00:00In the context of the AFC, let's do the AFC for a moment here.
00:04How much of football and deciding who's good and who's not is about the resume,
00:11the benefit of the doubt, the who's done it before?
00:14Because I think it's most of it.
00:16No one took the Steelers seriously, right?
00:18Because why would you?
00:19Because we've seen the same story every single year for five years.
00:21I don't know how many people are taking the Colts seriously.
00:24I think you might to a degree, but I feel like they have a lot more to prove.
00:30Meanwhile, where are the Chiefs?
00:31Three and three.
00:32Like, oh, they're great.
00:33How would the Bills lose two in a row?
00:35Like, oh, they're going to be fine.
00:35The Bills are going to be fine.
00:36The Chiefs are great.
00:38Lamar comes back after the bye.
00:39Baltimore is co-favorites to win that division.
00:42Yeah.
00:42Like, you still have –
00:43Actually, I haven't checked this morning.
00:44They might be favored.
00:45You still have these three teams here that –
00:48They're favored.
00:48Regardless of their early struggles in the season, they look like they are –
00:52Oh, okay.
00:53We'll wait to get through this and then get them to the playoff,
00:56and those will be the three teams we'll be talking about yet again.
00:58And for Indy, I mean, what's it going to take?
01:01They're going to have to actually knock off one of those three teams
01:03in a regular season game, in the playoffs.
01:06It is one of the very interesting games this weekend.
01:08It's Colts-Chargers, right?
01:10Mm-hmm.
01:10So, all right.
01:11Yep.
01:12Whoever wins that game, I don't know if they become a little bit more real.
01:15The Chargers are battling a lot of injuries.
01:17If the Colts win that game, that's a good win for them.
01:21Right.
01:21Like, what's the level of belief from people that it's not just going to be
01:24Bills and Chiefs in the AFC Championship again?
01:26They're just not going to run it back.
01:29Right.
01:29Because that will happen when you get to playoff time.
01:32It doesn't even matter if the Colts are the one seed or if they –
01:36whatever.
01:36They have home field advantage, and Daniel Jones has done this
01:39through the whole regular season.
01:41When you show up to a playoff game and it's Patrick Mahomes
01:43versus Daniel Jones, you're going to believe Patrick Mahomes
01:45is going to win that football game.
01:46Yeah.
01:47Or if it's Josh Allen against Daniel Jones, you're going to believe that
01:49Josh Allen's going to win that football game.
01:51Or Lamar or whoever.
01:53And honestly, like, the Colts are in this weird space now that maybe they've
01:58entered a place where the Bills kind of live, you know, perennially,
02:01which is that there's nothing left you can really prove to me in the regular
02:05season.
02:06You look great.
02:07Yep.
02:07And you could disprove it in the regular season.
02:09But I – there's no – you can't go any further on my feeling of you being
02:16a contender until I see you do it against the big teams in the playoffs.
