It's red zone.

As amazing as they were late in games and rallying back, if they're able to put teams away better next year, that's going to be key.

And that goes on all three phases, really, to be better.

And I think the defense did so many great things for the offense, and the offense just could not cash in on some of those opportunities.

Yeah, listen, I always start with never doubt Ryan Poles, never say never.

I mean, we've seen the guy take some big swings and not even Ryan Poles, just the whole league, right?

You see trades now that you didn't see 10 years ago.

You see guys move around at parts of their career that never would have happened.

It's just teams are so willing to move on from guys and other teams are willing to be aggressive.

I think the cap situation is obviously it's better than it looks with some restructuring and some moving some money around and kicking the can down the road, whatever you need to do.

So, yeah, it is possible.

I always I think you guys have me saying it before.

There's always money in the banana stand.

If they want them, they can find a way.

And I will say this about the Crosby, and this goes for any kind of trade talks.

If the Bears believe they're going to be sticking around for a while, when they're offloading picks, we know this year is going to be a late first-round pick, and they're hoping that any future first-round picks are going to be late picks as well.

So that's part of the calculus.

But, yeah, there's so many things that need to happen to make it work.

So I'm not giving you a great answer, Marshall, but eh.

You know, to quote the philosopher Kevin Garnett, anything is possible.
