00:00but we begin this show this conversation with bears rams a bang under you said it shout out to
00:07you 20 to 17 final score in overtime where matthew stafford and caleb williams were going back and
00:18forth moving the football but settling a number of times on those possessions the difference in that
00:27overtime game was caleb williams third interception a clear miscommunication between he and dj more
00:37the rams were able joe to move down the field and get into field goal position win no cover for
00:44los angeles as they clinched their spot in the nfc championship game what was your biggest takeaway
00:51from rams bears the rams escaped right i really believe that i mean you know you could take the
00:56good the bad and the ugly what caleb williams that fourth down play where he hits cole comet on the
01:02touchdown was one of the most unbelievable plays i think not just in playoff history but just
01:07the nfl i mean a 40 yard hail mary on basically a fourth and four so you take that that was the
01:13good right the great and then the bad is the interception and i told you in break you put half
01:19of it potentially on dj more maybe not understanding the route not being in the right place and on the
01:25other side it is you know a caleb williams and his i want to say aggressiveness in that type of
01:32situation not recognizing hey we don't need really the touchdown we just need to to move the football
01:38move the chains and put us in a position to potentially win the game with the field goal and
01:43we talked about it the rams have been exposed i mean i don't think they are an elite football team
01:49they have a very good offense they have a young defense that at times has been opportunistic
01:54but also at times has been exposed and i think that showed through and mcveigh made some poor
02:00decisions as well it's just that chicago made a few more in the overtime and that's why
02:06the la rams are moving on to the nfc championship so this is it's big picture relative this game small
02:12picture it's something up your and i alley i think there is right now a market inefficiency
02:17that teams need to realize the old chip kelly style needs to come back every single time a team goes
02:23tempo march right down the field right they march right down the field run get to go just bury just
02:29bury these defenses because every single time the bears have no choice with their backs against the
02:35wall you can pretty much guarantee they're going to get into the opponent's 30 yard line right right
02:38we we've seen that for a lot of these teams that is all that it just seems to always be the case
02:43with this game though joe the the difference in it right with a game like this it's just
02:52sometimes it's just the bounces and i know that you know that sometimes applies more to fumbles but it's
02:59just dj moore and caleb williams who have really been in sync with one another i feel during most of
03:06this postseason we're not in sync in that moment and i don't want to crush caleb for taking a shot
03:13that looked like it was there and i don't want to crush ben johnson for putting the ball in his
03:17quarterback's hands in a way that he should and also i'll say this you know all the go for it go
03:23for it nature that ben johnson went for in this game ultimately it works out i think we can critique
03:29play calls on the third and fourth downs but the decisions to go for it joe in its totality
03:37it really did work out but i think for me at the top end of this conversation is probably what you
03:45started off with with the rams escaping i know people won't like this and i'm look it's early
03:51i'm thinking the rams can get to and actually win the super bowl right now
03:54i we try and sometimes figure like what is the weakness of this team i think they are soft
04:01i do i think they were bothered by the cold they're on the broadcast like ah you know the rams guys they
04:08can't run their routes as well in this weather wasn't a snow the field wasn't covered in snow it's
04:14cold it's like guys couldn't get out of break stafford wasn't as comfortable in the pocket it's
04:19like that that's not so it's cold like it's cold i'm not saying it's not cold right but like i think
04:25there's just you can punch this team in the mouth right and that's what the seahawks did on that
04:31thursday night game and all of a sudden it's like whoa it's standing eight count they you know it just
04:36it happens to teams i think the rams are much better than chicago but they kind of played down to that
04:45level and kept the door open but the thing sometimes when you have a team who is and i think
04:51this is actually the case i think the rams are more talented than both chicago and again with seattle
04:56waiting in the wings you have to kill them when the chance is there yes and i think the bears not
05:03doing that it really reinvigorates the rams who right now for me feel like the super bowl favorites
05:10will be up and leave the in the market for me feel like being in the right place uh
05:31my arms are great
