Recap
PFT CommenterThe Bears are a Super Bowl contender
I watched part of the game, and I'm telling you, this team is a Super Bowl contender. I'm dead serious. That defense. You're not telling me that defense—I mean, I agree, but shut up. The defense is Super Bowl caliber.
PFT CommenterThe Bears will win the NFC North this year
This is your year to win that division. Aaron Rodgers is hurt. Kirk Cousins is a nerd. Matt Patricia lost the locker room. This is your year to win that division.
PFT CommenterThe championship window has officially closed for the Seattle Seahawks
This is a major, like, officially the window has shut on the Seattle Seahawks. I'm ready to declare window closed. They're going to now have to remake themselves as an offensive team. No more glory hole.
PFT CommenterChris Carson is a future All-Pro running back
They're playing with [10 ghosts], except for Chris Carson, who's future All-Pro running back.
Big CatMike Tomlin is losing the Steelers locker room
We always say Mike Tomlin, he's a player's coach, and he's liable to lose a locker room this year. He's literally losing his locker room. He's got nothing. He's got Bell's gone. Antonio Brown's not showing up for work.
PFT CommenterBlake Bortles destroyed the Pittsburgh Steelers
I was saying, okay, who killed these Pittsburgh Steelers? Was it the Browns? Nope. Was it Patrick Mahomes? Nope. Blake Bortles destroyed the Pittsburgh Steelers by beating them twice last year in their own backyard.
Big CatThe Buccaneers have a full-blown quarterback controversy
Deshaun Jackson proved our point that you have to keep riding Ryan Fitzpatrick. He said that you have to ride the hot hand. That is a full-blown quarterback controversy as far as I'm concerned.
Hot Seat Cool Throne
Big CatJason Witten might be a robot
So are we sure Jason Witten is still alive? He is a robot, and I do not understand why they overthink these things so much and just not put Booger McFarland in the studio. You could actually hear Booger McFarland getting mad at Jason Witten.
Interview
Nate BurlesonRoute running is the most important skill for a wide receiver
I would say that route running is supreme over every other characteristic of being a receiver. Forget the speed. Forget the height. Forget the vertical. If you're a route runner, you can be so deceptive with everything.
Nate BurlesonThe Arizona Cardinals are a sleeper team this season
One sleeper for the season is the Arizona Cardinals. Sam Bradford, of course, he has to stay healthy. David Johnson came on our show... a thousand and a thousand. So with him, Larry Legend, Fitzgerald, and then Chandler Jones and Patrick Peterson, I think they can do some damage.
Picks
PFT CommenterJosh Gordon won't succeed in New England if he couldn't in Cleveland
If you can't get your shit together enough to play for the Browns and for the Browns to release you—I think that if you can't get your shit together enough to be able to play on the Browns for six years, then you're probably not going to be able to play for Bill Belichick.
