00:00far and away the most important for Gerard Mayo.

00:03Gerard Mayo's seat had never been as warm as it was last week.

00:07We heard a lot of conversation last week.

00:09Will he survive the year and or will he start next year?

00:13And I was like, oh my god, like I thought for sure he was going to be back next year.

00:17But it was coming into doubt.

00:18He called the team out.

00:20And then everybody between Bill Belichick and former players in the media,

00:23everybody pounced on Mayo for those comments.

00:26And that's what we talked about all week.

00:27So for all the people involved in the entire Patriots organization,

00:31that win was the most important for Gerard Mayo.

00:33And I don't even think it's close.

00:35Like I don't think there's a second guy on that list that's like,

00:37yeah, that win really helped me.

00:38No, no, Mayo needed that win.

00:40So more, it helped more people, but it helped Mayo by far the most.

00:43Oh yeah, I mean a win is, especially a six game losing streak in the NFL,

00:47things start to pile up.

00:49Whether it's players, assistant coaches, the owner, like whatever it is,

00:52it's important for everybody to get rid of that losing streak.

00:56You don't want to be the worst team in the league.

00:59We talked last week a lot about how when the year is up,

01:02how awful one and 16 and even two and 15,

01:06how that looks like just on the standings and where you're at.

01:10But for them to get a win, throwing the fact that it's at home,

01:13like it was pretty significant for Gerard Mayo.

01:15So I do feel good about the win.

01:17Now I'll say I would prefer it if it was Drake May getting the win

01:21and playing well and he's out there and you win

01:23because you're a young quarterback, I would feel better about it.

01:25Of course.

01:26But I feel good about the win for what you just said.

01:29They needed it.

01:30They desperately needed that.

01:31This organization needed this win badly.

01:34They were a joke.

01:35They were a laughingstock.

01:36It was a national conversation.

01:38The coach called them soft.

01:39Bill Belichick called them out for being called soft.

01:42They were asked about being soft all week long.

01:45They got a second win.

01:47They needed it.

01:48The whole organization needed this.

01:50Unless you want to turn back into, and maybe they're still trending there,

01:54early 90s Patriots, you're a disaster every week,

01:56players getting arrested off the field,

01:58players out too late beyond their curfew,

02:00which I know Mayo quibbled with on the Greg Hill show,

02:03playing poorly on the field, nothing to look forward to,

02:06games that aren't watchable every single week.

02:08Unless you want that to be the reality, which I don't.

02:11I never wanted that to be the reality with Brissette or with May.

02:14Unless that's what you want purely for a draft pick,

02:18that's a good win yesterday.
