NFL Week 9: Lamar Dethrones the Pats, Bears One-Yard Disaster, and Jameis Hall of Fame Hype
Week 9 is officially in the books, and we have a new landscape in the NFL. The Patriots are no longer undefeated, the 49ers are the last ones standing, and Lamar Jackson has officially ascended to a level of electric that has Cris Collinsworth’s heart rate reaching dangerous levels. While the Ravens looked like world-beaters, Big Cat is still looking at the long-term reality of a quarterback who takes that many hits.
Big CatLamar Jackson will eventually get injured due to his running style.
The only problem is [Lamar Jackson] is going to get hurt at some point. I mean, I hope that he doesn't, but eventually he will. Ravens fans will say, 'Well, he doesn't run like every other running quarterback ever.' [But] he's going to get hit... if you look at the history of the NFL, eventually he's gonna get tucked.
Hank, ever the loyal Patriot, wasn't ready to give the Ravens all the credit. In the Spin Zone, the loss was more about New England tripping over their own shoelaces than getting outplayed by a superior team.
HankThe Patriots beat themselves more than the Ravens beat them
I think the Ravens played a good game. I think Lamar Jackson is very good. But I think the Patriots beat themselves more than the Ravens beat them... turnovers will bounce their way, but it looks like the Patriots fucked themselves today with too many penalties and too many turnovers.
London was the site of the Gardner Minshew magic finally running out. After a four-turnover performance against the Texans, the mustache era in Jacksonville might be heading for a hiatus. Big Cat thinks the decision for Doug Marrone has been made for him.
Big CatThe Jaguars must start Nick Foles over Gardner Minshew
I think this is a no-brainer. You have to start Nick Foles. And that's not saying Gardner Minshew isn't a quarterback in the NFL going forward, but you have money invested in Nick Foles... Gardner Minshew basically made it so either he plays so well that it's a no-doubter or he shits the bed right before Nick Foles came back. And guess what? He shit the bed.
Over in Kansas City, the Chiefs managed a huge win with Matt Moore under center, proving that coaching actually matters in this league. While Kirk Cousins put up decent stats, he once again showed why he isn't the guy you want with the game on the line.
Big CatKirk Cousins is the quarterback you'd least want in the fourth quarter
If you had to ask yourself starting quarterbacks, who is the guy that you would at least want to have the ball in the fourth quarter to bring a team back to win? I actually think it's Kirk Cousins... He had the ball twice at the end of the game [against the Chiefs], three and out, three and out, and not even close.
Big Cat was quick to point out that Andy Reid is doing things with backup quarterbacks that shouldn't be possible, further cementing his legacy as an all-time great.
Big CatAndy Reid is one of the best coaches in NFL history.
Andy Reid deserves more credit for being one of the best coaches in the NFL, probably NFL history. I hope he wins the Super Bowl at some point because this is the 11th season where he's won a game with multiple quarterbacks. He made Matt Moore look good; this is a classic case of coaching matters.
The Chicago Bears Offensive Horror Show
The Bears gained one single passing yard in the first half against the Eagles. One. Yard. It was a historic level of incompetence that has Big Cat reaching for the Done Chain. Matt Nagy’s play-calling has become so conservative it’s actively sabotaging a top-tier defense.
Big CatMatt Nagy needs to stop calling plays for the Bears
Matt Nagy needs to stop calling football games. He needs to hand over the play calling. It's not for him. It's not working. I like everything is broken. It's not working to do the same thing week in week out is fucking insane.
There is no more silver lining for the Midway. The offense is broken, Mitchell Trubisky looks lost, and the season is effectively over.
Big CatI am officially putting the Bears on the 'Done Chain' for the 2019 season.
The Bears are dumpster fire. They're done. They're so done. Hashtag very done and chained everything, all of it. There's no coming back.
Jameis Winston: Future Hall of Famer?
In a shocking turn of events, Big Cat has been radicalized by a Jameis Winston truther. Despite the turnovers and the squinting at the Jumbotron, the advanced metrics suggest that Jameis might actually be one of the unluckiest quarterbacks to ever live.
Big CatJameis Winston is a future Hall of Famer.
I'm a Jameis believer now. I think Jameis is going to be a Hall of Fame quarterback. He has all the makings for it. He has a bunch of advanced statistics... [I'm convinced by the book] 'Jameis Winston Derangement Syndrome: How the media causes us to overlook the start of a Hall of Fame NFL career.' This guy has me convinced.
While Jameis is chasing greatness (and interceptions), Russell Wilson is busy being the best closer in the business. After a five-touchdown performance against the Bucs, the MVP race seems to be narrowing down to a very specific group of names.
Big CatRussell Wilson is the #1 quarterback you want in a 4th-quarter comeback
I think Russell Wilson is number one now in the NFL. He is the guy who, if you're down in the fourth, you want him to have the ball... He had five touchdowns today. I think that was his fifth comeback fourth-quarter comeback this season.
Dumpster Fires and Fake Football Guys
The Browns' season has officially devolved into a circus where the head coach looks like he's wearing a muumuu and the star quarterback is shaving three times a day to change the vibe. Freddie Kitchens appears to be in way over his head, and the discipline on the team has vanished.
Big CatThe Browns should fire Freddie Kitchens
Freddie Kitchens is an absolute joke of a head coach. What do you do if you're the Browns? Freddie's got to be one and done. He is in way over his head. You just need to demote him and tell him he still has his job and he's just the offensive coordinator.
Speaking of coaches in trouble, the guys are starting to question the "Football Guy" credentials of Matt Patricia. The pencil behind the ear and the grumpy demeanor haven't translated into a defense that can actually stop anyone.
Big CatMatt Patricia is a 'fake football guy' who just plays one on TV.
Matt Patricia has begun to strike me as a fake football guy. I think he idolizes football guys and aspires to be a football guy who hangs out around football... Basically Matt Patricia is like, 'I play a football guy on TV.' You have to have results to be a true bona fide football guy.
Finally, we checked in on UFC 244 where the BMF belt was decided by a "nerdy doctor" stopping the fight early. PFT wasn't happy with the outcome, especially considering Nate Diaz’s history of getting stronger as he gets bloodier.
PFT CommenterThe Nate Diaz vs. Jorge Masvidal fight was stopped too early
They called the fucking fight early... Nate Diaz is the type of guy that I actually like his chances the more he gets the shit kicked out of him in the first three rounds. It wakes him up a little bit. The little nerdy doctor was like, 'No, this guy can't fight,' where Nate Diaz was like, 'No, I have not yet begun to fight.'
If the Jets draft Tua and the Bears start throwing the ball to the other team on purpose, at least we'll have the memes.
