| 0:00.0 | I think one of the games I'm most excited about is week two. And that's the Seattle game. |
| 0:04.6 | They're going to have 10 days to prepare for that game no matter what happens in KC. |
| 0:09.5 | It's going to be Seattle. We all know what happened at the end of the year last year. |
| 0:12.7 | They ended up winning. They ended up going into the playoffs. Alliance felt like they should have |
| 0:17.2 | been. Most people thought the Lions were a better team at that point. So they're going to get a |
| 0:21.3 | chance to see what Seattle has at home, at home against Atlanta on the road at Green Bay, |
| 0:26.8 | which is a Thursday night game, Carolina at home, and then at Tampa of those six games. |
| 0:34.0 | I really think the Lions for the most part should be favored in a majority of those games other |
| 0:40.9 | than Kansas City. Yeah, I think that's fair. I mean, we don't know what's going to happen, |
| 0:46.2 | you know, until from now until September, right? Like we don't know. I mean, things are going to |

| 1:00.2 | last year. Obviously, we remember early in the season, gotten to a shoot out right 48, 45, I think |
| 1:05.2 | was the final score. You knew that you could battle with them last year, and that was arguably when |
| 1:10.8 | the Lions were playing their worst football, at least defensively and offensively. I mean, |
| 1:15.2 | we knew there was a pick six in that game too, but you really the one the one trap you can't fall |
| 1:20.5 | into though is that, oh, this team last year was bad. We should beat them this year or this team, |
| 1:25.2 | you know, they were really good last year. Oh, man, it's going to be a tough game. It changes |
| 1:30.0 | year to year, man. It just does, but that Seattle game, I think, look, you have an opportunity |
| 1:35.3 | looking at those first two games, right? Two playoff teams, obviously, the champs and then |
| 1:39.6 | Seattle, who is a playoff team last year. That's a really good chance to go out and put your stamp |
| 1:45.3 | on the beginning of the season and say, you know what? Like, we're here, man, we're for real, |
