It's the Boomer and Geo podcast from WFAN.

Welcome back.

Final hour, Willie and Jerry, In4, Boomer and Geo on the fan in CBS Sports Network.

888808-101-19 is the number coming to you live from the built Ford Tuff Studio all over the map this morning with some baseball, a lot of football, which is kind of where we started both locally but also around the league as well.

Last night you had the San Francisco 49ers win a game where they just looked

unstoppable offensively.

Five touchdown passes for Brock Purdy.

The nine are still with an opportunity to get the number one seed in the NFC.

We've seen what that NFC West is.

You've got a really good battle going on in other divisions as well, good battles going on in other divisions as well like the NFC South, though maybe the teams aren't as good.

And, you know, it led us back to, you know, what we watch here on a daily basis, a weekly basis with the Jets or the Giants.

And that is, you know, I compare some of the

games we've seen to what, you know, the Giants and Jets are putting out on the field. And I feel for

their fans because it's just not the same level of NFL football like these playoff teams are

Well, you need competent quarterback playing. You need a defense. I think there are certain teams that pop off the tape that have that.

And maybe they're not elite, but they least give you the feel they can make it run, especially come January. Like when you look at the Jaguars, right, you have Trevor Lawrence and what he's been able to do this year. He's had some signature wins, especially against the Chiefs. Obviously, he had a big one in Denver, and that defense was really kind of stepped up, led by Trayvon Walker. And Liam Cohen, being a young head coach, really a lot, those guys have brought into his system. So that's one team. And then you also look at the charges. You know what I mean? Everything Jim Hawboys, everything he's been able to do with his nine of career, his Michigan career and then land in L.A. with Justin Herbert. Defense has been able to close out games.

Herbert's been able to do with his nine of career his michigan career and then land in l.A. with
