I have a follow-up question for you, Marshall, because you just said you're going to invest in this game.
So once you put money down on this game, doesn't it become more consequential?
This is your brain on playoff football.
Honestly, guys, it's a heavy day out here, and it always is.
And you can feel the suddenness, I think, for all the guys in there that are a little bit in shock that they don't have practice this weekend in an NFC championship to prepare for.
No matter how many times somebody's been through it, a guy like Kevin Byard, who's done this many, many times in his life, there's an understanding that it just ends so quickly, and that next season...
No matter what team you're on or what you're trying to pursue, you've got to start all the way back at the start again.
And so I think that's a really sharp realization that pops in on a day like today.
You're still trying to unpack a game that ended like, you know, what, 16 hours ago and had so much involved in it.
I will say the one thing that sort of struck me the most out of anything is the word disbelief came up.
a handful of times, particularly as it related to the last kick that ended the game.
And for a team that basically spent four months providing a joyride based on belief, the disbelief feels really, really powerful.
Can't give you any clarity on that whatsoever.
But yeah, we did not get a chance to talk to DJ.
We did not get a chance to talk to him last night.
It's a little disappointing that for something like this, you would like to kind of close the book on it and, you know, neatly clean it up as soon as you possibly can and then get on to the next thing.
Yeah, so this is where Caleb's words sort of require a response from DJ in some ways.
And Caleb said today that he hadn't even had a chance to talk to DJ yet about what happened on that play, which is a little bit surprising, right, given the moment and given what it signified.
