Week 8 Review with Alex Bleuel

In this episode, Alex and I talk about Week 8 of the 2022 NFL Season. First, we talk about the Buffalo Bills beating the Green Bay Packers 27-17. Despite the win, we were not entirely impressed with the Bills against the depleted Packers. Despite just 203 passing yards from Aaron Rodgers, GB racked up more total yards. Aaron Jones totaled 157 yards. The Packers also won the turnover, and GB limited Josh Allen to just 218 passing yards. Buffalo also seemed more chippy than usual despite not having been to a Super Bowl in almost 30 years. I also ask why the Bills are leaning on Allen and not giving Devin Singletary more carries. Then, we talk about a wild NFC South encounter between the Carolina Panthers and Atlanta Falcons, which ended with fireworks and drama. With the Falcons up 34-28, D.J. Moore caught a Hail Mary to tie the game, but in removing his helmet, a 15-yard penalty pushed back the extra point to a 48-yard attempt. Unfortunately for Carolina, Eddy Pineiro missed the extra points and a 32-yard field goal to win the game in overtime. After a couple key Marcus Mariota plays, Younghoe Koo won it on n a 41-yard field goal late in overtime to put the Falcons on top in the NFC South. We move onto our favorite Week 8 running back performance. Alex loves Christian McCaffrey becoming the first player since Ladainian Tomlinson in 2005 to run, catch, and throw a touchdown in a 31-14 NFC West domination over the LA Rams. I pick Derrick Henry's fourth straight 200-yard game against the Houston Texans despite Tennessee's lack of a passing quarterback. With the NFC Trade Deadline in roughly 24 hours, we give out our favorite hypothetical trades. Alex wants the Rams to go after Kareem Hunt. I want the Bills to make a major splash on New Orleans Saints star Alvin Kamara. Finally, Dylan gives a memorable rant after Trevor Lawrence's worst game of 2022. With just 133 yards and two bad interceptions, Lawrence's lack of precision passing led to the Jags losing a 21-17 heartbreak to the Denver Broncos at Wembley Stadium. I explain why Lawrence is still making too many mistakes, Jacksonville's need for a No. 1 receiver, and a Wembley jinx for Chelsea FC and my Jags.
