| 0:52.3 | We are continuing our lingering questions series from 2023. It's been a little while. So just a reminder about what we're doing here. We've gone through every single division in the league, or are going to go through every single division. And we're going to talk about some questions that we just didn't feel were answered by the end of last year. You know, the NFL season is so crowded, especially as we get down the stretch. you're paying attention to the teams that are in the playoffs. And, you know, you only have so much time to react to the way that a team season ended, that sometimes there's just stuff that we didn't really explore or talk about enough.

| 1:42.6 | We were supposed to do it last week, |
| 1:44.1 | and I am doing great. I'm doing great. I'm excited to finally do this. |
| 2:02.0 | We were supposed to do it last week, and I am incapable of understanding how time zones work. |
| 2:07.5 | And typically, I would assume that I would find a sympathetic year on the other end of that. |
| 2:13.3 | We've all run into that before. But unfortunately, I'm dealing with the man who lives in the UK and operates on Eastern |
