00:00How much would you say was for real versus fun?
00:02So obviously it was fun.
00:03It's the most fun you could have.
00:05But I'd say a lot of it's for real.
00:06Now, the things you mentioned specifically are not, right?
00:09But if you told me big picture,
00:11an offense that can take advantage of a bad defense,
00:13a quarterback that's dynamic,
00:15a group that can move the football
00:16with a pretty good plan from the offensive coordinator,
00:18I do think that's for real.
00:19I also think it's for real.
00:20They're gonna give up a million yards and points.
00:22I also think it's for real
00:23that that defense can't stop anybody.
00:25So they're gonna have some games like that.
00:27Now, I don't think you're having that against Baltimore.
00:29You're probably not doing that against Pittsburgh
00:32or maybe some of the other teams, right?
00:33They'll have something to say about it
00:34on that side of the ball.
00:35So you might get stuff there.
00:37But if you play a team that's bad on defense,
00:41you're gonna see some special stuff here and there
00:43with the quarterback that's dynamic.
00:44So to me, there's a lot of it big picture that's for real.
00:46Again, the specifics you mentioned,
00:48you couldn't have been more fortunate
00:49on a million different fronts.
00:51And that's football, that happens.
00:52I'm not taking anything away from that performance.
00:54It was amazing.
00:55But there'll be a fourth penalty in a couple of weeks.
00:58That's gonna happen.
00:59It will not be another game I don't think that they play
01:01where they are so constantly for almost three quarters
01:05ahead of the chains in really opportune situations
01:09for play calling and play making.
01:11I mean, it's just not going to happen.
01:12So it was the ultimate kind of 72 and sunny environment
01:15in that way.
01:16Shouldn't have been because it was so loud
01:18and the crowd was so into the game
01:21for probably two and a half quarters, I would say.
01:23And then things really dissipated in house
01:26where fans were leaving and getting disenfranchised.
01:30And based on three games, not just one,
01:32we're starting to get angry and turn on the bangles
01:34and started doing right around halftime.
01:37But I think what was for real to me was,
01:40I think that is as good as it gets for Cliff Kingsbury,
01:44but the offensive design and getting guys open
01:48and when he wasn't right, Jayden Daniels made him right.
01:52Occasionally he made life easy on Daniels.
01:55I think that's the apex of what they can be.
01:58I don't think they'll have another game like that.
02:00To me, that's going to be Kingsbury's best game as a OC.
02:03That will probably be Daniels' best game
02:05of the season as a quarterback.
02:07So just because it's the ceiling performance
02:10doesn't mean it's not authentic, it's for real.
02:13It's just not going to be the norm, if that makes sense.
02:15It's like a sharpshooter in basketball
02:18who has that in his bag where he can go out
02:22and shoot the lights out and hang 40,
02:24but more often than not,
02:25he's going to miss some of those open looks
02:26and he's going to have 27 or 28,
02:29which is still really good too.
