02:39oh so just i it listen it's it's been it it's been done over and over and over again uh from

02:46there are some who say this has been an easy schedule for this football team what what is

02:51what's your answer to those who say that i don't think it's never easy game in the nfl honestly

02:59honestly a lot of games the despite scores it'd be close games it'd be close games some of the

03:07teams that got bad record be losing by one score games or one point it's all about one little mistake

03:13something like that of how people lose i don't think i don't think we have an easy schedule yeah
