Also, I'll be doing a second thoughts podcast for Tuesday, hoping to do the live stream on Tuesday night with

brand Weinstein they do precks on Tuesday because they have a short week so

well but I'll get to all that my second thoughts so look for that on Tuesday

hopefully anyway today I'm gonna talk about the commanders 29 to 21 win over the

New York Giants and yes I know for some of you it's not what you wanted for this team, which is what I cover. I cover the team, right? This is what they needed in a very bad way. I was talking to somebody before the game, like, hey, what if you guys lose 12 in a row? It's like, that's not something I want to think about. That's why games like this were important. Now, is this going to solve everything? Hell no. Like, this was not the prettiest game, but I think there's some things that you could learn about this team and where they're at that says, okay, at least they did this. So, you know, I know, like I said, I know it affects draft standing, but I can't emphasize enough how important it is.

If they had lost 12-year-old and they look really bad over the next three weeks, a lot of

things could happen.

Like, there's no guarantee of anything at that point, in my opinion, that's not reporting.

That's just logic.

And so, like, they wanted to avoid that for sure.
