I hadn’t got to watch enough Bo Nick and I’m pretty interested in watching him play considering I’m a bears fan with Caleb wanting to see how other quarterbacks that we could have had ended up with our doing good game
I can't recall who said it, someone said certain players on field are making "business decisions" if a player knows season is over, WHY risk injury?
You guys are trash, thought we were talking tnf!!! Blah blah blah, everything but the game
Did not watch the game at all. Just wanted to say thank you for watching that Shit Show the NFL decided to broadcast nationally so I didn’t have to.
Rattler SUCKS
Alvin Kamara's body language was terrible yesterday.
Worst team in the NFL Saints Saints brutal
I think everybody likes to watch Fields play but he's still looking like a rookie after this much time I can see why they would want to start even the shaky Russell Wilson to stabilize this offense
It’s brilliant by Tomlin because the news after the game isn’t going to be Wilson or fields it’s Rodgers leaving early and the jets are done.
Yes to the facial hair…
Tom Brady is vanilla and adds absolutely nothing in the booth. Bring back Olsen
I think the Saints are one of the oldest teams in the league, and now that's showing up with injuries. If I were the owner I would fire sale the place and try to get a bunch of draft picks. I like the Kubiac idea. Young, hungry with a proven system that works in the NFL. Clear the high contract guys, get some cap space and build up draft capitol. Otherwise the Saints are going to revert back to their past performances in the days of the Bag Heads. One way or another they are going to have issues over the next few years maybe a decade.
Bo will be fine. He needs to mirror his feet to the concepts. This will come in time. He was a master of it at Oregon. I’d imagine Bo year 2 with a full offseason to work on it will be lights out next year. He shows enough flashes that I’m invested.
I bought the Broncos spread at -2.5 / seemed like a sensible bet
"Q-Dub," more commonly known as 'Quit Watch' is invaluable for in-game betting.
You know you have been hanging out too much with Colin Cowherd, when you start to use relationships and divorce to make analogies with football….!
Bo Nix' footwork. 🙈
Injuries and bad coaching/leadership did the Saints in. But they were never going anywhere under DA.
John. I started watching you since your appearances on Guy Haberman's Pod. Big 49ers fan here! Just wanted to say I really enjoy your content. You bring such a flare when talking about the game! Keep doing you!
That Bo Nix segment was pure gold
JOHN JUST LOVES BALL 🎉
JOHN JUST LOVES BALL 🎉
This content is life!
Troy is petty. But what we need is a Charles Barkley for the NFL
Given the low talent and cap issues from Russ, the team is over performing
Olave to the Chiefs please!
Agree to strongly disagree my guy, my ex of a 14 yr bid can and probably is in a relationship now and I will easily not even acknowledge her if i passed her walking down the street. Im gooooood there.
You talking about the drew brees chant was hilarious 😂
nix pretty much played terrible and they still destroyed the saints. wtf 😂😂
John is my favorite NFL podcast, Joel Klatt is my favorite College Football podcast. Give us the crossover we want. Let’s get it done gentleman.
I can't take Colin serious at all. He always takes his buddies and elevates them higher than they should ever be. But his take on his boy Nix over Purdy is absolutely insane. Rather listen to Middlekauff any day.
Can someone clue me into the Bo Nix hype? 61 college starts and looks like the least prepared rookie this year…. With an obvious lower floor than the rest of the class as well. Why are people so high on this guy?
Bo did some good things, and there were definitely some concerns. A big thing was him not setting his feet after his first read wasn’t open, but in his defense guys weren’t really getting open, and there were some drops. I’m still a big believer in Bo, I think he’s made strides since week 1 and I think he’ll just get better
I said on The Full Monte Sports Show Dennis Allen will be the first coach fired. I was wrong it was The Jets who fired their coach first. but Allen is 26-51 as a head coach. Failing upward 😊
John talking bad about Lebron about to lose some followers 😂😂😂😂. U know they're sensitive lololol
I'll plant my flag right now that Bo Nix is not gonna wind up being a long term starter in the NFL. His calling card was supposed to be his accuracy and his accuracy is actually terrible. The throw where he missed two wide open receivers was the worst throw this season
Bo will be fine he just needs to calm down on his throws
Nix to me is seeing ghosts and taking too many steps back so hes either escaping the pocket too early or hes rushing his passes. Its hard to break that mental/emotional habit.
Everyone’s journey is their own. Purdy walked into a team stocked with an amazing Oline, great weapons, and basically a “play average and we will be fine” expectation. Here, Bo is asked to be the future Day 1.
I think Bo is forcing too much. You saw him in the TB game absolutely light up that defense through their and on the ground. That’s his upside. Now, He’s too streaky. He needs to calm down, work on his footwork, and please for the love of god, get some more weapons besides no name rookies
Bo is no Brock. That being said this was a no brainer with Denver giving up only 3.5.
15:07 “They already have a pretty good running game” Just say that you haven’t watched any broncos games this season and carry on. Bo Nix has been their leading rusher in like half these games. The Broncos run game has been FUCKING ABYSMAL
nix is a bust
Bravo, very eloquent and full of sports empathy. Great call on a game that was full of a lot more emotion than football.
If you're wearing a green t-shirt 👕 on this episode then there's something wrong with my eyes. 🤔🇺🇸
