00:00I thought Vrabel had a great line afterwards where he was saying how, you know,

00:04rather than, you know, learning things in the loss, we can learn things in a win, right?

00:08So that's like the sign of a good team when you don't play your best and you still win the game.

00:12And they had a lot of issues.

00:13Like Drake May had a couple of plays individually that looked like last year's Drake May,

00:18where you just like overthrow everybody, leads to a pick, just kind of drop the ball in the pocket.

00:22You're like, well, that didn't look right.

00:24And he had, you know, some highs last year, but then there was also those turnovers.

00:27And you're like, all right, he's going to get those out.

00:29And for the most part, this year he has, which is why we've talked about him being in the MVP conversation.

00:34But this was not a good game for him.

00:36Overall, it was one of his worst games.

00:38And they still win.

00:40It's a costly.

00:41There was an incredible stat they put up late in the game, just like on the bottom of the screen,

00:46where there were like negative plays, like negative plays.

00:50And the Patriots had like 10 and the Falcons had like two or three.

00:53And yet they're still winning the game and went on to win the game.

00:55So to not have your best performance and still go out there and get a win in the NFL, it's pretty impressive.

01:02Yeah.

01:03So I would agree with that.

01:04And we've been checking every Monday.

01:06Chad.

01:07Craft.

01:08Craft.

01:09Does a good job tweeting this out every Monday at The Athletic.

01:12The Patriots now, Keith, at seven and two, six straight wins, have the highest chance of any NFL team to make the playoffs,

01:20according to The Athletic's NFL Playoff Predictor.

01:22Well, Rich Keefe's stats and info also has the same thing.

01:25Or is it the Jones and Keefe's Playoff Predictor?

01:27Yes, yes.

01:27We did that.

01:28Yes.

01:28I thought we had them 100%.

01:29We have them 100%.

01:30Yeah, yeah, yeah.

01:31The Athletic is up to 97%.

01:33Wow.

01:34That's ahead of the Bills at 95.

01:35That's ahead of the Eagles at 94.

01:37That's more than any team in the NFL because...

01:40I mean, they have the best schedule available.

01:42They have...

01:42I mean, don't tell it to Vrabel, Chris Curtis.

01:44I know.

01:44But we'll get to that coming up later on this hour.

01:47If you missed any of Vrabel this morning, check it out on the Odyssey app.

01:50A-U-D-A-C-Y.

01:51Get it on your phone.

01:52Free, easy.

01:53Take it with you wherever you go.

01:54No, he was great.

01:55And he didn't want to hear anything about the strength of schedule.

01:58No.

01:59Or the joke, quote-unquote, of a schedule that Chris passed along that they have.

02:04So you'll hear that later on this hour.

02:06But, no, they have three tough games left.

02:08It's Tampa.

02:09It's Buffalo.

02:10I hope people realize this now.

02:12It's Baltimore.

02:13Other than that, they're all very winnable games.

02:15So I'm not shocked at that.

02:16Their playoff odds and that they're very likely to get there.

02:18I'm not shocked at that.
