Hey, what's up everybody.

Welcome into Tom Carman's Patriots Talk podcast.

As always alongside, it's Phil Perry, Patriots Ravens on Sunday.

We're also going to have at the end of this program, well, at the end of Phil and I talking,

we'll have Kyle Williams, Patriots wide receiver.

You've seen him be a deep threat. He's also got a deep voice. He did some singing with me.

We did some Christmas, Carolyn. That's your irrelevant questions.

Speaking of irrelevant.

Does the game even matter Sunday on Sunday, Phil?

Patriots Ravens?

I mean, for seating, we're going to get into it.

It's hard to make a case that it makes a massive difference as to who the Patriots will play or where they will end up.

But why does this game matter, Phil Perry?

Well, it matters because if you lose, you might be inviting a creeping sense of doubt

as to who you really are as a football team.

An identity crisis?

Maybe a tad, yeah.

Because wouldn't it just be human nature for if you were to lose to the Baltimore

Ravens, for you to look at yourselves a little bit after losing to the Buffalo

Bills and say, maybe we have had a really easy schedule.

Maybe we're not one of the best teams in the conference.

How is the season going to end for us?
