Pete Prisco on NFL Playoffs, Eagles Collapse, and Hank’s Dallas Trip
Super Wild Card Weekend is officially in the books, and while there were some actual football games played on Monday, Big Cat and PFT aren't quite ready to stop dancing on the grave of the Dallas Cowboys. The fallout from the Packers' absolute dismantling of America's Team is still the biggest story in the league, even if Jerry Jones is staying uncharacteristically quiet. PFT, ever the voice of reason for rival fanbases, has a very specific recommendation for how the Cowboys should handle this disaster.
PFT CommenterThe Cowboys should extend both Dak Prescott and Mike McCarthy
I still think with the, you know, benefit of hindsight, another day to think about it. You gotta extend both Dak Prescott and Mike McCarthy. Yeah, I think listen, you won 13 games, right? ... sometimes stability is your best stability.
The Bills managed to handle the Steelers in a game that felt like it was over in ten minutes before the Bills remembered they love to keep things stressful. Buffalo is moving on, but they're doing it with a defensive roster that looks like a MASH unit. Big Cat is already looking ahead to the divisional round matchup with the Chiefs, and the outlook for the Bills' secondary isn't exactly sunny.
Big CatThe Bills defense will have a hard time stopping Patrick Mahomes with their current injuries
I am very nervous for the Bills defense going up against Patrick Mahomes in the Playoffs. It feels like they're gonna have to patchwork something together here. And maybe, maybe they just have to just do like their offense just has to go nuclear. ... they've lost everything [on defense].
The Eagles’ Historic Meltdown
Max is officially in a dark place after the Eagles put up a truly "despicable" performance against the Buccaneers. It wasn't just that they lost; it was the way they looked like they’d never seen a blitz before. Max is calling for a total house cleaning in Philly, with only one man safe from the chopping block.
MaxThe Eagles should fire everyone on the coaching staff except Big Dom
I want every one of them go ... Big dom stays. Big dom has stayed through multiple coaching generations. ... We need a leader of men on this team.
This wasn't just a bad end to a season. For Max, this was a failure of monumental proportions. The Eagles went from being a "coin flip" away from a Super Bowl title to a team that looked like they didn't even want to be on the field in Tampa.
MaxThe Eagles' end-of-season collapse is the worst in the history of sports
This is also the worst collapse in like the history of sports. It really is actually... the Eagles were very good last year and went to the Super Bowl and then the 10 and 1. It was a coin flip Super Bowl game.
While the coaching staff is catching all the heat, the conversation turned to Jalen Hurts. Despite the stagnant offense and the lingering knee issues that Big Cat and PFT have been pointing out since October, Max isn't ready to give up on his franchise guy. He still thinks the talent is there, even if the scheme was a disaster.
MaxJalen Hurts is still a top 10 quarterback despite the poor season ending
Jalen is still a good quarterback. ... I would say I, I, I, well a thousand percent say that. I think he's top 10. I think he was borderline top five going to this year. I think he's probably between five and 10.
Pete Prisco and the Coaching Carousel
Our good friend Pete Prisco joined the show to break down what exactly happened to his Jacksonville Jaguars (who he definitely didn't pick to be the one seed) and look ahead to the divisional round. Pete was high on the Packers' performance and had some massive praise for Jordan Love, which Big Cat was surprisingly quick to agree with.
Big CatJordan Love is playing so well that I've admitted he is probably a future Hall of Famer
Jordan loves playing incredible football. I've just admitted that he's probably a future hall of famer. ... That guy has a little bit of 'it' to it. You know, you can't see that when, when a guy comes out in the draft.
Prisco also weighed in on the CJ Stroud phenomenon. The Texans' rookie has been so good that Pete is reaching back into the history books for a comparison that will make any football fan sit up a little straighter.
Pete PriscoCJ Stroud reminds me of Dan Marino in his heyday
He makes me think of Dan Marino in his heyday. ... He makes it look so easy with the quick release and the ability to throw out. ... The ability to decipher it and put it right on the numbers and make it makes it look easy. There, there are a few guys that walk into this league and make it look that easy. That's why he reminds me of Marino.
With so many high-profile openings, the coaching search talk is reaching a fever pitch. Pete shared his predictions for where the big names will land, including a move for Bill Belichick that would be the ultimate "cuck move" for the Falcons according to Big Cat.
Pete PriscoBill Belichick will be the next head coach of the Atlanta Falcons
Belichick's gonna go to Atlanta. ... because all you wanna do, if you're, if you're Arthur Blank, all you wanna do is win.
Hot Seat/Cool Throne and Dallas Hank
Hank is finally back in the studio after a "hellacious" travel experience from Dallas. While the New York Post might be speculating on his relationship status with Tiffany Gomas, Hank officially set the record straight on the couch. It turns out that a difference in football ideology—specifically whether Dak Prescott is good or should be replaced by Bill Belichick—was the ultimate dealbreaker.
HankRomantically, things are not going to happen with Tiffany Gomas
I would like to, you know, set the record straight that we're not [dating]. ... we just kind of said, let's, let's just, you know, call a spade a spade and go our separate ways. ... I just think romantically it's not, it's not not gonna happen.
In a lighter moment of Hot Seat/Cool Throne, the guys discussed the GPA of the Liberty football team and Big Cat’s philosophy on higher education. According to the middle-aged man who once took a class called "Dinosaurs," college is really just about navigating the system.
Big CatCollege is a sham where you just have to find the hacks and tricks to get through
College is a sham. It's a big trick. You just gotta get through the tricks. You just find tricks and then you're like, alright, this class is easy... I hit 120 [credits] the last second. It's really, college is like, can you find the, the hacks?
We wrapped things up with a very hygiene-focused Guys on Chicks. The debate over how many wipes is too many wipes led to some harrowing revelations about Jake Marsh’s folding techniques and Big Cat’s firm stance on modern bathroom amenities.
Big CatI have completely converted to being a wipes person for bathroom hygiene
I buy them at stores 'cause I'm just like, I I've completely converted to a wipes person. ... You have to finish [with them].
Just remember, if you ever find yourself in a freezing cold pool, try not to put your knee through a drywall on the way to the shower.
