Crazy right wildcard weekend. The way that major league baseball intended it, and a full slate of NFL games starting with London town across the pond that might've been the best of the early games, especially considering now that the NFC East is probably the toughest division football. I mean, I didn't really call it the soap opera of the NFL, but I'm I just had to change my tune because it appears to be the toughest division in football now okay. Of course, as I start the show and my microphone goes on my monitor dies awesome. It's a good thing I have notes for every game, though I could still use that monitor that would be awesome.

I may not be able to tweet or be able to connect with you on twitter because Maunder just went completely black.

So on that note is live radio and you know it's super fun all the bids after hours with 80 lords on CBS sports radio and we are live from the rocket mortgage Studios when you need cash out of your home and a simple way to get it rocket can. So here we are. We are through the wild-card round so baseball just real quickly because we are about to get your divisional theories so they take a breather on Monday right so there were a bunch of surprises. This weekend will you only had one of the theories go to 1/3 game and that was the Mets and the Padres actually day. I just Egypt play audio to worry about it. I don't know what happened to producer JK made her try to fix my monitor but it appears to be dead so it looks like it's on nothing on it just went completely black, so it may actually be that the monitor from 1984. Literally just died.

Of course, right at the second that I need whatever there were still baseball and there were still football and I'm still gonna figure it out. Padres and Matt went to a game three that was it. The other three theories were done on Saturday. Now I will say selfishly, I was actually a little bit relieved because there was so much football today that I'm not sure if my brain or my writing hand could've handled another three baseball teams, but obviously for major league baseball what they most wanted was to see all of these theories go the distance. Instead, what were left with are the four division theories that began coming up on Tuesday, so here's your schedule. You've got the Braves hosting the Phillies so there's one divisional matchup that the early game in Atlanta on Tuesday. That's followed by another divisional matchup. The Mariners and the Astros out of the AL West vented to the guardians and the Yankees to teams who came from completely opposite ends of the spectrum to be in the division theories that the first of the night's followed by the Padres and the Dodgers yet another division theories interesting right. There is no love lost among three of the four series you got divisional battles. These teams know each other so well.

They face each other 19 times during the regular season until all four theories will start on Tuesday. They always do that because coming off of a football weekend baseball wants to try to avoid the clashes with football and start fresh in the night when there is no NFL so that your Tuesday morning to get to the ultimate moments from each of the series, and as I say, three of them ended on Saturday, but there was one that was still under the lights on Sunday evening. San Diego native Joe Musgrove one-hit winey hit at Citi Field against the Mets. He throws seven innings of scoreless baseball for his hometown Padres.

The team that he grew up loving, not even a check of his glove, his hands any errors requested by Buck Showalter could throw him off his game, so he goes seven innings of scoreless baseball.

He was brilliant. There were some incredible pitching performances over the weekend. Aaron Nolan comes to mind as well.

But this was brilliant in a winner go home game.

Joe Musgrove did everything he possibly could to make sure the Padres could win this game and the bats also showed up again.

Nola is grounded through the left side and a base. Bill is on his way home game is right behind you to run battles single for Austin Nola and the Padres strike force to do nothing during the second and one on Fitch's line to center field surveys. Jim rounding third to come in and score nibbles throat was cut off by Alonso Rick Grissom strikes again an RBI single to increase the lead three nothing Padres in the fourth hard-hit line drive in the right field and abuse is backdated by Morte in the gap for will round third and come home and they manufacture another run. Here the management Giotto, an RBI single little or nothing.

Padres lead in the fifth. Morte swung on credit slowly to third many charges is now plays the hot from the first is time in the Padres of not only capture the moment they have Through the wild-card series and it's on the Los Angeles game one of the LDS Tuesday night at dodger Stadium.

There will be playoff baseball vehicle parked in 2022 and actually will be the first hole playoff game and action for the Padres in front of their fans. In 16 years they played in 2020 against the Cardinals of I remember correctly, but there were no fans there because that was the playoff run in which fans were barred except for the World Series in Texas and so they get to play against the Dodgers, a team that had their number pretty frequently over the past what year and 1/2 two years by a win is a win is a win is a win and Bob Melvin a big piece of that with a lineup that changed at the trade deadline.

Pieces were brought in. They didn't yell right away but he was certainly a calling forth with a lot of experience you get in so you strive for is something you deserve to celebrate.

This is a different level.

Here is a really tough venue to play against a really good team so to take it to another level. I think certainly feels a lot better when the actual grade about his room. You will take this thing home and have a playoff series in front of our friends in San Diego and can't wait to see him. Can't wait to get back third of the deserve all while the team leader trust them a lot more now Musgrove with a dominant performance and the Padres bats do just enough as you are with Jesse Adler on Padres radio will hear from the Mets as we spend more time on baseball later in the show because there are certainly some stunning and quick exits.

Don't know how I feel about the wild-card weekend.

I like the back of compact, because I was a big fan of the one in John in the wild-card and I like the way the baseball stack it up but man is cool the case of the table a raise Mandeville like they did.

They did have opportunities in an Brazilian strikeout between them and the guardians again, number two, but the race it was so quick we never knew he the Toronto Blue Jays.

The way that they got behind early and actually give the Mariners credit for jumping on Alec Manoa and on the way the Mariners used all the confidence from the last month to just pounce on them and how about the Phillies there pitching in St. Louis. Specially Aaron Nola.

But think about them with their six runs in the ninth inning on Friday night. These were powerful, damaging blows by the visiting teams in every series, except for Cleveland like their opponents never heard in those other three theories. So just really interesting that the personality in the makeup of this weekend. I think I like it.

It's just it's a lot with football. So as I say selfishly I'm okay with being able to spend as much time as I did on baseball club Saturday the after hours there on CBS sports radio.

You can find me on Twitter a little radio and then also on her Facebook page were glad happy with as a Hope you had a good weekend. All my gosh mine was the most boring ever housework yardwork cooking to try to get ready for what's coming this weekend. Sometimes it is not nearly as much fun to be a responsible adult. I wish I was in. But that's just not my life in October is cool. Well, you know, it's crazy.

It's nonstop a tactic. It's chaotic. It's exactly the way we like it will get back to baseball. But why do we jump into football with Sunday night in Baltimore the last two times the ravens have posted games in Baltimore M and T Bank Stadium.

I love driving by there when it's all lit up and purple.

They coughed up big lead double figure leads in the fourth quarter. They've not been able to protect a lead so actually got nervous for them when they were ahead 10.

Nothing in the second quarter. I can't be the only one who thought oh no, here we go again. So marketers touchdown puts them up to nothing but that a lumbar interception sports what had been a relatively dormant Cincinnati offense to that point, there is an 83 yard drive and Hayden Hearst Did with a 19 yard touchdown catch and after the bangles are able to rush a field goal onto the board before the half their time there tight intent like that a lumbar interception, flips the script and that 10 point lead is gone in a flash. Now in the fourth quarter we see Baltimore and John Harbaugh make a critical decision there deep in the red zone into the territory, but they take the field goal to go up 16 to 10 now those two field goals that gave them the six points of the second half were wrapped around a Cincinnati Drive also took the ravens excuse me the bangles into the red zone so not only was I listening to Westwood One with Brian Radke that you hear there but also had the TV on and as I was moving around the house. Get ready to come into work and I heard both Chris Collinsworth Ross Tucker that you a list for TV and radio mention hey and Anna paraphrasing Joe Burrell you're not Lamar Jackson, you're not Patrick Holmes that plays a little bit too cute for your skill set is essentially what they were saying that they put him in a position and actually made out to bid him, but ultimately the path in the play that he settled on was not one that took advantage of his skill set. It was not one that was in his repertoire. If you well and later right after that we see Zach Taylor chasing down Leo Collins, who, as they kind of explained that Chris Collinsworth explained it may have been the one who didn't block in the direction he was supposed to and that could have thrown off the entire play but obviously Joe Burrell made the decision to throw that odd looking non-Joe Burrell like pass it after hours here on CBS sports radio so Baltimore goes for a field goal on the next drive after the defense stops the bangles the defense with a critical stop deep then instead of going for the touchdown. The ravens decide to settle settle for the field goal right so there's still plenty of time on the clock and this time the bangles are determined to find paydirt some of the pile of spikes to hold back the Lord wanted world what you're still rule 1616 G with next report Cincinnati going. They did make the extra points of the bangles are able to put the nose in front of Baltimore will read talking about. It wasn't a fourth-quarter glass but once again double figure. Lee just disappears. As the bangles go 75 yards through eight minutes they had the ball for two minutes. How do you keep Lamar Jackson from hurting you.

You make sure he's watching from the sidelines. The go-ahead touchdown is a Joe Burrell rush, not some weird oddly angled shovel pass that gets knocked down.

Joe finishes with a couple of touchdowns and an interception.

But it's a two minute drill for Baltimore and they have got to incredible weapons in crunch time Mark Andrews who moved a lot like a Travis Kelsey read the two of them are so quick and fleet of foot gray body control that use the angles and they know their quarterback so well and I Lamar scramble here scrambled up the middle around the side and what they do well. They set up the best kicker in the game or have Scout will have a whole operating system talking, not your computers and phones your internal human operating system and feeling a little overloaded. Here's how you can ease my stress. Close your eyes are soft wikis at something in front of you.

Brush your teeth had said often when we wake up our brains go into planning mode which leads to overthinking and stress before had even reached the pillow something simple like brushing your teeth can break that cycle and jumpstart your day. This tip was brought to you by better help online therapy which connects you with a licensed therapist via video phone or online chat, visit better help.com/positive and save 10% on your first month hold down Jerry Sandusky I was little longer called Eric as their home in Baltimore. They finally protect the lead. They finally get a victory in their own stadium and it's Justin Tucker who is the best kicker in the game and who knows he's a bad ass he got lifted up and carried off the field on the shoulders of his teammates. After that field goal. But you know the one that The it wasn't the 91 yard drive. It was the quick drive after the borough interception.

It was a 58 yarder 58 yarder and what is out there after the crowd even props. He's out there, essentially doing his version of a touchdown dance. Justin Tucker definitely knows he's a bad ass and he gave the ravens all their points in the second half man to have a kicker like him in the bangles of got one of their own and that McPherson Justin Tucker rarely misses in the clutch.

He may be a more accurate at a military because he's not only accurate and has that deep kicks as well as deadly from deep but he's clutch and so ultimately while it was in a touchdown and while not everyone may have alike to the ravens decision to go for the field goal when they were up close there in the second half they got the game-winning drive and did what they had to do to give it to Tucker to manage a situation like this, no degrees are probably more than just one will still pretty close things out so I mean just in case I still have the prayer I don't Tucker remember Mrs. but you know Justin to Lamar and some of the best one-liners from his postgame press conferences. As for the bangles they fall to two and three and not a lot of deep plays. Not a lot of vertical stuffer borough that the offense was relatively anemic for good portions of this game turnover firstborn into possessions and second half is description show you a quick goal when your first team call, click the writ of support to the long drives also the stuff and also lost redemption on the hospital.

Jim's portal does keep keep take a shot snoozing somewhere bounce themselves out as was the situation westward is the expression of the road substructures were probably words are spot the difference portable from start to finish it all and also would like to stop straw. They did a good job gets real explosive tough offense for the office, reports, or starts at half with the turnover in the home in the form field goal flush still and true division is by everything from owing to in the division is not ideal. I like how Joe Burrell puts it, so if you look at the AFC North. Now the ravens are in first place there. Three into rounds and bangles with losses on Sunday are two and three and on the Steelers, a season that may test to Mike Tomlin and his coaching skills unlike any other life is tough after you see your Hall of Fame quarterback retire, speaking of the sealers. Kenny Pickett made his first start to entirely different to go into Orchard Park, New York against one of the best teams in the NFL. One of the best defenses in the NFL after run that offense when you don't have fans chanting your name every time the starter messes up or giving you an unbelievable welcome when you finally get on the field for the first time yet. Welcome to the NFL rookie the bill versus the Steelers that's were headed next it was plenty.

It was bloodied. It's after hours with Amy Lawrence. You can find me on Twitter a lot radio we will have candidates for Monday's most miserable and mortified teams and fan base as we call it mortification Monday and so will get that pole ready to go because you know how it feels. If your team stunk up the joint. You wake up in the money to go. Oh no this Monday was good to be hard enough and now it's worse. But if your team had a great Sunday when you feel like you're walking on air. I mean, predictable sports for kids after hours with Amy Lawrence on CBS sports radio you are listening to the after-hours podcast will start you all the more the after-hours time to talk football with Lawrence that the bills welcome to the Pittsburgh Steelers to Orchard Park on Sunday.

It was rude don't you think like opening up your front door and then punching your visitors in the got the after hours with Amy Lawrence on CBS sports radio just for the record, I never done that. Josh Allen deep to gave David 98 yard touchdown match is the longest in franchise history.

Not even a minute just over a minute into the game so not even admitted into that first drive.

It's after hours here on CBS sports radio that was a precursor of what was to come. Josh wants to throw it all 60 wanted to be a simple strike. The step on side will be just you plug in apparently right now the Buffalo Bills.

They are locked in.

That will say that we per week to week now I know that they got a lot of superstars on both sides of the ball and that this was a difficult situation for Kenny Pickett to walk into. It was perfect for the bills as you hear John Murphy on bills radio actually missed a field goal and Josh Calderon interception in the first half, or it would've been far more lopsided than 31 to 3 at the break Pittsburgh's first half left behind a field goal. Several three and outs interception and then a missed field goal far from perfect, which is maybe the scary part for Buffalo because they also had a pair of three and outs of the second half in a bubble, but James cook The scoring with a 24 yard touchdown run and 38 to 3 is the final Buffalo is over 550 yards of total offense or member Kenny Pickett doesn't play defense not on the quarterbacks is now the offense, though I would say naturally the Pittsburgh defenses worn out at whatever point they been on the field for almost the entire game. Buffalo did have two turnovers and they were still moments there that they like to have back as Josh Allen talked about after the win missed a few throws you know was ticked off for a couple of the gaming blogs.

The notes known to be possible.

What are some things that I am better on the game in our defense, we were down 17 points don't pointlessness is built brick by brick direct into the world total points snuggling whiskey was leaderless to push and all will focus more don't do this just does what he does office mindset is really separates good teams will Josh Allen, the leader of the offense, Vaughn Miller, the leader of the defense, even though it's his first few months with Buffalo. As for the defense, holding the Steelers to over for the red zone. Over three on fourth down because they raced out to a huge lead Kenny Pickett had to throw the ball 52 times in his first start, the rookie goes 3452. He doesn't over 300 yards passing, but the defense gets to them three times for sacks and he throws an interception and Mike Tomlin screw member by tablets never had a losing season in 15 years that go to Pittsburgh now at one and four football team knows nothing mystical about to see, so you know is capable happening all just disappointed that we didn't close well enough to play well enough to ball the ultimate team game we all love her so much. That's what we all respected so much. Yes, mass is a collective today so I don't have a lot of individual analysis .14 points of substance. The number one thing will be a lot better in the red zone shall remove all the shows on the effects quickly drawn board figure, the voice of Kenny Pickett.

This is disappointing all around and I appreciate what Tomlin said we got smashed. There is really no way, at least in the immediate aftermath to be able to pinpoint one guy here one guy there, it all works in concert and as he says football the ultimate team sport get to completely separate units who are on the field at one time. Not to mention the impact special teams can have so this was an unmitigated disaster for Pittsburgh and I'm thinking the Steelers are likely to be in our mortified Monday Paul miserable and mortified on Monday. Monday morning quarterback. There's a whole lot to pick up for the Steelers. Oh no. Death is not sudden death may take the course of 18 weeks in the regular season, but thank you to the bills for ensuring that I will reach week six in the survivor pool is get into the scary territory though I've never made it past week six.

There may be fewer than six people left all on our two islands will find out once we get through Monday night.

They did make me sweat it out though my 50 team that's entirely different. I get I can even look right. I can even look, I have better things to do. Find me on twitter a lot radio also on her Facebook page. Love to hear from you after what was the first full weekend in October. My little brother turned 35 today first full weekend in October and it was all happening all the time everywhere for wildcard theories. A quadruple header in football and the only one who looks at the end of the Easton says that could be the best division football. I mean, if you know me that an about-face I generally deliver punchlines at the expense of the NFC East and I enjoy them to cowboy Eagles, Giants, all winners watch will get to that next at the top of the hour, Bob Nightingale is in Los Angeles getting set for the division theories between the Padres and the Dodgers and he will join us to talk about what transpired over the last three days in the baseball postseason. If you're feeling down and having trouble getting up in the morning. Here's a tip. Brush your teeth had said often when we wake up our brains going to planning mode which leads to overthinking and stress before had even reached the pillow something simple like brushing your teeth can break that cycle and jumpstart your day.

We can connect with via video phone or chat visit better help.com/positive and save 10% on her first month it's after hours on CBS sports radio you are listening to the after-hours podcast welcome back Stafford is an somebody after-hours's CBS sports radio the game for the Dallas Cowboys defense first baby defense wins championships. Matthew Stafford gets the fumbles by take Lawrence goes 19 yards for a score that 90 and the cowboy fan at Sophia Stadium absolutely is saying and that was just the beginning of the appetizer.

If you will, for the Dallas defense is after hours here on CBS sports radio second drive is a blocked punt by George Armstrong that's recovered and leads to a cowboy field-goal of nine nothing now. It's hard to hold Cooper cup in check, and to watch him work is amazing how good your defenses. He works the angle he paints the corners of you well he gave the ball on this extremely shallow crossing route. Maybe like 10 feet from Matthew Stafford and then works the room works the field and go 75 yards for a touchdown. So Matthew Stafford.

The ramp actually had the lead then on their own field by Dallas was really work in the run game. They only asked Cooper cup to throw the ball 16.Cooper cup. Sorry Cooper rush I know is that why they'd be in the field the same time the people that make the more challenging Cooper Roche only throws the ball 16 to the deepest 10 verse 16 of this game but what they do is they work that run game which gives the ball control. So Ezekiel Elliott carries it 22 times Tony Pollard would we call him the closer a carries 86 yards for him.

He breaks along with the ghost 57 just before the half you have Pollard with 57 yard touchdown run and rush with only 49 yards passing the first half. They're not asking you to do a whole lot except to manage the game take care of the football, it may not be sexy but you know it sexy when it's after hours with Amy Lawrence on CBS sports radio Dallas only manages a pair of field goals in the second half because you know the Rams have a defense as well, but the Cowboys D gives up no point. It didn't sound much like a home-field advantage.

There a lot of Cowboys fans there. In fact, I'm pretty sure I heard a BLH year. At one point but still you're not on your own field you're not at home. You don't have your star quarterback you're playing the Super Bowl champions and you give up no point after the Cooper cup 75 yard TD not another drop from Matthew Stafford and the offense he gets sacked and fumbles and throws an interception on the last two drives for the Rams in the fourth quarter.

So get this the Dallas defense has five sacks 11 quarterback hits and three takeaways rush barely throws 100 yards run away when they won by double figures. They were able to control the ball with the run hundred 63 yards on the ground, and ultimately I could throw a whole bunch of numbers that you Stafford's numbers rushes numbers, cups, numbers, what matters is that without Jack Prescott, who couldn't be a bigger cheerleader for Cooper rush the Cowboys have 14 consecutive games to many sources all day long.

As you can still post for the defense score does should feel truly a team one now. That puts them just behind Eagles at the top of the NFC site I should say just behind Eagles, but their time with the Eagles were violent. I will talk about them at a second Giants are also for NY but man that defense is just as good as it was a year ago, now has a little more experience for guys like Micah Parsons group is just a job offer additional solitude/or canceled it. It's so funny to think about Jerry Jones saying that he hopes is a quarterback controversy and anyone who would want to kinda bring that at me, I'm happy to debate with you. There is no quarterback controversy. Cooper rushes calling to see if they can trade for him because he's not making a lot of mistakes.

He delivers the football when he has to buy what matters most is the winning let's beyond the defense even special teams in this game that is giving Dallas this question in this buffer for the offense to not be dynamic to just be solid many boring but again, as I say, winning is not boring you will hear from Jara a little bit later on the show Matthew Stafford though gets roughed up and also makes mistakes and that Rams offense is it's a mess and Pittsburgh but close. Just trying to live in a moment, and figure out what can I do better to help the team and no one goes with her and think about things that happened Lasher 10 years ago. Whatever it is just a can to be here and now is disappointing to lose football games is no question on the plate as well as you possibly can and all those things but I do have a lot of trust and confidence in the guys in our locker room to do everything within their power to get the same tenor love Matthew Stafford all right with that guy to the end of time, and he's continue to do everything in his power. You know to try to help our team move the football score points. We got really help him out more. I appreciate that John McVeigh still goes to bat for his quarterback and getting smashed five times running for your life doesn't give you a whole lot of time the defense or Dallas really did work to stop the rum kingmakers a couple times look like he was going to break plays and just couldn't get away from the defense cop is really the only guy who is on the highlight reel, but how about this while Aaron, Donald, I should say Rendell to because he's just a beast but after greeting Cooper rush rudely earlier in the game.

Donald was actually impressed by the backup QB is mobile but is not as mobile is not looking to run but he can run. So what is up I go forward and make some good throws you are gritting at the high for a ride there from Aaron Tolliver Cooper rush even though he sacked him twice and also Donald throws in a tackle for loss for good measure clutch solely the two Cooper clutches in this game so the Cowboys have now won four in a row.

They the same record as the giant, as they say in the NFC East.

What is the Eagles who are still undefeated. The only team left in the NFL payable more more Eagles did have a 14 nothing advantage early on with a pair of jeans and hurts rushing touchdowns, though, Arizona was able to come all the way back and tied his game early in the fourth quarter.

I 12 playing 90 yard march and it was Ito Benjamin with this physical 11 yard run lot.

The hands on them, but he was able to to keep going and break through into the end zone to tie 20 and Philadelphia keeps the ball nearly 8 minutes ghost 17 plays a bunch of snaps in the red zone, but ultimately they settle for a Cameron Dicker field goal for Arizona quickly get into field goal range and has their own opportunity to tie almost Merrill Reese on Eagles radio interesting about this is that there were about 22 seconds left on the clock. Kyler Murray was running for a first down and loses track of the marker and end up sliding short of the first down yard short so they could evenly run another play or two to pick up a few more yards. Are Matt Emma Dolan was promoted on the practice squad this week but they leave him a 43 yarder and it goes wide right. I believe but yeah Kyler could have got a few more yards, but he ends up losing track of where he is playing out.
