Ep 63-Week 3 Preview

by

So what’s going to happen in week 3 of the NFL?
With so many quarterbacks broken and shaken, will some teams be able to complete a winning season?

Wade & Ryan look at all of the key matches this week, and add their ‘expert’ analysis to predict who will win some of these games.
What games should you be looking at for victory.

Some of the key games the guys look at are:

Broncos (0-2) vs Packers (2-0)
The Broncos limp into Lambeau facing a team that hasn’t really lived up to expectations. Wade believes that Aaron Rodgers is injured, and will face a tough contest here.
The Broncos need to get their D together.

Bengals (0-2) vs Bills (2-0)
Ryan is getting high on his own supply, believing the Bills to be the next messiah. But will they be able to joust Andy Dalton and co.? Yes. Bills are facing the Patriots in Week 4, so this will be a viable test game.

Ravens (2-0) vs Chiefs (2-0)
Here’s a guy…that everyone is looking forward to watching.
The Ravens and Lamar Jackson have people believing, but they haven’t faced anyone like the Chiefs yet. Look for Mahomes to roll on.

Raiders (1-1) vs Vikings (1-1)
The Vikings escaped a close one versus the Packers last week, and the Raiders held the Chiefs…for a bit. How will they do this week? Minnesota is at home…in a dome. That says it all.

Saints (1-1) vs Seahawks (2-0)
New Orleans was as crushed as Drew Trees hand after that huge loss to the Rams in Week 2. But will Teddy Bridgewater be able to toss this victory back to the Saints? Probably, but this will be one heck of a game.

Dolphins (0-2) vs Cowboys (2-0)
The Dolphins may very well be the worst NFL team of all time.
That’s all you need to know.

Join us Sunday at Belushi’s Hammersmith to watch all of the games.
See you Sunday.

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.

NFL Team Names

by

How you make a Packer?
Or identify with a Ram?
Or just want to be a Brown?

Well the NFL has some storied history to its legacy, and now you can learn why certain teams were named that way.

The NFL Films have released a very cool video showing what each team went through to get where they are.

There are thousands of stories of NFL team lore, as well as some great stories of failed franchises, reckless owners and trying times in the world that made the NFL a difficult climb.
Remember when the Steelers and Eagles had to join together because WWII took so many players as soldiers that they were unable to field a full team?

We love the NFL, and we love history.
Take a look back as you await that long climb back to Sunday.

Ryan’s Super Bowl

by

It’s that time of the year when every jackass with a football yob makes their blind predictions for the NFL season.
Luckily, we have own blind, yob, and his name is Ryan Cull.

Ryan is an ardent Bills fan, so choosing this must be hard for him.
An all Pennsylvania game, with the Eagles topping the Steelers.

What are the odds on this?
Good question.

NFC East Prediction

by

The NFC East has been a bit of a dumpster fire in the past decade, so what’s to say it’s going to get any better?
Can anyone emerge from here that is able to fight off those plucky AFC teams?
There can be only one…and their name is the Philadelphia Eagles.

Wade McElwain and Ryan Cull look at this tight division to see who might pop from the ashes to take on the NFC contenders.
The Eagles have the best all around team, and with the addition of WR DeSean Jackson, they might have all the tools to go all the way. Will their QB finally rise to the challenge now that the distraction of Big Dick Nick is gone?
Probably.
The healthiness of Carson Went will always be factor, but the running game might also be something to examine.
At the end of it, the Eagles have more tools to go further in this division.

The Giants are a mess. Internally, externally-just a mess.
Yes, Saquon Barkley will be a beast in fantasy, but other than that-it will be watching Eli Manning implode as quickly as the fans do.
They might upset a few games, but mostly themselves.

The Dallas Cowboys are like 3 kids fighting in the back seat while dad ignores them and threatens to smash their toys when they get home.
Everyone wants to get ‘paid’, but do they deserve it and are they worth it in a tight fisted league?
Zeke looks like he is doubtful to suit up soon, and Amari Cooper is probably teetering too.

The Washington Redskins are just atrocious. If there was any time to succumb t the fans and change your name, it’s now.
Dwayne Haskins looks like the kid from ‘Get Out’ stepping into that mental minefield.
Redskins fans will just have to wait and see…and wait and see.

Eagles take the division-Ryan sees them going places.
Wade sees them getting knocked out by the Bears.
Sweet justice.
