00:00got text coming in we want to talk about the game itself too by the way
00:04is this a make or break lions and patriots in munich yeah because their next two games i think
00:10are going to be tough i mean people say what do you mean tampa bay is going to be tough
00:12at home
00:13they play their defense i don't care what their rank and stuff like that they run the ball there
00:18that's going to be not an easy game uh at ford field next sunday it's a classic sandwich spot
00:23too right you're coming back from travel you got the bears on a short week look i understand the
00:28lions i think had a choice where the these teams get choice if they want to buy after the europe
00:32trip and the lions opted not to do that but i'm sorry i think the league really screws the lions
00:37that they the three day three games in 11 days was one thing but three games in 11 days and
00:44a europe
00:45trip in in that set i think that's unfair personally but i think it puts a bit of disadvantage yes
00:51which
00:52and by the way in this division you just have to keep winning as ridiculous as it is you just
00:57have
00:57to keep winning the bears already beat the patriots you got to beat the patriots and then you probably
01:02have to beat the bucks and then you definitely have to beat the bears and it's you start to see
01:05why dan campbell was the way he was with us this week because correct you are just laser focused
01:11there is no room for error there's no margin in this division none two four eight five three nine
01:1797 97 we got text coming in someone says what the f does fomo mean fear of missing out yes
01:24and
01:25another says can you just say fear of missing out fomo sounds ridiculous i think they have fomo in
01:30the acronym fomo come on man yolo
01:38uh texas no fomo the fear of missing out on bank account funds it's not attainable for the average
01:43fan that's okay i'm not mad at anyone i hope they have a blast tom and flat rock yeah exactly
01:49because if you're but if you're gonna go to europe they say like you're gonna go for an extended stay
01:53it makes a flight worth it right it's just one activity so instead of seeing like your eighth
01:59museum you get you only get to see you only go to see seven in a football game right i
02:04guess it
02:04just doesn't appeal to me to see a football game in europe but i think the experience is going to
02:09be i mean the game itself is the game it's going to be the same but i think the experience
02:12you have
02:13will be unique and one that you'll probably never do again the worst thing is definitely unique the
02:18worst thing is if they lose because they go over there and they lose because i i'm you know when
02:22you go on road games road trips to see your team and they lose normally stateside the drive back or
02:29the flight back no matter where you are it kind of sucks can't imagine going if you can only go
02:34for
02:34like three or four days you go there and the lions do what happened the last time they played in
02:38europe
02:38well i agree with that i think if you're only going for three days i think you have to go
02:43and
02:43make a trip out yes yeah you're not going to be disappointed i mean you'll be disappointed that
02:47if they lose but you'll have other things to make the trip worth it uh is costa even allowed to
02:54travel
02:54to italy not sure what that's all about costa you're not missing anything in venice except for
02:59the smell you'll see enough churches and whatever in the rest of italy you don't need to go to the
03:02middle of a sewer see i've heard the opposite i've heard it's like breathtaking right i heard
03:07somebody told me like of all the cities to miss it's rome you want to see the coliseum and that's
03:13about it yeah and most people fly into rome so once you're there you may as well right you know
03:18explore uh it says for the price i could have so much more food and drink and a new tv
03:24from the
03:24comfort of my own home no fomo but it's the experience like you can't those memories you you
03:30can't can't get those at home heather just explained what happened to us we've been wanting to go to
03:34germany for years this was the excuse uh but then says we didn't end up going and i'm very jealous
03:40lots of fomo jeb in malibu yeah well i guess if you were planning and you wanted to really go
03:46then
03:46you would have fomo but yeah i never had any desire to go or even inkling that i'd be going
03:54i'd like to go you guys are wrong heather spot on perfect chance to go germany and a historic
04:01lions game 27 17 lions that's ken uh venice is a bunch of floating garbage in the water
04:10is it stony this morning or kelly stafford i can't tell with all the bitching about the nfl and
04:14bye weeks steven macomb you see what she said right no that they didn't get a true 14 day break
04:20because
04:20they play a wednesday game out of their bye week oh i just that's i just think three in 11
04:27days is fine
04:28because that's what they always do yeah you shouldn't have to go to europe and that's all
04:31i'm not really whining and bitching about it well one of the other unfair things is the bucks are on
04:36a buy right now so you get the bucks off a buy yeah that shouldn't have happened one team's going
04:42to
04:42europe and the other team's sitting at home well that's the steelers bangles this week sunday night
04:46yeah same thing or sad at home the bangles had to go to madrid it's a good test case yeah
04:51so if the
04:51bangles win we'll be just fine well and if the bangles lose we're in trouble lions could have complained
04:56they they know what's going to happen you know yeah whatever how do you think the game goes we
05:03all took them to win i think it's going to be a a close game and i think obviously the
05:08key to the
05:08game is is drake may in my opinion i mean not just passing because he can if he's not passing
05:14well he
05:15still can run a lot and if they can contain him keep them in the pocket they'll be okay uh
05:21whether aj
05:21brown plays or not the tight end what hunter henry is that his name yeah he's dealing with an injury
05:26yeah
05:26so if he plays look vrabel's a terrific coach and they went to the super bowl last year but the
05:33lions look it's it's basically a neutral field the lions are favorite so the lions should win the
05:38game how about this step for you so vrabel's a defensive coach you just said it all the respect
05:43to him what if i told you the lions and the patriots are both giving up 23 points per game
05:47that surprise you that these two teams are giving up the same number of points per game
05:52uh a little bit but when you look they probably have well we play in the toughest division yeah
05:57but they have common opponents too right i mean both of them i mean we would we play miami and
06:03the
06:03jets and buffalo and they have two i assume i haven't looked at all their games well they beat buffalo
06:08yeah yeah but if i told you these two defenses are giving up the same number of points per game
06:12that might surprise people a little surprise yeah so it would tell me not that i think our
06:16defense is anything special but that neither is theirs no but i think our defensive numbers
06:22because of the last three weeks who the quarterbacks that we've played has kind of helped us right
06:26whose defense would you rather have because i love the way alene mcneil's playing i love that we have
06:30aiden hutchinson they don't have those disruptors on the d-line that we know i love i love our up
06:34front
06:35it's the back seven i think but even their back seven christian gonzalez he had a horrible game last
06:40week so that's the other thing to be fearful of that i'm sure he got a little tongue lashing
06:45from from rabel and you know of the fans in boston because he was really bad uh against love and
06:51the
06:51packers so i think but weirdly enough their secondary has been an issue for them and carlton davis isn't
06:57going to play you mentioned christian gonzalez maybe not playing up to his standard jared goff with his
07:03weapons against an average to below average defense versus drake may who's been the roller coaster leads
07:10the league and interceptions against an average slightly below average defense i that's why i
07:14lean the way i do towards alliance i thought i do too yeah they're going to win a game it's
07:18going to
07:18be close uh texas we always complain about the schedule beforehand but if we drop a game no one
07:23will say well it's because we played too many games in a short stretch no i'm just just a little
07:28point
07:29you know but i think this stuff matters no but i i disagree with the texture this stuff all matters
07:34like think about how we talk about matchups and spots and situations you know team coming off a loss
07:39team coming off a win team on a short week team flying overseas all of these things are factors
07:44right well it's the jim leland cliche and it's true it's not who you play it's when you play them
07:48right
07:50you know minnesota's probably thankful they don't play new england until after adding kurt cousins yes
07:57you know it's little things like that look the lions you know when they played the the vikings
08:04they'd rather played them when they did rather than play them this week let's say yeah you wouldn't
08:08want to play the vikings two two times at the back half of the schedule you're happy you got one
08:13game
08:13in while their quarterback plays as atrocious as it is same thing with the packers you only have to
08:19face micah parsons probably once right yeah you avoid him and it might be a meaningless game
08:24final game of the season yeah well you're aware of the the packer bet we have on this show right
08:28no so tom gave us a homework assignment to uh play out the schedule and john and i both have
08:34the packers finishing eight nine and he thinks they're going to have a winning record so we bet
08:38some uh some of the meat sticks on it the meat sticks in the bistro yeah now that was before
08:43last
08:43week where the packers got a win against new england i didn't see that one coming right
08:48hackers are better than people think i mean their defense has played better than we thought i just
08:54thought it was absurd that they they thought they would only win three more games like i'm not
09:00saying they're gonna go maybe even 10 and 7 i just thought 8 was low yeah i agree with you
09:05uh 10 days
09:08in europe i would not want every day packed full of travel and activities um so go into a lions
09:14game
09:14for one day and have a chill afternoon it'd be great says um but that's let's remember that's game is
09:21what 3 30 their time i believe something like that so by the time the game's done it's 7 30
09:27you probably go to a they did dinner later in europe so you do a dinner after you got the
09:32morning
09:33but you probably drink a lot if you're drinking beers you're probably drinking a little less beers
09:37at the game because they're a little more potent i believe over there uh says jim don't knock stadium
09:44spaghetti till you've had it been to a game in cincinnati tt in brooklyn do they do skyline chili i'm
09:49sure
09:50they do skyline chili everywhere in that city yeah that's not spaghetti it's chili i know it's
09:55you know it's it's like anything else it's it's what you grew up with
10:01uh okay and then this one says i'm not even sure what jim is arguing why would you
10:04why wouldn't you go to a game if you were already there it's four hours out of a whole trip
10:08my point
10:08is i would not plan the trip to coincide with the lion's game right i get it if germany was
10:13a place
10:13that held uh significance to me which is why i i use italy right i subbed out for italy right
10:18we are planning a trip italian i've been told sure so i'm trying to to you know right change
10:24that narrative no but there's a lot of things i want to do whether it's the food whether it's
10:28the history whether it's the sightseeing the cultural and culinary experience and we are
10:34booking it with intention we are scheduling out things to do every day and scheduling out tours
10:39and food and you know pasta making class and pizza making we are very intentional and we're not
10:43even going to get to do everything i want to do so the idea that i would say let me
10:46watch a watered
10:47down version of the one pride no i'm just i wouldn't plan the trip around the lions one
10:53what what time of year are you going to we're gonna go may okay there might be a soccer game
10:59going on there you wouldn't be seeing it in its element this is watch the crowds of the european
11:04games and i think lions fans will do better than most yes but it is not the same experience of
11:08going
11:08to an nfl game but but you're going to watch the football game no i'm going to go to germany
11:14or
11:14italy i'm not going for football no i know but if you're going to the game you're going to watch
11:19football that's different sony i'm not mad at the people who say i want to see the lions in germany
11:23and while i'm there i'm going to see some later hosen and drink a beer yes that's a different
11:26discussion yeah okay man you're worked up about this i know so you're going to be uh learn how to
11:34do pizza making yeah we're going to do a pizza class so kelsey homework assignment she's got a video
11:40you tossing them dope sure we put that on twitter yeah i think that'd be a good idea try to
11:46get some
11:46content out of the trip it's just a different approach if you are going because this is your
11:52you would never go to germany otherwise well that's a different discussion correct but i what i
11:56don't get is the people who for example want germany is the lifetime trip right don't don't shave
12:02any of your trip out for this i disagree with you but it's three hours four hours it's not it's
12:08seven hours your your tailgate if you're going to do it do it and you only get so much time
12:13anyway
12:14so yeah we don't get six weeks vacation in the united states you can't go there for two weeks
12:18you're talking about one day so you every well then maybe that's your day you don't go visit you
12:23know where hogan's heroes was right maybe the answer is there's not enough to do in germany maybe
12:28there's just not enough to do in germany that this is something that you can compromise
12:33because it sounds to me like you can just there's not enough to do in germany
12:36do you have some anti-germany thing because you won't even go to frankenmuth
12:40what's bronner's no but i would think germany is a pretty cool place to go i don't even mean to
12:46shade germany i think there's probably too much to do in germany yes he said he's a germ a german
12:51phobe as opposed to a germaphobe we got the cookie jar we'll talk more lions and fomo it's 97 one
12:5811
12:5811
12:5812
12:5814
12:5814
