But I'm not going with it.

I'm looking.

I'm not gonna jump off my bandwagon, even though I don't like the way the bucks look against the Saints.

Of course.

And I certainly don't like what I saw last night.

I believe in Tom Brady and I'm not gonna jump off that bandwagon.

I think that when it really, really counts, the Rams offense is going to let them down.

The defense will shine through.

Offense will let them down.

Yesterday, when you the last thing you needed was a turnover and Jared Goff threw that interception.

This this is the kind of stuff that happens.

I don't believe in the Rams offense to that degree.

I believe in their defense, not their offense.

I'm a role with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.

I'm still not gonna jump off that bandwagon.

I can't argue with anybody that would pick the Saints after what the Saints did to them twice this year.

I can't argue with that.

I just refuse to believe that the States would beat them three times in the same season.

I don't see Tom Brady losing a one opponent on three separate occasions in the same year with the Rams.

I got questions about their offense.

That's why I'm sticking with the Bucks, even though right now I can understand why anybody was there.

Otherwise, hold up.

You don't see Tom Brady losing to the same opponent three times in the same year.

That would be one thing if it was going in the right direction.

It was trending in the right direction, like Tom Brady barely loses.

Or Tom Brady gets blown out by Breeze in the Saints, and then, as they're getting gaining momentum and everything now it's a close game.

And so you have reason to believe next time it'll be different.

It went the other way, brother.

It was.

It was like neither team looked that good.

You can understand Tom Brady just got there and all that.

And then the next time they linked up, it was the same.

And by the way, the Saints are.

If this is all assuming Breeze gets back, if he gets back, what the injury will have meant likely is that he got some time off.

Think about Drew Brees recently in the playoffs, he's looked beaten up, worn down.

He's looked old right, he's looked fatigued.

Not if he has several weeks off, especially 456 weeks off.

Taysom Hill.

Look pretty good.

Looks like they can.

They can keep their heads above water while they're waiting for breeze.

Then Breeze comes back.

I've mentioned repeatedly in recent years of Saints against the run have been the most consistent off the dynamic offensive teams.

Right?

You're in and you're out there pretty good there for a team with a dynamic offense.

But the offense got more dynamic, at least on paper with Emmanuel Sanders, a real number two receiver.

The defense got better again, at least on paper, and it's paying dividends already with Kwon Alexander trade, who's a good player?

They were able to get him because of his contract, not because he can't play.

He's good and the Saints defense just got better.

Look at what they just did.

I know it's against the Falcons.

Their defense looked tremendous this week, so if you're looking at the NFC and you don't like the Ram Stephen A because of golf and I'm kind of with you there, actually you're not taken against the Saints because you think Brady is not gonna lose three times to the Saints when the second beating was worse than the first.

It's New Orleans.

Yeah, I absolutely agree.

It's It's gotta be New Orleans and and I've been a bucks apologist the entire season.

But what, what?

What was shown last night?

The reason it's so concerning is because of one of the things Stephen A said.

I wish I had to mute, but I could have stopped them, you know, right then and jumped in on the defense of the tip of a Buccaneers.

When you challenge Jared golf to beat you and he does, that concerns me, right?

Because if if you look at this offense and what they're capable of doing and you talk about the vaunted buck's defense and how they were gonna hang their hat on that and and last night, they get the turnovers because golf will give you a couple.

But but two receivers completely controlled the game and not just making catches, but yards after the catch.

So what does that mean?

That means the front four of the Buccaneers couldn't impose its will when you flipped it over.

The Rams defensive line definitely imposed his will.

So when you take it to the Saints, the Saints defensive line will implode.

Impose.

Impose its will against that Tampa Bay offensive line as well.

So it drew Drew Brees.

Coming back, obviously, is the starting point.

He has to come back.

I will say this about the Rams.

The one thing that is encouraging about the Rams is when you talk about when golf is called to make the plays.

This could be the game that you look back on and go.

Man, this is a defining moment in this guy's career.

Going into Tampa Bay being challenged, do it absolutely no resemblance of a run game.

And he put it on his shoulders and they want and listen.

Whether it's two receivers, 10 receivers, I really don't care.

He played to the level to be a very good defense and an offense that, uh, of time being run by Tom Brady.

That's a pretty big deal.

So this could be a feather in the cap type game for Jared golf and the encouragement of moving forward.

But man that Saints team boys looking stat, just like Max said.

One thing that I would say before we end This is that mad Max?

You know, you're not You're not seeing where I'm coming from in this regard.

The fact that they look so bad to me is what would motivate them to really, really correct the error of their ways I'm talking about when they got blown out by the Saints.

If it were to nail biters, I think you got a better chance off taking.

You got a better chance off sweeping, winning three straight.

But when you blow out a Tom Brady team that's so loaded, I can't believe that bad when you get trounced 38 to 3.

I think the next time they met New Orleans they will be ready because they know they'll get annihilated if they're not.

Stephen.

Stephen A.

Stephen A.

What do you change?

Like you're asking a leopard to change his spots, right?

Eso Bruce Arians and left, which are all the sudden because that's what's gonna have to change the ball.

Can't they can't challenge them down the field.

That's a big change.

That's like a philosophical change.

I'm just not sure that's what it has to be, but you said it.

Just risk it.

No big huh?

But you said it yourself, Jeff.

You said it yourself.

The great ones.

The great ones do that.

What do we rave about?

What Bill Belichick you go in week in week out about how to win that game, whatever it takes.

Maybe Bruce Arians is still a page from that.

Yeah, but Bruce Arians came back and said he had got Los Angeles.

You remember like he talked about Oh, we have.

We've got guys open like that's not a guy who seems like man, we made some errors.

That's a guy who thinks we're gonna challenge him and you don't see it go.

I just I just don't see that right now.

This was a big time showdown.

Brady and them had to be totally prepared.

They were playing a team that had to travel back and forth across the country constantly.

They were favorites and went in the moment of truth.

Brady couldn't get it done, just like you couldn't get it done against Miami last year at the end of the season, just like you couldn't get it done against the Saints twice this season, just like you couldn't get it done in Chicago with the game on the line.

Brady couldn't get it done.

He has all the weapons in the world.

I don't think you could point to Arians.
