Is there anything Deshaun Watson can do to make people forget the Buffalo game?

0:00How We Made Your Mother is a rewatch podcast that looks back episode by episode at the hit TV show How I Met Your Mother. It's hosted by me, Josh Radner, along with series co-creator and my friend Craig Thomas. Follow How We Made Your Mother wherever you get your podcasts. It's Wednesday. Home D-E-E-E! It's a hum-de-addition of Afternoon Drop. Trilveney Brightfield to Baris, he's looking up, you made good buy! Barcelona! Bash is a two-out-three run homer. He hit in Roqueo, with a line drive single in a center field, will score two. Focut. The Guardians have even the series in a game of peace. I have a massive speed bump that he had. That was that thing should have taken the car off the road. That's how disastrous that was. And I think if you believe it's a minor blip or a speed bump, it's because you want to. But like, there's a part of me that really struggles. That this idea that, hey, to Sean Curie around, this anger, this rage, this hurt in his heart for two years.

1:01And now that he said it, he's moved on. I really struggle with that. Find a judge in Bowling Green. My people will take care of you, John Steinberger. Exactly what we need to do. Find a judge that is obviously going to be anti-Mitchigan. There has to be a judge in Bowling Green that I've gotten absolutely blind-stinking drunk with before. Sure. I will pick up the phone and I'll just be like, were you in the Falcon's marching band in 2004? That was you. A real risk to guys. I have pictures of you. Or I at least have a very telling story of you. It's the afternoon drive with Nick Wilson and Jonathan Peterland on Cleveland Sports Radio. 92-3 The Fan. The show is back in so is football.

And like our videos, we desperately like to be liked around these parts. And Meredith Kane in the 2020s today, we got big day for the Gartos. Can they get the series up? I'm not going to bleep over on the desk here. See Hawks, Patriots on this very station later tonight. And yes, we are one day closer to the Browns V, the Jags. Hi JP. Hello. How's it going today? I got so much energy today. Good. Energy out the Ying Ying today. Feeling good. We like that. You sound like you have a lot of energy today. Football is back and that's a beautiful thing. Now, if you listen to the Nick Talk that I made earlier today, Annick Wilson says, by the way, on TikTok, it will sound like I'm on Death's Doorstep.

3:03Okay. I was using my lower voice. I just woke up. I was trying to get stuff out of the door. Like to make the Nick Talk you were? Yeah, yeah, yeah. So I was like, I almost, I gave you a little bit of, uh, gave you a little bit of that berry white treatment. What's that sound like? It was low and it was slow. Okay. But you kept the voice within it. I thought you're going to go, I don't know. Well, and then also sound like a, like a wireboy or something. Yeah, no, no, no, no, that would have been weird. But no, we're feeling good today. And we are like, I'm, the closer we're getting to Sunday's game, I'm intrigued. All right. I'm happy to be interested. I'm happy to be interested. Okay. All right. A little bit wilder. I was shocked. Just a little bit. The shocking take would be that you're not intrigued right now. Yeah, that's fair. I think there's a lot of Browns fans that maybe feel that way. But again, I think it's impossible for me and you to do this day and day out and be like, Oh, there's not a few things we're interested in on about Sunday. There's a lot of things we're interested in about Sunday. And I do like do we have a little soft launch of the season while I cherish my game day ritual. One of the, one of the best things about being a Browns fan is that you're almost

4:04always at one p.m. on Sunday, because nobody wants to watch this bleep in prime time. And the benefit of that is I get my rituals. Okay. That being said, I do like the soft launch, a little football tonight, a little football tomorrow. This is a soft launch. This is a hard launch. This is Wednesday, Thursday. It is a patriotic day. It is Monday. It is a Cleveland or what do we have interest in other than maybe like a last 11th hour recini report? It's a buffet of football though. This is like the NFL season doesn't just start and enter with a whimper. I mean, this is this again Wednesday, Thursday, all day Sunday, Sunday night, Monday night football. Like this is they hit you with a lot out of the game. I think they go from starving you for months to then all of a sudden just overloading you with all sorts of football. I'm excited about football tonight. You should listen to it right here in this station. Could we have had a better game? Could we have swapped the games tomorrow be the Patriot Seahawks and today be the Rams versus the 49ers down on that. Yeah, I would have much preferred that. I think everyone would have much preferred that although it's weird at the gambling streets and then also just the streets in general really they like this Patriots team for some

5:06reason tonight and I cannot figure out any I can't figure out a reason and the same sentence where everyone's like not everyone but a large majority of people today come out and been like, Donald's going to repeat the sea ox or winning back to back Super Bowl which is not something I heard the entirety of the offseason. It's now like in the last 20 frowards become very prime to be like the sea hawks are doubling up. But yeah, a lot of people are excited for this Patriots team. I'm really glad you said that by the way, just real quick here to start the show because everyone's doing the same bit which is you know, no one's talking about the sea hawks and their ability to repeat, but we're going to go ahead and do that. And it's like I did everybody get like the same memo. It's like no glitch in the matrix because it does feel like in the last 24 hours, everyone's turned their sides to not enough people are talking about the sea hawks while seemingly everyone's talking about the sea hawks. Here's my take on the amount of takes that happen nationally, okay. My take on their takes. Okay. Every one in the national media space is just trying to jockey for their own corner. That's all anyone's doing. It's like who planted the flag in my homes now who can plant the flag on Josh Allen now

6:07who can plant the flag on Kayla Williams before anybody else could plant a flag on Kayla Williams. All this jockeying to have the corner that then they can fanboy the most over and then tell everybody how they were right about this person and this everything. And so I think what happened is everyone spent the entire offseason talking about the rams and those additions and kind of you know getting their little corners and it's like oh I think the rams are going to be great. I think I think the 49ers are going to be great. Here's your reasons x, y and z and then the dust settled and they looked around and said wait a second. Nobody's picked the Super Bowl champion from last year like that team basically that team hasn't changed it with the exception of Kenneth Walker now playing running back for Kansas City. That teams barely changed. Why don't I go ahead and plant my flag down in that corner. I'll take some some real estate and some residents up with sea hawks drive and that's how you end up with just a boatload of the sea hawks are doubling this whole thing up. That's why they need to have a little foresight the national media. You should have seen this coming so you could pivot and be like I still think the sea hawks are overrated and let me tell you why you really could have swerved some people. I think this I think today was predictable if we had thought about it ahead of time.

7:10And as we think about things ahead of time, we do have the Browns and Jags and Jacksonville on Sunday and today to Sean Watson met with the media as the starting quarterback of a team does is one of the five captains for the Browns. This week and again, it is a Velcro sea, but don't worry. That's for every Browns captain this year could rip that right off. And one of the things he was asked about was whether he whether it kind of thought of the Buffalo game when was like the last time you thought of Buffalo game in here was his answer. It's been well since that Buffalo game out of your mind, which Buffalo game? Precision. Oh, yeah, I mean, yeah, that's not worried about that. You know, we focus on now, you know, it's about what we got what we can do now. So it's not about what we were about in the future or in the past. Excuse me. You know, we're about 24 when I weren't about last year. I mean, I plan when I word about the preseason right now we got to focus on Jacksonville. I think there's a fair amount of people who where we are with the Sean is he's the quarterback and we're just going to put a good face on about it. I heard Jeff and Andy come out of the Deshaun press conference and the message was, he's

8:13the starting quarterback and I want him to succeed. And it felt like and I'm inferring this. So I'm going to believe what he just said about anything. I think the most telling part of his answer was the I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, they're in between the cliche machine and the question. What do you think he genuinely forgot about the bills game? No. No, because there are a couple of things either happen there either a he was just being dense intentionally and maybe that was part of that b he was just acting and that could go hand in hand with a or c munkin and the team of the Browns have done a fantastic job of wiping away what is supposed to be a dark cloud that hangs over to Sean Watson. Everything that existed within that bills game and then the following press conference that happened after that game to the point where even to Sean is just so focused. He's doing the Jimmy Butler. We're taking the rear view mirrors. We're taking them off the car. They don't even exist on our car anymore. We're windshield people. They're dangerous. We're windshield people. That's how you get to a real. You actually took off. You did. They're still alive. That's the most impressive. He can't, he can't look behind himself. Right.

9:14But that's the idea. Sean is so hyper focused windshield. And what's in front of them? What happens if there's attractive person you want to look at, but you don't want to be obvious. That's kind of what that's one of the secondary reasons why we have rear view windshield. Try to look at attractive people. Don't act like you're above this. No, back to my single days. Not now because we're spoken for. I'm not going to have to come above it. I'm not going to have like a creeper. You're like, well, I'm just. The recap show is an inside look into the world of global soccer and women sports. Follow and listen to the recap show wherever you get your podcasts. I'm going to look right here. It's going to make sure that what I saw was what I saw and then I saw it and it was good. Yeah, moving on. I mean, we're all guilty of that, right? We've all looked at rear view mirror and I'm like, all right, I even, I mean, even now it's just, it's just you just looking. I saw blue right now. No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, harm and just looking. I saw, I saw, yeah, I saw propane driver Walmart today. Okay. And she was like a Cleveland eight and I was like, I don't understand this. She was the propane driver. Yes, she was the propane driver. She's like, those giant things to propane.

10:15She's out there. And I'm just like, where's Mac Robinson? I got to call him. I call all my single fellows because this feels like, this feels like a worker. All right, you can tell that woman was sturdy, but very attractive. And this is going to be good for whoever lands her. She was sturdy. Yeah, I didn't mean in a bad way. She was like, she was like double hand in those giant propane tanks. I was like, I don't know my fat ass could do that. Sounds impressive. I mean, I feel like you're like three times as attracted to her because she was doing a blue collar job. Well, I mean, these colors don't run. Okay. I'm hungarian. So blue collar, we're going to do what we're going to do. But no, so what do you think of this? Was he was the Sean acting or was the Sean at the Browns done such a good job of making sure that he's windshield focused. He's only looking at what's in front of him that he's erased. He's erased the comments that he made and then he's erased the actual game where he looked about as bad as have ever seen to Sean Watson play. And I've seen him play a lot of really bad football. I think this is a scenario of fake until you make it. And I think that's exactly what the Sean should do.

11:17I do that like you can't change. There's no football you can play until Sunday that can change the narrative or change how you feel or how you felt. And so until then, yes, you should just go ahead and gaslight yourself. I have no problem with the Sean coming out and being like, oh, what Buffalo game? I mean, I think you know what Buffalo game. I genuinely think. You know what Buffalo game. But you know what? Just act like it never happened. That's the smartest thing you can do at this point. I genuinely think he just lumps that game into what happened in like 2024. It's all just so far in his past, even though it happened a couple weeks ago, it's so far in his past because now all we can do is put himself to the future. And where he's smart about it is he understands that if you play good football, or even if you play bad football, nobody that is reasonable will bring up your preseason tape in any sort of way. You won't. It doesn't matter. Preseason football does not matter. The moment the actual real games get started, what happened in the preseason does not matter. And it, listen, DeShawn, there's nothing DeShawn can say that's going to convince me that how DeShawn felt after the second preseason game isn't how he feels now.

12:22And so there's no use. So there's nothing that can be gained from going back and mentioning it again or acting like it's even in and kind of where you're thinking about. Whether whether or not, by the way, that he actually believes it is going to be evident on Sunday, if he collapses like a cheap cardboard box, well, that Buffalo game is still up there. It's right. It's right up here. He could have collapsed even without the Buffalo game, though. I mean, there's not, there's not like a world that exists where if he's bad, it's just solely because the Buffalo game is what got to him. He might have always just been bad. I think that was the straw that broke his back, though. Because he got no Buffalo game to go off of for the previous three years that we watched him play bad football. There's a difference between looking bad and looking lost. And I think that's what surprised me most about that Buffalo game is he looked lost. He looked like he, like he was a alien trying to play football because there was no confidence. There was no field. There was no presence. That's what I'm talking like if that guy shows up, it's just the monster stole his power. Right.

13:22That's the simplest. Five years ago, I won't come back and be like they just recently stole it. They stole it five years ago. I think, I think that, I think that Saturday, I think that Saturday might have been the damn given way. Again, he has a chance on Sunday to disprove that because if he comes out and he's able to play well enough and they either compete for a win or they get a win, that's, I think that question is answered that he has moved on from the until they come home. And the job that Munkin will have done, if he can pull it off, the job that Munkin will have done from a sports psychology standpoint might have might end up being studied and colleges moving forward. I'll just Sean could have wiped this away and then even go to the podium and just act like I have no idea what you guys are talking about. Two one six, four seven four, double, nine two, and Nick Wilson says at J Peterlin on social media, social media reactions on X powered by Shibon Jouler's Cleveland's premier jewelry store. We got Ashley Bastock at three 20. We'll talk about to Sean Watson comments today and whether he cleared that Buffalo game from his internal memory slate there.

Many people have said he wouldn't have got there without us and we'll make sure to let him know that at four o'clock today. We'll talk about the changes in the AFC North where he stands with his Browns team. I'll tell you he's pretty low on him and Darryl Ryder coming up at six o'clock.
