00:00They were ready for the game and it shows that this team is

00:04No matter what the adversity is no matter what the moment is they're ready for it

00:07It's why I came in today and I said john. I won't get on your 14 and 3 bus

00:11I'm in the express lane 15 and 2 for this football team like tj. What adversity you're in the hov lane

00:17Like tj think about it. Well, who's the loss to jim? I don't know

00:21Call your shot

00:23But think about it. Like who are they gonna?

00:25It doesn't matter what adversity they face. They lose adan hutchins. It doesn't matter. They lose brian branch doesn't matter

00:28They go outdoors. They go on the road. They play the vikings. They play the packers

00:32It doesn't matter tj before you answer the question because we do want to know are you more on the 15 and 2 bandwagon?

00:38or the 14 and 3 bus

00:41is

00:42jim costa

00:44Has a track record and it's a recent track record. Maybe it's recency bias

00:48He's a red wings fan as we all know season tickets. He's been to three red wings games

00:54All of them losses. Oh, he had tickets to go on saturday night

00:59He decided i'm gonna watch college football. I don't want to go. Hey, babe. You go with your dad

01:06And so he doesn't go

01:08To tick to a game that he had tickets for and they win

01:11So to me, yeah, that's clearly that's it's enough of a sample size for sure. I know it's a sample

01:18So stay away buddy with that context. I I now ask you

01:2215 and 2 14 and 3

01:24I could get on with 14 and 3

01:27Being realistic so negative. So no, I mean 15 and 2 would be incredible. Can they beat everybody?

01:33If they can play this way

01:35For an entire season. Yeah, they're not going to lose again. They're good enough to beat everybody

01:40Um, but i'm not going to hold them to that expectation. They'll be favored every game the rest of the way

01:44I agree with you

01:45But have you been a part of a team that was clearly the better team on a sunday yet lost?

01:50Oh, yeah, no doubt

01:52I think we're 12 and 0 in 2011 and we lost the kansas city who was just fired their coach

01:57They were like 1 and 10, but this is the bounce back game

02:00No, it happens. Can they lose sure and I guess i'm building in one loss for that that they would lose

02:06Two more times this season like even spots like tennessee would be a letdown spot

02:10He has the team ready like what is it going to be that they would they would trip up?

02:14It feels like they're ready for all of this that they're so unified that they don't let things slip through the cracks with the details

02:19During the week and then on game day they execute i'm with you, but I think it's realistic to say you still got

02:25Uh four division games left, you know and division you've already beaten two of them at their place

02:29One of them you needed a walk off field. I'm not

02:32you know saying there was a

02:34bad

02:35But division games are tough man

02:37We saw last year right green bay came in here and last time you went to chicago

02:41It seems like that's like the next hurdle man is jared goff doesn't play good at chicago

02:45I think that we've still got a couple more weeks before we see that but yeah, that's always a tough game

02:49You know buffalo is going to be a tough game sam friend who knows by the time?

02:53December comes around we're so far away from that game. These teams could look completely different

02:58You know what? I mean? So I think I look at it the same way jim

03:01I think we're all riding high right now and we're thinking man. This team's never going to lose again

03:04It's kind of this do you expect jared goff to continue to complete 80 percent of his passes the rest of the season, right?

03:10It feels ridiculous

03:10you know what I mean like that's kind of an unfair standard to hold it to and be like

03:14The first time he goes below 70 you're gonna be like, oh jared goff like man. He's

03:18Cost a lot

03:19but it's like

03:20To expect them to go win every single game is like expecting to go

03:25Play every game with two incompletions, but i'm at the point where if he threw for 55 completion

03:30I go well

03:30They probably ran for 200 yards or the defense probably scored a touchdown or the special teams probably scored a touchdown

03:34like they always pick each other i'm with you, but I think that

03:38I think it's the expectation that it's just going to continue to happen. They've earned it is

03:42I think it's a little bit unrealistic thing is they have a look though of a dominant team that comes along in this league

03:48Every five to ten years they really do look and it's just I think it's hard for us to believe

03:53Because of the past around here. Oh, I believed before it was cool to believe, you know, like yesterday

03:57I think something that we haven't mentioned yet this morning, but really gets taken for granted is that basically

04:03Once they got the touchdown to open the second half

04:05They put the offense on autopilot on the road in the division and still won the game

04:11And only gave up a garbage td because amik robertson had a personal foul

04:16I mean seriously think about that

04:18they weren't going to give up a touchdown at all in the game and that's and that's

04:21A testament to aaron glenn and we don't even know if he could see the play sheet and the defense was ready to go

04:25Did you tj you didn't see it because you were at the game?

04:29I saw it on the uh on the tv

04:31broadcast a couple times, but you know, it's a and I had to

04:34Since aiden hutchinson went out three and a half games, right the second half dallas

04:38You let up three points that defense had four takeaways minnesota. You let up 22, right?

04:44We fumbled the ball gave them six points. Uh, you had to take away that game, tennessee 14 points four takeaways

04:49Yeah yesterday green bay didn't score a touchdown until three and a half minutes left in the game

04:54And obviously you had to pick six you had defense outscored green bay's offense for 56 minutes

04:59You know what? I mean?

05:00so and and I did think yesterday like I don't know about you guys it did feel like

05:04Uh, and I know we saw that we all saw the reports like right around game time that they're expected to make a move

05:09For zedarius. Yeah, I haven't seen any updates this morning, but

05:12uh, clearly, you know, you look at these games and you still say man like

05:17You have to address the pass rush right you got a day and well, but just a little bit over, you know a day now

05:23yeah, four o'clock tomorrow do it but

05:25Um that still feels like man if there's going to be something that holds this team back

05:29Uh, there were still way too many times where jordan love just had all day in the party. Yeah

05:35Oh, he did he had plenty of time. I think that's you know

05:37We can't overlook the fact that we're on a winning streak. Everything's going great. You still got to find ways to improve

05:42I would agree. I think you can acknowledge how dominant this team is and say put another log on the fire, right?

05:47Add more get better. I think we're just we're just really happy both tj and I

05:53that

05:54That you had to wait till mid-season before you finally got behind this team

05:58That you finally got on the bus and you could call it the 15 and 2 train and the 14 and 3 bus

06:05But that you you finally when it was when it was finally cool and it was obvious convenient for when it was convenient

06:11But it was obvious that they're a good team that you finally got on board. We appreciate that

06:14I went from negative hater 12 and 5 division champion

06:19nfc champion

06:21to

06:22The most positive member of the show now at 15 and 2 when it was convenient winning will win people over

06:282 4 8 5 3 9 really helps
