00:00they got a win that they had to have.
00:02Just a quick life update on everybody here.
00:05So Jeff was wasted.
00:05Were you out or just wasted at your house watching the ballgame?
00:08I was at my cousin's house.
00:09All right, shout-out to your cousin.
00:10Hope you had fun.
00:11Tequila?
00:12Everything.
00:13Okay, attaboy.
00:15It might be now.
00:17Stallion, you go out for the game.
00:18What'd you do?
00:19Just watch it with my pops.
00:21Made some shrimp last night.
00:23Yo, you got to stop calling everything meal prep.
00:25Just say I cooked.
00:26Cooking some shrimp.
00:27Yeah, meal prep my ass.
00:28I meal prep some shrimp.
00:29Yesterday, they ate about 20 wings.
00:31Dubby, where were you?
00:33Where'd you take that game in?
00:34I was working.
00:35It was not fun.
00:37He was working, and he was just cursing all day.
00:39He was mad.
00:40How disappointed are you from a Giants perspective?
00:42This might be like great for the soul here.
00:46Yeah, I'm out on Malik Neighbors, and I'm pretty annoyed.
00:48But I'm happy I'm annoyed because it means the Giants are an actual football team again.
00:52If I may, I got a text from some of my Ravens friends this morning.
00:57Shout-out to my boy Steve Simmons.
00:59Love you, Simdog.
01:01And so I'm on a big text thread with a bunch of my college friends, and a lot of them
01:07are Giants fans.
01:08You go to University of Maryland, you're going to deal with a lot of New Yorkers, right?
01:11And then there's some Ravens people, some Skittins people, whatever.
01:13Like, it's a mismatch of lots of things.
01:16And what Simmons said is, this is the Harbaugh experience.
01:19There's going to be games like this.
01:20I thought the way Harbaugh, some of those decisions late in this game where they punted, I was blown away.
01:33I mean, for them to punt, what was it, fourth and two from the Commanders' 46, and they punted under
01:42two minutes?
01:43I mean, I guess they had the lead there, but I mean, that's when Jaden was able to go score.
01:48It was a 12-yard punt.
01:49Yeah, the punt was horrible, but you know, if you think about it, they wanted to pin him back.
01:54That punter was a mistake.
01:55I think they were looking at the fact he just threw two interceptions, and we've been playing him well on
02:02defense.
02:03You didn't expect your punter to shake it like that.
02:05No, I guess not.
02:06I mean, they punted at one point when they were still trailing in the fourth quarter on what could have
02:12been a go situation.
02:13I just, I found Harbaugh's decision-making quite conservative, and maybe that served them well, you know, through 10 weeks.
02:22But I think he gave Washington opportunities late.
02:26I thought, and we have, I personally, left hand up, have hammered Dan Quinn on time management.
02:33The whole world did in the tie.
02:36Like, there have been real situations where I think they mismanaged the clock.
02:40I think the end of the first half got awfully close to mismanaging the clock.
02:44I think the play calling from the one-yard line was pretty damn interesting.
02:48Is Doc on with us today?
02:49Doc did not respond to my tweet last night, Brian.
02:52I'm going to ask him, and he's going to have to respond today.
02:55DOC, if you're listening, when they lined up from the one-yard line in an empty shotgun set,
03:03I would love to have Doc's heart rate in that moment.
03:06Boom, boom, boom.
03:08The play calling from the one-yard line there right before halftime, and the amount,
03:12I get one to eat some clock when they get first a goal from the one,
03:16but to run off 40 seconds there, I was like, this is aggressive.
03:20I get you don't want to let the Giants get the ball back, but you know what they did?
03:24They scored the touchdown.
03:25They avoided any scoring because they were able to get it in.
03:30The clock management at the end of the game,
03:32the way they handled their timeouts around the two-minute warning to maximize the amount of clock
03:38they would get the ball back if they could get the stop, that was really good by Dan Quinn,
03:42and he deserves credit for that because Lord knows we killed him when he does it wrong,
03:47so I'm going to give him credit when he does it correct.
03:50And that gave Washington, that gave Jaden the opportunity at redemption.
03:55I mean, for a quarterback, B, you were a quarterback.
03:58You played with a ton of quarterbacks, some great, some terrible.
04:03What is the internal belief in yourself to throw picks on back-to-back possessions
04:10and then come back under two minutes and win the game?
04:14The whole thing about it is you can't worry about what you just did.
04:17Like I always say, you got to look at the windshield, not the review.
04:21You got to be focused on the things you know you can do.
04:25You know, those two interceptions, the one he threw out through the cheek,
04:30he just put it outside more.
04:32You know, and he knew he put it in a bad place.
04:35But you got another opportunity.
04:38You got to go again.
04:39It's just like fumbling two kickoff returns.
04:42And then on the third, when you go 55, the set of game-winning field goal.
04:47You got to forget about it.
04:48Life in the big city, man.
04:50I was – there were so many, like, stories and people in this game.
04:55I was really, really happy for Alec Reddy to have that kind of performance.
04:59Cosby had a really funny line in the locker room after just talking about, you know,
05:05what it meant for them to come back in this one and to give their season life.
05:10And, dude, credit to Doug Kammerer as well.
05:13He wasn't on the field.
05:14But when he joined us – was that Wednesday or yesterday?
05:17I don't even know what day it is.
05:19He nailed that broadcast – the forecast.
05:22Yeah.
05:22He said the weather's going to be awful, but it'll calm down at kickoff,
05:26and then they'll be able to play a regular game.
05:28By and large, that's what it was.
05:30There was a little bit of wind, a little bit of rain still floating.
05:32It came through.
05:33They had the little lightning.
05:34Then they – boom, and it was over.
05:36So when we got evacuated off the field, it was pretty interesting.
05:40Because I was out there.
05:41Players were out there.
05:42There were some – credit to those fans.
05:44They had their field passes.
05:45They were coming down on the field.
05:46You got to be careful with those, you know.
05:47Sure.
05:48With the big ears.
05:49Yeah.
05:50Just catch some wind and fly away.
05:52Next thing you know, I'm in the Hudson River.
05:53Like those discs on your ear.
05:55I had a hat on to cut down the wind.
05:58Believe it.
05:59The hat don't stop those ears.
06:00But B, there was a moment.
06:02So everybody's kind of stuck in the tunnel that leads out of the commander's
06:05locker room down to the field.
06:07And they set up hardly a barricade, but they had, like, the little ropes up
06:11to, like, make clear people weren't allowed out there.
06:14And some of the commander's equipment guys are, like, mulling about.
06:18It – we kind of got word that the special teamers were going to be allowed
06:21to go out first because those guys have to get some kicks up and feel the field
06:26and all that.
06:26Mm-hmm.
06:27And then at one point, Dan Quinn comes out by himself, walks down, and is just
06:33staring out onto the field.
06:35And perhaps in that moment, he's really just checking out the weather and seeing
06:38when he thinks he's going to be able to get his team out there.
06:40But there's a part of me that thinks Quinn had a real understanding of what this game
06:46meant for him, like, for him specifically.
06:49Because I've talked with enough people in the building that understood, hey, man,
06:53depending how this shakes out, they've got a long layoff here.
06:57We'll see what happens.
06:58And for this team to respond in the most Dan Quinn-coached possible way of never making
07:05it easy but then getting the win late when you had to, I just thought was a testament
07:10to whatever his abilities are as a coach, that team will fight.
07:14They're going to go down swinging.
07:15There you go.
07:16And that has value.
07:18All right.
07:19Let's let some folks on the phones weigh in.
07:21Let's start with – start right here in D.C.
07:24Southeast D.C., our guy Zeke.
07:26Zeke, what impressed you most last night?
07:28Oh, man.
07:29Definitely the defensive pressure, man.
07:32I think he's learning now what his defense is about.
07:35You've got to be an attack defense, man.
07:37And we've got to keep the same pressure on against Cincinnati.
07:41You can't let a quarterback, especially a good one, just sit back there and have all
07:44the time in the world.
07:45You know, and for all those naysayers you're talking about, especially the – look at the
07:50show that follow you.
07:51Danny Grant?
07:52It's talking about sell-off, sell the team.
07:54Man, listen.
07:55We've got the next five games, we have four or five teams that don't have a winning
08:01record for the Commanders.
08:02The next five games for the Giants, they've got five, four teams that have winning record.
08:07We've still got a chance.
08:08As long as we've got a chance, man, to fight hard, this team fights hard for Dad.
08:13So I think we've just got to take it a game at a time, but I think we're playing better
08:17and let's just keep the defense attacking.
08:20I think we'll be okay.
08:21Appreciate you, Zeke.
08:22Thanks, man.
08:25It's all perspective, right?
08:26Yeah.
08:27They've won two of their last three.
08:28If they win two of their next three, if you win two of the next three, get you to five,
08:34six, and one.
08:35And that's 12 games.
08:37Let's win the next one.
08:38Sure.
08:39I'm just – people yelled at me a lot last week after the Rams game when I said they
08:46didn't have to have that one.
08:47It'd be nice if they got it, but they didn't have to have it.
08:49The two they had to have were Philly and New York.
08:52You've got to win two of the next three.
08:53And it's pretty easy if you want to identify that Arizona and Tennessee are not the same
08:59caliber of opponent as Cincinnati.
09:01You've just got to win two of the next three.
09:03I think Cincinnati will make them play up.
09:08And I think whether he admitted or not or whether either one of them admitted,
09:15Burrow and Daniels want to be the best that day.
09:21Absolutely.
09:22Those cornerbacks over here know what they're going up against.
09:26They're going to be ready to play.
09:27The last time those two teams played on a Monday night was pretty damn epic.
09:30I'm going to tell you, this secondary here now, now that you got Rasul out there,
09:36Amos and also Amik, they are willing to battle.
09:42They don't care.
09:43So it's going to, we're going to see a different level of intensity in that game.
