FIRST TAKE | No team is SCARIEST than Seahawks right now! – Mad Dog slams Stephen A. picks Cowboys

Back on first take. Look at that. There is Southern Steve in his glory. The Chilies were here yesterday. No, two days ago. We bet we banked that. Cowboys are on a roll, winning their past three games to put themselves back into playoff contention. Their defense has stepped up since the trade deadline. Dak Prescott continues to play at a high level and now they’ll look to continue to climb against the Lions on Thursday Night Football. The Cowboys are allowing 21 points per game during their three-game win streak, ranking 16th in the NFL in that span. Prior to this stretch, the defense was giving up over 30 points a game, only ranked ahead of the Bengals. Peter Shreger is here now. Peter, hello, Peta. Uh, how many teams are scarier than the Cowboys right this second? I think they’re the scariest team in the NFC right now. I think that every team is looking at them and saying, “Please, let’s keep them out of the final seven. We don’t want to face them in the playoffs. And we were at this very table a few weeks ago when they made the moves. And I said, “The next three weeks are going to define Dak Prescott and define this season.” They’re two for three. They got to finish the deal on Thursday. They really have a shot. But as much as we know the Cowboys rate, we want to talk Cowboys. Cowboys. Cowboys. I got a team that I kind of like a little bit more right now, and it’s a team that not anybody’s talking about, and they’re the ones up there in the Rocky Mountains. Denver Broncos just win games. Denver Broncos just win games. They are the first team since the Bill Parcel’s 1986 New York Giants to win four games in a row by less than three points. They are a defensive team that has a quarterback that seems to make the big plays when it matters and they have an incredible homefield advantage. As much as we’re crowning the Cowboys and we’re crowning the Patriots, I would tell you this, watch out for this Denver defense. I know Houston Texans get all the spotlight. Nick Bonito, Pat Sertan, Cooper, all of them. They step up. Love Zack Allen up front. This is the team that has a quarterback who has made all the plays this year and a head coach who has won the big one before. Denver Broncos starting off this 11 a.m. hour. I don’t think anyone saw that coming. Russo, the scariest team right now. Yes. I don’t want to face them right now. No. They have a defense and they have a team that has an uncanny way to win when it matters most. Okay. What do you think, Marcus Spears? Do you agree with Shrakes? No, I I do not. Uh I don’t think you said Dallas is the best team in the NFC. I don’t think that either. I think the Rams are even after the loss to Carolina. I think the three turnovers were an anomaly for Matthew Stafford and that football team. Here’s the thing, man. Dallas right now in the NFC is one of the top three teams in the NFC based on how they played. The New England Patriots are the best team in football. The metric tells you they top 10 on defense, offense, and special teams, which is going to be something that obviously is going to come into play when we start talking about teams going through the playoffs. I like Denver. I also watched the Washington Commanders go up and down the field with the backup quarterback against the Denver Broncos. Would be Marcus Mario. Absolutely. I also saw earlier in the season them have to score 33 points in the fourth quarter against the Giants. No doubt they have their flaws, but they also to your point finish games defensively phenomenal. Both Knicks is clutch coming through. The beauty of the league now and and and look this thing can go up and down and go in flux every week. Beauty of the league now, there is no dominant team. There is not one. There’s not. If you tell me a team in the NFL is dominant, I don’t know what you basing it off of because we’ve seen each and every one of them look really good and really bad. The Chicago Bears are number one in the NFC. And don’t nobody think the Chicago Bears going to win the Super Bowl. Chill out. Like, okay, Shay, come on now. You just said there’s no dominant team. That’s the point. That’s the whole point. There’s no dominant team. Why wouldn’t they have any You think the Bears going to win the Super Bowl? I I wouldn’t go that far, but I’m It’s anyone. My exact but my exact point is you don’t believe the Dallas Cowboys will. You don’t believe the Philadelphia Eagles will. You don’t believe a lot of team the Tampa Bay Buccaneers were on fire earlier this year. I know they went through some injuries. You can’t make name one. Right. The team that you’ve seen consistency from is in the AFC and they play at Gillette Stadium. That’s the one team you’ve seen consistent from. Now, if you want to tell me about the schedule, don’t have a problem with that. If you want to tell me about their young and the quarterback has not been in the playoffs, I’m cool with that. Mike Vrabel and this staff with what I saw Monday night has a team that can absolutely win this. Let me push back and ask you something. Yep. They have a by-week which is perfectly timed for them. That’s awesome. They play Buffalo coming out of that buy at home in a game that you’d think, hey, if you’re really the best team, that is a shirt and hat game. You are AFC East champions doing that. Absolutely. And you think they could beat Josh Allen again? 100%. I 100% think they can be Josh Allen again. I listen that that is so you go to Buffalo and win with your young quarterback that we don’t know now like we knew him then, right? We didn’t know that this was going to be Drake May’s season. Yeah, basically go into Buffalo, you win that game. This team has gotten better every single week. You got to tell me the team that you think has gotten better every single week. I’ve had no I’ve had no issues with how New England has played football. the LA what they on 11 games now this their 11th win of the season we’ve seen teams lose to bad team Carolina just beat the Rams who I think is the best in the NFC they are not losing games and they are not losing games because they are actually dominating a lot of phases of these games I got the Patriots right now as number one team in the league filibustering again huh okay I just had to respond it’s a good it’s a good strategy I’m gonna shut it down though here’s the deal the answer to this question is Dallas Peter’s I got to confess that. And here’s the reason why. Because the offense is so prolific. When you look at the Dallas Cowboys, forget how their defense is looking right now, which is obviously considerably better than what it has looked. The interesting part about the Dallas Cowboys is that you’re saying their defense doesn’t have to be great, just average, because their offense is that prolific. When you use the word scary, that is scary. when your offense is so prolific and everybody in their grandmama knows it that your defense could be the middle of the row. That’s all we asking for. We ain’t asking you to be We ain’t asking you to be Ray Lewis and T Sizzle and those boys and Ed Reed and those boys. We ain’t asking you to be the Bears of 85. We ain’t asking you to be the the the Giants with Strahan and the crew and OCU in those. We’re not asking for all of that. All we’re ask All we’re asking you to be is average because our offense is that damn lethal. The word scary applies when that’s the narrative about your franchise. We got Cowboys, we got Broncos, Patriots. Where you going? I’m going to take San Francisco. And one thing I’m going to Yeah. What do you mean what? Let’s hear this. They won at Seattle. They won at the Rams. Do you see their schedule? And by the way, Swagu, I love you like a son, but take it easy with the Patriots. They beat Buffalo on the road and at Tampa and that is it. They have done nothing. Those teams they play stink. The Giants stink. The Jets stink. Miami stinks. Take it easy. Let me see them do something. San Francisco. They’re 9 and4. Okay. In a division they’re 4- one with Seattle at home. They won in Seattle. They won in LA against the Rams. They have a byee. Their schedule. They’re going to beat Tennessee. That’s 10. They have Seattle at home. They play at the coast and their last game is the Bears at home. They’re going to go three and one. San Francisco is going to end up 12 and five and they could win the division. They’re going to have a better record in their division than the Rams are going to have. And San Francisco, he is a not a good coach. Great coach. He is a tre. He’s the second best coach in football. McVey won him too. I don’t think there’s any question about he is that good. Shanahan wins with Matt Jones. He’s absolutely fabulous until Super Bowls. But go ahead. All right. He lost two close games, Steve. take it easy. You got him. He got him handling Indie, Chicago, and Seattle. You got him. You got to win. That indie game is a Monday night game on the road and he’s got Tennessee. So, yes, he’s going to beat the Bears. He’s going to beat the Bears and he’s going to beat Seattle last game of the year. And he’s going to beat Tennessee. That’s 12 and five minimum. Even if I give you a loss, even if I give you one in Indianapolis, perie’s healthy. They got a great They got a Hall of Fame tight end. McCaffry is a Hall of Fame running back. They got a Hall of Fame left tackle. He’s look what they did in Cleveland. They should have beat they they beat the Rams in LA. They killed Seattle. San Francisco does not get enough respect. Be careful. And I’ll tell you something else. Football team. I’ll tell you something else. And banged up. He wins road games. Still winning. He wins road games. He won in Lambo against Rogers. He won in Dallas against Prescott when Dallas when Doc didn’t know the rule about giving the board to the official on the last play of the game. Shanahan wins road games. I’ll tell you right now. Scariest team in the NFL. Chanahan was also an offensive coordinator with a 28 point lead in the Super Bowl and then and forgot and forgot to run forgot what a clock looks like. Let’s not forget Let’s not forget the head coach. Yeah, you always bring up history. You always bring up history. I’m surprised that you you don’t bring that up. You don’t bring that up cuz you got Jones and Matt Ryan. He’s been there two Super Bowls and I lost both of them. He’s and lost both of them. You basing this off per being back? I’m basing this on the culture of the team. No. Fred Warner culture of the team proven they can overcome them. Is he a Hall of Fame running back? He’s McAffrey. Yes, absolutely. Is he they have a Hall of Fame tight end? Yes, George. Do they have a Hall of Fame left tackle? Yes. Yes. They got three Hall of Famers on offense. And Shanahan is a not a good coach. He is a great coach. They’ve already won in Seattle. They already beat the Rams. They got an easy schedule with a buy. Don’t sleep. Don’t look at me. Don’t leave. Dopey. Look, it’s just the word scary. We got them as the scariest. Yeah. Scary like means you could sling it all over the yard. You could put up points on I don’t feel like we don’t know what scary means. For that, you saying what scary means to you? That’s what it means to you. New England is scary. I’m saying New England is scary. I think I think the Patriots are scary. I think the Niners are scary. The Patriots are scary, bro. I’m telling you, the Ners are not scary. They are. You like my Broncos. My Broncos are a good team. You want to see you want to see this go in your building in a playoff game. I wouldn’t want to see that.
