Matthew Stafford Rams heading back 0:01:46.259 --> 0:01:48.379 to Motown to take on Jared Golf and the Lions, 0:01:48.379 --> 0:01:51.619 and two quarterbacks one and one head to head since 0:01:51.659 --> 0:01:54.819 being traded for each other. One did ultimately win a 0:01:54.859 --> 0:01:55.459 Super Bowl. 0:01:55.699 --> 0:01:58.019 But there's so much to look ahead to do. 0:01:58.179 --> 0:02:03.019 Let's look at this week one schedule here it is. 0:02:03.099 --> 0:02:05.459 We talked about those from more key games, but don't sleep. 0:02:05.499 --> 0:02:06.979 You get a chance to see the number one overall 0:02:07.019 --> 0:02:09.299 pick playing host of the Tennessee. 0:02:08.859 --> 0:02:10.219 Titans at Chicago. 0:02:10.299 --> 0:02:13.339 How about that Jags Dolphins in a Florida battle, And 0:02:13.419 --> 0:02:16.659 then we'll get to the afternoon games. In week one, 0:02:17.019 --> 0:02:20.739 we could see Greg Rolsenthal Gino Smith making his debut 0:02:21.099 --> 0:02:22.419 playing host of the Broncos. 0:02:22.499 --> 0:02:23.659 The sad Russ isn't there? 0:02:23.779 --> 0:02:26.059 Yeah, no no Russ this time, No no late game 0:02:26.099 --> 0:02:28.979 magic there, the Jets and the forty nine ers looking 0:02:28.979 --> 0:02:31.699 forward to that one coming up on September ninth. 0:02:31.899 --> 0:02:33.299 So much to look ahead to. 0:02:33.419 --> 0:02:35.299 So let's dive in and talk about the games that 0:02:35.339 --> 0:02:38.219 we are most excited about from that Week one. 0:02:38.379 --> 0:02:40.379 Graphics, Cynthia, what's your look at it? 0:02:40.859 --> 0:02:44.739 I Am going to start where it all starts Thursday night, Arrowhead. 0:02:45.219 --> 0:02:48.659 What is better than seeing Patrick Mahomes take on the 0:02:48.779 --> 0:02:51.899 reigning League MVP. It is just a second time we've 0:02:51.939 --> 0:02:54.619 had this situation, meaning the Super Bowl champs and the 0:02:54.739 --> 0:02:58.419 raining Super Bowl MVP against the League MVP. Last time 0:02:58.459 --> 0:03:00.779 it was your Patriots, and by the way, the Patriots 0:03:00.819 --> 0:03:03.459 they did win after you know, winning the Super Bowl 0:03:03.579 --> 0:03:05.779 just prior. But this is a great one. This is 0:03:05.779 --> 0:03:08.219 what we've all been looking for. It's a rematch of 0:03:08.259 --> 0:03:10.739 a game that Patrick. Did you pick the Ravens. 0:03:10.499 --> 0:03:10.859 In that one? 0:03:10.899 --> 0:03:13.299 I did pick the The result was a little disciplined. 0:03:13.299 --> 0:03:15.499 It's okay, It's still like you can pick the We 0:03:15.539 --> 0:03:16.939 can already just tell you that you're gonna pick the 0:03:17.019 --> 0:03:17.779 Ravens week one. 0:03:17.859 --> 0:03:19.579 Now block that in. 0:03:20.659 --> 0:03:22.899 It's just it's pretty much a known already. But it's 0:03:22.939 --> 0:03:24.019 gonna be a great way to start. 0:03:24.419 --> 0:03:26.299 I love starting strong like that. It's Week one. 0:03:26.339 --> 0:03:28.819 I think it's the best football week of the year, 0:03:28.899 --> 0:03:30.859 and now we're adding a day to it. My favorite 0:03:30.859 --> 0:03:33.899 game in Week one is on Friday. It's in Brazil. 0:03:33.939 --> 0:03:37.139 What what is happening? The Green Bay Packers and the 0:03:37.139 --> 0:03:42.019 Philadelphia Eagles. I'm really excited for this one, uh because 0:03:42.059 --> 0:03:44.739 I want to see what the Eagles are doing schematically 0:03:44.979 --> 0:03:47.579 now with a new offensive coordinator. Are they gonna be 0:03:47.779 --> 0:03:51.179 as much into the touchbush? Are they gonna use Jalen 0:03:51.219 --> 0:03:53.379 Hurts in the same way running? You know, first week 0:03:53.419 --> 0:03:55.539 you kind of break out all the bells and whistles. 0:03:55.699 --> 0:03:58.699 They're going up against a new Packers defense dude, defensive 0:03:58.739 --> 0:04:02.379 coordinator Jeff Halflee. He's in our lives now, like we 0:04:02.419 --> 0:04:03.699 don't know what's gonna high life. 0:04:03.739 --> 0:04:05.379 And I went to Boston College. He's been in my 0:04:05.419 --> 0:04:05.699 life and. 0:04:05.739 --> 0:04:07.059 You know what, he's a good defensive goath. 0:04:07.139 --> 0:04:11.379 Jordan Love to me is a box office, just one 0:04:11.379 --> 0:04:14.339 of the best pure throwers of the football that we've seen. 0:04:14.379 --> 0:04:17.619 And then finally it's the Brazilian fans in just a 0:04:17.659 --> 0:04:19.179 setting that we haven't seen. 0:04:19.379 --> 0:04:20.899 Brazil's been watching these games. 0:04:20.939 --> 0:04:23.059 I know we have a huge audience in Brazil, in 0:04:23.139 --> 0:04:25.779 Germany and in England, and everyone's like, oh, the crowds 0:04:25.779 --> 0:04:28.099 are so great there and they're like just wait, like 0:04:28.939 --> 0:04:30.659 we laugh at the energy you're bringing. 0:04:30.699 --> 0:04:32.419 Brazil is gonna make it okay crazy. 0:04:32.579 --> 0:04:34.859 The best time zone of all of the international games 0:04:34.859 --> 0:04:37.539 as well, time zone perfection, well multo. 0:04:38.459 --> 0:04:40.619 Something that we can enjoy, and I think the newness 0:04:40.659 --> 0:04:43.139 plays into that. And that's why my game features a 0:04:43.179 --> 0:04:46.299 little bit of newness as well, because you could get 0:04:46.339 --> 0:04:48.579 a couple of playoff teams. Of course, there's some rematches, 0:04:48.579 --> 0:04:50.419 we're gonna go over those in just a second, but 0:04:50.459 --> 0:04:53.059 what about a team that just got in and a 0:04:53.099 --> 0:04:56.259 team that just didn't get in. And that's the Falcons 0:04:56.299 --> 0:04:58.219 taking on the Pittsburgh Steelers. 0:04:58.379 --> 0:05:01.739 Look at Kirk Cousins showing up there in Flowery. 0:05:01.259 --> 0:05:02.499 Branch laughing at your pick. 0:05:02.659 --> 0:05:06.139 Well he could be laughing, but there's Russell Wilson, super 0:05:06.139 --> 0:05:11.419 Bowl champion Russell Wilson. And how about Arthur Smith besmersed 0:05:11.739 --> 0:05:13.979 not just by Jamis Winston and the Saints, but by 0:05:14.059 --> 0:05:17.259 Atlanta subsequently before that, then he gets fired. 0:05:17.299 --> 0:05:19.139 Now he's got a team, if. 0:05:18.979 --> 0:05:22.539 Not one, but two fully operational quarterbacks in an offense 0:05:22.539 --> 0:05:24.219 where he can construct his vision. 0:05:24.299 --> 0:05:25.499 I think that's an exciting game. 0:05:25.539 --> 0:05:27.419 And we get to see Kyle Pitts with a quarterback, 0:05:27.619 --> 0:05:28.579 maybe two quarterbacks. 0:05:28.699 --> 0:05:30.939 Is Kurt gonna play? Is it? Michael Pennock Junior. There's 0:05:30.939 --> 0:05:32.899 so many storylines that we can overreact to. That's what 0:05:32.899 --> 0:05:33.179 I love. 0:05:33.219 --> 0:05:36.099 You're already drafting Kyle Pitts as your tight end number 0:05:36.099 --> 0:05:36.659 one as well. 0:05:36.739 --> 0:05:38.259 We've locked in Patrick's. 0:05:38.299 --> 0:05:40.499 This game is a very Patrick selection. But I gotta 0:05:40.499 --> 0:05:42.219 give it to you, it's the right one. You actually 0:05:42.259 --> 0:05:43.379 were right on the seas. 0:05:43.579 --> 0:05:45.299 See, there we go. We start with a win for me. 0:05:45.379 --> 0:05:47.859 Everything of course is going to start though with that 0:05:47.939 --> 0:05:49.619 AFC Championship game rematch. 0:05:50.779 --> 0:05:51.419 That won't be our. 0:05:51.419 --> 0:05:54.499 Loan opportunity to see Kansas City on the big stage. 0:05:54.539 --> 0:05:57.659 They ended the season with that Miko Hardman walk off touchdown. 0:05:57.899 --> 0:06:01.139 The Chiefs are gonna have plenty of games, in fact, 0:06:01.219 --> 0:06:05.179 five games in prime time up next season. They trying 0:06:05.179 --> 0:06:07.699 to win their ninth straight AFC West title. Andy Reid 0:06:07.739 --> 0:06:10.539 squad also has a big matchup on Black Friday against 0:06:10.579 --> 0:06:12.379 their rival Raiders, the last team. 0:06:12.179 --> 0:06:14.659 To beat them. So this is a look at their 0:06:14.819 --> 0:06:16.059 full schedule. 0:06:16.099 --> 0:06:18.939 We get a really fun start against a couple of 0:06:18.979 --> 0:06:20.219 AFC North teams. 0:06:19.939 --> 0:06:21.739 And the Ravens and the Bengals. 0:06:22.459 --> 0:06:27.099 But Cynthia Casey has won at least ten games for 0:06:27.339 --> 0:06:28.739 nine straight seasons. 0:06:29.979 --> 0:06:30.779 Do they do it again? 0:06:30.979 --> 0:06:34.099 So it's may meaning the win totals are closer to 0:06:34.139 --> 0:06:37.619 that half way mark. However, the best win total projection 0:06:37.699 --> 0:06:41.419 in the entire AFC Chiefs ten point nine wins, so 0:06:41.419 --> 0:06:44.099 that rounds up to eleven by the time the season starts. 0:06:44.179 --> 0:06:46.819 Look for that number to creep up closer to twelve. 0:06:47.179 --> 0:06:50.299 The lucky thing for the Chiefs in general is that 0:06:50.339 --> 0:06:50.899 they get. 0:06:50.699 --> 0:06:51.859 To play the NFC South. 0:06:51.939 --> 0:06:53.699 That's a little bit of shade to the South, but 0:06:53.819 --> 0:06:57.139 it's also not really because that's just the way the schedule. 0:06:56.779 --> 0:06:58.259 Look at that NFC South. 0:06:59.379 --> 0:07:03.259 Hey, you know, I'm sorry. I'm sorry, not sorry. 0:07:03.099 --> 0:07:04.099 Getting the division on it. 0:07:05.019 --> 0:07:09.379 Win just the Ultimately, they're tied for the sixteenth hardest 0:07:09.419 --> 0:07:12.059 schedule in twenty twenty four based on last season's opponent 0:07:12.099 --> 0:07:12.819 win percentages. 0:07:12.859 --> 0:07:14.459 So let's check out who's got. 0:07:14.339 --> 0:07:17.979 The roughest schedule ahead of them Rougher than the Chiefs. 0:07:18.419 --> 0:07:20.619 It's the Browns, the Ravens, and the Steelers. 0:07:20.619 --> 0:07:23.099 If you can figure out the commonality there, it's pretty obvious. 0:07:23.099 --> 0:07:25.939 And in the Texans and the Packers woea tied the 0:07:26.499 --> 0:07:30.659 twenty four New York Giants tied for sixth in terms 0:07:30.699 --> 0:07:32.299 of roughest schedule. 0:07:32.579 --> 0:07:33.739 A team just feels mean. 0:07:33.939 --> 0:07:36.579 Yeah then and the Patriots, I guess in the Raiders 0:07:36.859 --> 0:07:39.579 not even really close to the playoffs last year. 0:07:39.659 --> 0:07:40.739 So those are the numbers. 0:07:41.139 --> 0:07:43.659 But in your mind, Greg Rosenthal, in your mind and 0:07:43.699 --> 0:07:46.659 your perception, who has the toughest schedule in twenty Yeah. 0:07:46.499 --> 0:07:48.259 I don't really buy into the strength of schedule. So 0:07:48.299 --> 0:07:50.259 many things have changed. So I'm picking a team not 0:07:50.299 --> 0:07:53.179 even on that entire board. It's the Detroit Lions. So 0:07:53.219 --> 0:07:56.179 what I look at is your division schedule first of all. 0:07:56.299 --> 0:07:58.019 So to me, the hardest schedule has to be. 0:07:57.979 --> 0:08:01.099 A team from the AFC North or the NFC North, 0:08:01.179 --> 0:08:03.459 which I believe are the two best divisions. It's crazy 0:08:03.499 --> 0:08:06.059 the NFC North can now be put in that category. 0:08:06.139 --> 0:08:09.139 It's four tough games now seven playoff teams from a 0:08:09.179 --> 0:08:10.699 year ago. Then I go out of division. 0:08:10.779 --> 0:08:13.259 They got to play the NFC West in the NFC 0:08:13.379 --> 0:08:15.779 out of division. I think that's very difficult. Then I 0:08:15.819 --> 0:08:18.459 look at the first place schedule. What's different than the 0:08:18.499 --> 0:08:20.819 rest of your teams. The Lions, for instance, have to 0:08:20.819 --> 0:08:23.019 play the Cowboy. That's a tough one. And then that 0:08:23.219 --> 0:08:26.579 seventeenth game, which is really like an X factor when 0:08:26.619 --> 0:08:28.779 looking at the schedules. What's their seventeenth game? 0:08:28.899 --> 0:08:30.979 Just the fun game the NFL wants to throw them. 0:08:31.099 --> 0:08:33.939 The Buffalo Bills always consistently good. I think it's a 0:08:33.979 --> 0:08:35.939 tough schedule for the Lions and a lot of primetime, 0:08:35.939 --> 0:08:37.139 a lot of pressure on your team. 0:08:37.259 --> 0:08:40.779 Oh listen, everyone needs Honolulu blue in primetime. It's just 0:08:40.779 --> 0:08:43.979 such a beautiful color. We can all agree. Another team 0:08:43.979 --> 0:08:47.019 with a beautiful color, the Jacksonville Jaguars, of course, tied 0:08:47.099 --> 0:08:49.699 for eighth on that list we saw before from last year. 0:08:50.019 --> 0:08:52.459 But let's just talk about how they start this year 0:08:52.899 --> 0:08:57.899 at Miami, yuck against Cleveland at home, double yuck at Buffalo, 0:08:58.139 --> 0:08:59.739 woof at Houston. 0:08:59.979 --> 0:09:01.219 That's the first four games. 0:09:01.419 --> 0:09:05.659 That is a really interesting Welcome to twenty twenty four. 0:09:05.819 --> 0:09:06.779 Trevor Lawrence. 0:09:06.899 --> 0:09:10.739 Are you made of what we thought you were or not? 0:09:10.819 --> 0:09:13.419 It's gonna start real strong, It's gonna start real heavy. 0:09:13.699 --> 0:09:17.019 Did they do enough in free agency? That's a really 0:09:17.219 --> 0:09:19.779 tough schedule and by the way, there by isn't until 0:09:19.859 --> 0:09:20.779 late week twelve. 0:09:20.859 --> 0:09:27.059 So yeah, don't question Trevor around Patrick, It's. 0:09:26.899 --> 0:09:29.579 Safe to question literally everybody because all of these games 0:09:29.619 --> 0:09:32.019 are gonna be tough, and that's why the schedule is tough. 0:09:32.219 --> 0:09:34.979 But I'm looking at the Detroit Lions, who were Greg's pick. 0:09:35.539 --> 0:09:37.779 They believe in their quarterback. I think the Jags believe 0:09:37.819 --> 0:09:40.019 in their quarterback. I'm going to take the Browns here 0:09:40.339 --> 0:09:43.059 because one part of having a tough schedule is being 0:09:43.099 --> 0:09:45.219 the team that plays that schedule. They go in with 0:09:45.219 --> 0:09:48.059 Deshaun Watson returning a quarterback, and you just saw the 0:09:48.099 --> 0:09:51.739 tough schedule graphic. Yes, those teams in the AFC North 0:09:52.019 --> 0:09:54.859 are good. But here's a stretch for the Cleveland Browns. 0:09:54.939 --> 0:09:58.659 This season they played the Ravens. Of course, they have 0:09:58.779 --> 0:10:00.899 the Eagles, Bengals. 0:10:00.299 --> 0:10:03.219 And Ravens in one stretch. The next stretch later on. 0:10:03.139 --> 0:10:07.459 In the season is Steve Deelers, Chiefs, Bengals, Dolphins consecutively 0:10:07.779 --> 0:10:10.499 for the Browns. I believe in the Browns defense, but 0:10:10.579 --> 0:10:13.419 we've seen what the Browns can do and cannot do, 0:10:13.899 --> 0:10:15.659 and I just feel like that's. 0:10:15.539 --> 0:10:17.979 A very, very difficult schedule, but we will see that 0:10:18.139 --> 0:10:19.539 the time comes. 0:10:19.539 --> 0:10:22.299 Because this is the consummate team sport. We got eleven 0:10:22.379 --> 0:10:25.819 guys working together, We've got one hundred and fifty plus 0:10:25.859 --> 0:10:28.579 support staff. But it all comes down ultimately when we 0:10:28.579 --> 0:10:31.179 talk about these games, Hey, which quarterback is playing against. 0:10:30.979 --> 0:10:33.179 The other quarterback? So let's do that, shall we. 0:10:33.459 --> 0:10:35.459 There is some quarterback matchups. Of course, We've got the 0:10:35.499 --> 0:10:38.339 MVP and the Super Bowl MVP. We got the trade 0:10:38.459 --> 0:10:43.259 number one overall pick Rams Lions Battle. We've got the 0:10:43.379 --> 0:10:46.779 number one overall pick going against the number two overall picks. 0:10:46.859 --> 0:10:50.019 So many possible quarterback storylines. Despite the fact that these 0:10:50.059 --> 0:10:52.419 guys are on the field at the same time. So 0:10:52.459 --> 0:10:55.859 what let's talk about some quarterback not necessarily matchups, but 0:10:55.979 --> 0:10:59.819 games we're looking forward to seeing both quarterbacks playing in 0:10:59.859 --> 0:11:01.339 one particular game, Greg, what's your. 0:11:01.219 --> 0:11:03.659 Favorite for by it's two particular games. 0:11:03.699 --> 0:11:08.019 It's the AFC South matchups with Anthony Richardson and CJ. Stroud, 0:11:08.059 --> 0:11:09.379 And one of them is in Week one, which, like 0:11:09.379 --> 0:11:10.739 I said, is football Christmas. 0:11:10.739 --> 0:11:11.539 You unwrap it. 0:11:11.619 --> 0:11:14.179 And you know what I enjoyed as a present back 0:11:14.219 --> 0:11:16.859 in twenty twenty three, the one hundred and twenty minutes 0:11:17.099 --> 0:11:19.539 of the two complete games we saw out of Anthony 0:11:19.619 --> 0:11:23.659 Richardson because they were electric. He was as good a 0:11:23.659 --> 0:11:27.779 combination of decision making, arm strength and running ability as 0:11:27.819 --> 0:11:30.019 I've seen in a while. And who's he going up against? 0:11:30.179 --> 0:11:32.459 One of the best rookie quarterbacks of all. 0:11:32.219 --> 0:11:33.219 Time in CJ. 0:11:33.339 --> 0:11:36.059 Stroud now improving into year two, and this is a 0:11:36.099 --> 0:11:39.259 matchup we get to see twice a year. They played 0:11:39.299 --> 0:11:41.739 last year and they both played really well. And yeah, 0:11:41.779 --> 0:11:44.299 I get excited about the quarterbacks. As you mentioned, I'm 0:11:44.339 --> 0:11:46.899 excited about the young quarterbacks. And you're usually better in 0:11:46.939 --> 0:11:49.059 your second year. That's when you improve the most. 0:11:49.619 --> 0:11:52.859 There's so many takes right about young quarterbacks, and we've 0:11:52.859 --> 0:11:55.459 seen a lot of them directed at two in the 0:11:55.499 --> 0:11:59.419 AFC East, particularly Tatonga Barloa as well as Josh. 0:11:59.219 --> 0:12:01.179 Allen, and those are the games I'm looking forward to. 0:12:01.259 --> 0:12:03.179 I would like to see both of those as well as. 0:12:03.099 --> 0:12:06.059 We get the Week two game, but it's really that 0:12:06.419 --> 0:12:09.859 Week nine game, that late season matchup between the Bills 0:12:09.899 --> 0:12:12.059 and the Dolphins that always seems to have so many 0:12:12.419 --> 0:12:13.859 implications playoff wise. 0:12:13.899 --> 0:12:14.899 Of course, the takes. 0:12:14.659 --> 0:12:16.779 Are gonna mean that only one of these quarterbacks can 0:12:16.819 --> 0:12:19.299 be good and have a viable career and all sorts 0:12:19.339 --> 0:12:19.659 of things. 0:12:19.739 --> 0:12:22.099 But the games themselves are fun. 0:12:22.219 --> 0:12:25.019 They inspire conversations about who can play in cold weather 0:12:25.179 --> 0:12:25.859 and all of that. 0:12:26.459 --> 0:12:28.659 I'm just really looking forward to seeing it. Yet again, 0:12:28.659 --> 0:12:29.379 what about you, Cynthia. 0:12:29.499 --> 0:12:31.619 I legit thought you guys were gonna do some like 0:12:31.699 --> 0:12:32.819 petty party stuff like. 0:12:32.819 --> 0:12:35.619 Kirk Cousins and Minnesota. 0:12:34.899 --> 0:12:37.699 Or even Derek Carr against the Raiders. These all happen 0:12:37.739 --> 0:12:42.219 this season, but we still have the Brady Manning rivalry 0:12:42.259 --> 0:12:45.299 of our generation, so I'm always gonna pick that whenever 0:12:45.339 --> 0:12:48.459 it happens. Of course, Josh Allen and Patrick Mahomes who 0:12:48.499 --> 0:12:50.939 match up in Week eleven until. 0:12:50.779 --> 0:12:52.019 They're not in the league anymore. 0:12:52.179 --> 0:12:54.259 This will you can slate that in for next year. 0:12:54.299 --> 0:12:56.099 What is my favorite matchup if there are to play 0:12:56.139 --> 0:12:56.499 each other? 0:12:56.819 --> 0:12:58.899 That is Java's watching this thinking like, how come I 0:12:58.939 --> 0:12:59.539 camp be in this. 0:12:59.499 --> 0:13:02.339 Little Sorry Joe, sorry, honey, you gotta stay healthy. This 0:13:02.659 --> 0:13:05.139 is the game that everybody wants to see. 0:13:05.659 --> 0:13:06.739 Are the Bills gonna be. 0:13:06.699 --> 0:13:10.579 Okay with their remade pass catching situation? What does Joe 0:13:10.619 --> 0:13:13.419 Brady their offensive coordinate now? What does he have in 0:13:13.459 --> 0:13:14.059 store for them? 0:13:14.299 --> 0:13:15.139 And of course. 0:13:15.059 --> 0:13:17.619 Patrick Mahomes and they trained Xavier Worthy. 0:13:17.979 --> 0:13:21.779 His draft pick was the Bills. There's so many storylines and. 0:13:21.619 --> 0:13:25.019 It's Mahomes and it's the Brady and Manning of our time. 0:13:25.139 --> 0:13:26.859 It's two guys who could throw the ball really far, 0:13:26.899 --> 0:13:29.619 and we're really looking forward seeing them yet again, speaking 0:13:29.699 --> 0:13:32.539 of when Patrick Mahomes, We're getting a little Christmas treat 0:13:33.179 --> 0:13:36.139 coming up this year.

You can 0:15:08.419 --> 0:15:10.379 watch that all day long if you want. This game 0:15:10.419 --> 0:15:13.939 was crazy if you think about it. The Chiefs only 0:15:14.299 --> 0:15:17.299 scored six points in their first nine possessions and had 0:15:17.299 --> 0:15:19.499 two turnovers. The forty nine er should have won this 0:15:19.579 --> 0:15:21.859 game like nine times out of ten. They were leading 0:15:21.899 --> 0:15:24.859 this game ten to nothing. They had a second and 0:15:24.939 --> 0:15:28.779 four at the nine yard line in overtime. They gave 0:15:28.819 --> 0:15:32.259 this one away. We talk about revenge games all the time. 0:15:33.179 --> 0:15:35.259 It's not gonna make up for it winning a regular 0:15:35.299 --> 0:15:38.819 season game. But go win a ballgame at home against 0:15:38.899 --> 0:15:41.539 the Chiefs and at least feel better on that day. 0:15:41.659 --> 0:15:44.299 Okay, go win a bush, win a ball game. 0:15:44.539 --> 0:15:47.059 How about win two halves of the ballgame, not just 0:15:47.099 --> 0:15:49.819 the one half. My choice is obviously A week seventeen, 0:15:50.179 --> 0:15:54.499 the Detroit Lions the San Francisco forty nine Ers. Let's 0:15:54.539 --> 0:15:58.859 see if the Lions can play two halves of football huh, how. 0:15:58.739 --> 0:16:00.459 Are we doing on that? They did do. 0:16:00.659 --> 0:16:03.739 A lot to address the secondary, both in free agency 0:16:03.939 --> 0:16:07.619 and drafting, but I'm gonna tell you it doesn't get 0:16:07.659 --> 0:16:10.499 easier because the forty nine ers also address some of 0:16:10.539 --> 0:16:15.019 their issues. So in my estimation, if they had to 0:16:15.019 --> 0:16:17.379 redo it again, Dan Cambill probably wouldn't have kicked the 0:16:17.419 --> 0:16:18.899 field goal in the end of the first half. He 0:16:18.939 --> 0:16:21.459 probably would have went for it because that was his identity. 0:16:21.659 --> 0:16:24.019 It's not an analytics choice. It was an identity choice. 0:16:24.179 --> 0:16:27.779 Perhaps everything could be different. So the butterfly flaps the wings, 0:16:28.019 --> 0:16:30.859 maybe this time everything will be different like this. 0:16:30.859 --> 0:16:33.579 In Week seventeen too, So many good games early, but 0:16:33.619 --> 0:16:34.419 you got to save. 0:16:35.219 --> 0:16:37.419 It's a really good way to ring out twenty twenty four, 0:16:37.579 --> 0:16:39.939 you know, like one day before Newyear's Eve. 0:16:40.179 --> 0:16:42.099 I think before we get to all of those things, 0:16:42.499 --> 0:16:44.179 we have to go with what happened when the butterfly 0:16:44.339 --> 0:16:46.859 initially flapped. It swaps, and we go all the way 0:16:46.899 --> 0:16:49.859 back to the Lions playing host of the Rams in 0:16:49.939 --> 0:16:53.699 the playoffs, and leading up to that game, the thought was, hey, 0:16:53.779 --> 0:16:56.419 you know the Rams are resurgent. They're a late team. 0:16:56.539 --> 0:16:58.579 You know, we don't know if the Lions are they were, 0:16:58.939 --> 0:17:01.299 The Lions were ready, and Jared Goff is fresh off 0:17:01.339 --> 0:17:02.139 of getting. 0:17:01.819 --> 0:17:05.219 Paid with another chance to stick at the Shawn and revenge. 0:17:05.379 --> 0:17:07.699 As Dan Campbell said, he's good enough for Detroit. Another 0:17:07.779 --> 0:17:10.099 chance for him to show it in the very first 0:17:10.139 --> 0:17:12.659 week of the season. And it's like Greg said, it's 0:17:12.699 --> 0:17:15.819 unwrapping the Christmas present. It's opening things up and we 0:17:15.859 --> 0:17:19.339 will see what the Rams look like without a first 0:17:19.339 --> 0:17:21.019
