00:00:01
all right guys welcome back this is your
00:00:02
GMC Sierra tweet of the night the
00:00:05
commanders can become the third team in
00:00:07
NFL history to defeat each of the top
00:00:10
three seeds in their conference in a
00:00:12
single postseason Washington would join
00:00:15
the 205 Steelers and the 2010 Packers
00:00:19
both won the Super Bowl That season oh
00:00:22
my gosh Susie and I were just talking
00:00:23
about this before Sports call how crazy
00:00:26
would it be if the commanders somehow
00:00:30
pull this out like I don't want to jinx
00:00:32
it cuz I do have some friends that are
00:00:34
Washington fans and every time I bring
00:00:36
this up they're like cidy stop talking
00:00:37
oh my gosh they're so nervous about this
00:00:39
because at the beginning of the Season
00:00:41
Jaden Daniels we knew he was going to be
00:00:43
an allar Allstar rookie quarterback um
00:00:47
but to see him just take this team by
00:00:49
storm and take them to where they are
00:00:51
now is just so incredible yeah and I
00:00:54
think that last week actually surprised
00:00:56
a lot of people I mean you and I even
00:00:57
talked about it on our show every blade
00:00:59
of grass
00:01:00
we predicted from the NFC that the lions
00:01:04
were going to be making it to the Super
00:01:05
Bowl and then the commanders came up
00:01:07
with this yeah wops on our part whoops
00:01:09
on our part and then the commanders came
00:01:11
up with this big upset now the lines did
00:01:13
have some injuries that they were uh
00:01:15
battling last week however I think that
00:01:18
this shakes things up whenever it comes
00:01:20
to uh the commanders taking on the
00:01:22
Eagles tomorrow and I want to see what
00:01:24
your opinion is we can go over that
00:01:25
later but what your thinking is going to
00:01:27
happen in that game yeah I mean I'm just
00:01:30
so excited for tomorrow I love
00:01:32
Championship Sunday it is so exciting
00:01:35
whoever ends up in the NFC in AFC it's
00:01:38
just going to be so much fun to watch
00:01:39
and I I need to look back and see when
00:01:42
the last time a six seed has made it to
00:01:44
the NFC Championship obviously a lot of
00:01:47
commanders fans out there are very
00:01:49
excited because they haven't even seen a
00:01:51
playoff game in Washington but not in
00:01:54
Washington but you know what I mean
00:01:55
watched a playoff game with the
00:01:57
commanders in it in decades and so to
00:01:59
see them uh have this run has just been
00:02:02
so incredible so if they were to beat
00:02:04
the Eagles now I Google this this is
00:02:06
from Yahoo sports this is from today two
00:02:08
days ago if they beat the number two
00:02:10
seeded Eagles in the NFC Championship
00:02:12
Game they'll be only the third team ever
00:02:14
to take that path to the Super Bowl well
00:02:17
there you go making history right there
00:02:20
I mean it'll just be so much fun like
00:02:22
you said we had the lions in this one
00:02:24
but if it's not going to be the Lions
00:02:26
what a way uh to I mean it's just going
00:02:28
to be such a fun game and I just hope
00:02:31
it's not a blowout I could see it going
00:02:32
one of two ways I could see this game
00:02:35
being very close until the very end or I
00:02:38
could see the Eagles winning like 45 I
00:02:41
also have to ask this question though
00:02:43
how mad are Steelers fans going to be
00:02:45
about because six seed over here in the
00:02:48
AFC I mean the commanders are proving
00:02:50
that it can happen if they make make it
00:02:53
to the Super Bowl I'm just saying might
00:02:55
make the Steel City a little bit upset
00:02:57
well to add to that Sue the commanders
00:02:59
just last season season finished the
00:03:00
year 4 and 13 and what did they do they
00:03:03
blew everything up got rid of everybody
00:03:06
head coach GM I mean everybody they blew
00:03:09
it up brought all these new people in
00:03:10
Dan Quinn you know brought him in people
00:03:13
didn't really know what to expect got a
00:03:15
rookie quarterback in there he's making
00:03:17
waves I mean they blew it all up started
00:03:18
from the bottom and now they're here
00:03:20
literally 13 and four whatever their
00:03:23
record is heading into the playoffs now
00:03:25
in the NFC Championship Game my dad and
00:03:27
I were having this exact conversation
00:03:28
just last week
00:03:30
I mean it does work it is possible if
00:03:32
you blow it all up start from scratch
00:03:35
you can make a run like this the
00:03:36
commanders are proving it you can do it
00:03:38
in one season 4 and 13 to the NFC
00:03:41
championship game one season granted
00:03:43
it's a bit of a Cinderella Story a lot
00:03:45
of things have to line up to allow that
00:03:47
to happen but at the end of the day I
00:03:49
mean it is what it is that happened we
00:03:51
watched it happen so I going to say I
00:03:53
mean again we can wait to talk about it
00:03:55
but right now the Eagles Jaylen Herz is
00:03:57
not doing so well he's hurt so what is
00:03:59
going to happen and the Eagles aren't in
00:04:01
their best shape right now however I do
00:04:02
think they are a Powerhouse in the NFC
00:04:04
they have been over the last few years
00:04:07
so it'll be interesting to see what
00:04:08
happens tomorrow yeah I think we just
00:04:10
keep talking about this at this point
00:04:11
because I'm just so excited tomorrow's
00:04:12
Championship Sunday let's just keep
00:04:14
talking about it let's do it another
00:04:15
thing I'm interested to see too is
00:04:17
Jaylen Carter he's just a beast for the
00:04:19
Eagles on the defensive side and just
00:04:21
seeing how jayen Daniels as a rookie
00:04:23
quarterback handles him is going to be
00:04:26
very interesting to watch because I
00:04:28
don't know many people if many people
00:04:31
can stop Jaylen Carter I mean he is the
00:04:33
reason they won last week so it'll be
00:04:36
very very I'm very excited for that game
00:04:38
now on the AFC side I was gonna say
00:04:40
let's talk about the bills and chief the
00:04:42
Chiefs can we just not can we just not
00:04:45
with the Chiefs again guys I just don't
00:04:47
want to see this happen again um and so
00:04:50
I'm just really rooting for the bills I
00:04:52
mean wow they've been right there time
00:04:55
and time again just right there and the
00:04:57
Chiefs Pat Mahomes is kind of their
00:04:58
Kryptonite so I'm just really hoping
00:05:01
they can go into Arrowhead and pull out
00:05:03
a win tomorrow because gosh Josh Allen
00:05:05
is just so exciting and those Bills fans
00:05:07
are so much fun fun to when they're
00:05:09
happy they're fun yes Bill's Maia is
00:05:11
electric um I I will say I hope the
00:05:14
bills pull it off however I could see
00:05:16
the Chiefs going in and just making this
00:05:19
upset once again going to the Super Bowl
00:05:21
I mean we had the Chiefs as our pick uh
00:05:24
on the AFC side so I think I am going to
00:05:27
stick by that unfortunately however if
00:05:29
the bills do beat the Chiefs that is
00:05:32
going to be incredible it's going to be
00:05:35
incredible I just don't know if if it's
00:05:37
going to happen yeah the other Arrowhead
00:05:39
I mean come on yeah and last year after
00:05:42
the Super Bowl immediately Pat Mahomes
00:05:44
looked I think it was Travis Kelsey and
00:05:46
he was like we're not done I want to I
00:05:47
want to repeat again I want to three
00:05:49
repeat no one's ever done it in NFL
00:05:51
history I want to do that and it's Pat
00:05:54
Mahomes and so far he gets what he wants
00:05:56
so you know we'll see what happens
00:05:58
tomorrow all right guys let's get some
00:06:00
callers David in Finleyville wants to
00:06:01
talk some pens David what's going on yes
00:06:04
thank you for taking my call I want to
00:06:06
ask yours and su's opinion on whether
00:06:09
the Penguins should let go Mike Sullivan
00:06:12
and try for a new coach after this
00:06:15
season thank you here's the thing I'm
00:06:18
gonna with our little pull down there
00:06:20
remember guys go vote kk.com who's the
00:06:22
most to blame it has changed
00:06:24
significantly thank goodness oh yeah and
00:06:26
that QR code too guys uh go ahead and
00:06:29
scan the Q
00:06:30
take you to where the PO is you straight
00:06:32
to it here's the thing Su this might be
00:06:34
kind of a hot take I'm not really sure
00:06:36
but I think the penss for a while have
00:06:39
been banking a little bit on the
00:06:40
Nostalgia side of things you know we've
00:06:43
kept certain guys around because they
00:06:45
they are legendary and they're so
00:06:47
historic to the sport and to the city of
00:06:49
Pittsburgh we're going to keep them here
00:06:50
and kind of Bank on the Nostalgia if
00:06:52
they're taking up those roster spots I
00:06:54
mean there's only so much control Mike
00:06:56
Sullivan has with this roster if they're
00:06:58
going to keep those guys around you know
00:07:01
what I mean we we've talked about that I
00:07:02
mean and I know who you're talking about
00:07:04
and we're going to upset people by
00:07:06
saying it sque Crosby malan Chris L Tang
00:07:09
all those guys I mean they are great
00:07:11
players they are franchise players they
00:07:12
have been around for years we've watched
00:07:14
them grow up with this team however
00:07:17
hockey is changing I watched it at the
00:07:20
American Hockey League level these
00:07:22
players are getting faster they're
00:07:24
getting shiftier they have more tricks
00:07:26
up their sleeves and it's not that yeah
00:07:29
it's it's it's not that old school I
00:07:30
mean even the players sizing they're
00:07:32
they're a little bit smaller they're
00:07:33
just quicker guys um it's not that old
00:07:36
school type of hockey anymore where it's
00:07:38
the fights and you have to be you know
00:07:40
heavy hitting all the time it's more
00:07:42
Shifty it's about speed um and yeah you
00:07:46
just mentioned having to maybe blow
00:07:47
things up to see what you can get I mean
00:07:50
that might be a move that the Pens have
00:07:51
to make is making a big move in this
00:07:53
offseason to really uh offset what we've
00:07:56
seen over the last couple of years yeah
00:07:58
I agree with you I just would be very
00:07:59
interested to see how much weight soly
00:08:02
really has on the roster and those types
00:08:04
of decisions when it comes to the vet
00:08:07
contracts I would assume that the
00:08:09
ownership in the GM probably has a
00:08:11
stronger say in whether those guys stick
00:08:14
around or or not so you know I don't
00:08:17
know I think it's a collective effort
00:08:19
it's the entire front office in my
00:08:20
opinion I think they all need to get
00:08:22
together and get some younger guys in
00:08:23
here it's plain and simple to be quite
00:08:25
honest with you all right Norman let's
00:08:27
go to Norman and Black Ridge Norman how
00:08:30
are you good evening ladies hello Norman
00:08:33
uh last last night I had called and I
00:08:35
talked to Richie Walsh and uh Susie Cole
00:08:38
yep that's and I had uh I think Mr Walsh
00:08:42
understood what I was trying to say
00:08:43
about the Green Bay Packers
00:08:46
situation I think they have a good track
00:08:49
record at picking quarterbacks yeah and
00:08:52
I think maybe the Stevens should try to
00:08:53
emulate how they evaluate
00:08:56
quarterbacks yeah I mean I agree with
00:08:58
you there uh they have never skipped a
00:09:01
beat I mean they went from Favre to
00:09:02
Rogers now they have Jordan love you
00:09:04
know they're very impressive and they're
00:09:06
really good at picking quarterbacks when
00:09:08
it comes to quarterbacks here in
00:09:10
Pittsburgh and I've said this before
00:09:11
I'll say it again because I do truly
00:09:13
believe in it I just don't think Justin
00:09:15
Fields has gotten a fair Shake in this
00:09:17
league I think if you look at Lamar
00:09:19
Jackson the ceiling that he is could be
00:09:22
Justin Fields ceilings ceiling I know
00:09:25
that sounds kind of crazy but at the
00:09:26
same time Lamar Jackson had years to
00:09:30
develop under the same system and to
00:09:32
open up that pass game he was primarily
00:09:34
a running quarterback those first couple
00:09:36
years and he was a now look at what he's
00:09:38
doing he's a favorite to win the MVP
00:09:40
again and he's throwing the Deep balls
00:09:41
to Z flower so I think if Justin Fields
00:09:44
was given time with the same under the
00:09:46
same system same coaching staff time to
00:09:49
develop you know I I think he could be
00:09:52
that so um guys we are going to head to
00:09:54
break give us a call 412- 575
00:09:57
2600 we want to hear from you
00:10:08
guys all right guys let's check a take a
00:10:11
look at that poll if we can pull it up I
00:10:14
want to see uh what people are thinking
00:10:15
when it comes to this pens season so far
00:10:19
all right who's to blame for the pen
00:10:20
struggles like we said guys not so good
00:10:23
on the road right now two and three
00:10:24
through those five games two more games
00:10:26
left before they're back home a lot of
00:10:29
people voting Mike Sullivan 55% to GM
00:10:32
Kyle dubis 39% so you know like I said
00:10:36
sue I just don't know how much of a pull
00:10:39
suly has in building this roster right
00:10:41
now so um it'll just be it'll it'll be
00:10:44
interesting to watch how the rest of the
00:10:46
season shakes out I mean we're in like
00:10:48
the final third of it I believe now so I
00:10:50
feel we can almost compare this to how
00:10:53
people blame Mike Tomlin for when the
00:10:55
Steelers lose right everybody wants to
00:10:57
just come at Mike Tomlin but at at the
00:10:59
same time how much of that decision as
00:11:01
to what roster he has is up to him at
00:11:04
the end of the day it's up to upper
00:11:06
management and general manager so if I
00:11:09
were to vote on this poll I would be
00:11:10
going Kyle dubis y uh however uh I'm not
00:11:13
voting on this poll so here we are yeah
00:11:16
I will say Mike Tomlin is not going
00:11:18
anywhere sorry guys but he's just not I
00:11:20
know for a fact he's not all right thank
00:11:22
you so much for joining us same time
00:11:25
same place next week I'll see you guys
00:11:27
