Week two. Let's go, boys. Uh I was thinking about this Shield. For a week one, not a single like major controversy, not a single major quarterback injury. Like I'm taking that just generally speaking as a win.
I like that. You're right. No, unless I'm forgetting something. Now, there was some officiating stuff, but not like that one officiating story that dominated the conversation. We talked about the Jared golf play. That's probably as close as we got to it. And yeah, fingers crossed with the quarterback injuries. It was it, it feels like every year we're having the conversation. Are injuries worse this year than previous years? And it's like, no, it's just a very violent sport. And these guys are putting their bodies on the line. So fingers. Fingers crossed that we get through week two without having too many of those as well. Billy, when you're still
waiting on the Tua information too though, 'cause he may be uh we don't know, uncertain, right? And he's
The the quarterback ones though, I feel like the ones we're dealing with, they're all kind of like, does it matter that much? I mean it matters to Tua. It's his own. I'm not minimizing it. I'm just saying like it's not like, well, Tua's back. That's a game changer for the entire league. We've had way too many Joe Burroughs go down week one type situations. You know what I mean?
Yeah. Well, I mean Tua could get Falcons the number one pick in the draft. So I think they want to get him back out there, wouldn't they? All right, it's a little too far, too fast. Is that is that one of your conspiracies? Did you No.
How much time are you spending, you know, on like the dark web to to piece these together, Billy?
I don't I think conspiracy is an ugly word because I feel like it's associating some of these thoughts with lunacy, which I don't think is the direction these are headed in. You say conspiracy, I'd like to say pre-fact. You know, like these are things that are out there that we may get to the point and then they'll become a fact. And then it's not a conspiracy. We're just early on this. So I feel like this show should take pride in getting to some of these stories early.
I I like that you you've flipped it because there are people who have talked about the post fact political era. You're saying pre-fact, which it's like a pre quill, which I've always thought in general better than a sequel. Maybe maybe maybe I'm off on that. Maybe. Biggest biggest stories. All right. It's the eve of week two, Sheo. What do you got? Biggest, your favorite storyline as we head into week two.
All right, so this is my favorite one every year going into week two. So it's not even unique to this year, but it's like you're looking at all the 0-1 teams and you're getting the stats of wait a minute, how many 0-2 teams have actually made the playoffs? And I got the numbers for you since we moved to a 14-team playoff format. If you're 0-2, you have a 16% chance to make the playoffs. So it's not like you're totally. Totally out of it. Last year, three teams made it. The Panthers, Bears, and Texans, they started out 0-2 and then they still made the playoffs.
