Week 16 Recap: Cowboys Collapse, Jameis Thrives, and the Great Dip Spit Mystery
Week 16 is officially in the books, and while the fantasy season is wrapping up for most normal people, Big Cat and PFT are here to remind everyone that some people just love to suffer. If you’re still playing for a championship next week, you might want to look in the mirror.
Big CatWeek 17 fantasy football leagues are for psychos
Hank, bring that up on the other side... how stupid people are who do week [17]... people that somehow keep their fantasy season going along until week 17. You're a psycho. You're a psycho if you do it.
The Chiefs Torture Chamber and Jameis Magic
The Sunday Night game was a nightmare for Bears fans as Patrick Mahomes basically spent four quarters counting to ten to remind Chicago exactly where he was drafted. While Mahomes was effortless, the Chiefs' defense actually looked like a unit with some bite for once. PFT is even convinced their defensive coordinator might have done enough to earn another shot at the big whistle elsewhere.
PFT CommenterSteve Spagnuolo will be a head coach next year
I'm just going to make a prediction right now. Check it. Steve Spagnuolo... He's going to be interviewed by a lot of teams this offseason as a head coach. It's been enough time where people forgot that he's not a good head coach. I think he's actually going to be a head coach next year.
Meanwhile, Saturday gave us the full Jameis Winston experience. The man had a pick-six before most people could even find the remote, yet still managed to throw for over 300 yards. It’s the kind of high-wire act that makes you jealous of Bucs fans. On the other side of that game, the Texans clinched the South, but Big Cat isn't exactly booking their Super Bowl parade yet.
Big CatThe Texans have no chance of winning more than one playoff game this year
Do you think the Texans have any ability to win [a playoff game]? I would say one's pushing it. That's how toothless I feel like they are. One is pushing it.
NFC Chaos and the Rams' Hangover
The Rams' season officially died at the hands of the 49ers, and now the Super Bowl hangover is fully documented. With no draft picks and a massive salary cap bill coming due, the conversation turned to how the Rams can actually fix this mess. PFT had a bold suggestion for how to recoup some of that lost capital.
PFT CommenterThe Rams should trade Aaron Donald to recoup draft picks
The Rams... essentially the gist of it was nothing is off the table here and even possibly trading Aaron Donald would be... because they don't have picks. They don't have picks in the next two drafts. So now they might have to pay back some of that all in to get some draft capital... It'd be crazy if they did that, but they would also get a lot back for it.
As for the 49ers, they got the win, but they don't look like the invincible juggernaut they were in October. The defense has shown some cracks, especially against short passing attacks, and the guys are starting to wonder if they can actually navigate a loaded NFC bracket.
PFT CommenterI no longer feel as good about the 49ers' defense as I did earlier in the season
The parts that I used to feel good about with the 49ers, I feel not as good. And the parts that I used to feel bad about, I feel better... I just don't know. The 49ers I can't make heads or tails of. There's times where I watch them I'm like this team is so so good and there's times I watch them like man what's going on here.
The Freddie Kitchens Experience
In Cleveland, the Ravens officially locked up the top seed, but the real story was Freddie Kitchens’ continued mastery of doing the wrong thing at the wrong time. Between terrible situational play-calling and losing the locker room, Big Cat has seen enough of the Freddie era.
Big CatFreddie Kitchens must be fired by the Browns
I think in Cleveland, Freddie Kitchens needs to be fired. Situational football, not his strength... And only a bad coach lets that happen. I just don't... I think he's worth firing.
Further down the standings, the "bad" games actually turned out to be the most entertaining. The Bengals and Dolphins went to a shootout, while the Giants and Redskins played an overtime thriller that might have actually screwed the Giants' draft position. With the Eagles winning a gritty one against the Cowboys, the NFC East is now a mess of its own making. Big Cat thinks the Giants might have one more spoiler performance left in them.
Big CatThe Giants will beat the Eagles in Week 17
I wouldn't be shocked if the Giants somehow beat the Eagles on Sunday. I wouldn't either. I think it's possible. That's just stupid enough for the NFC East to come down to that.
Who’s Back and a Final Confession
To wrap up the show, the guys discussed the absolute disaster that is the *Cats* movie and the weird phenomenon of Taco Fall in Boston. But the real fireworks came at the very end. After weeks of denial and gaslighting that nearly broke Big Cat's brain, PFT finally addressed the most controversial topic in the history of the show: the Mountain Dew dip spit bottle.
PFT CommenterI officially admit that it was my 'dip spit' in the Mountain Dew bottle
Who's dip spit do you really think it was? Seriously, like, all shtick aside. You know it wasn't mine, right? I mean, the fact that you wanted it is, like, crazy. No, of course I am. Of course it was mine. Who else would it be?
It’s a Christmas miracle that we finally got the truth, even if it took a sociopathic level of lying to get there.
At least now we can all go into the offseason knowing that the bottle was exactly whose we thought it was.
