00:00Here, one of the other ones that I want to get to before we probably look ahead a little

00:07bit.

00:08Chargers, 17 to 13 over the Atlanta Falcons.

00:09Falcons were a team that in the beginning of the year, we were like, maybe let's not

00:13get ahead of ourselves.

00:14They might be better, but they might not be great.

00:16Then they started piecing together some pretty spectacular football.

00:19And then for some reason, I feel like that fizzled out, or maybe I just kind of stopped

00:22paying attention, but Chargers coming out on top here, not a big passing performance

00:25by Herbert.

00:26Honestly, just kind of slugging through here, but McConkie, 117, is this the guy to go to

00:32when it comes to props and looking at the Chargers?

00:35It has to be, especially with JK Dobbins being placed on IR, where we expected Gus Edwards

00:41to be the main guy in the backfield for the Chargers, but they didn't do much of anything

00:45on the ground, say with Kamani Vidal getting involved, Hasan Haskins even got a catch.

00:51And it has to be Ladd McConkie time and time again.

00:55Maybe we go to Will Disley at times if it's a matchup thing, but I think Herbert going

01:00to McConkie will be the answer, especially receptions if they get it too early and often.

01:03When it comes to the Falcons, like you said, they fizzled out, they started off up and

01:07down, then they won three in a row, they lost, they won two in a row, they're on a three-game

01:12losing streak.

01:13They play at Minnesota next week, very tough matchup.

01:17But they end their season with the Raiders, the Giants, the Commanders and the Cardinals.

01:22They can pick up three wins there.

01:25So their season's not over.

01:26And the Falcons are just a yo-yo this year, where they started a little bit low, then

01:30they won three in a row, and now they're in a little bit of a low, but they can end their

01:33season on a high note with, I'm going to say, three out of four wins.

01:37Maybe not the Commanders, but the Raiders, the Giants and the Panthers, they can win

01:40those games.

01:41So if you have a Falcons to make the playoffs ticket, I think you're still alive.

01:45It's not easy and it's not comfortable to have, but I think they can be okay, but definitely

01:50not great.

01:52Yeah, I would have to agree with that because there's something else you and I talk about

01:56quite often for these post-game shows, looking at the statistics, what the numbers tell us

02:00versus what the result tells us.

02:01I mean, 245 through the air for Cousins, not bad, obviously.

02:05Four interceptions, disgusting.

02:06But you got Robinson on the ground, and then through the air, you got 95.

02:11So I mean, you see some of the progress that their offense was able to make.

02:14Turnovers are going to hand your game over to your opponent regardless.

02:17So I wouldn't veer away from them being able to see the post-season, anyone who has tickets

02:20on that one, I completely agree.
