NFL Week 3, Fastest 2 Minutes, Drake Maye Has The Yips, The Ravens Win In 7 Seconds, Witching Hour Madness Plus Who's Back Of The Week

24:36PFT Commenter:It's Drake May Lover when things are going well. Yeah. He came back to the cave, but there was a moment where Drake May threw a big, stupid pick. Yeah. And then he left the cave. Are you afraid that he's becoming a big, stupid pick guy? Because he did throw a big, stupid pick today. Great question. Thanks, Max.

24:56Maybe you shouldn't have pointed at me, you fucking dick. I actually didn't point at you ever.

25:00PFT Commenter:I was talking about last week. Yeah, I pointed at the TV. Yeah, it's true. He did point at the TV. I thought about that in the afternoon games. I was like, fuck, I should have pointed at the TV when Drake made through his second pick of the day. Yeah, I wouldn't have cried like a five. Yeah, you would have. Yes, you would have. Yes, you would have. You would. Oh, you would have cried like such a little baby. Oh, my God. The Dodgers. Settle down. Do you think that memes is taking it too far? Because he touched you. Yeah, memes did touch you. Memes did assault me. That is like sometimes like, listen, I know like, you know, this place is like all fun and games and stuff.

25:32But like we are. This is a real workplace. You can't assault your boss

25:36PFT Commenter:The situation right now I gave him a tap on the back The situation right now between Hank and the booth boys Is basically just My three kids at home Where it's like he looked at me He touched me I don't want him looking at you guys just can't You can't be in the same room We gotta separate you As long as I'm not getting assaulted I'm fine with them That's not too much to ask for I think so This is a fun job Just like me, for real. You know what I mean? You're just like me. Is that why you salted him? Yeah, gave him a tap on the back. See him and Shane. Oh, like, real talk. We do real talk. Gut level.

26:14Yeah, gut level.

26:15PFT Commenter:Where's this season going? The toilet. Is it A.J. Brown comes back and things get fixed? We're at the bottom. Hopefully we're at the rock bottom. Things have to turn around in a massive, massive way. The schedule, obviously, everyone's like, oh, once you're playing a hard schedule, who Who knows? That could be true. Haters might have you on that one. We could be spoiler. We could be fun spoiler. No, no, no. Hey, it's too early for spoiler. That's where. Come on. I don't know how anyone can look at these three games and like that's where it feels like it's going right now. It's like we're in a bad spot.

26:52You know, seven, eight games would be.

26:54PFT Commenter:You were competitive. I mean, you were competitive in the first game. You won the second game. Our defense is good, too. Like we were getting. Trevor Lawrence played really well. We were getting a lot of pressure on Trevor Lawrence, and he was just completing these passes over and over and over again. The defense has played really well. Offensive line has been really bad. Drake May has been really bad. A.J. Brown's injured. Romeo Dobbs is kind of just nowhere to be found, more or less. But Drake May, it starts and ends with Drake May. He's got to look himself in the mirror. I hope he figures it out.

27:29But if he doesn't, the season's not going anywhere good. Do you think it's a good thing that A.J. Brown hasn't been on the field for these last couple performances because he might flip out? Max is saying yes. Oh, yeah. I would love to know what is going on in his brain right now. A.J. Brown? Oh, yeah. Yeah. I mean, the schedule coming up is going to be tough. You've got to go to Buffalo. But that's a great opportunity. We look at these opportunities. That's a spoiler. That's a spoiler season. Maybe knock the bills down a peg.

28:00PFT Commenter:Spoiler in week fours. And then you got the Raiders, who are maybe good. Raiders are definitely good. But then we got back-to-back Jets and Bears. And if you lose both those games, Jets and Bears, that might end this podcast. Why? Jets is more. If you go back-to-back losing to me and to Big Cat. Yeah, if we lose to the Jets. If we lose to the Jets. Thursday night, those games don't really count because of the rest and all that stuff. Right. You're already getting ahead of this. Oh, my God. You've excused away the entire season. It's week three. No, we can still win the division. We still haven't lost.

28:35Wait, is that a Thursday night game?

28:37PFT Commenter:The Bears. Yeah. The Bears won. We can still win the division. You haven't lost any division games. Bills look really good. The rest of the AFC looks really good. That's really the bigger issue is like we can play spoiler seek at the playoffs, but these AFC is just stacked. Last year was the year we got ahead of schedule. PFT knows what that's like. It's like, yeah, you go to that NFC championship, you go to the Super Bowl with a young quarterback. I go, this is our future now. And then you realize it might take us a couple years to get back to that level. It's well said. Just got to look at yourself in the mirror and trust the process.

29:19Be happy that you're not a quarterback's not made of glass.

29:23PFT Commenter:Okay. the yips that you kept on talking about. So since the start of last postseason, Drake may has nine fumbles and 10 interceptions, nine fumbles and 10 interceptions in what would be at seven games. He's the first player with nine fumbles and 10 interceptions in a seven game span since Jameis, Jameis, Jameis in 2019. We love Jameis. We do love Jameis. That was his 30 touchdown, 30 interception season, which was very memorable. Yeah. I mean, And the worst throw of the day, besides the one when he just fumbled it without anyone being near him in the blood, was when he just scrimmed out of the pocket and had Romeo Dobbs wide open for a touchdown.

30:05He just missed him, like overthrew him.

30:07PFT Commenter:Is there a point, though, where the yips are like, no, it's not the yips. It's just, I mean, Max said it in the cave. He was lashing out at you because you guys got in a fight over the Cowboys. And Max, you just said, like, your quarterback fucking sucks. Sucks dick, I think, was the exact quote. I mean, he hasn't been good in like 10 games. No, I just said, yeah, the stat. Yeah. Seven games. Yeah, seven games. Yeah, round that up. Yeah, round that up to 10. Yeah, I mean, quarterbacks go through tough streaks. He's still young. Yeah. Yeah. I mean, do you think it's a problem with the small hands?

30:45No. Because he's got small hands and Will Campbell's got the small arms. It's like you put those two together. kind of a not great combination i don't think that's the issue now are you worried at all about

30:56PFT Commenter:glenn tape watch because feels like glenn tape watch is gonna have a lot you don't work you don't have to answer that hank that's kind of a gotcha thing we need to wait for the all 22 before anyone can actually break this down agreed yeah he even said you're not worried he said he said it might have been tipped that on the uh blood fumble yeah might have been the blood might have been tipped the blood foam might have some legs that sounds awesome might have been tipped let's practice good tape discipline and wait for the all 22 to come out i think spot on i feel bad for like you know you you got kids and and like they're probably like the global warming and all that stuff with the amount of like ai glenn tape watch is using to make these videos yeah i've talked to he's burning resources and probably tape watch i was like hey guys we're not gonna have water in 10 years because glenn tape watch has has to break down the blood so that's really my only concern when it comes to Glyneth is just like the fate of our world.

31:53Okay, so I know that you asked or you pointed out, I think with some validity that at least you get to watch a quarterback play football and other quarterbacks get injured. And Drake May does seem like he's a tough guy and he's smart about when to avoid big hits when he can. But do you think that that's also kind of getting rid of one of the excuses that you might have, which is what if he's actually injured right now? What if there's something wrong with Drake May? that we don't know. There could be. There definitely could be. Keep it out of your back pocket. He's a warrior. He's not going to take himself out of the game.

32:22He's not going to do all that stuff.

32:24PFT Commenter:Who took themselves out of the game? Lots of players. But who's this? Anthony Richardson. Yeah. That's true. I don't know. You could go through the history. Antonio Brown. Antonio Brown. Probably A.J. Brown. He may never come back. He just might leave? Yeah. I don't think that's going to happen. Yeah, but Hank, look at that macro trend, though, that I pointed out, which is the last time that the Patriots had a quarterback whose first name started with D.R. and threw six picks. I think you did this exact same bit with Mac Jones, if I'm remembering correctly. No, no. Mac starts with the M.A. Yeah, his first letters are M.A.

33:03And then the backup's first letters are T.O.M. You definitely did. No, it's impossible because the backup was not named Tom and the starter wasn't named D.R. something. Doctor. So it would be impossible for me to say that. Got it. But you're doing this reach with. What? The blood fumble. I mean, that's real. You might have. It might be a Tom Brady situation.

33:26PFT Commenter:Vrabel did say, my concern level is very high for this football team. I just want to coach and improve. I think that's the biggest thing when you come off a game like that. You just want to get back and work. So you said it. I mean, he's like concern level high. That's. I think that was the second worst loss Vrabel's ever had as a head coach. So, yeah. It was an ass-kicking. It was an ass-kicking. And he's too good of a coach for this to... He's going to bounce back. You guys are going to play a good game next week. He's going to be competitive against the Bills, I promise you. Yeah, you just got to get the office.

33:56Sunday night, or is that... No, it's an absolute game. That's a big promise. Yeah, I don't know if that's a promise. Yeah, I don't think you can keep that promise. I'm one for one on promises with Hank this year. What was the other promise? I was going to get to it later, but I promised him that I would avenge his loss to the Seahawks. Oh, yeah. Yeah, you did do that. That's a great promise. That's great. Promises made, promises kept. Yeah. Good guy. Thanks. PFT, I have one question. Yeah. Sure, Max. Is your sweatshirt on backwards? Yes, it is. That was intentional. Intentional. Got it. Got it.

34:27Because the season was turning around today. Got it. Yeah. Cool. Got it. Okay. Okay. Sorry if I already said that. I actually think it looks better without the stupid commander's name in the front. This is a stupid name. Oh, got it.

34:39PFT Commenter:Memes, you had something?

34:43Yes, I have this stat. I just have to pull it up. Okay. My apologies. Patriots offense has scored 29 points on 30 drives this season. That's the fewest points per drive by any team through three games since the 2021 Jets in the first three starts of Zach Wilson's career.

34:59PFT Commenter:Oh. Zach Wilson higher ceiling than Patrick Mahomes. Facts. Facts. There you go, Hank. Way to fight. Way to fight. He just... Whatever. We're just... He touched you. He's just like me for real. You're just a loser. He should have touched you. Like, and the Jets aren't good. The Jets are horrible. Well, they're fine. I also won a championship in this past year. You have nothing. What are you talking about? I have more championships, like, in... Oh, you're doing 27 rings. Oh! No. I got you. In life, have you... Like, with my eyeballs, parades, after parties, dap ups, duck boat rides. Don't forget about the dap ups, bro.

35:48PFT Commenter:Hank has more dap ups than any of us will ever get. Shaved heads. Yeah. Hank goes to sleep at night. When he puts his head on the pillow, the first thing he thinks about is all the sweet dap ups. I do. Yeah, I know. I'm saying that. Listen, I met Julian. He knew my name and dabbed me up. I was like, that's. It's just very funny to say. Jalen Brunson walks into memes. He's like, who is this freak? Get away from me. Like security. Like there's no dap for you. You don't get a tap. I think I would get a tap. Do you think you'd get a tap? I think I'd get a tap. Yeah, he's a nice guy. I think he would.

36:21He's a good guy. I think that, listen, Hank, there's no doubt about it. Hank has had a tremendous track record of success over the years. Hank has more championships and more memories than he knows what to do with. he's forgotten more memories about winning a championship than i will ever know and that's that's a fact so you have to take off your hat to that but also realize maybe at the same time it could all be crashing down and that's a beautiful thing to see no more dap ups for you because the thing is as experienced as you are and being a winner hank you're not nearly as as experienced as us and being a loser no shit i never will be and it affects you 10 times more what if the dap that's the part of this that you don't realize what if you've dapped up your last dap up no no but just think about that that that would be a really sad thing to be like i've dapped for the last time already and i don't even know it yeah yeah i hope not yeah i guess you never know when your last nap is gonna be water dogs yeah we got to dap them up yeah you have been very funny today but just making like it's it's it's again like it's not it's not super bowl or bust every single year like make like young team young quarterback new coach after you went to the super bowl last year it's not you guys went to super bowl last year and you

37:30PFT Commenter:And you said you had the MVP of the league. That's. But like we, it's just about showing improvement, getting back, like getting in the playoff contention. Like we're going to, our name is going to be in that, in the hunt graphic. The Jets are going to be nowhere to be found like in 10 weeks from now. This is sad that you're comparing yourself to the Jets. Sounds like you also think that last year was a fluke the way you're talking. The assaulter. Because like most teams would build on it. You're saying that it's, you were saying like, it's like when you said, hey, PFT, you know, you're too early and all that.

38:00PFT Commenter:Are you saying last year was a fluke? It's starting to feel like, I mean, it's, yeah, maybe. I don't know. Like, yes. The schedule. Not a fluke, but like the stars aligned. Yeah. More or less. It was more like. And now it's getting cloudy. Yeah. Real cloudy. Real cloudy. There's a lot of good quarterbacks in the sky. Yeah. Where last year there was not. Yeah. Last year, there was a lot of light pollution. You were in a big city. You couldn't see shit. But it was a great year. You had an awesome time last year. Great time. Yeah. You're sick about it still. Drake May, I think he was one for two on third and six today.

38:42Oh, okay. So pretty good. He actually got a third and six turned into a third and five just by calling a timeout. Yeah, that was huge. It was third and six. Called a timeout. He was like, I can't do this. I can't do this, guys. Yeah. I need an adult. and then came back from it and it was magically third and five.

38:55PFT Commenter:Yeah. All right, let's go to the next game. Steelers 30, Bengals 27. The Pittsburgh Steelers scored two touchdowns in the first quarter of a football game. They scored more than seven points in the first quarter of a football game for the first time in 70 football games, and they scored two offensive touchdowns for the first time in a football game since week 13, 2018, 123 games ago. They came out and looked like a totally different team. Shout out the accountability that Aaron Rodgers took. Shout out Jalen Warren, who ran the hell out of the ball. And yeah, the Steelers, maybe they still have a little bit of this Mike Tomlin where they can look really bad, and then they'll just show up, and as underdogs at home, they're going to win a game.

39:46Yeah, this was a classic. If you listened to part of my take for the last 10 years, uh the sealers being were they three or three and a half three and a half point home dogs that was always a big blinking sign no matter how bad they looked bet on the sealers yep and it's good to see that some things the more they change they stay the same and to your point big cat as we talked about aaron rogers saying i need to do a better job letting my coach know which plays are working and which plays are not working we saw that in practice today uh where he threw a pass to michael Pittman and Michael Pittman kind of I don't know if he dropped it if you can count as a drop but he was in traffic it was a tough throw and catch did not convert it the camera immediately shows Aaron Rodgers look over the sidelines saying that play fucking sucks ass motherfucking sucks ass there you go so like right to there's accountability accountability we see things change and we said that's a wily old vet yep understanding how to open up those lines of communication so yeah the Steelers like their offense look it's sputtered at times especially inside the red zone later on in the game.

40:47But overall, it looked a lot better. It could have been even more explosive than we remember if it wasn't for that super long Jalen Warren touchdown run that was taken back. I believe it was a DK Metcalf hold on that play. But yeah, the offense looks normal. It looks like a normal, above-average NFL offense.

41:08PFT Commenter:Yeah, and I mean, Darnell Washington, when he's running, that was such an awesome to watch him just break free. Yeah. It was, I mean, it just, how do you stop them? It's just a boulder going downhill. But with that said, the Bengals should have won this game. And I don't say that like, you know, the Steelers were undeserving winners, but this game came down to special teams. Special teams fucked the Bengals. The Bengals had two things that changed the course of this game. The first was when they were up 20-17. They stopped the Steelers, fourth and six, in the Steelers' own side of the field. and they got an egregious roughing the kicker, and the Steelers got a first down, went and scored a touchdown.

41:51PFT Commenter:Now it's 24-20. Then the Bengals go score. They're up 27-24. Boom, you muff a punt. The Steelers didn't get a field goal. So that was like, if you're a Bengals fan, I think there's obviously a little concern that the defense maybe didn't look as good as it did the first two weeks. Jalen Warren had an absolute field day, and Aaron Rodgers looked like spry young Aaron Rodgers. But that was still a game that you should have won if you just didn't have two egregious special teams blunders in the second half of the football game. Yeah, those two were the turning points for sure. They were decent on third down as well, which is something that they haven't always been with Aaron Rodgers.

42:31And Jalen Warren, I think he got close to 20 carries today, which is finally getting him in a rhythm as opposed to splitting up his carries. I do think that there's something to that, like we saw with Kenneth Walker to start the season. where like if you have a guy try try to like lean on him a little bit for at least you know a few series in a row as opposed to like getting him out of rhythm and making him feel like his job is like always under fire and jalen warren still really really good if you can block for him yeah

42:57PFT Commenter:i also saw a stat and i i went and tried to find it and it's this guy named uh uh scott cashmer who's from pittsburgh so it's a biased stat but he's tweeted a bunch over the years it's a joe burrow is one in 34 when trailing the last eight minutes in an nfl game i gotta understand this stat better because this feels like a fake stat no it's it's real but i guess the thing is like but how many times a lot of joe burrow coming back scoring a touchdown then his defense giving up a touchdown oh he just lost the game that wasn't his fault it makes it seem like there's been 35 times joe burrow's had the ball down and failed 34 out of them like you know i I mean, that's definitely not what happened.

43:40So if he's 1-34 when trailing in the last eight minutes. At any points in the last eight minutes. That would mean that if he took a lead and then they gave up the lead again. Right. Then that counts towards that he's never won that game.

43:51PFT Commenter:It also would mean that when his defense gives up 40 points and they're down 21 points with eight minutes left, they lose that game. So if you look across the NFL, what are quarterbacks' records? Well, I'm sure it's one of those stats that Mahomes is like, you know, he's like 15-5. No, I think he's like 40 % or something like that. Yeah, something crazy. But, I mean, you also have to take into account, if your team is losing in the fourth quarter, you typically lose those games. Yeah. I mean, like I said, I think the Bengals, you look at it, that was just a game that you should have found a way to win if you just didn't have special teams.

44:26PFT Commenter:You fucked up, and that's why it's an important part of the game. I did see one stat that Mahomes is 14-7 when he's losing going into the fourth quarter. that's a crazy which is a crazy absolutely crazy stat but you also have to think he's probably not down a lot yeah when he's with the the few times that he has i guess 21 times that he has gone yeah they're not down by multiple scores and all that uh we also so so we now have and we'll get to the browns game but we have the game of the century uh coming up on thursday night battle for first place in the afc north the two and one steelers versus the two and one browns which is going to be very fun to watch and we also have a very big big news coming on thursday because uh i think it's thursday or no it's wednesday mike tomlin announced he will fully unveil his minecraft city he's been building for 12 years wow yeah pretty awesome pretty sick pretty awesome but so everything's kind of coming up uh stealers right now so i i like that but also i don't like the idea that the news came out before he unveiled because he's definitely going to work on it and make the parts that might be rough around the edges a little more sanitized.

45:32I wish that somebody had just found it.

45:33PFT Commenter:Yeah. Like, hacked into his shit. And this does make everybody in that division, I believe it's 2-1 now, right? The Steelers, Ravens, Browns, Bengals. Yes. Everyone is 2-1. The AFC North is back. Yeah, big time. Yeah. And if you're a Steelers fan, like, this was a game that you, as bad as last week looked, you then bounce back. Aaron Rodgers looked good. He had a lot of time to throw. and the defense Derek Harmon shout out Derek Harmon for that big play at the end of the game with the strip sack of Joe Burrow to seal the victory yeah it was a fun game also I don't know you guys I thought like this game was going to be it shows how stupid we are I thought this was a dead cold under and it was just so many points that was my pick for the PMT group yeah I think I went 0-2 I think I went 1-1 I think I've been bad but yeah Everything pointed to this being a muck it up sealers wind.

46:28I did not expect like an offensive shootout and a Steelers taking it home. Yeah. Okay.

46:34PFT Commenter:Next game. We've got best talk about a muck it up game. The bills and the chargers, the bills, 24, the chargers, 16. I do not know how the Los Angeles chargers lost this game by eight points. It was quite something to watch because the Bills, they came out in their terrible uniforms and terrible helmets, and they looked terrible to start the game. They had five turnovers in the game. They were super sloppy right from the beginning, 10 penalties, but it's the Chargers. So it didn't really matter at the end of the game. The Chargers will always get in their own way. The Bills were like, hey, remember James Cook?

47:16PFT Commenter:He's the man. Let's give him the ball. In the fourth quarter, he had 77 yards and a touchdown. Uh, and Josh Allen, like kind of righted the ship after having a really bad start to the game and the chargers of the chargers, they have, they outcharged themselves. Yeah. He had two, Josh Allen had two completions, two picks on his first four drives. Uh, and then he went 14 for 20 for 195 rest of the way. So he dialed it in after that and he just continues to score with his feet. It's gotta be so far. If you are a fancy football player or really just a, uh, a cook better on a weekly basis, like Josh Allen I think he's got two rushing touchdowns in all three games this season yeah which is pretty crazy for him to be a quarterback starting that way but I mean this offense is good for him and he trusted obviously and he's you know never going to lose that confidence just because he throws a couple early picks well it was like the bills do this from time to time where they have games where it's just like a total bills clunker game yeah and this was that game and the Chargers should have won this game except the Chargers then started clunking even harder than the Bills down the stretch, and that's all it's like.

48:24PFT Commenter:The Chargers are just a really tough team to watch. They clunked back. So the Bills, the last time they won a game with five turnovers, five or more turnovers, 1997 against the Colts. And teams since 2016, if you lose the turnover battle by four or more, two, 119, and one. And now the Bills, now it's three, 119. I got a worse stat, though, for you. Since 2013, teams with five turnovers and a minus four turnover margin are 381 and one straight up. And the three wins, the Bills over the Chargers today, the Jaguars over the Chargers 2022-2023 season, Broncos over the Chargers 2015-2016 season. All three of them, all three times a team has won with five turnovers and a minus four turnover margin are against the Chargers.

49:14PFT Commenter:That's what the Chargers... It's really bad. I thought that Jim Harbaugh had changed the Chargers and they are no longer the Chargers. They are still the Chargers. They're almost more the Chargers than they've been because you expect them to be better. And it's a new way for them to be extra Chargers because in the past, like the last season, like with Brandon Staley. Yeah. Like the team had given up. Yeah. And it's like, okay. That Raiders game. Yeah. Nothing's. Yeah. Oh, that was disgusting. Like nothing's going to hurt us because we've given up on the team. But with Harbaugh, they should be good enough.

49:43that coaching should be good enough where they don't charge it this hard, which makes it more charger.

49:48PFT Commenter:It's crazy to watch because it's, and I know it's reductive and very stupid and meatball of us, but sometimes the meatball answer is the correct answer when it comes to sports analysis. And you can simply just say the chargers are the chargers. And sometimes they charge your shit up. I don't think they're going to want to hear you say meatball because Tom Brady referred to one of Justin Herbert's throws as being a meatball sub on an interception today. That's tough. Listen, Max has never been more right about calling Justin Herbert a big, stupid pick guy. He deserves all the flowers for that. Yeah, he's a big, stupid pick guy.

50:21PFT Commenter:Big, stupid pick guy. If there's one guy we know that would recognize a meatball from a mile away, it's Max. Yeah. And it was a clinic of big, stupid picks. The worst part for the Chargers is, per Ian Rapport, he had said, I think it was this morning or maybe yesterday, the Chargers had the best week of practice they've had all season. So if we're already in best week of practice in week three and then still losing the game, anyone who's ever rooted for a losing team knows that as soon as the best week of practice stuff comes out, you're fucked. You're absolutely fucked. You just can't have that be set.

51:04PFT Commenter:Mark Treston was the best practice coach of all time. It's right up there. We're so close on a lot of these things. Yeah, we got to look in the mirror. We got to change some things. It starts with me. I think Herbert did say that. It starts with me. Yeah. And it's the penalties and just like they just find a way to shoot themselves in the foot every single time. And again, this was a very winnable game for them. They came out like an 0-2 team, desperate, looking for a win. The Bills were playing poorly. And then it just – and it really goes down to like the five interceptions – or the five turnovers.

51:38PFT Commenter:First one's a fumble. The Chargers score a touchdown off of them. Second one's an interception. Chargers get a field goal off of. 3-4-5, miss field goal punt interception. Like, you can't. They got no points off those last three turnovers. And that's the difference. And, yeah, it was just a prime, like, bills are a little off type of game, which they have a few times a year. And I also will say this. I will never bet the bills over again when they wear those uniforms. We need an alert. Those are just not point scoring uniforms. The helmets are gross. I just don't know how anyone could think like no one likes those uniforms yeah no one they were disgusting and and I I was a little confused by Harbaugh's decisions to like when he should go for it on fourth down as opposed to kick a field goal yeah because they had one opportunity I think it was maybe fourth and four or fourth and five kicked a field goal and then later on in the game they found themselves in a position where it was fourth and ten they kind of had to go for it at that point on fourth down but i don't know it it doesn't i don't see a lot of consistency with him when it comes to like when he's going to be aggressive i think i think they're in the desperate mode and it's like this is a desperate team now that's staring a really really bad season right in the face so the fewest points per game the charges are in the bottom four with with a new offense with mcdaniels and everyone thought it was going to be like they're going to unlock and make Herbert into the greatest of all time.

53:03The greatest of all time. The greatest of all time. So, yeah, the Chargers are in fourth place. Then you got the Titans and the Dolphins are the only two teams that are worse than the Chargers. That's bad. And the Patriots. The Patriots are also the worst. Tied with the Dolphins.

53:17PFT Commenter:That's bad. Bad. Bad. Bad place to be. Also, the Bills, shout out all of the people in the media who listen to the show, the Bills' new stadium, the ice machine broke. Ice cream. Ice cream? I think it was ice cream. I thought it was ice. Was it ice cream? Yeah, it was ice cream. It was. Yeah, it was ice cream. Yeah, even worse. The cream team would never do that. Thoughts and prayers. We'd have it up before game time. I did send thoughts and prayers. It's a tragedy to have the ice cream machine down. You can't have that. They did have a backup, though. Oh, okay. Good. Yeah, they had the candy bars.

53:47Oh, they had frozen candy bars? Okay. You know, like some of them do the variants on ice cream bars? Yeah. Are we talking frozen candy bars or are we talking ice cream candy bars? Oh, the ice cream variant ones. Okay. All right. Good. It's your favorite candy bar, but it's...

54:00PFT Commenter:All right. There's nothing better, though, than when the media will send out a tweet about something that's a little off in their, like, set surroundings or their food or something. It's like, man, they really... The Diet Pepsi's out. We've got an obstructed view of the ice cream machine. Yeah. The stadium's the worst. The Clem Trotter doesn't have any oyster crackers. Oh, my God. How are we supposed to report on this game? i joke but like we just eat the same shit we just order it here and and and i would be pissed if if the ice cream machine's out and if we ran out of voice or or i mean there's been times like the food wasn't here before the game oh it's a disaster yeah in our to our credit we don't tweet about it we just talk about it on stream yeah yeah and we threatened yeah and we threatened him yeah yeah what's the type yeah i mean the yeah there was the year he he screwed up the order on week one it was just like i'll never i'll never there'll always be a trust issue i have with him from that what's what's the local type of oyster crackers in massachusetts because i had them for the first time last week they're better than what we don't know the name there's a but i know what you're talking about yeah it's like massachusetts made or something it was like a local one that was everywhere i went and it was awesome we had one today that was with the chili that was like a buttery oyster cracker variant that's really good.

55:20PFT Commenter:I don't really know. It's in like a green packet. I love oyster crackers. I actually like you're the soup guy, PFT. I might just be the cracker guy. The Westminster oyster crackers. That's the kind of generic. You can get that everywhere. They're superior oyster crackers. Agreed. What was the one today we got? Oyster. Was that like a Cincinnati one? No, it was a buttery one. The Westminster, though, is like everywhere. Because I got that the other day with some soup. But I just love crackers. It's good stuff. I'm a cracker. Yeah. Crackers might be my one. We do work at Barstool. Yeah. I just like crackers.

56:02PFT Commenter:I like to eat crackers because it feels like it's not like you're eating something. But you are. But you aren't. You're like, oh, I could just take down a half a sleeve of crackers. No problem with some cheese. That's what I love about Ohio is they think that you put one drop of hot sauce on an oyster cracker, and you're like, this is an elite appetizer. This is something that's never been done before. This is a culturally significant part of our lives. And they're right. They are. They're 100 % right. It'll change your life. Okay, PFT, Seahawks Commanders. What a win. You're welcome, Hank. Commanders 33, Seahawks 31.

56:33PFT Commenter:Thanks, dude. The 12-game winning streak for the Seahawks has been snapped by Marcus Mariota and the Washington Commanders. Yeah, commanders are streak enders. In like the last six years, seven years, I remember we stopped the Ravens preseason win streak at like 24 games. Who could forget? We stopped. Yeah, I mean, it's the only thing that we talked about. You sounded a little. Are you being sarcastic? I had the sense to raise my hand when I was talking about the Patriots as you were discussing them. I appreciate the same courtesy. Continue. If you got something to say, raise your hand. Your chat thinks you'd be really funny today.

57:11the commanders also ended the Steelers Monday night win streak on a Wednesday no I know it was on a Monday but it was like it was not originally a Monday football game so it did not carry the brand right but we ended their win streak in 2020 and we snapped the Eagles 10 game winning streak in 2024 Max remember that So, yeah, we stopped a lot of streaks. Do you remember that, Max? Yeah, I remember. Yeah. What else happened that year? I'm talking about the streaks. Got it. I'm talking about the streaks. We're streak enders.

57:48PFT Commenter:No, you guys played opportunistic football. 21 points off turnovers. Jalen Hurts also got hurt in that game. Okay. You beat Kenny Pickett. No, does your defense, like does Jalen Hurts play defense? when Jaden put up like 120 yards in the fourth quarter and a bunch of touchdowns? A game-winning drive at the last second? Yeah, Kenny Pickett was playing quarterback. Okay, and they play on defense, the quarterback. Well, Kenny Pickett was playing... Yeah, it'd be Kenny Pickett. And then we played in the NFC Championship. Part of playing football is... We played in the NFC Championship. We won by 40.

58:21Well, there are a lot of fumbles. Is fumbles... Wait, is that something that happens in football? Is that part of the game of football? because his hands are small. That doesn't count? They're actually much bigger than Drake's, and also they weren't his fumbles. They were running back fumbles and kick returner fumbles. Did it look like this team was playing harder for Mariota than they were for Jaden? Oh, I love it. I love it. I love it. Because it did to me. I love it. I love it. No, I think this, to me, you know how I told you on Wednesday or maybe it was last Friday that this feels like it might be the end for Dan Quinn no matter what happens?

58:55This tells me like the team is playing. like this is a great game for dan quinn for the team to go out there and and put forth that type of effort so i was i was really happy with that the biggest thing for me i think obviously the turnovers were great um but having sunny styles as a middle linebacker has changed the defense entirely like a good defense with a with a good middle linebacker you forget how it looks when you don't have it for so long yeah he was awesome and sunny styles is a fucking beast and i'm so

59:25PFT Commenter:glad that he's a commander and i get to watch him play four tackles interception two pass uh deflections forced fumble qb hit he was all over the place all over the place and um he did a good job on that pick six that medrano had who was a he's a backup he's a special teamer that was kind of forced in after chanel got hurt that was that was great um jsn as we kind of predicted was just gonna run roughshod over that secondary he's the most unguardable guy in the league right now unguardable we're trying to double team we're trying everything that we could to stop him and And then at the end of the game, when it looked like things were going to get out of hand and that the Seahawks were just going to come back and win the game, they went to him like three plays in a row for a total of something like 60 yards.

1:00:07Just one right after the other. We're going to spam J.S. in right now. There's nothing you can do to stop it. And when they do that, he actually is unguardable. Yeah, it's crazy. And we kind of lucked out that we were able to to put that game away. But I will say I was this was David Blouse best play calling game. Like he outmaneuvered McDonald at times, especially at the very end of the game and on a couple of three downs. Well, Mariotta with his legs too.

1:00:31PFT Commenter:He kept on making plays like big, big conversions. Yeah. And the handoff to Rashad White on like third and seven, third and eight, when it looked like the Seahawks were coming with all their guys and Mariotta had a check to do like an outside stretch handoff to Rashad to get around the corner in the event of an all out blitz. and that was an awesome thing to watch like David Blau is starting to figure out some of the small things and some of the strategy around calling plays in these games so I listen this is a great game who knows what's going to happen for the rest of the season but I said at the start of the year we have to go one and two minimum yep and the first three games because of how difficult that schedule was and you did and we did and now I think there's a real I think we could be three and three and two uh after five games we have next week so we're going to London playing the Colts.

1:01:20Colts who got off the mat today. Got off the mat. And then we've got the Giants after that. Okay. And so if we're sitting at three and two, and then Jaden, the news from Friday is that he might come back and play in just a few weeks. Like he might be avoiding the surgery, which again, I don't necessarily think is the right, is the smartest idea. Yeah. But he's going to be wearing the brace and hopefully he won't dislocate ever again.

1:01:45PFT Commenter:If you're the Seahawks, I think the only concern out of this game, because if you look at it, 33 points, but that really wasn't – it was, like I said, three touchdowns off of turnovers, including one pick six. The biggest problem is you can't run the football, and you couldn't run the football at all today. You had 18 carries for 44 yards. That's abysmal. Goal line, can't run the football. So that would be the biggest thing is how can you figure out – because Sam Darnold, we know you need to be able to run the football with him. like play action and everything off of that. So the Seahawks might be suffering a little bit from losing Clint Kubiak, losing Kenneth Walker.

1:02:27PFT Commenter:Is Charbonnet going to come back? Yeah, he was. I don't know when he's going to come back, but I think it should be in a few weeks. Yeah. So that would be the biggest concern if you're a Seahawks. You're not going to win them all. You can't win them all. But it is weird how the first three games went. It's like Drew Locke played in two of them, one. And then Sam Darnold comes back and you lose. The NFL running backs are converting about 50 % of their carries inside the two yard line into touchdowns. The Seattle Seahawks are 0 for 6 in those situations. Yeah. Max, what were you just looking up?

1:03:04Me?

1:03:04PFT Commenter:Yeah. You. I couldn't find it. I just watched you looking for something. What are you looking at, Max? it was right after hank said did it look like they played harder for marcus mariotta there's just another thing that i found that was interesting in football today but it's not even about this game so we don't even really need to talk about what interesting well we do a podcast where it's helpful to discuss interesting we like to discuss interesting so even though it's even though it's part of a different game sure yeah yeah i mean what else can you say about how great the commanders look it was just a little interesting when baker mayfield got hurt what his offensive line was doing what'd they do oh they were kneeling right next to him okay Henry, any thoughts?

1:03:45Was it real? It was real. Well, I don't know. I can't find the video, so I don't know if it was real. Fully real, they surrounded him like a shield.

1:03:52PFT Commenter:Yeah. They were right on top of him. That's good. That's what you want to see. You guys see the other angles and clips of multiple commanders going around Jaden and taking knee and his offensive tackle, Josh Connerly, crying next to him? You see those clips? I actually didn't. No, I think that actually might be AI. It was Glenn. No, that was real. This is real. As real as it gets. So, Hank, are you trying to claim there's a QB controversy in Washington? I'm just asking questions. I'm looking at the game. I watched it all, and guys were just fighting for Mariota. There seemed to be an edge, and I was just like, they played really well.

1:04:32They beat Super Bowl champions. I appreciate you avenging our loss to the Seahawks. That was a good friend move. But I'm just curious, like silent, you know, silent vote. Jane comes back tomorrow. Do you think the team is silently voting for Mariota? I would think so. Yeah. I think that they're probably going to vote. They're probably going to vote for Jaden, if I'm being totally honest. There was a report. I think it was John Kime that talked about Jaden addressing his teammates on Friday, saying that he was going to come back and not have surgery, and how people in the room stood up and applauded.

1:05:09And everybody in the locker room was super pumped and happy. Who reported this? John Kime. Which is a weird thing to report. Yeah. What, a quarterback telling his teammates that he's going to come back? That sounds like the most planted story of all time. Yeah, the super pumped and happy.

1:05:25PFT Commenter:Applauding. Well, yeah. He said multiple guys. Guys, I've sprained my elbow. I'm going to come back. And, like, guys were crying. He said multiple guys. I didn't say that. No. You're crossing up two stories. Josh Connolly cried when Jayden. Which is totally fine. Which is fine. And then Jaden addressed the team, and multiple guys stood up and clapped like it was a 1990s rom-com. So he's like, I'm not fucking leaving. Yeah, yeah. It was apparently a super touching moment in the locker room. Slow clap? I'm not sure the pace of the clap, but it was apparently hard. Slow clap would be nice. Yeah. Hank, are you implying that that story was a planted story to make everyone be like, Jaden is the leader?

1:06:03Yeah, don't worry, guys. Jaden's a great team. And his teammate clapped because he told them, like, guys, I'm coming back. Yeah. When it's like players get injured every week. So they shouldn't care. So players shouldn't care. I don't think if, again, you got a hamstring injury, you didn't announce to us, like, hey, everyone, gather around. I'll be back in a week. Well, that's because I'm a guy that I'm not going to miss my job just because I've got a low-grade hamstring injury. Yeah, I think that's a plain story. Okay. I think Hanks made up his mind. No, I'm asking questions. I genuinely, I was just curious.

1:06:42I think that if you were to give me truth serum, I would tell you that the locker room loves Jaden Daniels and that he's the best option to win, and everybody in the team, to a man, loves him. Yeah, Max. And he's everyone's best friend. Max. How many games Jaden Daniels play in this year? He's played in, I guess, six quarters of football. That wasn't my question. Half the season. That wasn't my question. Okay, one and a half games. He played in two games. What were the results of those two games? Well, one was a loss to the Philadelphia Eagles. Correct. And then the other that he played half of was a loss to the Dallas Cowboys.

1:07:24So two losses. Yep. Marcus Mariota. Yeah. One win. Yep. That's, hey, numbers don't rely. Winning football. Winning football. Might be Marcus Mariota. I also did look up Jaden's stats, the last four quarters that he played and Mariotta's last four quarters that he played. Honestly, two great games of football from each one of them. Jaden, 23 of 35, 217 yards, three touchdowns, no picks, nine carries. You looked us up before? No, today. Oh, yeah, yeah, before the game? Or, I mean, before we did the show? Yeah, and then Mariotta, 19 of 31, 183 yards, three touchdowns, no interceptions, I believe, 11 yards rushing.

1:08:04So, hey, both really. Yeah, it's not bad to have a good quarterback. It's great to have a really good back. He's one of the best backup quarterbacks in the league. And considering how bad we looked last year against the Seahawks at home, that was just a disaster of a game. So I'm really happy with the way the team played. They got a lot of fight. And, yeah, the biggest takeaway for me is Dan Quinn did not lose locker room. And I think Sonny Stiles might be just an absolute monster. That's true. Sonny Stiles is incredible.

1:08:33PFT Commenter:Also, it was a classic. The public doesn't know shit because I would imagine half of everyone's remaining survivor leagues got wiped out with this game where it's like, oh, it's Marcus Mariota. The commander stink. The Seahawks never lose. Sam Donald's back. Yeah, it's hard to win in this league. By the way, you know how we talk about they've made everything a gami. It's really annoying. The QB gami where they do stat lines. It's so stupid. this one i did like just because marcus mariota had a stat line that's happened three times before and most recently it was by dick wood on october 24th 1964 yep that's just an awesome name dick wood dick wood good job dick dick wood i looked him up he married his high school sweetheart named peggy which is like the most peggy wood the most like 1950s shit ever yeah dick and peggy a guy named dick wood to marry richard wood to marry peggy so uh shout out to to dick wood he is dead but oh shout out yeah i bet he died sound like he lived a great life he lived a great life he Live the great life.

PFT, we do not owe any Browns fan AWL a$50 ,000 prize or two toilets.

1:12:21PFT Commenter:That's correct. I do think we should run it back up for Thursday Night Football. We can decide what the number is, but that was a thrilling bet. There was a moment in time during this game that I actually live bet the Browns minus 22 and a half. Cause I was like, the Browns might just be good. Yeah. So about that bet. I just recently found out like six hours ago that after we said the stakes of that bet, Colton was having dinner with one of the fellas and said, it's kind of weird. Cause like, I actually need a new toilet. So I think that maybe we should buy Colton a new toilet. Okay. Yeah. We can buy him a new toilet.

1:12:57PFT Commenter:Okay. Does he rent? Or does he own? He owns. Oh, he owns. All right. So Colton, we can buy him a new toilet. New toilet's yours. Because I was going to say, Colton, like, what a dum-dum if he, like, rents and says, I need a new toilet. Like, just call your landlord. All right. We got to get... I don't even want to ask any more questions. Yep. I don't know what happened. That's between him and the Lord. But we're going to get him a new toilet. But yes, the Browns. There was a moment in time, by the way, that we should... I should have said at the start of the show. The Witching Hour gods just shone on us because we had the Browns taking the lead against the Panthers as the fumble happened in the Steelers-Bengals game as the Texans, I think, lost the game to the Colts.

1:13:40PFT Commenter:It was like all happening in a sequence of events that was incredible. And the Browns were part of it. The Browns had an exciting part of it. And, I mean, the Browns' defense was awesome. Jalen Coker going out definitely hurt Bryce Young. but the Browns defense this is the defense we talked about in the offseason this is the defense we said hey this team is going to be better than people think and it was all the young dudes Jared had had six pressures uh Derek Barnett had five pressures Mason Graham had two sacks they forced three punts and three uh turnovers on downs the Panthers went four for 18 on third and fourth down that was a Browns defense that was suffocating.

1:14:26PFT Commenter:And then Deshaun Watson, is he good? Well, he was 16 for 30. He did have two touchdowns today. He didn't look bad. If you watch the game, he didn't look bad. He was a solid game manager. He's back-to-back weeks now. Deshaun Watson has taken the Browns down the field for a fourth-quarter touchdown to lead a game. Now, this one, he did try to throw an interception. There was the roughing the passer. And then... Which was the right call. Was the right call. Shador came in for one play, then Deshaun came in. But I don't know what to think because I think Deshaun... I'm not going to say he's good. He's getting dangerously close to being good.

1:15:10I think he's above average in terms of the last 26 years of Browns quarterbacks. Whoa. He would be in the top 50 percentile of that list as he's playing right now.

1:15:20PFT Commenter:He's actually above average historically, not even the last 25 years. I think there are only eight quarterbacks in Browns history that are 500 or better as a starter, and he's one of them. Is he really? Yeah. Only eight. I was thinking since the reinception of the Browns. Yeah, yeah. The new look Browns. He's the first Browns quarterback since Baker Mayfield in weeks 14 and 15 of the 2018 season to lead game-winning TD drives in the fourth quarter consecutive games. So there's that. And, yeah, I think he's good. Again, I'm not going to say he's good. I think he's brushing up against good. Well, maybe he's making good brush up against him.

1:16:02Yes. To let him know that he's ready and he's excited. He's giving good the nod. He's ready to be good. Yes. If that's something that they do there.

1:16:09PFT Commenter:Yes. Mason Graham, he kind of undersold it a little bit because he had two sacks, three tackles for loss, two quarterback hits today. Seven pressures. Yeah, he was in Bryce's face all afternoon. The funniest possible outcome to this game would have been if they had that hit on Deshaun where he came out of the game, then Shador gets in, throws a touchdown pass, and that's how the Browns win. That's what I was kind of hoping for. Credit to Browns fans, though. They didn't really pick one side or the other whether or not to boo with Deshaun. They made it just abundantly clear that the booing of Deshaun would be immediate on a play-to-play basis.

1:16:51So if there was an incomplete pass, boo. That's what I kind of expected. It was based purely on what he was doing on the field. On the most recent play. Whatever the most recent play was, that's whether or not they were going to take a moral stand against Deshaun.

1:17:06PFT Commenter:It was the most capitalistic boo you could have. Yes. It was the market decided the boo. Shameless. Yes. But also, I'm glad that Browns fans got a win at home. Bryce Young, maybe it was a little bit too early for us to say that he can win as a favorite. Well, he got banged up. Well, he did win his favorite last week. Right, that's what I'm saying. His winning streak stops at one for winning as a favorite. And what a win it was. It's absolutely screenshot season for Browns fans. take all the screenshots that you can get of the division standings. But they're not. You need to just cement this into your brain, sear it in there, and you'll have something to think back and feel warm and fuzzy about in the cold, cold winter months.

1:17:47PFT Commenter:But wait, I see it on ESPN. The Browns are last. They're last, though. I don't know why. Yeah, I don't. Point differential? Maybe conference as well. They're 0-1 in the conference. Yeah, worst point differential 0-1 in the conference. So how... So, yeah, they're not... Yeah, they're in last. Thursday, game of the century, as Dom has said, against the Steelers. If they win that game, they will absolutely be in first for at least until the weekend because they'd be 3-1 and no one else would be. They control their own destiny? But, yeah, as I'm seeing it right now, I don't know how would they be...

1:18:24PFT Commenter:How would you get them in first? because even if you did it alphabetically, Cincinnati would be... It beats Cleveland? Yeah. What about... And so does Baltimore. So how would we get... So they're just not in... They're tied for first. And we're not going to take that away from them, but they don't get to sit in first. If it's B, Bengals, B, R, even that alphabetical doesn't work. No. There's got to be some weird... Wait. What? Some weird website. Win streak, if you sort it by that. Oh, okay. Win streak. They have won two in a row. Nailed it. That's true. Which that's how it should be done. Yeah, everyone agrees.

1:19:09You have to do it by win streak.

1:19:13PFT Commenter:Yeah, but hey, the Browns are kind of like they're morphing into what we kind of thought they were going to be at the beginning of season. Do I think they're going to maybe beat like a lot of really good teams? Probably not, but their defense is going to keep them in every single game. And if Deshaun Watson can keep brushing up against good, they're going to be a decent team. They're going to be a salty team and a team that's tough to beat. And I'm excited for Thursday Night Football. I'm excited. This does feel like too many good things, though. Like the Browns are, if you go by win streak, the Browns are in first place in the AFC North and the Guardians are first in the Central.

1:19:51PFT Commenter:They won the Central over the weekend. And I think that's the first time that's happened since 1994, where you can look at it through by win streak and see the Browns in first and the Guardians in first at the same time. And I think that this would be, yeah, I mean, it's good. Cleveland rocks right now. A lot going on in Cleveland. Yeah. I appreciated his Todd Munkin's postgame press conference today. And by the way, Todd Munkin might be winning me over. Yeah. I think he's, for whatever reason, I'm fascinated by him. I think he's kind of a funny guy, and he kind of appreciates sometimes the weird situations that he's found himself in with his franchise.

1:20:31So he was like, Thursday night, Pittsburgh Steelers, we're all in first place. So according to Todd Munkin, they are in first place. We're playing for first place. Holy shit, isn't that cool or what? Todd Munkin, you're right. Yeah. That's very cool that you're playing for first place. and yeah you are on a win streak and let's not talk about the fact that maybe that win against the buccaneers wasn't as no impressive as we thought that it was at the time but not yuck the yum the bottom line is uh you're all in first place you're all in first place and that's cool

1:21:00PFT Commenter:and deshaun watson back-to-back games has gone the length of the field basically and scored a touchdown at the end and harold fan is awesome harold fan was awesome seven seven catches 52 two yards, two touchdowns. Yeah, the Browns, listen, baby steps. Todd Munkin even said he was like, we're two and one and we haven't even touched what we can be. Yeah. Don't touch that. Don't touch it yet. Be careful. You're getting close. Don't get too close. And then the Panthers are kind of the same pants. I mean, the entire, the NFC South is the reverse where there's three teams that are one and two and then the Bucs.

1:21:36PFT Commenter:So the Panthers are, they lost this game, but they're still in first. Very much in first. Well, not if you go by winning streak. That would probably be the Falcons. The Falcons is one game winning streak. Yeah, I think so. Sort it for us, Max. Yeah, it's got to be. Because it's going to say W1 next to it. Right. Yeah, no, it's got to be. W1. The Falcons won their last one. So the Falcons are in first, according to that. Yeah, I don't know how else you would. I mean, I think we all agree that you have to go by the winning streak. That's what we've always done on this podcast. Yeah, we've always done that.

1:22:14PFT Commenter:Okay, next up, Lions 31, Jets 24. Memes. Jameer Gibbs is really fucking good and really hard to tackle, and you got Jameer Gibbs. Yeah, we got Jameer Gibbs hard. Three touchdowns in the second half. He even did the Aaron Glenn celebration. He was mocking Aaron Glenn. Did you see that? Yeah, it could have been a compliment. Could have been a compliment. True. Out of respect, yeah. The Jets, they hung tough. They were playing tough. They started kind of slow, and then Geno was dicing them up. Kenyon Sadiq is an absolute stud. He was making great catches. Scored his first. No, yeah, that was his first touchdown catch, right?

1:22:58PFT Commenter:First touchdown catch. Catch. And, I mean, you guys had the game tied. You're just defense. They just went down the field in basically two seconds. After you tied the game at 24. And that was it. Yeah. Defense collapsed in the second half. They did make the one stop. But. Is what it is. But Gino was slinging it today. Yeah, he was. He played really well. 221 yards. And you have a tight end now. And I can't remember the last time that the Jets had a good tight end. Yeah, it's been a while. For like a pass catching tight end. Yeah. Who would the last one be? Sadiq is awesome. Dustin Keller. Dustin Keller was the only one I could think of.

1:23:39But yeah, Sadiq looks like he's going to be a horse. You're thinking of Dustin Keller. Yeah, we all were. No, no, he was like, that's the last guy from the Jets that I can remember being like an actual threat from the tight end position. Like you've had some blocking tight ends. A bunch, but we haven't had a good one. Yeah. Safarian Jenkins had a good season. Yeah. He also only won four games that year. Yeah, so you guys have And you had two, not one, but two players With over 100 receiving guards today There's a lot of stuff that you should be happy about The defense, not so much Defense showed signs in the first half We just got outmanned today

1:24:18PFT Commenter:Jameer Gibbs is special He was just cutting through everything And he's just I mean, this is why he's the best back in the NFL Yeah, he was so good but they couldn't tackle shit. Couldn't tackle him. And yeah, the Lions defense is still a major, major concern, but you saw it. Geno was very comfortable, like just throwing it downfield, hitting everyone. But credit to the Lions, they did draw up that perfect blitz on the last play to get to – Geno didn't really see that coming, and it was the strip sack at the end of the game. I think that's kind of what the Lions are planning on doing is just score 31 points.

1:25:00PFT Commenter:So this is the third straight week. They've scored exactly 31 points and hope your defense can get one big stop at the end. The defense ranked 31st and they only score 31 points. Yeah, they're very, very consistent as a team. And I think that you had your chances to win. You blitzed a lot, but the blitzes just never got home. Golf carved you up when you get. No, he was. He was. I think it was 14 for 14 against the blitz today. 148 yards and touchdown. I think they got to him one time, but the pass rush wasn't there. The only time they could even try to get to him was on the blitz. So that was concerning.

1:25:36PFT Commenter:Is Brees Hall okay? I don't think so. Oh, that's not good. Might be out a couple weeks. That was not the answer we were looking for. It sounded like you were going to say, I think so. I think Garrett Wilson's okay, though. Garrett Wilson is okay, but Brees Hall's not. Braylon Allentine. Badger. Yeah, Braylon Allentine. Brees Hall on his leg injury. I don't know the severity yet. I felt something when I was running and then got tackled and planted and then felt something else. So we'll see. Oh, that sounds bad. Two things. That sounds very bad. Feeling one thing and then feeling another is not good.

1:26:09PFT Commenter:Not good at all. You got Jameer Gibbs. He's so good. We got Jameer Gibbs. Yeah. He's got a through. He's the first player in NFL history to produce the following statistics through the first three games of any season. 300 rushing yards, four rushing TDs 150 receiving yards, two receiving TDs. He's insane. That's nuts. Guy is insane. Memes, do you want the Bears to win on Monday night? Because you're playing at the Bears next week. Or would you rather the Bears lose to the Eagles?

1:26:43I think I'd rather the Bears win.

1:26:45PFT Commenter:Yep. Correct. Right? Yeah. Definitely. You pass the test. I was going to say it doesn't matter, but... No, no. It definitely matters. Definitely matters. You know ball. definitely are you seeing uh are you seeing improvement week to week from this team seeing improvement in some areas it's like they each take their turn improving like each week like it's either the defense or it's out of the offense they're not at the same time they're not coming together as one also the jet special teams is just falling off a cliff uh again the line just got the ball to 40 every single time yeah well that's tom kennedy farmingdale you know that about tom kennedy he's the man you got kennedy yeah which is never a good thing yeah that could be a lot of things yeah get your sailor your head blown off you could get tom kennedy had one driving to a creek yep no one rescues you sailor said to kennedy put you into a give you a lobotomy because you're a woman who has an opinion in like 1950.

1:27:49PFT Commenter:There's a lot of things that could be bad about being a Kennedy. End up waking up and your head's in some waiter's hand. You got Kennedy. A lot of bad stuff, yeah. Crash a plane. Yeah, well, if you're a jet. There's a lot of things. And you're flying at night. There's a lot of things that you get Kennedy. And none of them are good. No. None of them. You could have. I'm just trying to think. No, I don't think any of them are good. No, you might wake up in bed next to Marilyn Monroe. True. True. No, that's actually not good. What? Marilyn Monroe was famously disgusting and ate in bed and had shit all in her bed.

1:28:25PFT Commenter:Or she smelled bad? Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. You just never want to meet your heroes kind of thing. Kind of situation. Maybe that was just something that they said so that her boyfriend would say that so nobody else would want to date her. Oh, you wouldn't want to hang out with Marilyn. I think it was Joe DiMaggio. She was gross. Yeah. Yeah, Joe DiMaggio. It's crazy to think about, like, Marilyn Monroe was just the hottest woman, but everyone was like, that's the hottest woman, and there's just no one even close to being hotter. Like, that doesn't happen anymore. Sidney Sweeney. But there's a lot of people who are like, she's not the hottest woman.

1:29:00PFT Commenter:Like, Marilyn Monroe was just universally like, oh, that's the answer to the hottest woman alive. Yeah. That's just such a bizarre thing. I feel like Sidney's kind of taken that. No. She is the stand-in for hot chick. Like, I know there's a lot of there's there's enough people who are like, oh, like her faces. And like, I'm not saying that's me. I happen to be fond of Sidney Sweeney. But there's a lot of people who pick other women if you ask them. Marilyn Monroe was the answer for like 30 years. It was also fucking nuts. She could just like very much curate what pictures of her got out there.

1:29:34Yeah. Do like a two hour photoshoot pictures. And then it's like, OK, you can only use these two.

1:29:38PFT Commenter:What was the deal with the cone bras back in the day? Well, nipples used to be different. How so? If you look at like old school nipples from the 60s. I can't say I've looked at old school nipples. You haven't seen like vintage. We got to look that up. Yeah. Old school nipples. Boobs were different back in the 1960s. Well, I know boobs were different, but the cone titties were weird. All right. Now you're just baby bottles. Oh, you've got safe search on. You want me to turn that off? You're such a pussy, dude. You have safe search on? This is a workplace. Well, barely. We should get Max. We should write up Max.

1:30:10PFT Commenter:We're actually going to meet Hank said that he's thinking about emailing HR about memes touching him. He was. He also told memes that he could fire him, though. Yeah. All right. Max is never going to find this. Yeah, you can't. I don't know. Max, you really think you're looking at this. We're trying to find out why nipples look different. This is no help. Wait, I don't want to sign in. Sign in, dude. Dude, either way, the cone bras never made sense to me. Hank, do you know why nipples used to look different? No idea. Boobs? Old school nipples just brings you to... Probably nutrition. Yeah, maybe nutrition, maybe bra technology.

1:30:48Probably what they're putting in our bread. Yeah. Yeah, maybe like the... Oils. Essential oils.

1:30:55PFT Commenter:Microplastics. The butter. Yeah, the butter. Oh, the butter. Dude, they haven't given us good butter in a long time. That was probably margarine times. These are nipple. Wait, hold on. Go back to that. Six nipple changes that should be checked out on a man. Hold on. Let me. Oh, yeah. Dudes can get breast cancer, too. Yeah, I want to just see this because I. All right. I don't know where you're seeing the man thing. Well, those look like men's on the top right. Now, those are bottom left. Those are for sure. Those are for sure. Female nipples. All right. So that was the Jets recap. Colts 19 Texans 17.

1:31:36PFT Commenter:this is our Colts the Colts might be back there's two good games in a row they obviously were very close and probably should have beaten the Chiefs if they had balls and went for it and tried to win that game on Sunday Night Football and then they come out and their defense looked so bad against week one against the Ravens bad against the Chiefs they played really well against the Texans the first half so the Colts going into this game It allowed the second most yards in NFL history through two weeks. And then they gave up 67 yards in the first half, 223 in the full game. They made the stops. And I don't really know what you do if you're the Texans, other than the fact that you've done this before.

1:32:17PFT Commenter:And you just hope that you can do it again, because the only teams to make the playoffs after an 0-3 start since 2000 are the 2018 Texans and the 2025 Texans. Yeah, so they've got the experience. There's only one team that's ever started 0-4 and made the playoffs. The 1992 Chargers. The Chargers. The Chargers. The Chargers. I know that I said a couple weeks ago, I think the first two weeks, that the Texans should not panic. I think they should panic. I think it's about time where they should start to panic a little bit. Well, if panicking for the Texans is just making sure you do everything to get Nico Collins back, that's a good panic.

1:32:54PFT Commenter:Because their offense is just not the same, and they can't move the ball. their run game is still not like they've tried to invest in it and it doesn't look much better I don't their defense is so good Will Anderson is so goddamn good he tried to win this game by himself and the Texans now the most losses when allowing fewer than 21 points since the start of the 2025 season they have six of them including the last two games so that's pretty insane they They do enough on the defensive side to always win the game, and their offense can't do it. And it's got to be really frustrating if you're a Texans fan.

1:33:38Yeah, very, very frustrating. And C.J. Stroud has not – obviously, he's lacking his weapons at receiver, so that's going to be a problem. And the complete lack of a ground game will do this to a quarterback and make them very, very one-dimensional and easy to stop. But he has not looked extremely sharp. And I don't think – And he's Nico Collins. It's not time to panic. I would say this. It's time to stop fucking around.

1:34:01PFT Commenter:Yeah. You can't fuck around anymore, Houston. You've done it enough. And even though I think they're a better team than the Colts overall, the Colts, like, I felt like today that was not the case. I would bet almost everything I have that the Texans will end up with a better record than the Colts at the end of the season. But today it did not look like they were a complete team. It didn't look like they were locked in. And at some point you're going to get some inner squad beef, like going into year three of the defense being so much better than the offense. Oh yeah. And carrying the team, that stat that you just said was crazy about how many, how many times they've, they've lost games where they've allowed what fewer than 21 points.

1:34:39At some point that's going, that tension is going to boil over in the locker room and it's not going to be good. I did do some research though about, you remember when CJ Stroud was doing the thumb thing where he's looking at his thumbs trying to figure out what that was. He's training his, his eyes to not overshoot receivers. because the human eye has a tendency when they track side to side to go too far, and you're supposed to go less far than you think you are. So it's like eye muscle exercises, but maybe he's gone too far with it. He's got to bring it back. His eyes aren't going out wide enough.

1:35:13I don't know.

1:35:14PFT Commenter:He was not really subtle when he called out his OC after the game. He said, we can't just play conservative. We've got to be aggressive and attack and not be the attacked. and I would agree with that. It feels like the Texans should offensively try to take more shots. And again, I can't stress it off. Neal Collins is like a game changer. But if your defense is that good, don't be like, hey, let's try to win every game 16 to 13. Try to take your shots knowing your defense can get you out of a lot of these holes. right i don't know maybe i'm maybe i'm thinking about it the reverse way but it just when when you play these games and you play a conservative style you you end up losing these games where you hold your opponent to under 21 and you lose by a field goal uh what did you points what did you think about the uh roof open situation in indy with those hell the crazy sun the crazy shadows hell on earth it was it was hell in my living room trying to watch it in the gambling that's my Sunday living room yeah that is your living room it was hell it was so hard to watch this game yeah for the first three quarters it was crazy and that's that is I don't even think that's an advantage for the Colts no because that's not something that you can practice to yeah it just sucks for everybody it's it's impossible impossible to watch and see what's going on yeah the Colts had a I think that was a was that a kickoff uh fumble yeah but who knows because you couldn't see it well that's the thing is like if you fumble a kickoff i feel like those you lose that game 99 of the time yeah on the very first play well that wasn't the first play but yes the rate the raiders uh fumbled the kickoff yeah and they still won so yeah but 99.9 is unless you're the rate the 3 and 0 raiders who are playing unbelievable football which we'll get to uh Danny Jones, I don't know.

1:37:11PFT Commenter:He was fine. He wasn't, like, lighting the world on fire. But he lost a couple fumbles. This was just like a good old-fashioned AFC South slugfest of both teams almost losing the game, but the Colts finding a way to win the game. And I will count, like, the Colts' effort against the Chiefs on Sunday night impressed me, so maybe the Colts have more life than we thought. They might. And if you had to pick one team that could bounce back from being 0-3, it's the texans obviously yeah i think i think they'll be okay congrats to sauce gardner i think i quit fucking around yeah yeah first finally won a game in the united states 651 days 651 days that's a long ass time yep finally won a game uh okay uh let's do a couple ads and then we'll get to the last two early games and then we will get to the late games before we get back to the game recaps are brought to you by good friends over at better help if you could wake up tomorrow and be better at one thing, what would that be and why?

1:41:03I wouldn't say that. I think it nailed it. I think the hands were really good. I was watching. More the hands. You're doing the accordion.

1:41:12PFT Commenter:Yeah. Got to give the... We're going to Petco Park. What was that? I'm not an impression guy. That's not like Mr. Big Paul. I can do animals. Let's stick with animals. Tiger. Oh, nice. Elephant.

1:41:30PFT Commenter:No, that's his horse. Do this again. Do this again. That's good. Zebra. Oh, nice. That's good. That's exactly what a zebra said. All right, Chiefs 24, Dolphins 10. I don't have much on this game other than the Chiefs are really good, and they kind of not struggled, but the Dolphins were more alive than I thought and move the ball better than I thought going into this game. So that was like it was a 17-10 game, you know, in the second half. I mean, considering that A-Chan went out in the first half, right? Yeah. The Dolphins kept it more competitive than I thought they were than most people. I mean, they were kind of like moving.

1:42:15The Chiefs still covered. Don't get me wrong.

1:42:16PFT Commenter:Yeah. No, the Dolphins were like moving the ball and then not completing the drives, but they were moving the ball. We're giving them. We're grading on a curve. They were moving the Dolphins. Yeah. Yeah. It was not totally unwatchable football. No. No, sorry. It was 14-10 going into the fourth quarter. 14-10. Why don't the Dolphins blitz on defense? I don't think they're too young. I don't think they know how blitz works. They're too young to blitz? That's not always how it works. Their parents won't allow them to. Yeah. Right, Hank? They're grounded. Yeah. Because if you look at the stats in this game, the Chiefs blitzed so much more than the Dolphins, And the Dolphins having such a, you know, not to put them down, but somewhat of a lack of talent on defense at this point.

1:43:01I think even Dolphins fans would agree with that. Why not just blitz? And I was thinking about it. And the only reason is because, oh, yeah, that's right. Because they're trying to lose. So doing a great job of that, by the way.

1:43:12PFT Commenter:Yeah, they are doing a good job of that. The Chiefs, bad news for everyone. The Chiefs, when they start 3-0 since 2019, they made the Super Bowl. Okay. So, hey, that's bad news. Records are meant to be broken. Also, crazy, Chiefs 3-0, Raiders 3-0 next week. That's going to be fun. Chiefs at Raiders, Game of the Century. Great time. That's a great time. Great time. What? What are you shaking your head for? That's not the Game of the Century. The Game of the Century is Thursday Night Football. That's the Game of the Century of the week. Yeah. There's one Game of the Century this week, and it's Brown Steelers.

1:43:51Okay. And then Chiefs, Raiders, the battle for it all. Does that work?

1:43:58PFT Commenter:Sure. Hank, you want some crazy stats? Sure. QBs to win 115 plus of their first 150 starts. Tom Brady and Patrick Mahomes. Tom Brady threw his first 150 games, 115 and 35. Patrick Mahomes threw his first 150 games, 115 and 35. Wow. Brady threw 129 regular season games, 98 and 31. Mahomes threw 129 regular season games, 98 and 31. Both 7-2 in AFC title games, both 3-2 in Super Bowls in their first five. That's crazy. It's pretty nuts. And they look as good as ever. I think the craziest part is to say those stats and then be like, and now Mahomes has to have an entire second career, which he definitely could.

1:44:47PFT Commenter:He's got to win five more. Yeah, he's got to play for another 10, 15 years and do all the second part of it. Because that is like... That's why the Eagles beating them last time was huge. What? Him losing his last Super Bowl was huge. The Eagles, yeah. The three in a row would have been tough. Brady would never do that. And he would have been ahead. They're on the same pace now. But he would have been ahead of them and had the three in a row in his back pocket. Also, Kenneth Walker continues to be awesome. and gives the Chiefs a totally different dimension. You can just see it every single week.

1:45:23PFT Commenter:Play action, him running hard. Yeah, they're really good. I don't know when the Dolphins are going to win their first game. Again, say something nice about the Dolphins. They were more alive than I expected. Very much. Did feel like the Chiefs were kind of playing with their food a little bit, where they could have scored more if they wanted to. But that, neither here nor there. It was a sick play that they ran to Kenneth Walker, too, for that touchdown. Yeah. That little, like, underhanded pass for Mahomes. Also, I love it when Andy Reid gets cute in the red zone. Yeah. Also, Travis Kelsey's just back.

1:45:58PFT Commenter:It's crazy. That was a vintage route he ran for the touchdown pass. He's just back. Like, I don't know how it's possible, but he looks. I mean, it's obviously not going to be, like, prime Travis Kelsey, but he feels like he's better than he was last year when last year, like, this guy's going to retire. Remember when we thought he was fat in training camp? Yeah. He was. But he wasn't. Because we talked about him, he decided to start working hard. Yeah, not fat. He got better. Not fat. It's crazy. Okay. Giants 12, Titans 7. Oh, one thing about this game. Yeah. Chop Robinson. Yeah. The sack that he had on the home, or the hit that he had on the homes.

1:46:42Yeah. That is like case in point of this is some bullshit NFL figured the fuck out.

1:46:47PFT Commenter:But also they're going to call it. They're going to call. But I mean, that is it was a very legal hit that he did. Yeah. And then they called him landing with his body weight on a quarterback. But as he hit him, he had the presence of mind to even try to not land with his body weight in midair. He made like a split second decision, which is pretty much physically impossible to do as you're go as you're landing on a quarterback to take your hands up in the air and then try to stop. your body the inertia of your body from landing on the homes he tried as hard as is humanly possible and it's just it's a stupid rule i hate that rule uh and that should be case in point of why it's dumb yeah it's a really dumb rule but i wasn't surprised when it was called if you showed me that play and said what is going to be the call here i would have been like yeah he's going to get roughing the passer just because they they especially against my homes they're going to call it every time but i agree it was it's terrible he tried his hardest to not like he was making a a play and then tried to abort at the last second and it's like he like closed his eyes and wished that his body wouldn't land on him yes he did everything that he could I agree okay uh Giants 12 Titans 7 this was a gross gross game let's start with Jameis Jameis did enough to win a game he uh didn't turn the ball over he played to the conditions I think that's like it wasn't like disgusting out in New York.

1:48:10PFT Commenter:A nor 'easter. He had some great Jameis quotes. He said, before the game, one thing that I do is forgetting those that is behind and reaching forward to what's ahead. That's a fact. And then he also said he's winning this game for Jackson, or after he said he won this game for Jackson, 12 points, six times two. It's for you. Yeah. Think about it. Beautiful. and I think Jameis is now rubbing off on Harbaugh because Harbaugh said after the game, I thought Jameis did what was required in this game. The first thing you have to do is what's necessary, what's required. After that, then you can do what's possible.

1:48:48PFT Commenter:Then maybe the impossible becomes possible. That's from St. Francis of Assisi, in case you were wondering. He said that. So, yeah, I think he's rubbing. I think Harbaugh's changing his style. Like maybe Jackson Dart, he had to coach him one way. we had to be like the cool young coach now we can just say quotes that we all are like huh and say well it's from the bible at the end and we're like oh okay yeah it makes sense then yeah like that one that that james had about the horse yeah i forget what that was but that inspired me yeah just as a fan um yeah james played good enough to win because and anyone that says that he didn't well they did win yeah so fact is he did play good enough to win factor fiction they one that's a fact fact so is it time to have a conversation about cam ward yes i think it might be time it might be past time i think it's past i think maybe it's past we should have had it earlier but we like when he says stuff in post-game press conferences like i played like ass yeah like when when he stands up and he goes i suck shit and we're like yeah that's true you do because i saw it i agree with you you're honest and we like that um but maybe it's not good that every week he's like yeah i suck yeah like once he's being very honest he should get credit for that but also your quarterbacks he shouldn't be ass all the time yeah he he might he might be ass he might be ass he might be ass and it's like hey when when they try to tell you who they are listen yeah that's what we should have done with cam war like he's been trying to warn us yeah and we should have paid attention as opposed to being like that's awesome that he keeps saying oh that's so cool he's taking accountability that he's asked no no he's asked yeah there was there was one play today where he did the thing where he acts and he did this in college too sometimes where he acts extremely extremely i guess the best word is nonchalant yeah during a play i don't know if he was trying to sell a play action on it i don't think that he was because he had already kind of taken the ball out from behind his back and then he acted like a quarterback who was trying to pretend that he didn't have the ball but he was clearly just holding the ball in front of him can Max, can you look that up?

1:50:52The Cam Ward nonchalant. It was shocking. I don't know. I've never seen a quarterback do that before. The two things. Yeah, he just kind of stood there.

1:51:04PFT Commenter:Like he acted like somebody blew the play dead in the middle of the play. Which probably worked a little bit. It might have. Maybe he should do that more often. But first half, they were atrocious. They had one first down. Second half, they finally got in the red zone. and he threw a pick that was dropped. Then he missed Carnell Tate, who was wide open in the end zone. Then he threw an incompletion on the fourth down. And then the last sequence, when they actually are maybe going to win the game, they're going to steal this game. It's first and goal. That was one of the worst picks you could possibly throw because not only is it first and goal, not only does he have the chance to maybe run, but he threw across his body to like there was two defenders right there i don't know i i don't you don't have to be a film guy to be like well we don't know what the the routes were we don't know if a receiver did no no that was just an ass pick he just threw a terrible pick at the end of the game i don't know if you can pull it up max but like the the situational football of it was so bad and then everything else was so bad about it too so can you can you pull up the last that this is the first time they went in the red zone match i saw he had the last interception i just want to make sure he definitely had room to run on it yeah and then they even his coach like he solid kind of threw him under the bus after the game and i don't know that you can even call it throwing under the bus but he was just like yeah he needs to be smarter with the football we've got two timeouts it's first and goal on the eight we're going to score and yeah he should have i think this is is this player here yeah yeah first and goal on the seven so He's going across his body, and he throws to a covered receiver who has a linebacker right in front of them.

1:52:46Like, he's ass. I want Cam Ward to be good. I would like it if he was good, but I don't care. Unfortunately, I think he might be ass.

1:52:53PFT Commenter:Yeah, I'm going to say I don't care if he's good or not, because I think you've got to show something. He also, I think he's got, I saw the stat. Let me see if I pulled it. Oh, 55 passes. this he's completed 55 passes this season zero of travel 20 yards downfield that's kind of crazy and and he's like built to be a backup already if you think back to his rookie year his best plays the best passes that he threw were really ill-advised passes to throw when they're like down in the game yeah that ended up working out like kind of by luck yep and they're awesome to watch but they're also very bad choices anyway it's uh so i i guess maybe i i want i want the titans to be good because they they've been so bad for so long now i guess ever since since uh they got rid of rabel well here's the thing and this is this is like a silver lining thing that if he's gonna if cam word's gonna be this ass it's not the worst thing that he's just so bad that you know you have to move on because there's many times when you have a quarterback and it's like they show really promising signs and they take a step back and like you're stuck in that middle ground forever and you just don't know what to do cam ward might just be straight up ass yeah yeah i think the two saving graces are one he uh he's so bad that i don't think it's going to be a conversation like you said yeah and then two his coaching staff right now they had nothing to do with selecting him yeah so it would be easier for them to say cam's ass yeah and they could have won this game they could have won this game uh the only other stat i had from this game which is a crazy stat just kind of speaking to how hard this game was played in terms of like tough conditions because the Giants went into it and they kicked four field goals and won a football game and they went into it being like Jameis don't turn the ball over we're going to hand the ball off to Najee and Cam Scadaboo like over and over we're going to try to play field position Cam Scadaboo rushed for 60 yards today 74 of those came after contact yeah yeah So I don't even understand that stat.

1:55:04PFT Commenter:It should be possible. I don't. It doesn't really make sense to me. I don't really. I can't comprehend it. He just kept on getting hit. You want me to say it again, Max? Does that mean he was getting hit in the backfield? Yes, constantly. Every time. A three-yard gain, but if you get hit two yards behind the line of scrimmage, that's five yards after contact. Yeah, and he probably had some negative runs, too, where he probably got hit and then kept on running and ran backwards and lost yards. Yeah, so if you take, like, a 10-yard loss, you're still probably going to have the yard, as long as you didn't get hit and then run backwards and get tackled for 10 yards.

1:55:46Right, which I did see.

1:55:48PFT Commenter:He did have a play where he, like, it basically was so clearly he was going to get stuffed that he tried to reverse field and then got tackled for a big loss. it was hell for I mean the Titans defense played good enough to win this game it's just can't words ass well they didn't have a first they had one first down right before halftime I think there was like a minute there's like on the first a minute and a half left in the second quarter they finally got their their only first down it would have been the first team since I believe I think eight years yeah the first team in eight years uh without a first down before halftime, which they barely avoided.

1:56:25Do we think the Titans season maybe peaked last week?

1:56:30PFT Commenter:When they almost beat the Eagles? When they almost beat the Eagles. When they tried to fry the Eagles on the field? Yeah. Maybe the Titans were just hot still. Do the Titans play the Dolphins? No. No. I don't think so. No, they don't. Okay. I was trying to find them a win. Yeah, I don't know. I don't know where they're going to. It's tough talking about the Titans, and it's week three. It's week three. All right, let's go to. You know what? You know who their backup quarterback is? Yeah, it's Mitch. Mitch. It might be Mitch time. It's Mitch. Listen, Mitch could play good enough to make you have a conversation.

1:57:10PFT Commenter:He's kind of the opposite of Cam Ward. That's what I was alluding to. Like, that's the type of guy who's like, plays just good enough. You're like, oh, maybe. Yeah, that one game against Tampa. That game was so good. He was so good in that game. Okay, afternoon games. We want to talk about real offense. 49ers 36 Cardinals 30. The 49ers offense is absolutely humming. 437 yards, 8.7 yards per carry. The trick play on like the fifth play of the game for Mike Evans, pitching it back to Debo was awesome. Debo Samuel also now goes in the history books, most receiving yards without catching a ball. in a game 80, which is pretty nuts.

1:57:50PFT Commenter:He didn't catch a ball. Yeah. I think it was the third play of the game. Yeah. 80 yards on the pitch back. I think, was that from Evans? Zero receptions. Sweet play. He was one of the fastest ball carriers in the NFL. Still got it. Not fat. Gave the ball to Jack Black. Gave the ball to... Actually, you know, that was Mike Evans later. Yeah, Mike Evans is the one that always gives it to an adult. Yeah. Jack Black looked... I guess he looked healthy. He looked a little different than most of the time I've seen Jack Black, but close enough that I'm convinced it's Jack Black. He kind of looked like Jack Black mixed with drill.

1:58:22He had that little smirk on his face. Yeah. Yeah, the 49ers offense is absolutely incredible right now. Kittle, two touchdowns. He's on Kittle bobblehead day, no less.

1:58:34PFT Commenter:Yep. Brock Purdy's playing. There are certain quarterbacks you can see when they get in the zone. We've seen it from Mahomes. We've seen it from Josh Allen. We've seen it from Matthew Stafford. Brock Purdy feels like that right now, where the game has slowed down for him to a level that everything is just easy, and it's like a video game he's playing out there. Yeah, that one throw that he made on the sidelines, where he jumped in the air Michael Jordan style, and then whipped it across his body. It looked like, was that Tonjes that caught it? I think so. They probably should have challenged that, because that would have been one of the best receptions of all time, or one of the best passes of all time.

1:59:16And the fact that Purdy's doing that right now, they are feeling themselves. Everything's working for the offense.

1:59:21PFT Commenter:Here's a crazy stat. It's like the opposite of the Titans' entire offensive philosophy. The 49ers have three wins in the season. They're 3-0. They have just four plays that have lost yards. Yeah. Four plays that have lost yards, excluding Neal's. Four plays that have lost yards. That's nuts. Three in three games. They just keep moving the ball in the right direction. And have they given up a sack yet? They might not have given up a sack. I don't know. That offensive line is playing really well. Although Trent Williams did get hurt. He went out. Well, everyone gets injured for the Niners. Mike Evans went out.

2:00:04PFT Commenter:And Bosa's hurt, too. But I don't think they've given up a sack all season, which is obviously incredible through three games. here's a one good thing you can say about the Cardinals Jeremiah Love does look like the real deal this was his like coming out party where he was he was awesome running the football he was he just looks he looks the part that's a that's a you when you see it you know it the Cardinals might not be a good team this year but that is a gonna be a really good pick and if they can get good when he's still in his prime that's gonna be awesome yeah confirm zero sacks Zero sacks.

2:00:41PFT Commenter:Yeah, they're the only team that is not allowed a sack this season. And that's a lot to do with Purdy, too, just playing, like I said, video game, perfect football. I think it probably feeds – they feed each other. Yeah. Purdy's feeling good. He's feeling untouchable. What was that quote that Harbaugh said about, like, first you do what you can, then you do the – First thing you do – first thing you have to do is what's necessary, what's required. After that, then you can do what's possible. then maybe the impossible becomes possible. That's the exact evolution of Brock Purdy's career right there.

2:01:14PFT Commenter:Yes. Yeah. The 49ers offense is so much fun to watch. I would like to see them. Who do they have next week? I'd like to see them. They've had a nice couple weeks where they haven't had. They've got the Broncos. Okay, that's going to be a good game. Broncos then at the Seahawks. That's good. Okay. Now we're going to get some tests for the 49ers, see how good this offense is. Okay. The opposite game. It's just about can they stay, I don't even want to say, can they stay healthy. Can they... Healthy enough. Can they not get as unhealthy as their current trajectory puts them on? Can they slow the bleeding?

2:01:49Can they not be the unhealthiest? Yeah. Average. Can you have an averagely unhealthy year?

2:01:55PFT Commenter:And again, the Cardinals, I don't know. Looking back week one, the Chargers might be one of the worst teams in the NFL. so I'm not saying that the Cardinals but we did walk away being like oh my god the Cardinals might be good I think the Cardinals are going to be exactly like a Jacoby Bursette team is where they'll probably have a couple more wins they should probably start Carson Beck at some point to see what they have and their offense has enough dudes whether it be like Wilson or Trey McBride or Jeremiah Love like they have talent not Marvin Harrison although he did get a couple catches today but they'll do just enough to be in a couple of these games I don't think they're going to be we don't have to like spend a lot of time talking about Cardinals no we don't okay so the opposite game Vikings 23 bucks 16 17 punts in this game 17 punts the Vikings won a football game where they did not go into the red zone they were never played an offensive snap in the red zone it's actually insane because the Vikings in the last two weeks have had one snap in the red zone and they've won both those games they're three you know Brian Flores is a fucking maniac mastermind genius he had Baker Mayfield in absolute hell Zach every single play the Bucks ran was the same thing it was essentially I likened it to a weird like snuff video that you watch of an offshoot Russian UFC fight where it's one man trying to fight against seven men to get himself out of a cage.

2:03:35PFT Commenter:That was Baker Sunday. It was snap the ball, fight for your life. Yes. The entire game. Every single snap the ball, fight for your life, then maybe look downfield and oh, everyone's covered. Brian Flores has me in hell again. A couple of times you get some time in the pocket. Oh, you got nothing. Yeah. Absolutely nothing. Defense kind of did their thing for a little bit, but we couldn't convert on any of those. Yeah, defense play. I mean, Kyler Murray wasn't good. I mean, there was a couple shots to Jordan Addison. Justin Jefferson went out of the game, but they didn't run a play in the red zone.

2:04:02PFT Commenter:It was an absolute mid-off. The punt return was at Miles Price. Yeah. That was an electric return, 86 yards. That was the difference. Also, Vita V's big-ass arm batting down that pass that ended up being an interception. That was a cool play for you guys. He's always going to give us a little spark, a little something for momentum, and then we just do nothing with it. Yeah. The worst offensive games of the season so far by success rate, the Bucs today against the Vikings is one, and the Vikings today against the Bucs is two.

2:04:39PFT Commenter:That tells you what type of game this was. But listen, the Vikings, this is their, like, if they can get anything out of Kyler, and he wasn't great today, but if he can get, you know, shake the rust off and feel good in Kevin O 'Connell's offense, This defense is ferocious. They have guys in absolute hell. This was Kyler's first full game since October of last year. Okay. So you would think that he's going to get more comfortable, and it seems to be a very quarterback-friendly system that he's in. So I would say that, yes, the offense should expect to get better. Todd Bowles after the game saying, we're 0-3, but we're only a game out of first place.

2:05:19PFT Commenter:No, no, he said, funny thing. Yeah, funny thing. That is funny, Todd. Funny thing, we're 0-3 and we're a game out of first. Nothing's funny about that much code. No, it's kind of funny, actually. It is a little funny to be 0-3 and only a game out of first place. It's one of these weird things where it's not funny, but when Todd Bowles says it, it's funny that Todd Bowles said it. He's almost narrating himself. Yeah, it's perspective. Say it to me. Funny is not like a laugh out loud. Say it to me. Say that you're 0-3 and only. we're 0-3 and we're only one game back of first place huh that's funny I don't think it's funny when Zach no but the way I said it that's exactly that's how it's funny huh that's funny so it's not funny to laugh about it it's that's funny to say that's funny yeah it's the extent of the funniest it's funny that Todd Bowles thinks it's funny right if we go like if we don't use the customary system and we go metric we are on second how so but No, no, no.

2:06:20PFT Commenter:No. What do you mean by metric? No, no, you aren't. By streak? We always rank it here in last. The Falcons have a one-game winning streak. Yeah, and also you have a three-game losing streak. So if we do it by streak, you don't want us to do this by streak, dude. Not streak, but like metric podium. That is the traditional way to go. By streak. I don't understand what you're saying about the Olympic. Metric podium would be if a couple guys are tied, then we're still in. Oh, second. Got it. You are alone in second place. That's what I was trying to get to. But it's fourth. But it's three teams, T1.

2:06:57PFT Commenter:Yeah, customary fourth. That's your second. Got it. Got it. Yeah, okay, that makes sense. Yeah, if you're going by golf standings, you are in second place. Then it's closer than a lot of people think then. That's funny.

2:07:11PFT Commenter:I kind of meant it. Yeah, yeah. No, no, that's funny. How's Baker? That looked like he was in a lot of pain at the end of the game. What's the issue with him? Was that like a fractured thumb? They're saying there's a located thumb after the game. He did kind of, I don't know if he hit on a helmet or some pads earlier, and he was holding it, and then later in the game, obviously you see him go down screaming on the field. Pro Football Doc said probably like six weeks maybe. Whoa. So, yeah, we're in a bad spot. Yeah, that's not good. Oh, I didn't know it was that significant. I just assumed Baker's so strong, like, he was going to play next week.

2:07:51Yeah, I don't think Baker has any plans on it being six weeks. Yeah, he's not on the regular timeline when they diagnose these things. He's kind of on, like, Baker time, which is, I'll just play next week. Yeah, Baker seems like the kind of guy who would get into a fight with a doctor. So it's Jalen Daniels time? Yeah, J.D. 5 two times. All right. We'll see. How do you feel about that? Honestly, he was kind of smooth in preseason. I don't feel the best about it. I'd rather Baker be out on the field, QB1. But I think if he's got to play, he can maybe make a shake a little bit. He is smooth. I'll give you that.

2:08:21We've got nowhere to go. We're up, but up. I mean, we're 0-3. So I'm down to try anything.

2:08:25PFT Commenter:So he has a dislocated thumb. It was also in his throwing hand, so that obviously makes it a lot worse. What was the diagnosis that you found, Max? You're looking at other injuries. I was looking at Pro Football Doc. Yeah, but you were just staring at other injuries. I was scrolling through Pro Football Doc. And? I'm getting sick of you. What'd I do? You're just scrolling. Yeah, I was trying to find it. Okay. What about Dr. Jesse Morse? I don't know. He's got a lab coat on. He looks like the Glenn Tape Watch version of Doctor. Yeah, I was going to say. I'm the football doctor. You can trust me.

2:09:05PFT Commenter:All right, so thumb, UCL, full tear, three to four weeks surgery, fracture, two to six weeks. Okay. Baker Mayfield right through him. It could wind up being pretty problematic, requires surgery. Okay. I'm going to go out on a limb and say that Baker is going to do whatever he possibly can to not have surgery. And probably play. And probably play too fast. Battle of the Bays. I'm just taking a guess on that one. That is the most desperate game possible. The Packers versus the Bucs next week. Yeah, it's going to be ugly. This was such an ugly game. It was a brutal, brutal game. Coming off the Browns game, too.

2:09:44PFT Commenter:I know. I know. And the Vikings, I don't know. They'll have to figure out offense because I don't think it's sustainable to just never have plays in the red zone. But their defense will keep them in every single game. Is Jefferson okay? I don't know It's going to take way too long for Max to fight It will I got lost in another Oh so this is my fault No this time I got lost It was graph talk This is an interesting graph QB has no middle class What 50 million a year is buying you Okay So they've got Baker listed as the worst quarterback In terms of like dollar by dollar Paid I don't necessarily agree with that.

2:10:31No. But I guess he's played bad this year, so I guess a graph is a graph. Value added per drop back. And then it's how much you get paid per year.

2:10:42PFT Commenter:Rogers is cheap and struggling. So it looks like the best quarterback in the NFL right now is Drew Locke. Where's Drew Locke? He's top left. Oh, yeah, yeah. In the bargains and value added. Yeah. Yeah, he looks good. All right. Okay. I'm sorry, Zach. It's just too bad that Che, it's, you know, he should apologize to Rico Bosco. Yeah, Che could have cursed his team. Yeah, he definitely cursed his team. The Bucs now 12 games in a row where they have lost against the spread. That is insane. I don't know why I bet on them today, but I did, and that was very stupid of me. I did it too, and then I did it again, and then an emotional fan bet again.

2:11:31Brutal. Brutal. Good to see it.

2:12:48PFT Commenter:sent you don't forget there's no safe like simply safe okay we have raiders the three and oh las vegas raiders 34 and the new orleans saints what was the oh sorry i have the scores wrong what was the score of that game uh oh 35 to 27 the raiders are three and oh clint kubiak might be a genius and kirk cousins now has three straight games where he's thrown three touchdown passes and the Raiders are 3-0. It's crazy. Yeah, there's not a lot that you can say. Like, the Raiders are just good. Kirk Cousins is playing as good as he has in years. Yep. And he's making good throws, too. They're not all easy throws.

2:13:30No. He's not dinking and dunking all the way.

2:13:32PFT Commenter:Brock Bowers being back was huge. Brock Bowers, he reminded everyone very quickly why he's one of the best, if not best, tight ends. 10 for 116 in a touchdown. And it's like, it's not just... the fact that you watch a Raiders game with Brock Bowers on the field, you're like, you know they're going to throw it to Brock Bowers, and they still can't stop Brock Bowers. Yeah. You know? Well, they were getting him in single coverage a lot. Yeah. And if you throw him a back shoulder, he's going to catch it every time. Really fun offense. They're like kind of a... It's weird seeing the Raiders run a creative offense.

2:14:07Yeah. I'm not used to it, and it's kind of shocking. Shuck, on the other hand, at the Saints, they got to figure out a way to score points in the first half.

2:14:14PFT Commenter:They got to figure out a way to score points the first half. They also had just an all-time just meltdown in the fourth quarter today because they were up 27-16 in this game. And then in the fourth quarter alone, they had three fumbles and an interception. It just – they kept on getting the ball back, and it kept on falling apart. And it was actually shocking because we're used to Shuck and the Saints being like – I guess we should have expected it after beating the Ravens. like there would be a little bit of a come down. But you just kind of like, okay, now the Saints are going to do it. Oh, now the Saints are going to do it.

2:14:51PFT Commenter:And they just couldn't do it. They could not do it. Yeah, you got to make the field goals of the first half, make them into touchdowns. That would have gone a long way. The Raiders have matched their wins from last year already. So they won three games last year. They've won three games this year. This fifth-round draft pick they got, Hezekiah Massis, is awesome. He has three picks, and he's one of the best defenders so far in the season. He's got 18.2 passer rating against. He's tied for the leading league in interceptions. Yeah, the Raiders are just kind of fun. I don't know. It's weird to watch the Raiders and be like, I'm actually going to maybe enjoy watching this game.

2:15:34They're very fun. And by the way, the Raiders had a couple field goals in the first half. The Saints, they just missed an extra point. So they had two touchdowns, but their drives were like if they would either go length of the field or they would go three and out in very uninspired football. And it's like that's been their kind of MO for the entire season. They need to figure out ways to not make the halftime adjustments, but to come out in the first half and put points on the board.

2:16:00PFT Commenter:Yeah. Now, I don't want to pour any cold water on the Raiders. By the way, whose line is it anyway? Let's look it up, Hank. Raiders Chiefs. I think it's Chiefs at Raiders. Your phone dead? Yeah. Your phone dead. All right, I'll look it up. You guys guess for me. You want me to look it up? I got it. No, because we can see. It's Chiefs at Raiders. Chiefs at Raiders. What are you guys guessing? I got the Chiefs. Chiefs minus four and a half. I got the Chiefs minus, I'm going to say six. Minus six and a half. Okay, Chiefs at Raiders. I'm going to say it's a pick them. Minus five. You're going to say it's a pick them?

2:16:34PFT Commenter:Yeah. Minus five and a half. Ah, so close. So close. I was going to say the 3-0 teams in the NFL right now, the total yard margin among them, because this is kind of a way you can be like, all right, are they beating teams like soundly or are they finding a way to have weird plays happen? The Chiefs are leading it in plus 415 yards. The 49ers are plus 259 yards. So, like, those are good teams. Bills are plus 121. Good teams. Raiders are minus 15 Vikings are minus 244 so it might come back to earth but I'm not saying I mean I think the Raiders are Max Crosby too is just he just wrecks games the fact that he gets to play with the leads now and and it feels like it feels like he's rejuvenized when he can actually like have an impact on a game and then they win the game not have an impact but still lose by 20 points Yeah.

2:17:36I'm looking at the standings right now. Obviously, both the Chiefs and the Raiders, three-game win streaks.

2:17:41PFT Commenter:Yeah, so they have to be tied. I think we have to go road wins. Road wins count more. Talk to the mic, Hank. Get the mic a little closer. Are you cold? Yeah. Oh, my cold? No. What are you doing with your sweatshirt? He's chilling. I'm like, I was hot. I took my sweatshirt off, and then I was covering up my arms. Are you self-conscious about your arms? no i guess i guess i guess i got cold but i didn't feel like putting my sweatshirt all the way back on you look like a chick right now yeah that's fine okay chicks are cold yeah i this is i do look like a chick right now i i got i got no defense for that but i'm just lazy and don't want to put my sweatshirt back on you look cozy it is annoying to put the sweatshirt back on with the headphones yeah yeah and the hat i think you look you look you'd have to do more than one thing right it's very comfortable right now three things three things three things that would take over five seconds let's count it no i'm not doing it i'll time you i'm not doing it no i'm not time you no what if i get hot then you take it off take it back off what time you take it off all right wait wait hold on hold on come on hold on all right ready wait no no put it back on You're cheating.

2:18:55PFT Commenter:Ready, set, go. Okay, he's doing it. He's taking off his hat. Now he's taking off his headphones. And he's putting on his sweatshirt. Oh, he's smoking the mic. It's a good thing he didn't do this during the show. Yeah. Yeah. Okay. And he's got... Oh, he's really struggling to get that arm through. His arm's stuck. Oh, my God. Oh, my God. Oh, no. Get the hat back on, too. Yep. Okay. Okay. And then get that back on. And time. 22 seconds. That's too many. That's way too long. Let us know when you get hot It's hot, it's hot It's really hot in this booth tonight too So yeah, I do think we go by road victory I think it's gotta be Raiders, then Chiefs Then Broncos Then Chargers What an exciting game though Chiefs and Raiders, 3-0 teams Great uniform matchup I hope they're not doing this stupid rivalry uniform shit Oh, that would bum me out That would bum me out big time Can we confirm that it's gonna be normal?

2:19:51They can't have normal old school uniforms. Give me the black Raiders uniform. Give me the white Chiefs uniform. Give me the normal helmets.

2:20:07PFT Commenter:I don't think we're going to know this yet. Give me all of that. Give me all of that. Saints got to figure it out. It does. I should have seen it coming. After such a big. I should have seen it coming when I said last week. I read Chris Olave's quote saying, it feels good to finally beat a good team. That was a pretty good sign that maybe they're not fully ready. And their final five offensive drives, fumble punt, interception, fumble fumble. Funny thing, they're in first place. They are. Kind of. Well, no, no, no, they're not. Falcons are. Funny thing, they're only one game winning streak away from being in first place.

2:20:49PFT Commenter:Little did we know that Max hitting the button to rank teams based on win streaks would just completely kidnap this episode. I mean, Game of the Century maybe next week, Saints versus Falcons. You know what the Game of the Century is. No, but you're – did you not hear what I just said? I know. Saints versus Falcons. I know. For a commanding lead in that division. Well, they're also doing the 20th anniversary in the Dome of Steve Gleason, which will be cool. That'll be great. That'll be very cool. But you know what the Game of the Century is. It's a Thursday night game. It's a Thursday night game.

2:21:26PFT Commenter:We all know. We might have multiple Game of the Century. As of now, the Game of the Century is Thursday night. This might be the season of the Century. I think the Browns are the only ones that are going to happen. We've had some great games. This weekend had so many great games. What happens if you lose a Game of the Century? Then you're banished. Then it's over. The Century's dead. You got to restart your century. I think it was 12 or 14 games were decided by one score or less. This week? Yeah. Oh, love that. Love that. One score or less. They had Sunday Night Football, like the postgame show on.

2:22:01Yeah, it makes sense. Well, that could not be exactly the stat.

2:22:04PFT Commenter:One of the closest games, the Ravens 34, Cowboys 31. Too much time for Lamar Jackson. Seven seconds. what what terrible clock management by the cowboys oh my god like just really stupid stuff i put a curse on him last week the curse is working extremely well it was very happy with it really dumb shit first of all terrible call by the referees on that pass interference yeah that they called against cd lamb at towards the end of regulation that was that was some terrible refereeing but then dac prescott just i i don't know what the logic was uh in terms of uh it was third down and they stopped the clock with 14 seconds left that's on shot and it's on shot and heimer yeah i don't i don't understand what they're doing and then well we can back up a little bit because the game's not all about what happened the last like 15 seconds it kind of is it kind of is though it's actually what happened in the last 10 seconds first time ever the two teams kicked a field goal with 10 seconds left in the fourth quarter.

2:23:05Yeah, it's never happened. The game has never ended that way, which tells you a lot about the team that lost mentality going into the end of that game. Derek Henry kind of sucked on short yardage situations today. Which we've talked about. Which we've talked about. Shut up, Billy. Billy's never wrong just early. Caleb Downs is a fucking beast. I love watching him play football. I'm so bummed out that he's a cowboy, but I love watching that dude play. and yeah he was getting he was giving it right back to Derrick Henry you need to get him out he has to have a running start he's got to have some momentum going and then he's unstoppable but if you hit him if you get to him in the backfield then he's actually not he's not elusive

2:23:44PFT Commenter:enough and he's so big that there's a lot to grab onto yeah so the the game is like it was a fun game Rio good job the turf didn't really fuck things up there's a couple slips but overall held up and we had points and we had offensive explosion. The Cowboys are just an absolute, like the Ravens defense struggled with the Cowboys. Cowboys defense struggled with the Ravens offense, but the Cowboys are so, they could have lost the game obviously in overtime, but to lose this game in regulation when you are at, what was it? It was third and goal with a clock running and a timeout in your pocket. and you stop the clock with 14 seconds left, run another play, don't take any time off the clock, kick a field goal, and then kick a touchback.

2:24:38PFT Commenter:It's how do you lose that game? We literally were in the cave and we said, let's go start recording. And by the time we got to the studio, they were kicking a field goal. The Ravens were kicking a field goal. I had no idea. It's insane how much they fucked that up. The defense they came out with, and say what you want about the clock management at the end when they had the ball on offense. And by the way, Dak probably could have thrown a touchdown pass to George Pickens in the end zone. I think that was Georgie that was open in the end zone where he just decided he was going to throw it out or clock it pretty much.

2:25:11And then the defense they came out for that last drive of the game that the Ravens had and just wide open, middle of the field. I don't know what they were possibly thinking. That is the one throw that you can't allow there.

2:25:22PFT Commenter:Yes, the Cowboys made like four mistakes back to back to back that if they just don't make any of them, they could maybe play in overtime, but they made all four. They made all four mistakes, and it was so mind-numbingly stupid to take their third time out. You're on the seven-yard line. A play like you have plays in your playbook that are basically like the no sack, you know one read throw it out of bounds if he's not there plays that burn three seconds get the fucking clock to to eight seconds and run a play and then kick your field goal and then if you screw it up and you're like whoops we probably left too much time don't kick the ball out of the end zone yeah it's crazy absolutely crazy i don't know how the cowboys lost this game in regulation they deserve to lose because it was so idiotic yeah it was great so it was awesome And I mean, the Cowboys offense is still like I still believe in the Cowboys offense, but their defense again when they need stops is not, you know, they get run on.

2:26:30PFT Commenter:They get they just can't. It's kind of like the Giants game, you know, like when it was just like you can just play keep away from the Cowboys when you want to. And that's going to be a long, long flight home for them to a game that you should have won. Yeah. Coming back from Brazil. Well, shorter, shorter flight than the flight to or no, no, no longer Baltimore. Baltimore is a shorter flight to Brazil than Dallas is. Yes. Yes. Yeah. How far is the flight? I think it's like 10 hours to Dallas, nine and a half to Baltimore. Yeah. It's a tough one. Shouldn't have lost that game in regulation. No.

2:27:06PFT Commenter:I would much rather just lose that game in overtime and be like, well, we did everything we could. I'd rather get my ass kicked. I'd rather lose by 10. Seven seconds. Than to have that loss. Seven seconds and you go into field goal range. Yeah. And what a kick, by the way, doing the Ronaldo, which I don't know if that plays in Brazil. Oh, they had like 80 ,000 people going soon. So they were all saying that. Yeah. Zach do it. So Ronaldo would never score from that far away. You saw that he said he's coming back to what? Maybe international play. Okay. Mountain City. Some guys retired, you know.

2:27:47All right. He did the suit. Let me see. He did the, okay. Of course the kicker would have that celebration ready to go.

2:27:52PFT Commenter:Also, I feel like that celebration is like prime Terrier ACL. Yes. You can see Romar Houston. Yeah. Yeah. You guys got to be happy the Cowboys lost? Very. Extremely happy. The curse. There is a curse on the Cowboys. Max could be very happy. Yeah, I was very happy that they lost that game. What a game. And the next week. Cowboys-Texans. I don't think the field was as bad as we were led to believe that it would be. No. I agree. Because they brought out that weird stitching machine. Yes. To, like, sew artificial fabric into the field. There was, like, one time when CeeDee Lamb slipped. I was like, that was definitely the field.

2:28:29Yeah.

2:28:30PFT Commenter:But other than that, you guys want to do Who's Line Is Anyway for Cowboys Texans? We have so many good games next week that are at noon. Were they playing? The primetime games stank. Yeah. The Panthers are playing in Sunday Night Football. Ugh. Yeah. Yeah, no, it's kind of weird. They're playing in Houston. Okay. Whose line is this anyway? I think it might be a pick. Houston minus two. Maybe minus one and a half. Okay. What's your guess? I like one and a half. I'll say two. Okay. Max, you got it. Minus two and a half. Okay. Houston minus two and a half. What's going on? I like Houston. No. I like Dallas.

2:29:14I was going to say. I like Dallas.

2:29:15PFT Commenter:How can Houston score? It's a must win for Houston. It is, but how are they going to score? We got to start doing all. We should honestly do like a quick. We're not going to do it tonight because we're going long. But next week, let's just do a quick five minutes down the whole board. Come to consensus picks. I guarantee you if we then faded ourselves, we would be awesome. Because your gut reaction on Sunday night is usually so wrong. Yeah. Because you have everything that just happened. So whatever you think, you're just like, yeah, that's easy money. I guess it's strength against strength where the Cowboys offense against the Texans defense.

2:29:58Kind of neutralize each other. Maybe the defense neutralized the offense a little bit.

2:30:03PFT Commenter:Yeah. Like Jaguars are plus two and a half against the Bengals in Cincinnati. Yeah, that doesn't make a lot of sense either. That's easy Jaguars. Sucker. Easy Jaguars. That's what I'm saying though, Hank. then we listen back and we say yeah take the bangles our our stupid self in the moment could help us just something to think about uh roback question rhoback.com promo code take 20 off your first purchase q-zips polos hoodies joggers shorts roback.com promo code take i'll ask this to you pft are the rams in trouble i think i think they might be the rams lost i think they might be just because the division that they're in is so good.

2:30:47PFT Commenter:They lost 30-26 to the Broncos Sunday Night Football, which was a snoozer of a first half. Bo Nix looked bad. The Broncos' offense looked bad. And then an awesome second half that had just big play after big play. You had a pick six from Matthew Stafford, which you heard during Boomers. Then you had a big, long touchdown for the Rams. Then you had the Broncos come back, some questionable calls maybe. They score. They take the lead, and the Rams almost have a chance to win it on the 20-yard line at the end. It was crazy to watch and very, very entertaining. There was 40 points in the second half alone, and I think the Broncos are just – I think they might be a team that when you watch them, just wait until they seem to bottom out live.

2:31:35PFT Commenter:They always look helpless, and then Bo Nix, something will happen, and he'll just be like, okay, I'm going to start playing football now. The Broncos are a team kind of like the Saints that they have to panic a little bit before they get good. Yeah. They need that to motivate them to a certain point. It's not that I don't think that the Rams are good. I think the Rams are a very good football team, but I just think that if they're going to do big things this year, it's going to be very helpful to them to have some sort of home field advantage in the playoffs. And every game like this that they lose, that they look back on and say, we should have won that game, those are going to add up at some point.

2:32:08and that's going to make it tough for them to go super far. Yes. Because this is one you look back at, and there were so many different ways that they could have put this one away. But like we talked about with Stafford, he's led the league in turnover luck, in interception luck for the last two seasons at almost a historical pace where a lot of his passes that should have been picked off have not been picked off, and that pick six was just one time that it catches up to you. Yep. And I believe that put him past Brett Favre first all-time in pick sixes.

2:32:39PFT Commenter:Where's Matt Schaub? I don't think Matt Schaub played long enough. He just had those three games in a row. He was like the Gale Sayers of pick sixes. Yeah. His peak was better than anyone else's. Yeah, the stars that burn brightest fade out the fastest. I'd like to look at the pick six. Pick six all-time football QB. I'm so bad at Googling, but it is getting pretty good. They get it. Not with sports. They fuck up sports all the time. Oh, no. Yeah, this is really bad. Here's a consensus pick for six of the greatest all-time quarterbacks. Yeah. Most. Who's one? Dan Marino. What? It's a dumb pick.

2:33:25PFT Commenter:Yeah, it was. Okay, Matthew Saber, 33. Brett Favre, 32. Dan Marino, 29. Joe Namath, 28. Peyton Manning, 27. Tied with Drew Brees with 27. Kind of crazy that Joe Namath threw so many pick sixes. Yeah, they didn't even throw back. Right. He had more interceptions. No, did he have more interceptions than touchdowns? He might have. I think it was that. That was the crazy stat. Is that stat correct? Is that stat correct? No, no. Well, he had that one incompletion to Rico's dad. That's true. Matt Schaub finished his career with 14 regular season pick sixes, but he also has the record for most consecutive games with the pick six in four straight games.

2:34:10PFT Commenter:Really? It felt like it was nine. It really did. And it was like an event every time he did it. Yeah. It was like, holy shit. He done it again. The guy has done it again. Joe Namath. I'm looking it up right now. Cause we're doing stupid deep dives. Unless anyone has anything else to say. I think the Broncos are good. Like are a very good team. If bonus can play consistently throughout four quarters, it might be a little easier, but they beat a really good team. But I also think that's kind of what makes Bo Nix special. I agree. He sucks ass sometimes. And then it's almost like the more he sucks, he's like, don't worry, I'm just powering up.

2:34:45PFT Commenter:Yeah. Oh, we weren't even close. The close one is that Joe Namath has one more loss than win. Oh, yeah. He had 47 more interceptions than touchdowns. Oh, wow. It's insane. He had 173 touchdowns and 220 interceptions. That's kind of remarkable that he was allowed to play quarterback for that long. Right? How many interceptions that he threw. It's crazy looking at these. like in 1972 he led the league in touchdown passes with 19 fuck yeah but he also had 21 interceptions that's when men played football that's nuts yeah they run the fucking ball just slinging it his last season he started or second last season he started eight games he threw four touchdowns and 16 interceptions nice nice that's insane yeah so I mean things aren't so bad for Drake May right now Hank yeah there you go Jonah Davis the Hall of Famer could be a lot worse yeah I do think both these teams would be good but you're right the Rams it's not that they're bad they're one of the best teams in the NFL they have a tough couple games they gotta win they have Eagles and Bills coming up and their division is just really tough because the Seahawks and the 49ers are gonna win a lot of games it's hard to win in this league man yeah it's hard to win in this league alright before we do who's back of the week Max, do you want to do predictions for tomorrow night?

2:36:23Tonight.

2:36:24PFT Commenter:Tonight. Slop. Slop. I agree with Slop. My prediction is Slop. I can agree with Slop. I'm going to say Bears 20, Eagles 19. I don't know how we got there. I have to pick the Bears and I also Case Keenum's not going to be good I don't think he is I think he is Based on what? Ben Johnson Ben Johnson he's only worked with good quarterbacks but also Ben Johnson wants to take shot plays Case Keenum hasn't thrown a regular season pass since 2023 They signed him for a reason because he's like For this reason. He's probably one of the best third stringers. He's also, I think, neighbors with Caleb and a big-time mentor to Caleb.

2:37:22Yeah. So perfect.

2:37:24PFT Commenter:But no, but that's not – being a mentor to Caleb is not throwing a football in an NFL game. Yeah, but he knows what Caleb thinks. He knows what Ben Johnson thinks. I think it's going to be – Bears are going to shock the world tonight. Okay. Shock the world. I do think it'll be interesting to see what Ben Johnson's offense looks like when he limits what he's able to do. like obviously Caleb Williams is a physical freak at the quarterback position. What? The way the Bears win this game is they run the football. Yes. That's how the Bears win this game. But they're going to have to pass. It's a lot harder to run the football when you don't have a threat of throwing the football.

2:38:03PFT Commenter:Correct. That's going to be the hard part. He's going to have to make some throws. Is Saquon playing? Yes. Okay. That's a problem. Is he 100 %? 100%. Seems to be. Who is? Devontae Smith also playing. I am not. Best shape of my life. I am not 100%. Also possibly Zach Ertz. Bears are going to have to run the football a lot, and maybe we're going to need to get the tight ends involved. They're going to have to have a big game. I don't know. It's going to be nice outside, too. Yeah. Not really bare weather. I don't know the path to victory, but listen, Case Keenum has done the miraculous before. Case Keenum revenge game.

2:38:41PFT Commenter:Yeah. Big time revenge game. Big time revenge. From like nine years ago. I got one key to the game, Big Cat. Yeah. You have to make Jalen Hurts play quarterback. Mm-hmm. Nope. I'm not going to say that. You got to make him be a quarterback. You already said. You already said. No, I said, uh-huh. You said, uh-huh. I was on autopilot. Yep. I'm not going to say that. Yep. You already did. He's a quarterback. Too late. Too late. I actually think we got to make Jalen Hurts be a running back. That's how you beat him? I don't want him to beat us. Yeah. He beats people with his arms. I mean. We got to make him beat us with his legs.

2:39:09PFT Commenter:I do think that when people say we got to make him play quarterback, he like double thinks himself. Yeah. He's like, well, should I listen to what they're saying? Should I prove them wrong? Yeah. Our defense is so bad. Listen, I'm in tread water mode. Strictly tread water mode. Find a way to go 500 while Caleb Williams is out. If he's out for three to four weeks, which it's a grade two. and I got updated. Schefter's reporting and Pellissaro were all over the place. Everyone just needs to chill the fuck out and just let them report it instead of just trying to be first every time. You see what Ian Rapport tweeted out?

2:39:48What? This part was kind of wild where he was like, this actually kind of explains why Caleb was in so much pain because of the muscle tears from a previous hamstring injury and the scar tissue. When that re-tears, it hurts way more. and then everybody was like he hurt his other hamstring in college? Yeah.

2:40:09PFT Commenter:I'm tired. I just want him to get healthy and get back and tread water while he's out. That's it. Find a way to win like a couple games in the next few so that when he comes back we could maybe be a 500 team and then let's pick up where we left off not counting the Vikings game. This would be a big one. Let's just pretend we pick it up from week one. Your defense might, I don't know, the offensive line of the Eagles Eagles, they don't look good. We don't have a pass rush. Yeah, but this is the best team to play for. Yeah, but we also don't have a secondary, really. Okay. Just make them be a quarterback.

2:40:43PFT Commenter:We got it. So a couple slow linebackers. Here's what you got to do. You have to limit the explosive plays from Saquon and then make Jalen Hurts be a quarterback. That's the key to beating the Eagles. I'm not going to agree to the second part. Don't let Saquon Barkley be really good at playing running back. Yeah. All right, we're going to stream it, though. So tune in. We'll stream it. we're going to have Mook and Connor Griffin will be there, maybe Cade as well, and then Eddie, Chief, White Sox, Dave, the boys. So we're going to stream the game. Excited to go. Excited for the opportunity to compete.

2:41:17PFT Commenter:That's really what it comes down to, right, boys? We're blessed. You get an opportunity to compete, you take that opportunity, and you compete. It's the best time of year. It's what you got to do. All right. Who's back of the week? Who's back of the week? Brought to you by Twisted Tea. Football season is finally here, and we've never been more ready for game day. We're bringing Twisted Tea along for the ride all season long. Twisted Tea is a refreshing hard ice tea made with real brewed tea and 5 % alcohol. The Twisted Tea Party Pack has a little something for everyone with original half and half raspberry and peach, whether you're tailgating at the stadium, crushing teas in your man cave or grilling out with friends.

2:41:51PFT Commenter:Twisted Tea is there to turn your day up a notch and make a good time a great time. We love Twisted Tea, the half and half, the original. It is the absolute best. Grab a refreshing Twisted Tea today. Keep it twisted with Twisted T. Hank. My who's back of the week is USA. Yeah. USA. USA. USA. USA. President's Cup this weekend in Chicago at Medina. We obviously had Scotty and Goddard up on last week. You talking about good guys, Scotty, and Beast Goddard up? Captain America. They're calling Goddard up Captain America. Yeah. He had triple beers. Yeah, he was triple fisting. and he was getting after it.

2:42:32PFT Commenter:A good guy, Scotty, too. Great guy, Scotty. Yeah. Yeah, his partner, which they – Scotty just got sent out. They put their worst player up against Scotty to basically just throw it to not – Right, to give up the point. To give them a chance, give up the point. So Scotty already was going to win that, but the guy who was playing, someone yelled in his backswing. He duffed the shot a little bit, and then Scotty conceded a 35-foot putt to him to make it even. and was yelling at the guy in the crowd. Nice. Good guess, Scott. I was there on Saturday, and I was thinking to myself how it doesn't happen more often at golf events that people yell at in backswings just because of the routing where you can be on the fairway of the 10th hole and then you're not paying attention to what's going on behind you, but what's going on behind you might be someone teeing off.

2:43:23So I wasn't super shocked to see that, but it is kind of crazy. It doesn't happen more often. where I don't think people are being like an asshole. Hey!

2:43:32PFT Commenter:That guy specifically felt like he was. Yeah, yeah. Well, how about the guy that drop kicked the ball onto the green? That was awesome. I'm shocked that doesn't happen. Wait, what was the ruling? Out of bounds. Ah, would have been cool if it played it. They should have played it. I think they should have let that stand. Because he didn't kick it as it sat at rest. The ball never stopped moving. The ball accidentally struck his foot as he was punting it. Yeah. I think as journalists, you guys got to get to the bottom of why America is terrible at team golf. We're not. We won. Yeah, we won. Again.

2:44:08We actually never lose this. I never apologize for winning. The singles part, we won. We were down going into singles. We were horrible in the alternate shot format. We had like one bad day. We were horrible in the alternate format shot last time in the President's Cup. Really bad in the Ryder Cup last year. We win the singles every time. Yeah. Terrible at alternate shot. Terrible at forces.

2:44:28PFT Commenter:What if it's maybe not an American problem? It's just alternate shot kind of sucks. Yeah. Like, as a format, it kind of sucks. Agreed. Yeah. That's not our fault. If you got to play it, the people you're playing have to play it. No, let's just get it. Let's stop playing it. Scramble. Yeah. Scramble. Scramble would rock in these events. Mm-hmm. No. Why? For viewing? No, it wouldn't for viewing. It would literally just be parties. It would just be birdies. Oh, no. It would just be a putting. You'd be showing up to a putting contest. Yeah. That would be the hard part. You're thinking about our scrambles.

2:45:03PFT Commenter:Our scrambles are fun, but their scrambles, they would never. It would just be a mini putt contest. And like mini. Yeah. I think it'd be fun. Why? Just try it one time. See how low they can go. But you. Yeah. It would just be like, hey, okay. This guy's got a eight footer. oh, this guy's got a four-footer to tie. They're just like crazy approach shots, though. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah, it'd be fun. I disagree. I think alternate shots are more fun, at least in that, from a viewer perspective, it's like more... You don't know what's going to happen. There's a bigger variance of things switching. But yeah, Jackson Koivin, 22 years old, stepped up.

2:45:50Beast. Basically won the match for America. It was good. It was good. It was good viewing. Exciting to watch all weekend. America should have won a lot easier, but at the end, we took it home. Yeah. It's coming home. This kick was insane. Insane. That's the thing. That was an incredibly impressive kick. It was a very good kick. That thing's coming in hot. You got to let that stand because that's just impressive. And he puts it right next to the hole.

2:46:23PFT Commenter:Yeah. Why didn't Scotty play yesterday afternoon? That was weird. Yeah, it was weird. Okay. He got a little snippy with the reporter. Oh, really? He had someone ask him. He's the best player in the world. Today's round, like, hey, what happened yesterday afternoon? He's like, oh, I just played today. You want to ask me about that? It was weird because him and Burns finally caught fire. And they're like, yeah, we're going to bench you. But Goddard up was awesome. He won everything. What a great comeback, too. We got our ass kicked. Was that Friday? Yeah, Friday was bad. Friday was just a bloodbath.

2:46:57PFT Commenter:Credit to Team USA for making it interesting. They did. Yeah. They made it kind of fun. Did you see maybe the handshake of the century? No. What a battle it was. I think it was Adam Scott against Donald Trump. Yeah, he got to do that. Hank, did you see that? Oh, yeah. Just like back, forth, back, forth. It was good. That's how men shake hands. Yep. No one wanted to give it up. Yeah. No one wanted to give it up. I got to tee off. I would love to continue this conversation, but I literally got to go. I really got to go play some golf. Please stop pulling on my arm. That's like you're like, oh, yeah, let's play some time.

2:47:36Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.

2:47:37PFT Commenter:Yeah, for sure. All right, we'll see. Okay. He just doesn't understand that's what's going to happen. Yeah. When you shake the T-man's hand, he's going to grab it. Yeah. He's going to pull it. He's going to pull it some more. He's going to do bop it with your hand. Yeah. Did you guys see the fully loaded F-16s flying over Chicago? Because Trump was there. Those are badass. They're like with missiles on each wing. You never see that. Yeah. It sounded like we were going to war on U.S. soil today. Yeah. We were whipping around. Yeah, we had the Vipers out, baby. They got to give a heads up notification on the phones.

2:48:08Yeah. Call out the F-16s. Yeah, look at that. Yeah, it felt like four AMRAMs, two AIM-9X Sidewinders. Damn. Yeah. You just say shit. Yeah, I do. called it. All right. PFT or who's back of the week? My who's back of the week is dingers and baseball, but more specifically roundup of dingers only. The league has ended today. And in first place, congratulations to Hank Lockwood. Thank you. Finished with 128 ding dongs this year. Second place goes to Steven Che. Yeah. 108 ding dongs. He beat me by one in the final week. I think I had a pretty sizable lead going into the final. Che ended up, he had 10 home runs this week.

2:48:50Big Cat, you had five home runs. According to Che's spreadsheet, he beat you by two. Oh. According to his, I don't know if that's inaccurate or not. And then it's memes. Memes, nice little last week there, 101 home runs. Nice job, memes. You fucking beast. Then Brandon Walker, 95. Myself, 91. He's a bum. He's a bum. Brandon's a bum. Jersey Jerry, 89. and second to last place Max Delente and ninth place by a considerable margin Zach you have finished with 76 home runs on the year well short of Hank's 128 mark

2:49:30PFT Commenter:so Zach you're going to be pitching to Stephen Che or Stephen Che will be catching you'll be pitching and then because we haven't done last year's challenge where you finish second and Stephen Che finished last Stephen Shea then will pitch and you will catch. Yeah, I'm looking forward to it. Yeah. Which part more? I don't feel good about catching or pitching, but probably catching more because I don't know if I can find the strike zone. Opportunity to compete. Those are always fantastic. We're blessed to have those. We can get you thrown around the plate. Yeah. You just might have to cover your face right after.

2:50:06PFT Commenter:Yeah. Yeah, it might be a little dangerous. But real baseball is back. Max, congratulations. Join the party. Let's go, Max. I didn't think we were going to do it. Yeah. I didn't think we were going to do it. Shout out the pods. Shout out the guys today. The guys today stepped up, finally. Any respect for Petko? Are you still... Yeah, that was out of hate. I was in a bad spot. You were going through it. Yeah, I was going through it all weekend. Yeah. So we'll be recording after the games on Tuesday and Thursday, if necessary. Max is streaming. Max is streaming. I'm going to stream Wednesday's game.

2:50:48PFT Commenter:Tate has a corn maze stream on Tuesday, so we're going to let people watch that, and I'm going to watch one game at home. I'm going to be streaming from the PMT account. What are you going to be watching on the iPad, or are you going to be watching on the TV? Yes, all baseball games by me will be watching on that iPad. Okay, and that's strictly because you won today watching on the iPad. We hadn't won in a week, and today we won on the iPad. What? I kind of liked it, too. How many of our teams, so the Phillies, the Red Sox, and the Cubs are all in. How many of our teams are going to make it to the second round?

2:51:20Two. I think two. I think one. I think two. I think the Red Sox. Two. I think the Cubs. The Cubs have a. I do not think the Red Sox. I think one of the Cubs or the Phillies will make it.

2:51:33PFT Commenter:The Cubs have a very. The Phillies are hot. The Phillies are not hot. They're 1-0. The Cubs have a distinct challenge of we're playing the hottest team in baseball. And then if we beat them, we're going to play the best regular season team in baseball. Also, shout out to Bregman. And then if we beat them, maybe the dynasty. Huge shout out to Alex Bregman for coming back. He might be Barry Bonds with just a broken face. It's insane. Four for four, two home runs today. That is a big... If Bregman didn't get hit by that ball on Sunday, I do think the Cubs would maybe be hosting a playoff series, the wild card series, because we just couldn't score runs against the Marlins.

2:52:13PFT Commenter:I'm excited. Playoff baseball. I'm a little bummed that the Cubs have to go on the road. 9 p.m. is a late start. But we got – wait, is it go – you have the first game, right? We're prime time. You guys are right before the Cubs. You doing any streaming this week, Hank? Good question. I mean, I guess you would Tuesday if you would like to. No, Wednesday. Or sorry, Wednesday if you'd like to. I'm sure the Cubs game will start while the Red Sox Yankees is finishing. Yeah. You come in. I'll be here. Aaron Judge. Aaron Judge is back. Yeah. Well, he said he wanted to. And then I just saw something today that's saying.

2:52:54No, he might not.

2:52:56PFT Commenter:Okay. Also, we should mention the baseball this weekend. and joseph verlander retiring did they charge was that a mound visit when his daughter went out yep it should have been it should have been it would have pissed me off if it wasn't that was pretty sick though the uh it was really cool was also sideways i was hoping the umpire was gonna throw her did you did you see las diaz who was the ump uh it was incredible he so for people who missed it joseph verlander was hurt all year he basically like should should not have like any other year he would have just not pitched because he was still hurt and he was like fuck it i'm gonna compress my entire uh rehab just so i can pitch one more game for the tigers goes out on sunday or saturday it was awesome his daughter comes out to take him out of the game and again that's i think that's illegal i wonder if she's getting a salary for being a manager but the best part about joseph verlander pitching this last moment he he deserved all this he's you know been a big part of baseball for the last 20 years las diaz the home plate um they ran out of uh abs i think in like the third or fourth inning he just was letting it fly it was awesome yeah he because i think las diaz is also retiring there were strikeouts that he was just like fuck it i'm just i'm punching this guy out it was like an old school all the way around i love that and the the catcher for the tigers that's dingler right yeah shout out to him uh he realized after about like five seconds that this was not an actual mound visit yeah and so he was like about to like have a conversation yeah and he's like oh yeah your daughter i guess she her being here means i'm not going to come out and talk to you about uh how many curveballs we're about to throw this next so i'll just step away yeah don't mind me and then and then max scherzer did the same thing in blue jays in his own way no touching moment where his daughter comes out or anything like that he just got to yell at uh the manager one last time to not pull him out of a game Which was so perfect.

2:54:55PFT Commenter:I think it was like the seven and two thirds. And the Blue Jays manager comes out. He just screams at him to get back in. And that's exactly how he wanted to go. That's what he would have wanted. Yeah. The end of an era for a guy like that. Baseball doesn't have any more guys like him. Dogs. Yeah. Dogs. Like guys who are, I'm going to pitch eight innings and shut you down. Dogs. And if you try to take me out in the eighth, I'm going to threaten to burn your house down. Yeah. I wonder. I feel like Scherzer might still pitch. I feel like he might not retire. He was really good last year. He paid so much.

2:55:32But I think he loves it to a level that you can't. I don't know. I don't know how a guy like that is able to just transition to just being a stay-at-home husband.

2:55:43PFT Commenter:He's just a psycho, and he loves baseball, and he loves competing. Opportunity to compete. he was uh try to pull it up oh here we go so i know that he he wasn't like incredible this year but he his last so today he pitched seven innings one run seven k's that's like the that's that's he basically did the 18th hole and hitting a birdie he's like i could keep i keep doing this what do you think about this rule if you retire at the end of the year and your team doesn't make to playoffs, you should be eligible to sign to another team for a postseason roster. I like it. But you have to retire. Never come back.

2:56:24That's the end. There's absolutely no takebacks. You're done after that season, but if he wanted to, he could join the Cubs.

2:56:30PFT Commenter:That would be really cool. Yeah. You could use him. Okay, my who's back of the week. I know we talked college football on Wednesday, but the Badgers are back. Huge win against Penn State. First time I've been happy on a Saturday in a very long time. It was awesome. The slow Lowest 70-yard touchdown. Jacob Harris, shout out. I was yelling at the TV, like, surely they're going to tackle him. They're going to get you. I couldn't believe it. The defense was so fucking good. They just shut Penn State down. Max, where is – you're not – like, I think you're over the loss, but where are the Penn State people in your lives, where are they at with Matt Campbell?

2:57:09PFT Commenter:Because that is his first Big Ten game. Lost it. Up 17-0. nothing with colton joseph is like a total roller coaster he's throwing a pick six he throws a pick but the badgers found a way are they like we made a mistake with matt campbell it's way too early okay it's it's what what no i was listening i was listening you're pointing no is it pointing whatever what was that i would never point at you why why did you react so what it's too i i believe that it is too early. Their best receiver wasn't playing in the game. That's true. That would have changed a lot. Matt Campbell was late to the game in recruiting.

2:57:53He was late to be hired at Penn State. It's obviously not a great start, but it's too... I don't think you're pressing the panic button yet.

2:58:01PFT Commenter:What happens if you lose to Northwestern on Friday? That would be worse. Why are you being so weird about this? I'm raising my hand. I was trying to get you to put the camera on Hank, who was just asleep on the couch. I was not asleep. Oh. I was going like this. Oh. Yeah. But I have a question for you, though. I was not asleep. Okay. I have a question for you. Would you be panicking more about Penn State if it wasn't Philly's playoff season? That definitely, yeah. And your brain wasn't also thinking about the birds. I was definitely, that game ended as. You got Monday Night Football, which you're focused on still, because it hasn't happened yet.

2:58:39And you got, yeah, the Phillies. I was definitely more invested in the Phillies game than I was Penn State game at that moment. Yeah. If that's what you're asking. Yes.

2:58:50PFT Commenter:Either way, I was just happy to finally get a big win. It was awesome. Happy for Luke Fickle. He's, you know, it's been hell. It's been hell watching the Badgers play football for five years now. And that was the first Saturday where I was like, oh, my God. I woke up on Sunday morning. I was like, did we really win that game? It's fucking. It was sweet. Sports can be fun sometimes. That's why you lift all them weights. All right, Zach, finish us off. Who's back with this week? It's going to be Steph Curry. Steph Curry decided to stay with the home team, boys. Oh, yeah. Two years, 116. There was some speculation he wasn't going to do it, but now he's locked in.

2:59:24PFT Commenter:Locked in. Never. One jersey guy. I guess also piggyback off that another NBA quick one, Jalen Bronson, because he reminded everybody that New York Knicks are champions by hosting SNL. Quick reminder. Oh, that is a reminder. Also, staying in the NBA. A lot of guys were forgetting. Yeah. Staying in the NBA, did you guys see that Chet Holmgren is ready for Wembe Niyama this year and for everyone else, he gained weight in the offseason? Two pounds. Yeah. He went from 213 to 215. Beast. Huge. Wait, wait. He weighs 213 pounds? No. No. He weighed 213 pounds. He weighs 215. No, but you're saying he weighed 213 pounds?

3:00:03He used to weigh 213. He now weighs 215. That's so incredibly light for him to have weighed 213 pounds. Thank God he's beefed up.

3:00:13PFT Commenter:Yeah. Yeah, it's pretty fucked up to think about how, like, I think. How tall is Chet? Seven feet? Yeah. Is he taller than that? Yeah. 215 is like, I would still, I think, maybe be obese, but I would be like a healthy looking. It'd be like if I weighed 100 pounds. He's 7 '1". Yeah, that's crazy. 215. This is 208. At one point, he's 208. No, no, no. He's 215 now, though, Max. My boy's gotten big now. Do you think Chet was just sitting at home, just being like, I don't want to drink another smoothie. I don't want to eat this ice cream. I feel so fat. I'm 215. You think he just weighed himself at nighttime one time?

3:01:04Yeah. How do you not be able to do that?

3:01:05PFT Commenter:Like, after the day? I never understand when people are like, I need to put on weight. That's the easiest thing in the world. It's not. Yeah, it is. It's not. Just eat. It's not easy. Okay. Well, fuck you. Anyone who struggles to put on weight, I'm just so jealous. I'd be so good at putting on weight. Yeah, dude. If someone was like, hey, you, you got to put on 10 pounds. Okay, no problem. Oh, man, that was awesome meals. Yeah. Give me a day and a half. I got this. Yeah, I think he just weighed himself one day before pooping. Yeah. And he got bulked up a little bit, you know, ready to hang and bang in the low post now.

3:01:442.15. He just got his shoes on. Yeah. It's crazy.

3:01:47PFT Commenter:He left my wallet and my jeans. Oh, man. All right. Good job, guys. Good show. Week three in the books. Great week of football. Yeah. Great week of football. Monday Night Football. Tune in the stream. Ready? Numbers? One. Three. Fifteen. Problem is memes hasn't guessed three in so long that I can't even say. That is still your number, is it not? Eh, who knows. Twelve? Your number you've never gotten. Three has popped up, and I have gotten it. On this machine.

3:02:58PFT Commenter:57 Nope One more? Yeah, sure. No one's going to get it.
