All right, David with the ticket tax, and we get to the people.

Are we on the same page that the lions are playing with house money now?

You know, you're a big underdog, which is a great place to be.

I think it's the best spot to be as a fan.

Nobody wants to be the favorite. You get you get bent out of shape, you get nervous. But to me, this is this is perfect like we're where we want to be you're 60 minutes from a

super ball you've accomplished the things we talked about on this show for a year

when the division win a playoff game hell win two but for me this is absolutely house money. I'd be loose as a

goose going into this game. Or not the opportunity is too big. I'm too

emotionally invested. I can't possibly envision losing like it's just too painful

David what do the people say?

Alary from link Orient says house money all day no one expected you to be here because this game was supposed to be

the Cowboys versus the 49ers. Someone else text in and say no we are still

playing with house money barring any major injury we're still going to have our same players for the next three, four, five years, so I don't see how we get any worse.

Someone else says, David is right, how many franchises have been on the cusp with promises to return

and get another shot only to collapse in the following seasons.

But see I think that's in the minority because when you look at it David there's certain teams you could always pencil in the playoffs

Now there's certain ones that rise and fall

Okay, and we'll just take the chiefs out of it, But as much as Mike hates Josh Allen,

Bills, bills found a way to stumble into the playoffs again this year. The Bengals.

Bengals were, they had to lose a quarterback or else the bingles you already you always see them in there the

cowboys as bad as the cowboys are every year they're always in the playoff hunt so there are certain teams and I think the lions will be one of those teams that you could just

pencil in.
