[Big Cat]

Some spread.

[PFT Commenter]

We start in Detroit where Dan Campbell is looking chunky and thinking soupy while his friend Bent Johnson is just trying to get his team upright and erect. The Bears look good on their first drive as Rome wasn't built in a day. O'Dunze scored a notable draft pick from Ryan. Rebuilds weren't done in a day or a year or four years. Poles. Everything after that was all Lions as Brock ride an Egyptian scored to make it 217 and Amon Ra St. Brown goes Frazier landed the knockout blow as he scored not once, not twice, but three times on the way to a 50 burger. The Bears are farther away from being back than they've ever been. Lions 52, Bears 21 in Cincinnati, toe.

[Big Cat]

Burrow went down with an injury, leaving Rex Ryan disgusted.

[PFT Commenter]

Toe Burrow is ironically Rex Ryan's best move in the bedroom. Boom.

[Big Cat]

I got a teach. Very good teach the game money to watch as Ja' Marr Chase bank and Travis ATM both found pay dirt in a back and forth affair based on Putin showed signs of Russian aggression in a special Jackson military experiment. But Liam Ice cream Cone fell short of the 31 flavors of points he needed as Drake Browning is a certified cover boy leading the Bengals to a game winning touchdown drive as time expired. Bengals 31 the Jaguars 27 in Pittsburgh.

[PFT Commenter]

Caleb Presley Johnson is going to need a Sunday conversation with Mike Tomlin after walking away from a kickoff and giving up an easy touchdown to the Seahawks. Torrey Horton hears a boo after scoring and Kenneth Brandon Walker said, why you hollering to the black and gold crowd after running through the battered Pittsburgh defense. Tough news for Joe Rogan podcast listeners as it doesn't look like Rodgers will be going to Austin much in the future after Calvin caused an interception in the end zone that swung the game. Seattle 31, Pittsburgh 17 down to New.

[Big Cat]

Orleans We're Mac in the saddle again. We're Mack in the saddle again as Jones is back to being QB1, a four year dream for Kyle Shanahan to realize. Luke Cracker Farrell said, it doesn't matter that we're missing fan favorites like Kittle and Purdy. That logo is still the same. Spencer Fratler hazed Alvin Kamara during rush week, handing him the ball 21 times against the Niners Defense. Thank you, sir. May I have another loss as the Saints don't go marching. Niners 26, saints 21.

[PFT Commenter]

We go down to Miami now, where Henry Lockwood was on the scene for the Patriots big win. Thanks. Boom. Yes. We're down to Miami. Drizzy Drake Bay got the scoring started when he connected with fellow heel Mack Trill Hollins and had the patriots smocking up 7.

[Big Cat]

Keyshawn.

[PFT Commenter]

Keyshawn. KeyshaWN. Keyshawn. Keyshawn.

[Big Cat]

Keyshawn.

[PFT Commenter]

Booty was rocking everywhere after scoring, but unfortunately Andre Aurora Baragalis missed pats on both touchdowns because he's a horrible kicker with a bad number and an arm sleeve and an ass towel, even though he's a kicker. But I digress. In the third quarter, Malik George Washington crossed the Delaware river and could go all the way. This is the fourth quarter, not a third quarter, for a punt return touchdown to give the Dolphins a fourth quarter lead. On the ensuing kickoff, Antonio Tyrese Gibson said, stop trying to catch me. And he could go all the way. And so could Mike Rabel to the house to give the lead right back to the Patriots. Dolphins 27, New England 33. That was a very European way to read the score there. Boom. Thanks. Boom. I didn't want to say Patriots twice in a row. All right, we're sticking the AFC east back up to the Meadowlands for memes in MetLife. Josh Allen is going to feel hungover tomorrow. After taking a punch from Michael Roger Clemens, who thought Josh's nose was the ball. The Bills made sure to run CD formation for Elijah. Give me, give me more touchdowns. That is. While James Chef Cook said hello there.

[Big Cat]

Children as he made the jets defense look like a pee Wee football team.

[PFT Commenter]

Joey laid both of his nuts across the jets forehead with a sack and force fumble. And breaking news, Justin Fields might be ass teach. Oh no. Bill's 30, jets 10. That's terrible news. Boom.

[Big Cat]

We go to Indy where Shane Stipend is playing with house money as Jonathan.

[PFT Commenter]

Taylor Ham was running the pigskin up.

[Big Cat]

And down the field to the tune of 165. Bo Nixalot threw some buttermilk biscuits to his receivers and Troy Franklin Delano Roosevelt proved his legs still work, scoring and hauling in 89 yards. The Colts looked like they were fried, but they ordered seconds of Schradertots as a penalty. Let him put extra mustard on it as the Colts played catch up, winning the game as the clock expired. Colts 29, the Broncos 28.

[PFT Commenter]

And now we go to the game of the week where Max was there in Arrowhead. We head over to Kansas City where it's another year of say, Pron Barkley making opposing defenses look like shrimp as he once again dominated the run game. Andrew Makuba UBA got a five star rating after he took a pic for a ride while Travis Kelsey Swift was saying don't blame me, love made me lazy after dropping a no doubt touchdown. Jalen make you butt hurts had everyone crying for throwing less than 100 yards, but everyone should shut their ass up because he fucking won the game. Eagles 20 Chief 17 standing on the corner.

[Big Cat]

Jameis Winston down the shore are such.

[PFT Commenter]

A fine sight to see eating dubs.

[Big Cat]

Like they were snickers till they ran into a kicker by the name of Brandon Aubrey. Another DA win. This game was mation and all the giant fans just want Jackson.

[PFT Commenter]

Cowboys 40, Giants 37 and that was your fastest two minutes brought to you by Chevy. Football season is here and whether you're grinding through the week or gearing up for kickoff, there's one ride that's always game ready. Chevy Silverado. The Chevy Silverado is a longtime partner, pardon my take in our favorite truck and it's all about grit. From job site to tailgate, Silverado lets you show up strong and tackle any task. Built for hustle, ready for the game. Silverado is America's most dependable full size truck.

It was a hell of a Sunday, boys. We had some crazy action. Can't stress enough how much it sucks to do the nine games early, three games late. The NFL just figure it out. Figure it the fuck out. It was, it was just too much chaos going on and then not tapering us off in a successful way and.

[Big Cat]

Also knowing that we've got two games Monday night. I know it's, it's inexcusable.

[PFT Commenter]

I don't want to complain about football, but it is like it. But it's just a crazy. We have 12 games. Just give them to us correctly.

[Big Cat]

Yeah, yeah. Like it's like when you leave a pet at home.

[PFT Commenter]

Yeah.

[Big Cat]

You're going to eat all the food and you're going to feel bad afterwards.

[PFT Commenter]

It's loaded.

[Big Cat]

We're the pets. You need to make sure that we have a spaced out Sunday afternoon so we don't get full on football or like we're going to be plenty full.

[PFT Commenter]

Yeah.

[Big Cat]

After the first leg just give Us one more game in the afternoon.

[PFT Commenter]

It's loading up on the wedding appetizers. Yeah. And sitting down and being like, shit, this actually was a good dinner. Why did I eat a thousand bacon wrapped scallops?

[Big Cat]

But sometimes it is awesome to just do an appetizer dinner.

[PFT Commenter]

Dude, I do that every single time I stand outside the door.

[Big Cat]

Yeah.

[PFT Commenter]

Like I, I'm standing outside where they come out so I just get it fresh right before it's like un, you know, untouched appetizer platter.

[Big Cat]

Yeah, that's great. Sometimes I just do a dips dinner where I get like four different kinds of dips and then I. That's basically the same thing as just getting too full and then not having any room for dinner. Except you get way too full and you don't have a dinner.

[PFT Commenter]

But it didn't feel like dinner.

[Big Cat]

Yeah, I pretty much skipped. I ate healthy today.

[PFT Commenter]

We're. We. We're. We got the Vikings and the Falcons in a field goal fest, which we will update after we do all the games. Doesn't look like the same game as we watched Bill's Raven Sunday Night Football week.

[Big Cat]

One question, though. Are we. Are we falling for the JJ McCarthy trap again? Because I, I think that he might have Tebow adjacent qualities about him. I don't think he's like as bad as Tebow was. Obviously, he's. He's good at times, but this is kind of what JJ does. He gets everybody saying that he sucks and then he starts playing really good.

[PFT Commenter]

And then he's also got his defense playing. Ben, don't break perfectly. That's all JJ.

[Big Cat]

Yep.

[PFT Commenter]

That's JJ McCarthy.

[Big Cat]

That's leadership.

[PFT Commenter]

Yeah. All right, let's get into it. Let's, let's, let's start with. Let's rip off the band aid. Lions 52, Bears 21. I want to start with the Lions because I don't want to just not mention how good the Lions looked because they looked so good. They were everything that we thought Week one. Oh, no, they're going to have problems. Their offensive line, their. Their new coordinator basically erased. Jared Goff played perfect football. He was 23 for. For or. Sorry. At 23 for 28. Five touchdown passes. I don't think he got sacked once. The Lions had 511 yards, 52 points on 58 plays. 52 points on 58 plays. They almost scored a point of play.

[Big Cat]

It's crazy.

[PFT Commenter]

It's insane. They. They were doing it all. They were doing the Aman Ross St. Brown was just feasting. Three touchdowns. The big shot to JMO. Everything, everything worked for them. They ran for 177. They passed for 334. The Lions looked absolutely fine. Like the team that we've come to expect the last two years that was put to rest.

[Big Cat]

Yeah, I mean, they looked unstoppable. Their offense looked awesome. Their defense looked pretty good too, at times. They kind of, they kind of rub it in your face a little bit with that one turnover where they did the, the Ben Johnson celebration. Where they did the fumble play.

[PFT Commenter]

Yep.

[Big Cat]

Fake fumble play that, that Jared Goff ran last year. They had that planned out as a celebration to use against the Bears.

[PFT Commenter]

Yep.

[Big Cat]

It did feel a little bit personal.

[PFT Commenter]

That's okay.

[Big Cat]

I, I knew that the Lions were going to win this game. When Dan Campbell said we have to win this game. Yeah, he talked himself into a lather. And when Dan Campbell's desperate, that's a man you don't want to fuck with.

[PFT Commenter]

Yeah. Yeah. And so, you know, I mean, listen, the, the Lions, they, they kick the shit out of the Bears. What, they're going to do a celebration. They're going to enjoy it. I'm sure it wasn't like super personal because Ben Johnson and Dan Campbell. Dan Campbell said he's still my friend, but yeah, they wanted to, they wanted to show that they're fine without him.

[Big Cat]

Did there's a lot of Campbell say that or did Ben Johnson say it?

[PFT Commenter]

I think Dan Campbell said it before.

[Big Cat]

Because they're both confirmed. Both friends.

[PFT Commenter]

Both friends. Both friends. But yeah, they, they. I'm sure there's a chip on the shoulder for the Lions guys to be like, hey, we're were a really good team otherwise.

[Big Cat]

Yeah.

[PFT Commenter]

So. And they proved it.

[Big Cat]

It was an ass kicking. Now I, I thought that there were some things that you could take away from it. If you want some takeaway, some positive takeaways.

[PFT Commenter]

I don't want positive takeaways. I don't want any positive takeaways.

[Big Cat]

You want one?

[PFT Commenter]

No. This team sucks. This team sucks. This organization sucks. The only Roma Dunes was good.

[Big Cat]

Yep. That was going to be my positive takeaway.

[PFT Commenter]

Caleb wasn't the main problem. Notice how I phrase that? He still didn't like it wasn't. It wasn't like he lit the world on fire. But I wouldn't say he was the main problem. The defense has now given up 694 yards and 73 points in the last five quarters of football. That's impossible.

[Big Cat]

It's hard to do.

[PFT Commenter]

And the main culprit is Ryan polls because we are now in Year four of a rebuild, and you guys probably didn't see this, but it was obviously big for Bears fans and on Bears Twitter in this game, Ryan Poles, top 10 pick, tight end Colson Loveland had zero receptions. His second round pick, wide receiver Luther Burden had zero receptions. His second round offensive tackle pick was a healthy scratch. His second round defensive tackle was a healthy scratch. It's absolutely abysmal. Year four of a rebuild and they're somehow worse after Ryan Po's had two, two number one picks, obviously traded one of them a ton of shots at it. He did the press conference when he got hired and said, we're going to take the north and give it back. He is now 3 and 17 versus the NFC North. 3 and 17 versus the NFC North. It's absolutely a joke. And I feel bad for Ben Johnson because he inherited this and he probably, you know, $13 million, a lot of money, but he probably is looking around being like, fuck, this is a mess.

[Big Cat]

Just quick fact check, Luther Burden. I'm seeing that he had one reception.

[PFT Commenter]

Oh, he did.

[Big Cat]

For five yards.

[PFT Commenter]

Okay, so he had one reception. Great.

[Big Cat]

So, yeah, Colson Loveland, that probably when.

[PFT Commenter]

The game lasted 17 hours, it was still going on like a. Like when the Chiefs and.

[Big Cat]

And Eagles kicked off, the game was still going on. After the Giants and the Cowboys finished.

[PFT Commenter]

Yeah, in overtime.

[Big Cat]

Pretty crazy. And they went to zero. In overtime, the clock struck zero. This game was still happening. I don't know why it lasted that long. Colson Loveland, I think, is going to be a fine player, but.

[PFT Commenter]

Well, it doesn't help that Tyler Warren looks awesome.

[Big Cat]

Yeah, he does. He looks really good.

[PFT Commenter]

Ryan Poles has not had a single Pro Bowler drafted.

[Big Cat]

That's pretty crazy.

[PFT Commenter]

That's pretty hard to do. And he's had a lot of top picks.

[Big Cat]

I agree that Caleb Williams was not the problem.

[PFT Commenter]

He wasn't the main problem.

[Big Cat]

He wasn't the main problem today. He wasn't. He wasn't a solution.

[PFT Commenter]

The interception was really bad.

[Big Cat]

Interception was ridiculous.

[PFT Commenter]

And then people were like, you asked for more interceptions. I did not ask for that type of interception. I asked for the interception where he's taking a shot to hit a guy downfield. Not he can just throw the ball away and instead he throws the ball away into the lion's hand.

[Big Cat]

I think he. Yeah, he was trying to. To throw the ball away. But then that's almost more concerning because he wasn't accurate enough to hit the sideline. Yeah, the entire sideline.

[PFT Commenter]

No, this seems bad. I'm actually upset at myself. For letting people, like, be like, you're being too hard on them. After week one, I probably wasn't hard enough. This defense is a joke. The offensive line was. Was invested in heavily is not good enough. Caleb Williams has not taken enough steps forward and the roster again, we're on year four of a rebuild where you had two times, you had the number one pick, and this is the output. This is how bad it is. And he's like, he's 50. Ryan Poe is 15 and 38 in his tenure. 15 and 38. That's insane. And like. And he got an extension two months ago. I honestly wish, like, the Bears would just be like, who knows what Ben Johnson will be as a coach, But I would. I would be totally down with them to be like, hey, Ryan polls, you're gone. Ben Johnson, this is your roster. Trade anyone you want. Trade some of these guys before the trade deadline this year. Get as many picks as possible and I guess just do a rebuild again. So just build the mo. Build the team in your. In your image, in your mold, and guess what? It could end up exactly at this point. But the fact that we're at this point after four years of rebuilding is an absolute joke.

[Big Cat]

I was wondering about that. When they announced the Ryan Poles extension. What. What did he do that made them say, yeah, this is our guy. He's done a great job? Because ultimately, you have to be judged based on if your football team is good at playing football.

[PFT Commenter]

Can I tell you what? I. I honestly think what happened was, I think that just the fact that he was able to negotiate an extension makes him a genius negotiator.

[Big Cat]

That's a good point.

[PFT Commenter]

I was going to say the fact, like, very meta. But like, him. Him convincing George McCassey to give him more money. He was like, holy, this guy's good.

[Big Cat]

I was going to say, record's not there. The fact that he. He signed Ben Johnson.

[PFT Commenter]

Yeah.

[Big Cat]

A coach that you think is going to be good, that was good enough for them to say, okay, we got the guy that we didn't think that we're going to get. We're not going to wait and see how it plays out. Good job, Ryan Pool.

[PFT Commenter]

Yeah, he got Ben Johnson.

[Big Cat]

He's an excellent. He's like a headhunter.

[PFT Commenter]

Right. But the Bears also, and it's early, so I'm going to have patient with. Patience with Ben Johnson. I'm not going to. Anyone who's like, he. He's a bad coach after two games. That's crazy. But they are not. They're Playing like dog shit. And they're very penalized. They had eight penalties for 50 yards today, which actually was a step in the right direction because it was 12 for 127 on Monday night Football. And I like Ryan Bowles as a guy, but this is just. You can't. You. How can you look at this record and this roster and have this many guys that you drafted in the first three rounds not contributing? Like that's how this works in the NFL. You draft. When you draft guys in the first round, in the second round, they have to contribute right away. Otherwise what are you doing?

[Big Cat]

It is crazy to think that on Thanksgiving last year this game was way more competitive.

[PFT Commenter]

Yeah.

[Big Cat]

And Bears should have won that game.

[PFT Commenter]

And this, this game had like. I think it's rotten to the core in a way because this game had a very similar vibe of the. After the Hail Mary last year where the team quit, it felt like the team kind of quit after halftime when the refs kind of up that spotting of of the ball. Obviously it didn't matter. The lines were going to win this game 100 times out of 100 today. But then they score with like three seconds left. It felt like the team quit. And so what's, what's the fix for that? Like you gotta just. You're. You're at the end of a rebuild and now you have to clean it out again because it just doesn't feel like they have fight. Yeah.

[Big Cat]

The other thing I, I could say would be a positive takeaway. DeAndre Swift did not look bad when he was running the ball.

[PFT Commenter]

No. Yeah, he ran. He ran hard.

[Big Cat]

And then.

[PFT Commenter]

Yeah.

[Big Cat]

At the end of the first half I was confused by that because it seemed like their explanation. They let the first of all, they let the Giants run a play. So what happened?

[PFT Commenter]

The Lions.

[Big Cat]

Yeah, yeah, yeah, the Lions. Jerry Goff hit Tesla down the sideline for a one. Another one handed catch Y from the rookie that now has the two craziest first catches of all time in NFL history. Because he had that one hander last week for a touchdown. So he catches it with one hand. Then the Lions ran a play where they spiked it with what looked to be like half second left on the clock.

[PFT Commenter]

Yeah.

[Big Cat]

So they could kick a field goal. Then the refs went back and reviewed the play before the spike and said yeah, the clock operator screwed it up. So we're going to do a 10 second runoff. You still have six seconds left. Yeah, I don't understand that because after you, after you run the play where.

[PFT Commenter]

You spike it they screwed it up. Screwed up the spotting. He didn't realize that he was down in bounds. Yeah, whatever. It doesn't matter. None of this matters.

[Big Cat]

What I was going to say is the. Because this is the second time that's happened in two weeks where they've like reviewed a play that by the, by the rule you shouldn't be allowed to review, but ultimately you make the right decision because like you want them, you want, you want the plays on the field to matter and be called. Right. The NFL just needs to say you can only review the last play before the next play. Unless the next play is a spike because that's the second time that it's happening. Yeah, teams run up to the ball too quick and it screws everything up. So just put that in the rulebook.

[PFT Commenter]

And I was mad in the moment because it was, it was the difference of, you know, at halftime it was going to be, I think it was going to be what, a seven point game? So it was like, oh, we can fight, but it doesn't fucking matter. The Lions were so much better and then the Bears quit and they stink. And I don't know, I, They're a four win team at most. I don't know what. I'm happy I didn't get. I'm happy that every time you guys prodded me trying to get more out of than six out of 10, I didn't, I didn't go up. Up from that because. Yeah, I looked through their schedule earlier. I mean, who are they going to beat?

[Big Cat]

Okay, I'll give you some wins. Cowboys at home.

[PFT Commenter]

The Cowboys offense is awesome. The Cowboys offense is awesome. The Cowboys, if the Bears play. Can I read this stat for you again? In the last five quarters, the Bears given up 694.

[Big Cat]

Yeah.

[PFT Commenter]

And 73 points.

[Big Cat]

Okay. It's not good.

[PFT Commenter]

The Cowboys offense is going to light us up. Saints at home maybe. Saints fight. The Saints actually fight where the Bears.

[Big Cat]

Don'T at the Bengals commander's revenge game.

[PFT Commenter]

Jake Browning is fine.

[Big Cat]

Home against the Giants.

[PFT Commenter]

Giants probably. Jackson Dart will be awesome by then. Brown's at home maybe, but that might be Dylan.

[Big Cat]

Gabriel Deshaun might come back and. Yeah, okay.

[PFT Commenter]

Nothing on packers at home. No, not.

[Big Cat]

Haven't beaten you at home this year.

[PFT Commenter]

Nothing on this list makes you think like, oh, they could, they could. I mean, they're not a good team right now. Hopefully Ben Johnson, you know, gets things going in the right direction. And maybe Caleb, like I said, he wasn't the major problem today. I know he's the easy Scapegoat. And he had some nice throws and he had, you know, he did have the sacks and the interception, but he had a couple where he let it rip. Hopefully he gets better and better and then maybe they can start playing some competent football. But the defense is a joke and they've. It's crazy. The amount of resources, like the amount of like money that's been spent and the draft capital and everything to have this type of output is a fucking joke.

[Big Cat]

I forgot that you had the number one pick overall twice.

[PFT Commenter]

Twice.

[Big Cat]

I forgot about that.

[PFT Commenter]

And he. And, and they basically got rid of everyone and like cleared the whole balance book and had nothing but cap space. M. It's a joke. So I. Yeah. What are you going to do? They suck. And until they start to show that they don't suck, I'm going to keep saying they suck.

[Big Cat]

Well, also, they did have the number one pick twice, but they also traded the number one pick one of those times for a pick that ended up being the future number one pick and more picks. So they turned the number one overall pick into the next number one again.

[PFT Commenter]

No Pro Bowlers.

[Big Cat]

No Pro Bowlers.

[PFT Commenter]

No Pro Bowlers selected by Ryan Pulse through four years. That's kind of hard to do, especially considering how many guys just make the Pro bowl because people sit out. Yeah, like, Ryan Pace was way better. The guy who, who preceded him and he, and, and he made the. Put the Bears in a bad spot, but he was way better of a GM through whatever, four years. It's crazy. It's crazy. So it's dark times. It's.

[Big Cat]

It's kind of weird because the Bears are still in there. This was a rebuilding year no matter what because you have Ben Johnson as a first year head coach. Caleb, being on a second year makes it tough to call it a rebuilding year because this is actually, this is the step forward year.

[PFT Commenter]

It's the fourth year of a rebuild. This isn't. You can't do rebuilding forever. Like, you eventually have to be like, hey, you've made all these picks. You've created this roster. There has to be some accountability. Has to start showing up on the field. Like, I didn't expect the Bears to be a playoff team this year, but it had to be a step forward because you can't just say every year's a rebuilding year.

[Big Cat]

They've been rebuilding four years at Chicago highway for the last four years.

[PFT Commenter]

But it's. You know what I'm saying? Like, you can't just say rebuilding year every year. Even though they've had all these picks and all these resources.

[Big Cat]

How long is this contract for?

[PFT Commenter]

Who knows? I don't even. I don't think they announced like five years probably. So now this would be a real test if George McCaskey can. Can stop, you know, roughing youth soccer and maybe be like, hey, we should just eat this contract and let Ben Johnson run the team. And again, that might end up bad, too. But at least the alternative is to just keep doing the bad thing that's been hap. That's been bad for four years. Or maybe try something new.

[Big Cat]

Maybe just have the owner be the gm like Jerry Jones.

[PFT Commenter]

Man, he doesn't know football. That's the problem. So, yeah, it's a disaster. And Lions are good. So credit to the Lions. They. They look like they're going to be just fine. And you can tell by like in the locker room, this was a meaningful win for them. And like the chip on the shoulder and it also by the transitive property, the packers might be really, really good.

[Big Cat]

They could be.

[PFT Commenter]

Yeah.

[Big Cat]

I think that the NFL is just so much week to week, packers are really good. We know that. They're a very good team. But I think the Lions weren't as bad as they looked week one.

[PFT Commenter]

No, of course they're not. The Bears are as bad as they look today.

[Big Cat]

And the Lion, Jared Goff is always scoring 50 points.

[PFT Commenter]

Yeah, it's.

[Big Cat]

It's just like in his DNA. Yeah, the guy is really good at playing quarterback. Put respect on Jared Goff's name.

[PFT Commenter]

I agree. Yeah, he played perfect quarterbacking today. Like, perfect. And he was. He was just seeing everything. Amon Ra is an absolute monster. Like, every single time he was across the middle, he would catch and just, you know, an extra 20 yards.

[Big Cat]

Did Jared apologize to you?

[PFT Commenter]

No, I text him. I just said, at least. At least my friend can benefit from the dumpster fire of this organization. He hasn't hit me back yet. I only did. I only texted him like 20 minutes ago. So we'll see. I'm sure he will. He'll be like, it's not that bad. But it is.

[Big Cat]

It's pretty bad.

[PFT Commenter]

Yeah. All right, next one, really great game. Bengals 31, Jaguars 27.

[Big Cat]

It's a great game.

[PFT Commenter]

Big story, though. Joe Burrow toe injury out for possibly maybe the rest of the season.

[Big Cat]

So, yeah, the toe, turf toe is one of the injuries that they should rebrand. They got a. A bad marketing team. Turf toe. Because turf toe, like, just cut your foot off. It's really like a bottom of the foot injury. And if your toe is up, like they say that Joe Burrow's toe might be up, he might be done for the entire year, which sucks. Sucks for Bengals fans.

[PFT Commenter]

It also is just another reminder that, you know, remember when Joe Burrow gave the speech about the windows always open? This is what happens. It's just. It's every. Every year in the NFL is so fleeting and so random, and it sucks a lot for Joe Burrow. I hope he. I hope he's able to figure out a way to. To still play this year. But I think what I see. I saw three months, possibly. Dr. Dan told me that it might need surgery because it's grade three.

[Big Cat]

They said that he's going to consider surgery. So it's bad. Grade 3 would mean that it was, like, completely torn.

[PFT Commenter]

Yeah.

[Big Cat]

Which means, yes, surgery. And then I saw another doctor online saying this is season ending. It's not really three. Three months is, like, the most optimistic time frame. So that sucks for Bengals fans. Joe Burrow is so fun to watch. He played so good last year. I was looking forward to seeing him play again this year with maybe a better defense and seeing what they could do. That sucks. It turns out you got a decent backup. I think. I think Jake Browning is. Is okay, but.

[PFT Commenter]

Yeah, he did.

[Big Cat]

He did.

[PFT Commenter]

But I loved his last drive. He also threw three picks.

[Big Cat]

There's a. There's a guy out there. There's a guy out there. He's not getting playing time anytime soon.

[PFT Commenter]

Talking about Kirk Cousins.

[Big Cat]

I could talk about Kirk Cousins. That would be one of them. But then the other is Jamis.

[PFT Commenter]

Oh, I thought you're talking about Colin Kaepernick.

[Big Cat]

Imagine Jamis with those weapons.

[PFT Commenter]

James, those weapons.

[Big Cat]

Think about it. Think about Jamis with T. Higgins, Jameis with Jamar Chase. That's what I want. That's what the people want to see.

[PFT Commenter]

Yeah.

[Big Cat]

So give the people what they want.

[PFT Commenter]

And Jake Browning was good on that last drive. He took the Bengals 15 play, 92 yards, down three. He was like 9 for 13 for 65 yards on that drive. There was a very controversial pass interference call on Travis Hunter, which was not pass interference. I think we can all agree that just wasn't pass interference. That was almost perfect defensive football. And so there's a little bit. I mean, they just fucked that up. I don't know what to say. They, like, he made a great play on the ball.

[Big Cat]

It's awesome.

[PFT Commenter]

Second didn't hold him or anything. That the Jaguars got screwed. Yeah.

[Big Cat]

And also I'm going to defend Liam Cohen for a second okay, so he. He decided to go for it in 4th and 5. What was the exact scenario there, guys? Was he. They were. They were up three, I believe, and they went forward on fourth and five deep. Inside the Jaguars or inside the Bengals territory.

[PFT Commenter]

Yep.

[Big Cat]

They didn't get it. Then the Bengals go, and the Bengals win the game. And they cover. Sorry, Max. Liam Cohen, after the game said, analytics tell me 100 of the time that is the right call, because you don't want to. You want to make them have to score a touchdown, essentially. And I'm going to defend him. And there's nobody I can say that I believe in Liam Cohen, but there's nobody better to make the case than when Jason Garrett gets on TV and says how strongly he disagrees.

[PFT Commenter]

Yep.

[Big Cat]

With Liam Cohen's decision, like, he was smiling. He's like, these newfangled stats, numbers, guys. So happy to see them get burned by this, because sometimes a coach has to go with his gut. Jason Garrett absolutely loved the fact that it didn't work because Jason Garrett would not have gone. Gone for it.

[PFT Commenter]

So. So is he saying that if you kick the field goal, then you only lose by one?

[Big Cat]

He said.

[PFT Commenter]

He said that it was much easier path for Jake Browning to go down the field knowing that he also could get a field goal. Got it. Yeah, got it. So.

[Big Cat]

Which makes no sense.

[PFT Commenter]

No.

[Big Cat]

Oh, no, Sorry. It was a. It was a tie game.

[PFT Commenter]

Oh, it was a tie game, right? No, they were down.

[Big Cat]

They were down three.

[PFT Commenter]

No, the Jaguars are up three. So they could have made it up. And I. Yeah, you got to go for it there. You win the game. If you get that, you win the game. He said the only reason Jake Browning scored a touchdown was because he knew that he also could have gotten a field goal.

[Big Cat]

And if he.

[PFT Commenter]

And if he was driving knowing he needed to get a touchdown, it wouldn't have been as successful. I think it's no sense, and I actually think it's the reverse. When you're. When you're down six, you now have all four downs for the rest of the drive because you know you have to score a touchdown.

[Big Cat]

Just hearing Jason Garrett talk about it was like, you. I know exactly what you're thinking, Jason. You would not have gone for it. That's why. That's why you're not a coach anymore.

[PFT Commenter]

Also, was this. What are you gonna say? Trouble in Paradise? Well. Oh, with Liam Cohen and Trevor Lawrence. Yeah. There's a little. Little back and forth that went on. I would say the real Trouble in Paradise is. Is Brian Thomas Junior. Okay. Because that was a weird game from him. There were so many alligator arms from today and he does not want to get hit. One of them directly led to a interception. I think another one. I think it might have been the fourth and five when he alligator armed another time. It feels like something's up with that.

[Big Cat]

Yeah, well, he doesn't practice hard per Pete Priscoe. And he had, he did have like a. A second half I think last week where he got mad at Trevor Lawrence for not getting the ball. I. I think they might not be on the same page.

[PFT Commenter]

Yeah.

[Big Cat]

I think. And then by extension now I think Trevor might be in Liam Cohen's doghouse because waved him off. They got into a little argument that was on camera on the field. And also after the game last week, Liam Cohen said like not nice things about Trevor Lawrence.

[PFT Commenter]

Yeah.

[Big Cat]

He said, what do you say? Like he didn't have a great third quarter. We need to be more accurate. I like that from, from Cohen though, using the term we. Yeah, like we need to be more accurate at throwing the football.

[PFT Commenter]

He's part of all of us. It's. It's both of them together. Yeah. Brian Thomas Jr. Had eight of eight of Trevor Lawrence's 18 incompletions were targets to Brian Thomas Jr. It. I don't know what it is, but if you watch some of this game and you saw some of the plays, I don't think he wants to get hit and that's not going to. And I know some people are like, well, there's been hospital passes to him. I get it. But like some of these drops and some of these plays, this was the. Yeah, the interception was bad. He basically. You could see it. It hit his hands and he felt someone coming after him and he kind of basically bailed on the entire play at the last second, like slow and it went right into. Yeah. Bengals players hands.

[Big Cat]

Yeah, that's not. It's not good. Yeah, there's going to be. There's going to be some fallout. I don't know. Liam Cohen's got his work cut out for him.

[PFT Commenter]

So I have a weird Jake Browning stat for you too that might be ominous for the Jaguars. So if you remember two years ago. I believe it was. Yeah. Two years ago the Jaguars were eight and three feeling good. Monday Night Football, Jake Browning beat them in overtime. And from that moment on the jaguars have gone 5 and 18. And then you had this year, they win the opening week. They're feeling good. Liam Cohn. Jake Browning beats him. The J. The Jaguars might be in A free fall again. Just because Jake Browning.

[Big Cat]

Because of Browning.

[PFT Commenter]

Yeah. It's basically started the last free fall.

[Big Cat]

Remember that game? For many, many reasons.

[PFT Commenter]

Yeah.

[Big Cat]

Including some of the camera angles that they use for that one. The Bengals, however, they're two and, oh, that's the first time since two, 2018 that they've been 2, 0. It feels like this is a week that they do make a move, though.

[PFT Commenter]

Because, like, I try to get someone.

[Big Cat]

I, I. Kirk Cousins might not be a bad option.

[PFT Commenter]

Jake Browning isn't bad.

[Big Cat]

Kirk also.

[PFT Commenter]

He's also an awl.

[Big Cat]

Yeah, well, I, I think they're kidding themselves if they think that they have a chance to win playoff games of Jake Browning.

[PFT Commenter]

Yeah. But Joe Burrow might be back.

[Big Cat]

Joe, bro, I don't know. He's getting a second opinion.

[PFT Commenter]

He could be bad.

[Big Cat]

He needs to go to a really shitty doctor to get the second opinion.

[PFT Commenter]

They also have a really hard schedule coming up. They play at the Vikings, at the Broncos, Lions, Packers.

[Big Cat]

I think they're gonna. I think they're gonna try to make a move.

[PFT Commenter]

Jamis would be so much fun by, by the way, shout out Jamar Chase. He is just the best. 14 catches, 158 yards, and a touchdown. That's. That's kind of like the, hey, we could maybe win with Jake Browning because we have Jamar Chase and. And T. Higgins.

[Big Cat]

Well, it's going to be. Just throw the ball to Jamar.

[PFT Commenter]

Yeah.

[Big Cat]

Jake, this is how you do it. If you, if you want a chance, just force feed Jamar like, like a foie gras goose. And, and let's see what the offense can do. I like the idea of saying chilling with Harambe, Jameis Winston, Cincinnati.

[PFT Commenter]

I do, too.

[Big Cat]

That's close enough.

[PFT Commenter]

Oh, I should also say, I think pound for pound, my favorite play in football, the funniest play possible in football is when a quarterback runs so far past the line of scrimmage and still throws it. Trevor Lawrence had one today that was like five yards past. It was so funny.

[Big Cat]

And then when they look around, like, what?

[PFT Commenter]

Yeah, I do it so, so funny. It's my favorite thing. Also, this game had a green dildo thrown onto the field, and the refs thought that it was a flag. The graphics thought it was a flag. They put up the flag right away. It was a perfectly timed dildo toss right after a touchdown.

[Big Cat]

And I would support having a green dildo icon that pops up on the screen. Yeah, that happens enough so that. That way the people at home know exactly what it was. We don't think it was a flag.

[PFT Commenter]

What happens if a green dildo gets thrown in a Nickelodeon game?

[Big Cat]

Slime. You get slime.

[PFT Commenter]

Oh, no, that was just slime.

[Big Cat]

If you hit somebody, get slimed. Yeah, I hope that. Do I hope that happens or do I hope that doesn't happen?

[PFT Commenter]

Well, it's a regular NFL game, so it's not like any different. They probably would just ignore it.

[Big Cat]

Yeah, they probably will have a protocol.

[PFT Commenter]

They probably will have a situation.

[Big Cat]

It's probably on like a three second delay.

[PFT Commenter]

Yeah.

[Big Cat]

Just in case something weird like if there's a fight. What are they going to do in the, in the Nickelodeon game? Yeah, if the green dildo they go to fight Protocol.

[PFT Commenter]

They got to make sure they have something to talk about. Spongebob comes and picks it up.

[Big Cat]

Yeah.

[PFT Commenter]

With a stinky bubble. Is that SpongeBob? Stinky bubble. Yeah. Credit to Bengals, though. But terrible news for the Bengals. Like this was a we're two and oh, but holy shit, not again. Because it sucks two times the last three years. The Joe Burrow is going to miss significant amount of time.

[Big Cat]

Yeah, it's a bummer. I, I, Kirk Cousins would make a lot of sense.

[PFT Commenter]

Kirk Cousins make sense. Jameis would be so much fun. You're right.

[Big Cat]

Kirk Cousins would like. If you're thinking about who to settle down with as opposed to who to have a fun time with, Kirk Cousins makes sense to settle down. Although he'd look weird in that, in that helmet. I don't know how that would end up working.

[PFT Commenter]

Jameis with these receivers, though. James, 5,000 yards. Even though he's he even if he showed up week three, I think if James 50. Yeah.

[Big Cat]

Jameis Winston joins the Bengals. Mark this down. He's going to break. What's his name? Norm Van Brocklin.

[PFT Commenter]

Yeah.

[Big Cat]

His single game passing record, which has stood since the 50s, which is only like 550. That's a lot of yards. 550 yards. But still shocking to me that that hasn't been broken since then.

[PFT Commenter]

Yeah. Okay. Speaking of, we had the game of the early slate. The Cowboys, Giants. Cowboys 40, Giants 37. Russell Wilson heard all the noise because Russell Wilson was 2 yards shy of his career high. 450 yards, 30 for 41 deep ball magic, three touchdowns and then a really bad interception in overtime. The costume.

[Big Cat]

Well, it's because his moon ball is just so catchable. It is even for defensive backs sometimes. Big Cat, if I were to ask you who the two league leaders and passing yards are, who would you guess?

[PFT Commenter]

Russell Wilson.

[Big Cat]

Yes. He is number one and Joe Flacco, Daniel Jones.

[PFT Commenter]

Oh, okay.

[Big Cat]

Two of the Giants to the Giants. Russell Wilson leads the league in passing yards right now. He did look good today when he was mailing it out and I, I thought Jackson dart looked pretty good too.

[PFT Commenter]

For his one or two plays.

[Big Cat]

Yeah, for his one or two plays.

[PFT Commenter]

He, I think he handed off to scatter.

[Big Cat]

He had some great handoffs.

[PFT Commenter]

One carry for negative three yards. There we go.

[Big Cat]

The handoffs were there.

[PFT Commenter]

Malik Neighbors was sensational. This game was so much fun. There was 41 points scored in the fourth quarter. 41 points scored in the fourth quarter. And it was Brandon Aubrey who's an absolute stud. I know we had this discussion. I think we mentioned his name when we talked about the best kicker in, in football, it being Boswell. And then we said maybe also Aubrey Aubrey I think is the best kicker because 64 yarder at the end of regulation. It looks so easy for him. It looks so easy. It was good. It had distance for another like 10 yards easily.

[Big Cat]

Yeah, it, it would have been good from 70. It was crazy. It was an awesome kick. He just doesn't miss. If you were to do a redraft of players and let's take all the quarterbacks out of it, how high would Brandon Aubrey go?

[PFT Commenter]

Ryan polls would take him in the first round. Take him 1, 1.

[Big Cat]

Like everyone is a free agent. I think, I think you could make a case he could be a first round pick.

[PFT Commenter]

No, not even close. I appreciate it because he is awesome.

[Big Cat]

I'm talking non quarterbacks.

[PFT Commenter]

I know exactly what you said because.

[Big Cat]

He won this game.

[PFT Commenter]

I know exactly what you said.

[Big Cat]

He literally won this game. No chance for the Dallas Cowboys.

[PFT Commenter]

No chance. I listen, Brandon Aubrey's awesome. Yeah, that is a crazy statement. Think about the offensive and defensive line. They would just be there, just be a run on the best, the best guys.

[Big Cat]

Okay, I'll say this. If you took a quarterback or how.

[PFT Commenter]

Many more positions are we going to erase? If you just drafted specialists, he would be 1 overall.

[Big Cat]

Of course. It's not even close.

[PFT Commenter]

Not even close.

[Big Cat]

I, I don't think it's crazy to say that if he entered the NFL draft year, if somehow he got reclassified back and he wasn't in the NFL, was eligible to be drafted, there would be a team that would take him to second round.

[PFT Commenter]

Ah, I don't know.

[Big Cat]

Yes, yes, 100% there would be a team that would take him in the second round.

[PFT Commenter]

Yeah, I don't, I don't know. I mean he's a really good kicker, but I I still think they would. Teams would probably still take lineman first. Guys like that.

[Big Cat]

I'm saying build your franchise. I'm saying he, he is so much better than any other kicker in the NFL. It's crazy.

[PFT Commenter]

Well, I mean, he's. I mean, Boswell's really good.

[Big Cat]

Boswell's really good. Aubrey.

[PFT Commenter]

I don't, I don't know if the difference between Aubrey and Boswell is significant enough that he would be like, no doubt second rounder.

[Big Cat]

Look, look up and see what are boswell Stats from 50 plus. Because Aubrey, stats from 50 plus.

[PFT Commenter]

Yeah, he's been awesome.

[Big Cat]

Are nuts. I think he's like 80% from 50 yards plus.

[PFT Commenter]

Yeah, he's been awesome. I mean, maybe it goes second round, but yeah, he would definitely not be a first rounder if you drafted the entire NFL without quarterbacks. There's just no way.

[Big Cat]

Who'd you take in the first round?

[PFT Commenter]

Like every single edge rusher and left tackle.

[Big Cat]

Jalen hurts.

[PFT Commenter]

Oh, because he's not a quarterback. I like that, actually. Like that.

[Big Cat]

We'll get to that. Just say we won the game.

[PFT Commenter]

Max. Do you like that?

[Big Cat]

I think Boswell is also very good.

[PFT Commenter]

From 50. He is. Yeah. Yeah. No, he's very good from.

[Big Cat]

From 50 plus, according to AI, he's 43. 43 of his last 52 attempts.

[PFT Commenter]

That's really good. Pretty good plus. Yeah. No, Aubrey just makes it look easy. That's the thing too, is he doesn't. It doesn't look like he's trying really hard when he kicks. Yeah, I think he goes.

[Big Cat]

He's also got a stronger leg. But also with the Giants, they. They're very frustrating because they should have won this game. Oh, yeah, they definitely should have won this game. They had 160 yards of penalties, 14 penalties for 160 yards.

[PFT Commenter]

Now, I think like 60 of them were on the same play and player, but yeah.

[Big Cat]

Okay, well, they also.

[PFT Commenter]

James Hudson was penalized four times on one possession. He had 40 yards of penalties on one possession.

[Big Cat]

Was that the offensive lineman that they sat down? Yeah, he had the funniest play of the day by far.

[PFT Commenter]

Yes.

[Big Cat]

His. His right slap. It was like a slap. Yeah, he put on the defensive end, just wound up and whacked the. Out of the side of his face. And then he got upset for being penalized. Like, I, I wish that play was legal. Deacon Jones used to do it as a defensive end for a long time, but, like, this was. It was just straight up a punch that he gave.

[PFT Commenter]

Watch this. Boom. Smashed him. Absolutely smashed him. I do you Think there's. By the way, Dak Prescott. That was his 14th straight win against the Giants. That's the second longest record against one single opponent. Win record against one single opponent. Bob Griesy, number one. Bob Griesy had 17 wins against the Bills from 1968 to 1979. Tom Brady had 13 straight wins versus the Bills from 2003 to 2010. So Dak Prescott, 14 straight. That's crazy. He just beats the Giants every single time.

[Big Cat]

I love watching Cam Scatterboo play. Yeah, he's gonna. He's gonna be a good NFL player.

[PFT Commenter]

Wrecking ball.

[Big Cat]

It's so fun. He loves contact. Runs into people, just flip. Throws his body around. And he's so much bigger and stronger than a lot of the guys that are trying to tackle him. They need to give him more touches.

[PFT Commenter]

Yeah. Do you guys think Jerry Jones had any second thoughts about Mike Parsons through two games? Considering the fact his offense. The Cowboys offense, is very good. It looks explosive.

[Big Cat]

The giants only had 84 yards rushing today. Big Cat.

[PFT Commenter]

Oh, okay. So they stopped to run.

[Big Cat]

They stopped the run.

[PFT Commenter]

They stopped the run.

[Big Cat]

Yes.

[PFT Commenter]

They stopped the run. The. And I know the Cowboys do have some injuries on defense, but still. And they signed Clowney. They did side Connie, so help on the way. Their offense is awesome, and they're just going to be in these shootout games. And Micah Parsons might have been able to help.

[Big Cat]

Maybe.

[PFT Commenter]

Maybe.

[Big Cat]

Maybe remains to be seen.

[PFT Commenter]

Yeah. But, like, it will be very funny if. It'd be very funny if, like, without Micah Parsons, the Cowboys get to, like, the NFC Championship Game and lose in a shootout to the packers because they don't have Micah Parsons.

[Big Cat]

That would be very.

[PFT Commenter]

It's like, Jerry, you've been searching for this super bowl appearance for the last 30 years, and you literally traded them away right before the season started.

[Big Cat]

I agree. That'd be. That'd be very funny.

[PFT Commenter]

I don't think the Cowboys are that good, but still, I. Their offense is, like. They have a ton of guys that are contributing in their run. Game looks good, and Dak looks healthy.

[Big Cat]

Max, I got a question for you as a fellow NFC east guy. Yep. I know we were both rooting for a tie. That would have been the best outcome for us. But with Micah Parsons being traded to the packers, could you make the argument that that was actually worse for us than it was having him in the division and having to play him twice a year?

[PFT Commenter]

I said this to you on Thursday night. I was like, it's bullshit that Dak Prescott finally gets traded away from the division.

[Big Cat]

And then you play him or. Yeah.

[PFT Commenter]

Michael Parsons gets trade away from the division. You have to play him before you.

[Big Cat]

Would have had to play him on the Cowboys. I'm not even talking about that. I'm just saying for a team like the Eagles and maybe next year for the commanders. That's thinking Soupy. You're probably going to have to go through the Green Bay Packers. Correct. To get there. Right. And to have Mike. Next year.

[PFT Commenter]

Next year.

[Big Cat]

Next year. I said next year.

[PFT Commenter]

Yeah. No, I know.

[Big Cat]

Very. I Very clunky. That was a funny slip in said next year. But then you have to worry about the packers more because they're way more of a present threat than the Cowboys to beat you in the playoffs. And so having him is actually. That's bad. I wish that the Cowboys hadn't done that.

[PFT Commenter]

That's advanced planning by you. No, I like I. I agree with that. Take with that right now I think I Soupy dude. Yeah. Right now I think I would prefer Michael Parsons on the Cowboys.

[Big Cat]

I would too.

[PFT Commenter]

Yeah.

[Big Cat]

Jerry Jones the entire division over.

[PFT Commenter]

Yeah.

[Big Cat]

That's probably why he did it.

[PFT Commenter]

The conference, you mean?

[Big Cat]

Well, the, the division.

[PFT Commenter]

Oh, the division. But the conference.

[Big Cat]

But especially. But especially the.

[PFT Commenter]

Well, no, the division helped you division. He helped you the conference. He hurt you.

[Big Cat]

He really over the NFC North.

[PFT Commenter]

He over everyone.

[Big Cat]

Yeah. Jerry Jones, everything. He should have just sent him to the afc. That's I agree.

[PFT Commenter]

Yeah.

[Big Cat]

You almost went to Jets. Did you see that report Memes. Yeah.

[PFT Commenter]

It would have been a trade for.

[Big Cat]

The jets, but they wanted Quinn and Williams.

[PFT Commenter]

Quinn and Williams in two first round picks. So they would.

[Big Cat]

So if the jets traded that, the.

[PFT Commenter]

Cowboys would be picking top five.

[Big Cat]

Yeah. And the jets said no.

[PFT Commenter]

Jets said no.

[Big Cat]

I'd say we don't have the facilities for that. I'd say good job to the Jets. Yeah, they don't have the facilities.

[PFT Commenter]

Don't have facilities. Last thing Brandon Aubrey was the. Oh oh, Dak Prescott. Did you see he said that he's like a closer and he needs a. A walkout song which would be sick.

[Big Cat]

Yeah.

[PFT Commenter]

A kicker having a walkout song would be awesome.

[Big Cat]

What should Aubrey have?

[PFT Commenter]

I don't know.

[Big Cat]

Kendrick.

[PFT Commenter]

That would be very funny.

[Big Cat]

Yeah.

[PFT Commenter]

Yeah. He was. Yeah. Brandon Aubrey is. Is awesome. And this was the sneaky the. The game of the day, which I don't think we. Anyone expected going into it because Russell Wilson, he just. It was perfectly timed by Russ. He heard all the noise. He's like, I'm just going to chuck it up to Malik Neighbors who Malik Neighbors is an absolute stud which that part is fun for Giants fans that they have. They got I don't know where the Giants like I thought the Giants defense was going to be a lot better than it has been through two games.

[Big Cat]

Well because you would think on paper with that defensive line that was so good last year, yeah, they could do it again.

[PFT Commenter]

But very fun game. Very fun game. All right, game time by the way. Hey, can you look up tickets for tonight?

All right, 49ers 26, saints 21 we told you on Friday this is going to be Kyle Shanahan getting to prove that Mac Jones was always the guy. It started kind of rough for Mac Jones. He had a couple really bad passes to start and then he did well. He had three touchdowns. He ran the offense well. Maybe Mac Jones is the guy and Kyle Shanahan was correct.

[Big Cat]

So I thought that this game was more competitive and this is the twice that the Saints have done this to me where they've played teams tough.

[PFT Commenter]

They are a tough team.

[Big Cat]

I think that's probably on me for going to the season just thinking that the Saints were going to give up on playing football and not really be competitive at all. Turns out that's very hard to do when you have professional football players on your team. So I'm always I've been pleasantly surprised with how the Saints have been playing and at least making interesting games for everybody. But yeah, Mac Jones looked Pretty good Christian McCaffrey looked okay. The Luke Farrell guy that they got at tight end.

[PFT Commenter]

Yeah.

[Big Cat]

He does a great job being in, like, the margarine to George Kittle's butter.

[PFT Commenter]

Yep.

[Big Cat]

It's like, yeah, I wish I had Kittle, but this guy, I guess. I guess he'll do.

[PFT Commenter]

Yeah. If you're. If you're. If you're, like, walking in an airport on an NFL Sunday and you see a TV 100ft away and you see Luke Farrell scoring a touchdown, you can maybe convince yourself that was Kittle.

[Big Cat]

If you're drunk enough, you think that that's Kittle.

[PFT Commenter]

Yeah.

[Big Cat]

Which everybody in New Orleans was.

[PFT Commenter]

Yeah. Yeah. No, the Saints, like, they fight. They're fighting for Kellen Moore. Like, this is a team. They had the ball down five with a couple minutes left, trying to score. They. They. They ran out of time and got, you know, didn't convert a fourth down, but they fight. What do you guys think was going through Kyle Shanahan's head when Eddie Pinero missed his first pat?

[Big Cat]

I hate kickers. Like, every kicker.

[PFT Commenter]

He then ended up making the rest of his PATs and two field goals. So good move, because that would have definitely been at least one Jake Moody miss in a very tight game. But I. It was very funny that the very first P A. T. He missed.

[Big Cat]

Credit to Kyle Shanahan for sending Matt onto the field to attempt field goals after that missed extra point.

[PFT Commenter]

Yes.

[Big Cat]

Because he just might have been done with kickers for forever. Forever at that point.

[PFT Commenter]

Yeah.

[Big Cat]

Yeah, Kyle was. He's probably relieved. They're gonna. They're gonna win a game or two because they have a competent kicker.

[PFT Commenter]

Yeah.

[Big Cat]

As opposed to Moody, who was just stinking it up. And my condolences, Big cat. Listen, that's Ryan po's move.

[PFT Commenter]

Yeah. Ryan polls. He's like, hey, we got a third round draft pick or whatever Moody was, which is way too high. Now we have a third round draft pick kicker and a fourth round draft pick punter.

[Big Cat]

Pretty good.

[PFT Commenter]

Wow. It's basically like you're the gm.

[Big Cat]

Yeah. Which is not what you want. Not what you want.

[PFT Commenter]

Yeah, I'm. I'm. I'm impressed. Saints at least fighting. I know that sounds like loser talk, but, like, Spencer Rattler, he. He's okay. He's running the offense in an okay way. He played pretty good today. And it's like, they're not a very good team. They're in a weird, like, middle phase as a franchise, and they're at least fighting early on in the football season.

[Big Cat]

I think He's. He's a very, very serviceable bridge quarterback. Yeah, he's like a good guy to put. He's not going to like, ruin the confidence of any of your other players while he's the starter for a single season.

[PFT Commenter]

As long as he doesn't get Chris Olave hurt.

[Big Cat]

That's true.

[PFT Commenter]

Yeah.

[Big Cat]

Which he didn't today.

[PFT Commenter]

Yeah, he did not. And the 49ers might be back because 2 and oh start after last year's debacle and they've already. They've already gotten. They're two and oh, and they've already gotten like a ton of injuries that most seem like guys will come back. So credit to 49ers. Got to feel good starting two and oh, they got to play the Cardinals next week, but who have problems of their own, which we'll get to.

[Big Cat]

I feel like Shanahan likes to put some, like, just a little bit of fear into the NFL fan bases out there by just saying, hey, Christian McCaffrey, he was limping around. We're going to hold him out of practice today.

[PFT Commenter]

Yeah.

[Big Cat]

Just to make us all nervous.

[PFT Commenter]

Just make fantasy people. It's actually kind of smart by Kyle Shanahan. It's like he can prove he can shine a light on how ridiculous we all act as, like, sports betters and fantasy football players by just saying, Christian McCaffrey didn't go through all practice watching a bunch of grown men freak out online.

[Big Cat]

Yeah. He hates.

[PFT Commenter]

He pulls a mirror up to our idiocy.

[Big Cat]

I think. I think Kyle Shanan just hates nerds because he hates kickers and he hates people that play fancy football.

[PFT Commenter]

And he is a nerd and he.

[Big Cat]

Is a little bit hates himself. Yeah. Self loathing nerd.

[PFT Commenter]

Yeah. Yeah. Zach, did you have anything on this game? I like, by the way? Zach and memes just sitting here, just the two of them. They don't hate each other.

[Big Cat]

This game scored a lot more points.

[PFT Commenter]

Than I thought was going to be scored. It was fun to watch. Nice.

[Big Cat]

Yeah. So that's the thing is I just.

[PFT Commenter]

Wanted to get you involved a little bit there, Zach, because I realized there's. With the Bucks playing Monday Night Football, there's a chance you might not talk till who's back. That's completely. Felt a little bad looking over there, being like he's just gonna sit here and listen to us podcast for two hours.

[Big Cat]

I bet the under on every single early game today.

[PFT Commenter]

Oh, no.

[Big Cat]

That was a mistake. That was. That was a bad mistake.

[PFT Commenter]

That was what happened last week.

[Big Cat]

That was what happened yes. Well, here's what I thought when I. When I went to bed last night. I was thinking to myself, all right, the Unders just absolutely killed last week. Now everyone's going to think that the overs are going to hit because the opposite is going to happen. So I'm going to fade the people that are fading the trend.

[PFT Commenter]

You checkmated yourself.

[Big Cat]

I checkmated myself.

[PFT Commenter]

Yeah.

[Big Cat]

And lost a lot of money. That's brutal on taking every single under this morning.

[PFT Commenter]

Yeah, that's brutal.

[Big Cat]

Yeah.

[PFT Commenter]

This one actually hit, though. Here we go. Next one. The one that hit. Bills 30, Jets 10.

[Big Cat]

Yep.

[PFT Commenter]

What was that look? You said the overhead. No, the under. The only under.

[Big Cat]

The under. This is a big winner.

[PFT Commenter]

It was the only under in the morning.

[Big Cat]

This was my under of the week.

[PFT Commenter]

Yeah. And it hit bill sturdy. Jets 10, 1 0. No hangover for the Bills. They didn't even play like great. Josh Allen wasn't Superman. Josh Allen. That James Cook run was incredible.

[Big Cat]

It was an amazing run. Although Josh was kind of superman. He got hit in the face, maybe broke his nose.

[PFT Commenter]

Yeah.

[Big Cat]

And was bleeding everywhere. Looked like he was excited to meet Josh Allen.

[PFT Commenter]

Yep. On MVP night.

[Big Cat]

On. Yeah, he knows beers. We know that. And then he. That was a play where he had the ball, like, I think it was a couple plays after he got taken out with the broken nose. The bloody nose. And he had a play where he ran down the sidelines and thought about trying to, like, jump over two people.

[PFT Commenter]

Y.

[Big Cat]

And he didn't press all the buttons, and old Josh would have. And then he was, like, smiling. He's like, yeah, I. I made the right call there.

[PFT Commenter]

I learned.

[Big Cat]

I learned. I figured out that I don't always have to do that.

[PFT Commenter]

Memes does Aaron Glenn cut Michael Clemens for that penalty? Because it would be very funny if Aaron Glenn just cut whoever makes the biggest mistake every single week and then ends up with, like, half a roster by the end of the year. I think they might, but he's another one of those guys that if accountability was a thing, he wouldn't be on the roster because he made all those mistakes last year. And then you think you got to stop on defense, and then all of a sudden, it's like, oh, penalty on Michael Clements. Now, that was. It did look like a flop on Josh Allen.

[Big Cat]

He.

[PFT Commenter]

His nose got battered. No, no, no. On the. On the unnecessary rough. Oh, on the other. To start the game. Yeah. But he did. Because that was. Punch Josh Allen in the face. Yeah. Because the unnecessary rough is. That was like a third and 17 yeah, basically just don't do anything stupid. Get off the field. And then the Bills were off and running and they had. Like I said, it wasn't. It wasn't like a last Sunday night where Josh Allen was just lighting up and passing all over the place. I think he. What do you end up with, like 170 yards or something. But they did spread the ball. I think 10 guys had a carrier catch. And the Bill's defense is really what it was because they got ran on by the Ravens and gave up 40 points. And then they came into MetLife and they completely shut down the jets rushing attack. The jets, outside of. Outside of garbage time, had 18 carries for 76 yards. They never got going. And they basically were like, justin Fields, we dare you to throw. And guess what? They won that dare.

[Big Cat]

That was. That was a good dare to make really good dare 3, 4, 11 today. And then to Rod came in. Do we know how long Justin's gonna be out for?

[PFT Commenter]

He had a concussion. Oh, we don't yet.

[Big Cat]

He might have a concussion.

[PFT Commenter]

So where are we at? Well, we got both ends of the spectrum from last week to this week. For the offense, defense played a little. Okay.

[Big Cat]

The defense played a little.

[PFT Commenter]

A little okay. They were on the field the entire time. And James Cook. The offense didn't do anything. James Cook, his run that kind of opened it up was insane. Yeah. At that point it was just like the jets stink. Like, I don't even know what we're doing. Like some. Some teams are competing for a Super bowl, other teams are just playing dress up on Sunday. How are you feeling about Justin Fields? Not great. You knew that it was going to be a long day from the first throw when he air mailed Garrett Wilson and then it was just over. Yeah.

[Big Cat]

This was definitely the worst. The worst stadium trip that you could have for any home fan base this week. Yeah.

[PFT Commenter]

And apparently it was Justin Field's worst game ever throwing ever. But it's his best offensive line. It is. Guys were open. He just wasn't throwing it.

[Big Cat]

He also had almost 50 yards rushing. Memes. Don't forget that.

[PFT Commenter]

Yeah, that.

[Big Cat]

That was.

[PFT Commenter]

He had one okay run and he missed two wide open guys.

[Big Cat]

Back to back throws.

[PFT Commenter]

How are we memes, me and you? I think I had memes and I had a little bit of a dude to do.

[Big Cat]

What happened?

[PFT Commenter]

Well, we do this every year right around now where we basically are like fighting with each other because both our teams stink. And I accused him because I saw that he tweeted a graphic being like Bears are eliminated from the playoffs. And I was like, where's the jets graphic? He did tweet the jets graphic a few, what, like, 20 minutes after that? Yeah, but every time he looked at the Bears game, it was just the lines. Just. You guys were getting killed. You had a quarterback who threw 3 for 11 for 27 yards. And again, he's our slot. You're taking sloppy seconds from us. Yeah, but that's fine. No, that's way worse.

[Big Cat]

We.

[PFT Commenter]

We're supposed. When you say we, we're supposed to say the Bears suck. What does that say about you that you took our. Our sloppy seconds, but the jets are.

[Big Cat]

Supposed to suck this year. Yeah. You guys have.

[PFT Commenter]

We put out a graphic that for, like, best record on the show. I was. I was in quadruple digits and nobody else was even touching.

[Big Cat]

That means you're saying that you're. You engineered your team to stink.

[PFT Commenter]

Yes.

[Big Cat]

And you did so by taking a Bears quarterback. Correct.

[PFT Commenter]

Got it. Even though that's not what you said all off season. Well, you cried when he got a little foot injury.

[Big Cat]

You called us racist.

[PFT Commenter]

He stubbed his toe, and you yelled at me. Almost left the show. Listen, Memes, we did hash. We did hash it out. Memes and I hashed it out. We agreed that we have to remind ourselves that we're in this together, the two of us. We're the winless teams on PMT right now, and we have to stay together, Memes. We have to have each other's backs. Did I go and do an accounting of how many times you tweeted about the Bears versus how many times you tweeted about the Jets? Yes. Was it more Bears than Jets? Yes. But we're in this together. The Bears was a more memeable game. That's true. That is true.

[Big Cat]

More eyeballs on it. That is more eyeballs.

[PFT Commenter]

Coordinator going against the old team. Yeah, that is true. Said he had plays that he had called in the off season that he was going to run today.

[Big Cat]

Oh, the Bears had a great first play.

[PFT Commenter]

Yeah. Yeah. It's a good script. So. Okay. So we're good, though. Yeah, we're good. We both. We both suck. Yeah.

[Big Cat]

What do you think about Aaron Glenn?

[PFT Commenter]

And maybe you'll get Caleb Williams in, like, a year or two.

[Big Cat]

What do you think about Aaron Glenn's statement after the game? That was just like, we're killing ourselves.

[PFT Commenter]

Yeah, that was. That was his.

[Big Cat]

Is that memeable?

[PFT Commenter]

That was his warm welcome to the Jets.

[Big Cat]

Would you say that's a memeable thing that he Said, yeah, I tweeted about it. Did you. Did you meme it? I'm beginning to see big cat's point here.

[PFT Commenter]

Yeah.

[Big Cat]

To memes, his defense. His coach literally said we're killing ourselves. And then Memes did not use that. You did not deploy that as a meme.

[PFT Commenter]

I did. So memes defense.

[Big Cat]

What the graphic of the Bears want of the Bears elimination?

[PFT Commenter]

Got 27,000 likes. Of course. Jets 1 got 4. Listen, I knew obvious. I'm not arguing of which team is funnier to laugh at right now. I'm just asking for fair and balanced from memes when he runs a PMT account. All I needed was the jets eliminated as well. Because we're in this together. We have to stick together.

[Big Cat]

That's fair.

[PFT Commenter]

But if we're numbers based, the Bears do. They're way easier to laugh at. Oh. Which is actually, you should be upset about that because like that, that used to be the jets mantle. You lost it. The opposite of love is not hate. It's apathy. Yeah, but we're. Yeah, we're so bad you can't even laugh anymore right there. So that's. But shouldn't you. Yeah. So maybe that's what it is. Maybe it's like you're mad that the Bears have taken the laughing stock mantle.

[Big Cat]

That could be it.

[PFT Commenter]

Either way, it was just very funny for memes and I just standing in the studio around 4 o' clock today having a real disagreement and then coming to the terms of like, we both suck. We just got to stick together. That's Zach, you watched it. What did you think? How pathetic was. Was very funny. I'll be in full transparency. It was good. It was, but it felt pathetic. Did you feel pathetic memes? Because I felt pathetic. We were arguing. We were arguing over who's worse.

[Big Cat]

Now that memes has the part of my take timeline pulled up. But there is one thing from the. From the Lions Bears game that we didn't discuss. Oh yeah. To bring up.

[PFT Commenter]

Yeah.

[Big Cat]

Amanra St. Brown score a touchdown. He does the celebration where he grabs his hamstring. Hank freaked out. Hank thought that he pulled his hamstring. He goes, oh, no. You've never seen that before, Hank.

[PFT Commenter]

I said, oh, no. Jared Goff looked like he got fooled by it too.

[Big Cat]

No, no, he came to celebrate with his buddy.

[PFT Commenter]

Yeah. I just said, oh, no. First day watching Paul. I mean, that's. That's not what you want to see.

[Big Cat]

That's true.

[PFT Commenter]

Well, actually it is 50 cry every time Jane Daniels moves outside of the pocke.

[Big Cat]

Shut the up. I do. And I've never once been like, oh, my God. Oh, my God, oh, my God, oh, my God, oh, my God, oh, my God. Oh, my God. I've never fallen for a fake.

[PFT Commenter]

Oh, get down, get down, get down. Oh, my God.

[Big Cat]

After he scores a touchdown, I'm not like, oh, my God. Is his hamstring okay?

[PFT Commenter]

If he went down like that, you would literally have a heart attack. That's probably.

[Big Cat]

Well, you. I care way more about Jayden Daniels than you do about Amon Ross. I didn't. And freak out.

[PFT Commenter]

I literally just said, oh, no.

[Big Cat]

You freaked out a little bit. No.

[PFT Commenter]

I said, oh, no.

[Big Cat]

And then how long that's been a thing for? Like, three years. He did it.

[PFT Commenter]

He sold it. Well, yeah. Okay. We're good, Memes. We both suck. Yeah, we're good. We're good, we're good. It actually never got to memes. You know, sometimes Memes does the thing where he, like, balls his fist, and you're like, oh, no. We never even got to that. We were just having a nice, polite disagreement and then came to the conclusion that we both suck and are pathetic, and we're good with that. Well, Big, Big Cab strolled in with a lacrosse stick on his shoulder. Like, he's like. He's about to hit me with it. It's true. I was like, why? I had it. We need to talk. I was just like, what? I do. He's like, you tweet the Bears are eliminated from the play. I was like, where's the jets one? He's like, I did it. And Zach was just sitting there and. Yeah. It had to have been the most pathetic conversation that happened this afternoon. Easily. I was just aware there's gonna be that much division week two. I was like, well, this is week two. Like, week 14 is gonna be. No, because this is exactly when Memes and I do it every year. It's right around now.

[Big Cat]

I. I think it's a little early.

[PFT Commenter]

You think it's early? I think Bears were good last year. The jets were. No, we were. Oh, yeah. Jets were decent to start. Yeah. I think Week 5 or 6, whenever the Pats beat the jets, it's usually. Yeah, you're right. It's a little bit later. But this year, I think this is the appropriate time for it. Yeah, it's right around that time. Yeah, it's right.

[Big Cat]

It's.

[PFT Commenter]

It needed to be said. We needed to have the conversation. We'll be good for the rest of the season just being like, yeah, we both suck. I will Say the, the last thing on the jets, like Sean Payton lost 70 to 20 to the dolphins his first year. Like there's those positives. You need a year to set the culture for your team.

[Big Cat]

You have to flush the turds. You have to get rid of every.

[PFT Commenter]

Single negative piece, negative player out of the building. You got to get your guys in. It's unfortunate. You're going to suck for a while. You just gotta.

[Big Cat]

You gotta bear with the process.

[PFT Commenter]

Instead of just being like, oh, we fuck it, we're terrible. Like, I want to watch a Super bowl team. That's just not gonna happen. You're right.

[Big Cat]

Because that's how bad teams stay bad.

[PFT Commenter]

Yeah.

[Big Cat]

Is if they do freak out and then they make another change.

[PFT Commenter]

Yeah. Yeah. You just gotta realize we're gonna suck. That's where we're different in that you're not at the end of a four year rebuild. You're at the start of a rebuild. Yeah. Even though it's kind of exciting. Tony Romo said on the, on the broadcast that it was like watching Alabama versus Middle Tennessee State. Oh. That. The Bills just have so many more guys that are good. It's just not competitive right now. Yeah. Yeah. But I do think we'll be. We'll beat the bad teams. Like, we're a bad team, but I think we're better than the worst.

[Big Cat]

You might be one of the best bad teams. Yeah.

[PFT Commenter]

How many wins right now? 5.

[Big Cat]

How many bad teams are there that you're better than?

[PFT Commenter]

That's a good question. After today's game, I'd say zero. But if you go based off the Pittsburgh game, who they look terrible. Because Pittsburgh could be a bad team. They could be bad.

[Big Cat]

Are you better than the Dolphins team?

[PFT Commenter]

I think we're better than the Dolphins. We'll find out in two weeks. Yeah. That's Monday Night Football. I think you're better than the Panthers. Yeah. We could beat the Panthers.

[Big Cat]

Are you better than the Saints right now?

[PFT Commenter]

No.

[Big Cat]

Are you better than the Bears?

[PFT Commenter]

Yes. We don't play, but yes, right now, power rank. Although we kind of played the same week. One, week two, like close game, then non competitive game. Now I give it to the Bears. Okay. Although Justin Fields would have his chip on his shoulder. Yeah, that would be big. That would be big. And you would have a chip on your shoulder because you'd get to rub it in my face. That would also be big. All right, next game. Seahawks 31, Steelers 17. Yeah, the Steelers might be bad. So this game did change on two plays. One was the pick in the end zone to where Calvin Austin, I think, ran the wrong route. Basically hit the ball tip drill.

[Big Cat]

It was a pass to Fryer.

[PFT Commenter]

Move. Yeah.

[Big Cat]

Alvin Austin reached out, deflected it up. Interception.

[PFT Commenter]

He's like, I got this.

[Big Cat]

Yep.

[PFT Commenter]

And then the other one was one of the dumbest plays ever. It was Caleb Johnson walking away from a ball that landed in the landing zone and then the Seahawks jumping on it and in the end zone and scoring a touchdown. That was basically the game right there. It reminded me. It kind of reminded me of like, because of the new rules of like kickoffs and everything. It kind of reminded me of. Remember the Plasco play when he. When he. When he stood up and. And dropped the ball and then everyone learned to not do that. Yep. Caleb Johnson had to die for everyone else to learn to never do this because the way he walked away from that ball, he never in a million years thought it was a live.

[Big Cat]

Every special teams coach is like, thank God that happened to a different team and not to us. And Danny Smith, the biggest gum chewer. Like, he makes Pete Carroll look like he's never put anything in his mouth. Danny Smith is always chewing a fat water gum. And him not knowing that rule, I think is worse than what Caleb Johnson did.

[PFT Commenter]

Yeah.

[Big Cat]

Like, as a special teams coach, say what you want about Belichick. Belichick would have studied every single rule about the kickoff and then had an hour long meeting with everybody on special teams being like, this is the rule. This is what you can do. This is what you can't do. That to me, was more on the coach than it was on the player.

[PFT Commenter]

Do we know that he told him? Do we know that? Because he. He could have told him.

[Big Cat]

He might have told him. If he did tell him, then yes, it's on the player.

[PFT Commenter]

Yeah.

[Big Cat]

But he certainly. Caleb Johnson didn't act like he had ever heard that.

[PFT Commenter]

He walked away from it so nonchalantly.

[Big Cat]

And that was. The game changed entirely on that.

[PFT Commenter]

Yeah.

[Big Cat]

It went from Steelers have to press.

[PFT Commenter]

The Seahawks were up 3 and then they went up 10. Just like that on back to back plays. So it was pretty crazy. I. The Steelers are. I don't know if the Steelers are good.

[Big Cat]

I have a take. Big cat.

[PFT Commenter]

Okay.

[Big Cat]

I think the Steelers are better when they have a shitty quarterback. And Aaron Rodgers didn't play that well today. I want to say that. I mean, he should have had that touchdown to Pat, but I think that they're better when their defense knows that they have to be like, impregnable.

[PFT Commenter]

I think they can Just give it a little time because I think Aaron Rodgers might not be good anymore.

[Big Cat]

You don't think so?

[PFT Commenter]

No. Under pressure, he was a disaster. He was.

[Big Cat]

He was bad today.

[PFT Commenter]

He was on passes over 10 yards today. He had a 22 completion percentage, 42 yards and one interception. It might be over.

[Big Cat]

I actually, I think that they. I think they win that game with Mason Rudolph because their defense, my. My entire take is, like, right now, the Steelers didn't really make any. Any drastic changes on defense besides bringing in Jalen Ramsey, which should make your defense better. Right. And Joey Porter didn't play today. But. But they're not. They're not playing at all like they were last year on defense.

[PFT Commenter]

They do have a lot of. They did have a lot of injuries in this game, but still, it's two games where they've gotten. It doesn't look like the Steelers, the way that they got ran on. Like, Kenneth Walker, he only touched the ball 13 times. He had 105 yards. Yeah.

[Big Cat]

It's like, just because you have the uniform, I always expect that the uniforms are just going to make you a good defensive player if you play in Pittsburgh.

[PFT Commenter]

Correct.

[Big Cat]

But that's not really a great strategy. It's like saying, play renegade louder.

[PFT Commenter]

Yeah.

[Big Cat]

That'll make us better on defense. If they have a shitty quarterback, I feel like they're more competitive on defense.

[PFT Commenter]

Yeah.

[Big Cat]

Might be dumb. Might be a dumb take, but knowing that you. You can't give up any points, I.

[PFT Commenter]

Don'T hate to take. I just. I think they just got to wait a little bit because I. I don't know. I don't know if Rogers. I don't know if the Steelers are good. They started 1 0. Obviously they lost today. The Seahawks defense is good. Had them in clamps in the second half. I don't know if the Steelers are good there.

[Big Cat]

There also might be a little. Maybe some trouble brewing between Aaron Rodgers and. And Mike Tomlin, who.

[PFT Commenter]

Do tell.

[Big Cat]

Well, Aaron, he keeps trying to tell Mike, we're gonna go for on fourth down. And then Mike Tomlin's like, no, Aaron, I don't go for on fourth down. That's not in my DNA.

[PFT Commenter]

Yeah.

[Big Cat]

And then Aaron Rodgers, like, fuck, okay. But he's used to winning all those arguments with. With his coaches.

[PFT Commenter]

Yeah. But he doesn't realize that Mike Thomas, like, hey, I don't know if you know, but I've been here for a long time. And what we do is we punt. This is in the middle of the field, and it's fourth and one. We punt.

[Big Cat]

This is how I have. 600 winning percentage.

[PFT Commenter]

Yeah.

[Big Cat]

Okay, we're. We're going to punt. It was fourth and one. It was pretty much midfield, I think, at the 48 yard line. And it was tied 14, 14. And Aaron Rogers like, no, let's just get a first down. Mike Tomlin's like, no, we're going to punt. And Aaron looked exasperated.

[PFT Commenter]

Yeah, yeah, I. Listen, I don't know. I. I will find out, I guess if the Steelers are good in the next couple of weeks because, like, they, I think they play at the Patriots. That'll be a good test of whether they're good. Then they play at home against the Vikings. That will be a good test. If they start one and three, I think they're not a good team. And I, I don't. It. Russell Wilson looked really good today. I don't know if Aaron Rodgers still has what Russell Wilson did, which is.

[Big Cat]

Crazy to say over the course of a season.

[PFT Commenter]

Maybe.

[Big Cat]

But like, this is a great game from Russ, don't get me wrong.

[PFT Commenter]

Yeah, no, I'm just saying I don't know where that came from, Russ. It wasn't last year, but our last week. Yeah, but the deep ball still there for Russ. I. Aaron Rodgers couldn't throw the ball like, down the field.

[Big Cat]

Aaron Rodgers looked way better today than Russ looked in week one.

[PFT Commenter]

Yes, I would agree.

[Big Cat]

In their bad games, I would agree with that. But in their good games, Russ looked better than Aaron Rodgers.

[PFT Commenter]

And that interception in the end zone was not Aaron Rodgers fault.

[Big Cat]

Correct.

[PFT Commenter]

That was not his fault at all. And then the Seahawks. I do think the Seahawks have a very good defense. Their offense will hopefully come along. It look good today because the Steelers defenses look bad. But yeah, I think the, like, Mike McDonald's got him going in the right direction kind of thing.

[Big Cat]

We have two Mike and Mike matchups today. We did vrabel.

[PFT Commenter]

Yeah.

[Big Cat]

And McDaniel and Tomlin and McDonald.

[PFT Commenter]

Yeah.

[Big Cat]

Crazy.

[PFT Commenter]

It's too bad we lost Mike McCarthy. We had five mics.

[Big Cat]

Five mics.

[PFT Commenter]

Five mics. Yeah. The sea, like, Seahawks are going to be one of those teams that I, I feel like if they. They're. They're going to be there, like they play a good style of football. Even that week one game where they couldn't do anything offensively, they stayed in it by playing good defense.

[Big Cat]

And Cooper cup still alive.

[PFT Commenter]

Cooper cup still alive.

[Big Cat]

Yep, still alive.

[PFT Commenter]

Oh, that's my computer making noise. Hank. Speaking of Mike's, the other Mike Mike. Matchup. Patriots 33, Dolphins 27. How are you Feeling gotta win, gotta win. Wasn't pretty. Defense is really bad. Drake may look great. Drake may did look great. The offense looked good. Stefon Diggs kind of showed up a little bit. I love Mike Vraber running down the sidelines on the. On the kick return. Yeah. You see Stefan Diggs call him slow. Yeah, that's funny. That's just, that's just good, good old fashioned locker room stuff. Yeah.

[Big Cat]

To have finally lost the Patriots.

[PFT Commenter]

Yeah. But their, their, their defense looked bad. Like the Dolphins I don't think are good. And it was an absolute grind to win that game. Yeah. You need. The game was not like super appealing to watch. And then it kind of all hell broke loose with the punt return, then kick return right back, which was pretty sick. Did you like the new uniforms? Not no new uniforms yet. I thought they were new. Not yet. Did the pants look grayer then or were they sweating a lot? I think they think it was just a hot Miami day. Okay. Hot Miami day because they put the.

[Big Cat]

Benches in the sun.

[PFT Commenter]

Yeah. Let's talk about your kicker. Yeah. So I have a theory. I think Mike Vrabel is just too much in alpha that none of his kickers can ever have the confidence to kick. He just hates kickers. He's got a horrible number. He's got a horrible swag for a kicker.

[Big Cat]

Number 36.

[PFT Commenter]

He's number 36. He's got an arm sleeve.

[Big Cat]

The arm sleeve on.

[PFT Commenter]

And his sleeve of tattoos. He looks like. He looks like a 12 year old went in the Madden create a player and spent like an hour and a half customizing everything.

[Big Cat]

You do not want your kicker to have sw. Swag. Nothing about a natural kicker should exude coolness.

[PFT Commenter]

No. And he's got the ass towel which is like that's kick. Who played obviously college football. Doing college football is like no kicker should ever have an ass towel.

[Big Cat]

No. You don't touch the ball with your hands.

[PFT Commenter]

Correct.

[Big Cat]

He did.

[PFT Commenter]

He came up clutch though. He had a long field goal to kind of ice the game. Yeah, he did.

[Big Cat]

But yeah, he missed two extra points.

[PFT Commenter]

Two. First two extra points. Missed him badly.

[Big Cat]

Number 36 on the kicker doesn't look good. You just. If you're a kicker, you take the screen. You don't even ask for a number if you're a kicker. You just like, you go into the equipment room and you're like, whatever. You got that like dorks usually wear. I'll put that one on. So. Yeah, bad.

[PFT Commenter]

Really bad and variable. Definitely just, Just hates it. He doesn't Even probably is not going to acknowledge it. Probably doesn't even know his name. No. Yeah.

[Big Cat]

No, they're just all kicker.

[PFT Commenter]

Yeah.

[Big Cat]

To him.

[PFT Commenter]

Get out there, kicker, go. Miss that kick kicker. Because this happened. Remember when he just didn't use kickers in Tennessee.

[Big Cat]

Yeah. Because there was one guy that missed like four in a row.

[PFT Commenter]

Yeah.

[Big Cat]

And he was just like, yeah, we're just not kicking the ball.

[PFT Commenter]

We're not gonna.

[Big Cat]

Ever again. Mike McDaniel has to change his glasses. You can't wear those glasses and lose as much as he's been losing.

[PFT Commenter]

I'd agree.

[Big Cat]

If you need to make a change, you got to. You got to have it like a. A different image. You can't be going through the tough times when you're looking like a coke dealer.

[PFT Commenter]

Yeah. He also, I would say the heat. This. The heat on his seat is volcanic at this point. Because they had a players only meeting after week one.

[Big Cat]

Yep.

[PFT Commenter]

And then after this game, Tua basically said, like, the communication was terrible at the end of the game.

[Big Cat]

Yep.

[PFT Commenter]

And Mike McDaniel then said the communication was terrible at the game. At the end of the game, it feels like it's going to be our first head coach fired this season.

[Big Cat]

Well, they're already. It's week two.

[PFT Commenter]

Yeah.

[Big Cat]

And Miami had to play Buffalo on Thursday night. Miami is already flying planes over the stadium that say, fire Greer, fire McDaniel. We're at skywriting bad territory for the Dolphins right now.

[PFT Commenter]

Here's a good thing for the Dolphins. Tyreek Hill finally had a 30 yard catch. First time in a year.

[Big Cat]

Yep.

[PFT Commenter]

It was one of the most underthrown balls of all time, but it still counted.

[Big Cat]

It was over 30 yards. Technically. Yes.

[PFT Commenter]

Also, Tua is my favorite interception quarterback in the league.

[Big Cat]

Now Tua might have a blind spot directly in the center of his field division.

[PFT Commenter]

It's. That interception through to the linebacker was so fucking funny. He is now number one. If you're like, hey, you want to laugh, show me an interception. It's Tua.

[Big Cat]

It was crazy. The guy was about 15 yards in front of him, directly in his field. Is there a term for that, like nearsighted? Farsighted.

[PFT Commenter]

Remember James had this with when he got a lasik. Yeah.

[Big Cat]

He was linebacker blind.

[PFT Commenter]

Yeah.

[Big Cat]

But yeah, if you can't see things that are directly in front of your face, what is that called?

[PFT Commenter]

I don't know.

[Big Cat]

Denial.

[PFT Commenter]

Yeah, It. That. That interception, though, was so fucking funny. He just threw it right to the linebacker. Yeah, it was a perfect pass to the linebacker. But yeah, he. He Leads the league in. In. In funniest turnovers at this point, he's my number. He's my 11 pick for funniest turnover.

[Big Cat]

I agree. They're awesome. Hank, you guys traded a wide receiver today, or was that yesterday? Yesterday. Are you familiar with the Patriots track record with receivers that they've drafted?

[PFT Commenter]

Yeah, it's not great. Who did you trade? Not Booty.

[Big Cat]

No, not Booty. Polk. Yeah. Jalen Polk. Okay. Did you know who the last wide receiver that the Patriots drafted that has reached 1,500 receiving yards in his entire.

[PFT Commenter]

Career is, says Stephen chase.

[Big Cat]

That. No.

[PFT Commenter]

1500. Oh, sorry. 1005 was his stat.

[Big Cat]

1,500. That's not that.

[PFT Commenter]

Yeah, I thought it was 1005. I got it.

[Big Cat]

1500 isn't that many receiving yards.

[PFT Commenter]

We didn't draft receivers forever. Wait, in his career?

[Big Cat]

In their entire career.

[PFT Commenter]

Oh, that's crazy.

[Big Cat]

I'm not talking about in a season.

[PFT Commenter]

Oh, yeah, yeah, that's crazy. We didn't draft wide receivers forever, and then we took nil.

[Big Cat]

Harry, he was terrible.

[PFT Commenter]

So now Julian.

[Big Cat]

It was Julian Edelman. Yeah. Yeah, it was from Andy Hutchins, but. Yeah, that's a crazy stat, isn't it? And p. Was he a. A second rounder?

[PFT Commenter]

Might have been.

[Big Cat]

First.

[PFT Commenter]

Second memes saying second.

[Big Cat]

Second rounder memes on.

[PFT Commenter]

On our Patriots beat.

[Big Cat]

Yeah, it's pretty crazy.

[PFT Commenter]

Jalen Pope go to. Go to college. Yeah. Washington Huskies. Hank's favorite team. That's right.

[Big Cat]

Yep.

[PFT Commenter]

That's right. That's right. Yeah. Listen, hey, Drake may look good. That's.

[Big Cat]

I feel like it's going to be.

[PFT Commenter]

An entertaining, entertaining year. They're going to be in a lot of these games where it's like they're. They're going to have to grind out wins, but that was a big step for, like, shootout. Shootout wins. Drake May should look like that against the Dolphins defense at his best. He was almost perfect. So that's good. Yeah. You know, and you won the game. It's a rebuilding year.

[Big Cat]

It's like. Like, we gotta win.

[PFT Commenter]

You know, there's gonna be a lot of close games and. And you just gotta hope, you know, they get good experience out of them.

[Big Cat]

It was an awesome ending, too. It was exciting.

[PFT Commenter]

And we're just gonna forget that you said that. You're gonna have the most wins of anyone on this. I mean, we're only one back right.

[Big Cat]

Now, so it's true.

[PFT Commenter]

So you're gonna stand with it? I'm just saying we're only one back, so. Okay.

[Big Cat]

All right.

[PFT Commenter]

So you're only one.

[Big Cat]

But big cat's only one back of you.

[PFT Commenter]

That's true. True. Same with memes right there. We're knocking on the door.

[Big Cat]

Anything could happen.

[PFT Commenter]

It's a long season.

[Big Cat]

It is.

[PFT Commenter]

It is a long season. Yeah. I. I do think that it's gonna be Mike McDaniel soon. Right? What's the.

[Big Cat]

Let's.

[PFT Commenter]

Let's just.

[Big Cat]

Look, if you get a players only meeting after one week.

[PFT Commenter]

One week.

[Big Cat]

That's. That's a pretty bad sign.

[PFT Commenter]

All right. The Dolphins.

[Big Cat]

That's not even a play. That's just telling your coaches, hey, get out of here. Yeah, we're going to. We don't want to talk to you.

[PFT Commenter]

All right. I'll make the prediction. If the Dolphins start, oh and five, he will be fired because they play the Bills. They're going to lose to the Bills in Buffalo Thursday Night Football. Then they play the jets on Monday night Football. Then they play the Panthers. If they lose to the jets and the Panthers, if they don't get one win there, he's done.

[Big Cat]

I agree.

[PFT Commenter]

That's. That's it for him. And I'm sure he'll be a good offensive coordinator somewhere.

[Big Cat]

Yeah.

[PFT Commenter]

Maybe not a head coach. Okay.

[Big Cat]

You can't wear the glasses if you're an offense court. Those are head winning head coach glasses.

[PFT Commenter]

Yes. Absolutely. Pft. You want to do a couple ads and we'll get to the last two games of the early slate.

[PFT Commenter]

Okay rams Titans Rams 33, Titans 19 I feel like the Rams offense finally woke up because they were in a dog fight with the Titans 13. Ten and a half, I believe it was. And then Matthew Stafford was sensational in the second half. He went 14 for 17191 yards, two touchdowns. They scored on four of their five drives. Maybe that was. Maybe it was a game and a half that the, the Rams needed to get finally wake up in the first half.

[Big Cat]

All they really had was like let's, let's hand the ball off to Puka Nukua.

[PFT Commenter]

Yeah.

[Big Cat]

And then he's going to break something nice for us. And if you're a Titans fan watching this game, this season's probably going to stink for Titans fans out there.

[PFT Commenter]

Oh yeah.

[Big Cat]

But we are firmly on guy watch with Cam Ward. So that's, that's really what you're paying attention to every week. Is Cam Ward a guy?

[PFT Commenter]

Was that throw smart? That might be the touchdown throw we're talking about.

[Big Cat]

Yeah. The touchdown throw he threw across his body across the entire field. That is a throw that a guy would make.

[PFT Commenter]

Yeah.

[Big Cat]

However, that's not a good throw that you want your guy to make because he's going to think that he can do that and then it's going to be bad the next time they try.

[PFT Commenter]

That's a throw against Bethune Cookman.

[Big Cat]

Yes.

[PFT Commenter]

Not against the Los Angeles Rams. Now it did work.

[Big Cat]

Yep.

[PFT Commenter]

So credit to him. But that was a crazy. I can't imagine they go into film and they're like, hey, good throw dude. Great process. Because that was nuts. Yeah. You rarely see that across the body, across the field.

[Big Cat]

Yeah. They're going to try to tell him not to do that. But since it worked, it's a good luck telling him that.

[PFT Commenter]

Yeah.

[Big Cat]

Because it was. It ended up being an awesome looking play. They even have like some of the super high definition cameras that tracked it being like, look at this great play by Cam Ward.

[PFT Commenter]

Yep.

[Big Cat]

Coaches are like, don't ever fucking do that again, please.

[PFT Commenter]

Yeah.

[Big Cat]

But he's going to.

[PFT Commenter]

His. His O line is not great. So it's a work in progress. I do like, I have liked watching Cam Ward. He's fun to watch play this game. Kind of got away from. It was actually his fumble in the second half that kind of opened up the floodgates where it was like the Titans were hanging around their one possession game and then it just kind of ended there.

[Big Cat]

I would go far as to say that the Titans offensive line is bad.

[PFT Commenter]

Yeah.

[Big Cat]

Right now he's on pace to be sacked 93.5 times this year. Which actually it made me look up the David Carr stats. So he's been sacked how many times he gets sacked today. I know he got banged up a lot in week one today. He had. He was sacked five, five sacks. David Carr in his first two games he got sacked 15 times. Pretty crazy. But right now they're on pace to. To break that record. He had six sacks in his first game. Yeah.

[PFT Commenter]

What was the David Carr again for the whole first year? Because Caleb was close.

[Big Cat]

Was not 70.

[PFT Commenter]

I can't remember. But it was. It was. Caleb was close. Caleb got sacked 68 times last year.

[Big Cat]

I think it was 73 or 74 times for. At the end for David Carr.

[PFT Commenter]

76.

[Big Cat]

76.

[PFT Commenter]

So Caleb was eight away.

[Big Cat]

So the fact that David Carr got sacked 15 times in his first two games and only got sacked 76 times on the season.

[PFT Commenter]

Yeah. Pretty good.

[Big Cat]

Pretty good.

[PFT Commenter]

Yeah, pretty good.

[Big Cat]

Good turnaround.

[PFT Commenter]

Offensive line. Did all right.

[Big Cat]

Yeah.

[PFT Commenter]

Here's a crazy stat I saw. The Rams are a good football team. I think we all agree, right? They played the Eagles the toughest out of anyone last year in the playoffs. The. Every year the Stafford's been healthy, they've been in the playoffs. Do you know this was the largest margin of victory? Regular season margin of victory. The Rams have won by. Since week 13, 20, 23.

[Big Cat]

I did not know that.

[PFT Commenter]

Isn't that crazy?

[Big Cat]

They just don't blow anybody out.

[PFT Commenter]

Don't blow anyone out. It's nuts.

[Big Cat]

That is. They probably do a great job of running the football.

[PFT Commenter]

Yeah. I just. I saw it. I was like, holy. And I went and looked and they did. They did kill the Vikings Last year in the playoffs. But regular season, every game is. Is 10 points or less. Pretty much. Until you go back to week, week 13, 20, 23. So there's. I don't know, there's like 13 or 14 wins in there that none of them were 14 points.

[Big Cat]

Yeah, McVeigh is a really good coach. Brian Callahan, I don't know. Can we even say if he's a good coach or not?

[PFT Commenter]

Yeah, I don't know.

[Big Cat]

He might be. Ken Wisenhunt 2.0.

[PFT Commenter]

I like him as a guy.

[Big Cat]

Yeah. Seems like a good dude.

[PFT Commenter]

Yeah.

[Big Cat]

But he learned what it catches.

[PFT Commenter]

He learned what a catch is.

[Big Cat]

Calvin Ridley has not.

[PFT Commenter]

Yeah. The Titans need to just be a scrappy team this year. They get the Eagles or no. Sorry. The Rams get the Eagles next week. Whose lines anyway? DraftKings sportsbook.

[Big Cat]

Where is it?

[PFT Commenter]

It's at.

[Big Cat]

It's in Philly.

[PFT Commenter]

Philadelphia Eagles minus four and a half. No, Eagles minus three and a half. I'll say two and a half.

[Big Cat]

I think Hank might be right.

[PFT Commenter]

What is it? DraftKings sportsbook. It is. Eagles -4½. Oh, wow. Nice, Hank. Good job. Thanks. Spot on. All right, last game of the early slate. Ravens 41, Browns 17. This was an ass kicking. It was close, actually. In the first half on desean Watson's birthday. Yeah. Deshaun Watson's birthday. They wished him a happy birthday on Twitter. Joe Flacco's return to Baltimore, which was cool. Do you see Dennis Pitta wearing our shirt?

[Big Cat]

He rocked the elite shirt today. Yeah.

[PFT Commenter]

Respect the elite shirt. The hug with Lamar after was awesome. Nothing else the Browns did was awesome because it wasn't even like. The Ravens had 242 total yards of offense and they still won by this margin. They blocked a punt. They had a pick returned to the six yard line. They demolished them.

[Big Cat]

They didn't even try to run the football. That was the craziest part about it. Derek Henry had 23 yards today.

[PFT Commenter]

Yeah. The Browns defense held its own for a half and then it just ran out of gas.

[Big Cat]

Yeah.

[PFT Commenter]

There was nothing else that could be done. And the Ravens like that last year. We talked about it on Friday, but last year they lost in a heartbreaker. Week one. They lost the Raiders Week two. This feels like they corrected a little bit, won an easy one, didn't give up a lead late. Ravens are going to be just fine. I have a question for you. Pft. And we love Joe Flacco.

[Big Cat]

Yep.

[PFT Commenter]

Why don't they start? Dylan Gabriel.

[Big Cat]

We love Joe Flacco.

[PFT Commenter]

I love Joe Flacco. But, yes, the process makes no sense in the fact that Joe Flacco can't play forever. You drafted Dylan Gabriel. You might as well find out.

[Big Cat]

Yeah, well, they put him in. He had a perfect QBR because he went 3 for 3 against the backups. Against the backups for the Ravens. But still, you can't ask for anything better than three for three.

[PFT Commenter]

Yeah.

[Big Cat]

Yeah, they. They probably should start thinking about that. I don't think that Stefanski. I don't know what his. His. His relationship is like with Haslam, but I would imagine that the second Haslam says play Dylan Gabriel, he's going to play Dylan Gabriel. And until that happens, he's going to be like, I'm going to stick with Joe Flacco because I'm waiting for Haslam to tell me to put Gabriel in because then my clock resets on my job. Yeah, that's probably what's going through his head right now.

[PFT Commenter]

Okay. But I.

[Big Cat]

But they should.

[PFT Commenter]

I feel like it should. It should just happen.

[Big Cat]

Yeah, I think it's about that time.

[PFT Commenter]

It should just. Just do it and see what you got. By the way, did you see the Adam Schefter report before this game that Shador Sanders. The Ravens were going to take him in the fifth round, but before Baltimore could turn in the card, the former Colorado star let it be known that he didn't want to be on a roster with Lamar Jackson where he'd be a backup. Instead, he's a backup to Dylan Gabriel.

[Big Cat]

And Joe Flack and Bailey Zappy.

[PFT Commenter]

That's a crazy story.

[Big Cat]

That is. Yeah.

[PFT Commenter]

I think you'd want to be on the Ravens no matter what.

[Big Cat]

I mean, the fact, like, you.

[PFT Commenter]

If you're. If you're drafted by any team, a Ravens is probably the top of the list of teams. Like, from an organizational standpoint, you'd want to be drafted by.

[Big Cat]

This also tells me that he probably told the Browns, don't draft me if they had already taken Dylan Gabriel. Right.

[PFT Commenter]

Yeah.

[Big Cat]

And because if the Ravens were going to take him in the fifth, then Dylan Gabriel is already on the Browns at that point.

[PFT Commenter]

Yeah.

[Big Cat]

And then they tell. They tell Shador, hey, we want to draft you. He probably said, please don't draft me. And they said, you. We're going to draft you so hard.

[PFT Commenter]

Going to draft the fuck out of you.

[Big Cat]

This is the start of a great relationship.

[PFT Commenter]

I just. I don't get it. It's not like Lamar. Lamar has missed time.

[Big Cat]

Yeah, you.

[PFT Commenter]

If you told me I had to be a backup anywhere, I think The Ravens would probably be number one.

[Big Cat]

Lamar and Dion could share a sponsorship with Depends. Yeah, get that same 10 on the sideline for the Ravens games. Also, credit to Lamar Jackson. So today he didn't have the Most. He had 225 yards passing, four touchdowns, no interceptions. Quarterback rating 128.6. That makes Lamar Jackson the highest rated NFL quarterback of all time.

[PFT Commenter]

All time.

[Big Cat]

Of all time.

[PFT Commenter]

Him. According to qbr.

[Big Cat]

No, no, not qbr.

[PFT Commenter]

Oh, the rating. Yeah, the.

[Big Cat]

The passer rating.

[PFT Commenter]

Yeah.

[Big Cat]

So he officially passed Aaron Rodgers. Lamar Jackson is the best passing quarterback of all time by the metrics, which is crazy because he's also the best running quarterback of all time.

[PFT Commenter]

That is nuts. That's wild. You see, I think Lamar might be really good.

[Big Cat]

I think he's. I think he's really.

[PFT Commenter]

I think I've seen enough guys. I think Lamar is really good.

[Big Cat]

Yeah, maybe they draft. Maybe they have Lamar play the regular season and then Shador in the playoffs.

[PFT Commenter]

Fuck them up when they're not thinking.

[Big Cat]

That'S what they were probably going to do.

[PFT Commenter]

The Ravens are also the 13th team in NFL's history to score at least 40 points in each of their first two games. But they're the first to do it without being two and.

[Big Cat]

Oh, that's pretty impressive.

[PFT Commenter]

Yeah, that is.

[Big Cat]

Yeah.

[PFT Commenter]

Isn't it? Also, this is a sad Brown stat, but maybe comforting. I don't know. I don't know. The Browns are a mess. The Browns have outgained their opponents. 649 to 383 three through two weeks and their own two.

[Big Cat]

That's crazy.

[PFT Commenter]

That's insane.

[Big Cat]

That's. That's mostly a Bengals Brown stat, but. Yes.

[PFT Commenter]

Well, no, it's today, too.

[Big Cat]

This game. They did a decent job on defense.

[PFT Commenter]

Yeah. And they. They outgained the Ravens today. They lost 41 to 17 and they outgained the Ravens. I think they outgained them by like 100 yards. So. Yeah, close to 100 yards. It's not great for the Browns right now. Let's just say that I don't really know what. I don't know what they're doing. I don't know where they're going.

[Big Cat]

They don't. They don't know any better.

[PFT Commenter]

But shout out that wedding. I'm sure they're. Those people are happily married now.

[Big Cat]

You see, there was also a. A proposal at the Titans game today, too.

[PFT Commenter]

Oh, really?

[Big Cat]

Yeah.

[PFT Commenter]

That's beautiful.

[Big Cat]

We need this every week.

[PFT Commenter]

We need that. We need a wedding at the Titans game, maybe for their new Stadium be like, honey, I bought the newest building in all of Nashville. It's the Titans new stadium. Okay. Colts, Broncos, Colts 29, Broncos 28. The Indianapolis Colts are two and, oh, for the first time since 2009.

[Big Cat]

Yeah.

[PFT Commenter]

That's crazy.

[Big Cat]

Pretty crazy. Well, they haven't won in week one in, like, what.

[PFT Commenter]

Yeah, it was since 2013. Yeah.

[Big Cat]

They're also the first team in the super bowl era to not punt in either of their first two games in.

[PFT Commenter]

A season because one of them today was like an illegal. Was. It was.

[Big Cat]

Well, no, they. They had a couple turnovers on downs.

[PFT Commenter]

And I think they try. I think they punted today, but then there was a penalty and they didn't.

[Big Cat]

Did they actually try to do that?

[PFT Commenter]

I think so.

[Big Cat]

So, yeah, they. But still technically correct. The Colts have not punted by the NFL rule book.

[PFT Commenter]

That's pretty crazy.

[Big Cat]

It's nuts. Is it? Booker said that if Daniel Jones can play average, they could be a playoff team. We still don't know because Daniel Jones has not played out. He's played awesome.

[PFT Commenter]

Yeah. And yet Daniel Jones was awesome again today. This was, though, to me all time, like, yes, the Colts are two and, oh, it's awesome. Vibes are great. Jim Ursay season. They're two and, oh, now with Jim or say's daughter, the new owner, on the. On the sideline with the headset ready to go. The Broncos completely blew this game, big time. The Broncos had this game. Bo Nix was phenomenal in the first half. Then he had a really bad interception towards the end of the game where they could have. They were in field goal range. They had some bad penalties, and then they had the really bad penalty where they were. It was a 60 yard field goal and they got called for leverage, which. That is the word. I think that's worse than. The actual penalty is a ref announcing to everyone. Penalty on the Broncos for leverage.

[Big Cat]

Yeah. I don't understand. I. I guess the long snapper is technically in a defenseless position.

[PFT Commenter]

You can't jump on his back.

[Big Cat]

You can't touch the long snapper.

[PFT Commenter]

He kind of pushed him down and went up a little.

[Big Cat]

But that should not be a penalty.

[PFT Commenter]

No, it just got pads on.

[Big Cat]

It just shouldn't.

[PFT Commenter]

Yeah. And it's also just a funny thing to be like leverage, which you want leverage.

[Big Cat]

Yeah.

[PFT Commenter]

Leverage is a good thing in football.

[Big Cat]

Yeah. Not in this penalty on Tyreek Hill for speed.

[PFT Commenter]

Yeah. But it was. It was a blown opportunity for the Broncos because it felt like they had this game one. They. They came out of the halftime Felt like they were controlling the game. Jonathan Taylor, he's awesome. Still.

[Big Cat]

He was great.

[PFT Commenter]

So, yeah, awesome.

[Big Cat]

Daniel Jones played pretty good today. Jonathan Taylor looked awesome.

[PFT Commenter]

Awesome. He had.

[Big Cat]

He had so many breakaways where it was like, this is the old Jonathan Taylor from a couple years ago. There were. I thought that the Broncos were the better team overall, but it was just. It was a great game.

[PFT Commenter]

Yeah, this was.

[Big Cat]

This was awesome.

[PFT Commenter]

It was a very fun game.

[Big Cat]

And good for the Colts because they've been. They've been stuck in, like, purgatory when it comes to their quarterbacks for a long time. They put up the sad graphic on the screen where it's just like, here's a list of guys that you remember watching play in the post Andrew Luck era.

[PFT Commenter]

Yep.

[Big Cat]

And there are some guys on there. I complete. I had. I had wiped from my memory the Matt Ryan Colts year.

[PFT Commenter]

Yeah. Well, no, I didn't, because. Remember the 1212 game or 129 game Thursday night Football that we watched in that New Jersey gambling house? That was just. That was one of the most depressing experiences I think we've all shared together.

[Big Cat]

That was Matt Ryan. I thought in my head that was Carson Wentz. Anything bad, it was Matt Ryan. Anything bad or boring that's ever happened, I just assume Carson Wentz was the quarterback.

[PFT Commenter]

I think it was Matt Ryan versus Russell Wilson, Broncos Colts. I'm pretty sure that was one of the worst games. But it actually, I should say, remember, it did get to a point where it was so bad, it was kind of good at the end because it was so hilariously bad. Yeah. It was Matt Ryan and Russell Wilson. Holy shit. That was a bad game. 2022 overtime game and the Colts defeated.

[Big Cat]

Yeah.

[PFT Commenter]

Yeah. Because Russell wasn't member. Didn't he miss a. Didn't he. One of his guys, I think, was a Cortland Sutner, who was wide open.

[Big Cat]

Wide open.

[PFT Commenter]

Missing Jerry Judy.

[Big Cat]

Yeah.

[PFT Commenter]

Wide open and so pissed about it.

[Big Cat]

Yeah.

[PFT Commenter]

And now. Yeah. He was yelling at him after the game. That was the moment that Russell Wilson was like, oh, shit, this is not going to work out. And Nathaniel Hackett, man, time is going fast. I can't believe Nathaniel Hackett interview was three years ago.

[Big Cat]

That is crazy. And I remember when. When Russell missed that one pass, Jerry tweeted out. I think Sierra should give future another shot.

[PFT Commenter]

Yeah.

[Big Cat]

And then he fell in love with the future or with. With little future.

[PFT Commenter]

Yeah.

[Big Cat]

And with Russell Wilson the next year.

[PFT Commenter]

Yeah. For an entire season. That was a bad game. But, yeah, the Colts look good. I'm happy for Colts Fans, I'm happy for Seth.

[Big Cat]

Yep. And they are doing a great job of just getting Tyler Warren the ball at all costs.

[PFT Commenter]

He's good. Yeah, he's good. We also had the mascot game was back against the kids. Always fun where they just dummy a bunch of little kids in pads. And the mascot going from despair to celebrating was a very funny wrinkle in this game.

[Big Cat]

The Colts mascot also, you know, his, his celebration is the little hump.

[PFT Commenter]

Yeah.

[Big Cat]

Like humps his waist out a little bit. All the Colts players got next to him and just started the air.

[PFT Commenter]

Yeah.

[Big Cat]

In unison with him today. That was good to see.

[PFT Commenter]

The vibes are high for the Indianapolis Colts.

[Big Cat]

Very high. Yeah.

[PFT Commenter]

Shane Steichen can coach a little quarterback. The quarterback can listen and they get. Yeah, it feels, feels good.

[Big Cat]

Yeah.

[PFT Commenter]

Vibes are high. Who do they play next week? Because this was a good test. Although I, I wasn't all, all the way in on the Broncos hype.

[Big Cat]

Titans.

[PFT Commenter]

Titans. So that's could be 3, 0, then Rams, then Raiders. Be tough, then Cardinals. Yeah. We could be looking at the Colts. It will be very interesting to see what happens with the Texans on Monday Night Football. Texans start own two, which I need, by the way. We'll get to that in a second. All right. Before we do the last two games. And then we have Sunday night football. Pft. You have a couple more ads and we'll do the last three games.

[Big Cat]

Yeah. Before we get to the last of the football, it's brought to you by Morgan and Morgan. If you've ever stood at the top of a towering water slide with your heart pounding and asked yourself, what's the worst thing that could happen? Well, one visitor found out the hard way what was supposed to be a thrilling day at a popular Florida water attraction ended in a life altering injury.

[PFT Commenter]

Injury.

[Big Cat]

While riding one of the park's fastest slides, he was violently thrown from his tube, landing hard and suffering injuries that still affect him nearly four years later. That's when he turned to a law firm known for standing up to the biggest names in the biz. The suit claims that the slide's design, coupled with a lack of clear safety communication oversight, created a hazardous environment, especially for guests outside certain body specifications. Now this guest is living with permanent pain, scarring, and a drastically diminished quality of life.

[PFT Commenter]

Life.

[Big Cat]

All from what was supposed to be a routine thrill ride. Because when safety isn't the top priority, fun can turn into something else entirely. Morgan and Morgan is America's largest injury law firm.

[PFT Commenter]

Okay. Cardinals Panthers. Cardinals 27, Panthers 22. This is one of those games that the Cardinals were absolutely dominating. Should have covered. And then we had. So we had the. The full Kyler experience in. I think it was a matter of three plays where Kyler had one of the coolest scrambles for, I don't know, 30, 40 yards. And then he had one of the dumbest interceptions that kind of brought the Panthers back in this game, including a Panthers onside kick recovery, which we should always celebrate onside kick recoveries because we never get to see him anymore.

[Big Cat]

Yeah, I agree with that. Also, Kyler, it was a 30 yard scramble that he had. He ended up with 32 yards rushing on seven carries.

[PFT Commenter]

It's crazy.

[Big Cat]

That's. That's nuts to think about. Kyler. He should run the ball more. Yeah, he's very fast and people lose him behind the big offensive lineman.

[PFT Commenter]

I do think he's getting shorter.

[Big Cat]

He is. He looks. He looked tiny today.

[PFT Commenter]

Yep.

[Big Cat]

And I was thinking about that. It's also the fact that the Cardinals always wear the same color jerseys as pants.

[PFT Commenter]

Yes.

[Big Cat]

That makes him look so Much shorter. It's like a little onesie. He looked like he was in A Christmas Story today.

[PFT Commenter]

Yep.

[Big Cat]

But, yeah, I actually thought Bryce Young looked even smaller than Kyler today. And it was because Bryce was. He was throwing, like, cute little jump passes.

[PFT Commenter]

Yep.

[Big Cat]

Where he didn't have to jump, jump, but he was just, like, putting his whole body into it, really springing up there.

[PFT Commenter]

Yeah.

[Big Cat]

But, yeah, they. They should let him run the ball more because he's fast as. He's very good at it. And it also creates a different thing that the. The defense has to be on the lookout for. And when he does that, it's a completely different ball game.

[PFT Commenter]

Was this a statement loss for the Panthers?

[Big Cat]

Yeah. What's the statement, though?

[PFT Commenter]

The statement is maybe we aren't absolute dog, because for, I don't know, three quarters, maybe it was like two and a half quarters, because I think the Cardinals started the second half going down the field and making it 27 to 3. So at that point, I was like, yeah, the Panthers are maybe the worst team in the NFL. And then they actually put in some fight, scored 20 unanswered, fought back really hard, made this a game late, had the ball, statement loss. Maybe they could be a frisky Saints S team.

[Big Cat]

Well, I think what we always see with Bryce Young has been, like, right when people think that he's his shittiest, he tends to do something that surprises you.

[PFT Commenter]

And he started. She fumbled on, like, the third play.

[Big Cat]

He looked bad. He looked really bad today. And then at the end, it's like, oh, okay, maybe. Maybe the key is just throw the ball to McMillan.

[PFT Commenter]

Yeah.

[Big Cat]

And let him just jump up in the air with one hand and just snatch it.

[PFT Commenter]

Yeah, I. The Cardinals offense is weird to me because I thought they were going to, like, dominate this game because the Panthers defense is bad, but it just. Something's, like, off. I don't know if it's Kyler and Marvin Harrison. They're. They. It doesn't feel like their run game is really great. I don't know. They're two and oh, so they shouldn't complain. Like two and oh is two and oh, great. But, yeah, it just. It just gets to that point. Like, the second half, they just couldn't. They couldn't put the Panthers away successfully. They let them hang around. I don't know what it is.

[Big Cat]

Yeah. I don't see.

[PFT Commenter]

It's early football.

[Big Cat]

I don't know. To be honest with you. This. This game was on the third TV I was paying attention to until the fourth quarter. And then I was like, oh, Bryce. Because I'll be honest, Bryce made me look away from this game in the first half.

[PFT Commenter]

Yeah.

[Big Cat]

No, I was like. I was like, this one's over for the Panthers. So I guess he's like, he's mentally tough if he. He's able to play that poorly. And then.

[PFT Commenter]

So I'm saying, statement, loss. They didn't lose. They just ran out of time.

[Big Cat]

Well, they also. We welcomed back Hunter Renfro.

[PFT Commenter]

Yeah.

[Big Cat]

Had two touchdowns today. He's back. Hunter's back. That was weird how he just kind of dropped out of the NFL for.

[PFT Commenter]

A while, and then he came back.

[Big Cat]

And then he's back, and I guess he's just doing the same things that Hunter Renfro always does.

[PFT Commenter]

Yeah. Good for him.

[Big Cat]

A little double move. Sure hands. Coach's son. Good for the Panthers, I guess.

[PFT Commenter]

Yes. Statement. Lost.

[Big Cat]

The statement to me. The statement is that Ted McMillan is awesome and just throw the ball in his direction because he's got the biggest catch radius of any receiver that I've seen a long time.

[PFT Commenter]

We're going to find out. Cardinals play at the 49ers next week. I feel like that will be a. Am I right? That the Cardinals offense. Because the. The 49ers defense is good, and it's like, hey, what's going on? Am I right that. That it's not as smooth as it should be?

[Big Cat]

I don't trust.

[PFT Commenter]

Or is it just early football?

[Big Cat]

No, I don't trust the Cardinals offense.

[PFT Commenter]

Right.

[Big Cat]

I don't.

[PFT Commenter]

Right. Explosives. Pew, pew, pew, pew, pew. Last game, Eagles 20, Chiefs 17. Max. Who's on your shit list? What do you mean? Chris Jones? No, he. That.

[Big Cat]

That's just him being a sore loser at the end of the game and realizing that he just lost to the Eagles for the third straight time.

[PFT Commenter]

Okay. Dean Blandino. I don't care. Dean Blandino said he was done with the tush push.

[Big Cat]

Done.

[PFT Commenter]

It's impossible to officiate. He said it's bullshit. From.

[Big Cat]

From an officiating standpoint. He said this. I can't watch anymore.

[PFT Commenter]

Yeah, cool. Cool. I. I have nothing to say about that. If you want to call it, call it. If you're not going to call, we're.

[Big Cat]

Going to keep doing it.

[PFT Commenter]

Okay.

[Big Cat]

What do you mean by it?

[PFT Commenter]

False starts. Yeah, they're false starts. I don't give a fuck.

[Big Cat]

That's. That's the correct response. Yeah.

[PFT Commenter]

By the way, they don't call it.

[Big Cat]

Then they're actually not false. Yeah, right.

[PFT Commenter]

Exactly. Yeah, right. I'm not Going to apologize for that. For referees not calling false starts. Right. But would you if, like, they are false starts? Yes. So you should apologize. Nope. Okay. Don't care. Jalen hurts did have 101 yards, so. He did. Yeah. Chris Jones was wrong, I think. What was the exact thing. He was like, you didn't even have 100.

[Big Cat]

He was like, you didn't even have a hundred yards. And he was like, I. We won the game. Eat or something.

[PFT Commenter]

Yeah.

[Big Cat]

Yeah. It. It doesn't matter because Jalen hurts. Like, the Eagles don't have to be able to pass the ball. Jalen Hurts doesn't have to be able to throw for 300 yards. He doesn't. They're going to run the football. They're gonna have their offensive lineman just shove you over repeatedly until you stop it. And then if he can take a couple shots downfield now and again, he's got great receivers and there's not a lot you can do about. You don't want him to be throwing the ball 35 times a game.

[PFT Commenter]

Game. Right.

[Big Cat]

That's not. That's not what your team is built around. Just because you don't have a quarterback that is putting up the craziest numbers in the stat sheet doesn't mean that you don't have a great football team that is winning games. Which is what he's designed to do.

[PFT Commenter]

Correct. This game was a tough watch. It was a rock fight. But the Eagles defense looked good and they won the rock fight. So who cares, Right?

[Big Cat]

Yeah.

[PFT Commenter]

No. I would like a little bit more creativity on offense there. I saw a lot of wide receiver screens, quick slants. I would like a little bit of a. Something. The Spagnola just dialed up a blitz every single time. I think he blitz on like 60% of plays. Oh, that one. That one sack was so sick. Where they like, closed like. Like Jalen Hurts jumped and he fucking smashed him. Oh, yeah. He got smoked. That was. That was sick. Well, he was trying. He was trying to scramble away.

[Big Cat]

Away from the pass rush, and he just scrambled right into a tackle. Big cat. Do you know who Kansas City's leading rusher is this season?

[PFT Commenter]

It's Patrick Mahomes.

[Big Cat]

Patrick Mahomes?

[PFT Commenter]

Yeah.

[Big Cat]

Is Patrick Mahomes a glorified running back?

[PFT Commenter]

Well, so.

[Big Cat]

Gotta be able to throw the ball in this league.

[PFT Commenter]

I. The Chiefs are. They don't look good. I know they played two good teams, but they don't look good. Their offense does not look good. Patrick Mahomes has not looked sharp, little bro.

[Big Cat]

Ass.

[PFT Commenter]

They're 02 for the first time in Patrick Mahomes career. Patrick Mahomes has lost three times in a row, which is the first time that's happened since 2017. And this is their first time. They're 02 since 2014.

[Big Cat]

The Chiefs are 0 and 2.

[PFT Commenter]

Yeah.

[Big Cat]

02 is a crazy record for the Chiefs. It is once in a lifetime.

[PFT Commenter]

I really, really need the Texans to lose on Monday night. Otherwise I was looking at it and the Chiefs are literally the only team I could. Oh.

[Big Cat]

Yeah.

[PFT Commenter]

I don't. I don't know what to say. I need the Texas to lose because I was looking at the 0 and 2 teams and the only argument for a team that had legitimate super bowl aspirations would be the Houston Texans. Every other team that is 0 and 2 was a dog shit team that. Here are the own two teams. Jets, Dolphins, Browns, Titans, Chiefs, Giants, Bears, Saints, Panthers. Yeah, it's literally just the Texans go Owen 2. Or the Chiefs are my pinky.

[Big Cat]

You know who really you over was memes by losing to the Steelers in week one. I know because then the Steelers would have been a great team. Would have been for Aaron Rodgers. Yeah, perfect, unfortunately. But the.

[PFT Commenter]

The Chiefs are going to get healthy. Like that's. Nah. But are they good?

[Big Cat]

I need to lose.

[PFT Commenter]

I need the Texans to lose. I need the Texans to lose. I cannot have the Chiefs speed because you know the Patrick Mahomes and it will be such torture in the playoffs because you know they're going to win playoff games because they always do. But can Patrick Mahomes win on the Sicko's dream tonight? Patrick Mahomes Sicko's dream bet for people who are maybe new to the show. Every year I pick a pinky team that's 0 and 2 starts season 0 and 2. And I say this team will not win the Super Bowl. And if they do, I'll cut off the very tip of my pinky. For the Chiefs. It might even be more of the very pink tip of my pinky. But we've had two teams in the nine years I've been doing this make the playoffs. The Texans, the year they won like 10 in a row. The J.J. watt Arian Foster Letterman jacket year. And then last year the Rams. What.

[Big Cat]

The.

[PFT Commenter]

The. That was not the Arian Foster JJ Watt year.

[Big Cat]

Are you sure?

[PFT Commenter]

Yeah. I don't even think we were doing the show when that was. When. When did they do the letterman jacket? That was like 2014. Oh, all right. Well, whatever. The Texans made the playoffs. Whatever it was 2016 was the variable. Variable was on the staff, I think. What year did they do the. The letterman jacket? Oh, yeah. It does look like a young J.J. watt.

[Big Cat]

That was Arian's idea, by the way.

[PFT Commenter]

Do you have a date? I think it was 2014. Okay. Says that says I still know if I have the letterman jacket. All right, so four year. Four years later it says. So it wasn't letterman jacket, but it was the Texans year where they won like nine in a row after I picked them. And then last year, the Rams. The Rams were probably the closest because the Rams were a good team last year.

[Big Cat]

If you pick the Chiefs and they win the super bowl, you know that Taylor Swift's going to be watching that live stream.

[PFT Commenter]

Oh, yeah. By the way, should we talk about tj? So that's really what it's at. I need the Texans to lose. The Texans will be my pinky team if they lose. If not, it's going to have to be the Chiefs. And I'm going to. I'm probably going to lose a pinky eventually. I'm going to lose a pinky. We're going to do this show for the next 40 years. I'm going to do this bet every year. Let's say I'm going to lose the pink.

[Big Cat]

Let's plan this out, though. Let's. Let's think about it. It's the Super Bowl.

[PFT Commenter]

Yeah.

[Big Cat]

We're in San Francisco. It is the Kansas City Chiefs against the Green Bay Packers. What do you do?

[PFT Commenter]

I'd lose a pinky for that. The tip. My pinky. I'm gonna go.

[Big Cat]

You'd be rooting for the Chiefs at that point.

[PFT Commenter]

I would definitely be rooting for the Chiefs.

[Big Cat]

I mean, that's. That could happen. Bucks.

[PFT Commenter]

Yeah, I mean, Bucks.

[Big Cat]

Bucks is the play tonight for sure.

[PFT Commenter]

I need the Bucks to win also. Apparently Zach had a great day. I mean, Texas is the play tonight. What do you got? Run of the mill take. I just think the dynasty's over. Oh, yeah. He's finished. Yep. There you go. So you're pinky is fine. I'm not gonna speak for your body parts, but I do think their dynasty's over. Okay. Pinky could be good, but hopefully, you know, I would like to see the Texans lose tomorrow as well. So you could take a Texans. Yeah, I would take the Texans.

[Big Cat]

Zach, what are you seeing out of the Chiefs that make you think the dynasty's over?

[PFT Commenter]

I don't have an in depth knowledge on why I feel such a way, but usually when they pan the camera to Andy Reid, he's got a certain Amount of, like, girth that. A lot of times, yes, but he always looks calm and collected. But this time, it almost looks a little hollow. It looks a little empty, like, oh, are we still there? I'm not sure. You know, I don't think he thinks they're still there.

[Big Cat]

You know what it is? It's the mustache turning gray. Like, in the middle. It looks like he's withering away, fading away.

[PFT Commenter]

We got other grown men throwing temper tantrums on the sideline early in the game.

[Big Cat]

Like, I. I saw Blake has some grays. He's only, like, two years old, but he's got some grays that are coming right around the mouth. And when I saw that, I got sad. I was like, oh, poor guy. That's. That's how I feel now when I look at Andy Reid.

[PFT Commenter]

Andy Reid, great guy. But Dice might be over.

[Big Cat]

Great guy. Travis Kelsey might be back.

[PFT Commenter]

What do you mean?

[Big Cat]

He looked good today.

[PFT Commenter]

Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa. Except he lost a game.

[Big Cat]

Yeah, but I'm saying, like, when he caught and ran, like, his. His athleticism was pretty good today.

[PFT Commenter]

Yeah, but he did pretty much lose him the game.

[Big Cat]

I know, but I'm saying, like, he might be. The rumors of his demise might have been a bit exaggerated because he looked faster than he had then. I saw him all last season, but that.

[PFT Commenter]

That one stiff arm play was good. Yeah, but that play was not a Travis Kelsey play. The not turning his head around quick enough and having the ball bounce into like, that. That was a disastrous, disastrous play. I actually thought that maybe he. He's. He's. He's back athletically, but not. His head's not back because Tay Tay might be pregnant. Did you see her coming into the stadium?

[Big Cat]

I saw that there was a black screen set up.

[PFT Commenter]

Yes. Yeah. Yes. That's the rumor.

[Big Cat]

I'm so dumb that I rumor. I just thought that.

[PFT Commenter]

Did you see her?

[Big Cat]

She didn't want to be photographed.

[PFT Commenter]

Hank. No. They have a wall. A modesty literally created a wall for her entrance, and they rolled it. It as she walked in. Look at this. Something interesting. What a diva. Yeah, something interesting.

[Big Cat]

I don't know if that's a pregnant.

[PFT Commenter]

That's the most dramatic I've ever known.

[Big Cat]

That's the most dramatic.

[PFT Commenter]

Boys. I don't know.

[Big Cat]

It's a bit early for big cat. They're not even married.

[PFT Commenter]

That's true.

[Big Cat]

How would that be possible?

[PFT Commenter]

Just get engaged. But shotgun wedding.

[Big Cat]

I saw. I saw the pregnancy or the. The engagement pictures. She wasn't pregnant in those.

[PFT Commenter]

Well, she's not showing. Not showing right now. Maybe it's a month later. She needs a wall.

[Big Cat]

She could wear a jacket, though.

[PFT Commenter]

She could like, you know, or she could wear a wall.

[Big Cat]

You don't need a wall guy to walk around next to you.

[PFT Commenter]

Why? Why? Why have to put on a big jacket when you could wear a wall?

[Big Cat]

Maybe she got a bad haircut.

[PFT Commenter]

Although didn't last year.

[Big Cat]

Didn't.

[PFT Commenter]

Wasn't she put in like a vending machine or something? Popcorn. Popcorn. Yeah.

[Big Cat]

They put Taylor Swift in a vending machine.

[PFT Commenter]

They hit her in a popcorn machine. Yeah.

[Big Cat]

Memes. Memes backs me up on that.

[PFT Commenter]

Yeah. It was like popcorn machine. Yeah. Is there a chance the Chiefs might not make the playoffs? Yeah.

[Big Cat]

Yeah, dude. Their own.

[PFT Commenter]

Make them your pinky team.

[Big Cat]

Let's bring. I would much rather have it be the Texans team.

[PFT Commenter]

Well, it's because also, the AFC west is tough. I mean, the Chargers are good. The Broncos seem like they're good. The Raiders are friskier than they've been. I know this is all only through one week. They did play the Eagles tough, but it never felt like the Chiefs were going to, like, pull away or anything. And that last, like, it was a 20 to 10 game. Then they just started bombing the ball to Taekwond Thornton, who is very fast. Missed a couple of those. Yeah, I don't. I don't know. It definitely Hank going like, remember when the Patriots used to go, Owen 2 is like, it's over. And then Zach is playing the role of Max Kellerman right now. No, the Chiefs look bad. This is different.

[Big Cat]

This is much different.

[PFT Commenter]

They look bad.

[Big Cat]

They look bad. It's way different.

[PFT Commenter]

They don't have any weapons. Their offense looks so. I mean, the fact that Patrick Mahomes is running the ball as much as he is in week two tells me something's wrong because he runs the ball usually like playoffs when he has to win. And it's like, I need to play. And he ran the ball a lot today on the broadcast, I think they.

[Big Cat]

Said that exact thing. It was like, normally, I don't like.

[PFT Commenter]

To run until the playoffs, but. But this year I feel like I need to. Yeah.

[Big Cat]

I think, like, he's also throwing his body around a little bit more, which is.

[PFT Commenter]

He did kind of up one of the Eagles. That was kind of sick. Chief's player is also wearing, like, Free Rice shirts. Is crazy.

[Big Cat]

Free Rice.

[PFT Commenter]

Rashid Rice. I guess Rashid Rice is going to come back and so is Xavier worthy. That actually. Okay. That's what I. That's why I told you.

[Big Cat]

I was like, they're gonna get worthy. Not healthy. Well, I don't know. I think. I think the Chiefs Big Head Only 9% of teams that start out owing to make the playoffs. It's a 90 chance that you don't. You don't have to even worry about your pinky.

[PFT Commenter]

That's actually crazy that I've been doing this for eight years and two. Two times I've had a playoff team. Yeah, that's not. That's less that. That's higher than 9% because you picked.

[Big Cat]

Some of the better. Oh yeah.

[PFT Commenter]

True. Is Jake Elliott back? Max? Jake Elliott is looking very back. He looks very bad. He was. He's awesome again. Yeah. So you feel good 20 feel good. I feel good. I could feel better. Defense look better. Offense not played great for six quarters now. Yes. Yeah. And you have the new play caller. So that makes you a little nervous because last time you did the play caller thing, you had a year from hell. Well, we have.

[Big Cat]

We've had five offensive coordinators in six years.

[PFT Commenter]

Right. I'm saying you had Shane Steichen, Winter super bowl, lost them, had a year from hell. Then last year had Kellen Moore. Kellen Moore. You hope that Kevin Petula is more Kellen more than he is. Who is he? Who's in the year from hell? Johnson. Brian. Yeah. Yeah. Brian Johnson or whatever. I don't know. Or is that. That's the guy that's trying to live forever and like in charts has come. I. I think that is his name. That.

[Big Cat]

Yeah, it's the guy he charts like his son one's boners.

[PFT Commenter]

Boners. Yeah. Yeah, you're right. Yeah.

[Big Cat]

Also the singer memory insane. What memes is memes pulls like this.

[PFT Commenter]

This memory stuff all the time. He. He just knows everything. Good memory memes, good memory. Okay, last one. I have The Roback question. Rho B-A C K.com promo code take 20 off your first purchase. Q Zips, polos, hoodies, joggers, shorts. Roback.com promo code take. Is JJ McCarthy bad?

[Big Cat]

That's what he wants you to think.

[PFT Commenter]

He was bad tonight.

[Big Cat]

He was. He was ass.

[PFT Commenter]

He got his ass kicked. And I also just want to say credit to the Falcons. I think the Falcons defense is really good. Does make me a little nervous that if we're doing the transitive property game, what are our biggest takeaways from week two? Because watching the Falcons demolish the Vikings makes me think the Bears are even worse than I thought. And that was then. I thought four hours ago. After they got a 50 burger put on them.

[Big Cat]

Yeah, that's bad for you.

[PFT Commenter]

And the Packers, I think those are the biggest two transit property takeaways. The Packers. Packers are really, really, really good. Yep. And the Bears are really, really, really, really ass. Steelers might be bad. Yep. Yep. That might be a transitive property one. Yep.

[Big Cat]

Good job. Yeah, that was good. Yeah, I like that. No, he's the one that sucks. Don't forget about him. Yeah, I'd say. I'd say that those are the two most fair takeaways from that because every. You start to run into like circular logic with any other team, but you can look at those like, it's too.

[PFT Commenter]

Early to do this, but it's fun to do it. It's fun to be like, oh, we have two data points. Let's just make some sweeping generalizations from.

[Big Cat]

All of it because you could say that the Vikings have played four halves and three out of the four halves have sucked offensively.

[PFT Commenter]

Yeah.

[Big Cat]

The Falcons didn't look great on offense. They just kicked a shitload of field goals.

[PFT Commenter]

Yeah. Yeah. No, they did. Parker, Romo.

[Big Cat]

Yeah. But the. The JJ McCarthy discourse is going to be very fun to watch this because, yeah, he played like dog.

[PFT Commenter]

I will say in J.J. mcCarthy's defense, he's obviously. I think Kelly got hurt. Darasal is still not playing. Addison still not playing. Also had a baby like 48 hours ago, so probably not the most ideal setting.

[Big Cat]

No. The Falcons had, I think, a pretty good game plan. They just sucked in the red zone. Yeah. They just couldn't. They couldn't punch it in when it was close. They had penalties, they had all sorts of miscues. But Brian Bijan Robinson was awesome today. Their game plan seemed to be just get him the ball any possible way that you can. It was a great game plan. And then they just it up with procedural stuff and couldn't get in the red zone or in the end zone where they were in the red zone. And.

[PFT Commenter]

And for the Falcons, you haven't had a defensive game like this in a long time, so this probably feels very good. They sacked. Did they sack J.J. mcCarthy five times in the first half alone? I believe. I think it was six total. But five times in the first half. They were all over the place. Felt like they were flying. So, yeah, I. Falcons might be good.

[Big Cat]

I think they are.

[PFT Commenter]

Might be ass.

[Big Cat]

And I think. I think Pennix is good. Good.

[PFT Commenter]

Pennix might be good.

[Big Cat]

I don't think he's like very good yet, but I think he's good. I think that the Falcons when they, they probably signed Kirk Cousins and said, hey, this is a smoke screen. No one's going to think that we're going to draft Michael Pennock, so it'll fall to us. So let's just pay this guy a hundred million dollars so we get our guy. And it worked.

[PFT Commenter]

Galaxy. Galaxy. Brain thinking.

[Big Cat]

Yep.

[PFT Commenter]

Yeah. Okay. Any other big takeaways from. From week two, like big time one. So Chiefs bad. Bears, jets ass. Steelers might be bad. Falcons might be good.

[Big Cat]

Aubrey better than Tom Brady.

[PFT Commenter]

Aubrey. Tom Brady. Yeah. Don't. Don't let PFT draft a team for you.

[Big Cat]

No. Lions good.

[PFT Commenter]

Lions good. Ravens really good. But we knew that Bill's really good. Patriots bad. FC's just bad. Bad.

[Big Cat]

Easy for the Bills bad. Patriots bad or paid or Patriots question mark.

[PFT Commenter]

Patriots bad. Patriots. Yeah. Patriots are not.

[Big Cat]

It's hard to win on the road. They.

[PFT Commenter]

Yeah. Maybe sneaking hard to beat Tua. Very tough own seven against two up until today.

[Big Cat]

Especially with a shitty kicker.

[PFT Commenter]

Yeah.

[Big Cat]

Good against bad teams. Struggle against good teams. Okay.

[PFT Commenter]

What would be, I guess the only thing that could happen on Monday Night Football that would make me feel a little bit better if the Texans end up winning is if the Chargers then lose. Because then maybe the Chiefs are really bad.

[Big Cat]

Yeah.

[PFT Commenter]

Transitive property.

[Big Cat]

Yeah. And best case, worst case for that would be that the Raiders might be good because then they'll also be.

[PFT Commenter]

Also be a formidable.

[Big Cat]

Yeah. So if the. If the Raiders beat the Chiefs or beat the Chargers, no worries because then they're going to kick the shit out of the Chiefs.

[PFT Commenter]

Right.

[Big Cat]

Got it.

[PFT Commenter]

Right. Okay. Should we do who's back of the Week and we'll end the show. Who's back of the Week, Hank?

[Big Cat]

Who's back of the week is Twisted.

[PFT Commenter]

T. Oh, let's go. New alcohol sponsor alert.

[Big Cat]

At least.

[PFT Commenter]

I didn't even realize it was sitting here the whole time. Twisted T. I mean, this is.

[Big Cat]

This is.

[PFT Commenter]

This is a beautiful, beautiful moment for me personally. I'm sure you guys as well. I love twisted teas. Going back to the day I turned 21.

[Big Cat]

It was.

[PFT Commenter]

It was my favorite thing to drink. Best thing to drink in the summer. Best thing to drink anytime. Really. Yep. Twisted tea. The official hard iced tea of part of my take. Yes.

[Big Cat]

Love that.

[PFT Commenter]

Beautiful, beautiful future coming. That was.

[Big Cat]

Great flavors, too.

[PFT Commenter]

Great flavors.

[Big Cat]

Original peach, half and half, raspberry peach.

[PFT Commenter]

My favorite.

[Big Cat]

Sipping on an OG right now.

[PFT Commenter]

Twisted tea is the perfect alcohol beverage to keep the good times going all season long. Whether you're hanging out at a friend's house, catching a game at the stadium or at the bar, or just seeing where the day takes you, Twisted Tea is there to turn your day up a notch and make a good time, a great time.

I don't think they do it.

[Big Cat]

Anymore, but they used to put the.

[PFT Commenter]

Pictures on the back of the bottles. Oh, they do. I. I used to try so hard to get out. We should. We should try. We should actually absolutely try. I used to try so hard to get on the back of these people. Tweet us your. Your pictures with your. Your twisted teas. I. So Eddie had his block party, like, a month and a half ago, and he had every single alcohol you can imagine stocked in his fridge. I drink twisted teas the whole night light. That was before they even came on. I. I absolutely love Twisted Te.

[Big Cat]

Super refreshing.

[PFT Commenter]

They are so, so good. So we're Twisted T podcast now. Tweet us your picture. You hanging out with twisted Tea. Great. Like, great. Sipping on the couch drink. You know what I mean? Like, just sitting down, having a couple twisted teas at the end of the night, having a couple twisted teas while you watch some football or a tailgate. Like, yeah, maybe it's, you know, in the. In the morning, like, you don't want to. You don't want to out get too crazy. You just want to ease into it. Twisted tea.

[Big Cat]

I was gonna say start of the night. Twisted tea.

[PFT Commenter]

Yeah. Hot day. Twisted tea. Yeah. On a boat. Twisted tea. Hank, do you have another who's back? Yeah, my. Who's other who's back is Ken Rosenthal. Yes.

[Big Cat]

Oh, I saw this video. I saw it tonight.

[PFT Commenter]

Whitney tweeted it. I saw it from. From Ryan. Whitney, our colleague tweeted was a post game. He was about to do an interview player, which is pretty. Pretty normal in. In baseball.

[Big Cat]

The player who was about to get.

[PFT Commenter]

Interviewed, his teammate came over, dumped the. The water, Gatorade, whatever it was on him. And then Ken Rosenthal tried to get out of the way. There's a guy behind him who just, you know, happened to be in Ken's way. And Ken Rosendahl looked like he might have, like, taken the guy out back and murdered him. He Was so mad. I've never seen someone look more. He literally shot, like. Looked daggers through this guy's soul. It was so funny.

[Big Cat]

Staring at. Bowled him over like he was Derrick Henry.

[PFT Commenter]

Yeah.

[Big Cat]

And then just stood over him. Down.

[PFT Commenter]

Don't get in. Ken Rosenthal shot like, hey, what the.

[Big Cat]

That's a man right there. Oh. And then he gave a little, like, I'm sorry. Afterwards. But you can't hide what his initial reaction was. No, his initial reaction was like, yeah, a running back getting into the end zone on, like, a fourth and one from the.

[PFT Commenter]

I don't even. I don't think he gave it. I'm sorry. No. He started shaking his head as he's walking away. You motherfucker. Why would you be there? He was so pissed. We got to tell our story, even though we've told it before, because someone tweeted at me today. Every time I see Ken Rosenthal. Hank and I on the flight to. With Ken Rosenthal sitting across from us. I forgot about. I forgot about it until someone treated me because I tweeted the video this morning when I first saw. And someone was like, every time I see Ken Rosenthal, I think of the story of you and Hank told. Told on the podcast a few years ago. It's actually, like, seven years ago. We get. We get. I think we're going to Miami. We got to Miami. Ken Rosenthal just in this. We land. The seatbelt thing goes off. Everyone stands up. Ken Rosenthal, in one just perfect motion, hopped up onto his seat to get his. To go to his overhead compartment and get his bag down. And Hank and I witnessed it, and we were just dying laughing.

[Big Cat]

Was he wearing the bow tie?

[PFT Commenter]

I think he might have been. I don't know. He was probably, like, a quarter zip. But it was such a move that we knew he did that every time because he did it so quickly. It was just like, ding, boom. He hopped right up, grabbed his bag, hop right down.

[Big Cat]

Sports journalist.

[PFT Commenter]

Never seen it before.

[Big Cat]

They're creatures of habit. If he did that once, that means he does that every time he's on a plane. I got. I got a system.

[PFT Commenter]

Hey, can I was just. Because you're sitting right across from, like, did we just see that? Is that really what just happened?

[Big Cat]

And. And you're right. He does not, like, wave to him to say, I'm sorry. He's got his palm up. Like, what the are you doing?

[PFT Commenter]

He's mad.

[Big Cat]

I thought the palm was down. Being like, my bad. No, he's just like, what the.

[PFT Commenter]

Yeah. Yeah. Oh, man. Okay, good. Who's back? Good. Who's back? Pft.

[Big Cat]

Great. Who's back? My. Who's back? Is another guy getting run over.

[PFT Commenter]

Yeah.

[Big Cat]

Brian Kelly.

[PFT Commenter]

Yeah.

[Big Cat]

Got run over again on the sidelines. And we'll talk more about college football on Wednesday. But that was. So he got absolutely truck sticked on the sidelines. I think America. I don't know if people still root for lsu. Like, definitely not like they did when Coach O was there. But LSU's always been a likable school.

[PFT Commenter]

Yeah.

[Big Cat]

And I find myself liking them in spite of Brian Kelly. Not. Not be. I still want bad things to happen to Brian Kelly as lsu who does good. And that was just a perfect moment that we got to watch. It was where it was. Yes. LSU is kicking the out of Florida and Brian Kelly's also maybe getting a little bit injured on the sideline.

[PFT Commenter]

And then he had an all time press conference.

[Big Cat]

He flipped out at a reporter for being like, yeah, had a little Calhoun in him. Yeah. He was like, your running game's not that good. I'll just say it. And then Brian Kelly is like, did you watch the game? You see the last play of the game? Checkmate.

[PFT Commenter]

Yeah.

[Big Cat]

The guy preface it too. Like, oh, I know the game just ended.

[PFT Commenter]

You don't like to do this, but you know, what'd you think out there? And he's like, no, we're not doing that. It's like you.

[Big Cat]

That was, that was.

[PFT Commenter]

That was like more bratty than calhouni. Yeah. But he, yeah, when he, when he said you're spoiled, that's what I think you are. You're spoiled. Brian in the back.

[Big Cat]

I know you, you love these immediate post game sessions, but what are you.

[PFT Commenter]

Seeing with your offense? Stop. Really? We won the game 20 to 10.

[Big Cat]

Try another question.

[PFT Commenter]

What do you want me to tell you? Tell you they try another question.

[Big Cat]

We played the game to win the game.

[PFT Commenter]

We played the game to win the game. All right, how about third down then? What is going on with third down?

[Big Cat]

It's one game.

[PFT Commenter]

Last game we were great on third down.

[Big Cat]

Your micro.

[PFT Commenter]

You're looking at this from the wrong perspective. LSU won the football game.

[Big Cat]

Won the game.

[PFT Commenter]

I don't know what you want from me. Me. What do you want? You want us to win 70 to nothing against Florida to keep you happy? No, I think people want to know why you can't run the ball. Quite. We can run the ball. Did you see the last play of the game? That's all you need. You just need one. There's a ridiculous questions and I'm getting tired of it. That football team just worked their tail.

[Big Cat]

Off to get an SEC win.

[PFT Commenter]

And you want to know what's wrong? You know what? You. You're spoiled.

[Big Cat]

You're spoiled.

[PFT Commenter]

This team is 17 and one at night. 17 and one.

[Big Cat]

Give them some respect.

[PFT Commenter]

How about that? I love it.

[Big Cat]

By the way, last week they played Louisiana Tech.

[PFT Commenter]

Yeah.

[Big Cat]

And they won 23 to 7.

[PFT Commenter]

Yeah. Yeah.

[Big Cat]

I think it's a fair question.

[PFT Commenter]

By the way. I have a question for you guys, and this is kind of similar, but there was a viral tweet going around that was like, here's all the. Here's all the apps and everything you need to watch every game today. And I know that's a big discussion because, like, NBA has split it up. And that's different because NBA is like, that's one league. College football is the one spot where I actually don't have a problem that you have to. Because there was a day not too long ago, you know, 10, 15 years ago, where you couldn't watch any of these.

[Big Cat]

Yeah. Because it won't. It's not like there's going to be one provider that's capable.

[PFT Commenter]

Right.

[Big Cat]

Airing every single game because there's so many of them.

[PFT Commenter]

Right. It's not like the NFL splitting up is kind of bullshit. Where it's like, oh, yeah, we have Amazon. Then you got to get YouTube TV and all this stuff. But like, college football, you just didn't watch half the games because you just didn't have access to them. I'm actually. That's the one sport where I'm like, yes, thank you. That you actually have given me the chance to be able to watch every game.

[Big Cat]

Yeah. And if you're a casual college football fan, guess what? You don't need all those apps.

[PFT Commenter]

No.

[Big Cat]

You just need a couple.

[PFT Commenter]

But I'm. Yeah. Because I know that's like a. That's a very, like, I understand it for all the other professional leagues, but college football, when I saw that one, I was like, wait, I. I'm pumped that I actually have access to all these games now where you used to not be able to.

[Big Cat]

Yeah.

[PFT Commenter]

Okay. My. Who's back of the week? I have two. The first is Anthony Rizzo because he retired as a Cub on Saturday. All time Cub, one of my favorite Cubs. He had had an incredible day. He went in the bleachers, mobile bell, Esteros hit his first career home run and it hit Rizzo in the hand. The odds of that happening are so insane. So insane.

[Big Cat]

It's crazy. But also respect to everybody that was Around Rizzo because they all kind of backed off and let Rizzo have a shot at it.

[PFT Commenter]

Yeah. And then Rizzo threw it back, which was awesome. So he could have his home run ball. But, yeah, the odds of him sitting in the bleachers. He bought everyone a beer. He was wearing his jer. He got. He retired in a jersey that was signed by all the kids that he visited at the cancer hospital when he was a Cub. He's obviously a cancer survivor. Just an all time, all time guy. All time Cub. He was there before they got good. He was there for the World Series. I was able to catch up with him on Saturday night because he had a party and it was like, just trading memories with him for like 10 minutes was so awesome. He's just the best. So really cool. Like, perfect day, perfect weather, everything. Gotta catch that ball, he said. But he. He thought quick on his feet. He's like, that's why I'm retired. Which is a great classic move. Like, that's a dad joke, but it works. He's a dad.

[Big Cat]

But if he catches that ball.

[PFT Commenter]

Yeah.

[Big Cat]

That is the coolest moment I've ever.

[PFT Commenter]

Oh, yeah. He should have brought a glove. Yeah. I was trying to get him to get in at bat.

[Big Cat]

Foul ball guy would make that grab.

[PFT Commenter]

But he's one of those, like, there's, you know, a lot of sports figures you look up to or you idolize or, you know, you put on a pedestal. He's one guy that can. Because he is just the best dude ever. He actually. So at this party, like, this is how cool of a dude Anthony Rizzo is at this party on Saturday night. I talked to the. These two guys came up to me and they're like, hey, Big Awl has been listening to the beginning. I was like, how do you guys know Rizzo? He was like, Rizzo. We housed Rizzo when he was a minor leaguer in Portland, Maine.

[Big Cat]

That's cool.

[PFT Commenter]

Like 14 years ago. And Rizzo invited them out, the whole family out for his retirement. That's awesome. Isn't that insane? Like, that's awesome. It's very, very cool. He's like, yeah. Rizzo has kept in touch with us ever since. Like, all we did was that's what minor leaguers, you know, like, that they house the families, house different players. It's like he's kept in touch with us ever since. He's always made us feel included. Just an awesome dude. Yeah.

[Big Cat]

And also it's very cool that he's retiring as a Cuban Cub and just being like, yeah, this is where my heart is.

[PFT Commenter]

Yeah. Yeah. I think they're gonna. I think he's doing some, like, Ambassador work, so it's cool that the Cubs are not.

[Big Cat]

This one bad first pitch, though. That's why he's retired.

[PFT Commenter]

Yeah, that's why he's retired. That's why he's retired. Okay. And my other who's back is boxing because that Bud Crawford Canelo fight was awesome. I don't know if you guys are able to watch. I watched in the morning because I could not. It started so late.

[Big Cat]

I saw the highlights of it. Yeah, it was an ass kicking.

[PFT Commenter]

Yeah. Yeah, it was awesome. Boxing might be back. Unless rigged, not rigged.

[Big Cat]

Oh, one of the undercards, maybe.

[PFT Commenter]

Oh, what are you talking about?

[Big Cat]

The stoppage in the undercard.

[PFT Commenter]

Is that what you're talking about? Are you talking about. Ain't Ross getting the phone call? He had a million dollar wager on. On Canelo. Then he got a phone call right before the fight was like, you got to switch your bet. Unnamed guy. I just got one of those calls. Well, Crawford's really good.

[Big Cat]

That's fair.

[PFT Commenter]

That's just speculation on maybe rigged. That's. That's the only. Okay. And Canelo is kind of old.

[Big Cat]

I don't know how you would rig that, though, like boxing, if you're talking about the judges, everybody that watched that was like, yeah, Crawford won. That was the right decision.

[PFT Commenter]

Yeah. I don't think Canelo would take a dive. He's pretty proud guy. But either way, boxing back until Mike Tyson fights someone.

[Big Cat]

I think he's fighting Mayweather.

[PFT Commenter]

Yeah.

[Big Cat]

Yeah. Can't wait.

[PFT Commenter]

Did you see him give a punch to Mr. Beast and like, almost knock Mr. Beast out? Just a body punch. It was awesome.

[Big Cat]

It's gonna be the worst fight ever.

[PFT Commenter]

Yeah. But hey, if it's on Netflix, it'll be free, right? So I'll be cool. Yeah, that'd be cool. All right, Zach.

[Big Cat]

My who's back of the week is.

[PFT Commenter]

The new is the Colts owner Carly Ursay, because she was not only on.

[Big Cat]

The sidelines again this week, headphones in.

[PFT Commenter]

Listening to every play call and with the notepad taking down notes.

[Big Cat]

She's also seen with kind of a massive Cuban link chain on, which was.

[PFT Commenter]

I thought was a wild move from an owner. It looked very powerful. I just wanted to say that she looks like a force to be reckoned with on the sideline today.

[Big Cat]

I like that, Zach. Is she single?

[PFT Commenter]

I believe maybe married.

[Big Cat]

Okay.

[PFT Commenter]

Looks like a ring or no.

[Big Cat]

I was going with the cute.

[PFT Commenter]

The massive chain she's rocking here in this photo. Well, I just.

[Big Cat]

I just.

[PFT Commenter]

It looked powerful.

[Big Cat]

I wasn't sure if she was coming.

[PFT Commenter]

Out as a debut artist, maybe dropping.

[Big Cat]

In R B album or she just trying to accessorize. Harley, Justin, Jefferson Train Carly.

[PFT Commenter]

If you're single, similar Zach is single. Imagine Zach owned the Colts that rock. We'd still make you do the podcast. I would want nothing more. Okay. I love being here. That would be very funny if he had to helicopter in.

[Big Cat]

Yeah.

[PFT Commenter]

The game. Zach's just walking behind her on the sideline.

[Big Cat]

Helicopter may be most unsafest way to travel.

[PFT Commenter]

Submarine.

[Big Cat]

Never mind, I retract.

[PFT Commenter]

I don't know. I'm just throwing out other ways. You threw that out there.

[Big Cat]

James Cameron's pretty good on a sub.

[PFT Commenter]

The Challenger. The rocket. The Challenger.

[Big Cat]

Those.

[PFT Commenter]

That has to be one of the most unsafe ways.

[Big Cat]

Those three wheeler cars, they look pretty unsafe.

[PFT Commenter]

Oh, yeah.

[Big Cat]

Slingshots.

[PFT Commenter]

Yeah. I saw a guy in my neighborhood run riding one of those around like just as he just was like, what are you doing, dude? I would say an old guy too.

[Big Cat]

Number one most unsafe way to travel. Catapult.

[PFT Commenter]

Catapult. Yeah, catapult. Definitely high up there. Hot air balloon. Yeah, that hot air balloon would be very unsafe.

[Big Cat]

Never tell you about the hot air balloon accident.

[PFT Commenter]

No. I went on survive on a hot.

[Big Cat]

Air balloon when I was living in Texas, and then like a year later, that same hot air balloon went up in the air. Crashed. Deadliest hot air balloon accident in the history of the United States.

[PFT Commenter]

Whoa.

[Big Cat]

And the guy that was the pilot was my pilot. And he was loaded up on like nine different drugs.

[PFT Commenter]

Whoa.

[Big Cat]

Yeah. Never again. Hot air balloon.

[PFT Commenter]

Shoosh. Never again.

[Big Cat]

Never again.

[PFT Commenter]

Do you guys have any picks? Oh, Zach, do you want to say anything about the. The Bucks game? Bucks. Texans.

[Big Cat]

I'm looking forward to Bucks going to play in Texans. I don't want to say too much.

[PFT Commenter]

I don't want to. What's your numbers? 3.

[Big Cat]

You're a piece of 22.

[PFT Commenter]

Zach feels a little embarrassed that I used him as a Trojan horse in that conversation.

[Big Cat]

67.

[PFT Commenter]

Zach, I would like to hear your thoughts on the game real quick.

[Big Cat]

Not too many thoughts. I just want.

[PFT Commenter]

I just want us to go there. I want to get away. Just three. There we go. Are you going to watch with Stephen, Chad? Okay.

[Big Cat]

Yeah. I love the washing game.

[PFT Commenter]

20. Okay. 33. You got to win, Zach, for my pinky. You got to win. Got to win. We're going to put in such an effort for your pinky for both of them.

[Big Cat]

Texans.

[PFT Commenter]

What's your. What's your number? Memes 20. Bree Hall. He had a hell of a game today. Yeah, he'll probably be a chief. Did you say your number? Pft.

[Big Cat]

67. Hank.

[PFT Commenter]

Everyone. Do it again. 22.

[Big Cat]

99.

[PFT Commenter]

Put. 33.

[PFT Commenter]

Shane, any thoughts on the Chargers? Real quick. Hope we win. Bolt up 93. Does someone have 93?

[Big Cat]

No.

[PFT Commenter]

93.

[Big Cat]

Love you guys.
