Let Pylons Be Pylons: Pro Football Talk Without Forcing the Drama
Episodes
-
#017 - Draft Time
The NFL Draft starts today and the Pylons Crew takes some time to un-mock ourselves by going through and looking at how the top 10 might fall and how that might affect the rest of the draft.
-
#016 - Who Has NFL Network?
The NFL Regular Season schedule was announced on Tuesday. We look at who logged the most Prime Time affairs, take a closer look at some of the match-ups that intrigue us, and wonder if MNF will actually be worth watching!
-
#015 - The Latest Fashion
In a slow off-season news week, nothing gets bigger headlines than NEW UNIFORMS! *squeal* We break down just what all the fuss is about, and if this is really news at all. Also, RG3 declines a private workout from the Colts. What does this tell us about how draft day is lining up? And the...
-
#100 - The Centennial
The Pylons crew reach 100 episodes of the show. It has been a long time coming and the guys have enjoyed every minute of it (recording wise, not always what happens on the field). With a big show comes a big announcement, and that announcement is the current end of the podcast portion of Let…

#099 - 3rd Annual Golden Pylons
It’s the most wonderful time of the year– Golden Pylons time. We give out our very own award for lots of the big AP award and some of our own making. So come, take a listen to the most important awards show that this podcast does.
-
#098 - And That’s A Season
The 2013 NFL Season is over, but we aren’t done talking about it. What were our favorite parts? What do we want to forget? Did the season live up to our expectations? What about the playoffs? So many things left to wrap up before the Golden Pylons are given out and the offseason begins. So let’s…
more -
#097 - Super Disappointment
The biggest game of the year turned out to be a fairly one-sided affair. While that didn’t lessen some people’s enjoyment of the game, others were pretty let down. The guys take you through what went right and what went wrong with each team’s game plan as they also take a look at how things…
more -
#096 - Super Bowl Super Quick
We record an in-depth, total breakdown of the upcoming big game and let you know where the flaws and strengths are with both teams… and then, due to technical difficulties, we lost all of that. So, we recorded a shorter, more concise, version that gets the general points across!
-
#095 - Changing or Improving?
The field for the Super Bowl is set and if you would have listened to Mark before the season started, you would already know what teams are there. Seattle and Denver punched their tickets in the game that we all really wanted to see. How did they do it and did we get the best matchup? We discuss.
-
#094 - The Best of the Rest
We head into Championship weekend with what many analysts are describing as the best four teams in football (we debate that a little) left playing for their respective conference Championships. How did they separate themselves in the Divisional Playoff round from their competition and who has the...
-
#093 - Jellybeans and Blowouts
Round one of the playoffs gave us one of the best-played weekends of football this season. Unfortunately it wasn’t a complete success as the Bengals fumbled (and intercepted) away their playoff opportunity. We take a look at what the losers will need to do in the off season to make sure “one and...
-
#092 - Puh-Puh-Puh-Puh-Playoffs
Week 17 delivered on its promise to come down to the wire where most of the playoff seeding wasn't decided until as late in the day as possible. Even so, there were not very many surprises-- minus a couple blown calls to send the Chargers to the playoffs in their game against the Chiefs back ups....
-
#091 - Mind Blowing Scenarios
The guys take a look back on the week the was, but mostly want to look ahead at the week that will be. In an effort to maximize the importance of some of the week 17 games, they are ordered from least impact to most impact. The team does their best to let you know why each game matters and who…
more -
#090 - You’re Saying There’s A Chance
Mark revels in the knowledge that the Packers playoff hopes are alive. Along with his Packers, there are a number of teams that control their own destiny from here on out. There are only twelve playoff spots and the next two weeks don’t leave any room for error. This is also technically true of…
more -
#089 - The Worstest Bestest
After what some think was the possibly the best weekend in football ever, we try to take a step back and decide what good football really is and if we truly saw that on Sunday. There was a lot of good, but there was also a lot of bad. Where is the line and which side of the line would we put them...
-
#088 - Okay-ness
Another weekend of football brings us a lot more inconsistency from most of the NFL. With only a few teams rising to the top this season, the rest of the league is mired in something we like to call "Okay-ness." While some fans are happy that their team isn't a bottom feeder, we argue why they...
-
#087 - The Parity Lottery
With Parity running rampant in the 2013 season it's really anyone's guess as to how the season will end. Just when you think you have things figured out, a team will give you their worst effort while some others give you the kind of effort you thought you would see all season. It's a mess trying…
more -
#086 - What About the Rest?
Controversy! Controversy! While here at the show, we do recognize the impact big calls can have on big games, we also realize that games are typically not won or lost on one call. This past week had a couple of controversial calls that did have big impacts, but focusing on those stories neglects...
-
#085 - Facing Facts
There is a debate between the hosts about what makes good football and what makes boring football– like it or not, this is what we have. There are so many teams around the eventual 8-8 mark that the playoffs are not even beginning to look settled and that is something that depresses Fizz and...
-
#084 - That Was Painful
The injuries continue in this season that is basically on life support for star players. How does Aaron Rodgers’ injury change the landscape of the NFC playoff picture? Who can already hang up their cleats?
-
#083 - Sizzle or Fizzle
The NFL season is already halfway through but there are still a lot of questions as to where some teams will finish. The bye weeks are in full effect and some teams are coming out hot and some are falling flat. We take a look and try to figure out which teams will really sizzle in the second half...
-
#082 - Protect Your ACL
Injuries everywhere! It was "Bloody Sunday" this weekend in the NFL with numerous high profile injuries striking teams. There may not be enough QBs left to go around. We take a look at the teams that have weathered the injury bug so far this year, along with the ones who will now have to and the...
-
#081 - Identity
Week 6 in the NFL brought us clarity on some teams and even more confusion for others. When it all comes down to it, now is the biggest time of the season when you will hear people making mountains from mole hill’s or ignoring evidence if it fits a narrative. It’s one of the toughest time to...
-
#080 - Defying the Odds
With 5 weeks of football behind us we are starting to see trends, both positive and negative. Some teams who were favorites for division titles are tanking and others who were thought to be rebuilding or taking a step back are already separating themselves from the pack. We will take a look at…
more -
#079 - Separation
Week 4 in the NFL brings us a little clarity and a little separation. There are still a handful of unbeatens and still a few winless teams as well. As usual, there is a lot in the middle and while most of the middle hasn’t distinguished itself one way or the other, we want to know which teams at...
-
#078 - Backwards Week
Week 3 in the NFL gave us more upsets than we could handle! Running down the list of games we saw around 2/3 of the "favored" teams come away with a loss -- some due to poor play, some due to extraordinary effort from the underdog, and even some by teams showing us things they haven't shown us to...
-
#077 - The Steelers Are Bad
It's too early to count some teams out, but that doesn't mean there are just some bad teams out there. We run down the 0-2 teams and let you know if your team should start panicking. The same thing is true, as always, with teams off to a fast start. Is every 2-0 team created equal? Well, we know...
-
#076 - Knocking the Rust Off
Week one of the NFL rarely gives us a glimpse at who is at the top and who is at the bottom. Typically it only creates more confusion as good teams play good teams and bad teams play bad teams — or some teams are still knocking some rust off from the off season. We try to determine where teams…
more -
#075 - Most Anticipated
The NFL season is finally here! or, well… it will be on Thursday! Either way we get to transition to a more season-centered format. But before we do, since everyone else in the world is making predictions for end-of-the-year awards and Super Bowl picks, we do too! Who will stand apart this season...
-
#074 - Fantasy or Preseason?
We talk about football! We also become spoiled and start wishing away week four of the preseason so we can move on to opening day. But, with week three still there to analyze, we take a look at the teams that still have the biggest questions to ask; how will the Bills, Raiders, Jets, and a few...
-
#073 - Scheming for Tomorrow
Week two of the preseason is now behind us and the sought-after week three looms ahead. But before we move on, teams have to deal with the injuries that have been hitting some teams pretty hard already. With two games to go in the preseason, and the regular season just around the corner, what are...
-
#072 - Something Like Real Football
The preseason is underway and the closest thing to "real football" we have seen in eight months is upon us. With the instant impact of rookies, the preseason gives us more and more to watch for every year. Even still, some things should be taken with a grain of salt, but that doesn't mean there...
-
#071 - NFC West 2013
The end is here! Well, for the 2013 Divisional Breakdown Series. With the breakdown of the NFC West, we see the passing of the 2013 offseason and the beginning of the 2013 preseason. But before we get there we have to give you a team-by-team rundown of what we consider to be the strongest…
more -
#070 - NFC North 2013
Much like a reality game show, the reveal of our no.2 division gives away the end of the rankings. That doesn’t stop us from plowing ahead and looking at the things that make the NFC North the runner-up in our Divisional Breakdown series. Are the Packers still king? The Vikings took a lot of…
more -
#069 - NFC South 2013
It’s the final countdown here on our Divisional Breakdown series. This week’s stop is the NFC South; the division that seems to never have the same winner two years in a row. Last year the Falcons ran away with the division through a series of head scratching wins and fourth quarter comebacks but...
-
#068 - AFC North 2013
Past the halfway point we find ourselves in the last AFC Division, the AFC North. By far the strongest AFC Division as things stand today, but still only better than one NFC Division. We take a look at how a Division that perennially sends multiple playoff teams (and includes last year’s Super…
more -
#067 - NFC East 2013
Our Divisional Breakdown Countdown finds it’s first stop in the NFC. Unfortunately, the division that was our strongest last year has fallen to the last slot in its own conference. What happened between last year and this that has shaken our faith in the East? Has any team in this division made…
more -
#066 - AFC South 2013
Week three of the divisional breakdowns brings us the AFC South. The Texans and Colts found playoff berths last year but then were outmatched in the playoffs. Did each team do enough to take another shot at the postseason or was last year as good as it gets? With a weak AFC anything is possible,...
-
#065 - AFC West 2013
The divisional breakdowns continue with the division we think slides in as “one above” the AFC East. With the Super Bowl favorite from the AFC driving the division, the West has a much higher ceiling and a supporting cast of teams who are talented and looking to cash in on some off season…
more -
#064 - AFC East 2013
The divisional breakdowns have finally arrived! After an extra week off due to traveling and family, we return to give you everything important you need to know about each division. From weakest to strongest, we will be lining up the divisions for assimilation. Up first, our weakest division, the...
-
#063 - The Look Ahead
With the offseason news slowing down (on account of their being no Peyton Manning free agency or blockbuster rookie QB news), we take this lull to look ahead at the things that make us want to wish-away summer and skip straight to football season. What things do we think warrant your time an...
-
#062 - NFL Draft Review 2013
The NFL Draft has come and gone and we begin to settle in for the long (ok, it’s only two months — but it seems like an eternity) dead season of the NFL year. Before we do, however, we take a look at how teams did in the draft. Did your favorite team get the help it needed in the Draft? Did they...
-
#061 - NFL Draft 2013
The Draft is now less than two weeks away and that means it is time to take a look at the big board. Team by team we try to see what the most glaring needs are at each position, and what strategies might be best for some of the teams that have a plethora of holes to fill.
-
#060 - Game Change
With NFL rules changing every year, are the fans in danger of losing the game they love? Will the latest rule change on crown-of-the-helmet hits take the game one step closer to flag football or is everyone getting worked up for nothing?
-
#059 - Furious Free Agency
The show lands at the end of the first week of Free Agency this off season and the players are already switching hands at a furious rate. We take a look at all the signature moves and try to determine who has put themselves in a great position going into the draft and into the 2013 season.
-
#058 - Combine Drinking Game
The NFL Combine is now behind us and we take a look at how the performances and rookies showing all are going to shape this off season. With a rookie class that is devoid of the star power that we had last year, what can we expect from this class?
-
#057 - 2nd Annual Golden Pylons
It’s that time of year again — the Golden Pylon Awards! The crew gives you their picks for the major AP (Associated Press) Awards and then have some fun with some of awards of their own. Did they get it right? Find out on the show.
-
#056 - Super Let Down
The Super Bowl has come and gone and with it brought a chasm in our football hearts. It’s now eight more months of football and we won’t stop hearing about the non-calls the helped decide the big game until then. We break down what we saw during the big game and the taste it left in our mouth as...
-
#055 - The SuperBaugh
The SuperBaugh is upon us! Unlike all those “other” pregame shows, we are not going to bore you with conspiracy theories about deer antler spray or thoughts about which player’s high school year book photo really made them destined for Super Bowl greatness. We’ll take a look at which team looks…
more -
#054 - Best of the Rest
We asked for games that weren’t just competitive on the scoreboard, but games where both the teams played to their potential; did we get that in the Championship games? We debate that and look at how the games turned out the way they did.
