00:00McDonald is so darn good, man, that it gives this team such a high floor.
00:06It really does.
00:07Like, 13 points probably shouldn't have been enough to win last night's game, right?
00:11Like, you know, we're in the betting space, Dan, and the Patriots team total wasn't 10.
00:16Like, they were supposed to be able to get to around 20 points last night.
00:21And Seattle never panicked because they knew defensively they were going to keep this team in this game.
00:26And that's obviously what they did.
00:28I don't think they're going to repeat.
00:30I don't think they're playing in the Super Bowl again.
00:31But that's okay.
00:33This team being in the postseason year in and year out, there's a lot of teams who would kill for
00:40that life.
00:41Do you think they win the NFC West?
00:45I don't.
00:46So here is the sobering reality.
00:50The Darnold stuff they're all positive about because they, I think, thought it could be a season-ending injury.
00:57But I think it's still on the board that Darnold misses October.
01:02And if that happens, that's six games, seven games this guy's going to miss.
01:08If you look at their games through October, which is six more games, with Darnold, they projected as favorites in
01:16five of the six.
01:19Without Darnold, they could be underdogs in five of the six.
01:23Some tight lines, Chargers, Niners, Chiefs at home.
01:26You'll go to Denver.
01:27You'll go to Washington.
01:28I could start against Arizona, and the Seahawks team would be booked as favorites.
01:32But that is one of the scary things for this team that you get a great win, a great, great
01:40win here.
01:41But now reality will settle in at some point.
01:43And we find out how long Sam Darnold is out for.
01:47And then we get a real outlook on what Drew Locke is going to have to do for this football
01:52team.
01:52No question about it.
01:54Hip injury last night to Darnold.
01:56We're still waiting to see how long that's going to be for him to be out, Darnold.
