Have Spencer raer in the house new year new us that’s what you’re supposed to say is that what it is I guess I don’t know well you know what uh small small Flex Neil uh 7 years ago today spny you’ll appreciate this so you can this

Sort of goes out towards you um and why January 2nd because New Year’s resolutions are supposed to be made on the first but nobody tells dmac what to do so I do it on my own time today’s my 7 year anniversary of no cigarettes well

There you go done smoking and I know I’m proud of Spenny cuz spenny’s on uh he’s in the fight he’s in the fight he he got through you got through the fight the other night over over New Year’s Eve over the Christmas holidays you uh we talked about it before anybody who’s

Trying to kick something or change something the holidays are usually a tough time to do it but you’re sticking to your guns bro and I’m just proud of you and and that reminded me today yeah seven years ago the last cigarette I had yeah um but yeah more other better

Things to smoke yes hell yeah hell yeah baby thanks Steve what are we going to talk about today you know yesterday wherever you want to go uh wings are in San Jose tonight West Coast Swing starting off really come on man let’s go I mean I don’t know I guess I’ll save my

Uh diet tribe on the Lions for later because we should probably yeah we’re definitely we’re going to get into it there’s a couple things and you know just everybody out there and I think is is handling it correctly we saw what we saw you know the the whole world witnessed it which

Is is the best part and uh you know moving forward I believe that this this is actually one of the greatest gifts that will come we will look back to this because this is this is where this is where it changes in my opinion I believe

Anyways and I’ll talk about more when we get at it later on in the show Absolutely jump into that Woodward sports.com chat thread subscribe to Woodward Sports YouTube channel get in there and get your thoughts in there and we are doing it today uh Kevin T good

Morning uh Ransom we love Michigan bd3 thought criminal F the cowgirls yes we we’ll get to that uh mavelli sucks to go Michigan is overrated Neil rule uh Andrew clingerman eat your words Neil what do you mean eat your words they they they finally did what we

Thought that they should do again don’t get it twisted right Neil because Neil comes at you where he has higher expectations than a lot of the fan base does until now but you’re all congratulatory right you’re all happy Michigan finally got it done when when they needed when they needed to that’s

What good teams do and yes they didn’t play their their best game they got to clean that up uh going into the finals but it would that’s what good teams do when they don’t have their best they find a way to win and that was you know

The the the signature win obviously of this program um for for as many years as I can remember because what what is at stake now they’re not done this reminds me this reminds me the 1980 uh Winter Olympics when the USA beat Russia in the semifinals but they

Weren’t done they still had to beat Finland in the finals even though it was you know the Miracle on Ice and stuff like this so uh maybe that’s what Michigan Jim Harbor and them should show him Miracle on Ice and show them that the job’s not done but everything I

Heard from them after the game and stuff like this they’re well aware no and and you know that’s that’s what it is like and through all this and I know you guys are going to take this the way that you want to take it but nothing has

Changed the stakes are still the stakes it was a nice win yesterday no question about it but if you don’t cash it in it doesn’t matter and I know that’s hard to hear today but my message is the same right now as it was back in August in

July when we talked about it it’s it’s a It’s All or Nothing proposition as good as it feels right now go get your little Rose bow t-shirt Champion t-shirt if you don’t win next week it doesn’t matter that’s not moving the goal post or anything BMG Mark me on this right

Here no they’re going to win next week but that win still definitely means a lot you said Michigan wasn’t you said it yourself Michigan wasn’t SEC good and JJ McCarthy can’t show up in big games JJ McCarthy threw for three touchdowns LED them with four minutes left can’t throw the ball

Downfield had two 30 yard passes on that drive 15 yards on the ground C tapped it off with a touchdown passing touchdown they weren’t SEC good but they just beat an SEC team so right but it doesn’t matter if you don’t win next week and that’s not moving the goal post Gentry

That’s what it is you were moving the goal post a little bit because you were talking all that [ __ ] that they were not SEC good and they just dominated Bama dominated well not dominated see this is the prince Ben here we go they just dominated B I know they had a bad

Second half but for the first half they had control of that game and they won so is what it is you the post a bit Spenny am I am I saying the same thing I said before you are saying that uh they need to win the championship but you did

Say they weren’t SEC good they were just big 10 good you said that JJ doesn’t show up sit here uh I just think they’re going to lose you give the best coach of college football a month Neil did you say that about Nick Sav that he is the

Best coach in college football and that if you give him a month I did I did as everybody else in the world did well no but I think I think we’re just talking about you right now right right but they but here’s the whole thing the underlying right because they hadn’t the

Whole thing I get where you’re coming from until you prove it to me that you can do it when you haven’t done it I’m going to I’m going to be questionable and that’s where you were atay everything now that they did it which what they were supposed because it all

Goes back to this dmac and and I was I looked into this camera and said the exact same thing if they do it what can I say can’t say anything you got congratulations and the fact that it doesn’t matter how they got it done they got it done all those things that you

Thought like so I mean it’s okay to be wrong in sports it’s a it’s at the time did that was was that the type of game that you thought that would happen and I don’t think so because you and I were talking earlier and you thought really

Right I thought it was a game of who’s trying to be the smartest guy in the room right Michigan not running it early trying to you know pass especially early on and stuff like this you look at when Alabama started dominating getting their running game going and then their

Offensive coordinator decided that that you know wasn’t good enough so uh at the end of the day they played the game they found a way to win it wasn’t easy they didn’t play their best game but they got it done and that’s all you can ask for

No because that’s the nature of the sport now at this point where you’re in like you’re in the playoffs you either win or you’re done and that’s it man and they won so they get another shot at but how about this like and and but for the national champ like two semi-final games

What a what a great two semi-final games just too bad it wasn’t earlier bro like why are we playing that game at 12:45 at night man like why is that game still going on I was falling asleep at the end of so so was I I’m not gonna lie

To you it was such a good game too and then if you didn’t like like when uh the running back went down for Washington like all that drama at the end you thought absolutely was going towards Texas and it looked like Washington you know was falling apart guy gets injured

They got to call the timeout gives some time on the clock but yeah a lot of people how many people actually watched it or had to catch up on the highlights cuz I’d be honest I was in and out I I I was falling asleep too and I opened up

The phone to see the end of it and I just saw it on like a box score like a live update cuz I just I couldn’t make it anymore man uh wward sports.com chat thread jump into there um DNC ENT Neil literally said on Thursday beat Bama and

I’m shutting up well that’s funny DNC ENT cuz I wasn’t here on Thursday it was Wednesday it was Wednesday you did say B bam and I’ll shut up but it’s fair hey hats off the Michigan fans man hats off you guys deserve it you guys deserve

Your Victory Victory lap run the W won the Rose bow run the wose bow beat AMA did what you need to do now you’re win away from an edti so heads off to you guys I still hate you but you deserve to have you deserve to gloat you deserve to

Have fun he did it respect Betty yeah I still respect and and and broer broer brings it up in here and and it’s true because for for the most part I I think I’m and and I and I guess I’m you know being Canadian I’m a fan of all Michigan

Sports but I have always said that for to me the progress of winning the robes bow a winning beating the SCC getting to the finals shows it but that’s not good enough for Michigan fans cuz I don’t see them resting on their Laurels it’s n

Natty or bust and 100% that’s the way it has to be so so hats off to all you Michigan fans you know it’s task at hand uh wward sports.com chat the good Senator just admit you are a [ __ ] that has a golden voice but not the brains to back it

Up that’s a little aggressive that is a little aggressive what’s your record get right uh we’re we are 50 52 and 21 okay so we we tend to be right and oh by the way we had Michigan in the game also of course of course 100% what did you say

Earlier emotional hedge emotional hedge that’s right we call that the brain The Head and the heartb yeah absolutely the had in the heart um but yeah uh wward sports.com Rich Diana Neil is an anti- Michigan he’s anti- arrogance and that’s you know that’s that’s fair um Ransom

Also Texas ran for 180 yards on washingt waston and still lost and and that’s true too and look guys like I saw this on ESPN and this I’m not having and if Spenny tried to do this I would shut it down uh like the whole the whole talk

About is the season tainted and all that stuff nope not not in the least man because what do we what do we say dmac at some point you got to get in the weeds too if you want to do that I Comm I commend him for doing it and and

What’s the thing you don’t hear about right there’s nothing no talk this morning or whatever I saw one little tweet about oh then somebody was saying it like out of the side of their mouth there oh I guess Michigan hadot Alabama’s Playbook right but we don’t hear anything about any scam because you

Went and you got it done against what arguably the best coach ever in college football you know out there on the Mount Rushmore Nick sa I do have the flannel s that you weren’t F awful you know why hey and I’ll tell you this you’re welcome all you Michigan fans because I

Know the little thing about Karma I left the live stream but I cannot come on man the worst the guy’s had all his life like oh Jesus NE guys am I right or am I wrong there was a lot of em through flannel runs off pure emotion I

Will give it to him flannel runs off pure emotion he just kind of lets his body flail I’m not going to I’m not going to critique the man you know I I would probably lose my mind too if it happened so can can we are we able to

Get a slow-mo of that hold so spny put the C how do I so if he’s going to celebrate right I like it he went sort of Roman Reigns like this but you got to pow it down you got to show the power that you own it you don’t go

Woo he looked like one of those wavy things out by the cell phone The Wacky Waving pH fing Tube Man God dang it’s flannel you got to improve for next week bro seriously I’m glad I’m glad I could help dude Neil like like seriously was there

An end of the game Sy uh yeah no I it can’t be better than that no it’s not better than that so can I can Spenny can I see it one more time please please please can I see that one more time baby he’s excited man he is excited live your best

Everybody had a great holiday celebration but the Grim reality is it’s over it’s back to work now and here we go um and we won’t see the sun again today’s you know we got the Sun a little bit we won’t see it again though until

April this is what it is and there’s one more college football game left and that is sad but for Michigan fans they are happy let me tell you who wasn’t happy on Saturday night and dmac I’ll start with me cuz I told you before the show

So I I was away for work we were we were in Youngstown big win over Youngstown by the way on the road Sunday Saturday night we’re at the hotel bar in the Marriott in Youngstown locked in I was locked into the game and it was when you work in this business sometimes this

Gets taken away from you where you get to be 100% emotionally invested and be a a fan like a Flatout fan and dmax Saturday night I was locked in and I can’t describe I can’t describe the feeling I had at the end of that football game and

Look there there’s all kinds of subsets that we can get into the game itself but I will say this we all know what happened we all know the Detroit Lions won the football game they did I saw it a lot like Reggie Bush winning the

Heisman I saw it you can never you can never take that away they won that football game period end of story now it doesn’t count in the standings and dmac to to have that ripped away that shook me to the core dmac as a fan that I have

Not been shooken to in a very very long time and and dmac I I know everyone’s going to talk about and I know how you are and this is where you have the advantage because you’re an ex-professional athlete you have that ability to where you can say all right

We go back to work today we move on I will not be able to move on from this for a couple days I will not this is like now that sort of the like the smoke settled and everything like that I believe that this is the greatest blessing what usually happens and and

Let’s go back to other games right let’s go back to the LA the other Dallas game the playoffs pass interference stuff like that right arguable you could say well it’s your Lions fandom and it could go this way what happened on Saturday night being the only game in front of

The whole world watching that is we saw the Detroit Lions get screwed so if anybody doesn’t know so or if they think to whatever else this is worldwide if I’m Dan Campbell after what’s your reaction going into the dressing room how do you address your team after the

Game you know how I walk in and address the team I look around the room to everybody who’s who’s so pissed off because this is a vulnerable truth with Integrity when you’re talking about rules and how you supposedly done it everything right and if I’m Dan Campbell I just look and go

It’s the only way they can get us boys and I laugh and I laugh and I go because everybody else saw it I mentioned to you earlier you got skip bis and Shannon sharp two guys in this media world that through threw away millions of dollars

On a TV show cuz they hate each other agreeing skip bis being the biggest cowboy Slappy maybe out there right so we just got to be quiet you got to let your your play speak for yourself now you let that burn and you know that it is Detroit versus everybody Detroit

Versus the whole world to whatever else right there’s nothing you can do about it except laugh the beauty of it Neil is thank God it happened in a game right that the biggest thing was that it might have cost you another um the number two seed right this is just going to

Motivate your players and and the one thing that I I told you when I came in and have we heard from Sheila at all no because I thought this would be the perfect time for Sheila to come out and just sort of have everybody’s back but just like they

Say Hey you used to do this to my dad and he used to do this but this ain’t the same old lines right we aren’t the same old lines you’re going to operate us with respect and I I mean as far as I would I would love if she called Jerry

Jones out for a death match in the middle of AT&T Stadium I’d be there for her but again I digress but the fact is like this would be a perfect time for her to come out and and say something because Jerry Jones comes out and says something stupid like oh that was the

Best officiated game and stuff like this yeah that was so trash so trash but here’s the thing Neil on that front look at the NFL right as far as they’ll never admit their mistake but they you know now they go and downgrade this this uh Brad

Allard Who’s the who is the referee that messed it up the last thing I’m going to say in this the thing that bothers me the most right I can understand if it’s if it’s something where he messes up because the guy’s reporting on the field and stuff like this but Dan Campbell and

You told me that this happens in all sports and whatever if you’re going to do a trick play or something you’ve told the ref exactly what’s going to happen if we have a two-point conversion and we go to this formation it’s Decker is going to look for this so he’s already

Had that this is so to me it’s negligence and of Integrity of the game and and that’s it Integrity of the game is why you have a pro so yeah it bothers me but the whole thing is is that I think with this regime and everything that’s happened to Dan Campbell and the

What they preach right every look at every post game right you’re resilient man you fight through it I mean you’re a heck of a team I mean you play for each other no better time than now so this will Galvanize him deal I don’t take I

Don’t take any comfort in that dmac I don’t and Jake Wagner I want to address this one here I thought Neil you were a never put it on the ref’s mistakes you should have overcome no no no Jake cuz here’s the difference this isn’t a mistake this is incompetence at your job

That’s what’s different about it it’s not a mistake it’s not it’s not doing your job that’s that’s my problem with it because the Lions did everything right and because of the incompetence of one person they get penalized for it that’s the thing that hurts me because

At this level in this game and look I know how we are as a society right now like we we beg for accountability until it’s us that makes a mistake then we ask for forgiveness at that level no that’s the ultimate level in in the world in

The game of football you can we can’t have that you can’t have that you can’t have that mistake from somebody can’t have it and if you do you’re not you are not able to do that job I’m sorry and my problem with all this is very very simple in college sports last night

Alabama football players have to go to a microphone and explain what happened Texas football players have to go to a microphone kids a freshman a 19-year-old freshman has to sit there and face the world and this referee this NFL referee gets to hide and not have to account and

Not have to say this is what happened and then the the League’s not going to come out and say hey that’s an egregious mistake we can’t have it sorry we’re moving on from this guy no no no no no we ask a 19-year-old kid to do this in

Sports and a grown man gets to hide that’s my problem with it Jake that’s my problem it’s not a ref’s mistake it’s incompetence at what you do that’s the difference in this and that’s why I’m angry about it and I will not let it go

And DM going back to what you just said here’s my problem I I agree right and I even said this in a tweet Saturday night I feel better about the Detroit Lions now as a team than I did at 8:14 p.m. Saturday night that’s fine but here’s a difference that’s an eight-point swing

When they play that game right now look at what the line will be and think about what the line would be if they played it at Ford Field that’s a touchdown in the NFL and the NFL is it’s hard to overcome it’s a one-score league right right it’s

Hard to overcome that it just is there are far longlasting implications to this that will NE that will never sit with me I watched them win that game dmac I watched them win it I watched them win it and because someone’s incompetent at what they do they get marked for a loss

For it and that will never sit with me ever there’s a difference between the human error of making a call whether it’s a holding or a passing I mean you can break down you can break down you should have been a pass interference calling on Mon stre Brown you know

Before that a whole that that’s the the diligence you’re talking but you’re talking about integrity pretty much what you’re saying is that if this referee was a doctor people would have died because of his incompetence and I’m not saying it’s life or death that’s the gravit toss if

You’re saying about being accountable to your job this is accountability to your job like the structure of the game loose it’s the same thing as we talk about you know loose uh not loose ball fouls but you know before the uh penalties before the ball snapped the referees can’t make

That penalty just like when we can’t go out you know illegal formation or stuff like this it’s because it’s the incompetence and then the fact that you don’t have to be accountable Neil that’s that’s that’s what hurts but again like you said is it going to how’s it going

To affect Allan Park and these Detroit Lions I feel the same way as you do this they’re they’re stronger as a team even more so than they were going into that game no and and that’s and that’s where it was and that’s what was going through

My veins at the end of that football game on Saturday and when we come back I do want to get into the game stuff I do because there were some things I saw I want to talk about the decision making process I want to talk about the end of

The game I want to talk about the scenarios I got a question for Spenny when we come this this this is deep everybody we’re we’re going deep into this one and then also too you know the the playoff Fallout and everything like that cuz there is a part of me that

Likes the road now that that backs up to your point I do kind of like the way it looks like it’s going to go down and we’re going to talk about that when we come back but after I tell you about Hamlin Pub I’m sure some of you were out

Energy Woodward Sports Network Neil Rule and dmac and Spencer raxter and of course we have big Mike Gentry um lone spoon 77 Neil not saying much about Michigan winning because he’s too busy moving the gold post no Lon spoon we went over that already uh because Neil don’t want to be wrong

About Michigan being the best best all right you know what hey let me congratulate you guys on your National Championship you won yesterday congratulations uh when do the t-shirts go on sale Mike Gentry uh the rose bow ones no no the national champ they won the national title yesterday uh they’ll probably be

On sale next week really why they waiting so long they won The Natty yesterday they’re missing an opportunity they I think they just want some credit for beating Alabama after he said Michigan’s not SEC good okay credit for beating Alabama all right you got to finish the job oh

That’s fair and i’ I’ve always said that you got to finish the job or guess what you’re the second best team in the Big 10 they’ll finish they’ll finish just like I said they’ll finish against Alabama okay remember last time y’all played Michael Pennock different times I’m just saying quarterback I’m

Not sing different defense that defensive line looked pretty damn good against B and and and their secondary listen and their secondary the one thing that I like in like going into the game is that what do we know about Milroy he can’t throw short but he can throw deep

And every time he threw deep even at the end when it was uh the third and 14 in overtime there’s a blue jersey right there they can run with them and stuff like this I know Washington’s got three NFL uh draft eligible wide receivers and Michael pennis is is Wheeling it but I

Like where we’re at I think that Michigan matches up oh yeah they’re five favorite right but but Spenny you saw and I think that you know hats off to Jesse mener we saw we saw some of that NFL experience in some of those schemes so um they know that they have to get

After Panic they know that Panic gets salled as quick as anybody yeah so but I I like the athletic ability and and the speed and what I saw from Michigan on defense that they can match up against them so like get the job done so you think

Five is where it should be at I’m surprised it’s not a little high I think it will be by the time they kick it off I think it’ll get higher probably go up a couple points I would imagine it closing around six somewhere around six that’s that’s where I think uh trat Neil

Last time played Michigan played Washington they destroyed them right that team that lost to Montana at home that Washington team that then fired their coach and and and well by the way where’s uh where’s kayin dor from I don’t know is that a loaded question no oh where’s he from

Um I’m sorry Washington’s coach not not kayin dor I’m sorry why am I why am I spacing out on it Washington’s head coach yeah I have no idea it is let me see yeah kayin dbor where where did he come from by the way I have no Alabama Mountain West Fresno

Fresno oh wow bringing it so there’s always Mountain West in there somewhere little sprinkled flavor you know that’s what I’m saying Mountain West stand up represent so so there is that one as well um but yeah we are we’re talking Detroit Lions right now and uh I gave my

Diet tribe on it subscribe to the podcast if you want to go back I got a Kevin Hill uh I don’t remember senior Woodward sports.com chat but thanks for joining us uh this is the one thing and and I’m wondering this too because everything’s miked right that and he

Says head official is miked where’s the audio evidence release the audio will it come out NFL films you know they have everything miked and audio and stuff is at any point do you think that it will come out cuz I don’t you know that they have it oh it’s

Not coming out no it but it won’t you for those tapes to get to cover their own ass they’re going to make sure that doesn’t get out th those have been mutilated I I made the joke you should I don’t know if it’s a joke but check uh

Uh Brad Allard the ref’s bank account see if we got a Don situation no but uh okay so again we we kind of spoke the piece on that I do want to talk about uh the game itself right and one of the reasons that I said that I felt better about the

Lions at 12:30 a.m. on Saturday then I did at 8:14 p.m. on Saturday was because if you look at what happened to them and you know the Cowboys popping the big play getting the 90 plus yard touchdown and it was right there for Derek barn and it slipped through his

Fingers and he and he didn’t you know he wasn’t able to make the play fighting going through all that on the road against Dallas and then having the football under two minutes to go having to have a touchdown and then going down and getting it dmac there there’s

There’s nothing else you can say about the Lions team they W in Kansas City Dallas is is maybe the the toughest environment to play on in the road in the NFL right now the record dictates it they’ve won what 16 in a row or whatever

It is and they won there too don’t get it twisted they won there but they went down the field and did what they had to do dmac I I have I have even more Resolve about this Lions team now than I did early in the season did I did

Tuesday then I did Saturday before they kicked off the football dmac I and I don’t know if this is aemotion or what but they they they showed me more resilience they show me the ability to do it there isn’t a tougher environment to do that in than what they did no it’s

It’s the resilience that they showed and I I’m watching the chat thread you know golf two interception golf suck guys if other teams get pressure on your quarterback he’s not going to be good but when you protect him right and you scheme and at the end of the day isn’t

This the league about just get it done at the right spots so I’m looking at it do I think Jared G will clean it up right the next next game’s at home first playoff games at home he’s got to clean it up are we is anybody here think that

J GF can play the same and I be successful or does he have to be better and better by not turning the ball over better by protecting the ball and right exactly that’s the jarro go that we need but still you look at it in that environment what do you

Expect that stuff’s going to happen they’re going to have breakdowns and you know unfortunately but they were able to still be in the game and give themsel an opportunity to win when they needed to score at the most important time they did right they did I mean here’s the

Thing is anybody and I see a couple people talking about it but no one’s pissed off that they continue to go for two even after the penalty and then the offside and stuff like that right I I see a couple people say oh they should have kicked the field goal go to

Overtime no foot on the gas foot on the gas you know what and yes arguably a better throw or a half a second um half a second more Mitchell catches that you know the pass is On Target but but it’s something that these when you try these things but the

Resiliency that you don’t go away and the fact that you don’t fold your tent and the fact that you have two interceptions early and it doesn’t look good that you’re able to find a way that’s what you want that’s what the NFL is all about look at the best

Quarterbacks in this league are we consider the best quarterbacks in this league do they not struggle at different times but find a way to to win that’s what we have here and that’s what we got to hope so yes golf has to be has to be

Better he’s got you know he’s one of the guys that has to have if he has a if he’s like Flawless or has an impeccable game where we’re saying oh he was great what usually happens we win and Spenny that’s that’s where I go to you did it

Show you something did it show you something I mean we’ve seen gof do it before he went down the field against Chicago when you needed him and he went and twice to score and win the game and he did it against the Cowboys he drove

Them down the field got him in the end zone got the extra or got the two-point conversion they won the game so we’ll see what happens but I mean I still don’t like the two interceptions those were I I did say it on the stream like I could just completely blame Goff for

Those cuz both of the throws could have been to the sideline more but they made great defensive plays on those balls they were behind the receivers but the quarterbacks both made great plays to go out there and get those interceptions but yeah it’s we’ll we’ll see what happens going forward but he’s proven

That he can take the team down the field and punch it in the end zone when they need to and that’s fair and you’re a reasonable man yeah we’re supposed to argue here Spenny no I mean he did it like I said did it against Chicago did it against Dallas so

Hopefully he can do it if they need to in the playoffs uh catspot says uh Dallas is not a tough environment well I mean you know 15 teams in a row couldn’t win there and there’s added things that you go up against when you’re in Dallas and

All that stuff you know there there’s other things that you uh there’s other there’s other things that you uh like here here’s the whole thing and I and I see it a little bit about you know when we got the penalty and pushed back to

The eight like D DNC and we should have taken it and gone to overtime do you not think that Dan Campbell sitting on the sideline with Aaron Glenn going we can’t go to overtime because we have no way to stop CD lamb so would you have rather them like maybe that’s the question

Would you rather them kick the field goal and then taking their chances in overtime because I don’t think in that situation on the road where if you lose the worst case is that you might not get the two seed but you still have home field advantage I think that that’s

That’s the gamble that you’re taking Steve O baby Neil I’m sorry but I’m getting sick and tired of people blaming the refs in a loss is a loss people should be happy the lions are in the playoffs well Steve OAB they were already in the playoffs before this went

Down yeah that was already locked in and they did the job and yes referee incompetence not not a mistake incompetence an inability to do your job correctly and right we all want accountability right that’s what we say on social media all the time we all want accountability where’s the

Accountability and Steve obaby that’s that’s what’s really got me going here about this there’s no accountability again we ask a 19-year-old kid in college sports to stand in front of the world and you get to say what happened tell us what happened why did you make that

Mistake Chris Weber going back to the Fab Five Chris Weber had to sit there on that stage after we called a timeout they didn’t have and basically lost his team the game Chris Weber had to sit on that stage and answer where’s the referee where’s the accountability he’s a grown man here’s

The question right does this finally does this does this the straw that breaks the camels back to officially hire cuz because they’re part-time guys the league that the the sport that controls the world this country right this I can’t say the world because soccer’s bigger right over in Europe but

This but for argument sake that do not have referees as employees they’re part-timers so where’s the accountability there does this move the needle at all or a conversation to finally get them fulltime no no I don’t I dmac I don’t even care about that an NFL referee makes about 200 Grand a year

You make about 12 Grand per game you make about 200 Grand a year how about you just have to be good good in order to continue doing it how about that again where is the accountability you’re clearly not good at what you do I’m sorry it sucks I hate to do this but

Here’s the tape of you not being good enough to do this at this level sorry go to the mhsaa we’ll see you we’ll see you at Madison Heights High School next season Madison popped us my senior year damn damn damn yeah was bad probably 30 it’s tough that’s tough man sorry sorry to

Sports.com chap 3 I jump into their burn it’s worse because this crew has botched several calls this season exactly the one silver lining is that we got them kicked out of the playoffs yeah that is true yeah but you know [ __ ] those bombs doesn’t help Brad Allen should be ashamed of

Himself [ __ ] Los that’s the accountability right it’s like but that’s what makes it worse when you don’t think you did something wrong or you know what I’m saying and you’re holding to it it’s like come on dude Joel Lowry I do want to say this

Too uh you know what I really liked what I saw about the Lions defense cuz we we talked about this I brought this up a couple weeks ago remember when they we were talking about the blitzes are never getting home and then they kind of changed up to more

Exotic BL Blitz packages where they’re bringing in safeties they were bringing in corners and it really hit the Broncos out of left field I like the way two on Saturday night they moved Hutchinson around I don’t know if you caught this at all but they brought him from the

Inside they changed locations where he was going to be at and and they really they really got exotic with stunts you know Aaron Glenn really has has emptied out the has emptied out the Playbook defensively he is like people say where are the adjustments what are you changing something’s got to change that

Was the other angle about it I I felt further solidified about Jared G because of what he did I felt a lot better even as good as I felt about that Lions defense on Saturday yeah no I mean they’re and that’s that’s what you want right where that’s sort of been not the

Ailles heel but the question mark all year and and it seems like they’re getting stronger obviously anytime you know Hutch gets home you know three times or stuff like this but I like the way that they they were using them so hopefully what it showed is is something

New maybe uh some new wrinkles um that they they can put in uh moving forward but uh yeah you got it everybody should be happy with the way that the defense other than I mean elf in the room right which I hope uh CJ Gardner Johnson coming back will help and stuff like

This but we we CD lamb went off right you know what CD lamb went off do you have the answer for that number one receiver on the other team no matter who CD Lamb’s a star man he get first Fantasy Draft he’s a good player he’s

One of the ones that you you have to contain and and you know you still gave up 200 and some yards to him and arguably should have won the game yeah he’s I mean he’s a star dude flat out so so you’re going to make adjustments to that but you’re going to

Accept that when everything else is sort of working so I I like the fact that it they you know we’re not resting on our Laurels right Aaron Glenn trying new things moving Hutch around and it seemed to work Ward sports.com chat thread Chuck Brewer says Neil is it possible

That the kids are now getting versed enough in the defense that AG can now do things like this and Chuck that’s a great point and I I told you guys a couple weeks ago that you know we were talking about the J thing and I should have been smarter than this I should

Have been able to see this coming where we saw it with jir Gibbs we see the same Playbook all the time do we not we saw it with Jamir Gibbs we see we’ve seen it with Jameson Williams and Chuck why would that be any different defensively that’s that’s a great question you ask

Because I think there is something to that that the Lions bring bring their rookies in Along on almost like a plan it seems like and it’s never enough for us because we always want to see it more we always want to see more of them we

Want to see it right away but that’s not reality that’s not the way reality Works especially in the NFL you see this a lot in the NHL dmac where you know you you look at like a Conor Bard who is coming along and you see flashes of it all the

Time and in two years years he’s going to be a problem in the NHL if you’re talking about a young guy like a Jack Hughes you see the the the Evolve and and it’s it’s a younger players game too and and a lot of times too when let’s

Let’s look back right these are all of these guys right we mentioned with Brad Holmes find their way into the lineup but there’s a game plan and the game plan is for now right it all plays out and Dan Dan Campbell pretty much has come out and said that right CU they got

To earn the trust and they got to do it first in practice and become part of the herd and and you know to jir Gibbs uh when was his coming out party when we needed it the most when David Montgomery was down so you know what I think that

They’re coming into their own both offensively and defensively like all together like you got to sort of like what you see now the biggest question mark right is protecting your quarterback and giving him you know that opportunity to make if if he can make the play and doesn’t have to step up and

Move around and stuff like that you got a great chance to win yeah Graham glasgow’s had a rough run lately Spenny M he’s he’s had some rough moments out there Jonah Jackson Jonah Jonah had a bad game yes so did Taylor Decker yeah it it wasn’t very clean but through all

That though inside two minutes to go they went right down the field and got a two-point conversion and got the win they did I watched it no they got you can say they got the two-point conversion and lost I watched it I it’s like Reggie Bush with the Heisman Reggie Bush still

Got the Heisman I watched it reg I I watched it happen but no I Chuck getting back to it though that’s on us like we should see that that’s the Playbook and when you boil it all down that’s why the lions are good now and they were shitty

Before because they have they take players in the draft they have a plan they work the plan and they develop their rookies to the point where they contribute it’s a really wild formula and I’m it’s still taking time for us to adjust to it I think well is that that

What we’re seeing too with the development like you know on defense you know more and more like the Jack Campbell you know making you know making like the development right there is development that and that’s that’s something too right so not only winning and coaching but this coaching staff is

Developing these football players are they not like is there is there regression you know I’m sure you can you pick on a pick on a couple players because there’s always a couple that either Peter off or Plateau but for the most part you look at the young guys and

The guys that we’re talking about the guys that are supposed to step up in key moments they’re getting the job done Todd Saint says Decker has to have some nagging injury they all do like at this point they all do yeah they’re probably at the most 80% how healthy were you at

The end of February in the NH in an NHL season if you played the whole time yeah you know um 85 maybe yeah you’re going to the playoffs probably around if you can be 90% you’re kill you’re killing it but you’re usually cuz usually dude and that’s why you don’t report

Injuries but as a team you go to the finals you know and and so it’s a little bit different also too because you look at for the the way that we were we went to the finals I mean I think Nick lrom played 400 and some games over four

Seasons including exhibition and stuff like you know what I mean that’s just a unbelievable ton of games right so it’s just more the the wear and tear and that’s where that’s where it’s so important to know what you need to be ready to play the game and I think

That’s what we’re getting to with these guys wward sports.com chat thread uh I see catspot talking about a a bad game plan from the defense that you know only gave up 20 points to Dallas with a 92 yard touchdown pass in the mix in that

Too you hel you held the team to 20 points in a place where they’ve won 15 games in a row and averaged 30 plus yeah your defensive game plan was good that’s come on catspot like let’s live in reality here my guy like there there’s

No there’s no other way to say that uh lunchbox Hooligans hey Neil Su had Parsons in a foam Booth again and that that was my why I had to move him against Decker that was my one regret that I couldn’t like lock in and I was

Going to ask you about this Benny do do we do we have the Spencer raxer Parson’s V report uh yeah he was in a bread bux and he’s talking [ __ ] and he scared and he ran away from him penny is the man yes he is yes he is

Hey I’ve been saying it for a month for a year now start doing in the gold jacket now stay out in front of inflation yesterday’s prices are not today’s prices as far as the gold jacket material is that dude is goated bro and he’s the one that changed it all he he

Flat out he was the one I don’t understand Brandon ks’s logic he’s lamb fumbled on the two yard line Dallas would have easily scored 27 yeah and Derek Barnes missed a safety Dallas easily wouldn’t have scored that touchdown and Detroit would add two more points so if if some buts was candies

And nuts we all have My Grandmother Had Wheels she would have been a bike I had balls she’d be my own it’s not what happened man AB absolutely uh Jay singles pan got in his head you could tell yeah he did P

Su I love it so like I I know we got to go to break we’re going to talk about but you know my question is is that if put yourself in that locker room as one of those players any one of those players come back like how are you

Feeling going into practice this week and coming back and whatever once you get that pissed off you almost feel Invincible you almost feel like Invincible because of what you sort of did accomplish and you know what it was only that those factors that could could

Do it like I I guarantee and it’ll be interesting because you know and I see broer in the chat but what’s the vibe at practice is it you know going to the last game of the season and it’s a home game and stuff like this is there this

Pissed off mentality like like they’re go no well but but it’s you don’t have to you don’t have to force it you can feel you’ll be able to feel that Vibe at practice when it’s there these guys are like there’s a different kind of pissed off Neil does that make sense like like

This confidence like almost invincibility to the fact that you’re Teflon that how can I get hurt even more than what just happened Neil Ru here for Planet Fitness we’re live at the Planet Fitness Studios as you guys know it’s home the Judgment free zone where anyone

Today to I’m good I woke up yesterday I’m I’m ready man I’ve got controlled Fury and uh I’m ready to go I am I’m absolutely ready to go I don’t go the other way so and the team won’t either uh we’re on a mission and uh we’re not

Going to uh we’re not going to feel sorry for ourselves and wer and everything we had plays to make we didn’t make them and uh it’s a tight game a good opponent playoff type atmosphere and you got to make that that one extra play that we didn’t and uh so

We will use this as fuel I got Pure octane right now I woke up I’m ready so we’re moving forward let’s go that reminds me of somebody I know I’m out we’re TI oh this day off today they lucky down there let’s go coming up on the second hour of

The show Big D energy Woodward Sports Network Neil rule Darren mccardy uh Big Mike Gentry Spencer raer as well and of course that was Dan Campbell and it it does seem pretty simple and look I’m not ready to move on yet and if you missed that uh subscribe to the Big D energy

Podcast you can go back I I have my diet tribe about the whole referee situation I have a feeling you’ll be able to see it on the Woodward Sports social media Outlets later on as well but but I’m not the coach and Dan Campbell is and you

Know dmac it is that’s the difference I was talking to you about earlier you’re an ex-professional athlete you Dan Campbell obviously an NFL coach this is your DNA this is where you live I’ve always commented on that you never blame officials you never do and that’s something where like when I’ve talked

With brillan Edwards the same way he knows the score you know what in this case though this is different because it’s incompetence it’s not it’s not I missed the call or I I didn’t see it the same way and that’s where it’s extra for me that that’s why be my heart virtue

Which makes me tick everybody has a heart virtue which makes them tick mine is and through four rehabs and everything I realize my vulnerable truth with Integrity that is why it pisses me off because that’s a vulnerable Truth where it’s the logistics behind the play that the incompetence of doing your job

Not your opinion right where I can accept it as a player when you say I didn’t see it or I missed it or whatever like that or I didn’t see it that way oh the guy got his stick up he didn’t hit you or it was intentional I’m not

Calling it right you have to accept those things as the game goes on this wasn’t as the game was going on and the preparation involved like I said the biggest thing as I get upset is because Dan Campbell told you before the game what exactly would happen right so there should not be

Any communication breakdown or incompetence to a dead ball that’s the biggest thing so I do have a problem this time why I don’t have a problem is because I got controled Fury too and the coach and everybody else moving forward and the and you know what we don’t have

To say anything about the rest of the league rest of the world everybody else who watched Saturday night NFL game the only game that’s s oh wow maybe what Detroit’s talking about you know yeah they they did get screwed and maybe you know in the past maybe it is something

Like that they are the they are the doormat of the league but not anymore so control of Fury is something that I that I love to hear I believe everything that that man says as far as my team or we don’t go backwards and you know what look at the accountability we didn’t

Make those plays we didn’t make enough plays right if if we make that play at the end and Stafford makes that pass to Mitchell which which was a great play call just a lack of execution then we’re not even talking about this and probably the refs get off the hook and you

Probably have to face them again in the playoffs so uh dude there’s your commanderin-chief and that’s everything as a player gets me fired up for and and because you know what what did he say we’re responsible for losing that’s a playoff team that’s a good team and whatever we didn’t make enough plays

They made one more of than nuts and we’re not making excuses uh wward sports.com chat through I get into their get your thoughts out there as well I do want to talk about the end of the game though and where I was watching the game uh for those of

You that missed it I was I was in Youngstown for work I was in a hotel bar at the Marriott there’s probably about 15 20 people in there watching the game couple you know us you know my contingent and then there was a few people who were Lions fans there as well

And I want I want to talk about the two-point thing specifically because as soon as they scored I kind of jumped up out of my seat and said go win the game go win the game right now now there there some of the other Lions fans that

Were in the room said no they wanted to kick the extra point and and take their chances in overtime and I said bro six feet to win the game if if I told you on Saturday on Saturday at noon I said tonight I’ll give you one play two yards

To win the game me and me and Boer said it on the uh the watch party we’re like What if they go down there and score they should go for two and then but then after that happened with with the rest and they got backed up and they got two

More chances I was like all right just kick the extra point like you got a chance just kick the extra point I dice on the coin I have no problem with it because he’s weighing if if he what it means to go in there on the road in

Dallas and like if you do execute in that it’s apples and oranges right I I go either way if he if he decided that okay um we are going to kick this but but I thought him and AG were like We Can’t Stop CD lamp so you know what this

Is our best chance six feet with our offense our offensive line being what it is I I I have no problem with the call yeah and and I I think I think in the playoffs he kicks it right I don’t know oh okay I don’t know either I don’t know okay all right

And I again I don’t have a and even if he doesn’t this is what got because people were feeling themselves about the fake punt right everybody loved it when it works you love it and when it doesn’t you hate it and look I thought going for

It from the seven and this is where you know I I pride myself on not giving into emotion and stuff like that on that one I kind of stepped into the analytics world and I was like seven I was like okay you say so you know what I you know

What I did when they went for it from the seven I didn’t like it per se I didn’t necessarily agree with it but I didn’t agree with jir Gibbs and Jack Campbell either and here we are listen I’m rolling with Dan Campbell good bad right wrong or different and here’s the

Whole thing you want to go back and somebody bring up the fourth down uh going for it execution because it’s not clicking at the same rate as it was either last year or earlier in this year so if you have that question mark but again I’m all in with what he wants to

Do because this is his team these are his guys they’re all in it they’re going wherever he does so we have to we have to be comfortable being uncomfortable in those situations right I’m I might not agree with it or wonder why he’s going to do it but he’s consistent so

Hopefully you know you know what it it it we can just execute how about Hutch though we haven’t talked about that yet yeah but but they got him mixed around too you know bringing them from inside I I know I noticed this too is I noticed

This too and it was brought up in the chat thread like Bruce irin got in there a couple Hutch gets the quarterback on the ground like are we seeing something where some of these you know other guys that are like when you plug a brw servant in he’s not going to play so

Many downs but when you do it and he can let hutch go off or whoever else right we’re waiting on Houston to come back you know and Houston that definely so so there you go but they’re they’re finding a way to step it up and at the end of

The day what do we say how can you how can you argue you know what do we it’s not pressures it’s sacks now so he’s getting there right I mean in the biggest spot of the and that’s and look like CU I had a couple friends text me

They’re like oh you know what what are you saying about Hutch now no I was right like we needed more and when we got more what happened they won in Dallas I know they didn’t but they did they did win in Dallas but um no it it

Is it’s for me I didn’t like it I didn’t like going for the two from the seven but I understand it and here’s why like the people that are just like pounding the table saying what is he doing I can’t believe this this is reckless those are the same people right were we

Have we not spent an entire weekend complaining about the officiating especially in Dallas like how much more data do you need take it out of their hands put it on you go make the play and go win the game which they did and they did but they didn’t but

Still though with all that being said what it’s what BMG it’s true it is true very true but that’s I I do I will stand by him with what he does the fake punts the going forward on fourth down I will tell you this too the going forward on fourth down thing since

He’s been here they are a plus they are at a plus rate in points going for it versus not going for it the kicking field goal going for it versus kicking field goals and stuff like that if you want to assume that every field goal is

Made that they passed up on I guarantee you this they are at a they are operating at a plus overall in points from him doing it and that’s all I’ve ever asked for I wanted the Lions to do two things those are rookie numbers you need to pump those numbers up Pump those

Numbers up um I wanted the Lions to do two things number one draft good players that’s what I wanted them to do they started doing that then number two I wanted them to start having a more analytically driven game plan and they do possession of the football is the most important

Thing in the NFL and they’ve done it and I feel those are two reasons why they’re a good football team and they used to suck no absolutely taking care of the little things and uh DNC an brings up a great stat in the last two years 22 and

23 Hutch has five sacks in two games against Dallas so Big Time moments bring that again bring that again bring it again absolutely is anybody lowkey before we go to the break is anybody looking at that Dallas at Washington game going this would be so Cowboys if they lost that game like

Like I think I know there are 14-point favorite Jesus a 13 and a half Point favorite but deep down they’re not they’re not a 13 and a half Point favorite in my mind in that game I I mean d or Washington’s what up like let let up like 70 sacks this year like

They’re going to they’re going to destroy it’s in Washington too they’re going to destroy the dur yeah they’ll probably lose I just I got a weird feeling about that game get right Washington Washington money money line 4 to one Jesus we gave you a 4 to one we gave you

Have to do this because there is only five what 5 days left to the NFL season regular season damn that sucks we’re closing the door [ __ ] coming up I know but Spenny it goes 0 to 100 real quick that’s true that is true you got to get

Out of that frame of mind Spenny that’s an old lion fan frame of mind that’s true we got we got to get comfortable with this it still sucks football’s almost over you you know what Saturday night real quick before I get the the playoff thing you know what Saturday night showed me

Dmac but I got to figure it out I have to do a better job I don’t know that I’m emotionally ready to sit there and watch a playoff game we literally only have a month you let your cuz you cuz here’s the thing Neil you’re you’re always so busy so

You’re like your fandom right doesn’t get to be released as well so the fact that it was Saturday night I’m sure you had a few Libations you let your guard down and then you were totally in so you’ve opened that part of your psyche up of your fandom so you now you know

That he cracked into it but your self-awareness too is that it’s tough I go through it I see it every week here in the live stream it’s GNA ab and flow every Lion’s game abs and flows where you want to jump off the bridge at some

Point but you stick to it and that’s where things are different and you just got to trust the process so dude you’re in it can we can’t get back out of it Spenny are you emotionally ready to handle a lions playoff game yes or no yep do you think you are

No this if people are being honest which they won’t be but if people are being honest this should be 100 to zero No it should be we’ve never had this much on the line I and Saturday realistically there wasn’t there was like a lot on the line you know like as

Far as a two seed and stuff like that but there but there was a floor the like if the trap door open you would just fall 2 feet and land on your feet and be like Oh okay that’s it hey you weren’t getting hurt there’s no net like in two

Weeks right we’re walk in the Highwire with no net oh my like my I’m getting Goosebumps thinking about that right now yeah because you’re putting yourself in the conversation where you’ve always wanted to be and that’s in the playoffs and that’s hosting a home game and

That’s because you know you have a good team and you have one of the better teams in the league and you got a team that can actually do something if they put it all together dude are you excited are you guys you guys you guys are freaking me out a

Little bit but I mean there’s no reason gra I’m excited you just can’t it sounds like and maybe that’s where people at do you not believe that we’re here was it all like all a dream it was no I dmac I’m excited and I’m confident and I’m scared

Yeah and I’m nervous you’re stoked and I’m stoked okay and I’m terrified let’s just get into it okay let let’s just get into it uh wward sports.com chat poll are you emotionally ready for to handle Alliance playoff game 66% of you say yes Spenny this is

The this is the the most you guys are liars for sure maybe they’re with me I’m stoked I’m so stoked I ain’t scared especially after what happened count listen you ever been punched in the face right that’s exactly punched in the face and kicked in the nuts at the

Same time that’s what happened to him last week I don’t know if that’s happened to me no no but what happened to the Lions yeah they got punched in the face and kicked in the nuts at the same time and you know what they’re still standing and you know what their

Mentality is that we can’t get [ __ ] any worse and you know what I’m going to sit there and I’m going to take everything it’s my responsibility why didn’t we win because I didn’t do enough whether it’s Jared gof whether it’s a play calling or whatever else this is

The greatest I love the I don’t love the fact that it happened but the fact that it did happen it happened to this group that’s like resilient that’s like you’re picking you know like you just picked a fight with four brothers in Detroit if you know the movie they ain’t backing

Down bro they’re coming at you you got Marky Wahlberg on the on the ice out in the middle of of freaking the Detroit River okay like that’s where we’re at that’s Dan Campbell and these guys so I don’t know what you’d want who else you’d want to lead you into this battle

Right I mean this this is to to me as as the athlete put myself in that locker room I mean you’re so you’re so excited because it’s almost you against the world and I’ve been there and and that’s why you don’t count and to accomplish that and to shove it up everybody’s ass

Is the greatest thing ever where I can go around and and absolutely well whatever I want right because I got now they’ve Dan Campbell should be preaching that you have that same opportunity T askask at hand but they won’t no not for one bit do I think they’re overlooking Minnesota and what

They can do at home this is sort of like the the statement game to tighten it up to be cleaner to get those jobs done to do those things things that he was talking about those little things I think it’s a perfect the perfect The Perfect Storm well dmac as we peruse

What the playoffs look like and this is a fun little bit that we’ve done here throughout this kind of playoff chase at at the floor of the lions are the three seed now they would need a 13-point underdog to to pop Dallas on the road to

Try to slide back in to that two seed but if things go the way that they that they should go according to according to the setup it’s pretty much set what it’s going to be you the Niners are are locked in they’re the one seed they got to buy the

Cowboys you figure they’ll be the two seed as long as they can win as a 13-point favorite Lions obviously will have the three Tampa Bay going to Carolina and playing Carolina if they win which they should they’re the four seed they’ll be the division champs the

Eagles will have to go to Tampa and play in the 4 five game the Rams are pretty much slotted into that six seed as it sits pretty much slotted depending on what happens behind them you have the Packers sitting there with the seven spot right now and they’re tied with

Seattle and New Orleans uh Green Bay does have the tie break over Seattle based on strength of Victory wins a tie break over New Orleans based on best winning percentage in conference games Seattle wins a tie break over New Orleans based on best win percentage in conference games but if the playoffs

Started today dmac and you know I talked about like being nervous and scared and excited and all of that it looks like I’m going to get what I asked for dmac and you’re going to get that times two because what you have to do you have to go and a good

Friend of mine told me this before the only way is through the only way out is through the only way out is through and they would have to go through Stafford and the Rams coming here to Ford Field in the opening round of the playoffs and

Then if they win that they will be going to Dallas to play the Cowboys again and you know what [ __ ] it let’s go so if that’s the pathway who who’s comfortable with that I am I am I I’m I want it I I I want it because you know obviously and

And that’s that’s the beauty of what just happened last weekend so yeah I want all this smoke about you know and it appropo that you know Matt Stafford’s first playoff game will be on the road in Detroit and we can hand it to them so

I’m fine with it I have no no problem and and they’re playing good right now now yeah you know one of one of the better better teams playing in the league with the record and stuff like that put themselves in this position but I don’t think it matters and sometimes

Like this is this is give me the smoke bring it let’s go and and and that’s why what happened to you last weekend right you’re sort of imp impervious to how bad can it get right that’s the worst that it can get so I I like the matchup I like the fact that

I like it for the fans I like it that at Ford Field you know because it’s going to be loud I I I like that pathway if you if you tell me right now that that’s put that in stone I’ll take it wward sports.com chat poll are you emotionally

Ready to handle a lions playoff game 68% of you said yes 67% of you are liars but uh that’s fine Spenny can we flash one real quick hey who you want to play in the playoffs Rams or Packers Packers I want to play the Rams

I want to play the Rams I want to put it all the bed the playoff thing the Stafford thing all of it I want to play the Rams and I want to win and I want to go to Dallas and and shoot my shot I’m with you that’s what I want

Dmac I’ve called for this for a while and this is what I want and to me I still think that that there’s you know what let me get this out too and I was going to save this till we saw what the matchup was but in advance and I’ll remind everybody next

Week if you’re somebody that wore a Detroit Rams shirt during the Rams playoff uh Chase to the Super Bowl do me a favor don’t buy tickets to the game let a real fan that was so let a real fan get to fordfield for a playoff game

If you wore a Detroit Ram shirt do the right thing and don’t take up a ticket for the Lions playoff game let real fan go in there and get it that’s my public service announcement I’ll remind you again next week Branson brings up a great point we’re talking about staer

Versus the Lions but this is an opportunity for Goff against his old team that sort of gave up on him no one’s talking about that one Ransom good good pull yeah no one’s talking about that one I do I want the Rams 70% of the PE 71% of the people say Rams

Wow that’s that’s impressive all right when we come back back it’s time to put people in the coffin it’s time for rest in peace when we return but first let me tell you guys it’s winter time we’re in the mix right now this is a El Nino winner though ELO

Raxter yes you in the corner Spencer raxter from Woodward Sports yes hello thank you thank you uh president Neil um I am going to rip Brad Allen’s bum ass and his thoughts of ever coming to the state of Michigan again you’re never getting back in within these [ __ ]

Walls man you’re you’re done you’re on the no flag list trick trick put you on there you’re never coming in this state again so I hope you don’t have any family here I hope you don’t have any plans visiting our wonderful Lakes are very Scenic forests don’t ever expect to

Come back to the state of Michigan Michigan again you bum you are Enemy Number One goodbye good day sir good Ren never come back to the state you [ __ ] bum rest in peace damn it was a good one though that one that one wasn’t like game related that that was personal

Strictly personal well it’s personal that little caveat too did you hear better made chips which originate in Detroit put out a statement that they will not ship to the state of Texas unless you can prove you have a Michigan ID H that’s what yeah that’s the kind of

Petty I’m here for that is that is when I heard that dude I thought I go wow is Neil running better me now that’ be awesome I’ll go next all right there we go and this isn’t okay because that’s the easiest like that’s the one that

Deserves to be put in the body bag and everything I agree 100% but I’m going to put this this is a walking towards the funeral and it’s not in there yet but I’m telling you this Detroit Red Wings entering this 2024 playing San Jose tonight big all across the NHL I mean I

Think that every team’s playing right they play 37 games this year which means they have 45 remaining these next 10 games make or break this te are the season this is the season right next 10 games and what do you need you’re probably still still in it at six and

Four but you have to go seven and three or better right out of these next 10 games you need 14 points out of these 20 points to put you back in the mix why you’re 12th right now and there’s but there’s your three points out of the playoffs but there’s six teams there

Right so so you just got to take care you got to take and this is a tough stretch you’re in San Jose tonight you got to go play the Kings you’re out west and stuff like this so right now is the Make It or Break It can I can I stay

Involved almost you know sort of like last year when they fought their way in this is the the biggest trip of the year so um they’re not in the coffin but you know what we could be making plans and it could be as soon as next week that they are so unfortunately that

Doesn’t at home to my clock but the clock is not dead please do not put my clock in your mouth um it’s and it’s something dmac that’s really bothered me how how this has gone and yesterday I was sitting around with the boys and we were watching the games and just we just

Kind of we were talking about the Pistons and I said man when the Pistons have a lead I’ve never seen leads of evaporate more quickly than they do with the Pistons and then my other buddy was like well the Red Wings I was like you’re right dude like Jesus man have

You seen a team that can be up for nothing that you I mean and it’s gone in like four minutes it’s wild and it always seems like there’s a short-handed goal that comes along with that too it’s never just like a good goal or something they’re always giving up some [ __ ]

That lets them back into the game you know maybe that’s we’ll get into it tomorrow remind me but I have I have something to bring to the table on that and maybe to the why or how when does it get fixed or how does it get fixed um yeah we’ll do that later

In the week for sure exactly like what are you looking for but but again what what are you talking about you can’t let four goals a game you know when the stat is if you score four goals you win and you don’t if you don’t you

Lose I mean that’s not a playoff team that’s not a winning team in this league I mean we all know that we had trouble keeping the puck out of the net I mean it’s great to be able to score but this to win in this league you need goal

Tending and we don’t have that right now unfortunately who you got in the coffin uh well you want to go BMG or you want me to go you go ahead man I’ll go I’m going a fast forward to Sunday night and this is a little early we talked about

It in the break I am rest in peacing the Miami Dolphins they are going to hand the division to the Buffalo Bills Red Hot Buffalo Bills they’ve won four in a row the Dolphins are banged up on defense they kept Bradley chub in when they were down 30 he ends up going out

For the season they lost Jaylen Phillips zav Howard isn’t going to be healthy for this game this is going to be a tough game for the bills even though or uh the Dolphins even though they’re at home and I have the Dolph or the bills taking

Over the division so rest in peace to the Dolphins now they they have their playoff spot clinched though the Dolphins are in the playoffs but yes the ship is taking on water there’s no thought even three weeks ago that the bills had a shot at the division you

Would have been crazy but now you want to hear wild Mike Gentry the Buffalo Bills can be the two seed in the AFC or they can be out of the playoffs yeah that’s all on the table this week huge Stakes for them it’s almost a playoff game pretty much it it it it’s

Incredible everything that’s that’s on the line for Buffalo like I said they lose they could be out of the playoffs and it’s very realistic because they don’t I believe they don’t own the tiebreaker over the Colts I believe they with a loss they would not own the tiebreaker over the Steelers or the

Texans what do you got uh I got some breaking news not well it’s it could be an Rip but but Isaiah bugs just tweeted uh thank you Detroit for amazing past year and um has been amazing from meeting new people playing with great teammates but the time has come for me

To say goodbye Detroit 96 out so making room for mcneel or CJ Gardner Johnson hon Houston I don’t know why he’d be the person you cut I don’t understand it’s just you know what there’s more going on in there because in and out of the lineup uh stuff like this you know he

Made himself sort of expendable there’s something there that we don’t we’re not privy to but you know I thought he did a good good job when he was in there you know what I’m saying big big he didn’t see ey to eye with somebody and somebody

Didn’t see eye to eye with him you’ve been around you and I have been around too many locker rooms I got think it’s a it’s somebody yeah it’s somebody somebody that’s got a little bit more power yeah absolutely I I I I would agree I would agree with that I I got

One that’s kind of out of the box everybody you ready for this one and I’m calling the shot too and this isn’t right now this is in the playoffs and it’s aggressive I understand it’s aggressive but I just got that feeling I just got that feeling rest in peace to

The Kansas City Chiefs winning a Super Bowl this year put it in the coffin they don’t look right they haven’t looked right they’re two and three over their last five momes doesn’t look Mercurial anymore and above all that they’re going to have to do something they don’t

Normally have to do they’re going to have to go on the road when things get tough they’re going to have to go to Buffalo this year perhaps if Buffalo wins that div believe they’re have to go to Baltimore on the road yeah I I do not

Buy in it doesn’t look right it hasn’t looked right and rest in peace to the Chiefs winning the Super Bowl I’m not saying momes sucks I’m not saying the franchise sucks in a vacuum this year rest in peace Kansas City Chiefs this season as far as winning the Super Bowl

Is concerned I don’t think they’re going to win a playoff game yeah I wouldn’t be stunned right right now who’s the best team in the NFL Ravens by far by far right Ravens Niners yeah Ravens Niners but you but in you know and I’ll back this up and I’ll be consistent about it

You know my feel and I love Lamar you guys know that I love Lamar I thought the Ravens we knew in the end the Ravens were going to give him this money cuz he’s a great player however that being said there are lots of consistencies with Lamar and Michigan to

Me the time has come where you got to go get this done and if you win an MVP again which they say he probably will this year if he wins another MVP you have to go do this because what’s the narrative if you don’t the FI you never

Cleared the final hurdle yeah you you you don’t even you haven’t even reached Aaron Rogers status yet you see what I’m saying get one like that’s that’s why I love the NFL playoffs because legacies are on the line and is that not the sort of what we’re waiting we know how great

Lamar is and but it’s like what can you do in the playoffs you got to get the final step now that’s that you’re in your second contract you’re a quarter billion dollar guy you’re a multiple time MVP it’s on you bro and I love you but those are the states think about

This right when he’s in that facility who does he have to look at that got it done before him in Baltimore Trent dfur Joe Flo Joe flacko Joe flacko right who gets a $2 million bonus by the way if the Browns win the Super Bowl okay but

But again with with other like so he’s still got he hasn’t reached that upper echelon right no with like the Flaco still he’s he’s got so he’s got to walk by time see this is one of those classic things where like Lamar with Joe Flo is one of those classic things where maybe

Nationally Lamar carries more weight but if you’re a Ravens fan you’re gonna you say Jo got it done Jo had one of the best postseasons of all time and that’s it right is is this more so to the Stafford need in the Super Bowl like is Lamar in into where Stafford was right

Now with the Rams he’s going to win his second MV so I think it would be a little p Stafford but okay no kind like you’re right but I’m just saying right so Josh Allen like you got to prove it now we know how good you are but this

Takes you to that next you know level Hall of Fame level or whatever else yeah right you need that Super Bowl CU right now you you’re gonna argue that Aaron Rogers career is better because he’s got one yeah oh for sure that’s the way it works that’s again that’s why the NFL

Playoffs are the greatest because look and Spenny you know this if if golf wins two playoff games Zer sum it doesn’t it’s it’s a zero sum game if he wins two playoff games you got to put him up there it’s one of the greatest quarterbacks in

Detroit history you do for sure and and you don’t have a choice with that like Lamar winning the Super Bowl if he wins a Super Bowl and he’s a two-time MVP he’s the best Ravens quarterback of all time ever yeah he’s one of the best quarterbacks ever yeah and you start

Talking about him he changed the game you know like that whole narrative starts yeah and he did it and he’ll get extra because of the lack of a running game you know what I’m saying like perceived lack of a running game and and that’s that’s why I love it and as you

Said Justice Hill looked pretty [ __ ] good Justice Hill’s nice with it yeah no doubt Mitchell was really good until he got hurt too and Gus Edwards you can set your watch to the dude Gus bus yep you can set your watch to the dude but you

Know if Andrews is Healthy Man him and likely they’d probably be the best in combination with thatl likely’s nice man he’s very very good um but yeah I I like the comp to Josh Lamar’s a little bit further down the highway than Josh Allen yeah however it the the clock is still

Ticking it’s going to be ticking on Allen because I believe his his extension kicks in next year it does like now you’re a vet and now you’re running out of time it’s it’s funny how fast it changes but that is why I love that’s why I love the NFL playoffs man

That’s why I love Guardian Alarm too protect your legacy yeah and there’s only one person that they won’t Brad Allen don’t even try to call alarm but everybody else you know Guardian alarms here to offer you customized Solutions professional technicians take the time to recommend security automation

And Dearborn today find the brand you want Le stanford.com keeping it pushing coming down the stretch here Big D energy on a Tuesday Woodward Sports Network Neil Rule and dmac and BMG and Spencer raxter Spen moax here in the house uh but yeah Isaiah bugs uh sent out the Tweet thank

You Detroit for everything in the past year has been amazing for meeting new people playing with great teammates but the time has come for me to say goodbye Detroit 996 out so there is uh there is that and again just going back to it it seems very apparent that there is a

Disconnect between Isaiah bugs and somebody in the locker room it it’s unfortunate because he more than he more than ratified what Terry Foster said you need to be a good football team he said you need a white guy with long blonde hair right y we have that Alex anzalone he

Also said you need a defensive lineman with the big ass yes he did and no ass was bigger than Isaiah bug so from that standpoint dmac he’ll be missed maybe Ric Martin but he doesn’t play anyway right no there’s uh somebody’s got to step up but obviously uh there’s

Something bigger we’ll wait we’ll wait to hear but it sounds like there’s a disagreement because it’s sort of Rumblings all year right in and out of the lineup um you know not the first time we question what was going on with bug so I’m sure he’ll come out in the

Wash and tomorrow uh broer when he’s down there to practice when they’re back at practice cuz they’re off today that he’ll get the dealio yeah absolutely and just out of curiosity bugs was on a one-year deal I believe I think so I I believe we’ll we’ll check it out

And uh and make sure on that but yeah I believe he was on a one-year deal and but that just tells you got guys are coming back right like guys are getting healthy whether it’s CJ G Johnson Lee mcneel whoever you know they need room they need room for guys we saw that

Last week didn’t chase Lucas get cut and then put on the practice squad so it’s that type of that that time of the year all right so bugs was on a two-year $4.5 million contract um 2.1 million was guaranteed at signing he had a cap hit

This year of 1.7 million so you lose just over 400 Grand on your cap for next year so it must have been uh must have been something pretty serious again for him not to play versus the production we saw from him at times but it’s what Brad

Holmes did anybody going to question it I’m not sad but I’m not oh again again you get to trust in homes 100% uh W sports.com Chad thread uh King Yehuda you have a better chance of hitting the Power Ball than Golf and the Lions do of winning two games in the

Playoffs well somebody from Grand Blank did whatever the 800 and whatever was sold up in Grand Blank one ticket so or gr Blanc gr Blanc God why can’t that be me man did you play no well that’s the main reason that would be that would probably be the reason why fair but

Still you got to you got to get in on it man Mr Beast let me get a million dollars holler at your boy here uh wward sports.com chat thread catspot that’s a bad take by Neil Ellen is been way better than Lamar in the playoffs catspot it doesn’t matter as long as you

Don’t none of them has won right again that’s why the NFL playoffs to me are great there is nothing nothing in sports that has more to do with your legacy than the NFL playoffs win or go home and and if you don’t you’re a bum period end of story man like that

That’s that’s exactly that’s exactly what it is so dmac did we get anything like settled here today I I think the people want to see the Rams right I think that’s what the chat said yeah I I think everybody’s comfortable with h going Rams and then having to go back go

To Dallas if that’s the case but you also you know there might be something to it because I mean when you talk rivalries right um remember how when we were growing up the Dallas Redskins rivalry like that that was that was heated you know so if there’s anything

That the Redskins can do to come out um I still don’t think that that that you know Dallas is going to beat them but you have the opportunity shout out to Dan wood he just sent me $2 for Powerball tickets get it in Spenny who don’t you want to

Play um first round because am I right that if it plays out this way I’m not I there isn’t anybody like as far as first round people go like I’m not scared of any of them cuz if you don’t beat them then what are we talking

About right and and you’re at home so it doesn’t matter who you got and and I got to be consistent with it too and that’s where that’s where the rubber is really going to meet the road where in the playoffs dmac you’re in and there’s expectations you have to win or it’s a

Failure yep all of it’s a failure I I’ll stand right I’ll stand right up and look in this camera if the Lions do not win a playoff game this year The Season’s a failure yes it is th this is the waters you’re in now dmac we all we all said we

Wanted the smoke right we all want it want to win the division and get in there these are the waters you’re in now now there’s expectations and if you do not meet them it’s a failure period end of story and that’s why like being consistent about the Michigan thing if

They don’t win The Natty it’s a failure it just is Mike Gentry even said it you’re still okay there it is there’s a verbal cue from from Mike Gentry like the Rose bow was fun and everything it doesn’t matter if you don’t cash it in same deal with the Lions if they don’t

Win a playoff game it’s a failure dmac I don’t care what anybody says but you but look at what both teams have done they put themselves at that in the position that’s all you can ask for right now no absolutely so I do want when we come

Back dmac I do want to talk about it for a couple the the Red Wings thing just a just a I just want a couple sentences like what is the problem it’s not who so being like and BMG I want to get your thoughts too just explain to me because I’ve been

Tyson but a gorilla with no arms yeah that’s a huge disadvantage that’s to Mike Tyson in his pride yeah that’s fair he’s going to knock you out Knock You Back conscious then knock you out again shoot I think I would do a gorilla with no arms over one prime Mike Tyson no way
