Blake Bortles Retires, Kirk Cousins Disarms the Guys, and MNF Chaos
Monday Night Football actually delivered a game worth watching for once, even if it ended with the Raiders doing exactly what the Raiders do. The guys break down the Chiefs' comeback from 17-0 down, specifically the unstoppable nature of Travis Kelce in the red zone when the game is on the line.
PFT CommenterTravis Kelce could score four touchdowns every game if the Chiefs really wanted him to
I feel like Travis Kelce, if the Chiefs really, really wanted to, he could score four touchdowns every single game.
While the Raiders proved they can hang with the heavyweights, they still can't quite figure out how to win. The game was marred by another abysmal roughing the passer call, this time on Chris Jones, which had Big Cat trolling Raiders plus-seven and a half while the rest of the world fumed. PFT is already anticipating the NFL’s inevitable overcorrection to the officiating crisis.
PFT CommenterMaking roughing the passer reviewable will make the problem ten times worse
What's gonna happen is it's gonna make the problem 10 times worse because you're gonna have 10 minute reviews of referees reviewing a subjective call and then no one's gonna agree whether or not it's roughing the passer or not on the review.
Beyond the flags, the environment at Arrowhead proved once again why it's the most daunting road trip in the league. Big Cat noted that the crowd noise genuinely seemed to rattle the officiating crew in the second half.
Big CatArrowhead Stadium is one of the last true home field advantages left in the NFL
[Arrowhead Stadium] is one of the last true home advantage places in the nfl. So shout out to Chiefs fans because they were so fucking loud.
Playoff Baseball and College Football Vibes
With the MLB playoffs in full swing, the focus shifts to the Mariners and the Phillies. Max is fully bought into the Phillies' momentum, while the entire pod seems to be leaning into the chaos of the Seattle "Rally Shoe" movement. Big Cat is calling for unity across the country when it comes to the M's.
Big CatEvery baseball fan in America should be rooting for the Mariners in the playoffs
I think we, we said this on Sunday, but everyone in America should be rooting for the Mariners.
On the college side, the looming Alabama vs. Tennessee matchup has everyone on edge. PFT is ready to put his money where his mouth is, while Big Cat is looking ahead to the Pac-12 showdown in Salt Lake City, expecting a physical mismatch.
Big CatUtah will demolish USC in their upcoming matchup
Utah's going to demolish USC. How you say that? That's just candy ass football versus man football.
The Boat Sails Into the Sunset
Our good friend Blake Bortles joins the show to officially confirm his retirement after years of being the show’s favorite "working construction and ripping cigs" avatar. Blake shares that he actually retired months ago but didn't bother telling anyone until he mentioned it casually on the pod last week. Big Cat took a moment to remind everyone of the 2017 AFC Championship game and the injustice that kept the Jags out of the big game.
Big CatThe Jaguars were robbed of a Super Bowl appearance in 2017 and should have played the Eagles
We've been talking a lot about how badly you guys got screwed over in that game in New England. You should have been in the Super Bowl to my dying breath. I will say the Jacksonville, Jaguar should have been in that Super Bowl against the Eagles.
Blake reminisced about Super Bowl parties past, almost burning down a kitchen with Jared Goff while trying to cook pizza rolls, and the time he gave Hank an all-access pass just because he’s a ride-or-die guy. When asked about his detractors, Blake pointed to one specific analyst who seemed to have a personal vendetta.
Blake BortlesChris Simms is one of the people in sports media who hated me most
If there was one person that, that I don't even know, you know, who hated me... I would imagine like if you asked him, he would be like, 'Yeah, that guy sucked' was Chris Simms. [Simms] hated me. I saw, showed he me a list one time he ranked me as like the 47th best quarterback in the nfl and I was starting in Jacksonville.
Hot Seat/Cool Throne and One Question
Hot Seat is a somber one as PFT finally confronts the viral photo of the back of his head. After years of thin hair and hats, he’s facing the music and looking into solutions to stay in the game.
PFT CommenterI am getting hair plugs to combat my balding
I'm gonna go one way or the other. I don't wanna stay where I'm at right now. I'm in no man's land... All right. I'm gonna get hair plugs.
Big Cat puts Ben Simmons on the Hot Seat for an airballed practice shot that went viral. It’s reached a point where Simmons’ inability to shoot has become a psychological hurdle he might never clear because of the immediate internet backlash.
Big CatBen Simmons should stop shooting because every miss becomes a viral mockery
I now am starting to understand why Ben Simmons just doesn't shoot because he, he can't shoot. And every time he does shoot it becomes a viral moment... why would I shoot when I know that it's not gonna go in and people are gonna roast [me]?
Kirk Cousins then joined for "One Question with a Quarterback" and absolutely owned the segment. He disarmed the guys with his midwestern charm and self-awareness, leaving PFT and Big Cat frustrated that they actually like the guy who keeps beating their teams.
We wrapped up with listener roasts and Uncle Chaps getting creamed after losing his Jaguars bet. It’s a tough time to be a Jags fan, especially with Trevor Lawrence’s current struggles.
Uncle ChapsTrevor Lawrence sucks at throwing the deep ball
I don't think [Trevor Lawrence] sucks, but he definitely sucks throwing the deep ball, which makes him suck. And they don't really have anybody to catch it either... some of the throws that he's made when people are wide open... he just can't make 'em.
Even with the mustache and the cream, Chaps still manages to be the smartest person in the room when it comes to international ballistics.
