What is the Vibe Check and how does Wildes gather fan sentiment?

Kevin Wildes 0:00
Welcome to week two vibe check. 32 teams. We got responses across the league. Here's how vibe check works. Rather than me just Not just guessing, but I because I do have my finger on the pulse of the entire NFL. This is actual research where I reach out to fans of the local teams, tell me what the vibe is locally. We compile them all and compare them week to week. Uh the early big picture takeaway for the vibes of the entire NFL is that. Everyone feels pretty good. 69% of respondents are seven, eight, nine, or ten. So everyone's optimistic, which is fantastic, ton of points. We'll get to the highest climbers from week one to week two, the highest climbing team, where the vibes were okay, and now they are through the roof.

They moved from number 24 on the vibe checklist to number Number six. It is the San Francisco 49ers with a huge win down under over the Rams. Here's the quote We are the best team in the league while healthy. An offense with CMC, Brock Purdy, George Kittle, and a defense with Fred Warner, Dre Greenlaw, and Nick Bosa is a combination of talent that no other team in the league has besides the Rams. And we beat the Rams in blowout fashion. Bang bang Niner gang, Jackson Ross. Jackson, savvy analysis. Fantastic. Coming in at number two with a stunning, and I mean stunning rise from 4.83 to 7.67. The second highest vibe riser is the Arizona Cardinals, who currently have the 11th best vibes in the entire league.

A win against the Seahawks, and we're making the playoffs. Elton. Now, Elton, I know it's your first break. Brush with success. But enjoy the ride. Live in the moment.

Which teams saw the biggest vibe jumps from Week 1 to Week 2?

Kevin Wildes 1:57
Don't always be thinking about making the playoffs, winning the Super Bowl. You beat the champs. If it was boxing, you would be the champ. I think you should be happy with that. Shout out to Arizona. But maybe you guys are the deep sleeper. And shout out to former Patriot, always once a patriot, always a patriot, Jacoby Brissett. Coming in at number three, this team is a true deep sleeper. This team has a long tradition. Of being terrible. This team Has moved. From the twenty ninth best vibes, aka the third worst. Two seventeen, nice and right in the middle, but for them, fantastic. It's the New York Jets. If we beat the Packers, you're going to need to add a eleven to the vibe scale. It's like a uh spinal tap reference.

Shout out my two week old Conrad. I had a um I have a buddy who's a Jets fan. And A while ago, his son's probably Twelve, thirteen, twelve or thirteen now, but we've been friends for a few years. So maybe someone was five or six and was getting into football. And he was complaining about the Jets and he was just really going through it like a real agony. Almost like hі was like cursed with an illness. And I said, uh, still. Why don't you just not make them a Jets fan? Like I we live in New York, but I made my kids Patriots fan. You make them whatever you want, just start buying the stuff and turning on the games. And He was offended by it. So there is a nice mix of loyalty and suffering for Jets fans that I almost respect.
Kevin Wildes 3:39
I am 26 years old, and this is legitimately the best I've ever felt about the Jets, signed Will. Shout out to you, Will. You're you're one and oh. If you win next week, holy cow. Death taxes and Robert Sala not understanding a Jets offense. First place Jets, Pete. Shout out to you, Pete. Congratulations, you're in first place.

Why did the New York Jets become the biggest vibe dropper?

Kevin Wildes 3:58
These vibes. Have gotten even higher. It's the Kansas City Chiefs. K9, Kenth Walker is a truck. And he's calling plays from the Great Depression, and Bo Nicks looked like he belonged on Wild Sun's Pee-wee team. How can you not be excited? Don't love that the receivers still stink, but you can't have it all. I'm not feeling too optimistic. I'm over the moon. Brue has caused a phenomenon in these comments. I can barely understand half of them. I'm reading them. I said, Oh, that's interesting. And then I get tricked again. Uh signed Hamza Kazi. Uh the Chiefs do look great. The vibes are through the roof. We talk a lot about the Chiefs, and I'm beloved in Kansas City, but they deserve it.
