00:00If there was a bit of a, shall we say, concerned, harried or frustrated tone to our voices to begin the show, it's because the Patriots had been skating by for so long with such good health, though depth was a concern of ours all the way back to July, July, and the Patriots chose not to address it at the trade deadline, whether that's because people asked too much of them, whether they weren't willing to pay the price or they just wanted to leave everyone out there and say, tell you what, let's figure out what you kids are capable of.
00:30Before we go spending draft capital equity or further cash. I don't know, whatever it was, but now here we are. And unfortunately, everything like Andy mentioned, your top cornerback who's going to want $35 million a season got toasted by somebody's number four. The team was lifeless for the first quarter. They didn't even show up until their quarterback airmailed a pick six and the injuries. Sorry, Andy, last one. Josh didn't have his best day either.
00:55No, he didn't. You can't say you had 17 million plays on goal to go without scoring and say the offensive coordinator was good. I will not say the offensive coordinator was good. He had a down day and you were in a dogfight, but you did pull out the victory with some help. I did appreciate the honesty of Mike Vrabel.
01:14I forgot which answer it was when he said something to the effect like they gave us one. They let us back in it or something like that with the Flacco pick six. Because if you don't get that Flacco pick six now, to be fair, I'd say the other if they didn't was 10 seven at the time. You're right. I apologize. Yes.
01:28So, like, those two pick sixes were huge for each team. They were part of the reason the Bengals were, you know, on upset alert. And then they were part of the reason you were quelling the upset alert a little bit. But they definitely let you back in. If they don't give you that pick six, and that was an absolute gift, I don't know how this game might turn out differently.
01:47And then we're really having a discussion because on top of all the injuries, if you had lost this game, and we weren't saying, well, they do have 10 wins, you'd be like, oh, they were nine wins and they snapped. They're losing. Like all those negativity would have piled up. But you won the game.
