by with eight six.

Matty B (53:00)
By one? By one? You tell me that's how much I lost by?

Raider Wil (53:06)
Yeah.

Allin (53:07)
A, the NFL is wild this year. It's like... competitively, it's really fucking balanced this year.

Val (53:08)
Hello.

Raider Wil (53:13)
It's balanced. We talked about it.

Matty B (53:15)
It was the fucking Steelers, bro. They lost to the fucking Cowboys. That's what fucking killed me, fucking game pissed me off, dude.

Allin (53:19)
Yeah, that that fucked me too.

Val (53:24)
So.

Allin (53:25)
In the goddamn books. Fuck the books.

Val (53:28)
Hmm

Raider Wil (53:28)
Alright, so what's the talk?

Matty B (53:28)
I told you that game wasn't gonna go. I told you they were gonna lose that game, bro. I sat there and told you last week they were gonna lose that game.

Raider Wil (53:32)
But give us the total standings for right there. Where we at?

Val (53:38)
Okay, so all in all, let's see. So last week, Allen and Gunny were tied first. Bovo was second. Maddie B was third. Will was fourth and I was last. Now, with this update, first place running right now is Gunny, 27-19.

Raider Wil (54:02)
Gunny, with the winner winner chicken dinner right now.

Val (54:07)
Bova second place 2620.

Raider Wil (54:13)

Val (54:14)
Yeah. Allen went from first to third. Twenty-one.

Maddie B, 24, 22. Will is 21, 25. And of course, I'm last, so we don't have to discuss mine.

Allin (54:35)
Nah, hey, you can put everybody else on blast. Put your shit out there too.

Raider Wil (54:36)

Matty B (54:40)
Hahaha!

Val (54:40)

Matty B (54:45)
Very good.

Allin (54:45)
Hey, you- hey, I was in a three-way tie for last, and you singled me out. Eat a dick.

Raider Wil (54:50)
Hehehehehe

Val (54:51)
You've been in first place, don't even.

Matty B (54:51)
hahahahah

Allin (54:53)
I don't give a fuck.

Raider Wil (54:55)
Alright, alright.

Matty B (54:55)
I went from third place to fourth place and you got a shitty record.

Raider Wil (55:00)
Be here.

Val (55:00)
No.

Allin (55:01)
I had a good record the week before.

Raider Wil (55:04)
Yo, alright guys, so yo, now we got this week's Pick Vow, hit us with it.

Val (55:06)
All right.

All right, so we've got San Francisco at Seattle. Mavi B.

Matty B (55:18)
San Francisco has Seattle. man, give me... You know what? Give me Seattle on that game.

Val (55:31)
And I'm actually with you there, Maddy B.

Matty B (55:34)
Yeah, I just I don't know they're dead San Francisco's defense looks like garbage right now. That's too much too much going on over there.

Allin (55:40)
They should have hired Ravosala yesterday.

Val (55:40)
Alan.

Matty B (55:42)
Yeah.

Raider Wil (55:43)
That's exactly what he said yesterday too.

Allin (55:47)
He got fired at 10 o'clock. I'm on the phone at 1001. that game's in Seattle tomorrow night

Matty B (55:50)
Alright, let's go.

Val (55:51)
Hehehe.

Raider Wil (55:51)
You

Allin (55:56)
Who's out for the Niners? got anybody? D-Bo's back, right? Kiddles back? and McCaffrey's supposed to be back. Man, give me Frisco.

Raider Wil (56:04)
I'd say so.

Matty B (56:07)
shit, is he?

I gotta fix my shit.

Raider Wil (56:12)
Ha ha ha ha ha!

Matty B (56:13)
I've been waiting all season for McCaffrey to get back in man. guy's been sitting on my eye all week, all year.

Allin (56:19)
Last I saw, he was slated to be back this week.

Matty B (56:24)
I had my... Yeah, go ahead. Sorry, my bad. I'll talk to you later about it.

Val (56:24)
So mad.

Raider Wil (56:29)
No, no, no, he's talking about up. He's talking fantasy football. Yo, I'm gonna go with. Don't. No, no, no, no, he's he got Seattle.

Matty B (56:31)
Yeah, I'll talk to later about it.

Allin (56:35)
Hahaha

Val (56:36)
I'm so confused right now. Are you changing your mind?

Allin (56:41)
No, he got Seattle.

Val (56:43)
Okay, you can't confuse me like that buddy.

Matty B (56:46)
You

Raider Wil (56:47)
Alright, go. So I'm gonna go with the 49ers on this one. If McCaffrey's back and they're fully loaded, I feel like they're gonna have enough offensive firepower to win it.

Allin (56:48)
It ain't hard to do, Matt.

Matty B (56:50)
Sorry.

Allin (57:02)
Brock Purdy's been ballin' without weapons.

Raider Wil (57:04)
Yep.

Val (57:06)
Let me see, and.

Allin (57:07)
65 million a year. It's come and watched.

Raider Wil (57:12)
Yes, sir.

Val (57:13)
Gunny and Bo were having sent their pigs, so we'll move on to the next.

Raider Wil (57:17)
Well, hit them up, yeah.

Allin (57:17)
If they don't get them in, they both get an L.

Val (57:21)
Yep. All right. So Sunday, 830 a.m. in London, we've got Jacksonville and Chicago.

Raider Wil (57:21)
Yep.

Matty B (57:21)
So.

Raider Wil (57:32)
Man, look at that thorough report right there. Jacksonville, 7.30 a.m. Man, that is thorough, thorough, thorough. In London, Jags bears.

Matty B (57:34)
Thank you

Allin (57:41)
in London.

Val (57:48)
Ready?

Matty B (57:49)
I got the Jags in that game. That's their hometown, bro. They ain't losing at home. Not against the measly Bears. Williams gonna be washed up by the time he gets there.

Val (58:00)
Allen.

Allin (58:02)
Do you say the measly bears? That defense is for real though. Jacksonville barely beat Indy. I'm gonna go the Bears.

Matty B (58:06)
Yeah, that quarterback is kind of a girly girl.

Raider Wil (58:06)
Yep.

Val (58:14)
Goodbye.

Matty B (58:18)
I really have tea.

Val (58:18)
Will?

Raider Wil (58:21)
Really, man, I think I'm almost with Maddie B and I think the Jags but as soon as Alvin brought in the Bears defense.

Matty B (58:34)
Yeah, we got it. Yeah. Okay. Okay. Good. Choose the bears. Good. Good.

Raider Wil (58:38)
A defense defense travels bears.

Matty B (58:41)
Okay, I'll call you on that game. You like it?

Val (58:43)
Yeah.

Allin (58:47)
please don't, it's early.

Raider Wil (58:47)
No worries, bro.

Val (58:52)
I choose there's two Arizona at the Green Bay will

Raider Wil (59:00)
Arizona at Green Bay.

Allin (59:06)
That's actually gonna be a pretty good game, I think.

Raider Wil (59:09)
Yeah, that's going to be a really tough game. I'm going to go with Green Bay. feel like warm weather teams have a tough time traveling up to Lambeau Field at any time of the year. So I'm just going to say, yo, I'm going to go Green Bay.

Val (59:25)
Okay, Alan.

Allin (59:32)
Arizona's just so fucking spotty the one week. They're great next week. They get blown out by fucking 30 something

Val (59:43)
Last week wasn't so bad.

Matty B (59:45)
Did Green Bay win last week? I did. yeah, right.

Allin (59:48)
Yeah, they beat the Rams.

Uhhh, fuck man that's a tough game. Go Pat, go.

Val (59:56)
All right, you think about it. Maddie B. All right, cheesehead. Got it.

Raider Wil (59:59)
Go, go, Pack, go, he said. He whipped Pack.

Matty B (1:00:04)
you know what? Yeah, give me the Packers on that one. We'll take Packers.

Val (1:00:04)
Matt?

Allin (1:00:14)
And Kyler Murray's been a dude this year.

Matty B (1:00:17)
He had, but like you say, he's been spotty too, man. Like that offense been spotty. But he's been good, been good when he's been on fire.

Raider Wil (1:00:18)
yeah, he's turned in the corner.

When he's on, he's on. When he's off, he's off.

Matty B (1:00:29)
Yep, when he's off he ain't Kind like a light.

Raider Wil (1:00:35)
And we must be rocket scientists here.

Val (1:00:41)
Colts at Tennessee.

Allin (1:00:44)
That's a shit game.

What is Tennessee's record?

Matty B (1:00:50)
Garbage.

Raider Wil (1:00:50)
They're bad.

Allin (1:00:52)
Did they have a bye last week?

Val (1:00:52)
One.

Matty B (1:00:55)
No, they're one in five, think, or one in four.

Raider Wil (1:00:57)
Yeah, they're like one in five or one in four. They're terrible.

Val (1:01:00)
I they're one, I thought they were one in four.

Raider Wil (1:01:03)
Yeah, I think so too. They're one of four or something.

Allin (1:01:04)
Is Joe Flacco playing quarterbacks still?

Raider Wil (1:01:09)
Yeah, I think so.

Val (1:01:11)
Alan.

Allin (1:01:15)
Fuck, I don't know. Let me go get a coin. That's a division game too, man. So that can all, I mean, that could be turned out to be the best game of the fucking week, being a division game. mean, it's at Tennessee or at Indy?

Raider Wil (1:01:26)
Yep.

at Tennessee.

Allin (1:01:35)
I'm gonna go to the Colts. I don't trust Will Levis.

Raider Wil (1:01:40)
just put yeah he said will love us I'm just Colts Colts Colts yeah you see he said will love us as soon as he said will love us let's say go the other way

Matty B (1:01:44)
Yeah, cool.

Allin (1:01:44)
Ha ha.

Val (1:01:45)
Well, so all three of you are cults.

Matty B (1:01:48)
Yeah, cool.

Allin (1:01:50)
Hahaha!

Matty B (1:01:53)
You said Will Lettuce I said... Did Marky Cuzzle?

Allin (1:02:01)
Yeah, he's getting to that level.

Raider Wil (1:02:02)
See ya.

Matty B (1:02:03)
Nice socks,

Raider Wil (1:02:06)
There's too many mistakes.

Val (1:02:06)
Houston sorry.

Matty B (1:02:17)
Let's go. I got this. Houston.

Raider Wil (1:02:23)
H-Town!

Val (1:02:25)
all of you for Houston.

Matty B (1:02:27)
Yeah.

Allin (1:02:28)
Yeah, New England's terrible.

Raider Wil (1:02:30)
Yeah, I mean there's no hope CJ stratt is about to have a game if you

Matty B (1:02:33)
Yeah, they're they're telling them. They're telling them to bench to Kobe Brissette and put in the rookie because they're that terrible.

Allin (1:02:33)
And they're-

No, they did. He's starting this week.

Matty B (1:02:41)
Is he starting this week? shit man, see that? fuck man.

Raider Wil (1:02:42)
Hmm

Val (1:02:46)
Tampa Bay at New Orleans,

Matty B (1:02:50)
Tampa.

Allin (1:02:50)
Derek, Derek cars out multiple weeks, Tampa.

Raider Wil (1:02:54)
Tampa.

Val (1:02:57)
Ma, what did-

Raider Wil (1:02:57)
As soon as he said that, cars out Tampa.

Matty B (1:03:00)
Tampa.

Allin (1:03:00)
Val who have your last three picks been? You're just writing them down. How do we know you're not changing them while you're gone?

Raider Wil (1:03:08)
Okay, Val, give us your last three, Val. Give us your last three picks.

Matty B (1:03:08)
She just picked nose.

Allin (1:03:09)
You're Yeah, you're You're awful silent over there, Val.

Val (1:03:14)
Arizona.

Tennessee, New England.

Raider Wil (1:03:20)
She's going opposite of whatever we're going with.

Allin (1:03:21)
She did everything we didn't do.

Val (1:03:23)
It's definitely me.

Raider Wil (1:03:29)
Okay, No, hey, at least she's keeping it real.

Alright.

Val (1:03:36)
Cleveland at Philly.

Matty B (1:03:36)
Yeah, come on.

Val (1:03:41)
I truthfully.

Matty B (1:03:42)
Do that feeling.

Raider Wil (1:03:43)
Both teams are struggling, but hey, I'm gonna tell you like this. Do you guys did you guys expect these teams to be this bad?

Allin (1:03:43)
Cleveland.

No.

Raider Wil (1:03:53)
Matt?

Val (1:03:53)
I was gonna say the brows, yeah.

Matty B (1:03:54)
did the Brown. I mean, just with the, with Watson. Yeah, with Watson at the helm. think, yeah, cause I don't, I don't, that guy sucks, dude. I'm so glad we didn't waste money on that dude. Like.

Raider Wil (1:04:02)
No, no, I get it, I'm like, dude, I didn't think that they would be this bad.

Allin (1:04:06)
Yeah, but that defense was supposed to be...

Matty B (1:04:09)
Yeah, but they're almost in the same position we are they've got some guys that are her and they got no debt, you know like

Raider Wil (1:04:15)
Dude, they're in a worse position than we are because they got $200 million, China.

Matty B (1:04:21)
yeah, contract wise, yeah, they're in a of a worse position, but I mean, like they should have had a way better defense than what we had, but their depth sucks, dude. Like they got nothing behind Miles Garrett.

Allin (1:04:29)
They're, hey, they're gonna draft the quarterback.

Val (1:04:30)
So cheers.

Raider Wil (1:04:31)
Okay, I'm about to go Philly. I'm about to go Philly, all right? I'm about go Philly. like, know that I was waiting. I'm like, shit, my bad. Philly, Philly. I think that's who.

Matty B (1:04:38)
Mm-hmm.

Yeah, I got feeling too.

Raider Wil (1:04:45)
We was talking so bad about the Browns.

Allin (1:04:45)
Third.

Matty B (1:04:47)
Send a Browns defense in my fantasy, bro. That's my fantasy defense has been Browns. And they're garbage.

Raider Wil (1:04:55)
He went, he went pillied.

Allin (1:04:56)
I said Philly.

Val (1:04:57)
I didn't hear you. I'm so sorry.

Allin (1:05:00)
So you pick Cleveland, all right?

Val (1:05:02)
No, I choose Philly.

Raider Wil (1:05:05)
She wanted the Basaji Basaji team.

Matty B (1:05:10)
Now you're mad.

Allin (1:05:10)
Hey, they're gonna drop the quarterback this year.

Val (1:05:15)
Washington, Baltimore.

Raider Wil (1:05:15)
He's like, that's a game.

Allin (1:05:17)
That's a game. That is a game. Washington at Baltimore.

Val (1:05:19)
I choose Baltimore.

Yep, I just bought some already.

Matty B (1:05:23)
I don't know.

Raider Wil (1:05:25)
I'm gonna go with Val. I'm gonna go with Val. I'm gonna tell you what, John Harbog is gonna prepare a game plan for Jaden Daniels. That is gonna be... Insane. I see that. I'm with him.

Val (1:05:36)
Nah.

Matty B (1:05:37)
Hey, you know what? Check this out. I'm gonna go Washington in this game. And they're gonna be like, this dude's a fucking beast, bro. This dude's a fucking guy that fucking they done fucking missed out on the number one pick. That's the guy that should have went number one right here. This is gonna be the game that proved that Dave Daniels is the dude.

Val (1:05:41)
Redskins.

Raider Wil (1:05:53)
Alright.

Allin (1:05:53)
No, that game's coming when they play each other in two weeks.

Val (1:05:56)
Boop, Alan.

Raider Wil (1:05:58)
mean, Chicago sucks! They're not even good! They're not a marker team! That's not a marker team.

Matty B (1:06:01)
Chicago style speed.

Allin (1:06:01)
Yeah, hey, all the hype, you better fuck it. Hey, Chicago's got, Chicago's got a better record than we do.

Matty B (1:06:05)
Dude, Dano's already proven that he's better, bro. Like, he just...

Raider Wil (1:06:10)
Yeah, but we're sitting here. You're acting like we're going to be sitting here like we're a really good team. No, we're not a good team.

Allin (1:06:15)
I'm just saying, I'm just saying the show, like the showdown, like hey, it's gonna be quarterback, that's gonna be quarterback versus quarterback.

Matty B (1:06:20)
Yeah, I mean, it'd probably be good showdown with William. My opinion, my only thinking that one is fucking just what's his name? Williams is just not that he's just not like Daniels, bro. He's just not built like him. Daniels is a different breed, Whole different breed.

Raider Wil (1:06:22)
I get it.

no. Yep.

Allin (1:06:35)
I thought Daniel's was too small, bro.

Matty B (1:06:38)
You're right. I've done the same shit. I said it all year. I know I said it all year.

Raider Wil (1:06:39)
He's skinny.

Allin (1:06:42)
No, you thought that!

Raider Wil (1:06:42)
But you know, hey, hold on. Hey, don't get too carried away because remember the RG 3. Remember RG 3. He had an explosive first season at that. Hey, he got injured. He beat that. So let's not get carried away either. But all in.

Allin (1:07:00)
That's at Baltimore.

Baltimore came back to beat Sensi last week, right? And overtime.

Matty B (1:07:09)
Sancy. Sancy.

Raider Wil (1:07:13)
I don't know, I was up against.

Allin (1:07:13)
Since he lost that game.

Matty B (1:07:16)
since he's not that good this year either.

Allin (1:07:19)
that's what I'm saying, and they barely beat him.

Matty B (1:07:22)
Bye.

Allin (1:07:24)
Man, I think that Washington defense is a little bit better than Baltimore. I'll go Washington as well.

Matty B (1:07:29)
Yeah, good pick, Holland.

Raider Wil (1:07:31)
dang.

Allin (1:07:32)
That Dan Quin's been really good for that defense. And they were good last year, but they're really good right now.

Raider Wil (1:07:35)
So absolutely.

Matty B (1:07:35)
Yeah.

Val (1:07:42)
Chargers and the Broncos at Denver.

Matty B (1:07:48)
And now you know what give me the Broncos in that game cuz I think Herbert's all fucked up

Val (1:07:57)
I'm going to Denver too.

Allin (1:07:57)
Yeah, they had a buy last week, right?

Matty B (1:08:01)
The chargers?

Allin (1:08:02)
Yeah, I believe they did.

Val (1:08:06)
All right, so Alan, who are you picking?

Allin (1:08:10)
Yeah, I think Denver's defense is better. They're going to fucking get to Herbert.

Raider Wil (1:08:14)
I'm in that boat, I'm in the same boat. Put me down for Denver.

Val (1:08:15)
Okay?

All right, we've got Pittsburgh and Las Vegas.

I think we're gonna win this one. I think it's gonna be hard.

Allin (1:08:31)
Who's over there sighing hard?

Matty B (1:08:34)
It ain't

Raider Wil (1:08:34)
ME!

Val (1:08:36)
Both of you, go down.

Allin (1:08:37)
Hey, we ain't got to ask. We're all going to pick and win or lose. No matter what we think.

Matty B (1:08:46)
says.

Raider Wil (1:08:48)
Bro, no, I'm gonna tell you something that I never thought would come out of SSJ's mouth. He predicted the loss to Denver. He said, yo, I just don't feel like we're gonna win the game. I have feeling.

Val (1:08:55)
I saw.

He said, I'm not feeling it today. I don't feel that vibe.

Raider Wil (1:09:06)
And I said, whoa, because yeah, yeah, so.

Val (1:09:07)
I know you looked at it online in the interview.

Matty B (1:09:14)
How was that when you guys were talking that man? Because I was like, yeah, that's right when I was pulling up I was I was still driving in the different. Yeah, OK, I was thinking that was at the game. was like, where the fuck was I when that happened? Not out at the party, yeah.

Raider Wil (1:09:19)
Yeah. Yeah, yeah.

Yeah, but so I'm telling you right now.

Bro, I'm scared. I'm fucking scared. Like, we have a big time problem with scrambling quarterbacks. And Justin Fields can run. And his ability to extend the play scares me, That's the one thing I feel like the Raiders defense struggles with.

I don't know if we have the solution. Fuck! Yeah.

Matty B (1:10:02)
Hey Will, Will, Will, hey, hey, hey, Will, can I say something real quick? Hey, what does iCube say? If you're scared, to church.

Allin (1:10:02)
You know how to beat him?

Raider Wil (1:10:11)
HAHAHAHA

Val (1:10:11)
Mm-hmm.

Allin (1:10:13)
Hey, you know how to beat those guys. Just play man. Their receivers for some reason can't play against man.

Matty B (1:10:19)
Nah, picking sucks dude. That's the only guy they got, dude.

Raider Wil (1:10:22)
I'd be like, yo, all right, I'm gonna go Raiders. I'm gonna go Raiders. Let's go.

Matty B (1:10:26)
Yeah, I'm gonna say you can steal it, bro. You bet. We'll just change the podcast next week, okay?

Allin (1:10:30)
Well, I'm with you. I'm not as nervous though on the quarterback side, right? Cuz we contained Lamar pretty well. I'm more worried about what TJ Watt's gonna do to fucking AOC all game.

Val (1:10:48)
I'll be fine.

Raider Wil (1:10:48)
Yeah.

Allin (1:10:49)
You take enough sacks, that's fucking... that's worse than turnover sometimes.

Raider Wil (1:10:54)
No, no, no, no, I would have taken a sack over that pick six Every day of the week

Allin (1:11:00)
yeah, but I mean dude if you're not even getting the fucking ball off and you're consecutive three and out three and out and you fucking field play the field position. I don't know man. just I'm worried about the I'm worried about the O line against that fucking front.

Raider Wil (1:11:16)
Yeah.

Val (1:11:18)
Alright, Detroit at Dallas.

Raider Wil (1:11:19)
So.

Matty B (1:11:23)
Give me the big D Detroit

Raider Wil (1:11:24)
Detroit!

Val (1:11:28)
Who said that?

Allin (1:11:31)
Matt said give him some D, I don't really know what he's talking about but...

Matty B (1:11:33)
No, no, no, no, I'm sorry. I didn't mean to say it like that. Fuck that, scratch that. Don't put that on the fucking podcast,

Val (1:11:34)
once. Maddie B. Maddie B wants the D.

Raider Wil (1:11:38)
It was the big D, actually.

Allin (1:11:43)
He, that's what he said.

Matty B (1:11:46)
What a fuck, Fuck you, man. That's fucked up. I know I said it. know I said it. Scratch it. huh. Yeah. I can see the non-judgment going on right now.

Val (1:11:46)
Maddie B wants the big D.

Allin (1:11:50)
Hey, you said it bro. This is a judgment free zone brother, it's okay.

Raider Wil (1:11:51)
Detroit?

Val (1:11:57)
We accept you as you are.

Allin (1:12:00)
Hey, you can open that door now.

Raider Wil (1:12:04)
my god.

Val (1:12:04)
Maddie, we're still gonna love you no matter what.

Matty B (1:12:08)
That's not Maddie. No. I don't even like this game. Fuck this game.

Raider Wil (1:12:08)
Jeez. Wow, now it's more caressed.

Val (1:12:14)
So listen, so for Maddie B, I'm gonna write down big D.

Allin (1:12:15)
Matt's like, I'm gonna take an L, fuck it.

Matty B (1:12:23)
Detroit.

Detroit

Allin (1:12:31)
I think we could all agree Dallas like stole a win. They didn't deserve to win that game in Pittsburgh.

Val (1:12:31)
Big.

Raider Wil (1:12:33)
It's terrible. I'm with Detroit. Nope, I'm Detroit. I got Detroit in this game.

Val (1:12:42)
Alan.

Allin (1:12:44)
That's in Detroit.

Val (1:12:45)
I didn't hear you. My bad.

Raider Wil (1:12:47)
Yeah. Yeah, that was just terrible.

Allin (1:12:47)
I can't pick Dallas.

Matty B (1:12:47)
and

Val (1:12:50)
All right, Atlanta, Carolina.

Raider Wil (1:12:53)
Atlanta.

Allin (1:12:55)
Yeah.

Matty B (1:12:56)
That's division game though. Atlanta. Atlanta. Atlanta.

Val (1:12:59)
Who said yeah?

Allin (1:13:00)
Me.

Raider Wil (1:13:04)
Got ran on.

Val (1:13:05)
All right, everybody's Atlanta, got it.

Matty B (1:13:08)
Atlanta.

Allin (1:13:10)
Why couldn't we get the Andy Dalton of last weekend against us?

Raider Wil (1:13:17)
bad. You already know that if a team changes the quarterback against us, we're going to lose the game.

Matty B (1:13:18)
because it came out.

Allin (1:13:23)
That's why I'm worried about them throwing Russell Wilson in. Because there's been talks of benching fields.

Val (1:13:27)
You know he's still-

Matty B (1:13:28)
rather than throw Russell Wilson in. I think we'd get our asses kicked by Justin Fields.

Raider Wil (1:13:32)
Yep.

Val (1:13:33)
You know, he's still saying, let's ride.

Raider Wil (1:13:36)
gosh, let's not even, who cares? Who cares? That guy's terrible.

Allin (1:13:36)
No he's not.

Val (1:13:37)
Yes he is. Yes he is because he said it on the TV.

Allin (1:13:42)
No, they said he had a new slogan for the Steelers.

Raider Wil (1:13:45)
That's that guy.

Val (1:13:45)
What is it?

Matty B (1:13:46)
Let it slide.

Allin (1:13:46)
I didn't care enough.

Raider Wil (1:13:48)
That is right.

Matty B (1:13:49)
hahahahah

Allin (1:13:53)
No, because they said, you know, he had the let's ride in Denver and he's got a new slogan for the Steelers and I don't remember what it was.

Val (1:13:59)
So, Matty B, his new words are, I'm picking, I want the big D, let it slide. Gotcha.

Raider Wil (1:14:07)
Yeah.

Matty B (1:14:08)
I thought Russell Wilson said, me.

That's not what she just said. She got it written down. She said this is what Dr. Wilson said.

Allin (1:14:13)
Why, hey, he never said anything about the Big D.

Raider Wil (1:14:16)
my God, Next game, next game, next game. What do we got next, pal?

Val (1:14:20)
D-

Allin (1:14:24)
We got the tape.

Val (1:14:24)
Did you? No, I said, Maddie B's new words of choice is he wants the big D. Let it slide. Does your wife know about this?

Matty B (1:14:27)
Mm-hmm.

Nah, that's not what you said.

Raider Wil (1:14:35)
my god, who's she? Yo! Yeah, we're ha-

Matty B (1:14:35)
No, she don't. She's not going to you, so don't say nothing.

Allin (1:14:37)
Will, rewind the tape.

Val (1:14:37)
Do.

Cincinnati at New York Giants.

Allin (1:14:43)
Where's the red flag?

Raider Wil (1:14:45)
We go by God. Let's replay.

Matty B (1:14:45)
Yeah, red flag, red flag. Not even a challenge is a red flag.

Raider Wil (1:14:51)
I'm gonna jump in the pipe.

Val (1:14:52)
Cincinnati and the New York Giants.

Raider Wil (1:14:55)
Sincey.

Matty B (1:14:57)
New York.

Could be a shit game.

Raider Wil (1:15:02)
Yep.

Allin (1:15:05)
I'm gonna go to New York, they've stolen a couple wins.

Matty B (1:15:09)
think they got a better defense.

Allin (1:15:13)
Something's wrong in Cincinnati.

Val (1:15:13)
I'm choosing giants as well.

Allin (1:15:17)
Give me, I'll give you two firsts, Tay, and a second, and give me Joe Burrow.

Matty B (1:15:24)
I'll take you, bro.

Val (1:15:26)
Buffalo?

Raider Wil (1:15:28)
Yeah, I'll take that tray. I'll take that tray too.

Matty B (1:15:31)
I didn't give you fucking atoms on top of that. I didn't hear, I'm sorry, I didn't hear that part.

Allin (1:15:33)
That's what I said.

Raider Wil (1:15:33)
Yeah, that's what he said. It was part of the package deal. I take it. Yeah, he said two ones, Adams and a, and what? And a second.

Allin (1:15:41)
A second.

Matty B (1:15:42)
exactly, okay.

Val (1:15:47)
Buffalo and New York Jets.

Allin (1:15:48)
Adams can throw it and catch it.

Raider Wil (1:15:51)
Buffel up.

Buffalo

Matty B (1:15:54)
That way you can't be mad at the quarterback that's thrown to him.

Raider Wil (1:15:59)
Buffalo or Jets?

Matty B (1:15:59)
something.

Ugh, give me Buffalo.

Allin (1:16:08)
Yeah, firing the head coach ain't gonna fix their problems, Buffalo.

Matty B (1:16:12)
It did for us last year.

Raider Wil (1:16:15)
Yeah, not for the Jets. That's another deeper root.

Allin (1:16:17)
Yeah.

Matty B (1:16:20)
Aaron Rodgers is the new head coach.

Val (1:16:20)
I choose the jets. I am choosing the jets, so.

Raider Wil (1:16:26)
Alright guys, that's what we got for our weeks weekly pick them challenge now Let's move on to the next part of our show, which is Val. What do you got for us for Val's corner? My yo, look at that. That's exactly what we thought we needed to get for SSJ the F your team Raiders Freaking I don't know what that thing is right now

Val (1:16:51)
It's a towel, it's a towel. So Joe actually had one too, but when he was getting escorted out of the stadium, they took it off of him. So Cowboys Stadium, y'all suck. All of you guys can suck a big fat egg for taking what's not yours and being butthurt because y'all are unloyal fuckers. So suck a big.

Allin (1:16:56)

Val (1:17:20)
They took the towel. It was on his shoulder and they took it from him, the security did. So all of y'all can go suck your mama's toes.

Matty B (1:17:27)
I I could do that shit. I thought they had to just kick you out. I don't know to take your shit like that.

Raider Wil (1:17:31)
Right.

Allin (1:17:31)
No, I think if you have like derogatory shit they can take it. Like Joe said, they were trying not to let him in with his jersey in Denver.

Raider Wil (1:17:35)
Yeah.

Yeah.

Matty B (1:17:40)
Really? Fuck, everybody in Denver was like, I love that jersey.

Allin (1:17:41)
Yeah.

Yeah, man, you know how they are. You know, it's the NFL. They don't want that derogatory shit to be caught on camera by chance.

Matty B (1:17:47)

Val (1:18:04)
So on my way.

Allin (1:18:07)
So she got put on the Jumbotron and she whipped her titties out?

Dude, why hasn't that made the news like the fucking hockey chick in the playoffs in Canada?

Matty B (1:18:20)
She wasn't a supermodel She would get the regular blonde with fake tits and she didn't say hock to after I Know that's what I'm She would have said like something slogan afterwards, you know after she flashed the crowd they probably would have got like a million dollars and a lot of
