00:00Look, I think there's a world where they watch that football game and said we're the best team in the NFC as is

00:06Hutchinson we went into Minnesota won the game. We're the better team. We can beat him again

00:10We can beat anybody in the NFC in a playoff game

00:12We are every bit in the Super Bowl with the roster currently constructed

00:16What I would say is give yourself a better chance to win

00:19Yeah, like don't make it so the offense has to be dominant early in the year. They won a couple games with their defense

00:25I'd love to go in the playoffs knowing they did everything they could to position this team to win a

00:30Super Bowl because if you play my homes

00:32You don't want to say we got to blitz them 60% of the time or we can't win

00:34I'd hate going in with only one way to win that Super Bowl

00:38Yeah, and and you're right, you know, I think it'll alleviate some pressure some from some other areas and let's be honest

00:44I mean Jared Goff isn't gonna go the next

00:4611 games completing 80% of his past

00:49You know

00:53Completion in the first half

00:55I'm not gonna hold him to that standard for the rest of the season and it's he's gonna have a game

00:59Where you know, the other team just has a good plan and you got to figure out you got to go win a dogfight

01:03You know, maybe 20 to 17 type of game, right?

01:06But you're right if you if you if you help that defense out a little bit more you do bring in a little bit of

01:11Help that that will alleviate the pressure to say, okay

01:13We don't need you guys to be perfect to go win these games, right and Jared Goff has been

01:19Phenomenal. I mean he has been so so good

01:22He has been one of the I think the best quarterback in the NFL over the past

01:26Three or four games, right? I don't think that's an overstatement. I don't think that's breaking news

01:30I think most of us feel that way we threw out three letters. I

01:34At this point of the season MVP, I think so too who has the better case nobody

01:39He's on arguably the best team

01:41The only team that you would say is better is Kansas City, but Mahomes isn't playing. They're not winning because he's been Mahomes

01:47They're home defense. I think more seven interceptions more picks than touchdowns. I think yeah, I mean it's throw more picks to nose guards and

01:56Yeah

01:57Phenomenal player right but the way that Jared Goff is playing you I mean I thought about that last night too. I'm like this guy

02:03has legit

02:05MVP candidate type of type of play right because it's ego less selfless football

02:09he doesn't care if he throws the ball two yards behind the line of scrimmage to

02:13Gibbs or Montgomery or if he's going deep to J Mo like he's gonna take

02:19What the defense is giving him and he's but he's also made very accurate throws in tight windows

02:25Where you see J Mo or it's Tim Patrick or it's a Mon Ross a brown

02:30Khalif Raymond when you've got to make a throw that only your guy can get he's been accurate on those as well

02:36Yeah, and he's and he's not trying to the one Tampa get Tampa game

02:40He was trying to force the ball clearly Dom and Ross ain't wrong. Yeah, right

02:44I think that he realized and I think the offensive realized that

02:48Dude, like we have so many other weapons if it turns out to be a game like where Dom and Ross

02:53Maybe gets three catches. So be it. We have we got other guys that can pick up a slack yesterday

02:58Jameson Williams, I mean

03:00The one catch that was kind of the behind deal four yards behind line of scrimmage

03:04Okay, we're gonna have games where maybe the deep shot to him aren't available, you know, we got other guys

03:07We got a target Khalif Raymond

03:09I mean it came up huge on that drive with two

03:11two catches on big third downs and then the you know

03:14The the touchdown on the third down was was massive and I think Jared Goff is starting to play that way where he knows

03:19He doesn't have to force the ball to one guy or two guys

03:21I think he knows that with the weapons with the system that they run with the

03:26Matchups at that that they can get formationally

03:28That he all he's got to do is just get the ball to his playmakers and let them make plays

03:33Let them make plays. Yeah ticket texture says that was the perfect

03:37Type of football game one where you win

03:40But also where it's clear you still need to address the deal and you didn't want to have to have that

03:44Revelation in a loss you wanted to have that revelation in a win. I think that's really well said

03:49TJ we talked about the fake punt and it would have been such a bigger story if they lost the game

03:53It's hardly come up today. Yeah, what did you think of it? I

03:58Thought it was odd

04:01Yeah, if it's fourth and one fourth and two, you know, maybe I think it was a fourth and eight, right

04:08And running a speed option, you know

04:16It felt at the moment desperate like okay, man, we know you know, it is a tough team

04:21We're gonna have to maximize possessions where in reality you didn't I mean, you know, you were better team than Minnesota

04:28I think it was clear after the end of the game, but

04:31Yeah, I didn't

04:34Because I really didn't want to have to ask coach. Yeah

04:36Because to me it showed some doubt like it you do it against, Kansas City

04:40And I've said this all day today you do it against Kansas City

04:43And I think everybody going to the game thought Kansas City is a better team

04:46you're gonna have to steal a possession or you've got to do something outside the box and

04:52Then this year with this team the roster the way the offense is operating I just felt like it was an unnecessary risk

04:59Yeah, it just to me. It was a bad decision. I'm not gonna call it reckless

05:03I just thought it was a bad decision. I did too. Yeah, I

05:06Didn't like it. I

05:09Don't think you think that that type of game they may have to steal a possession

05:12No, no defenses under man

05:14My early at that position and the play itself like you guys tell me you guys have been in install meetings

05:19Like typically a fake putt you're looking for a matchup a key something pre snap. Yeah

05:24Yeah, what was the look that gave them the green light to do? Yeah, that's that's interesting

05:28I wonder if coach will you know?

05:30Maybe talk about that this week because you're right it seemed like as soon as the ball was snapped

05:34They they were all over so to knew exactly

05:36It's usually a number count and or it's two guys outside the tackle or it's three guys

05:40And whatever the number count that you feel like you have an advantage. That's when it triggers

05:46Yeah, the the call and it's in the moment

05:49I'm actually curious if that one wasn't called by FIPP

05:53It's they've given the the special teams the the ability to do that

05:57If there was just a they missed a guy in the number count and it was just a bad call on the field

06:01Yeah, and coach isn't gonna throw any of the guys under the bus

06:04We know that but um, I wouldn't be shocked if that was one where you say, okay

06:09With probably a look we should have killed it

06:12You know what?

06:13My guys under the bus, but probably not the look we wanted to run that one into and yeah

06:17He's probably bummed too that he had to waste one

06:20That now everybody's seeing that ended up not working

06:23But you know good thing they good thing they were able to overcome that because you're right

06:27I think that would have been a big big question mark if that game goes the other way

06:30Well, you mentioned it right away. You're downtown. Nothing. You're on the road. You're missing Aiden. Everybody's going

06:35Oh, no, this could really snowball but this team a testament they rallied they overcame it. They were resilient

06:41You said rebound I think was your word

06:42They rebounded even late in the game David Montgomery who is as dependable a rock as this offense has he fumbles the football

06:49They give up a touchdown

06:50They're losing on the road and their rock is the guy that gives the ball up and it didn't break him

06:56Yep, did you really I mean to your point all three phases from that moment on bucked up stepped up and the Lions beat the

07:02Best team in the NFC. Yeah in the highest pressure pressure situations offense. We need a two-minute drill defense defense

07:09They get a first down man, we're not getting this ball back to our offense and for all three phases to come through in

07:16Literally the highest pressure situation you got to go make plays their key key guys all found ways to make plays
