00:00I thought it was impressive, man.
00:01Jared Goff seems to just keep turning
00:04negatives into positives, you know?
00:06Oh, he's not good against pressure.
00:08Well, this year he's been
00:09one of the best quarterbacks against pressure.
00:10You know, he can't move.
00:11Okay, man, look at him.
00:12He's scrambling a little bit.
00:13He's moving in the pocket.
00:14Okay, it went outside, you know?
00:16Goes out yesterday.
00:16And I know he wasn't the sole reason that they won,
00:19but his efficiency and ball security was a huge reason.
00:23Well, it's his decision making in regards to,
00:26I mean, every quarterback would love
00:27to throw the ball deep every time.
00:29His decision making and patience of taking what is there,
00:33it's led to, you know, 30 completions in a row
00:37to Amon Ross St. Brown.
00:38It's led to where the Lions are right now at 7-1
00:42because at the beginning of the year,
00:43what we heard from Dan Campbell,
00:45Jared Goff was trying to do too much.
00:47And I think maybe he was trying to prove
00:49that he was worth the new contract.
00:51That's probably all a part of it, not the only reason.
00:53Human nature, sure.
00:54Yeah, then all of a sudden, week three,
00:57he settles down, finds himself a nice groove.
01:00And since then, he has been the most consistent quarterback
01:04in the NFL.
01:06And yesterday, you were pretty much playing
01:09without your entire 2022 draft class,
01:11besides Kirby Joseph, you know?
01:14Hutch was out, Jamison Williams, Pascal, Malcolm was out.
01:17You know, I mean, you're doing it missing some key stats.
01:21Branch goes out, like we said earlier in that game,
01:22which I thought it was absurd.
01:25Okay, we got calls too on it, but you go ahead.
01:27It was a penalty, no doubt,
01:29and a fine at some point this week.
01:32I thought it was absurd.
01:33And people, listening and driving into you guys,
01:36oh, it's definition targeting.
01:38Targeting is a college rule.
01:39Targeting does not exist in the NFL.
01:43Head-to-head contact does.
01:45It's not college where, oh, you hit him in the head,
01:48throw him out, get rid of that thinking.
01:50That's not how it works.
01:51I thought it was absurd that they threw him out of the game.
01:54You're going down a really slippery slope.
01:56If you're gonna start to turn contact penalties
01:58into ejections, right?
02:00Unnecessary roughness or a face mask penalty,
02:04if it's egregious, I'll throw him out of the game.
02:06You're going down a really slippery slope doing that.
02:09I think a part of it too was the NFL has this list of guys
02:13that are so-called repeat offenders that guys look at.
02:17Brian Branch I don't think has that label,
02:19but he did get a personal foul
02:21and a fine against Arizona earlier this season,
02:24which was also absurd because Trey McBride
02:26was the one who lowered his helmet into Brian Branch.
02:29But I think Brian Branch is on that list of guys
02:31that like a Jamal Adams, the guy who's always,
02:34you know, kind of getting suspended for head hunting people.
02:37Those guys are, they're labeled on a list as,
02:39oh, we gotta watch out for this.
02:41I think yesterday was clearly the NFL
02:43trying to send a message, but you can't convince me
02:45that if that was a one o'clock game
02:47that he would have been ejected.
02:48That was a national televised game.
02:50I think that they were trying to prove a point.
02:52I thought it was a penalty, no doubt.
02:55Did I think it was the most egregious penalty
02:57I've ever seen, and did I think he launched
02:59into his head on purpose?
03:00No, I don't.
03:01I don't think that he saw Bo Milton drop the ball.
03:05I think at that point you're seeing an open receiver.
03:07You're going to run, you're looking at your target, right?
03:09You're making contact with the player.
03:10And you want to jar the ball loose.
03:11Yeah, and the caller earlier said a couple seconds after.
03:14That was a bang, bang play.
03:15Split second.
03:16That wasn't a couple seconds.
03:17I think when you slow stuff down on a replay
03:18it feels like seconds, but no, it's not.
03:20I thought it was absurd, and I think
03:21it's a very dangerous spot to start
03:23ejecting players for contact fouls.
03:26But it's a huge game.
03:27During the hits or hits, and if it's a legal hit
03:30you throw the penalty flag and you pay for it
03:32during the week.
03:33You don't kick people out of games for that.
03:35Not in the NFL, you don't.
03:36Because it's prime time, and Campbell mentioned
03:38because it's prime time.
03:39I would think the opposite should be the case.
03:41It's a big game.
03:42We shouldn't be setting new precedents
03:45during the big game.
03:45If that's not how it's officiated,
03:47it can't change during the biggest games.
03:50I agree with you.
03:50Throw a flag.
03:51We can all agree that it was a penalty.
03:54His target was a little bit high.
03:56But it's a penalty, and it's a fine during the week.
03:58And you work to clean it up, right?
04:01So I thought it was absolutely absurd
04:02that they threw him out of the game for that.
04:05We'll take a couple calls on it right now,
04:06and then we'll keep talking about the game itself.
04:08Because the beauty of it is, it didn't cost them.
04:10My entire life, those moments sink a game.
04:15Lions lose their difference maker at safety,
04:18and then they go in the tank and they lose,
04:20and we're bitching about it on the radio the next day.
04:22It's a blip.
04:23It's something that people are upset about.
