Week 14 Recap, Jameis Winston's Masterpiece, and the Hottest Titans
Week 14 is in the books and it was a weekend defined by sheer chaos, a banana duct-taped to a wall selling for six figures, and Jameis Winston putting up a stat line that belongs in the Louvre. Big Cat and PFT Commenter kicked things off with the Fastest 2 Minutes, featuring PFT’s legendary wordplay about Lamar Jackson’s witchcraft and the Redskins getting killed softly by Matt "Live Love Laugh" LaFleur. Hank is in a terrible mood after a brutal gambling week, but the energy remains high as the playoff picture finally starts to take some real shape.
The NFC Heavyweights Throw Down
The game of the year took place in the Superdome, where the 49ers and Saints decided that defense was merely a suggestion. It was a snowball game from the jump, but the story was George Kittle turning into a human wrecking ball. Seeing him get his face mask nearly ripped off while dragging three defenders down the field for a 39-yard gain on fourth down was pure football bliss.
Big CatGeorge Kittle is like an angry bull that is impossible to tackle
Shout out our guy George Kittle. Big-time players make big-time plays. Him getting just ripped to shreds by his face mask and still running down the field. He was like an angry bull unlike the PBR tour... he knows where he has to end up and he's going to fight every guy to get there.
This wasn't just a high-scoring thriller; it felt like a shift in the NFC hierarchy. After the 49ers survived a brutal stretch of road games against Baltimore and New Orleans, Big Cat is ready to crown them as the real deal in a way that regular-season records don't always capture.
Big CatThe 49ers win over the Saints is the 'are we for real' statement win of the season
This is a statement. This is the you look for these wins when you're the one seed or the two seed and you're like are we for real? These type of wins are the 'are we for real' wins. And this is the one.
Meanwhile, the Packers continued their trend of winning ugly against the Redskins. Despite being 10-3, PFT is starting to see some cracks in the armor of his "shares" in Green Bay. The offense disappears for entire quarters, and it took a struggle against a hobbled Dwayne Haskins to bring some reality to the situation.
PFT CommenterThe Packers are a little bit fraudulent
I feel I feel like the Packers are a little bit fraudulent. Oh, welcome to yes the right side of History SHINee. It took only beating the Redskins by five points for me to realize that. Hey, maybe they're not that great of a football team this year.
The Jameis Winston Experience
We may never see another quarterback like Jameis Winston. He threw for over 450 yards, four touchdowns, and three interceptions—all while playing with a broken thumb. It was a performance that combined brilliance and disaster in a way only he can. Big Cat noted the striking similarities between Jameis and a certain Steelers legend who also enjoys a bit of chaos.
Big CatJameis Winston is the Big Ben heir apparent
I think Jameis Winston Is Our Big Ben Heir Apparent... off sketchy off-field stuff. They have the classic like they're never fully down on the on the field... There's so many plays were Jameis Winston has six guys around him and then he just kind of emerges from it... he is the funniest quarterback of ever want.
Speaking of Florida teams, the Dolphins tried to win a game by only kicking field goals, and Brian Flores was visibly livid about a late pass interference overturn. On the other side of the league, the Jaguars have officially checked out. After getting bullied by the Chargers, it’s clear Doug Marrone’s squad has no interest in fighting through December.
Big CatThe Jaguars have 100% quit
The Jaguars have quit fully hundred percent quit because you can tell when a team quits when they just give up so many running like big run plays and and screens... That's acquiescence in the quit.
The Titans are On Fire and the Raiders are Leaving
Ryan Tannehill is 6-1 as a starter, and Derrick Henry is basically a tractor that runs on souls in December. The Titans are the hottest team in the NFL, and Big Cat thinks their upcoming game against the Texans is the pivot point for the entire division.
Big CatThe Titans will win the AFC South if they beat the Texans next week
I think if they beat the Texans on Sunday... they're going to win the AFC South. Okay, if they win this game... because the Titans have the distinct feel of a team that fully believes they're not only good but maybe even better than they are.
Next week also marks the final game in the Black Hole, and the guys are rightfully pissed off that the NFL didn't flex it into prime time. We deserved to see fans in gorilla suits and beer bongs out of prosthetic legs one last time under the lights.
Big CatThe NFL committed a travesty by not scheduling the Raiders' final Oakland game in prime time
The NFL has done us an injustice... The last game in the Black Hole is next Sunday. It should have been flexed. We should have had this on Saturday night. I want my feelings to be said out loud that this is a travesty that we don't get one final night game in Oakland in prime time for the nation to watch.
College Football Playoff and Football Guys
With the CFP field set, Big Cat is mourning another Wisconsin loss to Ohio State, even if they are Rose Bowl bound. The focus now shifts to Joe Burrow, who has the kind of swagger that makes everyone in the room want to run through a brick wall for him.
Big CatJoe Burrow's body language and leadership make you want to go to war for him
Joe Burrow is—forget all the on-field how good he is and forget all the measurables—his body language makes me want to go to war for him. It's crazy. I have not seen someone who has like a natural leader ability that just oozes off of him. He has that look where you're like, 'I just like tell me who to fight, I got it.'
Looking ahead to the actual games, the prediction is a clash of the titans in the championship. PFT and Big Cat are aligned on who they think will survive the semifinals.
Big CatLSU and Clemson will meet in the National Championship game
I actually think it's gonna be LSU Clemson in the final... yeah I'm going to agree I mean this might take a loan out.
Finally, the coaching carousel is spinning, and Lane Kiffin is officially back in the SEC at Ole Miss. He’s already got his kids chanting "SEC," but the guys are already looking at where the Lane Train stops next.
Big CatLane Kiffin will eventually coach at Alabama
He is he's gonna end up being like the coach of, Alabama... This is it feels like this is his second to last spot... he's very clearly looking at something else and I think that something else is Alabama.
If the NFL stays this weird, we might actually see a 7-9 team win a playoff game.
