00:00All right, so let's break down a few games here.

00:02I know that we got the, let's do, guys, let's do Falcons-Bucks first.

00:05It's in Mark's wheelhouse, certainly, and it's the first game coming up here.

00:08Okay, so Tampa Bay, I don't know what's going on here with the Buccaneers.

00:11I mean, they have gone completely the other way.

00:13I thought they would cruise to, like, 10-11 wins.

00:15That's not the case.

00:16Falcons season, obviously, is over, Mark.

00:19But what we saw last week is what we see in this division between, I think,

00:23those three teams, the Bucs, the Falcons, and the Saints, Mark.

00:27Whoever is laying the big number, I feel like going the other way.

00:30You never know year to year when these teams are going to beat up on each other.

00:33And we always see it with these teams, especially the Saints.

00:37Sometimes at home, they'll never lose, but then the Bucs come in and win two games in a row.

00:40The Bucs never lose to the Saints.

00:42Saints win their games this year.

00:43It's a wild division.

00:45Yeah, it's kind of hard to predict.

00:47And I got knocked out of each of my survivor pools, respectively,

00:50by when the Saints beat the Panthers and then the Saints beat the Bucs.

00:53So I officially hate the New Orleans Saints at this point in time.

00:57But to your point, the Bucs' real problem is defensively.

01:01Look at the last five games that they've lost.

01:03They've given up 28, 44, 34, and 24 to the inept Saints offense.

01:07Like, at least the Patriots, Bucs, Bucs, and Rams are good offenses.

01:10But you gave up 24 to a Saints offense that's been awful.

01:14The one game you won against the Cardinals, you only allowed 17, and you only scored 20.

01:19So there's problems on both sides of the ball right now.

01:22The offense just hasn't been healthy for a better part of this season.

01:24And so I certainly can understand why.

01:26But the defense, particularly the pass defense for the Buccaneers,

01:30is really where they struggle.

01:31They haven't been able to get that right.

01:33And because the defense has been so leaky,

01:35you're putting extra pressure on Baker Mayfield in the offense

01:38to be able to keep them in games and get them back in games.

01:40And unfortunately, last week, again, it bit them in the backside.

01:43They couldn't catch up.

01:44So what happens is this one right?

01:44Father, calm threw up!

01:45Three, four, five, one, five, six.

01:47Never mind.

01:49Two, five, three, four, five, four.

01:50So what doesabl
