00:00So what'd you think of the Falcons and Panics overall?

00:02I've been talking about him.

00:04I want to hear what you thought of him.

00:06I thought he was, I thought he was good.

00:08You know, look, I didn't think he had to be spectacular,

00:12obviously, especially the way the game played out.

00:16When your defense gets you a couple touchdowns

00:19fairly early in the game and the lead builds up,

00:22they probably didn't really give them that much to do either.

00:25Once they got a big lead,

00:26it was a lot of handing off to Bichon and doing things.

00:29But look, I mean, 18 to 27, 2-0-2.

00:32He did throw the one pick early in the game.

00:35I thought he was good.

00:37I think he's going to have a much tougher challenge

00:39this week on Sunday night when they go to play Washington.

00:43That's going to be a much tougher challenge for him

00:45when he goes heads up with Jayden Daniels.

00:47But overall, I didn't think he hurt them.

00:50And it didn't help,

00:51it obviously helped that the Giants are so pathetic

00:54and that Drew Locke gave him a couple of free touchdowns

00:57in the first half.

00:59Here's the second of those two free touchdowns.

01:01Matthew Judon got this one from Locke on Fox.

01:04Second down and seven.

01:08And Locke looking, ball deflected and intercepted!

01:12Taken back by Matthew Judon!

01:15The second pick six today for Atlanta!

01:19I mean, you gotta be kidding me, right?

01:21Like, so they had it all going, easy win.

01:24The Giants are awful.

01:25We know that.

01:26We're, you know, used to it.

01:27It's every week they get worse.

01:29They have literally gotten progressively worse

01:32as the season went on.

01:33Each week they get worse than the week before.

01:36It's unbelievable.

01:38So the Falcons, I'll get to the Giants in a moment.

01:40The Falcons finish up at Washington this Sunday night

01:46and then home for Carolina.

01:47Those are their last two games.

01:49Whereas Tampa Bay is going to finish,

01:53they play Carolina this week

01:55and then finish with New Orleans.

01:57So Carolina, New Orleans for Tampa,

01:59Washington, Carolina for Atlanta.

02:02Atlanta has the tiebreaker.

02:03So if they're tied, they would win the division.

02:07You know-

02:08You know, what do you think is going to happen?

02:10Who's going to win it?

02:16I feel like Carolina is going to win one of these two games

02:20and whoever loses to Carolina

02:22is who's going to get screwed, right?

02:23Like, I just, like, I could,

02:25I think that Atlanta is going to lose

02:27to Washington on Sunday night.

02:28I really do.

02:29I think that Washington's going to win that game.

02:32But Tampa almost lost to Carolina a few weeks ago.

02:36That was a close game.

02:37Carolina's playing well.

02:39I know the game's in Tampa,

02:42but I could see Carolina causing some problems for them.

02:45I think that Atlanta ends up winning the division

02:49because they'll both go one and one in some fashion

02:52and they'll finish tied with nine wins

02:55and Atlanta will get it off of the tiebreaker.

02:57I think that's how it will go.

02:58Every time Carolina's at home and they're a dog,

03:01they cover.

03:02It's unbelievable.

03:02Then when they were favored, Dallas whacked them,

03:05but they play well as a dog.

03:08And I think that you're right.

03:09I think they could be in the mix here

03:11and ruin it for somebody.

03:12And there's no doubt they keep covering.

03:15I hit four of the last five games they played,

03:18in fact, as a dog.

03:19And then I hit the Dallas game against them

03:21because I didn't have faith in them as a favorite.

03:25And look, I know,

03:26and the Bucs are playing both these games at home.

03:29The problem is, is that the Bucs showed me last night

03:32that I can't trust them.

03:34So I'm not gonna just trust the Bucs to sit here and go,

03:37that's a win, that's a win against Carolina and New Orleans.

03:40Even though it should be,

03:42I'm not gonna sit there and say that,

03:44especially without Carolina at least

03:46has gone and finished some things up.
