NFL Week 7: Daniel Jones Has That Dog, Brady’s Bucs Stink, and Phillies Reach the World Series
Week 7 in the NFL belonged to the New York Football Giants, a sentence nobody expected to say in late October. Big Cat and PFT are marveling at Brian Daboll’s ability to win ugly games, as the Giants moved to 6-1 after a goal-line stand against the Jaguars. The biggest revelation, however, isn't just the coaching—it’s the quarterback who was once a punchline now playing like a franchise cornerstone.
PFT CommenterDaniel Jones has officially become 'the guy' for the Giants
He's definitely become the guy... He's got that dog in him officially now.
PFT is leading the charge on the G-Men hype train, refusing to let anyone ignore what’s happening in East Rutherford.
PFT CommenterThe New York Giants will make the playoffs
The New York Giants are gonna make the playoffs. They just are, they're going. It's hard. I want you to all prepare yourself for that moment because I don't want to sneak up on anybody. The New York Giants are gonna be playoff team.
The Sad Old Quarterback Club
While Daniel Jones is rising, the legends are cratering. Aaron Rodgers and the Packers lost their third straight game, this time to Taylor Heinicke and the Commanders. Big Cat points out that the dysfunction in Green Bay is reaching a breaking point because the team refuses to lean into their identity as a running team.
Big CatThe Packers are failing because they refuse to run an offense that fits their personnel
They have a roster set up to run the football and play defense and win games the ugly way. Yet they just refuse to run the football and use probably their best offensive player, not Aaron Rodgers, is Aaron Jones. They just don't use him... they're essentially running an offense that is not fit for their personnel and it just keeps failing.
It’s a similar story in Tampa Bay, where Tom Brady looked absolutely miserable losing 21-3 to a Panthers team that had just traded away its best player. Big Cat is officially out on the Bucs as a contender, noting that they didn't just lose to a bad team—they got bullied by them.
Big CatThe Buccaneers are officially a bad football team
The Bucs are a bad football team. They lose 21 to three to the Carolina Panthers, who everyone thought was the worst football team in the nfl... they not only beat 'em, they beat the shit out of 'em. The bucks are so broken.
Speaking of those Panthers, they might be the only team in the league trying to rebuild while accidentally winning games. Big Cat thinks they should be careful about who they ship out next, especially when it comes to their young core.
Big CatThe Panthers should not trade DJ Moore or Brian Burns
DJ Moore played well, caught a crazy touchdown pass and Brian Burns played well and he's like, The Panthers should not trade those two guys. I know there's been a lot of talk about it... You don't want to trade like your actually young, good talent because then you draft someone and there's like a 50% chance they suck.
Bengals are Back and the AFC South Slog
Joe Burrow and the Bengals looked like the 2021 version of themselves, absolutely torching the Falcons. PFT is ready to give Zach Taylor his flowers, even if his play-calling occasionally drives Bengals fans insane.
PFT CommenterZach Taylor is officially a very good head coach
I think it's safe to say the Bengals are officially a well-coached team... the body of evidence is big enough now on Zach Taylor where you can say he's a very good coach. He might fuck up occasionally game to game, but you're in good hands with Zach Taylor in the long term.
Meanwhile, the Titans continue to own the AFC South by playing 1950s football. They suffocated the Colts, and while Matt Ryan is a friend of the program, the performance was hard to watch. Big Cat isn't pulling any punches on the current state of Ryan's game.
New York, New York
While the Jets are flying high at 5-2 despite losing Breece Hall to an ACL injury, the other side of the stadium is in a full-blown crisis. The Yankees were swept by the Astros during the recording, leading to a massive celebration for Houston and a lot of soul-searching for Jake. Big Cat, never one to miss a chance to twist the knife, is officially calling out the Pinstripes.
Big CatThe Yankees are a bad franchise for their 13-year World Series drought
Congratulations the Red Sox, the Phillies, the Cubs and the Nationals have all gone to the World Series and the Yankees have not... That's a bad franchise. Imagine saying that... the Yankees have not [made it]. It's a bad franchise, poorly run franchise. Pinstripes don't mean anything anymore.
On the brighter side of the MLB playoffs, Max is on cloud nine as the Phillies are headed to the World Series. Bryce Harper’s legendary home run in the 8th inning of the NLCS clincher has seemingly ended every debate about his contract or his status as a big-game player.
Big CatBryce Harper has officially silenced all his critics
Bryce Harper... what he has done this playoffs and erased any negative Bryce Harper talk... he's been absolutely insane. I like that everything [Aaron] Judge isn't, Harper is. He was saying into the camera, 'I am that dude.' And it's like, yeah, you are.
The show wraps up with a look at the NBA's return and the blatant race for the bottom. Hank is keeping a close eye on the "tanking" efforts of several big-name franchises as they eye the French phenom Victor Wembanyama.
HankThe Sixers and Lakers are tanking for Victor Wembanyama
Tanking in the nba... there is a clear, clear, clear number. One Victor Wembanyama from France... so teams are tanking. The Sixers oh three trying to get 'em. Lakers oh three trying to get 'em.
Whether it's the Giants being good or the Lakers being terrible, October sports are officially in the "nothing makes sense" phase. Just the way we like it.
