But I do want to get your, your win loss record for, because the last time you were on,

0:06.8

we talked about the schedule coming out and we talked to some pros and cons.

0:10.0

We like to buy weeks. We like, we like a lot of things about this, this, uh, this schedule,

0:15.2

especially the fact that there's only one cold weather game, which plays well for the lines.

0:19.9

It plays well for Jared Gaugh with the most important aspect of this team.

0:24.3

But obviously, we know that they started off with the Kansas City Chiefs. So when you look at

0:29.6

the 17 games, how many wins, how many losses do the Lions come away with?

0:34.5

Well, I'll go through this kind of game by game, but right now off the top of my head, I would say,

0:44.3

I gotta be careful. Oh, come on. I would say I would put him at 11.

1:19.5

five and three record, four and four at worst, I'd say, okay, we're cooking, right? We're probably

1:30.6

hot, maybe hit that 12, 13 mark, right? So I would say anything less than 11 for me would probably

1:38.2

be a little bit disappointing, but they're going to have to start the season off a whole lot better

1:42.3

1:48.3
