00:07 Despite what happened throughout the game, you know, the previous week,
00:10 you know, we were able to finish the game out.
00:12 And I think that's a good step for us.
00:15 So, I think if we can just kind of carry what we did the first 56 minutes of the
00:19 game against Detroit the first time and finish it out like we did against the
00:23 Vikings this last week, we'll be in pretty good shape.
00:26 You can't really mark it as a full change until you do it consistently.
00:29 So, you know, we did it once there and we did it, you know, against Carolina too
00:35 at the end of the game.
00:36 So, you know, those are some, you know, kind of key points there.
00:39 But we got to be able to do it consistently to say that's a full change,
00:42 you know.
00:43 So, continue to kind of work those things, work those situations throughout the
00:46 week of practice.
00:47 And yeah, but we got to be able to do this thing consistently if we want to be,
00:52 you know, a team that can vie for the playoffs and win playoff games.
00:55 So, you just got to show that we can do that on a consistent basis before we can
00:59 change.
00:59 Look, I still think we're running the ball really well.
01:01 Past couple games, you know, you look at our third down in red zone, it's dropped
01:05 a little bit compared to where it was in weeks prior.
01:08 So, we want to get that back up going.
01:11 And then obviously the way we finished the game against Minnesota I thought was a
01:15 positive.
01:16 So, look, you know, we finished these five out here and, you know, obviously I'm
01:22 treating it like we're in playoff mode now.
01:24 You know, I think five very winnable games here to end the season and, you
01:28 know, who knows what can happen at nine and eight.
01:29 And, you know, I'm not looking too big picture, but, you know, you take it one
01:33 week at a time.
01:33 But I think, look, there's a lot of flux at the bottom of the NFC here, you know,
01:39 especially for that seven-six spot.
01:42 And, you know, you never know what can happen, but you just got to take it one
01:44 week at a time and we'll see what happens.
01:46 And that's why, you know, I was talking about the margins being so thin and, you
01:50 know, you definitely look back at a couple games in the season and, you know, I can
01:54 think of two that, you know, really, really should have won.
01:58 And, you know, you win those, you're just out of the playoff mark at this point.
02:03 But we are where we're at right now and, you know, that's this league.
02:07 But at the end of the day, you know, we're still -- you're still kind of in it
02:11 even though it's been a, you know, a really not a great start to start the
02:14 season out here.
02:14 But you got five games to finish this thing off and we'll see where it lays if
02:18 we can get to nine and eight.
