Three o'clock, we're going to get right to the people just really quick.

Here's where we started. Here's where we are. Monday night football. They put a cartooning graphic up there. Here, you know, the teams that are division leaders, they're at the dinner table. Teams that are the wild card teams are at the kids table. And then there was like Bryce Young on Jerigoff's shoulders outside going, let me in, let me in. the lines of the season

ended today are not a playoff team. I know I haven't thought in terms of that. I have just said, no, of course we're a playoff team. Of course they're going to make it. But Sunday, look, obviously, if they had lost Sunday, we wouldn't be talking about hypotheticals. It would be full-blown panic.

But Rico brought this up, and I think when you look at the numbers and not emotion,

it's worth a conversation.

Have you allowed the possibility of this team missing the playoffs to enter your mind?

That's not panic. No one's used the P word. I think they're missing the playoffs to enter your mind. That's not panic.

No one's used the P word.

I think they're making the playoffs.

But it does set up when you look at this.

Last year, a team with 10 wins got left out.

Seattle.

You have the Niners and you have Seattle that this weekend are prohibitive favorites to get to nine wins with five games to go.

You look at Green Bay and Dallas both have that tie, meaning you have to finish a full game ahead of them in the win column.

Guys, it's actually a very good conversation.

And yes, winning the division is your cleanest pathway.

And if you want to do that, you have to win Thursday.

And I know Campbell won't say it.

And Jared Goffshire wouldn't.

But we wanted to ask you, where's your mentality now with this team? Dust is settled. Emotion is subsided. Sunday, hey, they won. It's relief, not ecstasy. But this team hasn't put a lot of good tape out there in a long time. So have you allowed the possibility of, hey, you know what, it's not a sure thing to enter your mind?

I don't think that's RICO being a deflator.

I don't think it's inappropriate.
