Pat Bev in Studio, Cowboys are Dead, and the Jets Hit Rock Bottom
The Dallas Cowboys are officially in the grave, and Big Cat isn't just ready to bury them; he’s ready to stop seeing them on his television screen altogether. Between the roof falling off at AT&T Stadium and the offense looking like a high school JV squad, the Cowboys have become a weekly chore for NFL fans. Big Cat is fed up with the scheduling gods protecting them from being flexed out of primetime.
Big CatThe Dallas Cowboys are deader than dead and shouldn't be on primetime television
The Dallas Cowboys are deader than dead. It was already dead, but now it's really, really dead. And they're pathetic and they shouldn't be on tv, but, oh wait, we still have them on Monday Night Football that they can't flex because there's a Simpsons broadcast.
PFT wonders why Jerry Jones continues to trot out Cooper Rush when there's a former first-round pick sitting on the bench. If the season is over and the building is literally crumbling, there’s no reason not to see if Trey Lance has a pulse.
PFT CommenterThe Dallas Cowboys should start Trey Lance for the rest of the season
Why don't they start Trey Lance? It's, he's not Cooper Rush. Right. But he's probably not good, but why not at this point? I think you, I think you gotta be at least like there's a level of competency that maybe he hasn't achieved, I guess. But I mean, you traded a draft pick for him.
While the Cowboys are rotting, the Houston Texans took care of business, though Big Cat remains unconvinced they belong at the big kids' table in the AFC. He sees a clear gap between the elite contenders and a second tier where Houston currently resides.
Big CatThe Houston Texans are in the second tier of the AFC and aren't good enough to beat the top teams
I think the Texans are still in that second tier in the AFC where they could maybe win a playoff game. I just don't know. I feel like they just don't have enough against a Bills, Ravens, Steelers, Chiefs.
The Jets' Never-Ending Nightmare
Just when you thought the Jets couldn’t get any more dysfunctional, they fired GM Joe Douglas in the middle of a lost season. Memes is going through it, especially with reports surfacing that Woody Johnson wanted to bench Aaron Rodgers back in September. Big Cat has a theory that Rodgers’ failure in New York boils down to his injury stealing the one thing that makes him elite.
Big CatAaron Rodgers failed with the Jets because his injury took away his 'chip on his shoulder' season
The biggest reason that Aaron Rodgers didn't work in the Jets is because the Achilles took away his chip on his shoulder year. Yeah. The guy is great when he has a chip on his shoulder. He had it from Green Bay. He got hurt, couldn't play the chip on the shoulder goes away.
With the season in the dumpster, Memes is already looking at next year's roster and coaching staff. He’s dreaming of a scenario that involves a coaching powerhouse and a cross-town move for their quarterback.
MemesAaron Rodgers will sign with the New York Giants next season
I think, I think he might walk across to the other locker room. The Giants. He loves New York. They improve their old line. They have some receivers. Their defensive line is good. He doesn't have to move.
MemesThe Jets should hire Mike Vrabel as head coach and Kevin Stefanski as offensive coordinator
The best scenario was Mike Vrabel [as] coach. Kevin Stefanski gets fired from the Browns, he becomes the OC. Okay. You bring in Jameis [Winston] as the bridge... And then Super Bowl.
College Football Chaos and Indiana Disrespect
College Football Talk hit a fever pitch as the latest rankings dropped. Big Cat is leading the charge for Indiana, claiming there is a coordinated hit by the SEC and Greg Sankey to diminish what the Hoosiers have accomplished. He wants to see them play the game against Ohio State before the media decides they don't belong.
Big CatThere was a coordinated media hit against Indiana Football orchestrated by Greg Sankey
Greg Sankey made a call to all of media on Monday and had everyone in the media bash them when they have their big game coming up against Ohio State. And that makes no sense to me. Indiana has not played anyone. Indiana's an awesome story. Indiana's an underdog story. I'm rooting for Indiana.
PFT, meanwhile, is looking at the top of the board and sees one team as the clear alpha, even if they have a stumble on their resume. He also pointed out how the new playoff format has essentially rewarded teams for being cautious with their schedules.
PFT CommenterGeorgia is the best team in the college football country
I think Georgia at their best beats any team at their best. I think Georgia at their worst also beats any team at their worst. Like the floor for Georgia is higher than any other team's floor. And I think that Georgia, like medium Georgia probably beats everybody at their medium except for maybe Alabama.
PFT CommenterThe 12-team playoff allows cowards to get in by scheduling easy non-conference games
There's really no need to schedule a tough out of conference schedule with a 12 team playoff... the coward's way out is working right now. You're banking on the opportunity to get kicked out by your one tough loss that you have and then spending the time getting mad at the committee.
Pat Bev In Studio
Pat Bev joined Big Cat and PFT in person after his first few months playing in Israel. He’s still the same Pat Bev, just with more offensive production and fewer technical fouls. He gave some incredible insight into the difference between the NBA and international ball, specifically how big men can just live in the paint without defensive three-second calls.
He also weighed in on the current state of the NBA and why coaching isn't about the chalkboard.
Pat BevCoaching is purely about how hard your players will play for you, not X's and O's
It's all about how hard can your players play for you... You can be a coach that has zero X's and O's, but you had your team run through a motherfucking wall from you. That's half the battle right there. And that's all coaching is.
When the conversation turned to the best player on the planet, Pat Bev didn't hesitate. He broke down the subtle brilliance of Nikola Jokic, focusing on his "feel" for the ball rather than just his passing highlights.
Pat BevNikola Jokic is the best player in the NBA right now
Who is the best player in the NBA right now? [Jokic]. Yeah. He is. [Jokic]. I honestly think it's his feeling for the ball. Right. I know a ton of motherfuckers that can pass, but like a one second pass is worse than a 0.3 pass... His feel for the game, his feel for the ball I think is one of his best attributes.
Hot Seat/Cool Throne
Hot Seat/Cool Throne featured the Sixers in absolute disarray after Tyrese Maxey called out Joel Embiid in a team meeting. PFT has gone full detective, connecting the dots on a potential leak within the organization based on some very specific vocabulary.
PFT CommenterNick Nurse leaked the 76ers team meeting details because of his obsession with the phrase 'elephant in the room'
Tyrese loves the big fella, but this is the elephant in the room. A person involved in the meeting told ESPN... Nick Nurse is very fond of using the phrase elephant in the room. And he's done it at least three times. Nick Nurse loves the phrase elephant in the room. He had a fucking elephant on his desk.
Despite the drama, Max is still holding onto hope that Philadelphia can turn it around before the holiday season. He’s set a benchmark for the team that seems ambitious given their current two-win standing.
MaxThe Philadelphia 76ers will reach 10 wins by Christmas Day
10 wins. 10 wins. Gotta get 10 wins by Christmas. I think you gotta get to 10 wins... eight and five's not that hard. Can find eight wins. 10 wins. 10 wins. Gotta get 10 wins by Christmas.
To wrap things up, PFT dropped a stat that should make every Cowboys fan want to crawl into a hole and stay there until 2025.
PFT CommenterGreg Berhalter has more wins at AT&T Stadium this year than Mike McCarthy and the Cowboys
Greg Berhalter, the fired coach [of USMNT], has more wins in AT&T Stadium this year than Mike McCarthy... than the Cowboys in Dallas.
If Jerry Jones wants to win at home, he might need to hire a soccer coach.
