Which NFL Teams Are Cooked This Season? GV Fantasy Updates : IFS Highlight

0:00 All right.

0:01 Let's end it on this. So anybody that doesn't like football, you can bounce now. Luckily, this time we didn't start for an hour and then do the football. We kept to the back here. But firstly, both of them are from Maddie Sakes. Maddie Sakes says, Isaiah Likely, TN1, still available for a trade. And he put the eye emoji.

0:17 And then he also said, I take on Mr. Pastor this week, which I will pull up Sleeper. That percentage. Now, honestly, we've talked about this many times, right? The percentage is up.

0:25 Look at that me and Maddie's percentage right now. because I have bench players that are not playing this week, so the percentage is definitely going to be out of whack.

0:33 But have you replaced them yet? No. So it's just empty slots right now?

0:38 I swapped out Jefferson, I think, but I think Amarian Hampton is still not playing this week.

0:42 No, but you have a full roster still.

0:43 Let's see this.

0:47 My point is, obviously, on Sleeper, the projections aren't always great. It's just like a projection to exclamation, right?

0:54 Yeah, Amarian Hampton is a buy. He's not playing. Look.

0:59 Uh let's see okay so oh you're right okay but so just one player but still the percent right now 71 it's.

1:04 Not good because my bench is totally fucked and i have like multiple like all my players that are like healthy well that are active are like questionable right now they might not even be fucking playing on sunday yeah it's it's rough and maddie's are you two wins in a row now I'm not two wins in a row, but I am two wins. I feel like I upset Detol last week. I really wasn't expecting it to do so well. Plus, I had that one player that gave me zero fucking points.

1:30 I know. Look at Detol's percentage right now with me. 78 to 22.

1:36 He's slipping, man.

1:37 And he has one buy on there only. Only McConkie.

1:42 McConkie. Yeah. And he's on fucking Chargers. You know he's going to get zero points.

1:46 Yeah. Spaz and Bear got a friend. I need to help. Yeah. Kirk, I made a great mistake this time. So, obviously, we're doing fantasy football. We talk lots of football. So, if you want to join the Discord, be in there. I knew better, but I was getting arrogant. I was getting cocky. And you know what?

2:03 It happens.

2:04 Yeah. My league last year, obviously, I only got like one win. And it took a while. I think it took me eight games to get that. So, I went to 5-0 last week. And what does your boy do? course he shares an undertaker meme wrestlemania if you don't know undertaker went on a wrestlemania streak of being 21 and 0 so he went 21 matches at wrestlemania which is like the year ending biggest show of all time no one beat him that was always like who's gonna be undertaker eventually he did lose but i posed the meme of undertaker doing the pose praying to the urn and of course i replaced the 21 over the 5 and 0 and then i i got fucking shit can't but you know what the reason i actually don't mind this is i would lose i would rather lose this

2:44 way every time is i got 139 i actually had the i was in the top three still and i lost so that's pretty good and then john was the best record week with 175 that is actually my favorite way to lose because it's worse when people are injured because you're like fuck i'm falling apart and then it's also bad when you could have won but you.

3:01 Had the person benched because his points are yeah.

3:04 And have you seen his points the whole weeks and then this bastard which is i get it you know don't hate the player hate the game He fucking picked up Josh Jacobs. I feel like we all had a rule. I feel like we were all like, oh, we're not going to touch that guy. Not John. He's going for the win. He's like, I'm going to get him. But yeah, I can't be mad here because like 175, massive number.

3:21 I thought Katie drafted Josh Jacobs.

3:23 And then she dropped. It was auto draft. And then she dropped him. But John's like, I'll take him. But so it is the best way to lose where he just was like he was the best of the week and he just destroyed me. So I'm hoping to bounce back. I got detailed this week, but my.

3:38 jacobs isn't playing though like he's he's not he's gonna be.

3:41 Playing is he is he yeah yeah yeah they took him off because.

3:45 He pleaded guilty and they're like all right you didn't know i think the girlfriend.

3:48 Like rescinded the footage or something i think they're back together or something oh christ yeah but then so this is where for me the hell could be coming in so i lost my first game those bye weeks well right i lost my first game that was humbling and then so i have one two three four people on bi-weeks two of them that are five sorry oh i do yeah cook digs and uh shakir very important for me so that sucks so the bi-week's fine i can deal with that even if you lose one week that's fine so then on sunday night i hear uh krosky mary which i've not played too much but still he's one of the first like uh like in the first 10 i'd Draft him. He's a running back for Washington.

4:31 Could have had some potential. He's IR. And then Sunday night or Sunday afternoon, Devontae catches a ball. He's fucking limping off. He's fucking on IR. Six to ten weeks. And then obviously he's no longer on this list. But then I had Terry McLaren. Fucking Achilles gone.

4:48 Scary Terry.

4:49 So within 48 hours, I lost three of my top ten players. uh, McCrockett, who knows what he's come back. Devante is still six to 10 weeks. So that's like, he might be back when this league's over. I'm like, okay, I'm pulling together people. And then now I got Watson questionable and Robson questionable. I have nobody else. I got, I guess, uh, I got, uh, Mountfield who I picked up today just because he's on the Ram. So like I, if these guys don't get healthy, I really don't know what I'm going to do. So, I said this in the Discord where I think the fantasy football gods gave me five weeks to be undefeated and enjoy fantasy football.

5:30 And then for the next five weeks, they're just going to fuck me big time. And it's not looking good. Which I know you got two and four, but I don't feel bad because I had to be there last year. You're doing better than I was last year, at least.

5:40 Yeah, double your wins. Go to my team right now since we went through yours. I want to feel sad about my performance.

5:53 Or last week you want to go to?

5:55 Either or. I just wanted to see my team.

5:58 So you got Purdy playing this week. Also Hampton's on by. You got Henderson. Good win.

6:02 He's like questionable and also not good. And then a lot of nobodies. He's questionable.

6:08 Yeah, Jefferson, Vikings still 5-0. There you go. You got that going on.

6:12 Yeah, man. One of three teams. Yeah, Hunter Henry. You got me some points.

6:18 Oh, Golden's questionable. That sucks because he's been.

6:20 On fire lately. Yeah, he's been popping off. Yeah, 100%.

6:22 He's doing so good. Yeah, I drafted him last year because everyone's like, oh, he's going to be in the new.

6:27 He was pretty bad. He was pretty bad last year.

6:29 And everyone, though, before was like, oh, he's going to be the new go-to for backers. Yeah, I know, but it can happen. But I believe the hype, so I'm mad I left him to go. But then I had to ask you on the weekly report, you had the Bench Warmer of the Week with Kyle Pitts.

6:45 Dude, I know. Kyle Pitts. Okay, I was going to ask this guy so long ago now, and I'm like, is this going to be my start? Do I even need Maddie's? Scroll down, too, to his weeks. There is zero points. I played him that week, obviously. 2.5, I think I played him that week, and I'm like, okay, I'm done with this guy. 1.5 week, smart decision. He's on my bench. And he starts getting points. Seven, not great, but like points. And then all of a sudden, all of a sudden he's doubling them. 15, 20, 23 points.

7:12 This guy's coming alive right now. Right when I was about to drop him. So I might be playing him this week. He's going to San Francisco. The projections have him a little bit higher. Probably riding off the high from last week. So who knows? It is very tricky.

7:27 Maddie, the only thing, I know you're not maybe looking for this, but the only thing I would like to maybe propose to you, because I guess you do have the story.

7:35 I also feel like I'm going to take Maddie's pick, and then he's going to blow his ACL. Literally, that's going to happen. So that's why I'm so not able to- Remember last week in the chat?

7:43 Who was the tight end? He was trying to trade. He put them on the trade block, and then right after they started limping. Who was it? It was- Was it like, no, it was Kincaid.

7:51 It was Kincaid. Yeah.

7:53 Oh yeah. Cause he's questionable still.

7:54 And he's like, yeah, I was going to make a fucking trade request with him. Like a hundred percent that evening. I was going to.

7:59 Now I don't think you'd go for it, man. This is the only thing. And I'm open to options. Now I know you're probably gonna try and get Jonathan Taylor. You might have to fuck off with that one because you know, last week he disappeared. And that's one thing with the thing with John, I, I, I'm pretty happy.

8:12 One 40 to one 60, like one 40. I could have beat almost everybody else in the league. And that's a great number. I had a few people like Taylor and, That just didn't perform as well as it did. The Seahawks defense sucked ass against... Shit, who did they play last week? There's lots of points scored. They lost two. Yeah, who did they fucking play?

8:34 Who did they play? Was it like Atlanta? Yeah, it was Atlanta.

8:36 Was it Atlanta? Yeah, and they scored a bunch of points. So Seahawks usually give me good points. But Matty, it's not a complete need, but I don't mind sharing my cards a little bit. I would like to hear if you have anything... Reasonable.

8:49 49ers, apparently. Is that true? Oh, right.

8:50 It was 49ers. Okay. I'd like to hear if you have anything reasonable for Jordan Love. You know why? Walk on in here for a second. And we'll see, because I got a backup here, but I got Watson and I like Kraft. I very much like having a quarterback and at least.

9:07 They play in Atlanta this week. That just happened.

9:10 They better win. Fuck, man.

9:12 No, like the one that just happened. They already... That was.

9:14 They did lose them. Yeah.

9:16 Yeah.

9:16 Okay. And they lost to the 49ers, I think, the week before, right? I think.

9:19 Sorry. 49ers just happened. They just lost to them.

9:22 Oh, okay. The week before was Falcons. Exactly. Okay.

9:26 Who they also lost to, right? That was a loss?

9:29 Yeah. Yes, they lost. Yeah. They were only 2-4. So they won the first game. Then won another game with Sam back. So for me, another person. So it was Taylor and Devontae Adams. Did not deliver. Obviously, he got hurt. But he did not. Even before that, he wasn't delivering. Yeah. I had multiple players, obviously, but I felt like the two connections that was working for me was the Stafford-Adams connection.

9:53 They were popping off. Nuka was gone for a while, so that helped, but I love nothing more than the double points. When you got a QB and a receiver and that touchdown happens, your spike goes up. You see that percentage. So now, I have Stafford, but I've lost Adams for about six to ten weeks. And we're at week seven. How many weeks is this again until playoffs? 14, right? Yeah, 14, because week 15. So if I could be without Devontae Adams the rest of the league now. So Stafford obviously can still get me points on a scoring touchdown, but I don't have anyone else. I personally do like to have a quarterback and at least one, maybe two receivers.

10:32 So that's why, Matty, I got Kraft. I got Watson, who's been fucking popping off. I hope he's not hurt, but he's been popping off too. I wouldn't mind having Jordan Love because then I can begin those double dips. But because the points... If Watson popping off, think about all those Watson pop-offs. If I got Love there, double points.

10:51 You can't pop off without Love. I see your reasoning.

10:54 Yeah. So before, the reason I was fine, because I had Jane Daniels, and I thought, okay, on some weeks where I need it, I'll play him, and then I'll play Diggs, and then I'll play McLaren. But McLaren's out. So I only got one player he could throw to, where with Love, he has two.

11:10 So.

11:12 Matty if there's something reasonable I feel like you're going to give me something unreasonable so I don't know where this conversation is going to go but I wouldn't mind having Jordan Love there because I'd like to add up some points because I got no Rams so Matt Saffer can only give me touchdowns and with Daniels the commanders man are something else right now so is there anything I have another football question for Matty is there anything fantasy football specifically related.

11:38 Um I feel like I don't know. I felt so defeated before my first win. I was like, okay, this season's just totally fucking wrapped. I'm trading my fantasy performance for the Vikings being undefeated up until now, which is amazing.

11:53 There's current standings.

11:54 I lost, but I'm still number one.

11:55 The failure's still rocking it.

11:58 I feel like I really have to shift my strategy going into next year. I know it's still early. I shouldn't be thinking about next year's fantasy. But seriously, I feel like last year I was. Last year, I just didn't know what the fuck I was doing. Clearly, I picked so many Vikings players, and we were not good offensively. It was horrible for getting points.

12:17 This year, I was like, okay, I'm going to not... Obviously, I'm going to take my boy, Justin Jefferson, but other than that, I'm going to just pick for what I think, points-wise, I'm going to be getting. Didn't work at all. I can't believe I took fucking Kyle Pitts for whatever round I took him. Definitely, it's a good idea to invest in a solid tight end, I think, early on. And also the draft order, I think, kind of fucked me.

12:40 Because there was many rounds where I'm like, okay, I'm taking this guy this round. And then it'd be taken, like, right before me. It's like.

12:45 Yeah.

12:46 That's just the way the cookie crumbles, I guess, sometimes. It's the beauty of the draft and the draft order. But I have, like, a little bit of, like, optimism kind of shining. I think, like, the next few weeks will be really telling. Like, if I just get beaten down by Maddie and then beaten down by whoever I'm up the following week, then I'll be like, okay, I'm just...

13:06 I'm done. I'm Travis from last year. I'm coached by Aaron Glenn. That's, that's my team. Oh yeah.

13:12 I turned the profile picture black. I didn't do much. I put auto sub on like, I was like, I'm out. Cause you just can't even look. Cause it gets to a point where the, I think the best place to be probably is in that middle pack, like just over the playoffs. Cause like you're having fun, you get wins, loss.

13:28 It keeps it a good balance. I think when you're losing all the time, it just hurts. Like it just rains out on you. And even me, At one, it's like, oh, it's great. But it's just stressful because it's like, okay, now I'm number one. I feel like everyone's gunning for me, which they can't do anything. It's all up to the players.

13:42 But you just feel like, man, what if I fall? And it's going to be a bad fall. Now, luckily, I looked this up that I feel like I think I only have to get to seven to eight wins to lock a playoff spot. So I really just need like two more wins that I can be locked. Even if it's the bottom, I can lock it. But I did not know.

13:57 It's a good feeling.

13:58 Look at these dogs, though, below me. Three, four, and twos just nipping at my heels. Yeah.

14:03 Yeah, they're ready. They're barking.

14:05 They are ready. And I think anyone, if I lose and they win, I think anyone will go number one because I think they all have more points. Yeah, I got points per game is 86-3. John is 90-39. Okay, I have more than Sam, 8-32. And then, oh, Matty, actually, 7-85. How you got that record? Matty, how are you in fourth place? Could be in first place with points for only 785.

14:32 Like me this week.

14:34 Yeah, I do really want to beat Matty because even before I lost streak, he's been chirping at me. He's been talking about, oh, when you get to me, you're not going to be on the feed. Oh, when you get to me, you're going to lose.

14:43 With his Athena Odyssey, like decapitating the Athena statue.

14:46 Yeah. Oh, yeah, he's dropping that. It's like I hit him up on a message. I say, you want to fight? And I started giving him locations where we could go. But I'm looking forward to Maddie, but I very much want to beat Maddie's Sakes. But I go see what happens. When do I got him? I think I got him in two weeks now.

15:03 I think if I take him this week, it would be, like, one of the biggest upsets of my life.

15:08 Absolutely. And it can happen all the time, right? Because even John, he was missing Gibbs and someone else. He's like, oh, I'm going to be out this week.

15:14 Well, fuck, man. Like, this week, I, you know, we did our Adrenochrome Cassie Saturday night and Terrifier. We were up super late. I think I got home... 2 30 in the morning or whatever the fuck it was it was super late so then i'm like okay yeah i'm gonna sleep in a little bit the next day of course there's a fucking game in london that they play at like 6 30 in the morning i have fucking brian thomas jr in my active roster at that point in time who's the biggest fucking dud this guy is such a terrible receiver i mean that with all the heart and love in my or all the love in my heart man, this guy can't fucking do anything. He gave me zero points. He gave me Kyle Pitts week one type numbers, Travis. Like, are you fucking kidding me?

15:55 So I see that of course the game's already over. I can't sub them out or anything. It's like, okay, sweet. I just have zero points to start my Sunday. What a great fucking day this is going to be. Vikings don't even play. I like barely watch football that day. Like I had like red zone on, but I was just like bitter. Cause that's how it started. Vikings had their bye week. So I wasn't watching that game. And then, uh, and then, Sure enough, the day went on. There was some random just pop-offs across the board with the players that I had. Plus Detol, you know, definitely underperformed, which was nice. He was a little bit confident. Ended up taking it. Ended up being a nice little win for me.

16:30 Got my second win of the year.

16:32 I thought you were done with that zero goose egg, the way it was looking. Yeah.

16:37 It's just such a terrible feeling, especially like that's the first game that played. Like the first points that I get on my team, it's zero points and that game's over. So it's not even like it starts bad.

16:47 Yeah. Yeah, exactly. That happened to me last week with Sam. Cause I think I had, um, a really, someone just like with two and it was like a star player. I was like, Oh, and Sam then had like, Oh yeah. Cause he had somebody pop off of like 31 and like nothing worse than your first player sucks ass. And their first player is like, Oh man, it's like, Oh, it's over for me. And somehow I took them. So that's the.

17:06 Week I faced clay. I think it was actually last week. Uh, cause like the Thursday game was, I think it was the Bills against the Lions or the Lions played someone and it was a Thursday game and I should pull it up. But yeah, whatever it was. And it like started really not good for Detroit. And I'm like, oh my God, like I'm actually going to defeat Clay here because he famously, you know, takes multiple Detroit players, which...

17:35 usually pop off. They have a really strong offense and the game went on. And then by the end of the game, he got like 30 something points from like one of his, I think it was Amon Ross, St. Brown. Like I just get stats up the yin yang. I was just like, so defeated. I'm like, are you fucking kidding me? That's how it ends. He just absolutely popped off like that. Or yeah. Cause he doesn't have Jameer Gibbs.

17:57 Somebody has Jameer Gibbs.

17:58 That's John. And he was, he didn't have him this week. He had a buy. And that's where John's like, Oh, you got me. And Hey, I said, Any given Sunday. Because, again, it's all fucking random, right? Injuries and everything. So, yeah. I'm preparing for some bad stuff. Lost three players. I got two players questionable. I'm not ready for this week.

18:16 But what I am ready is for this list. Maddie said, on a scale of 1-10, how cooked is this team in their season? 10 being absolutely cooked. All right, Kirkland. The Giants. 1 out of 10. How cooked are they? They announced they're starting J.J. McCarthy Sunday.

18:31 Yeah, my boy.

18:33 Winston, he's out. The Winston experience is over for now. Scale of 1 to 10, how cooked are they?

18:40 What's their record right now?

18:44 I think it's like 3-3 or 3-2 or something.

18:48 What's the cooked mean? Playoff spot? Are the Chargers level 0-6? What's going on?

18:57 I think the fact that he didn't put Chargers on this list, I think we know.

19:00 That's the side of the spectrum.

19:02 Yeah, because all these teams, well, I guess some of them could make the Super Bowl. I would say 10. Let's put the barometer at 10 is absolutely not making playoffs.

19:13 Oh, 10 then. Yeah. Actually, I feel like that sounds more extreme. I feel like 10 is like the coaches being fired.

19:20 I was going to say, let's say 9 is not playoffs. 10 is years worth of damage.

19:27 For the Giants, I want to say like a 7. or something like like like although yeah okay this year isn't going to be the year playoffs wise but like they still have a lot of young players and like potential uh john harbaugh's like first season obviously you can't put all of like the lack of no yeah exactly you can't put that on this guy like there's like serious injuries they're starting quarterback quarterbacks out.

19:49 Um still winston every week.

19:54 Can you run this play how did those coach meetings go and he's.

19:57 Just the shepherd will bring us what we need and then we'll deliver what they give us and what do you say what's it can you just throw the ball 30 yards i'm gonna do my best for the team for the team yeah You.

20:09 Have one crab leg. That's my favorite one, too.

20:11 The team's nothing without me, and I'm nothing without the team. And together, with you, the coach, we're going to win. We're going to lead to the glory. Okay, just fucking get out there. But now he's benched, he's going to be hearing that more. Yeah, you see young guys, but like Scadabo, his head's going to explode at any moment.

20:27 He ain't lasting.

20:29 He legitimately won't last long. What's the longevity of a... I know it depends on the position, for sure, but a position like that, I feel like it's... eight years max obviously there's the freaks of nature out there like king henry um who else has played a long time christian mccaffrey he's been in the league for a long time now.

20:47 For a while mccaffrey's legs kept going.

20:49 Yeah yeah it just comes with the territory it's a very physical sport especially that position but i don't know i feel like seven is like fine like yeah this.

20:58 Is a playoff chance eh because nine's the absolute no playoffs that's.

21:03 What i mean it's three and two right now you said right they have a winning record or like three and three maybe Well, they have.

21:08 A tie, too, remember? Because Jane Daniels fucked up that fourth down.

21:12 Oh, my God, that's right. I don't know. Seven and a half? Like, in that range.

21:21 I'm going to go nine, because they're not making the playoffs. I can't say absolutely not, because, yeah, John Harbaugh, maybe we'll see what happens. The reason I'm going a bit higher than you is we still just don't know, like, what's the deal with Jackson Dart, right? Like... We didn't get to see last year if he was really the big deal because he kept getting injured. And then now he already got injured. Like, unfortunately for the guy.

21:42 Could just be very injury prone.

21:43 Well, yeah.

21:44 His career could already be over.

21:46 You know? Or fucking Jane Daniels.

21:47 I wouldn't go that far.

21:49 No, but I mean, like, what if next year he comes back for a couple games and gets injured again? Like, that's what I mean. It's not like that sort of way where to be... He could be operating at a high level, but if his body gets hurt enough, that high level might be gone, right? So that's what I mean by career over. Like, sure, it might be a backup or something, but if he's getting... hit all the time and he's getting hurt and i think hey there's there's not a future with him so that's what i'm saying nine because there's i won't say 10 that they're absolutely cooked um because there's still some potential but i think nine where it's not going to go the good this year they'll still get some wins but and jj

22:21 mccarthy i know he did that comeback but also again first first play of the game throws that pick so we don't know what he's got but i don't.

22:28 Um in the giants game is that what happened i didn't even watch my first first drive my boy.

22:32 Through a pick yeah So, yeah, I'll go a 10 there. Or, sorry, a 9. They're not a 10. What about the Colts? Obviously, last year, Danny Dimes, Indiana Jones, they were looking prime for the playoffs.

22:45 What's the record right now?

22:47 I think it's like 2-4. Keep asking me like I'm a savant here.

22:51 I know. I don't have them up in front of me. I should pull them up.

22:53 I'm pulling them up. But last year, they were like the team to beat, and then Danny Dimes went down. So they're 2-4 right now.

23:01 I don't know if they were the team to beat last year.

23:04 You don't think so? You don't think that was the narrative that everyone said it's the Colts year and then he went down?

23:08 He didn't make the playoffs.

23:09 Because he went down with injury, Daniel Jones.

23:13 Yeah, but if it's like their team, well, it's like if it's their team, like the team to beat, well, then like that's like Seahawks level of like their defense. Like their defense is just so fucking good no matter what they're going to get in the playoffs.

23:26 Has it been winning them games?

23:27 Has it been winning them games? Well, don't they not have the same defense last year? Did they lose a bunch of players?

23:31 Yeah, but everyone still.

23:31 Talks about Seahawks.

23:33 Everyone talks about Seahawks' number one defense. It's like, yeah, but look, Sam Darnold's playing like shit, and look at that record. I'm not saying defense is not important, but I still think, I hate to say it, I still think quarterback is probably the most important position, and that's where it's like. So then why would I say they lose Daniel Jones? Yeah, the team's still there. It's still the same team. It's like they lost the guy.

23:53 Yeah, I don't know.

23:57 So if they're the team to beat and the number one guy who goes down, I would look at it as like.

24:01 I just feel like the team to beat is like a complete team that like....

24:06 They were complete until he went down.

24:08 Did they have a really good defense? I feel like I just never pay attention to Indiana. I'm sorry, Matty Sags and some other Colts fans out there, but there's just certain teams I just do not pay attention to.

24:19 And unfortunately, that's... I could be wrong, but people after this in the Discord, when you're listening, I feel like last year they were the team to beat until Daniel went down. It was like a big what-if scenario. Like, what if he could have been okay? You know, I could be wrong, but clearly this year, not the team to beat. Well, they're the team to beat over and over and over again. But yeah, two and four. And some just gnarly losses, too.

24:46 I should pull up the... Were they like bad losses?

24:51 I think their loss is the teams you wouldn't think they were losing, and I think they're close enough games where it's like they could have won.

24:57 They lost to Rodgers. Oh, they beat Commanders.

25:00 Yeah, Steelers are 4-2.

25:02 They lost to the Titans. Whoa.

25:04 That was bad because the Titans didn't win a game. No.

25:08 Yeah.

25:08 Can you imagine if Rodgers wins Super Bowl final year? Oh, man. That podcast is going to be massive.

25:15 Yeah, that would be rough because he's like, I told you. you don't get vaccinated that's how you win the super bowl yeah what about.

25:21 Those other years what about the jets here rogers.

25:24 Are they cooked i don't know six i'll say i don't think they're cooked i don't think there's any like major thing that's happened where it's like oh man this is like bad level of like yeah but he's achilles goes again this week that's true actually i forgot about that news.

25:41 That could be good news like They're making early adjustments.

25:45 Open potential. Yeah.

25:46 I think I'm with you on a six. I thought about seven, but I think a six is good because I still think there's a chance. That division right now, it's only two wins a win. Jags are leading at four to two, and then it's Colts two to four, Texans two to four, and Titans one to five. So obviously they lost some division games there, but still, like we've seen before, the Jaguars always implode either near the end of the season or in the... the playoffs. I just know the Jags because I watch AW, and the owner of AW also owns the Jags, so I'm always seeing updates and stuff, and I always hear how Trevor Lawrence is going to be his year, and he throws a pick and looks super sad on the sidelines, and then he does it again. I feel like this is

26:25 going to be the third year where we'll be like, you know, the Jags, they look like they could be a threat, and then when the lights are on bright, it ain't a threat. They're not built that way.

26:33 Things could change, but that's where I don't think it's... Really good win this last week.

26:36 Yeah, absolutely. But that's where I think Coles, there's a chance they can make a comeback. So, you know, we'll see. Seahawks, how cooked are they?

26:43 I feel like I'm kind of a Hawks hater. Not just because Darnold abandoned ship. Yeah, we know why.

26:55 He abandoned ship, whatever. You could have a Super Bowl right now.

26:59 No, we wouldn't have. No, we wouldn't have. You don't know that?

27:01 He led that team to the Super Bowl.

27:03 His defense led him to Super Bowl, and he just steered the oar or whatever the fuck they do on shows.

27:09 Nah, it's JSN.

27:13 Absolutely. JSN is a phenom. He is so fucking good at that role. He is insane.

27:18 Detol, what do you want for him? What do you want, Detol? I don't know if you're listening, but what do you want for him? You're what? You're 2-4 right now? I could make something happen for you. Give me JSN back.

27:30 Um... How cooked are they? I don't think they're that cooked. I don't think it's their year. Like, I don't think they're winning the Super Bowl. I could maybe see them squeak into the playoffs. They don't look great right now. It was an exciting this week's game where they did that, like, nice comeback. Ended up falling short to San Fran. But it was a competitive game for sure. Like, I don't know. Four?

27:59 Five?

28:01 Four or five? I don't know. I don't want to go too high. Somewhere in the middle.

28:05 I'm on the five range. I'm like a 50-50, because there's two ways. Either, because this happens a lot, right? This happens where a Super Bowl team or a top team loses some games, and the narrative is, oh, they are cooked. They're washed. They can't do it, yada, yada, yada. And then come time playoffs, they're operating like they were. Also, I remember Darnold's coming off an injury, so he's probably not fully 100%. they, and it's self-imposed stuff, they fucking should never let Kenneth Walker go, I never understood that, when I heard about that in the offseason, I remember getting that notification, I'm like, this running back, that everyone's like, man, look at this powerhouse, look at the movies he's making,

28:39 he won the fucking MVP at the Super Bowl, like, yeah, we'll let him go to Chiefs, and if all the people do, the fucking Chiefs, they don't fucking need us, and the Chiefs are doing exactly what I thought, I thought the Chiefs were going to come back strong, and I still think they're going to end up in the Super Bowl, I think they're I think they're fucking really motivated because I think they had a very bad season with injuries and a humiliating season because even before Mahomes got injured, they weren't looking good, right?

29:01 They looked really bad.

29:02 Yeah, Kelsey got better near the end of the season, but same thing. Kelsey at the start of the season was like, oh, this guy's washed. He's got to go hang out with Swift and just do dumb Jeopardy or whatever, right? So I think that.

29:13 With some Jeopardy.

29:14 It's like Jeopardy for kids or whatever. I think five because it could go either way. When you have Jason on there, that's always a playmaker. There's some games that have been lost. I think Darnold could just also snap back into it and be the quarterback. I always knew he could have been and could have won the Vikings.

29:32 Thing.

29:33 Sam Darnold is always going to have a place in my heart because he won me a pizza. And now I'm reversed. I used to be a Seahawk caterer for... years, decades, and now I'm on the bandwagon because I like Darnold and I like Jason. And they also lost some running backs too, so they have tons of injuries as well.

29:48 So that's where you have to wait for 10 weeks from now when the injuries catch up and either other teams have other people that are very injured or the injured players are coming back. That's when we can get in that level playing field. So I'm going five. If you told me at the end of the season this continues, I wouldn't be surprised. But if you were to tell me, hey, they're somehow in the NFC Championship game, and even if you were to tell me they're in the Super Bowl, I went, you know what? I could believe that because Seahawks kind of have still that surprise factor. The question is, are they run out of that? We'll find out in the next few weeks here. Rams, are they cooked? One out of ten.

30:26 No, they're not cooked, I would say.

30:29 They're like two and four.

30:32 I'd say like four. I'm definitely more on the optimistic side of it. I think Stafford is probably the best quarterback in the league right now. Like, he is.

30:41 Understand Darnold, yeah.

30:44 No, definitely not. He's up there. He's in the conversation. He's really good. He's my guy. I'm drafting him.

30:49 He's great.

30:50 And, like, I drafted their defense because of the crazy pairing of Aaron Darnold and Miles Garrett, but that hasn't... happened because Garrett I don't even know what happened I think he's getting like surgery or something he has been playing and obviously Aaron Donald coming off retirement so I don't think he was like doing full workload stuff um other quarterbacks still just like a really solid team across.

31:13 The board you got Josh Allen and Caleb Willems as well those are two other people that people will be throwing out.

31:17 There Josh Allen for sure yeah I would say yeah Willems just.

31:22 Threw 30 to 36 Let's never forget the injury that he faked. That was a pretty tough injury.

31:33 No, it's fair. It probably was. I just like to meme on it because it's just such a funny situation that happened.

31:40 I still think the Bears are winning the division in my opinion.

31:44 They're not undefeated.

31:45 No, but Vikings aren't going to be for much longer either. You think we're.

31:50 Going to take on the Bills in two weeks? You think we're going to take on Josh Allen?

31:56 You can take him on or right. You're just going to be.

31:59 Looking like that.

31:59 This is.

32:03 Going to be me fucking first drive of the game.

32:08 And the second drive.

32:13 I was playing it. I was playing safe.

32:15 Josh Allen runs in for his fifth touchdown. He does it again.

32:18 Josh Allen.

32:20 No, I just think Lions, they're a mess this year. That's not happening. I think Vikings are a hot streak now, but I do think the floor is going to crumble underneath them. I think Packers are having a hot spurt right now, but it's only a hot spurt because Matt LaFleur got a little motivated because the Bears talked some shit and everyone was like, we should fire Matt LaFleur.

32:40 And he's like, we got to do it. Because with that Bears game, he was like, we were up by 17. He's like, yeah, let's fucking go for it again. I was like, yeah, do this all the time. Not just with the Bears. But near the end of the season, he'll spit her out. And that's where I think the Bears actually, I'm not saying bowl or the NFC game.

32:55 I just think the division, I think they're going to have the best shot. And I do think Caleb Williams is like maturing as a player. Honestly, we don't know what happened with the hammy. But I think there's a chance, as much as I don't want it.

33:06 He is an amazing player. Absolutely. I would take him as my quarterback. for sure pretty much any day of the week with what I currently have but um Rams you said three to four oh yeah I was thinking about quarterbacks there for a second I feel like Brock Purdy is still up there also he's amazing he's been popping off too in my fantasy he's been popping off yeah um I also really love Joe Burrow even though he's a just glass cannon that guy just gets injured every day of the week if you look at him wrong he's gonna be injured um but he's still an amazing player for sure I think there's another quarterback I'm thinking of but.

33:41 Jalen Hurts was doing good until some shit went down.

33:45 Man, talk about if they're cooked.

33:46 We'll get there. He's on the list.

33:47 He's on the list.

33:48 We've got three more teams after this. Rams, I think I'm at... I think they just had a lot of unfortunate losses that they could have been close to wins. I know some of you are like, oh, that's lots of games. But I really feel like with the Rams, at least three of those losses were something goes their way.

34:03 They could have got it. So I'm actually still going to go low at a three, especially if they could get it back together. Adams will be back in six to ten weeks. There could be some other people.

34:11 So.

34:12 I'm putting it as three. I don't think they're cooked. I think there's just some bad games and they could make a comeback at this, but you never know. It will be in their head. The Cowboys. Are they cooked?

34:25 Another team I never pay attention to.

34:28 I can start the bidding.

34:30 Okay.

34:31 Yeah.

34:31 What do you think?

34:32 I'm going to go eight because nine is they're going to make the playoffs or they're not going to make the playoffs, right? I'm going eight because they will make the playoffs and lose the first round. the cowboys has a lot of hype.

34:43 The viking special well yeah like.

34:45 The cowboys have a lot of hype and when dac is on a roll and he's got all these receivers but it's just i do believe it's like there's like a curse on the cowboys right now it's not gonna be left until jerry jones dies you know like it's something like that i don't know but um yeah i don't i don't think so i don't think um if you would ask me at the beginning of the season when every team was zero even in preseason i said Cowboys aren't getting the Superbowl. I just don't see it in the cards. I just don't, uh, I think they get in their way. I don't think that it just feels like the team doesn't have like a, like a, like a personality to not like the actual personnel, but just like, you can be like, okay, that's the offense team.

35:22 That's the defense team. That's the smash mouth team. That's the receiver's team. It just feels like the Cowboys are a jack of all trades, but maybe not a master of none. But, um, yeah, I'm going to say eight, make the playoffs, but not, um, not win.

35:36 I think I'll go, like, a seven, a little bit below you. I don't think they're making the playoffs. I agree with your statement that they seem like they get in their own way sometimes, where it just seems like they're, like, hitting a stride. Like, defense is sinking. They're making some, like, really nice plays. Like, Dak looks like just top five quarterback of the league, and then... just a string of bad things happen yeah it's just like man what the fuck are they doing like they're just bad penalties.

36:02 Let's start fucking just messing around man then you do it and then you look over the guys beating you by 14 you're like oh i should i should just kick the field goal i should just on this like that's how they play sometimes or dac is just yeah bad.

36:14 But and it doesn't help that like every i feel like not every but like a lot of the time when i see like cowboys news it's just like the most weirdest like bad news of like Jerry Jones lands his helicopter in the middle of the, the practice field or something like that. Or the fucking, the curtains thing when, when CD lamb was getting blinded in his home statement or stadium because they didn't fucking windows that they have.

36:37 It's just, I see stuff like that. I'm like, man, this is just a joke. Like this team is never gonna, gonna win. Um, yeah, at all. They won the Superbowl the day I was born. So that's my, my one link to that team. But, uh, they haven't won since. So maybe that's my curse. Maybe they won't win as long as I'm alive. You don't have to die. Don't tell Dak. Otherwise he's going to come find me. It'll be just podcasting.

37:03 I'm going to fucking kill you! Poor Shay home alone doesn't know who this Dak guy is from. I'm going to fucking kill you!

37:19 Where's Kirkland? Where are they?

37:22 Where is he? Oh, man. Oh, yeah.

37:26 Eagles.

37:27 How cooked are they?

37:28 Oh, a 10 out of 10. They are so fucking cooked. Their coach is... I don't know if the coach is getting fired, but they're going to have a different coach next year is my assumption also. Yeah, I don't know. It just seems bad. They're like center or linemen or someone retired already as the season's been going. I can't remember his name. Saquon's injured, right?

37:52 Yeah, there's some rumors that teams are reaching out to see if they would trade for him, which would be wild.

37:57 Oh, that's wild. And then, of course, the most recent one, Jalen Hurts with blood clots in his lungs. Hopefully he's recovering and alive. Playing fucking games. Crazy, crazy string of news. And they were already not looking good this season. They have a really tough matchup, too, this week, I thought.

38:19 They got the Seahawks thing where they've also lost to a lot of teams where they should not have.

38:22 Oh, it's Cowboys this week. I think Cowboys is going to beat them. Cowboys have been on a losing streak. I still think they're going to beat Philly.

38:27 But, like, Philly's on a four-game losing streak. But they were just losing to people. I can't remember who it was. I think it was maybe the Texans where they lost to some like Tina's undefeated or just nothing.

38:39 But defeated or bad record. Crush them, man.

38:41 Right, yeah. Like it's the same thing with the Seahawks where it's like you should not be losing to this team. Like you guys are better than this.

38:47 And the Jaguars the week before that.

38:49 Well, they're a 4-2 curriculum. They're going to be a Super Bowl team. The Jaguars.

38:52 Trevor Lawrence, yeah.

38:55 Yeah, I'm with you on the 10. Obviously.

38:57 They're so good.

38:58 It could be like 100 if an actual lawsuit does go through. Um, you know, the NFL said, I, we investigated. And then the NFPA is like, Hey, they didn't investigate. And then we asked them if they were going to investigate. They had no intentions of investigating. That's crazy. And I know I've seen this already. Cause I think I got on the algorithm and then there was like some Eagles nation Twitter. It's like, well, Hertz was all for it.

39:22 And he's a real champion. And if he's for it, there's nothing wrong with the Eagles. The point of a doctor is to diagnose and take people. care of patient i'm not saying that's not what happened right we don't know for sure i hopefully the the play association will look into it if there wasn't because all we can go from is those stories they sound super fucking shady blood like there's a wrestler a couple weeks ago pock uh he's four years old He died because he had blood clot in his lungs. And it was a recurring thing in his life, but he had almost like a big asthma attack. Died in his car. Was just waiting to go to a restaurant. Asthma attack because the blood clot was in his lungs.

39:54 Died.

39:55 He's four years old. You look at him, super healthy, super well-conditioned. That blood clots, you don't fucking play around with. So if there's anything that they did, the Eagles, that was against protocol, that's where it's like 100 out of 10 for Cook because that could be massive lawsuits. But what I was saying with Hertz is it doesn't matter if Hertz was for it. It's the doctor's job to be like, you're not playing, buddy. Like, whatever.

40:16 It's like a doctor stopping a fight, right? Same sort of thing.

40:19 Absolutely. Not just like a guy being like, oh, no, I'm still good. No, you're not. You're fucking knocked out. We're stopping the fight. So I don't care what anyone says like, oh, well, Hertz was for it. Yeah, he's a fucking athlete who either wants the money or a win. Or we talk about the end of this cast. Maybe he's just a fucking meathead who doesn't know any better.

40:34 I'm not saying I don't think Hertz is, but I'm saying like there's a bunch of athletes like that that will be. hey, I'm fucking hurt. I'd get more hurt if I get this win.

40:41 I'll do it, right? Well, they probably play hurt all the time, right?

40:43 Yeah.

40:43 So it's probably that mentality, like they're a warrior.

40:46 Yeah, and there's an aspect of that I respect, but then there's also a line where it comes from respect to this is dumb. So let's take that out and say, that's to say they did everything right and he's just out of the season. There's still a 10. They're still 10. They're already 2-4. You lost Hurts. You know what's bad?

41:03 Even Andy Dalton's like, yeah, I'm not going to come back to Philly. They offered him. He went to the Falcons. Andy Dalton getting paid any six figures amount is ridiculous in 2026. He was one of my early calls when they drafted him. People were talking about him as the next big thing. I'm like, this guy does not have it on the Bengals. I've never been a Dalton guy.

41:20 He's fucking making money, though, that guy. He's always making money, yeah.

41:24 The Eagles, he's making like good seven figures. And I don't know. It's not that personal. I just, anytime I saw him playing, I'm like, I don't think he's got it. So you have that Barkley's hurt. Um, you have, there was another lineman retiring. Yeah. Lineman retiring. I thought there was one other shitty thing going on with them, but, um, yeah, I, it's not looking good for the Eagle. So I agree on that on the 10 aspect. So, uh, last team, then we're in this episode, uh, My new precious commanders that I adopted two years ago. Because I always say I need three teams. I adopted the commanders. You got the controversial tie with New York two weeks ago where Daniels ran the ball. You have maybe controversy where Dan

42:07 Quinn says he knew his fourth down, but then you have a clip of him saying, oh, his fourth down. So who knows? We're just lip reading. You lost Terry.

42:16 There was two injuries, I thought, that game, right?

42:20 What was the other one?

42:22 And some, maybe the running back or something. Like it was another offensive player.

42:25 Running back was injured the week before. So he was, maybe he just got moved to IR though. That could have been it. Like I have him, that Merkle Crockett guy or whatever. I didn't play him much, but so they lost him. I, for me as a newly adopted commanders fan, I think they're a 10 because I don't think they're making playoffs. And I think the season is going to have bad ramifications and, um they lost also brian's.

42:48 So out man he's so he's gone he's gotta be.

42:51 Which is so funny that's it moves quickly two years ago i was like oh this is the breath of fresh air they need but uh they lost brian robinson jr who's on the falcons who every once in a while is having great weeks they had to bring back austin eckler who they let go last year and i like eckler but you know it's just like they're fine scraps and as much as i like him he's very fun to watch at times but I do think Jane Daniels is a ticking time bomb for injuries. It's the same thing as, uh, he's worse than, uh, maybe he's not worse. Maybe he's the same as Jackson Dart. Like it just like these guys more than Jackson Dart, right?

43:24 That's what I was thinking. But like these guys that are getting so injured so early on, it's just like, I can't remember what it was. Some reporter tweeted like, or report that one of the, I think it was like someone on the commanders, like as a source of like, they're very worried about Jaden taking one more bad hit. And, like, they think he could be over for him. And just, like, it's tough when he's not the biggest guy and you play this style where you're running and moving around a lot.

43:47 It's fun to watch. So I think the problem with the Commanders is they're going to have lots of rebuilding years coming up, which is crazy. Remember they beat the fucking Lions last year? Or was it two years ago?

44:00 Two years ago. Their playoff run was insane. That was Jane Daniels' rookie year.

44:03 Yeah. There's a chance Jane Daniels could be the first ever rookie in a Super Bowl, like, And that's something where, whether it's coaching or just luck and magic, that year they had magic. And they were the funnest team to watch.

44:16 I think it was four fourth quarter comebacks. They won. They were all at home. It was all that year. Also that same year, obviously.

44:26 Yeah. yeah and they're so fun to watch and this year it's very depressing to watch.

44:30 That hail mary win that they got remember that player got like kicked off his team because he was like taunting the crowd and then that happened like that was such a wild i think.

44:37 That won me a game that or at least almost won me a game because it got me a manager or no actually i think i had him benched actually i think i said i'll never bench him ever again yeah and now i i three years in a row i still got jayden so i i think that A lot of things are going to happen to the commanders.

44:52 I hope it turns around, but it's, it's, they just, when we talk about like the Rams, it's like, okay, I can Rams or Colts. I can see a way where they turn things around. Even Hawks, right?

45:02 Same thing.

45:04 Eagles. No. And commanders, especially as a team where it's like, I don't see this turning around.

45:08 Yeah.

45:08 I think we are where we are. So.

45:10 There were some moments in this last game. Obviously, they had injuries, so it's like, okay, they're definitely going to lose. But then they kind of had a bit of a push near the end of the game, made it a little bit exciting. Even the last throw of the game, the guy caught it, but he just got tackled in the air. It was just an impossible ball to bring in, but it was still a playable type situation. Yeah. I think there could be, like, little glimpses. That's, like, the best case scenario, though. Like, they're definitely not making the playoffs.

45:38 I just hope that they can maybe, like, salvage something this year. So it's not they're just going into the offseason of, like, hey, we got to clean the swamp. We got to clear it out. Drain the swamp.

45:47 Or go for that number one draft pick, you know?

45:50 They're not getting that. They're not getting that. Come on, now. That's the 06 Chargers. They got to be.

45:55 Oh, man.

45:56 I forgot about the fucking Chargers, man.

45:59 That's a 10 right there.

46:00 Yeah. Do you remember, like, I think it was, I don't know, a couple weeks ago or whatnot, but, like, the whole, like, LSU, like, Daniel's thing where he, like, told them to, like, not use his name anymore or whatnot? Yeah. I don't know. I feel like I appreciate his game, but, like, there's just some things I hear. I'm like, this is probably just a weird guy, but I don't know anything about him, and I don't even, like, look into knowing anything about him, so I'll disclaimer that. He didn't look at him and his mother. But just some of the things I see, I'm like, this guy just seems like a strange man. And then the fucking, I couldn't believe what I was seeing that New York giants game when, uh,

46:33 Scadabo was like so distraught. Cause he fumbled the ball and it's like, Oh my God, these guys are going to win the game now. As if, as if his like remote died on his PlayStation mid game and you can't pause the game. Like that's basically how it ended. And I'm like, are you fucking kidding me? How many, like, steps are in place of like, okay, we're going to have like perfect strategy. Everybody knows their job. Everybody knows what the fuck they're doing. This is the professional NFL.

47:01 And that's how the fucking games ends. As if this is my like second time playing Madden and I don't know how to like clock manage or anything. Like that's how it felt.

47:09 It was so weird.

47:11 Yeah. So weird.

47:13 Yeah. I'm just waiting to end the week.

47:15 I'm going to say Dan Quinn. I'm going to say they're cooked. Yeah, exactly. Dan Quinn's gone. That's my prediction.

47:19 They're cooked. And even then, like, I think like, Next season, depending on how things go, Daniels could very much be on the, like, hey, get ready to be a backup. You know, like, even if not injury stuff, if.

47:32 He's not performing. James Winston.

47:36 James Winston on the commandos could be some magic. I don't know.

47:39 Him talking to Jaden.

47:42 The Lord told me on fourth down, you don't run it. You kick that field goal. We do that. You know. That's it. Those are the teams. There you go, Matty. I hope you like that. That was fun, Matty. It was good to talk about that. It was good little checking. And yeah, for football stuff, we didn't get to do it last year because we just got busy. Our plan is don't hold our feet to the fire because our next Vikings and Packers game, if it lines up, what we want to do is like a triple header where we wanted to react to it last time and things were busy. We'd like to do a reaction where me and Kirkland are on our pods here, watch the Vikings-Packers game together. Because football has a lot of downtime, I

48:19 think we'd also use that to record if I speak. So, you know, about football, about other stuff, just because, you know, everyone watches football. Sometimes, you know, there'll be two minutes left and that's a fucking 30 minute game. Right. And then also we didn't do it last year, but we're going to probably if it all lines up to make it like a football afternoon. We'll still do the regular afternoon, but we'll do like a hey, if anyone wants to come in here, hang out with us, watch some football, talk some stuff. We'll do that. So it'll be like a triple header of like a watch long, AFI speaking after nine. So that's happening November 15th tentatively right now.

48:50 We're going to see. Maybe actually fucking kills us. You never know. I'm waiting one of these years. That's what's going to happen. When we do this 24 hours from when we're 60, we're going to look over and someone's just going to be passed away on the couch. And it's going to be over. But hopefully we get lots of donations. But there you go, ladies and gentlemen. That was If I Speak. We'll be back next month with a new episode. And I promise you it'll not be boring.

49:09 Bye.
