00:00Hard to hold your food down watching these two games last night.

00:08And I understand Jacob, you know, Monday night football, not always going to be great.

00:11We were very fortunate.

00:12We had some really good games on Sunday and we kind of thought going into Monday night,

00:16these games could be rough, but they ended up being very ugly.

00:20I guess, I guess we could start with the uglier of the two Falcons Raiders, just field goals

00:26and stuff, 15 to nine.

00:30The final in this one, you know, the, the poor Raiders, they're just playing it out

00:34to try and they're not going to say they're tanking, but you know, they're not even playing

00:37Max Crosby.

00:38Like, I mean, they're, they're trying to get number one or number two pick.

00:42What are the Falcons doing, Jacob?

00:43What in the world are the Falcons doing?

00:45It has been, it feels like a month since they've looked good on a football field.

00:50Will this ever change?

00:52I don't know if it'll change at this point this season.

00:55They looked great to start the season.

00:57Their offense really started to come together when Kirk Cousins had that 500 yard game against

01:01the Buccaneers.

01:02They beat Tampa Bay head to head twice, and it looked like they were in control of this

01:07division and they have just completely squandered it.

01:09And I think Monday night was just a microcosm of what their season has been.

01:14All of a sudden, they don't trust Kirk Cousins.

01:16He doesn't look right.

01:17He doesn't look like he's fully confident in his ability to pass the ball.

01:21And you see those stats that he put up last night, that was the entirety of the game.

01:25They threw 17 passes, they scored 15 points, and really a lot of those points came off

01:31of mistakes by the Raiders.

01:32The Raiders had two punts blocked, an extra point blocked, and gave up a safety in the

01:37game.

01:38Without those, the Falcons might have lost that game to the Raiders, who are arguably

01:43the worst team in the NFL right now.

01:44It's between them and the Giants, really.

01:46But I don't know what to make of the Falcons.

01:49They have enough talent that they should be a good team.

01:51They should be fighting for that NFC South title.

01:55But they just aren't performing at all this season.
