Mike Florio on NFL Week 6, the Raiders' Ferrari, and Eli's Future
Week 6 was a bloodbath for the favorites, and unfortunately, that included Big Cat’s beloved Bears. In a twist of fate that only the NFL could produce, Brock Osweiler stepped in for the Dolphins and continued his reign of terror as the Bear-slayer. Big Cat is taking it well, which is to say he's already planning the funeral for his other favorite team’s season.
Big CatThe Wisconsin Badgers season is officially over
The Badger season's over. They're a fucking dumpster fire. I'm done... don't ever think about getting sucked back into this Wisconsin season. They're chicken shit cowards and don't deserve your time or money.
PFT isn't letting the Bears off the hook that easily. After watching Osweiler dismantle the Chicago secondary, he’s convinced the only way to stop the curse is to bring the enemy inside the building.
PFT CommenterThe Bears are destined to sign Brock Osweiler
The Bears are destined to sign Brock Osweiler... because he is the perfect... he's more Mike Glennon than Mike Glennon is. And the fact that he's impressed you guys so many times by beating you in your face.
While the Bears fell in Miami, Big Cat is at least grateful that the loss stopped the media from crowning them too early. He’s keeping expectations firmly in the basement for now.
Big CatThe 2018 Chicago Bears are not a Super Bowl team
I also, if the Bears had won that game and gone 4-1 and then played the Patriots next week and had been like, someone would have written the, could this be a Super Bowl preview, which is stupid because the Bears are not a Super Bowl team, whatever.
Gruden’s Ferrari and the Raiders’ Disaster
Across the pond, the Raiders got absolutely dismantled by the Seahawks. Jon Gruden looks like a man who realized he accidentally told his boss he was an expert in Excel during the interview and is now staring at a spreadsheet he doesn't understand. PFT thinks the 1998 nostalgia is wearing off quickly.
PFT CommenterJon Gruden is starting to realize he is in over his head as the Raiders head coach
Right now, Jon Gruden's entering the phase of this job where he is starting to realize, hey, I might be in a little bit over my head. This isn't actually the year 1998.
Mike Florio joined the show to break down the wreckage in Oakland. He compared Gruden’s offense to a Ferrari that Derek Carr keeps scratching, and the repair bill might be too high for the Raiders to keep the keys in Carr's hands.
Mike FlorioThe Raiders could move on from Derek Carr next year
I think the real question is, what do they do with Derek Carr next year? Because even though he's got that big contract, they can unload him at a manageable cap hit if they decide that John Gruden needs a different quarterback... In fact, it's easier than you'd think to get out from under Carr's contract.
The Eli Manning Retirement Home
The Giants are in a similarly dark place with Eli Manning. After another dismal performance, the guys discussed whether it's time to finally let the legend go. PFT compared the situation to a household pet that’s seen better days.
PFT CommenterThe Giants should 'put Eli Manning down' like an old house cat
Eli Manning, he's more like an old house cat that just coughs up hairballs and shits himself all the time. Put it down. Put it down.
Florio agreed that the Giants are stuck in a cycle of their own making after the Ben McAdoo benching disaster last year. If the season continues on this trajectory, the decision might be made for them by the draft board.
Mike FlorioThe Giants must move on from Eli Manning if they get the number one pick
After the year, look, if they finish with the worst record in football and they get the first overall pick in the draft, then you have to move on... At some point you just have to write it off and move on, right?
Quick Hits and the Done Chain
Elsewhere in the league, Nathan Peterman did Nathan Peterman things, entering a game for seven minutes and managing to throw two interceptions. PFT has officially found the successor to a certain Houston Texans legend.
PFT CommenterNathan Peterman is the Matt Schaub of our generation
Yeah, he's the Matt Schaub of our generation. It's great. I mean, every game is just so much more exciting when Nathan Peterman gets involved because you know what's going to happen. It's just a matter of time.
Big Cat is also officially over the Denver Broncos. After watching them get gashed by Todd Gurley and the Rams, the 'Done Chain' has been firmly placed around the neck of the Mile High franchise.
Big CatI am officially 'Done Chaining' the Denver Broncos
I might Dunchain the Broncos. That defense gets gashed... I feel confident dun-chaining the Broncos.
Finally, the show wrapped up with a look at the MLB playoffs, where David Price finally managed to not lose a game, though Big Cat remains unimpressed by the bar being set at "not completely shitting the bed."
Big CatDavid Price's good postseason game was actually mediocre by normal standards
Strive in life to be like David Price where you set the bar so impossibly low for yourself that pitching four and two-thirds and four earned runs is actually, people are saying, you were dominant.
If the Giants don't trade Eli Manning by Wednesday, we might have to start a GoFundMe for Saquon Barkley's sanity.
