NFL Talk With Chris Long, NFL Week 10 Picks And Preview, Windmill Deep Dive, TNF Stinker + Fyre Fest Of The Week

Friday, November 7, 202519 takes

Thursday Night Football absolutely sucked and we stayed up to watch and recap it. The Broncos and Raiders uniforms looked nice but nothing else did (-). We preview every game for Week 10 in the NFL including some windmill deep dives, a state of the union for the Commanders, Max still doesnt understand a desperate team, can the Jaguars win the AFC South and more (-). Jerry's fantasy fuccbois and our best bets (-). 2X Super Bowl Champion Chris Long joins the show to talk ball, trade deadline, who impresses him the most, let down spots, coaches grabbing players and more (-). We finish with Fyre Fest of the week (-).

NFL Week 10 Preview, Chris Long on the Trade Deadline, and Windmill Truthers

Thursday Night Football was a absolute war of attrition that nobody asked for. Watching the Broncos and Raiders slog through a game where the most exciting highlights were punts felt like a personal attack on the audience. PFT noted that while Bo Nix might not be lighting up the stat sheet with passing yards, he’s essentially found a way to become a modern-day version of a Florida legend.

Bo Nix is essentially the new Tim Tebow

I'm a believer. But the bow [Nix] wins football games. This is why we've been saying that he is Tim Tebow. Did you, you give him all the credit in the world for this and it was, that was a dog shit football game.

Subjective comparison of playing styles and 'winning' intangibles.

Big Cat was particularly offended by the Raiders' inability to do literally anything right, citing a graphic that showed more penalties and blocked punts than actual points. The only silver lining was a brief physics lesson regarding the thin air in Denver.

Wind is less impactful on football games in Denver due to the high altitude

Did you know that at altitude mile high, the wind doesn't have as much of an effect because the air is so thin. So if it's blowing 20 miles an hour, 20 miles an hour in Denver is like 25 miles an hour down at sea level.

Scientifically accurate; air density is roughly 20% lower in Denver, reducing the pressure exerted by wind.

Week 10 Picks and Preview

The guys moved into a massive Week 10 preview, starting with the Germany game between the Falcons and the Colts. PFT is all-in on the Colts' secondary getting a massive boost from the trade deadline, while Big Cat is looking at the long game in the AFC South.

The Jaguars control their own destiny in the AFC South if they beat the Colts twice

The Jaguars actually control their own destiny. If they could somehow beat the Colts twice, they will win the a FC South. I don't, I don't, I don't think the Jaguars are better than the cults. I just want that on the record. No, I'm just saying if you're looking for value, the cults have a difficult schedule and the Jaguars have a easier schedule and they play twice.

The Jaguars won the AFC South at 13-4 on an 8-game win streak. They controlled their own destiny and won the division convincingly.

As the conversation shifted to the Giants and Bears, the seat is officially hot for Brian Daboll. Between reports of him nearly being left on the tarmac in Denver and Lane Kiffin already publicly declining a job that isn't even open yet, things are looking grim in New York.

Lane Kiffin won't take the Giants job because it's too cold in New York

Lane Kiffin has officially taken his hat out of the running to be the Giants next head coach 'cause of coldness. [Kiffin] said not interested, too cold up there.

Based on the internal logic of the show's news reporting, Kiffin has removed himself from consideration.

The Great Windmill Debate

What started as a throwaway comment in a previous episode turned into a full-scale investigation into the wind turbine industry. Hank is standing his ground against offshore turbines, citing a story about a broken blade destroying a Block Island ecosystem. Big Cat, however, did some "research" and discovered that the real avian threat isn't the blades—it's the neighborhood cats.

Feral cats are a significantly larger threat to bird populations than wind turbines

Cats are responsible for an estimated 365 million to 2.4 billion bird deaths per year in the US alone. And then wind turbines are responsible for an estimated 140,000 to 680,000 bird deaths annually... Feral cats are a problem. That's my, that's, that's the conclusion I came up with.

Data from the American Bird Conservancy and other environmental agencies confirms that cats kill roughly 2.4 billion birds annually, while turbines kill roughly 500,000.

Wind turbines should be banned from the ocean because they destroy ecosystems

I'll stand up business on, on wind getting wind turbines out of the ocean. I don't really care one way or the other about the ones on land... I was on a boat off of Block Island and the captain was telling me about how a wind turbine broke and the pieces of the wind turbine were just completely destroying the ecosystem of the ocean.

Subjective policy stance based on anecdotal evidence.

Chris Long Joins the Show

Friend of the program Chris Long stopped by to break down the trade deadline and the state of the league. He gave some flowers to Caleb Williams, noting that despite the early-season panic from Bears fans, the talent level is undeniably higher than anything else in the NFC North right now.

Caleb Williams is the most talented quarterback in the NFC North

I, I don't think it's unreasonable to say [Caleb Williams] is the most talented quarterback in the division... he's got a different kind of talent like the extension of plays, the throwing off tar off platform. Like that's big in today's NFL.

The relative talent of QBs in a division is a matter of long-term subjective debate.

Chris also broke down his philosophy on team building. While everyone loves a flashy pass rusher, he argued that a lockdown corner is actually the more valuable asset because of how you can manipulate a defensive scheme.

I would draft a generational cornerback over a generational pass rusher

If I had an opportunity at, you know, like a generational pass rusher with nobody behind them or a generational corner with decent rushers up front. I'm taking the generational corner... you cannot manufacture coverage. You can manufacture pass rush.

Positional value is a core debate in NFL scouting and cannot be definitively proven either way.

When looking at the upcoming slate, Chris is sticking with the proven commodities. He thinks the Ravens are going to handle the Vikings specifically because of how Lamar Jackson handles pressure.

The Ravens will roll over the Vikings because Lamar Jackson is too difficult to blitz

I really like the Ravens. I think the Ravens roll this week. You can't blitz Lamar and Brian Flores likes to blitz. I think this team knows that they have no margin for error.

Chris Long predicted the Ravens would roll over the Vikings in Week 10. The Ravens won 27-19, a comfortable 8-point victory as Long predicted.

Fyre Fest of the Week

Hank is suffering from "Old Man Syndrome" after a Barstool dodgeball stream left his body completely compromised. Max and PFT also took some heaters to the face, proving that college dodgeball players are a different breed. Meanwhile, Zach defended his right to go on "solo dates," specifically to high-end restaurants just to eat dessert.

Solo dates are the superior way to experience the movies

I went on, I guess what someone called solo date the other day. I thought it was okay. I thought it was like a rec, a super normal thing to do... You ever, you ever go to the movies solo? Yes sir. All the time. That's great. I think that's the best way to go to the movies.

Personal lifestyle preference.

Memes nearly broke his losing streak with the numbers, but ultimately, the struggle continues for everyone involved except Big Cat.

May we all find a sticky date cake as good as the one Zach treated himself to this week.

Al Michaels' broadcasting mood is determined by the length of his flight to the stadium

My theory too on Al is that it just depends on how long of a flight he had to take. So when he's like at a Charger's vi the Charger's playing the Vikings, which was a blowout, he was pretty happy tonight... If he has to call next week Jets, patriots, we're gonna get a surly surly al Michaels 'cause he is gotta go cross country. He's gonna be pissed off.

Inherently subjective theory about a broadcaster's internal mood.

Sauce Gardner is exactly the type of player the Colts secondary needs

I think that [Sauce Gardner] is exactly what the Colts need in terms of a football player... he's exactly what the Colts need in terms of a football player [after the trade].

The outcome is pending the performance of Gardner in this hypothetical Colts season.

Drake Maye's early success is inflated due to an easy schedule

Drake May's wins might be a little inflated. Do their easy schedule this year. Whoa... Hottest take, I guess hottest take about this game would be... definitely a may win.

Drake Maye's success was not inflated by an easy schedule. He led the Patriots to 14-3, the AFC East title, the AFC Championship, and the Super Bowl. His 4,394 yards and 72% completion rate held up against all competition.

The Seahawks are legitimate Super Bowl contenders

The Seahawks are really fucking good. They're Super Bowl contenders.

Big Cat said the Seahawks were legitimate Super Bowl contenders. The Seahawks went 14-3 in the 2025 regular season, won the NFC West, earned the No. 1 seed, and won Super Bowl LX, defeating the Patriots 29-13. They were indeed Super Bowl contenders — they won it all.

Kyler Murray made the correct financial decision choosing the NFL over MLB

I'll say that. Even if [Kyler Murray] never is a good starting quarterback in the NFL and never gets another bonafide shot, he made the correct choice because he's made $170 million.

This is a subjective evaluation of career success based on earnings.

The Italian race is essentially finished because they are too attracted to Latinas

He [Jersey Jerry] told me today that Italians were done in this country... because a lot of them are attracted to Latinas. And so then they have kids with Latinas and then there's no more Italians.

This is a satirical/absurd claim that cannot be evaluated seriously.

The Lions are going to destroy the Commanders this weekend

I think we're gonna get destroyed. I think Dan Campbell is going to have his team just salivating ready to destroy us. It's gonna be an ass kicking.

PFT predicted the Lions would destroy the Commanders in Week 10. The Lions won 44-22, a 22-point drubbing -- exactly the 'ass kicking' PFT predicted.

The Bills' best path to beating the Chiefs is exploiting Kansas City's lack of tight end coverage

The Bills' best hope is I don't know what Kansas City does to cover the tight ends... with Reed going to New Orleans, they're down a cover guy... the Bills have owned the middle of the field.

This is a schematic opinion on a potential playoff matchup.
