Deion Sanders on Tyreek Hill, Week 12 Recap, and the Bears' Demise

Week 12 in the NFL was a rollercoaster of emotions, especially for Big Cat. The Bears got absolutely dog-walked by the Packers on national television, which has become a tradition unlike any other. While the offense showed a tiny spark of life with Mitchell Trubisky back under center, it wasn't enough to save a defense that looked lost without Akeem Hicks. Billy Football found the silver lining in Mitch's return to the lineup.

The Bears looked like a more competent offense with Mitchell Trubisky compared to Nick Foles

They looked like a competenter offense. I don't want to say competent, but they, I don't know, there's something about Mitch. I think maybe it's just the fact that he looks alive when he plays quarterback. Whereas Nick Foles, when he's back there, sometimes he just looks like a corpse. So they appear to be slightly better.

Subjective comparison of two struggling quarterbacks in a losing season.

Big Cat, however, is at the breaking point with his franchise. Watching Aaron Rodgers systematically dismantle Chicago for the thousandth time has him ready to call it quits on the entire season, or perhaps the entire existence of the team. He’s pleading with the league to show some mercy to the viewing public.

The NFL should stop putting the Bears in primetime

I think I speak for America when I say the Bears playing in one of the primetime slots needs to end. Next year when the schedule comes out, you give us that fucking one Thursday game early in the season, the Jacksonville Jaguars rule, give us that Thursday game, and then be done with it. No more Bears in primetime.

The NFL continued to put the Chicago Bears in primetime games in 2021 due to their large market size.

The AFC Landscape and Tractor-Cito Season

Over in the AFC South, the Titans reminded everyone that it is officially Tractor-Cito season. Derrick Henry went nuclear on the Colts' defense, rushing for 178 yards and three touchdowns in the first half alone. It was a dominant performance that left Big Cat and PFT questioning if Indianapolis can actually hang with the big boys when the playoffs start, especially if Philip Rivers has to play from behind.

I would bet against the Colts in the playoffs because they are the quintessential 'everything has to be perfect' team

Remind me to please bet against the Colts in the playoffs. Because they are the quintessential everything-has-to-be-perfect team. They have to play from a lead. They have to protect Phillip Rivers. They've got to be able to run the ball, which they weren't able to do pretty much any of those things today.

The Colts lost in the Wild Card round to the Buffalo Bills, 27-24.

In the NFC East, the Washington Football Team is lurking in the shadows of a historically bad division. PFT pointed out that their current winning strategy doesn't actually involve explosive offensive plays or high-scoring shootouts, but rather a war of attrition against the other quarterbacks in the division.

The Washington Football Team's strategy is to wait for every other QB in the NFC East to get hurt

I think the Washington football team's strategy is starting to finally come to full fruition here. It is essentially like pass the ball five yards down the field with Alex Smith and then wait for every other quarterback in the NFC East to get hurt. And that's the strategy, and it's now we're two-thirds of the way there.

Washington won the division after Dak Prescott, Daniel Jones (partially), and the Eagles QB room struggled or dealt with injuries.

Deion Sanders on the Chiefs and Hot Garbage Defenses

Deion Sanders joined the show to break down Tyreek Hill’s historic performance against the Bucs. Hill put up over 200 yards in the first quarter, making the Tampa Bay secondary look like they were standing in wet cement. Coach Prime was blunt about the Raiders' performance as well, noting that their loss to the Falcons shouldn't have been that surprising given their defensive struggles.

The Raiders' defense is hot garbage

The Raiders' defense is hot garbage. I mean hot garbage. Hot garbage like straight out of the microwave. And you know that... Defensively, they ain't going nowhere with that bull jump, man.

The Raiders finished the 2020 season ranked 30th in points allowed and 25th in yards allowed.

When the conversation turned to the Chiefs' unstoppable duo of Mahomes and Hill, Deion didn't hesitate to remind everyone why he has those gold and red jackets in his closet. He wasn't particularly impressed with the Bucs' scheme and claims the Cheetah wouldn't have had a single yard if Prime was in his prime.

If I were guarding Tyreek Hill one-on-one, he would have zero catches and zero yards

No, no, no. You can't even ask me that. I'm primed. He doesn't beat you deep. Tyreek Hill, zero catches, zero yards. I got three jackets in the closet, and I didn't buy either of them.

Impossible to verify, but fits the 'Prime' persona perfectly.

Around the League and the Paul Brothers

We also touched on the Giants' defense being legitimately good-ish, the Bills' continued inability to defend a Hail Mary, and the Broncos playing a game without a single active quarterback on the roster. Big Cat is starting to come around on the idea that despite the opt-outs and the lack of talent on the roster, Bill Belichick might be putting together his masterpiece in New England.

The 2020 season is Bill Belichick's best coaching job ever

Remember I told you this take a few weeks ago? I do think it's coming. Is this Bill Belichick's best coaching job? It might be. This actually is Bill Belichick's best coaching job.

The Patriots finished 7-9 and missed the playoffs for the first time since 2008, making this hard to defend as his 'best' work.

To wrap things up, Billy Football is officially coming for Jake Paul's neck. After watching the Nate Robinson fight, Billy is convinced that Paul is ducking real competition and that the height advantage listed on Wikipedia is a total work. Billy is ready to step into the ring and defend the honor of the PMT crew, provided he can find the time between his various podcasting duties.

I would fuck up Jake Paul in a fight 100%

I will fuck up Jake Paul 100%. He's small. He's 5'7 at the tallest. I looked at a picture of him next to Dave Portnoy, and they were the exact same height... I have a bigger reach than Jake Paul. I would totally be able to pick him out from the outside.

Billy Football never fought Jake Paul. Jake Paul went on to defeat several professional athletes and MMA champions.

At least the Bears still have David Montgomery’s 57-yard run to watch on loop until next September.

The Bears should take a year off from football

I'd be cool if the Bears just not playing football anymore. Just implode the team. Stop the count. No, I want them to exist, but maybe take one year off.

The Bears did not, in fact, take a year off from football.

The Giants job is one of the best in the NFL because of Justin Herbert

I would actually throw out there that the Chargers job is probably going to be one of the top jobs out there, simply by the fact that Justin Herbert looks for real... You have the recipe for a championship window. The quarterback on his rookie deal, who in the next couple years could be a bona fide guy.

The Chargers job was highly sought after, eventually being filled by Brandon Staley, primarily due to Herbert's potential.

The Cardinals are soft and might miss the playoffs

I don't know what to make of the Cardinals. I think they stink. I'm now in the Cardinals stink. I'm sick of hearing about the Cardinals and being like, I think they're soft... I think they're not going to make the playoffs.

The Cardinals did indeed miss the playoffs in 2020 after an 8-8 finish, making this a prescient take.

The Saints are actually better against the spread without Drew Brees

Drew Brees has missed seven games in the last two years. The Saints are 7-0, but more importantly, they are 7-0 against the spread... Statistics don't lie.

The record was accurate at the time of the recording.

Kyle Shanahan is an elite coach who owns Sean McVay

Kyle Shanahan owns Sean McVay. Four in a row against Sean McVay. Sweep this year when he's got no one to play. Kyle Shanahan is such a good fucking coach... He has them ready to go, scheming them up. He's got a million injuries... Doesn't matter. They're competitive, and he owns Sean McVay.

Shanahan's head-to-head dominance over McVay in the regular season continued for several years.

Patrick Mahomes could throw for 4,000 yards in a single game if he really tried

Tony Romo started to joke around saying that Tyreek Hill could have 1,000 yards receiving in a game. I actually think that Patrick Mahomes could throw 4,000 yards over the course of a game.

Literal impossibility; the single-game passing record is 554 yards.

The Falcons should hire Rex Ryan to take over their defense

Honestly, man, if they could somehow convince a guy like Rex Ryan to come out and take over the defense, they would be phenomenal. You need a real defensive mind to do something with that defense. That's the kind of guy that you need.

The Falcons did not hire Rex Ryan; they eventually hired Arthur Smith as HC and Dean Pees as DC.

Derrick Henry would have never 'stiff-armed' me the way he did Josh Norman

I told [Henry] that had he and I played against each other, I would have formed tackled him... When I really told him that he would have never done me like Josh Norman. Because we would have never got in that situation.

Tom Brady doesn't look good in Bruce Arians' offense

He really needs to let Tom be Tom. Let him go out there and do his thing... Bruce Arians, the great quarterback team's coach, in the first year, all of them had at least 15 picks... That's not good management of an offense... Tom doesn't look good.

While they struggled mid-season, the Bucs adjusted and won the Super Bowl that same year.
