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.
