Takes

Mike McDaniel should be fired after the Dolphins' horrific loss to the Ravens

And Mike McDaniel you fired... it looked bad... they're just the most bad vibes team out there.

The Ravens are going to win the AFC North

And the Ravens are, they're gonna win the AFC North. We should congratulate them. They're gonna win the AFC North.

The Bears vs. Bengals game is a 'must look good' game for the Chicago offense

This is a must look good on offense game. The Bears offense has not, has been up and down this year... If you can't light up the Bengals defense, then I'm gonna start having some doubts creep in.

The Patriots will blow out the Falcons

I'm going blowout... I'll do nine and a half... Gillette's gonna be rocking... I think it's gonna be a blowout.

The Colts are the best team in football right now

The Colts who are the best team in football... Their offense is absolutely electric. They are like, they're just well-rounded all the way through.

Shane Steichen is the frontrunner for NFL Coach of the Year

Shane Steichen feels like maybe Coach of the Year. Right? And I don't really like, the Colts are just really, really good.

The Colts have a precision offense that dictates games under Daniel Jones

I see precision, I see design, I see, I see an attack that I just haven't seen in a while... Daniel Jones, like he knows exactly what he is looking at.

Caleb Williams struggles with fundamental accuracy on simple 'layup' throws

But I just feel like he still missing balls where it's bouncing in the dirt or it's sailing over somebody's head... Caleb's just gonna react and he's gonna try to make something special happen... But he just misses layups sometimes.

The Chiefs and Eagles will meet in the Super Bowl

I think Kansas City's gonna be back... I think Philadelphia is gonna get on a roll... Philadelphia, Kansas City could repeat and get back there again.

Jackson Smith-Njigba is unstoppable as a go-to receiver for the Seahawks

I haven't seen anybody cover Jackson Smith-Njigba... that guy looks unstoppable to me... If you got a go-to guy, go to 'em.

Terry McLaurin might be having financial problems because of a house lien

Did you guys see that there was a report that Terry McLaurin had a lien out on his house? ... I would say that there might be more to this story that's coming out. If you give 23 year olds $10 million, guess what? They're probably not gonna have $10 million when they're 30.

The Chiefs are definitely going to win the Super Bowl

Mahomes is back to being full on Mahomes... they're just really, really good. They're, they're, they're gonna win the Super Bowl. They, they're not, and I wanna clarify... the Chiefs are gonna win the Super Bowl. These are, these are facts.

The Colts are currently the best team in football

The Colts are the best team in football right now. The Chiefs are gonna win the Super Bowl. Those two things can exist.

If the Commanders lose this Sunday, the wheels are falling off the season

Sunday is where it has to start. I think Jayden [Daniels] is playing... I'd say that if we don't win this this weekend, the wheels are falling off. Yeah. And I, I did look at mock drafts today.

Aaron Glenn is an analytically sound 'math guy' head coach

Aaron Glenn first win as an NFL head coach also Math guy... he showed a couple games that he's a math guy. Yeah. The Bucks game. He went for two... He's an analytically sound, but it worked. He was down 14, late in the game in the fourth quarter. Scored a touchdown, went for two, then scored again. Won the game in regulation with an extra point certified math guy.

The Jets will not lose another game for the rest of the season

Honestly. Yeah. I don't think they should lose another game for the rest of the [season].

Caleb Williams lacks the necessary 'feel' for the game and panics under pressure

My biggest thing with [Caleb Williams] right now is that the feel for the game feels to be lacking. And it feels like there's a panic that's like, he doesn't see or feel the game. And it comes out when you see there was two really bad, intentional grounding penalties... the command of a game, the great quarterbacks, you see it, it's almost like a intuition where they're in control at all times. He just hasn't gotten that command down.

I am officially demanding a trade on behalf of AJ Brown

I side with AJ Brown. Yeah, I do. I do. It sounds like AJ his only crime. He's just too nice of a guy and he won't, he won't demand a trade. So I'll demand it for him. I'm demanding a trade on behalf of AJ Brown. Aj I will speak for you.

AJ Brown will remain an Eagle for the entire season despite being unhappy

Yes. He'll be an eagle for this entire, he won't be happy about it, but he will be an eagle... Howie's not going to just eat the, eat the cap because he's upset. He's not going to make this team worse. Just to make AJ Brown's feelings not hurt.

I am done taking the Falcons seriously as a team

I'm done with the Falcons hashtag done. I can't take them as serious team after this game. I'm sorry. I wanted to believe in them this year... you can't lose by 34 10 to the Miami Dolphins who are reeling... and then they come into your house and just bully you.

The Colts are currently the best team in the NFL

The Colts are just the best team in the NFL. I don't really know what else to say. They are the best team in the NFL... it finally was like, you know what, this is not, this is not just a hot start. They're just really fucking good.

Jonathan Taylor should be in the NFL MVP discussion

Jonathan Taylor... should be the MVP... in the discussion at least. He's got 14 touchdowns through eight games. That's, that was the LT 2006 season when it was just every single Sunday.

Tucker Kraft is the best tight end in the NFL

Tucker Kraft best tight end in the NFL. I would say let's just, let's just get fucking reckless. That was yeah. Was the last thing we watched and yeah. Did he have 143 yards and two touchdowns and looked absolutely explosive and unguardable? Why not just fucking say it and then next week Sam LaPorta has a great game? No.

I feel bad for Carson Wentz for the first time

PFT I did not think this was possible, but after watching Thursday night football, I can officially say I feel bad for Carson. It was a pretty depressing watch for Carson Wentz... I didn't think I could feel those feelings for Carson Wentz tonight watching him in pain, just getting sacked over and over.

Carson Wentz suffered a dislocated shoulder or labrum injury on TNF

I'm gonna speculate that [Carson Wentz] had some sort of dislocated shoulder issue. Maybe a labrum. Maybe rotator cuff. And it wasn't staying in place and it just kept getting popped out over and over and over again.

The Chargers at 25/1 are a great value bet to win the Super Bowl

Do we wanna bet the Chargers to win the Super Bowl, knowing they probably won't, but the number's gonna go, we're gonna get good value... They're 25 to one. When they're healthy, they, when Joe Alt is back and their offensive line is healthy, there are still a very good football team.

The Dolphins are running out the clock on Mike McDaniel and Tua Tagovailoa

It just seems like the Dolphins are running out the clock here on the season on Mike McDaniel on Tua... the Picks are happening whether you can see it or not. Maybe just try to do some blind plays.

Tua Tagovailoa has 'low eyes' which causes him to miss linebackers

I feel like this is why in the draft you measure quarterbacks up to the eyeballs. You don't measure 'em to the top of the head. Tua's got a lot of wasted space in the forehead. Makes him a little bit taller on paper than he really is. He's got low eyes.

The Jets are experiencing 'below rock bottom' dysfunction

This is just total dysfunction. This is the rock bottom we were talking about under the rock bottom. It's below the rock bottom. And now it's only up from here. Hopefully.

Drake Maye is a 'total package' and a 'cover two killer'

He's efficient. Accurate. Total package... Cover two killer. [I've] been watching a lot of film. Knows cover two.

The Ravens removing their ping pong tables means they will beat the Bears

The Ravens removed their ping pong tables... Harbaugh said that the vets did it. I have a hard and fast rule when a team removes a ping pong table from, I mean, that, that means they're ready to win... I'm going into this game thinking the Ravens might kill the Bears.

The Texans defense will win them the game against the 49ers

I like the Texans in this game. Not, obviously not because of their offense... I'm more gonna bet the Texans because their defense is the best unit on the field. And the 49ers Mac Jones looked good, but this is a different defense. This is a top defense.

Dak Prescott is the ultimate leader and everyone in the Cowboys building plays for him

He is the best. Like he is the absolute best. He would, you would love him if you, if he got to sit down here and just, just shoot the shit... guys in that building play for that guy. I'm telling you.

The Eagles are clearly false starting on the Tush Push

It's clear they've been false starting [on the Tush Push]. I mean they call, what was the game last week? The other team, they, they called it twice on them for false start.

Jahmyr Gibbs is the best running back in football

I have a take... Why are we never saying, and I'll fix this going forward, Jahmyr Gibbs is the best running back in football? Because I think he is. I think it is partially because his first two years he split a lot of carries with David Montgomery. Now it feels like they're like, alright, he is—that's one of the fastest I've ever seen someone on a football field.

Jackson Smith-Njigba is the best wide receiver in the NFL this year

That was my other hot take. Jahmyr Gibbs the best running back; Jackson Smith-Njigba is the best wide receiver this year. He's having the best year... I know that the answer would be Jamar Chase and Justin Jefferson... but he's first in yards [and] he's tied for fifth in receptions.

I am officially sick of the Texans, Jaguars, Chargers, and Falcons

I have four teams that I put in the Texans category of, in theory I like them, but in actuality I'm sick of their shit. And it's the Texans, it's the Jaguars, it's the Chargers and the Falcons. Those four teams in theory, theoretically I like 'em, but then they play and I just get so frustrated watching them play.

The Commanders money line over the Chiefs is a 'passing of the torch' game

Statement game, statement game, passing of the torch game. I put a bet on the Commanders money line in Arrowhead on Tuesday... plus 205. This is championship DNA. All right. This is what you have. These are the games you have to surprise people and win.

Baker Mayfield's poor performance was due to helium-filled footballs

The rational side of the internet and sports fans understand that this is an inflategate situation. Those balls were getting thrown high for a reason, and I think it might be helium based... I think a back room equipment room job might have went down.

The Patriots are unequivocally better than the Buccaneers and the Eagles right now.

[Big Cat]: Are the Patriots better than the Bucks and the Eagles right now? [Hank]: Yes. ... laughing at you when you mention the Patriots being the best team in this podcast. ... now I think it's, you know, the odds are a lot better.

I would take Jaden Daniels over Drake May a million times out of a million.

The thought that I have is that a million times outta a million. I would take Jaden over Drake may a million times. ... I still completely believe in Jaden long term. I don't think that the RG three comparisons are accurate at all.

Jaden Daniels is officially injury prone.

Injury prone. ... It's true. If he misses time. Yeah. That's three injuries now in two years that have caused him to miss time in injury. Prone. ... right now the narrative skinny as would be injury prone.

Trevor Lawrence is the most sackable quarterback in the NFL because his spin moves never work.

I think [Trevor Lawrence] is the most sackable quarterback we have... Trevor Lawrence I think is over for a hundred on spin moves that don't work. He like, he'll spin or try to sidestep and a guy will get one arm on him and he'll be sacked.

The Chiefs are definitely going to the Super Bowl and likely winning it again.

The Chiefs are so good. We said it a couple weeks ago. They're winning the Super Bowl, at least getting to the Super Bowl. I stand by that.

The Rams are officially Super Bowl contenders.

The Rams are for real, for real. They basically are in the, can we get everyone healthy for the playoffs? Can we be healthy when the playoffs come around? ... Matthew Stafford is still just as good as ever. ... Super Bowl contenders.

Justin Fields is finished as a starter in the NFL and plays like a 'scared puppy'.

Justin Fields got benched in this game. Feels like that's done right? Yeah, that's done. He's he's just a scared puppy out there.

Jalen Hurts' motivational quotes are early signs of him becoming like Russell Wilson.

Why does Jalen Hurts talk like he's a fortune cookie? ... these type of quotes are like some early, early signs of Russell Wilson. That's when you start seeing, you're like, uhoh is this Do we got a Russell Wilson in the locker room?

Justin Herbert is a 'big stupid pick guy' who throws interceptions in critical moments.

I just think that Justin Herbert is the biggest, like what if, what if, what if quarterback of all time. ... this guy like just shows time and time again that he, he, he's just like a big stupid pick guy. He throws out stupid picks.

The Browns will be a very good team in two years once they clear Deshaun Watson's contract.

I actually think that the Browns might be in a good position for the next, like two, two years from now. ... Deshaun Watson, I think has an $80 million cap hit that's about to kick in. ... I actually think two years from now, the Browns could be a very good team.

Joe Flacco is actually a very elite quarterback — he won a Super Bowl, absolutely he is elite

Joe Flacco is actually a very elite quarterback. He won a Super Bowl. He did it really to a certain extent with that great arm of his. I would say absolutely he is an elite quarterback.
