Recap
PFT CommenterThe Falcons have become the new Seattle Seahawks
The Falcons have become the Seahawks. Everything that the Seahawks have been for the last 10 years, I feel like that's, it's just utter chaos. Anytime the Falcons take the field, their last four games have been all insane.
Big CatMike Evans is a lock for the Hall of Fame and could finish top five all-time in touchdowns
Mike Evans... is gonna go down like top five six in touchdowns and receiving yards. He's just so consistently awesome. Mike Evans deserves all the credit in that respect.
Big CatPete Alonso will definitely be back with the Mets next year after his heroics
[Pete Alonso] strikes out there and he's definitely not a Met next year. And now I feel like you can't, you have to give him all the money.
MaxThe Phillies will lose to the Mets in five games
I mean, it's, it's going to go five. The Phillies are gonna go up 2-1. I'm going be comfortable... then the Mets are gonna have a heroic comeback in game four and then game five, they're just gonna smoke us and it's gonna be, it'll be like 4-0 Mets in game five. That's how it's gonna go.
Mount Rushmore
Picks
MemesThe Vikings are the best team in the NFL
The Vikings are the best team in the NFL... Sam Darnold potential revenge game. Even though we already had it one time. But it's a bounce back. There won't be any rain.
Big CatJustin Jefferson is the best wide receiver in the league and it's not close
Justin Jefferson is the best wide receiver in the league and it's not close. I agree. I know that not close is a stupid thing to say. He has scored in every single game this year. He's so goddamn good that it's, to me it's not close right now.
Big CatDerrick Henry might be the last running back to reach 10,000 career yards
Derrick Henry is 17, 18 yards away from 10,000 yards. He could be the last running back we see get 10,000 yards... Jonathan Taylor... is halfway there... but it's nuts to look at and realize that Derrick Henry... might not see a lot of 10,000 yards guys, you know, ever again.
PFT CommenterDoug Pederson will be fired mid-season by the Jaguars
I do think that Doug is gonna be gone during the season. I think he might be a mid-season firing then.
Big CatThe Bears season is over if they go worse than 3-2 in their next five games
The Bears next five games... If they go four in one, it's playoffs. If they go three and two, it's maybe playoffs... Anything worse than three and two? It's on to next year.
Big CatThe Dolphins should start tanking for the #1 overall pick
The only team that I could say confidently that should tank as of right now is Miami Dolphins. Yeah. I think that's the only team I would say you should tank. 'cause you're gonna need a sit... because Tua, you can't, you can't say that he's gonna go through a whole season.
Interview
Joe FlaccoI want to play in the NFL until I'm 45
I wanna play as long as I possibly can... at 45 [my kids] would be in high school. I, I'd love to say I'd still be playing at that point. But, you know, the situation might have to be exactly right.
Joe FlaccoWearing all-black uniforms at night in Baltimore provides an extra confidence boost
There was something about it, man, when you showed up, when you had the black jersey in your locker and it was a big game. You're like, it gave you that little extra like, nudge of confidence... we're definitely winning.
