Patriots Playbook - 11/13/2007

[0:00]" No that's no doubt about it -- dolphins want to -- thought. Mine did anyone Aramis he's patriots playbook. Breaking down last Sunday's game. Our next Sunday's game ready for the great. -- the rest of the 2000 and it goes. And some of the Flintstones -- between. Well let's timing. -- an almighty hook up I hope your -- is going a little bit better than mine canceled for today holy Moly."

[1:01]" You know he's carefully you don't play football league -- everything goes the -- out of hand -- around here I just sat out I got a -- for a minute first of all. So yes we do we give -- on the great we're going to play it patriot's match game 2007 today yes we are. Can't wait. We're going to do this for the top of the next hour break at 3 O'Clock O'Clock eastern a perfectly good have you what Travis Davis. I've -- okay. Now Nathalie have all of our faculty together here there's one little complaint -- won a little complaint. They are your phone when you're in a car. I think that the accident that I just went through. It downtown Providence was on a -- on -- what happened in front of me. And somebody got rear ended it'd lead into it. Huge major car pileup that was one thing and then you -- your mom already 1015 minutes late in and by the way it's taken me. An hour and ten minutes officially begin here from what normally takes me about 25 minutes 30 minutes tops that you know on him. -- on top of that you're here to the security gate here at Gillette and it pulls up cut me off gets in front of me. Yeah gets in front of me they're going to have to sit behind him for almost ten minutes security yes."

[2:31]" Now I'm done. I had to get that off my chest and budget has got to do. And -- you just gotta do it now it's all out and it's all over now we can kind of move on anyway my apologies Peruvian couple minute short that. And a couple of minutes party -- I'm glad that your witness I hope your read for football but is an -- I have to admit. I tried on purpose did to take a little bit of time away from football. Hard is it may be to believe tried take a little bit I'm away you know when -- your off week. In him I don't know how you look at it we -- really get into this much last week but when when the off week -- you come. -- what you have to look forward to in terms of Jerome teams' games we did have a game to play so you can kind of look at -- want to you can either use that time too. If things that howls maybe you know spent time -- giving others your family do something charitable I don't know. Or you know you can watch them all the games going honey do look at other teams. -- originally that's probably what I would do we were quite honestly. I just wasn't really I mean how what cowboys giants game it was a national game was the second game of the doubleheader I think on fox on Sunday a lot that one. Or much else really I thought you know that was that was going on I've managed to get other things done any don't its collective team. The team tries to take at least a little time away from the game in order to not only rest but to recharge the batteries. That's what it's about it about recharge the batteries along these. And grueling grinding he's realizes only one game -- per week but the physical and mental toll. Is that that you don't want it it it it can he can where Tonya."

[4:18]" You can wear on the POW guys I mean when they do the show on Wednesday's during the offseason I mean it wears on them. I'm sure you drive them crazy."

[4:28]" Oh heavens no that would never happen right. I'm not realize were all fans which short fanatical but. Practice -- gotta have a little time just to kind of you know recharge in and get on with thanks to try to do that torn it down on. Very disappointed. Very disappointed in the New Orleans and the team I had in my pool this week and I got booted. Can't believe they gave up 37 point Lincoln rams the Louis rams. Easily pushing the dolphins worst team in the NFL and they get Stephen Jackson back in the home. They put 37 points on the board shame on eight. Personal shame on the -- for being that bad to begin with the shame on the -- production on. -- that was one lasting impression I think I have this weekend probably is an all day. But I kept thinking -- I don't think it you know while we play like that we -- we have to be this week really got to think it is important. -- you know we take stock of things now the final. I week of the season everybody's going to play every week from here on out now. I'm sure you probably watched or heard of by now with some -- the -- losing as they did in Diego chargers which you know. I watched I think what the first quarter. I watched I watched the first part of the implosion the game and I watched the last quarter of of that game on Sunday in addition of the cowboys giants. And I'm sure that there's a certain amount of unhappiness repeating a patriot nation over the misfortune it -- fell. I'm not all the cold but Adam Vinatieri and particularly as he missed couple field goals the last record was a chippy 129 yards that would give -- a very improbable win. No way that the -- deserved to win that game away. -- but honestly the way they played for three reporters. I don't that the chargers deserve to win that game either. I mean they got a couple returns for touchdowns. You know they intercepted Peyton Manning six times that I mean you know it just goes to show eve of the best going to have days like that old you know -- Knock on water for Mike or whatever it may be back -- can happen to anybody that can happen guy like manic. That was really miserable. Format and yet they still almost won the games that tells me I I personally don't believe the chargers to be a threat to. I really don't I don't think the charger threat I think that game what I on Sunday eliminate them I think from series title contention. I think that if those two teams do we -- in the playoffs somewhere -- I think the -- mop the floor with them. They are offensively challenged at the wide receiver position. Even getting chamber I mean he has -- can open that -- yet at all. And and and -- somehow over the next six weeks seven weeks stated that magically sort of you know reforms it helped. I don't the charges that all being a factor. Personally going to have to win the division. And I don't realize they're five and four right now on the sort of the de facto leader in that division because Kansas City and Denver or horrible. But they're going to end up with you don't know better than that probably three maybe even a four seed. You know as a division champ there and you know they could lose a first round. If the AME playoff shortest start this week. -- of the patriot has a one you would have Pittsburgh as the two based on divisional record day and the colts are both evident to. The based on on a conference record of the the worst would be the two. The colts would be the three the charges will be the four and then you would have Jacksonville and Tennessee -- five and X heavily. And so that means then you would have. Tennessee facing. The call all -- in the cold and then you would have the chargers entertaining Jacksonville. And I don't think the -- beat Jacksonville. I think the -- probably mop the floor with the titans. It's gonna lead all roads lead right back here to to win when it'll probably be the cult even. Even with them playing in -- as poorly as they did they still almost all the game they had no business. Being in on Sunday -- on the charges for not being able to you know. -- on the jugular. So I I think was awesome flaws there about I'm sure you got sort of out of enjoyment of that. So here's what you know we kind of have to approach are going into week number you know game number two and we number 11 in the league this week. I'll with the match -- little -- as you know coach Belichick said yesterday in his press conference this is a different buffalo team. That what the patriots faced first time around and winning 38 to seven -- July. They've won four straight games personable. Granted it's been no great shakes to ever really gone into an offensive explosion. There's still playing somewhat revolving door at quarterback all the J. P. Losman is apparently going to be the starter again for the next Sunday night. They still are pretty solid defensively if improving our offense we don't know what the current data we have Marshawn Lynch who you know has a bum ankle now based on know what happened this past week for the for the bill. And we won't get any kind of a word on that until tomorrow at the earliest and it'll probably be something that ago right the game time but -- less than. You know 100% Marshawn Lynch is going to impact the bills and that may end up being a determining factor. It's possible. But look at the patriots are going to have to work on more than anything else I think it's as it is sustain interest it. Fighting over competent -- but paying interest did. And and focus the tough thing for the team to do is going to be too focused because they're being handed. Pay the division title although they can't. Technically clicked -- this week buffalo would have had a law this last week you over the -- to clinch the division a week 11 we talked about this a little bit last week. In buffalo 1 that it'll take this week in the next week. Before the patriots -- clips of the conclusion we 12 which the pretty dog owner. Based on my loose look at the schedule as now there. So they've got that handed -- they've got at a three game count it now. Over the -- three game lead as for a home field advantage throughout the -- play. They have a chance get a three game lead you know or more over the Steelers they got the dealers now. They've got a two game lead over the Steelers and still a game with the dealers like. Later this season so it's all right there just I think complacency is certainly going to be a factor I'd focus he's going to be a factor in different is going to be a factor. I mean you know the this team is going to learn he's going to have its ability of focus stretched. And tested and challenged."

[11:36]" Probably even if you're gonna have your ability to focus on the next game challenged. I'm going to have my ability to focus on the next game channel we all are going to have our ability to focus on the next game challenged. Because it's all being handed to the patriots in the AF -- it over for the most part I realized that seven weeks left like. There'll won two games that you feel like maybe the patriots might have trouble --"

[12:06]" This by the way coming up on it not being one of them. And even if they lost both of the game that you think that they might have trouble with at worst at -- are. They're tied with with typical and they home the win over the -- got the advantage there. And they might be tied with Pittsburgh -- out of Pittsburgh is one of those games they and a drop. Course then you've got the whole 16 you know regular thing. Still -- maybe that enough to keep these guys focused maybe rewriting the record books. It's enough to keep these guys focused. Maybe a chance to you know not only win a say a fourth superbowl for the franchise but to -- meant. Their place in the annals of NFL history. By joining the 72 dolphins as an unbeaten team and their passing their record. Because of the 16 game regular season as opposed to 14 game season but the play back in 1972 maybe that's enough for these guys they focused frankly. At the beginning of the year. And that we talked about this a little bit. The -- the year I think that this whole you know 90 I don't think was going to be an albatross. Around the patriot collective neck. But -- we -- to have to deal with and it wasn't -- go away and -- in the but it's going to -- to have to deal with it every week and and now I'm thinking you know on the get a little bit differently I'm -- actually now that the whole. Undefeated thing is going to be Xavier. I really do I I think it is going to allow this team the guys down a hallway the coaching staff I you know honestly. I think it is now crossed their minds that they have a chance to do have been special I don't think it in the front of their frontal lobe of -- in the forefront of the minds I don't think it's a big topic of conversation in the locker room. But now that they've got -- breathing room over the nearest competition division conference. What's gonna keep them focused this is going to keep them focused they have a chance to do something. That only one of the team in the 88 year history the National Football League is done. And a chance on the -- no other team has done the advance. Of the 16 game regular season. And that is to go undefeated. Is -- enough. Is enough for you. Isn't enough to keep you -- I'd like your thoughts on that today and the an email web radio patriots dot com. Web radio at patriots dot -- telephone number 585437482. That's an email topic for the day you know it is is the undefeated streak is that the chance to go undefeated on beaten. Is -- enough to keep this team focused is that enough to keep them occupied is enough to keep them on the straight narrow. And keep them out of a lot of common keep -- eye on the prize which is got to be Super -- championship. Probably thinking bigger and better now. Is this enough to keep them focused now that. Other teams are starting to fall by the way in count two balls that load as in the culture. No good anymore and delivered but ultimately did have a miserable game in India was awful terrible and Kimberly bank expects."

[15:33]" You let it throw that --"

[15:36]" It brought it down to mere mortal data. I will certainly give you that. I just I was done by absolutely done. In the second out of program coming up in approximately 30 minute we're going to do on the alluded to and we. He's this a little last week we had some fun with a last week talked about little bit during last week shows. And today 3 left 3 O'Clock eastern time we're going to do as a mention of the top of the program -- on the call -- match game to thousands of Europe and of game -- Then this is definitely for real and even if you're not a fan. A game shows you're going to have some fun this is is this is going to be cool it's going to be pretty."

[16:17]" While some -- today yeah it's going to be fun brush. Now first of all I let me let -- brothers -- and then I am a huge game -- actually it watch game show network on my directv at home from time to time -- like watching the classic shows. I'm a big fan of match game I like walk and watching press your luck. When it comes on you know the original whammy show I will watch -- concentration shows and some of the other stuff that's on there. I his right absolutely big fan of the old price is right. -- always okay. What goes all right. Yes he will he's he is is actually prove that you -- in Egypt Somalia that was -- month. Another show that I real like password Millar asks where would Allen laden. I write games she'll actually generate against major thing. Concentration was a good game -- refute them or heat wave of 40 it 2020 ABC he was a game show hello."

[17:17]" jeopardy is the game and here's another thought we had enough -- I'm thinking I'm thinking now I don't know about banking. You know a weakened retain our focus on patriots playbook yes yes yes oh yes I'm that you maybe we ought to have a version of book. Sports jeopardy some weren't on the line. Maybe maybe I -- come on you had to do real work out of the war I'll probably the question. I used to do this -- want to hosted radio shows all the time you tried that but it him in America -- what's been everything you'd like what I wrote."

[17:58]" The year 20071 question -- okay. So you modernized to little -- big deal shows that old big deal."

[18:12]" you know the people got -- that the gist of it we hope. You know maybe if what if we have some -- with -- will -- he -- with -- seasons how there will that work a thing we have to do what I do it every day -- to do it every week but we can do to give the end here we've -- in sports jeopardy. We have a perfect eight. You know that's why they pay you the big money. That's exactly I think."

[18:37]" Why they pay -- Hideki big big block your regular Tuesday. That's a perfect candidate will play well played version or jeopardy if not match game again during the bye week going into the playoffs how that. This is how we're going to play even the premise of it right now this way you can number one wants it to number that you might want to apply. We gotta do this my own kids are right are starting at 3 O'Clock we'll take a break probably are. Then the phone lines will be will be open for their open right now you're talks patriots wouldn't. But you got to call in and we're gonna ask you some questions you've never seen the match game. You probably going to want to listen. Is he going to get the gist of how we're going to play. If you've ever watched the match game on game show network or maybe you're like me. And he used to fake being sick you know from school back in 1970. Because -- Omega watch gene Rayburn host the match game and then right after that Bob barker in the price is right. How little to -- 90 minutes in the morning when your home with the flow probable made the -- I right spot. You know going to have my chicken soup Monica watched gene -- and I could watch you know Bob barker and can watch the good look at models of the price is right and then of course that of course there was you watch a little -- Oh what the heck is -- money call. Hello -- thank. Any good what it violence and you know -- going to have knowledge of money -- let's make the remember negative all the people would dress up. You know who fully and how are have -- to the audience -- they would've picked -- door number -- door number two or do you want what's behind Kurt Warner what here in this little box and -- blocked it -- think and diamond and -- curtain it would be you know. A part of the horse crap you know competent. Stupid like but it was a great game -- But between match game and price is right and let's make deal Friday morning we don't have your home from school in 19 of which. Anyway if you've ever watching the shows that you probably know where I'm going with hope that your fans. I hope that your effect. And if so what we'll do -- have you call in the top of the hour we're going to play match game we have a series of questions that one askew last a couple of questions. And you have to come out of what you think is the best possible and -- to fill in the black. And like -- door is so dumb and she'd done doors -- down he blank whatever he you know whatever and you fill in the blank we have a guest panel star studded guest panel of celebrities here that will be giving their answers. To that question. And if you matched them with your answer you don't get a chance to hear the first he obviously got to give us your answer first if you match them. You score reports that and then between a couple of callers today. Whoever gets the most correct matches we've got a copy of the -- media guide that autographed copy of the patriots -- Cristina -- was an autograph it absolutely Christina Accra whatever give us if you her autograph. And and for those of you who are not interested increase in -- regard maybe you're the female persuade bullet -- Hideki. You'd -- okay we'll all graph the of the media guide for does that work. -- give you a chance to you know either media guide to be part of men -- and it -- so that's what you're going to play reported. I hope that you like I hope of that will work for you and wee -- fun -- we have -- with a that will bring you back again during the bye week before the play oh. And he rates that's coming up here in approximately 20 minute. In the meantime we want to get an email who got me emails that that I didn't get to over the of course of the last couple of days and from a piece of W progress both forehand from should know repeat here -- of these emails and so our question -- to do with being. You know focused. How do we keep this team focused how do you stay focused as a fan. Is it going to be hard to keep this team focused now that. You know it looks for all practical reasons you know we're all week away from clinching the division believe it or not but that you know that's a -- complete. And were. Pretty much we got home field advantage throughout the if -- it means not only thing you want you think in two games at home. Here at Gillette in January 2 games at home potential 11 -- He semifinal after getting a body during wild card weekend and then if you win that which you should. Then you have the chance. -- up all right. On because that today being Tuesday because we've got commitment to -- college basketball later this week was going to preclude me from getting to the -- Yeah I know -- human deliberately weren't going you're going to -- anyway right. Should mention -- mentioned I'm going to Puerto Rico. One of Puerto Rico for college basketball tournament. -- Rico this week which will keep me. From this particular program tomorrow and Thursday and no I don't speaks I'm very sorry about that so. Because you normally judges on Thursday and because we will be able to talk to him on Thursday yeah. Oh yeah rustle -- Baxter from ESPN in -- the research coordinated joins us here today on the Tuesday program hello --"

[24:26]" So it would not. And now. Into the street though still lives however we have not been able to hear now they did not win and I noticed that -- Chris Berman said Ronald that the obvious that the -- and when we didn't play either. -- go the other way you got to Puerto Rico. You have got others villa -- Riley auto part ESP and you Porta Rico tip off time. -- think you'll -- it is -- stop the Westin Rio -- In is that and one it's an important Porta Rico and where we there yet. You know lot of nice restaurant. Nothing guide service are it will definitely tragic that we're actually in the please call and -- the moderate and hill now that's not yeah he's exactly -- believe you me I'm a little surprised that myself with the lake is a budget cut I literally we held up but."

[25:27]" Yeah now though but at least -- a centrally located in all the economic and so we -- in college basketball worry about the week so in that regard. I may the point you're just a couple of going to go Russell that. Honestly -- the colts lose in the way they did San Diego this week the patriots I think for the most part at all but been handed home field advantage now on the AFC Tom Warner -- really what is going to take to keep the team focused for the next seven weeks."

[25:51]" Well that's easy it's called built tocchet. And that's really where -- team excels the -- dies that that's like that's why there's talk of going undefeated -- nine you know. Instead to wait until what's 12 or 13 and I think it's less I think people sometimes get so focused -- looking at the patriots last seven games in the schedule and so on and by the way you know as I said many times in -- are scheduled to -- means nothing it means something you get three straight road games in the patriot -- is certainly out of three straight home game depending on how I'd have broken up and stuff like that the top. I'd been the stuff on the schedule that means subcommittee but more importantly they have Bill Belichick Bill Belichick is all about focus that's that's why this team that's why this franchise at one time 121 consecutive game. And that's what I also said before is this that this franchise is the one they can lay claim. Having shot it going to 19 you know because they're the only team to ever win 19 consecutive games."

[26:54]" Right on espn.com our pal Antonio today wrote a column that he thinks that the -- 19 you know. That they would be the greatest team of all time in NFL history what do you think about that."

[27:07]" Well I got to see how they go -- 19 you know I mean to be honest with you know we could -- go 18 and one you know the bears were 18 and one -- side the the 49ers were 18 and one in 1984 I think it depends on how what unfolds. That's all I mean at first overnight could have waited 19 you know. So I know we'd like to jump the gun on certain things but. There's jumping the gun on him claiming undefeated and -- shopping done and already. Cleaning routine can be greatest of all time so you know while right. While I'm sure it's a nice article that -- wrote but I would have to see how it unfolds how they are dominant. I want those people and and I could see the article -- of those people was always big. One B not that 72 dolphins but -- ninth 49ers because of how dominant they -- 14 in two team that lost only two games -- he's obviously been outscored instant replay -- opponent by under point very dollars in just that they Denver -- suitable to people who operate and they blew up the vikings that to -- was best for the fight 49ers team so I know we'd like to get ahead ourselves in this business these days but there's there -- There's jumping and then there's the triple jump. So let let's let's hold off a little before we start reclaiming all -- all private 80 years right. Okay it is simple lyrics 42 years. I -- I guess it made for nicer."

[28:39]" yeah. I've kind of glance it would already but I haven't noticed that I'm like while that you know happen out already and realize that. You know you're right -- was the last seven weeks to go here and we still have technically ten more weeks to go we're ten more games to play before you even arrive at that. And so we are going to happen out here."

[28:56]" Organized against you know what when you start talking about greatest. Team of all time or great teams and stuff like -- you know I've always been a person that even knowing they've lost two games. This at least. He's three dolphins work better football team a more mature football team than 72 don't miss them you know descent into a lot of people talk about the -- probably squeak by -- it is and they did but that. That's what it usually takes to go 17 you know you can build 17 you know and heavy point differential 70. And that doesn't necessarily making the great people I've thought all up points and knows well John Dunne -- football team or any other sport. Just personally. It -- yet. Is watching how you dominate teams we're going to -- me when your judgment football players it's not about statistic I'd make my living doing statistics but it's not a statistical game. It's watching it watching it that this is equality it watching it to great. It's watching the speed it's a lot of different things and and that's why what -- what did you watch the great players you can know within a couple of years or two. If they're going to be great players are hoping players stuff like that they just had would you seek Adrian Peterson. And I know the only answer right now what you saw him run away in the first the first eight games in the year. I haven't seen rookies like rookie. Like that it just popped your eyes opened since Eric Dickerson Earl Campbell we're adding that such an immediate impact in this week. And so football to -- VISN and we've only got one half I -- so far with the patriot but I would say that erupted --"

[30:35]" they are and -- and I guess. Like the whole premise of the conversation here is because now the focus is really going to be on the patriots and their ability or inability to get that far because quite frankly last couple weeks the colts have taken a little bit of a step backward."

[30:49]" We know it's also what is what I seen articles like. You know they -- 19 to -- and in declared him the greatest of all time what are you going to write when he goat 19 and a you know. And like well they're dear well I didn't -- a month ago now look at right yeah okay I guess right what what can -- do for an encore. You know we'll do it I doubt it is -- to jump the gun and stuff like that would -- financially."

[31:15]" That the next quite well now will complete in the -- along the going to be that I always got to cut salary cap issues like got their match. Oh my god they need to draft a quarterback know like I can tell you what we've I don't think double edited out."

[31:27]" Well here's the other thing I think a lot of patriots fans start focusing on now because I think they'll feel kind of like you know everybody else like you know -- right they're going to get there our focus on how bad at the 49ers are going to do because they don't ever is goes pick."

[31:41]" Yeah yeah you know that's that it at this shame too because that was a team that looked like it was -- strike last year Germany swept Seattle Seahawks -- the end of the season knocking the Denver Broncos out of left. They had a lot of really. Quality wins last year that the stated later leg against Kansas City and Diego and other games they lost last year but it almost got to kind of sent. That there was an era it was a team that was maybe get great victory take the next step and you know what's really interesting about them go to. Point to another -- injury -- the colts lose against -- Norv Turner you know -- turner is an excellent court he's an excellent. Teacher quarterbacks. And I think conducting a separate system this year is hurt not only that but -- well and yet at the head coach they just got done beating the Indianapolis Colts -- you keep on hearing more. About the San Diego Chargers should be worried about how they feel after -- win Indy Indianapolis Colts should feel after losing that game. -- because the execution right now in terms -- the eagles offense is virtually nonexistent."

[32:54]" And well in the --"

[32:58]" They not only it is strange and that's funny. There's -- with a young quarterback Philip Rivers you know but yet nor the head coach. He's not the coordinator -- the quarterbacks coach in just goes to show you do that. It is just just goes to show you get the job and I'll go back to the patriots. Be that job that Bill Belichick guys in that coaching staff the -- ovaries head everybody knowing the role everybody knowing their job the professionalism of that organization and so one. And getting in getting things done I mean Bill Belichick was a great defensive coordinator. And he might even be a better -- but think about that."

[33:41]" You know while I think everybody all think that you know with -- all the respective norv in his abilities of the -- the charger rather we're still very very lucky to win again."

[33:50]" Well that's and that's my point -- taking heat for them winning that Eaton is an interesting movie because they expect more of him yeah sure. Yeah they're five and 14 who week ago we're giving up 370 yards rushing to the vikings 296 the league record to one individual in this we come back and not for. Kick -- return a punt return. But their offense scored one touchdown against a kind of banged up Indianapolis team who. How we have a game was that Adam Vinatieri missed chip shot and."

[34:23]" Yeah though that's come through that about what dot. That's why -- talked about all that's -- about it unpredictability of all is. Is around it bounces up a lot of different way through great stuff followed a necklace with kicking throwing I think surely affect. On the field -- you know there's three things are going to when he passable to bad at all part of what we're eager to get come on down like half the networks going to be -- this excellent why don't we -- not going to change --"

[34:59]" And that and it's been a completely. On -- would take an early look dated a couple of games this week obviously the patriots have play at buffalo on Sunday night game. First of three straight Sunday night games now that the patriots -- nine games of the -- going to play which you know. It doesn't surprise me at least imminent. You know the league of the networks they want the team that's hot they want the team that's going for you know that the history making season. And I wonder if the glare of the spotlight might not be actually a good thing. For the patriots 'cause maybe go out and focus like that -- wouldn't talk about today is their ability to focus."

[35:31]" You know why I meet focuses a non factor with them to be honest with -- mean that that's what they do debt that's between excel at big focus on other teams don't focus they focus on football when the other team is focused on beating that. -- to me what my favorite quote I ever heard at a Super Bowl was Jim Carter after the Denver Broncos -- my friend Tom Jackson. Didn't beat the Dallas Cowboys in Super Bowl well yeah you know the Broncos. Jim turner speaking of team we were out there thinking about winning and they were out there thinking about football. And that doing -- patriots think about football the other team that the patriots play in most instances. Think about eating and Michael said and done what about it this year."

[36:15]" True do you believe. Well your -- I look at it very emotional -- understand that. -- buffalo having won for the road do you give them any shot in this game."

[36:28]" Yeah I mean I -- every team. I shot at a game it's the way they're going to execute I didn't think it played particularly well last week at Miami and so on but I will say this about the bills. They -- an awful lot of heart you look at the -- season started it -- they lost those heart breakers. They lost their players I mean our defense pretty rattled. You know there one the funny thing hitter wanted it seemed this year. The heavily eagle on the New England Patriots Drew the first time they've played this year you know they had to lean on them now of course that folk art rather very quickly. Eric remember that game -- blossom was in their first marriage. I think I believe that's an official term by the way they manage people were trying to Edward cave men before it was 30 but first some more talented teams in this week John that should play with -- the -- in the heart of the Buffalo Bills and they become a great story you know what three oh winners of five of their last six sporting a winning record and you know all I heard. From a lot of and we have a lot of I don't dislike surprisingly quick if you patriot entity -- shockingly enough you know based on location you know what when the bills lose to Miami this week in the patriots played the division well. Guess what other builders -- five and ordered in that there's a better story right now in the Agassi I haven't seen it I mean there's other teams. Teams are probably playing better their teams -- more formidable ones but I don't think anybody expected Buffalo -- be rolling growing out of four game winning streak now given the way things just started. And the -- some of their players."

[38:07]" No absolutely I agree with by the like I think I am look at the standings again here just kind of slump. All the -- my head and I mention maybe half an hour ago that. You know if the bills had lost last week in the patriots with a win this week could -- in the division. In week 11 I -- well -- have to wait a week left after actually. Couple more weeks they can't do not all of this week they couldn't do -- 12 either just because there's that two weeks Winger."

[38:32]" Right right in the sense that -- by the patriots nine you know they could -- didn't wrap it up this erupted out of their five you know."

[38:40]" Or the patriots are nine you know of the patriots when they're ten and all the bills are five and five and there's six weeks left he would have to go another week."

[38:47]" Yeah exactly acrobatic I just think Dick Jauron that a great job up there and so they had you know they've finished very respectable last year after upstart community were to -- five -- mansion. You know older I don't the you know obviously the guys they lost via free agency. And then there was a -- you know when he got to allow you start this year there's a lot of the get a question Mark alternately playing Trent Edwards for money reasons that winning the reasons and so wanted lot of question Mark of -- Ralph Wilson and finances and it is stability of the organization and so on but global old. They're five or did it but is that they've play put an awful lot of heart -- like is that more talented teams. -- you know like think about some of the team. They beaten in this war game winning streak like the Baltimore ravens like Cincinnati -- who a lot of people have to be either -- corder division winner. In their respective divisions and they're struggling right now. And it's it's not necessarily are struggling because the black -- it's like there's. Things things missing in Cincinnati things missing ambled towards and get their players missing in buffalo and they just keep chugging along."

[39:58]" If they do and and the job they're doing your right is probably one of the great untold stories I'm sure that at some point I'm it will get told this year and if at some point and the -- of the continue to with the -- if they shock the world and and they beat the patriots this Sunday it will then all the attention will be on them."

[40:13]" Russell absolutely but the bottom line is that you know it did during the trojans have won nine games directed division -- 16 -- have five of the so you know it has been a great story and I think they don't have which is that is that every team has achieved the ball well listen we saw -- up there on Monday night right and that's partly to. -- heroics the bills would have beaten -- that's the only game they lost or register yeah."

[40:37]" There really only couple plays away from -- like evident to."

[40:40]" Right -- you know think about that that to -- losses and it you know it goes both ways but to their losses are on. Last play of the game -- Denver. And -- spoiled by one point. Both in buffalo and so on and you think about but won't have to think this -- it's interesting both Beloit out this seems like -- Is starting to make some strikes last week they -- plays when they had to last week against my immediate sense that I think it took advantage of the fact that they were. Very well rested after the -- know going to England. Is unusual circumstances of might be coming off by Miami's defense for the most part teachers that huge disappointment and he really start to get --"

[41:22]" institute but you know leading up to them Marshawn Lynch. Yesterday that the best I can honestly not named Adrian Peterson a couple weeks you'll get Cincinnati for a touchdown threw a touchdown that made some. Some plate necessary to the church and so on it you know it's it's too bad some other component probably most notably I'm sure got you -- John Paul close bluntly -- like their credit and statement got hurt early in the season you -- early in the yet though and going to a year and against some of the rookie rookie class it's it's been tough on them but again. Picture odd that a great job very quietly picked out -- lleyton on to a loud scream and yell -- You know I think they've made eight might be bounced back after what looked like it was going to be dreadful these."

[42:09]" Agreed thank you were a little time with us today and by the way thank you for your participation in match game coming up adjustments."

[42:16]" I I I wish -- was -- Okay well it isn't and that was acting rightly view it would there's no doubt about that now what was your favorite game show as a kid don't know what what did you was -- But that's okay concentration yeah see -- that went to that may be dating us a little bit but that was one of the arbitration -- it was.

I wanted to -- the -- exactly exactly 30 no clue."

And play the game but I'm I'm stunned. I'm mentally done 585437482 the very first caller just over number can be on the show -- given it like next time salary. -- the very first caller can be a contest and has chance to win and we don't want to go not on nine showing that we do. Are not doing now the fact is that it's a fact of life where Craig.

I realize that because it's a bye week if you know. Honestly on Sunday. -- what little what ball I actually tried to stay away from all of that on purpose on the other hand I took full advantage of today do you actually watch my game I was at a place where at all he's going with a few friends and now okay good I didn't quite watch a -- of last night's game which -- big one for the patriot. Well because -- that is one our team you know what they play this week I think it -- and it it was going to be anger at the end up with more wins in the saint Louis I don't think Linda but two and 14 I won't ever his Colby two important it would be this week both have to exactly correct."

[50:38]" Now it's important everybody -- oh pat mad game in the pac man game -- featuring our liberty I yeah. Well I'm forced -- from fox Tony.

[51:27]" Game whether you watched it what you were hit on CBS television or maybe what the later version on NBC. Or maybe just maybe actually watched one of the old reruns they'll match game. But he during -- editing all or whatever was on the game show network of this show is for you we've got our panel. You heard from them we're gonna ask you some questions you need to match the stars you match the stars you win it that. Okay now the we've got shall explain Jane isn't Virginia."

[51:56]" how are you -- thanks for taking the time -- call we appreciate that you ready to play. Okay perfect night I got a couple of questions for you the idea for you is too. Fill in the blank and answer the question the best what you think our panel of stars will answer it okay. You if you follow that it. By the way have you ever seen match game you know -- you watched it yet on how long --"

[52:27]" just like me you know just like me two aren't very good here we go I the first question then for you -- is. The -- network is looking for ratings going up against Monday -- they're going to call the show Monday night blank ball. I'd think about average second. Now get our panel which turns from channel 45 fox point five -- Boston Brian Lowe for patriots today told him as a rotting. For the Boston Herald -- Feldman from the revolution Russell Baxter for me as being an interest -- act root for patriots today. -- your goal here is to try to answer the question the way you think today would answer the question. You seem knows us well if she absolutely absolutely. The question again is food network is looking for ratings going up against Monday Night Football. They're going to call the show Monday night blank ball. Idea that you have that in mind Jane okay you ready to give it ago here. -- here's the question one more time and you fill -- the -- food network is looking for ratings going up against Monday Night Football they're going to call the show Monday night. What ball. Monday night these these ball she's bull for -- that's an unanswered by the way. An excellent studio audience what do you think about that. I was waiting for the applause I had to go and that's all that this -- ago. They're like that never -- and aren't IR us panels again going to answer the questions though. James says Monday night cheese ball turn pro Fox twenty five what do you say -- Monday night marked balls. Monday night month of balls and well that didn't match but it was a good answer nevertheless Brian Lowe from patriots today this little what are you -- Monday night -- watchable again I would get another monster that are -- that far world for two opponent as -- from the Boston -- Tony what do you -- cheese ball."

[54:36]" how about that we have a match right."

[54:40]" Monday night cheese ball -- Feldman has the -- than -- the revolution food network looking for ratings go up against Monday Night Football the going to call the show Monday night what ball. Fish that was really bad it all. And Russell Baxter from ESPN -- what ball on Monday night meatball. That's actually pretty good answer what do you think of that and yet it's a good and finally last but certainly not least Christina. Accra for patriots today here on patriots dot com Christina Monday night what ball -- an eight ball tonight meat ball okay. Well you matched Juan that's pretty good Jane. Well what it was he had to -- us. You had two meatballs he had a cheese ball in a baseball itself felt but the it is you know aren't going to give me another shot here does that. -- ago. Are here -- the next question you've got one match that it would get one more for. At least. -- here's an excellent read Kurt he's our editor in chief patriots football weekly runs things here and -- sweep let him think he does anyway. Fred -- said his parents didn't like him as a kid. In using diapers. They used blank. I think about that -- record scores -- posts we have W progress right here patriots dot com radio. He's the editor of patriots football weekly. And the gentlemen about -- you know exactly on here on patriots dot com Fred -- says parents didn't like him as a kid it. Abusing diapers they used -- When they Jane got an answer. Fly paper that's actually that's. Fly paper if ever which one. -- a book -- I think you know what I'm going to be generous I'm going to -- after all I'm from the south -- you know I think I can give you in favor. Like papers pretty close anyway guerrillas -- both Roth one stickier than the other all right all right I'm going to give you -- that's what you want. In paper -- to Jane does and -- Again our panel put -- from Fox twenty five regular citizen prince didn't like him as a kid instead of using diapers they used why. Aluminum foil. While ago -- thank you aluminum foil -- it's right below from pitchers today what do you say below -- for a ran out they get the feeling pretty much kind of in the spirit of things -- from the Boston Herald Tony. Sand paper and studio audience -- right we have the advantage we have a match. Fred -- and his parents didn't like him as a kid. Instead of using diapers they used Tony said sandpaper. Jane from Virginia sit stand paper brad. Melbourne from the revolution when you -- paper. Unbelievable that's two matches you have three matches total and you go to well. Oh all right Russell Baxter from ESPN Russell what is your answer. Duct tape. It's likely excellent they used to be imagine that it online quarters I don't know who. I and then now we have Christina Accra compatriots today -- his parents didn't like him as a kid. Instead of using diapers they used. Cotton ball -- but is they appreciate that now you understand some of the pressure these people were -- right. Stay humble and say you've got three and that's just I think you're going to be you're going to be in the running all right we're gonna get your protection from it thanks for plain Jane."

[58:47]" All right they ago came from Virginia -- three with cheese for Monday night cheese ball and it. Bred pit of -- instead of diapers experienced used sandpaper like then I like that like that that we got. Three for Jane that's or score a theory now that once we get her she's -- the money she's definitely while she's definitely in the running for something that's very very very true. But we've got to the questions we asked which means we also have somebody else that we need to get on the old at this point that's the problem here is that. What I wish we were a huge network organization we're not we're -- low -- so there's only one incoming lines out we don't have a switchboard which is why of course you're going to be happy yes yes because you'll do it for the free pizza that we bring into the studio right I mean my contract demands that all not a three route meets that we the free food all right. But I would Jane is taking care all right now you could pick up the phone and you can call -- take the technicolor make it any -- we add someone -- that out. Now don't be -- now. Well off yet he's not you know how the show -- all works do you that you that you can make better answers in Whittier and clever answers right there what Jane had -- what our panel little apprehensive you know. We don't fight you know Rocco right -- 85437482. Again 58543742 they ago and -- as we get the money on the line home you'll be the contestant UB contestant number two you know of a chance to beat Jane's. Three correct answers your questions now I've got two more questions answered will give -- as many opportunities is -- got -- if you can't top the three. You'll win the autograph patriots media is that simple. To make public now -- out right is what we're supposed to. I now have a new appreciation -- newer appreciation at least what Jean Raeburn -- a -- in terms of stamping for kinda feel it would make the pens -- although he ever had to work with telephones they always had to consistency right there right and remember the little we know I don't remember desk oh come true you're too young to remember that but I'm somewhat familiar with what you want you know it was a it was a stage and -- desk at two contestants. And it would turn around so -- it would turnaround backwards. They would reveal the game and fun but in the back he would allow the new contest and come on board I turn on the -- you which until it gets you -- was it. Contestant is done and --"

[1:01:12]" important everybody Abreu did show bad -- game. And that's my game -- featuring our celebrity I guess panel ever -- there from. Fox yeah. I am -- love machine tell you right here on patriots today. Tony -- from the Boston Herald and -- of the boys that are in the evolution of yes hand surgeon coordinator. I'm Christina and I'm from patriot. Now the hollows of -- game -- thousands of in the jar."

[1:01:45]" Thank you don't want to thank you once again welcome ladies and they'll. Thank you or studio audience thank you door panel Doug is in Springfield hello Doug strange season."

[1:01:57]" I'm glad that had a."

[1:01:58]" Massachusetts two win over the shut up a little tight or spring to where with a little water yeah and as you were right -- Springfield -- one lead you to you match game you've watched match before you -- our game how we play it. I'm perfect I see how do you get our panel stern from channel 45 below were -- today. -- from the here at the open for the rest. Russell Baxter for -- has been Christina Akron from patriots today and hearing as your question to Augusta -- The you guys are all. The game food even met expectations are on the post -- I eat on the back it's just blank fine. Yeah of course remember earlier this year we had the T shirts made by -- Thomas in the patriots locker room and he had I needed on the front and they had. Something similar on the back I'm not going to give you that would that would because it could be your answer but that was similar that the patriots as a team did earlier this season. So on the front it's I -- it on the back it says blank five what do you think."

[1:03:15]" I can't think a particular."

[1:03:17]" Okay that's fine so that's what the teacher said that the patriots team players had made in the locker room the season I needed on the front. -- why on the back which going to be chuckle from Bill Belichick and some others and that's. Part of their yeah well that's that's okay -- you know this is all about here I think usually humble part. Are let's check -- with stern for fox point five when you say -- Or all right although there the world Paul brooks talked to a humble pie that's a match there we go below -- Boston cream -- I'll -- decree. I think we were looking for here is more from an actual -- element but that's okay let's look at him as Justin -- what kind of pie. Boone on one of my all time favorites. Course -- me as well that when I was little kid eating implies and probably the part of the country that I'm originally from brad don't -- what kind of line. Meet the high. I don't can't remember the last time ahead of me while I guess -- well I shepherds wise it definitely will be -- over there that's got -- right. Well PW -- always beckoned for food they even made up T shirt on the front it is I needed on the back it says Russell Baxter what does it say. Pizza -- and the that would have been a good 12 and then last but certainly not least. Christina and the level Christina -- treat. Well Sharon and yeah with the cherry remark Drew Knight whose music. It's a fun OK at Japan in Virginia answered three correct its first round you've got one but it tell. Normally the match give if you remember the show that you look at has got to pick you to question a year -- we -- the question for you but that's okay like this when anyone. You need to go to to stay in the game three win for you okay. And we don't have a tiebreaker. Yeah you know well will give people something if you if you tie here to get them correct answers this round to stay in the match. So coach Belichick is a huge step towards it his favorite going constant for the party if -- that you -- know that not -- was to block. This World War was jobless but. Tom Brady was Luke skywalker this at 40 what is your stuff now all have them all day when he showed up is blank. Belichick."

[1:05:52]" Go -- of they have probably."

[1:05:54]" Oh well I'll touch he had them -- he when he showed up as blank ballots. Amen -- repeat the question for you and -- is a huge Star Wars fan. People got his favorite Halloween costume for the party this year -- like Schumacher Vince Wilfork with Java -- Brady was skywalker for any winners just. Tocchet the mall being when he showed was blank. Belichick."

[1:06:22]" They they got really dark -- attack."

[1:06:24]" Ballots are that's an excellent answer to aren't villages. Let's see how many you match if of course you do imagining it all. Parents were -- when he I would say butch says dollar -- bonds Beltran probably along lines of yeah I agree on solar. And I didn't Star Wars upon villages all right so this match he still needs the time. In real -- what are you say what about just a dark day go happen nobody."

[1:06:58]" But it's."

[1:07:01]" All right so just don't know you need one more it's Tony -- the Boston Herald Tony. Are there -- let's -- victim through the they'll appreciate that probably built they -- about that at the Knicks news conference. -- but for the New England total solution the MLS cup bound revolution this week. The way it's still -- another great player unbelievable critical of that. I used to needle and that -- you got more -- that we need to. Discover Russell Baxter. Check on relatives just like -- Stearns. And Hans solo he's coupons -- are you need one more time it's all up to the lovely Christina Accra compatriots today. If she can't come up with -- Belichick -- to hi -- and you'll both win. I don't know what you stand the pressure Doug. I don't know -- instead it -- you are Christina what do you think storm trooper -- storm."

[1:08:17]" goodness gracious Accra. -- played the game magnificently."

[1:08:21]" But -- Nicole collaborate on -- cold -- must have been on the outlook."

[1:08:27]" Very good well said well wells that thanks particular time calling him playing with a three and we appreciate your -- listening to a zero patriots dot com."

[1:08:38]" They go can't. Well that around companies Mets game Judy next time for another edition of -- match gave them. Introduction to triple double proposal which equals in the -- and on top. A favorite -- a fine print that you have as much fun."

[1:08:56]" Listening to that what do okay -- if you're still listening okay we need you to called Gary back or you can least emailed your last name. Thank you that you're just an -- note on the other side of the glass the Jane if you're listening in you wanna. And you get our autograph patriots media -- here we need you to call back Bible wait 5437482 or his and -- an email web radio at patriots dot com via -- make sure you include your address so in which you okay exactly who is going to verified things weren't raised a point of artillery point exactly. Right so if you do -- Jane then we can get this in the mail to you anyway so that's -- Charlotte -- fantastic -- Fun and well thank you by way for I than it is Allen was a dog. Yes it is the dog in his hard fought tactically and -- a little bit short hair at all cotton balls Jerry what is Christine thank him what was. I'm not want understand the game fun game well it. And we had this is it's a bye week you know I we have yet to come up with something different do want to have a little fun and we realize that it's not the perfect scenario 'cause. I've done match game. On local radio stations under an on ESPN radio we play match game course. When you have a radio station set up you can take multiple callers -- Pitted against collar and it usually have lives in studio positions and all that comes -- and so we kind of make do with a but I thought we made chicken salad chicken I -- I -- auto -- whatever it was a lot of work was Gary thank you for all the good Gary that. Gary said like Jerry said you know what we've got another potential bye week on the rise -- You know. Potential that you never know we don't want -- it would never now. But not to -- okay inaugurated want to do that but but I'd. At the very least we have we think -- by we come on now because of the you know little by in the playoffs looks like. Right so if that is the case and we were talking about them in the opener of the program brand that. -- the patriots pretty much had been handed to him now with the -- losing."

[1:11:08]" Diego yeah I mean at this point you have to look as much as at the colts as you do with the Steelers threat right now. I don't know -- tiebreaker look like but they're both -- to obviously the patriots play the Steelers coming up in a couple of weeks but he no longer. Patriots colts and everybody else the Steelers have to be taken seriously -- as. A 72 team but as a potential. Second seed and also on the -- like the patriots so aren't you a lot a lot of play you know nothing but not the Steelers had been overlooked this point he's in but I think. It'd pretty much -- roundly considered. Patriots colts and then everybody right well in the playoff and I mentioned this in the open era well if playoff start this weekend. The colts would be the three seed they went through okay I didn't know what is it a better better AFC -- right now but it at a Steelers have over the cold -- the Steelers want their two losses was to Arizona in the NFC in the product they have -- zero conference record sore right now the colts believer not at the plant wild card weekend that's when. -- leading up to patriots colts to our week and a half ago it was our you know one of these teams is not going to be undefeated one -- over but everyone in my salad it figured."

[1:12:13]" Can -- well then we're both going to get by right whoever loses at home not done deal. Still seven weeks till the place there's a lot of football to be played but it's it's not a done deal at any rate will look about playing either another match game may be doin' I suggested sports jeopardy. And our our next slightly before we open and final playoff for the -- always easier to produce what they want all the time but I'm contests are. History well maybe you know what we do maybe we try to do the email. Did you think about it right here -- people can email in their answers and pay you know it tells the time to -- email. Right though you know it would only now that's entered the has just them there. Well we'll talk about we'll figure -- seven weeks to figure out exactly have some fun with it. We'll get away into the media better to will come up with something clever -- give up last season media guys that are friends -- early then they'll be harder work put together exactly why that's exactly right and you'll be privy to something that very few people like would probably take a look at this year what you think about it culture. -- so let's let's continuing to some emails -- people than taking the chance to email and -- question of the day and I can happen asked about the in the opening -- I'm I'm somewhat concerned in light of the fact that the the -- did lose. On on that I personable concerned about what's want to keep the team focused now Russell. That's who joined as well he's at now they focus as ever problem when it comes to a Bill Belichick coached team. However they will realize it. You know what something burning in here. I I do. We're not fired -- command -- is."

[1:13:52]" I. He's been around -- I'm dead serious there's definitely something burning in -- coming here and smell that while we yeah I patriot we ended up W -- Did something right up and the coffee -- stand over here."

[1:14:14]" I'm and now you know a bullet. College football Karmi retire after Tuesday. Probably benefit after that -- behind me have been to a they've been doing a lot of construction -- anyway yet sorry sorry what was my thought your potential of power down John for some reason the right spot but what was your where you go to bed it was about the whole it was -- out all bulked that's out of me out okay well it was -- excuse me they -- you. They focused -- about their. Anyway oh okay focused alleged off your body it yet."

[1:15:02]" Please let me know obviously flame -- smoke -- you can -- armed. The question wasn't whether or not because of what have -- with the colts in San Diego was concern at the patriot basically at home field advantage handed to them now. In the AFC so what is -- going to be what's out there to keep this team focused is. The chance to create history in those 16 -- slash 90 don't know enough to keep this team --"

[1:15:27]" I think that's part of it I all think that I think they will they focus but I think that in some of their games you know they're they're. And that they want to go in with the mentality but some of the game is it is in the division games at coming up. They are not going to need to even be a 100% focus to win the game not show up and when the game. But that being said. I think you got a couple of games Pittsburgh I think the focus will be there because let's face or -- on. Technically things won't be wrapped up by wrapped up I mean the patriots will one division most likely by then but theoretically. There might be the number one he still in the mix with Pittsburgh theoretically technically they may not have that wrapped up. I think Baltimore at night. I think they'll get I think they'll get fired up for -- because Baltimore right and he deals Thomas will be fired up I think different guys will be fired after that game and think got to be fine. -- the giants game I think they'll be fired up -- 'cause that will that could be the one that could be the one that gives -- six you know. And I think that you have to show up for the division so but I do think Agassi focused because I think they do care about that I do."

[1:16:34]" Are you an email from pat P who's into the bye week we're not talking about much in an interesting question of -- curious about I'm going to just throw it out there last week the San Diego Minnesota game Cromartie or whatever -- to pursue it -- the 109 yards we've seen Hester stand back there and others in different games -- also. -- that -- to be legal. For a defender to jump up and catcher even not down the football just as it to barely make it over the crossbar. Would count as they blocked -- would -- like league gold tending call on basketball. That is legal. Who blocked the kick to keep it from going over the crossbar alone could leap up. At the crossbar and knock it away which has its legal thing to do. Ever do that but. Physically I think it possible we team players try slam dunk a ball the crossbar -- but I always really -- just barely skirt barely in maybe even hit. Given the crossbar to get over -- really -- have a shot at doing right yeah kinda correctly if there's a lot of factors -- hearts out and took it. Don't always have a player -- Now are ones these days article wrong attempts but the long attempt and you have some doubt as -- the field conditions of the wins in their face. -- you know something about the individual thing you know he's going to come a little short. If the smart team the team to do their homework probably other person back there in an effort to return it. Thank you that you never by his locker with a line of scrimmage at the very least we're going to get out of the 2025 yard line. Although why you want to do that in the ball usually if it's a ms. goes back to the line of scrimmage it's a risky proposition yet."

[1:18:06]" It is risky and also many actors that team play. Hi converge at the same time that it happened I had thought about night I it's a quirky thing legally like it's a legal play. The idea of returning in this field -- Is that kind of quirky you know rule or whatever you want to call it it in the NFL but never thought -- that's right."

[1:18:28]" All and pat also says that for the past using the info that they stole from years ago. You gotta think about all the different coaches individual coordinators that have come in and out of teams over those years. Plus like Bill Parcells that -- can catch the signals of the DC's both coaches are idiots. I don't see how the same coach could use the same signals over the amount of time especially with the players rotating around the league -- well me I'd buy this call from the previously I agree with Brazil which is bad coach that's absolutely a 100% correct. I mean you know what they did it for at least so we're told anyway is in order to try to identify tendencies in certain situations. Based on the plays they run you're right the calls. And the signals are going to change from week to week and if they don't it's bad coach. It's practice or coaching. Don't you want to make it tough for people what you -- you can't depend on the same call being in the same call from week to week it's just not. So are banned from box -- says it's been awhile since I've listened but since my iPod crap out of me a few weeks ago."

[1:19:27]" It was on line then come on I mean we're here. 12 to six everyday he took three years ago -- why exactly and that were really cool recorded we hear from six -- night every money -- Friday. So huge -- anyway -- elected talk about the upcoming draft it looks like Eckert will at least be picking it up comment. You know music upcoming yet April April it should be I think we we -- We actually get to 2000 with the dolphins concerns -- out he dropped on draft and yet but are we. Yeah maybe. Is paid at least BP in the top ten 49ers topic and possibly even the top 23 I don't think auditing top I do too. What are some players -- 40 hearing about frequently during the off season it's early I just like some names keep my as the season goes I don't know and Oakland Dorsey and some quarterbacks. I don't hear the war."

[1:20:25]" That I think that you know I think the patriots will obviously draft for need. I think that definitely Darren McFadden at arkansas' and they in the you're gonna want to keep an eye on -- I think he could be one of the top 45 guys go on the -- could be in position especially if they determine that a guy like -- model Maroney is not going to be that durable kind of back that they hoped he would be. I think the Darren McFadden could be in the in the chill here however and we did briefly we briefly touched on this last week during their first by a week here. Hum Russell Baxter seem to think the patriots would make sense if they looked at linebackers yet and I think the kid from Ohio State."

[1:21:04]" Allard clr nine -- Jamar that it could be a real possibility I am I am really waited that is named him. -- really about. Bull pop of conversation from. February April in this regard to the top five pick who might take what position. Trade possibilities. -- but I'm not a position are talking about with -- I don't know as far as running back I don't even for 23 years. No but again you know maybe they determine you know -- anymore you know if depending on his injury in with a not you know they think he you know the right combination of those two guys understand that it could be gust I don't I agree with the I don't think they'll go that route. Frankly -- get a guy that could be on the special I think McFadden could be -- that I think that running back. Trust me that's the position of need I think that there needs -- that act and a jury and -- Kevin -- not getting any younger and -- I don't know whether or your every academic think it very much out -- you clearly in her right now are without a healthy one guy you got -- want you got a one -- you might have won the that's really what you have but I L thing. I think philosophically. That -- five draft pick money back on the on the trend of you need more than one -- he'd you're going to be running backs hard to rely on -- like appleby Peterson. It's hard commitments make money top five that is that you get one who's probably not as. What might -- almost as well. In the round meet there for I think it feels awful thing they do the top but it. And use it. They're going -- at the -- I think also out of all the aisles of the go to the patrons would be huge community to trade down for you know more depth -- was special that they couldn't get a quality defensive player like -- lower in the felt quite there they're they're definitely tree out. But I think actually have -- these people recently. I think that. A team like the patriot who pretty much on being. You can a year you're eager playoff team or on the cost of it means you're rafting in the 20s beyond. Every now and in this case it would be years like that. Every now and then. Does for -- big time top five top blue chipper -- player at his position in the draft. A lot of money to and you never know about college players but he. Have been offered -- chipper or get in the top spot -- haven't. Every you're -- in my."

[1:23:59]" Georgia was -- says. First -- could show you guys provide useful inside the patriots and the rest of the NFL thank you George now my question seeing as the patriots have relied. Mostly -- passing game since anymore as went down do you see the papers that was seven games ago he's in the running game more as the cold weather starts setting and with potential inclement -- against possible. Also wasn't sure -- wise having -- placed a priority was first expected to miss a month perhaps returning. The next few weeks with a case of they misdiagnosed injury or did that have some sort of deadline as far as making a decision. Whether to keep him on the roster or deactivate -- is -- Justin."

[1:24:33]" yeah I still hurts -- Don't get a chest injury would your timetable here while my act like that you know. The team has to do that I think it was where you right away -- knew right away that this team couldn't being. -- an injury. What they weren't sure about that -- three or four -- here before L time we have to make the call right now. Does but progressed with how he proceeded three or four weeks now. Well I know will -- were accurate and if we think it's going to be February at the early before comes back. We'll have to reluctantly put on why are we thinking come back for the stretch run. Double will -- You know any predictions that you may have heard about. When Mike back I don't think it was I think it was day they they don't -- waiting like being in the progress -- made the determination that he's going to need right after the year to be a week or two ago we decided yet he won't be -- you know. -- he'll be better off letting him heal correctly. Exactly and it is the question is to use in the running game more than cold weather starts to that in. Absolutely it always goes that way but that's not going to keep this team the on the football I doubt they'll they'll they'll you know maybe they'll feel more exit if it pretty well now but I think maybe a little more. Com and you know I mean that. How much -- every game rest of the -- pretty much cold weather game hole or in the northeast oh on -- part ago it's not so they. -- will -- one volatile more but now you know why I agree I don't think you can be well here's Craig from North Carolina. Is that right North Carolina but he was South Carolina. He did -- move -- I think David -- Carolina. And I finally does -- as he did we didn't call today's his with the weather this Sunday in buffalo give us a glimpse into the game plan for the upcoming winter playoffs. What's the -- in the your can -- I I did take a quick look I don't need to data -- typical buffalo at night in November. I don't. No now -- going to be in the 40s or you know I need to be chilly but I don't think it's going to be day winter weather type of situation but. It will give -- game plan I don't know not his game plan but -- run the ball more in the past -- and I what I don't want to --"

[1:26:52]" believe in chains that guys those guys whatever it does not only changed what they do what I noted last week he also says this is -- from South Carolina. Which is it correct -- moved or mean I don't know he must -- moved between emails was it shocking to you guys. How the commentators last network for Roche is Lee Terry -- the cart which Shaun Alexander. At least for the ESPN's -- is implied that and he got paid he stopped trying to be an impact player. Emmitt Smith said the tackling Alexander will be like hugging the pillow. The collectively stated that the losses straw -- and being used as an excuse."

[1:27:25]" Why don't like I did I I didn't hear it ought to -- her key Sean -- and irritable little bit. I just you know I think he brought up -- he had a great year whatever was -- four and cashed in. And huge contract and is not in the absence. Sort of what his commitment based on having you don't need -- big contract I did hear some of the excuse making the Mack strong that the you've watched all that but. -- I mean. If you're great back you're probably going to be running like behind let her offensive -- you clutched in one of the best weeks so. You better believe get it done you know with another with another why -- I yeah I don't know the situation is with him but clearly what a major decline in production from or whatever 15 but yet he's here. You know five you know last few years have just been you know if you on the field and -- production so I didn't hear the the complete piling on but I think they're the."

[1:28:23]" Yeah I honestly I I think what they're looking for -- inside as doubles players on their record uncle panel they're looking for guys to go I don't know limit and be somewhat polarizing in their opinions. They -- guys like Emmitt Smith and and -- while I was there keeps on Owens Jianlian they're not -- guys -- he plain -- the past and those guys get up -- and and wanted to -- stand unfortunately Steve young's case sometimes you know he's got his foot squarely in her mouth. So you know he forgets what it's like to be a player I think. I think it's a difficult role actually for some of those guys to fulfil."

[1:29:01]" Great that your well informed intelligent -- don't go off half cocked a little homework. -- re search going into. I don't rip take a toll and or choose your some guys obviously you Reese hurt others I think as we know they'll do not. Okay this come from Shawn. Is -- the patriots stay focused on the perfect season. Yes they hand but I do not think they will. Whenever Bill Belichick locks up the play -- to get that urge to experiment we may fail probable. Perhaps that the pits with no doubt -- I have no idea what will come out of his mind. But it -- thinks there's something to work on he will work on it before he worries about the streak right well -- that I think that all of those other little gimmick I want to -- like -- are independent of they go and mean when things like the Flutie dropped out that was separate. Let's put that a guy. -- were able it passes for. Those art because I want to throw -- players you know another way. Those strategic you know or don't on -- if they focus. I hope we we hope it's under stood that if -- lose a game does it have to be because they work focused. If it is now and that we will that will -- but it was a game is automatically because they were okay. You know you know I mean like I hope we're not you know -- not real at a point now I --"

[1:30:41]" Necessarily think it's automatically because they're not focused I think if they lose a game my guess is that they lose a game based on what we've seen in nine weeks now. Is that they did something to shoot themselves in the foot. I'll give you that they all that should consult for I don't rid of that but I don't think sometimes mistakes are made because you're not focused. I think other teams can cause you make mistake could be because you're playing another good NFL football that's true that's possible in the -- you have field position in India have field conditions that you have to worry about which again could be a factor later in the year you factor all the way. They'll let you know although it possible focus -- again you know just got to balance this thing out here Bryant of focus could also be a problem space if you're not focused on what your duty as specifics -- a specific player on the field. Maybe the ball goes over your head maybe you run a different route and in in Brady throws a pick me or maybe you miss -- tackle because of you know you're concerned about something else I mean. It's possible right. I think with this team based on what we've seen -- nine weeks it's not probable. But it's possible."

[1:31:48]" And also on the team based on what we've seen if a player or the team is not focused on a given player any given series. They brought will be focused nothing that game or -- other players will be focused that they're going to overcome. That one mental lapse or that once small here's a mental lapses so. Guilty they're they're if -- like you're that much more talented than most of these other teams that they might be able to overcome a mental -- here there. Or physical that your there that difference where you know in past years even with the patriots when they were winning game much tighter game even during record winning streaks. On one or two more mental lapses in the game could be the difference between winning and losing. Whereas right now you know. If they made mental mistakes against Miami couple weeks ago who owned me it didn't matter I mean there are still winning by three touchdowns. They might deal in other words they might you overcome some lapses."

[1:32:44]" Brian in San Francisco and this one. Does John got a question of -- I think we can all agree that if the pats go 90 you know this year they can be seen as possibly the greatest team ever assembled but let me ask you this. But to the pads and a 15 and one they break all the -- of records that they are threatening. Then they gonna win the Super Bowl they still be regarded as possibly the greatest team ever corked or perhaps. They have been lumped in with one of those great teams like the 85 bears 90s cowboys 70s Peter cetera. That's that I do believe they will be 60 you know this year they won't admit it but I'm sure the players and coaches are thinking about their piece of history and want to make that happen. I agree we -- that that is the best motivation they have now. And all that they need."

[1:33:28]" Any good what mean yet they'll they'll still because there was great teams ever feel it was again it they'll be -- those other teams in the sense that yet they won as many games and they want -- won the Super Bowl too but. If they went 15 games. Great numerous offensive records. Do our team and individual office record in the Super Bowl -- because you're one of the team if not the greatest."

[1:33:50]" Well I think the you'd definitely you'll start to hear the compared -- them between the 7 patriots and the 72 dolphins. And realize -- the patriots managed to go 60 you know in the regular season and lose somehow in the playoffs. These -- from almost on par with the dolphins because of the number of games played. If Pedro go 15 to want to sweep of the playoffs and go in and finish 18 and why Murton nobody's ever won 18 games. I don't believe if you don't want only get it right out of the teams that won 1151. I don't I don't think that they want -- round I have to go back and looked -- back you know what would it. -- the that they're don't think so that they that they. How -- they were they 15 to one and the money thing where I could get a BRE -- maybe that's a -- but whatever it is. If fickle 1515 games into it up winning the Super Bowl. And set the records -- if it 15 games. Records but the ball. You've gotta have gotta gotta -- that's the good hitter. What do and I think I think all overall Bryant you have to win a championship to be considered. A great team anyway there's some very good team. Maybe even arguably some great teams that never won championships that never under the discussion and will never. In the discussion because ultimately did not win a champ -- this -- 851 there was -- a team that went 151. And it -- comparable one of them -- superbowl -- one -- one regular season. It -- break record lost a ball to LO 51. Argument could be one degrees with a 15 to break a regular season record loss to a -- you -- now you know it could happen I think that's legitimate you know I suppose it could. We not happening the weekly figure out what the other super ovals where. With -- okay I have no problem let's go to -- can't writes I would love the pats to a 16 you know and win the superbowl but. I would hate to Indy get a bye in the first round at bats go 60 you know having the pats beat Pitt. Which you give them three losses in Indy would have to so many would most likely of the -- Difficult games tennis in Jacksonville our home if patriots lose two pit -- wins out. Which might happen because -- schedule is not a heart of the -- it would most likely play on the road all three of their playoff games all for now. If you woody if you win your division -- figure how to -- Gary breed right. The game at home if you division your first game -- at all a matter of -- I play what are we Corey haven't of the patriot last year eight bit -- they've played one division -- had to play in the wild card -- and it on the road than home game and that's what taxing I mean the difference between. Having. 1281 three or four. Mark for you because while you're having a physical wild card weekend game those wanted to eat our ticket back at all. Drink in hand -- heat up so far. You're watching football watch the other teams duke it out to the -- 85 bears to go to Hollywood 18 and one. So you would in the matching the five players. And the niners to -- in 84 niners heavily Russell told you"

[1:37:14]" or dies every guy that's true and it but to show you -- my brain -- today much. Suffered from ERS to watch them -- ago. Parts of big -- yeah exactly so you would have to I think that you probably -- the bears had done that yeah I forgot about people what matters you Russell -- Shows and -- game Russell and no match in Russell. All right -- have a couple minutes left -- on -- today -- we got all right well you know we are talking about that Jack Chad Jackson and Eddie Jackson you know it doesn't go by we doesn't mean there's no news is we could have actually three guys that you practice for the first Chad -- Ajax of course -- round. I had -- we heard from Jackson to. We heard from the Jack it through yesterday -- not Chad as one who gets a little more -- or more intriguing on obviously we know physical skills are we know a little bit about what he did last year -- And not -- production when he didn't produce a couple touchdowns and you got a glimpse of what he could do. He's trying to crack into merely deep and productive like your record Italy you think you will. Well I I don't think he's going to be active this week. -- and I don't think he's going to make an impact this year I think that. If anything they will try to get him in -- I think they they consider it counted and not yet someone to you know turn your back on. Like we've mentioned -- a lot of him but. Anyways we hear from him today and of his outlook on on what he can or can't do this year and how he feels it. And Eddie Jackson as well I think Eddie Jackson is going to step right in India special teams regular starting on the stuff -- they -- by the way."

[1:38:57]" Alex and in the note record is Paul Zimmerman of SI dot com. Talking about Manning's game on Sunday wrote a quarterback who stands on the pocket facing amenable Rusch. Throwing to an all star cast of receivers is a pretty picture but there's nothing about it that reaches me on an emotional level. Like Ellis shot Brady where was doctors the -- doesn't want to documentary. Well first of all I would argue that he didn't have exactly an all star cast receivers to throw two on Sunday I mean it was almost painful you knew that he was looking for Reggie Wayne. Every time he dropped back the past when that team is hurt without Marvin Harrison there."

[1:39:29]" Right without Marvin Harrison. Without Anthony Gonzales portly product -- yeah. And if you're you know. Nick price I I can't believe that they almost won that game that they had no business even being. -- on San Diego over not -- and it. They should've won the game or utley should have been ahead with a minute on the last editors in the military -- I think the COLT offense can -- you just -- giving game they don't have Marvin Harrison. Or they don't have Dallas Clark ballclub or they don't if Gonzales. Or they don't have their left tackle or they don't lose our right tackle in the game I heard during the game Allen had 14 healthy offensive player -- doesn't let that. I'm not feeling sorry that we are patriots have been in and that kind of position before. Everything bad that their pick up in the right now on the defects or three out. They're they're hurt if that's an issue right now are not often do your humble all all the way around and -- the most teams that -- reliable kicker a week."

[1:40:26]" When I think he hugged -- that I've heard that the thing I mean what it does it shows that Peyton Manning without the proper weapons. He's human right and help at all it shows. That's that's extraordinary but what it does it it shows that he's human me it shows you also what those targets have meant to him and his career. Let's face you know and I think this is why you know when it comes to who's better men -- rating it's a moot point. Now -- they both have. Or or at least you know we can see now what warning can do with a capital receivers now this last week showed us what one does when he doesn't have the receivers that he's had in the past. All things are equal here these guys are both good quarterbacks just -- It was time and time again you put Brady on man on on Indy and you put are planning on New England. The teams don't miss a beat I don't think not a beat I think -- guy after four new commercial endorsements weakening to perform and Hebert will be. Thanks below that huge odds aren't list just like I said in the opening are here. Unfortunately well fortunately for me I will not be here tomorrow and Thursday because as a college basketball duties via -- or -- auto parts ESP and you Porta Rico tip off classic -- Rico where he plays. We opened up Thursday afternoon with ample. Temple Providence and how -- at the eighth and then the friars if they beat him on Thursday will play the 18 ranked Arkansas razorbacks on right now is our -- that -- there yet they are -- I have never. In Puerto Rico so this will be a first -- all over the Caribbean yes I've been out of Jamaica and into the Dominican but I never been Puerto Rico will be will be fun. So in my place tomorrow we will have programs -- I want you to. Give all their logos Oliver to have that I had it -- because we have football to talk about. And the patriots do have a game against the Buffalo Bills of buffalo this -- on the united 8 O'Clock so in that regard Michael -- Who is covered the -- beat for the -- call I believe now for all of the journal register newspaper in a southern New England he is going to be here posting tomorrow and Thursday for you patriots playbook. So I want you to give him -- run divided attention to give him the courtesy like -- that you would give -- As good he's good. Now he's not boring is it good yeah. He's a great guy to talk show -- his exit good host we've actually had him as a guest on this program in the past now here we thought so much visibility. That we wanted to give him a chance he will be here with you tomorrow and Thursday beginning at 2 O'Clock he's right. -- ago. Until that point in time."

[1:43:10]" Out of they say -- in Puerto Rico he has. Years later he has. Well that'll wrap up today's match game on an engineer next time for another edition of -- match game of him. Actually in production -- to triple double promotional it was a remember this winter and on top cherry pie"
