00:00before the year began it was if they make the playoffs it's a wild success yeah so how do they

00:05validate their regular season you got to win a playoff game well the way it's going now you do

00:09have to change right i think that's fair to to change your expectation because you're seeing

00:13not only them play every game for 10 11 weeks but you also see what the landscape of the of the

00:17league is but i'm not going to ignore the fact that making the playoffs was a huge step forward

00:22and that's one that is like the to me is a wild success but then let's see what it looks like

00:28we already said there could be so many different possible first round opponents you might not even

00:34play in the first round the way things are you might even skip past that you're you're off to

00:38such a good start or you know the bills catch you right maybe you drop the ravens game you drop

00:44another game including the bills game and whatever the tiebreaker is you have an awesome awesome season

00:48you lose the tiebreaker to the bills and now you're on the road and you're playing you know at denver

00:54right and you're like oh and you lose a hard i'm not gonna like lose my mind if that ends up being

00:58the case but yeah i think now the expectation is like there should be a divisional round team

01:02right now i think it could be a conference championship team like i think the it's okay

01:07to to change your expectations and kind of pivot off of what you thought at the at the beginning

01:12of the year uh 617-779-7937 and i agree with you on that it's okay to raise your expectations for the

01:18team and like you know them losing in the first round won't be a failure if they lost on wild card

01:23weekend or if they lost in the divisional round after a bye week i don't think that would be a failure

01:27but i do think everybody who said it was fool's gold would turn around and they'd be right i mean

01:32i i think that would prove their case
