Week 17 Sunday Night Freestyle: 2019 ends fittingly with another blown call & a Jameis pick-six Dec 30, 2019

Show notes

The 2019 regular season ended with a number of moments that seemed to perfectly encapsulate the season: another missed defensive pass interference call, a Jameis Winston pick-six, the Detroit Lions losing in heartbreaking fashion. Some things never change.

Terez Paylor & Charles Robinson recap the final weekend of the 2019 NFL season, starting with the Seahawks controversial loss to the 49ers in primetime and the subsequent playoff repercussions, the Patriots even more surprising loss to the Dolphins (4:35) and the disappointing resolution to the NFC East (13:00).

Later in the show, they touch on a hard-nosed Tennessee Titans team that seemingly no one wants to play in January (21:05), the Cleveland Browns firing head coach Freddie Kitchens after one season (26:15), the Broncos having a summer to build around Drew Lock (37:40) and whether Kyler Murray should win rookie of the year (48:25).

Beast mode back in Seattle, are some doomed coaches safe and trap game for Philly? Dec 24, 2019

Show notes

It's Christmas Eve at the time this podcast was released, but Seattle fans got their presents a couple days early. Marshawn Lynch, Seahawk icon who destroyed the New Orleans Saints in 2011 with the Beast Quake run, signed with Seattle this week after the team had to put Chris Carson on IR.

Terez Paylor & Charles Robinson dive into the seismic news in Seattle, but first they address the Minnesota Vikings' soul-searching loss to the Green Bay Packers on Monday night. Is this the ceiling for Kirk Cousins, who has had a statistically impressive season, but has yet to carry any team over the hump in the playoffs? (0:15)

Then, our experts dive into the running back news out of Seattle and wonder, if Pete Carroll has a 3rd or 4th & goal on the one-yard line this January, will he finally hand the ball off to Marshawn? (7:15)

Looking ahead to this weekend, Charles & Terez wonder if the Philadelphia Eagles aren't primed for a trap game against the New York Giants, who put up huge offensive numbers last week and might want to play spoiler to their division nemesis. (11:45)

For the bulk of the episode, the guys discuss the handful of coaches who are presumed to be coaching their last games this weekend. Are the likes of Pat Shurmur, Jason Garrett, Doug Marrone and Dan Quinn really on their way out, or are a few of those guys a strong win away from saving their jobs? Also, what about wild-card candidates like Freddie Kitchens and Anthony Lynn? (16:50)

One team that won't be moving on from their coach, despite a disappointing season, is the Los Angeles Rams. Charles has some behind-the-scenes updates on a few different stories that will likely come out of the club this offseason. (45:50)

Finally, the guys wrap the show up taking a listener question about the Denver Broncos future and a potential Derrick Henry landing spot (52:40).

Week 16 Sunday Night Freestyle: Cowboys couldn't live up to moment of truth in Philly Dec 23, 2019

Show notes

A fourth and 8. A season on the line. A star wide receiver sitting on the bench. Assuming the Eagles beat the Giants next week, that's where the 2019 Dallas Cowboys season ended and as all signs seem to indicate, the Jason Garrett era in Big D as well.

Terez Paylor and Charles Robinson open their Week 16 recap with the headline coming out of the NFC "least": the Cowboys all but kissing their playoff hopes goodbye with a loss in Philly. There was plenty of finger pointing after the show, but as our experts indicate, getting rid of Jason Garrett won't be the end to the Cowboys' woes.

Terez & Charles recap all of the Week 16 games including Michael Thomas' brilliant and record-breaking performance in Tennessee (10:20), the Seahawks' surprising loss at home to the Cardinals (13:55), why the Cleveland Browns aren't ruling out a coaching change (22:00) and the surprisingly high-octane performances from the Bengals, Dolphins, Giants and Washington.

Suggs to KC, Patricia stays put & why Josh Gordon isn't gone forever Dec 18, 2019

Show notes

With only two weeks to go in the regular season, a slew of small transactions are highlighting the lead-up into Week 16.

After Terez Paylor & Charles Robinson react to Drew Brees' record-breaking performance on Monday night vs. the Colts, they analyze the Kansas City Chiefs' shrewd move to add former Ravens linebacker Terrell Suggs after he had been placed on waivers by the Cardinals. (10:40)

Up in Seattle, news broke on Monday that receiver Josh Gordon had been suspended for the sixth time since 2013, this time for violation of the league's PED and substance abuse policies. Charles explains why, contrary to popular belief, this might not be the end of Gordon's career, and Terez explains how the league's softening views on marijuana might play into how suspensions are ruled in the future. (16:20)

The Detroit Lions announced that they would be retaining the services of head coach Matt Patricia and GM Bob Quinn. Our experts lament the sorry Lions and try to see a silver lining to the head-scratching decision. (22:00)

Urban Meyer turned heads on Sunday by watching the Eagles/Redskins game from a luxury box in Washington. The guys debate whether or not Meyer has the chops to coach in the NFL. (28:35)

Finally, Charles & Terez wrap up the podcast previewing five important Week 16 matchups: Bills/Patriots, Rams/49ers, Saints/Titans, Cowboys/Eagles and Packers/Vikings. (37:30)

Week 15 Sunday Night Freestyle: Cowboys still need to prove it, plus two dramatic losses in the Bay Dec 16, 2019

Show notes

After losing three straight, the Dallas Cowboys came back strong with their backs against the wall at home against the Los Angeles Rams. Did they show enough to prove they can win the NFC East and make waves in the playoffs, or are we setting up for another disappointment next week against Philadelphia?

Terez Paylor & Charles Robinson provide their thoughts on every single game in the Week 15 schedule, starting with the Cowboys' dominant win over the Rams.

Later, they break down the stunning loss suffered by the San Francisco 49ers at the hands of the Atlanta Falcons, the Buffalo Bills primetime win against the Pittsburgh Steelers and the Houston Texans' close win over the Tennessee Titans for an edge in the AFC South.

They also touch on the Washington Redskins circling former Ohio State head coach Urban Meyer, Mitchell Trubisky's post-game comments, the revelatory Spygate 2.0 video and the chaos in Oakland as the Raiders left the Bay Area on a sour note.

The evidence behind the Spygate sequel and truth behind the OBJ trade rumors Dec 11, 2019

Show notes

It's never not a busy week in the NFL and the lead-up to Week 15 is no exception. Whereas most teams never get involved in a single cheating scandal, the New England Patriots are now smack dab in their second one, their third if you include deflate-gate.

Charles Robinson & Terez Paylor break down the intriguing evidence behind the incident that can only be known as Spygate 2.0. What's troubling about the video crew purportedly recording an in-house video and is there a possibility the Patriots are telling the truth? (0:15)

On Sunday, there was more drama coming from the Cleveland Browns locker room after it was reported that Odell Beckham, Jr. said, "come get me" to at least one other team and was secretly plotting his way out of the troubled organization. Charles gives some background on the origins of OBJ's issues with the Browns and names at least one team he might have issued this request to (Hint: they're in northern California and have a chance to make it to the Super Bowl this year). (17:15)

Rewinding it all the way back to Monday night, the guys throw some love to Eli Manning after he didn't embarrass himself in what may have been his final game (32:10) before trying to determine who will win the NFC East: the Dallas Cowboys or Philadelphia Eagles. (35:15)

Looking ahead to Week 15, the guys preview the three games they're most interested in checking out in Rams @ Cowboys, Texans @ Titans and Bills @ Steelers. (39:15)

They close out the show answering some listener questions about Spygate 2.0, the Panthers head coaching search and GM candidates in 2020. (53:55)

Week 14 Sunday Night Freestyle: 49ers-Saints & Chiefs-Patriots delivered two playoff-level classics Dec 09, 2019

Show notes

Sunday delivered two conference championship-caliber games in New England and New Orleans, whose Hall of Fame quarterbacks both lost to up-and-comers in Kansas City and San Francisco, respectively.

Terez Paylor & Charles Robinson recap every game from Sunday, starting with the 49ers-Saints 48-46 masterpiece that Terez caught in person and where it stacks up among other recent classics (see: Chiefs-Rams 2018). (0:15)

Next, they dissect the many crazy subplots of the Patriots' loss to the Chiefs in a rematch of last year's AFC championship game. What happened to the Chiefs' gear that got lost at the airport? How much did the Pats get screwed by the officiating, and will they turn it around in 2019? (8:20)

Our experts break-down the rest of the Week 14 games including the Rams looking like last year's Rams against the division-rival Seahawks (15:25), the Titans looking like a powerhouse against the Raiders (22:50), the Broncos looking optimistic with their young QB (32:50), how a house-cleaning is in order in Detroit (46:45) and that ugly loss the Dallas Cowboys suffered on Thursday night (50:00).

Ron Rivera fired, predicting the 2020 QB carousel & leave Kirk alone! Dec 04, 2019

Show notes

News broke late on Thursday afternoon that the Carolina Panthers had parted ways with longtime head coach Ron Rivera. Terez Paylor & Charles Robinson react to this not-quite-stunning news, the direction they see the Panthers organization taking under owner David Tepper and how attractive the Carolina job is compared to other likely head coaching openings. (0:15)

Rivera is not the only figure potentially leaving the Carolina locker room. As unlikely rumors rumors persist that the Panthers could move on from Cam Newton, the guys wondered, what will the QB landscape look like in 2020 with a handful of passers in the position to change teams? With Nick Foles, Andy Dalton, Philip Rivers, Jameis Winston, Marcus Mariota, Ryan Tannehill and Teddy Bridgewater all on the market through free agency or trade, Terez & Charles play a little QB matchmaker. (20:25)

Monday night's 37-30 duel between the Seattle Seahawks and Minnesota Vikings left many heaping the blame on Kirk Cousins. Charles explains why that sentiment is misguided and why fans and the media should be looking at Minnesota's other shortcomings before pointing the finger at Kirk. (32:45)

Finally, the guys wrap up the show previewing three Week 14 matchups between playoff-bound squads in Baltimore @ Buffalo (38:55), Kansas City @ New England (41:10) and San Francisco @ New Orleans (45:30).

Week 13 Sunday Night Freestyle: Patriots unseated atop the AFC and Ravens defeat another elite team Dec 02, 2019

Show notes

49ers. Rams. Seahawks. Texans. Patriots. Chiefs. While some other teams (lookin' at you, Cowboys) have trouble defeating just one team with a winning record, the Baltimore Ravens have amassed wins over just about every other elite team in the league. Now, they're in the driver's seat for the top seed in the AFC thanks to a New England loss on Sunday night at the hands of the Houston Texans.

Terez Paylor and Charles Robinson discuss this reshuffling atop the AFC to start off their weekly Sunday night podcast. Later, they recap the rest of the games from an upside-down slate of Week 13 action, including the Eagles getting an absolute WTF loss against the Dolphins, the Bengals earning their first win of the season, the Jaguars, Panthers and Giants heading in the direction of making some offseason coaching changes and a rehash of the three Thanksgiving games.

Where do Rams go after MNF embarrassment, and are Garrett to NYG rumors for real? Nov 27, 2019

Show notes

After a 45-6 beatdown at the hands of the superhuman Lamar Jackson and the Baltimore Ravens, things are looking bleak for former NFC champs, the Los Angeles Rams. Terez Paylor & Charles Robinson open the podcast breaking down the highs and lows of the Ravens' Monday night domination. Are the Rams about to make massive changes this offseason? How the hell are teams going to stop Lamar in January? (0:15)

Next, the guys move to a pair of interesting stories coming out of the NFC East. Is there any validity to the rumors that the New York Giants could be interested in Jason Garrett if he were to move on from the Cowboys this offseason? (23:45)

Sticking with the Giants, should the G-Men bench Saquon Barkley for the remainder of the year to preserve him for next season and the rest of his career? (33:40)

Switching back over to the AFC, the guys break down the traffic jam developing for the sixth-seed in the playoffs. With the Steelers, Raiders, Colts, Titans and Browns all competing for one spot with five games to go, who will prevail in this battle royale? The four losers get to start their vacations before 2019 is up and the winner will likely travel to Arrowhead in January. (37:35)

Lastly, the guys preview the four matchups they're looking forward to most in Week 13: San Francisco @ Baltimore, Tennessee @ Indianapolis, New England @ Houston and Minnesota @ Seattle. (45:45)
