Also, for you gold members, I apologize for not doing the private Zoom this week.

We'll definitely get to one next week. We'll be a lot to talk about going into the next game,

which of course is against the Dallas Cowboys. And the commanders will go in there on a two-game

losing streak after losing to the Eagles here on Thursday night. And it was a game that in

the end, it was close, but how close was it? And what does

it say about the commanders where they're at? And I think there's a lot of things to discuss from

this one. And it's funny because, you know, after they lost the Steelers last week, you know,

there was a, it was a, wasn't a, no loss is a good loss however what you saw is they went toe to toe with the

Steelers they were right there tonight you kind of feel like they are it was almost a little bit

like the Ravens game where you just felt like one team was better and that was of course the Eagles now

the game was they Washington had the league going in the fourth quarter the second week in a row

they've had the lead going in the fourth quarter and they couldn't maintain it.

But I do think that the night overall highlighted that the Eagles right now are just a better team.

And will it stay that way?
