00:00We're talking about a potential number one seed and, you know, a guy playing quarterback who's been in the conversation for MVP all year.
00:07How do you categorize this total turnaround here by the team?
00:11Gawking.
00:12This one word.
00:14Shocking, Mark.
00:15And I was thinking about it on the ride that, you know, that I was alluding to there.
00:21Where were we at this time last year?
00:24And I'll just remind everyone, they were coming off week 17 nationally televised home loss to the Chargers where fans were wearing paper bags on their heads, if I remember.
00:40And it was really embarrassing.
00:42And it seemed like the nation was embracing this.
00:47Hey, the Patriots are finally getting theirs after all those years of excellence.
00:51And, Mark, I remember thinking after that game, like, where's this thing going to go?
01:00You know, and I remember thinking it requires, like, some bold leadership from really the top of the top, right?
01:09Like, ownership.
01:10Like, what is Robert Kraft going to do?
01:12Like, is he going to bring back this coaching regime, which he's invested a lot in and he cares a lot about?
01:21Or is he going to rip the Band-Aid off and absorb a lot of money in doing so and go make a change?
01:30And I think, to me, what has happened from that moment to now, like, it starts there with ownership, and then it just trickles all the way down.
01:40I just, I can't believe a year removed from that that we are sitting and talking about what we're talking about right now.
