00:00 Let's talk about teams the Niners might play in the play in the first round of the playoffs. It's not gonna be
00:05 Most likely it's not gonna be
00:08 Dallas
00:09 Detroit
00:11 Those two but they could face
00:14 Tampa
00:16 Philly the Rams and maybe the Packers. So let's go through each one and so I love it. Yeah
00:23 Start with Tampa not just played him a fight about a month ago beat him 27 14
00:28 There was a moment where Tampa was coming back Bakers had a good year
00:31 He's it's not a bad quarterback, but the Niners put him away in the fourth quarter
00:35 No, sir, kill him not also kill him
00:38 Nothing against Baker by the way, and again, my heart goes out to him. He's he's rededicated himself
00:44 I just think the Niners are too good and I don't see unless weird things happen and they do in football
00:51 I don't see the Niners losing at Tampa. Don't see them as a threat. How about you? I don't think Baker's good
00:57 He's a good quarterback, but he's not
00:59 Is he even as good as Purdy? Oh
01:01 God, no, no God. Would you do no, I don't think so. No not Tampa. Okay, forget it's a mediocre club
01:09 mediocre club
01:12 How about Philly?
01:14 Haha
01:16 mediocre club
01:18 absolutely overrated
01:20 Overhyped and they believed it themselves
01:23 Yes simple offense
01:26 Really overrated quarterback Iggy. I I don't like his work. He's been so close
01:31 Oh, I think that coach has been exposed the team is and I think
01:36 Mentally they're in the dumps. I don't I see that the Niners killing him
01:42 Yeah
01:44 Killing I I mean they just lost to Arizona. They're not being the Niners
01:48 No
01:49 No, so forget them. Okay the Rams
01:55 Now the Rams are interesting
01:57 um
01:59 They have a fish Duncan a record. What are they nine and eight?
02:01 Yes
02:04 nine and seven nine nine seven nine seven because
02:07 Nine and eight is seven. Yeah, okay nine and seven
02:11 It's it's a very mediocre record in a very mediocre league all the sudden nine and seven is good
02:17 But nine and seven isn't good now. They've come on lately
02:22 Okay, they've come on lately
02:24 They're not that good
02:26 Stafford's good quarterback and he throws one or two picks a game. I
02:30 think
02:33 We had a concept last week. There's NFL tough, which is a lot of AFC teams and
02:38 NFC tough, which is those I
02:42 Consider at this point in the season the Rams are NFC tough
02:47 They can beat bad or mediocre
02:50 NFC teams
02:52 But
02:53 They're an illusion. They're NFC tough
02:56 It's not the same as AFC tough you put them against a good team like the Niners and the Niners are a hell of a team
03:02 They're gonna fold they're gonna look ridiculous
03:05 So I say they they do pose an issue for the Niners. They know each other so well
03:11 They play each other, you know twice twice a year
03:15 as I
03:17 Don't see them beating the Niners. I don't I don't give him a chance
03:21 Yeah, how about you?
03:23 They have a chance
03:26 They beat the Niners in the NFC championship. They have a quarterback who won a Super Bowl
03:30 They have arguably the best quarterback in the NFC
03:33 Stafford or Purdy or Jordan love I think they're all in the same
03:37 area, so
03:40 They have an offense their defense isn't that good
03:43 Which gives a real good chance to win this game. They are NFC tough
03:48 But are the Niners not NFC tough as well or the NFL time?
03:51 The Niners are not NFL tough because they got beat by three AFL North teams
03:56 What I would say with the Niners is that the toughest of the NFC tough teams?
04:00 But we'll find out in the Super Bowl if they go there if they're NFL tough right now
04:06 They haven't proved it their NFC tough not NFL tough. Would you agree? I would agree. I mean the Niners I
04:12 Respect Stafford. I think the Niners respect Stafford. He's a really good quarterback
04:16 He might be better than Purdy but that offense with Puka Nakua and Cooper Cup and Kyron Williams. It's not explosive
04:22 They might be able to put together long drives, but not
04:25 Fast drives and I think one thing the Niners have going for him is they're very explosive
04:30 Brock pretty can throw a five-yard pass to Debo Samuel to touchdown or Christian McCaffrey or a kiddle
04:37 So yeah, the diners are just a better team than the ramp
04:42 Yeah, okay. So I don't think the Rams but yeah, I could be wrong, but I don't think so and then
04:49 The Packers now there could be the Seahawks or the Saints, but right now it's the Packers
04:55 Okay, I would dismiss the Seahawks and the Saints. I would just dismiss them
05:00 Among other things that aren't good coaches, but the Packers now, that's interesting. Yeah
05:07 I
05:09 Don't think their coach is all that. Well either it all that good either LeFleur
05:13 But they have this really promising quarterback and they're a good team. They're a very good team
05:21 They may be the second best team in the NFC, but Iggy, I think they're very young and at least a year away
05:28 That's how I feel and I feel that just on experience alone and because they have better
05:35 Personnel and a better coach. I think the Niners would beat Green Bay, but it might be a tough game
05:41 Yes. Yes
05:43 Look when the Niners have lost this year. They've lost with the exception of the Cleveland game to really good quarterbacks
05:48 your cousins Joe Burrow and
05:51 This most recent one Lamar Jackson
05:55 Now
05:57 J Walker PJ Walker
06:01 I forgot his name. He's in all-time great Jordan. Love is a lot better than I think Jalen hurts
06:07 I'd say I'd take Jordan love over Dak Prescott
06:11 I'm oh boy what I yeah in a heartbeat. Yes, of course
06:16 So that's why I feel like the Niners aren't scared of the Cowboys because they're not scared of Dak
06:20 They're not scared of the Eagles because they're not scared of Jalen hurts
06:22 But the two quarterbacks at the Niners have to at least respect in the NFC Jordan love and Matthew Stafford
06:28 So big if all you know, well, if all is the same be nice to not face those teams
06:31 Absolutely, right because those would be games those would have games. Absolutely
06:38 Lie, I can't get
06:41 Joe Burrow's performance against the Niners out of my head. He made it look easy
06:45 effortless
06:46 I'm not saying Jordan love is that good but or Matthew Stafford, but
06:50 Maybe on one day any given Sunday staffer could play like that. I don't know
06:56 Lyle Bollard says the media now is building the Ravens as a team that can't be beat. What do you guys think?
07:01 Okay
07:04 They can be beat. They've been beat
07:06 All I can say is and they may get knocked off
07:09 It may be that the Niners wouldn't have to face them in the in the Super Bowl because there were some very strong teams in
07:16 The AFC but all I know about the Ravens is they not only beat the Niners to kick their butt
07:23 they kicked their butt and
07:25 That's a fair thing to say and you know say well if things were a little different. They weren't a little different
07:30 They came here when three time zones in in that in the Niners place and kicked their butt. I respect them
07:37 It's 33 to 12 at one point
07:40 I didn't expect that Chris Taller Rico says everyone watching this channel knows the how they could lose Shani
07:45 Always him and his in-game decisions. They usually lose big games because of them
07:50 Kyle Shani there's a lot there's a history of that and I think
07:54 there was if they get into the Super Bowl and
07:56 maybe even in the playoffs one of the sub themes is
08:01 Shannon does he self-destruct or or does he comport himself?
08:07 Like Bill Walsh or George Seyfert. Can he win? Can he win when?
08:13 Everything is all that pressure is on you
08:17 You know when you have to deal with the media every day and people you don't know
08:21 I want to tell you what Bill Walsh once told me and you know, if you've watched this channel, I
08:25 Knew Bill very well, and he was a fretful nervous man
08:30 I'm a fretful nervous man. And we I think we related to each other in over that and in other ways
08:37 But he once told me something that was extremely revealing and poignant. He said
08:43 when the game starts and
08:47 He's on the sideline calling plays. Lol. He said it's like someone puts a sheet of
08:53 noise-proof glass in front of me and
08:56 I feel detached from the game. I don't hear anything and I call my plays in a sort of serene mood
09:05 But then when the game is over the glass goes away and I hear all the sounds of the fans and everything again
09:14 hmm Kyle needs to learn
09:18 About the glass. Yeah
09:20 Yeah, he needs to learn about the glass. Yeah
09:24 He needs to calm down in these games. Yeah, all I could remember against the Ravens
09:30 Watching on well, you could see it on TV. Kyle was so upset worked up yelling at his players yelling at Brock yelling at the refs
09:39 Harbaugh was in a great mood. Well, he's winning but Harbaugh is very calm
09:44 Harbaugh's always calm his brother Jim is is not calm. No, but John Harbaugh again
09:51 He's a guy if they show you his face. You don't know if the Ravens are ahead or trailing. That's true
09:58 He's he's like the captain of a ship
10:00 He he has to maintain his cool because he has to make decisions. I think he has
10:07 the the
10:09 Perfect temperament of a head coach and Kyle still needs to display it
10:14 Joseph Stockbridge says I was talking about shoes because arm says injury
10:17 I was just at finish your show with Krug all the name brands restrict feet barefoot brands are love
10:23 Okay. Well, this is for
10:26 Armstead and your plantar fasciitis Dazza says lol, I agree with you about offensive lineman. They don't get enough appreciation
10:32 How many offensive lineman get recognition from fans and people wearing their jerseys?
10:35 You know, they're anonymous. That's one of the reasons they're so likable. They don't have big egos
10:41 They probably walk into Safeway and shop and people see they're large, but they don't know who they are
10:46 They're not used to being treated like superstars
10:49 And they're not LeBron James and it's one of the reasons I find them. I'm gonna use this word
10:56 attractive as
10:58 personalities
10:59 You mean when Colton McKibbitz walks into Safeway people don't freak out
11:02 And you know, I bet I hold on I bet Colton McKibbitz is the kind of guy if this
11:11 Someone who's short and is trying to reach something, you know to get the mayonnaise from a higher shelf, but can't reach
11:17 I bet Colton McKibbitz and
11:19 all of them
11:22 71 to come over say may I get that for you?
11:25 What else can I help you with?
11:26 There are people on the 49ers and I'm not gonna name names who I don't think would do that
11:31 Plus they might not even go to Safeway. They may have a shopper who goes to Safeway
11:39 Yeah, I was talking to my niece and nephew a while ago and
11:43 They were both going to public school in Oakland and at the time I guess my brother was shopping for them at Whole Foods and
11:52 Word word got around school that they had, you know food from Whole Foods in their lunch and kiss our con him Whole Foods kids
12:00 Whoa, oh, what does it mean? What does it mean that you're a Whole Foods kid? Well, I had an open public school
12:07 Hey, you're rich
12:09 Rich kid. Yeah, Hope it's kid over here. Everyone else guys say I mean you would send me to
12:13 not that we were poor but you would send me to school with pick cold chicken wings from Safeway and
12:19 the the cold
12:22 French fries and I loved it. I was a Safeway kid
12:25 But we didn't get Whole Foods until 2006 in Oakland. I want to say right right as I left. Yeah
12:32 Not only in my Safeway person, I know all the people at Safeway, yeah, right
12:38 Well Francis left but he was in charge of the meat department and Patrick checks me out every time
12:45 I know the people at Safeway
12:47 Yeah, that's right. Okay. I got a bonus question for you
12:49 Did the Niners overuse Christian McCaffrey this year?
12:53 Okay, we got another we were gonna talk about the AFC a little - oh
12:57 Let's talk about the AFC a little - teams and I as my play in the Super Bowl. Yeah
13:03 Now they let's say they're going to the Super Bowl and I think they are
13:06 Now I think the AFC lineup is much more dangerous than the NFC quote-unquote tough lineup
13:14 So, uh, let's say some teams that could present the challenge to the 49ers
13:21 Clearly the Ravens the Ravens the Ravens. That's a really good team and they beat him. Yep
13:30 Then name one
13:32 Okay, the Chiefs even though they haven't had a great season
13:35 they still have a really good defense a really good defense and they have the best quarterback in the league and a really good coach a
13:41 Great break play caller and you feel they may be coming together right now. Yeah, so I said what we're saying is
13:50 Not that the Niners would lose to these teams
13:54 But it would be a game and they might they might lose they might win they might lose
13:58 I'm gonna give you one Cleveland. Yes
14:01 Do you agree?
14:04 They beat the Ravens this year. Yes. Yeah. Yes, absolutely flat. I thought Flacco was
14:09 Dead, you know like out of the league dead in a way he was but what a story the way purdy was a story last
14:18 Season Flacco if they really continue to do well, he's the comeback player of the year
14:24 No question about it. Well, there's also DeMar Hamlin because he
14:28 oh
14:30 Those two those two but Flacco would be the number two
14:33 They have one for offense and yeah what he's doing
14:36 I mean he could actually I was talking to Larry about it
14:39 He could win the Super Bowl this year have two Super Bowls, which to me is an automatic entrance into Ken
14:44 Except a lot of Jim Plunkett never got it. He should be in I don't like that
14:49 Which burns me up as the Stanford guy it burns me up every night
14:52 I wake up in the middle of the night. I think about that
14:54 I said Jim Plunkett should be in the hall of fame and I go back to sleep
14:57 You know, I like Jim Plunkett. We were there at this we didn't know each other
15:00 But we were there at the same time
15:01 I used to see him playing basketball in the gym and I would think that's Kim Plunkett Wow
15:06 Okay
15:11 Although now when we we don't I don't see him any of them anymore
15:18 But he was oh, I mean for a while we didn't get along and it probably my fault
15:21 But now it's hi lol
15:22 How you doing blah blah blah cuz we were Stanford at the same time and we knew the similar people
15:27 There's one more thing. Go ahead
15:30 Well, you say it
15:31 Well
15:32 There's one more team the Niners might not want to face in the AFs in the Super Bowl and this team may not even make
15:36 The playoffs but they also gonna be the number two seed the bills when Josh Allen. I
15:41 Think
15:44 Iggy, I think that's a really dangerous team and if they get into the playoffs
15:49 I think they could go all the way to the Super Bowl. First of all, they have a great quarterback. He's great
15:54 I don't put him at the level of my homes, but a little just a little below. Mm-hmm
16:00 He's a load when he's running he passes beautifully
16:04 I think it's a well coached team. I think they could really give the Niners a game
16:10 Really give him a game and I think you it would hmm a toss-up. I'm calling it that that game a toss-up
16:18 What do you think?
16:19 Yeah, I think that'd be a toss-up to that might be the team that not as want to face the least
16:22 Because I mean not only is Josh on a good quarterback
16:25 He runs well, and that team is running the ball well for the first time in years
16:28 They have they rank seventh and rushing yards and fifth and rushing touchdowns. So it's not just Josh Allen being a hero
16:35 They actually help him
16:37 That's a team they've won five of their last six that's a team
16:42 So what what I'm saying is there's a lot of drama for the Niners in the playoffs
16:48 But if they get to the Super Bowl the drama ratchets up
16:52 Another question needs to be answered. Can they beat an AFC team?
16:56 AFC North team are they NFC tough or there or the Niners NFL tough and that question would would be answered that day
17:04 Yeah, because I think the Bills
17:07 The Ravens the Browns and the Chiefs are NFL tough
17:12 No question
17:14 They're NFL tough. Yeah, I don't think the Dolphins are we didn't mention the Dolphins. Yeah, I write them off
17:20 I I don't think Iggy you explain something very interesting to me. First of all, I write them off their their AFC, but
17:26 their NFC tough Iggy
17:30 Carbaw ran the score up against them and you explained to me a working hypothesis
17:37 We don't know for sure. Would you share it because I loved what you said
17:41 well
17:43 The Dolphins ran the score up on Sean Payton
17:47 I believe part of the reason was because Sean Payton shot his mouth off about Nathaniel Hackett
17:53 right
17:54 Nathaniel Hackett is friends with Mike McDaniel and Robert Sala and Kyle Shanahan. They're all from the same tree
17:59 So I think it was them sort of getting back at the older guard for talking out of turn about Nathaniel Hackett
18:06 Okay, fine. They scored 70 now John Harbaugh faces
18:10 Mike McDaniel runs it up on him and I'm thinking is there a connection and there is
18:15 Sean Payton John Harbaugh coached together on the Eagles and I believe
18:21 1998 just for one year Sean Payton was the quarterback coach John Harbaugh was a special teams coach. They know each other
18:27 I'm sure they know each other quite well now and
18:29 He probably looks
18:33 Harbaugh at Peyton as being in his fraternity and McDaniel as not and
18:39 This that that was his opportunity at punch back
18:42 I'd say no question. It was the old guard saying to the new guard
18:46 You didn't invent football what you're gonna do to you and I don't like what you did to my friend
18:51 Right, and now you get it back. I love it. Now you get it back
18:55 So no, I I don't count that team in McDaniel's doing a good job, but I they're not gonna last
19:00 They're not gonna make it to the Super Bowl. I'd be shocked if they were to know
19:04 They can't make it to the AFC because they're not a FC tough. Unfortunately for them. They're NFC tough
19:08 You
19:10 (upbeat music)
19:13 (upbeat music)
