Today is Monday, September 23, week three get him. We start in Minnesota, where it's time to give this defense there. Flores as Camus are you Kamu Camus had an interception and CJ 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 30 start. The Vikings 34, the Texans seven down.

To Nashville, where Malik Dontrell Willis gave the Titans a high leg kick as his fastball was on all Sunday. Rahm Emanuel Wilson used all his fingers to haul at 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 zero three.

The Packers 30, the Titans 14. Stick it 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, well drawn Collider on the sideline, where brain cells fire at 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 end. The wall drawn collider, 2016 the world ended.

Boom. Shane Waldron, 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 Boza 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 bakes. If I did, you might give it a doom.

Doom.

The Steelers 20, chargers ten.

We head down to New Orleans with our reporter Max Delenti on the sidelines. Max, we head over to New Orleans.

As Eagles fans were asking, hey, siri oni, do you think you'll ever make the right decision on fourth down?

No, that was.

That was siri, siri oni getting involved. We finally had the arrival of Jaylen Carter as he was forcing close encounters.

With the quarterback all day. Are you trying to talk in a british accent? No, no, this is just.

This is boom. Boom.

Speaking of which, playboy Derek Carty was seeing plenty of dean, dean, dean, dean.

Dean, dean, as Nakoby 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 twelve.

That's great. Great job. Boom. Out west, in the late slate, Dave Canelo said, I like sex and candy. Dalton is the Panthers new quarterback. Had a throwback performance, shooting the red rifle to 300 yards at three TD's. 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?

Huh?

The Panthers won. The Carolina Panthers world football care. Panthers 36, the Raiders 22.

Down to Dallas, where Kendrick Lamar Jackson.

Said, dak, dak, dak, dak, dak.

I'mma fuck him up. Dear Jerry's girl, I'm sorry your father's not active inside your world. See, diddy Lambda looked like his hands.

Were covered with a thousand bottles of lube out there.

And track Dorcito. The Ravens avoided zero and 30. Justin Tucker can't kick a field goal. Wears more necklaces than Aguido. Tractor Seato.

Got the ball.

Running for the Ravens.

The Ravens 28, the Cowboys 25. Standing on the corner, Jamus Winston. Cuyahoga. Such a fine sight to see.

Azizo. Jew Larry, not a z. I'm sorry.

Has a shot. Cry me two g's. Come on, jamus, you gotta save us. Cause the browns are looking like a big gamers. Giants 21, browns 15, and that was your fastest two minutes brought to you by our friends at Chevy. There's a reason we've never done a Mount Rushmore pickup trucks. And that's because for pardon my take, there's only one pickup truck, the Chevy Silverado. Why is that? Silverado is a partner, a partner you can depend on. We've all spent time driving and using Silverado for all kinds of part of my take, jobs, adventures and other shenanigans. Well, Silverado has been our ride for a cross country trip to the Super bowl. They've been with us for the biggest hole we dug in Ohio. Last grit week. They went out west with us last week or last grit week? This summer we drove the Silverado. They're also presenting sponsor the low man award. Silverado brings the grit, legendary grit paired with modern truck tech inside and out. Massive screens, up to eight cameras with 14 different views to help make driving, towing and parking all easier. We love the bold, blacked out look of the new Silverado HD trail boss.

Discover a world of strength and capability all behind the wheel of our favorite truck, the Chevy Silverado. Okay, week three in the books. Pft. It was a crazy week three, I think. So the big picture for me before we get into all the games is Sam Donald's 30, Gino Smith's 30, 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 of the league.

Yes.

And I would also put McVeigh's performance this week right up there, too.

Kitchen sink lab. But when you look around, and we will get to all of them, but, like, Sam Darnold's playing great ball, Malik Willis is playing great ball, Justin Fields is playing great ball. What's the difference? 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 twelve. Huge win for the Eagles. This is a weird game because the Eagles, on paper dominated this game. They moved the ball. They had, I think they were, they out gained them 460 to 219 yards. They just couldn't put the ball in the end zone, couldn't score points, pass up field goals, 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, what? 60 1 yd 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, and it felt like everything was crumbling, and now they're two and one, and they could easily have been three and o, 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'm hoping, 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 left 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 eight of 15 for 59 yards. They were missing taste and Hill. They also had an offensive line injury in the first quarter, but doesn't, can't make excuses for that because the Eagles on the other side, no, AJ Brown lost Devante Smith to a dirty, dirty play and then lost Lane Johnson. So the Eagles were the grittier team. They deserve this win. And the Saints, maybe we crowned the whole, like, 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, I got some news about that. So there have been, it was up to 19 days. 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 was 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.

Ah.

And so chicken in the end, 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 gonna ruin it for the rest of us, and the saints are gonna lose.

Sir, sir, do you know about the motion offense the saints are doing this year?

Yes, sir.

Kubiak has changed how Derek Carr is playing.

I like to think that Clint Kubiak is just a crime junkie and he just refreshes like, the news every morning. Yeah, he gets in a bad mood if he sees violence out there. This is 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. Think about that motion.

Think about how excellent Derek Carr looked in the first couple of weeks. You want to ruin that?

He didn't look great today. That also is credited 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?

Prevent. Yeah, prevent.

Prevent.

Yeah, prevent.

Prevent. It's not. 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 prevent inflection on it.

Yeah. Yeah. So, Max, will you let Nick Sirianni off the hook? No.

That was a horrible display of coaching from him today. Thank you, sense, because I don't.

Wait, the first what, Max?

The first 4th 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. From the 13 with 10 seconds left. 10 seconds left.

Yeah, it was stupid.

It was. 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 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 all.

But Nick Sirianni, 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 stiking. It's a guy like standing next to a pizza oven.

Yeah.

It's cough I 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, it's also think you do.

It's the one where in the NFC championship game maybe when he looks right in the camera, like got right up to the camera.

Yeah.

And did, 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.

Yeah.

That's kind of how it boils down with him. And then after the game, Max, what was going on with Big Dom? Big Dom was, oh, well, you need.

A big Dom for Jalen Carter.

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. 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.

Yeah.

Was talking all the shit.

Would you like to disavow for our good friend Derek Carr? Guess I'm not going to guess I'm.

Going to let CJ.

That was a very mean thing that he said. What do you say to Derek? No, no. He said afterwards in the locker room, I think was overheard. He said, they ain't no contenders, they're pretenders. They have Derek Carr. Remember that?

Mmm.

That hurt. That's hurtful.

That seems me.

That's very hurtful.

Yeah, no, his postgame was insane. Like he, it was like he just kept talking shit and then he was like, give me another one. Give me another one. And it's like we're the best defense in the league. Front seven, 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?

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 like the craziest.

But it's good to have. But it's good to have a couple.

You gotta have one or two to play on the edge. But if you have like a, but if the whole team, if you made the whole team out of Jay, Gardner, Johnson, it'd be a real big problem.

That'd be like the old school Raiders.

So how are you feeling overall? Because that, that was, like I said, the, the Eagles kind of dominated that game. It feels like the, 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's 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 he also, what.

Was 29 for 38 for 311 yards and. Yeah, I think over 100.

The good is. The good is great. The good is great.

Like, he had a good, 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. Like when agent, when smith went down, it's literally Dallas Goddard and nobody else like Johnny Wilson, the six round pick from Florida State was like 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. We not know that.

That was insane.

I feel like that's a stat we should have been all over.

He's massive, is a large human, and.

I saw his arms. He does have like that. He's got the wimpy top of the arm going on where his like, top arm bone, wherever. The humerus maybe. Is that what it's called? That thing is fucking long.

Yeah, he's these big boys and that last drive.

So how you're feeling overall? I mean, two and one. And also your one loss is, I mean, it was an insane loss. You can't take it back.

One was also like, if the Saints don't pick. If it's not a. If the Saints don't pick each other in that. Dallas got a long, but you guys.

Kind of dominate this. Yeah, we did.

We donated the game.

That's Kellen Moore win right there.

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.

Cross the defense and big bang.

Yeah.

Victoria was awesome.

And you, you lost Lane Johnson.

We lost everybody.

Do we know what's going on with.

Lane concussion, but apparently he was puking on the sideline.

Yeah.

So that can't be a good, good sign.

And Devante Smith got Devontae Smith also.

A concussion, which is, was such a.

Dirty play is very.

Also, Darius Slay got hurt on a dirty play.

The.

What's his name.

Okay, so this, I think you got it.

You got this.

I want to say, Carrie, Ryan Kerrigan.

No, not Ryan Kerrigan.

Yeah.

Kerning, this might be an example of why having CD 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 dirty players.

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?

I didn't, I didn't. But we should do something about that.

I'm going to trust your.

We should do something about that. We should send someone to jail or something. Figure that out.

Who is it? Who? 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. The spit videos are always tough to decipher cuz you can see a little.

Little loogie right here.

Oh, yeah, he might have.

Is that what that is or is that just 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, it would have. This would have been a bigger deal.

Yeah. So we got to see what's going on this week.

Wins a win. You're two and one.

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 something away in the fact that Vic Fangio, it takes a while for his defense to start working. This 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, three is we, we came back down to earth on a couple things.

Cowboys could just stink.

I still think the Saints are good. No, 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 seven. The Vikings are just good. Brian Flores, that defense was everywhere. They made CJ Shroud look bad. They, he had two picks. I think he got sacked five times, though. The, like, the epitome of what Brian Floor's 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, 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, and it was crazy. CJ Stroud had that. What he did to CJ stroud was actually worse than what Brian Flores did to tua.

Yeah.

He just, he just made him look like dog shit the entire game.

Yeah. The Texans just never got going. The Vikings defense is very much real. And we said at the start, but Kevin O'Connell has Sam Darnold playing great football. Four touchdowns for Sam Darnold. It was the only, 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. And he now is the fourth quarterback to start three and O for the Vikings. Dante Culpepper, Fran Tarkenton, Brett Favre, and Sam Donald, who's quite a list.

Yeah, he looks awesome. And 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 studs 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. 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 is, was smart enough to bring in Brian Flores and be like, take care of this side of the ball. And I think the Vikings, like, this isn't a fluke. I think they're, 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 Hopkinson, too.

Yeah.

So the Vikings could get better on offense.

Yeah. Who, I think they play the packers next week, which would be big for the NFC north.

This was also a wife's, a wife swap of defensive ends game. So you had Danielle Hunter, who's now Daniel Hunter, who's now in the Texans, and then you had Greenard, who's now Jonathan Greener, down the Vikings, and Greenhard had the much better game between three sacks. Three sacks. It was, it was a fun game, and I have to believe in the Vikings now. Like, the Vikings are fun to watch.

Yeah. And, and the game could have gone different. We should say that 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. Like, I, they're, that defense is just, it's fucking people up. I mean, that it back to back, you know, week one, obviously, the Giants are kind of a mess, even though they won this week, but the 49 ers and the Texans are two teams that are teams that have Super bowl 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 Donald had big bro, CJ Stroud.

Yeah. Come on. A little bro. Little bro. Things are going to turn around for you.

Listen, that was, it's tough to follow up that CJ shroud have that performance after that clip.

Well, CJ Stroud had to clarify that he did not intend to. Caleb, he definitely big brodom, though.

He's just, I mean, I guess I understand where CJ Shroud's coming from because he was so phenomenal last year that you like. Yeah, this is just every single year. But today was, was kind of a wake up. Cause I really do think that was probably the worst CJ shrouds looked.

So I gotta imagine that if one.

Interception was tip pass, but still, still he was, they were all over.

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 for the packers.

Yes.

Yeah.

Yeah, that will be it.

Yeah. That's the one. Flores is going to confuse the fuck out of him.

Yeah. 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, might just start. He might just slay defensive coordinators.

He might be. It's just. It's just the packers uniform.

It's. It's their organization. Okay. Anything else on this game? Hank, what do you think about this game?

Good game.

Yeah.

Hard fought Darnold.

Hard fought stud.

Yeah. Anything else? What do you think about CJ Shroud didn't play well.

Yeah.

Yeah.

Is he no longer him?

No.

I don't think one game determines CJ Stroud washed. I don't think so.

I think he might be washed.

So you would, what would you rank the game on the hankometer?

Five out of ten.

Five out of ten.

Boring. I mean, Brian Flores, great coach.

What about that Eagles Saints game on the Hank meter?

I had the Eagles hungry dog.

Okay.

Sorry.

I was happy. I was pulling my guy Max.

Okay. All right, next up we've got the Colts 21, bears 16.

Whoo.

I don't really know. I. 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 Iberfoose 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. That was a very winnable game, and the Bears didn't win it. And I'm trying to stay positive. That was a positive.

That was, like, the most winnable game ever.

Ever.

Super. On a scale of one to ten, I'd say that's a nine.

It's Matt. Matt Iberfoo is eleven 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 gonna be up and down. The turnovers weren't were bad, but he also had some really nice throws through for 363 yards. I know people 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. I'm kale. Boom 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.

The earlier you can call a bust, the better.

Yeah.

Was that true?

Lol. Bears. Everyone's gonna.

You agree?

Shit on them.

You guys love busting people.

Yeah, we do. But I don't.

I bust a lot of people.

I'm not worried about Caleb Williams. I swear to God I'm not. And I know people like you're just making excuses. The Shane Waldron special of that for that, that first and goal. First of all, Matt Iberfluz didn't challenge a clear spot to challenge Cole Comet. They ended up getting the first down. But you are such a fucking pussy. You. You basically got bullied out of doing challenges. We didn't want you to not challenge. Wanted you to not challenge fucking things that you were going to clearly lose.

So with Eber flu, it's. Yes, he's a bird brain. He's not very smart 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 a division with Dan Campbell. Matt Lafleur.

Joke.

O'Connell.

It's a joke.

And if you look at those other three coaches and then, and then you look at either flu, it's very glaring that he's probably not the guy to stick around for a long time.

He is. It's in and I knew it. Remember when, when hard knocks came out and I said, they're trying to make him look cool to make us forget that he sucks. Cool. He looks cool either way. That for that, that person. Goal. They did a wildcat run. Ban the fucking wildcat. It hasn't worked six 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 to. But God damn it, do I fucking hate these guys. Shane Waldron's a moron.

So Shane. Shane Waldron is. He loves all the gadgets.

He gets so gas work.

And they're all the very slow developing plays behind the line of scrimmage to where somebody gets tackled for, like, minus three yards on a jet sweeper and end around. It was, it was sad to watch that.

It was a painful game to watch. They can't run the ball.

Watch DJ Moore, too, because DJ Moore, he's got, he's got some bad body language.

It's not good. They can't run the ball. Deandre Swift should not be the starting running back anymore. Roshan Johnson should. Should. Or clear Herbert. Like, 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.

It's so bad against the Colts defense. It couldn't stop the run. It's fucking, 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 2nd down plays. How many of those do you think have turned into first downs?

Almost none of them.

Five.

Yeah. Out of 59, they're the lowest in the NFL by a significant.

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've stopped the run. Anthony Richardson is. I, I'm not changing anything I said. I know that. 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, I watched the whole game. Anthony Richardson tried to give us that game a hundred times.

Yeah. He's not a mid range quarterback. He's not a short range quarterback. Long range. He is. Anthony Richardson is best when you just watch him throw.

Yeah. Like, and I know they won the game, which I can't really criticize.

Like, at a pro day, hypothetically. 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 Blaster 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. 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 1010ft over his head.

Yeah, maybe he needs to work out before games.

No.

And 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 feel confident in, in, in my analysis on Anthony Richardson. But the Colts deserve credit. They want a game, hard fought game. And the Bears are just, I just fucking hate the guys who are making the decision 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 Iberfluss.

I've got some cheer up, big cat stats for you.

Okay. I'm actually surprisingly like this. You guys did the hypothetical every time where it's like, if Caleb Williams throws for this many yards, like, he did have some insane throws. There was one that I think the one that got called back where he, he scrambled and hit Cole Comet, like 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. Like, 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.

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.

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. It was like 180 yards week two. And then week three, he has 363.

So 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.

That's pretty. Also, you're going to get Keenan Allen back.

Yeah.

And there's that Caleb, that would help.

A lot with the middle of the field. Also, the passing chart looks good. He's doing things that bears 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. Doon's a. Yep. And then he ran after Roma Doonsey because Rome ran off the field with the ball. Then there was a big controversy about who gets that ball. 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 down for it.

Rome looks good today.

He did look.

He looked awesome. So that was very encouraging. And the defense still is awesome. They get. 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, for Nelli, he has to stop texting me. This is the drive that Caleb Williams does it because I think we're like over 15 now. He texted me that again tonight. Today we gotta believe. And it was the strip sack. You gotta. 2 seconds later, you gotta believe. You can't second.

It's too early to get negative, but I'm.

I am staying more positive than I'm. I'm sure there's people who want me to be very negative, and there's gonna be people who are like, hey, you're such a. 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 what?

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?

Yeah. Would you? Illinois football is four no. 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, I did. They, they kept him around for a reason. That was.

Yeah. Was stupid reason.

It was a stupid reason.

What was the reason?

I wanted a 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 owner, honestly, what was.

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 to Weaver flu and Shane Waldron and I. Honestly, Shane Waldron is, by the way, the end of the line of, if you, if you like, were around Sean McVeigh at any point. That's.

We figured out, we figured out what that line is.

Yeah.

If you, I think the Bears ownership probably just saw Matt Eberfluce got a better haircut and, like, he's really turned up.

You 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'm played Anthony Richardson.

I mean, that's not hard to do, but that's that.

Imagine if.

Yeah.

That didn't happen.

Yes.

It's more about, 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.

Colts stink on defense.

It's a joke so bad. Painful to watch. That was a painful game.

Who's next week?

Ramsden. So that's a, every, I mean, every game. Every game is a coaching mismatch. It's, it's in Chicago. I'm gonna say the Rams are one point favorites. Oh, I think there's a one point favorite.

Favorites.

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 have go away. That fucking clip of him shaking against the Texans. 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 DeShawn 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 things happen on opening kickoffs.

Opening kickoffs. But then Daniel Jones played a pretty damn competent game, and Malik neighbors is the real deal. The real deal. And 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 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. Let's go.

Yeah. So it turns out that the Giants have a new motto for this year. Oh, 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 go beat him. And Malik neighbors is the ultimate fuck it guy for Daniel Jones because he could just throw the ball up. And do you see that one catch that neighbors had on the sideline where he, like, he took it away from the defender? He actually. He's kind of like Travis Hunter.

Yeah, he could.

He has to intercept a lot of passes that are intended for the other team to accept.

Yes.

And Malik neighbors, if you just. Just throw it near him, he will make a play on it. Daniel Jones looked good in contrast, but also, Deshawn 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 the 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 scar neck, he 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.

What about, can we chalk any of up to Rust?

Yeah, we could do Russian.

Watson's rusty.

We could do Russ. He needs to clean those pipes out.

Anyone rust here in the world?

He's still right. He's got lingering rusty. Lingering rust.

He's still rusty. No. Deshaun Watson's bad. I don't know what you do if you're a Browns fan with Deshaun Watson. I think you just hope that he's like, I don't even know that you get out of the contract.

I don't.

You just hate it with Diddy.

Yeah. That's what you got to hope for. If you're a 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 really nice 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 is 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, what being a turnstile is like. Because when I was an offensive lineman back and 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's. He needs everything situationally to be perfect. I'm 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.

Facts.

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 blues 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 I 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 fantas. The best. He's. He's the best. But yeah, I, because you had, last week, we were like, oh, maybe the Browns are not as bad as we thought. And they're like, nope, Shawn Watson's bad. Yeah. Yeah, browns. Iran 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. I think fantasy should at least take him up on the offer, at least. The goat race.

Yeah, the goat race sounds like a great.

Goat racing. Sounds awesome. Yeah.

Now, there was a moment in this game that must have driven Browns fans crazy. They had an interception that they returned for a touchdown, and they had everybody on the team. And I counted more than eleven 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. And that's a very sad. You. You can't. If you. If you do a celebration for a touchdown that's scored, that is taken off via penalty.

Yup.

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, I. Good. Good for the giants. They kind of. Because this was. This is week three feels like the bottoming out week. If you go Owen three and you do it in bad fashion, we're going to talk about the Titans. Feels like it kind of bottoms out. So they. They at least recaptured a little bit of. It was like, hey, this season's not fully, fully over. And Malik neighbors is awesome.

Malik neighbors is really. He's 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 to. Sean Watson will go down as the worst ever.

And you know what? Fuck it.

What? Fuck it. Oh, yeah. Fuck it. I forgot their new model.

It's a great.

What were you gonna say? 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 I. If you're in the Giant situation. Yes. Say fuck it.

Yeah, say fuck it. Just go out there and fuck around. Win a couple games.

Fuck it. Who? 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. Steelers 20. Chargers ten. Holy shit. This Steelers defense is for real. Justin Fields looked awesome. Goes back to coaching, which shouldn't be a surprise that the coaching for the Bears is not good. 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 he had was not his fault. Yeah, his receiver didn't catch it. And the Charger, 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. They have held the three opponents they played to a total of 26 points. There's 23 teams in the NFL who have held their opponents today double that or more. So 26 points obviously leading the NFL. They also. The first team in 20 years to allow sub 300 yards on each game and ten points or less was there. Awesome.

Was that also the Steelers? That feels like a Steelers stat.

I don't know who it was before. It probably was either. The Steelers. The Ravens.

In the second half, the Chargers were held to minus five yards of offense.

Yeah.

Which is crazy. And whenever TJ Watt was allowed to rush against all, he ate his lunch in the first half, they were doing a lot of chipping. They were like double teaming him and TJ couldn't really get anything going. But then her big started to pick it up, too.

This is.

And 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. I. 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, it's really not going to get better is when you have TJ Watt and Nick Herberg, like, jumping on top of you multiple times in a game. I just, I feel like that was maybe a mistake. I said this before, so it's not. Hindsight is 2020. I thought maybe just sit him out, try to win that game with Taylor Heinecke and get, get him healthy because this is going to linger now. He's, he looks very bad moving around and I know he had that. Quinton 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. So what are you going to do? So, and so then you heard 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 his ankle swollen through his socks, like two different socks.

It was bad.

Yeah, it was a bad, bad second half for the Chargers. I feel. 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 two in one. You got a big game against Chiefs. As for the Steelers, the Steelers are, I mean, they're good. 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 of Russell Wilson's 100% because.

We know that you cannot bench a three and, oh, 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. I could see. I could see Rossi getting the nod.

No way. Good. Not right now. You're saying next week?

I personally would not. There's no way will it happen.

I don't think Tomlin would do that. I think you got a, you got a three and o quarterback. Justin Field is playing better every single week. I. You can't do that. You got to wait until something bad happens and, like, he has a bad game and then maybe make a switch. But they're, they're deep. They have a formula. Like, 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 get like, don't go on any quick drives. Don't, don't try to showboat out here. Just get some nice, like, 1012 play drives put together.

Yeah.

End up with points.

And Calvin Austin is good.

Yeah.

Like, that was a revelation today. Calvin Austin, George Pickens, Friarmuth, run the ball. They're going to play the Colts next week. You think, you think that defense isn't going to be able to pick off a couple?

I think that's going to be. That sounds like a 17 to nothing victory for the Steelers next week.

I just. Anthony Richardson will hit a big one. He does hit big.

He does it.

He does hit big ones. But, yeah, you cannot, you have to keep riding Justin Fields. This is also first time Justin Fields won three, three straight games in his NFL career. Is it really, again, is just insult stat against Spears, which we deserve. Justin Fields, we deserve that insult stat.

He's now 20 against Harbaugh.

Yeah.

He's a Harbaugh slayer.

He is the harm.

You beat him at Ohio State, right?

Uh, no, wait.

I think he did.

What year do we draft Justin Fields? 20.

I'm pretty sure.

Yeah, you're right. He did.

Yeah.

20 is.

He's got Harbaugh's number.

Yeah, he does. He does. Okay, next up, Steelers are. They're, they're, they're fun in an ugly way.

No, I like them.

Yeah. Like, this ugly football is fun.

Yeah.

Yeah. They're playing ugly football in a fun way.

Yeah.

Justin Fields is also fun when he's playing.

Well, football is only fun when you win.

It is, but like, they're 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, 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 on offense, you think, maybe we'll score on this, so you have 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 Lafour is a 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's 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. He was just bombing it. He threw for 202 yards. He rushed for 73. Coaching matters.

I don't think it's the same Malik Willis coach. I think they changed him out with somebody.

And 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 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 wasn't, it wasn't all. 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 Malik Willis was just making plays. He was just throwing seeds. He was. His running ability was so good. It's frustrating to watch as a guy that thought that he knew exactly who Malik Willis was.

Yep. And I miss Joe Berry so much because Jeff Halfley seems like he can coach a defense. The Titans will Levis had a good first drive, and then we had a will Levis moment where he threw that pick six. That was tough. But the packers are now two and one 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, but I always smokescreen, smokescreen.

This is also what the packers are smart. They're like, hey, we play the Vikings next week at which they're going to be the team, you know, one of the teams that we're fighting for in 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 a game, another game that they thought they could win with Malik Willis.

You don't think that Will Levis is listening to 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?

Mason Rudolph.

Oh, yeah, it is. Mason Rudolph. Mason Rudolph. Rudolph. We also had the first ever 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's job at Penn State. Will Levis decide transfer to Kentucky. Then Will Levis got drafted and stole Malik Willis's job at Tennessee.

Mm hmm.

And then Malik Willis went to the packers and stole Sean Clifford's job.

That's wild.

Wild.

That's why that's a full circle.

Circle. So, I think won all of it.

So who's. 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 gonna steal his job.

True.

And then.

I don't know.

We'll have to.

Yeah.

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.

Kind of a cool circle.

It's a cool circle.

Yeah.

Congrats to Mali. 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.

Yeah.

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.

Yeah, no, you gotta go.

Gotta keep going, though.

You got it.

But I might not have another. Oh. 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.

It's a. What is it? Martingale strategy. Everyone's. Everyone who's ever gamble is. Yeah, keep doubling, keep doubling. You'll eventually.

It's like. Doesn't work like Caleb Williams passing yards.

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.

Yeah.

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 have nots in the NFL.

And also, Green Bay's got a very good running game.

Yeah, their offense line is good. And then their defense again, Jeff Hafley 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. Now their defense is good.

Yeah. Okay, another one. That was a little bit of a shocker, but not really because maybe the Bucks coming back down to earth. The Broncos 26, the Bucks seven. Bo Nicks, no interceptions. Maybe Sean Payton found a system for him.

Everybody else on the team finally stepped up to Bo. Next is playing ability speaker zero.

But Sean Payton said afterwards, this guy is going to be something. Could mean anything.

I think he's already something that could mean anything.

He is something.

He's a noun.

He's an NFL quarterback. He's something. 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 Stephen Shea scoffed 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 Bucks 20 to six. It was Broncos 26 seven. 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 Bucks 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 didn't bet the, I didn't bet this game. My official pick on all the shows was the Broncos, but I didn't bet it. I wish I had, because here's a fun stat that bad job by us to not find it on Friday show Sean Payton in regular season games is now seven and oh against Todd Bowles coach teams, whether he was a coordinator or head coach. Seven and oh. Sean Payton scores 29.7 points per games, and he's done it with four different quarterbacks. Drew Brees, Jamis Winston, Taysom Hill and Bo Nicks. He owns them in the regular season. Now, he did lose a playoff game to him, 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 on Friday a little bit that Baker's getting pressured a lot.

Yeah.

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. Godwin didn't really do that much today either.

No. That also scored a touchdown, but.

Yeah, yeah, but that, but the offense was pretty much shut down.

Yeah. 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's 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, just for the boys.

Yeah. Listen, Sean Payton, you're allowed to smoke whatever you want after a win.

Yeah. But also he's, 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.

It was, 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, hey, Baker and Derek Carr are the best quarterbacks league. 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, we, by the way, we should we, should we pause for this and the 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 demo demure. What is the other line of it, Max?

Mindful.

See?

Very mindful.

He's very mindful and demure.

Amiglia.

Look at him. He's just, he's so cute. They had said in the broadcast last night that or tonight that Andy Reidden loves watching Tuesday and Wednesday night. Max. And that's how he found Carson Steele. Yeah.

No shit.

Awesome. Yeah. Just like no duh. I love that. I'm watching, you know, bowling green ball state, and Andy Reid is also watching that game. Eating a cheeseburger, just loving life. That's how it is.

All right, days off from football. What am I going to do?

Football matching. All right, so fourth and inches, what's the play call here?

You said that we're gonna pause. Were you actually recording?

No, we're recording this. Yeah, we usually talk about it. Yeah, fourth and inches, what's the play call?

My play call is give the fucking ball to Bijan.

I'm gonna agree with that bootleg. Is they gonna do a sneak touch push? No, no. QB sneak. Oh, that's so bad.

And nothing.

Why did they do a stretch play?

Game over.

That fucking sucked.

Couldn't have done that last week.

Arthur Smith vindicated.

Shut up.

And the Chiefs are three and. Oh, again. And they didn't even cover the fucking falcons. Couldn't even cover the spread. God damn.

Were they circling on defense here? Oh, yeah, that guy just wasn't touched. Bad play call.

Fuck yeah, that was. I don't know, that that's a tough, that's a tough play call. Like, I'd. If you're gonna do something outside, dude, just do a play action. Feels like someone will be open, you.

Know, DJ Robinson, that's a tough play.

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, 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 got kind of got, kind of got a little shit to him.

They got a lot of shit to him.

Yeah.

But, yeah, this gets, this gets shot. You know what I predict for next week? I don't know who the Broncos are playing, but Sean Payton's going, whose line is 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 a meter?

They play the Jets.

Jets. Okay.

The Broncos play the jet.

Where is it?

Jets.

Oh, that reminds me, that Thursday night is looking cocky. Blake. Portals bowl. I think it's jets seven.

Jets seven. Jets. Yeah, I like that. I'll go with you on that. Jets eight.

Well, my prediction was gonna be that Sean Payton feels himself a little bit this week. Sean Payton off a, off a. Win a game. No one expect him to win.

He's feeling good.

He's gonna be feeling himself, is ready to go. Yeah, but I'm not saying that's gonna mean that they're gonna 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.

Hey, what shirt is that?

Billy strings.

Oh, you like Billy Strings?

Never talking about him.

I mean, I don't talk about him. You guys bring him up.

Is it this shirt? Hank, this is NFL.

That's the NFL.

Oh, you like football?

Yeah, we do.

Do a whole podcast about it.

Wow. I don't always love.

You do a podcast about Billy Strings? Pretty much.

Do I?

Yeah.

Let's go Panthers.

Andy Dalton now what I'm about to say is going to feel like a lot of hate towards Bryce Young. I do not hate Bryce Young. I'm just going to say some stats and you can decide whether Andy Dalton should have been the starter to begin the season or not. Andy Dalton threw more TD's in the first half than Bryce Young did in the last ten games. He also is the only QB with 300 yards and three TD's 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's it? Who was the 25th?

Yes. It's pretty much impossible. Trivia question. Jake Plummer, Tony Romo. Okay, so see it on.

That's good. I like that. Yeah. Yeah. I was thinking myself, it was any.

Other name I wouldn't.

Brian big cat fifth. Because. Because it's Tony. I like that a lot.

Yeah.

And he. Dalton looked really good out there. If, 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 David Clowney, who is on the Panthers.

Is he really?

Yes. He had a couple sacks.

Respected Jadavian Clowney, the king of the one year deal.

Yes.

He just keeps bounce. He's seeing the country. He's getting no different city. He was all over the place, checking out 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 Jamie Clowney 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. But Andy Dalton looked awesome today. The Panthers looked. They looked like a competent football team. Like, this exceedingly competition ass kicking that they handed the.

Yeah.

So shout out to Andy, and he looks good, too.

Yeah, he does. Andy, 37 years old. Is he really playing the Bengals next week?

He's the 25th leader in touchdown pass. That's pretty crazy. We get an Andy Dalton revenge game against the Bengals next week, which has.

Happened a couple times. He's two and one, I think, against the Bengals all time, so. 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 Tapper misses.

Tapper misses Tapper, 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 the quarterback next year. Maybe.

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 TD's, 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 postgame, 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 taken Xavier Leggett away from us.

Yes.

And not getting him anymore. Any more screen time. But, yeah, Bryce Young. 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.

Back in, like, do you think, 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.

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.

Yeah.

College tape.

Yeah.

So, yeah, I agree they got to trade them. 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, say, 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 nothing winning right now, but it's so early to be like, tank.

Yeah.

You can't tank in week three.

Right.

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.

But anything could happen if you're the Panthers, like, you could, you could, in theory, make the playoffs.

They'll probably beat the Bears now. I don't know, Andy. Don't. Revenge game.

He changes the equation.

He does. He's a. 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. So I'm gonna imagine there's gonna be a lot of running Raiders practices coming up.

It's Kay. Like, imagine every Disney movie that you 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 going to 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 we'll 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. Yeah.

He's talking about you like you're a perp.

I'd agree. Yeah, I'd agree. So. Yeah, I don't. I. The Raiders. That was. That was awful. That was. That was really, really bad.

At least Alexander Madison keeps scoring touchdowns.

He does.

That's cool.

He does. And the Panthers, who knows? Who knows where Andy doll can take him? Probably a loss of the Bengals next week, but that does. You can't say no.

You can't say no to any.

Can't say no. They. Their schedule is not hard because they're. 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. For Thielen, though.

No.

That looked like a pretty bad hamster.

That was an awesome catch. Awesome throw.

Yeah.

But, yeah. Shout out the 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 David Clowney, was like, take those bags off your head. We're coming back home.

Yeah.

To a parade.

Yep. For throw a parade. Why not? You won a game. So you talked about Antonio Pierce making his team run. He. Remember he did that to his high school team coach. Yeah. They were up, what, 63 to nine at halftime?

Yeah.

And they had to run sprints.

He thought they should have been up more. Yeah. Yeah. So tough. Tough one for the Raiders. And you're. 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 49 ers, 24. The kitchen sink game. I knew it.

Sean McVeigh and the Rams did it. They did. They had the. The fake punta. They were running all sorts of weird trick plays. I was told you, Kyron Williams. Or was it somebody else that threw that pass? Because they threw a hell of a pass, Kyron.

To. To atwell.

Yeah. Two.

Two.

Outwell through a hell of a pass.

Yeah. They. They. The r. I don't know. I just. I felt it going in that. The Rams kitchen sink, like Shawn with a, is such a good head coach. They are down so many guys. They're gonna 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 McVeigh's. This is why coaches, like coaches, win games, too. And that was a coaching masterpiece by Sean McVeigh.

Yeah. And you can't waste the Juwan Jennings game if you're the 49 ers.

Yeah.

Cause you had all your guys out. Ayuk doesn't. Ayuk 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 49 ers. But then you look at who the Rams are missing and they're everyone. Everyone.

Every single person.

And this, you could tell that McVeigh was pumped to win this game.

Oh, yeah. Because it was a line in the sand. Like, this is our season. If we start. Oh, and three, it's completely over. We got embarrassed last week against the Cardinals. That's gimme Shawn McVeigh all day in that. Now, I don't know what's going on with the vi, with the 49 ers. You could just say, hey, they're very injured. But those are two games. Like, I know that the Vikings game, they shouldn't have won, but this game they should have won. They were up ten, you know, in the fourth quarter, and it was just big play after big play that the Rams were able to make in the Vik and the 49 ers weren't. And now they're one and two, 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 still games. Yeah. Almost half of Matthew Stafford's wins have needed Matthew Stafford to have a game winning drive.

Yeah.

I mean, he's six 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.

That 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. You're a 49 ers fan. Panic button. Where is it? Where is it? In your house? Is it on your desk.

I'm gonna look, I'm gonna look at their schedule. No, they play the Patriots next week.

Okay. Yeah, they're good. They're good.

But 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 wooden, you probably had this game against the Rams as a w, because.

You might have, you might have had that as.

But you beat.

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 the number one. Like, 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. I. 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, is this actually a good start for the Niners?

Yeah. Yeah.

Because now they could maybe get him for cheaper.

What does it matter?

Because if you have played well today without a lot of weapons.

No, I know, but I'm just saying, like, if they missed the playoffs, somehow, he did play well.

No, because here's how, here's how it works in the NFL.

It doesn't help their case whether he plays well without the stars.

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 the 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.

Guess what? You got to pay him.

Got to pay him. He's got to get $1 more than Dak.

Yeah. You think? I don't think Brock Purdy would do that. I don't think he'd play the dollar game.

No, I don't think so, either.

But also taxes and California.

No one's NFL careers guaranteed.

Yeah.

You want to get that money? Yeah. We can't do that to Brock Purdy. We can't be like Brock Purdy. Such a nice guy.

He should get $10.

Farm boy.

That's what I would do.

Really only needs a couple million.

I requested $2 more than Dak Prescott.

Yeah. Or just a huge farm.

Yeah.

Buy us some land. Yeah. But Rams. Sean McVeigh, kitchen sink game. He's. That's, that's the type of duty is. He was very pumped up. You saw how animated he was. Yeah.

In the locker room after the game.

Yeah. Okay. Lions 20 years.

Looking good, by the way, for McVeigh.

Yes.

Those PRP injections.

Yeah.

Nice job.

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 Golf 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. Yeah, 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 golf threw.

Yes.

That got called back.

Yeah. Two minute warning.

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 1 second when the ball was snapped and the refs blow it dead. That could have been a big play right there.

That could have been a huge play.

Yes.

That was a huge play. But yeah, the Lions looked incredible in the first half. 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 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 off 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, it was also a Jack Fox legacy game for the Lions.

Did he go off.

Jack Fox went off AwL punter for the, for the Lions. He had five punts, four inside the 20 and along of 68 on the other big game by punt to win sometimes.

Beast. Yeah, the, the Cardinals offense essentially was deep shots. It didn't work because last week they were, was five for five on them. This week he was one for seven and you could tell like they doubled Marvin Harrison after he scored his touchdown. Lions deep. 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, Bruce Hall. I saw memes look up at me.

Yeah, they're pretty good.

They're pretty good.

About is hedgesthem three headed monster.

I'm sure. I'm sure he'll be cut soon. Oh, will he? Yeah, I don't think there's. Yeah, I mean, I don't. 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.

Yeah, their, their offenses looked clunky. It's look 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 step up. And he's a different receiver than Josh Reynolds, but that Josh Reynolds was an unheralded guy.

He was like the 14 yard, very important mister. 14 yards.

Yeah. And Laporta got banged up, which didn't help, but yeah. Lions. Lions look good. Speaking of which. So next game, the Lions. So the Seahawks 24, Dolphins three. 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, Meg. 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 also had moments where, you know, got safety a billion times, gets. The Broncos 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 Skyler Thompson. They beat Jacobi Brissette, and they beat a Bo Nixon, his first start.

Also, Tim Boyle and Tim Boyle. Tim.

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.

Tyler Thompson, Jacoby Brissette and Bo Nicks.

Which bad team play who you would play.

Yep.

But they seem to be, they seem to be run in a competent manner.

I'm very close to buying in on.

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. 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. I. Yeah, I'm going to say the Seahawks Lions game is going to be the winner of that game. I'm going to 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?

Hmm?

We got Tyler Huntley, Tannehill. He's.

Tyler Huntley's already signed. Yeah.

But Tann Hills out there.

Tannehill's out there. I don't think you can bring back Tannehill.

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, with, no offense to our guy, Skyler Thompson, but, yeah, you. Skyler Thompson is not ready for that type of horsepower.

He's a, he's a power wheels kind of guy. Yeah, he's got the Lamborghini, but it's a 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.

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 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 skillset of a lot of backup quarterbacks pretty well. He's, 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. Yeah. He's the prototypical backup quarterback.

Yeah.

In demeanor. Look, everything. Tim Boyle.

Tim Boyle.

He's, he's almost like AI version of a backup quarterback.

But you're right. The, the Dolphins bum me out big time. Big time, big time right now. You know, 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 for, I, we said it on Friday the minute that the Dolphins coach. And then some of the players saying Tim or Skyler Thompson is a different guy this time around. You knew it wasn't true.

He said he's a different man. He's run our plays in a walkthrough setting probably more than anybody on our team.

This is not true. But also, you have to say he's a different guy this time around. No, it's, chances are he's probably, it's almost like a guy trying to get, like, a second chance after cheating on his significant other. Like, I'm a different man. No, you aren't. Probably not.

I write a book about it.

Yeah.

Trust me.

Probably not.

But no, that was actually a quote from, from McDaniel. He said that he's runner 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, that again, that's, that's having a lambo.

Mm hmm.

And he basically, yeah. He had a lambo, and he just was. He was driving it in, like, a 15 miles an hour school zone.

So I had the under in this game, so I went one and one. What are the standings for everybody else?

I think I had week. I got a bad week.

I was one on one.

I got a bad week.

Panthers.

I lost the Rams, and I got to undernight in Washington. Cincinnati. 47.

Okay.

I think I had a bad week.

Big cat over Atlanta, plus three and a half.

L. Get ready to learn. Bachelor party.

Now you're in first, though.

No, I wasn't. I was in second. Tied with everyone. It's early.

It's early.

Bad week.

Turns out a lot of our fans are getting married.

Yeah.

I was shocked, man.

Card.

Yeah. It's gonna be fun for whoever loses, but not really the picking.

I don't know how we're gonna. Like how it's gonna happen. Yeah, I'm never. I'm never.

I mean, I'm not looking like.

We've gotten thousands. People keep sending tens of thousands, maybe.

No one's looking until months from.

Yeah, months.

So stop sending.

Yeah, you're not gonna. You're. It's not even gonna get eyes on it right now.

It's gonna. It's gonna be like a whole dude.

Me and my 14 buddies are going to x place for bachelor party. Like, no, that's not. No one's gonna look at it.

Yeah, well, we'll have to make. We'll have to do, like, almost a dating show to figure out who we're compatible with.

Gotta find the chillest bro.

Yeah. Yeah.

Or maybe the least chill bros. We, the winners should get the pick.

I agree. Oh, I agree that it's a good take.

Did you. What was your record this week?

I'm one. Oh. And one right now.

Okay. Just making sure you were.

First place gets to choose.

First place gets choose. Okay, that's fine. That's gonna 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 US.

Has to be in the US.

Has to be in the US.

I like that. So. Yeah.

Yeah. Can't have someone.

So, Hawaii.

Why is in play. Anchorage, Alaska. Yeah.

I'm not calling Guam places. Who does our bachelor party? Hawaii. That'd be crazy.

Before wines.

Crazy expensive.

Maui maui Invitational Invitational. That'd be a sick bachelor party.

That would.

I said I.

You've said that before.

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, going back to the packers loss in the playoffs, they have given up in their last three home games in eleven first half possessions, ten touchdowns.

Yeah, the, 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 him in the first half, ran all over him, all over him. 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 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 owing three so bad.

Yeah. And they came out like a team that needed a win. And 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 this stat up. Bad job by us. Lamar Jackson, now 21 and one against the NFC.

Oh, wow. Yeah, he kills.

He kills.

The NFC absolutely kills them. 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, but I.

He's got it. 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 next year?

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 Vaughn, who's their running back. 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 dip, but incredible dick, but.

One of the best dicks.

But if, if you're Jerry Jones, I wouldn't imagine that eight and a half is like blowing your mind if you've been in locker rooms your entire life. Is that noteworthy? It probably looks bigger on.

Yeah, no, that's totally a damn in relation.

No, I'm saying, what are you, eight.

And a half and a half inch dicks?

A big dick. I'm not saying, like, if I were hanging out with you guys, oh, you guys see this guy's cock? 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 Foxx, like, this guy's dick is eight and a half inches long, that I was notable.

Sigh I think that's notable no matter what.

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, I don't think they make them much bigger than that.

Bragging about Nate now.

Yeah.

Well, okay. Do you think, do you think that he's seen it like full, full mast or now if it's eight, that's, that's not, probably not.

That's not worth, I would imagine that's how he's seen it. And I do think that no matter what, eight and a half 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, like, it's weird that he brought that up to just Jamie Foxx that.

Well, yeah, of course. That's, that's the whole point of the video is it's weird.

Yes, it's very weird.

Right. That's, the video is like, Jerry Jones is a weirdo.

Yes, he's very. We agree on that.

I don't know where we I don't know where we got lost.

Okay. Where we got lost is that. I'm thinking that Jerry Jones is bigger. It has seen way bigger. And so for him to just drop.

And I think eight and a half. That's a, that's big. No matter what it.

I agree with you.

I feel like you're not impressed by. I like you must take it a lot bigger.

Hog reveal.

I'm impressed. Yeah. Five foot eight and a half inches. How much do you think I could get for a hog reveal? Probably like 40, $50. Way more.

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.

Those are boneheaded play.

That sucked.

That, I mean, the Falcons. The Falcons felt like a team of destiny going into this game.

Yes.

On Arthur blank night, 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 had, they had the, they got stopped at the goal line, too. God damn, that's a bummer. Falcons could have been very fun.

Yeah, we saw, we saw Carson Steel and Crocky J. Make his return.

Yeah.

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, but no. Crocky J, who's an alligator, by the way, not a crocodile.

Yep.

The Chiefs, they just seem like they, if you, if you have a close game against them, they're gonna win every time.

Every time.

Every single time.

We said, I said it at halftime, I was like, this is gonna, this is a game the Chiefs are gonna end up winning. Even though the Falcons have looked a little bit better. And it's not even the worst part about the Chiefs of, and she's, 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 she's having played like, an a plus game.

They haven't.

And that's, that's the most disappointing part, is that, like, they have not played an a plus game in their three.

And, oh, and they, they were playing these types of games last year and they were losing those.

Yeah.

And now, and everyone's like, oh, what's.

Wrong with the Chiefs?

Yeah, they would. 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, we'll just do like b minus games for a while. Yeah, their defense is very good, but yeah, Chiefs three, you know, I don't, Falcons are fun. I should say that Falcons 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 do. The 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 ending of the half was kind of what screwed them a little bit, too, because they had Bijon kick the ball out of bounds, which I love whenever they do the illegal touching. And then Kirk fumbled the snap and then the Chiefs were able to get a field goal. And that's how, 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 like, batted the ball forward off the snap, does that count as a pass or is that a running?

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 the week before we.

Okay, Monday Night Football. Pft. Would you like to give your thoughts? You're going to the game.

I'm gonna be in the barn. Yes. I've been promised numerous, numerous skyline chilis. I've been requested to go to mass. Have you heard of Bengals 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 speaker. It's in the tailgate lot. It's pretty cool.

Okay, so, yeah, we'll see what happens there. But 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. And 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 Jaden now. Jaden 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 owing three.

I agree with you there. I think you got a bad draw going up against the Bengals team that desperately needs a win.

I wish they beat the Chiefs last week.

I know it feels like they got, they got their mojo back a little bit last week. Yeah, I think Tee Higgins is going to play.

That's what I heard.

So they're gonna 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.

So. 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, I. 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 leaders went outright.

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 big NFL back at it again.

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 Jaguars, because, like, it's like, that's just what's been happening to me. It's like they're, owing to. 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. Okay, cat. Bet you're gonna do the cat pet.

You gotta. You gotta just two money lines.

You gotta do the cap that. How are you gonna 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 you're gonna, where are you gonna stand in your hallway?

I'll pace around.

Your pace.

Maybe she get, like, a ball yard. There's. They get a cat.

I can't get. 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?

The jags.

Yeah. They. Doesn't it feel like that?

Oh, and two.

Oh, two the other cats.

That's what I'm saying.

But I say this and that. What I'm going to end up doing is just parlaying the pills and the Bengals. So just pick one of the other two. One of the underdogs are going to win out, right. That's guaranteed.

Just the hungry cat parlay.

Yeah, it's guaranteed. What are you. What do you make that face, Max?

Yeah, I just don't think it's gonna be the commanders.

Oh.

What?

Nothing.

Well, we're all saying that.

Yeah.

All just been.

We just.

Did you hear my game preview? I was like, I hope I'm not embarrassed.

Yeah, no. Yeah.

We've all said that they're gonna lose, but Jaden Daniels.

But Jaden Daniels, he's so good. That's different. That's different now.

It is. Everything's different.

Okay, let's do who's back of the week rowback question. Rho back.com promo code. Take 20% off your first purchase. Cusips, polos, hoodies, joggers, shorts. Roback.com. hank, seems like you don't have a who's back of the.

No, I did. I don't want to do it immediately after the robot question.

Okay, so let's go. Yeah. I was gonna say, how'd you golf?

Golf back.

Golf on a Sunday when I.

Golf. Well, yeah, I mean, Whitney was in town. He wanted. He wanted to get taken out. It was pouring rain. I tried to get out of it, and he was. I was like, dude, it's pouring rain. It's gonna pour in all day. And he was like, I haven't golf in seven days. I'm down to do it if you do. So I was like, all right, got it.

You didn't want to do it.

You were basically.

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 three, so it was 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 be mean. 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.

But golf is also.

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, I was gonna say I could have totally missed it.

Yeah. Max is locked in.

Max homo.

Max homa.

Yeah.

Yeah.

I gave Max a winner on Saturday. No big deal.

Let's go.

Yeah.

Dodgers look great.

Plus 13.

Dodgers look like that team to fucking beat in that owl.

Yeah, they do.

They do. Real team to beat.

Real team.

Real team to be show. Hey. What? How many home runs you got now? 6363-5353 home runs and 53 over 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 08:00 a.m. gambling in Chicago.

Illegal, you know?

Well, no, but then he got. He got demoted. That, like, he finished gambling at 08:00 a.m. and then just immediately got sent down.

Apparently he may have been still under the influence when he showed.

Well, yeah, because played a game.

Afternoon game.

It was a 121st pitch.

Was it confirmed he was there all night?

Yeah, there was reports that he was.

There till 08:00 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 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, cuz 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, this is just. I'll just do right now. This is just the trend of college football this year is just. 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. Five layer. Yep. Taco Bell burrito up his ass. Seems like this guy's actually gonna do it. Like he was making videos. Like, what do you mean? I mean, that's not that. You just shove it up there, and then you're like, art. It did it.

Why don't you think there's any way, Hank?

Yeah, I guess. I guess arts, more like. Is he gonna show that?

I don't know.

Yeah. What platform can you 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, leave me alone.

How many inches is a five layer burrito?

It's only eight and a half.

Yeah.

Take that like a champ.

This is just the new. This new college football is the story of college football this year.

I think if you want to get eight and a half inches of a five liter burrito up your ass, you got to put in the freezer for a little bit.

Yeah, that's. Yeah, I just.

A lot of hot sauce.

Yes.

Yeah, but, yeah, this is. And he. I think he also did it because there's a late night games, like, people won't remember, but they got fucking killed. Killed by people. BYU.

I also think he wanted to do it.

I think so, too.

I think that these guys.

Yeah.

Now these guys are just like. I think if I say I'm gonna.

Do something crazy, they need to start.

Doing like, like KB's been doing it. He. I think he said that if the jets lose by 21 on Monday Night Football against the 49 ers to open the season, he was gonna go to Punta Cana. Yeah, that's. Those are the bets you got to do. Could you imagine the horror?

No.

Having to go on vacation.

No. Yeah, but they. 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.

They shouldn't sodomize yourself, sir.

Yeah, but there was actually. I mean, it's now gotten so far into the culture that, like, BYU was tweeted out live moss.

Oh, I love that.

And, and there were signs at the game. So, I mean, I like it.

I just think I doing it.

Yeah. No, we're gonna end up in something horrific happening, but I'm here for it. I will watch.

Mm hmm.

And I say this as I. My pinky team just had maybe the win of Sunday against the 49 ers.

Oh, yeah, I forgot about. 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 McVeigh. Yeah.

Literally proven they can win a Super bowl.

They're gonna get healthy.

Correct. Correct. They're going to make the playoffs.

Yeah.

Okay. Pft, what's your who's back?

My who's back of the week is fall. Cause we're actually officially in fall now.

Yes.

I feel like we've been there for just whatever football is back on. I feel like that's fall.

Yeah.

That's the real start of it. But, yeah, 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 seventies, like, fifties in the mornings.

Yeah. And we also remember shirts.

Max is 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. 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.

Yes.

Today was the first day of fall.

So wait, does that mean that we're going to get. 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. That's coming up this Saturday.

Your clocks. Yeah, I'm pumped about that. And also, college football was awesome this weekend.

Yeah, it was. We're gonna talk about all of it on Wednesday. But it was. It was great. I had a great time going to Auburn. Cool place.

Yeah.

Very cool place. That place is every thanksgiving once. It's like. It's basically if you just close your eyes and imagine SEC campus. That's it. What were you there for?

Some thanksgiving thanks to Torden.

Oh, in Auburn?

Yeah. We went hunting.

That rocks the plains of.

All the leaves were orange.

Mm hmm.

It was a good vibe. The downsides of great run and watch football on tailgated.

Yeah.

I got to put the El Camino in storage. That's a summer drive.

It is.

I can't have that out in fall weather.

Yeah. Anything from the booth? Any who's backs. Max. No wedding this weekend.

Okay. Yikes. Not great these days.

Do you do the thing? Do you when you're in a wedding party, do you. Do you joke with the groom right before. Cuz I've been in a few wedding parties and I'll always before just be like, hey, you want to get the fuck out of here? We can like, no problem. I'll just do it with you. We'll get the fuck out of here. You got to give him that option.

This will be the first one that I'm in the party with friend. Like, I've only been it with my brothers.

Got it. So it'll give him that option. It's fun. It breaks the ice.

Have you ever been to a wedding where they do the speak now or forever hold your peace thing or. Yeah, just in movies.

No, they do it, but they just say it and then no one says anything.

Mm hmm.

I don't think I've ever been at a wedding where that's actually said would be cool. Yeah. Can you imagine if, like, you actually had the goods to break it up.

And actually the loser of the pit pool will have the chance to not for. To not forever hold their peace.

Yeah, don't get find out the drama at the bachelor party, and then they.
