Fred Smoot on NFL Week 3, Pumpkin Hate, and the Bills' 3-0 Start
The Buffalo Bills are officially 3-0 after a Thursday night win where Tua Tagovailoa just couldn't stop throwing the ball to people in the wrong jersey. While the Dolphins showed more life than expected, Big Cat is starting to think the Bills are operating on a different level than everyone else in the AFC East right now.
Big CatThe Buffalo Bills are currently in a mode where they can casually beat teams by 10 points without playing perfectly
It does feel like the Bills are in that mode, that they don't have to play perfect. And they can still, they can still just kind of like casually beat you by 10 points.
Before diving into the Week 3 slate, the conversation took a sharp turn into cultural shifts. Big Cat made a bold declaration regarding physical preferences in the year 2025, noting that the pendulum has swung back toward the classics after a long run by the "ass boys."
Big CatI'm officially declaring that tits are back and the era of the 'ass boys' is over
I said, tits are back. I said, the, the ass, the the ass boys had their little run, but tits are all the way back. And people were like, bro, you're fucking 50 and you're talking about this, like, yeah. That's awesome.
Week 3 Picks and Preview
The board is loaded with backup quarterbacks this week, which led to a heavy discussion on whether certain guys are actually fixable. PFT is out on the Carson Wentz experience as he prepares to start for his sixth team in six years.
PFT CommenterI don't think Carson Wentz is fixable as a quarterback due to his extensive scar tissue
I'm not ready to say that about Cars. I don't, I don't think that Carson Wentz is fixable. Yeah. I think he's got too, too much scar tissue.
In the NFC East, Max is sweating the Eagles-Rams matchup, mostly because Saquon Barkley has historically treated the Rams' defense like a Pop Warner squad. Despite the offensive coordinator concerns in Philly, Big Cat pointed out that Jalen Hurts just finds ways to win regardless of the style points.
Big CatJalen Hurts is a winner who doesn't care about anything but the final result
Jalen Hurts in games that he has started and finished. He's 18 and oh in his last 18 games that he started and finished... The, the Eagles. And he doesn't give a fuck about how they just keep winning.
Looking at the early window, PFT is worried about the vibes in Tennessee. Between the penalties and the lack of identity, it feels like the Brian Callahan era might be over before it truly begins.
PFT CommenterTitans head coach Brian Callahan is destined to be another forgettable name in the franchise's coaching history
The Titans, they're starting the conversation regarding their head coach because he falls firmly into the Ken Whisenhunt, Mike Malarkey pantheon of kind of forgettable guys that have coached the Titans over the years.
Meanwhile, in Arizona, Kyler Murray is facing some heat for his social media presence. Big Cat isn't questioning the talent, but he is questioning the decision-making of a guy who thinks a Michael Vick jersey and a pitbull is a good look for a franchise QB.
Big CatKyler Murray's decision to post a photo with a pitbull and a Michael Vick jersey shows a lack of judgment
If your quarterback's making, if this is the judgment of your quarterback, that's a bad song. The decision making process is lacking.
Finally, the Bears and Cowboys meet in what Big Cat has dubbed a "Gateway Game." It’s the kind of matchup that determines if Chicago fans can actually start dreaming of a winning record or if they should start looking at mock drafts by October.
Big CatThe Bears-Cowboys matchup is a 'Gateway Game' that will define the rest of Chicago's season
This is a gateway game. If the Bears win this game... don't be shocked if the Bears are five and four or six and three... but if they don't win this game, none of this matters. They're own three and they just suck.
Fred Smoot in Studio
Friend of the program Fred Smoot joined the show to bring some much-needed energy to the commanders' fan base. He touched on the new ownership, the potential return to D.C., and why he thinks the team is finally in a Super Bowl window.
Fred SmootThe Commanders are legitimate Super Bowl contenders this season
No, we thinking Super Bowl. It's been generations since we could think Super Bowl and just to be in that window to think Super Bowl is a privilege... Congratulations to the team by the way. We moving back to the nation's capital.
Smoot also broke down his philosophy on DB celebrations, explaining the "DB Love Kiss" where a quarterback overthrows a receiver by ten yards and the corner acts like he just locked down Prime Deion. He also offered a vivid, if slightly unsettling, analogy for why people should stop falling in love with the Denver Broncos defense.
Fred SmootThe Denver Broncos are a beauty queen with a dead tooth in her mouth
The Broncos right now... a good analogy for this is a beauty queen with a dead tooth in her mouth. You walk up to her, she looking at you, then you start to talk to her and you be like, yeah, I see why now. See that dead tooth in your mouth? That had just killed everything I felt before I got here.
Outside of football, Smoot went on an all-time rant against the seasonal obsession with pumpkins. According to Fred, nobody actually likes them; we’re just being bullied by Big Pumpkin into drinking lattes that smell like candles.
Fred SmootPumpkins are useless food that only hippos and squirrels actually enjoy
I got a vendetta against everything pumpkin... nobody likes pumpkins, we're just forced to do a lot of stuff that we just forced to do as human beings... The only animal [that eats it] is the hippopotamus and squirrels.
Fyre Fest of the Week
It was a bad week to own a vehicle at PMT. Hank had his gym bag stolen out of his unlocked car, only to find a pair of sunglasses he lost a year ago in the process. PFT, however, took the biggest loss. He fell for the classic "parking lot dent repair" scam at a car wash, paying $250 to a guy who essentially just rubbed foam on his car and told him to wait for it to "set."
Memes rounded out the show by putting Lions DC Aaron Glenn on the hottest seat imaginable. If the Detroit defense can't handle a depleted Bucs offensive line, Memes is ready to call for heads.
MemesLions defensive coordinator Aaron Glenn should be fired if the defense gets embarrassed by a backup offensive line
I was saying if the defense gets embarrassed by an all backup offensive line... he should probably be [fired]. Must compete. I wanna see a competitive football team against a team that has 2% of their offense.
Good luck to everyone this weekend, except the guy who scammed PFT at the car wash.
