Well I'd say I would actually say it's the Steelers of the Steelers are done. So the Steelers have lost back-to-back games at home to the Cardinals and the Patriots. Which I just want to say my guy Mitch, I know there's probably some stealer fans that are upset at him right now, but in his afterlife, he helps out the Bears because the Bears now have a stranglehold on that first pick. He lost to the Cardinals and the Patriots like you said in back to back weeks. So they're now second and third in the picks with three wins and the Panthers have won but Hank

The Patriots won a game Bailey Zappy looked good. You looked in the first half. He looked real good really good Hank You don't want to win that game. No, yeah, that was a bad game to win because it's like do the Panthers have two more wins in them I don't think so and not Hank is also just exhausted and delirious, which I don't blame for at all You deserve to be every bit of exhausted and delirious. But that game probably didn't do a whole lot to wake you up. It was fun in the first half scoring touchdowns. Like, oh, this is a fun team to root for. But I obviously am a big fan of Mitch. I wanted the Patriots to lose. So I was all in on like a second half Steelers come back. Man, Steelers lose, Patriots look good, but we still lose.

And so that was worst case scenario.

There was one moment at the end of the second. second half Steelers come back. Man, Steelers lose, Patriots look good, but we still lose.

And so that was worst case scenario. There was one moment at the end of the second half. The Steelers were driving the ball. I think it was fourth and three, right? Fourth and three? Yeah, it was fourth and three. Fourth and three. And Mike Tomlin did the thing I hate the most. No, that was actually a fourth and like one. Yeah, that was fourth and one at that time.

It's fourth and one.

Tom Lydde did the thing.

I hate the most from a coach.

He took a think it over time

out. I hate to think it over time out. You should you should have already thought it over. That's what the weeks for. That's what preparing for and then you take a time out, talk it over, see what you like, and then send you guys out there run a play.

They got a first down, which was great.

And then they had the fourth and three.

And on that fourth and three,

they thought that they had an first down, which was great. And then they had the fourth and three. Yeah.

And on that fourth and three, they thought that they had an encroachment against the defense.

Which they should have.

Which they should have.

Instead, they called a fall start on the center for moving his head up slowly.

And it was such, oh, like the encroachment was so obvious.

We said in the moment, we're like, that is the call down to the field to tank. Yes.

Like the Patriots realized, oh, we played well

in the first half, that was fun. We got to lose this game. And for a second, Tom Linn and Belicec had a standoff. And you remember when Belicec and Verabel had that standoff where they deleted time in that playoff game? It felt like that except the saddest version of that. where each coach was saying no, no, we committed the penalty.
