For the box I, I don't think this is a game to overreact on. Uh, I, I actually feel even more confident in what I said heading into it, where if you are a believer in this team, a loss is good for you. Look at Tampa Bay in the NFC market now, dropping like a rock, 14 to 1. That is more than double the number of a Seattle Seahawks team. Yet the Bucks are significantly bigger favorites to host a home playoff game than Seattle. In fact, probably that game would be against Seattle, the team that they've already beaten here. For the Bucks, the, the goals are very simple. Dead healthy. Win your division. They are, they can only get healthier, it feels like, right, the famous last words in San Francisco, and they're still big favorites to win that division, Ley. Yeah, I think the biggest thing too is we see younger players getting incorporated in duty that maybe they wouldn't have gained throughout the regular season. Players like Sean Tucker that accounted for 3 touchdowns, Tez Johnson that has stepped up in the passing attack. So when you get those playmakers back, hopefully like Mike Evans and some of the others like McMillan in the passing attack. That if it's a playoff environment, Baker Mayfield has multiple targets and weapons to utilize. Once Bucky Irvine comes back, that they have now a three-headed monster at the running back position. Rashad White, Tucker, and Bucky Irvine, you have fresh legs at all times. This team is potentially built as a dark horse to maybe make an NFC championship run. And, and I'll just say this. I know they lost to Detroit, uh, in the regular season, but if they were to meet up, let's say, in a playoff type of setting, I would still buy into Baker as a, as an, you know, an underdog in that type of situation. They never get respect. They have won playoff games with Baker Mayfield. They have played toe to toe with some of the best competition on their schedule, including Going to Buffalo on Sunday and going toe to toe with them for basically 54 minutes. I mean, what more can you ask for out of this team? I, I, I think again, they're not a perfect team. They're not going to be 17-0, but if they are an 11 win football team, they're gonna not, they're gonna be a, a choice to think about big picture outside the Eagles to maybe make a run.
