Ha and Peyton in the mornings on 104-3 the score.
How did Chicago make them look like they weren't even existed? Well on the quarterback. Taylor Williams, the ice man, he is one of the bigger best playmakers in the national football league at the quarterback position. And he is like the Stefan Curry at the quarterback position because when you watch Stefan Curry play, there's no such thing as a bad shot. He can make a shot from anywhere in the court. When you watch Taylor Williams play, there's no such thing as a bad throw. He can make a throw from anywhere in the football field rolling backside throwing across his body something they teach quarterbacks to not to do. He does it and he does it flawlessly. I mean his confidence level in year two with Ben Johnson, it felt like every time he touched the football he can score. Not with a drive but one play. The explosive that they have in their offense is almost pick or choose how you would like to go out. They can do it the slow way or they can do it the fast way but the end result is always getting into the paint. Welcome back. It's Ha and Peyton Chicago Sports Radio 104-3 the score beautiful Monday morning in the city. And it even feels like it's a little nicer every time the Bears score 59 points of people wake up and say, did you see that?
Telling people at work, telling people wherever they encounter them, talking to them on the train. Can you believe the Bears offense Brian McFadden from CBS Sports said that Caleb Williams was like Steph Curry. Steph Curry. That type of praise indeed. Steph Curry. Cop? That's a fun comparison. It's fun when you win like that. All these things, the exaggerations they seem like it's an overreaction Monday. What Monday don't we overreact on? Really? It's hard not to when you score 59 points. It's hard not to when you score 59 points. I get it. You want to have some fun? You can have some fun. We're going to give away something before we get to the Biggs. It's Biggs time coming up. We're going to try to we're connected with Brad until then six call it to the sports contest line. 312-540-0670.

That's some fun at Alpine in my days. That's some fun there. Yes, sir. I bet you have. So we're going to talk to Biggs in a moment. When you look when you hear these comparisons, Jared, when you look at the next phase of this Bears offense, there's really I don't know anything they can do better. But when you what do you think that how do they approach the Viking challenge because it is a different challenge. It's Brian Flores matched up against Ben Johnson. It's the attacking blitz scheme against whatever they faced yesterday. It's going to be something that is unlike most things that they're going to see on a regular basis. Yeah, I think for them attacking this is just being able to for Caleb to understand where his outs are when pressure is coming. So they're going to that offensive line those running backs have to be in on together when it comes to blitz pickup, but also to I think the backs have to be in in this run in this passing game as well.
So I'm talking about whether that's getting into the flat or getting out on swings to be able to give him another outlet when pressure is coming to be able to slow things down. Sometimes it's not going to happen. They're going to have the right play call to be able to stop you, but you have to be consistent and making sure that your backs are a part of this and also that that the hots are there as well. If you ever see in blitz on that side, you might have to cut off that route a little bit get across on a nice, an early slant and cut it off a little bit more. So there's going to be opportunities. There are blitz beaters out there. Ben Johnson is good at calling him. The bear has just got to be able to make it happen. We marvel at the fact that they scored 59 points without completing a past at Colston, loveland. They did try. There were a couple of targets and one of them was I think Caleb Williams regretted missing in the end zone. He had a step inside. I believe it was on Mike Jackson and he was open and I think Caleb through behind him. Do you think that there will be a more concerted effort this week to try to get the ball to Colston, love and does it matter that he didn't have any catches because you cannot complain about.
Anything about your offensive production. No, I don't think it's it's a it's a big worry moving forward. I just think that's just what the game and how the game played itself out. I think it's a good thing though that Colston, love and wasn't that active and this bear's team still had a lot of success on offense. I mean, Cleve Raymond stepped up. You already know what you're getting from Luther Bird in the run game was on point. So I think it's time progresses. We're going to see him get more involved. As of right now, I think it came down to the panther saying, Hey, we got shut somebody down. We got to figure out a way, but there's so many different weapons. It's hard to stop everybody. He might be more involved into the game plan going into week two. Jones went down at one point. He got he was injured. He left the field. Theo Bennett that replaced him briefly. Braxton Jones returned. I guess the good news is that there wasn't really a time when Jalen Phillips had a sack, but that's going to happen. That's what he's paid to do. They did give up 59 points. So I don't know that you look at the bears offensive line is it's hard to complain about anything or worry about anything after a performance like that. Braxton Jones held his own.
Yeah, that's what you wanted to see. The hard part is is you and I said to get back to this point for him was a big deal. The injuries that we've seen throughout his career have kind of sideline to him and not given that opportunity. This is it for him. And just for the sounds of Ben Johnson doesn't seem like it's just his job to have for the whole entire year. That's something you have to prove weekend and week out. But the fact that there wasn't no big huge huge alarm bells ringing kind of makes it feels good that his offensive line is where they need to be. Floyd texted 312. Yes, 59 points was great. However, going against the Vikings this week and the defense has to step it up. The corners got destroyed. The rookie safety did well. But emphasis on the defense this week. Thanks Floyd. Dylan Thiniman was targeted. I feel like early. He handled those challenges fairly well. He didn't do everything great. There are a couple times where I think he also there was a penalty call he was picked that's going to be life in the NFL.
He's going to see that more in in professional football that even in college football because the way that they can use these rubber out and they can create space with legal picks or legal just misdirection. And then I felt like he was more aggressive and in the second half I think you saw him running the alley with more purpose and his tackles were definitely more certain and I think that's a good sign because when you can prove from one half to the next you see one game to the next and then by the by mid season by the end of the season. I think you're going to get what you thought you were drafting. Yeah, I think you we saw a young man, especially in in the preseason still trying to figure it out. This is a whole another speed on Sundays once you kick off the NFL season. This is not second string guys, third string guys that everybody on the field is fast and I think getting picked on early and maybe give you a little butterflies going into your first real game and being like, oh man once you get settled in a little bit. I think we're going to see game after game that he is going to give.
Better still going to get picked on though. You're a rookie. So you're still going to get picked on until you can prove that you that you're one of those dudes. I think when you look at milk Muhammad, he might have been picked on a little bit more than your typical. Nickel corner back would have because he was making his first NFL start as well pressed into action when Xavier Woods was in active and you had to make some moves with Cam Lewis playing free safety and Muhammad moving into the nickel roll. That's a role he played pretty well. He had an interception. I felt like he was aggressive and it was a really memorable interception for him to have that to be able to have that ability to gain ground to get back to that ball. To me just shows why the Bears and why polls thought he was special. He's got something in him and I've always been a fan of letting young guys get that valuable time early on because that grows for the future.
You have guys that have to play meaningful snaps early on in their career. Yes, they are going to fail. Yes, you are going to have some issues and you're going to they're going to figure it out on the fly. But it's only going to make them better, especially if they're ballers. They're only going to get better with the more reps that they get. You look at that draft class and I'm not sure that the Bears expected to be in a position to rely on three rookie defensive players this early in their season. No, and yet here they are Jordan Van der Berg, Malik Muhammad and as we said, Dylan Theaneman. All right. We have connected with Brad Biggs and it is time for Biggs Time. The Brand Biggs Biggs Time. Biggs with all in paint. Biggs Time. The Biggs report with Brand Biggs. Biggs Time. Biggs. His name is Brad Biggs. Brand Biggs talks football with you. Let's go now to the plumbers 911 hotline plumbing emergency call 1 8 3 3 plum 911 local 130 plumbers get the job done right the first time.
He is the best source for bears information anywhere. He is Brad Biggs and he joins us now morning Brad. Morning boys. What's going I get a load of this? Okay, get a load of this. So so we're like first flight out of Charlotte this morning. Okay. Yeah. And this and now you can't board the plane. The flight attendant left his luggage at the hotel and he's got to go back and get it. And so, you know, here I'm in like an hour and 15 minutes late getting back because I'm sure you took this news well. Well, you should have seen the look on the pilot's face when I was getting up the plane and I recommended that maybe he see if they get the flight attendant fired. But did you recommend that or did you demand that? I just I said you got to look in this so you can get your buddy in the back fired. That's unacceptable really. It is one guy. How do you get this affecting so many people's lives every every seat filled? How do you leave all town with your luggage? I'm so this guy's got life problems, but let's talk about the bears. Okay. We'll talk about the bears. Definitely. But we're going to give defensive problem.

And so the opponents on the schedule this season. No doubt about it Brad that was quite a performance. I just I loved your 10 thoughts on on Chicago tripping dot com. It's a must read for all bears fans everywhere. I think that you could start a lot of different ways but the talk around the league today will be yes about the Ben Johnson, Johnson offense. But number two I think or maybe this will be the take take away Caleb Williams boy that was he was in command of every aspect of the operation. It was good. But what 21 to 29 and there were probably I got to go back and count them up three or four balls that he threw away to. Avoid a sack or not run out of bounds. So the completion percentage was up for the people that have been looking at accuracy.
Ball placement was great like you talk about the Colcomat touchdown pass. That was a really small window there. The size of when he was going to pull the ball down and run. He's always been better fat. He was great. Both the backs were fantastic. The offensive line probably doesn't get enough credit, even as good as it's been, you know, to run for 290 something is unbelievable. Like I went and found Jalen Phillips in the carol in a locker room after the game because he was on that Eagles team last November guys after the Philadelphia picked him up in a trade that the bears ran for 280 on. And so Phillips is there yesterday in the bears go for 290 and he didn't have a lot of explanations, but and there was certainly grass for answers. The Panthers who spent a lot of money to try to upgrade that defense. And they got back to the back during free agency and the bears just they got everything that wanted.
It seemed out of that offensive performance. The segment with Brad Biggs is brought to you by plumbers 911 plumbing emergency call the plumbing professionals available 24 71833 plum 911. Brad, did you think that Cleve Raymond was going to be as big of a factor as he was yesterday. Caleb seems to really have a trust level with the vet and he played pretty good yesterday. Yeah, I think you could see that Raymond was going to be this easy comfortable target for Caleb back in the spring when you're watching practice. Okay, and because he can do a couple things number one, he's still really fast even though he's in year 10 or whatever it is. But number two, he's got a knack for making himself available and that's not easy for every guy that's 5 foot 8 180 or whatever he measures at. Like, it's a little guy, but he knows the scheme from Detroit and he knows how to work creases in the defense.
So I thought he'd be a factor yesterday. I didn't certainly wasn't going to predict that he was going to lead the team and receiving or anything like that. But not only was he doing that, he's throwing himself around. Blocking for other wide receivers in the run game, like look at that block he had on the manungai touchdown run. So he's a really good. I mean, that was a sneaky good signing by Ryan Poles back in March that I think as a chance to only look better is this season goes along and he's not going to go eight for 80 or whatever the numbers were every week. But you know that when he's out there on a field like this is a guy that's going to get it was a second gun. The segment Brad Bigsponsor by S wing professional tools made in the USA for over 100 years S wing dot com. Brad, where do you start defensively? You win 5937, but the 37 boy was really a big number.
How does Dennis Allen approach this challenge? Yeah, I mean, you got a try to eliminate the big plays. That was the problem. And I said, Carolina ran the ball relatively well against the bears to the numbers didn't get crazy, but the panthers sort of had a band in the running game there eventually. So I think it's finding finding ways to not give up those those chunk plays because Bryce Young is in a guy that's going to run the football whole lot. But watching him in person for the first time yesterday, he's slippery. He knows how to avoid the rush to create some time and make some plays and the past rest wasn't getting home. There were, you know, Tyreek. I had a poor play on that 51 year touchdown pass to Jalen Coker. They've just got to be better and a lot of different ways and hope that you know they can keep scoring.
They can keep scoring points and and bunches because what you're going to have to rethink bears football, you know, I thought I called the playing class night and he said he's watching the game and he thought that it was some other team wearing fake bears uniforms. Hey, hey, Brad, I've already heard what what Ben Johnson had to say about going forward on fourth down on their own 21. So it felt pretty good about it. You're take on on the play call them going forward. Did you think it was the right play call when they ran it? Well, I mean, let's talk about the play call to start with. If you think that from guard to guard, you're as good or better than every other team in the NFL. And if you've got a quarterback is strong and the lower body is Caleb is. You got to be able to pick that up, right? I would think I can understand feeling good about it.
And that's just so stupid. He thinks of his defense, right? You know, if I if I had to hear from my 20. You're going to take over somewhere about on your own 40 and I don't like my defense as a chance as a stopping you. It's just a tough spot to do that. Regardless of the game situation, Brad's right to I know. I know that. But it's it's something still that just stands out as being very unorthodox. And when it 100% 100% but like that's who this guy is and and I think too when you look at some of these. Super math guys out there that have their models. They they said that that one was a coin flip. Like that one didn't strike them as being obtuse. Okay. So bottom line, I think for Ben is he wants them to execute the play that was called better.
I love the way that Caleb Williams picked him up post game at the podium by saying that they had his back and it was a mentality play. That was the right answer for that question because everyone knew it was coming. And it's a debate that is worth having. But I think if they had to do it all over again, they would probably punt. Maybe not. I mean, they might have given up 44 then, right? Or 45. I mean, Dennis Allen, I think I'd have for blocking the one extra point. That's right. That's true. That's true. All right, Brad, we are short on time, but we'll have a lot of time tomorrow. That's okay. One more question though. I want you to answer on the way out because I found this fascinating. In your 10th thoughts and Chicago tripping dot com, I'd recommend everybody go check it out. You got a hold of foot doctor Mo about what the next phase is for Kylie Gordon, what's some of the background is? How would you summarize that in a minute about talking to foot doctor Mo and what it means for Kylie Gordon's future? Well, I think foot doctor Mo's optimistic that Kyler will be available for football activities here in the near future.
Obviously, you know, he's working directly with Kyler, but has no control over what happens when Kyler gets back in the building and gets out on the practice field. But he said that Kyler is in good spirits, which I think is encouraging to know and believes that it says he's been operating pain free for a while now, which is good to know and believes it'll be back sooner rather than later. So that's a positive and but I think I and I've said this before with the kind of a good situation. It's going to be, you know, we got to see it to believe it like here in it is one thing. You're going to have to see it and then the next step for him will be getting on the practice field at some point that can't happen this week, obviously. But stay tuned because Dr. Mo put Dr. Mo was pretty pretty up beat optimistic about him. Great stuff, Brad. Welcome back. We're glad you got it back safely.
If not on time, really appreciate it. I'm great. Thank you, guys. You too, Brad Biggs from the Chicago Tribune coming in a little bit late. That's okay. It's understandable. His explanation was good. I'm sure his recommendation was taken with the way that deserved. Yeah, definitely. That guy needs to. How do you leave your suitcase at the? I could a lot of things popped in my head that I probably can't say. Who makes that known? They threw that guy under the bus. He made everybody lay and they threw him under the bus. All right, we need to take a break. When we come back, what did you see in the NFC North that you liked? Maybe didn't like. There were a couple very good games, Vikings against the Packers and then the lion stealing one from the Saints. And that is the right word. We'll talk about it next. It's hot and patent.

He throws to the end zone. In complete. The lion's winning. Who's it? Almost picked. It is picked. Off the deflection. Another takeaway.
And it's Pierre down near the 10 yard line. That's the first time love has ever been intercepted in this stadium. Welcome back. It's Ha and Peyton. Chicago Sports Radio 104th 3th of score. Yes, let's take a look at the NFC North. That was the call from the lions 31 to 30 victory in overtime. Over the New Orleans Saints, who came marching into Ford Field and left with a loss. And then up in Minneapolis, the Vikings lose Kyler Murray to a concussion scary look tough hit early. Carson Wentz comes in somehow in the fourth quarter. They explode. They come back 39 to 39 to 22. How do you explain that? I can't explain it. So with Carson Wentz coming out the bench, it just a 22.4 quarter touchdowns. What? It sets up a match up between the two unbeaten teams in NFC North Sunday on the lakefront home opener for the Bears. The Vikings come in 1 and 0. The Bears come in 1 and 0. I think both teams might feel differently about their 1 and 0.
But that is what it is. Jarrett, though, let's go up to Detroit. Let's talk about what happened at Ford Field 31 to 30. The Saints lose. There was a game. There was a call earlier in that game that did affect the outcome. Jarrett, golf had this sack strip fumble. And it looked like it should have been look like an obvious fumble. If you play football and you see that play, it's like, all right. So chase young gets to the quarterback. He beats. Penetrile, which doesn't happen often. Jarrett, golf's in the throwing motion. The ball is dislodged. It goes backward. He finishes the throw, like a pass that completed pass, which fit the definition of a rule. And it was an incompletion. But the Saints cornerback scooped it up. Ran into the end zone. Jonas Sankers going in celebrating touchdown. Saints, they tied up to seven early in the game. We don't went to overtime. But that was one that you look at and you understand the rule interpretation. But come on. That was a fumble. Right.
Yes, it was. That's the part of this game, though. Sometimes the calls go your way. Sometimes they don't, David. And you have to be able to capitalize on there. Still, though, they, they just won by the skin of their teeth. Indy Troy, you know, I'm talking about. So you got a monster day by Jermir Gibbs had 130 some yards. He did. He earned his money. He earned his money. And then you start to look, you got to look at how they let the Saints come back into this game. I'm more worried about that, that Vikings team. Cause when you got JJ coming to town, that always scares me with what's going on on the outside with those cornerbacks. Justin, not my car. Yeah, not that not that JJ. Sorry. Yeah, my car is coming back. Be at the back of quarterback. Good on likelihood. Yeah. Not like last year. And Flores bringing all that the boots packages. Oh, man, I'm ready for it. You're ready for the bears to face all of the pressure. Yes, I'm ready. This is this is where you want to be tested. You're getting tested in your own division. The NFC Nord showed you. We just, what you, we talked about it earlier.
There, these teams are scoring points. Scoring points. Everyone over it was over, over at least 30 points, except for the Packers Brian Flores blitz 78% of the time yesterday. He believes in pressure like no defensive coordinator in the NFL believes in pressure. You think about that. That is out of every 10 snaps. He's coming at just seven or eight times. And that's something that I understand. Caleb Williams has this innate sense of when the pocket is collapsing. But he's got to be even more on top of things this week, more than ever, because he won't face a defensive coordinator or a defense is going to come after him more than the Vikings will. With a different array of looks, a variety of coverages and Harris Smith will be back there directing traffic in a way that 15 year veterans do. That's why your offensive line is is paid the way that they are that they got they got to be able to withstand some of that pressure. So it's going to be on him making the right calls, making the right reads.
But then also to that offensive line communicating alongside with the backs to be able to pick up any type of pressure that's coming. And this might be the week that we see the ball just get out of his hands a lot quicker. Or pick your poison, let him get outside and keep using his legs as well like we saw in week one. Just take care of yourself. That's that's the big thing for protection first protection. And then completions will come. Yeah, because you do trust the depth of your receiving core, which is what we saw yesterday. Kaleigh Framon steps forward and becomes the go to guy he has is a Gatley's team in receptions Luther Burton did what he has. Ben Johnson said he was going to do Roma doons. We haven't mentioned that yet. The 47 yard catch that he made on the will leaves helmet. What that was that was a circus catch and that was something that you expect. Or at least that was what you expected when Rome came into the league. You know me he must him. He must him. I want to see more of that, but also just getting into a rhythm with Rome because I think he gives you that ability of down the field going up and get 50 50 balls in the air.
That's what we saw when he was at Washington. I want to see that more this year with this young man because he does he has that ability. It's just sometimes it is hard with the way that the offense is kind of how it flows. And as of right now it seems to be flowing kind of more inside than it is on the outside. Just had a route out of the break. I just felt like I was kind of naked. So through the hand up Caleb was scrambling back there doing what he does. You know you've been defenders and as you saw me and gave me a shot and I was able to. Oh man, you know it's going to be contested catch just seeing the flight path of the ball. You know seeing where we're dropping down seeing the defender closing. So just staying focused on the football. You know keeping not in the ball. I mean, as people say, you know, there's a lot of distractions coming in with him coming close to you. So just staying calm and boys in that moment to make the catch. You know what I thought of when I heard him talking about that and when I saw that unfold. I hope you're about to say what I was just taking. The scramble drill. Yes sir. We talked about that last week. Yes sir. I was just thinking about that.
Dan Weeder included that nugget in his story in the athletic. It was really well done. And so that happens. And he goes up for it. And it was like Caleb knew that he could trust Roman this situation or he would be where he was going to be because it almost as if they had rehearsed this. And how do you rehearse to play that crazy? Well, I think the bears kind of do which was what made that so stand out. I was like wow they orchestrate their chaos. You got to and just to give you in those in those situations where it is it's hard to kind of simulate that play. But if you're having a little chaos going on when Caleb is scrambling and you can feel a little bit more at ease when that when the ball is coming towards you. Man, it takes one less thing to worry about when you practice something over and over again. The fact that they do that and they practice chaos shows up in plays like that on the football. So they have two runners over a hundred yards. They spread the ball around to three different receivers who made plays that were definitely key plays at different moments.
Cole commit the tie-down who did catch a pass yesterday comes through with great hands in the end zone for that touchdown reception that was put exactly where it needed to be between two defenders. Coulson loved and didn't catch a pass and it didn't matter which is remarkable and nobody and I say this with all due respect because he was one of the easy to be a favorite bear. But nobody missed DJ more nobody missed DJ more. Oh, he was doing this thing with the thing. Well, I know he did his thing with with he's good Josh Allen. Yeah, five catches a hundred yards. He had his himself a day. He made a really nice catch. And I think yeah, you you you wish him well until you see him in the Super Bowl or you see him, you know, at some point during the regular season first can't wait to someone ask him about how to. So did you see the bear's offense? How did look? You know that question's coming. I did not ask him that type of question in Buffalo. Are they they want to make him uncomfortable. He had five catches a hundred yards with a touchdown long of 43 targeted eight times in the Josh Allen offense.
He's living good. And they be eaten. They beat one of the best defenses in the AFC with the Houston Texans 36-31. That was a good game too. Really good. A lot of high scoring games. It's all about offense in the NFL now. It is in week one. Slow down. Oh, you think it's going to slow down. 10 teams scored 30 points yesterday. Maybe the Chiefs will score more than 30 tonight. And the defense is going to catch up some. I don't think so. Not tonight. The thing is going to be rough at the Chiefs tonight. You do. Yeah. I really do. You pick it against the Chiefs. I'll take the points. I think it's two and a half. Taking Broncos. Give me the points. Dustin. There's a thing chiefs have a problem the night at left tackle. They have a problem the night left tackle and the Chiefs have them burned in the past. Go back to the Tom Brady Super Bowl. Box Chiefs Chiefs had a problem at left tackle. That problem. Both tackles in that game. That that could be a problem. I don't I think this is going to be like a low scoring. I don't think this is a video game. I guess a low low scoring affair. I think the Chiefs are going to try to run the ball. Remember they picked up Walker right from the Seahawks to help them out in the backfield.
They may try to they may try to do their best to also run right tonight. My homes is back. I mean I'm not going to bet I'm not going to bet against Patrick my homes. I'm just worried about the fact that their left tackle is not going to play tonight. That is an issue. That would scare me if I was passing this is this would be a pass for me. I pass it. Sit out this game. Save save my save my save my investments. I just can't there's so many props that look just so well that's a whole that's a whole another story. I'm talking pass on the side and told what was the biggest surprise for you yesterday score wise. Game wise. What was the biggest not not that the bear scored 59 points but it was a game that he's a oh my gosh. I did not expect that. Yeah. It was the bears game. Yeah. Come on. I'm dead serious. I was not expecting that at all. There's no. Who else are we talking about it may maybe. The Raven scored 41 points in Indianapolis. The Ben Johnson offensive tree if you will sprouted yesterday. They scored 59 points for the bears and deck on Doyle 41 for the Ravens. That's a day.
That's a hundred and how about the coach how about the coach owner coming out and like putting them on notice after the loss. Put the head coach in the general manager Chris Ballard on notice that that's not going to cut it after the first week. There came out and talk. There can be had himself a day yesterday. You did but I read all time now in rushing touchdowns where is he on yards. We were talking about in my household. He's creeping. Could I give you my David. Yes, please. I did ask. I have. You're a third. But it's the second window because I think while I was looking at my phone and watching social media. My eye I did not I did not change the channel. I didn't go red zone except for half time. My eyes and ears were on the bears game. But I was shocked. I wonder how survivor pools got rocked by the chargers losing at home to the Cardinals. I know. People are like they're a slam dunk to have the number one pick in the draft. So that was most surprising to me. And I could go a little bit on Packers Vikings when they lose their starting quarterback on what the fifth play of the game or something.
Kyler Murray goes out to a concussion early. They bring in Carson. Why it's I didn't even what's he 40. He's got to be up there. And yes, the Vikings took care of business. And they score all the points in the fourth quarter. Did not see that coming. Yeah, the floor had a real bad effort. Well, Matt. Not Mike. Yeah. Well, Mike had a great after Mike. Mike was not the little floor brother. I was winning yesterday. I thought I thought the Packers might know I actually picked the Vikings in that game. So I'm going to say I'm going to stick with that one. Yeah, I picked the Vikings because I thought that would be a problem. But I didn't have Kyler Murray going out five place into the game. I mean, that's that was a scary scary. Chargers in trouble. I mean, I don't think Herbert's going to be able to save this day. But we we talked about that when early on when we were talking about division winners. We said that the charges going to have their issues. And then last night, the clubs of loop. John Harbaugh shows you from day one. Snap one coaching matters. The NFL. There's something about that Giants team. It looks totally totally different. Skateboard. Nah. Okay. That defense is nasty. That's it. Right there. That defense on those edges. Yes, he's right. And they look crazy in the blue uniform. They're so athletic. They're coming at you. Look like me in my old days. Oh my. Sorry.
