00:03man i love beating the packers happy victory monday good morning 97 one jim costa john jansen
00:11heather park gov and greg behind the glass john good morning happy victory monday yes
00:17and it uh it doesn't always have to be pretty you don't always have to like it but you gotta
00:22love a win and that's pretty much how i would describe that game it was not how any of us
00:28thought it would possibly go i thought we all believed it was going to be a high scoring affair
00:32it started out like it was going to be that way the the lions did exactly what we wanted take
00:37that
00:37opening drive down shove it right down their throat score a touchdown and let's start the celebration
00:42but it was hard earned after that lions made it harder than it had to be you talk about botching
00:48the middle eight right fumble going into half fumble coming out of half oh boy
00:56certainly made it harder than it needed to be don't get the fourth down in their own territory
01:00late the game i know we'll explore that more but all those little things green bay starts the day
01:06with a missed chip shot ends the day with a blocked chip shot so many things got away with one
01:14yeah got
01:14away with one and i'm not apologizing for a win i'm not complaining about a win i like being on
01:20this
01:20side of things this is good yes uh it there's no question it's good it feels good to win no
01:25matter
01:25how you do it um and obviously it it was two teams that have flaws we're not talking about like
01:34this
01:34wasn't watching you know let's just put san francisco against kansas city you know and i know san
01:40francisco dropped one yesterday to atlanta so did kansas city and kansas city last night and they only scored
01:44three points so you're starting to look and say okay which teams have flaws well every team
01:50has a flaw in some regard some are greater than others and we were watching two teams
01:56yesterday that i don't know why green bay didn't keep just airing it out drop back pass yeah it felt
02:05like they were just picking apart the lions defense throughout the first i don't know 20 minutes of
02:11the game i loved any time they handed the ball off felt like a win yeah and any of these
02:17like
02:18play action or bootleg or little razzle day take your time and let the lions front and get to you
02:24yeah as opposed to anytime they drop back to pass i was going oh boy
02:29they did do a good job detroit did have taken away the deep shots yeah which i know is an
02:34added area
02:34of emphasis we spent all week talking about the speed on the outside with watson and golden they did
02:37do a good job taking those guys out and i wonder what it would look like with brian branch back
02:43hmm now that was that was in essence a punt yep so they're gonna air it out and see it
02:50hey we get
02:50a big play we get a big play if not we're gonna punt the ball in the next next one
02:54anyway so let's
02:55just see what happens and brian branch comes up with it so we save ourselves spend sending special
03:00teams out there look the significance of it is this you want to stay in the division fight
03:04they're now one and oh and what might be the best division in football you know you only think
03:09three playoff teams are coming out of the north i do don't be the fourth team exactly they came
03:15into the day as the fourth team yes so leave the day as the third the significance it keeps the
03:20train
03:20on the tracks they get minnesota and they get to play for the fight for the division needed to start
03:27somewhere and that's why you said it was it wasn't pretty it wasn't pretty at all but there was a
03:32critical hey one step before the two steps yes um and i i thought that they were going to be
03:40a team
03:40that would score over 30 points they're not it's not going to happen every single game and fortunately
03:45they just were able to score three more than and jake bates is better than any type of kicker they're
03:51putting out there right now how beautiful was that and i don't know what you were thinking on
03:57when it went on the first missed field goal because it is snap hold kick it's good but then
04:03oh there's a flag oh delay a game all right but you're only backing them up five yards and it
04:08was
04:09what 32 to 37 no it's a 26 yard 26 yeah to 31 you're like okay well this is still
04:14should be automatic
04:16for nfl kickers and yet he just six inches wide right and you're like what it felt
04:26like i was watching the lions would normally be in that situation where you're like oh come on like
04:35this is this possibly what we're looking at and it felt like the tables had turned this was the
04:42lions from like 10 years ago yeah to a degree i agree with you when i was thinking at the
04:47time
04:47i go i can't believe they called the delay game because it feels like teams get away with that
04:51right echo of the whistle zero zero and you get a full stop a pause but they called it and
04:58i did
04:58get a little bit of rasheed wallace like ball don't lie like oh you're too scared to go for it
05:03on fourth
05:03and three right good good you don't deserve any points and by the way it was a 26 yarder after
05:09the
05:10penalty the ultimate chip shot that their kicker missed yeah it did i like they went for a fourth
05:18down earlier in the drive but clammed up at fourth and three oh yeah and and they they were good
05:23on
05:23fourth downs two or three yeah um and it was god it was frustrating it it just there were there
05:32were
05:32moments in that game where you're like i cannot believe some of it is is predetermined the angst that
05:40you're feeling because anytime they complete a pass right now you're like oh that's a lion secondary
05:45it other teams are going to complete passes down the field they did a decent job down the field and
05:54they obviously did a decent job on the the two watson and golden like golden only had 39 yards on
06:02six
06:02receptions like he was not getting free down the field and what do we know about him like he's supposed
06:06to be their speedster golden they use the first round pick on him yeah some early texts coming in open
06:12lines 248-539-9797 if these texts are any indication it's going to be a long show
06:20you didn't beat the packers the refs gave it to you
06:25i do not think this is a well-officiated game let me just start there at the same time
06:31shoes on the other foot how many shows have we done where i had to tell lions fans quit your
06:36bitching
06:36make your gimmies hey green bay make your 26 yard field goal make your 30 something chip shot don't
06:43get the kick blocked catch the ball take advantage of the gift when you get the stop in lions territory
06:49with under five minutes to go go win the effing game so i don't have to hear you bitch about
06:54the
06:54officials the next day right how many times have we done shows and even those that have sat in these
07:00chairs before us where we thought oh the officials got something in for the lines like it's rigged like
07:05they don't just don't want the lions to be good you never get the call well now you start to
07:09get
07:09some of the calls and you're supposed to apologize for it and again i want to reiterate not a well
07:13officiated game i thought they benefited from a couple generous roughing the passer calls i think
07:16they missed the whole roughing the passer call and it's been this way for a couple of years is
07:24absolutely absurd and especially i'm glad that that we had a quarterback tom brady was calling the game
07:30that we had a quarterback that was on it and he was the same way that the roughing the quarterback
07:35on golf he was like come on well there are two of them yeah including on the final drive those
07:40are
07:41bad the uh intentional grounding where even after they bring the rules official and he's like i don't
07:45know receivers there i don't know why that was called that also pushed them back and helped lead
07:49to the branch pick um i'm missing at least another one oh there's um uh dorsey got away with a
07:55pi in the
07:55game only for the lions to get the pi call the other way on what would have been golf's first
07:59first interception i'm not saying it was a well officiated game i can call balls and strikes
08:02however i've done this long enough and told lion fans to pipe down long enough that i'm not going
08:08to sit here and say green bay gets a pass that's the thing i want to stress today green bay
08:13didn't
08:13deserve to win this game no for as many ways as the lions tried to screw it up green bay
08:18didn't
08:19deserve this win though they just screwed it up more and i mean you could sit there and say well
08:23green bay lost this game yep versus the lions won it cool i don't care i would take it yep
08:28uh text says lions did everything to try and lose the game yep ticket texters on our side there
08:33yeah but green bay did more cookies john can someone tell me where aiden hutchinson was yesterday
08:39kevin from flank did i'm aiden had a sack yesterday right yes the lions pff gave them 26 pressures for
08:49the game who kevin and kevin and where mars aiden had let me let me just say this slowly who
08:56was the
08:57one that signed that text kevin kevin kevin let me say this slowly for you he had five quarterback
09:02hits he had the one sack he should have an interception yes but it went through his hands
09:11so he gets a pass defended so love had like 200 yards almost in the middle of the second quarter
09:17and then they started getting more pressure on him making him make bad throws off his back
09:22feet the pressures do matter i don't know where this text is coming from there's a specifically i
09:27remember a play they threw out to golden on the near side and the throw was off because love was
09:34pressured no a sack is better he also had a sack yeah i'm sorry he didn't have two is this
09:41texter
09:41upside he didn't have three what's the standard golf has not golf uh hutch has five sacks through six
09:47games god i wish he'd show up more often i didn't say it you looked at me all angry no
09:55i know i just
09:55had to look at somebody uh text saying uh reps were atrocious but i'm okay this time and says jj
10:01mccarthy has to be velenny's new favorite player we'll make time for that the overreaction game just
10:08proves these are the bottom feeders of the division would have horribly played game by both teams
10:14uh nothing is convincing me these lions are anything more than a mediocre football team
10:19with the ability to turn manageable situations into complete stupidity i do think it was a poorly
10:25played game i agree right no one is no one's coming out of this game going either of those teams
10:30are
10:31super bowl contenders the difference in this league is you win when you win games when you play bad
10:36that's that's how you eventually end up in the playoff right that's how you get to 11 or 12 wins
10:42yeah exactly you're gonna have these stinkers man but they especially in division the jameer gibbs
10:47fumble yesterday was so freaking critical brady was talking about doubling up on points there and
10:54they were and just getting three points would have mattered down the road you know you can't do that
11:00you had texted me we were talking about it at the half just how critical that that stretch was uh
11:05that
11:05was also kind of a weird fluky play like cade mays ended up knocking the ball yeah out of gibbs
11:10we'll talk about mays coming up next i would love to get your review on how he looked in his
11:14first
11:15game it's 97-1
