NFL Week 9 Recap: Josh Allen Shreds the Seahawks, Bears Are Broken, and Deion Sanders
NFL Week 9 is in the books, and it was a weekend that proved the NFC is essentially a giant house of cards. We started Sunday Night Football watching the Saints absolutely dismantle the Buccaneers in a game that felt like it should have been stopped by the referee. Tom Brady looked lost, the Saints looked like the best team in the conference, and Bruce Arians looked like he was wearing a flak jacket for reasons only he understands.
Big CatThe Bucs' blowout loss to the Saints was so bad they should just throw out the tape and move on
Is it better that the Bucs lost so bad that they can just throw this one out? You throw the tape out. Bruce Arians is not going to take this game seriously... he is going to hit the delete button on it. I'm also concerned just with his sideline appearance in general... it appears that Bruce Arians has a bomb strapped to his chest at all times.
The Josh Allen Statement Game
The biggest story of the early window was the Buffalo Bills treating the Seattle Seahawks' defense like a high school JV unit. Josh Allen didn't just play well; he outclassed Russell Wilson in every facet of the game. While the media has been desperate to give Wilson his first MVP vote, the performance gap between him and guys like Patrick Mahomes is starting to become impossible to ignore.
Big CatI wouldn't give Russell Wilson an MVP vote right now because Patrick Mahomes is better
Russell Wilson is not the MVP. Patrick Mahomes is starting to play incredible football. He's like so Patrick Mahomes is 25 touchdowns one interception... if I had to do the MVP voting right this second, I wouldn't give Russell Wilson an MVP vote.
It’s getting harder to defend the Seahawks as legitimate contenders when they are giving up 300-plus passing yards to almost every quarterback they face. PFT noted that without Russell Wilson playing hero ball every single snap, this team would look indistinguishable from the basement dwellers in the NFC East.
PFT CommenterIf you take Russell Wilson off the Seahawks, they would be the West Coast Dallas Cowboys
I think you can make the argument that because his defense is so bad that that is actually saying that Russell Wilson... is the most valuable player in that if you were to take him off of his team... they would be the West Coast Dallas Cowboys, right? Except way way way worse.
Big CatThe Seahawks are frauds because their defense cannot be trusted
The Seahawks who I think they're frauds. I think they are... they definitely are the biggest frauds. Your defense just can't can't be trusted whatsoever and I again I still think there are... they're not going to figure it out.
The Bears Are a Disgrace
Watching the Bears offense has become a form of psychological torture for Big Cat. At one point in the first half against the Titans, the team's leading rusher was Barkevious Mingo on a fake punt. The offensive line is a sieve, Nick Foles looks like he’s solving math equations while being chased by lions, and the play-calling from Matt Nagy has become completely predictable.
Big CatMatt Nagy has lost the locker room
I'm so sick of Matt Nagy. I'm so sick of the visor. I'm so sick of his fucking bald ass head... I think Matt Nagy has lost locker room. No you have, no, I think he has because when you whenever you have a situation where it's like one side of the ball is so much better than the other the defense is just like sitting in the locker room knowing... where these clowns doing?
With the season slipping away, the search for a new offensive identity is becoming desperate. Big Cat is already looking toward the future, eyeing the Panthers' offensive coordinator as the potential savior for whatever quarterback the Bears inevitably ruin next.
Big CatJoe Brady should be the next head coach of the Chicago Bears
Joe Brady should be the next coach of the Bears, please. ... He's a guy that's gonna wow somebody in an interview. Be like, 'I know this guy doesn't have the experience, but look at the track record where he's been.' He's an offensive genius.
Big CatThe Bears will not make the playoffs this year
In the last 10 years, there's been five teams and started five in one and not made the playoffs. I don't think the Bears going to make the playoffs this year. Let's be honest.
Deion Sanders on Locker Room Dynamics
Coach Prime joined the show to give his veteran perspective on the weekend's action. He didn't hold back on the Seahawks' defensive woes or the crumbling situation in Chicago. According to Deion, once a coach loses the trust of the millionaires in that locker room, there is no coming back from it. He also offered a spicy take on the rookie quarterback rankings, putting Justin Herbert ahead of the field for his ability to read the game.
Deion SandersThe Seahawks will not win the Super Bowl this year because of their terrible defense
They're horrible. ... There is no fix right now. That's an off-season fix. ... Until those corners or other persons on that defense have that kind of dog-eat-dog attitude, it's not going to be fixed. ... They're not going to win a Super Bowl, not with that. No, not this year.
Deion SandersJustin Herbert is a better quarterback than Joe Burrow because he reads the field better
Herbert would be [ranked above Burrow]. ... Herbert is showing me some things and he's reading the defense and he's seeing the game, to me, a lot better. He's more effective and efficient and he seems like he has a better grasp on everything.
Deion also checked in on the Ravens, noting that while they managed to pull out a tough win against the Colts, Lamar Jackson is being severely hampered by a lack of weapons. If the Ravens want to be more than a regular-season juggernaut, they need to find a true Alpha receiver.
Deion SandersThe Ravens need to get Lamar Jackson a legitimate number one wide receiver to succeed
I love Lamar, but he has to develop more. They need to develop him more in the passing game as well as they got to go into free agency and get him a real number one guy out there.
Around the League
The Dolphins are officially for real. Brian Flores has that team playing inspired football, and Tua Tagovailoa showed serious flashes of why he was a top pick. Meanwhile, Kliff Kingsbury made one of the most "chickenshit" coaching decisions of the year, electing to kick a late field goal instead of trusting Kyler Murray to pick up a yard and seal the game.
Big CatKliff Kingsbury coached chickenshit football by kicking a late field goal against Miami
Coach of the Year Kliff Kingsbury. What the fuck are you doing? What is Kliff Kingsbury doing that was chickenshit football... He kicks the field goal to try to tie the game and give the ball back to Tua who then could easily go back down the field and win the game... I don't know why the fuck he did that that was chickenshit football.
Big CatThe Dolphins are going to the playoffs
The Dolphins are going to the playoffs. The Dolphins are going to the playoffs. The Dolphins are a good team. They are a good football team... I have the Dolphins going 10 and six... they have graduated from feisty to just a good football team.
Then there are the Chargers. They found a way to lose on the final play again, confirming the "Arrow Paradox" that prevents them from ever actually crossing the finish line of a close game. It’s reached the point where you almost have to respect the consistency of the heartbreak.
Big CatThe Chargers will never win a close game; it's the arrow paradox
I don't understand it how they can do this every single week... It's the arrow Paradox... like an arrow will never get totally from me to you if I shot you with an arrow because it would have to travel half the distance to you... that's how the Chargers keep getting closer and closer to winning a close game and they never they're just never going to win a close game.
Who’s Back of the Week
To wrap things up, we looked ahead to a Fall Masters. Big Cat is fully convinced that Brooks Koepka is going to treat Augusta like his own personal playground now that his health is back and he has a legitimate rival to focus on. We also debated the merits of the "No Case" phone lifestyle, which Big Cat is sticking to despite his current phone being a shattered piece of metal and glass.
Big CatBrooks Koepka will dominate The Masters
My who's back is Brooks Koepka. Yeah Brooks Koepka is back. It's a major. He's gonna dominate I'm certain of it... Masters are here. He's locked in and for the first time in a long time, it looks like he has an actual rival.
Big CatYou are a pussy if you put a case on your phone
No case gang for life. You're a pussy if you put a case on your phone. No, my phone works... Every time I touch this phone metal on skin baby and every time I drop it, it's adrenaline coursing through my veins... I was no case gang for life.
If you see a guy in a visor staring blankly at a wall this week, just give him some space, he’s probably just a Bears fan.
