00:00Chiefs beat the Falcons 22-17, Scotty, last night on Sunday Night Football.

00:08Now, the Falcons had, I guess you would like to call it, several opportunities to win this

00:13game.

00:14Is that a fair statement, I guess you could make?

00:16Several opportunities?

00:17Now, they had the drive, their second to last drive of the game, where I'm pretty sure that

00:22was pass interference on Kyle Pitts when he was going for that touchdown in the end zone.

00:27Should have been first to goal the one, but no flag.

00:29They don't kick the field goal, they don't get it on fourth down, they give it back to

00:33Kansas City.

00:34They drive down again, Scotty, inside the 20-yard line, and they have a fourth and very

00:40short with about a minute left to try to extend the game.

00:44Here it is.

00:45Westwood won sports last night.

00:46The ball right now is in between the 12 and the 13, the marker is right at the 12.

00:53Fourth down and a half yard, Robinson and Algier in the game.

00:57Split backfield behind Cousins.

01:00Cousins goes under center.

01:02Cousins takes the snap.

01:03Hand off Robinson, sweeping left into the backfield and he is stopped.

01:07Oh, no.

01:08Oh, what a disaster.

01:10And then my buddy, as you know, I have a huge Falcons friend in Atlanta, and basically,

01:18I think what he did was, he complained all day about it.

01:22He said today, it was our own fault, even with all the spilled milk.

01:27I cried about, they had a shot if they would have kicked the field goal instead of going

01:31for it and then stopped them.

01:33And all they would have had to do is kick a field goal there at the end instead of handing

01:36it to Bijan Mustard, hoping for the first down.

01:40It's always something goes wrong for this team.

01:45It really is.

01:46When do they ever catch a break?

01:48I mean, they don't.

01:49They lost the Super Bowl.

01:51Matt Ryan never got it done, even though he was a great quarterback for them.

01:55And now, here they are, losing games.

01:59They should have won that game.

02:00And you got the champs on the ropes, and you end up losing again, because they always end

02:05up losing.

02:08They always end up losing.

02:09And look, it's obviously, at the end, it's easy to sit there and say, oh, they should

02:14have kicked the field goal the first time, then they could have kicked the field goal

02:16the second time, and they would have won the game by a point.

02:19That's nice to say, but don't we always scream and yell at these guys to go for it when they're

02:24down five points?

02:26Everybody wants them to go.

02:28Everybody always wants them to go.

02:29Go for it.

02:30Go for it.

02:31Yeah, they got jobbed on the pitch play.

02:33It should have been a flag, and it should have been first and goal at the one.

02:36But that's the price to do in business when you're playing the Kansas City Chiefs.

02:40All right.

02:41That's the way that it goes.

02:42All right.

02:43You get those calls all the time.

02:44So, I didn't have a problem with him going for it, Scotty, the first time.

02:48My problem was, on that play that we just played, that dopey sweep or whatever that

02:53was to the outside, to B. John Robinson, you've got that bigger guy.

02:57Algier is like a hammer.

02:59Like, I don't know why you didn't just send Algier up the middle like a hammer and try

03:04to get the yard and a half, two yards that way.

03:06It made no sense to me, what the play calling.

03:09That was my problem.

03:10I'll be honest.

03:11I mean, running it now on fourth down, no matter who's carrying the bread, it's a difficult

03:18task in the NFL.

03:20When they line up and they get tight on a fourth down at the line of scrimmage, it is

03:27brutal to get even a half a yard, let alone two yards.

03:32So I don't like either guy running the ball there.

03:36I'm going to throw it in the slant, in the flat.

03:39I'm going to go outside.

03:42I'm going to try to get some space because there are no holes when it's fourth and that

03:47distance and they crunch in and then, you know, the Eagles have their tush, right?

03:53But they're the only ones that can make it work.

03:55And I don't know if it still works with the new kid at center, but very few teams can

03:59get those yards, Mike.

04:02It's tough in the NFL.

04:03I saw it yesterday.

04:05The Steelers and Chargers both have great running games and they couldn't get it going.

04:09The Steelers got it going late, but at the end of the day, they had like 100 and some

04:13yards rushing and the Chargers didn't because the Steelers wouldn't let them have anything.

04:20So I think it's hard to run in the NFL nowadays with defense.
