Buccs McGee has some strong words for the Green Bay Packers after an embarrassing loss to the Carolina Panthers where Bryce Young didn’t do a whole lot in his return. But it gets worse as Tucker Kraft is likely done for the season. A shootout of epic proportions in Cincy as Joe Flacco nearly eclipses a 500-yard game and some rare heroics from Caleb Williams. The Chiefs and Bills renew their rivalry in Orchard Park, how will this affect the playoff standings?
Colts get sloppy and drop one in Pittsburgh, Patriots get a challenge from Atlanta and the Denver Broncos survive a battle of kicks in Houston. And what business do the Lions have losing to JJ McCarthy and Minnesota?

Buccs McGee sees his Tampa team on bye this week while nutmeg2palmetto's Colts venture into Pittsburgh, a place where things haven’t always been so kind to Indy. The Buffalo Bills sharpened their game last week in Carolina and now seem ready to host the Chiefs. Will they set themselves up for a chance at playoff success and maybe a sweep should they meet as usual in the postseason? Or is KC too hot to put out right now?
PLUS, an extended XTRA PTS round to kick off Week 9 as we look at teams that are trying to stay in the playoff picture and if a loss this week could deep-six their chances. The Falcons head to Foxboro, CIncy and the Bears duke it out, Houston hosts the Broncos, the Vikings travel to MoTown, the Panthers to Lambeau, and Jacksonville is off to Sin City. Whose seasons will we prepare to sit at the losers bracket after these games conclude?

J-E-T-S! Win! Win! Win! A monstrous comeback lifts Gang Green to their first win of the season as the force-feed JaMarr Chase strategy finally fails. The Falcons get walloped on South Beach and San Francisco doesn’t even bother showing up as they visit the Texans. No Lamar, seemingly no problem this time around for the Ravens as the Bears… well, I guess we can just chalk that one up to being the Bears.
The Broncos and Bills are off the Fraudulent Penthouse list for now after blowout performances. The Eagles get Saquon Barkley back on track as the Giants lose more than the game and yet again, it’s 2005 all over again as the Pats and Colts lead blowout victories, the latter of which might solidify Jonathan Taylor as the MVP favorite.

It’s old school night in LA with the old San Diego Chargers uni’s but Oronde Gadsden has made it very new school as he continues his coming-out party. The Ravens fight for dear life in Lamar Jackson’s expected return versus the Bears and the Bills need to beat someone they should for once as they head to Carolina. The Broncos have had some shaky wins, are they due for more drama hosting the Dallas Cowboys? And Aaron Rodgers returns to Green Bay as the Steelers look to stay in first.
The season is also on the brink for a few teams, the Bengals strive to achieve .500 again against the winless Jets, the Falcons look to rebound versus the hapless Dolphins, the Texans are in a must-win hosting CMC and Niners and Washington shelves Jayden Daniels again due to injury and face an uphill task on Monday squaring off with the red-hot Chiefs.

Those Eagles are really finding their passing game as both elite wideouts put on a show against the Vikings but where does that leave Saquon? Speaking of monster efforts, Jonathan Taylor led the charge in a thrashing of the Chargers in LA and the Rams made light work of the Jags in London behind Matt Stafford’s ageless arm even in spite of Travis Hunter’s coming out party. The Bucs laid an egg in Detroit as the Lions rebounded from their beatdown in KC and things are really looking rough for the Texans after JSN lifted the Seahawks to victory. Battle of the Backs took off by the Bay. CMC and Bijan Robinson both put up gaudy numbers but why was the Falcons star off the field at the most critical time?
And yes, oh yes, how bad it must feel to be a Giants fan after a spirited road effort against the Broncos only to give up 33 points in the fourth quarter.

The Eagles need a rebound against the fresh-off-a-bye Minnesota Vikings and the Colts and Chargers duke it out for AFC Supremacy. Washington and the Cowboys have had inconsistent seasons but a chance pitted against each other allows for the opportunity to get back in the mix for the NFC Wild Card picture. And the London finale features the Rams licking their wounds off a lackluster win over the Ravens and the Jags equally seeking to get back on the winning track from a loss to those Seahawks. Primetime features some playoff contender-worthy matchups as the Falcons enter the Bay Area fresh off a huge win over the Bills, the Lions and Bucs renew their rivalry in Motown and the Seahawks welcome in the Texans trying to keep their season above water.
PLUS, there’s some potential trap games this week. Which has the best to pull an upset? Arizona over the Packers, the Giants in Mile High, the Jets seeking their first win at home against the hot Panthers or the Raiders heading into Arrowhead?

Buccs McGee recaps a wild victory over the M.A.S.H. unit 49ers who only seem to rack up more of those injuries. Joe Flacco debuted and found paydirt with JaMarr Chase but the Cincy defense was still no match for the Packers. Some spirited late efforts by the Panthers and Chargers tell very different stories for Dallas and Miami, respectively, and Jacoby Brissett steps in late for Kyler Murray this week to give his old team in the Colts a bit of a scare. Lamar Jackson may be back for the Ravens next week but is it too late after a loss to the Rams, even if it wasn’t as lopsided as originally thought.

Reaction to the Eagles & Giants as Philadelphia could not get back on the winning track. Lamar Jackson hasn’t practiced all week, should he not be able to go will this doom the Ravens playoff chances? There’s a new QB in Cincinnati as Joe Flacco tries to re-inject life in his arm with new targets JaMarr Chase and Tee Higgins… but is less than a week enough to learn a whole new playbook? A surprising matchup between playoff contenders in Seattle and Jacksonville plus a proving ground for the Bucs and 49ers as both teams stand at 4-1. And what was once thought to be a Super Bowl matchup, the Lions head into Arrowhead to see what could’ve been and try to drive a stake further into the Chiefs coffin.

Bad day for the New York... errr, ew Jersey teams as the Jets defense gets lit up by Dak and the Cowboys and the Giants fall in a come-from-behind win by the New Orleans Saints. Speaking of comebacks, the Eagles played with enough fire and it finally burned them as the Broncos steal one on the road. Daniel "Indiana" Jones keeps the Colts flying high, Carson Wentz and Bryce Young steal victory from the jaws of defeat for the Vikings and Panthers, respectively, so does that mean Mike McDaniel is on is way out the door imminently?
Oh yeah, the Ravens. No Lamar and A LOT of problems. Could Baltimore's season really be toast now?

The NFC West is a total crapshoot! The Niners and Rams duke it out to kick off Week 5 and Seattle hosts the Bucs to have a say in the matter as well. The Colts look to rebound while hosting the upstart albeit struggling Raiders. The Broncos have seemingly righted the ship but face a stiff task in Philly and the road to stay out of the Fraudulent Penthouse begins as the Ravens return home to face off against the equally desperate-to-rebound Texans. Jayden Daniels makes his return in LA against the Chargers and here come the Chiefs! Rolling into Jacksonville on a Monday Night.
PLUS, desperation bowls abound! Jets host Dallas, Jaxson Dart sans Malik Nabers head into winless New Orleans, the Panthers and Dolphins square off… and yikes, who shreds who worse? The Lions in Cincy or the Bills hosting New England?

Womp womp! The streak is over, Bucs and Colts lose but what’s the fallout in the NFC playoff picture because of it? The Ravens, well, just… WOW. Need some soul-searching after this one, Michael Penix is back as it becomes clear Washington really needs Jayden Daniels. Jaxson Dart proves the doubters wrong in his debut and Aaron Rodgers and the Steelers defense puts in another solid effort as the Vikings may miss JJ McCarthy more than any other team misses their starter on this Sunday.

The Cardinals and Seahawks kick off Week 4 surprisingly vying to challenge the Rams and 49ers for first place. Our first international game off the year is on deck and the first EVER from Ireland between the Vikings and Steelers. Jaxson Dart debuts for the Giants after Russell Wilson’s less-than-stellar performance against the Chiefs defense and the those very same Chiefs host the Ravens looking to rebound from their Monday Night thriller against Detroit. That’s not the only rivalry in town as Buccs McGee’s Tampa squad hosts their long standing playoff grudge match opponent, the Philadelphia Eagles in a battle of undefeateds. And who is primed for a bigger offensive explosion? Jordan Love’s Packers against a porous Cowboys defense or Bo Nix and the Broncos who really need a huge performance against a Bengals unit fresh off allowing a near-50 point barrage.

Happy times continue for the podcast as both the Colts and Bucs venture into the land of 3-0! But Indy’s path was a lot easier than Tampa’s. A wild comeback in LA lifts the Eagles to 3-0 as well and wow zowie, the Green Bay Packers couldn’t put the pedal to the metal in the Dawg Pound and leave with a defeat snatched from the jaws of victory. Aaron Rodgers changes the all-time records standing and of course, the latest display of porous defense by the Bengals and Cowboys.

Reaction to the battle for 1st in the AFC West between the Raiders and Chargers and why is this? Because the Kansas City Chiefs are in unfamiliar territory at 0-2! Guess who’s NOT 0-2? Buccs McGee’s Tampa Bay Bucs and nutmeg2palmetto’s Colts. Happy days on the podcast. Joe Burrow leads a charge of QBs hitting the IR this week, the Ravens storm back to make themselves look elite again and the bar seems to be set pretty low in Pittsburgh for quality defense.

The Lions are Super Bowl favorites but got waxed in Lambeau, and the Dolphins got smacked around in Indy but welcome in a Pats team off a tough loss to the Raiders and looking to get the Vrabel era back on track. The Bengals may have won but didn’t look so impressive doing so and need to get Joe Burrow and JaMarr Chase back on track. The Kansas City Chiefs face a tall task in the Super Bowl rematch with the Eagles, can they avoid falling to 0-2? Plus, JJ McCarthy’s encore performance off that Monday Night comeback and the battle of the horses between Denver and the Colts and what surprisingly looks like a battle for the first between the Chargers and Raiders.

A happy podcast ensues as nutmeg2palmetto’s Colts wash out the Dolphins and Buccs McGee’s Buccaneers down the Falcons for the first time in over a year. QBs square off against their former teams as Aaron Rodgers and Justin Fields came ready to pour on the points and eventually, someone actually wanted to win that AFC North contest between the Bengals and Browns. Speaking of reunions, the Pete Carroll era got off to a fast start with a win in Foxboro over the Patriots plus all the fallout from divisional rivalries between the Niners and Seahawks and Lions and Packers where…. Jared Goff may be missing Ben Johnson, and an unexpected tight one in Denver with the Titans!

Hot off the press! Packers young D gets a jolt of a veteran superstar in Micah Parsons but it's still the Detroit Lions sandbox especially with the Vikings risking goodbye to Sam Darnold and turning the keys over the young JJ McCarthy returning from injury. But can the Motown withstand the challenges of losing both heralded coordinators in the offseason? And of course, can Caleb Williams turn an oft-uninspiring rookie campaign into big time numbers behind one of those heralded coordinators as Ben Johnson takes over the Bears.

It's QB city in the AFC North! As Lamar Jackson and Joe Burrow vie for dominance at the position. Question marks abound for both as the Bengals try to FINALLY get off the season on a fast start and the Ravens worry about keeping things together at the opposite end of the season and finally achieving postseason success. Aaron Rodgers tries one more time at one last shot at glory with Mike Tomlin and the perpetually average Pittsburgh Steelers PLUS a quarterback bonanza in Cleveland... but not necessarily in the best of ways.
