00:00There's a recalibration that may have to take place on the long term.

00:03You do have to appreciate the accomplishment of 10 wins, of 9 wins in a row,

00:07of gutting through a game where the other team didn't just roll over and die,

00:11where you fought through the injuries and survived all the way down to a 4th and 10 sling from Flacco

00:17with the 35 heading towards the end zone.

00:19And maybe Marcus Jones got away with one on Gasicki, but oh well.

00:22I don't think any official is going to feel badly for Mike Gasicki,

00:26just like I don't expect any football fan to feel bad for the Patriots.

00:31So there are some tremendous accomplishments there that do their deference and respect

00:36from all Pats fans and football fans alike.

00:39But you do now have to wonder, okay, how does this affect the long term outlook?

00:45How does it, right now at 5 o'clock on Sunday, 45 minutes after the completion of this game,

00:52how do you feel about the Patriots' long-term potential postseason outlook?

00:59Significantly lower than I did around 1 o'clock when this game started.

01:03I don't know how you can't.

01:05The guy we said can't get hurt, gut hurt.

01:08Like that's the reality of the situation.

01:10And I love that football is the greatest team sport.

01:13And I'm already reading online.

01:14People are telling me this is where Josh is going to earn his money

01:17and he's going to get Vidarian Lowe to be good enough and all.

01:20Like, God, I hope so.

01:21God, I hope so.

01:22But the reality is the guy who we said was most imperative to staying healthy and winning

01:29did get hurt.

01:30So, you know, if I was getting greedy and thinking you were going to be the one seed

01:34and you were going to have a shot to, hell, go to an AFC championship game,

01:38maybe beyond, I have to decrease that.

01:41Now, what did Vinny say?

01:43They're going to get stomped on Monday night against the Giants.

01:45Yeah, I guess the way famous Jameis played in the bag of tricks that Mike Kafka

01:49pulled out today against the Lions has him shaking in his boots for a reckoning in eight days.

01:56I'm not there.

01:57I'm not there at all.
