Takes

Baker Mayfield should win NFL Comeback Player of the Year

He [Baker Mayfield] should win Comeback Player of the Year. Joe Flacco. I no disrespect to DeMar Hamlin, but why is he winning? He should not win Comeback Player of the Year.

DeMar Hamlin should not win NFL Comeback Player of the Year

I'll be the brave one and say, this guy shouldn't win the award... It is just a fact. He shouldn't win the award.

Antonio Pierce has earned the full-time head coaching job for the Raiders

I do think that Antonio Pierce has, has coached his way into being the full-time head coach. Agree. If they really wanna win this game, Mark Davis should announce before the game starts. Like you're giving away a scholarship like this, this Walk-on now has earned his position.

There isn't a single team in the NFL right now that can be fully trusted

I don't think there's a team you can trust right now in the NFL. You go down the list... I don't think there's one team that you can, you could say like, put my life on the line. They win this game.

Russell Wilson played himself out of a Hall of Fame career

We'll always have the danger witch. Yeah, he, he definitely played himself out of a hall of Fame career. Right. I don't know that, that's gonna be a tough one... Russell, Wilson is nowhere near top 10 now.

The Steelers will beat the Bengals in Week 16 because of their culture

This feels like to me and also no Jamar Chase for the Bengals and DJ reader, which will be very important in my opinion. This feels like the Mike Tomlin Steelers era is on the line. This is for the culture because it's, it's an underdog game at home. No one thinks the Steelers are good. They're very banged up and I think they're gonna win this game.

Bryce Young will win Offensive Player of the Week in Week 16

I think Bryce Young is gonna get offensive player of the week. Oh. Because the last two quarterbacks that the Packers have played against have done Offensive Player of the Week, baker Mayfield. And then the week before that Tommy Devito. Yeah. So, Bryce Young, next up Player of the week.

The NFC will win the Super Bowl

NFC will win the Super Bowl. ... Should just take the Niners to win the super Bowl even though it's a terrible lineup.

The NFL will eventually host a Super Bowl overseas

They are trying like damn hell to get a Super Bowl overseas and we have to stop it. So let's all not watch the first quarter next year of all these games.

The Vikings will beat the Bengals because Brian Flores' defense will confuse Jake Browning

I kind of like the Vikings in this game. And I like him because Brian Flores... is doing stuff that people can't even figure out with his defense zone. Blitzes just... he's doing a lot of multiples... I think that this is gonna be Jake Browning's first test. True test because the Colts and the Jaguars aren't great defenses. The Vikings have been playing like a great defense.

You must bet the Steelers to bounce back against the Colts after losing to the league's worst teams

The Steelers just lost to the Cardinals and the Patriots. Two of the worst four teams in the NFL. Mitch [Trubisky] looked really bad. The Steelers have looked really bad. You have to bet the Steelers. That's the vibe. The harder they bounce back.

Aaron Rodgers' injury is the most human thing ever, not a superhuman recovery

Aaron Rogers is not even human. I'd actually say missing the entire season because you got injured is the most human thing ever. Well, was he injured scenes? That was, I mean, he's literally showing that he's human. The fact that he hasn't been playing.

The report that the Patriots have decided to fire Bill Belichick is 'fake news'

As a Patriots fan on this podcast, I'm just gonna say that that seems like fake news to me. Seems like a fake news media report from Tom Curran. You know, the media's been out to get us since 2000... Belichick didn't do anything wrong... there's no chance. 0% chance. I don't think Belichick would leave.

The NFL wants the Chiefs to play on Wild Card weekend to maximize ratings from Taylor Swift fans

I think if the NFL wanted anything, they should want the Chiefs not to get the bye. 'cause that's one extra game of ratings for the Swifties Super Wild Card weekend.

Dolphins fans are insufferable and it would be funny to see them lose the AFC East

Dolphins fans are annoyingly cocky and Bills fans... I feel more of a connection to... Dolphins fans are insufferable. Like they're super annoying. They're super cocky. They haven't won shit. And seeing them blow a season and somehow lose the AFC East would be funny.

Every NFC South coach who doesn't win the division will be fired

Whoever wins the NFC South will not fire their coach going into next season. Agreed. Every other team will... I'm not saying that they should... we can say the entire NFC South is coaching for their job.

The 49ers will beat the Eagles this Sunday, but the Eagles will win the NFC Championship rematch

The Eagles have the defense... played 92 snaps on Sunday. That's a lot of snaps... I feel like the Niners have this game circled more than the Eagles can. And I think that like, this will be the NFC championship game in the Eagles will probably beat them in the NFC championship game. But I feel like this Sunday it's Niners.

Baker Mayfield was the best thing to ever happen to the Cleveland Browns.

Do you think people are coming around to the take that Baker Mayfield was the best thing that's ever happened to the Browns and they should never have let him go?

Josh Dobbs is the ultimate 'fix-it' quarterback for struggling NFL teams.

There are so many teams right now being like Josh Dobbs could fix all of our problems. If the Jets had Josh Dobbs, they would be a playoff team... he basically is the guy that everyone looks to and is like, he could solve everything.

The Miami Dolphins are officially off the NFL 'Fraud List'.

I think I'm ready to take Miami off the fraud list. They won't do it this week, but I'm gearing up for them to be off the fraud list because I'm thinking that their defense is gonna start playing really well... I'm ready to push the button and say no longer fraud.

Sam Howell is officially an elite NFL quarterback.

I might've just jumped past the whole Is he the guy conversation? I'm ready to ask if he's elite. Because there's as many insult graphics have been going around. There's a lot of complimentary graphics going around about Sam Howell. He's first in big time throws.

The Bears are no longer one of the 'truly terrible' teams in the NFL.

The bears are not as bad as people think they are. They are. They're [not] the worst teams in the league... which are the Panthers, the giants, maybe the Patriots, the Cardinals... I think the Bears are a step above that. They get lumped in there. They've actually been playing really good defense.

Israel Abanikanda is set to take over the Jets' backfield.

Izzy season? Izzy, the running back. They released Michael Carter and they're giving Izzy a shot. The bills can't stop the run... I'm gonna have to bet on him to score fucking a Memes.

You must bet on the Dolphins in the Germany game because of the Chiefs' late travel

I would love to bet the Chiefs, but the travel is so far in my head and we've seen it... the Chiefs are getting into Germany. Like right now they're practicing one time. They're practicing on Friday. One time McDaniel got the guys in there on like Monday or Tuesday... We bet the dolphins we're betting on the clock.

The NFL has finally figured out Travis Kelce

Has the NFL figured out Travis Kelce finally? Well, I think it's the, the NFL has finally figured out that the Chiefs might have some work in progress when it comes to wide receiver position.

Taylor Heineke will keep the Falcons starting job over Desmond Ridder

I think Heineke is gonna take this job. So if Heineke plays well then Arthur Smith will be like, well you know, we gotta ride. We gotta ride the hot hand for a little bit and then we'll go back to Ritter once Heineke starts stinking. But no, I think Heineke is gonna take this job.

Bill Belichick to the Commanders is a real possibility

Josh Harris wants a big splash. He wants a big name Coach Belichick probably at the end of his tenure in New England. Why not get him to dc? He can coach lacrosse at the Naval Academy. Annapolis is like 30 minutes from FedEx Field... I think these conversations are happening.

Bet on any team playing the Bears to win their division

I've told everyone, If, you want to If you like the Saints this week. Which you should. 'cause they'll beat the Bears. Bet 'em to win the, the, the division. Now's the time. It's a free win bet. Every team who play, every team who plays the Bears just bet that team to win the division. 'cause you know, you'll get at least better odds once they beat the Bears.

The Cowboys are frauds if they lose to the Eagles

I say if the Cowboys lose this game. Frauds. Yeah. We're we're, we're gonna call 'em frauds. Yep. If the Eagles lose this game and it's close, we're gonna say, should you take out the panic button?

Antonio Pierce will provide an immediate 'interim coach bounce' for the Raiders

I love the Raiders in this game. 'cause Antonio Pierce feels like it's the perfect interim head coach bounce... Antonio Pierce feels like it's the perfect interim head coach bounce except for the fact that the guy calling the plays now for the Raiders... is from the Adam Gase Coaching Tree.

The Los Angeles Rams actually stink and were overrated due to a lucky Week 1 win

I have a theory that I would like to throw out there. The Rams stink... Every year there's like one or two teams that have a great week one and it sticks in our head for a while. Maybe too long. The Rams beat the Seahawks week one... Since then... their two wins after the Seahawks week one win was against the colts in overtime... and the Cardinals.

You have to bet on the Packers against the Vikings because Minnesota is coming off a high

The Vikings just beat the Niners on Monday Night Football in front of the world. They're going to play at Lambeau against a very stinky Packers team. You have to bet the Packers.

I am betting the Patriots money line to beat the Dolphins

Are you gonna bid on Money Line? Yes. Have to.

Tyrod Taylor is a better quarterback than Daniel Jones

Tyrod Taylor is better than Daniel Jones. It's so crazy how much the giants fuck that up. Like you had Daniel Jones for four years and he was, what the, somewhere between like the 15th and 20th best quarterback.

Arthur Smith is a sneaky genius for limiting Bijan Robinson's touches to keep him fresh

Could Arthur Smith be a sneaky genius? Could he be saying we just spent a lot of money on this first round pick running back. Don't put too many miles on him early in the season. Bijan is gonna look that much faster late in the year.

Bryce Young will play well and the Panthers will win their first game against the Texans

I think Bryce Young's gonna look good today. I think the Panthers might win their first game of the season.

Trent Williams is the most important player on the 49ers offense

I think Trent Williams is [the most important player on the offense] for sure. Christian McCaffrey at 85% without Deebo Samuel and without Trent Williams... things look different.

Jared Goff is a top-five quarterback this season

I think Jared Goff has been playing... I think he's a top five quarterback in terms of this season.

Benching Desmond Ridder would mean the Falcons are giving up on the season

I think if you benched Desmond Ridder right now, it's, you're done, you're done over him... You're giving up.

Aiden O'Connell will be a future starting quarterback in the NFL

I have a take. I think Aiden O'Connell might be a future starting quarterback in the NFL... I saw him against the Chargers. He looked good.

Mac Jones will not make it through the Bills game without being benched

[Big Cat]: Do you think Mac Jones makes it through this game? [Hank]: No.

Sean Payton is intentionally tanking for Caleb Williams

Sean Payton is very clearly tanking this season... I think that the Broncos are intentionally tanking for Caleb Williams and it's maybe a smart move.

Julio Jones is currently 'Prime Julio Jones' again

I'm also fully back on Julio Jones... He's Prime Julio Jones... He said he is gonna dominate and if he says he's gonna dominate, then [I'm in].

The NFL London games have lost their allure and are now a burden

I'm kind of sick of the London game. I like the early football. I'm sick of the fact that they have made something that was unique and different into just every week. This is the third week in a row. They're just changing the schedule on us. Now it doesn't feel cool and unique, it just feels like a burden.

Devin Witherspoon will put the 'absolute clamps' on Ja'Marr Chase

I dreamt that [Devin] Witherspoon was going to put the absolute clamps on Ja'Marr Chase in the game. I dreamt a post-game press conference with Ja'Marr Chase being frustrated with him asking him if he was always open this game. I had the entire thing. So I'm betting the under on his receiving yards this week.

I am officially back in on Justin Fields as the guy for the Bears

The Bears might be back if they win this game. And I am all the way back into Justin Fields. I liken it to a relationship where, listen, Justin Fields threw some interceptions, I said some things... but at the end of the day, don't go to bed angry. So I'm no longer going to bed angry. He's the guy again.

David Tepper is a meddling owner who is hurting the Panthers

[David Tepper] basically in those two quotes was like, 'Yeah, this guy is putting his nose where it shouldn't be and micromanaging a football team.' And that's not how a successful organization runs. You can't have the owner forcing the coach to have a meeting multiple times a week. He sounds like a miserable person to work for.

Andy Reid will be considered the GOAT coach if he stays with Mahomes

I think that the 'Andy Reid is the greatest coach of all time' will eventually be a conversation if he stays in Kansas City. Because Bill Belichick without Tom Brady, his record has not been great. If [Reid] coaches for another eight years and you have Patrick Mahomes, that's like 12, 13 wins a year. That's a lot of wins. Andy's gonna go for Shula.

Brock Purdy is an MVP candidate

Should we be talking about Brock Purdy MVP Watch? If you look at his stats right now, Brock Purdy has MVP level stats right now. That's all I'm saying. He's the number one quarterback in the entire NFL in yards per attempt.

The Rams will finish with over 7.5 wins this season

I've launched a nuclear missile on the Rams season win total. It's over seven and a half right now... They've got two wins already. They play a lot of winnable games for the remainder of the year. It was minus one 14. It's my biggest bet of the season so far.
