Recap
Big CatThe Houston Texans' defense won them the Wild Card game against the Chargers
That Texans defense, holy shit, did they bring it on Saturday? They were so goddamn good. And not only were they so good, I thought that game was decided by the fact that the Chargers came out like basically a perfect start... if the Texans defense doesn't play their balls off to start the game... that game could look totally different.
PFT CommenterThe Chargers' offense over-relied on Lad McConkey
I think the Chargers ran into an acute case of building their entire offense out of Lad McConkey. Lab McConkey had 197 yards. The other wide receivers had 45... They just couldn't do anything that wasn't Lad McConkey.
Big CatI'm buying all the Justin Herbert stock right now
I'll say this right now, and this isn't me defending Justin Herbert because he was terrible on Saturday. I will buy all the Justin Herbert stock right now... If you think that he's just like a terrible quarterback, that's fine. I still think he's pretty good.
HankThe Chiefs aren't as good as their 15-win record suggests
The Chiefs could lose this game [against the Texans]. They're not as good... They're not as good as their record says they are... if you stacked 'em up against the other teams that had similar records over the course of history, like they would be the worst one.
Big CatIt is time for the Steelers to move on from Mike Tomlin
I do think that it probably is time to move on to something different... There is a point though, where it feels like the message is getting lost and there isn't growth... Sometimes the message gets lost and you have to change something. You have to shake something up because it's actually almost like a curse to have Mike Tomlin as your coach still, because you're never bad enough to pick at the top of the draft to get a franchise quarterback.
PFT CommenterThe Steelers should trade two first-round picks for Sam Darnold
Two 18 overall picks or 17 overall picks for Sam Darnold. I think I might do that if the Vikings tag them... I think Arthur Smith can get something good outta Sam.
PFT CommenterKhalil Shakir is a top-tier wide receiver
I think we need to start respecting Khalil Shakir a little bit more. Because he is, I love him, he is a top tier wide receiver. He doesn't get talked about like he is because his name wasn't Stefon Diggs... but he can play.
Big CatJordan Love is a good quarterback but isn't on the Hall of Fame trajectory yet
I do think Jordan Love is like, I for everyone was like, oh, he is the next in line. Like, I, I don't, I don't see it. He's good. He's not... Rogers and Favre. I don't think that one of those three is like the other... I'm not like, holy shit, this guy's insane.
MaxI'd rather the Eagles play the Rams than the Vikings next week
If you had to tell me that I had to pick a team, I would, I would pick the Rams. We handled the Rams in that first game. Their defense could not stop at the run... and they would've to travel from LA to Philly in the cold.
Big CatThe Commanders have 'Team of Destiny' voodoo energy
The Commanders have the most voodoo and it's a good thing they just have like, I don't wanna say Team of Destiny, but I watching that game... they're gonna go down the field and they're gonna win this game with a walk off field goal. I said it to Jerry, I said it in my head.
PFT CommenterJaden Daniels is the best 'team' I've ever rooted for
I think Jaden Daniels is the best team I've ever rooted for in my life. He's a really good team... The moment's never too big for Jaden. Which is crazy to say as a rookie, but he is, he's going to be him.
Who Is Back
HankI'm back on the Patriots bandwagon because of the Mike Vrabel hire
My who's back of the week are the New England Patriots... they signed Mike Vrabel and they're back. They're, they're, they're on the path. The path of glory is back.
MemesMike Vrabel is a fraud who relied on Prime Derrick Henry
Mike Vrabel is proof that one smart clock management moment in a nationally televised game buys you five to 10 years of NFL media thinking you're a great coach... Prime Derrick Henry is not walking through the Patriots door... He was a Derrick Henry merchant.
Big CatThe NFL should not change the playoff format to strip division winners of home games
NFL might change the playoff format where division winners get an automatic entry but not necessarily home field in the first round. This would suck. NFL is what makes the NFL great. Winning your division should mean a lot. Don't overreact to one year.
