00:00Thanks to Baker Mayfield, who somehow didn't throw a pick, but he was sure to turn the

00:08ball over.

00:09He was going to do something.

00:10Him and Jalen McMillan.

00:11That's the other thing.

00:12When I say this stuff, everyone always says like, I'm taking credit away or whatever.

00:17And please just throw up for me for one second, just a millisecond so we can have a quick

00:21convo on real quick.

00:23What the commanders did was amazing.

00:25What Jaden Daniels did, what Dan Quinn did, and Terry McLaurin, all the grownups grew

00:29up.

00:30Domi Brown was babysitting people last night, getting people their lunch, dropping it off

00:34at the old folks home.

00:35Like everything went well.

00:37Also the tide has turned in this organization.

00:40They're getting breaks all the time that they just don't get.

00:44We've been talking about this behind the scenes all season, me and Derrison and Ryan and Toby

00:48and different people.

00:50Like last night they made a doink field goal with the game on the line.

00:57It's not weird that they would doink a field goal with the game on the line, but that it

01:01would hit the crossbar and go in different.

01:05Same end zone.

01:06Yep.

01:07I was in the stadium 25 years ago.

01:10Dan Turk snap doesn't get to Matt Turk.

01:11They don't kick the game winning field goal.

01:13They don't go to the NFC championship game.

01:15Same end zone, same uprights, same goalposts.

01:1925 years ago, Dan Snyder's first year as the owner.

01:22This time hog ownership group's first chance.

01:25We're hitting uprights and it's going in, but other things like Graham Barton is a legitimately

01:29excellent center.

01:30Young Duke player, rookie, he snapped the ball at the wrong time, inexplicably third

01:37and inches.

01:38I can't stop there.

01:39Run.

01:40Can you stop there?

01:41I certainly cannot know.

01:42Bucky Irving is going ham sandwich in the half.

01:44They're going to pick up a first down on third and inches.

01:46If they don't, they'll get it on fourth and a foot or third, fourth and inches.

01:49They have two chances to get six inches and Graham Barton snaps the ball too early.

01:55The line's not ready.

01:56Mayfield's not ready.

01:57Turns into a fiasco loss of three or four.

01:59They've got to kick the game time field goal instead of continuing to March to take a fourth

02:04quarter lead.

02:05Respectfully, that's not a play that Washington made.

02:09That's a thank God that that happened kind of thing.

02:11Just like the doink it in the Baker Mayfield fumble.

02:14Nobody swatted that out of his hands.

02:17Nobody hit him.

02:18He and Jalen McMillan bumped into each other and went, whoops, I messed that one up.

02:23Like what is happening?

02:24Yeah, it's starting to feel, I'm not going to do the thing.

02:27Don't do the thing.

02:28I'm not going to do the thing.

02:29I, but if I was going to do the thing, okay, which I am not doing, Darris, I am not doing

02:35the thing.

02:36And Ryan specifically, I want you to know, cause you're a corporate guy.

02:39I am not doing the thing, Toby.

02:41I'm not going to say that this is like team of destiny type.

02:46But if I was to say that, I would say something like, why are all these weird things going

02:51their way and how long will that continue?

02:53But I'm not going to say that.

02:54I mean, to your point, we always have to offer the caveat.

02:58They deserve it.

02:59They won.

03:00They dominated that first half until Baker Mayfield scrambled for nine plus yards, trucking

03:05seven different people, which changed the game.

03:07And instead of having a lead, double digit lead, potentially getting the football back

03:11and to start the second half, it was 10, 10 going into halftime.

03:14So they, they deserve to win this football game, but thank God Todd Bowles is like, nah,

03:20I know they can't stop us.

03:22Let's let's kick some field goals.

03:23Let's get rid of it.

03:24Let's host to these timeouts for, for weird haphazard times.

03:27Thank goodness.

03:28He managed the game so poorly when they got stopped on third and one and the play you're

03:32talking about the premature snap, I'm going, Oh my God, they're going to go for it.

03:36They're going to walk down and get a touchdown.

03:38And it's going to take, you know, one of these incredible Jaden Daniels moments.

03:40I still believe, but goodness gracious, they made it harder.

03:43The lineup to kick a field goal and thank God, thank God.

03:46They chose that.

03:47Thank God.

03:48They chose it.

03:49The first possession of the game to take, to keep the points and not go forward on fourth

03:52down.

03:53Again, the Washington could not stop them.

03:55At least you can't stop the run.

03:56You can certainly sure as blick can't cover anybody, but thank goodness.

03:59They said, no, no, we're good with that.

04:01Play conservative and you lose.

04:04What was better?

04:05Hmm.

04:06The Howie Kendrick clank or the Zane Gonzalez doing clanker doink.

04:13Clank for me, because it's in game seven of the world series.

04:16And that's my answer.

04:17Yeah.

04:18What if that doink was in the Superbowl?

04:20I think the doinks over the client, the doink beats the client in that case, with all due

04:24respect to Howie.

04:25Sorry about your luck, Howie doink over clank.

04:28I got the greatest text of all time last night as I'm in the bowels of the stadium, Dave

04:34Jagler online one, he goes, that's the best doink since Kendrick off the foul pole.

04:40And I thought, you ain't kidding Jags, right?

04:45And I'll see you when the summer of silence or what do they call it?

04:48The silence season of silence season of season of silence.

04:51Let's touch the people next appropriately.

04:54The MGM National Harbor listener lines are open and played a playoff game yesterday.

04:59So it's not a victory.

05:00Oh my God.

05:02It's a victory Monday, Danny.

05:04It's a victory playoff.

05:06That's from their playoff win, right?

05:08They get to go on.

05:09The other team does not.

05:11That's that's a, that's your big takeaway there feels like a little special brewing

05:15situation.

05:16This is a developing situation here with a game against Detroit looming on Saturday night.

05:23I'm on short rest.

05:24They're rested.

05:25I don't have the talent.

05:27They have, I'm not the one seat, but I got five on it.

05:33Jaden Daniels is playing his butt off right now.

05:36800-636-1067 is the number ladies and gentlemen, you're rooting for a team in the divisional

05:43round of the playoffs.

05:45We're granting Danny on a victory Monday.
