All right, so we actually found out what the situation is with Stephon Diggs,
and he gone, maybe forever as a member of the Houston Texans.
What an, well, a somewhat eventful, far more eventful than like Ed Reed's tenure with the Texans,
but it's over at least for the time being because he's got a torn ACL,
so you lose Stephon Diggs.
You're going to get Nico Collins back in about a week and a half.
The problem is you don't have him for this game against the Jets.
So you have no Stefan Diggs.
No Nico Collins.
Shitty offensive line.
Going on the road.
You've been kind of living on borrowed time as it's been in some of these games recently.
Ruh-roh.
The best thing he's got going for you is the Jets stink, and maybe I'm dumb, but I still
look at Aaron Rodgers as a guy that could still have moments where he could torture.
It hadn't happened yet.
He hadn't really done it a ton to people since he's been with the Jets.
They're two and six.
But God, it sucks to go into a game like this
without two big weapons like that.
Now Diggs out.
Like, all of a sudden you go from Texans Super Bowl
to you got to do some shit to get better.
Yeah.
I'm just glad that the Colts switched to Flacco after Sunday's game
because we're already done with the Colts.
Oh, by the way, it's amazing.
And I think that happened. It was announced after I did the earlier podcast so like I've seen people that
are bitching their Colts people this doesn't help the team at all we're not going to the Super Bowl
anyway what a shitty way to look at things like you're four and four like are you gonna win the
Super Bowl no you're not gonna beat the Chiefs you're not gonna beat the Ravens you haven't
beaten the Texans you played them twice but like what a dipshit way to look at things.
Like, well, we just let them see what we got with Anthony Richardson. Go tell that to the other two
52 guys on the team that are trying to win fucking football games today, you know? And I would get it
if you were trying to tank to like get an all-world quarterback. We've already drafted a quarterback
early in the first round. He's your guy there.
And right now he sucks.
Like watch the guy play.
He stinks.
Maybe he'll be good at some point.
Maybe he won't,
but I'm watching that game on Sunday.
And I'm like,
every time that Anthony Richardson went back out there,
I looked at you and I said,
we would lose if they put Flacco in now,
would they have,
I don't know that,
but I felt it.
And now, like, if you were going to make a move like this,
why not just put Flacco in when you're still in the game against the Texans
and maybe steal a win and go to first place?
The fact that you kept just trotting this guy out there doing nothing.
Like, I want to say at one point he was like 2 of 15 or something like that
with one huge completion, and that was it.
And it's like, why?
Why do you make this decision now after you've already blown two games to the Texans?
After you had a first place game and lost that, like, what were you doing?
What were you thinking?
Richardson should have been on a short leash.
Maybe that short leash should have been when he was two for 14 or whatever the hell it
was.
But instead you're like, oh, now let's go to Flacco but with that said
the AFC with the way things are going four and four has you right in the mix you know we were
talking about the Bengals when we were out walking today and we were like well should I keep betting
on Joe or do you think they've given up they got three wins there are a couple of wins in a row
away from being right there in seventh they could be right there in the wild card. So a lot of teams that you would think ordinarily would be out of it
are like, hey, if somehow we win a couple games in a row, we're in it.
Bengals are that way, and I wouldn't sleep on those dudes
with Burrow and Jamar when they're going.
The Colts, and I don't think the Colts are any good,
but with Flacco, I think it changes the game.
Like, if you walked into a playoff game and you're the Colts
and you have to play the Colts.
So like the Chiefs get a bye.
The Colts, let's say they get in as the seven.
So they would have to play what the two, right?
The two plays the seven, three plays the six, four plays the five.
So if you get in there and you're the seven seed,
the Colts are the seven in this instance, and you are the Texans.
Say the Texans get the two.
The Ravens will probably get the two.
Correct.
But by the way, the Ravens have three losses.
The Steelers.
The Steelers.
But okay, let's say the Steelers.
So you've got Rusty Wilson and he's playing well.
Again, this is now in eight weeks from now, so who knows.
But Rusty Wilson's playing well and they look like a better team.
Najee has run for over 100, I believe, three weeks in a row now.
And two of those weeks are withy Wilson, because, oh wow,
you have a guy who's a threat to throw the fucking football and that changes the way people defend
you. So you've got Rusty and you, and you're a fan of the Steelers and you have to play a game
in the playoffs against Joe Flacco and the Colts or Anthony Richardson and the Colts.
Look, I don't think that the Steelers would be a massive favorite in that game.
It'd be at home.
I don't think that the Texans would be a massive favorite in that situation.
They've beaten them by like a combined seven points or something like that so far this year.
So, like, Flacco changes the game.
So, and I'm not just looking at just the Colts, but like imagine they get in as the seven.
So, this mindset that's like, well, we ain't winning the Super Bowl.
Probably not.
But you're also not going to suck enough to get a good draft pick anyway.
So if the argument is let's go six and 11 or let's try to go nine and eight and make
the playoffs, then go fucking nine and eight and make the playoffs.
You've already got your franchise quarterback allegedly.
So tanking does you no good.
Get in the fucking playoffs
that's why I don't understand what the Colts were doing whenever they had every opportunity to put
Flacco in and maybe make a couple of big plays like we saw him do last year with the Browns like
we've already seen him do this year with the Colts they didn't do it because they're fucking stupid
so if you want to make the argument that the Colts were dumb to dump Richardson so far the dumb move
was to do it now instead of doing it before the Texans game
when he would have given you a real shot to win.
Or at least the one play he came in because Richardson got quote-unquote tired.
At that point, you're tired to sit your ass on the bench.
There's your opportunity to insert Flacco, and I'm glad they didn't.
Well, I know, but here's the other thing about that.
They brought him in for one play, and I'm sitting there. I'm like I'm like why is he in and again it turns out that this dude is tired
but at that point I agree with you like all right well let's sit out the rest of the third quarter
it was a third down and long I think on that play so they just ran a draw and settled I'm like dude
I wouldn't let Flacco sling that shit like I mean it would have caught the Texans off guard right
Flacco comes in like what the fuck do we do?
Throw it.
He's the flacky man.
Why not?
But like the AFC is not wide open in the sense that anybody could win it.
Like, I think the Chiefs are currently, even though they haven't played well,
guess what?
They're 7-0.
So the Chiefs and I guess the Ravens, you would still put there.
With the injuries and what we've seen from the offensive line,
I don't believe that the Texans are a viable Super Bowl contender because I don't believe they're going to go in and
beat the Chiefs or beat the Ravens in a playoff game.
I don't buy that at this point.
Now, the offensive line gets better.
Secondary.
I think the secondary has done a somewhat better job of not giving up explosive big
plays.
And I know that's weird to say because they had a 70-yard touchdown against them.
That looked like a busted play.
It wasn't like, hey, you're stride for stride with this guy,
and he's making plays on you, and he burned you.
I just think that was a busted play.
So I watch them, and I say, defensively, they get to the quarterback.
They're disruptive.
But as far as the Texans go big picture,
I don't believe that they're a Super Bowl contender in the AFC.
So if there's only two Super Bowl contenders in the AFC,
what the fuck's the problem with getting into the playoffs and maybe upsetting someone? Well, if I'm the Colts, if I'm
the Bengals, you know what's fucked up? I think my, does Miami have two wins? Miami could win.
They're right there too.
That's what I'm saying. Miami could win two games and catch a couple of breaks. Like in the AFC,
other than, actually, I don't think there's a team in the AFC that you would look at,
at least record-wise, halfway through the season and say, the Titans, I guess, the Titans.
The Titans are dead.
But other than that, you look at this and you're like, all right, look at all the teams
in the divisions and look at all the teams in the conference, and you're like, we at
least have a shot to get in.
Miami only has two.
The Dolphins, the Patriots, and the Jets all have two wins.
Okay, let me take it back.
I forget that the Patriots aren't good anymore.
Patriots are obviously there.
The Titans are.
But the Dolphins with healthy Tua, and if they get their weapons,
there's no reason why they couldn't rattle off three, four games in a row.
And I know that's dumb to say after they just blew the game to the Cardinals.
But they could.
Like, two wins with how open the bottom half
or the back half of the playoff race is.
Dolphins aren't dead.
The Colts aren't dead.
The Bengals aren't dead.
The Chargers aren't dead.
The Chargers have to be punching themselves in the dick
for losing that Monday night game they lost.
I guess, did they lose that one to Arizona last week?
They have to be punching themselves in the dick for that
because they were right there. Because we're starting to see Justin Herbert playing better now he's starting
to sling it he slung it against the Saints uh he slung it against the Cardinals the week before
like they're right in it I also I don't buy the Broncos I know they're five and three oh I don't
buy them at all either but they have to feel like they're in it right now they still have to play
the Chiefs I believe twice so I think the Raiders may be out of it they are too but like even if they are
they could sell it to themselves that hey we're kind of in it you know like we went a couple
games here and there bada bing do they have two or three wins they have two okay so again when i
say that most of the teams in the bottom still think they have a shot to get in well you realize
that two wins is only two games behind
seventh place right now with half the season to go so and i'm just looking at it strictly from
this viewpoint of these dipshit fans with the colts who are like season's over anyway why don't
just see what we got we can't win the super bowl anyway guess what you've won it one time you putzes
so let's not act like you're the patriots or some dynasty organization that's won seven of them
that's like seven of them.
It's beneath you to make the playoffs.
Go make the freaking playoffs.
You've got your franchise quarterback for the next 10 years anyway, right?
So go out there and try to win.
Let Flacco try to win it. And try telling dudes like Jonathan Taylor, who plays a position that has a shelf life,
and generally speaking, a very short shelf life, go try to tell Jonathan Taylor that,
you know what, we don't really give a shit about winning right now,
so we're just going to keep trotting Richardson out there
because winning doesn't matter.
Now, if you're an organization that's trying to get your number one quarterback
and you go into it and you're tanking, and I get that's a dirty word,
but that's one thing.
If you know you're going to suck going into it, it's one thing.
The Colts are within, I think, I forgot what the final score in week one was,
like 33-29 or whatever it was.
They have lost to the Texans by a combined touchdown.
So as much as you want to tell me that the Colts suck
and that the Colts can't make the playoffs,
the Colts are seven points separated from the Texans,
who everybody before the last couple of weeks thought was a contender.
So if I'm a Colts fan and you give me Flacco or you give me Anthony Richardson,
I don't care what it does to fucking Anthony Richardson's mind.
And if it fries him, if so, then he's a pussy and get rid of him anyway.
You know, I mean, that's the AFC is right there.
They are a game behind and the teams are chasing are not exactly great teams.
The Bengals have had every opportunity this year, and they have fucked it up.
The Colts are actually ahead of the Bengals right now.
I know.
They have four wins.
The Bengals have three.
Who's in the seven right now?
I think it would still be the Colts because, remember, Pittsburgh is winning that division
six and two, and Baltimore is five and three, so they'd be in as a wild card.
Texans are winning the division in Kansas City, and Denver is five and three, so they'd
be in as a wild card.
And there's three wild cards, so I think I looked
at this earlier. The seven would be the Colts.
So, like, the idea that you're doing
a disservice to Anthony Richardson
for benching, he's doing a disservice to
you for playing like shit!
Like, I'm so sick of hearing about
how you're doing a bad thing for the player.
These coaches are coaching for their fucking jobs!
And it's not like they're 1-6 and they're making this move they're four and four they're
alive do i think they're better than the texans when all things are equal no but they're right
there with the texans in terms of record they could have should have would have beat them i
guess technically it's the chargers because they only have three losses okay fine but number of
wins correct so it's just a matter of who's had a bye and who isn't
and who hasn't, whatever.
That's fine.
And that's why I said the Chargers,
who a couple weeks ago you would have left for dead,
are kind of like, eh, Herbert's starting to sling it a little bit.
We have a chance.
So I don't know.
I just don't like that mindset.
I like the mindset.
Like, I'm a Saints fan, right?
We're 2-6.
We're going to fire the coach at the end of the year.
Derek Carr does
suck. The defense is monumentally bad. So the fact that they're 2-6, it's over. You're not coming
back from 2-6 if you're the Saints. There's no miracle elixir that's going to heal your entire
offensive line. Derek Carr is going to come back. You're not going to look like the team that played
in week two against the Cowboys. You're not going to. So if you want to go, like, to me, there's a great benefit to a team like the Saints going 2-14 or 2-15.
Why?
Because their cap situation is so fucked, although the cap is fake and people always work around it.
But wouldn't you love to get a first-round pick at quarterback that you could have under a rookie deal
and not have to worry about Spencer Rattler, your project fifth-round pick?
You can come out there and say, let's fucking go with Shador Sanders or whomever you might draft in that spot. So I don't know.
I just don't like that mindset. I think it's a shitty mindset when you're four and four and look,
you're not too far away from being six and two. It very well could be the Colts. I don't think
the Colts are as good as the Texans, but sometimes it doesn't matter who the better team is. It's
about who wins the goddamn games. And the Texans have caught a couple of
breaks. And now Stefan Diggs is out. Like if you're the Colts right now, you're not going to catch the
Texans more than likely, but you start looking at the Texans and you look at their schedule and you
go, well, let's see there without Stefan Diggs, Nico's not here this week. They're going to have
a short week. Why the fuck couldn't the Texans go up to New York and lose they very well could and then you're you're they're six and three you're four and four you win a game you're five
and four at the end of this week and again you're a game behind them now they got two games up on
you so you're not going to win the division but then you look at the Texans who have to play the
Cowboys which we can mock the Cowboys all we want that is a losable game although the Cowboys have
just gotten dismantled at home I mean they gave up 50 to the fucking saints at home but like they're bad at home but it's possible you could lose that game
you could lose to the ravens later in the year you probably will lose to the ravens later in
the year you probably will lose the chiefs later in the year that's such a and the lions that's
such a brutal stretch though because you're playing three games in 10 days yes you're talking about
the christmas time yeah that's insane And the last one is the Ravens.
I know.
And we don't know if they're going to make
any moves to bring in another receiver. Not either.
Pittsburgh went out and
got the dude from the
Panthers. So I don't know
what you're going to do, but you need to find other
weapons. I don't know that you're just going to roll
out with Tank Dell and Nico Collins.
And Nico has injury history, so who's to say he's not going to rip up his hamstring again and be out?
You need something.
That's why you went out and got Stephon Diggs.
So you had another weapon.
We saw last year they could still make things happen with those two guys.
And when they were clicking, they were good.
But I don't know, man.
That is an unenviable spot to be in for the Texans.
At least you're two games up and really three games up on the Colts with eight to go.
So you feel good about that.
But I haven't looked at the spread for this game on Thursday.
It wouldn't shock me if the Jets were favored slightly, like one and a half.
I would not be shocked like like
eliminating records and just looking at top to bottom players and where the Texans are health
wise the the Jets are see what I'm saying you'd go well wait a minute one team six and two one
team's two and six well one team's offensive line is beat up. One team is still without. Now, two, they're two best receivers.
So, man, I don't like where they're at right now.
But, again, you've got CJ, and you always have a chance.
And nothing's ever going to be perfect in terms of health.
But they're leaving him in some bad situations,
and they're escaping them other than the the the uh the Packers game
which I feel like they just kind of shit that opportunity away I think they handled the last
drive the last part of that drive in that game poorly and they still could have won the damn
game also how shitty are the fucking Panthers I know they're shitty but I just love that there's
seven point underdogs of the Saints in Carolina in front of eight people i bet you can get into that game for a
nickel the fees will be like 30 cents and the ticket will be five cents um but yeah that's how
bad things are for them but and the saints saints people are like why don't we fire the coach
there's no point firing the coach in the middle of the season you're broken you're fucked let's
move on at the end of the year i'm trying to think of other things that stood out football wise this
weekend you gotta love that Dak he's a great garbage time quarterback like once they get down
three scores in the fourth quarter Dak's like chill out I got this shit and he goes in and
he'll get you right back into the game then with three minutes to go plenty of time it's not like
you're buried at your own one yard line I think they had it after a touchback.
It was after a punt, so I don't think it was a touchback.
But they were starting in good field position.
And Dak throws four incompletions in a row.
All of them were lengthy passes.
And it's like, bro, if you could just dink and dunk a little bit,
you could move from the 30 to the 20 in two or three plays
with two minutes to go and be fine.
But instead, you guys are Lash LaRue.
You got your Spurs jingling and jangling.
You can't help yourself.
And then you lose the game.
So the Cowboys continue to falter.
Do you think we should, because we've talked about this before,
how maybe there should be relegation in soccer?
Oh, of course.
Should the loser of the Giants-Panthers game in Germany stay in Germany?
Yes.
And they should have to change sports.
They should have to play rugby for the rest of the year as well.
I saw a statistic that was interesting.
Going into last night's game, Daniel Jones was 1-14 in primetime games.
Now I guess he's 1-15.
And I'm like, how the fuck have we had to watch Daniel Jones play a primetime game 15 fucking
times even this year I just feel like we've watched so many Giants games and I understand
the idea of like well you know they're New York and blah blah blah but like it's Daniel Jones
his coach by the way totally jarroed up that motherfucker all over the jarro and the ozempic
baby and I still hate him. And he still sucks.
And Daniel Jones still sucks.
And Daniel Jones always looks like he just saw a UFO.
But I look at these guys and I'm like, how are they on TV all the time?
Pittsburgh with Rusty, now it's only two games.
And one of them is against the Giants.
I get that.
But they look like a different offense when you got Rusty.
I am beyond happy for this dude
and rarely am i happy for people usually i like to relish in the misery of people like aaron rogers
i like to relish in his misery but like i'm enjoying the fact that rusty's been kind of left
for dead the culture has always kind of left him for dead because he's kind of corny and he's dopey
and and like they like to shit on him for for the Seattle and he only won because of the defense and blah, blah, blah.
Sean Payton, giant cocksucker the way he treated Rusty.
And he comes out these two games playing with Tomlin
who stuck his balls on the fucking line.
He walks into the room, throws his dick on the table.
He's like, listen, I know you guys want me to stick with Fields,
but we're going with Rusty to see what we got.
We brought him here to see if he could start.
Let's see what he could do.
And all he's done is just slung the fucking ball for what was the tomlin quote when
he played really good after the first game that was so awesome too oh i forgot but like i'm enjoying
watching russ wilson play well may not last forever they may fall off a cliff but after the
way he was treated by the whole world and again heny. I don't disagree, but to go out there and sling
the way he has been slinging it is just a thing of fucking beauty. I love it. Um, you brought up
a second ago about, you don't buy the Broncos. Sean Payton was the coach of my team for a long
time, but even when he was the coach of my team, he was a cocksucker, total asshole shit talker.
And it usually came back to get him because he was a great front runner. He would always talk
shit. And then somehow we'd blow these fucking fucking games the one that stands out the most was the
minnesota miracle game where we take the lead should have had the ball basically to run out
the clock but he runs a dip shit right up the middle settle for a field goal run play we kick
the field goal they get it back and go in it he starts doing the skull thing to the fans after we
score and then two three plays later,
Stephon Diggs, may he rest in power.
Stephon Diggs makes the catch,
takes it to the house, and we lose.
Like Sean Payton this weekend,
we got into it with a player
who was pissed that they ran a fake field goal
up 28 to seven.
And look, I'm not gonna feel bad for professional athletes
for having trick plays run on you
no matter what the score is.
You're a pro, figure it out. And I believe Sean's reaction to him was play fucking better
but Sean's really fucking feeling himself right now as a coach of a team that's kind of
smoking mirrorsing people good defense I'm not buying Bo Nix they've played a lot of bad fucking
teams like line them up Jets line them up fucking Saints. Go down the list of the shit.
And it was at Carolina this week they played.
Like, oh, congrats.
You're really just mowing down a murderer's row of teams, Sean.
Like, Sean talks a really big game, and he's cocky, and he's arrogant,
and he's a frontrunner.
Sean's a great frontrunner.
And then usually he gets his ass shut in the playoffs by people.
He gets his mouth shut by other teams and loses games he shouldn't lose.
See blowing that game against Minnesota. See losing to Kirk Cousins at home in a playoff game.
See losing to, I don't know, Alex Smith when he was the quarterback of San Francisco when you had
Drew fucking Breeze. See the Rams game. Just go down and look at a list of games that Sean Payton
has lost as the coach of the Saints in the playoffs. talks a lot of shit he's cocky he's arrogant someone's gonna shut his fucking ass up and I'm
going to enjoy it other teams um we talked about uh the Jags are I mean they're the Jags but they
do they pulled off a miracle in terms of passing yards against the Packers for me to get to 500
combined after Jordan Love went out so big ups uh nothing nothing but love to Trevor, to T-Law, as it were.
I still think the Dolphins can be a team that may not make the playoffs,
but like in a case of a team like the Texans, they could fuck your day up
if you catch them on the wrong day.
I mean, their offense was obviously exponentially better last game
compared to what it was with Huntley.
They had 28 points or whatever the number was,
and they just blew the game to the Cardinals.
But NFC-wise, I still don't really buy the 49ers.
Well, we haven't even seen McCaffrey play yet.
He's supposed to come back.
It feels like Debo Samuels heard every other fucking game.
You know who's quietly just kind of hanging out?
It's the fucking Eagles. The Eagles are just kind of hanging out? It's the fucking Eagles.
The Eagles are just kind of hanging out. They keep beating people. I mean,
they beat the Bengals pretty fucking good.
They've had back-to-back games where they've played really well.
This comes on the heels of the whole world
shitting on the doofus neo-Nazi
haircutted dipshit coach.
And you're like,
there they are. I think they lost once?
Twice. What are they? Six and two? They're five and two. And they're just hanging out they are. I think they won't. What have they lost? Once? Twice. Twice. What are they?
Six and two or five?
They're five and two.
And they're just hanging out.
You look around the NFC and you're like, who's really great in the NFC?
The Lions are good, right?
I like the Lions a lot.
They're fun.
Obviously, Hutchinson being out for the year is a big loss, but I like them.
Packers, you know, but like they can't keep Jordan Love healthy if they can I think
they're a contender because the NFC is just fascinating right now like you look at from
division division look to the the west Seattle's falling off a mountain the west is a fucking mess
right now there are three four and four teams and one three and four team all right so the three and
four would be the Rams right yeah okay so the Rams are three and four and they're start like at first
it was like hey let's trade Cooper Cup
and let's do all this. Now they're healthy, and they're clicking offensively, and I think they
were 1-4, and now they've won two in a row. So they're right there. The Arizona Cardinals just
kind of hanging out. Seattle, I still don't buy. They're a fun team when they get clicking
offensively, but they were 3-0, which means they're now 1-4 in their last five games, I believe.
So they're not legit. It's hard for me to buy a team that goes one and four for any stretch of the season and be like oh look out for them they're you know they're dominant
so i don't buy them but that's kind of what the nfc is this year people thought tampa was going
to be big shit you know what tampa isn't anymore big shit you know what's going to fuck everybody's
day up kirko chains kirko chains and the falcons my man all the i love all the gifts
and memes and shit in the videos of him like going from white bread world of minnesota down to atlanta
and all of a sudden he's malibu's most wanted he's b rad g but like my man kirkland because
obviously the panthers ain't doing shit and obviously the saints are dead and tampa while
they're fun and can score a fuck ton of points they ain't beating anybody either tampa or what
are they back to 500 now or are they four and four they're four and four and Godwin's out for the year I don't
know when Mike Evans is coming back so like Tampa could make the playoffs but Atlanta's the better
team so you just go around the NFC and there are the Eagles just kind of hanging out they've got
the pedigree they've been there before they're just kind of quietly hanging out everything about
them is kind of drama and people hear the drama about them. The Eagles are just existing.
That division is very good.
They've got to play the Giants again. They're going to beat them.
We forget about Washington too. That miracle
that they pulled off at the end of the game, which was fun.
That's our man Jaden.
You just
look around the league and it's kind of like
NFC.
I don't think the AFC is wide open. I think there's a lot
of teams that can make the playoffs
but I think at the end of the day I believe Lamar can win it but he hasn't yet so I don't know that
he can and I know Pat can I think CJ can but I don't think with the way things are going injury
wise it's gonna help those are also just kind of existing they're similar to the Eagles in that way
they're just kind of they're just doing their job I agree I totally forgot about them to. But I also don't believe Josh Allen can because Josh Allen doesn't do it.
Josh Allen, as I have defined him, is a loser.
And a loser is someone who just doesn't win.
When you get to the playoffs, Pat Mahomes is your dad at.
Now, go beat Pat Mahomes and get to the Super Bowl.
Then I'll believe you can do it.
But if I see you in the AFC Championship game and it's Josh Allen versus Pat Mahomes,
I don't care if there's a half a second on the clock and they're losing I'll believe that Pat's gonna beat them so I don't
believe that the AFC is open I believe it's top heavy I believe the NFC honestly yeah the NFC can
go anyway and it depends on if San Francisco figures shit out which maybe they will maybe
they won't but it's kind of like, really?
We forgot about the Bears.
The Bears really screwed themselves, though.
They would have been really riding high getting that win.
Minnesota.
I don't buy Minnesota.
Maybe I'm just being prejudiced towards the quarterback,
but I'm like, I just don't buy them.
That's the thing about the NFC.
I think Tampa can make the playoffs.
I don't think they can win the Super Bowl.
I don't think Atlanta can win the Super Bowl. I don't think Atlanta can win the Super Bowl.
I think the Eagles can at least get to the Super Bowl.
I think the Lions can get to the Super Bowl.
They've proven that they're good.
The Packers, if Jordan Love is healthy, I believe can.
Then there's just teams that are pretty good,
and I can believe that they can get in.
They can maybe beat someone.
I think Atlanta can beat someone in the playoffs.
I don't think Tampa can.
I'm trying to think of the rest of the NFC.
The Bears can't.
I just feel like the Rams are going to make a run.
I think they can too.
It depends on if they keep it together or not.
If they decide we're keeping Cooper Cup
because they got Pukunukuwa back.
They have started clicking offensively,
moving the ball down the field.
Stafford looks good.
I love watching Matt Stafford play football.
So I think you got a shot there.
So I don't think they can win the Super Bowl,
but Matt Stafford's been there before.
Sean McVay's been there before.
So at least they got the skins.
I don't believe Seattle can.
I don't believe the Cardinals can.
San Francisco can.
It's just such a weird world
like basically it's Pat Mahomes and everybody
else Pat and kinda Lamar
and then the rest of the world I think they're getting
three in a row oh I think so I mean look
they're 7-0 and you could argue offensively
they really haven't played well
they've had a lot of kind of iffy spotty
I mean look the Saints and they've had like a thousand
injuries and they still find a way
I mean the Saints were right there Will let me look at what the Saints are today.
Two and six shitty Saints.
Well, at the time, I think the Saints were two and one.
They go to Kansas City.
David or Derek Carr is still healthy.
And they're right there.
So the Chiefs have flirted with disaster a couple times, but they keep finding ways.
And they throttled San Francisco late in that game a couple weeks ago.
So it's a weird world right now in the NFL so
we shall see uh all right so uh there you have it it's already uh well this is Tuesday night
the good news is it's already Wednesday basically we're gonna go see the Neil Diamond show tomorrow
the Neil Diamond musical and then it's the Texans on Thursday night football rock on friends
