Yesterday, of course, we heard from Kirk Cousins.
00:05
He's going to be going back to Minnesota this week, but bigger problems are the Falcons
00:10
have lost three in a row and are now six and six and tied with the Bucs atop the NFC South.
00:16
They do have the tiebreaker.
00:17
They beat him twice.
00:18
Let's hear from Falcon head coach Raheem Morris.
00:21
What are we doing about Cousins?
00:22
Four picks last week.
00:24
Been very inconsistent.
00:25
Can he get woken up going back to his old home?
00:29
And we just hadn't played well the last game and the last game in about a half of that
00:34
Denver game, whatever the case may be, and we got to get him back going to where he feels
00:38
comfortable, wherever to do the things we want to do, and we can execute and get the
00:41
ball into our playmakers' hands.
00:43
And it's not just Kirk.
00:44
It's really the whole offense.
00:45
It's really all of us.
00:46
It's really the whole team.
00:47
We've got to find ways to win those football games.
00:49
So it's not frustrating.
00:50
What was your word you said, Jared?
00:52
Inconsistency.
00:53
It's not inconsistency.
00:54
It's about us being able to go out there and execute and find ways to get wins.
00:57
So for us, it's more about not a frustration of inconsistency.
01:00
It's more about how to be more consistent so you can get the wins you need to get.
01:04
But they don't win.
01:05
I mean, I can hear all the rhetoric all day that you can throw my way, but the bottom
01:12
line is they don't win.
01:13
I think they're in trouble.
01:16
I think they're in trouble, too.
01:18
And neither of us are very enamored by the Vikings.
01:23
That's kind of paper tiger-ish to me, this 10-2 mark that they have coming into this
01:27
game.
01:28
And 5-1⁄2 is a very tricky number.
01:31
But I do think the Vikings are going to win this game against the Falcons on Sunday, Scotty.
01:35
46-1⁄2 is the total.
01:36
5-1⁄2, as I said, is the number.
01:37
Yeah, but, you know, I think the number's too big.
01:40
I do.
01:41
I think that Minnesota wins the game.
01:44
To me, it's the same.
01:45
Like, they play all these close games, too.
01:48
And I think this game's a close game.
01:49
I think it's a three-point game.
01:50
So I like Vikings to win, Falcons to cover.
01:54
It's too many points.
01:56
I'm kind of leaning that way, too.
01:57
But I will not, I can tell you right now, will not be going to the window with the Falcons
02:01
after they stuck it to me last week against the Chargers at home.
02:05
I need to walk away from Atlanta.
02:07
So it's probably just going to be me.
02:08
Get up from the table and just go back to the park, get a good light, and go up the
02:12
elevator and go to the room.
02:14
I got plenty of other games on Sunday afternoon where teams didn't stick it to me like Atlanta
02:19
did last week.
02:20
So I'm not going to go get involved with them.
02:23
You know it.
02:24
The Bears are in San Francisco against the 49ers coming up on Sunday.
02:29
We know the deal.
02:30
The Bears have now fired Iberflus.
02:31
They have gotten complete free fall.
02:33
The Niners have lost a bunch of games in a row, now five and seven, and last in the NFC
02:39
West.
02:40
In fact, I'm going to hold off on Kyle.
02:42
You want to know why?
02:43
Because I know they're about to tell us we've got less than a minute left.
02:46
I don't want to play Kyle and then have to rush him on out of here.
02:49
So I'll save Kyle for later on, Scotty, because he's kind of long and I don't want to cut
02:54
him off.
02:56
But either way, the Niners have to get back on track against the Bears this week, who
03:01
are all sorts of a mess.
03:03
And at least try to sell you that they're back in it if they can win and get to six
03:06
and seven.
03:07
I mean, listen, I don't believe a word about the Bears doing anything, anywhere, anytime,
03:15
soon or otherwise.
03:17
I don't buy them for one second.
03:19
It has been an absolute nightmare.
03:22
The whole season has gotten worse by the week.
03:25
They're going to lose this game.
03:27
They're going to go out there and lose.
03:28
And I also do not believe for one minute that the Niners are going anywhere.
03:34
Their season is already over.
03:37
They're done.
03:38
I mean, what are they going to do?
03:39
What are they going to get to six and seven or something?
03:43
You're going to tell me that there's no way they're a wild card.
03:48
It's not happening.
03:49
They have to win every game.
03:50
They have no players.
03:51
Everyone's injured.
03:52
They stink.
