00:00And most notably, the Baltimore Ravens,

00:01though we got an important update from Harbaugh

00:03when that game finished up,

00:05which is they fully expect Lamar Jackson back for week number eight.

00:08They're going to hit their bye week,

00:09and then the Ravens get back to it.

00:11So we check in on a 17-3 loss for the Ravens.

00:14That was pathetic.

00:15Derrick Henry, though.

00:1724 carries.

00:18A lot of yards.

00:19Love that.

00:22What do you make of Baltimore?

00:23Let me see if I can pull this up quickly here.

00:26I think they have it posted.

00:28Updated win total for this team is eight and a half.

00:30But we saw the –

00:32Eight and a half.

00:33Yeah, but look at the second half.

00:34Eight more wins.

00:35Eight more wins, right?

00:37So they have what?

00:38The Bears coming up?

00:40Eight more wins.

00:41You have 11 games.

00:42They have to go eight and three the rest of the way.

00:44All right, so Miami.

00:47Jets.

00:48Are they a dog anywhere other than at Green Bay?

00:51Maybe the Patriots.

00:53They're home for that game.

00:54No.

00:55No chance.

00:57No chance.

00:58At Cincinnati, if Joe Burrow returns.

01:00What's right under – I can't tell that.

01:02What's right under the Viking game?

01:04Who is that?

01:04That's the Browns.

01:05That's the Browns?

01:06I can barely see that.

01:08Why are you pulling up on that spaceship you got there?

01:11That's all right.

01:11Why are you trying?

01:12I'm looking at the Browns.

01:15How about this?

01:16How about this?

01:17How about this?

01:17Hold on.

01:18Hold on.

01:18How many is – wait.

01:19Let me ask you this.

01:20How many – how many undersenders is Lamar?

01:23Is he under there for – if they have to go 11 games, is he under there for at least

01:28nine?

01:28They're booking it that he's there for all of the remaining games.

01:31That's what they're thinking.

01:32Here's the problem that I have.

01:33With or without Lamar, this offense has not gotten involved.

01:37They flowers.

01:38They have not gotten involved.

01:39That's your problem?

01:40No.

01:41Big picture.

01:41Forget the defensive woes.

01:43Forget the defensive woes.

01:45Because we know that that's a constant.

01:46You're a maniac.

01:47No, because let's call it what it is.

01:50They are in a similar situation to what Cincinnati was last year.

01:54No injuries, but they were at a huge deficit that they had to climb out of.

01:59And everybody said as long as Burrow and T. Higgins and that offense with Chase were

02:04there, they were able to make a run to potentially 9-8 and make a playoff run.

02:09Right?

02:09Okay, great.

02:10Lamar's back, but they're not consistent offensively.

02:13Right.

02:13This is not the same offense that we've seen even prior to Lamar getting hurt.

02:18Right?

02:18We've seen Derrick Henry fumble the football.

02:21They haven't relied on him without Lamar.

02:23They're 2.3 yards per carry two weeks ago.

02:26They get blasted by Houston.

02:28I mean, now he gets the ball 24 times.

02:31Huntley and Cooper Rush could barely get up across midfield in the passing game.

02:35If Lamar Jackson is there, what's going to change?

02:38Well, I think if Lamar Jackson is there, they're automatically going to score 40 points

02:43a game.

02:44No way.

02:44I mean, that's the thought.

02:45That is the thought, though.

02:46The thought is the offense is going to be one of the three best in football as long as he's

02:50there.

02:50I don't buy it.

02:51But the offense was that good when he was there.

02:54Not against Kansas City.

02:55Yeah, that was a nightmarish game for them, understandably.

02:58But, Joe, prior to that, they had scored 30, 41, and 40.

03:01I mean, that is the thought for this football team.

03:04But the more you lose, right, and you take on that losing mentality where all of a sudden

03:09your back's against the wall.

03:10Okay, so let me ask you this.

03:11You start to question your identity as a team.

03:13Let's say this team needs to be 9-8 to make the playoffs.

03:18Okay?

03:18Yeah.

03:20Would you give them a chance?

03:21Yeah, of course.

03:23At making a run?

03:24Yeah, as long as Lamar's there, they have a chance.

03:26But if we're talking odds right now, outside of playoffs, there is nothing I've seen from

03:34this football team that warrants them being even at a hint of a championship or a deep

03:40run type of contender.

03:41But the prices have dropped a lot, Joe.

03:43Like, they finally have.

03:44I mean, it took them to get down to 1-5.

03:47But last year, like, Burrow, you knew Burrow was healthy.

03:50You knew Chase was the best wide receiver in the game.

03:53You knew that they were going to throw it 50 times to outscore people.

03:58You just knew that.

03:59And the schedule was light.

04:01Now we have Lamar potentially under center.

04:04Is he 90?

04:05Is he 100?

04:05Is he 80%?

04:07We'll never know the full situation.

04:09And this team still has offensive question marks.
