00:00Stop viewing yourselves as losers.

00:02Stop viewing yourselves as we shouldn't be here anyway.

00:04Sure you should, only Detroit's definitively better than you.

00:07You're every bit as good as any of these other teams.

00:10She loves you, you're good looking

00:11and she wants to hang out with you because you're fun.

00:13So if they don't make the playoffs, yeah, that's a letdown.

00:16If they don't win a playoff game,

00:17yeah, they should win a playoff game.

00:19They've got a really good quarterback

00:21and improving defense.

00:22They have everything they need.

00:24So I'm not house money guy.

00:26I will, when the season ends,

00:29properly be able to get back to

00:31what an awesome year this was.

00:34They're so far ahead of schedule.

00:35But that is for after the season.

00:37Right now, the work has been done.

00:40There was a time when they didn't belong,

00:44when it didn't matter

00:45because they weren't going to be here.

00:48They are now.

00:49Whoops, sometimes you gotta plan

00:52until you get punched in the face.

00:53You woke up and now you're here.

00:56You gotta take advantage of this.

00:57I'm not just gonna do the house money thing.

00:59You lose to the Steelers, no problem.

01:01Lose to the Eagles, it happens.

01:02You cannot lose to Dallas in these two games

01:04when they're terrible.

01:05You cannot lose to Tennessee Titans at home

01:10or the Saints, you gotta split.

01:12You gotta go three in one in those four terrible team games

01:14that I just mentioned.

01:16Like take advantage of this.

01:18So yeah, I have recalibrated for sure

01:20because these opportunities do not come around very often.

01:22At the beginning of Rivera, and I apologize,

01:26I'll give you the floor in a second.

01:27At the beginning of Rivera, everyone just said,

01:28oh, who cares?

01:30They just won the division.

01:32It's the first year of many.

01:34Well, just wait.

01:35It was the closest they were at any point.

01:36The best they ever got.

01:37For the next three years, it got worse and worse

01:39and worse and worse and worse and worse and worse.

01:42It's not linear.

01:43You just don't know if Jaden Daniels is gonna be healthy

01:46in September next year.

01:47He's gonna play a full season.

01:49You never know.

01:50So you've got the chance right now.
