00:00Well, I'll tell you what, week three is always really tricky, right?

00:06Week two is tricky.

00:08Week one, everybody thinks they know what these teams are going to be, when we really

00:11don't.

00:12And then week two, you know, you're not sure, was, you know, what, what happened in week

00:16one?

00:17The Saints are a good example.

00:18Okay.

00:19So what?

00:20They beat, um, they beat the Carolina Panthers.

00:22Then they actually smoked the, uh, the Dallas Cowboys after, you know, and people are ready

00:27to anoint the Saints right now.

00:29And I actually do think they can, you know, it's like the matchup against this Philadelphia

00:34Eagle team.

00:35I like to say it's going to be able to throw the ball on the Eagles.

00:38I don't like teams on the road, Scott, when they play a Monday nighter, uh, after the

00:42fact, it's, it's a, it's a tough spot to be in going on the road, especially against

00:46a team, um, especially against the Saints team, um, that, you know, we're just, yeah,

00:53they were in Dallas, but it wasn't a prolonged road trip.

00:55It's a quick turnaround, New Orleans to, uh, to Dallas, et cetera.

00:58But how about this guys from, um, 2017 to now.

01:04So from 2017 on, there's been 57 quarterbacks and the NFL who have started the season, uh,

01:11two or no 39 of them have made the playoffs after the fact.

01:15So you start to, and oh, you're off to a pretty good start.

01:1839 of the 57 quarterback have gone on and make the playoffs.

01:22The only quarterback to start the season two and oh, more than, uh, more than once

01:27and not make the playoffs Derek Carr.

01:31Pretty crazy.

01:32He started, he's been, he's been three and oh, he's been two and oh, excuse me, three

01:37times 2017, 2020, and 2023 Derek Carr.

01:43So Carr's had these hot starts before he's been on teams with hot starts before he's

01:47had hot starts before, but this is a big game now, Scott.

01:52Same thing with your Steelers and the Chargers game.

01:54Someone's going to be three and oh here, right?

01:56And you have, you start to become, you are what your record says you are, but we really

02:00don't know what the Steelers offense is still yet, Scott, it's not very good.

02:04So you're not going to be able to win.

02:05It's sort of like Michigan.

02:06They can't win playing this type of offense forever.

02:10It's going to catch up to them.

02:12And it's amazing.

02:13The Chargers, their offense really hasn't shown a lot.

02:16They just run the ball on every play, even though they have Herbert, but someone's going

02:19to be three and oh.

02:20It's a big week this week, Scott.

02:22You know, you can argue that all the Raven season's on the line this week.

02:25I said it yesterday about it gets early late.

02:28It gets late early here.

02:30Like Yogi Berra once said, Scott, some big time games, but I'm really intrigued to see

02:34if the Saints can do this for real.

02:36If the Saints can beat the Eagles on Sunday, then let's let the hype begin.

02:41And that division's a fun division with the Falcons, the Buccaneers, and the Saints suddenly.
