Before we get to this bank of calls,
00:01
Eagles, how loud are the footsteps, TJ?
00:03
You watched that Sunday night game last night.
00:05
They have won seven in a row.
00:06
They're running for more yards per game than the Lions,
00:08
and they're giving up the fewest yards in football.
00:10
Yeah, they look good.
00:11
I mean, it was obviously a good bounce back for them
00:15
after how they finished last year, right?
00:17
Just a complete meltdown mode.
00:19
I still think their coach might cost them at some point.
00:23
I mean, I don't, end of the first half yesterday,
00:26
did you watch that?
00:27
The whole sequence where the Rams had the ball
00:29
was a third down, there was like a minute left.
00:31
They dripped off like 30 seconds.
00:33
And then called the timeout in the next one.
00:35
And then they wanted to have two timeouts,
00:37
but 30 seconds, then they come out
00:38
and they're running the ball with Jalen Harris.
00:41
At like the 50-yard line.
00:42
So it's, and there's every game where Sirianni
00:44
makes some very questionable clock management decisions
00:48
that I think is going to cost them.
00:50
But no, you're right, they're a really good football team.
00:52
Their offensive line is good, they are.
00:54
I mean, they can win people, they're healthy.
00:56
I see, as good as-
00:57
Lane Johnson's playing good.
00:58
As good as the Lions, arguably better.
01:01
Their tackle duo's better, and-
01:03
I would say they're, those are the top two.
01:05
Yeah, whatever way you want to order them.
01:07
I don't know, I don't want to piss people off by saying that.
01:11
Hey, TJ, I heard you on the radio.
01:12
You said the Eagles are better than us.
01:14
No, I think those are the top two.
01:16
Okay.
01:17
Especially when it comes to run blocking.
01:17
I said in the overreactions,
01:19
the two best teams in football are in the NFC.
01:21
I think the Lions' biggest threat is Philadelphia.
01:23
I could, yeah, that's hard to argue.
01:25
I'm not going to argue that.
01:26
I think they are.
01:26
I still think Green Bay is a good team.
01:29
Young team, starting to maybe figure it out a little bit.
01:32
And did they get, you know, you can't even play the,
01:35
oh, you got lucky, you know, with no Purdy and no Bosa.
01:38
I mean, Lions have had games where,
01:39
everybody's played games where the other team's
01:41
missing something.
01:42
Lions haven't had, they're best player in infrared, right?
01:44
So, you can't really play that, but,
01:46
no, I'm with you when it comes to Philly.
01:47
I mean, they look like,
01:49
they look like a dangerous team, for sure.
01:51
Well, and the issue is,
01:52
they're not letting you take a deep breath,
01:53
because they're only one game behind.
01:54
At least with, like, Minnesota,
01:56
you know you're going to get one more head-to-head
01:58
to create the gap, even if you lose.
02:00
Green Bay, even if you lose, you got another head-to-head.
02:03
If you lose a game and you're the Lions,
02:05
you open the door to Philadelphia taking the one seed.
02:08
You know what I mean?
02:09
Like, that's, they're nipping at your heels.
02:11
They're pain in the ass.
02:13
They're much like the Lions,
02:14
where their biggest improvement is,
02:16
they're secondary.
02:17
They've got a couple of young guys,
02:18
Cooper Dejean and Quinion Mitchell.
02:21
CJ Gardner's playing good.
02:22
Slade went out of the game yesterday,
02:24
late in that game, I think it was a concussion,
02:26
but he's playing good.
02:26
They're secondary, much like the Lions.
02:29
Probably the biggest improvement that they've made,
02:31
and that's why that defense is getting back
02:33
to a typical tough, hard-nosed,
02:37
physical Philadelphia defense.
02:39
And they've got some veterans on that team.
02:42
Brandon Graham looked like he had hit
02:43
the Fountain of Youth last night.
02:45
He had some slays that he made, man.
02:47
Until he didn't.
02:47
Yeah, but did you see Schefter this morning,
02:49
season-ending tricep injury for Brandon Graham?
02:52
Oh, no, I missed that.
02:53
But it must have been really late in the game.
02:55
He tweeted at like five in the morning.
02:56
So, I mean.
02:57
Oh, jeez, that's terrible.
02:59
Oh, man, I feel bad.
02:59
Brandon's a good dude, too.
03:00
I know, everybody likes him.
03:02
Detroiter.
03:02
Yeah, he reminds me of Lomas,
03:03
just always in a good mood.
03:05
But no, you're right, man.
03:06
You talk about Philly being kind of 1A, 1B right now.
03:10
Yeah, and they'll get it.
03:11
They'll put the Lions at 1A when it comes to the team,
03:13
but they're playing good.
03:15
Yeah, just keep waiting.
03:16
Something just kind of still,
03:18
maybe they fixed it, but with Sirianni,
03:20
something just kind of still feels like.
03:23
Well, there's a couple of games coming up.
03:24
Like a ticking time bomb?
03:26
Well, I mean, this weekend,
03:28
they're going to play at Baltimore.
03:30
So, that'll be a nice test to see, you know,
03:32
did they fix all of those?
03:33
Is Sirianni going to cost them?
03:35
They also.
