That's good.

I took it until December 15th to figure out what the tops in the NFC looked like and that it wasn't you. I don't know. Maybe I'm frustrated with the game. It's just that the coach speaks stuff. It wears you out. No, it's not as simple as going back to work. The team can't fix all their problems. And the idea that you needed a reality check to know you're not the best in the NFC, I can't help you. You haven't won back-to-back games in three months. Can they get in the playoffs? Yes. Do I expect them to? No. Just like I didn't expect you to win that game yesterday. You're not that good. You want to cry about injuries, you can. You have a right when you don't have Kirby, Joseph, and Brian Branch. It's going to affect your team. Just like this week, short week, they're not going to have Devante Adams and Pookas banged up. You know who's going to cry from? Nobody. Go win the game if you're so damn special. David, your thoughts early on, and then we'll get to the callers. What's going on? Yeah, it's also been annoying for me every week to hear Dan Campbell say, we just got to get better, we got to do this, we got to fix this one thing, and it's like, you're right, week after week after week after you hear that after eight weeks of the season is like, I get the first part of the year you're trying to get things

together when your offensive lines change, your coordinators change, but now it's too late.

You are exactly who I thought you were. Every issue that was discussed on these airways

from you, Mike, and from you RICOICO in the offseason, is their issue.

Offensive line, defensive line pass rush issues, everything, the coordinators,

everything is right there still an issue.

So you can't hear in week 15, we got to fix one thing.

And now we know it's, it's too late too late dan it's too late no and it just look

they they still have a minor shot but look at it this way if you have a 25% chance to get in

you get a 75% chance and not like this is not where you wanted to be it's not where you plan to be and no it shouldn't be

acceptable and if the excuse is going to be we got a couple of players that are out for the year

well then forget it don't play football anymore you're never going to have all 22 healthy at

this point of season it's just not going to happen no no you're right and that's where

look you can't

fix this thing on the fly. This is what you got. And long-term, bigger picture, yeah, this is where

maybe not getting so cute seeing the draft hurt you. But right now, you have to rally. And right

now, you're not in control of your destiny.

This is where you did not want to be, but it is because even if you win all three games

doesn't guarantee you a spot in the playoffs.

No, and look, I don't want to do the Longview stuff, but I think it's part of the conversation

when you and I talk about the window.
