NFL Week 3 Recap: Big Cat Is Dead, Jameis the Oculus QB, and the Lions' Pain
Big Cat’s voice has been through some things. After a weekend where his beloved Badgers got dismantled and the Chicago Bears offense put up a performance that should be investigated by the Hague, he is officially a dead man. The only thing keeping him going is the realization that Aaron Rodgers is once again ruining his life by being undeniably elite.
Rodgers and the Sunday Night Heartbreaker
Just when it looked like the 49ers might have escaped with a win, Aaron Rodgers reminded everyone why he’s a pervert for winning close games. PFT pointed out that the Niners simply left too much time on the clock for a guy who treats 37 seconds like an eternity.
PFT CommenterAnything above 20 seconds is too much time to leave on the clock for Aaron Rodgers to win a game.
If you give Aaron Rodgers, I would say 19 seconds is not enough time for Aaron Rodgers. Anything above 20, it's too much time. ... they had no timeouts so you basically have to do the perfect drive and he did it.
Despite all the off-season drama and the Week 1 clunker, Big Cat had to admit that the bad man is still the bad man.
Big CatAaron Rodgers is still one of the best football players on planet Earth
All the hemming and hawing about Aaron Rodgers possibly not caring, possibly not being still one of the best football players on planet earth. It turns out maybe not true. Turns out he's still pretty fucking good at football.
While the Packers are humming, the Niners' quarterback situation feels like a ticking clock. Jimmy Garoppolo did enough to keep them in it, but the shadow of Trey Lance is getting larger every week.
PFT CommenterJimmy Garoppolo will be traded mid-season
I do agree with you though. I think that the clock is ticking on Jimmy G. It just feels like Jimmy G gets traded mid season.
The Lions Find New Ways to Lose
In a weekend of high drama, nothing topped the ending in Detroit. The Lions managed to give up a 4th and 19 only to lose on a record-shattering 66-yard doink from Justin Tucker. Big Cat is ready to crown Tucker as the GOAT of his position after that performance.
Big CatJustin Tucker is the greatest kicker in NFL history.
Is [Justin Tucker] the greatest kicker of all time? I know Adam Vinatieri obviously has the most clutch kicks, but Justin Tucker is insane. 66-yarder breaks the record. ... 90.7% field goals in his career, and he's never missed a field goal in the final minute of a regulation game. Clutch and incredible.
It was a devastating loss for a Lions team that actually looks frisky under Dan Campbell. PFT thinks that while the losses are painful, the fans should embrace the long-term vision of a high draft pick while staying competitive.
PFT CommenterThe best thing the Lions could do this year is to lose every game while staying competitive to secure a high draft pick.
The best thing the Lions could do this year is to lose every game. Be competitive in every single game so you know that you have some pieces to build on and then get a sick draft pick. ... win three games this year, but remain competitive and all of them.
War Crimes in Cleveland
The Bears-Browns game was less of a football game and more of a crime scene. Justin Fields' first start was completely sabotaged by a Matt Nagy game plan that involved no rollouts, no moving the pocket, and essentially no hope. Big Cat is so deep in the torture chamber that he’s convinced the play-calling was a sabotage mission.
Big CatMatt Nagy purposefully threw the Browns game to prove that Andy Dalton is better than Justin Fields
I think he threw that game to try to prove that he's right. That Andy Dalton's a better quarterback than Justin Fields right now because that's the only explanation for the play calling and the game plan that he put out there.
The misery in Chicago is real, but the consensus remains: no matter how bad it looks, there is no reason to go back to the Andy Dalton experience.
Big CatI want to see Justin Fields play because the Bears are going nowhere and we already know what Andy Dalton is.
The point has always been, the Bears are going nowhere. We know what Andy Dalton is. Why not try to see what you have in a rookie QB that you just used a lot of draft capital on. Play Justin Fields. ... There's no reason to play Andy Dalton and win like six games. You rather see Justin Fields progress.
Jameis Winston and the Oculus Experience
Jameis Winston is currently conducting the most efficient, hilarious season in the history of the league. He’s throwing touchdowns at a rate that defies logic, especially considering how many yards he actually has.
Big CatI hope Jameis Winston finishes the season with 30 touchdowns and only 1,200 passing yards.
Jameis Winston is working right now on the most hilarious season ever. ... I hope he ends up with 30 touchdowns and 1200 yards. ... Seven touchdowns thrown, 387 total yards. That's efficiency right there.
PFT has a theory that Jameis is playing a different game than everyone else, describing his pocket presence as someone wearing a VR headset and fighting off invisible demons.
PFT CommenterJameis Winston is an 'Oculus QB' because he drops back looking at things nobody else sees.
Jameis Winston... he looks like he's seeing shit that nobody else has seen. And he's just looking in the strangest directions and ducking underneath invisible things and almost falling down. He's the Oculus QB before he ever throws a pass.
Looking Ahead to Brady’s Return
With the Patriots looking stagnant against the Saints and Tom Brady coming off a loss to the Rams, the stage is set for a bloodbath in Foxborough. Hank has seen enough of Mac Jones' struggles to make a bold prediction for the homecoming game.
HankThe Buccaneers are going to beat the Patriots by 30 in Tom Brady's return
My gut feeling is like the Bucs are going to beat them by 30... There's no great signs, there's no great throws, there's no good drives. They didn't get a first down until like the second quarter.
Meanwhile, the Chargers and Matthew Stafford are both ascending to the top of the league. PFT is fully bought into the Chargers' hype after they took down the Chiefs in Arrowhead.
PFT CommenterThe Chargers are legitimate Super Bowl contenders
These Chargers can win the Super Bowl. These Chargers are fucking awesome.
Big Cat also feels validated in his decade-long stance on Matthew Stafford, who is finally getting the recognition he deserved after years of being trapped in Detroit.
Big CatMatthew Stafford will be in the Hall of Fame
I actually feel really good about my take, my long standing take that Matt Stafford is going to be in the Hall of Fame... if he can figure out a way to get to a Super Bowl or even win a Super Bowl ring, then it's like, he's a hall of famer.
To wrap up, the guys celebrated the USA's dominance in the Ryder Cup, though Big Cat's ability to hold a grudge remains his strongest skill when it comes to the St. Louis Cardinals.
Someone check on Big Cat's blood pressure before the Week 4 kick-off.
