00:00I didn't think that was a game yesterday, John.
00:02I thought Philly played great on defense as usual
00:05and handled their business.
00:07I'm shocked, though, Scotty, that they
00:10didn't put up more than 22.
00:12Because at halftime, I put out a message to my followers.
00:15And I'm like, anyone else getting
00:17Penn State-Notre Dame vibes?
00:19Because they had dominated the first half,
00:22but yet to distance themselves.
00:24And you know Green Bay would have a chance.
00:26If Jordan Love stops throwing the ball to the opposite team,
00:30they could get back into that game.
00:32That never happened, by the way.
00:33So that was a lot of fun to watch.
00:35He looked awful, but not as bad as Justin Herbert did.
00:40Scotty, I remember some of those road trips with the Thrashers.
00:43And I mean, he was stumbling around.
00:45And I thought maybe it was a flashback to 1999.
00:50Honestly, you can't play like that and win a playoff game.
00:54It's bad enough.
00:56We've sat here all day talking about my Steelers
00:58bending over for five weeks.
01:00They looked anemic.
01:02They were down 21-zip.
01:04They were just awful.
01:06Their defense was awful.
01:08Their offense is stale and three and out.
01:10I don't see those problems with Philly.
01:12Now, let's talk about Hurts.
01:14He came back from missing the games with a concussion.
01:17And he didn't have to really do that much.
01:19But when he ran, he was effective.
01:21And I thought Barkley did his usual great job.
01:25The big thing is this, Scotty.
01:26The thing with this way is that Jalen Hurts,
01:28he's played in 15 and a half of the games
01:33that they've played this year.
01:34He has as many interceptions in 15 and a half games
01:38as Jared Goff threw in 51 minutes of one game.
01:43So what they've been asking Jalen Hurts to do
01:46is exactly what you just said.
01:48Don't do too much.
01:49You don't have to do too much.
01:50You have Saquon Barkley.
01:52You've got a great offensive line.
01:53Just don't turn the ball over.
01:55And they have set that at a premium, and it's worked.
01:58But, of course, everybody was going nuts this morning,
02:01saying, well, why didn't Hurts throw for 250
02:04and everything like that?
02:05And it's like, because they don't have to.
02:06And they don't put the ball in harm's way.
02:09And I think that'll probably be very important this week,
02:12depending on who they end up playing.
