00:00
Let's start Tomlin with talking about the last four weeks.
00:04
Of course, they haven't been good.
00:05
They've lost all four games heading into the playoffs.
00:07
Here's Mike.
00:08
You know, it's important that we take the lessons learned
00:11
from the last month.
00:12
Oh my God.
00:13
Unfortunately, you probably learn more
00:17
when there's failure.
00:18
And obviously we've experienced some of that.
00:21
Some of it not jaw dropping things
00:24
or earth shattering things,
00:26
more confirmation of things that we believe in
00:29
or things that we engineer victory by.
00:32
We suffered the consequences of not winning
00:34
the turnover to battle in recent weeks.
00:37
That's been very evident.
00:39
We've also suffered the consequences of not performing
00:42
to our standards in the red zone,
00:43
offensively and defensively.
00:45
And oftentimes your ability to win possession downs
00:49
within those situations define you, that four point swing.
00:52
Doing that four game stretch,
00:56
we weren't strong enough defensively in that area.
00:58
And we certainly weren't strong enough
01:00
offensively in that area.
01:03
Listen, Mike, I can't take it anymore.
01:07
This guy just blows smoke about,
01:09
he's smarter than everybody in the room
01:11
and he's gonna use big words and all of his rhetoric.
01:14
And the reality is, is that, you know, let's face it.
01:18
He hired Art Smith.
01:20
He hired Matt Canada.
01:22
Both of those guys are literally along with Ken Dorsey,
01:27
the three worst offensive coordinators
01:29
in the history of the national football league.
01:31
Ken Dorsey should no more be allowed to coach football
01:36
than I should be running the NFL.
01:39
Let's stop.
01:40
This guy, Art Smith is a hack.
01:43
The play calling is so boring.
01:46
I said at one point Saturday night,
01:48
I have had more fun at church
01:50
than sitting in this stadium,
01:52
watching this absolute Shaq pie of an offense
01:57
run their gamut of nothingness.
02:00
They run up the middle off tackle on every single play.
02:03
They do nothing else.
02:06
When they throw the ball, you want to keel over.
02:08
How about this?
02:09
It's third and nine.
02:10
They always throw a three yard pass.
02:12
I mean, they are so anemic.
02:14
I'm done with it.
02:15
Don't even start with me.
02:16
I'm done with it.
02:17
I can't even believe you're taking the 10.
02:19
Honestly, I'm done with it.
02:21
I'm going to have a stroke.
02:22
I may get up right now and leave,
02:24
right now on this show.
02:25
I can't take it anymore.
