Tbh, I love Brett and EJ but their knowledge/interest in the raiders is probably one of the lowest out of all the teams. I get why cuz we been suckin ass but wish they’d give a bit of a spotlight to the Nation every once in a while. Even their off-season breakdown of us was lackluster compared to some of the other videos
@@iUseM4 That’s true, but I thought that game would spark their interest specifically their 2nd half adjustments in offense. Hoping for some insight if that’s a Getsy decision since EJ got experience. Also would like to know how the Ravens go from here with all the interior line issues.
@@eddienash2095 but they rarely go 0-2 and Raiders sure as hell don’t beat East Coast teams as underdogs. They also don’t have to omit the Bucs/Lions game, just wanted some insight on the Raiders/Ravens game
Brett could you make a video on how the Kollmann Curse is undefeated so we can see if the Kollmann Curse can be Kollmann cursed? Because I don’t know what will happen in that paradox.
This is why numbers can lie. You look at the stats and final score of Min vs. SanFran and you’d think it was a close game. It was not. If you watched the whole game Minnesota dominated. San Fran had 1 great drive and 1 ok drive. If Minnesota cleans up 2 mistakes, it’s an almost 30 point win.
Thank you for conveying what I was thinking. If Jones didn’t fumble at the one we woulda been up 27-7 instead of them coming back from that TO and scoring a TD
I predicted 31-10 week 1 at the Giants and was just out, and thought 27-13 vs the 49ers, which I think would have been a better reflection of the game. Just that goal line fumble away from being right. Nothing has surprised me about the Vikes yet.
I agree it didnt feel close but 49ers made a bunch of mistakes that cost them greatly. Vikings made 2 critical mistakes, 49ers made like 8. The score is not close because vikings made 2 mistakes, the scores close because the vikings ONLY made 2 mistakes and the 49ers made so many more. Thats why the game feels worse than the score suggest, becuz the niners made so many mistakes
@@odukla2404 Oh, come on now. The Vikes made just as many mistakes. The Jones fumble on the goal line. Unnecessary Darnold INT in the red zone. Not capitalising on the 49ers muffed punt even though they had the next 3 guys there. Turner stuffing up the punt stop on the one yard line. Losing Jefferson for the last 20 mins. Just stop. Sure the 49ers could play better, but they got their ass whooped by a team that finished the game with their entire starting offensive weapons on the bench - Jefferson, Jones, Addison, Hockenson. If you can't beat Darnold operating with Nailor, Powell, Sherfield and Chandler - you're going to have to figure out something else before a rematch in the playoffs. And forget the CMC BS - he had 45 yards on 15 rushes in the 2023 game, and this Flores defence is better than that one. Skol!
@@Alex-tx2dha deep drop back in your own end zone while Myles Garret is on the other side and your asking your not very good tackle to play him straight up should tell you all you need to know about the state this offense is in
Watching NFL RedZone really makes me appreciate Mike Evans because it shows all sorts of highlights of the ball falling inches away from the receivers fully extended hands and that same pass looks like a routine catch for Evans with his catch radius and Marvin Harrison Jr had this drop in the endzone that looked exactly like the average Mike Evans td
They’re starting the year with Broncos, Pats, and the tua-less Dolphins. I wouldn’t make any big statements about this team for a while lol. Might be a misleading 3-0
When dude starting talking box score with the vikings game, it immediately showed me that he did the bare minimum effort of homework on that game before hand. Anyone familiar with that game in the slightest would tell you that the stats didnt indicate what was actually happening, because the Vikings controlled about 96% of that game. That game almost became a blowout, the only thing that saved it from getting really out of hand was Fred Warner, who might be the best linebacker in football.
Yeah EJ probably didn't watch too much of that one. But it's hard to have a well informed opinion on 15 games less than 24 hours after they take place.
brett cursed the panthers three seasons ago and it's arguably the most powerful one yet. even ignoring bryce young, our pass rush has never been the same since his video on that aspect of our defense. i'm genuinely glad he was forced to scrap the video on our pass defense.
The Patriots are the 153rd team to have more time of possesion, have no turnovers, and 300yrds of offense, but the first to lose with that line. Id love to see the passing game open up a scoche more and have Brissett look to the left side of the field. Go Pats!
As a Seahawks fan, hell of a game, both teams left it all out there, and I fell like both of them are heading in good directions, I wish yall the best of luck the rest of the season
Speaking of Darnold and the Panthers missing him, pretty sure they miss Baker too. Just goes to show that talent alone cannot prop up anyone playing the most important position in the sport. QB absolutely NEEDS a coaching staff that can maximize talent and minimize flaws.
But even if Darnold and Baker replaced Bryce this season, there is no way OC Canales can scheme the Panthers shitty talents on offense to positive results. Diontae Johnson alone isn't changing shit. That Panthers O-line is still shit as Ekwonu struggles to learn LT. The Panthers defense stop opposing offenses from scoring so the Panthers are on early pass scripts. Opposing DCs are salivating knowing they are ahead 2-3 scores and Canales is looking to get Bryce passing for 25+ attempts to an aging Adam Thielen.
It doesn't matter how good Caleb is, or how high his ceiling is, with that o-line. If they think he's their franchise guy then they need to prioritize year 3 and beyond. Lack of protection and lack of a run game is a near guarantee of failure for a young QB. Keep starting him in this situation and he may be a good QB some day, but it won't be in Chicago. See: Sam Darnold.
MINNESOTA! I haven’t watched the video but I want to say right now that the game was not nearly as as close as the final score makes it out to be. Vikes were the better team all game.
Couldn't be happier for Carr. I always respected him with the Raiders, even though he was a rival. I literally said to my father "I hope he succeeds, after the Raiders screw this up and trade him away." Hope he continues to ball out.
@@JSStrengthyeah but the last drive to get the field goal to make it a two score game the Vikings didn’t have jj Addison hockenson or Aaron jones and the play calling was still dialed in
@@naturebigfan6387I’ve been saying since last year, that Powell is clutch and actually good lol. As for nailor, he’s always been hurt and is very fast but a bit of an unknown
@@grahamculbertson6920Powell is a steady hand, not a great player. I think Nailor clearly had more talent, so much so that they never gave up on him inspite of all the injuries.
Look at their divisional rival the Packers. WR room is improving along with the O-line, they have RB threats and Matt LaFleur makes Malik Willis look serviceable around those guys. Vikings have the better starters with JJ being a top 5 receiver and a 1-2 book end tackle combos with Darrisaw and O'Neill.
Brett starting HOU/CHI by talking about how great it feels to FINALLY get a quarterback just made it hurt that much more. Curses are real. Chicago is cursed.
@@robertprueter3292 Not indifferent just not well versed in what is needed to be done. The patriarch George Halas was the only one who knew football (and I guess his son Mugs too, also long deceased). The subsequent generations of the family don’t know either football or business. So they’ve always struggled regarding who to hire for football positions of authority in the decades since George’s death. The ownership of the Bears only seeming expertise is in personal behavioral respectability. This is then reflected in the football choices they made over the years i.e. God-fearing coaches and management. Hires that they can go to church mass with; Lovey Smith, Dick Jauron, Kevin Warren, etc.
@@King_Immanuel You can already see Caleb developing bad habits from the pressure, and we're only 2 games into his career. Chicago fucked this up MASSIVELY. Without some sort of desperation massive blockbuster trade for an entire O-line (and O-line coach - Chris Morgan SUCKS) in the next 6 weeks, Caleb's path to 'bust' will be written in stone.
47:33 I’m having that same feeling but as a Chargers fan, like seeing our team (granted one was vs Panthers) have a commanding lead and not blow it or make it close
How Brett talks about Stroud is how i remember talking about Mahomes as a KC fan. Those first few weeks on 2018 showed me all new things were possible.😂
Brett and EJ are both just good human beings. It’s j clear watching and listening that they’re two kindhearted people. It’s always rly nice hearing good people nerd out about a topic I’m similarly fascinated by.
A few notes on MN that you can borrow. The game wasn’t as close as you think. If Jones doesn’t fumble at the goal line, it would have been. 27-7 and a done deal. KOC is now 19-0 when his teams are even or win the turnover battle. The last time SF won in MN? 1992. That’s crazy. Lastly, B-Flo is truly playing “position-less” defense.
Flores is also a great litmus test against opposing QBs/OCs if their schemes are efficient at breaking his defenses down. Its no surprise that Purdy was definitely feeling uncomfortable on those late passing downs with what Flores was throwing at him.
During the PI call (in which Anthony was playing the ball), the left tackle had Trey in a choke hold. The bias is so obvious Brett 😂 Glazing him while he had 150 yards and 2 picks
You cannot make a play for the ball behind the receiver. That's EXPLICITLY against the rules. And holding was called several times on the Chiefs O-line, but that was when the defender had a chance to get to the ball carrier. That was not the case when Mahomes left the pocket, which EJ notes. Oh and there was literally a hands to the face flag on KC in the prior play that negated a 4th down conversion, so the refs aren't showing favorable treatment. You people need to stop playing victim and take the L. The Bengals will be in the postseason. They just can't make mistakes if they want to go all the way.
@kchandaman3012 That's not true at all. You clearly don't know PI rules man it's okay. Several people from PFF have also pointed out it wasn't PI. KC was also doing the same thing when we were in the redzone.
@@SageKStroke52 And multiple other analysts said it was PI. Gene Steratore even confirmed. Check the rules, playing for the ball behind the receiver is explicitly disallowed. I dunno what the PFF guys said, but if we're gonna play conspiracy theory, then I might as well say that of course Cinci residents would claim that even if they're professional analysts 😂😂 see, I used laughing emojis like your ilk, so I am clearly right even if I have no evidence!
@@SageKStroke52 I don't wanna hear about missed calls in the redzone when a dogshit DPI call was made on McDuffie as Ja'Marr Chase was dragging him to the ground to prevent an interception. Refs helped you plenty on Sunday. Oh and Ja'Marr shouldn't be paid to lick the Bengals locker room showers clean, let alone play for the team. Joe Burrow deserves better, especially after getting shoved by someone whom he's trusted.
I remember seeing the Texans convert on like a 3rd and 11, Bears get pressure and Stroud rolls out and on the run throws a dart right to Nico for the first. I literally said to myself i cant believe this shit. Ive never had this much faith in the Texans EVER. I dont know how to act
Caleb’s accuracy and wow factor is scaring me a bit. The pressure is ridiculous but there are plays that Caleb looks like he wishes everything would slow down but it’s the NFL now
I usually believe every flag unless I see it and then realize they made a bad call. Just the pessimist in me. But I saw them throw one on him and I said to myself “that can’t be right. he doesn’t get flags.”
@@jared1750 Yeah. I am just pointing out that refs are very inconsistent. Even Romo & company pointed that one out though. McDuffie is a text book player😉
@@jared1750 love that guy! I don't care what game one watches, there are always bad calls & missed calls....and it is hard to believe, because the Chiefs have had so much success of late, but they get a lot of bad & missed calls as well, but the opposing team's fan bases don't bring them up for some reason 🤔🤷🏻♂️😂 If the Chiefs lose & there were bad calls, I hate it when Chiefs fans blame the Refs, but the refs are certainly frustrating!...and half the crap they call penalties Now, were not penalties in my day 🤷🏻♂️...there "points of emphasis" make my armpit wanna dip snuff! I wish they would stop changing everything. If they want to make the game safer, with all of our modern technology, surely they can improve the equipment, rather than changing the game! They don't need MORE Rules,(too many now) cuz the refs are confused about the ones they have now! In a few weeks, half the penalties called now will rarely be called...and then when it is called, fans will be screaming about it😂...even if it is a correct call, because the goofy refs were too busy "emphasizing" so petty thing that had little to do with blocking, tackling, running, catching, throwing etc. Good grief. Players are afraid to tackle anymore! 😳...and the pre-season goes to about week 5, because of all of the restrictions on training camp & preseason practices. The top dogs right now may be the cellar dwellers @ the end of the season ....you just can't tell yet cuz everything is so sloppy & the refs are sloppy too 🥴....ok! Finished with my rant! 😂
@@sandman9390 I'm with you. I'll admit, I've blamed the refs before but they rarely decide games. Nowadays, I tend to say "what about the other 59 minutes of ball?" In all my time watching football, I can say and say confidently, that one game was stolen by the refs and the Chiefs weren't even playing. All the same, officiating has a problem of technology. Greater technology begs for greater precision. Fans expect perfection and fairness. This is impossible to provide. A perfect example is the new overtime rules. The reason the coinflip was king was it provided the consequence of failure. If you don't execute in the 60 minutes of football, luck will have a say in the conclusion. Luck is the antithesis of execution. It is why I don't believe both teams should have a shot at the ball in overtime. In the same way, we have to stop begging for precision in officiating. It is taking the emphasis off playing and creates sloppy ball and lack of accountability. We have to accept that sometimes calls are missed, sometimes bad calls are made. We should look at execution or lack thereof instead of looking for "fairness" to right our failures. We should ask for more from our teams and less from the refs.
My only issue with the "Just play perfectly and you can beat KC" is that KC never has to play perfectly to win. They just gave examples of KC messing up over and over and yet they won. Why....because they got help. Everyone knows the game is not called fair down the middle.
They literally didn’t get help. There are plenty of examples of teams beating KC without the “refs”. You don’t have to play perfectly against LC, your margin for error is just way smaller than normal.
You're right Brett, but it's a bad match up for a lot of teams. The D is deeper, which few people noticed. No name players like Jihad Ward, Jonah Williams and Jerry Tillery all started plenty of games last season but form part of a strong D Line rotation with a much, much higher floor than 2023 when Dean Lowry was a supposed starter. And faster - yes, because Flores brought in Greenard, AVG (and drafted Turner) to replace Hunter who was an edge rusher that Flores had to put into an OLB hole, and Cashman who replaced an aging but similarly effective Jordan Hicks. Finally and an underrated move, after tragically losing the long and high upside rookie Khyree Jackson, and 2023 3rd rounder Mekhi Blackmon to injury, Flores brought in two older CBs - Griffin and Gilmore who both have high floors and will do all the quiet stuff right and probably avoid conceding too many big plays, just using their wits to make the tackle quickly, or have the right leverage to deter a throw or make the QB hesitate, and to almost always make the right decisions. Flores ran out of players last season. This year the rotation is deep, and the spine should stay fresh. I see a top 5 defence. When they finally get Jefferson, Addison, Hockenson and Aaron Jones out there this offence could also be top 5. And now you've seen Nailor, and Chandler, who with Josh Oliver - one of the league's elite blocking TEs - and consider that one of them is going to be the 5th weapon, or show a different look, or just the offensive rotation to keep everyone fresh, watch out.
Gilmore and Griffen have quietly been huge. Almost every completion against us has been a contested ball. And that has bought time for even Patrick Jones to get to the quarterback.
In regards to the Bears interior Oline, the crazy thing is that it's something deceptively easy to fix, despite what teams like Cincinnati would make you think. Taking the Chiefs as an example, and I know it's kind of a cheap cope out to pick the best team in the league but bear with me, they rebuilt that IOline in literally one offseason: - Max G contract for top FA Thuney - Pick a top center prospect Hunphrey midway through the 2nd round (which there seems to be one or two of every year lately) - Get lucky with a late round pick in Trey Smith, but is not like finding good guards late is unheard of. I don't say you will get the outcome of a top IOL off the bat 100 times out of a 100 in these scenarios, but on the other side having an incompetent one is basically by choice.
Thuney I can see as he was money for the Pats for years. Humphrey going off the way he did as a 2nd rounder IMO is a bonus. A late pick like Smith turning to a starter is luck. Bengals issue is they couldn't sacrifice draft assets to shoot more darts for interior O-line prospects when they also had to rebuild parts of their defense for the future. The price for IOLs in the market is getting higher and making them as key commodities as quality starting tackles. Bears were on a similar track like the Bengals and were just hoping guys like Jenkins, Shelton and their FA signing in Nate Davis solved the issue. But also keep in mind that prior to Brian Callahan taking the HC job for the Titans, Bengals also had a good O-line coach in Bill Callahan.
Ryan Poles has tried to fix the O-line. He's brought in a good amount of new O-linemen, he drafted an RT early, etc but the problem is every O-line player plays worse when playing for the Bears. Lucas Patrick was literally a human anus for the Bears, but he looks serviceable in New Orleans this year. Sam Mustipher was worse as a C than an actual turnstile in Chicago, but he went to Baltimore and played just fine. Etc etc etc, every O-lineman who's come or gone has looked worse with the toilet seat on their helmet than with any other logo. Add to that, that every O-lineman that's remained with the Bears has regressed every year. 2 years ago, Teven Jenkins looked like a legitimate pro bowler when healthy. This year he looks like a practice squaddie out there. When you have an entire position group where every player regresses reliably and every player performs better with other teams, you can only place blame in 1 place; the position group coach. Chris Morgan is LITERALLY the worst O-line coach in the entire league.
Yeah, not a Bears fan but I saw a play from last week where Nate Davis and Teven each ran by like 3 different defenders on a run play without touching anyone. One guy being lost is one thing, but both on the same play? And these are both guys that have played good football in the NFL within the last few years. How the heck are they being coached to play like that? No other way to explain it except poor coaching.
@@yeahr1ghty I think I know the play you're talking about; JTO talked about it in QBSchool on Patreon. It was 100% supposed to be a play where the RB went outside, and if he had, their actions made sense. But Swift bounced it back inside and without looking back and seeing that Swift had his pants on his head, what they did made total sense. But without that context, it looks like Teven and Davis went full potato. Chris Morgan is both the O-line coach and the running game coordinator. Chris Morgan is literally cancer.
About K. C. it’s not that the refs bail them out with bad calls, the flags in the other team are pretty much always legit, it’s that refs miss NOTHING on the other team when they play K. C. They seem to go all out against the opponent and take a few plays off here or there for K. C. Just my two cents.
There’s been widespread bias against the chiefs and reffing. People argue that they get all the calls during key moments, which is simply not true. If the penalties getting called are legitimate penalties, then what’s the issue? Where do you draw the line? What about the offsides penalty against KC where Toney had his foot on the line in the bills game? It was a legitimate penalty, but couldn’t you argue that those shouldn’t be called because it’s a key moment in the game too? What about the hands to the face penalty against the chiefs prior to the DPI against the bengals? Frankly, this is getting ridiculous how people cherry pick a few calls and completely ignore others.
@@Kuj41 the difference is that the dpi was something K. C. did to Cincy all game and was never called, just like how the Ravens got called for illegal formation so many times while the cheifs were doing the same thing.
@@evanstensland611 whatever. I’m not going to go down this rabbit hole and argue with someone who’s clearly biased. You’re only going to get more entrenched in your view that the refs favor the chiefs. The fact is that bad/missed calls happen in every game. I saw missed calls happen on both the bengals and the chiefs all game. People are just fucking morons and don’t understand this.
Okay not trying to kill Brett’s happy, but did the Texans really look that good? I mean 19 points in however many possessions isn’t something to be excited about. Stroud is amazing but I don’t know if the team as a whole is.
Caleb is in a way WAY better situation than Fields. They’re not exactly setting him up well, but if we’re gonna give Caleb excuses then we gotta think Fields would be a star in most other systems. He looked better than this is with an exponentially worse supporting cast.
Fields' last two weeks was successfully 'attacking' a Falcons and a Broncos defense. Not really consistent top end defensive threats. Meanwhile Caleb had a so-so week 1 game and survived week 2 against a Texans defense that hounded his ass on like the 2nd highest pressure rate of week 2. All while Waldron didn't do diddly on the sidelines while Caleb was looking for answers like trying to assign protection based on his pre-snap reads. Fields would have gone the fetal position harder against the Texans defense with all that pressure.
@@MikeMike-qb6oy 100% false, the offense did absolutely nothing in week 1, we got 2 non-offensive TDs. Fields would have lead the offense to more than 3 points. 99% of starting QBs would have won that game for the Bears.
EJ clearly did not watch the Vikings-9ers game. This game was not blow for bliw, the Vikings controlled the game unto mid way in the 4th when they were half a yard away from going up 27-7, but Aaron Jones fumbled. That's the only reason the game ended up close. And even after the 9ers went 99 yards to get within a score, Darnold and O'Connell led a methodical drive down the field without Jefferson, or Addison or Hochenson, and punched in 3 points to go up by 9 with 3 minutes left and the 9ers were out of timeouts. Vikings deserve the hype. They were the better team.
Ryan Poles sounds like the new John Schneider. Can build an incredible roster but for some reason will only use patchwork solutions to build an offensive line
TBF Jenkins wasn't a Poles pick. That was Pace's pick before he got canned. So far the only positive O-line pick Poles has gotten that could be a franchise player is Wright whose a top 10 pick. His Oline picks from 2021 were day 3 guys so he was taking chances. FA isn't easier especially with IOL guys looking to get paid and are in demand. Nate Davis could also not be that guy either. All while he had other holes to address in the roster. Just things to consider when the GM can't get super lucky on one draft year hitting on everyone. At least Schneider is on schedule with his overall rebuild hitting on nearly everyone in the 2022 draft.
Cincy fans should be mad at the Chase Penalty, the missed PAT, the Burrow fumble, or the lack of solid o-line play, NOT THE REFS. Also, why was the 7th DB on the field to commit that final penalty of Rashee Rice?
If anything it shows that maybe that Payton offensive coaching tree is super flawed especially in trying to be creative on offense. Payton is just flanked by his old yes-men with Carmichael on a senior advisor role and right hand man Joe Lombardi as OC.
You should be more terrified that Dennis Allen doesn't do his diligence finding a capable Shanahan tree play caller if that scenario happens. I think the Bucs are fine knowing they let Canales walk to take the Panthers job only to dig back into the well and get former UK offensive play caller Liam Coen to be the OC.
Given some time I think I may have a diagnosis for the colts. I think a lot of Richardson’s issues have been made worse by the defense losing the time of possession game so much. He’s raw and not a polished passer, so you expect that you are going to get 3 and outs and maybe even a turnover but his explosiveness means that given enough bites at the apple, he probably rips a huge run or gets a big pass and then you are in better shape. When you give him 20 minutes with the ball and he’s behind all the time, you are basically forcing him to put on the Superman cape and he can do that, but he can’t do it consistently because he’s basically a rookie, not year 6 Josh Allen. I think gus Bradley’s defensive concepts are just outdated. He runs the same shit all the time, and that doesn’t work when you haven’t prioritized top tier defensive talent. You can put some blame on Ballard for not getting good backfield help, but seriously what’s the point of a coordinator if not to make adjustments? If they get the ball run down their throat again I think his seat gets hot, if it already isn’t. I think Steichen feels that way too, I am willing to bet there are entire chapters in his playbook he hasn’t been able to look at because he has to play from behind constantly. In both games the colts were basically behind the entire time. That makes it hard when you know your quarterback is at his worse right now when you are forced to do 10 passes for 6-7 yards a piece to march down the field and scores, so you have to play big high variance plays and sometimes everyone is in awe of the nutty 65 yard pass or left scratching their head at a bad interception.
Idk, sean payton’s coaching is making me respect how much of the saints success was dependent on drew brees dragging his entire team to the mountaintop in recent years. Maybe he just doesn’t know the question he’s trying to find answers to.
There is that. But also Payton is feeding him 35~43 pass attempts with opposing defenses knowing he won't attack with big deep shots. While the run game doesn't really do anything.
I've gotta push back on the Bears analysis. We're 2 weeks removed from the season preview where you along with everyone else had Caleb Williams as a lock for ROTY and the first Bears 4k passer, the best position a #1 QB has ever walked into, and said a hard "no" to anyone talking about his obvious red flags. And now the Bears are doing everything they can to ruin him? Are you kidding me? Yes we know the o-line isn't good, but Williams knows that and saw the same coverage on damn near every 3rd down last night and never once threw a check down or installed a hot route. If you KNOW pressure is coming, then you need to know how to throw out of it and Williams is not tough enough mentally to do that. He's mentally weak and never had to overcome adversity, and now that he's trying the same BS that worked in college in the pros, he's being exposed. He's always coasted off being the most talented player on the field and never worked on the intellectual side of the game and now that he has to think, to process, he can't. This is exactly why I said he was Ryan Leaf 2.0 and I'm looking pretty right right now
I really think Brett missed the mark on CIN-KC whereas EJ got it. Mahomes really didn’t do anything to win this game, it came down the Bengals defense not executing on that last drive, and the refs calling a penalty they weren’t calling the whole game long.
That being said Brett did hit the nail on the head. Regardless of who you’re playing, you should always be aspiring to win the game on offense. You have to make sure you dictate whether your defense even has the opportunity to lose on the last drive.
Also. I don't know what it is, but Lou Anarumo is one of maybe two DCs in the league that can absolutely flummox Patrick Mahomes and turn him mortal. Unfortunately the other one coaches Chris Jones in a red polo shirt.
EJ did not watch the Vikings 49ers game if he thinks that game was even. Anyone who watched the actual game, knows it wasnt close. The Vikings defense mostly dominated and controlled the 49ers and the only reason they were in the game was because of turnovers. Thats a blowout game if they dont fumble the ball away at the 1 yard line.
Ummmm no, this was not a back and forth affair in Minny. 9ers were 2/10 on third down and what, 1/3 on 4th? Yards aren’t shit if you can’t score or convert. Vikings never lost the lead. The only reason this wasn’t a blowout was because they have a linebacker that will be wearing a gold jacket when he retires. Vikings were missing WR2, TE 1 (who averages as a top 5 TE) and lost WR1 at the half. Darnold took WR3 and WR4 down the field. Flores had Shannahan’s number until proven otherwise.
Wish you guys would take longer to watch ALL the games in depth and do a like 2-3 hr pod (maybe Tuesday or Wednesday) covering every game, at least a little. Kinda sucks to be a fan of the channel but your team isn't talked about for weeks at a time.
PLEASE talk more about the raiders. yes we’re not going to be super bowl contenders or anything but they have at least an interesting team. they have ballers in maxx, adams, and now bowers looks legit. the defense is at least enough to be in games. winning on the road vs last years one seed in the AFC as 10 point dogs deserves at least a few minutes of your analysis
I think Deshaun’s off field bs and recent performance have (rightfully) made even the most knowledgeable fans just forget what he was. He was legitimately THE best QB in the league for a time. His stats were beyond incredible. He had, by a huge margin, the best QB season for a team with a losing record in nfl history back in 2020.
Brett is probably the biggest Deshaun hater in sports media. Anytime he can get a tweet off dissing him or open a video with a subliminal shot at him, he’ll take it. Hell even in this video he tried to put all the blame on jags defenders and their defense and have no credit to Deshaun. Idk if it’s bc he’s a Texans fan or because he’s trying to appeal to the masses but he can’t be unbiased when it’s about him
@@loganklein5031 I mean I think that's warranted. I too am a proud hater of Deshaun Watson. Most people with a moral compass are. I think it's perfectly okay to let a guy's off field character influence your perception of them as a player. Deshaun being a perfect example. He is more detrimental to his team then his stats would indicate because his teammates clearly put forth less effort when he is their QB. The whole Browns roster performed better under every other QB they've trotted out.
I don't like the camera switching, it feels like you're staring into my soul lmao. I like seeing brett and ej reacting to each other side by side. Gonna listen to audio only I think
It's interesting all the love regarding Brian Flores schemes but didn't they get off to a hot start last year then fizzled out when there was more film on what he was doing. Minnesota looks good but they better stay healthy they have NO depth.
You can't name the title "Pure Chaos" and not mention the 9.5 underdog Raiders beating the Ravens
The Ravens were 0-1 already though. The Bucs were 9 point underdogs against the Lions after putting up almost 40 points in week 1
THIS
Tbh, I love Brett and EJ but their knowledge/interest in the raiders is probably one of the lowest out of all the teams. I get why cuz we been suckin ass but wish they’d give a bit of a spotlight to the Nation every once in a while. Even their off-season breakdown of us was lackluster compared to some of the other videos
@@iUseM4 That’s true, but I thought that game would spark their interest specifically their 2nd half adjustments in offense. Hoping for some insight if that’s a Getsy decision since EJ got experience. Also would like to know how the Ravens go from here with all the interior line issues.
@@eddienash2095 but they rarely go 0-2 and Raiders sure as hell don’t beat East Coast teams as underdogs. They also don’t have to omit the Bucs/Lions game, just wanted some insight on the Raiders/Ravens game
Brett could you make a video on how the Kollmann Curse is undefeated so we can see if the Kollmann Curse can be Kollmann cursed? Because I don’t know what will happen in that paradox.
Philosophy departments across America would rejoice about all the possible perspectives gained from just 1 vid
This is why numbers can lie. You look at the stats and final score of Min vs. SanFran and you’d think it was a close game. It was not. If you watched the whole game Minnesota dominated. San Fran had 1 great drive and 1 ok drive. If Minnesota cleans up 2 mistakes, it’s an almost 30 point win.
Thank you for conveying what I was thinking. If Jones didn’t fumble at the one we woulda been up 27-7 instead of them coming back from that TO and scoring a TD
I predicted 31-10 week 1 at the Giants and was just out, and thought 27-13 vs the 49ers, which I think would have been a better reflection of the game. Just that goal line fumble away from being right. Nothing has surprised me about the Vikes yet.
I agree it didnt feel close but 49ers made a bunch of mistakes that cost them greatly. Vikings made 2 critical mistakes, 49ers made like 8.
The score is not close because vikings made 2 mistakes, the scores close because the vikings ONLY made 2 mistakes and the 49ers made so many more. Thats why the game feels worse than the score suggest, becuz the niners made so many mistakes
@@odukla2404 Oh, come on now. The Vikes made just as many mistakes.
The Jones fumble on the goal line.
Unnecessary Darnold INT in the red zone.
Not capitalising on the 49ers muffed punt even though they had the next 3 guys there.
Turner stuffing up the punt stop on the one yard line.
Losing Jefferson for the last 20 mins.
Just stop. Sure the 49ers could play better, but they got their ass whooped by a team that finished the game with their entire starting offensive weapons on the bench - Jefferson, Jones, Addison, Hockenson.
If you can't beat Darnold operating with Nailor, Powell, Sherfield and Chandler - you're going to have to figure out something else before a rematch in the playoffs.
And forget the CMC BS - he had 45 yards on 15 rushes in the 2023 game, and this Flores defence is better than that one.
Skol!
Fred Warner single handedly kept that game from becoming a blowout
I'm really interested to see where the Saints and Vikings are in the standings after week 8
BRO Brett can you PLEASE make a video on my Jags Terrible Offense. It would be much appreciated.
Yes we need to know what Lawrence is working with, and I cant watch AFC games like that
@@Alex-tx2dha deep drop back in your own end zone while Myles Garret is on the other side and your asking your not very good tackle to play him straight up should tell you all you need to know about the state this offense is in
So happy I found this pod during the offseason! Has become a weekly must listen for me!
And don't go anywhere. They're like the Chiefs; dropping dimes consistently.
Watching NFL RedZone really makes me appreciate Mike Evans because it shows all sorts of highlights of the ball falling inches away from the receivers fully extended hands and that same pass looks like a routine catch for Evans with his catch radius and Marvin Harrison Jr had this drop in the endzone that looked exactly like the average Mike Evans td
Shane Waldron will be the down fall of the bears, just like how he held back the hawks last year
And Bears fans are surprised… why?
Brett is like a vegan, He will always remind you he's a Texans fan.
Guys Geno Smith is killing it rn, Seahawks gonna win the West
I believe it 👍
Geno is god tier rn
They’re starting the year with Broncos, Pats, and the tua-less Dolphins. I wouldn’t make any big statements about this team for a while lol. Might be a misleading 3-0
@@yodakyleagreed. although geno is playing out of his mind that’s clear. ultimately i think o line issues keeps them from beating the 49ers
Barely scraped by the Patriots. Game 1 was sloppy too. I wouldn't get too far over your skis until they play the Lions, 49ers and Buffalo.
How would Shanahan have KOC's number when the Vikes have won the past two years
45:15 is Bears v. Texans for people that need a time stamp lol
When dude starting talking box score with the vikings game, it immediately showed me that he did the bare minimum effort of homework on that game before hand. Anyone familiar with that game in the slightest would tell you that the stats didnt indicate what was actually happening, because the Vikings controlled about 96% of that game. That game almost became a blowout, the only thing that saved it from getting really out of hand was Fred Warner, who might be the best linebacker in football.
there is no might about that, he is the best linebacker and quite frankly the best defensive player in football right now
Yeah EJ probably didn't watch too much of that one. But it's hard to have a well informed opinion on 15 games less than 24 hours after they take place.
brett cursed the panthers three seasons ago and it's arguably the most powerful one yet. even ignoring bryce young, our pass rush has never been the same since his video on that aspect of our defense. i'm genuinely glad he was forced to scrap the video on our pass defense.
….wouldn’t the video have helped then?
The Patriots are the 153rd team to have more time of possesion, have no turnovers, and 300yrds of offense, but the first to lose with that line. Id love to see the passing game open up a scoche more and have Brissett look to the left side of the field. Go Pats!
As a Seahawks fan, hell of a game, both teams left it all out there, and I fell like both of them are heading in good directions, I wish yall the best of luck the rest of the season
@@eduardogalvaorj couldnt agree more, and same to you, Geno feels more like an old friend really
Speaking of Darnold and the Panthers missing him, pretty sure they miss Baker too.
Just goes to show that talent alone cannot prop up anyone playing the most important position in the sport. QB absolutely NEEDS a coaching staff that can maximize talent and minimize flaws.
But even if Darnold and Baker replaced Bryce this season, there is no way OC Canales can scheme the Panthers shitty talents on offense to positive results. Diontae Johnson alone isn't changing shit. That Panthers O-line is still shit as Ekwonu struggles to learn LT. The Panthers defense stop opposing offenses from scoring so the Panthers are on early pass scripts. Opposing DCs are salivating knowing they are ahead 2-3 scores and Canales is looking to get Bryce passing for 25+ attempts to an aging Adam Thielen.
It doesn't matter how good Caleb is, or how high his ceiling is, with that o-line. If they think he's their franchise guy then they need to prioritize year 3 and beyond. Lack of protection and lack of a run game is a near guarantee of failure for a young QB. Keep starting him in this situation and he may be a good QB some day, but it won't be in Chicago. See: Sam Darnold.
MINNESOTA! I haven’t watched the video but I want to say right now that the game was not nearly as as close as the final score makes it out to be. Vikes were the better team all game.
Something is definitely off with the niners thru 2 games.
Couldn't be happier for Carr. I always respected him with the Raiders, even though he was a rival. I literally said to my father "I hope he succeeds, after the Raiders screw this up and trade him away." Hope he continues to ball out.
The Vikings really showed me how much great coaching can make up talent deficiency
The roster isn’t THAT bad. Great skill positions on offense, decent o-line. Defense is very talented outside of CB, which is just solid
@@JSStrengthyeah but the last drive to get the field goal to make it a two score game the Vikings didn’t have jj Addison hockenson or Aaron jones and the play calling was still dialed in
@@naturebigfan6387I’ve been saying since last year, that Powell is clutch and actually good lol. As for nailor, he’s always been hurt and is very fast but a bit of an unknown
@@grahamculbertson6920Powell is a steady hand, not a great player. I think Nailor clearly had more talent, so much so that they never gave up on him inspite of all the injuries.
Look at their divisional rival the Packers. WR room is improving along with the O-line, they have RB threats and Matt LaFleur makes Malik Willis look serviceable around those guys. Vikings have the better starters with JJ being a top 5 receiver and a 1-2 book end tackle combos with Darrisaw and O'Neill.
Brett starting HOU/CHI by talking about how great it feels to FINALLY get a quarterback just made it hurt that much more. Curses are real. Chicago is cursed.
If it makes you feel any better Stroud is kinda 1 of 1 with how fast he came along. Give it a couple years with Caleb and you’ll see if he’s the guy
We're not cursed, we're governed by incompetence. Indifferent owners and a bad front office will ruin a franchise indefinitely.
@@robertprueter3292 Not indifferent just not well versed in what is needed to be done.
The patriarch George Halas was the only one who knew football (and I guess his son Mugs too, also long deceased). The subsequent generations of the family don’t know either football or business. So they’ve always struggled regarding who to hire for football positions of authority in the decades since George’s death.
The ownership of the Bears only seeming expertise is in personal behavioral respectability. This is then reflected in the football choices they made over the years i.e. God-fearing coaches and management. Hires that they can go to church mass with; Lovey Smith, Dick Jauron, Kevin Warren, etc.
@@King_Immanuel You can already see Caleb developing bad habits from the pressure, and we're only 2 games into his career. Chicago fucked this up MASSIVELY. Without some sort of desperation massive blockbuster trade for an entire O-line (and O-line coach - Chris Morgan SUCKS) in the next 6 weeks, Caleb's path to 'bust' will be written in stone.
@@PlatypusVomitthats complete panic and not true. weve seen this happen before and qbs have been fine.
47:33 I’m having that same feeling but as a Chargers fan, like seeing our team (granted one was vs Panthers) have a commanding lead and not blow it or make it close
Jags O-Line is the biggest problem and I do not understand why they are not the first thing being mentioned
@1:20 can’t believe you left out Carr.
How Brett talks about Stroud is how i remember talking about Mahomes as a KC fan. Those first few weeks on 2018 showed me all new things were possible.😂
Trying to follow from the UK u guys make it so much easier 🙏
Brett and EJ are both just good human beings. It’s j clear watching and listening that they’re two kindhearted people. It’s always rly nice hearing good people nerd out about a topic I’m similarly fascinated by.
here after MNF…. title sure was fitting
A few notes on MN that you can borrow. The game wasn’t as close as you think. If Jones doesn’t fumble at the goal line, it would have been. 27-7 and a done deal. KOC is now 19-0 when his teams are even or win the turnover battle. The last time SF won in MN? 1992. That’s crazy. Lastly, B-Flo is truly playing “position-less” defense.
Flores is also a great litmus test against opposing QBs/OCs if their schemes are efficient at breaking his defenses down. Its no surprise that Purdy was definitely feeling uncomfortable on those late passing downs with what Flores was throwing at him.
Sad the Raiders beating the Ravens didn't get mentioned
I'll mention the game for you. Fuck the Raiders.
During the PI call (in which Anthony was playing the ball), the left tackle had Trey in a choke hold. The bias is so obvious Brett 😂 Glazing him while he had 150 yards and 2 picks
DPI includes "Playing through the back of an opponent in an attempt to make a play on the ball;"
You cannot make a play for the ball behind the receiver. That's EXPLICITLY against the rules. And holding was called several times on the Chiefs O-line, but that was when the defender had a chance to get to the ball carrier. That was not the case when Mahomes left the pocket, which EJ notes. Oh and there was literally a hands to the face flag on KC in the prior play that negated a 4th down conversion, so the refs aren't showing favorable treatment.
You people need to stop playing victim and take the L. The Bengals will be in the postseason. They just can't make mistakes if they want to go all the way.
@kchandaman3012 That's not true at all. You clearly don't know PI rules man it's okay. Several people from PFF have also pointed out it wasn't PI. KC was also doing the same thing when we were in the redzone.
@@SageKStroke52 And multiple other analysts said it was PI. Gene Steratore even confirmed. Check the rules, playing for the ball behind the receiver is explicitly disallowed.
I dunno what the PFF guys said, but if we're gonna play conspiracy theory, then I might as well say that of course Cinci residents would claim that even if they're professional analysts 😂😂 see, I used laughing emojis like your ilk, so I am clearly right even if I have no evidence!
@@SageKStroke52 I don't wanna hear about missed calls in the redzone when a dogshit DPI call was made on McDuffie as Ja'Marr Chase was dragging him to the ground to prevent an interception. Refs helped you plenty on Sunday.
Oh and Ja'Marr shouldn't be paid to lick the Bengals locker room showers clean, let alone play for the team. Joe Burrow deserves better, especially after getting shoved by someone whom he's trusted.
I remember seeing the Texans convert on like a 3rd and 11, Bears get pressure and Stroud rolls out and on the run throws a dart right to Nico for the first. I literally said to myself i cant believe this shit. Ive never had this much faith in the Texans EVER. I dont know how to act
Caleb’s accuracy and wow factor is scaring me a bit. The pressure is ridiculous but there are plays that Caleb looks like he wishes everything would slow down but it’s the NFL now
How about J Chase pulling McDuffie to the ground by the front of his pads & McDuffie getting flagged😂
I usually believe every flag unless I see it and then realize they made a bad call. Just the pessimist in me. But I saw them throw one on him and I said to myself “that can’t be right. he doesn’t get flags.”
@@jared1750 Yeah. I am just pointing out that refs are very inconsistent. Even Romo & company pointed that one out though. McDuffie is a text book player😉
@@sandman9390 I can agree with all of that. McDuffie is the truth.
@@jared1750 love that guy! I don't care what game one watches, there are always bad calls & missed calls....and it is hard to believe, because the Chiefs have had so much success of late, but they get a lot of bad & missed calls as well, but the opposing team's fan bases don't bring them up for some reason 🤔🤷🏻♂️😂
If the Chiefs lose & there were bad calls, I hate it when Chiefs fans blame the Refs, but the refs are certainly frustrating!...and half the crap they call penalties Now, were not penalties in my day 🤷🏻♂️...there "points of emphasis" make my armpit wanna dip snuff! I wish they would stop changing everything. If they want to make the game safer, with all of our modern technology, surely they can improve the equipment, rather than changing the game! They don't need MORE Rules,(too many now) cuz the refs are confused about the ones they have now!
In a few weeks, half the penalties called now will rarely be called...and then when it is called, fans will be screaming about it😂...even if it is a correct call, because the goofy refs were too busy "emphasizing" so petty thing that had little to do with blocking, tackling, running, catching, throwing etc. Good grief. Players are afraid to tackle anymore! 😳...and the pre-season goes to about week 5, because of all of the restrictions on training camp & preseason practices.
The top dogs right now may be the cellar dwellers @ the end of the season ....you just can't tell yet cuz everything is so sloppy & the refs are sloppy too 🥴....ok! Finished with my rant! 😂
@@sandman9390 I'm with you. I'll admit, I've blamed the refs before but they rarely decide games. Nowadays, I tend to say "what about the other 59 minutes of ball?" In all my time watching football, I can say and say confidently, that one game was stolen by the refs and the Chiefs weren't even playing.
All the same, officiating has a problem of technology. Greater technology begs for greater precision. Fans expect perfection and fairness. This is impossible to provide. A perfect example is the new overtime rules. The reason the coinflip was king was it provided the consequence of failure. If you don't execute in the 60 minutes of football, luck will have a say in the conclusion. Luck is the antithesis of execution. It is why I don't believe both teams should have a shot at the ball in overtime.
In the same way, we have to stop begging for precision in officiating. It is taking the emphasis off playing and creates sloppy ball and lack of accountability. We have to accept that sometimes calls are missed, sometimes bad calls are made. We should look at execution or lack thereof instead of looking for "fairness" to right our failures. We should ask for more from our teams and less from the refs.
My only issue with the "Just play perfectly and you can beat KC" is that KC never has to play perfectly to win. They just gave examples of KC messing up over and over and yet they won. Why....because they got help. Everyone knows the game is not called fair down the middle.
They literally didn’t get help. There are plenty of examples of teams beating KC without the “refs”. You don’t have to play perfectly against LC, your margin for error is just way smaller than normal.
Klint Kubiak is going to be coaching the Jags next year. You heard it here first.
I'm so glad to hear another lifelong Texans fan express your concerns. It feels surreal
You're right Brett, but it's a bad match up for a lot of teams. The D is deeper, which few people noticed. No name players like Jihad Ward, Jonah Williams and Jerry Tillery all started plenty of games last season but form part of a strong D Line rotation with a much, much higher floor than 2023 when Dean Lowry was a supposed starter.
And faster - yes, because Flores brought in Greenard, AVG (and drafted Turner) to replace Hunter who was an edge rusher that Flores had to put into an OLB hole, and Cashman who replaced an aging but similarly effective Jordan Hicks.
Finally and an underrated move, after tragically losing the long and high upside rookie Khyree Jackson, and 2023 3rd rounder Mekhi Blackmon to injury, Flores brought in two older CBs - Griffin and Gilmore who both have high floors and will do all the quiet stuff right and probably avoid conceding too many big plays, just using their wits to make the tackle quickly, or have the right leverage to deter a throw or make the QB hesitate, and to almost always make the right decisions.
Flores ran out of players last season. This year the rotation is deep, and the spine should stay fresh. I see a top 5 defence.
When they finally get Jefferson, Addison, Hockenson and Aaron Jones out there this offence could also be top 5. And now you've seen Nailor, and Chandler, who with Josh Oliver - one of the league's elite blocking TEs - and consider that one of them is going to be the 5th weapon, or show a different look, or just the offensive rotation to keep everyone fresh, watch out.
Gilmore and Griffen have quietly been huge. Almost every completion against us has been a contested ball. And that has bought time for even Patrick Jones to get to the quarterback.
In regards to the Bears interior Oline, the crazy thing is that it's something deceptively easy to fix, despite what teams like Cincinnati would make you think.
Taking the Chiefs as an example, and I know it's kind of a cheap cope out to pick the best team in the league but bear with me, they rebuilt that IOline in literally one offseason:
- Max G contract for top FA Thuney
- Pick a top center prospect Hunphrey midway through the 2nd round (which there seems to be one or two of every year lately)
- Get lucky with a late round pick in Trey Smith, but is not like finding good guards late is unheard of.
I don't say you will get the outcome of a top IOL off the bat 100 times out of a 100 in these scenarios, but on the other side having an incompetent one is basically by choice.
Thuney I can see as he was money for the Pats for years. Humphrey going off the way he did as a 2nd rounder IMO is a bonus. A late pick like Smith turning to a starter is luck. Bengals issue is they couldn't sacrifice draft assets to shoot more darts for interior O-line prospects when they also had to rebuild parts of their defense for the future. The price for IOLs in the market is getting higher and making them as key commodities as quality starting tackles. Bears were on a similar track like the Bengals and were just hoping guys like Jenkins, Shelton and their FA signing in Nate Davis solved the issue. But also keep in mind that prior to Brian Callahan taking the HC job for the Titans, Bengals also had a good O-line coach in Bill Callahan.
Cardinals absolutely dominated, that’s the big storyline. Retired the rams season
I know for wins losses September matters but for for how teams play later on the season it doesn’t
I like the timing of this drop, gives me less of a wait before mnf
Ryan Poles has tried to fix the O-line. He's brought in a good amount of new O-linemen, he drafted an RT early, etc but the problem is every O-line player plays worse when playing for the Bears. Lucas Patrick was literally a human anus for the Bears, but he looks serviceable in New Orleans this year. Sam Mustipher was worse as a C than an actual turnstile in Chicago, but he went to Baltimore and played just fine. Etc etc etc, every O-lineman who's come or gone has looked worse with the toilet seat on their helmet than with any other logo. Add to that, that every O-lineman that's remained with the Bears has regressed every year. 2 years ago, Teven Jenkins looked like a legitimate pro bowler when healthy. This year he looks like a practice squaddie out there. When you have an entire position group where every player regresses reliably and every player performs better with other teams, you can only place blame in 1 place; the position group coach.
Chris Morgan is LITERALLY the worst O-line coach in the entire league.
Yeah, not a Bears fan but I saw a play from last week where Nate Davis and Teven each ran by like 3 different defenders on a run play without touching anyone. One guy being lost is one thing, but both on the same play? And these are both guys that have played good football in the NFL within the last few years. How the heck are they being coached to play like that? No other way to explain it except poor coaching.
@@yeahr1ghty I think I know the play you're talking about; JTO talked about it in QBSchool on Patreon. It was 100% supposed to be a play where the RB went outside, and if he had, their actions made sense. But Swift bounced it back inside and without looking back and seeing that Swift had his pants on his head, what they did made total sense. But without that context, it looks like Teven and Davis went full potato.
Chris Morgan is both the O-line coach and the running game coordinator. Chris Morgan is literally cancer.
The bears obituary should be yelled on street corners, from hilltops, in churches. Very well said @bootleg
Welcome back 2019 Chris Godwin
I thought this would be every week 2 game. Damn.
I’ve heard people say shoot for the moon and you’ll get the stars. Bears with their OLine shoot for the stars and don’t leave the stratosphere.
About K. C. it’s not that the refs bail them out with bad calls, the flags in the other team are pretty much always legit, it’s that refs miss NOTHING on the other team when they play K. C. They seem to go all out against the opponent and take a few plays off here or there for K. C. Just my two cents.
Nah last year they got bailed out bigly a couple times by refball against the Vikings and I think jets? The Tay Tay effect
There’s been widespread bias against the chiefs and reffing. People argue that they get all the calls during key moments, which is simply not true. If the penalties getting called are legitimate penalties, then what’s the issue? Where do you draw the line? What about the offsides penalty against KC where Toney had his foot on the line in the bills game? It was a legitimate penalty, but couldn’t you argue that those shouldn’t be called because it’s a key moment in the game too? What about the hands to the face penalty against the chiefs prior to the DPI against the bengals? Frankly, this is getting ridiculous how people cherry pick a few calls and completely ignore others.
@@Kuj41 the difference is that the dpi was something K. C. did to Cincy all game and was never called, just like how the Ravens got called for illegal formation so many times while the cheifs were doing the same thing.

@@evanstensland611 whatever. I’m not going to go down this rabbit hole and argue with someone who’s clearly biased.

Okay not trying to kill Brett’s happy, but did the Texans really look that good? I mean 19 points in however many possessions isn’t something to be excited about. Stroud is amazing but I don’t know if the team as a whole is.
He was going for the ball how is that pi
Didn't MN torch SF last year?
It was a closer game last year than it was this year.
Caleb is in a way WAY better situation than Fields. They’re not exactly setting him up well, but if we’re gonna give Caleb excuses then we gotta think Fields would be a star in most other systems. He looked better than this is with an exponentially worse supporting cast.
Fields' last two weeks was successfully 'attacking' a Falcons and a Broncos defense. Not really consistent top end defensive threats. Meanwhile Caleb had a so-so week 1 game and survived week 2 against a Texans defense that hounded his ass on like the 2nd highest pressure rate of week 2. All while Waldron didn't do diddly on the sidelines while Caleb was looking for answers like trying to assign protection based on his pre-snap reads. Fields would have gone the fetal position harder against the Texans defense with all that pressure.

What a week!!
A giant loss and a giant hot seat heating up, multiple of 'em.
All I know coming out of this week is that Austin Seibert is going to win MVP as the second coming of Mark Moseley. HTTC.
EJ clearly did not watch the Vikings-9ers game. This game was not blow for bliw, the Vikings controlled the game unto mid way in the 4th when they were half a yard away from going up 27-7, but Aaron Jones fumbled. That's the only reason the game ended up close.
And even after the 9ers went 99 yards to get within a score, Darnold and O'Connell led a methodical drive down the field without Jefferson, or Addison or Hochenson, and punched in 3 points to go up by 9 with 3 minutes left and the 9ers were out of timeouts.
Vikings deserve the hype. They were the better team.
Ben Johnson in the redzone - WOOF
Ryan Poles sounds like the new John Schneider. Can build an incredible roster but for some reason will only use patchwork solutions to build an offensive line
TBF Jenkins wasn't a Poles pick. That was Pace's pick before he got canned. So far the only positive O-line pick Poles has gotten that could be a franchise player is Wright whose a top 10 pick. His Oline picks from 2021 were day 3 guys so he was taking chances. FA isn't easier especially with IOL guys looking to get paid and are in demand. Nate Davis could also not be that guy either. All while he had other holes to address in the roster. Just things to consider when the GM can't get super lucky on one draft year hitting on everyone. At least Schneider is on schedule with his overall rebuild hitting on nearly everyone in the 2022 draft.
Speaking for ALL Saints fans:
We do not miss Pete AT ALL.
Cincy fans should be mad at the Chase Penalty, the missed PAT, the Burrow fumble, or the lack of solid o-line play, NOT THE REFS. Also, why was the 7th DB on the field to commit that final penalty of Rashee Rice?
Reminding me that Pete Carmichael is in Denver now explains A LOT from what I have seen these past 2 weeks.
If anything it shows that maybe that Payton offensive coaching tree is super flawed especially in trying to be creative on offense. Payton is just flanked by his old yes-men with Carmichael on a senior advisor role and right hand man Joe Lombardi as OC.
Unfriendly reminder: Connor Williams was available for the Bears to sign for soooo long
As a Saints fan I am literally terrified that we won’t have Kubiak next year with the way he is calling the offense!!
It's amazing how far he's come. He was a below average play caller when he was in Minnesota. I'm predicting he will be coaching the Jags next year.
You should be more terrified that Dennis Allen doesn't do his diligence finding a capable Shanahan tree play caller if that scenario happens. I think the Bucs are fine knowing they let Canales walk to take the Panthers job only to dig back into the well and get former UK offensive play caller Liam Coen to be the OC.
Todd Bowles is an elite defensive coach and the best RedZone coach in the league
The amount of people that were borderline delusional saying chicago is going to the bowl. That o line isnt getting the job done
Given some time I think I may have a diagnosis for the colts.
I think a lot of Richardson’s issues have been made worse by the defense losing the time of possession game so much. He’s raw and not a polished passer, so you expect that you are going to get 3 and outs and maybe even a turnover but his explosiveness means that given enough bites at the apple, he probably rips a huge run or gets a big pass and then you are in better shape. When you give him 20 minutes with the ball and he’s behind all the time, you are basically forcing him to put on the Superman cape and he can do that, but he can’t do it consistently because he’s basically a rookie, not year 6 Josh Allen. I think gus Bradley’s defensive concepts are just outdated. He runs the same shit all the time, and that doesn’t work when you haven’t prioritized top tier defensive talent. You can put some blame on Ballard for not getting good backfield help, but seriously what’s the point of a coordinator if not to make adjustments? If they get the ball run down their throat again I think his seat gets hot, if it already isn’t. I think Steichen feels that way too, I am willing to bet there are entire chapters in his playbook he hasn’t been able to look at because he has to play from behind constantly. In both games the colts were basically behind the entire time. That makes it hard when you know your quarterback is at his worse right now when you are forced to do 10 passes for 6-7 yards a piece to march down the field and scores, so you have to play big high variance plays and sometimes everyone is in awe of the nutty 65 yard pass or left scratching their head at a bad interception.
The Minnesota/San Fran game was not nearly as close as you think it was.
Great video!!
Us University of Washington fans warned you people about Nix’s air-yards deficiencies.
Idk, sean payton’s coaching is making me respect how much of the saints success was dependent on drew brees dragging his entire team to the mountaintop in recent years. Maybe he just doesn’t know the question he’s trying to find answers to.
There is that. But also Payton is feeding him 35~43 pass attempts with opposing defenses knowing he won't attack with big deep shots. While the run game doesn't really do anything.
I've gotta push back on the Bears analysis. We're 2 weeks removed from the season preview where you along with everyone else had Caleb Williams as a lock for ROTY and the first Bears 4k passer, the best position a #1 QB has ever walked into, and said a hard "no" to anyone talking about his obvious red flags.
And now the Bears are doing everything they can to ruin him? Are you kidding me? Yes we know the o-line isn't good, but Williams knows that and saw the same coverage on damn near every 3rd down last night and never once threw a check down or installed a hot route. If you KNOW pressure is coming, then you need to know how to throw out of it and Williams is not tough enough mentally to do that. He's mentally weak and never had to overcome adversity, and now that he's trying the same BS that worked in college in the pros, he's being exposed. He's always coasted off being the most talented player on the field and never worked on the intellectual side of the game and now that he has to think, to process, he can't.
This is exactly why I said he was Ryan Leaf 2.0 and I'm looking pretty right right now
I really think Brett missed the mark on CIN-KC whereas EJ got it. Mahomes really didn’t do anything to win this game, it came down the Bengals defense not executing on that last drive, and the refs calling a penalty they weren’t calling the whole game long.
That being said Brett did hit the nail on the head. Regardless of who you’re playing, you should always be aspiring to win the game on offense. You have to make sure you dictate whether your defense even has the opportunity to lose on the last drive.
Also. I don't know what it is, but Lou Anarumo is one of maybe two DCs in the league that can absolutely flummox Patrick Mahomes and turn him mortal.
Unfortunately the other one coaches Chris Jones in a red polo shirt.
The Dolphins do the same damn thing with their Oline. It makes no sense, especially with an undersized QB.
Time to throw for Caleb was a little misleading cause he was checking it down the whole game
EJ did not watch the Vikings 49ers game if he thinks that game was even. Anyone who watched the actual game, knows it wasnt close. The Vikings defense mostly dominated and controlled the 49ers and the only reason they were in the game was because of turnovers. Thats a blowout game if they dont fumble the ball away at the 1 yard line.
EJ definetly did not watch the Vikings game lol
Who got hit harder Amon-Ra or Celeb
The rams are getting James Pearce Jr
Dont mention CMC is hurt unless you include Addison and Hockenson in the same breath.
I regret to inform everyone that the Ryan Grigson mention confirms that Caleb will be a bust.
EJ “hill of beans” Snyder
Bucs vs lions wasn't so much a football game as much as a match of rock em sock em
Bucs are mid asf. Jared Goof and Ben10 fed them the game
The bucs game plan was take amon-ra mother fucking life, exploiting the fact that they don't have a Mike Evans in the RedZone
Ummmm no, this was not a back and forth affair in Minny. 9ers were 2/10 on third down and what, 1/3 on 4th? Yards aren’t shit if you can’t score or convert. Vikings never lost the lead. The only reason this wasn’t a blowout was because they have a linebacker that will be wearing a gold jacket when he retires.
Vikings were missing WR2, TE 1 (who averages as a top 5 TE) and lost WR1 at the half. Darnold took WR3 and WR4 down the field. Flores had Shannahan’s number until proven otherwise.
Wish you guys would take longer to watch ALL the games in depth and do a like 2-3 hr pod (maybe Tuesday or Wednesday) covering every game, at least a little. Kinda sucks to be a fan of the channel but your team isn't talked about for weeks at a time.
Bears will forever be in purgatory and in hell. We are cursed and I have no reason to believe we are going to make changes bc Poles is stubborn
I dunno, do you want Emery or Pace back?
PLEASE talk more about the raiders. yes we’re not going to be super bowl contenders or anything but they have at least an interesting team. they have ballers in maxx, adams, and now bowers looks legit. the defense is at least enough to be in games. winning on the road vs last years one seed in the AFC as 10 point dogs deserves at least a few minutes of your analysis
I think the Bears' offensive coordinator can draw up plays to mask the O-line.
Miami does it.
He sucked in Seattle - he sucks in Chicago.
That image kills me
I think Deshaun’s off field bs and recent performance have (rightfully) made even the most knowledgeable fans just forget what he was. He was legitimately THE best QB in the league for a time. His stats were beyond incredible. He had, by a huge margin, the best QB season for a team with a losing record in nfl history back in 2020.
Brett is probably the biggest Deshaun hater in sports media. Anytime he can get a tweet off dissing him or open a video with a subliminal shot at him, he’ll take it. Hell even in this video he tried to put all the blame on jags defenders and their defense and have no credit to Deshaun. Idk if it’s bc he’s a Texans fan or because he’s trying to appeal to the masses but he can’t be unbiased when it’s about him
@@loganklein5031 it might have something to do with Watson being a rapist
@@loganklein5031 I mean I think that's warranted. I too am a proud hater of Deshaun Watson. Most people with a moral compass are. I think it's perfectly okay to let a guy's off field character influence your perception of them as a player. Deshaun being a perfect example. He is more detrimental to his team then his stats would indicate because his teammates clearly put forth less effort when he is their QB. The whole Browns roster performed better under every other QB they've trotted out.
I don't like the camera switching, it feels like you're staring into my soul lmao. I like seeing brett and ej reacting to each other side by side. Gonna listen to audio only I think
Should the Dolphins bring back and sign Josh Rosen to see if he can join the 2018 QB class of resurgence with Mayfield and Darnold?
Talk about Bryce Young 😂😂😂
The Vikings v. 49ers game wasn't close, the Vikings was just the better team.
Trey Hendrickson getting closelined right in front of the ref on a crucial play and no laundry whatsoever it's so tiresome.
Bills destroyed the Cowboys by running last year, and the Cowboys have still not improved this serious flaw
It's interesting all the love regarding Brian Flores schemes but didn't they get off to a hot start last year then fizzled out when there was more film on what he was doing. Minnesota looks good but they better stay healthy they have NO depth.
