We start in London town, where the Jaguars tried to build Hadrian's Wall to contain Rome, but it wasn't enough after Cole Comecchala soared twice. And stop me if you've heard this before, but Jason Derulo has just fallen down the stairs again. Keenan Allen wrench took a right angle for two touchdown scores, further bolting the screws on Doug Peterson's coaching casket. Doggies in a box, in a box, in a box.
Bears 35, Jaguars 16. Down to Palmer, Maryland. With a battle of the beltway, don't say gay flowers. Bears embraced man-to-man coverage, as a wide receiver went for 137 yards.
Marky Mark Andrews committed some hate crimes against the Washington defense, as we were lucky the game wasn't a tie. Late. Truth or Derrick Henry went streaking as the Ravens rolled to another victory. The Ravens 30.
The Commanders 23. Up to Green Bay, where they were saying, Romeo, Romeo, where art thou, Romeo? Dobbs reunited with his forbidden love. Jordan, that is, leaning up for two scores.
Arizona couldn't hold a candle to Melton Witts, and the Packers ran up the score, leaving the Cardinals fishing for an answer, as their fans are saying, Michael Wilson, king of touchdowns. We lay this hate on you. Packers 34. Cardinals 13.
Down to the big easy, where Spencer Gifts Rattler threw very tacky balls to Arian Foster Moreau, who in true communist fashion failed to capitalize on Bucs. God wins again, atheist. Sean Penis Tucker showed everyone he was a mangina, scoring twice, and despite all my rage, I am still just a rat in the cage. As Otten had Saints fans smashing pumpkins early in the fourth quarter, as the Bucs put up a 50-burger.
The Bucs, 51. The Saints, 27. We head on over to Foxborough for Drake Mays. First game, Hank.
You looked at me like you weren't ready, but Hank's ready. You mean we go over to Dillette? We're at long last. It was time for the main event.
CJ Sean Stroud took the Texans down, down, down, down, down, down. The field. They threw a touchdown to Tank. Dun-dun-dun-dun.
Dell. To get the scoring started. Joe Mixon-A-Water added a rushing speed of his own before October's very own Drake Mays found K-Sean. Booty, booty, booty, booty.
Rockin' everywhere for a 40-yard score. Speaking of booty everywhere, Stephon Coach Diggs scored on a glitch play. As the Texans roll over the Patriots. 41-21.
I thought I had some more, but I don't know why they went. Boom. That's okay, boom. Don't get my homework, boom.
That's all right, boom. Good job, boom. To Sin City, where Steelers Vegas was the plot of Ocean's Eleven. Hoping for an easy W, but ending up like easy E, Aids and O'Connell left with some bad blood towards Pittsburgh.
When Ask Post came about his touchdown run, Najee Kamala Harris said, I grew up in a middle class family and used to work at McDonald's. Pittsburgh, 32. The Raiders, 13. Over in Denver, where B.O.
Nix doesn't deserve the axe, even though he was body spraying a ball over the field. J.K. Rowland Dobbins was a turf monster, scoring a touchdown and racking up 96 yards on the day. The white Bronco himself, Riley Moss, couldn't go fast enough down the L.A.
freeway as he took a few stabs in a big play, but ended up on the losing end. O.J. O.J. Simpson, a much better player than a human being.
Chargers, 23. The Broncos, 16. In Dallas, there were a lot of anger kits made, and it looked like a Kareem Hunt video as Tim Patrick starred. And unless you've been living under a rock, the Lions are good.
The Lion Cowboys, like Enos and Jack, telling their wives there was nothing happening up on that mountain. And much like that film, the Cowboys sucked on D, letting the Lions put up 47. Dax Delente showed his asshole and his butt crap again. Big fucking deal.
We've never seen an asshole before. Lions, 37. Cowboys, 9. And happy birthday to Jerry Jones, the biggest asshole in the world.
Standing on the corner, Jameis Winston Cuyahoga, such a fine sight to see. Another record loss, the Eagles taking off. Can the Browns just end the season, please? Sirianni hates masks.
They just have that dumb ass. He's the kid as human shield. Is he in hummus? Eagles 20, Brown 16.
And that is the fastest two minutes from week six in the NFL. Brought to you by our friends at Chevy. There's a reason we've never done a Mount Rushmore pickup trucks, and that's because for Pardon My Take, there's only one pickup truck, the Chevy Silverado. Why is that?
Well, Silverado's a partner, a partner you can depend on. We've all spent time driving and using the Silverado for all kinds of Pardon My Take jobs, adventures, and other shenanigans. And Silverado has been our ride for a cross-country trip to the Super Bowl. Silverado has helped us dig the biggest hole ever in the state of Ohio last year.
Grit Week, Silverado helped us give fullbacks the recognition they deserve with a Loman Award. And this year, Silverado was out west with us for our latest Grit Week. Silverado brings the Grit 2, legendary Grit paired with modern truck tech, inside and out, massive screens up to eight cameras with 14 different views to help make driving, towing, and parking all easier.

Discover a world of strength and capability all behind the wheel of our favorite truck, the Chevy Silverado. Okay, week six in the books. We'll recap Sunday Night Football, Snoozefest Sunday Night Football, at the end of everything, because it's still going on. But boys, scoring might be back in the NFL, outside of Sunday Night Football.
Finally. We had nine games in week six where our team went over 30 points. Yeah, we had some great, great games, if you bet the overs today. The Bucs-Saints game, I feel like that, in basically the first quarter.
That was insane. Yeah. But we also had, it felt like, a bunch of the favorites. One, not a lot of surprises, some statement games that we had.
Maybe the worst birthday. Yeah, for Jerry Jones. Put that in the tickler for the ticky words. Worst birthday.
Worst birthday. Yeah. So, let's get into the games, though. We started with the London game.
Bears 35, Jaguars 16. I very much enjoyed this game. I bet you did. This was a very fun game.
This is why people wanted me to freak out after two weeks. This game felt good, because Gale Williams was awesome. He threw four touchdown passes. He ran for 56 yards.
He was actually the fourth QB ever to have four plus, rookie QB ever to have four plus TDs and 50 rushing yards in a game. He also is the first QB pick, number one overall in the common draft era to start four and two. Yes. So, four out of six, which is a little indication of when I said that he was going into the best situation a number one pick has ever gone into.
Yes, the offensive line. Which was bad to start the season. It looked a lot better. This is kind of what I'm talking about, because the Bears defense continues to put, even with all their injuries, elite performances together every single week, and essentially gives the offense, like, there's been 12 games that the team's gone over 21 points on the Bears.
And Gale Williams, the Keenan Allen connection, just everything. It all looked awesome. You also had the Travis Hunter of the NFL today, Cole Komet. Yeah.
Cole Komet, he had two touchdowns, right? Two touchdowns. Two touchdowns, and then there was an injury to your long snapper. Yep.
So, Cole Komet couldn't even celebrate his touchdowns, because he had to run to the line of scrimmage and be the emergency long snapper. Yes. And I don't think he fucked up a single snap either. No, he didn't.
He was awesome. Keenan Allen was awesome. That's been, like, a focus, because he obviously started injured the season. Now he's back, and he's kind of the safety valve.
Kale Williams' touchdown throw where he hit him back shoulder, which was so perfect. Just everything. Like, even Kale Williams' one interception, which was a bad throw, you saw it. It was like DJ Moore was wide open.
If he throws that correctly, it's a touchdown. From that point on, he scored. He went four touchdown drives in a row. Yeah.
So, it's like, that's the type of stuff that you see from Kale Williams. And again, it's just like, every week he's gotten better. People will say, well, they're playing bad teams. They're also destroying bad teams.
And this is why I didn't freak out after two weeks. And this is why everyone wanted me to call him a bus, and everyone was like, he's a bus. Now we see the Bears are four and two, and I feel happy. Four and two's a pretty good record.
Four and two's a good record. And listen, they've gotten better every week. Shane Waldron's gotten better. The offensive line's gotten better.
DeAndre Swift's gotten better. Get bi-week coming up. Get some guys healthy on the defense. Like, we lost three defensive starters this week.
So, get them healthy. Everything feels good. We're not very smart on this show. And I think the only thing that we're smart about is how often we say that we're not smart.
We nail that take all the time. Yep. But we do know what sleep is. And we know how to optimize sleep.
Yep. And so, there's a big sleep gap in between the teams that go over to London. Now, obviously, the Jags, they got thrown off by the hurricane. Yep.
I don't know what their plan was going into the week. If they planned on going over earlier, if they were always going to go on Thursday evening or afternoon or whatever they were. Okay. So, I feel comfortable saying, that's a shitty sleep plan.
Yeah. You have to have a better sleep plan than that. The Bears got there on Monday. They got there on Tuesday.
They got there on Tuesday. Now, they get to catch up on their sleep, come back on bye week. Yeah. And we got an hour back this weekend.
We just changed the clocks. The Jaguars do do that every time. And they are used to, obviously, going to London. And if you're watching this game, you would think that the Jaguars were the ones that had more sleep.
Because in the first quarter, the Bears were sleepwalking. The Jaguars had a nice 10-play drive to go down the field. And I think it was a field goal to start. But then it just flipped.
And the Bears woke up. And it was such an enjoyable watch. I had so much fun. I'm not going to make any crazy statements about Caleb Williams going forward.
I'm just going to say, I've enjoyed trusting the process of Caleb Williams and watching him get better every single week. He still has ways to go. But it's fun to see him do things that no other Bears quarterback has ever done. And he actually just tied, through six games, tied the record for most touchdowns for a rookie Bears QB with Jim McMahon 9.
That's pretty good. Pretty good. Low bar. Pretty good.
He looks the part. Today was a big day. I'm glad that you got to enjoy. Just watching him and being like, fuck yeah, this is cool.
He's everything that I thought he would be. And yeah, so now the Bears get to come back, get more sleep, get caught up in sleep again. High one a little bit more. I'd like to apologize to the country of England that we send the Jaguars over to them all the time.
Those fuckers, we have to watch Piers Morgan on our TV all the time. You have to watch the Jaguars. I'm going to call that a watch. That's a fact.
I'm going to say that's even. So now the Jaguars are staying over there. They're playing a doubleheader next weekend against the Patriots, right? So yeah, I have a sad, this is really a sad Jaguars stat from a good friend Uncle Chaps, but it's related to Jaguars.
Okay. So this is actually first pointed out by Mark Long. It was a rough weekend for teams once coached by Urban Meyer. Jaguars, 35-16, lost to the Bears in London.
Ohio State loses 32-31 at Oregon. Florida falls 23-17 in overtime at Tennessee. Utah loses 27-19 at Arizona State. And Bowling Green falls 17-7 to Northern Illinois.
Damn. The stink is still on the programs from Urban Meyer. Damn. All over his fingers.
That's bad. He lost them all. Yeah, the Jaguars are, Andre Sisco said afterwards, there was a lot of quit, which is that. I believe in them.
I believe in the coaching staff. I believe in the players. That means he does not believe in them. But he's stuck in England for a week with them, and you probably can't fire Doug Peterson in England, which would be hilarious if they did.
Which, yeah, the Jaguars, they're bad. They were dropping balls. Like, their defense, their secondary's bad. Just a really sad team.
And it brought me to a thought. Are we going to look back, and Max, this is no offense to you, because flags fly forever, banners fly forever, you don't apologize for it, but are we going to look back and say Doug Peterson and Nick Foles was the craziest Super Bowl winning combo of all time? I mean, it already kind of is. It already is.
Consider who they beat in that Super Bowl. Bill Belichick and Conrad. Right. Like, it is the craziest thing.
Like, Doug Peterson is going to get fired probably mid-season here. See a Malcolm Butler merchant? It's just nuts. Like, we're going to look back and be like, wait, that happened?
Oh, yeah, that did. But, yeah, it's sad for Doug Peterson right now. I don't know what else to say. He's all over.
He knows exactly what the issue is. He says, we've got to change the culture. Otherwise, he just gets out of control. We're on a slippery slope.
We're right on the cusp of that slope. I'm sure we've got, at some point, we've got to say enough is enough, and you've got to have enough pride and figure out a way. Severe, and you've just locked him up to a long-term deal, and now you have all these questions, and, man, it's sad to be a Jaguars fan. I feel like that changing your flight home at this point, getting an earlier flight home if you're fired, that's a pretty hefty bill, right?
Yeah. If you have, like, I'm assuming his business class, first class coming back, to change that up from, like, two weeks from now to, like, a week from now. I guess it'll be a week from now to, like, tomorrow if you want to fire him. That's probably looking at, like, a $30,000 ticket on the match.
Listen, it would be the most Jaguars thing and the funniest thing ever if they did fire him while they're still in England. Yeah. Like, that would be the most Jaguars thing. Like, maybe even wait until, like, Thursday or Friday.
Yeah. Really add to the chaos. Yeah, or they just, they say, Doug, why don't you come on home? Come home, you're not going to coach the second game in England.
Yeah. Like, we want to put on a good showing for our British fans over there. Come back, take the week to regroup, and then you're going to be the coach when we get back in the U.S. Shotcon should be like, Doug, I want to meet with you in our facility in Jacksonville.
And then Doug flies home, and then Shotcon's just on Zoom. Yeah. And he's like, you're fired. Yeah.
Which, that would actually be okay, because you wouldn't want to fly all the way home and then have to have a meeting and fly all the way back. They should, if they lose next week, they should just give them a boat. Like, make them go out to Wales and catch a boat there. Be like, here's your boat.
If you can figure out how to get this back to Jacksonville. There's no staff, no crew on it. Just you and your other coaches. If you can land in Jacksonville within, like, five weeks, then get your job.
Yeah, you can keep your job. Hank, do you have anything you want to say to me? About what? No.
Oh. Okay, well, I have a clip from last year that our darling Jake had a reminder in his calendar that he texted me over the weekend. Jake got to score a gummy today. Jake got to score a gummy.
Congratulations. This is when you were peek laughing at me last year at the end of the Bears season. Go ahead and play it. I'll say it.
It's my Super Bowl. I don't care. And guess what? If the Bears win, Packers fans will be crying, crying, crying.
And it'll be great. And I'll fucking love every second of it. You don't even know that we're playing to bounce the Packers. Yeah, I do.
Why didn't we do last year? Oh, that's interesting. I know. All right.
You know what? Jake, put a reminder on this exact conversation. Yep. Week six next year when the Bears are four and two or five and one.
This is going to age next year. Oh, I can't wait for this. I can't wait for this. The Bears are going to be good next year.
They are That's on the Big Cat soundboard The Bears are going to be good In 2024 I'm saying it right now This team is playing Fucking good football Justin Fields looks good For each other The defense is legit We have all the draft capital We have all the fucking cap space I don't care that this might be A terrible soundbite for me next year But I'm saying it right now And I believe Would you like to apologize to me You laughed at me a lot I don't think I laughed at me Yeah you did I'm not saying you laughed That I would like to apologize to me No you laughed a lot at me At this point And I just called my shot I said week six We're gonna be four and two Or five and one I wish we were five and one But four and two I think the funniest part of that video clip Was the giant like family sized Thing of Tums that we have Just on the desk Late in the season Late in the season You don't want to say anything? You don't want to say anything? I didn't say anything in that clip No but you know what happened Before that clip You mocked me and said This team stinks And they'll always stink Yeah you did And I said they're building something At the end of last year And they're gonna keep going forward I'm happy for you Big Cat I'm happy for the city of Chicago Listen I'm only taking a victory lap For you specifically Because the Bears have a lot of season left A lot of tough games left It's a very unfinished product I do not think they're Some incredible team right now I do not think Caleb Williams Is some elite quarterback They're working towards it But you specifically Just you I want you to say sorry I will not say sorry That's fine I respect Hank Not apologizing You know what happened In the previous part of that clip I'm on the record saying No one wants the Bears To win more than me Jake sent me the calendar Reminder and it literally said Remind Hank when the Bears Are four and two or five and one After week six So that was bad You called your shot Yeah yeah okay Well congrats Thank you The Bears haven't played They've played bad teams I get that They've also killed bad teams All your wins are against Oh here we go I like this Go You have the stat Go ahead No you tell me I can't remember Listen the goalposts Keep moving every single week That's true I was asking you I believe all the teams The Bears have beat Are one and five No I don't know I think one of them Is one and four Because they have a bye week So wrong Wrong stat That was wrong That's a very funny stat Listen you can't apologize When other teams Light up bad defenses Everyone says they're incredible And when the Bears do It's the goalposts move I'm not saying the Bears Are an incredible team They're beating the teams They should beat And they're actually Beating the fuck out of them Beat the Rams How many wins did the Rams have? One The Rams have only one win The Panthers and the Jaguars Yeah that's true Listen when Jay Daniels Plays low against bad defenses I'm saying you play who you play Right When Drake May plays The Jaguars next week And he looks awesome You should be happy I will be Yeah exactly What am I supposed to do They're killing them They've killed the Jaguars They killed the Panthers Colcomat beast Colcomat is a beast He's a beast But yeah They got a fucking Really tough schedule These were the games They had to win Every game this week Or last week And this week I said were must wins Because if you don't Must win them And you lose them Then you're going to be Stuck in a situation Later on in the season Yeah and so next up Commanders Tattoo bet Yeah I'll do a tattoo bet Tattoo bet Let's do it I'll get a tattoo I don't know what I'm going to get Warthog No you're playing I'm not going to get a Warthog I'm not going to get a Warthog I don't know what I'd get I'd probably get something I don't know Maybe just like an insult Tattoo of Hank or something Maybe Hank without a beard On the palm of my hand I'll just do every podcast Just like this How sick would that be Hank would look like Yeah like powder Voldemort Yeah I just had it right here And I was like Hey Hank Question you want to apologize You're just looking at yourself You don't see too many palm tattoos Okay well I feel like I'm being reasonable But I feel like I should at least be I can be happy You should be trying to steal my joy You should be thrilled The goalposts do keep moving But that's fine That's just not from you guys I'm not saying Yeah I honestly didn't know The sad about them beating One win team You know we played that team But we killed them It's just interesting That it's all the win-win teams The defense also has 13 takeaways this year They're taking the ball away Which is important You've got to respect the ball You know what the Jaguars Have played a lot of games this year And you guys are the ones That made them quit Yeah Matt Eberflus The fumble that we had To start the second half I believe it was right after I can't remember who was doing sidelines I said talk to Matt Eberflus He said at halftime We have to honor the football I like that I like it I still don't love Matt Eberflus But guess what His defense plays hard And Shane Waldron has done better Cherish it Love the football Honor the football Yeah Okay next up Ravens 30 Commanders 23 Do you want to start I mean Ravens are really good I'll just say the Ravens are really good Their defense played a lot better today Than it has in past Dean Pease Yeah Dean Pease is back Dean Pease makes a difference Dean Pease makes a big difference And yeah the Commanders defense is just bad We're just we're very bad on D And there was really no way That we could have won that game Considering how our defense played Hank was Hank just kept on saying This defense is the worst I've ever seen Yeah they're bad They're very bad St.
Jude's had a really tough game today They just forgot to use middle linebacker Yeah the middle field was wide It was Zay Flowers was doing the thing Where he somehow catches a dig With like I don't know 10-15 yards of open turf around him And he does that little spin move Right after he catches it Gets another 7 yards That was all that And they could have run They could have beat us Any way they wanted today They could have gone to Zay Flowers They could have gone to Bateman He's their receiver They could have had Derrick Henry We have a Super Bowl window We have a fuckload of cap space We have a great quarterback An awesome quarterback Maybe the best quarterback I've ever seen play for my team We've got some weapons for him We need a couple additions Here and there on offense And I think we need to spend All of our draft picks on defense And we need to get better Free agency, trade deadline Draft, whatever it is Just focus on defense Because I think the Super Bowl window is here This year? I don't think the NFC Is as good as the AFC is I think that we should be able to get Well the AFC North Is really really good Actually the AFC North If you want to talk some crazy stats Yeah I have them as well We can get to those Let's do what we talk about The Packers Because the Packers lead into the crazy stats That sounds good So there's no torch passing today No torch passing But if you're looking at a measuring stick game Which by the way I love the fact that They said that to Dan Quinn He was like No we're not doing measuring sticks We're not doing measuring sticks Because that implies that They're not as good as the other team It actually was a measuring stick game It was You guys measured okay You were okay The Ravens offense is the best offense in football Maybe the Lions The Ravens are the best offense in the AFC for sure Lions are looking like They're absolutely insane right now While the Bengals just scored a touchdown And possibly a cover That was big Chase Brown But the Ravens are just They are the first team since 1971 Raiders John Madden's Raiders Imagine if they had Devontae Adams Which is There's still a team that's in the talks to it Could be the Raiders Like Schefter said You might just say Because you like saying O'Connell Which is weird But yeah They're an absolute monster of an offense And I feel like That's a game like You guys were Your defense just needs to get better But also the Ravens are going to do that to every defense They did that to the Bills defense They did that to the Bengals defense They're going to do it to every defense We never had a chance We got that interception off Mark Andrews drop on the first drive And there was that fucked up snap That we didn't recover on defense And if you're going to win that game You have to get very very lucky multiple times And so yeah Ravens are just a very very good team Ravens are awesome I'm looking forward to the inevitable Chiefs-Ravens playoff matchup Yes I'm looking very much forward to that Maybe the Ravens will realize they should run the ball Although the Chiefs have a really good defense But I think having just a giant on your sideline in Derrick Henry It's kind of hard to forget about Derrick Henry When he's that much bigger than everyone You know like if you have a small guy If you've got a little guy that's like 5'10, 5'11 You can get lost and be like Yeah you know Let's just keep passing Derrick Henry's physically so big That I don't think that Harbaugh would ever forget to run him Yeah Derrick Henry's on pace right now For 1,979 yards and 22 touchdowns Which would be his best season He did go over 2,000 one year But he had 17 touchdowns So he is 30 years old And it's just I mean we've seen it in the last couple weeks Where even at the beginning of the game Maybe he's not getting these big runs And then just lean on him, lean on him, lean on him Lamar's feet, Lamar's throwing All of a sudden it's like Fuck now we've got to worry about Derrick Henry in the fourth quarter And he's salted that game away Basically just running it through you guys They could have beat us in any number of different ways But yeah Derrick Henry at the end Nothing you can do about it We have those personnel out there on defense But yeah Ravens very good team Commanders Super Bowl window open Act accordingly All decisions should be made from this point forward That we're going to win the Super Bowl in the next five years Or at least try to Which is, it feels good to say that And mean it I believe that this is our shot So you just said Super Bowl window now open What was the crazy shit you were going to say If you won the game? Oh my god I was going to say MVP, Jaden I was going to say Super Bowl this year I was going to say I'm never going to lose another game again I was going to say I'm 60 tall I was going to get fucking wild with it But yeah Mostly I was going to say Super Bowl this year But I'm not saying that I'm not saying that I'm thinking off And you did say at the beginning Which I agree with The Ravens It felt like their defense After what happened with the Bengals Maybe it was just the D&P's effect It's not that Like Jaden Daniels didn't have a bad game It just wasn't ever easy for him You know what I mean? Like they made They let up touchdowns But they made you work for him And that's kind of all they need to do With their offense Is just have a defense that is A little bit better than what it has been A couple of these games this year To be Super Bowl champs Yeah for the Ravens on offense Everything looked exceptionally easy today For the Commanders on offense Everything looked pretty hard But we still managed to score A decent amount of points against that defense But yeah the Ravens defense much better I have a question for you And now I like Dan Quinn Recurring guest Friend of the program Backwards hat Love it It always does look a little funny When he does the backwards hat Half time interview Because he's like Well this guy's a little too chill For some reason when you see it from afar On the sideline It makes sense But then when he's talking It's like hey man I don't want to sound like a coward But maybe put your hat forward Just for this interview So sometimes during the games He gets nervous And he starts turning it around I like that So yeah I think it's just However you manage to catch him I think he needs to put the hat on forwards When he's talking to the refs Because when he's talking to the refs They're like is this a drunk fan That got down on the sideline That's just screaming at me Or is this a head coach Yeah Dan Quinn I think he's doing a great job so far I think in a couple games The defense has looked okay And that's kind of the best That we can hope for this year Our floor is like The worst defense in the NFL And our ceiling is like 15th So if we can settle around like 20 to 22 Then I think we'll make the playoffs Yeah and you get to play the Panthers next week Which is great It was a lot of fun I don't know how I can get rid of this jinx Because when I looked ahead At the schedule I was looking at when the Bears game was I was like oh yeah That's right we'll get the Panthers next I think I said out loud We have a bye next week Because we play the Panthers You did I regretted saying that The instant that I said it Is there any way that I can retract No I was doing Sapphire Don't be worried I'm not worried I'm not worried it's Panthers You also I mean the schedule is I think it's your playoff team Because you have to play a lot of NFC's opponents But the NFC's doesn't look that great Yeah Whereas like the Bears play all the NFC North And the NFC North is just kicking shit out of everyone We should say this is Lamar Now he's what 22 and 1 against the NFC Yeah 23 and 1 23 and 1 against the NFC Which is a stat that makes no sense But it's awesome Someone wanted me to point out I just saw this scrolling on Twitter on Friday They wanted me to point out That whenever we bring that up We have to point out That the one loss is to Daniel Jones and the Giants That's fascinating But that's fair Yeah To be like hey Can you believe the one loss was to Daniel Jones and the Giants Well he's faster than Lamar Remember that That's true We ran like 26 miles an hour That's true Okay next game Eagles 20 Brown 16 Max I want to talk about the Eagles and Nick Sirianni in a second But we have to talk about Deshaun Because I have a thought Maybe we're thinking about the Deshaun Watson thing the wrong way Because everyone obviously says he should be benched He should be benched He's bad He actually played like a little bit better today But he was still really bad I saw a tweet that Austin Gale wrote That Jamarcus Russell lost minus 63.8 total EPA on dropbacks In weeks one through six in 2009 Deshaun Watson has broken that record From the quarterbacks they've charted since 2000 He's 734th through the first six weeks of the season He's got a minus 66.2 total EPA on dropbacks That's how much he's lost I don't even know what EPA is But when I saw this He listed them all It's Deshaun Watson 734 David Carr, Mark Bolger, Josh Rosen, Achilles Smith Jay Fielder, Blaine Gabbert, Marcus Russell That's the list he's on And he's at the bottom of that list And you know what's crazy Is that he's played against bad defenses Yeah He hasn't played against good defenses yet He hasn't played against good defenses And so I've been thinking about it Maybe so everyone thinks he should be benched Which he should be benched But what if We're just thinking about it wrong What if this is just the Browns Actually doing justice In a public shaming way They're like he's so bad And we know he's so bad He can't play quarterback We're just going to make him Continue to play quarterback And publicly shame him Because that's the only justice he'll ever have Smoke a whole pack of cigarettes Yeah Go out back and smoke a whole carton of Browns for me Like he's never going to Like he's paying people off in his lawsuits All that's going on What's the only way that the league can punish him Make him continue to play quarterback Yeah that's one way to look at it I was just trying to find a new angle for I mean he's just so bad Well I think it makes you feel good That a guy with all that Sketchy shit in his background Is having to like go out there every day And do the thing that he is the worst at Yeah And do it publicly Yeah And have everybody know how much money that he makes He's not having fun At the end of the day you can at least be like If you're a Browns fan You can probably say confidently Deshaun Watson is having less fun playing Than I am watching Yes I think that's probably true That's what I'm saying He basically has to go to a job That he's so bad at And he has to keep going to it And everyone's going to watch him It's torture which I'm for I'm for the torture Yeah I'm pro-torture Yeah I'm pro-ture in this case So I'm for Browns fans Yeah Browns fans That's unfortunate that you have to be a part of this Well you have to do like You have to put on the rose-colored shades Guardians Yeah you have to be Guardians And also if you're a Browns fan It's not like your coaching staff is playing Because they think he's the best option No You kind of have to deal with this Yeah There's nothing else you can do about it Just let us keep going with the torture For a little bit longer Yeah so Deshaun after the game said Me being the quarterback of this offense With Kevin and Ken Dorsey We have to do something A little bit I don't know what we have to do But we need to do something to lock in So we don't cost ourselves any more games Because we've got to really turn this around So they know that they have to do something And then we were watching the game And we were in the gambling cave And people got all kinds of different action I had the overs I was hoping for a tie 2020 game Knowing that I would then get it Because it was over 42 And I kept on saying People were freaking out Because they wanted the Browns to score I was like the Browns are not going to score from goal line They got to the three yard line And when they take two penalties Went backwards Ran some plays that had no chance of getting in the end zone That's the Browns It was the most obvious I wish I could have bet my life in that moment The Browns would not score a touchdown Because they were incapable of running Like a real offense When a real offense needs to be run Because what happens is Deshaun gets the ball in his hands And then he runs around for like five seconds And he looks like he's lost Yeah He looks like he gets lost on the football field And then there's three guys that sack him at the same time Yeah He's the most sacked in terms of like bodies The number of bodies that have hit him I would put that up there right with the David Carr rookie year Yeah Because when he takes a sack He gets hit by like the entire defensive line And it's crazy Maybe Kevin Sopaski is just a really good ally Maybe he's seeing all these losses That's what I'm saying And he's like you know what I'm going to have Deshaun get the shit kicked out of him That's what I'm saying Offensive line You guys pretend that you're injured We'll put your backups in I'll tell them not to block And so we'll intentionally just get Deshaun Watson Just have the shit kicked out of him That's what I'm saying It's torture They are publicly shaming him and hurting him Every single week that he has to remain the starter And again sorry Browns fans that does suck But it is If you look at it that way It makes sense why they're starting him He's a bad person Let's make him fucking play quarterback Because he can't play quarterback Is Deshaun Watson getting sacked A million times a game And looking like a complete bum On the field Doing more than the Me Too movement Ever did to protect women That's what I'm saying All the youngsters out there I've talked to several The youngsters are watching the games And they're like I'm never going to sexually harass a woman Because I might end up Playing quarterback to the Browns See?
Does it make sense? We flip your whole viewing Of the Deshaun Watson Because it makes no sense That he's still playing Obviously Haslam is saying That he has to play him But it's every week That everyone just goes online Or on like Football night in America Florio and the gang They just have like a They're like Alright A block Cowboys B block Deshaun has to be benched That's all they do That's the whole show You think Tony Dungy Even looks at Deshaun And is like I can fix him I can fix that guy They don't realize That they need to just stop Like don't even bring up That he should be benched Just use the whole B block And just talk about How awful he is At playing quarterback And continue the torture It's scared straight Kids Kids This could be you If you don't start respecting women It's brutal And I do feel bad for Browns fans But Guardians It was funny seeing The back to back days Fanta going crazy for the Guardians And then in his unfinished basement Talking about the Browns There's another part of this game That we should talk about Philadelphia Eagles are back Win this game Like it was a close game But they were better than the Browns We knew that Max Jalen Hurts started slow AJ Brown Which we told you on Friday He was going to eat He's back He looked great 116 yards Also that crazy play at the end Where they just solved the game away By throwing like a 40 yard bomb Was sick So it was Good game Eagles back off a bye Nick Sirianni after the game Or while the game was still going on Looked into the crowd And started basically getting in An argument with the Eagles crowd In the weirdest Like way possible When you win by four points Against Deshaun Watson Who's again He's playing quarterback as torture It was so bizarre And then Nick Sirianni goes to his Post game press conference And basically was like Hear all my kids Don't ask me any tough questions What the fuck is going on Max Has he lost his mind He is He also shaved his head Which is a classic sign Of losing his mind Yeah so it is actually If you look it up A lot of times When people are going through Like nervous breakdowns Or they're trying to reclaim Control in their lives They shave their heads Because it gives them a fresh start Correct Sirianni showing up today I think everybody thought The same thing Like this is We saw what happened With Britney Spears Is Sirianni in a conservatorship What's going on I have no idea He's acting bizarre right now The city of Philadelphia Doesn't like him Obviously doesn't help When you're jawing at the team For booing And apparently some people Said there were fires And Sirianni chants Going on in the crowd Some people were saying that Some people were saying I was at the game There were no fires Sirianni chants So I don't really know What to believe there And then after the game He was asked about it And he said I was just excited To get the win I appreciate the link's support So like I don't even know What that means When they were asked about him Yelling at the fans So he definitely yelled at It was definitely Philly fans Saying fire Sirianni after a win And he was like We just won I'm mad I'm gonna go yell at him And he did this with Kids in his laps Talking to his kids During the press conference Which listen I'm not kid shaming him But it was It felt very deliberate For him to bring his children To a press conference When he knew that people Were gonna be like Hey what was that dude Why are you yelling at our fans Yeah and then when asked About the boos he goes We thrive when the crowd Cheers for us That's all I say We hear them when they boo We don't necessarily like it I don't think it's productive For anybody blah blah blah But when they cheer we like it Like what does that He's losing his mind He's losing his mind He can't be here He can't be here If that's the way You're gonna react To like the fans Acting like the fans Have acted in Philadelphia For a hundred years Like that's not gonna do anything Do you know who would never React to the fans In that situation And bring his kids To the press conference after Mike Rabel I was gonna say Bill Belichick Yeah That's a good point Either or right His kids are coaching at Washington Yeah I don't know I think his time is I feel like Honestly I feel like At the end of the year Be a mutual parting of ways Yeah Do you think there's a chance It happens Because so about this game Like you You were down on the Eagles Yeah I was down on the Eagles They didn't look great But realistically it should have Been a 23 to 9 game Right They should have dominated that game They had the flute Block field goal Which was a 10 point swing I don't know Jalen Hurts didn't look bad He looked bad to start But then he figured it out Yeah he started over 5 But then since then He was very good No turnovers Which is a rarity In a Jalen Hurts game Yep I don't know This was like a spot Where you would like to see them Beat the shit out of a team And they just can't do that They just can't do that Yeah Max I know you're really Down on the surrounding right now But you don't want him fired right now Do you? You wouldn't mind it? I'm indifferent to it Like I understand not firing him It's like the middle of the season And we're still fighting For a playoff spot Hey you have an inquisitive face on?
No I'm just trying to hear him out Yeah And what do you think? I feel like this is Max Sunday night Max And then the second that a game starts Yeah And one bad play happens Which is that Which is for sure To me it's like not You know drunk to words Be sober thoughts But the passionate thoughts That you have during a game Like that's what you think Yeah you want him gone You want him gone right now You want him gone You want him gone You want there to be A press conference tomorrow And have it be Jeffrey Lurie's like When you disrespect our fans You disrespect the organization You can't be here Disrespect the same I wouldn't hate that Yeah right I wouldn't hate that Like you want Jeffrey Lurie to be like I have the fans back No matter what They pay your salaries Don't ever forget it Nick Sirianni There's a door He's been so dumb this year He's just He's actually I think Having like a mental breakdown That was so bizarre Yeah everything It felt like the Eagles Were on a road game The way he was yelling at the fans Yeah And he's always kind of been like that He's always been super emotional too Yeah Even going back to his first year I mean the Super Bowl When he cried Yeah he cried I mean that's the behavior Of somebody who's on edge Can't control it Yeah You know who can't control emotions Big Dom Yeah Big Dom Slap him in the face Like act like a man He was standing right next him In the beginning of that clip too And then Sirianni went rogue Even Big Dom couldn't anticipate Going off the fans I wouldn't have been shocked If Big Dom just Takes Sirianni He's like those are my people What are you doing Pictures of assholes Yeah you didn't show your ass crack During this game Yeah I'm sure somebody Will go through every No you came in dressed As baggy as possible Correct You were Can you stand up And show your fit to the people Who are watching why not No The best way I described it Was Max came in looking like Like it was He was like a Sopranos character Who his wife hired him A personal trainer And he skipped out on it But he still had to dress And then he went to the Bing to hang with the boys He's wearing like baggy shorts And a baggy shirt He's like yeah my fucking wife Got me this personal trainer I ain't going there That's some fruit stuff You're covered up Max if you look at your schedule though You got the Giants The Bengals The Jaguars The Cowboys Coming up next Oh those are winnable You could win all those games And then you win all those games And then Sirianni's dug in like a tick He's not leaving The Giants three and a half point Favorites on the road Damn Is there a time that NFL coaches Ever been fired after they won a game Like in the middle of the season Obviously some coaches win The last game of the season They're fired on Monday But like in season You win a game You're fired It would work here Yeah it would work here It would be a spot Yeah yeah It would work This is the perfect spot for it No Peterson next week if they win Maybe Gruden Did Gruden win his last game Oh that's a good question I don't know Because his was all off the field He's right He insulted Commissioner Goodell Let's see Called him anti-football pussy So you're just What are you out of a ten right now For the Eagles It's five Five Oh man that's It breaks my heart To hear you say five Five Five I mean that's where I'm at Mike Trout was at the game Yeah he needs to be in Philly He needs to be in Philly Max would you If we're doing like multi-sport city trades Would you trade Joel Embiid To the Lakers No From Mike Trout to the Phillies No Talk about a guy who Can never stay healthy Is Mike Trout Oh Mike Trout and Sean McVay Hey Mike Trout's a friend Yes Mike Trout and Sean McVay I love Mike Trout I want him to be For Embiid and Playoff P We gotta find the status It doesn't count It doesn't count winning The last game of the season Yeah it doesn't It's in season firing Yeah Alright find it Find it memes Oh he resigned He wasn't fired Yeah we gotta find it We gotta find a coach Who's been fired Mid-season after a win I can't think of one I mean if any team can do it It would be so great And it would be great If it was just like Yeah we have the fans back Yeah can't do that Can't be yelling at the fans Disrespect of the city And they lost that game Before Gruden Joe To the Bears Oh yeah was that in London No maybe No we lost them in London I think Okay next game Bucs Saints This was a fucking crazy game Bucs 51 Saints 27 This game had the following scores Bucs up 17 to nothing Saints up 27 to 24 Bucs up 51 to 27 So it was The Saints scored 27 points In the second quarter And didn't score In any of the other quarters And the Bucs finished this game On the 27 unanswered points Yeah it sucked for the Saints That allowed he got hurt And so he was knocked out For the game Their offense kind of Didn't do jack shit after that Spencer Rattler looked good For like a quarter Yeah The second quarter Saints Will always have that I think what happened was So he looked good in the first half And then Todd Bowles was like What the fuck am I doing He's a rookie Let me just blitz him Yeah so Todd Bowles If you knew the game plan Going into it was that Todd Bowles was just going to do All the crazy shit That Spencer Rattler had never seen Yeah and he did that And he did tricks on him Yeah he did tricks on him And Baker had the most full Stat sheet ever He had 24 for 36 325 yards 4 touchdowns 3 interceptions And also throw in just an injury That we thought was like Very serious That he's such a tough dude That he was fine And like 3 downfield blocks too And 3 yelling in someone else's space Yeah Baker makes me want to play football It's the best He just goes out there And plays football What a day for Lincoln Riley by the way Watching all the protégés All the prize people get starts here A lot of people are going to have to apologize To Lincoln Riley Yeah was he wearing a house divided shirt Yeah it was Spencer Rattler probably doesn't like Lincoln too much though No I would say no But yeah Spencer Rattler fine enough But the Bucs offense was Chris Godwin deserves to be Given more credit for being awesome Because I know he was awesome When they won the Super Bowl He was awesome before that He got hurt a couple years Same as like Chris Godwin Compared to Mike Evans During the Chris Godwin era Yeah he's very very good But we just need to throw some more respect On Chris Godwin's name Because he's been very good this year He's had a very good career And I think he got kind of forgotten a little bit And yeah Chris Godwin needs more respect I have an insult to that for you For Dennis Allen So Dennis Allen head coach of the Saints Guess how many teams he's beaten As coach of the Saints That have a winning record I think he's at 40 games now Four Three Three He's got three And two of those were in September So they were like at the start of the year Oh 1-0 There was a Seahawks team that was 1-0 Now the other Cowboys who beat this year 1-0 And two of them are Gardner Minshew teams Oh wow Which is just an interesting That is very fun So he can be a winning team If Gardner Minshew is starting Like on a short week Where he's a backup quarterback coming in Dennis Allen just gets forgotten He's like hey that guy stinks He stinks He stinks By the way I just looked it up How old do you think Chris Godwin is? Chris Godwin 34 No He's 29 28 Wow Yeah it feels like Because he's just been around And you know when he's been good Ever since he got there But yeah he's having an awesome year He's 500 500 yards and five touchdowns Through six weeks Yeah pretty damn good Chris Godwin needs more respect Yeah Dennis Allen I guess what you can say about Dennis Allen Is people just forget about Dennis Allen That's probably his best asset So why is he so forgettable Is it because he looks like He took every NFL coach in history And like combined them all Into one composite sketch He looks like Dennis Allen He's the most average appearing guy It's his appearance I think it's his name His name is very formulaic AI yeah Dennis Allen He's like okay What is that Alright Dennis Allen And yeah he's just kind of He's been around forever But never done anything That would make me be like Oh Dennis Allen that guy's good He doesn't even really have anything That he's good at right I'm not talking about just as a head coach He doesn't have a specialty Like Todd Bowles you're like yeah Todd Bowles He'll blitz the fuck out of you He'll do weird shit He'll have dudes coming at you From angles that That Sean Watson can only dream of But with Dennis Allen It's like there's nothing Where I think Dennis Allen Blank mastermind He also yeah No there is nothing And he also Because the Raiders have had a history Of just cycling through coaches He's just in that list Of Raider coaches that happened And you're like oh yeah that's right And then he just ended up on the Saints Because he's with Sean Payton And got that job So I think that's also I think that's part of it Is that there are certain Raiders coaches That just keep Every two years they would fire one So you just kind of forgot about him Yeah that's probably true And he doesn't really get that fired up He just kind of It looks like his job is to sit on the sidelines And just accept losses Yeah And he's very good at it Yeah I don't really know What does Dennis Allen do He doesn't do anything really 4-12, 4-12, 0-4 Were his three years with the Raiders As the head coach And he's doing a lot better with the Saints Because he's 7-10, 9-8, 2-4 He's 26-50 as a head coach Let's see 26-51 That's crazy He's so bad He's so bad And this team feels like This was kind of a quick game Because the Bucs were just They just kept on scoring Kept on scoring Yeah it was one of those games Where it's like okay The Bucs hate the Saints They fight them all the time They're not going to stop scoring Through this game Remember two weeks in The Saints did win The first two weeks of the season They did They were the Super Bowl champs After two weeks So if Derek Carr But it was against the Cowboys The Cowboys was like the convincing one Yeah Yeah well he beat the Panthers and Cowboys But we were all like Oh the Cowboys are good Because they're always Yeah they were good last year We realized how bad the Browns were Yeah but this is definitely the win Where you're just like How are this The Saints Oh they're good No they're not Did Spencer Rattler show you enough To be like I want to see more Spencer Rattler Yeah I just like Spencer Rattler's name So I always want to see more Spencer Rattler Yeah I love his name Love his arm Yeah The arm works I like Spencer Rattler I want to see more Spencer Rattler Why not You're not good The Saints are probably not going to be good this year You might as well see what you got You might as well see what you got Okay let's take a break Let's do a couple ads And then we'll get some more games From Sunday PFT We're going to get back to football It's brought to you by Game Time It's football season You guys know that We can't wait to get out to some games this fall With the help of Game Time They're the official ticketing sponsor Of Barstool Sports Game Time is the absolute best I use Game Time whenever I have to get into a game If it's baseball If it's football If it's basketball Even if it's other stuff Even if it's things besides sports Game Time is the absolute best Game Time We've got some We've got Monday Night Football Monday Night Football What do we have going on for Monday Night Football So Jets Bills of Jets I'm looking right now On the Game Time app I hit the GT Picks And I'm seeing $247 for the best seats Like the perfect seats you want for football Where it's 50 yard line Row 4 on the second level That's the best That's the best You can get in for cheaper But these are the GT Picks Which give you the best deals Great seats In Game Time Picks It's the best deal for the best seats And just pull up your chosen event Turn on the GT Picks setting At the top of the screen Or you can browse The best local Game Time Picks deals Near you on your Game Time app homepage What are you waiting for?

Okay, Colts 20, Titan 17, Joe Flacco. Is he the starter? So today, I think he kind of was the starter. I think that Anthony Richardson was healthy, and they were just kind of like working to go with a hot hand with Flacco.
And yeah, Flacco, he didn't have his best game today, but I had a moment this morning, I don't know if you've had one of these, big cat, where you see Joe Flacco's going to start, and you just stop. You just stop in a moment in time, and you take a mental snapshot. Just remember, today's the day where Joe Flacco will be playing football, because it's not going to last forever. We're nearing the end of that road, and the NFL, just the world, is so much sunnier to me.
We know that Joe Flacco's still part of it. He said it after the game, too. He's like, being out here on Sunday never gets old, and I'm going to cherish it for as long as I can do it. It's the best.
I do feel like I was lied to by the Colts, because all week I picked the Titans on every show we did, and Joe Flacco, because I was thinking Anthony Richardson was going to play. I also didn't think Michael Pittman was going to play, because he had a broken back five days ago, and then he played, and he made the two biggest plays of the game. The jump ball, touchdown, and then the third down to ice the game. So I feel lied to by the Colts, but a good win for the Colts, and Joe Flacco, I think, might be the starter, because like you said, Anthony Richardson, I'm pretty sure is healthy.
Yeah, and Flacco, he makes a couple mistakes, but they're no worse than any Anthony Richardson mistake. Yeah. And then he's at his best, that jump ball that he threw up, that was vintage Flacco. Yeah.
Just being like, you know what, fuck it. I think I got a guy down there that's taller than their guy is. And Michael Pittman made a great catch. Yeah.
And I was like, damn it, I feel lied to him. Michael Pittman is good. So Flacco now has the longest streak of two touchdowns and starts in the NFL of anybody. Yes.
So no other quarterback has as many consecutive starts throwing two touchdown passes as Joe Flacco does. He has as many touchdown passes now as Deshaun does, Deshaun Watson does, and he's only started two games. Yeah. So things are going good for Joe.
Again, don't know how long he's going to be the starter. At some point, they're going to want to see Anthony Richardson play and just see what they have. But for now, just enjoy every Sunday that you wake up and just get a starter. I agree.
I 100% agree. It does feel like one of those situations where we just need to make a mental capture of just like Joe Flacco. He's having the best time, and his career was over like five years ago. Remember when he was on the Jets and the Broncos?
And the Eagles. Yeah. And he's back, and he's playing great, and the Colts should keep playing him. I agree.
I know that it probably doesn't make sense long-term, but it also doesn't probably make sense long-term Anthony Richardson. Yeah. I mean, I think if you're trying to win football games, that's what you're supposed to do. Then you should start Joe.
Yeah. It's that simple. Yeah. Okay.
Titans, I feel bad for Titans fans, because shit's getting crazy for Calvin Ridley. He said, I need some targets at the beginning of the fucking game, too. Shit's getting crazy for me. Yep.
He had eight targets today, zero catches. In the last three games, Calvin Ridley has two catches for 14 yards. Not great. It feels like if you're handicapping receivers that might end up with the Chiefs by the end of the season, Calvin Ridley's probably up there with his teammate, DeAndre Hopkins.
Yep. Yeah, I'd say so. Will Levis, friend of the program, love Will Levis. I think you've got to bench him for a little bit here, because the problem is the Titans are not a bad football team in its totality.
Every game, they've basically been in. Their defense is good. He just feels lost out there. He feels lost, and at some point, you keep losing these games by three points or four points, just a random interception or a mispass, and everyone in that locker room is like, fuck, we should have three wins already.
Yeah, he did the Spider-Man celebration today, too. That was awesome. It was a cool celebration. He also, this is a stat from our friend at Stathol, who does a great blog every Monday morning.
Everyone check it out with all the stat stats. Will Levis is the first QB to throw an interception in the first five games of the season since James Patrick Mahomes six days ago. Oh, there we go. Yeah, that's a fun stat.
That's a great stat. Use that stat. Go around to the bar and tell people that. Yeah.
Will Levis threw an interception in the first five games. Also, the last person to do it was Patrick Mahomes this year. Yeah, good for Will. Good for him.
He's in a good company. That's good. Hey, listen, we just put Will Levis and Patrick Mahomes in the same sentence. When I watch Will Levis play, he gives me big time like Jeremy Shockey vibes.
Yeah. Like he's that emotional after every single play. Yeah. Which might not be the best thing for a quarterback.
You want your quarterback to like not scream in people's faces, shoot webs at him. Also, Will, if you're listening, I would like for you to say hello or hey, I'm sorry to the guy whose knee got taken out on the sidelines. I think that guy had to just have better presence of mind. He just watched him roll.
Like he watched the play come at him. Yeah. He did give a thumbs up. I'm sure he reached out there.
Yeah. That guy was in an air cast. He was on the stretcher for what felt like a half hour. He was wearing receiver gloves, which I love.
And he gave a thumbs up, which I love. But yeah, I don't know. People on the sidelines. It feels like it's happened a few times this year.
He was staring at the play. Yeah. I don't know. He gave the up.
I think you lose track of how fast these guys are coming at you. Yeah. It's kind of like being at the dog park. You've got to always keep a little bend in your knees.
Keep your knees bent. You don't want a Labrador just running to the back of your knees if you have stiff legs. Wear pads. I want to see a guy in like full kit, shoulder pads, helmet, knee pads.
Was he holding the chains? I think he was. He was a chain guy. Maybe walk around with a tiny little wall right in front of your legs.
Yeah. You got killed by Malik Willis. That made sense. And then today, that was a winnable game.
So at some point, you don't want the rest of the team to be like, hey, what the fuck are we doing here? Yeah. And if the Titans keep losing, then I think that's actually going to make Joe Flacco keep starting. Yeah.
Because the Colts can make the playoffs. Yes. It's not out of the picture I think that they might be able to. Yes, absolutely.
It's not great. Obviously, Texans are the best team in that division. But yeah, Colts could be a wildcard team. Colts could absolutely be a wildcard team.
Let me look right now. I mean, they're what, three and three? Colts could be a wildcard team. Now, Joe Flacco, if Joe Flacco takes, yeah, they're in the wildcard right now.
They're seventh seed. Love that. If he took the Browns and the Colts to the playoffs in back-to-back years as the backup, that might be more impressive than the Super Bowl. I actually think Joe Flacco has the opportunity to become back-to-back comeback player of the year.
Yeah. That's a record that'll never be broken if it happens. That's crazy. Yeah.
Keep playing Joe Flacco. For us. For us. Okay.
Next up. Packers 34, Cardinals 13. Packers kick the shit out of the Cardinals. We said on Friday, Jordan Love's going to be under center more.
And he was. And you saw it. That Christian Watson touchdown. That was vintage Jordan Love under center play-action pass.
He had four touchdowns. He looks all the way back. He, for the first two games back from his injury, he had slow starts. He did not today.
So it feels like the Packers, that's totally taken care of. The Packers, though, we alluded to this. The NFC North is so good. The Packers are the first team ever through six weeks to be 4-2 and last in the division.
Yeah. Every team is 4-2 or better. Right now, they have the four highest point differentials in the entire NFL. Yeah.
All in that division. Yeah. So the Vikings are plus 63. The Lions, plus 60.
The Bears, plus 47. The Packers, plus 41. The second best division, when you, like, add up all those numbers together, the second best division is the AFC West with a plus 20. Yeah.
Total. And I just said, the Packers are in last with a plus 41. Yeah. On aggregate, the NFC North is 17-5 overall and a plus 211 point differential.
Yes, crazy. It's nuts. Iron sharpens iron. But yeah, the Packers, and here's the thing with the Packers, too.
Their defense is really good. And that was a smart move. Jeff Hathaway bringing him in. Last year, the Packers had 18 turnovers forced on defense.
That's the entire season. This year, they have 17 through the first six weeks of the season. It's pretty wild. They're taking the ball away.
Then three fumbles in the second half. That was a very classic Cardinal spot of the biggest win they've had in a long time against the 49ers that second half last week, having to fly all the way to Green Bay, and then just an absolute stinker of a performance. 13 penalties, three fumbles, just a stinker. So because they lost this, it doesn't matter what they do in their next game.
The Cardinals will have gone three years without winning back-to-back football games. Wow. Three calendar years. That's insane.
Pretty crazy. I admire the consistency, actually. Consistently inconsistent. You win a game, just don't watch the next week.
It doesn't matter. I bet against them. But yeah, I'm worried about the Packers. Well, I'm worried about everything.
The NFC North is just really good. Have they not? Have they been NFC North games? They have.
That's why the Packers are last. They lost to the Vikings. So the Packers are 4-2, but they're 0-1 in the NFC North. That's why technically they're last.
The Bears are also 4-2. The Lions are 4-1, and then the Vikings are 5-0. But yeah, no, it's crazy. The schedule.
The Bears don't play their first NFC North game until week 10. And they play all six of their NFC North games down the stretch. That's why you had to win these games, Hank. That's why they were must-wins.
That's why these are... And we've got a couple more must-wins going against Cardinals and Patriots after the Commanders game. Gotta must-win them. Gotta put the tag on them.
There's always somebody down there. Watching him and Kirk Cousins have the two opposite fadeaways. When Kirk Cousins does a fadeaway, he turtles as he throws it and starts running away from the guy that's going to sack him. When Jordan Love does it, he fades away off his back foot and throws it at a perfect angle that lands in his receiver's hand.
And he can catch it. Here's a good one looking ahead. You want to play Whose Line Is Anyway with Paul DraftKings, Hank? Again, your phone?
I got it. Is it dead? It's out there. What do you mean it's out there?
It's out there. No distractions. Oh, you're doing that as a thing? Oh, I like that.
A digital cleanse. Oh, this is a great game next week. Packers versus Texans. In Green Bay.
Whose Line Is Anyway? DraftKings. In Green Bay. Packers versus Texans.
I'm going to go Packers minus two. I'm going to say two and a half. Okay? My phone's loading.
It's been loading. Also, the hot... I have it. Yeah, go ahead.
Give it to us, Max. Wait. Do you want to do a guess? Okay.
They're in Green Bay. Yeah, Texans. Texans at Packers. I'm going to say Packers minus one.
It is the Packers minus three. Wow. Okay, the full three. Packers are good.
The hot new play the Packers did at the Bears did it, and I saw that the Rams had done it last week is to play action, pump fake, and then just throw it to the wide open tight end in the middle of the field. Pump fake left, pump fake right, tight end down the seam. Yeah, the Bears scored a touchdown with that to Cole Komet, and then the Packers fan was like, oh, we did that last year. I said, cool, dude, you want a fucking cookie?
Well, you can't fucking do the same play. They invented it. Probably was McVeck. They probably invented it.
It's probably a college play. Yeah. It's a hot play. Packers fans fucking suck.
It's still all my joy. Hank, I want to hear what your best plays are. Shark wheel? Hottest plays.
Flea Flicker. The Julian Edelman. The Tyler Warren play on the Penn State, Tyler Warren. He was basically the tight end or the tackle.
Yeah, he was the tackle. He was the left tackle. He was all the way on the end, and he snapped the ball and then went and ran down the field. How's that legal?
He was eligible. He wasn't stable. Does the center have to snap the ball? No.
Anyone on the line can snap the ball. You have to have a certain number of players that are on the line of scrimmage. It was crazy. Look at the play, Hank.
What the fuck? Yeah. It was awesome. It was also such a cool play that they didn't even, it got overshadowed how sick the catch was.
It's a great play. I think he was technically the center in this play. That's what they did. There are five guys on the line of scrimmage.
Yeah, he was the center. They listed it. It was all the positions he played, and they were like, yeah, he played center. It's crazy.
Yeah, he was in the middle. He just didn't have anyone on his left side. Yeah, exactly. So is that one of your favorite plays?
Yeah. Hank Station, Puerto Rico. Nice one. What about the fake punt punt?
That's never been done. My dad says this all the time about punters. I don't mean to say it. Every time I watch the ball, my dad always says, why don't they just kick it without catching it?
So if a punter... Oh, I like that. They just hit it out of the air. I like that.
Yeah. Yeah, so it's kind of like you're hitting a pitch. Yeah. And you just throw it high.
You hit it high, and you just kick it. I like that. I don't think it would work, but I like it. Yeah, I like it, too.
Is there any advantage to doing it? You get it off quicker? Yeah, get it off quicker. Unblockable.
We also had in the Oregon-Ohio State game... I like this. I like this a lot. Yeah, which doesn't work anymore in the NFL because they changed the rule, but I don't think they did it on purpose.
They kind of took credit for it on purpose afterwards, but the Oregon kicker just tried to kick a swib kick and kicked it so hard off of the Ohio State player that ended up being onside and got recovered. I think they might have done it on purpose. I don't know. If you watch how the kicker runs up to the ball, and then his reaction afterwards, I think it was executed perfectly.
It hit the guy right in his chest, right? Yeah. It's a hard thing to do on purpose, though. It is.
I think he just did a great job of taking credit for something awesome happening. Putting 12 guys on the field on purpose. That's on purpose. That's the old Buddy Ryan Polish goal line.
Yes. Okay. Next up, Texans-Patriots. Texans-41, Patriots-21.
Mayday. Hank, what do we think? It was a fun game. Did you have fun rooting for a rookie quarterback?
I did have fun. I did have a moment of fear when Drake May went down. He did get pressured a lot. He did get thrown into the fire, but he threw a couple really nice deep balls, a couple mistakes, but it was exciting.
Give him a grade. I process things by hearing grades. So Hank the Scout, watch this Drake May today. What's the letter grade?
I'm going to give Drake May a solid B-. I thought he was more like a B- because one, you're... Bad interception. Bad interception, but that's rookie quarterbacks.
He threw three touchdowns. Three touchdowns. The touchdown to Keyshawn Boutte was sick. Also, he just proved what my thought was that Jacoby Brissette, everyone's saying that Hank's in the world being like, can't put in Drake May, he's going to get hurt, he's going to get hurt.
Jacoby Brissette was so bad, that was why he was getting hit so often and looked like he was getting hurt every play. The offense looked way better. It did look better. There was a couple...
He was still not getting a lot of time to throw balls off and he needed to step up and move around a lot, but yeah, it looked better. But he can do that, so the line looked a little bit better than it has with Jacoby Brissette where he can't throw it. Yeah. Yeah.
