All right, we're back.

Our weekly conversation, softy hawk blogger podcast, brought to you by nobody because nobody would sponsor this nonsense. I don't blame them, by the way. Disappointing times, though, Brian, after a loss to the Chargers on Sunday, we talk about this four-game stretch here between the Chargers, the Packers, the Rams, and Carolina, and how going two and and two and those four would be huge.

Well, they start off going 0 and 1, which makes this game on Thursday or Sunday with the Rams

and the Thursday game that much bigger.

But let's go back first of all and talk about what we thought we saw against the Chargers

on Sunday, pal.

Yeah, David, it's disappointing, man.

It was at least as big of a loss as the win against Detroit was as a win.

You know, I think that those two essentially cancel each other out, which is a shame.

The team blew the first two weeks of the seasons.

They don't have a lot left that they can give up and hope to kind of do something special so you know

i think that this was unfortunately a game that came down to to really two things for me one was

brian schottenheimer and his ability to adjust uh both when falling behind and and both in points and

uh the sticks.

And then Russell Wilson, who just did not play well.

He played a bad game and missed some real opportunities to change the game.

So I think those are the two biggest things.

Obviously, the defense was terrible in the first half.

But when you hold that offense without a point in the second half, it's hard for me to feel like the defense is the problem in this game.

No, I think all of us were to take in what 19 from the charge of our offense, no doubt.

And you mentioned Russell Wilson, man.

He had going into this year one pick six his entire career.
