00:00Is this year now, Keith, successful no matter what?
00:03They're 14-3.
00:04They're the two-seed in the AFC.
00:06They're hosting a home playoff game.
00:07They won the division.
00:09Is this year successful no matter what happens,
00:12or do they still need to validate it with a win on Sunday?
00:15So I think we're allowed to change our expectations
00:17because three months ago, if you said they were 14-3,
00:20you'd be like, you're insane.
00:21That has so many wins.
00:23But that would be automatically a successful season.
00:25I wanted the team to be in the hunt.
00:28I thought they'd be a playoff team.
00:29I thought they'd be like the seven-seed playing in this exact matchup
00:32but on the road somewhere else.
00:34So like 14-3, yeah, that's a success.
00:37But I think they need to beat the Chargers.
00:39Like this is a very winnable game.
00:41You are at home against a team that you are favored to beat,
00:45a team that's had all kinds of playoff issues in their past.
00:48So if they go out there and lose a really close game,
00:52you're not going to call it a failure, right?
00:54That's where we swing back and forth.
00:56Like is it truly a success?
00:57Is it a failure?
00:58Is it somewhere in the middle?
01:00But I'm now at the point where I want to get greedy.
01:02I think they need to win this game and then sort of see what happens.
01:05Yeah, so because I agree with what you just said.
01:08They're not a failure.
01:08Obviously, they lose to the Chargers.
01:10I don't go, the year is a failure.
01:11No, no chance.
01:12Like I can't bring myself to say that.
01:15But it'd be disappointing and it wouldn't be like, oh, it's house money.
01:17Like some of this stuff like, oh, it's not everything.
01:19Everything now is gravy.
01:20Like, well, it's definitely disappointing.
01:22Yeah, yeah.
01:22If they lose.
01:23The year is a success.
01:25They've won 14 games.
01:26They won the division.
01:27They're the two seed.
01:28They're at home.
01:29Like the year is a success.
01:30I think it's borderline impossible to take that away from them.
01:33So, I think it's borderline impossible to take that away from them.
