Transcript

00:00I actually think that the Green Bay Packer faithful should be pretty happy

00:05because they basically had a Super Bowl parade

00:09because they were so good through two weeks.

00:10Why does it matter that they lost to the Cleveland Browns?

00:13We have ourselves, Don, one of those Otani, Vladdy Jr. elements,

00:17looks like, in the NFC market, too, where Eagles go to 3-0.

00:21They never lose football games.

00:23Packers lose to the Browns.

00:24Packers number to win the NFC gets a little bit shorter.

00:27There's so much to dive into, but it's an upset over a touchdown favorite

00:33in most places for the Green Bay Packers, up 10-0 in a game

00:38with basically under four minutes to go.

00:42They lose 13-10.

00:45What was your biggest takeaway from the Browns' upset?

00:47I can't believe it.

00:49I thought it was one of those games where the Packers' defense would dominate.

00:52And if you would have told me, Kevin, we were breaking down this on the show,

00:54well, how about this?

00:56Cleveland's going to score 13 points.

00:58Boom!

00:58Absolutely nailed it.

01:00Easiest pick we had all day.

01:01What was that score?

01:0127-13?

01:02No!

01:03It was 13-10.

01:04Now, the one thing we did get right, at least I got right yesterday,

01:06was they're going to have a big-time pass rush.

01:09Now, I'm not going to take the guy that's minus 200 to Micah Parsons.

01:11I'm going to go with Sean Gary.

01:12The only problem is, Kevin, it's going to take him to get two sacks,

01:14which is at least what he got yesterday, as opposed to the one sack.

01:17But when I look at the Packers, I know their defense is going to be dominating,

01:20but I just expected them to roll in.

01:22And Cleveland does have a very good defense.

01:24Do just enough to win this football game.

01:25And Kevin, through three quarters, they were doing just enough to win this football game

01:29and cover this football game for the NFL, man.

01:32Squirrely things happen.

01:34Sometimes in the fourth quarter, a sure-fire victory turns into a loss.

01:37You have a chance to kick a field goal to win,

01:38and it turns into a long field goal for Cleveland and a chance to win.

01:42Cleveland's 1-2 on the Cs.

01:43I have no expectations for them, but you're right.

01:46You look at the Packers.

01:46The Packers players were talking about last week.

01:49Hey, you know what?

01:50We might be able to run the table and go undefeated.

01:52Boom.

01:53Cleveland beats you.

01:54How's that feel right now?

01:55Brings him a little bit back down to earth.

01:56I love that defense.

01:57That's not going to change, Kevin.

01:59But I know you look at Jordan Love and say,

02:01I don't care if maybe your tight end was a little banged up.

02:05I don't care that you lost Jaden Grimm.

02:07How am I supposed to go anywhere without Jaden at wide receiver?

02:09You have a plethora of really good players on offense.

02:12And I don't care how good that Cleveland defense is.

02:1510 points is ridiculous for the Packers in that spot.

02:18So, there are two sides to this, but the Packers losing is the story.

02:23Teams lose games, okay?

02:25Everyone is going to lose.

02:26At some point, Buffalo will lose.

02:28At some point, Philadelphia will lose.

02:30At some point, Daniel Jones and the Colts will lose.

02:33But how you lose can tell a story.

02:36And as somebody who Donnie was not going to put the Packers in the playoffs

02:39until the Parsons trade, that shifted it enough I had to put them in.

02:43I think it's on display why.

02:45I don't trust their play calling, and I don't trust their quarterback.

02:49I think they are sometimes –

02:52Josh Jacobs, okay?

02:55I get it, Mr. Touchdown, how the streak snapped.

02:57We're at 3.1 yards per rush.

02:59Hasn't had a game of four yards per rush yet.

03:01That's awful.

03:02He was under two yards a carry against Cleveland.

03:06That's awful.

03:07Jordan Love and his turnovers are backbreakers.

03:10And that's not something that's going to go away.

03:12It is almost, Donnie, it feels a guarantee that the Packers season will end

03:18with Jordan Love throwing a pivotal interception in the game.

03:23I remember it last year vividly.

03:25People are like, don't bring the Eagles into this.

03:27You have to.

03:28They're the two NFC favorites.

03:30The Eagles beat the Packers last year in the wild card round.

03:34Jordan Love threw three interceptions,

03:37and the talk was about how bad the Eagles quarterback was in the game.

03:43What world are we in here?

03:45Again, Jordan Love, Donnie, sitting at a top five MVP.

03:50Where?

03:51Where?

03:52Through what lens are we watching?

03:55I'm sorry.

03:56It is – these are things that I am not going to just push aside

04:01because they are the shiny new toy in the NFC.

04:04And you saw – like, if you can take a look at yesterday, Kevin,

04:08between the Philadelphia Eagles and the Green Bay Packers, right?

04:10Here's the tale of two quarterbacks there.

04:12And some will say, oh, similar in stature, similar in talent levels.

04:15Not the case, though.

04:16Not similar in what's going on in their brain at this point.

04:18You saw the Philadelphia Eagles couldn't run the football.

04:20So, you know what they did?

04:20They goes, you know what?

04:21Good defense.

04:22Let me turn it out.

04:22Hey, Jalen, we know you can do this.

04:24Go ahead and throw a couple of touchdowns in the second half.

04:25Boom, he did that.

04:26Now, why don't we have that same look at Love where we go,

04:29what did you want them to do, Kevin?

04:30They didn't have a running game.

04:32One of their wide receivers was out.

04:34One of their tight ends got banged up in practice this week.

04:37It's almost like we cover for things like that.

04:39And, again, we know Cleveland has a great defense.

04:41But your defense, the Green Bay Packers defense,

04:43was phenomenal in that football game.

04:45That should be a double-digit victory going away

04:48for the Green Bay Packers.

04:49But they had nothing on offense, Kevin.

04:51Absolutely nothing.
