Purdy played lots of games without Debo last year and won them all. The problem was when they lost Trent. Without him that OL is an absolute abomination. If there's an MVP for that offense it is Trent.
The defense during those three weeks was selling out a lot of points as well. Steve Wilks hopefully has worked out the kinks in that defense and chase young helps on that side as well.
It’s crazy how good he still is at his age
@@liammcg2924 Only game the defense was really bad was against the Bengals. The other 2 games they didn't allow that many points.
This is just facts man. Trent and Banks are really carrying that unit, and Trent is a lot better than Banks. Rough unit honestly.
@@derekrau8236 Feliciano has improved the right side of the OL big time. Even Mckivitz is playing better with him.
Falcons getting talked about in the shit teams video last week and in the playoffs teams video this week is a very accurate description to how this team plays
They went from the 9th overall pick to the 19th overall pick in one week lol
Trent is the real key for the 49ers. Aiyuk missed at least one game earlier in the season, 49ers still put up 30. Lost Deebo last year for 3 or 4 games and offense didn't skip a beat. Trent goes down and the run game suffers and Shanahan doesn't have a dropback passing game. They need the run game for the play action passing.
Never thought my colts would be talked about as a playoff team 3 months ago but here we are. Shane Steichen deserves COTY for the job he’s done.
37:26 Welp, there goes the Eagles Super Bowl hopes. The Kollmann curse is now in full effect.
As a 49ers fan and NFC fan, I'm gonna say that you are slightly (and only slightly) off on your "fatal flaws" for the 49ers and the Eagles.
For the Eagles, their fatal flaw is that their LBs and Safety's aren't that good...which is why they have a terrible 3rd down defense. And that fatal flaw is a bad one to have when CMC, Kittle, Deebo, LaPorta, Gibbs, and Montgomery are on teams you'll probably have to play in the playoffs.
For the 49ers, you are correct that the answer is obviously health....but I'll argue that it's purely the health of Trent Williams. He's literally irreplaceable in a way no other player on the 49ers is. I'd argue that an injury to Purdy or CMC would be easier to overcome than losing Trent.
The Kollman Curse became the Kollman Blessing for GB lol
its so nice to be a pats fan with no hope and prayers of losing because i can finally hope my favorite players win (godspeed Russ and Sean Payton) without feeling bad about our playoff picture!!
Fuck the pats, I'm praying you guys are in the basement for the next 30 years
One of the first times, if not the first time, many Pats fans are experiencing this lol
Who's favorite player is Russell Wilson? Lol
@mobbinReelDeep tussel Wilson was an electric starter for nearly 10 years before this broncos business, he threw a beautiful deep ball and ran (he don't do much running anymore cause he's 35)
What makes me optimistic about the Steelers secondary is Minkah coming back this week and the fact that they’re having Peterson play more zone. Could hold up
trenton thompson looks like he might’ve been a find for strong safety and i’m holding out hope darius rush makes it to the cb2 spot. pat p goes inside for man and minkah comes back. could wind up a damn good secondary.
I was going to say something but then I remembered that this is an intellectual show so I translated my thoughts into a higher level of speech:
a wild or half-tamed horse of the western US
a nation with its own government, occupying a particular territory
suggesting that you and someone else should do something
sit on and control the movement of (an animal, especially a horse), typically as a recreation or sport
BCLR
I’m a bit slow lol so can someone please explain this comment to me? They’re saying about the Broncos I believe but beyond that I’m lost lol
Edit: Nvm lol I got it now. “Broncos country, let’s ride!” (As I said before, I’m a bit slow lol)
You brought up Evan Engram as a YAC threat that the Jags aren't using, and I think the fact that he still doesn't have a TD on the year is emblematic of the issues the Jags have as a whole
You guys crush it every episode
Love bootleg keep it up, y’all are the best!!
Would be nowhere without all of you.
I think the biggest issue with the jags is their lack of push in the interior of the O-line. Fortner plays way too high and just cant get any push in short yardage scenarios. The jags/ press taylor have literally given up on trying to run it down the middle on goal line or 3rd and 1/ 4th and 1. They've failed damn near every time trying to get one yard.
The thing is, if Jake Elliot isn't Jake Elliot it's the Eagles that end up losing that game b/c of self inflicted wounds.
I know you guys have a set time limit on your shows, but I really would have loved to hear your guys thoughts on Denver and Houston in the AFC playoff race. Both teams play each other next week, high chance of whoever wins stealing that last wildcard spot. I can't speak for Houston, but Denvers schedule looks incredibly promising.
As a Packers fan who's surprised we're in the position we're in and are even in the conversation, I hard agree with you. Texans and Broncos are some dark horse contenders that need discussed for sure.
Texans schedule has held up well in terms of ease all season long. They are running into some brick wall defenses coming up with the Jets and Browns along with their Titans circuit nestled in between. I think they can eke out 4 wins in the next 6 weeks. The Broncos can pull it off but the Chargers circuit may be tough to win both just because Herbert on offense is always a factor. If they can steal one against the Lions at their home, that would be huge for them.
1:24:52
The "fatal flaw" of the Seahawks is their incredibly outdated play calling and scheme. Its an issue that goes all the way to the top.
Opposing defenses have figured them out, and they refuse to modernize or even just adjust their defense and offense to combat how their opponents counter their limited play design.
Us in the first half and the 2nd half are like 2 different teams and it hurts to watch
Yeah, EJ and Brett's analysis is pretty goddamn lazy here. "Geno just needs to hit the deep shots". How about we run an offense where moving the ball isn't predicated on taking a shotgun drop, expecting the (shitty) pass pro to hold up and taking deep shots all day? And maybe DK Metcalf can catch a pass that hits him in both hands once in a while would be nice.
Homage merch lets go!!
It's ridiculously comfy. Your relatives will shame you for not ordering any. 🤣
Hell yeah brother
Rashee Rice in Vegas did have a great sideline catch that he made over the shoulder which had a passing depth of about 18 yards. I agree he needs more of that, but I think he has the potential to get there. Reid and Nagy just have to expand his route tree.
When people call the cowboys and the dolphins frauds, they’re not saying they’re bad teams
Exactly, they're really straw manning it. No one is saying those teams are bad. They're just saying they're not in the same tier as like the Chiefs and Eagles and 49ers
Thank you for giving Elliott a shout out. That was an epic kick that is not being talked about enough!! 💯 🦅
Thanks for the mashed potatoes recipe Brett the fam loved it!!!
Glad to hear it!
That bootleg shirt with the helmet 😮💨😮💨😮💨
Soooo comfy.
I think Aaron Glenn is not the answer here for us in Detroit. We need a coach that can make adjustments on the fly. I don't think Aaron makes great in game adjustments. So I'm curious to see what happens this off-season.
I wish so desperately that Kirk and JJ never got hurt, this team has shown great things, especially on defense but we just don’t have the talent on offense without them. Embarrassing loss.
Easy first round exit
@@aolkid121 yeah I’d be shocked if we won a playoff game with Dobbs
12:30 buddy deadass had to compose himself before lying on Lamar’s mane here 🤣🤣🤣
Etn hurt his chest early in the game and you can see how he trys to protect himself on the hit at the goal line. The play was there just didn't finish
You will not be able to ignore us for much longer, Brett....MWAHAHAA 🧀
Great vid.
Calvados Brett!! Yes!!
Michael Penix Jr. to Seattle solves the outside the numbers problem. He’s sometimes slow over the MOF but let’s see if that can’t be fixed with a year behind Geno.
Pat pete has been really good the past 4 games even making crucial splash plays
The only major difference between this years colts, and last years absolute garbage fire colts is coaching. And really only the offensive half of the coaching staff. Mannnn if AR can pick up where he left off next season, the colts will be in contention for the division. And if they make a couple good moves in the off-season? I could see them having a Bengals type rise to the top.
Everyone is talking about the Texans/Jags battles in the coming years. But the colts will strongly be in that mix too. AFC South went from one of the worst to one of the best very quickly.
I think I’d have to disagree by a decent bit… JT was injured for good bit of games last year, our O-line was consistently underperforming and we had a really washed up version of Matt Ryan at QB1 and an even more washed Nick Foles at QB2. I’d much have Gardner Minshew than either of those 2, also we have the excellent addition of Josh Downs this year too. Now I certainly agree we’ve had an incredibly massive upgrade at coaching staff and that it probably is fair to say that’s what’s made the biggest difference. But I guess my point is we’ve upgraded in pretty much every area of the offense beyond just coaching, which has all contributed to us performing beyond expectations. Last season was absolutely miserable and the only area in which there’s been a downgrade is the secondary… with us losing Gilmore to the Cowboys, lost Isiah Rodgers to gambling/his own stupidity and then the Dallas Flowers injury a few weeks into the season.
@@Austin.Kilgore None of those are major upgrades. Still don’t have a starting caliber QB. O-Line made 0 upgrades. Jonathan Taylor will have about the same time played as last year. Downgrades at CB. Downs is the only thing that’s been consistently better, and even then Parris Campbell had his best season last year:
@@king_supreme1102 i didn’t any of those were massive upgrades, only the coaching staff was the massive upgrade. But the others were still upgrades nonetheless. Also the O-line underperformed last year and they’re playing much better again this year. Also while yes Gardner isn’t a starting caliber QB, he’s better Matt Ryan. Pretty much every single aspect of the the offense has undoubtedly been consistently better this year. Point is there several minor to pretty decent improvements since last year, paired along with the huge upgrade of the coaching staff. Which I believe has all cultivated in us over performing the pre-season expectations of us
@@Austin.Kilgore So……. You agree with me then. I literally said the coaching was the only big upgrade.
@@Austin.Kilgore I didn’t say “nobody is playing better than last year”. Only Downs and Gardner are decent upgrades. By “upgrade” I mean we actually replaced a player with someone better. I’m saying that we are playing a lot better with mostly the same team BECAUSE of the coaching upgrade. That’s the only major difference. And that’s why we’re going to be extremely dangerous next year when we make more upgrades.
Can’t wait for Dallas to walk the eagles in 2 weeks so I don’t have to hear how they can’t beat good team anymore
I’d say the OL is the Achilles for the ravens. Every loss this year can all be attributed to poor OL play.
And it causes a trickle down effect to where the playcalling becomes very conservative, and the deep passing game still isn't there yet
Falcons fan here. We’re coming
Somehow the Packers have gone from, “We suck, might as well tank if we’re gonna be this bad and fire everyone” to “We’re back!!! Let’s push for the playoffs!!!”, in the span of like a month. Thankfully our remaining schedule isn’t bad, and the Vikings and Seahawks are trending down while we’re going up.
The Packers are this year's Vikings/Giants. In the sense that whatever their record ends up being, they're just going to be a speed bump for the real playoff teams.
It might be preparation with Dallas but I think it’s more just mental error at the most inopportune times. That’s always been the case for the cowboys as I believe overall they have more talent than any team but the talent overthinks. They shoot themselves in the foot way to often because the amount of times I’ve seen them score but it gets called back has scarred me for life.
Packer fan here - McCarthy has never been comfortable coaching against mobile QBs. Kaepernick and Russell Wilson handed him so many L's I'm not surprised Hurts is doing the same.
For the ravens fumbles. A lot of them have been mishandled mesh points between lamar and Hill. I wanna say they've had at least 5
Feels like a majority are mesh points gone wrong, or Lamar drops back to pass and pumps the ball back only to have Stanley or another tackle get beat badly and it's knocked out of his hands.
I mean, the Dolphins are 0-3 vs good teams (Denver is good now, they were not good when they played Miami). No one’s saying their bad I just don’t think their a top 8 team. Buffalo made it clear when they played who the better team was imo. They seem to be regressing slightly as the season progresses. I don’t think the frauds label is so crazy. They’re good, but they’re just not the SB contenders they were once hailed as.
For playoff optics I think the Fins are fine. The Bills look like they are surging but their offense needs to be on that Eagles game level to net 4 wins for a possible wildcard spot. Maybe one of those wins is that last regular season game vs the Fins. Even then I'd take the Fins over the Bills if they met in the wildcard round by January. Once Divisional Round starts then its time to worry who the Fins draw up.
Listening through headphones: every time you pound the table, I think someone's at the door.
Is it snowing outside?
Dak is 8-4 vs Philly btw....
I still believe Andy Reid is holding onto his best plays for the playoffs.
I feel for Fins it may be a match dependent thing the playoffs plus their defense not being at 100%. Of the high profile matchups they have gotten this season, only the Chiefs and the Ravens are the only ones they may possibly meet in the Divisional round. In terms of potential NFC playoff match ups, the Lions may have the most to lose for not being 'perfect' enough to land the 1st seed and the bye. They can get the dome games but they have to run through some real buzz saw defenses by the divisional round that could revert Goff back to 2018.
Gardner Minshew is my favorite QB in the league. I'm sad that he wasn't built around in Jacksonville, at least until we got Trevor in the draft.
Dude I completely understand liking Gardner Minshew as a man but wishing he was your QB1 is just insanity to me. Lol He’s great as a QB2, probably the best QB2 in recent memory but he just simply isn’t QB1 material no matter how much some NFL fans may desperately wish him to be. Usually at least when you have a QB who goes for the risky/big passes behest the danger of an TO, they typically have a big/strong arm that benefits such a playing style. Gardner however is a QB with that sort of style but lacks a big arm to go along with him… so you still get all the risk but with a much reduced chance of award.
@@Austin.Kilgore understand, if we didn't have the number 1 pick in 2020, I didn't have a QB that I liked quite like Minshew. I know he's not necessarily amazing, but there's a certain level of it factor he has that have me QB1 vibes back then.
@@blueredlover1060 Lol Personally as a Colts fan, I’d be perfectly happy if you guys stuck with Minshew as your QB1 and Trevor went elsewhere outside the division.
You absolutely fucking nailed that take on the bears vikings game and i hate you for that🤣 nfc north is the purgatory of the NFL
The MVP is gonna get awarded the same way Rocky won the Great Snail Race
how are you saying OC’s have figured out Flores defense? Vikes D has allowed one touchdown in the last two weeks😂
So basically the 49ers are old christmas lights
1:20:00 oh man 😭
Packers could be on both episodes
Dolphins take aged atrociously lol
Luckily for the ravens by January, they'll be battle tested because they're December schedule is basically the playoffs
Niners aren’t deep but what team has a lot of depth behind their starters?
Brett hit on the circular logic of "can only beat bad teams" narrative. Essentially, their record doesn't count because they haven't beat any quality opponents. How do we do determine who's a quality opponent, by the opponent's record of course. So either everyone is a fraudulent, or no one is. I personally think they're all frauds. Every team in the NFL is just a few bad bounces away from losing a game to Panthers, or (in the Eagles' case) the Jets.
KC = High leverage on individual feats of performance
Seahawks really need Abe lucas back, can't pass protect long enough for the long ball and on 3rd and long in obvious passing they get killed
calling the Bears win is crazy 😂
I think you guys misinterpret and overgeneralize the narrative on the Dolphins. No one is saying they aren't good. They're obviously good. It's that they are not in the same tier as the Eagles and Chiefs because they've lost EVERY game they've had against quality opponents and by LARGE margins at that. It's not just losing to the Eagles. They got DESTROYED by the Bills, who might not even make the playoffs. The narrative is that they're good, but they're not a team you bet on to make the Super Bowl because they haven't proven to be in that tier yet
I rly think the 9ers are meaningfully better than the Eagles
No offense I love the show but don't love the shirt designs would prefer one just with the logo on Brett's hat
Brett you’re just salty the Seahawks aren’t gonna win the west like you predicted.
49ers = OL sucks except Trent
@1:23:20 hey guys, I love your offseason content, but I'm a Vikings fan and you have nothing for me in the season. You might as well keep ignoring us if you only come in with kinda uninformed opinions, this doesn't match up at all to your usual level of content.
EJ a philly homer ...
Other than once having a boss from West Chester (who didn't like me very much) not seeing how this is a thing. 🤷♂
NFC south- existing is reason enough
Lions- don't Thanksgiving it (goff can't play like goff)
Vikings- need QB
GB-dont play SF, Love needs to be OG AR
SF- QB lives and Shanahan doesn't Shanahan
Seahawks- Geno goes back to last year
Cowboys and Eagles are just frauds
Ok but the dolphins and cowboys lose against all 500+ teams. Not just chiefs and eagles
Unreal team....literally second to worst passing defense in football...QB has 16 turnovers....Superstar Wr has vanished....team of destiny tho 😅
