Week 13 recap: Chicago Bears head coach options; Are Minnesota Vikings a Super Bowl contender?

[@Please-Vikings-Win-SB-1Time]

Hearing Boone speak so passionately about the vikings team made this fan, who has been alive for all 4 SB trips, start to tear up with HOPE. Curse you Boone and Jeremiah for giving me hope!!!

[@richardcampbell9892]

Slow your roll, Realize it was as the 6th choice. I empathize with Viking and Bills fans as an Eagle fan. with 3 SB losses. This is smelling like Eagles year. High power offense, #1 defense that is becoming down right physically dominant. I love Josh Allen but he won't be able to do what he did to the Eagles. I watched Vikes against Cardinals and Gannon blew that game kicking the FG, he needed the TD or give the Vikes a reason to kick the FG and go to OT. KOC is a hell of a coach, Flores is creative but still need better line play.

[@scottpanek9159]

You are lying? Tell me why the Vikings never won then?

[@wiscored88]

44:27 listening to mackey be “unprofessional” and be “off script” and non-PG, is epic…i watch purple daily A LOT, seeing mackey be himself…awesome lol

[@robcanisto8635]

Mackey is invited to the O Line room cookout

[@peterthompson9027]

Congrats guy's. You should hit 30k by the end of the year. Great for a pod cast so new.

[@TheMagicalScientist]

The best 2hrs on YT weekly.

[@dougquirin8888]

I hate missing episodes totally enjoy listening too u guys

[@Sunless_Sunshine]

Thankful for y’all, keep doing what y’all are doing❤🤘🏼

[@MasonLargeShow]

DFQ: Is it common for married NFL players to see women on the road and does the team ever have to get involved with players personal drama?

[@milesallen5590]

I’m convinced the Oline is by far the coolest room in the NFL if I want to be a fly on a wall it’s around a bunch of Olinemen

[@PaulJohnson-j5g]

Penix era is close boys. Love the work!

[@wideglide2153]

I hope the vikings push him into it!

[@robe2504]

I think Penix will see the field in the 4th quarter at USBank.

[@Lint_licker]

You can tell, this is Mackeys favorite pod to shoot lol. Damn guy smiling ear to ear the whole show and I’m here for it fellas 🤙🏽 SKOL

[@robe2504]

Forget about the Darnold vs JJ thing. Think about extending Sam because then you can trade him for draft picks whenever it makes sense to move on. JJ is the QBOTF. Extending Sam means KOC can chose when to start JJ, and Kwesi can chose when to trade Sam. It's a no brainer. Kwesi can afford Sam and still have more cap space than last year.

[@jaredp5056]

Awesome job today guys!! Love it

[@MNWILD43]

The boys!!! I love when Booney flips out.

[@nathansmith5704]

DFQ: You hear a lot about how players don't really fully recover from an injury until after the season is over. How long after a season ends do players actually get to 100% health?

[@Skolphers]

40:35 I’m with Mackey. It’s JJ’s job unless Darnold takes us to the Super Bowl, and even then it’s a maybe. JJ is going to be lights out.

[@walking_on_MARZ]

Excellent ep men!

[@matthewokner8860]

this is honestly the best football podcast I have found

[@matthewokner8860]

also as a packers fan I want the Vikes Rd1

[@LionsOnTheHunt313]

GREAT discussion on the Al Shahir hit on TLaw! Man I ❤ listening to you guys talk ball!!! Mackey is OK LoL (jk)

[@lugnut33]

Great show, glad I found it. Best old lineman, Jimbo Covert. Dumb football question, if brought in to revamp Bears o-line, what would the guys do?

[@keahilumho8914]

Thanks for giving fellas. ❤️❤️🔥🔥🔥🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻

[@clintonreisig]

Great show

[@wideglide2153]

God I love this show 😂

[@robertf4506]

Another great episode !!

[@willosee]

The start of this episode was hilarious

[@Skolphers]

47:01 packers are good, but love is Favre. Hold your breath when he goes back to pass.

[@tomterrific4179]

Enjoy the show so much I'm even willing to overlook Jeremiah's ties to the hated Cornhuskers. Got a "way too early" question. What teams that are currently not in contention for a championship, possibly a fringe playoff team, do you think might be a "watch out for them" next season? Preferably not the Packers because they're almost as hated as Nebraska. Thank you

[@ndeezlo]

Need the Lions to make the Super Bowl so everyone gets too impatient on waiting for Ben.

[@bradshaw2244]

Freeman to the buckeyes…Boone the pain is real

[@vikings_fans_anonymous]

Worst part about the Azeez hit was he got a 3-1 trade. Not only KO’d Trevor, but 2 Jags got ejected for defending him. All for only losing Azeez

[@tonyowens6802]

DFQ: Has the NFLPA ruined practices? It appears that no one “wraps up” to tackle anymore…

[@omlette9214]

I haven't listened yet but I hope you guys talk about how BS the hit on Trevor lawrence is. The Texans player is a captain and has had multiple games this year where he was hitting late, throwing punches or getting ejected. Demeco ryans said after the game that is not what they coach! yet this guy is out there doing this all season long.

[@stxmisanthrope]

Lamar's issues which you saw on display yesterday was he's som much in his head and battling with yhe perception of him. If he would've took off and ran on alot those plays he was pressured, he would've broke the spirit of the defense. But he wants to be viewed as all tge other QBs, problem is him not using his gits makes him easier to defend. If he would've gashed the eagles yesterday they would've had to adjust and tge passing game would've been easier.

[@kbrewers]

Ben Johnson will become the Bears next Head Coach. Caleb Williams, a Defense that should be good. Offensive weapons.

[@yhwhsozo3680]

I rewatch on my 2nd channel to get 2x’s the joy!!! Dumb ?- favorite Xmas food items and carol? Hehehe I’ll start mashed potatoes and more stuffing🤙🙏🏻❤️ and silent night.

[@thatguy2372]

Dumb question...do head coaches give locker room speeches after losses?

[@tonyowens6802]

Ben Johnson to the Bears

[@LionsOnTheHunt313]

Not a chance!!! Keep your dirty paws off our JOHNSON!!!

[@chadharris7988]

Love to see yall getting more attention/subs. Let’s fucking go!!!

[@chadharris7988]

36:20 Boone is jamming out to his music

[@WarWicked-yh8jp]

Stop bullying conversations Boonie and let the conversations flow

[@bookofawesome8154]

Can you guys explain why it looks like the right tackle false starts every play for some of these teams?

[@tonyowens6802]

Is there a BMI requirement for inclusion in the Oline Committee? I’m thinking automatic inclusion for BMIs over 20…

[@mikeflynn902]

DFQ: Does the O-Line Committee know of any"Leaders of Men" that currently reside in Cook Co. Il.?

[@everlastinglife5978]

Chicago should try for Ben Johnson as HC and Robert Salah as DC

[@DadBeard86]

I looked at my sons right after that throw that Eberflus just lost his job!!!🤦‍♂️

[@tonyowens6802]

DFQ: Do y’all get credit for travel miles while traveling with the team? (Hotel, airfare)

[@mattfritz9986]

Wasn't the Bengals hc just a qb coach when he was hired?

[@joshuat7171]

Bears should hire the Lions OC as their HC.

[@BrandonTalksFitness]

Ben Johnson, Mike Vrabel, Thomas Brown or bust for the Bears

[@boki424]

The wording of the apology shows deflection, specially about the hit. You hear that a lot from people who feel they're supposed to apologize but don't want to admit any fault. It was well worded, but a truly shirt apology, making it all about himself instead of the person he injured with the dirty hit.

[@DerrickRG]

That clown blaming the attacks as racist and islamiphobic is where i immediately discredit the apology.

[@sidelinesarah]

So people will think Azeez’s apology isn’t sincere because of the fight right? If you can, take a look at that fight 1 more time… imagine being shoved by the opposite team backwards and you’re backpedaling towards their sideline. You’re about to trip because you can’t turn around. Azeez and Texans players are pushed down so he takes someone down with him. You can see players stomping on them. I didn’t see the punch from Jarian Jones (Jaguars CB that was ejected) but punches are thrown by Jag players… and then you have that weight on your shoulders because you messed up big time. I understand why his emotions were amplified being at an away game with the fans, environment, back against the wall mentality. I’m not saying Azeez was right but I want to put myself in his shoes. He grew up homeless living underneath a bridge in Tampa. I’m can imagine he grew up possibly having to defend himself and I wouldn’t be surprised if that instinct came out during the fight.

[@sidelinesarah]

Also I hate the lazy take (not from yall but national media) of what if CJ was hit?? They probably should do their research before opening their mouth. Google at your hands 😂 Ok, so that did happen. But Quinnen Williams wasn’t used by the NFL to make an example of. No flag, no fine, nothing. Jets vs Texans 2023 at MetLife, Quinnen Williams had a late hit on CJ that made him concussed/fencing. In Texans GM Nick Caserio’s press conference 2 days ago he said, “We can go to last year, Quinnen Williams bounced CJ’s head off the ground last year. No penalty, no late hit, no nothing. So we’re saying we’re okay with that hit!? This just goes back to the level of consistency.”

[@sidelinesarah]

Side note: What did yall think of Nick Caserio standing up for Azeez’s character? Does that do anything for the morality in the locker room?

[@sidelinesarah]

And when people want to bring up his history… fines are handed out like candy to defenders. Take TJ Watt for example, he has more fines than Azeez, so does that mean next one and he’s suspended for 3 games? Azeez has never been suspended or removed from a game. I understand a suspension but to uphold 3 ?? And the wording of that suspension coming from a dirty Jon Runyan if really rich 🤣 And then the appeal went to another dirty offensive lineman Ramon Foster who is a titans media member (the team that hates the Texans the most because of the Houston Oilers). Very very interesting. All of this.

[@bennettwadekamper8238]

DFQ: What's the best advice for rookies that vets give?

[@robcanisto8635]

The nature of rules around touching QBs and the way they're taken advantage of LEADS to awkward /'dirty' hits because defenses are scared to just tackle them its getting stupid how QBs are now playing a different game than the rest of the league

[@intrepidfool]

Shell coverage is how you defend Darnold. He is at his worst when he has time to overthink things. The longer he sits in the pocket, the worse the outcome for the Vikings. So, please blitz him and keep him on schedule. Skol!

[@nickdarr7328]

There was an article earlier in the year saying Ben Johnson would have taken the bears job last year if it came open. Last year they had 2 first rounders but Caleb Williams is a big draw

[@davidnelson6874]

The Bears should hire Mike Zimmer as head coach. I say that as a Vikings fan who wants to avoid seeing the Bears getting a quarterback whisperer as their head coach.

[@jakethornton4856]

Tbh I feel like qb's are asking for these late hits to happen because they act like they are going to slide then don't or they wait to long to slide in the first place. If u watch the play Trevor is chopping his feet b4 he slides and with the other issue of qb's acting like they are going out of bounds then don't, defenders are tired of getting screwed over like this. I think they shud make a change where the qb had to double tap his helmet to signal they are giving up when they are in the open field or going out of bounds so there is a way for the qb to give up without getting injured and it takes away any opportunity for them to fake like they are giving up and then trying to get more yards.

[@tonyowens6802]

Cue the Kirk Crusaders in 3,2,1…🤣

[@leonardshevlin7260]

One day after the 10th anniversary of Adam Thielen's first NFL touchdown (against Carolina), he was robbed of a touchdown reception for Carolina. He blocked a punt and carried it to the end zone on November 30, 2014.

[@suzannekelly2826]

Yall are hilarious should have more subscribers crack me up when you break down Bectons play calling him the VW beetle lmao ...man do i wish you guys did defense too ik yall would have a name for Jalen Carter

[@nickkorea5850]

Dumb question - are players dying to know what week their bye week is? Or does it matter? Late vs early vs mid bye

[@robe2504]

So pissed that the Bears blew that. It would have been a fantastic result for the Vikes. The Lions D is disintegrating now - so they could easily lose their next 2 or 3. Vikes for the division.

[@essaym7509]

Is Al-Shaair the same guy who literally punched a random Bears player on the sideline? ‘Not a dirty player’… you gotta be kidding me. Hilarious he’s trying to play the victim card… poor you… give me a fucking break. I’d love to see a hard stance by the league.

[@TCK-9]

Yea, typical player apologist take from Boonie. I grew up next to a Vikings player, and I remember him talking about that, how they never called people out for dirty hits, but they always remembered and kept a list of who to return the favor to.

[@robcanisto8635]

the brand groowwwsss

[@bradleerogers9418]

The Lions are gonna get reality checked down the stretch and this pod is going to be hilarious in hindsight

[@andrewcave2045]

The Lions can field a 4-4 defense just from players on IR.

[@BrianLaHara]

I don't like that just below these video was a video with Ben Johnson on the thumbnail.

[@shawnmoney612]

Lions are good but how long can they sustain it through all these injuries Jay knows that right? 7-8 maybe even 9 players are hurt from Lions on defense.

[@BrianLaHara]

When he is there and all the other people are coming up on him, he is gonna defend himself. Have there been other incidents?

[@chrls705]

DFQ: Are there any NFL players with more surgery scares than Evil Knievel?

[@SkolValhalla66]

Dumb Football Question: Should every team have an indoor stadium? Weather clearly affects how teams play (i.e dolphins) but is it better for the league if every week is a level playing field regarding weather conditions?

[@tonyowens6802]

DFQ: Why are the Oline Committee commercials filled with Porn Ad recovery? 🤣

[@TheMagicalScientist]

Mike McCarthy to Da Bears

[@brandonkusilek9002]

DFQ: I know a lot of coaches feel defeated by refs after the games at certain times. And i also feel that only the ones that are willing to take a fine will bash the refs because you cant talk about them in post game pressers. After the games are one thing. What about during the games? Ive ner seen a "technical foul" in he nfl for talking ish to the refs like in the nba. During games do you ever feel that the referees are just totally biased agianst you/your team and how do those conversations go? Are you "allowed" to bash the refs during the game and how do they respond to ugly feelings from teams they throw lots of penalties on?

[@Skolphers]

Azeez should be suspended without pay for the rest of the season. Look at his past. He is a dirty player.

[@RandomGuyCDN]

Guy's apology is bullshit. Man is using religion to deflect and he literally forearm shivered a sliding QB WHILE HE HAD A METAL ELBOW BRACE ON. Why he's even allowed on the field with an elbow brace like that and your not a big trenches boy there's a bigger problem there. Guy also didnt square him up for a form tackle there was malicious intent on that hit. He threw that hit and then tried to fight people and it took multiple minutes to get him off the field. He's a piece of shit and heeds to be out of the league.

[@joshnewman6667]

Facts

[@mattblickenderfer9704]

First of all his agent wrote that he can barely speak in real life of course he meant to blast him with his brace arm

[@danielbreid8439]

Azeez is trying to avoid the extended suspension.

[@jakehileman5374]

They need to find a way to get rid of the Mahomes fake slide or else the late QB hits will keep happening

[@mypeeps1965]

packer fans show up!

[@primetech2659]

I completely disagree with it being dirty at all forearms are used all the time usually the person isn't sliding and that's the problem stop trying to protect a FOOTBALL PLAYER

[@blaowtousai]

Turning themself into a victim is definitely a move someone makes who is not apologetic.

[@Peterkringle]

Dumb football question... are there guys who went too hard in practices or not hard enough?

[@johnswanson3741]

da Bears missed on firing the biggest problem! Ryan Poles...totally incompetent

[@thomasbuege8074]

Honestly the Bears I think best option is Kingsberry as HC and I can see Mike Zimmer being a WAGON with the defense. I know he isn't looking great with the Cowboys but the weapons they got in Chicago can make a great D and the storyline of KOC vs Zimmer would feed families for however long Zim has left.

[@lugnut33]

Dumb football question: after seeing the Bears shit themselves in San Francisco, were either of the guys on a team where players literally gave up? You have to know which guys have lost the fire and how do they get treated?

[@HinkebeinJoe]

just go vikings pls!

[@lkgLukeS]

Azeez Al-Shaiir should be fined to hell.

[@mypeeps1965]

BTW, Olinemen suck this year, by and large. Look at the tape! Teams that's spent money on warn out, overrated linemen, and skill players suck! The teams that build within are much better, Shiit, what a surprise? Wait til the playoff, it will be more laughable now then at any time in the history of the NFL.

[@KKC70]

Stop it with complaining about the referees calling too many penalties. Stop holding, and stop the false starts, and you won't see the flags. Lack of discipline, and guys trying to get away with something, are the problems
