Hey, everybody.

It is Tuesday, January 18, 2012.

Welcome to the NFL fantasy football podcast where we will never blow an inadvertent whistle.

I am Marcus Grant alongside Michael F. Florio. Producer Justin is at the controls. And we got through

super wildcard weekend, six games, including a Monday night game. I don't know that it was

necessarily super on the field. For you, obviously, you know,

taking the Bill's huge win into account, what was the best game for you of this weekend?

Selfishly for me, it was the Bill's game, but that's only because I'm a Bill's fan.

Objectively, I thought the first game of the week was the best one, the Bengals Raiders. That whistle feels like it was weeks ago, even though it was just a couple of days ago. But to me, that was the best game. It was back and forth a little bit. It came down to the end. Not many games were close this week, so that one I think kind of almost wins by default. All right, so maybe I'm going to be Homerish here, but I'm going to pick the 49ers and Cowboys. That was another good one. Because that was the only other, I think, really competitive game, even though the end of it was just a comedy of errors. Like, neither team could really close the game out of the Niners had multiple chances to shut it down. I mean, it looked for all intents and purposes. At first, like Debo Samuel had run for a first down, then on review, it was short. Then it looks like Jimmy G. sneaks it across the line for a first down, except he didn't wait long enough for Trent Williams to get set, so they called a false start. Then the Niner defense just lets the Cowboys march down the field until

Dak Prescott inexplicably runs a draw.

And as the clock ran out.

So it was close, even though if it wasn't well played at the end, it was not good for my heart.

I know that much.

I can only imagine.

Right? I'm like sitting here. I'm moving stuff around. I'm cleaning up and I'm like watching it on TV and I'm like stressed out like, this is not good for me. What was your reaction when Dak ran? Because I didn't have a dog in the fight and I'm watching like, what is going on? I was like, wait, wait, what's how? It looks like, at first I'm like, oh crap, there's a lot of room. Then I'm like, wait a minute, they don't have any time out. It's like, what is going on like it was like wait what's how it's like at first I'm like oh crap there's a lot of room then I'm like wait a minute they don't have any time out it's like what is he doing so so yeah and then I'm like watching it and I'm you know they're trying to hustle up to the line and and he spikes it and I'm like well I'm like from where I'm sitting it looks like the clock ran out but'm like, I was wondering if they would give them one second.

I thought it would.

To try and just do one more play.

Because I feel like if they had one more play, I felt the worst.

Like I just felt like if they got one more play, somehow like CD Lamb or actually be like, you know,

Dalton Schultz was going to come down with a Hail Mary in the end zone or something like that.
