NFL Week 9 Recap: Jets Statement Win, Vikings Fraud Watch, and World Series Reaction
Week 9 is officially in the books, and we might be living in an upside-down world. The Jets are actually good, the Packers are definitely dead, and the guys are staring down the barrel of some truly regrettable body art. It was a day where Fastest 2 Minutes felt like a funeral for Aaron Rodgers' season and a coronation for the New York defense.
The Jets Statement Win
The most shocking result of the weekend came from East Rutherford. The Jets didn't just fluke their way into a win over the Bills; they bullied them. Josh Allen looked human, and the Jets' defense looked like a unit that can carry a team deep into January. Big Cat is officially ready to push his chips into the middle of the table on Robert Saleh’s squad.
Big CatThe Jets are very much for real
The Jets get their statement win... if they can win one or even two of these three games against the Patriots, Bills, Patriots, they would have to be considered very much for real. I'm ready to consider them very much for real. Their defense is really, really fucking good.
While Zach Wilson managed the game without the usual "throwing the ball into the hands of the other team" antics, Billy Football spent most of the segment trying to explain away his previous Sam Ehlinger takes. The Jets are in second place in the AFC East, and for the first time in a decade, that actually means something.
The Kirk Cousins Tattoo Bet
Minnesota is 7-1, but you wouldn’t know it by listening to PFT. The Vikings' victory over the Commanders did nothing to convince the guys that this team is a legitimate contender. In fact, it only solidified the idea that they are the luckiest team in football history.
PFT CommenterThe Vikings are the worst 7-1 team of all time
I think [the Vikings] might be the worst seven and one team of all time... we know that the Vikings are a good team, we know they're fine, but like Kirk Cousins, it's gonna be very difficult for us to ever fully buy in.
To prove how much they don't believe in the purple and gold, a massive bet was laid on the table. If the Vikings actually pull this off and win the Super Bowl, the consequences for the hosts are permanent and horrifying.
PFT CommenterI will get Kirk Cousins' face tattooed on my ass if the Vikings win the Super Bowl
I'm gonna get Kirk Cousins' face tattoo on my ass if they win the Super Bowl... I will do the, I was wrong tattoo. If they get to the Super Bowl... I'll also convert to whatever denomination of Christianity Kirk Cousins is.
Justin Fields and the Chicago Renaissance
Despite a loss to the Dolphins, Big Cat is the happiest man in America. Justin Fields set a regular-season rushing record for a quarterback and finally looks like the franchise savior Chicago has been waiting for since the 1940s. He’s smiling, he’s elusive, and he’s making Big Cat actually enjoy watching Bears games.
Big CatJustin Fields is officially the guy
I'm still, I'm still in. Just like, [Fields] is the guy. He is the guy. He's making throws... he is everything I've ever wanted... I'm on cloud nine. I'm excited for Bears games.
Of course, Billy couldn't let Big Cat enjoy the moment. He tried to claim that the Fields experience is just a gimmick that won't hold up over the long term, leading to an immediate shutdown from the rest of the room.
Billy FootballJustin Fields' current usage is gimmicky and not sustainable in the NFL
Do you think that the usage of Justin Fields is gimmicky or sustainable?... the way he runs is not like Lamar Jackson. It's not as elusive... he takes more impacts. He's a larger body... down the stretch we saw [Cam Newton] wasn't sustainable.
The End of the Line for Coaches?
Between Frank Reich, Cliff Kingsbury, and Josh McDaniels, the hot seats are reaching a boiling point. The Colts' performance against the Patriots was an offensive disaster that should probably be investigated by the Hague. Big Cat thinks it's time for Jim Irsay to start handing out pink slips.
Big CatFrank Reich needs to be fired
Frank Reich needs to be fired. It's crazy that he fired the OC. He then benched Matt Ryan... everyone else is the problem except me... that was one of the worst offensive games. Everything about them is bad. They have to fire everyone.
While the Raiders are busy blowing 17-point leads on a weekly basis, the guys looked at the landscape of the league and realized we are likely headed for a mid-season firing spree.
Big CatJosh McDaniels, Cliff Kingsbury, or Frank Reich will be fired before the end of the season
Who gets fired first? There's actually three guys that can get fired at this point... It's Josh McDaniels, Cliff Kingsbury and Frank Reich. No way do all three of those guys make it to the end of the season.
World Series and Who’s Back
The Houston Astros are World Series champions, and Max is absolutely devastated. Between the Phillies losing and the Union dropping the MLS Cup on the same day, Philadelphia is the first city to lose two championships in 24 hours. Hank didn't miss the chance to remind Max that the Red Sox usually win these things.
Who’s Back of the Week featured LeBron James getting caught in yet another trivial lie, this time about his Migos fandom.
HankLeBron James is lying about when he started listening to Migos
LeBron today wore an outfit... a reporter asked him... he said 'I love Migos. I've been listening to them since I was in Miami in 2010.' The Migos didn't start putting music out until 2011 and they weren't really popular until 2013... just no reason to lie whatsoever.
From Billy's miraculously found wallet to the return of college basketball, it's a great time to be a sports fan, unless you're a Packers fan or Max.
