All right, alright, you come and to your life from Philly.

It's the volume Tony Fool's Go NFL Reaction Show as always Polly Fools go here with Tony Fools going Downy.

NFL Reaction Show.

So mus get the Eagles totally collaboring the backers and you know, we know your people out there. You look forward to hearing what we think of all the games because you know you can't think for yourself. We didn't want to make your wait until our regular show Thursday, So here we are coming to your welcome.

So we're gonna tell.

You how the Eagles totally exposed Jordan Love and it's.

Potentially criminal plan Tony.

And even despite the win, Tony, we do have a little bone to pick with, you know we do.

Yeah.

Also, we'll tell you what Mike Tomlin has been doing wrong for decades now. And we're gonna ask the one question out the Bills Broncos game that everybody is still asking now for the record, just in case you're wondering, we didn't bother watching the Commander's bucks down because who cares.

You know, neither of them are going to.

The super Bowl, so doesn't matter if you want takes you want a takele.

They both suck, so they go done. There you go, there, you go. All right, But enough for that.

Let's just get right into it, Tony with our NFL Wild God reaction.

And wild card reaction.

First out to the gate, the Eagles totally demolishing the factors, literally, as it seemed pretty much everyone on Green Bay got injured.

I mean, the wide receiver is Tony.

It seemed like the only thing they could catch was an ambulance to the hospital.

Yeah, what do you think was going on there?

You know, honestly, I started to wonder if Jordan Love was actively trying to get his receiver is killed. I couldn't tell if those were passes or attempted murders. You know, you gotta wonder maybe he actually wants to get his receivers killed so that Green Bay's front office will be forced to sign better receivers. If that's the case, that's a bold strategy. Disturbing but bold.

Just perfect analysis, Doty. And now turning to the Eagles, you know, faithball, these morons online they were saying Jalen Hurts didn't have a good game because he only threw for thirteen completions at one hundred and thirty one passing yards. But that's because these idiots are reading the stats wrong, aren't they don'ty?

Yeah, why aren't you counting the completions to Saquon? All those handoffs should count as completions.

Think about it.

What is a completion but the transfer of the football from the quarterback to another player. So really, the adjusted stats show that Jalen Hurts had forty one completions. And since you have to count yards after the catch slash handoffs to Saquon and can it gain, well, that's two hundred and sixty four total passing yards. That's a terrific stat line.

Just such eye opening statistical analysis that, Dony. And you know, while we're very happy about the Eagles winning, we do have a one tiny critique with one of the players, don't we, Dony?

Yeah, I have to say I was not pleased with Saquon sliding instead of scoring that easy touchdown at the end of the game. Let's just say someone I know, not me, had placed a three hundred thousand dollars bet on a Saquon anytime touchdown. And you know that's someone again who wasn't me, might have lost every dollar they have in savings and was planning to use that money to buy an indoor jacuzzi with a tiny diving board. And I'm just saying, Saquon's gotta be thinking to these things, you know, you gotta be thinking of winning, you know, playoff games and jacuzzi's. It's just really disappointing, you know, for that other person again, who wasn't me.

Just absolutely heartbreaking, Tony, for that person who certainly wasn't cute.

Of yeah, just let's just move along. Let's just keep going anyway, Let's just move to the other game.

Sunday, the Bills beat the Broncos thirty one to seven. As everybody on the planet expected that, Tony not a lot to say.

Here, what's your takeaway?

You know, frankly, I'm still wondering why they even bothered to play this game. You know how in Techmobile you can just skip the week and just let the computer simulate the game. I think the Bills and the Broncos and everyone else would have actually preferred that nobody would have gotten hurt or bored.

The teams could just sit.

Back, have a couple of drinks and relax and watch the Bills destroy the Broncos and a much more entertaining computer simulation problem solved.

So smart, Tony. You know, don't get surprised out there. If but next year's Wild God games are mostly tech moobil, right, Tony, would be great? All right, Let's go to Saturday's game. The Ravens beat the Steelers twenty eight to fourteen. Now, yeah, the Steelers still haven't won a playoff game since twenty sixteen.

Wow.

And in that time, Pittsburgh's head coach Mike Tomlin He's never had a losing record in the regular season.

Wow. Well, Tony, that's clearly the problem right there.

Isn't it absolutely hasn't anyone considered that maybe Mike Comlin has been winning too many games. He's been winning so much during the regular season that the Steelers never feel like they have to get any better. That's terrible coaching. Look at Nick Siriani last year. He knew he was winning too many games, so he deliberately lost almost all the remaining games. And now look, the Eagles are better than ever. That's smart coaching, knowing when to win but also when to lose so that you could win again.

Just so thought provoking that, Tony, And well, now to the other game Saturday, the Chargers. They got blown out by the Texans thirty to twelve, Justin Herbert throwing four interceptions, and that has a lot of people saying that Herbert is quote a social media quarterback.

Dony, what's your take on that?

You know, I always say it's important to look at all the stats when evaluating a quarterback. And yes, on Saturday, Justin Herbert only completed forty three point eight percent of his passes and threw four interceptions. But I also ran the analytics on the Chargers Twitter account and posts about Justin Herbert did generate a combined seventy six point five K likes and a very solid forty eight point six k retweets, and on ig the posts also racked up fifteen point six k sins.

So when you total up all.

The stats, Justin Herbert is statistically a good quarterback.

Just amazing statistical analysis, that, Donty. And you know, while we're discussing the Chargers, we got to look at what went wrong for Jim Harbor in his first season with the team. And yeah, Tony, when you break it down, what do you think went wrong for the coach.

You know, when you think about it, it's very clear why Jim Hobbar struggled this year. He didn't commit enough recruiting violations. You know, he needs to get back to what made him great, and that's finding loopholes in the rule book to recruit players and then expertly denying all knowledge or wrongdoing. It totally seemed he was playing by the rules this year and that was obviously a huge misstep by him.

Just an absolute miscalculation by absolutely.

Yeah.

Now let's look the Monday night's game by the Vikings. They're going to be playing the Rams on a neutral field in Arizona after the game got moved due to the fires in Los Angeles and well Tony.

Something just has to be said here, doesn't it.

You know, we don't like to spread misinformation on this show and more dumb conspiracy theories. But having said that, how do we know those fires weren't started by Sam Donald. Donald's from southern California, He went to USC he knows the mountain topography out there. And now suddenly the Rams don't have home field advantage. Very coincidental, don't you think, You know, as they say, where there's smoke this fire, Well, maybe we should start saying where there's Sam Donald.

This fire just perfectly valid analysis, Tony. You know, just such a perfect note on which the raft absolutely Harey comes has to ruin the show with this needless correct.

Has to what.

You just said, Sam Donald started the La.

Fires, No, which is saying he could have. How do we know he didn't?

You didn't, you know, even for this show and the reckless stupid things you say. This is an all time low.

Oh, well you know it's about to hit an all time low your body when I dump it in the ocean.

Yeah.

And on the subject of fire, you you're out of it here, Yeah, you're done, get at it.

Oh, he's still talking before he's fired. What what?

It's almost as dumb you said that handoffs should count as completions for Jalen Hurts.

Yeah, it's transferring the ball from the QB to another player.

Yeah, it makes total sense, bro.

But the ball doesn't go in the air. You can't count that as a completion.

No, Well, you know what will be going in the air. You when I hit you with my camaro. Yeah you know what. You never completed puberty. Oh, it is a great way to wrap.
