On a day where the 14 00:00:47,960 --> 00:00:53,280 Speaker 1: Chargers lose thirty one to thirty. I mean, I don't 15 00:00:53,280 --> 00:00:55,880 Speaker 1: really even have any words for it. This is a 16 00:00:56,000 --> 00:00:58,959 Speaker 1: day where the Final Drive, the name of this podcast 17 00:00:59,160 --> 00:01:03,440 Speaker 1: is just a a bad name for a wik Yeah. 18 00:01:03,480 --> 00:01:06,520 Speaker 1: And unfortunately it's happened a few times this season, and 19 00:01:06,640 --> 00:01:09,800 Speaker 1: it happened again this time. And I think the hardest 20 00:01:09,840 --> 00:01:13,880 Speaker 1: part about it happening right now is the critical juncture 21 00:01:13,920 --> 00:01:16,800 Speaker 1: of where we are in the twenty twenty NFL season. 22 00:01:16,880 --> 00:01:19,360 Speaker 1: This is Week eate the Biden has already happened to 23 00:01:19,480 --> 00:01:21,280 Speaker 1: be two and five at this point and to have 24 00:01:21,400 --> 00:01:24,760 Speaker 1: your second divisional loss. This is a game I think 25 00:01:25,360 --> 00:01:28,039 Speaker 1: we've talked to you know, we've had conversations with each 26 00:01:28,080 --> 00:01:31,320 Speaker 1: other on our podcasts and other media members and whatnot, 27 00:01:31,720 --> 00:01:35,759 Speaker 1: and obviously every game you want to have. And as 28 00:01:36,160 --> 00:01:38,959 Speaker 1: they sort of dug themselves into a bit of a hole, 29 00:01:39,120 --> 00:01:40,759 Speaker 1: I think it was, okay, we'll just kind of try 30 00:01:40,800 --> 00:01:42,360 Speaker 1: to inch out of it, try to inch out of it. 31 00:01:42,400 --> 00:01:45,000 Speaker 1: And you know, that game last week against Jacksonville, that 32 00:01:45,040 --> 00:01:47,320 Speaker 1: was a game that they obviously needed to have. This 33 00:01:47,440 --> 00:01:49,720 Speaker 1: was a game that they needed to have because there 34 00:01:49,720 --> 00:01:52,520 Speaker 1: are just so many implications, especially when you talk about 35 00:01:52,560 --> 00:01:54,800 Speaker 1: the AFC West. This team is now oh and two 36 00:01:55,280 --> 00:01:58,760 Speaker 1: in the division this season, and that is just not 37 00:01:59,000 --> 00:02:01,480 Speaker 1: I mean, I could say not great, it's it's not 38 00:02:01,640 --> 00:02:04,480 Speaker 1: and there's really no way to sugarcoat that, unfortunately, but 39 00:02:04,520 --> 00:02:09,120 Speaker 1: this is a game again, a last second lost, just crushing, 40 00:02:09,280 --> 00:02:13,480 Speaker 1: just absolutely crushing, especially when for the majority of the 41 00:02:13,520 --> 00:02:16,160 Speaker 1: first half of the game they were just crushing it 42 00:02:16,200 --> 00:02:20,639 Speaker 1: and it Yeah, they felt like they were in absolutely 43 00:02:20,720 --> 00:02:22,840 Speaker 1: in cruise control. And I mean, I guess that there 44 00:02:22,880 --> 00:02:25,480 Speaker 1: have been other halves that have happened like that this year, 45 00:02:25,600 --> 00:02:28,560 Speaker 1: but but it felt different to me. It felt like 46 00:02:28,600 --> 00:02:30,239 Speaker 1: they were just going to keep it on and the 47 00:02:30,360 --> 00:02:33,400 Speaker 1: Broncos just didn't have an answer. And I don't know 48 00:02:33,480 --> 00:02:36,919 Speaker 1: if it was the Philip Lindsay touchdown that sort of shifted. Obviously, 49 00:02:36,960 --> 00:02:38,520 Speaker 1: there were injuries at the end of the game, like 50 00:02:38,600 --> 00:02:42,160 Speaker 1: Joey Bosa being evaluated for a concussion that certainly made 51 00:02:42,160 --> 00:02:45,280 Speaker 1: an impact. But um, but this is a tough one. 52 00:02:45,440 --> 00:02:47,520 Speaker 1: This is a really, really tough one, Like I said, 53 00:02:47,520 --> 00:02:49,360 Speaker 1: mainly in terms of just where we are in the 54 00:02:49,360 --> 00:02:52,720 Speaker 1: twenty twenty season and where this team goes from here. Yeah, 55 00:02:52,880 --> 00:02:55,000 Speaker 1: I feel bad for the players and the coaches, and 56 00:02:55,040 --> 00:02:58,280 Speaker 1: I feel bad for the fans too. The last four 57 00:02:58,320 --> 00:03:01,760 Speaker 1: weeks have not been easy four games. Rather, when you 58 00:03:02,080 --> 00:03:05,880 Speaker 1: lose seventeen point leads to the Bucks in the Saints, 59 00:03:05,919 --> 00:03:07,960 Speaker 1: you'll lose a sixteen point lead to the Jags, you 60 00:03:07,960 --> 00:03:09,680 Speaker 1: get it back and you win it and you have 61 00:03:09,720 --> 00:03:12,960 Speaker 1: twenty one against the divisional opponent, and you're playing just 62 00:03:13,040 --> 00:03:15,920 Speaker 1: great football in first half, and I thought the defense 63 00:03:16,000 --> 00:03:18,600 Speaker 1: was flying around. You got the running game going, kind 64 00:03:18,600 --> 00:03:21,320 Speaker 1: of that three headed attack, Troy May and Pope running 65 00:03:21,360 --> 00:03:24,440 Speaker 1: really hard, Justin Jackson doing things through the air and 66 00:03:24,520 --> 00:03:27,200 Speaker 1: on the ground. Joshua Kelly had a nice run in 67 00:03:27,240 --> 00:03:31,880 Speaker 1: that first quarter or second quarter, and it just falls apart. 68 00:03:32,400 --> 00:03:36,200 Speaker 1: It fell apart in the second half, and again I 69 00:03:36,240 --> 00:03:39,920 Speaker 1: don't really have many words for it. Guys, two and five, 70 00:03:40,600 --> 00:03:43,200 Speaker 1: this was a critical stretch, Helly, as you said, you know, 71 00:03:43,360 --> 00:03:45,720 Speaker 1: you have an opportunity to get wins against the Broncos 72 00:03:45,720 --> 00:03:48,119 Speaker 1: and Raiders. Get to four and four, put yourself back 73 00:03:48,120 --> 00:03:50,720 Speaker 1: in the conversation. You got to throw that out the window. 74 00:03:50,760 --> 00:03:54,280 Speaker 1: Now there's no conversation. There's just trying to get out 75 00:03:54,280 --> 00:03:56,160 Speaker 1: of this, to get out of this run by any 76 00:03:56,200 --> 00:03:59,440 Speaker 1: means necessary. And I don't have the answers for it. 77 00:03:59,480 --> 00:04:01,440 Speaker 1: I don't think you have the answers for it. I 78 00:04:01,480 --> 00:04:04,200 Speaker 1: think the team they just gotta they gotta dig deep, 79 00:04:04,200 --> 00:04:07,040 Speaker 1: and they got to figure out a way to get 80 00:04:07,040 --> 00:04:09,360 Speaker 1: a win and win in the division. You know, this 81 00:04:09,440 --> 00:04:11,400 Speaker 1: was something that we stressed. You have one of the 82 00:04:11,440 --> 00:04:16,279 Speaker 1: division since twenty eighteen. You create your teams to win 83 00:04:16,279 --> 00:04:19,159 Speaker 1: in the division, and they've been so close, but close 84 00:04:19,240 --> 00:04:22,679 Speaker 1: doesn't get you anything in the NFL. It doesn't. And unfortunately, 85 00:04:23,200 --> 00:04:26,359 Speaker 1: when you talk about divisional games again, we had this 86 00:04:26,440 --> 00:04:29,919 Speaker 1: conversation this week. You throw to me, you throw the 87 00:04:29,920 --> 00:04:32,200 Speaker 1: records out the window, you know what I mean? Because 88 00:04:32,240 --> 00:04:35,480 Speaker 1: they always feel a little closer because these teams know 89 00:04:35,560 --> 00:04:38,599 Speaker 1: each other, They're very, very familiar with one another. Obviously, 90 00:04:38,680 --> 00:04:40,680 Speaker 1: the wrinkle, the new wrinkle for the Chargers this year 91 00:04:40,760 --> 00:04:43,480 Speaker 1: was justin Herbert and in that first half, Denver had 92 00:04:43,520 --> 00:04:46,520 Speaker 1: no answer for him. I mean also, though, to come 93 00:04:46,560 --> 00:04:49,160 Speaker 1: back from the interception he had on the you know, 94 00:04:49,200 --> 00:04:52,240 Speaker 1: in the first series, and to come back and show 95 00:04:52,279 --> 00:04:55,359 Speaker 1: that poison, that resolve to compartmentalize on and move forward. 96 00:04:55,400 --> 00:04:58,040 Speaker 1: That was incredible by him and I give him props 97 00:04:58,080 --> 00:05:02,160 Speaker 1: for that. But but yeah, it's tough. It is really tough, 98 00:05:02,200 --> 00:05:04,520 Speaker 1: and you talk about we don't have the answers. Even 99 00:05:04,640 --> 00:05:07,080 Speaker 1: Keenan Allen was kind of dumbfounded after the game, saying, 100 00:05:07,120 --> 00:05:09,280 Speaker 1: I wish we had the answers as to why these 101 00:05:09,360 --> 00:05:12,679 Speaker 1: one score losses keep happening. And this is I think 102 00:05:12,720 --> 00:05:16,400 Speaker 1: where teams kind of start digging deep and trying to 103 00:05:16,440 --> 00:05:19,039 Speaker 1: find their identity and trying to figure it out. And 104 00:05:19,080 --> 00:05:22,240 Speaker 1: that's definitely what is going to be needed because not 105 00:05:22,320 --> 00:05:24,839 Speaker 1: only did you lose this one this week to a 106 00:05:24,839 --> 00:05:27,640 Speaker 1: divisional opponent, but you have another one on the schedule 107 00:05:27,720 --> 00:05:30,600 Speaker 1: coming next week. You are back at home at SOFI Stadium, 108 00:05:30,640 --> 00:05:33,920 Speaker 1: but the Raiders are coming into town next week, and 109 00:05:34,000 --> 00:05:38,719 Speaker 1: they got a win today and they won. And you 110 00:05:38,760 --> 00:05:42,680 Speaker 1: know the thing I think that's that's most crushing are 111 00:05:42,720 --> 00:05:47,080 Speaker 1: these divisional losses where you know they almost led wire 112 00:05:47,120 --> 00:05:49,880 Speaker 1: to wire. I know the broadcast scored the first vehicle 113 00:05:49,920 --> 00:05:52,240 Speaker 1: of the game, but you know the Chiefs game, you 114 00:05:52,320 --> 00:05:55,240 Speaker 1: led wire to wire until the final gun and overtime. 115 00:05:55,600 --> 00:05:57,919 Speaker 1: And to be so dominant against this team up until 116 00:05:58,480 --> 00:06:01,920 Speaker 1: the final gun today and then last year you look 117 00:06:01,920 --> 00:06:04,680 Speaker 1: at how the Chargers lost in Denver. They lost on 118 00:06:04,680 --> 00:06:06,839 Speaker 1: our Brandon my Manis field goal. You lose on a 119 00:06:06,920 --> 00:06:11,000 Speaker 1: Brandon mcmahis extra point this year. So there's just a 120 00:06:11,040 --> 00:06:14,839 Speaker 1: lot of similarities in terms of closing games. And I 121 00:06:14,880 --> 00:06:17,240 Speaker 1: think each week you look at a phase of the 122 00:06:17,279 --> 00:06:21,480 Speaker 1: team that needs to step up and help win a game. 123 00:06:21,720 --> 00:06:24,400 Speaker 1: And you know, I don't know what happened to the 124 00:06:24,400 --> 00:06:27,760 Speaker 1: defense in the second half. The running game got going 125 00:06:28,000 --> 00:06:33,120 Speaker 1: this week, where weeks past it hadn't gotten going. Michael 126 00:06:33,160 --> 00:06:36,440 Speaker 1: Badgeley was on this week, and he wasn't on the 127 00:06:36,520 --> 00:06:40,600 Speaker 1: last couple of weeks. So it's getting all three phases 128 00:06:40,640 --> 00:06:42,960 Speaker 1: on the same page. And I think that's what good 129 00:06:42,960 --> 00:06:45,480 Speaker 1: teams do in this league. It is what good teams 130 00:06:45,520 --> 00:06:48,640 Speaker 1: doing this league. And there are other teams. I think 131 00:06:48,720 --> 00:06:51,360 Speaker 1: it was the Chicago Bears at one point where they 132 00:06:51,400 --> 00:06:54,080 Speaker 1: had the flip. They had the flip side of they 133 00:06:54,080 --> 00:06:57,039 Speaker 1: had one score wins instead of one score losses. And 134 00:06:57,320 --> 00:06:59,760 Speaker 1: obviously they're in a different place right now. I believe 135 00:06:59,760 --> 00:07:02,800 Speaker 1: they lost to the Saints today, But but it's disappointing 136 00:07:02,880 --> 00:07:06,400 Speaker 1: when you go up against the Jacksonville Jaguars and you 137 00:07:06,440 --> 00:07:09,200 Speaker 1: put a complete game together in the sense of you 138 00:07:09,200 --> 00:07:11,600 Speaker 1: were even down at one point in the second half, 139 00:07:11,600 --> 00:07:13,640 Speaker 1: but then they battled back and they sort of turned 140 00:07:13,640 --> 00:07:15,840 Speaker 1: it on and kept it on. As coach Lynn has 141 00:07:15,840 --> 00:07:18,119 Speaker 1: said all season, when we have opponents on the ropes, 142 00:07:18,440 --> 00:07:20,120 Speaker 1: we need to figure out how to knock them out, 143 00:07:20,160 --> 00:07:22,720 Speaker 1: and they did that last week. But to not have 144 00:07:22,760 --> 00:07:26,280 Speaker 1: them do that this week, it's just frustrating. I can't 145 00:07:26,320 --> 00:07:28,880 Speaker 1: even imagine what it's like to be in that locker room. 146 00:07:28,920 --> 00:07:31,000 Speaker 1: I mean, Mike Williams came up to the podium. He 147 00:07:31,080 --> 00:07:35,360 Speaker 1: was clearly free and you know what, I don't I 148 00:07:35,360 --> 00:07:38,239 Speaker 1: don't blame him. He just he didn't have he didn't 149 00:07:38,240 --> 00:07:41,400 Speaker 1: have answers, and yeah, and I think it's it's kind 150 00:07:41,440 --> 00:07:43,760 Speaker 1: of a helpless feeling when you lose like this and 151 00:07:43,800 --> 00:07:46,880 Speaker 1: you can't put your finger on why it's happening. It's 152 00:07:46,920 --> 00:07:49,640 Speaker 1: a it's a helpless feeling. And you know, we could, 153 00:07:49,800 --> 00:07:52,440 Speaker 1: we could spend the next ten minutes ripping off Justin 154 00:07:52,520 --> 00:07:56,120 Speaker 1: herbert fun stats and what he did this week and everything, 155 00:07:56,640 --> 00:07:59,080 Speaker 1: but it's it seems hollow right now, you know, it 156 00:07:59,120 --> 00:08:01,760 Speaker 1: seems hollow. And us we know Justin Herbert's the future. 157 00:08:01,800 --> 00:08:03,360 Speaker 1: We know he's going to be a really good player 158 00:08:03,400 --> 00:08:06,400 Speaker 1: for a long time. He showed that today, but he 159 00:08:06,440 --> 00:08:09,200 Speaker 1: admitted too, he had two turnovers that led to points 160 00:08:09,480 --> 00:08:11,880 Speaker 1: for the Broncos. And when you lose the game by 161 00:08:11,880 --> 00:08:15,400 Speaker 1: one point, everybody's responsible. So you know, he took responsibility 162 00:08:15,400 --> 00:08:18,360 Speaker 1: for what he did today. But at the same time, 163 00:08:18,560 --> 00:08:20,880 Speaker 1: you know, two hundred and seventy eight yards three touchdowns 164 00:08:20,880 --> 00:08:24,880 Speaker 1: from a rookie and I just I'm trying to figure 165 00:08:24,880 --> 00:08:30,560 Speaker 1: out how the Chargers defense they allowed two yards rushing, 166 00:08:30,720 --> 00:08:33,800 Speaker 1: I believe in the first half. And then you said 167 00:08:33,800 --> 00:08:37,040 Speaker 1: at Philip lindsay six carries eighty three yards in a touchdown, 168 00:08:37,080 --> 00:08:39,280 Speaker 1: that fifty five yard touchdown, Haley, that kind of got 169 00:08:39,320 --> 00:08:42,160 Speaker 1: the Broncos going. Yeah, it certainly felt that way. It 170 00:08:42,240 --> 00:08:45,640 Speaker 1: just felt like at that point they got their mojo back. 171 00:08:45,640 --> 00:08:48,480 Speaker 1: And I mean they were still down. It was twenty 172 00:08:48,480 --> 00:08:50,560 Speaker 1: four ten at that point after they scored, so they 173 00:08:50,559 --> 00:08:55,199 Speaker 1: were still significantly down. But then they scored seven after that, 174 00:08:55,280 --> 00:08:57,440 Speaker 1: then the charters at the field goal, and so I 175 00:08:57,520 --> 00:08:59,040 Speaker 1: think too one of the things when you look in 176 00:08:59,080 --> 00:09:02,760 Speaker 1: the fourth quarter, I mean, unfortunately the Chargers did settle 177 00:09:02,800 --> 00:09:05,800 Speaker 1: for two field goals in that fourth quarter, where you 178 00:09:05,880 --> 00:09:10,600 Speaker 1: obviously always want to capitalize on the touchdown and getting 179 00:09:10,640 --> 00:09:13,240 Speaker 1: six instead of three. And I know that there was 180 00:09:13,320 --> 00:09:17,079 Speaker 1: the one red zone interception I believe where you know, 181 00:09:17,160 --> 00:09:19,440 Speaker 1: Herbert threw the ball aim for Mike Williams and it 182 00:09:19,480 --> 00:09:22,479 Speaker 1: was picked off instead, and that was after a racion interception. 183 00:09:22,520 --> 00:09:25,840 Speaker 1: That so those two sort of like negated each other. Yeah, 184 00:09:25,840 --> 00:09:29,240 Speaker 1: exactly in that sense. But but yeah, I mean they 185 00:09:29,320 --> 00:09:33,360 Speaker 1: certainly got they got Denver got momentum. They kind of 186 00:09:33,440 --> 00:09:37,480 Speaker 1: kept going, and I guess you had hope though, that 187 00:09:37,559 --> 00:09:39,560 Speaker 1: after what you saw last week from the Chargers that 188 00:09:39,600 --> 00:09:41,360 Speaker 1: they would sort of, you know, turn it around. But 189 00:09:41,360 --> 00:09:43,000 Speaker 1: but I don't know what it is. And again I 190 00:09:43,040 --> 00:09:46,880 Speaker 1: don't know. You know, obviously I forget when Joey Bosa 191 00:09:47,000 --> 00:09:49,119 Speaker 1: did go out at some point and was being evaluated 192 00:09:49,120 --> 00:09:51,800 Speaker 1: for concussion. That to me definitely has something to do 193 00:09:51,880 --> 00:09:53,880 Speaker 1: with it. Because if you're Drew lock back there and 194 00:09:53,880 --> 00:09:55,640 Speaker 1: you only have to account for really one of the 195 00:09:55,679 --> 00:09:59,600 Speaker 1: two premium pass rushers, premier pass rushers on the Chargers, 196 00:09:59,640 --> 00:10:02,680 Speaker 1: then you're probably going to take advantage of that. But 197 00:10:02,679 --> 00:10:04,760 Speaker 1: but yeah, it's tough. I mean, coach Lyn even said 198 00:10:04,760 --> 00:10:07,920 Speaker 1: after the game, like he takes full responsibility. What they 199 00:10:07,960 --> 00:10:12,079 Speaker 1: did today was unacceptable, and he even said in terms 200 00:10:12,080 --> 00:10:14,679 Speaker 1: of fans and all that, it's you know, it's frustrating, 201 00:10:14,720 --> 00:10:17,920 Speaker 1: absolutely yeah, And you know what, Bosa went out, Trema 202 00:10:17,960 --> 00:10:19,800 Speaker 1: and Pope went out, but also a j Bua went 203 00:10:19,840 --> 00:10:22,480 Speaker 1: out for for the problems too. Yeah, he was he's 204 00:10:22,520 --> 00:10:26,520 Speaker 1: their top corner um. So it kind of evens out. 205 00:10:26,760 --> 00:10:29,520 Speaker 1: There's really no excuses you lose thirty one thirty to 206 00:10:29,679 --> 00:10:34,959 Speaker 1: a divisional rival's uh, it's extremely frustrating. For for fans, 207 00:10:35,040 --> 00:10:38,920 Speaker 1: team players and coaches. And you know the only thing 208 00:10:38,920 --> 00:10:41,400 Speaker 1: you could do, Hailey, is you get back on it. 209 00:10:41,480 --> 00:10:43,640 Speaker 1: You practice and you try to beat the Raiders, right, 210 00:10:44,120 --> 00:10:46,400 Speaker 1: And that's what Herbert said, He goes, we get back in, 211 00:10:46,640 --> 00:10:49,360 Speaker 1: you know, in the lab. This week, we hopefully, you know, 212 00:10:49,400 --> 00:10:51,440 Speaker 1: assemble a good week of practice, put a good week 213 00:10:51,440 --> 00:10:54,079 Speaker 1: of practice together, and yeah, you get you get ready 214 00:10:54,120 --> 00:10:56,240 Speaker 1: for those Las Vegas Raiders who are coming off a 215 00:10:56,280 --> 00:11:00,120 Speaker 1: win today sixteen six over the Browns. Josh Jacob was 216 00:11:00,120 --> 00:11:02,080 Speaker 1: one hundred and twenty eight yards. They had two hundred 217 00:11:02,160 --> 00:11:07,199 Speaker 1: eight yards rushing total, which is yeah, it was a windy, 218 00:11:07,400 --> 00:11:10,439 Speaker 1: windy game. I don't think it was a Yeah, sixteen six, 219 00:11:10,520 --> 00:11:13,280 Speaker 1: I mean, hi, that is extremely low scoring in this league. 220 00:11:13,320 --> 00:11:16,840 Speaker 1: But but again, you know, the Raiders have kind of 221 00:11:16,840 --> 00:11:19,840 Speaker 1: turned things around this year. They've they've figured some things out. 222 00:11:19,880 --> 00:11:22,040 Speaker 1: They've obviously had a couple of games that you know 223 00:11:22,760 --> 00:11:24,800 Speaker 1: haven't gone well for them in that sense, but again, 224 00:11:24,840 --> 00:11:27,440 Speaker 1: you know, it's a divisional game. Anything can happen. To me, 225 00:11:27,520 --> 00:11:30,200 Speaker 1: they're always a little closer than, like I said, than 226 00:11:30,280 --> 00:11:33,600 Speaker 1: you think they might be. But um, but it's tough, 227 00:11:33,960 --> 00:11:37,080 Speaker 1: you know, it's it's tough, but such as the NFL, 228 00:11:37,160 --> 00:11:39,599 Speaker 1: it is a week to week league. You got to compartmentalize. 229 00:11:39,640 --> 00:11:41,920 Speaker 1: You gotta pack this one away, you know, look at 230 00:11:41,960 --> 00:11:44,480 Speaker 1: the tape, look at what needs to be fixed, then 231 00:11:45,080 --> 00:11:48,199 Speaker 1: slide it away and and get ready for Vegas because 232 00:11:48,679 --> 00:11:51,120 Speaker 1: for Vegas coming in, I should say the Vegas later 233 00:11:51,160 --> 00:11:54,720 Speaker 1: in the season. But um, but yeah, it's a it's tough. 234 00:11:54,800 --> 00:11:58,720 Speaker 1: It's hard to really, like you said, fine silver linings 235 00:11:58,760 --> 00:12:01,640 Speaker 1: in this one. Even even justin Herbert to your point, 236 00:12:01,760 --> 00:12:03,520 Speaker 1: had said, you know, someone asked him, well, what about 237 00:12:03,559 --> 00:12:06,800 Speaker 1: your performance and and everything, and he said, it's hard. 238 00:12:06,840 --> 00:12:08,720 Speaker 1: You know, it's it's hard to stand up here when 239 00:12:08,720 --> 00:12:12,560 Speaker 1: the team loses and and ultimately, you know, talk about 240 00:12:12,640 --> 00:12:14,360 Speaker 1: how great of a game you know I might have 241 00:12:14,400 --> 00:12:17,720 Speaker 1: had or anything like that. So yeah, it's again the 242 00:12:17,800 --> 00:12:22,480 Speaker 1: stats they mean very little when you're losing. And if 243 00:12:22,520 --> 00:12:25,959 Speaker 1: you're frustrated, we feel you. We will still be here 244 00:12:26,000 --> 00:12:29,480 Speaker 1: though George's podcast that We're gonna roll.
