NFL Week 4 Preview, Ryder Cup Breakdown, and 1 Question with Daniel Jones
NFL Week 4 is here, but we first had to survive a Thursday Night Football game that felt like a localized Funfetti disaster in Arizona. The Seahawks and Cardinals spent about 55 minutes playing some of the most aesthetic-hating football imaginable before Sam Darnold eventually led a game-winning drive. While the ending was exciting, PFT couldn't help but notice the miserable vibes coming from the Cardinals' star duo.
PFT CommenterKyler Murray is really good at a job that he hates and doesn't have fun playing football
I think [Kyler Murray] is really good at a job that he hates. And I think, I don't think he like, has fun playing football. Marvin Harrison, I think he's just, he's got the yips. He's in a weird zone and he's like not having a good time either. And he doesn't have a, a leader on the team that's actually like, trying to get him to play better. They go to the sidelines and they both just look sad.
Big Cat was feeling himself early on because his preseason priors on Seattle are looking like a lock. The Seahawks defense spent the night making Kyler Murray look like he was playing a game he desperately wanted to quit.
Big CatThe Seahawks are a very good team and their defense is excellent
I think the Seahawks are good. I think their defense is very good and, and I I just think they're good. Like I, I, I, I'm high on the Seahawks and I'm low on the Cardinals.
MLB Playoff Chaos and Week 4 Picks
Before diving into the NFL slate, the guys checked in on a wild final weekend for baseball. The Tigers and Guardians are providing high-level drama, and PFT is officially buying into the Cleveland hype while Memes is ready to put his life on the line for the Mets.
PFT CommenterThe Guardians are the best team in baseball right now
Guardians are, are red hot. I put a future on the Guardians to win the World Series just because of like how crazy this last month has been for them. The best team in baseball right now. I don't think they're, they're the most talented team, but like, in terms of the streak that they're on, it's worth a shot at least.
MemesThe Mets are definitely making the playoffs
Gun to your head? Are they making the playoffs? Yes. Yes, yes, yes. Yes. They, they are definitely set up in a spot that they should, they should be feeling okay about themselves.
Moving to the NFL, the slate is loaded with "gut check" games. PFT is sweating the status of Terry McLaurin, fearing that a second opinion on a quad injury usually spells disaster for a core muscle group. Meanwhile, he's looking for a "pride cover" from the Saints against the Bills, despite Buffalo being massive favorites.
PFT CommenterI am worried that Terry McLaurin has a serious core injury
I've become worried about Terry [McLaurin] though. Yesterday it comes out, he's getting a second opinion on a quad injury. And I would imagine that if the first opinion was good news, he probably wouldn't be like, Hey, let me make sure I'll go get a second opinion. And then did a, a little bit of digging... the doctor that he's seeing for the second opinion is a core injury specialist. Mm. Like sports hernias.
PFT CommenterThe Saints will cover +15.5 against the Bills as a 'pride game'
I'm going to bet on the Saints. Yeah. And I'm, I'm not doing it for like, normal reasons... I'm firmly labeling this as a Do you have any pride game? Yeah. For the Saints. So gut check you, I I'm betting on like Brandon Cooks. I'm betting on Demario Davis... If they, if they don't cover in this one done.
Big Cat and PFT also highlighted the defensive masterclass happening in Cleveland. While the offense remains a giant question mark, the defense is arguably the best unit in the league. On the flip side, Big Cat has officially reached his breaking point with the Titans after another week of fraudulent behavior.
Big CatI'm officially done with the Tennessee Titans
I'm done with the titans done with them. So I'm gonna take the Texans, but I'm done with the Titans. I don't, this game, this game is not exciting to me whatsoever. Titans are two and 14 against the spread in their last 16 games. I just, I have to quit. I have to stop.
The Mahomes Conversation and Sunday Night Drama
The game of the week features the Ravens and Chiefs, and the stakes feel higher than a regular season matchup. PFT thinks the loser of this game becomes the scariest team in the league, but Big Cat is ready to start a very specific dialogue if Patrick Mahomes doesn't look like his usual self.
PFT CommenterThe loser of Ravens-Chiefs is going to be a dangerous problem for the rest of the league
I think whoever loses this game is gonna be a problem. I think Loser might get hungrier.
Big CatThe Patrick Mahomes 'conversation' will be triggered if the Chiefs lose badly to the Ravens
At what point do we have to say there's maybe Mahomes isn't what he was... This is the conversation game. If they lose and it's close, then it's not the time for the conversation. Right. But we will have a definitive answer after this game.
One Question with Daniel Jones
Colts QB Daniel Jones joined the show for the return of a legendary segment. We got to the bottom of the "Indiana Jones" nickname, his thoughts on the "Vanilla Vic" moniker, and a very important athletic update regarding his ability to finish at the rim.
I can still dunk a basketball
Can I still dunk? Yeah, I could still dunk. I could still dunk.
Before letting him go, Daniel Jones provided a textbook hard count that gave the guys flashbacks to Eli Manning. Big Cat also made sure to send a message to Colts center Quentin Nelson regarding a specific feat of strength.
Big CatI can chug a beer faster than Colts center Quentin Nelson
Ask [Quentin Nelson] if Big Cat can chug a beer faster than him because the answer is yes. And I did that... I was like eventually, like I think he might just strangle me.
Ryder Cup Preview with Shane Bacon
Shane Bacon stopped by to get everyone hyped for the Ryder Cup at Bethpage Black. The vibes are high, the crowd is going to be nasty, and Shane thinks the Americans might be in some serious trouble if they don't lean into their big personalities like Bryson DeChambeau.
Shane BaconEurope will win the Ryder Cup and a visiting team win would be good for the tournament
I think Europe's gonna win... I actually think it's kind of important for the Europeans to win this thing. I think putting the, the pressure kind of on the Americans in a couple years... I think actually the the visiting team winning one of these things that hadn't happened since 2012 would actually be good for Ryder Cups.
Shane BaconBryson DeChambeau is the perfect partner for alternate shot at the Ryder Cup
Bryson obviously can lean on a lot of the big driving holes and JT can lean on the great great Iron play. I think Bryson has potential to be a big, big star this week... I think he's one of those guys you want to be paired up with as opposed to not wanting to be paired up with.
Shane also broke down why Matt Fitzpatrick has the most to lose this weekend and why the betting value on Europe is too good to ignore, even if it feels un-American to say it out loud.
Shane BaconMatt Fitzpatrick will statistically go down as the worst Ryder Cup player of all time if he has a bad tournament this year
Matt Fitzpatrick is 1-7-0 in the history of the Ryder Cup... I think it's the worst percentage of anybody that's ever played more than one Ryder Cup. If he has a bad Ryder Cup, he's gonna go down statistically as the worst Ryder Cup player of all time.
Shane BaconBetting on Europe at +170 is a 'hammer' bet
I think the fact that you're getting plus money on Europe is wild. I would, I would, I would hammer Europe right now. I think, I think it, I think it's potential for blowout on the European side.
We wrapped up with Fyre Fest of the Week, where Zach is being slowly pushed out of his apartment by a new management company and PFT is currently composed of 40% football skin and glue after a morning show stunt gone wrong.
Just remember: if the Chiefs lose by 20, the conversation officially begins on Sunday night.
