The Best Football Weekend Ever: Bills-Chiefs Classic, Rodgers Chokes, and Brady's Comeback Falls Short
The vibes in the gambling cave were at an all-time high after what might actually be the greatest weekend in the history of the NFL. Big Cat and PFT started the show buzzing, still trying to process a slate of games where every single one ended on the final play. It was life-affirming football that made every super wildcard weekend blowout worth it.
The Greatest Game Ever Played?
Chiefs-Bills was simply on another level. We watched two quarterbacks playing a different sport than the rest of the league. Josh Allen played a perfect game, Gabriel Davis had four touchdowns, and yet, they still lost. Big Cat felt for the city of Buffalo because this wasn't just a tough loss; it was a total gut-punch.
Big CatThe Bills' loss to the Chiefs is an 11/10 on the scale of heartbreaking losses
I feel absolutely heartbroken for the city of Buffalo. Like that is on a scale of one to 10 bad losses and heartbreaking losses. It's, it's an 11.
PFT agreed, noting that the Bills were likely going to be favored the rest of the way if they had just survived those final 13 seconds.
PFT CommenterThe Bills' loss to the Chiefs equals two Super Bowl losses for Buffalo fans
I think tonight's loss probably equals two Super Bowl losses for the Buffalo faithful that has lived through it all because this team I think was... they were definitely going to be favored next week. Probably would have been favored in the Super Bowl against either one of those.
Speaking of those 13 seconds, the guys couldn't believe the Bills didn't squib the kick, but they also acknowledged that Patrick Mahomes is just the grim reaper. PFT has a theory on the only way to actually neutralize the Chiefs' superstar.
PFT CommenterThe only way to stop Patrick Mahomes is to install Kliff Kingsbury as his head coach
The only thing you can do to stop Patrick Mahomes is install Kliff Kingsbury as his head coach. He's the only person that's been able to bottle them up.
As the conversation shifted to the coin toss and the inevitable debate over overtime rules, Big Cat had a simple fix that the NFL refuses to implement for the sake of the fans.
Big CatThe NFL should change overtime rules for the playoffs to mirror college overtime
The NFL just doesn't do it. Just make that the overtime rule for playoffs. No one gives a fuck if in week three, the Steelers and like that Tim Boyle didn't get the ball. You know what I mean? Like they care about these type of games when Josh Allen doesn't get the ball.
Josh Allen vs. The World
Even in a loss, Josh Allen cemented himself as a tier-one superstar. Big Cat noted that watching him run over defenders made him look like a evolved version of a certain former Panthers MVP.
Big CatJosh Allen is an even better version of 2015 Cam Newton
It felt like an even better version of 2015 Cam Newton where like he will pass it over everyone. He will throw a bomb to Gabriel Davis. Oh. And then when he wants to run the ball, he literally hurt their defensive players. He ran over one of their defensive players.
The future in Buffalo is still bright, even if it doesn't feel like it right now.
Big CatJosh Allen will be awesome for the next decade and Bills fans should find solace in that
Josh Allen is 25 years old and you have him for the next decade and he's already locked up on his first longterm deals extension. He's going to be awesome for a long time. And you just got to go to sleep knowing that.
The End of the Rodgers Era in Green Bay?
Moving to Saturday night, the 49ers stunned the Packers at a snowy Lambeau Field. While the Packers' special teams were a disaster, Big Cat put the blame squarely on the MVP. He felt Aaron Rodgers reverted to a version of himself that looked a lot like the guy he replaced years ago.
Big CatAaron Rodgers has become the reincarnation of late-career Brett Favre
Aaron Rodgers has become what he replaced in old. Brett Favre was the same guy. He was that guy at the end of his career. He'd only trust Donald Driver... We saw Brett Favre reincarnated in Aaron Rodgers. It's crazy. And I loved every second.
Rodgers spent the whole night locked onto Davante Adams, ignoring wide-open receivers like Allen Lazard when it mattered most. It was hero ball at its worst, and the guys think this might be the end of the road for him in Green Bay. PFT thinks there might have been a plan in place all along.
PFT CommenterAaron Rodgers and the Packers had a 'wink-wink' agreement to trade him after the 2021 season
I think the deal was come back for this year, and then we'll find a place to trade you. And like almost a wink, wink agreement. We'll find a place to trade you in the off season.
Hank couldn't help but point out a devastating stat that puts the Rodgers vs. Brady debate into perspective, much to Big Cat's delight.
HankTom Brady has as many NFC playoff wins as Aaron Rodgers
Tom Brady... has just as many NFC playoff wins [as Aaron Rodgers].
Tannehill’s Ceiling and Cincinnati’s Mojo
In Nashville, the Bengals proved they belong by surviving nine sacks and a physical Titans team. While Joe Burrow was cool as ice, Ryan Tannehill looked exactly like the guy PFT has been calling mediocre for years. Big Cat is officially out on the Tannehill experience.
Big CatI am never betting on Ryan Tannehill in a playoff game again
Ryan Tannehill. I will like do never, ever let me bet on him again in a playoff game. You have to take my phone. You have to put me in a mental ward. Never ever let me do that.
Big CatYou cannot win a Super Bowl with Ryan Tannehill as your quarterback
I don't know what the Titans are going to do going forward because it does feel like you probably, you can't win a super bowl with Ryan Tannehill, can you?
On the other side, the Bengals found a gem in Evan "Money" McPherson. PFT thinks the kicker has already ascended to the elite tier of the league.
PFT CommenterEvan McPherson is already the second-best kicker in the NFL
I think we can say Evan McPherson already the second best kicker in the NFL... People are like, why would you ever draft a kicker? You draft a kicker because he's Evan McPherson and he's Zack like right now, in retrospect, if you were to say, how, what would you spend on Justin Tucker right now? Would you use a first round pick on him? Yeah, you probably would.
Despite the Bengals' magic, PFT isn't ready to buy into them actually taking down the Chiefs in Arrowhead just yet.
PFT CommenterThe Bengals have no chance of beating the Chiefs in the AFC Championship
I don't think that the Bengals have a chance in hell of beating the Chiefs with these two teams. Bengals are two years away from even being able to compete against the Chiefs. There's no chance that a team like the Bengals could go up against the Chiefs and outscore them clubs. 0% clip chance.
The Computer Simulation Ends for Brady
The Rams almost pulled an all-time choke against the Bucs, but Matt Stafford saved them with a massive throw to Cooper Kupp. It felt like a Madden simulation where the computer was determined to let Tom Brady win, but the Rams finally broke the script. Big Cat is ready to start the Hall of Fame jacket fitting for Stafford if he finishes the job.
Big CatMatt Stafford will be a Hall of Famer if he reaches the Super Bowl this year
I have the tape that I've been squatting on for like four years. Now that he's a hall of Famer. I remember I got to go find that tweaks people thought I was crazy, but I said, if he can get you an FC championship game or later you will probably have enough... this will be his deep playoff run.
We wrap up with a massive "Who's Back" involving parent texts, Duke basketball hate, and Big Cat’s war on replay.
If you see a Bills fan today, just give them a hug and tell them it's not their fault.
