Deion Sanders on NFL Week 8, the Bears' Offensive Meltdown, and the Bills' Gauntlet
The Fastest Two Minutes and the Ben DiNucci Experience
Week 8 kicked off with a tribute to daylight savings and the terrifying realization that we are halfway through the NFL season. PFT and Big Cat delivered an elite Fastest 2 Minutes, featuring Jared Fogle Golf, Cookie Monster gobbling up yards in Green Bay, and the debut of the Ben DiNucci era in Philadelphia. Watching Gucci DiNucci try to throw a sidearm curveball on national television was a spiritual experience, but it led to an interesting theory from Big Cat about the Dallas defense.
The Cowboys' defense plays better when they have a backup quarterback like Ben DiNucci
It turns out that in a weird way is kind of good having a shitty quarterback playing because your defense gets this mindset of like we have to create turnovers, we have to stop everybody. Whereas before they're like, oh we got Dak, he's gonna throw for a million yards, I can take a couple plays off here.
The Browns are Graupel Proof and the Titans are Frauds
In a game played in something called "graupel"—a mix of sleet, hail, and pure misery—the Raiders managed to out-man the Browns in Cleveland. Despite the loss, Big Cat isn't jumping off the Cleveland bandwagon just yet. He’s looking at their upcoming schedule against the Texans, Eagles, and Jaguars and seeing a clear path to January.
I'm 90% sure the Cleveland Browns are going to make the playoffs
I'm pretty sure in part that the Cleveland Browns are going to make the playoffs. Yeah. No, I agree. I'm like, 90% sure that the Browns are going to be a playoff team this year and that's going to be a lot of fun.
Meanwhile, the Titans got absolutely whacked by Joe Burrow and a Bengals offensive line made of backup parts. PFT has officially seen enough of the Ryan Tannehill experiment to declare Tennessee a team built on a foundation of lies.
The Tennessee Titans are a fraudulent football team
I'm going to use the F-word on the Titans. I think the Titans where a fraudulent football... I think they're fun when they were five and oh I was saying I don't think they're real because Ryan Tannehill, we should always stick with our gut on Ryan Tannehill.
Belichick’s Masterclass and the Soft Packers
The Patriots lost their fourth straight game, but Big Cat and PFT are convinced that Bill Belichick actually did his best coaching work with a roster that is held together by Band-Aids and duct tape. They expect the media to spend the week praising a loss because of how close the game stayed.
The Patriots vs. Bills game was one of the best games Bill Belichick has ever coached
That's actually here's ready for this one. That's one of the best games Bill Belichick's ever coached you like that was a wonderful game... because their roster sucks so bad and the fact that they were within three points.
Up in Green Bay, the Packers fell victim to their annual daylight savings curse. Dalvin cook shredded them for four touchdowns, and the guys are starting to worry that this team is just too soft to win when the weather turns. They predict a familiar cycle of hope followed by a soul-crushing exit.
The Green Bay Packers have a soft defense
Aaron Rodgers playing great this year but similar to last year would you say the Packers might be a little a tad bit soft and say their defense might be a little soft... They are one of the last are going to just destroy some hearts they because they will get they're going to end up with a record like 12 and 4. Hmm. And Aaron Rodgers is going to be cooking at the end of the season. He's going to win a playoff game and he is going to break everybody's heart.
The Packers will finish 12-4 and win a playoff game just to break everyone's heart in January
The Packers are an excellent team to root for this year if you're really really trying to get your heart broken in early January. They are going to end up with a record like 12 and 4. And Aaron Rodgers is going to be cooking at the end of the season, he's going to win a playoff game, and he is going to break everybody's heart.
Lamar Jackson and the Fraudulent Ravens
The biggest game of the week saw the Steelers move to 7-0 while the Ravens struggled to move the ball through the air. Big Cat is doubling down on his stance that until Lamar can win a game with his arm against an elite defense, the Ravens cannot be taken seriously as Super Bowl contenders.
The Baltimore Ravens are frauds because Lamar Jackson can't throw consistently against elite teams
As I've thought from day one when I've started the Ravens are frauds and again, it's not that they're bad team. There are very very good team when I say the word fraud I'm doing it because because they have Championship aspirations... until I see it from Lamar Jackson in terms of passing the ball consistently... the NFL like to be in Upper Echelon team, you have to your quarterback has to be able to throw have that type of game.
Coach Prime joined the show to weigh in on the quarterback landscape. While everyone is falling in love with Justin Herbert’s arm and Drew Lock’s dancing, Deion is sticking with the veteran in the AFC West.
I would take Derek Carr over Justin Herbert or Drew Lock right now
Between those three quarterbacks... Derek Carr, Herbert and then Drew Lock. I'll take Carr because I know what I'm gonna get. I don't know what those other guys gonna do. I'll take Carr.
A Bears Funeral and Future Projections
The Bears game was a masterclass in pain. Between Javon Wims punching a man wearing a helmet and Matt Nagy’s baffling decision to run a hard count on 4th and 2 from his own 16-yard line, Big Cat is at his breaking point. He’s convinced Nagy is trying to be too smart for his own good.
Matt Nagy has an extremely low football IQ
I feel bad for Matt Nagy because in his head he was doing something insanely smart... So that is something that a smart person would do. So his idea of what a smart person is is so far from actually being what a smart person really is. That I don't think it's his fault. I think he's I think he's just got extremely low IQ.
With Nick Foles looking like he’s playing in slow motion, the guys are unironically calling for a return to the Mitchell Trubisky era just to see a quarterback move his legs again.
The Bears should go back to Mitchell Trubisky because Nick Foles isn't playing any better
I think they should go back to Mitch. Yes, because Mitch at least can use his feet. I don't think Nick Foles is playing right now, Nick Foles is not playing better than what Mitch Trubisky was. Plus if you keep switching quarterbacks, you keep getting that spark.
To wrap things up, Big Cat is already eyeing the NBA title for the Brooklyn Nets after they hired half of the 2005 Phoenix Suns to their coaching staff. It’s the ultimate "seven seconds or less" reunion.
The Brooklyn Nets are going to win the NBA Championship with their new coaching staff
The Nets are going to win the championship. How do they not? They signed Mike D'Antoni as an assistant, Amar'e Stoudemire. This also just has the makings of like a Hollywood movie ending where it's like these guys revolutionized basketball, they never won a title together and now they've won a title together.
Hopefully, the Bears find a way to score ten points before the 2021 season begins.
