  • if Alex Smith is healthy, I'm gonna take the Washington football team because I'm a hopeless romantic because I cry when I watch movies because I'm an emotional guy and I want that.

  • So that's why that's the way Armageddon and Bruce Willis is having that interaction.

  • I'll cry.

  • It just That's how I'm wired.

  • So I want to start with Alex Smith winning that division.

  • Listen like here's the thing.

  • The only reason that they have this must win game in this weekend against Philly is because Dwayne Haskins did not take advantage of his opportunity because he was childish with his behavior and didn't play good enough against two football teams that that team could have beaten could have beaten because their defense was solid enough.

  • So if Alex Smith is healthy, I trust in his veteran experience.

  • I trust that he'll do the right things with the football.

  • Paul, get the football to guys like Antonio Gibson.

  • I need Terry McLaurin to be healthy as well, but I believe that he's built to go play one really good football game against the defense in Philadelphia.

  • That's beat up Charlie.

  • The really interesting thing is that Cowboys fans need to become incredibly big Eagles fans that that's the reality, like the Cowboys have toe win.

  • But then they have to become huge Eagles fans and hope that they beat the Washington football team to get in.

  • So, um, the Cowboys, they're fooling themselves to thinking that they're good.

  • The Eagles needed to lose for them to have a reality check.

  • The Giants.

  • Daniel Jones is health, and performance has been so up and down, I trust the steady hand of Alex Smith and the Washington football team winning Come.

  • Yeah, well, I think that if you like to cry during movies, then this is your perfect division.

  • Because this is the E Mo division of it.

  • Of all the football, it's very drink life.

  • Sometimes you laugh at him.

  • Sometimes you cry what you know.

  • Now, baby, that division is pathetic.

  • I'm gonna pick the Cowboys, I guess, because who knows?

  • They got the most talented, their most exciting players in their receiving corps.

  • They've got some players on defense, even though we've discussed this before, I said on get up several times that their defense stinks like earring backs, which is who, If you don't know man that is a problem.

  • They can't play well on both sides of the ball on either side of the ball.

  • So I do think that I'm criticizing them.

  • But I'm picking them toe win because I don't have much faith than anybody else.

  • The quarterback situation and Washington is bad because we have one quarterback who's kind of playing on one leg and another quarterback who doesn't seem tohave it, who by all accounts and all things that he's shown, feels like a bust in the league right now.

  • Maybe something else will happen, but it's hard to root for them and the Eagle situation.

  • They're just too far out of it.

  • This situation is bad for the entire division.

  • Who knows?

  • They're in a competition to see who can get embarrassed in the playoffs.

  • But I guess you get that one week of playoff checks.

  • That's what you're playing for, getting at one more week of checks to get in the playoffs so you can go lose to another team in a real division somewhere.

  • Yeah, man.

  • I mean, you boys did a good job, man.

  • You boys did a good job trying.

  • I think I think Dan talking about his M O stories and listen, I cried the other night.

  • Me and my daughters watch the fault in our stars, and I already saw it before and I knew exactly what was gonna happen.

  • Toe Augustus and I still cried like that.

  • But that's how I feel when I watch the Dallas Cowboys.

  • When I watched the Eagles, or when I watch Washington when I watch New York like I feel that way like I don't even I don't even get the good part of the Drake song that Dominic is talking about.

  • You know?

  • I mean, the only part I do get that we took a trip.

  • Now we back on your block and it's like a ghost town baby like that's what the NFC East is.

  • It's a ghost town.

  • It's it's it's devoid of good football teams.

  • And so, you know, Dan is picking off of emotion.

  • Dominique is picking off of recency bias because we actually saw the Dallas Cowboys play good.

  • I don't know, like I have absolutely no idea.

  • And what's crazy is like we change right every week because this division is so bad.

  • We change week to week, and this week, the Dallas Cowboys looked like the best team because they were the only team that won.

  • And we've had so many weeks of the NFC East, where it's the only team that wins, and we suddenly jump on them because no one has wins.

  • And so now when you think about the Washington football team, you say to yourself, This team, at least at one point, seemed to be built the best for consistency.

  • They could rush you up front that had two talented veteran corners, and they had a quarterback that wasn't turning the ball over, and that could lead.

  • They don't have that no more.

  • You don't know if they will have that going into next week.

  • And then when Daniel Jones was healthy, when that defense was playing well, Joe Judge was coaching.

  • You had them competing every week, you said, If Daniel Jones and Goldman and out for Morris and Dion Lewis can't get continue this run game that this team could win well, Daniel Jones is hurt, and now he's Daniel Jones with the gimpy leg like little mode from from home alone.

  • And so, no, you don't know about them either.

  • And so when you watch these teams is just constant and constant hopelessness, constant and constant sadness like nothing good ever happens.

  • And so I don't have a pick.

  • I'm not gonna pick.

  • If I pick, I could be right.

  • I could be wrong.

  • It don't matter because it ain't my job to be a prophet or psychic.

  • Anyway, this division is bad.

  • Here's what I do know ever wins it.

  • Whoever wins it, their quarterback, their starting quarterback can be a guest on first take the next week because they won't be playing on that Sunday.

  • There's my prediction.

  • Home alone is another.

  • It's a tear jerker, too, and this division is full of wet bandits all over the place, getting played and embarrassed.

  • Bye bye bye, McCauley.

  • But I do think I watched soul this weekend.

  • If you guys looking for another tear jerker it was It was a tough one.

  • I got to the end was getting a little weepy, but yeah, this division is a shame.

  • You're right that we're not paid to be.

  • Profits were paid toe be analysts, and Dan and I are trying to analyze, but we can't.

  • We're showing the best weekend, but you did a good job.

  • There are just telling the truth.

  • Don't nobody know.

  • All we know is they're gonna lose.

  • What do you think?

  • This divisions, It's really bottom feeders.

  • And the reality is, they all started at the bottom.

  • Now we're here.

  • It's just that they're here.

  • Isn't that good?

  • Right there.

  • Here.

  • Isn't that good?

  • Eso I'm a end with this.

  • You know, I came in today and I wanted to make you feel good.

  • I wanted to make you feel good.

  • And I said that, like, I see you looking like Morris Chestnut tonight.

  • But I want to make sure that you keep it really, really?

  • That even though you look like Moe Chestnut, you don't look like Shemar Moore and the brothers.

  • So although you're feeling yourself, don't feel yourself that much.

  • Well, I mean, it depends on who the audience is.

  • I think most people would prefer the deepness of Morris Chestnut.

  • No, just that over one of them Shalimar.

  • Guys, I'm just saying more jaw line we need you don't got his jaw line.

  • E I love how you twisted that lyric to away.

  • No one else has before started at the bottom.

  • Now we hear because look, no matter who wins the division, they will be winning it with a losing record.

  • That has only happened twice before in NFL history with the 2010 Seahawks in the 2014 Panthers.
