Which were the 2-win Raiders and the 2-win New York Giants. The winner of that game was going to really control their destiny to have the first overall pick. If you are the Raiders, you are going to be looking for a new quarterback. You just, even Geno Smith's biggest fans can't defend what this season has ultimately ended up with, and you're gonna. Again, Fernando Mendoza is the favorite, maybe Dante Moore, you know, we can have those conversations. If you're the Giants that had the first overall pick though, there was some chatter about do you move Jackson Dart. I think most of that was silly, but you can then trade out. And maybe get a haul and you can try and shore up some other areas and, and there's some excitement there. 34-10 is the final score. The, the Giants dominated them. What was your biggest takeaway from this game? Well, I mean, I, I, I told Donnie when I did the pregame that, uh, I thought the Giants seem fishy as a, as a three-point favorite. Why? I mean, that's a significant road favorite for potentially two teams that were looking to tank. The game, right? It wasn't a 1, 1.5 line. We had, we had a flat 3 by the time the game kicked off in favor of the Giants, right, which was significant road favorite, and I thought the Giants were the right side. Again, I did feel the over would come in because if there's no Max Crosby and you have nobody really stepping up defensively, who's gonna tackle, right? You know, and Jackson Dor with a 200 yard performance, he steps up, he makes some plays, again. Las Vegas is in a major rebuild, right? They need a quarterback now. So I, I, I don't think Geno Smith is the answer in any capacity. He's, he's old. He's washed up. He could see the punches coming. He can't get out of the way. Got you. I have a serious question with the Raiders. This is a football team who made the decision to pretty outwardly tank in this game. Again, I don't think Geno Smith was like intentionally throwing picks. I just think he's that bad. The Max Crosby stuff where they, you know, sent him home. I, I think Crosby's played his last game as a Raider. I, I just don't think, I don't think. I think he will be more serious about getting to a winning situation than Miles Garrett was. Because Crosby's kind of already been paid, so I think now he'll look to go. And if I'm the Las Vegas Raiders, quite frankly, I'm willing to trade him. I don't need a superstar high-paid edge rusher with the way my program is set up. The Raiders thought this year was going to result in maybe 9 or 10 wins, sneaking into the playoffs. So, so they were just wrong. It happens. So because I think they should trade Crosby, because I think they are so far away. Are we sure they should be drafting a quarterback? I'm not saying give Geno another year. What I'm saying is Fernando Mendoza gets drafted and walks into what an awful offensive line, uh, uh, uh, again, the 6th overall pick last year at the running back Bowers like that. So Genty and Bowers are certainly foundational pieces, but like. Does this, can this team draft a quarterback like, like they have to. What if they're so far away? But then, then, OK, could they get Mac Jones? He's on the contract. Are they gonna get another, another free agent quarterback? Who are you gonna get? You, you, you're gonna tank next year as well. Yes, I know nobody likes that, Joe, but I mean, take your lumps. Is this team Fernando Mendoza away from what? But what if I'm not sick. I, I don't like Mendoza overall. I, I just think again he's, he's not mobile enough, uh, you know, he's a prototypical guy. He's got a little pocket presence, but he's not tucking it in a running like Caleb or, or any of, you know, Jaden. Um, I think the problem is, is that you, you can't go in with Geno Smith. You can't if they had Mac Jones or they had somebody that you could. I, I mean, Kyler Murray, I, no, I wouldn't do that. I mean, I mean, but you got, they have no weapons. Well, so they're gonna get abused. They're gonna be a two-win football. So I don't worry about the weapons as much as the offensive line spent the whole, the whole year being useless, and defensively, I mean, they have nothing outside of Max Crosby, and I think they should trade him.
