NFL Week 7 Recap, Shohei's Historic Night, and a Louvre Heist
Week 7 in the NFL gave us a little bit of everything: London blowouts, historic comebacks, and the continued realization that the Chiefs might never lose again. Big Cat and PFT Commenter kicked things off with the Fastest 2 Minutes, featuring Matthew Stafford as a Ford Ford Ford enthusiast and Sean McVay as a man who has successfully hacked the concept of time zones. The guys also took a moment to reflect on the Jaguars' continued struggles overseas, specifically regarding Trevor Lawrence's inability to stay upright.
Big CatTrevor Lawrence is the most sackable quarterback in the NFL because his spin moves never work.
I think [Trevor Lawrence] is the most sackable quarterback we have... Trevor Lawrence I think is over for a hundred on spin moves that don't work. He like, he'll spin or try to sidestep and a guy will get one arm on him and he'll be sacked.
The Afternoon Slate and McVay's Masterclass
The Rams dismantled the Jaguars in London, and the conversation quickly turned to whether Sean McVay has simply figured out how to win with any combination of tight ends. Despite missing Puka Nacua, McVay rolled out 13 personnel on nearly half of his snaps, leaving the Jaguars defense looking completely lost. Big Cat is officially buying stock in the Rams as a legitimate threat to win it all.
Big CatThe Rams are officially Super Bowl contenders.
The Rams are for real, for real. They basically are in the, can we get everyone healthy for the playoffs? Can we be healthy when the playoffs come around? ... Matthew Stafford is still just as good as ever. ... Super Bowl contenders.
In Philadelphia, Jalen Hurts put on a clinic against the Vikings, but the real story was the continued descent of Carson Wentz into pure chaos. PFT admitted that watching Wentz crumble has become a more satisfying hobby than actually rooting for the Eagles to lose. The Vikings, meanwhile, seem to be in no rush to get their rookie quarterback back on the field, leading to some speculation about the true nature of the JJ McCarthy injury timeline.
PFT CommenterThe Vikings are intentionally delaying JJ McCarthy's return from injury to protect him from pressure and avoid admitting their mistake in not re-signing Sam Darnold.
My theory... was that they just don't want JJ McCarthy to feel like there's any pressure on him in case he has to in case he doesn't start out the season playing well. ... they're just really taking their time, bringing JJ back after playing. ... they don't have to face the fact that they didn't resign Sam Darnold until JJ McCarthy officially sucks.
Fortune Cookies and Fired Coaches
Jalen Hurts had a perfect passer rating, but his post-game press conference had Big Cat feeling like he was reading the back of a Panda Express slip. The "wise" quotes are starting to feel a bit too familiar for anyone who has watched the evolution of Russell Wilson.
Big CatJalen Hurts' motivational quotes sound like AI-generated fortune cookies and are early signs of him becoming like Russell Wilson.
Why does Jalen Hurts talk like he's a fortune cookie? ... He's an AI quote machine. ... I'm just wondering why he keeps handing me back a fortune cookie. ... these type of quotes are like some early, early signs of Russell Wilson. That's when you start seeing... uhoh is this Do we got a Russell Wilson in the locker room?
Over in Cleveland, the Dolphins were embarrassed by the Browns in a game that felt like a funeral for Mike McDaniel's current job security. The visual of McDaniel on the sideline in a rain poncho didn't help the optics, as PFT pointed out that he looked more like a domestic terrorist than a head coach in a must-win situation.
PFT CommenterMike McDaniel showing up to a must-win game looking like the Unibomber was a bad omen for his job security.
Would you say that showing up to the game that will most likely get you fired as the Unibomber is probably not the best luck, because that's what Mike McDaniel looked like. ... Unibomber didn't get caught for being, for being such a wanted guy.
Despite the current mess, the future in Cleveland actually looks surprisingly bright if you can look past the massive cap hit currently sitting on the bench.
PFT CommenterThe Browns will be a very good team in two years once they clear Deshaun Watson's contract.
I actually think that the Browns might be in a good position for the next, like two, two years from now. ... Deshaun Watson, I think has an $80 million cap hit that's about to kick in. ... I actually think two years from now, the Browns could be a very good team.
The Broncos' Messy Comeback and Shohei's Greatness
The Broncos and Giants played what was arguably the game of the day, featuring a 33-point fourth-quarter explosion from Bo Nicks and Denver. It was a Tim Tebow-esque performance that defied all logic and statistics, cementing the Broncos as the most volatile and entertaining team in the league right now.
Big CatThe Broncos are the 'messiest bitches' in the NFL, but they are incredibly fun to watch.
The Broncos are the messiest bitches we got in the NFL. But they're fun. They're so fun. ... They'll fuck you crazy and then they'll, they'll freak out about a text message and, and get in a fight with you at a bar for the entire night and ruin your entire night. ... That's the Broncos.
While the NFL was chaotic, nothing compared to what Shohei Ohtani did on Friday night. In a performance that truly broke the internet and baseball history, Shohei proved he is not only the best player in the world but perhaps the greatest athlete to ever walk the earth. Big Cat and PFT were in awe of the three-homer, 10-strikeout game, though Big Cat had a message for the fans complaining about the Dodgers' spending habits.
Big CatBaseball fans should blame their own cheap owners for not spending instead of being mad at the Dodgers.
We should be complaining about the Pirate's owner and the Red's owner and the, and the Rockies owner and all these owners that don't wanna spend a dollar. That's who should get the blame. Not the Dodgers. ... I'm done complaining about it. Blame your owner or not the Dodgers.
To wrap things up, the guys hit Who's Back of the Week, where Hank showed some unexpected admiration for the criminal element after a successful heist at the Louvre. Apparently, if you use a crane and a power tool to steal crown jewels in seven minutes, you earn the respect of the PMT crew.
HankI fully condone and respect the thieves who successfully pulled off a heist at the Louvre.
I condone robbing the Louvre. That's, that's, I got nothing but respect. ... It's good to know that like there's still thieves that are planning heists, especially at the Louvre and like making it happen.
Just remember, if the Cowboys beat the Broncos next week, we are all officially in trouble.
