RG3 on Bears Debacle, Lions Psycho Win, and Week 14 Picks
Thursday Night Football gave us a clash between the Lions and Packers that felt like a playoff preview, mostly because Dan Campbell refuses to act like a normal human being. Between going for it on his own 30-yard line and a fourth-down gamble late in the fourth quarter that almost saw Jared Goff trip into disaster, Campbell is living life on the edge. Big Cat and PFT are convinced he's addicted to the adrenaline of nearly ruining his own 12-1 record.
Lions Rule the North
Despite the chaos, the Lions just keep finding ways to win, even with a defensive roster held together by duct tape and prayers. Big Cat isn't backing down from his belief that Detroit is the standard right now.
Big CatThe Lions are the best team in football right now
The Lions are the best team in football right now. And Max, here's what I should say. The Lions are going to lose another game, but it doesn't matter. They're so good.
The Packers are still in that dangerous "problem territory" where they could make a run, but they can't afford Jordan Love starting as slow as he did in the cold at Ford Field. Meanwhile, Max is spiraling about the Eagles' chances at the one seed because Detroit refuses to lose a game.
Week 14 Preview and Kirk’s Revenge
The Week 14 slate is a bit thin with six teams on a bye, but we have the Kirk Cousins Revenge Game as the Falcons head to Minnesota. While the Vikings look like a juggernaut under Kevin O'Connell, Big Cat is already looking toward the future of the Vikings' QB room.
Big CatJJ McCarthy will end up being the best quarterback from the 2024 draft class
JJ McCarthy's gonna end up being the best quarterback from that draft class. Well, that's just what's gonna end up happening after all this discussion. And that JJ McCarthy's somehow gonna be like the best player of all time.
Over in the AFC North, Mike Tomlin continues to be the coolest man in professional sports. Watching him on Hard Knocks eating chili cheese Fritos while plotting the downfall of his divisional rivals has Big Cat ready to run through a wall for the Steelers.
Big CatMike Tomlin is the best coach in the NFL right now
I love Mike Tomlin more than anyone I think in the NFL right now. It's crazy how awesome he is. He is just, he gets in front of a room and I, you just get pumped up. He's the best.
The guys also looked at the Raiders-Bucs matchup, mostly to marvel at Brock Bowers being the only functional part of the Las Vegas offense. He currently leads the NFL in receptions, which is absurd for a rookie tight end.
Big CatBrock Bowers is the best tight end in the NFL and should win Rookie of the Year
Brock Bowers is first in receptions. He's fourth in yards. I know that it will go to a quarterback. But Brock Bowers the best tight end in the NFL. He should win Rookie of the Year.
RG3 in Studio
Robert Griffin III spent the entire day in the office, and the first order of business was Big Cat eating a massive slice of humble pie. RG3 warned everyone before the draft that Caleb Williams was walking into a coaching disaster in Chicago, and Big Cat finally admitted he was wrong for defending the Bears' structure.
Robert Griffin IIICaleb Williams should have used his leverage to force the Bears to decide on Matt Eberflus before the draft
If you're a quarterback like Caleb, like Shadur coming out, and you have the power to tell a team, I need you to make a decision on your coach. All I was suggesting he do is say, I need to know what you're doing with the coach. So I don't come into a situation where the structure is bad. And now he's gonna be sitting there second head coach. Third offensive coordinator.
RG3 broke down why structure is everything for a young quarterback, citing his own experiences in Washington and Cleveland compared to the stability of Baltimore. When looking at who should lead the Bears next, Big Cat is worried the organization is too "meek" to hire a real leader.
Big CatThe Bears will not hire an alpha personality like Mike Vrabel because they are a 'meek' organization
Mike Vrabel would be a personality that they have not wanted in that building for a very long time, where they don't want an alpha who is like, this is my system. Correct. This is my program. Correct... George McCaskey is a meek man who does not like football.
They also cleared the air regarding a story Mike Silver told on the show a few weeks back. Silver claimed Dan Snyder once physically brushed past Kirk Cousins to check on a wounded RG3, but Robert set the record straight on what actually happened in that locker room.
Robert Griffin IIIThe Mike Silver story about Dan Snyder ignoring Kirk Cousins is 'fucking bullshit'
Mike Silver came on the show... and he told you this story about the Cleveland game. And it was a great game... and he told you a story about how Dan Snyder walked in the locker room and like damn near trucked Kirk to get to me and asked me if I was okay. That reminded me... it was a fucking over exaggeration of the story. Dan Snyder walked in the locker room... he didn't brush past Kirk Cousins. He walked to me... then he turned around and he congratulated Kirk Cousins on the job that he did.
Fyre Fest and Lottery Ball Drama
Fyre Fest of the week featured PFT’s $370 quest to find a deep-fryable Turkey, which resulted in two drumsticks, a pre-cooked bird, and a rotted carcass. Hank is also juggling five different fire fests, including the realization that the Nine Darter is physically impossible for him to complete right now.
The show ended with high drama as Memes tried to "opt out" of the lottery ball because he’s the only one who hasn't hit it yet. Hank and Big Cat quickly informed him that opting out of a show segment is essentially opting out of a paycheck.
HankOpting out of the lottery ball should be grounds for losing your job
If you Opt outta a lottery ball, you're opting outta the booth. Is that what you're doing? And then you might be opting outta your job. I don't understand this. Hank is the very definition of grace. You could complain, you could bitch... You can't Opt out.
Never let an Italian get too frustrated in a small glass booth.
