00:00Yesterday, of course, we heard from Kirk Cousins.

00:05He's going to be going back to Minnesota this week, but bigger problems are the Falcons

00:10have lost three in a row and are now six and six and tied with the Bucs atop the NFC South.

00:16They do have the tiebreaker.

00:17They beat him twice.

00:18Let's hear from Falcon head coach Raheem Morris.

00:21What are we doing about Cousins?

00:22Four picks last week.

00:24Been very inconsistent.

00:25Can he get woken up going back to his old home?

00:29And we just hadn't played well the last game and the last game in about a half of that

00:34Denver game, whatever the case may be, and we got to get him back going to where he feels

00:38comfortable, wherever to do the things we want to do, and we can execute and get the

00:41ball into our playmakers' hands.

00:43And it's not just Kirk.

00:44It's really the whole offense.

00:45It's really all of us.

00:46It's really the whole team.

00:47We've got to find ways to win those football games.

00:49So it's not frustrating.

00:50What was your word you said, Jared?

00:52Inconsistency.

00:53It's not inconsistency.

00:54It's about us being able to go out there and execute and find ways to get wins.

00:57So for us, it's more about not a frustration of inconsistency.

01:00It's more about how to be more consistent so you can get the wins you need to get.

01:04But they don't win.

01:05I mean, I can hear all the rhetoric all day that you can throw my way, but the bottom

01:12line is they don't win.

01:13I think they're in trouble.

01:16I think they're in trouble, too.

01:18And neither of us are very enamored by the Vikings.

01:23That's kind of paper tiger-ish to me, this 10-2 mark that they have coming into this

01:27game.

01:28And 5-1⁄2 is a very tricky number.

01:31But I do think the Vikings are going to win this game against the Falcons on Sunday, Scotty.

01:3546-1⁄2 is the total.

01:365-1⁄2, as I said, is the number.

01:37Yeah, but, you know, I think the number's too big.

01:40I do.

01:41I think that Minnesota wins the game.

01:44To me, it's the same.

01:45Like, they play all these close games, too.

01:48And I think this game's a close game.

01:49I think it's a three-point game.

01:50So I like Vikings to win, Falcons to cover.

01:54It's too many points.

01:56I'm kind of leaning that way, too.

01:57But I will not, I can tell you right now, will not be going to the window with the Falcons

02:01after they stuck it to me last week against the Chargers at home.

02:05I need to walk away from Atlanta.

02:07So it's probably just going to be me.

02:08Get up from the table and just go back to the park, get a good light, and go up the

02:12elevator and go to the room.

02:14I got plenty of other games on Sunday afternoon where teams didn't stick it to me like Atlanta

02:19did last week.

02:20So I'm not going to go get involved with them.

02:23You know it.

02:24The Bears are in San Francisco against the 49ers coming up on Sunday.

02:29We know the deal.

02:30The Bears have now fired Iberflus.

02:31They have gotten complete free fall.

02:33The Niners have lost a bunch of games in a row, now five and seven, and last in the NFC

02:39West.

02:40In fact, I'm going to hold off on Kyle.

02:42You want to know why?

02:43Because I know they're about to tell us we've got less than a minute left.

02:46I don't want to play Kyle and then have to rush him on out of here.

02:49So I'll save Kyle for later on, Scotty, because he's kind of long and I don't want to cut

02:54him off.

02:56But either way, the Niners have to get back on track against the Bears this week, who

03:01are all sorts of a mess.

03:03And at least try to sell you that they're back in it if they can win and get to six

03:06and seven.

03:07I mean, listen, I don't believe a word about the Bears doing anything, anywhere, anytime,

03:15soon or otherwise.

03:17I don't buy them for one second.

03:19It has been an absolute nightmare.

03:22The whole season has gotten worse by the week.

03:25They're going to lose this game.

03:27They're going to go out there and lose.

03:28And I also do not believe for one minute that the Niners are going anywhere.

03:34Their season is already over.

03:37They're done.

03:38I mean, what are they going to do?

03:39What are they going to get to six and seven or something?

03:43You're going to tell me that there's no way they're a wild card.

03:48It's not happening.

03:49They have to win every game.

03:50They have no players.

03:51Everyone's injured.

03:52They stink.
