Nick has you in for Kevin Sheehan.

Navy Moe on Twitter wants to know why the commanders are operating like a poverty franchise when other teams like it's always the Eagles, right? It comes back to the Eagles. Listen, the commanders are rebuilding a team that also has to compete with a very aggressive front office in Howie Roseman. One of the best GMs, not just in the NFL, but in sports. And it's true. Like, they're going to have to spend, but you've got to spend smartly. You can't just go throwing money around.

We've seen how that just in the NFL, but in sports. And it's true. Like, they're going to have to spend, but you've got to spend smartly.

You can't just go throwing money around. We've seen how that works in the NFL, and we've seen how that works with this franchise. But it's true. That has now become the trend. I mean, Chi K. Kamara, hope I said your name right, buddy, on YouTube. It should be noted. That's why the commanders don't have any depth.

Brian DeArto jumps on with us now, NFL writer for CBS sports. And I'll get to the commanders with you in a bit, but let's be honest.

We've got actually like meaningful NFL games coming up in week 18 in the NFL season.

You want to start with this with you, Brian, though.

Before we even get into any of these games, I am a huge supporter, and I've been yelling this for years.

Control the yell, of course.

I would much rather see expanded playoffs than an 18th game in the NFL regular season.

If I gave you the choice, Brian, what would you prefer?

An extra week of playoff football or an extra week of regular season NFL?

Well, hey, great to be on with you.

I, yeah, I mean, I'm emphatically in support of what you're saying.

I do not understand it at all this 18th a week.
