Hello everyone and welcome back into the MMQB podcast. I'm going to

show this week, Connor or Alberdwe We're coming at you earlier in the week.

And so it is I, Matt Verderam alongside Gilberto Manzano as always as we are getting ready for week seven of the NFL season already.

Gilbert, I know about you man, but every year, every year I get all excited for opening

day and I'm like, all right, great, it's week one or whatever that game is Thursday night,

and a full slate on Sunday, and sometimes we get that double header on Monday,

and then I blink, and it's Halloween, and it's week seven, and it's week eight and it's week eight and somebody seems already out of it

and you're starting to see who's a real contender that does that happen for you or do

you feel like season goes a little bit slower for you? Yeah, it's kind of like a mix.

It's like, oh wow, it's week seven, but then, you know,

when you're always writing stories and you're working,

it's like, oh, okay, can we get to like, you know, maybe the playoffs now, less games, and it is just kind of as a reporter

kind of annoyance here when I saw maybe four or five games in the late window I'm

like come on I want to you know we'll focus on three I can't do five games so

things like that but I'm which is a man I do enjoy football those upsets on Sunday

were yeah we did not see that coming so you know you kind of hit the wall as a reporter but you know the football fan you always enjoy it

You know man it's crazy too like you bring up a good point about the the late slate you know that that four o'clock window on the east coast and there's four of

those games this week but I feel like in the past not that there were a less or

more games I mean it was kind of like what it's always been but I think that it feels like this year a lot of those

games have not been good like you go into the games and you're like yeah you know what

I don't I don't love it and I think part of that is a lot of the teams on the

West Coast right now are not particularly good I mean Denver is not a good team
