What else happened this week? The national championship college football Clemson Alabama shocking result Alabama being blown out 4416 I was discussing earlier this week with my girlfriend. So I'm believe it or not I'm actually not so lonely as you may think And she's from Alabama. So she's an Alabama fan and for me. I don't really have a preference on who I was rooting for But I was Leaning towards Clemson because Trevor Lawrence is from Georgia. I'm a Georgia fan I'm from here. This is where the show is based out of and he is from Carterville, Georgia Which is just about an hour hour and a half away from us so I was kind of rooting for him to win that game so it would give credibility to Georgia and You can hear on the podcast my voice cracked because that's how much confidence I have in the state of Georgia and their sports teams with the Falcons the Hawks the Braves the Bulldogs Great times But we appreciate you guys tuning in to the time to football podcast if you're listening to this podcast on iTunes just know that we have this podcast up on YouTube I'm waving into the camera right now and You can see the video podcast up on there and we have graphics that go along with it but vice versa if you're listening to this on YouTube just go to the podcast app on your phone search time to football and listen to us on the go Because it kind of sucks to watch a 30 minute video I'm pretty sure at this point right now when you guys tune into this video and we're looking at it It's like oh, this is 30 minutes long of this guy talking forget this But I'm telling you you can listen to me on the way to work You can listen to me when you're working out at the gym give you that extra motivation if you're lit if you're at the gym right now Come on bump it you can do it You know that Arnold Schwarzenegger phrase where he says You know, I'm not gonna reference it any further because it's a sexual innuendo, but for you guys at workout You know what I'm talking about um but We introduced a segment last week called mind blowing facts where we just talked about some mind blowing facts in the NFL That's it pretty simple, right? So this week we're gonna go ahead with our segments mind blowing facts Wow That was Owen Wilson that you heard saying Wow, so I Mentioned this last week. I got an app on my laptop now about how It's pretty much like a soundboard on here So I can make any sound that I want so this sound. Oh Back to wow or even So it's pretty cool That I get to play around with that But we've got some mind blowing facts for you guys That's related to each game in the division round of the NFL playoffs Let's go ahead and read them off and after we read read off each fact. You're gonna hear Wow Because it's pretty amazing. So fact number one The Colts of the Chiefs play this Saturday This will be the fifth meeting between the two teams in the postseason Indianapolis is for an O against the Chiefs in the playoffs Wow That's actually pretty crazy to think the last time they faced was in 2013 when Andrew Luck had that great Come from behind victory And helped propel the Colts to the divisional round Fact number two the Rams of the Cowboys faced later that night The Cowboys and Rams have faced nine times in the postseason But this is their first postseason matchup in 33 years the last time they faced was the 1985 NFC divisional playoffs Wow great stuff that we've got there fact number three for the Next game the Sunday games the Chargers of Patriots last faced in the playoffs during the 2007 season Patriots won that game, but Phillip Rivers played through the whole game with a torn ACL Wow, so lots of grit by Rivers The last time the Saints and Eagles faced and the playoffs was 2013 which the Saints won but that was the last postseason game that Nick Foles Had lost he's 4-0 in the playoffs since then and He's always getting a reputation or a building reputation for himself as being this great postseason quarterback So he they're facing this week. So let's see if he can get over the New Orleans Saints The last fact we've got for you is a little history being made by Patriots quarterback Tom Brady Brady is the NFL's all-time postseason lead leader in games played Which is 37 games he's played Wins he's won 27 postseason games passing yards 10,226 and touchdown passes he's thrown 71 touchdown passes in the postseason which leads all quarterbacks All-time in NFL history Wow in the postseason So those were your mind blowing facts for this week Now let's get into some news that's being talked about in the NFL and this all relates to head coaching hires That's all we're gonna talk about First one. We've got Matt LaFleur to the Green Bay Packers. This was the first head coaching hire that was announced so far the Titans offensive coordinator Who didn't have a great year for the Titans But previously he was a quarterback's coach for Matt Ryan when he won the MVP and he was able to help Sean McVeigh Develop a great offense. So he's an offensive minded coach. He's 39 years old Let's see if LaFleur can do anything with Aaron Rodgers and the Green Bay Packers next head coaching hire We've got is Bruce Arians is coming out of retirement to be the head coach of the Tampa Bay Buccaneers Arians retired not last year, but the year prior to that After he was with the Arizona Cardinals and he decided to come back and he's Leading the Tampa Bay Buccaneers now and he's trying to assemble the same staff that he had in Arizona Todd Bowles is gonna be the defensive coordinator for the Cardinals and Byron left Which will be the offensive coordinator the next head coaching hire We've got Cliff Kingsbury who his most recent possession was the offensive coordinator for USC Was only the coordinator for about a month and a half before he accepted the job with the Arizona Cardinals Kingsbury will be leaving the college ranks and be going to the NFL And this is his first NFL head coaching position fourth hire Vic Fangio to the Denver Broncos Defensive coordinator for the Chicago Bears very good coach very disciplined minded He's gonna be the head coach of the Denver Broncos and the last head coaching hire Freddie kitchens to the Cleveland Browns So this was shocking because a lot of people thought that Greg Williams after going five and three as the interim head coach Would have a shot at being the Browns head coach But Freddie kitchens the offensive coordinator for the Browns gets promoted to be the head coach in Cleveland so Shocking stuff. We've got right there five hundred head coaching hires so far and by the time you listen to this podcast It might be even more So that's five head coaching vacancies Already decided and we've got three more Now we're gonna get into some injury news Prior to the division around of the NFL playoffs starting off with Melvin Gordon So he has been banged up all year this time. It's his knee He heard it and that game against Baltimore, but it's expected that he will play this Sunday Allen herds Cowboys wide receiver ankle injury Did not look pretty. He's placed on injured reserve and hopefully he can get better sometime soon Hunter Henry so I reported last week that Hunter Henry would be coming back In that game against the Ravens Decided to keep them on that injury report for a little bit longer, but now they finally activate them and He's gonna be playing this Sunday Against the Patriots Cole Beasley ankle injury. He's day-to-day. So Tavon Austin also is dealing with an injury. So they're pretty thin at the wide receiver position Especially with Alan herds now on IR Todd Gurley hasn't played since week 15 knee injury He was limited in practice this week, but the go-to sign is that he's gonna play this Sunday Or I'm sorry the Saturday TY Hilton ankle injury did not practice But the story for him all season long is that he misses practice all week And then he goes out there and gets like 130 yards receiving So we're not too worried about him Hilton But it's important to watch that he did not practice Eric Berry safety for the Chiefs. He'll injury He was limited in practice. He's expected to play and Mike Mitchell a calf injury He was placed on IR safety for the Colts will not be playing later this Season and those were your injury news Prior to the divisional round of the NFL playoffs now We're gonna get into weekly picks But the first game that we're gonna talk about is that first Saturday game the Indianapolis Colts versus the Kansas City Chiefs the Colts They dominated on the offensive line last week I said that was gonna be the key matchup is the Colts offensive line versus the Texans defensive line and Quinton Nelson and the Colts Offensive line dominated and that's gonna be key this game as well trying to block guys as Chris Jones or D. Ford Prevent them from getting to Andrew Luck Let's see if that can happen on the other side Keynes of City Patrick Mahomes having a great year That Colts defense they've gotten better over the the last few weeks So let's see if Mahomes can slice it up and beat them For me my pick in this game. I am going with the Kansas City Chiefs. I really like them their offense is phenomenal I know their defense is ranked 31st and that's gonna be great for the Indianapolis Colts offense But I'm still picking the Chiefs offense led by Patrick Mahomes to beat the Colts in advance to the AFC championship game So let's see who you guys believe For you guys that voted on Instagram So the results are up 71% are leaning towards the Chiefs and 29% are with the Colts last week. You guys said 25% going with the Colts and 75% 75% were going with the Texans and that was a big margin and the Colts ended up upsetting the Texans Now you guys are still strongly against the Colts Let's see if the Colts can pull off that upset next game Cowboys versus Rams Jack Prescott wins his first playoff game of his career for the Rams the best one of the best ranked offenses in the league and Not too bad of a defense. I know that their secondary has been questionable But not a bad team and they're heavily favored to win this game So I think it's gonna come down to the match-up between Todd Gurley and Ezekiel Elliott Who's gonna have the better run game and whoever runs the ball more effectively will win the game last week I said that about the Cowboys and the Seahawks and it ended up being the Cowboys That ran the ball more effectively and they won same thing applies here Who is going to run the ball more effectively and I personally am going to pick the Rams I think Todd Gurley you're gonna see a battle of two of the best running backs in the NFL right now Even though Gurley is coming off of his knee injury that passing attack could pick up the slack if Gurley were to get injured again So the time of football faithful. Let's see who you guys choose 66% are rooting for the Rams to win this game and 34% are going with the Cowboys We doubted the Cowboys last week So let's see if they pull off the underdog victory and beat the Rams the Sunday games the Chargers versus Patriots Phillip Rivers Pulling off that game or that victory against that Baltimore defense Relying on money Michael Badgley to make those field goals and win that game for the Patriots They haven't been looking themselves this year So let's see if Tom Brady and their offense can go back to Greatness because they've been above average. I'll give them credit. We're credit to do But they haven't been elite or they haven't been great But Tom Brady one of the best postseason quarterbacks You can trust them and I think the Patriots are gonna make this a very close game And it's just gonna be a very close game because I'm picking the Chargers to win this game the Chargers all Season long before the season even started I said the Chargers were going to the Super Bowl and that Phillip Rivers is gonna ride into the sunset Call it a career and I'm still picking the Chargers to make the Super Bowl. So Let's see who you guys the time to football faithful are picking to win this game Unreal This is actually really shocking the Patriots are favored to lose according to you fans 48% are picking the Patriots and 52% are picking the Chargers. I like the Chargers I think it's gonna be a close game and the fan voting is pretty close, but I I'm I think the Patriots are the favorite honestly to win this game But so far we're all agreeing on the picks we picked the chiefs To be the Colts we both picked the Rams to be the Cowboys and we both picked the Chargers to beat the Patriots So we're all on the same page right here Let's see if we're on the same page with the fourth game the Eagles versus the Saints Nick falls like I mentioned on top of the broadcast last time he lost the playoff game was in 2013 When he lost to the Saints And he had that magical season where he threw 27 touchdowns to only two interceptions for the Saints Last few weeks of the season. Drew Brees hasn't been himself. He hasn't been At that great status, but it's not so much because the Saints have been bad, but more so they just haven't been needing him They've been relying on Alvin Camara and Mark Ingram To get them by and for them to win games. So I Personally am picking these Saints to beat the Eagles I believe that the postseason magic for Nick falls stops here and That he won't be able to beat the New Orleans Saints who have a better defense than most people think But for you guys the time of football fans Let's see if you guys agree with me and we could be four and four and it and be on the same page with all of our picks and We are 67% of you guys are picking the Saints to win this game and 33% are leaning towards folidelphia and The Eagles yes, I purposely said folidelphia. I didn't stutter or mess up on that Folidelphia Went to avania It's a great place on earth Listen guys, we're gonna go ahead and get into our hot topic That we talk about in the NFL and we've also got fan questions I'm gonna answer later on the podcast, but we want to take a moment to mention Patreon Patreon is the best way to support your favorite content creator videographer podcaster model Content creator whatever it is you Sign up on patreon.com and you can go ahead and it's like a go fund me every month You choose how much you want to pledge to your favorite content creator You guys have been phenomenal in supporting us in patreon We've already got a few people that signed up and it's really helping out a lot.

We would have enough revenue to grow time of football tremendously and We really appreciate everything that you've given us so far But for you guys that want to contribute That is p a t r e o n dot com slash time to football patreon.com slash time to football This is part of the show where we talk about a hot topic in the NFL and When I was writing the show I Wrote down that I wanted to talk about Cody Parky this was Monday that I was writing this and And There's so much backlash and I had so much to say about it That I thought to myself I can't wait till Wednesday So the show comes out to talk about it. I want to talk about it right now So I went ahead You know got my camera up sat behind the desk and I was like I'm gonna talk about this segment And then I'll incorporate it later into the podcast so we came out with that video on Monday So if you guys already watched that video talking about Cody Parky's missed field goal, you could go ahead and skip This part if you're watching on YouTube in the comment section. I've listed timestamps of like Where the next segment is is which is fan questions so you can go ahead and click on that and skip over But for you guys that did not have a chance to watch that video We're gonna go ahead and roll this footage and we'll get back with you guys so tune in The segment that I want to talk about it's it's about Chicago Bears kicker Cody Parky Parky has kicked for the Philadelphia Eagles and the Miami Dolphins in the past before landing in Chicago with a four-year $50 million contract Just to say how it is he hasn't been the most accurate kicker This season as a matter of fact against his former team the Miami Dolphins earlier this year He missed a potential game-winning field goal and over time Not potential it was gonna be a game-winning field goal He missed that against the Miami Dolphins and cost of Chicago Bears that game And then last night against his other former team the Philadelphia Eagles where he went to the Pro Bowl for he lost in Dramatic fashion because he missed a game-winning field goal that would have propelled the Chicago Bears to advance in the NFC playoffs and Face the Los Angeles Rams next week. So This is actually very interesting because a lot of negativity has been surrounding Parky as a matter of fact as Parky was exiting soldier field through the tunnel He was going through a sea of booze by the Chicago faithful And it wasn't so much that reaction from the fans at soldier field But most of the reactions of the fans on social media That explains what is wrong with the world today now. It's 2019 everybody Nowadays is extremely Sensitive and I hate it. I really do everybody has to be so PC politically correct and watch everything that they say so that They don't offend anyone but then there comes a time when you can be crossing the line Such as for example giving death threats to Cody Parkie is that not crossing the line NFO athletes have jobs and The only difference between their jobs and our jobs is that they're put in a different light that they are exposed that if they do Something wrong make a bad play mess up. Whatever People are so quick To criticize and be negative. They are the first ones to post a negative comment They are the first ones to like that negative comment so many people will like that so many people will leave the Laughing reaction emoji that you see on Facebook that Isn't used whenever something is legitimately funny more so than it is when they're trying to mock somebody and That's just the way it works. Don't believe me Let's use a couple of examples first off with another NFL athlete Tony Romo Romo who's often been criticized his entire NFL career for having fourth quarter blunders and choking and giving up These fourth quarter leads and not being able to perform comebacks even though statistically He's one of the best fourth quarter quarterbacks and NFL history But people don't focus on that people just see that in the last two minutes a Game gets lost when Tony Ramo is a quarterback There's a specific game in 2013 when he faced the Denver Broncos the final outcome of that game was that Romo threw 500 yards and five touchdowns to keep pace With the eventual MVP of that year Peyton Manning of the Denver Broncos 500 yards and five touchdowns is what it took to put this game close because it was 48 to 51 Romo with less than two minutes made one Critical mistake and that was throwing an interception And ending that game for the Cowboys. So they ended up losing because of that Romo interception, but if it weren't for Romo Throwing 500 yards and five touchdowns. Would they even be at that point? Where they could win that game Makes you wonder Now with Cody Parky For him not scoring nine points counting for more than half Of the Chicago Bears points yesterday Scoring three field goals earlier in the game And just missing one because the Chicago Bears defense couldn't stop nick foals and golden tape from scoring a touchdown Or the Chicago Bears offense couldn't put put more points on the board than just one touchdown Would they even be in the position to win that game if it weren't for Cody Parky But people would disregard that people would disregard that people would disregard that The ball was tipped and go ahead and post something negative And just see him in a negative light They'll criticize people at their job and if you criticize someone At their job and if you criticize an NFL athlete, especially for doing their job What's the difference between you and a 40 year old mom that wants to speak to that manager that has that one haircut? What's the difference for you people that work to retail, you know what I'm saying You do your job There's there's that one person that says no you're doing a bad job You you're terrible you and then you just come at you with anger And they want to speak to a manager. What's the difference? So the point is Cody whether it was parky's fault or not He doesn't watch time to football. Maybe he does. I don't know But Cody I got a message for you man keep your head up Because if it weren't for you you Did enough that you can to put nine points on the board and prior to that Help you lead your team to a 12 and 4 record and get your team to the playoffs. You did enough that you could To help your team make the playoffs for the first time since 2010 and you have already Accomplished more than 99 percent of those guys behind their phones that comment those bad things You've accomplished more in life than those 99 percent and that was my reaction to people's reaction Of cody parky's missed field goal. Yeah came out an hour or two afterwards that the ball was tipped But it sucks that even before um We found that out tip ball or not that he got that much backlash uh spewed towards him Sports fans nowadays man just more negativity than positive Um, but we're trying to get out of that sobber mood and let's talk about something positive And that's fan questions. So we love interacting with you guys on social media and we uh Asked you guys on social media To ask your questions whether it's instagram twitter facebook youtube whatever it is Asked you questions. We're gonna pick a few of them and answer them on air. We've got A lot of questions submitted this week. We're not gonna have a uh Not gonna have a chance to answer all the questions But we picked out a few and don't worry if your question doesn't get answered this week We save those questions. We don't delete them. We save them We're gonna answer them another week. Okay But question number one This is uh on instagram and this is from the username big bat ben number one Do you think the seahawks could have won if seabass did not hurt himself? Yeah, in that game against the cowboys at the end of the first half he pulled his hamstring Um when he was going for a field goal and that field goal ended up being missed So if he didn't hurt himself it might have been made And if that were the case Yeah, I it's it's hard to say because When the seahawks were coming back down by 10 points And they scored a touchdown to make it 20 to 24 They decided to go for two points and they got the two-point conversion. It was 22 24 was the final outcome of the game But if they got the extra point because seabass was healthy, it would have been 21 to and for as a matter of fact Prior to that In the first half if he didn't pull his hammy He would have made that field goal and it would have been 24 24 and the game would have gotten into overtime So At overtime who knows would have happened But yeah, they would have they would have had a better chance of winning that game if seabass didn't get hurt question number two This is from our very own david hendrix who helps out with uh Uh a lot of videography more cinematic projects that we do on time with football I helped out with some of the graphics as well david underscore e 11 asks Does shack not get booty because girls think he is Too big he intended to say think But it says does shack not get booty because girls think He is too big. What thing you're talking about Um, you know, that's a good one I think so. I think I think girls want a uh A good height. They want a tall guy But when you're too tall That that's just I don't know. I'm not a girl. I don't know. I'm not attracted to men Not that there's anything wrong with that. Um, but it's a good question. Um, I would say that uh Yeah, he he he probably does have trouble getting booty because he is pretty big. So thank you david for your question Question three Who is your favorite player? So this is Surprising, but i'm a falcons fan. So you would think I would say matt ryan julio jones. Maybe even davante freeman no Actually It is matt Bosher the punter for the atlanta falcons. So i've been with the punters or people For the brand movement long before It became a thing. I was with them Back in like 2012 2013. I was like kickers and punters need more love My favorite team were the atlanta falcons and I really loved Matt bosher. I was like this guy doesn't get enough love and he's a really good punter To the fact that I've been to some uh falcons practices and I was like Every single falcons practice that I go to every single year they have one specific Practice that they have in a high school. It's like a big event. It's called friday night friday night lights I'm like at that friday night lights event every single year.

You have to say that Who do you want to see in these super bowls? Well The super bowl doesn't mean singular. I would love to see uh, like I said Uh, philip rivers Uh, and the cna go chargers. I mean los angeles chargers. Sorry. I slip up all the time Uh philip rivers and the la chargers on the afc side on the nfc side. I don't know yet. Um It would be cool to see drew breeze just because I I respect drew breeze a lot He's a really good guy and those that quarterback battle drew breeze philip rivers would be phenomenal And the super bowl chargers saints that'd be great. Um, but for sure the chargers I have them Going to the super bowl um question five this from john underscore frigera underscore 10 Where is your organism organization bro?

Man, that's a deep question. Um I don't know I don't determine salary and all that but you've got a point um pro athletes um I was gonna say they put This gonna sound bad. They do put their bodies on the line I know not to the extent of like first responders, but You know at any point their careers could end from an injury um So maybe they're trying to prepare them for the future But for first responders I think they should probably get paid more than they actually do.
