00:00Alright, so important win for for Washington they get to nine and five
00:04It was kind of ugly down the stretch, but I don't think we should lose fight sight of the fact that
00:10You know fairly dominating for for a lot of it
00:13I wish we would have been able to get more the bird and make this a little easier
00:20But you know, they had the ball for over 40 minutes. They had a 17 nothing lead at one point
00:2623 first downs to their 17. We're 9 of 17 and third down efficiency
00:3474 plays to their 51
00:38326 total yards
00:42189 yards passing when you take into account the the eight sacks and everything
00:47So that was the downside Morrow catches that ball. Is that is that a touchdown or is that a two-point conversion?
00:53Which one on the two-point conversion, yeah rolls out he throws tomorrow and it goes off his hands
00:58But if he catches that was he inbound?
01:01Yeah, I assume yeah, I just figured I just figured that I just couldn't believe that we got lucky
01:06I you know what? I didn't understand is there it was Johnson. I think it was Johnson not Morrow. Oh, it was Johnson
01:12Okay. Um, yeah, you're right. It was so so they ruled it an incomplete pass and
01:16Then they buzz upstairs and say hey, let's take a look at it. They take a look at it
01:22And they said oh, it's our bad. We reverse the call. Then there's a 10-second runoff
01:28I don't understand the 10-second runoff. Is it because he would have been tackled inbounds? You can't really
01:36Say definitively if it's gonna be 10 seconds 20 seconds 5 seconds. It's it's just a rule. That's
01:43Innate. Yeah, it's just a weird rule that they have. I didn't understand the runoff. Mm-hmm
01:49Uh, no, that's that's a great question, I don't know some of these rules I just can't comprehend
01:55But they were very fortunate to to come out of that with a win
01:58They were but there were still some good things
02:00Um, I thought obviously they're getting Terry involved Terry's having a hell of a season by far his best season. Oh, yeah
02:08What how many touchdowns does he have? No, he's got 11 on the year. He's got 68 catches for 11 touchdowns
02:15He's just 31 yards shy of another thousand yard season and you notice in the postgame. He was wearing that Givenchy
02:23Scully I wanted to look that up
02:26About $400 skullcap. Usually I get one at Marshall's for about six bucks
02:31He's wearing I don't even know where I was for hunch. Yeah, I don't even know Givenchy
02:36That's not that's like not even a brand. I'm even familiar with
02:40But
02:41Yeah, he's got a great game
02:43I mean, there's those couple plays down the sideline that were just you know inches away from connecting on
02:49I did think he was interfered on one of them
02:52Again, I said to John Kime earlier. I thought that Jaden made some really tough tight window throws over the middle
02:59You know, they weren't long deep throws or anything
03:01But there were like 10 12 yard passes that had very small window and he just ripped them in there
03:07I thought he would have caught that that ball down the right sideline
03:12That was when he was like on a sprint. Yeah, there was one. He's wide open. There was one where Terry frankly
03:18He hesitated a little bit at the beginning of the route when you watch the replay and then it just kind of affected the timing
03:24Of everything. Mm-hmm. I don't know why
03:27But you know, they'll connect on that. I think more often than not
03:32But Terry is second in the league just behind Jamar chase and receiving touchdowns with 11
03:37So he's having an unbelievably unbelievable season and it is there's no doubt
03:41They're making an effort to get him didn't even notice. So I assume he'll be active for the Eagle game, of course
03:48Marshawn Lattimore got a lot of attention for being out there and they didn't even look to his side
03:54So that was great. If he could just kind of be that shut down corner
03:58That's gonna really help them down the stretch especially look I don't expect him
04:02To not look AJ Brown's way next week, but he could certainly limit their opportunities
04:08And I think Benjamin st. Juice. I haven't seen the snap count on that
04:11But I got a sense that st. Juice wasn't maybe out there as much
04:16Because of the addition of Lattimore, I know he was out there and he had a penalty. I don't know if that was a
04:21defensive hold
04:24Bugaboo is is this penalty? He had another one?
04:27Um, I kind of noticed the fact that they didn't have like a true number two yesterday
04:31I mean they were obviously going to Terry a bunch
04:35But once arts went down with that concussion
04:37But look at all the different guys that got involved in Oz at three catches on four targets. The army three catches on four targets
04:46Jameson with three for three
04:48Earth's two catches big one before he went down with the the head injury
04:53B Rob with three catches look at all the guys Ben said I'm still not done Ben Sinnett had a catch
04:57John Bates had a big catch
04:59McNichols Luke had just the one
05:03So they have guys that contribute but clearly it'd be nice to have their contributors
05:08But do you but I did notice no, I don't know how many of those sacks were on the offensive line versus Jaden
05:16But there was a bunch of times where he just held the ball a little too long
05:19And I assume is because there wasn't anybody open. I mean he was dancing around a lot
05:23He was he was and if he wasn't so fast, he would have been sacked 12 or 13 times
05:27Yeah, he made a couple just incredible, but I don't know
05:29I just kind of noticed the fact that they don't have that true number two. They definitely need a true
05:33Well, I think also they definitely were suffering from not having Tyler be oddish there in the middle
05:39Oh, I'm sure and then you know again got to give your hat hat tip to to chase chase played a heck of a game
05:45For New Orleans had a couple sacks
05:47He was he was definitely making his presence felt. Yep
05:51And I think as you said if you had played like that every week, you'd still be here, right?
05:55He was awesome. He and Cam Jordan both had two sacks
05:58But at the end of the day, even though it was kind of frustrating that they could only kick the two feel bigger dogs now
06:04We are at home. Yeah, I mean, that's why I thought maybe if five to six points
06:10I didn't think they'd be seven point just division division game
06:13It's a huge game for Philly because they are now tied with Detroit at 12 and 2 and of course
06:19they're going for that number one overall seed which gets the buy in the in the playoffs and right now the
06:25Lions still hold the tiebreaker based on conference record, but it's it's a huge game for Philly
06:29Well, I'm a little concerned too about where we are because we're banged up
06:34Cuz Jeremy Chin
06:37Told the staff that he was okay
06:39But they had to come out there and get him because he was knocked out on the play at least for a moment
06:43Mm-hmm, you could see him. He was not he was unconscious there for a second at least when he went to the turf
06:49Earth's I have to watch the replay on that because I didn't see his head hit the ground
06:54Did you see it when you watch I thought when I first watched it?
06:56I thought it was a shoulder but his head the side of his helmet did hit the grass. I did
07:01Yeah, I didn't see it. So and he was clearly banged up. He was banged up. So he you know, great catch
07:05He'll be in the protocol, I mean what a catch that was I would assume the chin will be in the protocol. Yeah
07:12Hopefully he didn't lose anybody else there
07:14I saw a kind tweeting about there is a chance maybe the John can come back by the end of the season John Allen
07:20That'd be great. I've heard that. Yeah, if we if we could add John to the mix, that'd be excellent
07:25But I think maybe at the end of the day this might be the best thing for him because they escape with a dub
07:31They got a lot of things they can work on. They can't you know, there's there's no way they'll be
07:38You know, they can know they're hot-ass. Yeah, you know heading into this game against Eagles. They'll have their full attention
07:44But they've got their deficiencies. They know it the penalties and coach talked about it
07:49After the game, they've got to cut their penalties down now
07:52Some of them were bad calls, but you just can't keep giving New Orleans, you know bad team
07:58John said I think they've had ten nine and eight or something in our last three games in terms of penalties
08:03Yeah, they got to clean that up
08:05The one thing that was really fortunate for nine and five the first time they've been nine and five since is it?
08:131993
08:16Five since
08:181993
08:20Long time since we've had a record like this
08:23I know I felt like we this one will slip it away, but they pulled it out
08:27Now we've got the Eagles coming up. You want to bang out your calls eight hundred six three six one of six seven
08:33How are you feeling? Yep about being nine and five
08:37Hanging into what? What are we up to now week 16 that we're in week 16
