And why don't you know it? Double Monday night football action. Oh, I love it. I love it. Give me all the football. Give me all the football. This is a homer risky podcast. It may not have always showed it in the stat sheet,

but you can see him making throw. when he needs to make the throws. Back-to-back games where he has three touchdowns. Someone's got to get that six or seven spot. He's an elite wide receiver as a rookie. Truly a lose-lose scenario for both sides. Welcome to the Fulmaruski podcast by Power 8018 Radio and Secret Weapon Consulting. He's C.J. Medeiros.

I'm Chris Gostitch. Got a good one set up for you today. Week six of the NFL tonight. the Giants and the Eagles will be taking each other on in MetLife, Jackson Dart, first prime time game against a Eagles team that, well, that's an Eagles team that's going to be looking for more offensive production. And actually, finally, so if you watch the podcast on Tuesday or listen to it, I should say, because we've been having some editing issues, to say the least,

which is why there was only 26 minutes of video podcast from this past week. But the full episode is still up on Spotify, Spreeker, Apple Podcast, I-Heart Radio, and so much more. Friends over at Squawking Eagles, when we were recording on Monday, sent him a quick DM, just wanted to get their opinion on Kevin Petulow and the whole. a.J. Brown, Devontas Smith situation from the Diane and Rucini report that came out

on Saturday, last Saturday, I should say. The fate, I quote, the fate of the Eagles offense and Kevin Petulow's job security will come down to one thing. Can he finally figure out how to consistently unleash the potential of A.J. Brown and

Devontas Smith along with Seekwan. That's another thing that people forget. Ending the quote real quick. It's another thing that people forget is that Saquan is also on pace for like half of the yardage that he's supposed to be on from last year. Restar quote, if the frustration continues, it won't be solved by just drawing up a couple of extra plays each week. It will point to a deeper flaw in the team's offensive execution that requires a much more significant overhaul. But Tullo is walking a tightrope, burdened with the difficult task of balancing the demands of his head coach,

passionate fan base, and two of the most talented yet vocal players on the roster. So we'll see how that comes into play later tonight as we are currently recording about four hours before kickoff right now. And then later on the show, we'll give the little recap of the game. Long short, kind of depends on how that game turns out. But, I mean, CJ, you want to say anything about what our friends at Squawking Eagles had to say? it's so weird that the eagles who you know they're four and one they're in relatively good shape are this unhappy and it's also weird that it's rightfully so you know usually when you have scenarios like this you often think to yourself oh my god you know the fan base is just

whining right you know they they want everything to be perfect not everything can me perfect but it's just really weird you know like that that's really what it comes down to it's just a really really just weird little scenario where even though they're winning the offense just doesn't pass the eye test and yeah obviously it's because of patulo i mean they lost kelemora's OC and we've seen this before whenever philly loses an office offensive coordinator for the next year, they kind of flounder, they struggle. Like, remember when they lost in Kansas City and in the Super Bowl? And then afterward, Shane Steichen got hired as head coach.

Yeah, the next year, their offense ground to a halt. And it's just the same thing again. They might, maybe Seriani's coordinator dependent, maybe, maybe not. I'll let you guys at home debate that. But something has to be done because, uh, a lot of times these internal promotions like Petula was because he's friends with Nick Siriani, a lot of times it just don't work out. Yeah.

Yeah. Kind of like draw on mail, right? Mm-hmm. It didn't work out. But yeah, we won't touch too much on it. I mean, and made this point on Tuesday's episode as well. You know, it's this was a bit of a gauntlet that the Eagles had. And the fact that they came out four and one is still a good sign.

And this was the first game, this Broncos game that they lost, was the first game in exactly a year that the Eagles had lost a game where Jalen Hertz had started and finished said game. So you can also make the point that, well, the Eagles might just be fine at the end of the day. I mean, are they fine, I guess technically, but. like I said, they remind me too much of last year's chief's team where they're not winning due to game planning. They're winning just due to fucking Deuce Smakana, you know what I mean? Where every game's a goddamn nail biter.

Every game's down to the wire. Like, you are sweating it out. That's just not how it should be. It's not sustainable. Hell, Kansas City learned it last year. Did they not? So for really, like I said, I genuinely think that loss is good. It's going to force them to reevaluate things.

hopefully they learn for their sake hopefully i'm not convinced they will but hey hope springs eternal if you're an eagles fan i'm not but i imagine it does for them kind of yeah all right risky game of the week jaguars and sea ox who would have thought who would have thought this would be an option for game of the week for us huh i mean jaguars who would have thought they would be for them. I mean, the NFC South sneakily has like two of the, you could argue two of the best

teams in the conference. Both the Colts and the Jaguars being four and one. It said that's on Tuesday's episode too. Like this is a Jaguars team that, you know, I feel like this is a team that's starting to finally figure it out. Like that Monday night game against the Chiefs, they never

win those games. They never do. So the fact that they came out, and won that game. And that's a game that the Jaguars will always lose and the Chiefs that will always win, and it flit. So that's when you know that things are going the right way. Seahawks, tough loss against the bucks last week. Do I think it's going to hurt them immensely?

No. This team that still has a good defense at the end of the day. Sam Darnel has been playing still some. I think that the questions on if Sam Darnel would still be able produce in Seattle like he did in Minnesota have gone away. Like Sam Darnel's producing, JSN is shown out to be a top 10 receiver in the league right now.

Cooper Cup is still doing his thing. Jaguars, Brian Thomas had a solid day or BTJ and Travis Hunter made some really big plays in the win or to help them get to that win. and Trevor Lawrence starting to finally see what he was supposed to be

this entire time. We're finally starting to see Clemson T. Law at his best. But CJ, what's your pick? Well, we are seeing

Clemson T. Law again. And we knew they had potential. And like I said, all it took was coaching because Doug Peterson, he's a bridge guy, you know. Urban Meyer was never going to get it done, even from the jump. We all knew that. But now you bring in an actual real, like, legitimate, proven offensive mind in Liam Cohen. Well, yeah, obviously, that's going to work.

But what I'm looking at first Seattle is injuries. So one of the reasons they lost. the only reason, because, you know, the Bucks had their fair share of injuries, too. We all knew that. Devin Witherspoon, Julian Love, and DeMarcus Lawrence all didn't play last week. And that's, you know, your starting safety, your top safety, your corner one, and one of your best defensive linemen. According to Seahawks' website, while they remain out, there is, quote, positive progress and I feel like some of them might be game time decisions I wouldn't expect all three to play but I am expecting at least one if I had to hedge my bets probably Witherspoon

because they need him out there and when I look at the Jaguars my question is you beat Kansas City that's that's impressive now I mean to beat them the way they did but can you do it again You know, there was some weird tomfoolery going on down there. You know, and I'm not saying it was a fluke. I'm not saying they got bailed out. I'm not saying any of that. But you've caught lightning in a bottle. Can you do it again?

And the Seahawks are a similarly tough test. Because, well, their defense isn't as good. At least statistically, their offense is better. This is one of the NFL's big, you know, high-flying offenses. You know, Jackson's. and Jigba is looking like a stud. Cooper Cup, come on, it's Cooper Cup. We already know what we're getting there.

Tight end, A.J. Barner already has like four touchdowns or so on the year. You got to, when you talk about the Seahawks, you got to give A.J. Barner some love. You just have to. And that two-headed monster in the backfield of Kenneth Walker and Zach Charbonneigh, that's just brutal. And Donald is conducting the offense fairly well. unfortunately that pick did doom them but hey and four passing touchdowns outside of that i don't think you can really hate that so at the end of the day i think it's going to be the seattle offense

versus the jacksonville defense that's what's going to come down to and as a result i'm going seattle i will lean seattle on this one because i trust their offense more than i trust the jacksonville defense and the seattle defense is banged up but I'm going to need the Jacksonal offense to step up again. I like it. I'm going to go opposite of you on this one. I'm going with the Jags for this week. And I'm going to have to say my main reasoning is going to be the injuries on defense.

Well, I'll read them. You already listed most of them, but let me give you the real progress. Ernest Jones did not practice Wednesday. Julian Love did not practice. Devin Witherspoon did not practice. Tarek Willan turned in a limited practice. DeMarcus Lawrence did not practice. Nick Eamon Worry, limited participant. And Derek Hall did not participate.

All bad signs. And feel like if you're not like, at the very least, if you're not practicing Friday, that's usually the telltale sign you're not playing that week. But give me the Jaguars. His team's hot. I feel like the Seahawks are a little bit down and dumps, especially with those defensive injuries. Give me the Jags offense doing what, not exactly what the Bucks offense did, but

give me the Jack's offense having themselves a day this week. And, you got something you want to wait to just. Looks like you want to say something. No, no, no, no, no. I was just thinking about it. I was going to mention that Adam and Tuck agree with your pick, so it looks like I'm lone wolf in this one. Seahawks are favored by one and a half, over under 47.5.

All right. NFL London, Jets versus Broncos. Broncos. Broncos. I do have a question, though. Yeah. We don't really need to belabor the point, obviously. Yeah.

But there is one question. What's that question? Aaron Glenn was one of the hotter coaching prospects last off season, right? Yeah. We thought it was a good pick. And if they lose this game, obviously, they're going to be 0 and 6. they'd be the last winless team in the league. If things keep going, let's just say they only get like two, maybe three wins on

the season, is Aaron Glenn going to be a one and done? No. Or do you give him another year? I give him another year because like the team that he has at hand is absolute dog shit. I mean, yes, but, but Brees Hall and Garrett Wilson, your two offensive studs literally don't do anything until garbage time. To my knowledge, I don't think the defense. has even forced a turnover.

Well, that's unacceptable when you have guys like Quinn and Williams, Quincy Williams, Jamie and Sherwood, Sauce Gardner, Will McDonald, that one safety, whose name escapes me, among others. I still just think this, the Jets are just dogshund. Like, you know, they are. I'm not forbidding that. I'm not. Like, you look at the offense, and it's like, no wonder, Brice Hall and Garrett Wilson,

don't do anything until garbage time, because all they do is, like, you're basically betting on the Jets to have 200. yards rushing at the end of the day. Yeah. I mean, that was what the report said. They were going to be run first, but even so the run game just isn't going anywhere.

Exactly, because the whole team is shit. Yeah. Like, you could you could basically like, I mean, I know I get it, but it's just the heart is fading. You know, Aaron Glenn,

I mean, I don't blame him. I actually don't. I think he's got a lot of part but it looks like the team is just like when you go out there and you watch them they're not that nasty defensive punching the mouth team anymore they just look so over it and that's alarming for when we're going into week six they're just the effort just isn't there yeah oh excuse me yeah no i mean well the effort's not i don't know i don't know if i can really say that because they are in a lot of these games they are but like i'm not an expert but a lot of it's just body language i mean that's what it is

they are doing the typical pose of like okay like they're just kind of resigned you know you know like yeah team make a mistake they you know they yell they get mad they it's like oh you know you know blur it out and expletive but these guys think they just they make a mistake they just kind of slump their shoulders and saunter back to the sideline kind of like what i said about Bryce Young not too long ago. It's just, I don't know. I like Aaron Glenn as a coach, and I think he can be a good coach, but I don't know. There seems to be a disconnect between what he wants and what the players are doing. I think that the problem you're looking at is more from this last game because they did get the brakes beating off them at home against

the Cowboys, and it wasn't even game by, like, beginning of the third quarter. because I and maybe Buffalo too I'd have to watch that back but like I just feel like you can't say that when three of the five games first five games that they played were one score games like especially like if you're a Jets team going up against Cowboys right like let's just take that for example it's hard to not like be so down in the dumps because you're out like you know you're going, you're losing the game, you're going to lose the game. There's no way for you to come back into this game. Like, obviously, you've got to show some sort of better body language for that, but keep fighting. But it's understandable at the end of day because there's no hope. But, I mean, for the Jets' sake, all right, I'll take.

I'll take for this game. This morning, my buddy Donovan, he texted me and our buddy, for our game pick like our one pick because I guess he does this survivor league for his girl uh either with his girlfriend or he makes the pick for his girlfriend and he texts us and it's like all right like I'm feeling either the broncos or the Eagles and I was a little for both I was a little uh I didn't really know what to say for either one because I felt a little weird about it like for some reason I felt like this could easily be a game where the Broncos could come out flat

because Jets are last unbeaten team right now and they're still hungry for a first win and the Eagles haven't been looking great giants are hot well not hot they just lost to the saints but divisional games can always be weird London games can always be weird so I sit like if you're going to do anything Go with the Broncos, but part of me says, do with caution. Part of me says that. I don't know. It's a gut feeling.

Maybe I'm wrong by the time noon time comes around on Sunday, but I don't know. All right. We're going to take a quick break. When we get back, we're going to get into the early, the rest of the early afternoon slate. This is the Fulburwski podcast. It may not have always showed it in the statute, but you can see him making throws when he needs to the throws, back-to-back games where he has three touchdowns. Someone's got to get that six or seven spot.

He's an elite wide receiver as a rookie. Truly a lose-lose scenario for both sides. Welcome back to the Fulmaruski podcast, TC Jam, Chris. Let's get into the rest of the one o'clock games. I forgot to mention this. Teams on the pie this week. Only two teams, surprisingly. It's Minnesota and Houston.

All right. Colts and Cardinals. Colts and Cardinals. Colts are favored by seven and a half, overrunners, 46.5. Colts. Colts by a million. I think there's a,

I'm pretty sure there's a chance that Kyler Murray isn't even going to play. He didn't practice today. Yeah, I know he's banged up, but even still, even if he is there, then what? Then what? They lose by 21 instead of 24. Yeah.

I mean, that's the way I see. And look, we could debate whether or not the Colts are real. If Daniel Jones can keep this up, but they're going against the Cardinals. And the game we saw last week where they were playing the Titans and they completely collapse. You know, you had another one that like fumbles before cross. in the goal line and that weird interception turn fumble for a titan's touchdown that's the kind of shit that's a morale killer yeah that the kind those are the kind of plays that even though it was week five that's the kind of stuff that can like doom your season yeah no for sure i i agree

with that so yeah and honestly jonathan ganon see is starting to get a little warm and i would not be shot if the organization is losing patience with Kyler Murray. I know I would be. I would 100% be losing patience. You say a lot of bad about his arm strength and his running ability. He's just not a leader. I'm sorry. He isn't. And

give me the Colts. Like, in the words of the immortal Christopher W. Kostich, that's you. Colts by a million. Yeah. Chargers Dolphins. I see this as a massive get-right game if you're the Chargers. Absolutely. You are going to be down.

And Omari in Hampton, though. So it's Hayden Haskins or is that? Hassan Hans. Ashton, Askins. Thank you. And Kamani Vidal. It all just called up from the practice squad. Well, it was called up from the practice squad last week,

but they just signed them to a actual contracts. Let's see either yesterday or Tuesday, I forget. but those are going to be your two backs should you be worried no you should not be worried because Miami's run defense Miami's defense is ass Miami is ass look the offense look good against the Panthers yeah and got a hand it you know Darren Waller first two games back after retirement got to hand it to him But I don't know how much longer that's going to last. So, yeah, give me the Chargers, get right game.

All signs lead to L.A. Bolt out. I'm also going with the Chargers here. Yes, I know their offensive line is among the most injured in the league. Yes, I know that they're down RB1 and two. But this is more about Miami being back. now the only time two is looking good is when he carves up these awful defenses and oh my god you hung three touchdowns on the panthers how do you do it how did you do it

they still lost by the way and uh for the chargers i just want to see herbert air it out and pick that Miami defense apart give me the chargers i like it pats and saints Pat's and Saints. Here's a stat that I think you will love, C.J. Okay. From Ben B. Baldwin, PFF data after this week of football.

It's a true pass set grade for every single team in the league. You know where the pats are? Do you know where the paths are? In true passing, where? Fifth. Oh, nice. In terms of true pass-set grade, like pass-blocking, not like the past game as a whole. Not passing.

I'm not past blocking, yeah. Yeah. Rated 62 for tackles, 58 for guards, 62 for centers as well. Do you know who's in, you want to know who's in sixth? Who? The Titans. Huh. Their tackles are shit.

but the interior is good that's like they they have the highest like their guards have the highest uh true pass sec grade in the entire league which i don't understand but me neither but may and ward i think are the most sacked qbs in the league so yeah would make sense um that's i don't That's currently the weakness for the Pats right now, but if you look at their grade, it's, or just the three grades for the linemen's, or the lineman position, it's all very similar. It's 62, 58, 62, so. Fair enough. But for this game, it's going to be in the big easy, which is notoriously difficult to play in. And the Saints defense is, I think, one of the more slept on units in the league.

but I still have to go at New England here. I think they're going to keep riding the high that you're going to New Orleans are going to handle their business. You know, Drake, Mance, Defon Diggs, you know, I think they're going to keep it going. And for the love of God, can they play Trayvion Henderson? Like, I said this earlier in the year,

and unfortunately, my prediction is coming true. I said, Josh McDaniels has a really nasty habit of redshirting his rookies. I mean, that's always how it's been. Even when they're, like, picked in the first three rounds, he rarely plays them because, you know, he values them sitting on the bench more. Well, I'm sorry. Why did you draft Trayvion Henderson early second round as a really highly touted running back

prospect just to sit him? That doesn't make sense. It's not right. And like the reason why they have to at some point. Like they genuinely have to. And the unspoken reason is that he's not a good pass blocker. Okay, so he's a running back. Yeah.

Or if you want, if you want a block. or in the backfield, then put the goddamn fullback out there. But it's like, oh, he's not a good path. Yes, I know you have to be able to pass block if you're a running back in the New England scheme. But come on. Literally just, that's all I have to say. It's just

come on. That's such an archaic way of thinking. Regardless, I'm still going with New England because New Orleans, that's just a team. Hey, they're fighters. They have no quitting them at all. They like to make it close, but I just don't really trust Spencer Rattler at all.

Yeah. Hey, coming off their first win of the season, and good for Spencer Radler for finally getting that goose egg off the board. But, yeah, give me the Pats all day. Pats by Bill. Win like that against Buffalo can only mean good things, or should mean only mean good things. So that's where you're hoping for. All right, Cleveland and Pittsburgh. So this was the big storyline from this week, Joe Flacco got trades at the Bengals.

and then there's another trade too between the Browns and the Jaguars where Browns and Jaguars swapped cornerbacks. So that was fun. And names are escaping me at the moment. I think it's Greg Newsom and Tyson Campbell. Probably.

I'm just looking right now. Where is it? But, In terms of this game, oh, yeah, Tyson Campbell and Greg Newsom swapped. So Tyson Campbell to Cleveland, Greg Newsom to Jacksonville.

So, yeah. Brown Steelers. Steelers are favored by five and a half points in Pittsburgh. Dylan Gabriel, start number two of his NFL career. Sure, Sanders is now QB2.

Do you want to guess what the over-under for this game is? For the Browns and the Steelers. 39.5. Just missed it by a point, 38.5. Oh, my God. You might as well set the line to 30 and a half, though, because this could be interesting.

Pittsburgh coming off the buy, though. So we'll reset for them. Interested to see how much they were. Kenneth Gainwell in the system this week as well, especially after his big outing against Minnesota in Dublin. So see how everything plays out with that. This is going to be a slob or not. I think that's going to be a very fair thing to say.

But I'm interested to see how Dylan Gabriel does against a terrible past defense for the Steelers. I'm very, very interested to see that. Especially since he didn't play bad against the Vikings. The Browns put up 21 points against the Vikings last week. Yeah. Or it wasn't 24.

Wait, did they put up? Yeah, they put up 21. I was looking at the Steelers schedule still. That's why I said that. but um but yeah it wasn't like dylan gabriel had a bad week last week yeah Dylan Gabriel was a pretty solid um it's one of those things where like i said when he came out of the draft he's he's a game manager you know that's what he did you know he came out i mean even though they lost he looked fine managed the game he took what the defense gave him uh the deep ball is still a concern

like the way he had to like just really put his whole body into any ball that went past 20 yards is actually really concerning the Pittsburgh pass defense is terrible so maybe that cancels each other out I don't know but that front seven that's going to be something to deal with especially since the Brown's O line is terrible like you said it's going to be a slob knocker it's just going to be ugly capital ULG Y ugly yeah and I think the home field van is going to help Pittsburgh a lot maybe if you were in Cleveland I'd be more inclined to go your way but I am going to have to go with Pittsburgh right here because I trust Aaron Rogers a little bit more yeah looking for the Browns to do better on third down

went 3 for 15 last week uh interesting to see how quenchon Juckins does as he's basically taking over RB1 had 110 yards rushing last week. So interest to see what kind of rookie action

we get for Cleveland in terms of that backfield. Carolina and Dallas. Two teams coming off of a win. Carolina,

seemingly like they have a little bit of life again. Rico Dattle is probably most is most likely going to be

taking RB1 reps again because status of Chuba Hubbard is still unclear no CD Lamb for the Cowboys again

for another week or two it's in Charlotte Dallas favored by three and a half over under 49 and a half kind of stuck on this one

kind of stuck on this one I don't know why I don't know why like it feels like it it feels like it should be Dallas right it feels like it should it does but like there's also something in the back of my mind that's just like

hmm it's also something in the back of my mind it's just I want to pick the Panthers I want to pick the Panthers maybe it's because you know Cowboys' defense's ass And seeing what the Panthers are able to do against bad defenses

Kind of puts that in my head Question is though That's the big question Is there's this thing that keeps going on with Bryce Young He has a bad start to the game But then he's able to pick it up But that's if he's able to pick it up And when he does

Some fireworks happen Yeah, I'd say that And the other thing is, are they going to be able to get Rico Doudal going the same way they were against Miami? I say yes. I say yes. Give me the Panthers to get back-to-back wins. I think this is going to be a Bryce Young game. But when I say that, I do not mean it in the good way.

I think this is going to be one of those times where you need him to stand and deliver, and he sits and does nothing. Rico Dowdell going against his former team and the Cowboys, maybe they'll do what Jerry Wantson stop the run. I don't know. But I also don't trust the Panthers defense, which I thought would be better than it actually is. Dap Prescott, we all like to make fun of him, but he's kind of been playing lights out. this guy's been slinging the rock all over the field and he's I believe top five in MVP odds I was about to say sneaky MVP guy right now and say made the point before the season DAC has a number two a good number two is going to go off and he was going he was doing good

prior to CD getting hurt as well he was but yeah even with CD out it seems like he hasn't missed a step yeah George Pickens has stepped up nicely and able to keep his outbursts under control but overall I trust DAC more than I trust Bryce Young and that's why I'm going with the Cowboys because yeah congratulations you carved up the dolphins who are also terrible but now we're getting progressively more difficult and this is where I think the good feelings end yeah I mean I don't know

This also just has Dallas, like, sneaky loss written all over. Oh, yeah, no, it does. You know how the Cowboys are. I understand why. Adam picked the Panthers, too, but Tuck did pick the Cowboys. So we split on this one, it would seem. Yeah. Baltimore and the Rams.

Rams favored by seven and a half. Road favorites, I should add. Well, yeah, because Baltimore's, they're not. I know he's technically questionable. but they're not going to have Lamar Jackson. They said he'd missed two to three weeks, and this would be week two. The defense is still injured.

I don't, they can't get the run game going, which is very bizarre because it's Derek Henry. And even when they do get him in open field, he's fumbling, which is not a very Derek Henry thing to do. But on the flip side, what the hell's going on with the Rams?

They're dropping very winnable games. Like they're losing in shootouts, which is, you know, usually Stafford wins those. But I think this is a get-right game for them, even though it's in Baltimore, which is also a tough place to play. But Baltimore is just so injured and Cooper Rush is so uninspiring

that I have to go with the Rams here. Oh, yeah. It's Rams by a million. It's Rams by a million. By the way, Chris, Tuck picked the Ravens. Of course he did. I mean, I pick the Pats every week. He picks the Ravens.

so it's fine. I'm not bad about that. But, like, yeah, you, seeing how they just played against the Texans was dog shit, like, and the Rams are a way better offense than what the Texans have. And to go off of what you said about Derek Henry, it's not that he's not doing good. It's the fact that they don't get him the goddamn ball. They barely get him the ball. And, yeah, when you actually-

We never know more. yeah 15 carries for 33 yards last week like yeah there there are times where it's like all right well that's just not part of the game plan he hasn't hit over 50 yards rushing in three of his last four like the game against Kansas City he only got eight carries the game against Detroit only 12 the game against Cleveland a and the point that they were trying to make for the reason why he's probably going to get less carries this year is for it's basically load management right like that's basically the whole reason but what good is it going to do when you're one and four you're one and four what like give him the god that's your best offense player just give him the goddamn ball well that would be a question for harbaugh isn't it and i know i say this a lot but i'm going to say it again NFL fans, Ravens fans, anyone really who knows football in any facet? When the hell are we going to have a conversation about John Harbaugh? Because I'm going to be frank, it is long overdue. I don't care that Lamar keeps playing well. I don't care if they make the playoffs every year.

This is another team that just underperforms. And every postseason, they get to. their lunch taken by Kansas City or Buffalo. And this year, don't cry to me about injuries. You were looking not that great before that. Derek Henry still wasn't running well before that. You were still losing games before injuries. And hell, even when Lamar went down, you hear the Ravens fans crawl out from the harbor there in Baltimore and say things like, um, actually, we were going to win if Lamar stated, oh no, no, you were. The game was already lost when he went down it was late in the third quarter you were getting your ass handed to you

shut up yeah it should be over for harbaw and i think he needs to get canned yeah but knowing him he's just going to be like oh but the injuries that's why we were totally going to win it all this year no you no all right we're going to take a quick break when we come back we're going to get into the late afternoon games and sunday night and monday night football this is the It may not have always showed it in the staff sheet, but you can see him making throws when he needs to make the throws. Back-to-back games where he has three touchdowns. Someone's got to get that six or seven spot.

He's an elite wide receiver as a rookie. Truly a lose-lose scenario for both sides. Welcome back to the Fulmeroski podcast. He's C.J. Medero, I'm Chris Kostitch, week six late afternoon slate. And we'll start with the Toilet Bowl, the Tennessee Titans, and the Las Vegas Raiders. Two one-win teams. Only one will get their second win.

Raiders, favored by three and a half, over under, 40 and a half. This was the first time I feel like all year that the Titans offense against Cardinals that fourth quarter actually looked like something. It actually looked like something. I would say the overrunner should probably be like, about 35 and a half, 34 and a half.

I mean, I think it's a little generous. I would expect more points from the Cleveland, Pittsburgh game than I would the Tennessee Vegas game. I just would. But you also, the thing with the Steelers and the Browns is that they at least have, like, the Browns have a competent defense. The Steelers have somewhat of competent defense. These two teams don't have any defense.

And they don't have any offense either. And, you know, Gino Smith just force feeds turnover. the defense here we already mentioned this nine interceptions and across five games that's ridiculous it's unacceptable and oh my god to borrow the term you use this is a slaver knocker this is in the words there's another sports YouTuber you guys may have heard about there called urinating tree he is a term for games like this it's called tank bowl this is a tank bowl These are two teams that are going nowhere fast. You're playing for picks at this point.

So, yeah, Raiders, Titans. You know, God help me for saying this. I'm going with the Raiders here, or the Raiders, as Chris likes to yell. I like what he does. Rators. Yeah. Now, I'm going with the Raiders here just by virtue of, I trust Pete Carroll more than I trust that absolute glue eater there in Brian

Callahan. And, God, I feel so bad for Cam Ward, I do. But while Gino does turn the ball over a lot, the Titans defense is not very good. And I think Ashton Genty should have a good game. But for the Titans, no, just no. You shall know no kind of joy. You shall not know any sort of joy. So long as Brian Callahan remains your head coach. Give me the Raiders by I know the NFL isn't too. I've given by like a

quarter of a point. It'll be like one point it'll be like 1.25 to 1. All right. They're so bad it would break the rules of scoring. And that's just how it is. Look, that's just the way things are. I'm just the messenger. Fair enough.

Packers Bengals. Wait, Chris. You want to get your take maybe. Raiders. Pete Carroll, Raiders. Yeah, it's the Raiders. Oh, by the way, Adam and Tuck went Titans. I mean, you could

really go either way on this one. And it's not for any good reason. No, exactly. Bangles Packers. So this is the other half of the Joe Flacco trade, right? So Flacco gets trade to the Bengals,

which you don't really often see, a mid-season trade of quarterbacks like this start or at least one starter to the other team but of course Flacco also just got benched. I fear for Joe Flacco's life. I really do. I fear for him.

He's a 41 year old man that is basically been giving unintentionally the death penalty with what he has to deal with as his O line on top of the fact that he's got to deal with Michael Parsons, second time um but that's the other glory in all this is that joe flaco is already beaten the packers

once so he is going to try to terrorize the packers once again and all of green bay nation and every single one of those green bay fans that are stockholders in their publicly publicly traded team um here's a here's a fun stat for you Jamar Chase has more solo tackles than eight players, eight very notable players than the in the NFL. Would you like to know who those players are? I would, yes. Don't, don't tease me. Come on now. Jamar Chase has five solo tackles.

He has more tackles than Eric Armstead, Harrison Smith, Kenneth Grant, boy Maffay. Boy Maw. Moe Moefe. Boe A. Moppe. Minnesota legend. Put some respect on his name. And my bad. Matthew Judon. Jalen Carter. And Micah Parsons. Oh, my God. Oh, Bengals.

By the way, if you're Mar Chase fantasy owner, I should be getting credit for those, but I don't. He at one point was leading both teams. and tackles last week alone. Yeah, that's just the Jake Bryan experience, Bengals fan. Sorry about that. But I'm going with the Packers. However, a small, evil part of me wants to pick the Bengals because you may remember, Joe Flacco already beat them in Cleveland.

But since he's weird, because he has much better weapons. Oh, but the line is so much worse. It killed Joe Burrow. What that Bengals' offensive line is going to do to Joe Flacko, that's practically elder abuse. And but this time it's in the tundra. It's in Green Bay. Give me the Packers.

Don't get me wrong. I think, you know, Chase has got a touchdown in them. I think Green Bay's got their wicks in it. It's probably going to be like, I don't know, like 38 to like 17, 14, something like that. Yeah. Give me the Packers in this game. I think that Joe Flacko is going to be due to have a better passing game, even though he's been equally as bad as any other quarterback in the league.

I mean, there is a reason why he got benched for Dylan Gabriel. I don't know if the change in scenery is really going to change that, but I say Packers by a million. They're not going to let Flacco beat them again. Yeah, Stanford. Yeah. San Francisco and Tampa Bay. Two four and one teams and another awesome matchup where the Niners are still beat up.

And we get Mack Jones for another week. We get Mac Jones for another week. Look at the Tampa side real quick. Look at the Tampa side real quick. man I'm disappointed in the fact that Chris Godwin didn't take over as wide receiver one again granted he's still two weeks removed from recovering from his ACL tear but amika Igbuka

wide receiver one got Godwin is number two right now but once Mike Evans comes back he's probably going to end up being a three which is insane to say on top of that Kate Otton once you get Bucky Irving back, Tim and Rashad White and Rashad White had a really good game last week. Kate on had a solid game too.

Kate Austin, such an underrated tight end. There he really is. Yeah, he's at the very least a top 10 tight end. This offense is going to be straight nails. Straight nails. Baker Mayfield is an absolute killer. And that's all the reason I have to give. Give me the bucks.

But this is going to be a close game, though. Obviously, I talk about the bucks like they're going to blow the Niners out of the water. But Mack Jones has performed well in this Kyle Shanahan offense. He is producing wins while their actual QB1 is dealing with injuries. Now, Mac Jones is beat to shit himself. There is that. There is that. So I expect Tampa to be getting after the quarterback a lot this week, a lot.

But either way, give me Tampa in this one. You know, I'm also going Tampa here. And I know Mack Jones banged up, I think he's going to keep it close. That's more so just how the bucks roll, unfortunately. They're another cardiac team where, yeah, they're four and one, but it's really, really shaky. And because they're at home, I do tend to favor them a little more. And this is one of those games where I think that real high-flying bucks offense is going to really highlight the fact that Sam Fran is dealing with a lot of injuries.

And I think Mack Jones is going to go out there. He's going to make some plays. But I just think this is really where you start to miss, you know, Brandon Ayyuk. and Brock Purdy and Ricky Pearsall and whoever. I don't know if Pierceall's even back, but if he is, it's not going to matter. This is one of those games where, you know, if you were healthy,

you could probably win, especially since Tampa doesn't like to close out games to the very end, but it's Baker. It's literally just Baker. That's all I got. That man will, will his team to victory. Give me the bucks. Yeah.

Before we get into the primetime games, there was one other thing from the Packers game. I wanted to have you a guess. What's the spread for this game? Packers by, what are they favored by? 10 and a half. 14 and a half. Sunday night football.

I never guessed this. I never do. Sunday night football, Chiefs Lions. Lions are a wagon right now. We talk about the Colts. Lions are a wagon right now. You have to go to Detroit here. You really do.

And it's not even that I don't respect Mahomes and Reed and all them, even in KC, but that kind of loss to Jacksonville, where you have it, three costly penalties in the final two minutes, the fact how even like 13 seconds is too much time for Mahomes, the fact that they could not capitalize and they came out looking flat ever since, that, you know, they got the touchdown and then just completely got the win taken out of their sales. You have Chris Jones, Mr. 100 million dollar man making business decisions. That just doesn't bode well against a high flying lions team. And even if the chief's defense can give the lions some trouble, the chief's offense has been really hot and cold. I mean, Mahomes does have eight touchdowns through the first five games, but a lot of those are concentrated spurts, you know what I mean? Like there's a game he'll come out and just chuck it like he always does in the next game.

He just falls apart entirely and dies. Regardless, I'm going to have to, I got Detroit winning an arrowhead. I got Detroit as well. Chiefs are, I feel like, have definitely come back down to Earth a lot. They're making a lot of mistakes that the average teams make. They are not looking like the chiefs. chiefs that that is for certain um but the lions the lions are all that and a bag of chips there's no denying that give me Detroit Monday night football and God bless America we got

two count them two Monday night football games 715 Falcons bills bills coming off of a heartbreaking loss on Sunday night football to The Pats last week. The Falcons. Falcons had the buy. So they're coming off a buy. And before that, had a big win against Washington

after they got the shit kicked out of them against Carolina. In terms of this game, I'd say it's not get right, but this screams bills. This game does scream bills Like I don't see the Falcons coming away with a win here Defense has looked better

Pennix definitely had a better week Against Washington But I just like the bills more in this game I just do Especially with You know Josh Allen's career record on primetime games Besides a bat's game last week

but it's career record and primetime games is very good. And Pennix, curious to see how he does prime time at home. Because I don't think, have we seen that yet? I don't think we have. Not to my not. Wait, was the Vikings game in prime time? Yeah, but that was in Minnesota.

Oh, fair, prime time at home. Good point. Yeah. So that's kind of where I'm at with this. and Josh Allen is good. I think that they're going to get Josh Allen going more. Most importantly, they're going to get James Cook going more. I think that's going to be the biggest thing here.

And that's because she kind of got shut down against Pat's last week. So expect James Cook to be more involved in the offense. This. I'm sorry. Falcons fans. We still don't know what Michael Pennix is. I know he's shown flashes, but he's also had some really ugly games. And a lot of people are like, oh, he's got the sky's the limit. I would say pump the brakes. Like I said, we really don't know what we have when we look at him. So I have to go with the bills. And I think they're going to be playing angry after their

grip over New England has officially been shattered. Well, not officially, but, you know, it's not like one of those games like I said in the past where when New England won you can put an asterisk on it now Buffalo lost that fair and square and you know they don't like that and they're looking to march down to Atlanta and do what General Sherman did back in the day just raise everything to the ground elite history reference if you get it but if you don't learn ball I guess I don't know but for Buffalo yeah that's definitely what I think's going to happen And I think Atlanta, I think it's going to be one of those games where they start out sluggish and they're probably going to heat up like third quarter, but by then it's going to be too late.

I think Atlanta is going to get their shots in. You know, if you're a Drake Leonard or Bijan fantasy owner, don't worry. But if you're doing pick them, pick Buffalo. Yeah. Second Monday night game, Commander's Bears, rematch of last year. The first time that these two teams have played since the Jane and Daniels Hail Mary game. and guess what this game's in Washington again bears coming off a bye um Washington coming off of a big 27 to 10 win against the Chargers this was a weird

the commies game against the Chargers last week was weird it's very weird like this was a sluggish game that that Washington didn't take full control of until Justin Herbert's goal line interception. And maybe that just goes to show that commies are going bend don't break. But especially, yeah, it was Jay and Daniels first game back from injury, but you would have expected a lot more. Granted Chargers also have a good defense.

Bears start to pick it up a little bit. bit, but I think if you're the commanders, you need a good, would you say that the commanders win last week against the Chargers was a convincing win? I would lean that way, yes. I guess I'm looking for something that doesn't lean that, and more guarantee of, or more of a definitive, this is a convincing way, you know what I mean? that's kind of what I'm looking for this week from now. Yeah, and I think we're going to get that.

I do have the commanders, just the bears are still, still stuck in that limbo. I mean, they look fine sometimes, but other times they just get their doors blown off. And I don't think they're about to march into Washington and win, especially now if they're reinvigorated with the return to Jaden Daniels. Especially after that Chargers offense got held to like 10 points. Yeah. so yeah i i i am going with the commanders i have to and i think now that daniels is back they're going to start cruising again yeah like beer the bears are in this weird spot where they're gonna like i feel like that they're just more average at this point they're not the bears

from last year but they're i think they're they're at a point where you would consider them average right like they won by two scores against dallas They also got, they also lost by 30 to the lines. They also squeaked away a one-point victory against the Raiders, too. But Raiders on the road. I don't know. This Bears team's just too weird for me at the moment. They're two and two.

And like you said, CJ, I'm still puzzled on where exactly the Bears are going this season. I know exactly where the commanders are going this season. giving the commies. All right. That is our week six NFL game picks. We're going to take a quick break when we come back. I'm going to get, do a little recap of the Eagles Giants Thursday night football game. This is the Fulburyski podcast.

It may not have always showed it in the stat sheet, but you can see him making throws when he needs to make the throws, back-to-back games where he has three touchdown. So one's got to get that six or seven spot. He's an elite wide receiver as a rookie. Truly a lose-lose scenario for both sides. Welcome back to the Fulmariski podcast. D.C. J. Madero, I'm Chris Costich.

Oh, oh, baby. Did we see something? Giants shocked eagles on Thursday night football. 34 to 17. Wow. Shocker. I mean, I loki kind of said it at the beginning of the show, though.

Loki kind of said, I got this weird feeling in my gut right now. And for some reason, it's the Giants and Eagles game, and it's the Jets and Broncos game. I don't know what it is. But I just feel really weird about it. And I ended up taking the giant spread in my pickums, or my other pickums.

And I even said take giant spread. And that hit along with the money line. But, boy, that was Jackson Dart was unreal tonight. Let's start with the Giants first. Then we'll get to the Eagles. But Jackson Darre was unreal tonight. Camp Scataboo was running like a goddamn madman. And CJ, you were starting up on Camp Scataboo, and I cut you off because I wanted you to save it for the show.

So I'm going to leave this Camp Scadaboo time for you right now. Cam Scadabu reminds me if Rob Gruncowski was a running back. You know, just maybe a little nuts. But, oh, God, if you're a defender, you see him coming, just say your prayers, you know, it might be the first player where CTE actually upped his game. he even throws me blocks too like you know it's all for the game so you're a defender trying to rush uh jackson dart and cam scadaboo's coming at you head first like the goddamn juggernaut from marvel i just oh my god you're like three touchdowns tonight too see that's the thing for

me look we all love jackson dart and everyone you know is talking about him and how he played But Cam Scataboo, 19 carries for 98 yards, that is 5.2 yards of carry and three touchdowns. Wow. That man just showed up and took no prisoners. Then, of course, Jackson Dart, 1725, 195 yards on a touchdown, not too shabby himself. Well, yeah. Oh, also 50-eyed rushing yards and another touchdown. But this was really the Cam Scataboo show.

that guy just Philly had no answers for him Like they were hitting him behind the line As a scrimmage and he refused to go down And when they And they try to stop him on the goal line And he ended up just maugging Zach Bond

I mean Bonn had a clear shot at him And Scatabooder said nah I don't think so Get out of here Bro he little boyed him Yeah He little boid him He little brodom

That's what it was He just said not well man Get off me Damn Stadaboo. What a legend. You know, he was one of my favorite running backs in the trap, but you already knew that. You want to hear this stat? I would, yes.

So he had three touchdowns. He is the most recent now. The last New York Giants running back with three rushing touchdowns was Tiki Barber in 2006 against the Washington Redskins. second running back all time now for the Giants to have three rushing touchdowns in one game three rushing that's that's the key here three rushing not three total three rushing uh Jackson Dart three third quarterback all time to have 50 plus rushing yards in three consecutive games he's now up there with Jalen Hertz and Lamar Jackson um boy he looked slippery

tonight he was making some big throws and he was creating a lot of space for himself to makes a lot of big plays like i was genuinely i was just genuinely impressed with the giants all together tonight um yeah first half was kind of a shit show especially the end and you and i were both you and i were both like what the hell is going on and like it started with brian dable's time out, like bailing out the Eagles from getting a delayed game. And it was like, Jesus Christ, shit like that is going to be what's, like, on top of the Daniel Jones, like, performing like a mother down in Indianapolis, like, shit like this is what's going to get you fired.

And then Philly goes and does the same freaking thing, essentially, or not really, but they had no timeouts left. So nine seconds to go. And Jillen Hertz, able to get down with nine seconds. But there's just no urgency. No urgency at all. It's like they just didn't plan for something if they weren't able to get the ball out of bounds. And it was terrible.

I was like, what the hell did I just watch? Terrible end of the first, to a very entertaining first half. And that's kind of been the story with Eagles this year. It saw in the second half. They didn't put up any points. and they were slow they looked bad Jalen Hertz

yeah he had 289 yards passing but he did not do or 283 pardon I don't this was not a great game like in Sequin Sequin was running the ball great

like he was like we talk about Camp Scatibu Sey won the ball really well as well but then they stopped getting on the ball because game started getting out of hand yeah This is just another game where the 2025 Philadelphia Eagles just forget how to play two halves of football. Look, Philly, let me explain this to you.

There's two halves of football. It's a 60-minute game. Each quarter is 15 minutes. Now, you can stack them all together. And like I said, you can get an hour, 60 minutes. Have you considered playing all that? They didn't score at all. And I'll give them a scosh of credit for the first half.

They kept it close. I mean, it was high-scoring or fairly at least for the first half. You know, it was 2017. And then they got outscored 14-0 in the second half. They did nothing. They just abandoned the run entirely, which I get it. I do. But if Saquan is moving the ball at all, then, you know, maybe you don't abandon it entirely.

You know, jailed hurt to that awful reception in the second quarter. that was pretty much it. You know, they set the Giants up and plus territory for that Scadaboo touchdown. So, yeah, that's honestly, like, my big takeaway here is just once again, other than Camp Scadaboo is an absolute menace. Once again, the Philadelphia Eagles do not play entire football game. And it gets the point where we've hinted at this before, but now I really have to say it. When might we, I don't know, consider firing offensive coordinator Kevin Petrullo? I want to be surprised if, I wouldn't be surprised if come Monday, they do it or even tomorrow maybe.

Yeah, they have to. And look, I know maybe I've taken a shot at Seriani by calling him coordinator reliant. But this is now a trend. Whenever Philly gets a coordinator poach, they start. floundering. Yeah. Like I said, it happened before, and now it's happening again, or at least Siriani. Yeah.

Jalen Carter being out for the Eagles did no favors for them either, because they were wrong. Jalen Carter, he's a big game record, but I don't know if that's going to save him from like a three-score game. No, no, definitely not, but it definitely would have helped the matter, is what I'm saying. like that definitely hurts but that was not the reason they lost this game but Philly 1 for 9 on 3rd down Giants were 11 for

6th they were almost automatic on 3rd down tonight back to Petulah though dude like I think the players are sick of them at this point because well we know Brown and Smith are I mean they're so upset yeah and

there's been like an instance or two where Jalen Hertz is like, I think, bickering with Batulow's well on the sideline. He's literally ignoring him. Like, he's changing the play calls. Yeah. So this is just an ugly situation right now.

And it kind of feels like similar to 23, right? When there was a lot of like, Jeline Hertz was starting to go a little rogue because he was disagreeing with the play calls and stuff like that. It was kind of similar, and here we are. And even the touchdown that they scored where they went four push pushes in a row. It was like they got the first down. They tried it again near the goal line.

And A.J. Brown just like throws his hands up and he's in the air. It's like, Jesus Christ, like, let's run something else. Like, I'm not trying to run a push for plays in a row. Like, get the point. This is a dominant, dominant play. and we're showing that we can do it if we really want to, but we really shouldn't be. Like at that point, you could just as easily

lined up in single back or goal line formation and just have Sequin running into the freaking six hole and you're good. Like, yeah, but I think you can definitely just see on the field that the players are just sick of it of the shit. but yeah i don't know just here the four tush pushes in a row just really pissed me off it just really pissed me off not because like uh it should be illegal or whatever it was just like this isn't fun to watch like now this is not fun to watch like it's fun like it's fun when

it's like fourth and one it's like all right here we go like it's fun like when it happens every now and then but then you run it four times in a row i just want to gouge my eyes eyeballs out um yeah so eagles are most likely going to be in early bottom three and we do top three bottom three on tuesday i'm hoping to oh never mind i was hoping to get a quote from our friends at squawking eagles and maybe a mental health check-in as well make sure that they're doing all right over there i can imagine their callers that have been leaving their voicemails for them throughout the games are going ballistic right now yeah i would uh i would think so i might have i mean i think that both sides are going ballistic you know it's a it's a darty in new york

right now you know i mean yeah jackson cam scadaboo you know they're happy but all in philly oh no forget climbing the light poles they're tearing them down now and our good friends at squawking eagles man just pray for them you know he's going through right now old mike's going through it man oh yeah it was a good day for me for fantasy wise because i had jake elli and he knocked down a couple kicks and also i had jackson dart as well on another league um and dallas goddard on my dynasty team and dallas goddard put up a nice number for me so it was a pretty happy with the fantasy output today.

Oh, Dallas, 26 points from Dallas Goddard. Nice. I'm going up against Jalen Hertz and fantasy, and he dropped 21. It would have been more, but then he threw that pick, so.

Herb funny-ish. But I did have Jake Elliott, too, so it is what it is. I need Justin Herbert to pull through for me here. Yeah. But yeah, that is our recap of the Giants and Eagles. There's a night football game Giants with the upset victory.

at home on Thursday night football. Anything else you wanted to touch on from the game? Not really. I mean, I really wanted to Tarant and Daibel for that time at the end of the second. That was only... They didn't hurt him. They literally didn't hurt him. So, you know, literally just no harm, no foul.

There is one stat, though. Okay. That's interesting, which is here's where I think you say what you want about dart and scataboo and the giant's defense putting belt to ass on philly but there is one stat that i think tells the story of the game okay third down efficiency the new yorkman went 11 for 16 on third down the eagles went one for nine and i'll grant you the eagles did go two for two on fourth down but one for nine on third down yeah you're not going to win jack against the giants or anyone else especially when you can't get off the field yourself exactly on defense that is of course

yeah giants how about it two wins and three starts now for jackson dart and that'll do it for us today thank you for tune into another friday episode of the fumblege's podcast new episode coming out on tuesday at eight a m um be sure to subscribe to our YouTube channel.
