Today is Monday, September 23rd. Week three.
Whap! Whap! Whap! Rumbling, stumbling, bumbling. Gonna get them.
Huh? Huh? Huh? Oh! We start in Minnesota where it's time to give this defense their floor as Kamu are you? Kamu? Kamu? Had an interception and C.J. Stroud looked greener than he had in previous weeks as Jonathan added three sacks.
Uncle Sam Darnold beat the Texans like it was the Civil War all over again, throwing four touchdowns on the way to a 3-0 start. The Vikings 34, the Texans 7.
What? What? Down to Nashville, where Malik Dontrell Willis gave the Titans a high leg kick as his fastball was on all Sunday. Rahm Emmanuel Wilson used all his fingers to haul it a touchdown, and Jair Alexander dropped his truck nuts on Will Levis as he scored a super chill pick six.
Brian Tommy Callahan got the brake pads beaten off him, and the Titans fall to 0-3. The Packers 30, the Titans 14.
Sticking in the AFC South where DJ, please sir, I want some more. Held his porridge bowl out, but had to go to bed hungry.
Jonathan Taylor Swift said, I'm feeling 22, as in two touchdowns, as he gashed the Chicago defense in the second half. Unfortunately, a black hole has been created on the Bears' offense as they have Shane Waldron Collider on the sideline where brain cells fired each other at millions of miles per hour and nothing ever happens.
Remember, hey, Teach, remember when Hank thought the world was going to explode?
It did.
The wall-drawn collider?
In 2016, the world ended.
Boom.
The Shane-Wall-drawn collider?
Living in simulation.
Colts 21, Bears 16.
Over to Pittsburgh, where the Steelers looked at the Chargers and said,
Did your defense stop working when Joey Bosa broke down?
You're still here for 30 years.
You can't cover Calvin Austin.
With two sacks on the day, Nick, her big justice, said,
That's a boom!
And another boom!
You're absolutely right, boom.
As Mike Tomlin said, I can't tell you what's in these chicken pakes.
If I did, you might give it a doom!
Doom!
The Steelers 20, Chargers 10.
We head down to New Orleans with our reporter, Delenti on the sidelines, Max. We head over to New Orleans as Eagles fans were asking, Hey Siri, Ani, do you think you'll ever make the right decision on fourth down? No.
That was the left track? That was Siri Ani getting involved We finally had the arrival Of Jalion Carter As he was forcing close encounters With the quarterback all day Are you trying to talk in a British accent Max? Nope, this is just Boom Speaking of which Playboy Derek Carty was seeing plenty of Dean, Dean, Dean, Dean, Dean, Dean, as N'Kobe was flying all over the field. But in the end, it was once again Saquon Tony Starkly that was saying, I am the gridiron man, while carrying the Eagles to their second win.
Eagles 15, Saints 12. That's great, Boom.
Great job, Boom. Out west in the late slate, Dave Canales said, I like sex and candy.
Dalton, as the Panthers' new quarterback, had a throwback performance shooting the red rifle to 300 yards and three TDs. Gardner, just for Minshew, died, and I'm not talking about his beard, as the Raiders offense sputtered all day.
Chubba, old mother Hubbard, went to his cupboard to give Dave Tepper a bone. We're not talking about sex, Dave Canales, you freak.
The Panthers won a game. Huh? The Panthers? The Carolina Panthers won a football game.
Panthers 36. The Raiders 22.
Down to Dallas where Kendrick Lamar Jackson said,
Dak, Dak, Dak, Dak, Dak, I'm going to fuck him up.
Dear Jerry's girl, I'm sorry your father's not active inside your world.
See Diddy Lamb looked like his hands were covered with a thousand bottles of lube out there.
And tractor-cito. The Ravens avoided 0-3-0.
Justin Tucker can't kick a field goal. Wears more necklaces than a guido.
Tractor Cito. Got the ball running for the Ravens.
The Ravens 28. The Cowboys 25.
Standing on the corner, Jameis Winston Cuyahoga. So 5 James, you gotta save us.
Cause the Browns are looking like a big anus. Giants 21, Browns 15.
And that was your fastest two minutes. When your home system or appliance breaks down, American Home Shield will help fix or replace the covered item no matter its age visit ahs.com slash listen for 20 off any plan see ahs.com slash contracts for coverage details limitations and exclusions okay week three in the books pft it was a crazy week three i think so the the big picture for me before we get into all games, is Sam Darnold's 3-0, Geno Smith's 3-0.
And more than anything, this start of the 2024 season has just been a red blinking light of coaching matters a lot. Yeah, yeah.
It turns out that Minnesota might have one of the best coaches in the league. Yes.
And I would also put McVay's performance this week right up there too. Kitchen sink, which we'll get to.
But when you look around, and we will get to all of them, but Sam Darnold's playing great ball. Malik Willis is playing great ball.
Justin Fields is playing great ball. What's the difference? Oh, they're coaching.
They have coaching. Coaching.
They've got good coaching. Guys who've been cast off and then coaching now.
All right, so let's hop into it, go through every game. We'll start with the Eagles 15, Saints 12.
Huge win for the Eagles. This is a weird game because the Eagles, on paper, dominated this game.
They moved the ball. I think they outgained them 460 to 219 yards.
They just couldn't put the ball in the end zone couldn't score points pass up field goals uh turnovers but justice was served at the end in the fact that the eagles probably the right side ended up winning with a saquon barkley 65 yard run in a dallas goddard uh what 61 yard catch that brought him down to the goal line so the eagles are now two and one nick sirianni was probably the hottest seat it's ever been at halftime of this game according to our good friend max uh and it felt like everything was crumbling and now they're two and one and they could easily have been three you know and it's like hey we're we're good for a minute i would say that coaching matters a lot and the eagles should have won this game by a lot more than they did correct so i i'm hoping i, I haven't talked to Max about this yet, but I'm hoping that Max doesn't let Sirianni off the hook. Yeah.
He doesn't deserve to be let off the hook. They won the game, and they were the better team in this game, and the Saints offense did not look good.
Yeah, came back down to earth. I think, so going into the fourth quarter, the Saints offense, Derek Carr was 8 for 15 for 59 yards.
They were missing Taysom Hill. They also had an offensive line injury in the first quarter.
But you can't make excuses for that because the Eagles on the other side, no A.J. Brown, lost Devontae Smith to a dirty, dirty play, and then lost Lane Johnson.
So the Eagles were the grittier team. They deserved this win.
And the Saints, maybe we crowned the whole Derek Carr renaissance a little early. I do hope that the streak of no murders in New Orleans continues.
So it hasn't. I got some news about that.
So there have been, it was up to 19. It got up to 19 days.
And so when the Saints were winning football games, there was peace on the streets of New Orleans. Ray Lewis taught us that.
Yeah. That when the NFL is gone, you get this thing called violence.
Yeah. And yeah, City of New Orleans is very happy with their Saints.
They weren't killing each other. But then I looked into it a little bit more.
It actually started the other way. So it's almost like the Saints feed off the city.
And so this was a game where there was a murder i think that happened on either saturday or sunday morning before the game and then the saints lose their first one so it's like if you're a murderer or if you see a murder in the the state of louisiana if you see somebody about to murder someone step in and say sir sir please don't do that you're going to ruin it for the rest of us, and the Saints are going to lose. Sir, do you know about the motion offense the Saints are doing this year? Yes, sir.
Clint Kubiak has changed how Derek Carr is playing. I like to think that Clint Kubiak is just a crime junkie, and he just refreshes the news every morning.
He gets in a bad mood if he sees violence out there. So help Clint out.
This is the Kylie Jenner handing a Pepsi. Instead, you're handing like a play call sheet to the murderer being like,
look at this.
Pre-snap motion.
Think about how excellent Derek Carr's looked in the first couple weeks.
Do you want to ruin that?
He didn't look great today.
That also is credit to the Eagles' defense.
They were flying around.
Looks like maybe the Vic Fangio defense is starting to take hold.
He didn't do the prevent.
Which, by the way, why is that the only time you pronounce it prevent and not prevent? Yeah. Prevent.
Prevent. Yeah, prevent.
Prevent. It's not prevent defense.
It's prevent defense. It's prevent defense, but I don't know.
It's the only time we ever have that weird inflection on it. Yeah.
So, Max, will you let Nick Sirianni off the hook? No, that was a horrible display of coaching from him today. Thank you, good man.
The first one made no sense because I don't... The first what, Max? The first fourth down go for it made zero sense because they would have had to use their last time out.
The risk-reward was to get one shot at the end zone from the 13. With 10 seconds left.
With 10 seconds left. Yeah, it was stupid.
It made whatever. Very dumb.
And then the second one, I think it was just him being stubborn of like, oh, yeah, I know everyone wants me to kick this field goal, but I'm just going to go for it again because I'm Nick Sirianni and I don't really give a fuck what everyone else thinks. So, no, it was really, really, really, really bad coaching from him today.
There's something about Nick Sirianni, I don't really give a fuck what everyone else thinks so no it was really really really really bad really bad coaching from him today there's something about Nick Sirianni too I think it's just all the memes just when he does dumb shit he looks real dumb extra dumb he looks very very dumb right like there's some guys that can go under the radar I mean Dennis Allen's done a lot of dumb shit we don't really even think about it yeah I don't think about Dennis Allen at allianni, it's like he does something dumb, and then you just – and there's also the funny meme culture that started where Nick Sirianni does something dumb, and it's like Nick Sirianni without Shane Steichen. It's a guy standing next to a pizza oven.
Yeah. It's Cooge doing a video.
I also think it's the video of Nick Sirianni being like, I know what I'm fucking doing. Yeah.
That whenever he does something dumb, that gets brought up. It's like, I don't think you do.
It's the one where in the NFC Championship game, maybe, when he looked right in the camera, like got right up to the camera and did the point, that one fucking sucks. Yeah, he's one of those guys when anytime he's absolutely certain about anything, the more confident he is, the more wrong he is.
That's kind of how it boils down with him. And then after the game, Max, what was going on dom big dom was oh well you needed big dom for jalen carter in front of jalen carter right well jalen carter was an absolute beast today yeah he was a game wrecker that was the best game he had he's had as an eagle and he gets a little fired up the saints players are dirty uh i guess he didn't he took that up with the fans yeah he didn't like it.
Yeah. But it's okay.
There's a little bit of fire in our defense. That's fine.
CJ Gardner Johnson was talking all the shit. Would you like to disavow for our good friend Derek Carr? I'm not going to.
I'm going to let CJ. That was a very mean thing that he said.
What did he say to Derek Carr? No, he said afterwards in the locker room, I think it was overheard,
he said, they ain't no contenders, they're pretenders.
They have Derek Carr remember that.
That's hurtful.
That seems mean.
That's very hurtful.
Yeah, no, his postgame was insane.
It was like he just kept talking shit, and then he was like,
give me another one, give me another one.
And he's like, we're the best defense in the league. Front best secondary best d-line best so is he one of those guys that you love having on your team or is he one of those guys that you secretly hate having on a team that you have to pretend to support it's i love it i love it when we're winning he's in the he's in the category of you can't have too many of him correct the the crazies but it's good to have but it's a couple of them.
You got to have one or two to play on the edge. But if you made the whole team out of C.J.
Gardner-Johnson, it would be a real big problem. That would be like the old school Raiders.
So how are you feeling overall? Because that was, like I said, the Eagles kind of dominated that game. It feels like the pressure got fixed a little bit.
They were in the backfield all day. They shut down the run.
Jalen Hurts still a little up and down. Yeah, no, Jalen Hurts was about as up and down as you can have of a game today.
He has 26 turnovers since the start of last year. That leads the league.
But. Is that true? Yeah.
Is that a real stat? Yeah. Sounds insulting.
It's just a stat. Okay.
He's up and down. But he also was 29 for 38 for 311 yards and I think over 100.
The good is great. The good is great with Jalen.
He had two really, really, really, really bad plays, and then the rest of the game he was really good with nothing to work with. When Smith went down, it's literally Dallas Goddard and nobody else.
Johnny Wilson, the six-round pick from Florida State, was a go-to receiver to try and win the game. Which, by the way, fun fact about Johnny Wilson, he's got the biggest wingspan in the history of the NFL.
Yeah, yeah. How did we not know that? That was insane.
I feel like that's a stat we should have been all over. He's massive.
Massive. He is a large human being.
And I saw his arms. He does have like that.
He's got the wimby top of the arm going on where his top arm bone, the humerus maybe, is that what it's called? I don't know. That thing is fucking long.
Yeah, he's a big boy. From what taxes to him.
And that last drive. So you're feeling overall, I mean, two and one.
Two and one. And also your one loss is, I mean, it was an insane loss.
You can't take it back.
This one was also like if the Saints don't pick each other
in that Dallas Goddard long.
But you guys kind of dominated this game.
Yeah, we did.
We dominated the game.
That's a Kellen Moore win right there.
Yeah.
Yeah, yeah.
He crossed the defense up like that.
And Vic Fangio.
Yeah, Vic Fangio.
Fangio was awesome. And you lost Lane Johnson.
We lost everybody. Do we the defense up like that.
And Vic Fangio. Yeah, Vic Fangio.
Vic Fangio was awesome.
And you lost Lane Johnson.
We lost everybody.
Do we know what's going on with Lane?
I don't know.
I think it was concussion, right?
He had a concussion, but apparently he was puking on the sidelines.
So that can't be a good sign.
And Devontae Smith got smoked.
Devontae Smith, also a concussion, which was such a dirty play.
It was very dirty.
Also, Darius Slay got hurt on a dirty play.
What's his name? Kurt. Okay, so this, I think, might be.
You got it. You got this.
I want to say Ryan Kerrigan. No, not Ryan Kerrigan.
Yeah. Kerning.
This might be an example of why having C.D. Gardner-Johnson on your team is not necessarily always a good thing, because he pisses everybody off on the other team so much that they want to take it out on your guys i guess but like we didn't do any they were the ones doing all the
yeah but it was also the saints defense was the one that hurt devontae smith they they probably
don't care about cj gardner johnson correct i think everybody hates cj yeah but no you're right
like the saints were playing very dirty yeah and the one and the guy who hurt devontae smith
allegedly spit on him after he hit him yeah did you see that see that? I did not see that. I didn't, but we should do something about that.
I'm going to trust your recap. We should do something about that.
We should send someone to jail or something. Figure that out.
Who was it? I need you to pronounce the name of the guy that spit on him. Good.
Oh, here it is. Disgusting.
He spit on him i i as the spit videos are always tough to decipher because um you can see a little little loogie right here oh oh yeah he might have is that what that is or is that just a a clip in like the film of the video but you won the game so you don't even have to use this. Like they're lucky.
Saints fans are lucky that the Eagles, you know, Twitter wasn't enacted. If they had lost this game, this would have been a bigger deal.
Yeah, so we got to see what's going on this week. Win's a win.
You're 2-1. But then we got to go to Tampa next week, and if we don't have anybody on offense, it could be a long day.
I do think you should like take uh something away the fact that vic fangio it takes a while for his defense to start working this it usually takes more than two games but this was the first sign of like okay this is starting to work that was the best defensive effort the eagles have had in a long time long time so against a really good offense yeah like yeah which we might have crowned a little too early i mean this week Week three, we came back down to earth on a couple things. Yeah, Cowboys could just stink.
I still think the Saints are good. No, I do too.
I think you beat a very good team today. Yeah, and it was a hard-fought game.
Okay, next up, team that is definitely good, Vikings 34, Texans 7. The Vikings are just good.
Brian Flores, that defense was everywhere. They everywhere uh they made CJ Stroud look bad they he hit two picks I think he got sacked five times though the like the epitome of what uh Brian Flores defense has been doing to other teams was that end of half when the Texans took three consecutive false start penalties.
Yeah.
And then an illegal procedure.
They get so confused.
They don't know.
He'll look like it's cover zero, then it's cover two.
He'll look like it's cover two, it's cover zero.
It's very, very confusing.
It was crazy.
CJ Stroud had...
What he did to CJ Stroud was actually worse than what Brian Flores did to Tua.
Yeah.
He just made him look like dog shit the entire game.
Yeah, the Texans just never got going.
The Vikings defense is very much for real, and we said at the start, but Kevin O'Connell
has Sam Darnold playing great football.
Four touchdowns for Sam Darnold.
It was only one other time has he done that in his career.
It was the first time he's had multiple touchdowns in three straight games, he now is the fourth quarterback uh to start three and oh for the vikings dante culpepper fran tarkenden brett farve and sam donald who would have thought that's quite a quite a list yeah he looks awesome and yeah it's i'm rooting for sam because he kind of well him and baker it's like the 2022 the panthers had one of the best quarterback
rooms in the nfl it turns out yeah and yeah donald's everywhere donald's he's he's having fun and you have to root for a guy like that he seemed like one of those you know he was a dog that had been kept indoors just chained up for a while and now he's actually kevin o'connell has hyperdrive yeah that's what he needed he needed kevin o'connell had to unlock him but it's coaching Like Kevin O'Connell is coaching Sam Darnold to be the best Sam Darnold possible.
And he also was smart enough to bring in Brian Flores and be like, take care of this side of the ball. And I think the Vikings, this isn't a fluke.
I think they're very – and obviously you have a guy like Justin Jefferson who's just a game wrecker. But, yeah, the Vikings look awesome.
And Aaron Jones has been awesome.
He's been awesome.
And they're doing this without Addison,
and they're doing this without TJ Hawkinson too.
Yeah.
So the Vikings could get better on offense.
Yeah.
I think they play the Packers next week,
which will be big for the NFC North.
This was also a wife swap of defensive ends game.
So you had Danielle Hunter, who's now on the Texans, and then you had Greenard, who's now on the Vikings, and Greenard had the much better game. Three sacks.
Three sacks. It was a fun game, and I have to believe in the Vikings now.
The Vikings are fun to watch. Yeah, and the game could have gone different, we should say, if the Texans hadn't fumbled going in.
But I'm just kidding. Don't get mad at me, Vikings fans.
I apologize again for last week. But, yeah, the Vikings are for real.
That defense is just fucking people up. I mean, back-to-back week one, obviously the Giants are kind of a mess, even though they won this week.
But the 49ers and the Texans are two teams that are teams that have super role aspirations and their offenses have a ton of dudes everywhere and brian flores basically put them in his back pocket i really wish they did have a little interaction afterwards i really wish sam darnold had big bro cj stroud yeah come on hey little bro bro bro things are gonna turn around for you listen that was it's tough to follow up that cj stroud to have that performance after that clip well cj stroud had to clarify that he did not intend to big bro caleb he definitely big bro though he's just i mean i guess i understand where cj stroud's coming from because he was so phenomenal last year that you'd be like yeah this is just every single year but today was was kind of a wake up because i i really do think think that was probably the worst C.J. Shrouds looked.
So I've got to imagine that if— One interception was tipped past, but still, they were all over him. I have to imagine that if Malik Willis plays next week for the Panthers, that's going to be the game I finally win betting against the Panthers.
For the Packers, yeah. Yeah.
Yeah, yeah. That will be it? Yeah, that's the one.
Will you confuse him? Flores is going to confuse the fuck out of him. Yeah, but Malik Willis might just be next up.
But that's what I'm saying.
Flores, he has the ability to confuse really good quarterbacks.
I think Malik Willis, though, he might just slay defensive coordinators.
He might be.
It's just the Packers uniform.
It's their organization.
Okay, anything else on this game?
Hank, what did you think about this game?
Good game.
Yeah?
Hard fought, Darnold. Hard? Good game.
Yeah? Hard fought Darnold.
Hard fought.
Stud.
Yeah?
Anything else?
What do you think about C.J. Stroud?
Didn't play well.
Yeah.
Is he no longer him?
No, I don't think one game determines too much.
Is C.J. Stroud washed?
I don't think so.
I think he might be washed.
So what would you rank the game on the Hank-a-ometer? Five out of ten. Five out of ten, okay.
Pretty boring. I mean, Brian Flores, great coach.
What about that Eagles-Saints game on the hankometer? I had the Eagles, Hungry Dog. Okay, so I was happy.
I was pulling my guy, Max. Okay.
All right, next up, we've got the Colts 21, Bears 16. Whew.
I don't really know how to start this other than the fact that I've been taking a lot of shit. Nothing has changed about my opinion about Caleb Williams other than the fact maybe everyone was right that Matt Iberflus is a fucking moron and we should have fired him, which I actually was in favor of,
but when it was clear that they weren't going to,
you kind of had to just fall in line.
But, yeah, that was a very winnable game,
and the Bears didn't win it, and I'm trying to stay positive.
I'm trying to stay positive.
That was like the most winnable game.
Ever.
Ever.
It was a super – on a scale of 1 to 10, I'd say that's a 9. Matt Eberfue is 11 and 26 as a head coach now.
We've seen enough. I'm just so sick of – Caleb Williams, obviously, he's a rookie quarterback.
He's going to be up and down. The turnovers were bad, but he also had some really nice throws.
Threw for 363 yards. I know people are like, oh, the Hail Mary at the end of the first half,
which didn't go in.
That counts too.
Yeah.
He still would have been over 300 yards.
Whatever.
Caleb Williams is not my worry at all.
I know people are going to say he's a bust and all that shit.
He's not my worry.
I swear to God, I'm not worried at all.
I'm worried about the coaching staff just like ruining him in a way that
that makes me worried.
I also think that we're addicted to busting people now. Oh, yeah.
I get it. It's funny.
The earlier you can call a bust, the better. Yeah.
It's LOL bears. Everyone's going to shit on them.
Yeah, you guys love busting people. Yeah, we do.
But I don't. You bust a lot of people.
I'm not worried about Caleb Williams. I swear to God, I'm not.
And I know people are like, you're just making excuses. The Shane Waldron special of that first and goal.
First of all, Matt Iberflus didn't challenge a clear spot to challenge with Cole Komet. They ended up getting the first down, but you were such a fucking pussy.
You basically got bullied out of doing challenges. We didn't want you to not challenge.
We wanted you to not challenge fucking things that you were going to clearly lose so with iberflus it's yes he's a bird brain he's not very smart uh and he mismanages in-game decisions all the time and then you compare him to the other coaches that are in that division right now yes he's in division with dan campbell matt lafleur and joke o'connell it's a joke and if you look at those other three coaches and then and then you look at Ibraflus, it's very glaring that he's probably not the guy to stick around for a long time. He is, and I knew it.
Remember when Hard Knocks came out and I said they're trying to make him look cool to make us forget that he sucks as a coach. And they tried to do that.
He looks cool. Either way, that first and goal, they did a wildcat run.
Ban the fucking wildcat. It hasn't worked since fucking the Dolphins and Ronnie Brown.
Like, stop doing the wildcat. You just take the ball out of your quarterback's hands.
It makes no sense. Even when the Chiefs run it.
And they're one of the most well-coached offensive teams. When they do the wildcat, that's exactly when they're being too cute.
It's crazy. So you went wildcat, waist of a down, run straight up the middle, nothing, run straight up the middle, nothing, and then an option play to the short side of the field when, by the way, it's the end of the first half, so you should probably just take the points because you're not going to get the advantage.
I know they ended up getting the ball back because the Colts are the Colts and they have their own issues, which we'll get but god damn it do i fucking hate these guys shane waldren's a moron so shane shane waldren is he loves all the gadgetry he gets so good none of them work and they're all the very slow developing plays behind the line of scrimmage too where somebody gets tackled for like minus three yards on a jet sweeper and end around it was uh it to watch that. It was a painful game to watch.
They can't run the ball.
It was painful to watch DJ Moore, too,
because DJ Moore, he's got some bad body language in him.
It's not good.
They can't run the ball.
DeAndre Swift should not be the starting running back anymore.
Rojan Johnson or Khalil Herbert.
He can't.
He just has shown that he's not getting any of the yards. I know the offensive line sucks.
He had 1.5 yards per carry this week. He had 1.3 last week.
It's so bad. Against the Colts defense, it couldn't of the yards.
I know the offensive line sucks. He had 1.5 yards per carry this week.
He had 1.3 last week.
It's so bad.
Against the Colts defense, it couldn't stop the run.
It was painful to watch.
Painful to watch.
I have a little fun fact for you.
This is an insult stat at my own expense.
The Bears have run 59.
The Falcons just fumbled.
Of course they did.
That's just the Colts.
I mean, that's just the Chiefs. That's what the Chiefs do.
The Bears have run 59 second down plays. How many of those do you think have turned into first downs? Almost none of them.
Five out of 59. They're the lowest in the NFL by a significant margin.
The Panthers, I think, are like 18%. The Bears are like 6%.
Yeah. It's crazy how bad they are.
As for the Colts, listen, the Colts defense was great. They stood up.
They stopped the run. Anthony Richardson is, I'm not changing anything I said.
I know people will be like, you can't say that after you just said you're not worried about Caleb Williams. I'll say it again.
Caleb Williams was good in college. I don't think Anthony Richardson was.
I watched the whole game. Anthony Richardson tried to give us that game 100 times.
Yeah, he's not a mid-range quarterback. He's not a short-range quarterback.
Long-range. Anthony Richardson is best when you just watch him throw.
Yeah. And I know they won the game, so I can't really criticize.
Like at a pro day, hypoth he would look awesome at a pro day yeah but in an nfl game when you need to manage an offense listen i was one of the biggest anthony richardson fans after week one of this year because i remember watching him last year and he's fun to watch when he runs with the ball he runs super violently which is cool he throws the dick off the ball which is cool too uh but yeah there were a few throws he had today where it was like that that told me right there if you're a colts fan listen to this you remember the interception at the goal line that pass that trust me i've seen a lot of bad quarterback play in my day that should be a play that you should file away as one that's like is he the guy probably not it's it's and it's not even like the interceptions were bad but it's more just there will be a guy standing wide open and he'll throw a 10 10 10 feet over his head yeah maybe he needs to work out before games no time get the arm super super tired yeah so but again i lost the game so i can't i can't criticize too much i just i i feel confident in in in my analysis on anthony richardson but the colts deserve credit they won a-fought game, and the Bears are just... I just fucking hate the guys who are making the decisions so much, and I just...
I want Caleb Williams to... I think he's on the path to being very, very good, but I think that there's a big blinking sign of Shane Waldron and Matt Eberflus.
I've got some cheer-up Big Cat stats for you. Okay.
I'm actually actually surprisingly like this you guys did the hypothetical every time where it's like if Caleb Williams throws for this many yards he did have some insane throws. There was one that, I think the one that got called back where he scrambled and hit Cole Komet on the run was just an insane throw where you see it and you're like, that's it.
Obviously the pick on the sidelines was brutal. Can't have that the strip sack brutal can't have that but that's a rookie quarterback i've seen the parts where i'm like if those other things get cleaned up that's what we got and it's good yeah but go ahead so your cheer up big cat stats yeah uh caleb today has the most passing yards by bears quarterback since 2016 yes that's pretty cool cheer up big cat here's another brian hoyer i believe it was brian hoyer yeah that's sad uh caleb's numbers keep doubling every week his yardages yeah it doubles so he's gonna get infinity he had 93 week one and then week two he had what like a it wasn't quite double this is like 180 yards week two and then week three he has 363 so infinity we're on the way to infinity yeah just wait learn about investing right yes if your money doubles every single day then you could retire at the age of tomorrow i love that i love that also you're gonna get keenan allen back yeah and there's that uh caleb that would help a lot with the middle of the the field also the passing chart looks good he's doing things that quarterbacks don't do.
Caleb also had the first touchdown pass of any rookie quarterback. Yep.
And he had two of them. Yep.
His first one was funny because he threw it to Roma Dunze. Yep.
And then he ran after Roma Dunze because Rome ran off the field with the ball. Yep.
Then there was a big controversy about who gets that ball. Yep.
Is it Caleb Williams' first touchdown pass? It was cute. Or is it Rome's first touchdown reception of all time in the NFL? Yeah.
I think they should do the Solomon riddle, cut the ball in half, and then if one of them says, no, I'd rather see the ball go to the other guy than to see a football cut in half, that's the true owner. I'm down for it.
Rome looked good today. He did look good, yeah.
He looked awesome, so that was very encouraging. And the defense still is awesome.
They get gassed at the end of games because they just have to do so much also just there's a total side that's very niche but our good friend Tom Fornelli he has to stop texting me this is the drive that Caleb Williams does it because I think we're like 0 for 15 now he texted me that again tonight today you gotta believe and it was the strip sack. You got to believe.
Like two seconds later.
You got to believe.
Two seconds later.
It's too early to get negative.
But I am staying more positive than I'm sure.
I'm sure there's people who want me to be very negative,
and there's going to be people who are like,
hey, you're such an idiot.
He's a bust, blah, blah, blah, blah.
I don't think he is.
I just fucking hate this coaching staff, and I'm so sick of it.
Well, Tom's also a White Sox fan, right?
Yeah.
So he's, yeah, he just has to pour all of his optimism into one thing right now. Illinois football is four now.
Hank, would you like to criticize, say anything? You usually like to jump in here. Told you so.
Blah, blah, blah. No, just the coaching.
I mean, they kept him around for a reason. That was a stupid reason.
It was a stupid reason. What was the reason? I wanted Jim Harbaugh.
No one wanted Jim Harbaugh more than me. I was fucking on the, like, standing up saying, bring us Jim Harbaugh.
I don't know what the reason was because the ownership. Honestly, what was the reason? The ownership doesn't want to pay someone to go away, and they also like having people they can control, and Jim Harbaugh would have been a nightmare because he's an alpha and it's so stupid the way they set this up where you brought in a guy and you should have you should have brought in someone who could coach him correctly instead we get dweeber floose and shane waldron and uh i honestly shane waldron is by the way the the end of the line of if you if you like we're around sean mcveigh at any point that's we figured out We figured out what that line is.
I think the Bears' ownership probably just saw Matt Iberflues got a better haircut. And he's really turned around.
He got funked up. He got funked up.
I do like our guy Funk. But yeah, I'm more positive than I think people will probably want me to be.
I'll play to Anthony Richardson. I mean, that's not hard to do.
But imagine if that didn't happen. Yes, I agree.
It's more about how the running game couldn't do anything against the Colts. They haven't been able to do anything all season.
It's a joke. The Colts stink on defense.
It's a joke. So bad.
Painful to watch. That was a painful game.
Who's next week? Rams.'s a who's every I mean every game
every game is a coaching mismatch yeah it's it's in Chicago I'm gonna say the
Rams are one-point favorites oh I think bears are one point there's a favorite
yeah one and a half okay well we'll see what happens that's why they play the
games I'm still I'm still all in on Caleb I just wish Shane Waldron would go
I don't know. okay well we'll see what happens that's why they play the games i'm i'm still i'm still all in on caleb i just wish shane waldron would go away that fucking clip of him shaking against the texans uh all right let's move on giants 21 browns 15 i thought for sure this was going to just be holy shit the giants have completely bottomed out because they fumbled the opening kickoff and then uh Deshaun Watson hit Amari Cooper on the very next play and you said to yourself this is this is going to be one of the worst teams in the league the Giants have the worst vibes in the NFL on kickoffs yeah just real bad bad things happen on opening kickoff opening kickoffs but then uh Daniel Jones played a pretty damn competent game and malik neighbors is the real deal the real deal and uh the giants win this game and it's probably says a lot more about deshaun watson being the worst quarterback starting quarterback in the nfl right now but credit to the giants because if i were on that giant sideline and we fumbled the opening kickoff and then they scored the next play i've been like pack it up pack it up, let's go.
Yeah, so it turns out that the Giants have a new motto for this year. They came up with this this week.
Tell me, tell me. It's fuck it.
Nice. Fuck it is the Giants motto, which I love.
That's perfect. Fuck it.
Fuck it. Let's just beat the Browns today.
Oh, they scored on us after 11 seconds? Fuck it. Let's just go beat them.
And Malik Nabors is the ultimate fuck it guy for Daniel Jones because he can just throw the ball up. And do you see that one catch that Nabors had on the sideline where he took it away from the defender? He's kind of like Travis Hunter.
He has to intercept a lot of passes that are intended for the other team to intercept. And Malik Nabors, if you just throw it near him, he will make a play on it.
Daniel Jones looked good in contrast, but also Deshaun just got beat up today.
He got beat up.
The Giants had eight sacks.
The offensive line for the Browns, I don't know how much you can chalk up to injuries,
how much you can chalk up to losing the offensive line coach,
who's like the best offensive line coach in the NFL
now that Skarnecchi is not around.
But Bill Callahan left to join the Titans to coach with his son,
and the offensive line for the Browns just looks like absolute shit. What about, can we chalk any of it up to rust? Yeah, we could do rust.
Deshaun Watson's rusty. We could do rust.
He needs to clean those pipes out. There's never been anyone rustier in the world.
He's still rusty. He's got lingering rust.
He's still rusty. No, Deshaun Watson's bad.
I don't know what you'd do if you're a Browns fan with Deshaun Watson. I think you just hope that he's like, I don't even know.
Do you get out of the contract? I don't know what you'd do if you're a Browns fan with Deshaun Watson. I think you'd just hope that he's, like, I don't even know.
Did he get out of the contract?
He's implicated with Diddy?
Yeah, that's what you've got to hope for.
If you're Johnny Fanta, you just have to laugh at this point.
We have the clip.
Johnny Fanta, the preeminent Browns fan.
I love this.
It's about a minute and a half.
Another Sunday.
Another backyard.
And what we just
watched was a three-way circus
on Lake Erie.
Two weeks ago, I was ticked off.
Now,
I'm just laughing
because that was comedic.
On the first play,
you recover a fumble. On the second,
you score a touchdown.
You're inside your own building against a team that threw two weeks was one of the worst in the league. And you give up 21 unanswered.
How about those apples? I'd like to be apple picking somewhere in the woods right now. What a joke.
What a joke. First off, your offensive line.
Five turnstiles right now. And I know what being a turnstile is like because when I was an offensive lineman back in high school, quarterbacks feared their lives when they entered the huddle.
That offensive line is not good. So certain quarterbacks overcome a bad offensive line.
This one, he needs everything situationally to be perfect. I am sure all his defenders will be out this week saying how there's no way anybody could function, not even Tom Brady, with this offensive line.
But Tom Brady could because franchise quarterbacks figure out ways around it. The other thought, though, I think we're finding out why Jim Schwartz was available in the first place a little over a year ago.
Because clearly he can't adjust. Danny Dimes is back.
Big Blue's rolling. Giant fans, this is your day.
Make your Sunday sauce. Because right now, I'm eating you-know-what as a fan of this team.
What is eating? Embarrassing. Joke.
I don't get it. This dog is having a lot easier time than I am.
Happy Sunday. Happy Sunday was the best part.
Oh, my God. Happy Sunday.
Yeah. He's like from The Shining or something.
I disagree with him about Deshaun. If there's a knock on Deshaun, he has overcome too much in his past.
Yeah. He's a fans is the best.
He's, he's the best, but yeah, I, I, cause you had last week where we're like, Ooh, maybe the Browns are not as bad as we thought. And they're like, Nope.
Sean Watson's bad. Yeah.
Yeah. Browns.
I ran, uh, tweeted at him afterward and said this mighty little man knows the ball, and if you ever travel to Iran, I will take you to the goat racing championship, and then you can have sex with my wife. I'm guessing that might not be an actual Iranian that's tweeting those things.
Well, I think fans should at least take him up on the offer, at least the goat racing. Yeah, the goat race sounds like a great time.
The goat racing sounds awesome. Yeah yeah now there was a moment in this game that must have driven brown's fans crazy they had an interception that they returned for a touchdown and they had everybody on the team and i counted more than 11 people they had 13 guys doing a choreographed drum line celebration in the end zone and there was a flag on the ground the entire time and they got called back.
Yep. And that's very sad.
You can't, if you do a celebration for a touchdown that scored, that is taken off via penalty, that should be a flag too. Yes.
You should get another 15 yards on that. They emptied the clip on their best celebration for a play that didn't happen.
Yeah. So tough, tough day for the Browns.
And I don't – I mean, good for the Giants. They kind of – because this was – this is – week three feels like the bottoming out week.
If you go 0-3 and you do it in bad fashion, we're going to talk about the Titans, feels like it kind of bottoms out. So, they at least recaptured a little bit of it.
It was like, hey, this season's not fully, fully over. And Malik Nabors is awesome.
Malik Nabors is really, really awesome. He's awesome.
Right now, rookie of the year. And Giants fans also got a massive dub over any Browns fans that have ever talked shit about the Daniel Jones contract.
Yep. You can be like, it's actually not the worst contract in the NFL.
It's not even close. Deshaun Watson will go down as the worst contract ever.
And you know what? Fuck it. What? Fuck it.
Oh, yeah, fuck it. I forgot their new motto.
Fuck it. It's a great motto, isn't it? I was like, what were you going to say? No, just fuck it.
Fuck it. Yeah, fuck it is one of the most versatile things you can say.
Yeah, I don't think you'd say it if you're a really good team, but if you're in the Giants situation, yeah, say fuck it. Yeah, say fuck it.
Just go out there and fuck around and win a couple games. Fuck it.
Why not us? Fuck it. All right, we're watching, by the way, the Chiefs and Falcons game, and the Falcons have fourth and five with four minutes left, and they're definitely not going to get it, and they didn't get it, and it wasn't even close to getting it.
And now the Chiefs are going to just run out the clock and win this game. That's how it happens.
This is it. That's how it happens.
Okay, next up, Steelers, Chargers 10 holy shit this Steelers defense is for real Justin Fields looked awesome goes back to coaching uh which shouldn't be a surprise that the coaching uh for the Bears is not good uh but Justin Fields like this was the first two weeks I think Justin Fields was okay, winning football, didn't get asked to do too much. This one, he threw the ball very well and had a couple running plays.
And it feels like he's kind of rounding into form to being a winning quarterback that's not like, hey, we just got to make sure he doesn't screw up the game. He's now contributing because that was a good team win for the Steelers.
And the interception that had was not his fault yeah his receiver didn't catch it and the charge we should say the Chargers did lose Bosa Alt Slater and Herbert yeah so Chargers are back the Saints or the Steelers defense excuse me uh they have held uh the three opponents they played to a total of 26 points uh there's 23 teams in the NFL who have held their opponents to double that or more. So 26 points, obviously leading the NFL.
They also are the first team in 20 years to allow sub 300 yards on each game and 10 points or less. They are awesome.
Was that also the Steelers? That feels like a Steelers stat, doesn't it? I don't know who it was before. It probably was.
It was either the Steelers or the Ravens. In the second half, the Chargers were held to minus five yards of offense, which is crazy.
And whenever TJ Watt was allowed to rush against Alt, he ate his lunch. In the first half, they were doing a lot of chipping.
They were double-teaming him, and TJ couldn't really get anything going, but then Herbig started to pick it up, too. the Steelers defense is, it's just fucking crazy.
The Steelers defense is basically just going to be all the wins I get for Wisconsin Badgers this year. Yeah.
Because Herbig's a Badger as well and they were awesome. We love Jim Harbaugh.
We love him. I don't know why they started Justin Herbert in this game.
Yeah, he definitely did not look like he should be out there playing. And they play the Chiefs next week, and a high ankle sprain is one of those things where it's just not going to get better overnight.
And you know what's really not going to get better? Is when you have T.J. Watt and Nick Herbig jumping on top of you multiple times in a game.
I feel like that was maybe a mistake. I said this before, so it's not hindsight is 20-20.
I thought maybe just sit him out try to win that game with taylor heineke and uh get get him healthy because this is gonna linger now he's he looked very bad moving around uh and i know he had that quentin johnson scored another touchdown so shout out him he does have hands but it just it looked like he was very injured yeah harbaugh strikes me as a coach that would tell herbert when he's like hey i have a high ankle sprain harbaugh would be like oh yeah i played through that a bunch of times yeah and then just stare at him yeah and be like so what are you gonna do so and so then your choice like yeah i guess i guess you're right coach i'll play yeah and then this happens and yeah he did not look he didn't look comfortable out there they showed a picture of him on the sidelines and you could see swollen through his socks. They had like two different socks.
It was bad. Yeah, it was a bad second half for the Chargers.
I do feel for Chargers fans, though, because you were so excited about this season, and now it's like everyone's hurt again. Yeah, but you're 2-1.
You've got a big game against the Chiefs. As for the Steelers, the Steelers are, I mean, their defense is incredible.
And I do feel like it's Justin Fields' job now.
You can't bench him for Russell Wilson.
You think if Russell Wilson's 100%?
Because we know that they-
You cannot bench a 3-0 quarterback.
They've got a game plan for Justin that features his readiness.
Yeah.
And so if he's ready, I feel like you go with him.
But I could see, I could see Rusty getting the nod. No way.
I could. Not right now.
You're saying next week? I personally would not. There's no way.
Will it happen? I don't know. I don't think Tomlin would do that.
You've got a 3-0 quarterback. Justin Fields is playing better every single week.
You can't do that. You've got to wait until something bad happens and he has a bad game and then maybe make a switch.
But they have a formula. They have a formula that I feel like can beat 90% of the NFL.
Just don't turn the ball over. Yeah.
Run the football when you need to. Don't go on any quick drives.
Don't try to showboat out here. Just get some nice 10, 12 play drives put together.
End up with points. And Calvin Austin is good.
Yeah. That was a revelation today.
Calvin Austin, George Pickens, Friar Muth, run the ball. They're going to play the Colts next week.
You think that defense isn't going to be able to pick off a couple? I think that sounds like a 17-0 victory for the Steelers next week. Anthony Richardson will hit a big one.
He does hit big ones. He does hit big ones.
But yeah, you cannot. You have to keep riding Justin Fields.
This is also the first time Justin Fields has won three straight games in his NFL career. Is it really? Which again is just an insult stat against the Bears, which we deserve.
We deserve that insult stat. He's now 2-0 against Harbaugh.
Yeah. He's the Harbaugh slayer.
He is the Harbaugh slayer. You beat him at Ohio State, right? No.
Wait. I think he did.
What year did we draft Justin Fields? 2020? I'm pretty sure he did. Yeah, you're right.
He did. 2020 is what we drafted him.
So he's got Harbaugh's number. Yeah, he does.
He does. Okay.
Next up. Steelers are fun in an ugly way.
No, I like them. I like the Steelers.
Ugly football is fun. Yeah.
They're playing ugly football in a fun way. And Justin Fields is also fun when he's playing well.
Ugly football is only fun when you win. It is.
But in the past, their offense has been ugly, and they've been winning ugly games that are not fun. Now they're winning ugly games that are fun.
Right. And I think when you have a defense like they have a defense, it's fun.
And this might just also be coming from someone who never has had an offense, but when you get a really good defense, it's fun. Do you know why? Because that way, when you have the ball in offense, you think, maybe we'll score on this, so you got some optimism.
Then when you don't score and your defense is on the field,
you're like, maybe we'll have a pick six here.
Yeah.
Maybe we'll have a fumble here.
Yeah.
It's almost like you got two offenses.
Yeah.
All right.
So the Kirk Cousins is trying for another heroic drive to win this game for the Falcons.
Primetime Kirk.
221 left.
We'll recap that game when it goes final.
Next up, Packers 30, Titans 14. Fucking Malik Willis.
Matt LaFleur is the coach of the year through three weeks. It's insane.
He then, he just, last week was like, okay, we're going to play to Malik Willis' strengths. We're going to run the ball a ton.
This week he's like, hey, you want to see another trick? Malik Willis is really good. I know.
And he was just bombing it it he threw for 202 yards he rushed for 73 coaching matters i don't think it's the same malik willis i think they changed him out with somebody an offensive line helps a lot too he doesn't look like the same player at all the packers just know how to do it they just it's it it drives me insane but it's also it would drive me more insane if i didn't expect it and I expect it, and I did take the Titans today because I didn't expect exactly this. But there's nothing that shocks me when it comes to Packers and their quarterbacks.
I mean, he was throwing great passes today. It was a lot of scheme, don't get me wrong.
And LaFleur, him, and O'Connell, I think those are the two guys that you look at for Coach of the Year so far. But Malikik willis was just making plays yeah he was just throwing seeds he was his running ability is so good it's frustrating to watch as a guy that thought that he knew exactly who malik willis was yep and i uh i miss joe barry so much because jeff halfley seems like he can coach a defense uh the titans that will levis had a good first drive and then we had a will levis where he threw that pick six.
That was tough. But the Packers are now 2-1 without Jordan Love.
They have two wins without Jordan Love. It seems like Jordan Love is going to come back any day now.
Well, they made it seem like he might start this week. Which is not smokescreen.
It was smokescreen. This is also what the Packers are smart.
They're like, hey, we play the Vikings next week, which they're going to be the team, one of the teams that we're fighting for in the division. Why would we start Jordan Love in a game that we think we can win with Malik Willis? And that's what happened.
They won another game that they thought they could win with Malik Willis. You don't think that Will Levis is listening to the show, right? Probably not right now.
He's probably turning it all off. This was the first time turn it off so yeah we'll i'll just say something about will levis his coach said he's our quarterback after the game oh no that's bad that's a bad sign who's their backup uh mason rudolph oh yeah it is it is mason rudolph mason rudolph um we also had the first ever uh guy who stole another guy's job off.
So it was – so Sean Clifford is the backup for the Packers. Yep.
He stole Will Levis' job at Penn State. Will Levis transferred to Kentucky.
Then Will Levis got drafted and stole Malik Willis' job at Tennessee. And then Malik Willis went to the Packers and stole Sean Clifford's job.
That's wild. Wild.
That's wild. That's a full circle of jobs.
It's a full circle. So I think Malik Willis has won all of it.
So who's creating these jobs? Is Malik Willis? I don't know. He's the one who won the job off.
But then Jordan Love is going to steal his job. True.
And then somebody will have to beat Sam Darnold. Whose job did he steal? I don't know.
I guess he stole jj mccarthy's through injury kind of yeah that's no that's concerning uh kind of a cool circle it's a cool circle yeah congrats i am actually i'm happy for malik willis he's always seemed like a good guy in fact that seemed like a great guy that was part of my formula when i was originally figuring out how to bet against malik willis was that all the reports about him when he was getting this starting job in spot duty for Jordan Love was they'd all lead off with talking about what a good human being he was. And that's not what you want to see when evaluating somebody.
But I guess good for him. He's a good dude.
He's playing well. I just – It's an organization win.
I will never financially recover from experiencing Malik Willis
in the 2024 season.
You got to keep going, though.
But I might not have another.
Oh, buddy.
If Brian Flores against Malik Willis,
if you don't think I'm loading up on the Vikings,
you got another thing coming.
What is it?
Martingale strategy?
Everyone who's ever gambled has seen that.
Yeah, if you double.
You just keep doubling.
You keep doubling.
You'll eventually. It doesn't work like that.
Like Caleb Williams passing yards. It doesn't work like that.
Well, this time it might. But this is an organization win.
Just like the Steelers, like we talked about with the Steelers, they're just organizations that do it right and know what they're doing, and they can win games like this, and that's the difference between the haves and the have-nots in the NFL. And also, green bay's got a very good running game yeah their offensive line is good and their defense again jeff halfley looks like he's i know that joe barry i miss him because i know packers fans hated him and i liked him because they always failed their defense always failed them now their defense is good yeah uh okay another one that was a little of a shocker, but not really because maybe the Bucs coming back down to earth.
The Broncos 26, the Bucs 7, Bo Nix, no interceptions. Maybe Sean Payton found a system for him.
Well, as everybody else on the team finally stepped up to Bo Nix's playing ability. But Sean Payton said afterwards, this guy is going to be something.
Which could mean anything. he's already something that could mean anything he is something he's a noun he's an nfl quarterback he's something uh but yeah this was this was maybe we the bucks start was i think they're still a good team but a little too quick to anoint them the best team in the nfc south our good friend steven sheaoffed at me when I said, do you think there's any chance the Broncos can win today? He said, no, this is going to be Bucs 20-6.
It was Broncos 26-7. He also said that Baker Mayfield's touchdown run against the Lions was a franchise-altering run.
Maybe it was, just in the other way. In the other way, yeah.
Yeah, the Bucs look very, very bad today. Bo Nix he he can run with the ball yeah he was pretty quick out there and sean payton i think he i think there is some truth to him knowing the division well okay so here's a fun stat that i wish i had i i didn't bet the i didn't bet this game uh my official pick on all the shows was the broncos but i i didn't bet it i wish i had because here's's a fun stat that bad job by us to not find it on Friday's show.
Sean Payton in regular season games is now 7-0 against Todd Bowles' coach teams, whether he was a coordinator or a head coach. 7-0, Sean Payton scores 29.7 points per games, and he's done it with four different quarterbacks,
Drew Brees, Jameis Winston, Taysom Hill, and Bo Nix.
He owns them in the regular season.
Now, he did lose a playoff game to them,
but still, Sean Payton just knows how to play against Todd Bowles,
and he proved it again today.
I'd say he has his number.
I don't think that the Broncos are a great team.
I don't think that they're even really a good team.
I think that this was just a matchup.
And we talked about it on Friday a little bit
that Baker's getting pressured a lot. Yeah.
Even even in their wins he's getting hit quite a bit and so the broncos defense they kind of did more of the same and were able to shut down the bucks offense pretty good like mike evans stunk today yep uh godwin didn't really do that much today either no that all scored a touchdown but yeah yeah but that but the offense was pretty much shut down yeah they, they got pressured a ton of times. Baker was running for his life, seven sacks.
What was up with Sean Payton in that locker room afterwards? There was smoke. There was a lot of smoke.
He was probably smoking. Yeah, remember the time he smoked the bong? Yeah.
With the kids? Yeah, I remember that. Allegedly.
That was an awesome video. Sean Payton's just for the boys.
Yeah, listen, Sean Payton, you're allowed to smoke whatever you want after a win. Did you see the locker room? It was very smoky in that locker room.
Yeah, it was also very smoky on the field. Was that in Tennessee? Tennessee.
They set off the fireworks in the third quarter for some reason. Yeah, random smoke was happening.
But, yeah, I think this was a correction week for a lot of things and one was the NFC South being like like, Hey, uh, Baker and Derek Carr are the best quarterbacks. They're still very good, but everything kind of came back down to earth a little bit.
Yeah. I don't know if we brought this up on Friday's show, but when it comes to getting Baker under pressure, he had the lowest average time before pressure got to him.
Wow. Across the NFL going into this week.
So it probably got worse this week. Yeah.
They're just hitting him. Yeah.
He, uh, we, by the way, should we pause for this, uh, end of game? We have fourth and one for the Falcons. I don't know why they ran it.
I guess they have their two timeouts. Andy Reid is so demure.
What is the other line of it? Max Demure. Mindful.
Very mindful. He's very mindful in DeMuy.
A migliata. Look at him.
He's so cute. They said on the broadcast tonight that Andy Reid loves watching Tuesday and Wednesday night match-in, and that's how he found Carson Steele.
Yeah, no shit. That's awesome.
Yeah. Just like, no duh.
I love that I'm watching Bowling Green, Ball State, and Andy Reid is also watching that game, eating a cheeseburger, just loving life. That's how it is.
Yeah, days off from football. What am I going to do? Football.
Maction. Maction.
All right, so fourth and inches. What's the play call here? You said that we were going to pause.
Were you actually recording this? No, we're recording this. Yeah, we're going to pause.
Yeah, we usually talk about it. Yeah, fourth and inches.
What's the play call here? You said that we were going to pause. Were you actually recording this? No, we're recording this.
Yeah, we usually talk about it.
Yeah, fourth and inches.
What's the play call here?
My play call is give the fucking ball to Bijan.
I'm going to agree with that.
Bootleg.
Is they going to do a QB sneak?
Touch push.
Nope.
No QB sneak.
Bijan.
Oh, that's so bad.
And nothing.
Why did they do a stretch play?
Game over. That was fucking dog shit.
That fucking sucked. Couldn't have done that last week.
Arthur Smith vindicated. Shut up, man.
And the Chiefs are 3-0. Again.
And they didn't even cover. The fucking Falcons couldn't even cover the spread.
God damn it. Who are they circling on defense here? Oh, yeah, that guy just wasn't touched.
Bad play call. Fuck.
Yeah, I don't know. That's a tough play call.
If you're going to do something outside, dude, just do a play action. It feels like someone will be open, you know? B.J.
Robinson. That's a tough play call like i if you're gonna do something outside dude just do a play action feels like someone would be open you know bj robinson that's that's a tough play to to when you have a stack box fuck yeah it's patrick mahomes man patrick mahomes does it again patrick mahomes he did blow that lead against illinois though yeah he did yeah he threw a bad interception.
Okay.
Yeah, Broncos look good.
Yeah, I actually think that Baker and Sean Payton are the same guy.
Just one's about 40 years older, 30 years older.
Yeah, they kind of got a little shit to them.
They got a lot of shit to them.
Yeah.
But, yeah, this gets Sean.
You know what I predict for next week? I don't know who the Broncos are playing, but Sean Payton's going to be.
Whose line is it anyway? Who are they playing? I don't know who the Broncos are playing, but Sean Payton's going to play. Whose line is it anyway?
Who are they playing?
I don't know.
Hank?
Hank, bring it up.
Find it out.
Hank, what would you give this on the Hank-O-Meter?
They play the Jets.
The Jets, okay.
The Broncos play the Jets?
Where is it?
Jets.
Oh, that reminds me of that Thursday night game.
Oh, no.
That one's looking cocky.
The Blake Bortles Bowl.
I think it's Jets 7. Jets 7.
Jets. Yeah, I like that.
I'll go with you on that. Jets 8.
Okay. Well, my prediction was going to be that Sean Payton feels himself a little bit this week.
Sean Payton off a win, a game no one expected him to win. He's feeling good.
He's going to be feeling himself. He's ready to go.
Yeah. But I'm not saying that it's going to mean that they're going to beat the Jets.
I'm saying it might actually be a bad thing. Yeah.
He's feeling himself too much. He's doing a lot of feeling.
Yeah. Okay.
Hank, what shirt is that? Billy Strings. Oh, you like Billy Strings? You ever talk about him? I mean, I don't talk about him.
You guys bring him up. Is it this shirt, Hank? This is the NFL.
That's the NFL. Oh, you like billy strings you ever talk about him i mean i don't talk about him you guys bring him up is it this shirt hank this is the nfl that's the nfl oh you like football love yeah we do do a whole podcast about it well i don't always love football you do a podcast about billy strings pretty much do i yeah um all right let's take a break before we talk about afternoon games all protein bars generally taste the same but not one bars one made protein bars are actually delicious with Reese's and Hershey's.

Time. Hey, it's Rhea from Tricks in the Office.
It's officially mini skort season, and Abercrombie has the ones to go out in. Their Scarlet Mini is a classic.
It's one of those skirts that fits the outfit vibe for any plans. And I'm excited to style their new Sienna skort.
It's a little more flirty, and it's perfect for a date night. Make plans to go out in Abercrrombie shop their newest arrivals in store and online panthers 36 raiders 22 let's go panthers andy dalton now what i'm about to say is going to feel like a lot of um hate towards bryce young i do not hate bryce young i'm just gonna say some stats and you can decide whether whether Andy Dalton should have been the starter to begin the season or not.
Andy Dalton threw more TDs in the first half than Bryce Young did in the last 10 games, too. He also is the only QB with 300 yards and three TDs this season so far.
The Panthers also broke their streak of 20 straight games without a fourth-quarter lead. They were kicking the shit out of the Raiders, and they were leading in the fourth quarter.
Also, fun fact, Andy Dalton with his three touchdowns today went up to 25th all-time in touchdown passes by a quarterback, surpassing... Who was the 25th? Yes.
It's pretty much an impossible trivia question. Jake Plummer.
Tony Romo. Okay.
So see you, Tony. That's good.
I like that. Yeah, it feels good.
Andy Dalton. Yeah, I was thinking to myself.
It was any other name I wouldn't have brought him up. Why would Big Cat ask me about the 25th because it's Tony? I like that a lot.
Yeah. Andy Dalton looked really good out there.
And we kind of predicted this. We said that if you're the Panthers, the fact that you have not Bryce Young playing quarterback is going to make everybody on the Panthers play a little bit harder.
Yep. Including Jadavion Clowney, who is on the Panthers.
Is he really? Yes. He had a couple sacks.
Respect to Jadavion Clowney, the king of the one-year deal. Yes.
He just keeps bouncing. He's seeing the country.
He's getting to know different cities. He was all over the city he was all over the different scenes he's basically a hobo that goes around playing for shitty football teams it would be great if we had like it came out that jayman cloney was doing like a catch me if you can type of scheme he's trying to that's why he just keeps traveling from city to city he's got like six families yeah good for him uh but andy dalton looked awesome today the panthers looked they looked like a competent football team.
Exceedingly competent. This was an ass-kicking that they handed the Rangers.
So shout out to Andy. And he looks good, too.
Yeah, he does. 37 years old.
Is he really? Playing the Bengals next week. He's the 25th leader in touchdown passes in the NFL.
That's pretty crazy. So we get an Andy Dalton revenge game against the Bengals next week.
Which has happened a couple times. He's 2-1, I think, against the Bengals all time.
But yeah, this was... The Panthers, if you're the GM, who I don't know who the GM is, it's probably just David Tepper.
It's Mrs. Tepper.
Mrs. Tepper.
But she gets overruled by the owner sometimes. You've got to trade Bryce Young right this second.
Because what could happen is David Tepper could be like, hey, maybe this team isn't so bad. Bryce Young, get back in there.
Don't do that. Play with Andy Dalton.
Trade Bryce Young for anything you can right now and just go forward and be like, we made a mistake. We're going to draft a quarterback next year.
Maybe Bryce Young just needs to watch Andy and then he'll get good this was bad for bryce young the fact that andy dalton looked this competent 300 yards three tds and deontay johnson like finally was unlocked he had a 122 nine catches in a touchdown i just want a xavier leggett game so we can hear him in a post game just like talking that awesome accent that he has yeah we need that that's really the worst thing that bryce young has done is taking xavier laguette away from us yes and not getting him anymore any more screen time but yeah bryce young uh i don't know what his trade value is right now but i do know that it's probably not going to get any higher than it is right now yeah he got back in like do you could you see a world where because if he comes back in and he plays well for the panthers then they won't trade him right and i don't i don't think that's even a it's not not really possibility unless him playing well no just playing well true yeah but there's no way i guess his trade value right now is going to be at its highest because after more time people will forget about his college tape yeah so yeah i agree they to trade him. But if you're the Panthers, this is a weird space that you're in where if you win a few games here and there with Andy Dalton, does that really help your future? Not really.
But you also can't play Bryce Young because if you play Bryce Young, then your entire coaching staff is going to be just looked down upon by all the players. Right.
They'll lose the locker room. I mean, I bet on the Panthers today because I was like, this entire team knows that Andy Dalton's a better quarterback.
And they're all going to play a little bit harder knowing that they have a chance to actually win this game. And they were dominant from the beginning.
Yeah. I don't know what you do.
I understand not winning right now, but it's so early to be like tank. You can't tank in week three.
You can tank in week 15. Tanking in week three is just you're poisoning everything about your entire organization, which is already pretty poisoned.
Anything could happen if you're the Panthers. You could in theory make the playoffs.
They'll probably beat the Bears now. I don't know.
Andy Dalton. Revenge game.
He changes the equation. He does.
He's an equation changer. For the Raiders, this was pretty, pretty bad and Antonio Pierce said afterwards that some guys made business decisions today.
I'm going to imagine there's going to be a lot of running yeah raiders practices coming up it's like imagine every disney movie that you've ever watched about a football team what the coach does after loss that's what antonio pierce is gonna do yes there's probably a hill if there's a hill anywhere in las vegas you're gonna have to like climb up to the top you're gonna do steps up to the top of the sphere and back yeah pretty much so it that was um yeah i don't know what you can say about that game other than that was a really bad game for the raiders and you like off of a big win against the ravens and then you come and drop that egg yeah in mark davis's house there was some definitely individuals that made business decisions and will make business decisions going forward as well that's a scary scary quote if you're someone who on the raiders and you weren't giving max effort i'll tell you what if you are a player in the nfl and you hear your coach starting to like lightly delve into cop talk using the word individuals about you that's a bad sign yeah he's talking about you like you're a perp i'd agree yeah i'd agree so uh yeah i don't i the raiders that was that was awful that was that was really really bad at least uh alexander madison keeps scoring touchdowns he does that's cool he does um and the panthers who knows who knows where andy doll can take him probably a loss to the bengals next week but that does you can say no. You can't say no to Andy Dalton.
Can't say no. Their schedule is not hard because they were the worst team last year.
So, I mean, with Andy Dalton, it all starts to look a little bit different. It didn't look great for Thielen, though.
No. That looked like a pretty bad hamstring.
That was an awesome catch, awesome throw. Yep.
But, yeah, shout out to Panthers. If you're a Panthers fan, you get at least one happy.
That wasn't the worst, torturous thing I ever watched. I think someone – actually, I think it might have been Jadavian Clowney who was like, take those bags off your head.
We're coming back home to a parade. Yeah, throw a parade.
Why not? You won a game. So you talked about Antonio Pierce making his team run.
Remember he did that to his high school team, the coach. Yeah.
They were up, what, 63-9 at halftime? Yeah. And they had to run sprints.
And he thought they should have been up more. Yeah.
Yeah. So tough, tough one for the Raiders.
And, yeah, I would not want to be in the Raiders facility when Antonio Pierce walks in the door on Monday morning. No.
All right. Rams 27, 49ers 24, the kitchen sink game.
Yeah. I knew it.
Sean McVay. And the Rams did it.
They had the fake punt. They were running all sorts of weird trick plays.
I told you. Was it Kyron Williams or was it somebody else that threw that pass? Because they threw a hell of a pass.
Kyron, Tutu Atwell. Yeah, Tutu Atwell threw a hell of a pass.
they I don't know I felt it going in that the Rams kitchen sink like Sean McVay is such a good head coach they are down so many guys they're going to find a way and I know it was it looked bad for a little bit there but they end up saving the start of their season with a huge win and Sean McVay's this is why coaches like coaches win games too and that was a coaching masterpiece by Sean McVay yeah and you can't waste the Juwan Jennings game if you're the 49ers yeah because you had you had so good all your guys out uh Iuke doesn't Iuke looks like he could use about three and a half four weeks of football practice turns out missing all training camp does not help when playing football. And so you're missing Christian McCaffrey, Debo, and you're missing Kittle.
Kittle. Not a great formula for the 49ers, but then you look at who the Rams are missing, and they're missing everyone.
Every single person. And you could tell that McVay was pumped to win this game.
Oh, yeah, because this was a line in the sand. Like, this is our season.
If we start 0-3, it's completely over. We got embarrassed last week against the Cardinals.
Give me Sean McVay all day in that. Now, I don't know what's going on with the 49ers.
You could just say, hey, they're very injured. But those are two games.
Like, I know the Vikings game they shouldn't have won, but this game they should have won.
They were up 10 in the fourth quarter, and it was just big play after big play that the Rams were able to make and the 49ers weren't,
and now they're 1-2, which is kind of shocking.
Yeah, no Puka, no Cooper Cup.
Yeah, I have a fun stat for you.
This is more to our – I've said it for many years. I think people are starting to come along with it.
Matthew Stafford, Hall of Famer. Matthew Stafford has 99 total wins in his career as a quarterback.
How many of those wins did he need a game-winning drive to win? It's going to be a lot of them, I think. I'm going to say 60.
No, not 60, but 45. So almost half of his games.
Yeah, almost half of Matthew Stafford's wins have needed Matthew Stafford to have a game-winning drive. Yeah.
He's sixth all-time in game-winning drives and fourth-quarter comebacks. He's the active leader in both right now in the NFL.
He's got 45 game-winning drives, 36 comebacks. It's crazy.
But also you could say that he's just been really shitty in the first two quarters. You could, or he played on shitty teams and he had to carry them.
Yeah. So he's, I mean, Matthew Stafford's an absolute baller when it comes down to late game situations.
You need a big play. I got a question for you, Big Cat.
Yeah. You're a 49ers fan.
Panic button. Where is it? Where is it in your house? Is it on your desk? I'm going to look.
I'm going to look at their schedule. No, they play the Patriots next week.
Okay, yeah, so they're good. They're good.
That's a get right. But I always like to do this.
Like, imagine yourself as a fan of another team and what you would have felt about that team at the start of the year looking at the schedule well you probably had the vikings as a w you probably had this game against the rams as a w because you might have you might have had that but you beat mcfay yeah yeah historically yeah no this is definitely not a good start for them we said it i can't remember who before the season was prisco maybe but they were but they were the number one vibes might be off team because of all the holdouts, because of the fact that they've been right there every single year and they've fallen short and eventually the air has to come out of the balloon. And yeah, that's a bad start.
Yeah, the vibes aren't good, but a lot of it is also because you're missing Christian McCaffrey. Yeah.
That's a pretty big part of it, I would say. Yeah, Jordan Mason, fine player, not Christian McCaffrey.
Yeah. Everyone thought maybe he could be Christian McCaffrey.
He's not Christian McCaffrey. And then, is it too soon to have the Brock Purdy contract discussion? Oh, is this actually a good start for the Niners? Yeah.
Yeah. Because now they could maybe get him for cheaper? What does it matter? I thought he played well today without a lot of weapons.
No, I know, but I'm just saying if they miss the playoffs somehow. He did play well.
No, because here's how it works in the NFL. It doesn't help their case where he plays well without the Stars playing.
True. If you have a quarterback and you plan on that guy being your quarterback and not making a change, then you have to make that quarterback highest paid quarterback in the league yeah that's how it works yeah so like if you have an average guy that you don't plan on moving on from boom now he's super rich that's a fact that's how it works that's how that's how business is done because guess what you got to pay him got to pay him he's got to get one dollar more than dac yeah you think i don't think brock pretty would do.
I don't think he'd play the dollar game. No, I don't think so either.
But also taxes in California. And no one's NFL career is guaranteed.
Yeah. So you want to get that money.
Yeah, we can't do that to Brock Purdy. We can't be like, Brock Purdy, he's such a nice guy.
He should get $10 more than Dak. He's a farm boy.
That's what I would do. He really only needs a couple million.
I'd request $2 more than Dak Prescott. Yeah.
Or just a huge farm. Yeah.
Buy us some land. Yeah, but the Rams, Sean McVay, kitchen sink game.
That's the type of dude he is. He was very pumped up.
You saw how animated he was. Yeah, in the locker room after the game, too.
Yeah. Okay.
Lions 20. The beard's looking good, by the way, for McVay.
Yes. Those PRP injections.
Yeah. Nice job, Sean.
It's not natural, but it doesn't matter. Lions 20, Cardinals 13.
We had the pitch play. Ben Johnson in his bag was awesome.
Perfect. Yeah, it needs to be done more often.
Yeah. I think we told Dan Campbell to do that.
Yeah. So the Lions, this is a weird game because the Lions dominated the first half.
Jared Goff was, I think he had a perfect passer rating in the first half. Looked like they were going to score a million points.
They kind of stalled out in the second half. Well, wait, wait.
At the end of the first half, there was a big play that happened. So there was, I believe it was either a pick six.
I think it was a pick six that Jared Goff threw. Yes.
That got called back. Yeah, two-minute warning.
Because it was the two-minute warning. And according to many screenshots that I've seen, I have not gone back and watched the full videos, but screenshots from the opposing fan base are good enough for me in a court of law.
And Cardinals fans have the clock at two minutes and one second when the ball was snapped. And the refs blow it dead.
That could have been a big play right there. could have been a huge play yes that was a huge play uh but yeah the the uh lions looked incredible in the first half then they their offense kind of stalled out but their defense was playing great kyler murray it felt like the cardinals the entire second half the first half i think we all sat down and like this is gonna rock these two offenses look like they're humming it's perfect it's gonna be so much fun to watch.
And then the off the second half, I think we all sat down and we're like, this is going to rock. These two offenses look like they're humming.
It's perfect. It's going to be so much fun to watch.
And then the second half was essentially Lions get a couple first downs punt. Cardinals get the ball, take three deep shots punt.
Yeah. And then they just did that the whole second half.
Yeah. And it was also a Jack Fox legacy game for the Lions.
Did he go off? Jack Fox went off. AWL, punter for the Lions.
He had five punts, four inside the 20, and a long of 68 on the other. Big game by the punter.
Punt to win sometimes. Beast, yeah.
The Cardinals offense essentially was deep shots that didn't work because last week Kyler was 5-for-5 on them. This week he was 1-for-7.
And you could tell. They doubled Marvin Harrison after he scored his touchdown.
I feel like this was more Lions defense, and the Lions also got back to basics of just pounding the rock because Montgomery and Gibbs both had over 80 yards. I'd say best running back tandem in the NFL.
Who would be up there? I don't know who else. Braylon Allen? Brees Hall? I saw memes look up at me.
Yeah, they're pretty good. They're pretty good.
What about Izzy? Three-headed monster. I'm sure he'll be cut soon.
Oh, will he? Yeah. I don't think there's...
Yeah, I mean, I think it's pretty clear. Yeah, and also the Lions, yeah, they might not be scoring
like crazy amounts of points like they have in the past.
Their defense is one of the best in the entire NFL.
Yeah, their offenses looked clunky.
It's looked good at times, and then at other times just stalls out,
which I think they'll fix.
But this was more they got back to their basics of running the ball,
and I thought they were going to do that in this game.
And it's got to feel good to get back on track after that weird game against the box i think they're also missing josh reynolds yes i said it before the season i was like he's the one piece that he was a big piece of their offense that you now are expecting jameson williams to to step up and he's a different receiver than josh reynolds but that josh reynolds was an unheralded guy he was like the the 14-yard guy. Very important.
Mr. 14 yards.
Yeah, and Laporta got banged up, which didn't help. Yeah.
But yeah, Lions look good. Speaking of which, so next game, the Lions, so the Seahawks 24, Dolphins 3.
I didn't have a lot on this game because it was pretty much over the minute the DK scored that long touchdown, and I am getting very close to buying in on the Seahawks. I am very excited for Monday Night Football next week when the Seahawks play the Lions because that will be the test.
Because I was thinking about it. Mike McDonald seems to be a very good head coach in three games.
He was obviously great with the Ravens last year. The Seahawks offense has moments where it looks awesome, has had moments where you know got safety a billion times against the Broncos uh was in a like rock fight with the the Patriots into overtime so it's there it's just got to be ironed out their defense I think is for real I need to see it against the Lions because they easily beat Skylar Thompson they Brissett and they beat Bo Nix in his first start.
Also Tim Boyle and Tim Boyle.
So I want to see it,
but I'm,
I'm dangerously close to believing in the Seahawks.
I think that they're a very well coached team.
Yeah.
You can just tell sometimes,
but again,
they do the small stuff against bad guys.
Thompson,
Jacoby Brissett and Bo Nix,
which you play who you would play.
Yep.
But they seem to be,
they seem to be run in a competent manner. I'm, I'm very close to buying in on them.
I haven't seen anything that McDonald's done that has made me go, what the fuck is this? What's this guy doing? Yeah. He seems to be in control at all times on the sidelines.
Yeah, and he's made adjustments. Even that first half against the Broncos week one, they came out and there were lights out in the second half.
But yeah, I'm going to say the Seahawks-Lions game is going gonna be the winner of that game i'm gonna be like okay they're they're ready for a deep deep run yeah now if you're the dolphins how quickly do you make a call about russ we got tyler huntley uh tannahill he's out tyler huntley's already signed yeah but tannahill's out there tannahill's out there i don't think youhill. He knows how to get to the stadium.
Yeah. The Dolphins are going to end up being the bummer team of the year because I don't even know what – I mean, if we did the Colin Coward analogy, you have a Lamborghini and a five-year-old is driving it.
Yeah. With no offense to our guy Skylar Thompson, but yeah.
Skylar Thompson is not ready for that type of horsepower. He's a Power Wheels kind of guy.
Yeah. He's got the Lamborghini, but it's Power Wheels.
He's not ready for that type of horsepower. Tim Boyle was actually, he came in in relief and wasn't that bad.
I like Tim Boyle. Yeah.
I do. I think Tim Boyle might be the best third string quarterback in the NFL.
He's been on like eight teams in the last three years i like any guy who can somehow stick around eight teams in three years yeah it is a skill set i gotta look it up being a second string quarterback is that's its own skill set compared to being a starter being like a career backup but if you're tim boyle who has been the backup backup on so many different teams that just means means you're probably a cool guy. Yeah.
All right. So I was wrong a little bit.
He's been on six different teams. He went Packers, Lions, Bears, Jets, Texans, Dolphins.
Yeah. I like Tim Boyle.
He finds a way to stick around. He's finding a way to stick around.
I also feel like Tim Boyle, he matches the skill set of a lot of backup quarterbacks pretty well. So like going from second string to third string with Tim Boyle, you're not having to change your offense around.
Yeah, he's also just the prototypical backup quarterback. In demeanor, look, everything.
Tim Boyle. Tim Boyle.
He's almost like an AI version of a backup quarterback. But you're right.
The Dolphins bummed me out big time. Big time.
Big time right now.
Because you know that they could be fun.
They could be so much fun. And this could have been a fun game.
And it's just, you know, maybe this is a credit to Tua if the Dolphins keep going. We said it on Friday.
the minute that the Dolphins
coach and then some of the players
saying Skylar Thompson
is a different guy this time around you knew it wasn't true he's a different man he's run our plays in a walkthrough setting probably more than anybody on our team it's just not true if you have to say he's a different guy this time around chances are he's probably it's almost like a guy trying to get a second chance after cheating on his significant other. Like, I'm a different man.
No, you aren't. Probably not.
I'll write a book about it. Yeah.
Trust me. Probably not.
But that was actually a quote from McDaniel. He said that he's run our plays in a walkthrough setting probably more than anybody on our team.
Yeah. But correct me if I'm wrong.
The Dolphins have a lot of speed that doesn't really translate at all to a walkthrough. Correct.
Yeah. Yeah.
Again, that's having a Lambo. And he basically, yeah, he had a Lambo, and he was driving it in like a 15-mile-an-hour school zone.
So I had the under in this game, so I went 1-1. What are the standings for everybody else? Oh, I think I had a bad week.
I think I had a bad week. I was one and one.
I got a bad week.
Panthers.
I lost to Rams, and I got the under tonight in Washington, Cincinnati, 47.
Okay.
I think I had a bad week.
Big Cat over.
Yeah.
Atlanta plus three and a half.
Atlanta plus three and a half.
L.
Get ready to learn bachelor party.
No, you were in first, though. No, I wasn't.
I was in second, tied with everyone. It's early.
It's early. Bad week, though.
Turns out a lot of our fans are getting married. Yeah.
I was shocked. Main card.
Yeah. It's going to be fun for whoever loses, but not really.
The picking, I don't know how it's going to happen. Yeah, it's going to be quite a...
I'm not looking. We've gotten thousands.
People keep sending everything. Tens of thousands, maybe.
No one's looking until months from now. Yeah.
Months. Months.
So stop sending. Yeah, it's not even going to get eyes on it right now.
It's going to be like a holy shit. Me and my 14 buddies are going to X place for a bachelor party.
Like, no, that's not. No one's going to look at it.
Yeah. We'll have to make.
We'll have to do like almost a dating show to figure out who we're compatible with. Got to find the chillest bro.
Yeah. Yeah.
Or maybe the least chill bros. The winners should get the pick.
I agree with that.
Oh, man.
I agree with that.
I agree with that.
It's a good take.
What was your record this week?
I'm 0-1 right now.
Okay.
Just making sure.
First place gets to choose.
First place gets to choose?
Okay.
That's fine.
That's going to be fucked up if someone fucks someone. How could you fuck someone? I don't know.
What would you want to hear? Depends on where the bachelor party is. Has to be in the U.S.
Has to be in the U.S. Has to be in the U.S.
Has to be in the U.S. I like that.
So Hawaii. Yeah.
Can't have someone. So Hawaii.
Hawaii's in play.
Anchorage.
Alaska.
Yeah.
I'm not going to
any of those places.
Who does their
bachelor party in Hawaii?
That'd be crazy.
It'd be fine.
It'd be fine.
Hawaii.
It's crazy expensive.
Maui Invitational.
Maui Invitational.
Maui Invitational.
That'd be a sick
bachelor party.
That would be.
You've said that before? I've said that before. Interesting.
Interesting. Okay.
Last game, Ravens-Cowboys. Ravens 28, Cowboys 25.
Do the Cowboys stink? They might. I think their defense stinks.
So, Cowboys' last three home games, they've given up 143 yards rushing,
190 yards rushing, 274 yards rushing today.
That's going back to the Packers loss in the playoffs.
They have given up in their last three home games in 11 first half possessions,
10 touchdowns.
Yeah, obviously one of those was against the Packers in the playoffs, and the Packers just kind of do that to the Cowboys in the playoffs all the time but the games against the Saints and the Ravens their defense Mike Zimmer has looked like he's lost on the sidelines which somehow he's also still he's only coached really indoors and he's always sunburned yeah I don't know what's going on with that but the Ravens just had their way with with them in the first half ran all over all over them uh and then in the second half the ravens did what the ravens kind of sometimes do which is give up leads yeah they get hit by a blue shell in mario kart yeah and and it almost happened it felt like it was going to happen for a little bit today it did it did i mean the ravens good for them for winning they needed to win bad they could not start on three so bad yeah and they came out like a team that needed to win the cowboys came out like a team that they think they're just really good and they're not on defense anymore i can't believe we didn't bring the stat up bad job by us lamar jackson now 21 and 1 against the nfc oh wow yeah he kills them he kills the nfc absolutely kills them uh hard to game plan for him We also had a passing of the torch in this game. We've talked about it, but Justin Tucker missing a 46-yarder and Brandon Aubrey making a 65-yarder, I think it's official.
Washed. Yeah, Brandon Aubrey's the new goat.
His 65-yarder, it was so casual, too. So casual.
It would have been good from 66. Easily.
Yeah. He's got a fucking howitzer on his leg.
Do we think, Jerry, what do we think the vibe is with Jerry?
Is he freaking out?
Is he looking up penis length for any players that are coming out next to his draft?
That video did drop.
I don't know when it was taken, but it was him and Jamie Foxx,
and he was just talking about his players' penis sizes.
Well, the most shocking part to me about that video, I think he was talking about Deuce Van who's their running back yeah he said he's five eight and a half with an eight and a half inch long dick which that's weird for a lot of reasons a lot of reasons for your team owner to say that i think it's also weird because like eight and a half inches that's a great dick that's outstanding but incredible dick one of the best dicks but if if you're jerry Jones, I wouldn't imagine that eight and a half inches, that's a great dick. That's an outstanding dick.
Incredible dick. One of the best dicks.
But if you're Jerry Jones, I wouldn't imagine that eight and a half is blowing your mind. If you've been in locker rooms your entire life, is that noteworthily? It probably looks bigger on dudes.
Yeah, no, that's totally in relation. Big dick over here.
No, I'm saying eight and a half inch dicks and big dick? I'm not saying if I were hanging out with you guys, oh, you guys see this guy it's eight and a half inches no like i would i would reserve that for like this dude's got a foot long cock you've lost me a little yeah i'm saying bringing up eight and a half inches long cock no i'm not i'm not saying that i'm saying for as many dicks as jerry jones has seen in these locker rooms because apparently he takes notice of these things for him to like stand stand up and say to jamie fox like this guy's dick is eight and a half inches long that i would notable size i think that's notable no matter what it's a it's an outstanding penis i think that's notable no matter what but i don't think there's a lot i don't think you're bragging about i don't think they make them much bigger than that but if you're can brag about an 8 1⁄2 inch dick. Well, okay.
What?
Do you think that he's seen it full mast?
Now, if it's 8 1⁄2 inches flaccid, that's noteworthy.
Probably not.
That's noteworthy.
Well, I would imagine that's how he's seen it.
And I do think that no matter what, 8 1⁄2 inches is very big.
Oh, I'm not saying it's not.
But you're saying Jerry Jones shouldn't be impressed by it?
No, I'm saying Jerry Jones, it's weird that he brought that up to just Jamie Foxx. Well, yeah, of course.
That's the whole point of the video is it's weird. Yeah, it's very weird.
Right. That's the video.
It's like Jerry Jones is a weirdo. Yes, we agree on that.
I don't know where we got lost. Okay, where we got lost is that I'm thinking that Jerry Jones has seen way bigger.
And so for him to just drop that. Again, I think 8 1⁄2, that's big no matter what.
I agree with you. I feel like you're not impressed by 8 1⁄2 inches.
Yeah, yeah, yeah. I feel like you must have taken a lot bigger.
Hog reveal? I'm impressed. Yeah, 5'8 1⁄2 inches.
How much do you think I could get for a hog reveal? Probably like 40, 50 bucks. Way more.
Way, way, way, way more. Good for the Ravens.
Should we talk the Chiefs won another game? I can't believe they called that stretch play. Yeah, that was a boneheaded play.
That sucked. That sucked.
I That sucked The Falcons felt like a team of destiny Going into this game On Arthur Blanknight nonetheless And they could have won that game so easily But the Chiefs just do it They just find ways to do it And they just win games like this And the Falcons had two chances Because they got stopped at the goal line too. God damn.
That's a bummer. Falcons could have been very fun.
Yeah. We saw Carson Steele and Crocky J make his return.
Yep. Crocky J had the rubber band around his mouth, and it looked like he was doing an Andy Reid impression.
Yeah. I thought it was – you remember like baby Andy Reid? Yes.
I thought this was just like reptile Andy Reid that they were showing.
Croccy J. Croccy J, who's an alligator, by the way, not a crocodile.
Yep. The Chiefs, they just seem like if you have a close game against them, they're going to win every time.
Every time. Every single time.
I said it at halftime. I was like, this is a game the Chiefs are going to end up winning, even though the Falcons have looked a little bit better.
And it's not even the worst part about the Chiefs. and
I've been saying
for a while now, Chiefs fans need to just embrace the fact that they are like the Death Star and they can't do the, well, we had a bunch of bad years and all that stuff. You guys just embrace it.
It feels like Chiefs haven't even played an A-plus game. They haven't.
And that's the most disappointing part is that they have not played an A-plus game and they're 3-0. And they were playing these types of games last year and they were losing those.
Yeah. And everyone's like, oh, what's wrong with the Chiefs? Yeah.
The Chiefs won a Super Bowl without an A-plus team. Yeah.
And now they have what seems like closer to an A-plus team and they're like, well'll just do like b-minus games for a while yeah their defense is very good uh but yeah chiefs 3-0 i don't falcons are fun i should say that falcons have have escaped whatever it was we watched the last five years and they're officially back to being a fun team i think the falcons will be just fine yeah they have a big they they do the uh nfc south gauntlet coming up next three weeks saints bucks and panthers yeah i don't think that kirk didn't look bad tonight he had a couple real real bad throws but overall i think that kirk is good enough for you to be very optimistic about yourself if you're the falcons that one uh ending of the half was kind of what screwed them a little bit too because they had Bijan kick the ball out of bounds, which I love whenever they do the illegal touching, and then Kirk fumbled a snap, and then the Chiefs were able to get a field goal. And that's how the Chiefs win those type of games where if you make one single mistake, like, okay, we'll just go get points out of this.
When Kirk batted the ball forward off the snap, does that count as a pass or is that a running play? They said it counted as a pass. Okay, it's a dime.
Yeah. Okay, PFT, why don't you do a couple ads and then we will talk some Monday night and who's back of the week.

Thank you. jeans from mugsy 10 bucks off and be entered to win the best weekend trip ever to the best pro shop pyramid hotel it's actually a really really sweet hotel check it out mugsy.com okay monday night football uh pft would you like to give your thoughts you're going to the game i'm gonna be in the barn yes uh i've been promised numerous numerous skyline chilies i've been uh requested to go to mass have you heard of bengal's mass oh yes i've seen the videos it's pretty awesome is it cool is it just church am i going to church yeah a guy comes they have a big uh speaker it's in the tailgate lot it's pretty cool okay so yeah we'll see what happens there but um my diagnosis is that the bengals are dangerous team right now they're dangerous they're wounded they need a win they're a wounded animal they need a win in years past, I'm not saying this with Jaden, but in years past, in the pre-Jaden era, this is a game that the Commanders would lose by 35 points.
Yeah. And it would be like the most embarrassing night of the year for me.
But the good news is there's two Monday Night Football games going on at the same time. So it won't be like the nation's eyes upon me if it's very embarrassing.
But again, this is all pre-Jayden. Now Jayden and Dan Quinn, everything's different.
We recalibrated. So I don't know.
I don't know what's going to happen, but the Bengals can't start 0-3. I agree with you there.
I think you got a bad draw going up against a Bengals team that desperately needs a win. I wish they'd beat the Chiefs last week.
I know. It feels like they got their mojo back a little bit last week.
Yeah. I think T.
Higgins is going to play. That's what I heard.
So they're going to have their full arsenal. We got a really good secondary, Big Cat.
Yeah. Also a really good defensive coordinator going up against a rookie quarterback.
Feels like a tough task, but hey, that's why they play the game. I do think we'll be able to run the ball.
Okay. But ideally, if you want to run the ball, you can't be getting your teeth kicked in at that point.
Yeah. As for the other game, everything tells me the Bills should win this game.
And then I just am like, hey, it's the 2024 NFL season. And it feels like every single time we've gotten to a spot where there's a team between four and seven point underdog.
They just went out. Right.
Is it some big scheme about the NFL to make all the bills, Florida games played at night? I don't know. Maybe taking the sun out of the equation.
Yeah. I just, well, this one's in Buffalo.
Okay. Well, there you go.
Yeah. So this is a big, nfl back at it again i just i do you know do you feel the same vibe like the bills should win this game and that's why i would probably take the the jaguars because it's like it's like that's just what's been happening to me it's like they're oh and two they looked like absolute dog shit of course they'll come out and look awesome to me it's like they're also very dangerous right now because they're hungry dogs hungry dogs run fast it's literally the night of wounded cats yeah yeah so i i wouldn't be shocked if the jags pulled it off yeah i wouldn't be shocked either uh okay cap it you're gonna do the cap at you gotta you gotta there's two money lines you gotta do are you going to watch both games, one TV guy? I have no.
I have a TV in my kitchen and a TV in my living room, so I can just kind of. So where are you going to stand? In your hallway? I'll pace around.
Your pace? Maybe you should get like a ball of yarn. They get a cat pet? I can't get eyes on both, but I can watch one, turn, watch the other one.
So you have a TV set up for a hammerhead shark. Yeah.
Okay, perfect. Which cat are you most confident in? The Jags.
Yeah, doesn't it feel like that? 0 and 2. 0 and 2.
So are the other cats. That's what I'm saying.
I say this, and what I'm going to end up doing is just parlaying the Bills and the Bengals. So just pick one of the underdogs that's going to win outright.
That's guaranteed. Just the hungry cat parlay.
Yeah, it's guaranteed. What are you making that face, Max? Yeah, I just don't think it's going to be the commanders.
Oh. What? Nothing.
Well, we're all saying that. Yeah.
We've all just been saying that. We just said that.
Max, did you hear my game preview? I was like, I hope I'm not was like I hope I'm not embarrassed we've all said that they're going to lose but Jaden Daniels he's so good that's different now everything's different let's do who's back of the week Roback question promo code take 20% off your first purchase polos, hoodies, joggers, shorts Roback question, R-H-O-B-A-C-K.com.

Hank, seems like you don't have a who's back of the week.
No, I did.
I don't want to do it immediately after the Roback question.
Oh, okay. So let's say golf.
No, no, no.
Golf is back.
Yeah, I was going to say, how'd you golf today?
Golf is back.
You golfed on a Sunday?
I golfed.
Well, yeah.
I mean, when he was in town, he wanted to get taken out. It was pouring rain.
I tried to get out of it, and I was like, dude, it's pouring rain. It's going to pour rain all day.
And he was like, I haven't golfed in seven days. I'm down to do it if you do.
So I was like, all right. Got to.
We got to. But you didn't want to do it.
You were basically dragged. Once I got out there, I was happy we did.
We only played eight holes, and then we watched the second half in the clubhouse then we came here so I actually didn't really miss that much football I was four over through eight so it was a good time yeah Whitney texted me I think when you were in the clubhouse watching were you watching all the games or just the Bears game it was just cable so we had the Bears and the Packers on yeah he said not even trying to, this guy sucks. And I just replied, I know you said you were not trying to be mean, but that is, in fact, mean.
So, it was mean. It was mean.
Yeah. But golf was also bad.
Golf was great. I reported on this podcast not too long ago that the President's Cup was sometime in the summer.
Turns out it's this weekend. Yeah.
Like, it just happened? No, it's this upcoming weekend. Oh, no.
I was going to say, I could have totally missed it. Yeah, Max is locked in.
Maxoma. Maxoma.
Yeah. Yeah.
I gave Max a winner on Saturday. No big deal.
Let's go. Yeah.
Dodgers look great, too. Buffalo plus 13.
Dodgers look like a team to fucking beat in the NL. Yeah.
They do. They do.
Real team to beat. Real team to beat.
Real team to beat. How many home runs has he got now? 63.
53. 53.
53. 53.
53 home runs and 53. I think he should go for 60.
I think he should try to go for 60. I don't know if he's thought about it.
Yeah. Like, every time he gets on base, give him the green light.
I just miss playoff baseball. I wish I was involved in playoff baseball.
By the way, shout out CJ Abrams. That was quite a story.
He was out until 8 a.m. gambling in Chicago.
Is that illegal? Well, no, but then he got demoted. He finished gambling at 8 a.m.
and then just immediately got sent down. Apparently, he may have been still under the influence.
Well, yeah, because the Cubs played day games. It was an afternoon game, yeah.
It was a 1.20 first pitch. Was it confirmed he was there all night? Yeah, there was reports that he was there until 8 a.m.
Maybe he woke up early. It was like part of his routine.
Oh, yeah. True.
Good point. Good point.
Yeah.
No, I think he was at the roulette table.
And I saw a picture that was taken from him at the roulette table.
And he was just betting on black.
Like, you would think that if you're staying at the roulette table for a long time, you're spreading the chips around.
You're trying to make it as fun as possible.
Yeah.
Or he's on a heater.
You never know.
He might be.
Yeah. I want to know how much he won.
Yeah.
Because if he won a lot, he could have just said that to his manager. Yeah, then you can't leave.
Yeah. What was the one you wanted to do? Shoving a burrito up your ass.
Yeah, it was mine. Okay, so you can do it.
Yeah. I'll just do it right now.
This is just the trend of college football this year. It started with the FSU guy who didn't eat the poop, but then a K-State fan said that if they lose to BYU, he will shove a five-layer Taco Bell burrito up his ass.
Seems like this guy's actually going to do it. Like, he was making videos like he's going to do it.
What do you mean? I mean, that's not that. You just shove it up there, and then you're like, all right, I did it.
Why don't you think there's any way, Hank? Yeah guess i guess or it's more like is he gonna show that i don't know yeah what platform can he show that on also is it possible i feel like it's just gonna like fall apart right i know that's but that's all you do and then you say yeah leave me alone how many inches is a five layer burrito that's only eight and a half yeah take that like a champ this is just the new this new college football this is the story of college football this year i think if you want to get eight half inches of a five layer burrito up your ass you got to put in the freezer for a little bit yeah that's yeah i think it's a lot of hot sauce a lot of hot sauce yeah but yeah this is uh and he i think he also did it because it was a late night game it's like people won't remember but they got fucking killed killed by BYU. I also think he wanted to do it.
I think he also did it because it was on late night games. He's like, people won't remember, but they got fucking killed.
Killed by BYU. I also think he wanted to do it.
I think so, too. I think that these guys – Now these guys are just like, I think if I say I'm going to do something crazy, I'll just – They need to start doing like KB's been doing it.
I think he said that if the Jets lose by 21 on Monday Night Football against the 49ers to open the season, he was going to go to Punta Cana. Yeah.
Those are the bets you got to do. Could you imagine the horror? No.
Having to go on vacation? No. Yeah, but if BYU was really about that Mormon life, if they saw this bet, they would have not won that game.
Right. No, sir.
We'll save you. Yeah.
Yeah. Don't sodomize yourself, sir.
Yeah, but there was actually... I mean, it's now gotten so far into the culture that BYU was tweeted out, Liv Moss.
Oh, I love that. And there were signs at the game.
So, I mean, I like it. I just...
They gotta start doing them. Yeah, no, we're gonna end up in something horrific happening, but I'm here for it.
I will watch. And I say this as my pinky team just had maybe the win of Sunday against the 49ers.
Oh yeah, I forgot about that. No, I would actually be a little bit nervous about that.
Yeah, I would. No shit.
Because the Rams won this game. And it's Sean McVay.
They've literally proven they can win a Super Bowl. They're going to get healthy? Correct.
Correct. They're going to make the playoffs.
Yeah. Okay yeah uh okay pft what's your who's back my who's back of the week is fall because we're actually officially in fall now yes i feel like we've been there for just whenever football is back on i feel like that's fall yeah that's the real start of it um but yeah we're we're officially in fall and the weather i think in chicago is going to be nice it's going to be football weather I think we're going to get into the 70s, like 50s in the morning.
Yeah, and we also remember- Sweatshirts, Max. It was 85 this week.
See, I know, but it's going to rain, and then it's going to get cool, and we're going to get to wear sweatshirts. Now that fall is officially back this weekend, remember, set your clocks forward.
Yep. Because it is the autumnal equinox.
It's the Saturday after the start of fall.
Yeah.
And today was the first day of fall.
So wait, does that mean that we're going to have to wake up earlier for football?
No, you wake up.
Oh, it's fall back.
Fall back.
Okay, all right.
So we're going to save some time.
Fall back.
All right, that's awesome.
That's coming up this Saturday.
Make sure to set your clocks.
Yeah.
I'm pumped about that.
And also college football was awesome this weekend.
Yeah, it was.
We're going to talk about all of it on Wednesday.
But it was great. I had a great time going to Auburn.
Cool place. Yeah.
Very cool place. That place is...
I was there for Thanksgiving once. It's basically if you just close your eyes and imagine an SEC campus, that's it.
What were you there for? Spend Thanksgiving? Dixie tour. Oh auburn yeah we went hunting that rocks the plains of alabama all the leaves were were orange it was a good vibe the downsides of great and watch football and tailgated yeah i gotta put the el camino in storage that's a summer drive it is i can't have in fall weather.
Yeah. Anything from the booth? Any who's backs? Max, no wedding this weekend? No, this was my bye week.
Hell yes. Season finale is this weekend.
You gotta finish strong. The kisser.

Like, no problem. I'll just do it with you.
We'll get the fuck out of here. You got to give them that option.
This will be the first one that I'm in the party with a friend like i've only been in with my brothers got it so it'll be give them that option it's fun it's it breaks the ice and i don't it's never happened where someone's like yeah let's get out of here but i would do it yeah for the story you should be like let's let's fucking get out of here let's get out of here and we'll just pretend none of this happened have you ever been to a wedding where they do the speak now or forever hold your peace thing? Or is that just in movies? No, they do it
but they just say it and then no one
says anything. I don't think I've ever been at
a wedding where that's actually said.
It would be cool. Yeah.
Can you
imagine if you actually had the goods to break
it up? Actually, the loser of the
picks pool will have the chance to
not
forever hold their peace. Yeah, don't give that shit.
They'll find out the drama at the bachelor party and then they can... Rat on everyone.
