00:00If somebody could tell me what, so a tour of Tiger Valor and Penix is over there relaxing,
00:05it can be somber, but I wouldn't be able to smile and grin if I see my team out there
00:10working that hard.
00:11Why would they not have a headset on?
00:13They have an earpiece in their ear where they're getting the play call.
00:18Okay, I apologize.
00:19Okay.
00:19I'll say once they go Falcons, I got their back, and I know they're going to be all right.
00:23Thank you, Tony.
00:24Thank you, Tony.
00:25Yeah, they did have their little, they got their ear in there.
00:27Now, the still shot of the two of them that's circulating, they don't have them in because
00:32the Falcons don't have the football, the defenses, and they're not going to get it.
00:36Is that where we are right now?
00:38No, not we.
00:39That's where some people are right now?
00:41Yeah.
00:41I mean, the depths of Falcons fandom, yeah, that's where it is, which, you know, you kind
00:48of get it.
00:49I said earlier, I got it.
00:51I get it.
00:52All right.
00:52It's Monday, and I'm in a good freaking Monday mood, too, bro.
00:55This is a really fun weekend.
00:56How much of, like, I don't know, nothing, nope.
01:00Not even going to answer, Abe, because I know where you're about to go.
01:02I just want to.
01:02No, you don't.
01:03Yeah, I do.
01:04I just, all right, come on.
01:05The sour reaction, like, it would be easier to take if it were 34-10, right?
01:10What?
01:11The game.
01:12What are you talking about?
01:13I think there's so much frustration that it was winnable.
01:16Oh.
01:16And Cooper Rush was so bad.
01:18Well, I mean, look, I mean, I think that there's layers upon layers upon layers of
01:23what's frustrating, and I think...
01:25If you're telling me about earpieces and smiles, that's...
01:29But I think a big part of that, though, is, like, you can't really get mad at Cooper Rush
01:34because he's Cooper Rush.
01:35Yeah, but...
01:36Like, he wasn't even supposed to play.
01:37But why...
01:40The fact that they lost the game the way they lost, and you're talking about a guy on the
01:45sideline smiling that had no outcome on the game is...
01:50That's troubling to me.
01:51Like, that's all you can think about.
01:53Right.
01:53Not the fact that he stunk, the offensive line got their ass whipped, none of that.
01:57Him on the sideline smiling?
01:59Like, come on, man.
02:00Yeah, no, good.
02:01But that's it.
02:01That's what the Falcons...
02:03That's what they've done.
02:04That's what they've done.
02:05That's what, again...
02:05That's what they've done.
02:06Because it's not just...
02:07None of it exists on its own.
02:09It's not Tua and Penix on the sideline in a still shot in a loss while...
02:14It's, you know, it's the eight years or...
02:16To be honest, it's the 28-3.
02:18It's the...
02:18People have been fans since the 70s.
02:20But that's what I'm saying.
02:21But get mad about the performance on the field.
02:23Of course.
02:23The dudes that ain't...
02:24They are.
02:24The dudes don't...
02:25They're not about...
02:26We're getting the hang-up from two dudes that have no impact on this game winning and losing.
02:31That's right.
02:32The other thing about it that I would say, too, is...
02:35Like, of course, they're hearing the play calls.
02:37This is one still shot from one moment in the game when the Falcons didn't have the football.
02:41I'm sure at other times during the game they were over there talking in a group amongst the quarterbacks.
02:47But the Falcons have a head coach who has the job because he was an offensive coordinator.
02:51They have an offensive coordinator who calls the plays.
02:54And a quarterback coach.
02:55And a quarterback coach who's called plays.
02:56And they've got, like, layers upon layers of guys in the offensive staff that have called plays at an NFL
03:02level before.
03:03And, like we said Friday, when we found out that Cooper Rush was going to be the quarterback.
03:08The Falcons could have had Bill Walsh and Pop Warner and whoever.
03:14Put whoever the hell you want from a play-calling perspective on the sideline.
03:18Cooper Rush played yesterday with a bad back.
03:20It was going to look like that.
03:21And even if he didn't have a bad back, it probably was going to look like that.
03:24I keep saying bad back because I have to imagine bad back had something to do with it.
03:28That couldn't have been a healthy Cooper Rush.
03:30Yeah.
03:31Because otherwise, yeah.
03:32So, yeah.
03:33But, of course.
03:33But at the same time, every single thing that involved with the franchise right now makes people mad because of
03:40all of that.
03:41It's a – no.
03:42The logo sucks.
03:44Got it.
03:45No, no.
03:45I'm 100% with you.
03:46And I'm 100% – and I understand that.
03:48I just don't understand why that's a thought right now.
03:51But here's the funny thing.
03:52Had they – say the pick six doesn't happen and Nick Folk makes three out of four field goals and
03:55we're talking about a win right now.
03:56Yes.
03:57No one's talking about anything.
03:58Yeah, because they probably would have had the same expression.
04:00They would have had the exact same expression.
04:02The same thing would have happened because, well, I guess they were down 20-13, so all that already happened.
04:06But, yeah, I mean, that's –
