This is our episode for Week 7 of the NFL season and I remembered to click record from the start this time - what a joy.

We're talking...

• Jalen Hurts' perfect passer rating against Minnesota Vikings.
• San Francisco 49ers complete performance on Sunday Night Football against Atlanta Falcons.
• Detroit Lions with a convincing win over NFC rivals Tamps Bay Buccaneers.
• Don't mention the Jags.

John forgot to hit 'record' this week and he's not very happy about it. So instead of a full-length lovely episode, we have this weird shortened version which only includes a small subset of things we wanted to talk about.

We do cover a bit of...

• The emergence of New York Giants' rookies Jaxson Dart and Cam Skattebo.
• Season-ending injury to Fred Warner - a huge blow to the 49ers.
• Looking forward to Rams against Jaguars at Wembley (in London, in England)

A break to our scheduled programming this week because Paul and I both forgot we were going on holiday (whoops). So instead of a week 5 review, we're chatting through our fantasy draft from this season.

We talk...

• Strategy of when to take your TE or QB in Fantasy football.
• Taking big swings on rookies in the late rounds of the draft
• Is it ever okay to take a Dallas Cowboys player?
• Other stuff

NFL season, week 4 review. All the usual fun of the fair.

We're talking:

• Adonai Mitchell's costly fumble for the Colts against the Rams.
• Eagles' half-impressive display against the Bucs, including a fake tush-push.
• 49ers mounting injury woes which continue to get worse week on week.
• Bengals' capitulation and the pressure that mounts on head coach Zac Taylor.
• Probably other stuff

Paul isn't here this week so it's just me (John) - sorry.

I talk at you about a couple of the big storylines from Week 3 and 4 of the NFL season:

• Blocked FG by Jordan Davis sees Philadelphia Eagles get a dramatic late win over the Los Angeles Rams
• Scrappy game in San Francisco sees the 49ers edge past the Arizona Cardinals - though at the cost of losing Nick Bosa for the rest of the season.
• Shootout in Baltimore where the Detroit Lions assert themselves as serious contenders (again) against Lamar Jackson's Baltimore Ravens.

Week 2 of the NFL season is done and in the books.

This week we're talking...

• San Francisco 49ers road victory over the New Orleans Saints, which saw Mac Jones find his feet again, and saw missed opportunities for the Saints which left Spencer Rattler still searching for his first win.
• Los Angeles Chargers incredible defense which held the Las Vegas Raiders to only 9 points on Monday Night Football (sorta).
• Baker Mayfield doing Baker-things to propel his Tampa Bay Buccaneers team to 2-0 after a last minute winner against the Houston Texans on actual Monday Night Football.
• We also barely mention the Cowboys.

There is finally NFL football to discuss, so that's what we're going to do.

We're talking...

• NFL Kickoff game where we saw the Philadelphia Eagles unconvincingly beat the Dallas Cowboys despite Jalen Carter's ridiculousness.
• The mammoth fixture on Sunday Night Football that saw the Buffalo Bills mount an incredible comeback over the Baltimore Ravens.
• The debut performance from 2024 first round quarterback JJ McCarthy - not necessarily perfect but he found a way to win (something he's very used to by now).

Football is back! Well, nearly. Week 1 is just around the corner, so we're looking at some of the key match-ups and things we're excited to see.

We're talking...

• Micah Parsons blockbuster trade from the Dallas Cowboys to the Green Bay Packers
• Kansas City Chiefs' week 1 trip to Sao Paulo to play the Los Angeles Chargers.
• Will Aaron Rodgers get revenge on his former team when the Pittsburgh Steelers face the New York Jets?
• Can a week 1 game really be an MVP decider? That's right, it's the Saints vs the Cardinals. Only joking. Well that game is happening, but I'm of course referring to the Bills against the Ravens. Lovely stuff.

We're ranking quarterbacks again. Not another one! Yes, another one, deal with it. This one has a slightly different, though not original format.

We're talking...

• How close is Jayden Daniels to breaking the Big Four?
• Is Trevor Lawrence still a solid starter? Or are we being fooled by his college tape and long locks?
• What do we think about Bryce Young? Can we safely assume he is good now? Or might he regress to his former self again?
• Same questions but for Sam Darnold^

We're making predictions for the upcoming 2025 NFL season. Starting with the end of season awards, and going on to Super Bowl predictions and who will get the first pick in the 2026 NFL Draft.

Simple game of this or that, A or B, what's more likely, etc. this week. We'll be asking questions about how we see the upcoming 2025 NFL season unfolding.

• Will Kirk Cousins spend the whole 2025 season on the Atlanta Falcons?

The final of our NFL divisional round-ups is here and we just about finished in time for Paul to go to work.

This week it's everyone's favourite division (outside the AFC North?) - the NFC West.

We're talking...

• The Los Angeles Rams' stacked roster - are they legit Super Bowl contenders?
• Can Marvin Harrison Jr. take a step forward to propel the Arizona Cardinals into the playoffs?
• Will a new look Seattle Seahawks offense actually work? Or will it at least work enough to allow their impressive defense to win them games?
• With loads of change for the San Francisco 49ers, can their defensive rookies can charge and get the 49ers back to the NFC championship game (where, I'm sure we all agree they belong).

We continue our NFL divisional round-ups with the NFC South.

This week, we're talking...

• Are the Tampa Bay Buccaneers true Super Bowl contenders?
• How much of a difference can Michael Penix make for the Atlanta Falcons?
• Can the Carolina Panthers become a relevant team in 2025?
• Are the New Orleans Saints truly in a re-build?

Our round-up of NFL divisions in the run up to the 2025 season continues with the NFC North. This week however is not like the others. This week we are joined by friend of the pod and Green Bay Packers fan, Jake.

Between the three of us we cover:

• How the Chicago Bears will fare with new Head Coach Ben Johnson.
• Can the Detroit Lions run it back after losing both offensive and defensive coordinators?
• The Green Bay Packers' weird wide receiver room - including recent draft acquisition Matthew Golden from Texas.
• JJ McCarthy's second attempt at a rookie season, but now there's some serious pressure to deliver results (and ideally stay on the field).

With our AFC round-up behind us, we arrive at our NFC round up, beginning with the division that everyone loves to hate - the NFC East.

We're talking...

• Can the Philadelphia Eagles run back their Super Bowl success?
• Can the Dallas Cowboys emerge from their injury-plagued nightmare to be a true contender again?
• Will Jayden Daniels continue to inspire the Washington Commanders to success?
• Will anyone care about the New York Giants this time next year?

Our final division round-up of the AFC. We're looking at each team in the AFC West to try and get a sense of what shape they'll be in for the 2025 NFL season.

We're talking...

• Do the Denver Broncos have the best secondary in the NFL?
• Can Jim Harbaugh continue to lead the Los Angeles Chargers in the right direction?
• Can the Kansas City Chiefs return to being an offensive powerhouse? Will Travis Kelce be a part of that?
• Will the big additions of Pete Carroll, Geno Smith, and Ashton Jeanty, get the Las Vegas Raiders into the playoff discussion.

Which NFL division comes under the microscope this week? That's right, the clue was in the title all along, it's the AFC South. Everyone's (least) favourite division.

This week we're talking...

• Can Indianapolis Colts succeed with Anthony Richardson (or Daniel Jones) or will they be looking to fix their QB spot in 2026.
• Will Liam Coen and Travis Hunter be able to inject some juice into the Jacksonville Jaguars organisation?
• How close are the Texans to a real Super Bowl run? If they can sort the offensive line out then they may be closer than people think.
• We also do remember the Titans. You're welcome.

The second of our divisional overviews for the 2025 NFL season. Last week was the AFC East, this week is the AFC North, who knows what will come next.

This week we're talking...

• The frankly bonkers quarterback situation at the Cleveland Browns where they have four brand new signal callers.
• The Cincinnati Bengals doing very well go get their star WRs paid and are now dragging their feet and failing to pay their defensive guys - even though one of them is a rookie.
• Aaron Rodgers and expectations for the Pittsburgh Steelers.
• + something about Baltimore Ravens

We begin our divisional round up of the NFL for 2025 by looking at the AFC East.

We're talking...

• Can the Buffalo Bills run it back without improving their wide receiver room? Can they get over the hump and finally beat the Chiefs in the playoffs?
• What do we make of the Miami Dolphins in 2025? With Jalen Ramsey apparently heading for the door, can Mike McDaniel and his team recapture the heights of 2023?
• Why is John overdosing on the New York Jets cool-aid? Can Justin Fields really do what Aaron Rodgers couldn't and turn this seemingly doomed franchise into a winning machine?
• The New England Patriots have had, on paper, a really impressive offseason. Can they put it together on the field and become, dare I say, average?
