I mean, look, I don't, I'm not trying to be dramatic. You could argue it's a franchise altering day. The Colts looked around the AFC, saw an open conference. A hot, you know, cults group and said let's go for it. They traded multiple first round picks. They bring in Sauce Gardner and all of a sudden they start losing football games. You know, Soss Gardner gets injured and it was tough to Joe because the decision to trade for Sauce showed a lot of confidence in Daniel Jones and I've been a critic of Daniel Jones in the past. Uh He was starting to lose a bit of his shot. I think we can acknowledge that. The first play of the game it was like Devin Lloyd, that's my target, throws an interception. But this all gets significantly complicated because today isn't really about me being like Jones isn't the guy. Jones just tore his Achilles. I don't know what that looks like. I know he's not playing the rest of the season, and that now sets the Colts up, Joe, to lose out. You tell me. They're, they're minus like almost 290 to win a game, but it's because, you know, are, are they gonna really lose out at Seattle? Oh, Home against the Niners, uh. Home against the Jags, and right at the Texans. All right, so they maybe win a game, maybe win a game. Ruby Slipper fell off before midnight. That's what happened. I mean, again, like, even if Jones was healthy, this was they were gonna be staring down the back. Although, you know what, that Sam Darnold game is always interesting because Sam Darnold is another one punching above his weight and, and he's doing great, but, but he throws some, some Daniel Jones type Daniel Jones-esque interception lost three in a row. This Colts team 4 or 5. Jonathan Taylor's not running the football. Well, but the MVP stuff, no, but we the running backs, OK, all right, maybe not me, but just anybody. You probably talk you must start. You gotta come on unless it's Sawon last year, right, but it wasn't the MVP. I, I'm just saying, but defense got sliced and diced yesterday. I mean, the defense is now, is now a sieve. Trevor looked unreal. Yeah, you know, one of his best performances of the season. And think about what Arizona was able to do with him just two weeks ago, forced 3 turnovers. So the pro, yeah, they're up against it emotionally. They thought they had a quarterback above AR, right? What's interesting, AR is still not off IR with the eye injury. You can't even go to Anthony Richardson in this time. Type of situation, not, not saying he would bring any, any win. I mean he would be, it would be be an upgrade from where you know we wouldn't be like no, no, no, the conversation would be can Anthony Richardson save the season? Not the Colts are gonna lose every game. But they have Riley Leonard now. If they get, let me ask you, let, let, let me ask you the winner, because before we got on air a championship game last year, but he also might have got injured in the game, went through his total, but that's all that matters. Listen. Joe Flacco, if Joe Flacco goes back to the Colts, and that's been a rumor where he would ask for a mutual release with the Bengals. Does, does he give them any shot to win two of those games? I, but I think you set it up. They're the defense is playing bad. The offense doesn't look as good. Could they steal one? I mean, that's not good enough, I don't think now. Think about it like this. We're talking about how doom and gloom KC is. The Chiefs have a tiebreak over there. They're dead. I mean, they're dead. Unless they, and they're, they're not winning games with Riley and Leonard, I could tell you that right now. They would need, they would need to really honestly change the whole complexity of the offense and get back to more of a, a triple option because Leonard can run. That is the one thing that Leonard can do. And we know that that's what they had at Notre Dame, which Darian Price and Jeremiah Love. Go back to that type of offense where you're gonna run it 80% of the time with. Jonathan Taylor and look to shorten games and hopefully you could steal one or two, but putting the, the complete game plan on Riley Leonard's shoulders right now, a quarterback that is more of just a project, they're on the out, they're gonna lose every game. So what do you do if you're not gonna get flack? This is the what do you do? So I, we, we agree to that. They're gonna lose every game. I, I mean, I, I wanna see the spreads first. They might win a game. You got them winning 2. No, I mean, I, I hold on. I think I, I think, I don't know if they have the updated win total. Let me see if I can get it for you quick. To win 2, go over 9.5, 2 wins. It's 2 to 1. I mean, would you rather, so for them to win two games is 2 to 1, for them to not win again is plus 210. See, I, I think it's more likely they don't win it, they don't win again than do match up well, I think, and they lost the game about a week ago to the Texans, but again, I still think that they can run the football and they from an offensive line perspective, don't feel the. Front 7. I, I think if they took a run first mentality against the Texans, because again, Texans' offensive game plan, let's play low scoring games. That's allowing teams to potentially be in it when you run the football. I'm just saying that would be the best if we're talking out of those 4 teams, Texans are the best one to get their victory over.
