NFL Week 4 Recap, Deion Sanders Interview, and the Josh Allen Experience
Week 4 is in the books, and while the afternoon slate was a bit of a snooze fest that made Big Cat contemplate his love for the sport, the storylines are starting to cook. We have teams like the Browns actually looking like a functional football program, the Cowboys playing high-level fantasy football while forgetting defense exists, and the Buffalo Bills officially becoming the most fun team in the league.
The Browns are... Good?
Cleveland moved to 3-1 after dropping 49 points on the Cowboys, and they finally seem to have a blueprint that doesn't involve Freddie kitchens-level chaos. Kevin Stefanski has figured out that if you just give the ball to Nick Chubb and Kareem Hunt, life gets a lot easier for everyone involved.
Big CatThe Browns have finally found a distinct identity that works: run the ball and move the pocket for Baker Mayfield
They have a distinct identity that works for some reason... if you run the ball with the Browns and you have Baker [Mayfield] move the pocket and not have to throw 50 times a game, you're going to be a good football team.
On the other side of that track meet, the Cowboys are the ultimate enigma. Dak Prescott is on pace to throw for about 7,000 yards because he has to score 40 just to keep the game within reach. Big Cat pointed out that Jerry Jones has essentially built the world’s most expensive fantasy roster without a single thought given to the defensive side of the ball.
Big CatThe Cowboys are currently wasting one of the greatest championship windows by building a fantasy football team with no defense
I'm starting to think that like this will go down as one of the worst uses of like a championship window a team has ever had... Jerry Jones essentially in the last few years has said I want to pay my quarterback, pay my running back, pay my wide receiver, get another wide receiver. He's building a fantasy football team and then nothing on the defense and hope it works out.
Prime Time Assessment
Our good friend Deion Sanders joined the show to help make sense of the carnage. Prime didn't hold back on his former team, calling out the Dallas secondary for a lack of effort that would make a high school coach weep.
Deion SandersThe Dallas Cowboys defense is ignorant and lacks passion
The Dallas Cowboys defense is ignorant is ignorant. ... it's the type of players that's out there that's putting his pathetic effort up. ... it's no want is no passion is no desire is no Playmakers.
While the guys tried to push the Josh Allen MVP agenda on him, Deion was a bit more reserved. He’s a fan of the talent, but he isn't ready to put the Bills' signal-caller in that elite tier just yet.
Deion SandersJosh Allen is a bona fide baller but he is not a top five quarterback in the NFL
Josh Allen is not top 5 but Josh Allen is a bona fide baller. ... the kid is balling. He's leading. He's making plays.
Prime also gave his thoughts on the Colts, who smothered the Bears in a game that was essentially a three-hour sleep aid. While the defense is legit, Deion isn't buying them as a real threat to the heavyweights in the AFC.
Deion SandersThe Colts are a 'homecoming team' for the playoffs, not on the elite level of the Chiefs or Ravens
The Colts can win but they're not on that Elite level. They're like, they're like a homecoming team for the playoffs. That's what they are. They'll make it there, but there's just going to be a homecoming game in the playoffs.
The Josh Allen Redemption Tour
Speaking of the Bills, Josh Allen continues to be the most polarizing man in sports, except for the fact that the haters are running out of ammo. He’s making the throws, he’s taking the hits, and he’s winning games. The days of calling him a "project" are long gone.
Big CatJosh Allen's haters have been proven wrong and their arguments are done
I actually think Josh Allen haters are kind of there's kind of done. They've admitted that the wrong. Yeah, they're like gospel, you know, they actually haven't they're like little Locus.
Over in the NFC South, Teddy Bridgewater is quietly putting together a very solid season for a Panthers team that everyone left for dead once Christian McCaffrey went down. Big Cat realized it’s time to stop sleeping on Teddy Two-Gloves.
Big CatTeddy Bridgewater doesn't get enough credit and just wins games
I don't give Teddy Bridgewater enough credit. Teddy Bridgewater deserves more credit for being... now, you know getting a starting job for a rebuilding Panthers team... all he does is win and like I know they're only 2 and 2 but everyone thought... the Panthers were going to be one of the worst teams in the league.
NFC East Trash Heap
Between the Giants scoring roughly zero touchdowns and the Eagles winning the division by accidentally tying a game, the NFC East is a beautiful disaster. PFT is leaning into the chaos, knowing that the Washington Football Team is never truly out of it because no one else wants to win.
PFT CommenterWashington will be in the playoff hunt all season because the NFC East is so terrible
I still think they're gonna be in the hunt though. They're in the NFC East is so bad that you guys going to be in the hunt. No matter what your record is.
Meanwhile, the Texans have officially hit rock bottom. Losing to a winless Vikings team at home has stripped away any excuses about their early-season schedule being too difficult.
Big CatThe Texans 'officially stink' and it's not just due to a tough schedule
I think they officially stink. I don't think it's schedule fucked. I think they're just bad. That's a bad team. They just played an 0-3 Vikings team that was reeling at home and they lost... DeShaun Watson... is really good and then other times he's just, you know running for his life.
We wrapped up the show with a look at the NBA Finals where Jimmy Butler put the Heat on his back to avoid a sweep. While the effort was legendary, the guys are still looking at a short series for LeBron and the Lakers.
Big CatThe Lakers will win the NBA Finals in five games
I still think the heat will or the Lakers will probably win in five, but it was good the Jimmy Butler reminded everyone like it's not a fluke that the [Heat are] here.
If the Bears play another game like that Colts one, we might need a formal welfare check on Big Cat’s sanity.
