00:00CJ Stroud and the crew are headed to not just a division title, but potentially a second

00:09or a third seed in the AFC playoffs.

00:12They're one and a half point dogs in MetLife right now, plus 110 on the money line.

00:18Total is set at 42 and a half.

00:20I can't buy into the New York Jets.

00:22This might be a no play for me.

00:24I would take the points with Houston.

00:26I would take another approach as the first or second quarters play out.

00:30But for me, it's Houston and the over in this ballgame.

00:34Oh, yeah.

00:35I can't understand why a two and six football team is favored over a six and two football

00:40team.

00:41I mean, really, there's a certain point where, you know, home field is nice, but am I really

00:48going to give the Jets, like the Jets would not be a pick them or even a one point underdog.

00:53I wouldn't think if they were playing this game in Houston, if you believe home field

00:56is worth, you know, maybe two, three, four points.

00:59So why are the Jets a two point favorite, Joe?

01:01I mean, there's a lot of talk here in New York.

01:03You know, you're in Jersey there that this could be it, you know, for for Aaron Rodgers.

01:08If they lose, they fall to two and seven.

01:11What are you doing?

01:12You know, you have an under contract for next year for 30, 35 million guaranteed.

01:16But the trade deadline is next week.

01:18And if you're two and seven, you're an interim head coach.

01:21You don't know if you're coming or going with this football team that, you know, they

01:24may put him on the trade market.

01:26Would there be a team?

01:27I threw it out there, just Green Bay, because we had the Jordan Love injury.

01:30Right.

01:31If that turned out to be a little bit more serious than what the Packers are now saying,

01:34how crazy would that be trading him back to Green Bay?

01:37Right.

01:38But what are you going to do with Aaron Rod?

01:39You're going to put him out there at two and seven.

01:41What's the point?

01:42Yeah.

01:43Yeah.

01:44He would.

01:45This is what he wanted.

01:46Scotty.

01:47Are you kidding me?

01:48This is all Aaron Rodgers doing.

01:50He wanted Alan Lazard.

01:52He wanted all the pieces that he asked for in regards to free agency.

01:57He wanted Nate Hackett.

01:58He wanted Robert Saleh fired.

02:01He wanted his buddy Tay to come over and they traded for him with Las Vegas.

02:06He's gotten everything he's asked for.

02:08The only thing he's got, he hasn't gotten his wins.

02:11And again, that there's no chemistry or any type of continuity in the locker room.

02:16The young players don't know who to look to.

02:18Are they looking to Jeff Oldbrook or are they looking at Aaron Rodgers to fix things?

02:22Right.

02:23And at the end of the day, when does that defense quit?

02:26I could tell you this right now, since Robert Saleh left, that defense has regressed.

02:31They haven't been as elite, a top 10 unit that we saw maybe in the early part of the

02:35year.

02:36Certainly not the same team that laid it all on the line in London when they almost pulled

02:41that game out against Sam Dorn of the Minnesota, Robert Saleh's last team, last game, they've

02:47been getting abused.

02:48I mean, you tell me you allowed Jacoby Brissett to drive 12 plays for 76 yards with the go-ahead

02:55touchdown with the game on the line.

02:57I just, you tell me what the problem is in New York.

03:01Yeah, it's just, and they used up three timeouts, Joe, in the first 10 plays of the game last

03:08week.

03:09Three!

03:10Now you don't utilize the first half timeouts quite as stringent as you do the second half.

03:15I've never seen a team though, need three timeouts all on offense because they don't

03:20know what they're doing.

03:21You know, all the talk, you know, a few weeks back about the cadence and all that, that

03:24stuff is all still there.

03:26It's just, it's amazing how bad this football team is both on both sides of the ball, special

03:32teams as well.

03:33They got a field goal kicker who leaves the NFL with misses and Greg Zerlein with six.

03:37It costs them at least two football games.

03:40They're a mess.

03:41That's why I say, and you got an interim head coach, so I don't think you're planning on

03:45bringing him back right next year.

03:47So why not just blow the whole thing up, make trains, get rid of all these guys and just

03:52really start all over again.

03:54I mean, again, I don't know why they're a favorite against you.

03:57I love Houston.

03:58Houston as a favorite, not good with C.J. Stroud, but as an underdog, great.
