NFL Week 7 Recap, Deion Sanders on Players-Only Meetings, and Fastest 2 Minutes
Week 7 delivered one of the most chaotic Sunday Night Football games in recent memory, and it felt like the Seahawks and Cardinals should just play in prime time every single week. Between DK Metcalf chasing down Budda Baker like a heat-seeking missile and the overall absurdity of the game flow, Big Cat and PFT were left shell-shocked.
Big CatThe eyeball test tells me that DK Metcalf is the fastest human being to ever step foot on grass
DK Metcalf is the fastest human being alive... [PFT: He's very fast but he's not faster than Usain Bolt]. I think he might be. The eyeball test tells me that DK is the fastest human being to ever step foot on grass. It's terrifying how fast he is.
The game cemented the idea that Seattle is the only team in the league that can make a ten-point lead feel like a coin flip at any given moment.
Big CatThe Seahawks are the pinnacle team in the NFL right now because no matter the situation, things are going to get weird
The Seahawks are just insane... they are the pinnacle team in the NFL right now where no matter what the situation is, you're like, 'It's gonna get weird.' If they're up by ten, shit's going to get weird. They're down by 10, shit's going to get weird.
The Falcons are Artistes of Failure
While the Seahawks are chaos agents, the Atlanta Falcons are something else entirely. They managed to lose to the Lions because Todd Gurley accidentally scored a touchdown when he was trying to fall down. It was a masterclass in situational illiteracy that only this franchise could pull off.
Big CatThe Falcons genuinely invent new ways to lose a football game every single week
We have joked that the Falcons invent new ways to lose every single week. It is not a joke. The fact that they lost the game by Todd Gurley his momentum taking him into the end zone... It is incredible that they lost that way. If Todd Gurley just goes down, they win that game.
Big Cat was particularly offended by the analytics community trying to put a number on Atlanta's chances during the collapse. If you’ve watched a single Falcons game over the last three years, you know the math simply doesn't apply to them.
Big CatWin probability stats are bullshit and shouldn't be trusted
I think win probability is bullshit. Computers and robots will never beat us for this simple fact: They actually think that the Falcons have a 98% chance of winning a game that we know as human beings, that's not true. Computers don't do stereotypes... For the Falcons there should be a cap on it.
The Battle of Ohio and the AFC North Hierarchy
Baker Mayfield went from looking like he might be benched to completing 21 straight passes in a thriller against the Bengals. With Odell Beckham Jr. going down, the offense suddenly looked rhythmic, leading to the inevitable discussion about whether Baker is just better off spreading the ball around. On the other side of the ball, Joe Burrow continues to impress even while playing behind a revolving door of an offensive line.
Big CatJoe Burrow is officially 'the truth' at quarterback
Joe Burrow is the guy. I've upgraded him actually. He was 'that dude,' now he's 'the truth.' You have a guy who is the truth at quarterback... He's a good-looking dude, he's got the future.
In the bigger AFC picture, the Steelers remained undefeated by holding off a furious Titans comeback. While the game was close, Big Cat isn't ready to put Tennessee in the same category as the conference heavyweights just yet.
Big CatThe Titans are a tier below the Chiefs, Ravens, and Steelers
I still don't think the Titans are like top top level AFC. This is not—if we're putting it into two tiers, I'm not saying the Titans are bad. I'm saying there's a tier of Chiefs, Ravens, Steelers, and I think there's a step down to the Titans.
Deion Sanders on the State of the League
Coach Prime joined the show to break down the biggest dumpster fires of the week. He was particularly stunned by the Patriots' lack of effort against the 49ers and the Cowboys' continued defensive ineptitude. According to Deion, both locker rooms are reaching a breaking point where the coaches need to step out of the room.
Deion SandersThe Patriots and Cowboys both need immediate players-only meetings
The Cowboys did that [players only meeting] last week, they should have broke the glass because it is a case of emergency, and the Patriots should be doing it Monday morning. They should be doing it tomorrow because somebody needs to stand up and talk and take control.
He also weighed in on the Ezekiel Elliott situation, suggesting that the motivation might be waning for the star back now that the contract is signed and the team is struggling.
Deion SandersEzekiel Elliott probably lacks motivation now that he's been paid his massive contract
Ezekiel Elliott is... time feels about right for him to fake an injury. Well, he got paid. So he's just kind of hanging. If I were him and I got paid 90 million, I probably wouldn't want to go out there and absorb hits and concussions and break bones anymore. I'd rather just chill at home playing Xbox.
Quick Hits and Who's Back
The guys also touched on the World Series, where Clayton Kershaw is finally exorcising his postseason demons. Big Cat is ready to hand him the hardware if the Dodgers can close it out.
Big CatClayton Kershaw should be the World Series MVP
Clayton Kershaw World Series MVP, why not? I'm hoping that well—no, he's not going to pitch on Tuesday. I feel like they'll give it to him, right?
PFT celebrated the return of the 'Shadow Man' Greg Schiano, as Rutgers pulled off a massive win to open their season. The vibes in New Brunswick are officially at an all-time high.
PFT CommenterRutgers is officially back and will be bowl eligible this season
Rutgers is back. Rutgers got a big win. They are bowl eligible. I kind of told everyone... that was going to happen. I'm a believer in this 'shadow man' [Greg Schiano]... Rutgers will hit the season over.
Hank tried to maintain some optimism about the Patriots despite Cam Newton's 'foggy brain' performance, but even he sounded like a man who knows the dynasty might be taking a gap year.
HankThe Patriots will win three of their next four games and make the playoffs
We need to win two out of the next four games and you have the Bills, the Jets, the Ravens, and the Texans. You can do that. Yeah, three out of four of them, and we're back in the playoffs. I'm feeling great.
Maybe the Lions can actually make that Thanksgiving game interesting after all.
