What's up, everybody?

Welcome to Move the Stick, DJ and Buck with you.

Buck, what is going on, man?

Not too much.

DJ still recovering from a wild football weekend.

Oh my gosh.

Are you kidding me?

There was, there were some interesting results from this last weekend's games. If you missed the previous episode, we hit on six big ones with Baldy and we do that each and every week. I wish we had time to get to all the games with them, but we don't quite have that luxury. So I wanted to hit on some of those games that we missed. And then there's another topic I want to get to you on as we're wrapping that up. But let's get first of all here

to what we saw here, Atlanta, New England. New England holds on. They beat Atlanta 24 to 23.

Look, man, it's just the New England Patriots doing what they do. I mean, just playing really good complimentary football. And a lot of the credit always will go to Drake May. But, man, I can't say enough about the job that the coaching staff has done in terms of remaking this team, remaking this franchise. They're not only connected in terms of their relationships and those things, because you see the clips, Stefan D talking to Josh McDaniels and in the past about what I need to talk to about the team and all that stuff. We've seen that the last couple weeks. But, man, just the way that they complement each other and the way the game plans are, the offense and the defense, the special teams are all working together to get this stuff. And I'll say this is gritty, not pretty when it comes

to the Patriots, but man, they are sitting pretty when it comes to being seven and two and trying

to get this thing done into the AFC North and the AFCs. Yeah, no, they're they're in a great spot, man,

and the schedule lines up for them. We've been talking about that, but Drake Mayke may you know just confidence continues to sore my my my comment on this one is more on the

atlanta side of things i feel like gosh is atlantis kind of turn into one of these teams that can

fill up a box score and you kind of what's missing here like it they look pretty and they look

pretty on paper and then they just don't finish.

They don't know. I just, there's something missing there. I don't know. I can't put my finger on. We used to always just blame it on the past rush. And now you look up and now they've got the young guys that are really rushing the passer and they've got skill players. And I don't know, man. Well, I would say this. I would say, DJ, some of this is, are they tough enough?

You know what I mean?

Like, are they a tough enough team to be able to win these games?
