" Howard three DNC a patriot Monday it's the quarterback hour Tom riddle -- later in the hour. Size and joins us now good morning boomer how -- Good morning -- was -- don't out there you. You you almost had too much fun on the set yesterday I thought you were about this. Far away from completely losing it was Shannon what."

" Just -- you know America I don't know lower comes up an effort this stuff I swear to god he doesn't righted -- never throw that out there in the and the rehearsals she always told the packed him. You know yesterday's part of about it Indianapolis Colts beat Benson there's not enough Nelson -- something at home you restate those Home Depot comment -- blind. Keep the have you always -- was so what have found or something of the home -- yells yeah so it artist but no worries don't have the time and and I understand everywhere he says -- people sold them stamps and time -- you know I understand everything he says. I kept the inflection that he does that you know he's like standup comedian in our meetings so -- him to be very funny attracts as today that was one of those moments where almost lost that."

" You almost -- the second line the one right after that was it was equally if not more funny than the one before a win somebody said two to Shannon. Did Tom Brady breaking up with a girlfriend cause him to play badly and he said no -- breaking it would be odd ends up Brady to blame badly other credible offense."

" Until -- is dirty and he's spot on man he's not afraid to take anybody on he'll take. As a matter what do you play -- matter you know what background you lord of -- tight -- as the better pro linebacker for the manicure stoic head coach like Bill Parcells you'll you'll go after people but it all at a funny way I mean I don't to keep the meeting in any way and I've bottom could be really really on top Italy in the and and bill accepted very funny and I. I just I can't help -- you know when he says something that just takes me off guard I just bonds -- dispute myself just react to a -- have a good."

" Well -- clearly you've got the right sharp but be that as it may the pats took care of the ball yesterday and the quarterback zero turnovers one sack to penalties. Does that game even against Houston cure what ails the patriots with the late bloomer."

" Our topic sought to pick above a lot of work to do amendment I think number you'll be the first you have when he on the local later on. You know this a team that they should've beaten they came off provide embarrassing loss to Miami and like a professional football team should every should respond in time at home and that's exactly what they didn't doubt be exterior of the pitchers -- they have so many injuries right now and I mean major injuries that tied into the nose tackle to. A running back to your heart -- and Rodney Harrison. They they've got to get these guys back and they got to get him help these days you know this is this is going to be really wild wild two weeks now. I was not going to beat you next week injection on and they finish up in Tennessee you know there is a chance. That if they lose next week in the -- somehow beat the of the Miami Dolphins -- last week. Could go down to you know they lose to Tennessee in the jets win at home to Oakland 92 teams would be -- and -- and that I look at this on the you know on the internet on on -- at all -- I'm trying to figure out. What would happen if the unspeakable happen and they opened it up attendance 60 jets when the division I believe because of conference record they would be 75 inspectors beat six and six. A they would have split between each other that would before and I guess what or to each in the division. So -- you know there's not been met -- beat given right now and I think that Tom Brady afterward if you saw the post game press covers the country did. You know today we're -- about our team here the next two weeks goes both of those games on the road Jackson goes -- target there's not going to be easy eliminate they -- the Livan crap out of Tennessee -- there's just that their quarterback. Basically you know made some bonehead plays and that's David Barton and play without erratic young player like there's -- he's going to have games like that. But they've got -- but -- throughout the next week because Jacksonville's -- this thing and they I'm sure they're going to support their best effort much like when when did just."

" It is it just as hard for you to to gauge what to look ahead and and try to figure out what's going to happen with the jaguars week to week is it is for us because he. I think it's the worst circumstance for the patriots day totally -- played Tennessee and lost another home and and their fight for their lives it doesn't look like that the patriots are going to go win their and catch the gen Wesley person."

" Another nodded and their deep -- one of the best defenses in the -- country going to be here in about that all week this week. I think -- after the passer you know question of the going to be able to protect operated companies could do that against Houston at home with difficult to do that on the road in Jacksonville. You know can give a guy to open down downfield what is the injury status of Watson would've been -- status of -- boring nobody knows the minutes these -- get -- information at a pentagon about Iraq that it is about injuries in New England so. Nobody knows about what the you know immediate future for those players old but I would say that. That you know right now and maybe public but for the pitchers to really one of the better teams in the NFL right now they are just kind of went into the finish line here and Indians are going to be an easy punishment and so they're going to get their guys healthy. They gotta play better off balance you know yesterday notwithstanding and it's going to be really interest in these final two weeks."

" Do you think they have the wide receiving corps. That you need that it to advance in the playoffs to win the AFC to get to the Super Bowl."

" Into I don't know I don't think so I mean I they're not. It right now awaited their planning -- injured and speed up -- they are you know they're not as good as and it won't Baltimore -- Arkansas likes to them beating Indianapolis elected to the beating Cincinnati Denver. I don't know about Jackson -- just because it's on the rodent to -- could be sent to remember Jackson vote in the have a little revenge on it's on its mind simply because of -- first round playoff games so and the two teams could meet again in the playoffs in the first round assuming that. Jacket they do win next week in the New England -- last week against Tennessee and we won't hold -- to the or spot. And they'll post the number five rated team mentality -- we get number five and jump over Cincinnati or Denver but. Now there's still so many scenarios -- spoke on year ought to tell you is that you know we England got the it's got to spark played better offensively I think -- but we they'll keep their they'll keep themselves in games but the offensively is you know -- they've really have to start development I'm not impressed by yesterday's game because it was against Houston and you would expect them do"

" world when people say Jacksonville plays up or down to the opponents level. I understand what that means what's the basis of that how does that happen of the football team that they can look so bad against the bad team and so good against a good team."

" Well -- erratic quarterback you know that's that stated roar of purity of races -- mean yesterday. With the exception of his interceptions and pac man Jones that exploits remain you know they -- they basically beat the heck editor of city bombing and 99 you aren't the ball right in our own building you know Vince young did not think yesterday Travis Henry did not -- yesterday I mean it was basically it was the pac -- Jones and David -- show. And anywhere near record commitments they -- to attack -- was there -- the difference in the football games so you have a young inconsistent not a very good quarterback. And when -- on the road they're going to struggle saw that I think they'll lose in the first round left about a where -- ago whether it be they'd make the plasma to be you know at Indianapolis or Baltimore or to England so I I think that's why they're like that that's why they're up and down so they'll be ready next week I guarantee you they'll be ready their defense will be ready to -- that keeps him in every game other relatively healthy I don't know what their injury report looks like as of yesterday's game but they're good team they're good solid -- that the team and they can run the football. And that Jones drew -- channel like all right pocket Hercules you know is really -- very talented young player."

" They of the three big name patriots that have been out for a couple weeks Moroni the running back watts in the tight -- will for the nose tackle which one has the most impact which you think they'd like to get back first and foremost."

" Well PS built or up elbow particularly -- pentagon you want -- not -- stuck you what you want the big guy and a middle man you'd you'd need to have him in the middle especially. A late this season because you want to have a quality run oriented he spent when he want to stop the other team's money game. You don't want -- allow them you know third and short to want to forced them in third long that's -- deepens Portsmouth did internal and the manager told that he would be number one Lawrence grown it would probably be number two because he's a changeup guys like when he's healthy it is risky get healthier now. And he can add that little jolt at all and so pick a lot of pressure off a nominal give them different dimension in the backfield. And then finally been Watson but you know you might want to -- and -- before run a bit because -- so important to the passing game which when he's not there is basically pretty limited -- confident that the people yesterday the NAFTA like David Carr is given always for trial."

" We're at we're working on finding film from these alleged four victories the Texans I don't believe that -- and his one thing I I find shocking. Coming into this game David Carr had 76 on the year -- he has the approval 14 yesterday so -- up but as usual total but. He's -- was completed 70% of his passes it to we just see a bad day for David cars -- not that bad."

" Well you know what you're the billion of their new coaches -- could be accurately open court and -- Denver and -- ever got Jake Plummer it was a reclamation project tell you not to throw interceptions public the big mistakes of for the most part my -- and -- really good job. In kind of reclaiming whoever Jake Plummer was when he first got into the league and -- settled him down and taught him that you know don't turn the football comic mistakes but. He's obviously not the plan that he -- indicative Super Bowl but nonetheless he was somewhat successful -- I think that's what they're trying to -- with David Cora looked David. Don't turn the football -- was a bad day program but you gotta gotta put a lot of points on the port you know he's not a guy I think that. I don't part of Charlie casserly who was there are you know GM which drafted David part of that of course really that -- you like them just -- hang out -- hang out the guys in the team is not one of the guys. Agassi can do commercials -- often the lineman not. A guy who really gets his fingernails dirty with the team in the team needs somebody like that that's while we sit the most important -- quarterback and have the number ones compliments number two. It is you know real closeness -- teammates that they have a policeman and he can win games for them and certainly be used an excuse to not have that dated all the."

" They had to do it all over again with they'd take bush or Vince young or Matt liner to."

" Take Matt liner at the they would pick amount -- in army Reggie bush is going to be right up there for eagle rookie the year and rightfully so as we get to -- actors can be real interest in -- what happens -- but open to repeat the year but. I still say about Leonard as the most polished you know pajamas still plan by the seat of despair I mean he's still doing things you know and reacting because he's not really sure what's going on -- I know that because I've talked of people we talked to people comment. You know down in Tennessee so I know he's still got some issues down there and you know he's going to have to take his offseason work habits really seriously the continued -- but as forest now honored -- I think he's the real deal sort of look like now also that colors the real deal of well you know on penalties only come down an -- game against parents don't have but it took a that you don't want of those players would have been in the -- that you should take him."

" They -- deal buy into the let down theories enough from the elite team but the teams in the middle the pack because when you look at New Orleans that a very emotional and important win over Dallas. I get beat by Washington and Miami closed the patriots and knocks them on their but 11 nothing and goes to buffalo and loses 21 nothing how else can explain that."

" Parity you know parity injuries you know depending on who your planning and how they're playing when you do play them. -- Washington won't think -- that may Sean Payton said last night after the game is that you don't want what you would sleep walk out of a football dynamic. It's a shame because -- really -- Drew Brees had a shot you know put him up on BP but -- lot of -- it could be the first -- in history. That a guy win the MVP on all ballots now would be it would -- Tomlinson because now he is clearly separated himself from everybody in the league and an aunt who watched performer but I saw that. But I I I would say that that it can all lot of this is human nature a lot of -- You know it's the parity league it's oh -- that you know every team possesses there -- Scherer of a quality players and I think there always says and I'm sure coach belichick would echo that sentiment most coaches probably would. That you know the other team gets paid to and it based start believing that they can win in the particular game and they're going to take you to which -- going to beat -- to that would suggested that the patriots you know and we see it all around the league every week where these teams also hadn't gained confidence in these one particular game and they ride to the occasion the other teams all -- game and they lose so that's what parity breed and that's what we are where we are which we don't -- season."

" One thing I can't believe that we know the NFC's Mets than they don't deserve any wild cards but I I can't believe that -- it's. Still alive after afflicted been eliminated like five different times -- Coughlin survive."

" I think that that meant that guy he's going to be pulled a -- up now I mean. Holy Michael this well wins -- do you like to but they're seven and seven there's this six seat right now with NFC playoffs which is amazing to me which would mean I guess that they would have to go to the Dallas Cowboys to the playoffs started today -- probably too real there would play New Orleans that get a point given nor on like how good it won't I don't even know I mean who. But I was about the playoffs start but I would say that it's it's. Are like the prime example what this league is about one week they look great to go to Carolina they beat them all right we never season turnaround. And then they come back they take the lead in the fourth quarter everything looked good and then all hell breaks loose and they're deep sense you know all apartment he liked rose -- return for a touchdown they fumbled the penalties. You know when they hard Tom Coughlin down and -- a lot of foul called on supporters apparently the boss and the right which should be good -- guys really. The quality orient boat which use all emotional let his team right now. Completely loses its its focus in half -- ball games and make these huge mistakes in Normal when he took over the job. After the departure of -- you know this team is going to be you know what team that is -- on discipline and focus were not going to have finally internal as well. That's why there's evidence but most of the --"

" If if they could do it over again when they just draft. Philip Rivers."

" I mean I I don't think you lies that -- announced that he's actually pretty good quarterback you know he was tied with Peyton Manning in the in terms of his brother in terms of in a touchdown passes he rowand coming into this weekend -- You know a lot of pressure on him down here I mean everybody's got to a point of view it and everybody wants take issue with how we -- personally you know comes off the country -- And you know New Yorkers like and what you Alou when he loses he gives those. Reasons why they lose in the kind of an ally answers about little -- he has you know that they they all kind of like. What turned off by that I mean and that's help Philly gets -- New York but I. I think he's got to eat it Shockey Tiki Barber is curse everybody to parker everybody wants to get an interview everybody a -- sources say help of the eagles can't cover me this week's summit only crazy things but yet to deal with -- I think that he much would've rather gone San Diego you know don't say it's a common in New York."

" All right it's boomers Monday Night Football -- put pick of the week rocky but peak of the week rob do you by DC -- digital federal credit union it is Cincinnati at Indianapolis tonight and on the three boring I can tell you that."

" I actually guardado Leicester there was a 4537 game which Indianapolis while I'm hopeful be that way but it is insides go to that the chance to turn into an arena football in Mario that I don't but I'm not a big believer in the sense -- angle on peaked at this point -- Britain want only about 17 points the last three weeks. Well they play against Oakland Cleveland and Baltimore Baltimore wall they're pretty good team not a great offensive team and they don't get points of the other team does -- they don't turn the ball which has since I -- do against the so I think tonight. And not my paychecks based CBS and they say Westbrook would one I don't say the Cincinnati Bengals and to the bagels don't have alt fan more ring of honor in their stadium on going against them. I don't get them because I think Peyton Manning is actually going to have you know one of those games where it should be special and -- the ball going to be home back and forth up the field but I think Indianapolis once again. And I think they they get back to the number two seed which is really important to them they'll give them a week off."

" So they pull out of their tailspin tonight."

" I think they well I think they well -- him I think the bagels and still make the playoffs they can lose this game and while would affect them a little -- they're not going to win their division and are going to -- the Baltimore ravens."

" All right that's the money -- pick of the week brought to you by DC -- proud supporter of the bloomer asides and foundation fighting cystic fibrosis but banking to DC UN go to DC you'd dot org for more information good -- with -- boomer and we're actually off the next two weeks -- merry christmas to you."

" Yes merry christmas you guys -- and make sure you don't spit on each other."

" As a possible opted to make it donation to the a size and foundation for christmas would that be easy to do how would you do that."

" All you to do go to aside from dot org and there's there's area busily there that a people like the explanation I can. War they can not support their local cystic fibrosis chapter and in in in and around Boston and and or they can support the local children's hospital cystic fibrosis setter so you know we're all in this together overall -- Madison where Macon great strides in banquet at WBI and TCU we've been we've been very look at those types supporters of the in the Boston area aren't."

" Have you enjoyed boomer over the course of the year you elect to bud show your support a size and dot or a science and -- a --"

" That's exactly right I'd rather like -- yeah there's a link on the air -- that they it will take donations."

" Excellent have good crisp we'll talk to -- tomorrow. Okay guys all right politicize that would Dennison --"
