00:00Is this I've been told you want to ask a question.
00:01We have a simple one, a poll question.
00:03You can only watch one game this weekend.
00:05Michigan, Michigan State or Lions Titans.
00:08Oh, Michigan, Michigan State.
00:09OK, the Lions are just they're going to steamroll this team.
00:12That's boring.
00:14Like I've reached, I've reached that the Lions are so good.
00:17They're not really interesting.
00:19I go in expecting wins.
00:21They deliver wins.
00:22And in a lot of these games, guys, how many quarters of actual football
00:25am I watching now?
00:27Last week was a wonderful game, right?
00:30What are you, 12 point favorites?
00:31Titans traded Hopkins.
00:33I got a lot of points in an NFL game.
00:35I know that if Will Levis plays, he's going to probably give you 14
00:39by yourself, by himself.
00:41But I noted that the three Wolverines on the show also,
00:44they'd rather watch the Lions.
00:45And I, yeah, but I also think I just want to watch a Super Bowl team.
00:49I think the negativity about Michigan's gone a little far.
00:52And that's me saying, I know they're not great.
00:54I know it's not going to be some special year.
00:57But the idea that they're just simply not going to win a game
01:00the rest of the way, let me at least see Saturday.
01:02If they lose the state, then, you know, OK, you know what?
01:05This thing might go off the rails because kids could start
01:08making business decisions, which is gross to say.
01:11But I'm like, I'm not going into that game confident.
01:15That's why that's more interesting to me.
01:17So I said the Lions, I just go here, roll the ball on the field.
01:21They're going to beat the tight.
01:22Yeah, they argument for the Lions, though, is I just don't want to miss a moment.
01:26If this is truly a Super Bowl run, I get that.
01:28I don't want to miss a moment.
01:29I get that.
01:30And truly, it's more it's entertaining when it's your team
01:34and they put up what, 30?
01:35Yeah, 35. Who knows, 40?
01:38So I get it.
01:39I just for me, I like the drama and I like the hatred.
01:41I enjoy that.
01:43Let the hate get in your veins.
01:45Inject it. Yeah, it's like caffeine.
01:47You got to have it.
01:48John, you want to see if he'll hop on the bus?
01:50Yeah. I mean, hey, 14 and three.
01:51I asked the question yesterday.
01:52I both gov and I.
01:56At the beginning of the season, when the schedule came out,
01:58yeah, we did the schedule game.
02:0114 and three.
02:02OK, and I got crucified by a lot of people.
02:05There were some that were like, yeah, hey, you know, let's go.
02:08And a lot of Kool-Aid drinkers.
02:09Well, I busted your balls because I go, John's got them going 20, you know,
02:12and they only play 17 games. Right.
02:15But 14 and three now at where with where they are, the wins at the end.
02:19And I think last week was very telling.
02:21They had many opportunities to go in the tank and lose that game.
02:25Do I get a pass rusher?
02:27You this is this is the beauty of the question.
02:29You've got to trust that in the next two weeks, Brad Holmes
02:34does what it takes to make this team better.
02:36Now, do I think it's Miles Garrett or Max Crosby?
02:39No, I don't think that's a chance.
02:41But do they do something in the next two weeks to make this team better on the edge?
02:46That's where there's a measure of trust.
02:47When you say yes, right now, I'm going to say 14 and three.
02:51I'd open the doors. I'll get on.
02:53I'm a man. I'll get on. Yeah, they're good.
02:57And guys, part of it is when I look at the layout of this whole season,
03:02they're clearly to me the best team in the NFC.
03:05How many games do I expect them to lose? Rest it away.
03:09All right. Even if you split at Lambeau at Houston, you just drop one.
03:14The only other game that's on this schedule where I know they're losing
03:19in my heart, it's just what will happen is the bills.
03:22I don't know why. I just feel like Josh Allen's going to stab us on Thanksgiving Day.
03:27But then there's the other side of it where I go, all right,
03:29they never went in Chicago. Right, right.
03:32Are you going to sweep the board?
03:35He's promising me a pass.
03:38I'll hop on the bus, but it's tepid.
03:40I'm in the front row. I can walk down the steps when I want.
03:43But I'll say I'm in.
03:45Jim, I'm still have another chance.
03:47That's still on the twelve and five. Wow.
03:50Yeah, but I understand both sides of this.
03:52There is a show me like Jim is.
03:54I want to see the pass rusher they add because they adding a pass rusher
03:58feels like a must.
03:59But what caliber to me and this division makes me think that you don't believe
04:03that Brad Holmes will do what it takes to add to the edge.
04:07What Campbell has said.
04:09What he said, even though they win this.
04:11What if part of my belief is we are watching a once a decade
04:17offense where the OC, the coach and the quarterback have complete synergy?
04:23Yeah. And this offense is willing to be more aggressive than most golf.
04:28I did a topic yesterday.
04:29I said, look, it's Lamar, it's Alan, it's golf.
04:33There's your three MVP candidates. Yeah.
04:34And I did the numbers, the whole thing.
04:36You got an MVP caliber quarterback.
04:38You get the best OC in the sport who should be a head coach,
04:41but he doesn't want to be. And that's fine.
04:43And you got a head coach who's always going to empower the two of them
04:45with, oh, fourth and five.
04:48Yeah, whatever you want. Let's roll.
04:50Like, yeah, yeah, I guess I get where John, I'll ride with it
04:53because honestly, the other teams in this town stink.
04:56So let's roll.
04:57I'm all for it.
04:58But we also have to acknowledge just divisions better
05:00than we thought it was going to be preseason, right?
05:01All of them have a winning record.
05:03We think there could be at least three of them in the playoffs.
05:05Is it really crazy to suggest all the reason why you'd split with Green Bay?
05:09You'd split with Chicago because of the road game bills you've already mentioned.
05:13What if Texans get back?
05:14Niko Collins, this wouldn't mean the Lions are a bad team.
05:17What if they lose a couple more?
05:18What if Minnesota is just not who you thought they were?
05:21This is now three weeks in a row.
05:22Sam Darnold doesn't look that good.
05:24And again, he had all the time in the world against the Lions.
05:26He just still couldn't do it.
05:28I don't know.
05:29You're probably going to be right.
05:31But he had the man asked me a question.
05:33I err more on his side than going to negative.
05:3812 wins is negative.
05:39Wow. Mike Cullen's somewhat negative.
05:43It is. It is. Yes.
05:45But no, that's I'll get on the bus.
05:47I don't want to get left in the bus stop.
05:49That's no fun. Lonely to be there.
05:50It's cold. It's gray. It's wet outside.
05:53I'm waiting for an Uber while you guys are all partying on the way.
