Damn, they didn't even talk about the Browns during their segment. Only about Baltimore. Sad.
Chris Simms says bills are too Josh allen centric….. ya… what team with a great qb isn't?
Smoke in the air😎
Chris says he doesn't want to call Terry a liar but then proceeds to do so for 5 minutes…
Justin fields will be better than Jalen hurts when he gets more help y'all can book that
Chris HATES the Vikings so much it's unbelievable.
This dude is DEFINITELY a "Viking Hater" if he spends ALL the time complaining about the personal fouls against the Colts, which were extremely minor in nature, and virtually NOTHING about the TWO TOUCHDOWNS the referees robbed from the Vikings! This is just extremely ridiculous bias on Chris's part at this point. Lol!!!!
Why are we pretending that Josh allen played well against the dolphins with all of his fumbles?
Josh Allen & Stefon Diggs gotta go straight up Lebron & Kyrie 2016 Finals to win the Super Bowl this year.
are there always this many flowers ?
I’m with the rest of America, I thought simms would take the giants all day
I’m not a Cowboys fan but man it’s funny how KC hasn’t gotten the same criticism for struggling against the Texans the way Dallas did
Chris is picking Gardner-Minshew to beat the Cowboys this week, right?
Simms is so bias when he talks about Hurts. "Just throw it up, and my guy catches it." Really? So when Mahomes or Allen air it out into tight windows it's high level, but when Hurts does it it's his receivers? What a joke dude.
I dont know or listen to anyone who understands football and tries to downplay what Hurts is doing more than this dude. Where's all this "analysis" when Kelse bales Mahomes out on third and long by going off script and smokes a DB? Don't even get me started on the prayers Pat use to toss up to Tyreek. Or what about when Allen throws it up to Diggs and Davis. He acts like these other dudes don't have extremely capable receivers that make them look good all the time.
You can claim that it's the system all you want. The fact is the system only works as well as it does because of how good Hurts is. I've watched breakdowns of his tape, along with watching it myself. There's very few if any throws Hurts can't make, he's regularly throwing guys open, his ball placement is solid, he rarely makes bad decisions, and his ability to read the defense and make quick decisions is getting better by the week. This pretending like he's being carried has to stop.
Also, that second pick he threw against the bears was not a "bad throw". It was an in rhythm pass and a broken rout by Watkins. Sure maybe he shouldn't have thrown it, but that was only his 5th pick of the year. That makes at leat 3 out of his 5 picks that you can easily argue weren't even his fault. I don't like making excuses for turnovers but the tape doesn't lie. Hurts plays borderline flawless football week after week. The Eagles are the best team in football, and it's inarguably because of him. To insinuate that they would even be half as good with Minshew as the starter is just lazy and disrespectful. I can tell you right now, every Eagles fan is terrified of the idea of Minshew starting against the Cowboys.. we're all desperately hoping Hurts' shoulder is okay lol
It was a bad play, but the ULTIMATE BLAME IS ON THE HEAD COACH… HE SHOULD HAVE CALLED FOR ONE OF TWO PLAYS. 3 seconds left. Pass immediately to the sideline or concede and take a knee go to overtime…. L O L
thx as always and hi to the facility lady 6:58 – again 8)
Thibs, Ojulari, Sexy Dexy, Giants pass rush is coming alive baby. NASCAR package coming back with a few more pieces
Feel bad for Jacobi Myers. He did not expect that ball to be tossed to him and just freaked out. Rhamondre gotta eat some of that
Simms I know for sure you didn’t watch the Chiefs game. Carl Cheffers was an absolute menace on Sunday.
Mclaurin isn’t lying but it sounds like a miscommunication. That pass interference in the endzone was ridiculous. Db was fully hugging the wr, terrible no call.
The refs were against Washington in both of their games against New York. Either the league wants the revenue that comes with a New York team in the Playoffs or they don't want Dan Snyder's team in the Playoffs or both.
Billicheat didn't like that part!
There’s gotta be a chance that Chris simms was the “milf” from this summers story. The way he defends Zach Wilson is comical
Simms… FFS… Football predates American Football by like 80+ years… it's more like "dad" not "cousin"
Damn I watched the whole show great job
Idk what’s going on with Tampa this year. Just like Pats, shocking to see a Tom Brady team so lazy and lack focus
really dug in on Zach Wilson, I think he refuses to admit he is wrong,
Honestly I’m a little conflicted. I’m always happy when the Bills win. But on the other hand McDermott has not addressed any of the things the team is poor at in 5 years. Defensively they are only great at situational defense through a combo of great plays made by players and some good coaching. he’s no different than a average DC. He just just gets bailed out by Allen almost every week. Zero run game without Allen for 5 years plus our WRs don’t do dick after the catch as again Bills YAC is near bottom of the league. Then we see other coaches who do what they can to make life better for their qb in less than 1 year ex Bengals and their Oline. But as long as the Bills keep winning regular season games which could the only thing they do win highly doubt McDerott will be shown the door. I prey he proves me wrong! Cause I still can’t and won’t ignore how he has changed this team from what it was before.
Fun fact four of the top five passing leaders have just above or below 50% of their passing yards is from YAC. Unfortunately for Allen just under 23 percent of his passing Yards come from YAC making it crazy that he’s even in the top 5.
Mac Trucked? Raiders of the Tossed Arc? What is this play called??
Kavon sacking Chris simms as the Sunday night crew signed off would’ve been lovely
Are you talking about the personal foul on Stephon Gilmore where he literally went airborne to try to decapitate Jefferson? If so… Wtf? Dude should have been thrown out for that hit. I agree personal fouls are out of control, but this was a dirty hit, one of many by Gilmore. He was TRYING to hurt Jefferson all game, until they finally took him off the assignment.
"I got a little trim on Friday." Well done, sir. Congrats!
It pains me to say this (being a Longhorn fan), but Chris's Simms ability to evaluate QBs is just as bad how HE played QB in the NFL.
Chris you are the WORST evaluator of talent EVER.
It’s obvious you don’t know football regarding your comments about Hurts. He has proven to deserve the MVP without question. Sorry you’re just a Hurts hater. Frankly you should not be ever covering football based on all of your bad calls. Just my 2 cents.
I know it wont happen but they should make it that you cant have have a white sole on your shoe. It has been exploited and people will continue to exploit it like this to confuse people. Just get it stopped and put a colored sole on all shoes.
One of my favorite come backs was a London game. My favorite team the lions against who else, Matt Ryan's falcons. Lions were down 22 at half. They played nearly perfectly the second half and barely allowed Atlanta to get past midfield the whole second half
Chris "I know football" Sims bro BARELY with those career stats
how is Ahmed every single episode so consistently such a downer. Such a buzzkill. always taking subtle jabs at Simms. It’s like he can’t be funny without it being at Simms’ expense. but he’s not funny anyway so it’s just pathetic and sad. while Simms is the most courteous and nicest guy
“Christmas Threeve” for the Triple header?
Love the show guys.
What are you afraid CHRISTMAS.omg festis?
It is actually egregious that Simms is mentioning the bad ref calls against the Colts with greater emphasis than the bad calls vs the Vikings in that game. It is undisputable that the refs created a 21 point swing in favor of the Colts (2 Defensive TDs called back, one of which lead to an immediate pick 6 when Reagor jumped out of the way of the pass). Not even mentioned was the phantom facemask call against the Vikings on a great punt return. How can Simms say "I've never seen them call a play dead that fast as they did on Matt Ryan's QB sneak) when they literally did it TWICE that game against the Vikings (both fumble recoveries). I question if Simms is just biased against the Vikings because of preconceived narratives, or if he just doesn't watch their games very close.
I like what Ray Lewis said about Mac Jones after seeing that play: “JUST MAKE THE DAMN TACKLE!”
Trevor Lawrence is perfect example of what Bradshaw has been saying: we have to give these young QB’s at least 3-5 years before we judge their worth. I think it took Drew Brees a bunch of years and multiple teams before he found his game. What do you think?
