I will let you know. I guess we'll just do it. You know what? We're doing it Thursday night. That's the call, Bram. So there we go. As you can see, I i'm joined by my pal bram weinstein the voice of the commanders coming off a very rough night for the home team

how you doing bram that was a rough one that was uh that was one of the first real gut punches

of the new era really like i i was really surprised um

you know like i i maybe could argue maybe the first dallas game last year where turpin had

the kickoff return for a touchdown and terry scored on the miracle play and they missed the extra

point that felt like a gut punch that they lost but this one um this one just got away from them and it was their mistakes. They have only themselves to blame for it. I think Dan Quinn would say that. You know, and I think that's the toughest part of this. It was they, they beat themselves. That is. And, you know, compared to that Dallas game, excuse me, last year, that was late in the year where they had already kind of established a lot of that magic, so it speak, or at least midway, more beyond the midway point. And you're still trying to figure out what this team is. How good is this team? And, you know, you think like a couple weeks ago after the Atlanta game, it's like, oh, my God, this could be really bad. And then they

fall down behind, you know, the charge. Like, this could get really bad. And then they win. And you think like, hey, maybe they beat Chicago here. So it's really kind of, this team is still trying to figure out again. I'm trying to figure out how good are they? What can they do? And I don't think, you know, I know, according to Twitter,

I think a lot of people have it all figured out. So more power to them. I don't know that I'm that smart. The things I'm definitely concerned about, especially on defense. And then other things where he said, like, this league is crazy. Like, look at the results every week. And it's, you just don't know.

And it's so much about when you play teams,

Ram, and that's my concern.

But next two, Like look at the results every week. And it's, you just don't know.

And it's so much about when you play teams, Ram, and that's my concern. The next two weeks, because you got C.D. Lamb coming back possibly this week. And then in two weeks, Rishi Rice will be joining the Chiefs. And they are starting to get their stuff together. So just makes it a lot tougher. but it makes games like last night makes games like last night, to me, hurt even more for this team. Well, I could also say, I hope Terry McLaurin comes back.
