next guest on the Rood guest hotline.

Rood, the most reliable heating and air conditioning products in the DMV. We welcome in Matt Verde-Ram, NFL writer for S-I. Matt, thanks for the time, man. We appreciate it. Yeah, thanks for having. No problem. Yeah, so we were just kicking this around. You know, Josh Allen, you can't get to the Super Bowl with Burrow, Lamar, and Mahomes, all out of the way in the AFC.

It makes you question, is he ever going to can't get to the Super Bowl with Burrow, Lamar, and Mahomes all out of the way in the

AFC.

It makes you question, is he ever going to be able to get to the Super Bowl if the top

competition is sidelined?

It's seemingly an easier path, and he still can't make it even to the championship game

this year.

I think a lot of that question is going to be determined by who do they hire next to the coach

to succeed Sean McDarmid.

Right?

I mean, because he's 30.

He'll be 30 in May.

And if you make the wrong hire, that hire is not good.

You know, you might be looking at the next time he's got a new head coach.

He's 34, you know, 33, 34, 35.

I mean, it's, you know, then you've got a problem. Because with the way he plays, how well does he age? Maybe he's as well. Maybe he's, you know, God does he can throw the ball from the pocket, but his legs won't be as much of a factor. I think what you said is a big reason why both he and that team were so emotional after that game.

I think there was internally a thought of, hey, our boogeyman is not here.

Mahomes is there.

He beat him four of the last five years.

And I think there was an internal day.

We've got to get there this year.
