Released slightly later than usual (sorry). Also, John refuses to go on the internet during this one so has very limited resource.

Other than that it's another episode of the highest quality.

We're talking...

• Denver Broncos' statement win over rival Kansas City Chiefs
• The Los Angeles Rams being the best team in football (arguably)
• We review some of John's pre-season predictions and expose him for the fraud that he truly must be
• and then Paul's phone malfunctions and we end it

The NFL trade deadline passed ages ago but we hadn't mentioned it yet so we spoke about it this week.

We also declare which of the struggling teams are officially cooked...

• Are the Tennessee Titans cooked? yeah, obviously
• Are the Cincinnati Bengals cooked? maybe.. but Joe Burrow is just around the corner
• Are the Minnesota Vikings cooked? I think so... they're 4th place in their division
• etc.

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)

• Taking big swings on rookies in the late rounds of the draft

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^

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).
