Ep 62-Week 2 Review

by

What a week in the NFL!
It was good if you’re a doctor, but if you are a QB-not so good.

What the heck happened in the week, and will the NFL ever be the same again?

Our pundits Wade McElwain & Ryan Cull look at all of the big games, as well as some of the really crappy games as well.

They break down some of the big match-ups and reflect on some of the truly happy plays, so that you don’t have to.
Including:

Week 2 Games

Bears vs Broncos-Hey refs! Get your heads out of your asses. This was a truly shameful game for the fans, as the refs blew another set of key plays. How soon before we get AI or robot refs?

Bills vs Giants-The age of Eli is officially over, and the Bills are threatening the AFC (metaphorically) Will the Bills be able to tough it out this season?

Cardinals vs Ravens-Hmmm…the Ravens were stalled by Kyler Murray and the Cardinals. Is their swan song of Week 1 officially over? Too early to tell-but don’t bet the house on them.

Cowboys vs Redskins
‘Dem Boyz are 2-0 which means it’s time to over react. Are they the second coming? Or are the Redskins better than they seem. Maybe they do have something to lose?

Chargers vs Lions
The Lions finally have their roar back, and they blasted it on the Chargers. Will they be able to sustain this though? Are the Chargers out of power?

Seahawks vs Steelers
Big Ben is broken, will he ever be put back together? Doubtful. And the Seahawks D doesn’t look that solid either. How will the Steelers put the team back together again?

49ers vs Bengals
Jimmy G was in the house, and he didn’t look as horrible as expected. The Bengals continue to look like a garbage truck crashed into a methadone clinic.

Listen, laugh, love, pumpkin spice.

AFC North Prediction

by

All hail the Cleveland Browns!
For they are here to save us from our misery, deliver us from evil, and atone for their past wrong-doings.
Or, they might just lose.

Browns fans certainly have an air of confidence this season after so many years of bleach-chugging in the bottom of the division.
Yes, they have a lot of tools to make a run for it, but do they have enough to crush the rest of the division?
Nope.
There are just too many X-factors on this team, and then there is the road to the AFC playoffs.
Does anyone think that this Browns team could stop Tom Brady?
No way Jose.

Then there are the Pittsburgh Steelers.
After dropping the dead weight of Antonio Brown, the Steelers actually look like that they might be able to perform solidly under Mike Tomlin this season.
James Connor got his running legs under him last season, and Juju has the room to run all over this division.
Wade McElwain and Ryan Cull both have the Steelers to pip the other teams in this division.

The Ravens are an interesting team in their depth, but their experience might be what bites them on the butt.
Their running game looks tight, but will Lamar Jackson be too predictable in his runs.
Joe Flacco wasn’t a runner, but he sure was able to move the ball down the field.
Going to be tough this year in this division, but they should still hit around the 500 mark.

The Cincinnati Bengals are just a mess. With AJ Green injured (again) one wonders how the ginger-ninja Andy Dalton is going to string together wins.
The defence was hobbled last season, & with Vontaze Burfect off to the Raiders, will they have any punch on their D line.

Wade and Ryan agree on this one as well.
All hail the Steelers-champions of the AFC North!
